string(5663) "In the last five years, competitive videogame play or 'esports' has quickly emerged as one of the fastest growing spectator and participatory sports for young people on a global scale. According to Forbes, 2018 global revenues are predicted to hit the one billion mark, a 38 per cent increase from 2017 (Perez, 2018). In North America, there are now more than 50 universities and colleges with varsity esports teams, many of which now offer scholarships for their top players. And this rise of interest in esports at the collegiate level is mirrored by the rise of interest at the high school level as well, with more than a dozen youth esports leagues emerging in the last three years in the United States alone. To date, esports programs for high schools have largely remained in the after-school and for-profit sector, consisting of competing teams of high schoolers who play commercial videogame titles on teams and against one another in either school-versus-school matches or structured league playoff events. Such programs are permitted by the schools, but take place out-of-classroom and offsite, leveraging students' interest in esports as a means to organise and connect socially, but not as a means for teaching and learning or for more targeted development of career-oriented or social-emotional skills. Such programs attempt to create a positive competitive environment for young adults that might foster healthy attitudes toward school and productive connections with their peers. However, to date no programs have designed the league with learning in mind or assessed whether or not such programs are actually making good on their potential to connect and enrich the intellectual and social lives of kids.The North America Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF) takes a very different approach, using esports as a Trojan horse for connected learning (Ito et al, 2013) – learning that connects students' personal interests with academic, career, and civic achievement as well as with a network of mentors and peers that can support and amplify that learning and build relationships between young people and the broader community as a means for affiliation, recognition, and opportunity. Launched in 2017 in California and now expanded across North America (United States, Canada and Mexico), NASEF league and club structure directly connects academic content to esports in authentic ways to enrich students' gameplay and to demonstrate to young learners how school content across the disciplines is directly and crucially relevant to our everyday lives. Our fundamental premise, based on more than two decades of research, is that "the most resilient, adaptive, and effective learning involves individual interest as well as social support to overcome adversity and provide recognition" (Ito et al., 2013). NASEF makes good on this principle using the meteoric rise of esports.NASEF GoalsThe stated mission of NASEF is "to provide opportunities for all students to use esports as a platform to acquire critical communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills needed to thrive in work and in life." (About the Federation, 2018). This grant mission includes both academic content goals and equity goals. Academic Content Goals. Unlike any other high school esports league to date, NASEF puts learning at the very heart of the entire enterprise. Here, esports is seen as a vehicle for engaging students' learning across the academic domains of Science, Math, and English Language Arts (ELA) (see Figure 1) as well as career-ready practices in game design, entrepreneurship, marketing and hospitality (Career Technical Education standards or CTE, 2018) and social-emotional skills (CASEL, 2018). This cross-disciplinary laundry list of standards may seem ambitious from the perspective of the standardised classroom, but in practice the content standards across domains readily hang together out 'in the wild' of everyday work and play. Esports is no exception, and success in esports at the team and club level requires a broad set of knowledge, skills and dispositions that traverse a single discipline. Research during this first year of implementation focused primarily on assessing the current and potential learning opportunities in the league as it naturally evolves. Findings showed that organic, unprompted efforts and ideas from students, coaches and GMs emerged even without heavy scaffolding. At one school, the GM tasked students with producing their own website for their school's team. At another, students took it upon themselves to edit in-game video clips into mini movies for their school's television station. At yet another site, the GM and coach gave impromptu homework assignments on learning various game characters' abilities and weaknesses and students created several game-related, self-directed lessons. As one participating student commented, "I never really analysed a game more closely than I have with League [of Legends]. Mostly because of my coach."Figure 1. NASEF academic content goals as a convergence of Math, Science, and English Language Arts (Cheuk, 2013). Equity and Inclusion. But academic content alone is not the only goal of NASEF. Equity also plays a central role in this mission. In the words of Gerald Solomon, Samueli Foundation Executive Director, "Our mission is to help insure that a child's future is not determined by the zip code they are born into." (personal communication, 29 June 2018). In esports, the particular challenge is attracting players who might"

string(5667) "articles and leaflets, they are part of an evolving story of change. Students must use their imaginations to be part of this world – and to participate in the changes happening to them. We have found this to be an incredibly effective strategy for addressing what could be heavy content and ideas with year sevens. They get engaged and enjoy the subject. They develop an emotional attachment to the country they have created, and they take the developments very seriously – responding passionately and thoughtfully about what's happening and what should be done. I designed the unit with a heavy emphasis on activities developing critical thinking through talk-based learning. The unit builds on ideas from P4C and 'Thinking Together'. According to Thinking Together, exploratory talk allows students to develop their level of thinking as a group and alone. They do this by making their reasoning 'visible' – using words like 'I think', 'because' and 'why'. They recognise that, when persuading others, they must justify their ideas with reasons. They understand that they must seek and respond to contributions from others. Through talk, students also develop their ideas. Conversation is a creative process. In thinking through and responding to others' ideas, students develop their own. Much of the learning happens through discussion – in reaction to events. By thinking together, students critically unravel the strengths and weaknesses of the different forms of governments. They collaboratively explore what they think is important and critically explore the challenges of action and revolution. Using debate, scenario-based role play and problem solving, students empathise with the experience of different types of government. The students should be encouraged to feel it is ok – in fact, that's it's the whole point! – to change their view. They don't have to defend a view to its end. In debate, I make a point of saying that students should feel free to change sides if they change their opinion. In problem solving role play, the emphasis is on reaching an agreement – and thus compromise. 1 Citizenship POS KS3 2007 2 Egan K. (1991) Primary understanding: education in early childood. New York: Routledge Is everyone really happy under a dictatorship?    MAKING YOUR OWN COUNTRY l Cross CurriCulum ProjeCt Plan 60 Creative Teaching & Learning n Volume 1.1 To complement this approach, I ask students to write a 'diary entry' for each of the lesson's events. This is an opportunity for the students to express their opinion, justify it and record it. Through this, I hope the students have learned the value of explorative talk as a generator of ideas and a key to further learning – and don't see 'speaking their minds' as an end in itself. This is a heavily political and value-laden subject, with scope for indoctrination on the hegemony of the day. I did not want the unit to be a didactic lesson on the values of democracy – but for students to appreciate that other systems have attractions and advantages and understand that the form of government you prefer will depend on which values are most important to you. Since one of my objectives in designing this unit was to facilitate the development of language for learning in citizenship, learning and using key words has a heavy focus. One strategy I used was a display board – to showcase work on the different forms of government as the unit progressed – to reinforce these words. This project uses real case studies – on Somalia, Iraq, Zimbabwe, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Libya, and Cuba. In inner city schools, you may have refugees from Somalia, Iraq and Zimbabwe. I have tried to provide discussion opportunities – allowing students to share their personal experiences. It is important that students from these countries are connected and involved in the learning – and their country is not seen as an outsider.

