My Longest Night
A Twelve-Year-Old Heroine's Stirring Account of D-Day and After
By Genevieve Duboscq
Fifty years have passed since the Normandy landing that began the liberation of France from Nazi occupation. This touching eyewitness account, told from the perspective of a twelve-year-old girl, has all the force and beauty of Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl.
As the first wave of Allied paratroopers landed behind the lines in Normandy on the night of June 5, 1944, many fell into the flooded marshlands on either side of the railway line that ran between Paris and Cherbourg—virtually in the Duboscq family's backyard. Throughout that historic night, Geneviève and her father, a hard-drinking peasant named Papa Maurice, saved numerous Americans from drowning and gave them refuge while they regrouped for what was to become one of the most heroic battles of World War II.

Beyond Language
A Philosophical Journey
by Vern R. Walker
82 Pages, 5.50 x 8.50 x 0.16 in
$11.00 / £8.00 / AU$16.00
Our use of everyday language should be mysterious, but familiarity hides the feeling of mystery. This book is a brief meditation on that mysterious activity. Building language outward from descriptions of the present moment, the meditation moves through our talk about space and time, to the realm of everyday thinking and science. But language enriches us further--through communities of meaning (morality, art, mysticism) to transcendence (the universe, God, and self). This meditation repeatedly cycles us from familiarity to wonder--about community, about consciousness, and ultimately about life itself.
Vern R. Walker is Professor Emeritus of Law at Hofstra University in New York, and he also has a doctorate degree in philosophy. He is the author of many articles on language, meaning, argument, and reasoning, in both law and philosophy.
"This Heraclitean-like exploration of language, time, science, relationship, law, and transcendence—written in succinct prose capped with spare, arresting poetry—will lead a reader to self-reflection and to an enriched awareness of reality's elemental but expansive force. The author's generous humanity evinces—and evokes—a sense of gratitude 'for all that is.'"
—Patrick Jordan, managing editor emeritus, Commonweal
"Walker fought in Vietnam, completed his PhD in philosophy, trained and practiced law in New York, and retired to work pro bono on behalf of social justice. Beyond Language is his first excursion into literature and poetry. Its key theme is that literature and fine art enable us to explore the limits of the verbal pathways we construct to communicate as social beings, and thereby to understand what exists beyond language. The book itself is an artistic accomplishment."
—K. Sayre, professor emeritus, University of Notre Dame
"Part philosophy of language, part deep personal meditation, Beyond Language is a profound and sensitive exploration of the omnipresence and potency of words. Words define us personally and communally. Through words we encounter systems of law and worlds of artistic expression. Walker teaches us that only through words can we grasp what it is to be human and to seek to approach the infinite."
—Frederick M. Lawrence, secretary and CEO, The Phi Beta Kappa Society, and distinguished lecturer, Georgetown University Law Center
"As a philosopher, law professor, and researcher in artificial intelligence, Vern Walker has examined more closely than most how we use language to perform real work in the world. In this fascinating book, Professor Walker extends his view beyond language. Combining poetic expression and analytic prose in this work of experience, knowledge, and beauty, he employs 'language to demonstrate the limitations of language,' the most important work language can perform."
—Kevin D. Ashley, author of Artificial Intelligence and Legal Analytics: New Tools for Law Practice in the Digital Age

A video posted by Khabib Nurmagomedov's father and coach, Abdulmanap, shows yet another Dagestani child wrestling with a bear, just as his son had done over a decade previous to winning his UFC lightweight crown.
Remember that crazy video where future UFC champ Nurmagomedov wrestled with a bear cub in his back yard as a nine-year-old kid?
Seems like everyone in Dagestan does, too. The shall we say 'unorthodox' training method looks like it is about to become a ritual in the region, where every other young wrestling hopeful now wants to follow in Khabib's footsteps to MMA glory.
"So training has begun for our brothers. [This is a] good example of the path to the highest awards," Abdulmanap captioned the Facebook video post in Russian, as the youngster smiles while trying to ward off the mauling bear.
In the video, the 'next Khabib' hopeful can be seen writhing around on the floor with the bear, who is wearing a harness and being held on a leash by a handler, while other boys and older men can be seen smiling and laughing, much like Khabib's first foray into outdoor wrestling, Dagestan-style.

in the form of Folk, Rock, Blues & Country
Jan London
Jan London, Guitar, Dobro, Lap Steel.
Jan London- Guitar- Jan has been playing guitar for 35 years. He studied early on with world class guitarist and teacher Arlen Roth in Manhattan. "He taught me to look outside the blues, which was my passion, and learn to understand guitars relationship to other musical forms such as country, bluegrass, R & B, Funk, Folk, Cajun, and specifically how to serve the SONG". This musical gumbo gave Jan the foundation that led from years as a blues sideman to 20 years in roots oriented jam band, Stir Fried http://www.stirfried.com/ . Being in Stir Fried afforded Jan the opportunity to tour alongside such brilliant musicians as Pedal steel ace Buddy Cage (New Riders of the Purple Sage, Ian and Sylvia) and fiddle legend Vassar Clements (Bill Monroe, Old and in the Way, Grateful Dead), Dr John, Tony Trischka, Leo Nocentelli and more. Jan currently also plays guitar in the funky & soulful Rock -N- Roll band The Barn Cats as well as with Stir Fried & The Johnny Markowski Band.
John Rocklin, Guitar & Vocals.
John Rocklin- Guitar, Vocals- "I feel like my life has always revolved around music. The connections and circumstances that I have ended up being around are truly remarkable to me. My Father had a great love for Folk & Country Music and from an early age exposed me to very up-close and informal gatherings in Washington Square Park. I was around Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk,Woody Guthrie, Rambling Jack Elliot, Maria Muldaur,Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and so many more."
"I also feel like my Grandmother on my mothers side had a large hand in my fascination with music. Some of my earliest memories are of sitting on her lap and her holding my wrists to help me clap along in time with her singing old time songs that she knew from the South."
"As a teenager all my energy was spent working to buy used records and going to see concerts. I am truly humbled and at a loss for explanation of how I ever was lucky enough to get up close and immersed in the performances of so many truly incredible musicians and historic figures. Most of the time hitchhiking everywhere I went. I remember going by myself to see such notables as Muddy Waters and Bill Monroe & his Bluegrass boys as I could not find anybody else even remotely interested."
In 1996, by then well into his later thirties, John met and befriended Blues Harmonica legend, Little Sammy Davis. "Although I had played guitar & sang most of my life it never really came together for me until I began taking a few lessons from Fred " Midnight Slim" Scribner who was Sammy's guitar player. " "Starting with Fred getting me a little straightened out on a lot of things musical and culminating with just soaking in everything I could from Sammy set me straight on the righteous path. Being around Sammy also put me once again in close proximity to so many great artists whose presence enriched my musical journey so much more. I began to document my experiences photographically which led me into a career as a photographer. My photography never strays too far from the music as can be seen on my website, www.johnrocklinphotography.com."
In 2006 John founded The Honesdale Roots & Rhythm Music Festival & was the musical director for the first 6 years. The Crackers was founded by John in 2003 and has gone through a few stylistic as well as line-up changes but has always remained true to just plain good American music. John also plays guitar and sings a few in A funky and soulful Rock -N- Roll band The Barn Cats. www.thembarncats.com

