Exciting news, Crossfit Variance is growing and that means a new location! Just a short walk from our old gym, we're moving to 54 W Dane St. Unit M. Beverly, MA beginning April 1st. Stop by for a free class or scroll down to learn more.
CrossFit Variance will continue operating with the same great programming and coaching during both this transitional period and after our grand re-opening in late Spring 2019.
The schedule for our new space can be found below along with more information about our community and how to sign up for a Free Intro Class!
CrossFit is universally scalable, meaning it is open and available to everyone regardless of skill or fitness level. At Crossfit Variance, we use an inclusive methodology to include new members. Our coaches will work with you to teach the movements safely as you join us for a workout.
We believe that incorporating new members into class right away expedites the learning process and emphasizes the community environment. Drop by our new location or reach out to speak with one of our coaches directly to learn more. We look forward to seeing you!
CrossFit Variance has a tight knit, open, and endearing community founded upon meaningful relationships that extend outside of the gym.
The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and will work with you to accomplish your goals. The atmosphere created by the staff and it's members is incredibly welcoming, accepting, and supportive. Just as importantly the programming is varied, educational, and effective.
From the knowledgeable coaches to the welcoming member community, this is the place to get a great workout. The classes are fun, challenging and always varied. There is also emphasis on overall fitness, nutrition, mobility and gymnastics. I would highly recommend, it is life changing.
Coaches are top notch! Crossfit Variance is a welcoming and positive community! The workouts will challenge you and motivate you to push yourself farther than what you initially thought possible. All fitness levels are welcome! Joining CFV has proved to be everything I was looking for and so much more!
Didn't know what Crossfit was. Sounded tough. Looked harder. I spoke to the owner Paul who recommended just coming in to try and introduction class. I did and let me tell you - it was probably one of the best life decisions I've made. The group training & motivation along with Paul's teaching and coaching have you sitting at work counting down the hours until you can leave work and go to Crossfit. My suggestion? Try it. Go there, don't be intimidated and you'll likely instantly see just how cool this place is.
Could not imagine a better gym than CrossFit Variance. Between the coaching and wods it is by far the best. When I first started at variance I was recovering from an injury that limited me to only using one arm. The coaches were always so great about helping me scale the workouts so I could still participate. Overall, Paul created an amazing program at variance and I highly recommend it!
Crossfit Variance is top notch! CFV has motivated and knowledgeable coaches that go the extra mile for their athletes, challenging workouts that are adaptable for all ability levels, and a fun and welcoming community environment! I am a below the knee amputee adaptive crossfitter and I have not come across a local gym more dedicated to working with me as a team to create challenging and adapted workouts to address my specific needs and help me reach my personal goals. Take the first step and join today! You will not be disappointed!
When I first walked into CrossFit Variance 15 months ago, I was immediately hooked! As a middle aged male (50), I was experiencing lower back aches/pains and limited flexibility. CrossFit Variance's coaching is superb and they scale the workouts down to meet my level. 15 months later, I feel better than I've felt in 15 years. I love the fact that the workouts are different every day - I've not had the same workout twice in 15 months! I've met a lot of new friends in a very positive (and healthy) atmosphere.
Want to see what we're all about? Your first class is always on us! Send us a message or drop by our new location. We look forward to meeting you!

If you arrived here expecting something like this, you probably experienced a bit of a jolt.
We get that, too. About 60 times a day.
Such are the surprises, not all of them good, of building an entirely new web presence, from the ground up, with a little volunteer crew. Live and learn. It's been fun.
And it still is. As you'll probably find as you navigate your way through this website, it's all still very much under construction. In some ways, we're making it up as we go along, so your comments, feedback, thoughts, complaints—and, OK, praise—is eagerly sought and hugely welcome.
And if you've been here before, and now you're feeling a bit lost, allow us to get you reoriented.
Our 60second Recap video study guides—where it all began—are all here. They've just been renamed. Now, you'll find everything from 1984 to Shakespeare's King Lear in the "Study Guides" section of the site. Also, once you get to the book you're looking for, don't forget to scroll down. We will be moving the slider with the list of 60second Recap videos up higher on the page (one of countless tweaks on the docket) but, for now, it's down a smidge or two on the right-hand side of the page. Sorry about that.
Also, an algorithm has "alphabetized" all our book titles. (Joy.) So if you're looking for, say, The Awakening, you'll find it under "T" instead of under "A." We'll be fixing that soon.
Looking for Recap Resource? (Those are all the videos about how to write a paper, plus lit terminology you need to know for school.) Yeah, we were, too. For now, it lives at the verrrrrrrry bottom of the homepage in the Quick Links section. We'll make that more findable—for you and for us.
Finally, our old friend "Pick of the Week" has been renamed. You'll find the vast collection of past Picks by clicking on the "Book Reviews" link in the black bar with our logo right above this post. Or, you can navigate directly to this week's review by choosing the yellow sticky tab (featuring the name of the most current review book, and the author) at the top of the page.
Now go have a look around. Write, comment, and don't forget to vote.
We're here for you. Tell us what you think!

