En , elle est envoyée dans un orphelinat d'une organisation caritative juive par intermédiaire de l'activiste , après que son père a été arrêté par la Gestapo en . Elle cesse de recevoir les lettres de ses parents en . Ne pouvant aller au lycée, réservé alors aux garçons, elle suit des cours dans une école ménagère à Herisau. En 1945, elle apprend que ses parents ont été tués pendant l'Holocauste, peut-être au camp de concentration d'Auschwitz.

Elle décide d'émigrer vers la Palestine sous contrôle britannique et elle rejoint la principale armée secrète du futur État d'Israël, la Haganah, à Jérusalem. Elle y reçoit une formation d'éclaireuse et de tireuse d'élite. En 1948, elle est blessée par un tir de mortier jordanien.

En 1950, elle s'installe en France, où elle étudie et enseigne la psychologie à l'Université de Paris. En 1956, elle émigre aux États-Unis.

Puis elle est invitée à participer à des talk-shows en Europe et dans d'autres parties du monde. Elle conçoit plus de 450 programmes télévisés.

Un documentaire sur sa vie, Ask Dr. Ruth, sort en 2019.  Elle déclare que le fait de voir des enfants réfugiés séparés de leurs parents la bouleverse, parce que sa propre histoire se reflète dans ce qu'ils vivent.

Elle devient citoyenne américaine en 1965. Puis elle redevient citoyenne allemande en 2007 grâce au  permettant aux personnes privées de leur citoyenneté pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale de la retrouver.

Weyes Blood's New Album Is A Stunner
And you can stream it here.
By Emilie Friedlander
Photographer Adam Golfer
Over the summer, I interviewed Natalie Mering, aka Bucks County, Pennsylvania singer Weyes Blood, in the sunny back garden of a bar in Greenpoint. It was for a Gen F profile the appeared in the August/September print issue of The FADER, and we talked about a lot of things, including her roots in the Philly noise and New Weird America scenes, her interest in mining the "pop archetypes" of the 20th century, and her practice of "unhinging" her voice when she sings, as though she were "blasting harmonically" through "two open alligator jaws." The technique helped explain the almost debilitating swell of emotion she manages to pack into each one of melodically acrobatic folk songs, although there was one thing she said to me that day—something that actually didn't make it into the piece—that actually made me tear up. It was her description of the lyrical inspiration by her new album, The Innocents, which we're streaming in full below:
"The album is about that phase in your early 20s where you go through your first real relationships, your first real breakups, go through your first real doubting yourself and the world," she'd said. "There's this kind of robust confidence that I had as a teenager that became really constricted and slowly, like, weighted down by sensory experience by the time I was in my mid-20s. This record was kind of, like, innocent. It's called The Innocents. So it's the concept of being young enough to not really understand the implications of your decisions and then kind of feeling the weight later and being, like, but I was innocent. Like, did I deserve this? But it's a beautiful thing, because we all deserve it and it's fine and everyone goes through it—just learning how to relate to other people and have relationships." The Innocents is out October 21st via Mexican Summer, and it's about as startlingly plainspoken and universally resonant as Mering's words were on that day. Watch a video for "Some Winters" here.

Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas: Government is Searching for Comandante Fantasma
By Sol Prendido 5/25/2021 01:59:00 PM 21 comments
"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
Developing news has just appeared online concerning Comandante Fantasma. The Mexican government is actively looking for him in the state of Zacatecas. As the story progresses more details will be released.
Photos of his hitmen handing out aid packages to help cash-strapped residents ride out the coronavirus pandemic have also appeared online.
The Mexican Army is looking for the "Ghost Commander", the chief of assassins responsible for the insecurity in the municipality of Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas.
"El Fantasma" is a member of the Gulf Cartel and has an alliance with another cartel in Zacatecas.

That ghost looks very scary ,,,,,
Sicario006 May 25, 2021 at 2:15 PM
Animo Sicarios!
El Commandante Fantasma is already on "la lista Negra " .
A highly trained commando group of Special Operations Combat Application Group from Grupo Flechas has already identified him . A Search and Destroy mission is currently on its way.
These operators were trained by a Paramilitary Operations Officers and Specialized Skills Officers from the CIA Special Activities Center and by a British SAS commander who was involved in the search of high Value targets during the Iraq and Libya incidents.
El Jardinero was removed from the list as he has returned to his job as an assistant manager at the gardening department at a local hardware store.
Grupo Flechas XXX ANTRAX
La Mayiza
Special activities division no longer exist under that name.
Is not too late , Mijo. Ya deja de pegarle al foco... Can someone refer Sicario to a rehab center, please...LOL. This guy is just hilarious.
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

