I killed a snake in our backyard last week. I had been trimming the bloomed-out azaleas with an electric hedge trimmer. When the pile of dead branches and spent blooms started piling up, I went to find the metal rake so I could move them to our 'sinkhole' up near the fence. Sidebar: the builder oh-so-many-years-ago decided that instead of disposing of the trash properly as he built the house, his crew could simply toss everything up into the backyard. Some 28-odd years later, there sits a hungry sinkhole that we feed several times a year with grass, leaves, branches, and whatever my young son and his friends decide is worthy of burying in our backyard abyss.
Anyway, as I carried the rake back to my work site, I saw him: a large black and yellow snake curled up at the base of the railroad ties. I dropped the rake and made a quick retreat to the steps of the deck. Apparently the vibration of the rake caused the snake to stir, and he began slithering his way back behind the railroad tie wall where my trimming had disturbed his home. I suddenly realized that if he made it all the way in I would never see him again. At first, that thought comforted me. Then it occurred to me that I would still know he was out there. Some ten feet or so away from the trampoline – and the kids. I grabbed a huge pair of 'yard scissors' (manual hedge trimmers?) and snagged him around his mid-section. Long story short, after a twisty, turney, tug-of-war I won and cut the snake in half. He was laid to rest in a Tupperware dish with a rock on top of the lid (just in case a sawed-in-half snake could resurrect itself and escape) until my husband could get home to see my trophy of bravery.
What I didn't know at the time was that my backyard companion was in fact a King Snake: non-venomous, not prone to strike (constrictor family), and easily tamed (please don't tell my boys that last part). He was in fact the neighborly kind of snake that eats rodents of every kind and is impervious to the bite of other native Georgia snakes which are venomous like the rattler, water moccasin, and a few others. Bummer. He was a good size, too. Somewhere around 23″ long and as big around as my two thumbs put together. I went to bed that night wondering if sometime in the next few days or weeks we would be overrun by rodents who had been given the green light to invade our now unsecured backyard. No sugarplums for me – I had visions of Willard dancing through my head.
As I was relaying this story to my Mom the next day on the phone, she said almost as an afterthought, "Too bad you didn't know what he was from the start; you might have changed your mind." I've been chewing on that for several days now. How many times in my life have I encountered something that appeared to be a threat and reacted (panicked), only later to realize if I had only taken the time to get all the facts, I might have changed my mind? In my defense, I have a history with snakes. I've killed three in our yard in the last seven years and have been bitten by one. Still, it has given me pause to recall at least a handful of decisions that given the opportunity and more information, I would have indeed 'changed my mind'.
It might be stretching things a bit to say I miss ole' Mr. Black and Yellow, but knowing what I know now, I might just have let him slither back behind those railroad ties and live happily (and well fed) ever after.

Why occupy? It's the inequality.
October 12, 2011 Marc Lee One comment
The Occupy Wall Street protests hinge on injustice, in particular a malaise with the current economic system that has brought us a tremendous inequality and the rise of the super-rich, or top 1%. But surely that is just the US?
Alas, no. The figure below shows the change in BC labour income (wages and salaries) and corporate profits (before tax) going back to 1991. They are presented as an index, with 1991 = 100. While total labour income doubled between 1991 and 2009 (not adjusting for inflation or population growth), corporate profits rose by 700% at their peak in 2008, before dropping somewhat in 2009.

Ottawa beats estimate of annual deficit by $2.8 billion as revenues rise
The Canadian Press, On Wednesday October 12, 2011, 3:30 pm EDT
OTTAWA – Ottawa says it was $2.8 billion to the good on its deficit projections last year.
The federal government says its final accounting shows last year's deficit for 2010-11 was $33.4 billion, better than the $36.2-billion shortfall it had estimated in June's economic update.
That's about 40 per cent lower than the record $55.6 billion posted in 2009-10 when Ottawa was responding to a deep global recession.
The improved results were due to a $1.5-billion increase in revenue over earlier estimates, while program spending was $1.2 billion less.
Ottawa says almost half of the deficit is attributable to stimulus measures to help the economy emerging from recession.
If Ottawa had spent the $2.8 million into the economy in qtr 1 or 2, we would have avoided the contraction and slow patch.
It might help to divert the tax cuts from corporations to individuals but actually I'm against that – and also against increased tax deductions – because people consider their taxes as part of the social contract and also as their ante in the discussion on the economy.
Corporations pay so little tax, why do they have such a big say.

In the summer of 2010 I participated in the Gullkistan artists residency in southern Iceland. I started a series of small paintings, 24 x 18 inches. The paintings continued my inquiry and practice into contemporary abstraction and were also influenced by Iceland's unique landscape and geothermal activity. I also worked on a series of drawings and explored parts of the island. The works on this page are composite images combing the paintings, drawings and photographs.


Sideline reporters do not easily impress me. Many of them don't provide anything that the guys in the booth can't provide.
However, two radio sideline reporters have stood out to me over the years for their ability to offer insights that can't come from the booth – Jordan Moore at USC and Matt Walters of Kansas State. (Full disclosure – Matt has been a friend of mine for 26 years).
I spoke to Jordan and Matt about how they approach their jobs in a way that distinguishes themselves. They agree that they are responsible for bringing two things to the table.
Jordan: "I comb social media throughout the game to keep abreast of any developing storylines and notable personalities, like former USC players, to provide an outside perspective.
Matt: "Be original and do your own work. Read the online stuff to educate yourself but it's also your job to ask questions.
I'll be sideline reporting on Saturday, can't wait!
Hi Ben — terrific — I hope some of these tips will be helpful. Have a great, and fun, broadcast!

Q: Number of such five digit numbers formed of $0,1,2,3,4,5$ which are divisible by $6$ without repetition I came across the question in the picture on the net. I couldn't figure
out the solution given. But what I got is total number of such $5$
digit numbers using the given digits will be $5.5!$. Half of them will
be divisible by $2$. And $1/3$ of them will be divisible by $3$. (Not sure though) What's next? I couldn't decipher what's written after that...
Please try to use the permutations and combinations approach if possible:

A $5$-digit number is formed by using the digits $0$, $1$, $2$, $3$,
  $4$ & $5$ without repetition. The probability that the number is
  divisible by $6$ is:
(A) $8\%$
(B) $17\%$
(C) $18\%$
(D) $36\%$
Ans: (C)
Hint: Number should be divisible by $2$ and $3$.
$n(S) = 5 \cdot 5!$; $n(A)$: reject '$0$' $= 2 \cdot 4!$
reject '$3$' $= 4! + 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3!$
Total $n(A) = 3 \cdot 4! + 6 \cdot 3! = 18 \cdot 3!$
$\therefore p = \frac{18 \cdot 3!}{5 \cdot 5!} = 18\%$

A: I. A number $n$ is divisible by $6$ if it is divisible by both $2$ and $3$.
II. A number $n$ is divisible by $2$ if the rightmost digit is even.
III. A number $n$ is divisible by $3$ if the sum of its digits is divisible by $3$.
We have access to six digits, $\{0,1,2,3,4,5\}$, which sum to $15$. We need a $5$-digit number. This means we must remove one digit such that the resulting digit-sum is divisible by $3$.
We can do this by either eliminating the $0$ (which results in the digit-sum $15$) or eliminating the $3$ (which results in the digit-sum $12$). This will allow us to create numbers that are divisible by $3$ no matter how we order the digits.
Your picture/solution is counting up the possible even numbers for both cases after the divisibility-by-$3$ rule has been satisfied by rejecting a particular digit from the set.

