Days of pent-up post-election anxiety gave way to spontaneous street celebrations as Joe Biden supporters on Saturday cheered news of his presidential win with a cacophony of banging pots and pans, honking horns and dance music in cities across the United States.
Rallies by hundreds of supporters of Republican President Donald Trump, who insisted on Saturday "this election is far from over," were more muted in size and scope compared with the festive crowds that turned out by the thousands in some cities for Biden.
While there were some isolated confrontations between Trump and Biden supporters, as occurred between two opposing groups of about 100 each in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, there were no immediate reports of violence or other unruly behavior.
After a nerve-wracking four-day wait for results after polls closed on Tuesday, the reaction to news that Pennsylvania and its 20 Electoral College votes had carried Biden over the line was almost instantaneous.
Minutes after major television networks called the race in the former vice president's favor, throngs of people - most wearing masks to curb the spread of COVID-19 - streamed to the White House to rejoice outside a security fence as the sound of fireworks boomed in the distance.
"I was on the bus and I jumped off the bus to come right down here to the White House," Washington resident Donna Thomas said. "It is something to celebrate. We have been waiting so long."
Duane Fitzhugh, 52, a teacher celebrating outside the Trump International Hotel, on Pennsylvania Avenue blocks from the White House, compared the moment to the lifting of an evil spell.

"It's like a pall fell over the country four years ago, and we've been waiting years for it to end," he said.
In New York City, Biden supporters danced in the streets, cheered and banged on kitchenware from balconies, brownstone stoops and rooftops - hoisting Biden campaign signs and American flags in the air.
A planned demonstration in Manhattan's Columbus Circle turned into a dance party celebrating the election's result, while revelers at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village danced and splashed in the park's fountain.
JUBILATION VS. ANGER
Similar scenes played out in cities coast to coast - Atlanta, New Orleans to San Francisco, among them - overwhelming what some backers of Trump had planned as a day of rallies in all 50 state capitals in support of baseless claims that Democrats were out to steal the election.
Hundreds of pro-Trump demonstrators gathered in several cities - from state capitals in several battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona to such Republican strongholds as Colorado Springs, Colorado.
But those rallies were generally smaller in number and in size compared with the crowds turning out to register their delight at the victory of Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris.
In Los Angeles, protest marches organized in advance by labor unions and the political activist group Refuse Facism, demanding that Trump concede defeat, ended up merging with Biden victory celebrations, filling downtown with a crowd of thousands.
At least 2,000 people massed in San Francisco's Castro District in a carnival-like atmosphere of dancing, shouting, and music blaring from car stereos.
Some hoisted painted paper-mache likeness of Trump with the words "lock him up" scrawled on it, along with Biden campaign signs and American and rainbow flags. Even a handful of city traffic control officers were seen joining in the revelry.

Enjoying unseasonably warm weather in Philadelphia, Biden supporters cheered, danced and hugged in the streets. Jada Carter, 23, and her younger sister, Nyla, 11, chanted, "Na-Na, Hey-Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye" at Trump supporters huddled nearby.
Many supporters of Trump and his running mate, Vice President Mike Pence, demonstrated their own unwillingness to accept the election's outcome.
Hundreds gathered on the steps of the state capitol building in Lansing, Michigan, waving Trump-Pence flags to shouts of "This is not over" and "We will be here forever."
At the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix, tensions ran high as supporters of the president, some carrying firearms, chanted "Trump won" and "We will win in court." They blamed news media outlets for declaring Biden the winner. "The media is part of the coup!" one shouted.

Wendy Williams' Son Arrested after Punching his Father
By Niyah Heaggans, DI May 23, 2019 Updated: May 24, 2019 No Comments2 Mins Read
Wendy Williams' son, Kevin Hunter Jr, was arrested on Wednesday, May 22 after punching his father, Kevin Hunter Sr, in the face.
After being married for 21 years, Wendy Williams filed for divorce from her husband on April 11th, after her husband's mistress gave birth. Williams had taken a break from her hit show, The Wendy Williams Show to focus on her health. She returned on March 4th and told her audience about the trouble in her marriage and what she has been dealing with.
Kevin Sr. served as a producer on Williams' show until she removed him. When she heard about the birth of the child, she requested all his accounts be shut down and fired him from her show. Afterwards, Kevin Sr. requested spousal support from her and that she be personally responsible for the college tuition of their son. It seems to be these requests that ignited the fight between Hunter Sr. and his son.
On Wednesday, Kevin Sr. and Jr. went to the store together and got into a fight in the parking lot of the store according to TMZ. The fight was a result of the two discussing the demand for spousal support. Kevin Sr. put Jr. in a headlock and Jr. responded by punching him in the face.
The police were called and Kevin Jr. was arrested, but no charges were filed. Kevin Sr. said, "I love my son very much and I will not be pursuing this matter legally."
Williams has stated that she wants "zero contact" with Kevin Sr. and the case of spousal support is still pending.