That wasn't your best work naughtnaughtsix, but a solid effort. I give it a 6.5.
Your comments are always on point Sicario006. Those daily briefings with CDS higher ups keeps the rest of us well informed. As every yearbook says "don't ever change"👍👍👍
OMG, you're infected!
- Ghost of hahaha Joker
Fans of sic600 corral welcome.
El fantasma got trained by Rambo and Chuck Norris I highly doubt it he will get caught
Yeah but 006 was personally trained by General Patton, Sun Tzu, AND John Wick.
They better hope 006 and his super alpha wolf team don't get involved..
Hopefully dudes sneakers don't come loose or his baggy ass pants get in the way while fighting because if you're that fukn comfortable to think you're about to engage in a gun battle in some sneakers against trained military personnel in Mexico...YOURE TRIPPING!
These fukn dudes are a bunch of low life scumbags. They all deserved to get killed.
I'm sure there's organized crime all over the world. Even in countries in western and southern europe and you don't see them dudes mobbing around in convoys tryna tell the govt and society what they can and can't do.
We passed the point of no return in Mexico a long long long time ago.
Yup that shows how decentralized cartels became. There was a time when they had codes to follow, not just anyone could join, sicarios were respected and we'll paid because they often were bodyguards to the bosses.
And now that the all the bosses (except MZ) fell, everyone wants to become the next one, they all fight even for street corners, look at those sicarios, you can tell they're broke, some are even forced, alot are into hard drugs so they don't give a shit about anything, Cartels now look less like a mafia, even if the higher ranking guys have political power and are involved in white collar crimes and corruption like all the other organized crime groups around the world, they display an image of a militia rather than a mafia. All these dudes on armored trucks with machine guns looks more like a terrorist group on the middle east or a rebel group on some war torn country.
Europe has mafiosos that do control the local governtment and people and are also just as crazy killing people who don't do as they say they're also the younger mafiosos that don't follow the codes their elders did, we just don't hear about it because they're not armed like the Mexicans, and that's because Mexico has the biggest arm dealer of the world next door, just like USA armed many rebel groups, they also armed the Sinaloa cartel (operation fast and furious) guns get smuggled into Mexico so easy, and the bigger caliber weapons like .50 cal machine guns are bought from Central American countries that aquired them from the USA during their civil wars. I guarantee that if Italians had easy access to weapons like they do in Mexico, they would've also had a shit show.
Looks like a good man , helping out people plus doing what he has to do , I wonder ,,,,
The 2nd lady looks like she's over this shit lol it's stupid. Hey let's deliver a box with my logo and make them take pictures. So cool.... like come on
It's pretty easy to recognize the "Fantasma"s people, they all wear red sneakers.
Look at those "wannabe" sicarios🤣😂😆
Obvious guy May 25, 2021 at 6:15 PM
Will suck if the military gets him and hands him over to CDS. Still remember How the Gulf was always telling Cachetes from Talibanes they would get him and yep they did.
Bigghedd1010 May 25, 2021 at 11:06 PM
All of their weapons lick very old raggedy and poorly maintained definitely seems like the feed with jam before the first mag would be ran through would be ran through
CDG is no CDS or CJNG they are poor compared to them
I assume you mean "look", not "lick" @bigghead. Those weapons look worn, not old. And the only way things look worn is if it's in constant use. That tells me they've been busy with those weapons. I don't know what people expect for sicarios to look like, but I know this... Looks can be decieving. That's fact.

Did you know you could add £50,000 to the value of your property just by knocking down a wall? Here's how to make money by improving your home.
Investing in your house can reap huge financial reward, as well as making your home a nicer place to live. How much you could add depends very much on where you live and the type of property you have. So, think about who's most likely to buy your house, and what would appeal to them.
If you don't have it already, central heating will add value to your home, as well as making life far more comfortable. How much you'll pay depends on the size of your house – a four-bedroom house should cost around £4,000 and take a team of two labourers five days to install.
Few people these days keep their car in the garage, so it frequently ends up being an underused space. Converting a garage is a relatively cheap way to add extra living space to your home, costing an average £5,000.
You can use it as a home office or create a little self-contained flat that would work well for granny or an au pair, or even as an Airbnb let. If you do go down the Airbnb route, though, make sure you tell your insurance provider that's what you intend to do.
Live in London? If so, you could add nearly £50,000 to your home's value by simply taking down an internal wall to create an open-plan kitchen/diner. The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) and HomeOwners Alliance (HOA) claim that doing as much increases the value of a London house by £48,417.
Loft conversions are a relatively simple way to get another bedroom and bathroom. Make sure yours is in keeping with the style of the house, and that you have enough ceiling space. Costs will vary but should be somewhere around £30,000. The result could be an extra 20% on the value of your house.
The side return is an alley that runs next to the kitchen, often seen in Victorian houses. If you extend the kitchen into it, you'll end up with a large, eat-in kitchen and family room. This could add 15% to the value of your property.
Adding a garden room is much less hassle than building an extension. They're also versatile – you can use one as an office, playroom or even a guest room. Prices vary enormously, but you can expect to pay around £6,500. And if you live in Surrey, it could add over £35,000 to your home's value.
Depending on where you live, this is potentially a great way to increase the value of your home. According to the Federation of Master Builders, it's a seven-day job that should cost around £2,600. But if you live in Dartmoor, it will add nearly £15,500 to the value of your house.
All this can add up, cost-wise, but is essential. When deciding what to do, it's worth getting professional advice from a builder or surveyor.
That means painting the walls, decluttering and replacing damaged sealant around the bath. Taken individually, these improvements aren't going to add much to your sale price, but collectively they will help create that all-important wow factor. Decluttering and limiting the amount of furniture could significantly help to make rooms look nice and spacious.
When the work is done, you'll need to reassess your property's value for insurance purposes. Both your contents insurance and your buildings insurance premiums may rise. Use our comparison service to make sure you're still getting a good deal on your cover.


For its latest in a spate of partnerships, EMC today says it has validated Versa's FlexVNF software with EMC's network functions virtualization infrastructure (NFVi) platform.
EMC's platform with Versa's software creates "a virtual CPE in a rack," according to Mark Weiner, Versa's chief marketing officer. Each Versa virtual network function (VNF) supports up to 250 customer organizations, as opposed to having to deploy individual aggregation devices for each customer. This can really cut down on the hardware needed to deploy managed services.
Versa's virtualized network and security functions can be deployed on commodity x86 hardware in service provider points of presence or data centers. The Versa-EMC combination supports both VMware and OpenStack environments.
Hardware abstraction and orchestration are provided by EMC's NFVi manager software, and storage is provided through EMC's ScaleIO.
VNFs are provided by Versa's FlexVNF software and include a range of functions including routing, VPN, carrier-grade network address translation, a next-gen firewall, URL filtering, and antivirus and intrusion prevention services. The VNFs include integrated service chaining.
EMC is on a roll, establishing partnerships within its new Telecom Modernization group. It recently announced two partnerships related to its analytics platform: one with Cellwize and one with Affirmed Networks.

Samsung set to post better-than-expected profits
City Index April 7, 2015 4:26 PM

Samsung has forecast a quarterly operating of around 5.9 trillion won.

