It is drummed into all safety professionals that PPE is the least reliable and least effective means of controlling the various hazards that can cause us harm. PPE doesn't eliminate the hazard, it just reduces exposure. However, there are situations where PPE complements the higher level control measures. Situations such as asbestos removal, decanting of chemicals, cleaning up chemical spills and spraying of herbicides, to name a few, almost always have PPE as a component of the control measures.
Recently, I have come across a number of instances where the selection of PPE, primarily respirators, and gloves, and the systems that lead to their selection, have been found seriously wanting.
A study was conducted into the potential exposure of people to asbestos fibres where the research organisation conducted personal monitoring for uncontrolled (Home Renovator) removal of real asbestos cement sheet. In this study, the people were exposed to up to 30 times the exposure standard in their breathing zones, whilst only wearing half face respirators. Depending on your source of protection factors for such respirators (Australia, UK or USA), of either 10 or 20, the air that was inside the respirator exceeded the exposure standard by 3 or 1.5 times, which is alarming!
The study made me consider whether the guidance provided by the States and Territories Codes of Practice in relation to asbestos removal was based on formal studies as to the exposure of asbestos removal workers whilst conducting their work?
Similarly, a company had issued 'Chemical Gloves' to employees who handled a range of chemicals from organic and inorganic solvents, corrosive and flammable liquids. Reviewing the information on the permeation time of the particular glove identified that several chemicals were likely to permeate the glove material in a very short period of time. Methylene Chloride (Paint Stripper) was a prime example.
I won't go into glove hygiene. That is for another time.
Another concerning area is where procedures or a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) involving chemicals state as the control, 'Refer to the products Safety Data Sheet'. This is not a control measure, as a control measure should be readily comprehensible by a person and implemented without having to refer to another document, and the situation contextualised to the actual work performed. If employees complied with the SDS direction, we could potentially see users of aerosol sprays, such as CRC or paints, wearing respirators fitted with organic chemical respirators for minor touch up works.
Employers must make themselves aware of the limitations of PPE and their safety systems, such as JSA's and employ a rigorous risk management approach to ensuring the safety of their employees.

Gig Workers' New Unemployment Benefits Won't Come Quickly

The $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill makes contractors eligible for unemployment insurance. But states want pay stubs that ride-hail drivers don't have.
"I feel like the system is broken," says ride-hail driver Yash Bazian of his unemployment claim.Photograph: Christie Hemm Klok/The New York Times/Redux
Yash Bazian estimates it took him three or four hours to apply for unemployment insurance—far longer than if he had pay stubs from an employer. But Bazian drives full-time for Uber and Lyft in California—when the Covid-19 pandemic isn't scaring away riders and making him nervous about his own safety behind the wheel. Those companies consider their drivers self-employed freelancers, who generally are not eligible for unemployment insurance, even though Bazian says his work has dwindled to nothing.
The form that California uses to evaluate unemployment claims clearly wasn't made for Bazian, the driver noticed. He had to comb through receipts and calculate his quarterly income since 2018. The form asked for his supervisor's name, and for permission to contact her. Who's your boss when an algorithm calls the shots?
Now, more than two weeks later, Bazian has heard nothing from the state about his application. "I feel like the system is broken," he says. "This is not the way to treat people who have stress and the loss of income."
In an unusual move, Congress included ride-hail drivers like Bazian in the $2 trillion pandemic relief bill approved last month. So-called gig workers whose work has been affected by the virus are eligible for up to 39 weeks of unemployment benefits. But the money won't arrive quickly.
Officials in state unemployment offices are scrambling to determine who's eligible for what benefits, and how to get money to them. Those offices, wading through an unprecedented 10 million claims filed in the past two weeks, only received instructions from the US Labor Department on Sunday on handling gig worker applications. A spokesperson for the US Labor Department said that because most independent contractors do not usually qualify for unemployment insurance, they would not need to file a claim with the states before applying for pandemic relief. But procedures will vary by state. A spokesperson for the New York State Department of Labor says the guidance requires workers who are not usually eligible for unemployment benefits to apply to state programs, get rejected, and then apply again for the federally funded pandemic assistance.

Some state unemployment websites have crashed. In New York, drivers say they've called thousands of times over the past few weeks, or waited on hold for hours. "There needs to be a faster way," says Moira Muntz, spokesperson for the Independent Drivers Guild, which represents some 80,000 New York City drivers.
"Everyone is just so, so confused," says Kersha Cartwright, a spokesperson for the Georgia Department of Labor. Last week, as news of the federal relief act spread across the gig work community, the department published an alert on its website: "Self-employed workers, gig workers, 1099 independent contractors - DO NOT APPLY AT THIS TIME." Cartwright says the department's IT team is rushing to develop a website to accommodate those applying for state unemployment insurance and pandemic assistance. Building the site could take two days, or four days, or two weeks, she says—no one's sure yet.
Self-employed people have received federal unemployment assistance before, as part of disaster relief packages. "But it's never been used at this scale," says Rebecca Smith, the head of the Work Structures program at the National Employment Law Project.
Muhammad Chowdhury, an Uber and Lyft driver in Atlanta, has applied for and been denied unemployment benefits in Georgia. He says he stopped driving in mid-March, after customers stopped requesting rides. "Fortunately, I've got a little more ammo left from the savings I worked so hard for," he says. But if he doesn't get help in the next few weeks, "I'm doomed," he says.
Many gig companies—including Uber, Lyft, and Postmates—have established relief funds for drivers who have contracted Covid-19, or have been ordered by medical officials to quarantine. Uber and Postmates declined last month to say how many workers had received funds under the program. But in a court filing Monday, Lyft lawyers said the company had given lump sums to nearly 1,500 workers, fewer than 1 percent of the company's roughly 1 million US drivers. The money ranged from $250 to $1,000, depending on how many hours a driver works per month. Lyft says it will reevaluate the relief program on April 10.
"Everyone is just so, so confused."
Kersha Cartwright, Georgia Department of Labor
In California and New York, officials had been moving under state laws toward including gig workers in the unemployment system before the pandemic. In those states, ride-hail drivers may get benefits more quickly and easily. But the process is fraught there, too, because it's unclear whether the states see ride-hail drivers as employees or independent contractors. And even those states don't have information about drivers' wages to streamline the application process.
New York's labor review board ruled in 2018 that Uber drivers should be considered employees for the purposes of unemployment insurance. A state court ruled in late March that the state's Postmates couriers are employees, and entitled to unemployment benefits. But until recently, officials did not have records of gig workers' wages, forcing drivers to wait months for benefits that traditional employees receive in weeks. On Monday, Uber spokesperson Harry Hartfield said Uber had begun submitting driver wage information, which should accelerate the process. Lyft declined to comment on the issue but a spokesperson said that the majority of the company's drivers also work for other companies, and may receive unemployment benefits through those employers.
In California, fights over a new law that classifies gig workers as employees have spilled over into pandemic relief. Under the law, known as Assembly Bill 5, an Uber driver and a Lyft driver have filed emergency requests for benefits like sick leave in California courts. Uber and Lyft say AB5 does not apply to their drivers, and that the companies are simply tech platforms that connect independent businesspeople to riders. Uber and Lyft lawyers argue in legal filings that reclassifying California drivers would force the companies to upend their business models in the middle of a pandemic. Uber has also made changes to its driver app in the state in an attempt to show that its workers have more control over their business. On Tuesday, a federal judge denied the Lyft driver's request, and ordered the case into arbitration. The judge noted, however, that "it is now clear that drivers for companies like Lyft must be classified as employees." The Uber driver's case is pending.
Even so, organizers with the California-based advocacy organizations Gig Workers Rising and Rideshare Drivers United are directing members to apply for unemployment benefits—even if their applications are eventually denied. Neither Uber nor Lyft reports driver wages to the state, and neither pays into unemployment insurance for the drivers.
"We remain committed to providing the state with any information they need to ensure drivers and delivery people can claim this financial relief the right way," an Uber spokesperson said in a statement. A Lyft spokesperson said the company is "working to make it easy for our driver community to get the information they need." The California Employment Development Department, which handles unemployment claims in the state, did not respond to questions.
So California-based drivers like Bazian are waiting, and hoping the federal assistance money shows up soon. "My savings are going really dry," he says.
Updated, 4-8-20, 11:40am ET: This article has been updated to reflect a statement from the US Labor Department and a Tuesday ruling by a California judge in a case filed by a Lyft driver.

