Parag Tandel on his sculptures and installations.
Parag Tandel is a thoughtful and concerned artist who is involved in many nature and social awareness programs. His work is not only an expression of first hand experience of the society from where he hails (he belongs to fishermen folk from Thane, near Mumbai) but also his everyday travel experiences. His site-based works also deal with serious issues of destruction and apartheid behavior against the victims of nature and poverty. In one of the installation he also highlights on innocent beliefs of people which can also be termed as blind belief by intellectuals. But whatever it is, it the faith of people that he highlights. I spoke to him on almost ten of his sculptures and installation and he justified every work with relevant reason. I wish to give the account in his own words that magnify his say.
JK: Tell us about your sculpture and installations.
P. T: I established my self as an artist in 2005 and since then involved myself in various visual art expressions. Since beginning I am interested in sculpture and installations based on meticulous observation and research. My sculptures and site specific installations are the social dialogues and globally concerned topics. I aim to bring to notice public ignorance towards society and nature and its severe effects on every living being on the earth be it flora, fauna or human beings. For me "Concept is common but creating it in my own language of image is very important ". As I grew up and was drawn in complexity of society and its environs; I became mentally and physically mature and realized the gradual but obvious changes in me. I found the Art as the only way to express my concern and passion. I became instinctive and understood that art is not just for expression of beauty but for the social cause too; developing concern and awareness for environment around us and started experimenting in various mediums. I was also lucky to be successful in actually presenting my imagination into reality and making use of commonly found, low or no cost materials like, wood, rubber, clay which are many a times discarded materials or objects in junk yard, since I believe in showcasing my concept in minimum cost and simplicity.
My sculptures are the first hand experiences that I have while at home, with family and friends or even out there in vast surroundings of my social environs. These all give an artistic expression to my creations. My confidence in my imagination initially resulted in two exhibitions called Pregnant Room 1' and 'Pregnant Room -2' respectively. In pregnant room – 1 I have dealt with the experience of walking and excessive walking that leads to blister on feet. I have applied reverse theory on floor that, because of constant walking on it, it gets blisters on its surface. I have specifically kept in mind the busiest platform of CST railway platform, which had worn out and is now modified. I applied the human character of developing blisters due to constant walking for long hours to this inanimate platform which has been used by commuters and goods carriers on railway platforms since very long time. In this Wood, Rubber, FRP combines to create sculpture laid on the floor. Through this air bubbled rubber sheet that lay on the floor, I wanted the visitors to experience the touch of sensitive and frail blisters and so let them walk by stamping on these protrudes. But even the thought of it being skin and blisters prevented some of them from walking on it. I think this was the real success of my creation to produce the desired effect in minds of observers.
People have reviewed these sculptures as familiar and enigmatic which are also simple and complex at the same time. I am happy with there feedback as many a times they are true to my intention of creations. There is a step beyond self-expression, a social consciousness as generally I suppose Art can instill a sense of connectivity to our environment. Sculpture can interconnect the realms of art, science, nature and humanity.
these rice flour breads and selling it to earn money for family. Though we had a family profession of fishing, due to worst conditions in this field, my mother and other our folk women were compelled to leave this profession and adopt the very different way of earning means. . It was strange that a (bread) roti was sold to earn daily (bread) roti.
Pregnant Room 2 continues as a part of In Pregnant Room 2: III Sculptural Installation, I introduced injections & hairclips with wheat flour (rotis) incased in resin, which symbolically signifies the modern method of Botox injection to increase beauty and hide the growing age and real bread which is actually helpful in being healthy and strong. But modern day elites prefer Botox instead of natural food. In pregnant room-2 V Moths around tube light which I daily experienced in my studio which is besides mangrove forest, whole year moths hover in my studio this was just an experience but I used materials which were at hand and around my daily life to share this experience. Pregnant Room 1: V is a Stoneware sculpture presenting violent city and its grueling pressures, and the fragile medium (stoneware) creates sound in it.
tobacco or chain smoking) is an installation based on this fearful personal experience.
point of view. In 'Big Catch', I have employed background of fishing community and my family business.I have worked using the garbage or junk items that loiter in the junk yards or are randomly found on streets and in neighbor hood. In pregnant room - 2 -I I used Silicon rubber and discarded, worn out nylon fishing net. This fishing net seems to be allergic to the pollution of toxics poured in the by humans in sea. The blistered texture for the catch from the sea is developed using bubble rubber sheet and amoeba shape hanging on the wall hooked in a nail.
house or commercial premises to ward off evil. It has always fascinated me that a security can come so cheap and considered powerful without any arms and ammunition for safety. And interestingly, every kind of person either illiterate or qualified, use this abstract, unpatented method of security and protection. In 2009 I was invited for a site specific workshop 'Sandarbh' in Paratpur, Rajasthan,India. Here houses were ruined due to heavy rainfall. One of the houses was in debris as the family hadleft it during the calamity. Though Government was responsible to rehabilitate them and give aid for reconstruction of house, no one and for that matter not even the local municipal office took heed of it. This was an injustice and sad state which inspired me to use this site as an eye opener towards the lethargic and careless attitude, so, as a project called "Completion of Incomplete" I cleaned the whole tenement house and rearranged everything around the house, applied cow dung and soil to makes wall better and stand and make it visible to viewers and bring to notice and make them ponder whose fault was it exactly? Natural or man imposed? Basically I like to handle the social issues and problems which do not have any specific individual creator but society and nature as whole. I also share this with thoughtful minds as I conduct workshops and brain-storming sessions to create awareness towards our environment and society that we live in.
Q: How would you like to enhance your work?
P.T: I would like to advent into varied communities and cultures, know the positives and negatives around the globe and present them in my works sometimes simply for visual delight and mostly to develop concern and awareness.
PK: Wish you success in all your noble plans!

