Instagram Faces Backlash From Users After Announcing New Changes
In Social Media, Social Media News Brief, Social Networking | No comment
Instagram is doing what it can to catch up to others and better compete within the world of social media. There have been some pretty substantial changes with social media sites as a whole over the first quarter of the year so far. Instagram is the next site announcing substantial changes to its website which focuses on distributing small bits of visual content including short videos and pictures.
The main change that is going to be hitting Instagram users after a few weeks or months of testing is a complete overhaul of the way that posts display within the Instagram App. Instead of the chronological order that Instagram has been using since it started, they are now going to change to a smarter listing allowing users to see posts that they may have a greater amount of interest in. This would be similar to the Top News setting that Facebook uses.
Instagram users have been worrying about the change since they heard about it, concerned that Instagram will use their new algorithm to alienate specific accounts and make some posts less visible to users. Many of those worrying about these changes are companies and celebrities that have used Instagram as free advertising. Instagram has been receiving a great deal of backlash from some of these users who seem worried about what this will do to the way their posts are seen. Many of these users have taken to Instagram asking other users to turn on their notifications if they wish to see their posts.
Although some users are concerned that they will lose their ability to advertise for free as they did when Facebook altered its algorithm and asked that people who wanted more visibility paid to sponsor their posts, there is no proof that this will be happening again on Instagram. They claim that the algorithm is only intended to show people the content that they want to see including content that they see from businesses they like. Brands and big name users are still concerned that the new changes may mean they'll eventually be effected after experiencing the same problems in the past.
Twitter Stickers May Be the Next Change to the Twitter Platform
Over the ten years that Twitter has been in business, there have been a wide range of changes that have completely transformed the social media site. The latest feature that Twitter is testing is a stickers feature that will allow customers to add cartoon images over the top of pictures before posting them. This new feature is just one more way that Twitter is turning their social media platform into a site with more visual components.
This newest feature, if released, would follow several other features that Twitter has released in its attempt to make the Twitter world a bit more visual. Previous features have allowed users to add videos to their tweets and even introduced live streaming. The new feature suggests that Twitter is searching for a way to make standard pictures on Twitter into something that is more exciting. It seems all of the recent changes are focused around the idea of creating a new version of Twitter that will attract a greater number of users.
The new stickers feature would introduce a feature previously extended only to celebrities through the secret Twitter Camera app. The feature mirrors ones available on other social media sites such as Facebook which allow customers to add cartoon images over standard pictures. This would allow users to add cute or funny elements to the different pictures that they posted. While the feature is in the early testing stages, it is likely to become a permanent feature to the social media website.
To differentiate this feature from similar ones, Twitter has plans to add a social element. The idea would be to display the way that other users have decorated a popular picture and to suggest pictures for users to decorate. Decorating trending pictures would allow users to share opinions and interact in an entirely new way. Twitter's unique twist on a standard feature could help to make it more competitive with other social media sites.
Twitter Transfers All Users to Their Algorithmic Feed Automatically
When Twitter recently started testing a new way of organizing the way that users see tweets, they received instant backlash from many Twitter users who were not interested in seeing a change. Many of these people were pleased by Twitter's early requirement to opt into the new system. They were dismayed to discover when Twitter began slowly shifting all users into the new way of displaying posts.
Twitter was initially requiring customers to opt in with the new way of organizing posts because they were still in the testing phase of this new system. They were working to build a way of displaying posts that were not in reverse chronological order and instead in order of what a user might find most interesting or more important. The idea was to make Twitter more attractive for users who only came on the site infrequently. They would be able to more easily see what important news they had missed, instead of being informed only of the most recent information.
Twitter isn't the only social media site shifting its formatting from displaying posts chronologically to shifting posts to the most relevant and interesting. In the past, other social media sites have offered different ways of displaying posts. Facebook has had top posts and most recent as options for displaying your news feed for a long time. Instagram has recently announced that they will also be switching.
For those who are annoyed with the new change on Twitter, the good news is that the change is not required. Anyone who wishes to have their feed go back to the chronological display, simply has to change a setting within their account. In most cases, Twitter is notifying users of the switch and giving the option to change their settings right away. This means that those who want the new organization can have it while those who prefer the traditional display can stick with this.
Meerkat Seeks a Place in the Social Media World After Losing the Battle for Live Streaming
After creating the concept of live streaming from a cell phone to a social media network, Meerkat should be at the top of the live stream market. Unfortunately, with Facebook and Twitter recently jumping on the live streaming concept, Meerkat has become less appealing to users. Many people just don't see the point of adding an additional social media network to live stream from.
After being heralded as the next big thing last summer, Meerkat took some serious hits to their competitive edge. Just because they were the first on the scene of live streaming, did not mean that they were able to maintain their edge when it came to competing with other streaming companies. Once Twitter purchased Periscope and turned this into their own live streaming application, Meerkat started to see problems in their own growth. Now with Facebook's newly launched live streaming tool, they're ready to give up on the idea of becoming a leading live streaming network.
The problem that Meerkat is currently experiencing is that their market has been flooded by products that are better and more convenient to customers. Rather than trying to continue to compete with Facebook and Twitter, the company has decided to shift their focus. The company recently announced that they will be changing their focus with the idea of making their social media network more private. They are hinting at the idea of live streaming toward more select groups of people such as friends and family members.
Businesses should pay close attention to the way that Meerkat is changing its focus as it relates to niche selection. Originally, the company was focused on a unique niche with no competition. Now as the market has been flooded to the point where they cannot compete, they have decided to further narrow their niche in an attempt to gain a unique audience. In many cases, narrowing a niche can be just what a business needs to succeed when they find that a larger niche is flooded with challenging competitors.
Apple Launches Apple Support Twitter Account to Field Questions About Products
In Social Media, Social Networking | No comment
Today, Apple joined the number of companies that are using Twitter as a way to field customer questions about products. Many companies have found that it is very useful to use Twitter as a place where questions can be asked and answered since customers seem to see this as much more convenient than having to call or email. Twitter users can ask all of their important questions to companies whose products they purchase to get answers without any hassle.
Of course, Apple hasn't been devoid of any type of customer service account on Twitter prior to this. In the past, it has had some specific accounts that focused on Apple Music and iTunes which offered customer support for these specific Apple products. Their new account is different because it is the first time that Apple has had any kind of general customer service account where customers can ask questions about all types of Apple products.
The main benefit of such an account is of course the way that this improves Apple's image in general. Apple has long portrayed themselves as a company that is willing to provide superior customer service. The new Twitter account helps with this by making it easier for customers to interact directly with the Apple customer service team on an easy to use platform. Customers should see this as marked increase in the level of service and support that Apple provides.
Apple began its Twitter presence with a brief welcome and a handy step by step picture slideshow that showed customers how to turn lists into checklists within the Notes app. The account has also invited customers to come forward with any questions that they might have about a variety of Apple products. The hope is to provide more tips and tutorials to make it so that customers can more easily work with the products they've purchased.
Other businesses should look to the way that Apple is using Twitter as a guide for what they can be doing in their own businesses. This new account shows the versatility of Twitter in the ways that it can be used by a business. Business owners don't just have to use Twitter as a place to talk about their products, they can be like Apple and offer customer service within their Twitter pages.

