In the past few months, God has opened an amazing door of opportunity for HOH-Canada. By God's grace and in answer to many prayers, we've been able to secure a one-hour time slot on the Wawatay Radio Network between 1 and 2pm every Sunday!
The Wawatay Radio Network (Waawaate Nandotamowin) is a network of stations in northwestern Ontario that broadcasts news, talk, and sports, as well as local and popular music. Native languages and English are both heard, often mixed together. In many First Nations communities, the local WRN transmitter is the only station that can be heard clearly in their community.
Here's how the hour is being filled: Without Reservation and Nations One for Christ have a combined half-hour program that features Storyteller and an Ojibwe Bible reading program. Both are normally stand-alone programs which are a quarter-hour each and air separately on different stations. A few years ago, Storyteller was offered thirty minutes on the Manitoba native network. Since then, they have this 1/2 hour combined version that Wawatay is now airing along with our programming, The Voice of Hope.
One hour of programming on this network costs $225.00 each week, or $11,700.00 annually. For more information, feel free to contact us!

The Playlist #1 - Video Games We're Playing This Week!
Image courtesy of Awesomenauts developer.
Snagged this during the Steam Summer Sale for silly cheap and it has not disappointed. It's rather unique with the platformer play and MOBA style upgrade/talent system that you can spend your in-game money on. There are 15 'Nauts you can choose from in the original game (the new expansion, Starstorm adds four more) and each bring a unique set of skills and abilities that cater to every playstyle. Being a ranged/sniper type, Raelynn is definitely my favorite 'Naut, she's got my kind of sense of humor and attitude (her sniper is named Cuddles and her best line is "What do I feel when I shoot an enemy? Recoil…"). After being brutally wrecked in a few matches, I recently tried out a melee character named Gnaw. Basically he eats stuff and can place little plant spawns on the map, and while it may not sound game-breaking, it can really brutal depending on placement and which map you're on. Not my typical playstyle but it's AWESOME and fun, either way.

I mentioned Clockwork Empires on the last episode of Aercast (sniff), but I'm still doing my duty for Queen and Country. This game is still in it's Earliest Access stage for another week, and updates/fixes have been flying in frequently. There are still some bugs and kinks to work out, but it's fun even in it's current form. Imagine a Steampunk version of The Sims, with a great sense of humor, the eventual inclusion of supernatural forces and fish people.
I've been playing Hearthstone on PC since the open beta and I have to admit, I've been playing a lot of it. This free to play strategy card game from Blizzard is quick, fast paced, and easy to learn. Featuring 9 different Blizzard heroes from various Warcraft games, players are pitted against each other with decks they customize from cards they unlock as they progress through the campaign, arena mode, and character levelling. Blizzard recently released the Curse of Naxxramas expansion with even more unique cards to earn and each week a new wing is opened allowing players to square off against 3 new bosses. Based on my experience, this really is a true free to play – not pay to win – game. Cards can easily be earned/unlocked in arena mode using in-game gold, and the Naxxramas wings can be unlocked using in-game gold as well. For the impatient, you can definitely put down real money to buy decks or unlock the new wings, but it isn't necessary in order to enjoy the game as the many deck variations can overcome almost any opponent you face – if you play your cards right. Can't wait for this to make it's way over to Android soon.
Image courtesy Child of Light developer.
I recently picked up an Xbox One and, while browsing around the digital storefront, came across this little gem. Child of Light is a gorgeous action & adventure RPG with platformer elements and unique puzzles that are sure to make you smile at their cleverness. The battles are semi-real-time and have standard RPG aspects such as attack, defend, potions, and magic attacks. What's really cool about the battles is the fact that you can manipulate the time between enemies' attacks using Igniculus, your elemental firefly companion, which adds a wholly different element of strategy to the game. If you love beautiful games with intently engaging storylines and very clever dialogue, Child of Light is sure to impress!
Image courtesy of Day of Defeat: Source developer.
My guilty pleasure goto game is Day of Defeat: Source. Long before I picked up any Call of Duty WWII games I was waging war on this game. Like Counter Strike, Day of Defeat was a mod to Half Life and garnered a pretty solid following when it came out. The shooting is aimed at realism and you'll notice it right off when you see the insane recoil on some of these guns. Playing as German or American offers two different experiences as each side has weapons that represent their side. Sniping is almost a relaxing pastime as most maps provide one or two really good sniping spots or nests of which to work from. The Source engline updates the graphics significantly and makes for a smoother and prettier experience in the Hell of War. So grab your stick grenades and Thompson machine gun and go kill some Nazi/Allied in the theater of World War II. I recommend finding "Avalanche" as a map. It's the 2Fort of DoD.

