St Mary's Suspends All Public Services & Events
St Mary's and the Parish of Walthamstow, which includes St Gabriel's and St Luke's, will suspend all public services, including Sunday worship, from today (17th March 2020) until further notice in keeping with the latest public health advice and today's guidance from The Church of England.
However, as our Archbishops write, this is an opportunity for us "to become a different sort of church in these coming months" but one that is still "hopeful and rooted in the offering of prayer and praise, and overflowing in service to the world." (Read the full text of the Archbishops letter here).
Our Rector, Revd Vanessa Conant, says, "This a time of high anxiety and difficulty, but as followers of Jesus Christ, our call is the same: to follow him, to grow as disciples, to serve those in need, to love God, and to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. I look forward to seeing how we can be church in new ways in this time, including setting up new WhatsApp groups, regularly calling those who are vulnerable, delivering food to those who can't get out and growing through service, worship and prayer."
"Revd Adam Childs and I are already working to create video reflections, an online Sunday service, video-based weekday Morning Prayer and new Vespers resources, along with other ways to learn, worship and connect with one another. I'm also keen to work with our many lay leaders at St Mary's and in the parish and support them as they reach out to the rest of the church and the wider community, who we are called to serve and have served since this parish church was founded in 1108."
We'll update our website and social media channels in the days to come with new ways to join us online in prayer, fellowship and learning, including on Sunday mornings. We're also fortunate to have a simple way to give to church online during this time; to make a one-off gift in less than 60 seconds, or to set up a monthly standing order, click here and give securely on our website.

Are These Projects A Massive Sign To Stay?
When the breadcrumbs come into our lives, and they do by the herds - both you and I have to be able to identify them. There are signals I pick up very easily that leads to a decision that I will ultimately make. Now it's all about patience and persistence.


The back and forth trading patterns continue in the US stock markets with today being a day of significant gains for equity investors. With each turn in market sentiment comes new rhetoric out of news pundits. Today, the focus is on the positive events happening. However, this market volatility is largely based on the technical outlook, as markets bounce from support to resistance. This is a day trader's dream, with great opportunity being created in both the down and up markets. With mortgage bonds hitting their 100-day moving average, the current technical picture for mortgage interest rates is not looking good for the day. I'm sure tomorrow will be entirely the opposite.
The US is preparing tariffs on all remaining imports from China into the United States. Should the meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping fail to ease the trade war, the tariffs will go into place. This move seems to be a strategic one by President Trump to establish his expectations for the meeting ahead of time. With China's president now aware of the potential consequences, hopes are that he will bend to the demands of President Trump to help avoid further negative economic impacts.
The bond market has a strong ceiling of resistance to contend with. We will suggest a locking bias.


An Essex GP has set up his own scam-busting website after his practice was targeted in a telecommunications scam.
Dr John Cormack, a GP at Greenwood Surgery in Essex, has set up the website scam-scum.co.uk in the hope of fighting back against the various short-lived companies that operate in his area.
Practices have been stung with bills of over £20,000 after being told they must upgrade their phone systems in order for them to work when local lines 'go digital'.
The salesmen claim to be calling on behalf of BT and initially say the upgrade will be free. They have also targeted schools, dental surgeries and homes for the elderly, according to Dr Cormack.
Dr Cormack says the upgrades are sold by a company called BC Telecoms, which has since been liquidated and reappeared under different names such as BTS Digital and Business Telecom. Attempts by Healthcare Republic to contact these firms have been unsuccessful.
Victims have been pursued by larger companies who then take on the debt or lease for the equipment, said Dr Cormack.
Last year many GPs were tricked into signing up to fake directory listings before being charged thousands of pounds by untraceable companies.
Certain practice insurance schemes may not provide cover for such scams, warned Dr Cormack.

Two Fascinating Political Videos
Both via Megan McArdle's excellent blog over at The Atlantic, Asymmetrical Information:
First, we have Arlen Specter, who has announced he's switching parties, choosing to run for re-election in the Democratic parties, despite a long career as a Republican. This move gives the Democrats a 60-40 margin in the Senate, which allows them to override filibusters (assuming Minnesota eventually works itself out) which is big news, I guess, although I'm sure Arlen Specter wasn't just in it for the publicity – he must have had some kind of personal gain in mind. Well, as it turns out, he's happy to tell us what it was:
"I have surveyed the sentiments of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania, done public opinion polls, observed other public opinion polls, and have found that the prospects for winning the Republican primary are bleak. I'm not prepared to have my 29-year record in the United States Senate decided by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate."
So, in other words, "I can't win in that race, so I'm trying another one." The honesty is, well, shocking.
Second, a rather clever discussion about President Obama's plan to cut $100 million of spending out of the Federal Budget. I like this, not because of the commentary it makes on the President's budget cuts – after all, every little bit helps – but because of the point it makes about how casually we throw around words like "million," "billion," and "trillion" as if they all mean roughly the same thing:

