Культ (почитание) Ван-е () — это культ, распространённый в провинции Фуцзянь и на Тайване. Центральными персонажами культа являются духи, божественные посланники, которые защищают человечество от невзгод и болезней. Имеет корни в даосской традиции и относится, по мнению исследователей, к «народному даосизму». Особенно распространён на юге Тайваня, где проводятся наиболее характерные и показательные церемонии почитания.

Название
Ван-е (; ; пэвэдзи:  Ông-iâ) — дословно означает «князья», «почтенные господа», «почтенные цари», «тысячелетние», «совершенные правители». Это общее название малых божеств, духов, которые защищают людей от эпидемий и заразных болезней и служат посланниками верховных богов.

История
Историки отмечают, что традиция поклонения сущностям, которые оберегают от болезней, существовала в Китае уже во времена династии ханьской империи, а то и раньше. Предположительно, культ прибыл на юг Тайваня с материкового Китая. Из юго-восточной провинции Фуцзянь, жители которой когда-то составили основную массу переселенцев на остров. О том, что традиция была завезена, свидетельствуют атрибуты культа, а именно небольшие размеры фигурок, изображающих ван-е. Они сохраняют свои малые размеры и в традиционном тайваньском исполнении, что, вероятно, говорит о том, что первоначальные фигурки были компактными, сделанными для путешествий.

Предположительно культ ван-е был перенесён на Тайвань в XVII—XVIII веках, когда острова активно осваивался китайскими переселенцами. Старейшим и главным храмом, связанным с традицией почитания ван-е является Дунлун (в городе ), основанный в 1706 году. К XIX веку окончательно укоренилась праздничная традиция сжигания лодки — кульминационного символического действия, которым завершается многодневный религиозный фестиваль. Предполагается, что в XVIII—XIX столетия культы, связанные с ван-е, достигли наибольшей популярности. А сама традиция распространилась из Фуцзяня и Тайваня. Поклонение Ван-е и праздники сожжения лодок начали исчезать из широкой ритуальной практики в XX веке. Однако во время японской оккупации Тайваня культ здесь пережил новый расцвет.

Разновидности ван-е
Исследователи насчитывают несколько сотен представителей ван-е, которые принадлежат к многочисленному числу семей. В некоторых исследованиях говорится о трёх стах шестидесяти духах и ста тридцати двух семьях. Раз в три года десант из ван-е отправляется на Землю, чтобы буквально устроить охоту на болезни и невзгоды. Исторически все ван-е разделяются на три типа:

Духи чумы
В первую очередь это т. н. Пять комиссаров (ответственных лиц) по эпидемиям. Являются слугами Нефритового императора, у которого буквально несут службу в министерстве по эпидемиям.

Двенадцать царей, способные обуздать эпидемии
Упоминания двенадцати царей встречаются уже в даосских литургических текстах времён империи Сун. Они фигурируют в ритуалах изгнания чумы, проводимых по всему Китаю. Но как храмовым божествам им поклоняются исключительно в Фуцзяне и на Тайване. Также служат в министерстве эпидемий.

Мстительные духи
Духи, ответственные за разрушения (как за избавление или спасение от них, так и за их создание). Среди них как духи почитаются реальные или полулегендарные исторические личности. Например, пират Чжэн Чэнгун. Духов этой категории объединяет преждевременная или насильственная смерть. Характер их смертей позволяет классифицировать их как мстительных призраков, но последователи культа почитают их как военных героев и, в целом, доброжелательных.

Почитание

Раз в три года на Тайване проходят массовые народные гуляния, посвящённые почитанию ван-е. Праздничный фестиваль обычно длится неделю. Он включает в себя процессии, обряды с просьбой о заступничестве и предотвращении болезней, выступление монахов и церемония общения с духами, которому способствуют монахи-медиумы, которые вводят себя в состояние транса.

Кульминацией праздничной недели становится сожжение лодки, которая символически заполнена богатой добычей ван-е — то есть болезнями, которые могли бы навредить людям. Самый масштабный и красочный фестиваль проходит на Тайване в храме  (городе ). Лодки могут быть как чисто декоративными, сделанными из бумаги, так и построенными из дерева, в натуральную величину (вплоть до 100 метров), и практически полностью функциональными.

Современные почитатели культа связывают благоприятную ситуацию с коронавирусом в Тайване во время пандемии с заступничеством ван-е.

For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.

