Let it Rock Interview with Andy SummersDecember 16, 2021
Composer, author, photographer and, first and foremost, guitarist, Andy Summers could be called a Renaissance man if most of his interest didn't seem to revolve around art and if what he does wasn't so contemporary, and "Harmonics Of The Night" – the master's latest album – is a testament to that. This also means seeing […]

Andy Summers of the Police
Andy Summers has enthralled music fans with his unique talent since entering the music scene in the late 1960s. Since picking up a guitar at the age of thirteen, Andy has made his mark as an essential component of The Police, as a solo artist, and as a writer, photographer, composer, and producer.
With The Police Andy is a driving source of energy and color behind Sting's dynamic vocals, his guitar playing a distinctive and original signature of The Police sound.
During his Police years, Andy's guitar was heard and imitated worldwide making an indelible impression on guitar and guitarists everywhere. Apart from the band's multi-million selling records Andy received two Grammys for Best Rock Instrumental Performance and was also voted the number one guitarist for five years by Guitar Player Magazine, and then entered the Guitar Player Hall of Fame.

When I first moved to Seattle, one thing I had to grow accustomed to was the homeless population. And since I had to work a block away from a homeless clinic, I had to adjust quickly. Initially, this group made me uncomfortable. My parents raised me in the suburbs, and we hardly ever saw someone holding a cardboard sign on the streets. And since Seattle Pacific University sits in one of the nicer parts of the city, students and staff don't have to witness many homeless people around campus.
However, instead of ignoring this growing population, we should be looking for a way to help them, even if just in a small way. According to the Committees to End Homelessness, "8,830 individuals were counted on the January 27, 2012 One Night Count homeless street count and survey data" within the city of Seattle. Over a quarter of these people are surviving on the streets without any form of shelter. These numbers are steadily rising, partially due to the terrible economy.
People lose their homes for a bunch of reasons, many which are outside of the individual's control.
Despite this large group, many of us don't know hot to react when we pass a homeless person on the street asking for help. Do I stop and talk to him? Drop a few coins and keep walking? Nothing at all?
One easy but meaningful way to help those on the street is by keeping Blessing Bags around. They cost little to make, and mean a lot to those you give them to. You can fill up gallon bags to keep in your car's trunk, or smaller quart-sized bags in your walking bag.
Nonperishable food like trail mix, granola bars, beef jerky, crackers, ect.
If nothing else, I've found that making eye contact and offering a smile can be just a good as giving material goods sometimes.

CLEVELAND (AP) — In a rambling video, Steve Stephens said, "I snapped, I just snapped." But as the manhunt dragged on Monday for the man accused of posting Facebook footage of himself killing a retiree, police were unable to explain what set him off.
"Only Steve knows that," Cleveland police Chief Calvin Williams said as authorities posted a $50,000 reward for Stephens' capture in the shooting of Robert Godwin Sr., a 74-year-old former foundry worker.
In the video, Stephens blamed a former girlfriend he had lived with, saying he woke up last week and "couldn't take it anymore." But in a statement Monday, the woman shed little light on what might have gone wrong and said Stephens was good to her and her children.
As for the shooting victim, Godwin appeared to have been selected at random, gunned down while picking up aluminum cans Sunday afternoon after spending Easter with some of his children.
A manhunt that started in Cleveland's gritty east side expanded rapidly into a nationwide search for Stephens, a 37-year-old job counselor who worked with teens and young adults, police said.
Law enforcement officials said his cellphone signal was last detected on Sunday afternoon in Erie, Pennsylvania, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Cleveland.
Some of those who know Stephens described him as pleasant and kind, while some said he had a gambling problem. He filed for bankruptcy two years ago.
In another video posted to Facebook, Stephens said that he gambled away everything and that he and his girlfriend had planned to marry but didn't, without saying why.
"He got along with everybody, so it's just unbelievable what happened," said Alexis Lee, a friend who saw Stephens last week.
Godwin's daughter said he was killed while collecting cans in a plastic shopping bag.
She said her father, who had 10 children, was a gentle man with nothing mean about him.
Dozens of family, friends and community members gathered Monday evening in Cleveland for a vigil to remember Godwin. They hugged and comforted each other, while urging an end to the violence on their city streets.
In the shooting video, Stephens told Godwin a woman's name and said, "She's the reason that this is about to happen to you." The victim did not seem to recognize the woman's name. The gunman then pointed a weapon at Godwin, who shielded his face with the plastic bag.
The woman Stephens spoke of, Joy Lane, said in a text to CBS that "we had been in a relationship for several years. I am sorry that all of this has happened." She said Stephens was "a nice guy" who was generous to everyone.
The video of the killing was on Facebook for about three hours before it was taken down.
Investigators said that Godwin was the only victim so far linked to Stephens, despite his claim in a separate video on Facebook that he killed more than a dozen people.
Detectives spoke with Stephens on Sunday by cellphone and tried to persuade him to surrender, police said.
Stephens worked at Beech Brook, a social services agency in suburban Cleveland that deals with vulnerable young people. He helped them gain job skills and find employment, said Beech Brook spokeswoman Nancy Kortemeyer.
Stephens filed for bankruptcy in January 2015. His attorney at the time, Trent Binger, said Monday that he remembered Stephens discussing gambling problems.
Associated Press reporters Dake Kang and Delano Massey in Cleveland and John Seewer in Toledo contributed to this report.

