Een ragebol – ook wel raagbol – is een huishoudelijk gereedschap bedoeld om spinrag of spinnenwebben te verwijderen. Het attribuut lijkt enigszins op een bezem, maar de haren staan in een kwart bolvorm op een houten blokje. Met deze vorm kan men beter in de hoeken van vertrekken komen. Ook de steel is langer dan de meeste bezems, zodat hogere plafonds eveneens bereikbaar zijn.

Ragebollen kunnen gemaakt zijn van hout met kokosvezel voor de hardere-, of dierenhaar voor de zachte exemplaren. Moderne ragebollen kunnen ook wel van kunstvezel en/of ringvormige borstels op een steel zijn. Bij de moderne varianten is er vaak een telescopische steel aanwezig. Deze is compacter bij het opbergen en kan vaak verder reiken dan de traditionele houten steel.

In bepaalde streken wordt de ragebol ook wel genoemd: kopstubber, halvemaan, (spinne)koppejager/koppevager of spinnejager/spinnevager.

Trivia
Een wilde, verwarde en wijd uitstaande bos hoofdhaar wordt ook wel een ragebol genoemd.

U.S. Education Secretary John King created a flurry of frustration and fear among homeschool advocates recently with comments viewed as ignorant at best or, at worst, hostile toward alternative education.
But homeschool advocates say students' performance proves homeschooling's success – homeschoolers perform better than average on standardized tests and in college.
"We're hopeful that the remarks are born out of ignorance, rather than out of antipathy toward us, but the silence is beginning to feel like, it's ill will rather than, he just doesn't know what he's talking about," Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) chairman Michael Farris told me.
Farris said he is personally reaching out to King's office in hopes of swaying him in favor of homeschooling.
King did give a nod to homeschooling's success, noting some families are "doing it incredibly well." He also acknowledged parents are free to choose homeschooling for their family.
Brian Ray, president of the National Home Education Research Institute, told me contrary to King's belief, homeschooled students have a vast array of curriculum and extracurricular activities available to them.
Even if state-run schools do provide more "options," they don't produce the same academic results as homeschooling.
Homeschooled students consistently score far higher on standardized tests than the average college-bound high school senior, and a University of St. Thomas study shows homeschoolers have higher college GPAs and are more likely to graduate than public school students, with a graduation rate of 58.6 percent for public school students and 66.7 percent for homeschoolers.
Meanwhile, just over one-third of public school eighth-graders can read at their grade level.
"Whatever the range of options is [for homeschooled students], they seem to be doing really well," Ray said.
King's remarks worry HSLDA, which opposed his nomination in March based on his firm support for Common Core State Standards.
"We believe his comments are paving the way for more government oversight to make sure that parents are being intentional," HSLDA said in a statement.
Farris is further concerned the anti-homeschooling sentiment will seep into the next administration, should Hillary Clinton win the election in November.
Clinton has been a staunch supporter of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, a treaty under which, should it be ratified in the United States, parents would have little to no authority over their child's education.

Kersia extends ESG commitment through sustainability-linked hedge for sustainability-linked leveraged loan
Paris, France, June 24, 2021
Kersia has furthered its commitment to enhancing its environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials by hedging the interest rate exposure of its existing sustainability-linked loan through a derivatives hedge. The price of the hedge is contingent upon the achievement of the same key performance indicators (KPIs) outlined at the time of the Company's acquisitiob by IK Investment Partners.
The acquisition of Kersia was financed through a sustainability-linked syndicated leveraged loan structure including revolving credit facility and term loan B tranches, in line with the Loan Market Association's sustainability-linked loan principles, the first of its type in France.
Natixis acted as sole sustainability coordinator for this transaction which integrated three KPIs for Kersia: implementing systems to collect and recycle customers' packaging, increasing the company's share of green products and expanding its employee shareholding scheme. The interest rate on the loan adjusts upwards or downwards based on Kersia's achievement of these three KPIs.
To demonstrate its continued commitment to ESG practices, Kersia has now implemented the same KPIs into a derivatives-based hedge, structured by BNP Paribas, to protect against an increase in the loan's underlying interest rate. This represents the first leveraged finance arrangement based on an integrated sustainability-linked loan / sustainability-linked derivatives structure in France.
The price paid by Kersia for the hedge will adjust as a function of the Company's achievement of the KPIs. Furthermore, any penalty paid by Kersia for non-achievement or partial achievement will be invested by the banks providing the hedge in projects with a positive sustainable impact.
Isabelle Demoment, CSR Director from Kersia said: "The sustainability-linked loan and now the sustainability-linked derivative reflect our strong commitment to achieve environmental, social and governance goals. We are pleased to align Finance and CSR projects to act for a positive impact."
Julien Duquenne, Co-Head of Green & Sustainable Hub EMEA, Corporate & Investment Banking at Natixis said: "The KPIs structured into the sustainability-linked loan, and now into the derivatives hedge, were carefully designed with Kersia to ensure a meaningful impact on the company's ESG profile. Kersia has once again demonstrated its intention to lead by example in enhancing the sustainability of its activities through an innovative and practical approach."
"In line with its Sustainable Finance policy, Kersia shows its commitment to achieve a three-fold performance objective with social, environmental and economic dimensions, across its financing instruments. This sustainability linked hedge coordination sets a major milestone that may encourage other corporates to look at this innovative solution" adds Delphine Queniart Global Head of Sustainable Finance & Solutions at BNP Paribas.

The C-Depth has been developed for electronic diver depth monitoring in lightweight diving operations rather than using a pneumatic diving control panel. The system is ideal to give the supervisor a surface read-out whilst air diving using tethered scuba diving, which utilises a rope or rope/comms line. The system can also be used as a bottom profiler.
The C-Depth comprises a surface display indicating water depth, a power and signal cable from the surface to the operator/diver, and a highly accurate pressure transmitter. Three depths can be monitored simultaneously in either feet or metres of seawater.
Various cable lengths are availble, and the compact transducer allows it to be easily diver mounted for depth monitoring or hand-held as a bottom profiling device.

