Requested anonymity 'to avoid betraying' or 'because betraying' ?
Two people interviewed, who are in direct communication with the elder Mr. Bush but requested anonymity to avoid betraying a confidence, said Mr. Trump had revived painful memories among the Bushes of another blunt populist: H. Ross Perot.

It appears as if the police used surveillance camera footage paired with records in private and public databases to identify the activist and find out where he works. The police then allegedly called his employer and notified them that, while the activist said he had been sick, he was really out at a protest confronting the police. He was subsequently fired.

Whether Facebook or Twitter, you've always got your game face on and are telling people how cool your life is. On Whisper, you have the ability to share authentic true raw emotions, and the feeling is freeing because it's anonymous. There's also simply the form factor of picture with overlaid text. You've heard that, normally in social media, one percent create, less than 10 percent curate and 90 percent consume. Well, 45 percent of users have created a Whisper. Whisper users are 70 percent women and more than half under 25. Where young women go, so goes the nation. We've seen it with Facebook, Snapchat and Tumblr.

Die 62. Armee ( / 62-ja armija) war ein Großverband der Roten Armee in der Zeit des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Sie war maßgeblich an der Verteidigung Stalingrads gegen die deutsche 6. Armee beteiligt.
Der Großverband wechselte in seiner Geschichte mehrmalig seine Bezeichnungen:
 7. Reservearmee vor 10. Juli 1942
 62. Armee 1942 bis 1943 (10. Juli 1942, Umbenennung)
 8. Gardearmee 1943 bis 1991 (16. April 1943, Umbenennung)
 8. Garde-Armeekorps 1992 (Umgliederung und Neuformierung)
 8. Gardearmee 2017 (Renaissance unter Verwendung der Traditionsbezeichnung)

Geschichte
Die Erstaufstellung der 62. Armee erfolgte gemäß Direktive des Hauptquartiers des Kommandos des Obersten Befehlshabers № 170465 vom 9. Juli 1942, auf Basis der 7. Reservearmee.
 Zum Anfangsbestand der 62. Armee gehörten sechs Schützendivisionen: 33. Garde-Division, 147., 181., 184., 192., 196. Schützendivision, sowie die 121. Panzerbrigade, mehrere Artillerie- und sonstige Truppenteile und Einheiten.

Die 62. Armee wurde im Juli 1942 zusammen mit der 64. Armee zwischen Tschir und Don konzentriert und der Stalingrader Front unterstellt. Im Rahmen des Unternehmens Blau näherte sich die deutsche 6. Armee Ende Juli 1942 dem Scheitelpunkt der Donschleife bei Kalatsch am Don. Vom 23. Juli an wurden feindliche Angriffe zwischen Kletskaja und Surowikino bekämpft, dabei erfolgte der Rückzug auf das linke Ufer des Don. Die Stawka entschied sich dafür, die Don-Übergänge in diesem Gebiet zu verteidigen und konzentrierte die neu aufgestellte 1. Panzerarmee (unter General Moskalenko) und die 62. Armee (unter General Kolpaktschi) im hügeligen Gelände westlich von Kalatsch. Die während der Kesselschlacht bei Kalatsch durch das XIV. Panzerkorps angesetzte Umfassung war erfolgreich. Bis zum 11. August kapitulierten nach deutschen Angaben 57.000 Rotarmisten. Die deutsche 6. Armee bildete einen Brückenkopf über den Don; das letzte Hindernis vor Stalingrad war mit zwei Wochen Verspätung überwunden. Stalingrad konnte infolge dieses Widerstandes von der Wehrmacht erst am 22. August erreicht werden.

Am 10. September 1942 wurde Wassili. I. Tschuikow Befehlshaber der 62. Armee, als Stabschef fungierte N. I. Krylow und Mitglied des Militärrats war K. A. Gurow. Die 62. Armee hielt sich am westlichen Wolga-Ufer und trug in der Schlacht von Stalingrad die Hauptlast bei der Abwehr der Angriffe des deutschen LI. Armeekorps auf die Innenstadt von Stalingrad.

Am 14. September traf als Verstärkung die 13. Garde-Schützen-Division (Generalmajor Rodimzew) ein, um den weiteren deutschen Vormarsch aufzuhalten. Am 21. September erreichte auch die 284. Schützen-Division (Oberst Batjuk) das westliche Wolgaufer und sicherte zwischen Stahlwerk "Roter Oktober" und den Mamajew-Hügel. Die 13. GSD. musste am 22. September zwölf feindliche Angriffe abwehren. Ein sowjetischer Gegenangriff mit der 284. und 95. Schützendivision wurde am nächsten Tag ebenfalls abgeschlagen. Am 27. September verblieb der hart umkämpfte Mamajew-Hügel auf der Nordwestseite in deutschem Besitz, nur der Osthang wurde von der 284. Schützen-Division gehalten.

 2. Panzerkorps (26., 27. und 99. Panzerbrigade, 2. mot. Schützenbrigade)

Von der 1. Gardearmee im Laufe des September/Oktober an die 62. Armee übertragen
 39. Garde-Schützendivision, Generalmajor S. S. Gurjew
 300. Schützendivision, Oberst Iwan Michailowitsch Afonin
 308. Schützendivision, Oberst L. N. Gurtjew
 399. Schützendivision, Oberst Nikolai Grigorjewitsch Trawnikow

Am 29. September war der Orlowka-Frontvorsprung abgetrennt, die eingeschlossenen Sowjetverbände kämpften bis zur eigenen Vernichtung. Ende September 1942 verlagerte das Oberkommando der 6. Armee den Angriffsschwerpunkt in die Industriekomplexe im Norden der Stadt. Die 284. Schützendivision löste die 13. Gardeschützen-Division auf dem Mamajew-Hügel ab. Nördlich davon richteten sich die neu über die Wolga zugeführte 39. Garde-Schützendivision, die 194. und 308. Schützen-Division Schützengräben zur Verteidigung des Westzuganges zu den Fabriken "Roter Oktober" und "Barrikady" ein. Die Kämpfe in Stalingrad konzentrierten sich am 6. und 7. Oktober 1942 auf die vorgelagerten Arbeitersiedlungen des Traktorenwerkes. Die Fabrikhallen des Traktorenwerkes und der Ziegelei wurden zu Festungen ausgebaut. Die sowjetischen Truppen im Norden (124., 143. und 115. Spezial-Brigade) konnten ihre Linien in Rynok, Spartanowka und entlang der Arbeitersiedlung "Traktorenwerk" am Fluss Metschetka halten. Die 62. Armee gruppierte ihre Kräfte um; die neu eingetroffene 37. Garde-Division (Generalmajor V. G. Scholudjew) erhielt den Auftrag, den Südteil des Traktorenwerkes zu halten und die 95. Schützendivision besetzte den Raum zwischen Traktorenwerk und Geschützfabrik "Barrikady". Die Gesamtlage der 62. Armee war am 14. Oktober besonders kritisch, denn sämtliche Telefonleitungen zu den einzelnen Kampfverbänden waren durch Artilleriefeuer und schwere Luftangriffe völlig zusammengebrochen. Die 62. Armee hatte vom 13. bis zum 17. Oktober in der Schlacht um das Traktorenwerk insgesamt 13.000 Mann verloren (25 % der 53.000 westlich der Wolga eingesetzten Soldaten).