## 概述
One of the most interesting features of Jekyll is the ability to separate out data elements from formatting elements using a combination of YAML and Liquid. This setup is most common when you're trying to create a table of contents.

Not many Jekyll themes actually have a robust table of contents, which is critical when you are creating any kind of documentation or reference material that has a lot of pages.

Here's the basic approach in creating a table of contents. You store your data items in a YAML file using YAML syntax. (I'll go over more about YAML syntax in a later section.) You then create your HTML structure in another file, such as sidebar.html. You might leverage one of the many different table of content frameworks (such as [Navgoco](https://github.com/tefra/navgoco)) that have been created for this HTML structure.

Then, using Liquid syntax for loops and conditions, you access all of those values from the data file and splice them into HTML formatting. This will become more clear as we go through some examples.

## YAML 概述

Rather than just jump into YAML at the most advanced level, I'm going to start from ground zero with an introduction to YAML and how you access basic values in your data files using Jekyll.

Note that you don't actually have to use Jekyll when using YAML. YAML is used in a lot of other systems and is a format completely independent of Jekyll. However, because Jekyll uses Liquid, it gives you a lot of power to parse through your YAML data and make use of it.

YAML itself doesn't do anything on its own — it's just a way of storing your data in a specific structure that other utilities can parse.

## YAML 基础
You can read about YAML from a lot of different sources. Here are some basic characteristics of YAML:

* YAML ("YAML Ain't Markup Language") doesn't use markup tags. This means you won't see any kind of angle brackets. It uses white space as a way to form the structure. This makes YAML much more human readable.
*  Because YAML does use white space for the structure, YAML is extremely picky about the exactness of spaces. If you have just one extra space somewhere, it can cause the whole file to be invalid.
* For each new level in YAML, you indent two spaces. Each level provides a different access point for the content. You use dot notation to access each new level.
* Because tabs are not universally implemented the same way in editors, a tab might not equate to two spaces. In general, it's best to manually type two spaces to create a new level in YAML.
* YAML has several types of elements. The most common are mappings and lists. A mapping is simply a key-value pair. A list is a sequence of items. List start with hyphens.
* Items at each level can have various properties. You can create conditions based on the properties.
* You can use "for" loops to iterate through a list.

I realize a lot of this vague and general; however, it will become a lot more clear as we go through some concrete examples.

In the \_data/mydoc folder, there's a file called samplelist.yml. All of these examples come from that file.

## Example 1: 简单的映射

**YAML:**

```yaml
name:
  husband: Tom
  wife: Shannon
```

**Markdown + Liquid:**

```liquid
{% raw %}<p>Husband's name: {{site.data.samplelist.name.husband}}</p>
<p>Wife's name: {{site.data.samplelist.name.wife}}</p>{% endraw %}
```

Notice that in order to access the data file, you use `site.data.samplelist`. `mydoc` is the folder, and `samplelist` is the name of the YAML file.

**Result:**

Husband's name: {{site.data.samplelist.name.husband}}

Wife's name: {{site.data.samplelist.name.wife}}

## Example 2: 换行符

**YAML:**

```yaml
feedback: >
  This is my feedback to you.
  Even if I include linebreaks here,
  all of the linebreaks will be removed when the value is inserted.

block: |
    This pipe does something a little different.
    It preserves the breaks.
    This is really helpful for code samples,
    since you can format the code samples with
       the appropriate
```

**Markdown:**

```liquid
{% raw %}<p><b>Feedback</b></p>
<p>{{site.data.samplelist.feedback}}</p>

<p><b>Block</b></p>
<p>{{site.data.samplelist.block}}</p>{% endraw %}
```

**Result:**

Feedback

{{site.data.samplelist.feedback}}

Block

{{site.data.samplelist.block}}

The right angle bracket `>` allows you to put the value on the next lines (which must be indented). Even if you create a line break, the output will remove all of those line breaks, creating one paragraph.

The pipe `|` functions like the angle bracket in that it allows you to put the values for the mapping on the next lines (which again must be indented). However, the pipe does preserve all of the line breaks that you use. This makes the pipe method ideal for storing code samples.

## Example 3: 简单的列表

**YAML**:

```yaml
bikes:
  - title: mountain bikes
  - title: road bikes
  - title: hybrid bikes
```

**Markdown + Liquid:**

```liquid
{% raw %}<ul>
{% for item in site.data.samplelist.bikes %}
<li>{{item.title}}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>{% endraw %}
```

**Result:**

{% for item in site.data.samplelist.bikes %}

{{item.title}}

{% endfor %}

Here we use a "for" loop to get each item in the bikes list. By using `.title` we only get the `title` property from each list item.

## Example 4: 列表项

**YAML:**

```yaml
salesteams:
- title: Regions
 subfolderitems:
   - location: US
   - location: Spain
   - location: France
```

**Markdown + Liquid:**

{% raw %}
```
{% for item in site.data.samplelist.salesteams %}
<h3>{{item.title}}</h3>
<ul>
{% for entry in item.subitems %}
<li>{{entry.location}}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
```
{% endraw %}

**Result:**

{% for item in site.data.samplelist.salesteams %}

{{item.title}}

{% for entry in item.subfolderitems %}

{{entry.location}}

{% endfor %}

{% endfor %}

Hopefully you can start to see how to wrap more complex formatting around the YAML content. When you use a "for" loop, you choose the variable of what to call the list items. The variable you choose to use becomes how you access the properties of each list item. In this case, I decided to use the variable `item`. In order to get each property of the list item, I used `item.subitems`.

Each list item starts with the hyphen `–`.  You cannot directly access the list item by referring to a mapping. You only loop through the list items. If you wanted to access the list item, you would have to use something like `[1]`, which is how you access the position in an array. You cannot access a list item like you can access a mapping key.

