Trump: Obama was grossly incompetent
Barack Obama/Donald Trump
Trump later thanked Obama and Biden on Twitter, where he wrote that their actions just helped his campaign.
Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America, stated that his predecessor Barack Obama was very incompetent. He said that as a response to Obama's indirect criticism, that he does not know how to manage the country during a crisis.

On Saturday, Obama said that this pandemic, more than anything else, showed how many in public office don't know what they are doing. And he added that some of them even don't pretend to know.
After Obama's speech, which Trump didn't see, he only said that Obama was an incompetent president.
But Obama never directly mentioned Trump in his speech, but the current president is still trying to prove himself better than the previous president Obama.

Trump attacks Obama a lot, just like he attacked him and Joe Biden last week.
President Trump claimed that Obama and Biden knew that the FBI was investigating Michael Flynn, a former National Security Advisor. The latter later admitted in 2017 that he lied to the FBI about talks with the Russian ambassador to the United States.
Recently, the state's attorney, William Barr, dismissed the case against Flynn, but the federal judge to whom the case was assigned could pronounce a verdict.
Trump accuses the previous administration of spying on Flynn, a member of his election committee, of compromising his campaign, which Trump called "Obamagate," alluding to the Watergate affair, when the seat of the Democratic Party was eavesdropped on during the term of Republican President Richard Nixon.
He called the investigation against Flynn "the biggest political deception in history", in an interview with Fox News.
"It's all Obama to you. It's all Biden. These people are corrupt. The whole thing is corrupt, and we caught them," Trump said.

Trump later thanked Obama and Biden on Twitter and wrote that their actions were helping his campaign. He also said that they are the reason why he is in the White House.
Trump has also repeatedly pointed out that Obama is partly responsible for the crisis caused by the coronavirus, due to the inadequate response to the swine flu epidemic.
Obama Would Handle Coronavirus Pandemic Better Than Trump

A new poll discovered that a majority of voters would prefer President Barack Obama to run the nation during the coronavirus pandemic than current President Trump. However, Americans remain deeply divided over their chosen leadership amidst the outbreak that has spread to more than 400,000 across the country.
According to Politico, 52% of Americans think that Obama would do a better job in the current crisis. Only 38% think that Trump would handle it better in a sample of 1,990 voters. When presented with a choice between Trump and Bide, 44% picked the current president, a sign that doesn't bode well for the Democratic nominee.

Obama has largely left the public attention since he departed from the Whitehouse but has become more active on social media since the outbreak. He endorsed Senator Elisabeth Warren's plan for fighting the pandemic and also criticized Trump's approach, something he rarely does.
Trump has been the target of critics for his slow reaction to the outbreak, something he denies doing. He also had a phone conversation with Biden regarding the handling of the crisis. "I laid out what I thought he should be doing," Biden commented on the call Tuesday on CNN. "I laid out four or five specific points that I thought were necessary. I indicated that it is about taking responsibility, and being the commander in chief, taking on the responsibility."

Trump claimed that he had a "wonderful, warm conversation" with Biden.
"It was a very nice conversation," he added. "He gave me his point of view and I fully understood that."
Not everyone agrees that Trump is handling the outbreak correctly. The Washington Post recently published a scathing article on the White House's reaction. "From the Oval Office to the CDC, political and institutional failures cascaded through the system and opportunities to mitigate the pandemic were lost," the article states.
Strange Sleep Habits of 5 American Presidents
Barack Obama/Donald Trump/George W. Bush/Politics/U.S.
Being the president of the United States is honorable as it is tasking. The word POTUS, (President of the United States), is no doubt one of the most respected names in the world.
Apart from being the most important and feared leader in the free world, the POTUS also happens to be human, not superhuman. To manage all the weight of the world, they require the recommended 7 – 8 hours of sleep to function normally, but this is not always the case.
From waking up earlier than sunrise to jumping from meetings around the world, it's not a surprise that past and present American Presidents have had to manage peculiar sleeping habits. Here we look at the strange sleeping habits of five American Presidents.
Surviving On Little Sleep

To make sure that all the daily business is attended to promptly, American Presidents, like President Barack Obama, are known to have stayed up until the early hours of the morning. Of course, Obama was not the first POTUS to do this, but he had an interesting way of keeping up with this routine like clockwork. He never set the alarm while in the White House, thanks to the everyday wake-up call he received from the White House phone operator at 7am, after retiring around 1am.
Waking up earlier than the medically suggested 8 hours can take a toll on just about any person, let alone the POTUS with more responsibilities. No wonder many presidents finish their tenure in the office looking older than their peers.
Popping Sleeping Pills
Having a sleeping disorder and being the POTUS is rarely heard in the same sentence, but as shockingly as it may sound, past American Presidents have a history of popping sleeping pills to get a decent amount of sleep.
Img Source: articulatingideas.blogspot.com
William Taft, the 27th president of the US, had sleep apnea, which caused him to snore loudly and he was rumored to doze off during meetings. To keep this sleep disorder in check, he had to rely on sleeping pills.You can find out more about this sleep disorder, and safer treatment methods here.
When it comes to sleeping pills, President George W. Bush also used them to squeeze in hours of rest whenever he could, especially during flight time. He was reported to take naps while on Air Force One, but he may have had some help with sleeping pills. Of course, there is no way of telling if Bush was just sick of the torturous long-haul flights or he merely took advantage of the quietness of thousands of miles above sea level to catch up on his beauty rest.

Snoring Loudly
All Americans loved president Theodore Roosevelt for his policies and character; however, he will undoubtedly go down in history as a notorious snorer. There is no evidence proving that Roosevelt had sleep apnea or used pills to control his snoring. The job of POTUS is very stressful, and stress is a symptom of snoring. So, you can understand if President Roosevelt couldn't help but let his symptoms show.
Once, he was transferred to a separate floor at the hospital because his loud snores were keeping every other patient awake.

Regular Napping
If there are any benefits linked to taking naps, then President Ronald Reagan benefited greatly. Napping is known to increase creativity, alertness, reduce stress, and several other advantages anyone would want to have. Ronald Reagan might have taken this practice a tad bit to the extreme; though, he was not the only president with a knack for regular naps.
President Calvin Coolidge was reported to get more than 11 hours of rest every day, way more than most adults manage to get – president or not! Even though Coolidge seemed to have enjoyed his time subconscious rather than awake, he also lost his 16-year-old son. There would be no telling if he slept so often due to depression.

While the lack of proper sleep can cause you to be in a depressive state, it is not the only factor to cause depression. Constant deprivation of sleep will accelerate your risk of getting depressed, causing a drop in your energy level. Depression causes hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness), which was common with President Coolidge.
Super Early Starts
If you ever wondered how President Donald Trump seems to have extra time on his hands replying to every Tweet directed at him, then you should also know that it may be thanks to Trump's daily routine of getting out of bed very early. He is reported to manage only about 4 hours of sleep. No! President Trump does not rely on coffee or energy boosters to run the country, but he is always so full of energy and vigor.