The Trans-European Seaport network is one of a number of the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) of the European Union.

According to Article 12 of the Decision No 1692/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 1996 on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, the Trans-European Seaport network should permit the development of sea transport, and should constitute shipping links for islands and the points of interconnection between sea transport and other modes of transport. They should also provide equipment and services to transport operators. Their infrastructure should provide a range of services for passenger and freight transport, including ferry services and short- and long-distance shipping services, which also includes coastal shipping, within the Community and between the latter and non-member countries.

The seaports included in the Trans-European Transport network must correspond to one of the following three categories:

A. International seaports: Ports with a total annual traffic volume of not less than 1.5 million tonnes of freight, or 200,000 passengers.  These ports are connected with the overland elements of the Trans-European Transport network, unless that is physically impossible, and therefore play a major role in international maritime transport. Seaports in category A are shown  on this map (13 MB), p. 93

B. Community seaports: These ports have a total annual traffic volume of not less than 0.5 million tonnes of freight or between 100,000 and 199,999 passengers, and are connected with the overland elements of the Trans-European Transport network, unless that is physically impossible, and are equipped with the necessary transhipment facilities for short-distance sea shipping.

C. Regional ports: These ports do not meet the criteria of categories A and B but are situated in island, peripheral or outermost regions, interconnecting such regions by sea and/or connecting them with the central regions of the Community.

Core ports
List of core TEN-T ports as identified in a 2010 report financed by the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport. Note that the list features port of non-EU member states such as Iceland, Norway and Turkey. Also, since 2020, the United Kingdom no longer forms part of the European Union.

This year it was on the calendar to attend the SDSU Writers' Conference, but alas a previous commitment to an annual charitable fundraiser is this weekend too. NEXT year I aim on returning (barring both events happening the same weekend), so for anyone not able to attend this weekend, make a note this conference will return in January 2011.

CF Montréal used its first round selection in the MLS SuperDraft Tuesday evening to pick Jojea Kwizera, an attacking midfielder who honed his soccer skills in a refugee camp in Tanzania.
The 22-year-old native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo was selected 15th overall in the annual draft of U.S. college players. CFM started the day with the 11th pick, but sporting director Olivier Renard swapped places with the New York Red Bulls and pocketed $100,000 in general allocation money for his troubles.

CFM also had a third-round pick and selected Ivy Brisma, a striker from North Carolina State University.
Kwizera and his older sister were separated from their parents during one of the periods of civil unrest in the Congo and were among the 800,000 Congolese who fled the country. When he was nine years old, he and his sister were relocated to Utah, where he found his identity in soccer.
He earned a scholarship to Eastern Utah University, where he had five goals and seven assists in 16 games as a freshman. He played his final two seasons at Utah Valley University, where he scored six goals and added 12 assists in 25 games.
"He is a hard-hitting player who has good speed, a left-hander who plays a daring game," Renard said in a video conference. "He's someone who is hungry for football."
Brisma, a four-year starter at N.C. State, was born in Haiti, but grew up in Philadelphia and spent five years in the Philadelphia Union Academy.
In other news, CONCACAF announced that the return leg of the first-round Champions League matchup between CFM and Mexican side Santos Laguna on Feb. 22 will start at 8 p.m at the Olympic Stadium. The game was originally scheduled for Saputo Stadium at 8:30. The first leg will be played in Torréon, Mexico, on Feb. 18.

It's always been taboo to discuss salaries at work.
In another study conducted through Amazon's Mechanical Turk platform— an online platform for recruiting for small-scale tasks — 2,000 participants were asked to complete two rounds of data entry and paid for each correct entry. After the first round, some were showed their own earnings, and some were showed their earnings plus the earnings of other participants.
John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, opened up salaries at his company more than 30 years ago.
Whole Foods was undoubtedly ahead of the curve. Burkus mentions a 2001 survey of US employers found that more than one-third had instituted policies prohibiting their workers from simply discussing salaries. And a 2010 survey by the Institute for Women's Policy Research revealed nearly half of US workers reported they were either "contractually forbidden or strongly discouraged" from discussing pay with coworkers (although, as of 2014, 10 states had passed laws protecting employees' rights to discuss salaries).
In late 2013, Buffer CEO Joel Gascoigne listed staff salaries on the company website— including his own six-figure paycheck — and the formula used to calculate those salaries.