Accidental Geo-Maps
This is very cool (from Newscientist via Speculist):
Billions of photos have now been uploaded to the internet, and many are tagged with text descriptions. Some are even geotagged – stamped with the latitude and longitude coordinates at which the image was taken. David Crandall and colleagues at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, analysed the data attached to 35 million photographs uploaded to the Flickr website to create accurate global and city maps and identify popular snapping sites.
David Crandall's Cornell homepage is here, and his whitepaper on the subject is here.
This is one of those studies that, while important for its groundbreaking methods and potential practical applications, also produces some fascinating top-level results for us to marvel at. For instance, the image on the right is a map of Manhattan island, drawn entirely by plotting the geo-location of 1.2 million photographs taken by almost 36,000 people (the map to it's right is the same thing with the streets drawn in for context). Also, here's a list of the Top 20 Most Photographed Cities in the World (by number of photographers):
Rank Photographers Pictures City
1 35,860 1,204,137 New York, NY
2 29,152 1,122,476 London, England
3 25,694 1,115,870 San Francisco, CA
4 18,940 586,203 Paris, France
5 17,729 775,061 Los Angeles, CA
6 12,025 515,884 Chicago, IL
7 11,834 571,698 Washington, DC
8 11,346 535,671 Seattle, WA
9 9,839 243,726 Rome, Italy
10 9,607 280,549 Amsterdam, Holland
11 9,318 402,658 Boston, MA
12 9,229 258,926 Barcelona, Spain
13 9,132 304,720 San Diego, CA
14 8,369 236,818 Berlin, Germany
15 7,652 206,670 Las Vegas, NV
16 7,438 112,204 Florence, Italy
20 6,586 164,454 Madrid, Spain
Finally, here's a list of the Top 7 Landmarks in each of the Top 20 Cities (and globally):
Location LM #1 LM #2 LM #3 LM #4 LM #5 LM #6 LM #7
All Cities Eiffel Tower Trafalgar Square Tate Modern Big Ben Notre Dame London Eye Empire State Building

Las Vegas, NV Paris New York, New York Bellagio Venetian Casino Flamingo Luxor
Florence, Italy Ponte Vecchio Duomo Piazza del Campo Firenze Santa Croce Bridge River
Madrid, Spain Plaza Mayor Puerta del Sol Cibeles Cathedral Callao Metropolis Parque del Retiro
So the most photographed landmark in the world is the Eiffel Tower. Four of the top seven are in England, one other is in France (Notre Dame) and the Empire State Building is the only one in the United States (despite New York being the most photographed city).
Within New York, it's interesting to note that the Apple Store is the fifth most popular landmark, which says something about the (not so) random sample you get when your source population is Flickr users. That said, it's still a fascinating list to review (at least to me).

Photo-Op Fiasco
OK, quick quiz: This picture was taken in lower Manhattan within blocks of the World Trade Center site. Question: on what day was it taken? Wrong, guess again. It was yesterday, April 27, 2009.
In what was clearly the dumbest move of the Obama administration thus far, a gentleman named Louis Caldera, the director of the White House military office, decided to fly one of the modified 747′s that serves as Air Force One when the President is on board, over and around the Statue of Liberty, in order to take pictures of it, which would later be given out to family, friends or supporters. The pictures were taken by someone in an F-16 fighter jet, which was trailing the 747.
According to the New York Daily News, the planes flew as low as 1,000-1,500 feet above the city, circling the Statue of Liberty and then flying over Manhattan, Staten Island, and New Jersey. As a point of reference, the World Trade Center's Twin Towers were roughly 1,360 feet tall.
At first, Mr. Caldera and officials for the FAA claimed the flight "was approved and coordinated with everyone" via a confidential security memo that went out last week to the NYPD, the mayor's office, the NJ State Police and other agencies. The Star Ledger (a local NJ paper) reports that the memo said, "[we acknowledge] the possibility of public concern regarding Department of Defense aircraft flying at low levels, [but] the information in this document is considered FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY and should only be shared by persons with a need to know." They all changed their tune when the mayor of New York and the President of the United States both used the word "furious" to describe how they felt about this little stunt, and promptly apologized for the fear and panic they caused.
The reaction in New York? Well, workers in many of the surrounding buildings evacuated. Some of them ran down long staircases, just as they had on September 11, 2001. Several thought the F-16 was in pursuit of the 747, rather than escorting it, and were convinced it was going to shoot it down over lower Manhattan. One Wall Street worker said, "It's like someone coming up to you, sticking a gun to your head for 15 seconds, walking away and hearing 20 minutes later it was an undercover cop posing for a photo."
This woman took cell-phone video. Listen to the fear in her voice:
I believe she said, "Oh my God! That's not normal. It's a hijacking, I know it. It's going around."
Hearing about this, I can't help thinking back to Bill Clinton's infamous Air Force One haircut, which kept two runways at LAX closed for an extra hour back in 1993. This one wasn't directly Obama's fault, but it reminds me that new Presidents and their administrations are learning on the job, and don't always comprehend the consequences of their actions.
At least Clinton's faux pas didn't scare the crap out of a few thousand people, though…

New York City Sights – Ground Zero
For my recent visit to Yankee Stadium, I treated myself to a new digital camera (one that takes video), which means I now get to carry my old camera around every day, and photograph all those things I see in New York that make me think, "I should post that on my blog."
I've tried weekly or monthly features on this blog before, all to eventual failure, so I won't commit to any regularity, but when I see something worth capturing, I will post it under this heading – New York City Sights. Time will tell how regular it becomes.
Anyway, today's edition focuses on the former site of the World Trade Center, known today as Ground Zero. I'm guessing that most people still think of Ground Zero as a big, empty pit, mired in political bickering and construction delays. And while it's true that we're almost eight years past the terrible events of September 11, 2001 and we do not have new, completed skyscrapers, there has been quite a bit of change since the day they finally emptied "the pit." Behold:
The structure on the left is the beginning of The Freedom Tower (a.k.a., One World Trade Center). It currently stands at six stories tall, and will eventually rise to a symbolic 1,776 feet (including a rather large antenna). To the right of it (and behind the blue tarp) is the footprint of the South tower (the North tower's footprint is behind the Freedom Tower at this angle). Those two pieces of now-sacred ground will eventually form the September 11 Memorial, currently scheduled to open on September 11, 2011 (the ten-year anniversary of the attacks).
Here's another view of Ground Zero – this one from the Winter Garden, which is the building between the two towers of the World Financial Center (which survived the attacks). Here, you can see both tower footprints (hard to see unless you know where to look). Across the street is Century 21, a department store that has become a fixture downtown, the Millennium Hotel (to the left of Century 21), and One Liberty Plaza (to the right), which everyone thought might fall down immediately after the attacks, but turned out to be structurally sound.

