Today we are looking at one of Eberlestock's newest packs, the H31Bandit! This is a preview with Trail Testing and the Review coming up soon.
Colors : Lots of colors and camo patterns; black, coyote, military green and so on.
The H31 Bandit is a great little every-day-carry pack. Its laser-cut MOLLE panel allows you to rack on accessories and provides a place to quickly lash one bulky items outside of the main bag. Open the front-loading zipper and you'll be surprised at just how much room there is in such a small pack. Insert either a 2L or 3L Source Hydration Bladder, and this becomes the perfect day pack. Open the top zipper compartment, and inside you will find a key hook, mesh storage pocket, and a third magazine type pocket.
At just over 2 pounds, this is a minimalist's dream. Whether you're an outdoorsman who is into biking, running, snowboarding, hiking, or want to be prepared with an SBR compatible, EDC pack, choose the Bandit.
This is part 1 of a three part series with this pack. This is the preview, the next video will involves some actual testing with this pack and the 3rd will be the review once I've learned all there is to learn concerning it.


IP addresses are digital identities. They allow you to know a person's approximate location and thus enable you to contact the proper authorities in cases of Digital Harassment.
Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't share such information about it's user's with individuals and rarely with the authorities.
But that doesn't mean that we are helpless.
There 'WERE' several ways of tracing someone's IP on Facebook but now, most are obsolete. Only one of them still works.
This method involves sending a message to your harasser and believe me, they are sure to respond.
1] Chose a website that the target would like to read. Then copy the website's URL.
2] Then visit any of these IP Logging Services: Grabbify, IPLogger, Blasze.
3] Paste the URL there and follow the instructions to create a tracking URL.
4] But the Tracking URL gives it away so you need to use an URL shortening service to shorten it. The best service is Goo.gl obviously because it is offered by Google.
5] Then send that shortened link to the target along with a message about what the website is. You can also come up with innovative messages to make the target click it.
6] Once he or she clicks it, you will be able to view it on the IP Logging Service's website.
7] Once you know the IP Address, use any IP Geo-location Tool to find out the country, then email the respective authority and don't fail to include the IP in it.
1] If you only want to know the country then don't bother with the IP Logging Service, simply choose any website, shorten it's URL using Goo.gl and send it. Goo.gl provides the visitor's country by default. Since Goo.gl is offered by Google, it is pretty accurate.
If you are going to use this to trap some Cyber Harasser, you might want to read my article on How to create a Fake Facebook Profile.
You are not committing a crime by tracing someone's IP but if you publish the IP somewhere publicly then that is a crime.
This article is for educational use only.

Curious things people leave at Harriet Tubman's grave

Harriet Tubman's gravestone
The headstone of Harriet Tubman. The conductor on the Underground Railroad, who escaped slavery to return 19 times and guide 300 people to freedom in the North, is buried in Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn. She died March 10, 1913.
A compass to guide us
People who travel to the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged historic site on South Street in Auburn often also stop by her grave, said Karen V. Hill, president and chief executive officer of the home.
Some leave tokens at the grave. Pennnies, quarters, votive candles or flowers, Hill said.
Someone recently left a compass on the headstone.
"We just leave it where it is," said Gary Johnson, a cemetery groundskeeper

A spiritual connection
Dollar bill torn in half and left under a rock at Harriet Tubman's grave in Fort Hill Cemetery, Auburn.
The person who left a dollar bill ripped in half may have kept the other half to have a spiritual connection with Tubman, suggested Groundskeeper Artie Colon.

Harriet Tubman served as a spy and a scout for the North

Harriet Tubman's fight for freedom did not end with the Underground Railroad. She also served as a scout and spy for the North during the Civil War.
Harriet Tubman will be on the new $20 bill
After years of being in the shadows, Harriet Tubman's legacy is being honored.
Earlier this spring, the U.S. Treasury announced that it would honor Harriet Tubman by putting her face on the new $20 bill. And the National Park Service is creating a national park in Auburn to honor her.

Vocabulary: concord: my favourite fruit is/ are....
By Scott Thornbury
An explanation and advice on teaching subject - verb agreement.
I asked some native English speakers the following questions, but I got different answers from them. It does confuse me what the correct answer it is. Would you say, "My favourite fruit is apples." or "My favourite fruit is apple." or "My favourite fruit are apples." ? And, when I change "apple" to "watermelon" or "pineapple", it seems that we can only say, "My favourite fruit is watermelon." If we say, "My favourite fruit is watermelons." that would be not correct. Is that right? Another similar question is, people would say, "My favourite food is noodles.", not "My favourite food is noodle." Then, how about other foods? Would you say, "My favourite food is hamburgers." ?
Is there a rule to apply to the sentences I mentioned above? Could you help with my questions?
Roy Guo
Your fascinating question concerns what is called, technically, concord, or, more generally, agreement. That is, the agreement of subject and verb. So, to take your example (but avoiding fruit for the moment): My favourite animal is the elephant. Here we have concord between the (singular, countable) subject and the verb. We also have agreement between the singular subject and the complement (the elephant). We could equally well say: My favourite animals are elephants. Again concord rules.
In the occasional case where the subject is singular and the complement is plural, the verb agrees with the subject, not the complement. So: My favourite meal is baked beans. Not *My favourite meal are baked beans. (The asterisk is the device traditionally used to show a grammatically unacceptable example). This, by the way, explains My favourite food is noodles, noodles being almost always thought of in the plural.
However, there is another issue involved, and that is the way we use nouns to talk generically, that is, about classes of things. When we say My favourite animals are elephants, we are talking about elephants as a class, rather than any specific and identifiable elephants (in which case we would say My favourite animals are the elephants – e.g. the ones in the zoo). With countable nouns there are three options when talking generically:
An elephant is a mammal.
The elephant is a mammal.
Elephants are mammals.
With uncountable nouns, there is only one option – the "zero article":
Carbon is an element.
So far so good. But your example with fruit somewhat complicates things, since fruit has two plural forms: the more common fruit, as in The tree is pretty but its fruit are poisonous. And fruits, as in Mangoes and pineapples are tropical fruits. (The fact that fruit can also be uncountable, as in Fruit is good for you, need not concern us here, since in the context of my favourite fruit we are talking about one fruit among many, and hence making it countable).
Taking all this into account, we now need to explain why the following seem acceptable (and, indeed, are acceptable when you try them out on native speakers):
1. My favourite fruit are apples
2. My favourite fruit is apples.
Less likely, but grammatical, are:
3. My favourite fruit is the apple.
4. My favourite fruits are apples.
Example 1 is easily explained, since fruit here is the plural form, and hence the example follows the pattern: My favourite animals are elephants.
Example 2 I can only explain as being singular fruit (analogous to My favourite animal…) but that the plural apples is the generic form – a slightly less pompous-sounding way of saying 3. My favourite fruit is the apple. Nevertheless, when questioned about example 2, native speakers feel a bit uncomfortable, recognising it as being somehow deviant, but the best of a bad job. Example 4 might be an attempt to be hypercorrect, with regard to concord, but it is only really likely in cases like My favourite fruits are apples and pears.
If example 2 is acceptable (and I think it is), it raises the question: why can't we say My favourite animal is elephants? The reason is, I think, that it is not unusual to think of apples, generically, in quantities of more than one, but not elephants. In fact, the smaller you get, the more likely it is you would use a plural:
3) My favourite fruit is cherries.
Compare: My favourite fruit is the cherry
4) My favourite vegetable is peas.
Compare: My favourite vegetable is the pea. My favourite vegetables are peas
This also accounts for your watermelon and pineapple cases, I think. My favourite fruit is watermelons conjures up images of eating several at one sitting. The uncountable, zero article, generic watermelon gets round the concord problem, and conjures up an acceptable image of tucking into a watermelon without necessarily eating it all. But it doesn't work for apple: *My favourite fruit is apple.Uncountable apple and countable apple are very different items, in the way that uncountable watermelon and countable watermelon are not.
So, as a general rule, I'd say that, when talking generically, the smaller the item, the more likely it is we will pluralise it. (I like cherries). For bigger items, use an uncountable form, if possible. (I like watermelon). If not, let concord rule. (My favourite animals are woolly mammoths).

\section{Introduction}
A \textsl{singular modulus} is the $j$-invariant of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication. Given a singular modulus~$x$ we denote by $\Delta_x$ the discriminant of the associated imaginary quadratic order.
We denote by $h(\Delta)$ the class number of the imaginary quadratic order of discriminant~$\Delta$. Recall that two singular moduli~$x$ and~$y$ are conjugate over~$\Q$ if and only if ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$, and that all singular moduli of a given discriminant~$\Delta$ form a full Galois orbit over~$\Q$. In particular, ${[\Q(x):\Q]=h(\Delta_x)}$. For all details, see, for instance, \cite[\S 7 and \S 11]{Co13}

Starting from the ground-breaking article of André~\cite{An98} equations involving singular moduli were studied by many authors, see~\cite{ABP15,BLP16,Ri17} for a historical account and further references. In particular, Kühne~\cite{Ku13} proved that equation ${x+y=1}$ has no solutions in singular moduli~$x$ and~$y$, and Bilu et al~\cite{BMZ13} proved the same for the equation ${xy=1}$.
These results where generalized in~\cite{ABP15} and~\cite{BLP16}.

\begin{theorem} {\rm \cite{ABP15,BLP16}}
\label{thspinq}
Let~$x$ and~$y$ be singular moduli such that ${x+y\in \Q}$ or ${xy\in \Q^\times}$. Then either ${h(\Delta_x)=h(\Delta_y)=1}$ or ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$ and ${h(\Delta_x)=h(\Delta_y)= 2}$.
\end{theorem}
Here the statement about ${x+y}$ is (a special case of) Theorem~1.2 from~\cite{ABP15}, and the statement about $xy$ is Theorem~1.1 from~\cite{BLP16}.

