Mayor-elect Michelle Wu and Annissa Essaibi George meet again in City Council chambers

Boston mayor-elect Michelle Wu and former challenger Annissa Essaibi George returned to the public arena Wednesday, taking their seats in the City Council chambers where their political careers began.
Tardy to the meeting because she forgot her City Hall pass, Wu entered a silent and seated Council chamber 15 minutes late. Essaibi George was already at her seat, a corsage of two light pink roses in plastic next to her microphone.
The two women, Wu in her trademark navy blue and Essaibi George in a carnation pink blazer, did not make eye contact during the hourlong meeting that featured comments from councilors about Tuesday's election.
Wu addressed Essaibi George — as well as other council members — in her final meeting as a member of the council she joined in 2013 as a councilor-at-large. Essaibi George followed in 2015, also a councilor-at-large. She did not seek re-election so she could run for mayor.
"To see your example as a mom who's just going to get it done, no matter how many things are on the plate, with the kids, with community, with your dedication to showing up in every space," Wu said to Essaibi George. "You've shown up for Boston time and again."
Essaibi George spoke during the meeting about her concerns about homelessness, but did not respond to Wu or supportive comments from other councilors who addressed to her.
Wu is scheduled to be sworn in on Nov. 16 as the first woman, the first person of color and the first Asian American to be elected mayor of Boston, a job she earned by receiving 64 percent of the vote, according to unofficial city tallies.
Wu is scheduled to be sworn in so quickly because former Mayor Martin J. Walsh left office to join the Biden administration as labor secretary. Walsh, after his election as mayor in 2013, had time for a vacation and did not take office until January.
The late Mayor Thomas M. Menino also took office on Nov. 16, 1993, but had served as acting mayor for about four months and had already installed his top advisers when he began his first four-year term.
During public events Wednesday, Wu addressed the compressed schedule now facing her by acknowledging she has yet to name a chief of staff and by offering a vague "in the days ahead" when asked when she would identify her key team members.
"The top priority is building out our team," Wu told reporters in Roxbury. "This is about empowering a full team that is reflective of Boston, representative of the expertise in our communities, and connected to the urgency of the issues from the cabinet level all throughout the organization."
Wu, whom analysts said was elected by progressive voters, also sounded like Menino, who was known as the "urban mechanic" for his detailed attention to all aspects of city government.
"Ensuring that we're ready for this winter with storms that may come and be ready with all the snow plows is just as important as ensuring that we are laying the groundwork for the big issues around us,'' she said. "City government is truly special because you can do the big things by getting the little things right."
Mark Horan, a Democratic political consultant who lives in Jamaica Plain, saw Wu's electoral success as a sign that progressive voters from across the city are now eclipsing more moderate and working-class residents in West Roxbury and Dorchester and other neighborhoods who historically determined the mayor's race.
"What's clear is that the more-educated liberal voters have now eclipsed traditional working-class voters,'' he said. "And that's not a surprise, given everything that we see going on around the city, but I think that's what is at the heart of this."
Sweeping progressive priorities may have helped lift her to City Hall's top spot, but Wu will have to deal with the public health and safety crisis now known as Mass and Cass and address the leadership vacuum at the top of the Boston Police Department, which has operated with an acting commissioner since February, he said.
"I think that there will be issues like police commissioner, like Mass and Cass, that are going to be front and center and they may not be totally consistent with what she wants to do in the big picture," Horan said. "It's going to be an acid test. . . . If you don't have a plan for that, that could be a stumbling block right out of the gate."
Boston's voters also chose a new City Council, where five open seats triggered an intense campaign.
But Wu's election was the race that drew millions of dollars in outside campaign donations to the city for both her and Essaibi George and also gained national media attention as proof of major change in one of the nation's most durable bastions of white male political power.
Wu met with Acting Mayor Kim Janey Wednesday afternoon. When Janey was named acting mayor, she became the first Black person and the first woman in charge of City Hall. But she was not successful in her bid to win a full term, losing in the preliminary election to Wu and Essaibi George.
Speaking to reporters at City Hall following their meeting, Wu and Janey said they had been preparing for the transition of power for the past couple of weeks and had a productive discussion Wednesday about hiring staff and about the issues facing the city.
"I'm completely confident that Mayor-elect Wu is prepared and ready to lead on day one," Janey said.
Wu voiced support for expanding access to low-threshold temporary housing, which typically does not require abstinence from substance use, for homeless people and drug users who have been living in the Mass. and Cass area, speaking of the "need to ensure that we are leading with a public health approach and not furthering criminalization."
Wu said one of her administration's first hires will be for a cabinet-level position to help coordinate services for people dealing with mental health issues, substance use, and homelessness.
She declined to discuss specific hires or policy changes she plans to make and instead spoke broadly about the challenges she faces — and that Janey faced before her — in managing the city amid the COVID-19 pandemic while also addressing longstanding issues.
"The mandate from yesterday's results is to pick on the big challenges facing our city and to do so in a way that truly brings everyone into the conversation," Wu said.
Wu will end her public schedule Wednesday by virtually attending the Boston School Committee meeting at 5:20 p.m.
Wu's victory is a testament to the shifting face of the city and its new appetite for transformative political change. Where more conservative, whiter parts of the city, such as South Boston, Dorchester, and West Roxbury, once played kingmaker, a more diverse coalition of progressive voters in neighborhoods such as Jamaica Plain and Roslindale has begun to flex its political power.
As a councilor-at-large in earlier elections, Wu has picked up support in traditional establishment communities, including Hyde Park and East Boston, and her dominance in the Sept. 14 preliminary mayoral election showed she is popular across the city.
Wu is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School and lives in Roslindale with her husband, banker Conor Pewarski, and their two young sons, Blaise and Cass. She was born in Chicago and raised in its suburbs, the eldest of four children.
Wu's advocacy of a Green New Deal for Boston drew endorsement from Senator Edward Markey. She also was endorsed by Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Representative Ayanna Pressley, a high-profile member of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party in the US House. All three applauded Wu's victory Tuesday night.
Author and prominent environmental advocate Bill McKibben also welcomed Wu's victory via Twitter. "Truly wonderful climate news from Boston, where Michelle Wu is the next mayor," McKibben tweeted. "She's going to show what a truly committed big-city mayor can do."
Horan said Wu locked in the progressive vote early.
"Progressives just made up their minds and there was no movement at all,'' he said. "Not just ones who are activists or on Twitter. I'm talking about parents in their 30s and 40s who are doctors, lawyers, and have progressive leanings. Right after the preliminary, it was Michelle. It didn't matter at all [how] she did in the debates or anything. They just weren't going to move."

