Q: Examples of plane algebraic curves There are many interesting sequences of polynomials which contain
polynomials of arbitrarily high degree, for example classical
orthogonal polynomials. Most of them arise as characteristic polynomials
of some sequences of operators, or as polynomial solutions
of some differential equations.

What are some natural specific
sequences of plane (affine or projective) algebraic
curves which contain curves of arbitrarily high degree and genus?

One such example is Fermat's curves $x^n+y^n=1$. Lissajous
(a.k.a. Chebyshev)
curves are of arbitrary degree but they have zero genus.  Sequences of hyperelliptic curves occur in the theory of integrable systems. What else?
I looked to the Catalog of Plane curves by D. Lawrence (Dover, 2014)
and to the book of Brieskorn and Knörrer, Plane algebraic curves,
and found only Lissajous curves, epitrochoids and
hypotrochoids (all of genus zero) as examples of arbitrarily high degree.
I understand that many examples can be constructed. But I am asking on some naturally occuring sequences, whatever it can mean. Of some historical significance or appearing in applications.
EDIT. Thanks to all who answered or commented. I am not marking this question as "answered" for a while, hoping for more examples. Of course, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_modular_curve>classical modular curves belong here, thanks to Felipe Voloch.
Let me mention my motivation for this question. For some time I am studying what can be called "Lamé modular curves" (surprisingly, there is no established name for them). Lamé functions
are solutions of Lamé's differential equation whose squares are polynomials. Existence of
such a solution imposes a polynomial equation connecting the modulus of the
torus $J$ and an "accessory parameter". These polynomials define a family of plane affine algebraic curves
which contains curves of arbitrary degree and genus, and their coefficients are integers.

A: The caustic by n-th order reflection from the circle was advanced by Francois Ziegler in a comment. It is indeed known to be algebraic. As pointed out, the caustic curve of n-th order reflection from arbitrary point sources (including at infinity) was derived by Holditch "On the nth Caustic, by Reflexion from a Circle", The Quarterly Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, vol. 2, London, 1858, pp. 301–322. This paper does include a proof that his class of curves is indeed algebraic (see p. 322 section "The Equation").
Sadly this contribution is somewhat underappreciated/overlooked leading to rediscoveries of partial results later on. For example, the case of parallel light rays (source at infinity) and the point source of the light rays on the circle for arbitrary order of reflections has been rediscovered and shown to be algebraic by Bromwich "The Caustic, by Reflection, of a Circle." American Journal of Mathematics, 1904, Vol 26, 33-44. Specifically pp. 43-44. As Bromwich points out these cases are equivalent to epitrochoids with given radius relations.
As a word of caution regarding the naturality of the Holditch caustic. Rays reflect at different lengths as order increases. This introduces a discrepancy in order between rays in the ray bundle. So the equality of order in Holditch's derivation is not physical if one accounts for traveling distance (say via finite traveling speed). Hence the nth order reflection curve according to Holditch has to be broken down into different order segments to achieve a physical caustic. In short, the Holditch caustics contain all the information needed to recover the physical phenomena, but there is a need for accounting for reflection order discrepancies (see Essl "Computation of wave fronts on a disk I: numerical experiments." Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science 161 (2006): 25-41.)
Given any algebraic curve as reflector, Josse and Pene ("On the degree of caustics by reflection." Communications in Algebra 42.6 (2014): 2442-2475.) give the order of the caustic by reflection being an algebraic curve. This gives a different handle on the order of the algebraic curve. While the order of the Holditch caustic is directly related to the order of reflection, here it enters as the order of the reflector.

A: What you call Fermat curves, are also referred to as Lamé curves, since Lamé proposed these as tools for physics, in particular crystals.  I started using them in the 1990s to describe the shapes of plants.  Recently we tested this on many botanical samples, see e.g.

A: I doubt this is what you seek, but the minimal polynomial for a packing of $n$
congruent disks in a square can have arbitrarily high degree:

Szabó, Péter Gábor, Mihály Csaba Markót, and Tibor Csendes. "Global optimization in geometry—Circle packing into the square." In Essays and Surveys in Global Optimization, pp. 233-265. Springer, Boston, MA, 2005. PDF download.

The minimal polynomial for $n=13$. p.17 of Szabó et al.

The minimal polynomial is derived from a series of quadratic equations describing
the circle contacts.
Whether these polynomials are "naturally occurring" is a judgement call.

A: How about the affine plane curves $\Phi_n(c,t)=0$ that classify $(c,t)$ such that $t$ is a point of exact period $n$ under iteration of the quadratic map $f_c(X)=X^2+c$? These are often called dynatomic curves and have been much studied in recent years, especially since describing their rational points is related to the dynamnical uniform boundedness conjecture. These curves are irreducible (Bousch) and there is a nice formula for their genus (Morton) showing the genus goes to infinity. There is even some work (Poonen, Doyle, ...) showing that the gonality also grows. For the basic construction, you can see for example Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of my book The Arithmetic of Dynamical Systems. More generally, people study the dynatomic curves for $X^d+c$.
(I've cheated a little, one needs to include a few extra points on the curve where the point $t$ has "formal period $n$," but actual period smaller than $n$. This is Milnor's terminology.)

Ever wondered what life would be like without our nifty little electronic devices? We sleep with smart phones within reach, exercise with smartwatches, spend half our lives glued to gaming consoles, and take notes on electronic notepads.
Since the dot com boom (that seems like an eternity ago, doesn't it?), technology has been growing at an unprecedented speed. It seems like we wake up to the news of some new innovation or the other every day.
Education systems around the world have embraced these changes. Since 1998, e-learning has become an integral part of Learning and Development (L&D). E-learning has quickly grown into one of the fastest-growing markets in the world; since 2000, it has grown by 900%.
In India, the e-learning market has the highest growth rate – 52%, and this upward trend is expected to continue.
Thanks to technology, the e-learning world has had some revolutionary developments on a regular basis. Let's take a look at the impact they could have on education in the coming years.
There's simply no denying it; games are way more fun than boring lectures.
Many organisations are moving towards the gamification of their T&D (Training and Development) sessions. Employees enjoy themselves playing these games, even as they acquire knowledge through them. Using this technique, organisations can motivate their employees by incorporating leaderboards, points, and level progressions into their training process.
Along with their current distance learning programmes, organisations can now adopt gamification as a core L&D methodology.
A similar process can also be included in school curriculums, where frequent tests can be conducted through interactive online quizzes. Students level up every time they score 90% or so in a test; this gamification makes for a more involved and engaging learning process.
Clouds Are Where It's At!
Everything is on 'the cloud,' and education is no exception. A cloud-based system is a win-win situation for the students as well as the teachers.
Students can access books, notes, and other educational material on the go, while teachers can track a student's progress in real time.
Cloud-based systems are cost efficient, high on security, and easily upgradable. These features make it a fitting addition to the education system.
It's 2016, and you can learn at home, on the bus, and even in bed. Mobile phones are ubiquitous in the true sense of the word. Because of their enormous potential as a learning tool, m-learning now has a strong foothold in the e-learning market, and is poised to become a USD 37.8 million industry by 2020.
Cutting edge organisations are including m-learning as an important part of their L&D process. As developers customise learning programs to fit on those tiny screens, m-learning becomes bigger by the day.
No, students won't be stopping bullets with Neo anytime soon.
However, virtual reality is entering the e-learning arena as well. Augmented reality gadgets like the Oculus Rift and Google Glass provide a platform to learn in a simulated environment, Matrix-style.
These 4 innovations are some key examples of technology and learning embracing each other to take e-learning to new heights.
These are merely the tip of the iceberg though. Change really is the only constant, and new developments in technology are radically changing the education system even as you read this: the future looks good for the e-learning world!

