"Only the Good..." is the final episode in the eighth series and the original run of the British science fiction series Red Dwarf. It was first shown in the UK on 5 April 1999 in the 9:00 pm BBC2 time slot, and was written by Doug Naylor and directed by Ed Bye. The episode also marks the final regular appearance of Chloë Annett as Kochanski and Norman Lovett as Holly. Both characters would reappear in a guest capacity in later episodes. This would be the last series of Red Dwarf to broadcast on BBC2. Red Dwarf: Back to Earth would be the next instalment of the series.

Plot
The episode begins with a few lines of text explaining that the starship Hermes has been destroyed by a synthetic, highly corrosive micro-organism. An escape pod from the ship carries a lone survivor, Talia Garrett. The pod and the woman are picked up by Red Dwarf, but it is revealed that the microbe has also been brought on board when part of the empty escape pod dissolves away.

Now some time into their prison sentence, the Dwarfers have been put on probation for good behaviour. Arnold Rimmer is attending to Captain Hollister as he recovers from yellow fever. Hollister notices that Rimmer has tried to slip in a form pardoning him from all crimes. Rimmer explains his ambition to become an officer someday, perhaps even a captain.  Hollister tells him he is not officer material and dismisses him as Talia enters. It seems that the Captain and Talia know each other from the past. Rimmer, disgusted at the Captain's success with women and his own failure in that regard, leaves. In the corridor he attempts to steal some chocolate from the vending machine, only for the AI of the machine to promise revenge. Rimmer tells the machine that the day that happens he'll be captain of the ship.

Meanwhile, back in The Tank, Kryten tells Lister that he is changing Miss Kochanski's calendar, as she had earlier complained to him that it was "The wrong time of the month". Lister realises what is going on and instructs Kryten secretly on how to behave. Kochanski returns to her cell and discovers Kryten has attempted to celebrate her period with a banner that reads 'Have A Fantastic Period' as well as giving her a gift-wrapped tampon and encouraging her to try it on and give it a twirl. Kochanski makes Kryten realise he's been tricked.

Later, in Lister and Rimmer's cell, they discover that Kryten, in an act of revenge, has hidden Baxter's illegal moonshine in their cell, just after Holly informs them of a cell inspection. Knowing that being caught with it will cost them probation, and with the water tank full the two have no choice but to drink the hooch. As a result, both are drunk when Ackerman arrives for the inspection. When Baxter finds out, believing his hooch was stolen by Rimmer and Lister, he threatens to finish off the two, now in sickbay, sleeping off the stomach pump. The two decide they need to escape. Kryten and Kochanski pretend to be ill to land in sickbay, while the Cat is forced to disguise himself as a nurse after his attempts to get beaten up only result in the toughest prisoner in The Tank offering to be his bitch.  As the Dwarfers escape they find that the microbe from the Hermes is now eating away at Red Dwarf. They decide to tell Hollister (against Rimmer's advice), who then announces that Red Dwarf will be abandoned—however, due to a shortage of escape craft, the prisoners will be left behind to die.

Now that the Dwarfers have the run of the ship, Kryten and Kochanski devise a plan which involves entering a mirror universe where everything is opposite; negative becomes positive and a virus becomes an antidote.  Kryten builds a prism laser and directs it at a mirror to create a dimensional gateway. Rimmer crosses over with a sample of the virus, only for the device to break and trap him in the mirror universe. He realises he is not a failure in this universe but is instead Captain, and berates the alternative Hollister, now a 2nd Technician, for being useless. When Talia comes in, Rimmer, thinking she is his lover, snogs her, only to be told she is his spiritual advisor. Rimmer quickly goes to the science lab to talk to the professor, the alternative Cat, who knows the formula for the antidote (Cesiumfrancolithicmyxialobidiumrixydixydoxidexidroxhide). Given the complicated name, Rimmer asks for it to be written down.

Rimmer triumphantly returns to his universe with the formula written down only to find Red Dwarf a flaming inferno falling apart with the others gone. The dispensing machine tells him that the other Dwarfers had repaired the prism and followed him into the mirror universe and Rimmer is now the ship's Captain since he's now the only crew member remaining. Rimmer tries to return to the mirror universe, but the microbe has destroyed the laser. Believing it to be his only hope, he prepares to create the antidote but the dispensing machine points out that the formula he has written down is now the formula for the virus, having reverted into its mirror opposite. After exchanging insults, the machine finally gets its own back on Rimmer by launching a can at his head and hitting him, knocking him to the ground and causing the now useless slip of paper containing the formula to burn up from the surrounding flames.

The episode ends with the Grim Reaper, played by series director Ed Bye, coming to claim Rimmer as Adagio for Strings plays in the background. Rimmer kicks Death in the crotch and runs off down the flaming corridor, claiming that "Only The Good Die Young" as Death winces "That's never happened before ..." The episode ends with an ominous "The End" caption, but is soon refuted with its sudden erasure and replacement with a defiant "THE SMEG IT IS".