El Ensayo sobre la desigualdad de las razas humanas es un libro publicado en 1853 y 1855 por el escritor francés Joseph Arthur de Gobineau. Es considerado como la obra inicial de la filosofía racista. El Ensayo tuvo gran influencia sobre el músico alemán Richard Wagner, quien se hizo amigo personal de Gobineau, así también como influiría posteriormente en Adolf Hitler y las ideas antisemitas del movimiento nacionalsocialista.

Contenido
La obra está dividida en seis volúmenes (divididos en capítulos) y una conclusión final, en el que se realiza una historia de las civilizaciones desde el punto de vista racial. Gobineau parte de una constatación inicial: el hecho de que las civilizaciones mueren, al igual que los organismos vivos; y de una pregunta inicial: ¿cuál es la razón que lleva a la decadencia y muerte de las civilizaciones?

El libro fue dedicado "a su majestad Jorge V, Rey de Hanóver".

El primer libro (La condición mortal de las civilizaciones y de las sociedades resulta de una causa general común), integrado por 16 capítulos, está dedicado a analizar cuestiones generales, como la causa de la muerte de las civilizaciones, el factor racial en las luchas sociales, las diferencias raciales y culturales de la especie humana, las razas humanas, las características y desigualdades de las razas (factores ambientales, alimenticios y culturales), la superioridad de la raza aria (por estos factores), el efecto degenerador de las mezclas («melanges») entre las razas, por esas razones.

El segundo libro (Civilización antigua brillante del Asia central al Sud-Oeste) tiene siete capítulos, dedicados a analizar a los camitas, semitas, cananeos, asirios, hebreos, hurritas, egipcios y etíopes.

El tercer libro (Civilización brillante del Asia central hacia el Sud y el Sud-Este) consta de seis capítulos, en los que analiza a los arios sus orígenes y su expansión, los brahamanes, el budismo, la India del siglo XIX.

El cuarto libro (Civilización semitas del Sud-Oeste) comprende cuatro capítulos, que tratan de la importancia de las naciones indoeuropeas para el desarrollo del mundo.

El quinto libro (Civilización europea semitizada) tiene siete capítulos, sobre las poblaciones primitivas de Europa, los tracios, ilirios, etruscos, íberos, galos, los pueblos italiotas aborígenes.

El sexto libro (La civilización occidental) consta de ocho capítulos, dedicados en su mayor parte a analizar a los germanos. En puntos sucesivos se refiere a los eslavos, la Era Vikinga, los desarrollos posteriores de la sociedad medieval (sus gobernantes, ejércitos...), los indígenas americanos y la colonización europea de América.

Como síntesis general de su obra, Gobineau termina concluyendo que:
el factor racial y/o étnico es decisivo para establecer la causa de la muerte de las civilizaciones;
la especie humana está dividida en razas, La superioridad racial aria, al ser la que posee "el monopolio de la belleza, de la inteligencia y de la fuerza" por el clima "idílico" donde se desarrolló, comparado con el resto de razas
todas las grandes civilizaciones que han existido, que él establece en diez, incluyendo las tres grandes civilizaciones americanas precolombinas han debido su grandeza al hecho de haber sido dirigidas por pueblos de raza aria (teoría de la Atlántida e Hiperbórea);
la causa de la «degeneración» y caída de las grandes civilizaciones fundadas por la raza aria, se debió a las mezclas raciales («melanges»);
si se quiere evitar la caída de la civilización aria moderna, es necesario entonces evitar la mezcla de los arios con otras razas.

Las ideas de Gobineau provienen a su vez de las obras antropológicas de clasificación del género humano a partir de los conceptos biológicos de "especie" y "raza", desarrollados por los científicos desde el siglo XVIII. La teoría de la raza aria proviene de los descubrimientos realizados por la lingüística histórica del siglo XIX, al identificar los idiomas asiáticos - avéstico de la antigua Persia y sánscrito del Valle del Indo - como antecesores de las principales lenguas europeas incluyendo el latín, el griego, todas las lenguas germánicas y célticas. Sin mayor rigor, el lingüista alemán Friedrich Schlegel dedujo que si había un lenguaje originario común, debió haber también un antiguo pueblo originario, al que denominó "ario" y le atribuyó ser el origen de todos los pueblos europeos y asiáticos.

En 1885 el antropólogo haitiano Anténor Firmin publicó su tratado De la igualdad de las razas humanas, en respuesta al famoso libro de Gobineau y al colonialismo, en momentos en que los europeos se repartían África en la Conferencia de Berlín, ignorando a sus habitantes. Precursor del pensamiento antirracista y de la antropología moderna, la obra de Firmin sería ignorada por los académicos europeos durante décadas, hasta que el colapso moral del Holocausto obligara a las potencias del mundo a asumir una posición pública contraria al racismo.