Trump owns between $100,001 and $250,000 of American Express in his Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management account. American Express common stock has underperformed the market over the last year, and (as contrarians) that's part of the reason we like the stock and own shares within our Blue Harbinger Disciplined Growth strategy. Specifically, AXP is down because it lost an exclusivity deal with Costco last year, it lost an anti-trust case related to usage fees (discount fees) on its cards, and the company spent a lot of money on marketing efforts that were not as fruitful as hoped. HOWEVER, we believe American Express is a powerful brand name, with significant growth potential in its GNMS segment (which utilizes a business model more similar to Visa and MasterCard), and it has opportunities to benefit from significant secular growth in the years ahead. You can read more of our views on American Express here.
Trump owns between $100,001 and $250,000 of Johnson & Johnson in his Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management account. We own JNJ in both our Blue Harbinger Income Equity and Disciplined Growth strategies. We believe the company's diverse healthcare segments help protect it from market volatility, it gives us important exposure to the healthcare sector, and it offers an attractive 2.84% dividend yield. You can read more of our views on Johnson and Johnson here.
Trump owns between $15,001 and $50,000 of Procter & Gamble in his Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management account. We own it in our Blue Harbinger Disciplined Growth and Income Equity strategies because of its low volatility, strong dividend yield (+3.3%), and continued price appreciation potential. The company has been focusing its portfolio of brands on only the most profitable, it has been managing costs assertively, and it has continued growth opportunities particularly in emerging markets. You can read more of our views on Procter & Gamble here.
Trump owns between $50,001 and $100,000 of Phillips 66 in his JP Morgan account. We own Phillips 66 in our Income Equity strategy. We like PSX because we believe it is undervalued by the market. Specifically, we believe the market is not giving Phillips 66 enough credit for its expanding midstream and chemicals businesses which warrant higher valuations. We also believe Phillips 66 will benefit from a recover in oil prices. You can read more of our views on Phillips 66 here.
Caterpillar is one of Trump's largest single stock holdings as he owns it in his Oppenheimer account ($500,001 - $1,000,000), in his Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management account ($500,001 - $1,000,000), and in his JP Morgan account ($250,001 - $500,000). We also own Caterpillar in our Income Equity strategy. It's not surprising Trump owns so much Caterpillar because it fits into a narrative he likes to tell about middle class jobs and hard-working Americans (you can read more about this here). We like Caterpillar because it's cheap and we believe it's going to appreciate in value tremendously in the coming years as the market cycle turns. Plus it pays a big 4.3% dividend yield. You can read more about our views on Caterpillar here.
*Note: Donald Trump's holdings can be viewed here.

Author Notes: This buttercream, in my opinion, is one of the most under-utilized. A bit "old-fashioned," it was sort of discarded largely by home cooks in favor of the much simpler American buttercream. But pudding-style frosting provides so many options; it's great for making exciting flavors, like dark chocolate, caramel, or butterscotch: Just start with the pudding and go from there. In general, you will want your pudding for buttercream a bit thicker than you might for just eating, so if you're using a favorite recipe, up the starch by 5 to 10%.
In a small pot, bring the milk (or other liquid) and half the sugar to a simmer over medium heat. In a small heat-safe bowl, whisk the remaining sugar and flour to combine.
When the milk is hot, pour a small amount into the flour mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the pot of milk and whisk thoroughly. Continue to cook over medium-low heat until the mixture comes to a boil—large bubbles should emerge from the center of the pot.
Remove the pot from the heat and transfer to a shallow bowl. Cover directly with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Transfer the cooled pudding to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip for 1 to 2 minutes to aerate. With the mixer running, gradually add room-temperature butter in 1/2-tablespoon chunks. Continue adding and mixing until all of the butter is added and the buttercream is light and smooth.
Beat in the vanilla and mix to combine. The buttercream can be used immediately or refrigerated in an airtight container.
Wow. This was great. It almost has a cream cheese frosting consistency...maybe. Anyways, I used this as a filling for whoopie pies, worked perfectly.
Best frosting ever! I used half dark brown sugar and infused the milk with vanilla bean pods. It tastes like cookie dough but not grainy or heavy. Fabulous!
i tried a d for some reason as I started adding butter it started to separate. i finished with a really grainy greasy frosting that tasted like butter. can you help me trouble shoot?
Are you describing lumps of "pudding" in the butter? If so, the "pudding" had set too firmly because it cooled too much or it was cooked too much.
how would you make a chocolate version of this?