Durch die am Morgen des 19. November 1942 begonnene Operation Uranus wurde die deutsche 6. Armee innerhalb von fünf Tagen eingeschlossen.
Die Truppen General Tschuikows hielten die folgenden Monate im Häuserkampf auf einem schmalen Streifen am westlichen Wolga-Ufer stand. Am 1. Januar 1943 wurde die 62. Armee der Don-Front unterstellt. Nach dem Abschluss der Operation Uranus begann die Rote Armee am 10. Januar die Operation Kolzo, die letzte Großoffensive gegen die Reste der deutschen 6. Armee. Am 31. Januar drangen sowjetische Truppen in das Kaufhaus "Univermag" ein, in dessen Keller sich das deutsche Hauptquartier befand.

 Armeegliederung am 1. Februar 1943
 13., 37. und 39. Garde-Schützendivision
 45., 95., 138., 193., 284. Schützendivision
 92. Schützenbrigade
 156. Befestigtes Gebiet

Nach dem Ende der Schlacht von Stalingrad gehörte die 62. Armee ab dem 6. Februar 1943 zur Gruppe des Generalleutnants K. P. Trubnikow, die sich in der Reserve des Obersten Kommando befand. Von März bis April war die 62. Armee im Rahmen der Südwestfront eingesetzt und beteiligte sich am linken Ufer des Oskol am Ausbau der dortigen Stellungen. Auf Grund der bewiesenen Standhaftigkeit erhielt der Großverband den Gardetitel und ab 16. April 1943 wurde sie in 8. Gardearmee umbenannt.

Personal Update & Grant's Teeth
A Gaff Covid-19 Update!!
Maureen and I are fine. We have plenty to eat and drink, as well as dozens of jigsaw puzzles to keep us busy for hours at a time. We have subscribed to Britbox, so we are also watching episodes of Midsomer Murders interspersed with old episodes of CSI. Additionally, we generally stay up between 2 and 3 a.m. reading. After all, what's the use of getting up early? We hope everyone out there is safe and healthy (I avoid using the word "happy" intentionally). The crisis for Indiana is projected to come in 15-20 days, but we are ready for the long haul. There will be more posts about cheating in baseball, but I thought everyone could use a chuckle about one of our military heroes being brought to earth.
GENERAL GRANT'S TEETH
When news of the fighting at what is now referred to as the Battle of Shiloh reached Indianapolis on April 11, 1862, Governor Oliver P. Morton sprang into action. He immediately telegraphed the Indiana Sanitary Commission agent at Evansville to charter a steamer, load it with hospital supplies and food and employ as many doctors and nurses as could be found. A special train was loaded with supplies and medicine, along with as many medical professionals as could be spared from the state's capital city. Telegraph messages were sent to every city along the route advising citizens to have physicians and nurses, along with stores for the wounded and sick Union soldiers, ready at every station.
Governor Morton placed the Indiana relief effort in charge of William R. Holloway, his private secretary. When he reached Evansville, Holloway found the steamer Courier loaded and ready to go. After transferring the train's medical personnel and mass of donated goods to the steamer, Holloway set out on his mission of mercy. Upon approaching the battlefield, the Courier anchored in the Tennessee River a short distance from General Ulysses Grant's headquarters boat.
Learning of Holloway's arrival, Grant sent word for him to come to headquarters. Upon reaching Grant's boat, one of his staff officers advised that the Old Man (as they called him behind his back) was out of sorts because he had lost his false teeth. With only army rations of tough beef and hardtack on hand, there was nothing that Grant could eat.
Holloway met Grant in his cabin and mentioned that one of his staff had mentioned the lost teeth. The army commander then explained the situation: "I put the plates containing my teeth in a glass of water last night as I was retiring and put the glass on the bureau in my stateroom. When I dressed this morning, I forgot them and my boy, who went in to do up the room, emptied the water in the glass in the Tennessee River. The water in the glass was muddy, having come from the Tennessee River, and he did not see the plates."
Holloway offered Grant some of the delicacies that had brought for the Indiana soldiers, but he declined the offer, saying they were meant for the troops. Holloway explained that most of the goods had been purchased by the state for the use of soldiers, then tempted Grant by mentioning soft bread and no end of canned goods, along with other luxuries. Grant capitulated and within a matter of minutes his servant began toting aboard cans of chicken, vegetables and fruit, in addition to bags of bread. William Holloway's mission of mercy had possibly saved Grant from virtual starvation after he had whipped the rebels, but lost his teeth.

Child development refers to the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy. Although it is a continuous process with a predictable sequence it follows a unique course for every child. As all parents know, this brings both rewards challenges along the way. And it doesn't help that babies arrive into the world without an instruction booklet!
Using NLP Child Development to apply strategies and techniques is both powerful and empowering. In the following article, Kate Benson, gives you support, focused on 5 common challenges faced by parents, based upon NLP Child Development.

Medical care in Japan has countless features not found in other countries. As exemplified by the words "Made in Japan", we offer a high-level medical environment backed by advanced, cutting-edge technologies. But more than anything else, we're proud that much of our medical care emphasizes a low level of invasiveness, minimizing the effects on the patient's body.
Japan's medical care is aimed at providing patients with high-level quality of life following treatment.
For instance, surgery to treat digestive diseases, using endoscopy, involves an extremely small incision, so patients have less pain afterwards and can recover quickly. Vascular treatment using a catheter, brain and heart surgery, and radiation therapies using the Cyber Knife and ion beam radiation, are all minimally invasive and are performed on a daily basis.
The features of Japan's medical care go beyond its cutting-edge medical equipment and outstanding technology. An important factor is our commitment to comprehensive care, encompassing all aspects from preventive care to rehabilitation. Under Japan's national health insurance program, patients have access to regular health checkups, allowing early detection of disease. Medical care extends from prevention through recovery of function after surgery as a single, continuous flow. Physicians, nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists and nutritionists work together as a multi-disciplinary team, supporting this concept of comprehensive care.
Japan's comprehensive medical care is supported by high-quality treatment technology and by the hospitality of Japan's medical personnel, who work together to reach their objectives.

The History of Zinnia Flowers
By Gwen Bruno ; Updated September 21, 2017
In their native habitat, stretching from the southern U.S. to Chile, plants of the Zinnia genus are perennials. They are particularly abundant in Mexico. Gardeners in colder areas commonly plant the zinnia as an annual. It has long been a favorite garden plant, desired for its bright flowers colors, which come in every shade except blue. Both single- and double-flowered forms exist, the latter including beehive, dahlia and cactus shapes.
In its native Mexico, the Spanish referred to the zinnia as "mal de ojos" (which literally translates as sickness of the eyes), thinking it a small and unattractive flower. The seeds were sent to Europe in the 18th century. It received its name from a German medical professor named Johann Gottfried Zinn, who provided the first written description of the flower. (It is an interesting bit of trivia to know that his name is not only attached to a flower, but because of his work on the study of the eye, a part of the eye is called the zonule of Zinn, or Zinn's membrane.)
European Breeding
It was not until the late-19th century that the zinnia became more widely used as breeders in Germany, Holland and Italy began selecting zinnias for their desirable characteristics. Types called Pumila Mixed, Mammoth and Striata made their way to the United States, where they were widely planted.
American Varieties
Around 1920, a variety called Giant Dahlia was named by John Bodger of California's Bodger Seeds Ltd., who discovered it as a natural mutation. Within the next few years he selected from this strain a large flat-flowered type called California Giant. Available in separate colors and considered an innovation in plant type and form, it was awarded a gold medal from the Royal Horticultural Society of England.
Tetraploids Introduced
The 1950s brought more new zinnias, including the tetraploid State Fair (a tetraploid is specially bred with extra chromosomes for larger flowers and greater vigor), and a dwarf selections called Persian Carpet and Old Mexico. More new strains came from breeder John Mondry, whose discoveries led to the dwarf hybrid Peter Pan series.
Zinnia breeders continue to engineer new flowers for today's gardens. Recently Zinnia angustifolia and Zinnia elegans were crossed to create the Profusion series, which combines the best of both types for a compact, colorful zinnia that is resistant to heat, humidity and disease and requires no dead-heading. There seems to be no end to gardeners' love affair with this charming flower, and it was named the Plant of the Year 2000 by the National Garden Bureau.