Matt Carlson: Gen Con 2021 – D to F
Posted on September 30, 2021 by Matt J Carlson
I scoured Gen Con to bring you what I've found. I leave you to scour this (and sibling posts on this site) to see if anything I scoured is of interest to you. Without further ado, here's the start of some of my explorations. More to come later as time for writing permits. As always, any errors on dates, publishers, titles, (and spelling) are mine alone. Don't go blaming the poor publishers or their overworked booth helpers.
Looking way out ahead, Devious Weasel is planning to bring The Mirroring of Mary King to GenCon 2022. This card game with striking art has players attempting to flip over the central tableau to their preferred side (ghost or Mary.) Players take turns playing cards which can flip specific cards on the tableau. The game plays over the course of a week (five days) and players can only play a few control cards per day, but as many action cards as they wish. In the lore, your deck serves as your "mind" and your discards/played cards are your memory. Thus, if you run out of cards in your personal deck you've lost your mind and lose the game. Barring such a loss, players compare majorities for flipped cards to determine the winner.
You can see the monuments in the back.
The cool plastic pieces of Paris landmarks drew me toward the Devir booth. It turns out the pieces are actually a part of Paris: Eiffel, and expansion to the base game, Paris: La Cité de la Lumière. In the base game, two players are striving to build their buildings to benefit from the streetlights being constructed throughout the city. The game has two main phases. In the first phase, players place Tetris-style tiles on the central board, with an eye towards any tiles displaying a streetlight symbol. Alternatively, a player can take a building into their reserve, to be used later. In the second phase of the game, players alternate placing their buildings onto the board in an effort to get their buildings next to as many street lights as possible. (Scoring is based on the size of the building multiplied by the number of adjacent streetlights.) Note, buildings can only be placed on one's own tiles from phase 1. Note that any unplaced buildings will score negative points at the end of the game. One last complication is a set of 8 postcards (out of 12) placed around the edges of the board. These contain one-use actions that a player can use instead of placing a building that turn. These add various effects and provide yet another bit of strategy as one may choose a postcard just to prevent one's opponent from taking it. So, that is Paris: La Cité de la Lumière. Paris: Eiffel is an upcoming expansion, due (hopefully) by Valentine's Day 2022. The expansion adds famous Parisian monuments to the mix (Eiffel Tower, Catacombs, Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, etc..) They are placed like standard buildings but also key off 8 new postcards that can be added to the game.
LUNA Capital is a 30-45 minute game where up to 4 players vie to build a colony on the moon and declare it the capital. It plays over 12 rounds where players draft cards and tiles and then place them into their own play area following rather constricting placement rules. Players score based on the arrangement of these cards and tiles. At game end, scoring occurs where clusters of like tiles are typically better than ones spread out. For those still quarantining, there is a solo option included in the rules. Look for it to be released in November 2021.
Some games attempt to wow prospective players by chucking a bunch of plastic (or even wooden) bits and pieces into the box. Wonder Book takes things to another level and upgrades the game board itself. It's most distinctive schtick is the board which is actually a pop-up book. Wonder Book is a 1-4 player co-op game that is played over six chapters. It is card-driven, in that players work their way through a specific story deck for each chapter. On a turn, a player has three actions which can be used to move, fight, use skills, or collect magic sparks (which power special abilities.) Once all players have moved, a Wyrm card is played which determines how the antagonists move, fight, and or generally create a nuisance. Players make decisions throughout the game which can have long-term effects via collected keywords. Some decision branches are only available if players have received the prerequisite keywords. Meanwhile, players are opposed by a deck of enemy cards that slowly accumulate over the course of the game. The players' characters are persistent across all six chapters, gaining items and skills as they adventure through the book. It isn't all moving and fighting as the game includes puzzles, riddles, even the occasional minigame.
My strongest association with Floodgate is Sagrada and its wonderful translucent dice. Floodgate has doubled-down on color in their new games. Vivid Memories has players collecting colorful (memory fragment) pieces of five different colors. Players start with a playmat (their brain) containing a recessed hexagonal grid. The colored pieces are sized so that three of them fit perfectly into one of the hexagons. Players take turns drafting colored pieces to place on their board. One can take three different colors, two of the same color, or take one but also get an action to "rewire" their memories. The hexagonal side just outside of the main area of one's playmat has room for a single piece. Players are trying to draft memory pieces such that they can connect pieces on opposite sides but of the same color. Making a connection scores points based on the number of connections made (if more than one) and the number of spaces used. Memory fragments are drafted off cards in the central area. When a player takes the last fragment off of a card, they can "slot in" that card into their board for an upgraded ability. When used they are flipped over for a source of victory points. The game ends at the end of three rounds. It plays in about 30-60 minutes for 2 to 4 players. Look for it to be released into the wild in December (unless your memory fails you…) *Note, the photo above is of the deluxe edition which has a playmat, 1st person token, and slightly classier draw bag.
The colors keep on coming in Holi: Festival of Colors. Here, players are celebrating the festival by tossing colored powders into the air. Players spread their colors out on a three tiered board where the point value is equal to the level on which it rests. Colors are thrown from the perspective of a player's marker. Cards are played to determine where the colors land. Each card has three areas displayed on it. A player chooses one area to represent their marker and then places powder in the other two locations matching the spots on the card. If a color hits another player, they keep the token (and cannot then also toss it) but will score points at the end of the game. A player's marker begins on the lowest of the three levels, and can move up a level but never down. Colors thrown on higher levels will "fall" down to the next level unless there is already a color token there. The game ends when a player is out of cards or out of tokens. At the end of the game there is additional scoring based on scoring cards drawn at the start of the game. Points could score bonus points based on patterns formed, collections made, etc.. The game handles 2 to 4 players and should run around 45 minutes. As a 2020 release, it's been out awhile but was still being highlighted as it would have appeared first at last year's Gen Con.
More tangentially related to color is the announced Decorum. Here, players must collaborate to decorate a house. Everyone has their own preferences, but everyone is rather passively-aggressively avoiding coming out and stating it. Throughout the game, one player will adjust the decorations in a house (where to put a lamp or other strange curios) and then all the other players will state whether they hate it, love it, or are just "cool" with it. As the process continues, players can start to figure out the wants and needs of each other and hopefully manage to set up the home to everyone's satisfaction. There is a limit to everyone's patience, of course, so if the game reaches the final round without everyone being satisfied, the players are "defeated." (I guess they split up, never to talk to each other again…) Playable by 2 to 4 players in 30 to 45 minutes, plan on doing your own redecorating sometime in January.
Hidden behind the booth's counter was a copy of Kites – a game where all they players are trying to keep their kites in the air. Kites is a cooperative speed card game based on flipping timers. Players all have a hand of cards and take turns playing any card from their hand (displaying one or two colors) and then drawing a new card. When a card is played, the active player flips all the timers that match colors on the cards. The goal is for the players to keep all the timers running without stopping. To add a bit of chaos to the mix, there is a "wildcard" timer that is also going. It can be flipped by any color, but only by cards displaying a single color. Speed is key to keeping things going, but planning ahead is also necessary to try and stay ahead of the march of (sand)time(rs).