A: We try to count how many five-digit numbers formed with digits $0,1,2,3,4,5$ are divisible by six.
To begin, we note three important facts:

*

*To be a five-digit number, the first digit must not be a zero (otherwise it would technically be a four-digit number.  $01234$ is a four digit number)

*To be divisible by six, the number must be divisible by two, so the final digit must be either $0,2,$ or $4$

*To be divisible by six, the number must be divisible by three, so the sum of the digits must add up to a multiple of three.  The only way for this to occur with the desired digits and no repetition of digits is if exactly one of $0$ or $3$ is used.  (the proof of which follows from modular arithmetic)

So, putting this information together, we start counting.
Case 1: $0$ is not used

*

*Pick the final digit: It can either be a two or a four.  - $2$ choices

*Pick how the rest of the digits are arranged.  - $4!$ choices

Case 2a: $3$ is not used and $0$ is at the end

*

*Pick how the rest of the digits are arranged.  - $4!$ choices

Case 2b: $3$ is not used and $0$ is not at the end

*

*Pick the final digit: It can be either a two or a four.  -$2$ choices

*Pick the location of the zero.  It cannot be at the start or the end.  $3$ choices

*Pick how the rest of the digits are arranged.  $3!$ choices

There are then a total of $2\cdot 4!+4!+2\cdot 3\cdot 3! = 108$ possible five-digit numbers satisfying the conditions.
The total number of five-digit numbers that can be created with those available digits will be $5\cdot 5!=600$.  (Arrange all six digits in a row, the final digit is unused.  Remove the "bad" arrangements where zero is the leading digit for $6!-5! = 5\cdot 5!$)
The probability that a five-digit number formed from those digits is divisible by six is then $\frac{108}{600}=0.18$

Democrats align with aspects of Gianforte's budget, push for more help for working families
Nicole Girten
The Daily Montanan
Leaders from the Montana Democratic party praised aspects of Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte's budget, like the child tax credit and property tax relief, but said his plans don't go far enough to offer long-term relief.
House Minority Leader Kim Abbott of Helena said she was "thrilled" Gianforte incorporated a child tax credit into his budget, which she said was a long-term Democratic priority.
Gianforte proposed a $1,200 child tax credit for children less than 6 years-old and a $5,000 adoption tax credit.
"But at the same time, we don't know if that's permanent, we don't know if it's refundable, and it needs to be both of those things to do what it's meant to do," Abbott said Wednesday. "A family's paying about $9,000 sometimes for a slot at a childcare center, and that's if they're lucky enough to get a slot to begin with."
During the summer Democrats outlined priorities for how they wanted to see the $2 billion in budget surplus allocated during the upcoming session, with childcare being one of them.
A bill draft requested by Sen. Shannon O'Brien, D-Missoula, would, as Abbott explained, bring the eligibility for the Best Beginnings program up to what it was when there was funding through the American Rescue Plan Act. The program offers low-income families scholarships to help pay for childcare.
In a Wednesday interview, O'Brien said childcare affordability is a high priority and bipartisan issue. She said specifics are still being worked out.
"When we don't have the freedom to go back to work because we can't find childcare, it's just not fair," O'Brien said.
Senate Minority Leader Pat Flowers of Belgrade said that Gianforte's plan for property tax relief is a "one time only" fix and that there is a need for an ongoing solution.
The Governor said his plan would provide $500 million in property tax relief in part through a $1,000 rebate that would be available to homeowners once a year for the next two years.
"A subsidy in one year or two years is not going to solve the problem," Flowers said.
Democrats are looking to re-introduce legislation that would cap property taxes to a percentage of annual income. O'Brien introduced the bill during the 2021 session that ultimately did not pass. O'Brien said it was unclear why it didn't pass, but that she's hoping this time they can produce something everyone can agree on.
Another tool for tackling rising housing costs that Flowers said Democrats were going to pursue was a tax incentive for landlords willing to offer rentals below market rates.
"As opposed to increasing housing supply that could actually have an immediate impact on those that are just trying to find affordable rentals," Flowers said.
When asked about how to understand the market rate for rentals, Flowers said those details are yet to be addressed, but it would likely require the creation of an index to describe market rates.
"We're still in the process of working out those details of what that index would look like and then how you would scale, for example, an income tax credit to the amount that you'd be willing to rent below market," Flowers said.
Abbott also pointed to a bill draft request she submitted that would establish a workforce housing trust fund.
O'Brien said another idea that came out of the Revenue Interim Committee was a tax credit for lower-income renters and homeowners for up to $1,300 that would be implemented on a sliding scale.

"The governor's budget includes a tax credit for homeowners, but it really doesn't address renters," she said. "So this would help out those people who are making under $45,000 a year, either way, renting or home owning."
Abbott said the democratic caucus will work to hold Republicans accountable for policies that prioritize the wealthiest in the state. The proposed budget would lower taxes for top earners from 5.9% to 6.5%.
She spoke to the responsibility of governing, as they hold a supermajority in the legislature and also the Governor's office.
"But where we can work with Republicans to deliver for communities, our whole caucus is up for that," she said.

Q: How to set a global font - CSS I want  to set a global font with CSS in one of my projects.
What I have tried is the following:
@font-face {
    font-family: HoftypeLight;
    src: Valid URL;
}

* {
    font-family: HoftypeLight;
}

but it seems not to work.
I know that I properly get the font because I have tried to add to one of my texts this class:
.test {
   font-family: HoftypeLight;
}

and it works.

A: Hello I think use like this
body {
  font-family: Algerian;
}

font same for in all project within the body tag.


I love presents. It's not about what is in the package, but unwrapping the surprise and knowing a loved one thought of me when they chose it.
I also love giving gifts. Recently I found a very old package of baseball cards at an estate sale. They were less than five dollars, and I know they will light up my son's face when he opens his stocking on Christmas day.
As Christmas approaches, gift giving is on our minds. We draw names. We plan out the Christmas list. Some of us get up before the sun to find incredible sales.
But as the actual day approaches, there is one gift we can give that is meaningful.
Long before the cross, people labored to find the perfect gift to give Him. They brought sacrifices to honor God, but in Psalm 50:14a we hear a plea: "Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God..." It is a heart plea of a God who desires an intimate relationship with His people.
What could happen if this Christmas we offered Him exactly what is on His list?
I believe it would shift our heart away from our stressful to-do lists to thank Him for all the miracles around us.
God, thank You for my child who is healthy.
Thank You for my husband who loves us all so well.
Thank You for this hot meal prepared by hands of love.
God, have I told You how grateful I am for the warm home and covers to sleep under at night?
As we begin to offer our gifts of thankfulness, like layers of sparkling tissue paper, more is revealed beneath. We dig deeper to see all that we've received.
Thank You, God, that You saw me as a young teen and showed me love.
Thank You for that time at my son's hospital bed that You helped me make it through one more night.
Thank You for the time I needed mercy and found it in Your presence.
Christmas is a celebration of the ultimate gift, but family, finances, or just plain ole stress can cause this special day to dim. Offering up a gift of thankfulness has the power to give those things their rightful place as gratitude rises to the top.
Will you join me between now and December 25th to hold up a daily gift of thanks to Him?
Dear Lord, Christmas often gets lost in all the busyness and details, but for today I will stop and offer you a gift. I am grateful for all the good things You have given. Help me to celebrate this season with a heart of gratitude. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Visit Suzie Eller's blog for "gratitude conversation starters" that will help you begin each day with a gift of thankfulness.
"Thou who hast given so much to me, give me one more thing - a grateful heart!"
If gratitude doesn't come easily, begin to offer up a "sacrifice" of praise (Hebrews 13:15) daily. Let the words of your mouth convince your heart.

