Situation at Uxolo High School has Stabilised
"I am pleased to announce that the situation at Uxolo High School in Khayelitsha has stabilised," said Minister Donald Grant on Monday.
"Both the principal and the learner concerned have returned to the school after an extensive consultation process with the School Governing Body, the Representative Council of Learners, teachers, learners and parents and officials from the Metro East Education District. "
Grant said that in terms of the allegations against the principal of sexual misconduct, no substantive evidence had been brought forward by any party and the accusation was formally denied by both the learner and principal.
"Should any such evidence be presented, the department will take firm action in terms of the appropriate legal provisions," he said.
"There will, however, be an internal disciplinary procedure against the principal for the irregular adjustment of marks."
Grant said that the marks found on the department's Central Education Management Information System (CEMIS) initially indicated that the learner had passed Grade 12.
"But, on further investigation, it was found that the learner had indeed failed, and that the marks had been adjusted by the principal, promoting her to Grade 12. This practice is allowed. However, in this instance it was done without following due process," said Grant.
"Therefore, we are taking the necessary disciplinary action to deal with this matter as advised by our legal department within the Western Cape Education Department (WCED). This procedure will be left to run its co
Grant said that after a final recommendation by the Metro East district, the decision was made to re-integrate the learner back into Grade 12.
"I sincerely hope that all the educators and learners at Uxolo welcome her back into the school so that she can continue with her studies. The Grade 12 examinations should be the only thing on both her and her classmates minds. There should be no other distractions."
Grant said that the main focus now was to make sure that the school functions as per normal.
"I appeal to all concerned to put the best interests of the learners first and to ensure that learning is able to take place in a peaceful and secure environment."

Red Velvet 'The ReVe Festival Day 1' Album Review
· R
Warning: this album is not for the fainthearted. But once you hear this, you won't ever be the same person again. Suddenly all other music will just seem repetitive in comparison! Red Velvet have been trendsetters from the start with their experimental tracks and unique concepts but with this album they said that they don't care if you don't like it: this is the start of the new age and before you know it, you'll be begging everyone else to join in.
Zimzalabim is based on awesome Hitchhiker-style percussive riffs that seem like they'll jar strongly with Red Velvet's distinctive singing and talk-rapping, but somehow fit perfectly. This almost jarring quality reminds you of f(x)'s 'Red Light" – maybe fans have been ready for this kind of music for years already. I'd almost got used to the craziness of the song by the prec-horus, but when the chorus came in, I was in complete shock from their deep voices and the complete change of key and bass! But at the same time, the chorus is the best part of the song, because its weirdness is unbelievably addictive. Zimzalabim is not just a random, crazy song. It features catchy and beautiful melodies and has a powerful bridge and a last chorus that brings back 'Happiness' vibes. With this song, Red Velvet are saying "Easy listening is a thing of the past, so get ready for the rollercoaster ride of your life."
But is that the only amazing song in this album? Hell no! Sunny Side Up is a rhythmic, dreamy and sexy track that tickles your ears and transports you to sun-drenched beaches. It's catchy enough to be anyone else's title track, but still maintains that slight unpredictable quality that defines this album. The voice editing in this song brings out the chilled quality of their voices, and the 'Wait, wait" is the absolute coolest line in any song ever.
Next, let me introduce you to your favourite song for the next month, Milkshake! It is similarly cool and charismatic, but also has just a touch of that freaky quality of Red Velvet's older hits 'Attaboy' and 'Bad Dracula'. The rap in this song is by far the best of the whole album, but the really defining part of this song is of course the 'Bom ba-ba bom' of the beat in the chorus! I had no idea a song could be so dance-worthy and memorable yet so slow tempo.
Are you ready for Bing Bing? I am! It's one of those fiery, uplifting, upbeat songs that makes you feel like the most special person in the world. It seems to scrap the dry, overused templates of song structure and instead has an incredible chorus that sounds like a pre-chorus, and a post-chorus part that sounds like an intro. This is all tied together with a super catchy riff of course. Soon you'll realise that our outdated expectations of how a Kpop song should sound are long overdue for a change, and this album will start that!
Next we have Parade. How can anyone describe this powerful song? The start seems like it will be a simple summery song, but the prechorus's mad structure begins to hint at something deeper. Once you hit the chorus, you're swept up by burning, sexy tunes mixed with ultra-cool electronic sounds that make you feel like you're floating up to space. Almost as a joke, the song finally ends with the simple beginning as if to remind you how much the song's grown since its start.
The last track on this album is LP. That silky smooth, cheeky and fun Red Velvet summer bop to add a touch of magic to even the greyest Monday. Though as smooth as chocolate, it still includes those slight discords just to remind you that Red Velvet are in league of their own. There is not one part of this gorgeous album that could ever be out of place because Red Velvet simply don't do boring.
I really think that this album is a game changer, and I look forward to a brand new universe of K-pop.

