Facebook Takes a Stab at Removing Bad Actors
Fool Zuck twice, shame on him
By Neal Freyman
@neal_freyman |
"Fool me twice, shame on me."—Facebook, probably. Zuck's team deleted dozens of accounts reminiscent of Russian interference tactics from its Facebook and Instagram platforms this week.
Facebook axed 32 accounts found to be involved in "coordinated inauthentic behavior." They'd amassed 290,000+ followers in 9,500+ posts since getting started back in March 2017.
Casualties included "Aztlan Warriors," "Black Elevation," "Mindful Being," and "Resisters"
Facebook said it's not sure who's behind the coordinated efforts, but "it's clear that whoever set up these accounts went to much greater lengths to obscure their true identities than the Russian-based Internet Research Agency has in the past."
Remember: About five months ago, Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted Russian firm Internet Research Agency—an operation that manipulated Facebook and other social platforms to influence the 2016 presidential election.
The deleted pages ran ~150 ads on FB and Insta, and created ~30 events starting in May 2017 (the largest event had 4,700 accounts interested in attending).
Facebook said the "Resisters" page created and promoted a protest planned for Aug. 10-12 called "No Unite the Right 1—DC." It was slated to take place the same weekend as the "Unite the Right" protest.
The now-deleted pages took enormous care to cover their tracks—they used virtual-private networks, internet phone services, and third-party purchases to stay undercover.
Facebook: "We face determined, well-funded adversaries who will never give up and are constantly changing tactics. It's an arms race and we need to constantly improve, too."
Facebook shared findings with Congress, law enforcement, and other tech companies. Sen. Mark Warner (the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee) pinned it on Russia:
Zoom out: The move comes <100 days before midterm elections and reeks of outside interference in the U.S. electoral system.

Charles Willson Peale was a reputable American artist and naturalist, best remembered for his portraiture of leading personalities of the American Revolution, as well as for instituting one of the very first museums.
Born in Chester, Maryland, Charles became a saddle maker's apprentice when just 13 and established his own venture upon reaching maturity. However, the business failed after his creditors who were Loyalists, conspired against him for being a member of the conflicting Sons of Liberty group. Around this time, Peale discovered his flair for painting, particularly portraits, and took up art studies under John Hesselius and John Singleton Copley, both prominent portraitists of the times. Realizing his prodigious talent, several benevolent plantation owners from Maryland amassed enough funds to send him to London in 1767 for formal artistic education and training. Arriving in London, Peale studied under Benjamin West, the eminent Anglo-American historical painter, whose influence would reveal itself throughout Peale's career.
After a couple of years, Peale returned to his native land and commenced painting, and soon established a flourishing practice. To enjoy the fruits of his labor and to cultivate his interest in Revolutionary politics, he moved residence to Philadelphia. He became actively involved in politics as a member of the Whig party, and as a Philadelphia militia soldier, fought in the freedom battles. During the course of the battles, Peale drew sketches of the soldiers and later used them to execute larger versions. For the very first time, George Washington, then a colonel of the First Virginia Regiment, sat for a portrait by Peale. In the times that followed, Peale painted portraits of many more notable Americans, as well as foreign personalities, including those of Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, and Nathanael Greene.
A man of many interests, Peale founded the Philadelphia Museum of Natural History and Art in pursuit of his passion for naturalism; the institution soon became prominent and popular, leaving less time for Peale to paint. Peale's expedition in collaboration with the American Philosophical Society and supported by President Jefferson, excavated the skeletal remain of the first mastodon in New York state; the exercise became a valued addition to American scientific movement. The reconstructed skeleton put on display at the museum served as a subject for Peale's renowned "Exhumation of a Mastodon". A gifted inventor, Peale had many patents to his name for a diverse collection of devices that ranged from innovative bridge designs to a letter copying polygraph.
Towards the end of his life, he devoted himself almost exclusively to his family, teaching his children art, three of whom became successful painters in their own right.

The "transition" stage of labor is the final stage before delivery. During this stage, you will experience very strong contractions 60 to 90 seconds long every few minutes and your cervix opens to eight to 10 centimeters. When your midwife or physician instructs you, you will go through a series of pushing and breathing techniques (often outlined in our childbirth classes). From here, it may take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours until your baby is delivered.
The moment your baby arrives is likely to be one of the most profoundly beautiful moments in you and your family's lives.
Immediately upon arrival, your new baby will be handed to you for skin-to-skin contact. This skin-to-skin contact, also known as kangaroo contact, has many advantages and health benefits for both mom and baby. With this skin-to-skin contact, the naked baby rests on the mother's bare chest directly after birth, allowing the bonding process to begin.
Skin-to-skin contact may also help babies be more alert and cry less often. These benefits can even be seen when skin-to-skin contact is given for only a few minutes each day. Moms who have skin-to-skin contact with their babies also have improved breast milk production and are more successful with breastfeeding. This closeness helps mom and baby become familiar with each other and find their special breastfeeding rhythm.
Place your baby on their belly on your bare chest with your baby's head turned to one side.
Cover your baby's back with a blanket.
At UPMC Susquehanna, we recommend at least one hour of uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby immediately after delivery, regardless of the feeding method and until the first feeding occurs for breastfeeding babies. After the initial skin-to-skin bonding, mother and baby can then be transported together to the postpartum room.
Once in your postpartum room, your baby will be with you and will "room-in" with you throughout your stay. All routine assessments and procedures can be done in the postpartum room. There is always a nurse available to assist with newborn care and settling your baby. Rooming-in is encouraged throughout your stay, day and night, for all stable moms and babies. Twenty-four hour rooming-in with your baby fosters bonding, you will learn your baby's feeding cues and become comfortable with your baby's care.
Some procedures like circumcision and hearing screens will require your baby to leave the nursery for a short while. However, you will be able to hold your baby shortly after and continue the bonding process.
We recommend balancing time spent between visiting with family and friends and adequate rest periods for optimal bonding and feeding.
As part of the bonding process, we offer one congratulatory special meal for the new family during their stay, which can be scheduled for the family's convenience. This gourmet experience is one of the highlights of your stay here at either of our maternity units. We take your families' needs into consideration as well, whether it be dietary restrictions, preferences or Kosher meals. Learn more about our amenities.
UPMC Susquehanna is dedicated to offering quality care and attention to help you and your baby bond after labor in Williamsport and Wellsboro, PA, and the surrounding areas.