Samsung Electronics is set for another substantial boost in profits, according to its latest forecast.
The South Korean firm has announced that it expects to post a quarterly operating profit of around 5.9 trillion won (£3.65 billion) for the first three months of 2015. Should this prove to be the case then Samsung will have exceeded market expectations but would represent a drop of 30 per cent in profit from the same period a year earlier.
Samsung has long been boosted by its mobile division but this has struggled to retain its dominance against rivals such as Apple and Chinese smartphone-makers like Xiaomi. With the launch of products such as the iPhone 6 and the iPad, Apple has been able to keep up its strong performance levels.
In January, the Californian company posted a net profit of $18 billion (£11.8 billion) for its first fiscal quarter. It represented the largest quarterly profit ever made by a public company and dwarfed the £15.9 billion made by ExxonMobil in the second quarter of 2012, according to Standard and Poor's.
This level of performance highlights the challenge faced by the likes of Samsung when it comes to toppling Apple. However, the Korean company's latest trading update does provide some positive signs and it will be looking to continue this growth in the coming months and years.
Coinciding with Samsung's profit forecast, the company also unveiled its latest smartphone – the Galaxy S6 edge. The latest model from the Samsung factory floor is set to go head-to-head with Apple's iPhone 6S and builds on the success of the S5 and S6. The S6 edge has been billed as Samsung's most elegant phone ever.
This is encapsulated with a number of high-end materials, shimmer-effect cases and smooth finishes throughout, making this a hugely aesthetically pleasing model.

[UPDATE] 'The Little Mermaid': Diamond Edition Blu-ray Coming This October
by Morgan Stradling
in Disney, The Latest Animation News
Disney just barely released its most recent Diamond Edition, Peter Pan, but has quickly ramped up its marketing machine to announce The Little Mermaid as the next Diamond Edition in the lineup. This will be the first time The Little Mermaid has been released in high definition and digital formats.
Many know that Disney recently cancelled the 3D re-release of The Little Mermaid, most likely due to disappointing box office numbers from Monsters Inc. 3D and Finding Nemo 3D. While many were disappointed they wouldn't be able to see this Disney classic on the big screen again, unfortunately it seems unlikely that the 3D conversion (if it was ever finished) will be included in the Blu-ray combo packs. However, before the 3D release was cancelled, there were rumors of a 3D Blu-ray release.
The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition is available October 1, 2013. Watch the trailer below!
[UPDATE 2/6/13, 12:44 pm MST] Our fan, Faisal, informed us that many Disney employees who were working on the 3D Mermaid project are currently still working on the conversion. According to a compilation of Disney employee tweets on the subject, the cancellation of the 3D was blown out of proportion by media outlets and the theatrical release is being pushed back to an undecided date. This isn't an official confirmation, but if this is true, then the Blu-ray most likely will be released with a 3D disc in October.

For most people a trip to the hairdressers is a pleasurable one. You relax in a comfortable salon for a while and exit with better hair. You can't wait to show off your new look. But for some people, this salon trip becomes a nightmare. Hair dye and bleach are powerful chemicals and many procedures in the beauty salon are potentially dangerous. What happens if your hair is damaged during a dye or bleaching procedure? What can you do legally to recover damages from these injuries?
It may surprise you to learn that hairdressing remains unregulated, which means that anyone can be a hairdresser and offer their hair services to the public. While most hairdressers are good at what they do, there are hairdressers out there who are not properly trained or are simply very bad at hairdressing tasks.
Bald patches on the head are caused by hair loss due to damaged hair and they may be temporary or permanent depending on the severity of the damage. Bald patches can be extremely distressing to cope with.
The chemicals in hair dye or bleach can damage the follicles if they are not applied in the correct way. If they are left on too long, for example, or the patch test has not been completed, the hair can be damaged.
Powerful hair dye chemicals can burn the scalp if left on too long or applied in the wrong concentration. Many people have suffered severe burns after a misapplication of hair dye. It can also cause scalp irritation and pain.
If your hair has been ruined or your scalp marked, if you lose hair or your hair has been burned, you will experience psychological pain and trauma. In some cases this is severe enough to prevent you living a normal life and can lead to depression.
Most hair dye and hair injury claims occur through the actions of an incompetent or an unqualified hairdresser. They may have failed to do the proper skin patch tests or they may not be concentrating when applying the chemicals to the hair.
According to solicitor JoanneDuPlessis.com, the hairdresser has a duty of care to protect their customer and their customer's hair using all reasonable measures. If you suffer an injury after a hair dye or a bleach treatment it could be that the hairdresser was negligent. If they have been negligent then you are entitled to make a legal claim.

Apprenticeships Could Help Reduce Youth Unemployment, Business Leaders Say
January 23, 2014 8:52 am January 23, 2014 8:52 am

DAVOS, Switzerland – An old concept may be coming back into vogue as business leaders and governments struggle with ways to address high unemployment rates among young people after the financial crisis: the apprenticeship.
Speaking on a panel at the World Economic Forum, Guy Ryder, director general of the International Labour Organization, said apprenticeships, once common, disappeared in Britain and many other developed nations as economies shifted from manufacturing goods to selling goods.
"You wonder why my generation was not in manufacturing," Mr. Ryder said. "We were told those were jobs of the past. A bit of a reset is coming up."
The aftermath of the financial crisis, combined with a lack of technical training programs and a perception that manufacturing jobs are not ones to aspire to, has left a generation of young people without jobs or the highly technical skills needed to get them, panel members said Thursday.
Nearly 75 million young people were unemployed worldwide in 2012, according to the World Economic Forum.
Facing an aging population of skilled workers, business leaders said they were hoping to change that through technical training and programs, including apprenticeships and internships, that are intended to give young people the skills they need to succeed in today's work force and avoid a "lost generation" of workers.

Klaus C. Kleinfeld, chairman and chief executive of the aluminum maker Alcoa, said the company was working with a program in Whitehall, Mich., to encourage girls to pursue careers related to science, technology, engineering or mathematics. That includes "modern" manufacturing, he said.
"They think it's a dirty job, a repetitive job," he said. "It is not dirty at all, not repetitive at all. There are a lot of opportunities for advancement."
Muhtar A. Kent, chairman and chief executive of the Coca-Cola Company, said Coke had undertaken a program called 5by20 to assist female entrepreneurs, with the goal of empowering five million women by 2020.
"If we do not help create sustainable communities where we operate and where we distribute our products, we will not be able to continue to operate," Mr. Kent said. "If we do not do something about youth employment, the social mosaic as we know it is going to crack."

