Project Gutenberg (PG) was launched by Michael Hart in 1971 in order to provide a library on the Internet of free electronic versions (sometimes called e-texts) of physically existing books. The texts provided are mostly in the public domain, either because they were never under copyright, or because their copyrights have expired. There are also a few copyrighted texts that Gutenberg has made available with the authors' permission. The project was named after the 15th-century German printer Johannes Gutenberg who propelled the movable type printing press revolution.
For the most part, Project Gutenberg concentrates on historically significant literature and reference works. The slogan of the project is "break down the bars of ignorance and illiteracy", chosen because the project hopes to continue the work of spreading public literacy and appreciation for our literary heritage that public libraries began in the early 20th century. All Gutenberg releases are available in plain ASCII text, and occasionally in other file formats as well. Because maximum availability is a goal, the project eschews prettier but bulkier and not-universally-compatible data formats such as PDF.
All Project Gutenberg texts may be obtained and redistributed by readers for no fee: the only restriction placed on redistribution is that the unaltered text must contain the Project Gutenberg header. If the redistributed text has been modified, the file must not be labelled as a Gutenberg text.
As of 2003, the project has released over ten thousand electronic books, almost entirely produced by volunteers, and remains active. Anyone can become a proofreader by signing up to the Distributed Proofreaders site [1], and volunteering for pages one by one from a variety of texts. While most are in English, there are some in French, Latin, Old English, and a few in other languages. Proofreading does not actually demand knowledge of the language.
In 1971, Michael Hart was attending the University of Illinois. Hart obtained access to a Xerox Sigma V mainframe computer in the university's Materials Research Lab, as his best friend and his brother's best friend were two of the four operators of that particular machine. He was given an operator's account with a virtually unlimited amount of computer time; that access has since been variously estimated to have been worth $100,000 or $100,000,000. Hart spent the next hour and a half trying to think of something to do with the computer that would be worth that much money. This particular computer happened to be one of the 15 nodes on the computer network that would become the Internet. Hart believed that computers would one day be accessible to the general public and decided to make works of literature available for free in electronic form. He happened to have a copy of the United States Declaration of Independence in his backpack, and this became the first Project Gutenberg e-text.
By the time U. of I. stopped hosting Project Gutenberg in the mid-1990s, Hart was running it from Illinois Benedictine College. Later he came to a similar arrangement with Carnegie Mellon University, which agreed to administer Project Gutenberg's finances. It was not until the year 2000 that Project Gutenberg was formally organized as an independent legal entity, and it is now a non-profit corporation chartered in Mississippi with an IRS ruling that donations to it are tax-deductible.
Since the Project's early days, the time required to digitize a book has decreased dramatically. Books are generally not typed in, but are instead converted into text with the aid of optical character recognition (OCR) software. Despite these advances, books still need to be heavily proofread and edited before they can be added to the collection.
Other projects inspired by Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg of Australia is an official sister project of PG. While the primary Gutenberg site is bound by U.S. copyright law, PG Australia produces e-texts in accordance with Australian copyright law, which differs from US law in defining when works enter the public domain. Thus, PG Australia is able to produce and host e-texts that would be illegal for Project Gutenberg in the United States while some texts from the US project cannot be hosted there. PG Australia also focuses on digitizing Australian material.
Aozora Bunko is a similar project in Japan, which focuses on digitizing non-copyrighted texts under Japan's copyright law and distributing them for free. Most of the texts provided are Japanese literature and translations from English literature.
Project Runeberg is a similar project for the Nordic language texts, begun in 1992.
Project Ben-Yehuda brings public domain Hebrew texts to the internet, and was inspired by Project Gutenberg. It was begun in 1999. A project by the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts is attempting to produce digital versions of its entire collection of Yiddish books.
In 2000, Charles Franks founded Distributed Proofreaders, which allows the proofreading of scanned texts to be distributed among many volunteers over the Internet. To make this possible, volunteers scan and run optical character recognition software on books, then place the results on a website for volunteer "proofers" to check. With thousands of volunteers each working on one or more pages, a reasonably-sized book can be proofed in several hours.
The Million Book Project aims to digitize a million public domain books by 2005. In order to process such a large number of books in such a short time, they generally skip the time-consuming transcription process and store their books as compressed image files.
The Mutopia project attempts to do for music what Project Gutenberg does for literary works.

getting into much finger style and was afraid of it.
st fret. So you've got those two chords.
you're going to play all the strings together like this.
get all the notes happening at the same time.
the exact same thing. Your goal is evenness.
and the pick quiet. So it's just even.
metronome and just nice and tight with the metronome.
Very interesting would like to learn how to play guitar.
Hybrid picking has the advantage you can use your normal picking with a pick and still get some fingerstyle like playing in there. Fingerstyle has the advantage you can use 4 fingers vs. 2 plus the pick (three total) for hybrid.