Last week, several events took place that were important to their respective regions and potentially to the world. Russian government officials suggested turning Ukraine into a federation, following weeks of renewed demonstrations in Kiev. The Venezuelan government was confronted with violent and deadly protests. Kazakhstan experienced a financial crisis that could have destabilized the economies of Central Asia. Russia and Egypt inked a significant arms deal. Right-wing groups in Europe continued their political gains.
Americans might not be interested in the world, but the world is interested in Americans. Until this luxury comes to an end, the United States has ample assistant secretaries to give the impression that it cares. The United States will adjust to this period more easily than other governments, which expect the United States to be committed to undertaking any burden. That may come in the future. It won't come now. But history and the world go on, even overseas.

Often described as "a musician's musician", Murray Perahia "has a magic touch and his electric spontaneity is naturally caught in the studio," wrote the Penguin Guide. "In the works of Schumann … this quality of concentration is enormously valuable, and the results could hardly be more powerfully convincing." This new 6-CD reissue collects all of Perahia's solo Schumann along with his 1997 recording of the works for piano and orchestra – with Claudio Abbado conducting the Berlin Philharmonic – performed with "refreshing eagerness … unflagging strength of direction … inexhaustible rhythmic buoyancy" (Gramophone). There is also a very special bonus: the first CD release of a recital of Schumann lieder – including the op. 39 Liederkreis – in which Murray Perahia accompanies Sir Peter Pears. It proved to be the great English tenor's last recording, yet, observed The New York Times, "his technical flexibility, warmth of spirit, superb diction and impeccable phrasing continue to excite admiration, even at age 70".

Smartphone companies cheat benchmarks? Test of 22 devices (using Dontkillmyapp)
One of the features on which smartphone manufacturers battle hard is undoubtedly in the camera sector. But there is another area that sometimes goes a little muted, which is that of the benchmark. Many companies are committed to providing more extensive batteries and, at the same time, offering faster and faster-charging systems.
Image credit: pocket-lint.com
Yet there is another way to improve the benchmark of smartphones, and companies know it well: act on the software. Google in Android 6.0 Marshmallow introduced a system called Doze to manage the behavior of apps in the background. But not all apps make good use of this feature, and a poorly designed app could still consume too much energy for no reason, even when not in use.
This is why smartphone manufacturers have often made more aggressive software than Google, with ad hoc solutions that close applications and processes faster and more aggressively than you'd expect. This allows you to save battery and to safeguard yourself from badly coded apps. Still, it also makes life more complicated for the more capable developers. They are faced with software that prevents their apps from working well.
The developers of Urbandroid and other teams decided to report it to Google after having many problems and working on various solutions to get around them. And then creating a tool that would numerically evaluate the behavior of the different Android-based operating systems. Thus Dontkillmyapp was born, an app that allows you to find out how aggressive your smartphone's software is.
Once Dontkillmyapp started, the software remains in the background for a period of time (from 1 hour to 8 hours). It assesses how the software manages the presence of the app itself in memory and its running process. Then it gives reports of these data called Work and Main, indicating a percentage value (100% means that it has always worked for the duration of the test). In addition, it makes an additional test on alarms. The data that interests us, however, are the first two.
Dontkillmyapp on the below section shows a list of companies that behave "better" or "worse." Check out the smartphones tested by version 1.5 on 22 different devices from 22 different companies. The tests conducted below were for both 1 hour and 8 hours. The results are very interesting, thanks to Emanuele Cisotti for conducting the experiment.

14 Conclusions
As for ASUS, testing is done on the ROG Phone II, between the two top-of-the-range smartphones of the company. It has the most personalized software and a battery that has always guaranteed us excellent results in terms of the benchmark. We see that the Work / Main test reports 100%, which means the smartphone perfectly manages the apps in the background.
The test on the Google Pixel 4 XL is not surprising: 100% for Work and Main. Not giving much importance to the voice Alarm, which, however, signaled in the test (and reported it for completeness) to be 100% on the Android 11 beta.
As for Honor, the test was conducted for Honor 9X Pro (without Google services). The result is not at all exciting. In the one hour test Work / Main is 3% / 1%, which (unique case) increases in the 8 hour test to 3% / 2%. The process and the app got closed soon after a few minutes once the phone has gone to standby.

Results similar to Honor (obviously) also for Huawei. We tried Huawei P40 Lite 5G, Huawei P30 Pro (with Google services), and Huawei P40 Pro +. The results show how the process and the app are closed quickly after the screen has been locked.
For LG, the test conducted for the LG Velvet device. The smartphone showed a value of 100% in all tests, both from one hour and from 8 hours. Therefore, the implementation of the LG UI did not make any changes to the energy-saving on this smartphone.
Dontkillmyapp has been tested on Motorola Edge and Motorola Edge +. Excellent results in both cases where Work / Main have always reported a value of 100%. No wonder, given that Motorola has always worked for software very close to Google. However, Congratulations to Motorola for these two Edge / Edge+, which achieve truly out-of-range benchmark values without using any "tricks."
OnePlus is the only company that has behaved differently from those who have achieved stable values at 100%. And even for those who didn't reach 10%. The 1-hour test, on both OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 8 Pro, showed a 100% full result. However, if the phone remains on standby for many hours, the software becomes more rigid, closing some processes and allowing it to be run again later, probably by "freezing" them. OnePlus 7 has a result of 37%, OnePlus 8 Pro of 71%. We tend to believe that the results do not depend on the phone but on the apps that run and create notifications or activities during the duration of the test.
For Oppo, the test conducted for OPPO A72 and OPPO Find X2 Pro. In both cases, the system was very aggressive on the app and its process. The first in the 1h and 8h tests reported as Work / Main results only 11% / 6% and 4% / 1% (obviously the longer the time, the less proportionally it will remain active). For the top of the range the results are even lower: 4% / 4% and 1% / 1%.
The OPPO subsidiary reports practically identical results. Realme 6, Realme X3 Superzoom and Realme X50 Pro 5G are the tested smartphones. In order the results were, 4% / 4% – 1% / 1% for Realme 6, 9% / 7% – 3% / 1% for Realme X3 Superzoom and 4% / 4% – 1% / 1% for Realme X5 Pro 5G.
The Samsung smartphones we tested are Samsung Galaxy M31 and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. The results were more than heartening with a nice 100% on the Work and Main for both tests. Dontkillmyapp points out, however, that some Samsung software releases still have a system of "freezing" the apps if they are not used for more than three days.
The Sony smartphone they tested is the brand new Sony Xperia 1 II. The results were 100% & 100%. There is no surprise, considering that the Japanese company implements software-based largely on stock Android.
Surprisingly, Xiaomi manages to achieve a 100/100% score on the Work / Main test for all the devices tested: Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite and POCO F2 Pro. They had carried out the same test (always 100%) for Mi 10 Pro, but they didn't include it since it was tested with version 1.4. Despite the MIUI interface very different from Android stock, Xiaomi smartphones, at least those officially sold in Europe, seem to have shaken off the obnoxious reputation for too aggressive software with apps.
Let's get close with Wiko, and it's View 4 Lite. The almost totally stock implementation pays, and the "vote" is 100% / 100% on both tests and for both durations taken into consideration. Not bad considering the benchmark of these smartphones.
With the data in our possession, we can say that the Huawei / Honor and the OPPO / Realme are the most aggressive in closing the apps in the background. The only company to pose with an intermediate solution is OnePlus, which behaves normally when the smartphone is on standby.
However, when this state lasts for several hours, it still deals with blocking these processes. All the other companies (ASUS, Google, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sony, Xiaomi, and Wiko) have instead obtained results in line with what should be.
However, this does not mean that OPPO and Huawei smartphones do not work well or should be avoided. In all our tests, we report problems with the apps in the background, and now we hardly ever encounter these problems with these manufacturers. Even those who own smartphones from these companies will be able to confirm what we say. This is because OPPO and Huawei still work well with their software to allow the most common apps to work without problems. Instead, they are behaving more aggressively with those that would consume too much energy.
However, this approach is not without risk. It may, in fact, happen that well-developed apps still suffer from operational problems due to early closure by the system.
Therefore, this test does not overturn any opinion on the various devices and manufacturers, but still highlights the behavior of their software, which is still correct for users to know before their purchase.

