08 February 2000 --
Dr Ng Min Ching
The human body requires lipids (fats) in its daily functions. Most of these lipids are derived from or contain fatty acids. Fatty acids are either ingested or produced by the body itself. Omega-3 fatty acids are certain types of fatty acids that are not readily produced by the body and therefore need to be obtained from the diet.
Examples of omega-3 fatty acids are EPA (eicosapentanoeic acid) and DHA (docosahexanoeic acid).
Dietary Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Cold water fish such as sardines, tuna, mackerel, herring, salmon and cod are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. For example, there are 3.3 grams of omega-3 in three ounces of sardines and 2.5 grams in the same amount of mackerel.
These acids are also found in wild animals. Domesticated livestock is a poor dietary supply.
Rich plant sources include flaxseed, canola and certain marine algae.
How much is enough
International Food Nutrition Organisation's Daily Recommended Values for Omega-3 Fatty Acids (DHA and EPA)
Food Nutrition Organisation Daily Recommended Values for Adults
COMA (UK's Committee on Medical
Aspects of Food Policy) 200 mg of DHA/EPA
NATO (North American Treaty
Organisation) Workshop on
Omega-3/Omega-6 Fatty Acids 800 mg of DHA/EPA
British Nutrition Foundation 1000-2000 mg of DHA/EPA
Health and Welfare, Canada
Scientific Review Committee 1000-1800 mg of DHA/EPA
Norway National Nutrition Council 1000-2000 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids
Denmark/Finland Ministry of Health 1000-2000 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids
Food Nutrition Organisation Daily Recommended Values for Infants
WHO (World Health Organisation)
and the FAO ( FOOD and Agriculture
Organisation of the United Nations) 40 mg of DHA per kg body weight
ISSFAL (International Society for the
Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids) 35-75 mg of DHA per kg body weight
Most Singaporeans, especially pregnant females and breastfeeding mothers, do not consume adequate amounts of dietary omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements are thus required.
What does Scientific Research say about Omega-3 Fatty Acids
1) Growth and Development of the Human Brain
It is said that the human brain tripled in size over three million years. How did it occur? One key theory proposes that this was possible due to the increased ingestion of food rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Primitive man had a predominantly vegetarian diet. As they foraged for more food, fish and other meat rich in omega-3 fatty acids were added to their diet, resulting in the rapid advancement of evolution and progress.
In experiments, animals fed omega-3 fatty acids learn and perform better than those fed other fatty acids that have to be converted in the body to omega-3 fatty acids.
Modern man generally consumes much less of these essential fatty acids compared to his ancient ancestors. Hence, there are suggestions that we should increase the amount of omega-3 fatty acids ingested.
It has been proven scientifically that the proper development of the brain and retina of the foetus and the infant depends on an adequate supply of omega-3 fatty acids. Breast milk contains significant levels of DHA. In one study, infants who were breastfed had better neurological development and eyesight than those who were bottle-fed on milk with no DHA. Therefore, if bottle-feeding a baby, it is desirable to buy infant formulas that are supplemented with DHA.
Clinical research has provided evidence that an adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids is important during pregnancy, lactation and infancy.
A recent study published in 1997 raised the possibility that a diet high in fish (high in omega-3 fatty acids) may improve cognitive function in elderly men. More studies need to be done to prove this issue conclusively.
2) Cardiovascular Protection
The Eskimos of Greenland consume large quantities of fish and cholesterol-rich seals. Yet, they have a very low rate of cardiovascular death. This has prompted scientists to speculate and subsequently prove that fish oil, which is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, has a protective effect on the heart.
Scientists reported that at least one fish meal a week is associated with a 52 percent lower risk of sudden cardiac death. Consumption of two fish meals weekly is associated with a 65 percent reduction in risk of heart diseases.
Besides lowering blood triglyceride (a specific type of fat) level, the ingestion of DHA significantly decreased the total cholesterol : HDL cholesterol ratio and the LDL cholesterol : HDL cholesterol ratio in the blood.
DPA and EPA from fish oil also reduced blood clotting by an average of 25% and DHA has been found to be effective in reducing the development of high blood pressure and the incidence of irregular heart rate.
These actions of omega-3 fatty acids not only reduce the risk of heart attacks, they lower the chances of having a stroke as well.
The scientific investigations have indicated that DHA was more effective than EPA in conferring cardiovascular protection.
3) Immune and Inflammatory Diseases
The immune system in the human body sometimes goes awry and attacks its own body. This leads to autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerativie colitis and Crohn's disease.
These diseases may require steroids that have accompanying side effects like peptic ulcer, osteoporosis, increased susceptibility to infections, high blood pressure and diabetes. Hence, if omega-3 fatty acids can be found to have a therapeutic effect on these illnesses, patients may be spared the side-effects of steroids and other medications.
So far, studies have shown that the consumption of two or more servings per week of fish high in DHA is associated with a decreased risk or reduced severity of rheumatoid arthritis.
Other clinical trials also reported a beneficial effect of omega-3 fatty acids in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.
4) Depression and Aggression
It has been demonstrated that increased risk of depression, aggression and suicide is associated with low concentrations of omega-3 fatty acid in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid.
Consistently, the incidence of depression and violence appear to be lower in countries where the populations consume more fish (e.g. Japan, Korea) compared to those where less fish is eaten (e.g. United States, France).
Of course, cultural and other epidemiological factors cannot be discounted in the prevalence of depression and violence in these countries. However, it does appear that omega-3 fatty acids do have a role to play in the occurrence of such behaviour.
5) Cancer
A study done among a population of South African West Coast fishing villagers has suggested that their low rate of colorectal (large intestine and rectum) cancer may be explained by the protective effects of omega-3 fatty acids.
There is cause for optimism in this aspect but more studies need to be done.
6) Children with Recurrent Respiratory Infections
Children with atopic eczema who were given omega-3 and omega-6 supplements were found to have fewer episodes of recurrent respiratory infections.
Again, this finding requires more clinical trials for greater validity.