Brexit Strategy Revealed: 'Have Your Cake and Eat It'
The curse of the carelessly shielded notebook strikes again.
Sign up to receive the Brexit Bulletin in your inbox, and follow @Brexit on Twitter.
Britain's negotiating plan for Brexit is revealed: "Have your cake and eat it."
Well, that's the key phrase from a scribbled page of notes photographed in the arms of a Conservative Party aide leaving Downing Street yesterday.
Among the other apparent insights is that some are "loath to do" a transitional deal that would provide a bridge between leaving the EU and establishing a new relationship with the bloc. The European Union team is likely to be "very French" and France will probably be "very difficult,'' the note read.
A deal on manufacturing would be "relatively straightforward," services "harder" with Europe likely to get "a good deal on security," it also said.
The carrier of the document was an assistant to Conservative Vice-Chairman Mark Field, according to newspapers. Prime Minister Theresa May's office said it was neither a government document nor reflected government views.
How to Avoid Falling Off a Cliff
The memo will be greeted with dismay by bankers and businesses hoping that May can secure a "buffer" between Brexit and beyond so that companies can enjoy current trading terms for a set period.
Still, former U.K. Treasury official Rupert Harrison has a plan to avoid falling off what has become known as the "cliff edge."
Speaking at the Bloomberg Investor Day in London on Monday, Harrison said a "crunch moment" is coming for the government. If it wants a transitional deal, he said, it will need to ask for one before its triggers Article 50 and two years of divorce talks, which it currently plans to do by the end of March.
Waiting until afterwards would cede negotiating power to others in the EU and prompt businesses to begin shifting jobs and operations away from the U.K., he said.
Delay would also increase the likelihood of a so-called "Hard Brexit" in which trade between the U.K. and EU is ultimately subjected to the tariff rules of the World Trade Organization. Some in government may, of course, still prefer that option over longer-term links with the EU.
The U.K. wouldn't be the only beneficiary from a stop-gap deal, according to Harrison, who is now chief macro strategist at BlackRock. No EU member would benefit from having its trade with the U.K. impeded and the region likely would still welcome pounds being paid into its budget and free movement of labor for a little longer.
"There's a lot of mutual gains from a transitional deal which makes it rational," said Harrison. "The question is, can the political process deliver it."
While Europeans have said no to negotiations before the U.K. formally resigns EU membership, Harrison says the British should make a "credible threat" that the offer for a buffer would only be made one time and that once Article 50 was triggered it would be off the table. He said the chances of May adopting such a plan are 50-50.
Pledge to Banks
Other highlights of the Bloomberg Investor Day included a pledge by Trade Minister Greg Hands that the U.K. will work to ensure global banks keep access to the single market.
"There is no doubt that access to EU markets for financial-services firms based in the U.K. will be a key part of future negotiations," Hands said. He wants a deal "that promotes and protects our strongest sectors, such as professional and financial services, automotive and aerospace."
London Mayor Sadiq Khan indicated support for a transitional deal and said he has received private assurances from the government that EU citizens living in the capital will not be compelled to leave the country.
Brexit Bullets
Christmas won't be a holiday from Brexit concerns.
According to commodity research group Mintec, the overall cost of a December 25th meal has risen 1 percent since last year. The price of pudding has surged 21 percent in part because of this year's slide in sterling.
The British Christmas feast is still cheaper than in 2013 or 2015, Mintec said, with the overall cost restrained by falling turkey prices, but boosted by an increase in the average price of pork stuffing, potatoes, onions and parsnips.
For the final course, the price of raisins has jumped because of the falling pound, and the cost of butter is the highest in five years.