The last tidbit to share from Floodgate was the announcement of Sagrada Legacy, coming to Gen Con 2022. Not much is known although I have in my notes something about it being a "roll & color game?" (The question mark is actually part of my notes…)
Forbidden Games
I kept running across Forbidden Games as I wandered the show (I swear they had like 3 booths, but I can't find any corroborating information on that) and they were clearly showing off two main games. Dungeon Party is what one gets by combining a game of quarters with a dungeon crawl. Even the monsters are coasters! Players attempt to bounce a coin to land on a monster coaster in order to do damage to it. Landing on the monster does damage based on one's strength rating, miss and the monster will damage the unfortunately less-than-dextrous player. Defeating a monster provides items and other power ups, and all players get to heal. The game can be played solo up to 6 players, should run around 30 to 90 minutes (depending on player count and setup), and should show up sometime this fall.
Lizard Wizard takes the successful Raccoon Tycoon market game and adds in a bit more depth. Players use an action selection mechanism to acquire reagents which are then used to cast spells. The six possible actions are to gather reagents (via playing a card,) convert reagents to mana (based on their current price), recruit a wizard (starts an auction for a wizard card), research a spell (obtain a spell card and cast it if able), create a tower (adds to one's reagent storage), or summon a familiar. Familiars are useful in several ways, often as a sort of bonus action, but they can also "Enter the Dungeon" which is a small push your luck mini-game of drawing monster and treasure cards, hoping to not draw too many monsters. The reagents tend to rise and fall in price in a stock market sort of fashion.The game ends when one of the four decks run out (Familiar, Tower, Wizard, or Spell.) At game end, players score points for each wizard and tower card combination: 10 points if they match schools (there are nine) and 5 points if they do not. Spell cards are worth 3 points if they match a wizard and a tower. Gold from the dungeon is worth 1 point each, and some of the spells provide points as their special ability.
It's been out awhile, but I don't think I got to see Crusader Kings at Gen Con 2019 so I was happy to check it over this year over in the Free League Publishing booth. It's a pretty meaty game, running at around 3 hours for 1 to 4 players (there is an AI option.) The game is inspired by a computer game by Paradox Interactive. The game, like the PC game, is more of an empire-building game than a military strategy game. Each player represents their own dynasty of rulers, not just a single person. Players have a bag of chits that represent their abilities and tendencies. As heads of state marry into other families, players gain additional tokens into their bag, representing traits that have now entered their family tree. This could be good or bad (like the "rowdy" or "drunkard" trait.) Why marry into such a family? Well, by creating blood ties with a neutral territory it is much easier to move it under your control. During the game, players have several actions open to them. They can go to war, build castles (for defence), research technology, pursue intrigue (basically attack the other players), and they MUST send someone off to the crusades. This is dangerous because if there is no one else to send, a player must send their own king with a very real chance that they will die off. There are three eras of play. Neutral territories always have an eligible marriage prospect, but these are replaced at the start of each new era. Players who like tech trees will be glad to see options to pursue inventions and counselors associated with that player's side. For example the English can get naval power, plate armor, or long bows. Miniatures buffs will appreciate that every country comes with its own distinct miniatures. It seems like an awfully long game, but the story arc of managing a dynasty rather than a set king and court does sound interesting.
I believe it was only two years ago at Gen Con 2019 that I was discussing Funko's entry into the world of boardgames via the Funkoverse strategy game. At the time, I was told by its designers that it was only the start and they had big plans to roll out even more games in the coming years. Well, it's 2021 and it took an entire scheduled meeting to go over all the gamer-oriented titles Funko was showing off at Gen Con. As one would expect, they all have strong ties to popular IP.
We led off with The Rocketeer. This is a 2 player game where the good and bad guys fight it out over the rocket jetpack technology. It is a sort of area-control tug of war set in 1939 Los Angeles. Each area controlled provides bonuses. Players alternate taking an action with one of their characters (possibly playing a card to match that character's symbol.) Cards can move characters around, fight, gain resources or push forward their agenda (raise the Rocket Token or recruit villains.) Once all characters have taken an action (there are 3 on each side) players claim area awards and then start a new round. The sides are slightly asymmetric. The Rocketeer slowly gains more mobility while the bad guys slowly become a swarm of villains. The game runs less than 60 minutes and it should appear (only in local game stores at first) in October.
The Goonies: Never Say Die is a 2-5p game played in a 1 vs many fashion. It has similarities to an RPG in that is is story-based and includes figures, maps, terrain, etc… Played over 9 adventures the first three games follow the plot of the movie but the last six start to stray farther afield. They include an octopus attack (from deleted scenes in the movie.) The Goonies play similarly throughout the game but the powers of the "Goondocks Master" vary from scenario to scenario. While it does have a narrative arc, the individual scenarios can also be replayed. The news at the show was that there will be an expansion "soon." The Goonies: Under the Goondocks will add three new teenagers (which can also be played in the base game) and three new adventures.
I was not allowed to watch The Warriors when it came to movie screens in 1979. However, there is still a part of my hind-brain that seems to remember its cultural echoes. I suppose I'm old enough for the movie now, but why watch the movie when I can live it (or at least play the game!) The Warriors: Come Out to Play is a cooperative game that mimics the movie. When all the gangs in New York get together, The Warriors are framed for an assasination and must flee the city with all the other gangs in hot pursuit. Most actions performed by gang members are fueled by cards (some unique to each character.) Running out of cards means a reshuffling and each reshuffle removes another card permanently from the game. The game plays up to four players and any unused characters (there are 8) are still part of the game as they are shuffled into the deck to appear later on. The game tries to echo its source material, with art leaning towards a cross of punk and grunge. I'm told it has some "controversial game elements specifically to make the game edgy and fresh." At least that's the quote I wrote down on my paper (whether correct or not…) Look for the game to appear in early 2022.
The final entry in my visit to Funko was a mention of Jurassic World Legacy. Launching in summer of 2022, this will be a typical legacy game with an evolving board and bits and pieces and stuff unlocking as the game goes on. It will supposedly have "lots of minis." The game plays through all the Jurassic Park movies (timeline-wise) and beyond, exploring the greater "Jurassic World" setting.
OK, I lied. The final, final entry was a glimpse of Marvel Battleworld: Treachery at Twilight lying there over in the corner. It is a cooperative game based around collectible little figures that you unbox (out of an egg/ball shaped thing) as you play the game. The game is lightweight, you go to a location, roll a die, and add your stat to resolve things. Every hero has unique abilities. Treachery at Twilight is considered Series 2 and features Loki as the lord of mischief. He uses curse cards on the players as they strive to win the game. You can buy the game as a "megapack" of 6 figures, or a Battleball of two figures (making it playable on its own.) If you need more Battleworld, there's an animation on Disney Plus for series 1 and series 2 is on Youtube.
My notebook continues to un-fill. We're not yet done, but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's not exactly close, but it is still there… Stay tuned for the rest of my discoveries coming soon to a blog near you…