FUSIFORM GYRUS: Eggs, Bowls, Lasers and Twitter 0
Etsuj
FUSIFORM GYRUS
Lisson Gallery, London
12 July - 7 September, 2013
Two weeks ago the Lisson Gallery opened the exhibition FUSIFORM GYRUS, curated by Raimundas Malasauskas.
The expectations around this show were extremely electrified after this year's Venice Biennial joint Cypriot and Lithuanian Pavilion, curated by Raimundas Malasauskas, in which the former Sports Palazzo was turned into an architectural maze. This Pavilion was a radical take on curating, both through the selection of the sports hall with it's brutalist and minimalist architecture, and in terms of the sensible presentation of artworks that corresponded to the site, affording the visitor to experience the exhibition from various vantage points. What's more important is that Malasauska's Pavilion offered an unexpected poetic remedy for the dying-out institutional critique of the Venice Biennial, as well as for some of it's exhausted exhibition formats.
What starts in one exhibition or book seeps into another exhibition or public presentation of Malsauska's ouvre.
For FUSIFORM GYRUS at the Lisson Gallery, Raimundas Malasauskas collaborated with fourteen artists, four of whom also collaborated with him in the Venice Biennial this year - Phanos Kyriacou, Elena Narbutaitė, Gintaras Didžiapetris and Liudvikas Buklys.
The title of the exhibition, FUSIFORM GYRUS, refers to the part of the brain that is responsible for face recognition and the mis-recognition processes. The face recognition theme also refers to the early history of the Lisson Gallery itself – specifically, when holograms of Margaret Benyon were displayed in laser light. Here, Malasauskas connects his fascination with no-space and no-time and multiple space and time propositions, which are also mentioned in his book, Paper Exhibitions. Multiplying the vision of the curator with those of the 14 participating artists through their newly commissioned artworks, Malasauskas creates a maze in which it is impossible to find the face of the exhibition, and at the same time, also more than easy. Easy – because each artwork is an anagram of the exhibition title, but difficult – if one treats misreading as an act that cancels out the very act of understanding.

When walking through the gallery's rooms, I felt like at home. Beautiful sculptural objects turned the architecture of the gallery space into a domestic environment, in which each artwork has its own place, as if the objects had always been there. Koenrad Dedobeleer's works oscillated between the familiar and the unfamiliar, leaning more towards the domestic. The soft-colored silkscreen, Machine painters, painting mystical objects (2012), carelessly floats near the wall to which it has been pinned, much like a poster in a bedroom. Some of Dedobeleer's sculptures are functional aesthetic modernist objects, such as lamps and doorknobs (A rude awakening is due, 2012), while other objects react to the gallery's specific space, using the space for resting and smelling, or even for the acts of consuming and interacting – such as the sculpture Old sacrosand academic (2013), which has been outfitted with pistachios for the audience to consume and then throw their shells around the gallery.

The titles of Dedobeleer's domestic-looking pieces did not suggest any connection with the object. Taking the form of seemingly very meaningful, but out-of-context absurd aphorisms and academic rhetoric, they give no apparent explanation about the work itself. Dedobbeleer fools around with our attempts to explain sculpture by using language. The following Dedobeleer's titles: Their honest, lubent little business (2013), A consensus-based, Consumer–driven service (2012), Unaware of the wretchedness of the human condition (2013), Profound Social Transformation (2013), and The key to the world welfare (2013) make a joke of the titles themselves, but also point to the ever-expanding possibility of misreading the title FUSIFORM GYRUS itself – by trying too hard to understand it.
Most of Dedobeleer's objects were containers – some contained pistachios, while others looked as if there was an object inside of them, as in the piece Consisting an actual thing (2010); some consisted of gift-wrapping paper, take–away food, and bookshelves without any books. Dedobeleer's sculptures invited visitors to not just rethink the minimalist and modernist sculptures and their rebirth in multiple variations. What the sculptures also did to the space is that they stressed both the inside and the outside, both in the sculptures and in familiar objects. They played with the idea that what is a private art gallery space can also be looked at as a private space with a sofa, TV and a cleverly-produced bowl of nuts.

Aditya Mandayam, with her Taxi to the Astral Plane (2013), showed a sculpture made from goose eggs placed in porcelain and fabric. The sculpture looked as if it had been unwrapped and was ready to be consumed in the spacecraft. Sculpture being here and now, before our eyes, at the same time marked a longing for the time of future-past.

Miet Warlop's The Big Bad Cold 10', and other performances, brought a live element and an exaggerated theatricality to the exhibition. The performance The View (2013) involved a fully set table with pineapples and porcelain vases on it, while black, live legs appeared below the table, moving and standing together with the table. A living sculpture was formed: a table becoming a person, and a person becoming a table and food.
Elena Narbutaite. Forms Surf Guy I, 2013. Laser. Dimensions variable. Photo: Ken Adlard
In the front gallery, the Lithuanian artist Elena Narbutaitė had installed her laser-sculpture Forms Surf Guy I (2013), which was produced in collaboration with laser engineer Dr. Viktoras Vaičikauskas and a laboratory in Vilnius. It is already her second electricity-based work produced after the Venice Biennial. In Venice she installed the walking-door piece Untitled, 2013, which was so forceful that it even burned a hole in the wall.
In the Lisson Gallery, her sculpture is a laser that Narbutaitė calls "a sculpture of a stretched plane that is hanging in the air". When thinking about lasers, one thinks of light shows, stroboscopes, DVD players, bar-code printers, laser surgery and the war industry. But firstly, the laser is a synthetic invention and a way of designing light. For FUSIMOR GYRUS, Elena Narbutaitė first had an idea which later became a laser design concept, and only then the form itself. This transformation of the idea allows the viewer to observe the laser sculpture in an unusual way – by taking a look at the laser in a calm environment. Here in the art gallery, one can look very closely at the laser and observe it from different angles, slowly. It is a sculpture that cannot be touched, yet it occupies the space and makes its own colour.

