A final word about this Democratic primary in New Hampshire, and then I'll move on.
All the discussion around the outcome has focused on what Hillary Rodham Clinton did to reverse her fortunes — namely, shout, choke up and shake about a million hands. But Barack Obama had some role in his own defeat, too. I keep thinking now, with the wisdom that hindsight affords, of an Obama event in Salem a few days before the primary. The police turned away 4,000 people at the door because there was only room for 1,000 inside the hall. I had never seen anything like that in politics.
Obama asked, as he often does, how many of the voters in the room were undecided. I was surprised to see maybe a third of the hands in the auditorium go up. Then the candidate proceeded to give the same inspiring, rally-type speech he had been giving in Iowa. I was watching the faces of a group of middle-aged voters sitting near the back (you often learn more from watching voters during an event than you do by interviewing them after the fact), and I could see that they were generally unmoved. These weren't kids in Iowa City; they were taciturn New England parents, and perhaps they had questions they had hoped to ask. Obama didn't take any, which was his habit for most of that final week in New Hampshire. He had a lead, and he was running out the clock.
These impressions may not be worth very much; they're certainly not scientific. But like other reporters, I trusted the polls more than I trusted my own experience, and I now believe that a commenter named Kishore was right in his response to my post a few days ago: the polls were accurate at the moment when they were conducted, but they didn't reflect the dynamism of such a collapsed campaign schedule.
Now, no one in my business could (or should) predict where this contest is headed, but it seems to me that there is some mildly troubling data for Obama in the exit polling. I'm not just talking about the lopsided result among women; I'm talking about the kinds of voters Obama actually did win. Unlike in Iowa, where his support was somewhat broader, Obama drew most of his strength in New Hampshire from voters under 40, affluent Democrats and independents. Clinton, on the other hand, succeeded with those voters who make up the traditional Democratic base: older, less affluent Democrats and those with less education.
The problem here is that Obama's pattern of support in New Hampshire, should it be repeated elsewhere, would place him squarely in the tradition of your classic liberal insurgent—this year's Bill Bradley or Howard Dean. Obviously, there are some crucial differences: Obama will lay claim to some substantial portion of black voters in upcoming states, which past insurgents have not, and he has already had more success than Bradley or Dean. So I don't mean to suggest that he is doomed to suffer anything like the same fate. But he does seem to be entering a perilous moment where his well-funded campaign could easily become this year's "cause" or "movement," rather than a candidacy with the kind of broad support you need to get you through to the convention. Liberal causes built on beautiful speeches and campus rallies never really win the nomination; they just fade into noble lore, fondly remembered by that breed of Democrat who seems to view losing as a kind of moral validation.
For Obama, this might argue, going forward, for replacing some of the rallies and rhetoric with more substantive speeches and interactive town halls. When Obama engages voters in a conversation, he gives the impression, as Bill Richardson put it in his very gracious farewell speech yesterday, of being "grounded in thoughtful wisdom beyond his years." If there is a lesson in those exit polls for Obama, it may be that inspiration will only get you so many voters. The rest you have to convince.
What exactly did you find convincing about any of Hillary's new flair for comedy and drama?
I'm not even sure which is which.
I think Mr. Obama insurges from the right, not the left.
I agree in part with the post. Obama should never have acted like a front runner. After all, that is what in large part cost Clinton Iowa. Refusing to take questions and simply waiting until the caucus/primary was over to give a victory speech. I believe this is only one contributer to the results of the NH primary. Going into the primary everyone was saying how infamously independent NH voters were, and I agree with this statement. Now couple that with every talking head and journalist saying Obama had a lock down. I truly believe many NH dems and independents thought "You can't tell me who I'm going to vote for before I vote!" and voted for Clinton.
Going forward, I still see an Obama win. People will realize Clinton didn't "comeback" from anything, up until two weeks before the primary she was supposed to trounce Obama. The change message is still resonating with voters across the country. I think Obama will pull of a win in the Nevada caucus, which will lock down South Carolina. Winning 3 out of the 4 early states will give him huge "momentum" (a word I have come to detest in this election cycle) going into February 5th.
That same rational which Bai uses to doom Obama, that his voters are young and independent, while Hillary gets the base, is the same rational that I use to say that Obama is the electable one, not Hillary. In November, Hillary will not get the independent and youths to turn out for her. She will lose. Obama will reach out to a broader base and win. I don't think Bai knows what he is talking about, except to promote Clinton. Remember, Obama only lost by 2% because women felt sorry for Clinton. Now is that any way to pick a candidate? Out of sympathy? It will do her no good down the road when she has to face a Republican. We can't have a President that people just feel sorry for.
Will someone please send Matt Bai's column to David Axelrod?!
I think that is thoughtful and interesting criticism Mat. Obama is indeed 'grounded in thoughtful wisdom beyond his years', and I have no doubt that he too, is reevaluating this. He said at one point he was almost glad of the grounding in NH, that it was beginning to feel like he was being projected into some kind of superman status (my words, not his, he was more eloquent, but I can't remember) I think that itself shows he is sensitive to this, and that he will correct this and show us more of the on the ground organizer and listener we saw in Iowa. In the meantime, what do you think of the diebold machines?
Running out the clock, indeed.
Obama may have hurt himself by playing it too safe in the closing days of the New Hampshire primary, but what struck me most when I saw him on the news was just how un-presidential he seemed. Instead of a confident man in control of the room, I saw someone who looked ill at ease, who looked too young for the job of leader of the free world.
Not scientific, but that was my gut reaction towards visualizing Obama on the television.
Also, I think it's important to note that instigators for change are not always those who wind up in leadership positions. Maybe the public just recognizes that Obama's the messenger, that someone else will have to be the one who runs with the ball.
I have to agree – Obama has to treat each Primary, each state, as he had approached Iowa as the underdog – he has to act like her really really wants it.
You can not rely on polls or what experts say because these are the same idiots who said that Hillary was supposed to win in Iowa.
A very well written article. Now that it has basically become a 2 person race, the votes will hold Obama up to much more scrutiny, and his message of hope and change will need to be re-tooled.
I think Hillary will win the nomination after a long hard fight.
There's one big difference between Obama and Dean and Bradley. He won Iowa; the others did not. And it wasn't as if he lost by a wide margin in NH.
Can't one be a candidate AND start a movement ? I think Obama can. He has shown that he is gifted at integrating both his life experiences and those who hold opposing beliefs. Because he's a gifted orator, people don't realize how hard it is for black males in this country to succeed.
The essential difference between Bradley and other insurgent liberals and Obama is two-fold: He convinced a broad range of caucus-goers in Iowa and he is actually the more moderate of the two candidates. In Iowa Obama convinced people from every walk of life that he was the best choice. The real story in New Hampshire is that in Hillary Clinton beat Obama by ONLY 3 points. New Hampshire was Hillary's firewall state, the place where she planned to stop any other candidate who got momentum. Instead it served to bring her back from the brink and now we have a legitimate two candidate race. On the "liberal" front, anyone who examines Obama's record (and yes he has one) will see that he is motivated much more by solving problems than ideological battles.