Interview of the Vice President by John King, CNN
The Vice President's Residence
8:59 A.M. EDT
Q Mr. Vice President, thank you for your time, a lot of ground to cover so let's get right to it.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Okay, John.
Q The Democrats will put on the floor of the Senate today a proposal -- they don't have the votes -- but they say this administration's policy in Iraq has failed. And the leading Democratic proposal would say, let's have a partial withdrawal -- they call it a redeployment -- and then require the administration to put forward a plan. Now, they say this is not cut and run, it's not retreat, but they say three years and three months later, it is time for the administration to tell the Iraqi government you cannot have this indefinite American security blanket. You need to do a better job of preparing your own people to take over security, what's wrong with that?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, it's wrong in many respects, John. First of all, they're wrong. We are making significant progress. We've had major success on the political front in terms of three national elections last year by the Iraqis. They've stood up a brand new government under a new constitution for the first time ever. We've got a quarter of a million Iraqis now in uniform, equipped, trained, in the fight. So there has been significant progress made with respect to what's going on in Iraq.
What the Democrats are suggesting basically you can call it withdrawal, you can call it redeployment, whatever you want to call it, basically it's -- in effect, validates the terrorist strategy. You got to remember that the Osama bin Laden types, the al Qaeda types, the Zarqawi types that have been active in Iraq are betting that ultimately they can break the United States' will. There's no way they can defeat us militarily. But their whole strategy -- if you look at what bin Laden has been saying for 10 years -- is they believe they can, in fact, force us to quit, that ultimately we'll get tired of the fight, that we don't have the stomach for a long, tough battle, and that we'll pack it in and go home.
If we were to do that, it would be devastating from the standpoint of the global war on terror. It would affect what happens in Afghanistan. It would make it difficult for us to persuade the Iranians to give up their aspirations for nuclear weapons. It would threaten the stability of regimes like Musharraf in Pakistan and the Saudis in Saudi Arabia. It is -- absolutely the worst possible thing we could do at this point would be to validate and encourage the terrorists by doing exactly what they want us to do, which is to leave.
Q You say -- excuse me for interrupting you -- you say validating and encouraging the terrorists, the Democrats say they're tired of validating what they view as a failed policy. And as you know some Democrats want to go even further. Senator Kerry wants to have a complete withdrawal within a year or so.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Right.
Q Jack Murtha, an old friend of yours, with whom you have sparred recently in the House, he says, look, when President Reagan realized the policy in Beirut was failing, he withdrew the troops. Call it cut and run if you will. When President Clinton realized the policy in Somalia was failing, he withdrew the troops. Again, some might say cut and run. He says this war is costing $8 billion a month, $300 million a day, there's no end in sight. And forgive me, but he says, you don't have a plan, so let's not have more kids killed.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: He's wrong. I like Jack Murtha. He's a friend. We did a lot of business together in the past when I was Secretary of Defense and he was chairman of defense appropriations sub-committee. But the instances he cites, Beirut in '83, Somalia in '93 is what bin Laden cited back in 1997 and '98. He made speeches where he, in effect, argued that the Americans didn't have the stomach for a fight, that ultimately the terrorists would win, al Qaeda would win. And he's cited as evidence of that, what happened in Beirut in 1983 and Somalia in 1993. That's my point.
The fact of the matter is that we are in a global conflict. It's not just about Iraq. It's -- we've seen attacks around the world from New York and Washington, all the way around the Jakarta and Indonesia over the course of the last five years. Our strategy that we adopted after 9/11 of progressively going after the terrorists, going after states that sponsor terror, taking the fight to the enemy has been crucial in terms of our being able to defend the United States. I think one of the reasons we have not been struck again in five years -- and nobody can promise we won't -- but it's because we've taken the fight to them.
And if Jack Murtha is successful in persuading the country that somehow we should withdraw now from Iraq, then you have to ask what happens to all of those people who've signed up with the United States, who are on our side in this fight against the radical extremist Islamic types of bin Laden and al Qaeda. What happens to the 12 million Iraqis who went to the polls last December and voted in spite of the assassins and the car bombers? What happens to the quarter of a million Iraqis who've gotten into the fight to take on the terrorists? The worst possible thing we could do is what the Democrats are suggesting. And no matter how you carve it, you can call it anything you want, but basically it is packing it in, going home, persuading and convincing and validating the theory that the Americans don't have the stomach for this fight.
Q Well, you disagree with the Democrats' plan, but they are stepping into a political environment in which the American people -- clearly, some have anger, some have dissatisfaction, some have doubts about this war and the administration's plan for this war. Fifty-four percent of the American people say it's a mistake; 55 percent say things are going badly in Iraq; 53 percent in our polling say the American people actually support a timetable. Why is it that the administration has failed to articulate to the American people then? The American people don't think you have a plan, sir.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, they're wrong. We do have a plan. It's there for anybody who wants to take a look at it. The Democrats have repeatedly made this charge. It's simply not the case. There is a good plan in place. We are making significant progress, but this is a long-term fight. I think there are a lot of people out there --
Q Let me -- let me jump in. One other point here, is it wrong -- you say it's wrong to publicly set a timetable.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Yes.
Q And I understand the argument for that. You'd cue off -- tee the terrorists off to what you're going to do.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Absolutely.
Q Has the Iraqi government been told privately you need to meet certain bench marks, training your troops, improving security by a date certain because the American people are not going to pay for this forever?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I think they know full well that we are expecting them to take on more and more responsibility. It's one of the reasons the President went to Baghdad recently. In all of our conversations with them, they know what we're trying to do, and they've stepped up to that task and that responsibility. The fact of the matter is, obviously, we've lost a lot of people, which you wish you hadn't lost anybody. But the heavy casualties are being taken by the Iraqis. There are a lot more Iraqis being -- becoming casualties in this conflict at present because they are now in the fight.
Again, I come back to the basic proposition: What happens in the global war on terror if the United States bails out in Iraq? And that's exactly what withdrawal is. You're going to take your troops out before the conflict is over with. You're not going to complete the mission -- if we follow the Democrats' advice. And in fact, we will have set up a situation in which the al Qaeda types can win.
They have a plan to establish a caliphate that stretches from Spain all the way around to Indonesia, to kick the Americans out of the Middle East, to destroy Israel, to take down most of those regimes in that part of the world. And they will do anything they can to achieve that objective. But ultimately what they're betting on is that we don't have the stomach for the fight, and we cannot afford to validate that strategy. We can win. We are winning, but we've got to stay at it.
Q In the political debate over the war, even your friends say that you have given the Democrats a couple of doozies by saying early on "we would be greeted as liberators," by saying about a year ago, "the insurgency was in its lasts throes." I know factually you have said you stand by those statements based on the circumstances at the time. You're not new to this game. You've been in national politics for 30 something years. In the political environment, do you wish you could take those words back?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I think that, in fact, we are making very significant progress. There's no doubt in my mind but we're going to win. We will prevail in Iraq. We will prevail in Afghanistan. And I think the evidence is there for anybody who wants to look at it.
With respect to the overall course of the campaign, I think it's been very successful. With respect to this question of liberation, we have, indeed, liberated 50 million people -- 25 million in Afghanistan from the rule of the Taliban; 25 million in Iraq from the rule of Saddam Hussein, two of the worst regimes in modern times, a very, very significant achievement. But we have to stay the course.
It does not make any sense for people to think that somehow we can retreat behind our oceans, leave the Middle East, walk away from Iraq, and we'll be safe and secure here at home. 9/11 put the lie to that. We lost 3,000 people that day. Nineteen people, armed terrorists armed with box cutters came into the United States and did enormous damage to us. If we pull out, they'll follow us. It doesn't matter where we go. This is a global conflict. We've seen them attack in London and Madrid and Casablanca and Istanbul and Mombassa and East Africa. They've been on a global basis involved in this conflict, and it will continue whether we complete the job or not in Iraq. Only it'll get worse. Iraq will become a safe haven for terrorists. They'll use it in order to launch attacks against our friends and allies in that part of the world.
Q You acknowledged this past week that the administration and you personally underestimated the strength of the insurgency.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I --
Q As you know even friends of the administration, supporters of this war have criticized the administration saying not enough troops were sent in at the beginning. You have a unique perspective on it. You were the Defense Secretary in the first Gulf War.
Q You're the Vice President now. In the first Gulf War, it was the Powell Doctrine: If you're going to put U.S. troops at risk, do so in overwhelming numbers with overwhelming force so that there is no doubt. Secretary Rumsfeld prefers the leaner force, a more mobile force. As history looks at this, is one early lesson that the Powell Doctrine trumps the Rumsfeld Doctrine?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I don't think so. I think you've got to look at each individual circumstance and figure out what makes sense in terms of the kinds of forces you need to bring to bear, what your enemy is capable of, what your goals and objectives are. I think you have to be very careful about generalizing from one conflict to the next.
Q I want to move on to some other issues. One of the key issues facing the world right now and the Bush administration is North Korea. It has a missile on the launch pad. Apparently our intelligence suggests it may test that missile any day now. Former Defense Secretary Bill Perry, who served in a Democratic administration, writes an op-ed in today's Washington Post saying, Mr. President, take it out. Launch a military strike, take that missile out. You will destroy not only the missile, he says, but a launch pad that is capable of launching nuclear weapons. Why not?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that -- I appreciate Bill's advice.
Q I bet you do. (Laughter.)
THE VICE PRESIDENT: And I think that at this stage we are addressing the issue in a proper fashion. And I think, obviously, if you're going to launch strikes at another nation, you'd better be prepared to not just fire one shot. And the fact of the matter is I think the issue is being addressed appropriately.