Portland Debuts BIKETOWN for All
Portland is excited to debut its BIKETOWN for All program! The program will provide an opportunity for Portlanders living on low incomes to become members of BIKETOWN and pay with cash. It will also provide bike safety education and free helmets to BIKETOWN for All members.
BIKETOWN for All is a partnership between the Community Cycling Center (CCC), the Portland Bureau of Transportation, Motivate, the Better Bike Share Partnership, and participating affordable housing communities, social service agencies and local nonprofits.
Portlanders living on low incomes and who are affiliated with participating housing, social service and community organizations can sign up and receive a discounted membership for $3 per month.
BIKETOWN for All was first piloted with the residents from Alder House Apartments in partnership with The Giving Tree NW, a community building organization. Most of the Alder House residents interested in a BIKETOWN membership did not have a credit or debit card that was necessary to rent a bike share bicycle. To serve those residents and other Portlanders without credit or debit cards, BIKETOWN has partnered with Portland Parks and Recreation to make cash payments possible.
"Having a cash membership option is a game changer in making bike share accessible for low-income Portlanders, said the Giving Tree NW's Heather Morrill. I know I will see many of my clients riding BIKETOWN who otherwise would not have access to this transportation and recreation option."
"I'm getting more exercise and I'm getting things done at the same time," said BIKETOWN for All member Jon Horton, who regularly uses BIKETOWN for both errands and getting to work. "Now with BIKETOWN, it cuts my commuting time for whatever I'm doing or wherever I'm going."
Portland resident Sandy Crutchfield said, "I live in senior housing and I don't have a car. I like to get outside as much as possible and I know the bikes will help me venture further. I am looking forward to new adventures thanks to BIKETOWN."
The Community Cycling Center will arrange with housing, social service or nonprofit organizations to promote BIKETOWN for All memberships with their residents or clients. We will usually hold a workshop at the referring organization's site describing how BIKETOWN works, including how to check out and unlock a bike. The workshop includes a bike ride covering essential skills for city bike riding. At the end of the workshop, participants can purchase a BIKETOWN for All membership at the cost of $9 for three months, or $3 per month. This membership provides the rider up to 90 minutes of daily ride time.
"Since BIKETOWN's launch this summer, we've heard from Portlanders and visitors being able to use a bike in the city for the first time," said Commissioner Steve Novick. "But cost may be prohibitive for many people throughout the city who would like to give it a try. Thanks to the Community Cycling Center, we've been able to expand BIKETOWN, making it more equitable and accessible."
"To help ease congestion, reduce our carbon footprint and support healthier lifestyles, we want to encourage Portlanders from all walks of life to enjoy the benefits of biking," said PBOT's Director, Leah Treat. "In less than four months, BIKETOWN has proven to be one of our most effective and visible means of spreading our active transportation message. Now with BIKETOWN for All, we're taking a major step forward. By becoming only the third US city to offer a low-cost cash membership option, we are making it even easier for more Portlanders to get out and ride."
"The launch of BIKETOWN earlier this year served as a powerful and promising beginning to a whole new way of experiencing bicycling in Portland," said Mychal Tetteh, Chief Executive Officer of the Community Cycling Center. "At the Community Cycling Center, we believe that Portland's bike share system should provide the highest levels of access and affordability. We are committed to developing the partnerships needed to ensure our bike share system meets the needs of the greatest number of people. We've begun developing cash-based options for Portland's unbanked residents through our BIKETOWN for All program. Creating access to bicycles that people can share remains at a core of our mission. We are excited to work with community partners to ensure that bike share is accessible and affordable to the greatest number of people in Portland."
Initially, BIKETOWN for All memberships will only be available through participating affordable housing, social service and nonprofit organizations. People interested in obtaining a BIKETOWN for All membership should speak to their case manager or resident service manager and ask them to complete the BIKETOWN for All interest form. In the future, BIKETOWN for All workshops will be open to individuals who are not connected with a referral agency.
BIKETOWN for All is funded in part by a grant from the Better Bike Share Partnership. Motivate is providing an in-kind donation of up to $54,000 by reducing the cost of 500 annual memberships to $3 per month.
Housing, social service or nonprofit organizations interested in participating in BIKETOWN for All should complete the BIKETOWN for All interest form.

