6 experts on how capitalism will emerge after COVID-19
We have an unprecedented opportunity to rein in capitalism's excesses and reshape our democracy. Here's how experts from MIT, Harvard, and more would tackle the biggest problems.

For Fast Company's Shape of Tomorrow series, we're asking business leaders to share their inside perspective on how the COVID-19 era is transforming their industries. Here's what's been lost—and what could be gained—in the new world order.
Sarah Miller is the executive director of the American Economic Liberties Project, which advocates for antitrust regulation and corporate accountability. She's the former deputy director of the Open Markets Institute, another prominent anti-monopoly group, and was a policy adviser at the U.S. Treasury during the Obama administration.
One of the biggest challenges—which we have seen exacerbated by the pandemic—is the question of Amazon: just the sheer amount of economic and political power that it has generated for Jeff Bezos. We also do a lot of work on Facebook and Google. These three [companies] are some of the most dangerous monopolies from a societal and democratic perspective. Our regulators—our government—have allowed them to monopolize advertising markets.
You've seen the sheer power of Amazon as an intermediary in the economy between businesses and consumers. You've seen them make decisions on who can sell and who can't sell, on what's essential and what's not essential. You've seen them leverage their political power to abuse workers and prevent them from working safely. Most recently, you saw Amazon tell the House Judiciary Committee [which requested testimony from Bezos on Amazon's anticompetitive business practices], essentially, to go to hell. That just shows the culture of disrespect for democracy that monopolists tend to carry along with them. And then you top it off with stories that Bezos might become a trillionaire in seven years. Is that really the kind of economic and political power that we want our economy to generate for a single person?
Whether we like it or not, the economy is getting restructured, and our democratic institutions have a role to play."
Sarah Miller, American Economic Liberties Project
At the same time, there's more awareness across the board that [concentrating power in the private sector] is a problem, that this crisis is going to make it worse, and that government has a role to play. [There's awareness] that we're going to probably come out on the other side of this with a decimated small-business sector and more power in the largest corporations.
Whether we like it or not, the economy is getting restructured, and our democratic institutions have a role to play. There's not any single-bullet solution to it: There's no Dodd-Frank Act to deal with concentrated private power. It really is about a reorientation of priorities and relearning how to use and create new tools in government to address it. And that's going to take a lot of research, a lot of investigations, and a confrontational approach to monopolies. This broadly shared ideology of "Uh, we shouldn't punish success"—that huge, powerful companies bestow great benefits, or that we can keep them under control through various checks on their power—just isn't a sustainable or safe path.
The first thing and most easy thing to do is pause mergers during the crisis. We saw legislation that would do that: Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren and David Cicilline sent a letter to the Fed asking for that to be a condition on access to any bailout money. [We also need to look] at trade agreements and see how they benefit the largest corporations and how that entrenches their power. We need to look into a lot of specific corporate actors, and revitalize the FTC and have commissioners in place who will use that authority. Same with the Department of Justice. Same with the Department of Defense.
We'd like Democrats to see this as both a humanitarian crisis and a moment when we are making decisions about who is going to have power in the economy and who is going to lose power.
Demond Drummer is the executive director and cofounder of New Consensus, an organization that promotes a vision of a robust public sector that actively shapes the economy and markets. The group is particularly focused on how the government and public institutions should make investments to create and support a sustainable economy in the form of a Green New Deal.
We had outlined a set of national projects [tied to the Green New Deal] to update this country's energy system and the way it consumes energy and the way we grow food. But back in February, it was hard to make the case that we needed a jobs program in this country, because people said, "Unemployment is so low." Well, people had shit jobs—and several jobs, in some cases. And they were gig workers. It was a terrible situation for most people.
Now we don't have to make the case that we need robust public investments to create and stimulate great jobs, because it's clear: 40 million people are unemployed, and increasing numbers of people who were employed are now underemployed. Now we can have that jobs conversation.
We built the white middle class—we can build the middle class that includes Black people and brown people."
Demond Drummer, New Consensus
What else happens? You lose your job, you lose your healthcare. Now there's a stronger case for some form of universal healthcare. And the federal government picks up the tab, because that can unleash industry to do what it needs to do to advance.
Everything that I would call the Green New Deal package is very much on the table right now, and much more urgent, not only from an economic stimulus standpoint, but from a sustainability standpoint.
This is a beautiful moment to onshore [manufacturing] in a sustainable manner. I think that this a build-it-here, make-it-here, grow-it-here [moment]—and not in some weird, nationalist kind of frame, but in the sense that we need to be able to build the things we need, in case these types of things happen again. And they will. We've got to have a more resilient way of getting [manufacturing] done. And if that creates jobs, all the better.
We will be laying out a package of proposals from energy all the way to manufacturing and food that can advance this country to an era of strength and vitality. The tools are there. We built the white middle class—we can build the middle class that includes Black people and brown people.
I'm not optimistic that we're going to see some natural kind of shift in political thinking and vision, because look what got us into this crisis. I do think we have urgency and a set of immediate data and lived experience that can be exploited to explain to folks and communicate what needs to be done and how we can do it. People may be open to alternative solutions.
David Autor, Ford Professor of Economics at MIT, is a leading labor economist who focuses on inequality and the opportunities facing people without high levels of education, especially in an economy that's being rapidly altered by technology and automation.
There are two aspects of [the COVID-19 crisis]. One is in the short term: Who's bearing the burden, and how can it possibly be reduced to some degree? The second is in the long run: What does this mean for the structure of earnings and employment and opportunity for those same groups of workers? Unfortunately, the longer-term prospects are also adverse.
In the long run, my concern is it's going to change patterns of consumption. One [example] is in business travel, which drives a lot of the money in the hospitality industry because business travelers pay full freight on the airplane. They pay full fare at hotels on weeknights. They may expense-account meals. It's hard to believe that there won't be a big reduction in business travel over the long term because people have realized that it's just not as necessary as they'd thought.
Similarly, people will be going less to offices, which means less cleaning services, less people going out for lunch, less location services, less Uber. That will also affect the demand for services. And, finally, I think that employers are learning, very rapidly, which workers they can do without. And there's no reason to think that employers would unlearn that as soon as this is over.
[This crisis] will speed up the process of automation. In the long run, that has some benefits: We can raise productivity; technologies that we were only beginning to use before, now we will realize how well we can make them work. But it also means that even though the labor market is slack—with millions of people ready to go back to their jobs—many firms may say, "Actually, we've figured out how to do that one without people." There's also going to be a shift in the distribution of business activity from small- and medium-sized firms to larger firms, and those larger firms are less labor-intensive. That's also going to exacerbate exactly the same phenomenon.
The government is the only actor that really has the capacity to act on the scale that's needed. We just spent 10% of GDP on a bailout; why don't we spend another 10% on investment? Let's create a Marshall Plan for the U.S.: Rebuild American infrastructure, invest in schools, and remake ourselves. The U.S. has essentially unlimited borrowing capacity and interest rates are essentially zero. This is the moment to use that.
We have done something quite radical with the social safety net in the last couple months: We decided a bunch of people who weren't part of the unemployment insurance system should get unemployment insurance benefits. We could do that more broadly: Make the unemployment insurance system more comprehensive. Let's now formalize that. And then [use the crisis as] an opportunity for skills investment. There are many things that we've been doing extensively in the form of in-person education that can potentially be done less expensively and still efficiently. [Let's] capitalize on that.
Rebecca Henderson, an economics professor at Harvard Business School, is the author of Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire, which explores how a democratically accountable government and a strong civil society can rein in capitalism's excesses.
Before the pandemic, a lot of businesspeople would say, "I care about inequality and it's important, but I have a business to run." It was not so clear that [inequality is] an immediate business problem. Now, it's much clearer. Businesses can't just say, "Someone else will deal with this."
Look at the states bidding against each other for vital medical equipment. Where is the federal task force [putting] the might of America to work? The political system is broken, and the idea that government should take a central role has been delegitimized. We can disagree about how big government should be, and what exactly the edges should be. But the idea that government is a good thing and is fundamental to the health of the society—that, we should not be disagreeing about.
What can businesses do to help? Businesses can stop demonizing the government. Business [leaders have] a role to play in moving our society: First, by doing what you can in your own business to address social and environmental problems, then by cooperating with other firms to address problems like environmental damage and inequality in your industry. But of course we're not going to solve [an issue like] climate change without appropriate regulation and support for the transition. We're not going to solve inequality without new labor market policies, without investments in education and health. Government is the answer—government in partnership with business.
I think the pandemic may hopefully have a silver lining. [Historically] major shifts in political systems tend to come at times of crisis. This crisis might be that kind of crisis. But it might be like 2008, where we papered over, and somehow chugged on.
Tom Steyer, a former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, is the founder of NextGen America, an organization that's dedicated to mobilizing voters under the age of 35, and co-chair of California's economic recovery task force.
What does rebooting California look like? We don't want to go back to January 2020. We want something better, more just, more equitable, more sustainable. And we want to make sure that we have the underresourced communities, the black and brown communities who've borne the brunt of the COVID pandemic and the economic freefall, in the front of our minds as we take action in the short run and make policy in the long run.
There's going to be a big building program. Exactly how that takes place is unclear, but we know doing it in a sustainable fashion is the better way to invest. It creates more jobs in the short run and creates an infrastructure that will sustain us in the long run, in terms of preserving the natural world, but also in terms of having costs be much lower for Americans.
One of the things that's true in the very near term, but also going forward, is that not having equal access to high-speed internet is a profound source of inequality. If you can't receive [your education both] online and offline, you're at a severe disadvantage. As telemedicine becomes more relevant, if you're unable to access high-speed internet, you're going to be at a disadvantage. With high unemployment, [we] want to retrain and rescale workers. [But] if you can't participate online, that's going to be a severe disadvantage.
Stephanie Kelton, professor of economics and public policy at Stony Brook University, is a leading proponent of Modern Monetary Theory, which posits that the U.S. government can and should spend and invest without having to balance a budget like a private business. She was the chief economist for the Democratic Minority Staff of the U.S. Senate Budget Committee, and was an economic adviser for Bernie Sanders during his 2016 presidential campaign.
People say, We just want to return to normal; we just want to get back to the way things were. Hang on: The way things were is why we're where we are today.
Look at the inequality. Why are black and brown people bearing a disproportionate amount of pain, both physical and economic, in the coronavirus crisis? Why is it that 30 million people just lost their employer-sponsored health insurance, and [around 40] million lost jobs? Well, we tied healthcare to employment. And now you've got people who can't afford housing and student debt.
The only way we're going to get sustained commitment [to fiscal policy] is if everybody can breathe through it, like a Lamaze class for deficit spending."
Stephanie Kelton, economist
These are more than imperfections—they're deeply rooted flaws in the design. The way that we have constructed our economy over the last almost 40 years has left us vulnerable in many respects. Recent events bring such things into sharper focus for people, but hopefully also, there's that backdrop that says the way out of this is not through the Federal Reserve. [It's] going to have to be through sustained commitment to fiscal policy.
And the only way we're going to get sustained commitment [to fiscal policy] is if everybody can breathe through it, like a Lamaze class for deficit spending. So that we can take a deep breath, exhale, breathe through it, and let the deficit get as big as it needs to get to heal and repair and allow us to rebuild the type of economy that will, to the extent we can, deal with and eliminate those vulnerabilities.
Many of us thought that after the [2008] financial crisis [there was] an opportunity, but this one is bigger. So much is driven by the virus: We could possibly have three or four years with no vaccine. And so, as this thing possibly pops back up periodically and we're dealing with hotspots and closures, we'll have a situation where a lot of industries are going to be shadows of their former selves, and some won't survive at all. Many of the jobs that have been lost will never come back. The economy is going to change, the way we work, how the consumer wants to spend—a lot of things are going to change.
The last thing I want to do is watch everything come apart, and then pick up the pieces and try to reassemble them exactly the way they were assembled before. You want to put it together differently: You want to build better, build smarter, build safer, build stronger, build more resilient.

