Yesterday was Jeff Bezos' birthday. The richest man in the world, depending on the day, made $86 billion over the course of the pandemic. Pandemic chaos also minted 493 new billionaires. It's a tricky thing to compare wealth from completely different eras, but according to measuringworth.com, the best way to get an idea of how much more or less rich someone like Jeff Bezos is compared to, say, John D. Rockefeller is by comparing their net worth as a percent of national GDP. Rockefeller's net worth accounted for roughly 1.5% of the US GDP in 1937. By comparison, Bezos' wealth accounts for about 0.7% of the US GDP. Food for thought.

☂ TODAY'S BAD OPINION
Paul Krugman is notable for his Nobel Prize and completely misunderstanding the internet before it exploded. Since then, he has become something a regime anointed wisdom dispenser who's wrong and/or out of touch so often in his NYT columns that it's become something of a joke. In his latest disappearing act, Krugman pens an oped entitled 'The Strange Alliance of Crypto and MAGA Believers'.
Falling perfectly into the basket of "all those who don't like Democrats are enemies of the state", the piece includes gems like:
Bitcoin was supposed to create a monetary system that functions without trust — and the modern right is all about fostering distrust. Covid is a hoax; the election was stolen; California's forest fires had nothing to do with climate change, and they were started by Rothschild-controlled space lasers.
It's obvious that Krugman has never talked to people he considers to be part of the "modern right". He's invented an enemy in his head and then proceeded to construct elaborate arguments against said enemy in the same way that a stoned, angsty teenager might after watching Loose Change and realizing that "it's all a lie" as he finishes a big bag of Cheetos. Another way to describe this behavior would be as a symptom of mental illness.
☀ FARM, FOOD, AND SOIL STATS
Farmers account for 1% of the population. Almost 28% of these farmers are between the ages of 55 and 64.
Large-scale family farms and industrial nonfamily farms account for only 4.8% of farms, but 57.4% of production (in $). Small-scale family farms represent
nearly 90% of U.S. farms, but only 21.5% of production.
Just 14.3¢ of every dollar spent on food in 2019 went back to the farm; in 1975, it was 40¢.
Between 2014 and 2016, 48% of the hired agricultural labor force lacked the authorization to work in the United States.
In California, undocumented immigrants' labor is worth more than $180 billion a year.
From 1992 to 2012, total cropland decreased from 460 million acres to 392 million acres.
Accounting for waste, the average American consumed 2,501 calories per day in 2010, an increase of 22% from 1970.
The EPA estimated that in 2010, 31% of the food supply was lost, 50% more than in 1970. In 2018, more food reached landfills than any other material. This waste accounts for roughly 22% of the municipal solid waste stream and represents a loss of $450 per person each year. One estimate suggests that 2% of total annual energy use in the U.S. is used to produce food that is later wasted.28

L'Old Minster (« Vieux Monastère ») était la cathédrale saxonne du diocèse de Wessex puis de celui de Winchester de 648 à 1093. Elle se trouvait au nord de l'actuelle cathédrale de Winchester, qui la recouvre aujourd'hui partiellement.

Histoire
L'édifice en pierre a été construit en 648 pour le roi de Wessex Cenwalh et l'évêque Birin. Il fut choisi comme cathédrale du diocèse en 660, fut agrandi et redécoré au fil des décennies. Swithun fut inhumé dans son cimetière en 862. Au , Old Minster devint le prieuré d'une communauté de Bénédictins.

En 901, on jouxta l'édifice d'un nouveau monastère, le New Minster. Dans le contexte des réformes monastiques des années 970, l'évêque Æthelwold de Winchester et son successeur Alphège reconstruisirent presque entièrement le monastère, pour lui donner des dimensions bien supérieures. La nouvelle chapelle, alors peut-être la plus grande d'Europe, abrita les reliques de Swithun. Mais à l'issue de la conquête normande, l'évêque Vauquelin fit édifier une cathédrale auxiliaire et Old Minster fut rasé en 1093 : on y ré-inhuma plusieurs rois du Wessex et d'Angleterre, ainsi que des évêques.

Old Minster a fait l'objet de fouilles dans les années 1960. Les contours de l'édifice disparu sont désormais repérés au sol par une allée en brique qui traverse le cimetière adjacent à la Cathédrale de Winchester. Le premier tombeau de Saint Swithun est également signalé. Les artefacts archéologiques mis au jour sont exposés dans le Winchester City Museum. Les restes des monarques, prélevés dans la cathédrale, ont été regroupés dans un ossuaire autour du chœur.

In 1909, the NAACP commenced what has become its legacy of fighting legal battles to win social justice for African Americans and indeed, for all Americans. The most significant of these battles were fought and won under the leadership of Charles Hamilton Houston and his student and protégée, Thurgood Marshall.
After training the first generation of Civil Rights lawyers during his years as Dean of Howard University's Law School, Houston was appointed in 1935 to be the first Special Counsel of the NAACP. Often referred to as the "Moses of the civil rights movement," Houston was the architect and chief strategist of the NAACP's legal campaign to end segregation.