Inside 'Adam,' the Movie LGBT Activists Want Banned, and the Perils of Trans Storytelling in 2019
LIGHTNING ROD
Sundance Institute
'Adam' director Rhys Ernst opens up to Kevin Fallon about the nuances of new LGBT films, why his shouldn't be boycotted, and the particular struggles of a trans filmmaker in 2019.
Kevin Fallon
Senior Editor, Obsessed
Updated Aug. 13, 2019 3:55PM ET / Published Aug. 13, 2019 4:48AM ET
When director Rhys Ernst and I met to discuss his new film, Adam, earlier this summer, it was several months after its well-received premiere at the Sundance Film Festival but still weeks away from its theatrical release. Ernst was anxious for that reason: "I think it's a hard movie to talk about until you see it."
His film, out Wednesday, is based on Ariel Schrag's controversial 2014 novel in which a straight, cisgender teenage boy named Adam is mistaken for a trans man by a cisgender lesbian in Bushwick as he visits his sister and her LGBTQ+ friends during the summer of 2006. Adam runs with the mistaken identity, entering a relationship with her while pretending to be trans the entire time.
Ernst, who is transmasculine, told me when we met for coffee in New York's Chelsea neighborhood that he thinks his film—which alters significant aspects of the novel that were considered most problematic—is "unusual for this moment."
"It's a tricky time to make a really edgy movie, particularly in queer subject matter right now," he said. "The way we talk about things on social media or the way we pass around headlines, it just doesn't contribute to a larger sense of nuance on tricky subjects like this."
It's almost as if Ernst had already predicted the boycott campaign against Adam that, in the film's week of release, is gaining traction and making headlines. Two separate petitions urging that the film not be released have amassed nearly 7,000 signatures at the time of publishing, with the hashtag #BoycottAdam alight on social media.
The Daily Beast's Obsessed
Everything we can't stop loving, hating, and thinking about this week in pop culture.