Depressive symptoms are common in schizophrenia and can worsen outcomes and increase suicide risk. Lurasidone ( latuda ) is an atypical antipsychotic agent indicated for the treatment of schizophrenia and for the treatment of major depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder.
A post hoc analysis has evaluated the effect of Lurasidone on depressive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia.
Patient-level data were pooled from 4 similarly designed, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 6-week registration studies of Lurasidone ( 40-160 mg/d ) in adult patients with an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia.
Changes in depressive symptoms, measured by the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale ( MADRS ), were analyzed for the overall sample and for subgroups of patients stratified by baseline MADRS scores.
MADRS assessments at baseline and endpoint ( day 42 or last observation carried forward [ LOCF ] ) were available for 1330 patients.
Patients receiving Lurasidone experienced significantly greater decreases in MADRS score ( -2.8, least-squares [ LS ] mean change, LOCF ) compared with patients receiving placebo ( -1.4, P less than 0.001, effect size 0.24 ).
Analysis of change in MADRS score ( LOCF ) by baseline symptom severity ( MADRS score of greater than or equal to 12, greater than or equal to 14, greater than or equal to 16, greater than or equal to 18 ) showed significantly greater improvement for Lurasidone-treated patients across all severity groups; effect sizes ranged from 0.25 to 0.34.
Among patients with a baseline MADRS score of greater than or equal to 12, depressive symptom remission ( defined as MADRS score less than 10 at LOCF endpoint ) was attained by 45.0% of Lurasidone-treated patients and 36.3% of patients receiving placebo ( P less than 0.05 ).

Baseball Makes a Mighty Pitch in China and Africa
Jonathan Berr
Phillies Pitcher
Baseball may be America's game, but it's eager to expand in international markets. Recently, it has tried to recruit fans in China and Africa, but results have been mixed.
Major League Baseball is having a particularly hard time in China. As The Economist recently noted, the late Chairman Mao reportedly considered the game a symbol of the "decadent West" and encouraged the Chinese people to play basketball. This goes a long way toward explaining the National Basketballs Association's continued popularity in the People's Republic. Meanwhile, baseball has tried mightily to make inroads in the country for years, but continues to struggle.
"Despite a big promotional budget, MLB has not made much of an impression. It has brought branded clothing to Chinese stores, but not balls or bats," The Economist says. "Fields are rare. MLB is trying, belatedly, to rectify this, funding a development centre at a school in Wuxi that has access to a field created by expatriates."
Remember Harry Kingman?
Taiwan, which China considers a renegade province, has a league of its own, and the 12U Youth Baseball World Championship is scheduled to be held in Taipei in July. However, across the Taiwan Strait, the world's most populous country is still a baseball wasteland. In fact, China has only produced one Major Leaguer: Harry Kingman, a child of American missionaries, played for the New York Yankees between July 1, 1914 and August 20, 1914.
The minor leagues are even worse. According to Sean Forman, president of Sports Reference, no Chinese-born players have ever suited up for a minor league team.
Still, baseball isn't giving up on China. In 2007, MLBlaunched a grassroots program called Play Ball! at 120 elementary schools across China. At the same time, former players and coaches -- including Hall of Famer Cal Ripkin Jr. and Milwaukee Brewers slugger Prince Fielder -- have conducted clinics in China. And in terms of TV programming, MLB signed a new broadcasting deal with three partners in China that expanded the audience for regular-season games, the All-Star Game and the World Series.
MLB's prospects in Africa are more promising. While baseball is played in many African countries, it's probably most popular in South Africa, where Texas Rangers Pitcher C.J. Wilson recently conducted clinics. More than 250,000 players participate in adult and youth leagues, according to the South African Baseball Union.
MLB scouts have already found some promising talent there, signing eight South Africans and one Nigerian, according to an MLB spokeswoman. Anthony Philips of South Africa briefly played shortstop for the AAA affiliate of the Seattle Mariners, and Dylan "Sharky" Unsworth, a promising young pitcher from South Africa, also plays in the Mariners system. In 2008, Gift Ngoepe, a South African playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates, became the first black African to sign a Major League contract. The infielder is still in the minor leagues.
The Africa Baseball and Softball Association continues to promote the sport, which must vie for attention against more popular pastimes such as soccer and cricket. Baseball games are televised in Africa over ESPN.
However, while baseball doesn't always receive TV coverage, it is growing in popularity. "In countries such as Nigeria, South Africa, Cameroon, Tunisia, Uganda, Senegal and even Cote d'Ivoire, to name a few, national championships are held regularly and are covered by media," Isidore Tameu, an ASBA spokesman, tells DailyFinance. "Unfortunately, media coverage does not always fulfill the hopes and expectations of the federations. Efforts are currently being implemented by ABSA for finding effective ways to increase the visibility of baseball in the media."
South Africa's temperate weather make it especially suitable for baseball because it can be played all year round.
The quality of the baseball, though, still needs to improve. South Africa got crushed in the 2009 World Baseball Classic, conceding 22 runs.
In an interview, Paul Archey, baseball's senior vice president of International Business Operations, says South Africa is at a place in its development where Australia was 15 years ago. Australian baseball has improved mightily in recent years and now has a professional league. In fact, the land down under has produced an impressive 25 U.S. major leaguers.
Eyes on the Ball
More foreign-born players are flocking to the minor leagues thanks to the Creating Opportunities for Minor League Professionals, Entertainers and Teams Act, which freed baseball teams from having to compete with other employers for H2b visas for foreign workers. In 2007, the law was signed into law by President George W. Bush, a former owner of the Texas Rangers.
As baseball grows internationally, Africa is becoming a promising resource for major league teams. As for China, baseball's future is a bit more questionable, but MLB will likely keep its eye on the ball there as well. After all, 1 billion people make for a mighty deep bench.

