NYPD filmed audience leaving Drake concert
The New York Police Department filmed the audience leaving Drake's concert in the city last week.
READ MORE: Drake live in Harlem: A star-studded evening of gratitude at an iconic New York venue
The rapper played a number of shows at the Apollo in Harlem for SiriusXM last week, teasing a new album and tour and bringing out guests Dipset and 21 Savage.
As revealed on Twitter by The New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica, attendees were filmed by police officers on their way out of the gig, with no reason initially given.
In a statement shared with Consequence, the NYPD then said the reason for the filming was to "highlight local community events".
They said: "The officer depicted in the video is a Community Affairs officer involved with the 28th Precinct's social media team.
"The officer was taking video for an upcoming Twitter post that will highlight local community events. The video will not be utilised for any other reason."

Elsewhere at the Apollo shows, Drake was forced to pause the Sunday night (January 22) show after a fan fell from the mezzanine balcony into the audience below.
Midway through the concert, 21 Savage joined Drake to perform tracks from their collaborative album 'Her Loss'. But before they began, the rapper paused the show as a man fell from the second-floor balcony.
"Just gotta make sure somebody's OK," Drake told the audience before him and 21 Savage left the stage and the lights were turned on in the venue. The break lasted around 15 minutes as venue staff could be seen treating the man.
In a statement shared with Pitchfork, a representative for the Apollo Theater said: "Unfortunately, last evening an incident occurred with an audience member who landed in the orchestra from the lower mezzanine. Drake, Apollo, and SiriusXM halted the show immediately when learning of a potential fan injury and standard protocols were taken. They were seen immediately by EMS on site.
"The fan and other audience members reported that they were OK. No major injuries have been reported. The Apollo is investigating the situation further."
Reviewing that show, NME wrote: "As he finishes one of his most iconic shows to date, he parts with, "If you ever say, 'That's probably too far-fetched of a goal' just go watch my old haircut on Degrassi. If you can have that haircut and you can make it to the fucking Apollo stage you can do anything in the world. Have a good night.""

Михалис Зьогас () е роден на 26 юни 1962 г. в Лариса (Гърция) и играе като нападател.

Зьогас се счита за играча с най-голям принос за шампионската титла на Лариса през 1988 г. С общо 16 гола, той остава на второ място в листата на голмайсторите след Хенрик Нилсен от АЕК. Със своите общо 61 гола Зьогас се превръща в най-резултатния голмайстор на Лариса, с който освен титлата печели и Националната купа.

Въпреки добрите му изяви в клубния отбор той получава едва три повиквателни за националния тим на Гърция, тъй като по това време основните звезди на неговия пост са Димитрис Самарас от Панатинайкос и Никос Анастасопулос от Олимпиакос.

След края на състезателната си кариера Зьогас е треньор на ФК Верия, Олимпиакос Волос и олимпийския национален тим на Гърция, но и така не може да се доближи до успехите си като играч.

New Zealand "barn find"
The Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre (Omaka Air Field, New Zealand) have been granted the honour to preserve and display the aircraft that were part of the collection of John Smith, who died in August 2019. He started collecting aircraft in the 1950s when he witnessed the large scale scrapping of warbirds, even close to his home. He managed to save several key aircraft and stored them in a shed on his Mapua property (South Island of New Zealand), where they remained as untouched – and for the most part, unseen – relics of New Zealand aviation history. Collectors travelled from across the planet trying to purchase his aeroplanes, but left empty-handed.
Now, after his death, the family, led by brother George and nephew Rob, has decided to open up the "treasure trove" so the public can enjoy John's heritage. The Smith aircraft include a complete de Havilland Mosquito, John's own original Tiger Moth, and two Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawks, NZ3220 and NZ3043. The former is New Zealand's most famous P-40 "Gloria Lyons" (43-22962).
The Mosquito, an FB Mk.VI, was built for the RAF as TE910 and later exported to New Zealand and flown as NZ2336/YC-B. The Mossie, one of only thirty that have survived worldwide, is complete. Maybe not all the aircraft are destined for display at OAHC, but Kittyhawk NZ3220 surely is! It has already been transported to Omaka, soon to be followed by Mosquito NZ2336. In the past days both Merlins engines have been lifted out and mounted onto the clever back-to-back transport stand kindly loaned to the museum by Warren Denholm of AvSpecs for the purpose.
The Smith collection also houses a North American P-51 Mustang: built as USAAF 45-11513 (construction number 124-48266), it was sold to the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) and flown as NZ2423. The Mustang will be restored to flying status, for which it was already trucked to the Biggin Hill Historic Aircraft Centre, RNZAF Ohakea this past week-end of 22/23 August 2020. The restoration of NZ2423 will need a lot of cash, as the fighters wings were torched off before it was salvaged by Smith. Positive things are the low number of flying hours (around 400) for both airframe and engine. The Merlin seems to be in remarkably good condition.
In his lifetime John Smith only once said goodbye to one of his beloved aircraft. He gifted his Lockheed Hudson NZ2049 to Bill Reid who loaned it to the Omaka museum for display. This Lockheed A-29A-LO was built for the USAAC as 41-36976 (construction number 414-6465). It was meant to become RAF FH175 under lend-lease but went to New Zealand instead.