Q: How to send response to client if id could not find in mongo collection? I am working on user authentication when user hit the application and is not part of user management collection i want to send user id to client so he can request access. we are getting user information using csp cookies.
So in below code if User schema could not find useruid i want to send that information to client so user can use in request access form.with below code its throwing 404 when schema don't find useruid. Any idea how to resolve this issue ?
user.controller.js
   function handleEntityNotFound(res) {
  return function(entity) {
    if (!entity) {
      res.status(404).end();
      return null;
    }
    return entity;
  };
}

    exports.current = function(req, res) {
      // console.log('username', req);
      User.findById(req.useruid)
          .populate({path: 'groups', select: '_id name', options: {sort: {name: 1}}})
      .execAsync()
    .then(handleEntityNotFound(res))
    .then(responseWithResult(res))
    .catch(handleError(res));
};

A: If there's no match, findById() returns [].
Try:
 exports.current = function(req, res) {
        User.findById(req.useruid, function (err, results) {
            if (err) {
                console.log(err);
            }
            if (results.length) {
                responseWithResult(res);
            } else {
                handleEntityNotFound(res);
            }
        });

Q: Can the preprocessor capitalize letters in a given symbol and output that as a new symbol? I'm wondering if the preprocessor (specifically the one shipped in Xcode's LLVM) is able to do something like this:
#define CAPS_SYMBOL(x) ...

where this preprocessor statement in code:
int CAPS_SYMBOL(lala) = 1;

would output the following valid compilable code:
int Lala = 1;

The end goal of what I want to do is to make a macro that does this, given that some mechanism for CAPS_SYMBOL exists:
#define MAKE_WEAK_VAR(x) __weak __typeof(x) weak ## CAPS_SYMBOL(x) = x

Is this possible? If so, how does one do it?

A: No, the preprocessor can not capitalize tokens. But you could define
#define MAKE_WEAK_VAR(x) __weak __typeof(x) weak ## x = x

instead. Then for example
MAKE_WEAK_VAR(self);

expands to
__weak __typeof(self) weakself = self;

Arty Fact
He had a daddy complex, and his most documented relationships and subjects of his sonnets were Tommaso Cavalieri, who was 23 when Michelangelo met him at 57, and Vittoria Colonna, 17 years his jumior.
The notoriously difficult Michelangelo made enemies of a number of his contemporaries, including Bramante, Raphael, and Leonardo da Vinci.
Raphael modeled Heraclitus in The School of Athens after Michelangelo, casting the artist as a pre-Socratic philosopher who was known for his bad temper and resentment toward his rivals.
Michelangelo believed painting was inferior to sculpture. He once wrote, "The more painting resembles sculpture, the better I like it, and the more sculpture resembles painting, the worse I like it."
Michelangelo often joked that the vocation of sculptor was transferred to him via the breast milk of his wet nurse, who was married to a stone cutter.

Michelangelo did pretty well considering his father did not want him to become an artist, and tried to beat the idea out of him with a stick.
Pope Julius II also beat Michelangelo with a stick. When he asked Michelangelo, "When will you finish the Sistine chapel?", Michelangelo chieekily replaid, "When I can." Julius then whacked him and repeated "When I can, when I can!" (whack, whack).
Michelangelo was very gay, and tormented by it. He had a habit of painting nude young boys into scenes where they had no business, and scenes with piles of naked men for no obvious reason. You'd ask the guy,"Paint me a battle scene", and he'd paint the soldiers bathing before being attacked. (This really happened, look it up). He wrote passionate love letters to his male love interests, and poems about his longing for them, as well as less sexy poems beating himself up for being a sinner. It is not clear if he actually acted on his homosexual desire, other than through art. He believed chastity was good for your health and lived to age 88 during a time when the average life span was only 35! Not sure if that's a worthwhile trade-off.
He loved sculpture and hated painting, even though he was one of the greatest painters of all time. He said "the more painting resembles sculpture, the more I like it, and the more sculpture resembles painting, the less I like it". However he admitted that he was able to do more than just sculpt, and once said "Believe it or not, I can actually draw." He hated religious artworks, which he thought were "only suitable for very old or very young women," and landscape painting, which he thought was "a game for children and uneducated men." The sassy Sistine-painter also hated Raphael for jacking his style.

