The CSS Paint API allows web developers to generate an image programmatically whenever a CSS property is expecting an image. This allows them to use paint(myPainter) to reference a paint worklet rather than loading an image file or using CSS built-in functions like linear-gradient(). This API will soon be enabled by default in Chrome Stable.

Nick Phipps believes selection loggerheads..
Nick Phipps believes selection loggerheads contributed to Michael Cheika and Wallabies' demise
Michael CheikaWALLABIES
Wallaby Nick Phipps believes the national team having multiple selectors was a contributing factor behind Michael Cheika and the Wallabies' demise following their horrendous exit from the Rugby World Cup at the hands of England over the weekend.
Australia were bundled out of the quarter finals after being defeated 40-16, prompting Michael Cheika to resign as coach once his contract expires at the end of 2019.
Cheika who won 34 of a possible 68 games as coach including two draws was part of a three man selection panel alongside Director of Rugby Scott Johnson and fellow selector Michael O'Connor.
Phipps who was coached by Cheika for several years at the New South Wales Waratahs and at national level told Macquarie Sports Radio Halftime the signs were there things had changed when Cheika first began his tenure as the boss.
"I think so, it (three selectors was always going to be trouble) and the board probably new that at the time," Phipps said.
"Cheik and Scott are both loud, big, powerful men so them going at it behind closed doors, the players never really knew that was going on.
"You could tell towards the end a lot of things were happening that weren't as congruent or Cheiks' ways as to earlier seasons, ultimately he said that made it feel very hard."
The last 12 months has seen the state of Australian Rugby slammed on the back of its poor results with 2018 yielding just four wins from 13 games, while the Israel Folau saga has torn the sport apart and Phipps says he feels the frustration from the fans.
"It's been a crazy 48 hours," Phipps said.
"There's so many emotions running through after being a fan and seeing our boys getting knocked out not playing their best footy against a good England team.
"Then straightaway the calls started coming for Cheiks' head and then he gets a bit of time to have a think about it and step aside which he probably was going to.
"Listening to a lot of the callers in the last hour, I can feel their frustration as an ex-player and as a fan.
"You want to see the game going well and you want to see the best things for the Wallabies, not just the Wallabies but everything from junior rugby straight up."
Phipps has 71 caps for the Wallabies since first debuting in 2011 and has been a key part of the national set-up in recent years.
The 30-year-old was left out of the Wallabies squad by Cheika for both the Rugby Championship and World Cup, while he will also commence his move to London Irish at the end of the week.

Youth educator defends London rioters: "It's their pain speaking"
The soul searching as to why people started fires, destroyed property, looted stores, and generally caused chaos in the UK has begun.
The soul searching as to why people started fires, destroyed property, looted stores, and generally caused chaos in the UK has begun. Over the four days of severe rioting, four people lost their lives.
Some British commentators are blaming social inequalities, while others have accused the rioting youth of simply being opportunists.
The government, for its part, appears to be siding with the latter camp: "There is no excuse for violence. There is no excuse for looters. There is no excuse for thuggery on our streets," the UK's Home Secretary Theresa May said in a speech.
Some of those who work closely with London's youth, however, don't agree – our Observer sympathises with the rioters' anger, saying many young people have few prospects and therefore little to lose.
Do you have a different point of view? Share it in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
Jay Kast listening to a young boy's song lyrics. Courtesy of Jay Kast.
"A few years ago, I would have been out there rioting with them. It's their pain speaking."
Jay Kast is a recording artist and a youth worker living in Newham, east London. He's been on the streets observing many of London's riots and has spoken to numerous rioters in his community.
I was brought up on the streets of east London. I'm on the side of the culture that I come from. I feel the same anger as these rioters do. A few years ago, I would have been out there rioting with them. It's their pain speaking.
Mark Duggan's death shocked everyone. A lot of people taking part in the riots have told me, 'I saw the boy's face on TV, and I identified so deeply with him – that could have been me. I have nothing going for me anyway, so I might as well go out on the streets.'
Duggan's family says he was on the straight and narrow. So people in the community think, 'even when we're trying to do better, the police could still stop us.' And that's true.
Until recently, I worked full-time educating youth with the help of government grants. We had programs to help them write lyrics, make their own music, organize musical events. But in the last year all the programs have been shut down; there's no more funding. With budget cuts, the youth sector is no longer a priority. That was a slap in the face to all the youth. So they just went back out onto the streets, went back to having no hope.
"Duggan's death was the last straw, but these riots are based on years of tension"
I believe that 50 percent of the youth are still focused on furthering themselves, still trying to find jobs. But the other half, well, it's not that they don't want to, but they don't understand how to. They feel disconnected from their communities, and the last thing they want to do is get a job inside these communities.
It is true that they're hurting their own communities by rioting, but in their mind their community doesn't do anything for them. Duggan's death was the last straw, but these riots are based on years of tension, ever since the 1985 Brixton riots (link). There's the frustration of not being where they want to be, frustration of seeing their family members going to jail, frustration toward the police in their communities. Gangs from different parts of London, who on a normal day would be fighting, have put their drama aside and joined forces. The enemy isn't the people running the restaurant or the sport shop; that's unfortunately just what they're using to annoy the authorities.
"They don't know how to explain themselves; that's why they're rioting in the first place"
When I see camera crews coming into the area, the rioters yell and shout. They don't know how to explain themselves; that's why they're rioting in the first place. I know what they want to say, but they're saying all the wrong things.
The anger is still here. It's not going to just disappear. But I don't think there's much the government can do now – they've let it go too far. It's like when you're hungry, once you've gotten past the hunger pains, no matter what food you're given you don't want to eat anymore."

Karl Ortelt (* 12. Juni 1907 in Mühlhausen/Thüringen; † 13. November 1972 in Jena) war ein deutscher Maler und Grafiker. Er zählt zu den Künstlern der "verschollenen Generation".

Leben und Werk
Karl Ortelt absolvierte nach dem Besuch der Volksschule von 1921 bis 1923 eine Lehre als Bauschlosser. Bis 1927 arbeitete er in seinem Beruf. Danach wurde er arbeitslos und übte verschiedenen Gelegenheits-Arbeiten aus. 1931 erhielt er eine Anstellung als Theatermaler bei einem Theaterverlag in Mühlhausen. 1932 bis 1934 nahm er in Mühlhausen Kunst- und Malunterricht an der Abendschule des Bildhauers Walter Krause.