To take an example from the early years, we can focus on story as a learning tool. Wecan invite our young students to begin their topic, and can introduce them to it, by asking what's the story on apples,or dust, or leaves, or trains, or whatever. That is, we will be looking first for what is emotionally engaging about it,what can vividly capture their imaginations in their topic.We can also think about what 'images' can get the child engaged in apples, or dust or trains. By images is notmeant simply pictures, but rather emotionally charged senses that can be formed in their minds with words. Animage suggested is between the apple and paradise. The very word 'paradise' comes, via Greek, from the Persianname for the walled gardens wealthy Persians built for themselves long ago – the walled garden being as close as onecould get to paradise on earth. Apple trees were grown in these gardens. The teacher can tell students about thesegardens in such a way as to call up in their minds this association between the apple and the peaceful places in whichthey were early cultivated. Pictures of such gardens can help build students' images of such places and what theymeant to their owners, as can stories that bring out the contrast between the harsh and arid world outside and thesafety and green shade within—particularly appropriate stories chosen from the One Thousand and One Nights.Learning tools for the early yearsStoryOne of the most powerful tools students have available for engaging with knowledge.Stories shape our emotional understanding of their content. Stories can shape real-world content as well as fictional material.Binary oppositesBasic and powerful tools for organizing and categorizing knowledge. We see suchopposites in conflict in nearly all stories, and they are crucial in providing an initialordering to many complex forms of knowledge.ImagesGenerating mental images can be immensely engaging in exploring knowledge. Theycan attract our emotions and imaginations to aspects of any topic. The use of mentalimages (as distinct from external pictures) should play a large role in stimulatingstudents' interest in their topics.MetaphorsEnable us to see one thing in terms of another. This peculiar ability lies at the heart ofhuman intellectual inventiveness, creativity, and imagination. It is important to helpstudents keep this ability vividly alive by exercising it in building their portfolios.MysteryAn important tool in developing engagement with knowledge that is beyond thestudents' everyday environment. It creates an attractive sense of how much that isfascinating remains to be discovered. All topics have mysteries attached to them,and part of the teacher's job in making exploration of their topics more engaging tostudents is to give them an image of richer and deeper understanding that is there todraw their minds into the adventure of learning.Rhyme, rhythm, andpatternThese are potent tools for giving meaningful, memorable, and attractive shape toany content. Their roles in learning are numerous, and their power to engage theimagination in learning the rhythms and patterns of language is enormous.Jokes and humourCan expose some of the basic ways in which language works and, at the same time,allow students to play with elements of knowledge, so discovering some of learning'srewards. They can also assist the struggle against arteriosclerosis of the imagination asstudents continue to build their portfolios.Puzzles and problems Pointing out puzzles or problems can stimulate students' explorations in manydirections. The teacher can raise questions that encourage students to encounter someattractive difficulty, solving which will enable them to develop further knowledge.LEARNING IN DEPTH l Cross CurriCulum ProjeCt Plan71Volume 1.3 n Creative Teaching & LearningLearning tools for the middle yearsThe sense of realityThe development of rational and logically structured forms of thinking is greatly easedby literacy, and these can be deployed to restructure students' portfolios.The extremes ofexperience and the limitsof realityStudents' imaginations grasp reality readily in terms of its limits and extremes; theyfocus on the extremes, on the most exotic and bizarre features of reality, on the mostterrible and courageous events. These features can add a new dimension to students'portfolios.Associating with heroesEnables students to overcome some of the threat of alienation involved in the newsense of reality. By associating with those things or people that have heroic qualitieswe can gain confidence that we too can face and deal with the real world, taking onthose qualities with which we associate. It gives us a further tools to explore humandimensions of portfolio topics.The sense of wonderWe can turn this sense of wonder onto anything, recognizing the wonderful inevery feature of the world.

Is it to have red-bloodedadventures and to make a fortune, which is what broughtthe whalers and other entrepreneurs north? Or is it,lllllrather, to have a good family life and be imbued with afar-reaching and intimate knowledge of one's homeland,which is what the Tununirmiut  told the whalers at Pond'sBay wealth was?  Is it to retain a capacity for awe andastonishment in our lives, to continue to hunger after whatis genuine and worthy?  Is it to live at moral peace with theuniverse?'

Ashley Benson Spotted Out With G-Eazy Following Her Split From Cara Delevingne
By Desiree Murphy 4:32 PM PDT, May 14, 2020
Looks like Ashley Benson has been spending some quality time with G-Eazy following her split from Cara Delevingne.
Amid recent dating rumors, the two were spotted picking up takeout at The Apple Pan restaurant in Los Angeles. Paparazzi photos show G-Eazy (real name Gerald Earl Gillum) and Benson, both 30, arriving together in a black Range Rover.
It appears the two may just be close friends, however. Benson seemingly set the record straight when she "liked" a comment from a fan account on Instagram that said, "Can't Ashley have friends now? STOP SAYING ASHLEY CHEATED! OR EVEN CARA! They just need friends right now more than ever."
The two also recently worked together, as Benson was a featured artist on G-Eazy's cover of Radiohead's "Creep." The rapper dropped the duet via social media last month, captioning it, "You're so f**king special."
ET reported earlier this month that Benson and Delevingne, 27, called it quits after nearly two years of dating.
Rumors that they were a couple began swirling in August 2018, after the pair was spotted kissing in London. They finally confirmed the relationship in June 2019, while stepping out together for The Trevor Project's TrevorLIVE Gala in New York City.
Delevingne was the recipient of the Trevor Project Hero Award, and during her acceptance speech, she wasn't shy about expressing her love for the Pretty Little Liars star.
"I also have another very special woman in this room to thank and you know who you are," she mused. "She's one of the people who helped me love myself when I needed it most and I really needed it. She showed me what real love is and how to accept it, which is a lot harder than I thought."

В днешно време се предпочита електрическа примка (LLETZ, Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone или LEEP, Loop Electrical Excision Procedure), защото така се отстранява по-малко тъкан, отколкото при класическа операция със скалпел.

Преди интервенцията пикочният мехур се изпразва чрез катетър. След дезинфекция, разширяване на влагалището и в някои случаи локално впръскване на медикамент в матката, за да се предотврати евентуално силно кървене, от външната част на шийката на матката се отстранява тъкан във формата на конус. Дълбочината и ширината на конуса се определят от възрастта на пациентката и от резултатите (от цитонамазка и / или биопсия) преди операцията.

Накрая се прави абразио (остъргване на шийката на матката със специална остра лъжица - кюрета). Във влагалището се поставя тампонада (обикновено от марля), за да се подпомогне спирането на кървенето. Тампонадата се маха след няколко часа.