Home » Dark Matter » "Unknown Dark Object" –Burst an Enormous Hole in the Milky Way (2019 Most Popular)
Posted on Dec 30, 2019 in Astronomy, Black Hole, Dark Matter, Science, Space
An enormous "something" more massive than a star, appears to have torn a hole in part of the Milky Way's halo. The "dark substructure" was found in data from Gaia spacecraft observations—a mission producing the most detailed 3D map of our galaxy—with Harvard's Ana Bonaca noticing a perturbation in a tidal stream. Bonaca is a leading authority on how the tidal field of the Milky Way galaxy disrupts globular clusters, and what the resulting debris can tell us about the underlying distribution of dark matter.(Each day, between Christmas and New Year's Day, we'll post one of The Daily Galaxy's 2019 most viewed posts as ranked by Google Analytics. With our best wishes for The Holidays.)
Globular clusters are large congregations of stars, explains Bonaca, which gradually lose their members to form thin and long star streams. "In pristine conditions," she observes, "these streams have a nearly uniform density, however, new observations of one such structure in the Milky Way halo have revealed a likely site of perturbation. The on-sky morphology suggests a recent, close encounter with a massive and dense perturber. This discovery opens up the exciting possibility that detailed observations of streams could measure the abundance of dark-matter substructure and thus shed light on the nature of dark matter.
The "perturber", as Bonaca dubs it, is unknown –"It's a dense bullet of something," she told LiveScience. The hole is enormous, that whatever created it was much more massive than a star. "Something like a million times the mass of the sun. So there are just no stars of that mass. We can rule that out. And if it were a black hole, it would be a supermassive black hole of the kind we find at the center of our own galaxy."
Telescope observations do not show any large luminous object moving away from the hole, which led Bonaca to suggest the perturbation could have been made by dark matter. "Observations permit a low-mass dark-matter subhalo as a plausible candidate," Bonaca's abstract says.
Ghosts of the Milky Way –"Have Our Galaxy Ringing Like a Bell"
If it was a dense blob of dark matter that smashed through the tidal stream, it would be an exciting find for scientists, as it would provide them the opportunity of studying the elusive substance. The discovery of a dark matter "bullet" would also fit with current predictions about what dark matter is like—research suggests it is "clumpy," in that it is not smooth and evenly distributed around the universe.
"Dark Matter Particles as Big as a Galaxy"
Identifying a clump of dark matter "opens up the possibility that detailed observations of streams could measure the mass spectrum of dark-matter substructures and even identify individual substructures," her abstract concludes.
The first accurate 3D map of our galaxy revealed its true shape: warped and twisted. Astronomers from Macquarie University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have used 1339 'standard' stars to map the real shape of our home galaxy. The artist's impression, Chen Xiaodian, of the warped and twisted Milky Way disk is shown below.
An international team of astronomers discovered that the Milky Way's disc of stars becomes increasingly 'warped' and twisted the further away the stars are from the galaxy's center. "We usually think of spiral galaxies as being quite flat, like Andromeda which you can easily see through a telescope," says Professor Richard de Grijs, an astronomer from Australia's Macquarie University.

Popis strategických her série
Hráč těží zlato a dřevo a za ně v budovách staví vojenské jednotky. Těmi zkoumá mapu, bojuje s nepřítelem o přístup ke zlatým dolům, snaží se mu způsobit ztráty, zničit budovy nebo pracovní jednotky. Stavbou dalších budov a vynalézáním objevů získává hráč možnost stavět pokročilejší typy jednotek, nebo jednotky získají další schopnosti.

Hráč vítězí splněním daného úkolu, který často zní zničit všechny jednotky a budovy soupeře. Všechny díly obsahují kampaně (tažení), jejichž jednotlivé scénáře na sebe navazují a postupně umožňují hráči používat více a více pokročilých jednotek; díl 1 a 3 kromě toho umožňuje nastavitelnou bitvu na volitelné mapě, kde cílem je zničit všechny nepřátele.

Systém soubojů je prostý: Každá jednotka má počet hit-points, brnění tlumící zranění a sílu útoku; kouzlící jednotky mají též manu, která limituje počet seslatelných kouzel.

Příklady jednotek
 Rolník – jednotka pro stavbu budov a těžbu surovin.
 Pěšák a rytíř – pozemní jednotka s mnoha hit-points, která brání nepřátelům se dostat ke zranitelným jednotkám.
 Střelec – jednotka vhodná k vyřazení zraněného nebo zvlášť nebezpečného soupeře; může útočit i na letecké jednotky.
 Mechanický tank – těžkopádná jednotka vrhající velmi ničivé střely.
 Létající stroj – Lehká letecká jednotka, která ze začátku útočí pouze na letecké jednotky, ale může provést výzkum na schopnost útočit na pozemní jednotky.
 Kouzlící jednotky – umí sesílat ohnivý déšť, zneviditelnit jednotku, léčit, odhalit vzdálenou část mapy apod.
 Hrdina – silná speciální jednotka se spousty kouzel, většími staty než mají ostatní jednotky, poprvé se objevili v datadisku pro Warcarft II