Andorra is nestled high in the Pyrénées Mountains on the French-Spanish border.
A parliamentary coprincipality composed of the bishop of Urgel (Spain) and the president of France. Their representatives are listed above. The principality was internationally recognized as a sovereign state in 1993.
An autonomous and semi-independent coprincipality, Andorra has been under the joint suzerainty of the French state and the Spanish bishops of Urgel since 1278. It maintains closer ties to Spain, however, and Catalán is its official language. In the late 20th century, Andorra became a popular tourist and winter sports destination and a wealthy international commercial center because of its banking facilities, low taxes, and lack of customs duties. In 1990 Andorra approved a customs union treaty with the EU permitting free movement of industrial goods between the two, but with Andorra applying the EU's external tariffs to third countries. Andorra became a member of the UN in 1993 and a member of the Council of Europe in 1994. In 2002, Andorra shut down an incinerator that was emitting 1,000 times the dioxin levels permitted by the EU.
On June 3, 2009, Jaume Bartumeu was elected the new head of government with 14 votes in the the 28-seat Parliament.

Dehydrated lime peel is obtained from the Key, Mexican or West Indian lime. Dehydrated lime is the "zest" of the lime and it is called for in many marinades. Lime peel has a sour, tart smell and is matched by a bitter sweet flavor.
Citrus fruits are native to Southeast Asia and have been cultivated there for more than 4,000 years. Some of the oldest known Oriental literature contains references to citrus fruits.
It is essential to Caribbean and South American cuisine as well as many Middle Eastern recipes. Use slightly less or equal amounts of dried lime peel versus fresh as reconstituting can increase the size. To reconstitute, simply soak in warm water for 15 minutes.
This dried zest is bright and citrusy with bitter notes and pairs well with honey, cumin, coriander, and chiles.
Try with chicken, pork, marinades, and dressings. Use slightly less or equal amounts versus fresh as reconstituting can increase the size. Reconstitute by soaking in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes.


Why Did You Start Writing Fiction?
Some Christians view fiction as the opposite of truth. But sometimes it opens eyes to the truth more effectively than nonfiction. Fiction definitely appeals to a broader audience. I started writing fiction to reach those who would not pick up an issues-oriented book, but who wanted to read a story. I was able to weave God's truth throughout the story line.
Hopefully, my heart and message come across through my fiction. It's been encouraging to hear from many people whose views on issues have drastically changed through reading one of my novels.


Hurricane Florence, its torrential rains, and the historic flooding it created have left many across the Carolinas without power, reliable drinking water, and experiencing tremendous loss. When disaster strikes like this, farmers often find themselves facing loss or damage to their home, to their land or essential farm equipment, and a long road to recovery and rebuilding. On top of that, as the flood waters recede, poultry, hog, and other livestock farmers will face another dilemma – the loss of livestock and the need to deal with their remains. For poultry farmers this could mean they may have lost entire flocks, which can be hundreds of thousands of birds. In these catastrophic loss situations, farmers' contracts make it clear that even though the companies technically own the birds while they are alive, the farmers have to take on the burden and risk of disposing of the dead bird carcasses in a timely and safe way.
Cleanup like this can be challenging and expensive. In the past, RAFI has looked into farmers' options for mass mortality disposal. We have combined our analysis with information circulated by NC State Extension about what options are currently available to farmers and how to find out more information.
Document your losses before you start cleaning up. Take photographs of damage, write down details like the total number of carcasses. After you begin cleanup, keep a log of hours spent and receipts for any work done. You will need this information to apply for programs such as the Livestock Indemnity Payments and others that can help cover your losses. Click here for more information about federal programs available to help with your recovery costs.
NCDS&CS Agriculture Weather and Emergency Hotline: 1-866-645-9403 You should also call your local FSA office to report losses as they will be able to help you identify resources and available support.
NRCS is now offering assistance to affected livestock producers for carcass disposal through their EQIP program. Here is the assistance announcement for North Carolina farmers. Applications must be filed at your local NRCS office and must be approved before work is started to receive reimbursements.
Additionally, the North Carolina Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services has authorized the contracting of private companies to handle the disposal of large livestock mortality resulting from Hurricane Florence. This contracting may include clean up of the livestock mortality, hauling to landfills, shavings for composting, etc. Affected farmers should contact Scott Rackley, Eastern Region Emergency Program Specialist at 919-710-9410 for more information.
There are five main options for disposing of a mass mortality. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
Rendering applies heat to carcasses to convert them into useful commercial products. Rendering does not affect the land, but may be impractical and expensive for large numbers of birds. Call the rendering plant to find out the maximum number of birds they will take at a time, transportation fees, and any other costs and restrictions.
NC Extension Services reports that Valley Protein will accept birds for render IF not too much mixed with litter and birds are no more than 48 hours down.
Landfill burial is less environmentally risky than some other options, but can be very expensive and may not be allowed in all areas and with some diseases.
NC Extension Services has prepared and circulated an Excel spreadsheet of landfills that are willing to accept animal mortality, which can be found here.
Call 24 hours ahead to let them know you are coming and how much you plan to bring.
Composting is simple, inexpensive and biosecure. It produces a useful end-product. In 2009, North Carolina developed a policy on alternative outdoor composting for poultry mass mortalities (PDF) and the process for getting it approved. You will need to mix a carbon material with the carcasses.
Burial is quick but is not recommended in the coastal plain and where the water table is high. It can contaminate soil and water. Burial sites must be at least three feet below the ground surface, three feet above the seasonal high water table, and 300 feet away from an existing stream or public body of water. Burial sites would need to be evaluated and approved by the NCDA&CS – call the hotline directly to learn more: 1-866-645-9403.
Also note: A record of the location of the approved site and the burial history, including the date, species, headcount and age, must be kept by the owner and reported to the Local Health Director. Burial sites should be disclosed if the land is later sold to avoid potential liability disaster.
Incineration: While this option does exist, it has not proven to be very useful in catastrophic loss situations and can be very expensive due to fuel costs.
The Rural Advancement Foundation International is excited to announce its three Come to the Table conference dates for 2015.

Q: Grouping GPS data into routes I've build an embedded GPS tracker which logs coordinates to a database, and I'd like to analyse this data and extract travelled routes and idle moments from it.
The way I think it should work:
Order the coordinates by UTC timestamp, find coordinates close together, and mark them as a 'route start'. Proximity could be found by simply comparing decimals, as I think GPS can be considered linear at a scale of ~3m. This brings up the trouble of selecting the 'center' of the idling: due to GPS inaccuracy, these decimals may drift around a little, potentially over the threshold to be grouped with the first.
10:15 to 15:12 - Idle
15:12 to 16:38 - [coordinates]
16:38 to 17:43 - Idle
etc.