Stacy Carter mostly operated under the ring name moniker of The Kat. While she wasn't a natural wrestler, much of Carter's fame came via her sexuality. During the 1999 pay-per-view show Armageddon, Carter proceeded to flash the audience. It added to her mystique as an alluring valet for the likes of Chyna.
In her short time as a wrestler, Carter won the WWF Women's Championship title belt once. Her real-life marriage with wrestler-turned-commentator Jerry 'The King' Lawler ended after less than a year. Carter has since become an advocate for the welfare of animals.

Hong Kong Wine Merchants' Chamber of Commerce Ltd.
Since its establishment in 2010, the Hong Kong Wine Merchants Chamber of Commerce have created a new force in the wine industry.
In 2008 the government abolished duty on imported wines, which had completely changed the wine scene locally; the number of people entering the industry has multiplied tremendously, and related businesses have also developed and grown. This created numerous opportunities for the commerce and job sectors. Furthermore, the tax free situation turns Hong Kong into a free port to create advantageous business opportunities for the locals, especially in terms of being a wine centre for China and other Asian countries.
Faced with rapid changes of global context, the greatest ideal of the Chamber is to unite all stakeholders of the industry, strengthening Hong Kong's leading position in the wine business, thereby making contribution to the industry and Hong Kong as a whole.
In 2012 There were altogether 14 wine tours and exhibitions organized by the Chamber of Commerce in China during the past year , . Among these tours, the most important was the "Hong Kong World Wine Carnival" in Chengdu in March this year, which was extremely successful. The Chamber of Commerce used the "Hong Kong" branding to open and develop markets in China for our wine industry , drawing a lot of attention in China. In the coming year, the Chamber will organize many more exhibitions in different cities in China, as well as to develop new markets for export. The Chamber will also develop different products and services, to encourage the industry to make use of them to further advance their business. In this way Hong Kong will serve as a convenient bridge for doing wine business in China. This advantage will also attract overseas investment, ultimately benefiting the local economy.