Newcastle defender Rose reveals where he wants to end up
By Harry Sherlock
18:55 05/07/20 BST
Danny Rose has had something of a strange season.
Fresh from playing a key role in Tottenham Hotspur's run to the Champions League final – his nutmeg on Matthijs De Ligt in the semi-final against Ajax led to Lucas Moura's first goal and the start of an astonishing comeback – he did not enjoy the best start to the campaign.
Working under Mauricio Pochettino, he played in all bar one of the club's first 10 games, but then a suspension led to him being left out of the squad against Sheffield United, in the Argentine's final game in charge.
Jose Mourinho's appointment saw him play a further 100 minutes across three games and he was then shipped out on loan to Newcastle United.
Since joining Steve Bruce's side, he has been important, making six starts on the bounce prior to a benching against AFC Bournemouth.
He did not start Sunday's clash with West Ham United, either.
But, nevertheless, he has now confirmed that he would like to stay at Newcastle, and has essentially confirmed that his Spurs career is over.
Speaking in Sunday's matchday programme, as quoted by Chronicle Live, he said: "First and foremost, I'm playing for my future.
"I don't think I need a bigger motivation than that. I've settled in very well, I love the lads and members of staff, and the fans.
"I'm currently staying in a hotel and, honestly, you wouldn't believe the things that I have to say about how the hotel have treated me throughout all of this.
"The lengths that they've gone to, honestly – it's been very surreal how nice people have been. They've tried everything to make sure my stay has been as smooth as possible. For me, I'd love to play for Newcastle for longer than what's on my contract.
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that my days possibly are numbered at Spurs, and I'm playing for my future.
"There's no bigger motivation for me. It's probably the first time in my career where I've been in this situation – never have I been down to less than one year on my contract – so it's a new experience for me."
GIVEMESPORT'S Harry Sherlock says…
Spurs will surely welcome this.
Rose is clearly not a part of Mourinho's plans and he could be one of the first out the door in the summer window.
The question, though, lies in the numbers.
Will Newcastle be able to afford him?
His contract at Spurs expires at the end of next season but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is known as a remarkably tough negotiator. He will want to get the best deal possible.
Rose is valued at £14.4 million by Transfermarkt and it wouldn't be a surprise if Levy wanted to receive that in full.
Amid the chaos caused in the market by the COVID-19 pandemic, that may be too steep a hill for the Magpies to climb.
Lewandowski's record haul!
Greenwood's genius!
Ronaldo's weird Sarri chat!

Q: How to push the product data to data layer in REACT? I have multiple products on a page with an add to cart button next to each, my ultimate goal is to achieve a checkout page. First step is to push the product data to data layer. My data is coming from a Firebase database.
This is my reducer:
export const initialState = {
    basket: [],
};

const reducer = (state, action) => {
    console.log(action);
    switch (action.type) {
        case 'ADD_TO_BASKET':
            return {
                ...state,
                basket: [...state.basket, action.item],
            };
        default:
            return state;
    }
};

export default reducer;

This is the state provider:
import React, { createContext, useContext, useReducer } from "react";

export const StateContext = createContext();

export const StateProvider = ({ reducer, initialState, children }
) => (
    <StateContext.Provider value={useReducer(reducer, initialState)
    }
    >
        {children}
    </StateContext.Provider>
);

export const useStateValue = () => useContext(StateContext);

And this is where I need help to write the dispatch code, my current code is throwing errors in item:
import React, { MouseEventHandler } from "react";
import "./product.scss";
import placeholder from "./../../../../assets/images/productPlaceholder.jpg";
import { AdvertiseStoreProduct } from "../../../../models/AdvertiseStore/advertiseStore.model";
import { privateDecrypt } from "crypto";
import { useStateValue } from '../../../../StateProvider';
interface ProductProps {
  index: number;
  clicked: MouseEventHandler;
  product: AdvertiseStoreProduct;
}

const Product = (props: ProductProps) => {
  const { product, clicked, index } = props;

  const [state, dispatch] = useStateValue();

    const addToBasket = () => {
    //dispatch product to data layer
    dispatch({
      type: 'ADD_TO_BASKET',
      item: {
        product.id: product.id,
        product.name: product.name,
        product.price: product.price,
      },
    });
  };
  return (

{product.name}

 ₹ {product.price}

<button onClick={addToBasket}>Add to cart</button>

  );
};

export default Product;

A: I guess the way you are assigning object is wrong.
item: {
"keyName": value
}

or u want a dynamic key name
use
item: {
[variableName]:  value
}

dispatch({
type: 'ADD_TO_BASKET',
item: {
(wrongkey)  product.id: product.id,
product.name: product.name,
product.price: product.price,

});

A: item: {
        product.id: product.id,
        product.name: product.name,
        product.price: product.price,
      },

change this to below code

The mysterious antics at a home in Red Bank district, Rose Hall, St Elizabeth, allegedly by ghosts, have become a big talking point, however, the man who was initially alleged to be responsible is still angry and demanding compensation.
THE WEEKEND STAR understands that after being wrongfully fingered in destroying property and causing misery to a family's house, 46-year-old Everton Brooks is seeking answers and compensation for what he claims is the trauma and pressure faced during time spent in custody.
Brooks spent three days and four nights in police custody, which saw him entering two lockups, Junction and Black River, respectively.
Brooks said while he was detained, people entered his premises, which is close to the 'troubled' premises, and stole several items, including a 35-year-old axe given to him by his deceased father.
THE WEEKEND STAR gathered that the St Elizabeth police were forced to release Brooks from custody after the mysterious behaviour continued while he was detained.
but to release Brooks. "Based on the allegations, the accused was apprehended; however, the mysterious problems persisted and he was later released," a senior officer said.
THE WEEKEND STAR was also told by Brooks that since his release, he got a haircut and left the area to cool off from the unwanted attention.
Crowds of people from near and far have been gathering in the quiet community to witness recent reports that ghosts have been beating members of a family, stoning their home and causing mysterious fires.
Member of Parliament for South East St Elizabeth Richard Parchment visited the family and the house with a team who prayed for the family, and normality was believed to be restored until the eerie activities began again.
Poor man. I hope all is resolved soon for all of them.