Tie press
A tie press is a device, based solely on pressure, to flatten neckties. Its use is necessitated by ties usually being of silk or some other textile ill suited to the heat of ironing.
Tie presses usually operate based on two separate wooden boards which are clamped together with spring-loaded levers. A cardboard cut-out is usually included to retain the shape of the tie during pressing.
Tie presses are particularly useful for bow ties, due to the creasing and thus deformative nature of the bow tie knot, which involves crushing the ends to produce the 'bow' effect. In time, this crushing affects the appearance of the finished knot. This is particularly the case with bow ties with rectangular ends, rather than the 'bow' shaped ends in some bow ties, though both suffer from crushing to some degree or another. Four-in-hand ties, naturally, are also creased, but rarely to the same extent and, as such, usually require less regular pressing.

Taiwan calls on Japan to respect fishing rights in disputed waters

Taiwan called on Japan to respect the rights of Taiwan and other countries to navigate and fish

in disputed waters surrounding Okinotori in the western Pacific Ocean following the seizure and subsequent release of one of the country's fishing boats, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs April 27.
The Dong Sheng Ji No. 16, a Pingtung County, southern Taiwan-registered vessel, was detained April 25 by Japan Coast Guard while operating 150 nautical miles east-southeast of Okinotori. The fishing boat and its crew were released April 26 after payment of a 6 million yen (US$53,973) security deposit.
MOFA said the deposit paid to Japan by the ship's owner does not indicate that the government implicitly accepts Japan's claim to a 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone surrounding Okinotori.
The legal status of Okinotori has not been decided by the U.N. Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf. Japan unilaterally claims an exclusive 200-nautical-mile EEZ extending from the nine-square meter Okinotori.
During a national security meeting at the Presidential Office April 27 in Taipei City, President Ma Ying-jeou said the incident violates the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. [FULL STORY]

Bob Woodward's Obama's Wars Reviewed
Speed-read Bob Woodward's new book, Obama's Wars. Hillary's buck-passing. Petraeus' disobedience. Obama's fury. Bryan Curtis on the best moments. Plus, the most likely sources—and what's conspicuously left out.
Bryan Curtis
Updated Jul. 14, 2017 7:10PM ET / Published Sep. 22, 2010 3:59AM ET

