Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused McDougal of extortion last December.
Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model who claims to have had an affair with President Donald Trump, is suing Fox News for defamation.
The Washington Post notes that McDougal's story was purchased by the National Enquirer for $150,000. But instead of publicizing her claims, the Enquirer quickly buried them.
As the Post reports, the close relationship between Trump and the Enquirer's owner prompted speculation that the president had arranged or otherwise been party to the payment.
Filed in a New York state court, the lawsuit accuses Fox host Tucker Carlson of acting with "reckless disregard for the truth." The complaint highlights several of Carlson's remarks, spoken aloud during a December 2018 episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight.
On his show, Carlson implied that McDougal victimized the then-presidential candidate.

Carlson said the former Playboy playmate had "approached Donald Trump and threatened to ruin his career and humiliate his family if he doesn't give them money."
However, the lawsuit accuses Carlson of being intentionally deceptive.
"This statement is completely untrue and was made knowing it was untrue and with reckless disregard for the truth," the suit states. "McDougal never approached Trump and threatened to ruin his career or humiliate his family if he did not give her money."
McDougal claims that her reputation was damaged due to Carlson's comments. Furthermore, she says that, had Fox News or Carlson performed even a cursory investigation, they'd have realized she never attempted to extort the president.
"Had Carlson done any investigation or responsible reporting or journalism, he would have easily discovered that what he and Fox News published about McDougal was and is demonstrably false," the suit says. "Fox News' publication was grossly irresponsible, made with […] actual malice."
While Fox has vowed to "vigorously" defend its case in court, McDougal's attorney says the news network needs to learn a lesson.
"Media outlets like Fox News must learn that they can't mislead for ratings," said attorney Eric Bernstein. "They hurt real people like Karen McDougal when they do so."
The Washington Post notes that a secretly-made recording—released just last year—captured a conversation between President Trump and his former attorney, Michael Cohen. In it, the two discussed whether they should buy the rights to McDougal's story.
While the conversation leaves some ambiguity as to whether Trump had acted proactively, Carlson's spin made it sound as if McDougal approached him with threats and an eye on money.
"After listening to or watching the Show, a reasonable viewer would have concluded that the statements made about McDougal were fact," the lawsuit states, "and that she is a criminal that engaged in illegal activity against the would-be President of the United States."
The complaint adds that, despite Carlson's claims and Fox's defense, Trump himself has never corroborated the extortion story.
"No matter which version of Trump's statement one believes, Trump never once claimed he was extorted by McDougal," the suit says.

A Little Harmless Pleasure
Geschrieben von: Melissa Schroeder
Gesprochen von: Juliana Solo
Kategorien: Erotik, Literatur & Belletristik
A night of forbidden pleasures leads to more than either of them expected.
Cynthia Myers meets Chris Dupree at her former fiancé's wedding. After a little dancing and champagne, she ends up back in Chris' hotel room for one night of down-and-dirty sex. That's it, that's all. He lives far away, and she has other things to do...like get a life.
Chris is a switch. He likes to dominate, but he also likes to play the role of a submissive from time to time. His last relationship with a sub turned nasty, and since then, he has shied away from anything but straight vanilla sex. When he meets Cynthia, he finds a woman who could change his mind. His mate. The only problem is he has to convince her.
In a carefully orchestrated seduction, Chris teaches Cynthia about submission and dominance, allowing her to take the reins. As he leads her through pleasures she thought she'd never experience, Cynthia's self-confidence soars, and she finds herself falling in love with him. But when he asks for submission in the bedroom, can she surrender to prove her love, or was it all about a little harmless pleasure?
Warning: The following audiobook contains: lots of sex, of course, bondage and submission done in a tasteful but wonderfully arousing way, propositions from a drunken woman, hot phone sex, Southern accents, Hawaiian scenery, and oh my, a M/F/M ménage that will send tingles all the way to your toes, along with other various body parts. A glass of ice-cold water for refreshment is recommended while listening.

Als Herrschaftsarchitektur bezeichnet man Bauten, die in ostentativer (herausfordernder) Weise politische, militärische und religiöse Herrschaft zum Ausdruck bringen. Diese symbolische Darstellung von Macht findet in der Regel durch besondere Höhen- und Größenentwicklung des Bauwerks selbst und dominierende Lage (etwa auf einem Hügel, als Endpunkt einer Sichtachse etc.) statt.

Herrschaftsarchitektur ist in vielen Epochen nachzuweisen, von der Antike bis zu den weltlichen Repräsentationsbauten des barocken Absolutismus (vorbildlich war hier das Schloss Versailles) sowie bei diversen Großkirchenbauten (Petersdom in Rom, orthodoxen Alexander-Newski-Kathedralen im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert, der Basilika Sacré-Cœur, Paris). Charakteristische Einzelelemente sind oftmals monumentale Triumphbogenmotive, Säulenreihen in Kolossalordnung, rustizierte Sockelgeschosse oder wuchtige Gebälkzonen.

Bekannte Beispiele von Herrschaftsarchitektur sind die gebauten oder Projekt gebliebenen Großbauten der Diktaturen des 20. Jahrhunderts:
 Welthauptstadt Germania, Führersperrgebiet Obersalzberg, Sonderauftrag Linz, Neue Reichskanzlei und Reichsparteitagsgelände (alle im Deutschen Reich)
 Sieben Schwestern (Moskau) und Sowjetpalast (in der Sowjetunion)
 Siegesboulevard und Parlamentspalast (in Rumänien)
 Verkehrsministerium Tiflis (Georgien).

