He was 69.
Curry, of Laurel, Maryland, died suddenly on Saturday at Washington Adventist Hospital in Takoma Park, Maryland, after he was taken to the emergency room there, his sister, Charlotte Purvis, said on Sunday.
Curry's syndicated column was carried in more than 200 African American-owned newspapers, and he served two stints as editor-in-chief of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a news service for black papers.
He also served as editor-in-chief of Emerge magazine in the 1990s and had been raising money to relaunch Emerge as a digital magazine covering racial injustice and other issues important to the black community. He became the first African-American to be elected president of the American Society of Magazine Editors.
He was a frequent commentator on Black Entertainment Television and on the Rev Al Sharpton's radio show.
Among many other tributes on social media, Sharpton tweeted: "I am saddened beyond words upon hearing of the death of George Curry. He was a giant and trailblazer. RIP."

MONTHLY NEWS PUBLICATION[/two_fifth][three_fifth_last padding="0 0px 0 10px"]Emerge was a monthly news magazine that was published from 1989 to 2000. Its primary focus was on issues of interest to African Americans. In 2000, Time said Emerge was "the nation's best black newsmagazine for the past seven years" the St. Louis Post-Dispatch described it as "the premier source for intellectual discussion on issues affecting African-Americans", and the New York Amsterdam News wrote that "it had no rival for cutting edge news for and about the Black community". The magazine was headquartered in Washington, D.C.
Wilmer C. Ames had the idea for Emerge, which he envisioned as a general interest magazine for upwardly mobile African Americans. He was the majority owner of Emerge Communications, the magazine's publishing company. Time Inc. owned 19.5 percent of the company and other investors, including Black Entertainment Television (BET), together held 29.5 percent. Ames planned to publish the first issue of Emerge in October 1988 with an initial circulation of 150,000. Publication was delayed when one of the investors failed to produce the funds it had promised.
The magazine launched instead in September 1989. In its first issue, Ames described Emerge's target audience: "As the collective effort of the Civil Rights Movement dissolved legal racial barriers, sustained individual efforts have resulted in a growing list of 'firsts' in achievement as black professionals have pushed to new heights and into new fields…. Emerge is a magazine designed to meet the needs of this new, affluent generation, a generation that assumes different kinds of responsibilities along with the new opportunities and freedoms it enjoys." The Los Angeles Times noted that Emerge was competing against "stalwart publications" that already served the black middle class, such as Ebony, Essence, Jet, and Black Enterprise. Ames told the Los Angeles Times he hoped Emerge would "complement", rather than replace, those magazines.

At the end of its first year of publication, USA Today wrote that Emerge had a paid circulation of 105,000, with 50,000 issues distributed free to members of black professional organizations and fraternities—"although not the same 50,000 each month". The magazine's publisher, Donald Anderson, said that about 30 percent of those who received free copies went on to subscribe. USA Today described the readers of Emerge as "the underserved upper-middle class segment of the audience, the Cliff and Claire Huxtables", referring to the affluent couple from The Cosby Show. Emerge's readers had a median age of 45 and an average annual household income of $71,000. More than three-quarters owned their homes, 86 percent had attended or graduated from college, and 45 percent had post-graduate degrees.
In May 1991, BET bought Time's stake in Emerge Communications. Although the terms of the deal were not announced, Time said it had made a profit on its $1.5 million investment. After the transaction, BET owned "close to 70 percent of the magazine".
Ames died in 1992, and George E. Curry replaced him as Emerge's editor-in-chief. He felt the magazine had lost its focus on news, and he made changes to restore it. Drawing African-American journalists from the top newspapers in the United States, Curry replaced the magazine's staff.
In July 1994, BET announced that Emerge, which it said had "never broken even", would cease publication unless an investor or buyer came forward. The publisher estimated that an investment of $4 to $5 million over three to four years was necessary. The following month, MettersMedia Network purchased a 55 percent stake in the magazine for $2.8 million. During the first nine months of 1994, newsstand sales of Emerge increased 46 percent, and Curry told the Bay State Banner in February 1995 that the magazine's circulation might double over the next two years.
Emerge unexpectedly stopped publication in June 2000. The Washington Post said its circulation was 170,000, "more than most political magazines".

Longtime yoga teacher has heard it all before; callers once threatened to burn crosses on her yard for teaching yoga classes.
Longtime yoga teacher Loa Freeman, who founded the first yoga studio in Springfield in 1993, has heard it all before.
The claim that yoga has "demonic roots" is based on ignorance and misinformation, she says.
Freeman was surprised and disappointed when the Rev. John Lindell, pastor of James River Church, in October preached from the pulpit that yoga has "demonic roots" because Hinduism has "demonic roots."
Lindell's 52-minute sermon is on YouTube.
Some 20 years ago, Freeman tells me, she deliberately called her Monday night yoga class in Bolivar a "sewing class" in an attempt to avoid hostile attacks that yoga is unholy or not Christian.
Nevertheless, the Bolivar newspaper found out about her secret yoga class and Freeman agreed to a story. It was published and she discovered her concerns were justified.
"I received several anonymous calls threatening to burn crosses on my front lawn," she says.
That never happened, she tells me.
Freeman has taught yoga at both hospital networks in Springfield — St. John's, before it became Mercy, and CoxHealth.
She worked with legendary basketball coach Charlie Spoonhour, who coached the Missouri State University men's team from 1983 to 1992.
"I helped them with things like body alignment when shooting free throws," she says.
Freeman felt yoga had advanced to where it was more accepted and better understood.
"I had hoped that we had moved beyond prejudices and the lumping of the science of yoga with mysticism," she says.
I watched Lindell's sermon, and there was little he said that surprised me.
Also, there isn't a criticism that's been lodged against him since my colleague Alissa Zhu's story ran this week that he did not already address in the sermon.
I have practiced yoga off and on for years. I do it for a very focused reason. I believe it helps me become more flexible, which makes me a better runner, one less likely to be injured.
After watching the video, I don't believe Lindell is either misinformed or ignorant. Clearly, he put much research into his sermon.
What you have to understand is that Lindell approaches yoga through a literal, Assemblies of God interpretation of the Bible.
In the sermon, he addresses practitioners just like me. He understands that people do yoga for the physical benefits without once thinking about Hinduism.
He acknowledges that yoga has become pervasive in our culture and for many, it is little more than a routine of stretching and exercising.
"Yoga, it seems is everywhere. For example, if you go to the local Y and you go on their website and you click on the healthy living link, you will find no less than 31 references to yoga: advanced yoga, beginning yoga, chair yoga, gentle yoga, hot yoga, prenatal yoga, restorative yoga, sona yoga, vinyasa yoga, yin yoga and yoga.
"My point in mentioning the Y is not to pick a fight with the Y. The Y does some very admirable things in the community. Simply, though, I am using the Y as an example of the prevalence and acceptance of yoga in our culture and the overwhelming embrace it has received from an organization whose roots are decidedly Christian."
Lindell uses "demonic" to describe anything that prevents or hinders a connection between a person and God — with "God" being what he and many evangelicals consider the one true God of the Christian faith.
Hindus and Buddhists will not go to heaven and will spend eternity in hell, they believe.
There is no disputing, he says, that yoga is rooted in Hinduism, and, therefore, in his view, it is "demonic."
The sun salutation, for example, is a form of worship of the Hindu sun god, Surya, he says.
Have I ever once thought that while performing the sun salutation that I was worshiping Surya?
Never. Instead, I'm typically thinking: Why am I so sore?
Lindell wants his congregation to at least consider that they just might be worshiping a false idol.
Because of the Bible's first commandment: "I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt have no other Gods before me."
Have you read the Hebrew scriptures lately? God is jealous and gets angry a lot.
In the sermon, he first talked about the dangers of dabbling in the paranormal and occult, including fortune-telling, psychics, Ouija boards, horoscopes, tarot cards, Wicca, communicating with the dead and entertainment that focuses on zombies, ghouls and haunted houses.
"Walking Dead" fans, he's talking to you.
He saved yoga for last and seemed to know it would be the toughest sell to his congregation.
"How did we make the leap to yoga?" he asks.
"I don't do it to make anybody mad. If I made you mad, that is unfortunate. But I have a responsibility before God as a shepherd of souls to say, 'I told you the truth.'"
If you use yoga for flexibility and core strength, Lindell preaches, have at it.
But don't call it "yoga," because the word "yoga" brings you right back to Hinduism and, in his view, worship of another God.
As for me, I'm going to keep calling it "yoga" and continue to call myself a "Christian" — and hopefully, become a better runner.
Unlike the Reverend Lindell, I do not believe all Hindus, including, let's say, that ne'er-do-well Mahatma Gandhi — and all people of all other faiths — will burn in hell for eternity.
But I see no harm in his sermon — other than some God-fearing fair-weather yoga practitioners might briefly stop taking classes.
To me, that's like readers who read one news story or one column that they don't like and cancel their subscription. Odds are, they will be back.
But here is where I do see harm.
It's when the reverend preaches — as he has done in the past — about the sinfulness of homosexuality. From the pulpit, he instructed congregants in 2015 to vote against a measure that offered protections in housing, employment and public accommodations. The measure was rejected.
Some of his followers now say he is being persecuted for his views on yoga.
I don't think so. His preaching on homosexuality hurts real people who love God. In my opinion, that's a real persecution that history will not view kindly.