Merseyside men deny £4.6m fake advert scam
Paul Good and Darryl Shellarda are alleged to have sold hundreds of ads for a 'non-existant' magazine
20:29, 6 FEB 2015
Liverpool Crown Court
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from Liverpool Echo - Echo Court Files
Two Merseyside men allegedly involved in a £4.6million nationwide fraud case have denied being behind the dishonest scam, which saw hundreds of fake magazine adverts sold to small businesses.
Paul Good, 52, of Crosby Green, West Derby, said while he owned the three media companies which allegedly misled customers and defrauded them out of thousands of pounds, it was not him that did it.
Good, alongside Darryl Shellard, 45, of Tancred Road, Anfield, are alleged to have sold fake advertising space to dozens of businesses in a "lucrative" conspiracy.
Both men deny conspiracy to defraud, while an employee, Lee Doran, 45, of Malta Close, Huyton has admitted his part in the scam.
A jury at Liverpool Crown Court heard that small business owners all over the country were tricked out of cash by the fraudsters and their dishonesty has made it difficult for legitimate companies to sell ads.
The companies claimed to produce two magazines called "Emergency Service Magazine" and the "Community Safety Magazine", which they said were produced two to four times a year with different editions for 43 areas of the country, bit which prosecutors said were nonexistent.
Nicola Daley, prosecuting, said that it was likely that most or all of the employees selling advertising space pretended to be working for or with the emergency services, while some pretending to be police officers.
Ms Daley claimed there could be even more victims of the nationwide scam and that those who had come forward to police "are a drop in the ocean".
She added: "They also claimed that the magazines would be widely circulated in the area in which the businesses traded. Again the prosecution says this was not true,
"Shellard was responsible for the day to day running of the companies and therefore 'on the ground' in control of the fraud. However the prosecution say Paul Good was regularly updated as to the running of the businesses and maintained overall control,"
Good owned PFA Media (UK) Ltd, ESM Community Media ad BCS Multimedia before police went to the later companies' office at the Knight Street Business Centre, near Upper Duke Street, following numerous complaints.
Officers seized a large amount of paperwork after complaints were made about "sales practices employed by staff".
Good said that while customers were misled, he was not responsible and was "very angry" about being accused of fraud.
Advertising was sold to small businesses countrywide on the basis there was a circulation of several thousands in each local area, the court heard.
The jury heard evidence from dozens of companies tricked out of cash who never received any business, some of whom were taken to small claims courts when they refused to pay up.
Ms Daley added that the companies' bank account "suggests that the fraudulent activity was extremely lucrative, with revenue from advertising sales over the period April 2008 to May 2012 being estimated in the region of £4.6 million".
She added: "It is clear that Darryl Shellard was fully aware of the practices being employed by his sales staff and yet did nothing about them. Why not? Because this was what the business was all about, the job he employed the sales staff to do."
Good claims that only a small number of magazines were produced and distributed as there was no intention of distributing the amount claimed.
He said that the figures quoted to advertisers related to readership not circulation - which meant that up to 100 people could read each copy.

Survivor: Who Got Blindsided After the Merge?
Oh, the Survivor merge. A game-changer if there ever was one. And this season's didn't disappoint, as it resulted in an elimination that it's safe to say hardly anyone saw coming.
This week's episode opened with the Bikal tribe debriefing after last week's Tribal Council, when Julia was sent home. Corinne celebrated saving Michael ("I did my job. ... I made sure I got the gay," she congratulated herself) and Phillip was sticking to his story, despite Cochran, Corinne and Dawn's skepticism that he threw the immunity challenge last week in order to get rid of Julia. With the merge looming, Dawn got a bit emotional and went on a solo walk, noting that this was the point at which her strategy fell apart the last time around and speculating what the million-dollar prize could do for her family and six children. Foreshadowing alert!
With a new every-player-for-himself mentality, new alliances were formed. Most importantly, Corinne teamed up with Malcolm (and therefore Eddie, Reynold and Erik), while Phillip immediately honed in on Andrea. For the first individual immunity challenge, the players were tasked with eating local delicacies - live beetle larvae, shipworms (not actually worms, but clams that host Jeff Probst called the "termites of the ocean"), duck embryos ("I can see the feathers," Eddie complained), and pig brain. Who threw up a little in their mouth while watching the contestants gag during this gross smorgasbord? And who was impressed-slash-mortified at Cochran's ability to eat this stuff like peanuts? "He's ginger Kobayashi!" Malcolm said.
With the players once again in a Fans vs. Favorites mentality, Phillip proposed splitting the vote between Eddie and Reynold to flush the idol out, while Corinne argued to vote Sherri out. "I believe in getting rid of the power first," Phillip said. But with everyone else on board to vote for Sherri, and Cochran noting that the Favorites should vote together in order to show the Fans they were a strong alliance, Phillip's uncompromising insistence only spurred Corinne forward. She approached Eddie and Reynold to bring them on board - and told Dawn that she wanted to vote Phillip out in the next tribal council, after Sherri.
"Here we go again," Dawn said. "Last time I played, I came into this kind of information and I didn't share it with anybody. And that was my downfall last time, so I can't repeat that same mistake."
With that in mind, Dawn told Cochran - who in turn told Andrea, who in turn told Phillip, etc., etc. - of Corinne's plan to align with the Fans and blindside the Favorites. So the Favorites came up with a new plan: vote off Corinne. Phillip, who couldn't believe Corinne was angling to vote off "The Specialist," told Sherri of the plan and encouraged her to align with him and the other Favorites. And Andrea looped in Erik, the swing vote, who went into Tribal Council torn between his alliance to the Favorites and the alliance he formed with Malcolm, Eddie and Reynold last week.
When it came time to vote, the Favorites' strategy paid off and an obviously stunned Corinne was voted out. Even more shocked? Corinne's allies, clearly unsure of where to go from here.
Were you surprised by the vote? Do you think the Favorites made a mistake in voting off one of their own? And will you miss Corinne's sound bites? Weigh in below!