The day's winners were Federer, Shapovalov, Barty, Pliskova and the rain.
Federer is back in the Miami semifinals.
Ashleigh Barty waited six hours to get her spot in the Miami Open women's final. Denis Shapovalov needed to pull off yet another comeback to earn his berth into the semifinals. Roger Federer, meanwhile, made winning seem relatively easy. And Simona Halep's chance to return to No. 1 in the world fell apart against Karolina Pliskova.
"I got a bit lucky there at the end," Federer said. "But it was a great fight by Kevin and of course I enjoyed the match."
Anderson hadn't lost a set 6-0 since October 2016 — 353 sets ago. He rallied from a break down to get back on serve in the second, before Federer took control at the end.
"They just don't happen often enough," Federer said of that 6-0 first set. "I think I played a really, solid, nice first set with very few mistakes."
Mistakes doomed Halep, who lost to fifth-seeded Pliskova 7-5, 6-1. Pliskova was up 5-0 in the second set when play was interrupted — for at least the sixth time Thursday — by rain shortly before midnight. Halep, the No. 2 seed, would have replaced Naomi Osaka as the top-ranked women's player if she won the semifinal.
She led 5-3 in the opening set and just unravelled. Pliskova won nine consecutive games before the skies opened during a changeover. After waiting about an hour for the rain to stop and the court to be dried, she needed only four more minutes of play and finished out the match at 1:11 a.m. — or 6:11 a.m. Friday in her native Czech Republic, 7:11 a.m. Friday in Halep's native Romania.
So the day's winners were Federer, Shapovalov, Barty, Pliskova and the rain.
"We can't control the weather," Barty said.
Barty walked away from tennis about five years ago, saying she was basically burned out at 17. She returned three years ago. And now at 22, she's better than ever.
They got three games in - six minutes of tennis - before the first in-match delay stopped things for more than two hours. They got another game in before more rain arrived, prompting another two-hour delay.
At 7:32 p.m., finally, Barty could celebrate. Kontaveit fended off one match point with a forehand drop shot but was ousted by an ace on the following point. Barty was down 3-1 in the second but won the final five games.
"Very long day," said Barty, who passed the time in the locker room by drinking coffee and watching golf. "But for me, it's an opportunity to come out and play another match."
Federer is 37 years old. That's the combined age of the two Canadian teens in the men's semifinals — Shapovalov, 19, will face Federer on Friday night, and the 18-year-old Felix Auger-Aliassime will meet defending Miami champion John Isner of the U.S. earlier Friday.
"Pretty crazy. Everyone is super excited back home," said Auger-Aliassime, who wasn't in the top 100 of the world rankings two months ago and now will climb to No. 33 next week — if not higher. "It's great to hear all these good comments from them. It puts a lot of belief in tennis in Canada. I think all the Canadian players from the young kids to Denis and Bianca and me, there is a lot of belief right now, so it's great to see."

2017 was a great year for Philadelphia bands. The year began with Bucks County native Josh Ostrander's Mondo Cozmo bumping Kings of Leon from the top of Billboard's Adult Alternative Charts with their single "Shine." The band later released their debut album Plastic Soul and played an amazing gig at Union Transfer. Strand of Oaks and The War On Drugs also released their first albums in three years. The rocker Hard Love and Grammy-nominated A Deeper Understanding are tremendous must-listen LPs. Lansdowne native Kurt Vile and Aussie Courtney Barnett also partnered for an indie superstar album that perfectly blended their songwriting and voices.
Indie music also witnessed great work from other Australian musicians. Barnett's wife, Jen Cloher, put out a great self-titled record. Personal superfavorite Holy Holy and the wizardly Tash Sultana also released attention-grabbing music as well.
It is hard to pick one favorite track, but Wolf Alice's "Beautifully Unconventional," The War On Drugs' "Pain," Strand of Oak's "Everything," and Mondo Cozmo's "Automatic" were among those that were played on a loop. Veterans like Marty Stuart, Beck, and The Killers dropped good songs as well, but some of my favorite singles from 2017 teased potential 2018 albums from bands like Sunflower Bean, Geowulf, and WYO.
Courtesy of Spotify, here is The Flat Circle's 2017 Mixtape. The tracks are not placed in any ranking other than where I thought they sounded best together. Readers are welcome to add the songs that they feel I missed to the comments on this post or mention them in The Flat Circle's Facebook and Twitter threads.

Q: Ruby local_to_utc returns invalid year I have the following date string ('US/Eastern'), which I need to convert to UTC:
date_src = '2014-07-07T23:10:00+0'

First I convert it to a "valid" format so I can operate it on later processes. I use the following to have an iso version of the date:
date = DateTime.parse(date_src).iso8601

At this point date is a nice '2014-07-07T23:10:00+00:00'. The last step on my  process is to translate this date to UTC. I'm using the following:
TZInfo::Timezone.get('US/Eastern').local_to_utc(date)

The problem is this is giving me 20014 as output, instead of the UTC version of the original date. If I try:
TZInfo::Timezone.get('UTC').local_to_utc(date)
I get 2014, which is the correct year but still unexpected output.
Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong, and what I could use to solve the problem?

A: local_to_utc actually expects a Time or a DateTime instance:
TZInfo::Timezone.get('US/Eastern').local_to_utc(DateTime.parse(date_src))
# => #<DateTime: 2014-07-08T03:10:00+00:00 ((2456847j,11400s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>

From the documentation, you can have a hint on what actually happened:

All methods in TZInfo that operate on a time can be used with either Time or DateTime instances or with nteger timestamps (i.e. as returned by Time#to_i). The type of the values returned will match the the type passed in.