Prior Authorization (PA) is required for medications your insurance has flagged as possibly unsafe, expensive or from a class of medications not covered by your plan. It may just be there are therapeutic alternatives, medications that have the same result or effect on the condition. Therapeutic alternatives may be safer or more cost effective.
The medication may not be on the formulary. The formulary is a list of medications covered by your plan. It is a good idea to have a copy of this when you go to the doctor, it can reduce the need for PA's in the future.
Often expensive medications require "Step Therapy." Step therapy is basically a requirement to try generic alternative for a condition, before brand name or more expensive treatments will be covered.
Some medications may simply not be covered at all by your insurance. Weight loss medications are often not covered. Medications considered cosmetic, such as creams for lessening wrinkles, creams for hair removal or drops to grow eye lashes are rarely covered. Cough medications are often excluded. Medications that are available over-the-counter are frequently not covered. Many drugs for heartburn and reflux are now available without a prescription. Most times erectile dysfunctions medications are not covered.
How does the PA process work?
The pharmacy often notifies the prescribers office. The pharmacy may suggest alternative medications that the insurance will cover or they will provider the office with the insurance contact information.
The Healthcare Provider with then change the medication or contact the insurance company. There are typically forms to complete, either online or via fax. The Doctor or Pharmacy may use a services such as Cover My Meds, to expedite the process. Some insurance companies have automated some of the process to speed approvals or denials.
How long does it take for insurance to approve the Medication?
It varies depending on the requirements for approval and they process required by the insurance company. It typically takes between 1 and 4 business days. For medications that are urgently required, an expedited approval can be requested.
How do I get insurance to pay for Brand Name?
Many prescription insurance companies will not pay for Brand Name medication when a generic equivalent is available. It your prescriber wants you to take brand name they can start by writing on the prescription "Brand Name Only." This is sometimes coded as DAW1. Requirements will vary by state and country. If the insurance rejects the brand name, the pharmacy can initiate a Prior Authorization for the brand name. If approved, the copay is typically much higher than the generic copay.
What can I do if the insurance denies the medication?
You can pay the cash price for the medication. Talk to your doctor about a generic alternative or follow the step therapy required by your insurance. It may be possible for your Doctor to find an alternative on the Formulary. Or, you could file an appeal.
Prior Authorizations are frustrating for Doctors, patients and pharmacies. However, if we all work together the issue can usually be resolved. It usually just requires some time and patience.

Obama family set to buy $4.25M desert home in California: report
Courtesy of realtor.com more >
By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Tuesday, July 22, 2014
The Obamas are reportedly poised to purchase a custom-built high-class home in the Rancho Mirage section of California for $4.25 million.
White House officials deny the reports, but realtors say otherwise, claiming that the first family are in escrow for the Thunderbird Heights community house, located on a hilltop near Palm Springs in the same area once called home by Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom structure has its own two-story waterfall and golf putting green, and "master retreat" with gym, tanning salon and private spa, according to Realtor.com. Other features include elevators, a private rock-formed lagoon, and a misting system to help with the heat.
The property also includes a casita with three bedrooms and three baths, and spans 3.29 private acres, according to the real estate listing.
The Obamas spent a long Father's Day weekend in the Coachella Valley a month ago, where they stayed at a home in the same Thunderbird Heights neighborhood, the Times reported.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Tuesday the report was "not accurate."

LBSU students get their struggles off their backs

An entire story could be read on one of the shirts hanging from a tree on upper campus.
It was called "Antacids," and it read, "You said she had heartburn. I saw you put antacids in her water. She later slumped while her friends violated her."
A disturbing occurrence of events, which ended, "I saw and watched her heart still burn 15 years later."
These sorts of messages and empowering phrases were painted on dozens of T-shirts that swayed from clotheslines at Long Beach State's Central Quad on Wednesday.
The display was put on by Young Women's Christian Association as an opportunity for people to learn more about real sexual assault and domestic violence experiences that happened to others and encourage students to share stories of their own.
"The simple idea behind it is basically airing out the dirty laundry on issues like sexual assault, since these are issues that are usually not talked about openly," said Jacqueline Urtez, a YWCA sexual assault victim's advocate for LBSU.
The Clothesline Project started as a way to break the silence surrounding sexual molestation. Its theme is centered around the conversations that women have with each other while hanging clothes on an outdoor clothesline.
"[This project] is to fight that stigma [of being silent over sexual assault]," Urtez said.
Though students could also make their own, many of the T-shirts came from donations.
"Some of them are survivor stories, some of them are just inspirational messages, some of them are friends or family members of someone who's experienced violence," Urtez said.
The shirt's colors have different meanings: white represented women who died from violence; blue and green for incest survivors; red, pink and orange for rape survivors, purple for women attacked for their sexual orientation, yellow for battered or assaulted women; and black for women attacked for their political beliefs.
The words painted on each shirt were meant to give off explicit or positive feelings to grab people's' attention.
One pink shirt read, "Protect our Women, Teach our Men." On a blue shirt, the words "Supporting," "Surviving," and "Thriving" were stacked on top of one another.
A red shirt offered the advice: "You should not be victim blamed after trying to seek for help."
YWCA sets up the Clothesline Project on campus every April as part of sexual assault awareness month.
"It's just a different form of bringing awareness to different communities," Urtez said. "As opposed to your typical presentation or workshop."
The nonprofit provides free crisis services for sexual assault victims from Long Beach to south Los Angeles. Though Urtez represents the YWCA office on campus, the organization's awareness projects are held in high schools and community colleges all over the area.
"Sexual assault is something hard to talk about," Urtez said. "We kind of provide that safe space."
The event got a lot of attention, but some students don't believe that this event only pays "lip service" to the realities of these issues.
"If CSULB really wants to get serious about the issue of sexual assault, they'd take Title IX reports seriously and make sure that groups responsible for sexual assault are properly disciplined and monitored," said political science and American Sign Language linguistics major Kirsten Hernandez.