Kubernetes Adoption Rises But Challenges Still Remain
Marie Ponseel
Traefik Labs
In 2021, IT spending has continued to increase around the world as businesses remain working remotely, and hybrid office spaces become the new normal. By year end, Gartner forecasts that IT spending will hit $4.1 trillion — an increase of 8.4% from 2020.
As businesses look to digitally transform and innovate, emerging technologies such as Kubernetes and microservices are helping drive this spend upward, but with increased adoption comes increased operational challenges and growing pains.
Without sufficient tools, development teams employing Kubernetes spend a significant amount of time locating and fixing bugs, and often have to log directly into clusters to gain insight into the applications contained within them. Even when organizations have tools designed to alleviate these challenges, the setup, configuration, and scaling of Kubernetes clusters presents new issues.
To gain more insight into the challenges organizations face while using Kubernetes,Traefik Labs conducted a survey of over 1000 software engineers, DevOps practitioners, SREs and more. The results of this survey identified several issues IT teams face with Kubernetes, and help explain what's hindering the emerging technology's implementation.
Early Adopters Surge Ahead
While more than two thirds of the survey respondents reported using Kubernetes-based container orchestrators, 58% of these users are still running less than half of their business critical applications through the platform.
This could suggest that the majority of Kubernetes users are still early in their adoption of the technology. Comparatively, those familiar with the technology, roughly a quarter of the survey respondents, stated they run more than 75% of their business-critical applications on Kubernetes.
Lack of Observability and Insight
To make matters complicated, 60% of Kubernetes users responded to say they use multiple ingress technologies, and 61% reported the use of more than one or more public cloud providers. For software engineers operating in environments like these observability becomes a large challenge as it's difficult to obtain a clear view of everything deployed within clusters.
While some organizations leverage observability platforms to help address these issues, 48% of survey respondents reported they still have trouble setting up and configuring their clusters, and 28% find that maintenance of the orchestration platform is too challenging. In addition, respondents indicated the information received from these platforms is too generic and not actionable enough to accurately monitor and troubleshoot clusters.
The main issue survey respondents identified with troubleshooting was knowing which tool to use. Having too many available solutions and no clear way of observing clusters can overwhelm engineers, and is leading 50% of Kubernetes users to log directly into the clusters themselves to identify issues. As a result, 55% of Kubernetes users are having to spend hours fixing issues rather than minutes.
Scaling Pains
Although many organizations leverage Kubernetes in one way or another, due to the challenges identified above, scaling these implementations is a lingering challenge. When survey respondents were asked what the reasons were behind not scaling up, or increasing Kubernetes usage, the top response was cost management (44%). Knowing there's a plethora of solutions being used by teams leveraging Kubernetes, it's not surprising that costs are running high — especially seeing as issues that arise with the platform can require hours to fix.
These challenges exacerbate an environment that's already complex and widely distributed with multiple cloud environments, networking ingresses, hosting providers, and dozens of other tools. Those organizations looking to adopt Kubernetes or expand their usage of it are in dire need of solutions to help with configuration, scalability and maintenance of clusters. But, instead of just adding another tool to their toolbox, a better solution would be domain-agnostic tools that work out of the box and provide a holistic approach to managing dispersed environments.

They do more than farming though - they raise cows and chickens, and a whole cavalcade of other animals.
I talked with Coach Smallwood about why he made the move to Rodale, some of the most surprising misconceptions he's heard about organic, and how his life as a basketball coach translates in his current career.
On the job at Rodale:
"It was to be more impactful...I don't know how much higher you can go.
"This was the birthplace of the organic movement, and I'm the leader here now, making good impact."
On misconceptions:
"One is that organic can't feed the world. We hear that all that time. We've totally disproved that. Our farming systems trial started in 1981, the longest trial of its time in North America, growing conventional crops right next to organic. After now 32 years, this is what we know: in terms of feeding the world, the yields are the same. No scientist in the world would ever dispute the numbers.
"What we think is if the conventional growers think they can feed the world, then so can we. The difference is we can feed the world and feed them well."
On coaching's application in business:
"I had a lot of great players, and was successful with it. After 20 years, the whole nature of coaching evolved, and it was time for me to leave. It really is no different. It's pretty simple stuff: everybody has a role to play, and you have to make sure the right person has the ball."

Keanu Charles Reeves, whose first name means "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian, was born September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon. He is the son of Patricia Taylor, a showgirl and costume designer, and Samuel Nowlin Reeves, a geologist. Keanu's father was born in Hawaii, of British, Portuguese, Native Hawaiian, and Chinese ancestry, and Keanu's mother is originally from England. After his parents' marriage dissolved, Keanu moved with his mother and younger sister, Kim Reeves, to New York City, then Toronto. Stepfather #1 was Paul Aaron, a stage and film director - he and Patricia divorced within a year, after which she went on to marry (and divorce) rock promoter Robert Miller and hair salon owner Jack Bond. Reeves never reconnected with his biological father. In high school, Reeves was lukewarm toward academics but took a keen interest in ice hockey (as team goalie, he earned the nickname "The Wall") and drama. He eventually dropped out of school to pursue an acting career. After a few stage gigs and a handful of made-for-TV movies, he scored a supporting role in the Rob Lowe hockey flick Spalle larghe (1986), which was filmed in Canada. Shortly after the production wrapped, Reeves packed his bags and headed for Hollywood. Reeves popped up on critics' radar with his performance in the dark adolescent drama, I ragazzi del fiume (1986), and landed a supporting role in the Oscar-nominated Le relazioni pericolose (1988) with director Stephen Frears. His first popular success was the role of totally rad dude "Ted Logan" in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989). The wacky time-travel movie became something of a cultural phenomenon, and audiences would forever confuse Reeves's real-life persona with that of his doofy on-screen counterpart. He then joined the casts of Ron Howard's comedy, Parenti, amici e tanti guai (1989) and Lawrence Kasdan's Ti amerò... fino ad ammazzarti (1990). Over the next few years, Reeves tried to shake the Ted stigma with a series of highbrow projects. He played a slumming rich boy opposite River Phoenix's narcoleptic male hustler in Belli e dannati (1991), an unlucky lawyer who stumbles into the vampire's lair in Dracula di Bram Stoker (1992), and Shakespearean party-pooper Don John in Molto rumore per nulla (1993). In 1994, the understated actor became a big-budget action star with the release of Speed (1994). Its success heralded an era of five years in which Reeves would alternate between small films, like Due mariti per un matrimonio (1996) and L'ultima volta che mi sono suicidato (1997), and big films like Il profumo del mosto selvatico (1995) and L'avvocato del diavolo (1997). (There were a couple misfires, too: Johnny Mnemonic (1995) and Reazione a catena (1996).) After all this, Reeves did the unthinkable and passed on the Speed sequel, but he struck box-office gold again a few years later with the Wachowski siblings' cyberadventure, Matrix (1999). Now a bonafide box-office star, Keanu would appear in a string of smaller films -- among them Le riserve (2000), The Watcher (2000), The Gift - Il dono (2000), Sweet November - Dolce novembre (2001), and Hardball (2001) - before Matrix Reloaded (2003) and Matrix Revolutions (2003) were both released in 2003. Since the end of The Matrix trilogy, Keanu has divided his time between mainstream and indie fare, landing hits with Tutto può succedere - Something's Gotta Give (2003), La casa sul lago del tempo (2006), and La notte non aspetta (2008). He's kept Matrix fans satiated with films such as Constantine (2005), A Scanner Darkly - Un oscuro scrutare (2006), and Ultimatum alla Terra (2008). And he's waded back into art-house territory with Ellie Parker (2005), Thumbsucker - Il succhiapollice (2005), La vita segreta della signora Lee (2009), and Henry's Crime (2010). Most recently, as post-production on the samurai epic 47 Ronin (2013) waged on, Keanu appeared in front of the camera in Rivoluzione digitale (2012), a documentary on celluloid and digital filmmaking, which he also produced. He also directed another Asian-influenced project, Man of Tai Chi (2013). In 2014, Keanu played the title role in the action revenge film John Wick (2014), which became popular with critics and audiences alike. He reprised the role in John Wick - Capitolo 2 (2017), taking the now-iconic character to a better opening weekend and even more enthusiastic reviews than the first go-around.