Moving Venue were delighted to have the opportunity to get our creative mad-hatter hats on as we lead 90 VIP guests down the Rabbithole at the recent SAS Helitech Dinner in Queens House, Greenwich. The arrival reception saw guests greeted in the Undercroft by Alice, the White Rabbit and the delightfully offensive Queen of Hearts amongst trays of prosecco and themed mocktails served from a grass-and-tea-cup-covered bar before winding their way down the tulip staircase to take their seats for dinner in the checkerboard-floored Great Hall.
Our chefs impressed with a selection of dishes from our Autumn/Winter menu including the ever-popular Brown sugar and citrus-cured Scottish salmon, Cornish chicken and Maple cheesecake garnished with theme-tying meringue mushrooms and edible butterflies. A touch of extra theatre was added to coffee service with accompanying chocolate playing cards before guests moved to dance the night away in Wonderland.


The retaliatory tariffs against US duties should be in place by late June or early July.
European Union countries on Thursday unanimously endorsed a plan to impose import duties on $3.3bn worth of US products in response to Washington's tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from Canada, the EU, and Mexico, EU sources said.
"Member states have today unanimously supported the commission's plan for the adoption of rebalancing measures on the US tariffs," a European Commission source told AFP, adding that they would be implemented "in coming days."
These retaliatory tariffs against the US' painful duties should be in place by late June or early July.
The "counter-balancing measures" still need to be adopted by the European Commission, whose next meeting is scheduled for June 20.
The EU's hit-list of products targeted for tariffs with the US reads like a catalogue of emblematic American exports - from blue jeans to motorbikes and whiskey.
The US has singled out China, the world's leading steel producer, as the country it wishes to exclude through tariffs; but China accounts for only 2.4 percent of US steel imports, and both the US and the EU have already slapped punitive tariffs that raise the cost of Chinese steel imports.


Things I don't post online : my personal altar, any sacred talismans, active crystals and healing tools of mine I use in sessions. Magic Tools need to be kept sacred. The Sacred must be respected and protected.
Any experienced healer, witch, shaman, medicine weaver or priestess that knows how energy works always deeply respects their talismans and protects them.
In today's over sharing world I feel the need for protection and respect for the sacred is even more important. Keep your altars, tools, talismans and sacred objects hidden. When you post photos of them online your leaving them open to be programmed by anyone who views them. Are you happy with all your followers charging them up with their own thoughts? Because that's what happens if it's up online for the whole world to see.

Первый номер появился 17 июля 2005 года как приложение к Comic Zero-Sum. Comic Yuri Hime является наследником закрытого Yuri Shimai компании , также посвящённого тематике юри, многие авторы которого перешли в Comic Yuri Hime. Он публиковался раз в квартал. С 8 номера (опубликован в январе 2008 года) журнал превратился в независимое издание. В честь этого события 11 том включал приложение Petit Yuri Hime, над которым совместно работали художники изданий Comic Yuri Hime, Comic Yuri Hime S и Yuri Hime: Wildrose. С 2010 года журнал, объединённый с ранее независимым Comic Yuri Hime S, выходит раз в два месяца, по нечетным месяцам. С 2016 года журнал начнет выходить раз в месяц. Comic Yuri Hime изначально создавался как журнал для женской аудитории, а Comic Yuri Hime S — для мужской, однако читательская аудитория Comic Yuri Hime — на 70 % мужчины.

Comic Yuri Hime S
 — ежеквартальный журнал юри-манги, рассчитанный на мужскую аудиторию. Он публиковался с 18 июня 2007 года по сентябрь 2010 года. Выходил в марте, июне, сентябре и декабре. Его тираж составлял 80 тыс. экземпляров. Последний номер 14 тома был издан 18 сентября 2010 года (ноябрьский), после чего Comic Yuri Hime S был объединён с Comic Yuri Hime. Часть манги продолжила выходить в Comic Yuri Hime, а часть была перенесена в онлайн.

Zac Bissonnette: Good Advice From Bad People
May 3, 2014 //
Here is petulant Zac Bissonnette, shaking down a pig for Glamour magazine. His new book, Good Advice From Bad People, is a collection of poorly collated quotes by people we would rather forget.
Last year, after reading a post on the Facebook wall of dog book and minorities writer/teacher Benoit Denizet-Lewis, I had the misfortune to run into Zac Bissonnette (too many consonants, no?).
Gay Benoit is a brilliant writer, why he lauds Zac Bissonnette is a mystery to me. Unless… of course… Gay Zac's flaxen hair and youthful spirit and perfect teeth… no… that just couldn't be.
Anyway, I read the essay by Zac that Benoit posted on his 'wall' and frankly… it wasn't very good. So. I said. Under the post… in the comments section: 'this isn't very good'.
Zac, in-between reading Facebook, counting the money that will keep him from moving in with his parents if everything fails, moisturizing his perfect creamy skin, preening his immaculate coiffeur and appropriating Bernie Madoff quotes… found the time to have an old-fashioned shit fit. Apparently, not uncommon for Zac.
It turns out he is the Veruca Salt of financial self-help. You remember her? The demanding, selfish little kid from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory who wants an Oompa Loompa but ends up with an ever lasting gob stopper.
Like most arrogant, entitled white american gays Zac didn't take my mild criticism very well. Within an hour or two Zac had sifted through the internet declaring me bankrupt, running a bad business and a bunch of other 'designed to shame' comments. The one that pissed me off… you know, after having been abused for so many years, was his unsubstantiated accusation that I could be a child molester.
So. This is who we are dealing with. Zac gets some mild criticism and decides to accuse me of fucking children.
He is typical of his generation: young, white gay men. I meet them all the time. Prone to tantrums, relying on their good looks and minimal talent. When challenged they accuse anyone over 40 of pedophilia. They have run out of credible insults. Accusing a gay man of pedophilia masks two horrible truths. Firstly, people like Zac are terminally ageist. Secondly, puerile Zac feels 'abused' by anyone he considers stupid enough to challenge his ideal self.
He accuses me of pedophilia because he thinks of himself as an innocent little boy. He feels my criticism like he imagines a child feels a rapists penis. He suffers from crippling denial, like many gay men, denial that he is no longer a child and terrified that he will become an old man. After all, what is he without his youth? This particular denial runs rampant throughout his poorly educated, right-wing generation.
Not taking his pedophile accusations very well I challenged Zac on twitter to say publicly what he had accused me of privately. He rather wisely refused. He told me I was harassing him… even though he had contacted me! Then, after a change of heart, he told me that he wanted to talk to me. He said, "I think it's better by phone. . . I promise I'm really nice on the phone." He gave me his home phone number but told me not to call him at 3am. Here is his number for those of you who might want to get to know Zac better… lolz… do you dare me?
I'm not going to call Zac Bissonnette… because he is an idiot. How much of an idiot? Check his 'financial advice' in Glamour magazine. Advice so moronic and condescending only a man in a tight gray tee-shirt could have gotten away with it. Perhaps the folk at Glamour thought Zac's pecs would distract women from what he had written?
My good advice to you, Zac? From this bad person? Grow the fuck up.
P.S. According to the World Health Organization 7 out of every 1000 American babies die before they are a year old. Sadly, Zac wasn't one of them.