A Kentucky Republican on how to solve the labor shortage: 'temporarily suspend the unemployment program'
Rep. James Comer.Mark Humphrey/AP Photo; Jon Cherry/Getty Images; Marianne Ayala/Insider
"The good from this is we've seen low-wage appreciation without the government having to come in and raise the minimum wage through more rules and regulations."
That's Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky's 1st Congressional District describing how the labor shortage is benefitting his state. As long as pay doesn't spiral out of control, Comer said the shortage can accomplish what Congress hasn't agreed on for 12 years: a new minimum wage.
The labor shortage has been a nationwide phenomenon in 2021, but it's been especially intense in Kentucky. A first-of-its-kind report published in October indicated the state had the country's highest quits rate and one of its highest job-openings rates. Kentucky is still at the epicenter of the labor shortage months later, and the unusual hiring trends are expected to linger through 2022.
Insider spoke with more than a dozen Kentuckians to uncover what's powering the shortage and how it could be solved, and spoke to representatives from both the Democratic and Republican sides of the aisle for the heavily conservative state. We also interviewed Comer's Democratic colleague John Yarmuth, the retiring chair of the House Budget Committee, whose district includes all of Louisville.
Comer said the labor shortage could represent a turning point for his district's economy. Recent wage hikes "probably needed to happen," he said, particularly for low-income areas. He also has strong thoughts on how the free market should solve unemployment, but it shouldn't be allowed to run so free that those wage hikes turn into an inflation crisis. Still, he said the state has has been in a "workforce crisis for many years" and bemoaned abuse of Social Security disability benefits. As his district borders Tennessee, he especially highlighted how intrastate rivalry weakens the job market.
Like all members of the House, Comer is up for reelection in November 2022.
Here's a transcript of Insider's interview with the representative on the labor shortage, Kentucky's hiring challenges, and how the tug-of-war between employers and employees is shaping up. The interview has been lightly edited for length.
Kentucky's labor-force participation rate has been falling for most of the last two decades. What drove that, and to what extent has policy played a role?
Kentucky has been in a workforce crisis for many years. One of the primary reasons is that there are certain pockets in and around Kentucky where a large percentage of the population in certain counties has been declared disabled.
If you go back to when Bill Clinton supposedly reformed welfare in Kentucky, there was a big transition from welfare to disability. Being declared disabled became the new welfare.
In Kentucky, the rules are lax — and they always have been — to be able to draw welfare and extended unemployment. The rules benefit the people who really want to game the system.
(Editor's note: As of 2019, Kentucky was the state with the third-highest percentage of residents receiving disability benefits via Social Security, Insider calculated, whereas neighboring Tennessee was ranked eighth. Various studies support Comer's claim about disability aid, which is paid through the federal Social Security program.)
Those unemployment programs got a pretty big boost during the pandemic. How has that affected already low workforce participation?
It made a bad situation worse.
Gov. Beshear totally botched the extended unemployment programs. Employers called our office every day complaining that they had called their employees back to work after that one- or two-week government shutdown and the workers wouldn't come back because they didn't have to. They could make as much money on unemployment as coming back to work.
A lot of employees drew unemployment for nearly a year when in fact they should've drawn unemployment no longer than 10 days.
It's always been abused. My district is on the Tennessee border. It's much harder for people to go in and draw unemployment in Tennessee than it is in Kentucky.
If you drive through eastern Kentucky, every other billboard is an advertisement from a law firm telling you to call their number to be able to get on disability. It's an industry in certain counties in the state. It's a fraud that's developed into a massive industry.
(Editor's note: Beneficiaries in Tennessee must provide "detailed contact information" for at least three prospective employers every week; Kentucky's program requires beneficiaries to report only one job contact each week.)
When you talk to businesses in your district about how they're trying to hire during reopening, what have you been hearing? How has this jobs recovery been different?
It's a dire situation. People assume it's just the low-wage restaurant workers or travel-industry workers. It's everyone. It's manufacturing. It's financial services. Even the construction industry.
The biggest complaint was they didn't have as bad of a labor shortage before COVID, and once COVID happened and the federal government allowed for extended unemployment … people in Kentucky drew it as long as they could. It's just been real frustrating.
Now some of these workers that gamed the unemployment system are starting to go back to work, and they've realized that there's such a shortage of workers that employers are offering sign-on bonuses.
That's the next big problem that has faced a lot of employers. You've got a lot of musical chairs happening. You've got employees that are working somewhere until they get that sign-on bonus and then going to another place and getting another sign-on bonus. It's a civil war among Kentucky employers trying to hire and retain workers.
The latest data points to the labor shortage lasting well into 2022. What will it take for that to end?
As big as the labor shortage is in America now, there shouldn't be very many unemployment claims being paid out. I think the federal government should temporarily suspend the unemployment program, temporarily suspend any type of benefit it's given to people who can't find work.