Production
This episode had a notorious production, going through numerous re-writes and re-shoots. The original climax, titled "Earth", was to have the Red Dwarf crew arrive back at Earth only for the ship to accidentally crash through the world's major landmarks. This was deemed too expensive to film, so an altogether different finale was written. Naylor would blame the expensive CGI dinosaur from "Pete" as the cause of the lack-of-budget for "Earth". One proposed ending was to feature Arnold Rimmer's dashing and heroic alter-ego Ace Rimmer returning to save the day (in reality, the 'original' Arnold Rimmer). However this ending was not filmed. This, too, was changed at the last moment and the character of Death itself was introduced.

The conclusion of this episode was a cliffhanger, although the ending of this last episode is open to interpretation. In 2009, ten years after the original broadcast of "Only the Good..."', a new special, Back to Earth, was broadcast by channel Dave. The events of "Only the Good..." are never referred to throughout the episode. It is not revealed what happened to Lister, Cat, Kryten and Kochanski once they crossed over into the mirror universe, or how or indeed if Rimmer escaped the decaying Red Dwarf – however, Rimmer is once again a hologram. The events are referred to at the end of the last episode of Series X, "The Beginning"; however, Rimmer is interrupted before exact details are given.

Tony Slattery – who had played an android in the soap Androids featured ten years previously in "Kryten" – took on Rimmer as the voice of the vending machine, sitting behind the unit and speaking his lines live on set. Other guest stars included Mac McDonald as Captain Hollister, Graham McTavish as Governor Ackerman, Heidi Monsen as Talia, Ricky Grover as Baxter and David Verrey as Big Meat.

Alternative filmed ending

An alternative ending where the Dwarfers clearly survive, and indeed even find themselves in a similar situation to the earlier series of Red Dwarf, was scripted and filmed but cut at the last minute. However, it is available for viewing on the series VIII DVD special features.

In this version of the episode, Rimmer successfully remembers the antidote to the microbe that is eating the ship. It takes him over two hours to memorise the name of the antidote, as he has to alternate between the mirror universe and back to read the name of the antidote (which becomes the chemical name of the microbe in our universe as the opposite of the antidote). However, Rimmer memorises the antidote just in time for Kryten to make up some of the chemical antidote and use it to destroy the microbe, ironic as everyone else already knew its name as common knowledge or from foundational chemistry lessons.

Red Dwarf having been saved from destruction, Rimmer takes up residence in the captain's quarters. Lister, Cat, and Kochanski party and celebrate at having survived, being no longer imprisoned in The Tank and once again having free run of the vessel. Kryten resumes his ironing duties.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Red Dwarf crew—Captain Frank Hollister and the rest of the flight officers—look on Red Dwarf helplessly from their fleet of Starbugs and Blue Midgets with which they escaped the disintegrating mothership. Kryten peeks through a porthole at the fleet and asks Rimmer if they should perhaps slow down Red Dwarf so that the rest of the crew can dock in the hangar bay and come aboard. Rimmer, reminiscent of Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 (in accordance with his military fantasies), replies 'Full ahead, Mr. Kryten, I see no ships!', sardonically saluting Hollister from afar.

The alternative ending concludes with Rimmer paying the money he owes to the dispensing machine he stole from earlier. However, the machine still fires a can at Rimmer's head, knocking him unconscious.