Caffeine can boost your performance in several ways, but it can also destroy your internal body clock. So while you can depend on a cup of coffee to keep you away from sleeping, ensure that you don't rely on it and the recommended amount of daily sleep.
4th Amendment Should Be Protected
Barack Obama/Donald Trump/News/U.S.
In one of their recent articles, NY Times tried to put a positive note on some pretty scandalous things.
But, even with their fancy words and writing it was hard to conceal the fact that during Donald Trump's presidential run, FBI conducted a secret investigation on his campaign and its members in an attempt to extract information that could damage his chance for a term at the White House.
The situation can't be more severe than that. Using counterintelligence powers of presidential administration to spy on your opponent and members of his staff who are members of the opposing party is grave as it can get. The same branch of operatives did the following during the Obama reign in the office:
* NSA was obtaining a private date of the US citizens.
* Press members were spied.
* Data of hundred individuals was presented to national security adviser and UN ambassador.
* Dossiers through which FISA warrants that were obtained were unreliable.
Source: incendiarygear.com
As all of the above wasn't enough, FBI had a presidential candidate at the time, Donald Trump, under surveillance in action called "Crossfire Hurricane." The irony in all of this is that Trump tweeted in 2017 that he's under surveillance, but no one believed him. After the news broke out that this is indeed true, media tried to put the ball down. NY Times wrote that FBI was looking for Russian counterintelligence involved in Trump's campaign, while Washington Post claimed that FBI was protecting Trump instead of monitoring him.
The former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, while guesting at CNN, tried to say that spying is a 'good thing.'
With all of the fuss in this situation and high media involvement, many forgot about the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. If you are one of those that don't remember what Fourth is, it says: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Source: www.thedailybeast.com
The Fourth Amendment stands there to protect the citizens from its government. It's the right to the privacy of our persons, houses, papers, etc. The government is not allowed to interfere with any of this unless a judge issues a warrant. The judge will only issue a warrant if there is probable cause that the invasion of privacy or surveillance will prove criminal behavior.
The warrant that was issued for surveillance of Donald Trump is based on an unreliable dossier bought by Hilary Clinton campaign. Even the FBI failed to disclose the critical information on which it's based. The NY Times claims that FBI "obtained phone records and other documents using national security letters — a secret type of subpoena . . . " But, national newspapers shouldn't be the one advocating a government institution.
Source: www.infowars.com
Yes, some government agencies are allowed to use security letters but only in matters that are connected with national security investigations. But even in this type of situation, they do not have a permit to do this while breaking the Fourth Amendment in the process. Spying on a presidential candidate by a government agency without a court, probable cause or any judicial oversight whatsoever is not something that should be done.
Many times through history it was proven that it's dangerous to give government agencies the ability to subvert the constitution. Even if national security is at risk, Fourth Amendment should, and needs to be altogether respected.

A Review of Obama's Asia Pivot Strategy
First mentioned after Hilary Clinton's article America's Pacific Century, in Foreign Policy, Asia Pivot has quickly become a very popular buzzword among American politicians. It encompassed the new approach to the deployment of American diplomatic and military power, with East Asia and Pacific becoming a new focal point.
Mrs. Clinton, the newly appointed Secretary of State, correctly observed several keynotes on Pacific theater. More than half of the world's population lived in the area, and some of the strongest economic powers are located there as well. She proposed that such an environment presents an excellent opportunity for American investments which could fuel the region's economic welfare into the new century, and all that under American leadership of course.
She states that "open markets in Asia provide the United States with unprecedented opportunities for investment, trade, and access to cutting-edge technology. Our economic recovery at home will depend on exports and the ability of American firms to tap into the vast and growing consumer base of Asia. Strategically, maintaining peace and security across the Asia-Pacific is increasingly crucial to global progress, whether through defending freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, countering the nuclear proliferation efforts of North Korea, or ensuring transparency in the military activities of the region's key players."
She proposed to achieve this by following six courses of action: strengthening bilateral security alliances; deepening America's relationships with rising powers, including China; engaging with regional multilateral institutions; expanding trade and investment; forging a broad-based military presence; and advancing democracy and human rights.
The elephant in the room was China. Many experts claimed that the Asia Pivot is in fact just a new name for China containment strategy, aimed at encroaching it and cutting it off from potential allies. Mrs. Clinton was first to deny this, claiming that confrontation is not the only option when dealing with China and that Washington and Beijing must find a way to cooperate for the benefit of not their own nations, but the entire globe.

Diplomatically speaking, America managed to create some new ties in the region, but its main allies Japan and South Korea refused to engage in deeper military obligation Washington proposed. On the other hand, Vietnam was elevated to the status of strategic partner, according to Mrs. Clinton, a move that caused some friction with Beijing. She also managed to draw junta in Myanmar into negotiations, which was universally hailed as a positive move. Relationship with another important America ally, the Philippines, took a nose dive with the election of President Rodrigo Duterte, who threaten to expel US forces from his country.
The most important part of Asia Pivot was military redeployment and strengthening of American military assets in the region. The naval presence was increased by one carrier, seven destroyers, ten littoral combat ships, and two submarines. Additionally, the region would gain priority in the procurement of the new fifth-generation fighters, for both allies and American forces. In total, some 60% of US Navy would be deployed in Pacific, a 10% increase from earlier.
Asia Pivot strategy received mixed comments. Some argued that it was a move long overdue, like Kevin Rudd, the Prime Minister of Australia at the time. He said that "without such a move, there was a danger that China, with its hard-line, realist view of international relations, would conclude that an economically exhausted United States was losing its staying power in the Pacific."
Others weren't so positive towards Obama's policy. Robert S. Ross, an Associate at the John King Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University, suggested that such policy only "unnecessarily compounds Beijing's insecurities and will only feed China's aggressiveness, undermine regional stability, and decrease the possibility of cooperation between Beijing and Washington."

The Chinese were also less than thrilled with the whole concept. Former President Hu Jintao said: "[The United States has] strengthened its military deployments in the Asia-Pacific region, strengthened the US-Japan military alliance, strengthened strategic cooperation with India, improved relations with Vietnam, inveigled Pakistan, established a pro-American government in Afghanistan, increased arms sales to Taiwan, and so on. They have extended outposts and placed pressure points on us from the east, south, and west."
While Mr. Trump's policy on Asia is still largely unknown, the current steps indicate that confrontation with China remains his first option.
Here's Why Asia Pivot Was Barack Obama's Biggest Mistake
Published on April 11, 2018 June 11, 2018
Barack Obama/News
During his tenure in the White House Barack Obama did many amazing things. The one that wasn't all that great was the "pivot to Asia." This move will most likely be remembered as his biggest mistake. At one moment during his reign, Obama called himself "the first Pacific president." President Obama did so because he wanted to shift the foreign policy more in the direction of Asia (the economic center of the 21st century) away from the Middle East.
He felt that, after the disastrous Libyan revolution that ousted Gaddafi, the responsibility for keeping stability in the region should fall on the shoulders of America's European allies. The Libyan campaign was mostly a product of French and British pressure, but neither of the two countries had sufficient resources to bring Gaddafi to heel and stop the civil war that tore the country apart. President Obama sensed that the American public was fed up with costly Middle Eastern adventures that drained blood and treasure and that other countries should step up to the plate.
This pivot turned out to be a complete failure. Not only for the U.S. foreign policy. It had an adverse effect on various parts of the world, mostly on Europe and the Middle East.
The reason that pivot failed was that it was based on wrong assumptions. Obama and his associates believed that U.S. foreign policy has been neglecting the Asia Pacific. This part of Asia had a substantial economic rise in recent years, and the president decided that he could assign more military resources to the region. Those same resources would be pulled from the Middle East and other areas. This caused the tension in Asia-Pacific while at the same time it brought chaos to the Middle East and The Old Continent.
So, what assumption was wrong? When Obama started his term in office, Asia-Pacific wasn't neglected. The Bush politics in this part of the world was actually a success. It lowered the historically high tensions between China and Taiwan. The free-trade agreements were signed with Singapore, South Korea, and Australia. These agreements were the foundation of what's today the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The deals with India regarding their nuclear arsenal were signed, parallel with negotiations with Pakistan and Afghanistan. Some of these deals were later changed as apart of Obama's pivot.

