Empire, Faith and War
United Kingdom Punjab Heritage Association
The 'Empire, Faith & War' project and website aims to commemorate the remarkable but largely forgotten contribution and experiences of the Sikhs during World War I. Although accounting for less than 2% of the population of British India at the time, Sikhs made up more than 20% of the British Indian Army at the outbreak of hostilities. There's probably not a single Sikh in the UK who doesn't have a military connection in their family history. It is often because of those links to the armies of the British Raj that many Sikhs now reside in the UK. The Education Zone on the website provides two History schemes of work for Key Stage 2 (Years 5 and 6, ages 7 to 11) and Key Stage 3 (Years 7, 8 and 9, ages 11 to 14) that focus in depth on the experiences and contribution of Sikh soldiers from the Indian subcontinent fighting on behalf of the UK between 1914 and 1918. Other curriculum links to these schemes of work include: the study of Sikhism as a faith or the study of South Asia in Geography. They also link to the requirement for schools to teach British Values particularly 'tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs'. The focus on an aspect of world history (the growth of the British Empire in India, the service of Sikh troops around the world during a global conflict and the migration of Sikhs to Britain afterwards) also supports delivery of the Global Learning Programme.

Problematizing Cyber Warfare
hacking, cyber crime, Palestine, Syria, conflict, Television, media studies, Middle East
The Middle Eastern region is currently implicated in all kinds of wars - conflicts that in some cases have been going on for decades, others more recent; some involving actors across a global geography; some fought with and through the latest military technologies; some with an extraordinary presence in global media; some compromised in larger ideological battles. There are important geopolitical, structural and technological differences in what is happening in Israel/Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Afghanistan for example. But the region's conflicts all undoubtedly bring into focus changing conceptions of war, which the essays in this issue contend with.
First, these wars are neither fought along "traditional" battlefields nor (only) between state actors. Second, the technological advancement of the tools of war (drones, remote-controlled warships, surveillance mechanisms, to name a few) have further blurred where and how war is manifested, even as these take place simultaneously to low-tech means which further bring into question what warfare is constituted of: the control over the flow of foods and medicines, the building of enclosure mechanisms, or the practice of (mostly extra-judicial) "precision targeting." Third, the justification of wars and the stories of their battles, survival, and hardships are part and parcel of an ever-wider media landscape in which these are created, disseminated, and consumed: newspapers, TV channels, mobile phones, and the internet. If there is anything conclusive in the convergence of these changes is that national boundaries and national institutions do not define where war ends or begins. As such one question that emerges is how various technologies transform the spaces, practices, experiences, and representations of war.
Donatella Della Ratta takes as her object of analysis the Syrian village of al Ghouta and traces its development from a politically charged, symbolic site of anti-colonial struggle in the 1920s to its role in the TV series Bab al Hara, to its eventual destruction and use as a battleground between the Syrian army and anti-Assad rebels. She analyzes how space itself becomes cross-referenced, remixed and remanipulated across mediums and technologies, blurring boundaries between fictional and real, between cyber and territorial, between historical and imagined. Al Ghouta is an "expanded place," she argues: an endlessly networked version of an actual physical, territorial site as ithas been destroyed, regenerated, claimed and reclaimed in multiple layers of signification, resulting in new andcontested meanings, realities, and histories.
Technology's role in the expansion of places and meanings of war reverberates in Emily Fekete's piece. Building on the notion of "everywhere war," Fekete looks at Internet uses among various actors. As she touches on examples of viruses, website hacks, vandalism, and disruption of systems, and highlights that these are undertaken for different purposes - legitimizing one's ideological position, recruitment, training, or propaganda - it becomes clear that any definition of cyber warfare is problematic.
Fekete's media-centric analysis is shared with the other three articles. Ruth Tsuria examines on-line English- and Arabic-language news outlets such as Al Jazeera and Jordan's ad-Dustour and their representations of what is a very Western and Orientalist term "Islamophobia." She suggests that as the term circulates and is problematized - linguistically and otherwise - conveying multiple readings and meanings, that a plurality of "Islamophobias" may be a more appropriate term. In the following piece, Attila Kovacs looks at the influence of the Internet on Palestinian Islamist culture, and how new technologies such as websites and Twitter have been used as a vehicle for visual production and dissemination. Finally, Christoph Günther analyzes the Islamic State's English-language magazine, Dabiq. Analyzing the publication's visual and linguistic semantics and presentations, he argues that the magazine's "glossy" look - which helps it reach a global readership - does not compromise the group's ideological intents and worldview. ISIS's use of new media, so to speak, is deployed within the confines of its strict interpretation of Islamic scriptures.
This special issue of CyberOrient engages with the relationships between "cyber" and "real" battlespaces, the mediatization of war, the need to expand our definition of warzones, and the importance of asking who participates in wars, to what ends, using what kinds of technologies, and for what purposes. Taken together, the five essays demonstrate the expansion and blurring of the spaces of war. As importantly, they highlight that even warfare that is "only" fought in the virtual realm is laced with violent intents and real-life repercussions. Not only can we not separate the cyber from the real so neatly, but we must not overlook that no matter how we wish to classify "new" or cyber wars, it is citizens, along with their ways of life and their cultural records, that continue to be by far the largest losers.

Zizernakaberd  (; englische Transkription Tsitsernakaberd, westarmenisch Dsidsernagapert; ) ist ein Denkmalkomplex in Jerewan zum Gedenken der Opfer des Völkermords an den Armeniern 1915. Er befindet sich auf dem gleichnamigen Hügel im westlichen Teil der Hauptstadt Armeniens. Alljährlich am 24. April, dem Völkermordgedenktag, versammeln sich am Denkmal Armenier, um der Opfer des Völkermordes zu gedenken.

Geschichte
Ein halbes Jahrhundert lang wurde der Völkermord an den Armeniern 1915 von den sowjetischen Behörden verschwiegen. Erst die Massenkundgebungen der Bevölkerung Jerewans zum 50. Jahrestag des Völkermordes 1965 veranlassten die Behörden zum Errichten einer Gedenkstätte, ohne den Genozid jedoch damit offiziell anzuerkennen.

