Published material about Olavo de Carvalho
(Opinions of the critics)
* "Olavo de Carvalho is the author of priceless philosophical reflections." (Carlos Alberto Montaner, O Estado de S. Paulo, January 19, 1999.)
* "A man of high competence in Philosophy, he has obtained a wide success both as a scholar and as a professor." (Jorge Amado, Brazilian acclaimed novelist, in a personal letter to their common friend Stella Caymmi.)
* "He gave us definitive proof of the seriousness of his goals and of his comprehensive philosophical scholarship." (Romano Galeffi, Professor of Esthetics, Bahia Federal University, in an official report on the project of my book Aristotle in a New Perspective.)
* "Indifferent to cultural show business, Olavo de Carvalho chose for himself the true intellectual life." (José Enrique Barreiro, TV Educativa, Salvador, BA.)
* "An independent intellectual, free from any links to political groups, and the owner of a wide philosophical culture." (Carlos Cordeiro, Diário de Pernambuco, Recife, August 22, 1989.)
* "I admire in Olavo de Carvalho not only the high value of his intellectual work, but also the polemical vigor of his combats." (J. O. de Meira Penna, former Brazilian Ambassador to Israel and to Poland, Jornal da Tarde, São Paulo, October 10, 1996.)
* "A philosopher of great erudition." (Roberto Campos, Minister of Planning (1964-67), Brazilian Ambassador to the United States and to the United Kingdom, Folha de S. Paulo, September 22, 1996.)
* "Monumental! His work has the wide breadth of an epic of the word, the fearlessly bright word, the brave and exact word." (Herberto Sales, prominent Brazilian novelist and member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters, in a personal letter.)
* "The most brilliant and controversial Brazilian thinker." (Monica Grigorescu, Rompress ~ Romanian National News Agency, July 3, 1997.)
* "A man of intellectual courage." (Jarbas Passarinho, former Minister of Education, O Estado de S. Paulo, June 19, 1988.)
2. On The New Age and Cultural Revolution
* "Excellent and timely." (Josué Montello, president of Brazilian Academy of Letters, in a personal letter to the author.)
* "A living being, magnificent, enlightening." (Jacob Klintowitz, art critic of Jornal da Tarde, São Paulo).
3. On Aristotle in a New Perspective
* "Olavo de Carvalho goes right to the founders of Western philosophical tradition." (Paulo Francis, O Globo, January 5, 1997).
* "If Voegelin had read this, he would have incorporated your thought into his own to explain how we proceed from perception to science." (Frederick Wagner, Eric Voegelin Society, letter to the author, February 14, 2005).
* "…de Carvalho's paper is very well organized and quite consistent – on a solid philosophical, interpretative and historical foundation… It contains a convincing and fascinating explanation of the organic, historical development of discourses across cultures (and, incidentally, reminded me of Voegelin!). This is followed by excellent rational justification ("logical necessity of the four discourses") and by a thorough psychological explanation with detailed analysis of the discourses in relation to human activity. This structure makes Mr. de Carvalho's treatment very complete, without any residue. I particularly liked his discussion of the unity of human knowledge in its unfolding; the interplay between imagination and reason; also the particular analysis of the dynamism of each discourse (in its vicinity, relying on the antecedent and subsequent discourses). Here, the author gives an excellent, informed account of Aristotle's epistemology and emphasizes the mapping from process to method which is indeed very consistent with Aristotle's view. I was quite impressed by his relevant note on modern studies on the inseparability of the discourses (the very pertinent mention of Pratt, Perelman, Kuhn, Godel) and with his rejection of Aquinas' linear scale of "worth" among the discourses. The author is very mature and doesn't let himself get carried away by his thesis, but plans carefully and handles all aspects in the proper historico-philosophical context; and he is always explicit about his intentions, never obscure. He does not avoid apparent inconsistencies or difficulties, trying to resolve or explain them. This is how philosophy is supposed to be done." (Tudor Munteanu, Eric Voegelin Society, letter to Frederick Wagner, February 27, 2005).
* "Never since Giambattista Vico had there been so luminous an interpretation as to end the mystification of the 'two cultures'." (Mendo Castro Henriques, Professor of Philosophy, Lisbon Catholic University, (Portugal) in a letter to the author.)
4. On The Garden of Afflictions
* "Few books have I read that made such interesting and beneficial reading as The Garden of Afflictions." (Josué Montello, president of the Brazilian Academy of Letters.)
* "Inexhaustible erudition and unflinching intellectual honesty. The trumpet call for the resurrection of Brazilian independent thought." (Bruno Tolentino, prominent Brazilian poet, in the preface to Prof. de Carvalho's influential book The Garden of Afflictions.)
* "A wonderful book, a burst of light in the darkness." (Leopoldo Serran, Jornal do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro, September 6, 1996.)
* "If his work distinguishes itself from the shallow and pedantic prose of contemporary philosophies, it is mainly for its lively and good humored style, for its generous erudition and for its tireless search for intellectual honesty." (Antônio Fernando Borges, Jornal do Brasil, January 6, 1996.)
* "Rich and profound erudition, as can be seen in his philosophical essays The Literary Genres and Aristotle in a New Perspective, both succinct, concise, conceptually rigorous and guided by a refined logical method." (Vamireh Chacon, Professor of Political Science at the University of Brasilia, Jornal de Brasília, January 22, 1996.)
5. On The Collective Imbecile
* "An indispensable book. Demand it from your bookseller!" (Paulo Francis, O Globo and O Estado de S. Paulo, July 28, 1996.)
* "An appalling intelligence and an unsurpassable mastery of its subject." (Ângelo Monteiro, Diário de Pernambuco, November 23, 1996.)
6. On the Introduction to Otto Maria Carpeaux's Collected Essays
* "An extensive, profound and beautiful introduction. Never having met him personally, Olavo de Carvalho probed very deeply into Carpeaux's intellectual drama." (Edson Nery da Fonseca)
* "A rich critical outlook of an important moment of Brazilian intellectual history." (Carlos Heitor Cony, preface to Ensaios Reunidos de Otto Maria Carpeaux, vol. I. (Rio, Topbooks, 1999.)
7. Opinions of American critics
* "Professor Carvalho has been one of the most astute analysts of Brazilian politics. He has courageously attacked official corruption and its broader cultural consequences. He has been a strong defender of the interests of the United States and a critic of simpleminded anti-Americanism. His is an important voice in hemispheric political debates." (Bryan McCann, Georgetown University, History Department, Associate Professor).
* "I have known Olavo de Carvalho and his work since the spring of 2006. At that time, I had the pleasure to edit his very fine manuscript, entitled "Aristotle in a New Perspective". After editing the manuscript, I took the uncharacteristic step of forwarding it (with the author's permission) to a few of my former professors at the University of Notre Dame. I did so because I was quite certain that the manuscript marked a highly original contribution to our understanding of Aristotle — which is no easy feat, given the sheer volume of scholarship surrounding this ancient thinker." (Jodi Bruhn, Ph.D. Research Fellow, Institute On Governance, Ottawa, Canada).

