Taylor Swift covered so much ground in her new Rolling Stone interview that we couldn't resist highlighting the most important parts. The 'Shake It Off' singer talked '1989,' Harry Styles (yes, there will be songs about him!) and even her thoughts on hooking up.
Swifties, check out the highlights below!
1. She's paranoid about her privacy -- but we can totally see why.
"There's someone whose entire job it is to figure out things that I don't want the world to see. They look at your career, they look at what you prioritize, and they try to figure out what would be the most revealing or hurtful," the 'Shake It Off' singer explained. "Like, I don't take my clothes off in pictures or anything – I'm very private about that. So it scares me how valuable it would be to get a video of me changing. It's sad to have to look for cameras in dressing rooms and bathrooms. I don't walk around naked with my windows open, because there's a value on that."
Among the things that the Rolling Stone journalist described in Taylor's NYC apartment: A fish tank filled with vintage baseballs, huge candles, a pool table (which Taylor admitted was covered in cat hair), a sky light, and at least five flavors of sparkling water.
3. …But she accidentally has a lamp emblazoned with the name of a homeopathic version of Viagra.
Turns out that the Latin phrase 'CALADIUM SEGUINUM' is actually a natural treatment for "male impotence," the Rolling Stone writer discovered. Oops.
4. If she were a 'Girls' character, she'd be Shoshanna.
"Shoshanna gets excited about things, she's really girly," Taylor explained. "And when she was in a relationship that was very comfortable, she made the decision to get out and go experience new things on her own. And now she's becoming more sure of herself and taking life head-on, in a way that I can relate to. Even though I've never accidentally smoked crack at a warehouse party and run pantsless through Brooklyn."
5. She's trying to get Selena Gomez to move to New York.
6. She hasn't gone on a date since she dated Harry Styles.
"Like, have not gone on a date," she confirmed. "People are going to feel sorry for me when you write that, but it's true."
Taylor apparently hinted that 'I Wish You Were,' 'All You Had to Do Was Stay, 'Style,' and 'Out of the Woods' are all about the One Direction boybander.
"We should have just called it 'I'm Not Even Sorry,'" she said about 'Style,' which reportedly talks about a guy with "slicked-back hair" -- in addition to the pretty obvious title. 'Out of the Woods' reportedly discusses the time that the two went to the Emergency Room after getting into a snowmobile accident -- which they had managed to keep a secret, until now.
And FYI, Taylor notes that the two are now friends.
8. She doesn't believe in hooking up unless you're in love.
"I just think it's pointless if you're not in love," Taylor said of hooking up. "And I don't have the energy to be in love right now. So, no."
9. The '1989' song 'Bad Blood' is about another artist who tried to sabotage her.
"For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not, she would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, 'Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?'" Taylor said. "She did something so horrible. I was like, 'Oh, we're just straight-up enemies.' And it wasn't even about a guy! It had to do with business. She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I'm surprisingly non-confrontational – you would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now I have to avoid her. It's awkward, and I don't like it." Yikes!
10. She really did give a fan $90 for her birthday.
Remember this story about Taylor randomly giving a fan $90 for her birthday? Well, it's true -- and it went down exactly how the girl's friend said it did. Too cool!

CORON, Palawan - The Philippines and Vietnam would be the first countries to bear the environmental impact of China's reclamation in West Philippine Sea (South China Sea), a national scientist said.
Former environment secretary Angel Alcala said China's construction projects could result in biodiversity loss and affect fish supply in the long term.
He noted that the Philippines and Vietnam - two of China's rival claimants in West Philippine Sea - are the countries nearest the China construction projects.
"The impact will be reduced biodiversity," Alcala said during the United States Embassy Seminar for Regional Media.
Alcala explained that the reclamation would disrupt the distribution of larvae or developed fish eggs.
"The atolls are very important in the West Philippine Sea because they are actually concentrations and in the center of the atolls are the lagoons and the lagoons have the fishes and the larvae of the fish," Alcala said.
He said the larvae are transported to different countries through currents.
"If you completely enclose the lagoon with roads or airplanes, you reduce the probability of larvae from escaping from inside the lagoons," the former environment chief said.
Alcala said the disruption would put a dent on fish supply since the larvae cannot develop into adult fishes.
"The Philippines and Vietnam (will first feel the impact) including Palawan and (other parts of) Luzon," the former environment chief said.
China claims virtually the entire West Philippine Sea while the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have overlapping claims.
To assert its expansive claim, China is embarking on a massive reclamation program in disputed areas including those being claimed by the Philippines.
Chinese construction projects are rapidly progressing in Panganiban (Mischief), Zamora (Subi), Kagitingan (Fiery Cross), Kennan (Chigua), Mabini (Johnson South), Burgos (Gaven) and Calderon (Cuarteron) Reefs.
Alcala said China's activities would eventually disrupt the livelihood of coastal communites. He said the world should "force" China to stop the construction efforts.
The Philippines, through the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), has said China's projects are causing "irreversible and widespread damage to the biodiversity and ecological balance of the West Philippine Sea.
DFA said the reclamation has destroyed 300 acres of coral reef systems and has led to annual economic losses worth $100 million.
Members of the international community, including the industrialized countries who constitute the G7, have opposed the reclamation and have called for rules-based order in the West Philippine Sea.
China, however, has been unfazed by the criticisms and insists that the construction projects are being conducted in its territory.