Zum Bau des Monumentes wurde der Hügel Zizernakaberd, hoch über dem Hrasdan-Fluss gewählt, mit Blick auf den Ararat. Im März 1965 wurde ein Architekturwettbewerb ausgeschrieben. Von den 78 Projekten wurden vier zur endgültigen Wahl bestimmt. Es siegte das Projekt der armenischen Architekten Saschur Kalaschjan und Arthur Tarchanjan und des Künstlers Hovhannes Chatschatrjan. Die Bauarbeiten dauerten zwei Jahre, von 1966 bis 1968. In den 1990er Jahren entstanden das unterirdische Museum und die Gedenkmauer.

Der Denkmalkomplex
Der Denkmalkomplex besteht aus drei Elementen: einem 44 Meter hohen Obelisken, der als Symbol der Teilung des historischen armenischen Siedlungsgebiets der Länge nach gespalten ist, zwölf Pylonen rings um die ewige Flamme und einer 100 Meter langen Mauer mit den Namen der Städte und Dörfer, in denen die Opfer des Massakers wohnten.

Im Jahr 1995 wurde zum 80. Jahrestag des Genozids das unterirdisch angelegte Museum des Völkermordes an den Armeniern eingeweiht. Nach dem Entwurf der Architekten Saschur Kalaschjan und Ljudmila Mkrtschjan wurde das Gebäude in die Böschung des Hügels eingebaut. Im Museum befindet sich ein Konzertsaal mit 170 Plätzen, der den Namen des armenischen Komponisten Komitas Vardapet trägt.

In der Parkallee wurden Bäume zum Gedenken an die Opfer gepflanzt.

Auf der Rückseite der Gedenkmauer befinden sich Gedenkplatten für Personen, die sich während und nach dem Völkermord für die Opfer eingesetzt haben (u. a. Johannes Lepsius, Franz Werfel, Armin Wegner, Henry Morgenthau, Fridtjof Nansen, Papst Benedikt XV., Jakob Künzler, Bodil Biørn, Hedwig Büll).

Nathan Lyon close to career-best Test summer after maiden five-wicket haul at SCG
By Rob Forsaith
Nathan Lyon is closing in on a career-best home summer, having already ticked off a major milestone during the third trans-Tasman Test.
Lyon snared 5-68 at the SCG on Sunday.
It was his first five-wicket haul at the venue but also his first five-wicket haul against New Zealand.
Australia's most prolific off-spinner has now claimed a five-for against all eight Test teams he has faced.

"I wasn't aware of that. That's quite special but I won't look at those things until I retire," Lyon said.
"I've still got a lot of cricket to give and a lot of cricket to learn about ... I want to try to get better each day."
The tweaker requires four more scalps at the SCG to make it his most prolific home summer ever, surpassing the 25 wickets he snagged from six Tests in 2018-19.
Lyon bowls Blundell through his legs
"I'm very fortunate to be part of the best bowling attack in the world. It's about building pressure from both ends," Lyon said.
"It's going to be a good challenge for us over the next couple of days, it's exciting (aiming to make it five wins from five Tests).
"To go 3-0 up against the No.2 side in the world, it's a big carrot.
"We'll make sure our plans are clear and ready to go for when we have to bowl, whenever that might be."

Citrus cultivation. How to ensure a good flowering and fruit set?
The cultivation of citrus fruits, especially orange, is a great Spanish benchmark, having its main bases in the area of Huelva, Seville and the Valencian Community. There are many scientific studies that show us how to perform adequate plant nutrition to achieve good juice quality, size and number of fruits.
Figure 1. Flowering and fruit setting in citrus.
The flowering and fruit setting phase is critical for many varieties that have production problems. Therefore, the correct application of fertilizers before and during flowering and during fruit set is essential to maintain an adequate number of fruits per tree.
Microelements play an essential role in the flowering of citrus. Among them, and due to their level of consumption, the most important are iron, zinc and manganese. They are related to the setting phase and number of fruits, and their insufficiency in the plant causes physiological disorders and reduces the number of fruits per tree.
Zinc is directly involved in the synthesis of some amino acids, although its most relevant function in plants is the activation of numerous enzymes, highlighting the synthesis of auxins (indolacetic acid). It therefore participates in the production of growth regulators responsible for internode elongation and chloroplast development. Its deficiency significantly reduces growth and productive potential.
Manganese is related to photosynthesis, the efficient use of nitrogen, protein metabolism, and enzyme activation. It acts on the metabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids, phosphorylation reactions and nucleic acid formation (AND and RNA), in addition to intervening in the photolysis of water in photosynthesis, as well as in the synthesis of sucrose in the plant and in the formation protein. Persistent and severe deficiencies of manganese reduce growth and productivity, damaging the general development of plants.
Figure 2. Zinc deficiencies (left) and manganese (right) in citrus leaves.
During the flower formation process, manganese intervenes in pollen germination and pollen tube growth, while zinc favors pollen formation and viability. Thus, it is essential to maintain adequate nutrition of these two nutrients to ensure adequate and viable flowering to obtain a sufficient and quality harvest.
The fruit set and initial development of the fruit depends, among other factors, on the effects of competition established between the number of flowers in development. In most of the cultivated varieties, the curd deficit only occurs when the plant blooms a lot, but it is also possible to find reduced harvests when the plant blooms very little. In the first case, it is unable to nourish all the ovaries that initiate development and most of these detach from the tree, significantly reducing the harvest. In the second, the reduction in the number of flowers is always related to a very high number of fruits harvested (alternation of harvests) (Moss, 1971); the action of these can be through a nutritional effect, reducing the accumulation of reserves prior to floral differentiation, or through an inhibition of flowering caused by the synthesis of gibberellins that takes place in the fruits (Bellato et al., 1998).
The problem caused by excess flowers is much more frequent. This occurs as a consequence of reduced harvests. The absence of fruits is the cause of a lack of control of flowering, and the excess of flowers translates into a reduction in the harvest that restarts the cycle. In these cases, the intensity of competition between developing flowers is responsible for the decrease in the number of those that started development, as well as for the reduced final size of the fruit.
This effect of flowering intensity on fruit set is general for all species and varieties and for all climatic conditions. Experiments carried out with the Tangor 'Ellendale' in Spain and Uruguay, in coordination, indicate a decrease in the percentage of curdled flowers as the flowering is more intense (Gravina et al., 1996), regardless of the cultivation area.
To avoid reaching flowering intensities so high that they compromise fruit set and significantly reduce the harvest, hormonal treatments based on the application of gibberellic acid (as a factor of inhibition of flowering) are carried out (Agustí, M. et al., 2003 ), or of some type of biostimulants that provide the plant with metabolites capable of activating the synthesis of promoter and inhibitor factors in sufficient equilibrium to carry out a good flowering and a good fruit set.
From the Cultifort Technical Department we want to offer a recommendation to help meet the nutritional and metabolic needs required during the flowering and fruit set of citrus.
Manzifort
It is a liquid formulation with a high richness in zinc (8.7% w / v) and manganese (10.2% w / v) chelated with EDTA, polycarboxylic acids (2.9% w / v) and reducing sugars * (2.9% w / v).
It is recommended to apply it during spring and summer sprouting or during the last weeks of ripening to accentuate the color of the fruits.
Product certified for use in organic farming (CAAE).
BVC 2021
Liquid biostimulant for foliar application and highly synergistic between amino acids (2.4% w / v) and alginic complex in emulsion (24% w / v), with nitrogen (12% w / v) (ureic, ammoniacal, nitric and organic), potassium (1.2% w / v) and reducing sugars * (12% w / v).
BVC 2021 favors the synthesis of proteins and carbohydrates and promotes the start of the plant's physiological activity, controls problems of alternation of production, improves the quality of the fruits and advances ripening. The alginic complex in emulsion included in its formula, contains mineral salts, vitamins, essential oils, proteins and natural phytohormones (cytokinins, auxins and gibberellins), in addition to other compounds such as betaines, polyamines and oligosaccharides, which increase the resistance of the plant against low temperatures and adverse weather conditions. Likewise, BVC 2021 acts on apical dominance, exerts a multifactorial control on flowering, delays foliar senescence, participates in the fruit ripening process and can influence their coloration due to their carotenoid content.
*Reducing sugars act as a respiratory substrate, providing energy and facilitating the assimilation of nutrients by the plant.