Note that lists of all imaginary quadratic discriminants~$\Delta$ with ${h(\Delta)\le 2}$ are widely available, so Theorem~\ref{thspinq} is fully explicit.

In view of Theorem~\ref{thspinq} one may ask the following question: how much does the number field generated by the sum ${x+y}$ or the product $xy$ of two singular moduli differ from the field $\Q(x,y)$? The objective of this note is to show that the fields ${\Q(x+y)}$ and $\Q(xy)$ (provided ${xy\ne 0}$) are subfields of $\Q(x,y)$ of degree at most~$2$, and in ``most cases'' each of ${x+y}$ and $xy$ generates $\Q(x,y)$. Here are our principal results.

\begin{theorem}
\label{thsum}
Let~$x$ and~$y$ be  singular moduli. Then ${\Q(x+y)=\Q(x,y)}$ if ${\Delta_x\ne \Delta_y}$, and  ${[\Q(x,y):\Q(x+y)]\le 2}$ if ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$.
\end{theorem}

\begin{theorem}
\label{thprod}
Let~$x$ and~$y$ be non-zero singular moduli. Then ${\Q(xy)=\Q(x,y)}$ if ${\Delta_x\ne \Delta_y}$, and  ${[\Q(x,y):\Q(xy)]\le 2}$ if ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$.
\end{theorem}

Both the ``sum'' and the ``product'' statements of Theorem~\ref{thspinq} are very special cases of these two theorems.

Note that in the case ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$, the statements ${[\mathbb{Q}(x,y):\mathbb{Q}(x+y)]\leq 2}$ and ${[\mathbb{Q}(x,y):\mathbb{Q}(xy)]\leq 2}$ are best possible: one cannot expect that ${x+y}$ or $xy$ always generates $\Q(x,y)$ in this case. Indeed, for instance,  when~$x$ is a non-real singular modulus and ${y=\bar x}$ is the complex conjugate of~$x$, then neither  ${x+y}$ nor $xy$ generates $\Q(x,y)$.

Theorems~\ref{thsum} and~\ref{thprod} are proved, respectively, in Sections~\ref{ssum} and~\ref{sprod} after some preparations in Section~\ref{sprem} and~\ref{sfields}.

\section{Preliminaries}
\label{sprem}
Everywhere below the letter~$\Delta$ stands for an imaginary quadratic discriminant, that is, ${\Delta<0}$ and satisfies ${\Delta\equiv 0,1\bmod 4}$. The letter~$D$ will denote a fundamental discriminant; that is, in addition to the two conditions imposed on~$\Delta$, when ${D\equiv 0\bmod 4}$ we have ${D/4\equiv 2,3\bmod 4}$.

We denote by ${\mathcal{O}}_\Delta$ the imaginary quadratic order of discriminant~$\Delta$, that is, ${{\mathcal{O}}_\Delta =\Z[(\Delta+\sqrt\Delta)/2]}$. Then ${\Delta=Df^2}$, where~$D$ is  discriminant of the number field ${K=\Q(\sqrt\Delta)}$ and ${f=[{\mathcal{O}}_D:{\mathcal{O}}_\Delta]}$ is the conductor.

We denote by ${\mathcal{C}}(\Delta)$ and by $h(\Delta)$ the class group and the class  number of~${\mathcal{O}}_\Delta$,  so that ${h(\Delta) =\#{\mathcal{C}}(\Delta)}$.

Given a singular modulus~$x$, we write ${\Delta_x=D_xf_x^2}$ with~$D_x$ the fundamental discriminant and~$f_x$ the conductor. We denote by~$\tau_x$ the only~$\tau$ is the standard fundamental domain such that ${j(\tau)=x}$. Further, we denote by~$K_x$ the associated imaginary quadratic field:
$$
K_x=\Q(\tau_x)=\Q(\sqrt{D_x})=\Q(\sqrt{\Delta_x}).
$$

Recall the following basic properties.
\begin{itemize}
\item
The singular moduli of discriminant~$\Delta$ form a full Galois orbit over~$\Q$ and over $\Q(\sqrt\Delta)$ as well. In particular, singular moduli~$x$ and~$y$ are conjugate over~$\Q$ if and only if ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$.

\item
There is a one-to-one correspondence between the singular moduli of discriminant~$\Delta$ and the set~$T_\Delta$ of triples $(a,b,c)$ of integers satisfying ${b^2-4ac=\Delta}$ and some other  conditions; see, for instance, \cite[Proposition~2.5]{BLP16}.  If  ${(a,b,c)\in T_\Delta}$ then ${(b+\sqrt{\Delta})/2}$ belongs to the standard fundamental domain, and the corresponding singular modulus is
${j((b+\sqrt{\Delta})/2a)}$.

\item
We say that a singular modulus is \textsl{dominant} if in the corresponding triple $(a,b,c)$ we have ${a=1}$, and \textsl{subdominant} if ${a=2}$. There exists exactly one dominant and at most two subdominant singular moduli of a given discriminant~$\Delta$, see \cite[Proposition 2.6]{BLP16}.

\end{itemize}

We will systematically use the inequality
$$
\bigl||j(z)|-e^{2\pi \Im z}\bigr|\le 2079,
$$
\cite[Lemma~1]{BMZ13},
which holds true for every~$z$ in the standard fundamental domain. In particular, if~$x$ is a singular modulus of discriminant~$\Delta$ corresponding to the triple ${(a,b,c)\in T_{\Delta}}$  then
$$
\bigl||x|-e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}/a}\bigr|\le 2079.
$$

\section{Fields generated by singular moduli}
\label{sfields}
Let~$G$ be a finite  group. We say that~$G$ is a group of \textsl{dihedral type} if there exists an abelian subgroup ${H<G}$ of index~$2$ and an element ${\iota\in G}$ of order~$2$ such that for any ${g\in H}$ we have ${\iota g\iota=g^{-1}}$. We call the couple $(H,\iota)$ the \textsl{dihedral structure} on~$G$.

Note that a group of dihedral type may be abelian; in this case it is $2$-elementary (that is, isomorphic to ${\Z/2\Z\times\cdots\times\Z/2\Z}$).

The following simple lemma can be found in~\cite{BKR17}, where it is credited to Lenstra. Since the article~\cite{BKR17} did not appear yet, we include a short proof for the reader's convenience.

\begin{lemma}
\label{llen}
Let~$G$ be a non-abelian group of dihedral type with dihedral structure $(H,\iota)$. Then~$H$ is generated by all elements of~$G$ of order $>2$. In particular,~$H$ is unique: if $(H',\iota')$ is another dihedral structures on~$G$, then ${H=H'}$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Note first of all~$G$ does contain elements of order $>2$ because it is not abelian. All of them must belong to~$H$, because every element of ${G\smallsetminus H}$ is of the form $\iota h$ with ${h\in H}$; hence it is of order~$2$. It remains to show that every element of~$H$ of order~$2$ is product of two elements of bigger order. Let ${k\in H}$ be of order $>2$ and let ${h\in H}$ be of order~$2$. Since~$H$ is abelian, $kh$ is also of order $>2$. Writing ${h=k^{-1}\cdot kh}$, we are done.   \qed
\end{proof}

\bigskip

Now let~$x$ be a singular modulus. We write ${\Delta=\Delta_x}$ and ${K=K_x}$. It is known that
the field $K(x)$ is Galois over~$\Q$.  Set ${G={\mathrm{Gal}}(K(x)/\Q)}$, ${H={\mathrm{Gal}}(K(x)/K)}$ and let ${\iota\in G}$ be the complex conjugation.  It is known that~$H$ is isomorphic to ${\mathcal{C}}(\Delta)$.

The following is well-known: see, for instance \cite[Lemma~9.3]{Co13} and   \cite[Corollary~3.3]{ABP15}.

\begin{proposition}
\label{pcox}
The group~$G$ is of dihedral type, with dihedral structure $(H,\iota)$. Furthermore, the following properties are equivalent.

\begin{enumerate}
\item
\label{iab}
The group~$G$ is abelian.

\item
\label{i2}
The group~$H$ is $2$-elementary.

\item
\label{i22}
The group~$G$ is $2$-elementary.

\item
\label{igal}
The field $\Q(x)$ is Galois over~$\Q$.

\item
\label{iab1}
The field $\Q(x)$ is abelian over~$\Q$.

\end{enumerate}

\end{proposition}

\begin{corollary}
\label{ctwoconj}
Let $x,x',y,y'$ be singular moduli. Assume that
$$
\Delta_x=\Delta_{x'}, \quad \Delta_y=\Delta_{y'}, \quad D_x\ne D_y.
$$
Assume further that ${\Q(x,x')=\Q(y,y')}$. Then ${\Q(x)=\Q(y)}$.
\end{corollary}

\begin{proof}
If $\Q(x)$ is Galois over~$\Q$ then ${\Q(x,x')=\Q(x)}$ and ${\mathrm{Gal}}(\Q(x)/\Q)$ is $2$-elementary by Proposition~\ref{pcox}. Then ${\mathrm{Gal}}(\Q(y,y')/\Q)$ is  $2$-elementary as well, which implies that $\Q(y)$ is Galois over~$\Q$, which implies that ${\Q(y)=\Q(y,y')}$. Hence ${\Q(x)=\Q(y)}$.