Q: How to declare day? How do I declare the day in my code? Not only Sunday, but other days too.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int temperature;
  char day = SUNDAY;

  cout << "Enter your body temperature:" << endl ;
  cin >> temperature ;

  cout << "Enter what day:" << endl ;
  cin >> day ;

  if ((temperature > 40 ) && (day == SUNDAY))
      cout << "Take sick certificate" << endl ;
  else if (temperature > 40 )
      cout << "Do a light work" << endl ;
  else if (temperature > 50 )
      cout << "Go to hospital!" << endl ;
  else
      cout << "Go to work" << endl ;

  system("PAUSE");
  return 0 ;
}

A: Declare day? You will need a std::string. I think you want something like this:
#include <string>
....
std::string day = "SUNDAY";
....
if ((temperature > 40 ) && (day == "SUNDAY"))

It was held that the Memorandum of Procedure may indicate the eligibility criteria, such as the minimum age, for the guidance of the collegium (both at the level of the high court and the Supreme Court) for appointment of judges, after inviting and taking into consideration the views of the state government and the Government of India (as the case may be) from time to time.
Transparency in the appointment process
In order to make the appointment process more transparent, the Bench noted, 'The eligibility criteria and the procedure as detailed in the Memorandum of Procedure for the appointment of Judges ought to be made available on the website of the Court concerned and on the website of the department of justice of the Government of India.' The Bench also observed that the Memorandum of Procedure may provide for an appropriate procedure for 'minuting the discussions including recording the dissenting opinion of the judges in the collegium while making provision for the confidentiality of the minutes consistent with the requirement of transparency in the system of appointment of judges.'
Setting up of Secretariat for the management of selection process
The bench said that for better management of the system, the Memorandum of Procedure may provide for establishment of Secretariat for the Apex Court and each of the High Courts and additionally, prescribe their functions, duties and responsibilities.
Complaints against candidates
The Court ordered that the Memorandum of Procedure should contain sufficient procedure to deal with the complaints against the persons who are going to be appointed.
Miscellaneous Issues
The Memorandum of Procedure may provide for any other matter considered appropriate for ensuring transparency and accountability including interaction with the recommendee(s) by the collegium of the Supreme Court, without sacrificing the confidentiality of the appointment process.

Sneezing, wheezing, and otherwise feeling like hell: Allergies are a special kind of everyday torture. Although we don't have a cure for your food or environmental allergies, we do have some proven tips to help you suffer less and minimize reactions. Here are our top 10 tips for people who suffer with allergies.
Allergic symptoms—wheezing, itchiness, rashes, sinus problems, and more—can be so severe that you'll try anything to get rid of them. Unfortunately, the word "hypoallergenic" doesn't always mean what we think it means—companies can use the term for whatever they want it to mean. Buying local honey won't help your allergies either or build up your tolerance to pollen—you're still probably going to be exposed to a different, wind-carried pollen. If a product says it's allergen-free, you should still look at the ingredients and investigate them.
You'll have a routine to keep your allergies under control when you're at home—knowing which restaurants to eat at or avoid, for example—but traveling is another story. Before you get on an airplane, find out the airline's food allergy policies (or pack your own food). You might also seek out allergy-friendly lodging and, of course, make sure you have any medication you might need with you. Here's our guide to eating well and managing your food allergies when you're traveling.
If your allergies are triggered by seasonal changes, such as more exposure to tree pollen in the spring or spending more time with mold and dust mites in the winter, change with the seasons! Basically, you want to reduce your exposure to the allergens when they're at their peak and remove them from your environment as much as possible. Go outdoors after 10 am, for example. Also, change your clothes and shoes when you walk through the door so you don't bring allergens into the house. Dust early in the day to give dust time to settle before you settle down in the evening. Shower at night to get rid of the pollen you've picked up all day so you're not breathing it in all night long. We're on to you, allergens.
The things you come into contact every day are the ones most likely to trigger allergies. That means cleaning everyday things like your clothes and bedsheets. Add baking soda or vinegar to the washing machine to get rid of excess detergent residue. Invest in dust mite covers for your bed and pillows, Keep pets out of bedrooms and replace carpets with hardwood floors, if possible.
You generally know which foods to avoid when you have a food allergy, but sometimes dishes can sneak in ingredients that you might be allergic to. That's where Allergy Assassin comes in. It could warn you that a dish might contain an ingredient you're allergic to (e.g., that ravioli dish or meatball would likely contain eggs). We've rounded up more apps that will help you find allergy-friendly restaurants and food products here.
Even with restrictive food allergies, you can still enjoy a variety of foods. My daughter's allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, and soy, for example, so we've learned to look for vegan and nut-free desserts or use egg substitutes when baking, such as applesauce and even chickpea liquid. Learn to cook for difficult dietary restrictions here and general guidelines for substituting ingredients. If you're cooking for "the most difficult dinner guest ever," have some recipes anyone can eat in your arsenal.
One of the worst parts of having allergies is having a reaction and not knowing what caused it. You could be allergic to the ingredients in commercial deodorants (so make your own) or, unfortunately, wine and beer, because of ingredients used to produce them. Watch your diet if you have mysterious migraines and always read the food labels. Although the FDA requires food manufacturers to declare if a product has a major food allergen (the big 8: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans), you might be allergic to another ingredient. To be on the safe side, always read the ingredients list carefully and look up the allergens list when ordering fast food or ask your server when dining out. It's also wise to know the other names associated with your allergy. If a food lists casein or whey, for example, or even artificial butter flavor, you should avoid it if you have milk allergies. See Food Allergy Research & Education for more info.
The easiest way to communicate your allergies to others is with a picture. Allergy cards are especially useful when traveling and even when dining out at restaurants locally. Create your own allergy card, or use a site like Allerglobal to generate a language-specific version. You can also get bracelets and stickers to warn teachers and caretakers of your kids' allergies.
Most important: Know what you're allergic too. Otherwise, you won't be able to treat it and you'll keep suffering. A food elimination diet can help you narrow down what's making you sick. To look out for possible allergies when feeding a baby, use the 4-day wait rule (introduce only one new ingredient for four days). Try keeping a journal so you can pinpoint your allergy triggers, whether it's food or something in your environment. And get tested by an allergist if your symptoms are really bothering you. Medication might not be necessary (maybe they'll just recommend a neti pot for seasonal allergies), but a doctor can help you live better even if you have allergies.