Obama's Asian pivot did initiate new diplomatic relations (Myanmar), but it shifted its direction regarding security and defense policy. Making Asia the center of its security strategy annoyed the Chinese government. To Beijing, this move seemed like the U.S. is trying to contain their military power. Because of this China became hostile and aggressive. Before 2008, the relations between two countries were normal.
The situation escalated when the Air-Sea Battle doctrine became official. This doctrine was an effort to prepare the U.S. for a possible confrontation with China. The Secretary of The Defense at the time, Robert Gates publicly confirmed this, and as you can expect, authorities in Beijing weren't glad upon hearing this. The doctrine was seen as a plan to contain China militarily and economically and to narrow the circle around them.
The first significant issue is that primary part of the pivot was militaristic. The second one was that it even had a military element to it. The Asia pivot promised that the U.S. is focusing on that part of the world for economic reasons, but they first started to arm themselves. The primary focus on military shows a little about the economy which was promised.
The premise that Chinese expansion could be checked by the use of soft military power was flawed from the start and only encouraged Beijing to start flexing their military muscles in return, using the American actions as an excuse. Its navy began a series of excursions further away from China's coast in an effort to assert its dominance in the South China Sea, making securing the infamous 9-dash line its priority. Any objection from American allies in the region was checked with the statement that Beijing is merely responding to Washington's action.
Source:theweek.com
When Obama declared in 2015 that "TPP allows America — and not countries like China — to write the rules of the road in the 21st century" the Chinese were assured that the primary goal of the pivot was to stop the rise of China. The United States officials publicly confirmed this. The situation was made worse by President Trumps refusal to sign TPP, thus further weakening America's negotiating position in the region.
The matter didn't have to go this way. Instead, America could join Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. They were even invited by China. Instead, they refused and also criticized the U.K. for joining. By steering up military tensions, the U.S. missed on many economic opportunities.
The third mistake was that while dealing with Asia, America completely neglected Europe and the Middle East. When they took their eyes away from Europe, Russia went on the field trip to Ukraine glancing at the Baltic states at the same time. This move unsettled Poland and Hungary. In the Middle East, Syrian Civil war exploded causing thousands of deaths and creating 11 million refugees. Islamic State moved to Iraq, while the former U.S. allies in the Gulf fell under Iranian influence.
The power vacuum left by the U.S. withdrawal and its focus shift has only served to encourage Russia and Iran to increase their efforts aimed at obtaining influence in the region. Again, same as with TPP, Trump's intentions of completely abandoning America's allies by pulling even the modest number of troops left in Syria will only serve to invite both Moscow and Tehran to step up their game and increase pressure on surrounding nations. Syrian regime in the meanwhile holds steady and is closer every day to regaining full control of the country, with massive Russian and Iranian help.
In the end, the pivot failed. It didn't stop China from rising. They are more aggressive now and have set their eyes on the South China Sea and to the Senkakus. Militarily they have never been closer to the U.S., and the economy is still on the rise. The TPP is no more, while China is signing trade agreements with its neighbors. It was essential to focus foreign policy to Asia-Pacific but not at the expense of Europe and the Middle East. Now America is at a disadvantage on both fronts. And it's all thanks to Asia pivot which was Barack Obama's biggest mistake.
FPI Analysis: Bush, Obama, and Islam
Published on January 6, 2016 May 22, 2018
Barack Obama/George W. Bush/News
The politics of two presidents – George W. Bush and Barack Obama differed greatly. However, after notorious Paris attacks, Obama pay respects to Bush and his decision not to declare war on Islam. Bush managed to differentiate Islam from terrorism although terrorism is connected to this religion often. At the press conference after the Paris attacks, Obama declared: "I had a lot of disagreements with George W. Bush on policy, but I was very proud after 9/11 when he was adamant and clear about the fact that this is not a war on Islam."
Both of the presidents recognized that terrorism and Islam were not connected. However, both of them failed to explain to the Americans why a significant number of Muslims joined the Islamic State, which is predominantly made of people whose religion is Islam.
9/11 – Terrorism and Islam
Source:bbc.co.uk
To understand the relationship between Bush and Obama as well as their views of terrorism, we have to go back to the darkest hours of the American history – 9/11. The devastating attacks which happened on September 11, 2001, caused Bush to go to the Islamic Center of the capital city and call for tolerance. At the Islamic Center in Washington D.C. Bush said:
"These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it's important for my fellow Americans to understand that. The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace." He added that Muslims contributed greatly to the society and reminded the nation that they are "doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms, and dads." He also said that "they need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect."
After the notorious event and his visit to the Islamic Center, Bush met with the Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri. Indonesia is the country with the largest number of Muslims in the world and Bush wanted to make sure his voice is heard. He told Megawati: "I've made it clear, Madam President, that the war against terrorism is not a war against Muslims, nor is it a war against Arabs. It's a war against evil people who conduct crimes against innocent people."