How can I group coordinates in this fashion, and what complexities am I overlooking?

A: The first thing I would do is work with some experimental data. Are you sure there isn't some distance D, where if someone moved more than D from their previous location it must be they are on the move?
Now, assuming that there isn't. Say that GPS precision is usually within a reasonable accuracy, say 10m, but sometimes you just get a point 100m away. What I would do is: as long as the user didn't move more than, say, 20m, calculate a centre for the "idle location" (just the average of the x and y values of all the coordinates). When the user moves beyond distance 20m from your centre, don't immediately assume they started moving. Instead, check the next (one or more) values; only if you see them several times in distance of more than 20m from the centre, infer they started moving.
I imagine this simple solution should be good enough for most applications, though it depends on what exactly the user is doing (how stable they are during idle time, how fast moving when they move), and the quality of the GPS data. I would start with something like that and see how it works. If it fails, I would analyse in what cases it fails and proceed from there.


A Georgetown professor provides the latest example.
The "Fair" referred to in this instance is Georgetown professor Christine Fair, who this week is being hailed in many quarters for confronting notorious "alt-right" leader Richard Spencer in a D.C.-area gym last weekend where he was working out alone.
Let's stipulate that Richard Spencer is a man who has embraced values that are anathema to America's, and that his vision is quite obviously not one that conservatives or Republicans share. But Fair publicly claims that Spencer's very presence in the gym, because of his political views, creates an oppressive environment, which is a much more dramatic and potentially dangerous claim. If you are still cheering on Professor Fair, consider the case of another Spencer — Robert Spencer (no relation to Richard), a persistent critic of political Islam and a favorite of Steve Bannon and other figures in the Trump administration.
After he spoke to a large audience last week in Reykjavik, Iceland, a leftist approached him as he was dining with companions and managed to slip a combination of MDMA ("Ecstasy") and Ritalin into his drink, causing him to become ill to the point that he was hospitalized. Fortunately, police seem to have identified the perpetrator. But despite Spencer's relative prominence and the dramatic nature of the crime, this political poisoning attracted almost no attention from the mainstream media.
Spencer, the author of two New York Times bestsellers on radical Islam, is certainly controversial — and has his fair share of critics even on the right. But one should be able to be controversial without being poisoned. In the wake of the bombings in Manchester, are critics of political Islam really the people who should be beyond the pale of civil discourse?
What does all this have to do with Professor Fair? Well, it turns out that Robert Spencer too has had his share of run-ins with Professor Fair, who according to Spencer called him a "lunatic" and likened him to Charles Manson while "refusing (of course) to debate me on questions of substance." Robert Spencer says he has never met Fair in person, which has not saved him from being a repeated target of Fair's ire.
Very well, you may say, but Spencer's harsh and cherry-picked criticism of Islam may have stirred up legitimate anger — there's no reason to defend him.
But while a quick perusal of Fair's public statements reveals her to be an extreme case, a virtual parody of liberal intolerance, she is hardly the only liberal behaving badly. In just the past year, many conservatives, libertarians, and other assorted right-wingers, from Ann Coulter to Charles Murray to Heather Mac Donald to Milo Yiannopoulos to Ben Shapiro, have been shouted down and prevented, often by violence, from sharing their views, most often on America's campuses. And so far, almost without exception, those universities have declined to give any significant punishment to the perpetrators.
It is all well and good for conservatives to point out that there is a yawning gap between the Richard Spencers of the world and the Charles Murrays and Heather Mac Donalds. But for the Christine Fairs of the world — and an increasing number of her ideological soulmates on the left — they are all the same. None should have the right to speak — and increasingly, they are not even free to lead private lives free of harassment and threats. All of the people named above have been called "Nazis," "white supremacists," and similar epithets. If the Right, through silence, decides it's okay to harass or physically attack Richard Spencer because he is a "Nazi" (a video clip of an Antifa member sucker-punching Spencer has become a favorite Internet meme on the left), they should not expect that the punchers will stop at Richard Spencer — or Robert Spencer, or even Asra Nomani. If we won't fight for the free speech of those who anger the Left, no matter how distasteful we find their views, because we are afraid that the Left will wrongly ascribe their views to us, then conservatives are little more than feeding red meat to the ravenous left-wing lion in vain hopes that they will be the last ones eaten. And the lion is getting stronger and hungrier.
It's a question the Left doesn't want to answer — and too many on the right, afraid of being labeled as bigots by the most intolerant voices on the left, are scared to even ask.

Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
We are using drools/jBPM5 as part of our long term preservation experiment (here at the dutch national library) which purpose is to analyse and reject or store digital publications. The problem that we are facing currently is that the whole process is getting quite enormous and we 've decided to split it up into various subprocesses. We now have about 16 subprocesses / .rf files. The thing is that when we detect a deficiency in the publication and/or the metadata we 'reject' the publication and abort the process. Inside a subprocess the abort however is never propagated to the parent process and the latter will continue the process even while the abort was raised in the childprocess, causing all kinds of unexpected behaviour.
To cope with this we've created a custom extension on the SubProcessNodeInstance and registered this with the NodeInstanceFactoryRegistry.
The difference with the original instance is that when the child process gets in an ABORTED state this state is propagated to the parent process instance.
Another solution would be to use the output mapping of the subprocess node and use a variable for this. but injecting split joins attached to end node's on every subprocess node would be very cumbersome for our situation, not making the process definition more readable.
I would like to hear whether the approach we've taken is sensible. does it align with the underlying fundamentals of BPMN ? would a JIRA issue to implement such a change make sene ?
Please share your opinion on this approach.
1. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
first of all thanks for giving a lot of details of your case, this certainly helps to understand what you do and what are the goals to achieve.
If you make the boundary event interrupting (which is by default) it should cancel the regular flow and move though the sequence flow defined for boundary event. So that should suit your case, I think.
2. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
Thanks for the quick response.. Lets see if i understand what you are saying.
Here are three of the many process definitions that we have currently floating around.
The top-left process is our main process which calls (among others) the validation sub-process which is situated in the picture in the top-right position. The validation subprocess on his turn calls the process situated below. which does a specific validation task.
So here we have a chain of three (sub-)processes. the one below clearly shows the 'Reject' task which puts the process in an aborted state.
Please correct me if i'm wrong. what you are suggesting is putting an event catching node in the two processes above in order to catch the aborted state from the process below ? I must admit that i'm not very familiar with the boundary error event catching. I will surely look into that.
Any pointers to what that exactly means are very helpful I don't think i came across that term in my eclipse env.
3. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
Please note that I refer to BPMN2 processes.
4. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
Right. My processes are drools flow (DRF) processes. I guess that means i need a different approach then the one mentioned.. Is it advisable to move away from DRF processes and join the BPMN2 bandwagon ?
5. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
In my opinion it is worth to move to BPMN2 since that is the main process format that will be enhanced.
Don't know if rule flow is/will be under development but the most important is to make sure all requirements can be met be current BPMN2 implementation.
6. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
The exampe shown here uses an embeddable sub-process. How can I handle errors when I am using a reusable sub-process? Say for example, if I have a reusable subprocess (say sub1) which does some processing, and throws a fault on error. I now make a call to the sub-process from the main process (say proc1). Now during execution the subprocess throws the fault on error, how can I catch this fault in the main process? One approach I can think of is storing the exception in a sub-process variable, then map it to the process variable, and use a gateway to determine if there was a fault in the sub-process, and raise a fault in the main process, and use signals to handle the fault. however this is a lot of steps for handling sub-process errors, Is there a simpler way to handle faults thrown in reusable sub-processes?
7. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
If you use call activity then I would add a boundary error event to the call activity that in fact invokes sub process. So whenever sub process throws an error the boundary error event on call activity should handle it. I have not verified that it is supported by current version of jBPM.
8. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
2. An error event is treated as a terminating event, and it stops the entire process. So the main process error handler is never fired.
Can you please verify that I have implemented the solution according to your suggestion.
9. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
Pretty much... I was even thinking to have the boundary event attached directly to the call activity, but after quick check it seems it is not supported at the moment.
So, as an alternative you could use signal events instead of error events in quite the same approach.
10. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
Thanks Maciej. I was able to check the signal events and those work correctly. Do you think the error handling is an issue with the product that needs to be logged?
11. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
Yes, in my opinion errors should be thrown so they can be handled and not entire process stack should be ended but only this one that throws an error event. So, yes, I think it should be logged (for instance jira issue) at least for verification/confirmation from core developers.
12. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
Thanks Maciej, I have reported this via a JIRA.
13. Re: Propagation of ABORT state in Sub process to parent.
A bit more detail here, as this is biting me as well right now. I don't believe that the end event is actually terminating the flow-- I think it's just not propogating the error back to the caller.
Using your examples (which are awsome, BTW), when I check the session state after execution, the session is marked as STATE_ACTIVE, not STATE_COMPLETED. This seems to indicate that the engine still thinks that the process is running, when clearly it is not. For a test I created an identical flow that put the steps into an embedded sub-process (rather than a called one), and the sequence of events is identical but the process state is STATE_COMPLETED.
Now, if I remove the boundaryEvent that handles the error, the embedded version of the flow returns STATE_ABORTED (which I would expect), but the call version still returns STATE_ACTIVE. It sure looks like the issue is that the error in the sub-flow is not getting passed back up, so the error handling in the caller never gets executed.


I am PhD in Engineering, I enjoy my leisure time hiking, outdoors activities, and culture activities that California offers. I enjoy my leisure time and to travel, working my life away is not my goal, however obtaining a certain level of comfort is important so that I can travel and enjoy my life.
I am looking for an educated woman, has a variety of cultural interest and intellectual pursuits. I enjoy someone that wants to enjoy life and travel.

"I shall make you the jewel at the heart of the universe."
Something distinctly odd is going on in Arbroath. It could be to do with golfers being dragged down into the bunkers at the Fetch Brothers' Golf Spa Hotel, never to be seen again. It might be related to the strange twin grandchildren of the equally strange Mrs Fetch–owner of the hotel and fascinated with octopuses. It could be the fact that people in the surrounding area suddenly know what others are thinking, without anyone saying a word.
Tomorrow, Saturday August 15, has been declared Doctor Who Comics Day by Titan Comics, who, of course, publish Doctor Who Comics.
While I didn't have a Doctor Who graphic novel in my TBR pile, it did seem like a golden opportunity to review a Doctor Who book. I'd been staring at the eARC of Doctor Who: The Drosten's Curse, for a few days, so this gave me an excuse to get it.
Why was I staring at it? Because this is a Fourth Doctor story. As the saying goes, you never forget your first Doctor, and Tom Baker was mine. Yes, I got a bit of the weepies when he appeared as The Curator at the end of The Day of the Doctor.
But the Doctor in The Drosten's Curse was definitely the Doctor as I remember him from the series. Often surprisingly brave, and generally making it up as he went along. If the Fourth Doctor could be described as "madcap", there was an awful lot of mad as well as curly hair under that "cap", which was actually a rather floppy hat.
That particularly Doctor often seemed rather floppy, like an animated Raggedy Andy doll, right up until the point where he saved the day and skipped away to a new adventure.
The adventure in The Drosten's Curse feels like one that could have happened during the run of the series, too. The Doctor lands the TARDIS somewhere he wasn't planning on (as usual) and discovers that underneath the soil of an unsuspecting small town is a very large intergalactic predator who has changed the local landscape to suit his/her/its nefarious purposes.
What made this one fun is that the alien has been listening to humans for so long, that its purposes have strayed off course. It's supposed to be a big bad monster who responds primarily to hatethink, but has been preserving the life of a lovely little old lady and making her happy by supplying her with fictitious grandchildren.
Of course, it is also living underneath a sand bunker on the local golf course, and eating anyone who wanders – or is lured – into the bunker.
In this adventure, the Doctor, currently between companions, enlists the help of a local young woman, Bryony, and an inept intergalactic bounty hunter named Putta. Bryony is as helpful as any companion has ever been, and has no trouble believing in not just one, but two aliens with space ships. She has always hoped that someone will rescue her from the humdrum of her life and take her away to see the universe in a classy ship and she hopes that this is her chance!
She gets way more than she bargained for. But Bryony's life will never be dull again – if she survives both the incipient destruction of the earth and the Doctor's desperate attempts to use her mind as a mental meeting place for himself, the alien, the TARDIS and that mother of all nightmares.
Escape Rating B: I think this story only makes sense if you are used to the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey pseudo-logic that so often comes into play in Doctor Who.
The Doctor in this incarnation often gave off the appearance of a big, bumbling fool. Sometimes because he didn't know what he was going to do until after he'd done it, and sometimes as a way of getting people and beings to underestimate him so he could get the better of them later. "Care for a jelly baby?"
At the same time, he does not suffer fools gladly, or any longer than he has to in order to give them their right proper comeuppance. The interesting thing in this story, and also many stories during this era, is that the evil in the end is not the monster – it's the humans who try to take advantage of the monster.
There are a few plot bits that owe a lot to speculative fiction that has happened in the years since Tom Baker's Doctor regenerated into Peter Davison's Doctor.
The way to end the Drosten's Curse was not superior firepower (it seldom was in Doctor Who) or even superior brainpower, which often did happen. In the Drosten's Curse, the most powerful force in the universe turns out to be love, in ways that reminded this reader a bit of the end of Harry Potter.
Also, a significant part of the action in this story includes the TARDIS herself as a thinking being, even if she is not shown as an actual person the way that she was in the Eleventh Doctor episode The Doctor's Wife. That the TARDIS has her own personality, her own mental space, and her own ability to feel emotion is a big part of what brings The Drosten's Curse to its successful conclusion. I don't think we saw the TARDIS act this much on her own before the revived series.
The timey-wimey bit comes at the end of this story, and it was quite touching, kind of in the same way that the end of Reaper Man in Terry Pratchett's Discworld was touching.
All in all, The Drosten's Curse is a lovely Fourth Doctor story that shows just how much substance lurked inside that frequently clownish buffoon.