The Democrats in Washington have been talking about raising the minimum wage … Well, the market has.
Many of the workers we've been speaking to see this as something good in the economy, pointing out that they have more options and that the shortage is driving wages higher. Do you agree that there is some good coming from the labor shortage?
The Democrats in Washington have been talking about raising the minimum wage, and conservatives would come back and say, "Let the market determine the wage."
Well, the market has. You've seen a huge increase in pay for the low-wage jobs, which probably needed to happen for people to be able to work. The good from this is we've seen low-wage appreciation without the government having to come in and raise the minimum wage through more rules and regulations in the private sector.
Something we've heard about from some Kentucky workers is the need for childcare support. What does Kentucky need to do to solve that problem?
It's always been a huge challenge finding childcare. It's a challenge at my house. One of the things that made that a bigger challenge were the states and the counties that extended virtual learning and didn't have in-person learning. If the kid has to stay home from school, somebody has to watch them when there are no childcare options or people can't afford childcare.
The shutdown of in-person learning in public education had a detrimental effect on the employment situation in Kentucky because parents had no choice but to leave the workforce and keep their young children at home.
You mentioned that the labor shortage is the way for the market to solve the minimum-wage problem, but you've also raised concerns around people not returning to the workforce. Where do you think the middle ground between those two trends is?
Hopefully the market will work itself out. It's a win for low-wage workers, because I don't know anywhere in my district now that's offering a beginning salary anywhere around minimum wage. Everything I know is at least 30% above minimum wage. McDonald's and the lowest of the low-wage jobs are now way past the minimum wage.
I've always said that the minimum wage wasn't a living wage, especially if you're an adult and have a family. So this has been a help to a lot of low-wage workers in America.
The problem when wages go up this much is it leads to inflation. We're seeing inflation every day. So a lot of the gains that low-wage workers are going to have are going to be offset and then some by increased inflation.
Are there other hiring barriers in Kentucky that you think are ignored in the national conversation around the labor shortage?
Kentucky is a very red state, and if you call my district, one of the biggest issues is border security. There's a huge disconnect on amnesty between the average Kentuckian and the employer.
The employers want workers. They see all these people coming across the border illegally, and they see an opportunity to hire workers.
The average worker in Kentucky is appalled that we don't have border security. So we get calls from employers wanting amnesty and wanting more H-2A workers.
We got calls when they announced they were sending some of these Afghan refugees to Kentucky. Several employers called me and said, "Do you think you could hook me up with somebody and see if I could use any of these people as workers?" That's how desperate the employment situation is, that the employers are bucking the conventional wisdom in Kentucky with respect to amnesty and border security.
My position is to secure the border, and I'm not supportive of amnesty. I am open to more H-2A and H-2B workers, because there's always been a shortage of workers in agriculture and construction and things like that.
(Editor's note: H-2A visas are issued to foreign seasonal agriculture workers when US workers aren't available; H-2B visas are similar but pertain to industries outside of farming.)
Has the average Kentuckian's stance changed on border security because of the labor shortage?
They're opposed to amnesty and having any type of policy that would allow anyone in this country illegally to legally work somewhere. If you poll it, it's 99% in my district.
The 1% that's open to it is the employers right now. It's that bad.
What do you think the media's getting wrong about the labor shortage and the situation in Kentucky specifically?
When I say there are too many people on disability, people go, "Oh my God, that's politically incorrect!"
Kentucky has an industry to get people on disability who are very able-bodied. I don't think the media understands it. When they hear me say that, they think, "Oh, that's a hard-hearted person."
But I'm the one member of Congress that grew up and still resides in Appalachia. So I have a broad section of the state, and I can tell you that's had as big an impact on the worker participation rate as anything.
You've got counties in Kentucky with populations of 15,000 people that couldn't fill 25 jobs right now if a new industry moved in. One of the biggest reasons why is the disability industry.
It's frustrating for me because most of my district is on the Tennessee state line and it's just very difficult to compete against Tennessee. They don't have an income tax. They have tighter unemployment rules, which leads to less fraud and cheating. They don't have a disability industry.
I'll give you another example. Thirty percent of Kentucky is on Medicaid. Thirteen percent of Tennessee is on Medicaid. How in the world can two states that have everything in common have that big a difference?
If you are eligible for Medicaid in Kentucky and you go to work, you'll lose your Medicaid. And there's no better health-insurance plan than Medicaid.
These things sound hard-hearted. But if you really want to dive into the problem, it's the Medicaid systems abused in Kentucky, unemployment systems abused in Kentucky, and the SSI disability system abused in Kentucky. That is the reason we have the lowest worker-participation rate.
Now, Yarmuth will disagree with that. Buddy, I am right, and he is wrong.
(Editor's note: Kentucky adopted the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act that widened eligibility to any individual without insurance earning less than $17,609, and Tennessee did not.)