Although Bush kept trying to explain that terrorism and Islam are not connected whatsoever, he made a mistake by saying: "This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while." The word "crusade" drew a lot of attention, and many people started believing that Bush intended to go on a war against Islam. That was the word he never used again in his speeches regarding the war against terror.
Did and how things changed under Barack Obama?
Obama's campaign was highly successful, and his selection to the highest seat in the country was a historical event and a major step forward for African-Americans in the country. In his campaign, Obama addressed the war against terrorism and just like his predecessor, he tried to show the difference between terrorism and Islam. In his campaign, he said: "In the first hundred days of my administration, I will travel to a major Islamic forum and deliver an address to redefine our struggle. I will make clear that we are not at war with Islam."
Source:politico.com
He had a vision similar to Bush's, and in Cairo, after the Paris attacks he pointed out that the values of Islam are similar to the American values. He said: "Let there be no doubt. Islam is a part of America. Muslims have fought in our wars, they have served in our government, they have stood for civil rights." He added that America and Islam do not have to compete against each other and that they overlap. On several occasions, Obama spoke the same words as Bush, saying that "The United States is not, and will never be, at war with Islam."
Both Bush and Obama fought to distinguish Islam from terrorism. Take a look at these two situations and tell us what you think. When he was in Cairo, Obama said: "I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear. The United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab and to punish those who would deny it." Let's walk down the memory lane and recall the words said by Bush. He stated: "Women who cover their heads in this country must feel comfortable going outside their homes. Moms who wear cover must be not intimidated in America. That's not the America I know. That's not the America I value."
As you can see, the two presidents have the same views. Nothing has changed in Obama's administration in terms of Islam and terrorism. And while Bush fought the hopeless and costly war in Iraq, Obama did the same in the states of North Africa. They were trying to differentiate Islam and terrorism and yet they fought against Muslim countries continuously.
"Hijack" and "Pervert"
The two presidents tried to explain that the terrorists were using Islam as a justification. They both conveyed the same meaning, but they used the different terms. Bush preferred to say that the terrorist who committed crimes in the name of Islam used to "hijack Islam" while Obama favored the syntagm "perversion of Islam."
On several occasions, Bush said: "[Terrorists are] traitors to their own faith, trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself." And one year later: "We respect the [Islamic] faith. We honor its traditions. Our enemy does not. Our enemy doesn't follow the great traditions of Islam. They've hijacked a great religion." While he was in Abu Dhabi, Bush warned: "Today your aspirations are threatened by violent extremists who murder the innocent in pursuit of power. These extremists have hijacked the noble religion of Islam, and seek to impose their totalitarian ideology on millions."
On the other hand, Obama had the same answers. After winning the Nobel Prize and accepting it, he pointed out: "the way that religion is used to justify the murder of innocents by those who have distorted and defiled the great religion of Islam." A few years later he answered: "There is an element growing out of Muslim communities in certain parts of the world that have perverted the religion, have embraced a nihilistic, violent, almost medieval interpretation of Islam."
However, there was a "significant difference between the two presidents. Obama never used terms such as "Islamic extremism" and "radical Islam" because he believed that terrorism and extremism would be connected to Islam. He avoided these terms, whereas Bush had no problems using them. On the other hand, he did state that such extremism should not be connected to Islam. At one point he acknowledged: "Some call this evil Islamic radicalism; others, militant Jihadism; still others, Islamo-fascism. Whatever it's called, this ideology is very different from the religion of Islam."
Majority of Muslims are against this extremism, advocating peace. If this holy war is false indeed, why so many people join it? That was something neither Obama nor Bush could explain.
Is Islam the problem?
Source:islamicity.org
Bush and Obama tried so hard to distinguish such extremism from Islam as we have mentioned that several times in the article. However, this constant need to explain the phenomenon and separate the two terms had consequences. They kept refusing the fact that Islam and terrorism were connected and this has motivated a large part of the population in America to believe that the jihadists and extremists DO represent the religion. Several scholars, advisers, and congressmen said that ISIS and Islam are related and that this is the fact people need to accept. We just have to point out that this doesn't mean that all of those who believe in Allah should be considered extremists, but we have to agree with the fact that Islamic State and Islam are connected to some degree.

Well today was interesting. Was in a bit of a funk yesterday, Sunday blahs and being anxious about work. Nothing horrible, I just have a bunch of stuff due this week and I've been spinning my tentacles a lot. Had a good night's sleep, including a great dream about sailing a replica tall ship down the Brazos river here in Texas. Woke up, and I was so tempted to call in and try my damnest to get back into the dream. But, I decided that between not having PTO yet, and having the above mentioned amount of work, that calling in would be a bad idea. So I headed on in.
Decided to put what I was working on with Nagios on hold, and start working on the Cacti (another monitoring software) part. Now I've used Cacti for years and years...but pretty much only to monitor network gear, not servers. It's not really different, but there was some frustration as the nuts and bolts were giving me issues. But after some muttered Assyrian curse words and a bit of Googling, I figured out most of the issues. There's still some servers that have weird issues, but I'll get it figured out. And what I figured out for Cacti will also apply to some of the Nagios issues. So yay there.
I also got an email, my dead tree edition of 'Cthulhu Lies Dreaming' is due in this week, and I got the ebook edition now for instant gratification. I was really wondering what I was going to read tonight, nothing really was hitting my interest at lunch. I also got home early enough to get the package waiting for me, another nifty statue from Cryptocurium, of Zhothaqquah (Tsathoggua). Always good to add another Great Old One statue to the collection. I really need to build/buy some kind of display cabinet for the collection. *grin* And I also decided to go ahead and buy the soundtrack to 'The Witch'. Made good, eerie music to configure software to. Now I'm home, I've consumed leftover Chinese food, and will probably go to bed with a book in short order. Amazing how today changed gears so well, glad I got up and got moving. Go me !