Obama's Wars, ace reporter Bob Woodward's first book about the administration, comes out September 27. We got it early. The biggest revelations below:
What is Obama's Wars about? It's about policy making. Or, rather, a political argument. The argument is: What is America going to do in Afghanistan, and how can it do it?
That sounds awfully…bureaucratic. It is. You might expect Woodward's narrative to zip from the White House to the Tora Bora, but just about the entire book takes place in D.C. meeting rooms. As chroniclers of the Afghanistan War go, Woodward is the anti-Sebastian Junger.
We know Obama committed 30,000 new troops to Afghanistan last December, and promised to start the withdrawal in 18 months. What mystery is Woodward trying to solve? He's trying to figure out whether Obama got rolled by the military.
Did he? Woodward does not exactly say. But he demonstrates convincingly that the men in uniform—that would be David Petraeus, Stanley McChrystal, and Mike Mullen, along with Bob Gates—dangled very few battle plans in front of Obama, and used bureaucratic jujitsu to make sure he didn't see others. For example, Obama never had a fully fleshed-out proposal for sending fewer than 30,000 new troops to Afghanistan. And even the final proposal he crafted himself, lowering the military's demands a tad. As Petraeus says, after being informed of a slight from Pennsylvania Avenue, "They're fucking with the wrong guy."
How'd they get away with it? In addition to being master bureaucratic infighters, the generals are genius P.R. men. Woodward recounts scene after scene of Petraeus talking to the press when he's specifically been ordered to stand down. Once, just before a Situation Room meeting with Obama, he made a surprise CNN appearance from the White House briefing room.
What's my news headline when it comes out September 27? "AIDES DON'T BUY AFGHAN PLAN."
Holbrooke says the war plan "won't work." Petraeus, who's now running the Afghan effort, says, "You have to recognize that I don't think you can win this war. I think you keep fighting." ( See The Times for more.)
Did Woodward snag an Obama interview? He got an hour and fifteen minutes in July.
And how does Obama come off? In the book's opening pages, which take place around the 2008 election, he seems beleaguered. "You know, I've been worried about losing this election," Obama tells an intelligence chief. "After talking to you guys, I'm worried about winning this election."
"We were dealt a very bad hand," he says later. Obama seems finally to be seeing the dog's breakfast he inherited.
• Leslie H. Gelb: Burned By Woodward's FireCritics who accuse Obama of being Spock-like with his emotions will find plenty of fodder here. "[John] Podesta was not sure that Obama felt anything, especially in his gut," Woodward writes. Obama is portrayed as a deliberate consensus-seeker, insistent on hearing months of proposals. In that sense, he probably has more patience than the reader.
We know the Woodward method. Those who tattle get better treatment. Who wins Obama's Wars? James Jones, the national security advisor, is treated with kid gloves. You might remember Jones as the guy one of Stanley McChrystal's aides called a "clown" in that infamous Rolling Stone article. But here Jones is smart, determined, and sensitive to bureaucratic reverberations. He's allowed to blast his enemies more than he is blasted—the sign you've made it in Woodward book.
Joe Biden also makes out like a bandit. In one of the book's very best scenes, he's shown confronting Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, at a state dinner. Biden smothers Karzai with contempt disguised as diplomatic grace, right in front of the guy's entire cabinet. That account—presumably supplied by Biden—gives the veep weight that his media portrait has thus far lacked.
Other likely babblers: Lindsey Graham, Bob Gates, and Leon Panetta.
Which Obamaite comes off like a real tool?Poor Dick Holbrooke. His turn as special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan was to be a diplomatic victory lap. "It wasn't until well into the Obama presidency," Woodward writes, "that Holbrooke learned definitively how much the president didn't care for him." In a revealing anecdote, Holbrooke asks Obama to call him "Richard" rather than "Dick." For some reason, Obama finds the request highly bizarre and, in Woodward's telling, repeats the story of Holbrooke's pathetic plea around the White House.
Does anyone go the full McChrystal and napalm their career? For his studly portrayal, James Jones comes pretty close. He blasts Rahm and Co. as the "water bugs," the Mafia," and the "Politburo." "There are too many senior aides around the president," Jones says to somebody.
Jones thinks Rahm is a weenie who hides behind Obama's opinions. He thinks Gates is always positioning himself to be on the side of the victors. He feels the administration killed his friendship with Gen. Anthony Zinni. I could go on. You doubt Jones is long for the administration.
You haven't said much about Hillary. She must have hidden under a desk when Woodward went to Foggy Bottom. Perhaps she's still smarting from The Choice. There's one killer scene: While the senior staff is formulating the war policy, she tells Obama, "Mr. President, the dilemma you face…" Everybody in the room notices the pronoun.
There are some other principals who barely made the book. Rahm graces us with only a few cuss words. Michelle is missing, along with Tim Geithner, Larry Summers, Arne Duncan, Jon Favreau, and anybody else who wasn't directly involved in Obama's foreign policy.
It sounds like Obama's Wars is a tiny keyhole into Obamaland. It's narrower still. Woodward is so focused on the White House dealings that he never backs up and asks the obvious question: How did Obama get himself committed to the Afghan War to begin with? A lot of us suspected that during the campaign, Obama's support of a ramp-up was thrown in to make him look hawkish as he advocated for drawing down in Iraq. I never thought he was particularly convincing, anyway. Yet Woodward treats it as a fait accompli that Obama would pursue it.
Ironically, that's the one question it would have been easiest to answer.
Other complaints?Outside of the Woodward cocktail of unnamed sources? The heart of the book takes place during several meetings in 2009. As you might imagine when politicians and bureaucrats get together, things get discussed. And discussed. And discussed some more. Some of it gets rather turgid, even given the remarkable ability of the participants to recreate exact bits of dialogue. Unlike some of Woodward's Bush volumes, it feels like a book written for history rather than for reading.
How about a few more Woodward smart bombs?1. The CIA has a secret, 3,000-person army in Afghanistan.
2. There was a threat of a Somali terrorist plot at Obama's inaugural.
3. David Axelrod said Obama picked North Carolina to win the 2009 NCAA basketball tournament for political reasons. (He might have been kidding.)
4. Mike Mullen emasculates David Petraeus in front of the president when the latter tries to circulate a memo.
5. Obama to Lindsey Graham, on why he installed a deadline for Afghanistan: "I have to say that. I can't let this be a war without end, and I can't lose the whole Democratic Party."
One last bit of cattiness, please. Woodward gets his hands on a secret document prepared by Stanley McChrystal. It results in a big exclusive on the front page of The Washington Post on September 21, 2009. Then Woodward adds, "Within a few minutes, The New York Times all but copied the story almost paragraph for paragraph."
By the way, how'd you get your hands on the book? I walked into a New York bookstore, saw it placed prematurely on the shelf, and paid $30 for it. Take that, Woodward.