The curriculum of the program is designed for the JISPA scholars to meet all the course requirements suggested by the IMF Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, which include crucial subjects of basic macroeconomic concepts (macroeconomic and microeconomic theories, monetary economics, international trade and finance, financial economics, public finance and taxation, econometrics) with strong emphasis on macroeconomic policy formulation and public finance, central banking and monetary policy, and financial market policy.
The first-year curriculum introduces core required courses that provide the scholars with tools, concepts, and theories in economics and related fields. These courses expose the scholars to cutting-edge knowledge in macroeconomics, thus helping them to analyze public policy issues within inclusive and coherent theoretical and empirical frameworks. The scholars start preparations for a master's thesis toward the end of the first-year. Before the spring term of the first year, all scholars need to decide their research topic and choose an academic supervisor. In addition, the scholars with their supervisor's guidance have the opportunity to enroll in elective courses that help them explore their research topic.
The second-year curriculum consists of elective courses and a master's thesis writing. Practical and policy-oriented second-year courses strive to expand the theoretical and empirical capabilities developed in the first year. Elective courses are composed of recommended and other elective courses. The scholars identify a unique, macroeconomic related issue and write a master's thesis on a research topic of their choice while participating in advanced seminar sessions under supervision of faculty members. Through the process, the scholars have an opportunity to analyze their research topic in depth by integrating theories, methods, concepts and their practical applications that they have acquired in the entire two-year program.

DMV Experts Solar Roofing and Panel Installation
Are you looking for a more efficient and environmentally friendly energy source? Then solar roofs and panels are an excellent choice for you! Solar roofs are energy-efficient while still being visually appealing. Save money on your energy expenditures while maintaining an aesthetically beautiful roof. Continue reading to find out everything you need to know about solar roofs.
What Service Do You Need? *
What Are Solar Roofs?
Solar roof shingles are designed to look like ordinary roof tiles. Solar roof shingles are unique in that they can generate power from sunshine. When sunlight hits a single solar roof tile with a particular surface, one electron from the light particle is naturally knocked off. In summary, a solar roof is a type that absorbs solar energy while still looking like a regular roof.
What Are The Benefits of Solar Energy?
The initial cost of solar roof installation may seem high, but it will save you a significant amount of money in the long term. It allows you to save money for as long as solar panels are installed. It considerably reduces or even eliminates your monthly power cost, enabling you to save money.
Is Eco-Friendly
Solar energy has a number of advantages for our environment, especially in terms of the ecosystem's ecology. Following are a few reasons why solar energy is a fantastic ecologically friendly alternative energy source.
Preservation of water
Decreased energy cost
Fossil-fuel independence
Unlimited and Open
Solar energy is unlimited and can be harvested by anyone using solar panels. As long as the sun rises, there will be an endless supply of energy. It is also accessible to anyone because the sun can be seen practically anywhere. All that is needed to capture this energy is something to act as a net, which in this case is solar panels.
Can Be An Alternative Power Supply
Sunlight energy, in addition to your main power source, may be captured and stored for use as a backup energy source in the case of a power outage or other power interruption. As an alternative, if you want to save money on your power bill, you may always choose to use solar energy instead of conventional energy.
What Are The Drawbacks Of Solar Energy?
Solar Doesn't Generate Electricity At Night
Considering that solar panels derive their energy from the sun, it should be noted that solar does not provide electricity overnight.
Solar Panels And Roofings Are Pricey
If you expect that solar installation would be cheap, you will be surprised because solar panels and installation are both expensive. Solar panels, on the other hand, save you money in the long run because they reduce or even eliminate your electricity expenses.
Solar Roofs Are Not Effective In Specific Places
Some places are not efficient for solar roofs because the area is not exposed well to the sun. Solar roofs are most effective in locations where the sun shines straight and unobstructed for long periods of time.
How Much Energy Can Solar Roofs Produce?
Currently, the vast majority of domestic solar panels on the market are approved to produce between 250 and 400 watts per hour of electricity. Typically, solar panels for household usage have capacities between one and four megawatts (kW), which is sufficient to meet the majority of your electrical requirements. It depends on the mastery of the solar panel installers.
3 Types of Solar Panels
Solar panels called single-crystalline panels, which are also called monocrystalline solar panels may be the best way to remember and explain them. They're called mono panels because they're made from a single piece of silicon and processed with the Czochralski method.
Polycrystalline solar panels can also be called "multi-crystalline." This word helps describe its composition again. There are many pieces of silicon that are melted, treated, and molded into rectangles to make poly panels, which are what these solar panels are called in the alternative energy field.
Amorphous (Thin Film) Solar Panels
Thin-film solar panels are the least expensive and least efficient of all the solar panel options that you can choose from. Solar panels made of thin-film materials are put on an inert surface, like glass, to make photovoltaic cells.
How Long Do Solar Shingles Last
In order for solar shingles to be installed in place of regular shingles, the existing shingles will need to be peeled off and replaced with the solar shingle product. In terms of lifespan, solar shingles are meant to last for 25 to 30 years, which is a reasonable timescale to consider when budgeting for future expenses.
Which is better? Solar roof or solar panels?
Solar panels are more energy-efficient than solar shingles because they can be turned to face the sun's rays, while solar shingles cannot be done. Because of this strategy, they are able to catch more sunlight. Alternatively, the effectiveness of solar shingles is governed by their placement on the roof and the direction of the top with respect to receiving sunlight.
How Long Does Solar Roofing Installation Take?
The length of time it takes to build your roof depends on its size and complexity, but typical installations take five to seven working days. When the utility gives you Permission to Operate, you may start utilizing Solar Roof once it's been installed (PTO). The amount of PTO required varies by geography and usefulness.
Solar Panel Maintenance
Solar panels need minimal upkeep to work correctly. They merely require a quick cleaning to keep dirt, leaves, and other debris from blocking the sun's beams. Only significant snowfall or a decline in your panels' energy production may need more thorough maintenance. Let's look at ways to extend the life of your solar panels.
Signs That Your Solar Shingles Need Maintenance
Power output is low and erratic.
Glass casings with cracks or damaged glass casings
Problems with the inverter
Solar panels are almost 20 years old.
Problems with the wiring
Presence of debris
Discoloration and burn markings
Materials that are substandard or counterfeit
Unexpected power outages
How Much Does Solar Shingles Cost?
Solar panel installer companies' solar shingle roof services vary from $60,000 to $75,000, depending on the slope, pitch, and size of your roof, according to the National Solar Energy Society. On a typical-sized single-story home, budget $21 to $25 per square foot, or $2,100 to $2,500 per square installed, depending on the size of the house.
Are Solar Roofs Worth It?
Yes, if you want to use an environmentally beneficial energy source while saving money in the long term. If you believe that solar panels and roofs are expensive, you are correct. Solar panels, on the other hand, save you a lot of money in the long run. Solar panels typically pay for themselves in 6-10 years in most solar homes. Solar roofs save both the environment and your wallet.

