If We Controlled Your Remote… 10/2/11
Posted on October 2, 2011 by Jenny, Megan and Kyle
Last week was a super busy week in television, and my DVR is tired. Unfortunately, it won't be getting much of a break, because this week will be even busier. Let's take a look at what you should be watching tonight, and pace yourself, because this week is going to be a long one!
Last week's premiere of The Amazing Race really took us on a journey. I've yet to pick a favorite team, but I do find the flight attendant couple of Ron and Bill kind of annoying. Also, is it just me, or do they look a lot alike? They look like they're related; I find it disconcerning. I'm also not a huge fan of Ethan and Jenna, for no other reason than they get on my nerves. 🙂 I'm sure by the end of tonight's episode, I'll have people I really dislike and ones I do like.
On tonight's episode, the race continues in Indonesia, where the teams face a double elimination.
To see how the teams survive this leg of the race, tune in to CBS at 8/7c. Learn where to find episodes online of The Amazing Race @ Clicker.

One of the new shows I'm excited to watch with my family is Around the World in 80 Ways, on the History Channel. From HISTORY: "Why take any old car when you can get where you're going by rickshaw or hovercraft? For two real-life adrenaline junkies charged with circumnavigating the globe using every conceivable mode of transportation, it's not the destination that counts, but the journey itself. That's the challenge for "Boston Rob" Mariano (Survivor, The Amazing Race) and Dennis Anderson (creator of the monster truck Gravedigger), hosts of the new show." I recently spoke to Boston Rob about the show. Check out our interview HERE.
On tonight's premiere, "Titicaca or Bust," Dennis and Rob begin the journey in Lake Titicaca, Peru. They face the world's highest zip line, a gnarly descent down a cliff face with only rebar ladders for support, and the Incan trail.
Check it out tonight on Syfy at 10/9c. Learn where to find episodes online of Around the World in 80 Ways @ Clicker.

The ladies are flying high in the sky, and you will be too when you watch Pan Am! Last episode was the maiden voyage of the Clipper Majestic, and all hands were on deck. We learned that Bridget was not just your average stewardess; she secretly works for the government. When she is taken off assignment, she ends up being replaced by Kate, who is now set to lead a double life! Dean is the pilot for the Clipper Majestic, and he is in love with Bridget. He thought there was marriage in their future. Maggie took on the job as the plane's pursuer unexpectedly, and Collette got a rude awakening when the wife of the man she's having an affair with ended up on her flight. These ladies are living the life of luxury and adventure!
Tonight, during a trip to Paris, Laura's mother tries to settle some unfinished business. Meanwhile, Maggie deals with attention from an aggressive passenger, and Dean searches for more information on Bridget.
Tune in at 10/9c to ABC! Learn where to find episodes online of Pan Am @ Clicker.
Tonight is the penultimate episode of the season for Breaking Bad. Last week, Hank got close to discovering the laundry meth lab, and Walt was afraid that Gus will order a hit on his brother-in-law. Meanwhile, Skylar's plan to force Ted into paying back the IRS took a wrong turn. Also, things got worse when Walt discovered Jesse was cooking on his own, and now he feels he is expendable as well. Walt rushed home to gather up his money so his family could escape, only to discover most of it missing. I really love this show. It is so tense and exciting—and the way last week's episode ended was fantastic, giving us an aerial view of a mad Walter White, screaming and panicking in a grave-like crawl space. Some questions for tonight: Is Ted dead? Will Hank try to explore the laundry with deadly consequences? How could Walt or Jesse ever leave Gus' business alive?
In tonight's episode, "End Times," Hank leans on Gomez to explore one final lead, as Walt scrambles to protect his family. Meanwhile, Jesse learns some unsettling news and races to share it with Walt.

I don't subscribe to Showtime anymore, and now, I'm rather sad about it. Homeland starts tonight, and it looks good enough that my husband & I are probably going to end up buying the episodes on iTunes or whatever if they are available. We think it looks really good, and from everything we've read, it is. Here's the info about the show, in case you haven't heard of it. The show is a psychological thriller. When Marine Sgt. Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis, Life), who had been missing in action, gets a hero's welcome upon his return home following eight years in enemy captivity in Iraq, brilliant-but-volatile CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes, My So-Called Life) doesn't buy his story. She thinks Brody has turned, is now working for al-Qaida, and may be connected to a terror plot to be carried out on American soil. She then engages him in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that has America's national security at stake. But Carrie's questionable investigation methods land her in hot water with Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin, Criminal Minds), her longtime mentor in the CIA, who has gone to bat for her more than once but may now be alienated by her current investigation. Morena Baccarin (V, Firefly) plays the role of Jessica Brody, Nick's intrepid and complicated wife.
On tonight's premiere, CIA case officer Carrie Mathison becomes suspicious that war hero Nicholas Brody, a Marine Sergeant rescued after eight years of captivity in Afghanistan, has been turned into a sleeper agent by Al Qaeda.

If you haven't been tuning in to the delicious drama Against the Wall, your Sundays are lacking. This family and police oriented drama is so addicting and makes Sunday nights worth staying home. Abby and Lina have great chemistry together as IA partners and can play well off one another inthe bad cop, even badder cop dynamic. Abby's family is quite large, and they love to mettle in one another's lives. With never a dull moment to spare, you're going to be on the edge of your seat watching weekly when you turn on this breathtaking Lifetime gripping television show.
On tonight's episode, Abby and Lina investigate a fellow Internal Affairs detective, while Brody seeks advice on how best to woo Abby by chatting with her mother.
Don't miss a moment, starting at 10/9c on Lifetime! Learn where to find episodes online of Against the Wall @ Clicker.
I'm so excited for the return of another one of my favorite shows tonight—Dexter! In a way, this is very similar to Breaking Bad. It is a very tense show, where the protagonist is keeping a secret life. He is always in life-threatening situations, dealing with unsavory characters, and the threat of being discovered is always looming. One of the tensest moments last season was seeing Deb practically face-to-face with evil Dexter, and extremely close to discovering her brother's double life. It was also great to finally see Dexter find someone he could confide in about his secret. However, he was once again on his own at the end of the season. I am really looking forward to seeing where Dexter goes from here. Each season, we get an overall arc with a serial killer that Dexter is hunting. Who will be the villain this season? Will anyone discover Dexter's secret? Will Deb ever get lucky in love? How will Dexter deal with being on his own again?
In tonight's episode, "Those Kinds of Things," Dexter Morgan attends his 20th high school reunion and considers his son's legacy. Meanwhile, Deb becomes an unexpected hero.
See the premiere tonight on Showtime at 9/8c. Learn where to find episodes online of Dexter @ Clicker.