Now assume that $\Q(x)$ is not Galois over~$\Q$. We will see that this leads to a contradiction.  Since $K_x(x)$ is Galois over~$\Q$ and ${[K_x(x):\Q(x)]\le 2}$, the field $K_x(x)$ is the Galois closure of $\Q(x)$ over~$\Q$.

Denote by~$L$ the Galois closure of $\Q(x,x')$ over~$\Q$. Since
$$
\Q(x)\subset \Q(x,x')\subset K_x(x),
$$
we have ${L=K_x(x)}$. Since ${\Q(x,x')=\Q(y,y')}$, we have similarly ${L=K_y(y)}$.

Set ${H_x={\mathrm{Gal}}(L/K_x)}$ and ${H_y={\mathrm{Gal}}(L/K_y)}$, and let~$\iota$ be the complex conjugation. Then $(H_x,\iota)$ and $(H_y,\iota)$ are dihedral structures in ${G={\mathrm{Gal}}(L/\Q)}$. Proposition~\ref{pcox} implies that~$G$ is not abelian, and Lemma~\ref{llen} implies that ${H_x=H_y}$. Hence ${K_x=K_y}$, contradicting the assumption ${D_x\ne D_y}$. The proof is complete. \qed
\end{proof}

\section{Proof of Theorem~\ref{thsum}}
\label{ssum}
Let~$x$ and~$y$ be singular moduli. We want to show that   ${\Q(x,y)=\Q(x+y)}$ if ${\Delta_x\ne \Delta_y}$  and  ${[\Q(x,y):\Q(x+y)]\le 2}$ if ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$. We may clearly assume that ${x\ne y}$. In this case we will prove the following more general statement.

{\sloppy

\begin{theorem}
Let~$x$ and~$y$ be distinct singular moduli and ${\varepsilon\in\{\pm1\}}$. Then ${\Q(x,y)=\Q(x+\varepsilon y)}$, unless ${\varepsilon=1}$ and ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$, in which case we have ${[\Q(x,y):\Q(x+y)]\le 2}$.
\end{theorem}

}

Let~$L$ be the Galois closure of $\Q(x,y)$ over~$\Q$. Set
$$
G={\mathrm{Gal}}(L/\Q(x+\varepsilon y)), \qquad H={\mathrm{Gal}}(L/\Q(x,y)).
$$
Note that
$$
H=\{\sigma \in G: x^\sigma=x\}=\{\sigma \in G: y^\sigma=y\}.
$$
We want to show that ${G=H}$, unless
\begin{equation}
\label{except}
\Delta_x=\Delta_y,\qquad \varepsilon=1,
\end{equation}
in which case ${[G:H]\le 2 }$.

\subsection{Equal discriminants}
\label{sseq}
We start from the case
${\Delta_x=\Delta_y=\Delta}$.
We may assume that~$x$ is dominant and~$y$ is not (recall that ${x\ne y}$. It follows that
$$
|x|\ge e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}}-2079, \qquad |y|\le e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/2}+2079.
$$
and
\begin{equation}
\label{elowerequal}
|x+\varepsilon y|\ge e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}}-e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/2}-4158.
\end{equation}

\subsubsection{The case ${\varepsilon=1}$}
Assume  that ${\varepsilon =1}$ and let us prove that ${[G:H]\le 2}$.  If ${[G:H]>2}$ then there exists ${\sigma \in G}$ such that ${x^\sigma \ne x}$ and ${x^\sigma \ne y}$. Since ${x+ y=x^\sigma+ y^\sigma }$ by the definition of the group~$G$, we also have ${y^\sigma \ne x}$. Thus, neither~$x^\sigma$ nor~$y^\sigma$ is dominant. It follows that
\begin{equation*}
|x^\sigma|\le e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/2}+2079, \qquad |y^\sigma|\le e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/2}+2079,
\end{equation*}
and
\begin{equation}
\label{eupperequal}
|x+y|=|x^\sigma+y^\sigma|\le 2e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/2}+4158.
\end{equation}
This contradicts~\eqref{elowerequal} when~$|\Delta|\geq 9$, and for ${|\Delta|\leq 8}$ we have ${h(\Delta)=1}$, and so ${G=H}$ is a trivial group.

\subsubsection{The case ${\varepsilon=-1}$}
Now assume that ${\varepsilon=-1}$ and let us prove that ${G=H}$. If  ${G\ne H}$ then there exist ${\sigma \in G}$ such that ${x^\sigma \ne x}$. Then ${y^\sigma \ne x}$ either; in the opposite case we would have ${2x=x^\sigma+y}$, which is impossible, since~$x$ is dominant, but~$x^\sigma$ and~$y$ are not. Thus, neither~$x^\sigma$ nor~$y^\sigma$ is dominant, and we again obtain~\eqref{eupperequal}, which together with~\eqref{elowerequal} implies  that ${|\Delta|\leq 8}$, in which case ${G=H}$ is a trivial group.

\subsection{Equal fundamental discriminants}
Now let us assume that ${D_x=D_y=D}$, but ${f_x\ne f_y}$. We may assume that ${f_x>f_y}$ and that~$x$ is dominant.

Since  ${f_x> f_y}$ we have  ${f_x\ge f_y+1}$, and
$$
|\Delta_y|^{1/2}=|D|^{1/2}f_y\le |D|^{1/2}f_x-|D|^{1/2}\le |\Delta_x|^{1/2}-\sqrt3.
$$
Hence
$$
|x|\ge e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}}-2079, \qquad  |y|\le e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}-\pi\sqrt3}+2079 \le 0.01 e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}}+2079
$$
and
\begin{equation}
\label{elowerdistinct}
|x+\varepsilon y|\ge 0.99e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}}-4158.
\end{equation}

Now let us assume that ${H\ne G}$. Then there exists ${\sigma\in G}$ such that  ${x^\sigma\ne x}$; in particular,~$x^\sigma$ is not dominant, and we have
$$
|x^\sigma|\le e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}/2}-2079, \qquad  |y^\sigma|\le e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}-\pi\sqrt3}+2079 \le 0.01 e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}}+2079.
$$
Therefore
$$
|x+\varepsilon y|=|x^\sigma+y^\sigma|\le 0.01 e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}}+ e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}/2}+4158.
$$
This contradicts~\eqref{elowerdistinct} when $|\Delta_x|\geq 9$, and for  ${|\Delta_x|\leq 8}$  the group ${G=H}$ is trivial.

\subsection{Distinct fundamental discriminants}
\label{ssdist}
Now assume that ${D_x\ne D_y}$.
If ${G\ne H}$ then there exists ${\sigma \in G}$ such that ${x^\sigma \ne x}$. For such~$\sigma$ we have
${x-x^\sigma =\varepsilon(y^\sigma-y)}$.
In particular,
${\Q(x-x^\sigma)=\Q(y-y^\sigma)}$.

{\sloppy

As we have seen in Subsection~\ref{sseq},
${\Q(x-x^\sigma)=\Q(x,x^\sigma)}$. Similarly, ${\Q(y-y^\sigma)=\Q(y,y^\sigma)}$.
We obtain  ${\Q(x,x^\sigma)=\Q(y,y^\sigma)}$.

}

Now Corollary~\ref{ctwoconj} implies that ${\Q(x)=\Q(y)}$. Hence that our~$\Delta_x$ and~$\Delta_y$ are listed in Table~2 on page~12 of~\cite{ABP15}.  For these values of~$\Delta_x$ and~$\Delta_y$ the statement can be verified directly using \textsf{PARI}~\cite{pari}.

\section{Proof of Theorem~\ref{thprod}}
\label{sprod}
It is rather similar to the proof of Theorem~\ref{thsum}, though technically a bit more complicated. Let~$x$ and~$y$ be non-zero singular moduli. We want to show that   ${\Q(x,y)=\Q(xy)}$ if ${\Delta_x\ne \Delta_y}$  and  ${[\Q(x,y):\Q(xy)]\le 2}$ if ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$. Since ${\Q(x^2)=\Q(x)}$ \cite[Lemma 2.6]{Ri17}, we may  assume that ${x\ne y}$. In this case we will prove the following more general statement.

\begin{theorem}
Let~$x$ and~$y$ be distinct non-zero singular moduli and ${\varepsilon\in\{\pm1\}}$. Then ${\Q(x,y)=\Q(xy^\varepsilon)}$, unless ${\varepsilon=1}$ and ${\Delta_x=\Delta_y}$, in which case we have ${[\Q(x,y):\Q(xy)]\le 2}$.
\end{theorem}

We again denote by~$L$  the Galois closure of $\Q(x,y)$ over~$\Q$, and we set
$$
G={\mathrm{Gal}}(L/\Q(xy^\varepsilon)), \qquad H={\mathrm{Gal}}(L/\Q(x,y)).
$$
We want to show that ${G=H}$, unless~\eqref{except} holds,
in which case ${[G:H]\le 2 }$.

\subsection{Equal discriminants}
\label{sseqprod}
We again start from the case
${\Delta_x=\Delta_y=\Delta}$.
We may assume that~$x$ is dominant and~$y$ is not.