You are ignoring the groups of voters that voted for Obama in Iowa. He attracted more female voters and more men. The only group he didn't beat Clinton in was the much older women.
Isn't it possible that the core Democratic base might be changing ?
The difference between Obama and Dean is that the large youth movement Dean supposedly had behind him never materialized. Obama has something like 500,000 contributors and he doubled the turnout in Iowa–something that analysts predicted would happen for Dean but never did.
I'm definitely worried about the campaign's prospects, especially for the Feb. 5th states. But if he picks up both NV and SC, which looks probable right now, well…let's just say it will be close.
Perhaps the lesson here for all the candidates is that acting like a frontrunner and refusing to take questions ticks voters off.
As an ardent Obama guy, I totally agree. I thought he lost the election as much as Hillary won it. His arrogant front-runner pose did not sit well with me and I'm a true believer. I hope he and the campaign learned a hard lesson. You've got to earn every single vote. It doesn't change my allegiance, but I like him for his substance more than his style. He is not fluff and I don't know why he isn't pushing back harder on that front.
Obama DIDN'T TAKE QUESTIONS? And I hear that outside signs were not allowed in, and that his own campaign workers made the "homemade" signs.
This is very troubling, people, for democracy.
This is grasping at stuff looking backwards. Obama was up in the polls by a big amount 24 hours before voting. The only thing that changed anything was the random element of Clinton tearing up and getting a lot of sympathy with a press that victimized her.
The big town halls and the rallies where he didn't take questions for 4 days could hardly turn a near double digit lead from a day before voting to a defeat the day of voting.
Also there may have been some Bradley effect happening. I've noticed that writers seem to misunderstand the effect by saying that Obama got near the level of support that he was polling before the election, and that it was Clinton who magically received more votes. Well, that was what happened to Bradley and Wilder etc…their vote expectations didn't drop, they received totals near their poll numbers, it's just that their opponents got more votes almost magically the same way Clinton did. The Bradley effect is not about an African American polling less than expected, it is about a white opponent suddenly getting MORE than expected.
Matt, let us face it. Barack Obama's speech, if you have heard it once, its the same over and over again. "Change", "yes we can", etc. It doesn't say anything substantial except to imply false hopes. He carefully avoids the word "Reform". The style is more like a preacher's rather than a statesman's. It just does not strike a chord. He shoots darts in the dark hoping it will hit one.
Although I am a Hillary supporter, I have listened to his speeches with open mibd and find them superficial and lacking substance. He is going to run out of cliches soon. Then what?
However, he does not in that article consider the Obama possibility: that an "insurgent" Dem candidate would win Iowa by nine points, come second-place in New Hamphire by two points, and still have enough money and endorsements to mount a powerful campaign against the "establishment" person.
Anyway, if "insurgent" Democratic candidates never win, what were Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter?
Sorry Matt. You should have gone with the "Obama as Reagan" thesis that all the pundits are on about right now, instead of dusting off an article that's almost two years old.
You know what, Mr Bai, I think Obama is doing EVERYTHING right and should keep up the great work. I suppose you would have accused Dr. King as being just another "Liberal cause built on beautiful speeches".
It's not as complicated as you make it sound. For many, Obama is the answer to the question while Hillary is the answer to the followup.
But show me someone with no political opposition or enemies, and I will show you someone who has not done anything. There are those who survive in spite of their enemies as Hillary has done and there are those like Daschle who eventually lose and move on.
Voters know experience when they see it and hear it.
This piece is pure opinion. I think Obama's defeat was caused by election fraud and theres scientific evidence to back up that speculation (the variance with the exit polls and the fact that the votes were mainly machine counted) than there is that voters thought Obama was campaigning on inspiration alone.
And its a shallow opinion. Mr. Bai knows that Obama has lots of detailed plans and position papers. Does Mr. Bai want to make a big deal out of new reports of Clinton initiatives that are intended to gull lower income voters that she has plans to solve their problems for them?
Absolutely the best analysis of New Hampshire. I remember in those five days after Iowa, the Obama campaign felt different, less engaged, more passive than it had been in the weeks prior to Iowa. The lesson is an important one for the Obama campaign and one they should learn well if they want to beat Hillary Clinton.
I am neither a Obama supporter nor his naysayer. However, if I am to vote for Obama I refuse to be swept by the "change" speech he usually gives. I want to be convinced that he or any other candidate deserves and earns my vote. This article hits the nail on its head. Good work, Matt Bai.
New Englanders are a hard nut to crack. But I do not believe that they were "unmoved" or indifferent to Barack Obama, his candidacy or his message.
Unlike Hillary Clinton, who trots out a new 57-point plan on how to tie your shoes her way, changes her message at every turn — directly stealing from her opponents, complains of being piled on, ganged up on and otherwise "manhandled" throughout the campaign, Obama has delivered a steady and consistent message.
And contrary to the punditry's pontificating, EACH line of Obama's speeches outline what he will do as our president. And that outline — while not delivered in wonky, Washington double-speak — is backed by detailed position papers. Obama HAS given substantive speeches on foreign policy, discussed "the Obama doctrine" but the media dwells in "Barack-star Land." They trivialize on the one hand and magnify on the other.
When Bill Clinton claimed that Obama hadn't been scrutinized, only Chris Matthews showed that that wasn't true, pointing to the hour-long Meet the Press interview, among other solid interviews the candidate has given. (Remember, Bill even complained when the NYT interviewed Obama and the word "disingenous" was used to describe Clinton's wife.) The rest of us can point to the Washington Post's "Obama's Muslim Ties" story that was hardly neutral, among other less than flattering coverage. Check out the Chicago papers and media, Newsweek and Time magazines.
Up until Iowa, Clinton was proclaimed by the media the "inevitable choice." While Obama's resume was described as "thin" and those who should be looking, couldn't see outside of the hall of Washington, DC, the media took Mrs. Clinton's "35 years of experience" at face value.
When Obama held a town hall in Iowa, and a woman voter got a little testy, the Senator's response to her was that HE was the testy one.
The media wants sound bites to be replayed again and again. The snappy quote of the day that fuels the chattering masses.
I disagree that Obama's campaign is the "cause celebre" of the season. The critical difference between Dean and Bradley and Obama, is that neither Dean nor Bradley had a message that really resonated with voters. Yes, Dean was against the war, but he failed to really articulate a larger message as to what a Dean presidency would mean to Americans. Bradley, in 2000, running against the incumbent Vice President, Al Gore, faced a near impossible task of unseating him. Obama is in what should be a wide open race. Hillary Clinton is not the incumbent. Perhaps we should stop treating her as such.
I think you will see some tweaks to the Obama campaign, but not the wholesale shapeshifting that we have come to expect from Clinton and Romney. Now that this race has winnowed down to the major players, and voters know who this "Obama guy" is now, I think you'll see a sharpening of message.
What you won't see is Obama wallowing in the gutter-sniping we've seen from the Clinton campaign. Their thinly veiled racial remarks will not serve them well with the African-American voters.
Obama will convince voters that he is the right man to be President in 2009, and he won't need crocodile tears to do it.