Sein erster Kunstauftrag war ein dreiteiliges Wandbild für eine Schule in Mühlhausen, das 1933 auf Anordnung der Nationalsozialisten übertüncht wurde. Von 1934 bis 1940 studierte Ortelt an der Staatlichen Hochschulen für Baukunst, bildende Künste und Handwerk in Weimar. Bei Alfred Hierl wurde er dort Meisterschüler. Als er 1939 die Wanderausstellung "Entartete Kunst" in Weimar besuchte, war er tief beeindruckt von den verfemten Werken der Moderne. Ab 1940 war Ortelt Soldat und bis 1946 in US-amerikanischer Kriegsgefangenschaft. Von dort zog er nach Engelrod in Hessen, wo er als freischaffender Maler arbeitete.

1950 siedelte er in die DDR über und arbeitete in Erfurt als freier Maler. 1950 bis 1951 war Ortelt Dozent für Wandmalerei in der Abteilung Bildende Kunst der Hochschule für Architektur und Bauwesen Weimar. Nach deren Schließung arbeitete er bis zu seinem Ableben wieder freischaffend in Weimar. 1952 und 1953 hielt er sich zu Studienaufenthalten in Merxleben, wo die erste LPG der DDR gegründet worden war, und im Industrieort Unterwellenborn auf. In Weimar begründete er 1952 seine Lebensgemeinschaft mit Lilo Michaelis, die er seit 1934 kannte, und die er 1957 heiratete. Sie war seine Gefährtin, Muse und Modell.

Karl Ortelt hatte sich Anfang der 1950er Jahre thematisch dem Krieg und seinen Folgen gestellt: den zerstörten Städten, der Not der Flüchtlinge, dem Schicksal der Heimkehrer, der Einsamkeit alter Menschen. Aber auch die mögliche Schönheit des Lebens feierte er in Bildern menschlicher Wärme und Nähe. Ende der 1950er Jahre entstanden Stadtansichten. Sein Hauptwerk schuf er in Weimar. Im Laufe der Jahre zog sich Ortelt vom offiziellen Kunstgeschehen zurück. Er folgte mit dieser Entscheidung seiner instinktiven Skepsis gegenüber verabsolutierten Wahrheiten. Seine Frau sorgte für beider Lebensunterhalt und war ihm, wie er 1958 in seinem Tagebuch festhielt, bald "der einzige Mensch".

Ortelt starb nach einer schweren Operation. Er hinterließ etwa 11.200 Zeichnungen und 1100 malerische Arbeiten.

Rezeption

Testing Malaria Vaccines in the Clinic Is as Rigorous as in the Field
New way to test vaccines that may guide future vaccine development
University of Maryland School of Medicine
Published:Jul 20, 2022
Malaria is the deadliest mosquito-borne parasitic infection of humans. In 2021, after a century of research, the World Health Organization (WHO) approved the world's first malaria vaccine. That vaccine reduces the incidence of malaria infections in young children aged five–17 months by only 30 percent, meaning that it remains critical to continue developing and testing more effective vaccines.
WHO's goal is to find a vaccine that prevents infection as well as cases of severe malaria. However, testing vaccines in the field is challenging and requires large number of volunteers and long periods of follow-up. This process increases the expense and reduces the number of trials that researchers can perform.
Now, scientists at the University of Maryland School of Medicine's (UMSOM) Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) and the UMSOM Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (CVD), and their collaborators report a new way to test vaccines that may be as rigorous and stringent as exposure to field strains of malaria. Their study was published in the June issue of Nature Communications.
Their method has two key aspects. First, they expose vaccinated volunteers to malaria in a controlled clinical environment. Secondly, for this testing, they use a strain of malaria that is genetically very different from the one used in the vaccine, as well as from strains in the geographic region to which the vaccine is intended.
This technique allows scientists to test how well the vaccine works in small numbers of volunteers under controlled settings and in a rapid fashion and predicts how well the vaccine may perform in the field. This lets researchers select the best vaccines for larger studies in the field. This method will increase the efficiency of vaccine testing and should accelerate malaria vaccine development.
"The standard for many investigators has been to test vaccines with a strain similar to the one used in the vaccine's development," explained the study's lead author, Joana Carneiro da Silva, PhD, professor of microbiology and immunology at UMSOM and IGS. "Using a strain that is both genetically distant from the one in the vaccine—as well as from the strains circulating in the area where malaria is rampant and the vaccine will be used– is a more stringent way to test vaccine effectiveness."
Researchers are studying the effectiveness of a vaccine (PfSPZ Vaccine) made by the company Sanaria, Inc, based in Rockville, Maryland. This vaccine uses the West African parasite strain known as PfNF54. One objective is to use this vaccine to protect individuals with little or no previous exposure to malaria, including those living or traveling in Africa. The long-term goal is to use the vaccine in mass vaccination programs to eliminate malaria from specific regions in Africa.
For the study, researchers infected mosquitoes with a Brazilian malarial strain and then exposed US volunteers who had been vaccinated with the Sanaria vaccine (as well as those who received a placebo) to the bites of infected mosquitos in a controlled clinical setting. They also vaccinated research participants in Mali with the same dose of the vaccine to compare observed vaccine efficacy in the field with that in the clinic. Through genomic sequencing, researchers had shown that the Brazilian strain differed greatly from 700 strains previously collected from across Africa, including the one used to make the vaccine.
The researchers looked at about 200 volunteers in four trials—two in the United States and two in Mali. In all four, they observed how many people became infected with malaria, as well as how long it took for them to become infected, comparing clinic to field. At the end of six months, they found the vaccine was just as effective in both populations.
In addition, previous comparisons had shown that those volunteers who had never been exposed to malaria developed more antibodies than those in the field, proving that it would work well in first-time travelers to the area.
The research team included scientists from Sanaria Inc.; the Naval Medical Research Center; University of Tübingen in Germany; the Malaria Research and Training Center in Bamako, Mali; and the Laboratory of Malaria Immunology and Vaccinology at NIAID, NIH.
The World Health Organization estimates that in 2020, 241 million cases and 627,000 deaths worldwide were due to malaria, including 2,000 cases diagnosed in the United States from travelers and immigrants who were exposed elsewhere. The variety of malarial strains globally makes vaccine development particularly difficult.
"Given the diversity of malaria strains worldwide, this research demonstrates that the Brazilian strain is as diverse as any strain detected in Africa," said Kirsten E. Lyke, MD, professor of medicine and director of the Malaria Vaccine and Challenge Unit at the CVD and an author of the paper.
Da Silva noted this new model can be used in the future in selecting challenge strains to test the efficacy of vaccines against other parasitic diseases, using carefully controlled clinical settings to compare against field studies.
E. Albert Reece, MD, PhD, MBA, executive vice president for Medical Affairs, UM, Baltimore, the John Z. and Akiko K. Bowers Distinguished Professor, and Dean at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, said, "The world has waited decades for effective malaria vaccines. Dr. Silva and her colleagues have found a way to greatly expedite our ability to examine potential vaccine formulations in clinic to identify the most promising candidates. This study also shows how important genomics are to help establish the efficacy of new vaccine formulations and to guide vaccine development."