The Left Makes All These Shootings Political
RUSH: The police were sent to the home of this shooter, Mr. Cruz, 36 times. The FBI was warned two times. He was expelled from school. It is… Do you know that there's a leftist who tweeted out a series of tweets saying that this illustrates how adoption is a mistake? When a woman wants to abort a child, she knows there's a good reason. Instead of putting the child up for adoption, let the woman abort. If this kid had been aborted, this wouldn't have happened.
That is passing for reasoned discourses on the human sewer known as Twitter. So, anyway, police were sent to this guy's house 36 times. The FBI was warned two times. He was expelled from school. There were plenty of people who knew this guy's potential. They knew that he was unbalanced. They knew that he was seriously in bad shape. Despite all of that, what is the media making this about? They're making this about Trump and the NRA.
And whenever you start bringing the NRA into this, you politicize it, and anybody who thinks that the student marches are not political is missing the point. They are certainly political because you start bashing the NRA and blaming them — hello, politics — because what becomes the objective? The objective becomes the NRA and gun control, not solving issues or problems like this. Then you throw Trump into it; that's getting political.
It's not about solving the problem. Does anybody think that Trump would stand in the way of school marshals or private conceal and carry or agreeing with resignations from anybody at the FBI or local police? Would he stand in the way of that? Probably not. Leftists, progressives, Democrats, call 'em what you want; they are opportunists, and they are playing emotional-manipulative games with anybody they can get away with it — including, I think, some of the students, millions of other people — whipping people into a frenzy for the purposes of what?
Advancing a political agenda. Just like Ferguson, Missouri. Just like Baltimore. You know, if you want to talk about killing and people dying, you talk about Chicago and the murder rate there, but they won't let you bring that up. "Nope! You can't bring that up. That — that — that has nothing to do with it." It makes you wonder what the real objective is. There are ways to deal with this, and none of them are on the table.
And yet those ideas on the table are projected and portrayed as the only possible solutions. And it always is about what? Somehow reducing… Let me just tell you what the ultimate objective is. Let's just cut to the chase. The ultimate objective of the anti-NRA, pro-gun control crowd is one thing: The confiscation of every weapon owned in this country. That's nirvana, and anything short of that will not be satisfactory.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: A lot of people are emotionally attached to the Florida shooting. And I am too. I mean, I totally understand how emotion conquers reason — and in fact, it's quite natural. Emotion is the first thing that happens, the first thing you feel. Reason takes time. Reason is a very plodding, sometimes unexciting result that takes some application of time and thought, whereas emotion is just immediate. And most people trust their emotions.
Most people believe in them. Most people never stop to think their emotions would betray them, and most people do not give it a second thought that their emotions might be the result of manipulation. It's just the emotion is so powerful and so strong. So when you had an incident like we had, it's quite understandable the emotional reaction is "It's gotta stop! Why does it happen! It's gotta stop." And then when somebody agrees with your emotional reaction and proposes something along the lines of it, agreement is almost automatic.
Yet that's the process that repeats with no solution ever. And the definition, the obvious illustration of no solution is it keeps happening. It keeps happening over and over and over again. And if any of you doubt that this is entirely political on the part of the left, open your eyes. You may not want to. You may not want to go down that road. You may want to stay where your emotions are what comfort you, where your emotions are what guide you. Most people wish to do that, by the way.
Because, as I say, most people don't distrust their emotions. How many of you have heard — and it's been in the news — that the NRA trained the Florida shooter? Have you seen those stories? Well, they're out there, and they're all over social media. And they're put there by a bunch of leftists who are trying to politicize this and move forward their political agenda. They're not immersed in their emotion. Their emotion, if anything, is excitement over the possibility here.
Remember what Wayne LaPierre said way, way back in the nineties after such an event like this. He said, "I'm convinced that President Clinton is comfortable with a certain level of violence." That is one heck of a charge, folks. That is one heck of an allegation. I'm here to tell you that there was what you would think would be an expected, angry response to that from the Clinton White House or anywhere. Now, maybe it was because they don't want to spend any more time than necessary acknowledging the existence of the NRA or anything that might give credence to the NRA.
But I was stunned at the lack of angry response from the Clinton administration, Clinton himself and other supporters in the Drive-By Media. What LaPierre was saying was that there's a certain… We have a society. People die, people get killed, people have car accidents. Unfortunate things happen. You cannot stop death. You cannot stop accidents. You can't stop a number of things that cause people to die.
So LaPierre's point was there's a calculation made that a certain level of it is accepted because it helps advance an agenda. So when you see stories, "Florida Shooter Trained by the NRA." The Florida Gunman's Classmates Just Revealed the NRA Paid for his Marksmanship Training." "Florida Shooter Competed on NRA Marksmanship Team." ThinkProgress, a Bible in the American left: "The NRA Donated $10,000 to Help Train the Parkland Shooting Suspect to use a Rifle." The thing is, none of this is true. Not a word of it is true.
But it's all over social media, and I'll guarantee you many of the students at the high school have seen it, and they believe it. "Why, ThinkProgress wouldn't lie. The internet wouldn't lie." The internet is air and water to young people. The internet is their life. They have implicit trust in it. So you night conjure a picture with these headlines. "Florida Shooter Competed on NRA Marksmanship Team." "The Florida Gunman's Classmates Just Revealed the NRA Paid for his Marksmanship Training."
The students in a story "revealed the NRA paid for his marksmanship." So you would be forgiven if you conjure an image where the NRA is on campus and sponsoring marksmanship contests and training seminars — and that's exactly what they want you to think. But the NRA was nowhere near. The NRA had nothing to do with any of this. The NRA simply is not part of this story. The AP, by the way, is right in there promulgating this fake news.
Now, there was a marksmanship program at the school, but it was not run by the NRA. It was run by the Army Junior ROTC, and the guns were not rifles. They were air-powered pellet guns. Now, the NRA donated to the Army Junior ROTC to operate the program and to purchase equipment. But they didn't sponsor it. They didn't participate in it. They didn't teach anybody anything. They weren't on campus. Here's a paragraph or two:
"The troubled teen authorities say killed 17 people at a Florida high school excelled in an air-rifle marksmanship program supported by a grant from the National Rifle Association Foundation, part of a multimillion-dollar effort by the gun group to support youth shooting clubs and other programs. Nikolas Cruz, 19, was wearing a maroon shirt with the logo from the Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School when he was arrested Wednesday shortly after the shooting.
"Former JROTC cadets told the Associated Press that Cruz was a member of the small varsity marksmanship team that trained together after class and traveled to other area schools to compete." The story does not say the Army was running the training program. The story says the NRA was. The NRA was not there. Now, this is how emotions are manipulated. This is how fake news is planted and how it blooms and how it grows — and this is just one example.
In the meantime, social services investigated Nikolas Cruz two years ago. You look at the picture that everybody was able to put together of this guy after the event, and it makes you wonder: How did they know so much? You know what it reminded me of? Shortly after 9/11, they were able to give us the names and the six-month-previous timeline of all 19 hijackers. It blew my mind. The day after 9/11, we knew the names of all the hijackers.
We knew where they were from. We knew when they got into the country. We knew where they trained. We knew what they trained. We knew that they had gone to flight school. They didn't want to be taught how to land; all they wanted to learn was how to take off. We knew everything! But we didn't, for some reason, have the ability to realize what we knew or stop it.