Aufgrund ihres besonderen, oft als provozierend empfundenen Symbolcharakters ist Herrschaftsarchitektur unmittelbar nach verlorenen Kriegen der Bauherren und nach politischen Umstürzen besonders gefährdet und wird zuweilen abgerissen. Dieses Schicksal erlitten die Alexander-Newski-Kathedrale in Warschau sowie in Berlin die Neue Reichskanzlei und der Palast der Republik.

Spooring by Patrick Barron
The interconnected texts in Spooring have their origin in a slow journey down the Apennine Mountains in central and southern Italy over the course of a number of months. The genre is mixed. Poems trade places with short prose passages and transcriptions of road signs. Footnotes interrupt throughout, tempting fragments and byways. There are also a number of photographs and maps. The project is inspired in part by Robert Smithson's idea that "language should find itself in the physical world, and not end up locked in an idea in somebody's head," and also the corollary—that the physical world can find itself in language. Any text risks fossilizing ideas, and perhaps all the more so texts that take as their inspiration the physical world, since the overpowering immediacy of certain places tends to trick us into believing that language generated in response or dialogue will remain somehow authentic to those places. And the heady state of the cross-country walker is vulnerable to corruption, to believing that an empathetic dialectic with the physical world is translatable. To connect ideas to matter, thoughts to place, through language engaged with language. Not a fixed relief map, but a moveable index of small traces, tracks, words, and images, messages half-dismantled, enough to begin a paragraph or stanza, but not necessarily to finish.
ISBN:978-1-950730-33-9
The sharp energy of this poem, as it roams Italian mountains, calls us to our senses – as well as to sensory delight in a world of cicadas, juniper, barrelling clouds, the 'taste / of furzy space'. This is also a social, peopled landscape, full of signs, its many rhythms reflected in cuts and swerves through poetry, images and prose. Footnotes, inventively deployed as a parallel stream of attention, take the form of 'Roads grafted /onto other roads' that hook the route of the poem into the multiple universes of other texts, so that the impression is of travelling sideways, outwards and through one dimension and into others. It's in these traces of interlocking lives, and in the looping paths of understanding between them, that Spooring transforms images of rural locality, discovering the potential for new collectivities and encounters. --Zoë Skoulding
Part transposed Basho heading south not north, part site specific artist loosing language from the material world's medias res, Patrick Barron's Spooring is a caress down the spine of the Apennines, weaving its way into song. Both travelogue and commonplace book, a landscape of quotations and a quotation of landscape, this major long poem samples the silence of ancient rock, improbably preserved alpine forest, the glinting eyes of our human and nonhuman kin. Sit back weary reader/traveller—your guide is ready to sing a mountain song, an incomparable melodia dolce to take you to "that place / within / pacings' / meditation."
—Stephen Collis
In the interstices artfully assembled in Patrick Barron's Spooring, the "smack of the infinite" peeps out with evident appetite and curiosity. Although it appears to be a book, Spooring is less text than textile, interweaving lore, observations, terrestrial coordinates and bibliographic ruminants in a carefully layered fabric all its own, in the manner of riprap. An enthralling journey by a welcoming mind.
--Jed Rasula
Patrick Barron's Spooring is a radical act of attention. In sinuous poetry and lucid rushes of prose, he tracks the Apennines in vivid granularity, pulling us forward to the next crumbling farmhouse, methane pipeline sign, or meal shared with a stranger. A polyphony of shelter and exposure, love and degradation, isolation and strange fellowship, his hybrid form is seduced by the berm and rooted the genius of the body, from "dust-caressed rocks" to insects who "spawn across the yawning/ sidereal stone expanse." "Everything here/so precarious" he tells us, and yet with a "a little bit of sweat," we can learn to trace "a bliss that so playfully/painfully/ scampers off/again and/again."
—Karen Leona Anderson

2021 NHL Draft
Hughes' Childhood Helped Make Him A Top Prospect
Forward is rated at the best North American skater heading into the 2019 draft
by Niki Ardebili / ColoradoAvalanche.com
ColoradoAvalanche.com is profiling draft-eligible prospects leading up to the 2019 NHL Draft in Vancouver on June 21-22. Forward Jack Hughes is the No. 1-ranked North American skater in NHL Central Scouting's final rankings. The Avalanche has the fourth and 16th overall selections in the first round of the draft.
Jack Hughes had a unique upbringing that helped the left-shooting forward develop skills that have dominated the competition the past two seasons.
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound center finished his tenure with the United States National Team Development Program as its all-time leader in scoring after he recorded an impressive 228 points (74 goals and 154 assists) in 110 games from 2017 to 2019.
Hughes' impressive skills have brought high praise for an 18-year-old that has not played a minute of professional hockey. However, he has proven that he is deserving of the attention.
Born in Orlando, Florida, Hughes was exposed to hockey from birth by his American parents Jim and Ellen. His parents were well-versed in the hockey world, as Jim is a former coach and executive while Ellen played collegiately at the University of New Hampshire and won a silver medal on the USA squad at the 1992 Women's World Championship.
Jim was finishing up his position as an assistant coach with the Orlando Solar Bears of the International Hockey League at the time of Jack's birth on May 14, 2001, but the family soon relocated to Boston when Jim took an assistant coaching job with the Bruins. Two years later, the family moved to New Hampshire when Jim began a three-year stint with the American Hockey League's Manchester Monarchs that featured two seasons as an assistant and one as the head coach.
Finally in 2006, the Hughes family settled down in Toronto where Jim became an assistant for the Maple Leafs' AHL team, the Toronto Marlies, and later the Leafs' director of player development.
Toronto was where Jack started to find his passion for hockey. He played not only on local outdoor rinks but also in his basement with older brother and current Vancouver Canucks forward Quinn Hughes.
"Hockey was in my blood, I think I was born to be a hockey player. I spent so many hours skating and playing mini-sticks, I think it was just meant to be," Hughes said in an interview with NHL.com.
Video: Hughes speaks about busy week at Scouting Combine
While he is known to be an extremely well-rounded player, Hughes is often credited for his skating abilities that can be traced back to his parents who had their sons on the ice before they were the age of 2.
Ellen stressed the importance of technique while Jim focused his attention on the importance of generating power on edges.
"We were always massive proponents of two hands on the stick, so they're pushing with their lower body following their stick, and their shoulders were in the right direction when they were turning," Ellen said to NHL.com.
"They wore protection so that everything could be done at full speed. That's what got them to trust their balance in getting the weight from one leg to the other without worrying about getting hurt."
Jack and Quinn also have a younger brother, Luke, who completes the Hughes family's hockey trifecta. Luke is currently a defenseman for the NTDP and could also be a first-round selection in the 2021 draft. If that were to happen, the result would be a historic achievement as no American family has ever had three brothers selected in the first round of the NHL Draft.
In 2017, the Hughes family moved to Michigan and Jack faced one of the biggest decisions in his young career, play major junior in Canada or keep his NCAA eligibility. Instead of playing for the Mississauga Steelheads in the Ontario Hockey League, Jack chose to take after Quinn and further his skills by playing for the U.S. NTDP in Plymouth, Michigan.
In Hughes' two seasons with the NTDP, the center set major milestone records. This past season alone, he totaled 34 goals and 78 assists in 50 total contests while captaining the under-18 squad. In 24 United States Hockey League games, Hughes recorded 48 points (12 goals and 36 assists).