\subsubsection{The case ${\varepsilon=1}$}
\label{ssseone}
Assume first that ${\varepsilon=1}$ and let us prove that ${[G:H]\le 2}$.  We have the lower bound
\begin{equation}
\label{elowereq}
|xy|\ge 3000e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}}\min\{10^{-8}, |\Delta|^{-3}\},
\end{equation}
see~\cite{BLP16}, equation~(12). If ${[G:H]>2}$ then there exists ${\sigma \in G}$ such that ${x^\sigma \ne x}$ and ${x^\sigma \ne y}$. Since ${x y=x^\sigma y^\sigma }$ by the definition of~$G$, we also have ${y^\sigma \ne x}$. Thus, neither~$x^\sigma$ nor~$y^\sigma$ is dominant.

Now we have two cases. If one of~$x^\sigma$,~$y^\sigma$ is not subdominant then we have the upper bound
\begin{equation}
\label{euppereq}
|xy|=|x^\sigma y^\sigma|\le (e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/2}+2079)(e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/3}+2079),
\end{equation}
which contradicts~\eqref{elowereq} when~$|\Delta|\geq 396$.

Now assume that both~$x^\sigma$ and~$y^\sigma$ are subdominant. Then from  \cite[Proposition~2.6]{BLP16}, we have that  ${\Delta=1\bmod8}$ and
$$
\{\tau_{x^\sigma}, \tau_{y^\sigma}\}=\left\{\frac{-1+\sqrt\Delta}{4},\frac{1+\sqrt\Delta}{4}\right\}.
$$
In particular, ${\tau_{x^\sigma}-\tau_{y^\sigma}=\pm1/2}$, which implies that $(x^\sigma,y^\sigma)$ is a point on the modular curve $Y_0(4)$, defined by the equation ${\Phi_4(X,Y)=0}$, where $\Phi_4$ is the classical modular polynomial of level~$4$. Since $\Phi_4$ has coefficients in~$\Q$, the point $(x,y)$ must also belong to this curve. But we have
\begin{align*}
\Phi_4(X,j(\tau))=&\left(X-j\left(\frac{\tau}{4}\right)\right)\left(X-j\left(\frac{\tau+1}{4}\right)\right)\left(X-j\left(\frac{\tau+2}{4}\right)\right)\times\\
&\left(X-j\left(\frac{\tau+3}{4}\right)\right)(X-j(4\tau))\left(X-j\left(\tau+\frac{1}{2}\right)\right).
\end{align*}
Since ${\tau_x=(1+\sqrt\Delta)/2}$, we must have
${\tau_y =(b+\sqrt\Delta)/8}$ with some~$b$. This shows that in this case we have a sharper, than~\eqref{elowereq} lower bound
\begin{equation}
\label{elowermodul}
|xy|\ge (e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}}-2079)(e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/4}-2079).
\end{equation}
We also have the upper bound
\begin{equation}
\label{euppermodul}
|xy|=|x^\sigma y^\sigma|\le (e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/2}+2079)^2.
\end{equation}
Comparing the two bounds, we again obtain a contradiction when~$|\Delta|\geq 95$.

Thus in any case ${|\Delta|\le 395}$, and  the condition ${[G:H]\le 2}$ can be verified by a direct calculation using \textsf{PARI}.

\subsubsection{The case ${\varepsilon=-1}$}
\label{sssepsminone}
Now assume that ${\varepsilon=-1}$ and let us prove that ${G=H}$. If  ${G\ne H}$ then there exist ${\sigma \in G}$ such that ${x^\sigma \ne x}$.
We obtain the equality
${xy^\sigma=x^\sigma y}$,
with both~$x^\sigma$ and~$y$ not dominant.  If one of them is not subdominant either, then we have bounds of the form~\eqref{elowereq} and~\eqref{euppereq} for~$|xy^\sigma|$, leading to a contradiction when $|\Delta|\geq 396$; for the small $|\Delta|$  it can be verified directly that ${G=H}$.

If both~$x^\sigma$ and~$y$ are  subdominant, then $(x^\sigma,y)$ is a point on $Y_0(4)$. Then so is $(x,y^{\sigma^{-1}})$.  We have
${xy^{\sigma^{-1}}=x^{\sigma^{-1}} y}$ with both~$x^{\sigma^{-1}}$ and~$y$ not dominant. Arguing  as in Subsection~\ref{ssseone}, we bound ${|xy^{\sigma^{-1}}|}$ from below with the right-hand side of~\eqref{elowermodul}, and ${|x^{\sigma^{-1}} y|}$ from above by the right-hand side of~\eqref{euppermodul}, again arriving to a contradiction when $|\Delta|\geq 95$. Thus, in any case we have ${|\Delta|\le 395}$, and for these small values of~$|\Delta|$ it can be verified that ${G=H}$ using \textsf{PARI}.

\subsection{Equal fundamental discriminants}
Now let us assume that ${D_x=D_y=D}$, but ${f_x\ne f_y}$. We want to show that ${G=H}$.
We may assume that~$x$ is dominant and that ${f_x>f_y}$.

Assume that ${G\ne H}$. Then there exists ${\sigma\in G}$ such that ${x^\sigma \ne x}$. Then also ${y^\sigma \ne y}$. We have ${x/x^\sigma=(y/y^\sigma)^{\varepsilon}}$, and, in particular, ${\Q(x/x^\sigma)=\Q(y/y^\sigma)}$. The result of Subsection~\ref{sssepsminone} implies that ${\Q(x,x^\sigma)=\Q(y,y^\sigma)}$. It follows that ${K(x,x^\sigma)=K(y,y^\sigma)}$, where we set ${K=K_x=K_y=\Q(\sqrt D)}$. Since the fields $K(x)$ and $K(y)$ are Galois over~$\Q$, we obtain ${K(x)=K(y)}$. Proposition 4.3  from~\cite{ABP15} now implies\footnote{To be precise, the hypothesis of Proposition 4.3  from~\cite{ABP15} is (in our notation) ${\Q(x)=\Q(y)}$, which is formally stronger than ${K(x)=K(y)}$. But in the proof of this proposition it is used only that ${K(x)=K(y)}$.} that either ${h(\Delta_x)=h(\Delta_y)=1}$, which is impossible because ${G\ne H}$, or ${f_x/f_y\in \{2,1,1/2\}}$. Since ${f_x>f_y}$, we have ${f_x=2f_y}$.

In the sequel we denote ${\Delta_y=\Delta}$ and ${\Delta_x=4\Delta}$. Note that ${\Delta\equiv 1\bmod 8}$, see \cite[Subsection~3.2.2]{BLP16}. This implies that there are no subdominant singular moduli of discriminant $4\Delta$, see \cite[Proposition~2.6]{BLP16}. In particular,~$x^\sigma$ is not subdominant.

We have
\begin{equation}
\label{etwo}
xy=x^\sigma y^\sigma\quad  \text{if $\varepsilon=1$}, \qquad  xy^\sigma=x^\sigma y \quad \text{if $\varepsilon=-1$}.
\end{equation}
Since~$x$ is dominant,  both left-hand sides in~\eqref{etwo} can be bounded from below as
$$
3000e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}}\min\{10^{-8}, |\Delta_y|^{-3}\} \ge  3000e^{2\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}}\min\{10^{-8}, |\Delta|^{-3}\}
$$
see~\cite{BLP16}, equation~(12).
Further, since~$x^\sigma$ is neither dominant nor subdominant, both right-hand sides in~\eqref{etwo} can be estimated from above as
$$
(e^{\pi|\Delta_x|^{1/2}/3}+2079)(e^{\pi|\Delta_y|^{1/2}}+2079) \le (e^{2\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}/3}+2079)(e^{\pi|\Delta|^{1/2}}+2079)
$$
Comparing the lower and the upper estimates, we obtain a contradiction for $|\Delta|\geq 99$. For the remaining small values of $\Delta$ the condition ${G=H}$ can be verified directly using \textsf{PARI}.

\subsection{Distinct fundamental discriminants}
Now assume that ${D_x\ne D_y}$. We argue exactly as in Subsection~\ref{ssdist}.
If ${G\ne H}$ then there exists ${\sigma \in G}$ such that ${x^\sigma \ne x}$. For such~$\sigma$ we have
${x/x^\sigma =(y^\sigma/y)^{\varepsilon}}$.
In particular,
${\Q(x/x^\sigma)=\Q(y/y^\sigma)}$.
The result of Subsection~\ref{sseqprod} implies that   ${\Q(x,x^\sigma)=\Q(y,y^\sigma)}$, and we obtain   ${\Q(x)=\Q(y)}$ by Corollary~\ref{ctwoconj}. Hence  our~$\Delta_x$ and~$\Delta_y$ are listed in Table~2 on page~12 of~\cite{ABP15}.  For these values of~$\Delta_x$ and~$\Delta_y$ the statement can be verified directly using \textsf{PARI}.

Frank Turner is proud to donate £1 of each ticket sale to support WAYout Arts*, helping to change the lives of street, vulnerable and conflict affected young people through the arts.
The woman who invented rock'n'roll. A serial killer from the Deep South who plucked her victims from lonely hearts pages. The jazz-obsessed heiress who fought for the Free French. A rowdy coach house landlady from 17th century Camden Town accused of witchcraft. The Wild West vaudeville star shot by a small town outlaw. These are just a few of the fascinating characters to feature on No Man's Land, Frank Turner's most original project to date.
Although originally conceived in 2014, global events conspired to throw Turner off course from No Man's Land. "The world went mad in 2016 and I felt like I needed to respond in a slightly more direct way", explains Turner, who released the politically charged Be More Kind, which launched his outrage straight into the UK Album Chart Top Three. That's not to say that No Man's Land isn't just as fired up, but despite the record's implicit feminism, it doesn't see Turner's clambering onto any kind of soapbox. "It's not telling anyone what to do or how to live or how to be", he explains, prepared for a variety of different reactions to the project, including those who might be wondering if it's really his place to be singing songs of disenfranchised women. "If there was a crowded field of people writing songs about Princess Kassiani then I would see the argument for me bowing out, but there isn't," he states. "No-one else is writing these songs right now. That's why I want to share these stories."