Q Do we know what's on that missile? Is it a satellite? Is it a warhead? Is it a test?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: We don't know. That's -- one of the concerns is that this is a regime that's not transparent, that we believe has developed nuclear weapons, and now has put a missile on a launch pad without telling anybody what it's all about. Is it to put a satellite in orbit or a simple test flight?
They will obviously generate concern on the part of their neighbors and the United States to the extent that they continue to operate this way. As the President has made clear, this is not the kind of behavior we'd like to see, given the fact that the North Koreans do have a nuclear program and have refused to come clean about it.
Q What do we know about their capabilities? Some have said this new longer-range missile could reach Guam, perhaps Alaska. Others say, no, it might be able to reach Los Angeles, and there are some who think maybe even right here, Washington, D.C. What do we know?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, we -- this is the first test of this particular type No Dong II missile. We believe it does have a third stage added to it now, but, again, we don't know what the payload is.
I think it's also fair to say that the North Korean missile capabilities are fairly rudimentary. I mean, they've been building Scuds and so forth over the years, but their test flights in the past haven't been notably successful. But we are watching it with interest and following it very closely.
Q I want to ask a quick question about another international standoff, which is Iran's nuclear program. The President in Europe yesterday said, Iran should hurry up with its response. It shouldn't wait months. It should get an answer in days, or weeks, at the most.
As you consider that confrontation, many experts have said your options are limited because of the way the Iranians have built their nuclear program. Many think that it is invulnerable, if you will, that it is protected from military strikes. I know the President has said, diplomacy first, it would be the Security Council next, if the Iranians don't accept this proposal on the table. But when you look at the contingency planning, are you confident that, if it came to it, the United States has a capable military option of taking out that program?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: As the President has emphasized, John, we are pursuing the diplomatic option. We think that's the right way to go. But he has also made it clear that nothing has been taken off the table, and I'll leave it at that.
Q I want to bring you to some domestic issues here at home. I have spent a fair amount of time in recent months in court with your former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who, of course, is charged in the CIA leak investigation. One of the things that his defense has introduced as evidence is this -- it's a copy of this New York Times article that started all this, by Ambassador Joe Wilson -- and these scribbles are allegedly yours. Is that a fact?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: John, I am not going to comment on the case. It's -- I may be called as a witness. Scooter Libby, obviously, one of the finest men I've ever known -- he's entitled to the presumption of innocence. And I have not made any comments on the case up until now, and I won't.
Q Let me ask you one question, one more question about that then. You said you may be called as a witness. The President urged everyone very early on to cooperate in this investigation, does that mean that if you are called as a witness that the administration would under no circumstances cite any privileges, either to shield you from testifying about certain issues or protect certain documents, or anything?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, you're getting into hypothetical now, and I'm not able to answer that. We have cooperated fully with the investigation from day one.
Q Let me ask you another question. Your daughter recently wrote a book in which she discussed her role in your campaign but, also, her decision, some time ago in her life, to come to you and Mrs. Cheney and disclose that she was a lesbian. And she has issues with the Republican Party on the issue of same sex marriage, and she wrote this, "If the Republican Party fails to come around on this issue -- same-sex marriage -- I believe it will find itself on the wrong side of history, and on a sharp decline into irrelevance."
Do you agree with your daughter Mary on that?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I've got great love and affection for my daughter, obviously. I think it's a very good book, and I'd recommend people read it.
Q I'm going to make another attempt at it. The President urged the Senate to vote on this constitutional amendment. Senator Frist, a leader in the party, someone who may run for the presidency, brought this amendment up, is that a mistake?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I made my views known a long time ago, John, that I think that the fact that the states have traditionally been the ones that regulate marriage is a procedure that I think is the right way to go. I think that it ought to be a state matter, a state function. That's not new to anybody. The President sets policy for the administration, and I support the President.
Q As you know, you had a recent dust-up with Senator Specter, the chairman -- the Republican chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, who wanted to have hearings, wanted to bring the phone companies in to see how and when they had cooperated with this domestic eavesdropping program. And he says you were working behind the scenes, meddling -- in his words -- to try to get other members of the committee to put the lid on that, to not force the phone companies to come up and testify publicly. Did you do that, sir?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I wouldn't call it meddling. I am the President of the Senate. The fact is, I'm actually paid by the Senate. That's where my paycheck comes from. I often talk with my Senate colleagues about legislation, and that's exactly what I did in this case.
Arlen Specter is a good man. I've known him a long time, and I think he is an effective chairman of the committee. But if we disagree, there is absolutely no reason why I shouldn't, on behalf of the administration, express administration policy to the members of that committee. And that's what I did.
Q I want to close by asking you a few question about yourself and your image, and one of them flows from that. As you know, some of your old friends say, where is the Dick Cheney, the sarcastic Dick Cheney, the practical joker Dick Cheney. And your critics say, Dick Cheney has become this dark, nefarious force in the administration that believes in secrecy at all price, that believes congressional oversight is a nuisance. True?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, I don't think I've changed any. I think I have been very consistent over time. I think, partly, it's important to remember how significant 9/11 was. And we are now engaged in a constant effort, obviously, to protect the nation against further attack.
That means we need good intelligence. It means there have to be national security secrets. It means we need to be able to go after and capture or kill those people who are trying to kill Americans. That's not a pleasant business. It's a very serious business. And I suppose people sometimes look at my demeanor and say, well, he's the Darth Vader of the administration.
I guess, the other thing that's working here, John, is I'm not running for anything. My career will end, politically, with this administration. I have the freedom and the luxury, as does the President, of doing what we think is right for the country. And the advice I give and the positions I take on issues are based upon that fundamental proposition.
We're doing what we're doing in Iraq in terms of here in the U.S., with the terrorist surveillance program and so forth, because we think these are essential policies for the nation to follow. We're not trying to improve our standing in the polls. We're not out there trying to win votes for ourselves. Neither one of us will ever be a candidate again. We're doing what we think is right, and I'm very comfortable with that.
Q You're also a human being, though. Your poll ratings are lower than the President's. You have an image that, I think it's fair to say, is not positive with the majority of the American people. That doesn't trouble you at all?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: There is a great sense of freedom when, in fact, you don't have to worry about the polls. We don't worry about the polls. They go up, the polls go down. The fact of the matter is, we're doing what we think is best for the nation. And that's what the American people elected us to do.
I think, ultimately, in the final analysis, the history will judge this President as a very successful, very effective leader, and I'm proud to be part of his team.
Q You are unique in that you're the Vice President, the first Vice President in quite some time, who is not seeking the presidency in a second term. Let's make a little news, do you have a favorite for '08?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: No. Republican. I won't go beyond that. We may get involved eventually, but for now, there are a lot of great candidates thinking about it, and I think it's going to be a wide open race. And I think it's very healthy.
Q Mr. Vice President, thank you for your time.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you, John.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa wrestling team won nine of 10 bouts to defeat Indiana, 38-4, inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday afternoon. The Hawkeyes (10-1, 3-0) scored bonus points in seven wins and won the only match featuring ranked opponents.
Third-ranked Bobby Telford used a four-point move in sudden victory to top seventh-ranked Adam Chalfant, 9-5, at heavyweight.
"Telford knew it was going to be a tough match," said UI associate head coach Terry Brands. "Chalfant is a big strong kid and he is going to come out and fight, and that's what he did. He came out and got that first takedown."
Indiana struck first, in a dual that started at 285 pounds, when Chalfant scored a takedown with 1:36 left in the first period.
Telford escaped in the first, allowed an escape in the second, and took his first lead of the match, 4-3, with a takedown in the third. Chalfant regained the lead with a reversal, but Telford escaped to send the match to overtime tied, 5-5. A takedown and two near-fall points 35 seconds into the sudden victory period ended the bout.
"The thing that is interesting," added Brands, "is maybe that's the thing that is going to get us moving forward, because he had to come from underneath a guy and it proved to himself that he can do the things he was doing last year."
"I'm building right now," said Telford. "I'm building my shape and I'm not where I want to be. I'm building all of my wrestling, but there are times in the match where I'm starting to hit on all cylinders. I'm not there yet. I'm not there at all. I got a little kick-start, a little backfire, so maybe we'll get started here."
The dual was nearly all Iowa after the heavyweight bout. Indiana (7-4, 0-3) forfeited at 125, and the Hawkeyes won three straight by bonus-points to take a 23-0 lead into intermission. Tony Ramos recorded his ninth fall of the season at 133, and Josh Dziewa (141) and Brody Grothus (149) each scored major decisions.
After the break, Indiana's sixth-ranked Taylor Walsh defeated Michael Kelly, 17-6, at 157, but Iowa rattled off four straight victories to close the dual.
Nick Moore (165), Sammy Brooks (184), and Nathan Burak (197) won by major decision, and Mike Evans won, 6-2, at 174. The 38-4 final score was the largest margin of victory in the series since 1976, a 39-2 Iowa win.
"Did you get better? That's always the ultimate takeaway," said Brands. "Are you getting better every match, every minute of every match, and then ultimately every moment of every match…
"Are we getting to where we're supposed to be? Are we hanging in positions? Are we building our leads? Are we getting back in the match when we fall or slip behind? Those are great measuring sticks to how good a team is and how good a team is going to be tomorrow."
Iowa returns to the mat Jan. 18 at No. 8 Nebraska. The dual will be televised on BTN.
"Nebraska is next and we have to be at our best," said Brands. "That's the next thing on our schedule, we have got to put the pedal on the mat and it has to be real. I cannot be a cliché. It has to be real and we have to live it and display in on the mat."
Notes: Attendance was 6,447… Bobby Telford improved to 6-1 this year against ranked opponents… Ramos improved to 32-0 all-time at Carver-Hawkeye Arena… Iowa is 36-4 in individual matches over its last four duals… Michael Kelly made his first appearance at 157 since the opening week of 2011-12.