## Example 5: 表的内容

**YAML:**

```yaml
toc:
  - title: Group 1
    subfolderitems:
      - page: Thing 1
      - page: Thing 2
      - page: Thing 3
  - title: Group 2
    subfolderitems:
      - page: Piece 1
      - page: Piece 2
      - page: Piece 3
  - title: Group 3
    subfolderitems:
      - page: Widget 1
      - page: Widget 2 it's
      - page: Widget 3
```

**Markdown + Liquid:**

{% raw %}
```liquid
{% for item in site.data.samplelist.toc %}
<h3>{{item.title}}</h3>
<ul>
{% for entry in item.subfolderitems %}
<li>{{entry.page}}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
```
{% endraw %}

**Result:**

{% for item in site.data.samplelist.toc %}

{{item.title}}

{% for entry in item.subfolderitems %}

{{entry.page}}

{% endfor %}

{% endfor %}

This example is similar to the previous one, but it's more developed as a real table of contents.

## Example 6: 变量

**YAML:**

```yaml
something: &hello Greetings earthling!
myref: *hello
```

**Markdown:**

{% raw %}
```liquid
{{ site.data.samplelist.myref }}
```
{% endraw %}

**Result:**

{{ site.data.samplelist.myref }}

This example is notably different. Here I'm showing how to reuse content in YAML file. If you have the same value that you want to repeat in other mappings, you can create a variable using the `&` symbol. Then when you want to refer to that variable's value, you use an asterisk `*` followed by the name of the variable.

In this case the variable is `&hello` and its value is `Greetings earthling!` In order to reuse that same value, you just type `*hello`.

I don't use variables much, but that's not to say they couldn't be highly useful. For example, let's say you put name of the product in parentheses after each title (because you have various products that you're providing documentation for in the same site). You could create a variable for that product name so that if you change how you're referring to it, you wouldn't have to change all instances of it in your YAML file.

## Example 7: 职位列表

**YAML:**

```yaml
about:
 - zero
 - one
 - two
 - three
```

**Markdown:**

```
{% raw %}{{ site.data.samplelist.about[0] }}{% endraw %}
```

**Result:**

{{ site.data.samplelist.about[0] }}

You can see that I'm accessing one of the items in the list using `[0]`. This refers to the position in the array where a list item is. Like most programming languages, you start counting at zero, not one.

I wanted to include this example because it points to the challenge in getting a value from a specific list item. You can't just call out a specific item in a list like you can with a mapping. This is why you usually iterate through the list items using a "for" loop.

## Example 8: 属性列表项在特定位置

**YAML:**

```yaml
numbercolors:
 - zero:
   properties: red
 - one:
   properties: yellow
 - two:
   properties: green
 - three:
   properties: blue
```

**Markdown + Liquid:**

{% raw %}
```liquid
{{ site.data.samplelist.numbercolors[0].properties }}
```
{% endraw %}

**Result:**

{{ site.data.samplelist.numbercolors[0].properties }}

This example is similar as before; however, in this case were getting a specific property from the list item in the zero position.

## Example 9: 条件

**YAML:**

```yaml
mypages:
- section1: Section 1
  audience: developers
  product: acme
  url: facebook.com
- section2: Section 2
  audience: writers
  product: acme
  url: google.com
- section3: Section 3
  audience: developers
  product: acme
  url: amazon.com
- section4: Section 4
  audience: writers
  product: gizmo
  url: apple.com
- section5: Section 5
  audience: writers
  product: acme
  url: microsoft.com
```

**Markdown + Liquid:**

```liquid
{% raw %}<ul>
{% for sec in site.data.samplelist.mypages %}
{% if sec.audience == "writers" %}
<li>{{sec.url}}</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endraw %}
```

**Result:**

{% for sec in site.data.samplelist.mypages %}
{% if sec.audience == "writers" %}

{{sec.url}}

{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

This example shows how you can use conditions in order to selectively get the YAML content. In your table of contents, you might have a lot of different pages. However, you might only want to get the pages for a particular audience. Conditions lets you get only the items that meet those audience attributes.

Now let's adjust the condition just a little. Let's add a second condition so that the `audience` property has to be `writers` and the `product` property has to be gizmo. This is how you would write it:

```liquid
{% raw %}<ul>
{% for sec in site.data.samplelist.mypages %}
{% if sec.audience == "writers" and sec.product == "gizmo" %}
<li>{{sec.url}}</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>{% endraw %}
```

And here is the result:

{% for sec in site.data.samplelist.mypages %}
{% if sec.audience == "writers" and sec.product == "gizmo" %}

{{sec.url}}

{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Maryland is a British dramatic television film written by Lucy Kirkwood, based on Kirkwood's play of the same name which was staged at the Royal Court in London in October 2021. The drama was expanded for television and broadcast in the UK on 20 July 2022, on BBC 2.

Synopsis
Squires and Ashton are 2 women, both called Mary, attacked by the same man on the same day. They meet at a police station as they report their attacks.

Cast
 Hayley Squires as Mary
 Zawe Ashton as Mary
 Daniel Mays as PC Moody
 Justine Mitchell
 Zainab Hasan
 Jennifer Joseph
 Sarah Lam
 Gabriella Leon
 Sarah Woodward

Production
The play was written in the aftermath of the death of school teacher Sabina Nessa and other male violence against women, including the murders of Sarah Everard, Bibaa Henry, Nicole Smallman and Zara Elena in a short space of time in England. Kirkwood was quoted as saying it was "a howl against the way we have normalised violence against women as something to be accommodated by women themselves, rather than protested by all of us" and "the way that women, especially women of colour, cannot at present even rely on the forces of law and order to protect or respect their bodies."

Broadcast
The  programme was broadcast in the UK in July 2022 on BBC 2.

Reception
In The Guardian Lucy Mangan described a "rage-filled, agonisingly truthful drama [that] makes every syllable count.. Maryland is weeks, months, years, generations of pain and fury distilled into something truly powerful. I would like to see a recording or a script pressed into the hands of every schoolgirl, to arm them for the struggle. And every schoolboy. Because not all men, but more men than you think." In The Independent Rachel Sigee said "Squires and Ashton are exceptional…Kirkwood's bold, lyrical script pulsates with simmering rage and sparks of dark, droll humour. There is catharsis as it points a trembling finger of fury at a world that allows a woman to be killed by a man every three days." The Evening Standard's Natasha Tripney said "The film does not have the immediacy of the stage play… it still feels horribly, depressingly necessary."

There are occasions when the church is full to overflowing with Guides and Scouts and Radio Solent events. The intimate and unusual curved pews make it a cosy place in which to worship during our regular services and wedding ceremonies.
You will see that our church is also very beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful Nonconformist Church in England. Our churches used to be deliberately plain - the argument was that art might detract your attention from the glory of God. Today we think otherwise. Our magnificent stained glass windows and cathedral-like structure lift up your hearts in prayer and praise.
On visiting, people comment on the warmth and friendliness of our welcome. For these and other reasons we have become one of the most popular churches to marry in.
We welcome everyone and try our best to prepare and care for everyone who comes our way 'in sickness and in health'. An important part tof our main services is the sermon where we can go deeper into the Bible texts and bring out the wisdom and love that the Old Testament prophets and Jesus himself have preserved for us. You can read some of our sermons by clicking on this link.
It cheers us further to welcome the same couples when they bring children for baptisms, as many do. We even have a special service called Early Birds to meet their needs.