One never thinks of lasers as sculptures, nor as a cause of synthetic euphoria, fainting, or blindness. Blindness can be cured, but also induced, by laser. If the laser light is too strong for the eye, it can be the first and last time you look at a laser. Hence the exhibition's title. If you look too long at something, it looses its meaning. You loose the ability and possibility to recognise a face.
Whose face can be recognised after looking at the laser, if the viewer has not yet been blinded? What are the figurative pointers to which the viewing eye could find rest from the maze and loops of thoughts?
Maybe one could take a rest while looking at Malasaukas's face in a hologram, produced in 2007. It is an image of the face of a curator, caught in the hologram and in multiple moments that took place in the past.

Or, maybe one can find relief in Miet Warlop's humorous performances. Or, maybe after the opening, in which we watched the laser-like red and yellow urine-like streams that performers squirted on the walls of the Lisson Gallery's courtyard? If this is the final say, then what was hiding behind the laughter and whispers of Miet Warlop's performers while they were peeing the sculpture and spraying the painting? Possibly, it is once again a wish to fool around, like Dedobeleer did with his witty titles.

In continuation of the puzzle, the exhibition has also added sculptures onto the Internet.
A Twitter feed of quite abstract and guiding sentences concerning FUSIFORM GYRUS was started on 8 July. FUSIFORM GYRUS is a person and an exhibition that says: I am FUSIFORM GYRUS and faces amaze me 11 July/ I am Fusiform and faces are a maze to me 11 July/ Uses of Facial Forms and participants all over the world debated which one was to be called the blind object: inside or outside 12 July/.
Better go inside the exhibition and decide for yourself.

How I became a Health Coach.
It all started with my own journey to back to health. I was overweight, out of shape, exhausted and had some very serious health issues that if I didn't resolve soon would prematurely end my place here on earth.
I struggle with the Dr.'s advice to me, "I am so sorry my advice is get your affairs in order" I was only 41 years old. Are you kidding me? To make matters worse I was going through a tough time with my business and my marriage was ending and my youngest child was still in high school. I kept telling myself there is no way this is going to happen to me and there is a whole lot more to my situation but lets keep this FDA compliant.
Long story short I am thankful for the internet and finding someone like myself with the same health concerns had been told the same thing and she was still around and recommended The Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I thought at the time I would do it for "me".
I was blown away by the amount of education I received and the information I learned. At first I was actually a little angry when I started learning the "TRUTH" about what good nutrition really was. I started evolving and using what I learned on myself and things started getting better the major health issues I had started resolving themselves. I started to feel good, I was looking pretty darn good too. My energy was off the charts.
That is when I decided I would not longer stay in the profession I was in. I dissolved my business and started Health Coaching.

Playlist of the Week: April 18, 2014
Teddy Eisenberg, Staff Reporter
"High Ball Stepper" — Jack White
What can be said about Jack White that hasn't been already? He's a genius, guitar-god and madman all rolled into one, something that "High Ball Stepper" proves in its first thirty seconds. Starting off with a Zeppelin-esque rumble, this instrumental track features cascading lines of piano, guitar riffs looped backward, and a forceful, distorted fuzz. The first single off of "Lazaretto," Jack White's second solo album will drop on June 10.
"Bitter Rivals" — Sleigh Bells
Sleigh Bells certainly know how to make a first impression. Be careful, if you're not ready for it, "Bitter Rivals" will punch you in the face. By summoning a wall of guitar and synth, Sleigh Bells create a unique brand of pop equal parts infectious and bombastic. This duo will hopefully grace Case Western's campus soon as the headliners of next year's fall concert.
"Bridge to Hawaii" — Tacocat
Listen for the group's name, stay for the perky guitar pop and sweet vocal harmonies. An all girl outfit from Seattle, Tacocat imbue "Bridge to Hawaii" with a bubblegum chorus worthy of being anyone's guilty pleasure. They have faith that summer is coming, and we should too.
"West Coast" — Lana Del Rey
Produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, in whose hands everything turns to gold, "West Coast" is easily the best song Lana Del Rey has ever recorded. Her sultry voice floats over a tight bass and guitar line, rising out of the dreamy ether of the song's chorus like a slow puff of cigarette smoke. Look for "Ultraviolence", Del Rey's third record, this summer.
"The World Is Yours" — Nas
"Illmatic" is one of hip-hop's undisputed masterpieces: brief, sophisticated and powerful. "The World Is Yours" finds Nas in top lyrical form, spitting fluid rhymes backed by the sleek jazz-rap production of Pete Rock (also known for his work with Run-D.M.C. and Jay-Z). Originally released in 1994, a 20th Anniversary edition of "Illmatic" entitled "Illmatic XX" found its way into stores last Tuesday.
Retro Pick of the Week:
"I Wanna Be Adored" — The Stone Roses
The Stone Roses eponymous debut won't turn twenty-five until this July, but it's never too early to revisit this Britpop classic. The bass line of "I Wanna Be Adored" lumbers into existence, slowly emerging from clouds of polished guitar. The enchanting power of this tune lies in the detached arrogance of Ian Brown's vocals. The Stone Roses aren't asking to be adored; they expect it.