Researchers have determined that teachers' expectations for their students affect almost every aspect of instruction and can determine whether students succeed. For teachers who want to alter their behavior toward certain students, this research suggests that teachers observe how students interact, work to understand what motivates students, engage with students about the individual interests and find out more about students' lives outside of school.

How to Stay Alive in the Woods
by R
Survival tip #1: get the book How to Stay Alive in the Woods by Bradford Angier. Here is one of my all-time favourite books. It might not be the most up to date, but if you're ever in a situation where you need a little help, this might just turn the tides in your favor. I purchased this a while back, and the book's design was the first thing that caught my eye. It weaves beautiful illustrations with straight forward knowledge; all wrapped up with a rubberized ribbed cover. It's rare these days to see the same level of effort that went into choosing materials for this book. If you get the chance to purchase this little rare gem, I would highly recommend it.
Get the must have hardcopy version on Amazon or digital version on iTunes.

Heinrich Demo trail approved by Valley County Commissioners
All of our trails are being built with our children and future generations in mind.
Many thanks to our trail supporters for sending in letters of support for the Heinrich Demonstration Trail. On Monday, we presented the trail proposal to the Valley County Commission, and following a one-hour public hearing, the Demo trail was passed by a 3-0 vote. Yay!
Commissioner Dave Bingamin made the motion to approve the trail, Commissioner Sherry Maupin seconded the motion, and Commission Chairman Elt Hasbrouck voted in favor to make it unanimous.
We are making a few tweaks to the draft MOU between Valley County and VCP required for the project to finalize the approval next week. We hope to start construction on the Demo trail this fall.
We'd also like to thank Andrew Mentzer and the West Central Mountains Economic Development Council (WCMEDC) for their key supporting role in the whole pathways effort. The WCMEDC worked to raise $40,000 for the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) feasibility study on our singletrack sidewalks plan, and WCMEDC was a key supporter of the VCP Master Plan major update in 2017. Andrew worked directly with Valley County on developing the Singletrack Sidewalks ordinance, approved in February 2020. It takes a team effort!
Here's an editorial from the McCall Star-News, endorsing our approach to building a series of singletrack sidewalks throughout the valley to connect our communities, provide a safe place for our children and people to walk, run or bike to school, promote health and fitness, and economic development.
Editorial: Singletracks blaze the way to more paths
(From the Star-News, Oct. 1)
Singletrack pathways are the future of recreation in Valley County, and county officials should be praised for allowing them to happen.
This week, Valley County commissioners approved a demonstration project that will see a 4,000-foot trail developed along the north side of Heinrich Lane between the southern trailhead of the North Valley Trail and Norwood Road.
The project is unique because of its simplicity. Previously, the vision of recreational planners was to build paved, eight-foot-wide, separated pathways to accommodate walkers, joggers and bicyclists. But the costs of such pathways have become staggering, at $100,000 to $250,000 per mile. Singletrack paths are the low-tech version of separated pathways and they work as well or better than their more sophisticated cousins and only cost $25,000 to $53,000 per mile.
The singletracks are two to three feet wide and are carved out of the available public rights-of-way running along county roads. These are basic dirt trails that make productive use out of rights-of-way that do little more than grow weeds. They provide a safe and inviting amenity to the growing numbers of mountain bike riders who live in or visit the area. The Heinrich Lane project will show singletrack pathways are compatible with the adjacent land uses and set the stage for more paths.
The concept is the brainchild of Valley County Pathways, the nonprofit group that developed the North Valley Trail, which runs 3.5 miles south of McCall from River Ranch to Heinrich Lane and which is growing each year in popularity. The group envisions building about 70 miles of singletrack pathways throughout the valley to connect McCall, Donnelly and Cascade, even linking as far as New Meadows and the Weiser River Trail.
Singletrack trails are a cheap and easy way to expand an important segment of the local resort economy. They may not be fancy, but they get the job done, and should be encouraged wherever Valley County Pathways wants to put them.