China steel mill boss detained for pollution offences - state media
Sunday, 21 July 2019 23:19 GMT
SHANGHAI, July 22 (Reuters) - The boss of a steel mill in the city of Tangshan in Hebei province has been detained after his plant was found to have violated anti-smog restrictions, state media reported on Monday. The Tangyin Steel Plant, owned by the Tangshan Iron and Steel Group, had failed to carry out a mandatory 50% production cut, imposed by the local government, the Futures Daily newspaper reported.
The paper said all three of its blast furnaces were still in full operation when the plant was visited by inspectors on July 19, and its general manager had been detained.
Reuters was not immediately able to contact the plant or its parent company.
Chinese steel output has reached record levels this year, with much of the increase coming from smaller mills with lower environmental compliance costs. The surge has raised concerns that China's war on pollution has lost steam as the economy slows.
Environmental officials have been at pains to say that production restrictions will be rigorously enforced this year, with the steel sector still a major target.
Tangshan, China's biggest steel producing city, said in June that it would impose output restrictions on local steel firms until August in order to curb smog.

This is an interesting time of year. As the new year approaches and getting healthier is top of mind for many, the holidays ramp up and it's harder and harder to get to the gym and stick to a routine. Many skip workouts, but also increase calorie intake. That's why this fitness plan is here! We don't want you to get off track. Let's focus on a simple strength training plan that you can do anywhere, anytime, so you can push through the holiday season and into 2018 stronger than ever.
This progressive, four-week plan can be found in the Anytime Fitness mobile app, under the workouts tab (Plans > Beginner > Strength > No Equipment). Even though it's labeled "beginner," it's great for any person of any fitness level. There are three workouts a week, with a recommended day of active rest in between.
During week one, you'll start at a moderate intensity. The exercises will mainly target the muscles that surround your knees, hips, and shoulder joints. These unilateral exercises will help you increase your muscular strength by using your bodyweight alone. As you progress into weeks two through four, you'll notice that the workouts start to utilize supersets, which will allow you to work more muscle groups at once, and make even more progress.
Even though this is just a bodyweight strength training plan, you will feel muscles being used that you might not typically feel from a free weight or resistance machine exercise. Trust me, when you do the lateral lunges, you will feel it the next day! So, let's get going with workout one. There's no reason to wait!

