The Best of Ludwig von Mises
It's a seemingly impossible task to select the best of Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) whose teaching and writing career spanned six decades and whose literary output includes several mighty and timeless treatises on political economy. They were not written in isolation from the real and often horrifying events of the 20th century; they were heavily informed by the brilliance and tragedy of his life experiences – including as a refugee forced to flee his home in Vienna – in battling every form of totalitarianism. I've been reading his work since the dawn of my intellectual consciousness but I've yet to discover the end of his capacity to illuminate the world around us. I never fail to profit from re-reading even the books I think I understand best. Learning from Mises is a lifelong project. Even so, these five essays carry amazing power, as you will soon discover. ~ Jeffrey Tucker, Editorial Director, American Institute for Economic Research. Page count: 230.
The Counterrevolution (Hardcover) by E.C. Harwood
The Counterrevolution by Edward C. Harwood was originally published in 1951 as a clarion call for a renewal of the revolution that was freedom and a warning against the statist counterrevolution. Compiled into thirteen chapters, it sketches the developments that led to the advances of Western Civilization by fostering the spread of individual freedoms, assesses the many social and governance issues of the first half of the Twentieth Century, and explains why those problematical issues constituted a counterrevolution as succinctly expressed in Patrick Henry's warning: "The Constitution is not a document for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government—lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
AIER Tie
Edward C. Harwood fought for sound money when few Americans seemed to care. He was the original gold standard man before that became cool. Now he is honored in this beautiful sewn silk tie in the richest possible color and greatest detail. The red is not just red; it is darker and deeper, more distinctive and suggestive of seriousness of purpose. The Harwood coin is carefully sewn (not stamped). Sporting this, others might miss that you are secretly supporting the revolution for freedom and sound money, but you will know, and that is what matters.

Want clients right now? Here's how to get them - Ask this one simple question.
Want clients right now? Here's how to get them.
Hi, Fearless Founders! Today, I'm going to show you one super simple question, but extra powerful, when it comes to creating courses online, programs, products, or services.
If you want to know how to get more clients and sell more online using brain science psychology, and the human side of success, then keep reading.
You have no idea how amazing this little word "serve" in a whole question works!
When people get asked: "What would you buy as a course?" they get slightly defensive, because usually a sentence containing the word 'buy' suggests you're going to sell. When you focus on them instead, and ask them specifically: "How can I best serve you?", their mind opens up and this way you can follow with another questions.
"What would you want me to unveil, so you know exactly what you're doing?".
This way instead of just shoving it into their face, and imposing that you may actually sell something to them right here, right now, you're getting them involved in the process and people love to be involved.
People love to be heard.
Hence by using one of the most powerful elements of psychology in today's world – actively listening – you're giving someone a chance to speak, you're a winner!
No matter which situation I'm in. If I ask the person in the right context, in the right situation, I'll always get the answers that I'm looking for and I hope you can do it too for your business. Don't underestimate simple questions.

No one remembers the person who comes second. Or third. Or twelfth.
History, in as much as it remembers anyone, reserves its slots for the winners.
And yet almost all of mankind's graft, humanity's progress and civilisation's march has been done by the also-rans, the forgettable others who simply got on with it.
As Charles Bukowski had it, for every Wagner there's a Bruckner.
While the mercurial Wagner revolutionised opera and was seen as the inventor of modern classical music, his contemporary was a humbler man, who acknowledged Wagner's greatness while producing some lesser known symphonies of his own.
Bukowski was himself no stranger to the world of uninspiring graft. Until the age of 49 he worked various mundane jobs, most notably as a post office clerk, while writing at night.
Perhaps that explains his affinity with those who did "the best they could/and kept on doing it/even when they knew they/were second best".
Milton's thousands, "who only stand and wait", become Bukowski's second raters, those of us "who refuse to quit".
His short poem 'Bruckner (2)' is a tribute to their presence, their perseverance, their "strange courage".
Why walk when you can saunter?
When was the last time you had a good saunter?
Not a bracing walk on the beach after Sunday lunch, or a sweaty stroll around the shops, but a mind-emptying couple of hours spent outdoors, putting one foot in front of another?
Can't remember? In that case you may be risking your happiness, your mental health, your limited days of existence as a sentient being in a world that offers soul-blinding experiential delights.
Henry David Thoreau thought you were. In 1861 he wrote his treatise 'Walking' (neatly summarised on this Brain Pickings post), in which he described the benefits of sauntering for those who otherwise endured a sedentary life.
The Walden philosopher, at leisure to stroll thanks to – it seems – the donut-baking generosity of his mother and sister, extols us to get up and move.
But it's not that simple. Sauntering is not a physical act, it's a mental one.
You can stroll off along a beach, for an hour or more (as I often do), believing that you're immersing yourself in nature and renewing your sensibilities. But you're wasting your time – the act of motion is not enough.
How often we find ourselves strolling while distracted? Thoughts of the day-to-day easily pervade – work, appointments, plans. How much of my walk is wasted as I fiddle with my iPod's song selections or its ear buds?
So even the great Transcendentalist himself pondered his shopping list while perambulating around Walden Pond.
Aware of this, Thoreau set to practice what he dubbed " the art of walking", the highest form of which was the act of sauntering: walking with a presence of mind, a focus on the body, the land, the air, the everything, and with the affairs of "the village" left behind.
It doesn't come easy. Thoreau stated that "it requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker".
Or just finding the right path.
Mother's Day is an occasion often observed more in the absence.
No voice, no presence, instead a void. A loss.
The feeling is unique to each person in a hundred ways but it's also shared, among family members and outwards, to friends and acquaintances.
The Irish poet Seamus Heaney saw the absence of a mother as a clearance – an emptiness where a tree had been, rooted in a homeplace.
Shortly after his mother died Heaney wrote 'Clearances', a short cycle of sonnets documenting her life and his bereavement.
The details are personal, like breath in a room – his mother's voice, how she folded sheets, how he felt closest to her when Heaney, as child, would help her chop potatoes.
In the final two sonnets, below, these details gather, as we stand with Heaney and his father at his mother's final bedside, witnessing a 'pure change' happen.
For many Mother's Day is not a celebration, nor is it a commiseration, instead it's a simple, clear, unified absence.
'Clearances' extends no explanations or simple comforts. It does offer up a final hope that somewhere there's "a soul ramifying", forever in a place "beyond silence listened for".
Almost than in all their life together.