Frequency Selection of Wake Flow Behind a NACA 0012 Wing
Han-Wen Lee, Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.Follow
Rong-Fung Huang, Graduate student, Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.
The oscillating flow modes, frequency selection, and response of periodic frequency to change of characteristic flow modes behind a NACA 0012 wing model are studied experimentally. The functional relationships of the dominant mechanisms in limiting ranges of Reynolds number are justified analytically. The oscillating instabilities in wake region possess four characteristic modes: laminar, subcritical, transitional, and supercritical. In viscous effect dominated regime of laminar mode, Strouhal number is inversely proportional to Reynolds number. In inertial effect or pressure gradient dominated regime of supercritical mode, Strouhal remains constant. In regime between limiting cases, Strouhal number increases nonlinearly with Reynolds number and drops to a low value as shed vortices change from laminar to subcritical mode. The increase of free-stream turbulent fluctuations causes the decrease of Strouhal number only at low Reynolds numbers. In high Reynolds number regime, the effect is not apparent.

If you are looking for a survey site that won't ask you the same old questions about your favorite soda or air freshener, check out Springboard America. Springboard America is a legitimate survey site that offers surveys on topics like politics and current events so its not the same repetitive surveys on advertising and commercial products.
They have a high payout threshold of $50, but each survey pays you between $.50- $5.00 so they can certainly add up. And to prove how much they add up to, in April 2014 alone Springboard America paid out $40,000 to survey takers! Wow! Those survey dollars can be cashed out as Amazon e-gift cards, Paypal payments, a check, or a charitable donation. And if you attempt a survey and don't qualify for it you will get sweepstakes entries into their $750 sweepstakes.
I have taken their surveys before and they are not long or complicated. Their interface is easy to use and understand. Surveys are a great way to make some easy extra cash. Not a ton extra and it won't make you rich, but if you steadily take surveys you can make an extra $25-$50 a month if you qualify for enough surveys. That's no slouch for just answering some questions and that's easy extra cash for debt repayment.

Mother and son grow closer, silence melts into words, and life springs between them. The son leaves, and winter settles in to the forever-outdated house in which temporalities blurs and past and show beat to the rhythm of the same clock.

Here are a few helpful tips that you need to use when trying to find the right Cheap Car Insurance in Tulsa OK.
The first thing that has to happen when trying to find the right car insurance in your area is to get an idea of what you need. You need to think about whether or not the car you have needs full coverage or liability insurance. If you are still making payments on your car, then you will need to get full coverage.

Make sure that you choose only the most reputable and knowledgeable companies in your area to get quotes from. You need to also pay close attention to the quality of the policies you are being quoted.

"Transitioned from a Design Guy to an Executive Design Leader"
"This training has been a fantastic investment of both my time and money. The one idea that really stands out is the central message "Change the frame and you change the game!". Ever since, I've shifted my perspective and behavior to align with executive presence, I'm seeing tangible and rapid growth in my leadership journey."
"I've transitioned from purely doing hands-on work to a mix that involves delegation of responsibilities!"
"The calm demeanor or gravitas that I'm beginning to embody more with each passing day is transforming at a psychological level to prepare me for the leadership role in the months to come. My vessel of confidence is increasing as a result and I feel I'm at the cusp of breaking into a leadership role."
Cindy Tien

"After completing this program, I speak up and share my perspective(s) when I have them rather than keeping quiet. I've got stronger ability to ask for what I want and to say no to what I don't want. "
"Do it! The program will enable you to live your best self to the fullest potential. Gift yourself this wonderful gift, the world needs to see your brilliance!"

"This coaching addresses the very issues that prevent an individual from being their best at all times"
"Andrew's coaching on Self-Leadership and Executive Presence has been transformational for me. I decided to sign up for his course as I have watched Andrew in this space for long and was convinced he is the right coach for me. I say transformational because his coaching addresses the very issues that prevent an individual from being their best at all times irrespective of qualifications/professional level."
"I can see myself expressing fully, without being self-conscious/holding back. He is very responsive to questions and is very committed to his clients' progress. I strongly recommend Andrew Bryant!"
Shalmalee Vaidya

"I have sat through many trainings and have witnessed some great presenters but when I took Andrew's leadership course, I was blown away and he influenced me for a lifetime."
"A very fundamental difference is that, Andrew coaches you in the moment."
"His ability to dissect your situation in the moment and coach you to a solution, is commendable. His command over the language, art of storytelling and power of 'listening' with utmost attention is phenomenal. Andrew's personality is charismatic, and he backs it up with a lot of research & understanding the core of leadership. Andrew makes a lot of sense and he undoubtedly is 'The Best' in this field !!"

"My inner narrative told me that I do not deserve to be where I am today. I was unhappy, frustrated and sad. In open settings, I would disappear away from everyone, no one would take notice of my presence and when I do speak, I wasn't taken seriously."

"Observing Andrew teaching leadership in action is a pleasure. His stories feel authentic, because his own behavior and personality reflect his teachings. Along the way, he makes some important points. For example, persuasion alone is not enough in leadership. Persuasion, as practiced in sales, might easily lead to buyer's remorse afterwards. To lead, you must influence other people's goals, and that is one step ahead of persuasion. - There is much more where this came from."

"Having worked in the conferencing and events industry for quite some time, claims of 'engaging' and 'cutting edge content' from professional speakers can end up to be nothing more than rhetoric. Not so with Andrew!

Daniel Levey
GM APAC, Worldwide Business Research

CEO, Right Selection Speakers Bureau
"He is a dream to work with for any Speakers Bureau. The feedback was absolutely outstanding, we had people from the audience come up to Andrew after his talk and appreciate the simple and actionable value he delivered. He works hard to customize and create a mesmerizing experience and add tremendous value to the conference."
Shanggari Balakrishnan
CEO at Mors Group
"Andrew Bryant has got the right mix of wit and content that makes his keynotes apt and completely applicable to your day-to-day works. Any corporates looking for programs to bring about new energy and vision to the team, and if Andrew is on it, go for it, you'll be glad you did."

Jose Mourinho is ready to battle Pep Guardiola for the signing of Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder, Fred.
That's what The Mirror says, per The Sun, with the Ukrainian club set to demand around £50million to let the Brazilian leave.
Apparently, Fred is amongst those names passed to Edward Woodward by the self-proclaimed Special One, with United's Vice-Chairman tasked with acquiring players that Mourinho wants, in order to challenge City for the title next term.
It seems as though the sides could go head-to-head before the campaign gets underway though, and it'll certainly be interesting to see where the 25-year-old midfielder ends up if he does leave Shakhtar.
Honestly, it seems clear (to me anyway), that United desperately need to invest in at least one midfielder this summer. Michael Carrick is retiring, whereas Marouane Fellaini is yet to put pen to paper on a new contract, so we could well be in the market for two new central players.
Fred would be an excellent start, and I could certainly see him in a three alongside both Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic. However, £50million seems a hefty price for a man who's playing in the Ukrainian league, and it'll be intriguing to see if he can take it up a level if he moves to England.