Christopher Buckley grew up believing that his father, the colossally prolific writer, editor and "Firing Line" interlocutor William F. Buckley Jr., was the most articulate man in America. What, then, was it like for the son to receive an e-mail communiqué from his father that began with "Daer cgurisito" as a greeting?
That wasn't Latin — although both father and son inordinately enjoyed lobbing Latinate constructions. Nor was it a family affectation like "Pup," the name by which Christopher called his father. It was the gibberish version of "Dear Christo," and it was no mere message on a computer screen. It was, as the famed conservative patriarch became increasingly confused and enfeebled, the writing on the wall.
"Losing Mum and Pup" explains how the younger Mr. Buckley lost both his parents within the space of a year and lived to reel off bon mots about it. It eulogizes two people whose only child deemed them larger than life, recognizing that both Godzilla and Mount Rushmore have larger-than-life stature. To some extent this book about the senior Buckleys is an act of expiation, the apologia of a son who sometimes found himself "tempted to pack them off to earlier graves." To some degree it demonstrates, with the Swiftian urbanity that distinguishes Christopher Buckley's own literary career, how much about this family's story is best left unsaid.
"So much for the chic and stunning Mrs. Buckley," she would say ironically when not looking her very best. The phrase was all too applicable when, after she died of an infection following a gruesome illness, her cremated remains came home in a shopping bag. "There was an undeniable symmetry to it: How many shopping bags had I seen Mum toting during her lifetime?" Christopher asks. Life à la Buckley has left him all too well versed in the art of finding merriment in ghastly situations.
When his mother died, Christopher could not awaken his father to tell him the news. "By now he had taken enough sleeping pills to narcotize a rhino," he explains. But soon enough father and son would be "filling the dining room with the sound of dueling antlers" as they battled over "Pup's borderline Scrooginess in the matter of the household grape." Translation: Christopher was angered by his father's reluctance to pay for enough wine to accommodate the large crowd expected at his mother's memorial service. This occurred "after a rather trying week in which I was Cordelian in my filiality," as the son wrote in a peevish e-mail message the morning after that apparently ugly — but, in Mr. Buckley's smartly written version, improbably amusing — dispute. His father turned out to have absolutely no memory of the run-in.
Where else in "Losing Mum and Pup" does memory falter? The author's father had many young protégés, but Christopher recalls nothing in the way of competition or rivalry. The son's banishment for reasons of political apostasy from the National Review, the magazine founded by his father, also plays no role here, ostensibly because the book was finished in September 2008, a month before that fracas.
However ironclad Christopher's defenses may be, they break down during this book's most honestly descriptive sections. "We can fool some of the diseases some of the time," he wrote in "Boomsday," a satirical novel suggesting suicide as a way of disposing of an aging population. "But we can't fool all of them all of the time." The senior Mr. Buckley, who died at the age of 82 in February 2008 at the family home in Stamford, Conn., was trying to fool both emphysema and diabetes. And that, in an improbably funny book that will hit home hard with adult children of declining parents, was only for starters.
This was part of the mounting evidence that the son would soon be paying his second big-ticket visit to the same Stamford funeral home. (Christopher's astonishment at the bureaucratic nightmare that accompanied his parents' deaths is also part of this story.) And when the senior Mr. Buckley died, his son moved "across the threshold into the Green Room to the river Styx." The events described in this book are enough to saddle an otherwise punctilious writer with metaphors that are as mixed as his emotions. Read it and chortle. Read it and weep.

Q: When did our universe and the Star Trek universe diverge? Note that my question assumes as a given that Star Trek is in an alternate universe which diverged from ours at some point in history.
That seems really, really obvious and undeniable to me.
So the question then becomes: at what point in time did the two universes diverge and have different histories?

A: This actual question is addressed in the fantastic book Star Trek Chronology by Michael and Denise Okuda.
Unfortunately I can't quite find exactly where it was that they wrote it in the book (I will continue searching for that and update my answer accordingly), but I am sure that they explain that there is a divergence, notably as pointed out in the question the absence of WWIII, the Eugenics Wars, the launch of Voyager 7 and Nomad probes.
They come to the conclusion that the point of divergence was WWII.
This would sit about right with the occurrences, as there seems to be no significant changes to history prior to WWII (the events of corrections to the timeline made by Kirk and Spock in The Guardian of Forever seem to re-establish our timeline).  In 1947, the events of Little Green Men occur which are (well we assume anyway :P) in a different timeline.  Another aspect is that Khan, assuming he didn't age in the Botany Bay was about in his 40s by the 1990s, meaning he was born prior to TOS slightly after WWII.
If you want to take the viewpoint that any minor discrepancy in the timeline counts as the point of divergence, then you would be looking at Death Wish (VGR) where Quinn takes Voyager back to before the Big Bang - that didn't happen in our universe (that we know of) meaning the two universes diverged before time started from our perspective.

A: And to save time, I will narrow down the possible time range for the divergence a bit.
Since SOME, but not all, of the Star Trek writers were not very good with history, several historical references from TOS to Enterprise show that the fictional universe of Star Trek was already an alternate universe at least decades before 1966.  Possibly centuries or millennia before.
It is certainly useful to know that the divergence point between our universe and the alternate universe of Star Trek is not AFTER 1969 but BEFORE 1966 and so look for it in the correct era of history.
Nobody can find the correct divergence point if they are looking in the wrong era for it.
For those who want specific examples:
What is the episode from the first season of Star Trek: The Original series, the first Star Trek series, that is usually considered the best?  "City on the Edge of Forever".
Here is a quote from the transcript of dialog from a Star Trek transcript site:
[1] http://www.chakoteya.net/StarTrek/28.htm [1]:

KIRK: I've seen old photographs of this period. An economic upheaval had occurred.
SPOCK: It was called Depression, circa 1930. Quite barbaric.

And later:

SPOCK: I've slowed down the recording we made from the time vortex.
KIRK: February 23rd, 1936. Six years from now. (reading below the headline FDR confers with slum area 'angel') The President and Edith Keeler conferred for some time today
   (Then the whole thing goes up in flames.)
KIRK: How bad?
SPOCK: Bad enough.
KIRK: The President and Edith Keeler.
SPOCK: It would seem unlikely, Jim. A few moments ago, I read a 1930 newspaper article.
KIRK: We know her future. Within six years from now, she'll become very important. Nationally famous.
SPOCK: Or Captain, Edith Keeler will die this year. I saw her obituary. Some sort of traffic accident.