Team Kimberlin Post of the Day
Posted on 25 September, 2020 by wjjhoge
Brett Kimberlin's LOLsuits have failed because he has never been able to put together a logical argument that he has suffered any injury from truthful report about hime, his associates, and their activities. He's had particular difficulty understanding what is admissible under the Rules of Evidence. The TKPOTD from six years ago today deals with one of the many times he was stopped by the judge enforcing those rules during the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. trial.
It was pretty obvious from the load of … ah … junk he gave us in discovery for the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. nuisance lawsuit that The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin didn't understand the rules of evidence or how to properly structure his case. He proved both during the trial. For example, consider this question he was never able to ask of Stacy McCain because it dealt with hearsay.
MR. KIMBERLIN: So do you know what the Southern Poverty Law Center is?
MR. OSTRONIC: Objection Your Honor.
THE COURT: What does the Southern Poverty Law Center have to do with this case?
MR. KIMBERLIN: Well Mr. McCain has —
THE COURT: The Southern Poverty Law Center, what does that have to do with this case?
MR. KIMBERLIN: Mr. McCain is considered a neo-confederate — is one —
MR. OSTRONIC: Objection, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Well —
MR. KIMBERLIN: And the Southern Poverty Law Center
THE COURT: Hold on a second. Counsel I appreciate you objecting to my question but I'm not going to overrule myself. That's not something I do. So what does the Southern Poverty Law Center have to do with this case? I'm not asking you about Mr. McCain, I'm asking you about why are you asking him about the Southern Poverty Law Center?
MR. KIMBERLIN: I'm asking him the Southern Poverty Law Center is the leading, one of the leading civil rights organizations in the —
THE COURT: I understand all of that but what does it have to do with this case?
MR. KIMBERLIN: Because —
THE COURT: And the claim that you are making against these gentlemen?
MR. KIMBERLIN: Because Southern Poverty Law Center regularly outs racists —
MR. OSTRONIC: Objection.
THE COURT: So what if they do. What does that have to do with this case? This case isn't about racists or racism.
MR. KIMBERLIN: It's about hate. It's about hate. These people hate me and they do anything to destroy me.
THE COURT: Well but why are you asking this witness about the Southern Poverty Law Center? First of all he couldn't testify as to anything they said or did because it wouldn't be an exception to any hearsay rule. So you would never be able to get that in evidence anyway.
MR. KIMBERLIN: All right.
MR. KIMBERLIN: Mr.—
THE COURT: Your objection's sustained.
Of course, TDPK was trying to paint Stacy McCain as a racist, and that's nonsense. Furthermore, given some of the racial epithets that TDPK is on record as have said and written, it was particularly unseemly for him to be trying to tar anyone else with that brush.
Even if Stacy or I or any of our codefendants were racist, that had no bearing on whether or not what we said and wrote was true, and TDPK had to prove that our words were false. Stupid is as stupid does, and TDPK tried to bring up racism a second time.
MR. KIMBERLIN: Have you ever been identified as a member of the hate group League of the South?
THE COURT: I'm sorry, what was that, what group?
MR. KIMBERLIN: League of the South.
THE COURT: League of the South?
MR. KIMBERLIN: It's like an offshoot of the KKK.
MR. KIMBERLIN: It believes in —
THE COURT: What's that relevant to, sir?
MR. KIMBERLIN: Well he brought it up.
THE COURT: He didn't bring up the League of the South.
MR. KIMBERLIN: Huh?
MR. KIMBERLIN: He talked about he's not a racist.
THE COURT: Well the fact that he brought it up without objection doesn't make it relevant. I mean what is the jury going to do with this? We're not here about whether anybody is a racist or not, are we?
MR. KIMBERLIN: Well no, but he's tried —
MR. MCCAIN: You're white by the way.
Never try to outcrazy Stacy McCain.
It was almost worth all the hassle of the Kimberlin v. Walker, et al. LOLsuit to be able to watch Kimberlin destroy his own case by calling Aaron Walker, Ali Alexander, Stacy McCain, and Me at his witnesses. All we had to do to discredit his imagined narrative was to tell the truth. I suppose he was so unfamiliar with the truth that it caught him off guard.
BTW, the foreman of the jury (who was black) had been rolling his eyes as he listened to Kimberlin's line of questioning, and he chuckled at Stacy's "You're white by the way" comment.
Meanwhile back in 2020, it looks as if no one is buying into Kimberlin's latest false narratives. The @itstime_2020 Twitter account hasn't seen any new tweets for over a week, and itstie2020 dot org's global popularity ranking is still below 14,000,000. Also, while other English language Ukrainian news sites (e.g., Unian) have been covering the Senate report on Hunter Biden's foreign deals, empr dot media has ignored the story.
The Truth is out there. It's just not often found on one of Kimberlin's websites.

Could this be the end of Kmart homewares?
By Lauren Golman| 3 years ago
A big competitor has joined the market
Kmart's reign as the king of homewares is under threat, with Big W today launching a new campaign for its own winter collection.
Big W has spent a year perfecting products for the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room, in an effort to claw back customers from rivals Kmart and Target.
"We know we have our current customer and they keep coming back time and time again, but it is that new customer that we're reaching out for to say 'come back'," Big W's Head of Home, Kristine Faulkner, said.
A Current Affair was invited to preview the range at a home in Sydney, which Kristine had styled with Big W items priced under $59 each.
(A Current Affair)
Ms Faulkner insisted that despite the low prices, the store had not compromised on quality when it developed its new range.
"We actually go through a three-step stage - so each product, I get three samples. It gets tested three times so that the customer is satisfied with the quality."
But will Big W's collection win over the cult following currently entranced by Kmart's offering, and before that, Target's?
A Current Affair enlisted the help of interior designer and winner of The Block, Shannon Vos, to find out.
"Kmart have been very successful and I guess Big W are going to give them a run for their money," he said.
Shannon transformed three rooms in an old-fashioned home for under $200 each, using products from Big W, Kmart and Target.
He made over the bedroom with Big W's new offerings.
"It's super stylish for the budget - usually, you're spending $200 for a cushion."
Shannon turned a previously empty space into a home office with products from Kmart.
"I'm pretty impressed and I'm jealous - I love this office," he said.
"I love the desk - a timber look for $59, you can't go wrong. It's a functional desk - plenty of space for storage."
He decked out the dining room with Target's collection.
"It's not just a dinner set, it's the whole shebang," he explained.
Shannon felt the raw timber and stone-wear plates were on trend.
"You could spend thousands on dressing a table, but Target's done a good job here."
Big W's winter homewares collection is in stores now.