Are the advertisers here all legit?
Okay I just started clicking on all of the advertisements on this site to help the purseforum out with expanding it's server and clicked on the one for BERGACCI and they have Lv, Chanel, Chloe, Gucci, Coach, Dior, Fendi, etc. and the prices are all lower that elswhere. I was chekcing out the LV's and was getting pretty excited as most of them were at least $200 and some almost half of the regular price then it dawned on me that I have read several times that ELuxery is THE ONLY on line seller of authentic LV's. So is Bergacci legit? Surely anyone who lists here is okay to buy from and if so, have we all been missing out or what!
So are they a go or a no go? anyone buy form them or have heard anything about them before?
i think how it works is that Vlad and Meg get a very small commission each time one of the google advertisements are clicked, that money goes towards the server. Unfortunately, they can't pick who can advertise on their site, so you get the good with the bad.
Neither do I. I believe by adding the Advertisement function, Google searches and automatically puts those ads here that have similar themes as ours.
have you bought a bag from them bittermoon?
Here's a great bag from one of the advertisers!
:blink: My favorite one is the blue!
purseme.com obviously is not a legit company though.
The problem is that the ads that are displayed up top are automatically generated dependent on what contents are shown on the page. In theory, it works wonderfully. Unfortunately, we have little influence on what companies advertise through Google. I try to filter out the bad from the good, but as there are floods and floods of new advertisers coming in on a daily basis, it's hard to keep up. Plus I am not allowed to really click the ads myself, because it violated their TOS.

Bergacci is not legit at all!!! Only reason why no one does anything about it cuz the site is located in Hong Kong, China.
If it's too good to be true then it is obviously not. I was so exited when I discovered bergacci.com. Although I had doubts but I couldn't help myself. Therefore, I am so regretted. The LV purse model that I ordered is the Pochette Bosphore. Boy! Was I disappointed when I opened up the package after waiting for 1 week.:sad2: The purse came out to be totally FAKE!!!:evil: The zipper was defected. The monogram was a blurrrr. The gold buckles were cheezy b/c of its glossy look. The fabric lining was not sewn-in properly. The dimension was totally off. The reason I found all these flaws was b/c I recognized how tackyyy it looked when I tried it on and was so pisssed. So I immediately went to Saks Fifth to purchase the same purse for comparison. These are the facts and it's not worth the time and trouble regardless what the discounted price is. The real LV that I bought at Saks was flawless and definitely worth it. If you're brave enough experiment it yourself.:suspiciou THIS WEBSITE SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE EXPOSE!!!!!!!!!


If your own skin loses its charm, you may even lose your personality. Therefore, it is important to keep your skin healthy and safe from early aging. There are many skin care treatments that are available in the market but the question is how many of them work? The fact is whatever the product says, it completely depends on you as the product may work only if you remain healthy and exercise regularly.There are many treatments that promise to give you nice fresh skin, to protect you from sun light and UV rays, pollution and even make your skin oil-free. But many of the products work only for some skin types. These products have such chemicals that react directly inside your skin to give a glow and age lift from inside. Some may get negative effects if their skin is sensitive from inside or allergic to some chemicals. You need to look deep into skin care treatments to find the best one. For now, you can easily divide them into three categories: market available products, clinic treatments and natural products.
First, the market available products are very familiar to almost everyone. Many say they work wonders and some may say they are just priced high because of their name but don't work at all. Well, to be true it works only if the user has full instructions to use it. There are different products or you can say serums that have got nice reviews like elite eye serum, it is said to be very popular in removing wrinkles from the sides of the eyes. There are creams that clear the wrinkles from forehead and sides of the lips and under eyes. But the fact is that the skin care treatments are very annoying and has many hassles that most can't continue it for more than 2 weeks and plus no age lift cream or serum will be economical.Next are the clinical skin care treatments which are very common once people get tired of paying high prices for the marketed products. It includes Botox, surgeries, etc. One fact and truth about it is, it will be very costly and it would only stay for 1-3 months; its sure that you won't run back to get it done due to the price. But at the same time, it helps in lifting the wrinkles and clears them by tightening the skin using injections which is a disadvantage as it hurts a lot.
The last category in skin care treatments are the natural treatments. In this, mainly they use natural products to give a glow to your skin and make you younger than your age. It is done by making your skin clear and removing all the toxins from the upper and lower layers of skin. This will provide oxygen to your skin so that your skin can breathe and have clear pores. Like collagen is important for your skin to make it wrinkle free and therefore, Cynergy TK is one way that can help your skin to produce collagen inside your body to make your skin new and glow. Nano-lipobelle HEQ10 is also one may to get antioxidants in your body. Trying homeopathic medicines may also help. Most say and believe they are the safest as no such visible side-effects have been seen.

Q: Submitting and Handing Dynamic Form I have a dynamic form as in this image . As you can see in second row + button allows to add more rows . There are different type of email subscriptions here . I need to be able to save this form and know what type of subject and how many emails were subscribed and frequency for each type .People can add many rows and can delete any random one . How do I process that in backend ? Here is sample of what form may look like .
As you can see I can have say 5 sub-rows for biology and user may than delete 2nd row and add a 6th row . How do I figure that out based on form and delete it on backend and add new row ? I am using java(jsp) and mysql .

A: I would say that either you want to do a lot of scripting on client side (jQuery, Prototype) or use GWT. In your situation I would use GWT as it's easier to develop in Java and not worry about browser compatibility in such simple case.