Goodell's presser closes meetings
At the conclusion of the 2013 NFL Owners' Meetings, Commissioner Roger Goodell held a news conference that covered a wide range of topics and focused primarily on the rules changes that had been voted upon and approved by the membership. Here are some of the other topics he touched upon:
ON THE FUTURE OF THE PRO BOWL:
Goodell: The Pro Bowl next year will be (on the Sunday) before the Super Bowl. I don't know the exact date. The answer going forward will be, again, if some of these changes are effective positive and lead to a better event, we will find a way to make this game better and hopefully more popular with our fans. Ultimately, that's what we are looking for. I have also spoken with several players who have participated in this game this past year, (asking them) what we can do to make it better for them and how can we improve the experience a little bit. We want to do that. We have to find ways to do some of those things.
ON THE LOCATION OF THE PRO BOWL:
Goodell: We are open-minded about that. Our agreement with Hawaii is just for the coming year, but I would expect that we will continue to be in Hawaii on some kind of rotational basis.
ON THE REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE, EXPANSION OF PLAYOFFS:
Goodell: I think we will have further discussions about it. I wouldn't want to point to it saying we will be making decisions by the spring of 2014. I feel strongly that we have to do the work, we have to do the analysis until we've gotten to a point where we have the right input, and frankly, we've talked to all of our partners. That includes players, the networks and, obviously, the 32 teams. There is a lot of work to be done, so I would not tie myself to that time frame. I think the discussions will continue and maybe be a little bit more intensive by then.
ON ROONEY RULE DISCUSSIONS:
Goodell: We spent quite a bit of time yesterday morning on that. Not just the Rooney Rule but also our overall efforts to promote the best talent in the NFL, in all positions. One of the major focuses we had was we are going to reinstate the symposium program that we've had in the past. It was primarily focused on coaches in the past, but we are likely to have some potential GM candidates also attend with the coaches. This will be a learning experience. This will be an opportunity for us to help give them greater tools to be able to advance their careers. We also want to be able to give them greater feedback on the interview process for those that may have interviewed. There was some discussion about the Rooney Rule. We did talk a little bit about giving more flexibility to teams when they asked for permission to interview candidates. It's good practice for you (the teams) to allow your employees to seek better opportunities and I'm hopeful the teams will do that more voluntarily. I think there are some very positive things going on and we're anxious to get into some of those programs, which will happen in early May.
ON ENHANCING THE IN-GAME EXPERIENCE FOR FANS:
Goodell: The primary responsibility is going to go to the teams. They are focused on this and I think we are all feeling the pressure to add value, to create a better experience for our fans in the stadium. Starting with Sunday night, where we had one of our broadcast partners here, Les Moonves, we talked about that the experience at home is outstanding, and it will continue to get better because of technology. Les made the point: the reality is we want people watching on television saying, 'I wish I was there. I want to be in that stadium.' We're fortunate. We are at 98 percent capacity on a league-wide basis, which is very positive. We have to find ways not only to bring fans into stadium, but make it a better experience for them. That's technology, security, making sure we take care of parking, concessions and the other things fans expect. We did spend a lot of time on this. We heard directly from some of those fans that were here this week about the things that were important to them, and what we have to do. The very subtle things as an example: instead of season ticket holders, they are season ticket members. We have to start finding ways in which we can engage with those fans on a year-round basis, and to demonstrate how important they really are to the game and our teams. I think you will see some very dramatic improvements. Will we have some league-wide efforts that go across all stadiums? Yes, I do see that.
ON PROHIBITING COACHING HIRES UNTIL AFTER THE SUPER BOWL:
Goodell: We had quite a bit of discussion about that; we did not see how that was really going to work. There were a number of issues with it. We think the smarter approach here is to have the Rooney Rule in place, which we think has been incredibly effective. We were disappointed in the results this year. We think that some of the changes we are making to make sure we get the right candidates better training, and we really are doing a better job of getting them in front of the people who are making the decisions. That is going to be the best way to pay dividends.
ON MAKING THIGH AND KNEE PADS MANDATORY:
Goodell: Yes, we passed that. We have had discussions with the union going back four and five years on this issue. It was passed at the May meeting last year for implementation this year. We have done some additional testing of those pads with some of our partners. I think the University of Virginia was the one who implemented the testing. They can have a very positive impact on the safety of our players. We are going forward with that.
ON WHETHER TO INCLUDE THE HIRING OF COORDINATORS IN THE ROONEY RULE:
Goodell: We are going to continue to talk about that. We have talked about that a lot with the Fritz Pollard Alliance. We have talked a lot about it with our internal committee. We did raise it with the membership. One of the clubs made the point about (needing) to do more about the flexibility for our people to interview. When there is an opening, it is good practice to allow your best people to interview and have that opportunity to get a new job. That will attract even better people. That is what the whole effort here is about: to get the best people the best opportunities. That's what everyone is asking for and looking for. We are making progress on that and hopefully, some of the changes we are making will even be more beneficial.
ON NEGATIVE COMMENTS FROM PLAYERS ABOUT THE RULE CHANGES:
Goodell: The No. 1 thing is these decisions are not made in isolation. They are made with a lot of input from almost every one of the entities you just discussed: current players, former players, current coaches, former coaches, general managers and fans. You have to balance all of those issues. They spend a lot of time going through this and they come back with recommendations of techniques that they think can improve the game, but more importantly improve safety. We have demonstrated that the game is safer and the game is better. We can do both of those. That is what we are proud of. We are going to continue to do that intelligently.

Q: Ambiente de desenvolvimento para ReactJS Utilizo o Visual Studio com Asp.Net e C# há alguns anos e agora estou terminando alguns cursos de ReactJS. Porém estou tendo dificuldades com o ambiente de desenvolvimento.
Nenhum dos cursos utilizou o Visual Studio. Apenas o VS Code. E as aplicações durante os cursos são criadas utilizando o NPM do Node.
Atualmente consigo criar um projeto no Visual Studio e instalar o ReactJS + Babel sem problemas, pois são apenas libs que podem ser importadas no HTML... Mas quando o assunto é dependências, módulos e outras coisas que normalmente são instaladas pelo NPM não sei o que fazer ou não consigo achar um equivalente que funcione bem no Visual Studio.
Quais bibliotecas são recomendadas? Como ultrapassar essa difícil relação entre NPM e VS?

A: Você consegue colocar os comandos do npm no próprio prompt de comando do windows. Vc só precisa entrar na pasta do projeto.
O padrão para instalação de pacotes no react independe da IDE.