Steering Asia to stability
My review of Dr Monika Chansoria's book, Steering Asia to stability, China, Japan, and Senkaku Islands appeared in The Sunday Pioneer.
China, Japan, and Senkaku Islands:
Conflict in the East China Sea Amid and American Shadow
by Dr Monika Chansoria
KW Publishers Pvt Ltd., New Delhi
ISB 978-93-83649-99-0
Price RS.980
This book is detailed, precise, legally well-researched. The author's general principles can apply to any of China's territorial claims. It's perhaps high time for India to prepare such studies for its border with China from Ladakh to Arunachal, writes CLAUDE ARPI
This book, written by Dr Monika Chansoria, a Senior Fellow at the prestigious Centre for Land Warfare Studies, is timely for several reasons, but first and foremost because it describes the way Beijing conducts 'diplomacy' in its extended neighbourhood.
Chansoria writes: "Changing the territorial status quo has been the unfinished business of the People's Republic of China since its founding in 1949, when it set out to forcibly absorb the sprawling Xinjiang and Tibetan plateau - actions that increased the landmass of China by 44 per cent."
The scholarly author continues: "Underlining the fact that China does not apply the rule of law at home, its ingenious principle to covet neighbours' territories is: 'what IS ours is ours and what is yours is negotiable'."
India has been at the receiving end of China's irredentism since Independence.
Chansoria quotes Maj Gen Zhang Zhaozhong of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), who mentions the 'cabbabe' strategy; it involves "asserting a claim, launching furtive incursions into the coveted territory, and erecting - one at a time - cabbage-style multiple layers of security around a contested area so as deny access to a rival."
In other words, you grab what you want or what you need for your security, cover it with a few 'security layers' and then offer 'friendly' discussions to the opposite party.
The Chinese-speaking scholar continues: "The strategy bears all the hallmarks of modern Chinese brinkmanship, including reliance on stealth, surprise and a disregard for the risks of military escalation and seeks to ensure that the initiative remains with China."
Similar tactics were used during the negotiations with India for the Panchsheel agreement in 1954; at that time China had just started building a road in the Aksai Chin.
This book is relevant because it is crucial for Indian strategists to understand the pattern used by Beijing, one could call it 'grabbing with Chinese characteristics': "construct a dispute, initiate a jurisdictional claim through periodic incursions, and then increase the frequency and duration of such intrusions, thereby establishing a military presence or pressuring a rival to cut a deal on China's terms."
China is always one stage in advance on its opponent, which is often kept off balance. This is not only the story of the Senkaku Islands, but also the 'rocks' in the South China Sea, the Aksai Chin region of Ladakh or the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh or Uttarakhand (incursions are mildly called 'transgressions' by the shy Indian politicians). Beijing invariably follows the same pattern, if there is no resistance, no opposition, it continues to advance, till it is stopped by force at the risk of a conflict.
One could also cite the example of Tawang and other areas Arunachal Pradesh where historically the Tibetan 'influence' has never been more than ten percent of the landmass of the State, but which is today claimed by China as South Tibet in his entirity.
Unfortunately for Beijing, in the present case, the Japanese are not ready to be bullied.
Chansoria starts her study by the 'Genesis of dispute in the East China Sea". The fact that the author calls the Island in dispute as 'Senkaku', the Japanese name, shows which side of the dispute she stands.
China calls the Islands, Diaoyu ('fishing platform'").
Chansoria however highlights the complexity of the issue: "The dispute over sovereignty of the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands is structured around economic interests, domestic political compulsions, issues surrounding national identity and allegiance, requirements of international law and the long-standing baggage of historical grievances."
The eight uninhabited islands, located in the East China Sea, northeast of Taiwan, east of the Chinese mainland and southwest of Japan's southernmost Okinawa prefecture, might be small, but are the object of a bitter quarrel which could explode anytime. The five volcanic islands and three rocky outcroppings have a total land area of only 6.32 sq km.
On January 14, 1895, the Japanese Cabinet had passed a formal Resolution incorporating the Senkaku Islands into its territory. Japan argued that before 1895, the islands were terra nullius (i.e. territory claimed by no nation). The Islands were placed under the jurisdiction of Okinawa Prefecture. This is the foundation of Japan's legal basis for asserting its claim over the islands.
In May 1895, Japan and the Manchu (Qing) Dynasty signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki ending the Sino-Japanese war. Under the agreement, (considered today by China an 'unequal treaty'), China ceded Taiwan/Formosa to Japan "together with all the islets appertaining or belonging to the said island of Formosa." The Treaty did not specifically mention the Senkakus.
Today Beijing and Taipei argue that after World War II, the Allied declarations at Cairo and Potsdam restored to China territories taken through military aggression by the Japanese, and thus the islets should have been returned to China.
In October 1945, Japan relinquished authority over all territories seized or occupied (such as Manchuria, Formosa and the Pescadores), but in no agreement were the Islands of Senkakus mentioned; by default it remained part of Okinawa prefecture. Of course, China does not agree to this reading.
Chansoria goes into depth into the International Law, Legal Provisions and Conventions; the Resurgence of National in China and Japan (an important factor of the dispute), but also the Oil, Gas and Economics of the Conflict, (which understandably exacerbate the lust of the opponent and harden the respective positions) and finally the China-Japan-America Triangle (which makes any peacemakers lose faith in any possible negotiated solution).
Her last Chapter is on 'Reigniting a Quiescent Volcano'.
Her conclusion points to the need "to steer Asia towards a regional order that maintains stability in the power equilibrium, thereby challenging a visibly coercive Sino-centric vision of the future Asia, especially within the Indo-Pacific."
It is easier said than done, but the Modi government has taken many steps in this direction by establishing closer links with Japan, Vietnam or Australia.
The work of Chansoria is detailed, precise, legally well-researched.
The general principles described by the author can apply to any of China's territorial claims.
It is perhaps high time for India to prepare such studies for its border with China from Ladakh to Arunachal. It may one day be usueful.