Facebook Is Fueling The Low-Cost Broadband War With Its Own Satellite, Athena!
Like Internet? Good news! Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) has jumped into the low-cost internet providers bandwagon, and this time, it's taking it out of the world – Literally!
As per a report by Wired, Facebook has filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), dubbed as company name, PointView Tech in order to launch its satellite Athena in early 2019. According to the filing, the social-media behemoth embarks upon, with a goal to "efficiently provide broadband access to unserved and underserved areas throughout the world".
With this, Facebook has quite suitably positioned itself in the ranks of Softbank-funded OneWeb and Elon Musk's Starlink to set up a satellite-based low-cost broadband connectivity project.
The inception of Athena amidst bells-and-whistles comes only after a week of Facebook's declaration to shut down its Aquila project – the drone initiative which aimed at providing Internet access.
Apart from trying hands on Facebook's self-proclaimed, long-overdue commitment to "connect the world," and bringing under-served parts of the globe online is a strategic part of Facebook's business. Apparently, with the user-base of a whopping 2.2 billion, the company keeps brain-storming to find inventive ways to cater to new audiences.
Again, it looks like it's not just Facebook! On Thursday, Google's parent Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Loon unit, which constructs balloons to deliver Internet to the hard-to-reach areas, made it public that it has signed its first commercial deal in Kenya. Reportedly, it will be working with Telkom Kenya to deliver 4G/LTE access to the African nation by 2019.
While Facebook has long expressed its aim of connecting billions of under-served people globally, it has not had much success with two earlier projects.
This first satellite is probably on a trial basis, if not anything else. Facebook's over-due visions, considering all of its previous attempts at these sorts of services not going well, makes this look like no cake-walk. For instance, in June, Facebook announced it's decision to abandon its plan to develop high-flying solar-powered drones called Aquila which was supposed to be the godsend for nearly four billion people in remote areas of the world, who need Internet.
Traversing through the Project slate, it's found that Facebook began Aquila project in 2014. This solar-powered drone successfully completed it's second full-scale test flight in 2017. However, it was brought to a stand-still. Facebook said that since it started working on the Aquila drone in about 4 years ago, it faced numerous incumbents in the competition space. Apparently, a number of aerospace companies began testing high-altitude aircraft with similar visions. Given these proceedings, Yael Maguire, the Director of Engineering at Facebook claimed that, with such congestion in the vision spectrum, it will not design or develop aircraft any longer.
Facebook's previous attempts at providing low-cost internet couldn't enter the success stories of the Social-Media giant. Initiating with the 2013 project Internet.Org and the eventual successor, Free Basics, Facebook has till now collaborate with many service providers to offer free internet access. However, Net Neutrality proponents didn't take in both the offerings on a positive note. They claimed that this created a "two-tiered" internet.
As of now, Athena represents a singular research project. However, if Facebook were to try building an entire network of satellites in the future, it should be prepared to face challenges; and this necessarily doesn't only include incumbents. Take, for instance, Cost -lower orbit satellites necessitate networks of hundreds or thousands of satellites in order to be effective, which spirals up the expense.
Things being what they are now, it'll be interesting to see if Facebook's preferred way to bring internet to the world works well enough or not. Whatever may be the follow-up, this is definitely a kick-off.