The Dodgers expect All-Star shortstop Corey Seager will be ready to return to the lineup when the team hosts Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium.
And manager Dave Roberts also said Thursday left-hander Clayton Kershaw will start the series opener.
Seager missed the entire NCLS after spraining a muscle in his back in the NLDS against the Diamondbacks. The Los Angeles Times reported he played some catch at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, and was scheduled to hit off a batting tee Thursday.
"It's progressing, obviously, in the right direction," Roberts said (via the Times), adding the Dodgers "expect him back for Game 1."
The Dodgers will play the winner of the Yankees-Astros ALCS winner.
Meanwhile, Kershaw, whose postseason struggles have been well-documented, appeared in top form in the Dodgers' 11-1 NLCS-clinching victory Thursday night, giving up only one run on three hits in six innings of work.

Jan. 28 (UPI) -- England's Justin Rose grinded out a win at the 2019 Farmers Insurance Open for his 10th PGA Tour victory, the most by an Englishman since World War II.
Rose missed four short putts in the first six holes, dropping his lead in the final round to a single stroke. He birdied three of his next four holes and navigated Torrey Pines' challenging back nine for a two-shot win Sunday.
Rose's 21-under 267 (63-66-69-69) was the lowest 72-hole score at the event in 20 years, surpassing Tiger Woods' winning total in 2008 by two shots. The reigning FedEx Cup champion now sits in sixth in the standings.
"I always pride myself on the golf courses I've been able to win on and this one is another very great golf course with a lot of history," Rose told reporters. "I love winning on great tests of golf and this one will give some special feelings because of that."

Spruce beer is a beverage flavored with the buds, needles, or essence of spruce trees. Spruce beer can refer to either alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages.

A number of flavors are associated with spruce-flavored beverages, ranging from floral, citrus, and fruity, to cola-like flavors to resinous and piney. This diversity in flavor likely comes from the choice of spruce species, the season in which the spruce ingredients are harvested, and the manner of preparation.

Using evergreen needles to create beverages was practiced by in both Northern Europe and North America. certain Indigenous peoples of North America used the drink as a cure for scurvy during the winter months when fresh fruits were not available, as the fresh shoots of many spruces and pines are a natural source of vitamin C. It may also have been brewed in Scandinavia prior to European contact with the Americas, but most French and British explorers were ignorant of its use as a treatment for scurvy when they arrived in North America. Jacques Cartier and his explorers were exposed to it as a tea when they arrived in Stadacona in what is now Quebec in 1535. European sailors adopted the practice and subsequently spread it across the world.

History

North America and the Pacific

In 1536, the French explorer Jacques Cartier, exploring the St. Lawrence River, used the local natives' knowledge to save his men who were dying of scurvy.  He boiled the needles of a tree the St. Lawrence Iroquoians called the Aneda (probably Thuja occidentalis, commonly known as "eastern white cedar" and "arborvitae) to make a tea that was later shown to contain 50 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams. Such treatments were not available aboard ship, where the disease was most common. When Samuel de Champlain arrived 72 years later, he could not ask the locals which tree should be used, as the St. Lawrence Iroquoians had disappeared. This method of treating scurvy using evergreen-needle beverages was later picked up by the British Royal Navy, and spruce was regularly added to ship-brewed beer during eighteenth century explorations of the West Coast of North America and the wider Pacific, including New Zealand. Jane Austen, who had two brothers in the Royal Navy, refers to spruce beer in Chapter 40 of Emma.

Alcoholic spruce beer was common in the colonial United States and eastern Canada, made from red or black spruce. An American recipe from the 1796 edition of American Cookery by Amelia Simmons states:

Take four ounces of hops, let them boil half an hour in one gallon of water, strain the hop water then add sixteen gallons of warm water, two gallons of molasses, eight ounces of essence of spruce, dissolved in one quart of water, put it in a clean cask, then shake it well together, add half a pint of emptins, then let it stand and work one week, if very warm weather less time will do, when it is drawn off to bottle, add one spoonful of molasses to every bottle.

The Daily Order (11 June 1759) for the Highland Regiment in North America stipulated that: "Spruce beer is to be brewed for the health and conveniency of the troops which will be served at prime cost. Five quarts of molasses will be put into every barrel of Spruce Beer. Each gallon will cost nearly three coppers".

A Canadian recipe using similar ingredients for an unfermented tea from 1757 states:

It is made of the tops and branches of the spruces-tree, boiled for three hours, then strained into casks, with a certain quantity of molasses; and, as soon as cold, it is fit for use [...]

Today Sitka spruce, native to the northwest coast of North America, tends to be favored, although other species of spruce have also been used. Lighter, more citrus-like flavors are produced by using the bright green fresh spring growth before the new needles and twigs harden and become woody. Sitka spruce trees on the north-central Oregon Coast develop spring growth in early to mid-May.

Modern types

Spruce as flavoring in barley-based beer

Spruce or other evergreens have sometimes been used as a flavoring ingredient in beer, such as Alba Scots Pine Ale, the Alaskan Brewing Company's Winter Ale, Beau's Brewery's Spruce Moose Pale Ale, and Yards Brewing Company's Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce. Banded Brewing in Biddeford, Maine brews a pale ale named Greenwarden every spring with Maine foraged white spruce tips. Portsmouth New Hampshire's Earth Eagle Brewings combines locally foraged pine and spruce tips in their seasonal Connie Ferale amber. Tamworth Distilling in Tamworth, New Hampshire distills a spruce gin from foraged spruce tips also.