Изследвания преди конизацията
Преди всяка конизация трябва да се направи колпоскопия и евентуално биопсия.

В зависимост от резултатите е възможно операцията да се планира, а много от случаите изобщо не е необходима. При цервикална интраепителна неоплазия (ЦИН) от степен I или II се препоръчва изчакване. Последните изследвания в тази област показват, че спонтанните ремисии в рамките на една година при ЦИН I са 60-80%, а при ЦИН II 40%.

Цитонамазка с резултат III D е индикация за лека до среднотежка дисплазия. Преди се е препоръчвало да се направи нова цитонамазка след 3 месеца. В днешно време се препоръчва в най-кратък срок да се направи колпоскопия и биопсия.

Цитонамазка с резултат IV A е индикация за среднотежка до тежка дисплазия. Преди този резултат сам по себе си е бил индикация за конизация. Сега се препоръчва незабавна колпоскопия и биопсия. Едва след излизането на хистологичните резултати от биопсията, се решава дали да се направи конизация.

Не трябва да се предприема конизация без преоперативна колпоскопия и биопсия.

More and more protest in Belgium against statues Leopold II
https://nos.nl/artikel/23...ndbeelden-leopold-ii.html
In recent days, statues of former King Leopold II have been defaced or destroyed in various places in Belgium. The protests in the US were prompted by the violent death of George Floyd, coupled with the upcoming sixtieth anniversary of the independence of Congo.
Leopold II was king from 1865 to 1909. He is controversial in Belgium for his role in the then Belgian colony of the Congo Free State in Central Africa. He conducted a very violent colonial regime there. In the wingewest, which was in private possession of the Belgian king, the black population was exploited and tortured for decades, resulting in millions of deaths.
Chopped off hands
Leopold II was never in the Congo himself, but did benefit from the proceeds from, among other things, the rubber harvests to finance large construction projects in Belgium. The exploitation of the black population was accompanied by horrific punishments such as chopping off hands, torture and beheading.
In several Belgian cities there are statues in memory of the former king. These have been defaced and / or destroyed in several places in recent days. This happened in Brussels, Ghent, Ostend, Ekeren, Halle, Hasselt and in the Africa Museum in Tervuren, among others.
In Ostend, a hand was chopped off from the statue of the king years ago. Nevertheless, Mayor Tommelein does not think of removing the controversial image. "I don't think that by removing statues, racism will disappear. I think we should also say clearly that Leopold II has played a very important role in our city and we don't want to minimize that," he told VRT.
Earlier, an information board was already placed at the statue explaining the role of the king in the former colony and that is enough, according to Tommelein.
Is this really the image we want to give tourists of Brussels?
Noah (14) about his petition to remove statues of Leopold II
There is a different opinion in Brussels. The majority parties in the Brussels parliament have appealed to the Brussels government to decolonize public space in the Brussels region. A petition to remove all statues of Leopold II from Brussels has also been signed 45,000 times.
The petition was started by 14-year-old Noah. According to the teenager, with a Congolese background, images like this no longer belong in Brussels, a city where people of nearly 200 nationalities live. "So many tourists come to Brussels every year. Is this really the image we want to give them of this city?" He asks in an article in De Standaard. "You don't see a statue of Adolf Hitler in Berlin, do you?"
"You put on armor"
The death of George Floyd and the protests against it in America got him thinking about the situation in Belgium. "I suddenly realized that there are so many things that are not normal, things that I have considered normal so far. I bet that all black people in Belgium have experienced something because of their skin color. After a while you end up armor, to stop feeling emotions when you experience something racist. I'm afraid I have to wear that armor for the rest of my life. "
Noah hopes that on June 30, the sixtieth anniversary of the independence of Congo, at least one statue of Leopold II, who is on the Troonplein, disappeared from the Brussels street scene. "That would be a nice symbol for many people from the Belgian-Congolese community."

Destroyed statue of Belgian former king Leopold II removed
In Ekeren, Belgium, the statue of former King Leopold II has been removed. The artwork was set on fire last week and was repeatedly daubed with red paint. The heavily damaged statue is cleaned and restored in the Antwerp open-air museum Middelheim.
According to district president Koen Palinckx of the Flemish nationalist N-VA, the chance that the image will return is "very small", writes Het Laatste Nieuws. He calls a definitive placement in the open air museum "definitely an option".
The square where the statue stood will be reconstructed in 2023. According to the Antwerp channel ATV, the image would already be removed during the redesign.
Last week statues of Leopold II were destroyed in various places in Belgium, including in Brussels, Ghent and at the Africa Museum in Tervuren. The reasons are probably the protests in the US after the violent death of George Floyd and the sixtieth anniversary of the independence of Congo.
The former king is controversial in Belgium because of his very violent rule in the former colony of the Congo-Free State. In the wingewest, which was in private possession of the Belgian king, the black population was exploited and tortured for decades, resulting in millions of deaths.

Abuses in Congo under the Leopold II rule
A petition has been circulated in Belgium calling for the removal of all statues of Leopold II from the streets of Brussels. Why is the figure of Leopold II so controversial?
Until the mid-18th century, Congo remained relatively free from European colonialism. Fierce local resistance combined with the jungles, swamps and diseases such as malaria and sleeping sickness meant that Europeans seldom ventured into the Congolese interior. This changed in the second half of the 19th century with the Scramble for Africa, where all of Africa was divided among the European superpowers.
Congo Free State
King Leopold II of Belgium was granted the crown possession of the Congo at the Colonial Conference of Berlin in 1884, in which Africa was divided among the great powers. From 1876 he had become more and more interested in Central Africa and in 1879 had sponsored an exploration by Henry Morton Stanley. He campaigned for a long time to bring the area under his rule and was rewarded for it at the conference. The Congo Free State did not become a Belgian colony, but a kind of private property of King Leopold. He had to promise that he would give other European countries access to the resources of Congo and that he would treat the population well.
Blood rubber
In practice, good treatment of the population did not come to pass. It took Leopold a while to figure out how to make the most money in his African territories. However, the rubber boom of the last decades of the 19th century caused the prices of rubber to rise enormously. Congo turned out to have a good climate for the rubber tendrils, after which Leopold mobilized the entire population to harvest rubber. A rubber quota was imposed on every village, which had to be met at all costs. The quota fulfillment was controlled by the Force Publique, the colonial army, and failure to supply enough rubber could be punishable by death. The harvested rubber was later given the name blood rubber, because many people died while fulfilling the quotas.

Fascinating, Principessa. Thank you for sharing.
I was an exchange student in Belgium in the 1980s. I don't recall much discussion about Congo or Leopoldo at that time. But I was into teenage things. I just remember that schooling for teens seemed strict, hard, and very intense. And Ypres was beautiful and sad.