Strawberries are a favorite fruit of many families in South Carolina. Every year, many home gardeners grow strawberries in their gardens or in containers. While several pests attack strawberry plants, the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) is the pest that causes the greatest damage and is the most difficult to control. Two-spotted spider mites (TSSM) feed and live on the underside of leaves, making control of this pest very difficult. They reproduce quickly in warm temperatures. Because of these characteristics, good control of TSSM can be very difficult for home gardeners.
Commercial miticides that are effective in TSSM control are not available for homeowner use. Products that are available to homeowners may not be very effective.
Two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae).
An adult TSSM has a pale green body with two dark spots on its back, hence the name "two-spotted". TSSM are very small in size (about 1/60 of an inch) making them difficult to see with the naked eye. The female TSSM is larger than the male.
Spider mites prefer hot and dry conditions. They are most active between 48 °F and 111 °F; however, they prefer temperatures between 55 °F and 98 °F. TSSM feeding and reproduction depends on body temperature, and the body temperature of the mite depends on air temperature.
Females can lay up to 100 eggs in an average lifetime of 68 days. Depending on day and night time temperatures, TSSM eggs will hatch between 3-19 days. At temperatures below 48 °F, a spider mite egg will hatch in about 19 days. At temperatures above 70 °F, spider mite eggs will hatch in 3-7 days.
TSSM goes through four stages of development from egg to adult. Spider mite eggs are round and clear. They are laid on the undersides of leaves. The first set of eggs is generally laid on the lowest leaves on the plant. When a spider mite egg hatches, it produces a young spider mite that starts to feed immediately.
Phytoseiulus persimilis, a predatory mite.
Biological control of TSSM offers homeowners the best option and safest way to control this pest. Biological control is safe for the homeowner, pets and the environment. Most of the miticides used in commercial strawberry production are not available for use by homeowners.
Predatory Mites: Two species of predatory mites that are effective in controlling TSSM on strawberries are Phytoseiulus persimilis and Neoseiulus californicus.
Releasing these predatory mite species will give the homeowner season-long control of TSSM. Other crops in the garden will also benefit from the release of the predatory mites. Releasing predatory mites will also encourage and promote the population build-up of other beneficial insects in the home garden that feed on TSSM.
Timing the release of predatory mites is very important for successful control of TSSM. Before ordering the predatory mites, the homeowner must inspect the strawberry plants for TSSM or their eggs. There must be TSSM for the predatory mites to eat once they are released. If they don't have a food source, the predatory mites will either die or migrate to other plants.
Neoseiulus californicus, a predatory mite.
Check the undersides of strawberry leaflets for TSSM. Count the number of adults, crawlers (newly hatched immatures) and eggs present. If you find two or more adults with eggs per leaflet, order the predatory mites. The predatory mites will typically arrive one week after placing an order. Predatory mites should be released within 4 hours after receiving them. Predatory mites can be kept up to 24 hours in a refrigerator, but must be released within this time.
If the population of the TSSM is very high, homeowners can apply a 1% horticultural oil spray (Bonide All Seasons Spray Oil Concentrate, Ferti-lome Horticultural Oil Spray Concentrate, Monterey Horticultural Oil Concentrate, or Southern Ag Parafine Horticultural Oil) or an insecticidal soap spray (Bonide Insecticidal Soap Concentrate, Natural Guard Insecticidal Soap Concentrate, Garden Safe Insecticidal Soap Concentrate, Safer Brand Insect Killing Soap Concentrate, or Espoma Earth-tone Insecticidal Soap Concentrate) to help reduce the TSSM population until the predatory mites arrive. Follow label directions for use.
Other Beneficial Insects: Several other beneficial insects are predators on TSSM. Examples of these predators are shown below.