REVIEW: The Deep by Rivers Solomon
Brent Lambert
Review by: Sean Dowie
The Deep is a novella that I can easily hold in one hand, yet feels like a megaton. It's laden with the weight of the past, the burden of memories, and the heaviness of emotional isolation. And that's just part of the weightiness of its journey. I haven't even mentioned the satisfying devastation of reading through the twisty character arcs and simply written, yet emotionally potent sentences. The book delivers gut-punch after gut-punch until you feel akin to seasick, deeply sympathizing with protagonist Yetu's hardships, and wondering how she can cope. The Deep is true to its name and plunges into the depths of the ocean and oft unspoken truths to find that answer.
Based on a narrative song by Clipping, which was inspired by an idea from techno group Drexciya, The Deep explores a world of water-dwellers called wajinru–creatures originating as babies of black, pregnant women who were thrown into the ocean during the transport of African slaves to America. These babies became mermaid-like creatures, creating their own community in the sea.
Some generations since their inception lives Yetu—a wajinru historian. Yetu's job is to single-handedly carry the history of the wajinrus' ancestors, a latticework of the past, both positive and negative. Every year, Yetu shares the past with the other wajinrus, granting them lingering inklings of the memories that they can carry until the next year, rather than full-forced images of trauma, adrenaline, and complexity that Yetu must carry throughout her waking life. Things have, at least at first glance, operated quite swimmingly for the wajinrus in the past, with a good symbiosis between historian and the other wajinrus. But Yetu doesn't have the mental constitution of past historians—she needs some sort of release from history's anxieties.
The Deep has an uncanny ability to condense in-depth description of a species' history, characters with unending facets, and dialogue that has one-hundred unsaid sentences burbling beneath the surface. The novella made me feel like I was at sea—giving me a ride with its turbulent waves, and unable to see what lies ahead, like looking at the bottom of the ocean, knowing unseen, mesmerizing creatures lie beneath.
Even the mid-section of the book, where Yetu is confined to a single, placid location is simmering with emotion. Romance blooms between two broken characters in a deliberate way that isn't a straight, fast line towards love. Like waves, there are crests and nadirs, but it was quite clear to me that these characters were a good match for each other—the reparation of their issues, whether it be a want of community or a want of relief lie quite clearly in each other.
The theme of the burdens of memory and history can be applied not just to the wajinrus in The Deep, but also to ongoing issues besetting humanity today. Issues of brutalities against the Black body in the past, and the ongoing issues of systemic racism currently plaguing our world is often sloughed off, both by the perpetrators who aren't personally affected by it, as well as those who are directly affected by it but choose to live as close to blissful ignorance as possible. It can be easier to go about our life with rose-colored glasses that blind us to any reminders that there's intense suffering in the past, and perhaps a tad more subtle, but equally painful suffering in the present. Having the burden of an entire society laid on a single person would crush them, no matter their vitality. But The Deep showcases that pain doesn't have to be shouldered in solitude.
Because even though the world is rotten, doesn't mean there are slits of freshness hidden away. As wrongheaded as the world is, both in past and present, there are many worthwhile things about it. By having people collectively hold the weight of injustices, they get to see the pockets of joy peeking out of the rot.
There's also the burden of isolation from those different than you. The Deep showcases a clear divide between humans and wajinrus, both geographically (one species lives in the ocean, the other on land), physically (one species look like mermaids, the other does not), and customs. And the wajinrus have a justification for the divide, even if most of them have just a faint, lingering memory of why: the creation of the wajinrus was brought about because of the cruelty of humanity who threw people they thought to be expendable into the sea. But while the storied past between the two species started out very rocky, Yetu's interaction with humans pans out better. She gets food, attention, and interpersonal relationships because of them. And while the rituals between the two species are like night and day, the novella does have an instance of a character crossing the divide between the species, joining their culture. The activities of the sea heavily contrast the ones of the land, but The Deep demonstrates that differences of cultures don't preclude someone from transitioning between them—there's a learning curve, but the impossibility of being welcomed in is an illusion. For all the book's probing of the real flaws of the human (or water-dweller) condition, The Deep offers a message of acceptance, both inside and outside your community.
I'm so happy that The Deep exists—it's such a gripping and profound novella. It moves at a ceaselessly entertaining pace, is highly readable, and tackles worthwhile issues in wholly original ways. The book has the power of a megaton, but whenever I sat down to read some more, I never felt burdened with disinterest or plodding prose. Pacey yet incisive, fun yet intelligent, gutting yet conclusively uplifting, Rivers Solomon has crafted a delightfully rich diet-confection in literary form. Let it wash over you—when you get to its optimistic end, you won't feel like drowning.

I assume this is because the Board will make a decision about the search soon after the candidates depart. The link for the surveys will be distributed later–I'll flag it here once I have it.
CVs of all candidates can be found here: http://chancellor.siu.edu/search/chancellor/index.php.
I would assume (and hope) that survey results will go directly to the Board, which has essentially taken over the role of the search committee. I would therefore urge you to attend these forums if you can, view them online if you cannot, and fill out the surveys. It is vital that the Board get informed feedback from faculty on campus, even during this awkward and hasty summer search.
Meanwhile, in Springfield signs of progress are not particularly evident as the regular legislative session stumbles toward its conclusion on May 30. The Senate has passed a tax increase bill, but by a party line vote that invites and could not override a veto from Rauner. The Springfield State Journal Register is doing its part, and suggesting readers contact their public officials, and even providing a template for a note. Not a bad idea. If you aren't sure just what legislative district you live in, you can find that information here. Let our representatives know that they need to act to save this university.

Trailer: The Competition


Another on track altercation involving Brad Keselowski has led to a post race, bench clearing brawl between Keselowski, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, and basically every crew. Gordon and Keselowski are bleeding and Jeff Gordon has called Keselowski "just a dipshit."
Keselowski maintains that they were "just racing" and he went for a gap tat didn't work, while Gordon, ummm, doesn't seem to feel the same way at all.
It appears that right after the race, Gordon came up to have some words with Keselowski, almost definitely about the on track antics. Things seem ok, but then Kevin Harvick pushes Keselowski from behind. That's when all hell breaks loose.
Gordon jumps in at Keselowski and the crowds, like a bunch of soccer hooligans, go nuts. It gets broken up, but Keselowski and Gordon definitely make contact. They're both bloody and bruised afterwards and look more like soccer hooligans than NASCAR racers. Insanity yet again.
Look for more penalties and sanctions before.