Home funny How HONMA Golf Poached Justin Rose Away From TaylorMade For 2019
How HONMA Golf Poached Justin Rose Away From TaylorMade For 2019
GolfCentralDaily at 9:59 AM funny,
Justin Rose, the world's number one player, for this week at least, is leaving TaylorMade and will be using HONMA clubs for the 2019 season. No I'm serious!
So how did this happen? How did a little known Japanese brand poach Rose away from his equipment sponsor of 20 years?
Let's start with Honma. The name comes from the Honma brothers who started making clubs in the 1959 in Japan. The company went tits up in 2005 but were bought up by Chinese hairdrying magnate "Mr Liu" (yep hangover-esque) nine years ago and went public on the Hong Kong stock market in 2016. Known as a "luxury" brand in Asia they now average sales of $250 million.
Since 2016 Honma have taken on a large number of ex TaylorMade staff. There's former TaylorMade big boss for 14 years Mark King, a long time supporter of Rose through bad times and good. King will head up Honma in America in 2019.
Other former TaylorMade high earners to fly the coup and join Honma are Jeff Letorneau, John Kawaja and Tom Cismoski. All in all it makes quite a team.
And then there's the money!! Tiger Woods' manager Mark Steinberg is also Justin Rose's agent and he is sure to have agreed a sweet deal.
That leaves TaylorMade left with just a few names.....Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy. Don't feel too bad for them!!

Man's brutally honest list goes viral
by Rhian Deutrom
A man's list of 38 life lessons has gone viral after he posted it to Twitter this week to mark his 38th birthday.
Declan Cashin, who lives in London, took to Twitter on Monday, telling his 29,000 followers he had compiled a list of things he had "learned or learned to accept" in his life.
From removing your backpack on crowded public transport to helping out friends with children (even when they say they've got it under control), Declan's list has been circulated around the world, with thousands of people describing it as "inspirational", "hilarious" and incredibly relatable.
Declan - who works for Twitter - joked he was throwing his list into the Twittersphere for the "enjoyment, mockery, trolling and contemplation" of the platform's users.
But what he didn't realise was his "brilliant" words of wisdom would resonate with people everywhere.
He posted a series of screenshots from an iPhone notes page, where he had jotted down his 38 points.
The list was peppered with practical tips like, "Try to be on time for things", "Take your backpack off on busy trains" and "Stop avoiding the dentist".
Declan's list has attracted thousands of retweets, likes and comments. Picture: Twitter/DeclanCashin
Declan also encouraged people to "Get a therapist, if you can."
"Even if you think you don't need one. Especially if you think you don't need one."
He warned friends with kids "need your help".
"Don't believe them when they insist they have it all under control," he wrote.
"They're exhausted. Offer to babysit."
Tip #23 on Declan's list was a major crowd-pleaser: "Dogs should be compulsory on public transport during the morning commute."
The list featured simple life tips. Picture: Twitter/DeclanCashin
Many of his tips are funny, like tip #12: "Nobody is having as much sex as you think they are." Or tip #14: "Comparing yourself to others is a mental health catastrophe."
In tip #37, Declan exclaimed "Naps are f***ing great. Embrace them."
Some of the Irish national's life lessons are also brutally honest, like tip #20: "New Year's Eve is always terrible."
"Go out on December 30, if you must, and then spend December 31 doing nothing," he wrote.
Declan said in his 38 years on earth, he had also learned the importance of appreciating "good bosses" and planning holidays in warm destinations.
But his comprehensive list also delved into deeper waters, featuring reflections on more serious issues like mental health, his father's passing and relationships - topics that resonated with people around the world who described his take on the world as "quite beautiful".
Declan wrote he had only learned to cook in his 30s, was resigned to walking away from books and TV shows he didn't like and was OK with taking antidepressants.
"My default position in life has been: have low expectations, then you can never be disappointed," he wrote.
"Won't lie, it's not a great approach to life.
"It'll keep you safe and cynical, but that's about all."
Dogs should be compulsory on public transport. Picture: Twitter/DeclanCashin
Tip #19 on Declan's list prompted a global effort to find him a partner after he candidly admitted he had never been in a relationship that lasted longer than three months.
"I sabotage everything that even comes close to being a relationship," he wrote.
"I struggle to even go on dates. I'm working on it, I swear."
People were quick to throw their support at Declan and were soon advocating to set him up with someone as soon as possible.
Declan said he was overwhelmed by the "huge response" to his list of life lessons.
"Thank you all for being kind and thoughtful," he wrote.

Als Postministerium wird im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch die staatliche Behörde bezeichnet, der die Übersicht über den Postverkehr, heute meist auch über das Fernmeldewesen obliegt.

Deutschland
In Deutschland war dieses Ressort nach der Reichsgründung 1871 zunächst einer Abteilung des Reichskanzleramts, ab 1880 dem Reichspostamt zugeteilt. Mit Gründung der Weimarer Republik wurde es in das Reichspostministerium überführt; ihr Leiter gehörte als Reichsminister auch der Reichsregierung an.

Nach der deutschen Teilung wurde in beiden deutschen Staaten ein Ministerium für den Aufgabenbereich geschaffen, in der DDR das Ministerium für Post- und Fernmeldewesen, in der BRD das Bundesministerium für Angelegenheiten des Fernmeldewesens, das ab 1989 die Bezeichnung Bundesministerium für Post und Telekommunikation führte und 1998 im Zuge der weitgehenden Privatisierung seiner Aufgaben aufgelöst wurde.

Vereinigte Staaten
In den USA oblag die Regelung des Postverkehrs ab 1792 dem United States Post Office Department. Sein Leiter, der  United States Postmaster General, hatte bis zur Auflösung der Behörde 1971 Ministerrang. 1971 wurde das Ministerium aufgelöst und die amerikanische Bundespost in eine unabhängige Behörde überführt.

Facebook collects location data despite deactivation
Facebook has admitted at the request of several US senators that they continuously collect location data, even if the user previously deactivated this feature.
In case of deactivating this feature, location data is collected, for example, by IP address mapping or user activity. This includes, for example, a self-conducted location-tag in a certain restaurant or at a special location, but also the case of being linked by friends to a photo that contains a location-tag.
In the letter that Senator Josh Hawley published on Twitter, Facebook states that they have only the best intentions in collecting the data. According to the statement, this is the only way, for example, to place personalized ads or inform a user when someone logs in to a completely different location than usual with their account.
While Facebook states that the location data – based on e.g. the IP address – does not indicate an exact Location but only the postcode, for example, it means that there is no way for users to opt-out of the collection of location data.