How to Write novel Book
Writing a new book
It will pay enormously to take a little time to learn how to write a novel before you start writing. The award-winning writer Randy Ingermanson lists the best books on how to write a novel. It' a hell of a book about writing a novel. Convenient, down-to-earth, easily assimilable, presented with humour and authority. I' ve got what I call the novelist's crowbar.
As one writes a novel in 7 jours.
If you can't release your writer's block, hit harsh. I' d begun about eight stories, each at a certain narrative stage, but none of them were final. I was driven by the idea of getting involved in what I was about to describe, the exploration of immediate-book. Suddenly and unexpectedly, publishing houses commission these works to non-fiction writers or editors to take the opportunity to increase the number of issues sold.
Reading about immediate journals about the launch of one of them, which concerned the death of a super star, this idea immediately became tempting. Immediate author collects all the information he can through the breakin' news articles and life story of recently past fame, going down to work like there is no morning.
On my diary I indicated a seven-day period to begin, end and go through all the work. I' ve defined a page number that I want to achieve in order to consider my novel as a full-length novel; 185 pages. This is the correct number of words for an ordinary novel. The research can take a long timeframe according to the subject.
I' ve decided to tell the early years of the artist deco super star Tamara de Lempicka, and I've been reading about her in about six to eight volumes, along with stories and acts about the times in which she was living, the Roaring Twenties, who deal with the arts, but also with political and historical work.
Because you' re focused on a very brief period of writing a full-length novel, you must be in passion for your storyline and your protagonist. I' m completely on the fringes of Tamara, her work and the way she lived her world.
More than a paintress, she was a rock star of her age. You' ve got a great deal of work to do in a very short amount of elapsed times and while you're doing it, you've got lives going on all the while. Just take a few lessons away from your work. When I was in a small flat at the cooking counter with my future bride and three children, I was writing my immediate work.
Scribe like hell. I' ve also asked the guys who took up my invitation to buy the entire first design if I would have finished it in the period I had made. And I don't recall how many were approved, but I do recall that half of them were paying for the bill. This design was drafted in my mother tongue ltalian and had the working titel Andromeda Unachaed.
If your sweetheart is refusing to talk for a long period of speaking you must take charge and compel yourself to do the work. When I couldn't get to the end of a first drafts due to many things, like sloth, low self-confidence, quality of life, quality of life (which is a falsehood; you make time), focus and beginning depressiveness, then I should get things right once and for all.
The first design was coarse, instinctual and far too detailed. A lot of textbooks talk about their crafts and their eccentricity. She was the one she was, I spoke about her, told all the stories and stories of her lifetime and imagined that I was there to see her. The grammar ensures that everything you enter is simple to understand, efficient and error-free.

in The Montauk Monster
Be Afraid To Go Out Tonight – The Montauk Monster Is Here!
That's right lasses and lads, my very first thriller, THE MONTAUK MONSTER, is finally here. Available everywhere in paperback and ebook through Pinnacle, this non-stop monster-thon is breaching the Montauk shores and spreading like a contagion across the globe. It's always been my dream to have one of my books in paperback. I don't know, there's just something special about them, and this story is very special to me.
When I wrote this one, the original title I had in mind was Night of the Montauk Monster because my little pets like to do their dirty work when the moon is high and the skies are dark. Somewhere along the line my editor chopped it down a tad – maybe because it fits better on the cover.
Just last month it was named one of the best reads of the summer by Publishers Weekly. The early reviews have blown this monster lover away.
"Hunter lets it all fly, and as horrific as it may be, it's absolutely glorious." — Horror Novel Reviews
"I suspect you'll be seeing copies all over the beach this summer." — Beauty in Ruins Reviews
"One of the most anticipated summer reads of 2014!" — The Horror Bookshelf
It being release day and all, I figured I'd start thing out with a little excerpt from the first third of the book.
Margie plucked a pack of Kools and a lighter from the table and went out the kitchen door. Their house had central cooling, and it felt good to get some fresh air, even if it was slightly warmer and about to be laced with cigarette smoke.
The first cigarette disappeared like it was a prop in a magic act. She lit another with the dying stub of the first and took a long drag. Insomnia and chain smoking weren't ingredients for a long, healthy life, but they were her crosses to bear. On nights like this, three or four coffin nails put her in the frame of mind to get a few more hours sleep.
A blazing white moon hung large and heavy in the sky. The soft, steady night wind carried the smell of mint from the patch she'd planted in the back of the yard.
"I have to make mojitos tomorrow when Les comes home," she said, tapping her ashes into the dented tray they got from a long ago trip to the Catskills. It was sad knowing the ashtray outlived the resort.
She walked around the yard, enjoying the quiet of the night, eventually finding herself in the front yard. Every house along both sides of the street was dark. More than one of her neighbors had told her they slept better knowing she had an eye on the block. Her inability to sleep made her the unofficial neighborhood watch. In no small way, it made her embrace her condition. Everything happened for a reason.
Margie jumped when something crashed in the backyard. Flicking her cigarette into the street, she dashed along the side of the house. She pulled up short when she entered the yard.
"What the – "
Her patio table was turned over on its side. The folded umbrella had snapped in half from the fall.
It would have taken a hell of a breeze to knock that over. She sighed with relief when she got close enough to see that the glass top hadn't cracked. Les would have a fit when she told him they needed to buy a new umbrella.
She thought about waking him up to help her right the table. It was lighter than she thought and she was able to do it on her own.
"Unbelievable," she said, inspecting the break in the umbrella stand.
Margie whipped her head around to see what had made the noise. It had come from the impenetrably dark strip under their dogwood tree.
Stupid kids, she thought. Late night pool hopping was common in July, and her yard was part of the route between the above-ground pools to the left and right of her house.
"You're going to pay for a new umbrella," she called out. "I know you're there. Swimming's over for tonight."
Something moved in the dark. There was no muffled teen laughter. She felt whoever was under the dogwood tree was watching her, waiting to see what she would do next.
Margie's chest turned to ice.
She stood motionless, her hands atop the table. Try as she might, she couldn't see a thing back there.
Scritch!
It was the sound of something sharp dragging across the bark of the tree.
There was more movement than ever now; the sound of shuffling feet amidst her rhododendrons.
She slowly reached into her pocket. Running her thumb over the wheel of her lighter, Margie hoped the flame would discourage any strange, stray animals from getting any closer.
Whatever was in her yard brought a palpable weight of menace.
The night breeze shifted, blowing from the dogwood's direction. A sharp, terrible odor bit into her. She recoiled, and the light went out.
A large paw emerged from the shadows, followed by another.
Margie's heart thudded into overdrive when its hideous face emerged.
And it was not happy.
Oh, poor Margie. The surgeon general never thought of maniancal monsters when they came up with the warning on packs of cigarettes.
If you like what you've read, take the plunge and pick up a copy. I believe right now, Amazon gives the best deal. Or stop by your local book store or Walmart or anyplace that sells books. If it's not there, ask for it and it shall come! Then pack it in your beach bag next to your sunscreen and towels. You may just eye the water in front of you a little differently.