Qu Xing, China"s ambassador to Belgium, has been appointed deputy director-general of UNESCO, an official at the embassy said on Thursday. Qu becomes another Chinese who has secured a prominent position in an international organization as the country gains a greater global presence.
The appointment was made by Audrey Azoulay, director-general of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, according to the official, who asked not to be named. UNESCO, based in Paris, had not commented by press time.
Qu, a scholar-turned-diplomat, was continuing his role as ambassador, the official said.
Qu was unavailable for comment, and it was unclear when he would be leaving to join UNESCO, the official said.
In a recent interview, Qu said China "is qualified" to provide international organizations with more professionals, especially because the nation is bearing an increasing share of financial responsibility within the organizations as well as participating more actively in working for global peace and development.
"The organizations are seeking more Chinese to work and the Chinese deserve a greater presence there because of China"s growing contribution," Qu said in the interview. It is, however, a challenge to find enough qualified professionals to fill all the vacancies, Qu said.
Using UNESCO as an example, Qu said, "The quota and vacancies for China are there, but it is not easy to find those Chinese who have a very good command of several languages at the same time." Aside from his native Chinese, Qu speaks French and English fluently.
Chinese now working for international organizations include Li Yong, former deputy minister of finance, who has started his second term as director-general of the Vienna-based United Nations Industrial Development Organization last year, and Jin Liqun, president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, a China-initiated 84-member institution created to support regional development.
Justin Yifu Lin, now a professor with Peking University, served as chief economist and senior vice-president of the World Bank, where he served from 2008 to 2012, and Margaret Chan was director-general of the World Health Organization from 2007 to 2017.

Q: Arduino - For Loop with Array not working I have a problem with for loops and an array in Arduino IDE.

*

*test1 does not work

*test2 does work

*test3 does work

How can I get test1 to work?
void test1(){
    for(int i=1; i<5; i++) {
    individualPixels[i]==1;
  }
}
void test2(){
    individualPixels[1]=1;
    individualPixels[2]=1;
    individualPixels[3]=1;
    individualPixels[4]=1;
  }
}
void test3(){
    for(int i=1; i<5; i++) {
    Serial.println(individualPixels[i]); //prints out 0 4 times
  }
}

A: C/C++ uses zero indexed arrays, so your for loops in test1 and test3 should look like this:
for(int i=0; i<4; i++) {
    individualPixels[i]==1;
}

Test2 has an unmatched bracket and the array indexes should start at zero:
void test2(){
    individualPixels[0]=1;
    individualPixels[1]=1;
    individualPixels[2]=1;
    individualPixels[3]=1;
  //} this shouldn't be here
}

A: The for loops start with i = 1 that should be 0 as an element in an array can be accessed with an index from 0 to size-1. An array with 4 elements can be accessed as follows:
array[0] --- first element
array[1] --- second element
array[2] --- third element
array[3] --- fourth element

Apart from that, the first for loop (that doesn't work) used the == operator, which checks if two variables are equal and then returns a boolean as a result. Instead you should use a single = that will set the value.
The second test has an extra } ,which should be removed
I suggest you to start actually learning programming, for example by reading a (e)book, as you will teach yourself bad habits (accessing arrays in a wrong way), which may work, but may not be efficient.

A: You're not actually assigning anything in test1, you're testing
for equality (individualPixels[i]==1 should be individualPixels[i] = 1, note the single equality sign).
Also, as other commenters mentioned, C/C++ uses zero based indexing.

A: Thanks very much to all of you.
I have a large array with 60 indexes and want to set some of them 1 with a for loop. The "==" was the main problem. It's working now like I want it to:
void test1(){
    for(int i=1; i<5; i++) {
    individualPixels[i]=1;
  }
}
void test2(){
    individualPixels[1]=1;
    individualPixels[2]=1;
    individualPixels[3]=1;
    individualPixels[4]=1;
}
void test3(){
    for(int i=1; i<5; i++) {
    Serial.println(individualPixels[i]); //prints out 0 4 times
  }
}

The second edition of our blog series Case Study comes from way out east in the great state of Washington. Laurel Hosmer, Assistant Athletic Director of Revenue and Development, and her development team at Eastern Washington University not only organized an online auction in less than 48 hours(!) they almost doubled their gross revenue from the previous year.
After making the decision to add online bidding to an already profitable annual auction, Laurel set to work searching for the perfect platform to manage some 8,000 invitees. "In previous years our auction has all been very manual," Laurel shares. "We used paper bid sheets and had a table set up at the stadium. And unfortunately we don't have many metrics from previous year's participation because of it."
Eastern Washington University has been running this unique Military Appreciation Auction for five years. Each November, adidas creates unique military inspired football jerseys that are worn by university players then auctioned off at the Homecoming game. This auction is one of two Laurel and her team run annually. Because of the popularity of this auction, Laurel wanted parents, alumni and supporters who were unable to physically be at the game to still be able to participate. "I discovered SchoolAuction.net less than a week before (the auction) and was able to get it up and running within a day. We opened the online auction one day before the Homecoming game. A lot of people were really happy they could participate remotely."
"It was incredibly successful for our first online auction. There is always a learning curve when you implement change but everyone was really happy with the platform. It worked out great for people living far away if their kid was at the college."
During the big game, Laurel and her team directed participants to go online using a previously purchased domain name that was simple to communicate in the stadium, making several PA announcements with the website address. Similar to the 'offline' years prior, there were four volunteers set up at a table to help access the site or answer any questions. And winners could pick up their jerseys if they weren't being worn by a player at the time. In total, there were close to 600 active participants with 112 official bidders grossing over $35,000, a $15K increase from last year!
"Post auction went really well. The ease of creating and sharing reports has made a big difference. Our second annual fundraiser is in the spring and we'll be using an online element too."
Thanks, Laurel, for sharing your experience. We look forward to seeing how your spring auction goes. Check out more photos of the jerseys here.