love, #Pope Francis said in his Sunday #angelus address, during which he also remembered today's persecuted Christians.
The pontiff recalled the passage from the Gospel of Mark which recounts how passersby on Calvary mockingly told Jesus to save himself and come down from the Cross.
Following the recitation of the Angelus in Latin, Pope Francis recalled Saturday's beatification of Federico da Berga and his twenty-five companions, martyred 1936 amid the persecution of the #Church in Spain. The pontiff observed that these martyrs priests, young friars awaiting ordination, as well as lay brothers of the Franciscan Capuchin Order of Friars Minor.
"I ask all of you to pray for this journey, in order that it may be for all these brothers and sisters, as well as for me, a sign of closeness and love," the Pope said.

Deerkill Day Camp, owned and operated by the Rhodes family since 1958, is a traditional coed day camp that offers a warm and supportive environment on a beautiful suburban campus. The camp's group leaders, the counselors who are with the children throughout the day, are mature adults, not college students. Deerkill has programs for campers from ages 3 through 14. Deerkill offers a superb swimming program, team sports and a dozen specialty programs in the creative and performing arts. The campus has 15 developed acres including a theater studio and a dozen specialty buildings. The large enclosed basketball pavilion, gymnastics building and three mini gyms allow the camp to offer a full program even on rainy days. Swimming instruction is in heated pools with one counselor to every three children in the water. All campers are picked up and dropped off at their door by air-conditioned mini-buses supervised by bus counselors. Hot lunches, towels, supplies, field trips, a free family weekend club and other "extras" are included, and no tipping is allowed. Deerkill encourages parents to visit camp while it is in operation, and the camp always encourage communication between group leaders and parents.