However, when starting VS2013 it says (immediately!) to register because the 30 day trial has expired.
PS: It immediately brings the login screen asking to access my MS account to register.
( ! I'm NOT able to access Help --> register screen to start the register process)
When providing my account ID / PW it's not accepted! ... However ....
When logging-in via 'login.live.com' and giving the very same ID / PW info I can access my account without any problems!
PS:
- since I registered my previous VS on my old machine I have changed my MS account!
- I'm NOT able to access that OLD account anymore!
- I acknowledge that I can't reconstruct everything I did when changing my MS account ...
? is there any other procedure to register!?
It seems to me that MS is - concerning my VS express - still using my old info to register!


Life's dependency on carbon was so distinctive to aliens in Star Trek, they nicknamed humans "carbon units." With its four valences, carbon is able to form an almost infinite number of complex molecules based on chains (polymers) and geometric shapes. But does the presence of carbon in abundance explain the appearance of life? Evolutionists desire a unified, "bottom-up" story that derives complex life from particles exploding out of the big bang by undirected processes and natural law. Here's a look at stages in the grand story.
Whence carbon-rich planets? Once you have carbon, what happens to it? Much of it remains in stars, but supernovas can blast it and other heavy elements out into molecular clouds. As theory has it, these clouds condense and form planets (but see 05/21/2009, 06/09/2009, 08/21/2009). Rocky planets might have abundant carbon.
Science news outlets are asking if the Kepler spacecraft has found one. Space.com asked, "Is the Rocky Alien Planet Gliese 581d Really Habitable?" It's seven times bigger than earth, but appears to lie in the circumstellar habitable zone (see other habitable zone requirements in the 02/26/2011 commentary). Beyond that, nobody knows if it has the requirements for life, and detection of life is beyond current capabilities.
Guillermo Gonzalez, astrobiologist, intelligent design advocate and co-author of The Privileged Planet (see video version on YouTube), was asked about the likelihood of life on this world on ID the Future. He said that other factors, such as plate tectonics and the right atmosphere and temperature, will have to be evaluated.
Uncommon Descent noticed that Gonzalez, who predicted in his book that habitable planets would be rare, has been right in that prediction so far – but that didn't win him any awards in academia. After The Privileged Planet came out proposing that life was rare in the universe, he later lost his tenure battle at Iowa State due to the intolerance of some atheist professors for his views on intelligent design (05/22/2007 bullet 7, 11/08/2007, 12/16/2008).
An article on New Scientist agrees that worlds like ours are rare, and is worried about it. In "No place like home: Our lonesome solar system," Lee Billings quoted planet hunter Geoff Marcy saying, "Our system is a rarity, there's no longer a question about that. The only question that remains is, just how rare is it?" (More from March in the 02/23/2011 entry).
Whence carbon-based life? Is that end of the road – a planet with carbon and other heavy elements that just sits there? Obviously, evolutionary scientists would like to see those elements self-organize into living cells.
A story on Science Daily promised "important clues to how life originated from non-life and how modern cells came to exhibit complex behaviors." Unfortunately for tantalized readers, the researchers at Penn State did not bring carbon to life. They played with toy models of cells. They "generated simple, non-living model 'cells' with which they established that asymmetric division – the process by which a cell splits to become two distinct daughter cells – is possible even in the absence of complex cellular components, such as genes." Whatever this oversimplified model has to do with the origin of life is anyone's guess.
One researcher claimed, "We observed that even model cells can divide in a structured way, which implies a kind of intrinsic order." Whether that order was intrinsic or was inserted by the investigators into the system, since they tweaked variables in their model to get the outcomes they desired, is a good follow-up question. They modeled various carbon-based molecules such as amino acids and lipids to get their toy cells to divide without genetic control. It was left unstated if real molecules would do such things. Real cells divide with a host of complex machines, and require accurate copying of millions of base pairs of DNA.
They saw their work as just a piece of a puzzle: "Scientists have simulated early-Earth conditions in laboratories and have demonstrated that many amino acids – the biochemical constituents of proteins – can form through natural chemical reactions," Christine Keating [Penn State] said. We hope our research helps to fill in another part of the puzzle: how chemical and spatial organization may have contributed to the success of early life forms." Taxpayers can thank the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health for funding these imaginary scenarios.
Palmer's BBC story included a curious quote by Ford Doolittle [Dalhousie University] about this "new evolutionary pathway that didn't exist before." Doolittle commented about what he perceived as useless complexity in real life: "Darwinists are a little bit like the pre-Darwinists before them, who would have marveled at the perfection of God's creation." Doolittle disagrees with Lynch about the repair of deleterious proteins; instead, he imagines cells with "presuppression" mechanisms that would protect them from mistakes. "But we both agree that much of complexity does not have an adaptive explanation." They also agree that it does not have a design explanation, but that goes without saying; their idea presents a random explanation: stuff happens.
That's a new label for creationists: "pre-Darwinists". Will they like it?

Apartment floor near major campus collapses | Doane Law Office, LLC.
A recent college party following a football game left 30 people, all but one of the students, with injuries that required a trip to the hospital. The students suffered these injuries after the floor of the apartment clubhouse where they were dancing suddenly gave way, sending the revelers into the basement several feet below them.
While all of the victims are expected to survive, six remained hospitalized for several days recovering from their injuries.
Eyewitnesses to the event said that people were basically jumping and doing dance moves on the floor when it collapsed. One person said that he felt that the floor was somewhat weak and springy a few moments before the collapse, but he also acknowledged no one noticed enough to stop dancing.
According to reports, the clubhouse was only designed to hold 135 people, and police were still investigating how many people were actually on the floor. The owner of the apartment complex, which also owns other properties located near other universities, indicated that it typically does not allow parties of larger than 50. It may decide not to allow parties at all for the time being.
The clubhouse was constructed about 15 years ago and, according to reports, passed inspection under the building codes that were law at the time.
Although this event happened in another part of the country, it raises some important concerns for residents of the Jeffersonville area and the rest of the Indiana side of Louisville. The important thing to remember is that apartment landlords have obligations to keep their tenants and other guests reasonably safe, particularly with respect to clubhouses and other common areas. When they fail to do so, they may be responsible to compensate accident victims as part of a premises liability case.