What actually happens is the local_to_utc calls to_i on the input parameter, which on a string returns the parsed integer from the beginning of the string (2014 in your case since date is the string 2014-07-07T23:10:00+00:00), and adds the time difference to it - 18000 for "US/Eastern" (5 hour difference), and 0 for UTC:
date.to_i
# => 2014

TZInfo::Timezone.get('US/Eastern').local_to_utc(date) - date.to_i
# => 18000

TZInfo::Timezone.get('UTC').local_to_utc(date) - date.to_i
# => 0

So the bottom line is - kind of serendipitously you saw this weird behavior, which stems from the compilation of some surprising quirks of the APIs you used...


As works at The Connection progress into 2016, the project is tracking well across multiple fronts. Structural steel erection, including the link canopies, is complete on all four buildings, with the roofing works undertaken on 3 of the 4 buildings. All precast is complete with window subsils beginning installation shortly. Internal walls and studwork have also commenced.
With roadworks next on the agenda (March to June)and the wharf structure well underway, the project is really talking shape and beginning to look like the 3D rendered models. Coupled with the ongoing external works the project is tracking well for its August 2016 completion.
Take a sneak peek at the drone video here.

SCHWARTZ (1/3/05): [T]he blogosphere's tendency toward crackpot theorizing and political smack down could not be suppressed for long.
SCHWARTZ: Mr. Surowiecki pointed out that there is nothing new about ill-informed rumor-mongering or other forms of oddness. ''There were always cranks,'' he said. ''Rumors have always been fundamental about the way people talk, or think, about politics or complicated issues.'' Instead of a corner bar or a Barcalounger, however, the location for today's speech is an online medium with a potential audience of millions.
Yes, this is the latest battle in the Times' newest war—a war the paper has declared on the Net. If we may now engage in a bit of speculation, it has become fairly clear that some in Times Nation have just about had it with this rude medium, a medium in which wildly ill-informed people dare to challenge great orgs like the Times. Result? The paper began to publish silly attacks on the "blogosphere" late last year, and Schwartz continues the onslaught this morning. The Times is eager to let readers know how stupid those folks on the Net really are. They used to rant in their corner bars! But now, they've been given computers!
Yes, people like Schwartz are very brave when it comes to targeting folks on the Net. They search for silly statements by anonymous shlubs, then rush the odd statements into print, letting readers understand how idiotic the Net really is. But how brave and bold are fellows like Schwartz when it comes to influential crackpots? As we read Schwartz's piece this morning, our thoughts drifted back to the Times' brave conduct when it came to those cranks called the Swift Boat Vets—the cranks who transformed a White House election while fellows like Schwartz sat and stared.
Ah yes, the Swift Boat Vets—a group of crackpots with powerful interests behind them, a group which actually changed an election! When John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi published Unfit for Command, it was clear—to anyone who read it—that the pair were deeply kooky themselves. The book self-contradicts on page after page, and its gonzo chapter on Kerry-the-commie was straight from a mid-50s fever swamp. Any sensible person who read it would have known that its authors had emerged from those corner bars and were now engaging in "crackpot theorizing" and "ill-informed rumor-mongering" right out in public! And this, of course, is the very problem which Schwartz bravely types on today.
Somehow, Meadows was able to see the self-contradiction (and factual absurdity) that defined this crackpot book. ("While O'Neill's anger is real, his claims appear to be faulty...His fixation on attacking Kerry would be funny if it weren't so sad.") But this was part of a short review, written months after Unfit for Command transformed the race for the White House. And where had Schwarz been while this pair of cranks were spreading their corner-bar theories around? Of course! Schwarz had been hiding beneath his desk, too afraid to say the word boo. Readers, unlike those shlubs whom he quotes from the Net, O'Neill and Corsi were actually powerful. And fellows like Schwarz always know they should hide when crackpots show up with real power.
The Times declared war on the web late last year, and Schwarz is fighting the latest battle. Like men of his kind through the annals of time, he also knew to avert his gaze when the crackpots and kooks had real clout.
COLLINS GETS IT RIGHT: Gail Collins produces a superb editorial today about the unfolding Soc Sec debate. But isn't it strange—that the information included here can only be found in a Times editorial? The Times is quick to challenge silly misstatements when they're made by anonymous shlubs on the Net. But it's weird! The paper seems a bit slow to respond when the crackpot misstatements come from the White House! When that happens, fellows like Schwartz get very quiet. You have to turn to editorials if you want to receive basic facts.
Much more on Collins' topic all week. In the meantime, you know what to do—just click here.