Senator Scott Ludlam visits PAX Aus, asks for help to kill govt data retention plans
By Terence Huynh on November 2, 2014
With only 24 hours notice, the Greens Senator for Western Australia Scott Ludlam made an appearance at PAX Australia yesterday night. Holding a presentation and Q&A session at the Diversity Lounge, Senator Ludlam issued a call to arms and asked gamers to get involved in their campaign to stop the Abbott Government's plans for data retention. Ludlam says that their main goal is to pressure the 25 Labor senators to […]
Dispatch: Oppo's Australian launch
By Chris Southcott on September 4, 2014
Before this week I'd barely heard of Oppo, to be perfectly honest. Sure, I'd seen a few YouTube videos regarding their flagship phone (MKBHD's video on the Find 7 springs to mind), and I'd read brief snippets of info from other tech blogs, but I'd never actually endeavoured to find out more about the Chinese electronics manufacturer. Apparently I wasn't alone though, and to my surprise on Tuesday I attended an early morning event, or soft-launch as […]

Hands on with the Moto E – Motorola's newest smartphone
By Terence Huynh on May 16, 2014
I'm sitting in a little Italian café just outside the Rialto South Tower, having an informal meeting with a Motorola Mobility representative named John. He tells a waitress his order before asking me if I would like something. I politely decline, instead opting to drink the free water. I already had a cup of coffee beforehand. Having a one-on-one meeting with a company representative is very rare. Companies prefer to hold media briefings […]
On Location: Huawei Ascend G6 Australian launch
By Chris Southcott on May 8, 2014
It was a little hard to ignore the audible disappointment at Huawei's Australian launch of the Ascend G6. Despite overnight news in Paris of the Ascend P7, a more high-end, 5-inch phone from Huawei, today a small gathering of Australian's tech media were instead shown the Ascend G6, a phone originally exhibited in February at MWC. Though despite the unfortunate scheduling, the phone Huawei Australia flaunted today, while sort-of old news, was […]

Michael Spyres and Il pomo d'oro: Tenore Assoluto
Il pomo doro (photo: Julien Mignot)
The name says it all: when the ensemble Il pomo d'oro was founded ten years ago, it named itself after a sensational Baroque opera by Antonio Cesti. Since then, musical theatre of the 17th and 18th centuries has been the focus of Il pomo d'oro, which the press describes as "perhaps the most exciting Baroque team at the moment" thanks to its lively, spirited music-making. In a concert entitled Tenore Assoluto, the ensemble and singer Michael Spyres present virtuoso tenor arias from hit operas by George Frideric Handel, Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Adolph Hasse and others.

Each year at UNE, countless students are affected by the flu which has a direct impact on the many aspects of life on campus, not just academic.
To combat this, in 2019 UNE is providing flu vaccinations to UNE students, completely free.
If you've never had a flu vaccination before, simply bring along the completed form below and the nurses on-site will check that you'll be fine to proceed.
If you have had a vaccination, it's a very simple and quick process – just turn up and roll up your sleeve!
The Medical Centre have asked all students to be mindful of what they wear on the day of their vaccination. Please wear shirts or tops that can be easily slid up at the top of the arm, as this will assist with a quick turnaround, loose fitting garments and t-shirts are the best option.
Vaccines covered by the National Immunisation Program are free for people who are eligible. See the NIP Schedule to find out which vaccines you or your family are eligible to receive. Eligible people get the vaccine for free, but your health care provider (for example, your doctor) may charge a consultation fee for the visit. You can check this when you make your appointment.


The year 2018 ended with a slight increase in inflation rate to 9.4% for the month of December compared with 9.3% in November 2018.
The monthly change rate in December 2018 was 1.1 per cent as against 0.7 per cent in November 2018.
According to the Acting Government Statistician, David Kombat, the slight hike in inflation for December can be attributed to the marginal hike in transport fares and spare parts.
"If you look at the Upper West Region, for example, we see that consistently when there is a change in fuel price or not, the inflation rate for transport is always the cause of the increase in their rates. The cost of Spare parts has also had a trickling down effect on the overall year – on – year inflation rate," he stated.
The price drivers for the food inflation rate were Coffee, tea and cocoa (13.5 per cent), Fruits (11.4 per cent), Meat products (10.9 per cent) and Mineral water, soft drinks, fruit and vegetable juices (9.2 per cent).
Meanwhile, five regions (Upper West, Being Ahafo, Western, Ashanti and Northern) recorded inflation rates above the national average of 9.4 per cent.
The Upper West region recorded the highest year-on-year inflation rate of 11.4%, followed by the Brong Ahafo region, while the Upper East region recorded the lowest year-on-year inflation rate of 7.5% in December 2018.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change over time in the general price level of goods and services that households acquire for the purpose of consumption with reference to the price level in 2012.
It is measured in two ways which include annual and monthly. Monthly change rate measures the change in the average price level between the current month and the previous month whiles the annual rate is the measure of a twelve month period.