OpenVPN is an open source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It uses a custom security protocol that utilizes SSL/TLS for key exchange. It is capable of traversing network address translators (NATs) and firewalls. It was written by James Yonan and is published under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
OpenVPN allows peers to authenticate each other using a pre-shared secret key, certificates, or username/password. When used in a multiclient-server configuration , it allows the server to release an authentication certificate for every client, using signature and Certificate authority. It uses the OpenSSL encryption library extensively, as well as the SSLv3/TLSv1 protocol, and contains many security and control features.
The objective of this how-to is to serve as a tutorial for the readers to set up a basic but functional Slackware VPN Server and Client over the Internet.
The emphasis of this tutorial is to provide you with a reliable method that you can easily follow to setup OpenVPN on Slackware Servers and Clients. Nevertheless the process is still not free from pitfalls and require some attention and determination to set up.
This document comprises of a selection of other similar tutorials found on the Internet. In particular the methods described here were extracted from References (2) and (3). However these were cutomised to satisfy the objective.
Openvpn is already installed on Slackware if a default installation was followed. If this was not the case, then it is available from the "n" directory of the Slackware DVD. Refer to other Slackware specific documents on how to go about this installation.
A Server and a Client computers would be needed. They would have to be connected to the Internet on two different Routers and different Network Routes. For the purpose of this tutorial, specific details are defined in order to enhance the readability. Of course, you will probably have a different addresses, so you will need to amend accordingly.
A URL is normally used to address the Server. This is not mandatory and instead you may use only the Internet IP. However I recommend using a URL for the Server, especially if it is connected to a dynamic IP, which is typical for domestic Internet connections. The author is using noip2(4) as it is free upon subscription. Noip2 is available from http://slackbuilds.org.
You will need to have administrator rights to set up the Openvpn. This applies to both the Server and the Client. In this tutorial, it will be assumed that all actions will be performed by the root user.
Use a 3G smart phone's "Portable Wi-Fi Hot Spot" facility to connect the Client as the VPN Client. As 3G bandwidth is expensive you may want to minimise traffic. For example, you might want to switch off services that are not absolutely essential during the course of this exercise, such as ntpd, dropbox and tor.
Connect the Client to another WiFi available in the vicinity of the Server. Some lucky people live in areas were benevolent neighbours provide them with openly accessible Internet WiFi. It is recommended to request permission before taking up this solution. In case that no such open service exists, you may find it appropriate to request a temporary password from a friendly neighbour for the private encrypted WiFi service.
Nowadays, many governmental premises, such as libraries and Local Councils provide free WiFi service. Other places such as fast food outlets, pubs, cafés, etc. also provide free WiFi from their location to their valuable customers. You may access the Server via an available service such as SSH from a WiFi equipped Client. If this option is chosen for this solution, be aware that the Client may have to pass through some firewalls. Besides the VPN connection might be a breach of the terms of conditions that should be accepted before using the WiFi service.
The PKI may be created on any computer with an Openvpn installation, but it is probably more sensible to be done on the Server. In any case, in this tutorial it will be assumed that this is the case.
The easy-rsa scripts referred to in this chapter reside in the /usr/doc/ directory.
It is not recommended to use this directory to create the PKI. This directory may be overwritten by an Openvpn package upgrade, and some files that will be created, should kept secret as otherwise the security of the created VPN would be compromised.
Copy the whole easy-rsa directory to root's home directory.
The purpose of this recommendation is to assure consistency in the default values of some following steps that need to be followed. You should not be really worried about the exact meaning or the correctness of the chosen entries as the actual values will have no bearing on the success or failure of this exercise.
The following is my complete vars file. You may note some additional entries that were entered. Most of these are meant to enhance the range of default values that will be immediately available, thus increasing the chances of a successful creation of the PKI.
Hint: The less information you enter, the less likely it will cause you problems later on.
Do not enter a challenge password or company name when prompted.
On the Server machine copy the sample server.conf onto the openvpn's configuration directory.
Note that comments in server.conf may be either start with # or ; In order to help you with entering parameters, the former are used to comment out text while the latter are for commented out configuration lines.
# Start/stop/restart the openvpn server.
echo "Starting OpenVPN:  /usr/sbin/openvpn server.conf"
You will need to forward traffic from the port you have chosen for Openvpn to be routed to the Server. To accomplish this you will need to provide your Server with a fixed IP and you will need to configure your router. You may use netconfig, wicd or network-manager to set the fixed IP on Slackware. Then you also need to consult the documentation provided with your router to set up the selected IP address reserved for the Server, and the port forwarding. For our default Openvpn set up, the UDP Port would be 1194.
In case if you have misplaced such documentation, you may search on the Internet on how this may be achieved. A good place to start is http://portforward.com/. Astute readers are warned that typical port scanning tools like nmap might not be able to detect your open ports at this stage.
On the client machine perform the following instructions to set it up.
Note that comments in client.conf may be either # or ; The former are used to comment out text while the latter are for commented out configuration lines. This should help you a lot in the configuration process.
# Start/stop/restart the openvpn client.
echo "Starting OpenVPN:  /usr/sbin/openvpn client.conf"
PING 10.8.0.1 (10.8.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
Up to now we have created a tunnel device on both the Server and the Client called tun0 which is visible only to these two machines. However more work is needed to route the Client's connection via tun0 and then to the WAN that is connected to the Server.
IP forwarding is now enabled and will be enabled also after you reboot.
Replace 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 by the Network Route of your Client.
Naturally replace 192.168.200.0 255.255.255.0 with the Server's Network Route, and 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 with the Client's Network Route.
208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 are the OpenDNS IP addresses. Up to now the DNS push configuration has not been successful. You can either use the original Client DNS servers or else you may edit /etc/resolv.conf manually. However it is still worth trying to use the DNS servers listed by the Client, I find that they are generally still be available from the Server's Network, so you would not need to do anything.
On Slackware, such a line may be included in /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall and /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 will run it each time you reboot the Server if the former has executable permissions. You do not have to include anything in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
The exact lines which you need to include depend on whether you already entered your own iptables filter chains and rules, but I will assume that that this is not the case.
If on the other hand you would like a better firewall and you are at least moderately confident with iptables, I propose the following script to be included in your /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall. The comments in the script should help you understand the impact they will have on the Server.
Now you will you need to do is to restart the OpenVPN service on the Server and restart the Client connection.
In the previous chapter we referred to a firewall you may include to protect your Openvpn Server. However this chapter refers to firewalls on the Client LAN that may block the VPN connection by blocking traffic on UDP port 1194.
You also have to modify your Router's port forwarding to TCP port 443.

Israel's long-term rental projects being pushed through a governmental company was supposed to increase the inventory of apartments for rent, and create a regulated alternative for the Israeli rental market, which is dominated by private landlords.
However, it has emerged that one of the first projects being marketed, the Aviv Sheli project in Ramat Hasharon, is struggling. A year after opening, 71 of 281 units remain empty, prompting the company, Apartment for Rent, to market its rentals through membership club Hitech Zone.
Hitech Zone, which targets high-tech employees, is making a special offer to members worth over 14,000 shekels ($3,800). First, they get the first two months free for long-term rentals of four-room apartments with a balcony, which go for 6,200 to 6,900 shekels. They also get a month with no management fee, worth 450 shekels.
The high-rise project includes a 21-story building and three 13-story buildings. Seventy of the 281 units are allocated for people with special eligibility from the Housing and Construction Ministry, who can rent a three-room apartment with a storage room, parking and administrative fees for 3,980 shekels per month. Four-room apartments for eligible renters start at 5,270 shekels per month. Apartments that are not rent-controlled run from 5,000 shekels per month for three-room apartments to 8,900 shekels per month for two-floor, six-room apartments.
Hitech Zone representatives noted it conducted a survey of over 1,500 members before deciding on the partnership. The company found that 25% of respondents prefer to live in one of the cities in the Sharon region, with Petah Tikva coming in second place with 15.3%. According to the survey, 14.7% are interested in living in Rehovot, Nes Ziona, Yavne and the environs, while 11.7% want to live in Pardes Hanna, Zichron Yaakov and those environs.

Siel Novokovski, VP of business development for Hitech Zone, said the club has 250,000 members from 520 different high-tech companies. "This project is the only one in the area that is tailor made for way high-tech workers are employed and the frequency of their moves between jobs," he said. He explained that the long-term rental model gives tenants the flexibility they need because it allows them to commit for one year but also to know what the rent will be for the next decade if they decide to continue renting.
Aviv commented: "72 apartments remained for rent and we estimate that we will have 90% capacity by summer's end."