One petition alleges that Adam is "transphobic," citing the plot of Schrag's novel and insisting that it "presents an offensive, twisted, and hurtful view on the trans community." The other petition also summarizes the book before alleging that the movie "puts down Lesbian and Trans culture."
In all likelihood, the people who have signed the petitions and used the hashtag—and perhaps even those who started the petitions themselves—have not seen the film, which is not yet in theaters.
Responding to the boycotts in an interview with film writer Oliver Whitney for Vulture, Ernst said, "I really understand and can empathize with why people are apprehensive at the idea of something they perceive [to] be upsetting or harmful or negative towards a vulnerable community like the queer and trans community." He added that there is a "cloud of misinformation" about what is depicted in the film, as the film differs from the book.
(A representative for Ernst advised to use his statement in Vulture as a direct reaction to the boycott for The Daily Beast's piece as well.)
Ernst was first contacted about Adam after wrapping the fourth season of Transparent, on which he served as a producer. Originally, The Miseducation of Cameron Post director Desiree Akhavan was set to helm the adaptation, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.
He had heard of Schrag's novel and was vaguely aware of the controversy surrounding it, but had never read it himself. He assumed that after reading the script, he would be forced to turn the offer down, worrying that trans issues wouldn't be handled well based on the novel's reputation. But he was impressed with the script and, after going back to read the novel, noticed marked differences between the two pieces.
In the screenplay, the character of Adam is a gentler, more curious protagonist with his own, clearer crisis of identity. A particularly contentious scene from the novel, which critics have interpreted as a "corrective rape"—a characterization that Schrag and the filmmakers dispute—no longer exists. And a reworked ending makes the film's central premise of "trans deception" a more palatable catalyst for the exploration of masculinity and identity. Ernst also populates the L Word viewing parties and Bushwick queer bars that Adam frequents with a constellation of joyous, positive LGBTQ characters.
"I saw in the script potential to interpret even further through a trans lens and do something really radical," Ernst said when we met.
"I think that some of the controversy about the book is based on what people think it might be about or maybe what they heard," he said. "If there's any sort of speculation or anxiety about that, I would just ask for people to relax and watch the movie themselves. I think that they're going to feel held, embraced, relieved, and happy about watching this movie."
Whatever opinion one might have on Adam, what the controversy illustrates is the precarious and passionate moment we are undergoing when it comes to the stories about the LGBTQ+ community being told, especially the trans community, who is telling them, and what message those stories send to the broader population.
It's never been a more vital time to be a queer, trans, or gender-nonconforming storyteller. It's also, arguably, a more volatile time than ever, too.
This is not Ernst's first rodeo. In addition to his time on Transparent, itself a lightning rod in the queer and trans community, he's also directed the documentary series This Is Me, and the short films The Thing and She Gone Rogue, all dealing with trans issues or featuring trans characters.
The trans community has a complicated relationship to past films featuring transmasculine characters and narratives of "trans deception"—see: Boys Don't Cry and The Crying Game.
More broadly speaking in the LGBTQ+ community, any film or TV series that purports to reflect the experience of a person on the queer or gender spectrum tends to be at the receiving end of harsh scrutiny. In fact, it is within those communities that the scrutiny can be the most critical and, sometimes, hateful.
"We are tough on each other and I think it's unfortunate and it's overdone," Ernst said. "The sort of policing that happens within our communities has gone way too far. I talked to a lot of queer and trans young people, and a lot of them are afraid of stepping out from the pack or doing anything that could potentially draw any question or ire."
Specifically when it comes to trans filmmaking, "we're so overdue for any kind of trans content that's not terrible that there's this feeling like it needs to represent everybody all at once—and the exact way that will satisfy everybody's overdue need."
"The way we talk about things on social media or the way we pass around headlines, it just doesn't contribute to a larger sense of nuance on tricky subjects like this."
It's impossible, he said, likening the inevitable backlash to "sort of a strait jacket."
Ernst admitted that he can be impatient in his own storytelling to push past introductory 101-level, affirmational moments and characters. Because there are so few entries in the canon of trans filmmaking, each new project can get stuck in the rut of responsibility, feeling the need to have the same starter conversation over and over again, never shading it or taking the experience further.
"I'm a big believer in jumping into the 201 or 301, throwing the audience into the deep end and letting them catch up," he said. "I think that's a better strategy for getting people to lean in and be more curious rather than calling on the basic things that they half-know already."
That's the approach he took with Adam.
Adam marks the rare time Ernst has directed a project that he didn't also write, something he has in common with many—if not most—queer and trans filmmakers who, whether out of desire or, more often, necessity, create their own source material.
Ernst said there seems to be palpable interest in Hollywood at the moment in telling trans stories, but the scripts and projects floating around are, generally speaking, not great. Nearly all of them revisit the same kind of trans coming out story, over and over. He knows because he receives a lot of them.
"When I meet with a producer or a production company, I think there's an expectation that I'm only interested in trans content, which is not true," Ernst said.
His ambitions run the gamut, from horror to more coming-of-age tales, but he's confused as to why he's put in a box when, as a trans person, he considers himself to have a greater passport into understanding the human condition than most creatives. "Gender is everywhere in society. It's not just trans stories."
"The sort of policing that happens within our communities has gone way too far."
It's at this point that we move to the more meta aspects of our conversation. Even when talking about Adam specifically, we have almost exclusively stuck to topics involving trans issues and Ernst's experiences as a trans filmmaker. While the film's subject matter certainly lends itself to this, it's an instinct that would be absent if he was a cisgender or straight filmmaker talking about a controversial film.
Almost every time Ernst's work is written about, his trans identity is either in the headline or the lede of the piece. That's important for visibility and representation. But it can also be admittedly frustrating.
There was a project he was involved in recently where there was pressure from the publicity team to put the fact that he was trans in the first line of his biography. At the time, he found it annoying. Ultimately, he conceded, figuring that it was "better for the world" that it be there. "I feel a sense of responsibility in terms of trans representation and being transparent and open more than I am burdened by it," he said.
But not every cisgender or straight filmmaker is expected to put that identifier before their name. Same, really, for gay filmmakers.
"Even 'female director' or 'black director,' these things sound belittling when you say them out loud," he said. "I don't think anybody wants their identity marker in their title when they want to be known for their work. But we're in such early stages of trans representation that, even though it's basic, it's important."
It's rare for a straight filmmaker to be asked questions that begin with "as a straight man…" yet that's almost exclusively the case when Ernst does interviews. He's fine with it. More, when it comes to a project like Adam—and especially given the precariousness of the subject matter and the reaction to the book—he's glad that his identity is part of the story.
"It's important for me to be clear that, as a trans director, I have these particular goals and ideas when approaching this topic," he said. "If I had been a straight cisgender guy making this movie, it automatically has different context and different perspective. I do think I'm trying to do something with a trans gaze in this movie that's challenging the ways that the cisgender gaze has always functioned in trans movies of the past."

TGC Asks Tim Keller: When Has a Preacher Crossed the Line into Plagiarism in His Sermon?

The Book Tim Keller Says We Can't Do Without
Tim and Kathy Keller Share the Secret of a Great Marriage
Note from Collin Hansen, TGC editorial director: This week we're examining the thorny issue of pulpit plagiarism. We're hearing from pastors, scholars, and researchers to work toward common understanding on this pressing, perennial dilemma. Next we turn to Tim Keller, TGC vice president and senior pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City.
Yes, it does appear to be a problem. For these reasons. Preachers today feel under much more pressure to be spectacular than they used to feel. Christians are much less likely to be loyal to a church of a particular place or a particular theological tradition. What they want is to have a great experience on Sunday, and that means they will travel to get to the most gifted preachers. When you put this pressure together with (a) a busy week in which you haven't felt able to prepare well, and (b) the accessibility of so much sermon material through the internet—the temptation to simply re-preach someone else's sermon is very strong.
Nevertheless, we must be careful not to over-react. I don't think anyone expects oral communication to have the same amount of detailed attribution as we expect in written communication. To cite where you got every allusion or basic idea or general illustration in a sermon would be tedious. A certain amount of leeway must be granted. Also, if you take a basic idea or illustration and "make it your own," I don't think you have to give attribution. Often the preacher you fear you are stealing from got that idea from some Puritan author and re-worked it into more contemporary form. And the Puritan might have gotten it from someone else. In fact, in the act of preaching, we often say something that we know we heard somewhere, but we can't even remember where we got it. Again, I think we need to be charitable to preachers and not charge them with plagiarism for every un-new idea. Brand-new preachers, especially, are going to do a lot of copying of preachers that have influenced them.
However, I think the problem comes in when a minister clearly has not done his own work on the sermon, and lifts almost entire sermons whole cloth from someone else. If he takes some preaching theme word for word from someone else, or if all the headings almost in the same words are taken from someone else's sermon, or if he reproduces an illustration almost phrase by phrase—then he should give attribution. When the basic ideas of your sermon have come from some other brilliant sermon you can early on mention the minister, and say, "Rev X, whose great sermon on this passage has helped me understand it so much . . . ." And that's all you need.
Seldom does this kind of lifting-whole-cloth from someone else happen if you have spent hours studying the text and working out your own outline. The problem comes when you haven't given the text the time, or when you have been too busy to read widely and pray deeply and develop your own ideas.