Oh, so it's really nothing. The way the other poster worded it sounded much more concrete.
Eh so it's just a polite way of saying no, don't know why I expected more lol.
Great for Youkai Watch... Guess it's going to reach 1000pts before release.
Super SMash Bros. on 3DS is performing well so far, release is still far away.
All that smokeydave propaganda got you too. Happens to the best of us.
You mean my original message?
so how far did WiiU drop this week?
I thought my jimcarreychance.gif (pictured above) gave it away.
I'm sorry. Thanks for the correction. I'm going to edit my posts with that information.
Dragon Quest X probably will, if not on Vita, definitely on PS3 and PS4.
By the way, is crossplay supported between the Wii U and PC version?
for some games (or maybe just a game). I know Pure Chess supports that, not sure if anything else does.
Not yet. So far they released 1, 4, 8. and 10 (via that cloud thing). 2 will be released tomorrow 6/26.
Pretty sure it is. Which is why I'm not that convinced about a PS version. Nintendo doesn't seem to mind crossplatform online (if a bunch of indies can do it, I'm sure Squeenix could if they asked... since they're already doing it with the PC version anyway), but not SOny.... then again, I'm sure Sony wouldn't mind bending their rules for a bit if that meant a DQ game on their system.
Edit: actually, DQX is crossplatform between Wii U / Wii / PC.
I'm still waiting for Final Fantasy XI on the Vita, that was actually announced by Square-Enix in the past.
Sony is against console to console crossplatform? I thought they were open to it?
And Nintendo being open to PC doesn't mean they are open to PS4, if we go by what you just posted, that's exactly how Sony operates (see FFXIV).
A lot of things were announced for Vita in the past.
I may bit mis-remebering stuff, but I don't think we have a sinle cross-platform (PS3 / 360 for example) game, have we? I don't mean just leaderboards and stuff.
Not that many "big" games, excluding things like Bioshock Vita.
Yeah, that's the executive way to say no without saying no.
Thanks. Do we know if they are planning to release DQ9 no smartphones too?
Wouldn't it be better to release a game that is new? I mean, FFXI servers are still up (which surprised me, I thought they weren't) but that game is quite old. In the meanwhile you have DQX and FFXIV (you can play the later via RP, right?) which are not so old, should have more consistent updates (haven't checked though) and a bigger potential to expand their userbase in the short / mid-term.
FFXI will be bought by the few dedicated players that are still there and some nostalgics.
I don't think so, but they usually have different policies for MMOs.
If they can't get XI running on the Vita even after announcing it for the public, I have no hope for XIV and DQX.
Monster Hunter 3rd Portable HD was all but confirmed, it got canceled for whatever reason.
Listed as a rumor, isn't it?
I don't remember FFXI getting officially announced.
I think it was a possibility (heh) mentioned in some interview.
It was announced at the same conference that X/X-2 was announced at TGS.
They didn't say anything about it.
I don't think that was ever officially announced. I recall vague, "Wouldn't it be nice if this was on Vita?" comments from SE employees, but if I had a dollar for every time an SE employee showed interest in doing something on Vita I'd have at least enough to buy lunch.
That leak was real, every thing else came true. Byo2 was cancelled until Nintendo saved it.
I wonder what will changed if vita have mh as a launch title.
I really don't remember FFXI getting an official confirmation. I vaguely remember comments of possibility like Spiegel said.
I don't think Final Fantasy XI was ever mentioned during SCEJ's 2011 TGS presentation. The no show from that is Zone of the Enders Collection on Vita.
It's amazing how just 1 title could have changed everything.
Hurts every month to see such low numbers.
As someone (in Japan) with zero interest in the PS4, I'm surprised it's so high.
I have little hope left for Japan.
Damn....At least next week has Freedom Wars.
Beat my expectations, I thought it'd be sub-10k for everything bar the 3DS. Go Japan.
And Sony wasn't capable of making a hardware bundle for the game. They aren't even trying.
4DS will save Japan (at least for 3 years).
I think they'll probably call it the iPhone 6, so it matches the current naming convention. 4DS sounds more like a Nintendo device.
It'll take everything Japan has to offer: Pokémon, Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter and Yokai Watch, and even so it'll only stay afloat for a couple of years.
I don't think anyone at Square even humored the thought of porting ARR to Vita. It would have held the game back even more so than PS3 currently is. IIRC they retooled the HUD for Remote Play usage.
Next to nothing? MHP3rd is a game that sold 5 million copies in Japan. Some launch buyers may have made it their game of choice but I doubt it would have convinced a bunch of people to buy the platform.


University of Kentucky students from left, Cody Griggs, Shady El-Maraghi, Hadil Abdalla, Mohamed Bakr and Mahmoud Abdalla celebrated Friday's news outside the William T. Young Library.
Shady El-Maraghi and two friends took to the streets in Lexington Friday, waving the flag of their native Egypt and announcing its freedom from President Hosni Mubarak with the cry, "Egypt is free!"
"I'm jubilant," said El- Maraghi, a 20-year-old University of Kentucky student who left Egypt with his family 10 years ago.
Other Egyptian natives living in Lexington shared El-Maraghi's joy that Mubarak's 30-year reign had ended.
"I have tears in my eyes and happiness in my heart," said Lexington physician Mostafa Amr. "It will be a great moment for Egypt and everything will improve. Everything. ... I feel the hope is coming back."

> Lizards of PNG > Eugongylus cf. rufescens
Eugongylus cf. rufescens
These images illustrate a species of the genus Eugongylus, probably Eugongylus rufescens. English names include Brown Sheen Skink or Bar-lipped Sheen Skink.
The skink was found crossing a gravel track at dusk in the Gobe area of Southern Highlands Province, at an elevation of less than 1000 metres. The species is reportedly nocturnal.
This large skink measured 26cm in total length, comprising 11 cm snout-to-vent, and a tail of 15 cm. Its flexible body and long, thick tail moved in a sinuous, snake-like motion when trying to flee from disturbance.
Its body is medium to dark brown with faint, thin, regular transverse banding. The scales are smooth, and iridescent under bright light. The upper and lower lips are adorned with a series of vertical dark bands.
The species is known to feed upon large insects, such as crickets, and other invertebrates, and is also recorded as taking other smaller lizards including other skinks.
Eugongylus rufescens occurs in Queensland, Australia and may be widespread in Papua New Guinea, occurring in various forest types.