Emergency preparedness and response in healthcare facilities: reducing disaster risk
© Ibrahim Al-Mashraqi, UNICEF
Ahead of the International Day of Epidemic Preparedness on 27 December, researchers of the United Nations University – Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) and the Université Laval reviewed the emergency preparedness and response in health care facilities worldwide with a focus on water supply and wastewater management.
The research focused on the crucial and cascading impacts of disruptions of one critical infrastructure (water supply) to another (healthcare). The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 outlines this in Target D to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risks.
Disruptions of water and sanitation in hospitals are highly disadvantageous in attempting to deliver healthcare during and after an emergency situation, such as a flood or an earthquake, while battling an epidemic or even pandemic disease as is currently the case with COVID_19.
Results indicate that, in general, there is a higher focus on water supply than on wastewater management in emergency preparedness and response. In addition, plans for recovery after a disaster strikes were mainly lacking, researchers found.
Lead author Sophie van der Heijden of UNU-EHS explains: "Many of the reviewed studies mention the importance of reconstruction and restoration phases. However, the focus mainly lies on technical aspects of these phases, whereas organizational ones are largely absent. Despite their key role for preparedness and response, citizens' and patients' emergency preparedness and response in health care facilities perspectives are hugely underrepresented. This aligns with the larger context, as awareness-raising and stakeholder cooperation in general is addressed comparatively little."
The review concludes that combining organizational and technical aspects, and intersecting theory and practice will be necessary to address existing gaps.
"Improving preparedness and response is key to maintaining public health and providing primary care. All involved actors, including health care facilities, water suppliers and governmental authorities, must work together to ensure that basic water, sanitation and hygiene services can be provided and can rapidly recover in the event of an emergency. Our findings will hopefully help to counter growing risks and increase resilience of services we all depend on" says Simone Sandholz, Head of the Urban Futures and Sustainability Transformation (FAST) section at UNU-EHS.

No longer am I burdened, for I have removed my religious shackles.
No solid door, or mighty lock, can hold, when the spirit has finally risen.
My inner sight was finally restored when I accepted Balder's kindness.
Great Odin's wisdom, however, threatens to tear my human reasoning apart.
And the plots of Laufey's son, though not magic, sometimes puts me in a bind.
I know that the huntress Skadhi will make it right when I see her in my dreams.
I am not afraid of the gathering darkness, for I sit beneath Mani's protecting light.
For I have honored the Gods in the faith of my ancestors, and it is here I will stay !

Software consultants often come from engineering and programming backgrounds and are commonly code writers who advanced to project managers. Be sure to ask about certifications to give you a better idea of the consultant's scope of knowledge regarding programming languages and development capabilities. Working with the right software consultant can help you build apps for employees, customers, and vendors.
The type of IT support team in Wilmington that bills itself as "IT services" can mean many different things. You need to study the list of services they offer rather than assuming they do everything, unless they claim to be a turnkey solution. Not all companies who market themselves as "IT services" consider themselves to be consulting firms. Many companies come and go, but it's getting clearer which ones have staying power: typically, these companies have diversified, experienced talent.
One of the main drawbacks of a break-fix solution is that you don't necessarily know the talent level of support unless you ask. Technicians might be low-paid novices who don't care much about your business. Another problem is your maintenance bills are unpredictable with a company that charges by the hour. They have no incentive to learn your business quickly; whereas an IT consultant looks to develop long-term relationships by delivering efficient, high-performance solutions.
Choosing your IT support in Wilmington should be based on knowledge, skill, and experience so technical issues can be resolved quickly. Contact us at Partners Plus, Inc. to discuss how we can modernize your business and bolster your security.


moodboard/Thinkstock(HARAHAN, Louisana) -- The Harahan Police Department is very concerned about Zika virus in your meth -- and would love for you to just stop on by to drop it off for testing.
The department in Harahan, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans, made the tongue-in-cheek post late Saturday on Facebook.
"If you have recently purchased meth in any area of Louisiana it may be contaminated with the Zika Virus," the post read. "Please bring all of it to your local Police Department and they will test it for free. If you're not comfortable coming to us, an officer will be glad to come to you and test your Meth in the privacy of your home."
The post was shared about 2,000 times and had garnered about 1,200 reactions in the first 12 hours.
For the record, Harahan police officer Keith Moody -- who operates the department Facebook page -- told ABC News no one had taken them up on their offer for a trip to the county jail.
"Although the post was originally a lighthearted attempt at humor, a lot of great (and incredibly raw) intelligence can be cultivated from the comments," Moody told ABC News in a message.
There were in fact nearly 300 comments on the post overnight.
"There is a lot of great information obtained by reading threads," Moody said. "Criminals have a tendency to say/do some pretty incriminating behavior when given the opportunity to 'blow off.'"
Jokes aside, Moody told ABC News drugs continue to be a central fight for the department.
"The Methamphetamine and opioid epidemic is alarming and show no sign of slowing soon," he said.
Louisiana saw 7.7 opioid overdose deaths per 100,000 people in 2016, which is in the middle of the pack in the U.S. (36th), according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Methamphetamines were the fourth-highest drug involved in deadly overdoses in 2016, the most recent numbers available, according to a Centers for Disease Control report issued just three weeks ago.
The Harahan Police Department actually did collect 708 pounds of prescription drugs at a take back event last year, according to NOLA.com.