Over two million people of working age in Australia have disability"
Fit for all communications
Communication plays a fundamental role in all aspects of business and has a powerful role to play in influencing public perception. It positions brands, helps with managing relationships, supports effective team building, enables innovation and contributes to organisational growth. Ensuring communications and marketing activity is accessible to as many people as possible is essential in creating an inclusive workplace.
Life Without Barriers is a leading social purpose organisation that supports children, young people and families, people with disability, older people and people with mental illness, to live their best life and participate fully in the community. Inclusive communications and marketing messages are part of their core business practice.
Fiona Davies, National Manager Diversity and Inclusion, Margaret McKeown, National Manager External Relations and Damien Long, National Manager Marketing and Communications, share some of their initiatives and discuss their experience of participating in the 2016 Access and Inclusion Index.
"We have an AIEP — or Accessibility, Inclusion and Employment Plan. It was developed with advice and guidance from the Australian Network on Disability (AND) as well as consultation with our Disability Services Advisory Council and broad collaboration with our staff, board members, customers and engagement with other stakeholders outside the organisation. Our AIEP is led by our Chief Executive Officer. The plan informs our activity across the business," said Fiona. "Having buy in from our staff and senior leadership is something that's really important," she added.
"The AIEP was one of the first documents I read when I started working here," said Margaret. "It helped set the tone for what I thought about disability and what it actually meant. It made me think about wording and how we communicate our messages. It's about gaining community acceptance by sharing and telling the stories of people with disability."
For good practice in the area of communications and marketing, it is also vital to develop accessible digital materials that can be read by people using screen reading and magnification software. This includes ensuring adherence to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) AA standard, and reviewing electronic documents for best practice accessibility and easy English.
"It's a constant challenge to ensure that all our communications and marketing materials are accessible and inclusive. My team is experienced in this and we're starting to train others to do the same," said Damien. "The checklists that we have as actions within the AIEP help to ensure we use the right fonts, language and add the correct structure to the material."
Taking part in the Access and Inclusion Index has helped Life without Barriers to take stock of their progress in creating an inclusive organisation.
"We see it as a guide to how we're performing. It shows where we're at and identifies gaps. In some areas we have performed well, but there's plenty of room for improvement," said Fiona.
"It's measurable. There are real figures and real data to work from. I think it will be a powerful tool to help us move forward. We don't see diversity and inclusion as a one-off event. It's part of our business; it's what we do and we're including it across all of our areas," she added.


The LINE DC recently opened it's doors to the public, bringing new hotel rooms, restaurants and even a radio station to the Adams Morgan neighborhood. The owners, Sydell Group, have similar hotel concepts in Los Angeles and Austin, Texas, but every detail of the hotel is meant to make locals feel at home -- and introduce visitors to D.C. Built inside a stone-pillared, former church originally constructed in 1912, the interior now shows off sleek wood floors and furnishings decorated with pieces from local artists.

'Easter So White' campaign looks to draw attention to lack of BAME diversity in advertising
By Rebecca Stewart-13 April 2017 13:17pm
Diversity is not just for Christmas – that's the message behind 'Easter So White', the latest campaign from a group of creatives looking to find a solution to the under-representation of the Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities in advertising.
In the same vain as last year's 'Christmas So White' initiative, the latest project aims to counter the "cultural white-wash" often presented in imagery around Easter.
Kickstarted by a team of creatives, the So White Project looks to normalise diverse imagery through real life photography. As part of its Easter campaign it has teamed up with Getty to make available a series of royalty free images for brands to use in their own ads.
The images were captured by photographer Helen Marsden and include shots of Easter egg hunts and egg painting as well as drawing attention to other culture's Easter traditions.
The inspiration to include other cultural traditions occurred when Selma Nicholls, one of the So White Project founders, revealed Easter Egg hunts are not a typical tradition for her, explaining she would instead visit family and friends whilst eating bun and cheese and fried fish; both Caribbean Easter traditions.
Models for the campaign were supplied by Nicholls' agency Looks Like Me, which seeks to raise the profile of underrepresented groups.
Using the hashtag #EasterSoWhite, users on social media will be driven to the So White Project hub, while a partnership with Exterion and Primesight will enable the imagery to be featured in OOH locations throughout the UK.
'Easter So White' has been backed by a roster of ten brands, platforms and agencies including: MediaCom; Google; Above+Beyond; AnalogFolk; BBH, DigitasLBi; Dentsu Aegis Network; New Look; Saatchi & Saatchi and Sunshine.
Nadya Powell, one of the co-founders of the scheme said: "With 'Easter So White' it was important to build on the diversity message we established at Christmas so including diverse cultural traditions was a really exciting next step.
"It doesn't end here and for #SummerSowhite we are having exciting conversations with diversity organisations to represent the full wonderful diversity of the UK. There is no element of diversity we won't represent," she finished.
"As communicators, we should know better than anyone that the images we are exposed to, and the stories that businesses tell create the lens through which we all see the world," said Matt Law, chief operating officer at AnalogFolk.
"We are glad to have had the opportunity to support the #EasterSoWhite campaign and make a small step to creating a culture more representative of everyone in it."

A History of Ancient Bankruptcy Laws
Ancient History (photo by Marilyn Swanson)
Etymology of the word "Bankrupt"
According to the 1899 treatise linked below, the word "bankrupt" comes from the ancient days of Florence, Italy, when that city "occupied a prominent place among the commercial cities of the world."
The word "bankrupt" arises from the Latin words, "banca rotta," which mean "broken bench" or "broken counter." A creditor's custom, for a debt-delinquent merchant in ancient Florence, is to break the merchant's bench or counter.
The British later adopt this phrase in its own debtor/creditor laws but anglicized it like this:
–insert "bank" for "banca"; and
–replac "rotta" with "rupt," which means "broken" ("rupture" is a derivative).
Hence, the word, "bankrupt."
Ancient Bankruptcy History
Centuries before the rise of Rome, creditor/debtor remedies are harsh. The Draconian code, for example, "permitted creditors to dismember the body of their debtor."
Ouch!!
As Rome rises to predominance, however, creditor/debtor laws improve.
–In Caesar's time, the "distinguishing feature of modern bankruptcy" begins:
"the debtor who surrendered all of his goods to his creditors was relieved of the harsh penalties of the older systems."
–And, over subsequent time, such penalties "were further mitigated by discharging him of his obligations."
England Bankruptcy History
The first English law on debtor/creditor issues (enacted in 1542) is, essentially, a penal statute:
–"Debtors who fled the kingdom or concealed themselves were made criminals, and their effects were seized and distributed among their creditors without extinguishing their obligations."
–These provisions applied "to all who 'craftily obtaining into their hands great substance of other men's goods, do suddenly flee to parts unknown, or keep their houses, not minding to pay, or return to pay, but at their own wills and pleasures consume the substance obtained by credit from other men for their own pleasure and delicate living, against all reason, equity and good conscience.'"
The term "acts of bankruptcy" is first found in The Charitable Uses Act of 1601 (a/k/a the Statute of Elizabeth). Such "acts" allow a commission to seize and distribute a bankrupt's property.
Upon enactment of the Statute of Anne in 1706, bankruptcy becomes a civil matter, instead of a statutory crime.
–A debtor can now surrender all his property to a commission and receive a "discharge" of "his person" and of "any property that he might subsequently acquire" from all existing debts.
The treatise linked below explains that this "humane enactment" of 1706, which is "followed in all subsequent legislation on the subject," has a two-fold object:
"(1) To dedicate the property of an insolvent debtor to the ratable payment of his debts"; and
"(2) to grant him a discharge from his existing obligations, to the end that he may be restored to the activities of life, freed from the burdens visited upon him by previous misfortunes in business."
The 1899 treatise adds this opinion on such two-fold object of the 1706 law:
"It may be justly remarked that there is nothing more to be accomplished by any law on the [bankruptcy] subject; all other provisions are matters of detail more or less effectively designed to accomplish these ends."