I'm just a layman when it comes to the art of samurai. I've read a few books — Book of Five Rings, Musashi, Art of War, The Unfettered Mind — and even took a class in stage samurai called Tate where we learned the earth, tiger and dragon katas. Very recently, I learned there were two ancestors of mine who were "adopted" by the Tokunaga family and trained as samurai. Not that this means something, but being Japanese, for many, means figuring out where your family was in the feudal class structure. If one of them was a samurai, you rock!
I happened to view this awesome film by Takeshi Fukunaga on one of the last living master swordmakers in Japan, Korehira Watanabe, and it reminds me of why I value those who are able to reach a mastery of any given subject. Japanese craftsmen take it to a different level, of course, by mastering one craft throughout their lifetime, and then handing that tradition to someone else who will hand it someone else.
I love that stuff. And I think many people do, even those of us who are so far removed from the Japanese culture, myself included.
Back in the feudal era of Japan, there was a samurai economy. Samurai collected a certain stipend from their lord's estate, often in the form of rice, barley or some other valued commodity. They, in turn, could use their salary to cultivate the many things that would suit a samurai: geisha, tea ceremonies, sharpening their swords, chats with zen monks, studying the art of war, calligraphy, ikebana, landscaping, sculpturing, painting, etc.
There's a passage in Unfettered Mind that goes against popular Western thinking, particularly in self-help books. While most self-help books say that anyone can do anything, Unfettered Mind says that it takes so much effort and discipline to become a samurai, most people will never achieve this super status. Or, more pointedly, of all the things it takes to become a samurai, mostly likely you do not possess it.
This sort of thinking is perhaps the essence of the Japanese craftsmen. They continue to hone their skills, never satisfied with their last achievement. Those who could afford it would patronize these master craftsmen, who would in turn patronize other master craftspeople. When you were in that downstream of wealth, you were in the samurai economy. And the very bottom of that stream would, I suppose, be the peasants.
I'm not really sure why I wrote this entry, other than the idea that the video above sparked an old flicker I use to have when it came to doing things. That is, doing things the right way, or not doing them at all. But if you committed to doing it, you committed to doing it for a lifetime.
Earlier on my way to work today, I made a little prayer asking why it is that I no longer have the burning desire to accomplish something beyond myself right now. Not in acting, writing or anything else. It's probably because my ideology has changed, that's for certain, but there must be something else to it. I hope to figure it out soon enough — both what I'd like to accomplish and why I don't have this feeling anymore.
Miyamoto Musashi, in Book of Five Rings, said that once you master one thing, you master all things. He certainly was a living example of this, as he was a gifted sculptor, painter, philosopher, and landscaper in addition to being a master samurai. I've studied a lot of things, but I sure haven't mastered any of them. Perhaps it's time to focus on one of them.
Hey buddy, my Grandfather's last name was Tokunaga. I wonder if they are the same.
Your ojiisan is probably from the same prefecture, but it is possible to be from the same family or bloodline.
I once went to Yokohama to pay a visit to my mom's old schoolmate. Took hours to find the house, because everyone in her neighborhood had the same last name. Some were even related but they never talked to each other.
Last names apparently were used to indicate what area you were from, but not necessarily what bloodline. You have to do your family tree for that kind of info.
Incidentally, my last name, Goto, is as common in Japan as Smith is here.

For an incredible value, you'll get your choice of starting heroes, alternate costumes spanning Marvel's expansive history, special game boosts, and more!
The packs are available for an unspecified limited time, but if the offer's "estimated value" notes are any indication, players might be able to pay for similar content at a higher rate when the game's released... in case you aren't ready to commit to paying for content from the final version of a game you haven't played just yet.

Home Politics Trump Has Been The Best President For Afroamericans – But Not For...
Trump Has Been The Best President For Afroamericans – But Not For The Reasons He Thinks
hqanon
For close to four years, Donald Trump has claimed that he has done more for black Americans than any president since Abraham Lincoln. He notes the unemployment rate, opportunity zones, and the First Step Act, while ignoring the actions of presidents like Harry Truman, who integrated the military, and Lyndon Johnson, who signed the Civil Rights Act into law.
Surprisingly, however, Trump is not exactly wrong. He has been one of the best presidents for black Americans, just not for the reasons he thinks.
Unemployment rate for African Americans went as low as 5.5% in September last year – the lowest figure recorded since the US Department of Labor started collecting these statistics in the 1970s.
In 2019, the latest data available, the African-American poverty rate was 18.8% – which is the lowest on record, beating the previous year, since the official count began in the 1960s.
The policies that Trump has put forth have unquestionably helped African Americans. He recently signed an executive order on police reform and earlier signed the First Step Act into law. The measure reforms the criminal justice system and has resulted in the release of thousands of people from prison (90 percent of whom are Black).
The president has also promoted Opportunity Zones, which incentivize private investment into marginalized communities.
In addition, Trump has increased federal funding for historically Black colleges and universities by 17 percent to a total exceeding $100 million — more than any president in history.
President Barack Obama, meanwhile, infamously removed funds from a program created by the George W. Bush that annually funded $85 million directly to these prized institutions.
Trump also recently unveiled his Platinum Plan, which pledges to create 3 million new jobs in the Black community, open 500,000 new Black-owned businesses, and increase Black Americans' access to capital by almost $500 billion over the next four years. Plus, want to designate the Ku Klux Klan as a terrorist group — something that President Obama never did.
Biden's riddled history with harming policies for the Afro-Americans
On the other hand, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a history riddled with policies that have harmed African Americans.
For example, the 1994 crime law, which Biden helped author when he was a senator, incentivized local police departments to conduct more aggressive patrolling, creating mass incarceration of African Americans.
Biden was also directly responsible for a provision of a 1986 law involving crack cocaine, which came to be viewed as one of the most racially discriminatory sentencing policies on record. The law treated crack cocaine as significantly worse than powder cocaine. It ended up disproportionately punishing African Americans and sending them to prison, while allowing more lenient treatment for White Americans, who more often used cocaine in its powdered form.
During the presidential primaries, some prominent African Americans — including radio show host Charlamagne tha God — complained that Biden doesn't have a plan for Black Americans.
But that doesn't matter to Biden, who thinks Black voters should vote for him simply because he's a Democrat, regardless of whether his policies benefit them. Or, as he said in May: "If you've got a problem figuring out whether you're for me or for Trump, then you ain't Black."