Q: How to produce YAML with keys in insertion order Go? I'm using Go-Yaml to serialize some maps to YAML. Is there a way to ensure the serialized YAML is writen with the keys in the order they were inserted into the Go Map? Or will it be necessary to reimplement the Marshal interface myself?

A: Go maps do not keep track of order of insertion.  In order to do this you'd have to implement your own mechanism for reading in the keys and storing the order.

Toni Freixa: It was impossible for Leo Messi to play free for Barcelona
October 18, 2021 Tanbir Ahmed Barcelona, LALIGA 0
Toni Freixa was a member of Barcelona's board of directors three times. The first was with Joan Laporta as president between 2003 and 2005, then under Sandro Rosell from 2013 to 2014, and, finally, in 2015 in the first year of the reign of Josep Maria Bartomeu.
On Monday he spoke to Radio MARCA about the General Assembly held at the Camp Nou on Sunday and other news related to the club.
"There was a bad situation, and we did not have time to deal with all the problems, and [the aseembles] had to be stopped," he said.
"It seemed right to me. With the speed at which it was moving, it was clear that there would be no time. There were 12 different points and you could see that their movement didn't allow for that."
Barcelona faces Real Madrid on Sunday and Frixa believes a positive result could signal a change in the team.
"It's a unique game. It's always fun to watch," he said.
"For us, it can be a sure sign of a change in habits from which we started the season. Barcelona will compete for everything and will stop keeping an eye on the coach."
With the departure of Leo Messi, Freixa dismissed the possibility that Argentina could play for free.
"The idea that Leo Messi should play for free was an automatic declaration," he said.
"The Board's renewal program for Leo Messi did not include Messi playing for free. Impossible with the idea of Financial Fair Play. It was an anecdote."

A panel of writers discuss the rise of romantic fiction featuring POC and LGBTQ protagonists.
Protagonists in romantic fiction novels are purposely meant to be stand-ins for the reader; an alternative version of their ideal selves living out their ultimate romantic fantasies free of judgement. However, an overwhelming majority of romantic fiction features cis-gendered, white, able-bodied, heterosexual protagonists—an inaccurate reflection of the genre's diverse readership.
Adriana Herrera speaks with Nisha Sharma, Alysia Constantine, and Damon Suede about recent rise in inclusive and diverse romantic fiction, and the ways in which their own experiences and backgrounds have influenced their written work.
Alysia Constantine's debut novel, Sweet, was awarded the 2016 Foreword Indie Awards Honorable Mention for LGBT literature. Adriana Herrera is one of the co-creators of the Queer Romance PoC Collective and serves as the VP of Programs for the Romance Writers of America New York City Chapter. Damon Suede has served on the national board of the Romance Writers of America. Nisha Sharma grew up immersed in Bollywood movies, eighties pop culture, and romance novels, so it comes as no surprise that her first YA novel, My So-Called Bollywood Life, features all three.
This panel will be followed by a Q&A. Participants' books will be available for sale and signing.

What's Trending Today?
Israel Celebrates Eurovision Contest Win
Israel's Netta performs after winning the Grand Final of Eurovision Song Contest 2018 at the Altice Arena hall in Lisbon, Portugal, May 12, 2018.
This is What's Trending Today…
Netta Barzilai is sassy, she is fun and she can sing. Now, the 25-year-old Israeli is the winner of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest.
She won with a catchy dance song about women's empowerment called "Toy."
It is Israel's first win since 1998, and fourth win overall. Netta beat competitors from 42 other countries.
About 200 million people watched this year's contest, held in Lisbon, Portugal. Votes came in live Saturday from the capitals of participating countries. The final moments were tense, with Israel in a close, five-way race with Cyprus, Austria, Sweden and Germany.
Thousands of Israelis took to the streets early Sunday to celebrate Netta's victory. Fans gathered at Tel Aviv's Rabin Square. The City Hall building there was lit up to spell "Toy." Electronic signs throughout Tel Aviv congratulated Netta.
Netta was already a huge hit in Israel thanks to her personality and humorous performances.
Her winning song's main line is "I'm not your toy, You stupid boy, I'll take you down." Her message seems to appeal to fans. The song had more than 20 million views on Eurovision's YouTube page even before Saturday's main event.
Her win means Israel will host next year's Eurovision contest. But it also means much more than that. Israel often feels under siege. And it celebrates international success that supports its image of itself as a normal country -- in a big way.
A win at the hugely popular Eurovision contest is as big as it gets. For example, "Hallelujah" became the country's unofficial national song after it won Eurovision for Israel in the late 1970s. And Dana International became a national hero when she won with "Diva" in 1998.
Netta took congratulatory phone calls from the nation's leaders. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called her Israel's "greatest ambassador."
Izhar Cohen was Israel's first Eurovision winner back in 1978. He told the Associated Press that Netta's win is "a moment of joy that makes everybody together…."
"Because we are separated with so many views and political sides and all that, this contest made us one country, one people and I'm so happy for that," he said.
'Next time in Jerusalem'
News of Israel hosting next year's contest in Jerusalem came as Israel marked the yearly Jerusalem Day, the anniversary of what it describes as the city's "unification" following the 1967 war. It also came a day before the United States officially moved its embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.
On Saturday night, the Eurovision television hosts turned to each country to hear their votes. Jerusalem was the only capital city not called by name.
As she picked up her award, Barzilai shouted to the crowd, "I love my country. Next time in Jerusalem!"
And that's What's Trending Today…