Do you remember the perfume your mother wore when she kissed you on her way out to a formal occasion? Smell is said to be the sense most linked to memory, because the organs you use to detect scents are closely linked to the brain's limbic system, which is extremely important to memory and emotion. A person encounters most new scents during childhood, so those may be the ones that evoke the strongest emotions, but even today a trip to the Garden, especially at night, will delight and create new memories.
Why is night so important as a different way to experience plants? Part of the reason is that we are less bombarded with colors and shapes. In our subtropical climate we can relax and take in the subtler aspects of the Garden around us. But the plants themselves have a different agenda. Some flowers, particularly white ones, have taken a different evolutionary pathway. They don't try to compete with the red and yellow flowers that flaunt themselves to daytime pollinators, such as bees and hummingbirds. Instead, they are after the night pollinators – moths, including the giant sphinx moth, some as big as hummingbirds, and even bats.
Many of these white flowers don't even bother to send out a fragrance during the day. But at night it's a different story. Some plants to look forward to during night-time events in the Garden include Brunfelsia pilosa in the Kapnick Brazilian Garden and Brunfelsia americana in the Kapnick Caribbean Garden. All these plants are coyly referred to by the common name lady of the night. As you stroll through the South Grove on your way between the Scott Florida Garden and the Lea Asian Garden, you will almost certainly be oeverwhelmed by the huge white pendant flowers and perfume of angel's trumpet, Brugmansia X candida.
Fortunately, some of these beautiful white (or yellow) flowers do allow us to enjoy their fragrance during the day. Many gardenias as in bloom for long periods of time in the Lea Asian Garden, as is the Chinese perfume plant, Aglaia odorata, planted on the west side of the Candi Sukuh ruin. Another plant in this garden, on the banks of the Barron Pond surrounding the Dewi Sri shrine, is known as perfume flower trees, Fagraea berteroana, and is traditionally used for making leis.
Many Florida native plants have wonderful fragrances. Fiddlewood, Citharexylon fruticosum, is an all-around fantastic plant, with shiny green leaves, sweetly fragrant white flowers and beautiful green, red and black berries. Another great choice, marlberry, Ardisia escallonioides is smaller and less aromatic, but still beguiling.
Some orchids can be placed right by your front door where you can enjoy them after dinner. Brassavola nodosa is an orchid with a delightful citrus fragrance, and its even better hybrid, Brassavola 'Little Stars' will draw you out at night.
And to go back to those memories… your mother may have been wearing Joy by Jean Patou, once touted as the most expensive perfume in the world. An essential ingredient is Magnolia (once known as Michelia) champaca. A hybrid is located just before you exit the Garden and is fragrant most of the day. Or she may have favored Chanel No. 5. Visit the Smith Labyrinth in the Scott Florida Garden to enjoy the spider-like yellow flowers of Cananga odorata that are said to be the top note in that famous perfume.
You may be transported back in time.

In March 2005, Holness signed for Southern League Division One East club Fisher Athletic, before signing for Banstead Athletic in 2006, who played in the Isthmian League First Division.

Western Australia's Pink Lake threatened by tourist boom
Since 2014, there's been an big increase in the number of tourists visiting Hutt Lagoon, otherwise known as Pink Lake, near Geraldton. Busloads arrive every day to pose for photos or chartered flights let people take in the breathtaking views. But locals are worried about the impact.

WENDY MANN, GERALDTON AIR CHARTER CHIEF PILOT: We're overhead the Hutt Lagoon, or the Pink Lake, as it's more commonly known now.
We are just seeing these beautiful pink colours.
TOM JOYNER, REPORTER: From the air, it's hard to miss - an enormous expanse of bubble-gum pink, stretching 14 kilometres along the coast.
Do you ever get sick of the views?
WENDY MANN: No, I don't because it's always changing. It has different moods, slightly different colours.
I think it's lovely flying over here because the people are really quite excited about it.
TOM JOYNER: Beneath the surface of Hutt Lagoon in WA's mid-west is a type of algae that produces beta carotene, giving the water its bright hue, and making it the perfect location for a selfie.
Do you remember where you first saw it?
TOURIST: Instagram. It's all the picture is on Instagram. I like the pink colour. It's every girl's dream colour.
TOM JOYNER: Wendy Mann has been flying tourists around the region for decades, but in the last few years, her charter business has exploded in popularity.
WENDY MANN: Ten years ago, it was non-existent.
Back in 2014 I think we flew 14 Chinese passengers and each year it's increased until today I think we have done 5,126 to the Pink Lake this year.
It's become a very, very popular flight particularly with Chinese tourists.
TOURIST: I'm in heaven, okay. I see down there, it is a dream, very beautiful. Wonderful.
TOURIST: What we usually see is in blue, it's special here.
TOM JOYNER: What sort of questions do they ask you when they're on the flight?
GERI LIU, GERALDTON AIR CHARTER PILOT: Is that real, the Pink lake? Is that your photo shop? I said no. We didn't do anything about the photo. It's real.
So it is pretty impressive about the pink, the pink colour.
In our culture, pink is like romantic and more like for the girl. So, if a couple, they will feel like in love and so Asian people love it, just love it.
WENDY MANN: Social media is really very, very important to tourism. The Chinese use WeChat a lot and they can't wait until they get back on the ground to post their photos of the Pink Lake on WeChat.
TOM JOYNER: Thanks in part to Hutt Lagoon, international visitor numbers to nearby Geraldton increased nearly 25 per cent in 2018 but as a tourist attraction, the lake has become a victim of its own success.
GAVIN TREASURE, CEO, MID WEST DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION: At the moment, probably Pink Lake arguably suffers from over-tourism. It's one of the few areas in the state where we, it's caught us a little bit off-guard.
TOM JOYNER: Local ecologist Dr Indre Asmussen is concerned about the environmental impact of so many new visitors.
DR INDRE ASMUSSEN, ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT: We have found a lot of rubbish being disposed, people trampling vegetation. There have been illegal camping, camp fires and then there has been a lot of faeces in the vegetation as well so people didn't have access to toilets.
TOM JOYNER: The lagoon is home to a delicate ecosystem and is an important habitat for shore birds that migrate from Siberia each year.
INDRE ASMUSSEN: So we, I guess, as international citizens would all be responsible for looking after it.
TOM JOYNER: The state government agency responsible is working on a plan to manage visitor numbers.
GAVIN TREASURE: We're trying to establish one clear masterplan for the lake which picks up all the needs of all the major stakeholders that have an interest in the lake.
So that masterplan effort is getting now close to a point where we'll start to identify key sites for development.
TOM JOYNER: Meanwhile, Wendy Mann and her team are working hard to attract even more interest from overseas tourists.
She now employs several Mandarin speaking staff.
WENDY MANN: I think it will only continue to increase. So we've got a huge amount of bookings for the Chinese New Year period.
TOM JOYNER: Have you picked up any Mandarin yourself, Wendy?
WENDY MANN: No, I can say ni hao, which is good morning, and that's about it unfortunately.
My poor old brain is not quite up to learning anymore, I don't think.