Nokia X20 Review: Is It Good Enough?
Nokia, Review
9jaboizgist May 15, 2021 May 15, 2021
Sustainable and loving? The Nokia X20 shows where the traditional Finnish manufacturer is going: new mobile phone names, more sustainability, even more customer-oriented. This was possible with 5G, an extra-long warranty, and compostable accessories. We take a closer look at the test.
Until recently, affordable 5G phones were a rarity. The vast majority of smartphones were predominantly flagships weighing in on savings. The phones cost £ 700 or more.
With your contract nearing its end, you now have plenty of choices for the budget-conscious buyer. Sure, the UK's fledgling 5G network may still be a bit lacking when it comes to coverage, but budget phones like the new Nokia X20 could be a good starting point for consumers ready to take their first steps in the ever-expanding world. world of 5G.

Nokia X20 Review: Verdict
After Nokia launched its first 5G phone last year, it's back in the familiar low-cost range with the Nokia X20. The modest specs list includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480, 6 GB or 8 GB RAM, 128 GB expandable storage, and a 6.67-inch 60Hz FHD + display. It also has a 64MP primary camera in addition to a 5MP ultra-wide unit and a pair of 2MP depth and macro sensors.
A standard version of Android 11 with three years of monthly security updates and an extended three-year warranty is pre-installed on the Nokia X20. It doesn't come with a charger, but Nokia does have a USB-C charging cable and a compostable cover that looks a bit like a terrazzo kitchen tile.
Nokia's second-largest 5G phone is the cheapest to date at 300GB with 6GB RAM and £ 320 with 8GB. The latter is available exclusively for Nokia's own online shop and was sent to me for review.

If you shop through Nokia, you also get a free 90-day data plan of 15 GB on Nokia's new UK mobile network, HMD Mobile. However, at the time of writing, this is just a 4G plan, with 5G connectivity at a later date.
The Nokia X20 costs $ 412 (~ # 135,000) for 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. It will be available for general purchase in May. Currently, only verification units are shipped for verification by HMD.
The Nokia X20 is not alone when it comes to Cutthroat 5G offerings. Xiaomi's budget-friendly Redmi Note 9T is our favorite 5G phone right now. If you bought one of these phones, you save 120 euros (179 euros) compared to the Nokia. The still-excellent Moto G 5G Plus has also fallen in price since launch and now costs £ 230.
If you're willing to spend a little more than the Nokia, the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G ($ 380) is just as good a choice as the Google Pixel 4a ($ 349)* and the iPhone SE ($ 399)*.
What do we have in terms of design? With the choice between the bronze-colored "Midnight Sun" or "Mystic Blue" (shown here), the reflective matte finish of the Nokia X20 not only looks good but also feels good in the hand. The Zeiss branded quad cameras are neatly arranged in a round housing and are located next to the phone's LED flash and above the centrally placed metal Nokia logo.
The Nokia X20 is a bit cheeky, though. If you weigh 220g and are 9.1mm thick, it can get a bit tight if you have small pockets or a stylish little handbag.
However, the rest of the physical features of the Nokia X20 all make perfect sense. Charging takes place via a USB-C port on the bottom, which is located between the speaker of the phone and the 3.5 mm audio jack. The power switch on the right also serves as a fingerprint reader. On the left edge of the phone are a special Google Assistant key and a SIM card slot with extra space for a second SIM or microSD card.
On the front of the phone is a 6.67 inch 20: 9 IPS display with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080. The Nokia X20's screen is limited to just 60Hz, which is a bit of a shame if you're hoping for high-refresh scrolling and gaming. In comparison, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, which costs 50 euros less than the Nokia, has a 120 Hz AMOLED display.

Also, the Nokia X20's screen is a bit inconsistent in terms of color accuracy. With an average Delta E of 3.69 in my tests, the phone's IPS panel was all over the place, with supersaturated dark blues and greens and matte-looking reds.
The good news, however, is that the screen becomes bright enough in sunny conditions with a measured peak luminance of 635 cd / m2 when the adaptive brightness setting is activated. The phone's contrast of 1241: 1 isn't bad either.
Inside, the Nokia X20 is powered by an octa-core processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 480, clocked at 2 GHz. When it comes to RAM, I was sent the top-of-the-range 8GB Nokia X20 for review, but there is also a slightly cheaper 6GB variant in the stores. Both models have 128 GB of internal storage, with the option to expand it further if you have a spare microSD card.
In the Geekbench 5 single and multi-core CPU tests, the Nokia X20 scored 507 and 1633 points, roughly equal to the speeds of the Pixel 4a, Redmi Note 9T, and OnePlus Nord N10. Overall performance feels pretty snappy, but the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G easily beats it, and the iPhone SE beats it all.
The Nokia X20 isn't too shabby when it comes to gaming either, with the Adreno 619 GPU showing an average of 37 frames per second on the screen in the Manhattan 3 GFXBench test. The lack of a very refreshing 120Hz display isn't a big deal here as chances are most games will find it difficult to get high frame rates anyway.
The battery life of the Nokia X20 is also quite good. In a video rundown test, which lasts a total of 17 hours and 44 minutes, Nokia does not stand out significantly from its competitors. However, you should be able to cut down on a day's usage on a single charge, if not a little more.
The Nokia X20 has a quad-camera setup consisting of a primary 64-megapixel unit (standard 16-megapixel images), a 5-megapixel ultra-wide, and two 2-megapixel depth and macro sensors. That's pretty common these days, and Nokia's 32-megapixel front-facing camera is nothing out of the ordinary either.