Michelangelo, the iconic artist and Ninja Turtle, was the Regina George of his day.
The epitome of the Renaissance artist– sculptor, architect, painter, poet, jack-of-all-trades, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni–was born on March 6, 1475 to a family of minor nobility in Florence. He began his career relatively late at 13, apprenticed to Domenico Ghirlandaio. He blended Classical antiquity with Florentine tradition, and is perhaps best known for his expressive faces as well as his nudes that displayed his deep understanding of the male anatomy. Florence was politically unstable at the time, so Michelangelo was a nomad, moving from Bologna to Rome back to Florence and then back to Rome.
His big break was his Pietà, commissioned by Cardinal Jean de Bilhères shortly after he arrived in Rome, featuring a youthful Virgin Mary with thighs thick enough to rival the Kardashians (and support the weight of the crucified Christ). Soon after he returned to Florence to create another one of his iconic pieces, David. Originally meant for the roof of the Florence Cathedral, the statue was so well-recieved that it was placed instead in the public square in front of the Palazzo Vecchio, in the Piazza della Signoria.
After its completion, he was given a commission for Battle of Cascina for the Palazzo Vecchio, showcasing his command of anatomy, opposite Leonardo da Vinci's Battle of Anghiara, beginning a feud between the two artists. Like any good rivalry, they took it to the streets, with Michelangelo taunting Leonardo for not completing a horse statue in Milan. Leonardo took a more passive approach, leaving for France once he couldn't take Michelangelo's bullying and delivering first-degree burns insulting the "wooden" qualities of Michelangelo's painting...in his diary.
A continuous patron in his later years was the papacy, especially Pope Julius, who commissioned his next and perhaps best known work–the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes including the Creation of Adam and the Last Judgement. Michelangelo was less thrilled about the commission, believing that it was a plot between his rivals Raphael and Bramante to divert him from sculpting into a medium where they thought he would be less successful. Vasari, the first art historian and author of the Renaissance burn book "The Lives of the Artists," attributed the success of the frescoes to the envy of Michelangelo's contemporaries. He described Michelangelo's genius saying, "He who bears the palm of both the living and the dead, transcending and eclipsing all others, is the divine Michelangelo Buonarroti, who holds sovereignty of not merely one of these arts, but of all three altogether," and beating his competition with a "crisis of perfection".
If Michelangelo was the Regina George and Vasari the Gretchen Weiners stroking his ever-growing ego, Sebastiano Luciani was the Karen Smith of the Renaissance. Michelangelo hated painting, especially oil. He called it "false and artificial," dubbing it the medium of the laziest artists. However, after the Sistine chapel ceiling frescoes, there came a new pope, Leo X, who preferred Raphael's painting. Michelangelo refused to paint, but could not let go of his competitive nature, and so hired young Venetian painter Sebastiano Luciani to do it for him.
Besides the visual arts, Michelangelo was also gifted in sonnets, the rhyme scheme of love. (And sometimes agony in the case of the sonnet he wrote about the pain he endured in the creation of the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes.) There were two main muses who inspired his prose, Tommaso Cavaleri, a young Roman aristocrat, and Vittoria Colonna, a pious widow.
Middle-aged Michelangelo's love for twenty-something Tommaso transcended pen and paper, and he is thought to have inspired his drawings of Ganymede and Tityos. Ganymede, a beautiful boy captured by Jupiter to become one of his cupbearers, embodied spiritual love, while Tityos, a giant caught trying to seduce Latona (mother of Apollo and Diana) and punished by being chained to a rock and having his intestines repeatedly eaten out, embodied carnal. It is unclear whether Michelangelo and Tommaso's relationship was platonic or sexual, as there is speculation that Michelangelo was homosexual (a trait perhaps present in his passion for depicting nude male bodies).
His love for Vittoria was the complete opposite. She was also younger than the artist, but she wore the pants in the relationship. Although she was devout and ascetic, she was also self-assured and charismatic due to her aristocratic upbringing and her establishment in the intellectual circles of Ischia and Naples. She was a poet herself, mostly of spiritual poetry, and heavily involved with the reform movement. She often wrote of reform doctrine and was known for her piety and virtue. She thought highly of Michelangelo's work, but in her mind, Jesus was higher. She just wasn't that into him and in her last letter, she responded that she had not replied to all of his letters due to her duties at the convent and that he should be less neglectful of his to the pope.
His last project was St. Peter's Basilica. The project was originally given to Bramante, but with the upheaval of the papacy, money was short and production was halted. Michelangelo was made chief architect, updating Bramante's design and construction progressed. Ultimately it was too slow and he died before its completion.