During his time in Plymouth, Hughes also competed internationally as he skated for Team USA at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, IIHF U18 World Championship twice, IIHF World Junior Championship (under 20) and IIHF Men's World Championship.
He played in each of the latter three tournaments this past season, beginning with earning a silver medal at the World Juniors in December and January. Not only was he the youngest player on the under-20 team, but Hughes was also ranked eighth among all tournament skaters with four assists in four games.
In April, he accompanied 20 of his NTDP teammates at the U18 World Championship in Sweden and finished with a tournament-high 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) and a bronze medal after the Americans defeated Canada in the third-place game. Hughes set a tournament record with 32 points (14 goals, 18 assists) in 14 games over the course of two years at the event (2018, 2019).
A month later, Hughes spent his 18th birthday playing with the men of Team USA at the IIHF World Championship in Slovakia. He even made history by becoming the youngest U.S. player ever at the event. Averaging 13:52 of ice time, Hughes tallied three assists in seven contests.
USA Hockey assistant executive director of hockey operations and former NHL goalie John Vanbiesbrouck said Hughes is one of the most courageous players he's ever seen.
"The way he can create speed through the neutral zone, enter the zone at top speed and make decisions at that speed... I don't want to get into player comparisons, but he has a unique ability to weave and see things that few can," Vanbiesbrouck said to NHL.com. "I've seen him take the puck in between big players and get to the front of the net; he's not afraid."
When asked about potentially becoming the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, Hughes told NHL.com that "it'd be a dream come true. I want to be the first player chosen and be the best player in the draft. I feel like I'm in a good position. I think every kid that's draft eligible and whoever thought about the draft, wants to go as high as he can and wants to be the No. 1 kid chosen."

Evolution and Climate Change to Be Taught in Alabama Classrooms
Starting next year, students in Alabama will be required to learn about evolution and climate change—a move that upends the state's decade-old science standards.
As reported in the Associated Press, public school students will be required to understand the theory of evolution, along with the rudiments of climate change, which wasn't set as a science standard back in 2005 when the guidelines were last revised. The changes come as part of a larger set of reforms, which will see more experimentation and hands-on instruction, with a decreased emphasis on lecturing.
Students won't be required to actually believe in evolution or human-instigated climate change. But exposure to the science and the scientific method is undoubtedly the best way to get students to think critically and independently about such matters.
Surprisingly, the new standards, which were developed by a 40-member committee, were unanimously approved by the Republican-controlled Alabama State Board of Education this past Thursday. No one spoke against the reforms when they were debated this past August, the AP reports.
The old standard stated that students "should understand the nature of evolutionary theories," but did not make it a requirement. The new measure goes a bit further:
The theory of evolution has a role in explaining unity and diversity of life on earth. This theory is substantiated with much direct and indirect evidence. Therefore, this course of study requires our students to understand the principles of the theory of evolution from the perspective of established scientific knowledge. The committee recognizes and appreciates the diverse views associated with the theory of evolution.
It's an amazing step forward for Alabama, but there's still room for improvement. Science textbooks used in Alabama classrooms still have a disclaimer sticker on them stating that evolution is a "controversial theory," and not fact. The new measures don't speak to these stickers, but a committee will be meeting in November to review science texts, at which time the sticker issue will be discussed.

I think the second thing we need to do is drop the word "theory" forever and never use it again. There's too much baggage associated with it, and too much misunderstanding of what it means.
But the first thing we need to do is pound into some heads that Evolution Is. A. Fact. It is an observation. It is data. It is something we can see, record, describe accurately, and repeat our observations ad nauseam and it always looks the same.
This is the problem with evolution deniers. They confuse the "Theory" of evolution with the fact of it. Darwinian Evolutionary Theory very accurately describes the observed FACT of evolution. This is what confuses them. In their minds, because evolution contradicts what the creepy pastor taught them in Sunday school, evolution cannot be a fact. In spite of the overwhelming evidence. Because they can't refute the evidence, (without resorting to "The Bible Says!") they attack the description of the evidence. "It's only a theory."
No. Evolution is a fact. Or else tuberculosis would still respond to penicillin, and a Pug (useless animal) would not exist.