Maryam Yusuf JAMAL, Bahrain (800m/1000/mile/1500/2000/3000/5000)
Born Zenebech Tola Kotu, 16 September 1984, Arsi province (Ethiopia)
Coach: Tareq Sabt Yaqoob (her husband since September 2006)
It is no wonder that Zenebech Tola (now Maryam Yusuf Jamal) took to running at an early age - she was born in the same village as Haile Gebrselassie, her idol. "Like all boys and girls from Arsi, I wanted to emulate him," she says. She developed her endurance by walking daily to school. "With a few other children from the village, we used to walk 16km every day. Sometimes we had to run when we were late".
Born in a family with five children (2 older brothers, 2 younger), Tola was the only one attracted by athletics. She started at 15 with school trials in her village but, competing at 100m, 200m and 400m, she was a distant finisher. A week later, she clinched her selection in the high jump for the inter-school meeting, clearing 1.45m, then improved her mark by 8cm, placing second at the inter-school meeting.
Only a year later (2000) Tola ventured into middle-distance running when she registered with the Muger Club in Addis Ababa (Kenenisa Bekele is also a member). Her progress was monitored for a year by coach Tolossa Kotu, who registered her for her first cross country as a junior (6km) at the 2001 World Trials. She finished ninth, missing a place in the squad of six.
Tola overcame her disappointment the following summer with third place in the 1500m (4:24) at the national junior championships. It was a result that drew the attention of a Switzerland-based manager, who invited her to his country to race. She competed in road races, mountain races and three half-marathons, winning most of them.
For personal reasons, Zenebech (an Oromo) decided not to return to Ethiopia, fearing that she might not be allowed abroad again. Feeling comfortable in her adoptive country, she filed for political asylum in May 2002. She settled in Lausanne and joined the "Stade Lausanne Athlétisme" while starting to learn French to facilitate her integration.
By this time, she was convinced that she had no future on the track. Her partner, Mnashu Taye, also an asylum seeker from Ethiopia (who became a Bahraini citizen at the same time as Zenebech and is now called Tareq Sabt Hasan) eventually managed to convince her to compete in the 3000m in the inter-provincial match organised in Lausanne in 2003. She won in a modest 9:29.13 but, persuaded that she could do better, she had another try at the distance at the international Lausanne meet, Athletissima, where she finished 16th and last in 9:27.91. In September, she took part in a 1500m at a meet in Fribourg and won in 4:18.22.
In 2004, Tola turned to the 5000m at the national inter-club championships and won in 15:19.45. After achieving the 1500m Olympic standard at the Luzern international meet (4:07.38), she asked the Ethiopian federation to include her in the team for Athens, with the support of the IOC. The negative answer prompted her to seek Swiss citizenship but her request was denied by the Swiss federal authorities as citizenship cannot be granted before 12 years of residence in the country.
This setback did not prevent her from recording a great performance on 6 August 2004 at the Zürich Weltklasse meeting, in which she finished second in the 3000m (8:40.32). As her refugee status prevented her from competing outside Switzerland, Tola ran as many road races as she could throughout the country to make a living. Among other results, she clocked 1:11:43 for the 2004 Zürich Half-marathon.
In 2005, with the help of Jacky Delapierre, the director of Athletissima, a solution was sought to allow Tola to run in international competitions. The kingdom of Bahrain invited her to change citizenship and Zenebech Tola became Maryam Yusuf Jamal in January 2005.
Two months later, Jamal took part in the World Cross Country short course championship in Saint-Etienne/Saint-Galmier, where she struggled to finish 33rd, being ill-prepared. The track season was far better, with several world class times in a short span: 14:51.68 for 5000m in Hengelo on 29 May, 1:59.69 in a solo run in Geneva on 11 June and a winning 3:59.13 in the 1500m in Athens on 14 June.
Her times show a wide range of ability but it was the 1500m that she settled on for the 2005 World Championships, in Helsinki. An easy winner in her heat, Jamal could do no better than fifth in the final after severe jostling with 250m to go saw her spiked twice on the right foot. She took her revenge with a victory at the IAAF World Athletics Final, in Monaco, and with a season's world best in Rieti on 28 August (3:56.79).
After her first international season on the track, her resume was impressive with 22 wins out of 26 races. She was ranked 19th in the Top Lists for the 800m, 19th in the 5000m (though she only had one attempt at the distance) and recorded world leaing performances for 2005 in the 1500m (3:56.79) and 3000m (8:28.87).
In the beginning of 2006, Jamal spent one month training in Potchefstroom, South Africa. On her return she won the 1500m in the indoor Valencia meet (4:01.82) and, in Moscow in March, she clinched her first World Championship medal when placing third over 1500m at the World Indoors. Three weeks later, she raced at the World Cross Country Championships, in Fukuoka, but finished a distant 37th.
Back training in Europe, Jamal focused mainly on the Golden League meetings at 1500m, but also raced at 800m in Athens and Zürich to improve her speed. Returning from an altitude training camp in St Moritz, she won her first outdoor Grand Prix 1500m race in Stockholm, one month before improving her personal best to 3:56.18 in Rieti, having set her previous best there in 2005.
At the end of season, the Bahraini confirmed her form with victories at the World Athletics Final, in Stuttgart, and World Cup, in Athens. In the Asian Games, in Doha, Qatar, in December, Jamal easily won 800m and 1500m.
Like the previous year, Jamal spent January of last year training in South Africa but chose to miss the indoor season. After training in St Moritz in April, Jamal recorded 1500m wins this season at World Athletics Tour meets in Oslo (4:01.44), Lausanne (4:03.61) and Monaco (4:00.43) but finished second in Athens (3:59.00) and 13th in Paris (4:07.92).
Just two days after Athletissima, Jamal's coach, Jean-François Pahud, decided to stop his collaboration with her. He wanted to bear the responsibilities for the training alone but the proposition was not accepted by the athlete. So Tareq Sabt Yaqoob became her official coach.
After a great season in 2007, when she became the first Bahraini woman to win World Championship gold, in Osaka, then she took a break for one month and decided in November to make her first visit to her homeland Ethiopia to see her family after a seven-year absence. "A very great emotion" she says.
In December, she participated in two road races in Switzerland (second in Geneva and first in Sion). Then, as usual, she returned to Bahrain where she spends less than one month every year. "The reception was amazing," she said. "I've received such a beautiful diamond watch from the Queen. A really nice gift."
In January 2008, she decided with her husband and coach Tareq to move her winter training to Addis with her training partner, 2006 Asian Games 800m champion Yusuf Saad Kamel. "There I met a lot of Ethiopia's top athletes, most of them are friends" she says.
The 2008 season was not to be the best for her. Only fourth at the World indoor Championships over 1500 m in Valencia, she reacted well and with strong outings in the summer meetings, notching a victory over 800m in New York on 31 May, and two more wins ver "her" 1500m in Athens on 13 July and Paris Saint-Denis Golden League meeting on 18 July. With some of the top Russian runners provisionally suspended for violating doping regulations, most observers probably expected Ethiopia's Gelete Burka and Bahrain's Maryam Jamal to be the two battling it out for the gold medal in Beijing. But Jamal surprisingly "ran out of gas" in the all-decisive last half lap of the Final and only finished fifth.
Fortunately, after this defeat, she again had a good reaction, winning the 1500 m in Lausanne and Rieti and chalking up her fourth World Atheltics Final 1500 m victory in Stuttgart last September.
This winter, in her only indoor appearance, she won 1500 m race in a solo run in Birmingham in 4:02.74. Jamal also won easily the 10th Asian Cross Country Championships in Bahrain in the senior women's 8 km race in the front of her compatriot Mimi Belete. Following this success she decided to participate in the World Cross Country Championships in Amman. "It's the first time I've returned to this competition since 2006" she said before the race. In Amman, Jamal finished 9th just behind Gelete Burka, her best result for ever in this competition.
After that, she came back to Addis Ababa during 2 months to prepare the summer season. She's returned to competition in Hengelo (800), then Eugene (2000) before to participate at her first 1500 m in Lausanne (second behind Burka). Then, she ran a fantastic world leading time in Rome (3:56.55), the second best mark of her life. "I wanted to make a good time, because I was not good in Lausanne" she explained. "I am not surprised by the time, even it was a bit quicker than I expected. I'm in the shape of my life. By now, as usual, I'm going to go to St-Moritz to prepare the next World Championships."
Jamal continued with two wins in her last races before the World Championships, and in Berlin she successfully defended her title, by just one hundredth from Briton Lisa Dobriskey after the disqualification of Natalia Rodriguez. The Spaniard had crossed the line first, but having pushed co-favourite Gelete Burka of Ethiopia, who fell to the ground with 200 metres to run.
Heading into the World Athletics Final, Jamal boasts an enviable record, having won all her 1500 m races this summer except the last one in Rieti, where she was second behind Dobriskey.