During my University years we spend about two years into our studies with Belgian students (as an experiment for an international cooperation). Even as we are neighbouring countries our experiences with and within the school system and related were so different. In general in the end we Dutch learned to study harder (we needed to as the Belgian got better grades) and the Belgian students became louder. The last change is not mentioned negatively, but positively.

Til and Phil fan account
English speakers, this is an excellent guide to Leopold and the Congo. It doesn't shy away from the hideous crimes committed in order to create and maintain a Belgian colony.
There's a photo reproduced in the book which I won't share here, but I cannot forget it,. It shows a Congolese man sat looking a severed hand and foot which belonged to his 5 year old daughter.
It's estimated that 10 million Africans died as a result of Leopold colonising the Congo. He was a butcher and I'm glad to see at least one of his statues taken down.
Cool your jets, everyone
This is important information thank you. There is certainly a global movement happening and I am glad for it may we get to the promised land together. I hope that Phil Til and the wafflets do not interfere and if ever asked admit that it is time for a reckoning. I mean Robert E Lee's great great grandson wants his ancestor's legacy to no longer be applauded.

Was Leopoldville named in honor of King Leopold II?
Quote from: CyrilSebastian on June 12, 2020, 10:10:22 AM
According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinshasa) :
"...The city was colonized as a trading post by Henry Morton Stanley in 1881. It was named Léopoldville in honour of King Leopold II of the Belgians, who controlled the Congo Free State, the vast territory that is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, not as a colony but as a private property...."
By the way there are 2 seperate nations named Congo in Africa. To avoid confusion often the name of the capital city is added to the name Congo (Congo-Kinhasa & Congo-Brazzaville)
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (French: République démocratique du Congo), also known as DR Congo, the DRC (the official acronym), DROC, Congo-Kinshasa, or simply the Congo, is a country located in Central Africa. It was formerly called Zaire (1971–1997). It is, by area, the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa, the second-largest in all of Africa (after Algeria), and the 11th-largest in the world. With a population of over 84 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most populous officially Francophone country, the fourth-most-populous country in Africa, and the 16th-most-populous country in the world. The Eastern DR Congo has been the scene of ongoing military conflict in Kivu, since 2015. This Congo is the former Belgian Congo, the private property of King Leopold II of the Belgians. He named it the Congo Free State. Nearly all infrastructure projects initiated by Leopold were aimed at making it easier to increase the assets which Leopold and his associates could extract from the colony. In the Free State, colonists coerced the local population into producing rubber, for which the spread of automobiles and development of rubber tires created a growing international market. Rubber sales made a fortune for Leopold, who built several buildings in Brussels and Ostend to honor himself and his country. To enforce the rubber quotas, the army, the Force Publique, was called in and made the practice of cutting off the limbs of the natives a matter of policy. During the period of 1885–1908, millions of Congolese died as a consequence of exploitation and disease. In some areas the population declined dramatically – it has been estimated that sleeping sickness and smallpox killed nearly half the population in the areas surrounding the lower Congo RiverNews of the abuses began to circulate. In 1904, the British consul at Boma in the Congo, Roger Casement was instructed by the British government to investigate. His report, called the Casement Report, confirmed the accusations of humanitarian abuses. The Belgian Parliament forced Leopold II to set up an independent commission of inquiry. Its findings confirmed Casement's report of abuses, concluding that the population of the Congo had been "reduced by half" during this period.Determining precisely how many people died is impossible, as no accurate records exist. In 1908, the Belgian parliament, in spite of initial reluctance, bowed to international pressure (especially from the United Kingdom) and took over the Free State from King Leopold II.The Belgian parliament exercised legislative authority over the Belgian Congo. Opening up the Congo and its natural and mineral riches to the Belgian economy remained the main motive for colonial expansion – however, other priorities, such as healthcare and basic education, slowly gained in importance. The Belgian Congo achieved independence on 30 June 1960 under the name "République du Congo" ("Republic of Congo" or "Republic of the Congo" in English). As the neighboring French colony of Middle Congo (Moyen Congo) also chose the name "Republic of Congo" upon achieving its independence, the two countries were more commonly known as "Congo-Léopoldville" and "Congo-Brazzaville", after their capital cities. Then in 1965 the time of (dictator?)Mobutu arrived A constitutional referendum the year before Mobutu's coup of 1965 resulted in the country's official name being changed to the "Democratic Republic of the Congo." In 1971 Mobutu changed the name again, this time to "Republic of Zaire" Corruption became so common the term "le mal Zairois" or "Zairian Sickness", meaning gross corruption, theft and mismanagement, was coined, reportedly by Mobutu himself. In a campaign to identify himself with African nationalism, starting on 1 June 1966, Mobutu renamed the nation's cities: Léopoldville became Kinshasa (the country was now Congo-Kinshasa), Stanleyville became Kisangani, Elisabethville became Lubumbashi, and Coquilhatville became Mbandaka. This renaming campaign was completed in the 1970s. The Congo River was renamed the Zaire River. In 1996-1997 the First Congo War. The coalition allied with some opposition figures, led by Laurent-Désiré Kabila, becoming the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo (AFDL). In 1997 Mobutu fled and Kabila marched into Kinshasa, named himself president, and reverted the name of the country to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kabila was assassinated in 2001. His son Joseph Kabila succeeded him and called for multilateral peace talks. UN peacekeepers, MONUC, now known as MONUSCO, arrived in April 2001. A new election took place in October 2006, which Kabila won, and in December 2006 he was sworn in as President. In the country with or without influence of groups from Rwanda rebellious fights broke out over time. In 2015, major protests broke out across the country and protesters demanded that Joseph Kabila step down as President.According to Jan Egeland, presently Secretary-General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, the situation in the DRC became much worse in 2016 and 2017 and is a major moral and humanitarian challenge comparable to the wars in Syria and Yemen, which receive much more attention. Women and children are abused sexually and "abused in all possible manners". Besides the conflict in North Kivu, violence has gone up in the Kasai region. The armed groups are after gold, diamonds, oil, and cobalt to line the pockets of rich men both in the region and internationally. There are also ethnic and cultural rivalries at play, as well as religious motives and the political crisis with postponed elections. He says people believe the situation in the DRC is "stably bad" but in fact, it has become much, much worse. "The big wars of the Congo that were really on top of the agenda 15 years ago are back and worsening". On 30 December the Democratic Republic of the Congo general election, 2018 was held. On 10 January 2019, the electoral commission announced opposition candidate Félix Tshisekedi as the winner of the presidential vote He was officially sworn in as President on 24 January 2019 Hoewever there are rumours of corruption.
The Republic of the Congo (French: République du Congo, Kongo: Repubilika ya Kôngo), also known as Congo-Brazzaville, the Congo Republic, RDC (the official abbreviation), RotC, or simply the Congo, is a country located in the western coast of Central Africa. This Congo was formerly part of the French colony of Equatorial Africa. The Republic of the Congo was established on 28 November 1958 and gained independence from France in 1960. It was a Marxist–Leninist state from 1969 to 1992, under the name People's Republic of the Congo. The sovereign state has had multi-party elections since 1992, although a democratically elected government was ousted in the 1997 Republic of the Congo Civil War, and President Denis Sassou Nguesso, who first came to power in 1979, has ruled for 35 of the past 40 years.