A: The problem you encounter is that cglib creates a subclass of your class but does not copy the annotations. At the same time, annotations are not inherited if that is not explicitly defined.
Cglib does not support annotations. To overcome this, you can choose to use another code generation library that supports annotations. I wrote such a library, it is called Byte Buddy.

KALIA Rath in Odisha
A game changer
Prafulla Das

Instead of going for a farm loan waiver, the Odisha Cabinet on December 21 approved the Krushak Assistance for Livelihood and Income Augmentation (KALIA) scheme under which Rs.10,180 crore will be spent over a period of three years to accelerate agricultural prosperity and reduce poverty in the State. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik launched the KALIA scheme on New Year's eve, announcing that it would cover 92 per cent of the cultivators, loanee and non-loanee farmers, sharecroppers and landless agricultural labourers of the State. The scheme will be reviewed in 2020-21 for further modifications.
Countering the claims of the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party that promise loan waivers if voted to power in Odisha, Patnaik said that of the 20 lakh farmers who had availed themselves of loans from among 32 lakh cultivators in the State, about 60 per cent had regularly repaid loans. "What wrong have the 60 per cent done by repaying the loans?" he asked. Further, he pointed out that the entire gamut of sharecroppers and landless labourers would not be covered under a loan waiver scheme.
The KALIA scheme has five components: support to small and marginal farmers for cultivation; livelihood support for landless agricultural households; financial assistance to vulnerable agricultural households and landless agricultural labourers for sustenance; insurance support for farmers and agricultural labourers; and interest-free crop loans. Under the scheme, 30 lakh small and marginal farmers will get Rs.5,000 each in the kharif and rabi seasons in the crop seasons (five) between 2018-19 and 2020-21. The kharif assistance will be paid on "Akshaya Tritiya" day (April/May) and the rabi assistance on the agrarian festival "Nuakhai" (August/September) every year.
A sum of Rs.12,500 each will be provided to 10 lakh landless agricultural households to support activities such as small goat-rearing units, mini-layer units, duckery units, fishery kits for fishermen, mushroom cultivation and beekeeping. This will particularly benefit the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribe populations. Five lakh households will be covered in the first year. Besides, 10 lakh vulnerable cultivators and landless agricultural labourers will get Rs. 10,000 per family per annum as financial assistance under the scheme. No individual will receive more than one of the benefits.
The scheme provides a life insurance cover of Rs.2 lakh along with personal accident cover of an equal amount to 57 lakh farmers and agricultural labourers. Those farmers already covered under similar schemes will be excluded. Also, interest-free crop loans up to Rs.50,000 will be provided to farmers from 2019-20.
On January 25, Patnaik rolled out the transfer of funds to beneficiary farmers under KALIA at a rally held in Puri. The next day, in his address at the State-level Republic Day celebrations, Governor Ganeshi Lal said: "The newly launched KALIA has proved to be a unique model for agriculture development in the country."
Instant hit
The KALIA scheme proved to be an instant hit with farmers not just because it was attractive for them but also because Lord Jagannath is called Kalia by devotees. "You raise crops and provide food to the State. Your production is offered [to the Lord] as mahaprasad. You're doing a great job, a pious job. So, I named this scheme KALIA," Patnaik told farmers at the Puri rally. The scheme will show a new path to the entire nation, he said.
Patnaik's words proved prescient when the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi was announced in the Union interim Budget on the lines of the KALIA scheme. It would have benefited farmers more if the quantum of assistance was equal to or more than the KALIA scheme, which is Rs.10,000 a year, said Patnaik in his reaction to the Budget.
In the first phase, 13.03 lakh small and marginal farmers, including 57,614 sharecroppers, have already been paid Rs.5,000 each for the current rabi season. The remaining farmers will be paid the financial assistance in the second phase in February.
Patnaik has flagged off 150 KALIA raths that will go to all panchayats of the State to create awareness about the scheme. While the government paid 13 lakh farmers and sharecroppers on the basis of Census 2011 data, over 67 lakh farmers, sharecroppers and landless agricultural labourers have sought inclusion in the scheme by filling green forms.
Steps are being taken to exclude ineligible applicants. Implementation committees have been formed at the State, district and block levels to monitor and oversee the smooth implementation of the scheme. To ensure error-free transfer of the grant, Collectors of all the districts have been asked to hold district-level bankers' committee meeting.
Patnaik has added a new component to the scheme, the KALIA scholarship, under which the State government will bear the educational expenses of the children of KALIA beneficiaries who are studying in government professional colleges on merit basis. Children of KALIA beneficiaries will be aided in their pursuit of higher studies in disciplines such as medicine, engineering, management and law, he said.
The State government has made a provision of Rs.4,461 crore for KALIA in the Budget proposals for 2019-20 unveiled on February 7. If implemented properly, the scheme could be a game changer in the simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.

È il capo del movimento Lord's Resistance Army o LRA ("Esercito di Resistenza del Signore"), un gruppo di guerriglieri ugandesi. La LRA inizialmente ricevette un forte supporto dell'opinione pubblica, successivamente però si ritorse brutalmente contro i suoi stessi sostenitori, presumibilmente per "purificare" il popolo degli Acholi e trasformare l'Uganda in una teocrazia fondata sulla personale interpretazione che Kony dà dei Dieci comandamenti. La LRA è un gruppo di attivisti con un'ideologia religiosa sincretica pseudo-cristiana, noto per le atrocità che commette contro i civili, tra cui omicidi, mutilazioni, stupri e in alcuni casi anche cannibalismo.