French Yellow Vest protesters marched anew Saturday to remind the government that rebuilding the fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral isn't the only problem the nation needs to solve.
Security was extra-high in Paris as authorities braced for resurgent yellow vest anger, and Paris police said some 137 people were detained by early afternoon.
Multiple protest events are being held around Paris and other cities Saturday for the 23rd weekend of the yellow vest movement against wealth inequality and President Emmanuel Macron's leadership.
Lebanese Christians in Beirut voice sadness and dismay after a fire tore through Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris and led the spire and much of the vaulted roof to collapse.

Libra Rising: Exploring Facebook's Cryptocurrency Project
Kayla Izenman
Commentary, 4 June 2019
Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies, Cyber, Technology
Facebook's cryptocurrency ambitions could transform the global financial system.
Early last month, the Wall Street Journal announced that Facebook is planning to launch a new cryptocurrency payments system, nicknamed 'Project Libra' and referred to internally as GlobalCoin. The cryptocurrency seems to be what is known as a 'stablecoin': a digital currency that is tied to the value of a traditional asset, such as the US dollar or pound, in an attempt to mitigate the wild fluctuations seen in the values of other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. The BBC recently reported that Facebook has already spoken to both the Bank of England and US Treasury, as well as Western Union and the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, but little remains known about the specifics of the coin.
The Wall Street Journal article indicated different ways Facebook might use this coin: checkout options for purchases; a modified mining structure if users interact or shop with advertisements (mining refers to the way new digital coins are generated by users solving algorithms with specialised computer software, essentially rewarding users for their increased interaction with the system); easier movement from advertisement to purchase; and elimination of card processing fees for vendors using the Facebook platform. Yet most of the details of this endeavour remain unknown. Concerned by the relative mystery of this proposed system, and especially following Facebook's recent data security breaches, members of the US Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs penned an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, calling for an explanation of how the coin would work and how Facebook would ensure both the security and privacy of its users as well as maintain compliance with existing financial regulations.
The stablecoin would be able to be sent between users and allow transactions across Facebook platforms and the greater internet. While this would certainly come in handy for some smaller companies, who might otherwise find it difficult or expensive to process online payments, the more interesting use would come in transactions or purchases between individuals, as Facebook is currently used by roughly one third of the world's population. Given WhatsApp's (owned by Facebook) predominance worldwide – and especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America – if it is integrated, a stable cryptocurrency has the potential to change the face of the worldwide financial system, if only because it would be so ubiquitous. However, it faces a multitude of practical issues, and Facebook's anticipation of these problems will be the key test of its financial product.
Certainly, being able to message a relative in another country and a moment later send funds without switching applications or entering bank details would be an incredibly easy way to transact globally, especially as WhatsApp already has a presence in areas that are underserved by traditional banking institutions. But users already distrust Facebook's footprint on many aspects of their online lives, and it may be a struggle to persuade people to hand over access to their financial records. And even if they do, this currency does not appear to solve recurring problems found in cryptocurrency usage: the questions of who will hold the funds, and how users can know their money will not be hacked. If the system underpinning cryptocurrency is a decentralised one, will Facebook be acting as a third party in moving or holding the funds? Will all vendors online accept Facebook's coin? How can it be turned into fiat – namely, legal tender, government-backed – currency? Furthermore, in underbanked parts of the world, how will it be able to be turned into cash?
None of these questions have answers, at least not until more is known about the system itself. Yet looking at them effectively illustrates the difficulty with cryptocurrency, especially ones attached to large multinational companies. Facebook does appear to be attempting to assuage investor and government concerns in advance of the release of its proposed currency; the company has recently hired two former compliance managers for Coinbase – a digital currency exchange – although neither they nor the company have responded to the US Senate's Banking Committee's letter.
Easily accessible, reliable and scalable solutions that serve unbanked customers remain elusive despite the increasing importance of financial inclusion. Given the ubiquity of Facebook and WhatsApp, such a solution could serve to improve both the cost and speed of global remittances, if the cash-out and compliance concerns are addressed appropriately.
Similarly, in a possible attempt to 'give back' to consumers, Facebook's mining structure could alleviate some of the pressure put on the company by users who feel cheated out of their information or data security with no recompense. Should Facebook decide to send users fractions of coins as rewards for clicking on advertisements, buying advertised products, or otherwise interacting with sponsored posts, users would likely feel less harassed by the constant barrage of targeted content. Operating like a loyalty points scheme, this may serve to both increase activity on the platform as well as spur interest by advertising entities.
Companies often use loyalty schemes to push customers to interact with their brand and continue to choose the brand over comparable alternatives. In Facebook's case, those alternatives would obviously be competing social media or payment platforms. With the rise of a multitude of other social media networks, Facebook may find success in offering monetary incentives to users who remain both loyal and active on their site.
Right now, there are still more questions than answers about Facebook's system, questions that are unlikely to be resolved until the specifics of the coin have been revealed. But it is safe to say that this has the potential to rapidly become a major player in the global financial system – if executed effectively.
In March, Ross Sandler, a Barclays analyst, estimated that the stablecoin project could yield anywhere from 'as much as $19 billion in additional revenue [to Facebook] by 2021'. With numbers like that, it certainly seems as though we will be hearing more about this soon enough.