BEZAZZ.
July 27, 2003 by languagehat 1 Comment
William Safire's column today is neither so idiotic as to require yet another Safire-flogging nor so informative as to be cited for its own sake (it's a routine investigation into the history of the phrase "tipping point"), but it uses a spelling variant that leapt out at me and sent me running to the dictionaries. In the course of trying to find a replacement for the now overused phrase, he says: "Turning point? Not a lot of bezazz, and it does not express the idea of the straw that breaks the camel's back…" Bezazz! I knew the word "pizzazz" had variants, as befits such an irrepressibly slangy term, but I hadn't seen this one. Merriam-Webster gives only "pizazz" as an alternate, while American Heritage allows you to simplify either of the z clusters, but neither offers a version in b-. Then I tried the OED, and bingo: "Also bezaz, bezazz, bizzazz, pazazz, pazzazz, pezazz, pizazz, pizzaz." Now there's generosity for you; in fact, I wonder whether there is any entry for which they offer more variants. The curious thing, though, is that all the citations with initial b– seem to be British:
1964 New Statesman 28 Aug. 291/1 A Shakespeare one [sc. exhibition].. with most of its bezazz—pop art, wire sculpture, giant beefeaters—left by the Avon. 1965 Sunday Times (Colour Suppl.) 16 May 12/1 She.. still wears trousers frequently. 'I don't really feel happy in bezazz.' 1968 Daily Tel. 24 Dec. 8/4 Miss [Ginger] Rogers has 'bezazz', as was obvious from the number of reporters and photographers clustering round her. But Mr. Marshall.. claimed it should be 'pezazz', derived from American TV commercials and meaning something like effervescence.
The last one is particularly interesting, implying as it does a difference between U.K. and U.S. usage. I'm hoping The Discouraging Word will get on the case and turn up further information. (This entry can, by the way, be considered a bookend to a previous one on a rare variant spelling for "flibbertigibbet.")
M o I r A says
I detest Safire most of the time, but I do love the way you slap him around. It's sort of like watching a very talented boxer dance around a bag. (Bag, Safire….yeah, that sounds about right….)


I send a lot of text messages, but when I'm at home I'm often working at my computer rather than being attached to my phone. Today I downloaded MightyText from the Google Play store (it's free), and I love it!
There's a chrome extension available which pops up a little message in the corner of the screen whenever you receive an SMS, and you can click it to reply. You can also initiate a new message by clicking the app's icon at the top of the chrome window.
This wouldn't normally be enough to prompt me to write a blog post, except for one thing - the pop up appears on my computer two or three seconds before my phone makes the text alert noise. How is that even possible?


Do Yin Yoga with me. I offer you the gift of being able to practice Yin Yoga on your own, anywhere, anytime and at your own pace and with my videos I train you to do Yin Yoga on your own.
I would also love to guide you offline. Book Yin Yoga classes and/or coaching sessions in more depth.
Check my Booking's page and find out what we can do together.
Yoga benefits? In short; you will slow yourself down and you will calm and balance your body, mind and heart. We believe that everyone needs to slow down from time to time in order to feel what is actually happening in the body, mind and heart. Only when we sit still, breathe consciously, meditate and observe what is going on in the moment, can we truly move forward from a place of clarity.
Accept what is going on in your own body, mind and heart. So, even though the cliché tells you to 'let things go', Yin Yoga teaches us to LET THINGS BE. To let things be is a whole lot easier, believe us!

Trailer for the first ever Bokator movie has been released
In Martial Arts on November 29, 2007 at 1:27 pm
By Dante Scott
"Before there was Muay Thai, there was Bokator"
The trailer for the new film about Khmer Bokator has just been released and is available for free on youtube.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=vb8f0K9Jdyg
The ancient Cambodians didn't leave many written records to tell us how they lived. Fortunately the history was somewhat preserved in the stone carvings on the walls of Angkor Wat and in the arts, handed down from generation to generation.
Grand Master San Kim Saen is the man credited with surviving the Khmer Rouge genocide, and then returning to Cambodia to revive the dying Khmer Martial Art of Bokator. Today, he works closely with writers and film makers in an effort to document his country's art and share it with the world.
Film producer, Tim Pek, of Transparent Pictures, whose family endured the hardship of the Pol Pot Regime, was a child refugee to Australia. Now, as an adult, he has returned to his home country to make films, giving a voice to a people in a desperate need to tell their story.
The release date of the Bokator film was delayed because Tim was working on another Khmer film, called "The Red Sense." Shot in Australia, the story revolves around a young woman who discovers that the Khmer Rouge soldier who killed her father, is alive and well in Australia. She is torn between wanting to take revenge or if in forgiving her father's executioner, she could bring healing to herself and her people.
Both films show the deep cultural and religious roots of the Khmer society. Bokator is about martial art, but it tells so much more.
The first half of the Bokator film is a documentary, telling the origin and nature of the martial art. The second half is a mini-film, starring martial arts and adventure writer Antonio Graceffo, called "Brooklyn Bokator."
Always the baddie in Asian action cinema, Antonio plays a boxer from Brooklyn, with a bad attitude and a fat belly who gets beat up by an old man. Seeking revenge, he returns to boxing trainer, played by his real-life coach Paddy Carson, asking his coach to get him in shape so he can beat up the old man.
"If an old man beats you, then you must not fight him, you must learn from him." Says Paddy.
"As always, I was honored to play in a Khmer movie. I am so grateful for all of the email and support that has come to me from Khmer people around the globe." Says Graceffo, who receives countless emails, daily. "The actual acting was pretty funny. I play a big out of shape boxer from Brooklyn. It wasn't much of a stretch. The story is in a lot of ways, based on my own experience of coming to Cambodia to train. For example, in the beginning of the film, my character doesn't speak Khmer. And he gets a little sick when his training brothers ask him to eat spiders. By the end, he gets used to all of that and he learns to respect the spirit of Angkorian warrior."

VIDEO: Vehicle Burst Into Flame In Front Of UNIBEN Hostel
A student taxicab caught fire in the early hours of today on Ugbowo main campus of
the University of Benin, Edo State, CAMPUS GIST reports.
Our correspondent reports that luckily, no life was lost in the fire incident.
CAMPUS GIST reports that the Audi car with plate number BEN-302RF was heading towards 'Buka' area from main gate when it caught fire at the front of NDDC hostel.
One of the occupants of the vehicle told CAMPUS GIST that the fire started from the bonnet after they observed some irregularities with the gear selector.
She said: "We were just coming from main gate and heading towards our hostel when we noticed smoke coming from the gear selector.
"We quickly alerted the driver and he made urgent attempt to open the car's bonnet.
"Unfortunately, the bonnet was already hot. By the time he managed to open the bonnet fire suddenly ignited from nowhere and the next thing we heard was a 'BOOM'. The vehicle was gone."
Our correspondent reports that about four female students were on board at the time and they all managed to escape unhurt.
CAMPUS GIST learnt that by the time the university's Fire Service Department arrived the scene, the vehicle had burnt halfway.
By the time our news crew visited the scene, the fire fighters had managed to put out the fire and the carcass of the burnt automobile was seen lying across the road.
Also, the driver of the cab was seen in uncontrollable tears. It was gathered that he is not the owner of the vehicle but operating it on hire purchase also known as 'balance and carry.'