Thanks to DOMA – Immigration Has Gotten Easier for LGBT Families
August 11, 2018 November 9, 2013 by LawHelpNY
Thanks to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), lesbian and gay married couples and families will now be able to apply for family-based petitions. The human rights organization, Immigration Equality provides answers to some of the most most-commonly asked questions regarding family-based immigration petitions for LGBT families.
If you don't see the answers to your questions below, make sure to check out the links below to other resources.
Is it true that we can now obtain a green card?
Yes. The end of DOMA means that LGBT families will be treated the same under immigration law as different-immigrant families. LGBT families no longer have to worry about having their application denied because they are lesbian or gay.
Do we need a lawyer? Do we need a lawyer that specializes in LGBT issues?
You should always consult with a lawyer when applying for an immigration benefit or petition. Immigration Equality maintains a referral list of private immigration attorneys who have an understanding of LGBT issues. To request an attorney referral from Immigration Equality, please fill out the Contact Us form on their website: http://immigrationequality.org. Your lawyer does not need to specialize in LGBT issues to assist you.
What are the different types of relationship-based immigration petitions?
For families where both partners are in the United States, the U.S. citizen can submit a marriage based spousal petition and the foreign partner can apply for a green card through a procedure known as "adjustment of status." So long as the foreign partner did not enter the U.S. without inspection (EWI) (i.e. crossing the border), this option should be available regardless of whether or not the foreign spouse is in lawful status or has fallen out of lawful status.
For families who are married and the foreign spouse is located outside the United States, the U.S. partner can submit a spousal petition and the foreign spouse can apply for an immigrant visa through the U.S. consulate, in a procedure known as "consular processing." For families who are not already married, the U.S. partner can sponsor their spouse to come to the U.S. on a fiancé/e visa, which will allow the two to marry in the U.S. and subsequently file a marriage based application.
Don't see your questions answered here? Check out their website for more info on Relationship-Based Petitions.

The top 10 things to catch on the BBC this Christmas
By Sarah Carson,
Wednesday, 2nd December 2015
Alex Kingston and Peter Capaldi in Doctor Who (Credit: BBC)
As the Christmas telly schedules are announced, here's our list of the BBC's best programmes across the festive season.
Revered or feared by everyone at this time of year, the Christmas TV season is almost upon us. While we have a few weeks to wait before we're settling on the sofa with a selection box, the schedules are being announced and there is much to look forward to. So in addition to the usual offerings (Carols from King's, Jools Holland's Hootenanny, Top of the Pops, and the specials from the soaps), here are our picks - in no particular order - of the best things to catch across the BBC this Christmas.
The cast of And Then There Were None (Credit: BBC)
Poldark heartthrob Aidan Turner returns to the Cornish cliffs in this tense adaptation of Agatha Christie's bestselling mystery novel. Rehashed in multiple forms over the years, the story observes a group of strangers who are summoned to the party of an anonymous host. The only thing each of them has in common is that they're hiding a secret...
Begins Boxing Day at 9pm on BBC One
We're Doomed: The Making of Dad's Army
Ahead of next year's cinema version of this seminal British sitcom, here's the story behind the original. Starring Paul Ritter and Richard Dormer as the show's creators Jimmy Perry and David Croft, this is a promising dramatised retelling of the pair's struggle to get the programme on television back in the Sixties.
22nd December, 9pm on BBC Two
The cast of Dickensian (Credit: BBC)
Not your average period drama, this is a 20-part mash-up of Charles Dickens's greatest works. Stars in the exciting Victorian project - in which well-known characters from different books cross over into each others' lives - include the likes of Caroline Quentin as Mrs Bumble from Oliver Twist, Stephen Rea as Bucket from Bleak House and Pauline Collins as Mrs Gamp from Martin Chuzzlewit.
It's Christmas, so we know to expect an instalment from the sci-fi stalwart around teatime. Mourning the recent loss of companion Clara, Peter Capaldi's Doctor will meet River Song for the first time, as the fantastic Alex Kingston returns to the role in what Steven Moffat has described as a Christmas romp that's "towards the comedy-thriller end".
Christmas Day, 5.15pm on BBC One
Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in Sherlock (Credit: BBC)
Making the most anticipated return of the season are Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in Sherlock, with this one-off special The Abominable Bride - a brand new story that, we're promised, is much in keeping with others by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The Sleigh Ride
Remember BBC Four's Slow TV season earlier this year? It's back, and this time we join cameras and reindeer in Lapland for a splendid, calming, snowy ride in a sleigh - free of narration or music.

Christmas Day, 7.30pm, BBC One
It would be remiss not to mention the return of Luther - even if it begins a little earlier than most other Christmas programming. Idris Elba is back in the superlatively gripping crime drama - except now that Ruth Wilson has left the show, he's got a new serial killer to hunt down in place of the beguiling Alice.
Starts 15 December at 9pm on BBC One
Elliot Sprakes and David Walliams (Credit: BBC)
David Walliams's book adaptations have proven hugely popular in recent years, and are becoming something of a Chistmas staple in very Roald Dahl fashion. Billionaire Boy is the story of 12-year-old Joe, whose rich father can buy him everything he wants - except for a friend. Warm, heartening, silly family fun.

Stick Man
Julia Donaldson's Stick Man (Credit: BBC)
A few years ago, the BBC won huge acclaim for its lovely adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's children's book The Gruffalo, and is hoping to repeat that success with Stick Man, another of their creations. With the likes of Martin Freeman, Hugh Bonneville and Jennifer Saunders lending their voices, the film tells the story of Stick Man, who is separated from his family and must navigate the trials and tribulations of being treated like a stick, all on his own.

As we close September and open October, we have moved into the "Cast 'n Blast "season as Bird season opened October 1. On the down side, this is the last month for angling this season.
Now for a bit more on the good-bad line that characterizes many jokes. The good news is that there are great numbers of fish in the system. The bad: They don't want to take a fly.
The counting fences are reporting a somewhat quiet group of numbers. The Northwest trapnet at Cassilis is averaging less than six fish daily, while Millerton on the Main Southwest Miramichi has had a pendulum swing to it this past week. Last Wednesday to Friday it had an average of 20 grilse and seven salmon. On Sunday it had a total of four grilse, and continues to Wednesday with less than 10 totals.
These results fuel the questions on most anglers' minds: Where is the Fall Run, or has it already come? Mark Hambrook who manages the MSA hatchery in Miramichi offered an overview that is worth considering. He noted that last year there was a change in terms of the Fall Run. Normally, the Fall Run would arrive as its name suggests, in the Fall. This would include 60-75% of the big spawners.
Last year (and now this is shaping up to look the same) the Fall run came early. About 2/3 to ¾ of the run came earlier in the season. Last year was a dry season. This year has been a wet one with lots of high water and no Fall Run yet, although over all numbers have been great. Does that mean that the run has already come in? The only plausible answer is the fish know best and we will have to wait to see what finally happens and as to whether this earlier arrival will be the trend of the future. Anyway, this is something to chew the fat on.
PUMKIN FLING A SUCCESS !
Angling has been moderate to good along the system. The upper stretches of the Main Southwest received more rain than the lower stretches and wiped out fishing around Doaktown area this past weekend. Gradually, rivers are dropping and angling is returning to normal.
The trapnet at Cassilis is still averaging only one or two grilse a day and maybe one salmon, but the Millerton trapnet has shown an improvement during the past week. There has been a bump in numbers, but no bumper crop of a fall run yet. Monday saw Millerton produce 15 grilse and two salmon while Tuesday it had nine grilse and two salmon. Overall this past week there has been an average of 10 grilse and five salmon daily, so numbers are improving.
Today is the start of the annual three-day "Swamp-Donkey" hunt, otherwise known as "Moose Season" in New Brunswick, so if you are out and about, particularly off the beaten tracks, be a little careful and wear some "Hunter Orange", and don't fish too many flies tied with moose-hair or an eagle-eye shot might just pick off that special fly.
Organizers of the fourth annual APEGNB Pumpkin Fling are rolling out the air cannon and getting ready to blast pumpkins into the Miramichi River on September 23—all in an effort to acquaint festival-goers with basic engineering principles such as aerodynamics, friction and gravity.
Generally, there are fish through out the system, but not necessarily in great numbers, and only a few fresh ones as there has not been a big fall run as of yet. Getting the fish to take is also another problem, but those who are putting in the time, are having limited success. Water levels are dropping, but generally still on the high side.
DowntownS Miramichi- "WE'RE" doin a great job!!!