Thus the local newspapers from the year they are in are dated to 1930 in the calendar used in the era of Edith Keeler.
Later McCoy talks to Edith Keeler:

MCCOY: The most common question to ask would be, where am I? I don't think I'll ask it.
EDITH: Why not?
MCCOY: The only possible answer would conclusively prove that I'm either unconscious or demented. This looks like old Earth around 1920 or 25.
EDITH: Would you care to try for 30?
MCCOY: I am unconscious, or demented.

This proves that the year is 1930 according to the calendar used by Edith Keeler.
Later:

EDITH: We can talk about that later. I have to go. My young man is taking me to a Clark Gable movie.
MCCOY: A who movie?
EDITH: A Clark Gable. Don't you know?
MCCOY: Well, I know what a movie is, but.
EDITH: That's very strange. You get some rest. I'll see you later.

and Later:

EDITH: If we hurry, maybe we can catch the Clark Gable movie at the Orpheum.
KIRK: What?
EDITH: You know, Doctor McCoy said the same thing.
KIRK: McCoy! Leonard McCoy?

So there are two separate references to a "Clark Gable movie" - despite the fact that several sources have mentioned that Clark Gable did not have any speaking roles in any movies which were released before AD 1931 and AD 1932.  It was impossible to have a "Clark Gable movie" in the year AD 1930.
There are only three explanations.
1)  Star Trek is in an alternate universe where Clark Gable became a big movie star at least a year or two earlier than in our universe.
2)  Star Trek is in an alternate universe where many persons in New York City, and perhaps most of the world, used a different calendar which had a year One which was in year AD Two or year AD Three.  Thus "City on the Edge of Forever" took place in AD 1931 or AD 1932 when Clark Gable was starting to be a big star but the people of that era  used a calendar in which the year was 1930.
3) Star Trek is in an alternate universe with some combination of the above two.
The previously quoted dialog is sufficient to prove that Star Trek happens in an alternate universe which diverged from our sometime in or before the early 1930s.
"City on the Edge of Forever" has another dialog group which also independently proves that it is in an alternate universe which has diverged from ours in or before the 1940s and 1930s.

SPOCK: This is how history went after McCoy changed it. Here, in the late 1930s. A growing pacifist movement whose influence delayed the United States' entry into the Second World War. While peace negotiations dragged on, Germany had time to complete its heavy-water experiments.
KIRK: Germany. Fascism. Hitler. They won the Second World War.
SPOCK: Because all this lets them develop the A-bomb first. There's no mistake, Captain. Let me run it again. Edith Keeler. Founder of the peace movement.
KIRK: But she was right. Peace was the way.
SPOCK: She was right, but at the wrong time. With the A-bomb, and with their V2 rockets to carry them, Germany captured the world.
KIRK: No.
SPOCK: And all this because McCoy came back and somehow kept her from dying in a street accident as she was meant to. We must stop him, Jim.

This shows that Nazi Germany must have put lot more resources and intelligence into their atomic bomb program than in our universe and/or put a lot more resources into their rocket program.
It is quite possible that an evil neo Nazi time traveler or an extraterrestrial convinced the Nazis, probably back in the 1930s, that guided missiles carrying atomic bombs were the only way to win World War II.  Then the Nazi atomic bomb and missile programs would have had more funding and resources and would have been coordinated to build atomic bombs which were small and light enough to be carried by the bigger and longer range rockets they would develop and call V2 weapons.
Thus "City on the Edge of Forever" has two separate and independent proofs that Star Trek is in an alternate universe which diverged from ours at least as early as the early 1930s and at least three decades before the period AD 1966 to AD 1996 which some have supposed the point of divergence was in.  And "City on the Edge of Forever" was neither the first nor the last episode of TOS with proof that Star Trek was already in an alternate universe in the 1960s.

A: IMO,   It diverged during WWII, on August 2, 1943,  when an obscure B-17 pilot named Gene Roddenberry  was killed in a landing accident, when his aircraft overshot the runway at it's base on Espiritu Santo, in the South Pacific. Or, at least, Roddenberry was killed in one universe,  where the events he had imagined in rough form for a story he was thinking of writing after the war began to manifest after his death as actual events rather than as fiction.  In our universe,  Roddenberry survived the accident, and two other men were killed instead.   Roddenberry was absolved of any blame for the crash. Later, after the war, he  became a writer for television,  and the events he had imagined up until August 2, 1943, manifested as a television series.  All the events in the parallel universes have been different, to one degree or another,  since Roddenberry died/lived in 1943.

A: If you accept Barbary Hambly's novel, Ishmael, as canon, the divergence is apparently prior to 1860.  In that novel, the events around the Mercer Girls episode of Seattle, Washington history (which, in our timeline, occurred in the 1860s) were already altered prior to Kirk, Spock, and McCoy (accidentally?) traveling to that time -- and landing in the timeline of TV series Here Come the Brides.  For instance, Asa Mercer was replaced by the Bolt brothers and Henry Yesler by Aaron Stemple (who turned out to be an ancestor of Amanda Grayson, hence of Spock).
Unless time travel in the Trek continuum crosses lines, this firmly places TOS and Brides in the same timeline, which was already diverged from ours at least as far back as 1852 (when the real Henry Yesler arrived in Seattle).