Brazilian culture has been influenced greatly by the Portuguese, Indians, Africans, Europeans and settlers from the Middle East and Asia. One of their main contributions can be seen in the beautiful and rich arts & craft markets spread throughout the country.
Historically, handicrafts have received little recognition as an art form in Brazil. However, in the last few decades it has been gaining popularity for celebrating local culture and restoring traditions. Naturally creative, the Brazilian people value the importance of cultivating a family tradition and art form that has been handed down from generation to generation.
The role of artisans is gaining more significance in the Brazilian economy. the industry is giving many low-in-come women an opportunity to become entrepreneurs and improve their family economic conditions. It is interesting to notice that arts and crafts can be found throughout the country and they differ from region to region.
In northeastern Brazil, many woodcarving and sculpting techniques were inherited from the African slaves. The Portuguese Jesuits also passed on skills in the carving and painting of religious figures in wood. Originally they encouraged their indigenous converts in the techniques, but today others practice the art. Woodcarving is widespread in Pernambuco and Bahia in the northeast. The technique is also found in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
In northeastern Brazil, religious figures are also made in clay. They will be found in Tracunhaém, near Recife. Another place where ceramics are even more famous is Alto da Moura, near Caruaru. Both cities are in Pernambuco state. The ceramic pots are also made in the Amazon region and they come in various styles.
Ceará, in the north, is famous for its lace-making, and beautiful pieces are sold all over Brazil. In other parts of the north, hammocks and other woven items can be found. The hammock is, of course, a typical household item. In southern areas where European immigration was heaviest, many traditional costumes can be seen. Leatherwork, although not confined to the south, can be found in any region where cattle are raised.
The most popular instruments are those connected with African music, especially the hand and friction drums like the zabumba, cuica and reco reco, and the berimbau (used for capoeira). Here again, the best place to look is in the northeast where the African heritage is strongest.
Another northeastern craft is pictures made in bottles with coloured sands. Lençóis, Bahia, and Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, are good places to buy them.
In Amazônia, a huge variety of raw materials are available for making baskets, nets, hammocks, slings for carrying babies, masks and body adornments. In the northeast, too, baskets come in all shapes and sizes, especially in Bahia, Pernambuco and Paraíba.

Polish minister defends lecturer who taught that homosexuality was "incompatible with nature"

The lecturer was fired for his lecture.
The Polish Higher Education and Science Minister, Jarosław Gowin, has criticised a Polish university after it fired one of its lecturers who gave a class teaching that homosexuality was "incompatible with nature."
In the lecture, titled Homosexuality and Health, the lecturer, who has not been named, told students that homosexuality was the cause of a myriad of health issues including AIDS, depression and higher levels of smoking.
Notes from Poland reports that the lecturer told students: "Only men and women fit together, physically and also mentally." Meanwhile, social media posts showed that the bibliography for the lecture consisted only of Roman Catholic websites, as opposed to academically-verified sources.
The lecture also claimed that straight relationships were proven to be superior to gay ones because of "biology and science" and that gay relationships were less "durable" than straight ones.
After news of the lecture broke, the Silesian Medical University fired the lecturer concerned, with a spokesperson saying: "Homophobic behaviour is not and will not be supported."
However, Jarosław Gowin is now planning to intervene, saying: "If it turns out to be true, it will be a glaring case of violating the constitutional principle of free speech.
"I will consistently oppose any attempts to limit academic freedom from the left or the right, but also from within the academic community."
As medical universities fall under the Polish Health Ministry, Gowin said he would consult with the Polish Health Minister, Łukasz Szumowski to "clarify the case."
This isn't the first time that Gowin has defended homophobic lecturers, after coming to the defence of another one earlier this year who claimed that LGBTQ groups were "travelling rapists" and a "plague." In this case, the lecturer was reinstated.
Meanwhile, the Conference of Rectors of Polish Universities have urged for restraint in the public discussion of LGBTQ issues. They urged people to stick to "scientific facts" noting that sexual orientation wasn't a choice or ideological decision.
Poland has recently been hit with a wave of homophobia from politicians, the media and religious figures as the conservative ruling party sought re-election. Gazeta Polska, a Polish newspaper which supports the Law and Justice Party, began distributing stickers with 'LGBT-free zone' printed on them.
The stickers were eventually stopped by a Warsaw district judge, and some advertisers abandoned the paper over the homophobic stunt.
Meanwhile, Catholic bishops accused IKEA of LGBTQ indoctrination, after a Polish branch fired a worker for sharing homophobic Bible verses.
The employee, known only as Tomasz K. posted homophobic Bible verses on the store's internal intranet after the store requested staff members attend an International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia event.
And Archbishop Marek Jedraszewski also claimed that a "rainbow plague" was affecting Poland, comparing LGBTQ equality to Communism.
In a sermon, he said: "Our land is no longer affected by the red plague, which does not mean that there is no new one that wants to control our souls, hearts and minds. Not Marxist, Bolshevik, but born of the same spirit, neo-Marxist. Not red, but rainbow."
The post Polish minister defends lecturer who taught that homosexuality was "incompatible with nature" appeared first on Gay Times.