Review: Doctor Who: Engines of War by George Mann

"The death of billions is as nothing to us Doctor, if it helps defeat the Daleks."
The Great Time War has raged for centuries, ravaging the universe. Scores of human colony planets are now overrun by Dalek occupation forces. A weary, angry Doctor leads a flotilla of Battle TARDISes against the Dalek stronghold but in the midst of the carnage, the Doctor's TARDIS crashes to a planet below: Moldox.
As the Doctor is trapped in an apocalyptic landscape, Dalek patrols roam amongst the wreckage, rounding up the remaining civilians. But why haven't the Daleks simply killed the humans?
Searching for answers the Doctor meets 'Cinder', a young Dalek hunter. Their struggles to discover the Dalek plan take them from the ruins of Moldox to the halls of Gallifrey, and set in motion a chain of events that will change everything. And everyone.
An epic novel of the Great Time War featuring the War Doctor as played by John Hurt.
After watching the new Doctor's first episode, I simply couldn't resist reading this War Doctor adventure. Of course, now I want to go back and watch The Night of the Doctor and The Day of the Doctor, just to put everything into its proper context.
And besides, those stories were just plain fun, and so is this one.
Engines of War takes place late in the War Doctor's time period, probably not long before (possibly JUST before) the events in The Day of the Doctor.
Those "engines of war" have been in development for centuries, and the Doctor has reached the point where this regeneration looks pretty darn worn out, but still with that spark of humor that we saw in Day of the Doctor.
Engines of War seems to be the point where the Doctor cries "a plague on both your houses" at both the Daleks and his own people, the Time Lords. Because the events in this story show him that the war has made the two opposing forces in equally degenerative and destructive forces. The war has made the Time Lords into a race that has used the weapons and methods of the Daleks in their attempt to defeat them.
Pogo was right, "we have met the enemy and he is us".
As with so many Doctor Who stories, we see the action through the Doctor's Companion. Cinder is human, but from a far future where humanity has colonized the stars. Her planet was once a great civilization, but the war has reduced the population to slaves, victims and guerrilla warriors just barely keeping one step ahead of their oppressors.
The Daleks are using the place for experimental research on yet more ways they can create Daleks, including Daleks with time-erasure weapons. Their victims not only cease to exist, they cease to have ever existed.
The new Dalek master plan is to use the power of time reversal on the Time Lords. Until the Doctor crash lands on the battle-heap that was Moldox, and falls in with one plucky warrior just about at the end of her line.
But it isn't the Dalek's destruction of her planet that moves the Doctor beyond his ability to make excuses for his people's behavior, it is the way that the Time Lords abuse Cinder herself that bring him to the brink of despair and disaster.
Escape Rating A-: In the episode The End of Time, the Time Lords attempt to come back, and the Doctor stops them at the cost of his regeneration. In Engines of War, we get a pretty good idea of why the Doctor is willing to keep them out at all costs. It's said that if you use the methods of your enemy to defeat them, you are already lost. The Time Lord Council had gone way too far down that road for the Doctor to want them back.
If you are a fan of both the classic and the new adventures of the Doctor, this story is a special treat. It not only bridges a bit of the gap between The Night of the Doctor minisode and The Day of the Doctor, but it also gives us a glimpse into the rot in the Time Lords that leads the Doctor to even think of using "The Moment". And as an added treat, the story takes us back to the Death Zone, the scene of The Five Doctors. We see more of Gallifrey than we ever have before, and it's plenty ugly.
But it makes a terrific adventure.

Q: warning MSB3270: mismatch between the processor architecture of the project I am building a project which is showing a warning:

warning MSB3270: There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project
being built "AMD64" and the processor architecture of the reference
"DiagLib, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=x86", "x86".
This mismatch may cause runtime failures. Please consider changing the targeted processor architecture of
your project through the Configuration Manager so as to align the processor architectures between your project
and references, or take a dependency on references with a processor architecture that matches the targeted
processor architecture of your project.

My project is working fine but I would like to remove this warning.

A: See comment above.
The warning occurs for C# parts of your x64 program. It is probably set to "Any CPU" because your application is running fine.
For compound C#/C++ projects, better avoid "Any CPU" in the C# part. Make sure you set "x64" explicitly as Platform Target on all C# components and also "x64" for the current mode of your solution.

Detroit Restaurant Closings
Detroit Restaurant Owners Question Whether Their Businesses Qualify as 'Essential'
Some restaurants and cafes that planned to remain open with carryout service are now shutting their doors out of concern for the health and safety of staff and customers

Share All sharing options for: Detroit Restaurant Owners Question Whether Their Businesses Qualify as 'Essential'
Eli Tea decided to close over the weekend, citing concerns for the health and safety of staff and customers.
Stock Detroit
The past three weeks have been a cascade of emotions for Elias Majid. On Tuesday, March 10, the owner of Eli Tea in Birmingham braced and waited as the initial novel coronavirus cases were identified in Michigan and the state began implementing restrictions on large gatherings. Within days, restaurants were told to shut down for dine-in service.
Through the "stay at home, stay safe" order, Eli Tea soldiered on, stacking up the chairs in its cafe and getting stricter with its policies for maintaining social distance and sanitizing: The shop limited customer contact to the ordering counter and closed down the self-service sugar area. The restrooms were closed to customers and the cafe began taking only credit cards to shorten contact time with patrons and to compensate for the lack of access to disposable gloves.
While other restaurants around the region took major financial hits, Majid was surprised by his own relatively steady sales. "Business did not go down as much as I thought it would," he says. It could have been enough to sustain the shop financially for a few months, but on Sunday, March 29, Majid tells Eater, he decided to end carryout service. The risk of infection was simply too great. "Just looking at the numbers and being in Oakland County, it's just only a matter of time before our staff gets sick from someone coming in," he says.
"It's just only a matter of time before our staff gets sick from someone coming in"
Michigan's current executive order — like many similar shelter in place orders across the country — establishes restaurants as "essential services" in the same category as hospitals and grocery stores. But after several weeks of operating with safety precautions in place, some business owners are starting to question whether restaurants actually qualify as "essential" during a pandemic. For Majid the answer was "no."
While many customers were supportive of staff, offering extra tips to workers who had seen their hours cut due to the pandemic, Majid says that others questioned whether the virus was a threat and blatantly ignored social distancing barriers and other sanitation rules that the cafe had adopted. "Some customers were very resistant," he says. "We had a customer come in who was visibly sweating and shaking and coughing and using a facial mask. That was a red light." It wasn't long after that encounter that he announced Eli Tea was closing.
Last week, chef Reniel Billups opened her new Pontiac restaurant Flavors of Jamaica to the public for the first time. Despite her earlier fears that the pandemic would keep customers from patronizing the restaurant, she had a relatively successful first week of business with a steady increase of daily carryout sales. "The community really, really came out and supported us," Billups says. Nevertheless, Sunday, March 29, was Flavors of Jamaica's last day of service until the extended executive order lifts on April 13.
"As much as we would like to make money, money is not the most important thing," Billups says of the decision to close, adding that closing temporarily was the "responsible" thing to after cases in Michigan continued to climb over the weekend and the government extended its social distancing guidelines to April 30. "We want to make sure that we're doing our part and make sure that everyone who comes in contact with us is safe, so we're not putting them in any further danger than they need to be," Billups explains.
This is tough but temporary. Out of respect for the health and safety of our customers and employees, we have decided to temporarily close the restaurant until April 13th. We have been recieving overwhelming reports of how bad the Corona Virus have been spreading in our state and we want to do our part in helping our customers and employees safe. With that said, we want to thank each and everyone of you who have come out and purchased our food and said wonderful things about our food on Social Media! We appreciate everything and can't wait to serve you again on April 13th. Please share this message if possible. We will re-open on April 13th at 11:00am. Until then, please be safe! Eat*Drink*Be Irie