A: Could it be when Gary Seven was initially plucked from our history around 4000 BC.  Perhaps his presence in the universe setup our present reality.  Without him, his prodigy would never have an impact on our world.  Also, who's to say his presence on his hosting planet before being returned to Earth didn't prevent an eventual invasion of Earth which may still occur in our real timeline.

Chasing the Monk?s Shadow
Hindustan Times, May 17, 2005
?An Indian woman with a China craze, a Chinese monk with an Indian obsession; we had the same schizophrenia, the monk and I. It seemed logical to take the same road.?
New Delhi, India -- In the seventh century AD, the Chinese monk Xuanzang (earlier spelt as Hiuen Tsang or Hsuan Tsang) set off on an epic journey to India to study Buddhist philosophy from the Indian masters.
Travelling along the Silk Road, through the desolate wastes of the Gobi desert and the icy passes of Central Asia, braving brigands and blizzards, Xuanzang finally reached India, where his spiritual quest took him to Buddhist holy places and monasteries throughout the subcontinent.
By the time he returned to China eighteen years later, carrying with him nearly 600 scriptures which he translated from Sanskrit into Chinese, Xuanzang had covered an astonishing 10,000 miles. He also left a detailed record of his journey, which remains a valuable source of historical information on the regions he traversed.
Fourteen hundred years later, Mishi Saran follows in Xuanzang?s footsteps to the fabled oasis cities of China and Central Asia, and the Buddhist sites and now-vanished kingdoms in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan that Xuanzang wrote about. Travelling seamlessly back and forth in time between the seventh century and the twenty-first, Saran uncovers the past with consummate skill even as she brings alive the present through her vivid and engaging descriptions of people and places. Her gripping chronicle includes an extraordinary eyewitness account of Kabul under the Taliban regime, just one month before 9/11. Running parallel to the account of her travels is the moving story of the author?s inner journey towards a new understanding of her roots and her identity.
With its riveting mix of lively reportage, high adventure, historical inquiry and personal memoir, this delightfully written book is a path-breaking travelogue.

O ócio, no sentido vulgar do termo, remete à noção de folga, de falta de compromissos de trabalho e, nesse contexto, possui uma conotação negativa que liga a ideia de ociosidade à ideia de vadiagem e de preguiça. Na literatura e na sociologia, contudo, o termo foi e é empregado muitas vezes em sentidos distintos.

Defesa do trabalho

No âmbito do cristianismo, ainda que em diversos contextos o trabalho tenha sido apresentado como um dos castigos divinos em resposta ao pecado original, foi com a igreja calvinista que se estruturou a ideia do trabalho como um valor positivo e não um fardo. Max Weber (1864-1920) chamou essa ideologia de ética protestante e, de acordo com ela, só o trabalho, não a compaixão ou a devoção religiosa, levariam à salvação da alma. Essa mesma espécie de devoção religiosa, desta vez ligada ao trabalho e à prosperidade, contudo, fez com que muitos sacrificassem a família, a saúde e o desenvolvimento pessoal em nome de um salário que não conseguirão gastar, numa situação que remete à célebre frase presente nos portões do campo de concentração de Auschwitz, nos quais se podia ler: "o trabalho liberta".

Defesa do ócio
A defesa do ócio enquanto um momento de criação e reflexão, distinto portanto da noção de "não fazer nada", aparece na literatura do ocidente como uma resposta à sociedade industrial que tornou os indivíduos cada vez mais atarefados e presos ao mundo do trabalho. A base da teoria marxista desde o seu início era o direito progressivo do trabalhador a apropriação do ócio criativo, fazendo que a sociedade ficasse mais produtiva como um todo. Desde o século XIX, quando o jornalista francês Paul Lafargue (1842-1911) publicou seu notório O Direito à Preguiça, a noção do ócio passou a ser revista e readequada a essa nova sociedade. Subsequentemente ao texto de Lafargue, por exemplo, pode-se citar O Elogio ao Ócio, um ensaio de autoria do filósofo e matemático inglês Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), para quem o trabalho não é ou não deveria ser o objetivo da vida de um indivíduo, trazendo o ideal de um mundo em que todos possam se dedicar a atividades agradáveis, usando o tempo livre (ocioso) não apenas para se divertir, mas para ampliar seus conhecimentos e a capacidade de reflexão. Já na segunda metade do século XX, a expressão ócio criativo foi consagrada pelo texto homônimo do sociólogo italiano Domenico De Masi (1938-), publicado originalmente em 1995. Nele, De Masi analisa a questão do ócio numa sociedade pós-industrial.

De modo mais informal o autor Stephen Robins publicou uma coletânea de citações intitulada The Importance of Being Idle (em tradução livre, "A Importância de Estar Ocioso"), que inspirou e dá nome a uma canção do grupo de rock britânico Oasis. Noel Gallagher teria descoberto o livro de Stephen Robins enquanto fazia uma limpeza em sua própria garagem, tratando-se na verdade de um exemplar que pertencia a sua então namorada Sara McDonald.