Patients are asking more questions and seeing more information online about providers and suggested treatment, but their actual decisions usually are not based on price, she says. That may be due in part to the fact that the Syracuse market is behind the curve regarding health plans and high deductibles, with many employers maintaining their traditional plans. But even the most motivated consumer will find it difficult to obtain the information needed to truly price shop among healthcare options.
"With all that New York State regulates, I can't believe they haven't made us post our prices yet," she says. "I think the state would like to, but some hospitals are driving the conversation by saying 'No way.' It's because they are higher-priced and they know it, so they're going to oppose making it easier for patients to compare."
Crouse Hospital posts prices online, but Boynton says making costs and quality metrics transparent is more difficult than it might seem. The information that can be made available publicly is limited by the hospital's ability to calculate the many variables that go into determining a patient's actual costs, she explains.
For most procedures and treatment options, the Crouse Hospital website provides data such as the number of surgeries performed at the hospital, the typical age, approximate payer mix, the average price to the hospital, and the average amount reimbursed by the payer. The commercial health plans have to be combined for the average price and reimbursement figures because their contracts do not allow the hospital to disclose detailed information on their agreements.
Boynton pushed for making cost information available to the public two years ago when she was chief financial officer, contending that other hospitals across the country (although none in the hospital's market) were leading the way and that posting prices just made sense. No other industry could get away with not disclosing prices, she says.
"If your car dealer calls and says the car needs more work, he tells you how much it's going to cost," Boynton says. "But you go to the doctor and they order a long list of tests and office visits, and nobody even talks about how much this is going to cost you."
The price listing received a lot of favorable attention when Crouse Hospital launched it July of 2014, and Boynton expected other hospitals in the area to follow suit. That hasn't happened yet, and she says the reason is that the level of consumerism in upstate New York is not high enough to make hospitals feel obligated to make the move.
While Crouse has not seen changes directly attributable to its price transparency initiative, the feedback from patients and families who have accessed the information has been very positive, Boynton says, adding that the online page receives between 40 and 60 hits a week.
A similar situation is found in North Carolina, where the healthcare industry is seeing a "rising but moderate amount of consumerism," says Doug Luckett, president and CEO at CaroMont Health, a 435-licensed-bed nonprofit hospital in Gastonia. Consumerism is still in the early stages, where people are learning more about their healthcare options and the related costs but not necessarily acting in a proactive manner. It's only been in the past two or three years that CaroMont has seen a rise in consumer behavior, first noted when CaroMont's financial counselors spent more time on the phone helping patients understand their options and their out-of-pocket expenses.
CaroMont is responding by increasing the educational opportunities for patients.
"We try to set expectations so that there are no surprises in the end, and that seems to be what they want most at this point. They don't expect a firm dollar figure, but they want to understand what range they can expect," Luckett says.

Progressives and American Exceptionalism
John P. Warren | Sep 09, 2017
The Three Stooges of Democrat Treason Larry O'Connor
'Dead to Me': NYC Sports Fans Incensed Over the Empire State Building's Lighting Choice Matt Vespa
Over the past ten years, progressives have increasingly decried the notion of American exceptionalism, though for many, our exceptionalism has been well understood since the Revolution.
In his first Inaugural Address, at the very dawning of our republic, George Washington said it well, on April 30, 1789: "No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than those of the United States. Every step by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency."