Dartmouth football suffers first loss in upset by Cornell, 20-17
by Devan Fink | 11/18/19 2:15am
The Big Green suffered its first loss of the season at home against Cornell on Saturday.
by Gracie Goodwin / The Dartmouth
After No. 12 Dartmouth's (8-1, 5-1 Ivy) monumental victory last week versus Princeton University at Yankee Stadium, head coach Buddy Teevens '79 reminded his team that the season was not over, that winning the Ivy League required one more victory. The first opportunity would come against Cornell University (3-6, 2-4 Ivy) at home — a game in which the Big Green would be heavily favored. Teevens, however, was not writing off the Big Red.
"Enjoy the bus ride tonight, and get back to work tomorrow," Teevens said at the time. "Cornell played Princeton tough, and we've seen that on tape. They're a scrappy bunch."
And scrappy they were. The Big Red ran into Hanover and stunned Dartmouth with a 20-17 upset, winning a game against a ranked Ivy League team for the first time since 2006, and accomplishing this feat on the road for the first time since 1950.
"I just think what our record says — there's a saying, 'You are what your record says' — not these kids," Cornell head coach David Archer said after the game. "I'm just really super proud of them and how they performed."
Prior to Saturday's win, Cornell had not beaten Dartmouth since 2008, when the Big Red secured a 37-14 victory at home. Today's win snapped the Big Green's 10-game winning streak against the Big Red.
"Since I've been here, Cornell has always played us tough," cornerback Isiah Swann '20 said. "Always. All their kids, no matter what their record is, they're always a good team on Saturday. As Coach T always says, 'The team that plays the best on Saturday is going to win the game.' It doesn't matter what your record is, or how well you've done during the season or what you've done, Cornell's going to come out and play their hardest. They happened to be the better team this Saturday."
From the very first drive, it was evident that Cornell would be playing tough once again. The Big Red threatened immediately, moving the ball 84 yards downfield in 13 plays, but the offense was forced to settle for a short field goal after Swann broke up a pass in the end zone.
Cornell's opening drive was so lengthy that it seemed likely the Big Red would be going into the first intermission with the lead. Cornell outgained Dartmouth by a wide margin in the first, generating 114 yards of total offense to Dartmouth's 55. The scoreboard, however, displayed something different. As Cornell's third offensive play on their second drive broke down, Big Red quarterback Richie Kenney made a poor read, throwing a pass that almost appeared intended for Swann, who returned the interception 69 yards for a touchdown. It was Swann's fourth career pick six, a new school record. The score put the Big Green up 7-3 at the end of the first.
The defensive battle continued in the second, as the two teams traded punts on the first three drives of the quarter. With just over seven minutes left in the half, cornerback Darren Stanley '21 brought in the Big Green's second interception of the day on an overthrown pass by Kenney. Following the pick, the offense started rolling for the first time all afternoon, moving the ball all the way to the Cornell 22-yard line. Dartmouth's pursuit for points appeared to be in jeopardy after quarterback Derek Kyler '21 was sacked, setting up a crucial fourth-and-14 from the 30.
It didn't matter. The offense more than converted, with Kyler finding wide receiver Hunter Hagdorn '20 for the 30-yard touchdown. It was quite the spark for the offense, which had struggled to move the ball all throughout the half. At the end of the first half, 47 percent of Dartmouth's total passing yards came on that one play alone.
Cornell responded with another short field goal, after driving the ball 65 yards in just 1:46 to make it an eight-point game at the half, with Dartmouth leading 14-6. Then, on their second play from scrimmage to begin the third quarter, the Big Red found paydirt for the first time. A 74-yard touchdown run from running back Harold Coles brought the game within two, and a failed two-point conversion kept the score at 14-12.
The offensive sluggishness subsequently resumed. Six straight punts followed Coles' touchdown, with neither team moving the ball more than 21 yards in any individual drive. The inability to score was due just as much to poor offense as it was to good defense. Both quarterbacks struggled to do much of anything — Kyler had a couple of overthrows on long passes, while Kenney completed just three of his seven attempts in the quarter, averaging just over three yards per attempt. And, after putting together the best drive of the quarter which moved the Big Green inside Cornell's 20 for the first time in the game, Kyler lost a fumble stretching for a first down with just under two and a half minutes left in the third.
"We were just inconsistent," Teevens said. "You hit a big play, and then you'd take a tackle for a loss. You had a ball tipped — normally it would be a safe pass for us, and it was knocked down. You had an errant throw, those things happen. I would say that it was a collection of things. It was just a domino effect, things kept happening that haven't happened to this point. We were not clean in our execution on either side of the football, and it cost us."
In the fourth, a combination of Kyler and freshman quarterback Nick Howard '23 put together an 11-play, 56-yard drive, resulting in an important 34-yard field goal from Connor Davis '22. With the kick, Dartmouth went up 17-12, forcing Cornell's hand on offense. No longer would a field goal allow the Big Red to take the lead, but Kenney responded with a 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Owen Peters on the following drive, and a conversion on the two-point attempt put them up by three with just 5:32 to play.
"We had a corner and a post," Kenney said. "The safety bit a little bit too much on the corner, left the middle of the field open. It was play action, so it tucked the backers down, and Owen Peters made a great catch over the middle."
Kyler then had two different drives to reclaim the Big Green's lead, but as was the theme all afternoon, the offense couldn't score. An interception with just 1:46 left in the game sealed Dartmouth's fate.
"We were playing for rings today," Swann said. "The energy was up. It was a championship game for us. We had opportunities — didn't take advantage of them."
Now, Dartmouth will turn its attention to its final contest of the season: a date with Brown University (2-7, 1-5 Ivy) in Providence next Saturday. Potentially concerning are injuries to three important players: Quarterback Jared Gerbino '20, running back Caylin Parker '20 and defensive lineman Jackson Perry '19 all left Saturday's game due to injury.
Teevens expressed different levels of certainty about whether these three players will return to action. He seemed most certain about Gerbino's status, saying that he will probably play next week.
Dartmouth can still clinch a share of the Ivy League title with a victory, but the Big Green would still need Harvard University (4-5, 2-4 Ivy) to beat Yale University (8-1, 5-1 Ivy) in New Haven in order to win the title outright.

An editorial & lifestyle road trip across Germany with the Toyota C-HR hybrid and 'Re.' magazine, encouraging people to 'Re.Discover' their city. The trip took us through Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Dresden and Munich, meeting loads of bloggers, influencers and local people who shared some of their favourite spots and lesser known gems in their city that were also featured in the magazine. This is just a handful of the images taken along the way.