As part of Aylesbury Waterside Theatre's commitment to accessibility and theatre for all, the venue has announced their support of the Sunflower Lanyard scheme. Launching to coincide with Learning Disability Week Mon 17 – Sun 23 Jun the sunflower lanyards are an initiative enabling those with a hidden disability who may require additional help to be easily recognised and assisted as needed.
Following a social media post in April highlighting the theatre's relaxed performances as part of Autism Awareness Week, a patron came forward with feedback on how customer experience could be improved for those living with autism. Andy Rotherham from Aylesbury mentioned the sunflower scheme and also how the theatre could benefit from having quiet areas for customers needing a quiet space pre-show and during the interval. As well as implementing the lanyard initiative which signals to theatre staff that a customer has a hidden disability hence enabling appropriate care and support to be delivered in a non-intrusive manner, furniture has been moved in the venue allowing for two quieter breakout areas in Circle 2 and on the Promenade to be utilised.
In the UK 700,000 people live with autism, 1 million have learning disabilities, 850,000 have dementia and 11 million people have some sort of hearing loss. Hidden disabilities include, but are not limited to, dementia, autism, learning disabilities, anxiety issues, mental health impairments and hearing loss. The Waterside is in good company with the sunflower lanyard scheme which is already being used in airports including Gatwick, Heathrow, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol and Inverness, as well as in supermarkets, Sainsburys and Co-op.

Noctua Review is the annual art and literary magazine produced by the Southern Connecticut State University MFA program. It was the brain child of Graduate Student (now Professor) Lois Lake Church and launched its inaugural issue in 2008. They don't have a theme this year; instead, they are asking for writers to send their best fiction, poetry, or art.
In 2016 they published one of my found poems "Sonnet Zero" and sent me a beautiful copy in print.
I wondered how and why this lit mag came to be, so I asked Editor in Chief Natalie Schriefer and she kindly replied. See my interview with Schriefer and submission guidelines below.
HOPKINSON: How/why was Noctua Review originally started?
SCHRIEFER: Noctua started back in 2008 as a publishing opportunity for students enrolled in Southern's MFA program. Starting with 2012, though, the journal opened to submissions to the general public, to anyone writing in the English language. That said, the journal is still plays an important role for the MFA program: Noctua is staffed entirely by graduate students enrolled in both the fiction and poetry programs at Southern. Our goal is simple: we want to read (and publish!) work that moves us.
SCHRIEFER: This year, the editorial staff decided—as a group—to keep this issue of Noctua theme-less. We felt that themes limited the work that people sent us. We aren't interested in reading strong writing on a single subject or idea; instead, we want to read strong writing on any subject, to really let writers hit their stride, so to speak, and showcase their best work in their favorite subjects.
SCHRIEFER: I can't speak for poetry, since I'm a fiction person myself, but I'd love to see some really thoughtful flash fiction. I'm always amazed by writers who can pack a short piece with emotion and meaning.
SCHRIEFER: Rattle is one of my favorite places to read poetry. I read a lot of fiction, but some of my favorite journals are Glimmer Train (I can't believe they're closing!) and New Delta Review. Last year, Noctua has started a journal exchange with Naugatuck Valley Community College. They publish their own literary journal, Fresh Ink, annually.
SCHRIEFER: Poetry and fiction can be submitted through Submittable, at: https://noctuareview.submittable.com/submit.
Art and photography can be emailed directly to our art editor at art.noctua@gmail.com.
Our submissions guidelines are published both on Submittable as well as our website.
SCHRIEFER: Email us at noctua.review@gmail.com!
PAYMENT: While we cannot offer payment at this time, contributors will receive a complimentary copy of the issue in which they appear.

HighTide and New Wolsey Theatre present
When the Long Trick's Over
Thursday 10th March 2022 - 8:00 pm
by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm
I'm doing this for her because this was my sister's dream. This isn't my natural habitat. I wouldn't normally choose this. But she would have.
Two sisters. One dream. The hardest open-water swim in the world.
This triumphant play from Olivier Award-winning Morgan Lloyd Malcolm moves forwards and backwards in time across the 21 miles between Dover and Calais as a young swimmer harnesses her mind and body to make the Channel crossing.
Mixing grief and joy, 90's pop-songs, oil tankers and jelly babies, this HighTide world premiere shows that love persists whatever the distance, and however perilous the journey to the other side.
Created by an all-female, multi-award-winning creative team and cast and led by trailblazing director Chinonyerem Odimba, the swimmer's story is told through vivid projections and daring aerial work choreographed by Upswing's Artistic Director Vicki Amedume. It is an entertaining and heartfelt examination of what it means to carry on even if it means swimming against the tide.

Is Linux the freedom seed?
At this point in my life, I don't feel bothered if you don't see things my way. I don't care if you use something else, and I don't want you to think that I'm trying to persuade you. I do hope this is helpful to someone that may be thinking about a change or if they are interested in how liberty works.
I ask myself all the time if open source is the opposite of the government. Is it the way we should be looking to move toward?
Well, whether we want it to be the way or not (I believe it is) we are moving that way. Even Microsoft is embracing open source. Why? It has no choice. It can't be defeated by corporations or coercion. It 's free to use and open to change by anyone. This is new. It is also the opposite of government.
Now there are communities building open source everything. It's not just software anymore, but that is where it all started. Open source created Linux. Linux created the Internet. The internet created blockchain. Now what?
Linux is actually super easy to install. It is possible to get confused about all the options because there are a lot of them. If you don't know what choices you need, then you really don't need any. The standard install of popular distributions is super easy.
I have to admit that I consider myself a power user and rather long in the tooth when it comes to using this stuff, but I am certain that a true beginner can log onto Linux and use it with ease. There are flavors of Linux that are known to be particularly well suited to beginners. They are easy to use and ready to go "out of the box". Linux Mint is the king of the easy and complete Linux choices out there.

Exclusive I Vicky Kaushal reveals 5 facets of Ranbir Kapoor's personality you might not know about
Updated Aug 07, 2018 | 17:14 IST | Ruchika Kher
Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor shared screen space in Sanju, Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt's biopic, and audiences loved the on-screen equation they shared. Here's what the former has to say about Ranbir.
Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor in Sanju
Even though he has been appreciated for his performances in the past as well, Vicky Kaushal was flooded with compliments post the release of his film, Sanju, which is a biopic based on the life of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt. The film, which stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead, has garnered more than Rs 300 crore at the box office. As Vicky worked closely with Ranbir during the making of the movie, there are certain things he gauged about the star.
The actor reveals that there was no competition between Ranbir and him during the shoot of Sanju, and he found out the following five things about the former during the shoot days.
>> Ranbir is a very secure actor and his main motive is to get all his scenes to look perfect.
>> He has a subtle sense of confidence about his craft and his talent.
>> He doesn't flaunt his confidence, but it can be felt.
>> Ranbir works really hard.
Vicky also reveals that while shooting with Ranbir, things flowed very organically as both the actors were focussed on being honest with their characters and performances. "All we wanted was to do justice to our particular roles," says the actor.

Vicky, who has been busy shooting for Uri in Serbia, will soon head off to Melbourne, Australia, to attend the screening of Sanju at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne.
The actor is excited that he will not just get to attend the festival for the first time, but will also get a break from work. "I am definitely looking forward to going to Melbourne. This is the first time I'll be attending the Festival and with such a special film and special team. I'm really excited about this. Also, it will be a good change. I have been on a rigorous shooting schedule and getting a 4-5 day break will be good," says Vicky.

Q: Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin supported Firefox versions How can I find which version of Firefox does the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin support ? I can't find it anywhere.
As Firefox now has it small development cycle, it could be nice if Google point us to a page where we could find the supported browsers versions.
For information :
I'm using Firefox version 5.0 with no problem.
I saw on Google Groups people saying that the version 8.0 works too.
Actual version of Firefox is 11.
EDIT 1 :
Last supported version can be found here http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/update.rdf as suggested by Thomas.
<em:minVersion>3.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>16.0.*</em:maxVersion>

EDIT 2 :
The file pointed in EDIT 1 do not seems to exist anymore, so the best shot it looking at the commits logs, here : https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/list
ex:

r11637         update for Firefox 23 / Mac
r11636         update for Firefox 23 on Windows

A: The DevMode plugin supports all versions of Firefox from 3.0 to 11.0: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/update.rdf
There's always some lag after a Firefox version is released, but a preliminary version of the DevMode plugin is generally available "unofficially" from the GWT Google Groups a few days (or even hours) after the Firefox release, pending code review before it graduates to the SVN repository. The problem is that the plugin has to be recompiled against the updated Gecko SDK, which is released a few hours or days after Firefox.
…and then the http://gwt.google.com/missing-plugin/ also lags a few days/hours behind (it hasn't yet been updated for Firefox 11 at the time I write), but the plugin for Firefox 11 can be downloaded from the SVN repository.