Xiao, T., and Baier, H. (2007) Lamina-specific axonal projections in the zebrafish tectum require the type IV collagen Dragnet. Nature Neuroscience. 10(12):1529-1537.
The mechanisms underlying the precise targeting of tectal layers by ingrowing retinal axons are largely unknown. In zebrafish, individual axons choose one of four retinorecipient layers upon entering the tectum and remain restricted to this layer, despite continual remodeling and shifting of their terminal arbors. In dragnet mutants, by contrast, a large fraction of retinal axons aberrantly trespass between layers or form terminal arbors that span two layers. The dragnet gene, drg, encodes collagen IV(alpha5) (Col4a5), a basement membrane component lining the surface of the tectum. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are normally associated with the tectal basement membrane but are dispersed in the dragnet mutant tectum. Zebrafish boxer (extl3) mutants, which are deficient in HSPG synthesis, show laminar targeting defects similar to those in dragnet. Our results show that the collagen IV sheet anchors secreted factors at the surface of the tectum, which serve as guidance cues for retinal axons.

About Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read
Original, experimental, and unparalleled in their charm, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There have enchanted readers for generations. The topsy-turvy dream worlds of Wonderland and the Looking-Glass realm are full of the unexpected: A baby turns into a pig, time stands still at a "mad" tea-party, and a chaotic game of chess turns seven-year-old Alice into a queen. These unforgettable tales—filled with sparkling wordplay and unbridled imagination—balance joyous nonsense with poignant moments of longing for the lost innocence of childhood.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig; time is abandoned at a tea-party; and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.

"A work of glorious intelligence and literary devices…Nonsense becomes a form of higher sense"
–Malcolm Bradbury
"Alice in Wonderland is one of the top 25 books of all time. I always loved the book and I always loved the various characters, the psychedelic nature of it and kind-of odd allegorical stories inside stories. I always thought it was beautiful."
"Wonderland and the world through the Looking Glass were, I always knew, different from other imagined worlds. Nothing could be changed, although things in the story were always changing…Carroll moves his readers as he moves chess pieces and playing cards."
"It would not have occurred to me even to suspect that the "children's tale" was in brilliant ways coded to be read by adults and was in fact an English classic, a universally acclaimed intellectual tour de force and what might be described as a psychological/anthropological dissection of Victorian England. It seems not to have occurred to me that the child-Alice of drawing rooms, servants, tea and crumpets and chess, was of a distinctly different background than my own. I must have been the ideal reader: credulous, unjudging, eager, thrilled. I knew only that I believed in Alice, absolutely."
"The Alices are the greatest nonsense ever written, and far greater, in my view, than most sense."

After finishing second in 2015, Greg Van Avermaet (BMC) won this year's edition of the Gullegem Koerse kermesse after beating fellow escapees Yves Lampaert (Etixx-QuickStep) and Tosh Van der Sande (Lotto-Soudal) in a sprint. The trio finished 24 seconds ahead of the next rider, Edward Theuns, after spending around 160km out front.
"Hard day in the saddle but that's what I like about a kermesse race. Fullgaz all day with @yveslampaert and @Toshvds #GullegemKoerse," Van Avermaet wrote on Twitter following the race.
The race was Van Avermaet's first in Belgium since crashing out of the Tour of Flanders at the beginning of April. He, Lampaert and Van der Sande escaped on lap two of 18 and had almost three minutes on the chasing pack at one point. As the gap came down, the pace of the peloton caused a split with Andre Griepel (Lotto-Soudal) being forced to chase back on. The three held on though and Van Avermaet pipped Lampaert to the win.
The Gullegem Koerse was also billed as the final race on Belgium soil for Fabian Cancellara (Trek-Segafredo). The Swiss rider was one of those that missed out when the bunch split and he rolled in at 49 seconds behind Van Avermaet.
Mads Pedersen to sign for AG2R-La Mondiale?
Danish 20-year-old Mads Pedersen has been linked with a move to the French WorldTour team Ag2r-La Mondiale from 2017.
Pedersen, who rides for Stölting Service Group, enjoyed a stage win at the Tour of Norway last month along with the mountains classification. He also won the young rider classification at the Three Days of De Panne and won the U23 Gent-Wevelgem in the spring.
According to Danish magazine cykelmagasinet, the deal with Ag2r was cemented in the spring following a string of good results and performances.
In 2013 Pedersen won the Junior Paris-Roubaix and claimed bronze in the junior time trial at the world championships.
Giovanni Visconti (Movistar) finished ninth on the final mountain stage of the Giro d'Italia and ended the race just outside the top 10 but it was with some pain that he did so. The Italian sought medical advice following the Giro only to discover that he had fractured a rib and had a pulmonary contusion.
The injuries were as a result of a crash Visconti suffered when he touched wheels with Damiano Cunego (Nippo-Vini Fantini) on stage 13, while the pair were sprinting to a KOM point.
Mikel Nieve (Team Sky) got a huge welcome when he returned to his hometown of Leitza after winning the mountains classification at the Giro d'Italia. Around 400 people turned out in the town centre to celebrate the Basque rider's achievement.
As he made his way to a stage in the main square, Nieve was given a guard of honour from the local cycling club, who raised bicycle wheels to form the guard. He spent some time signing autographs for the many children who had turned up to see him.
The diariodenavarra.es website published photos of the occasion.
Nieve won the mountains classification by 19 points over Damiano Cunego, and claimed his second ever Giro d'Italia stage victory on stage 13.
Eduardo Sepúlveda (Fortuneo-Vital Concept) will return to racing action at the Tour of Luxembourg just over three months after breaking his wrist at the La Drome Classic.
The Argentinian climber broke his wrist when he was hit by a barrier that had been blown by the wind at the finish of the race, with the impact also knocking him unconscious.
"After 100 days out, back to racing. With much motivation I'm coming back step by step," said Sepúlveda on his Instagram page, accompanying a photo of his jersey for the Tour of Luxembourg, with dossard number 91.
"91 is the year of my birth. A sign? Yes, one of starting anew."


Capitaine Roger Blanc, an investigator with the anti-corruption-unit of the French Gendarmerie, was a bit too succesful in his investigations. He finds himself removed from Paris to the south of France, far away from political power. Or so it would seem.