The contrast between the many pilgrimages of homage by Western leaders, including those of Germany, to Auschwitz and other notorious death camps, and the absence of comparable pilgrimages to Hiroshima and Nagasaki underscores the difference between winning and losing a major war.
This contrast cannot be properly accounted for by insisting on a hierarchy of evils that the Holocaust dominates.
The New York Times in an unsigned editorial on April 12 urged President Obama to make this symbolic visit to Hiroshima, and in their words "to make it count" by doing more than making a ritual appearance.
Recalling accurately that Obama "won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 largely because of his nuclear agenda" the editorial persuasively criticized Obama for failing to follow through on his Prague vision of working toward a world free of nuclear weapons.
The Times leaves readers with the widely shared false impression that such measures can be considered incremental steps that will lead the world over time to a nuclear-free world.
Such a view is unconvincing, and diversionary.
In opposition, I believe these moves serve to stabilize the nuclear status quo have a negative effect on disarmament prospects.
By making existing realities somewhat less prone to accidents and irresponsibly provocative weapons innovations, the posture of living with nuclear weapons gains credibility and the arguments for nuclear disarmament are weakened even to the extent of being irrelevant.
Instead, what such measures do, and have been doing for decades, is to reinforce nuclear complacency by making nuclear disarmament either seem unnecessary or utopian, and to some extent even undesirably destabilizing.
In other words, contrary to conventional wisdom, moving down the arms control path is a sure way to make certain that disarmament will never occur!
As mentioned, many arms control moves are inherently worthwhile. It is only natural to favor initiatives that cancel the development of provocative weapons systems, disallow weapons testing, and cut costs.
Without such measures there would occur a dangerous erosion of the de facto taboo that has prevented (so far) any use of nuclear weaponry since 1945.
The point can be express in more folksy language: we have been acting for decades as if the horse of disarmament is being pulled by the cart of arms control.
In fact, it is the horse of disarmament that should be pulling the cart of arms control, which would make arms control measures welcome as place holders while the primary quest for nuclear disarmament was being toward implementation.
He never clarified why such a goal is not attainable within the term of his presidency, or at least its explicit pursuit.
In the 1996 Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons, the judges unanimously concluded that there was a legal responsibility to seek nuclear disarmament with due diligence.
The Prague speech while lauding the NPT never affirmed the existence of a legal responsibility to pursue nuclear disarmament.
In this respect an official visit to Hiroshima offers Obama a golden opportunity to reinvigorate his vision of a world without nuclear weapons by bringing it down to earth.
By acknowledging the legal obligation, as embedded in Article VI of the Nonproliferation Treaty, as reinforcing the moral responsibility, there arises a clear imperative to move toward implementation.
There is no excuse for delay or need for preconditions.
The United States Government could at this time convene a multinational commission to plan a global conference on nuclear disarmament, somewhat resembling the Paris conference that recently produced the much heralded climate change agreement.
The goal of the nuclear disarmament conference could be the vetting of proposals for a nuclear disarmament process with the view toward establishing a three year deadline for the development of an agreed treaty text whose preparation was entrusted to a high level working group operating under the auspices of the United Nations, with a mandate to report to the Secretary General.
After that the states of the world could gather to negotiate an agreed treaty text that would set forth a disarming process and its monitoring and compliance procedures.
The United States, along with other nuclear weapons states, opposed in the 1990s recourse to the ICJ by the General Assembly to seek a legal interpretation on issues of legality, and then disregarded the results of its legal findings.
It would a great contribution to a more sustainable and humane world order if President Obama were to take the occasion of his historic visit to Hiroshima to call respectful attention to this ICJ Advisory Opinion and go on to accept the attendant legal responsibility on behalf of the United States.
This could be declared to be a partial fulfillment of the moral responsibility that was accepted at Prague.
It could even presented as the completion of the vision of Prague, and would be consistent with Obama's frequent appeals to the governments of the world to show respect for international law, and his insistence that during his presidency U.S. foreign policy was so configured.
Above all, there is every reason for all governments to seek nuclear disarmament without further delay.
There now exists no geopolitical climate of intense rivalry, and the common endeavor of freeing the world from the dangers posed by nuclear weapons would work against the current hawkish drift in the U.S. and parts of Europe toward a second cold war and overcome the despair that now has for so long paralyzed efforts to protect the human interest.
Obama has this rare opportunity to choose the road not often traveled upon, and there is no better place to start such a voyage than at Hiroshima.
We in civil society would then with conviction promote his nuclear legacy as 'From Prague to Hiroshima,' and feel comfortable that this president has finally earned the honor of the Nobel Peace Prize prematurely bestowed.

Mytee Products sells drip diverter tarps for a variety of uses. A drip diverter tarp is an efficient and cost-effective way to temporarily manage minor water leaking from roofs, water pipes, air conditioning units, etc. If you are in need of a drip diverter tarp, we invite you to check out our inventory.
Please note that drip diverter tarps are designed for a very specific purpose. Though they can be used for other purposes, we recommend using them only for diverting leaks in interior spaces where water could pose a danger to equipment or people passing through.
First and foremost, a drip diverter tarp is only a temporary solution to your problem. The fact that there is water leaking in needs to be addressed at some point. If you are talking a leaking roof, ignoring the leak will only make it worse. The same thing is true for leaky pipes.
If you are talking about a drip coming from an air-conditioning unit, there may be something else wrong with the unit or its drainage system. Have it looked at by a professional.
A drip diverter tarp can be used with other solutions, like absorbent pads for example. Let's say you are experiencing a water leak in the mechanical room that has water dripping down through the ceiling of the room below. You can install absorbent pads above the ceiling tiles to prevent the water from staining the tiles. Your drip diverter tarp would be there to catch any water that might leak from between the tiles.
In order for your drip diverter tarp to be effective, you will need a hose that connects to the center of the tarp and carries dripping water away. The hose can be discharged in a sink, drain, or sewer. You will also need to route the hose so that it stays out of the way.
How you suspend a drip diverter tarp is important. Some people recommend using bungee cords that attach to each of the four corners of the tarp. Others prefer rope or wire. Regardless of your choice, the tarp needs to be secured in place so that it does not shift. If you are using the tarp to catch water from a leaky pipe, you might be able to suspend it directly from the pipe.
Drip diverter tarps are really intended for interior use involving minor leaks. However, some of our customers have used them for exterior applications as well. This can be tricky, given the fact that rain and snow storms hardly constitute a minor drip.
A good drip diverter tarp should hold up just fine for exterior use. The trick is suspending it properly and in the right location. You might also not have to worry about using a hose, either. Depending on the water you are trying to capture and channel, you could hang one side of the tarp lower than the other to create a natural runoff.
Remember, a drip diverter tarp is a cost-effective and easy way to manage minor water leaks. Whether you're trying to protect hay in your barn or sensitive office equipment your business relies on, a strategically placed drip diverter tarp makes a real difference. We are happy to offer several different sizes of tarps for a variety of needs.