The Untold History of Earth Day
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
Today is Earth Day, a holiday created to honor the planet and to raise the consciousness of man's effect on the environment. Philadelphia has a very strong tie to this day. One of its native sons, Ira Einhorn, was a co-founder of the environmentalist jubilee.
But Mr. Einhorn has another line on his resume. In addition to being a environmental guru, he is the Unicorn Killer.
While a student at the University of Pennsylvania, Mr. Einhorn dated a Bryn Mawr College graduate by the name of Holly Maddux. When the affair ended in 1977, Mr. Einhorn went into a jealous rage and murdered her.
He concealed his crime for 18 months by stuffing Ms. Maddux's body in a trunk that he kept in his apartment. The foul odor of the decomposing corpse coming from Mr. Einhorn's Powelton Village apartment caused neighbors to complain. In 1979, police found the trunk stored in a closet in Mr. Einhorn's apartment.
Trust me…read the whole thing.
Some Advice for President Obama
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
[You should not exercise] excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state's omnipotence. In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state's role absolute. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost [them] dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.
Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors, and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state."
In the longer run, [military Keynesianism] won't solve the problem but will rather quell it temporarily. What it will do is squeeze huge financial and other resources from the economy instead of finding better and wiser uses for them.
We must assess the real situation and write off all hopeless debts and 'bad' assets. True, this will be an extremely painful and unpleasant process. Far from everyone can accept such measures, fearing for their capitalization, bonuses, or reputation. However, we would 'conserve' and prolong the crisis, unless we clean up our balance sheets.
The time for enlightenment has come. We must calmly, and without gloating, assess the root causes of this situation and try to peek into the future.

Even loansharks took the money back
I've written several long, rather technical posts on The Financial Crisis(TM). But this is short and sweet:
U.S. to put conditions on TARP repayment:
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Strong banks will be allowed to repay federal bailout funds, but only if such a move passes a test to determine whether it is in the national economic interest, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing a senior U.S. administration official.
The report said banks that had plenty of capital and demonstrated an ability to raise fresh capital from the market should, in principle, be able to repay government funds.
But the judgment would be made in the context of the wider economic interest, the report said.
So here's my question: does refusing to take the money back when the banks are willing to pay it lessen our leaders' ability to say, "How dare they spend money on <X> when they've accepted $<Y> billion in taxpayer-funded TARP money?"
No, I didn't think so…

Opening Day at Yankee Stadium – Everything Perfect but the Score
As I predicted in my post about Citi Field's Opening Day, the New York Yankees once again showed Major League Baseball, and the world, what it means to have an historic team in an historic ballpark.
The day began with the West Point Marching Band playing John Phillip Sousa marches out in centerfield (back in 1923, Sousa himself led a band into centerfield of the original Yankee Stadium, playing his famous marches). Then, a familiar voice from a missing friend. Bob Sheppard (recorded) saying, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the New Yankee Stadium," which is what he used to say back in 1976, after the renovation, when I used to go see games there as a kid. If you're a Yankee fan, you'll understand how special that was. If you're not, I'll never be able to explain it to you.
Then there was John Fogerty performing "Centerfield" on a guitar shaped like a baseball bat, while video of some of the Yankees' most famous centerfielders ran on the big screen – Bobby Murcer (who, having passed away recently, was on everyone's mind amidst all the hoopla), Joe DiMaggio (who is mentioned in the song), Mickey Mantle, and Bernie Williams.
Then Bernie Williams himself took up his familiar position in centerfield, this time to play his own, classical-guitar arrangement of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."
After that, forty-six Yankee greats, spanning from the 1940′s to the 2000′s, took the field. Forty-six. As a reminder, the Mets fielded exactly two: Tom Seaver and Mike Piazza, one of whom went to the press box after the ceremony and the other of whom went home to "spend more time with his family." In contrast, at least one former Yankee, David Wells, took a seat in the bleachers and had some beers with the fans (yes, Virginia, you can drink beer in the Yankee Stadium bleachers again).
The present followed the past, as both the visiting Cleveland Indians and the hometown Yankees were introduced. Then, Kelly Clarkson sang a stirring rendition of the National Anthem, complete with giant American flag and fighter jet flyover (the Mets, need I remind you, had a bunch of unknown Broadway singers, improperly mic'ed).
Then, the game began. The pitching rubber and home plate were the same ones used in the last game at the previous Yankee Stadium, and were removed after this game for immediate placement in the Yankees Museum, located on the premises of the new Yankee Stadium. One might have thought the pomp and circumstance was over at this point, but no – the Yankees had one more trick up their sleeves. On loan from Dr. Richard Angrist of Point Pleasant, NJ, owner of the largest game-used baseball bat collection in the world, was the bat that Babe Ruth used to hit the first homerun in Yankee Stadium back in 1923. It was laid down across homeplate and announced. Derek Jeter, the Yankee Captain and leadoff hitter, picked it up and jokingly handed his actual bat to the bat boy, as if he was going to hit with the Bambino's lumber.
Perhaps my favorite moment of the day, though, was when the bat boy brought the Babe's bat back into the dugout. Every Yankee on the bench picked it up and feigned a couple of practice swings with it – as if just holding it in their hands might help conjure some of the Babe's magic. Even Hideki Matsui (the "Babe Ruth of Japan") took a turn examining the artifact.
The game itself was a genuine pitcher's duel until the seventh inning, when Jose Veras and Demaso Marte joined together to give up 9 runs, including a grand slam homerun to Grady Sizemore and turn the game into a rout.
As for the "firsts:" Johnny Damon got the first hit. Jorge Posada got the first homerun. People lamented that it wasn't Jeter, but he's already redeemed himself by hitting a game-winning homerun in today's game (#2 in the new Stadium) in the bottom of the 8th inning, paving the way for Mariano Rivera's first appearance and first save.
And as for the rest of the comparisons to the Mets: the first visiting batter did not hit a homerun. The first Yankees pitcher to fall off the mound is an as-of-yet unclaimed honor, as is the first Yankee pitcher to balk in the winning run. The Yankees have yet to see their first random animal running around the field during the game, and we haven't had any reports of fans who can't see the field from their seats.
One can only dream…