When I play pool (badly), there are a few things I want/require: dim lighting, so I can ignore the rednecks guzzling Bud Light at the next table; beer, and plenty of it (preferably a Yuengling, please); and a comfortable, well-worn bar, table or other manner of seating to rest my weary bones after a particularly grueling battle with the cue stick.
Here's what I've seen in Korea: lighting that looks like you've entered the sterile, pristine confines of a dentist's office; the offer of coffee or tea (although I'm certain that almost all billiards bars do serve beer); and a few plastic chairs that look like they might shatter into tiny pieces if I attempted to heave my full weight (read: under triple digits) onto them.
But that's not what made me do a double-take. Most pool tables here have no pockets. And there are only four balls. That's why it's called sa-gu (사구). Sa is Korean for "four" and gu is "ball." Pretty simple, huh?
Being epically bad at run-of-the-mill billiards myself, I have yet to try the doubly difficult sa-gu. But the basic rules are this: There are two cue balls, one for each player. Points are earned by hitting both of the other balls with your cue ball. I'm lucky if I can tap one little ball when I shoot the cue, forget trying to hit two in one shot. Fortunately, most pool halls I've seen have both sa-gu and the more familiar pocket billiard tables.
I thought this four-ball phenomenon was unique to Korea, but the ever-enlightening Ask-A-Korean says that this is called "straight carom billiards," and variations of the game are played all over the world. Well I'll be darned.
So while I've yet to find a pool hall with that stale-beer-and-day-old-vomit smell and the greasy, comfortable vibe that I crave, if you're looking for a fun (and super cheap) way to spend a few hours in Korea, just walk out on to any semi-populated street. Look up and to your left; look up and to your right. Odds are you'll see more than a few blazing neon sa-gu signs beckoning.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man will be sentenced to life in prison Monday for the killing of his 7-year-old son, who authorities say was subjected to horrific abuse and was "essentially starved to death" before his remains were found in the family's pig sty.
Michael Jones, a 46-year-old former bail bondsman from Kansas City, Kansas, pleaded guilty in March to first-degree murder in the 2015 death of his son, Adrian Jones. He will be sentenced Monday to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
The boy's stepmother, 31-year-old Heather Jones, pleaded guilty to the same charge in November and is serving her life sentence. She insisted that she felt helpless to protect Adrian and herself from her abusive husband, but investigators said she, too, abused the boy and she received an additional five years and eight months in prison for child abuse.
Adrian died in September or October 2015, but his death wasn't reported to the authorities. His remains were found that November after officers learned the boy was missing while they were responding to a report that Michael Jones had attacked his wife at their home.
When the charges were filed, Wyandotte County's district attorney at the time, Jerry Gorman, said it was one the worst cases investigators had seen. He declined to discuss reports that the child's remains were fed to the pigs, saying only that they were found near them.
Adrian's biological mother lost custody of him and two of his siblings several years ago. Her mother, Judy Conway, said last week that she finally brought herself to look at videos and digital photos from the Jones' home that showed the horrific abuse Adrian suffered in the months before he died. There were more than 30 security cameras set up throughout the home.
Conway, who plans to speak at Monday's hearing, said the Joneses kept Adrian naked in a shower stall and modified it so that he couldn't get out. She said they sometimes strapped her grandson, whom she called "a gorgeous little boy" with "the kindest heart," to an inversion table and that they made him stand in a swimming pool overnight, up to his neck in stagnant water. Conway said the videos and photos show that Heather Jones sometimes beat Adrian with the end of a broom handle and kept alarms on the family's food so that he couldn't take any when he was hungry.
"What they did to my grandson was beyond horrific," she said.
The Kansas Department for Children and Families' chief, Phyllis Gilmore, said in a statement Friday that agency "thoroughly investigated" each reported incident of alleged abuse or neglect involving Adrian, though she did not divulge the number of cases or their context.
Gilmore added that although the family's frequently alternating residency between Kansas and Missouri "greatly disrupted continuity of services and evaluation," Kansas child-welfare officials often shared information about Adrian "when known" with their Missouri counterparts.
Gilmore said her agency last had contact with the family in early 2012.
The department's records involving Adrian remain under court-ordered seal, though Gilmore said they will be released if a pending open-records request is granted.