The provocative contention of the postmodernist and feminist essays in Ethics of the Body is that conventional bioethics is out of touch, despite its growing profile. It is out of touch with an ongoing phenomenological sense of bodies themselves; with the impact of postmodernist theory as it problematizes the certainties of binary thinking; and with a postmodern culture in which bioscientific developments force us to question what is meant by the notion of the human self. The authors demonstrate that the conventional normative framework of bioethics is called into question by issues as wide ranging as genetic manipulation, disability, high-tech prosthetics, and intersexuality. The essays show how both the theory and practice of bioethics can benefit from postmodernism's characteristic fluidity and multiplicity, as well as from the insights of a reconceived feminist bioethics. They address issues in philosophy, law, bioscientific research, psychiatry, cultural studies, and feminism from a "postconventional" perspective that looks beyond the familiar ideas of the body, proposing not a bioethics about the body but a radical ethics of the body.After exploring notions of difference in both feminist and postmodernist terms, the book considers specific issues -- including HIV, addiction, borderline personality disorder, and cancer -- that challenge the principles of conventional bioethics. The focus then turns to questions raised by biotechnology: one essay rethinks the traditional feminist ethics of care in the context of new reproductive technology, while others tackle genetic and genomic issues. Finally, the book looks at embodiment and some specifically anomalous forms of being-in-the-body, including a consideration of intersex infants and children that draws on feminist, postructuralist, and queer theory.
"A remarkable group of essays that use postmodern thought to deconstruct conventional bioethics, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Shildrick and Mykitiuk succeed in convincing readers that for all its difficulties, postmodern thought is probably best suited to confront humanity's growing awareness of human difference. This book will be a significant contribution to bioethics." Rosemarie Tong, Department of Philosophy and Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, University of North Carolina at Charlotte "Rather than merely applying established concepts of ethics to biomedical problems, Ethics of the Body puts the field of ethics itself in question. These essays demonstrate how the challenges and crises posed by advances in biomedicine require nothing less than new concepts of moral agency and responsibility beyond the conventional models of consequentialism, deontology, and virtue. Drawing on diverse resources phenomenology, Derrida's thought of differance, Foucault's critique of power, and Irigaray's radical feminism the contributors inaugurate a critical reconfiguring of the ethical subject, while at the same time they offer concrete and original approaches to particular moral problems in medicine and biotechnology. Anyone working in ethics or bioethics needs to confront the conceptual and practical challenges posed by this volume." Mary C. Rawlinson, Department of Philosophy, Stony Brook University "Rather than merely applying established concepts of ethics to biomedical problems, *Ethics of the Body* puts the field of ethics itself in question. These essays demonstrate how the challenges and crises posed by advances in biomedicine require nothing less than new concepts of moral agency and responsibility beyond the conventional models of consequentialism, deontology, and virtue. Drawing on diverse resources -- phenomenology, Derrida's thought of *differance*, Foucault's critique of power, and Irigaray's radical feminism -- the contributors inaugurate a critical reconfiguring of the ethical subject, while at the same time theyoffer concrete and original approaches to particular moral problems in medicine and biotechnology. Anyone working in ethics or bioethics needs to confront the conceptual and practical challenges posed by this volume."--Mary C. Rawlinson, Department of Philosophy, Stony Brook UniversityPlease note: The word differance should have an acute accent over the e and should be italicized.

A World With Little Worlds
Because One World is Never Enough
How to Decide on a Costume (for Purim, Halloween, etc.)
Happy February everyone!
This is an off-topic post that has nothing to do with language learning at all. Sorry! But perhaps I should actually write more of these.
So a holiday or theme party is coming up and you know that you want to dress up as SOMETHING, but you can't exactly decide what.
This serves to document my personal process of how to come up with WHAT costume I should pick, not necessarily how I should assemble it (luckily, as of the time of writing, one of my best friends is about to get an advanced degree in Fashion and so he will be helping me put my Purim costume together this year!)
WHAT MY COSTUME SHOULD BE:
I usually want it to be a particular character rather than just "a class" (e.g. J.P. Morgan rather than just "a robber baron"). I can make an exception for this if the class is considerably distinctive.
No cultural appropriating (my personal heritage is okay, so in high school I've done Viking costumes).
Props are good
Colors are good
Lots of attention to detail.
Having the "homemade look" is not only acceptable but encouraged (especially for Purim which is wacky enough as is).
The primary goal should not be to have other people recognize your costume. It's great if they do, but don't have it be the primary focus. Playing towards your own tastes works wonders.
Comfortable, or at the VERY LEAST can be comfortable with removable pieces (e.g. I can take headwear off and I'd be okay).
WHERE I GET INSPIRATION:
At the times in which I need to get thinking about what sort of costume to wear (or even when it is NOWHERE NEAR Purim or Halloween or Lord-Knows-What at all), I pay attention to character designs in films / video games / art in museums .
I pay particular attention to how such a character would fit my body type – male, dark hair, average height and weight, broad shoulders, quite muscular.
That said, some of these can be "flexible" but I really can't pull off the look of a pale-skinned blond man or a dark-skinned character native to equatorial climates.
I understand that there are definitely certain types of people over-represented in popular culture than others (e.g. over-representation of white people in Hollywood films), but there always IS something, no matter who you are.
Another thing I keep in mind is that I see experiencing media (such as looking at paintings or movies) as "trying on clothing", in a sense—imagining how I would behave in the suit of such characters. If there is any character that you feel particularly "clicks" with your personality, then you really may be onto something.
Lastly you don't need to get EVERY SINGLE detail in your "target costume". The most important colors, hair-styles and props are all that are necessary. If you can do that, great! But if you can't, don't disqualify a very good idea.
Happy costuming!