Poway, CA-based PureForge has introduced a new motorcycle braking system that it says will stop a motorcycle much more quickly than other leading braking systems.
It's technology lies in treating the brake rotors to eliminate wear.
PureForge Atomic-Forged brake systems have been specifically engineered to eliminate wear. The surface of the rotors undergo a complex metallurgical process protected by multiple patents and patents pending. By modifying the surface of 420 stainless steel brake rotor at the molecular level, the end result is a multi-layer, ultra-dense exotic metal matrix that is forged directly into the surface of the rotor.
PureForge adds its own grooves into the brake rotor to create a fitting into the brake pads. Because the rotor doesn't wear, the brake pads grip the rotor as if they were brand new.

Let's Talk: BBC Stardust Radio Drama
Hello, all and happy 2017!
Neil Gaiman's Stardust is one movie that I can watch over and over again and not get sick of. The movie perfectly brings to life the journey of a lovelorn boy named Tristan from a little English town called Wall, tasked with crossing the border into the magical land of Stormhold to retrieve a fallen star in order to prove his love for the fair Victoria. When he finally reaches the crash site, he's shocked to find out that it wasn't a meteorite that fell, but an actual woman named Yvaine. While Tristan is trying to get a not so enthused Yvaine back to Wall, they also have to dodge a witch who's pursuing Yvaine with the intent of cutting out and eating her heart so she can be young and beautiful again, and a group of ruthless princes seeking the gem she wears that would make them king.
Along the way, Tristan and Yvaine grow to care for and depend on one another, and Tristan, who has always felt a bit out of place in stuffy old Wall, feels right at home in this land of magic and amongst the stars.
Over the holidays, BBC Radio produced a radio drama of Stardust featuring Matthew Beard as Tristan and Sophie Rundle as Yvaine. They had previously done a bang up job bringing another Gaiman story, Neverwhere, to life back in 2013 and no surprise that this one was just as wonderful. It's such a nice throw back to when families used to crowd around their radio sets, listening to the latest tales of the day. It's a whole different aspect of imagination, hearing the story just flow over you in such a way.
The two part special is now available for streaming on the BBC Radio site (here), but unfortunately, it does expire at the end of the month (Part 1 on Jan. 23 and Part 2 on Jan. 24), so if you're a fan of the novel or the movie or just a fan of Neil Gaiman, definitely check it out!

By Anne Ursu
Walden Pond Press, 2012
Awards/recognitions: *Junior Library Guild Selection 2012
My middle daughter always preferred boys as friends, especially in elementary school. She could hold her own on any playing field and had no patience for the intricate girl hierarchy at school.
Breadcrumbs would have been a comfort to her. It's the perfect book for any strong girl who has grown up with boys as favorite playmates and best friends. Friendships across gender lines can be tricky, though, especially as we enter our teens. How do friendships endure as the gender lines are drawn? Personalities change, and so do loyalties. So often, it feels like one of the parties has been whisked off to a new and heartless place. In Breadcrumbs, that's exactly what happens.
It's no secret that I admire magical stories, so I was already inclined to love this one. It unabashedly references lots of works that fantasy fans will recognize: The Golden Compass, Harry Potter,The Swiftly Tilting Planet. But what sets Breadcrumbs apart even more is that Ursu lets us spend plenty of time in the utterly ordinary, soul-sucking world of preteens, where the real monsters live, as we all know. It's a world of dull school drills, hurtful boys, and unspoken grief – and Ursu captures it so delicately and respectfully that I almost didn't care about the fantasy adventure that would come later. Still when it's time to build a new world of ice and numbness, she does it flawlessly.
There's no turning back time on growing up, of course. There's no way to spare any of us the sting of change. But in Anne Ursu's story, we see both the beauty of loyalty and hope for new things to come. MM

EXCLUSIVE: YE PLANNED TO MEET PUTIN IN RUSSIA TO DISCUSS RELEASE OF BRITTNEY GRINER
| By Shane Cashman
Sources close to Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, tell Timcast that the potential Republican presidential candidate was in talks to meet with President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Dec. 15, 2022.
Those involved with Ye said that the world leader and likely candidate were set to discuss a range of issues, but most pertinent to the conversation would have been the release of Brittney Griner—the American citizen and WNBA athlete, who was, up until today, imprisoned in Russia for the possession of cannabis.
Now that Griner has been released due to a prisoner trade between the United States and Russia, the meeting between Ye and Putin is no longer happening. Sources close to the planning told Timcast that Russian officials are in receipt of the following letter and were expecting Ye's arrival.
These sources added that when Ye and Nick Fuentes first met three weeks ago, a conversation was had about normalizing the United States' relationship with Russia, North Korea, and Iran—while also thinking about contrasting himself from the totalitarian nature of these regimes. Allies had begun arranging these discussions with Russian officials weeks prior to today.
Ye was prepared to do this trip, the sources claim, as stated in the signed document included in this article. The sources also believe that the Russian government may have been working through multiple American channels, and are considering whether or not it is possible the Russian government was attempting to embarrass the Biden administration by working with Ye.
Ye was not being paid by anyone, including Griner's family, to have these conversations with Putin — according to those with knowledge of the alleged discussions.
Those close to the artist and mogul explained that Ye is inspired by some of the efforts made by former President Trump in touting diplomacy in areas of the world that are otherwise in peril. Before his ban from Twitter, Ye tweeted his support of the protests in Iran.
Other sources close to Ye's possible presidential bid told Timcast: "What's happening in Ukraine is not good for the world." They also shared that it was around the same time that Ye and Fuentes first started discussing relationships with Russia that Ye had received a call from Wack 100, a hip-hop record label executive, who expressed his own concern over the Griner situation.
According to these sources, Wack had been talking to Russian officials with the help of nonprofits in an attempt to gain Griner freedom. In these discussions, Ye's name was brought up, and the officials began to take the conversation more seriously. Supposedly, when Wack 100 brought this to Ye, the musician was immediately interested and offered to help. They told Timcast that Ye expressed he believed helping to free Griner was consistent with his policies.
They told Timcast that Ye is interested in de-escalation and wants to find a path forward to peace, pinning him against the neo-conservatives in the Republican Party.
"He is currently having various conversations with many political commentators to help inform his domestic and international policies," one of the sources said. "We're not just sitting around talking about ballot harvesting and caucuses, we are focused on how to help shape America's stance in the world."
That said, Ye is still interested in helping to secure the release of any American citizen currently imprisoned abroad. These sources added that Ye is having policy discussions about both domestic and international efforts.
"We're open to anything about freeing all Americans everywhere," a person involved with exploring a campaign told Timcast when asked if Ye would consider still making the trip to discuss former United States Marine Paul Whelan, who remains imprisoned in Russia.
Those close to Ye also told Timcast that there was a dispute amongst Ye, Fuentes, and Karen Giorno over whether or not Ye should tweet positively about US relations with Russia in the weeks leading up to the possible meeting in Moscow.
Giorno, the sources claimed, pushed back against Ye because they said she believes "Putin is a war criminal as defined by the state department."
Fuentes told Timcast, "Ye is pro Putin. He is very interested in Eastern Orthodox Christianity… Ye's intuition is correct, we want peace. We do not want war. He wants world peace."
EDITORS NOTE: Following the publication of this article, Giorno reached out to Timcast and denied saying that "Putin is a war criminal as defined by the state department" on the phone call. Another person on the call said that Giorno "cautioned against rushing into meeting the Russian president" but said she never used those words.