Weekend (Re)Visitor: Gentlemen Broncos
In the early days of AMV, I wrote briefly about the limitations of urban(e) critics who were trying to review Napoleon Dynamite and failing to get their minds around what Jared and Jerusha Hess were doing. I never reported back on that, but after watching the film several years later, I discovered that, yes, I was right to point out those limitations. And yet I didn't seem to learn from that vindication and develop faith in my co-religionists because when Gentlemen Broncos ( Amazon ) was absolutely savaged by the critics I believed them.
Then earlier this year I ran across (and mentioned in a links roundup post) this brief Richard Brody review of the film for The New Yorker. Here was an urban(e) critic who made me rethink my earlier impressions — enough so that last week my wife and I watched Gentlemen Broncos. Brody writes, "…. it's a work of visionary inspiration that, like many outrageous Hollywood comedies of the classic era (such as those of Frank Tashlin), tackles remarkably serious matters."
It turns out that he's right. What I'm less sure about is where he tries to give a Mormon gloss on the film: "In his jejune yet highly moral inspiration, Benjamin is the prophet of a pop-infused Gospel, an updated Book of Mormon, that speaks to a new generation of young people whose coarsened sensibility is paradoxically attuned to Biblical explicitness and ferocity."
I don't think that that's exactly what this film is about, but it's a nice try, and perhaps there's something to the coarsened sensibility thing. I hope to give a full accounting over at LDS Cinema Online, but for this revisit let me throw this out there: with Gentlemen Broncos, the Hesses package issues of authenticity, fandom, selling out, provincialism and dreams of stardom in a way that both celebrates and makes fun of and keenly dissects the myths of Hollywood and Big Publishing. In order to appreciate this movie you have to a) really feel the sweetness — not just see that it is there — and b) focus in on the relationship between the protagonist Benjamin and his mom. If Napoleon Dynamite was an awesome takedown of hipsterism and faux-quirkiness in indie/mainstream indie film (and I think it was); Gentlemen Broncos is a masterful takedown of both the haughtiness of artists who have no ideas left and make worshipers of their fans and the pretensions and faux-celebrations of fan fiction. And it actually succeeds. There's more there than the critics are seeing because they refuse to buy in to the possibility of the sweetness and authenticity and affection in the Hesses writing/filmmaking. They don't understand that we are meant to love Saltair even though we also laugh at it, and that it's precisely that double feeling (instead of complete disdain) that gives lie to the way Hollywood usually treats religion, small town America, family relationships and the American dream.
Anyone else actually seen this film?

Dallas Robbins says:
haven't seen it yet, but you have surely convinced me i need to see it this very moment.
Adam K. K. Figueira says:
Ditto to what Dallas said.
I'm excited to see your full shakedown.
William Morris says:
It's definitely not going to be to most people's taste — it's one quirky, scatalogical, trippy ride. But I don't think it can be dismissed quite so easily critically as so many of the reviewers have.
Th. says:
I'm watching the commentary tonight. I'm glad I didn't write a review the moment I first watched it because my only solid thought was how very very weird it was (and I watch a lot of weird stuff from Hertzfeldt on down). On rewatching, I have begun to love it. It is a worthy successor to all the love I've given Napoleon over the years.

Q: Can't "Add New Item..." on project using Visual C++ 2010 When I create an empty console application the menu "Projects" disappears.

(source: sadpanda.us)
What am I supposed to do?

A: You could try to go to View and click on Solution Explorer. This should display the Solution Menu.
[Edit: Are you sure you are not trying to load a C++ project]

A: I have this same problem.  If you go to File > new > File....  Then choose Visual C ++ on the left and then choose a C++ file you get a new item.
Did that work?

We realize you may have a few questions, like what size dumpster do I need or how much is this going to cost. Just give us a call and one of our specialists in Cordell, Oklahoma will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
If your looking to rent a roll off container in Cordell, don't accept slow responding companies or late deliveries. For over 15 year's we have delivered our dumpsters on-time, when and where our customers need them. Give us a call today to experience why we're the #1 affordable dumpster rental company nationwide.
With all of the various dumpster options and rental businesses out there looking for your business it can be overwhelming deciding on the selection that will best suite your needs. Renting a dumpster in Cordell might seem like a simple task, but often times people underestimate the size or weight capacities that they're going to need to get the job done. It's not always about size options when choosing a dumpster to rent, but also the types of trash you're going to be disposing of and if they will result in additional costs. Throughout this document we'll review some of the options and the most common concerns people have when wanting to rent the best dumpster for their job.
It's important to consider think about your budget and how much you're willing to spend when renting a dumpster to remove your unwanted waste. You'll want to try and estimate the fuel charges, materials you're disposing of and any permits you may need to correctly get rid of your garbage. You should carefully consider the materials you'll be disposing of in Cordell first, so that you don't run into unforeseen expenses down the road.
Although dumpster sizes are not standardized, the most common options will be 10, 20, 30 or 40 cubic yards. Most of the time if you're just cleaning out a garage or shed you can use a 20 cubic yard dumpster. If you're remodeling a house or doing a big job like replacing concrete in Cordell, then you'll want to look for a 40 cubic yard dumpster. Try to overestimate your dumpster size a bit, since going over weight restrictions could result in you being charged overage fees.
Before putting down the money to rent a dumpster, be sure to ask the company about any weight restrictions. Your dumpster can fill up very quickly depending on the waste you're throwing in there. Because of this, it's important to keep an eye on the weight of the things you're throwing away, since no one wants to incur extra fees due to exceeding weight capacities. It's not just weight fees to be aware of, but also any added environmental charges that you could have to pay depending on the regulations in Cordell.
Considering the types of items you'll be putting in the dumpster is also an important step to take before you make a choice on which one to rent. If you're only disposing of some large furniture or a few big items, then you could even just get a junk removal service, as that may make more sense and save money. Sometimes you might just need to get rid of junk or debris in your garage, and in that case a 10 cubic yard dumpster could be ideal for that job. You'll want to make sure you inquire as to what types of waste might be prohibited by your dumpster rental company prior to making a decision. Items like big appliances, oil cans, antifreeze batters and grease waste are often prohibited by dumpster rental companies in Cordell. It's very important to ask these kinds questions when speaking with your rental company.
There are several different factors to take into account when determing the cost of renting a dumpster. Thankfully, most rental companies will give you an estimate at no cost, but you should still know how it is arrived at. Regardless of the weight in your dumpster, the bigger it is the more it will cost. The reason for this is because bigger dumpsters require a higher dumping fee at the landfill, higher transportation costs and more effort to manage.
Going with a local dumpster rental company in Cordell will probably be a good. Local companies typically have an established dumping agreement with waste management facilities, which will save you time and paperwork. They'll also be aware of local regulations, which can streamline the entire disposal job. It's a good idea to provide as many details as possible to the business you're renting from, that way they can make sure you have the best dumpster to suit your needs.