How did I pass my tests with the Nokia X20 range of cameras? It's a bit confusing, but the good news is that the main camera is a delight and captures richly detailed images, especially in sunny environments. I had to adjust the exposure slider on the screen a few times to optimize exposure, but overall the Nokia X20's default capture mode produced images that I would like to upload to social media with minimal post-capture edits.
The phone's night mode is a bit dim, with a huge loss of detail as darkness creeps in and a pretty old splash of visual noise. Likewise, the 5-megapixel ultra-wide camera isn't particularly good. The result is more like a watercolor than the type you want to hang on your wall.
When it comes to videos, the Nokia X20 offers the top performance of 1080p and a choice of 30fps or 60fps. Images looked crisp and stable with the EIS setting enabled, but cheaper phones like the Redmi Note 9T and Moto G 5G Plus can record at up to 4K resolution.
If you look beyond the high-end aesthetic of the Nokia X20, you end up with a device that cannot compete with its competitors in terms of value creation. Considering the caliber of the phone that you can currently buy for a lot less money, the Nokia X20 doesn't stand out in any way.
Cheap 5G
Main camera is great
60Hz IPS display
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T is better value
If your buying budget is tight and you have 5G in your sights, the cheaper Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T* will remain our top 5G pick for now. Unfortunately, the Nokia X20's relatively limited range is not good enough to get a recommendation.

Did Hobbes believe in social contract?
Hobbes believed that in man's natural state, moral ideas do not exist.
Thus, in speaking of human nature, he defines good simply as that which people desire and evil as that which they avoid, at least in the state of nature.
Hobbes uses these definitions as bases for explaining a variety of emotions and behaviors..
Hobbes calls this figure the "Leviathan," a word derived from the Hebrew for "sea monster" and the name of a monstrous sea creature appearing in the Bible; the image constitutes the definitive metaphor for Hobbes's perfect government.
Hobbes was a proponent of Absolutism, a system which placed control of the state in the hands of a single individual, a monarch free from all forms of limitations or accountability. Locke, on the other hand, favored a more open approach to state-building.
Throughout his life, Hobbes believed that the only true and correct form of government was the absolute monarchy. He argued this most forcefully in his landmark work, Leviathan. This belief stemmed from the central tenet of Hobbes' natural philosophy that human beings are, at their core, selfish creatures.
Locke and Hobbes are both famed political philosophers whose writings have been greatly influential in the development of modern political thought. In addition, the two are similar in that both refer to a "state of nature" in which man exists without government, and both speak of risks in this state.
It is a man's right of nature to be free to do what he considers good for him, and do that which will enable him to stay alive. … Hobbes states in the Leviathan that certain laws of nature must be obeyed, "but they cannot be relied on in the state of nature" (Gough, 1957: 106).
Hobbes theory of Social Contract supports absolute sovereign without giving any value to individuals, while Locke and Rousseau supports individual than the state or the government. … He rules out a representative form of government. But, Locke does not make any such distinction.
In Leviathan (1651), Hobbes argued that the absolute power of the sovereign was ultimately justified by the consent of the governed, who agreed, in a hypothetical social contract, to obey the sovereign in all matters in exchange for a guarantee of peace and security.
The work concerns the structure of society and legitimate government, and is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory. Written during the English Civil War (1642–1651), it argues for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign.
"I definetely say i agree with John Locke , because thomas hobbes said one person should rule and have unlimited power. joh locke said that people should make changes.
One of these laws is the Right of Nature," every man's inborn right to use whatever means available to preserve his own life. Natural law includes our right to self-preservation and forbids humans from taking actions destructive to their own lives.
the mutual transferring of rightHobbes defines contract as "the mutual transferring of right." In the state of nature, everyone has the right to everything – there are no limits to the right of natural liberty. The social contract is the agreement by which individuals mutually transfer their natural right.
solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. What are the disadvantages of living in a time of war, according to Hobbes? … In war there is no law; and where there is no law, there can be no injustice.
Hobbes asserted that the people agreed among themselves to "lay down" their natural rights of equality and freedom and give absolute power to a sovereign. … Hobbes called this agreement the "social contract." Hobbes believed that a government headed by a king was the best form that the sovereign could take.

The Florida Jazz and Blues Festival is what this community has been waiting for since Cascades Park was rebirthed. The festival planning team, which includes two-time Grammy winner and jazz trumpeter Scotty Barnhart, is poised to leverage creative marketing, targeted outreach, global contacts, and local legendary historical context to "make this one of the premiere festivals in the world," as Barnhart, the current director of the Legendary Count Basie Orchestra, noted recently. He went on to note, "Seriously. I'm looking forward to making this happen and using every resource at my disposal." Using Tallahassee and Leon County as a central point and the capital to the great state of Florida, the festival planning team plans to reach far and wide inviting those to come visit our community, stay with us a couple of days, and witness some unforgettable experiences through jazz and blues; experiences that some might never witness again. As Scotty reminds us in his words, actions, and travels, the success of this festival has little to do with geography and everything to do with the potential talent that will collide during this special time that we have planned.
Because of one of our headliner's reach, the legendary Count Basie Orchestra, we have access to their existing global and state-side contacts and relationships to grow our festival's roster, influence, and impact at an exponential rate.
The Count Basie Orchestra, currently traveling the world celebrating its 80th Anniversary and continuing the excellent standards in swinging and shouting the blues with precision, started 2016 fresh off of their holiday season tour in Japan, Hawaii, Arizona, and California, where they performed to sold out audiences in all locations. Also, their new and first Christmas recording, "A Very Swingin' Basie Christmas" featuring special guests Johnny Mathis, Ledisi, Ellis Marsalis and Carmen Bradford, became another hit, garnering national news and even selling out the warehouse before the holiday!
Additionally, potential collaborative partnerships with Leon County Government, the City of Tallahassee, the Community Redevelopment Agency, the Council on Cultural & Arts, Leon County Schools, Florida A&M University, Florida State University, Tallahassee Community College, the Tallahassee Democrat / Gannett, Rowland Publishing, Tri-Eagle Sales, DoubleTree by Hilton, Four Points by Sheraton, Ajax Building Corporation, The Edison, the Bradfordville Blues Club, B Sharps Jazz Club, the local chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association, the local chapter of the American Advertising Federation, a local banking partner, a regional grocery partner, and other local non-profit organizations will allow our marketing and outreach message to saturate the community and region.
We have the partnership commitment of communications marketing firm BowStern, who is very familiar with what is needed to hit our marks locally, regionally, and nationally.
Additionally, we have the experience and expertise of the Leon County Tourism staff and Visit Tallahassee's agency of record, the Zimmerman Agency – an advertising and public relations force that touts major brands and global hospitality clients, to help us successfully promote and execute a well-planned and strategic marketing approach for this new, innovative, and exciting signature event for Leon County and Tallahassee, Florida.