The Bonifacio Transport Corporation, or more commonly known as BGC Bus or formerly The Fort Bus, is an intercity bus company in Metro Manila, the Philippines, serving routes that connect Makati, Bonifacio Global City, and Taguig.

The company is a subsidiary of the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC), an affiliate company under the Ayala Corporation. The bus system uses the Beep contactless smart card as a mode of electronic payment.

History

Founded in 1998, the Bonifacio Transport Corporation was established under the Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation (FBDC). It was formed through an initial fleet of 24 buses — 10 of which are Mercedes-Benz buses and the rest are Nissan Diesel units — as an intercity transport system to and from the adjacent business districts of Bonifacio Global City and Ayala Center.

In 2008, six Mercedes-Benz O500M 1725 buses were deployed by FBDC, followed by an additional 14 buses to keep up with passenger demand. In the same year, HM Transport Inc. and the Bonifacio Transport Corporation signed an agreement, allowing the use of HM Transport buses to serve routes to and from Bonifacio Global City. As a result, a weekday bus route between the Market! Market! shopping mall in Taguig, EDSA, and Kalayaan Avenue was established.

In 2016, the BGC Bus replaced its TapBGC contactless smart card with AF Payments Inc's Beep card. A limited public trial was conducted from June 11 to 26, and was fully rolled out on June 27, 2016.

Fleet

Bonifacio Transport Corp. utilizes and maintains UD Nissan Diesel, Mercedes-Benz and Higer buses.

Zicam Causing Loss of Smell?
Recently, the FDA advised consumers to stop using Zicam intranasal products, including Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs (Kids Size). These products contain the active ingredient zinc gluconate and are manufactured by Matrixx Initiatives, Inc., which had been marketing and selling the products as over-the-counter homeopathic cold remedies.
According to the FDA's News Release and its Warning Letter to Matrixx, these intranasal products may be causing temporary and permanent loss of smell (known as "anosmia"). The agency has received more than 130 reports from people suffering this condition after one or several doses of the Zicam intranasal products. Additionally, the agency believes that the company has received in excess of 800 such reports.
In its warning letter to Matrixx, the FDA recognized that many drugs are marketed and sold as homeopathic remedies without FDA approval, consistent with the agency's Compliance Policy Guide entitled, "Conditions Under Which Homeopathic Drugs May be Marketed (CPG 7132.15)." However, the warning letter advises Matrixx that this policy guide does not exempt purported homeopathic remedies from "new drug" regulation by the FDA when there is evidence of a safety risk. In light of the lack of scientific evidence of safety and efficacy in these products – and the volume of smell-loss reports received by the FDA – the agency intends to treat Matrixx's Zicam intranasal products as "new" drugs for which a New Drug Application (NDA) will be required. The agency also considers the products to be misbranded because there is not adequate labeling to advise users of the risk of loss of smell.
Several products liability lawsuits have been filed against Matrixx already, and there are also claims that third-party suppliers of these products – such as pharmacies – are responsible for not recalling, or at least warning about, these intranasal products.
If you or a loved one has used one of the Zicam intranasal products – either Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, or Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs (Kids Size) – and experienced any loss of smell, you may have a legal claim for damages. We are interested in hearing your story. If you would like to discuss your case with an attorney, please call our firm at (610) 941-4204 or visit us at our website at www.pbmattorneys.

Of #1 New York Times-bestselling author Sue Grafton, NPR's Maureen Corrigan said, "Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters." With only two letters left, Grafton's many devoted readers will share that sentiment.
X: The shortest entry in Webster's Unabridged. Derived from Greek and Latin and commonly found in science, medicine, and religion. The most graphically dramatic letter. Notoriously tricky to pronounce: think xylophone.


When it comes to better business, keeping your staff energized and ensuring you have a functional operating system is crucial. The same is true for your health. In this interview, Heidi Hanna, PhD., an EO speaker and the CEO and founder of SYNERGY, shares her insights into the significance of stress and how it can be harnessed to recharge your business owner battery.
What is the biggest contributor to stress, and how can entrepreneurs avoid it?
How can entrepreneurs better manage the stress of maintaining a work/life balance?
HH/ "Work/life balance shouldn't be measured by the amount of time we spend on each, as most entrepreneurs know there are seasons where different aspects of our lives demand more focused attention. The reality is that balance comes by creating harmony between the different elements of life as they all interact with one another, and training ourselves to be more fully focused on each moment we are in, rather than constantly multitasking or worrying about things that we could or should be doing elsewhere. This mental gymnastics wears us out and leaves us depleted at the end of the day, so we're unable to give our best energy to those we love at home.
How can entrepreneurs recharge without feeling like they're failing their business?
HH/ "Studies show that even short recharge breaks can help individuals manage energy more effectively, leading to greater levels of productivity and engagement. Learning to relax is not only good for keeping entrepreneurs charged for action, but it also significantly improves their ability to be creative and access intuition, two skills that have been shown to be critical to entrepreneurial success. Unfortunately, when we're stuck in stress mode, the brain experiences cortical inhibition, which locks us into doing things the way we've always done them before because it feels safe. This can also mentally prevent us from trying recharging techniques because the fear of losing precious time triggers this type of brain freeze.
How does stress affect the day-to-day operations of a business?
HH/ "When stress is chronic or feels out of control, it quickly depletes human capital by keeping employees stuck in 'fight or flight' mode, hindering their ability to think clearly and pushing them toward multitasking as the norm. Studies have shown that multitasking not only 'dumbs' us down, but it also wastes time as it can take up to 20 minutes to get back into a focused mindset after a distraction. Stress can also shift individual and group perceptions to one that is more fear-based, leading to over-reacting to challenges, an increase in frequency and intensity of errors, ineffective communication and a lack of trust in leadership. All of these negative interpersonal dynamics ultimately waste our most precious time and energy resources.