P. 7. In the first paragraph under The Antarctica Event, mana-active fallout was scattered over a 3,000-4,000 mile radius.
P. 36. The duration of Awaken Computer/TL is 1 hour.
P. 74. Under Crippling Disadvantages, replace "and it failed!" with "and it critically failed!"


Over the past few years I have worked with the idea of human displacement.
The leaving was completed over a period of twelve months between 2017 and 2018 and represents a stronger, more personal development of my earlier themes.
Working in direct plaster allows for the raw, spontaneous expression of the feelings I want to convey, and hopefully helps to illicit a direct response from the viewer on a visceral level.
The form of the singular, detached human figure, speaks to me, allowing for a connection however fleeting.

Update: Our Partnership with Washington Environmental Council
As many of you know, both Washington Conservation Voters and Washington Environmental Council have been working closely together for years. As both organizations grow, we are working to set ourselves up to continue a strong partnership in the future and are changing our structure to build a team that's prepared for the years ahead.
In the past, both WCV and WEC shared staff across our two organizations, except for our Presidents. To more closely collaborate across our teams, we are dissolving that structure and creating two new positions: a Chief Policy Officer and a Chief Campaigns Officer. Those positions will be filled by our same longtime staff: Lisa Remlinger and Shannon Murphy! Whether you are a WCV or WEC member, or have supported both organizations' work, you may not have met Lisa or Shannon. So we wanted to give you a chance to get to know them better and hear what they will be bringing to their new roles.
Lisa Remlinger is the Chief Policy Officer for Washington Environmental Council and Washington Conservation Voters. Lisa oversees all policy teams including Climate, Forests, and Puget Sound. Some of Lisa's notable work for WEC and WCV includes the creation of our annual Carbon Friendly Forestry Conference, State of Our Public Lands Report Card, and the Nisqually Carbon Project. Lisa has worked for non-profits most of her career because they are her happy place where she feels she can make a difference and work with others who want to do the same. Lisa has a Masters in Environmental Management from Duke University where she published work on public health, conservation, and development collaboration, as well as received a policy fellowship to work with the United Nations Environmental Program in Geneva. When not at work, Lisa is usually with her husband, son, and friends. She has also served on various boards including Wolf Haven International. Always up for a new challenge, Lisa has summited Mt. Rainier, coached long-distance running, swam across Lake Washington, and biked from Vancouver, B.C. to Portland, Oregon.
Shannon is the Chief Campaigns Officer for Washington Conservation Voters and Washington Environmental Council, and oversees the organizations' political/civic engagement, government affairs, and field programs. She has over a decade of electoral and legislative campaign experience and has been with WCV and WEC since 2008, moving into her current position in 2014. Shannon has been a leader in building strategic partnerships with labor, environmental, business, and people of color-led organizations to advance electoral and environmental policy goals, most notably serving on the Governance Board for the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy. In addition, Shannon has helped grow WCV's Political Action Committee (PAC) to one of the largest in the state. Before her current role, she managed WCV's coordinated effort to first elect Governor Jay Inslee in 2012 and WCV's nationally-recognized victory to elect an anti-coal majority to the Whatcom County Council in 2013. Shannon started her career as an organizer and brings that lens to her work today. Shannon has a bachelor's degree from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. Raised in Oregon and now a Washingtonian for over 15 years, she loves the Pacific Northwest and exploring hiking trails with her family – husband Ben, her new baby daughter, and dog, Milo.