Why YouTube Demonetizing Small Creators is a VERY Bad Idea (and Morally Wrong)
This post is not about language learning, but given that this topic does affect me and many others in the community, this needs to be said.
Last month YouTube announced that any channel that did not acquire BOTH 1,000 subscribers or more and 4,000 hours of watch time in the past year will be demonetized and ineligible to receive ad revenue.
Even if I weren't affected by this, I believe that this choice is not only harmful but also yes, you read the title correctly, morally wrong.
Before having to have you read several lines of text to find out exactly what is so "morally wrong" about it, I'll spell it out right now with the following reasons:
One of YouTube's reasons for having done this was the fact that most of the channels getting demonetized made fewer than $100 a month. Again, this is a case of ignoring the reality in other areas of the world.
In a poorer community (such as in a developing country), even something like a handful of cents could be the difference between being able to support oneself and having to surrender oneself to life in the army to make ends meet. (Places with features of military rule in place, not also to mention the United States, whose plutocrats increasingly want to make it to become more like a developing country, create poverty so as to drive people "into the system" in desperation. I've seen this in many places).
What may be an insignificant amount of money to those who work at YouTube or Google would actually be life-changing in a place like Southeast Asia where currencies can be very weak and prices low by Western standards.
You may not believe me, but even in Myanmar that had what I described as "tear-inducing poverty" (imagine a Buddhist temple in Bagan filled with homeless people with makeshift sleeping bags), a lot of people have smartphones and actively use them. A lot of these people are active on YouTube and some of them are my subscribers who have helped me learn Burmese. They were eligible for the Partner Program with 10,000 views on their channel or more under the old rules, but YouTube's heartless decision has cut off yet another potential source of income, which may be small by their standards but not by others. Keep in mind that a very big water bottle can be acquired in a place like rural Myanmar for the equivalent of 25-50 cents, if not LESS.
I don't need a professor to tell me that American corporations don't really care about the rest of the world or the cultures or people in it unless it is useful for raking in more profit. YouTube has just proved what I already know.
And another moral problem is…
The 4,000 hour limit not only de-incentivizes animators but also people from small linguistic communities.
Under the 10,000 views quota, channels from smaller countries in the developing world, some of which are very homemade indeed but still charming, could have met the requirements. But if your channel is primarily in Nauruan and you need 240,000 minutes of view time to get monetized, that may be nigh INSURMOUNTABLE given how few people in the world have any knowledge of that language at all.
It seems that even many channels in Scandinavian Languages may sometimes have trouble meeting the 240,000 minutes of view time quota (even though I know many of them that are "safe" under the new rules).
Choice of language or choice of genre shouldn't be favored in this process or, at least, be taken into account. There's no way you can judge that Nauruan YouTuber and one who primarily uses English (like myself) to the same standard of viewership or subscribers. It isn't fair (but capitalism never really wasn't about fairness anyway).
The new rules may drive people to make channels in global languages for the sake of meeting that time. Again, this is a decision that is morally harmful because it de-incentivizes usage of smaller languages that ALREADY are facing mass extinction.
I suspect that YouTube's decision has virtually nothing to do with helping smaller creators or even "weeding out bad actors" at all. I suspect that it is just a pretense for furthering a system in which profits keep on coming in to those at the top, which is the end goal of unfettered capitalism.
Logan Paul, who some believe was responsible for this to begin with, has virtually created a diplomatic incident, if not a series of them, with the "suicide forest" video (not also to mention other incidents of animal cruelty and cultural insensitivity).
Temporary demonetization and being removed from Google Preferred isn't a suitable enough punishment.
If YouTube were really serious about weeding out bad actors, he should have been permanently knocked off the platform with no hope of returning. But given that his presence on the website is too profitable for them, it won't happen.
But in this internet world, like in many other areas of the globe, the rules don't really apply to the powerful, very rich or famous. That's the message that YouTube has effectively delivered. It's the one that has been delivered time and time again, especially in the United States. Namely, only the biggest and the best and most powerful matter, and fuck the rest of the world.
YouTube, I doubt you'll come to read this, but please consider the consequences of your actions and the inequality you may be furthering. You say you care about small creators but your actions speak otherwise. Not also to mention the fact that other possible competition may be capitalizing on your decision to do this, causing a mass exodus that may, in fact, give you a new competitor you never thought coming. (One rule I've learned as a business dealer myself is to never make openings for your opponents and that's PRECISELY what you've done with these new rules.) You may be big, but even in today's world there is no company too big to not be challenged.
You've created a great service for me and have brought many glimpses of the world to me. You have a choice now. You can either continue to serve all of us, or the very few at the top for the sake of profit. But you cannot and WILL NOT do both. With this decision you've clearly chosen the latter, which is not only a blot on your conscience in making your space more like Cable Television (which has dealt away with the presence of ordinary people for the sake of profit), but a decision that may also be bad, if not fatal, from a business perspective.
I know I'm on the right side of history. But can you say that? And better yet, can your actions demonstrate that? I'll be waiting.
DISCLAIMER: I would be writing this article anyway even if I weren't affected by the new rules. Even if I had 100,000,000 subscribers I would still write it. There are some issues brought up in this article that no one else has ever addressed and I thought it would be important for me to write about here. Feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments!