Q: how to push value pair into object using method? I'm new & doing this exercise on exercism.io, I'm trying to push the value pair into the object, here my code so far:
    class School{
    constructor(){
      this.rosterList = {};
    }
    roster(){
        return this.rosterList;
    }
    add(name,grade){
        let nameArry = [];
        this.rosterList.grade = nameArry.push(name);
    }
}

let a = new School;
a.add('Aimee', 2)
console.log(a.roster());

which result in

{ grade: 1 }

the result I tried to get

{ 2: [ 'Aimee' ] }

My questions are why the array become 1? How to push the name into a array like it should ? And how to push the "2" inside, not the "grade" , thank you

A: Your are getting  output {grade : 1}, because in line:
this.rosterList.grade = nameArry.push(name);

You are simply assigning the prop grade the return value of nameArry.push(name), push method returns length of the array, which in your case is 1.
To get the desired result, change this line to :
 nameArry.push(name);
 this.rosterList[grade] = nameArry;

A: You need to check if the key exist, and then either push or assign the value, like this, where you use the bracket notation, this.rosterList[grade], to set the key.
Note, when assign with Arry.push(value) you will get the length of the array, not the array itself.
Stack snippet

class School{
    constructor(){
      this.rosterList = {};
    }
    roster(){
        return this.rosterList;
    }
    add(name,grade){
        this.rosterList[grade] ?
          this.rosterList[grade].push(name) :
          this.rosterList[grade] = [name];
    }
}

let a = new School;
a.add('tom', 2)
a.add('amy', 2)
console.log(a.roster());

Instead of using the ternary operator, you can use concat
add(name,grade){
    this.rosterList[grade] = (this.rosterList[grade]||[]).concat(name);
}

A: You can use this.rosterList[grade].concat([name]) to append to add new names to already existing array for a particular grade. If the array for that grade doesn't exist then you can fist initialize this.rosterList[grade] = []. See the working code below:

 class School{
    constructor(){
      this.rosterList = {};
    }
    roster(){
        return this.rosterList;
    }
    add(name,grade){
        if(!this.rosterList[grade]) this.rosterList[grade]=[];
        this.rosterList[grade] = this.rosterList[grade].concat([name]);
    }
}

let a = new School;
a.add('tom', 2);
a.add('Aimee', 2);
console.log(a.roster());

A: array.push() returns thr new length of the array, so you can't do it in one line. But you can add the value directly as you create the array.
And to use a variable as key you have to use the [] notation.

class School {
  constructor() {
    this.rosterList = {};
  }
  roster() {
    return this.rosterList;
  }
  add(name, grade) {
    let nameArry = [name];
    this.rosterList[grade] = nameArry;
  }
}

let a = new School();
a.add('tom', 2)
console.log(a.roster());