Prix d'Honneur du Jury - Delta AirLines
Beyond all awards, there are some companies who make it possible for all the others to grow and thrive between the two sides of the Atlantic. This award recognizes the enablers of French-American trade, investments and relationships.
Delta Air Lines is the U.S. global airline leader in products, services, innovation, reliability and customer experience.
Powered by its 80,000 people around the world, Delta continues to invest billions in its people, delivering a world-class experience. Delta serves nearly 200 million people every year, taking customers across its industry-leading global network to more than 300 destinations in over 50 countries.
Delta Air Lines launched a direct flight from RDU to Paris in 2015.
Opening this flight has been a game changer for FDI in North Carolina and notably a really powerful argument in convincing French companies looking to do business in the USA to consider NC.
The network of French chambers is now more apt to recommend NC as an option and in the last years many French businesses have considered opening a subsidiary in NC or doing business with North Carolina companies.
Our most recent example is Cellectis, a gene therapy company which chose Raleigh to open a manufacturing facility in 2018.

How Find My will make it easier to track a stolen Apple laptop
Mac How to
How to find a stolen Mac and protect data from thieves
Need help to Find your Mac? If your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro has been stolen or lost you can track it, lock it, and even message the oxygen waster who lifted your laptop. Here's how to find, track and hopefully recover a lost or stolen Mac.
By Karen Haslam | 21 Aug 19
If your Mac's been stolen or you've left it somewhere there is some pretty nifty Apple technology that can help you find it again. The only proviso it that you need to have set it up first.
We explain how to find a stolen Mac.
How 'Find My' can track a lost Mac
Find My Mac (which will soon be known simply as 'Find My' and will incorporate the Find My Friends service when macOS Catalina and iOS 13 launch in September 2019) allows you to find an Apple device that has gone missing.
That device will need to have been registered for the Find My Mac service by you, and it will need to be awake. Once Find My launches in September, the service will also be able to detect sleeping Macs. The service won't detect a Mac that is switched off or if it has a flat battery, although you can set it to alert you as soon as the Mac is powered up again.
Find My (and Find My Mac) shows the location of all your devices on a map - not only Macs, but also iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches. Again, it relies on the devices being switched on and connected to the web - although when Find My launches it will be able to detect devices that aren't connected to the web, even if they are sleeping.
When Find My launches the service will use low-energy Bluetooth signals in order to detect sleeping and offline Macs. Using Find My you'll be able to track the lost Mac because it will be sending out tiny bits of data, or Bluetooth beacons, that other devices can pick up and relay back to you. Apple emphasises that your privacy remains intact because you are the only one able to identify your Mac and all signals are heavily encrypted.
Currently you can access the Find My Mac service from an iPhone or iPad using Find My iPhone (soon to be known as Find My), and a Mac or PC by visiting the iCloud website and logging on, we'll explain how to use those services below.
When Find My launches there will be a Mac app with this icon:
We will also explain how to use Find My on your Mac below.
It's not clear yet whether users will be able to access the service via the web as they can currently - which is useful if you only have a PC available to track your lost device with.
How to set up Find My Mac
Unfortunately Find My Mac is not turned on by default - probably for privacy reasons. Therefore you need to set it up BEFORE your MacBook is stolen (we're not saying it's going to be stolen, by the way, we have no inside knowledge). Every MacBook (or desktop Mac) user should do this. Do it now.
Here's how to find out if Find My Mac is already switched on, or to turn it on if not:
Head to System Preferences. (Click on the Apple logo in the right corner of your screen > System Preferences).
Open up the iCloud pane.
If you aren't already logged into iCloud do so using your usual Apple ID password.
Once you are logged in to iCloud, scroll down to see if the Find My Mac checkbox is ticked.
If Find My Mac isn't already turned on, click in the box and when asked click on Allow to turn it on.
The service is is free and once you've turned on Find My Mac you're good to go. You'll never need to think about it again... unless someone swipes your Mac, or you leave it in a taxi...
Should that happen, we'll show you what to do if your MacBook is stolen or missing presumed stolen in the next step.
How to use Find My Mac to trace your MacBook
Okay. You feel sick to the pit of your stomach because you know, you just know, that your MacBook has been stolen. Take a deep breath. Here's what to do:
First up, call the police. They're the experts. They will work with you on this, and can advise you on how to use the powers given to you by Find My Mac. But they will dissuade you from going vigilante. And that is good advice.
Right now there are two ways to find your Mac - either you can log into iCloud on a web browser on a PC or Mac. Or you can use the Find My iPhone app on any iPhone or iPad (if needs be you can borrow a friend's device). We'll explain how to use the service on the different devices below.
When Catalina and iOS 13 arrive there will new a new Mac app called Find My, so the process will change slightly, we look at that below too.
How to Find My Mac on a Mac or PC
So, your Mac's disappeared, if you have another Mac or PC handy - they don't need to belong to you - you can use the iCloud site to locate your Mac.
Visit at iCloud.com in a web browser on a Mac or a PC.
Log in with your Apple account details (the details you use when muying apps and music).
Click on the Find iPhone tab. Yes, we know you are't looking for an iPhone - this is one reason why the app is being renamed Find My...
You will see a local map showing all your devices nearby. You can zoom out on the map to check you didn't leave your Mac in the office.
You can quickly see information about all your devices if you click on All Devices above the map. You will then see a drop down box including details about whether the device is online or offline, and when it was last contacted.
Click on a device to see more details and to get access to the options: Play Sound, Lost or Erase.
Play Sound is a useful option if it turns out the Mac is nearby but you just can't find it.
Lock is a good option if you think you might be able to get your Mac back but don't want to take any chances with the data. If you opt to remotely lock your MacBook (or any of the other devices) it will shut down and set a four-digit passcode of your choosing. It won't then reboot without the correct passcode.
If you think the Mac has been stolen you should choose Erase Mac because even worse than having your Mac stolen is having your identity stolen or private date falling into the wrong hands.
How to Find My Mac with an iPhone
If you aren't able to get onto a Mac or PC, and you have an iPhone, you can use that device.
Log into Find iPhone on your iPad or iPhone (or on a friend's device) using your Apple ID and login. Despite it's name, the app will find any Apple device, not just iPhones. When iOS 13 launches the app will be known as Find My, which makes a lot more sense.
You'll see a list of all the findable iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Macs associated with your account, hopefully including your missing MacBook, along with a map showing your current location (and any devices that are nearby). If it turns out your Mac hasn't been stolen you might see that it is nearby (or maybe the thief is still in the area).
Just below each device you'll see whether it's online or offline, and beside it is an indicator of how many miles away it is. If you see green dot next to a device name it means that Find My iPhone located it. A grey dot beside a device means it is offline or could not be found (more on that scenario below).
If your MacBook has been found by Find My Mac you will be able to view it on the map.
If you tap on the device you will see an Actions tab appear at the bottom of the screen with the options to Play Sound, Lock or Erase Mac.
As above, you can use Play Sound if the Mac is lost at home or in the office and retrieve it easily. Lock is the one to use if you think you might get the Mac back. And Erase if you want to keep your data safe more than anything else (hopefully you have a back up of your Mac).
If it is close and your friendly local plod is happy to take you around looking for it you could use the Play Sound option to revel your Mac.
How to use Find My to locate a lost Mac
When Find My arrives on Macs with Catalina you'll be able to use a new Mac app to locate your lost device, rather than log onto a web portal.
Open Find My. You'll see an explaination of how the two apps have merged - Find My iPhone and Find My Friends - this means you can use the app to locate your friends as well as your Apple products. You and your friends can determine whether their location is shared this way.
There are two tabs, People and Devices. People is where you'll see the loction of anyone you added to Find My Friends (it's always seemed a bit stalker like to us, but could be useful for families). Click on Devices tab to see all your devices.
You'll see a map - any devices that are near by will appear, expect for any that are switched off or have no battery. This map is slightly more detailed than the previous map was.
If you scroll down you will see the devices of anyone who is part of your Family Sharing account, which could be useful if your child has lost an iPhone, for example.
If you see the Mac you have lost listed but it's location islisted as No Location, that indicates that it is switched off, or out of battery. However, you can set it to notify you as soon as it is powered up again.
There are also options to mark the device as lost and erase the device, which you should do even if you think there is a chance you could recover it, to avoid anyone being able to access your data.
How to lock and erase your MacBook using Find My Mac
As we explained above, you can remotely lock your Mac or erase its entire contents. You should do this if you think that your Mac has been stolen as having your Mac stolen is a lot worse if someone also gains access to your social networks, email, and your bank account.
If you choose to Lock your Mac a four-digit passcode of your choosing will be required to turn it back on again.
Erasing you Mac may be required if your MacBook contains critical data. If you choose Erase Mac all data and settings will be securely erased from your Mac. You will need a back up to recover the data.
How to find my Mac if the Mac is offline
While Find My when it arrives in September 2019, will mean it is possible to locate a Mac without it being connected to the web and awake, because all that is required is for Bluetooth to be broadcasting. However, even then, if your Mac is powered off, or out of battery it won't be able to detect it.
In that case you can choose the option: Notify When Found, in which case you will get an alert if and when it connects to the web.
You still have the options to Lock, Erase and Play a Sound - but those actions won't play out until the Mac is switched on again.
How to find my Mac if I don't have Find My Mac turned on
Before you rule out using Find My Mac, check! It's possible that you do have Find My Mac turned on even if you don't remember doing so. You may have enabled Find My Mac when you set up your Mac.
See if this is the case by logging on to iCloud in a web browser, or downloading and opening the Find My iPhone app on an iPhone or iPad as above.
If your Mac doesn't appear in the list, there are a few more options that we will discuss below.
What to do if you can't find your laptop
So, suppose Find My Mac can't locate your Mac, either because it's switched off, our of battery, or because Find My Mac hasn't been set up. What can you do?
As we said right at the beginning, tell the police. Apart from anything, you will need a police report to be filed in order to be able to claim on your insurance. You do have insurance, right?
You could also attempt to track your Mac's IP Address. This might work if the thief has logged into Gmail on your Mac. Open Gmail and look in the bottom right corner for Details. Click on this to see the last IP address used, this might be their IP address and once you have that you could give it to the police to track (which will involve the police getting the information out of the internet provider of the IP address...)
Other things to do to protect your Mac
Make sure you set up a password so that your Mac can't be unlocked without one. Read about why you should choose a strong password, and how, here.
Install tracking software in addition to Find My Mac. In the past we have looked at LoJack for Laptops, reviewed here.