China publishes provisions on the protection of personal data of children
On 23 August 2019, the Cyberspace Administration of China published regulations on the cyber protection of personal data of children, which came into force on 1 October 2019. China thus enacted the first rules focusing exclusively on the protection of children's personal data.
In the regulations, "children" refers to minors under the age of 14. This corresponds to the definition in the national "Information Security Technology – Personal Information Security Specification".
The provisions regulate activities related to the collection, storage, use, transfer and disclosure of personal data of children through networks located on the territory of China. However, the provisions do not apply to activities conducted outside of China or to similar activities conducted offline.
The provisions provide a higher standard of consent than the Cybersecurity Law of China. To obtain the consent of a guardian, a network operator has to provide the possibility of refusal and expressly inform the guardian of the following:
Purpose, means and scope of collection, storage, use, transfer and disclosure of children's personal information;
Storage location of children's personal information, retention period and how the relevant information will be handled after expiration of the retention period;
Safeguard measures protecting children's personal information;
Consequences of rejection by a guardian;
The channels and means of filing or reporting complaints; and
How to correct and delete children's personal information.
The network operator also has to restrict internal access to children's personal information. In particular, before accessing the information, personnel must obtain consent of the person responsible for the protection of children's personal data or an authorised administrator.
If children's personal data are processed by a third party processor, the network operator is obliged to carry out a security assessment of the data processor commissioned to process the children's personal data. He also has to conclude an entrustment agreement with the data processor. The data processor is obliged to support the network operator in fulfilling the request of the guardian to delete the data of a child after termination of the service. Subletting or subcontracting by the data processor is prohibited.
If personal data of children is transferred to a third party, the network operator shall carry out a security assessment of the commissioned person or commission a third party to carry out such an assessment.
Children or their legal guardians have the right to demand the deletion of children's personal data under certain circumstances. In any case, they have the right to demand the correction of personal data of children if they are collected, stored, used or disclosed by a network operator. In addition, the legal guardians have the right to withdraw their consent in its entirety.
In the event of actual or potential data breaches, the network operator is obliged to immediately initiate its emergency plan and take remedial action. If the violation has or may have serious consequences, the network operator must immediately report the violation to the competent authorities and inform the affected children and their legal guardians by e-mail, letter, telephone or push notification. Where it is challenging to send the notification to any data subject, the network operator shall take appropriate and effective measures to make the notification public. However, the rules do not contain a precise definition of the serious consequences.
In the event that the data breach is caused or observed by a data processor, the data processor is obliged to inform the network operator in good time.

High Court dismisses challenge regarding Automated Facial Recognition
On 4 September, the High Court of England and Wales dismissed a challenge to the police's use of Automated Facial Recognition Technology ("AFR"). The court ruled that the use of AFR was proportionate and necessary to meet the legal obligations of the police.
The pilot project AFR Locate was used for certain events and public places when the commission of crimes was likely. Up to 50 faces per second can be detected. The faces are then compared by biometric data analysis with wanted persons registered in police databases. If no match is found the images are deleted immediately and automatically.
An individual has initiated a judicial review process after he has not been identified as a wanted person, but is likely to have been captured by AFR Locate. He considered this to be illegal, in particular due to a violation of the right to respect for private and family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights ("ECHR") and data protection law in the United Kingdom. In his view, the police did not respect the data protection principles. In particular, that approach would violate the principle of Article 35 of the Data Protection Act 2018 ("DPA 2018"), which requires the processing of personal data for law enforcement purposes to be lawful and fair. He also pointed out that the police had failed to carry out an adequate data protection impact assessment ("DPIA").
The Court stated that the use of AFR has affected a person's rights under Article 8 of the ECHR and that this type of biometric data has a private character in itself. Despite the fact that the images were erased immediately, this procedure constituted an interference with Article 8 of the ECHR, since it suffices that the data is temporarily stored.
Nevertheless, the Court found that the police's action was in accordance with the law, as it falls within the police's public law powers to prevent and detect criminal offences. The Court also found that the use of the AFR system is proportionate and that the technology can be used openly, transparently and with considerable public commitment, thus fulfilling all existing criteria. It was only used for a limited period, for a specific purpose and published before it was used (e.g. on Facebook and Twitter).
With regard to data protection law, the Court considers that the images of individuals captured constitute personal data, even if they do not correspond to the lists of persons sought, because the technology has singled them out and distinguished them from others. Nevertheless, the Court held that there was no violation of data protection principles, for the same reasons on which it denied a violation of Art. 8 ECHR. The Court found that the processing fulfilled the conditions of legality and fairness and was necessary for the legitimate interest of the police in the prevention and detection of criminal offences, as required by their public service obligations. The requirement of Sec. 35 (5) DPA 2018 that the processing is absolutely necessary was fulfilled, as was the requirement that the processing is necessary for the exercise of the functions of the police.
The last requirement under Sec. 35 (5) of the DPA 2018 is that a suitable policy document is available to regulate the processing. The Court considered the relevant policy document in this case to be short and incomplete. Nevertheless, it refused to give a judgment as to whether the document was adequate and stated that it would leave that judgment to the Information Commissioner Office ("ICO"), as it would publish more detailed guidelines.
Finally, the Court found that the impact assessment carried out by the police was sufficient to meet the requirements of Sec. 64 of DPA 2018.
The ICO stated that it would take into account the High Court ruling when finalising its recommendations and guidelines for the use of live face recognition systems.

Google strives to reconcile advertising and privacy
While other browser developers are critical of tracking, Google wants to introduce new standards to continue enabling personalized advertising. With the implementation of the "Privacy Sandbox" and the introduction of a new identity management system, the developer of the Chrome browser wants to bring browsers to an uniform level in processing of user data and protect the privacy of users more effectively.
The suggestions are the first steps of the privacy initiative announced by Google in May. Google has published five ideas. For example, browsers are to manage a "Privacy Budget" that gives websites limited access to user data so that users can be sorted into an advertising target group without being personally identified. Google also plans to set up central identity service providers that offer limited access to user data via an application programming interface (API) and inform users about the information they have passed on.
Measures like Apple's, which have introduced Intelligent Tracking Protection, are not in Google's interest, as Google generates much of its revenue from personalized advertising. In a blog post, Google also said that blocking cookies promotes non-transparent techniques such as fingerprinting. Moreover, without the ability to display personalized advertising, the future of publishers would be jeopardized. Their costs are covered by advertising. Recent studies have shown, that the financing of publishers decreases by an average of 52% if advertising loses relevance due to the removal of cookies.
Based on these ideas, the discussion among developers about the future of web browsers and how to deal with users' privacy should now begin. Google's long-term goal is a standardization process to which all major browser developers should adhere. So far, Google has had only limited success with similar initiatives.