Trump's "enemy of the people' attacks teetering on tyranny
Donald Trump has frequently attacked 'the media', interchanging 'fake news' and 'enemy of the people'. The latter puts him in quite bad company. Lenin Stalin, Mao, Mugabe, and Hitler, and more recently in Venezuela, Myanmar and Zimbabwe.
Trump has been doing it since the start of his presidency.
NY Times (17 February 2017): Trump Calls the News Media the 'Enemy of the American People'
President Trump, in an extraordinary rebuke of the nation's press organizations, wrote on Twitter on Friday that the nation's news media "is the enemy of the American people."
Even by the standards of a president who routinely castigates journalists — and who on Thursday devoted much of a 77-minute news conference to criticizing his press coverage — Mr. Trump's tweet was a striking escalation in his attacks.
USA Today (24 February 2017): Trump again calls media 'enemy of the people'
President Trump turned his speech before a conservative convention into a full-throated attack on journalism Friday, saying some reporters make up unnamed sources for "fake news" and again describing them as "the enemy" of the American people.
"A few days ago I called the fake news the enemy of the people, and they are — they are the enemy of the people," Trump told the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.
While praising some reporters as honest, and pledging fealty to the First Amendment, Trump claimed that "the fake news media doesn't tell the truth." He said reporters should not be allowed to use anonymous sources, and "we're going to do something about it."
And on Friday (2 August 2018):
They asked my daughter Ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the FAKE NEWS, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people!
So Trump has hept portraying 'a large percentage of the media' (media that doesn't say what he wants) as "the enemy of the people". This is an insidious assault on an imperfect and essential part of a free and open democracy.
And it is a tactic that has been done by tyrants and dictators in the past.
Brookings: Enemy of the People
In Enemy of the People, Marvin Kalb, an award-winning American journalist with more than six decades of experience both as a journalist and media observer, writes with passion about why we should fear for the future of American democracy because of the unrelenting attacks by the Trump administration on the press.
Shortly after assuming office in January 2017, President Donald Trump accused the press of being an "enemy of the American people." Attacks on the media had been a hallmark of Trump's presidential campaign, but this charge marked a dramatic turning point: language like this ventured into dangerous territory.
Twentieth-century dictators—notably, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao—had all denounced their critics, especially the press, as "enemies of the people." Their goal was to delegitimize the work of the press as "fake news" and create confusion in the public mind about what's real and what isn't; what can be trusted and what can't be.
@BriaanKlaas:
Trump continues to call the press "the enemy of the people," which is both disgusting and dangerous. To understand why, let's look at the history of that sinister phrase, who has used it in the past, why, and how it fosters a higher likelihood of violence against journalists.
The modern origins of the phrase are from the French Revolution's "reign of terror," when people were beheaded en masse. But it resurged during the Nazi era, when Hitler referred to the "lying press" and called Jews "the enemy of the people." But, it keeps getting worse.
It's a Soviet phrase too, something Lenin started and Stalin continued. For Stalin, labeling someone an "enemy of the people," meant internment at a forced labor camp and sometimes death. The term was *too extreme* for Nikita Khrushchev, who denounced it *in the 1950s.*
Mao used the phrase regularly too to label anyone who opposed his rule as an "enemy of the people." The consequences of that label were also dire and often led to death. Mao was a murderous dictator who killed nearly 40 million people.
In modern times, other dictators have used the phrase too. Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez labeled critical media outlets as "enemies of the homeland," in the same vein. Are you beginning to see a pattern in what type of regime calls its critics the "enemy of the people?"
The phrase has also been deployed against the press in places as diverse as Myanmar (when it was ruled purely by a military junta) and Zimbabwe (when it was ruled by longtime dictator Robert Mugabe)
There is a reason that the phrase "enemy of the people" has been almost exclusively deployed by murderous dictators. To use it to describe the free press, which is a pillar of every democracy, is particularly sinister. Trump is borrowing a phrase from the worst of the worst.
In my field research, I've interviewed several authoritarian leaders who admit that they do *what they can get away with* when it comes to destroying the press. The White House used to be the deterrent, threatening consequences to regimes that harassed or attacked journalists.
Calling the press "the enemy of the people" encourages violence against journalists in the US. Keep in mind that he has also called the free press "a stain on America," and "scum." People listen to him. And a lot of crazy people with guns listen to him too.
Trump's anti-press rhetoric puts him in a category with Stalin, Mao, Mugabe, Hitler & Chavez. This isn't partisan. Democracy can't survive without a free press. Authoritarianism requires the press to be crushed or cowed. Trump's rhetoric is disgusting, dangerous, and must end.
I doubt it will end. Trump plays by his own rules as much as he can.
And it isn't just Trump. He has his lackeys supporting his attacks on media – see Sarah Huckabee Sanders refuses to dispute claim that media is 'enemy' of the people.
And Trump has recruited an army of supporters who make excuses and defend his assaults on the media, and attack 'the media', and denigrate and try to discredit those who condemn his insidious attacks.
So does he see media that holds him to account is an enemy of his ambitions? Or an enemy of his ego?
I think it's both. His presidency is teetering on tyranny.