Guidata da Kony, la LRA si è guadagnata la sua reputazione per le sue azioni contro i popoli di diverse nazioni, tra le quali l'Uganda del nord, la Repubblica Democratica del Congo, la Repubblica Centrafricana, il Sudan del Sud, e il Sudan. Ha rapito e costretto circa 66.000 bambini a combattere per essa, e ha forzato una migrazione interna di oltre due milioni di persone
da quando iniziò la sua rivolta nel 1986. Nel 2005 Kony fu incriminato per crimini di guerra dalla Corte Penale Internazionale, dell'Aia, Paesi Bassi, ma riuscì a evitare la cattura.

Biografia
Kony nacque molto probabilmente nel 1961 a Odek, un villaggio a est di Gulu, nel nord dell'Uganda. Non portò a termine le scuole superiori, e si mise in evidenza dall'età di 25 anni, quando, nel gennaio 1987, entrò a far parte di uno dei vari gruppi millenaristi che nascevano nell'Acholiland in seguito alla popolarità dell'Holy Spirit Movement della profetessa Alice Auma, sua cugina. Nel 1986 era scoppiato un conflitto nel nord dell'Uganda, originato dal risentimento, della popolazione di etnia Acholi, per l'ascesa al governo di Yoweri Museveni in seguito alla sconfitta del loro rappresentante, l'ex presidente Tito Okello.

Kony, come la cugina Alice Auma, dichiara di essere un medium. Il primo spirito da cui disse di essere guidato era quello di Juma Oris, che era stato ministro nel governo di Idi Amin Dada e aveva successivamente guidato il movimento di ribellione West Nile Bank Front (WNBF), nel nord-est dell'Uganda. Il numero di mogli di Kony, che sicuramente è poligamo, non è precisato: alcune fonti arrivano a contarne oltre 60.

Il LRA nacque raccogliendo i singoli ribelli sbandati dopo la sconfitta dell'Holy Spirit Movement. Si dice che Kony compia rituali magici per proteggere i propri soldati, sostenendo che le pallottole si trasformerebbero in acqua prima di ferirli. Uno dei ribelli fuggiti dai campi di Kony ha affermato:
"È una strana religione, quella cui Kony si professa fedele: la Domenica prega il Dio dei Cristiani, recitando il rosario e citando la Bibbia, ma osserva anche il Venerdì, con la preghiera di Al-Jummah, come i Musulmani. Festeggia il Natale, ma rispetta anche il digiuno di 30 giorni durante il Ramadan e proibisce che si consumi carne di maiale."

Accuse
Il governo ugandese ha dichiarato già tre volte, a partire dal 1986, che il LRA è stato sconfitto, ma alla fine del 2003 i ribelli hanno effettuato incursioni anche oltre la loro tradizionale area di azione, fino alla regione di Teso. Il movimento si è guadagnato una reputazione generalmente molto negativa.

Dal 6 ottobre 2005, la Corte penale internazionale ha emesso mandati di cattura per cinque membri dell'LRA, accusati di crimini contro l'umanità. Il giorno successivo, il ministro ugandese della giustizia, Amama Mbabazi, ha rivelato che tra i membri incriminati c'erano Kony e il suo vice Vincent Otti (ucciso nell'ottobre 2008 dallo stesso Kony, per divergenze sui negoziati di pace). La settimana successiva, il 13 ottobre, il Procuratore Generale della Corte, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, ha rivelato dettagli sull'incriminazione di Kony. I capi di accusa sono 33, dodici dei quali per crimini contro l'umanità, che comprendono omicidio, riduzione in schiavitù, schiavismo sessuale, stupro. Altri ventuno, rubricati tra i crimini di guerra, comprendono omicidio, maltrattamenti e attacchi intenzionali di civili, saccheggio, induzione allo stupro, rapimento e sfruttamento di bambini.

Il 31 luglio del 2006 Kony ebbe un incontro al confine con le foreste congolesi con numerosi capi culturali, politici e religiosi del nord dell'Uganda per discutere sulla guerra. Il giorno successivo ha attraversato il confine con il Sudan per parlare con Riek Machar, il vicepresidente sudanese. Il 12 novembre 2006 Jan Egeland, sottosegretario delle Organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite per gli affari umanitari ha avuto un colloquio con il capo del LRA. Al termine dell'incontro Kony ha dichiarato all'agenzia Reuters: "Non abbiamo nessun bambino. Abbiamo solo combattenti". Tra il 2006 ed il 2008 si sono svolti a Juba, sotto la guida dell'allora vice-presidente del governo del Sud Sudan, Riek Machar, colloqui tra la LRA ed il governo ugandese. I documenti elaborati durante il processo negoziale non sono mai stati firmati da Joseph Kony, ma gli incontri di Juba hanno segnato la fine delle operazioni militari della LRA nell'Uganda del Nord. Nel novembre 2022, il pubblico ministero della Corte penale internazionale vuole perseguire Joseph Kony.

Kony 2012

L'attenzione su Kony è aumentata da inizio marzo 2012 con la pubblicazione su YouTube e Vimeo di un filmato di 30 minuti dal titolo Kony 2012, realizzato dal regista Jason Russell appartenente al gruppo di Invisible Children. L'intenzione dichiarata dalla produzione è di rendere famoso Kony per aumentare il coinvolgimento degli Stati Uniti nella questione ugandese. Il filmato ha avuto un indiscusso successo grazie ad una strategia di viral marketing realizzando circa 100 milioni di visualizzazioni nel mondo in poco più di un mese. Ma non è stato esente da critiche.

Q: this page is trying to load script from unauthenticated source wordpress gama website I am running on wordpress for the reference you can see https://www.coolmathgamestop.com/avie-pocket-birthday/ . I am using arcade plugin pro and fungames themes by same developer. I am very new to wordpress and in learning mode. The problem on my page is when myself or visitor try to play flash games they won't load and give empty box meanwhile on address bar a shield come with notice " this page is trying to load script from unauthenticated source" then there is option to allow loading script. coz of this error my visitor leave my page and never return . this error comes on half of my games. I have try and successfully install HTTPS:// but still this error comes. I have talk to developer of plugin and he said that issue is not on my end. see image with errors
Due to this error I lost a lot of visitors , even 0 traffic due to not loading a game.
I need help to get rid off this error .