Home Insights Cases & articles Test in Filtration Solutions' Product Development Centre or pilot plant?
Test in Tetra Pak Filtration Solutions' Product Development Centre or pilot plant rental?
Food producers are launching new products based on milk, whey, and plants at a high pace to match consumer trends. What is most optimal: testing at Tetra Pak or renting a pilot plant?
The key to success with product development is knowledge about the pre-treatment of the raw materials and about how the individual components of the raw material are separated with the greatest possible precision to be combined into new foods. Membrane filtration plays the main role in these processes.
To match the innovation pace of food producers, Tetra Pak Filtration Solutions has established a new product development centre in Aarhus, Denmark, in 2021, and at the same time increased its fleet of pilot plants that are rented to customers.
What to choose?
"The advantage of testing new solutions and products in our product development centre is that the food producer does not have to dedicate a lot of resources to the task," says Hanne Sørensen, Product Manager, Food and Beverage based Applications, PhD, who is leading several development projects within plant-based filtration solutions.
A test typically requires one month of preparation, while the trials run intensively over a week. Tetra Pak Filtration Solutions designs the test together with the food producer, handles the raw materials, performs the trials, and delivers the finished solution.
"Customers can choose how much they want to be involved in the trials. Either by being present in the product development centre and work with our experienced food technologists and engineers to develop the new products and adapt the production processes. Or they can participate virtually. Then, our employees run the trials themselves and send samples and data to the customer," she says.
Examples of tests are fractionation of milk and plant proteins, removal of bacteria, concentration of dry matter, recovery and concentration of proteins, and removal of minerals.
From idea to branding
Through Tetra Pak's international setup of product development centres and customer innovation centres, we help our customers with the entire process behind new product launches.
"In the product development centres, focus is on the technical solutions, while in the six customer innovation centres, which are located in Europe, the USA, and Asia, we develop the product concept; from idea to branding and launch, so that the product stands out on the shelves," she says.
The setup in the product development centre is adapted to each individual test. Having completed the test, Tetra Pak can dimension an industrial membrane filtration system.
"The time and resources that the customer saves in-house by letting us do the work is usually not a visible expense in the accounts. The only "disadvantage" for the customer by using our test centre is that money must be put on the table. The advantage is that we have many years of experience gathered in one place in running many different applications, just as we continuously test which membranes are best suited for which applications," explains Hanne Sørensen.
Rental pilot plants
Tetra Pak Filtration Solutions offers several types of easy-to-use pilot plants that food producers can use at their own premises. Including spiral wound membrane pilot plants, ceramic membrane pilot plants, and plate and frame pilot plants for a wide range of dairy or plant-based applications.
"Pilot plants are also a really good solution that allows customers to innovate and develop new products that they can bring to market and test changed process parameters," she says.
Tetra Pak ships the pilot plant to the location and delivers drawings of the system. If the company so wishes, Tetra Pak offers start-up of the pilot plant as well as training in using it. The food producer can then perform trials on its own raw materials with its own staff, and with its own packaging.
The results from the test can be converted to production on an industrial scale.
Food specialists
Anitha Rasmussen, Senior Application Technologist, and Hanne Sørensen, Product Manager, Food and Beverage based Applications, PhD, together with specialist teams from Tetra Pak Filtration Solutions help food producers design and carry out filtration trials within milk and plant-based foods.

In conventional presentations of random-dot kinematograms, two frames of random dots are presented in temporal sequence, separated by a blank inter-stimulus interval, and a coherent offset in spatial position is added to dots in one frame relative to dots in the other frame. Direction discrimination performance is limited temporally to inter-stimulus intervals below about 100 msec (T(max)). Experiments are described in which temporal smoothing was applied to the onset and offset of each frame in the kinematogram. T(max) was found to increase in proportion with the time constant of the temporal smoothing function. An explanation based on contrast-dependent responses in simple motion detectors cannot accommodate the results. Instead, the increase in T(max) with temporal smoothing, and analogous increase in spatial limit (D(max)) with spatial blurring, can be related to the spatiotemporal frequency content of the stimulus. Random-dot kinematograms can be viewed as continuously drifting patterns that have been discretely sampled at regular spatiotemporal intervals. Sampling introduces artefacts (alias signals), which become more intrusive as sampling rate declines (i.e. inter-stimulus interval or spatial displacement increases) and consequently limit discrimination performance. Temporal smoothing or spatial blurring extends performance because it removes alias signals generated by high spatiotemporal frequencies in the pattern. Computational modelling to estimate the Fourier energy available in random-dot kinematograms confirmed that the sampling account can predict the proportional increase in T(max) and D(max) limits as filter time or space constant increases.

#StayEngaged: Thank you for celebrating National Faith & Blue Weekend with us!
The Birmingham Police Department joined community members and faith leaders in celebrating the inaugural National Faith & Blue Weekend Oct. 9-12.
Over the course of the weekend, countless positive encounters occurred as officers enjoyed open dialogue and volunteer opportunities within the community they serve.
The events began Friday, Oct. 9 with a Virtual Community Dialogue that included a live panel discussion featuring the following guests: BPD Chief Patrick D. Smith, Jefferson County District Attorney Danny Carr, Jefferson County Bessemer County District Attorney Lynniece Washington, Judge Andra Sparks of the Birmingham Municipal Court, Brandon Johnson of the City of Birmingham's Office of Peace and Policy, Lawrence Billups of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #1, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama Prim Escalona, Firefighter Theresa Deleon of the Birmingham Fire & Rescue Service, Brandi Guthrie of Cop Stop and Pastor Eric Harris of Agape Worship Ministries.
During the panel, Chief Smith spoke two powerful words which became a mission statement for BPD: "Stay Engaged."
The panel explored and answered questions and topics involving race relations, mental health, community involvement and other legal issues. CBS 42's Art Franklin served as the moderator for the event and and members of the public were able to ask questions of their own via the station's live stream broadcast of the event.
On Sat. Oct. 10, BPD hosted a Community Food Giveaway in partnership with Church of the Highlands at the Sheraton Hotel located on Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd. Although it was a rainy morning, it was a successful event with countless volunteers joining BPD in organizing and distributing much needed food items to community members.
"We're not only officers, we're people," School Resource Officer Francesca Clark said. "It was our pleasure to serve them today in more ways than one, so it was very inspirational for me."
Later that afternoon, BPD joined prayer vigils at Holy Family Catholic Church in Ensley and 23rd Street Baptist Church in South Birmingham.
On Sun. Oct. 11, the School Supply Giveaway was hosted at the BPD Headquarters building located at 1710 1st Avenue North to give away 500 backpacks stuffed with supplies donated during BPD's school supply drive that ran from August to September. Titusville A.O.H Church of God in Christ, Cricket Wireless and Serving a Purpose Security Company partnered with BPD to help make the event possible.
Children and parents were invited inside BPD to meet the officers volunteering for the event.
"Well it's a wonderful experience because, after all, with our Birmingham Police Department and our law enforcement, just knowing that they are active, and we do support them, and this is an excellent plan that they're doing to show the community that they are engaged and we really appreciate that," A community member said.
Following the giveaway, a Virtual Youth Talk was held to allow community youth to engage in open dialogue with BPD. During the talk, Chief Smith requested that participants join BPD's goal to "stay engaged."
On Monday, the events wrapped up with a Virtual Community Concert. New Beginning Christian Ministry hosted the event.
Two members of BPD lent their voices to the event.
"I hope that tonight encourages people and lets everyone know that even though you go through difficult times, things will get better," Det. Erin Valentine-Fitzgerald said.
Officer Kiley Johnson also sang during the event.
"You just never know what a song can do for a person or how far it can go," Johnson said. "Me singing tonight, I just felt like maybe I could have possibly reached somebody and helped them get through a hardship that they're going through."