Reading the Sunday Express on the way back to the UK
by Martin Belam, 31 July 2006
In preparation for my stint in the UK I 'treated' myself to a Sunday newspaper at Athens airport yesterday, although the choice was limited to the Sunday Express, and it got me all excited about seeing British newspapers once again every day.
Where else but the British press could you get such great things as a front page splash "Bitter end for Pan's People" leading to a three page article about how the BBC had agonisingly snubbed the ex-Top of the Pops dancers, that finishes with a plug for the BBC2 documentary about the girls showing that day?
Meanwhile The Sunday Express is quite rightly dead-set against the government having huge databases of people and things, and was in a particularly vexed mode about a threatened new 'stealth' tax on peoples houses backed up by a database of the details of every property in the UK. Mind you, I wasn't sure how taxing you on something as conspicuous as your house could be described as 'stealth'. I was especially intrigued though about the type of technology the government are using:
And, in a dark twist, a second database called Oracle Nine has been set up to store unlimited digital images capturing our properties from every angle.
Bloody Oracle and their unlimited database capabilities. This Oracle Nine monster they have unleashed sounds worse than Hal 9000. Although, personally I'd have been more furious about the claim that the government has 'invested £438,749 on 2,126 digital cameras to allow an army of home inspectors to snap more shots'. Can't they just use Google Earth to spy on the neighbours' property like everyone else?
My favourite story in the newspaper was, though, without doubt, "Thieves gallery ordered down" by Paul Vass. It was the story of a shopkeeper who had displayed CCTV pictures of shoplifters caught in the act being 'ordered' to take them down by the police because of the human rights act. It was a classic of the genre of my favourite type of tabloid journalism. The formula runs like this:
Something terrible has happened which is shocking and bad and undermines Britain and we don't agree with it
A pithy quote from the victim - in this case the soundbite-tastic: "I'm being told that the criminal is the victim and I, the victim, am the criminal" but usually "it is political correctness gone mad"
Final paragraph - oh, actually nothing like this really happened at all - we've just put a lot of spin on events.
Reductio ad absurdum is a classic bit of logical debating style, but these kind of articles simply reduce themselves to absurdity if you just read the opening and closing paragraphs one after the other:
A shopkeeper who put up "wanted" posters of thieves stealing from his store has been ordered to take them down because they infringed the criminals' human rights.
Yesterday a spokesman for Dorset Police said: "No formal advice has been issued on the subject of shops displaying CCTV images of suspected offenders. It is a matter for individual shop proprietors to decide."
Far from being ordered to take the pictures down, it seems that one police officer advised him that the people in the pictures might try to sue him. It caught my eye particularly as if you fast-forward 23 pages in the same edition there is a story about the police themselves in Burnley giving out packs of cards featuring the mugshots of the areas most wanted burglary suspects. No fear of the human rights act for these plucky police!
Elsewhere in the paper I noticed they had section entitled "Did you know?" by Mitchell Symons. This caught my eye as it trotted out last year's top ten favourite paintings in Britain Radio 4 poll results. It also had a section headed:
Tuesday sees the start of National Road Victim Month. Here are some celebs who died in road accidents.
You'll never guess whose picture they used to illustrate the article...

Colwell: Trump just might win this presidential race
Jack Colwell
Donald Trump is in a tight presidential race. Although I usually avoid political predictions, I will say that Trump has a very good chance to win this race.
He will defeat Andrew Johnson and even long-time favorite James Buchanan.
Look, I'm not predicting the 2024 presidential race. Wouldn't try. Too uncertain. Too early. Too risky. Trump could become the first president since Grover Cleveland to come back from defeat as the incumbent president to win another term.
I'm talking about the presidential RANKING race.
Of our 45 presidents so far, where will historians and presidential scholars place Trump?
More on Trump:Colwell: A very special Christmas gift for Trump supporters
He has a suggestion. In his recent sales pitch for Trump trading cards that portray him as a superhero, Trump said he was "hopefully your favorite president of all time, better than Lincoln, better than Washington."
Evaluations of our presidents long have placed Lincoln and Washington as, respectively, No. 1 and No. 2 in greatness. Trump displacing either would be kind of like me replacing Aaron Judge in the Yankee lineup or topping Taylor Swift in concert ticket sales.
But Trump is in a race in ratings of our presidents. A survey by presidential historians in 2021, finding Lincoln and Washington at the top, ranked Trump fourth − fourth in the ranking of the worst.
He was ahead of Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan, who traditionally fares the worst because of his terrible leadership in fumbling away chances to stave off the Civil War.
In another survey by political scientists and presidential scholars in 2022, Trump finished higher in the listing than Pierce but third worst, behind Buchanan, who was edged out as worst by Johnson, who did such a deplorable job as president after Lincoln's assassination.
These surveys consider such things as crisis management, moral authority, administrative skills, international relations and relations with Congress.
That's why Trump doesn't do so well.
These lists don't remain static. Presidents lacking high esteem as they leave office sometimes move up high as historians look back at what actually happened during their presidencies. Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman are examples. Eisenhower, brushed off as more of a caretaker president as he left office, was No. 5 in that 2021 survey. Truman, with horrible ratings as he left office, was No.6.
Sometimes as historians look back after more decades of research and examination of the circumstances of the times, they drop a president lower in the rankings. Andrew Jackson, now down to 22nd on that list, is an example of that.
Listings of some recent presidents: Ronald Reagan, 9; Barack Obama, 10; Bill Clinton, 19; George H.W. Bush, 21; Jimmy Carter, 26; George W. Bush, 29.
Rating of President Joe Biden after half a term, good or bad at the start, doesn't mean a lot in terms of how history will regard him decades hence.
The reason Trump can overtake Johnson and Buchanan for last place is that historians will have access to more disclosures about Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results through examination of documents, court testimony and new disclosures by figures in the Trump administration.
His crisis handling will be a big factor. Anyone want a couple shots of bleach? Moral authority looms as his biggest problem. Administrative skills are being detailed in book after book. And historians will continue to look at his relations with other nations and with Congress.
Accomplishments he cites will be viewed more as achievements by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who skillfully handled court nominations, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who pushed through tax cuts without much help from Trump. And Trump broke with both of them.
There's no way Trump could move higher to catch Millard Fillmore, Herbert Hoover or Richard Nixon. But he could drop below Johnson and Buchanan, who never sought an insurrection to keep power in a banana republic sort of way.