Rihanna - Year of the Dragon?
R and B singing sensation Rihanna has set a new record as the first female solo artist in UK chart history to achieve number one singles in five consecutive years. The Official Charts Company announced her record after What`s My Name? hit the top spot. The last solo artist to achieve five in a row was Elvis Presley, who had number ones in each year from 1957 to 1963. With such an accolade to start off 2011, what else is in store for the internationally renowned singer?
Rihanna was born on February 20th 1988, making her a Pisces born in the Chinese year of the Dragon. Dragons are believed to be one of the luckiest of all Chinese star signs, and Rihanna`s meteoric rise could certainly be construed as `lucky`. But Dragons are also hard workers, realising that success isn`t guaranteed and recognition has to be earned. Rihanna`s punishing schedule of appearances and performances indicates that this Dragon lady certainly isn`t afraid of hard work. It may also be that her Dragon front masks deeper Piscean insecurities and a need to constantly prove herself to others. One thing is certain - Rihanna`s success looks set to continue throughout 2011 and expect her to break more music industry records in the coming months as her irresistible Dragon personality draws in even greater flocks of admirers.


The heads of government of the various EU member states are meeting together this evening to discuss, among other things, who should replace Romano Prodi as President of the European Commission. It's an important decision – but there isn't a clear front-runner. For what it's worth, my estimate of the various candidates' chances of getting the nod.
Guy Verhofstadt – Prime Minister of Belgium. Due to be nominated tonight as the 'official' compromise candidate by Ireland, which holds the EU presidency. Doesn't have much of a hope though – Tony Blair has indicated that Verhofstadt would be unacceptable to Britain. He's too federalist, and was a vocal opponent of the war in Iraq (annoying Italy and Poland too). While Britain could be outvoted in theory, in practice, the opposition of one of the major member states is almost certainly enough to scotch Verhofstadt's chances.
Jean-Claude Juncker – Prime Minister of Luxembourg. A likely choice – he's very popular among his fellow heads of government, although the British are a little luke-warm. However, he's been swearing blue that he's quite happy in Luxembourg, and doesn't want the job. There's a lot of speculation that he might be persuaded to take the Presidency for the good of Europe, but nobody seems to know for sure, and his repeated disavowals have meant that some of his support has shifted elsewhere.
Bertie Ahern – Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland. Another "reluctant" candidate, but one who has apparently been hinting to the back-benchers in his party that he would answer the call if his fellow heads of government insist. However, he may just be trying to deflect criticism by encouraging speculation about his future – his political party has done deplorably badly in recent local and European Parliament elections. Ireland holds the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, which means that Ahern has difficulty in promoting himself directly – but he would be an acceptable choice to all the member states, including Britain.
Chris Patten – Commissioner for External Relations. A bit of a dark horse. No-one would have rated his chances much a few days ago – but he's now emerged as the preferred candidate of the centre-right European People's Party, the largest party in the European Parliament (EP). The Parliament ratifies the appointment of the Commission President, and votes for the Commission as a whole by a vote of confidence – it has been assiduously trying to push for something vaguely resembling a traditional parliamentary system in the EU, in which the dominant party in the EP would play an important role in deciding on a candidate for the Commission's Presidency. Given the indecision among the member states over who to go for, the EP may just about get away with it, and in so doing, perhaps set a very important precedent for Parliament-Commission relations. He's British though, which means that the French and the Germans are likely to oppose him (especially because his French-language skills are at best functional).
Pat Cox – outgoing President of the European Parliament. Cox has made no secret of his ambition for the job, and would be viewed by most member states as a safe pair of hands. However, in the absence of strong support from Ireland or any other member state, his chances are marginal.
Antonio Vittorino – Commissioner for Justice and Home Affairs. Universally popular among the member states – and informally viewed by many of them as the best candidate for the job. He's Portuguese, and the Portuguese government would like to see him in Brussels, both because it would be a coup, and because it would keep him out of national politics in Portugal for a while (he's the most talented figure in the Socialist opposition). An extremely long shot though; it's highly unlikely that a Socialist would get the nod, even one like Vittorino who's well liked by the center-right and liberals.
I'd love to see Chris Patten in the job. He stands head and shoulders above the rest and could do a lot to restore some dignity and purpose to the position.
Junker and Verhofstadt are as dull as sticks. Pat Cox loves the sound of his own voice. Vittorino is as unlikely as he would be able.
Bertie's posturing is tiresome and silly. It's as if he has an invisible Mrs. Doyle beside him; "ah go on. you will, you will, you will, you will, you will." Will he…?
c) a dangerous melgomaniac would be placed in a position of no influence.
Obviously a rotating presidency would be the ideal solution but….you cant have everything.
It's got to be Patten. Bertie has trouble with English, never mind any other languages. I wouldn't mind Vittorino but as Henry says it's unlikely. Verhofstadt looks like Elton John. What a dismal shower!
According to the Canard Enchaîné, Chirac refuses to consider people from countries outside the Schengen organisation – so English and Irish candidates are out.
Chris Patten is by far the best choice. He is highly intelligent, able to run difficult organizations (British Tory Party, Hong Kong), a genuinely nice person. Of course, this being the EU, he won't be selected. Expect some dull compromise candidate.