During the restaurant's limited week of service, Billups asked customers to call in orders for curbside pickup and placed a menu and instructions on the restaurant's entrance. Unfortunately, many people didn't read the messaging on the door and wandered inside. "People are used to being able to open the door and come in, so we did find a lot of times that we had to guide people back," she says. Customers were mostly respectful when they were redirected.
Billups observed that people wearing masks seemed to intimidate staff and customers. Some employees also raised concerns about the safety of riding public transportation to work in Pontiac each day. "It just became an uncomfortable situation," she says. "And the last thing I wanted to hear is that someone ended up with the coronavirus and it led back to them catching it in Flavors of Jamaica. I would just feel absolutely horrible."
Flavors of Jamaica hopes to return soon. "We'll make it. We'll pull through. We all just got to follow the protocols, do what we can to remain safe, and remain strong," Billups says, adding that she's grateful that everyone has been so understanding throughout the crisis.
Eli Tea adopted more stringent sanitizing measures and rules for social distancing, but many customers didn't follow the guidelines.
To Majid, keeping restaurants open for takeout and delivery is a tool being used to keep people from panicking. "Food keeps people calm," he says, "but we're really at risk with workers getting sick now."
Before he closed, Majid recalls, one customer expressed how grateful they were that Eli Tea was still open because it gave them a sense of normalcy. But as Majid looked around at his employees scrambling to keep surfaces sanitized, he realized that nothing about the situation felt normal. "For the staff, we're jumping over counters, we're wiping down chairs, we're scrubbing stuff down, just so we can continue service," he says. "And it's not okay for us. Our health is at risk."
For now, Majid is focusing his energy on developing a new, safer system of mobile ordering and payment for his tea shop in the hopes of reopening in the next few weeks.
"Grocery stores need to be open," he says. "We need supplies of food. But restaurants, I'm not sure if they need to be open."

AnimeNewsNetwork: "The North American anime distributor Section23 has announced on Thursday that it will release the CANAAN television anime series from licensor Sentai Filmworks in one complete collection on DVD and Blu-ray on October 26."
I dropped it after a couple episodes.
I did like Kimikiss, though. Even if the whole double-protagonist irritated the hell out of me: one interesting story sandwiched with one really, really dull story ain't the way to go.

Hi! Wow I didn't realise how long it has actually been since I have done a post. This has proved to be a busy year so far and I have to admit that I actually lost my mojo for scrapping for a few months while I stuggled through the nausea of being pregnant! So excited that we are expecting our 4th little bundle but I wasn't quite prepared for the nausea which has thankfully eased off now and I am loving getting back into scrapping. We have already had 2 holidays this year so i have lots of new photos to get scrapping with!
This month I have played along with Sassy Scrapper. I just love their blog and online shop and it has one of my most fav people in the world on their DT - The talented Shell Carman. The sketch was created by another DT Rikki and allowed me to play with mists, inks and gesso. The photos are of my 2 eldest being just a little crazy with dirty faces after tea!

There are a number of problems with the studies and their conclusions. First off, only around 33% of the people in one study actually complied with the recommendations, even in a three-day trial. Other trials of sodium restriction showed no benefits or the level of evidence was lacking. While lowering sodium from the highs that the average American consumes is a good idea, what is missing when it comes to improving health outcomes? The answer is simple, it's potassium.
The recommended intake of potassium for an adult is 4,700 mgs per day. What the average American consumes is somewhere around 2640 mgs daily. The problem is not the intake of sodium per se, it is the terrible deficiency of potassium we take in. The average intake of sodium is 1,400 mgs above recommended levels but the deficiency in potassium intake is over 2,000 mgs! This creates a large imbalance which goes on and on over years, and decades.
So how do we achieve a balance? Obviously, we need to cut back a little on the amount of sodium we ingest. Secondarily, we should increase the amount of potassium rich foods we eat like, baked potatoes (919 mgs each), bananas (362 mgs), raw carrots (320 mgs), broccoli (209 mgs) and spinach (268 mgs) to name a few. You could try coconut water which comes in between 470-540 mgs per 8 ounce serving but that comes with a warning. Too much potassium at one time can cause problems. Normally, our kidneys would clear out any excess potassium but some medications and people with kidney disease may not do that efficiently. Too much can may cause problems like muscle weakness or dangerous heart rhythms.
The literature is clear about one thing, it is the balance of sodium and potassium that is important. That is why our Synerplex Electrolytes™ are so beneficial. They present you with a 2-1 ratio of potassium over sodium, ideal in today's world. Not only that, but you get a balance of bicarbonates and chlorides, two important electrolytes. You would have to search far and wide to find any other electrolyte on the market, anywhere in the world to find anything close to Synerplex Electrolytes™.

An eight-year veteran police officer with the Clinton Township Police Department (Michigan) was charged with possession of anabolic steroids without a valid prescription. The illegal steroid was identified as methandrostenolone. The drug is more commonly referred to as Dianabol or D-bol. Patrolman Christopher Weaver was suspended from the police force during the course of a two-month internal affairs investigation into his alleged steroid use.
Hunterdon County Prosecutor Anthony P. Kearns III told the media that the charges against Weaver were not the result of any incident that occurred on the job. The investigation focused on specific alleged off-duty conduct.
In fact, Weaver's performance as a police officer has been praised over the years by his superiors at the department. Lt. Doug Higgins told the Star-Ledger newspaper in 2009 that Weaver did not display any of the stereotypical behavior associated with hypermuscularity and strength e.g. aggression and violence.
Weaver has been a competitive powerlifter for over a decade. Weaver competed in contests organized by USA Powerlifting (USAP), formerly called American Drug Free Powerlifting Association. Weaver set the USAP New Jersey state record in the squat in the 275-pound weight class at the USA Powerlifting's New Jersey Championships on April 5, 2009. He recorded lifts of 722, 677 and 413 pounds in the squat, deadlift and bench press, respectively.
It would seem that a "laid back and easy-going" police officer with a spotless record and the ability to lift a car and pull a 15,000 pound ambulance across a parking lot would be an incredible asset for the Clinton Township Police. Unfortunately for Weaver, the department did not agree and decided to pursue the powerlifter for the off-duty alleged personal use of steroids .