A: Mozilla is hiding their ftp server with "old" releases pretty good.
Here is the URL: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/11.0/

A: In case you are looking more infomation about how to install/remove/features of the google plugin,
you can look at google plugin tutorial

One More Trailer for Wolfenstein: The New Order
May 18, 2014 by Samantha Lienhard - Leave a comment
Wolfenstein: The New Order releases in just a couple of days, on May 20, and there's a new trailer to celebrate its impending launch. "House of the Rising Sun" plays during this trailer–in German. Enjoy!
With sections that highlight the atmosphere, story, and gameplay, this is a strong trailer to launch with. The Wolfenstein trailers have used an interesting assortment of songs, too, and we enjoyed this little twist. And of course, it makes even more sense in the context of the game's alternate timeline, where the Nazis won World War II.
What do you think of the newest Wolfenstein game? Are you going to buy it? If you'd like to see more gameplay, don't forget that there will be one final gameplay stream on Twitch tomorrow.

Wolfenstein: Day-1 Patch, Destruction, and More
We're less than a week away from the release of Wolfenstein: The New Order. Like many games, there will be a patch for you to download on the first day. We aren't entirely sure what it contains, but it's quite sizeable for a patch. It comes in at 5 GB for the PS4 and 7.3 GB for the Xbox One.
The game itself requires approximately 47 GB for the PS4 and Xbox One versions.
So, what can we expect from the gameplay? Well, Creative Director Jens Matthies shed more light on the multiple gameplay styles in a recent interview with Examiner, where he said most situations will allow you to go into combat "stealthily, tactically or full on guns blazing mayhem style (or any combination of the three)."
He also mentioned in the same interview that you can dual wield weapons and destroy tons of stuff in the environment (though we suspect you can't be destructive if you're playing it the stealthy way).
And the story? Trailers have emphasized the dark atmosphere (this is an alternate timeline in which the Nazis won World War II, after all), and we know it has choices and alternate endings, but Matthies also discussed the game's portrayal of the villains, saying they are "truly representative of Nazi ideology" and have "an air of authenticity." A high claim, which some fans may disagree with, but it only makes us more excited for this game.
Are you planning to pick up Wolfenstein: The New Order next week?

Two Playthroughs for Wolfenstein, Sequel Possible
We're just over a week away from May 20 and the release of Wolfenstein: The New Order. With the release so close, Creative Director Jens Matthies took to Reddit to answer questions posed by fans and reveal some great pieces of information.
If you've been wondering about the frame rate and resolution of Wolfenstein, we now know it will run at 60 fps and 1080p, regardless of platform, with "with minimal visual disparity." Impressive, especially considering the game is coming out for the PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Replay value is another question that came up. According to Matthies, it definitely has a lot of replay value, to the point where you might want to play through twice. You'll make a major choice early on in the story that determines which path the game will take, and "it changes the vibe of the story to a degree and alters the gameplay somewhat." That's pretty cool. We knew from the trailers that The New Order would have options, but we didn't expect a branching storyline to that degree.
When asked about non-combat sections, he said there are some of those in the game, and although the game is focused on action, it can be considered "more as an action adventure than a straight up shooter."
Wolfenstein: The New Order sounds like it could be a really cool game, so we were glad to learn that there's a chance it could have a sequel, if it's successful. What do you think?

New Wolfenstein Trailer Asks You to Pick Stealth or Mayhem
April 30, 2014 by Samantha Lienhard - Leave a comment
The release of Wolfenstein: The New Order is less than a month away. The shooter launches on May 20 for the PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Although the game is a standard FPS, the latest trailer offers multiple options on how to tackle situations, as it shows off "Stealth vs. Mayhem."
Seeing a level handled in two such very different ways suggests the game will have variability and a good deal of replay value, although a majority of Wolfenstein fans seem to already be leaning toward the "mayhem" side of things. Bethesda has been showing off a lot of Wolfenstein lately, and there's still one more live stream planned before the game's launch.
If you plan to take on The New Order, will you go with stealth, mayhem, or a mixture of the two?
Another Half Hour of Wolfenstein Gameplay
As promised last week, Bethesda took time on April 24 to stream more of Wolfenstein: The New Order. This time, it clocks in at just a few minutes under a half an hour.
If you missed the live stream, you can check out Bethesda's Twitch archives, or watch the video embedded below.
So, assuming you've watched both videos, you've now seen about an hour of in-game Wolfenstein footage. What do you think? If you still aren't sure if you want to pick up the game on May 20 or not, one more live stream is planned for May 19. Check it out, and be sure to let us know your thoughts.
On the other hand, if you've already convinced this is a game for you, we want to let you know that Best Buy is giving out $20 in reward certificates to anyone who preorders, in addition to access to the Doom beta, which all preorders get.

Watch Half an Hour of Wolfenstein Gameplay Footage
The closer we get to May 20 and the release of Wolfenstein: The New Order, the more we get to see. Today, we have new screenshots and some gameplay footage to share.
The character pictured above is Caroline Becker, who remains a strong part of the resistance despite being confined to a wheelchair. She is a returning character from 2009's Wolfenstein, and we're interested to see the sort of role she'll play.
In addition to releasing new screenshots, Bethesda has also decided to share gameplay footage via live streams. The first stream lasts just over half an hour and shows the first part of an early mission. Check out the video below, or go to Bethesda's Twitch page to find it archived.
A second live stream will be coming on April 24, and 2 PM EST. What do you think of what you've seen so far?

Doom Beta Requires Xbox Live Gold, Coming to X1/PS4/PC
April 5, 2014 by Samantha Lienhard - Leave a comment
Back when we first learned that preorders of Wolfenstein: The New Order would come with a beta for Doom, we believed the beta would be available for all consoles that Wolfenstein was available for, regardless of which the game would eventually come out on.
However, a new FAQ says very clearly that the beta "will only be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC." If you preorder the Xbox 360 version of Wolfenstein, you will get access to the Xbox One version of the Doom beta. If you preorder the PS3 version, you'll get access to the PS4 version of the beta.
This is a disappointment for fans who have yet to get the next generation of consoles, and it may be a sign that Doom will not appear on the PS3 and Xbox 360, although Bethesda has been careful to not say that. We wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, however.
Additionally, the FAQ reveals that Xbox One players will need to have Gold to play the Doom beta, although PS4 players will not need PS+.
Are you planning to give it a try?

Wolfenstein: The New Order Releases May 20
March 26, 2014 by Samantha Lienhard - Leave a comment
All right, Wolfenstein fans! If you've been looking forward to the newest game in the series, we finally know when you'll be able to play it. Wolfenstein: The New Order will release worldwide on May 20, for the PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. (And don't forget that preorders come with a beta for the next Doom game.)
Also, the limited Panzerhund Edition was announced today, but before you run out to buy it from Bethesda's store, make sure you know what it contains. It costs $100 and comes with a folder containing 11 documents, an 8-inch articulated Panzerhund statue, a steel book case, 14 postcards, 3 patches, and a set of dog tags, all within a special footlocker. The one thing it doesn't include is the game itself.
There will only be 5,000 copies of the Panzerhund set, each of which is numbered.
A collector's edition that doesn't actually include the game sounds kind of strange to us, and it actually raises the price to about $160 if you buy the game as well. Still, if you're really interested in the game's lore, at least the Panzerhund edition contains a lot of interesting stuff. What do you think?

New Gameplay Video for Wolfenstein: The New Order
February 26, 2014 by Cheats.co Staff - Leave a comment
If you've been following our previous updates on the upcoming Wolfenstein game, you might have already seen the trailer that introduced us to the heroes and villains of The New Order, as well as the exciting announcement about the Doom beta included with preorders. The game will be released on May 20 in North America (May 22 in Australia and May 23 in Europe) for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
The premise is simple and intriguing—this is an alternate history in which the Nazis won World War II. As B.J. Blazkowicz, you must struggle against them in the 1960s. It promises a lot of intense FPS action, graphic violence, and a strong narrative. There will not be multiplayer gameplay.
You can now check out an official gameplay video, which shows sections from both the 1940s setting and the 1960s below.
Pretty intense stuff. So, are you prepared to take on a Nazi-controlled world? Let us know your thoughts and hopes for this game.

Wolfenstein: The New Order Runs at 1080p/60fps, 15-20 Hour Campaign
by Cheats.co Staff - Leave a comment
There have been some new previews released for Wolfenstein: The New Order, so we have a few more details for you today. First, one of the writers at the official PlayStation Blog confirmed that the game will run at 1080p with 60fps on the PS4.
In a 2013 interview, Creative Director Jens Matthies said The New Order is "hardwired for 60fps" and therefore would have to run at that rate on all platforms. Today, Bethesda Studios OnlySP that it will run at 1080p and 60fps on the Xbox One, as well. It sounds like this is one game, at least, that can avoid the resolution controversy.
The New Order is going to be a story-driven game, with no multiplayer option, and the campaign is rumored to be somewhere between 15-20 hours long, depending on how quickly you can play through some of the sections. We'll keep you updated if we get confirmation of the playtime. Right now, the new Wolfenstein is looking like a very interesting experience, and we'll be keeping our eyes on it.