I don't think we'll be getting Homeland in Canada yet, but I want to see it.
I still haven't watched Dexter, I want to I've just never had the chance. Also it's harder to get in Canada.
I can't believe after the first episode of The Amazing Race there was no one I found really annoying yet! The first teams I'd like to see go are the old folks and the Survivors (they already have their winnings and fame from that show).
As for Homeland, the first episode is available to watch via streaming on a bunch of web sites. However, it has been edited to blur out nudity and mute out cursing and sex sounds. 🙂 I enjoyed it, but it is a bit of a slow burn, communist spy thriller, using modern-day terrorist groups to replace the soviets.
I don't care how interesting Around the World in 80 Ways sounds, I won't watch anything with "Boston Rob"–can't stand that guy. Wish he would get a real job instead of making a career out of reality TV.
Looking forward to some new Pan Am–it seems like ages since I watched the pilot screener.
I am rooting for Ethan & Jenna… Mainly cause I loved Ethan on Survivor, and he went through cancer between then & now. heh *shrug*
I hope if I get Homeland on iTunes or wherever, it won't blur out the good stuff! LOL
As for Boston Rob… I like him. I've always like him. *shrug* lol And he was a fun guy to interview, really. I could tell he really had enjoyed filming the show and that his first priority is Amber and their family. Sorry. 😉
I love Boston Rob, always have, always will lol
Me, too, Megan. 😉


PRIME LOCATION!! This home needs TLC as it has been standing empty for a very long time! 3 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 x Study area, 2 x living areas, big spacious kitchen and dining room. Outside fish pond with underroof braai area. Staff quarters with 2 x rooms and 2x lock up garages. Please call to arrange a viewing!


Website is loading too slow. When I run tests it scores well, however I feel it's way too slow for an ecommerce site. I've tried optimising images, downloaded W3 Total Cache & deleted unnecessary plugins. & I'm sure it's not the servers as I have recently upgraded to a VPS server with unlimited bandwith, 4GB RAM & 120GB SSD.
I am using the Avada theme.
Your site loaded in less than 4 seconds for me, which is just fine.
Thanks for the help James, however I want it to be under 2 seconds, ideally under 1 second if possible! I've also noticed some subpages can take upto 6/7 seconds to load.
You're still transferring data and images.
Under 2 seconds might be possible if you remove most of the images.
A similar site to mine loads almost immediately and has the same if not more content.
Actually, that one loaded a lot slower for me. You probably have it cached in your browser.
Again, each one has suggestions.

You're an adventure seeker jumping out of planes, diving the great barrier reef, or a fun loving videographer capturing family memories through the powers of 360 degree video. Now once you've captured your footage, you're wondering how to take your video the to next level, add music, trim scenes, to make your video look it's best.
How can you do this? By choosing a video editing software with the right tools and features for 360 video editing.
We can now record the world in 360 degrees, but using a 360 camera can be much more than just a capturing the footage. Here are some tips to help you get started to make your project look it's best.
More and more, savvy video editors are investing in 360 cameras with the aim of capturing impressive footage. Creating that perfect 360 video begins with getting that great footage with your camera, but ends with the right video editing software to bring everything together.
Turn your 360 footage from your camera, into 360 video to be proud of! Correct color, add transitions and trim video and more! To get started - let's check out this great 360 video of one of the 7 wonders of the world - the Grand Canyon. Move around freely and enjoy your surroundings - experience what the video maker is seeing in the moment - that's the beauty of 360 - it's like you're there in the moment with them!
With 360 video you do not have to worry about not capturing the right angle - because it captures almost every angle. You do have to remember that everything around your camera will be in the video, the detail of every room, the camera operator, any equipment or cords. If you are holding it by hand - be prepared that your face will always be in the footage.
Your 360 camera may have come with different types of mounts - if the right one is not there, checkout Amazon to see what 360 camera accessories are available.
Looking to create real estate video to showcase a house? This real estate agent has set up the camera on a tripod in the middle of each room to allow the user to explore the house, room by room. They have then trimmed and edited the video together to allow the user to spend 30 seconds in each room to explore and move around freely. The benefit of 360 video is that the potential house buyer can explore freely and move around the environment as they wish.
There are two types of 360 videos - Monoscopic and Stereoscopic.
Monoscopic is the most common type of 360 video and also is what is commonly supported by 360 video players (such as YouTube and Facebook). These are flat renderings 360 degree renderings of a shot where you can move around the video, but you have no real depth perception (ex. Google street view).
Stereoscopic video is for creating immersive virtual reality environments, introducing 3D objects and depth into the video (ex. objects flying around you or reaching out to touch the object approaching you). Stereoscopic video can be viewed using a VR headset. This format is only used by the pros - is not typical for 360 videos hobbyists ($$$).
Just like a world map - this format flattens the spherical experience into a rectangular format - the above picture if of a straight dock but format flattens it out so you can see both in front and behind you. This is the native format that 360 video is edited in.
This format has your camera in the centre of the image and projects it's views around it, showing a single spherical view, taking objects out of proportion. Although it projects a cool image, this format gets converted for playback and editing.
When your camera has two lenses that each capture 180 degrees, this is what the output of the file often looks like this when opened in a standard video player. This format also gets converted for playback and editing.
If your camera exports a spherical fisheye or dual fisheye footage, some editing softwares require you to convert your footage into equirectangular format before you can edit them. Others, like Pinnacle Studio will work with these and convert them into equirectangular format for editing. If you have a device that captures your footage by stitching multiple cameras together (ex. a device that holds 6 GoPros to capture all 360 degrees), you will still be required to use stitching software to create a 360 file, video editing and stitching software are two very different things.
Video editing software like Pinnacle Studio Ultimate make it easy to edit your 360 videos in an editing environment you may already be familiar with. Your camera does the work to capture the footage from every possible angle, but in a video editing software, you can refine your footage to tell the story you want to show. Add your footage to the timeline and edit! There are a few additional controls specific for 360 editing but if you are just looking to trim or enhance color, the timeline is all you need!
Trim down your hours or video into the highlights to share. See what this videographer does to takes you through their vacation by highlighting various moments for you to experience in 360. How? Combining multiple videos together with transitions and titles, trimming down their footage to show the highlights and let the user experience a taste of each scene.
& can you can do all of this in a software like Pinnacle Studio!
Video editors like Pinnacle Studio Ultimate offer 360 video editing that allow you to take your 360 footage to the next level. Simply add your 360 video to the timeline and trim or enhance the colors in your video as you would to a standard video. By right clicking on your footage in Pinnacle Studio you can access additional 360 controls, like adding 360 responsive titles, or converting fisheye to equirectangular formats.
Edit your video as you want to shows your audience the scenery, action or views that way you saw them as you recorded them. Merge video, trim video, or split videos to tell your story your way. Take your editing even further with the ability to add 360 responsive titles so you can label what your viewer is seeing, guiding them through the action.
You can crop or trim your 360 video on the timeline as you would any standard video. Even add a music track. If adding a title, the above tutorial tells you how to insert your title as a 360 object.
A great video isn't just about images. Without clear audio you lose much of the emotional impact. Music can make a big difference in immersing your audience into your experience. Often time camera pick up white noise such as wind, which can take away from the playback experience. Why not add a soundtrack to your video to set the mood you want share. Be sure to pick a soundtrack to compliment the action on screen.
If audio is an important factor of your video, you may want to consider using an external microphone - although built-in microphones do an okay job, it is hard to separate audio from white noise in an action video.
So you're asking yourself 'why would you want to convert my 360 video to standard video.' There are always instances where you want the viewers to look to the left and not miss the important parts or where a 360 video is feasible, or not how to best showcase your video. As a standard video, you are able to be the director and take your viewer along the visual journey you wanted them to see.
Editor's like Pinnacle Studio allow you to take your 360 video and convert it to regular standard video. With this, you have full control to take your audience through the experience you want to show them. By using your cursor you are able to set the path through your video with panning and field of view controls. With this capability it is easy to guide your audience through your video, sharing the visual journey as you want it to be seen, without the hassle of requiring multiple cameras to capture all of the angles & then edit them together. The video above, shares with you the steps required to convert your video to standard video.
As 360 video grows in popularity we see platforms jumping on board to support this immersive experience. Facebook, Vimeo and YouTube all support 360 video playback, users can play the video and move around the scene. IF they are on a mobile device the user can move phone to look around, or if on a computer, they can use their mouse or arrows to navigate.
Once your video is exported to a mobile device, to have your audience jump into the full experience, consider picking up a VR headset. Quality of the headset can range anywhere from purchasing a cardboard VR viewer for a few dollars to investing in a higher end model. You may want to even consider going the extra mile and picking up a headset that that includes an audio plugin to create that surreal virtual reality environment and take your viewer into the scene.
Playback video quality is often a concern with these players. Be sure to click on the player's settings and max out the resolution (to 4K or HD) to ensure the best playback experience.