I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
Today's conventional wisdom might suggest that such a strategy is not sophisticated enough, not appealing enough, and not subtle enough to succeed in a thoroughly pagan society. But Paul's life and legacy prove otherwise. In fact, before he first arrived in Corinth, the apostle and his cohorts had earned a reputation as "men who have upset [literally, "upended"] the world" (Acts 17:6).
That statement proves that Paul's (and his companions') gospel preaching was effective. But it wasn't meant as a compliment. That is what the Jewish leaders in Thessalonica said about Paul — just before they incited a riot. The fact that the church grew quickly and reached to the outer edges of the Roman Empire (and beyond) certainly does not mean the apostles found a way to make their message popular. The gospel was no more popular in the first century than it is today. The majority of people rejected and opposed the message — often violently.
The opposition Paul faced in Thessalonica was by no means unusual or unexpected. Before he ever arrived in Thessalonica, Paul had already met fierce resistance in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra (2 Timothy 3:11). In fact, he had been stoned and left for dead in Lystra (Acts 14:9). In Philippi, he was attacked by a mob, beaten with rods, and thrown in jail (Acts 16:22-23).
While the church grew, hostility from the wider community kept pace. Some four years after Paul was run out of Thessalonica, Ephesus would respond even more angrily to the gospel (Acts 19:29).
What's significant about all this is that in the face of such opposition, Paul made no effort whatsoever to adapt his methodology in a way that might mollify his critics or avoid the reproach. He was fully aware of what people's "felt needs" were: "Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom" (1 Corinthians 1:23). But he did not adapt his strategy accordingly: "We preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness" (v. 24). Whenever he came into a new region, he would immediately seek out the local synagogue, go there on the Sabbath, and preach Christ to the gathered assembly.
That simple message — the gospel, proclaimed boldly and without apology — is what triggered all the antagonism against Paul in Thessalonica.
If Paul had been thinking like the typical 21st-century churchgoer, he might have put the gospel on a back burner and tried find a way to win the respect and admiration of influential citizens before proclaiming the gospel in a culture where most people clearly thought the message was both foolish and deeply offensive.
But Paul didn't do that. He went directly from Thessalonica to Berea and preached in the synagogue there (Acts 17:10). When some hooligans followed him from Thessalonica and tried to provoke the citizens of Berea to riot, Paul moved on to Athens (Acts 17:15), where yet again he took the gospel to the synagogue on the Sabbath. He also proclaimed the gospel in the Athenian marketplace during the week (Acts 17:17), stirring both interest and controversy there, too.
Acts 17 goes on to recount how Paul was summoned to speak to the elite minds of Athens at the Areopagus — the gathering place of philosophers and intellectuals. It was not because he had won their respect, but practically the opposite: The philosophers thought he would make an amusing diversion — perhaps an easy target for some highbrow scorn. "What would this idle babbler wish to say?" (Acts 17:18).
The apostle was himself an educated man, well versed in the philosophies and ancient writings of the Athenians. He was able to quote classic Greek poets to demonstrate that Greek beliefs were once closer to biblical truth than any of the philosophies commonly embraced by the elite minds of that first-century generation.
He was about to expound the gospel more fully to these Athenian intellectuals who were among the world's brightest minds, but as soon as he mentioned the resurrection from the dead, the response was so much mockery, controversy, and crosstalk that the meeting broke up before Paul had an opportunity to finish his message to the Areopagites.
Again, the typical evangelical missional strategist today would no doubt wish to modify Paul's approach. Surely such a response — by now a predictable pattern in Paul's ministry — requires a revamping of the whole strategy. Right?
Wrong. Paul went straight from Athens to Corinth, where his strategy remained unchanged.
What kind of arguments did Paul use in Corinth? After such opposition in Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens, did he change his approach to suit Corinthian culture better?
Paul stayed on message. Despite intense opposition (up to and including the real potential of violent resistance), he never downplayed or deviated from the gospel.
May we have the same single-mindedness and courage.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, strengthen our faith and open our mouths to speak the gospel boldly to our families, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. And may our lives reflect the truth we proclaim. Give us grace and fill our hearts with compassion as you conform us to the image of your Son, the Lord Jesus.