The culatello is made from the boned hind muscle of a pig's thigh, usually used to make prosciutto.
Lightly salted and spiced, it is tucked into a pig's bladder, webbed with string, dried for two to three months in a well-aired environment, and then transferred to a humid, dirt-floored cellar for 5-12 months of aging.
Here the Culatello loses about half of its weight in the aging process, controlled by the Consorzio del Culatello di Zibello.
To be ready for tasting, especially as a starter platter, this lean, rosy red, raw ham with a clean and delicate flavor, must be soaked in wine.
How to discover the Culatello of Zibello: visitors eager to discover this tasty product can follow the Road of Culatello, running through the villages along the river Po, renowned for the production of Culatello as well as many other typical gastronomic delicacies such as Spalla cotta (shoulder of ham) from San Secondo, the sweet wine Fortana and the Spongata cake of Busseto.


Mmm… coffee and chicken! And noodles! That sounds like a good night in with a nice bottle of lager and a movie.
oh that looks deeelish! and hello, dano!
How much would the caffiene affect people? More or less than one cup of coffee on its own?
This looks delicious. Especially the vegetarian option, even though I'm not a vegetarian. Good stuff. Also, I like the look of this Dano fella because he's pickin' at a banjo. Work it!
It's GORGEOUS, woman… what are you talking about? Fugly? NO WAY!
This recipe is making me drool.
And Dano — what a sweetheart. If he can cook like this, he's a keeper for sure!
Book came in the mail yesterday… LOVE!!
I remember one of the nights when Dano cooked this particular dish when we came over to your place… t'was phenomenal!
If you put it off long enough, someone else will do it for you.
this looks great! i love nuts, i love chicken, i love coffee. yup.
I am so making this with portobella mushrooms!
I have kind of a squigy issue with poppy seeds (except on everything bagels). Are they absolutely necessary/does it matter since they get all pureed together?
And I totally hear you on the boyfriend front. In fact, I make that same little voice in my head every single time I say the word. Occasionally I giggle, which people (thankfully) attribute to me being all in luv 'n stuff and not being an idiot.
Hmm. This might be a silly question, but I need new glasses and I don't trust my vision anymore. Are those chicken thighs boneless/skinless?
That chicken looks so good, it made let out a quiet "daaaaaaamn." Unfortunately, it wasn't quiet enough for the girl walking past me not to hear.
My embarrassment? Worth it! Great post.
Totally trying this this weekend: looks divine. Like a really awesome curry. NOM!
This might be a silly question…how do you think it would taste without the coffee? Everything looks and sounds delish, but I'm one of the crazies that can't stand coffee. Maybe I'll try it and let you know.
this looks amazing, but it's way over 12 pts for chicken version. I stopped entering into the ww online calc at 14 points and was only half way through the recipe. pecans alone add a shitload of points. re-check?
I wonder how this recipe would fair with say pork chops instead of chicken in some form or another. Any experience with trying this?
This is as wonderful as it is weird. Can't wait to try it.

Cybercrime complaints topped 100,000 in 2021: FIA chief
Azfar-ul-Ashfaque Published January 3, 2022
KARACHI: With growing use of technology and spread of smartphones and gadgets, the number of complaints pertaining to cybercrimes the Federal Investigation Agency received from all over the country during 2021 crossed 100,000 mark, it has emerged.
"We have received a total of 102,356 complaints from Jan 1, 2021 to Dec 31, 2021," FIA director general Dr Sanaullah Abbasi told Dawn. "In 23 per cent of the complaints, Facebook was used as a medium," he said.
"The rise in cybercrime reporting reflects people's confidence in law enforcement... FIA initiated an awakening campaign for people and encouraged them to report [the cases]," he said.
He said not only did a common man approach the FIA but also other law enforcement agencies in the country because it was the only legitimate agency to investigate cybercrimes and to interact with international law enforcement.
The average number of complaints received per month has doubled in just four years
Digital rights activist Nighat Dad agreed that the FIA's cybercrime wings mounted efforts to reach out to people increasingly in the last two years. However, she felt this doesn't necessarily show that people have more confidence in the agency.
"I guess internet penetration as well as awareness [about cybercrimes] have increased and now people know about [existence of] cybercrime wings in different cities. The number of cybercrime wings has been increased over the last one year and this is also one of the reasons behind rising number of complaints," she said.
Not every complaint is regarded as a criminal case. The FIA first verifies each and every complaint and initiates an inquiry after verification. The inquiries translate into criminal cases if cognisable offence is made.
Of the total 102,356 complaints made last year, 80,641 went into verification and 15,932 of them passed the criteria for initiating inquiries. A total of 1,202 cases were registered under relevant sections of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act and over 1,300 suspects were arrested.
According to official data, 32pc of the complaints in 2021 were reported by students, while 25pc of them pertained to financial crimes.
Among the categories of cases, financial fraud and forgery topped the list as 427 FIRs were registered and 388 arrests made in this category, followed by the offence of extortion and blackmailing under which 267 cases were registered and 185 people arrested.
A total of 205 cases were registered under Section 20 (dignity of natural person), 199 cases under Section 21 (rape / modesty of natural person), 76 cases of cyberterrorism / hate speech and 49 cases of child pornography were registered in the year.
An alarming increase in cybercrimes in the country can be gauged from the fact that the number of complaints the FIA got on a monthly basis has doubled in just four years, as in 2018 the agency received on an average 4,031 complaints per month but in 2021 the number rose to 8,688.
The FIA chief said that because of the coronavirus pandemic, almost everything — from governance to business — had been shifted to cyberspace and this also contributed to an increase in reporting.
"There are new challenges like cryptocurrency and we are in the process of preparedness," he said, adding: "Despite resource constraints, we are still giving relief to the common man. Our priority is the common man who is the actual stakeholder in national security."
Dr Abbasi said that the FIA had taken new initiatives as the agency introduced e-investigation, getting record and testimony online like email and video calls with security checks, just to provide relief to the common man.
He said that two programmes involving revamping were going to increase the human resources and new technological equipment. "We are pumping money into the cybercrime wing... we are planning to open a cyber-wing in every district."
Commenting on the cooperation the FIA has been getting from social media giants, Dr Abbasi said that international coordination was critically important, but cooperation from foreign organisations was varying.
"To Facebook we are trying to reach out through Interpol for international cooperation and we are receiving positive results. We are also exploring ideas of creating their business stakes in Pakistani jurisdictions so that law enforcement may be better."
"We are embarking upon initiatives of cyber-patrol, particularly in areas of organised crime, pornography, crime against children, women, minorities and marginalised segments of society," he added.
The FIA chief also asked people to contact cybercrime offices by accessing website (https://nr3c.gov.pk/contact.html) or via email at helpdesk@nr3c.gov.pk.
Ms Dad, the digital rights activist, said that the actual number of cybercrime victims could have been higher than the official number of complaints since many people still did not know where to go while there's a trust deficit especially among the female victims.
"But receiving a complaint is one thing and [properly] handling it is another... how long does it take in the courts for one case... the trials ... there are so many shortcomings in the process and there's a need to fill the gaps," she said.
"I think it should not just be the priority of the agency but also the priority of the state to give more resources to the agency and enhance their understanding, especially when it comes to marginalised groups, women and the transgender community."