Colbert Nation launches into orbit
As disturbing as my last TV-related post was, this one really makes me smile.
Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central's hilarious Colbert Report, has made a habit of asking his viewers to write in his name in a variety of public naming contests. To date, he's managed to get a Hungarian bridge, a San Francisco Zoo-born eagle, a hockey team mascot, a species of trapdoor spider and a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor named after him.
His most recent target was the new node (i.e., room) on the International Space Station, which NASA has asked the public to name via on online poll. NASA's suggestions were "Serenity," "Legacy," "Earthrise," "Venture," and the dreaded write-in vote. So enthusiastic are Colbert's fans (which he has dubbed the "Colbert Nation") that as of a few weeks ago, the write-in suggestion "Colbert" was beating it's closest competitor ("Serenity") by nearly 20,000 votes. NASA wisely reserved the right to ignore the poll results and pick an "appropriate" name, should they be unhappy with the public's selection.
Well, as it turns out, after 1.2 million votes were cast, NASA went with "Tranquility," one of the Top Ten suggestions in the poll, in honor of the upcoming 40th anniversary of Apollo 11′s historic moon landing at the Sea of Tranquility.
In a nod to Colbert Nation, though, NASA has dubbed a treadmill that will eventually reside in the new node the "'Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill," or C.O.L.B.E.R.T. for short. Astronaut Suni Williams made the announcement on "The Colbert Report," two years after running the Boston Marathon in space on a station treadmill similar to COLBERT.
Incidentally, the logo on the left is the actual image posted on the actual NASA page announcing the name of the new space station node.
Kudos to Steven Colbert for keeping the public enthusiastic about the space program, and kudos to NASA for not taking itself so seriously as to ignore the taxpayers that fund their important research.

Explicitly enable or disable the warning when CMake Policy ``CMP<NNNN>``
is not set.  This is meaningful only for the few policies that do not
warn by default:

* ``CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0025`` controls the warning for
  policy :policy:`CMP0025`.
* ``CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0047`` controls the warning for
  policy :policy:`CMP0047`.
* ``CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0056`` controls the warning for
  policy :policy:`CMP0056`.
* ``CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP0060`` controls the warning for
  policy :policy:`CMP0060`.

This variable should not be set by a project in CMake code.  Project
developers running CMake may set this variable in their cache to
enable the warning (e.g. ``-DCMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN>=ON``).
Alternatively, running :manual:`cmake(1)` with the ``--debug-output``
or ``--trace`` option will also enable the warning.

Home Coming Soon Free Guy – TRAILER
Free Guy – TRAILER
Landing in our inbox is the Free Guy trailer which is Ryan Reynolds new film that, like so many films, is finally getting released having been postponed three times previously due to the pandemic.
In "Free Guy," a bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, decides to become the hero of his own story…one he rewrites himself. Now in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way…before it is too late. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, Utkarsh Ambudkar and Taika Waititi, "Free Guy" is directed by Shawn Levy from a screenplay by Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn and a story by Lieberman. The film is produced by Ryan Reynolds, p.g.a., Shawn Levy, p.g.a., Sarah Schechter, Greg Berlanti and Adam Kolbrenner with Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, George Dewey, Dan Levine and Michael Riley McGrath serving as executive producers.
Some of the video gaming world's most influential figures drop in for cameos in "Free Guy," including: Imane "Pokimane" Anys, Lannan "LazarBeam" Eacott, Seán William "Jacksepticeye" McLoughlin, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins and Daniel "DanTDM" Middleton and as ever with gamers we can't help but wonder just how many of them have ever had a girlfriend. There's also rumours that there will be some big name stars (that might possibly be Hugh Jackman or Dwayne Johnson) who will be making cameo appearances. The script was included in the 2016 Black List of "most liked" scripts so the hopes are high that this should be good and the free guy trailer certainly promises much. Directed by Shawn Levy who also produced the Oscar nominated sci-fi film 'Arrival' and was a friend of Robin Williams.
"Free Guy" opens in cinemas nationwide August 13, 2021.