A: The issue is caused by assets (in your case, an SWF file) on the page being loaded insecurely over HTTP, even though the page itself is secured using HTTPS - This is known as a mixed-content issue.
Taking a look at the URL you provided, I can see that the problem seems to be the following:
swfobject.embedSWF( 'http://files.cdn.spilcloud.com/df9aa4793b5/APB-30-11/index.html', 'myarcade_swfobject_content', '807', '633', '9.0.0', '', [], {"wmode":"direct","allowscriptaccess":"always","swLiveConnect":"true","quality":"high"}, []);

Note that the path at the start of this is using http:// instead of https://.
Try changing this to https if it is in the page content, otherwise if it is part of a plugin then contact the plugin developers/maintainers to see if they will provide a solution.
As I can see from the image you supplied, you're using Google Chrome, a useful tool is the "Network" tab of the Developer tools included with the browser. If you're not familiar with Chrome's DevTools, you can find out more here - https://developer.chrome.com/devtools

As summer officially comes to a close, so too does one of the busiest seasons for wisdom tooth extraction procedures, which often occur during the summer months when many students are home for school break. Because of this, it's also during these months that countless prescriptions for opioids, also called prescription painkillers, will be written to provide pain relief for these young patients after surgery.
In fact, a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that these medicines are most commonly prescribed following surgical tooth extractions for patients between the ages of 14 and 24. Unfortunately, what can start out as well-intended pain relief can end in patients experiencing unwanted and potentially debilitating side effects, and in the worst cases, expose them to the risks of opioid misuse, abuse or addiction.
According to a government report, the highest rates of opioid abuse are seen among adults 18- to 25-years-old. The risks of opioid exposure are real concerns for oral surgeons. But so is pain. As clinicians, we have to balance the need to provide patients adequate pain relief with the risks and side effects of the medications we prescribe. Until recently, our options were limited when over-the- counter products did not provide sufficient relief. But that is no longer the case. Fortunately, there have been recent advances in the availability of very effective non-opioid alternatives.
New research presented at the 2016 American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) in Las Vegas shows that a long-acting local analgesic called EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) can lower pain scores and reduce opioid requirements in oral surgery patients undergoing wisdom tooth extraction.
I'm encouraged to see this data, as I have been using EXPAREL with my patients at the Carolinas Center for Oral & Facial Surgery in Charlotte, NC for nearly two years now. When injected into the mouth during the time of oral surgery, patients can experience prolonged non-opioid pain relief during the first few days of recovery, when pain is often at its worst.
In conjunction with EXPAREL, my patients are advised to take an NSAID, usually ibuprofen, to reduce inflammation and provide additional analgesia. While opioids are available to my patients, they are reserved only for pain that cannot otherwise be controlled. In fact, I have found that their use has become the exception and not the rule—very few of my patients ever need to rely heavily on opioids for pain control.
Since using this combination of EXPAREL and ibuprofen, the number of patients who come in for follow-up visits due to pain or opioid-related side effects like nausea or vomiting has decreased significantly. In the 34 years I've been practicing, I have never seen my patients' pain more effectively managed and with so few side effects.
I'm glad to see the use of non-opioid options gaining traction across surgical procedures, especially in oral surgery where patients and their caregivers—often their parents in the case of those undergoing wisdom tooth removal—are anxious about pain after the procedure and what can be done to ensure that recovery is as comfortable as possible. These are important preoperative surgeon-patient conversations to have.
Prior to surgery, I explain to patients and their caregivers that there's a new approach that will manage their pain for the first few days after the procedure and minimize or eliminate the need for any opioid medications. Patients, and especially their parents, are happy to hear that opioids may not be necessary.
With winter just around the corner, oral surgeons will see another spike in wisdom tooth extraction patients who will be home for the holidays. The ability to reduce these patients' exposure to opioids—and thus their side effects and longer-term safety risks—not only ensures their ability to enjoy the holiday season with family and friends, but also that their recovery is as safe and comfortable as possible.

Chang'e-5: China Successfully Launched its 1st spacecraft to Collect Samples from Moon; Also World's 1st since 1976
On November 24, 2020, China National Space Administration (CNSA) has successfully launched the 8.2 tonne lunar probe namely "Chang'e-5" through Long March-5, China's largest carrier rocket. The launch took place from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern province of Hainan, China. Its task is to bring 2kgs of sample soil and rock of moon to earth in a mission of around 23 days.
Notably it is the world's first moon-sample mission in 44 years i.e. since 1976. Only two other countries, the United States (US) and the former Soviet Union, have brought samples back from the moon.
The mission will promote China's science and technology development and help in planning for China's future manned lunar missions and deep space exploration. It will also help scientists to understand more about the moon's origins and formation.
The mission aims to promote China's science and technology development and lay an important foundation for China's future manned lunar landing and deep space exploration. The aim of the programme is for China to acquire the basic technologies of unmanned lunar exploration with limited investment.
The landing site of Chang'e-5 will be near Mons Rumker, a volcanic mound in the Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms) located in the northwest region of the moon. It is on the near side of the moon. While the orbiter-returner orbits about 200 km above the lunar surface.
This site is chosen because the region has a younger geological age than the sampling areas of the US's Apollo Missions and the Luna Missions of Soviet Union.
–The mission is named,'Chang'e-5′ after the ancient Chinese goddess of the moon.
–The spacecraft "Chang'e-5" consists of four parts: an orbiter, a returner, an ascender and a lander. It's the lander who will drill and scoop samples from the surface and store them in a protective capsule.
Chang'e-5 to realize 5 firsts in China's history:
Through this mission the China will realize have the following firsts in its history:
1st collection of samples from a celestial body
1st time the probe takes off from the surface of celestial body
1st Unmanned rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit
1st return to earth with samples in escape velocity
1st research and analysis of moon samples
i.On October 27, 2020, For the first time, National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has confirmed water on the sunlit surface of the Moon. SOFIA has detected water molecules (H2O) in Clavius Crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth, located in the Moon's southern hemisphere.
ii.The NASA has chosen 'India Sat', an indigenous experimental satellite developed by 3 students from Tamil Nadu namely, M. Adnaan of Thanthonrimalai, M. Kesavan of Nagampalli and V. Arun of Thennilai for launch in suborbital space in June, next on NASA's sounding rocket 7.

Q: Can I prevent argparse from exiting if the user specifies '-h'? I'm writing a program that loads a bunch of data and then allows to user to query it for different reports. Since I don't want to load the data again and again, I've written an interactive portion for it.
I want the commands in this interactive portion to be parsed via argparse, but argparse always exits if someone specifies -h or --help. I don't want it to do that - I just want to print the help message and continue looping. Can I tell argparse not to exit if -h is provided?