Illegal Immigration: A 21st Century Crisis
Nov 26, 2021 | Global Citizen Blog | 0 comments
This month, we share an article that analyzes how weak policies and the global climate emergency are exacerbating the immigration crisis.
Illegal Immigration: A 21st Century Crisis.
"Tens of millions of people are expected to be displaced by 2050 because of life-threatening climate and environmental changes," writes demographer Joseph Chamie in his new analysis.
According to Mr. Chamie, governments need to address three critical questions to respond to the global illegal immigration crisis: How to address the millions of unauthorized migrants currently resident in their countries? How to respond to the millions of unauthorized migrants arriving at borders and attempting to enter? How to address the millions of people to be displaced by climate change?
"Failing to effectively address those and related issues will only exacerbate the 21st century illegal immigration crisis that will only worsen with climate change," he says.
Joseph Chamie is a consulting demographer, a former director of the United Nations Population Division and author of numerous publications on population issues

The Zenotech team is proud to have participated in another successful Uncertainty Quantification and Management (UQ&M) study group with industry. These groups bring leading academic researchers and industry figures together to solve real-world problems.
The workshop's theme was applying machine learning to issues of real value to industry, and we were there, along with CFMS, as part of the SWEPT2 Consortium. The SWEPT2 (Simulated Wake Effects Platform for Turbines) project aims to tackle the UK's energy trilemma by modelling and simulating more effective predictions of turbine array performance. The project is developing a CFD-based simulation capability, based on our zCFD code.
The wind energy teams were led by Dr Alex Diaz (University of Liverpool) and Dr Peter Brommer (University of Warwick). We are delighted to have provided secure access to over 320GB of CFD wind flow data via our cloud platform EPIC. As a result of the collaborations, we have two very credible machine learning prototypes that can support our work with the wind energy sector.
This intensive workshop was hosted by James Kermode and Peter Brommer at the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling in December 2017. It is the third workshop in the series, organised by Matt Butchers of the Knowledge Transfer Network. Other challenges were posed by AstraZeneca, HS2, and AWE. These workshops are win-win for industry and academics, challenging both to demonstrate technological solutions within tight deadlines.
For more information about zCFD and how we can work with your business, get in touch.

Q: Why IMG tag of HTML renders null on Firefox?

Why does this not render any image when I open it on firefox but does it on IE 6?

A: I bet this will work if you use a file:// URL instead of a filename.

Try that.

A: Firefox doesn't support using the "C:/"-style path.
Instead use a relative URL or a real URL to that file hosted by a web server.
IE6 does support this.

A: Firefox requires the "file:///"-prefix when referencing local files.

A: In addition to the answers above, this is likely to fail if you load your HTML from an HTTP server.

A: This is likely because you need a src attribute with a file:\\ scheme.
Try file:///C://test/tmp/imageEE3A7BA3F55BC67061FD778F1B0136D6.png in the src and see if it works.

Along with the change in government there also comes a degree of uncertainty Mexico experiences, as far as the diverse amendments every field of law may undergo.
In fiscal matters, we have many expectations that spring from the knowledge that said amendments are the basis for the State obtaining the revenues it requires. However, before going any further with a mere analysis of expectations, it is important to remember that provisions that were vacatio legis** are about to enter into force and take legal effect. One of these being a reduction in the rate of income tax from 30% to 29% for 2013, and down to a rate of 28% in 2014 (Article Second, Section II, subparagraph a) of the 2010 transitional provisions of the LISR***).
The drop in rate opens a range of opportunities for companies if they take the necessary steps for proper planning; this is also an opportunity for individuals to make the most of the benefits offered by Article 218 of the LISR to invest and defer income tax in order to pay same at a later date and at a lower rate.
All this, if our legislature does not amend said provision in the interest of achieving a greater (tax revenue) collection in order to meet the commitments acquired by the new government, which would mean the end of this benefit before it even began. As such, we must keep an eye open so that appropriate measures are set in place.

We worked as dive instructors in fantastic places like Thailand and Australia, and it was our love for the underwater world that led us to the beautiful Caribbean island of Bonaire, home of some of the best reef diving on the planet.
We came expecting to stay for a season and simply enjoy another adventure. But like so many before us, we fell in love with Bonaire's unspoilt natural beauty and slower pace of life. The climate also didn't hurt. Neither of us was in a hurry to return to winter in either the Netherlands or Ireland.
After several years as dive instructors on Bonaire, our entrepreneurial spirits urged us to set up our own business. Our commitment to sustainability and environmental conservation helped guide us to the idea of a sewing company. Every day we saw potentially re-useable resources being discarded. We saw the potential in repurposing these materials, rather than letting them go to the landfill or, worse, the bottom of the beautiful ocean.
We took the leap, quit our dive jobs and phish phaktory was born. We started sewing in our living room, but quickly outgrew that arrangement. With the help of friends (it is the island way!), we built our current workshop at El Navigante Boatyard in Hato where you can usually find us, where our pups Izzy and Beau will welcome you with a smile and a wiggle.
Now well into our fifth year, we are proud to offer a full line of guaranteed products and services – all manufactured in a sustainable and environmentally conscious way!