As I wrote on Monday, kimchi is in short supply around these parts. NPR has also picked up on the story, which they blame on "heavy rains" - presumably a result of the typhoons that have been hitting the country lately.
When you described in an earlier article about making kimchi, it sounded like people made it in huuuggge batches, that people hoarded for a years worth supply. Is that having an effect? Is this time of year current for cabbage harvest?
The kimchi shortage is primarily affecting restaurants, schools, and others who have to buy kimchi on a daily or weekly basis. It's a short-term price adjustment, so the families whose kimchi refrigerators are still stocked don't have a problem.
I'm not sure about the cabbage harvest dates, but I suppose it must be. The price of a head of cabbage has tripled or quadrupled in some places.

Palestinian Rappers
Contributed by This Week In Palestine on 25.02.2006:
This Week in Palestine
Muhammad El-Farah
Three years ago, shortly after the Al-Aqsa Intifada began and the Gaza Strip was effectively sealed off from the rest of the world, a group of young men formed the first Gazan rap group. Inspired by Hip Hop artists making appearances on satellite TV and the growing success of Palestinian rap inside Israel, such as DAM from Ramleh and Mahmoud Shalabi in Akka, the now 21-year-old Muhammad El-Farah (Dynamic Rapper) from Khan Younis decided to try his hand at writing rap.
The son of a government administrator who is a closet musician, Muhammad grew up with music. The voices of Fairuz and Um Kalthum and the sound of the oud dominated the family's living room in the old city quarter of Khan Younis. Sitting at home in his modest studio on the second floor of his father's house from which he can see Israeli tanks and soldiers, the 'music' he heard for much of the first two years of the Intifada was that of Apache helicopters and explosions. "I was angry and there was nothing I could do. I got wounded once in the arm by an Israeli bullet and then I turned to rap."
Unlike rappers in the United States where most rap music, while a protest, is dominated by vulgar and profane lyrics, Muhammad, a literature student at Al-Quds Open University, goes to great pains to use classical Arabic in his lyrics. As writer, composer and singer he is the lead vocalist in Palestinian Rappers (PR), which he formed with friends Muataz Hawihi "Mezo" (19), Nader Abu Ayash (22), and Mahmoud Sayid "Bond" (22). Almost all of the lyrics are a mesh of political and emotional messages that address the occupation and the tragedies resulting from it. But not all the lyrics are political. One is about his best friend who was killed by the occupation; it is about mourning. Another is a song he wrote for his mother; it is about love.
In early July the group performed for the first time in the West Bank. The performance at Al-Kasaba Theatre in Ramallah was not only their first musical performance in "Al-Difa" (West Bank) but the first time they had ever been allowed to visit it. Due to a travel ban imposed by Israel on almost all Gazan males aged 14-35, the youngsters had never seen Jerusalem either. "We saw Al-Haram [Al-Shareef] from afar and it was so beautiful, but we could not go and pray there, the permit was specific – West Bank only," Muhammad remembers. Being in Ramallah was very exciting for the group, who was joined by some members of another of Gaza's sprouting rap groups, Gazaette.
But the Ramallah concert was not the first for the group outside Gaza. In March of this year they were invited to Londonderry, Northern Ireland, as guests of the Void Gallery and of filmmaker Jackie Saloum. A Palestinian-American, Saloum is currently finishing a film on Palestinian rap artists which she has named Slingshot Hip Hop (www.slingshothiphop.com), in which she calls Palestinian rap "alternative voices of resistance" within the Palestinian struggle. She already has commitments to show the film in more than two dozen countries. Muhammad and his co-rappers are likely to come out looking like superstars in the film, and the message their music sends will be heard around the world.