'The Voice': Did All of the Coaches Sabotage Team John Legend Immediately in Blind Auditions?
'The Voice': Did All of the Coaches Sabotage Team John Legend Immediately in Blind Auditions?
Season 16 of The Voice started with the coaches not pulling any punches. Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, and John Legend are building their teams and can affect each other with a block button. How three coaches used it have some people wondering if the coaches sabotaged Team John Legend. Here is the reason why.
The show always likes to introduce twists to keep things fresh and competitive between the coaches. This season it's a block button that coaches can use on each other in the blind auditions. It stops a specific coach from being able to turn around and compete for a singer to join their team.
It didn't take long for the Season 16 coaches to use it in the first episode. Two of them used it and it was definitely targeting a newcomer.
Shelton is very competitive so it's probably not surprising that he was the first coach to use the block button. What is a little surprising is that he used it against Legend.
Shelton blocked Legend for Gyth Rigdon's audition. Rigdon was a fan of the new coach too and said he was a fan of the EGOT winner "even though I grew up in the South and I am mainly country, I sing pop, rock, blues, soul music." Shelton put a stop to that and it took some time for Legend to notice.
"How am I the first person blocked?" asked before Shelton and Clarkson tried to persuade Rigdon onto their team. In the end, Shelton won.
It was then Clarkson's turn to use the twist when Rizzi Myers performed Ariana Grande's "Breathin." Clarkson, Legend, and Shelton all turned around for the impressive singer but Clarkson and Shelton were the only ones who had a shot because Legend was blocked.
Clarkson revealed why she decided to use the button on Legend. "I used my block on John. He's new. He doesn't know that you have to go quick if you're gonna block somebody," explained last season's winner.
That certainly is a strategy, but it is interesting that the other coaches decided to target Legend when they all have multiple wins under their belt. It turns out that Levine will use his button against Legend as well.
We know that Levine also blocked Legend this season because he previously revealed it in an interview with Jimmy Fallon. He talked about how the twist played out.
So did this move sabotage Team John Legend? If Ridgon and Myers go far the answer might be yes. However, there are still so many more things on the horizon.
Season 16 will have The Comeback Stage once again with coach Bebe Rexha so a knocked out artist will come back later in the season. The save button will also be in play later this season so Legend could save a team member he wants to hold on to later in the game.
There are many variables that it's too early to say whether the team is sabotaged, but it's certainly not being helped by the other coaches.

Este artículo trata acerca del poblado ficticio. Para la serie de televisión que lleva el nombre de este pueblo, véase Riverdale (serie de televisión).
Riverdale es un pueblo ficticio que sirve de marco para la mayoría de los varios personajes de Archie Comics. Se han dado detalles conflictivos sobre su ubicación geográfica a lo largo de los años. Riverdale (en la serie televisiva homónima) se encuentra cerca de Greendale.

Visión general
Riverdale es el escenario de las historias en el universo de Archie Comics. Por lo general, se representa como un pueblo de tamaño mediano (posiblemente un suburbio de una ciudad más grande), con todas las comodidades habituales de centros comerciales, restaurantes y parques. En las primeras historias del cómic Archie en la década 1940, se identificó como Riverdale, Nueva York, un verdadero vecindario en el Bronx. En el cómic Jackpot Comics #5 (tercer trimestre de 1942), una historia escrita por Bob Montana tiene a la pandilla en un viaje por el río. Uno de sus paneles dice "... el buen barco 'Peter Stuyvesant' se instala en el Hudson, mientras Riverdale High viajan a bordo para un feliz viaje a Bear Mountain".

Más tarde, la geografía se volvió más vaga, con el clima y la apariencia que varían de una historia a otra. Riverdale ha demostrado tener playas, lagos, ríos, desiertos, tierras de cultivo, bosques, montañas, llanuras, un sistema de tránsito (como se señala en la película Josie and the Pussycats) y cuatro estaciones distintivas con cambios en el clima.

El editor de Archie Comics, John L. Goldwater, y el artista inicial del cómic Archie, Bob Montana, difirieron en la inspiración de Riverdale, y Goldwater dijo que se basaba en su ciudad natal de Hiawatha, Kansas y en su caso Montana dijo que la escuela secundaria del pueblo se basaba en Haverhill, Massachusetts, donde, como en los cómics, se encuentra una réplica de la famosa estatua El pensador de Auguste Rodin.

En un número del cómic Archie and Jughead Digest, cuando uno de los lectores preguntó en una carta: "¿Dónde está ubicado Riverdale?", el editor respondió: "Riverdale es más un estado de ánimo que un lugar físico real. Podría ser en cualquier lugar donde la gente amable viva y se divierta, como Archie y sus amigos. Podría estar en el Medio Oeste, a lo largo de la Costa Este, o incluso en una ciudad en Canadá, México o Inglaterra".

Riverdale High School
Esta es la institución educativa local de Riverdale donde Archie Andrews y sus amigos (Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Cheryl  Blossom, Kevin Keller, Jughead Jones, Toni Topaz, Reggie Mantle. Josie McCoy, Valerie Brown, Melody Valentine, Ethel Muggs, Chuck Clayton, Moose Mason) asisten al 11º grado. Sus colores escolares son azul y oro, y su periódico escolar es nombrado "Blue and Gold" (lit. "Azul y Oro").

Solo algunos de los empleados de Riverdale High aparecen regularmente en los cómics; estos incluyen al director de la escuela Sr. Weatherbee, la maestra de salón de clase Miss Grundy, el maestro de química Sr. Flutesnoot, la maestra de historia Miss Haggly, los maestros de educación física Entrenador Kleats y Entrenador Clayton, la cocinera de la cafetería Sra. Beazley, el conserje Sr. Svenson, la secretaria Srta. Phlips y el superintendente de escuelas Sr. Hassle.

En la miniserie de cinco números Faculty  Funyies (portada de junio de 1989 a mayo de 1990) por el escritor George Gladir y el dibujante Stan Goldberg, los miembros de la facultad Sr. Weatherbee, Flutesnoot, Miss Grundy y el Entrenador Clayton se convierten en secreto en el equipo de superhéroes "Awesome Foursome", después de un accidente de laboratorio involucrando el proyecto científico de Archie. Pierden sus poderes después de apagar un fuego químico.

La serie Archie at Riverdale High publicó 113 números (agosto de 1972 a febrero de 1987). Esta fue seguida por Riverdale High, que duró seis números (agosto-junio de 1990). Luego de una breve pausa, fue retitulada Archie's Riverdale High y luego cancelada con el número 8 (agosto-octubre de 1991).