Here is what Wikipedia says about Michelangelo
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (Italian: [mikeˈlandʒelo di lodoˈviːko ˌbwɔnarˈrɔːti siˈmoːni]; 6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), known best as simply Michelangelo (English: /ˌmaɪkəlˈændʒəloʊ, ˌmɪk-/), was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the High Renaissance born in the Republic of Florence, who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Considered by many the greatest artist of his lifetime, and by some the greatest artist of all time, his artistic versatility was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival, the fellow Florentine and client of the Medici, Leonardo da Vinci.
A number of Michelangelo's works of painting, sculpture and architecture rank among the most famous in existence. His output in these fields was prodigious; given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches and reminiscences, he is the best-documented artist of the 16th century. He sculpted two of his best-known works, the Pietà and David, before the age of thirty. Despite holding a low opinion of painting, he also created two of the most influential frescoes in the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, and The Last Judgment on its altar wall. His design of the Laurentian Library pioneered Mannerist architecture. At the age of 74, he succeeded Antonio da Sangallo the Younger as the architect of St. Peter's Basilica. He transformed the plan so that the western end was finished to his design, as was the dome, with some modification, after his death.
Michelangelo was the first Western artist whose biography was published while he was alive. In fact, two biographies were published during his lifetime. One of them, by Giorgio Vasari, proposed that Michelangelo's work transcended that of any artist living or dead, and was "supreme in not one art alone but in all three".
In his lifetime, Michelangelo was often called Il Divino ("the divine one"). His contemporaries often admired his terribilità—his ability to instil a sense of awe. Attempts by subsequent artists to imitate Michelangelo's impassioned, highly personal style resulted in Mannerism, the next major movement in Western art after the High Renaissance.

He was allegedly gay and also allegedly had terrible personal hygiene. This offends my stronghold belief in stereotypes, one of which is that gay people have better personal hygiene than straight people.

Nope, serious. Many people are saying it. Believe me 100%. Wait, that did not come out right. Yes I am serious, Even though he was rich, he lived in squalor, and he rarely if ever bathed.

Rick Bonasch, Beloved Colleague at Rise, Passes Peacefully at 63
October 21, 2022 /in Rise News, Uncategorized /by Larry Perlmutter
With unbearable sadness, we announce that we've lost our friend and colleague, Rick Bonasch on October, 19, 2022. Rick was the brightest light in the world of community development and beyond. He was patient, genuinely interested, clever, and kind. Maybe most importantly, Rick was kind. He loved his work, St. Louis, and all the varied neighborhoods in St. Louis city, county, and metro-east. He was the first to forge consensus, apply logic, and work toward the best result. Because of that dedication and compassion, Rick will always be remembered, appreciated, and loved. His imprint is permanent, and his spirit will forever shape our work. Rick was the literal and figurative rhythm guitar player for Rise. He was the glue that made everything hum. We will always miss him, but his inspiration will always live within us.