The brooding beauty of the mountain landscape, its stunning and unique wildflowers and the challenge of climbing Bluff Knoll have long drawn bushwalkers and climbers to the Stirling Range National Park, an area of 115 920 hectares. At 1,095 metres above sea level, Bluff Knoll is the highest peak in the south-west of Western Australia. The main face of the bluff forms one of the most impressive cliffs in the Australian mainland. It takes three to four hours to complete the six-kilometre return climb.
The jagged peaks of the Stirling Range stretch for 65 kilometres from east to west. The rocks of the range were once sands and silts deposited in the delta of a river flowing into a shallow sea. Deposited over many millions of years, these layers of sediment became so thick and heavy that, they caused the crust in the area to sink. As the surface subsided, still more sediment was deposited in the depression which was left. The final thickness of sediment is believed to be over 1.6 kilometres! As the sediment built up, so did the pressure on the layers below. The water was forced out of these layers, which solidified to become rocks known as sandstones and shales. The rocks which form today's Stirling Range were gradually exposed over millions of years as the surrounding rocks were worn away by the forces of weathering and. It was during this process that the current form of the range was sculpted.
Bluff Knoll was called Bular Mial (many eyes) or Bala Mial (his eyes) by Nyoongar people, depending on the intent of the speaker. This was because the rocks on the bluff were shaped like the eyes of the ancestral master spirit that are visible on the mountain today. The peak is often covered with mists that curl around the mountain tops and float into the gullies. These constantly changing mists were believed to be the only visible form of the Noyt (meaning spirit).
The range was first recorded by Matthew Flinders in 1802. In 1831, Surgeon Alexander Collie recorded the Aboriginal name of the range, Koi Kyeunu-ruff, which was provided to him by his Aboriginal guide Mokare. Surveyor-General John Septimus Roe travelled to Perth with Governor Sir James Stirling in 1835 and glimpsed "some remarkable and elevated peaks". Roe called them the Stirling Range. The area was declared a national park in 1913, at a time where the dominant culture was towards clearing the bush and converting it to farmland.
The number and beauty of the wildflowers is staggering. The park is one of the world's most important areas for flora, with 1,500 species (many of which grow nowhere else) packed within its boundaries. More species occur in the Stirling Range than in the entire British Isles and 87 plant species found in the Stirling Range occur nowhere else on earth. This tally includes the famous mountain bells of the genus Darwinia. Needless to say, spring wildflower viewing is incredible. There are an astonishing 123 orchid species — 38 per cent of all known Western Australian orchids. Between August to December the white flowers of southern cross (Xanthosia rotundifolia), which resembles the four stars of the Southern Cross constellation, are a common sight.
An ideal time to visit is late spring and early summer (October to December), when days are beginning to warm up and the wildflowers are at their best. Winter, between June and August, is cold and wet, and visitors should come prepared. Even in spring the weather can be unpredictable, particularly higher in the range. Sudden cold changes cause the temperature to drop and rain or hail to set in. All visitors are strongly advised not to enter the bush or use footpaths on days of extreme fire danger.
The Stirling Range is renowned for its unusual and sometimes spectacular cloud formations. Park visitors may notice two types of unusual cloud formations about the peaks, often when the rest of the sky is clear. A shallow, low-level stratified cloud that drapes over the higher peaks is a familiar sight. The range is one of few places in Western Australia where snow occasionally falls. Snow probably falls on the highest peaks several times each year. On most occasions it is only a light dusting or the snow melts on impact. However, falls above five centimetres have been reported on Bluff Knoll. Snow may occur at any time in winter and sometimes in spring.
Would you like help arranging a visit to Stirling Ranges?

Media Matters' relationship with mainstream media in focus after Sharyl Attkisson's accusations
Merely accusing Attkisson of "shoddy reporting" is an insufficient response to accusations that Media Matters assists network news in producing stories.
Posted by Bryan Jacoutot Tuesday, April 22, 2014 at 08:55am 22 Comments
On the most recent airing of the CNN Sunday talk show, Reliable Sources, former CBS reporter, Sharyl Attkinson, revealed a rather stunning accusation about the far left online news organization, Media Matters.
Media Matters, as my understanding, is a far left blog group that I think holds itself out to be sort of an independent watchdog group. And yes, they clearly targeted me at some point. They used to work with me on stories and tried to help me produce my stories…
And I was certainly friendly with them as anybody, good information can come from any source. But when I persisted with Fast and Furious and some of the green energy stories I was doing, I clearly at some point became a target… [Emphasis Added]
Of course, anyone who has read Media Matters would scoff at the idea that it is a politically "independent" media watchdog group.
Given the obvious leanings of the organization, the revelation that Media Matters is actually assisting, in some manner, in producing content for one of the "Big 3" (ABC, NBC, CBS) network news programs carries significant implications. Most notably, these three networks are still viewed by many in the public as the place to get your least politically slanted news. For many Americans, the brief 30-minute or hour long nightly news program from these networks is the only news they get all day.
In the immediate wake of Attikson's Sunday appearance, Media Matters elected only to respond to the assertion by Attkinson that she had been targeted by the organization:
Sharyl Attkisson is continuing a pattern of evidence-free speculation that started at the end of her tenure at CBS. We have never taken contributions to target her or any other reporter. Our decision to post any research on Attkisson is based only on her shoddy reporting.
Yesterday, Media Matters doubled down on their repudiation of Attkisson's suggestion they might have have targeted her, calling the claims "false." Again, however, Media Matters failed to address the whole of Attkisson's assertions.
In explaining away the targeting claims as baseless, Media Matters neglected to respond to the more subtle assertion by Attkisson that it worked with her, as she phrased it, "to help me produce my stories."
We've noted here the numerous times Media Matters has unabashedly attempted to bring an end to right-leaning news outlets like Fox News, and astroturfed secondary boycott of Rush Limbaugh.
If it's also creating content that the Big 3 network news programs are presenting as "politically neutral," the American people have a right to know. This is especially so given the new direction Media Matters publicly announced, after declaring victory in its self-described "war on Fox News."
According to its strategic plan for the next three years, a copy of which was provided to The Huffington Post, Media Matters envisions shifting its focus to new, increasingly influential targets, including Spanish-language media, social media streams, alternative online outlets and morning and entertainment sources. It will enhance its state media and issue-based monitoring, as well as continue its focus on right-wing radio and legacy outlets. [Emphasis Added]
Irony abounds. Media Matters, the organization that began as an effort to expose right-wing bias in media portrayed as "fair and balanced," may now be engaging in the inverse of the very thing it sought to prevent through its cooperation with news outlets like CBS.
Media Matters needs to come clean.

Who needs the Journ-o-list when you have Media Matters writing and editing for you?
Isn't this the very definition of native advertizing? CBS has officially become a subsidized arm of the DNC.
Valerie | April 22, 2014 at 9:38 am
"They used to work with me on stories and tried to help me produce my stories…"
Was Atkisson's real sin at CBS that she rebuffed Media Matter's more excessive advances? Who else has been using Media Matters material, and passing it off as their own?
This looks like a job for the National Enquirer.
raven | April 22, 2014 at 9:53 am

Not stunning at all. Breitbart said it four years ago.