Nice plugin! Can it use to free WP?
Whatever you did to resolve latest issues with your plugin, my log is showing that images are missing, for example 333333_7x7_arrow_right.gif, is not in the folder vipers-video-quicktags/resources/images/ .
Fixed in v6.5.2. Thanks for catching this!
Hi I can use this plugin in wpcommerce ?
One issue with this that I cannot work out is that when activated it stops the WordPress core video player from working. Is that something you are aware of and have seen?
also apply the same as the above for all the various [youtube width="560" height="315"] [youtube width="480" height="215"] and so on?
I was wondering if there was a search and replace method that in English says "Find every instance of [youtube and remove it all the way up until the next closing ] with [video src=" ?
Thanks alex for this plugin but i wanted to ask if the plugin have features where a downloadable video link can be generated from an external video website.. eg i don't want to upload videos on my entertainment, music and movie site http://clickafrican.com but want to upload this video on http://www.xyzvideohosting.com website then generate a downloadable link from http://www.xyzvideohosting.com to http://clickafrican.com for users to download. Can this plugin do such, if yes please how. But if no kindly advice on how to go about this challenge.. I really would appreciate your reply soon. Thanks a million Viper.
Can we set it that it plays only in single.php page. While normally it shows only thumb of the video in listing page?
Yea i second that this plugin rocks.
I have a small problem while embedding youtube video. The video height is too small on posts. I set it to 480x360px and the width is correct, but height is like 150px or something. I checked/unchecked "keep aspect ratio" option and the problem is still there. Oh and this plugin is simple and works great.
Can I get a URL to a post on your site so I can take a look?
Update: It seems to only do it in Chrome. IE works just fine. Any thoughts?
Hello Alex, i am a big fan of viper video quicktags and using it for more than 3 years. i like to suggest one feature which allows us to disable the loading of .swf file in all pages. So that the adobe flash icon notification can be turned off on user browsers when they visit our website. Please consider this in upcoming update and enable html5 video embed option without change in existing tag.
Thanks and thumbs up for your beautiful plugin.
This plugin is on its last legs due to how good the embed functionality that is built into WordPress core is. I don't plan any on adding any new features to this plugin. I do need to write a simple plugin to replace this one though that makes all of this plugin's shortcodes use the new HTML5 embed functionality though that's built into WordPress core.
Pingback: ?????????????????? ? ?????? ARC? | ????????????????????
i've a question… when i insert the code inside my post, i see the video embedded just if i enter in the single post.
From the timeline of the blog is visible just a preview icon not the embedded video i've just added.
Pingback: ????????????????????????????? ? ?????? ARC? | ????????????????????
Pingback: ????????????????????? ? ?????? ARC? | ????????????????????
I use this plugin great from 2 years. I activated SSL certificate to show HTTPS on my website and all Youtube video embed with the shortcode [youtube] doesn't show!!
Ugh, sorry about that. I'll look into how easy it is to swap over to SSL for the embeds.
I really need to sit down one weekend and write a fresh plugin that acts as a bridge between this plugin's shortcodes and the embed functionality that is in WordPress core (that I also happened to write). That way people who want to can delete Video Quicktags without breaking their old embeds.
Hi, any news on the new plugin? need to disable the Viper's my site, it is obsolete.
I just released it a few days ago actually!
I'm working on adding a notice to Video Quicktags for people to switch over to the separate plugin.