This is Lou, Art Director at Kensington…the man who designed your cover. Hope you are happy with how it turned out. I started reading last night on the LIRR on the way home…enjoying it greatly. It does hearken back to JAWS in a good way. Can't wait for the savagery to really kick in.
PS those Mets have been killing me since my first game in 1976…Ya Gotta Believe!
Hunter Shea says : June 7, 2014 at 5:43 pm
Hey Lou, thank you for doing such a great job. I love it and people are really drawn to it on the bookshelves. If you're on the LIRR, you're in Montauk Monster Land. Hope you like it!
The Mets have become another 4 letter word. I was just in Chicago where I got to watch them get swept by the worst team in the league. Maybe Hernandez and Darling will take the field again.
Renae Rude - The Paranormalist says : June 7, 2014 at 10:21 am
I went to the bookstore today. Guess what I bought? (There are a couple of pics at my blog.)
Congratulations, Hunter.

Res Nullius?
Home / Insights / Res Nullius?
This article is taken from Paul Howcroft's blog Art Law London
When and where I studied law, the Roman Law course was compulsory. In retrospect, all I got from it was a collection of Latin legal terms. The use of legal Latin became politically incorrect in the 1990s, culminating in the Civil Procedure Rules, which even changed "writ" to "claim form". Perhaps a new generation of lawyers brought up on Harry Potter will restore the balance, but I digress.
A res nullius in Roman Law was a thing that belonged to no one, and yet, I was taught, there was no such thing in English Law, except perhaps a corpse. If an object's owner cannot be identified, it does not make the object ownerless, and therefore ownership cannot be acquired by the taking. That can make some objects problematical, and one such object is on a plinth outside the Houses of Parliament. I refer to Henry Moore's sculpture "Knife Edge Two Piece" which is the subject of an interesting article by Martin Bailey in The Art Newspaper.
Apparently, the artist and the Contemporary Art Society, which paid for the casting, gave the work to the grateful nation in 1967, and what was then the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works accepted delivery. However, when the British Council recently wanted to send the sculpture for display in the garden of the Kremlin (as it would), it could find no national or local government department or agency that had any record of ownership, which explains its neglected state.
In recent years there have been several reports of Moore's scuptures disappearing from public spaces, perhaps due more to the rising price of bronze than enthusiasm for 1960s art. In light of that, and a case called Sullivan [2002], where a defendant was acquitted of theft because the money he took did not seem to belong to anyone, should one not be organising a hoist and a heist? Sadly there are two reasons why not. The first is that the Sullivan case has not been followed and is regarded as bad law, and the second is that "Knife Edge Two Piece" is in one of the highest security areas in England.

Obřany jsou zřícenina hradu v Hostýnských vrších poblíž Bystřice pod Hostýnem v okrese Kroměříž. Od roku 1973 jsou chráněny jako kulturní památka. Zbytky hradu se nachází na území přírodní rezervace Obřany.

Historie
Hrad založil před rokem 1365 Boček z Kunštátu a Poděbrad. Nazval jej podle zaniklého rodového sídla Obřany u Brna. Došlo však k tomu bez souhlasu moravského markraběte Jana Jindřicha i jeho bratra českého krále Karla IV. Ten nařídil v roce 1366 demolici hradu, ale výsledkem bylo patrně jen pozastavení jeho další výstavby. Hrad byl v první polovině 15. století patrně provizorně využíván a zničen až za husitských válek. Poté již nebyl hrad využíván a nahradila ho nově zbudovaná tvrz v Bystřici pod Hostýnem.

Popis
Tvar hradu Obřany byl velice uzpůsoben úzkému a protáhlému vrcholovému hřebeni o rozměrech přibližně 120×20 metrů. V západní části jsou pozůstatky okrouhlé strážní věžice. Ve východní části jsou terénní náznaky rozměrného paláce. Hradní válcová věž stojí na nejvíce chráněném místě s širokým výhledem. Na jižní straně hradu jsou terénní pozůstatky příkopu a valu (které nebyly dostatečně dokončeny) a nacházela se zde vstupní brána.

Zajímavosti
Se svou nadmořskou výškou 704 metrů je po nedalekém hradu Skalný druhým nejvýše položeným hradem na Moravě. Historik Václav Štěpán považuje toto tvrzení za mylné a uvádí výše položený hrad Rabštejn u Rýmařova ležící ve výši 805 m n. m., případně slezský Koberštejn u Jeseníku ve výši 934 metrů.

Pod zříceninou hradu se nachází vodní pramen Táborského a Ondrúškův (původně Hladová studánka). Je pojmenován na počest etnografa-spisovatele Františka Táborského a malíře Františka Ondrúška, kteří sem často docházeli a vodili své přátele.

Ohrožení památky
Torzo hradního zdiva je značně pobořeno a trvale podléhá destrukci, způsobené zvětráváním, vandalskými zásahy i pády stromů.

Peoria, Illinois, March 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Athletics, particularly on the national stage, has always been a point of pride for Bradley University. That's evident again as men's basketball won its first Missouri Valley Conference title since 1988, earning them a spot at the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006.But the win isn't the only achievement visible on a campus where students often know and hang out with student-athletes. From basketball to track to volleyball to cross country, Bradley athletes are racking up wins and records while excelling in the classroom and contributing to the community.
-- Bradley men's basketball scored back-to-back seasons with at least 20 victories. Women's basketball improved its overall and Missouri Valley Conference records for the fourth consecutive season, highlighted by 24 victories in 2018-19. -- The Braves earned three Academic All-Americans, including a pair of first-team scholar-athlete selections in 2017–18 that tied a school record. The seven sports recognized by the NCAA set a school record and led the conference. -- Athletics also garnered its third-straight conference All-Academic Award and a record 46 conference scholar-athletes. For graduation success rates by student-athletes, Bradley was at 93 percent, above the average for both the conference and all Division I schools. -- Men's cross country has won four-straight MVC championships, while men's track had a school-record 86 points and a fourth-place finish in the MVC Indoor Championship — the first in the top four since 1970. The men, who were ranked 25th nationally, ran for the first time at the NCAA Cross Country Championship, where they finished 24th, after a second-place finish at the NCAA Midwest Regional. -- The women's distance medley won its first conference title and the team more than doubled last year's overall score by the end of the indoor championship. Women's cross country earned its fourth MVC title in five years. -- Last year, the Braves landed a spot at the NCAA Men's Golf Championship for the first time since 1955 after winning their first conference title. -- Last fall marked volleyball's first postseason appearance at the National Invitational Volleyball Championship. To get there, the team racked up a 14-1 record at home and the most MVC victories since 2001. -- Student-athletes, coaches and staff have contributed more than 10,000 hours of service to the community in the last three years.