Award-winning journalist, historian, producer, and publisher, Janus Adams is the author of eleven books and creator of the groundbreaking BackPax children's book-and-audio series. A scholar of African American and women's history, Adams specializes in putting current events into historical perspective. Her syndicated column appears under her own byline.
BB: You are an Emmy Award-winning journalist, historian, author, producer, publisher, and non-profit founder. You're also a classically-trained pianist! Do you have a favorite hat? What advice do you have for young people who have multiple passions and are struggling to find careers that incorporate and cultivate them all. What about those of us who don't know?
JA: I started playing the piano at age 3 and began life thinking I would be a musician. Ultimately, I turned to writing and journalism, but the discipline of practicing up to six hours a day by the time I was in graduate school powered everything else. As for a "favorite hat," I love the art and craft of communicating ideas and information – by any means necessary. I have degrees in music, theatre, and history. And if you listen to my BackPax children's CDs or attend my "Glory Days: In Concert," you'll find it all there. So, my advice would be the usual: do what you love and put in the time to do it well. Nothing is ever wasted.
BB: Not only have you divided your energy between different pursuits, you've also split your focus between different generations. What prompted you to form BackPax and write your "What Do We Tell Our Children" essays?
JA: Never underestimate necessity as the mother of invention and invention as the necessity of mothers.
I founded BackPax – publisher of children's books, audios, and games – in answer to the needs of my twin daughters and their peers for non-racist, gender-inclusive materials. I used my training as a broadcast journalist to produce the first audios (on location throughout the Americas) for what I thought would be a radio series. The response of teachers and parents eager for the tapes led me to form the company.
My "What Do We Tell Our Children?" essays were inspired by letters from readers of my column and at signings for my Glory Days books. Now, the response to those essays has inspired the launch (March 2010) of my "What Do We Tell Our Children?" campaign to "parents, educators, and other concerned adults."
BB: At 8 you were one of four children selected to pioneer the desegregation of New York schools in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education. Did you understand the importance of what you were doing at age 8?
JA: We were quite aware. This was a national story made local. With the violence of segregation threatening every African American, North and South; we saw Brown, too, as affecting us all. With New York City among the first major northern school districts to test desegregation of the elementary grades, we left our all-Black school to take our place in an all-White school just weeks after Rosa Parks kept her historic seat launching the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
With White parents and teachers openly hostile, our families, neighbors, churches, former schoolmates rallied to our support and our parents armored us for the battle as best they could. One parent spat at me and tore my dress. An exception to the terror, one teacher, Mrs. Rose Zir, stood out for her sheer human decency. I also got to meet Dr. King when I was ten. He asked what I was doing for "our people." I told him about the four of us and our school. He hugged me and said that what we were doing was "important." That one gesture from him helped cleanse the wounds.
BB: What would you identify as the most formative experience in terms of your association with journalism?
JA: I was fortunate in the midst of misfortune. In my first full-time job in television, I was working at Metromedia Channel 5 (now Fox News) when a union strike dragged on for twenty weeks. With our crews on the picket line, non-technical production staffers had to take on assignments beyond our job descriptions. In my case, as production assistant I ended up as the show's principle writer. That was the turning point for me. Years later, I helped pioneer feminist programming. My shows – excerpted and aired on NPR – brought me to their news director's attention and I became NPR's first National Arts Correspondent.
BB: You've been involved in media for a long time—what are some of the changes you've observed take place?
JA: What the union was fighting in that 20-week strike I mentioned was the future: robotics. You go into television stations across the country today and what IATSE feared has come to pass: tech crews have been replaced by robotic cameras and reporters with minicams. My entry-level position as a production assistant is done by unpaid interns. The story isn't new. The erosion of media jobs has been going on for quite some time, but now it's affecting once-untouchable major media executives and frontline talent. For newspapers, the biggest story is reporting their own demise.
BB: Have you experienced any sexism in your career?
JA: I left television because of sexism. After that strike and the awards garnered by our show, I was promoted to management where my new boss explained that my responsibilities included being chased around the desk and getting caught. Sexual harassment wasn't a term then. There was no one to talk to and nowhere to file a grievance. You got along by going along or you left; I left. This wasn't about television; this was about abuses of power when sexism and racism hold sway. But, if this was going on behind the camera, how well do we think the news covered racism and sexism in other workplaces?
BB: On the OpEd Project website we have a page titled "Arguments That Changed the World," that includes "If Men Could Menstruate" by Gloria Steinem, and Martin Luther King's "Letter From a Birmingham Jail." What are a few articles you would select for this page as examples of extraordinary and influential argumentation?
JA: I love the essays Toni Morrison has written over the years for The New York Times. Particularly powerful is her "What the Black Woman Thinks of Women's Lib" (1971), and, of course, her Nobel Prize acceptance speech on the power of language. I'd also include Alice Walker's "In Search of our Mother's Gardens," the original and revived "This I Believe" radio series, and almost any essay by James Baldwin, a master of the form.
BB: This is a very uncertain time to be embarking on a career in journalism—as people rely more and more on the internet for their news, we hear about the declining circulation rates of national and local newspapers; more than a few have gone under completely. And yet many seem to think that journalism does have a future, that it's just undergoing a radical transformation. What do you think? What future do you see for journalism? For people who want to make a living doing it?
JA: Journalism will always exist because people will always want to know what's going on. The real issue is: "it's the econom(ics) stupid." The radical transformation that's about to happen on the internet is awaiting someone powerful enough to break the unsustainable luxury of "free." It's already happening – e.g. the Wall Street Journal started charging for its core content two years ago. The challenge will be to find a balance between "free" and the free-flow of ideas; maintaining good business (business as a source of employment) and good access to information. In the wrong hands, one danger of monetizing the internet would be a cable television model. Societally, were already being steered to rely on the internet for everything. When that transition is complete, we're in danger of a financial model that will emulate our cable TV scenario where even free channels must be viewed via cable, the cost for which is skyrocketing. We could be forced to pay for everything via escalating modem and wi-fi fees with premium pay-per-use services.
BB: Who is the thought leader that stands out in your mind? Historical or current? Who most influenced you?
JA: My grandfather: William Landsmark, an AfriCaribbean immigrant. When his children were young, he began a Sunday ritual of roasting peanuts and reading to them from the New York Times. "Now the politicians say this, but you have to learn to read between the lines" he'd tell his daughters aged ages 6, 5, and 3. When my cousin and I came along, he was never without two newspapers – the Times and Muhammad Speaks – and other insights on the state of the world. My father died when I was young, so I'd put my grandmother, Myra Landsmark, and my mother, Muriel Landsmark Tuitt, a phenomenal educator, next. And, for his sense of the world, my former husband, musician Max Roach, is up there too. I don't do this for sentimentality sake; it's my truth. When I published "Peanuts and the Sunday News," a story about my grandfather's love of reading, it was picked up for a standardized test and has since gone on to inspire children the world over.
BB: What is the one thing that helped you to get where you are that you didn't expect?
JA: Growing up, I thought a career was about making a living. Now, I know it's about making a life. Racism and sexism can detract us or power our climb. I've been excluded by White women because I was Black. I've been excluded by Black men because I was a woman. I've been denied my rights by an "officer of the court" for looking "not too bad off." Then I came upon a book of African American women's history with a title that put all that nonsense into perspective: All the Women are White, All the Blacks are Men, But Some of Us are Brave. When I can't be brave, or forget how, I "whistle a happy tune" and put on something outrageously red.