We are absolutely delighted to have been selected for the prestigious 'St John's Smith Square Young Artists' Scheme' in 2016/17. It's an exciting time for us and we wanted to talk a bit about our upcoming programmes. Here's a detailed look at what we're bringing to SJSS this season.
Thursday 24th November 2016- Lunchtime, 1:05pm
Three-in-One
Igor Stravinsky - Suite from L'Histoire du Soldat (Cl, Vln, Pn)
Nino Rota - Trio (Cl, Vc, Pn)
Jean Francaix - Trio (Cl, Vla, Pn)
Rarely performed alongside each other, our programme Three-in-One aims to showcase the variety of sounds these three mediums can create all within the space of a one hour lunchtime concert; no mean feat considering some of the lengthier works!
Stravinsky's Suite (based on the Russian folk tale 'The Runaway Soldier and the Devil') was originally a theatrical work for seven instruments (clarinet, bassoon, cornet, trombone, violin, double-bass and percussion), three actors and a dancer. It was reworked by Stravinsky into this concert suite for Clarinet, Violin and Piano as a gesture of thanks to Swiss philanthropist Werner Reinhart; an excellent amateur clarinettist who sponsored and largely underwrote the original's premiere.
Nino Rota was a prolific Italian composer best known for his film scores (most notably those for Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti and the first two films from Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather trilogy). Although he wrote more than 150 scores for film, he also composed an impressive body of concert and stage works. This fun Trio, scored for Clarinet, Cello and Piano, is strongly influenced by his film compositional style.
The Francaix Trio, using the same instrumentation as Mozart's Kegelstatt trio, is a light fun piece mixing his iconic witty and lyrical voices composed in celebration of the clarinet's 300th birthday! Being a virtuoso pianist himself, many of Francaix's works feature the piano; especially among his large volume of chamber works, often using uncommon instrumental combinations. He rejected the surrounding trends of atonality, professing himself a neoclassicist. His numerous influences (including Stravinsky, Ravel and Poulenc) were always integrated into his own unique voice of lightness and wit, which changed little throughout his career.
Thursday 19th January 2017- Evening, 7:30pm
War and Eternity
Dmitri Shostakovich - Piano Trio No.2 in E minor, Op.67 (Vln, Vc, Pn)
Alan Rawsthorne - Clarinet Quartet (Cl, Vln, Vla, Vc)
Olivier Messiaen - Quartet for the End of Time (Cl, Vln, Vc, Pn)
Our heaviest programme by far, War and Eternity explores works composed during and immediately following WW2, built around Messiaen's unequivocally moving Quartet for the End of Time. All three works have an extreme intensity of expression kindled by this human tragedy. Both the Messiaen Quartet [1940-41] and Shostakovich Trio [1944] were composed in the height of the war, the Rawsthorne Quartet [1946/8] (a rarely performed but powerful English work) in the aftermath when the memories and wounds of war were still fresh.
Soviet era composer Dmitri Shostakovich's monumental second piano trio may in some ways be viewed as a window into the past. Having lived through WW2, Shostakovich not so much composed music for entertainment, but as a 'voice for the people' when it was taken away from them; giving insight into what it may have been like under Stalin's reign. Among the most ghostly, haunting openings ever written up to this point (with cello harmonics so the violin sounds underneath), Shostakovich, having witnessed the horrors first-hand, conjures images akin to war-time alarms, the clang of train wheels on route to the death-camps, the oppression of life in red Russia being forced to smile with a gun to your head, the tolling of death bells, and finally casting Jewish folk music as the subject against a pounding background symbolizing dictator communism.
Relatively forgotten, Lancaster born British composer Alan Rawsthorne was sometimes referred to as 'master of the epigram'. He found his distinctive voice at a very early stage in his career, sticking to it with conviction. The clarinet quartet is among the best of his chamber output, which forms one of 20th Century English music's most substantial contributions in this genre. Typically British in feel, it begins with a meandering line as though you are lost, before a shocking strike chord pulls you out of your slumber with gripping emotional intensity.
Paired with these two works, Messiaen's Quartet rounds off an emotionally and technically challenging programme. The scoring is unusual, born out of the instruments and musicians available during his time in the Gorlitz, Germany POW camp Stalag VIII-A (now part of Zgorzelec, Poland). Premiered in front of roughly 400 fellow prisoners and guards, Messiaen later stated 'Never was I listened to with such rapt attention and comprehension'. Inspired by text from the Book of Revelation (Rev 10:1-2, 5-7; King James Version), it is quite literally about 'the end of time', the end of everything; and arguably among the greatest chamber music masterpieces of all time. It is as if time is suspended in the final movement of the Quartet as it soars and resolves all conflict, leaving Eternity.
Sunday 11th June 2017- Afternoon, 3pm
Ludwig van Beethoven - 'Gassenhauer' Trio in Bb major, Op.11 (Cl, Vc, Pn)
George Enescu - Piano Quartet No.2 in D minor, Op.30 (Vln, Vla, Vc, Pn)
Bela Bartok - Contrasts, Sz. 111 (Cl, Vln, Pn)
Krzysztof Penderecki - Clarinet Quartet (Cl, Vln, Vla, Vc)
(TBA soon) (New Transcription of an Orchestral masterpiece) (Cl, Vln, Vla, Vc, Pn)
Variations embraces our core ideal as a flexi-ensemble; showcasing a whole breadth of works from our different flexes alongside a new transcription of an orchestral masterpiece for the whole ensemble (to be announced soon).
Although now a standard combination (perhaps the most commonly heard of the three core clarinet trios), Beethoven's elegantly refined Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano was very unusual for its time. Now a regular favourite, the Trio earned its nickname 'Gassenhauer' for its famous use of the tune from Josef Weigl's opera The Corsair in its final movement. Worked into nine variations, the tune was very popular at the time, helping form its lasting appeal.
Enescu's rarely heard late Piano Quartet is full of delightful melodies and written as a homage to Fauré. Often regarded as Romania's most important musician, Pablo Casals described Enescu as "the greatest musical phenomenon since Mozart". Composed at the height of WW2, the quartet's opening movement has an almost chilly quality, as though Enescu is 'trying to keep the horrors engulfing Europe away by sheer force of intellectual will'.
Bartok's Contrasts were famously written in response to a letter from eminent Hungarian violinist Joseph Szigeti, but officially commissioned by jazz clarinettist Benny Goodman; and dedicated to the two. Originally a shorter two-movement work titled Rhapsody, Bartok added the middle movement Pihenő (Relaxation) between the Verbunkos (Recruiting Dance) and Sebes (Fast Dance) following its premiere at Carnegie Hall, January 1939; changing the name to Contrasts. Based on Hungarian and Romanian dance melodies, the work demands great technical dexterity with a clarinet cadenza in the first and violin cadenza in the last movements. In the final movement Bartok specifies the violinist must retune (scordatura) two strings, lowering the E and raising the G a semitone each, requiring a second instrument. The effect yields a rougher, courser sound (open strings) suggesting the playing of a folk musician!
One of Poland's best known living composers, Penderecki's seminal Clarinet Quartet is a simultaneously haunting and gripping work. Inspired by Schubert's String Quintet in C major, D.956, it began as a personal experiment before an official commission gave it form. It fully manifests the change of style foreshadowed in his String Trio and Flute Concerto; and again, like Rawsthorne's Quartet, uses the unusual combination of clarinet and string trio. One of the striking features of the Quartet (modelled much like a Bartok String Quartet) are its lean textures; only at isolated moments do all four instruments play together, with the music often proceeding on the sound of only one or two.
The programme will end on the new transcription of an orchestral masterpiece for the entire quintet. Stay tuned for updates.
Thank you for reading! We can't wait to bring these concerts to you and hope the range of repertoire peaks your interest. More details to come as the time approaches.

I experienced the vast difference between co-living and staying at a hostel when I spent a week in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria for NomadCity2016. It was my very first trip as a digital nomad, and my main priorities were to stay at a place that was clean and affordable. I was quick to adjust these priorities by the way – what I learned is that, as a digital nomad, a great vibe and reliable internet should be top priority.
The hostel I stayed at the first 3 nights was affordable and had decent reviews. The first impression was OK – they'd put thought into the decor and the place was clean and tidy. But I got disappointed as the daylight faded and I started to work. Although the hostel's website had advertised free WiFi, I had trouble bringing up the patience for the slow and unstable connection. But the worst was when everyone seemed to be in a party mood while I had a deadline to meet.
On the fourth day, I coincidentally received an invitation to come and share a house with 4 other digital nomads. The cost of this new accommodation wasn't much higher than the hostel's, and I was promised the internet would be fantastic. Desperate to get stuff done, I moved to the co-living space that very night.
I immediately felt relieved as I walked through the door. The other nomads were sitting at one big table, working diligently on their laptops. When I joined them my productivity skyrocketed – not just because of the stable internet connection, but because of the incredible energy that comes from a group of people with the same mindset. Oh, they weren't shy of a good party, but their priority was the same as mine: to get work done and explore an incredible city in their leisure time.
All of this changed what I now look for when I book the accommodation for my next adventure. Staying at a place where I'll sleep comfortably, have access to high-speed internet and meet others with the same mentality is just the perfect solution for me.
My name is Noëlle Steegs, and I have been working remotely for 4 years. After having lived several years in South Africa I am now travelling the EU indefinitely. My next stop is bedndesk in March, where I'll be living for one month.
Come, join me, and experience co-living for yourself!