Will Obama's Grand Gesture Lead to a Grand Bargain?
Life + Money
REUTERS/Larry Downing
By Eric Pianin and Josh Boak
Are the Republicans just a cheap date? Or, is President Obama really desperate?
For the past two years, both have been playing hard to get on the budget—causing near disasters involving the debt limit and the fiscal cliff. And they haven't held back on flinging sticks and stones and blaming the other guy for the mess.
Relations began to thaw this week thanks to the simplicity of a few meals. Obama hosted House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan for lunch at the White House on Thursday, after dining out with a dozen GOP senators at a luxury hotel the evening before. With those simple gestures, Obama has reaped some remarkable good will on Capitol Hill and rekindled hope that a "grand bargain" for stabilizing the national debt—$16.5 trillion and growing—may still be in reach.
But for all the optimism, this new romancing shows a major tack in strategy by the president with another expiration of the government's borrowing authority looming in May, a 2014 budget to hash out and the president's own approval ratings beginning to slip.
Obama notoriously has disliked playing the Washington game of glad-handing and cajoling his rivals to get his way. For much of his first term, he either negotiated privately with House Speaker John Boehner and other congressional leaders or pushed his economic and budget agenda at campaign-style rallies to pressure Republicans to bend to his will.
The president's past efforts largely reinforced gridlock and distrust. It did help him achieve tax hikes on the wealthiest Americans as part of the fiscal cliff deal on New Year's Day, but it proved ineffective in trying to block the $85 billion of sequester spending cuts that took effect a week ago. Republicans blasted him for what they called Obama's "perpetual campaign," and noted that many Americans were suspicious of his dire warnings of mass layoffs, furloughs and downgrading of government services if the sequester were allowed to take effect.
When Obama last relied on this approach to get congressional approval for raising the debt ceiling in 2011, the government nearly defaulted and its credit was downgraded by Standard & Poor's.
So now, Obama is playing the Washington insider's game in hopes of drafting a master plan of spending cuts, entitlement reforms, and additional tax increases. Obama recently has been renewing his offer to support changes in Social Security and Medicare – such as adopting a less generous cost of living adjustment known as chained CPI – in return for Republicans supporting more revenues to help reduce the deficit.
NEW STRATEGY, NEW START
The new strategy seemed to be welcomed by Boehner. As the top elected GOP official, the Ohio congressmen felt burnt by his previous entanglements with the White House. And when he tried to strengthen his hand in negotiations—such as adopting a "Plan B" alternative to the fiscal cliff deal—his own caucus rebelled.
"Those haven't worked very well if you've watched over the past two years," Boehner told CNBC about his bargaining with Obama. "You don't have enough member buy-in. Two people hiding behind closed doors doesn't replicate 535 members of Congress."
One of the Wednesday dinner attendees, Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., said in a response to a question from The Fiscal Times that the president needs to interact more with congressional leaders and individual lawmakers.
"It's not an either-or-thing," Toomey said. "It's helpful for President Obama to engage at both levels, at the level of elected leadership and the level of rank-and-file members."
Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen, the ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee, also attended the White House lunch with Ryan—the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee—and explained on MSNBC ahead of the meeting that Obama was being intentional in going wide with members of Congress.
"What the president is trying to do now is expand that conversation beyond just the top leaders – not to exclude them, to welcome them any time to the White House as he did last week—but to also expand that conversation to others on Capitol Hill," Van Hollen explained. "The more avenues of communication you have open, the more opportunity there is to resolve differences. Obviously there is no guarantee that we will get there. But you're guaranteed not to get there if you don't have these conversations going."
Instead of limiting past major bargaining sessions to top GOP congressional leaders, he is now casting a much broader net by consulting by phone and in person with a wide range of lawmakers who are not part of the formal hierarchy. This includes major players like senators John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, and lesser lights such as Mike Johanns of Nebraska and John Hoevan of North Dakota.
IT'S STILL A TAX OR SPEND GAME
Major fault lines persist – which will become increasingly apparent after Ryan unveils the latest version of the House Republican budget next week that seeks to wipe out the deficit within a decade. Republicans have largely rejected Obama's call to close tax loopholes in order to raise hundreds of billions of dollars in new revenues over the next decade. At the same time, Republicans favor an overhaul of Medicare that would control the government's commitments by turning it into a voucher-style program. Democrats are aligned against such a change, although they're willing to entertain reduced Medicare payments to prescription drug companies.
In reaching out to the Republicans with a grand gesture, the president dug into his own pocket to pay for dinner at the tony Jefferson Hotel Wednesday night. And it seemed to pay off almost immediately.
McCain and Coburn emerged from the two-hour dinner giving awaiting reporters the thumbs-up sign – and then the next day McCain and Graham took the Senate floor to skewer fellow Republican Rand Paul for mounting a filibuster to protest the administration's use of drones to kill foreign enemies.
Obama is scheduled to meet on Capitol Hill next week with the House and Senate Republican caucuses in search for common ground. His efforts demonstrate an eagerness to cooperate and to break a stalemate that has thwarted many of the president's initiatives. And his new charm offensive just might be the trick for bolstering his flagging approval ratings.
Just before Christmas, the president enjoyed a 58 percent favorability rating, according to the Gallup organization. That figure has since dropped to 47 percent, pretty much pulling even with his disapproval rating.
Obama has consistently leveraged his popularity to gain advantage over a Congress that is almost universally held in low regard. Should his ratings continue to fall, his hand becomes weakened in budget negotiations and the impact of his campaign-style events also gets blunted.
The Wednesday night dinner conversation reportedly covered more subjects than government finances, including immigration and gun safety legislation the president is pushing for. Graham, who was asked by Obama to organize the dinner, described the conversation as "productive and substantive."
"The discussions with the President about our long-term budget problems were candid and differences in philosophy were apparent," he said. "However, also apparent was common ground on how to move forward. One thing I am certain of -- the perpetual campaign will not solve the nation's problems."