I was glad when it started raining today – it's proper to rain when you cry.
Things are happening fast. The E-Patient Connections conference was fantastic. The day before, I participated in the Digital Patients' Bill of Rights meeting. I haven't written about it yet, but you can read about it on Tiffany's Lupus blog, Making Progress: The Digital Patient Bill of Rights. That was the first step in a critical process of developing a vital document for patients.
Today, Think Brownstone posted a blog about the E-Patient Connections conference which discussed my part in it. It's good the reach is spreading beyond the ballroom! I've been waiting for the video to be produced, but you can still watch my talk on the original E-patient Connections Ustream (begin at minute 26).
Also new today, my interview with Pharmaphorum, a part of their patient perspective project, makes a great reason to check out their site, if you haven't done so yet.
E-Patient Connections was the first of three important trips this fall. Katie Beth and I are headed to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for a Social Media Summit in October. It has so much more potential than it sounds like. It's much more than how to Tweet! In an upcoming post, I'll share a portion of my contribution to the materials.
After that, is the ACR Scientific Meeting in Chicago in early November. I'll be reporting on whatever earth shattering scientific breakthroughs there are, as press. But the Rheumatoid Patient Foundation will also be exhibiting for the first time.
Several reasons… but I guess the bottom line is that we need help. People keep asking when they can eventually help, but they don't realize that we need it now. I'm obviously not good at marketing. It's so important to me that no one "use" our community, that I haven't even done much myself to mobilize it.
So, I sit here knowing we have the resources we need in our midst, but not knowing what to say. If everyone gave a few dollars, there would be more than enough.
When funding fell through for a project, I hoped we'd have enough to do it anyway. Then, the estimate came back much higher than expected. I'm not giving up but I spent the last 24 hours trying to figure out how to make this work. I've looked at our options. And I've decided to let you know about the need and see what happens.
We will need two things.
Soon, we'll need folks to carefully follow instructions to submit some short video clips. If you want to participate, please watch for instructions coming soon.
Second, we need money to professionally produce the final product, a video to be presented at our exhibit at ACR. Anyone can donate to the cause using the RPF donate page.
Yes, you can donate even if you don't have RA. Yes, the RPF is a 501(c)3 non-profit.
There was a donate link on the RPF site but, my daughter who designed it is as subtle as I am, so it's practically invisible. I don't think anyone noticed it. Tonight I'm asking her to replace it with something tackier and more obvious.
Recently, someone wrote to me: "Hang in there. I take courage in your strength." I won't share the rest, but think about how we gain strength from each other.
It was like the time I took my webcam and turned it at the laptop. I laughed at lots of tiny webcam-laptop images on the screen. Our force is also reflected back on itself.
I'd rather privately raise the money, do the work, and then just present the video publicly. It's hard for me to make the step toward learning to mobilize and publicize and organize. But it's time. Just like taking that first dose of methotrexate.
Postblog: You may notice a recent post is missing. I took it down by the order of a certain magazine. I was not previously informed of any embargo, but in a spirit of cooperation, I complied.
Several patients are featured in the video Finding Support in an E-patient World by Mark King.
Maybe we can do a local video clip party so we can all use the same camera?
Every dime counts as they say, so thank you.
Hi Kelly, I made a donation. I would like to contribute in some way. I know this is just trying to get off the ground, but what about fund raisers (5K's, fun runs, walks, etc). The arthritis foundation does stuff like that all the time.
The Board of Directors has been working hard to get the website and the structure set up so that we can assist and sponsor such local events for awareness and fundraising for RA. If you would like to head up an event in your area, that would be fantastic. We'd love to hear your ideas.
Kelly, maybe you could get one of those widgets that have the bar graph thingy that has a goal of an amount of money, like some of the funding drives have. Don't be afraid to say how much the RPF needs. Since it is a 503c now, the operating costs should be available to the public, but that would take some research for each of us to find. I know that we want to raise as much as possible, but if there is any chance that the operating costs or project monies are not being met, the supporters of the site will dig deeper to make it go.
The RPF site has only just soft launched although we got our nonprofit status back at the beginning of the year. There has just been 24/7 work that has made it hard to get everything done at one time, as I tried to convey in the post. So, the website is still in progress, but it's off to a good start. Anyway, the financials all have to be in order and available according to the laws that govern the status. Of course, last years' financial statement cannot be published since there is not one yet. I'm working a page to make that all more clear on the website. So far, there are no operating costs since we have all worked for free. Obviously, we can't get very far that way and it will not be that way in the future … especially with the big goals that we have.
Oh, I know it just got started. Am waiting with bated breath for the forums lol! I was just trying to think of how to get some money comin in for the future. I mainly wanted to say don't be shy about asking for donations. 🙂 Even though you guys have been working for free, there are still costs involved, like domain hosting and such.
Thank you. It's very hard to talk about money because I fear that while you and those who read all the time do understand and trust that we would do the right thing, there can be bystanders who misunderstand. So, I want to make it as clear as possible. Like most charities, we are very careful to do things the right way.
Yeah, I know what you mean, and I have seen some "charities" who are ONLY after money. However, with the number of fans that you have who've been watching you do the work that you do, and future supporters who come along -because- of the work that you do, there should be no question that the donations the foundation gets will be spent wisely.
Please do feel free to ask others on our behalf. There will be some more formal campaigns coming to be sure, but there is a specific need now, too.
I have been keeping up with your blog for awhile now and even started one of my own: http://thedailychronic.wordpress.com! I am 26 and was diagnosed with RA 2 years ago after several years of pain and misdirections.
I am interested in learning how I can help with the Rheumatoid Patient Foundation. Is that something you started? I am a graphic designer and work in advertising, so I can maybe help with promoting the foundation.
Let me know what kind of things you are looking for and I'd love to keep in touch!
There is a tag on the Tags List that will bring up all the posts that talk about the new foundation. I got the link for you https://www.rawarrior.com/tag/rheumatoid-patient-foundation/.
We want everyone to be able to help – there is a specific time schedule with the events that are upcoming – so we are focusing on this first video project. If you have some ideas how you can promote the foundation feel free to email me. I'd love to hear them. One idea I'm working on is a badge for personal blogs like yours and mine to display.
Hope this helps and you approve of it Kelly. Anyone can share the need on their blog or whatever too so please share as well.
We are so pleased that all the work you have done is reaching fruition–congrats! But we recognize the need for even more support for you now, and we will all start passing the word so that you get the help to keep moving on this! I'm sure we will help as much as possible–I liked the idea of each area perhaps doing a fundraising "walk" or some other fund raising project. If anyone has any good ideas of new ways to produce funds, please post them to give us a variety to choose from–sometimes one idea will work for one area and not another! Thanks!
Done! I love Paypal ..makes it so easy! I am not shy, so I say to all of you who come here and get a brilliant piece of information or some tender hugs that was much needed at that time, send some real cash to help! Actions speak louder than words.
Soon, we can put together a more formal fund-raising campaign and a more full "launch" of the new RPF website. This was personal post to my own readers to let you know about what is happening and the need. Frequently, our readers say that they want to know how to help.
Thank you to those who responded on the first day asked!! I hope others will continue to respond both with donations and by spreading the word.
If I can think of any busy work, I'd love to have you. Probably will.
Hope you can also get some donations at the ACR meeting in November. Will try to send you a bit here before then though. Any docs willing to be on the advisory board? Maybe a brave rheum doc or other doc that has RA?
Which post did you have to take down and are there some discussions or related links somewhere?
I'm all in!!! Since I recently lost my job in the Corporate world 🙁 I have plenty of time to help! I have some marketing & fundraising experience but my forte in training. I'll help where ever I can!! I'm so excited about this becauase we finally have a way to present a unified voice. Yay!!!
Dear Hayley, thank you! You know our pic is the screensaver on my phone! If you or anyone would like, we'd love to help you plan an event to raise awareness for RA or funds for RPF or both! We have lots of great ideas but we want local girls like you and Deb in charge. So watch the RPF site for more on that very soon!
I am so very proud of you; not only as a fellow rheum sister but as an empowered patient advocate as well. You help remind me to keep on keeping on. That when the going gets tough we will still make it through. If I can help in any way please let me know. Us advocates have to stick together and support one another….after all we're all sitting at the health care round table with the same goal in mind. Positive progression and equal rights!
Keep that head up love; I'm rooting for you!
THANK YOU!! Those words are so needed tonight. You are a blessing too.
As always, you are a complete inspiration to me! I will spread the word to everyone that I know about the need for donations. Also, there is a website at http://www.chipin.com that will track donations and help you send and or post information about your cause to potential donors. It is completely free. I use it to monitor the donations for my daughter's trip to Europe next summer. My family, like so many others, is continuing to struggle financially right now but I will try to help as much as I can. My thoughts and prayers are free so I will keep those up in support of your huge undertaking on behalf of us all!
thanks – we have looked at using a couple of those but they all took a % off the top. I'll go look.
Just made a small donation. It feels so good to help in any way that I can. Kelly, you are the most incredible person I have ever known. You are an inspiration to me and to so many others. Please try to make sure you take a little time for you during all of this. I know in mt heart that the RPF will find its way and will soar!!
I would love to help any way I can- I live in west GA, anyone in Atlanta area we can come up with fundraiser etc.. I will check RPF website. I, like so many others, am struggling financially but will donate whatever I can to help!
I have experience in management, customer service, any clerical (typing slower these days lol) however we can all contribute to make RA a disease that is as publicly known as say cancer- Kelly, prayers to you (& your beautiful family) & God bless again & again! You continually inspire me to take control of my RA & keep fighting!
There is a new group forming there Danice. Maybe you'll want to join up with them. Let me know & I can try to put you in touch.

Ministerial Statement regarding opening of infrastructure: Scaddan, Napier and King River
Ministerial Statement regarding opening of…
The following Ministerial Statement was read into Parliament today by the Hon Fran Logan, Emergency Services Minister:
Statement by Minister for Emergency Services
MR F. LOGAN: I would like to inform the house of the opening of three newly built, fit-for-purpose volunteer bushfire brigade sheds in Scaddan, Napier and King River, in the great southern region. It was a great honour to travel to these communities to attend the official openings of these sheds and to have a chat and cup of tea with the volunteers and community members who have worked tirelessly to see the sheds and renovations come to fruition. These facilities will not only strengthen emergency response in the regions, but also provide volunteers with a training hub to improve their skills, and a place for the community to gather. I acknowledge the strength and resilience that the Scaddan community has shown following the 2015 fires, which tragically claimed four lives, including a member of the Scaddan brigade, Mr Kym Curnow. It is my hope that this new shed will help in some small way as the area continues its recovery, and I wish them all the best. The following day I visited Napier, just outside Albany, to take part in the opening of the brigade's new purpose-built facility. For many years, the appliances had been stored on private property so this new shed, next to the community hall, was certainly a welcome build. This new facility includes a new operations base that will strengthen the brigade's capability to respond to incidents and provide a more efficient and coordinated response. Later that day I attended the King River brigade to join the opening of the $148 000 extension to their shed. It includes a new communications room, which was named in honour of brigade member Alan Hawley, who has dedicated many decades to the brigade. I would like to acknowledge the brigade's efforts in improving its facility and I trust it will strengthen its capabilities, enhance its visibility in the community and give the brigade room to grow.