African Winners is a South African association football club founded in 1989. The team originate from King William's Town in the Eastern Cape. Since September 2010, they have been competing in the Eastern Cape stream of Vodacom League, with the new name Cloud 9.

History
By the end of the 2009-10 season, the team had won SAFA Amathole-SAB Stream B, and thereby qualified for the Amathole District Championship, to be held March 13 at Jan Smuts Stadium in East London, Eastern Cape. Each year the two best teams from Stream A and Stream B will meet at the District Championship to decide the overall champion after a round robin stage. The overall District champion will then subsequently participate at the Provincial Playoffs for Vodacom League.

African Winners managed to win the Regional Amathole District Championship 2010, after a: 2-0 win against FC Buffalo, 3-1 win against Young Aces and a 2-2 draw against TUBS. The next challenge was to participate at the SAB-Castle Regional League Provincial Playoffs, to be held May 2010 in Port Elizabeth, where the two best teams would win promotion to the Vodacom League. The provincial playoffs were however won by Happy Brothers and Kokstad Liverpool, with African Winners finishing just behind. At first this meant no qualification for African Winners to the Vodacom League, but the team then decided to buy the league franchise held by the team Cloud 9, and thereby bought themselves a ticket to the Vodacom League.

As a curiosity, one of the teams local rivals from the Amathole District, FC Buffalo, at the same time opted to follow the same economical promotion path to the Eastern Cape Stream of Vodacom League, as they purchased the Franchise position from The Guys F.C.

Despite the fact, that African Winners ahead of the 2010-11 season had bought the Vodacom League Franchise from Cloud 9, it can be seen from the data published by SAFA, that the club apparently decided to trash their old name, and preferred to continue in the 2010-11 season with the name Cloud 9, at the venue Bredbach Sport Field.