Son Serra de Marina and Colonia Sant Pere are two unique small resorts on the southern part of the Bay of Alcudia. Being away from the main tourist track they are popular with locals for relaxed days on the beach.
It is an unspoilt coastline, much of which is protected. Son Serra de Marina is set on a long stretch of sandy beach backed by dunes. The town is mostly made up of modern townhouses and villas, but it is low key, with no high-rise properties, a few good restaurants and some very relaxed seafront bars.
Surrounded by dramatic mountains and nature reserves, Colonia Sant Pere lies a short distance to the west of Son Serra. It is a small, still-functioning, fishing town and harbour for leisure boats. More recently it has become a resort for people seeking a break that is truly "away from it all".
Other popular locations close by include Cala Ratjada, Capdepera and Alcudia. The main town from here is Arta which is 10 to 15 minutes drive away.
Those looking for a coastal area with great beaches, a less touristy feel and lower prices might well consider Son Serra de Marina and Colonia de Sant Pere. Both towns are made up largely of newer townhouses, apartments and villas. There are a few older country houses in the surrounding countryside.
Apartments start from around €150,000, townhouses from €280,000 and smaller villas from €550,000. Country houses can be bought from around €650,000. The most sought-after properties have open sea views.

Pietricaggio est une commune française située dans la circonscription départementale de la Haute-Corse et le territoire de la collectivité de Corse. Elle appartient à l'ancienne piève d'Alesani.

Géographie

Urbanisme

Typologie
Pietricaggio est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.
La commune est en outre hors attraction des villes.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des forêts et milieux semi-naturels (100 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (100,1 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
forêts (87,3 %), espaces ouverts, sans ou avec peu de végétation (12,2 %), milieux à végétation arbustive et/ou herbacée (0,5 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Histoire

Le village parait avoir joué un rôle important au  siècle où il y avait une famille caporalice. Plusieurs habitants sont cités par le chroniqueur Filippini durant les guerres de Sampiero Corso.

Q: bash ps1 only executes a script once on new terminal windows I have a very simple ps1 script in my .bashrc file, this excutes a random script generator called blah.
export PS1="\[$(tput bold)\]\[$(tput setaf 1)\]\\$  \[$(tput sgr0)\] $PWD :: **$(. blah)** ::"

the blah script simply should export a random string each time in the shell....
function silly {
     local RANDOMQUOTE=$[ ($RANDOM % 10 ) ] local fooey=('rand1' 'rand2' 'rand3' 'rand4' 'rand5');
     echo ${fooey[RANDOMQUOTE]}
}

silly

However it seems this script is only excuted each time I create a new window in iterm, and of course this means the script is no longer random!
Example of the random function not being called each time:
$   /Users/username :: rand2 ::
$   /Users/username :: rand2 ::
$   /Users/username :: rand2 ::
$   /Users/username :: rand2 ::

Am I doing something wrong here? Just starting to learn bash so apologies for lack of terminology, edit at will!

A: As said in Single/double quotes ksh:

The "$PWD" resolves immediately. (...) When you set to '$PWD', it does
  not resolve immediately, so it resolves when used, and changes when
  you change directories.

So change
export PS1="[$(tput bold)][$(tput setaf 1)]\$ [$(tput sgr0)] $PWD :: $(. blah) ::"

for
export PS1='[$(tput bold)][$(tput setaf 1)]\$ [$(tput sgr0)] $PWD :: $(. blah) ::'

That is, PS1='<code>' instead of PS1="<code>".

Tombeau Des Askia
Gao, Mali
The Tomb of Askia, in Gao, Mali, is believed to be the burial place of Askia Mohammad I, one of the Songhai Empire's most prolific emperors. It was built at the end of the fifteenth century and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
UNESCO describes the tomb as a fine example of the monumental mud-building traditions of the West African Sahel. The complex includes the pyramidal tomb, two mosques, a cemetery and an assembly ground. At 17 metres in height it is the largest pre-colonial architectural monument in the region. It is the first example of an Islamic architectural style that later spread throughout the region.
Askia is in regular use as a mosque and a publicly owned cultural centre for the city of Gao. The site and a buffer area around it are protected by both national and local laws.

Takeoff Jokes
Two physicians boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before takeoff, an attorney got on and took the aisle seat next to the two physicians.
The attorney kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the physician in the window seat said," I think I'll get up and get a coke."
"No problem," said the attorney, "I'll get it for you."
While he was gone, one of the physicians picked up the attorney's shoe and s...

Q: Simplify the expression by using a Double-Angle Formula or a Half-Angle Formula.
Simplify the expression by using a Double-Angle Formula or a Half-Angle Formula.
(a) $\cos^2 \left( \cfrac{θ}{2} \right)− \sin^2 \left( \cfrac{θ}{2} \right)$
(b) $2 \sin \left( \cfrac{θ}{2} \right) \cos \left( \cfrac{θ}{2} \right) $

This is what I got: $$ (A) \ \cos 2 \left( \cfrac{θ}{2} \right) $$
$$(B) \ \sin 2 \left( \cfrac{θ}{2} \right) $$
However, the computer program I am using says that I am wrong. What is the right answer?