A: You could define your own help argument.  There's a parameter in the ArgumentParser definition that turns off the automatic help.
If your own help is a 'store_true', then after parsing you could check that, and do a parse.print_help() command.  (or format_help if you just want the string).  Or it could be a custom class.
One thing you have to decide is whether, with the help you want it to ignore all the other arguments (as the default help does), or whether this custom help is just one of many.
But catching the SystemExit is a valid approach.
The default help is handled by:
class _HelpAction(Action):

    def __init__(self,
                 option_strings,
                 dest=SUPPRESS,
                 default=SUPPRESS,
                 help=None):
        super(_HelpAction, self).__init__(
            option_strings=option_strings,
            dest=dest,
            default=default,
            nargs=0,
            help=help)

    def __call__(self, parser, namespace, values, option_string=None):
        parser.print_help()
        parser.exit()

This is distinctive in that it takes no args (like a 'store_true'), does print_help and does a exit.
parser.exit can also be modified; it is briefly described in the docs.  It's the one that does the sys.exit() call.  It's also called after parsing errors.  If you are doing your own parsing loop you might want to change that.

A: I think I figured it out. In my python3 interpreter I can do something like this.
import argparse
p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
try:
    args = p.parse_args(['-h'])
except SystemExit:
    print('hi')

And then I see 'hi' printed.

Growing The Gratitude Tree.
Posted on September 6, 2021 by Steve
The Gratitude Tree.
Not too long ago, I gave my oldest granddaughter a "Gratitude Tree."
It resembled a punch-out, paper doll tree and came with many little, paper green leaves, each no bigger than a thumb-print, on which notes of gratitude could be written, to remind us of what we can be thankful for each day.
I promised my granddaughter that she would earn a dollar for each "gratitude" leaf she completed. She asked if she could enlist the help of her younger sister, age 10, and if they could split the proceeds. I loved the idea of their collaboration and said, "Of course!"
I simply wanted them to stop and take a moment — a deep breath, really — to think about all they have to appreciate, even during the most daunting of times.
The Gratitude Tree sat quietly in its dark, slender box for a few months, while the two girls finished school and dealt with a some significant changes going on in their lives. I knew that asking a 12 and 10-year old to pause for a few minutes, and step off of the quickly spinning merry-go-round of everyday life was asking a lot, so I didn't put any deadline on the activity. It was a process I wanted to last a lifetime.
"When you get to it, you get to it," I said. Gratitude shouldn't be forced, even though I believe it should be positively reinforced.
Finally, in the middle of the summer of 2021, they set up "The Tree" on my oldest granddaughter's dresser. A few of the delicate, laser-cut paper branches broke off, but that didn't deter them.
"A few of the branches broke, Grampy," my oldest granddaughter told me when I noticed The Gratitude Tree atop her dresser. "But we did the leaves, anyway."
I was delighted by their determination to carry out the task, and devote, even a nano-second of their precious, fleeting time to think about these things. The results were both revealing and remarkable.
They wrote on each leaf some of the obvious sources of things they were thankful for: "Sisters, (including their almost 6-year old youngest)" "Dad", "Mom," "Cats," "Friends", "Family," "Our Planet," "Food", and their "Guinea Pigs," but other entries blew me away.
"Joe Biden," said one; "AOC," another, harking back to their pre-COVID summer visit to AOC's Washington, DC. Congressional Office. These girls are very aware of the world around them, and they LOVE having female she-roes.
"Pride," one wrote; "Loyalty," "Kindness," "Honesty" and "Love." "Maia," wrote another, referring to an Oakland-raised pop star named MXMtoon, and "Liv" — a reference to the star of "High School Musical," Olivia Rodrigo. One proudly wrote "Entrapta," the non-binary cartoon character who also happens to be Autistic.
"Everyone is Equal" one leaf read; "Doctors," "The Moon & the Stars," "Water," "Trees," "Birds," and "Hamilton," read several others. Lin Manual-Miranda would be grateful to make it in such sublime company.
Rather than curse the darkness of a year of distance learning, my granddaughters gravitated to the light, expressing gratitude for, "Zoom," "Prodigy," "Tech," and "I-Message." Extraordinary. No time for negativity.
"Books," and "School," also made their Tree of Gratitude, as did, "Teachers," "Dad's Friends," and "Bees" — even though they panic when yellow-jackets buzz too close for comfort. They get the bigger picture.
I rewarded them for their beautiful green leaves of Gratitude, but my reward, of being privy to their thoughts, and dreams and the inner workings of their hearts, and being part of their lives was much, much greater. For that, I'm grateful for being alive to watch them grow.

Slovenia: State of Denial
The landslide winner of snap elections in Slovenia is the "Party of Miro Cerar" that six weeks before the elections did not even exist. Its members and candidates are rather unknown, its policies are unclear. It is named and lead by a law professor and legal consultant with zero track record in executive politics. Strongest opposition party SDS with its leader jailed after an unfair trial just three weeks before the elections came in second. Half of the parliament belongs to two brand new political parties. The results are a culmination of economic, financial, social and political crisis in Slovenia and, one can always hope, a step towards its resolution. From poster child … Slovenia was a poster child of the former communist countries. It achieved independence almost without violence that tragically marked the breakup of Yugoslavia. Even before 1989 it had open borders, elements of market economy and substantial exports to the West. Its independence was a success story. It joined th


Cardiac Biomarkers Market To Generate Revenue of $13.3 Billion By 2024: Grand View Research, Inc.
According to report published by Grand View Research, The high prevalence rates of cardiovascular diseases worldwide and the rise in popularity in POC cardiac testing kits are expected to fuel the market growth. The cardiac biomarkers market is anticipated to witness a lucrative growth during the forecast period from 2016 to 2024.
According to a report, " Cardiac Biomarkers Market By Type (Troponin, Creatine kinase – MB (CK-MB), Natriuretic peptides – B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) & N-terminal pro b-type Natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), Myoglobin, Ischemia Modified Albumin (IMA), Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (H-FABP), LDH isoenzymes), By Application (Acute Coronary Syndrome, Myocardial infarction, Congestive heart failure, Cardiomyopathy, Ischemia, Myocarditis, Atrial fibrillation), By End Use, By Region And Segment Forecasts To 2024 ", published by Grand View Research, Inc., The cardiac biomarkers market is expected to reach USD13.3 billion by 2024.
Analysis of global market trends focuses on the increasing demand for cardiac biomarkers owing to its increased adoption in cardiovascular disease diagnosis. Furthermore, this growth is attributed to a majority of factors, such as the high prevalence of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), continual technological advancements in the development of cardiovascular biomarkers, increasing number of new product launches by the key market players, rising demand for point of care cardiac testing kits, along with the high specificity and sensitivity of these biomarkers in the detection of cardiovascular diseases, especially acute myocardial infarction.
The cardiac biomarkers market has been classified by type into troponin, Creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB), B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), and N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), myoglobin, and others. Troponin is a heteromeric protein and comprises cardiac troponin T & I, which are abbreviated as cTnT & cTnI, respectively.
The troponin biomarkers segment is expected to grow lucratively in the forecast period at a significant CAGR. The diagnostic efficiency and specificity related to cardiac biomarker testing renders it a universally gold standard test to diagnose cardiovascular disorders worldwide. The market by application is segmented into acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and others. ACS is expected to be the highest grossing segment according to the study. ACS is responsible for huge medical costs globally and is responsible for most hospital readmission cases. The increasing efforts to cut down worldwide ACS prevalence rates are expected to drive the growth of the biomarkers market.