A: I strongly suggest to use JSF and something like PrimeFaces. There are excellent examples like in cell data table editing. It will also offer you lots of Ajax possibilities without the need to code any Javascript.
If you are want to stay away from JSF I can also recommend Playframework. It also comes with excellent examples like a classic CRUD application, backed by a JDBC database.

Sea anemones keep on stinging swallowed fish to digest them
Not Exactly Rocket ScienceBy Ed YongDecember 10, 2008 7:30 PM
Pity the small fish snagged by a sea anemone. Blundering into the waving tentacles, the fish is stung by hundreds of tiny harpoons shot out from stinging cells, each one loaded with potent venom. It is paralysed and moved towards the anemone's 'mouth', which lies in the centre of its tentacles and also doubles as its anus. The fish is swallowed and , but its ignominious fate doesn't end there. The anemone's internal cavity (which passes for its stomach) is also lined with thousands of stinging cells so that even after it's been swallowed, the fish continues to be stung.
The sea anemone is a member of a 10,000-strong group of simple animals called the cnidarians, whose ranks also include jellyfish and corals. Every one of them has stinging cells called nematocysts and each of these consists of a capsule with a folded, pointed tube. The fluid in the capsule is kept under high pressure, so that the slightest disturbance causes the entire tube to turn inside out and shoot outwards with an acceleration over five million times that of gravity. At the point of impact, the harpoon exerts as much pressure as a bullet.
Not only does it inject the prey with venom, but the small harpoon fixes it to the tentacle, preventing it from escaping and dying elsewhere. But they have a third purpose too - according to new work from Ami Schlesinger from Tel Aviv University, they help to digest the prey.
Cnidarians face a problem when it comes to digestion. They are soft-bodied animals that lack any hard parts like teeth or gizzards for crunching through the hard coatings of their prey, from shelled crustaceans to scaly fish. Nor can they use an acid-filled sac like our stomach - cnidarians have a single internal cavity that plays a part in digesting food, absorbing nutrients, exchanging gases, excreting waste and providing structural support. It's the equivalent of multiple human organs and one that is basically an extension of the local seawater, periodically emptying and refilling itself.
Schlesinger fed small sea-bream larvae to the sea anemone Aiptasia diaphana. After the fish had been swallowed, she froze and dissected the anemones and found that they had wrapped the fish with small, thread-like tentacles called acontia. These filaments are found within the anemone's cavity and they clearly pierced the fish with several nematocysts - if their stinging cells were stained blue, the colour soon spread to the fish's body.
They acontia released at least five different digestive enzymes into the fish, designed to break down its fatty acids and its blood cells. They do their jobs well - when Schelsinger placed fish larvae in plastic dishes containing acontia taken from a sea anemone, the isolated tentacles soon killed the fish and started to disintegrate its body.
Sea anemones can sometimes stick their acontia through their body walls, leading some scientists to believe that their purpose is to defend the animal's vulnerable flanks. But Schelsinger is the first to show that the acontia are also essentially digestive organs. It's their chemical attack that allows an animal with no hard, chewing mouthparts to break down the body of a tougher meal. And because the stinging cells are sheathed until a meal arrives, the rest of the anemone's cavity isn't normally disrupted by the presence of digestive fluids.

Resounding banality #1
As this is ostensibly a science communication blog, I'm going to occasionally pull out bits of papers that are either well written or horrendously badly written. I particularly hate the brand of completely pointless sentence that litters the introductions of academic papers, which really add nothing to the content of the paper. To compound the literary crime, they also tend to be shrouded in overblown language which attempts to hide their lack of content in a cloak of syllables. They're what legendary science writer Peter Medawar called "resounding banalities".
Here's the first, from this paper: "In cnidarians, as in all other venomous animals, the stinging apparatus actively translocates venom compounds away from the originator and into an external target". Which means "The stings of venomous animals inject venom into other animals". There's no other information there except possibly that the general direction of the venom's movement in relation to the stinger is "away".