Deja Vu is a sci-fi action thriller set in modern times. After an act of terrorism in New Orleans. ATF agent Carlin seems to have a knack for sorting out evidence. He catches the eye of FBI agent Pryzwarra. But a woman who appears to be a victim of the bombing catches Carlin's eye.
S oon Carlin is working on Pryzwarra's secret project- they have the ability to see the past unfold like a live stream 4 days later. They want Carlin to help them sort out the clues to catch the killer. But Carlin wants to prevent the bombing, and save the girl.
Yes, a space-time continuum police movie. This opens tons of philosophical questions, which the movie isn't really attempting to answer (much to Kilmer's disappointment I'm sure). There seem to be some glitches in the plot as a result. But, the movie is interesting, and has a goodly amount of action. Unfortunately, it also has a bit of vouyerism as well. That was a tad predictable- but at least it wasn't over the top. Yet, I think both of us were uncomfortable with it.
Aside from that, we both enjoyed the movie and not just because it got us out of the heat. This is good, because the CavWife is not big on sci-fi anything.
Here's where it's at. I really wish I could have gone to the meeting earlier this year. It just wasn't in the budget. But have no fear….
As reported elsewhere by many others, the Gospel Coalition website is up. I like the subtitle "for the next generation of gospel-faithful ministry." This is chock full of resources. It is far from complete, but they do have the plenary sessions in audio and video available (including Keller, Piper, Carson). They have a number of articles by current gospel guys like Tim Keller and C.J. Mahaney. And they have articles from dead gospel guys like Calvin, Luther, Boston, Warfield.
They also have their confessional statement and a theological vision for ministry. This really is a place to bookmark and visit often. So often groups get caught up in issues. This is about the Big Issue, the Ultimate Issue. It is a unity that is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I'm not sure where all of these guys paid to pay attention have been doing, but they haven't been paying attention.
Boston.com's Eric Wilbur thinks Danny doesn't know what he's doing, and he quotes a few others who can't figure it out.
In the real world, I have been hearing Danny say from the outset that the plan was to get some valuable pieces to rebuild the team. Those valuable pieces would be tradeable contracts (Ratliff) and young players. The goal was to create a team that would be able to play a more up-tempo game.
That is one big locust, folks. We sure can grow them in Florida.
Thanks to a draft day trade, the Celtics now have Allen Ray and the much better Ray Allen playing shooting guard. The Celtics traded Wally, Delonte West and the #5 pick, which was Jeff Green (who could have been paired with Gerald Green for the boys in green but won't).
The Celtics really needed a consistent outside shooter and experience. Ray Allen can certainly do that. He had a career high 26 points per last season. Ray is also a pretty good passer, and can play point guard for short stretches. This will stretch the defense and open up the game for Paul and Al.
This trade will probably make Pierce happy. He has another proven scorer. He should make Paul better. He's really missed Walker, but Ray will shoot far better than 'Toine ever did.
We traded 2 guys who couldn't stay healthy for another guy who has had trouble staying healthy lately. Those 26 ppg came in only 55 games last season. He's coming off of ankle surgery, but is still more athletic than Wally was. Ray is not known for his defense, which has been a problem for the Celtics. Jeff Green was supposed to be a pretty good defender.
Ray's contract is a year longer than Wally's. At least it is only 3 years, which will put Ray at 35. The Celtics will, if he stays healthy, get the tail end of Ray's prime. His contract is also more expensive than Wally's (and probably Delonte's too). So… you have to fill 2 more roster spots (include Green) with less available money. So our salary cap flexibility will not be great.
This puts lots of pressure to get the job done in the next 3 years, before the rebuilding begins again. Unless Gerald, Rajon and Tony Allen develop well.
I guess we'll know by December whether this was a good trade or not.
Update: Boston.com is reporting that we also get the 35th pick in this trade. Oooh, 2 second round picks. Though Danny seems to do very well in the second round. We need some height, Danny, height.
The latest rumor is that the 3rd trading partner for Minny & Phoenix is Charlotte. Charlotte would get Amare.
If I'm Danny Ainge, I'd call and say I'd give up Al Jefferson and the #5 for Amare Stoudamire. How can that hurt? If there is one young player I'd trade Al to get- Amare is the one.
Here's a summary w/links to player profiles.
I hope Green will be the guy (unless Atlanta does the unthinkable and Horford is available), and fear it will be Jianlian (PROJECT). I have no clue for the second round. Pruitt sounds good. Big Baby… not so good.

..........and they said it couldn't be done !!
Defying all odds a 'nucleus' of the Canadian EGC/SHS contingent held their annual get-together in Hammamet, Tunisia under the newly adopted name 'Group Agamy'. Every year we seem to appreciate a slow down in pace therefore it was decided that two weeks would be adequate time to relax and enjoy our stay in Tunisia.
A lively and lovely group of 22 participants were present and once again that friendly warmth for which 'Masriins' are renowned surfaced to welcome the 'new blood'.
Mother Nature was most cooperative for here we were in the month of October blessed with unbelievable warm weather and we were able to bask in the sun on a beautiful beach and enjoy both surf and sun on a daily basis. Often we would lose track of the time spent in the water and it was only when looking at our shriveled fingers did we recall our childhood when our parents would call out to us to get out of the water because we had 'ghrasalla's hands' !!!
We took breaks from the beach when excursions were scheduled. Boarding a pirate galleon we sailed along the Hammamet coast sighting at close range numerous dolphins. The coastline was to be a preview to the inland historical sites we were to visit.
Touring the Cap Bon peninsula we visited Nabeul , Kerkouane and Korbous where we witnessed artisans at work. A visit to a Berber village was a fine example of their hospitality in their modest abode. Then on the way to Bouargoub we were treated with wine tasting at the Château Bachus. One would never expect such a large variety of wines enough to please a connoisseur's palate.
The capital city, Tunis , was a shopper's delight offering a Medina with souks in winding and never ending lanes and yes we did lose a couple of drifters nevertheless happy to find them safe and sound! No visit to Tunisia would be complete without a visit to the russet cliffs of Carthage and its numerous archeological sites. Photographic cameras were constantly 'clicking' when we reached the picturesque village in the hills that of Sidi-Ben-Said where we had refreshments served Iskandarani style, that is on the street. The well known Bardo Museum was not to be missed. There we marveled at a variety of floor, wall and ceiling mosaics which when viewed from a distance gave the impression of Flemish tapestry. Kairouan, the holy city of the Magreb was somewhat of an 'avant goût' to our visits to Monastir, Sousse and Port El Kantaoui all three well-known beach resorts.
Now, an optional excursion offered, entitled "Sahara Explorer" was that of an overnight stay in the desert. Six of our group members braved the challenge and were off to a unique experience. Upon their return to the hotel their enthusiasm was such that one could sense a bit of envy and remorse in the rest of the group. It was in the evenings when we'd gather on the outdoor terrace of the hotel that their 'Explorer' experiences were shared with the rest of us. A visit to Matmata and Douz , gate to the Sahara where they witnessed a memorable desert sunset. Then on to El Djan where they visited the largest coliseum left by the Romans in North Africa then took a drive out to the Mountain Oasis of Chebika, Tamerza and Mides and finally to Tunisia's largest archeological site in Sbeitla.
The many evenings spent on the hotel terrace gave us the opportunity to share laughs with 'nokats' , play games and entertain ourselves with shared moments of childhood memories, our roots ever present. One evening a very poetically inclined, talented lady shared one of her works with us. Indeed through her poem "Alexandrie" Linda Stroun revived in us a moment of nostalgia ...... the unforgettable Alexandria ! On a lighter side we could well mention that the Hammamet Casino was happy to see Group Agamy go back home simply because one of its participants had Lady Luck smile on her.......mabrouk! Happy events are always welcome and we did have the joy of sharing in the celebration of a 40th wedding anniversary, that of Margrit and David Elzik (VC) U.S.A. Quite an achievement dear Margrit and David ....inchallah mit sanaa beh saha wa salama!!!
Tradition has it that we should end our get-together with a Gala Dinner which was held in the hotel's 'La Vignia' restaurant. It was an opportunity for us all to show off our Sunday's best and some music amateurs even demonstrated their singing talent by joining in a sing-along with the pianist who provided a musical background during dinner. The sharing of these two weeks of enjoyable moments in a relaxed atmosphere bonded us in a friendship that leads us to make plans for 2009. The habitual survey was conducted whereby participants voiced their opinion as to where next year's reunion should be held.
Well, how about if you check with us in February, only then will we be able to inform you further. Stay tuned to our favourite website www.aaha.ch for more information.