Landlord Who Assaulted A Northeast Student Gets Anticipatory Bail, Demand For Racial Attack Case Against Him Gets Louder
AllIndiaWorldSportsWeird
Arun DevUpdated on Mar 13, 2017, 16:06 IST
The brutal attack on a student from Arunachal Pradesh, allegedly by his landlord, has kicked up a storm in the city's northeast (N-E) community.
eclecticnortheast
The landlord, Hemanth Kumar, allegedly attacked Higio Gungtey, a student of Christ University, and even made him lick his shoe. The incident followed a dispute over water. Even though several charges were filed against the landlord, sources said he managed to get anticipatory bail.
While members of the N-E community say Kumar should have been booked under sections of racial attack, there are still no specific laws for such attacks. The Centre is still working on adding two sections -- 153C and 509A -- which deal with punishments specifically for racial attacks.
These sections were proposed after the Centre set up the Bezbaruah Committee after Nido Tania, a student from Arunachal Pradesh, was killed in an alleged racial attack in Delhi in January 2014. However, they are still in the pipeline.
However, according to senior officers, cases can be booked under Section 295(A) and Section 153(A), which prescribe punishment for promoting enmity between communities and insulting other's religious feelings, respectively. These can be stretched to address racial attacks, they said.
screen grab/timesnow
Higio lived in a two-bedroom house owned by Kumar, a lawyer, in Hulimavu. On March 6, another tenant living in Kumar's apartment complained that they were facing water scarcity because Higio and his roommates were overusing it. Following this, Kumar allegedly first abused Higio over a phone and later turned up at his house and attacked him.
Higio said Kumar kicked him on his stomach and knees and beat him black and blue and that he was assaulted for half-an-hour. When the landlord's shoe fell off, Higio was allegedly asked to put it back and lick it.
The victim's statement details the attack, but makes no mention of a racial abuse or attack, said senior police officers. Going by the victim's statement, the landlord has been booked on charges of wrongful restraint, assault, kidnapping and criminal intimidation, they said. However, members of the N-E community are demanding that Kumar is booked for the racial attack.

Malware authors have been developing techniques with the purpose of hiding their creations from Analysis platforms. Hence, we performed a measurement of which of those are used to detect and break analysis systems based on Dynamic Binary Instrumentation (DBI) Tools.
After decades of research and development, the problem of Malware still persists. Certainly, the approach and the motivation behind malware creation and spread are changed. Nowadays there are several platforms and advanced systems that can perform accurate analysis on software and, in particular, on malware samples. For this reason, malware authors have been developing techniques to hide their creations from such platforms. E.g., They conduct some tests to check if the malware sample is running under a virtual machine or if the list, or the running process, on the system are compliant with what they would expect on a real user personal computer. Any difference added by the analysis system w.r.t a bare-metal user computer is called an artifact. If a malware sample detects it is under analysis, it can avoid any malicious actions resulting harmless. Hence, we performed a measurement of which techniques are used to detect and break analysis systems based on Dynamic Binary Instrumentation (DBI) Tools.
We have classified the detection techniques, specific for DBI Tools, in 4 categories: two of these are actually related to artifacts introduced by DBI Tool itself, i.e., Code Cache Artifacts and JIT Compiler Detection. In Fact, DBI Tools works by recompiling (using an internal Just-In-Time Compiler) the binary, adding some extra codes which perform the analysis within the binary itself. This modified code is usually stored and executed from a memory location, called code cache, different from the original code section of the binary under analysis. A malware (or any program actually) can identify the use of a JIT Compiler, for example, by looking at the pattern of memory allocations and Code Cached by changing the code while running (self-modifying code).
Another easier way that a malware sample can exploit to understand if it is under analysis, is to Detect Overheads. In fact, a binary can estimate the execution time of a function. If the execution of this function is much slower than how is expected in a real world machine, it can safely assume that some types of analysis are slowing down the system.
At last, a malware sample can look at Environment Artifacts like parent process or extra libraries loaded inside the process memory. All these small changes are indications that the sample is running in an instrumented environment.
We built a system called Arancino  which is able to detect those evasion attempts and mitigate them. We have runned our system against more than 7000 randomly chosen malware samples from VirusTotal. About 15.6% (1093) of this malware samples have shown at least one evasion technique. The most common one is the self-modifying code, followed by the detection of parent process. Arancino is available on GitHub and in the best "rosticcerie".


Harlem has a rich and proud history as the start of the civil rights movement and an incubator of American jazz and black literature. It remains a nexus of social change and activism today and is seeing waves of gentrification as Downtowners flock north of 125th Street.
Harlem's community is proud and energetic, shaped by a love of music, food and social consciousness. Block parties and pick-up basketball games are a constant part of life, but get away from the main thoroughfares and the tree-lined blocks become quiet and residential. The streets, however, can be unpredictable. Beautiful churches and elegant row houses abut housing projects just as sleek new restaurants are moving in next to hole-in-the-wall home-cooking joints. In recent years, the poverty rate in Harlem has declined, but it still remains among Manhattan's poorest neighborhoods. This has not deterred a spate of new developments and residents moving into the area.