More than a half million people worked in mortgage lending as of October 2005 — the highest month on record. Five years later, fewer than half are left. Headcount in real estate finance fell by another thousand based on the Third-Quarter 2010 Mortgage Employment Index from MortgageDaily.com, a leading online news publication for the mortgage industry.
During the third quarter, 3,216 layoffs were tracked, worse than the second quarter's 2,028, according to the report, which reflects data tracked by Mortgage Daily and is an indicator of overall mortgage employment activity.
Hirings also deteriorated, falling to 2,286 from the prior period's 2,768.
The net effect was that there were 930 fewer people working in the mortgage sector than in the second quarter. Third-quarter activity also worsened from a year earlier.
In October 2005, near the end of the bull real estate market that eventually collapsed and sparked the Great Recession, mortgage employment peaked at 535,400 based on government data. In September 2010, industry-wide headcount had fallen to 246,400.
In 2007 alone, the Mortgage Employment Index fell by 87,131.
The decision to close Wells Fargo Financial Inc. had a huge impact on third-quarter activity. Without the loss of those jobs, the Mortgage Employment Index would have had a gain.
More than a hundred layoffs were reported for First Mortgage Corp. and Wealthbridge Mortgage.
Net gains of more than 200 occurred at JPMorgan Chase & Co., MetLife Bank and Neighborhood Assistance Corp.
Maryland, Illinois and Oregon had the biggest net losses in the third quarter, while more layoffs occurred in California than any other state.
North Carolina saw a net gain of more than 500 jobs — better than any of its 49 counterparts. Hundreds of hirings also happened in California and Texas.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa -- Marshalltown police officers will say it was just another day on the job.
"It's what we do and it's not something we go out and try and get recognized for," said officer Vern Jefferson.
That is why the city made sure everyone knew their actions this fall were extraordinary.
"Immediately, when we first got there, it was very obvious that he was in dire straits and would need immediate assistance," recalled Sergeant Melinda Ruopp.
On September 19th, police arrived to the 700 block of North 3rd Street in Marshalltown after a 911 hangup call.
Chief Michael Tupper said, "An adult male had severely injured himself and the male subject was bleeding profusely."
Officer Brad Mauseth was first on the scene when he saw the man suffering from self-inflicted neck wounds.
"No matter how much you are trained, when you walk into a situation like that you still have that 'oh my God' moment when you walk in," said Mauseth.
Trying to save the man's life, Officer Mauseth knew he needed help.
"I don't think one could have done it, I don't think two could have done it. We definitely needed all four of us chipped in, and even the four of us it was a lot of work," said Sergeant Ruopp.
Officers were able to render aid together.
"When I walked into the scene, my three partners were actively fighting with the subject to get him under control and get him first aid," said Detective Dawn Blahnik.
"The biggest part was just communication that we had with each other and understanding what we are going to do, what the next step is going to be," said Jefferson.
It was life-saving action, despite the man's efforts to prevent it.
Mauseth said, "One thing that you see over time in people that are in this mental state and in a mental health crisis, once that crisis is passed they are glad they didn't successfully commit their task."
The Marshalltown Police Department's life-saving award is just a small token for what these brave men and women say is an every day occurrence.
Ruopp said, "I am 100% certain every officer in our department deserves this award, for one thing or another, that they've done in their career."


I don't know how many blogs and YouTube clips I've seen now of people, like me, living with chronic illness and telling the world (or the part of the world that will listen) Just How It Is from their bed. I'm about to join the ranks. Today has been pretty awful and for the first time I'm blogging from my phone lying in the dark with the light from this palmed sized screen lighting up my words. I feel far too sick to lift my head from the pillow and even if I could summon the energy to take a walk around the local neighbourhood I'd only scare my fellow residents looking very much like a wan Halloween ghost with a time-keeping problem.
I don't know if I believe in anything beyond the comfort of these four walls right now. Although I do know I've felt steam-rollered by sickness before and regained enough energy to take tentative steps out in to the world again. I'm hoping for a gentle ascent back in to a less than frantic activity soon.
Before I began writing this I had a vision of a cartoon that I don't think actually exists anywhere outside of my fatigue fuddled head. There's a plane and God is there (the wonders of imagination mean that you can insert any version of God you wish to here) ushering a line of parachutists out in to the gaping sky. One is wearing a parachute with the word 'Life' emblazoned upon it in tall confident letters. Just before the jump God pats the parachutist on the back saying "Watch out, it's quick !". And that's pretty much how I feel, Woody Allen sums it up much more succinctly here.
So here I am in the dark almost bent double by the feather filled tower of pillows I am lying on and, if it weren't for my writing this, I'd be doing nothing. But would I really, my thoughts running like a high speed train, my tireless preoccupation with myself even when I barely have the energy to roll from one side of the bed to the other.
I breathe and in that tiny pause between in-breath and out-breath I glimpse the light from the hall shining through the transom above the door, hear the slow march of my alarm clock ticking and this thought occurs to me - what if I can just let the nothing be as it is, what if I can see these moments when I am too ill to participate in what life offers as quiet moments of clarity, and the nothing that I flee from as an illuminated bridge between life and death. If I can stop fighting (even for a micro moment) won't I be better prepared for when the infinite finally comes to take me away ?