The Institute for Radio Astronomy and Space Research (IRASR) of Auckland University of Technology (AUT) launched the New Zealand's first and only research capable radio telescope (WARK12M) near Warkworth which is located 60km north from Auckland 8 October 2008. We intend to use the WARK12M for both purposes of radio astronomy and geodesy. The WARK12M belongs to Australia and New Zealand SKA project and is providing valuable results in cooperation with Australian station. On the other hand, in the geodetic field the WARK12M became a network station of the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS) and is participating in IVS regular sessions from the beginning of this year. The WARK12M mainly participated in IVS-R1 and IVS-R4 sessions as much as possible and is contributing to provide twice weekly Earth Orientation Parameter (EOP) results. In addition, we are coordinating the experiment together with Japanese VLBI station to provide ultra-rapid EOP result. We also intend to contribute to the geodetic and geophysical study in New Zealand. The WARK12M is collocated with a GNSS station (WARK) which belongs to PositioNZ network maintained by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ). The inter-technique (VLBI and GNSS) solution is capable of increasing reliability of the national geodetic infrastructure. Here we will introduce WARK12M and explain the great synergetic relationship between VLBI and GNSS that we aim in New Zealand and will show the first synergetic result at Warkworth. To determine the initial coordinate of our VLBI reference point, we conducted GPS survey in collaboration with the New Zealand Crown Research Institute, GNS Science and LINZ. In addition, we intend to show the recent results and discuss about noise sources such as the Ocean Tide Loading or Atmospheric Loading to influence geodetic observation at Warkworth.


Put some oil in the glass and lightly warm it, covering the top of the glass.
Smell the oil, first briefly, then more deeply trying to capture the different aromas.
Sip a small quantity of oil (about 3ml) trying to keep it in front of your mouth between yuour lower lip your tightly shut teeth.
Breathe in through clenched teeth, first delicately, then more vigorously, so as to vaporize the oil inside the mouth and the sides of the tongue, where the taste buds are.
While trying to identify and catalogue all the different aromas and flavours, exhale from the nose so that vaporized oil particles can reach the nasal membrane giving even more precise sensations.
Once tasting is completed, oil can be expelled.

Egypt demands Christie's halt auction of King Tut statue
CAIRO — Egypt has tried to halt the auction of a 3,000-year-old stone sculpture of the famed boy pharaoh Tutankhamun at Christie's in London, while the auction house said its sale was legal. The statue — a brown quartzite head depicting King Tut — is scheduled to be auctioned off in July, and could generate more than $5 million, according to Christie's.

Egypt says ancient cemetery found at Giza famed pyramids
CAIRO — Egypt's Antiquities Ministry says archaeologists have uncovered part of an ancient cemetery near the country's famed pyramids on the Giza plateau just outside Cairo. Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, says Saturday the cemetery houses burial shafts and tombs of top officials and a fine limestone statue from the Old Kingdom's Fifth Dynasty (2465-2323 B.C.). Ashraf Mohi, the head of the Giza Plateau archaeological site, says scientists know that the cemetery had been reused extensively in the Late Period (664-332 B.C.), as archeologists found painted and decorated wooden anthropoid coffins, and wooden and clay...
AP Explains: Why this Ebola outbreak is a special challenge
JOHANNESBURG — More than 1,000 deaths have now been confirmed in eastern Congo's Ebola outbreak, the second-worst in history behind the West African one in 2014-16 that killed more than 11,300 people. Attacks on health workers are badly complicating efforts to contain one of the world's most notorious diseases. At least 85 have been wounded or killed since January. Here's a look at why the outbreak is especially challenging, even as a promising experimental vaccine is being used widely for the first time. Nervous health experts watch as the virus spreads in a dense, highly mobile population near the border...
New cyclone begins to make landfall in northern Mozambique
JOHANNESBURG — A powerful tropical cyclone began to make landfall on Thursday in Mozambique, just six weeks after Cyclone Idai devastated the central part of the country and left hundreds dead. Authorities carried out compulsory evacuations in cases where residents resisted warnings to flee. Cyclone Kenneth is expected to bring heavy rains and flooding to northeastern Mozambique, which was not hit by the earlier storm, and southern Tanzania, which told coastal residents to evacuate. The cyclone arrived in Mozambique north of the city of Pemba with maximum sustained winds of 220 kilometers (136 miles) per hour, the Joint Typhoon Warning...

Liverpool FC striker could be set to leave
Reports suggest Divock Origi is a target for Real Betis
Real Betis are keen on signing Liverpool striker Divock Origi this summer according to a report from Spanish media outlet Estadio Deportivo .
The Belgian is coming towards the end of his current deal with the Reds, so Jurgen Klopp might think it's time for the forward to move on.
The 24-year-old joined Liverpool from Lille five years ago for around £10m, and he has gone on to score 28 goals in 98 appearances in all competitions report HITC .
The report claims that the Reds could sell Origi for somewhere in the region of €20m (£17.9m), but it is not clear whether or not Betis are prepared to pay that kind of fee.
So should Liverpool let Origi leave?
Mohamed Salah told to leave Liverpool FC
The simple answer to that question is yes, especially if they receive somewhere in the region of the reported £17.9m for his services.
Liverpool's Divock Origi celebrates the crucial fourth goal as the Reds knock Barcelona out of the Champions League semi-final
Despite flashes of brilliance, the 25-capped Belgium international has failed to deliver for the Merseyside outfit on a consistent basis.
Origi is a decent player, but Liverpool can do better, and deep down, Klopp probably realises that too.