With Speaker Paul D. Ryan retiring after this Congress ends in January, he seemingly has newfound freedom to either make a stronger push for conservative policy priorities or strike bipartisan grand bargains with Democrats.
In reality, the Wisconsin Republican has little room to do either — at least not until after November.
Ryan plans to hold on to his speaker's gavel through the remainder of his term, meaning he will still be the person in charge of making decisions that are in House Republicans' best interest. In a midterm election cycle where the party is in danger of losing dozens of House seats and potentially its majority, Ryan's likely call will be to not rock the boat.
That doesn't mean the speaker won't push conservative bills through the chamber. For example, his conference is already preparing to move a partisan farm bill that adds work requirements to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps.
Democrats oppose the bill over that change, labeling it an attempt to push thousands of people out of the program.
But overall, Ryan is not likely to push harder or further than he did before he announced his retirement. He will still run into the same obstacles — namely the Senate's 60-vote threshold for legislation — and use the same excuses for the GOP's failure to get things done. That is, blame Senate Democrats.
"Knowing Paul, knowing the speaker as I do, having worked with him for so many years, if there's a path to get policy enacted and it's conservative in nature — it's just the nature of how he is; he's a proud Republican — he'll take it and he'll push it," Rep. Tom Reed said. "And he would've pushed it before his retirement announcement and he'll continue to push it after.
But there likely won't be a path to getting much done, the New York Republican acknowledged.
As elections get closer, Reed said he feels frustrated with the resistance by many to tackle politically sensitive issues.
"We should use every day, in my opinion, to advance the cause. But the reality of the situation is, probably, that's a very difficult thing, to get anything done," he said.
Rep. Mark Sanford has a similar assessment.
"I don't think that in an election year … there's going to be immense amount of legislative change," the South Carolina Republican said.
But Ryan's leadership attributes won't change because he's retiring, Sanford added.
"Whatever good he could bring to bear, he would bring to bear as a lame duck or, you know, as somebody who would be sticking around," he said.
Despite the midterm environment and Senate obstacle, Ryan insists he'll spend the remainder of his term trying to enact the GOP's agenda.
"When I say, 'Run through the tape,' I mean get everything done that needs to get done," he said at his weekly press conference on April 12.
What "needs" to get done is an interesting choice of words.
There are only a handful of actual deadlines Congress has to meet this year, like a Sept. 30 cutoff for funding the government, reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration and passing the farm bill, which operates on a five-year cycle and expires this year.
Congress routinely passes an annual defense authorization bill, a process that will likely go on as usual. Lawmakers are also hoping to keep up their track record of biennial passage of the Water Resources Development Act, which authorizes water infrastructure projects such as ports and dams.
Ryan has said the FAA and WRDA bills are part of a piecemeal approach to infrastructure, one of the key policy items Republicans had on their 2018 agenda.
But those two bills, coupled with a total of $20 billion in additional infrastructure funding Congress approved for fiscal years 2018 and 2019, may be as far as that agenda item goes this year. A more ambitious plan to authorize new federal funding for traditional infrastructure like roads and bridges lacks a revenue source that can garner bipartisan support.
Republican leaders had dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss the GOP agenda on April 11, a few hours after Ryan announced he would not run for re-election. Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise attended.
"We're working on infrastructure, we're working on some health care bills, we're working on lots of different bills with respect to workforce development, career and technical education," Ryan said on "CBS This Morning" the next day regarding the agenda items the leaders discussed with the president.
He did not elaborate on what he meant by "some health care bills," but it was most likely a reference to a package of bills related to opioid abuse prevention that the Energy and Commerce Committee has been examining.
Workforce development is the phrase Republicans have started using for what has become a whittled-down version of the welfare overhaul plan they outlined in their Better Way agenda that dates back to the 2016 campaign, and Ryan said he expects to make progress on those policies in the coming weeks.
In addition to work requirements for SNAP, the farm bill includes support for apprenticeships and skills training.
"This is going to help get more Americans out of poverty, and it's going to help more Americans get into the workforce, while maintaining support for those in need," Ryan said.
The House Ways and Means Committee is also looking at some workforce development policies it can move this year.
One thing Ryan is unlikely to do is any kind of "barn cleaning" legislation. The phrase is what former Speaker John A. Boehner used to describe a massive budget deal he helped broker on his way out the door.
Ryan struck an even bigger budget deal in terms of spending authorization earlier this year, even before announcing his retirement.
Rep. Jim Jordan, a leader of the hard-line conservative House Freedom Caucus, said he doesn't think Ryan in his final months would agree to another massive spending bill, like the $1.3 trillion omnibus package Congress passed last month.
Among those interested in such a move is Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer.
"With his newfound political freedom, I hope the Speaker uses his remaining time in Congress to break free from the hard-right factions of his caucus that have kept Congress from getting real things done. If he's willing to reach across the aisle, he'll find Democrats willing and eager to work with him," the New York Democrat said in a statement released after the Ryan news broke.
Some members fear Ryan may be inclined to do some barn cleaning on immigration. A bipartisan deal to replace the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program remains elusive because of disagreements over what legal status should look like for those young undocumented immigrants, and how much border security needs to be paired with it.
Ryan said he is not changing his position on DACA, and that any legislation should have a workable majority.
"We offered a good-faith offer to the Democrats, and I don't want to bring legislation that won't get signed into law," he said.
"I just don't think that that's in anyone's interest," he added.
But the next morning in the interview with CBS, he acknowledged that push will not materialize into anything this year.
Some conservatives think Ryan should make the entitlement push anyway, even with the lack of bipartisan support.
"I think sometimes when you're not worried about your political future, maybe you're willing to be a little bit more honest about what you really believe in," said Idaho GOP Rep. Raúl R. Labrador, who is also retiring and is running for governor.
It's unlikely, however, that Ryan would waste his remaining policy energy on something as sweeping and politically divisive as an entitlement overhaul knowing it doesn't have a shot to become law. Rather, he'll likely push smaller conservative bills that he hopes can garner some bipartisan support in the Senate.