If Apple's strict app approval process puts you off developing apps, why not start by learning to code for Android? Read this how-to guide.
Google's Android mobile operating system is perfect for coders who want to develop phone applications, without going through the rigmarole of Apple's approval system. This guide will set you up with the right software and tools to effortlessly code your killer app idea.
No matter how good you are at programming, if you can't wrap your head around Android's software development kit (SDK), your apps might as well be written in Shakespeare. So follow these steps and start getting to grips with the process.
The first thing you'll need to begin writing Java applications (the basis of Android apps), is the Java Development Kit (JDK), provided by Oracle at this link.
You've probably picked up Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in one of its myriad forms over the course of your daily Internet doings, which allows you to run applets on your computer. You'd do well to uninstall the version of JRE you have at present in case it clashes with the JDK version you're downloading. Luckily, the installation above includes the latest and greatest JRE version, which will definitely be compatible, saving you the arduous task of re-installing it later.
Download and run the installer, make sure 'Development Tools', 'Source Code' and 'Public JRE' are included in the custom install window as seen below (your view may vary). Click 'Next', read the licence agreement if you've got a lot of time on your hands, let it do its thing and you're good to go.
While most integrated development environment (IDE) applications -- detailed in the next step -- come with their own compiler, it's generally useful to configure your newly installed Java compiler to Command Prompt so you can use it if required.
For Windows, navigate to System via Control Panel and select the advanced settings. From here, select 'Environment Variables' and locate the variable named 'Path'. Add the file path of the 'bin' directory of your new Java install, as per the example below.
Integrated development environment software is used extensively by seasoned coders and newbies alike to develop programs. For the uninitiated, an IDE is an application that aids programmers in writing code by providing a compendious set of tools, such as debuggers, a compiler and more.
While there's a wide range of IDE applications available, for this demonstration we'll be using the free software Eclipse, since Google provides a plug-in for it that integrates the Android SDK. Follow this link and find the correct version for your system.
This part varies substantially, but the version I downloaded came as a zip file which, after extracting, included the file 'eclipse.exe' that ran without having to go through any installation. If your version requires an install, follow the steps with default settings since no specific configuration is needed. On first run, you'll be asked to identify a 'Workbench', where your code and related files will be stored. Anywhere convenient will suffice.
If you want to get more familiar with Eclipse before proceeding, open the Help window and look into the Workbench User Guide. There's also a Java Development User Guide that can give you guidance on the basics of Java if you're unacquainted with the language.
Go to this link and select 'Get the SDK'. On the next page, follow the link to install the Android SDK for your system.
Once the executable file has finished downloading, run the installation. When you get to the window below, make a note of the directory it's being installed to (or change it if you wish).
Click on the button to install all the necessary packages and resources that weren't included in the original install.
As mentioned, Google has provided a specially made Android SDK plugin for Eclipse, which can be added directly from within the IDE itself.
Click 'OK'. Select the newly added repository and tick 'Developer Tools'.
You are now the proud owner of the Android Development Tools plugin.
Though it helps, you don't need to actually own an Android device in order to create apps for them, because Google chucks in an emulator of its mobile OS alongside the SDK. Before you start coding, it's worth setting up an Android Virtual Device (AVD) so that you've got a test platform ready and waiting.
Name: If you're going to test on multiple device configurations, you'll need something descriptive. Otherwise, a generic name will work fine.
Target: This is the version of Android that the emulator will run. In most cases, your only option at present is the latest version of Android that came as part of the SDK install. However, if you want to test on earlier versions (which would be wise, given the diversity of versions still in use), then use the SDK manager to install additional versions.
SD card: Indicating the amount of additional storage the device will use. By default, the virtual device has 194 megabytes of 'internal' storage alongside the SD card, so you can use this control to dictate the approximate storage of the device as a whole.
Skin: You can use this control to install the appearance and configuration of a specific device (e.g. HTC One X) around the display. But for our purposes, the default value is fine.
Hardware: Since there's a massive variety in the hardware on physical devices running Android, you can use this control to add any virtual hardware features you need your app to use.
When complete, the AVD Manager window should now list your newly created device. You can click 'Start' to run this device, though be aware that the first boot can take rather a long time.
Now that you've weighed down your computer with all these applications and plugins, you're ready to get started with the actual coding. But first we need to set up the project files.
You can use the rollover icons next to each field for tips on what each value pertains to. The most important to bear in mind is 'Application Name', which will form the name of the application when installed, and the 'Minimum Required SDK', with which you specify the earliest Android version you want to support your app. If you need a refresher on the multitudinous versions of Android, check out this guide.
Click 'Next' to continue and specify a launcher icon that will represent your app. On the next menu you'll be asked to create an 'Activity' for your app.
An activity is effectively an action or view that the user will interact with, so a logical way to divide up your program is by activity in terms of what windows the user will see and the functionality available on each. So if, for example, you're doing a simple "Hello World" program, you only need one activity, which will be the view showing the text, while all the interface settings are pulled down from the resource files that the SDK creates.
When you've decided on your activities, click 'Finish'. Eclipse will cobble together all the files you'll need for your app, in which you will write code and/or change settings to specify the parameters of your program.
There you have it. Everything's ready for you to start putting together your app. The good chaps at Google have a detailed set of tutorials for getting to grips with developing Android apps (for those with programming experience), on the Android website. Anyone wanting to get started with Java programming first should seek out tutorials such as the ones provided by Oracle.

'Most nights we hear something spooky': Inside Britain's stately homes during lockdown
Staff are keeping busy with repairs, dusting – and ghost hunting
By Lottie Gross, Travel writer 30 January 2021 • 10:55am
Blenheim Palace is making time for restoration work Credit: Blenheim Palace
For a brief moment, I stood entirely alone in the Long Library of Blenheim Palace. I could smell the mustiness of its 10,000-odd books as I craned my neck to see the exquisite stucco plaster on its vast, towering ceilings. Queen Ann, immortalised in marble atop a grand plinth, seemed to look down her nose at me as I wandered by. My footsteps echoed throughout the hall and I noticed my gait had taken on a slightly different cadence. I was no longer just walking, I was promenading.
Being all alone in this grand old room with all those lovely, leather-bound books, made me feel more than a little bit fancy. I felt really rather posh – like a Bridgerton debutant. That was until a pair of young women bowled in, broke the silence and started taking selfies with the disapproving marble monarch. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.
Of course, now, that silence has lasted. I was probably one of the last people to visit the interior of Blenheim Palace in 2020, as the grand stately home was closed again for what feels like lockdown #341 – and the gigantic key that operates its enormous front doors has been kept in its box since before Christmas. Even the parks and gardens are currently devoid of visitors, thanks to the national restrictions. The only people to walk the elegant hallways and grand dining rooms now are the staff that look after the palace while we're all kept away.

Flushing toilets and eerie noises
It must be joyous, having that big old palace all to themselves. I imagine them swanning about the halls – just like I did in October last year – pretending they own the place.
The reality, though, is really quite different – or so I'm told by Kate Ballenger, the palace's House Manager. "It's a very large house and obviously when you've got no lights on it's very dark and it makes lots of strange noises. There's quite a few people [in the team] that won't wander around the building because they get a little spooked."
A post shared by Lottie Gross (@lottiegross)
The job of looking after Blenheim while it's closed is actually far less glamorous than I assumed. Instead of testing out the antique furniture and ringing servants' bells to order hypothetical tea up to the apartments, they're actually focused on doing a deep-clean instead, which means dusting artefacts and moving furniture. To keep the centuries-old plumbing system in good nick, they even have to go round twice a week to flush the 50-odd toilets that visitors would usually be using.
The 'home' of Bridgerton – now deathly quiet
Of course, Blenheim isn't the only palace to have closed its doors this year. Warwick Castle, a medieval fortress with turrets, towers and ancient ramparts, is also empty aside from a few essential staff members.
Ryan, one of the castle's security guards, says it can get pretty freaky. "One evening, I was on a night shift and we were sat in the control room, which is right in the heart of the castle. It was quiet as anything, but then up above us it sounded like someone had jumped and landed on the floor, then run across the hallway. We went up, had a look around and there was nothing there. All the windows were closed and the doors were shut."
Warwick Castle at night: not for the faint hearted Credit: Getty
Most nights, he says, they hear something weird or unsettling, or simply get a chill when walking around the castle. You've got to have a strong head to work at Warwick during lockdown.
At Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, of Brideshead Revisited and, most recently, Bridgerton fame, curator Christopher Ridgway says the extended lockdowns have been an opportunity for him. "In one sense, it's a calamity, not having visitors – Covid has impacted thousands of businesses and we're no exception. But you try to find a silver lining in every cloud and we know it's an opportunity for us to tackle things in more depth than normal."
Conference calls with a 400-year-old tapestry
They've been cleaning, too, but Chris has also unearthed some furniture he'd forgotten they had and some watercolour artworks that had been hidden away, which will now form the basis of the talks he's giving online. "It's rather delightful [being alone here]. You have a one-to-one relationship with the building as you're walking through it. You've got time to look and listen and drink in the surroundings. I've been here 37 years and I never stop seeing things in a fresh light, and now there are fewer distractions without the public, so it's a bit of a luxury."