Streisand's Stagefright Prompted By Forgotten Lyrics
By WENN on 25 September 2009
Follow Barbra Streisand
Picture: Barbra Streisand Clinton Global Initiative - Day 2 Plenary Session with Al Gore - Harnessing Innovation for Development held at Sheraton Hotel New York...
Barbra Streisand suffered crippling stagefright for 27 years after forgetting the words to a song during a performance in New York's Central Park.
The diva stepped away from the stage shortly after the incident and has only recently rediscovered her confidence again.
And it was one maddening moment that kept her out of the spotlight.
She explains, "In front of 135,000 in Central Park - my free concert in Cental Park - I forgot the words and it sort of triggered this feeling that I would forget the words... I didn't perform again until they discovered teleprompters."
And that became a problem during a 1986 concert: "I was singing America The Beautiful (and) I didn't count on (the fact) the people would stand up in front of the teleprompter."

Q: How to properly create a Typescript NPM package with declarations? I feel like I'm losing my mind over something that should be very simple.
I have some TypeScript files that contain code I'd like to export for an npm package. To facilitate auto-imports from npm packages, the types of all functions/constants etc. have to be specified in index.d.ts (if I understand correctly).
So my question is, if I have multiple different .ts files each with their own functions/constants, how do I create a single .d.ts file that contains the types for all of the functions/constants in all of the files? Without this, I have to manually import the package; with most other libraries, I can just type a function name, for example, and an import will be suggested.

A: We have a few private npm modules we share between node microservices. Recently upgraded them to TS.
I may be way wrong on the why here but this worked for us. The "global.d.ts" files are not included in the compiled file as it is just a reference.
We just created a types folder with an index.ts, put our types in there and imported them into the needed files. Types then get included in the compiled index.d.ts file.
Everything works fine when the package is installed into other TS projects. Was hammering my head on the wall for a whole day too.

Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) is the national institute for health data science.
Our mission is to unite the UK's health data to enable discoveries that improve people's lives.
Our 20-year vision is for large scale data and advanced analytics to benefit every patient interaction, clinical trial, biomedical discovery and enhance public health.
In our first five years we have achieved a huge amount, developing advanced infrastructure, carrying out cutting-edge data science and playing a central role addressing the most pressing health research challenges facing society, including the Covid-19 pandemic. Read about our impact since we were founded in 2018 in our Annual Reports and Establishment Review.
As we move into our second five years 2023-28, we have refreshed our strategy.
Our refreshed strategy draws on our learnings to-date, has been co-created with the HDR UK Community and builds on our progress to accelerate the pace of delivery of our mission.
The strategy focuses on three, integrated areas:
Uniting health data through the delivery of trustworthy infrastructure and services.
Advancing research discoveries through [6] high-impact driver programmes
Promoting partnerships to bring together the health data research sector in the UK and globally
A word from Andrew Morris, HDR UK Director
"Over the past five years, HDR UK has made a substantial impact on health data across the UK and globally, especially in assembling the data architecture and delivering insights that supported the UK and global response to Covid-19.
Our strategy and plans for 2023-28 are ambitious, exciting and will continue to contribute to the UK's role as a global leader in science and innovation."
Our work across these three integrated areas of activity will enable researchers to access data faster, more easily, securely and in a trustworthy way to deliver insights which improve people's lives:
Uniting Health Data
Leadership and co-ordination of infrastructure and services to deliver Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable ("FAIR") health data – building on the convening power of the UK Health Data Research Alliance and further developing the Health Data Research Innovation Gateway.
Advancing Research Discoveries
Supporting discoveries through high impact UK-wide programmes that use advanced analytics and link large scale datasets to address major health and societal challenges, while informing the development of the infrastructure and services.
Promoting Partnerships
Building partnerships with local, national and global organisations, to combine skills, resources, and expertise across academia, NHS, industry, government and to address complex challenges that cannot be solved by one organisation alone.
Find out about our work as the UK's national institute for health data science by reading our Annual Reviews and Financial Statements.
Our mission is to unite the UK's health data to make discoveries that improve people's lives. To achieve this, we are working in partnership with other government funded organisations so that...
Building for Tomorrow: HDRUK Establishment Review


How is it that the kitchen magically turns into a mess the second you enter?
The Golden rule - clean up as you go. Never leave a mess for later.
If you can't HELP, then at least don't create a bigger MESS. Just stay out of my way.
People should be able to come to our house without a warning and it should still look presentable. Running to your room to clean up the minute someone arrives is a sign (of weakness!!) that you lack discipline.
Wow! If only you showed half this enthusiasm in your studies (replace "studies" with "chores" in my version). Your favourite celebrities are not going to help you pass that test (replace "celebrities" with "games" and "pass that test" with "clean up").
Don't. No. Not there. Not there either. STOP YOU USELESS FOOOOOL! Do you know where anything belongs in this house? How will you ever manage on your own?
Don't drag your feet across the floor when you walk. I can hear you approaching from a mile away. Walk like a lady.
One foot in front of the other. How hard can that be. Walk like a LADY. Not like a duck. CAREFUL!!!!
Sit up straight. You're hurting your back. Hush. I don't care that it doesn't hurt now. You will thank me when you're 50.
Stop. Shaking. That. Foot. I. Will. Chop. It. Off.
If you're watching this with me to pass smart comments all the time, don't watch it at all. GO TO YOUR ROOM.
Did you find some gold inside? No, no please continue digging your nose. WHEN will you grow up?
You will learn your lesson when I'm not around to clean up after you. One day you will learn and that day you will also learn to appreciate my value.
So now we all know who is to blame. I fear to think of what will happen when I squeeze a baby out of me some day. That poor, poor kid.
The Husband read my Blaaahg!!

