Peter Bhatia, a multiple Pulitzer Prize-winning editor who has led several large news organizations across the country, was named editor of the Detroit Free Press on Thursday.
Bhatia comes to Detroit from the Cincinnati Enquirer, where he was editor for the past two years and also served as regional editor for the USA TODAY Network's Ohio Region.
Bhatia has a wealth of journalism experience, including serving as the top editor of the Oregonian in Portland in 2010-14. Prior to joining the Enquirer, Bhatia was the director of the Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism at Arizona State's Cronkite School of Journalism.
"It is a tremendous honor to come to the Free Press, to work and live in this remarkable city, and to work with such a talented group of journalists," Bhatia said. "The Free Press tradition is one of great investigative journalism that has time and time again received applause from across the country. I will do all I can to continue that work and to help the Free Press dominate digitally via freep.com and other platforms."
The announcement was well-received in the Free Press newsroom, with several staffers pointing to Bhatia's impressive background and his ability to meld traditional print journalism with an ever-growing digital presence.
"Peter understands that balance — offering the strongest news content in the region in all the ways that people get their news," Free Press columnist Rochelle Riley said Thursday. "He follows in the footsteps of historically great Freep editors such as Robert McGruder, who brought me here, and Neal Shine, who was my confidante and guide and one of the best in America. I couldn't be more thrilled that Peter is coming to Detroit, and I think readers and viewers across the state will soon feel the same way."
Both the Free Press and Enquirer are part of the USA TODAY Network, which encompasses 109 local newsrooms and USA TODAY. While at the Enquirer, Bhatia built on a watchdog reporting tradition through investigations of the Cincinnati parks board, sewer system and sex abuse on college campuses. His newsroom embraced new methods of delivering news and information through technologies such as Facebook Live and other techniques, most notably the smash hit "Accused" podcast, which has more than 6 million plays.

Under his leadership, the newsroom also focused on crucial coverage areas such as addiction, race, higher education and politics. Bhatia also placed a strong emphasis on growing digital readership, especially on mobile devices, and video storytelling.
"Peter is an accomplished editor who will lead the Detroit Free Press with distinction. His experience in newsrooms across the country will serve him well in this competitive news town," said Randy Lovely, vice president of community news for the USA TODAY Network. "I'm confident that readers in Detroit will come to value and appreciate him as he digs in and works with the talented team at the Free Press."
Bhatia, 64, also was executive editor of the Fresno Bee, managing editor of the Sacramento Bee, editor of the York (Pa.) Dispatch and Sunday News, managing editor of the Dallas Times Herald, deputy managing editor of the San Francisco Examiner and a reporter and editor at the Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Wash. He helped lead newsrooms that won nine Pulitzer Prizes, including the six in Portland.
Bhatia is a 1975 graduate of Stanford University with a bachelor's degree in history. The Pullman, Wash., native was inducted into the South Asian Journalists Association Hall of Fame in 2007 and received the Asian American Journalists Association Pioneer in Journalism Award in 2004. Bhatia also has served on more than 20 accrediting teams at journalism schools across the country and internationally.
"I'm very excited to have someone of Peter's caliber join our organization,'' said Brian Priester, president of the Free Press and Michigan.com, which oversees business operations for the Free Press and Detroit News under a joint operating agreement. "He is a proven editor with an outstanding track record of leading teams to create impactful journalism. I know he will make a big difference at the Free Press and in our community."
Bhatia will start in his new role Sept. 19.
"Peter knows good stories when he sees them. He knows how to coach and edit reporters. And he knows how to make the newspaper he's editing connect with the community it's in," said Free Press editorial page editor Stephen Henderson. "I've been an admirer of Peter's work for a long time, and I know his extraordinary experience and outlook put him in a position to lead this newspaper to some very impressive journalism."