The Tibetan Reception Center in Dharamshala was built as a transit home for Tibetans who used to cross over from China but their number has dwindled sharply.
The sprawling Tibetan Reception Center for refugees built ten years ago by Tibetan exile authorities in the northern Indian town of Dharamshala wears a desolate look. Its big dormitories with bunk beds were meant to house 500, but in recent years they lie mostly unused.
This facility was meant to be a transit stop for the over 2500 Tibetans who every year clandestinely crossed over high mountains from China into Nepal and then onto Dharamshala, the home of Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, since fleeing Tibet in 1959.
But the number of Tibetans coming to India has plummeted sharply over the last decade. In June, this center documented the arrival of only two young men in their early twenties who say they managed to cross over from Tibet.
There are fewer children in Tibetan schools in Dharamshala as the numbers coming from Tibet fall.
Despite gentle persuasions by Tibetan officials at the center, they are still too scared to face the camera or share their names with this VOA reporter, but only say that they were Buddhist monks who have come to complete their monastic education, which they found difficult to do in Tibet. Fear and apprehension never leaves their faces during the 15 minutes they sit with us. "They are all fearful when they come," says Karma Dolma, the deputy director of the Center.
Tibetan exiles attribute the plunging number of arrivals from Tibet to tighter surveillance, stricter border controls along mountain passes by the Chinese and more cooperation between Beijing and Nepal, whose relations have become friendlier in recent years.
Many young Tibetans in Dharamshala, the home of Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama are migrating overseas in search of better career opportunities.
The plunging numbers present a big challenge for second and third generation exiles in India campaigning for more political freedom for Tibetans, according to Tenzin Tselha, head of the Students for A Free Tibet in India. For Tibetans like her "a strong sense of imagination" about Tibet sustains their movements, but the "real perspective" brought by those who came from Tibet was always important.
While the internet helps somewhat, the campaigners say it cannot compensate for first-hand accounts brought by newly-arrived Tibetan exiles about restrictions on movements, on Buddhist worship or a climate of fear inside the region had long given momentum to the Tibetan movement.
The dormitories of the Tibetan Reception Center, meant to accommodate nearly 500, are mostly empty these days.
The plunging refugee numbers means emptier infrastructure built by the exile community over six decades — there are fewer new entrants at Tibetan schools in Dharamshala, at Buddhist monasteries that dot the hillsides and at centers where they learn traditional arts such as Tibetan painting.
Young people in Dharamshala learn traditional Tibetan painting at the Norbulingka Institute in Dharamshala (8207) but fewer are coming these days.
Even as the influx from Tibet stems, many young Tibetans in India are migrating for better opportunities. Among the many in Dharamshala who count friends who have left in recent times is Tselha from Students of a Free Tibet.
Young Tibetans attending a workshop at a career counseling Center in Dharamshala say finding jobs in India is not easy. 23-year-old Lugya Dhondup crossed over in 2008 because he says his family thought he would get better opportunities to study in India. But he says "many of us don't get appropriate job after school and since we don't have anyone here to look after us, it is tough." He would like to migrate if he can get a job overseas.
But while the numbers of young Tibetans in Dharamshala may be declining, the commitment to the cause of more freedom for Tibet remains unwavering in the home town of the Dalai Lama.

AMC SceneDrama
Comedians in Upcoming Dramas
Comedians trying their hand at drama is not a new trend. Some of Hollywood's greatest have gone from films that made us laugh until we cried to those that just made us sob. Take Jim Carrey in ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND or Robin Williams in GOOD WILL HUNTING. This month, more acclaimed comedians will join the ranks with their upcoming dramas. Learn more and get your tickets at AMC.
In the 1970s and 80s, Lee Israel was a bestselling author, who made her living writing biographies for celebrities like Katharine Hepburn, Tallulah Bankhead, Estée Lauder and journalist Dorothy Kilgallen. But by 1990, Lee was nearly broke, behind on rent and unable to get published — thus began her one-woman forgery business, "embellishing" hundreds of letters in the voices of literary greats.
CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? is based on Lee's true story and memoir of the same name, starring Melissa McCarthy. The actress first gained recognition for her role in the TV series "Gilmore Girls" and later went on to star in the sitcom "Mike & Molly." But it was her performance as the brash Megan in the smash comedy BRIDESMAIDS that launched her to A-lister status.
McCarthy, a former stand-up comedian, has played funny women for the majority of her career, and while CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? has laughable moments, this film shows her more serious side.
"I have become so attached to Lee that I just want people to see her for everything she was: for her talent, her intelligence, her caustic, remarkable wit and to also see her difficult circumstances, her flaws, her broken heart, her anger," McCarthy said. "I want people to love her as much as I do."
See McCarthy as Lee when you get your tickets to CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? at AMC today.
When you think of John C. Reilly, you may think of the Golden Globe-nominated WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX STORY, the NASCAR comedy TALLADEGA NIGHTS or the forever funny STEP BROTHERS. But Reilly started his film career in the 1989 drama CASUALTIES OF WAR and continued to play serious roles throughout the 90s and early 2000s before he became a comedic icon.
In his latest film, Reilly stars as one half of an infamous duo of assassins. THE SISTERS BROTHERS, co-starring Joaquin Phoenix, is a western dramady set in 1850s Oregon. The Sisters brothers are hired to find and kill a gold prospector and chemist, who stole from their boss. But the scientist's secret might be worth more than they know, and a simple pursuit across the wild West turns into something a lot more dangerous.
Jake Gyllenhaal also joins the cast of THE SISTERS BROTHERS, based on Patrick Dewitt's praised novel of the same name. Get your tickets at AMC today.