The 'Golden Age' in the Russian Literary Context: Origin and Modern Content of the Mythical Image
The image of the Russian 'golden age' (the Pushkin era) is considered in the context of the general patterns of nostalgic mythmaking. It is shown that the idealization of the national past at different historical stages remains isomorphic to the generalized image of Antiquity, which is a contamination of the 'golden age' and the 'century of heroes'. The literary criticism of the late Soviet nostalgia for the Pushkin era is an example of the combination of the 'golden' and 'heroic' centuries under the name of 'golden'.

The Roman Empire in the Lyric Poetry of the Late Soviet Period (Jaаn Kaplinski and David Samoilov)
In the present paper the extent of allusions to topics in the history of Ancient Rome is assessed within the officially accepted Soviet literature. Different instances of interest towards the Roman antiquity among the poets of the second half of the ХХ century are classified and accounted for. The social and literary context of Rome-inspired Jaаn Kaplinski's ( Vercingetorix, 1967) and David Samoilov's ( Remus and Romulus, 1969) lyric poetry is assessed, as well as their relationship with the Classical subject matter and the 19th century civil poetry.

«Odyssey's Return» and «Prodigal Son» by N. Gumilev as a Poetic Dilogy
The article considers the formation of the Acmeist concept of creativity under the influence of the interaction of antique and Christian traditions on the material of two of N. S. Gumilev's poems. These traditions have been poetically personified in the reconstruction of the return myths most renowned in the world culture.

De-constructing the failed coup in Turkey- Saker and Pepe.
So what's the CIA been up to?
Needless to add Ankara and Washington are now on a certified collision course. If there is an Empire of Chaos hidden hand in the coup – no smoking gun yet — that certainly comes from the Beltway neocon/CIA axis, not the lame duck Obama administration. For the moment Erdogan's leverage only amounts to access to Incirlik. But his paranoia is ballooning; for him Washington is doubly suspicious because they harbor Gulen and support the YPG.
So what about Europe? Yildirim already said that Turkey might reinstate the death penalty – to be applied to the coup plotters. This means, in essence, bye bye EU. And bye bye to the European Parliament approving visa-free travel for Turks visiting Europe. Erdogan after all already got what he wanted from chancellor Merkel; those 6 billion euros to contain the refugee crisis that he essentially unleashed. Merkel bet the farm on Erdogan. Now she's talking to herself – while the Sultan is able to dial God on Face Time.


Update your UEFI Firmware under Linux can be a little challenge. This article provides information regarding the Thinkpad T450s and the recent UEFI version 1.21.
Important: I am not responsible for any hardware defects – using this information is your own risk.
After you downloaded everything necessary make at first the geteltorito script executable.
Then use geteltorito to extract the content from the .iso file.
Then mount the new generated bios.iso file.
Copy the necessary files from the mounted bios.iso in your UEFI partition.
After that your system is prepared to flash the actual firmware. Boot from your Arch Linux USB-Stick and choose the boot option "UEFI Shell x86_64 v2".
Once you are in the UEFI Shell change to the appropriate EFI partition. In my case it was fs1.
Wait until the Main Menu appears and select number 2 to update the system program.
Now your machine will flash the firmware. After a reboot you will also see a progress bar.
Wait until the flash process is finished.
Congratulations, your system should be up to date.