Zuckerberg moneymoon soured by investor lawsuits
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (Reuters/Yuriko Nakao) © Reuters
Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg's honeymoon with Priscilla Chan may be overshadowed by the newly-weds' company confronting lawsuits from angry investors.
Shares in the number one social network rose more than 3% in early trade on Wednesday, reversing its two-day losing streak with Facebook shedding 19% of its value.While analysts and investors puzzle their heads over what led to the company's disappointing IPO, regulators are probing whether important information was withheld from some investors before last week's offering.On Friday, Facebook's bankers launched a massive share-buying operation to stop shares from falling below their offer price of $38. Despite this, the company's shares continue to slide, creating huge losses for investors who bought in when the stock started trading. Facebook stock ended the first day of trading at $38 per share, and its IPO reportedly made thousands of the company's employees millionaires.On Monday the company's shares plunged by more than 11% and Facebook's market value had fallen to $85bln by the end of trading on Tuesday, cutting Zuckerberg's stake from $19.1bln to $15.6 bln.On Tuesday Facebook reportedly settled a lawsuit that alleged the site's "Sponsored Stories" section publicized users' images without compensation or the ability to opt out, according to a court document filed on Tuesday. Facebook did not comment. But this does not mark an end to the company's legal problems, as US law firm Glancy Binkow & Goldberg has filed a class action lawsuit against Facebook, Zuckerberg and Morgan Stanley on behalf of investors who suffered losses in the IPO. The complaint alleges that the information provided to potential investors was negligently prepared and failed to disclose material data about Facebook's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Facebook's potential financial implications were only revealed to professional investors and not to the general public. Morgan Stanley, which was the chief underwriter of the flotation, slashed its forecasts, along with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, according to a report from Reuters.Adding to Facebook's headache, the Nasdaq, which listed Facebook shares, was hit with a class action lawsuit last night on behalf of investors whose trades were not properly processed because of a software glitch on Friday.

Dry roast Chana dal for 5 min. In a pan add oil then add onion, green chili, red chili, ginger, garlic and fry until onion gets translucent. Now add tomato and cook for 5 to 8 min/ until tomato gets soft. Let it cool for few min then grind to chutney.
Heat oil for deepfrying. Take Muruku/Chakkali mould with circle plate so that Sagbeam/ Sabudana / Sabbaki can pass through, place rice flour mixture and press directly in the hot oil. Fry for few min, when Muruku/Chakkali turns golden brown then take it out and place it on paper towel to take out the excess oil.
Now Muruku/Chakkali is ready to serve.

If you're a writer, describing places and people in your life can be important to the context of your stories. But writers also come across the predicament of whether or not to use a person's real name.
For Lake Effect contributor Joanne Nelson, she hadn't really thought about asking her family's permission to use their real names for her memoir. But, she came to realize it wasn't something she should've assumed was alright. Nelson shares this in her essay titled, "Who's in a Name?"

The coronavirus pandemic is in some ways an echo of our history. People have compared it to other health crises, like the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic. Others have compared concerns about an economic downturn to what happened during the Great Depression.
For essayist Aleta Chossek, these parallels were born out in letters from her grandfather, a business owner who lived through the Depression:
"We have been having bad times here in America, but we have managed, so far."
"There are 12-13 million good laborers unemployed."

Lake Effect contributor Meagan Schultz's writing often focuses on experiences with motherhood, midlife and aging. Her essay, "Before It's Too Late" asks us: When do we actually remember getting old?
I look in the mirror this morning and see my grandmother. Or at the very least, I see her jowls. Just below my own cheeks. Though if I smile you hardly notice.

Does a person with a disability always want help? Who decides what another person needs or wants? This is an essay about a brief encounter in a hotel breakfast bar that raised some tough questions about who is really helped when help is offered.
As free hotel breakfasts go, this one was exceptional. There was juice, coffee, bagels, eggs, sausage, fruit, yogurt, and, the crown jewel of the long, two-lane breakfast bar, a waffle maker. It was, as cheap travelers like us would say, deluxe in every way.

It was our first anniversary. Paper according to Hallmark. We were in our late 20s, had just bought a fixer upper that had sucked our meagre savings account dry. So, no money. I had come with what I had thought was the perfect gift for my husband. Oh. My. God. He was going to love it!

The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies
Robert Kirk
New York Review of Books, 2007 - 95 pages
Late in the seventeenth century, Robert Kirk, an Episcopalian minister in the Scottish Highlands, set out to collect his parishioners' many striking stories about elves, fairies, fauns, doppelgangers, wraiths, and other beings of, in Kirk's words, "a middle nature betwixt man and angel." For Kirk these stories constituted strong evidence for the reality of a supernatural world, existing parallel to ours, which, he passionately believed demanded exploration as much as the New World across the seas. Kirk defended these views inThe Secret Commonwealth, an essay that was left in manuscript when he died in 1692. It is a rare and fascinating work, an extraordinary amalgam of science, religion, and folklore, suffused with the spirit of active curiosity and bemused wonder that fills Robert Burton'sAnatomy of Melancholyand the works of Sir Thomas Browne.The Secret Commonwealthis not only a remarkable document in the history of ideas but a study
of enchantment that enchants in its own right.
First published in 1815 by Sir Walter Scott, then re-edited in 1893 by Andrew Lang, with a dedication to Robert Louis Stevenson,The Secret Commonwealthhas long been difficult to obtain—available, if at all, only in scholarly editions. This new edition modernizes the spelling and punctuation of Kirk's little book and features a wide-ranging and illuminating introduction by the critic and historian Marina Warner, who brings out the originality of Kirk's contribution and reflects on the ongoing life of fairies in the modern mind.