With taxes on everyone's mind, we've been getting lots of questions about the mortgage interest deduction and how things may change under the new tax laws. For most owners, the majority of their mortgage interest (up to $750,000 worth of debt) is still very valuable. The limitation on State and Local Tax Deductions does temper the effect a bit though. IF you are thinking about buying or selling and want a more detailed discussion of the potential impact on your taxes, contact us to arrange a meeting.
The market in our area in March actually slowed slightly, compared to this time last year. Prices are still increasing (up 3.5% from the March median last year to a March high for the last 10 years), but sales volume, new contracts, and closed contracts all were down in March from this time last year. Active inventory was also down 13% from March last year, making it the 23rd consecutive month of year-over-year declines in inventory.

It is early morning and you're home alone. You hear a knock at the door and the man outside identifies himself as a water company employee. He says there are leaks in your area and he's doing a check of the homes on your street. He needs to check your meter and the inside pipes. Once inside, he asks you to run water in the utility sink as he checks the upstairs bathroom sink. While there, he steals your jewelry and money left on your dresser.
This is a description of a theft that has occurred in Aqua's service area. Unfortunately, thieves will try to gain access to your home by impersonating utility workers.
But you can protect yourself from these imposters by being informed.
In most cases, the only time Aqua would need to be inside your home is to service or exchange a meter, or to respond to a problem about which you called us. In the former case, you would be contacted by the company via mail or phone to schedule an appointment. Even in those cases, we want you to confirm that the person who comes to your property is a legitimate Aqua representative.
All Aqua employees carry company identification and are dressed in company uniforms. They also drive company vehicles (mostly white Chevrolets) with the Aqua logo prominently displayed.
Aqua employees and contractors are instructed to introduce themselves to the property owner and voluntarily present their photo ID cards so that customer can see the clearly marked Aqua logo. If the employee does not volunteer his ID card, you should ask to see it.
There are few exceptions to the scenarios described above, when you might receive an unannounced visit from an Aqua employee. An employee might come to your door to make you aware of an unscheduled service outage, such as a main break. In this case, the employee would not need to access the inside of your home. An Aqua employee might also make an unannounced visit to investigate a property that has had multiple "zero usage" bills or an account that has not had a meter read for more than 45 days. In these cases, the employee would have an Aqua photo identification card. Finally, if a meter reader has trouble getting remote meter read from outside your home, an employee might ask to enter you home to read the meter, in which case they would present their photo identification card. If you are ever uncomfortable with the person who comes to your door or the reason they give you for the visit, you may call customer service at 877.987.2782 to have both the visit and the name of the employee confirmed before allowing entry to your home.
Aqua's meter, maintenance, and construction workers generally wear navy blue or khaki-colored outer clothing with bright orange or lime green shirts with the Aqua logo.
If at any time you feel threatened, do not allow the person into your home and contact the local police department immediately.

Re-Covered: Sally-Anne's Illustrated Favourite Albums
If you're anything like us, throughout Lockdown you may have been seeking refuge in some of your favourite records, perhaps rediscovering some old classics along the way. In the first of a new feature, illustrator Sally-Anne Hickman re-imagines her favourite ten albums of all time by painting their covers in her own unique style, using watercolours.
Check out the first of Sally-Anne's choices below, and keep your eyes peeled for the rest over the next few weeks…
Hole – Live Through This
From the opening chords coupled with the lyrics "and the sky was made of amethyst", 'Violet' – the opening track of Live Through This – perfectly captures the powerful raw energy that courses through this album's veins. Courtney Love's personal lyrics deal with themes of body image, motherhood and revenge, creating various female characters written from her own pain and trauma. I have played this album thousands of times, its blended melodies sit over the heavy guitar riffs perfectly and were a chaotic soundtrack to my adolescence.