Lugares notables
Lugares en Riverdale además de la escuela secundaria incluyen los siguientes:
Chocklit Shoppe: Propiedad de Pop Tate, la tienda de refrescos frecuentada por el elenco de adolescentes.
Parque Pickens, el parque comunitario llamado así por el héroe ficticio de la Guerra de Secesión, General Pickens.
Mansión Lodge, la casa enorme y lujosa de la acaudalada Veronica Lodge y sus padres.
Hogares de otros miembros de la pandilla, incluida la residencia Andrews, la residencia Jones y la residencia Cooper.
El laboratorio de ciencias de Dilton Doiley, una instalación en el hogar donde Dilton inventa y realiza experimentos.
El estudio de Chuck Clayton, donde Chuck dibuja sus caricaturas en casa.
La playa, donde Archie y la pandilla pasan gran parte de su tiempo en el verano.
Riverdale Mall, una fuente de compras y entretenimiento, especialmente para las chicas.
Mansión Blossom, la casa más enorme y lujosa donde viven la acaudalada Cheryl Blossom y su familia.

Pueblos cercanos
Algunas poblaciones cercanas incluyen a Greendale y Midvale. Greendale es el hogar de Sabrina Spellman, que una vez vivió en Riverdale pero finalmente se mudó. Los personajes que aparecen en el cómic Josie and the Pussycats provienen de Midvale.

El principal rival escolar y atlético de Riverdale High School es Central High School, ubicado en otra comunidad cercana. Central High parece consistir en nada más que individuos ruines. Los tipos son generalmente brutos engañosos gamberros, y las chicas son usualmente vampiresas chismosas lascivas. En la mayoría de sus encuentros, los estudiantes de Central High School rara vez compiten sin usar una conducta antideportiva, si no hacen trampa abiertamente. Los entrenadores y profesores a menudo no solo son conscientes de esta estafa, sino que lo alientan. En la mayoría de los casos, los colores del equipo de Central High School son rojo brillante y blanco plateado.

Pembrooke Academy es una escuela privada a la que asisten los hermanos Cheryl y Jason Blossom y sus amigos esnobs Bunny y Cedric. Miran con aires de superioridad a los estudiantes de Riverdale, considerándolos como "pueblerinos", y (a excepción de los gemelos Blossom) no se asociarán voluntariamente con ellos. Otras escuelas que se han presentado como escuelas rivales de Riverdale incluyen Hadley High y Southside High. En un cómic, una carta enviada a Riverdale tiene "U." en donde debería figurar el estado, y un código postal de 10543 (que en la vida real es Mamaroneck, Nueva York, el hogar de Michael Silberkleit, un editor de Archie Comics).

Referencias culturales
En el episodio "Sideshow Bob Roberts" (#2F02) de Los Simpsons, varios personajes de Archie Comics, incluidos Archie Andrews, Reggie Mantle, Moose Mason y Jughead Jones, hacen una breve aparición. Después de que los secuaces de Sideshow Bob se estacionaron frente a la casa de los Simpsons y arrojaron a Bart Simpson (que había estado investigando a Bob) fuera de su auto, inmediatamente después la pandilla de Archie, en uno de los non sequitur frecuentes de la serie, se estacionaron frente a la casa de los Simpsons y tiraron a Homer Simpson fuera de su coche. Moose le advierte a Homer "¡Duh, quédate fuera de Riverdale!". Más adelante en el episodio, Homer está leyendo una revista de Archie Comics y murmura: "¡Punks engreídos de Riverdale, piensan que son demasiado buenos para mí!".
La banda uruguaya de pop-punk Riverdale toma su nombre de dicha ciudad y en referencia al cómic Archie.
 El rapero Waka Flocka Flame en uno de los versos de la canción "Wild Boy" con Machine Gun Kelly dice: "I'm screaming Riverdale everywhere I go".

Q: Tkinter Treeview identify on right click event returns previous right clicked row I have a treeview in tkinter using python 3.
The problem is that when I bind a right-click to get the row ID of the right-clicked row, I end up getting the actual row ID of the previous event. For example, I might right-click "Project 1", this will return me "" and then I right-click "Project 2" and it returns "Project 1" as rowID.
def initTreeView(self):
    self.treeView = ttk.Treeview(self.treeSectionFrame)
    self.treeView.heading('#0', text='Projects')

    self.treeView.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=("N", "S", "E", "W"))

    self.treeView.bind('<3>', self.rightClickMenu)

def rightClickMenu(self, event):
    def hello():
        print("hello!")
    # create a popup menu
    print(event.x, event.y)
    rowID = self.treeView.identify('item', event.x, event.y)
    if rowID:
        menu = Menu(self.root, tearoff=0)
        menu.add_command(label="Undo", command=hello)
        menu.add_command(label="Redo", command=hello)
        menu.post(event.x_root, event.y_root)

        self.treeView.selection_set(rowID)
        self.treeView.focus_set()
        self.treeView.focus(rowID)
        print(rowID)
    else:
        pass

Thanks,
[EDIT]
I've found a dirty hack which consists of making the tags of each item the same as its id so you can then fetch the actual rowID. This can also be done using the value option.
self.treeView.insert("", "end", "id-1, tags="id-1", text="Project 1")

...
rowID = self.treeView.identify('item', event.x, event.y)
rowID = self.treeView.item(rowID)["tags"] # gives you actual ID

A: First of all, if you want to print the actual rowID, then just print it right away:
...
rowID = self.treeView.identify('item', event.x, event.y)
print(rowID)
...