If you're reading this, chances are you've been thinking about buying a video security camera surveillance system, and you are looking for someone who is experienced and knowledgeable to install it. We can help!
First of all, let's consider why you need security cameras in the first place. Let's be honest, you've probably been saying you "know you need them" for a while now. The reasons you should get them are endless!
Inexpensive Security Cameras and Network Solutions – Video surveillance technology is constantly changing with new products constantly emerging. Manufacturing of CCTV & IP cameras has become very widespread with many factories competing for business. The CCD sensor (the eye of the security camera) is a big part of the cost to manufacture a security camera, and over the years the price of the sensors has been greatly reduced. This means that the conventional analog security cameras are way down in price. Now days, the same can be said about IP security camera options. For the small business owner or home owner this means that good quality video surveillance systems are within budget. Also, prices for CCTV digital video recorders (DVRs) and network video recorders (NVRs) have been reduced greatly over the years increasing the affordability of these products. Check out our great selection of products now.
Video Surveillance Provides Evidence – Budget cutbacks to police departments everywhere, mean reduced resources to respond to and investigate crimes. What this means for the homeowner or small business owner is greater emphasis on the use of security cameras to assist police. For example, if you report a break-in at your store but you don't have any video surveillance to show to the police, they may be less likely to follow up with an investigation because of cuts to the budget. This is becoming the case more and more! Here in Colorado Springs, the police often refer you to their online reporting system. Security camera footage can provide that critical piece of evidence that will encourage the police to put resources into an investigation. Most police departments will be appreciative of the fact that you took the time and money to install a security camera system, and they'll be more likely to investigate if there is good video surveillance footage to help them solve the crime.
Security Cameras = Neighborhood Watch Program on Steroids – Do you have a neighborhood crime watch program where you live? If so, video surveillance systems can help greatly in monitoring suspicious activity and criminal activity. Having one or two houses on the street equipped with surveillance camera systems can greatly enhance the effectiviness of a neighborhood block watch. Security camera systems can monitor an area 24 hours a day and record what goes during the day and night. The video surveillance footage can also be quickly scanned (since the video is digital) to search for activity. This provides an excellent intelligence gathering tool that can help your neighborhood watch program and assist the police department in the deployment of patrols for maximum effectiveness.
Watch Security Cameras on the Internet / Smartphones / Tablets – How would you like to be able to watch your house or business from just about anywhere in the world? Many security cameras systems come with client/server software that allow remote viewing of security cameras over the internet (IP remote viewing). There are even cameras that can be viewed remotely with the use of smartphone apps such as iCam which can be downloaded to the iPhone that allow security cameras to be viewed anywhere you have access to video networks on your phone! As high speed data transmission networks become more developed these types of applications will become more commonplace. When buying a security camera system, ask your FOX Surveillance about the remote viewing capabilities of the system and what the requirements are for optimum performance.
Peace of Mind – From nanny & children monitoring to crime prevention, having it on film can give you peace of mind when you're not there. The reasons you should consider getting a video security system are endless. Although it can sometimes be shocking to view crimes caught on video surveillance, security cameras can provide peace of mind by allowing you to monitor events in real time, gather evidence for prosecution of crime, prevent loss, and provide an intelligence gathering tool about what's really going on when you're not watching.

Q: Flutter: How to fix accessibility focus on landscape mode? I'm struggling with an accessibility issue on a project which i'm working on.
I can't show you the code because the project is under NDA, but fortunately (or not) the issue is replicable on the Flutter template project (the counter one).

Youtube video of the issue
When the app is in portrait mode, the TalkBack and the accessibility focus work as expected. (image 1 and 2)
Instead, on landscape mode, the TalkBack work as expected, but the accessibility focus has a left padding. In this way, the green box doesn't wrap correctly the components and often the double tap gesture doesn't work on the FAB. (image 3, 4 and video).
This is the output of flutter doctor command:

Movies, Comics, and Songs – Oh My!
Today I'm going to briefly feature a few Richards who are awesome, but about whom I don't know a whole lot. My lack of knowledge should not keep them from getting the love!
First up: Richard White. This past weekend I went to see Beauty and the Beast in 3-D (it was awesome!) and therefore got to enjoy the mellifluous singing of this Broadway actor. Richard voiced Gaston, the douche-y guy who wants to force Belle to marry him. As the song "Gaston" says, "no one takes cheap shots like Gaston" (or "persecutes harmless crackpots like Gaston"). So, yeah, Dick voiced the movie's major dick.
As a fun side note, when my cousin and I looked Richard White up on IMDB, there was a message board post proclaiming, "He's my uncle!" As you might have guessed, it was from a niece or nephew of Richard's offering to answer any questions. It also appears (based on perusal of said message boards) that Richard White just might be a minister as well. Who knew.