Wasn't the coked-up dude over there (can't remember his name) caught on tape saying they orchestrated the primetime lineup at MSNBC? It would explain who fed a ridiculously edited video of Megyn Kelly calling Harry Reid a terrorist. At least Mediaite pointed out the deception: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/did-ed-schultz-edit-megyn-kelly-to-make-it-look-like-she-called-harry-reid-a-terrorist/

You know what else about this Sharyl Attkisson Story: Never let a Rule 5 opportunity go to waste… And the more focus on Media Matters and the bias at the lame stream media, the better.
Ragspierre | April 22, 2014 at 10:34 am
We KNOW there is a closed loop between the moonbattery, the White House, and the Mushroom Media!
Only the unaware would find the Attkisson story revelatory.
Radegunda | April 22, 2014 at 11:26 am
I've read that people closely connected with the White House have frequent conference calls with selected journalists to discuss how stories will be packaged.
I don't doubt it for a second, considering that people in this administration have openly said they'll "use legitimate media" to promote their agenda — implying that serving a certain political agenda is a legitimate function of the news media, and those that don't play along are not legitimate.
One of the funniest things that Rush Limbaugh does is play audio montages of six or eight or ten broadcast "journalists" using the same phrases or uncommon words to describe a current news event. Of course they're reading from the same script.
JackRussellTerrierist | April 22, 2014 at 11:45 am
Media Matters needs to shut down.
MarkS in reply to JackRussellTerrierist. | April 22, 2014 at 2:11 pm
Don't hold your breath! As long as Soros has the money, Media Matters will prattle on.
Immolate | April 22, 2014 at 1:18 pm
A news organization would not allow a political group (or anyone else) to shape its reporting. A journalist has enough trouble eliminating their own bias without having to wade through the swamp of someone else's. You listen to your source, assume it's all a lie, then try to confirm what might not be.
stevewhitemd in reply to Immolate. | April 22, 2014 at 4:01 pm
That is one of the issues that troubles me. As a younger man I read newspapers like the Tribune, the Daily News and Sun-Times in Chicago. I knew that most of the reporters and editors were fairly liberal, even at the Trib, but I also knew that each of them would KILL for a story. There wasn't a chance in the world that they'd let the cross-town rival get an exclusive.
Now we have Journolist which coordinates the outlook, responses and indeed key phrases of the insiders. What that really means is that they are defrauding their employers — they aren't doing the work of getting a story first and right, they are instead, nod-nod, wink-wink, colluding to make every news outlet read and sound the same.
Likewise with Media Matters providing (apparently) source material, writing and editing to reporters and editors throughout the major markets. Why work hard to develop an exclusive when you have people who will spoon feed you what you need for tomorrow's story, and then applaud and tell you what a good job you did? People who will, in the future, hold open doors to advance either in the media or sideways into a cushy government job, and then back to a better job in the media?
Reporters used to be go-getters — cynical, ornery, wise-cracking know it alls who really had seen and done a lot. Now they're just another part of the nomenklatura.
Ms. Atkinsson was a tool until she decided she didn't want to be a tool anymore. She's paying the price for it. What proportion of the rest are tools?
Frank G in reply to stevewhitemd. | April 22, 2014 at 9:08 pm
Well, Dr. Steve, the MSM has cut back on their reporting staff, so they have their fellow travelers write the script and do the "research" for them 🙂
JAL | April 22, 2014 at 1:54 pm
Anyone know if Media Matters is a 501(c)(4) or any other type of 501 (c)?
Spiny Norman in reply to JAL. | April 22, 2014 at 2:41 pm
"Media Matters For America" is a 501(c)(3), according to Wikipedia. "Media Matters Action Network" is a 501 (c)(4).
As if there's any real difference between the two.
richard40 in reply to Spiny Norman. | April 23, 2014 at 2:22 pm
I thought the IRS beleived that any involvement in politics by these groups had to be investigated and stopped. Any bets on whether the IRS ever investigates Media Matters?
jennifer a johnson | April 22, 2014 at 1:57 pm
For news I watch the three major stock market indexes and Neil Cavuto's Fox Business show in the evening. I can see what stock futures are doing. I watch CNBC's Worldwide Exchange in the morning while I'm getting ready for work. I'll watch Squawk Box if I'm working at home.
I used to watch Larry Kudlow in the evening but he has since retired from his weekly show. I liked his take on things economically. Bwaaaa.
The indexes don't lie (if everything is plugged in and communicating properly).
The info may be delayed because of HFT but I am holding anyway. I'm bullish on America. News comes and news goes.
Go ahead Media Matters. Spend all of George Soro's money on Fairy Tale stories.
EdisonCarter | April 22, 2014 at 4:51 pm
Sorry, but it's not Media Matters that needs to come clean. Their stated mission is to influence media coverage, and it's long been apparent that they are sometimes successful. It's the purportedly neutral media outlets that allow themselves to be used as megaphones for Media Matters' fringe messages that need to come clean.
myiq2xu | April 22, 2014 at 5:11 pm
Actually, if you read their statement, MMFA did not deny targeting Attkisson. They denied taking money to target her.
Spiny Norman in reply to myiq2xu. | April 22, 2014 at 10:37 pm
True. You can't call them political whores if they do it for free.
Except of course they dont do it for free, Soros pays the bills. And yet the dems howl about far less money coming from the Koch Brothers, and decry the involvement of people with money in politics. Of course the real truth is dems love people with money to get involved in politics, as long as they support leftist dems.
Crawford | April 22, 2014 at 9:38 pm
So we have political minders overseeing the production of "news".
Welcome, folks, to the United Soviet of America.
bobby b | April 23, 2014 at 12:36 am
Media Matters could clean and clean and clean, but by the time you'd call the process successful and the organization "clean", it would have washed completely away.
It'd be like trying to wash the stickiness out of hard candy.


Observations on Meteor, running, the world, and anything else I can be bothered to write about.
I haven't blogged about Meteor in a long time (since 2014, in fact), so it's about time. Conveniently, a recent Meteor project which required proxy routes to file downloads provides a great opportunity for a post, as it's a feature that may well be of interest to others and is extremely easy to set up.
The Meteor core package webapp uses Connect under the hood to serve content to browsers, and it's relatively easy to use WebApp.connectHandlers to register server-side routes from which to serve content outside your main web app.
Let's say we have three individuals in a collection, all of which have associated files on the local filesystem. We'd like to set up a route from which we can download the relevant file by supplying the individual's name.
The JSON-Routes API now makes it trivially easy to register an appropriate route, which we can use to return the file in question as a download.
There's no error-handling above, so if the app is unable to find the file in question it will simply throw.
A more realistic example probably wouldn't be reading files from the local filesystem, but more likely from dedicated cloud storage. However, it's trivial to adapt this code to serve files by creating readable streams from AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage. This way, the objects in question can remain both private and hidden, and only accessible to the public via your Meteor API.