Dr Hannah Mawdsley, curator at the National Trust's 17th-century Ham House in Richmond, London, feels the same way. She actually lives in the house, so is used to being there without visitors. But thanks to the various lockdowns, there's been a totally different atmosphere. "During the first lockdown, there were so few people around, very few planes in the sky and so little traffic, it felt like it could have been any time over the last 400 years. Especially with the stables nearby, where you can hear horses clip-clopping by. It's been quite a privilege to enjoy that."
At medieval manor house Ightham Mote in Kent, collections team Sam Smith and Amanda-Jane Doran have been enjoying the freedom to roam and the silence that's enabled them to hear more – the birds in the garden, the ducks on the lake, the water trickling in the stream. But the house hasn't enjoyed its break from visitors so much. With tourists comes air flow, and that helps keep pests and humidity at bay. Without the circulation, it's been much harder to manage.
Plus, conservation work they had wanted to embark on this year has been disrupted and instead of bringing in experts to restore some of their most prized pieces, they've had to conduct inspections using Webex. With scaffolding, smartphones and a couple of laptops, they have managed to do assessments on one of their historic textiles. It's an innovation for the National Trust, but also an indication of just how drastically the pandemic is affecting our historic properties.
And it's really rather depressing when even a 400-year-old tapestry can't escape the banality of a video conference call during this crisis.

What I didn't know before my ostomy.
When I first got my ostomy, I felt very alone. I felt self-conscious of the smell and sound, and sometimes I longed for my old body.
When I couldn't take self-loathing anymore, I decided to make friends with it. I reached out. I inquired about support groups in my area and realized there are many people like me. I realized my ostomy is a beautiful thing and has enabled me to do all the things I've been able to accomplish over the years. It is my uniqueness.
I had no idea what an ostomy was before I had one. But I have a confession: I didn't realize exactly what it was until a year later! Coming out of multiple surgeries, I had so many bags and new anatomical surprises to think about that a little pink bulge on my belly seemed to be the least of my problems!
I've learned things in the past 10 years that have shocked, scared and relieved me, such as: You can't actually feel your stoma — no nerve endings! I've had three ostomies and four ileostomies over the years. I didn't realize how different they were. Once I learned about the differences and functions of each, I was better able to take care of them.
2. What my limits were.
When I saw that I'd have to live life with a bag stuck to my side, I assumed I'd be "fragile" for the rest of my life. But believe it or not, there are so many active ostomates out there! Swimming, karate, ballet, yoga — I've done everything I did before my ostomy and more.
3. There are so many strong ostomates.
I was privileged to be the Eastern regional recipient of the Great Comebacksaward and meet five other amazing ostomates doing incredible things. There is a huge, supportive ostomy community. Check out this determined runner, all of these famous heroes who had inflammatory bowel disease, and did you know Great Comebacks was founded by a former NFL linebacker?
4. Ostomates excel at innovation and inventiveness.
5. How amazing my body is.
I have a new respect for my body and the way it can function now.
6. Judgment hurts, but fear hurts more.
Stay informed and know the facts. The more I actually understood how an ostomy worked, the more I realized how wonderful it was. After that, I took it as my responsibility to educate others. Instead of wondering if I was being "judged" by others, I took it as a privilege to inform them.
Take care of your full self: emotional, spiritual, mental and physical. If you're stressed, you might be bloated or feel pain or discomfort. Remember to take deep breaths in difficult times.
8. The people who love you, love you.
If you're just getting comfortable with your ostomy, remember that your support system loves you for who you are. You are more than your ostomy. Reach out when you feel alone and never forget how loved you are.
You are what you eat, so eat whole and nourishing foods. Your ostomy will thank you, and so will you!
10. Life can go on.
Throughout these seven years, I've been strong, determined and willing to do whatever it took to stay alive. I've dealt with tubes, bags, poles, you name it. And if this ostomy is all that I'm left with after everything, then I am truly grateful. More than that, I thank my ostomy for enabling me to live life to the fullest, to my fullest. I call it my Harry Potter thunderbolt scar: a symbol of strength, courage, individuality and life.
There are a few things I didn't know before my ostomy. But what I look forward to most is everything left to learn. Thank you, ostomy, for making the world a wide open door once again.