Why debating Brexit is still vital for the left
John Palmer / 31/10/2018 / Leave a comment / chartist
John Palmer says a Schrodinger's Brexit, neither in nor out, is the likely outcome from the May government unless Labour forces a General Election while keeping a people's vote on the table
The debate about Britain and the EU is not new, but the proposal to sever the links that have bound Britain to most of the rest of Europe for more than 40 years is vastly more radical than anything envisaged by the British state since the end of the Second World War. The context in Europe then is hardly recognisable today. So much has changed. We have had the great financial crisis. We have seen the undermining of many of the political structures and alliances that were forged during the Cold War. We have seen the rise of a hard right wing populism, above all the Trump Presidency and its imitators in Europe and globally.
This is not, as yet, an irreversible trend throughout Europe. It is not going unchallenged. But political reaction and economic protectionism is on the rise. The familiar international political and security architecture created in the post-war settlement is now subject to political rupture. The fragility of the global capitalist neo-liberal consensus based on unchallenged US power and the collapse of the Soviet Union is obvious. The fragmentation of that consensus represents in part a profound backlash against acute economic and social inequalities exacerbated by the 2008/9 global financial crises. Dramatic decline of electoral support has punctured the arrogant complacency of the centrist political consensus linking centre-left Social Democracy and centre right Conservative and Christian Democrat parties across the EU.
There is – in some EU countries – a growth in support for more radical left socialist and Green parties as well as of course for the Corbyn leadership of the UK Labour Party. But there are the stronger currents of support for hard right wing, and even some extreme right racist and authoritarian parties. Apart from Trump there is the rise of authoritarian regimes like Putin in Moscow, Orban in Budapest, and Erdogan in Istanbul who openly challenge existing democratic, civil liberties, racial and gender equalities standards. These trends give the Brexit debate a significance it could not have had 40 years ago.
A very early declaration in support of a United States of Europe was written in 1941 by left wing socialists and dissident Communists held captive in Mussolini's notorious Ventotene prison in 1941 and then circulated by Italian anti-fascist partisans. For socialists the EU has become an indispensable terrain for radical, democratic, anti-capitalist economic, social and political transformation – for the class struggle itself.
The European Union is more than ever an essential arena in which the battle against monetarism, austerity, authoritarianism and bigotry has to be fought if it is ever to be won. The notion that Britain can win these battles on its own is risible. To doubt this is to fundamentally misunderstand the deep structural integration of the capitalist economies on this continent.
Quoting from Marxist thinkers can look like theological piety. But Marx did argue for the unification of Germany (even under Prussian militarism) because it provided an essential national framework in which capital was organising and in which workers urgently needed to organise. Leon Trotsky wrote after the First World War that the time was right for a united states of Europe, something he said even under the capitalist trusts would be "a massive step forward."
It is impossible to conceive of a successful socialist strategy for sustainable growth and a reduction of gross inequality, implemented in isolation from those with whom we are so embedded in shared economic structures. There is no independent British car industry left that could take the UK in a totally different direction: there is only a German, French, Italian and US car industry in Britain – a reality duplicated across many other sectors. Even those suffering from illusions about a socialism in one country must realise that confronting the Googles and Amazons (and all big time corporate tax cheats) means action at EU level (if not immediately at a global level) or no effective action at all.
To urge a solitary (actually an isolationist) path is also to grossly overestimate the coherence of the UK as a 'national' state structure. We are seeing incipient signs of the disintegration of this state. Since Brexit, Scottish independence is again very much back on the political agenda. In Northern Ireland, the bastion of the old imperial union, the hard-line unionists are very worried that they're losing the argument to those who say in a post-Brexit situation we need gradual integration with the Republic. The British state is hollowing out.
Labour's Brexit policy and 'Schrodinger's Brexit'
Some of the things Corbyn said during the referendum are a big break from his past views and were very positive. For example, at the launch of Labour's remain campaign he said:
There is a strong socialist case for staying in the European Union… You cannot build a better world unless you engage with the world, build allies and deliver change. The EU, warts and all, has proved itself to be a crucial international framework to do that.
The six tests that Labour has set for judging May's eventual Brexit deal are a messy compromise between different wings in the PLP. But do all Labour MPs mean it when they say that if the tests are not fully met they will vote against the bill? It is not easy to see May securing a Parliamentary majority for anything but a de facto continuation of staying in the EU for years to come – but minus any democratic, law making or decision-taking powers. We are heading for what I have long been calling a 'Schrodinger's Brexit': one where the UK is both IN and OUT of the EU at the same time (like Schrodinger's quantum physics cat – alive and dead at the same time).
The Tory hard right and DUP rightly suspect she will come back with a deal whereby the UK will remain in the single market and customs union for an indeterminate period ahead (maybe past even the last date for the next general election) following a legal Brexit next March. The UK will be subject to all the related EU regulation across the economy, the ECJ will have ultimate legal authority and payments into the EU budget will continue.
This will certainly look to most people, whether Remainers or Leavers, as though we're still in the EU. None of the much vaunted future global trade deals can come into force during this extended time in the Single Market and Customs Union. But we will have given up all our democratic and decision making rights in the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament. When Rees-Mogg says this is a "Vassal State" relationship he is right. But only if – and it's a big if – May can secure a Parliamentary majority.
The risk of May succeeding in getting her way does not come from the left of the Labour Party or from the SNP, Plaid Cymru or the one Green MP. The potential threat comes from 'moderate' Labour MPs who already hint – like Lisa Nandy – about a duty to support a very 'soft' Brexit to avoid a No Deal outcome.
May could, however, still fall at the last stages in the negotiations. She may not be able to guarantee no hard border in Northern Ireland without having to accept the Vassal State option way into the next decade. That might be too much for the hard right and she might be removed as Tory party leader. But the EU is determined to secure an indefinitely guaranteed open border for as long as there is no agreed post-Brexit Treaty of Economic Cooperation with the UK.
So May's strategy is to come back and say "Don't worry, a formal Brexit will begin now but a Real Brexit is going to take a little longer." The planned post-Brexit 'transition' is currently set to last from 30 March next year to December 2020 during which nothing really changes. But the government has now signalled this may have to last to the end of December 2021. There is even talk about extending it into 2022 (the year in which a new general election must be held).
Precedents suggest that negotiating such a massive new comprehensive free trade agreement usually takes around 5/6/7 years. May's problem is how to dress this in ways that won't lead to the complete collapse of the government and a historic split in the Tory party. This has the potential to sunder the Tories in a similar way to the Corn Laws issue, which left the Tories unable to achieve a majority government for decades.
The threats of hard Brexit are mostly bluff. Is there a possibility of no deal? It is conceivable, but British and EU capital desperately want to avoid that. The recent closure of the motorway to Dover while the authorities look for sites to build giant car parks and avoid the disruption of cross-Channel trade was propaganda. Like talk about no medicines, and planes not flying after a No Deal, it is designed to put pressure on the hard right not to vote down what May eventually puts to Parliament. A No Deal might happen by accident. But the final stages of the Brexit negotiations are being choreographed very carefully to avoid that.
Labour is right to say to May that unless you produce a deal that meets the six tests we will vote it down. Corbyn can also say that Labour is in a much better position to negotiate a much more satisfactory relationship. Labour is far more supportive of EU-proposed reforms on workers' rights, anti-discrimination measures and tougher environmental controls than any Tory government. The EU knows this too and would likely allow more time and offer more negotiating concessions to a British government led by Jeremy Corbyn to get an agreement leaving the UK in the EU.
Labour, however, needs to spell out its willingness to be more positive in any new negotiations if it wins an early general election. It is worth remembering the 'renegotiation' of Harold Wilson in 1974/5 after Labour rejected the Heath Tory government's EEC Accession Treaty. It is not unprecedented for Labour to go back and renegotiate with Europe. There is little in Labour's programme to provoke hostility from the EU. No EU opposition has been expressed to the proposed nationalisation of rail, energy and utilities, contrary to what Lexiteers have alleged.
The rest of the EU wants the UK to remain – renegotiating a completely new relationship after the past 45 years, post-Brexit, would be a nightmare. If Corbyn wins an election and says to Brussels 'we would like urgent talks with you' he is likely to meet a weary but a positive response. You don't say 'No' to a newly elected government. The need for more time might require some extension of article 50. There may soon not only be a new government in the UK. There will also be a new European Commission taking office next year and also a newly elected European Parliament. So any new negotiation will take time.
In terms of how Labour should approach a people's vote, I have some sympathy with John McDonnell in not wanting to risk everything on a referendum – if we got anything like the same result as in 2016 the right would be on a rampage. The question is what happens if Labour cannot force an election? In that event, a People's Referendum should remain on the table. There was a strong consensus on this issue at the party conference. The questions will be set by Parliament not by Government. It would make sense to have tripartite options: 'support the package', 'reject the package', or 'reopen negotiations on membership.'
The problem with a referendum is that it can only be indirectly couched within a broader context of policies and arguments on inequality and social justice. I believe the best time for a referendum would be after a new Labour government had returned with its reform and remain package from Brussels. If that has to take place after March next year when we leave the EU, it should include an option to re-apply for membership on the terms negotiated with Brussels.
Meanwhile it will be crucial to work with progressive political forces elsewhere in Europe. Who might they be? Think of the Portuguese left coalition government, Podemos and its allies in Spain, France Insoumise (which has rejected any desire to leave the EU or even leave the Euro), the SDP left, Die Linke and the Greens in Germany, the very successful Green Left and its social democratic allies in the Netherlands and many social democratic and socialist parties from Greece and Italy to Sweden and Finland.
Now is the time for the British Labour party to call for more collaboration with the European left and centre-left parties on a common programme of EU reform and further democratisation. The Labour leadership could call a conference in London to debate the common threats we face and to prepare a common fighting platform to tackle the far right, corruption and climate change across Europe.
Labour should make it clear that following a Labour victory it will prioritise a Reform and Remain strategy for the UK. For now Labour should coordinate with the SNP, Greens and Plaid to ensure a progressive vote against the May deal.