Q: problems after upgrade to knockout 3.1 When i want deal with radio button in knockout 2.0 I used the below code but now i upgrade to knockout 3.1 and this below code throw exception say that update is not a function.
ko.bindingHandlers.radioOnOffBoolean =
{
    init: function (element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor) {
        var value = valueAccessor();
        var newValueAccessor = function () {
            return ko.dependentObservable({
                read: value,
                write: function (newValue) {
                    value(newValue === "On");
                }
            });
        };

        ko.bindingHandlers.checked.init(element, newValueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor);
    },
    update: function (element, valueAccessor) {
        var value = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(valueAccessor());
        var newValueAccessor = function () {
            return value ? "On" : "Off";
        };
        ko.bindingHandlers.checked.update(element, newValueAccessor);

    }
};

A: Knockout v3 now checks for strict equality when comparing model values and element values for the checked binding.
var isCheckedValue = ko.observable(true);

<input type="radio" name="example" data-bind="checked: isCheckedValue, checkedValue: true" />

Tory Lanez Bail Increased for Violating Megan Thee Stallion's Restraining Order During DaBaby Festival Set
Lanez made a surprise appearance at DaBaby's infamous Rolling Loud Miami set, which took place right after Megan Thee Stallion's performance
By Evan Minsker

After being arrested last summer and subsequently charged for felony assault over an incident where he was accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, Tory Lanez was issued a protective order. A judge required for Lanez to refrain from contacting or coming within 100 yards of Megan Thee Stallion. Today, in a Los Angeles court appearance, a judge ordered Lanez to pay additional bail, saying he violated the protective order during his appearance at DaBaby's Rolling Loud Miami set, Billboard and TMZ report. His bail was increased to $250,000 from $190,000.
Lanez made an unannounced appearance during DaBaby's set—which also featured DaBaby making homophobic remarks that led to multiple festival cancellations. His surprise guest spot happened just after Megan Thee Stallion left the festival stage.
"You're facing years in prison, over 22 years in prison," Judge Keith Borjon reportedly told Lanez in court today. "They could have filed an additional charge based on violating the protective order because that's a violation of law, as well. You do not want to be doing things like this, sir. You have the means and the wherewithal and a lot of smart people around you to advise you as to how you should be conducting your life so we don't have to have hearings like this."
Tory Lanez has denied allegations of wrongdoing in lyrics from the album Daystar. In an op-ed published in The New York Times last year, Megan Thee Stallion wrote about being "the victim of an act of violence by a man." She also alluded to the incident on her album Good News.