Re-creations of historic recipes
Very few modern beers are actually termed "spruce beer"; those that exist are often express attempts to create a historical recipe, which may be sugar-based or barley-based. One is Wigram Brewing Company's Spruce Beer, which is based on Captain Cook's first beer brewed in New Zealand in 1773; similarly, Yards Brewing Company says its Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce Ale is based upon a recipe for spruce beer recorded by Benjamin Franklin.

Spruce-flavored fermented beverages
Alcoholic spruce beer may also be made from sugar and flavoring from the spruce tree. Leaves, small branches, or extracted essence of spruce are boiled with sugar and fermented with yeast. Two different sources of sugar may be used, either molasses or white refined sugar.  A recipe for home-brewing spruce beer of this type appeared in 1974 in Cape Breton's Magazine.

Soft drinks
In the Canadian provinces of  Newfoundland and Quebec, where it is known in French as bière d'épinette, spruce beer may refer to either an artificially flavored non-alcoholic carbonated soft drink, or to genuine spruce beer. The latter is now made only by a few microbreweries.

5 natural foods to provide instant gas relief!
It is a common fact that most people tend to eat more when the food is just too delicious But, overindulgence in food can take your health for a toss and may lead to a bloated stomach due to indigestion which ultimately leads to excessive gas in the stomach.
This painful gas if not passed out either through burping or while flatulence, not just puts you in an uncomfortable situation but can also be a warning of serious health issue.
Consume just the right amount of ginger about half an hour before each meal and feel the difference.
Garlic is one of the oldest medicinal plants and is widely recognised as a health enhancing supplement. It not just gives flavour to your food, but can also help aid stomach gas as it has high fiber content.
Add a tablespoon of crushed cumin seeds to the soup to soothe the intestinal gases.
Taking juice of basil leaves with water empty stomach in the morning enhances digestive power and hence prevents bloated stomach.
Adding peppermint to your tea or eating them raw can help a lot in easing gastric problem.

Fair Free Flat Open
We support economic and political freedom in the United States.
Fair, Free, Flat, Open
Chipping away at our economic and political freedom
By FFFOAdmin July 22, 2022 Federal policy, From the desk of Dr. Schweitzer, IncentivesCHIPS act, Ed Schweitzer, incentives, semiconductors
Motivated by semiconductor chip shortages, brought about by COVID lockdowns and too-lean inventories, politicians of both parties want to help foster more chip manufacturing here at home.
During President Reagan's first inaugural address he taught us "government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." This, at a time when our country was facing crippling inflation.
Many years later, his Democratic successor President Clinton boldly stated during his State of the Union address that, "The era of Big Government is over."
Now more than ever, their successors in both the executive and legislative branches of the federal government should take heed of this bipartisan advice.
Unfortunately, their tools of choice all too often are more subsidies and a bigger government…rather than understanding the root causes of industry moving out of the United States.
The Chips Act wastes money.
Money we must print…it's inflationary.
Money generally going to large and profitable companies, at least one of which said they don't need it.
Money going to more government…new federal labs, new federal efforts to set industrial policy.
Money taxing us all directly, through inflation, and through redirecting resources to where bureaucrats want it to go. Not you or me, not investors, but government.
The roots of Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) are using microprocessors and digital signal processing to protect, control, and meter electric power systems. At its beginning (1984), virtually every semiconductor was manufactured here at home in the USA. I chose parts with that in mind. We are very concerned about where our components come from, but we can't support the Chips Act.
Today a semiconductor chip has more stamps on its passport of process than most of us see in years of traveling. Making the chips themselves is only one part of the chip supply process.
But subsidies and more government won't fix a thing – only make it worse!
What should we do about critical and strategic things? After all, most everything is strategic, not just chips: food, pharmaceuticals, energy, building materials, steel, aluminum, other metals, manufactured goods of all sorts, and so on.
You can't subsidize everything…or can we?
Our Founding Fathers got it right: a federal government with specific, enumerated, limited powers; the rest is up to the states. Inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Let's return to those First Principles.
Abandon the path that other countries are taking, and believe in ourselves.
Lower taxes, reduce regulations, accelerate the government we need.
Make it easier to build a house, dig a hole, start a business, mine and refine metals and minerals, grow our food, make our fertilizer, manufacture our chips, drugs, cars, everything.
Produce our own safe, reliable, and economical energy from all available sources.
Continuing the follies of more government, subsidies, mandates, regulations will only push us further down the list of countries in the Index of Economic Freedom (produced by the Heritage Foundation annually). Not too long ago back in 2008, the US was ranked number 5 on the list and sadly through the years, we have sunk to the 25th position behind Great Britain – the very country we won our economic and political freedom from.
We'll continue sinking if we follow our current course.
However, if we end the follies, we'll rise back up, and we'll reap the benefits. Manufacturing will prosper, return home, emerge from creative minds…supported by investment in the American Dream.
Our economy will prosper, and so will the environment, as those go together hand in hand.
So will our government's ability to do its job, laid out so beautifully and simply for us in our Constitution.
Please join hands in standing up for our economic and political freedom, and push back on subsidies and more government, including the so-called Chips Act.
We'll all benefit from the innovations stemming from individuals' minds, turning into inventions and products, developed and manufactured in America.
– Dr. Ed Schweitzer
Dr. Schweitzer in the Spokesman-Review: "Follow in the footsteps of Foley"
Happy 110th Birthday, Milton Friedman!

Новое немецкое кино (), новая волна немецкого кинематографа — направление в послевоенном западногерманском кино, непосредственно связанное с возрождением национального кинематографа в конце 1960-х и его расцветом в 1970-е годы.

История
Термин «Новое немецкое кино» возник, когда 26 немецких режиссёров подписали манифест, провозглашавший необходимость развития национального кино, — в том числе на государственные субсидии и без обязательного коммерческого успеха.