Portugal Celebrates Eurovision Song Contest Winner


Party, party partaay, let's all get legendarily schwasted! That's seemingly Teddy's (Zac Efron) unspoken words to live by in the twenty-fourteen party movie of the year — Neighbors. Just remember not to break Teddy's golden rule of upholding a promise or you might have a house load of bad situations on your hands. In recent 21st-century party-film memory, other comparable films at a cover level would be Superbad (2007) and Project X (2012). Story-wise, it has a different take from being outside looking in. Therefore, giving the fitting title of Neighbors. Other big name actors to play in Neighbors include Seth Rogen, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Dave Franco. Not to be confused with his older brother the Green Goblin II aka James Franco.
With his acting performance in Neighbors, also dubbed Bad Neighbours in some countries, Efron has stepped up his acting career and successfully graduated from his Disney kid "pretty boy" High School Musical persona and proved to be on par with the college level of that. Which as you guessed it involves girls, lots of drinking, and of course the underlying staple of all that; partying. Zac fit this role perfectly giving the character Teddy some suspenseful and edginess. From beginning to end, you weren't sure if you were getting the serious do-anything-for-your-breathe side or the go-hard-or-go-home side.
Hopefully, Zac doesn't fall into the seemingly endless black pit of repeating roles like Seth Rogen who doesn't seem to venture too far from his typical party hard, 420-blaze-it, center of it all, joke slinging role. Which I do give credit that he plays naturally in every aspect. However, it's the same Rogen we got from Knocked Up. From which all we needed was Mini-Me "Jonah Hill" Rogen to make a cameo for this to be the sequel. Neighbors just happens to takes place after the kid pops out. But could we really expect anything different from Seth? This is what "the mass" has come to expect from him. You're most likely better off walking into a Michael Bay movie and not expecting explosions then not expecting Rogen to play a character like this.
Christopher Mintz-Plasse who plays a supporting character named Scoonie falls under the same scrutiny as Rogen. The world loved the McLovin character from Superbad, but maybe we want to McLove another character. How many times can we play these similarly developed and delivered characters out, let alone together?
Alongside Rogen is Australian actor Rose Byrne who plays a firm motherly wife to be the ying to Rogen's yang, for the most part. She did add a twist showing some wild side to take the edge off of. Arguably the same way Efron's character was developed. With this performance I find myself looking forward to seeing her with more main character roles on the big screen.
The soundtrack was pretty middle ground with top 40 hits from Ke$ha, Fergie, Flo Rida, to Icona Pop. We also got a twang from David Bowie, K'Naan, and Larry Goldings. All of which fit without a hitch in or around a frat house party environment.
After feeling like I tore this film to shreds, there was plenty to keep me from walking away from it. Neighbors contained a slew of hilarious moments strung throughout the movie from breast feeding jokes, Robert De Niro impressions, to male meat sticks being reproduced via 3D printing and mold castings. All of which to the comedic value at the end of the day.