Legend says he collapsed on "fairy hill" south of the village, where today his spirit is entombed in a tree, known as "The Minister's Pine."

The focus this week is the important question how to best use AI in business. We look AI in healthcare and have some good information sources on the national AI strategies.
I would like to start with a very inspiring video from Roland Berger CEO Charles-Edouard Bouée. In his vision of the not-too distant future, we will take back control of our lives by controlling our data, cutting out middle men such as platforms (Uber, Airbnb, etc) and digital leaders (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) and there will be no need for advertising. This will all be made possible with artificial intelligence (AI); not the version we know today which he believes is mostly a lot of irrelevant data, but AI that will curate and provide information specific to the needs of individuals. It's called portable AI. We can take it anywhere with us: in our homes, on our mobile phones, even in a pin on our lapel.
In the fist 30 minutes of the video he will discuss his vision – highly recommended. It shows a great opportunity for Europe to lead the development of portable AI. You can also read a summary on the Roland Berger Blog.

Sweati reveals triple biomarker monitoring wearable for advanced human performance
By Alex Guest
A collaboration between Sweati and Imperial College London has demonstrated a device that is capable of continuous monitoring of glucose, lactate and hydration.
Although the market for blood glucose monitoring (BGM) is expected to top $11.4 billion by 2023, Sweati is entering a highly competitive space: there are now many non-invasive BGM wearables, both in production and under development. Sweati, however, claims to be the only device that can monitor three biomarkers simultaneously and continuously by measuring ion concentrations in sweat. It will be made of fabric for comfort, as slim as two credit card, and small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
The device is not yet available. According to the company, it is being trialled with a number of high-profile sports teams, as well as with elements of the UK and US military.
James Mayo, Founder and CEO commented: "Imagine a device that will be able to tell you when to fuel, when to hydrate and what pace to run at. That means no more hitting the dreaded "wall" whilst running a marathon. Sweati will make working out enjoyable and efficient."Martyn Boutelle, Professor of Biomedical Sensors Engineering in Imperial's Department of Bioengineering, said: "This work harnesses the latest in microfluidics and chip technology to monitor sweat in real time, providing a window into what's happening in the blood and tissue of the patch wearer without the need for invasive sampling. The information provided will enable performance to be optimised and wellbeing to be safeguarded."

BAKED BLT DIP — This warm, cheesy dip is loaded with crispy bacon, tomatoes and cheddar. Always a hit at parties or on game day!
Now that football season has officially arrived, I figured it was time to share a good tailgating recipe with everyone. And something loaded with cheese and bacon seemed like a good place to start.
You're definitely going to want to make this warm and savory Baked BLT Dip next time you watch the big game.
Seriously, I just love football food! And I think it goes without saying that you can't go wrong with cheese, sour cream and bacon. Especially when you throw in some fresh tomatoes and green onions and bake it until it's warm and bubbly!
Be warned though, once you start eating this dip, it's hard to stop! At least it was hard for me and my family!
You may have noticed there's not actually any lettuce in this BLT dip. Because that would be kind of weird, if you ask me. But the green onions are a great substitute!
I really like cheddar cheese in this recipe, but you could definitely switch it up and use something different.
This dip is best serve hot, straight from the oven, but if you do have leftovers, they reheat pretty well in the microwave. But you're probably not going to have leftovers!
My favorite way to serve this dip is with corn chips or Ruffles, but it's also good with sliced baguettes or bread cubes. I also like to save a bit of the bacon and a handful of the chopped veggies for garnish.
However you serve it, it's sure to be a huge hit with your family and friends. Next time we're invited anywhere to watch football, I know what I'll be bringing!
Be sure to save this Baked BLT Dip recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
This warm, cheesy dip is loaded with crispy bacon, tomatoes and cheddar. Always a hit at parties or on game day!
In a medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese and garlic until smooth. Crumble bacon into mixture and stir.
Add cheddar cheese, green onions, and tomato and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Spread mixture into a shallow dish or pie pan and bake for 20 minutes or until bubbling.
Garnish with additional green onions, tomato, crumbled bacon and shredded lettuce, if desired. Serve warm with chips or sliced baguettes.