This will be a hodgepodge of issues, as usual, but more than usual, because I intentionally avoided all news while recharging my batteries. That made me blissfully and innocently uninformed, even happy, the way people living sane lives look to me.
First, on Ferguson, wiser people have written about the horrors of racism, the militarized police shooting an unarmed young teenager and then using tear gas on mostly peaceful protesters, the arrest of journalists and so on, as well as the tone-deafness of the local police forces until last night.
But it's still worth pointing out that if Ferguson's 21,000 inhabitants are two-thirds black, to get a police force of 53 officers with just three black officers suggests that the selection process is not a random one in the sense of the applicant pool consisting of a fair sample from the community. It takes more information than I have to analyze the reasons for that racial imbalance (is it straight racism, indirect racism, the reluctance of people of color to side with the "enemy" or what?), but surely the community efforts should be aimed at getting a more representative police force. A more representative city council is also necessary.
Professor of Molecular Evolution, Michael Gillings, believes that in our evolutionary past there was a hidden selective advantage to PMS, because it increased the chance that infertile pair bonds would dissolve, thus improving the reproductive outcomes of women in such partnerships.
"In the past, women had many fewer menstrual cycles than women in modern societies, because they did not have control over reproduction and were either pregnant or breastfeeding most of the time," said Gillings.
"Imagine that a woman was pair bonded with a sterile or infertile male. Then, even in the past, they would have had regular cycles. If women in these relationships exhibited PMS and this increased the likelihood of the pair bond dissolving, this would be a huge reproductive advantage.
Damn. There goes my evolutionary edge, because PMS is not something I've ever experienced.
More seriously, perhaps professor Gillings is correct. But perhaps he isn't. Not everything that exists does so because it was advantageous for evolutionary reasons, though I have read serious ruminations (in evolutionary psychology literature, natch) on the idea that suicide conveys evolutionary benefits! It only remains to prove those benefits.
It's pretty hard to find out if prehistoric women were continually pregnant or breastfeeding, by the way. Perhaps they were. But pregnancy can be a pretty hormonal experience for some women, right? According to Gillings, pregnancies might then have caused similar reasons to dissolve the pair bond. And then there's the possibility that menstruation might have been infrequent not only because of pregnancies and breastfeeding, but because women cease to menstruate below a certain body weight. If food was hard to get in those distant times, it could be the case that many women weren't menstruating that frequently.
And were people of the distant past pair-bonded in the first place? If so, were the women free to walk out of that bond or not?
A brave scientist has sought to answer a question that has baffled for centuries: why do women get premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?
When you combine that with the attached picture you get something very different from a neutral discussion of an article.
Maryam Mirzakhani was awarded the Fields Medal for her sophisticated and highly original contributions to the fields of geometry and dynamical systems.
"This is a great honor. I will be happy if it encourages young female scientists and mathematicians," Mirzakhani said. "I am sure there will be many more women winning this kind of award in coming years."
Mirzakhani is Iranian by birth. Iran's president supposedly tweeted congratulations to Mirzakhani. The tweet shows her picture both with and without a head scarf. More on that dilemma for Iranian newspapers here.
The vacation is over (sniff), but the letters I planned to write will be written now, and this one is all about the differences I spotted, in the order they happened.
Public toilets. The flushing mechanism can vary widely, and then you feel like a three-year-old figuring out that potty business: Proud when you get it right. And what's very nice are places which have the sinks for washing hands inside the cubicles, too. But mostly I was impressed by the hooks. When you travel you need strong hooks for the backpack and whatever else you have in the cabin of the plane, and the tiny, flimsy door hooks of the usual cubicles are worth zit in that context.
Imagine a largish letter U, flatten the base and then attach it to the wall from that flattened base so that the arms of the U flail out into the room, invitingly. If the flattened base is about three inches long, the hook can either take two bags, one on each flailing arm, or support a heavy backpack over both of them.
Such trivial things make life much easier. God is in details and Goddesses are in the micro-details.
Other travelers have told me stories about public toilets which are just holes in the floor. That takes good knees, but I didn't come across any to test mine (which are divinely flexible, naturally). And naturally I know nothing about the toilets for men (though in some places people used the toilets independently of gender-markings (women's icons have a dress with one leg hanging from the middle of it)) because the toilets were for just one person at a time.
All the toilets I saw were impeccably clean, by the way.
Those words make me sound like someone with a bad vacation diarrhea. The real reason is that when we fly we see lots of toilets in various countries, right? Toilets must stand for symbols of countries.
Incidentally, I hate the euphemism of calling toilets bathrooms, because taking a bath in the toilet bowl would be a disgusting experience and not on anybody's bucket list.
Or the idea that austerity is a good economic policy to get us rapidly out of recessions. Or the idea that austerity policies can be used as a disguise to dismantle the welfare states all over the world. Or the idea that austerity policies are good for us because we are all sinners and we deserve to be punished for those sins.
This post has links to theories which try to explain how austerity policies would work. I recommend reading those. The experience for the reader is of "the-emperor's-new-clothes" type.
I wrote about Roy Baumeister in 2012, because of the paper he then published together with Kathleen Vohs. It's worth coming back to his general work as it is a very important basic pillar of the belief systems among some of the angriest MRAs.
For example, I've recently read several comments explaining that civilization, roads, bridges, art and science all belong to men and so do corporations: Men, and men alone created them. For women to just demand entry into something they never contributed to (honest, that's what those guys believe: that women never worked, never gave birth or cared for children, never created art etc.) is the greatest unfairness ever.
All this is based on Baumeister's arguments. By the way, John Tierney of the New York Times eagerly disseminated them here and here.
For these reasons, it's useful to see what Baumeister's arguments are. The first post I wrote is here, the second here and the third here. A very important additional post about the idea that men have evolved more than women (which both Tierney and Baumeister implicitly support) can be found here.