Ickler: The 22nd Amendment becomes the enemy
By Glenn Ickler/Local Columnist
Jun 23, 2019 at 2:14 AM Jun 23, 2019 at 2:14 AM
"You don't think he's serious, do you?" asked my Uncle Fud, as we sat on his front porch at Chigger Mountain Farm eating Aunt Dud's fresh-baked blueberry muffins.
"Surely, he's joking," said Aunt Dud.
"I'm not at all sure he's joking," I said. "He's mentioned it before. Last April he told a crowd he might stay in office 'at least for 10 or 14 years.'"
In case you haven't deduced the topic of this conversation, it was the Chief Tweeter's recent tweet about the possibility of his serving more than two terms as president.
"The 22nd Amendment of the Constitution strictly limits the president to two terms," Aunt Dud said. "In fact, it forbids a third term even if there's a break between it and the second."
"Be serious," I said. "You know that Donald Trump has absolutely no knowledge of and very little interest in the Constitution that he has solemnly pledged to defend."
"That's right," Uncle Fud said. "What was his exact tweet this time?"
"I've got it right here," Aunt Dud said, looking at her iPad. "After whining about the coverage he gets in the Washington Post and the New York Times, he says: 'The good news is that at the end of 6 years, after America has been made GREAT again and I leave the beautiful White House (do you think the people would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA GREAT), both of these horrible papers will quickly go out of business & be forever gone!'"
"They'll certainly have a lot less to write about after he leaves the beautiful White House, but I doubt that his blessed absence will put them out of business," I said. "Both papers have been in existence much longer than the Chief Tweeter has been in office, even though it seems like he's been there trampling on the truth forever."
"You really think he might not be joking?" Uncle Fud said.
"Look at who his heroes are," I said. "He congratulated Vladimir Putin on winning an unopposed election, he's said he's in love with the murderous North Korean dictator he used to call 'Little Rocket Man' and he cheered when Xi Jinping was elected president for life in China. He even said, 'I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day.'"
"My god, president for life?" Uncle Fud said. "How would he do it, with the 22nd Amendment and all?"
"I don't how he'd do it, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that he has people looking for ways to wiggle around that obstacle," I said. "Maybe a crowd of those loud mouths wearing red MAGA caps would form an armed circle around the White House and not allow the winner of the 2024 election to be sworn in."
"A bloodless coup?" said Aunt Dud.
"Not necessarily bloodless," I said. "His subjects have been known to rough up people, especially members of the media."
"Or maybe he would declare one of his many national emergencies, deputize the military and surround the White House with tanks and machine guns," said Uncle Fud.
"But surely Congress would take action to remove him," Aunt Dud said.
"Again you're thinking wishfully," I said. "Very few current members of the Trumpublican Party would have the intestinal fortitude, commonly called guts, to stand up and defend the Constitution. Chief Toady Mitch McConnell would certainly support him."
"Think we'll hear more about this when he speaks on the Fourth of July?" Uncle Fud said.
"Oh, my god, that's right," I said. "He's taken over the capital's Fourth of July celebration and plans to make a campaign speech."
"I can just hear it; I could write it for him," Aunt Dud said. "Fellow Americans, the Fourth of July is a day set aside to celebrate all the great things your president has done in spite of the Mueller witch hunt, fake news, Crooked Hillary, immigrant rapists and Obama Care."
"This is the largest crowd ever gathered in Washington on a Fourth of July," I continued. "The largest crowd ever gathered anywhere on the Fourth of July. Another record for me."
"Abe Lincoln came to me in a dream and said he was immensely honored by my presence at his memorial," said Uncle Fud. "Abe was a good Republican president but his first two years in office can't compare with all the wonderful things that I've done in my first two years. And he didn't have to deal with the Mueller witch hunt and that Enemy of the People, the media. And not only that, I'm taller than he was. I'm the tallest president ever."
"No matter what the polls say, I know I have 99 percent approval of Republicans, billionaires and the NRA," I said. "That's an all-time record, and I will keep on setting records as long as I am in this office, which today I promise you will be the rest of my life."
"Stop right there," said Uncle Fud. "That ain't one bit funny."
"And let's make sure it ain't one bit possible by throwing him out in 2020," said my Aunt Dud.

This article is intended for a technical audience.
A service set to Automatic startup may fail to start when the system is booted, but will start correctly when started manually later.
This may occur if the service takes a relatively long time to start, and the system is sluggish at boot due to the increased (albeit normal) startup activity. Once the system has fully booted, the service starts normally when invoked manually because the system is not so busy.
This occurs because Windows will terminate a service which has not notified it that it has started within a certain period.
This may be worked around by lengthening the timeout Windows uses before terminating a slow-starting service.

Q: Why am I able to conditionally call a hook one way, but not the other? Context:
When I refresh the dashboard, useHasPermission makes an async call to determine if the
user has access to somePermission.
Issue:
hasPermission initially evaluates to false, but once the async call has completed hasPermission evaluates to true.
This causes the useQuery, Apollo hook to not be called on the first render, and then called on the second render.
The following error is shown:

"Rendered more hooks than during the previous render."

Question:
Why does this error only happen in example A and not example B?
// Example A: Does not work
const Dashboard = () => {
  const hasPermission = useHasPermission([somePermission]);

  const getDashboardData = () => {
    const { loading, data, error } = useQuery(SOME_QUERY, {
      variables: { ...someVars }
    });
    return

  };

  return (
    {hasPermission ? getDashboardData() : null}
    <Announcements></Announcements>
  )
}

// Example B: Works
const Dashboard = () => {
  const hasPermission = useHasPermission([somePermission]);

  const DashboardData = () => {
    const { loading, data, error } = useQuery(ACCOUNTS_FOR_CUSTOMER_DASHBOARD, {
      variables: { ...someVars }
    });
    return

  };

  return (
    {hasPermission ? (
        <DashboardData></DashboardData>
      ) : null}
    <Announcements></Announcements>
  )
}

A: Hooks aren't meant to be conditionally used.
In the first example, you are conditionally calling a function that uses a new hook and returns JSX, so this breaks the rules of hooks.
In the second example, you are creating a new component DashboardData that mounts conditionally. So because it is a new component it is allowed.
So the difference between the two is in "A" useQuery belongs to the Dashboard component, where in "B" it belongs to DashboardData.