So opens Michael Medved's, The American Miracle (2016), which lays out, resplendently, the manifold miracles blessing the evolution of our national character, and with it, the tuning of our moral compass. Medved's elegantly researched work gives further credence to the tenor of my most recent two pieces in this space, Progressivism's Problem—The Price (8/3/17) and Gimme that 'Ol Time Religion? (9/2/17), and so, I commend it to any reader thirsting for affirmation of our national endeavor.
Imagining the power of Washington's words upon his listeners then is hard today. Many of them had survived a month-long sail to be an American, or survived the frontier in which they cleared fields and built cabins, or survived a revolutionary war, at which every turn, defeat seemed inevitable. All of them gloried in the documents certifying our nativity: The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
By the time the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791, nearly 4 million people called themselves Americans, and could revel in yet another miracle for every person who'd lived under a tyrant. Wondrous were the rights men granted themselves, but they did not extend to women, native Americans, and slaves, all of whom had sweat equity in our national home.
Those imperfections are key to our continual search for true north beneath all the stars of good and evil. Those who forced our birth in 1776, carried with them bigotry and brutality, class and criminality. Yet, propelled as they were by a natural law embedded within them by an Almighty God, they struggled toward that more perfect union we still seek today.
Progressives do not see it that way, however. For them, it all gets down to one and only one principle for them: Government or God.
To make their world a reality, they must topple God, his Commandments, and the natural law undergirding our social mores. Slowly, surely, they have lured us from the pews into a segmented milieu where an hour of weekly worship is erased in favor self-absorption. Would that Sunday morning's runners, ball-players, video games players, and social media mavens remember our dependence upon Him who gave us life, and act like it! Ironically, progressives have made self the current god in order to force their common good upon us all when disunity so fragments us we crave their solution to chaos.
It helps the progressive drive to topple those, too, who have been our heroes, especially when those icons were firm believers in a Divine Providence, even when disastrous personas, such as Harvey and Irma, have visited their horrors upon us.
Most of us understand the likes of Washington and Jefferson were far from perfect in perceiving the better direction pointing in their compasses. The same was true of Andrew Jackson in his treatment of the Indians, yet no one thought so as he won the highly improbable—some say, miraculous—victory at New Orleans at the close of that war. It was true of Lincoln—a most unlikely national savior, who struggled with the issue of true racial parity with whites, yet knew the nation could "not long endure" with slavery as its fatal disease. That he survived our "fearful trip" only to die, as Jefferson and Adams did, at a propitious moment in time, was in itself, "a token of some providential agency."
As progressives strive to tear down icons of national greatness, they condemn them for their lack of moral perfection, and grant themselves liberties with notions truth and justice, while their compass needles wobble far from those certitudes given us by the Almighty. Progressives can't have an Almighty God in the picture, we must understand, because in their view of things, it's the state that is all-powerful, is the grantor of goodies, the bestower of bennies, the all-wise central planner for their vision of the common good: control of climate, personal freedoms (speech, assembly, religion, the media, and the right to bear arms), family size, health care mandates, wages, and when full power is achieved, the optimum age of individual departure.
Lincoln knew the present also foretold the future: "Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulty."
One should think Lincoln's use of the word, Christianity, was his own reference to one Almighty God, but more important, his words speak to the ages when he talks about "all our present difficulty." Then, it was the Civil War to come. Later, it might have referred to the struggle for racial and women's rights, to the horrors of two global conflicts, to the evils of communism, or to 8th Century religious adherents who seek to slaughter non-believers. Too, our present difficulty is the disunity threatening to engulf us, and the Alt-State—media, academia, Hollywood elites—marches lockstep together in this venture.
Progressives seek only the power to shape our world. For others of us, there is only one Power, our world has been gifted to us, and we must take time to acknowledge the Hand that guides it.