Final quest for getting Nat Pagle as a follower.
Note that this is not the final quest that you need to recieve Nat Pagle as a follower. The quest chain O verdadeiro pescador de Draenor comes directly after. You will need to fish up a "lunker" in 6 Draenor zones. The zones are listed in the quest.
I thought Nat hated fishing? Didn't he say so himself in Vanilla?
It appears you must have 700 effective fishing to see this quest, even though you can turn the previous quest in with less. I had to reequip my +100 rod, fly away from Nat and back before this quest showed up for me (630 base fishing at the time).
I think this quest made my character feel more outright stupid than any other quest I've ever done. First, you have to find Nat Pagle. OK, I can get back to Pandaria. I walk up to him and my dialog choice is something like: "There you are, Nat! I've been looking all over for you!"
Yeah, because I apparently forgot the three freaking months I spent coming here every day and doing Your STUPID daily quests, which actually rarely involved fishing. Yeah, I guess I'm a freaking moron because I forgot all that. What a surprise to find you here!
Then, you have to take a page of his journal as proof that you really found him, and go back to your garrison. When you turn it in, Nat himself is standing approximately five feet away.
"Wow, you must have really found Nat Pagle!"
Yeah, maybe you could like turn your head 45 degrees to the left and see the SOB standing right freaking next to you? Maybe that's a freaking clue that I found him? Literally, you couldn't take two freaking steps without walking into him. But yeah, I got a page from his stupid journal. I'm sure that couldn't be forged, because you must know Nat Pagle's handwriting like a freaking document examiner. Maybe you could take those two little steps and give it back to him so he's not missing a page?
Sorry, I'm having a cranky day.
.. they got the bad English hands down.
Yu dont need to have 700 to get this q done - quests just appear and disappear - I had 631 when quest pops.
Leve a folha do diário para provar a Rak'jin que você encontrou Nat Pagle.
Como é que você falou, bagre de lava? Nunca vi um negócio desses antes, nunca nem ouvi falar! Vou ter que pescar desse tal bagre também, afinal, a pesca é a paixão da minha vida! Se a região for boa que nem você está dizendo, não posso deixar a oportunidade passar. Leve esta página do meu diário como prova de que me encontrou e eu <o/a> encontrarei na sua Guarnição.

Q: Python for loop index, without enumerate Many of us know that, enumerate is being using in a situation you use the for loop and need to know the index. However, it has its downsides. According to my tests with the timeit module, just using enumerate makes the code 2x slower. Adding this a tuple assignment makes it slower up to 3x. These numbers may come as fast enough for any programmer, but people dealing with algorithms know that every bit of code you can optimize, is a huge advantage. Now to my question,
An example of this usage would be, the need of finding indexes of multiple elements in a list. Say that there is two elements we need to find. The first two solutions that occur to me is like so:
x, y = 0, 0
for ind, val in enumerate(lst):
    if x and y:
        break
    if val == "a":
        x = ind
    elif val == "b":
        y = ind

The solution above iterates the list, assign the values, than break if the two is found.
x = lst.index("a")
y = lst.index("b")

This is an other solution, which I didn't want to use because it appeared really naive. It iterates over the same list twice, to find two elements. The first solution, does this in a single iteration. So by complexity terms, even though we make extra assignments in the first solution, it should be faster than the second one in larger lists. But my assumption failed.
Here is the code I tested the performance: https://codeshare.io/XfvGA
The second solution was 2x to 10x faster than the first one, changing with the position of these two elements. There are several possibilities which this would occur.

*

*There is an optimization in index() method that I am unaware of.

*Lower level assignments being made in index() method. Possible use of C++ code.

*The conditions and extra assignments in the first solution, makes it slower than expected.

Even these reasons fall short of explaining the speed of iterating the list twice over iterating it once. Though languages have much difference in time while running code, iteration process itself is independant from the programming language, if you need to check a million elements, you still have to check a million elements (Could be exampled by map() being not much faster than using a loop to change values).
So though I need you to examine the cases I presented, in order to clarify what is being asked here, question can be put together like this. We know that Python's for loop is actually a while running in background (possibly in C ?). So this means, the index is being stored as it is incremented somewhere in the memory. If there was a way to access it, this would eliminate the cost of calling and unpacking enumerate. My question is:
Is there such a way exists ?, If not, could be made (why, or why not) ?
The sources I used for more information on the subject:
Python speed
Python objects time complexity
Performance tips for Python

A: I dont think that the enumerate is the problem, to prove this you can do:
x, y = 0, 0
for val in a:
    if x and y:
        break
    if val == "a":
        x = val
    elif val == "b":
        y = val

This doesnt do the same thing you wanted in the first place (you dont get the index) but if you messure it with timeit, you will find that the diffrence is not so significant, meaning that the enumerate is not the source of the problem ( in my case it was 0.185 to 0.155 when running your example, so it is faster but the second solution got 0.055 at my computer )
The reason that lst.index is faster is that it is implemented in C .
You can see it's source code here:
https://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Objects/listobject.c
the index function is called listindex in this file and is defined like
static PyObject *
listindex(PyListObject *self, PyObject *args)
( i couldnt find a way to add a link directly to the function )

A: You are trying to be un-Pythonic, which isn't going to end terribly well for you. If you really need to have that iterator count information available, there is a well-known and optimized way to do that: enumerate(). If you need to find an item in a list, there is a well-known and optimized way to do that: lst.index(). As DorElias showed above/below, enumerate is not the problem, it's that you're attempting to reinvent the wheel with the rest of your for loop. enumerate is going to be the best-supported (clearest, fastest, etc.) way to maintain an iteration count in every situation where an iteration count is actually the thing you need.