Spanish DPA imposes fine on Spanish football league
The Spanish data protection authority Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) has imposed a fine of 250.000 EUR on the organisers of the two Spanish professional football leagues for data protection infringements.
The organisers, Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (LFP), operate an app called "La Liga", which aims to uncover unlicensed performances of games broadcasted on pay-TV. For this purpose, the app has recorded a sample of the ambient sounds during the game times to detect any live game transmissions and combined this with the location data. Privacy-ticker already reported.
AEPD criticized that the intended purpose of the collected data had not been made transparent enough, as it is necessary according to Art. 5 paragraph 1 GDPR. Users must approve the use explicitly and the authorization for the microphone access can also be revoked in the Android settings. However, AEPD is of the opinion that La Liga has to warn the user of each data processing by microphone again. In the resolution, the AEPD points out that the nature of the mobile devices makes it impossible for the user to remember what he agreed to each time he used the La Liga application and what he did not agree to.
Furthermore, AEPD is of the opinion that La Liga has violated Art. 7 paragraph 3 GDPR, according to which the user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the use of his personal data at any time.
La Liga rejects the sanction because of injustice and will proceed against it. It argues that the AEPD has not made the necessary efforts to understand how the technology works. They explain that the technology used is designed to produce only one particular acoustic fingerprint. This fingerprint contains only 0.75% of the information. The remaining 99.25% is discarded, making it technically impossible to interpret human voices or conversations. This fingerprint is also converted into an alphanumeric code (hash) that is not reversible to the original sound. Nevertheless, the operators of the app have announced that they will remove the controversial feature as of June 30.

Google Introduces Automatic Deletion for Web Tracking History
Google has announced on its blog that it will introduce an auto delete feature for web tracking history.
So far, users have the option to manually delete data from Google products such as YouTube or Maps. After numerous requests, however, Google follows other technology giants and revised its privacy settings. "We work to keep your data private and secure, and we've heard your feedback that we need to provide simple ways for you to manage or delete it," Google writes on it's blog.
Users will be able to choose a period for which the data should remain stored, lasting a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 18 months. At the end of the selected period, Google will automatically delete the data on a regular basis. This option will initially be introduced for Location History and Web & App Activity data and will be available over the next few weeks, according to Google.
Google's announcement came the day after Microsoft unveiled a set of features designed to strengthen privacy controls for its Microsoft 365 users, aimed to simplify its privacy policies.
On the same day, during Facebook's annual developer conference, F8, Mark Zuckerberg announced a privacy roadmap for the social network.

European Commission adopts adequacy decision on Japan
The European Commission adopted an adequacy decision for Japan on the 23rd of January 2019, enabling data flows to take place freely and safely. The exchange of personal data is based on strong safeguards that Japan has put in place in advance of the adequacy decision to ensure that the transfer of data complies with EU standards.
The additional safeguards include:
– A set of rules (Supplementary Rules), which will cover the differences between the two data protection systems. This should strengthen the protection of sensitive data, the exercise of personal rights and the conditions under which EU data can be further transferred to another third country. These additional rules are binding in particular on Japanese companies importing data from the EU. They can also be enforced by the independent Japanese data protection authority (PPC) as well as by courts.
– Also, safeguards have been established concerning access by Japanese authorities for law enforcement and national security purposes. In this regard, the Japanese Government has given assurances to the Commission and has ensured that the use of personal data is limited to what is necessary and proportionate and is subject to independent supervision and redress.
– A complaint handling mechanism to investigate and resolve complaints from Europeans regarding Japanese authorities' access to their data. This new mechanism will be managed and monitored by Japan's independent data protection authority.
The adequacy decision has been in force since 23rd of January 2019. After two years, the functioning of the framework will be reviewed for the first time. The subsequent reviews will take place at least every four years.
The adequacy decision also complements the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, which will enter into force in February 2019. European companies will benefit from free data flows as well as privileged access to the 127 million Japanese consumers.

Authorization of the French DPA to process Personal Data for litigation purposes
In February 2016, the French DPA (CNIL), published a single decision (AU-046) addressed to cover data processing activities from public organisms and private organizations for the purpose of managing and enforcing court actions.
The CNIL states that corporations may process certain categories of personal data, such as criminal convictions, offences or security measures in this context, in order to defend their interests in court. Art. 25. I. 3° of the French Data Protection Act, regulates the processing of these categories of personal data, for which a prior authorization from the CNIL is required. Also the prevention of criminal offences falls under the scope of this article. However, this article does not apply if the offences and criminal convictions are not related to the criminal sphere.
The AU-046 aims at accelerating and simplifying the process to obtain CNIL´s authorization for the processing of these personal data categories. The scope of application of this authorization is the processing related to offenses, convictions and security measures to prepare, perform and follow disciplinary action or judicial proceedings and, if necessary, to enforce the decision.
This authorization concerns all sectors and all types of litigation.

Direct mail is a great way to earn quality customers-but only if you do these three things.
Over the years, I've worked with a large number of online marketers who were very successful at finding prospects through direct mail. My experience with them has taught me a lot, and now you will benefit from it. I'm going to share with you three of my best secrets for driving prospects to an online sales funnel.
I send out at least 100 mailings a year that have the purpose of driving prospects online. One lesson that has come home to me again and again is that you have to get the length of the copy right. When it comes to getting people to visit a website, I've had the most success mailing postcards, tear-sheets, small self-mailers, check letters, and PURL letters. Each of these pieces is limited in size and looks like it would be quick and easy to read, but it can still be filled with plenty of copy. The idea here is that you whet the appetite of your readers who will then rush to see what else is waiting for them online.
Remember that too much can be overkill. You don't need a 12-page sales letter to drive prospects online for a free report, and you do not want to use a magalog, long-form envelope package, or digest piece to try to drive prospects online. The cost to mail out a long-form sales piece usually outweighs the return when the goal is to drive prospects online. By the same token, you can't sell a $1,200 medical procedure with a simple postcard. In that case, a lot of information is needed, and longer copy works MUCH better.
The bottom line is, you have to make sure the length of your copy matches your call to action. If the call to action requires spending a lot of money from the sales piece itself, you'd better make sure the piece gives plenty of justification and incentive. But, if your goal is to drive prospects online where you will do the majority of the selling, a long sales letter is not only unnecessary, but it may actually be counterproductive.
People don't always read your sales pieces with the care you would like them to. In many cases, they scan it and go back and forth looking at the copy – and they may miss the critical detail of the URL that you want them to go to. So, if you are mailing a small postcard in order to drive prospects online, don't just give one mention of the URL. Make sure you mention it a number of times. If you are sending prospects a postcard, you should put the call to action and URL at least once on each side.
For example, a few months ago, I sent a postcard promoting one of my teleseminars. The postcard was only 4 x 6, and it was full of copy. But I still managed to put the URL on that little card three times. If you are mailing a larger card, maybe 8.5 x 5.5 or 11 x 6, you should have the call to action on it at least two times on each side.
You might be thinking … this is something easy to do … and it is, BUT I can't count the number of postcards that I receive that only have the call to action printed on them one time. Don't assume that the prospect will look for and find the call to action. Your job is to make it easy on prospects to find the information you want them to see. So, make it very clear by putting it in the piece a number of times. Believe me, I've tested this over and over, and I know what works. You MUST put the URL on your sales piece multiple times when your goal is to drive prospects online.
As I mentioned earlier, if you want to get prospects to a website, all your direct mail piece has to do is whet their appetite. I often see marketers trying to give too many details about the product or service in the postcard or self-mailer that is used to drive prospects online. This is a mistake.
Keep in mind that your main goal is to get prospects to your online sales funnel so that it can take them to the next step in the process. If you reveal too much too early, you may over qualify prospects; they will make a decision whether or not this is for them too early in the game and may decide it's not worth it to them to follow up. Remember the power of inertia. It tends to keep us from taking action. If you tell prospects too much about the product or service too soon you may give them ammunition to follow inertia.
To summarize, make the point of the postcard to get the prospects to go online. Don't try to sell your product or service. Let that be the next step of your sales funnel.