Belgium's Prince Laurent: 'Leopold II never went to Congo'
https://www.brusselstimes...d-ii-never-went-to-congo/
Prince Laurent of Belgium said he did not see how King Leopold II could have harmed Congolese people because "he never went" to the Congo, which he personally owned for decades.
"He never went to Congo himself," Laurent, the younger brother of Belgium's King Philippe, said in an interview with Sudpresse.
Laurent's statements come amid a surge in support for the removal of monuments honouring the colonial king, who declared himself sole owner of the Congo Free State in the late 1800s. Several statues of Leopold II have already been taken down, with many others defaced as anti-racism movements gain steam across the world, fueled by the police killing of US Black American George Floyd.
Extensive accounts and records of forced labour and systemic brutality characterised Belgian occupation of the Congo, which Leopold ran through the brutal Force Publique, tasked with enforcing rubber quotas and overseeing labour at the fields.
"I do not see how he could have made people there suffer," he added. "You must know that there were many people that worked for Leopold II, and they were really abusive — but that does not mean that Leopold II was abusive."
"Just look at what King Leopold II did for Belgium and you will understand," he added, referring to Leopold's reputation as the 'Builder King' of Belgium for the numerous public works he ordered, many financed through the exploitation of Congo's people and resources.
During his reign, Leopold ordered and oversaw the construction of, among several others, Brussels' landmark triumphal arch in Parc du Cinquantenaire, of the Hippodrome Wellington in Ostend and of the Africa Museum in Tervuren, which was filled with a large collection of colonial artefacts. Personal properties built and acquired, including the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken and numerous massive estates, were donated to the state-owned Royal Trust on the condition that they remain at the disposal of the royal family.
In the interview, Laurent also said that whenever he met a head of state from Africa he "always presented his excuses for what Europeans had done to Africans in general."

NO MIDEAST PROGRESS FOR CHRISTOPHER US Secretary of State Warren Christopher ended his latest Mideast peace mission Aug. 9 without a breakthrough on an accord between Israel and Syria. His last stop was Jerusalem, where he met Aug. 8 with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres. Rabin has signaled Syria he would give up at least some of the Golan Heights and move the 13,000 Israeli Jews who came into the 15-mile-wide buffer zone after Israel captured it in 1967. Syrian President Hafez Assad wants Israel to relinquish all the territory. Christopher intends to return to the region in September. Violence in Burundi
At least 15 people have been killed in two days of clashes in Burundi, a volatile central African state that diplomats say may follow neighboring Rwanda down the path to chaotic tribal conflict. The clashes, involving angry youths of the minority Tutsi tribe, brought commerce to a standstill in the capital, Bujumbura. Aid workers say the clash threatens the main UN supply route to Rwandan refugees. Nigeria's oil exports hit
Nigeria's main striking oil workers union said Aug. 9 it was stepping up its campaign to halt crude-oil production and exports to force army rulers to hand power to detained presidential claimant Moshood Abiola. The 150,000-member union began the strike July 4 to demand the release of Mr. Abiola and his installation as president. The strike has cut crude-oil production by at least 25 percent. Muslims flee to Croatia
Thousands of civilians and soldiers loyal to rebel Muslim leader Fikret Abdic were fleeing to Croatia from the Bihac area of Bosnia in what seems to be a collapse of Abdic's forces, the United Nations said Aug. 9. Mr. Abdic, a businessman and former member of the Muslim-led Bosnian leadership, split with Sarajevo almost a year ago in a disagreement over whether to accept an international peace plan for Bosnia. Angola-rebel pact
Angolan government negotiators signed an 11-point procedural agreement with UNITA rebels Aug. 9, but thorny questions of power-sharing still stand in the way of a peace pact. UNITA spokesman Jorge Valentim and government spokesman Caneira Higino said they were adopting the procedural accord before moving on to the next agenda item at long-running peace talks the security of UNITA leaders. US census ruling
In a ruling that could mean more money for big cities and give urban areas more power in Congress, a federal appeals court said the Bush administration undercounted blacks and Hispanics in the 1990 census. The ruling by the US Court of Appeals in Manhattan supports the position of the Census Bureau, which said the Bush administration missed about 5 million citizens, mostly in urban areas. Southern California and Arizona could gain a representative at the expense of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, plaintiffs said.

Genre: Horror Six months ago, the world watched in horror as we lost an American city. The Grinder. That's what the survivors of Tucson called the monster. Just one touch, and they became a part of it. It used their bodies as limbs and as weapons. In just a matter of hours, it became huge, a towering monstrosity made entirely out of tens of thousands of people and animals. This isn't behind-the-scenes bulls**t from the point of view of the military. This isn't yet another conspiracy theory about what really happened to Air Force One that night, or about the decision to nuke Tucson. This is a rare, eyewitness account from someone who was there, in the midst of the destruction. But most importantly, this is the terrifying truth.

The CTF Finance Centre elevators already carry impatient passengers up at a rate of 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) per minute. Hitachi modified the elevator's control units and safety devices for the test, making the units even lighter.
As recorded by China's National Elevator Quality Supervision and Inspection Center ( a public accreditation body of elevators-who knew?) - Hitachi's super fast elevator reached a rated speed of 1,260 meters (4,133 feet) per minute.
Just how fast is that? About 47 miles per hour straight up. Hitachi believes this makes their elevators the fastest in the world.
The technology that allows the Hitachi lifts to rocket up so quickly is based on a thin-profile permanent magnet synchronous motor, stronger main ropes and a compact control unit which makes the unit lighter and capable of handling the demands of super-high speed elevator travel.
Safety features include electromagnetic brakes using braking materials able to withstand temperatures of 300 degrees and active guide rollers at each corner of the elevator car to absorb vibration as the care travels. A single governor regulates the speed of the car.
Hitachi addresses the ear-popping issue with its proprietary air pressure adjustment technology that reduces air pressure changes inside the car.
The modified elevators were set back to the original 1,200 m/min rate after the test. Hitachi says the rated speed going down is only 600 meters (1,968 feet) per minute, presumably because dropping faster would cause riders to whack their heads on the ceiling of the car.