The Grassroots Movement to Transform Our Broken Disaster Relief System
By Sophie Weiner, Splinter News
t would have been a beautiful autumn day in Oakland, if not for the haze. Standing in a parking lot next to the iconic Lake Merritt, the smoke hung over everything, turning the sky a bluish beige and blurring anything more than a few hundred yards away.
A few volunteers and reporters milled about in the lot. We were there to see a 26-foot truck deliver 50,000 N95 particulate masks from Southern California to the organization Mask Oakland, a collective started by two people to address the toxic smoke in the East Bay that resulted from the fires in Sonoma County last October.
"There were just so many people outside walking through visible haze. It was gnarly, you know? You could taste it sometimes," Mask Oakland co-founder J Redwoods told Splinter on the phone last week, remembering the fallout from the devastating Tubbs Fire last year. Redwoods, who identifies as non-binary, looked around then and saw thousands of homeless people walking around without masks on, breathing the toxic smoke. They went to the store and spent $100 of their own money to buy masks. They began visiting Oakland's innumerable homeless encampments, handing them out to whoever wanted one. By the time the smoke cleared, Redwoods and local organizer Cassandra Williams, who became Mask Oakland's other co-founder, ended up using a few hundred dollars in donations they received on Venmo to buy and distribute 4,000 masks.
The Camp Fire has now surpassed the Tubbs Fire as the most destructive and deadly fire in California's history. It has burned 151,000 acres, destroyed 17,000 buildings, and killed at least 81 people, with hundreds still missing. The recovery process for communities like Paradise, which was almost totally destroyed by the fire, and the neighboring city of Chico, will take years, maybe decades. In the process, the air in Northern California has become the most toxic anywhere in the world. Every day since the fire, the air quality in most of Northern California has been rated "unhealthy" or worse, prompting school closures and cancellations of outdoor events.
The smoke drifting down into the Bay Area from the Camp Fire is particularly dangerous to anyone spending time outdoors. The fire destroyed thousands of homes, letting all kinds of pollutants into the air. The smoke is full of toxic particles known as PM 2.5. These minuscule pollutants go straight through both the body's defenses and through most conventional masks, where they can irritate the lungs.
"What's in the smoke from wildfires is, milligram per milligram, more toxic than tobacco smoke," Matt Kadlec, a toxicologist with the Washington Department of Ecology, told CNN this week.
These particles are why N95 masks are so important. They are one of a few kind of filters that can keep out the tiny toxic particles that have filled the air in the last week. But governments are not providing nearly enough of them for their citizens.
Reliable numbers are hard to find, but cities like San Francisco and Oakland had reportedly given out about 1,500 masks each as of this week. Many locations ran out in minutes. In Sacramento, where the air quality is much worse, the state government had provided about 67,000 free masks as of a few days ago. San Francisco and Oakland have a combined population of about 1.3 million, while Sacramento has a population of around 500,000.
Breathing the hazardous smoke from these fires is bad for everyone, but the dangers are particularly severe for children, the elderly, and people with conditions like asthma.
The air is also especially dangerous for homeless people. Homelessness has skyrocketed over the last several decades in the Bay Area, as the tech boom has made the area one of the most expensive housing markets in the world to live. The crisis has worsened in recent years, with nearly 3,000 people living on the street in the city of Oakland alone, a 25 percent increase from two years ago, while Alameda County is home to more than 5,600 people without regular shelter. There are at least 7,500 people living without shelter in San Francisco.
Age alone makes the homeless population more at risk to the dangers of wildfire smoke. A 2016 study found that 50 percent of homeless adults are over 50, compared to 11 percent 30 years ago. Most of Oakland's homeless live in camps outdoors, where they are exposed to air conditions outside 24/7.
On November 9, when the smoke from the Camp Fire began making its way down to Oakland, Redwoods said they immediately started receiving texts asking if Mask Oakland was responding. They threw up a tweet asking for donations, expecting a few dollars.
The tweet, carried by the trending #CaliforniaFires hashtag, was seen by 100,000 people. Over 12 days, Mask Oakland received over $80,000 in donations through their Venmo account and distributed 40,000 masks. When Northern California hardware stores and construction supplies distributors were sold out, Mask Oakland organized a delivery of 50,000 more masks from Los Angeles, and called on a friend of a friend to drive them up to Oakland. "I feel weird solidarity whenever I see anyone else wearing a mask now," Redwoods said.
Redwoods said that the city of Oakland has reached out to the organization and begun talks about how to collaborate. "We've had some contact from some government offices, it's like the very beginning of those conversations," they said. "It takes a second year for you guys to even start discussing that maybe you should do something? Where was the emergency action plan, why are we all in this cloud of denial?"
When disasters like the Camp Fire strike, as they do with horrifying regularity these days, these are often the stories you hear: Regular people taking on enormous responsibility with no training or experience. From Superstorm Sandy to last year's Hurricane Maria, ad hoc organizations often deliver more essential support to victims than government entities like FEMA or massive, multinational NGOs like Red Cross. While government officials drag their feet, blaming the disasters and their failed relief efforts on everyone but themselves, some activists are developing a model of disaster response that looks more like Mask Oakland than the stumbling federal bureaucracy we've all come to know.
Mutual Aid Disaster Relief (MADR) is a loose, national collective of activists who came together after multiple large scale natural disasters. Organizer Jimmy Dunson described the group to Splinter as "a people powered, decentralized, liberatory disaster relief effort based on the principles of solidarity, mutual aid, and autonomous direct action."
The modern concept of mutual aid was first outlined by Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin in his 1902 book Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution, in which he discussed a natural impulse towards cooperation among animals and humans. MADR's definition of mutual aid hews closely to Kropotkin's original ideas. Dunson defines mutual aid as a "voluntary, participatory, reciprocal exchange among equals. It's not powerful givers of aid on one end and powerless receivers on the other. Instead, we're all in this together we all see our common humanity and shared struggle."
This ideology is the opposite of the disaster capitalism described by Naomi Klein in her book The Shock Doctrine. Instead of taking advantage of traumatized communities for profit, activists involved in MADR believe in using disaster recovery as an opportunity to bring people together for the shared goal of survival.
"We see disasters as different in degree but not in kind from the daily disaster of economic and social inequality and injustice in society," Dunson said. "We address people's needs as they exist after a disaster, but if we are serious about a just recovery after a fire or flood or hurricane or earthquake, that recovery has got to include everybody, not just people who were OK before the storm or disaster."
That's where MADR stepped in, aiming to create a model that would allow local communities affected by disasters to jump right into helping each other after a disaster, without going through a national bureaucracy to figure out what should be done. Dunson said that their goal is "not to supplant or replace spontaneous local mutual aid efforts but to complement them, and to have a national network for them to tap into."
On November 10, the day after the Camp Fire began, Chico, CA-based organizer Miles (who prefers to be identified by his first name) posted calls on social media for a gathering to address the developing situation. He told Splinter that the meeting that night at Blackbird, a Chico anarchist bookstore and cafe, was totally packed.
"We had about 100 people there," Miles said.
As it happens, MADR had traveled through California just weeks before this year's fires broke out, teaching workshops on their model to the very communities that are now in crisis. Because of their training, when the fire broke out, Miles and others knew what to do immediately.
Other local leftist organizations have similarly embraced the methods of mutual aid and direct action. The Chico Democratic Socialists of America isn't a fully recognized national chapter, and has only a handful of regularly active members, but they mobilized immediately around the fires. Like Mask Oakland, they seek to include everyone in their activism, rather than focus only on fire victims who were doing well before the disaster. (I am a member of a different DSA chapter.)
"There's this huge push to collect all these donations, supplies for the people who were evacuated and lost their homes, but we already had a large refugee community in Chico, around 1,500 to 2,000 people that live in public spaces," Erik Apland, a Chico DSA member, told Splinter. "The people who were already homeless, they're still in the same parks where they normally sleep, but [in the aftermath of the fire] it got way colder, and the air quality became horrible."
Now, Chico DSA, aided by DSA chapters in Sacramento, the East Bay and San Francisco, are both addressing immediate needs—in some cases working with groups like North Valley Mutual Aid—and thinking about long-term implications of the fires. This includes addressing California's pre-existing housing crisis with strategies like a proposed rent strike, and organizing against the region's dominant energy utility, PG&E. That last one could be especially important. PG&E's downed line may have caused the fire, and it has been repeatedly protected from accountability by state government; even now, lawmakers are scrambling to bail it out and shield it from any potential liabilities it may incur as a result of the disaster.
The objection that MADR other activist groups have to governmental organizations like FEMA, and international NGOs like the Red Cross, is both practical and ideological. Both organizations have had huge, public failures over the last few years, whether it was Red Cross' corruption in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, or FEMA's famously inept response to Hurricane Katrina. FEMA doesn't seem to have learned much since then—they've also struggled in response to more recent disasters, like last year's Hurricane Maria.
Mutual aid organizers argue that this is nearly always true when it comes to efforts by large organizations to respond to disasters. How could a massive government agency, or international NGO, know the intricacies of a community they've probably never visited?
In their report on the aftermath of Maria, FEMA even mentioned mutual aid as one of the foundations of its strategy for the future. They also discussed the need to simplify FEMA structure to eliminate bureaucracy. One of the report's recommendations for the future was to "work with whole community partners to improve risk management." They acknowledge that when many disasters happen at once, as they did in 2017's hurricane season, it's unrealistic that one big governmental organization will have the means to respond to all of them.
On the NGO side, things are a little bleaker. Every disaster now seems to come with an article about how the Red Cross failed to live up to expectations. One problem is how hard it is to measure how effective these responses are. Bills proposed by Congress to place more oversight on the Red Cross haven't yet made it into law.
"We've seen from Katrina onwards that the official responses [to disasters] are really ineffectual and a lot of times actually harmful," Miles told Splinter. "The idea of this big, bureaucratic, one-size-fits-all authoritative system. People flying in who have no connection to our communities at all telling us what we need and just as quickly leaving. We're trying to create a different model, bottom up, that's run by the people that are impacted the most."
Anarchist mutual aid organizations, and leftist groups like DSA, see disasters as a brief window of opportunity, when communities must come together, and are therefore more receptive to alternative ideas about how they might interact to help each other. For some, that just means going out and talking to people on the ground, encouraging the idea of communities helping themselves, building networks that will hopefully last beyond the fires.
For others, it could mean pressing the government on issues that existed before the disaster, but that are now an even bigger concern. Chico DSA put out a statement days after the fire started outlining their positions on everything from climate change to the California housing crisis. Bay Resistance, one of the organizations working with Mask Oakland, also released a list of demands, including providing free masks to everyone and pushing back against oil companies causing pollution and climate change.
DSA's approach combines using strategies like direct action and mutual aid with pushing for change through electoral means and traditional protest and activism, while organizations like MADR eschew any interaction with conventional hierarchies. But both groups see disaster recovery as a respite from the isolation and disempowerment that often feels inescapable for communities living under capitalism. As climate change creates more frequent and intense disasters, many of these activists believe that mutual aid is the only way out of our worsening political and ecological conditions.
"[A]t the same time that there's all this devastation and loss and suffering, people are able to work outside the dictates of the market and come together to meet each other's needs," Dunson said. "It's almost like a spell has been broken. There are often these walls that divide us, and when disaster hits, those walls crack. Through the cracks, we can see each other."
In the Oakland parking lot, a yellow, 26-foot truck pulled in, driven by a young woman wearing a patched jacket and beanie. Everyone cheered. J and Cassandra pulled open the back and began to unload the 50,000 masks that they would distribute to local organizations and volunteers. For a few minutes, it was unclear who was a journalist and who was an activist—while everyone was wearing a mask, we all looked the same.
Standing on the back of the truck, Redwoods addressed the dozen assembled people. "It's bittersweet," they said. "This is people power, this is what we believe in. But also people are dead, houses are destroyed. We are helping people who have been neglected for so long."
Amid the flurry of activity, a man with a boombox blasting '80s R&B strolled by on the way to a small enclosure of tiny houses built for the homeless behind the imposing Oakland Auditorium.
"Hey, you want a mask?" Redwoods called out. "Yes!" the man, who we learned was named Dexter, replied. Redwoods instructed him on how to use the mask effectively as journalists, back in reporting mode, snapped photos. Redwoods fastened the mask around the man's head.
"Much better!" Dexter said thankfully.
Redwoods gave him 30 more masks to distribute to his neighbors. "We need 'em," Dexter said. "A lot of people are staying inside because they can't breathe. This is Lake Merritt! We want to go out and see the lake and the birds."