Timeline: Obama Presidential Center Meetings
Hyde Park resident Mary Anton (right) and others look over a model of the Obama Presidential Center (OPC) displayed in the foyer outside of the Regency Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, 2233 S. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, before the Obama Foundation's meeting, Thursday, Sept. 14. The foundation gave an update on its progress on the design of the OPC and introduced the community to the OPC Museum Director Dr. Louise Bernard. – Marc Monaghan
A list of public and private Obama Presidential Center meetings that have taken place in 2017:
Tuesday, March 28 – The Obama Foundation hosted a community meet and greet reception with the architectural team for the Obama Presidential Center at the DuSable Museum of African American History. Invited guests met and spoke with architects Tod Williams, Billie Tsien and Dina Griffin. The design team discussed their backgrounds and general approach to design.
Wednesday, May 3 – President Barack Obama and Mrs. Michelle Obama host a community event at the South Shore Cultural Center, where they unveiled concept design plans for the Obama Presidential Center. It is during this meeting where the former President says that closing Cornell Drive is necessary to align with the design scheme for the Obama Center.
Obama said, "You can't have little kids playing next to a road. You can't have sledding into the road. You can't walk to the Lagoon because there is no place to cross the street. Let's restore Jackson Park to the original vision and let's make sure traffic is accommodated down Lake Shore Drive as well as down along 59th Street."
Wednesday, June 21 and Saturday, June 24 – the City of Chicago, Chicago Park District hosted the first in series of meetings throughout the month in relation to the Obama Center and related park improvements at the South Shore Cultural Center. The meetings included presentations from the Park District, the Chicago Department of Transportation and the Obama Foundation.
The purpose of the meeting was to gather community feedback about the future of Jackson and South Shore Parks. The meetings also served as a kickoff for a framework planning process for a new South Lakefront Framework. The new framework plan will be an updated version of the 1999 framework plan that includes Jackson Park, Washington Park and South Shore Cultural Center. The second meeting was held at Hyde Park High School.
Tuesday, June 27 – Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th) hosted the third installment in a series of June meetings related to Obama Center and related park improvements at La Rabida Children's Hospital.
Area residents who arrived 10 to 15 minutes before meeting time, were surprised to find that they would not be allowed inside of the hospital due to the size of the meeting space. The room could only accommodate about 75 people.
The meeting was set to start at 6 p.m., but the start time was delayed because of the mishap outside of the hospital. Hairston's staffers passed out sign-in sheets for people outside to fill out with their contact information so that they would receive notice from the alderman's office about a future meeting.
Obama Foundation Vice President of Civic Engagement Michael Strautmanis (second from right) introduces panelists (left to right) Michael Van Valkenburgh, lead landscape designer for the Obama Presidential Center (OPC), Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, lead architects for the OPC, and Dr. Louise Bernard, OPC Museum Director, during a community meeting in the Regency Ballroom at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, 2233 S. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, Thursday, Sept. 14. – Marc Monaghan
Wednesday, Aug. 23 and Thursday, Aug. 24 – Chicago Department of Transportation hosted two meetings at the South Shore Cultural Center it was an opportunity for the public to weigh in on updated information for proposed roadway improvements related to the construction of the Obama Center.
The public was able to view a 20-minute presentation video, which provided a scope of the current conditions of roadways in and around the Obama Center, current traffic analysis, and proposed improvements to the roadways surrounding the OPC and other park related improvements. CDOT, in the presentation, asserted that road improvements show that travel time for drivers in and around Jackson Park will remain unchanged.
The proposal outlines adding one southbound lane on Lake Shore Drive from 57th Street to Hayes Drive, a signal controlled crosswalk at Richards Drive, and reducing on street parking in order to add two travel lanes.
Additionally, the proposal calls for adding two lanes to Stony Island Avenue from 59th Street to 63rd Street, maintaining on street parking and loading areas. New pedestrian crossings and underpasses will be added including one at 67th Street and South Shore Drive. Closed roadways will be converted to parkland. CDOT projects a gain of three to five new acres of parkland.
Thursday, Sept. 14 – The Obama Foundation hosts a public meeting at McCormick Place to hear updates on the construction and development for Obama Center. During this meeting, Obama, appeared by live stream and was asked directly about the foundation's reluctance in agreeing to sign a Community Benefits Agreement. He indicated that the foundation would not sign a CBA.
President Barack Obama points out a detail on a provisional rendering of the site plan for the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park during a presentation at the South Shore Cultural Center, 7059 S. South Shore Drive, Wednesday, May 3, 2017. – Marc Monaghan
Obama said a CBA could be a useful tool, but stated that the foundation is "a nonprofit. We aren't making money we are just bringing money to the community."
Obama said the foundation would implement standards on hiring, to ensure the community and residents benefit from the process "based on the input from the community."
Monday, Sept. 25 and Wednesday Sept. 27 – The Chicago Park District hosted two public meetings at the South Shore Cultural Center. The purpose was to gather feedback on the current conditions of the parks and what they would like to see incorporated into the new South Lakefront Framework Plan. Park District officials provided updates on recreation, ecology, and programming in Jackson and South Shore parks.
Updates that were presented at the meeting on Monday were compiled based on feedback from the public during large-scale community meetings that the Park District participated in alongside the City of Chicago, Chicago Department of Transportation, the Barack Obama Foundation and Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th).
Park District officials took stock of park amenities, evaluated current conditions, recreation and passive usage and linked it with feedback from the community.
Friday, Dec. 1 – The Chicago Department of Planning and Development and Chicago Department of Transportation host at meeting at the South Side YMCA to evaluate the Obama Center and other park-related improvements and their impact on Jackson Park. The meetings kick-started a formal federal government review process. Representatives from the Obama Foundation and Park District were also present.
Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th) speaks to a group of over 150 area residents outside the entrance to La Rabida Children's Hospital, 6501 S. Promontory Drive, about organizing an additional meeting on the Jackson Park framework plan for area residents who were barred from entering the regularly scheduled 5th Ward meeting at the hospital as its meeting room space had filled to capacity, Tuesday evening, June 27. The meeting was the third installment of community conversations regarding Jackson and South Shore parks. The residents were there to hear about updated plans for the Barack Obama Presidential Center (OPC) and the golf course renovations at the Jackson Park and South Shore golf courses. – Marc Monaghan
The Obama Center, accompanying roadway changes and related South Lakefront Framework Plan improvements call for a federal level environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as well as the regulations under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966.
Jackson Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Jackson Park and Midway Plaisance Historic Landscape District. It was placed on the list in 1972.
The stated purpose of the review is for the city, the State Historic Preservation Office, other federal and state agencies, plus the public to weigh in on and "if necessary, mitigate the effects of the projects," said the city of Chicago's Department of Planning and Development's website.
The city's Department of Planning and Development and the Department of Transportation are facilitating the Section 106 review in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration.
Thursday, Dec. 7 and Monday, Dec. 11 – The Chicago Park District hosted two meetings at the South Shore Cultural Center and showed three new plans for the improvement of Jackson and South Shore parks with many old ideas included with the possibility of different locations for them and many new programs for activities and conservation.
For example, the Chicago Park District proposed moving the present track and field further south from the Obama Presidential Center to just north of 63rd Street. The district showed three versions of the plan, including building a new track and field, replacing and expanding the track and field to include a turf field for soccer, and forming a new a track and turf football field.
Russell Pike of the Jackson Park Highlands Association reports during a meeting at the South Shore YMCA, 6330 S. Stony Island Ave., moderated by Eleanor Gorski, Deputy Commissioner of the City of Chicago's Department of Planning and Development, about possible impacts to historic resources in Jackson Park of the Obama Presidential Center and associated roadway closures, that a survey of Jackson Park Highland residents showed that more than 70 percent of respondents supported the development of the Obama Presidential Center, Friday, Dec. 1. – Marc Monaghan
Proposed plans also include the Jackson Park Fieldhouse, 6401 S. Stony Island Ave., and show it renovated in its present location, rebuilt and moved to 63rd Street, or renovated and expanded in its current position to include a new gymnasium.
The District asked for commentary on the three versions of improvements to the parks and that the public could mix and match ideas from the plans.
The plans were presented as if the Obama Presidential Center were to be built in its present location along Stony Island and 59th Street, but versions of the plans did not include proposed merger of two community golf courses.
Each of the three plans outlines where popular places such as the tennis courts, the dog park (Jackson Bark), track and field and or historic sites, such as the Iowa Building within Jackson Park will be relocated within the park and or renovated and repurposed.
In one instance a proposed new location for the Jackson Bark would be near the Iowa Building, which is located near the intersection of South Everett Avenue and 56th Street, and another plan places the dog park near the Inner Harbor, 6400 S. Lake Shore Dr.