No matter where you are in your career, no matter how successful your business is, the law of inertia can stop your momentum, stunt your growth and cause you to miss fulfilling your potential.
The pull of the comfortable, of "good enough," is almost irresistible. Inertia is actually more powerful, and dangerous, the more successful you are. Because resting on your laurels after finally getting that hard-won success is so easy.
You lose your hunger for success and either stop fighting to move forward or you assume you'll magically stay ahead. But the world around you doesn't stop, so neither can you.
While escaping the power of inertia is hard, at least everyone faces the same temptation. Getting sucked in isn't a sign of weakness on your part. So acknowledge that the struggle against inertia is universal and avoid unnecessary self-recrimination or guilt. Stay focused on the road ahead.
Awareness is the first step to defeating inertia. Know the risk of becoming restive and learn to recognize the signs that you're giving into inertia.
Start with a diagnostic of yourself and your company. Sit down and take a good hard look at your business practices, your habits and the trajectories of your career and business.
If you're honest and thorough, you'll almost certainly find signs of inertia. That's good. That means that your diagnostic has been successful. You've set yourself up to conquer this common obstacle.
Write down what you find and make a plan to fix the bad habits. Don't throw out your notes after you've solved the problems you found in your diagnostic. They'll help you recognize future signs of inertia in your business.
After you've performed your diagnostic and start to fix the issues you've found, periodically check in with yourself. Regularly monitor your business behavior so you catch the effects of inertia before they affect your business.
The best way to proactively avoid inertia is to fan the flames of your ambition. Keep reaching, keep adapting, advance your career and grow your business.
Think about next steps. But don't just think, actively plan for them and making them happen. Don't daydream about what could be for your organization. That's just another form of inertia. Look at what you can do today to make those dreams a reality.
Another key to avoiding inertia and maximizing ambition is to look for weaknesses in your organization or gaps in your expertise. Rounding out your abilities prevents you from getting pigeon-holed and stalled.
To be more specific, think about the new market you want your business to break into or the new client you want to bring on. What gaps do you need to fill in to make that happen? Answer that question, and you'll find you have the beginnings of a plan to realize your next ambition.
So keep looking at the horizon, and check your feet every once in a while to make sure you're on the right path. You'll leave inertia in the dust.

Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma Chairman John Berrey has submitted letters to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in support of the tribe's application to place 160 acres east of Little Rock into federal trust and accusing Oaklawn Racing and Gaming of stirring opposition to the tribe's application.
Berrey's letters follow two others sent to the bureau last month by Barry Hyde, the county judge of Pulaski County, and Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola that presented arguments against the tribe's application.
In a letter dated last week and released Friday, Berrey restated the tribe has no plans to change the use of the land it already owns, and it has no plans to change the land's use to allow for a casino on the property.
Berrey wrote that Oaklawn officials have been behind concerns the tribe plans to build a casino.
"Recently, we became aware that the Oaklawn Park horse racing track located in Hot Springs, Arkansas, has been expending substantial resources to generate opposition to the application on the incorrect theory that if this land is taken into trust the Tribe could automatically develop a casino," Berrey wrote to Kevin Washburn, assistant secretary of Indian affairs for the U.S. Department of the Interior.
Hyde and Stodola both said they had not been contacted by Oaklawn officials about the tribe's application. But Stodola said he believed an Oaklawn official had attended public city meetings where the tribe's application was discussed.
An Oaklawn official referred to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette by a media liaison was unavailable for comment Friday.
The other letter was to Randall Trickey, realty officer in the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Eastern Regional Office in Nashville, Tenn. That correspondence addressed specific points of disagreement with Pulaski County's argument that the tribe's application was incomplete.
Placing land into federal trust gives the federal government the title to the property but exempts the land from state and local taxes and most state and local laws. Berrey has said placing land into federal trust is strategic because it adds protections to property, including preventing alienation, which is the ability of a property or property rights to be sold or transferred.
"The Quapaw Tribe acquired the land at issue primarily because of its cultural and historical significance to our people. Not only does the tract contain Quapaw burial mounds, but it is within our original homeland in Arkansas," Berrey wrote to Washburn.
For the tribe to build a casino on the property, the property would have to be taken into trust and then the tribe would have to apply again to the Bureau of Indian Affairs for a gaming license.
Without that license, under federal law, tribes can establish gambling on land acquired into federal trust after Oct. 17, 1988, only if that land is declared "last recognized reservation" land, meaning it was acquired in a recognized treaty and the tribe is present.
Presence includes the tribe's exercise of its own authority on the land and the presence of tribal members on the land. The land also must be in a state with no present-day reservation for that tribe as of Oct. 17, 1988.
The Quapaw tribe does not have tribal members living on the land in Pulaski County and has not been exercising tribal law there.
A Bureau of Indian Affairs official said last month that tribes rarely decide to build casinos without first indicating that they would do so on their trust applications, adding that such a change of course has not happened in recent memory in the Eastern Region overseen in Nashville, which includes 26 states east of the Missouri River.
A tribe would have to go through a separate, more scrutinized application process for a casino, which would include some public comment opportunity and consideration, the official said.
Local officials have suspected the tribe of wanting to build a casino, although no tribal officials have expressed any public interest in doing so.
The tribe acquired the land in two 80-acre purchases in 2012 and 2013 for a total of $1,372,000. The land -- the former Thibault plantation -- is home to tribal artifacts and graves, although most of the area is used for soybean farming.
The land is also home to the graves of former slaves, and the tribe has entered into a partnership with Preservation of African-American Cemeteries to protect the graves.
In Stodola's letter to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, he said the city could not support the tribe's application unless it volunteered the land for annexation into the city of Little Rock after being taken into trust.
Stodola wrote he was concerned about any "residential, multi-family, or commercial" use of the land, which is in close proximity to the city's industrial port just south of the Arkansas River on the city's east side.
The Little Rock port, established in 1959, is an $800 million industrial park home to dozens of businesses that employ about 3,500 people. It is set to expand with funds from a 0.5 percent sales tax approved by Little Rock voters in 2011.
The tribe's land lies in an area considered strategic for expansion of the port, sandwiched between vacant land owned by the port to the west and Welspun Tubular to the east. It also lies south of the rest of the port, with some noncity land in between.
While refraining from taking a position on the tribe's application, port officials have said the area wouldn't be conducive to the heavier traffic that many nonindustrial uses might bring.
Stodola also said the tribe's land would not be subject to eminent domain if it were annexed into the city after being placed into federal trust.
In Pulaski County's letter, Hyde argued the tribe's application was incomplete. He later said in an interview that he would still oppose a complete application because he doesn't want to lose county land.
Their respective letters were signed by only Hyde and Stodola, not county or city attorneys. Stodola said Friday that he wrote the five-page letter from the city himself; Hyde said senior staff attorney Adam Fogleman wrote the county's letter.
The county's response was generated after working with other county attorneys, an attorney from Attorney General Leslie Rutledge's office and an attorney from Gov. Asa Hutchinson's office, Hyde said.
"I was never even approached by anyone from Oaklawn," he said Friday.
A response from the governor's office to the Bureau of Indian Affairs is expected later this month.
Hyde said he recognizes the tribe was unjustly removed from its native land in Arkansas in the 1800s and forced into Oklahoma.
"My way to remedy that past is to befriend them and work together," he said.
Berrey has said repeatedly that the tribe does not plan to build a casino but has not made any written agreements with local agencies to explicitly prohibit a casino or other uses in the future.
The Quapaw Tribe already operates two casinos in Oklahoma, along with childhood learning centers, a convenience store, a golf course, a tribal museum, a fitness center, a construction management team and counseling services.
Stodola said Friday that he, too, likely would be opposed to those kinds of land uses for the Pulaski County plot in question because they are incompatible with the industrial port.

A rapidly aging white population and fast-growing younger minority groups are speeding demographic changes across the nation, hastening a political divide likely to have long-term ramifications.
The percentage of the U.S. population that is white has decreased from 79.6 percent in 1980 to 61.9 percent in 2014. The percentage of Latino-Americans has increased from 6.4 percent to 17.3 percent over the same time period, while both the African-American and Asian-American populations have grown, too.
US President Barack Obama has said he may speak out after leaving office if he feels his successor Donald Trump is threatening core American values.
By convention, former presidents tend to leave the political fray and avoid commenting on their successors.
Mr Obama said he would give Mr Trump time to outline his vision but added that, as a private citizen, he might speak out on certain issues.