Foreign Borne Identities: The 2007 Human Rights Watch International Film Festival
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on June 11th
By R. Emmet Sweeney
IFC News
[Photo: Left, Miroslaw Dembinski's "A Lesson of Belarusian"; below, Shimon Dotan's "Hot House"]
Conspicuously absent at this year's Cannes Film Festival, the subject of the Iraq War has slowly receded as the flashpoint topic of political filmmaking. Whether a matter of over-saturation or simply fatigue at the implacable pace of the ongoing tragedy in the Middle East, the war no longer dominates documentary film discourse. And such is the case with the 18th Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, being held at New York's Walter Reade Theater from June 15th to the 28th. Of the 21 films and three shorts being screened, only one takes Iraq as its subject (James Longley's short "Sari's Mother"). While it's not central to the program, the U.S. policies adopted because of the war (and 9/11) haunt the edges of a number of entries, including one of the opening night films, Lynn Hershman Leeson's formally adventurous "Strange Culture."
Documenting one of the most egregious breaches of civil liberties in post 9/11 America, Leeson tells the story of University at Buffalo art professor Steve Kurtz, suspected bio-terrorist. During one horrific night in 2004, Kurtz's wife died unexpectedly from heart failure. When the medics arrived, they noticed (legal) bacteria cultures that Kurtz was to use for an art exhibit at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. They called the FBI, Kurtz was held, and he entered a legal nightmare he hasn't fully escaped from. With the case still ongoing, Kurtz isn't allowed to speak on certain issues, so Leeson hired Tilda Swinton and Thomas Jay Ryan for re-enactments of that material. Eventually the two actors break character, inserting their own commentary and joking with their real life models. There's a looseness to this structure that allows Kurtz's nerdy humor and
relentless optimism to shine through, making the film the story of an individual, not merely a trembling victim of incompetent government forces.
While President Bush's domestic policies failed Kurtz, his broad foreign policy to democratize the Middle East offered a hope to many that has yet to be realized. Two elections fully backed by the U.S., in Afghanistan and Palestine, are investigated in "Enemies of Happiness" and "Hot House," respectively. In the former, Danish filmmaker Eva Mulvad follows Afghani parliamentary candidate Malalai Joya in the run up to the 2005 vote, the first in 35 years. Joya is an extraordinary figure, a 28-year-old firebrand who had gained notoriety for being tossed out of the Grand Council of tribal elders for railing against corrupt warlords. In a country in which women's rights is a new concept, Joya is hugely divisive, and has to employ a security team to escort her to nearby villages (outlying towns are too dangerous). She had already survived four attempts on her life by the time film picks up her story. As she urges rural women to vote, rescues a teen from marrying an 80-year old opium dealer, and shares tears with a 100-year old (female) veteran of the mujahedeen against the Russians, it seems like grassroots democracy has a chance to succeed. With the recent resurgence of the Taliban and the increasing weakness of the Karzai government, this hopeful sketch now looks like a mirage.
"Hot House" documents the 2006 Palestinian elections from a unique perspective — the inside of Israeli prisons. Fourteen Palestinian prisoners were elected to parliament, nine of which were members of Hamas. Director Shimon Dotan gained an incredible level of access to the inmates in the weeks before the election, eavesdropping on their discussions while outlining the martial discipline with which each subgroup runs their lives behind bars. Dotan's basic premise is that the Israeli prison system politicizes extremists. The prisoners are given a free education from the Hebrew or Open Universities, and since two-thirds of the Palestinian population has been to jail, there's a tightly knit network of support for any former or current inmate who runs for office. This is the network that helped thrust Hamas into a commanding majority in parliament, and forced the U.S. to withdraw all aid to the territory.
A country where free elections won't occur anytime soon is Belarus, one of the most repressive governments in the world. "A Lesson of Belarusian" is a shot-on-the-fly account of the elections of March 2006, widely criticized by the U.S. and E.U. as unfair. President Alyaksandr Lukashenka changed the constitution so he could run for a third time — and used brutal strong-arm tactics to silence the opposition. The film follows the student movement centered around an outlawed school, the Lyceum. Banned for teaching the Belarusian language and its history (instead of the dominant Russian), the institution goes underground to agitate for the opposition leader Alyaksandr Milinkevich. A stunning indictment of Lukashenka's regime, "A Lesson of Belarusian"'s nervous cameras catch the pervasive fear and resentment of the populace, culminating in the massive demonstrations on Election Day and the ruthless beatings that followed. As with Joya, all the buoyant optimism of Election Day has come to naught. Lukashenka's grip on power is as tight as ever, and the opposition is splintering. Just last month Milinkevich was voted out as leader, to be replaced by a rotating group of four that advocates engaging with the authoritarian government.
The most rigorous film in the series is "Manufactured Landscapes" (opening June 20th at Film Forum in NYC), directed by Jennifer Baichwal. It examines the effect China's rapid industrialization is having on its landscape, seen through the eyes of Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky. Graced by luminous photography of gutted ships, mountains of recyclable waste, and strip-mined valleys, it forces the viewer to confront the contradictions of globalization: these images of uncanny beauty, the result of great leaps in human intelligence, are also polluting the world that nurtures that same intelligence. The gargantuan scale of China's modernization is embodied by the Three Gorges Dam, the largest ever planned, which has flooded numerous towns (one of which, Fengjie, is the subject of Jia Zhangke's latest film, "Still Life"). With its energy needs outpacing its supply, China will do anything for help, including importing oil from the Sudan.
The closing night film, "The Devil Came on Horseback," focuses on the genocide in Darfur as viewed by Brian Steidle, a Marine who took a job as cease-fire monitor with the African Union. Sadly, the film is in love with souped-up zoom-ins on maps and obviously staged scenes of Steidle popping off rounds. The basics of the conflict are covered adequately, with terrifying footage of a Janjaweed fighter reciting their slogan before an attack: "Kill the slaves." Steidle became an impassioned advocate of U.S. intervention, and the film threatens to turn him into a hero, with far too much footage of him giving speeches and interviews stateside. When the Sudanese are finally allowed to speak for themselves, their eloquence erases any memory of the previous self-congratulation. For Steidle it's the Iraq War that keeps the U.S. from stopping the slaughter. That's a questionable proposition, but one indicative of the symbolic power the war still retains. It's the open wound that bleeds through all current events.