A: You are correct, except you need to note that the factor of $2$ in $\cos 2\left(\frac\theta 2\right)$ multiplies the angle: $$\cos 2\left(\frac\theta 2\right)=\cos \left(2\cdot \frac \theta 2\right) = \cos \theta$$
Similarly $$\sin 2\left(\frac \theta 2\right) = \sin\left(2\cdot \frac \theta 2\right) = \sin \theta$$

A: $$\cos^2 \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)− \sin^2 \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)=\cos \left(2\cdot\frac{\theta}{2}\right)=\cos\theta$$
$$2 \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \cos\left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)=\sin \left(2\cdot\frac{\theta}{2}\right)=\sin\theta$$


HOUSTON — The Astros on Saturday added outfielder Myles Straw to the big-league roster with one primary objective: to utilize his exceptional speed on the basepaths as a pinch-runner.
He may have the opportunity to continue doing that Sunday, when Houston hosts the Arizona Diamondbacks in the finale of their three-game series.
Over 131 games across two levels in the minors, Straw posted 70 stolen bases and an 88.6 percent success rate. He produced 35 steals apiece for Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Fresno.
"Speed is the most obvious thing that he adds," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "You get into the type of (pennant) race that we're in, you get into playoff-caliber baseball, any small advantage can be a big advantage. He's an elite baserunner. His instincts are good, he's a good outfielder.
By limiting his responsibilities, the Astros (93-55), who evened the interleague set with a 10-4 victory Saturday, believe Straw can adjust quickly.
Right-hander Justin Verlander (15-9, 2.72 ERA) will start the series finale for the Astros. Verlander has posted 10 double-digit strikeout games this season and is 11 strikeouts shy of matching his single-season high of 269 set in 2009 with the Detroit Tigers.
He is 3-1 with a 2.36 ERA over four career starts against Arizona, including a 3-1 loss on May 6 at Chase Field when he surrendered two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over six innings. Verlander is 2-0 with a 1.93 ERA and 18 strikeouts over 14 innings this month.
The Diamondbacks (78-71) will counter with right-hander Zack Greinke (14-9, 3.11 ERA). Greinke is 7-2 with a 2.75 ERA over his last 11 road starts and 5-4 with a 2.43 ERA in his last 11 interleague starts.
He is 6-2 with a 2.24 ERA over 10 career starts against the Astros. He did not factor into the decision May 5 when he allowed one run on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in a 4-3 victory at Chase Field.
Arizona on Saturday selected right-hander Randall Delgado from Triple-A Reno and placed right-hander Clay Buchholz on the 60-day disabled list (right elbow flexor strain). Delgado appeared in six games for the Diamondbacks this season, going 2-0 with a 5.14 ERA before being designated for assignment July 25, released six days later, and re-signed to a minor league contract Aug. 18. He posted a 0.93 ERA over five games with Reno after his signing before finishing with a 2.00 ERA in 13 contests.
"We're all super excited to have him back," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. "We need an arm and he had been keeping himself in shape and talking about going to winter ball.
The Diamondbacks are four games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West and 3 1/2 back of Colorado for the final NL wild-card spot.


In 1989 Ben Zwirn, a Democrat, was elected supervisor in our town. The town had been Republican controlled before that since the early 1900s. The town has been essentially Democratically controlled since 1989. With the development of North Hills in the 1980s the registration figures tilted in favor of Democrats and Independents as swing voters. Gradually the Democrats took over all four Council seats; the positions of town clerk and receiver of taxes.
In 2000, Peter I. Cavallaro was the Republican leader in North Hempstead and a trustee in the village. He is an attorney and now our highly regarded mayor. He and Francis X. Maroney, Esq. also a very able attorney with a distinguished record of public service as a former councilman and counsel to the legislature's majority and former Republican leader, came to see me with a proposal to make me a member of the Town of North Hempstead Councilmattic Commission. Their goal was to create two additional council seats and, with the one seat the Republicans already had, this potentially would balance the voting among councilmembers if the Republicans could capture the two new councilseats. They made an appealing argument by catering to my interest in civil rights. Frank was especially endearing by saying to me "It has been your life's work." I made it clear that I would endeavor to support six council districts but one of them would have to be a minority district. To their credit, they agreed. I was appointed to the Councilmattic Commission.
Once I arrived, I quickly learned that I was in the minority. There was one other Republican, a former town councilman and the Chair of the Conservative Party. Observing that there was only one woman on the Commission and no African Americans, I advocated for the reconstitution of the Commission. Democrats did not favor increasing the number of council seats. Sharon Gianelli, now an outstanding Supreme Court Justice from Westbury and Rudy Clarke, a former Westbury School Board member and both African Americans, were added to the Commission. Sharon is a Democrat and Rudy, since deceased, was a Republican.
With the aid of Peter and Frank, we issued a minority report urging the establishment of six council districts. In a special referendum, the voters of North Hempstead approved the establishment of six districts, one of which became known as a "Minority District." Councilwoman Viviana Russell occupies that seat, having just been re-elected to another term.
The establishment of six council seats was a historic event. The voters of North Hempstead who voted for six districts can be very proud. The minority voters throughout the town now have one of their own as a voice in Town Hall.

This article consists of all of the philosophical quotes featured in the laptop game Civilization IV. When your civilization discovers a new technology, a relevant quote pops up and is read by Leonard Nimoy. The unity of the method is self contained in the lab, and it demonstrates the common idea, but in relation to stargate technologies its like comparing a machette to a scalpel.

The contributors to this volume proceed on the assumption that crucial engagement with religion and technologies remains an incomplete process and that there is in fact lots of area for additional documentation, comparison, and, above all, reflection. For a specifically serviceable overview of the history of the word technology," see Carl Mitcham, Thinking By way of Technology: The Path Between Engineering and Philosophy (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1994).
Some of the contributors to Deus in Machina explicitly align the objects of their study with magic in order to provoke a reconsideration of the terms on which technologies is supposed to be divided from the supernatural, although others seek alternative signifies of calling instrumentalist presumptions into query. In this respect a few words are also required to clarify some of the ambitions, as well as the limits, of a study of religion and technology that adopts a comparative, historical, and cross-cultural perspective.
In different methods each of these veins of essential believed has been concerned to transcend the distinction between (authentic) humans and (inauthentic) instruments and machines as presumed by (at least a version of) Heidegger and other critics of the technicity of technologies. As part of a project to rethink the terms on which religion and technology can be related to one particular one more, Deus in Machina hence casts its net widely in order to permit for the discovery of hybrids in both anticipated and unexpected locations. David F. Noble, The Religion of Technology: The Divinity of Man and the Spirit of Invention (New York: Albert A. Knopf, 1997).
It is regrettably commonplace, nevertheless, that commentators on religion and technology readily confuse specific narratives about the historical emergence of contemporary European and American science, biomedicine, industrial production, and military supremacy with a transcultural, normative account of technological alter and modern fate. See, for instance, Robert Merton, Research in the Sociology of Science," in idem, Social Theory and Social Structure, rev.