FIVE FAVOURITES: Ilgen-Nur
If Hamburg-based "Slackerqueen" Ilgen-Nur had listened to the doubts instilled in her mind by the petty comments of her male teenage counterparts, she wouldn't be preparing to release her debut album Power Nap on 30th August via her own label Power Nap Records. "If some stupid boys…hadn't given me the feeling that I had nothing on my plate, I would have knocked something out four or five years ago at the age of 18/19" she recounts, "It took me so long to rebuild my self-confidence".
But that's exactly what she's done, having released an EP titled No Emotions in 2017, playing slots at The Great Escape Festival, Eurosonic and Spot Festival, and even having her song '17' chosen for Netflix series How to Sell Drugs online (fast).
We think one of the best ways to get to know an artist is by asking what music inspired them to write in the first place. We caught up with Ilgen-Nur to ask her about her "Five Favourites" – five albums that have influenced her songwriting techniques. Check out her choices below, and make sure you listen to her brand new track 'Nothing Surprises Me' at the end of this post.
1. Kate Nash – Made of Bricks
This album is probably the reason why I'm writing music. Made of Bricks by Kate Nash was the first album I purchased that wasn't something that was considered "mainstream" or some sort of music I got to know through TV or the radio. Actually, my sister recommended it to me after hearing the song 'Foundations' which I feel like to this day is an iconic indie song for an entire generation. I was immediately drawn to the story-telling songwriting and I remember listening to this album over and over again for years and years (starting when I was 11) and just getting obsessed over the lyrics, remembering every single lyric and getting lost in the characters Kate Nash was singing about. For example, 'Mariella' — I even have a reference to that song in my own song 'Cool'! I remember practicing the songs on my piano over and over again and spending endless hours watching Kate Nash interviews. After all, she was my first proper role model and I am more than thankful for that. Through her, I discovered bands like Nirvana and Hole and Bikini Kill. Kate Nash taught me that I don't have to be professional in playing an instrument to create something that I like, which I cherish to this day. And oh 'Nicest Thing' is still a classic to cry to!
2. Hole – Live Through This
When I first started getting into Hole, I read an interview with Courtney Love in which she said "I want every girl in the world to pick up a guitar and start screaming" — I believe that this statement was the ultimate reason why I asked my parents to get me an electric guitar for my 16th birthday. I started playing a bunch of Hole songs on guitar which was super fun and to this day, I love playing 'Miss World' on guitar. It's so simple, yet so energetic. Ultimately, after watching all these videos of Courtney Love perform and re-watching all these dark and dreamy Hole music videos I felt like for the first time in my life I was allowed to scream and be angry at the world. It felt, and still feels liberating to this day. Obviously at the beginning of my Hole fandom I didn't really get what most songs were about, yet later re-connected and understood the themes of sexual abuse, trauma and feeling angry and empty. It's a powerful album to me, and it's also probably one of my favorite artworks.
3. Elliott Smith – Either/Or
This one I have only discovered a year ago or so. Whilst hanging out at my bassists place 'Between the Bars' came on and I was drawn to it immediately. My guitarist and roommate had Either/Or on vinyl and I couldn't stop listening to it, I put it on almost every morning for months, got completely sad and lost in all the songs. I was surprised that it literally took me this long to discover Elliott Smith, but I'm also thankful and excited about it. I'm very drawn to his guitar sound and the overlapping of vocals and the general lo-fi sound. I actually once got asked if the title of my first EP No Emotions is linked to Elliott Smith's song 'Waltz #2' where he sings "she shows no emotion at all, stares into space like a dead china doll" — but at the time I didn't even know the song, only later listened to it randomly and that line came up and I was super perplexed and didn't know what to say. I felt even more connected to his whole persona and music. 'Angeles' is by far one of my favorite songs generally and on this album.
4. Jeff Buckley – Grace
Every time someone plays 'Lover, You Should've Come Over' in the van whilst we are on tour, I believe at least one person in the car cries. I don't know what else to say, other than this is an amazing album to cry to and be melancholic and dramatic. It's also just perfect to me, and I feel like it's extremely underrated among other musicians. I actually don't think that a lot of my friends who play guitar music know or love this album, but I feel like it's that one album everyone can find a song on that they connect with. Jeff Buckley's voice is so beautiful, and I don't even know how and what he plays on guitar because it's definitely nothing simple but it sucks you in like crazy. His lyrics are so pure and magical, one of my favorites by him on this album is on the song 'So Real' – "Love, let me sleep tonight on your couch / and remember the smell of the fabric of your simple city dress". And "We walked around 'til the moon got full / like a plate". It's by far one of my favorite albums, it's quiet and it's loud and dramatic – it's everything. I'm definitely influenced by Buckley's singing even though I would never compare my voice to his.
5. Soko – I thought I was an Alien
Soko is not only my fashion and makeup inspiration, but also taught me so many things. I love all of her songs, but this debut album is special to me. It's extremely raw and Soko doesn't shy away when it comes to being in touch which her negative emotions and being completely honest with her listeners. I love her stories and her calm voice, and I like the way she's switching instruments when she's playing live (even though I haven't seen her live yet, unfortunately). She has this one song on this album called 'I Just Want To Make It New With You", which initially made me pick up my bass more when it came to song writing. Overall, Soko was my first queer indie icon and every one of my queer friends has cried at least once to the "We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow' video. I love Soko, and I'm so excited for her future records and videos.
Thanks to Ilgen-Nur for sharing her favourite with us. Follow her on Facebook for more updates.

BATAVIA, Ohio (Feb. 1, 2016) — The Clermont County CIC, Inc. has purchased 242 acres of land at Half Acre Road and State Route 32 in Williamsburg Township that will be developed as South Afton Commerce Park, a "business-ready" site for manufacturers.
The site has the potential to significantly boost Clermont County's economy. According to a study by the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center, the site could provide 1,855 permanent jobs once fully built out, with an additional 1,675 in related jobs (suppliers and services) for an annual payroll of $186 million. Many of those jobs would go to Clermont County residents, approximately 60% of whom now commute out of the county to work.
By year 11, the property value of the South Afton Commerce Park is estimated to be at $94 million, generating a total of $32 million in new property taxes over the life of the development, according to the study.
The Williamsburg Township Trustees applauded the efforts of the county in developing South Afton Commerce Park. "We are excited to be part of the team in bringing new investment to the township. The new real estate taxes from this business park will help offset recent cuts to our local government fund and allow us to maintain our current level of township services. This development could also be the catalyst needed to spur retail and service sector development to the eastern area of the county," said Guy Bainum, chairman of the Williamsburg Township Board of Trustees.
This site fulfills a need not just in Clermont County, but in Greater Cincinnati. Last August, Johnna Reeder, CEO of REDI Cincinnati, said that the region was far behind where it needed to be to attract manufacturers. Sixty-one companies came to Greater Cincinnati in 2014 looking for potential locations, she said, and there weren't sufficient sites to show them. Clermont County's economic development team was unable to submit sites or buildings for 83% of the 58 inquiries received last year, due to a lack of market-ready properties.
To prepare South Afton Commerce Park for potential tenants, the CIC will provide water, sewer and natural gas extensions; storm water infrastructure; telecom infrastructure; and roads. The CIC will pursue grants to help defray those costs, which will leverage the use of local public funds and increase the return on investment.
The purchase price of the land is being funded from proceeds of Clermont County's Ivy Pointe investment. In 2005, the county, using the CIC, bought the land that became Ivy Pointe, which now houses TQL, Tata Consultancy Services, Senco and others. Mercy Health and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have each also purchased over 20 acres of land at Ivy Pointe for future expansions. The principal, which has been repaid, is being used for this purchase, said Kuchta.
South Afton Commerce Park will become the largest industrial park in Clermont County and one of the largest in Greater Cincinnati in terms of available land.