Moving on to the world of comics. A few years ago, I went to an exhibit on golden age (1940s) comic books at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. I distinctly remembered that one of the Batman artists was from Fremont, Ohio, which excited me because I live rather near there. I couldn't remember the artist's name, so imagine my delight when I discovered this artist was none other than Richard "Dick" Sprang (1915-2000).
Sprang started penciling Batman stories in 1941 and later illustrated covers as well. He principally worked on Detective Comics, Batman, and World's Finest Comics. He did most of his work in World's Finest Comics in the late 1950s and early 1960s, drawing the Batman and Superman team-ups. Because of that, he also did some art for the Superman group of comics (which included Superman, as well as comics about Supes' girlfriend Lois Lane and his buddy Jimmy Olsen). Dick drew the first appearance of the Riddler (Detective Comics #140 from October 1948).
Three fun facts about Dick Sprang: he had terrible vision (20/400) which kept him out of military service during World War II, despite being drafted twice. He taught his wife Laura how to do comic book lettering (which I assume means write the words in the speech bubbles), and she subsequent lettered much of his artwork (under the gender neutral pen-name "Pat Gordon"). She even did freelance work for the government and Hollywood. What a team! Dick (and Laura/Pat) also got to work from home! Although DC was (and probably still is) based in New York City, from 1946 on Dick lived in Arizona and Utah. He continued to work for DC until 1961 (coming back for special occasions in 1987 and 1990). How awesome would it be to draw superheroes in your pajamas all day – and get paid for it?! Not bad for a kid from Fremont.
Also, Dick Sprang was kind of hot, in a clean-cut 1940s sort of way. As evidence see this 1945 photograph taken from Batman: The Sunday Classics 1943-1946.
Pow! Bang!
Finally, a song. "Open the Door, Richard" was originally recorded by Jack McVea in 1946. The song was based on a vaudeville routine, in which a half-drunk man comes home and wants Richard to open the door and let him inside for the night. According to Wikipedia, the "spoken dialog makes humorous references to negative aspects of urban African-American life, including poverty and police brutality."
The song, considered a novelty R & B work, was recorded by several artists and proved to be quite popular. So popular, in fact, that the music charts of January, February, and March 1947 seem saturated with Richard and his door. Below is a quick list of when five different versions of "Open the Door, Richard" first hit the Billboard Best Seller chart.
-31 January 1947 the version by Dusty Fletcher, which stayed on for five weeks and
peaked at number 3
-7 February 1947 the version by Count Basie, which stayed on for four weeks and peaked
at number 1
-14 February 1947 two versions entered the chart:
-the original version by Jack McVea, which stayed on for two weeks and peaked
-a version by The Three Flames, which stayed on for three weeks and peaked at
-7 March 1947 the version by Louis Jordan, which stayed on two weeks and peaked at
That means the week of 14 February 1947, four different versions of "Open the Door, Richard" were simultaneously on the Billboard Best Seller chart. Was everyone getting this recording for Valentine's Day?
The song title has seeped into the wider culture, with Looney Tunes and numerous old-timey comedians making puns on the title. Apparently, one could even purchase hats, t-shirts, and jeans that referenced the song.

Michael Baker International: Mobile LiDAR: Ground Control to Major Tom?
Sorry, there's no Ziggy Stardust here. Just a training session focused on good old fashioned terrestrial ground control. We figured there's no better way to reinforce our commitment to quality than to celebrate our 9th anniversary of Mobile LiDAR ownership with a series of training sessions to teach/reinforce proper techniques for LiDAR processing and introduce new methodologies and software applications to enhance efficiency.
Key members of our LiDAR Processing Team commandeered the board room from our former headquarters in Moon Township, PA to kick off a series of training sessions to share techniques and best practices.

SA Rugby bids farewell to Mr Tobie Titus
SA Rugby paid tribute to Mr Tobie Titus, whose career in sport spanning an amazing six decades, officially came to an and at the South African Rugby Union Annual General Meeting on Wednesday.
Mr Titus, better known in the South African rugby community as "Mr T" or "Oom Tobie", started his involvement in sport at the height of apartheid, at the University of the Western Cape in the 1960s, and spent a lot of his time and energy fighting racial segregation in sport.
"From an early stage in his life, 'Mr T' decided to use his time and skills in sports administration," said Mr Mark Alexander, President of SA Rugby.
"He was elected as the youngest President of the UWC Rugby Club, after which he served as President of the Tygerberg Rugby Union, whom he also represented during the unification talks with Western Province in the early 1990s.
"Mr Titus' involvement in the upliftment of previously disadvantaged communities went beyond the rugby field – he did the same as the Dean of Students at the then Peninsula Technikon (now part of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology)."
Through his involvement in tertiary education, Mr Titus had the opportunity to mentor many young people, who today still play an important role as administrators and leaders in various spheres of the South African sport industry.
His influence was felt at international level too. As a founding member of the South African Student Sports Union (SASSU), Mr Titus served as Chairperson for a total of seven years between 1995 and 2004, during which period he represented university sport globally.
"He is regarded as a sporting visionary and a respected leader in the world of university sport, and was instrumental in the establishment of the highly-popular FNB Varsity Cup," added Mr Alexander.
"This competition, which kicked off in 2008, has played an enormous role in not only changing the local rugby landscape, but it also had a massive impact on the lives of thousands of young rugby players."
Within the higher echelons of South African rugby, Mr Titus served as President of Western Province, a position he vacated in 2012 to serve on the Executive Council of SA Rugby. He has also held the positions as Chairman of SA Rugby's Youth and Student Rugby Committee, as well as the Transformation Committee.
"His second term on the Exco has now come to an end and it's time for "Mr T" to take a well-earned rest," said Mr Alexander.
"As one of the longest-serving administrators in the history of South African rugby, he has overcome many challenges, always acting with poise and respect. Mr Titus brought passion, commitment and strong leadership to rugby in South Africa and his contributions will be sorely missed, but his legacy will live on for many generations to come."