Who Is Jesse Rutherford? Meet Billie Eilish s New Boyfriend
February 22, 2022 admin No Comments
All About Jesse Rutherford, Billie Eilish's New Boyfriend
By Alyssa Bailey Published December 19, 2022
A new love has come to Billie Eilish. The 21-year-old singer was first photographed earlier this year as she dated 31-year-old musician Jesse Rutherford in Los Angeles. On Halloween Day, Eilish officially married Rutherford on her Instagram, where she mocked those who criticized the age difference between the two in baby and old man Halloween costumes.
Eilish spoke about her relationship with Rutherford in the same Vanity Fair interview, her sixth year video, saying, "Yes, I [have]. a boyfriend Please see Now.] And it's really great and I'm really excited and really happy," she said in an October 2022 interview.
Dating rumors sparked when she was spotted dining with The Neighborhood vocalist shortly before the kissing photo circulated. So who is Rutherford and what is his relationship with Elise? Here are all of them.
Eilish and Rutherford were first photographed kissing in October 2022.
Days after rumors of their relationship circulated after the two were photographed having dinner together, Eilish and Rutherford were spotted flirting in Studio City., was able to confirm most clearly that they were dating. According to TMZ, the two were "hugging, kissing, holding hands and smiling ear to ear" in the photo. The two are reported to have been spotted out three times in the same week, first on Halloween Horror Nights, then on a dinner date, and last.
Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford are kissing her October 2022.
Some fans pointed out that Eilish was photographed meeting the two in 2017, when she was still 15 or 16. Neither of them have said they know each other in the past, but the 10+ year age gap left some fans uneasy.
Eilish and Rutherford went Instagram official on Halloween.
In a Halloween post, Eilish shared a photo of the two together at the end of a carousel. Eilish is dressed as a baby and Rutherford is dressed as an old man. This costume is apparently meant to troll those who criticize the 10-year age gap."Life is craaaaaaaaaaazy🤡 happy Halloween🥰," the post captioned.
Eilish and Rutherford made their red carpet debut on November 5, 2022.

Eilish gushed about Rutherford being her boyfriend in an interview released in November 2022.
Eilish opened up about their relationship for the first time in her sixth-year Vanity Fair interview in a video shot in October and released in late November.
"Yeah, I do [have a boyfriend And it's really cool stuff and I'm really excited and really happy. I managed to make my way through not only being known by the person I thought was the hottest fuckin' fucker out there, but pulling his ass. Are you kidding me? Please give a round of applause. Thank you very much. Jesse Rutherford, everyone! I pulled his ass… my everything! I'm the one who did this shit. I locked that motherfucker up."
Eilish sheds light on their relationship by sharing her own love language and what it takes to date someone."They say that the language of love is just physical contact," she began."I just have to be in touch with my skin all the time. Touching, cuddling, being involved with my skin is really big for me. Plus it's just like freedom. Being controlled. I want to be trusted, I want space, love and attention and equal admiration are really important. I am really inspired by this guy (Rutherford) and he is meYou know it's inspired, it's really cool."
The couple snuck in a kiss during Eilish's 21st birthday party in December.
At a lavish Christmas-themed event on December 18, Rutherford and Eilish kissed in front of a large crowd to celebrate Eilish's 21st birthday. It is. The moment was captured on camera by her Phem music artist, who shared it on her Instagram, and guests Avril Lavigne and her Eilish later reposted it on their respective Instagram stories.

Rutherford grew up in Newbury Park near Los Angeles and has been in The Neighbourhood since 2011. He acted as a kid.
Speaking to Maged Up magazine in April 2019, Rutherford said of how his life has influenced his music: "I still plan to write about my experiences, but I think other people haveI try to listen more to what they say and pay more attention to what kind of people are listening to my music."I know of," he said. I grew up with only two women, so it's really special for women to get excited about our music."
Rutherford has an older sister who is a big influence."Her sister is my true barometer, she's about 10 years older than me," she told Complex in January 2021. "She's had a different life than I did.". We've taken very different paths and I've been through what I had to go through, but I've done what I can, so I always question that.
According to the IMDB page, Lazaford has appeared as a child in "Life or Somening Like IT" (2002) and episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise". She started acting on television at the age of five, and she told her in a complicated interview, saying, "I came from such a world by the age of 13."I was going to be an actor. So when I wanted to be a rock star or musician, I learned the role.""
Lazaford has also done pod casting and made his patient's podcast debut in 2020. When I talked to the band about the experience at that time, it was like "when I started doing patients."And I do not advertise much (podcast). It's pretty plain, but because it's attracting attention on the net, people who really want to listen will find them and check them out. I just started a small project, so it seems that there is an idea. I feel like I often say in the podcast. According to the "
Rutherford and Danny Parra run Therapy Records, a music publisher.
In October 2020, Lazaford told Coup De Main about the transition to music publishing."Of course, that happened over time," he recalls."I have been working together for the last six years. I was my engineer for a while, but this album [CHIP CROME & THE MONO-TONES] has been produced together."This album feels like you have finally found your process. I've been looking for it all the time, and I tried it with various people, but in this album I said, "Everyone knows what they are doing."Be as sure as you know what you are doing, and do it without producer."Danny did not produce, but there was no such thing as hiring someone and giving half the budget of the album immediately, so there was little pressure. You can have a good idea to try it because you have a good album budget. Everything in the company. I'm looking forward to it, let's do it."At that time, Danny's existence was very large. When we were engrossed and we knew we wanted everyone to be around, we didn't want to launch a record label. That's because, especially in modern times, all children know the back and back of the record industry. I feel that nobody wants to contract with a record company. I like to give opportunities to the first person, and I think publishing is the best way to do that. It doesn't have to be the largest check in the world, and maybe some people repeatedly large stamps. You may be able to put out. But there is no particular commitment other than creative. You can live a stable life in this world. For those people who want to move to Los Angeles but have no money, but really want to continue music, are good at making music, but have no way to continue. I wanted to give a chance. I like to give that opportunity. And I just put people in the room and make songs. It's the coolest.""
Rutherford debuted an alter ego-like character, Chip Chrome, in 2020.
In an interview with V in December 2020, Lazaford talked about the chroma l-altered parsa persona and called it "art work."Lazaford and its surroundings released the album under the name of persona, chip chrome & amplifier? "Mono Tone" in September 2020.
"I think Chip was the best fan of Jesse," Lazaford says Chrome's figure."Chips were very influenced by Jesse, and I felt like I had returned to my child in my mother's house. When I was at home, I had a creative vulnerabilities and looked at the mirror and said," It's really cool. You can say "ta". Before leaving the door, you may think, "Oh, today."I will wear jeans. And the chip was like "And Chip Was A Way to Be Like."No, not one day. Do this shit right now "