The Lefty press are clearly the enemy of Trump's people and directly serve the "Liberal elite". They are totally focused on taking him down and have been since he campaigned for office.
Why do you pretend otherwise?
I'm very surprised you've been sucked into defending Trump unquestioningly, and attack any questioning of his tactics shared by tyrants.
Or are you the one who's pretending?
I don't defend him unquestioningly.
I defend him very selectively only where I think there is another side being ignored. That is quite frequent.
Bullshit you are his number two cheerleader on this site after David. And you try for the last word in trump's defence whevever commenters on this site criticise trump.
You backed trump from the get-go, and have been sucked down the rabbit hole. You're just too proud to admit it.
The difficulty you find yourself in Joe is that you can find not a single good thing that Trump has done and get all personal at people who dont share your view of him.
Myself and no doubt Alan can find plenty that Trump has done wrong and some of his comments are outrageous. I dont really take Trump to seriously he is just another President which is a pretty weak role in the American system. I enjoy the entertainment nut he is proving far better than Obama was in actual results for ordinary hard working Americans.
POTUS is a serious role, probably the most watched person in the world. All actions and statements are analysed for meanings and intentions. Unfortunately Trump shots from the hip or more correctly the lip.
If you are elected and then carry out your agenda that is democracy but Trump lacks the ability to do it without a lot of drama. Not only does he want to get his way he wants to stand on as many toes as possible in doing it. He also wants to appear to have won, if it is pointed out he didn't win then he attacks the messenger.
Basically he is tempermentally unsuited for the job.
As very wrong as usual, Joe. We watch your protesting squawks emitting from deep in the TDS black hole with wry amusement. Like Hawking radiation they carry no information.
I'm not quite sure of the correct terminology but Trump is your alter ego or you are living vicariously through him?
No more than the media which now exist to carry his reality show and the cartoonists you enjoy who are employed by it.
Trump has a desire to always have the last word.
Not on Twitter. He has the first word and the loony Left spend the next two days berating it and him.
Some supporters are able to see the danger in his attacks on media.
Mr. President I voted for you and am impressed with much of what you've accomplished on our country's behalf. There's however no need for this kind of rhetoric. Please exercise some restraint when thinking of attacking your so-called "Fake News"enemies. Collateral damage is done.
— Tim Brando (@TimBrando) August 4, 2018
He cannot blame the press for repeating his words verbatim, which he does. He then tries to deny having said them in the first place. Nothing ever seems to be his fault, of course; one sure sign of a narcissist.
The constant bleats of 'fake news' are wearing very thin.
He will, I hope, be a one term aberration. The West's democracy tends not to allow for or take kindly to dictators. It was a great surprise that about 25% of the voters actually voted for him, fewer than voted for Hillary Clinton. It's an awful lesson on why voting is so important. It's a privilege and should be taken very seriously.
I once saw a new story about what Zimbabwe jokingly called an election. One woman who was interviewed had been left with several grandchildren to bring up when their parents died. She had been threatened (death threats) if she voted the wrong way (or possibly voted at all, I forget which) so wasn't going to, Who on earth would under the circumstances ?
Then there are people here and in other countries who are too lazy to vote, think themselves clever to spoil the paper and make it not count or see it as a protest not to vote.
sorethumb
In the light of the media treatment of Southern and Molyneaux I fully agree with Trump. As I have said before we need a system where people can respond. RNZ allow texting but only they get to see the result.
Jordan Peterson wipes the floor with Cathy Newman: Dear Dear. Not meant to happen!!? "Break out! Breakout!"
Southern and Molyneux were given interviews and a chance to speak freely by both our major TV channels. They have been given ample opportunity to respond – more than must fringe numpties get.
The elephant in the room is that they were prevented from having a venue for their event. They got some time in the media due to the public interest in the controversy started by Goff however the media aren't some unbiased tribunal. They have an agenda. Paddy Gower referred to one of Molyneux's reply "a rant" thereby labelling his dialogue insane.
If the media hadn't publicised things so much over the last few weeks they would hardly have been noticed coming here. Goff sparked the coverage.
I think that many people listening to them will think they are disingenuous, or nuts, or disingenuous nuts.
FarmerPete
Pete you are doing a great job of attacking the person rather than the issue. When you label people like this it gives you the excuse to sidestep what they actually say.
But Trump attacking the media is the issue here, and it's a serious issue. It's not just an attack on journalists and companies and truth, it is an ongoing attack on democracy.
Actually, the reverse is also true. A Harvard study showed that over 90% of all articles about Trump were negative. A larger threat to our democracy than Trumps errant tweets and mutterings is the insidious attack on free speech, and a highly partisan media that doesn't fairly report facts. There is very little reportage on Trumps success and highly exaggerated reporting on his flaws. I gave up on TV news and the main dailies here about 20 years ago when I realised that almost every news article of importance was coloured with the use of pejoratives that subtly influenced readers. Journalists should get back to reporting facts and let the audience make up their own minds. If you want a real threat to our democracy look no further than facebook, google and twitter, and our main newspapers who simply parrot the garbage from overseas outlets. Not to mention what is occurring on our campuses.
Let the media tidy up its act and then I will show some concern and support.
The poll on Newshub has over 3000 responses and is at 77% in support.
In support of what?
Whether they should be allowed to come here. While that doesn't mean speak. , the fact that they were allowed to come at all had the hounds baying.
Well they were allowed to come so that worked out all right.
They weren't allowed to speak, so that didn't.
We've had a bit of an idea of what they might have said & although they got to say a bit to Paddy Gower he screwed that interview up so we never got to hear exactly what Molyneux was trying to say about race & IQ, which would have been good because then people could judge whether he's just a racist or whether it's a convenient act, maybe – but he was talking shit about Maori language being taught by force & sounding off like an expert when it was very superficial, with false assumptions, & he knew bugger-all in reality – & that's par for the course for him.
Southern didn't impress as having anything much worth listening to except her warning about Sharia law coming soon. This isn't Sweden or the UK & I don't think that shit will be happening here.