Dawn of Destiny by Lee Stephen book review: A captivating story about a planet invasion war adventure and a man following a divine quest.
This book is a planet invasion war adventure of a man that follows a divine mission. A story that will captivate you until the last page.
The year is 0011.NE. Humanity is under assault. Hostile forces from other planets have come to Earth. Their motivations are unknown. Their objectives, a mystery.
In the face of the extraterrestrial threat, a global military force named the Earth Defense Network, EDEN, has been formed.
Dawn of Destiny by Lee Stephen begins with the story of Scott Remington, a new graduate from EDEN Academy. It is the first episode in an epic that will carry him to the ends of the Earth.
A challenge to the beliefs he clings to as he faces a purpose he can barely understand. Because, for Scott, war is more than a job. It is the spot to where God has led him; His fate. Only one thing remains.
Is it a place he's willing to go?
Some men join the war for glory. Some people go to war to escape their reality. For Scott Remington, war is entirely different. It is faith. It is a vocation. It is destiny.
Leaving everything behind, he embarks on a quest of faith into a battle he can barely understand. This is his story. This is his war. This is only the beginning.
Raised in the Cajun country, Lee Stephen spent his childhood paddling pirogues through the marshes of South Louisiana, a form of escape through which he would feed to the worlds of the imagination, strange creatures, and epic journeys.
A graduate of Louisiana College in Pineville, Lee now spends time every day delving into the world of Epic, the science-fiction series that has come to define him as a writer and producer. Along with his family, the author has made it a mission to create a series that is unique in its genre, full of humanity and faith.
Dawn of Destiny by Lee Stephen is a very well-written piece of work. Entertaining from start to end, there is no way you will put it down, before the last page.
The author creates characters that are full of life, and you quickly get connected to them, cheering for them and suffering with them during their quest to save Earth from the alien invasion.
Although he does not fully understand why, Scott Remington, a regular guy, thinks God has a purpose for his life and that his destiny is to be on the front of this war, defending our planet.
The story starts with him arriving in Richmond, Virginia after leaving the EDEN Academy and meeting his future colleagues in the fight against the aliens.
While attending the academy, Scott had met Nicole. They fell in love and got engaged. But he had to leave her to fulfill what he thought was a calling from God; WAR.
His first real battle happens in Chicago and, after succeeding in that fight, command transfers their platoon to Novosibirsk in Russia, under the command of general Thoor. The commander is a very powerful person that also leads a secret parallel force known as the Nightmen.
They are assigned to attack an alien base established in Siberia. Using his judgment, general Thoor drives them to victory in that battle, but with massive losses in personnel.
Every page turned is a new adventure, and you will most certainly read this book at the edge of your seat.
I recommend this book to any science fiction lover that appreciates a smooth and flowing reading, that even children can follow.
Please leave a comment about this Dawn of Destiny by Lee Stephen book review.
Oh boy, this looks like a promising book for my next read. I am a big fan of science fiction stories. Especially when it starts with an alien race invading Earth. Another book for my wishlist! Thank you for this review and congratulations for the great work.
Thanks for being such a loyal reader. We enjoy your comments very much. Cheers!

Q: by default, does stderr start as a duplicate file descriptor of stdout? Does stderr start out as a duplicate FD of stdout?
i.e. considering dup(2), is stderr initialized kind of like so?
int stderr = dup(stdout); // stdout = 1

In the BashGuide, there's a code example
$ grep proud file 'not a file' > proud.log 2> proud.log

The author states

We've created two FDs that both point to the same file, independently of each other. The results of this are not well-defined. Depending on how the operating system handles FDs, some information written via one FD may clobber information written through the other FD.

and further says

We need to prevent having two independent FDs working on the same destination or source. We can do this by duplicating FDs

So basically, 2 independent FDs on the same file = broken
Well, I know that stdout & stderr both point to my terminal by default. Since they can both function properly (i.e. i don't see mish-mashed output+error messages), does that mean that they're not independent FDs? And thus, stderr is a duplicate FD of stdout? (or vice versa)

A: No, stderr is not a duplicate of stdout.
They work in parallel, independent and asynchronously.
Which means that in a race condition, you might even 'mish-mash' as you say.
One practical difference is also that stderr output will be ignored when you pipe your output to a subsequent command:
Practical example:
$ cat tst.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "written to stdout"
echo "written to stderr" 1>&2
exit 0

~$ ./tst.sh
written to stdout
written to stderr
~$ ./tst.sh | xargs -n1 -I{} echo "this came through the pipe:{}"
written to stderr
this came through the pipe:written to stdout

Q: scp: why "Name or service not known" has priority over "No such file or directory"? Consider:
$ file xxx
xxx: cannot open `xxx' (No such file or directory)

Then why:
$ scp xxx user@xxx.xx
ssh: Could not resolve hostname xxx.xx: Name or service not known
lost connection

instead of:
$ scp xxx user@xxx.xx
xxx: cannot open `xxx' (No such file or directory)

If there is no such file or directory, then why trying to connect in the first place?
Is it a bug in scp's logic?

A: It's a result of the order in which scp does things. The sequence is roughly:

*

*Open connection to remote computer

*Send/receive first file

*Send/receive second file

*...etc...

*Close connection

Since it'll discover a problem with the connection at step 1, it'll error out at that point before it's gotten around to doing anything with the files.
It'd be possible for it to pre-check the files before making the connection (for sending only -- when receiving, it logically has to make the connection first), but that's an extra step and actually makes error handling more complex, because there's the additional error situation where a file vanishes between the pre-check and when it's actually sent.