celebrity speaker Kenny Burns is a former Scotland international footballer. The peak of his playing career was Nottingham Forest, with whom he won the 1977–78 Football League title and the FWA Player of the Year award. He also won two European Cups and two Football League Cups.
born in Glasgow kenny started his career with Rangers as an apprentice, but did not play a senior match for the club. On being released in 1971, aged 17, he signed for Birmingham City. He arrived at the Blues as a defender, but was converted to striker after Bob Latchford left in 1974. He earned the first of his 20 international caps in that role soon afterwards.
kenny was Forest's player of the year in 1977–78,as he more than helped secure the First Division title for Forest that season, their first year after returning to the top flight. They also won that season's Football League Cup with a 1–0 replay victory over Liverpool; kenny collected the trophy as captain deputising for the injured John McGovern.
kenny burns was an influential figure in the side's European Cup campaigns over the next three seasons, his defensive partnership with Larry Lloyd instrumental to Forest's victory in the 1979 and 1980 tournaments.[citation needed] He also scored in the second leg of the 1979 UEFA Super Cup final victory against Barcelona.[9] At one time he was renowned for his 'wild man' image[6] and while maintaining an aggressive nature, he also possessed a shrewd football brain and was always likely to score vital goals.
He was Forest's player of the year a second time in 1980–81, his last season at the City Ground. Leeds United paid Forest a £400,000 fee for kenny. He stayed with the Yorkshire side until 1984, and he was the club player of the year in 1982–83.
kenny spent 1984–85 at Derby County, also playing a small number of games on loan at Notts County. His last season in the Football League was in 1985-86 at Barnsley, before a spell at Elfsborg in Sweden. He went on to represent a string of non-league clubs as player or player-coach, finishing up as assistant manager of Telford United in 1993.
with 26 caps for Scotland Kenny has many stories to tell as an after dinner speaker.


A 500 mL, three-necked round bottom flask was purged with N2. To the flask was added 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (250 mg, 4.668 mmol, 4 equiv), benzophenone (850.6 mg, 1.167 mmol, 4 equiv, 1.0 equiv per NH2 functionality), 1,4-diazobicyclo[2.2.2] octane (DABCO) (3.142 g, 28.008 mmol, 24 equiv) and chlorobenzene (100 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature under N2. Titanium (IV) chloride (7.002 mL, 7.002 mmol, 6 equiv, 1M in toluene) was syringed in portions over 15 minutes. After the addition, the mixture was stirred for another 20 min at room temperature. The flask was then equipped with a reflux condenser, and the reaction was stirred at 125 ºC for 72 hours. The reaction was then cooled to 40 ºC and vacuum filtered through a Buchner funnel equipped with filter paper. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was dry-loaded onto silica gel (~3x by mass, 750 mg) and purified using column chromatography using a Teledyne ISCO flash chromatograph system on a 12g column (50% chloroform in hexanes for 4 minutes to 100% chloroform for a remaining 11 minutes). Benzophenone eluted first, and the yellow/orange product eluted second. The product was verified by thin layer chromatography (Rf =0.12) using 100% chloroform and the fractions were concentrated to yield an orange solid (590 mg, 6.779 mmol, 29% yield).

Data concerns over ransomware attack on NHS software supplier
A software outage that has affected the running of the NHS 111 service across the UK has been confirmed as a ransomware attack.
The incident, first reported early on Thursday 4 August, affected several healthcare customers of managed service provider Advanced. It is currently unclear whether patient data has been compromised, but several NHS services remain affected.
Advanced provide the Adastra patient management system which helps clinicians at the telephone and online 111 service to manage and refer patients for care, including ambulance dispatch, out-of-hours appointment bookings, and emergency prescriptions. It is now believed that in addition, the attack has also affected its Caresys and Carenotes systems, which are used to run processes for care home services such as patient notes and visitor bookings.
The National Cyber Security Centre is investigating the scale of the damage caused by the attack, and the Information Commissioner's Office is also making inquiries.
Advanced has originally hoped to fully restore systems earlier this week, but now admits that it could take three or four weeks to recover.