R. H. Naylor
British astrologer
R.H. Naylor's horoscope for Princess Margaret
Richard Harold Naylor (2 August 1889[1] – 1952[2]), better known as R. H. Naylor, was a British astrologer, and the first sun sign astrologer. His horoscope of the newly-born Princess Margaret for the Sunday Express, led to a regular column that was soon copied by other British newspapers.[3]
1 Horoscope for Princess Margaret
2 R101 crash
3 Sun signs
4 Failure to predict the Second World War
5 Later career
Horoscope for Princess Margaret[edit]
The then editor of the Sunday Express, John Gordon, first asked Cheiro, the leading British astrologer of his time to write a horoscope for the newly-born Princess Margaret, predicting what might happen in her future. As Cheiro was not available, Naylor, who was working as an assistant to Cheiro, undertook the task. This led to a Sunday Express article, "What The Stars Foretell For The New Princess".[3] The article appeared on 24 August 1930, three days after her birth.[4]
An introduction to the article had to explain what a horoscope was for Express readers:
Everybody is interested in the future. Can it be told by the stars? Readers of the Sunday Express will be able to judge for themselves after reading the following article, which tells you just what is expected to happen during the remainder of the month ... Mr Naylor has included in the article an extremely interesting horoscope – an observation of the heavens at the hour of a person's birth...[5]
Naylor himself explained, "Here is the 'horoscope' of the baby princess" and predicted over three columns of text that she would lead an "eventful life". The rest of the article gave general forecasts by birth date.[5] The article was very popular and Naylor was asked to produce more.[6]
R101 crash[edit]
The wreckage of R101
In September 1930, Naylor forecast that "A British aircraft will be in danger" in October. On 5 October 1930 the R101 airship crashed and burned in Beauvais, France. Naylor was credited with a successful prediction and as a result was offered a weekly column in the Sunday Express by Gordon.[3] His column became Britain's first regular astrology column, and such was its success that other British newspapers were soon hosting their own regular columns.[3]
Sun signs[edit]
By 1937, Naylor had developed a system using the 12 sun signs (star signs) which he called "Your Stars".[3] This simplified system of astrology allowed twelve forecasts to be made based purely on reader's birth dates. The forecasts could be changed endlessly, thus making an ideal regular newspaper feature. Naylor's columns, however, continued to combine Star Sign forecasts by birth month with forecasts for the week ahead by day headed "Tendencies for everybody".
Failure to predict the Second World War[edit]
Immediately before the Second World War, Naylor saw lack of irrigation as the principal threat to mankind.
Naylor's forecasts combined personal recommendations such as the best days to buy or sell and the best colour to wear for luck, with bold forecasts of world events. For instance on 28 May 1939, on the brink of the Second World War, he forecast that people should not "look to Europe as the seat of conflagration. Actually the danger lies in the Mediterranean, the Near East and Ireland – on the sea and sea coast rather than inland".[7] Naylor continued "The real danger that threatens civilisation is two-fold:– (1) The childless marriage; (2) The failure of agriculturalists (who are, after all, the key men of any civilisation) to understand the ways of nature and conserve the fertility of the soil."[7] The column was accompanied by a map depicting the area of risk according to Naylor.
Later career[edit]
A shortage of paper during and after the Second World War led to many Sunday Express features being cut, including the horoscopes. Naylor's column continued until around May 1942, though by then it was truncated and written in a condensed style. The column returned in 1952, and although he died later that year, Naylor's work was continued by his son, John Naylor.[3]

With the nation's "quit rate" recently reaching a 20-year high and a post-pandemic future in our midst, organizations hoping to retain their top talent would be mistaken to ignore the numerous benefits of cultivating psychological safety at work.
In psychologically safe teams, employees feel accepted and respected. Psychological safety also helps foster a more inclusive work environment, which opens the door to greater creativity, innovation, and increased employee retention.
Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson spent years studying teaming and organizational learning before coining the phrase "psychological safety" in 1999. She defined it as: "a team climate characterized by interpersonal trust and mutual respect in which people are comfortable being themselves." Essentially, it's a team where members can bring their whole selves to work and speak up without fear of reprimand.
In the early 2010s, Google conducted extensive research by studying 180 teams and analyzing over 250 team attributes. The goal was to better understand why some teams are more successful than others and their efforts came to be known as Project Aristotle.
While Google's research was unable to decipher an algorithm for perfectly assembling teams, they did uncover five dynamics that seemed to set high-functioning teams apart from the rest:
Dependability: Workers count on one another to do high-quality work.
Structure & clarity: Roles, goals, and execution plans for the team are clear.
Meaning of work: Workers are doing something that is personally important to each of them.
Impact of work: Workers believe the work they're doing matters.
Psychological safety: Workers can take risks on the team without feeling insecure or embarrassed.
The results show that learning and development leaders can't stop at influencing individual productivity. Effective team collaboration is vital for any organization to reach its potential, and psychological safety plays a key role in promoting collaborative group dynamics.
The four stages of psychological safety
So, how can L&D teams help create psychological safety at work? It starts with breaking psychological safety down into its key components.
Timothy R. Clark, executive leadership consultant and Oxford-trained social scientist, described four stages of psychological safety that teams progress through, which are centered on two dimensions – permission and respect.
As teams grow in respect and permission, they advance deeper into the four levels of psychological safety.
Clark's model suggests that as teams grow in respect and permission (how much individuals are allowed to participate in and influence the group), they advance deeper into the four levels of psychological safety.
The four stages, outlined below in order of simplest to most complex, all build upon basic psychological needs.
1. Inclusion safety: Members feel accepted as a part of the team – they're wanted, appreciated, and don't feel excluded from the rest of the group.
2. Learner safety: Team members are able to ask questions, experiment, make mistakes, admit when they make mistakes, and even ask for help.
3. Contributor safety: Members feel safe to offer their own ideas without fear of embarrassment or ridicule. They're adding value to the team and making a difference.
4. Challenger safety: Group members can question others (including those in authority) and suggest significant changes to ideas, plans, or processes. This stage incurs the highest personal risk because members are challenging the way things are.
Clark says people thrive in environments that facilitate these four stages – "there's an explosion of confidence, engagement, and performance." But if individuals don't feel safe in these four areas, they can shut down and become inhibited from reaching their full potential.
It's also important to understand that psychological safety isn't static, but it evolves over time. There's no simple on/off switch, and it's not a trait that you either have or don't. Teams might move forward on the scale at times and backwards at others. Additionally, if someone on a team is at a different stage than the rest of the team, it can cause the entire team to feel incongruous.
Keys to cultivating psychological safety at work
It's clear that organizations seeking to empower their people and improve performance should be focusing on psychological safety, but what does that look like in action? Learning and development teams can help cultivate psychological safety at work by taking the following steps.
Foster inclusivity
NYU School of Law professor Kenji Yoshino partnered with Deloitte to study "covering" – when a person modulates their identity to be accepted by the mainstream. Their study found that out of 3,120 individuals surveyed (including a mix of ages, genders, ethnicities, and orientations) across 10 different industries, 61% reported covering at work. Additionally, more than half of those individuals said that covering is "somewhat to extremely" detrimental to their sense of self.
Yoshino says organizations should respond by "thinking about the entire human being, their human flourishing, and their happiness." Allowing employees to be their authentic selves at work helps break down barriers toward the first stage of psychological safety – inclusion safety.
To ensure that all members of a team feel like they belong, L&D can:
Equip leaders to promote inclusive workplace practices and learn the six Cs of inclusive leadership.
Facilitate open conversations during learning programs where employees can share their authentic perspectives.
Train recruiters and hiring managers to identify and manage their own implicit biases.
Monitor inclusion within their organizations using Gartner's seven key dimensions.
Create a feedback-driven culture
Honest, fair feedback is a core tenet of a psychologically safe workplace. As workers progress through the learner safety stage of psychological safety, they need to be able to learn from their peers and admit mistakes, all in the spirit of learning and growth – without the threat of demerits or performance documentation.
Honest, fair feedback is a core tenet of a psychologically safe workplace.
To help create a culture in which this is encouraged, L&D teams can offer training programs that teach employees how to give feedback appropriately and why it's important to do so. Since effectively giving feedback is a skill, training should build in chances for learners to practice in a safe environment, such as through role play exercises.
Team leaders can also serve as an example in how they give and accept feedback. When leaders proactively ask others for feedback, it signals to the entire team that feedback is encouraged and expected.
Leverage leadership
Research from management consulting firm McKinsey & Company demonstrated that a positive team climate is "the most important driver of a team's psychological safety." A positive team climate is defined as an environment where team members value one another's contributions, care about one another's well-being, and have input on how the team carries out its work.
Leaders are responsible for setting the tone for this type of climate through their actions and more specifically, their leadership techniques. The research showed that consultative leadership and supportive leadership behaviors have the biggest impact on a positive team climate and thus, psychological safety.
A positive team climate is an environment where team members value one another's contributions, care about one another's well-being, and have input on how the team carries out its work.
Consultative leadership is when leaders welcome input from their teams and consider that input when making decisions. Supportive leadership involves caring for team members as people – not just employees of the company.
Management training programs should offer lessons on how to develop skills such as supportive and consultative leadership. Emotional intelligence competencies are also key for leaders to develop if they are to foster psychological safety in the workplace.