Shoehorning Multiple-Causation Shootings into Single-Cause Narratives
(Jose Luis Gonzalez/Reuters)
On Saturday afternoon, after the El Paso shooting but before the Dayton shooting, New York Daily News opinion editor Josh Greenman observed, "It's never just guns. It's never just mental health. It's never just radical ideology. It's never just sad manhood. It's almost always a toxic combination."
We keep hearing the same kinds of anecdotes after a mass shooting. The details change, but the gist is the same. Often but not always, there's no father in the home. Often but not always, the shooter has few or no friends and nothing resembling a real support network. Often but not always, the shooter is unemployed or barely employed. Often but not always, the shooter has some mental-health issue, sometimes formally diagnosed, sometimes not. Often but not always, the shooter played violent video games. Often but not always, the shooter was active on extremist or Columbine-focused chat boards or had a noticeable interest in or obsession with previous mass shootings. Often but not always, the shooter has gotten in trouble in school or has been kicked out of school.
And then in every single case, when the shooter leaves some sort of message, it reveals he has convinced himself that he is the real victim of powerful forces beyond his control, and that the only remaining option he sees for defiance is shooting as many random people as possible in a public place. And in every single case, the shooter manages to get his hands on a gun — sometimes legally purchasing them, sometimes stealing them or taking them from someone else.
Only a handful of those who play violent video games become mass shooters, and the same is true for those without a father in the home, loners, the unemployed or under-employed, those with mental-health issues, those with discipline issues at school, or gun owners. But if enough of those traits are found in the same individual, we have a formula for trouble.
In the coming days, you're going to hear a lot of fruitless arguments about which ideological side is responsible for these monsters.
The El Paso shooter's manifesto describes America being taken over by "unchecked corporations," "invaders who have close to the highest birthrate in America," and "our lifestyle is destroying the environment of this country," and describes his attack as "a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas."
The Dayton shooter's social media history described himself as, "he/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist / i'm going to hell and i'm not coming back." He wrote on Twitter that he would happily vote for Democrat Elizabeth Warren, praised Satan, was upset about the 2016 presidential election results, and added, "I want socialism, and i'll [sic] not wait for the idiots to finally come round to understanding."
Stay Updated with Morning Jolt
A guided tour of the news and politics driving the day, by Jim Geraghty.
Then again, his expression of support for Warren seems pretty immaterial in assessing his character compared to this:
Dayton 24/7 Now spoke with other classmates of [the shooter] who said he was expelled from school after officials found a notebook where he reportedly wrote a list of people who he wanted to rape, kill and skin their bodies. The classmate we spoke with said Betts was supposed to write a letter of apology to the people on the list. After being expelled, Betts was allowed back to school, according to the classmate.
(Really? This is how schools are handling a student who threatens to rape, kill, and skin the bodies of other students? Readmittance after a letter of apology? How safe would you feel sending your children to that school knowing they handled this kind of a threat this way?)
The ideological leanings of the shooters don't matter nearly as much as their conclusion that they are justified in trying to kill lots and lots of people. You're free to believe whatever kooky stuff you want; you're not allowed to conclude that your kooky beliefs justify violence to others.
Over the weekend, Twitter commentator Kilgore Trout offered an extreme option: Authorities can determine who posts on boards that celebrate mass shootings or troll about them, and they should charge them as accessories to the crime. (Profanity warning at the link; the term for posting memes and other messages celebrating, promoting, and encouraging mass shooters is a four-letter word.) Cleaning up his language a bit, his recommendation is. . .
You're not going to fix the problem one white nationalist ****poster at a time. their networks need to be destroyed by putting them in constant fear that their next ****post body count meme is going to be the one that sends the feds to their door. Yes, this is a government action deliberately designed to suppress speech, and no, slyly conspiring to commit acts of terror in broad daylight on 8chan is not protected speech after the acts of terror are no longer hypotheticals. This is what we'd advocate for if ISIS set up shop in America and created a bunch of one-man splinter cells ready to activate at any moment. No one would bat an eye at arresting the accomplices – it's just less recognizable as white nationalist ****posting. if you want to share ****posts about shooting the [offensive term for Latinos] and gassing the Jews, go right ahead, no one's stopping you. But if one of your ****post buddies you go back and forth with on 8chan then goes out and does it, yeah, you should be good and[in deep trouble].
Earlier this year, Michelle Carter was sentenced to 15 months in jail for involuntary manslaughter charges, brought after she sent "hundreds" of texts to her boyfriend encouraging him to kill himself. She was 17 when her 18-year-old boyfriend killed himself through carbon monoxide poisoning.
In this particular case, an effort to shut down the message boards may be moot: "A San Francisco-based Web company announced Sunday it would no longer provide services to 8chan, a website notorious for hosting lawless message boards where manifestos have appeared before mass shootings." Those who want to post and read these sorts of messages will probably find some other one.
I find the idea of pressing charges against those who encourage mass shootings uncomfortably appealing, even though it amounts to the government arresting people and charging them with crimes for what they write on the Internet. Maybe this just reflects an exhaustion with "trolling" culture. If you spend a significant amount of time online — particularly on Twitter — you've probably put up with more abuse than your ever imagined, often racist or anti-Semitic and more than vaguely threatening. The vast majority of us think of ourselves as a First Amendment supporters, but perhaps you can only be sent "Trump's gonna put you in the ovens" memes so many times before you start thinking, "to hell with this, if this guy sending me this message is such a big fan of fascism, let's have the government throw his butt in jail for what he posts and see if he likes it so much then."
The editors call for a broad national effort to "crush this evil."
President Trump, a man who is comfortable using his bully pulpit for the most frivolous of reasons, should take the time to condemn these actions repeatedly and unambiguously, in both general and specific terms. Simultaneously, the president should work with Congress to devote more resources to infiltrating, tracking, and foiling nascent plots (during the 1940s, the KKK was partly destroyed by a radio show that weaponized insider information against it), and he should instruct the federal government to initiate an information campaign against white-supremacist violence in much the same way as it has conducted crusades against drunk driving, human trafficking, and domestic violence. Just as the government must not react to these incidents by abridging the Second Amendment or the Fourth Amendment, obviously the First Amendment's crucial protections must also remain intact. But where action is consistent with the law — there is no prohibition on monitoring hotbeds of radicalism, nor against punishing those who plan or incite violence — it must be vigorously taken.
Some folks hoped that after these stomach-turning abominable terrorist acts, President Trump would "call out white supremacist terrorism by name. He needs to take a break from Twitter trolling for several days at least. We need unifying, determined, presidential leadership from him."
This morning, Trump offered to support universal background checks if they're attached to immigration reform.
The president also contended that the shooters were driven by outrage over news coverage, and that it was the responsibility of the media to watch what it says, lest it drive someone to commit mass murder in the name of stopping an invasion by immigrants: "The Media has a big responsibility to life and safety in our Country. Fake News has contributed greatly to the anger and rage that has built up over many years. News coverage has got to start being fair, balanced and unbiased, or these terrible problems will only get worse!"
It is August 2019. I think it's long overdue for people to give up on the hope that Donald Trump is going to become a different person or act differently than he has before.
As the president attempts to negotiate his preferred immigration policies in exchange for "background checks," it is worth recalling that neither of these shooters had a criminal record that barred them from purchasing firearms. We can fairly ask whether one of the shooter's threats to rape, kill, and wear the skin of his high school classmates should have generated some sort of criminal charge or an involuntary stay at a mental health facility that would have barred him from legally purchasing a firearm.
ADDENDA: Sorry, no jokes today. Let's get through today with no more jaw-dropping tragedies and we'll try again tomorrow.

Dans les arts martiaux, l'endurcissement désigne des méthodes ou exercices de préparation physique visant à réduire les douleurs et blessures liées au combat ou à l'entraînement. L'endurcissement désigne notamment :

 la désensibilisation partielle à la douleur provoquée par les coups, les écrasements et les frottements, sur différentes parties du corps (mains, avant-bras, tibias…).
 le renforcement et l'épaississement de la peau (épiderme), et notamment la création de cals (phalanges, coudes, pieds).
 le renforcement de la structure osseuse (stimulation de l'activité ostéoblastique) de certains membres (mains, tibias).

Le travail d'endurcissement peut conduire à des blessures et des séquelles physiques ; dont notamment des micro-fractures osseuses (fracture de fatigue) et des rhumatismes articulaires.

Les méthodes d'endurcissement sont variées et dépendent des objectifs et membres visés. Quelques exemples :
 Pour les mains et doigts : frappes contre différents supports ou matériaux : dans l'eau, sur des sacs de riz, gravier, makiwara, punching ball, supports en bois, etc. Pompes sur les poings ou les doigts.
 Pour les tibias : musculation des mollets, travail avec un sac de frappe de façon progressive.
 Frappes répétées du corps et des membres avec des baguettes souples ou dures

Reflect on What Families Have Accomplished in 2018
By Luz Vega-Marquis
https://www.caseygrants.org/who-we-are/presidents-corner/reflect-on-what-families-have-accomplished-in-2018/
As we spend time with loved ones this holiday season, it is fitting to reflect on what families have accomplished in 2018. People of all backgrounds succeeded in both big and small ways by working across boundaries and nurturing a movement of low-income families.
Election 2018 was a big event for families. While the results were mixed, we heard the voices of families loud and clear. Families showed up and voted, making their choices known and contributing to tight candidate races across the country. One thing emerged for me – inspirational change. We know that true democratic power is found in communities, and it comes from families.
One major election victory for the country was Amendment 4 in Florida. Through the power of communities, about 1.4 million U.S. citizens regained their right to vote with its passage. It illustrates diverse families finding common ground – in this case, voting in the world's strongest democracy – and organizing around it.
The Amendment 4 victory, led by the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and a host of allies, marks the largest expansion of voting rights in the U.S. since 1971. It overturns changes to the Florida Constitution that were made shortly after the U.S. Civil War. It increases the possibility of future policy changes for families in the country's third most populous state.
FRRC's ability to organize and successfully maneuver a campaign to get this issue on the ballot and win the votes demonstrates how Marguerite Casey Foundation invests in grantees, families and communities – and stands with them for the long haul.
In January, when lawmakers are sworn into office in Congress, we will see greater diversity. We'll have a record number of women – at least 125 – serving as lawmakers in Congress, according to the Center for American Women and Politics. We'll also have representatives from Native American, LGBTQ and Muslim communities. In Illinois, Jesus "Chuy" Garcia, former executive director of Enlace Chicago, won his bid to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. This is another triumph for families, as elected leaders are more representative of diverse communities.
While there was progress in 2018, we know 2019 will be important for grantees and families. I expect to see increased organizing for democracy, equity and families. We'll see greater civic engagement and more families using their voices and votes in Election 2020.
Between now and then, a fair and accurate Census 2020 remains a concern for all families. The U.S. Constitution calls for the full counting of all people on U.S. soil in the decennial census. Its results are used in political redistricting, setting policies and spending billions of public and philanthropic dollars. Accuracy matters.
Movement building does not occur every two or four years, as midterm and presidential elections do. It takes place daily. I am proud Marguerite Casey Foundation remains a steadfast partner with low-income families and community organizations. Our model of multiyear, sizable, general operating grants and listening to family reflects our cornerstone commitment.
As this year comes to an end, it is clear that positive change can be accomplished. It takes work, but it is meaningful. Its results are priceless. What we do for our loved ones, our communities and our country is worth every bit of our effort. This is where we belong together.
As we give thanks this holiday season, I wish you and your family much joy and good health.

This is a soup for the height of summer, when tomatoes are abundant and perectly ripe.
Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, until the rice is tender. Remove the herb sprig. Carefully ladle the coup into a blender (I used an immersion blender) not more than 1/3 full. Pass the pureed soup through a medium strainer to remove skins and seeds (I skipped this part). Taste for sale. Add more water if the soup is too thick.