Published ahead of print last week online in the Journal of Neurosurgery the Barrow Ruptured Aneurysm Trial (BRAT) published their subgroup analysis of only the saccular aneurysms included in the study. The BRAT6 year results have previously been published however this subgroup analysis included review of only those patients enrolled in BRAT who had subarachnoid hemorrhage related to saccular aneurysms.
Of the initial 471 patients enrolled in the study, 77% (362/471) had saccular aneurysms. In the saccular aneurysm subgroup, there was no significant difference in outcomes from discharge through the 6 year follow up. In addition, retreatment was more frequent in the coiling treatment group, with 21 retreatment's performed (18%) compared to the clipping arm which had 1 retreatment (0.4%). Complete obliteration rates also favored clipping in this analysis with 96% of clipped aneurysms having complete occlusion, compared to 48% of the coiled aneurysms.

Contemporary art in the nave
Catégorie - 19 February 2016
A new year means a new edition of Art Paris Art Fair, an event dedicated to modern art and contemporary art. The magnificent iron and glass nave of the Grand Palais will host the event, which takes place over four days from 31st March to 3rd April. Discover contemporary creations, in many forms, selected by nearly 150 Galleries. This unmissable exhibition can be reached within minutes by metro from the Chess Hotel Paris.
Artists and galleries from all over Europe and the rest of the world
With galleries from Zurich, London, Moscow, Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, but of course, and also Strasbourg, Lyon and Marseille, Europe is particularly well represented. It's worth noting, however, the presence of galleries from Tehran and Bogota for the first time as well as favourites like New York. Finally, this year, as with every year, a guest of honour has been appointed. South Korea is the popular choice for this edition and no fewer than 80 artists will represent the country.
Established artists and emerging talent
Founded in 2006, the fair of modern and contemporary art has become accessible to more and more forms of artistic expression over time; painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, visual design, video, and even the comic, from a host of creative artists and designers. Recognised artists, whose works are also at FIAC for example, will present their work alongside works by emerging artists. These can be seen in the gallery spaces and are also highlighted in the "Solo Show" space and in the "Promise" category which is specifically devoted to them. As for the digital arts, they enjoy the most beautiful screen in the city – the façade of the Grand Palace!
Art Paris Art Fair aims to work as an ambassador and make contemporary art accessible to all, both artistically and financially. It offers the opportunity to learn too, so why not go along and see if you can spot the Cesar, Picasso and Starck of tomorrow?


Los Angeles: 'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson has taken aim at the media for attacking actress Kristen Stewart following her cheating scandal last year, saying anyone can make mistakes.
Stewart hit the headlines after photographs of her kissing her married 'Snow White and The Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders went viral and she was forced to issue a public apology for the 'indiscretion', which caused a brief break-up of her romance with 'Twilight' co-star Robert Pattinson, reported Us magazine.
Stewart was criticised for months over her messy love life, but Watson felt nothing but sympathy for the actress because she had to struggle through her personal problems in the glare of the media spotlight.
Kristen Stewart hit the headlines after photographs of her kissing Rupert Sanders went viral.
"Those who criticised her are the same people that think that being rich and famous is like being covered in some kind of magic powder that makes life perfect: Nothing can go wrong in your wonderful world.
"For these people, Kristen deserves all the bad things that have been thrown at her because she had an amazing life and she ruined it," Watson said.
"I thought that the media picked on her in a very horrible way. Kristen is human, just like everybody else, and she's so young. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone. It's not fair to consider them matters of public interest.
"On one hand, I can understand why it happened: people felt really involved in her relationship with Robert Pattinson. But it's also true that they both have done everything in their power to keep their relationship as far from the public eye as possible," Watson added.
topics discussеd here? I'd really love to be a part of group where I can get opinions from other experienced people that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks a lot!
I visited several websites but the audio feature for audio songs existing at this website is truly excellent.

Pelosi Continues Push For Senate To Pass Jan. 6 Commission As GOP Declares New Report Enough

June 8, 2021 12:56 p.m.
While they prepared to filibuster the bill to set up a January 6 commission, many Republicans senators cited the coming report from two Senate committees as evidence that there would still be a fulsome investigation without the commission.
But now, hours after the Senate Rules and Homeland Security committees released the 128-page report, Democrats say that the narrow treatment falls far short of the investigatory work a commission would perform.
"We are still hoping the Senate will pass the January 6th Commission," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said in a dear colleague letter hours after the report's release. "If not, we will be prepared to seek and find the truth of the assault on the Capitol, our Congress and our Democracy."
Since the commission's demise in late May, Pelosi has dodged when asked about next steps. One potential path forward is entirely under her control: a select committee, peopled by lawmakers, that would only have to pass through the Democratic-majority House. President Joe Biden has ruled out standing up a presidential commission unilaterally.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) too has kept hope alive that the Senate may pass the bipartisan commission bill at some point, after six Republicans joined with the Democrats to move the bill to debate (Sen. Pat Toomey, a Republican from Pennsylvania, said he also would have voted with the Democrats had he not missed the vote). That effort fell short of the 60 votes needed to surpass the legislative filibuster.
It's not clear where the three additional Republican votes would come from if the Senate did vote on the bill again. Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) is the only remaining member of the caucus who voted to impeach former President Trump after the insurrection, but he voted against the commission in May, explaining that he preferred for the congressional committees already working to be the sole investigators.
It seems that, in light of the new report, the Republican Senate caucus is going to basically assume Burr's position.
"Today's report is one of the many reasons I'm confident in the ability of existing investigations to uncover all actionable facts about the events of January 6," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Tuesday morning from the Senate floor. "I continue to support these efforts over any that seek to politicize the process, and I would urge my colleagues to do the same."
McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) have tried to spin the January 6 commission as a partisan product of Democratic leadership, when in reality the legislation was written by House Homeland Security Committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and ranking member John Katko (R-NY).
Schumer used his floor time Tuesday to bash the report as incomplete, narrow by design and forced by Republican lawmakers to omit information on the cause of the insurrection, which would have most clearly implicated former President Donald Trump.
"The report did not investigate, report on, or hardly make any reference to the actual cause — the actual impetus — for the attack on January 6th," he said. "With the exception of a brief reference to former President Trump's remarks at the ellipse, Senate Republicans insisted that the report exclude anything having to do with the cause of the insurrection."
"If anything," he added, "the joint report by the Homeland Security and Rules Committees has strengthened the argument for an independent commission on January the 6th."