Mid-October already. Too many hobbies, I suppose. But, fall is here and it was time for some soup. Last weekend I roasted an Acorn Squash on the weber with a bit of maple and nutmeg and it put me in the mood for this soup.
Years ago, when I lived in a small studio apartment on East 61st Street in Manhattan, I grew fond of the Hungarian Mushroom Soup recipe in the Moosewood Cookbook. When the weather would turn, I'd make myself a batch - freezing some and keeping some handy for the week ahead. The recipe followed me to Brooklyn and the soup would fortify me before heading over to Tom's place for our weekly chess game.
I haven't made that soup in a long time, and I haven't played chess with Tom in even longer. I got to thinking about those days and figured it was time to make some Mushroom Soup again. This one is different from the Moosewood version, but it serves all the same purposes.
Maybe I should give Tom a call, too.
"What about those funny looking round things you cook in the oven and the come out all sweet and yummy?"
That was what my wife requested when I asked what she'd like with dinner tonight. After 11 years of marriage I'm able to decipher her code. She meant roasted butternut squash, but couldn't quite find the words.
Upon bringing them home, my sons were a little concerned that we'd be serving up some thanksgiving decor with the rest of our dinner. One of them even ventured a bite, the brave soul.
Plan on one butternut squash for every two to three (grown) people you'll be serving.
Once the cold weather starts to set in here in the northeast, my cooking habit turns toward soups and stews. As much as I enjoy doing as much from scratch as possible, I rarely have the leftover animal bones required to make beef or chicken stock.
A much easier way to prepare homemade stock is to go the veggie route. I find that it's much easier to collect save the stems, peels, tops and bottoms of various vegetables than it is to keep some chicken bones laying around. Every time I chop or peel a vegetable, the bit I'd usually toss in the trash (or compost heap, if I had one), I simply add to a ziploc bag in the fridge. After about a week or two, I have enough to make a richly flavored stock.
Broccoli Rabe reminds me of winter and of my father. My mother, an excellent cook, rarely made it for him so I'd often prepare a batch when they'd come over for dinner. This is the way he liked it, with lots of garlic and red pepper.
(I'm not really sure why it reminds me of winter).