All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace
In the 1960s, technological machines were seen as benign helpers or megalomaniac monsters. Fifty years on, at a time when technology permeates everything we do, this show looks at how it reframes the way we think
Palais de Tokyo, Paris
3 February – 8 May 2017
by VERONICA SIMPSON
For an exhibition exploring the tensions between humans and machines, it would be hard to imagine a title more evocative of this uneasy alliance than beatnik writer Richard Brautigan's 1960s poem All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. When Brautigan first handed out free copies of his poem on the streets of San Francisco, in 1967, the social, psychological and economic impact of technology on human life was envisaged as something very different from the multiplicity of invisible tentacles via which technology facilitates / invades our lives today. Back then, popular culture saw machines as, at best, robots taking on the tasks that we find boring or tiresome; or, at worst, megalomaniac monsters reducing us to a state of subservience.
Appropriately enough, Brautigan's poem kicks off proceedings, printed in vintage typewriter font and collaged together with Brautigan's rudimentary drawings of animals and a newspaper clipping of a Manhattan highway choked with cars. It seems only right to reproduce this oddball genius's poem in full.
I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in a mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.
I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
Is the poem cynical or naive? Both, says curator Yoann Gourmel: "That's why I like this poem so much. It's a paradox. You really have this feeling that he's looking for or longing for this utopia: he's describing animals and machines in harmony, but at the same time there is already this idea that we are under the surveillance of these machines. It was written exactly 50 years ago." This anniversary prompted Gourmel to showcase a generation of artists born after Brautigan, whose practice explores "the daily use of the objects around us … how the use of technology reframes the way we think about representations of the body – what is subject and what is object?"
There are two pathways into the show, designed to bring you to the same core or "heart" (of which more later). At the entrance, Brautigan's poem is flanked by two works by US artist Mika Tajima (b1975): a black plasma screen presents us with pulsating, nonsensical, computer-generated poetry, its slick solidity contrasting with the innate silliness of the glowing text and accompanying emojis; and a suspended piece of furniture, part chair, part lamp, cloaked in a finely woven nylon netting through which pulses an eerie glow of sunset oranges, pinks and golds. The latter is one of two Meridian pieces in the show, comprising "optimised" office chairs covered with a fine membrane. The light projected within them varies in colour and intensity according to fluctuations in the price of gold and the Parisian "mood", which is apparently captured thanks to algorithms that evaluate the content of retrieved data on social media.
Then, taking the left route, you encounter Stills (2013-ongoing) by Danish born, London-based artist Marie Lund (b1976): a series of drab curtains sourced from a preschool, they have been stretched and placed in frames. Presented in sequence, like stills from a film, the 15 variously discoloured curtains have a weird, monochrome beauty, but the staining - a legacy of their exposure to light and the multiple utilitarian gestures of their opening and closing - makes them vaguely disturbing; human presence and absence writ large via the language of routine.
Alongside the curtains is a collection of slim, grey pieces resembling large, concrete cigarette butts. In fact, Lind made this Attitudes (2014) series by pouring concrete into the legs of jeans, turning life-sized but lumpenly inert limbs into paradoxical reminders of the mobility and vitality of the originals. Resting against these "legs" are beautiful copper shell sculptures, from a new series, Vase (2017), inspired by natural elements but scaled up to an unnatural but recognisable size – thus, a mussel, a razor clam, a peanut shell are visible as shiny carapaces, shells that could double up as armour, but which flaunt the stripped out, inner skin of the original.
The world of Portuguese artist Pedro Barateiro (b1979) is our next uncanny encounter: 11 large wooden sculptures covered with a thin layer of cement, comprising his piece Rumor (Workers) (2015). The shape and scale is reminiscent of sleek, contemporary furniture - chairs, benches, stools (though none looks comfortable or really usable) - and also memorials; the live material encased in a dead one. They are all curved into a faint half-smile, designed to echo the logo of today's most ubiquitous consumer portal, Amazon. Says Gourmel: "This very simple gesture of smiling that two people have, one to the other, becomes reified through the power of an online retail company like Amazon."
Against a near wall, Barateiro's video work The Current Situation (2015) creates more poetic tensions, layering scenes of nature and its destruction with cultural disruptions. In one sequence, a diseased palm tree being cut down segues into scenes of social unrest, with demonstrators parked outside the Portuguese parliament (the irony of their coach having palm trees painted on to it is not lost). With these visual juxtapositions, Barateiro expands on his fundamental premise: that economic structures copy biological ones in trying to find patterns and exploit the chaos within the system (for example, the way digital entrepreneurs have harnessed the algorithms of our online expressions of desire and interest to create opportunities for sales, or – bearing recent events in mind – political shifts).
At a time when technology is penetrating ever deeper into our cultural and social experiences, it is interesting to find an exhibition on the subject that steps back from overt expressions of digital sophistication, but instead excavates the prevailing emotional undercurrents through largely analogue media. The film Objection (1974) by Marjorie Keller (1950-94) is a case in point: a 16mm, 18-minute video, initially undertaken as a way of itemising all the contents of her family home for insurance purposes, it becomes an elegy for stuff and the life it expresses. Rendered in vintage, low-fi, gloomy analogue granularity, the rooms are devoid of people. But as the camera pans slowly over each space, revealing quilted bedspreads, framed photos of people we don't know, cosy armchairs, assorted ornaments and sofas, the objects seem to become increasingly saturated with the lives of those who have touched or chosen them. The distorted soundtrack of loud and lively family conversations - so fragmented as to be unintelligible – creates a weirdly robotic, distancing effect. And it makes us feel like intruders - even burglars, Gourmel suggests - absorbed in the intimacy of this slow "beauty parade".
Keller's film is tucked behind Michael E Smith's bespoke installation. Smith (b1977, Detroit) likes to evoke the ecological and economic disasters of our time. Here, he does so with sculptures that appear to have survived a catastrophe: one, Untitled (2017) "chaussures modifies", is a pair of bleached white, "altered shoes" made out of plastic that resemble the outer skins of some fish species; another presents a generic, metal-framed, glass-topped conservatory table with two scorched and bloated fish forms clinging, limpet-like to its legs (Untitled, 2017). In the corner of the room, Untitled (2017) video trouvée features a looped piece of instructional video he found, legacy of Detroit's motoring heyday: here, a metal drill-piece endlessly penetrates through a crevice in some sort of machinery whose form has been disguised by a thick white blanket – much as "a surgeon covers over the body of the person he's operating on", suggests Gourmel – to the stuttering soundtrack of its own insistent drilling.
At the core of the show is a site-specific installation by Hong Kong-born Lee Kit (b1978), Unfortunately, it's quiet (2017), inspired by the site's architecture. Gourmel says he wanted a sense of "fading to grey" as you reached the heart of the show. Kit, for whom this is a first major Paris showing, has created a sequence of half-formed rooms, inhabited by various projectors, some sitting on huge plastic storage tubs, others projecting light through them. Elsewhere, painterly scenes of just one section of a person – a human shoulder, seen from behind; a hand, dipped into water – are projected on to abstract paintings, often bleeding out on to the surrounding walls. These multiple, intersecting spaces of light, shadow and dreamlike imagery conjure an otherworldly and highly effective architecture of the (machine-mediated) subconscious.
In this mind state, the ensuing video triptych, Celebration (2013), by Isabelle Cornaro (b1974, France) seems all the more surreal: a screen pulsating with psychedelic displays of colour and shadow is bookended by images from early Walt Disney cartoons, and unused edits from Cornaro's own 16mm films which explore the totemic value of things – coins, trophies and ornaments.
More compelling, to me, were Tajima's attractive jacquard weaves in the final room. Taken from her series Negative Entropy (2016): acoustic portraits, they were created by spectrograms taken from industrial sites destined for closure. They are strangely attractive, their geometry and shading reminiscent of ancient kilim rugs, but the precision and irregularity tells you their source is scientific, technological, and nothing to do with ancient handicrafts.
The "mechanical" human gesture of opening and shutting a curtain; the "fossilisation" of natural forms through the application of man-made materials or technologies; the stripping out of human gesture in the patterning of a textile; in a multitude of ways, the show reveals the importance of "emotional capitalism" – the way in which we invest objects with meaning and desire through what we layer on to or into them.
One last work seems anomalous, but also profound: a cartoon from the 60s, which was shown on French national TV, depicting the galactic adventures of Barbarella's little sister: Marie Mathématique. Conceived as a "graphic musical" directed by Jacques Ansan, based on drawings by Barbarella originator Jean-Claude Forest, with texts by writer André Ruellan – in a medieval poetic form called the "virelai"- and with music written and performed by Serge Gainsbourg, it has a giddy, soft eroticism and a cast of cute and friendly robots. Gourmel says: "It's not a work of art per se, it's a TV broadcast. But I really like it in relation to the naive approach of the Brautigan poem. It's a vision of the future through the eyes of a young woman. I like the fact that everyone is in love with Marie – men, women, machines - and the erotic psychedelic approach. For me, I still can't believe it was shown on French national daytime TV in 1965."
Yet again, there is this seductive notion typical of a bygone era: that machines of "the future" will be there mainly to amuse and transport us, to give us pleasure. The reality - as this rich mix of work demonstrates - is way more complicated than that.