Q: Python dictionary pass argument into func used as value I'm trying to use a dictionary by passing arguments to a function that is used by a key lets say for example:
def myfunc(myval):
    print(myval)

mydict = {'key1':myfunc(a)}

mydict['key1'] = myfunc(2)

line 7, in
    mydict = {'key1':myfunc(a)}
NameError: name 'a' is not defined
how its possible to be made?

A: mydict = {'key1':myfunc}
mydict['key1'](2) # or any other argument

So just define the function inside the dictionary

Theresa May The Prime Minister, Leader of the Conservative Party 12:00 am, 4th July 2018
First, I absolutely agree with the right hon. Gentleman and, I am sure, all Members of this House that our thanks should go to the firefighters and troops who have been struggling to deal with the terrible fires that we have seen on the moorlands in the north of Britain. On his point about buses, I merely point out to him that we should look at the responsibility that local authorities up and down the country have for the buses.
May I also comment on the right hon. Gentleman's remark about putting sufficient funding into the national health service? At the last election, the Labour party said that giving the NHS an extra 2.2% a year would make it
"the envy of the world."
Well, we are not giving it an extra 2.2% or, indeed, an extra 2.5% or 3%. We are giving the NHS an extra 3.4% a year. Now the right hon. Gentleman tries to say that that is not enough. What should we believe—what he said before the election or what he says after the election?

Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul Railroad Depot
Like many of the railway companies, the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul Railroad underwent quite a few name changes as it expanded across the Midwest. Commonly referred to as the Milwaukee Road, it began in 1847 and it reached its full length (and final name change) in 1860 when the tracks reached the Mississippi River.
Milwaukee Railroad Depot
The Milwaukee Road company was the first to build a train depot in Janesville and in 1857 built a roadhouse located at 203 S Pearl St. The building located here is the second depot at this site, as the railway had out grown its original structure in 1902. As train usage decreased over time, the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. Paul railway ceased passenger train service in 1951. This depot is one of the few structures that remains.

Q: Cannot dismiss the Search view I have a parent class with tableview and searchbar over it which is a subclass of tableview controller. Delegates for the searchBar and searchdisplaycontroller are set in a seperate class inherited from UISearchdisplaycontroller. The datasource and delegates for tableview and searchbar are handled in this class seperately. The classes are under ARC.
Hence, When a user taps on search, the control transfers from FilesListController (parent)class to this class. Now, When a user taps on cancel button, the searchbar delegate set in this class i.e.
- (void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *) searchBar

is CALLED but DOESN'T serve the purpose of dismissing the full screen searchtableview and return to the parentviewcontroller. However, if I don't write this delegate in the search class, it works properly. I have set the searchbar delegates in xib and on calling:
- (BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar

like this:
self.searchResultsTableView.delegate = self;
self.searchResultsTableView.dataSource = self;
[parentFileViewController.searchDisplayController setDelegate:self];

Where am I going wrong? Thanks in advance.

A: If you want to dismiss a UISearchBar with a SearchBarController, just use this Code:
[self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO animated:YES];

A: you should implement resign the responder in the delegate function i.e
- (void)searchBarCancelButtonClicked:(UISearchBar *) searchBar {
      [searchBar resignFirstResponder];
 }

A: Memory warnings can appear at any time during the application run time, you must assume a memory warning will happen and the view and disposable objects will have to be recreated.
We are handling such situation by setting to nil our arrays:
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];

if([self isViewLoaded] && self.view.window == nil)
{
    self.view = nil;
    keys = nil;
    names = nil;
    errorDuringNetworkCall = nil;
}
}

And by dismissing the search bar tableview before performing the segue operation:
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"navigateToNextScreen" sender:self];
self.searchBar.text = @"";
[self.searchDisplayController setActive:NO animated:YES];

After a Memory warning is received the viewDidLoad method is called again and the arrays are populated, the search bar will continue to be useful.work without issues

Q: How to get multiple physical windows for an ssh session? I have an ubuntu desktop that I ssh to from my macbook pro. Frequently, I find myself needing multiple physical windows that are ssh-ed into the desktop, maybe to set up code side-by-side or whatnot. Is there a way I can achieve this without having to ssh and type my password for each physical window?
I do not want to use passphraseless ssh. I do not think GNU screen is what I want here (which is multiple virtual terminals within a single terminal).

A: Yes, SSHv2 supports multiple sessions over the same connection. OpenSSH supports this in the form of "multiplex master".

*

*In ~/.ssh/config, set the socket path template:
Host *
    ControlPath ~/.ssh/S.%l.%r@%h:%p
    ControlMaster auto

*Enable multiplexed connections:

*

*Start a master connection manually by adding -M (master) option to ssh.
The combination ssh -fNM might be useful, to make the master instantly go to background.
$ ssh -fNM <host>

*For doing it automatically (only OpenSSH 5.6 and above), set ControlPersist in your ~/.ssh/config:
Host *
    ControlPersist 10m

With this option, a master connection will be started automatically, and the -M option is unnecessary.