We might get to hear some more from on Sunday tonite but I expect we'll hear more from the reporter or interviewer than them. We'll see.
There might be some Court action by someone forced to refund money to disappointed attendees – but anyone with brains would have insured themselves against that possibility. I don't think S&M will have lost any money & it's all good fodder for their brainless acolytes offshore, & any here.
Hopefully they've gone now?
Islam got a serve. Molyneux & Southern got a serve for being ignorant about here. Radical lefties & assorted anti-free-speech freaks got a serve for being fascists accusing them of being fascists. Others will think it was a victory for free speech against hate speech. I think it was all a circus & the overall impact will be negative for S&M & antifa types.
We all got a chance to jump up & down here on our respective hobby horses.
The Minister of Immigration Lees-Galloway came out of it looking like a professional – so that's one on the board for the government at last.
All in all not that bad a show as far as I'm concerned. Cost me nothing but time, & a lot of that I've quite enjoyed. Checking up on Molyneux's been instructive. If you've got kids I wouldn't recommend you let them talk to him alone.
I can see where you are coming from Gezza but the truth doesn't change reality. We just need to rationalise.
A couple of months ago nobody knew who Southern and Molyneux were, now they do. By being prevented from speaking their profile has been lifted, probably by more than if they had actually found a venue.
But the only thing that has been debated in consequence is the right to free speech. Had they been allowed to speak the ideas themselves would have been the subject but those have been presented as untouchable and unhearable.
That's ironic coming from you. trump's behaviour shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the role of a free press in a free society. So much for your much vaunted right to free speech.
Actually Trump's behaviour shows he understands the free press and society better than most and is playing it accordingly. He is responsible for raising more subjects for debate than most of his predecessors.
He may understand the media and be practiced at using it to his advantage but is he encouraging rational debate or is he inciting civil unrest?
Well, he's not above inciting violence towards hecklers, as has been seen,
You will sometimes hear that any biological differences among populations are likely to be small, because humans have diverged too recently from common ancestors for substantial differences to have arisen under the pressure of natural selection. This is not true. The ancestors of East Asians, Europeans, West Africans and Australians were, until recently, almost completely isolated from one another for 40,000 years or longer, which is more than sufficient time for the forces of evolution to work. Indeed, the study led by Dr. Kong showed that in Iceland, there has been measurable genetic selection against the genetic variations that predict more years of education in that population just within the last century.
What is that – about the 6th time you've posted that?
Obsession, that is.
Sarah Sanders is the spokesperson for the president so she cant express what her own opinion is that is not what she is there fore, she speaks for the president.
The press in America has never been more free or robust its tin foil lunacy to think its any different.
Most of the American media has totally abandoned any pretence of balance with 90% of coverage anti Trump and everyone knows it. Look at the ratings of the cable networks, look at who fills arenas, look at the most popular podcasts and there is a yearn for a more balanced approach to what is going on.
I listen to Ben Shapiro, s podcast every morning at the gym and sure he is very conservative and is totally upfront about it and he climbs into Trump pretty much everyday, he slays him when he stuffs up and gives him a little praise when he gets it right
Between 2013 and 2015 Journalist rated at 23-25% on the most trusted professions (close to bottom). The public's image of the press was already in the tank before Trump emerged. Anyone who follows the US political scene can't have missed the recent epidemic of egregious 'press sins', including sleeping with multiple sources, colluding with political operatives to sow false narratives in the public debate (far worse than the Russians in my view), quoting sources where none exist, producing headlines that don't match the story, failing to fact check and just being dead wrong, and failing to retract when an impartial press would have. That is something you can't blame on Trump.
Here in NZ we have labelling of people as far right, alt right etc as a way of smearing the person so that there views are easily dismissed. What this tells me is that those reporters just don't understand what far right is. The identity politics pursued by the left is a larger threat to democracy than Trumps ongoing war with the press. Pete's cartoon further up the page linking Trump with dictators and tyrants from history is just more of the same and not credible.
The right, including some on this site, also use "labelling" to dismiss people they disagree with, looney left comes to mind.
You might ask yourself, David, why the press is consistently anti-Trump, The old joke about everyone in the battalion being out of step except one soldier comes to mind.
I think Kitty that you will find your average journalist is from NY or LA they grew up upper middle class and went to university and they will be a typical of all their cohorts and never rub shoulders with anyone not in their elite little group.
Its a bubble of snobby elitism which is why they are still protesting on the streets after Trump won and they are still perplexed that he rates higher than Trudeau, Merkel, Macron, May and even Obama.
The left have turned into class warrior snobs.
That is unproveable, even if I had nothing better to do than investigate it.
These are all generalisations.
Perhaps, they do, but it is far less pervasive than the left, who resort to tags like fascist, nazi, homophobe, sexist, racist, etc to deprive their targets of a right to express an opinion.
Unfair. I dismiss them first and only then label them loony Left. And it is almost always the views rather than individuals that I attach that label to. Individuals I normally just categorize as Lefties and presume they wear that proudly.
Trevors_elbow
So Pete… we have seen repeatedly Fox and CNN, and others 'shape' the news by slanting things one way or the other with misquoted, quotes out of context, camera coverage which doesn't show what's going on, completely ignoring some statements which dont fit their narrative, wrapping editorial opinion around a report to slant coverage and push a message, the facial expressions pushing cues to the watch to try and manipulate the viewers response, etc etc
Hell they have even invented people to push a story
Fake News is out there. It is the enemy of the people.
Just because its Trump saying this doesn't mean he is wrong. The traditional Fourth Estate is failing big time
Yes it could be a wedge to push censorship and state control… Curran wants to do that here… but the Trump as dictator is again over stretch typical of liberal smear by association attempts…
Trump bashing is just plain boring. The Dems should be organising on the ground and raising greenbacks to get out the vote not for ever using ambush attacks via their media stooges to try and RIP him over. Nov 2020 is not far off..