Build emotional intelligence
Offering employees lessons on emotional intelligence can directly impact levels of psychological safety at work. Emotional intelligence training includes topics such as how to sense the emotional states of team members and build positive working relationships.
How training is delivered also matters. Research has shown that video learning can be more effective than in-person lectures. And when offered in an on-demand format, pre-recorded videos can remove even more barriers to learning – in a typical work week, most employees only have about 20 spare minutes to dedicate to development.
A well-designed, easily accessible lesson, such as the one below from executive coach and leadership expert Alisa Cohn, can be used to instill the best practices of creating a psychologically safe environment.
Getting into the habit of praising team members for their achievements is a win-win scenario – it helps employees develop positive relationships with others, while the person on the receiving end of the praise understands the value of their work as they progress through Clark's contributor safety stage.
Increase trust
In a Harvard Business Review article, executive coach Laura Delizonna points out that human beings have been hardwired to process challenges by a boss, co-worker, or subordinate as a life-or-death threat.
"The amygdala, the alarm bell in the brain, ignites the fight-or-flight response, hijacking higher brain centers… Quite literally, just when we need it most, we lose our minds. While that fight-or-flight reaction may save us in life-or-death situations, it handicaps the strategic thinking needed in today's workplace," Delizonna states.
Humans have been hardwired to process challenges by a boss, co-worker, or subordinate as a life-or-death threat.
Because of these evolutionary responses, challenger safety is perhaps the most difficult stage to reach on the path to psychological safety. But building trust can counteract this challenge.
"When you trust someone, it's like the impossible becomes possible," Angie McArthur, founder of a global consulting firm, says. According to McArthur, trust can either be a roadblock or a highway, but demystifying trust is a key step in building it. Teams should talk openly about specific actions that can help members trust one another more – such as transparency around daily tasks or timeliness when turning projects in.
Measure psychological safety
It's important to continue monitoring psychological safety at work as it does evolve over time. In her original study, Harvard researcher Amy Edmondson used the following set of questions to measure psychological safety among 51 work teams.
If you make a mistake on your team, is it held against you?
Are you able to bring up problems and tough issues?
Do people on the team sometimes reject others for being different?
Is it safe to take a risk?
Is it difficult to ask other team members for help?
Do people on the team deliberately act to undermine your efforts?
Are your unique skills and talents valued and utilized?
Leaders within organizations can use these same questions to get a pulse on psychological safety levels throughout their teams and departments. Once a baseline is established, L&D can offer support and deeper training around any areas that might be lacking.
Be intentional when remote
COVID-19 forever changed the way teams work and many organizations plan to retain a remote work policy in the future. But just because most of our interactions are now done through screens doesn't make creating psychological safety any less important.
In remote and hybrid environments, leaders must be even more intentional about checking in on their teams with regular one-on-one video calls. To make sure inclusivity continues to grow, managers can consider pairing people together on projects who don't typically work together. Team members can also be encouraged to host virtual, cross-functional brainstorming sessions when kicking off new projects.
Virtual interactions can be more beneficial than we realize for creating psychological safety.
Virtual interactions can be more beneficial than we realize for creating psychological safety. For instance, since calls must be scheduled in advance and chat messages can be rewritten prior to sending, more preparation time can go into thoughtful, respectful communication.
Although screens can make it harder to read body language, they can also help employees practice active listening during calls. In person, it can be socially awkward to make eye contact for long periods of time. Video calls remove this barrier, so team members might be able to pick up on social and emotional cues more, and better understand what the speaker is saying as a result.
Studies have shown that organizations which cultivate a growth mindset – one where it's okay to fail – have happier employees and more innovative cultures. Supervisors in such organizations rate their teams as more collaborative as well.
Building psychological safety at work comes naturally in this sort of culture. L&D teams can work with leaders to establish these norms, helping all employees progress through Clarks' four stages in the process. Organizations that put psychological safety first in these ways will be the ones that thrive.