Twitter users in France can now 'tweet money'
Written by Hari Srinivasan
Twitter has teamed up with a French bank to allow users to transfer money by tweet.
Apple recently announced its Apple Pay service for the new iPhones. Facebook is rumoured to be developing apayment system for its Messenger function. Now, Twitter is catching onto the payment revolution by offering users in France the chance to transfer money by tweet.
The social media giant has teamed up with French bank BPCE to offer users a new money transfer service.
E-money subsidiary of the bank S-money is developing the technology, which will be available to anyone who has both a bank account and a Twitter handle within the country.
Designed to be quick and convenient, it will also mean that users don't need to know the details of the recipient's bank account. In turn, that could relieve some security concerns.
Nicholas Chatillon, S-Money chief executive, said the company now "offers Twitter users in France a new way to send each other money, irrespective of their bank and without having to enter the beneficiary's bank details, with a simple tweet."
Person-to-person (P2P) payments are an important frontier at the moment, but it isn't just the social networks that are trying to break in on the action.
For example, it was also S-money that surprised many when it announced it had developed a P2P service for Google's nascent Glass technology.
It makes perfect sense for Twitter to look at payments as a next logical step. It is already working on mechanisms such as adding Amazon products to a user's wishlist through a simple tweet – though they have to go directly to Amazon to complete the purchase. Rumours that it had been developing a "Buy" button were confirmed in September, while payment startup Stripe was named as the force enabling the transactions.
However, it may also be an important part of a strategy to boost Twitter's potential sources of income. The company has famously yet to turn a profit, and alongside ongoing attempts to boost user growth and develop new ways of attracting advertising funds, it seems that the lucrative world of financial services could also be a promising revenue stream.

Bathurst Female Factory
From 1815, as the settlements around Bathurst grew, the need for convict labour, especially the skills of women became obvious. So too did the need arise to house the convict women between work assignments, during times of illness or confinement and as a place of punishment for misdemeanours or as a refuge for women and children. A plan was initiated to have a Female Factory in Bathurst. It was decided to use the abandoned Commissary store as an ideal place for housing the women convicts.
The Bathurst Female Factory was opened in the early months of 1833 and operated until the new gaol was built in 1844. This was significant to the history of women in Australia as Bathurst was the second most important female factory on the mainland. The building was remodelled for use and hundreds of female convicts were sent to the factory where they were assigned out to work using their many skills in farming, dairying, needlework, nursing, food production and manufacturing. Indeed these women married and had children and either stayed in the area or moved off to become pioneers with their families in other parts of Australia.
During September 2019 it is planned to use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to investigate the likely site where the Female Factory was located. See news story in the local Western Advocate here

We're Not Gonna Pay!
By Micaela Cummings
The lottery has become an important part of the theatre going experience. In some cases moving from an in person lottery to an online or digital lottery. For the last 20 years the lottery has evolved into how we know it today and it all started with Rent.
Patrons anxiously await for their name is called for the Wicked lottery outside of the Hollywood Pantages Theatre.
On April 29, 1996 Rent opened on Broadway at the Nederlander Theatre in NYC. It quickly became the show everyone had to see. As tickets became more expensive and scarce, many complained that they simply could not afford to attend the show.
Lottery hopefuls fill the box office lobby as names are called out.
The show's producers offered 34 seats in the front two rows of the orchestra for $20 each on a first come first serve basis on the day of the performance. Jumping at the opportunity for discounted tickets, people began to form lines at the break of dawn. Suddenly, a new model was born.
Cody Jamison Strand (Elder Cunningham) from the cast of The Book of Mormon calls out the names of the lottery winners.
On September 7, 2008, over 10 years after the first lottery names were called, Rent on Broadway held it's final lottery. The video below shows the events of that day. Do not stand in between a Renthead and their tickets!
Today, many are still taking advantage of the opportunity to wait in line, or in some cases, digitally enter for inexpensive tickets. The phenomenon not only occurs on Broadway but in touring houses all over the United States.

'Forward' is a collaborative exhibition of works by Kyra Crounse, Nick Dvorak, Anja Honisett and Emily Tillman. As a farewell to their time as painting majors at SCAD with the precarious futures of their professional lives in the forefront of their minds, they have chosen to exhibit a collection of works indicative of their unique individual styles. The result is an eclectic combination of portrait, landscape and abstract paintings — each artist contributing a snapshot of their body of work, produced through extensive and individualized studio practice.
Kyra Crounse (Pensacola, FL) was raised in Keller TX. Crounse explores the idea of creating imagery and memory of places previously unvisited by the viewer, her paintings are rendered in matte acrylic mediums on paper and panel.
Emily Tillman (Daytona Beach, FL) is inspired by her spontaneous emotional responses to music. Tillman's energetic physical process consists of the active development of a multitude of layers resulting in experimental, large-scale mix-media abstract paintings.