The sun shone brightly as we headed towards the car park. It was lucky that we had a disabled badge, for every other space was taken with a vehicle. We got to the MediaCityUK in time for a coffee while David took advantage of the good weather to take some photographs.
Gradually a few familiar faces appeared, eventually followed by Judith. She marshalled us into order, took our names and directed us to the desk where we exchanged our names again for a badge to hang around our necks. Two charming young ladies, Lyndsey and Karen, took us down to the Tardis (right) where we were given the Health and Safety briefing before being led across a draughty roadway to Dock House. Unlike the old studios at Oxford Road, these studios are owned by Peel Holdings and were designed to the BBC's specifications although the Corporation just rents the space they need.
This is the home of Radio 6 Music, recently saved from the draconian axe of the cuts by the voice of its listeners and now enjoying an audience much larger than before. Shuffling through the Green Room we entered the studio where Giles Burton acted as presenter and Stella Pursell was the producer sitting in the chair opposite.(left) Most radio studios are dark boxes but this one is popular as it has a window for one of its walls and the presenters can watch the world go by and some peer back in. Apparently the Arctic Monkeys had been in recently and there was a drum kit left at the back. We were told how these days the presenters have a range of computerised aids which account for the apparent ease with which they introduce each number. However as well as the library of recorded sound effects they can call upon, a handbell and loudhailer were to be seen.
Retracing our steps to the first building we were shown the lettering on the wall "HQ2" and told "HQ1", the largest HD studio in Europe lay beyond. However we were destined for "HQ3", generally used for presenting Football programmes like Football Focus and Match of the Day. The studio was surprisingly spartan in its furnishing, but equipped with rather more lights than the average room (over 200) which are used to change the ambience between different programmes. Infra red sensors in amongst all those lights act like satellite navigation for the cameras so that computers can generate ghost like images for Gary Lineker to walk around while he presents.
Even such simple moves as changing the number of chairs on either side of the desk can make each programme appear completely different. The presenters and pundits are wired for sound using cables fed up the legs of their chairs. The leads are hidden under cooking foil and our guide Lyndsey annoys her husband by trying to spot the foil rather than on concentrating on the game!
From here we were led along a serpentine route (so some of us got lost) out into the sunshine. Passing a studio from which some sports news was being broadcast, (we could see this on the giant screen across the piazza) we continued to the building from which "Breakfast" an d NW News is broadcast.
The studio was much smaller than expected but packed with many cameras most of which are remotely controlled from an unseen room. They are fitted with wide angle lenses to disguise the true space and the presenters take small steps when they move to maintain the illusion. The cameras were all fitted with autocues normally controlled by the director but solo presenters can control the speed with an accelerator pedal.
While we were there the cameras were live and an unseen operator kept switching cameras to show pictures of us on the monitors. The weather presenters' spot is marked with a "W" on the floor. Karen, standing in front of a plasma screen, gave us a demonstration of how it's done.
Then on to a final mockup studio(right) where June Poole and Colin Cook presented the news and Mike Pursell provided an entertaining weather forecast using "Green Screen" technology. Earlier Lyndsey had wrapped herself in a loose sheet of this material and demonstrated its possibilities as an invisibility cloak.
Thanks again to Judith for another very enjoyable trip.

Das Neue Schloss Ettmannsdorf ist ein ehemaliges Barockschloss im heutigen Ortsteil Ettmannsdorf der oberpfälzischen Stadt Schwandorf (Ettmannsdorfer Straße 131). Die Anlage wird als Bodendenkmal unter der Aktennummer D-3-6638-0116 im Bayernatlas als "archäologische Befunde und Funde im Bereich des alten und neuen Schlosses von Ettmannsdorf, darunter die Spuren des zugehörigen Eisenhammers" geführt.

Geschichte
Die Geschichte des Schlosses geht angeblich auf das 13. Jahrhundert zurück. 1292 erwerben die Paulsdorfer Grundbesitz in Ettmannsdorf. Ein Chunrad Paulsdorfer soll 1296 hier ein Rittergut erbaut haben. Dieses wird im Bereich des Neuen Schlosses (die späteren Stallungen und Gebäude der Landwirtschaft) vermutet. Im herzoglichen Urbar von 1326 wird ein Otto, Diener des Weigel von Trausnitz, erwähnt, der den Vogtzins entrichtet. Den Hof neben der Kirche hat 1327 Herrmann Marschall von Naabeck inne. Zudem haben die Parsberger die Mühle in Ettmannsdorf besessen. 1347 sind Conrad Paulsdorfer von Haselbach und seine Frau Osanna die hiesigen Besitzer; auf diese folgt deren Sohn Niklas Paulsdorfer. 1412 ist Heimeram Nothafft von Wernberg der Inhaber von Ettmannsdorf, der den Besitz auf dem Heiratsweg über seine Frau Praxedis Paulsdorfer bekommen hat. 1419 sind Conrad VII. Paulsdorfer, ein Neffe der Praxedis, und 1422 Wilhelm Paulsdorfer hier begütert. 1423 wurden bei einem Besuch von Pfalzgraf Johann in Schwandorf der Burgfrieden von Ettmannsdorf abgesteckt und seitdem kann Ettmannsdorf als Hofmark gelten (siehe auch Altes Schloss Ettmannsdorf).