Anti-EU AfD Party Gains 12% Of Vote In German Elections
Mark Angelides
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party has made history and won 12.6% of the vote in this year's German election. While Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union won her a fourth term as Chancellor with 33% of the vote, this is the first time in recent history that an openly right-wing party has won major seats in the Bundestag.
AfD's 90 seats mark a significant trend in European politics; more and more people are turning away from the left-leaning "legacy parties" in a rejection of the European Union's globalist outlook. Since the stunning Brexit referendum victory in 2016, European voters have made clear that the policies of uncontrolled mass immigration, supranational courts, and globalism are not wanted.
The Brexit vote won 52%, Marine Le Pen's National front won 34% of the second round Ballotage, and Geert Wilders' PVV gained 20 seats (out of 150) making it the second largest party in Holland. These are all described as "right-wing" movements, and they are gaining ground fast.
As the EU continues to blunder into financial dire straits, uncontrolled immigration from Africa and the Middle East, and seeks to push "ever closer union," voters are starting to look away from the Status Quo.
What is extremely poignant is that AfD won a majority of their new seats in East German constituencies. This follows a pattern of anti-EU sentiment in former Communist areas. These people have lived under the iron fist of Communism, and do not want to go there again. The EU is a Communist structure at heart, with present and former Presidents being Maoists, Communists, and Socialists.
AfD is the first openly right-wing party in more than 60 years to take seats in the German Bundestag, and has made huge strides in breaking up the coalition cartel that has defined German politics for the last decade. And although they are now the third largest party, they will not be sharing in power under a "grand coalition." Chancellor Merkel has made it very clear that there "will be no place" for the AfD in deciding policy or running the government.
Again, the shutting out of power is a common theme in European politics. Beginning with the election campaign period, legacy parties group together to block votes from insurgent parties; in some cases, standing aside to ensure that the vote against these "populist" groups is not split. And when it comes to creating the actual government, deals are made with any other group.
AfD began as an anti-EU party in reaction to Germany being forced to bailout the Greek government. The German state is the largest net contributor to the EU budget, and the lion's share of the bailout money came at the expense of German taxpayers. It was founded by a group of business savvy economists, and unlike many other populist movements in Europe, its membership is made up of a significant number of "high earners," around 39% of members are in the higher income bracket.
The party did not even exist five years ago, and to make such strides in this short amount of time is a major worry for Merkel, the EU, and any European parties that promote an open-door migration policy. AfD's real success began building with their opposition to "Merkel's Madness": the open invitation to all who are fleeing poverty to be classified as refugees. This decision lead to around 1.3 million undocumented migrants and refugees coming in; including Jihadist terrorists who destroy their papers before entry.
According to the BBC:
"AfD would ban foreign funding of mosques in Germany, ban the burka (full-body veil) and the Muslim call to prayer, and put all imams through a state vetting procedure."
And AfD state that:
"Moderate" Muslims who accept integration are "valued members of society," and they argue that multiculturalism does not work (this assertion has now been accepted by several mainstream parties).
At the heart of the European Union project is "ever closer" union. Commission Leader Jean-Claude Juncker has stated that he seeks to build an EU military complete with navy and air force, and French President Emmanuel Macron has set forth his vision for a more integrated Europe with a single EU budget with Ministers in control of it. AfD's victory puts this vision at risk.
Just after celebrating their victory, one of AfD's leaders, Frauke Petry, announced that she was leaving the party and will, instead, stand as an independent member of parliament to represent her Saxony constituency. The resignation shocked not just the media, but also those in her own party.
Petry has been a strong voice in the party pushing for a more mainstream approach in the hopes that they could (as a party) join part of a coalition and as such have a larger share of power; however, the party has been resistant to these calls and insisted on being an "anti-Merkel" movement.