Stellantis to build U.S. firm Archer"s air taxi

Car maker Stellantis (STLA.MI) will help build Archer Aviation's (ACHR.N) electric aircraft Midnight eVTOL and increase its stake in the U.S. company, the two firms said on Wednesday.
Industrial firms and new startups are flocking to invest in air taxis, which can take off and land vertically to ferry travellers to airports or on short trips between cities, allowing them to beat traffic.
The vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) Midnight aircraft, which can carry four passengers and a pilot with a range of 100 miles (161 km), will be manufactured in Covington, Georgia, from 2024.
It is designed for back-to-back short distance trips of around 20 miles, with a charging time of approximately 10 minutes in-between.
"The goal is for Stellantis to mass produce Archer's eVTOL aircraft as its exclusive contract manufacturer," the companies said in a joint statement.
Stellantis, created from the merger of Fiat Chrysler and France's Peugeot, will provide up to $150 million in equity capital for potential draw by Archer at its discretion in 2023 and 2024, subject to achievement of certain business milestones.
Stellantis will also increase its existing stake in Archer through stock purchases in the open market.
"These actions, along with the other elements of this expanded partnership, will enable Stellantis to become a long-term, cornerstone investor in Archer," the companies said.
Other eVTOL ventures involving the car industry include a collaboration between Hyundai Motor Group's air taxi unit and aerospace supplier Honeywell International to develop avionics systems.
The auto industry is well ahead in battery design but the weight of current-generation batteries is seen as a limiting factor for the range and payload of the new vehicles.
In November, European planemaker Airbus (AIR.PA) forged a partnership with French carmaker Renault (RENA.PA) to develop a new generation of electric batteries and hybrid technology for cars and planes.