The Trump Administration's Backdoor Plan to Erode the Rights of Workers to Act Collectively
Monday, October 2nd, 2017
On October 2, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case that implicates the very concept of collective action. NLRB v. Murphy Oil asks whether it is a violation of workers' rights to force them to enter into arbitration agreements that prohibit collective or class litigation. Such agreements, often entered into as conditions of employment, require workers who want to sue their employers to do so individually in a private arbitration setting, rather than as a class of aggrieved workers who can pool their resources and knowledge. According to a recent study by the Economic Policy Institute, more than 60 million U.S. workers have now lost access to the courts because of such forced arbitration agreements.
Now, the Trump administration is entering the fray, submitting a brief to the Supreme Court in the Murphy Oil case aimed at advancing an anti-worker legal theory poised to erode protections for workers outside of the union context.
Such efforts could have far-reaching implications. In a 1997 paper for Arizona Law review, professor of law emeritus Jack Greenberg argued, "Civil rights and class actions have an historic partnership," with class actions routinely used "to challenge discrimination in employment, education, the use of public facilities and housing, to assert prisoners' rights, and to promote welfare reform, to name just a few areas that conventionally are put in the civil rights category."
More recently, the NAACP went further, arguing in an amicus brief submitted in August 2016 to the Supreme Court that "American democracy depends upon our unwavering commitment to equal opportunity. Federal labor law honors that commitment by guaranteeing employees the right to challenge workplace discrimination through concerted activity, including picketing, striking and group adjudication of workplace rights."
Yet, in recent years, the rights of most Americans to engage in concerted legal has greatly diminished. In a 2015 investigative series on this trend, The New York Times reported that, starting in 1999, a "Wall Street-led coalition of credit card companies and retailers"—with soon-to-be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts Jr. involved—engineered a plan to get rid of class action lawsuits, because such lawsuits allow individuals to pool their power against companies.
Years later, in a pair of cases decided in 2011 and 2013, with John Roberts Jr. as Chief Justice, the Supreme Court narrowly held that companies could include contract provisions that require plaintiffs to go through arbitration instead of court, while waiving their rights to class actions.
A federal judge interviewed in 2015 by the Times explained that the result is that now, "business has a good chance of opting out of the legal system altogether and misbehaving without reproach."
The Times study of thousands of arbitrations—most of which are not publicly available—found that more and more consumer and labor and employment cases are being funneled into arbitration. Between 2010 and 2014, there was a 215 percent rise in arbitrations in labor cases over the previous four years. This represents a privatization of the justice system.
Furthermore, in many instances, the funneling of cases to individual arbitrations rather than class actions pressures workers into foregoing the process altogether. Looking at 2010 to 2014, the Times found that Verizon and Time Warner Cable, which have 140 million subscribers combined, faced only 72 arbitrations. After all, who would go up against an outmatched opponent alone?
It is understandable that workers would bow out, given that such arbitration settings are favorable to the employer. Unlike judges who are assigned cases randomly, arbitrators are chosen by the parties, meaning they are chosen regularly to arbitrate before the same corporations. If arbitrators against the corporations too often, there is a strong likelihood that the arbitrators will not be chosen again and therefore lose business in the future. This creates a financial incentive for arbitrators to side with corporations. The Times series notes that dozens of arbitrators "described how they felt beholden to companies. Beneath every decision, the arbitrators said, was the threat of losing business."
Various attempts have been made to protect individuals from these arbitration provisions, including state laws holding these provisions to be unconscionable, as well as legal arguments claiming that such provisions violate federal anti-trust rules. But these arguments have failed at the Supreme Court. What has remained is the National Labor Relation Board's (NLRB) position that Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protects workers' substantive rights to join together in class actions. Section 7 provides that workers have "the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection."
The NLRB has taken the position that employment class actions constitute "other concerted activities," which are protected under labor law. And workers cannot sign away these rights, in the same way that they cannot sign away the right to form or join a union. The Seventh and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeals agreed with the Board that the employer violated workers' rights by making them sign arbitration agreements with class action waivers, but the Fifth Circuit held otherwise.
This split in the circuits made the issue ripe for Supreme Court review, and the matter was indeed appealed to the Supreme Court in September 2016, and accepted for review by the Supreme Court in January 2017. At the time, President Obama's Solicitor General filed a brief with the Supreme Court supporting the NLRB's position. But Trump's Solicitor General later changed this position in order to side with employers.
In this case, the Trump administration expresses a view of labor law in the Solicitor's brief that completely reorients workers' rights. The brief acknowledges that Section 7 of the NLRA contains what it terms "core" rights, which relate to unionizing and collective bargaining, but pushes aside all other concerted activities as only contained in "residual language" and therefore not deserving of the same level of protections. Such a reading of labor law effectively states that the law's protections only apply to workers' activities as they relate to unions.
However, the NLRB clearly states that "the law we enforce gives employees the right to act together to try to improve their pay and working conditions, with or without a union. If employees are fired, suspended or otherwise penalized for taking part in protected group activity, the [NLRB] will fight to restore what was unlawfully taken away." These rights are far broader than the Trump administration acknowledges in its brief before the Supreme Court, and any limitation of them would greatly diminish the few rights workers have in the workplace.
This week, management-side Republicans gained a majority on the NLRB, and soon a management-side Republican will become the agency's General Counsel. This new conservative Board is likely to shift labor law away from worker protections, as was the case during the George W. Bush years. However, Trump's Solicitor's argument goes much further. It invites the Supreme Court to formally bifurcate and limit workers' rights to act collectively.