Dylan Bundy just delivered the worst pitching performance in MLB history
Coleman Bentley
Icon Sportswire
We're not here to pick on anybody. We have Orioles fans on staff and we definitely understand what it's like to have a bad day at the office. That said, we have to call a matzo ball a matzo ball, and this is one big matzo ball: Dylan Bundy's performance in last night's 15-7 drubbing by the equally lowly Royals was the worst by a starting pitcher in MLB history. Full stop. On 28 pitches, Bundy gave up a single, two walks, FOUR dingers, and seven runs all without recording an out. If you're wondering what that looks like on paper, well, here you go. We hope you have strong stomach:
https://twitter.com/CespedesBBQ/status/993996007691169793
Even worse is how it played out in actual, horrible life. Rated NC-17 for graphic emotional violence.
https://twitter.com/MLB/status/994000104552988672
By the time Bundy was yanked in the middle of the TOP of the first, he had become the first major league pitcher to ever give up four home runs without recording an out, which is obviously a record you'd rather not put your ol' John Hancock on. That said, there were some [very faint] silver linings for Bundy:
1.) Once Bundy was pulled, the Orioles gave up three more runs in the inning. Now, losing 10-0 in the middle of the first is worse than losing 7-0, but at least Bundy got an immediate reminder that he isn't the only Oriole who sucks (though, how much evidence do you need, really?)
2.) Technically his Game Score was only the second worst since WWII.

Hi crafters! I am back today on the Tutti Designs blog sharing a card perfect for Valentines using Heart Garden.
I used some teal and red paper to make a perfect Valentine card.
Lovely Heart Bouquet for Valentines Day.
Today is Lovely Heart Bouquet, TUTTI-207.
Colour all the hearts red.
Colour the rest Green. Then with a mat and ball tool give the Bouquet some shape.
Then ink up a Prima text stamp and stamp onto the Bouquet.
Make up the card with Valentines paper from Pion and a sentiment.
but these dies can certainly be used for any wedding project.
Valentines Day is a 2 short months away and these dies give you so many possibilities for any occasion, weddings and more. I simply added cut 2 die cuts. one from foil and one from white cardstock. I die cut the Flowery Heart from Glitter paper, adhered them to a white background. It almost looks like a doily.
You can add your die cut sentiment to the front and to the inside.
Autumn with you today to share a fun wintry mixed media project, featuring two of our newest dies, Hello and Nesting Stitched Squares. I used the square die to create a Polaroid frame to highlight portions of the stamping on my card.
For those of you who are new to mixed media, let me share a very fun watercolor technique you can start with. I started by embossing my stamped image, using the Stitched Square die as a guide for placement of my snowflakes.
Next I used my acrylic stamping block to create an ink bath to stamp with. Simply, tap your block with Distress Ink and give a spritz of water. Most importantly, use a paintbrush to swirl the ink around. With the ink left on the brush, flick your paper and create more complexity.
Stamp the ink repeatedly until it is all removed from the block. You get an idea of placement because of the clear block.
Heat set lightly to dry and continue with additional colors, as desired. The embossing will pop through the watercolor background, creating a beautiful effect.
To create the Polaroid frame, I simply cut a rectangle and used the Stitched Square die to cut out the center. I layered with a scrap of cheese cloth and added beads and sequins for drama.
Grab your Hello Die Set today HERE!
Tutti Designs dies, Swirly Hugs and Heart Garden. I just love the Tutti Designs new swirly word dies and gorgeous heart dies in the October and November new releases.
I cut one Heart Garden die with gold metallic card stock and the other with white card stock.
I colored the white die cut with Copic markers and added pink glitter glue to the hearts and 3mm flat back pearls to the center of the flowers.
I cut a sample and outlined the butterflies in red for you that will be cut out from the gold metallic card stock and glued to the heart. I added a yellow and white plaid scalloped heart behind the Heart Garden die cut to make this Heart Garden die cut stand out.
I cut the Swirling Hugs with gold card stock and cut part of the swirls to fit this on the card. I embossed the white/gold shimmer card stock and added a square frame around the card.
You'll want to be sure to pop over to the Tutti Designs Store and check out all the new November beautiful dies. You can order these gorgeous dies from Tutti Designs on-line store or the wonderful stores and companies that carries Tutti Designs dies.
which you can find right HERE.
Christmas is over but as you can see this isn't really a Christmas tree.
It's perfect for a masculine Winter card!
I began with a black cardstock base.
I cut the deer designer paper to size, and die-cut the tree from the center.
Then I die-cut another tree from green cardstock.
I simply adhered the green tree into the die-cut opening.
The black behind the green displays all the detail beautifully!
and a green cord bow.
It would be lovely for any man having a Winter birthday!
Darlene with you today and it's my turn to share a new, inspirational creation using dies from the Tutti Designs Store. Tutti has released so many amazing dies recently but I decided to create today's card using a die from an earlier release.
When is a better time to use your metallic and foil papers then now at the holidays!
This fabulous die is so intricate and beautiful that I simply die cut from gold foil paper, positioned over a die cut oval matted in red and place on a decorate holiday design paper. A touch of red Stickles on the berries gave me that holiday sparkle finishing touch.
Quick ... easy ... and just perfect!
Today's I've appropriately used the Tutti Designs 'MERRY & BRIGHT' die - #TUTTI-128.
die but in a different color scheme ... what do you think?
to give it a more 'finished' look?
I'll be back again next Sunday with a new Tutti Designs project.
a MERRY & BRIGHT holiday season!
Hi all you love birds! Team member Simply Monica here to share some love using "Love Butterfly Duo" TUTTI-203. This gorgeous die has 2 intertwined butterflies surrounded by hearts.
First I traced the outline of the die to serves as a background for the die-cut itself. Then I colored the paper using my copics just to give it some added color.
For the card I used some patterned paper from My Minds Eye for my card. I then cut another layer but fussy cut the butterflies out so I could prop up their wings to make they appear as if they were in flight! For the body I took some rhinestone trim and adhered it to the centers.
Metal Effect Cherry Blossom Branch.
Today is Cherry Blossom Branch, TUTTI-177.
Die cut the branch twice, from white card and pressed it into embossing ink, then sprinkled gold glitter embossing powder and heat set to create the metal look branches.
Then with a mat and ball tool gave them shape.
Glue and join the branches across the centre of the card.
Add a sentiment and ribbon roses to finish.
The branches are the perfect embellishment and they look like metal.
Happy Anniversary with Doves in Love.
Happy Birthday, Love Heart Edge.