Greg Gutfeld: Maybe this is an awakening for liberal leaders
Gutfeld: This is the eternal Democrat flaw
'Gutfeld!' panel reacts to 'defund the police' San Francisco mayor changing her tune on crime crackdown.
So, crime is getting so bad in California, people are leaving their trunks open — car trunks I mean. With this crowd, I should be specific, the perverts. But to avoid having their windows broken, they're just leaving the cars wide open, telling thieves to take what you want.
Thankfully the mayor of San Francisco says she's had enough…Of the behavior that she and others have enabled. For now, it is time for the reign of criminals who are destroying our city to end!
San Francisco Mayor London Breed, Tuesday: It is time that the reign of criminals who are destroying our city, it is time for it to come to an end and it comes to an end when we take the steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement, more aggressive with the changes in our policies and less tolerant of all the bulls**t that has destroyed our city."
Back to planet earth. So it's bullpoop that's destroying your city? I don't know – I'd take a look at your shoe, I'm pretty sure that's human. Let's start there. Still, that's some salty language, coming from someone who's proud this city believes in giving people second chances!
San Francisco Mayor London Breed, Tuesday: We are a city that prides ourselves on second chances and rehabilitation but we're not a city where anything goes. Our compassion cannot be mistaken for weakness or indifference//what I'm proposing today and what I will be proposing in the future will make a lot of people uncomfortable and I don't care. At the end of the day, the safety of the people of San Francisco is the most important thing to me.
Wow — did someone replace London Breed with an evil twin — you know, someone who's competent? Now, it's not my job to say "I told you so." But I can't stop it… "I told you so!" God, that felt better than a foot massage.
This show has repeatedly warned her that the city was in a death spiral. But, like Kilmeade when we ask him to lay off the aftershave, she wouldn't listen. The mayor refused to read the handwriting on the wall, but maybe, she read the feces on the sidewalk. Although it's not breaking news that San Fran has turned into a haven for public defecation. Maybe it finally hit her street. I wonder which pooper sent her over the edge?
Skit of an interview with a guy who pooped around San Francisco
But look, it's also wrong to criticize someone like the mayor for finally making the right decision, just 'cuz she could have done it sooner. Fact is, every right decision could be done sooner. True, I could have quit doing drugs sooner — but does it make it wrong that I still quit later? Or rather, plan on quitting later… In the near future?
But let's be optimistic. The mayor's comments seem to be affecting even the most stubborn democrats currently living in a state of denial. That state being California. They've realized people are dying around them… Or at least the people they finally care about: the rich, white libs who make up their tax base. I mean, there is an attitude of lawlessness in our country that springs from "I don't know where. Maybe you do."
Let's not forget making shoplifting a misdemeanor, as long as you stole less than a grand worth of crap. The leaders didn't mind, since these disconnected elites can't imagine anything costing less than a grand. That's Gavin Newsom's weekly budget for hair gel.
It's the eternal democrat flaw: a refusal to see how their incentives for bad behavior create more bad behavior. They're like life coaches for criminals. They do everything to encourage them except stand outside of Zales with pom-poms and cheer them on. "That's alright, that's ok; just grab the shit and drive away!"
Now they admit the city's being destroyed, and Nancy is like, "wow, how did that happen?" If her face could move, she'd look shocked. Or maybe Pelosi is playing dumb, since she already made excuses for the mayhem. Remember her response to mobs destroying public property?
Pelosi, July 2020: I don't care that much about statues
Reporter: Respectfully, shouldn't that be done by a commission or the city council, not a mob in the middle of the night throwing it into the harbor?
Pelosi: People will do what they do
People will do what they do, says princess frozen face. But I guess back then, under Trump – it was just easier to side with a mob than taking a stand against lawlessness. But now the mob has gotten what it wanted. The city is dying, and Pelosi is scared.
So, this is a change of heart, or whatever tiny organ still beats in Pelosi's chest. And I hope it's real. Remember after BLM protesters demanded police defunding, Breed announced that her city would be the first to knuckle under –- with 120 million dollars in budget cuts to both the police and sheriff's department.
She was warned it could hurt the city, but she was more interested in appearing woke, than safe. I bet you're awake now, London. And what followed — more open-air drug dealing, car break-ins and car thefts, retail theft, property crime and murder.
Now, others have said, "but property and violent crimes are lower than historic levels." But that's because businesses and residents stopped reporting the crimes. Because, like Kilmeade sending out birthday party invitations, they never get any response.
And also criminals tend to hold a grudge. Meanwhile, in SF, the rate of arrest dramatically declined for many crimes. In 2021, 19 percent of all shoplifting reports resulted in arrest. San Fran's progressive DA charged just 46 percent of theft arrests… A 16-point decline since he took office, and charged only 35 percent of petty theft arrests. That's not a reduction in crime — that's called giving up.
So now after all this, Breed is changing her tune, and urgently requesting more dough for police. And while I want to say, "you could have done it sooner," maybe I should just say: "good job." Better late than never.
And maybe this can start a true awakening to the destruction that woke policies have wreaked upon every city where they exist. Liberal leaders should be waking up, and saying: "my god, what have I done?"
Just like anyone who hooked up with Kilmeade in the 90's.