Civil Rights and Labor: Two Movements, One Goal
"A community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess."
— A. Philip Randolph
One of our most celebrated labor leaders, A. Philip Randolph, an organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, knew the connection between the labor movement and the civil rights movement was key to a truly inclusive democracy. He stood for access at the ballot box as well as to economic security—ideally through a good job with decent benefits and a union. Today, we find ourselves back in a place where our civil, economic, political and social rights are under constant attack. The violence we see against black youth—the heart-wrenching killing of Trayvon Martin, the homicide of Jordan Davis–the passage of "right to work" laws in states like Michigan, Missouri and Iowa that have deeply racist and divisive roots, and the constant attack on immigrant communities by the current administration affirm we still have work to do.
As trade unionists, labor leaders, parents and civil rights activists, we have dedicated our time, talent and resources to advancing the agenda for people who are simply working for a better life. We believe there has never been a more critical point in our nation's history when it is so crucial for us to reconnect deeply the movement for working people with the movement for civil and human rights. We cannot forget that the March on Washington was about freedom, economic equity and good jobs. The intersection of human rights, civil rights and workers' rights has always been a part of our struggles for independent power both here and abroad. We must continue to uplift those movements in an intersectional way to ensure we are able to win justice at the workplace and the ballot box to make a difference for those we serve.
This summer, one of the oldest and largest civil and human rights organizations, the NAACP, will come to the city of Baltimore for its annual convention. The NAACP has stood as a coalition partner to the labor movement since 1909. There are many organizations we as a movement value and partner with through shared program and the NAACP remains one of those core allies, despite the shifts that happen in the world around us. We have great leadership within both the labor movement and the NAACP. We have seen how powerful it is when leaders like AFT's Lorretta Johnson stand shoulder to shoulder with the Rev. William Barber, leader of the NAACP North Carolina State Conference. We know our journey together must continue as we fight to assure that "the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess."
We must expand our vision by creating solidarity without borders so that working people will be treated with the respect we are due. Thus our history and our very purpose demand that we be in the forefront of the struggle to assure first-class citizenship to all people, of all colors, and all creeds without regard to sex, sexual orientation or gender identity. Our struggles are one; our hopes are one; our dreams are one. The past is not dead, it's not even past.

Q: XFS filesystem over 1 PB in size My business requirements (licensing) require me to create a single XFS filesystem of over 1 PB with potential to grow to 2-3 PB in the future.  This is to use as a backup repository so lots of streaming writes and few random reads.
is there any reason not to do this specifically using XFS? Red Hat's documentation suggests an XFS filesystem should have no trouble growing to 10x it's creation size, so that sounds reasonable.  1 PB is well under the XFS supported maximum.

Twists galore in this story that make it absolutely brilliant, I read this in a couple of days I couldn't stop just wanted to know what was going to happen next. A few red herrings along the way and so many twists and turns you really are not sure what happened.
Characters that are strong, secretive and all appear to have their own agenda that it makes you go round in circles trying to work out who are the good guys and who is the killer or was it an accident.
DI Fawley has his work cut out here trying to piece together how the children got to be on their own in the house when it burnt to the ground, where was the mother and the father who was supposed to be at a conference is not answering his phone and cannot be found.
The set up of this story is different as you have police logs, social media and all the parts that the police find to link all together to try to solve the crime. Why would you want to murder two children? Bone chilling reading that makes you almost feel the heat in this story, another best seller for Cara Hunter.
When will the next best seller be available?
This is May's addition of the Writing Magazine that I got the other day, lots of interesting reading in this one plus you get a free crime supplement with it that is very good. Lisa Cutts does the law questions but also this month there is a piece on her that is very good.
I have read all Lisa's books so if you are looking for a good gritty crime series to get into then this is for you. It would be great if they were made into TV dramas as they have got all the ingredients to make great TV.
If you are writing a crime piece then I would recommend you get this as it is really interesting and gives you lots of tips about things.