... but of course, this is not what you're expecting from the code. To overcome this problem — let's invert logic a little bit:
def rightClickMenu(self, event):
    def hello():
        print("hello!")
    # create a popup menu
    print(event.x, event.y)
    rowID = self.treeView.identify('item', event.x, event.y)
    if rowID:
        self.treeView.selection_set(rowID)
        self.treeView.focus_set()
        self.treeView.focus(rowID)
        print(rowID)

        menu = Menu(self.root, tearoff=0)
        menu.add_command(label="Undo", command=hello)
        menu.add_command(label="Redo", command=hello)
        menu.post(event.x_root, event.y_root)
    else:
        pass

As you can see, now changing selections aren't blocked by the Menu widget.
The reason why it's works like that is because post method displays Menu right away and this event needs to be handled by tk somehow. Thus, we have the main problem: the positioning of that post.
Another approach example:
    ...
    menu = Menu(self.root, tearoff=0)
    menu.add_command(label="Undo", command=hello)
    menu.add_command(label="Redo", command=hello)

    self.treeView.selection_set(rowID)
    self.treeView.focus_set()
    self.treeView.focus(rowID)
    print(rowID)
    menu.post(event.x_root, event.y_root)
    ...

But in my opinion, I think that the most logically correct option here is to extract selection handling to another function, and use it as a postcommand argument of Menu. So that after that you aren't trying to sit on two chairs at the same time with one callback function.

Marlies in command after Game 3 romp
The Toronto Marlies are one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals after a resounding 7-1 win over Syracuse on Sunday night.
The Marlies now have a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series and will look to sweep aside the Crunch in Game 4 on Tuesday.
Thirteen different players registered a point in Game 3 for Toronto, which snapped a six-game road losing streak in postseason play.
Calvin Pickard (1-0) made 18 saves to pick up the win in the first playoff start of his six-year career. He also recorded an assist.
With both teams coming off a double-overtime marathon less than 24 hours earlier, it was the Marlies who jumped out quickly as Chris Mueller (1g, 1a) and Carl Grundstrom (1g, 1a) scored to give Toronto a 2-0 lead just 4:35 into Game 3.
After making 55 saves in Game 2 on Saturday, Connor Ingram (1-2) stopped 23 of 30 shots in Game 3.
The loss matched the Crunch's largest margin of defeat ever in a home playoff game; it had occurred four times previously, most recently in an 8-2 loss — also to Toronto — exactly 10 years ago (May 6, 2008).

A sharp, timely collection of essays.
DON'T CALL ME PRINCESS
ESSAYS ON GIRLS, WOMEN, SEX AND LIFE
by Peggy Orenstein ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 27, 2018
A feminist journalist gathers some of her most influential pieces.
New York Times Magazine contributing writer Orenstein (Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape, 2016, etc.) came to journalism believing that individual stories—especially those about girls and women—could "illuminate something universal [and] essential about our time." Here, she collects articles written over a distinguished career spanning more than 30 years. The author groups her work into four themed sections. The first presents profiles of well-known women such as Gloria Steinem and Robin Morgan. Both became the driving forces behind Ms. magazine, which they saw gutted and remade over the decades by a sexist, profit-driven media industry. Orenstein also covers lesser-known figures such as the "worldly and independent" feminist Japanese journalist Atsuko Chiba and the controversial graphic artist Phoebe Gloeckner, whose work about teenage sexuality is as unique as it is disturbing. In the second section, Orenstein covers topics related to female corporeality. These articles are among the most personal in the book. They include a piece comprised entirely of diary entries that Orenstein wrote during a battle with breast cancer and a memoir-style reflection about her post-cancer experiences with miscarriage. In the third section, the author tackles modern motherhood. She observes that working mothers still struggle with critical attitudes toward a life split between parenting and a career. Advances in bio-technology have "shattered conventional definitions of 'parent,' " further complicating notions of what constitutes a "mother." The last section of the book contains Orenstein's musings on girlhood in America. In one piece she profiles two teenage girls: one poor and the other middle class. Their one commonality was feeling alone and misunderstood in a system hostile to them and their needs. In another, the author discusses the way girls must navigate a "princess culture" that infantilizes notions of "girl power" as it sexualizes it. Compelling and intelligent, Orenstein's book offers a powerful vision of the challenges of modern womanhood and of what it means to be female in 21st-century America.

Occasionally wonky but overall a good case for how the dismal science can make the world less—well, dismal.
by Abhijit V. Banerjee & Esther Duflo ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 12, 2019
"Quality of life means more than just consumption": Two MIT economists urge that a smarter, more politically aware economics be brought to bear on social issues.
It's no secret, write Banerjee and Duflo (co-authors: Poor Economics: A Radical Rethinking of the Way To Fight Global Poverty, 2011), that "we seem to have fallen on hard times." Immigration, trade, inequality, and taxation problems present themselves daily, and they seem to be intractable. Economics can be put to use in figuring out these big-issue questions. Data can be adduced, for example, to answer the question of whether immigration tends to suppress wages. The answer: "There is no evidence low-skilled migration to rich countries drives wage and employment down for the natives." In fact, it opens up opportunities for those natives by freeing them to look for better work. The problem becomes thornier when it comes to the matter of free trade; as the authors observe, "left-behind people live in left-behind places," which explains why regional poverty descended on Appalachia when so many manufacturing jobs left for China in the age of globalism, leaving behind not just left-behind people but also people ripe for exploitation by nationalist politicians. The authors add, interestingly, that the same thing occurred in parts of Germany, Spain, and Norway that fell victim to the "China shock." In what they call a "slightly technical aside," they build a case for addressing trade issues not with trade wars but with consumption taxes: "It makes no sense to ask agricultural workers to lose their jobs just so steelworkers can keep theirs, which is what tariffs accomplish." Policymakers might want to consider such counsel, especially when it is coupled with the observation that free trade benefits workers in poor countries but punishes workers in rich ones.