Hellfire Hills lies just north of Sundry, in the winter it makes for picturesque white blanketed hillsides as seen in this photo. It isolates with the awe inspiring peaks, but I'm the shadows live the dark tales no one wants to remember. The highest and the only peak thought to be "unreachable" in winter is known as Bunthel's Belfry. One winters day however a small group of explorers photographed here decided to become the first people to scale the heights of the towering behemoth, some said it was to gain fame for being the first up there while others believe it was because they were searching for the Bell of Bunthel whose location could only be found in winter because the spot of the buried bell would be free of snow,burned by the unholy fires of the demon that gifted the bell to a witch who lived on the mountain. What happened to the climbers? And what was so important about this bell to risk disappearance?
Progress. #WIP #WorkInProgress thinking about Paris and Notre Dame. Wondering what kind of power system would need to exist to allow us to be free to govern ourselves.

I am Koyuki, a big fan of skincare and cosmetics!!
I have normal to oily skin, so I tend to stay away from products that are rich and moisturizing... they are just too thick for me.
Since the summer time is here, I will start off introducing whitening, hydrating and sunscreen products!!
I also do Korea purchasing, so if you have things you wanna buy, I can give you a hand.

The Lost Bharat by Saswat Kumar Sahu
Peaceful Writers International September 07, 2021
THIS WRITE-UP DOESN'T MEAN TO HURT ANYONE'S SENTIMENTS; RATHER ITS MAIN PURPOSE IS FOR KNOWLEDGE ONLY. IT IS COMPLETELY BASED ON FACTS AND RESEARCH. IF ANYONE'S PERSONAL FEELINGS ARE HURT THEN THE WRITER, THE PUBLICATION AND THE WEBSITE MANAGER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.
What is Bharatvarsh?
If I spell the word, "INDIA", by what thoughts you are flooded with? What image you created in your mind? Well, I can guess most of you would think about huge population, vast diversities, largest Constitution, complex democracy, major problems etc. It's the harsh reality that we Indians have to accept. Some of you must have heard that India is a developing nation in the current times. What if I will tell you that India is a highly developed nation in this world! India is that Golden bird which is still chirping although it lost its golden colour.
The world only knows India as the giver of ZERO (0), Decimals, Vedic Maths and Geometry from its ancient text, but the reality is far ahead than these facts. Most of the greatest known laws in Science and Mathematics were already devised in India. But I am sad to say that the achievements of India are lesser-known to the world. In Bharat also if you do a public survey and ask the youths who is Maharishi Baudhaayan, who is Maharishi Kanad, who is Bhaskaracharya? I am pretty sure none of them could answer. These great names are veiled behind Tad leaves instead of praising them for their unmatchable works towards science and mathematics. Everyone remembered Sir Issac Newton for his work in physics but never try to know about Maharishi Kanad. India was the wealthiest territory, both in knowledge and asset. But due to the gradual invasion of outsiders (not belonging to India), massive loots, colonisation etc we lost our real diamond.
One of the major degradation of its culture and glamour over time could be the delocalisation of the Sanskrit language. Almost every ancient book was written in Sanskrit, so for this generation, it is difficult to understand those texts. Another reason is that the native's minds were diverted from their culture by the colonial power to show the supremacy of their own religion. People got alienated from their own culture. Invaders left no effort to destroy the symbols of our culture. Particularly many wealthy temples were destroyed, manuscripts were burnt, scholars were slaughtered, many texts were stolen or copied over time, etc. Overall, we can say that our faith and beliefs were broken from time to time. More accurately if you turn the pages of our history you can find that this territory's original name is not what we call it today. In our scriptures, there is no name like "INDIA". This name was given by the Europeans who sailed here. The Mughals termed it as "HINDUSTAN". The actual name of this land is "BHARAT". The originality of the nation is harassed.
HOW IT WAS SUPPRESSED? WHAT WE HAVE LOST?
If we go through the pages of the past, India lost above 90% of its wealth since the Mongols came to India. If invasion would not occur in India, then it must be the king of all countries of the world at the present date. From the destruction and looting of Somnath Temple, 17 times to burning and smashing the Nalanda University gives the example of brutal behaviour of invaders. During the reign of Mughals and Britishers, many temples and religious places are turned to dust, just for showing their power. Many of them learned Sanskrit in order to extract the knowledge and copy it to become famous. Mahmud of Ghazni who attacked Somnath temple took away all the wealth worth about 30 million dinars (about 7,28,53,20,096 INR). His main targets were temples as he knew that these are the storehouse of wealth. Another heart-wrenching incident was with Nalanda University. It is the first university on earth. Many students from outside also came there. When Bakhtiyar Khilji attacked it, he set the university on fire, as a result, many students and teachers were burnt alive. When the fire catches the library it took 3 months to extinguish. You can imagine how much knowledge was turned to ashes. Not only during the Mughals Bharat had to bear the loss of wealth but also during the British colonisation one can find great devastation of resources. The indiscriminate exports from Indian raw materials to their infant manufacturing capital, England, led to both biological and economical crises. Moreover, the war expenses and demands were supplied from India. Tonnes of timber, iron ore, cotton, tea leaves, gold, diamonds and other precious stones were sent to their capital city. There are no records of how many soldiers were martyred in the Second World War. Some of their viceroys even attempted to break down the idols of our deities. This list will stretch long if I consider everything.
WHY BHARAT?
Now you say, what has India given to the world? The answer is everything that we study, use and know today. If you ask what are those, then you will be shocked by the list that I have. Well! The following things are listed which were first in Bharat:-
∆ The first-ever university in the world. The Nalanda and Taxasila University.
∆ The buttons that we use today was first made by Harappan Civilisation.
∆ The shampoo and flush based toilets were invented by Harappan Civilisation.
∆ The chess and snake and ladders and Ludo were first invented in India.
∆ India gave the concept of Astanga Yoga Sutra by Maharshi Patanjali.
∆ The concept of atoms, molecules and laws of motion (Newton's laws of motion) was earlier formulated by Maharshi Kanad in his book, Vaisesika Sutra.
∆ Maharshi Shushruta was the first to perform plastic surgery, removing cataracts, giving the whole anatomy of the human body at that time when medical science was yet to develop in the rest of the world.
∆ Maharshi Bhaskaracharya had given the law of Gravitation much before Sir Isaac Newton.
∆ Rishi Baudhayan had already given the Sulbhasutra which is now known as Pythagoras theorem and also extended his work in Geometry.
∆ Bharat is first to give the concept of Vimana or the aircraft and also the knowledge of nuclear weapons and the power of those weapons. The most significant contribution was of Maharshi Bharadwaj.
∆ It has given the most accurate, scientific, complete and fully developed language, i.e., Sanskrit.
∆ Aryabhatt had not only given the numerical zero (0), but also contributed on Astrophysics, Astronomy and gifted the most precise value of Pi (π).
∆ Bharat had given the knowledge of Ayurveda.
∆ Martial Art was originated in South India or the Dravidian region.
∆ Bharat has very rich knowledge in the field of Architecture and Engineering, the temples that were not only meant for devotion and faith but also for serenity in mind and body.
∆ Ancient blacksmiths had a good knowledge of metallurgy. So bells are made with a perfect mixture that can produce vibrations that can sharpen the mind and are able to produce 9D sound effects.
∆ The oldest and developed civilisation, the Harappan Civilisation, and the oldest religion, the Sanatan Dharma, are from Bharat.
There are more scientific contributions of Bharat which are yet to discover. In our religion, we chant Mantras, Stotrams and Namavallis which are proved to be very fruitful for our mental, physical and spiritual health. According to James Hartzell, a neuroscientist stated that memorising Sanskrit Shlokas enhances the cognitive part of the brain. This particular phenomenon is called the Sanskrit Effect. Sanskrit is said to be the mother of all languages, including foreign languages also. The country has gifted Shrimad Bhagwat Gita to the world which is proving as best from time to time. Imagine for a while, think that all the above-cited things were not invented then what will happen. That's why, in the beginning, I said that it is a highly developed nation.
I am saying with great pain that today's generation is privileged from knowing how glorious their culture is!
The pain of hearing insults of India from its own natives hurts more than the torture from the foreigners. My intention of writing on this topic is meant for awareness towards our land, actual past and cultures. It's a work based on true facts and research.