There's nothing like realising you're out of tampons and having to stuff your knickers with tissue paper to put you on a downer. Running out of sanitary products is inconvenient and stressful. Luckily, you're a clever girl: you know that your Pink Parcel box is packed with enough products for the month, including those all-important night-time pads. Make sure you remember to pack them! The handy pouch is perfect for fitting into your day bag, meaning you'll never have to trek back to your tent for supplies.
Periods are by nature a messy business (and there's nothing wrong with that). But when you're spending the weekend sleeping in a flooded field with thousands of drunk maniacs, it can be inconvenient. Hand sanitiser and femfresh wipes are your new best friends, whether you're on your period or not.
Femfresh is a pH balanced intimate skincare range which has been gynaecologically and dermatologically tested and won't strip your skin of its natural defences. Bring a plastic bag to dispose of used sanitary products too – for those times when you CBA to leave the tent.
It's super important to follow manufacturer guidelines for replacing pads and tampons to prevent the risk of leaks and more serious conditions like Toxic Shock Syndrome. Set an alarm on your phone to go off as a reminder – then you can get back to enjoying the festival vibes.
The best thing about being at a music festival? There are no rules! Do what you feel like: if your body is telling you to take a nap, go for it, no excuses necessary. Lay off the booze for the heaviest days of your flow and if you do indulge, stock up on plenty of water to rehydrate. It's a good idea to bring some painkillers to tackle cramps too.
A headtorch will help you navigate the dreaded portaloos at night, when changing your towels or tampons will be trickier. Extra pants are a must for those annoying leaks. If you're feeling super paranoid, bring a spare towel (or better yet – a cheap plastic poncho) to sleep on for your heaviest flow days. But don't stress: leaks happen, it's completely normal and when everyone else is covered in mud and three days worth of sweat, it won't matter.

Recycling 101: How to avoid common mistakes & where you can recycle in metro Detroit
Earth Day is a time to celebrate our planet and talk about meaningful solutions to better protect it.
By: Jenn Schanz
(WXYZ) — Earth Day is a time to celebrate our planet and talk about meaningful solutions to better protect it.
One area people often concentrate on during these conversations is recycling; it's something everyone can do every day to take action and reduce their waste.
Currently, Michigan has a recycling rate of around 18 percent according to EGLE, with a goal of reaching 30 percent by 2025. We're trailing behind the national average of 32 percent according to the EPA.
To get a sense of the most common recycling mistakes in Michigan, and what we can do in metro Detroit to improve the process, we visited a material recovery facility (MRF) in Troy.
You won't believe some of the crazy things that wind up at the Southeastern Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority (SOCRRA).
Supervisor Lucas Dean says he's seen everything from bowling balls to animal remains.
"During hunting season we see deer carcasses, deer heads," Dean told Action News.
SOCRRA is where recyclables from Berkley, Beverly Hills, Birmingham, Clawson, Ferndale, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Lathrup Village, Oak Park, Pleasant Ridge, Royal Oak, and Troy go to be sorted before they're sent to a mill to be re-purposed.
Michigan doesn't have a centralized recycling system, so it's important to check with your local municipality or recycling facility to learn what is and is not acceptable for recycling.
"It comes to me and then I have to work to get rid of it, to sell it," Dean said.
The price mills offer for recyclables like paper, plastics, and glass changes every month and overall, Dean says is going up.
In order to make money, he has to ship and sell in bulk. Take plastics for example; identified by really long complicated names like Polyethylene Terephthalate or Low-Density Polyethylene and assigned a number 1 thru 7.
But here's what you, the consumer, really need to know:
Plastics 1-2 are, generally speaking, pretty easy to recycle. Make sure they're rinsed, clean, and have caps on and you and toss those in your bin at home.
But 3-7s, items like a plastic ketchup bottle, fast food cup, plastic clothes hanger, or an ice cream container, can take longer to collect at SOCRRA and despite being recyclable, are often harder to find buyers for. Those can also go in your bin at home.
"If the packaging people would talk to the mills, that would help out," Dean said on how to expand recycling and make it easier for consumers to re-use.
A new program through EGLE called NextCycle is aiming to accomplish that by expanding the state's recycling and recovery supply chain.
"We're connecting those packaging manufacturers and the brands of the companies that make the things that we all buy with opportunities to support recycling," said recycling market development specialist at Michigan EGLE, Matt Flechter.
According to EGLE, already in 2020 and 2021, $97 million is being committed to recycling projects through partners that in addition to Meijer include: Henry Ford Health System, GFL Environmental, Carton Council of North America, Goodwill Industries, Keurig Dr Pepper, Foodservice Packaging Institute, U.S. Business Council for Sustainable Development, Emterra Environmental, Washtenaw County, Great Lakes Tissue and more than 30 Michigan companies, organizations and nonprofits.
The program is looking to continue to expand. Interested partners can click here.
Dean says in order to improve the state's recycling report card, consumers also have to play a role.
Things like pizza boxes, as long as they're not covered in cheese or grease, can be recycled by being brought to the SOCRRA facility 995 Coolidge, Troy, MI (between 14 Mile and Maple). Dean recommends people do not throw these directly in their bin.
He has the same advice for Styrofoam, which will likely get broken up and thus won't be able to be reused if simply tossed in your bin at home. A similar warning for batteries; if they're dropped in your bin at home and then delivered to SOCRRA, they're going in a landfill. Dean suggests batteries also be delivered right to SOCRRA.
Due to COVID-19, appointments are required at the SOCRRA drop-off site, and certain items require you are a resident of one of the member communities.
Click here to make an appointment.
Due to the pandemic, staffing at SOCRRA is down by about half and some of the sorting lines have had to slow down. Pre-pandemic, they were sorting about 15 tons per hour, but now are down to around 13.5.
Things like face masks, which SOCRRA staff has seen a lot of lately - are not recyclable. Also not recyclable? Latex gloves, IV tubes, and garden hoses.
And then there are the infamous plastic grocery store bags, or as Dean calls them - "film" which can clog up the machines at SOCRRA. "Film" is technically recyclable, but no longer at SOCRRA. He suggests bringing it to a grocery store like Meijer or Kroger to recycle.
"I might have an item, it might have a recycling symbol on it and I've just tossed it in the bin thinking oh it's recyclable," explained Jill Greenberg with EGLE. She's talking about "wish-cycling," something we've all likely done before. Throwing something in the recycling bin, assuming we've done our part for the planet.
But because cities have different rules and procedures for how and what they recycle, it's important to check with that individual municipality or recycling center if you're dropping it off yourself.
At SOCRRA, try Waste Wizard -- a tool right on its website's home page where you can type in the name of an item, and it will tell you how to properly dispose or recycle it.
The state also has a tool on it's website.
"If you put number 6 plastic in your recycling bin and your collecting program doesn't take it, then you're creating, you're adding additional costs," Flechter said.