At Slate, Jordan Weissmann has taken the position, twice, that Brown should give the money to charity, perhaps to a local food bank. While the symmetry of this is appealing—potato salad for everybody—it seems based on a basic misreading of this mini-phenomenon: that, essentially, the money itself is some kind of ill-gotten gain, an accidental and undeserved windfall that is tainted by its curious origins, and so should simply be given away.
Zack Brown performed a work of art and comedy on Kickstarter, and we're all paying him, voluntarily, after his performance. Period. It's art, comedy, and the internet at its best.
Anyone trying to make him feel guilty, or pressuring him to give away the money, is being unreasonable, cruel, and despicable, trying to ruin something that has brought delight to thousands of people with their own envy and misery.

Villa Maritima with Gated and Heated Pool, Wifi and 2 jacuzzis. Great location!
Before your arrival, you will be sent the directions and key instructions for the villa. The keys are kept in a lockbox at the front door so you will be able to let yourself in when you arrive. The local management will visit you the day after you arrive, to answer any questions that you may have. At that time, they will also let you know when to expect someone to come and change the towels or do a mid stay clean. The pool is cleaned twice per week but the pool cleaner lets himself in the garden gate so you are not disturbed by him at all. We want you to have as much privacy as possible. The telephone number to call the local management is in the directions sheet, and in the villa information book which is in the villa.
Perfect for a wonderful relaxing holiday in a nice area, a 20 minute walk to Playa Blanca which is a very pretty area with nice beaches and many restaurants and shops. All in all as a family of different ages the villa was perfect.
There is parking in the villa gates for one or two cars and also street parking. The islands airport is located in Arrecife. You can either rent a car from the airport, hire a private transfer or take a taxi to the villa. The drive from the airport to the villa is about 20-25 minutes and the villa is very easy to find.


4.8% of prescription drug abusers took the drugs from a friend or relative without asking.
Inpatient hospitalization programs in Utah are a form of drug rehab facility which delivers treatment in a hospital or similar setting where the rehab process can be supervised by medical staff as well as addiction professionals. As is usually the case with benzodiazepine and alcohol withdrawal, it is often vital for the person to be in an inpatient hospitalization program while detoxing because the withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening. Inpatient hospitalization programs are also an option for those in UT. who wish to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, which is typically used in the case of prescription pain reliever and illicit opiate addiction. Most individuals in UT. who receive this treatment method however and don't follow up with further drug rehab have extremely high rates of relapse. In either case, individuals should follow up detox with an in depth recovery program either in inpatient hospitalization or in some other drug treatment center.

Fleetwood Mac: The Dance
Genre: Documentary / Music
Director(s): Bruce Gowers
What is the movie Fleetwood Mac: The Dance about?
If you are a fan of the classic songs like "Rhiannon", "Everywhere", "Dreams", "Don't Stop", and "Landslide", you will like the movie we are about to describe. If these song titles ring some bells, then you could guess that it's all about "Fleetwood Mac: The Dance" a documentary music movie from 1997. At this live MTW concert, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham who said "I think all of us have an inner demon that we struggle with", John McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Christine McVie are performing their well known songs. It was released on a VHS, casette and CD in 1997, and later on DVD as well. The concert was recorded for Fleetwood Mac's special at Warner Brothers studio, "The Dance". Although it mostly contains live hits, "The Dance" features new material as well. The new material was written by each of songwriting members. It is also known that they have not released an album since their Tango In The Night, back in 1987. Locations that were visited during the filming of this documentary were USA, Burbank, California. Mick Fleetwood recreated his famous pose from the cover for "Rummors", for the album cover taken by David LaChapelle. Crew members of Fleetwood Mac are starring as themselves in this documentary produced by Lindsey Buckingham and Elliot Scheiner and directed by Bruce Gowers. Its an almost 80 minutes long rock documentary.

Home › Forums › General discussion › OTL Magazine – News and Discussion › Oh no, not this s*** again!
This topic contains 80 replies, has 20 voices, and was last updated by Roadster Pilot 8 years, 7 months ago.
So I mostly go to 3 or 4 local rallies and I try to make one or both national( RA or MOA). Unfortunatly thats the way it is for me.Lately I've injured myself with a broken foot and years before that a rebiult left knee,then right knee. This has kept me from being very active in just plain everything. The club has always been fun and enjoyable but yes were all getting older and this will slow down club activitiys. I see eventually the two clubs merging for the good of all involved,there's realy no down side.If I would have been around when the two clubs split I know I would have tryed to rattle some cages to keep things together. But I was not there!
+1 Someone on the board please explain this statement on the front cover, do it here!
BMW motorcycles came into my life in 1973 at the age of 19. BMW Clubs came into my life in 1989 when an employee gave me two "magazine subscriptions" for Christmas. After reading the BMW Owners News for a year, I chose to renew. After a year of On the Level, I chose not to renew because it seemed most of the discussion centered on how much the BMW MOA sucked.
I rejoined the RA a few years later after that kinda crap stopped.
Since then, I helped rebuild the RA's web site, and have written an article for the magazine. Of course, volunteered at any of the rallies I attended. The BMW MOA gets some of my time, too.
I belong to both the MOA and RA and find that they compliment each other. I have never felt the least bit threatened by either club. I submit we are all both Owners and Riders – each club has its unique contribution to our community. Seriously, we are going to get worked up over a tag line on the cover of OTL? Really?
Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, the forum might not be buzzing, but I guess I couldn't resist trying to bridge the gulf between the MOA and RA as I find both valuable additions to my riding enjoyment. I visit and post to both forums rarely – for instance today too busy taking my classic car out of the garage for a ride since the weather allowed, moving around scattered car parts all over the garage for the 1969 BMW 2002 I am restoring (a couple of years to go on this project), cleaning several pistols for a match my gun club is doing tomorrow and just now checking this thread at 6:20 p.m. after a long and enjoyable day.
I don't see where anyone said that the "MOA sucked". Must have been way before my time. I don't know anyone who thinks that way, either. I certainly don't. Something happened in the early 70's that split the club in two, and enmity obviously followed. MOA have 40,000 and RA have 4,000. The club was purposely kept smaller and "exclusive" to its detriment, IMO. Things are different now. This is a new era with new leadership. It's all about the ride and the bikes, we're in competition with nobody.
We wish MOA well and hope they feel the same way about the RA.
I was the first one to approach the MOA booth at WSB Miller, hand out to say hello. Email me and I'll discuss it with you if you're interested in the facts.
We have lots of catching up to do at the RA in this new era, and we mean to do just that, without ever bad mouthing anybody, except maybe Harley's treatment of Eric Buell. We're all BMW enthusiasts. OTL has no problem whatever with ON. We even share contributors, happily. Your article part 2 will be featured in the September OTL.
I think this is called marketing and after all one club is named the Owners association and the other Riders association.
Perhaps the MO(owners)A should change its name. In regard to first to publish, if the OTL was first I guess that's that. I don't have any problem with these issues. Didn't the MOA used to maket itself as the largest club, was that a slur directed at the RA? I may be wrong but I seem to remember that slogan being used. I don't have a problem with them marketing themselves as largest.
The RA has changed course to garner more members, the younger set from what I read. The OTL has gone sportbike and I believe this Rider/Owner thing is marketing driven also. Think "AVIS we try harder" or something like that anyway. As to whether or not these changes will accomplish the stated goals in my view remains to be seen. I too have been an on again off again member of the RA and also the MOA. Presently I am a member of this one but think probably not for too long. I understand the former editor of the Owners News has launched a new non club affiliated BMW publication, I would like to give that a look.
I am a member of both clubs, and honestly enjoy both mags. If I had to choose just one I'd be inclined to go with OTL because of how much it has grown and improved in the year I've been getting it, but happily I don't have to choose just one!
Two clubs, two mags, more BMW stuff to read each month or two – great by me!
you cannot look at the cover of the magazine and not see it as a shot at the MOA. It reads exactly the same as the negative hHarley posts found all over the web.