Why does the City want to close Columbia Pool? Portland Parks said last spring that they have a budget crisis and it doesn't make sense for them to invest in repairing deferred maintenance at Columbia Pool.
What kind of deferred maintenance? We've asked repeatedly for more details on the condition of the pool facility and this is what they've given us.
Are they going to put a new aquatics center at the Charles Jordan Community Center? Commissioner Nick Fish has said he would like to use a different funding stream to put a new aquatics center at Charles Jordan. However, the City has shared no specific plans or designs. The City's Budget Office estimated it would take a minimum of five years to build a new facility. That's why we're advocating for uninterrupted access to year-round swimming on the North Portland peninsula. For now, that means saving Columbia Pool.
I thought the City of Portland was using something called the "equity lens" in their decision making so that communities that have been historically under-served don't keep getting the short end of the stick? Doesn't Columbia Pool serve a lot of those communities? Yes! That's one reason why we're working so hard to keep this resource. It's also why it's important that our advocacy be broad based, equitable, and doesn't reproduce the apparent hypocrisy we see in the City's proposal to close Columbia Pool. We also think it's important to remember that there is a long and ugly history of anti-Black racism in American pools.
What's next? The decision of whether or not to close the pool will be the result of the City's Budget process, which takes place over multiple months, concluding with City Council's adoption in May / June 2020. We about 8 months to change the outcome. Right now we're focused on getting the word out and connecting to as many people as possible so that when we have specific actions, we can galvanize our numbers.
What can I do today? Share this email with a friend and encourage them to sign up on the Pool Action List online, or you can gather contacts using this sheet.
I have skills and passion and want to work on this – how can I contribute and connect? There are groups of people working on communications, research, development / fundraising, and outreach. There's a need for everyone's skills and talents! There are regular community work meetings. Dates and times are posted on the website. If you can attend, those are great times to connect and help move the work forward. You can also email savecolumbiapool@gmail.com and we'll point you in the right direction. We just ask that you keep in mind this is an all-volunteer effort. We're glad you're a part of it!
What decides if the pool stays open? The reasons given for closing the pool have been fiscal and thus the decision will largely be the outcome of the budget process, which has political as well as practical elements. The City's budget process is complex and that's one reason why we've asked the Budget Office to hold a training session in our community so we can be more powerful advocates. The budget process includes opportunities for public input, and that's what we're gearing up for by building a community of support. The budget process ends in May.
Is it cost effective to build a new pool instead of fixing the old one? One answer we've heard is that the City would be able to use a different type of funding, System Development Charges (SDC) to build a new pool, so a comparison between the two costs is irrelevant. SDC's are funds that developers pay into to create community services (and we're just learning about them). Another answer we've heard is that the decision isn't being made by doing a cost / benefit analysis between the two scenarios in part because SDCs can't be used to replace services, they have to be increasing them.
Can we do fundraising to save the pool? Will [insert name of big company with local presence] help pay to keep it open? It's possible that private fundraising may be one of the strategies used in the future. But at this point, the work and funds needed are not entirely known: Would it be to repair the roof, or operation cots, or what? What will the City pay for? Most funders wouldn't give large amounts of money when so much is unknown, it's not strategic to ask when we'd be likely to get turned down, and asking for smaller amounts now might undercut bigger asks later. However, Coalition members are building relationships now that may support fundraising in the future.
What's the timeline? The budget process ends in late May / early June. A lot of things we don't know the specific dates for yet but this timeline attempts to give a high level view of what we expect.


A Girlfriend's Experience with NS and Reservist | Oh Look, Krill!
National Service (NS) is something that most able-bodied Singaporean male has to go through. It's a time when boys are challenged and molded into men. It's also a time when relationships are tested. I've heard of girls leaving their boyfriends because the poor boy doesn't have enough time for dates or that they don't have enough money to spend on their girlfriends. I don't understand that but then, my experiences with having a relationship while the boy is in NS, is slightly different.
During the first year of my then-boyfriend's NS stint, I was doing my degree in Australia. We had weekly phone calls and text messages. Since he was an army clerk, he got to go home everyday, so we had a few IM chats as well.
The second year of his NS stint, I was back and I'd started working. We had dates on the weekend and some times on the week days. It was nice, except for the part where he complains about the NS stuff. I didn't understand why he was so pissed off at doing NS but since I wasn't the one in his shoes, I just kept my mouth shut.
Because the then-boyfriend hate NS, I thought that all men had the same thought. Until I met Dude. Dude enjoyed his NS. He had fun and didn't regret any part of it. It was refreshing to hear someone who said that it was his duty to serve the country, instead of how much he hated NS and wished that the government would abolish it.
Dude also introduced to me the 'reservist widow' experience. I've never had to go through that before as the then-boyfriend's Pass E ensured that he didn't have to do reservist at all. The two weeks that Dude was away for reservist felt like the longest 2 weeks in my life. I can understand why some of the ladies lament their men's absence during their reservist. As much as I hate it that he's away for reservist, it's only for a week or two. Besides, it's his duty. I'm just glad that it's once a year.
That's just my experiences with NS and reservist. What are yours?

Ryan Gosling Is Completely Endearing in Latest Showbiz Anecdote
Doug Barry
Ryan Gosling's smirking, sun-dappled face will appear twice over the course of the Cannes Film Festival: in the erotically violent Nicolas Winding Refn film Only God Forgives, and then briefly in a documentary about the ruthless business behind movie-making, Seduced & Abandoned, where he shares a few charming stories about his career, the absurdity of aspiring actors, and all those times as a young boy he rubbed his boner all over VHS tapes. Brace yourself.
Seduced & Abandoned was made by James Toback and Alec Baldwin, and it will air on HBO later this summer, just when you've most likely had your fill of cloying summer blockbusters. It chronicles the duo's attempt to make (or pretend to pitch) a remake of Last Tango in Paris called Last Tango in Tikrit starring Baldwin and (blast from the recent past) Neve Campbell. According to Vulture's Jada Yuan, it isn't really clear whether Toback and Baldwin really intend to make such a movie (I'm going to go with a big NO), but they probably had a lot of fun listening to potential financiers give them funding advice. To get the $15-20 million Toback and Baldwin are asking for, financiers offer them some words of wisdom: hire Ryan Gosling (or someone like Ryan Gosling).
Ryan Gosling in a Last Tango remake? Sure! Maybe it even becomes a mega blockbuster if you throw in a Marlon Brando hologram, which arm wrestles Gosling for some reason. The only hitch is that Gosling never signs up for the movie. He does, however, give Toback and Baldwin a hilarious string of anecdotes that go something like this:
He doesn't sign on to the hypothetical movie, but does give them a delightful interview about his Hollywood experience, revealing that his first onstage performance was with his Elvis impersonator uncle when he was three; describing in hilarious detail what it was like to go to auditions as a no-name actor when casting agents would take cell phone calls in the middle of his scenes; comparing L.A. to a land of Don Quixotes ("We've all had the same dream, but no one is sure if it's a premonition or an illusion"); and telling the story of how as a little kid, he was so movie-obsessed the only way his mother could punish him was by taking the[m] away from him. "I loved movies so much," he jokes (I think), "sometimes, I'd shove them down the front of my pants. I liked the way they feel." The best Gos moment, though, is his vivid tale of the time he thought he might die on a nose diving airplane. Everyone else was looking into the eyes of the person next to them, because this was the person they were going to die with, says Gosling, "and my first instinct is to finish my steak."
That's right, folks — Ryan Gosling loved movies so much he used to rub them all over his peeper. At least, that's what it sounds like.