Follow up on ISM and the death of Rachel Corrie
Excerpt from NGO Monitor April 10, 2003 5763 Nisan 8
The IDF has completed an exhaustive investigation of the death of Rachel
Corrie, and as the findings hardly matched the original "eyewitness reports"
of fellow ISM protestors, NGO Monitor thought it would be beneficial to
provide a brief follow up. As one may recall, Rachel Corrie, a 23 year old
American woman, was serving as an international peace protestor/human shield
with the Palestinian International Solidarity Movement when she was
allegedly killed by being run over by an IDF bulldozer.
First, it has been determined the "eyewitness report" that the world
received following the death of Corrie was fictional. The IDF performed a
complete and exhaustive investigation of the death and discovered the
following: 1) Corrie was not sitting in front of the bulldozer, but was
obstructed from it by a mound of earth; 2) She died not from being hit by
the bulldozer - apparently there was no contact between her and the
machine - but rather was hit by heavy building debris that the vehicle was
moving; 3) the bulldozer was not demolishing homes at all, but was
flattening out an area frequently used as a staging ground for terrorism and
arms smuggling, in order to increase Israel's ability to maintain security
control of the area. Judy Lash Balint of the Jerusalem Diaries prepared an
informative article documenting the discrepancies in the account.
www.jerusalemdiaries.com/article/83%20
Rachel Corrie, like so many other self-proclaimed peace activists and human
shields, had a very strong ideological "agenda" of hostility and anger.
Myles Kantor, a columnist for FrontPageMagazine.com and Director of the
Center for Free Emigration, a human rights organization dedicated to the
abolition of state enslavement, also provided an enlightening assessment of
the situation. He summed up Corrie's anti-American upbringing, including her
attendance at the leftist Evergreen college complete with a main area called
Red Square. He also noted that the ISM's online photo album includes a
member shaking hands with Yasser Arafat, and members leading protests in the
Middle East with signs such as "America, Stop Supporting Apartheid" and
"Ethnic Cleansing in Progress."
http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=6966
Israel has continually confronted ISM members over their cooperation with
terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Kantor emphasized
the bias and hypocrisy of this community, noting that while various NGO's
condemned the death of Corrie and called for an investigation in spite of
her controversial, flag burning ways, that murder of 24 year old Hebrew
University student Marla Bennett, also an American, at the hands of a Hamas
terrorist , went almost unnoticed among the same people.

We had our trusty Rick Steves book which suggested a walk through old town. We decided to do the route backwards – which would have us end closer to our hotel – so we started the day at the Charles Bridge. The other benefit to this was we got to the bridge really early in the day, which Rick Steves (and now we) recommend doing because it is not yet so packed by tourists. We returned to the bridge on another day later in the afternoon and it was difficult to navigate because it was so full!
The bridge is lined with statues of saints. One of the most popular is St John, who we learned was thrown off the bridge for not divulging the Queen's confessions to the King. When he hit the water, 5 stars appeared – which I guess is an indicator that he was a cool dude who shouldn't have been thrown off a bridge – and now he is depicted with a halo of 5 stars. The plaque underneath him was shiny from being touched so often. We touched it so we could pet the dog on the plaque and later discovered that if you touch the plaque and make a wish the wish will come true, so we returned and touched it again with a wish in mind.
We saw 5 or 6 wedding photo shoots on the bridge. We didn't take any photos of those because that would be weird.
We walked past Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor. He did a lot of great things for the Czech people including founding the first university in central Europe (the figures at the base of his statue are allegories of four faculties – theology, medicine, law, and philosophy); moving the capital of the Holy Roman Empire to Prague; elevating arts and culture — long story short, it was the Golden Age of of Bohemia. Rick Steves also told us that he was an anti-Semite who wrote laws in such a way that he could seize Jewish property. So, he did a lot of good but wasn't the best for everybody/had some bad ideas which I suppose is pretty common for rulers of this type and time.
Also, there was a lot of Duff beer around Prague? Not just at this market but all over the place. There was also a lot of cannabis stuff which I didn't realize was such a thing.
This square was the site of mass demonstrations in the Velvet Revolution. As you can see, it's really more of a very long, very wide street. Standing at the top, imagine the whole place filled with hundreds of thousands of people and what it must have been like when the announcement was made that the Communist reign was over!
We continued on to the Powder Tower (Gothic) which was directly next to the Municipal House (Art Nouveau), both of which were just a little bit away from the House of the Black Madonna (Cubist). This was I think one of the most interesting things about Prague – it escaped a lot of the destruction that many other cities experienced in the world wars, so you can see all these slices of history living next to each other.
Re: Art Nouveau, I didn't realize that Prague was so great at it. The Municipal House is a gorgeous example but you see it all over; Mucha (whose work you know even if you don't know it) was Czech and did a lot for the city.
We ended our walk back at the main square. In the center of the square stands a monument to Jan Hus, a Czech priest and church reformer (a predecessor to the Protestant movement) who lived in the late 1300s. Unlike Martin Luther who had a little more luck a century or so later (and indeed Luther was influenced by Hus), Hus was burned at the stake for heresy and his followers rebelled against the church, leading to the Hussite Wars. This is just a personal impression so if you are a religious history expert and I am wrong please correct me, but: it was interesting to me to see how generally secular the Czech Republic is compared to super-Catholic Poland (which is what I'm used to and is why I noticed it). Not as many churches and shrines; masses weren't going on every other minute; less going on about the Pope. I'm guessing this is a result of the Hussite legacy and general distrust/dislike of the Catholic church and religious authority.
The Astronomical Clock — too bad about the scaffolding!
The Astronomical Clock in the main square is Kind of a Big Deal. It was installed in 1410 and still operates – it's the third oldest in the world and the oldest still operating – although the time is usually wrong because they didn't have daylight savings back then. In addition to the time, the clock tracks the zodiac sign of the moon. Later, they added a big wheel at the bottom with saints names that tracks which saint's day it is. On the hour, the figure of death (a skeleton) rings a bell – I guess to remind you time is passing and you gon' die – and the apostles appear in little doors above the clock.
Rick Steves jokingly (?) suggests taking a photo of the tourists gaping up at the clock when it's in action — we opted for a selfie so as not to be so obvious.