Everyone is optimistic except for retailers. The data still hasn't reflected the optimism quite yet, but it should eventually. Inflation will likely follow. Still, some early inflation indicators aren't flashing warning signs.
Companies are doing better than they would have thought
"I think everybody is optimistic…it's really not specific to one particular industry, okay. It's really across the board and it's across the country, whether it be if you're on the East Coast, West Coast, the mid chapters, what have you, all of our companies are all simultaneously doing better than, frankly, we would have thought." —Reliance Steel CEO Gregg Mollins (Steel Distributor)
Fluor thinks were at the beginning of a sustained up-cycle
"we think we're at the absolute bottom of the cycle and what we see is an improving slate of things to chase… I think we're kind of in the beginning stages of what I would argue would be a sustained positive capital cycle" —Fluor CEO David Seton (Engineering & Construction)
The optimism still hasn't fully filtered into the data quite yet though
"do we feel more optimistic about 2017 than we did a quarter ago? The short answer is yes. There is considerable data that shows broad expectations for stronger GDP growth in 2017…A somewhat longer answer to the question starts with our data. Looking at group booking trends and special corporate negotiations…we do not yet have clear enough proof that GDP is in fact growing at a higher rate, or that the greater prevailing optimism is impacting our business" —Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson (Hotels)
Customers are more eager, but still acting carefully
"even though the customers are a little more eager to get some of these things done, they're still going through what I would argue is a more detailed gating process than they've gone through maybe in that last boom. And I think prudently so…I think it's just a matter of good, prudent gating processes. But as I said, we're seeing an increase in activity." —Fluor CEO David Seton (Engineering & Construction)
Inventories are ready to be rebuilt
"the real difference this year is, we aren't seeing a significant decline in that retail environment year-over-year…And as a result of that we're able to produce largely to retail demand…In a year where you start to see the retail environment improving, that's when we would consider starting to lift that inventory level in line with that." —Deere IR Tony Huegel (Agriculture Equipment)
Inflation should start showing up soon
"We would expect that you're going to see a change. We already started to see it in the fourth quarter in some of the businesses. The price lag usually is several quarters for us…we're going to have some margin pressure from inflation in the first couple of quarters…there are certain markets where we've clearly seen wage inflation driven by the low unemployment" —Ecolab CEO Doug Baker (Business Services)
But not all inflation indicators are flashing warning signs
Companies aren't stockpiling inventories
"It happens all the time when price increases go up, some of the companies, the end users, they buy ahead of it. But we don't see huge buys ahead of it that's going to impact our inventories and then future purchases. So, I think it's going to – it's nothing unusual. I think it's pretty much business as usual." —Reliance Steel CEO Gregg Mollins (Steel Distributor)
"Bid validity" hasn't shortened
"I would have thought that some of the pressures would have already started to creep up in terms of cost of commodities, cost of engineered equipment items and the like. But we're in a middle of a couple of significant mid-cycles and we haven't seen any dramatic increase or expectation of increase in terms of the bid validity from some of these vendors. In lot of cases, when you start to see inflationary pressures, you'll start to see the bid validity on some of these things shorten. And we have not seen that phenomenon yet in the marketplace." —Fluor CEO David Seton (Engineering & Construction)
A border adjusted tax would be a big bet with unknown consequences
"Let's say the Brady Plan with the border adjustability provision was passed. It would be favorable for us…we don't think that's ultimately what's going to probably get through, but who knows? I think the bigger question is what's its impact on the overall economy…I'm not totally comfortable with the border adjustability just as a big, big bet on a big piece of our economy and nobody knows exactly how it plays out and that seems to us unwarranted because the other parts of the proposal, we think, are almost guaranteed wins." —Ecolab CEO Doug Baker (Business Services)
The financial world is excited for regulatory relief
"with respect to finance, matters are changing so quickly, almost on a day-to-day basis, but it's really the first of the year where you start to get this building momentum that there will be strong regulatory relief in the financial world and the optimism that is in some respects derived from that." —Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson (Hotel)
The housing market is strong, especially in California
"Home buyers are beginning to realize gains on the sales of their homes, which gives them the confidence, flexibility and down payment money to trade up into one of our homes. This increased home equity, gains in the stock market, the prospects of potentially lower tax rates and less sensitivity towards mortgage interest rates, due to generally larger down payments and stronger personal balance sheets, seems to be contributing to increased demand for our homes…With respect to California, yes, hot is the right word to describe it." —Toll Brothers CEO Douglas Yearly (Homebuilder)
Home Depot believes that 7% mortgage rates wouldn't change much
"our analysis would show that for every 25-basis point increase in mortgage rates, it costs the homeowner who's applied for a mortgage $40 more per month. So that helps sort of dimensionalize the pressure associated with rising rates. With the median home price in the country of $250,000, mortgage rates could go up to 7-ish percent before the Affordability Index would fall at 100 or below. So there's a way to go before we'd be concerned. And you know what, mortgage rates stand today at 4.2%, 4.3%, something like that, the historical mean is 5.8%. So even if a return to the mean, you're still below that inflection point." —Home Depot CFO Carol Tome (Home Goods)
Macy's sounded defeated
"we were not able to overcome the secular changes in the industry related to shopping habits. These changes appear to have had a bigger impact on our store business than we had expected. We recognize we need to make dramatic changes in how we operate the business." —Macy's CFO Karen Hoguet (Retail)
Older retailers want to believe that brick and mortar still has a purpose
"The Supercenter remains the best retail format in the world, and going forward, we will continue to leverage these unique assets, even more with initiatives like online grocery, in-store pickup and others. Rapid advances in technology mean we need to become more of a digital enterprise – and that's what we're doing." —Wal-Mart CEO Doug McMillon (Retail)
"Our overall perspective though and the importance of our store portfolio remains the same. We believe stores are very important and critical component of our future success, and we're committed to leverage them to their full extent. There's great power in stores in an omnichannel world." —Kohls CEO Kevin Mansell (retail
"I've said this before, if the department store did not exist today, there'd be a group of smart people sitting in Silicon Valley inventing the department store today, because it will serve a purpose." —Macy's CEO Terry Lundgren (Retail)
Retail lenders are getting concerned
"We are nervous about retail and restaurants frankly these days because we've seen a weak consumer, and in retail in particular we've seen real changes in the way people buy things, i.e., online versus in stores and in malls in particular." —Ares Capital Corp CEO Kip deVeer (Business Development Co)
Ecolab sees a big opportunity to monetize customer data
"I think the opportunity to use the information that we already capture within customers much more effectively to drive value, merchandise the value we create, develop new opportunities and ways to help customers obviously with their full partnership represents a huge opportunity for the company. Whether it's specifically monetizing the information, i.e. charging for it or it's instead used as a means of us better helping customers and being more valuable, I think it's probably the latter. It's my guess as we move forward. We're in early innings. We certainly do it in many instances today, but I think our ability to up our game there is fairly dramatic…So the hard part is capturing the data. Connecting to the cloud isn't technically very complicated, and that's the work that we're doing. And then synthesizing it, rationalizing it, making it valuable for customers is, like, real work, and we're partnering with some great partners to learn how to do this and improve our capabilities there, which I think we've talked about. I mean Microsoft is a company that we've been leveraging there in many ways, sales force and other parts of our business, and we'll continue to do that as we move forward. So I think it's going to be huge for the company. It will not impact material 2017. I'm not even sure it will materially impact 2018, but in the not too distant future it's going to be a core way of us doing business." —Ecolab CEO Doug Baker (Business Services)
Elon Musk wants to stay at Tesla forever
"I expect to remain with Tesla essentially forever, unless somebody kicks me out. So, that remains my intention." —Tesla CEO Elon Musk (Automobiles)
The energy industry is showing signs of life
"we are encouraged by early signs of life in the energy market. In regard to energy, the general consensus from our customer base throughout the country is more positive today than it was 90 days ago. We've been seeing improved quoting activity and order flows, though order sizes have been much smaller." —Reliance Steel CEO Gregg Mollins (Steel Distributor)
"I mean I think there're two energy markets right now. North America is clearly turning and the rest of the world has not yet turned and probably we won't expect to see a turn there until the second half of this year. But with that said, I think our view on the Energy business is clearly more favorable than the last couple of years." —Ecolab CEO Doug Baker (Business Services)
Even the mining industry may be turning
"I think mining improved dramatically throughout the year, but it was still down mid-single digits in the fourth quarter. We would expect mining to probably trip into positive territory, either Q1 or Q2 latest, as we go through this year." —Ecolab CEO Doug Baker (Business Services)
Competition is good in a new market
"DIRECTV NOW launched at the end of November. And my take on what we saw is an expansion of the OTT market by their entry. So we didn't see through the quarter any change in the momentum that we had on Sling TV including in the month of December after they launched. We know that they added a lot of subscribers in that month. So our hope, we've been expecting more competition for quite a while for Sling TV, and our expectation has been that as new entrants enter the market, the market just expands faster, which is typically what you see in early-stage markets like this." —Dish Roger Lynch (Satellite TV)
Strike when your competitors are distracted
"I would say over the years in a number of instances we've had situations where competitors go through the distraction of either a large acquisition and/or being sold or bought or whatever you want to call it. In all cases, we do view that as an opportunity, and we try not to miss those opportunities as we move forward." —Ecolab CEO Doug Baker (Business Services)