Fridtjof Nansen and the Neuron
Fridtjof Nansen is one of Norway´s most celebrated sons. He is recognized world-wide for his achievements as an arctic explorer, oceanographer, humanist, statesman and Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 1922.
What is less well-known is that Nansen worked as junior curator in zoology at the Bergen Museum from 1882 to 1887, studying the nervous systems of primitive marine animals with the most up to date histological techniques, including the silver stain developed by Camillo Golgi. In Nansen's doctoral thesis of 1887 The Structure and Combination of the Histological Elements of the Central Nervous System, he -doubted the correctness of the prevailing Reticular Theory which stated that the branches of nerve cells were joined together to form a reticulum

While Nansen was away on his arctic explorations -Santiago Ramón y Cajal proved beyond doubt that the nerves ended freely. This was confirmed during the 1950s when electron microscopy showed that there was a gap between the terminal -branches of adjoining nerve cells, the cornerstone of the now–established Neuron Doctrine. In a review of the literature published in 1998 Nansen, together with -Wilhelm His Sr. and August Forel, were acknowledged as the forefathers of the doctrine.
Neuroscience has now developed into a field of scientific excellence in Norway, but Nansen's achievements as a neuro—scientist are no longer common knowledge. To remedy this is the aim of this special volume which includes facsimiles of his thesis and the German synopsis of it, as well as essays recounting his time at the Bergen Museum and his place in the history of the neuron.

HomeNews Palestinians Hurt in Israeli Attack
Palestinians Hurt in Israeli Attack
September 13, 2009 News
Two Palestinians have been shot and wounded by an Israeli man in occupied East Jerusalem.
The man opened fire late on Friday after Palestinians began throwing stones in the Silwan neighbourhood of Jerusalem, police said.
"Two Arabs were wounded in the legs at Silwan when an Israeli man shot them with his pistol after being attacked by a group of six stone-throwers," Mickey Rosenfeld, the Israeli police spokesman, told the AFP news agency.
"The two wounded were taken to Makassed hospital" in the east of the city, he said.
Shmuel Ben-Ruby, another Israeli police spokesman, said that a 13-year-old boy was among the casualties, who were lightly wounded.
He said police arrested the armed man at the scene.
The future status of predominantly Arab East Jerusalem has been a key issue in stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Israel annexed East Jerusalem and declared the whole city its capital after the 1967 Middle East war, a move not recognised by the international community.
The Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state and have accused Israel of trying to alter the social make-up of the area by destroying Palestinian homes and building Jewish settlements.
George Mitchell, the senior US envoy to the Middle East, was due to arrive in the region on Saturday for a fresh round of talks aimed at restarting the peace process.
Negotiations have been stalled since the Israeli military launched its 22-day offensive in the Gaza Strip in December last year.
His visit comes ahead of reports of a possible meeting between Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, and Barack Obama, the US president, at the UN General Assembly later in September.

AI Image Generators Paint A Mixed Picture For the Metaverse
By E-Librarys Admin
In the technology world, 2022 has been the year of AI. In the last twelve months, we've seen an explosion of AI art, tool, writers, music composers, and AI-based skin analysis. But the undoubted star of the show has been the AI image generator. Across social media, vivid digital illustrations created by a computer and a simple word prompt have slowly replaced photos.
We're already seeing this technology in the metaverse. Earlier this year, Mona rolled out an AI Material Designer that allows creators on its platform to create textures for objects without using code. Their CEO told The Block: "We are actively working to build and incorporate these types of tools into our creation pipeline for our community. We're not too far away from users being able to generate assets and entire worlds using AI inside Mona."
The Metaverse will do less for web 3 than AI. In the next bull run AI will be a bigger buzz word and vastly more beneficial. I'd argue we can't truly have a Web 3 Metaverse without AI integration.
— Papa Nut (Michael Roberts) (@MichaelRRoberts) December 14, 2022
However, the reception to AI image generation has not been universally positive. This week, the Chinese government has effectively banned the creation of AI-generated media without watermarks. Last week, Adobe began selling AI-generated photos as stock images, threatening creatives' income. Artists have also revolted at computer-generated images reaching the top of ArtStation's 'Explore' section.
According to its critics, the AI image revolution is here, and it's coming for artists' income.
Impersonation In The Metaverse
One emerging fear about the use of metaverse AI concerns the manipulation of people's photos. In a worrying case study, the technology magazine Ars Technica created a fictional man from a collection of only seven photos from a volunteer. With only this small dataset, they were able to put John in a series of compromising photos. This included a pornographic-style photo, a paramilitary-style uniform, and an orange prison jumpsuit. Whilst these examples have a slight uncanny valley appearance to them, a larger dataset, or more sophisticated AI, could produce far more incriminating images.
However, with video now taking up the majority of internet traffic, the biggest risk in the metaverse is not with your photos. As platforms like TikTok have exploded in popularity in recent years, the real jeopardy comes with fully realistic metaverse avatars. In a strange, dystopian near-future, this colossal mine of user-generated video could serve as a huge dataset. Used to create walking, talking representations that – for all intents and purposes – are indistinguishable from the real you.
Catfishing, in which people are lured into relationships with fictional online personas, could take a sinister turn. Instead of stealing a photo or two, why not become them in a virtual world? As the globe spends more of its time online, identity theft is increasing. In the US, the Identity Theft Resource Center reports it increased by 36% in 2021 compared to 2020. Metaverse platforms will have to work hard to ensure the problem isn't magnified in their AI-fuelled virtual worlds.

Q: How can I remove a FontAwesome-based background of an alert-box after clicking on the close button? I have some alert boxes on my website. I need my FontAwesome-based background to disappear when someone clicks on the close button in the upper-right corner of the alert box.

My alert box has the following code:

        ×

Warning

blah blah blah.

And the piece of code that creates the background is this:
div#system-message:before {
    position: absolute; top: 30px; right: 100px;
    font-family: FontAwesome;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    display: inline-block;
    text-decoration: inherit;
    font-size: 72px;
    line-height: 1;
    opacity: .1;
  content: "\f00c"; z-index: 1;}

When I close the alert box, the Font-Awesome background remains visible!
How can I prevent this?
Insert some: after selector in the CSS? But how?
Can some kind soul out there help me out? Cheers.

A: It's because in your CSS the background is attached to #system-message that is the parent element. You have to change your code as follow:
div#system-message>alert:before {
    position: absolute; top: 30px; right: 100px;
    font-family: FontAwesome;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
    display: inline-block;
    text-decoration: inherit;
    font-size: 72px;
    line-height: 1;
    opacity: .1;
  content: "\f00c"; z-index: 1;}

If you don't want to repeat the background on every alert you can add :first-child selector.