I promised a post on Phil Mirowski's latest book, Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste: How Neoliberalism Survived the Financial Meltdown, and now I have to deliver. Mirowski flames like no other author on contemporary economics, and his books are fun to read if you are not the object of his invective. That said, this is a major disappointment.
Mirowski's thesis is that there is an intellectual cabal at the center of modern history, a Neoliberal Thought Collective centered on the Mont Pellerin Society. These conspirators have built a vast network of ideological foggery, with the Pellerinistas at the center and various academic programs, think tanks, publications and so on making up the outer layers. They engage in willful dissimulation, strategic obfuscation and lots of other nefarious latinates to overrun the feeble cognitive and political defenses of the rest of us. Neoclassical economics has largely joined neoliberalism at the hip, especially since the 1980s, so it has been taken along for the ride. This in turn explains why economic orthodoxy has emerged unscathed from a crisis which ought to have ravaged it.
I am no defender of what Mirowski describes as the neoliberal cabal, but I found his screed to be almost uniformly unenlightening. This is a shame, because he has hit the mark often enough in the past.
Above all, I think his idealist interpretation of history is wildly off the mark. Forgive me if I point out that I appear just once in his footnotes (more than I expected) and that his reference is not only completely misleading but revealingly so. The citation is to my 2011 post "It's the Political Economy, Stupid!". Mirowski seems to think that it is about disagreements within economics and expresses a naive view that, in the absence of material interests, it is in the nature of science to produce unanimity. But take a look. The point back then, and certainly the same point today, is that the dominance of orthodox economic policies is not attributable to the outcome of some intellectual battle of wits, but to the fact that the same individuals and interests that were in control of the political economy pre-2008 are in control today. And so the message that Mirowski missed is exactly the one that fingers the central flaw in his analysis: the intellectual maneuvers of neoliberal academics is interesting but second- or third-order at best in explaining why events have transpired as they have. The category of power is all but absent in Mirowski's ostensibly hyper-radical account.
Dig deeper and it gets worse. Mirowski has always had a tendency to substitute purple descriptors for systematic argument, but now the problem is way, way out of control. Just look at his section near the end on neoliberal responses to climate change. Neoliberals, he says, think that markets are the solution to everything, and this is why they favor baroque systems for trading carbon permits. They know that this will have no impact on atmospheric carbon concentrations and this is fine with them, all in line with their secret agenda. Um, I am on record here as being strongly opposed to the use of offset markets to undermine carbon policy, but (1) we do have a market economy and absolutely need to have stiff prices for carbon to get traction, and (2) the gutting of carbon markets is essentially about political economy, the power that business interests have to exempt themselves from meaningful control.
Ah, but the next stage of the neoliberal playbook, according to Mirowski, is to propose a radical "solution" whose purpose is simply to provide a giant profit opportunity. In the case of climate change, that's the role of geoengineering: it's a neoliberal ruse to crank out more money for the corporations. But wait: where is the market for geoengineering? Isn't this a quintessential state initiative? Do you really think that governments intend to sit back and let private firms tinker with the planet on their own? And where do the profits come from, if not from government budgets? How could there ever be a private market in deflecting sunlight or other public goods/bads? And now get ready for this one: Mirowski says that the inner, inner, really inner core of neoliberalism is the idea that human knowledge is helpless in the face of the complexity of nature and society, while markets are wise and trustworthy. Grant him this if you want, but then ask, How can the crusade for geoengineering be an expression of the futility of human knowledge to manage the mysteries of nature?
Well, now I'm the one who sounds shrill. And a lot of my hostility comes from disappointment. I thought that about 60-70% of Machine Dreams was pretty damn good. You get maybe a tenth of that this time around.

I like Mirowski's prose style in small doses, which is too bad for me because his books are so goddam long.
His interview on Doug Henwood's show was really good, maybe that's enough.