NEW YORK, April 5 — Wall Street's main indexes rose today after data showed US employment in March accelerated from a 17-month low, easing concerns of a domestic slowdown, while hopes of a US-China trade deal added to the sentiment.
Average hourly earnings rose 0.1 per cent in March, after jumping 0.4 per cent per cent in the previous month, while the unemployment rate held steady at 3.8 per cent.
Bank stocks, which tend to benefit from a rising interest-rate environment, dipped 0.1 per cent.
The markets were also helped by President Donald Trump's comments that the US and China were close to a trade deal that could be announced within four weeks, potentially easing concerns about a months-long tariff war that has clouded global growth.
Trade hopes and a dovish Fed have helped push the S&P 500 to its highest since October 9, putting the index 1.8 per cent away from an all-time high of 2,940.91 points.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch said the index could scale new highs above 3,000 in the second quarter, fuelled by gains in bank and oil stocks, before peaking out.
At 9.49am ET the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 58.27 points, or 0.22 per cent, at 26,442.90, the S&P 500 was up 7.53 points, or 0.26 per cent, at 2,886.92 and the Nasdaq Composite was up 26.44 points, or 0.34 per cent, at 7,918.22.
Of the 11 major S&P sectors, nine were trading higher, with a 0.3 per cent rise in technology stocks leading gains.
Heavyweights Apple Inc and Microsoft Corp helped support the tech sector.
However, capping gains among Dow Industrials was Dow Inc , which dropped 2.5 per cent after J.P. Morgan started coverage on the company, which was spun-off from DowDuPont Inc, with an "underweight" rating.
Intel Corp slipped 1.6 per cent after Wells Fargo downgraded the chipmaker's stock to "market perform" from "outperform".
Viacom Inc rose 2.1 per cent after RBC Capital Markets upgraded the company to "outperform".
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners for a 2.21-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 2.10-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

Once More on Laissez-Faire and Adam Smith
Letter to The Scotsman (Edinburgh):
Ellis Thorpe (Scotsman, 4 January) "alludes" to "Adam Smith and laissez-faire" as if the two are synonymous. Smith never mentioned "laissez-faire" in anything he wrote; he was a Professor of Moral Philosophy and very precise in his language. Moreover, "laissez-faire" was about one-sided freedom sought by merchants for themselves.
When the French Minister for Finance, Colbert, (1680), asked M. le Gendre, a "plain spoken" merchant", what he could do for them, he replied "laissez nous faire" ('leave us alone"). Nothing was said about their customers, or their employees.
Similarly, the "laissez-faire" slogan was picked up by 19th century French, English economists and political agitators in such campaigns as the merchant-led, Anti-Corn Law League (1840s) that resulted in wage cuts to reflect the fall in corn prices, and by mine and mill owning industrialists campaigning against laws (1840s-1870s) reducing 12-14 hour working days and the employment of children.
"Laissez faire" was wrongly associated with Adam Smith in the 19th century and the invention stuck, particularly at Cambridge, where Marshall, Pigou and Keynes taught that association as if it were true.
Adam Smith argued philosophically for "natural liberty" – for everyone, not just for special interest groups. Moreover, Smith never argued "self-interest is always enlightened".
Far from it: In Wealth Of Nations (1776) he gave over 60 examples of where an individual's "self interested" actions had harmful affects on others. When this occurred, Smith supported legislation against bankers and those he called "projectors" – spend thrifts and "prodigals" - given to reckless, selfish actions, even where doing so breached their "natural liberties". Smith's abundant strictures against selfish, self-interested merchants and manufactures are evident to anybody who reads his Wealth Of Nations (1776) or his "Theory of Moral Sentiments" (1759).
Ellis Thorpe imputes his own anachronistic ideas to Adam Smith.

Prescription entry system reduces risk of medication error | Wood, Carlton & Hudson, P.C.
On behalf of Wood, Carlton & Hudson, P.C. posted in Medical Malpractice on Tuesday, September 3, 2013.
It has been estimated that about a million medication errors happen each year in the United States. Maybe not all of these errors have catastrophic effects, but many of them do. Medication errors annually contribute to about 7,000 deaths, yet hospitals are remarkably slow to adopt new methods to protect patient health.
Mississippi residents may be interested in a relatively new technology that some hospitals use to prevent medication errors. Computerized physician order entry, otherwise known as CPOE, is meant to catch mistakes such as misplaced decimal points and prescribing the wrong drug.
When a doctor enters a prescription into the system, the order is checked against patient information before the order is sent to the pharmacy. The computer then electronically sends the order to the pharmacist, who doesn't have to worry about interpreting a doctor's handwriting.
Research cited in a recent Forbes article points to as much as an 85-percent drop in medication errors when hospitals use CPOE. But despite the great improvement in patient safety, hospitals are still slow to implement the necessary changes.
Another problem is that even when hospitals use CPOE, the system isn't monitored and tested often enough, increasing the risk of a prescription error.
In any case, medication errors are a preventable reality. Patients who have been injured because of a doctor's mistake often don't know where to turn. Hospitals and insurance companies will do what is in their power to limit liability, and injured patients may need to speak with a medical malpractice attorney to decide on the best course of action.

Autoxidation in Feeds
Animal Nutrition, Mold inhibition, Feed hygiene, Oxidation prevention
The autoxidation processes are fairly complex but have been reasonably well established and can be described as a free radical chain reaction. There are three separate phases in the overall reaction of autoxidation.
In the first phase, fat oxidation is initiated by various free radicals which are very reactive molecules (Benzie, 1996). In general the oxidisable substrate (RH) is converted into an alkyl radical by proton orelectron abstraction. Metal catalysed production of radicals is by far the most important reaction in this phase. Cobalt, copper, iron and manganese are the most important metals for the initiation of autoxidation. Free radicals may also be generated under the influence of enzymes, light or heat.
The second phase, propagation, occurs when a critical level of free radicals react with oxygen to generate a chain reaction and produce alkyl peroxides. The peroxides react further with new substrate molecules to generate hydroperoxides and more free radicals. The propagation phase is characterised by rapid consumption of oxygen and the generation of heat which in extreme cases can destroy the feed materials and even ignite materials such as fish meal which has a significant oil content.
The third phase, termination, comprises the recombination of various species of free radicals to produce stable end products. These are a wide variety of hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and organic acids. This has the effect of slowing down oxidation and it also generates characteristic unpalatable or rancid flavours and odours, which makes feed unacceptable to the animal.

Q: Save the live video from the webcam on the server I want to upload to the server the video that recorded by the webcam. Now what I do is record the video and once the recording is finished upload the whole, I use to record RecordRTC. I use HTML5 and JavaScript. What I want is to upload while recording.
Does anyone know how I can upload the video and save it on the server while recording?
I do not want to use Flash.

A: you'd just send the data to the server in mediaRecorder.ondataavailable (assuming that recordrtc is compatible with the standard api as demoed here) event instead of buffering and concatenating it in the client at the end of the recording.

A: You can use WebRTC to stream the video/audio data to a media server like Kurento which can act as a WebRTC endpoint and save the video to a .webm file on the disk.
We use a similar setup at Pipe to power Flash free video recording in Chrome.

An extensive library for processing FoLiA documents. FoLiA stands for Format for Linguistic Annotation and is a very rich XML-based format used by various Natural Language Processing tools.
This library used to be part of PyNLPL (pynlpl.formats.folia), but is now in the process of migration to its own (i.e. this) project.
FoLiA development is funded in the scope of the larger CLARIN-NL project and its successor CLARIAH.
Download and install the latest stable version directly from the Python Package Index with pip install folia (or pip3 for Python 3 on most systems). For global installations prepend sudo.
The Python FoLiA library is also included in our LaMachine distribution.