Al Turcott's son says letting father's grave slip into river not 'disrespectful' - others not so sure
Al Turcott's eternal resting place of 39 years, on the high banks of the Michipicoten River he loved, and just upstream from Lake Superior, is very close to sliding down the bank, causing concern for some members of the Clement family, who own the property adjoining the gravesite.
Turcott, who died in 1974, was the creator of the Wawa Goose and Fort Friendship. The ashes of his wife, Agnes Turcott, are there, as well. Her husband was not cremated. Agnes was the author of Land of the Big Goose, a History of Wawa and the Michipicoten area.
Following this year's spring break-up, the river has claimed more feet than usual, leaving the Turcott's gravesite very close to going down the bank.
Although there are those who believe the municipality should step in to do something to save the gravesite, Turcott's son, Garth Turcott, who lives in Pincher Creek, Alta., says he and his brother, Gary (now deceased), talked it over when the same threat was looming in 2008.
"We both agreed to let nature take it's course," he said. "I don't think this would take away from his legacy.
"My father loved Michipicoten River and Lake Superior. I don't think you can defeat nature when it goes on a rampage."
He said proof of that is the recent flooding in Alberta.
"There is no sense blaming anyone."
Turcott said he does not believe it would be disrespectful to his parents' memory to let the marker slip down the bank. He added the true tragedy is the partial loss of Clement's land on which the latter has worked so hard.
Mayor Linda Nowicki said she is well aware of the legacy left by Al and Agnes Turcott.
The Municipality of Wawa has no jurisdiction over the national gravesite registered with the Province of Ontario," she added.
The protocol to relocate a gravesite is huge.
"There are five certificates involved," said Wawa funeral director Valerie Fahrer.
The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care would be contacted first.
"APH would work with agencies, groups, families, funeral homes, the municipality and all involved to ensure the process of disinterment be carried out with the professionalism and dignity required," Fahrer said.
High waters of the river changed course this spring, leaving Gilbert Clement having to kayak the flooded road to get home. The water did recede but caused more corroding of the family's land.
Joanie Clement said 13 to 16 feet have gone since 2008, adding she has advocated for relocation of Turcott's grave because, "It's what I feel in my heart."
Also, when she was showing some people around the property, one 18-year-old said, "If it was my grandpa, I'd want him moved."
Clement has received offers of money from people who share her belief.
In the meantime, Ken Martin speaking for the Clement family, said he has spoken with Ministry of Natural Resources and contacted Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Mike Mantha, as well Brookfield Power.
"The province does have a responsibility," he said. "We should care about what happens to the creator of our Wawa Goose, which is known worldwide."
The bronze plaque on the grave was removed and taken to The Regional Tourist Information Centre at the junction of Highways 17 and 101, as it fits with other Turcott memorabilia.
Garth Turcott said he and his family believe the town has honoured the memory and legacy of Alphonse and Agnes Turcott, adding he doesn't consider it, "disrespectful to let nature take its course."