Grambling State University, an HBCU in Louisiana, has named a new president following the controversial ouster of Dr. Willie Larkin, former chief of staff to the president of Baltimore's Morgan State University, after less than a year at the helm.
This time, the University of Louisiana System (ULS) Board of Supervisors went with a native son, former Louisiana state senator and state representative Richard J. Gallot Jr. The Board also interviewed former Tuskegee University President Dr. Gilbert Rochon.
Gallot's returning to Grambling is like coming full circle. He graduated from the university in 1987 with a bachelor's degree in art and history. Additionally, he is the son former Grambling mayor Richard Gallot Sr., and Mildred Gauthier Gallot, former head of GSU's History Department.
Current Grambling Mayor Edward Jones, who grew up on the same block with the newly named university president, praised his parents for raising a good son by example at a recent church service held to celebrate Gallot's new assignment.
Gallot is Grambling's 10th president in 25 years, a retention rate that was a point of deep concern to the ULS Board of Supervisors and others.
Larkin, the ninth president, resigned June 23 after a vote of no confidence by the Faculty Senate in February. At the time, the faculty said Larkin was not doing enough to address the barrage of troubles facing the school, including declining enrollment, decimated programs and a budgetary crisis, and had not sufficiently engaged them in finding solutions.
At least one Larkin supporter said detractors may have been too hard and too hasty in their judgment of the previous administrator.
"I am quite disappointed that he was not given a fair chance nor enough time," GSU alumnus Fredrick Pinkney, a member of Gov. John Bel Edwards' transition team for Higher Education, said in a statement. "The constant change is disheartening.

Serena Williams' ASB Classic pay debate not so simple
Serena Williams. WGP PHOTO/PHOTOSPORT HBG
By: Michael Burgess
Sports writer for NZME

It must be the silly season.
The idea, floated by the YWCA, of Serena or Venus Williams - or whoever wins the ASB Classic women's event in the first week of January - banking the same amount as the winner of the men's tournament the following week, betrays a misunderstanding of current tennis economics.
Leaving aside the obvious fact that the two tournaments are separate events run by separate organisations that set their own prize money levels, it's also not feasible given current market conditions in the sport.
The YWCA launched their #matchthemoney campaign on Saturday, calling for the organisers of the ASB Classic tournaments to close a pay gap that is "one of the biggest in the country."
It's a clever ploy by the YWCA, using the uber-famous Williams sisters imminent presence in Auckland as a hook to get the widest possible publicity for their wider pay parity campaign.
Pay Parity is an ongoing issue in New Zealand, and any number of surveys indicates that the gap has yet to close in this country, and on average women earn 14 per cent less an hour than men.
The situation in New Zealand is better than in many other nations - take a look at the situation in Asia or South America - but nowhere near where it should be.
But it would have been good if YWCA CEO Monica Briggs and her colleagues had done even a smattering of research, instead of tossing out an idea that looks like it has been hatched over a lunch break.
If they had bothered to investigate, they would have stumbled across a couple of salient points that quickly unravel their arguments.
If the WTA (women's) tour started matching the prize money paid out by the ATP (men's) tour, there might be short term gain for long term pain.
Burgess: Del Potro withdrawal no surprise
Tennis equal pay petition launched
Venus set to join Serena at ASB Classic
Serena & Venus to play All Black brothers
The WTA tour would get into financial trouble, meaning there would be less professional tennis events for women. Hardly an ideal result.
Broadly speaking, each tennis tour pays what it can afford, as a dividend of broadcasting, sponsorship, merchandise and ticketing money.
For a variety of reasons, the ATP tour generates more revenue than the WTA tour at the moment; hence it is able to offer more prize money at most of its events throughout the year.
Until that changes - and it may well one day - the status quo will remain.
Tennis is also a strange sport to target, given it is much closer to pay parity than almost other any sport, including equal pay at the biggest tournaments of the year, notably the four grand slams.
Think about this - seven of the top 10 highest earning sportswomen on the planet in 2015 were tennis players, including four of the top five.
In contrast, look at the earnings disparity in football for example, or basketball or cricket. What about the gender pay imbalance in rugby, which received considerable airtime around the time of the Rio Olympics?
Even in golf, where Lydia Ko banked considerably less for winning a major than her male equivalent.
And whichever way you spin it, Serena, Venus and all of their female colleagues do very well out of each grand slam fortnight, given they play best of three set matches compared to the men's best of five.
In winning the 2016 Wimbledon title, Serena Williams banked GBP 133,333 ($238,112) per set played, while men's champion Andy Murray took home GBP 86,960 ($155,208) per set played.
It was a similar story at this year's Australian Open, with Angelique Kerber earning A$125,000 ($130,346) per set played while Novak Djokovic trousered A$83,330 ($86,894) per set played.
The YWCA should continue to attack the issue - it's a very important one - but perhaps find a different sport to target.