It was announced today at the ongoing convention of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America in Chicago that not two, but three auxiliary bishops will be "elected" by the "Local Synod" of the Archdiocese. Two will be appointed to the Midwestern and New England regions, whilst the only region without an auxiliary, the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, will be passed over so that an auxiliary can be assigned to assist Metropolitan Philip (Saliba) of New York in his pastoral duties.

Q: Getting ClassCastException in Camel route while handling response containing java.util.List I have a Camel route exposed as a CXF web service. This is a bottom up web service and has an operation like so:
List<Book> getBooks();

The CXF endpoint is defined as:
<cxf:cxfEndpoint id="bookService"
                 address="http://localhost:9045/bookservice"
                 serviceClass="org.test.cxfws.service.BookDBService">
</cxf:cxfEndpoint>

The operation queries a list of books and returns it to the caller. The Camel route looks like this:
<camel:camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <route>
        <from uri="cxf:bean:bookService"/>
        <choice>
            <when>
                <simple>${header.operationName} == 'getBooks'</simple>
                <to uri="bean:wsImplBean?method=getBooks"/>
            </when>
            <to uri="log:outboundSoapResponse"/>
         <choice>
     </route>
</camel:camelContext>

After running the route, I am getting the following exception:

org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: org.test.cxfws.service.Book cannot be cast to java.util.List
      at org.apache.cxf.jaxws.interceptors.WrapperClassOutInterceptor.handleMessage(WrapperClassOutInterceptor.java:117)
      at org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain.doIntercept(PhaseInterceptorChain.java:272)
      at org.apache.cxf.interceptor.OutgoingChainInterceptor.handleMessage(OutgoingChainInterceptor.java:77)
      at org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain.doIntercept(PhaseInterceptorChain.java:272)
      ...
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.test.cxfws.service.Book cannot be cast to java.util.List
      at org.test.cxfws.service.GetBooksResponse_WrapperTypeHelper1.createWrapperObject(Unknown Source)
      at org.apache.cxf.jaxws.interceptors.WrapperClassOutInterceptor.handleMessage(WrapperClassOutInterceptor.java:101)

I can see that the getBooks method from the bean wsImpBean is executed and the result being returned at the end of the choice block inside the route:

[              qtp1653072092-14] outboundSoapResponse INFO  Exchange[ExchangePattern: InOut, BodyType: java.util.ArrayList, Body: [org.test.cxfws.service.Book@63f1858b, org.test.cxfws.service.Book@5769bf0, org.test.cxfws.service.Book@2df7ac5d, org.test.cxfws.service.Book@5f55253e, org.test.cxfws.service.Book@4f003a57]]

Can someone help me to understand why the ClassCastException.
Thanks.

A: As camel-cxf use list to hold the response for handling the InOut parameters.  When you set the response result into the message body, you need to wrap the result into a List just like this
List<Book> books ...
List<Object> resultList = new ArrayList<Object>();
resultList.add(books);
exchange.getOut().setBody(resultList);