Бо́льшая часть этих режиссёров ушли из кинематографа — в том числе на телевидение.

Государство пошло навстречу этому начинанию, выделив субсидии из фонда германского МВД.

Новая волна


This article takes its point of departure from the critical debate over Saul Bellow's recent novel Ravelstein, whose eponymous main character, Abe Ravelstein, is identified by most reviewers as based on Allan Bloom, former professor of political philosophy at the University of Chicago. For many years, Bellow and Bloom were both members of that university's prestigious Committee on Social Thought, where they together taught classes dealing with politics and literature. But the meaning of Ravelstein cannot be reduced to arguments over how suitable a representation Ravelstein is of the real life Allan Bloom. I argue that Bellow's real contribution in Ravelstein is to provoke readers' sense of wonder about the larger relationship of literature to politics, consistent with the orientation of Bloom's political philosophy as distinct from reviewers' curiosity about Professor Ravelstein's lifestyle.
As a concept, Ravelstein sounds too abstract: academics rarely make interesting characters in novels, and academic philosophers are hardly the exception that proves the rule. But Ravelstein works because politics is put in its place and made subordinate to philosophy, as a necessary but insufficient pursuit for human happiness. Professor Ravelstein's hard-nosed interest in affairs of state is subservient to his warm-hearted interest in the state of the soul, and in the place of politics in satisfying a soul's longing for completeness through human fellowship. Politics both makes and breaks the highest human achievements. Referring to Shakespeare's Roman plays, Professor Ravelstein says: "without great politics the passions could not be represented" (p. 198). Ravelstein is punctuated by similar references to the contribution of literary works to our understanding of this fundamental longing.
It is unusual in itself to have a Nobel Prize-winning author like Bellow publish a novel dealing with political philosophy. It is even more unusual to have a novelist of Bellow's stature telling a story about the state of world affairs by focusing primarily on a political theorist. It is through the eyes and opinions of this quite worldly theorist that we size up contemporary political realities, drawn ever closer into Ravelstein's reliance on the loftiest standards of his version of the "great books" tradition from Plato's Republic through to Nietzschean postmodernism.

When You Love Your Parents But Not Their Political Viewpoints
With emotions running high, is it worth talking politics at all?
by Julia Ries
August 5, 2019 | Love
We're well aware that the political climate these days is heated, to say the very least. Between gun control, women's rights, our southern border and climate change, the issues at stake are serious, polarizing and emotional.
It's no wonder that people feel conflicted and downright baffled when they discover they're not on the same page as a friend, family member or colleague.
People can feel conflicted upon discovering they're not on the same page politically as a friend, family member or colleague.
This is especially true for young adults across the U.S. Many are realizing they're at complete and utter odds with their parents' political ideologies.
Navigating this sort of situation can be incredibly frustrating and downright destabilizing.
"In today's political climate, people often have difficulty understanding why people think the way that they do politically," said Kathryn Moore, a psychologist at Providence Saint John's Child and Family Development Center in Santa Monica, California. "This can be especially upsetting when it is a family member that we love whom we feel is so different in their viewpoints or values."
[ICYMI: When You Don't Agree, How to Talk About Politics]
Here's why it sucks
Parents are, typically, a major source of information for us when we're growing up. Kids often develop their opinions and world views at home, with their family.
When they start working through their own beliefs and values later on in life, it can be confusing realizing that they disagree with what they were brought up to believe.
"When a person's ideas and beliefs conflict with their family's, it can be unsettling because it can cause a person to question their own belief system and view the people they respected in a different light," said Brandi Lewis, a licensed therapist and owner of Reach Counseling Solutions in Charlotte, North Carolina.
In many ways, this can cause some to feel they were living in ignorance by taking on the opinions of their loved ones without question, she said.
It can also cause people to question and doubt their relationships altogether.
The importance of tolerance
Just because your parents have a different viewpoint than you have, it doesn't mean they are morally flawed.
Your parents and your grandparents are in a different stage of life than you. This means different things — for example, financial security — are probably more important to them, said Victor Fornari, the vice chair of child and adolescent psychiatry with Zucker Hillside Hospital and an investigator with the Center for Psychiatric Neuroscience at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research.
The best way forward for you and your parents is to be tolerant and respectful of each other's views.
"In spite of the fact that the country is more polarized than it's ever been — or at least in recent history — I think parents and kids need to try to somehow temper it and be tolerant of one another," Fornari said. "This is really a phase in societal life and hopefully the tensions will dissipate when the passions are less intense."
Still, it can be tough. Conversations can get heated and feelings can be very raw. This will likely continue to be the case through the 2020 election, he added.
"Ask for mutual respect," Lewis advised. "Respect that your parents and family members may not always agree with you politically and equally ask that they respect you in the same way."
In addition, approach your political chats with openness. Listen more than you speak.
"Focus on the broad topics that we all agree on and come to the discussion with an openness and a desire to understand the person's point of view," Moore said.
Focus on what you agree on
Here's the thing. Most people actually want a lot of the same things: good health care, a strong economy, better education and safer neighborhoods.
The differences come into play when people discuss the best ways to accomplish these things.
So, rather than putting strains on your closest relationships, try to find some common ground. Stick to more neutral territory.
"You know that your parents love you and you know that you love your parents. I think it's probably best that you focus on other aspects of your relationship — things that you share, things that you can enjoy together — and not focus on politics. It's not going to be productive," Fornari said.
How do you cope with differences in political opinion in your family? Share in the comments.