From James Philip Mansel Weale [25 May 1870]1
description.
The Periglossum I was also uncertain about but think it may be "macrum' as that species is spoken of as a Kaffrarian plant but I have no description.2
Our present house is so small that I have been unable to open any of my collections or I had intended sending you some larvæ of Dactylethra & the bee's nest spoken of before.3
I am trying the introduction of English & other grass seeds on my farm & hope they will prove successful. It is most singular to see how some weeds take hold of the ground where manure is in plenty about old sheep kraals especially Xanthium spinosum, Datura stramonium, a solanum & numerous other plants. The French marygold I have never remarked before as a weed but here it grows abundantly & bears magnificent double flowers finer than I have seen in any garden.4
Revd. Mr. Henslow's remarks on Medicago, Indigofera &c. & my own observations on Schizanthus, Muraltia &c I have carefully watched various species of Polygala but have never noticed any movements.5
I have been much interested by observing a common species of Termes,6 the soldier of which has a pointed head. I have often remarked that a species of ant was always very active about their nests seizing the workers, but although much larger, retreated at once from the soldiers. As I had several times put my hand into a nest with the view of ascertaining whether the soldiers could hurt one I was the more surprised as I had never suffered any inconvenience although other species bite severely for their size, & the workers of this species have what look like formidable jaws although they never use them in defence: At last I found out the secret. I saw one

The date is established by CD's annotation.
Periglossum macrum is now Sisyranthus macer; Kaffraria was a region on the eastern coast of South Africa, between Natal and Cape Colony; it became part of Cape Colony in 1865 (Stewart 1996).
The genus Dactylethra is now Xenopus (clawed frogs). The reference to Weale's previous mention of a bee's nest has not been identified. However, Weale enclosed with this letter a manuscript paper about a bee's nest that has not been found, and four other manuscript papers, with figures and specimens of the plants described, that are now in the archives of the Linnean Society (MSS SP1250, SP1251, SP1252, SP1253, Weale Misc, drawer 39). See letter to Richard Kippist, 28 July 1870, and letter to J. P. M. Weale, 30 July 1870. The four extant papers were published in the Journal of the Linnean Society (Weale 1870a, 1870b, 1870c, and 1870d). None of the figures were published, and Weale 1870c was substantially cut by CD.
Xanthium spinosum is the spiny cocklebur; Datura stramonium is the thorn apple or jimsonweed. Solanaceae is the potato family. The French marigold is Tagetes patula.
George Henslow's observations on Medicago sativa (alfalfa) and Indigofera were published in the Journal of the Linnean Society (Botany) 9 (1867): 327–9 and 355–8 (G. Henslow 1865 and 1866). Weale discussed movement in the stamens of Muraltia in a letter of 7 July 1867 (Correspondence vol. 15); he described irritability of the stamens in Schizanthus in a letter of 23 October 1868 (Correspondence vol. 16).
Termes is a genus of the family Termitidae (higher termites).

Petition - Use of disposable barbecues
– in the House of Commons at 7:31 pm on 30th June 2020.
All Commons debates on 30 Jun 2020
Julian Lewis Conservative, New Forest East 7:31 pm, 30th June 2020
As I am sure you know, Madam Deputy Speaker, single-use barbecues are designed to be disposable but are causing great risk to the forest environment, and local laws and regulations to prohibit and restrict their use have proved extremely difficult, if not impossible, to enforce.
The petition states:
The Petition of Kate Collison and Janette Duke, residents of the New Forest District in Hampshire,
Declares that the use of disposable barbecues and their careless abandonment are a proven cause of wild fires;
further declares that such wild fires not only risk human life but also cause devastation to wildlife and their habitat;
notes that single use disposable barbecues comprise a tin foil tray filled with impregnated "easy light" charcoal with a wire mesh over;
further notes that they are lightweight, can easily be carried to beauty spots, wildlife reserves, and beaches, and can be purchased for as little as £1.99 per unit;
further notes they have no integral frame support so can be sat directly on the ground causing damage once lit;
further notes they emit dangerous carbon monoxide fumes not only during use but also during the cooling process;
further notes that whilst they are easy to carry prior to use they are almost impossible to carry away for many hours after use whilst they remain hot, meaning they are often left as litter with devastating consequences;
further notes reports that fire services across the country have shown that these abandoned barbecues have been found in the areas where devastating fires have occurred, for example, Wareham Forest, which in May 2020, despite the efforts of 150 firefighters, burned for more than 3 days and devastated 470 acres of heath and woodland, with 11 portable barbecues subsequently found in the burn area;
further notes that Chinese sky lanterns, which can pose a similar threat to wildlife and their habitat, were once seen as acceptable but are now recognised as irresponsible and dangerous;
and further notes the related Change.org petitions on this matter from the same petitioners, which collectively have over 9,000 signatures.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to consider a ban on the sale of single use disposable barbecues within the United Kingdom.
And the petitioners remain, etc.

Galaxians
2017 Rewind: Galaxians
December 28, 2017 Yehouda Silverman Leave a Comment
How was 2017 for you?
Matt Woodward: In terms of Galaxians a really memorable one. It's important to feel like the band has momentum, that we're moving forward. I never like feeling static especially when it comes to music so it's important to feel a sense of movement and flux I think. Writing good music is always the key to a sense of achievement, year on year. I'd say that we always like to look forward and to feel excited about what might be coming next.
Highlights?
The release of our first album and our first tour as a trio. This year has been a year of new achievements which feel pretty major, I guess. We've stretched out a bit, made our first proper album, a pop video, stuff like that. On a personal level touring is the highlight of any year as it presents opportunities to meet new people and make new friends, and to experience cultures outside your own. Music can be a great facilitator of adventure.
Lowlights?
I prefer to concentrate on the positives and look forward in general, to focus my energies into creating the next highlights and to not dwell or obsess too much on the lowlights. That's not to say I choose to ignore the not-so-good stuff, because I think that's folly!
Song of the year?
There's always far too much good music to discover or re-discover for me to choose a single favourite song in any given year! Plus, I go through phases where I don't buy any brand new music for a while, just older stuff. That could mean anything from a year to 30 years. And I like different songs for different reasons so it's not really the case that one song is better than another but just different. At the moment I am giving the song "Sauchiehall Withdrawal" by Golden Teacher some serious rotation though.
Don't believe in them. Imposing things like that on one's self just creates pressure and anxiety. I prefer to just try and work on things I want to improve in my own life if and when and as much as I can year to year. One thing I would like to do is to start being less of a coward about things I should speak up about and try not to let fear dominate my actions as much. In terms of bands I guess I always want to try and do more, whether that means playing more shows, starting another band or project, or deejaying more, or whatever. Just more good stuff, generally, always.