How Hurricane Harvey's cost stacks up against past disasters
By Rebecca Shabad
September 4, 2017 / 6:00 AM / CBS News
Harvey's environmental impact
Harvey's environmental impact 08:46
Hurricane Harvey could potentially be the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history and passing an aid package for the recovery effort will top Congress's agenda when lawmakers return to Washington this week.
Members of Congress will return to Capitol Hill Tuesday after spending a month away in their districts and they face a hefty list of deadlines this month. In addition to dealing with Harvey, Congress must raise the debt ceiling and pass a government funding package by the end of September.
The National Flood Insurance Program, run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), must also be reauthorized by the end of the month. The program was created by a 1968 law and is part of the federal government's effort to limit damage created by floods such as in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 or Superstorm Sandy in 2012.
The White House is requesting that Congress approve nearly $7.9 billion in funding as a downpayment for Harvey, including $7.4 billion for FEMA's disaster relief fund and a $450 million loan for the Small Business Administration's disaster loan program. There is also a provision that could be included in a short-term spending bill with $6.7 billion in disaster relief funding, but the White House and lawmakers are still discussing the matter.
Tips for donating to Harvey relief 04:30
It's unclear how quickly lawmakers will pass the aid package and whether it will be tied to the larger government spending measure and debt limit increase.
Total losses from Harvey could reach $190 billion, according to a prediction by AccuWeather, which would make the storm the most expensive in modern U.S. history.
Here are some of the other costliest natural disasters to ravage the nation in the last two decades:
2012, Superstorm Sandy
Estimates show that Superstorm Sandy, which struck the U.S. in October before the presidential election, caused more than $71 billion in damage. New York and New Jersey took direct hits from the storm and about 150 people in the U.S. died as a result. In response, Congress appropriated roughly $60 billion for federal assistance, which was later cut by sequestration set by a 2011 law. The federal government has wound up spending nearly $54 billion on the relief effort, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which has occasionally tracked federal spending on natural disasters.
2008, Hurricane Ike
Ike, which became a category 2 hurricane, caused damage along the coastline in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas in September 2008. It caused an estimated $29.5 billion in damage, according to a 2011 report prepared by experts at the National Hurricane Center, and CBO says that total federal spending on the relief effort topped more than $12 billion.
2005, Hurricane Wilma
Wilma, a category 3 hurricane, came two months after Hurricane Katrina and hit parts of Florida and the east coast. The storm caused $21 billion in damage and total federal spending on the relief effort topped more than $6 billion.
2005, Hurricane Katrina
Before Harvey, Katrina was viewed as the most destructive, costliest and deadliest hurricane ever to strike the U.S. The storm, which reached category 3 status, destroyed New Orleans and other parts of Louisiana in August 2005, killing at least 1,800 people.
Katrina caused $108 billion in damage, according to FEMA and CBO says that total federal spending on the recovery amounted to more than $110 billion.
1994, Northridge Earthquake
The 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck Los Angeles caused significant damage, totaling $44 billion, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
1992, Hurricane Andrew
In August 1992, Andrew, a massive category 5 hurricane, struck South Florida and Louisiana, causing more than $26 billion in damage. In response, Congress passed an aid package totaling $11 billion, which was signed into law by then-President George H.W. Bush.