Module version of SS 2017
WS 2018/9 SS 2018 SS 2017 WS 2014/5
PH2206 is a semester module in English language at Master's level which is offered in summer semester.
Complementary catalogue of special courses for Applied and Engineering Physics
Responsible coordinator of the module PH2206 in the version of SS 2017 was Sherry Suyu.
The universe outside our Milky Way was recognised as such less than 100 years ago. Within less than a century extragalactic astrophysics has become a major research field. Major topics of extragalactic astrophysics are the description and physical understanding of galaxies, the clustering of galaxies in groups, galaxy clusters and large scale structure forming the cosmic web.
The course will describe our Milky Way as a galaxy and how it relates to other galaxies. The local environment of the Milky Way and the Andromeda nebula forming the Local Group and the relation to the nearest galaxy cluster, the Virgo cluster, will be described. Galaxy morphologies and how they relate to the star formation activity are further topics, which will lead to the global evolution of star formation and the evolution of galaxies. Major components of galaxy formation and evolution are the dark matter and the feedback processes. Active Galactic Nuclei, the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, can influence the evolution of galaxies. As quasars these objects can be observed throughout the universe and represent beacons for the study of gas clouds and intergalactic gas. The extragalactic sky can be observed at many wavelengths and the most energetic events are typically extragalactic.
After this course the students should feel confident with topics concerning galaxies as physical entities and their role in the universe. They should have a good understanding of what objects can be observed in the universe and how structure within the universe has formed.

ur Quality Assurance processes is led by Richard Darlington, Director of Quality and Miss Hannah QA manager. They process are designed to meet the standards expected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Skills for Care and to reflect the quality standard for organisational management ISO 9001.
Our Quality Assurance processes is led by Richard Darlington, Director of Quality and Miss Hannah QA manager. They process are designed to meet the standards expected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Skills for Care and to reflect the quality standard for organisational management ISO 9001. We have a comprehensive system of Quality audit in place, where we measure the quality of our services against recognised standards and make improvements to our service delivery where they are needed to ensure people have a positive experience of care.
The purpose of our Quality audit systems is to ensure that our services continuously improve. We have a review cycle where we gather information and lessons learned from a range of different processes including: Audit findings are discussed monthly by the Senior Management Team (SMT), resulting in an action plan that is delivered in a variety of ways, including team briefings, changes to policies and procedures or changes to staff training. To check how well the plan has been implemented, we include relevant checks in our next audit cycle.
Our clinical governance policy gives a framework for continually improving the quality of our services and outlines structures, processes and systems to manage the quality of our service provision. One of our key governance principles is to work in partnership with service users and carers. This means that we have a better understanding of their priorities and concerns, and can deliver our services in a way that meets needs and preferences.
We invest in education, training and continuing professional development for all our staff, which means that they have the knowledge and skills to do their job effectively. We only use evidence-based care that has been proven to be effective in helping people recover from illness or injury. This combination of doing what works, delivered by skilled and knowledgeable staff, gives service users the best chance of successful and speedy recovery.
We manage risks to service users, staff and the organisation through a range of policies and protocols, risk assessments and regular reviews of significant events. Policies to minimise risks for service users include equalities, confidentiality, consent, infection control and safeguarding. We understand what can go wrong, how to prevent it, and how to put systems in place to reduce risks.
We have an open reporting culture so that staff feel comfortable discussing PSI's and raising safety issues. We have achieved this by treating staff, service users and carers fairly and with empathy and consideration when they raise issues. They realise that we will not look for a 'scapegoat' but instead look at how we can work together to prevent a similar incident happening in the future.
We believe that effective management of Patient Safety Incidents (PSI) comprises an immediate action to remove the person from harm and follow up action to prevent further incidents.
The first step in achieving this is to develop a 'safety culture' in the organisation. We have achieved this through strong leadership, regular team briefings, effective supervision, training in risk assessment and patient safety, reviews and learning from incidents. This includes sharing patient safety alerts so we learn from other providers and prevent things happening wherever possible.
Our staff are aware of risks and what can go wrong, and also what they have to do to put things right, which leads to a safe environment for service users that protects them from harm.
At Chosen Care, we aim to excel in the provision of the highest quality care services and work in partnership with the Local authority and NHS to ensure that the services delivered result in safe, effective and personalised care for all our patients. Each year we review the quality priorities we agreed in the previous year's Quality Account. Our quality priorities form part of Chosen Care overall quality framework which centers on nine drivers of quality and safety, helping to ensure that quality is incorporated into every one of our service users and that safety, quality and excellence remain the focus of all we do, whilst delivering the highest standards of care.
March 2017 Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspected our service, England's health and social care regulator. These comprehensive inspections have provided external validation of the quality and safety of care we deliver and pleased to report that our service to date has been rated as 'Good', with our staff commended for their kind and compassionate care.


Unfortunately, our information for Longaberger items is no longer being published in print format. The last Bentley Guide book was printed in 2008-2009 (16th Edition) and while we do see the books occasionally show up in the secondary market, we no longer have any copies of this last edition, or previous editions still available. We have been sold out for quite some time.
I can't say that we will NEVER print again, but at this time there are no plans to do so. We plan to continue keeping up on the research and making the information available through our BentleyOnline service.
Trust us, this was a very, very hard decision for us and one that just broke our hearts ... As the one who was responsible for actually putting the Guide together each year, it was 'my life' for 16 years ... Blood, sweat and tears!
Unfortunately, with printing costs, the less you print, the higher the costs and over the last 2-3 years of printing, it was taking us longer and longer to pay off those costs. The quantities we ordered/sold kept decreasing each year and as we looked at the projections for that last season, it was showing us that we would actually LOSE money if we printed another book, which of course is not the goal for anyone. It was a very sad decision because we loved the book, too, and saw so much value in it.
We don't know if we'll ever be able to publish another printed version, but at this time, it's not something we see being able to do unless there should be a major shift in demand. This reality is what convinced us to be proactive in moving everything to our Online format knowing it would allow us to continue sharing the information, without having the exorbitant cost of printing.
We understand it's not the same as having a book in front of you, but remember that this site IS ACCESSIBLE from mobile devices which is wonderful when you need the info when you are out and about. We also hope that being able to continue in this way will allow us to keep up on the research and at least provide the information to those who will still value it for many years to come!
So, if you have not already signed up for our BentleyOnline service, that is what you would need to do to keep updated, going forward. You can sign up or review more information about the service on this website. One of the many features of BentleyOnline is that we are able to keep it updated throughout the year, so you don't have to wait to get new information once a year, like you did with the book. When new products are released, we try to get the information online as quickly as possible. There are also the added benefits of being able to create an inventory of your items as well as quickly search our database for items, which was not possible with the book. It really is a GREAT TOOL and we think you'll find it even more helpful than the book!
We sincerely appreciate your support and are so thankful to have so many of you for so long. If you want to provide us with your current mailing address, we can update your file to be sure that we know how to get a hold of you should we decide to print again ... Until then, we hope that you will consider moving Online with us, as I know you will find it a very easy, very fun format, as well!
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to let us know!
THANK YOU FOR COLLECTING WITH US!