First Tesla car-sharing operation coming to UAE
The Middle East car-sharing company ekar, which was founded in the United Arab Emirates, has announced the formation of a new partnership with Masdar.
Masdar, one of the world's leading renewable energy firms, is to join with ekar to bring car sharing with electric vehicles to the region.
This is beginning with the introduction to its fleet of as many as five Tesla (S and X) models.
The new vehicles are already available to hire via the Abu Dhabi branch of Masdar City.
Masdar's executive director of sustainable real estate Yousef Baselaib says that Masdar City was responsible for the installation of the Middle East's first rapid charging station.
Masdar recognises the economic and environmental value of car sharing to the community, and the scalable nature of the ekar platform means that more electric vehicles are likely to be introduced to the fleet at a later date, Baselaib adds.
The announcement followed a further demonstration of Masdar's larger commitment to the advancement of sustainable commercial mobility.
The company has invested £35m in the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund, which is intended to increase the number of rapid charging points in the UK.
The new partnership between ekar and Masdar is yet another example of the latter's investment in the promotion of low-carbon transport solutions in the UAE.
The launch of the new service is an expansion of the company's existing sustainable mobility solutions portfolio, which also includes the NAVYA Autonom Shuttle and the Personal Rapid Transit system, according to Baselaib.
Baselaib claims that it is also a demonstration of the way that multiple transport solutions can be integrated into cities in order to have a sustainable method of meeting the needs of all residents, visitors and tenants.
Dedicated ekar app users can now rent one of the new electric vehicle models by the minute, allowing them to make full use of the benefits offered by driving electric cars without the need to actually purchase one.
After choosing the Tesla model they wish to rent, users can then pick up the car from one of the charging stations in Masdar City, and then return it to their closest station for the convenience of the next user.
The Middle East CEO of ekar, Vilhelm Hedberg, says that the company is honoured to have been chosen as Masdar's car-share partner in the UAE.
Hedberg says that ekar wants 5% of its fleet to be electric vehicles by next year, and for it to be 100% electric by 2025 and completely autonomous by 2030.
This goal can only be achieved by aligning with innovative companies such as Masdar, a pioneer for clean energy all over the world and one that shows how the sustainability agenda can be delivered by the business community, according to Hedberg.
Anyone who drives an electric car in the UAE is still under a legal obligation to take out car insurance before they do so.
Car insurance helps protect all road users from the financial consequences of accidents and theft.

Superman Is Jewish? How Comic Book Superheroes Came to Serve Truth, Justice, and the Jewish-American Way