The extent to which Latin was familiar to the inhabitants of late sixth- and early seventh-century Constantinople is a topic of current discussion and interest. While there is little evidence to suggest a significant knowledge of Latin even among the educated in the seventh century, it is clear that in the late sixth century the language was still familiar to a section of the upper classes. Among native easterners, the degree of this familiarity would certainly have varied considerably, from those (...) who could recognise a few words of Latin, through the lawyers, administrators and military men who had a specialised, professional knowledge, to the small proportion who could detect the Virgilian echoes in Corippus' panegyric of Justin II. Whether Paul the Silentiary, epigrammatist and panegyrist of the Emperor Justinian's church of S. Sophia, should be included in the small category who were acquainted with Latin literature is indeed a more far-reaching issue than that of the survival of Latin in the eastern capital, since it is an element in the larger problem of the extent to which late Greek poets knew and imitated the work of their Latin predecessors. The broad generalisations of the past no longer satisfy modern scholarship, which rightly demands rigorous scrutiny of the evidence for each individual author. (shrink)

The 'turgid archaisms' of Paul the Silentiary's style have ensured that his two hexameter Ekphrases, describing the Emperor Justinian's sixth-century church of S. Sophia in Constantinople and its ambo, have lately attracted little interest, except among art historians who seek to extract nuggets of architectural information. On the other hand, the eighty or so pagan epigrams by Paul which are preserved in the Palatine and Planudean Anthologies have received attention in recent years both because of their literary interest and for (...) the social and historical information which they contain. In my opinion, the much more substantial Ekphrases likewise deserve to be examined as literary and historical documents. The title Ekphrasis disguises the historical interest of the works: unlike the majority of the epigrams, these poems are no mere literary exercises, but official, public works, undoubtedly commissioned by Justinian, and delivered on specific and identifiable occasions. Only the central portion of the major poem describing S. Sophia comprises technical architectural ekphrasis; this is preceded and followed by panegyrical material appropriate to the occasion of recitation which together takes up almost half the total length of the poem . Here the Emperor Justinian, patron of the church, and Eutychius, Patriarch of Constantinople, are praised, and the events leading up to the occasion of the poem sketched. This topical part of the work provides evidence for the ceremonial which accompanied the poem's recitation and demonstrates the type of imperial propaganda pertinent to the end of the reign of Justinian. Moreover, an explanation for a limited number of stylistic flaws in a work which, by contemporary standards at least, is of high literary quality, may lie in the recognition that Paul was obliged to complete his poem in time for a specific occasion. It is with these three occasional aspects of the work that I shall here be concerned. (shrink)

FDA Recalls Zimmer Biomet Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder Device | Ennis & Ennis, P.A.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued a Class 1 recall, the most serious type of recall, for the Zimmer Biomet Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder Device due to an unreasonably high fracture rate. Individuals who experience a fracture of the Zimmer Biomet shoulder replacement may require additional revision surgery. This surgery bears the risks of significant pain, infections and/or permanent loss of shoulder function and mobility. The FDA noted that patients have experienced a far greater fracture rate than what is described on the device labeling.
Zimmer Biomet's Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder is a surgically implantable medical device that helps patients recover arm movement following reverse shoulder replacement. It is often used in patients with a torn rotator cuff who also have severe shoulder arthritis along with a previously failed shoulder joint replacement. The Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder was brought to market via the FDA's 510(K) program, which permits a medical device manufacturer to bypass human clinical trials if they are able to demonstrate that the product is "substantially similar" to another device that was previously approved by the agency.
* Manufactured from August 25, 2008 to September 27, 2011.
If you or a loved one were implanted with the Zimmer Biomet Comprehensive Reverse Shoulder Device contact the attorneys at Ennis & Ennis, P.A. or visit us online at www.EnnisLaw.com and fill out an online form.

Footballing prodigy Takefusa Kubo, dubbed the 'Japanese Messi', has been snapped up by the club who boast the original Lionel Messi.
According to reports in Spain, Barcelona moved after being impressed by his performances at a football school they ran in Yokohama.
He had already shot to prominence when videos of him tricking his way past one defender after another appeared online, though for a long time his identity was unknown.
Sport, the Spanish newspaper, report that Kubo's family have moved to Barcelona, and though he does not live at their La Masia academy he comes in daily to train, and has already begun to feature in youth level games.
Kubo, who is known as 'Take' in Catalonia, is the first Japanese player on the European champions' books.

HRC Comments on Illinois' 3rd Congressional District Primary Result
From a press release
This article shared 415 times since Wed Mar 21, 2018
CHICAGO — Today, the Human Rights Campaign ( HRC ), the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer ( LGBTQ ) civil rights organization, released the following statement on the primary election results in Illinois' 3rd Congressional District.
"This should be a wake up call to Dan Lipinski," said HRC Senior Vice President for Policy and Political Affairs JoDee Winterhof. "A politician who has fought against the rights of LGBTQ people, women, and immigrants for more than a decade in Congress went from a 24 point lead to barely holding on to his job. Now, our task is to continue holding him accountable. The people of Illinois want and deserve a representative in Congress who will stand up for their fundamental rights — not undermine them and rubber stamp the Trump-Pence agenda. If Dan Lipinski continues down the wrong path, he will not get a second chance the next time his constituents head into the voting booth."
Rep. Lipinski has an abysmal record on LGBTQ equality and the shameful distinction of being the worst-scoring Democrat in the U.S. House and Senate on HRC's Congressional Scorecard. The Illinois congressman sponsored the so-called First Amendment Defense Act, which could allow widespread discrimination against LGBTQ people, and earlier this year he stated in an interview that he doesn't support marriage equality. In 2007, Lipinski voted against a version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act on the House floor, and he is one of only two House Democrats who have not expressed support for the Equality Act — federal legislation that would finally provide consistent and explicit non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people.
HRC, NARAL Pro-Choice America, SEIU, MoveOn, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and EMILY's List launched an unprecedented joint independent expenditure campaign against Lipinski to educate voters about his anti-LGBTQ, anti-choice, anti-worker, and anti-immigration record. The coalition spent more than $1.6 million to expose Dan Lipinski's record through a relentless omnimedia and on-the-ground voter persuasion and mobilization campaign, including direct mail, digital persuasion ads, peer-to-peer texting and TV ads. In partnership with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights ( ICIRR ) Action, HRC also invested an additional $50K into a $130K Latino Outreach program, targeting Spanish-speaking voters in the district through canvassing and in ads over radio and TV.
HRC staff and volunteers also spent over 1,500 hours mobilizing our thousands of members and supporters in the district to vote. They knocked on over 2,000 doors and made over 70,000 calls to voters, helping close a huge gap between the sitting member of Congress and his challenger, Marie Newman. The close race sent a clear message to Lipinski that this district, and the country, want their representatives to champion Americans' fundamental rights and freedoms — not undermine them.
The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are embraced as full members of society at home, at work, and in every community

Q: Is it possible to formalize mathematics by using a different logic system (higher order, non-classical logics, model theory…)? Is it possible to formalize mathematics by using a different logic system (higher order, non-classical logics, model theory…)?
Hilbert's dream (against Gödel). The axiomatic system of all mathematical theories. I mean axiomatic formalization or axiomatization in terms of the Hilbert's program, which imply developping a single logical-mathematical language or formal system to formalize every possible mathematical theory (well, or at least, the actual existing ones).