Ruble Slowly Strengthens Due to Rising Oil Prices and Minsk Talks
A man walks under a board displaying currency exchange rates in Moscow.
The ruble was stronger on Friday and Russian shares rose, helped by a peace agreement to end the war in Ukraine and a rise in oil prices to over $60 per barrel.
The reaction of the ruble was relatively muted, however, reflecting the impact of a large foreign debt repayment by oil company Rosneft, and doubts about how soon Western sanctions against Russia will be lifted given continuing obstacles to peace in Ukraine.
By the end of trading on Friday, the ruble was 2.64 percent stronger against the dollar at 63.58 and 2.76 percent stronger at 74.03 versus the euro.
Russia's dollar-denominated RTS stock index was up 6 percent at 914 points, while the ruble-based MICEX was 1.96 percent higher at 1,838 points.
"Russian shares and bonds have shown a decent rally, but the currency market has reacted cooly," ING economist Dmitry Polevoy said in a note, adding that the ruble's muted reaction may be linked to a large foreign debt repayment by oil company Rosneft.
Rosneft said on Thursday it had repaid a $7 billion loan and denied it had converted rubles to fund the repayment. However, Polevoy said that the resulting outflow of foreign currency from banks was fueling demand for dollars indirectly.
Some analysts said that the ruble's cool reaction showed doubts about how soon Western sanctions against Russia will be lifted — the main way in which developments in Ukraine impact Russia's financial markets.
Commenting on Thursday's agreement, reached after marathon overnight talks in Minsk, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said it "offered a glimmer of hope, nothing more, nothing less."
"It's obvious that investors, gradually thinking about the Minsk agreements on Ukraine, have come to the conclusion that one shouldn't count on a rapid lifting of sanctions," Sergei Kozlovsky, head analyst at Grand Capital, said in a note.
Analysts at Sberbank Investment Research said that the peace deal "represents tangible progress," but "the design of a credible roadmap for peace and its successful implementation are still lacking."
However, many analysts saw good prospects for the ruble and other Russian assets to continue strengthening, also helped by a rebound in the oil price.
On Friday morning Brent crude rose over $60 a barrel for the first time since December, up over 1 percent on the day. Oil is a key driver for all Russian assets since it is the country's chief export.
Brent has gained over 4 percent this week, supported by signs that deeper industry spending cuts may curb excess supply.

Tête Boeuf Satellite image of Tête Boeuf as an overlay in Google Earth.
Morne Tête Boeuf is a narrow, east-west oriented ridge in the southern part of the Tiburon Peninsula, north of Saint-Louis du Sud. It rises to 1370 meters in elevation at its highest point, and 3809 hectares of land are above 800 meters (1231 hectares above 1000 meters). Original cloud forest still exists along the high ridge, but trees are actively being destroyed. On a brief one-day visit in 2012 by helicopter, a team of biologists found a diversity of vertebrates including 13 species of frogs, 4 species of reptiles, and 8 species of birds. Bad weather was a factor in the low bird numbers. Among the frogs were two new species unique to the mountain. Tête Boeuf is unprotected.

Is There a Link Between Heart Disease and PTSD?
More and more often I see scenarios where a veteran with a service connection for PTSD years later has a heart attack or a stroke. When he tries to get a service connection for the heart attack or stroke, the VA denies his claim. A related situation is where a veteran who is service-connected for PTSD suffers a heart attack or stroke and dies. His widow then files a claim for service-connection for the cause of death, but VA denies her claim as well.
A common fact pattern with these situations is the total absence of any symptoms of heart disease during service or for many years after they were in the military. Any veterans disability lawyer will tell you that the VA uses the lack of documentation in the service treatment records and the number of years before symptoms appear as justification to deny a VA appeal. When VA denies a claim, these two factors are - 9 times out of 10 - cited as a basis for rejecting the claim.
It would help many veterans and their widows if there was a way to link heart and service connected PTSD. However, the challenge is answering the question, "What evidence exists that establishes a secondary relationship between PTSD and heart disease or stroke?"
We now have the evidence to answer this question. But before diving into the evidence, let's first address what PTSD does inside the human body. When you have a PTSD episode, there is a sudden release of catecholamines from the adrenal glands in response to the perceived threat. This is essentially the fight or flight response and Catecholamine release results in a transient but significant increase in pulse, sweating, glucose, and blood pressure.
This spike in blood pressure can be enough to burst the wall of the artery –depending on arterial condition, the presence of a clot, an arterial aneurysm, or arteriovenous malformation. So, if there is arterial wall damage or a clot, you are at risk for a stroke.
But how does this arterial wall damage or clot take place in a veteran with PTSD? Researchers have explained that PTSD results in inflammation and lipid changes that lead to arterial wall damage. Moreover, physicians also know that PTSD is associated with platelet dysfunction which can contribute to the formation of a clot. In a study that demonstrates the link between PTSD and heart disease, the researchers state,"Cardiovascular alterations associated with autonomic arousal and cardiovascular health outcomes have long been reported to be associated with PTSD or wartime traumatic exposure Persons suffering from PTSD and chronic PTSD have been shown to have increases in basal heart rate and blood pressure and increased heart rate and blood pressure in response to stimuli such as loud sounds and visual slides that remind them of the trauma."
The bottom line is that we now know that PTSD which is considered a psychiatric problem contributes to physical problems including heart disease and stroke. For instance, in a study that included 32 Vietnam veterans with combat-related PTSD and 26 Vietnam era veterans without combat exposure found that those with the combat-related PTSD had significantly higher heart rates. Elevated blood pressure is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease, according to the scientific literature. So, as one study observed, the link between PTSD and hypertension may explain the reported associations between PTSD and heart disease. (See McFarlane, AC. World Psychiatry 2010 Feb; 9(1):3-10.)
Therefore, if you are service-connected for PTSD and develop heart disease or have a stroke, the scientific evidence supports a secondary relationship between the PTSD and the cardiovascular event. If you are a widow and VA has denied your claim for DIC, you may also be able to link a terminal heart attack or stroke to your husband's service-connected PTSD.
The VA is notorious for denying physical disability claims that result from psychiatric conditions. To an uninformed observer, the connection between the mental and physical may not be apparent. But as a veterans disability attorney with many years of experience, I can recount many cases where we established a link between a service-connected psychiatric disability and a physical disability.
For example, I represented a widow whose husband was service-connected for PTSD. He suffered a gastric hemorrhage and died. She filed her DIC claim, trying to service-connect the cause of the veteran's death. The VA denied the claim repeatedly for almost 10 years. She finally retained our veterans benefits law firm to represent her. We successfully got her claim remanded from the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. On remand we obtained an expert medical opinion that conceded that there was no known linkage between the PTSD and the gastric incident. But, we discovered that the veteran was taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication ("NSAID") along with an SSRI medication. The SSRI is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. The VA had prescribed the SSRI to treat the PTSD. It's a psychiatric medication.
We further learned through our investigation that combining an SSRI with an NSAID increased one's risk for a gastric hemorrhage. In other words, the two classes of medications work together to cause an increased risk of gastric hemorrhage. Our medical expert explained this concept thoroughly. As a result, the Board granted service-connection for the cause of death. So, it is clear that PTSD can cause many other physical health problems, and you should undertake a thorough investigation of the possible link between service-connected PTSD and any other medical issues.
Admittedly, winning some of these cases requires top-notch medical experts. Such experts are hard to find if you are trying to handle your case on your own. So, if you are trying to win a secondary service connection claim, it is wise to hire a veterans disability lawyer who has built relationships with experts on the medical issues of veterans.