*Additional connections can be opened by simply running ssh host in new terminal windows. This also works with sftp, scp, and anything else that uses SSH.

*When ControlPersist is in use, the master connection will be closed automatically when not needed anymore. (In the example above, 10m is ten minutes.)
Otherwise, use ssh host -O exit to stop the master manually. This will kill all connections to that host.
For more information, see ssh(1) (the -O option) and ssh_config(5) (Control* options).

Note: When editing .ssh/config, make sure that host-specific sections go first, and Host * is the last section.

A: You could probably do this using ssh -Y. From the ssh man page:
 -Y      Enables trusted X11 forwarding.  Trusted X11 forwardings are not
         subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls.

So, say you login to the Ubuntu machine like so:
$ ssh -Y user@ubuntu

You will then have a prompt on the remote machine. Instead of working on that prompt, launch a terminal emulator, such as gnome-terminal, xterm, aterm, terminator etc etc:
user@ubuntu $ gnome-terminal &

That will then open a gnome-terminal instance that will appear on your mac's screen. You can work there and every time you want a new terminal run gnome-terminal & again.

Possible problems:

*

*Depending on your configuration, you may need to allow access to your X session (on the Mac) by doing:
user@mac $ xhosts +

You can then undo this by:
user@mac $ xhosts -

*Check the Ubuntu machine's ssh configuration file (/etc/ssh/sshd_config) to make sure that this line is present and not commented:
X11Forwarding yes

*I think this works out of the box in OS X. If it doesn't you may have to run an X session on your Mac.

A: One simple approach would be to export a terminal from your Ubuntu to your Mac.
then all you need to do for another terminal window is something like xterm &.

In Rostock's city centre, the legend is recorded on a painting. It leads along the Warnow towards the North, to an old location.
Today, an historic monastery complex would have almost enriched the North West of Rostock. Turning off the Rostock-Warnemünde city motorway towards Schmarl, you will reach the parking area belonging to Hundsburg Park (a protected landscape). Just a few hundred metres to the east and through a path passing through the reeds, you will reach the hill by the water, where the Hundsburg stood 700 years ago.
A painting at the Abbey of the Holy Cross showing what people in the 16th Century imagined the Hundsburg to look like in 1266 is now depicted on a nine metre-long painting, which portrays the foundation history of the Cistercian convent at the Abbey of the Holy Cross. It hangs in the eastern cloister of the Cultural History Museum at the Universitätsplatz. A white dog ('Hund' in German) on the very dark picture, painted over in the 18th century, indicates the origin of the name. According to the legend, the Hundsburg was built where the dog belonging to a Danish princess (probably Margaret) once fell overboard and saved itself by swimming to the shore of the Warnow River. The shallow water of the castle grounds gives the story another modicum of truth. Looking from the elevated larch forest by the Warnow, or even better on a map, it is now clear that from this narrow part of the river, it would have been particularly easy to control shipping traffic from a castle.
It is also said that Queen Margaret of Denmark was returning to her home country from a pilgrimage to see the Pope and was stranded due to poor weather. According to the foundation deed of the Abbey of the Holy Cross, which was dated 22nd September 1270 (this date was probably falsified, with it being written earlier), Margaret wanted to thank her rescuers by having an abbey built at the site of the existing Hundsburg castle. The queen purchased the neighbouring 'Schmarler Hof' with four small farm sites to build an abbey. However, the queen was talked out of building the abbey here from various sides and it was recommended that she build it on the outskirts of Rostock, where the abbey can be seen today.
The castle hill within the boundaries of the abbey in Schmarl belonged to the City of Rostock. In 1307 it was purchased by the abbey in order to prevent the construction of a new castle. In 1582, the last remains of the Hundsburg walls were carried away and used in Warnemünde to construct the harbour. Allegedly, there are still some remnants on the hill. However, examinations of the site in recent years have mainly shown fragments from the Middle Ages.

Pure Talents Danny Yeo was the emcee for the official launch of ZomWork and signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Singapore Institute of Retail Studies (SIRS). A joint venture between Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) and ZBJ Network Inc, ZomWork is an one-stop online professional services marketplace. It allows companies in Singapore to compare portfolios and prices of talent. In addition, ZomWork will help manage payments for the duration of the project – allowing talent and companies to focus on their core business and giving them the tools to secure and deliver projects faster. The event saw the signing of MOU between ZomWork and Nanyang Polytechnic which marked the beginning of helping people develop skills for the "gig" economy. The gig economy, referring to people doing part-time work, is growing fast, as is the demand for workers and managers.
Miss Jeanne Liew, Principal and CEO of Nanyang Polytechnic, talked about how such partnerships and initiatives are key to encourage local talent we more equipped and involved in the economy; and also how this is in line with the Singapore's national agenda of promoting local talent.
Mr. Wang Nan, President of ZBJ Network Inc, shared more on the power of the gig Economy in his speech.
Mr Jason Teo, general manager for ZomWork shared how we have looked to China, where the gig economy is already thriving for inspiration.
Danny facilitated the panel discussion with panelists Jason Teo, David Lee, Digital Commerce Lead, Senior Business Consultant & Lecturer of Singapore Institute of Retail Studies (SIRS), Marc Dass, Marketing Director for Intheloop, Founder Soulscape Festival and Isaac Tay, Head of Products and Co-Founder, Honestbee.