A: Your question is way too vague to answer properly, so let's try to pin down exactly what you mean.
What is going on when mathematicians claim that all of common mathematics can be grounded in first order logic? Well, it means that there exists interpretations that allow you to identify the structures used in different areas of mathematics with syntactical expressions expressed in the language of set theory.
Are there other alternatives to FOL? Sure. It would be pretty damn surprising if of all formalizations of logical reasoning we had chosen the only one that truly works.
So let's go for the quest of other logic to ground mathematics on! What properties would we like our theory to have?
Well, first of all we would like our theory to be expressive. We want our logic to be able to handle complex mathematical structures like numbers and infinite sets of numbers and groups and categories and whatnot.
On the other hand, we would like our logic to be nicely behaved, in the sense that it is possible to easily compute the logical entailments of the theory.
But it turns out that you cannot get both. By Tarsky's theorem, as soon as you have a system expressive enough to talk about basic arithmetic, undecidability kicks in and you are left with a semidecidable (at best) theory.
There are useful logical theories which are decidable and useful, such as modal provability logic and propositional logic, but they are limited in their scope.
On the other hand, there are also more expressive theories than FOL, such as Higher Order Logic. This comes at the expense of losing semidecidability.
On a personal note, I think that Hilbert's dream is far from dead, and that we should keep trying to come up with a better way of formalizing and automating math. Sure, there will always be undecidability and tricky self referential sentences whose value we are unsure about, but we humans still manage to talk meaningfully about the world and make useful deductions, so why not formalize that powerful intuition?

They gave out Jaguar print X tattoo's, stickers, and mousepads. If you bought a Mac or a copy of 10.2 you also got a free tee-shirt.
Hey! That's great! You talked to Steve!
I got to talk to him at the MacWorld Tokyo this year.. Luckily I got the front seats, and he was just talking to Phil right next to me! So I just got up, went over to him, said how great the new iMac was, and shook his hand! It was great!
I'm sorry, I guess I posted this in the wrong place. I haven't posted much to this board. Please excuse my error I was a bit excited.
What I wouldn't give to see him!!! I want to meet Steve and have him sign one of my posters.
U lucky little people u!
What a boot-licker you are! I would have asked him were the hell the G5 was and kicked him in the nuts.
MacCentral has a better picture of him in their '100 Minutes of Jaguar' Review.
Hey, I was planning to tell him that he better annouce something really good there at the Keynote... but when you're actually standing in front of him... dude, he was like shining like a god.. all over.... how do you suppose I get angry at him then??
but when you're actually standing in front of him... dude, he was like shining like a god.. all over.... how do you suppose I get angry at him then??
wow, you need to get out more....... eh??
no really, why doesn't somebody do this?
AHH! for once you and i agree!
i would stand right in front of him and yell out "Lisa 2" over and over while pumping my fists in the air. No really do...who knows what I would do .
Ahhh yes. Steve Jobs's Reality Distortion Field (C) (TM) at work. Quite amazing, isn't it? I wonder where he stores the fusion reactor that powers the damn thing. Its radius is huge!
If I saw him I'd be like "When the hell is my Dual 1.25 Going to ship?"
and then follow up with "Why the hell is that the top of the line?"
And then add "Put some freaking Firewire/USB ports on the FRONT of the tower"

'It'll be hard to get a job with my tatts'
Puk Kireka has lost 31kg since taking up rugby.
by NZ Herald
9th Jun 2019 11:26 AM
A man who has been in and out of jail has revealed how he turned his life around, but the challenges he now faces in getting a job.
Puk Kireka, 31, now plays rugby in New Zealand with Tamatea and faces sledges from spectators because of his distinctive face tattoo.
He has the slogan of the Mongrel Mob gang "notorious" tattooed in black and red on his face.
"What's that mobster doing on the field ... he's giving our code a bad look," remarked a spectator while pointing at Kireka during a match against Napier Technical.
Father-of-three Kireka, 31, is a mobster but also a player with one hell of a story to tell.
Kireka, from Napier in New Zealand, talked to Hawke's Bay Today about how he is turning his life around.
He has already lost 31kg since taking up rugby.
"Basically I just wanted to get healthy ... look good and feel good," Kireka said.
He admits sport wasn't really a priority when he was at school.
"I just went to school to eat lunch and play a bit of basketball at lunchtime," Kireka said.
Despite his limited sporting background, he impressed during pre-season with Tamatea, doing 30 press-ups, 30 squats, 30 sit-ups and three consecutive 500m sprints in just 7m 50s.
"I could have done more than those three 500 metres at the end ... that's how good I felt," Kireka recalled.
Kireka has the Mongrel Mob gang's slogan "notorious" tattooed across his face.
He understood there may be sceptics who will question whether meth was used during his weight loss program.
"I was into meth before my last stint in jail. But I kicked the habit while in prison and I've been drug-free for the last four years," Kireka explained.
A mobster since 2008, Kireka, had two prison lags, a three-year one on violence-related charges and a two-year one for standovers.
"I first went to court when I was 16 and I haven't been back since 2016. Meeting (Tamatea head coach) Levi (Armstrong) in 2017 helped turn my life around.
"I've proved to be an inspiration for other mobsters throughout the country. Since they have read about my lifestyle change on Facebook many have been in touch asking about my fitness programs so they can follow them."
Kireka will start a level four Sport and Recreation course next month with the aim of gaining a diploma and then a degree before securing a job within the sporting industry.
"I know it will be hard to get a job with my tatts," Kireka said pointing to the mob colours which decorate his face.
"I will always be a mobster but it's important to show we can have better lifestyles. I want to bring some of the others on board this better lifestyle.
"A lot of them are still drinking and smoking. While they aren't getting into much trouble they are still ruining their lives with their lifestyle."