uperman was born on a hot, restless night in Cleveland, Ohio. It's 1933 and Jerry Siegel, barely out of high school, has already been trying for years to make it as a science fiction writer, or a comic strip writer, or a writer of crime fiction, or a pulp publisher, or anything creative that could take him away from small-time retail. Dazed, he wakes up in the middle of the night with an idea. He goes to his desk and starts writing. But he's too tired, and it's too hot, and he goes back to bed . . . only to be compelled back to the desk! In two-hour cycles he wakes, writes, and goes back to his fitful sleep. There's something about this idea that won't let him go. There's also something about the night itself that clarifies the jumble of images in his mind.
Clouds drifted past the moon. Up there was wind. If only I could fly. If only . . . and SUPERMAN was conceived, not in his entirety, but little by little . . .
Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, seated, in their studio, ca. 1942. (Personal collection of Brad Ricca.).
The next morning he runs to the home of Joe Shuster, his best friend and frequent collaborator. Siegel knows that the idea should be a comic, because seeing the Superman would be essential to the experience. Despite their many previous failures, Shuster believes in his friend. They start working immediately.
It's a good story, though it is almost certainly made up. In another version, it's 1934. Siegel had diligently worked on his Superman idea all day and awoke only to fill in the gaps. Then there is the nature of the story itself, the too-perfect elements. True, Saul Bellow once claimed that "You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write," but few writers and artists actually compose this way, least of all Jerry Siegel. In Super Boys: The Amazing Adventures of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster—The Creators of Superman, Brad Ricca nicely describes Siegel's story as "a magical tale about the creative process . . . After all of the failures, the one idea comes, as if from heaven, and saves him." The truth of Siegel's creative process is the failures, the false starts and missteps that nevertheless contained something worthwhile, interesting, maybe even new.
The actual creative breakthrough may have happened the year before, when Siegel and Shuster collaborated on an illustrated short story called "The Reign of the Super-Man." On the surface, there's little resemblance between "Reign" and the later Superman. The Super-Man of the early story was Bill Dunn, a Depression-era tramp who gained the ability to telepathically control others after a mad scientist secretly fed him an experimental serum. This Super-Man is a super villain! He's used his mental powers to bring the world to the brink of war. But suddenly he gets a glimpse of a future when he won't be able to replicate the serum and is once again destitute. The Super-Man repents in somewhat Jewish tones: "I see, now, how wrong I was. If I had worked for the good of humanity, my name would have gone down in history with a blessing—instead of a curse."
Ricca remarks that the story contains "every single element of the superhero character that was beginning to wake," but this understates what "Reign" actually captures. The abrupt shift in the characterization of the Super-Man marks Siegel's real creative insight: Depression America needed a hero. Over the years, Superman has transformed into a powerful god who fights other godlike beings. In the new hit movie Man of Steel, he saves humanity from the apocalyptic Kryptonian "World Engine." But the earliest Superman of Siegel and Shuster's Action Comics was a social reformer: He used his super-strength to strong-arm a corrupt mine owner into investing in better safeguards and to fight the scourge of reckless driving ("The auto accident death rate of this community is one that should shame us all!" Superman correctly muses in Action #12). This was a Superman working for the good of humanity.
Yet "Reign of the Super-Man" only partially explains Superman's origins. Siegel and Shuster's biographers, Superman's biographers, and comics historians are all obsessed with answering the question, "Where did the idea of a super-powered man come from?" Superman is, after all, not only the exemplary superhero, he is the first of his kind, the one whose success spawned one of the richest, most popular, most enduring, and most malleable genres in American cultural history. X-Men, The Avengers, Batman, the TV shows, the movies, the comics—none would have existed without Siegel and Shuster's Superman.
So our biographers and historians frantically hunt for explanations. Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter was a human who gained incredible jumping abilities in the lower-gravity environment of Mars. Is Superman, an alien, John Carter in reverse? Did the idea for Superman's secret identity come from Lamont Cranston/The Shadow? Did the adventure plots come from Douglas Fairbanks movies? Did the idea for a man with super strength come from Philip Wylie's novel Gladiator? From bodybuilding magazines like Physical Culture? From the Jewish strongman Siegmund Breitbart, who was called "Hercules" and "Superman" by the Cleveland papers? Or was Joe Shuster inspired by a different Jewish strongman, Joseph Greenstein, The Mighty Atom? It was said that Greenstein was shot between the eyes in Galveston, Texas in 1914, only for the bullet to flatten on his forehead and drop to the floor. Or maybe Superman is simply Jerry Siegel's response to a childhood trauma.
Others have wondered if Superman can be explained by Siegel and Shuster's Judaism. Did the idea for super-strength come from the story of Samson? Superman did threaten to tear down the pillars supporting a building in order to force a peace settlement. "A guy named Samson once had the same idea!" (Superman #2) Was super-strength a response to the insecurity that Siegel and Shuster felt as Jews in America? Or, as Harry Brod argues in Superman Is Jewish? How Comic Book Superheroes Came to Serve Truth, Justice, and the Jewish-American Way, is the combination of Superman's super-strength and Clark's weakness a commentary on how Jewish men were perceived? Does the way his parents saved the future savior from destruction by sending him to Earth in a small rocket make him like Moses? Others have suggested that there is something fundamentally Jewish about Kryptonite. Only the old-world past can haunt and wound the assimilated Jew.
The questions and answers simultaneously elevate and deflate Siegel and Shuster, as if the best that they could do was distill and bottle something that was already in the air. But the intensity of the questioning also shows the enduring fascination of Siegel and Shuster's creation. It is, apparently, almost impossible to believe that Superman came through the constant writing and rewriting, drafting and redrafting, of two Jewish teenagers in Cleveland.