My son cleaned out his room some more, and I now have probably 100 cans each of green and yellow beans. This will be my new lunch staple since I am almost through the 33 packages of frozen mixed vegetables I bought on sale.
Tip to grandparents: giving healthy food to kids doesn't ensure they eat it.
100 cans each, 200 cans total? That's a lot, I'm guessing you're going to get tired of those beans long before they're gone.
There's usually food drives starting around this time of year, so if it hasn't already crossed your mind, I'd be thinking about donating some of those.
I do not think the food drives will take them. He was storing them in the attic. I cleaned off the tops, but some have dust under the pull tabs I could not remove. Some are dented, some expired.
Our food bank will take dusty and dented - we put them on the "take whatever you want" table and they go.
we will take expired for the same table if it was the last month. High acid foods a little longer.
I always try to get a useful/functional gift for extended family and friends for Christmas. Last year everyone got a small but powerful flashlight that turned out very well. (people ended up using them and were very surprised at how well they functioned in their various situations). Happy to say that I have already gotten this year's gifts for all and at a very reasonable price. Oh, the item is Mens and Womens faux sherpa lined, non-skid slipper socks. Very few gifts left to come up with so I'm actually looking forward to other aspects of the holidays.
Now that temps are cooler and odors aren't magnified as much I am going to try following If it's yellow let it mellow. This will only be at home.
I have found my inexpensive individual presents for co-workers and my leadership team members - chocolate foil ornaments for all staff (if you don't want to eat them they're still pretty....) and "million dollar" chocolate bars for our leadership team, because I think we're all worth it! DH will pick something he wants from Harbor Freight or the local hardware store. I have some stuff DD collects to give her, and will also give her some cash to put towards expenses or whatever. I have some small specialty food items for our second child that they would not get for theirself, and will also give them some gift cards or cash - probably cards for groceries and/or gas. I always go in with my sister to buy a gift card for our brother, and his wife is part of our "girls trips/no presents" brigade. So - that part of the holiday is taken care of, for reasonable amounts of money! Our mortgage will be done by year's end, so I can concentrate that money towards savings/paying off the credit that we ended up needing this summer. Hopefully that will be paid off in January and we can look forward to a better year in 2019!
With the time change I am weaning off my coffee, and started by having tea in the morning at home instead of the bottles of expensive Starbucks I was drinking. For now I will still have my second coffee free at work and then another tea at noon from my supply (a box for $2.50). I will also be finishing up the almond milk and not buying more. This will be a virtuous triangle - less expense, fewer processed foods with their packaging, and a lighter load of groceries to haul in the house during inclement winter weather.
Since I began reacquiring a collection of vintage vinyl records, I've gotten into the habit of visiting roadside yard and garage sales. Most of the stuff there is what ends up in hoarders houses that survivors have to throw out or liquidate. But I find some cheap vinyl on occasion.
By this time of the year its unsual to see any sales due to the inclement weather. Yesterday I found a guy with a Bose Acoustimass sound system out for sale. These are small 3. 1/2 inch cubes for tweeters and a bass woofer that takes up very little space and appeals to the minimalist in me. They were pretty filthy so I had my doubts. He sold the system plus a Bose surround speaker to me for $5.
All for the price of two large French vanilla cappuccinos at Tim Hortons.

All aboard the Lulz boat.
The media, just in case you haven't noticed, is a strange beast. The people behind it get terribly excited about sexy, new things like "hacking", even if they have even only a very rudimentary knowledge of the subject; then they suddenly remember that the people behind it are mostly bedroom or basement dwelling virgins with greasy hair and bad teeth, qualities they share with a fair few bloggers (is this right? Ed.) and realise they could be next. Best then to spray around negative epithets in a similar fashion to someone who's just had their Facebook profile hijacked and their picture changed to goatse.
This Sun article is just such a glorious example. Even before Ryan Clearly had been charged with any offence his entire life story was gracing the pages of the Daily Mail and Sun, although quite where and how quickly they managed to discover that he had been suspended from school from disruptive behaviour at the age of 5 and had attempted at suicide at the age of 10 it's difficult to know. We're told that this geeky, nerdy oddball turned his sparsely decorated bedroom into the "centre of a global hacking movement", at the same time as which he was apparently attending an unnamed university even though his mother also said that he suffers from agoraphobia and hasn't left the house in four years.
Lulz Security, the group Clearly has been linked to, thought this a rather rum do. "If you don't kick, hit or throw some kind of sports-related object at least thirty-five times a week, you are a filthy recluse to The Sun", they tweeted, although as yet they haven't turned their sights on the paper, which is something of a shame. The group themselves are denying that Clearly had anything other than a extremely loose connection to them; they used his IRC server as one of their bases, and that was about as far as it went. Indeed, despite the briefings and claims that Clearly was a key member or even the only member, something which was always laughable, the charges brought against him tonight only back up LulzSec's denials, and the Met have not claimed, officially at least, that he was part of the group. Apart from controlling a botnet, he's accused of turning it on the websites of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry and its British partner, as well as the Serious and Organised Crime's internet base, which was brought low on Monday. While LulzSec claimed responsibility for bringing it down, whether Clearly's (alleged) attack came after or was done in conjunction we simply don't yet know.
What is clear is that the media for the most part still doesn't know its arse from its elbow when it comes to anything even vaguely related to either internet subculture or online security. Hacking remains the catch-all term, even when Clearly hasn't been charged with any actual hacking, such as the recent security breaches which have befallen Sony or any other number of those targeted by LulzSec, most of which were achieved through relatively simple to pull off MySQL injections, or other vulnerablities. As LulzSec themselves tweeted, the DDoS attacks they've launched are "of course our least powerful and most abundant ammunition". Likewise, while LulzSec does seem to have emerged from Anonymous and the two, despite alleged ructions, are still working together, how far the links now go back to eBaum's World* is difficult to tell. True, the group's attitude and its effective mission statement are all based around the insouciant, uncaring, unforgiving nature of Anonymous, but this has now gone far beyond the targeting of specific groups which threatened internet freedom or had withdrawn their services from Wikileaks.
Certainly, in the current hilarious if it wasn't so serious climate where the United States has just declared that internet attacks on it could be responded to militarily, LulzSec's Operation Anti-Security proclamation urging assaults on any government that turns against them seems to be an open invitation for a mass party vanning. With the war against terror beginning to wind down, the good old military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned about needs to persuade governments of a new threat, and cyber attacks seem to be what they're latching onto. That this threat is even more imaginary than the much feared waves of suicide bombings that were meant to follow September the 11th, and even less dangerous than the average bedroom jihadist doesn't seem to matter; the defence budget has to go somewhere.
Easy as it is to approve of LulzSec forcing governments and corporations to put far better safeguards in place when it comes to the collection of their users' personal information, even if you don't find favour with their far less agreeable encouragement of Facebook or Paypal account hijacking with the data they've posted, it's difficult to see what it will end up achieving in the long run. For underneath the claim that they "don't give a living fuck at this point" at the potential for them to be "brought to justice", you imagine that if some of them do end up serving long stretches of prison time, as those in the US definitely are threatened with should the full force of the law be brought down, they certainly will later on. Then again, this could be the troll to end all trolls, us having been the victims of the "lulz lizards" all along. In any case, I'm just a loser posting shit I think matters, and someone will be shortly be along to tell me that my shit does not matter.