Q: How to specify the step in sum? The traditional sum's step is 1, but what if I want to specify the step to be some integer else?

A: This appears to be a notational question rather than a TeX one (thus not really on topic for this site) but the \sum nottaion is used to sum over a set or over an implied list indexed by a range of integers so if you want to sum for example every second item in a list x_i then you just double i when referencing
\sum_{i=1}^n x_{2i}

About New Atlanticist
The Disunited Kingdom
By John M. Roberts
Welcome to the Disunited Kingdom. The country formally known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has just voted to leave the European Union, whilst revealing in the process just how divided it has become, just how alienated its voters are from their elected leaders.
The problems confronting the victors are enormous.
First, there is the question of the transfer of government from David Cameron to a new prime minister who can undertake the incredibly complex actions required to disentangle forty-three years of accumulated legislation that binds the UK into the EU. Announcing his impending resignation on June 24, Cameron said that his party, the Conservatives, should elect a new party leader, and thus a new prime minister, by the time the party conference meets in October. Now the focus will switch to his succession, with Boris Johnson, the former mayor of London, as the leading candidate from the Brexit camp; with Home Secretary (Interior Minister) Teresa May as a possible compromise candidate who could bridge the party's rival Brexit and Remain camps; and with Brexit campaigner Michael Gove, the current Justice Secretary, as an outside possibility.
Second, there are the mechanics of Brexit. Cameron promised that if the UK voted to leave the EU, then he would immediately invoke Article 50 of the EU's Lisbon Treaty, which represents formal notification of any decision to leave. Once invoked, Article 50 provides for negotiations on Britain's exit from the EU to be completed within two years. Given the amount of legislation that would be required to replace EU regulations and trade agreements with Britain-only rules, this may prove far too short a time. In terms of negotiating replacement trade agreements these are likely to take years to accomplish. Ironically, though not surprisingly, it was supporters of the Leave campaign who most wanted Cameron to delay invoking Article 50. Now they will have their way, with Cameron announcing in his resignation speech that it will be for his successor to invoke Article 50.
Third, there is the breakup of the UK. Overall, UK voted by 52 percent to 48 percent to leave the European Union. But Scotland voted by 62 percent to 38 percent to remain. This prompted Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, of the Scottish National Party (SNP) to declare that it is clear that "the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union." Angus Robertson, the leader of the SNP's fifty-three Westminster Members of Parliament, said it would be undemocratic for Scotland to be forced to leave the EU against its will.
The contrast between the vote in Scotland and the overall UK vote, which overwhelmingly means the vote in England which constitutes 85 percent of the electorate, means that almost certainly Sturgeon will quite soon set in motion preliminary preparations for holding a second referendum on Scottish independence, so that Scotland could remain within the EU, but as an independent nation.
Tensions in Northern Ireland can be expected to increase. Northern Ireland voted 56 to 44 percent to stay within the EU, not least because of strong Irish nationalist support. Now the UK government, in negotiating the separation of the country as a whole from the EU, will have to find out how to do so without creating a physical barrier between British-ruled Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. One key issue is that the presence of both the UK and the Republic of Ireland in the EU was one of the key underpinnings of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, which ended thirty years of conflict between predominant Catholic nationalists who wanted to join the Irish Republic and mainly Protestant Unionists who wanted to remain part of the UK.
Declan Kearney, the chairperson of Sinn Fein, the Irish nationalist party, hailed Northern Ireland's vote on June 23 as "as a cross-community vote in favor of remaining in the EU" adding that Sinn Fein would now press for a poll in Northern Ireland on union with the Irish Republic. The problem is that whereas the overall British vote to leave the EU has been immediately accepted as binding by the losing side, there is absolutely no guarantee that the losing side in any referendum in Northern Ireland on Irish unity would abide by the result rather than resorting to arms to fight it.
Fourth, and more important than all the others, is the division between voters and the establishment, between "them"—the elite— and "us"—the millions of voters prepared to defy their party leaders and the advice of countless international leaders and institutions from US President Barack Obama to NATO, the International Monetary Fund and all of the UK's overseas allies to stay within the EU.
In voting for Leave, these voters were taking an opportunity to register their disdain for politics as usual. There is now a massive distrust of mainstream politicians accompanied by support for populists. The massive confusion as to what will happen next are epitomized by the extraordinarily shrill calls during the campaign for facts, but a near-total lack of faith that anyone who put forward a fact was actually telling the truth.
There may well turn out to be no winners as a result of this vote. The pound sterling, the national currency, collapsed as soon as the first indications of a Leave vote came in, falling by more than 10 percent against the US dollar and hitting levels not seen since the great market crash of 2008-2009. The Bank of England will now have its work cut out trying to reassure investors that the UK is still a good place in which to invest. But the likelihood is that there will be little fresh foreign investment for quite some time, and quite a considerable flight of capital. Leave campaigners say there will be no recession. Time will tell.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will be seen as a failure because, until the final few hours of the campaign, he seemed to show only half-hearted support for the Remain cause. Corbyn now faces a vote of confidence from his own MPs on June 27, so he too could lose his job as a result of the referendum.
One of the biggest reasons for the Leave victory was the failure of Labour voters in blue-collar areas to support the official party line that Britain should remain in the EU. Already there are fresh rumblings within the party's senior echelons that Corbyn may simply not be up to the job of leader. As things stand, in the next general election, which may now come much sooner than its previously expected date in 2020, there is a good chance that traditional Labour voters will turn to the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), the only party that wholeheartedly supported Leave and which currently has just one of the UK's 650 elected Members of Parliament. That's largely a tribute to the constant focus of the Leave campaign on the issue of immigration, which, as the referendum result demonstrated, trumped the Remain campaign's focus on the economy.
But the biggest loser is Cameron; and British politics can be ruthless with losers. When Cameron promised a referendum in 2012, it was to settle a dispute within his own Conservative Party. He gambled, and lost; he campaigned, and lost. He has little or no credibility and may, as this writer fears, go down in history as the man whose decisions not only led to Brexit but to the breakup of the UK itself.
Cameron's chief lieutenant and the man who once hoped to succeed him, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, is fond of citing an aphorism routinely attributed to Lyndon Baines Johnson, that counting is the first rule of politics.
David Cameron miscounted and has now paid the price.