Cuban Pastor, Family Arrive in U.S. after Suffering under Regime
Monday July 11, 2011 Cuba, Religious Persecution
Authorities imprisoned, fined church planter who fought for religious freedom.
MIAMI, July 8 (Compass Direct News) — An evangelical pastor once jailed by the regime of Fidel Castro arrived in the United States from Cuba yesterday with his family under a special resettlement program for political refugees.
The Rev. Carlos Lamelas, 50, his wife Uramis and two daughters, Estephanie, 18, and Daniela, 10, landed at Miami International Airport Thursday evening (July 7) on a direct flight from Havana.
Lamelas, who once served as national president of his denomination in Cuba, was granted asylum in the United States due to persecution he has endured for more than five years at the hands of Cuban authorities. On Feb. 20, 2006, security officials conducted an early morning raid of his home and arrested Lamelas.
They accused the successful evangelist and church planter of "human trafficking," a charge related to aiding Cubans who wish to escape Cuba without government permission. Those close to Lamelas, however, said police targeted him because he had challenged the Castro regime on religious liberty issues.
During his imprisonment, hundreds of letters poured in from fellow Christians around the world, confirming their prayers for him and offering encouragement. Jailers admitted to Uramis Lamelas that the correspondence created difficulties for them, and that they "had decided on a change in procedure."
Steven A. Hassan, PhD, MA, M.Ed., LMHC, NCC is America's leading cult expert, and one of the world's foremost authorities on cults and mind control.
Four months after his arrest, Lamelas was unexpectedly released. Authorities tried him in court in December of 2006. The state prosecuting attorney recommended acquittal on the human trafficking charge, which carries a sentence of up to nine years in prison.
Later that month, however, the court convicted Lamelas on a previously unannounced charge of "falsifying documents" and fined him 1,000 Cuban pesos (US$45). The move was seen as an effort to save face and send Lamelas a message that he was still under surveillance.
Denied means of employment following his imprisonment — leaders of his denomination had earlier expelled Lamelas from the church at the behest of government authorities — he supported his family as a freelance photographer.
Fearing another unexpected arrest and possible long-term imprisonment, Lamelas applied for political asylum in 2010 but was denied. He described the ordeal to friends as "our spiritual waters of Mara. As when Moses was leading the God's people through the wilderness and, hungry and thirsty, they found the bitter waters of Mara."
A U.S. official in Havana familiar with the Lamelas case encouraged him to reapply for asylum. Following interviews with the family on March 22, the Department of Internal Security determined they qualified as political refugees.
The family will be resettled in Texas under the auspices of the Division of Refugee Affairs of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Lamelas admitted that the news that they had qualified as political refugees came as a shock, albeit a welcome one. Tense months of waiting and uncertainty had aggravated nagging health problems — he has suffered from chronic stomach ailments since his imprisonment. But once he learned of the asylum decision, he began to recover.
"For our part, we have been open to the will of God, and we know He will take us where we can best serve Him," he wrote. "Our moral commitment with the Lord's work is permanent and without borders . . . We know that many brothers and sisters have collaborated for our benefit — we're sorry not to know specifically who they are. Nevertheless, we want them to know that our love and gratitude is sealed in our hearts for the rest of our lives."

Indonesian Supreme Court Decision No. 42 of 2012: Validity of Indonesian Presidential Decree No. 3 of 1997
Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia, Posted by Daniel Peterson, 13 January 2017
This challenge to the validity of Indonesian Presidential Decree No. 3 of 1997 on the Surveillance and Control of Alcoholic Beverages was submitted by Front Pembela Islam (FPI - the Islamic Defenders' Front), represented by Habib Muhammad Rizieq Syihab, the founder and chairperson of FPI, and KH. Ahmad Sabri Lubis, the secterary-general of FPI.
The applicant cited several teachings from the Qur'an and Hadith, the Holy Bible, and Buddhism that prohibit the consumption of alcohol, as well as Hinduism, which discourages excessive consumption of alcohol. As a state based on the principle of One Almighty God (Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa), the applicant submitted that Indonesian Presidential Decree No. 3 of 1997 should, therefore, be invalidated for contradicting the religious values contained in Pancasila ('five principles' - Indonesian state ideology) and the 1945 Constitution because not one religion in Indonesia permitted or deemed halal the consumption of any alcoholic beverage. The applicant also cited the physical effects alcohol consumption can have on people, as well as other people who may fall victim to alcohol-induced theft, battery, abuse, rape, and even murder.
The applicant also submitted that Indonesian Presidential Decree No. 3 of 1997 was contrary to several national statutes, including arts 46 and 47 of Law No. 36 of 2009 on Health. This was because the decree only categorised alcohol rather than prohibiting it, while the detrimental effect alcohol can have on health repudiates the aim of arts 46 and 47, which is to improve the health of Indonesian citizens.
The court questioned whether the applicant believed its rights and/or authority had suffered because of Indonesian Presidential Decree No. 3 of 1997. It also questioned whether the applicant believed it had suffered any specific and actual loss or could potentially suffer any loss, and whether or not there was a causal relationship between that loss and the decree it was seeking to impugn. The court found in the applicant's favour in this regard, granting it the requisite legal standing. It then acceded to the application but did so on the grounds that several of the statutes that constituted the legal basis for Indonesian Presidential Decree No. 3 of 1997 were no longer valid laws themselves.

Kawu, others to Appear in Court over N2.5bn Fraud – ICPC
The Director General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Dr. Ishaq Moddibbo Kawu, will be docked on Wednesday, over his alleged complicity in the misapplication of the N2.5 billion seed grant for Digital Switch-Over (DSO) programme of the federal government.
Kawu, alongside the Chairman of Pinnacle Communications Limited, Mr. Lucky Omoluwa and the Chief Operating Officer of the same company, Mr. Dipo Onifade, will be arraigned on 17th April, 2019 before Justice F. O. Giwa of the Federal High Court, Abuja by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
The trio is facing a 12-count charge bordering on abuse of office, money laundering and misleading a public officer with the intent to defraud the federal government, in contravention of Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.
The Presidency had in 2016, released N10 billion to the Ministry of Information and Culture for the DSO programme and a White Paper was issued directing how the process should be executed.
Based on the guidelines provided by the White Paper, two companies were nominated to handle the process, one of which was ITS, an affiliate of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). N1.7 billion was released to it as seed grant for the commencement of the switch-over.
It was alleged that Kawu fraudulently recommended Pinnacle Communications Limited, a private company, to the Minister of Information and Culture, for the release of N2.5 billion against the guidelines contained in the White Paper.
As a result, the Commission filed charges against him and his accomplices and secured 12th March, 2019 for their arraignment.
The NBC boss however failed to appear in court citing ill-health as a reason thereby prompting Justice Giwa to order him to appear in court on the adjourned date even if it is on a stretcher.

Q: Evaluating a numerical integration with infinity as limit I am trying to evaluate a numerical integration (to get an expression of the constant Ω)
Suppose that
h[x_] := 1/(1 + a x^2)

and
P=Integrate[x/(h[x] Exp[x/(h[x]) Ω] - 1), {x, 0, ∞}]

where a and Ω are constants. My aim is to get an expression for Ω in terms of a and P after evaluating the integral, but the Mathematica is getting stuck.
Any suggestion to do the above or simplify the problem will be extremely appreciated.

A: If I understood correctly, you are trying to solve Ω in terms of a and the result of the integral P.
I'd do something like this.
f[a_?NumericQ, P_?NumericQ] := Module[{},
  h[x_]:= 1/(1 + a x^2);
  FindRoot[
    NIntegrate[x/(h[x] Exp[x/(h[x]) Ω] - 1),{x, 0, Infinity}] == P,
  {Ω, 2}]] // Quiet   (*Maybe you would like to change the initial guess*)

f[3,0.6]
(*{Ω -> 1.2752}*)

Find out what what we think of macOS Mojave
MacOS Mojave review
Mojave, the latest version of macOS, is available to download, but should you? We've had a good look at Mojave and here's what we think about the new features from Dark Mode and Desktop Stacks to the News app and some clever iPhone meets Mac continuity features.
by Karen Haslam, Editor | 18 Jan 19
Should I buy macOS Mojave?
Expert's rating:
Upgrading to Mojave is a no-brainer. It's free and there are enough new features to make the download worthwhile. There are also some under-the-cover enhancements that will provide a boost to your Mac too. Just beware if you are using very old versions of apps that they may not work in Mojave.