HomeThe Inscrutable St. Patrick
The Inscrutable St. Patrick
May 14, 2016 May 14, 2016 Quintus Curtius Biography, HistoryArmagh, Daire, St Patrick
The first modern, comprehensive biography of St. Patrick was written by the scholar J.B. Bury, who was a professor of history at Cambridge University for many years. As usual in a work by this great author, it is thoroughly sourced and documented, and yet retains a readability and freshness that makes it timeless. He relates this fable that supposedly happened during the foundation of Armagh in A.D. 444.
Patrick laid his eyes on a hill named Macha and desired to acquire it to construct a monastery. The local king, Daire, refused this request, and gave the saint another parcel. One of the king's men later brought a horse to graze in a field owned by the monastery. Patrick asked him not to do this, but he was rebuffed. The following day, the horse was found dead. The king's man told Daire that the saint was responsible. The king then ordered a group of men to capture Patrick and slay him.
But soon after, the king was stricken with an illness. His wife was superstitious, and believed that it was some sort of curse that had come about from trying to kill a holy man. She begged Daire to call off the assassins; she also told the king to seek the saint's blessing. This he did. Men went to Patrick and told him that the king was sick. So the saint consecrated some water and first sprinkled it on the dead horse. The horse was instantly revived, apparently from the dead. Some of the water was also brought to the king, and it restored him to health as well.
The king was grateful for the gesture and desired to repay the saint. He had a large bronze vessel–very expensive–brought to the saint. Patrick said only this: Gratias agamus, which in Latin literally means, "We give you thanks." But the king, ignorant of the language, only heard something that sounded to him like gratzacham. The taciturn Patrick said nothing else to the king.
When Daire returned home, he became more and more peeved at this inscrutable religious man. He ordered a few of his servants to bring back the bronze vessel, which the ascetic Patrick apparently could not appreciate. When the men brought back the bronze vessel, the king asked his men what Patrick's response had been. "He only said one word to us, and it was gratzacham."
The king now was amused. "What kind of man is this? He says gratzacham when he gets something, and gratzacham when he loses something. This must be a good word." He then went right away to pay Patrick another visit, and this time he delivered the bronze vessel in person. "Please keep this, holy man, for you are a steadfast and solid-minded man." And he gave Patrick this vessel, as well as the land that the saint had originally wanted.
This was how the saint demonstrated that patience, and a dash of inscrutability, are more effective than bellowing and bombast.

Q: How can I debug (preferably in an IDE) an MSBuild script? We use MSBuild quite extensively as part of our continuous integration process, and whilst it is incredibly powerful and we can do practically all of our build, test and deployment within it (utilising some custom tasks) - we've found that debugging it using  tags is a pain and cannot always provide us with enough information.
I've found: http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2007/12/03/msbuild-debuggers.aspx, but unfortunately the project seems to have disappeared from Codeplex.
Does anyone have any idea if there is something similar to this available or if there is another way/technique that can be used?
Thanks.

A: You can step through MSBuild scripts in Visual Studio if you are using MSBuild 4.0 or higher.
It's a simple registry change and then a /debug switch when running MSBuild.
See here for a complete walkthrough: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2010/07/06/debugging-msbuild-script-with-visual-studio.aspx

A: I use the /v:diagnostic command-line switch.  MSBuild spits out some pretty verbose output.  You can also spit the verbose output to a log file instead of the console, using the /fl[n] command line switch, and then use the /flp[n] (filelogparameter) switch to specify the verbosity level, e.g., /flp:Verbosity=diagnostic;LogFile=latest_diagnostic.log
You have to design your build scripts from the start to make troubleshooting easier.  Do things like:
Make each target as granular as possible, so you can call each target individually.  This helps make the debugging process much quicker.
Make sure your tasks inherit from the Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Task class.  It exposes a Log property that has way too many logging functions.  I typically err on the side of caution use the LogMessage(MessageImportance,string,params object[]).  My debugging messages get a message importance of MessageImportance.Low so they only appear when the verbosity mode is diagnostic.
Use System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine for outputting messages that are are too low-level to log.  I use DebugView to look at those messages.
Lastly, try not to do really complicated things in the MSBuild script itself.  MSBuild excels at managing dependencies, lists of files, and running tasks.  Anything more complicated or advanced should be moved to custom tasks written in your .NET language of choice.  This has the added benefit of making things much easier to debug.  When you've got your logic in code, you can use System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch() method, which will allow you to attach MSBuild to the debugger in a running instance of Visual Studio (hopefully one that has your custom task already loaded).
Good luck!

A: It's worth looking at the undocumented debugger in VS 2010 also.

A: You could also have a look at the excellent commercial app (with 14 day trial) MSBuild Sidekick at Attrice Corp to debug your MSBuild-script.

A: Well if you're using custom tasks, you can utilize this approach: How To: Debug a custom MSBuild task using Visual Studio

Friends were recently discussion kitchen cupboards. A well organized kitchen thrills me, so I offered to photo-document what's going on in my cabinets. When I designed this kitchen in the fall of 2008, I centered my thoughts around working zones and storage. I'm a 'everything in it's place and a place for everything' sorta girl, so I designated space for what we use where we use it. Primarily I selected IKEA drawers because they keep things organized.
The sink and dishwasher are in the washing zone along with most of our serving dishes.
The counter on the pass through holds the Kitchen Aid Mixer on top and baking supplies in drawers below.
Surrounding the stove is open storage for pots and pans.
Pantry items and mixed drink supplies are in skinny cabinets along the wall opposite.
Cooking tools and more pantry items are in drawers below.
So there's a quick and dirty tour of my kitchen cupboards! What's in your kitchen? If you would like to join the bare-all party, leave a link to a post about your kitchen cupboards or pictures in the comments.
Open Sky Store is Open!