I love the idea of using shared libraries! I've been trying to use it - quite successfully - until I started using resources.
I have a directory layout similar to the one described in the documentation.
Inside my library I have a class rendering an html template (would be Bar.groovy). This template is in the resource directory (would be bar.json).
This always returns "null" when executed on a Jenkins server while it does return the correct file path when running locally on my machine.
Ok. Let's drop it. If I am the only affected it's not worth it. Thanks Jesse Glick.
I mean you can try src/the/pkg/resource.json and the.pkg.SomeClass.getResource('resource.json') may work. But the tested and recommended way to package resources is libraryResource.

If the pipeline plugin has a way to select the innermost folder's implicit library, it could apply the same algorithm (or stick to the active version) when resolving the library resource.
Ilguiz Latypov added a comment - 2018-09-14 02:18 It's a pity libraryResource() is shy about selecting the currently active implicit library's resource. Instead I get an error, hudson.AbortException: Library resource com/COMPANY/FILE.EXT ambiguous among libraries [VER1, VER2] If the pipeline plugin has a way to select the innermost folder's implicit library, it could apply the same algorithm (or stick to the active version) when resolving the library resource.
Ilguiz Latypov's comment is unrelated to the reported issue, but at any rate: perhaps you are selecting distinct names for the "same" library, which is not wise since it would result in both versions of the library being loaded in one build. Please use the users' list for advice.

With libraryResource there will be an exception which not what I need . It is possible to catch the exception but it will show as an error in grafana. so I need to avoid exception.

The Kids Are Out – Now What?
Los Chicos Están Fuera—Y Ahora Que?
March 27, 2013	Comments Off on The Kids Are Out – Now What?
Seguro, los chicos están disfrutando de su Receso de Primavera. Y porque no habrían de hacerlo? Es una semana y media fuera de la escuela.


The Fabulous Screech is a beautifully judged tale with a massive heart and one of my favourite things of the year so far.
It manages to be both very funny and very touching, as well as demonstrating an acute understanding of the way cats use their owners and their owners are grateful for it.
This heartfelt little game is a wonderful piece of perspective and surrealism that definitely should not be missed. Give it a play, and then give someone a hug.
Unless you're an unrepentant cynic, The Fabulous Screech is probably going to make you melt a little on the inside.
The story, whilst also quite simple, is elegantly told, with the ending likely to bring a tear to the eye of all but the most hardened soul.
Something so whimsical, so wonderful, so obviously yet collectively personal, so subtle, so funny, so deeply touching, that, well, I was touched. Really, actually touched.
This very short game has a peculiar background. A few months ago I was approached by someone called Angie to create a present for her boyfriend, Matt. Money being short, this was to be a combined Christmas, Valentine's Day and anniversary present. He was a fan of my games, especially the ones set in the Lands of Dream, so this could be a really special gift for him. Now, this isn't how I normally work, and there were other things I was supposed to be working on, but how can you say no to being part of something so sweet? So I said yes.
I thought a bit about what sort of game to make, until eventually it became clear to me that I needed to go back to Oddness Standing, the setting of The Book of Living Magic, and make a game about one of the most memorable characters from that town. Strangely enough, it probably ended up being the most personal game I've ever made.

Ecuador, Possibly ? With U.S. Pressure Limits Julian Assange's/WikiLeaks' Internet Access
author: .
various reports have circulated about what has happened at the Ecuadoran embassy in London, where WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange has now been holed up for 5 years.
recently, the Ecuador government has allowed access by Swedish prosecutors to interview Assange (about the now years-old, expired-statute-of-limitations rape charges) at the embassy grounds.
Now it is being revealed that the Ecuador government, possibly caving to U.S. or other diplomatic pressure, has "issued the equivalent of a timeout" [Washington Post language] to Assange's internet access from their embassy in London. This is reportedly due in part to the effects of the most recent WikiLeaks data releases having a "substantial effect" on the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.
Hugo Chavez is now dead. Governments and elections in central and south America are no longer as strongly left-leaning as they were 5 years ago, and the current Ecuador leader is not up for re-election.