"Because I'm a fucking human, I want to be liked, loved, and attracted to others.""But I basically like to be on the Internet for art, and I think that chip is an art work. I feel like I got my ideas, and for me. What. I think it's exciting. That means I want to be here. "
Rutherford's relationship with social media is complicated, but he follows Eilish on his account.
He stopped all social media accounts on his 27th birthday and "social suicide."That should be. And if it's emo, that's fine, but it's a comment that is ridiculous and interesting, and the whole is stupid.""
Lazaford's musical personality chips have not been posted since December 2021, but have a verified Instagram. Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa are following the account. Airish does not follow, but Chrome follows.
Jesse Rutherford chip account following Billie Eilish
In January 2021, Lazaford r e-posted to the Chrome account."I'm still worried," he generally tells social media."If you don't participate in the Internet at all and actively participate in the flow, you can't help thinking in one corner of your head."I don't think it was in the corner of my head because it was long away, but that was really good.""
"I got high again" was hard. I'm addicted to it. I've been to rehab, relapsed, and now I'm high on it again, and it's really working, so as an addict, I'm like, 'No, no, that's cool. Just have one drink and you'll be fine.' But that's not true. I know," he continued. I know my brain is messed up and it's started again but it's part of the chip and why there's no chip at all I feel like I need to be there and solve this thingTo do, I want to look so bad that I need to see the fucking."
Rutherford counts Euphoria 's Alexa Demie, Blake Griffin and more among his famous friends.
She appeared in Rutherford's "Stargazing" music video with Demie and Griffin. Rutherford said he'd known Demme for years, adding, "[She] was one of her L. A. guys I first met. Griffin, the outlet called Rutherford's childhood a 'big part.'is. V also listed Jaden Smith, Benny Blanco, and Mac DeMarco as some of the singer's boyfriends.
Rutherford last dated model Devon Lee Carlson from 2015 to 2021.
Your Tango says Carlson sparked speculation about her November 2021 when the two removed 'Jessie's girlfriend' from her Tiktok bio after six years togetherpoints out.
Rutherford spoke out about Carlson in an interview shortly before they parted ways as their relationship drew attention. He sometimes struggled to get more buzz out of his music."When I worked on music for a long time and posted it and it got XX likes and then posted a picture with my girlfriend and it got XX… strangeIt's a difficult and confusing feeling," he said in his January 2020 interview. I feel like I have an opportunity to get off the stage or at least try something like that."

CSA Indonesia Virtual Summit 2020
Leveraging Cloud Security in The New Normal and Beyond
Overall, Indonesia is in the developing phases of cloud adoption. The annual growth rate for the Cloud Computing industry is forecast to be 20.7% (CAGR 2020-2025), leading to a market value of US$ 244,370m by 2025. The Indonesian market size is estimated to reach US$ 0.8 billion by 2023, with an estimated CAGR of 25 percent. Over 95 percent of the effect will come from gains in the vertical fields, and just 5 percent will come from direct gains in this still-growing public cloud market for cloud service providers and technology services. Economic growth is projected to produce about 70,000 new jobs, with 47,000 in non-digital positions such as sales, marketing, human resources, finance, logistics, operations, and the remaining 23,000 in digital jobs.
Since early 2020, the world witnessed the spread of COVID-19, and companies turned to cloud computing and a remote work environment globally. The pandemic needs flexibility and innovation, particularly concerning cybersecurity. This pandemic has had an impact downstream on security teams that have suddenly and unexpectedly been forced to deal with drastic environmental changes. Security departments can ensure that their departments work effectively in both on-premise and cloud environments, recognize suspicious behaviors, and respond meaningfully to counter threats and reduce risk. These situations leave us with the following questions to address:
How do you safeguard and secure cloud data?
How do you increase your visibility in securing cloud environments?
How do you ensure the right user has access to their data and not the wrong ones?
How do organizations deal for the post-pandemic cybersecurity with the new threat landscape?

Key Principles and Strategies for Securing the Enterprise Cloud
Edwin LIM (Country Director, Fortinet Indonesia)
Customers are turning to the cloud to reduce capital expenses and increase agility as part of their digital innovation (DI) initiatives. Despite the benefits, cloud migration results in business-critical data and services being scattered across clouds and data centers. This leads to an expanded attack surface and a corresponding increase in security risk.
Some organizations are unknowingly stumbling into a new security paradigm - the shared responsibility model, a model that is built on the assumption that the cloud infrastructure will be secured by cloud providers, while security for services used in the cloud are the responsibility of the organization. The Fortinet Security Fabric was purpose-built to close these cloud-driven security gaps through native integration with public cloud infrastructures, a broad set of security services and products, and cross-cloud security management, automation, and analytics.
Which Threat Intel Should we be Aware of?
Rudi LUMANTO (Chairman, Cyber Security Incident and Resilience Team of Indonesia)
Cyber Threat Intelligence is known as cyber threat knowledge or information which is expected to help implement more effective security controls to provide us with various advantages in building a safe cyber environment. Organizations are then become more proactive rather than reactive to cyber attacks, they are also quicker to mitigate risks and respond to incidents. However, with the rapid development of cyber space and our entry into the industrial era 4.0, threat information become abundant, the biggest challenge for CTI is to provide right information in the right time, so that it will not only technically help but also be useful in decision-making. CTI that only provides non-selective information will eventually become regular news that will not have an impact on increasing cybersecurity awareness. This presentation tries to provide some information on the CTI in Indonesia and see whether it is effective or not to bring awareness to the public or its decision makers. Which intel threat can make us more concerned about our cyber situation?