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster have typically Jewish American origin stories. Siegel was the youngest child of immigrants from Lithuania. His father, Michel (pronounced "Mitchell," though he also went by Michael and Mike), owned a clothing store on Central Avenue, earning enough money to move the family to a comfortable home in Glenville, a Jewish neighborhood on the east side of Cleveland. Siegel read the comics, crime fiction, adventure, and proto-science fiction magazines such as Astounding Stories. He sent letters to the editor and tried writing his own stories. All were terrible. Shuster's parents were also immigrants. His father, once a tailor, worked as an elevator operator at Mount Sinai Hospital. The family moved to Glenville in 1929, eventually living in a small apartment. Joe "read" the newspaper comics with his father even before he could read words. He began drawing at the age of four and began to teach himself illustration by tracing newspaper cartoons. His family encouraged his talent, and he won several contests.
Ricca's Super Boys is at its best during Siegel and Shuster's youth. Ricca captures the excitement of what it means for a nerdy outsider to finally meet someone similar. Ricca reads Siegel and Shuster's earliest work in their high school newspaper, The Torch, with unusual precision and care in order to show that they were always autobiographical artists. Siegel unsubtly translated his unrequited crush on a girl named Miriam into melancholy poems and crude detective stories. It was a mode of writing he continued in Superman: Lois Lane was taken from Lois Amster, a girl Siegel admired from afar. Shuster's sense of physical inadequacy led to an obsession with bodybuilding and strongmen. Moreover, his biggest handicap, poor eyesight, was the one Superman used to project weakness as Clark Kent: those nerdy glasses.
The most important biographical detail that inspired Superman was the death of Michel Siegel in 1932 after three men robbed his clothing store. There were reports that Siegel was shot, but it was later determined that he died of a heart attack caused by the shock. Ricca is not the first to connect Superman, the world's ultimate crime-fighter and a man impervious to bullets, to this event. It was prominently detailed in Gerard Jones' Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters and the Birth of the Comic Book, the best book on the creation of the comic book industry.
Ricca is unique, however, in how aggressively he seizes on this idea. Ricca finds echoes of Michel Siegel's death throughout individual issues of Superman. In Superman #2 (1939), Superman confronts a criminal who dies suddenly of a heart attack. Superman stops to think, "Dead . . . Heart-failure! The excitement was too much for him!" To Ricca, this suggests "Siegel's possible anger at his father for not being able to handle the 'excitement' of the robbery that kills him." Later, Ricca argues that Superman's father's decision to send Kal-El into space rather than save himself is "perhaps a carefully constructed mythology through which the young Jerry can attempt to understand his father's death." While neither reading is entirely compelling (and the second is less so than the first), the underlying premise is sound. Siegel thought through comic books. Though he doesn't quite say it, Ricca is really arguing that comic book creators draw no less from their own lives than other artists. We resist this conclusion because they write about impossibly proportioned men and women in spandex, but we shouldn't.
Indeed, it is impossible to ignore the way that Siegel and Shuster's frustrations with their publisher increasingly found their way into the comics. It was years from the time Siegel and Shuster created Superman until Superman's first appearance in Action Comics #1 (1938). They extensively revised and resubmitted their Superman proposal while also developing other characters. They created Dr. Occult, Radio Squad, and Federal Men for New Fun Comics, and Slam Bradley, a tough private eye from Cleveland, for Detective Comics. Eventually, National Publications decided to publish Superman on the condition that Siegel and Shuster sold the character. For $130, Superman became National's exclusive property. Siegel and Shuster stood to earn a percentage from later deals, such as newspaper syndication rights, but as Jones points out in Men of Tomorrow, the two never considered the creativity of modern corporate accounting.
In the lead story of Action Comics #6 (1938), "The Man Who Sold Superman," Clark Kent meets Nick Williams, a man posing as Superman's "personal manager." Williams has monetized Superman: There is a Superman radio show, Superman gasoline, a Superman automobile. A nightclub siren belts the smash hit "You're a Superman!" ("You can make my heart leap / Ten thousand feet!") Lois sees through the scheme, and Superman stops Williams and the crook he's hired to pretend to be Superman.
For years Siegel, Shuster, and the assistants Shuster hired to keep up with demand wrote and illustrated Superman for National. They earned a higher page rate than other freelancers, and for a time they grew rich from the Superman newspaper strip. But they never earned as much as they felt they deserved, and they received less over time. The two eventually sued National for the rights to Superman and Superboy. A court ruled that National owned Superman but not Superboy. They settled for close to $100,000 in 1948; the money almost immediately disappeared to lawyers, back taxes, and Siegel's divorce settlement.
The ups and downs of the rest of Siegel and Shuster's careers make for a largely depressing story: their failed comics; their legal efforts to regain their copyright; the mass public relations movement that belatedly led to Siegel and Shuster's official recognition as the creators of Superman and an annuity from Time Warner, the current rights holder; and the continued legal struggle on behalf of Siegel and Shuster's heirs. But it is worth highlighting two later creative achievements.
Siegel began writing Superman again in the 1950s and 1960s. Working with a number of artists, he helped create the comic's new light-hearted, kid-centric tone and wrote some of his best Superman stories. He was even given the chance to kill Superman in 1961's Superman #149. In the "imaginary" story (meaning, it never "happened"), Lex Luthor reforms and creates a cure for cancer. Superman testifies that Luthor should be released from prison for his work on behalf of man (shades of "Reign of the Super-Man"), and the two become friends. But it is all a charade, an elaborate scheme to catch Superman off guard! Luther traps Superman and bombards him with Kryptonite until he dies. Though it was an imaginary story, Siegel got the rare opportunity to bring a serial character full circle. He was given the right to choose what character trait would lead to Superman's demise: his kindness or his belief in the good of humanity. (By contrast, when DC Comics decided to kill Superman in 1992 they had him lose a fight—the villain Doomsday was stronger than he was.)
Shuster's late-aesthetic triumph is more dubious. Broke in the mid-1950s, he ended up illustrating fetish comics, drawing pictures of men and women in elaborate bondage poses, in various stages of undress. The subject may be coarse, but the art is remarkable. There is a care and surety to the line. It is unquestionably his best work in at least a decade. Even more remarkable is who he chose to draw. His men look like Clark Kent and Jimmy Olsen; his women like Lois Lane and Lana Lang. Other than the need for money, we may never know why Shuster illustrated fetish magazines. But the explanation, offered by Craig Yoe in the sumptuously produced Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman's Co-Creator Joe Shuster, that this was his retribution for mistreatment by National Publications has a certain poetic justice that makes me hope it's true.