Going to be a busy day sorting the news out from the 'fake news'.
It'll be easier to not read anything and have the quandary of deciding whether to believe it or not – I'll just wait for the President to tell me what's true. He'll know. Anyone who gets to be President will be 110% right.
I mean he sorted out North Korea and their nuclear nonsense.
"UN experts: North Korea hasn't stopped nuke and missile programs"

https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/106022287/trumps-commission-finds-no-evidence-on-his-widespread-voter-fraud-claims
The Democrat States refused to supply data and even oppose a census question asking about citizenship.
I wonder if he did anything about his daughter (and others in the family) being enrolled to vote in more than one place, which is against the law.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fox-news-reporter-secretly-monitored-by-obama-administration-court-documents/
Obama took it to the next level and this was far more insidious than calling people out on twitter, he constantly went after Fox and no one feared the end of the 1st amendment. The media,s horse lost the race and they are upset, they have also found their failing ratings revived by going hard anti Trump.
Trump is as robust as they are and they are having a cry, its also the mid terms and Trump needs to turn out his base and get them excited.
He also spied on several journalists, obtained warrants to seize the phone and email records etc. Not much fuss concern for a free press then.
Politics is supposedly about representing the wishes of 'We the People' BUT in some cases it is clearly more about 'ME the Demagogue'.. no points for guessing a few in recent times !
Onevof Trumpy's Troopers triggers a mine
Trump-supporting grandmother confused as Twitter bot in fake account crackdown
Nina Tomasieski logs on to Twitter before the sun rises. Seated at her dining room table with a nearby TV constantly tuned to Fox News, the 70-year-old grandmother spends up to 14 hours a day tweeting the praises of President Trump and his political allies, particularly those on the ballot this fall, and deriding their opponents.
She's part of a dedicated band of Trump supporters who tweet and retweet Keep America Great messages thousands of times a day. "Time to walk away Dems and vote RED in the primaries," she declared in one of her voluminous tweets, adding, "Say NO to socialism & hate."
Twitter and other sites … have targeted automated or robot-like accounts known as bots, which authorities say were used to cloak efforts by foreign governments and political bad actors in the 2016 elections.
But the screening has repeatedly and erroneously flagged Tomasieski and users like her.