Aligarh Muslim University celebrates Republic Day
AcademicsCompetitionInternational News
By iednewsdesk	 Last updated May 1, 2020
Aligarh: "The concept of Secularism is not new to India. Tolerance for all religions-has always been the cornerstone of the Indian Culture. Ye Desh Aapka Hai, Mera Hai, Hum Sab Ka Hai (This Country belongs to all of us). It is an indisputable fact that hundreds of millions of Indians belonging to different religions lived in peace and harmony through the ages and will continue to do so in future Insha Allah. It is heartening to see that the preamble has become an Anthem, filling up spaces in the country to its resounding recitals of inspiration," said Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Vice Chancellor, Professor Tariq Mansoor while addressing the gathering at the Republic Day celebrations in AMU.
AMU today celebrated the Republic Day with enthusiasm and gaiety at the Strechy Hall, to mark the anniversary of the day on which Constitution was adopted in 1950.
The Vice Chancellor added that as a democratic academic institution, AMU is committed to allow peaceful protests on any issue within the ambit of law.
"Democracy thrives on listening, deliberating, discussing, arguing and even dissenting. The recent happenings in the campus have been very unfortunate I have always stood and will always stand by my students, teachers and the entire AMU fraternity. Their welfare is fore most on my mind," said Prof Mansoor.
He emphasised: "One of the challenges of our present time is that, all of us must learn to live harmoniously in a heterogeneous, pluralistic and multi diverse society. The pursuit of knowledge, education and inclusiveness is the best and only way forward."
After a customary parade by NCC cadets and unfurling of the Tricolour, Vice Chancellor, Prof Mansoor said that on this occasion, more than ever before, we need to look into the spirit of our constitution and its guiding principles of justice, liberty, fraternity, equality and dignity for all of its citizens, irrespective of religion, region, gender, caste and class.
"The Tricolor flag and the Preamble are testimonies of our Indian identity-they are the spirit of our courage, our large heartedness and our convictions," said the Vice Chancellor.
He remarked that AMU founder, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan's concept of the Nation was inextricably woven in secularism and he firmly believed in religious and cultural unity based on equal respect for all religions and cultures.
"Aligarh Muslim University has consistently adhered to the vision of its founder and does not discriminate on the basis of religion, gender, castes or creed. Let us all endeavor to carry forward his message," he said.
Prof Mansoor expressed: "We at AMU are committed to the preservation and protection of our Minority Character and historical legacy. The university is facing many challenges and the entire AMU community must act maturely. Aligarh Muslim University is consistently forging ahead on the path of progress and all-round development. Let us, on this auspicious day, make a solemn pledge to rededicate ourselves to take our university to new heights of glory and to usher in an era of academic excellence and all-round progress. In this fiercely competitive world, we have to work harder than ever to redeem this pledge."
"We are consistently improving our rankings in the government and international ranking agencies. The Faculty of Life Sciences, Medicine, Law and Engineering are among top ranked institutions of the country," emphasised the Vice Chancellor.
He conveyed that for the benefit of students, new courses such as MBA (Hospital Administration, Islamic Banking and Finance), M Tech (Biomedical Engineering, Renewable and Solar Energy) and PG Diploma in Muslim Chaplaincy have been introduced.
The University has also got sanctioned MD Courses in four departments of Ajmal Khan Tibbiya College, said Prof Mansoor.
He pointed out that the approval for the establishment of a Paramedical College, College of Nursing and Institute of Pharmacy has been received from the President of India.
The Vice Chancellor said that Synthetic Astroturf courts for Lawn Tennis and Basketball have been constructed and AMU recently won North Zone Cricket Intervarsity, 2019-20.
Meanwhile, Rs 100 crores have been sanctioned for two new hostels in Murshidabad and Malappuram Centres by the Ministry of Minority Affairs, Government of India, said Prof Mansoor adding that AMU has also been awarded the first prize in India among Educational Institution in Solar Energy.
No excuses. Keep schools open. Children can't wait

He informed that proposals for the establishment of Centres of Artificial Intelligence, Remote Sensing and Green Energy are also been submitted.
"AMU is also playing an important role in outreach programmes, which have helped in reducing neonatal and maternal mortality in Uttar Pradesh by training government/semi government, para medical staff," he said.
He emphasised that the supreme law of the land, our constitution seeks to build a just and equitable society where all its citizens enjoy rights, responsibilities and stand equal before its law.
"Our constitution is a unique and remarkable document embracing a staggering diversity of religions, customs, traditions, languages and ethnicities. This exemplary document is a leader of all other constitutions of the world. India's pluralism, social, cultural, linguistic and religious diversity are its greatest strength," said the Vice Chancellor.
He pointed out that the founding fathers of our nation represented the aspiration of different sections of our society and it is due to their efforts and farsightedness that secular principles are enshrined in the Indian Constitution.
India is an epitome of unity in diversity and it's a matter of pride that we are citizens of this great country, said Prof Mansoor.
"Let us all salute our national flag that symbolises our national pride. Let us remember and pay tributes to Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Independent India's first Law Minister and the Principal architect of our constitution," said the Vice Chancellor adding that Babasaheb Ambedkar addressed AMU students in the Strachey Hall on several occasions on the invitations extended to him.
"Today, we also fondly remember the heroes of our freedom movement-Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Sardar Patel, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Maulana Hasrat Mohani and scores of others as we owe our freedom from the imperialist domination and colonial exploitation to the sacrifices they made, so we could have a better life," further said the Vice Chancellor.
Concluding the speech, the Vice Chancellor pointed out that running a university, as big as AMU, is not a one-man show and it is the unstinting support and cooperation from the members of teaching, non-teaching staff, the administration, alumni and our well-wishers that makes it possible.
"I take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you. Let us all work together to make our country a shining example of universal brotherhood, harmony and a champion of democratic values," said the Vice Chancellor.
University students, Zainab Fatima (B A English) and Naushad Ahmad (B A Hindi) also delivered speeches.