Ab 1650 sind die Rußwurms die Hofmarksherren von Ettmannsdorf. Erster aus dieser Familie ist Hanns Christoph Rußwurm Nachfolger wurde Peter Wenzel von Rußwurm, Truchseß und Pfleger von Hemau. Er war mit Rosina Sophia, Gräfin von Kreith, verheiratet. Er erbaute 1700 das Neue Schloss in Ettmannsdorf, das spätere Kloster "zum guten Hirten". Er selbst verstarb bereits 1705. Wolf Philipp von Rußwurm leistete am 18. Oktober 1706 die Landsassenpflicht († 1727). Ihm folgte sein Sohn Veith Ludwig von Rußwurm nach. Er war Forstmeister in Painten, Pfleger zu Hemau und Kapitän der Leibgarde. Dieser verstarb 1762 kinderlos in Mannheim. Dies war auch das Ende der Familie der Rußwurm auf Haselbach und Ettmannsdorf.

Durch Kauf kam die Hofmark dann an Karoline Franziska Dorothea von Parkstein. Diese war eine außerehelich geborene Tochter des Kurfürsten Karl Theodor von Pfalz-Bayern und der Françoise Després-Verneuil (eigentlich Bäckerstochter Franciska Huber aus Mannheim). Karoline von Parkstein besaß die Hofmarken Ettmannsdorf und Haselbach bis 1769. Am 27. Juni 1777 kaufte Max Karl Freiherr von Spiering († am 15. März 1787) auf Fronberg die beiden Hofmarken. Für den noch minderjährigen Sohn Carl Theodor von Spiering legte der Advokat Miltner am 19. Dezember 1778 die Landsassenpflicht ab, Carl Thodor konnte erst  ab 1804 die Hofmark übernehmen († am 21. Juni 1829 in Regensburg). Er war der letzte männliche Nachkomme der Familie von Spiering. Von ihm ist bekannt, dass er große Angst vor einem Scheintod hatte; deshalb ließ er sich im Schlosspark von Fronberg in einer Gruft mit Glasfenstern und in einem von innen zu öffnenden Sarg bestatten. Zudem mussten ein Feuerzeug zum Lichtmachen und einige Flaschen Wein bereitgestellt werden. Erst nach einiger Zeit wurde  die Gruft dann vermauert. Carl Theodor hinterließ drei Töchter: (1) Ida, verheiratet mit dem württembergischen Kammerherrn Graf Friedrich von Dillen; (2) Agnes, verheiratet mit dem königlich-bayerischen Kämmerer Graf Carl von Butler-Clonebough und Caroline, die den Besitz in Fronberg, Ettmannsdorf und Haselbach übernahm.

Caroline von Spiering heiratete 1831 den königlichen Kämmerer Karl Theodor Graf von Holnstein zu Schwarzenfeld (aus einer Bastard-Linie der Wittelsbacher stammend). Ihre Güter konnte die verheiratete Caroline von Holnstein selbst verwalten. Aus der Ehe stammt Graf Maximilian von Holstein, ein enger Vertrauter von König Ludwig II. Die Ehe wurde bereits 1836 "von Tisch und Bett" geschieden, aber erst 1857 durfte sie ihren Geliebten Wilhelm Freiherr von Künsberg ehelichen. 1859 ging der Besitz an diesen über. Mit ihm hatte Caroline vier uneheliche Kinder, die 1859 als "Künsberg, Freiherrn und Freiinnen von Fronberg" legitimiert wurden.

1861 kaufte ein Freiherr von Ziegler das Rittergut Ettmannsdorf, verkaufte es aber bereits 1866 an die Freiherrn von Podewils. Von 1866 bis 1992 war es dann im Besitz des Ordens der Schwestern vom Guten Hirten.

Neues Schloss Ettmannsdorf heute
Seit Max Karl Freiherr von Spiering wurde das Neue Schloss (von ihm 1777 erworben) nicht mehr bewohnt. D. h. das Schloss wurde auch nicht mehr gepflegt und die Bewohner von Ettmannsdorf plünderten den leerstehenden Bau. Nach dem Österreichisch-Französischen Krieg von 1796 wurde verwundete Österreicher in dem zu einem Lazarett umfunktionierten Schloss gepflegt.

Der Orden der Schwestern vom Guten Hirten richtete ab 1866 in dem heruntergekommenen Gebäude ein Kloster ein. Der Orden betrieb darin zunächst eine Anstalt für elternlose und verwahrloste Kinder. Die katholische Jugendfürsorge der Diözese Regensburg eröffnete 1981 im neuen Schloss eine Berufsschule zur individuellen Lernförderung und übernahm 1992 die gesamte Einrichtung. In den folgenden Jahren wurden Werkstätten für Holz, Metall und Farbe sowie eine Gärtnerei mit Gewächshäusern, eine Wäscherei, Wohngruppen für männliche Jugendliche und Freizeiträume mit Cafeteria, Töpferei, Grillplatz und eine Turnhalle geschaffen.

Noch heute befinden sich Gewölbegänge im Eingangsbereich, auch besteht noch eine das Anwesen umfassende Klostermauer und eine große Gartenlandschaft im hinteren Bereich.

Zimbabwe reopens borders
by Angie Scholtz | Feb 17, 2022
Zimbabwe has reopened its land borders to travellers who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or test negative for coronavirus. It follows a decline in the southern African nation's daily infection rates. Zimbabwe closed its border crossings in March 2020. They were briefly reopened in December for non-essential travel that year, but that led to a surge in cases. Only lorries and trucks carrying essential cargo into the landlocked country – and returning citizens – have been permitted in by road over the last two years. The restrictions have disrupted livelihoods across the region, with small traders unable to reach South Africa through Zimbabwe's Beitbridge border post. They come from as far north as the Democratic Republic of Congo and Malawi to buy goods.