All 20 Premier League clubs ranked by the market value of their squads
The Premier League can boast some of the richest players and clubs in the world, but the disparity between rich and poor has arguably never been greater.
The most valuable squad in the league, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk, is worth nearly 20 times the least valuable. That might be what you'd expect, but it's also four times as valuable as any team outside the top seven – and 10 times as valuable as four Bundesliga teams, six in Serie A and eight in La Liga.
Here's the Premier League's 20 squads ranked from least to most valuable. It's worth noting that market value and what a player is likely to sell for are two very different things.
20. Sheffield United (£82.31m)
This shouldn't come as much as a surprise, seeing as the newly-promoted club didn't spend heaps of money and still boast a handful of players from their League One days.
The Blades' entire squad is valued at £82.31m, with summer signing Oli McBurnie top of the tree at £10.8m and John Lundstram – scorer of the winner against Crystal Palace – among several players valued at less than £2m.
19. Norwich City (£109.44m)
Norwich spent very little after returning to the Premier League, but the presence of young talents with huge upsides see their squad valued at £109.44million
22-year-old Emi Buendia is their most valuable player at £16.2m, ahead of Teemu Pukki at £8.1m.
18. Aston Villa (£171.90m)
The third promoted team rounds out the bottom three, despite Villa's hefty spend over the summer.
Their most valuable player is £22.5m Jack Grealish, closely followed by summer arrival Wesley (£18m), with Henri Lansbury (£1.35m) are down the other end.
17. Burnley (£178.88m)
Chris Wood and defender James Tarkowski are Burnley's highest-valued players at £16.2m, but only two others, Jack Cork an Dwight McNeil, both of whom are valued at £13.5m, come in at more than £10m.
As with many other clubs, back-up goalkeepers take the bottom spots. In the Clarets' case that's Bailey Peacock-Farrell – who impressed for Northern Ireland in their Euro qualifier against Germany – and backup-to-the-backups Adam Legzdins.
16. Brighton (£195.39m)
Captain Lewis Dunk is Brighton's most valuable player at £18m, ahead of summer signing Neal Maupay (£16.2m) and Leandro Trossard (£14.4m).
Andrew Crofts (£315k) is unsurprisingly down at the bottom. The 35-year-old joined over the summer in a player-coach role and it would be a surprise to see him in Premier League action any time soon.
15. Watford (£212.72m)
Record signing Ismaila Sarr is one of three players valued at more than £20m, along with Abdoulaye Doucouré and Gerard Deulofeu, while back-up goalkeepers Heurelho Gomes, Pontus Dahlberg and Daniel Bachmann are among those bringing up the rear.
14. Crystal Palace (£212.90m)
Wilfried Zaha (£49.5m) tops the charts at almost three times the value of any other Palace player, with Luka Milivojević clear in second (£18m).
Among those with first-team minutes in the 2019-20 season, Martin Kelly and Connor Wickham are down the bottom, both with a £2.7m market value. Kelly's fellow defenders Scott Dann and Joel Ward aren't much higher up.
13. Southampton (£213.30m)
Southampton's squad is another valued at a little over £200m, with the departure of Mario Lemina and Wesley Hoedt helping bring the average down. There are still a few players in the £15m-20m bracket, though, with Jannik Vestergaard and Nathan Redmond (both £18m) topping the pile.
Those with the lowest market value are both academy players, with Sam McQueen clocking in at £900k and Michael Obafemi at £1.8m.
12. Newcastle United (£246.22m)
Three recent big-money signings account for £72million on their own, with record buy Joelinton (£31.5m) relegating Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almirón to the podium places.
The lower-ranked players include one man who has to be a leading candidate for the 'I didn't know he was still there' award: £900k-rated winger Henri Saivet, who was signed by Steve McClaren back in January 2016.
11. Wolves (£300.38m)
£40m signing Raúl Jiménez isn't at the top – his market value is a mere £31.5m, but Rubén Neves is up there on £45m.
Most of the lower-valued players are yet to play for the first-team.
10. Bournemouth (£300.83m)
Fans of uniformity will be delighted to know the Cherries' squad includes not one but three players valued at £27m: Callum Wilson, Ryan Fraser and David Brooks.
They are not the most valuable players, though – that honour goes to Nathan Aké at £31.5m.
9. West Ham United (£313.88m)
West Ham's squad seems thin to the point of irresponsibility after a number of summer sales, with their squad valued at more than £50m less than Leicesters but carrying a higher average per player.
Declan Rice (£45m) has the highest market value, closely followed by Felipe Anderson and Sébastien Haller, while third-choice goalkeeper David Martin (£225k) brings up the rear.
8. Leicester City (£369.23m)
Leicester's midfield stars account for more than £100m of their squad's market value, with James Maddison and Youri Tielemans (both £40.5m) ahead of Wilfred Ndidi (£31.5m).
Veterans Wes Morgan and Eldin Jakupovic are down the bottom along with Matty James and Bartosz Kapustka, neither of whom featured in the Premier League last season.
7. Everton (£455.4m)
Everton have packed their squad with highly-valued players, as well as failing to shift some expensive fringe players, and this leaves the Toffees with a squad worth £455.4m.
Summer signing Moise Kean (£36m) is third behind £45m-valued RIcharlison and £36m Jordan Pickford, while forgotten men Cuco Martina and Maarten Stekelenburg are down at the bottom.
6. Arsenal (£615.38m)
Despite their squad being valued at a hefty £615m, Arsenal still trail their top-six rivals by some distance in this regard.
No prizes for guessing the top three, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Lacazette inseparable at £63m, just behind Nicolas Pépé (£67.5m).
5. Manchester United (£677.93m)
Only Manchester City have spent more over the past five years than the Red Devils, but that's not reflected in the value of their squad as it stands, with four teams ahead of them.
It's no surprise that their record signing, Paul Pogba, remains their most valuable asset at £90m. Their second most valuable asset is homegrown talent Marcus Rashford, valued at £72m.
4. Chelsea (£726.3m)
N'Golo Kante (£90m) is the Blues' most valuable player following the departure of Eden Hazard, with Jorginho, Kepa and Christian Pulisic all coming in at over £50m.
Willy Cabellero brings up the rear at £900k.
3. Tottenham Hotspur (£885.6m)
Three players alone make up more than a third of this total – Harry Kane (£135m), Christian Eriksen (£90m) and Dele Alli (£81m) – while Heung-min Son (£72m) and summer signing Tanguy Ndombele (£58.5m) account for another £130m.
At the other end, apart from back-up keeper Paulo Gazzaniga at £1.8m, even the fringe players have got decent values, with Oliver Skipp next at £7.2m.
2. Liverpool (£965.03m)
Somewhat surprisingly, Virgil van Dijk (£90m is only third on the list, behind Mo Salah (£135m) and Sadio Mané (£108m).
Alisson, Roberto Firmino and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all valued at £72m, with Andrew Robertson (£54m) the only other player said to be worth £50m+.