Finally, ergonomic comfort comes to ultra-compact strolling.
The Metro Stroller's plush, multi-zone padding and adjustable leg rest keep baby comfortable, while its smooth ride suspension and large back tires deliver full size handling in a compact package.
Finally, ergonomic comfort comes to ultra-compact strolling. So no matter where you need to go, there's nothing holding you back when you take the Metro Compact City Stroller.
Gone are the days of having to choose between comfort and compact convenience. As a portable, lightweight compact stroller, the Metro Stroller combines ergonomic comfort with a convenient compact size. Your child can kick back and relax into a deep slumber thanks to the most comfortable padded seat with side and lumbar support and an adjustable leg rest. As for the parent, your comfort matters, too. At only 14 pounds and requiring just one hand to fold, really, this compact stroller is comfortable to push and carry—you don't need to put your back into like with other strollers. We believe comfort, for babies and parents, should never be sacrificed when it comes to baby gear.
The Metro Stroller is an all-purpose compact stroller for travel offering modern convenience. It's designed to ease the load of your day-to-day adventures and family vacations while keeping your most precious load (your child) safe and comfortable.
City life requires lots of walking, making a stroller your most important piece of baby gear. But city life can also mean apartment and condo living—great views and proximity to stores and restaurants but not so much space. That's why you need our compact stroller. It will glide over those bumpy sidewalks, and it won't be a pain to get into public transportation, elevators, closets or up four flights of stairs. Easy to use and store in small spaces, the Metro Stroller means you won't have to move to the suburbs just because you had a baby (unless you want to). But that doesn't mean the Metro Stroller can't be used elsewhere. It can stroll you all over the country, from big cities to suburbs to small, rural towns.

Cheikh Ibrahima Niang, a professor of medical and social anthropology at the Cheikh Anta Diop University in Dakar, Senegal, has researched anthropological aspects of a wide range of health issues. In July 2014, WHO asked him to investigate community attitudes to Ebola virus disease. He led a team of anthropologists to Sierra Leone just as the outbreak exploded in the eastern part of that country. This is what he found.
"I knew this was a very big challenge but on arriving in Kailahun (in Eastern Sierra Leone), I found the situation was worse than I thought. Njala, the most Ebola-affected village, was a ghost town. Ebola had killed more than 40 of its residents, nearly a third of the village. Most of the remaining people had fled. Houses were closed, there were a lot of orphans and there was nothing to eat. No one wanted to bring them food, too scared of this unknown, deadly disease. It was very hard.
"Our job was to conduct a one-month study on the social aspects of Ebola virus disease. We knew that if we could better understand people's beliefs – about Ebola, about the response, about treatment centres, about safe burials – lives would be saved. We realized that communities needed to be more included in making decisions such as where to locate Ebola treatment centres.
"And most importantly, we sensed that people needed to be heard. Before you can create effective messages, you have to listen first. And even then, communities will translate medical messages into their own terms. You have to give them the knowledge that gives them power to make their own decisions.
So we did a lot of listening, without making any noise. Our approach was humble, human, discreet, focused on their concerns. No official cars, no flag waving, no uniforms. We did not make a show. In fact, WHO was the only organization that sat with villagers and listened to them for hours. And they were anxious to speak with us. Angry, frustrated, scared of this disease that was killing them and of these recommendations that clashed with their belief systems, they felt misunderstood and abandoned by the whole world.
"We learned many important things. For example, there were conceptual clashes around safe burials: in these communities, a dead person has rights and communities have certain obligations towards the deceased. If these rights are not respected, people lose credibility and respect in their communities. This is very important.
"Secondly, washing the dead bodies of loved ones is not only an act of caring, but a purification rite and metaphor. The body has to be clean so that the person is pure when he or she goes to heaven. The strings around the shroud, another metaphor: when the deceased unties these strings, his or her soul is freed and ascends. And the lightness of this ascending soul yet another metaphor; the deceased has released any anger and anxiety that was weighing him or her down.
"There were also some conceptual clashes around diagnostics and treatment. For example, when you give blood, when you give lab samples, these things express the person as a whole. In addition, they do not belong only to the individual, but also to the community. The body is collective and the community has some responsibility to the collective of the body. Community and group leaders in Kailahun insisted on confirming with their own eyes that there were no missing body parts before a dead person was buried.
"It became clear that resistance was a way people affirmed their position when their dignity felt threatened. Nobody wants to die from Ebola. When villagers said, "Ebola doesn't exist. Ebola is a poison that Westerners are sending us." You say "ok," and then you learn that they do not like the way they have been treated.
"Once heard and understood, communities felt reassured, violence diminished. And we were well received. For example, we went to Kenema the day after Dr Sheikh Umar Khan, died of Ebola. There were riots. Police arrived and even fired on a man, hurting him. We listened to people and helped them pull themselves together. We worked with the imams, helping them to calm people.
"And we went to the market and listened to the women demonstrating. Women are especially important, because they take what they learn from you and go and validate this information in their communities. These women did not want an Ebola treatment center next to the maternity center. "The treatment center is a centre of death, the maternity center is a center of life," they said. They were upset because nobody had consulted them when deciding the location of the treatment center.
"So we followed the outbreak, using the same listening approach in each village. As we ourselves understood more, we helped others understand what Ebola was and how to prevent it.
"What did we take away from this? We saw the importance of letting anthropologists approach the community first, with no sirens, no announcements, no personal protective equipment, as members of the community, not as visitors. We dress as they dress, we protect ourselves the same way. We saw the importance of having respect for the community. Some approaches we saw were too brutal. And we learned the importance of letting families communicate with their sick loved ones. We recommended this approach, even then. Let them communicate by phone, create a space where the family can come sit down and look at their loved one. Unfortunately, some of these approaches did not correspond with medical protocols at the time.
"Our job as anthropologists is to help understand what happens when a person is stigmatized, and to help these people strengthen their coping mechanisms. We see value in an approach where kinship relationships play an even greater role in healthcare and healthcare delivery than medical institutions, where human beings are remedies for human beings. For this reason, we are now working to support WHO's efforts to develop people-centered care."