OPINION: Who am I and where do I come from? Many New Zealanders ask themselves these important questions. This is the basis of our identity as individuals and as members of groups. The article Seeking the truth in DNA (March 24) tells us just how popular it has become to seek answers through genetic testing companies like Ancestry.com. For a few dollars and a small saliva sample all will be revealed.
But will it? What these tests do show is who our deep-time ancestors were and where they came from. Their results may be surprising to some. It is possible to be born in Dublin to two rock solid Irish parents and yet be told that you are Scandinavian. This dilemma can only be resolved by learning about historical population movements and invasions.

Gilead Sciences Statement on The World Health Organization's Updated Veklury® (Remdesivir) COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines
Foster City, Calif., December 17, 2021 – Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion to expand the indication for Veklury® (remdesivir) to include adults who do not require supplemental oxygen and are at an increased risk of progressing to severe COVID-19. The European Commission (EC) will review the CHMP recommendation and, if adopted, Veklury will be approved for use earlier in the course of disease and has the potential to help prevent people from progressing to a more serious form of the disease. Previously, Veklury was approved for use in the EU in adults and adolescents with pneumonia requiring supplemental oxygen. Under the expanded indication, patients who do not require supplemental oxygen should receive Veklury for three days. For patients who do require supplemental oxygen, Veklury should still be given for at least five days and not more than 10 days.
The positive opinion follows a review of the latest data supporting Veklury use including results from a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a three-day course of Veklury for intravenous (IV) use for the treatment of COVID-19 in non-hospitalized patients at high risk for disease progression. In an analysis of 562 participants randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive Veklury or placebo, Veklury demonstrated a statistically significant 87% reduction in risk for the composite primary endpoint of COVID-19 related hospitalization or all-cause death by Day 28 (0.7% [2/279]) compared with placebo (5.3% [15/283]) p=0.008. In the study, no deaths were observed in either arm by Day 28. The safety profile was similar between Veklury and placebo across the variety of outpatient settings in this trial, with the most common treatment emergent adverse events (≥5%) in patients taking Veklury being nausea and headache. These data have also been shared with other regulatory agencies around the world and submitted for scientific peer-reviewed publication.
In the United States, Veklury is indicated for adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older and weighing at least 40 kg) for the treatment of COVID-19 requiring hospitalization. The use of Veklury for the treatment of non-hospitalized patients with three days of dosing is investigational, and the safety and efficacy for this use and dosing duration have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Veklury is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to Veklury or any of its components; please see below for additional Important Safety Information for Veklury.
In addition, Gilead has recently completed an internal analysis of genetic information for the Omicron variant which suggests that Veklury will continue to be active against this latest variant and Gilead will conduct laboratory testing to confirm this analysis. To date, no major genetic changes have been identified in any of the known variants of concern that would significantly alter the viral RNA polymerase targeted by Veklury. Veklury's antiviral activity has been tested in vitro against isolates of variants of SARS-CoV-2 including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon. These laboratory findings suggest that Veklury will continue to be active against the currently identified variations in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, including the Omicron variant.
About Veklury
Veklury (remdesivir) is a nucleotide analog invented by Gilead, building on more than a decade of the company's antiviral research. Veklury is the antiviral standard of care for the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. At this time, more than half of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States are treated with Veklury. It can help reduce disease progression across the spectrum of disease severity and enable hospitalized patients to recover faster, freeing up limited hospital resources and saving healthcare systems money.
Veklury is approved or authorized for temporary use in approximately 50 countries worldwide. To date, Veklury and generic remdesivir have been made available to nine million patients around the world, including 6.5 million people in 127 middle- and low-income countries through Gilead's voluntary licensing program. These licenses currently remain royalty-free, reflecting Gilead's existing commitment to enabling broad patient access to remdesivir.
U.S. Indication for Veklury
Veklury® (remdesivir 100 mg for injection) is indicated for adults and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older and weighing at least 40 kg) for the treatment of COVID-19 requiring hospitalization. Veklury should only be administered in a hospital or in a healthcare setting capable of providing acute care comparable to inpatient hospital care. Veklury is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to Veklury or any of its components. For more information, please see the U.S. full Prescribing Information available at www.gilead.com
U.S. Important Safety Information for Veklury
Veklury is contraindicated in patients with a history of clinically significant hypersensitivity reactions to Veklury or any of its components.
Hypersensitivity, including infusion-related and anaphylactic reactions: Hypersensitivity, including infusion-related and anaphylactic reactions, has been observed during and following administration of Veklury. Monitor patients under close medical supervision for hypersensitivity reactions during and following administration of Veklury. Symptoms may include hypotension, hypertension, tachycardia, bradycardia, hypoxia, fever, dyspnea, wheezing, angioedema, rash, nausea, diaphoresis, and shivering. Slower infusion rates (maximum infusion time ≤120 minutes) can potentially prevent these reactions. If a severe infusion-related hypersensitivity reaction occurs, immediately discontinue Veklury and initiate appropriate treatment (see Contraindications).
Increased risk of transaminase elevations: Transaminase elevations have been observed in healthy volunteers and in patients with COVID-19 who received Veklury; these elevations have also been reported as a clinical feature of COVID-19. Perform hepatic laboratory testing in all patients (see Dosage and administration). Consider discontinuing Veklury if ALT levels increase to >10x ULN. Discontinue Veklury if ALT elevation is accompanied by signs or symptoms of liver inflammation.
Risk of reduced antiviral activity when coadministered with chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine: Coadministration of Veklury with chloroquine phosphate or hydroxychloroquine sulfate is not recommended based on data from cell culture experiments, demonstrating potential antagonism, which may lead to a decrease in antiviral activity of Veklury.
The most common adverse reaction (≥5% all grades) was nausea.
The most common lab abnormalities (≥5% all grades) were increases in ALT and AST.<
Drug interaction trials of Veklury and other concomitant medications have not been conducted in humans.
Dosage: For adults and pediatric patients ≥12 years old and weighing ≥40 kg: 200 mg on Day 1, followed by once-daily maintenance doses of 100 mg from Day 2 administered only via intravenous infusion over 30 to 120 minutes.
Treatment duration: For patients not requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and/or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO): 5 days; may be extended up to 5 additional days (10 days total) if clinical improvement is not observed. For patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and/or ECMO: 10 days.
Testing prior to and during treatment: Perform eGFR, hepatic laboratory, and prothrombin time testing prior to initiating Veklury and during use as clinically appropriate.
Renal impairment: Veklury is not recommended in individuals with eGFR <30 mL/min.
Dose preparation and administration: See full Prescribing Information.
Pregnancy: There are insufficient human data on the use of Veklury during pregnancy. Pregnant women hospitalized with COVID-19 are at risk for serious morbidity and mortality. Veklury should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk for the mother and the fetus.
Lactation: It is not known whether Veklury can pass into breast milk. Breastfeeding individuals with COVID-19 should follow practices according to clinical guidelines to avoid exposing the infant to COVID-19.