149 years ago on this day, the people of Upper Canada and Lower Canada came together to create one great nation, Canada.
"From the outset, Canada was formed not in spite of differences, but because of them. Thanks to the hard work and understanding between many cultural and religious communities, Canada is the diverse, inclusive, and compassionate country that we are fortunate to call home today", said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this morning.
I can certainly relate to this message. My family escaped the tyranny of the communist regime in Poland in the early 1970's and we received a wonderful welcome in Montreal (Quebec). That is where I grew up and where my parents and brother still live and celebrate the "vivre ensemble" (Living together).
Four decades later, Canada still is a beacon of hope for refugees escaping the atrocities of the middle-east crisis. The Trudeau administration committed to take in 25,000 Syrians only to increase this number by tens of thousands soon after.
So many Canadians are willing to sponsor them that the government can't bring them quickly enough. "Where are the refugees that you promised us? When will they arrive? We are waiting for them! is what I hear from the constituents in my Toronto riding" said Minister of International Trade Chrystia Freeland during the Forum of the Americas in Montreal two weeks ago.
And this constructive and solutions-oriented approach extends well beyond the refugee crisis. When the Canadian delegation arrived at the Paris Climate Conference in December, the assembly was chanting: Welcome back Canada! Welcome back Canada! and that was even before the climate minister Catherine McKenna voiced Canada's commitment to maintaining climate change well-below 2 degrees.
At a time when the dark forces are shaking the world by promoting hate, fear and isolationism, there is a new wind blowing from Canada. One that is supported and celebrated by all Canadians. It is a message of peace and tolerance, a celebration of multiculturalism and diversity and a reason for the whole world to celebrate!
Following the April trip to Hiroshima by John Kerry, the scene is set for the first visit of a US President to the sites where America dropped the bomb in August 1945. Having taken the world into the atomic age, America has a special obligation to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
Tomorrow's visit (May 27) will be a side-trip to the G7 summit hosted by Japan and is already perceived as a major success for the Japanese Prime Minister and a show of strength of Japanese-American relations in the face of an increasingly assertive Chinese presence in the region. Surely, it will do nothing to appease the Chinese and South Korean grievances for Japanese atrocities inflicted on them in the first half of the 20th century.
In 2009 already, Obama said that achieving a world without nuclear weapons is fundamental for American security and for peace in the world. During the cold war nukes could have erased the world as we know it in a flash of light. Today the cold war is over but the legacy of thousands of nuclear weapons remains with the paradox of a higher risk of a nuclear attack occurring. With the proliferation of nuclear secrets and technology, more countries have nuclear weapons and it is easier for terrorist groups to gain access to them.
President Obama is right that global peace and security demands ridding the world of nuclear weapons and that America has a moral responsibility to lead. How much can be achieved without inflaming existing tensions remains to be seen. Obama's legacy on peace could be in the making here. With much criticism already voiced back home and more coming from North Korea, we will find out soon enough.
Young people, my interns or students attending my talks regularly ask for book recommendations. With no hesitation my first suggestion is "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson. Called by some as one of the most important books ever, "Silent Spring" got the American environmental movement started. Al Gore describes it as the inspiration behind his involvement in climate change while Canadian geneticist turned activist David Suzuki reminds us that prior to "Silent Spring" there was not a single country with a ministry of the environment. Within 10 years, the United Nations Environmental Programme was created and the first global conference on the environment took place in Stockholm (Sweden). During the following two decades the environment became a key topic on the global agenda leading up to the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio.
Rachel Carson had been concerned about the negative effects of pesticides since the 1940's. She finally decided to write "Silent Spring" after receiving a letter from a friend describing how birds in Boston were dying from the effects of DDT and other pesticides. The title conveyed the idea of a morbid spring with no birds singing. It was and remains controversial. It resulted in virulent attacks against her. She was called a hysterical woman that wanted to return humanity to the "dark ages" and that restrictions on the use of DDT caused the unnecessary death of millions. Rarely do critics mention that in most countries the use of DDT is still allowed for mosquito eradication but that growing resistance to DDT has reduced its effectiveness. President John F Kennedy ordered an investigation by the Science Advisory Committee which resulted in increased oversight and regulation of pesticides.
In "Silent Spring" Rachel Carson thought us that everything in nature is connected and that all our actions have consequences – most of them unintended. At a time when it was hoped that science and technology would allow humanity to dominate nature this book helped us realize how little we knew. This lesson is just as relevant today as it was in 1962. "Silent Spring" should be a mandatory read for all students and for anyone interested in the environment.
What would we do without energy? from smartphones to transportation our way of life runs on energy. But faced with the realities of climate change and 1.3 billion who lack access to modern energy, Scott Foster from the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) argues that we have got the energy equation seriously wrong and need to change the way we think about energy.
We can meet the challenges of sustainable development and climate change if we think of energy as a service instead of a commodity. Scott argues that we want hot showers and cold beers not barrels of oil or kilowatt-hours of electricity. Fostering this revolution to think in terms of services and obtaining this value most efficiently will radically reduce waste, improve efficiency and help address climate change and energy poverty.
There is a compelling business case for transforming energy utilities into service providers because they have the financial capacity, the expertise and the business partners to make it happen. Most importantly, we know it works! The successful experience of California where it was implemented after the oil crisis in 1978 for gas and 1982 for electricity shows has been replicated in 15 other American states for electricity and 23 for gas, with legislation pending for 12 other states.
Few realise the powerful role that sport can play in building bridges for peace and in promoting human progress around the world. This is why the United Nations have an office dedicated to Sport for Development and Peace (UNOSDP) and the reason for the success of its Youth Leadership Programme that helps young people to develop skills to address important social issues in their communities through sport.
Powering Forward, by Bill Ritter, JR.
As "Powering Forward: What Every American Should Know about the Energy Revolution" becomes available for sale today, I am grateful to Bill Ritter, his team at the "Center for the New Energy Economy" (CNEE) at Colorado State University and to Fulcrum Books for providing a copy of the book for this review.
Bill Ritter Jr. knows a thing or two about the energy revolution and the sun that is setting on the fossil fuel industry. As Governor of Colorado, he turned the State into a leader in clean energy and then launched the "Center for the New Energy Economy" (CNEE) to help other states accelerate their transition to a clean-energy future.
Having hosted Gov. Ritter at the Geneva "Green and Inclusive Economy" Conference ahead of the Paris climate summit, I was familiar with his work as governor and at the CNEE including the need to address climate change, the cost of clean versus fossil energy and green jobs. All are well covered, as one would expect in such a book. But "Powering Forward" is different in that it goes much further to address the role of science and education, the need for well informed citizens for a functioning democracy and how biased and misleading media coverage has helped the climate denial industry. But his most important contribution is to shed some light on the government intervention versus the free-market myth and his attempt to turn a divisive energy debate into a consensual and bi-partisan quest for a better future.
For many, government intervention amounts to "corporate welfare" and invariably drives up costs for consumers. It may therefore come as a surprise that fossil fuels have been subsidized since 1916 and that American energy utilities have been run as quasi monopolies with no competition. While most will agree that governments should not pick winners or losers, thinking that energy markets are "free" is a misinformed illusion. The reality is that government still largely favours fossil fuels with obsolete policies from the carbon age that are slowing down innovation, artificially restricting consumer choice and undermining American energy security.
A good example comes from Georgia where the Sierra Club and the local Tea Party took on the monopolistic energy structure. It did not sit well with them that people could not choose where they get their electricity from and they forced a change in law to allow customers the ability to generate their own electricity and sell it back to the grid.
Business as usual is no longer an option. We are at the crossroad and must now decide if we will become the victims of our future or its architects. By working together and reconciling our differences we can turn scarcity into abundance and crisis into opportunity. This is the key contribution of Powering Forward.