Time is something I have in abundance, out here in the country. Heaps and heaps of time. It's odd, this feeling, given my activities don't change no matter where in the world I am. This is such an ideal environment for making stuff and/or getting things done – quiet enough to hear yourself think, and spacious enough that everyone can inhabit a working space without walking into someone else (a divine luxury). And Flemming's dad seems to think that my propensity for hiding away in a corner for hours at a time, is perfectly normal behaviour. A rare and precious thing.
Yesterday (which is the date of this post but I'm writing it tomorrow, which is really today) I re-read Stephen King's The Eye Of The Dragon from the 30% mark, where I'd left off, to its end. Because I could. Because my work and chores were done and it'd been a while since I've read all night. I live for these long, comfortable, solitary nights. Went to bed at 4am. This is also a divine luxury.
Yesterday I went for a gander up the road, and got my daily protein hit from all the bugs begging to be swallowed.A friend remarked that I must be missing the Aussie flies, but no. Danish bugs are easier to swallow. They don't buzz manically on the way down.
I admit: I titled the post after reading this one on Shifter. As always, reading Daniel's posts brings on a mix of shame (for being lazy: why aren't I out there making stuff?), and inspiration (all these things: Gonna do them, now!). If you aren't already reading Shifter, do so. Oh and he's slinging an X-T2 these days. And he's probably the only other person I've heard of, who kills equipment as randomly as I do.
XT2 has now survived the "critical period," which is the first two weeks. But, I'm off to the Palm Springs Festival for a week. The camera will get more use. I've yet to really shoot something deep with the camera, but hopefully soon. I need a second body. The changing lenses things…haven't had to do that since 1988. Always two bodies. I didn't think it would be a big deal but it is. I'm doing a lot of quick portraits and I've noticed that changes lenses is as bad as chimping. The person being photographed just checks out for a minute and I don't like that break. I'm telling you this as a first step toward begging for sponsorship from Fuji and seventy-two other companies I'm about to put the vibe out to.
We have such limited time. Making everyday is one way to feel like we are slowing down an undeniable reality.
I can't wait for the review. Imagine how hard you'll be trending!
I try to make something everyday. But not at the level you or your counterparts do. Read an interview with Chloe Ferres over at Caffeine and Concrete and was struck by how much she does, still managing to produce her own work. It's inspirational.


Do I need a Birmingham car accident lawyer?
Most likely, yes. Insurance companies are unlikely to deal with you fairly. You must have strong legal representation. An Alabama car accident lawyer will help you file your claim, negotiate, build a powerful case, and pursue fair and full compensation. At the Guster Law Firm, LLC we charge no fees until we successfully settle your case, or achieve a jury award for damages.
Alabama is a "contributory negligence" state, meaning that if you are found to be partially at fault in the accident, you cannot recover monetary damages. It doesn't matter how slight your fault, or how high your losses were. That's why it's important to have an experienced attorney representing you in court.
How is fault determined in Alabama?
Fault is determined in a variety of ways. Eyewitness reports and police reports are both very important factors. Photographic evidence also plays a role. It may be necessary to call upon professional accident reconstruction experts, depending upon the available evidence.
This depends very much on your case. It is difficult to proceed until your medical condition has stabilized. As car accident attorneys, we want to have the best possible information about your condition. Once your doctors determine that your condition is stable, our attorneys at the Guster Law Firm, LLC can move into action and will do everything possible to get a settlement paid to you in a timely manner.
How much is my Alabama car accident case worth?
The only way to value a case is on an individual basis. Every case is unique in how it happened, who was involved, and the level of injuries. At our firm, we make it easy to find out the value of your case. Simply use our online contact form, or call us directly. If you are unable to come to our office, we will make arrangements to come and see you.
Contact us today for legal representation you can trust. You can reach a Birmingham injury attorney at Guster Law Firm, LLC by calling (205) 386-6844.

Man in headdress, man seen removing Pelosi's lectern among those charged in Capitol riots

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Three men were charged in federal court Saturday in connection with the pro-Trump riots at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
The first of the three men is Jacob Anthony Chansley, a.k.a. Jake Angeli. The U.S. Attorney's Office identified him as the man seen in photos dressed in horns, a bearskin headdress, face paint, shirtless and with tan pants. He was also spotted carrying a spear with an American flag tied just below the blade.
Officials say Chansley was taken into custody Saturday and the Arizona man is being charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or ground without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
The second man charged is Adam Johnson, who officials say is the man who was seen illegally entering the Capitol and removing the Speaker Nancy Pelosi's lectern from where it was stored.
Johnson, who is from Florida, is being charged with one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, one count of theft of government property, and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. He was arrested Friday and remains in custody.
The third man charged is Derrick Evans. Officials say he's a recently elected member of the West Virginia House of Delegates who allegedly went live on Facebook, showing himself joining and encouraging a crowd unlawfully entering the Capitol. In the video, Evans is allegedly seen crossing the threshold of the doorway into the Capitol and shouting, "We're in, we're in! Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!"
Evans is being charged with one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol Grounds. He was taken into custody Friday.
These cases are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia and investigated by the FBI's Washington Field Office and the U.S. Capitol Police.
At least five people have died as a result of the riots at the Capitol, including a Capitol police officer who was injured during the insurrection, a woman who was shot by law enforcement, and three others who officials say suffered medical emergencies.
The FBI is still looking for individuals who may have incited or promoted violence of any kind. Anyone with digital material or tips can call 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324) or submit images or videos at fbi.gov/USCapitol.