Private Tom Kitchen
15th (Service) Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment ("Leeds Pals")
Died, 3rd May, 1917
Cemetery : Arras Memorial, Boulevard du General de Gaulle, Arras, France
Grave Reference or Panel Number : Bay 4, I.H.14
Son of William and Hannah Bella (Annabella) Kitchen of Wentworth Terrace, West End, Wetherby.
Tom was born at Wetherby on the 27th of May 1897 to parents, a Farm Labourer, and Hannah Bella Kitchen (nee Utley). Baptised at Saint James Parish Church on the 16th of June of that year, Tom was the second child born to the Kitchen/Utley family.
At the recording of the 1901 Census, William now described his occupation as that of a Horseman/Market Gardener, the family now comprising of three children, Bessie, aged 7 years, Tom aged 3 years, and Fred, recorded as being just 6 weeks old. (Authors note: Bessie was in fact one Bessie Utley, born in 1893 and baptised at Saint James. The father however is not recorded).
The 1911 Census now records the Kitchen family as residing at Number 8, Wentworth Terrace, a further child, Maurice, having been born in November 1903 and baptised as a Primitive Methodist. Aged 14 years, Tom and his two siblings, Fred and Maurice respectively, are recorded at this juncture as being at school, of Bessie, she is recorded as residing with her Aunt at Oxenhope, near Keighley and employed as Worsted Spinner.
Attestation & Enlistment
It is surmised that Tom was deemed to have enlisted at York in May 1916 however his actual attestation for military service may suggest on or about the 10th of December 1915 at Wetherby. Attesting under the Derby or Group Scheme, i.e. voluntary enlistment, after undergoing a rudimentary medical examination performed by Dr. James Arthur Hargreaves, the presiding Medical Officer, Physician and Surgeon of Wetherby, Tom was then placed on the Army Reserve and issued an Armlet to denote that he had enlisted. Mobilised and posted to the Regimental Depot located at York, he was then posted to a Reserve Battalion of the West Yorkshire Regiment and issued the serial number 29193. The terms of his enlistment were that of Short Service (For the Duration of the War, with the Colours and in the Army Reserve). It is of interest to note that amongst those attesting for service in this number sequence, there was one William Nettleton, aged 18 years and 6 months. A resident of Barleyfields Laundry, Wetherby, William would be allocated the serial number 29195. Shortly after his mobilisation however, he would be posted to the ranks of the 2/4th Lincolns and serve with various battalions of the Regiment until being captured and made a Prisoner of War whilst serving with the 1st Battalion in September 1918.
Posted To The Western Front
After a period of training in all military disciplines, Tom was despatched to France and would be initially posted to one of the many Infantry Base Depots (I.B.D's) where he would be processed and receive yet further training in all aspects of warfare. One may surmise that this initial service was conducted at the 33rd Infantry Base Depot located at Etaples, near Boulogne, before he joined his allocated battalion "in the field."
Posted to the 15th (Service) Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment ("Leeds Pals"), it is difficult to ascertain the date of his actual posting to the battalion with some degree of accuracy however it is certain that Tom was contained in a draft of 394 men that were received by the 15th West Yorkshire's in October 1916. Drafts recorded during the month in question in the Battalion War Diary are as follows:-
2nd October Two Drafts Numbering 114 & 56 men
14th October 76 men
Either joining the battalion whilst they were in the Givenchy Sector east of Bethune or on the 31st Divisions return to the Somme, Tom was subsequently posted to "C" Company. (Source: Cox & Co 1919. First published for private circulation by the aforementioned, this edition being published in 1988 by the London Stamp Exchange Ltd., in association with Toad Hall Medals, 5 Buckingham Street, London WC2).
15th (Service) Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment: A Brief Service History
The battalion was formed at Leeds in September 1914 as a direct consequence of Lord Kitchener's "First Call To Arms," an appeal for 100,000 men between the ages of 19 and 35 years to enlist under a service obligation of SHORT SERVICE (Three years with the Colours). With the first contingent of roughly 1200 men being raised by the 16th of September (Source: Yorkshire Evening Post dated the 16th of September 1914), the battalion would be placed under the command Lieutenant-Colonel John Walter Stead, a former Solicitor and Commanding Officer of the 'Leeds Rifles'. (Authors note: Exact figures as to the strength of the battalion as of the 16th of September 1914 are not known however number 15/1200 was issued on the 25th of January 1915 to one Henry Roland Jones).
A facility was needed to train the battalion and this was duly provided by the Leeds Corporation Waterworks Committee. The site chosen had been constructed to house 'Navvies' involved in the construction of a new reservoir at Leighton and although hutted accomodation was in short supply, the site was accessed by a light railway. More huts would be built by civilian contractors in due course but for the majority of the battalion, they would be housed under canvas until the camp was completed.
On the 23rd of September, a Fatigue Party numbering 105 men of the Leeds City Battalion departed Leeds bound for Colsterdale to prepare the camp. Under the command of Sergeant-Major Arthur James Yates accompanied by Quartermaster Sergeant Robert Alfred Tannam and Sergeant Evelyn Henry Lintott, they departed the North-Eastern Station on the 7.55 a.m. train "in high spirits, singing "It's a long way to Tipperary." (Source: Yorkshire Post dated the 24th of September 1914).
It was on the 25th of September that the main body of the "Pals" proceeded by train from the North-Eastern Railway Station to Colsterdale. With their send off being witnessed by thousands of people, the first train departed the station at 8.33 a.m. followed by a second at 8.45 a.m. (Source: Leeds Mercury dated the 26th of September). Upon arrival at Masham near Ripon, all of the mens baggage was loaded onto the light railway which served the camp. There then followed a swift 'route march' of over five or six miles to the camp which was reached shortly after noon whereupon a dinner of meat and potatoes was served almost within ten minutes of their arrival courtesy of the stalwart Alderman Charles Henry Wilson, Acting Quartermaster. (Authors note: Hon. Captain (Temporary) and Temporary Quartermaster, 24th September, 1914. London Gazette dated the 27th of October 1914). Before dinner was served however, Colonel Stead addressed the men 'reminding' them that "they were associated with the West Yorkshire Regiment which had a fine record and he thought that they would not need urging to uphold it." (Source: Yorkshire Evening Post dated the 25th of September). Settling down to their first night under canvas, the men allocated to "D" Company were more fortunate than the others as they were found accomodation in six huts that previously housed families of the navvies.