Western political system gets a radical health check
By Mark Beeson Source:Global Times Published: 2020/3/22 17:33:41
A passenger wearing a face mask is seen on a bus in New York, the United States, March 16, 2020. (Xinhua/Wang Ying)
While the global health crisis may still have a long way to run, a number of things are already clear.
First, viruses are quintessentially transnational and don't care who they infect or what nationality they may be. Second, China seems to have done an impressive job of halting the spread of the pandemic. Third, other countries have been reluctant to learn some of the possible lessons the Chinese approach offers, not least because they are radically at odds with the values and political practices found in Western liberal democracies.
There is much to admire about the US and the individual liberties that are such a sacrosanct part of its national identity, at least in theory. In reality, however, life at the bottom of America's increasingly unequal society can be a grim struggle for survival. Clearly, America's social problems are likely to be thrown into even sharper relief by the current pandemic that is rapidly spreading throughout the country.
The simple reality is that many of the so-called working poor in the US have no access to medical care. They simply cannot afford it in a society where large, highly profitable pharmaceutical companies dominate the health sector. America's poor can't afford to take time off work to "self-isolate" either, making it highly likely that the coronavirus will spread even more quickly.
In the absence of effective and timely national leadership from President Donald Trump, who initially described COVID-19 as a "hoax," state governments are beginning to try and fill the vacuum by enacting radical forms of social control. San Francisco's response could have been lifted from the Chinese playbook.
But it's important to remember that Americans are entirely unused to governments of any sort infringing on their jealously guarded and constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. But what may be admirable political principles in good times may be obstacles to actions when things go bad.
There has been nothing like the current crisis for 100 years, so any President might struggle to get a grip on such an unprecedented challenge. But with Trump in charge, the problems of lack of preparedness, years of inadequate health funding, and a blithe disregard for the most disadvantaged members of society, are compounded by a leader who is clearly out of his depth.
The same profound ignorance and closeness to powerful economic interests characterizes Trump's approach to climate change, too, but the current crisis is even more revealing of his shortcomings.
The consequences of the incoherent, ad hoc, and initially dismissive approach to the crisis are becoming increasingly clear. A lack of basic medical infrastructure, an inability to test potential carriers of the virus, and an inability to monitor and assist the most disadvantaged members of society - many of whom have underlying health problems - will test more than America's health system.
The stock market has lurched erratically between fear and greed, adding to the dizzying and destabilizing atmosphere of crisis. In another telling vote of no confidence, ordinary Americans are also panic buying guns, an ominous development in a country which already has extraordinarily high rates of violent crime.
No doubt many - especially American readers - will think this is an unfair and exaggerated portrait of a nation being plunged into an entirely unprecedented crisis. I hope they are right. But the attempt to impose major restrictions on what Americans can and cannot do is unlikely to be welcome or - equally importantly - easily achieved. There is the potential for things to get very ugly in the Land of the Free.
The US is not alone in this, of course, as many countries are struggling to deal with a crisis that health experts have long predicted, but which everyone hoped would never arrive. In my own country, Australia, policymakers are floundering as they contemplate having to impose forms of draconian social control that are usually associated with authoritarian regimes.
While it is true that some Asian democracies such as Singapore and South Korea seem to have done an exemplary job of cracking down early on the problem, such mobilization has occurred in societies that still tolerate high levels of state "intervention." It is not clear whether governments in Australia will be able to replicate such policies, especially as politicians are not held in high esteem.
Although China's response has been impressive, it is too soon to declare victory or feel smug about the problems of the West. The dangers of a "second wave" of infections and the prospect of the largest economic down since the Great Depression mean that no country is out of danger yet. International cooperation is a vital part of trying to control this problem - and many others, of course. If it can be encouraged, there may yet be some positive consequences of an unprecedented threat.

"Tall, slender, austere, with features that were described as haunting and hypnotic, Akhmatova possessed a quiet reserve, combined with an unusual intensity, that early on attracted fellow artists. As Picasso changed the face of art, Akhmatova would revolutionize the poetic vision of her contemporaries, for it was she who introduced the laconic style of twentieth-century poetry that seemed to blend in with the modernist forces of her age. One of those writers on whom she cast her spell was Nicholas Gumilyov, a swashbuckling Hemingway type, an eminent literary figure in his own right, who became her first husband. On their honeymoon, they went to Paris in 1910, where they met Modigliani, with whom Akhmatova later had an affair, succeeded by other extremely close relationships with the likes of the composer Arthur Lourie and Osip Mandelstam. Akhmatova and Gumilyov's relationship was clearly strained from the start, and the two, in a love-hate style, tortured each other until their divorce in 1918. Only after Gumilyov was shot by the Bolsheviks in 1921 did Akhmatova realize how much he had meant to her." "Friend and protector of writers like Pasternak and Mandelstam in the 1920s and 1950s, she was so lionized by her intellectual peers that even when the Bolsheviks turned on her poetry, the authorities feared to harm or kill her. When Mandelstam, for example, was arrested. Akhmatova was in his apartment, and she did everything she could to save him, before he later went mad and died under mysterious circumstances in 1958. Unlike Mandelstam, Pasternak chose to compromise, and wrote an ode to Lenin and translated other poems to Stalin, becoming for a while the government's literary "golden boy"."
"While Akhmatova was spared the physical torture of others, her son, Lev, was arrested several times, the authorities believing that she could be tortured through her son's imprisonment. As an artist and mother, she reacted to her trauma by composing a cycle of poems about suffering called Requiem, now regarded as one of the greatest works of the twentieth century, but not published fully in the Soviet Union until 1987. Her other truly great work, Poem Without a Hero, was written from 1940 through 1960, partly during the time that she was expelled from the Writer's Union, a time when friends kept her from starving to death. It was then that she became, through the likes of Isaiah Berlin and others, the most striking symbol to the West of the complete and ruinous breakdown of Communism."--Jacket.

So, the latest article I was able to read on Shenyang on this website was from 2005. I figured I could let some others know that some things have changed in Shenyang since that last editorial. Especially, since 2008 and the Olympics are fast approaching.
Anyone who waits out the cool, windy autumn weather in Shenyang can't wait for that first snow. As soon as the old, dusty streets are sheeted in fresh snowfall, everybody rushes out to take photographs: for a moment, the city takes on a thin mask of beauty.