The Best Robot Vacuums of 2020
Sports & Lesiure
Kenneth Bergman
Imagine sitting on your couch and relaxing while your least favorite chore is getting done, an appliance that is going from room to room and cleaning the whole house quietly, all on its own.
We are talking about robot vacuums. In the last decade, vacuum cleaners have come a long way, from an unwieldy plastic hose connected to a clumsy wheeled canister to a small round shaped appliance that can go anywhere in your house and clean every corner, without your active involvement.
Apart from the daily cleaning, robot vacuums are very helpful in homes with pets, where clumps of hair can accumulate seemingly overnight.
In this article, we'll list the best robot vacuums that we have tried based on price vs. performance. We'll be looking at robot vacuums on every budget range, so regardless of whether you want value for money or looking for the best of the best, we got you covered.
iRobot Roomba 980: Overall Best
Everybody knows what iRobot is; however, determining the best model this company has made so far is a tough task. However, when we saw all this little guy has to offer, our decision to make the winner of the best robot vacuum contest was pretty clear.
The Roomba 980 is very easy to set up and operate, thanks to the iRobot Home app. The app allows you to clean, schedule, and even customize your cleaning preferences from your smartphone. Another great thing is the fact that you can control the Roomba 980 with your voice through Alexa or Google Assistant.
The Roomba 980 might be wider than your average vacuum head, but thanks to its circular design and rotating body, it's able to maneuver through narrower areas without any issue.
The iRobot Home app offers a clean map report that allows you to see where this Roomba had to clean; no more uncleaned spots now. You can also get notifications of cleaning status updates on the app.
Thanks to its IADAPT 2.0 navigation with visual localization, the Roomba 980 is a real champ when it comes to cleaning. The Aeroforce cleaning system boosts the suctioning power up to 10 times more than similar robot vacuum cleaners.
The Roomba 980 can run up to 2 hours on a single charge. When the battery is about to empty, this Roomba goes to the charging dock, recharge, and gets back to cleaning from where it left off.
Eufy RoboVac 11S: Best Value for Money
If you're looking for the best value for the money, then the Eufy RoboVac 11S is definitely what you need. For just above $200, this robot vacuum is significantly cheaper than most of the others we've tested.
Although priced lower, the Eufy RoboVac 11S is as efficient as any other vacuum when it comes to cleaning. The 11S is only 12.8 inches in diameter and 2.8 inches in height, which makes it one of the slimmest robot vacuums available in the market. It does look premium with a black finish and anti-scratch tempered glass top.
The Eufy RoboVac 11 doesn't have a companion app but comes with a physical remote.
To ensure that the surface is cleaned spotless, this robot vacuum has a three-point cleaning system with side brushes, a rolling brush, and powerful suction. The RoboVac 11S can clean under tables and chairs along with every nook imaginable with several cleaning modes that can be controlled with the remote.
In single Room mode, 11S cleans a specific area for 30 minutes; in Edge mode, it reduces the speed to approach a wall and then cleans along it for 20 minutes, and in Spot cleaning mode, it cleans an area of concentrated dirt in a spiral for two minutes. With the Manual mode, you can direct the RoboVac to a specific area using the directional buttons on the remote.
This RoboVac can clean up to 100 minutes on a single charge. When the battery is low, it automatically goes to the charging station and recharge, so you'll never find it dead in the middle of the floor.
Designed for cleaning thin carpets, hardwood floors, and pet hair, this little robot vacuum won't disappoint you. It works wonderfully quietly, navigates over floors without much hassle, doesn't miss spots, and can clean for quite a while before needing emptying.
Roborock S4: Best Battery Life
The S4 is the mid-range robot vacuum in the Roborock product lineup. It is supposed to be a cheaper alternative to the S5 and S6. One of the reasons its cheaper is it doesn't have the moping attachment that the S5 and S6 have, but it still has the features which are more advanced than the expensive ones.
The Roborock S4 has many of the little upgrades that are available on the S5 and S6, for example, the S4 has the new style side-brush and new brush roll with more bristles which is supposed to be even better for pet hair tangles. It also has something called the drivetrain, which is supposed to make it even better at getting out of places in which it's likely to get stuck.
This Roborock's battery life is way ahead of its competitors that lasts two and a half hours (150 minutes) on a single charge.
The S4, S5, and S6 all have the same sized 2,000 Pascal suction motor, which can even drag trapped dirt from deep inside low-pile carpets. But the S4 has a significantly big dustbin than the S5 or S6.
Related to navigation, the S4 has a high-precision laser navigation system that scans your room at 300RPM, creating a real-time map of your home. Its virtual no-go zones feature lets you draw lines or boxes on the map to keep the robot from going places you don't want it to go.
The Roborock has one of the best apps in terms of experience and features, thanks to its parent company Xiaomi. The Roborock app has features like map saving, selective cleaning, no-go zones, and power setting, which can be controlled from anywhere.

What would cause the sound to sometimes stop for a second during HD movie playback at a busy/loud point?
for example, during very big and loud explosion, multiple rapid fire gunfire, etc.
Windows was just reinstalled recently with using the soundblaster card driver cd with update check no results.
Hi Doc - This sounds like an issue with the source audio to me rather than anything to do with your system.
How consistent is the problem, does it occur with every single movie or just the odd one here and there?
What is the source of the movies - DVD, downloaded file, streaming?
This issue is typical of audio that's been recorded or encoded with the volume set too high.
Reading your answer I see that you are absolutely correct.
I don't have any problem with DVD, I have a non-consistent problem mostly with files and sometimes stream.
I do not know near enough to understand that coding thing you said, but I understand enough that at least it is not a problem with my system.

EU Scandals

Americans fired at a strip club from machine guns because of the requirement to wear masks
California's authorities arrested two Americans who fired machine guns at a strip club in Anaheim. The conflict occurred over the requirement to wear medical masks when visiting a facility, Business Insider reports.
According to law enforcement agencies, the two men had a fight with the club's administration over masks, after which they left and returned with a Kalashnikov assault rifle. One of them started shooting — fired 15 bullets at the building, as a result of which two workers and a visitor were injured.
They were soon found and arrested in Orange County. Judging by the names and surnames, the suspects belong to the Latin American community. They did not admit their guilt. It is noted that for an attack with a machine gun, they face a prison sentence up to life. Together with them, another person was arrested — the one who, presumably, brought the attackers to the club building, could be given up to 17 years in prison.
The publication notes that Los Angeles is experiencing a critical moment of the epidemic of a new type of coronavirus — on the day before Christmas, the state broke the record for the number of deaths of patients due to COVID-19.

Anaxagoras (c. 500 - 428 B.C.) was an early Pre-Socratic Greek philosopher from Ionia, although he was one of the first philosophers to move to Athens as a base.
During this time he became a favourite (and possibly a teacher) of the prominent and influential statesman, orator and general Pericles (c. 495 – 429 B.C.), one of the architects of Athens' primacy during the Golden Age. Although it seems that Anaxagoras and the young Socrates never actually met, one of Socrates' teachers, Archelaus, studied under Anaxagoras for some time. His work was also known to the major writers of the day, including Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus and Aristophanes.
In about 450 B.C., however, Anaxagoras was arrested by Pericles' political opponents on a charge of contravening the established religion by his teachings on origins of the universe, the first philosopher before Socrates to be brought to trial for impiety. With Pericles' influence he was released, but he was forced to retire from Athens to exile in Lampsacus in Ionia, where he died around the year 428 B.C.
He is best known for his cosmological theory of the origins and structure of the universe. He maintained that the original state of the cosmos was a thorough mixture of all its ingredients, although this mixture was not entirely uniform, and some ingredients are present in higher concentrations than others and varied from place to place. At some point in time, this primordial mixture was set in motion by the action of nous ("mind"), and the whirling motion shifted and separated out the ingredients, ultimately producing the cosmos of separate material objects (with differential properties) that we perceive today.
For Anaxagoras, this was a purely mechanistic and naturalistic process, with no need for gods or any theological repercussions. However, he did not elucidate on the precise nature of Mind, which he appears to consider material, but distinguished from the rest of matter in that it is finer, purer and able to act freely. It is also present in some way in everything, a kind of Dualism.