De Symfonie nr. 45 is een bekende symfonie van Joseph Haydn, geschreven in 1772. Deze symfonie heeft als bijnaam de Afscheidssymfonie (Duits: Abschieds-Sinfonie), omdat de musici gedurende het laatste deel (adagio) stoppen met spelen, hun kaars uitblazen, hun partituur meenemen en het podium verlaten, totdat nog maar 2 violisten overblijven. Hiermee wilde Haydn duidelijk maken dat de musici protesteerden tegen de verplichte jaarlijkse verhuizing tussen het zomerpaleis bij Fertod (Hongarije) en het winterpaleis in Wenen. De vorst Esterhazy waar Haydn als kapelmeester in dienst was had echter bij verordening de plicht een periode in Wenen door te brengen. Voor de musici die vrouwen en kinderen achter moesten laten was deze volksverhuizing echter een doorn in het oog.

Bezetting
 2 hobo's
 1 fagot
 2 hoorns
 Strijkers

Delen
Het werk bestaat uit vier delen:
Allegro assai
Adagio
Menuetto: Allegretto (in F majeur)
Finale: Presto - Adagio

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka
Overview Features Pricing Getting Started FAQs Resources Customers
Features Amazon MSK Connect Amazon MSK Serverless
What is Apache Kafka?
Build real time streaming data pipelines and applications that adapt to data streams
Get started with Amazon MSK
Apache Kafka is a distributed data store optimized for ingesting and processing streaming data in real-time. Streaming data is data that is continuously generated by thousands of data sources, which typically send the data records in simultaneously. A streaming platform needs to handle this constant influx of data, and process the data sequentially and incrementally.
Kafka provides three main functions to its users:
Publish and subscribe to streams of records
Effectively store streams of records in the order in which records were generated
Process streams of records in real time
Kafka is primarily used to build real-time streaming data pipelines and applications that adapt to the data streams. It combines messaging, storage, and stream processing to allow storage and analysis of both historical and real-time data.
Why would you use Kafka?
Kafka is used to build real-time streaming data pipelines and real-time streaming applications. A data pipeline reliably processes and moves data from one system to another, and a streaming application is an application that consumes streams of data. For example, if you want to create a data pipeline that takes in user activity data to track how people use your website in real-time, Kafka would be used to ingest and store streaming data while serving reads for the applications powering the data pipeline. Kafka is also often used as a message broker solution, which is a platform that processes and mediates communication between two applications.
How does Kafka work?
Kafka combines two messaging models, queuing and publish-subscribe, to provide the key benefits of each to consumers. Queuing allows for data processing to be distributed across many consumer instances, making it highly scalable. However, traditional queues aren't multi-subscriber. The publish-subscribe approach is multi-subscriber, but because every message goes to every subscriber it cannot be used to distribute work across multiple worker processes. Kafka uses a partitioned log model to stitch together these two solutions. A log is an ordered sequence of records, and these logs are broken up into segments, or partitions, that correspond to different subscribers. This means that there can be multiple subscribers to the same topic and each is assigned a partition to allow for higher scalability. Finally, Kafka's model provides replayability, which allows multiple independent applications reading from data streams to work independently at their own rate.
Queuing
Publish-Subscribe
Benefits of Kafka's approach
Kafka's partitioned log model allows data to be distributed across multiple servers, making it scalable beyond what would fit on a single server.
Kafka decouples data streams so there is very low latency, making it extremely fast.
Partitions are distributed and replicated across many servers, and the data is all written to disk. This helps protect against server failure, making the data very fault-tolerant and durable.
Dive deep into Kafka's architecture
Kafka remedies the two different models by publishing records to different topics. Each topic has a partitioned log, which is a structured commit log that keeps track of all records in order and appends new ones in real time. These partitions are distributed and replicated across multiple servers, allowing for high scalability, fault-tolerance, and parallelism. Each consumer is assigned a partition in the topic, which allows for multi-subscribers while maintaining the order of the data. By combining these messaging models, Kafka offers the benefits of both. Kafka also acts as a very scalable and fault-tolerant storage system by writing and replicating all data to disk. By default, Kafka keeps data stored on disk until it runs out of space, but the user can also set a retention limit. Kafka has four APIs:
Producer API: used to publish a stream of records to a Kafka topic.
Consumer API: used to subscribe to topics and process their streams of records.
Streams API: enables applications to behave as stream processors, which take in an input stream from topic(s) and transform it to an output stream which goes into different output topic(s).
Connector API: allows users to seamlessly automate the addition of another application or data system to their current Kafka topics.
Apache Kafka vs RabbitMQ
RabbitMQ is an open source message broker that uses a messaging queue approach. Queues are spread across a cluster of nodes and optionally replicated, with each message only being delivered to a single consumer.
Kafka uses a partitioned log model, which combines messaging queue and publish subscribe approaches.
RabbitMQ uses a messaging queue.
Kafka provides scalability by allowing partitions to be distributed across different servers.
Increase the number of consumers to the queue to scale out processing across those competing consumers.
Message retention
Policy based, for example messages may be stored for one day. The user can configure this retention window.
Acknowledgement based, meaning messages are deleted as they are consumed.
Multiple consumers
Multiple consumers can subscribe to the same topic, because Kafka allows the same message to be replayed for a given window of time.
Multiple consumers cannot all receive the same message, because messages are removed as they are consumed.
Topics are automatically replicated, but the user can manually configure topics to not be replicated.
Messages are not automatically replicated, but the user can manually configure them to be replicated.
Message ordering
Each consumer receives information in order because of the partitioned log architecture.
Messages are delivered to consumers in the order of their arrival to the queue. If there are competing consumers, each consumer will process a subset of that message.
Kafka uses a binary protocol over TCP.
Advanced messaging queue protocol (AMQP) with support via plugins: MQTT, STOMP.