In this article, I ask: Does the effect of wives' work hours on marital dissolution change across marital duration? Using the first two waves of the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH), I find only weak evidence that wives' work hours are associated with higher marital dissolution. The effect, however, is more positive and significant among long-term marriages. In addition, this study also tests whether couples' gender ideology and marital interaction explain this differential effect of wives' work hours. The results suggest that couples' gender ideology does not account for this differential effect of wives' work hours. The more positive effect among long-term marriages, however, is reduced to insignificance as soon as a marital interaction measure is introduced into the model. This study contributes to broader research in two ways. Despite the weak effect of wives' work hours on marital dissolution, the buffering effect of marital duration challenges the prior assumption that the effect of wives' work hours is invariant across marital duration. Second, this study suggests that the more positive effect of wives' work hours on marital dissolution among long-term marriages can be attributed to couples' marital interaction in these marriages becoming more important in mediating the effect of wives' work hours. Given these results, this study suggests that future research should consider the buffering effect of marital duration in understanding the determinants of marital dissolution.

Setting the top 10 research priorities to improve the health of people with Type 2 diabetes: a Diabetes UK–James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership
Finer S., Robb P., Cowan K., Daly A., Shah K., Farmer A.
© 2018 The Authors. Diabetic Medicine published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Diabetes UK. Aims: To describe processes and outcomes of a priority setting partnership to identify the 'top 10 research priorities' in Type 2 diabetes, involving people living with the condition, their carers, and healthcare professionals. Methods: We followed the four-step James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership process which involved: gathering uncertainties using a questionnaire survey distributed to 70 000 people living with Type 2 diabetes and their carers, and healthcare professionals; organizing the uncertainties; interim priority setting by resampling of participants with a second survey; and final priority setting in an independent group of participants, using the nominal group technique. At each step the steering group closely monitored and guided the process. Results: In the first survey, 8227 uncertainties were proposed by 2587 participants, of whom 18% were from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Uncertainties were formatted and collated into 114 indicative questions. A total of 1506 people contributed to a second survey, generating a shortlist of 24 questions equally weighted to the contributions of people living with diabetes and their carers and those of healthcare professionals. In the final step the 'top 10 research priorities' were selected, including questions on cure and reversal, risk identification and prevention, and self-management approaches in Type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: Systematic and transparent methodology was used to identify research priorities in a large and genuine partnership of people with lived and professional experience of Type 2 diabetes. The top 10 questions represent consensus areas of research priority to guide future research, deliver responsive and strategic allocation of research resources, and improve the future health and well-being of people living with, and at risk of, Type 2 diabetes.

MIAMI (AP) — Right-hander Sandy Alcantara pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning in his second career start, Austin Dean drove in a pair of runs and the Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 on Wednesday night.
The Phillies have lost four of five. They remained three games behind Atlanta in the NL East race, after the Braves wasted a 7-1 lead and lost 9-8 earlier Wednesday to the Boston Red Sox.
Jose Bautista had a pinch-hit double and eventually scored on Asdrubal Cabrera's flare into left field in the eighth, but the Phillies mustered nothing else.
Derek Dietrich scored both Miami runs, the first when Dean hit into a fielder's choice in the second, the other on Dean's single to center in the fourth. Both of those runs were charged to Phillies starter Nick Pivetta (7-11), who gave up three hits and two runs in four innings.
Phillies catcher Jorge Alfaro, who had singled twice off Alcantara and had three hits on the night, got plunked in the left arm when a fastball from the Marlins rookie sailed up and in. Alfaro wasn't amused, took a long stare toward Alcantara as he walked to first.
But Alcantara wasn't rattled, and fanned Wilson Ramos on three pitches to end the inning with his 2-0 lead intact. The Marlins let him hit in the bottom of the seventh, then sent him back out for the eighth — pulling him only after the walk to Quinn.
That runner didn't hurt Miami. Santana lined out to second baseman Starlin Castro, Quinn got caught 30 feet off the bag and the Phillies went from having the leadoff runner aboard to having the bases empty with two out.
Lewis Brinson had two hits for the Marlins, continuing his strong return after missing two months with a right hip injury. Brinson was hitting .154 when he got hurt; he's now up to .201, after going 8 for 18 since coming back.
Phillies: 3B Maikel Franco returned to Philadelphia to have his sore right wrist examined by a specialist. Franco is expected to rejoin the team later this week, and didn't play in any of the three games in Miami.

Erica Muhl, dean of the Roski School of Art and Design at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, has denied charges by seven students who dropped out of the school this month in protest. She repudiates the students' claim that the school altered financial offers extended to the students during recruitment (see Entire 2016 MFA Class Drops Out of USC's Roski School of Art and Design).
"We honored in every respect the 2014 offer letters sent to them by the school," she says in a letter posted to the school's website.
She labels the students' claims as "misinformation" and insists that "No changes were made to the program after the students arrived and registered at USC."
The students have said that the school altered financial offers made to them, including reducing the number of teaching assistantships offered; each assistantship included a full tuition scholarship. They have also said that the school reduced the studio visit component of the program and that key faculty for the 2015-16 year had not been announced to the students.
Muhl seems to blame the situation on extra demands by the students:
Our faculty and I worked hard to accommodate every additional request by the students, and took every possible step to address their concerns. In the end, they asked for accommodations that would have meant making exceptions to long-standing university policies and guidelines—policies and guidelines that ensure fair and equal consideration of the needs of all students at USC, including undergraduates, and that the university was unable to alter or suspend. I believed throughout that they understood this, and that even though we were unable to change university policy, we would make sure that they would feel no financial impact.
Muhl concludes the letter by informing the students that their withdrawal will be registered as a two-year leave of absence, during which they are welcome to re-enroll.