Things are slowing down and there is not much to talk about now, and for the next few months. The capsicums are still ripening and I will be harvesting them until it gets frosty, and most of the chufa varieties are either dug or about to be.
I have to tidy things up a bit over the next two weeks because I will be getting a visit from a seed company rep on the 15th - it is a big deal because no-one ever wants to travel way out here to see me. I will get on the lawn mower next week to make sure the driveways are tidy, and rotary hoe a few more beds to make it look like I am busier than I actually am, lol.
I will do a series of native food plants from [continent] for a bit of info for you, and to keep me writing. Most of these are plants that I grow or have grown in the past.
Australia does not have the variety of well known food plants that other continents have because our plants have not been in cultivation (deliberate farming) and improvement that have grown other food plants from small and insignificant fruits and veg to the large and colourful ones we see today.
When you see the difference between, say, the ancestor of corn to what we grow in our gardens today you would be amazed. nearly all vegetables have come through this process over thousands of years of selection and breeding.
It is not likely that most of our natives will see much of an improvement over time because there is not much to gain from it. For example, our native raspberries are sweet but small and not flavourful - with the variety of good garden raspberries you can already grow there is no reason to try and improve our native ones. It would take a lot of time and effort without gaining anything better than we already have.
I will describe a few that I am fond of that grow in Southern Australia anyway for those who are interested. I will leave out any commonly known plants like macadamias as everyone already knows about them.
Muntries (Kunzea pomifera): This is a low groundcover shrub that produces little, dried apple flavoured berries in late January.
It mostly grows by the sea but I have found that it grows anywhere that doesn't get too wet in winter.
You can find them in the wild on sand dunes and beside the roads along the coast of Western Victoria and up through SE South Australia.
Native pepper (Tasmannia lanceolata) This shrub comes in male and female forms and is found in damp gullies from NSW to Gippsland, and Tasmania, and some sheltered gullies in the Grampians.
The leaves and berries have a very hot and spicy flavour and are usually used dried and ground to a powder in savoury dishes.
In my climate it needs afternoon shade to grow properly.
Less vigorous and invasive than the South African species, our Pigface (Carpobrotus glaucescens) grows on sand dunes by the sea and produces red or pink fruits in summer.
The leaves are considered edible by some people but I find them disgusting. The fruits, when the insides are squirted into the mouth (especially when warm by the sun) are delicious and have a flavour of salty figs, to lemonade.
They are easy to grow in the garden if not allowed to get too wet.
Water ribbons (Triglochin sp) are a water plant that is recognised by the leaves that float on the water.
The small, crisp, white tubers can be dug for by hand if the water is not too deep. They don't have much flavour but can be boiled or roasted and added to a meal.
This was considered a good food for children and the elderly by the first peoples of Australia.
They are found anywhere there is still or slowly moving water.
You have to cut the plant stem down with long handled loppers then cut out the edible bit (this takes some practice). Then the edible part is peeled down to the core.
The core can be boiled or roasted till soft and it tastes just like asparagus, delicious.
Of course there a heap of other local native food plants, as well as those from other parts of the country but I can't list them all in one small article. When you are out bush look for native raspberries, ground orchids, heaths, bulrush, mistletoes and more. In towns you can find native foods in gardens - such as kurrajong and kangaroo paws.
I really liked this post Rowan. Knowing what is growing nearby that is native is such valuable knowledge that most (including me) are largely unaware of. It is quite disrespectful to the land we rely on to grow with, really. Thanks for today's inspiration to research further. Do you have any plans to offer seeds/plants of native varieties in the future?
Ps: I had nearly 100% germination from the Singara rattailed radish seeds I got from you. Your seeds are always reliable, it makes life so much more stress free. Thanks.
Wow, thanks for your comment. I'm glad your radishes are growing well.

Prinze, Freddie
NBC Photo
(1954–77), Hispanic American comedian. Born on June 22, 1954, Prinze, who was of mixed Hungarian and Puerto Rican heritage, grew up in a barrio of Manhattan, in New York City. He was often able to avoid local fights by using self-deprecating ethnic humor. He studied at the High School for Performing Arts in New York, and by age 19 he was performing his comedy in clubs. He performed stand-up on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Soon thereafter, he became the first Hispanic star of a network prime-time television series. The series, Chico and the Man, was created by James Komack for Prinze and ran for three years. Prinze played a young Latino who worked with an older white man in a garage. The humor revolved around their generation gap as well as their cultural differences. It was Prinze's only professional role. Prinze committed suicide while at the height of his career. He died on Jan. 29, 1977, in Los Angeles.