Israeli-developed algorithm predicts gestational diabetes
newstwo360 January 13, 2020 Uncategorized No Comments
A new computer algorithm developed by researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot can predict which women are at a high risk of gestational diabetes in the early stages of pregnancy or even before it has occurred, the institute said in a press release Monday afternoon.The study analyzed data on nearly 600,000 pregnancies available from Israel's largest health insurance provider, Clalit Health Services, the Weizmann Institute of Science said. According to the institute, the algorithm may help prevent gestational diabetes using nutritional and lifestyle changes.Gestational diabetes occurs in three to nine percent of all pregnancies and is characterized by high blood sugar that develops during pregnancy in non-diabetic women. While often disappearing after the pregnancy, it may be dangerous for both the mother and the baby. Typically, gestational diabetes is diagnosed between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy."Our ultimate goal has been to help the health system take measures so as to prevent diabetes from occurring in pregnancy," said Prof. Eran Segal of the Computer Science, Applied Mathematics and Molecular Cell Biology departments.Segal and his colleagues applied a machine learning method to Clalit's records on some 450,000 pregnancies in women who gave birth in the years 2010 to 2017. Gestational diabetes had been diagnosed by glucose tolerance testing in about four percent of them.After analyzing a 2,000-parameter dataset, the algorithm managed to identify nine parameters – including age, BMI, family history and results of glucose tolerance testing from previous pregnancies – that were sufficient to identify those at risk of developing gestational diabetes.The researchers reassured the efficiency of the algorithm's predictions that were based on these parameters by applying them to records on around 140,000 additional pregnancies that were not included in the initial analysis, validating the study's findings.The research was led by graduate students Nitzan Shalom Artzi, Dr. Smadar Shilo and Hagai Rossman from Eran Segal's lab at the Weizmann Institute, who collaborated with Prof. Eran Hadar, Dr. Shiri Barbash-Hazan, Prof. Avi Ben-Haroush and Prof. Arnon Wiznitzer of Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva; and Prof. Ran D. Balicer and Dr. Becca Feldman of Clalit.

The other special relationship: the UAE and the UK
At a reception earlier this year in the British Embassy in Dubai, the newly appointed ambassador, Dominic Jermey, referred to London as the "eighth emirate" due to the close relationship between both countries.
Sultan Al Qassemi
At a reception earlier this year in the British Embassy in Dubai, the newly appointed ambassador, Dominic Jermey, referred to London as the "eighth emirate" due to the close relationship between both countries. Many people aren't aware of just how close this relationship is today.
For instance, the only country in the world in which Britain - or, for that matter, any other country - is represented by two embassies in the same country is the UAE. The dual embassies in Abu Dhabi and Dubai are probably due to the fact that both were fully functioning outposts prior to the UAE's union.
Soon after the UAE gained its independence from a government formed under the current British monarch, it set up one of its first embassies in London to oversee interests in the British Isles as well as the European mainland.
Today, there are approximately 240,000 British citizens living in the UAE, with another one million plus visiting the country every year and up to 40,000 Emiratis visiting Britain annually. In fact, just this month, Dubai beat other cities to become the second busiest destination at London Heathrow airport after New York.
The British Business Group in the UAE today represents over 1,600 businesses based in the country that are encouraged by an annual trade between both countries exceeding Dh45bn, with ambitious plans to increase it to Dh70bn by 2015.
Many of the UAE's leaders were educated in British academies, schools and universities, including the UAE's Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince, as well as the ruler of Sharjah, who established a centre for Gulf studies in Exeter University, his alma mater. Recently, a number of leading British institutions such as the London Business School, Repton School and Cass Business School have set up permanent campuses in the UAE while the number of Emirati students in Britain today is estimated to be around 2,800.
British nationals have for decades contributed to setting up successful UAE ventures, including Emirates Airlines. This company in turn inked a historic deal to sponsor the Arsenal stadium for Dh662 million in 2004, making it the world's largest sponsorship agreement. The countries' sports relations were further elevated with Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed's acquisition of Manchester City FC in August 2008.
Many successful Emiratis that I have written about are proud of their mixed Emirati-British heritage, including Ali Mostafa, the director of City of Life, as well as Sarah Shaw of Abu Dhabi's Executive Council.
The British media has also firmly established a presence in the UAE, with newspapers such as the Financial Times and The Times being printed in the country, while the Telegraph and Skynews maintain permanent correspondents here.
The UAE's investments in Britain have included a stake in Barclays Bank, Travelodge, the famous London Eye, and span various sectors of the economy. Dubai Ports World, meanwhile, is spearheading the development of the Dh5.4bn London Gateway project to create Britain's newest deep-sea container port.
On the cultural front, the British Council in the UAE has played a major role in deepening the special relationship between both countries.
Besides offering English language courses, it has been instrumental in bringing world class art exhibitions to the UAE, including the Lure of the East and the Jameel Prize, which started at the Tate Britain and the Victoria and Albert Museum, respectively, and made their way to the Sharjah Islamic Civilisation Museum. The British Museum also recently hosted Word into Art, an exhibition of modern Middle Eastern calligraphy sponsored by Dubai Holding that was later exhibited at the Dubai International Financial Centre.
I recall many years ago walking down the Dubai Creek and admiring the Dubai Municipality building that was inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II on her first visit to the UAE in February 1979. The Queen has demonstrated throughout her life her dedication to her country. At London's Imperial War Museum, visitors can see images of the then princess visiting bombed sites and interacting with the crowd during the Second World War. This spirit of unrelenting dedication touches the hearts of every Emirati as it reminds them of Sheikh Zayed, the country's founding father who hosted the visiting monarch over three decades ago.
Both Britain and the UAE are progressive monarchical federations that have welcomed immigrants from around the world.
The relationship between the UAE and Britain is one that is manifested everyday and goes far beyond a single element; it is one that is rooted in mutual respect and one extends to issues of global security, culture and education.
Finally, it is a relationship between the global capitals of Abu Dhabi and London that will be reaffirmed during the historic visit of Queen Elizabeth II.