Melanoma is usually associated with the skin, but the term melanoma itself refers to cancer that develops in pigment cells called melanocytes. These cells are mostly found in the skin, but are also in other areas of the body, such as the middle layer of the eye, the inner ear, the bones, and the heart. When cancer starts in the melanocyte cells in the middle eye, called the uvea, it is called intraocular, or uveal, melanoma. This is a rare cancer, but it is also the most common cancer of the eye, accounting for between 3 and 5 percent of all melanomas, according to the 2017 study, "Uveal melanoma: epidemiology, etiology, and treatment of primary disease."
The iris is the colored area at the front of the eye.
The ciliary body is the ring of tissue that is responsible for changing the size of the pupil and the shape of the lens. It is located behind the iris.
The choroid are blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to the eye.
Around 90 percent of intraocular cancers first develop in the choroid, according to the American Cancer Society. These cancers are larger and more likely to spread to other areas than those that begin in the iris.
During the course of the disease, some people experience complications, such as bulging eyes, a change in the color of the iris, poor vision, changes in vision or vision loss, retinal detachment, or red, painful eye.
About 2,500 new cases of intraocular cancer are diagnosed each year. It was previously thought that it was caused by excessive sun exposure; research has not found a direct link to support that, although those with fair skin and blue eyes are most at risk, according to the Ocular Melanoma Foundation. The exact cause is not yet understood.
Intraocular tumors are described as small, medium, or large.
Small indicates the tumor is 5 to 16 mm in diameter and 1-3 mm thick.
Medium indicates the tumor is 16 mm in diameter or less and 3.1 to 8 mm thick.
Large indicates the tumor is any diameter or more than 16 mm in diameter and at least 2 mm thick.
A biopsy is rarely needed and can cause complications. Biopsies can sometimes result in retinal detachment, which is corrected by surgery. If you are diagnosed with intraocular melanoma, your doctor may request additional tests to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
If diagnosed early, your doctor might suggest what is called "watchful waiting." This means you will have periodic exams to closely monitor your condition. Your doctor may recommend further treatment if the situation changes.
The most common treatment for intraocular melanoma is surgery, according to the National Cancer Institute. Depending on the size of the tumor, your doctor will remove the tumor and surrounding tissue, which can include the eye and part of the optic nerve or the eye, eyelid, muscles, nerves, and fat in the eye socket.
The medication aldesleukin (Proleukin) has been approved by Food and Drug Administration for treatment, according to National Institutes of Health, and ongoing studies are researching different immunotherapy and chemotherapy options to treat this disease, according to the AAO.
About 50 percent of those diagnosed with this cancer will develop metastases by 10-15 years after diagnosis. Some people will live for 20 to 25 years before metastases. There is a 6- to 12-month average survival after metastases.
Does Melanoma Always Start on the Skin?

Victorian government backs new cancer projects
April 5, 2018 Latest News
The Victorian government has announced it will invest $1.5 million, along with $1 million from Cancer Council Victoria, to support eight new research projects focused on cancers with poor survival outcomes.
The five-year survival rate for people diagnosed with cancer has increased from 48 percent in 1986 to 68 percent in 2016.
Low survival cancers are defined as cancers with a five-year survival rate of less than 30 percent. These include cancers of the pancreas, liver, lung, oesophagus, gallbladder, brain and unknown primary, mesothelioma and acute myeloid leukaemia.
These cancers makeup nearly 20 percent of all cancer diagnoses, yet represent more than 40 percent of cancer deaths each year.
Cancer Council Victoria also announced two post-doctoral fellowships into low-survival cancers, to the amount of $151,000, to support Victorian scientists who have recently completed a PhD.
"We need to do everything in our power to boost survival rates for all cancers. While Victoria has some of the best rates in the world – more research into these low survivor cancers, is central to saving the lives of Victorians," said Victorian health minister Jill Hennessy.
"We've got some of the best cancer research and clinical trials coming out of our state – our goal is to keep saving lives of patients here – and abroad."
According to Cancer Council Victoria CEO, Todd Harper, "Of the 33,000 Victorians diagnosed with cancer each year, about 24 per cent are told they have a cancer with low survival, meaning they have a less than 50 per cent chance of surviving five years or more after a diagnosis.
"By investing in research we will build the capacity of the Victorian research sector into low survival cancers, grow the critical mass of researchers and, over time, drive improvements in survival."


If their is anyway i can help just message me. I'd like to have a complete game that takes longer and is more polished, than something rushed, full of glitches, and unplayable. As you know what they say. "You can have only one first impression."
I agree with Stu. From what I've seen so far you have a beautiful game going and I would love to help you guys develop it as well in whatever way I can. Keep up the good work!!
Yeah, I understand. In that case, please, please don't go with pre-alpha and just wait until the game is almost finished. Cause we still plan to go with the Early Access approach so we can include players in development and listen to their feedback. On the other hand it means releasing very buggy game with limited content and gradually fixing bugs and adding more gameplay and content.
And thank you both guys for offering help, we'll definitelly need a lot of feedback when we release the first version of the game and onward. On the other hand, there's the issue I mentioned above. I'd prefer if you loved the game rather than not being happy with early stages of the game and perhaps never coming back.
I'd be happy to help as well, I agree with stu about the "only one first impression" thing, but there is always room to grow and how I see it is if you take the time to go through and find bugs and glitches in the pre-alpha, then you will grow better at the game and understand more of it, as well as anticipation of the updates and such as the come along. From my experience, testing games is a lot of fun and like I said before, you want to play the game more and more since there is always more content being added, whereas when the game is completed and released, it will have that content and it won't update as much.
Thanks mate . I can't wait for this game the teaser had me hooked. I will be getting it no matter what. I will also be streaming it when it is out.