NYPD officer to activist: 'Your First Amendment ends right here'
For the millionth time: it is perfectly legal to film the police.
Aaron Sankin
Published Nov 11, 2014 Updated May 30, 2021, 5:50 am CDT
If you want to understand why a recent Gallup survey found that about half of Americans often distrust the police, all you need to hear are the six words one NYPD officer yelled at a man filming him in the line of duty: "Your First Amendment ends right here!"
In a video posted to YouTube last week by Danny Panzella, the founder of New York-based police watchdog group Peaceful Streets Project NYC, a NYPD officer can be seen telling the longtime cop-watching activist the limits of his rights to stand up to the police and film the results.
The video begins with the officer threatening to arrest the videographer for "disorderly conduct," there is no indication of exactly what came before; but, Panzella told the Daily Dot that he was eating hot dogs with his three-year old son in front of Brooklyn's Atlantic Center shopping mall when he saw a mall security guard detain a taxi driver for picking up passengers in a fire lane.
A taxi driver himself, Panzella felt some sympathy and went over argue on the driver's behalf.
After a few minutes, a trio of police officer arrived on the scene. One officer repeatedly told the Panzella to "walk away," but Panzella insisted his First Amendment rights allowed him to "stand right here and videotape."
"If your son wasn't here, I'd lock you up in a heartbeat," the officer responds. "Your First Amendment ends right here!"
A bystander off camera can be heard urging Panzella to "ease up" and just do whatever the police ask. Panzella eventually turns over his ID and begins talking to another officer, while the first cop who initially detained him can be heard in an argument off camera yelling, "freedom of speech only goes so far."
Eventually a sizable crowd forms, and one of the officers says that the gathering is evidence that Panzella was causing a disturbance. However, at this statement, a few members of the crowd retort that they only there to make sure that the cops don't assault the videographer—although sentiment in favor of Panzella isn't uniform. One women just advises Panzella to do whatever the officers insists and the only reason he isn't beaten bloody and in handcuffs is that he is white. Panzella tells her he agrees wholeheartedly.
Panzella was ultimately issued two summons for "obscene language" and "unreasonable sound," although the cab driver was allowed to leave without any consequences—one of the advantages of having someone else make a big scene. There's also a bit irony in the videographer being issued an "obscene language" citation for swearing when on the cops is recorded saying "shit" at about 3:20 into the video—although Panzella admits that he was "dropping some F-bombs" before he started filming.
Representatives from the NYPD did not respond to a request for comment.
A longtime activist, Panzella started The Peaceful Street Project a few years ago largely as a response to the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy. "[Activists like me] have always been harassed, but kept seeing young people—mostly African-American teens and kids—being stopped and frisked on the subway. It didn't seem fair."
Panzella began doing things like handing out cards detailing the rights of people being stopped by police, and once handing out flyers in the midst of an anti-terrorism drill being conducted at Penn Station in Manhattan. Unsurprisingly, these type of activities have gotten Panzella in hot water with police before and, as a result, he seems relatively confident in how the the consequences for his most recent altercation are going to play out.
"Generally, when I go to court to fight these things, they just dismiss them as soon as soon as I say the words 'First Amendment' because a fight over free speech is going to be long and complicated," he explained.
While police officers often have broad discretion on whether to issue citations of for things like "unreasonable sound," it is completely legal in the United States for citizens to film law enforcement officers while they're on the job.
NYPD officer even recently received a refresher on their obligation to allow citizens to film them.
The New York Daily News reported in August that a memo circulated from police chief Philip Banks insisted, "Members of the public are legally allowed to record police interactions. … Intentional interference such as blocking or obstructing cameras or ordering the person to cease constitutes censorship and also violates the First Amendment."

Last August I was out in Archer City, watching a literary icon selling off the majority of his massive antiquarian book collection. I have some history out there, so I really wanted to be present for the auction, and to see the town transform the way Larry McMurtry had always hoped. (You can read my take here.) There were more people than I've ever seen in Archer City, including several individuals running around with cameras and microphones.
A year later, we have "Books: A Documentary." Well, we sort of have it. You can see the preview above. There was a Kickstarter campaign for the film that raised more than $20,000, but unfortunately the all-or-nothing campaign was trying for $50,000–which means the filmmakers got nothing. There is now a second Kickstarter campaign, with a more modest (and already achieved) goal of $10,000. Some of the gifts for contributors include a personalized autographed hardcover edition of Lonesome Dove, a signed copy of "Brokeback Mountain: Story to Screenplay," a sampling of books from what remains of McMurtry's collection, and a personalized typed "Thank You" letter from McMurtry himself.

Unfortunately, while it may look close on a map, it is a long way away and there is no walking path between Port Orleans and Epcot. In fact, there is no walking path from any Disney Moderate or Disney Value Resort to any theme park.
While you can't walk from Port Orleans to Epcot, Port Orleans is my favorite Disney Moderate Resort. I specifically like Port Orleans Riverside, but both Riverside and French Quarter are nice. If you stay at either, you are allowed to use the services and amenities of the other, including the pools. There is also a boat to and from Riverside and French Quarter to Downtown Disney. The boat is especially nice and relaxing at night.

Don Smallgoods to close two factories and axe 600 jobs
Iconic Australian meat company Don Smallgoods will shut factories at Altona in Victoria and Spearwood in Western Australia in a bid to stem losses and consolidate the company's operations.
Don Smallgoods was acquired last year by British food giant George Weston Foods, which also took over smallgoods company KR Castlemaine in April this year.
Mal Sutton, chief executive of the new company Don KR Castlemaine, said Don has lost more than $80 million over the past nine years and the current merged business model was also losing money.
The two factories will close over the next two years and the Don Smallgoods operations will be moved to the KR Castlemine factory in Central Victoria.
"The Castlemaine site was chosen because it is the newest facility with the greatest scope for expansion," Sutton told AAP.
"Once it is complete it will provide a state-of-the-art manufacturing centre and secure the future of our business and iconic brands."
The Meatworkers' Union is angry that the company did not warn workers that the closure was imminent and will seek assistance from federal and state governments to ensure entitlements are paid.
But some workers were philosophical about the decision. "If you are going to lose your job then I suppose this is the best time to do it. I'll just probably go to the mine or something like that I suppose," one worker told the ABC.
The Altona factory currently employs 420 people, while 220 work at Spearwood. Redundancies will being in January.