U.S. Urged Ecuador to Act Against WikiLeaks Leader Assange
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-urged-ecuador-act-against-assange-n669271
Quiet pressure from the U.S. government played a role in Ecuador's decision to block WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from using the internet at Ecuador's London embassy, U.S. officials told NBC News.
"It was a bit of an eviction notice," said a senior intelligence official.
Ecuador's government said Tuesday it had partly restricted internet access for Assange, the founder of anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks, who has lived in the South American country's London embassy for more than four years. A source familiar with the situation says the Ecuadoran government has been frustrated with Assange and his presence at the embassy in London for months and has been considering how best to proceed.
The action came after U.S. officials conveyed their conclusion that Assange is a willing participant in a Russian intelligence operation to undermine the U.S. presidential election, NBC News has learned. U.S. intelligence officials believe Assange knows he is getting the information from Russian intelligence, though they do not believe he is involved in helping plan the hacking, officials told NBC.
"The general view is he is a willing participant in the Russian scheme but not an active plotter in it. They just realized they could use him," said a senior intelligence official.
The US told Ecuador to give Wikileaks 'an eviction notice,' according to intelligence officials

September 6. These troubles being blown over, and now all being compact together in one ship, they put to sea again with a prosperous wind, which continued divers days together, which was some encouragement unto them; yet according to the usual manner many were afflicted with sea sickness. And I may not omit here a special work of God's providence.
There was a proud and very profane young man, one of the sea-men, of a lusty, able body, which made him the more haughty; he would always be condemning the poor people in their sickness, and cursing them daily with grievous execrations, and did not let to tell them, that he hoped to help to cast half of them overboard before they came to their journey's end, and to make merry with what they had; and if he were by any gently reproved, he would curse and swear most bitterly. But it pleased God before they came half seas over, to smite this young man with a grievous disease, of which he died in a desperate manner, and so was himself the first that was thrown overboard. Thus his curses light on his own head; and it was an astonishment to all his fellows, for they noted it to be the just hand of God upon him.
After they had enjoyed fair winds and weather for a season, they were encountered many times with cross winds, and met with many fierce storms, with which the ship was shroudly shaken, and her upper works made very leaky; and one of the main beams in the mid ships was bowed and cracked, which put them in some fear that the ship could not be able to perform the voyage. So some of the chief of the company, perceiving the mariners to fear the sufficiency of the ship, as appeared by their mutterings, they entered into serious consultation with the master and other officers of the ship, to consider in time of the danger; and rather to return then to cast themselves into a desperate and inevitable peril.
And truly there was great distraction and difference of opinion among the mariners themselves; fain would they do what could be done for their wages sake, (being now half the seas over,) and on the other hand they were loath to hazard their lives too desperately. But in examining of all opinions, the master and others affirmed they knew the ship to be strong and firm under water; and for the buckling of the main beam, there was a great iron screw the passengers brought out of Holland, which would raise the beam into his place; the which being done, the carpenter and master affirmed that with a post put under it, set firm in the lower deck, and other-ways bound, he would make it sufficient.
And as for the decks and upper works they would caulk them as well as they could, and though with the working of the ship they would not long keep staunch, yet there would otherwise be no great danger, if they did not overpress her with sails. So they committed themselves to the will of God, and resolved to proceed. In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce, and the seas so high, as they could not bear a knot of sail, but were forced to hull, for divers days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull, in a mighty storm, a lusty young man (called John Howland) coming upon some occasion above the gratings, was, with a seele of the ship thrown into the sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards, which hung overboard, and ran out at length; yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with a boat hook and other means got into the ship again, and his life saved; and though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after, and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth.
In all this voyage their died but one of the passengers, which was William Butten, a youth, servant to Samuel Fuller, when they drew near the coast. But to omit other things, (that I may be brief,) after long beating at sea they fell with that land which is called Cape Cod; the which being made and certainly known to be it, they were not a little joyful. After some deliberation had amongst themselves and with the master of the ship, they tacked about and resolved to stand for the southward (the wind and weather being fair) to find some place about Hudson's River for their habitation. But after they had sailed that course about half a day, they fell amongst dangerous shoals and roaring breakers, and they were so far entangled therewith as they conceived themselves in great danger; and the wind shrinking upon them withal, they resolved to bear up again for the Cape, and thought themselves happy to get out of those dangers before night overtook them, as by God's providence they did.
And the next day they got into the Cape-harbor where they rid in safety. A word or two by the way of this cape; it was thus first named by Captain Gosnold and his company, Anno. 1602, and after by Captain Smith was called Cape James; but it retains the former name amongst seamen. Also that point which first showed these dangerous shoals unto them, they called Point Care, and Tucker's Terror; but the French and Dutch to this day call it Malabar, by reason of those perilous shoals, and the losses they have suffered there.
Being thus arrived in a good harbor and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of heaven, who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth, their proper element. And no marvel if they were thus joyful, seeing wise Seneca was so affected with sailing a few miles on the coast of his own Italy; as he affirmed, that he had rather remain twenty years on his way by land, then pass by sea to any place in a short time; so tedious and dreadful was the same unto him.
Upon these inducements some few well disposed Gentlemen and Merchants of London and other places provided two ships, the one of 160 Tunnes [the Mayflower], the other of 70 [the Speedwell]; they left the coast of England the 23 of August, with about 120 persons: but the next day the lesser ship sprung a leake, that forced their return to Plymouths [England]: where discharging her and 20 passengers, with the great ship and a hundred persons besides sailers, they set saile againe the sixt of September, and the ninth of November fell with Cape James [Cape Cod]; but being pestered nine weeks in this leaking unwholesome ship, lying wet in their cabbins, most of them grew very weak, and weary of the sea.