Hello. I read what was on the site, but I am not too sure about the thinkness of the wonderboard I should buy. The room is approximately 13 feet by 20 feet. Would 1/8 be okay, or will I have to get something like 3/8 for it to be effective? Please keep in mind that there are three windows in the room. Additionally, for the windows, would the curtains work well? And which is the best way to do the door? I just wanted to add that my band is composed of three 20 year olds, and we are on a bit of a tight budget. I would really appeciate it if someone can e-mail me with a reply. Thanks for your time!

$50 NLHE 6-max: Bad river card would you bet out or check call or fold.
My goal is to more aggressively 3 bet so I choose hands that are easy playable post-flop such as suited connectors in this case 87s. The villain calls the 3 bet. Flop is actually good for me and bad for villains range so I decide to bet the flop with just a small paired 8. Villain calls well that could mean anything actually. The turn is a low card that is not good for villains range so I bet out again (trying to get flush over cards to fold (or pay the price) as they have very good equity against my hand. Villain calls again. On the river the flush card comes.
Perhaps a check fold might have been a better option and also a smaller turn raise?

well, in my opinion you shouldn't widen your 3bet range if you don't know how to play them postflop. You should have some gameplan and I don't see any. You don't even consider that MP range vs a 3bet is generally tight. And if it's tight we don't have so much fold equity postflop like on wide ranges. As 87s is a hand which requires fold equity postflop, because we mostly have to barrel proper boards I prefer to call it preflop. Especially vs 2.5x we get great odds.
Turn- just make a homework and put villain on range which called the flop. How do you see it? and you will see if you have a valuebet or you just turn your hand into a bluff. Please don't be result oriented and exclude A9s from his defending range, because most of the regs will just fold it. so you should generally make a note on him that he defends A9s on MP vs BB 3bet what is not a standard.
River is easy check/fold. You just beat nothing and turn your hand into a bluff. On tight ranges I guess it's not a good idea. You don't block any clubs here and I would prefer to have here a hand like AKo with one club than 89s (no clubs here).
I think check calling the turn is a reasonable option,your hands not strong enough to bet 3 streets. So river becomes a check and probably a check fold on that run out.
re: Poker & $50 NLHE 6-max: Bad river card would you bet out or check call or fold.
Preflop: like what Misaki says. But since you choose to 3bet 87s and actually it could be in the 3bet range to balance the strong hands, it is OK if you know how to play it well.
Flop: you check all your range or bet or your range. I am OK with that.
Turn: I don't quite agree with what you say. when the V call the flop actually he is representing he has a T like T9s, QTs, KTs, JTs, some flush draws, 99, or some 77, or even some QJ. Actually, I feel you should check here with most of your range even overpairs like JJ-AA and bet the river if the V check the turn. Do you think you will get value from worse hands 3 street? You don't think so right? So he will have some TX combos here and you actually only push some straight draw fold. The T will change nothing if he has 99 or nitty lower pairs.
River: check is better. The flush complete and since you don't have blockers in your hand the possibility he has flush is larger. You have thin shown down value like you still beat some nitty guys never fold the low pairs or miss drawing.
Pre is good, flop is good.
Turn, I don't understand if we are value betting or bluffing?
This is just a good hand to check/call why are we pushing?
As value, We're almost never getting called by worst.
As a bluff, our hand has good showdown value, we have much weaker hands to bluff with.
River, so our hand is a bluff after all, and its fine here. Our range is heavy on overpairs and flushes that we were bluffing with and improved.
On the turn I am value betting targeting over-cards and flush draws with a slightly less then 1/2 pot sized bet. Not many hands can call this bet thats true but I want to charge flush draws and take the pot down now if they have over cards.
MP here is unk. You see that he call you. Why you play here 3rd barrel with your 2nd pair with low kicker? Imo turn check and river easy check/fold. I don't see any place here for any bluff. What did you count on the river that he called you; with what? With air or with trash 5X? Why are you here most pot committed? You didn't know villain. I don't understand you line of the game. Have you mistakenly suggested his VPIP 50% after 2 hands? As for me, at your own request money thrown into the mud.
i get your strategy 3beting those kind of hands, but i think the flop is pretty good for vilain his range calling a 3bet 99+ or AJs+. as u did hit some value u may check the flop and re evaluate.


This article contains information about the UAZ Open Top vehicle in PlayerUnknown's Battleground [PUBG]. We'll add more information as soon as we find more information.
The UAZ Open Top is a versatile vehicle which is a fusion of the Jeep and the Buggy. It retains the Jeep's speed but is open similar to the Buggy. As it is similar to the Jeep, it's capable of running off-road unlike the Dacia 300.
Because of its open exterior, players who use the UAZ Open Top may find themselves a victim to Assault Rifles and Sniper Rifles.
The UAZ Open Top, similar to its Closed Top cousin, has the same speed and can accommodate the same amount of people. This car is perfect for those who wish to run as a squad instead or running solo.
This vehicle cannot take a heavy amount of fire. To disable a UAZ Open Top, players would often throw a grenade to completely obliterate the said vehicle or simply shoot the driver.
This car is not recommended to refuel due to it being vehicle an "open" vehicle .
Its lack of open spaces leaves the player vulnerable as he/she refuels the vehicle .
This vehicle only serves as an alternative if the Jeep or the UAZ Closed Top are not within range. Its lack of armor is what makes players hesitate in using this vehicle.
This vehicle is best used for simply transporting or doing quick kills. While this vehicle is slower than the motorcycle, it's a good replacement for the mean time as players can also use it as a barrier.


Wizkid is arguably one of the world's most well-known and talented International superstars. He has recently been grabbing headlines for a collaboration a with Nike in the wake of the immense success of the Team Nigeria jerseys and appearing alongside Naomi Campbell at a Dolce and Gabbana show during Milan Men's Fashion Week. The musician is back to being a news story, courtesy of a scathing Instagram post by one of his baby's mothers.
Starboy is reportedly the father of three sons. The child in question is his eldest, named Boluwatife, or Tife for short. Tife's mother Shola took to the gram to reveal the multimillionaire musician's reputedly poor parenting skills. She told her followers that WizKid has missed each one of his son's birthdays, and has neglected to call his son on such occasions, but posts "Happy Birthday Tife" on his social media accounts. Shola claims she has had to buy gifts for their son and claim that they have come from his father to avoid hurting the child.
Shalo also alleges that Wizkid does not assist his child financially as he supposedly prefers to spend his money on drugs rather than his son's education. She detailed an incident where Wizkid sent the child home with a "weed crusher" in his bag and allegedly bought a chain for Tife which he took back after Tife had posed for photographs in it.