Cruz and Bieber Both Get Booed
Two U.S. national leaders got booed this week.
Justin Bieber, performing in New York City at "Fashion Rocks," and live on television, was booed by members of the audience. He responded by plugging Calvin Klein and awkwardly stripped down to his underclothes.
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (Republican, Texas) spoke at a gala hosted by In Defense Of Christians in Washington DC. The group seeks to raise awareness of the persecution of Christians and religious minorities in the Middle East. When Cruz said, "Christians have no greater ally than Israel," he was booed. "Let me say this: Those who hate Israel hate America. And those who hate Jews hate Christians. And if this room will not recognize that, then my heart weeps," Cruz said as the audience's heckling started to increase. When the rancor did not end, he walked off the stage after saying, "If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Thank you and God bless you."
After being booed, and stripping, Bieber posted, "Grandma always said kill 'em with kindness…and then strip on live national tv. Lol."
After being booed and walking offstage, Senator Cruz said, "I told the attendees that those who hate Israel also hate America, that those who hate Jews also hate Christians, and that anyone who hates Israel and the Jewish people is not following the teachings of Christ," said Cruz in his statement issued after the event. "These statements were met with angry boos. I went on to tell the crowd that Christians in the Middle East have no better friend than Israel. That Christians can practice their faith free of persecution in Israel. And that ISIS, al Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah, along with their state sponsors in Syria and Iran, are all part of the same cancer, murdering Christians and Jews alike. Hate is hate, and murder is murder….Anti-Semitism is a corrosive evil, and it reared its ugly head tonight."
In Defense of Christians President Toufic Baaklini said, "…a few politically motivated opportunists chose to divide a room that for more than 48 hours sought unity in opposing the shared threat of genocide, faced not only by our Christian brothers and sisters, but our Jewish brothers and sisters and people of all other faiths and all people of good will."
Some Cruz foes wrote that Senator Cruz was well aware that many Middle Eastern Christians are not fans of Israel and they would react to his speech by booing, and that he exploited the event.