Investigating the flow behaviour of CO2 and N2 in porous medium using core flooding experiment

Several researchers employed N2 to augment CH4 recovery efficiency and CO2 sequestration during the Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) process in consolidated rocks. To our knowledge, there has been limited data backing the reason why CO2 experienced a more extended breakthrough during the EGR process in the presence of N2 gas. This study inves-tigated CO2 and N2 behaviour during the core flooding experiment by CO2 injection in Bentheimer core plug. N2 was used as the continuous phase during the core flooding process, while CO2 was the dispersed phase. The experiment was designed with varying injection rates at 30 and 40 0C temperature points. The experimental findings showed that the dispersion and diffusion coefficient, CO2 storage, concentration profile and breakthroughs were highly influenced by temperature change, especially at lower injection rates. However, at high injections, those properties are less sensitive to change in temperature, with most of the curves overlapping in the concentration profile. The highest and most negligible dispersion and diffusion coefficients were recorded at the highest and lowest injection rates respec-tively. These results agree with those reported by several researchers for sandstone rocks. Thus, higher temperatures have a more substantial effect on dispersion and diffusion coefficient, which eventually led to higher mixing between CO2 and N2. The breakthrough time decreases with an increase in reservoir temperature, confirming the diffusion and dispersion coefficients are temperature dependent. The experiment at 30 0C recorded an extended breakthrough time over that at 40 0C. The maximum breakthrough time at 0.52 PV was recorded at 30 0C at the lowest injection rate. The concentration profile highlighted the trend between the displacing and displaced gas during the core flooding experiment. From the range of injections and temperatures tested, the CO2 PV stored decreases as the rate of injection increases from 0.4 – 1.2 ml/min. However, the CO2 stored was more promising at higher rates, corresponding with high differential pressure, due to flow resistance within the tortuous flow channels in the porous medium.

Q: Which commit hash to undo a pushed merge using git-revert? I merged the beta branch into the master branch.  I pushed to origin.  I now want master to be as it was prior to the merger both locally and remotely.
A good answer for undoing a merge that was already pushed suggests
git revert -m 1 commit_hash

If this is indeed the way to go, how can I determine commit_hash?  I unsuccessfully tried the hash returned by merge-base:
$ git merge-base --all master beta
1f4b949b7ef97abf913ae672e3acd0907abfac1b
$ git revert -m 1 1f4b949b7ef97abf913ae672e3acd0907abfac1b
error: Mainline was specified but commit 1f4b949b7ef97abf913ae672e3acd0907abfac1b is not a merge.
fatal: revert failed

I've examined both git-log and gitk renditions of the branches, but they're very long, and I am uncertain enough of my interpretation to feel I should seek assistance before making a perhaps bigger mess.  Beta was derived from v2 which was derived from master.  There have been some mergers from master into v2 and beta along the way as I've kept the new branches up-to-date with master.  The merger in the direction from beta into master was a mistake I wish to correct.
Once I do determine the merge point, if I find any commits made on master after the merger that really should be on the beta branch, what's the best way to move them over?

A: You need to find the commit of the merge, git merge-base tells you the commit where you can do the merge. It basically is the last commit that exists in those two branches. The merge commit exists in your master branch only, unless you created a new branch after the merge, but that's not relevant here. :)
To find the merge commit try:
git log master ^beta --ancestry-path --merges
The needed commit is the very last commit.
But please read up on Linus' write up: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/revert-a-faulty-merge.txt

A: Also look at http://sethrobertson.github.com/GitFixUm/ which walks you through almost any git problem, including pushed merges.  However...pushed merges have no easy solution.

Who Is Jeff Gordon In NASCAR?
Jeff Gordon is one of NASCAR's most famous drivers in history. Ask anybody to name an all-time great NASCAR driver, and even the least knowledgeable will probably tell you that Jeff Gordon is one of them. Over the course of his career, Gordon managed to land himself third on the all-time wins list, won the Daytona 500 on three separate occasions, and forever altered the landscape of NASCAR. Read on to learn about his early life, his career in NASCAR, and what he's been doing since retirement.
NASCAR Career
Gordon was born in Vallejo, California, on August 4, 1971. From a young age, he garnered a passion for racing, picking up his first BMX bike at the age of four as a gift from his step-father. He quickly progressed to the quarter-midget, a small race car for young children. He first won the national quarter-midget championships when he was only 8 years old. It would be his first championship victory of many.
Gordon's family moved to Pittsboro, Indiana when Jeff was 13 years old, and it was there that he started to race bigger and faster cars. At 18, Gordon took up stock-car racing. He entered into his first NASCAR competition in 1992, and as they say, the rest is history.2
Jeff Gordon entered the NASCAR Cup series in 1992 after a few years racing in the Busch Series. Gordon signed with Hendrick Motorsports, and began driving the No. 24 car for them, the car which would become synonymous with excellence for years to come. His first full season came in 1993, where he started in all 30 races in the Cup series that year.
Gordon became a champion early on, winning the Winston Cup Series (later the Sprint Cup Series) in 1995. The victory marked the beginning of a string of incredible performances, which ultimately culminated in Gordon winning four NASCAR cups within the span of seven years.
In 1996, Gordon became locked in a fierce battle with teammate Terry Labonte for the cup championship, ultimately falling to second place that year. In 1997 and 1998, however, Gordon came back and took home the Winston Cup. Gordon also won his first Daytona 500 in 1997. Gordon's final NASCAR cup victory came in 2001, though he came close on numerous occasions after '01.
Gordon was on-track for another championship in 2004, where he had a 60-point lead over then-second place Jimmie Johnson. However, beginning in 2004, the series changed from a season-long points battle to two separate regular and postseason (the Chase for the Cup) points battles, meaning that Gordon's lead was erased before the start of the final races of the season. Gordon ultimately fell to third overall at the end of the 2004 season.
Gordon found incredible success early in the 2007 season as well, leading by over 300 points at the start of the Chase for the Cup, but couldn't manage to pull out the win during the postseason.
After 2007, Gordon struggled. From 2008-2010, he recorded just a single win. He rebounded in the 2011 season, during which he became the winningest driver in the modern era.
Gordon's final season came in 2015, where he recorded one win, three pole positions (including at Daytona), and a third place overall finish in the NASCAR Cup series, falling just shy of his goal of winning a fifth championship title.
He returned for part of the 2016 season as a substitute for an injured Dale Earnhardt Jr.
With a career that spanned 25 years, Gordon achieved an incredible amount. His 93 total wins put him third all-time in NASCAR history, and he managed to place in the top ten of 477 races, more than half of all of his races. His career earnings surpassed $500 million, and he's one of the top 20 highest-paid athletes of all time. Jeff Gordon is one of NASCAR's finest.
Jeff Gordon is a practicing Christian, and early in his career he would tape Bible verses to his steering wheel as he raced, as a sign of his faith.
Jeff Gordon met his first wife, Brooke, at the 1993 Daytona 500. They hit it off, and they married in November of 1994. The couple was together until 2002, when they filed for divorce.
In 2004, Gordon began dating his now-wife Ingrid Vandebosch. The two were married in 2006, and Ingrid gave birth to Ella Sofia Gordon, their first child, a year later. Their son Leo was born in 2010. The family currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Gordon currently spends his time with his family and commentating on the Fox Sports NASCAR team.