It's hard to believe it's been nearly a decade since I lost interest in photography, but I can remember the exact day it happened. My husband and I had gone to a Christmas market in Glasgow, and I was taking pictures of the various items the vendors were selling. I should mention here that I…

On the Loss of Integrity
I've lost my integrity. It's been a gradual process, a slow chipping away over the last few years, but today I'm feeling the damage. I'm functioning as well as can be expected, but I'm not sure how much longer I can carry on. My moral compass is as strong as ever, reinforced by my determination…
Farewell 2021
My No Resolutions Policy continues, and I'm sad to report there weren't many accomplishments, either. 2021 was a year of Mondays and I'm not sad to see the back of it. The best I can say is that I'm still here. My immediate family is healthy. My business is still alive. And I managed to…

I've come to the conclusion that grief is a state of being rather than an emotion. This is based on the fact that I've always been quite good at controlling my emotions, but for the past couple of months I've been unpredictable and unsteady. I forget important daily tasks. I burst into tears without provocation.…

I won't waste time telling you that the deal the UK has negotiated with the EU is awful. There are plenty of experts about to do that, and if there is one thing I've learned in the 4.5 years since the referendum, it's that no one cares what I think. My fifteen years experience as…

It's been exactly a month since I rang my warehouse manager at 7am to tell her I didn't think we could continue safely working as a team. We took the decision to keep staff at home and advised everyone to stay put. I ran payroll early, paid everyone through the end of the month, and…

When the twitter guy said "Free speech", I remembered how many confusions and misconceptions there are surrounding what is protected and what is not protected by the first amendment. Luckily, the tests implemented by SCOTUS can be easily translated into "yes"/"no" & "multiple choice" form.
Give it a first amendment dillema, and it'll step you through the various tests of scrutiny and balancing that a court might apply in considering the legality of the speech you've made (or want to stop).
What "Prior Restraint", "Absolute Privilege", and the "Brandenburg Test" are.
Make it more programmable. Then add options for all of the cases that we don't know about because we aren't first amendment lawyers.

It might be too early to tell if The Odd Couple is worth watching, but if the premiere is any indication, things aren't looking good for CBS's reboot of the classic property. Stars Perry and Lennon are good together as Oscar and Felix, but the writing is outdated and doesn't take advantage of the modern-day setting. Instead, it relies on old sitcom tricks and recycled jokes to get through the first episode. Here's hoping future installments breathe a little more life into The Odd Couple's now-timeworn premise.
Maybe CBS is trying to play it safe right off the bat.