But, to return to Harry Brod's question by way of Ricca, if Siegel and Shuster were autobiographical writers, does that make Superman Jewish? Arguments for a Semitic Superman are increasingly widespread. You can find them in magazine articles, in coffee table books, in Superman biographies, and in scholarly discussions of American popular culture. Yet while Superman unquestionably has Jewish elements, to argue that Superman is essentially Jewish is to misunderstand the nature of comic book narrative.
Comics are exciting, in part, because they are always moving. Comics embrace reinvention. They even birthed the beautiful term "retroactive continuity" (or "retcon") to describe and excuse creators' tendencies to freely change aspects of a character's past. We can read a truly Jewish take on Superman and a completely Christological one and an atheistic sci-fi one—and sometimes find them all in the same story.
The arguments for Superman's Jewish identity start with his Kryptonian name, Kal-El. Brod translates this as "all is God" or "all for God," while others more convincingly read it as "voice of God." The destruction of Krypton is sometimes alleged to have something to do with the kabbalistic creation myth of the breaking of the cosmic vessels, and Superman's periodic homesickness a kind of survivor's guilt. Others emphasize Superman as an Americanization narrative: The immigrant comes to America and is accepted, even becomes the symbol for America. Others see Superman's progressive, New Deal politics as distinctively Jewish. He was a paragon of social justice, of tzedek. To others, the clearest sign that Superman is Jewish is his secret identity, Clark Kent, the weakling, the nebbish (or the man with a secret identity trying to pass as a mild-mannered WASP). Harry Brod, who once edited an anthology subtitled Explorations in Jewish Masculinity, embellishes this idea. The genius of Superman is the embodiment of the weak Jew and strong Gentile in one character:
Clark's Jewish-seeming nerdiness and Superman's non-Jewish-seeming hypermasculinity are two sides of the same coin, the accentuated Jewish male stereotype and its exaggerated stereotypical counterpart.
Many of these data points are compelling in isolation but less so in context. Clark Kent's weakness is only "Jewish" when read a certain way. Jules Feiffer famously described Clark Kent as "Superman's opinion of the rest of us." He's not a commentary on strength and weakness or Jew versus Gentile; he's a hook for powerless Clark Kentish readers who wish they could reveal superpowers of their own. Likewise, few of the Jewish elements occur simultaneously. Superman was a New Deal Democrat in the late thirties, a time when Krypton was little more than a name. Kryptonite, the old world as weapon, didn't appear in the comics until 1949.
Krypton, however, was a major part of Siegel's second run on Superman. In Siegel's "Superman's Return to Krypton" in Superman #141 (1960), Superman is catapulted back in time to before Krypton exploded. He lives a life there, falling in love with a beautiful actress and growing close to his birth parents. He is ultimately forced to watch the destruction of his home world, incapable of doing anything to solve the crisis. It's a poignant story, one that nicely illustrates that great Superman stories are about human weakness and failings as well as strength and possibilities. It can also reasonably be interpreted as a Jewish, post-Holocaust story: The old world is suddenly more meaningful to the American Jew now that it has been destroyed. But it can also be interpreted as an allegory for Siegel's return to National and Superman. It's exciting, but he also has no control over the character he created. He is a bystander to its fate.
Then there are the "other" Supermen. Bryan Singer's 2006 reboot of the movie franchise, Superman Returns, gave us a second-coming story. It had a superhero who suffered for the world, and it depicted his flight as a kind of sacred weightlessness, almost an emanation of grace. By contrast, this summer's Man of Steel crudely inserted explicit Christian references into the story: Superman is thirty-three years old, he seeks advice from a priest in front of a stained-glass window, and later falls through the heavens towards Earth in a crucifixion pose. Yet the movie also emphasized the space saga elements of the narrative. Superman is strong because he is an alien, and his flight is filmed as an explosion of kinetic energy, of the possibilities of the body. We are back to the guy who leaps tall buildings in a single bound. The movie gives us countercurrents of the sci-fi Superman and the Christian Superman. This nuance, however, was unfortunately blunted by the way the marketing emphasized Christian overtones. The studio went so far as to create a website where pastors could find sermon notes connecting Superman to Jesus.
Brod likely sees Man of Steel as an example of the continued "de-Jewification" of Superman, of the erasure of Superman's "mischievous streak" and his transformation into a very strong saint. It's an argument to which I'm sympathetic, but only a little. Just two years ago, writer Grant Morrison brought back Superman's mischievousness and social consciousness in the relaunched Action Comics. Superman went after corrupt businessmen with a fervor not seen since the earliest issues of Siegel's Action Comics version. If anything, Morrison's secular take reminds us what a mistake it is to call Superman's social consciousness "Jewish." Perhaps the best way to think about the Superman story, whatever the medium, is as an unending symphony. Character traits are like musical themes waiting for variations. They are amplified or muted depending on the needs of a specific time signature.
In 1998, in a three-part story, two children of the Warsaw ghetto (who strongly resemble Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster) create stories of an "angel" in a cape and a costume with a triangular shield who comes to save them. Superman arrives, provoking the Nazi soldiers to complain to their superiors about the "Golem" they have to fight. In a sense, this is just an incorporation of the "Superman is Jewish" interpretation written into the comic itself. On the other hand, it's completely natural. Superman is always waiting to be transformed. He is never essentially anything.
But in the beginning, it was simple. As Brad Ricca's Super Boys reminds us, Superman was created by two Jewish teenagers who dreamed of an artistic life and who had the rare ability to continue working on an idea until it was developed, then to continue working on it until it became something larger, more poignant, more resonant, more everything. That was their superpower.

1984: "'You asked me once,' said O'Brien, 'what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.' The door opened again. A guard came in, carrying something made of wire, a box or basket of some kind. He set it down on the further table. Because of the position in which O'Brien was standing. Winston could not see what the thing was. 'The worst thing in the world,' said O'Brien, 'varies from individual to individual. It may be burial alive, or death by fire, or by drowning, or by impalement, or fifty other deaths. There are cases where it is some quite trivial thing, not even fatal.' He had moved a little to one side, so that Winston had a better view of the thing on the table. It was an oblong wire cage with a handle on top for carrying it by. Fixed to the front of it was something that looked like a fencing mask, with the concave side outwards. Although it was three or four metres away from him, he could see that the cage was divided lengthways into two compartments, and that there was some kind of creature in each. They were rats. 'In your case,' said O'Brien, 'the worst thing in the world happens to be rats...'"
If you are inclined to approve of these methods to get information you should be inclined to overturn the laws that prohibit them.
This is America. We live in the greatest democracy ever conceived. This means that if a majority of American citizens approve of "these methods", then they can have them enshrined as law.
In other words, American citizens have it in their power to legalize torture. If we did this we could consider ourselves a nation of laws once more.
Time Magazine's Joe Klein admits that the CIA gets asked to break U.S. and after they do break the law the CIA agents get huffy if/when threatened with prosecution.
You asked us to act "extra legally" and now you prosecute. No fair.
You want a government that "leans" on prisoners and detainees, then help change American laws that disallow the "leaning". Or do we treat American law as another abstraction.
This is America. We the People have the power to make torture legal if we so choose.
I love America and I feel joy when our elected government officials provide Americans with with effective efficient governance.
There are two things behind the dismal governance we routinely get here in America: No transparency and no accountability from elected and appointed government officials.
This is how government works. No transparency. No accountability. Most people accept it. Those who do not are either right or left wing kooks depending on the individual case. Any reporter will tell you that.
American presidents act as if they are beyond the laws that impact the rest of us. The experience of my entire adult life indicates that they are.
Therefore to talk about no government or government being "the problem" is silly. Government is the mechanism that allows men to secure their rights.
This sounds like unfounded conjecture to me. I have lived in and and paid taxes to Britain and Australia. Loved em both. People who live abroad form "expat" communities. I have never heard of an American "expat" say they would move away from either country because of the tax structure.
Reagan said, "Government is the problem." (He said all this while increasing the size of government massively.) That idea is silly and wrong. Bad government truly IS a problem. We the People must hold bad government accountable.