Q: How to find k in contrasts, where comparing one group against multiple groups in a sample I am having trouble understanding how to conduct contrasts when comparing the mean of one group to the average mean of multiple groups. My understanding so far is that the Contrast (C) = $\mu_1- (\mu_2+\mu_3+\cdots+\mu_g)/g$, and that C must be divided by the standard error to obtain the t-value.
I am having trouble obtaining the standard error, for example, where you are comparing one group in the sample to that of 3 other groups, where you treat the 3 other groups as a single group, so C = $\mu_1 - (\mu_2+\mu_3+\mu_4)/3$.
I know that pooled standard deviation $\sum(k^2/n)^{1/2}$ is an approach, but I don't know how to decide on $k$.
(EDIT)
I believe i figured it out, to my understanding now, the coefficients must sum to zero. So $\mu_1 = 1, and (\mu_2 ,  \mu_3  and  \mu_4$) all equal -0.33333. This should be consistent with any combination of values, as long as all latter values are equal, and that they sum to zero with $\mu_1$?
My last question is this, must all negative coefficients be surrounded by brackets? So must $\mu_2$ be $(-0.3)^2   or -0.3^2$? As these give different answers.

Wales' housing crisis: Prices balloon at fastest rate in 10 years, outstripping rest of the UK
Aberdaron picture by John Harding (CC BY-SA 2.0).
House price growth has hit a 10 year high in Wales, and is the highest across the UK, amid increasing concern that house prices are rising beyond the reach of people living in communities.
House prices in Wales grew 7.1% in the year between May 2020 and May 2021, according to Zoopla's House Price Index Report. That compares with only 2.2% in London, which usually has the most overheated property market, and an average of 4.7% across the UK.
Zoopla said that a 'search for space' among homebuyers, as well as increased numbers of buyers "making lifestyle changes", was driving the growth. A rise in home working, holidaying in the UK and people fleeing cities during the pandemic is thought to be responsible.
Gráinne Gilmore, Head of Research at Zoopla, said that the stamp duty holiday – extended by the Welsh Government until the end of June – had also played a part.
"The stamp duty holiday boosted demand in the housing market," she said. "However, buyer demand remains elevated despite the initial holiday ending – signalling that the once-in-a-generation 'reassessment of home' has further to run this year.
"The total stock of homes for sale remains below historical norms, and this will underpin pricing amid higher demand. At the same time, lower stock availability may also constrain potential activity, especially for buyers looking for family houses.
"Even so, we forecast that this year will be one of the busiest for the housing market since the global financial crisis."
'Lot of activity'
The huge house price growth in Wales comes at a time when the Welsh Government has come under increasing pressure to act to ensure that people can afford prices in their own communities.
Language campaigners have been calling of the Welsh Government to act to solve the housing crisis in Wales which means that people are often not able to buy homes in their own communities.
Cymdeithas yr Iaith intend to hold a 'Wales is Not for Sale' rally held at Tryweryn Dam, on Saturday 10th July where they will be challenging the next Welsh Government to introduce a Property Act as a priority.
Chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith's Communities Group, Elin Hywel, said last month that "without such national intervention on the part of the people of Wales, there is no way we can tackle this crisis."
Mark Drakeford said earlier this month that his government will present "practical proposals" to tackle the second homes crisis in Wales before the end of the month.
"Progress is definitely being made inside the Welsh Government to come forward with a package of proposals," he told Sunday Supplement at the beginning on June.
"I expect the Cabinet to have a paper before the end of this month drawing together all those ideas and giving us some practical proposals to consider.
"Some listeners will know that an important report on this whole issue was published in March by Dr. Simon Brooks in Swansea University.
"We hope to respond to that report this month as well, and make a series of recommendations aimed at not just the Welsh Government but local authorities as well.
"So there's a lot of activity going on in this area. What I said in my first speech in the Senedd was nobody has a monopoly of ideas or wisdom on this topic, and when we come forward with our proposals we'll want to discuss them with others.
"And see if there are any other ideas that we could add to that repertoire, to strengthen the protections that are available in those local communities where, if we're not careful, people who were born, brought up, and want to make their futures in those parts of Wales, simply find that that's not possible for them."
"Practical proposals"? I don't think so, not with the gutter English press waiting to play the race card. It would take more gumption than Labour have shown in my (long) lifetime.
Charles Evans
Would make a change from the gutter Welsh press playing the race card, I suppose…
The irresponsible stamp duty holiday introduced by Drakeford's government is partly responsible for the over-inflated property price increases we are witnessing. Not the actions of a government that is supposed to care about the future of our country.

'A change of life style' my ar@*! It's about getting away from towns and cities in England where CV19/Variants one and two are rife. Plus the realisation that working from home creates a totally different life experience where the individual can take more control over daily life. However, the realities are hellish winter weather in some places and a rural economy that means fronting sheep or cattle or tractors and other heavy farm machinery on the narrow roads between villages which have one Swyddfa Bost per village, if you are lucky, that might also be the village store.

Why the negative response to my comment? A spinless contributer who wants to remain nameless? Could it be because my comment is written in Welsh?
As someone who has been wanting to and trying to buy a house in Wales for the last 5 years, I find it very unwelcoming the amount of anti-english hate I see in such posts. I for one, would actually like to learn and speak Welsh once I've moved (if I do) and would like to be a valued member of the community. I do understand why people say what they say, but I'd be careful about what you write as Wales relys heavily on tourism for the economy, constantly reading posts with hatred against the English may put people… Read more »

Reply to Oldskool
Does no-one ask why the locals want to sell up and move out. All of the reasons above, poor employment opportunities, poor infrastructure, no local shops,difficult access to health care etc. For every buyer there is a seller. Simon Brooks is clear that there is no evidence that second home owners are driving the prices
Reply to Danny Joseph
Yes that's true, I'm not saying that second homes are the sole reason for house price rises, all I meant is they are attributing to the house shortage. And yes I'm with you on why alot of Welsh people move out of Wales etc, all I was trying to get at if they brought a law in that locals get first dibs on any properties forsale before any outsiders did, then perhaps that might help locals remain local if they wished to.