I assume every bigger company has an internal CDN. So an API to root videos via the CDN as soon as they are watched internally would be great. Saving a copy of the video on an internal server. In our case, colleagues are watching mainly within our network. I'm not IT, but maybe this could be a way... And extra videostreaming platform has always the problem with accessing videos with the mobile Coyo app.
We urgently need previews of videos. A file looks completely unsexy and nobody clicks on it. It would be also good to play the video directly in the timeline.
@Thomas: In my opinion, re-rendering videos is something that should be done by specialized video platforms. This is a very complex (and CPU consuming) topic. Therefore I would like to avoid doing this on COYO servers.
@Stephanie: Right now it should be possible to upload MP4 files to a timeline. There will be no preview, though. You will see a link and when clicking on that link you will see the file detail view displaying the video. The support for MOV files will be part of the next major release.
We also have the same problem with the video presentation.
Within android devices there is not even a possibility to upload the .mov files or the .mp4 files to timelines. This is only possible with iPhones. We do have a lot of users only having android devices and they have then no possibility to upload videos.
As we are using timelines to enable users to show is their daily routine at work this feature would be very important for us as well. Video content is already very important and getting even more important from my persepective.
Are any plans on making it possible showing (maybe only static) previews at the timeline of videos uploaded directly to Coyo timeline.
What do you think about video rendered to lower resolution after uploading?
I see. But providing a video upload / streaming solution within COYO is not solving the problem of the bandwidth. If the connection is limited it doesn't really matter were the video is streamed from.
Additionally, from my point of view COYO should not be a video streaming server. This is a super complex topic that other platforms have already solved and so it would be smarter to use those technologies. Also, the additional bandwidth that would be needed on the server could and probably will have a negative impact on the overall performance of the platform.
Though, something we are working on right now is a video preview / streaming for mp4 / mov files so that videos from mobile devices (mainly iPhones) can be uploaded and previewed in COYO more easily.
Especially with regard to the DSGVO, it would be helpful to have the files on your own server.
To upload videos from other sources is not an option for us. We have many supermarkets in rural areas with a low bandwith making an access to Youtube etc. pretty much impossible and impractical. Yet we have to make sure to reach all our employees in all our locations. An integration similar to Facebook would be the best for our needs.
totally agree. Video is getting more and more important in internal communication (actually it is in all ways of communication). Therefore we are planning on providing a better integration of video platforms for the future. I agree that the main tasks are 1) to offer an easy way to integrate videos (for everyone) and 2) consider the privacy of internal videos.
That being said and considering the technical limitations (of COYO not being a streaming server) - from my point of view there is only the option of a good and seamless integration of one or more streaming providers.
For example we are thinking about integrating Microsoft Video / Streams or other services like movingimages, Kaltura etc. Unfortunately I can't really tell you right now when we are going to be able to implement this, but we are aware that this is an important issue.
Hey Sven, thanks for explaining. Youtube and Vimeo work very well and the workaround is okay for public content. Afaik Youtube has no option for real private content as Vimeo does. The workaround also requires that any employee needs to know how to upload on YT or V etc. pp. which is too incovenient, especially for people not working online everyday. And because video communication is increasing everywhere there should be a way to a) upload a file easily with the smartphone like you do it on Facebook or other network (open the file, choose the app you want to share it with, go) and b) to display a preview of the video file in the timeline/rte andpreferably also play it there just as it works with YT and V.
problem with that would be that you would need a lot of bandwidth for that feature. The COYO server would act as a video streaming server which could interfere with the overall performance. As a workaround it would be better to add Youtube or Vimeo links to display the video. Would that be an option for you? Can we broaden the support for video streaming services?
It is so annoying. When will it work?
It works with mp4 now. You can watch mp4 videos in the preivew. Unfortunately you cannot watch them directly on the timeline yet.
Agree, please include that asap. Please include the possibility to upload a video in the app, too.

Mannschreck, Albrecht, Eiglsperger, A. and Stühler, G. (1982) Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie an Triacetylcellulose 4. Determination of enantiomeric purity in spite of incomplete chromatographic separation. Chemische Berichte 115 (4), pp. 1568-1575.
A novel procedure for the measurement of enantiomeric purity P is derived, whereby the mixture to be analyzed is subjected to liquid chromatography (LC) on an optically active sorbent. Extensive peak overlap does not prohibit the application of the method, whereas the complete absence of separation does. In addition, the mixture is subjected to LC on an achiral sorbent. The same photometer and polarimeter detections are used for both experiments. At the same time, an x/y recorder plots the rotation angle α versus the absorbance A, thus generating the slopes Cm and C+ in Fig. 1 which result in P = Cm/C+. – Optically active samples of 1, 2, 3, and 4 were analyzed for P. The findings agree satisfactorily with the results of other methods.

Abstract Fatal Occupational Events in a Development Area in East China: 1991 to 1997: Jinliang ZHU, et al. School of Public Health, Shanghai Medical University-We analyzed 383 occupational fatal events in a new development area in east China during the period 1991-1997. Most of the events took place during the period 1994-1997, because many large projects related to infrastructure development were ratified and implemented during that period. Extra working shifts on weekends were one of the risk factors in occupational fatalities. Falls, collisions, objects struck against, excavation cave-ins and electrocution were most important types of injury and accounted for the majority of the multiple incident accident types. The most common equipment or environment involved was the work surface, structures being built, cranes, and electric and electronic devices. The most common setting was construction and most incidents occurred in construction. We suggest that the prevention and control of occupational fatalities requires a comprehensive approach which includes improvement of product design, modification of the man-made environment, safety training, enforcement of relevant regulations and ergonomic controls.