Amazon is wreaking havoc on the environment, and its delivery vehicles are generating untold amounts of greenhouse gases, ozone and particulate matter.

Interview with Leo Martinez
By Laife Janovyak
50 years ago, the Cuyahoga River suffered its final industrial river fire, and the nation read about it in Time Magazine. Out of this depiction, a deeply negative regional identity was born, one that stubbornly clings to Cleveland regardless of its historical half-truthfulness. Despite the reality that the same thing happens on industrial rivers elsewhere then and now, and that the blaze was nowhere near the first or even the largest fire to burn on the Cuyahoga, Cleveland became known as "the mistake on the lake."

Amazon, long known for its low pay and bad labor practices at the company's fulfillment centers, is starting to feel some heat. One of the largest trade unions in the United Kingdom, GMB, is staging ongoing protests, the SEIU has launched a "Warehouse Workers Stand Up" campaign in New Jersey and Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced the Stop BEZOS Act. The legislation would recapture the hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars provided by the US Treasury for health coverage, food stamps and other government payments to Amazon workers.

An interview by Jess Clarke with Leo Martinez Macias
As the online retail market continues to expand, massive warehouse and distribution facilities are being plopped down in communities already overburdened by hazardous wastes, industrial and agricultural pollution. In Fresno California the city council recently permitted three million square feet of construction in what the California EPA measures as the most environmentally burdened census tract in California. Neighbors weren't notified about the project until construction had already begun. Jess Clarke sat down with a local resident, and an attorney advocate who have been battling this new pollution source in their community.

Governor Brown is Not Green
California EJ Communities Bear Brunt of Bad Policies
At the Paris climate summit, California Governor Jerry Brown played up his reputation as a progressive visionary—one of America's most experienced politicians on environmental issues. He met with world leaders, did a photo-op with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and gave a speech to graduate students about climate awareness, saying, "we're talking about a different kind of life, a life not based on oil, and a life not based on so much emphasis on the individual as opposed to the common good."1

Farmworkers—The Basis and Bottom of the Food Chain
By Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern and Christy Getz
Events in recent years have triggered a reawakening across the United States of a movement that acknowledges the importance of worker rights and of protecting the livelihoods of this country's working class. Historically, however, one group of workers has routinely been excluded from the gains made by the larger labor movement, i.e. farmworkers—the people who weed, pick, harvest, and pack, often in 100 degree weather, while routinely being exposed to hazardous chemicals.
Approximately 700,000 farmworkers reside in California at any given time. Farm employment is unstable and the average farmworker is employed for only seven months of the year (nine months in California). For female workers the employment season is even shorter. Jobs are scarce, even during high season. In California, about 350,000 jobs are available from April to October and 275,000 from November to March. Historically, migrant workers returned home during the winter months. However, with the increased militarization of the border, this practice has become harder and many migrants remain in the U.S. out of fear even in the rainy season when they have little or no income. And although a majority of farmworkers are male, women and children are increasingly crossing the border and entering the workforce, as men can no longer maintain a seasonal migration.

Transforming a Movement (1991
Reprinted from Race, Poverty & the Environment (RP&E) 1992.
By Dana Alston
Rarely do people get the opportunity to participate in historic events. But each of the 300 African, Latino, Native and Asian Americans from all 50 states who gathered for the first National People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit in late October must have left with a sense that the atmosphere in which environmental issues are debated and resolved is changed for good. And for the better.