3.1 Simply the Best
3.2 The Magic Metropolis
3.3 Wonders of the East
3.4 Ghosts of Wonder
History Documentary hosted by John Romer, published by Discovery Channel in 1994 - English narration
Two statues, a temple, a hanging garden, two tombs and a lighthouse. This selection of monuments became known as "The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World". There are probably few who could list them right away, are even fewer who know something about each of them or the reasons for which they were labeled as Wonders. Six of those seven were destroyed by forces of nature, or by human hand. Each episode in this series describes one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and we see besides the monuments themselves the people who designed and built them, with the vision to create something wonderful.
Now they exist only within the precise, rectangular pits of excavated remains that capture a once-powerful dream whose images continue to echo around us. But, centuries ago, the Seven Wonders of the World were advertisements for a contemporary, thrilling, and heroic way of life, the finest examples of a brand-new civic architecture, the ancestors of every modern city on the planet. Here is the history behind these legendary lost structures: the enormous statue to the Greek god Zeus, carved by Phidias and holding a figure of Victory in one hand and a scepter in the other; the Colossus of Rhodes, a tribute to freedom looking up to Olympus and over the sea; the elegant lighthouse on the island of Pharos in Alexandria; the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, adorned with numerous statues and carvings; the many-tiered Hanging Gardens of Babylon; the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, as beautiful as the goddess for whom it was named; and the eternal Pyramids and the Rise of Wonder.
Journey back to the ancient world to discover it's man-made Wonders. Each wonder is recreated with computer animation, and your host, author and archaeologist, John Romer examines the historical background of these ancient monuments and the civilisations to which they belonged.
[edit] Simply the Best
In this episode, John Romer invites viewers to investigate the notion of Seven Wonders and the concept of Wonder itself. He examines the statue of Zeus and the Colossus of Rhodes. For Zeus, John Romer visit a Parthenon and a copy of Nashville, TN, explaining how the great statue and temple was constructed. At the site of the temple of Zeus at Olympia, Romer talks about how the statue was made. Exploring the Colossus, Romer finds the foundation pieces of the statue embedded in an old fort in the harbor. But where exactly was the statue of Rhodes? Romer investigates this question and the image of Colossus.
[edit] The Magic Metropolis
In this episode, John Romer explores the history of the Lighthouse of Alexandria and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. Of the seven wonders of the world most practical was the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Built in 285 BC, the lighthouse can be seen from 50 km at sea and to show the way to the old town Nepal. From medieval legends we hear magic light attacking and burning sails of the ships . Lighthouse of Alexandria was more than an indicator to ancient ships, it symbolized one of the most spectacular experiments of mankind and birth of the modern city and Magic Metropolis.
In today's Bodrum (ancient city Halicarnassus), Romer visits the initial site where once was the largest tomb the world has ever seen, the tomb of King Mausolus or Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. The term Mausoleum (large funeral tomb) comes after the name of King Mausol.
[edit] Wonders of the East
Now presenter John Romer studies the history and beauty of two other Wonders: Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. Romer explains the myths around the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. In Iraq, archaeologists discovered the remains of great palaces and walls, but none of the famous gardens. They were an opulent dream, brought from the Orient. This Persian paradise filled with fruit and flowers was used by the Greeks to plant olive groves on impressive terraces. At Ephesus, Romer details ancient goddess worship at the temple which attracts all those who believed in it. The place is now near the ruins of Didyma, and he reveals how you could still see the remains of Temple of Artemis.
[edit] Ghosts of Wonder
John Romer bears viewers a wonderful trip, studying the pyramids of Egypt and the new concept of wonder of the world. Visiting the amazing Sydney Opera building in Australia, Romer walks along the majestic roof of this structure, considered one of the modern wonders of the world. He discusses the ancient heritage of Wonders, which lasted for centuries. Pyramids of Giza are the only surviving ancient wonders and by far the oldest, and Romer explains how and why they were built. You then follow Romer climbing to the Pharaoh's Chamber in the Great Pyramid, where he discusses the mathematical complexity of the pyramid and its significance for ancient Egyptians.

A retrospective case-controlled cohort study of inpatient drug induced liver injury: the RIDDLE study
Thomas Worland, Ken Lee Chin, Beverley Rodrigues, Amanda Nicoll
Background: Identification of risk factors for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has been hindered by the unpredictable incidence and idiosyncratic nature of DILI. The aim of this study was to identify characteristic host risk factors for DILI.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed examining all patients admitted with a diagnosis of DILI over a 5.5-year period. Cases were compared to a control group non-exposed to DILI using propensity score-derived inverse probability weights. Patients with DILI due to alcohol or paracetamol were excluded from analysis.
Results: Seventy-two cases of DILI admitted to hospital were identified. Antimicrobials caused 56.9% of cases, with amoxicillin-clavulanate the single most common agent, responsible for 13.9% of cases. DILI cohort median age (50.2±36 years) was significantly younger than controls (65.0±38 years) (P<0.001). Pre- existing chronic liver disease (OR, 3.44; 95% CI, 1.38–8.59; P=0.008), length of stay (P<0.001) and in- hospital death (P=0.009) were more likely to be associated with DILI cases. There was no correlation with sex (OR male, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.50–1.67; P=0.78), presence of comorbid autoimmune disease (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 0.68–3.05; P=0.35), past drug allergies (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 0.92–3.16; P=0.09), or atopy (OR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.42–1.82; P=0.72).
Conclusions: Younger age and presence of chronic liver disease were associated with an admission with DILI; however, it remains difficult to predict the population at risk of DILI on clinical grounds and putative risk factors such as female gender, and history of other drug allergies and autoimmunity, were not demonstrated in this study.


Machine translated chapter 1298 of Invincible Conqueror light novel.
Tried to meet the underground spring Demon Robe might, Huang Xiaolong satisfies nodded. Although this underground spring Demon Robe is damaged, if by the function, some aspect were much better compared with Jade Moon Conch this Medium Class Primordial Chaos Spirit Artifact, Jade Moon Conch can only defend the soul and nourishes Divine Soul strong, is actually not able the active threat opposite party, but underground spring Demon Robe not only can defend the attack, but can also stimulate to movement the underground spring Demon Qi attack.

"Who does?" Huang Xiaolong face darken. Lu Zhuo, Gu Lingwei stand in front of Huang Xiaolong respectfully, actually does not know how to reply. Because, they do not know that the opposite party came many people, does not know that the opposite party concrete strength, how does not know the opposite party appearance.

After a meeting, Golden Horn Calf takes back Purple Thunder. Hesitates saying: "The opposite party goes into hiding, although good, but uses, is one type strength that called blood emperor Magic, what Cultivation was Demonic Art. Called blood emperor Demonic Art." "Blood emperor Demonic Art?" The Huang Xiaolong both eyes doubts, the search remembers, but to his knowledge, which Cultivation this Demonic Art the Myriad Manifestation Divine Plane First Class above big influence should not have.
"Palace Lord, I know that scarlet Divine Plane has Blood Emperor Sect to have a lot person Cultivation this Demonic Art." At this time, Feng Er opened the mouth to say. "." Huang Xiaolong is surprised. Scarlet Divine Plane? Scarlet Divine Plane is Myriad Manifestation Divine Plane all around in which Divine Plane, but he has not gone to scarlet Divine Plane, impossible to have the hatred with this Blood Emperor Sect person. "Perhaps is the hand that others hire them to leave." Feng Er sees the Huang Xiaolong doubts, the solution said: "This Blood Emperor Sect, is extremely mystical, slightly is similar to Assassin Organization, they will accept the invitations of some influences, take action help the opposite party eliminate the enemy." Huang Xiaolong ponder. "Passes on the news that I come back." Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong said to Lu Zhuo. Lu Zhuo has gawked staring, subsequently understood Huang Xiaolong meaning, should be respectfully. "You planned that attracts opposite party once more take action with oneself?" Golden Horn Calf said. Huang Xiaolong nodded. "Opposite party, if not take action?" A Golden Horn Calf brow wrinkle. "We stay for five days, five days later, then returns to Good Fortune Continent."