People Share The Biggest Red Flags That Actually Made Them End A Relationship
Photo by Eddy Billard on Unsplash
People like what they like.
That point can't be argued. If there's something about a person that just sets you on fire, don't ignore it. Chase that feeling because clearly whatever that person is putting out is something important.
That being said, some of these traits, either obvious or delayed, should be considered as "red flags," warning signs, for any future or present relationships you find yourself in.
*The following article contains discussion of suicide/self-harm.
Reddit user, K2TsU, wanted to know what flags to keep an eye out for when they asked:
"What are some red flags that made you leave the relationship?"
Keep secrets is a never a good thing. Unless you're planning a surprise trip to Venice or something for your partner, you should be honest and open with the person you've decided to be intimate with.
Not like these folks.
I'm Not The Problem. You're The Problem.
"She was always checking my phone if I left it laying around. I'd wake up from a nap and she would be looking through my phone. I gave her the passcode because I had nothing to hide. When I finally had enough I asked her to show me her phone and she refused and guarded it like Fort Knox"
PurgatoryMountain
I Feel So Bad About Spending All Your Money
"When we were just starting out we ran into some unexpected financial difficulties. We had to borrow money from my parents to make rent one month. I was vocal about how much I hated doing it, and how badly I wanted to pay them back as soon as possible."
"He took some of the money, bought an expensive bottle of high-quality alcohol and hid it from me."
"He was not working at the time."
Eezez
Perhaps it's not a secret. Perhaps the flag that finally makes you drop the relationships has been there for a long time, except you've only chosen now to do something about it.
Ha! Showed You!
"When instead of apologizing after being caught lying he met another girl on the internet to "show me" how easy it was to get another woman to talk to him if I wouldn't. But he still expected to work things out..."
MeanWorldliness749
Unable To Keep A Smile On In Public
"He ruined every big event. He had an attitude that didn't let you enjoy anything. He would act happy and excited leading up to said event, then just ruin it."
farfaleen
"I just left a relationship for this same reason. No matter what the situation, he always had to focus on the negatives and acted like the whole world was against him all the time. I have severe depression and eventually, after a particularly bad relapse where I was suicidal again, I got therapy. I worked so hard to change my outlook on things, to practice self care, to recognise when my symptoms were getting bad and manage them, and to have someone constantly trying to undo that was just too much."
alpine-ylva
Becoming The New Dr. Doolittle
"They couldn't stop adopting new pets. Like 1 - 2 new animals a week. We lived in a 2 room flat."
WeathermanCan
And then there's these, red flags that under no circumstance could be perceived any way except, "Get out of this relationship."
Which is exactly what these people did.
A Unique Kind Of Honesty
"A friend of mine sat me down one day and told me she'd been smoking pot with him (he was a dealer at the time) and telling him how bad she wanted him, basically begging him for sex. He turned her down every time but admitted he wanted to be with her and didn't think I deserved to be cheated on. He made it clear he was interested, but also that he wouldn't come between us, so it was my decision how things went."
"She denied it but I dumped her shortly afterward and she started dating him maybe a week later. He was kind of an a-- most of the time but I've always appreciated him giving me the heads up instead of just letting her cheat and me be none the wiser."
ErebusTotallus
"Controlling behavior!"
"That I should wear covered clothes so men wouldn't look at me. It was a very hot summer and I already would wear long skirts to my ankles and tops without cleavage."
"One time we were eating at a cafe and some drunk dude who was sitting behind me, started to talk to me, I didn't even turn to him or acknowledge him, just kept eating. My ex started to fight with him, and then took me by my arm to leave. On our walk back home he was screaming at me how this was all my fault. After 3 years that was my breaking point and I left."
El-Pimpie
Undercutting Your Progress
"Constantly accused me of cheating or that I was going to leave her because I was getting serious about my weight loss and health."
"I hope anyone who has gone through this or is going through this gets the strength to do what's best for them and to love their lives free of the abuse/negativity of others."
pineapplewars
Yep. Red Flag. The Biggest Of Red Flags.
"He said to me after having had periods of suicidal thoughts in the past..."
"I decided last night I couldn't kill myself unless I killed you first, so you wouldn't have to live with the guilt."
"That felt like a red flag."
"...To those that asked, yes I left him but as you can imagine it was complicated and took me a while to untangle the bullsh-t. I am now happily married to the guy that helped me get away and basically saved my life."
"I also want to thank those that have shared their own stories of mental health struggles both with a partner and themselves. I have very little advise of any use but I love all the support in the comments."
"For anyone in a similar situation... Trust your gut. No relationship is worth your life. It is better to act and be wrong, then not act, think everything is okay, and be wrong. If anything on this post rang true for you right now, start taking steps to protect yourself today, and reach out if you need help. There are plenty of hands here to help pull you up."
socialmediasanity
Keep your eyes sharp, everyone. Flags are everywhere. You just need to decide if they're red or slightly off color.
If you or someone you know is struggling, you can contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

"Cycling at 12mph equates to 3 mph walking." - Jon Snow on the benefits of cycling.
Richard Porte in Sky (remember them?) jersey as one of Bradley Wiggins' domestiques on the 2012 Tour de France. Chris Froome was another. And now Richard is following in Bradley, Chris & Geraint's tradition by replacing it with the yellow jersey.
Richard holds the lead at the end of Stage 7. Will he hold on?

About Richie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richie_Porte
Ok, so you wanna win the Tour de France. Which bike? Here is defending champion Geraint's steed the Pinarello Dogma F12. Off the shelf that come at a cool twelve grand. Except they include disc braking which Geraint had to have removed ;-)

Just one from Cycling Weekly's entertaining collection:

TV PROGRAMME OF THE WEEK
Last July a taxi-driver drew alongside me near East Croydon station and wound his window down. I was expected an earful. Instead admiring my yellow jersey he shouted "Right on Geraint!"
Which shows the danger of believing in taxi-driver stereotypes. Something the makers of this now infamous TV programme screened last Tuesday have yet to learn. There are stories of how they had to search high and low to find people who really, really hate cyclists. Here are some stories you should read how:

Pakistan, June 1 -- Here we go again. A ticking time bomb in Times Square, New York, that, to the good fortune of all concerned, did not go off. The US Secretary of State issued an apoplectic warning to Pakistan of dire consequences, and the Pakistani leaders, staying true to form, remained cringing and pusillanimous. Our respected foreign minister, whose gaffe for declaring Pakistan as being neutral in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, was largely missed by our yokelish media. He hastily declared that the failed attempt was a response to the American drone attacks in Pakistan. The revenge motive is widely accepted and attributed to terrorist acts by Pakistani leaders but it is a facile suggestion. Revenge has little to do with terrorism.
Jean-Francois Revel, French intellectual and writer, illuminates the issue in his book How Democracies Perish (1983) with remarkable insight. He says, "Terrorism has nothing to do with the indignation and spontaneous insurrection of the masses. Its roots are elsewhere. It is based on psychological conditioning, indoctrination, and military organisation into small, secret and fanaticised groups that have no need whatsoever of support from a general population." The Predator/Reaper attacks, potentially, can radicalise some segments of the FATA population and create a class of dissidents, but the sufferers cannot become lone predators on their own. The organisation, indoctrination and psychological conditioning factors mentioned by Revel are essential ingredients in the terrorist mix. It is highly doubtful that the rubes known to the world as the Taliban are the original source for these ingredients. Our learned cabinet members must reflect on these matters a little more before issuing shallow statements that perpetuate myths.
By way of an example, Revel cites the irrational violence that engulfed Peru in 1980 in the aftermath of electing Fernando Belaunde Terry as their first centrist president after a dozen years of socialist domination. Out of the blue and instantaneously, the country was engulfed by a terrorist campaign "that, given its scale, organisation, equipment and leadership, makes any theory that it was a spontaneous uprising by angry peasant masses implausible, to put it mildly."
As the world descends into the medieval madness of devastating entire communities for the crimes and indiscretions of a few, the question must be raised regarding its legitimacy. This insanity was very much part of the European feudal culture. The Norman lords, who conquered England in 1066 AD and ruled it for over two centuries, meted out severe collective punishments to the Anglos for individual crimes as a method of keeping the locals in line. Normally, the intensity and size of their response defied all sense of justice and fairness. This atavistic European insanity can be avoided if all parties agree to abide by the principle that nations will not be punished for the aggressive acts of individuals, which, in fact, is the modern international law. Soviet leader Khrushchev had it right when it came to individual crime and collective responsibility. In criticising Stalin for his mass deportation of Muslim populations of the Caucasus further east within the Soviet Union in 1943, Khrushchev wisely observed, "Not only no Marxist-Leninist but also no man of common sense can grasp how one can make whole nations responsible, including, women, children, old people, Communists and Komsomols, and expose them to misery and suffering for the hostile acts of individual persons or groups of persons." Caucasian Muslims were deported because their leaders had fraternised and possibly collaborated with the Germans during World War II.
Khrushchev's indictment of Stalin is based on sound moral reasoning and is equally applicable in inter-state relations. The argument that we are going to destroy you because some rogue members of your nation attacked us is nothing but pure sophistry. Collective punishment cannot be advocated for an individual's crimes if the perpetrator is disowned by his or her own community.
The concern arises, of course, that strict compliance to the international (and moral) law could give terrorists a free hand to hatch their murderous plots in one country, carry them out in another and then hide in their home countries where the native governments may not pursue them enthusiastically because the crime was committed outside of the native government's territory.
The solution to this dilemma could be an international police force created and mandated to tackle international crime. While the details of forming such a body are daunting and complex, the effort must be made because, in the absence of avenues that seek justice for the aggrieved nations, international terrorism could become the cause of international madness.
Even though there is little doubt that had the evil plot at Times Square succeeded, there would have been some kind of retribution against Pakistan, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's bluster could be little more than self-interested political posturing. The fact that some other top officials have been on a more conciliatory tack towards Pakistan suggests that the secretary is working on her own political agenda. It seems that she still has her eye on the US presidency and her tough stance on the event is most likely calculated to counter the negative stereotype of women being soft on defence and crime.
Regardless of American office-holder's motivations, Pakistani leaders need to make the case that unless a connection between a criminal and the state is established, Pakistan cannot be held accountable for the crimes of Pakistani individuals. International law and basic moral precepts necessitate that a distinction between state crime and individual crime be maintained. In the absence of such distinction, a state's foreign policy, instead of being a constant mistress in the service of a state, is little more than a fickle jade.

Soil Carbon – Keeping it in the Ground
Posted on Friday, 11 December, 2020 Monday, 11 January, 2021 by Meaghan Smith
Announcement, News
Human activities have released significant quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As a greenhouse gas, the more carbon dioxide emitted, the warmer our planet becomes. Partly mitigating these impacts, plants recover 30% of atmospheric carbon via photosynthesis. Using energy from the Sun, they combine carbon dioxide with water to form sugar and oxygen. When the chemical reaction is reversed, carbon returns to the atmosphere – either by cellular respiration in plants and animals, or the burning of coal, wood, or gasoline. Soil scientist Dr Samantha Grover explains that one way of preventing carbon dioxide from returning to the atmosphere is keeping it sequestered in the ground. In fact, there is two-to-three times more carbon in soil than in the atmosphere.

State of the Climate 2020
Posted on Friday, 11 December, 2020 Wednesday, 13 January, 2021 by Meaghan Smith
Senior Climatologist Dr Lynette Bettio explains that soon we will no longer be considering how we get through a single intense year, such as 2019, but how we can make it through a stretch of years with no respite. The climate has been set on a warming path – the long-lived greenhouse gasses that are in the atmosphere and the extra energy soaked up by oceans have secured the warming trend continuing for the next few decades. So the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO are investing a lot of effort to solve these problems, knowing the sooner we take action, the sooner we will see a divergence from the alarming projections in current climate models and simulations.

Structural Energy Storage – The 2020 Phillip Law Postdoctoral Award
Posted on Wednesday, 11 November, 2020 Wednesday, 13 January, 2021 by Mike Flattley
With electric vehicles predicted to represent 90% of all cars and light commercial vehicles on Australian roads by 2050, structural supercapacitors have the potential to revolutionise our transport by providing 'mass-less' energy storage, storing electrical energy in lightweight structural components of a vehicle's body instead of in heavy, sole-purpose batteries. Dr Nisa Salim and her research team are working with multinational companies and Australian SMEs to demonstrate the exciting potential of these new supercapacitors, leveraging her collaborative relationships with a global academic and industrial network to take this cutting-edge research from the lab to the market place.

Industry 4.0 in the Frame – the Royal Society of Victoria's 2020 Research Medallist
According to Dr Anita Hill, CSIRO's Chief Research Scientist, "There are several impressive factors about Professor Fox. Her ability to communicate, inspire, and advocate for science is evident not only from the ecosystem that she has been able to create and fund but also from her presentations, several of which are available on YouTube as TEDx talks or interviews. She provides audiences of any background a vision of the future and one where Australia is designing and manufacturing the lightweight materials of future mobility (flying cars, hyperloops). She is a role model for STEM and for supporting high tech companies in Australia. She is recognised internationally, and uses her networks to Australia's advantage."

Postcards from a Pandemic
Posted on Tuesday, 13 October, 2020 Wednesday, 13 January, 2021 by Mike Flattley
A multi-disciplinary panel gathered to discuss what they see as inspirational for scientists, governments and communities to take action in response to COVID-19, devastating bushfires, and systemic racism and social unrest. Before the pandemic we were amongst the unbridled fires, lush landscapes were blistering, and communities came together to offer donations and support to rebuild towns that were destroyed. During the pandemic and in lockdown we feel as if we're in a snow dome. Gaps in wealth, age, sex, age and disability became highlighted and people marched forcefully with thunder in response to social injustice. Once we emerge, we hope to have better communication with scientists and vigorously carve out a new equilibrium.