Bill Gates Shares His Summer Reading List
A moving meditation on mortality by a gifted writer whose dual perspectives of physician and patient provide a singular...
Pulitzer Prize Finalist
by Paul Kalanithi ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 19, 2016
A neurosurgeon with a passion for literature tragically finds his perfect subject after his diagnosis of terminal lung cancer.
Writing isn't brain surgery, but it's rare when someone adept at the latter is also so accomplished at the former. Searching for meaning and purpose in his life, Kalanithi pursued a doctorate in literature and had felt certain that he wouldn't enter the field of medicine, in which his father and other members of his family excelled. "But I couldn't let go of the question," he writes, after realizing that his goals "didn't quite fit in an English department." "Where did biology, morality, literature and philosophy intersect?" So he decided to set aside his doctoral dissertation and belatedly prepare for medical school, which "would allow me a chance to find answers that are not in books, to find a different sort of sublime, to forge relationships with the suffering, and to keep following the question of what makes human life meaningful, even in the face of death and decay." The author's empathy undoubtedly made him an exceptional doctor, and the precision of his prose—as well as the moral purpose underscoring it—suggests that he could have written a good book on any subject he chose. Part of what makes this book so essential is the fact that it was written under a death sentence following the diagnosis that upended his life, just as he was preparing to end his residency and attract offers at the top of his profession. Kalanithi learned he might have 10 years to live or perhaps five. Should he return to neurosurgery (he could and did), or should he write (he also did)? Should he and his wife have a baby? They did, eight months before he died, which was less than two years after the original diagnosis. "The fact of death is unsettling," he understates. "Yet there is no other way to live."
A moving meditation on mortality by a gifted writer whose dual perspectives of physician and patient provide a singular clarity.

We received a basket of tomatillos on Saturday, and I was excited because I had never used them before, but had always wanted to learn! They look like little green tomatoes in a flakey outer husk. I read a few recipes, and apparently you just pull off the husk and wash off the sticky residue before you cook with them.
Thanks to Runningwithtweezers for the recipe. I followed most of it and then used the solar oven to cook it.
Cook again and serve warm. It tastes great with avocado on top or garnished with more cilantro.
The recipe was easy and the cooking should have been, but it was overcast so my beans never cooked despite being out in the oven all morning. So I brought them inside and tried to cook them in the crock pot all afternoon and they were still hard, so my husband had to grab a can at the store on the way home.
Likewise, the soup got warm, but never hot, even though it was out in the oven all afternoon. In the end I brought it inside, stirred in the corn and beans, and finished it off in the microwave. I haven't looked at a weather forecast since we moved here (it's almost always hot anyway) but I think I'm going to have to start!
Rating: good. Soups can be a hard sell here since it's so hot already, but it was a cold day and the final soup was good and enjoyed even by the baby. Now if I can just get the hang of cooking with an eye on the weather!


Located in the Pioneer Village neighborhood this property is right off of Lewvan behind Lewvan which can get you almost anywhere you need to go in the city. There are multiple transit stiops nearby, and the closest school is Luther Collage. This property is within walking distance of the Pasqua Hospital.


San Francisco Agency McCann-Erickson worked in tandem with a ton of talent, including director Garth Davis of Anonymous Content and editor Angus Wall of Rock Paper Scissors, to release a playful ad for Xbox entitled "Cops and Robbers" - a monicker as whimsical as the spot itself. A52 is responsible for making complex visual effects and physical logistics look like a carefree leap off a building.
Here's a no-frills campaign that packs a mean punch. This series of ads for APAV gave us vertigo, then chills. The ad copy reads "As you can't feel what they feel, see what they see." Equally stark commercials are also circulating.
This Frisky Dingo plug for Scion is so awesome, we're willing to look past the fact of the car's ugliness and appreciate their magnanimous capacity to feed their own minions to Killface. We just love that long pause that happens between the words "PPO" and death.


Distinguishing Between Formal and Informal Requests to Relocate | Law Office of Alba & Yochim P.A.
Determining the approach to take in addressing matters associated with the relocation of a child will generally depend on the circumstances. You may have received a document in the mail, or otherwise been informed of a parent's or other person's desire or intention to relocate with a child. Examples of relocation-related correspondence include a formal petition to relocate, a motion requesting the modification of an existing order, a request to enter into written agreement to relocate, or any other verbal, written, or other communication suggesting, implying, or requesting the relocation of a child. If you have received a written request to relocate, it is important to determine the legal effect of such correspondence, by distinguishing between formal legal process and other types of relocation-related correspondence.
When a request for relocation involves formal legal process, and the recipient wishes to object to the relocation, a written response is necessary. It is important to know that there are statutory time limitations as well as other procedural requirements that must be adhered to in order to contest to relocation. Upon receipt of a document, which can be positively identified as legal process, the contents of such document should provide you with the statutory time limitations and procedures for submitting a response. If you are unsure as to the legal effect of a document received, or if you have question regarding how to properly assert your objection to relocation, it is important to discuss your matter with a family law attorney as soon as concerns arise.
In other cases, a document received may simply be a request to enter into an agreement for relocation. While the failure to respond to informal requests to enter an agreement to relocate, should not result in the waiver of one's legal rights, such requests often signify a parent's intent to seek relocation through formal means, such as petitioning the court, requesting a modification, or seeking ratification of a pending or existing agreement, judgment, or decree. Often, simply disregarding an informal request, will not make the matter go away. Likewise, verbal requests to relocate should also be given serious consideration, to ensure that you are adequately prepared in the event relocation is later sought through formal proceedings.
As a parent, or other person entitled to access or time-sharing with a child, it is your legal right to object to the relocation of a child. However, the timing of an objection is often crucial in successfully challenging a request to relocate. While, careful attention should always be taken to ensure adherence to statutory time limitations in the case of formal relocation requests, it is also necessary to consider the timing of addressing relocation issues in general, in terms of your overall desires and expectations associated with your legal entitlement to time-sharing with or access to a child.
Therefore, when any concerns arise over relocation, even those extending from an informal request or a parent's suggestion of a possible relocation, it is better to take a proactive approach as soon as concerns arise, by seeking legal advice from a family law attorney experienced in handling relocation matters. Our dedicated and aggressive team of Gainesville Family Law and Relocation Attorneys have handled numerous relocation cases, and wholeheartedly believe that access to your child is not only important to the child's interests, but is also your legal right.