BOOK FOR PRE SCHOOLS
"Philosophical dialogues in the kindergarten" Written by Øyvind Olsholt, Maaike Lahaise and Ariane Schjelderup. Read more
Interview with Øyvind Olsholt
by Chiara Giorgetti
While in Rome doing his TEDxTransmedia-talk in September 2012 Øyvind Olsholt met Chiara Giorgetti, an Italian journalist who works for the Royal Embassy of Norway in Rome. After hearing his talk she wanted to know more about his philosophical work with children. They agreed to do an interview. The result can be seen below. It was supposed to be published in the December 2012 issue of the Norwegian Embassy's Italian web site but there has been no publication so far (February 2013).
What does it mean to be a Norwegian kids philosopher?
In a practical sense it means that you are bound to spend a lot of time on your own. No kindergartens, schools, colleges or universities offer employment for kids philosophers. Philosophy may be a part of the curricula in Norway but there is, as yet, few jobs on offer. So one works as a freelancer and creates one's own projects that sometimes catch the interest of individuals and/or institutions.
You have worked in the field of philosophy for children since 1997. How many children have you met and what do children think of philosophy?
I have no idea how many children I have met over the years. I have been in and out of schools and kindergartens for more than fifteen years. But I do know the initial response from children. At first they find the practise strange and sometimes irritating. The vast majority of children today are not used to adults who not only ask a lot of tricky questions but who also fail to be satisfied, let alone impressed, with their answers.
Children today, at least in Norway, are used to adults who support and encourage them whatever they do, as long as it is not openly destructive, which means that they have a very acute sense of entitlement. So when they encounter a philosopher who attempts to examine their opinions, without regard to the supposed merit or non-merit of these opinions, they are taken by surprise.
Of course, in a Socratic sense this element of challenge and surprise is essential to practical philosophy. And to be fair, a lot of children do enjoy the practise and as a consequence start asking more questions to themselves and others.
In 2000 you co-founded Children and Youth Philosophers. Can you tell us about this experience so far?
I started the company in 2000 with my philosopher wife Ariane Schjelderup, but actually we started working with philosophy for children back in 1997. Our first assignment was an eight week project in two kindergartens in Oslo and I can assure you that it was a bit of a challenge for both of us as we had at that time no previous experience with children. During these months we learned the hard way the difference between association and argument, i.e. that relating loosely to what another kid has said is not at all the same thing as making a reasoned judgement of the previous statement. Philosophical dialogue as all about the latter, not the former.
Since then we have arranged numerous seminars for schools and kindergartens, and we have facilitated philosophical dialogues with children, youths and adults. We have also carried out a number of long-term projects, for instance in kindergartens, at the Museum of Contemporary Art and at The International Museum of Children's Art in Oslo.
Have you ever worked with foreigners' children?
I have experience with immigrant's children in Norway, if that's what you mean. Often, these kids do not speak Norwegian very well. But fluency in a language is not a necessary condition for philosophical dialogue. Of course, we must presuppose a basic understanding, otherwise verbal communication is impossible, but, surprisingly perhaps, there is in my experience no distinct correlation between linguistic and philosophical competence.
A native child is obviously more able to express himself than a non-native speaker, but the non-native speaker – precisely because of his social and linguistic state of estrangement, of being "the Other" – may think more, more deeply, more "foundationally," than the native speaker. In other words, a community of language is not necessarily the best precondition for a community of enquiry.
In these days looking around libraries you can see a lot of philosophy books for children, and in Italy this has not happened since the 1970s. In your opinion, has it to do with the new needs that the crisis has underlined?
It is no coincidence that a lot of philosophy books for children are on offer today. And it's certainly no coincidence that these books started appearing in the 1970s. It stems from the progressive spirit of the 1960s. "Philosophy for children" as a pedagogical-ideological movement sprang out of the political climate of the 1960s where one embraced the child as a human ideal.
It was in these years "child-centred" pedagogies emerged. They were meant to replace the traditional hierarchies based on the authority and power of the adult. There was also a frontal assault on the school system whose emphasis on knowledge, facts, values and traditions had (supposedly) led to the neglect and suppression of children's subjectivity and autonomy. As a consequence, there was a renewed interest in all things related to children and childhood. Children's philosophy was one of these things.
Personally, I don't believe in child-centred pedagogy. I think it is contrary to the aim of philosophy: to search for truth. The fact that children are, per definition, at the centre of attention is no guarantee for truth, rather the opposite.
I think, however, that the current economical crisis, while it certainly makes us preoccupied with bare necessities, in the long run will contribute to the advancement of philosophy in the sense that it makes us more aware of reality, the here and now. You see, one unappealing aspect of philosophy is its tendency to encourage pure intellectual dreaming and escapism. The current crisis eliminates – ferrets out as it were – this kind of futile mind games.
You are author of the books Philosophy in School (1999) and Philosophical Dialogues in Kindergarten (2008). Can you tell us something about these books?
Our first book, Philosophy in School , was a contribution to the ongoing debate about the educational system. It explained how philosophy may be implemented and integrated in the grade school and how schoolteachers in all subjects may facilitate philosophical enquiry in the classroom. It presented philosophy as an enquiring, communal practise in the spirit of Socrates and elaborated the Socratic attitude of non-knowledge. It argued that openness, questioning and wonderment may prove shallow or even counterproductive unless they spring from the Socratic insight that "I know that I know nothing."
The other book, Philosophical Dialogues in Kindergarten , sought to inspire preschool teachers to have philosophical dialogues with groups of children, to help children ask – and answer – more questions by themselves. Indeed, in the book we explain why it is imperative that adults don't aid children in the formulation of questions and answers. This is in keeping with the new curriculum for kindergartens in Norway which states that "philosophical reflection" and "children's participation" are important objectives. The book describes in detail how to prepare and facilitate philosophical dialogues with small children and provides also lots of philosophical exercises and activities.
How much did the book Sofies Verden by Jostein Gaarder influence you (if it actually did)?
Not so much, really. When it appeared in the beginning of the 1990s I was already well ahead with my philosophy studies and at the time we, the students, found the book a rather disingenuous and portentous work of art. Actually, as you may know, it was two books in one: on the one hand a short history of philosophy, on the other hand a fanciful story about a girl and her mysterious philosophy teacher friend. I still don't think the two parts go very well together.
It was a massive commercial success, of course, and this fact alone suggested to us, the philosophy students, that there may be a future for philosophy outside academia – in other words, to speak with Hegel, that society may now have reached a stage of consciousness where there is a demand among the general public for philosophy. So many of us started to prepare for a philosophical career outside academia. However, twenty years later, it is no exaggeration to say that most of these former students have now returned to their alma mater. For most of them it proved too difficult to make a living of philosophy – which is hardly surprising because this is the way it has always been. I am one of the few who still hang on.
What's the best description of a philosophy book for you?
Well, I don't know. I could perhaps say it is a book that reveals rather than conceals, provokes rather than soothes, provides deep insights rather than politically correct platitudes – and yet a book that refrains from revealing "the truth," refrains from provoking for the sake of provocation, and refrains from denouncing political and ideological enemies. Also, it must be written in a precise and beautiful language.
What's the meaning of philosophy in 2012? And for kids?
For me the word 'philosophy' has not one meaning in 2012 and another meaning in ten or hundred years. Philosophy, both for children and adults, at least in the Western tradition, is defined by the Greek Antiquity, Socrates and Plato in particular, and I see no reason to "improve" or "ameliorate" their take on philosophy – as a common quest for truth – in order to accommodate current tastes and preferences, whatever they may be.
Small children notoriously ask big question, how can a philosophical dialogue help them?
It can help them break down the big question into smaller parts, i.e. into bite-size answers. No matter how big the question it needs to be answered, and answers are usually more graspable, more hands-on than the questions. Moreover, the translation of questions into answers helps children realise on the one hand that it is possible to answer even big questions, on the other hand that these answers seldom fully answers the question. It prepares them for the sobering wisdom that having to cope without completely satisfying answers to our deepest questions is a part of being human.
Philosophers are sometimes expected to trigger wonder and marvel in the young audiences, like a story-teller or magician. But, as Socrates taught us, such creation (illusion) is the task of the artist, not of the philosopher. The philosopher's task is to make participants conscious of themselves in the austere and not so magic light of reason. Or if you wish, reason is another, more elevated, kind of magic.
How do parents react to the philosophical meeting with the kids? Are they worried about bigger and bigger questions?
Actually, parents love to send their kids off to philosophy sessions. And particularly they love sitting ringside themselves during sessions. We have done this from time to time and it is not only interesting and fun for parents to observe their own offspring in such an unusual setting, they can also pick up ideas and hints on how to have more meaningful dialogues with their kids at home.