macOS Mojave full review
Mojave is the latest update to the Mac operating system. It arrived on 24 September 2018 as a free update, if you want to install it, here's how to download Mojave.
Apple's highlighting two features that essentially turn down the lights. One such feature is Dark Mode, which will mute the interface to better suit working at night, or conditions where a user might want to focus solely on an application rather than the menus and toolbars. The other feature is the Dynamic Desktop, which will cause your desktop image to change to match the time of day.
We can also look forward to a more tidy Desktop, the addition of Mark Up tools in Quick Look, a new Gallery View in the Finder, and more flexibility for screenshots.
We've been trying out the new features in Mojave, here's what we think. We also compare Mojave with High Sierra here, plus, here's how Mojave and Catalina, the new macOS coming in autumn 2019, compare. Plus We have a preview of Catalina here.
When Mojave arrived, probably the most excitement was be reserved for Dark Mode - the new look that mutes the colours of the menus and interface so that you can give all your attention to what you are working on by day, and so that you won't strain your eyes by night.
It's the first time Apple has offered a true Dark Mode on the Mac. There was an option to turn on Night Shift in earlier versions of the Mac operating system, which would tone down the blue light in the evening, as well as an option to make the menu and dock dark, although that latter feature only applied to Apple apps. Now, with Mojave, Mac users are able to darken every element of the interface via System Preferences > General > Dark.
When you click the Dark option your windows, menus and other elements of the interface will change their appearance. We particularly like how the Reader view in Safari looks, with a grey background and white text. Of course, normal web pages won't take on this look because their appearance would normally be dictated by the web design team, but in Reader mode everything is stripped down so that you can just see the text and associated images. If you aren't using Reader mode, be ready with the sunglasses.
With this change in mind, it's odd that Apple doesn't make the same changes in Pages. When Dark Mode is turned on the page itself is white while the menus and text are black.
In the Dark Mode versions of Calendar, Messages, Notes, backgrounds become dark, while the text is white. It's particularly beneficial in apps like Photos, where you can focus entirely on the photograph you are editing, rather than have that vie for attention with the rest of the interface.
No doubt it will be creatives who will get the most out of this new interface option, along with anyone who prefers to work at night. For the rest of us, it's probably just a novelty that we'll end up switching off at the point when we feel it's just a bit too dark for day-to-day use.
Desktop Stacks
Once the excitement about Dark Mode has died down, we feel that there's another new feature in Mojave that is much more revolutionary in terms of how you will use your Mac. Over the years Apple has come up with various ways to help us keep things in order on our Macs without actually needing a filing system.
In past versions of MacOS Apple has refined Spotlight so that we could quickly locate a document we needed, allowed us to Tag documents so that they could automatically appear together with other related items, added Quick Look so we could see a preview of the file before opening it, and made it easy to create Smart Folders so that certain types of file could be located.
One thing that Apple seems to have recognised is that for most of us 'filing' involves saving something to the Desktop. In Sierra the company added one of our favourite features of all time - the ability to sync the Desktop to iCloud and access it from any Mac or iOS device. So if you have a Mac at home and one at work you can share the same Desktop and access everything you need. Of course the side-effect of making the Desktop the go-to place is that for most of us, everything is stored on the Desktop.
While you may drag and drop all these files and images into a Stuff folder from time to time, things can get very out of hand and good luck finding anything in amongst that desktop clutter - especially if it's mostly screen shots.
Desktop Stacks is a new feature in Mojave that builds on Smart Folders to create folders on your Desktop automatically. These folders can be sorted according to file type, date modified, date last opened, tags, and more. With Desktop Stacks turned on you can sort all the files on your Desktop into neat folders.
To turn on Desktop Stacks you need to click on the Finder menu, View > Use Stacks. When you turn it on, your Desktop will tidy itself. Folders won't be filed away (although the few smart folders we had on our desktop were). Date last opened is a good option as it makes it easy to find the projects you are currently working on.
Just click on a Desktop Stack to see its contents, which will automatically appear on your desktop (we prefer this to the way that Stacks works currently - the Downloads folder is an example of a Stack, and in High Sierra and earlier you have to open in the Finder to actually do anything other than open something in that folder). In Mojave when you click on a Desktop Stack the contents will appear on your desktop so you can find what you are looking for without opening a Finder window.
While Desktop Stacks should spell the end of desktop clutter for Mac users, whether it will help us become more organised remains to be seen. We're hopeful though.
Mark Up and the Finder
This next new feature we love combines two featured that have been available in the Mac operating system for some time. Quick Look and Markup tools.
Quick Look is one of those nifty little features that as soon as you start using you really can't do without. Remember when you used to have to actually open a file or photo in order to see what it was. For many years now it's been as simple as pressing the space bar when you have a file selected and you see a preview.
As if that feature wasn't already life-changing, in Mojave it is be coupled with another feature that arrived a few years ago: Mark Up. When it launched Mark Up was a tool for editing PDFs and email attachments. In Mojave you are able to use Markup tools while viewing a Quick Look preview. So you can just Quick Look at a PDF and add a signature or fill in your address details, no need to open up Preview (or another PDF editor to do this). If it's an image you are looking at, you can use editing tools such as crop, rotate and even trim video.
These tools also come to the Finder in Mojave. For a while there has been a Cover Flow view in the Finder which took its inspiration from a feature in iTunes many years ago. So long ago, in fact, that the view is long gone from iTunes.
In Mojave this old iTunes-inspired view is replaced by Gallery View, which takes its inspiration from Photos. You'll see big previews of photos (and other documents). You will also be able to see the metadata associated with an image in a sidebar on the right, and, of course, you will have the Mark Up tools handy for any quick edits you want to do.
Screenshots and video
Those Mark Up edits are also available when you take a screenshot. Taking screenshots in Mojave is reminiscent of iOS - the screenshot shrinks to a thumbnail in the bottom right that you can click on to open and edit. This means that you can crop and rotate a screenshot without needing to open a separate program, so you can send it to someone, or add it to a document immediately.
To take a screenshot in Mojave you use the same keyboard combination as in previous versions of the OS - such as Command + Shift + 4 - but once the screenshot is taken, it appears in the bottom right, you can then click on it and gain access to tools to crop, as well as draw on the screenshot, or add shapes to draw attention to something. Once you are finished, just clicked on Done to see options to save or share.
Video gets the same treatment. Previously if you wanted to record video of what is happening on your screen it was necessary to fire up QuickTime and record screen that way. In Mojave this feature is embedded into the OS in a similar way to taking a screenshot is. And as with screenshots, that video will be easy to edit with those markup tools.
To take a video of something on your screen in Mojave, press Command + Shift + 5 and you'll be able to choose a section of the screen to record or just record the entire screen. Then click on Record Entire Screen or Record Selected Portion accordingly, and when you are done click on the stop button that appears in a tool bar in the top right.
Group video calling (video chat with up to 32 people) was missing from the first verison of Mojave, but it arrived in FaceTime just in time for Christmas 2018.
The feature means that you can make a FaceTime call with more than one person at a time, as long as they have Mojave or iOS 12 installed. Just like we used to be able to do with iChat many moons ago. Read all about how to make a FaceTime call with more than one person here.
iOS and MacOS
A new Continuity feature arrived in Mojave. Continuity is the name Apple gives to features that bring the iPad, iPhone and Mac together. Such as the ability to receive and send text messages, or make and take phone calls on your Mac, and Hand Off from one device to another so you can continue working on a Pages document on your iPad when you leave the office, or read a Safari web page on your Mac that you were looking at on your iPhone.
In Mojave you are able to open a document on your Mac, say a newsletter you are designing in Pages, or a presentation in Keynote, and use the iPhone as a capture device. In a similar way to how you might choose a scanner as a source, you can select the iPhone, take a photo or screenshot with it, and have that automatically appear in your document on your Mac.
All you need to do is right click on the area where you want to add the image and choose the option Take Photo. You will then see the option to Take a photo with "Name's iPhone" indicating that you should use your iPhone to take the photo. Your Camera app will automatically open, you take the photo and choose Use Photo. At which point the photo will appear in the document on your Mac. It's very easy, we just wish there were more opportunities when we might use this ability (we can't imagine that many now).
There are other features that are new in Mojave which will make your iPhone and Mac seem a little more unified. Mojave will bring the News, Home, and Voice Memo apps to your Mac.
News will import your existing settings from your iPhone so you can now view stories from Apple News on your Mac. We suppose this is part of Apple's assault on Google and an attempt to combat Fake News.
Funny enough, this alternative to reading news in Safari isn't particularly affected by Dark Mode, articles still have white backgrounds, which struck us as a strange omission. Maybe it's because it's an iOS app.
We are a little frustrated by the way articles will only open in News - it seems to be impossible to divert them to Safari if you want the web version. Another issue is the fact that you can only have one article open at a time in News, for that reason it's no good for research.
Of course the other way you can get your news is by browsing in Safari. Despite some big changes in 2017 when Safari 11 bought the end of auto-playing video and made it harder for cookies to track you. More anti-advertising features have arrived in Safari 12 - which is available for older versions of MacOS too. New features include prohibiting cookies and making your Mac look just like everyone else's so that 'Fingerprinting' is impossible. We look at Safari 12 in our Best web browser for Mac article.
The other app to make its way over from iOS to MacOS is Home. Of course, how use this app will be depends entirely on how many HomeKit ready appliances you have in your house. We don't have many as you can see, not because we don't have the appliances at home, but because they aren't HomeKit, which, sadly tends to be the case. Read about the best HomeKit devices here.
Apple has completely overhauled the Mac App Store. To help you find good apps, you can read in-depth articles about the best and most essential Mac apps - written by Apple's own team of editors. Plus various tabs highlight the apps that suit certain industries, for example: Create tab for design apps, Work tab for productivity apps, Play tab for games, and a Develop tab for all the developer tools and services.
You can also see auto-play videos that demonstrate what an app is capable of before you download it - a feature that was already available in the iOS App Store.
Another change to the Mac App Store is the way updates are delivered to your Mac. Previously you got subsequent updates to the OS by going to the Mac App Store and clicking on the Updates tab, or you could go to the Apple menu on your Mac and click on Software Updates. In Mojave you have the option of opening Software Updates via a new System Preferences pane. Updates can still be found in the Mac App Store too and via the Apple Menu > About this Mac > Software Updates.
Speaking of apps, there may a reason to put off updating to Mojave: Apple has said it will be the last MacOS to run 32-bit apps, which should mean that they will run, but you can expect there to be problems with them as High Sierra was the last macOS to run 32-bit apps "without compromise". We don't know just how bad this will be for 32-bit apps, but it is likely that users will want to start thinking about updating their older apps, and developers who are still stuck in the 32-bit age will want to get a move on updating them... You can read about 32-app and what to do if you still need to use them here. Incidentally, our copy of Photoshop CS5 no longer works despite it being 64bit.
Dark Mode has probably received the most attention, but Mojave has a lot more to offer than a second interface design. Stacks will help you keep your Desktop tidy, being able to edit images in Quick Look is useful, and the new enhanced screenshot - and video capture tools are excellent.
FaceTime.
We like that more iOS apps, such as News and Home have come to the Mac with Mojave — although News does annoy us somewhat when articles insist on opening there, especially because it isn't possible to open more than one at once.
The Mac App Store has had a redesign, but the biggest change you will probably notice is that macOS updates no longer arrive via the Mac App Store, instead you need to go to System Preferences > Software Updates. The other app related issue is that some older apps may start displaying warnings about incompatibility, or stop working altogether, such as Photoshop in CS 5 (find out how to get all your apps to work here).
In conclusion, we'd say that there is a lot in Mojave that makes it a very worthwhile update - and since its free there really is no reason not to, unless you rely on old versions of apps that may not work sufficiently well (or at all) in the 2018 macOS.