You probably know it from Instagram: the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen are irresistibly photogenic. But nothing can compare to wandering through this hillside town on your own, discovering a medina cast in shades of azure and aquamarine. Use this handy overview to explore this northern Moroccan city.
Chefchaouen means "two horns"—a reference to the twin peaks that tower over this small hillside town in northern Morocco. Locals call it Chaouen, but many travelers know it affectionately as "The Blue City."
And rest assured that foreigners have discovered the place. Chefchaouen has seen a spike in tourism in recent years, thanks, at least in part, to the dreamy images shared by travelers on social media. And yet the town retains a laid-back authenticity. Maybe it's the surrounding landscape, or maybe it's the calming blue tones, but the atmosphere in Chefchaouen feels more relaxed than what you'll likely experience in Marrakech or Fes.
The region has always been sacred to Muslims due to the presence of the tomb of Moulay Abdessalam Ben Mchich, patron saint of the Jebali Riffian tribesmen. In the late 15th century, the region experienced an influx of Muslim and Jewish refugees from Spain. And until the recent wave of tourism, Chefchaouen has been mostly untouched and isolated. Use the following overview to seize the day—and get some great photos while you're at it—in this fascinating destination.
Chefchaouen is small: two days is enough to see the main attractions. However, many people come here to relax in one of the hammams or hike in the nearby mountains, so you may want to allow yourself some extra days. For more information on how much time to spend in this region and other parts of Morocco, check out this article.
You'll spend most of your time in the compact medina. You could easily spend half a day wandering the alleyways, taking photos of brightly colored pots juxtaposed with the blue walls. But there are some key sights worth seeking out.
At the bottom of the medina is the Plaza Outa el Hammam, the main square, which is named for the number of hammams that used to circle it. Here, you'll find a range of restaurants and cafés perfect for people-watching. After a cup or two of mint tea, venture to nearby leather, carpentry, and textile shops. Many travelers say they prefer the experience of shopping here, in contrast with Fes or Marrakech: the prices are generally a bit better and shopkeepers are more relaxed.
One shopping experience not to be missed is a visit to Hat Man. At this funky emporium located toward the top of the medina on Rue Targui, you can buy hand-knitted hats in many shapes, sizes, and colors. For gourmet souvenirs like goat butter and local mountain honey, head to Plaza Hata, then admire colonial architecture in elegant Plaza el Makhzen.
After a lunch of tagine (a North African stew made with stewed meat and vegetables) at one of the town's various traditional eateries, head to the Grand Mosque and Kasbah. The Grand Mosque, built by Moulay Mohamed in 1560, is the city's oldest and largest place of worship. Like all Moroccan religious sights, non-Muslims are not allowed to enter. However, it's still a building worth admiring from the outside. At the kasbah (old fortification), you can visit a garden, a museum, and some of the old prison cells used during Spanish rule. Make sure you head to the roof for a fantastic view of the boldly-hued buildings and town below.
Next, head over to Ras el Ma spring, the town's primary water source, and find a quaint riverside café where you can pause to enjoy another cup of tea. You may even catch a glimpse of local women washing their clothes in the water. Then, follow the path up the hill for half an hour to reach the white Spanish Mosque. From this vantage point, you can savor one last view over the town as the sun sets behind the mountains.
On your second day, take a short drive to the starting point of a hiking trail. You can choose between hiking along the river to the Cascades d'Akchou waterfall, or to the rock arch known as "The Bridge of God." If you're feeling energetic, you could do both. Otherwise, plan on spending at least a half day on the journey to either destination.
Chefchaouen is a scenic drive from Fes or Tangier. Set in the Rif Mountains, the blue and red-tiled rooftops emerge like a mirage as you approach the town. Expect a four hour ride from Fes, and a little over 2 hours from Tangier. If you're traveling from Fes, consider a short detour to the impressive Roman ruins at Volubilis, once at the far stretches of the vast Roman empire.
Plan a trip during spring (from March to May), when you'll have a good chance of seeing wildflowers on the drive in or out of town. If not, the months from September to November are also a solid choice. Either of these shoulder seasons is optimal for travelers, as you can typically avoid crowds and save on accommodation.

With an ideal location inside the medina, the opulent Lina Ryad and Spa has spacious rooms and terraces with views of the mountains. The hotel is beautifully decorated with arches, fireplaces, Moroccan textiles, and bright pops of blue throughout. After a day of hiking, the heated indoor pool, baths, and hammam are the perfect place to relax.
A few of Chefchaouen's hotels house the best restaurants in the city. One of those is a medina classic, Casa Hassan. Choose from eight brightly colored rooms here, or 14 more at their sister hotel, Dar Baibou. Many rooms come with a working fireplace; all are outfitted with unique tiles. Head downstairs to enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch or dinner at the Tissemlal Restaurant, featuring grilled meats, couscous, and tajine cooked over an open fire.
Casa Perleta is a top-rated riad in the medina. A traditional Andalusian house restored with local art and tapestries, it has eight rooms. Linger over a traditional Moroccan breakfast of fresh bread, homemade jams, and fresh fruit on the rooftop terrace with views of the medina below.
One of the most famous restaurants in town is Casa Aladdin, with unparalleled views over the Place Uta el-Hammam. The house specialty is a wonderful vegetarian bastilla (also known as pastilla, a traditional Moroccan dish that's best described as a savory pie). Another dish to try is the anchovy tajine, a northern specialty.
Popular Lala Mesouda is known for homemade Moroccan cuisine, including exquisitely prepared tajines and excellent couscous. Some of their most famous dishes include local recipes like baqula (a salad of cooked greens), chardon (artichoke thistle cooked in olive oil), and sfarjel (a mix of quince and beef).
For a quick bite, go to Restaurant Populaire and grab a bocadillo (Spanish sandwich) from the favorite local sandwich joint. Try the "Tangier"—a mouthwatering, slow-cooked strip of tender beef seasoned with garlic, onion, and cumin covered in a tangy yogurt sauce.
Keep in mind that people live in this postcard of a city. Be respectful when taking pictures of homes and posing on doorsteps.
Wander the streets early before breakfast and you may have the place to yourself before the day travelers arrive.
If you plan on hiking, make sure you bring a bathing suit and trekking shoes that you don't mind getting wet. The natural pools up in the mountains are great for a quick dip when the weather's warm.
For the best view of Chefchaouen, hike up the hillside, past the city gates to the Hotel Atlas, where you'll find unbelievable panoramic views over the blue city.

Idioformat is the new word I just invented to express my indignation. I have a big problem with the machine. A big f*cking problem.
Here is a quick visual… What is life about?
Goal: Be dignified, have respect, eat well, have relative control over your life, have your talents appreciated by your peers. Be liked for what you like about yourself the most. These are all the things that everyone needs to be happy.
Condition: A total clusterf*ck where there is no correlation whatsoever between virtue and reward (assholes and charlatans are in high chairs, truth tellers are laughed at, apparatchiks are getting book deals and keynote speeches, and teachers and people who actually make things with their hands are working three jobs just to pay their bills). It's the presentation that makes you important, not the good deeds. People who have learned the hypnotizing rhythms of corporate speak, exchange code words with each other, and it is the use of that entirely artificial code language that opens the gates to mainstream, i.e. corporate, recognition. Upward mobility depends on the the compliance with ide… idioformat.
The ones who speak the simple-sounding, non-pretentious language of reality, are brushed off because the judgement system is upside down, and aliveness is a sin. It is the same old war cry of the Western civilization that it uttered as it strangled love and natural life all over the globe. Savages who use direct language cannot be trusted–unless they agree to package direct language in a commercial wrapper that half-castrates every word prior to the financial transaction.
Out of purity of our hearts, we kinda assume that the machine operates on logic, common sense, and generally good motives – but when you take on look on how politics works, or how marketing works, it's all about nepotism, and money, and transactional value, and trying to get the biggest bang for your buck, which usually means sacrificing this replaceable peasant or another.
Result: Blessed are the ones who are focused on the microcosm because in the microcosm, it's all about relationships, and doing something with your hands, and what you had for lunch. That's generally bearable, and that often makes sense.
Condolences to the ones who wake up in the morning and have to think about the big picture and where we are heading. That is painful. The only anesthetic I have found personally is a sense of humor. The machine is a total mess, and while I am inside it, I can try to have fun with the people who love me.
It is a strange ride.