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Daytona 500 pole winner Chase Elliott put an exclamation on his qualifying effort with a victory in Thursday night's first Can-Am Duel at Daytona International Speedway.
Elliott passed second-place starter Brad Keselowski for the lead on Lap 37 and held it the rest of the way—through a wreck that altered the positions of the two Open Team drivers trying to race their way into the field for the 59th running of the Great American Race.
In the second Duel, defending Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin got a huge push from Austin Dillon and passed Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the next-to-last lap to win the race by .214 seconds over Clint Bowyer, who was competing for the first time in the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford.
Earnhardt, making his return to competition after missing the last 18 events of 2016 because of a concussion, was shuffled back to sixth at the finish behind Kurt Busch in third, AJ Allmendinger in fourth, and Austin Dillon in fifth.
Earnhardt led 53 of the 60 laps, and for most of the race appeared likely to join Elliott, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, as a Duel winner. But Elliott prevailed where Earnhardt fell victim to a freight train in the outside lane.
"I just had a lot of steam under the hood, really," said Elliott, who won his first race in a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series car. "I think that was the biggest thing. The temperatures tonight being kind of cool, it really suited our car well. Just a great way to start the season. I know it's just a Duel win. We wished it counted towards the Playoffs.
Even though Elliott didn't get credit for an official win, he did score 10 points for the victory—the first time since 1971 that points have been awarded in the Duel.
Earnhardt was a sitting duck when Hamlin made his move on the penultimate lap with a line of cars behind him.
"I don't know what I could have done differently to defend that," said Earnhardt, who was denied a third straight Duel victory. Once I heard the No. 3 (Dillon) was clear on the outside, I knew they was going to have a big run. Denny is so smart, and he knows what he's doing out there. He's one of the better plate racers out there.
Hamlin was glad Dillon's Chevy was there to give the No. 11 Joe Gibbs racing Toyota the decisive push.
"We definitely had a strong car, but so much of that race was single file, and so it was really tough to show what we could do in the pack once we got two and three wide," said Hamlin, who worked his way back to the front after a penalty for rolling through too many pit boxes under a competition caution on Lap 27. "But it looked like our car could make some really good moves and got a great push from the 3 (Dillon) there at the end.
On Lap 49 of the first Duel, the two drivers trying to race their way into the field, Corey LaJoie and Reed Sorenson, were running in heavy traffic, with LaJoie trailing Sorenson as the cars sped through the tri-oval. Contact from LaJoie's Toyota on the rear bumper of Sorenson's Camry sent Sorenson spinning into the Chevrolet of Paul Menard.
Both Sorenson and Menard slid through the large paved area just past the entrance to the Daytona road course, with Sorenson slamming into the SAFER barrier to the inside of Turn 1. The crash eliminated Sorenson from the race.
With an 18th-place finish, LaJoie locked himself into the 500 as the highest finisher among the open drivers in his Duel.
Sorenson was understandably upset by the wreck and by having to wait for the second Duel to see if he would make the field on speed as the third-fastest open qualifier. But Sorenson was disappointed for a second time when Canadian DJ Kennington nipped Elliott Sadler at the stripe by .039 seconds to earn the final spot in the race and knock Sorenson out.
Sadler was already in the 500 by virtue of his qualifying speed from last Sunday's time trials.
Note: The Can-Am Duel set the starting order for Sunday's Daytona 500. Elliott and Earnhardt secured the two front-row positions in qualifying. Following them will be the top finishers from the first Duel in order on the inside lane and the top finishers from the second Duel in order on the outside lane.

Trump Dismisses Dispute Over Whether Possible Soleimani Attack Was Imminent
VOA Contributor January 13, 2020 Trump Dismisses Dispute Over Whether Possible Soleimani Attack Was Imminent2020-01-13T19:25:16-05:00 Featured No Comment
VOA News By Ken Bredemeier WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump on Monday dismissed as irrelevant questions about how imminent a threat Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani posed to American interests in the Middle East when Trump ordered a drone strike that killed him. Trump offered no evidence supporting his claim that Soleimani was about to blow up four embassies, after key officials declined Sunday to say they had seen such a specific threat.