Species native to south western Australia when dry summers and wet winters are experienced may prove unreliable in tropical and sub tropical areas and areas of wet, humid summers.
Tropical species may be difficult to maintain in cold districts.
Despite this caution many species have proven to be adaptable in seemingly unsuitable climates. For example, the western species M.fulgens, M.nesophila, M.lateritia, M.diosmifolia and M.huegelii are grown very successfully in coastal areas of New South Wales and Queensland while the tropical species M.viridiflora will grow successfully in colder districts if it is protected from frost when young.
Given that melaleucas are often found on moist sites, it should be no surprise to find that they enjoy a reasonable amount of moisture under garden conditions. This does not mean that they require anything like daily watering...once established, they will grow happily with just the occasional watering to help them through dry periods. A sunny position will usually produce the best flowering but plants will tolerate anything except total shade.
Most species respond favourably to pruning, particularly a light annual trim to promote bushy growth. Some will withstand severe pruning if they have outgrown their allocated space, even tolerating being cut back to near ground level. Two species which have been observed growing away vigorously from such treatment are M.decussata and M.nodosa.
Melaleucas are fairly tolerant of fertilisers, unlike some other genera of Australian plants. The use of a slow release fertiliser after flowering will usually be sufficient.

Ingrid Carlqvist (full name Ingrid Kristina Carlquisling Carlqvist, born 1960) is a Swedish Islamophobe and Holocaust denier.[1]
1 Career and activities
Career and activities[edit]
Carlqvist worked for a number of notable media outlets, such as Aftonbladet. She was however forced to resign from different positions for a controversial column on incest, and for attacking anti-racists.
She then started Tryckfrihetssällskapet ("The Press-Freedom Company"), modelled after the Danish Trykkefrihedsselskabet, and which involved Hans Rustad. She also started the Islamophobic publication Dispatch International, because "mainstream media has so deteriorated that it now constitutes a threat to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."[2]
In 2015-2016, she wrote copiously on how Sweden was plagued by no-go zones and undergoing a Great Replacement, for the American right-wing think tank Gatestone Institute. It is likely Carlqvist's continued hammering on the issue in the US — something Per Gudmunson did only domestically[3][4] — influenced Fox News' obsession with Muslims in Sweden,[5] and thereby Donald Trump.[6][7] To their credit, even the National Review Online has been more nuanced about the topic.[8]
Carlqvist subsequently has blogged and podcasted about how Sweden is becoming Eurabia, adding antisemitism into the mix by claiming an international Jewish conspiracy is behind white genocide, orchestrating the movement of Muslims to Sweden. Some of her blogging was as "Ingrid and Conrad," with identitarian Daniel "Conrad" Frändelöv, and more recently as "Ingrid and Maria," together with Maria Celander.
As founder of Det fria Sverige ("Free Sweden"), an ultra-nationalist umbrella group that included members of the Nordic Resistance Movement, she was also influential in establishing the Alternativ för Sverige political party, which, exactly as it sounds, is an unimaginatively named Swedish version of Germany's Alternative für Deutschland.[9][10]
Her repeated "Great Replacement" rhetoric has won her support from Gates of Vienna, FrontPage Magazine, and Red Ice Creations, as well as xenophobic fake news webshites such as Jihad Watch.
In April 2019, she was fined for not having a publisher for her podcast.

I had surgery on February 19 and have a hospital bill (just the hospital, not the surgeon, anesthetist, etc) of about $2200, which I know in the scheme of things is not terrible but it makes my financial situation even more precarious in my newly-divorced, newly-employed, looking-at-more-expensive-surgery-and-treatment-soon state. Can I negotiate this down? What do I say? I could possibly pay it in cash if they would knock it down like 20%. Is it better to talk to them sooner or let it sit for a while? All advice welcome.
I have a last-minute invite to a job interview in the development/aid industry and I'm looking to prepare. If you have been to such an interview before, what questions were you asked?


These are bands and artists that my new friend @Michaelfungphotography from India has photographed and recommended me to listen to. It's been an eventful day. We got up at seven in the morning and went directly to a yoga festival, between 08.00-12.00 we did four classes of yoga in a row! A bit crazy but def. worth it. After a four plated lunch we had a coffe and a waffle with icecream, strawberries, blueberries and bananas. That's how much you can eat after four hours of yoga! Later at our current home we watched the incredibly beautiful movie seven days in Tibet with Brad Pitt. What beautiful messages that movie shares. Impressive. I'm very happy and thankful for the people that show up in my life right now. They inspire me and make me go nuts of exitement to be alive, to be learning and expanding as a human being. They organize events and share their passion and perspective with the world and gain my full respect for being who they are. Thank you for this beautiful day, looking forward to tomorrow.
Tomorrow I want to write about what Michael told me about the indigenous people and all the companies from other countries coming in and destroying their lands. Please check out his insta for inspiration and new insights about our brothers and sisters.