Q: How to get consistent ortools assignment results? The problem is to assign items into a few regions. Each item pairs have a crossing number, and the objective is to minimize the crossing of items across the regions. Each item also has a size and there is a limitation for the size of each region.
I am able to solve the problem with the following code, but I am getting different results every time. I would like to consistently get the same results.
I have tried to set "solver.parameters.random_seed = 1" but it does not work.
    import numpy as np
    from ortools.sat.python import cp_model
    import random

    num_items = 15
    num_regions = 3
    max_size = 600

    random.seed(1)
    matrix = [[random.randint(0,99) for _ in range(num_items)] for _ in range(num_items)]
    size_array = [random.randint(0,99) for _ in range(num_items)]

    # Model
    model = cp_model.CpModel()

    # Variables
    # x[a, b] is a matrix of 0-1 variables, which will be 1
    # if item a is assigned to region b.
    x = []
    for a in range(num_items):
        t = []
        for b in range(num_regions):
            t.append(model.NewBoolVar(f'x[{a},{b}]'))
        x.append(t)

    # y[a_i, a_j, b_i, b_j] is a matrix of 0-1 variables, which will be 1
    # if x[a_i, b_i] = 1 AND x[a_j, b_j] = 1
    y = []
    for a_i in range(num_items):
        t1 = []
        for a_j in range(num_items):
            t2 = []
            for b_i in range(num_regions):
                t3 = []
                for b_j in range(num_regions):
                    p = model.NewBoolVar(f'y[{a_i},{a_j},{b_i},{b_j}]')
                    t3.append(p)
                    x1 = x[a_i][b_i]
                    x2 = x[a_j][b_j]
                    model.AddBoolOr([x1.Not(), x2.Not(), p])
                    model.AddImplication(p, x1)
                    model.AddImplication(p, x2)
                t2.append(t3)
            t1.append(t2)
        y.append(t1)

    # Constraints
    # Each item is assigned to 1 region.
    for a in range(num_items):
        model.Add(sum([x[a][b] for b in range(num_regions)]) == 1)

    # Each region total item's size less than max_size.
    for b in range(num_regions):
        model.Add(sum([x[a][b]*int(np.ceil(size_array[a])) for a in range(num_items)]) <= max_size)

    def crossing(b_i, b_j):
        objective_terms = []
        for a_i in range(num_items):
            for a_j in range(num_items):
                objective_terms.append(y[a_i][a_j][b_i][b_j] * int(np.ceil((matrix[a_i][a_j]+matrix[a_j][a_i]))))
        return objective_terms

    # Objective
    # Each item pairs has a crossing value
    # Minimize the crossing across regions
    objective_terms = []
    objective_terms.extend(crossing(0, 1))
    objective_terms.extend(crossing(1, 2))
    objective_terms.extend(2*crossing(0, 2))
    model.Minimize(sum(objective_terms))

    # Solve
    solver = cp_model.CpSolver()
    solver.parameters.num_search_workers = 8
    solver.parameters.random_seed = 1
    status = solver.Solve(model)
    print("Status = {}".format(solver.StatusName(status)), flush=True)

    # Print solution
    if status == cp_model.OPTIMAL or status == cp_model.FEASIBLE:
        print(f'Total cost = {solver.ObjectiveValue()}', flush=True)
        for b in range(num_regions):
            print("Region {} :".format(b), end='', flush=True)
            total_size = 0
            for a in range(num_items):
                # Test if x[a, b] is 1 (with tolerance for floating point arithmetic).
                if solver.BooleanValue(x[a][b]):
                    total_size += size_array[a]
            print(" Total size of items are {} ".format(str(total_size)), flush=True)

Result 1:
Status = OPTIMAL
Total cost = 1274.0
Region 0 : Total size of items are 581
Region 1 : Total size of items are 90
Region 2 : Total size of items are 0

Result 2:
Status = OPTIMAL
Total cost = 1274.0
Region 0 : Total size of items are 0
Region 1 : Total size of items are 90
Region 2 : Total size of items are 581

A: Setting num_search_workers = 1 works, thanks!


I have had a lot of different jobs, from selling beds to shelving books and even flipping burgers. I have had a lot of jobs partly because I'm still working to find my niche, partly because flipping burgers pays significantly less shelving books. As a writer I've found my work environments have influenced my writing and helped me to build useful relationships.
It took me years of work to realise what I wanted to do with my life and even now that I'm an author, I'm also a partner in my own publishing house and a librarian! Would I like to be just one thing? Yes. Do I know what that would be? Well… also yes but it took me years of solid work to realise how much wanted to do what I want to do and how important it was to commit.
So don't be too concerned if your first job is not exactly what you wanted. It's a rare case to find someone who is in the job they will occupy for life, particularly at an early age. Keep working and you'll find your niche.
Don't starve for your art, it's a little clichéd and a lot irresponsible. Think about it, if you're living and not working someone is paying for it. Don't you think they would like to explore their artistic side, don't they deserve happiness? Yes they do, so don't rely on others, earn your own dough.
When you work you get into good rhythms and figure out the best way for you to work, at your job and at your writing. Work for a while and you will start to figure out how to find the time you need to do things you want as well as the things you need. Really useful when you need to edit you own work or meet an important deadline.
The best part about being out in the wide world is you get to meet people who you wouldn't normally hang out with. Some of the best friends I have made have come from some of the 'worst' jobs because you can't hide who you are in a less than ideal situation.
Not only does meeting different people grow your social circle and build you networks. The people you meet can inspire the characters that you write about. I've met my characters at bus stops, on the other side of a counter and even flipping burgers. Meeting these people in person doesn't just help you to build a character profile it helps you empathise with them on a personal level. This will come across in your writing.
Everyone has to work at some stage in the life and a lot of the work you do, won't be satisfying. A lot of authors have had to work odd jobs: William Faulkner is said to have written 'As I lay dying' on quiet night at the office, Jack Kerouac was dishwasher, Franz Kafka was a clerk and Agatha Christie worked as an assistant to apothecary.
The thing about work, is you need to adapt yourself to your organisations goals, sometimes your ideas will be accepted and praised, sometimes they will be rejected. Dealing with rejection is important, because you will face it often in your artistic career. Better to learn how to take rejection while you're being paid then getting rejected for free.
Remember, it's important to keep perspective, if you've worked your fill and just want to write, do it, you've earned your chance to fulfill your potential. But you if you haven't worked much and need some perspective doing a job is a great place to start.
I wrote poetry as a storeman packer and later as a teacher! This helped me cope with the drudgery of both occupations. I still write today even as someone who is self employed (feel feel to substitute old and on the poverty line) Surroundings determine our focus as writers comes down to will you write in favor of what you see in the present or what you hope will be?