Puny Trump in Grand UN
US President Donald Trump hogs the airways at home with braggery, lies and vitriolic theatrics. in the global soup of near-200 country leaders meeting this week at the 2019 annual General Assembly session of the UN, his address fell dismally flat.
For all its flaws, the United States has commanded the greatest respect from world leaders whose countries are less fortunate than the great US. As Head of the Host Country, the US President has always addressed the world body of peers with s message of bettering the future for all. This year, President Trump aired personal grievances and in essence said "adios" to others.
"You're on your own. Stay out of my country, take care of your own problems," the leader of the world's richest country told the others at a time when gross climatic changes impact all with forced migrations and when diseases cross borders with no visa or passport and certainly no respect for walls of any sort. It is also a time when the information highway spreads a message far and wide to cause disappointment, resentment and anger in those outside the US.
Donald Trump represents the worst aspects of prosperity and wealth. Those are selfishness and greed. Neither has ever benefited anybody in any but the most shallow and ostentatious ways. That outward show may matter but it's not enough as demonstrated by other priorities.
Money doesn't satisfy Trump, who lied when he claimed in his presidential campaign that he was so rich he didn't need wealthy donors. Those donors showed up in abundance and no telling what happened to the money. What is obvious to all, however, is the fact that those donors landed prestigious government jobs with lavish perks that went with their positions, free to them courtesy of American taxpayers.
In 2019, America is not unique in being headed by a greedy, selfish egotist swindling a host of followers by tooting his own horn on a false note. This General Assembly reflects this state of affairs.
The leaders of China, Russia and Israel are missing, embroiled in national situations revolving around the use and misuse of power. Bors Johnson of the UK will leave early after unlawfully engineering a reckless "Brexit" break of Britain from the European Union. No telling what will happen with Trump and impeachment efforts to stop his gaming of the American Constitutional system. In the meantime, the little people of the world rely on each other for whatever generous support can be given.
In his speech to the 2019 UN General Assembly, Trump admonished the near-200 non-American countries to cherish their history and culture. He seemed unaware that the United States was made up of people whose culture was rooted in some foreign country. The land of plenty is a land of immigrants. Those are the people that Trump now warns to "stay away."
The illogic tells the story that other heads of states hear. Despite its gold standard of intelligence and expertise, the great United States has lost its moral compass. By extension and as measured by discord, many in the industrialized western world have followed the American lead. into disarray.
In a world where challenges are increasingly global in scope, the United Nations is the best reflection of where humanity stands as a whole. It has regional groups that address issues such as small island nations facing climatic ammojo;atopm and legal bodies that help clarify the rights and obligations of countries sharing joint resources, such as trans-border rivers. Water and land are major sources of conflict in regions not gifted with Trump golf courses and squabbles over fees.
In the serious UN environment, the simplistic rhetoric of a leader like Trump rings even more hollow than the toot of his horn over privileges. If that is the best that the grent America has to offer, the world's little people may think, then we had better keep grouping together to come up with solutions in line with the old saying that two heads are better than one.
The wealthy United States has been a mainstay of the United Nations influential in spreading security across the world. UN resources will be sorely depleted without a generous US contribution that helps develop new markets for US corporations. But the Trump doctrine of selfish greed benefits no one. Banded together, the world's little people will figure it out.
Maybe they'll find a way to tap US corporations or political donors, perhaps by showing them that a leader like Trump makes America a lonely place indeed. As the song says, one is the loneliest number..
