On 28th December 1895 the Lumière brothers, Louis and Auguste, demonstrated the first true motion picture, via a system which they called the cinématographe.
The brothers were born in Besançon, eastern France (Louis in 1862 and Auguste in 1864) but grew up in Lyon. They showed an early interest in still photography and Louis saw a career opportunity in the production of photographic plates. He persuaded his father Antoine to finance the venture, which was producing 15 million plates a year within ten years of the factory opening.
It was Antoine who first directed his sons' interest towards motion pictures. After he saw a demonstration in Paris of Thomas Edison's "Kinetoscope" he went home to Lyon and suggested to the brothers that they develop a means of projecting moving images on to a screen instead of the "peepshow" system that Edison had patented.
The Lumières came up with something that was to form the basis of cinematography for many years to come. They appreciated that the human brain could interpret the viewing of fifteen frames a second as motion, so they gave themselves a modicum of insurance by introducing a system that recorded and played at sixteen frames a second, which is the standard still used to the present day. By contrast, Edison's system ran at 46 frames a second, which meant that vastly more film was needed to record sequences that ran for the same length of time.
The patrons of the Café de la Paix, near the Paris Opera, were treated to two short films, one showing a train apparently charging out of the screen at them and the other being somewhat less dramatic and bearing the title "Workers leaving the Lumière factory". However, the brothers were to go on to make more than 1000 films over the next four years and thus give birth to a new industry and a new form of entertainment.

Ecology has established marine sediment chemical standards, but they have not formally adopted freshwater sediment chemical standards. However, Ecology recently evaluated the reliability and efficiency of a number of the existing freshwater sediment chemical guidelines developed by others (Ecology 2002). Based on this evaluation, Ecology concluded that none of the existing sediment quality guidelines have ideal reliability, and proposed using a new technique for deriving sediment guidelines, using what they refer to as the floating percentile method.
While the floating percentile method is an innovative way to derive sediment quality guidelines, it has yet to be adopted by other agencies and to date, there is no peer reviewed literature that formally presents it. In addition, its predictive ability has not been tested on a large dataset other than the one from which it was generated. Therefore, in addition to using the floating percentile-derived guidelines to interpret the data presented here, a more widely used set of guidelines developed for the Great Lakes region by Smith et al. (1996) was also used. The Smith et. al guidelines represent a reasonable balance between sensitivity and efficiency and also include guidelines for organochlorine pesticides (DDT, dieldrin, etc.), which are not included among Ecology's floating percentile guidelines.
Both the floating percentile and Smith et al. guidelines are based on two sets of numerical criteria for each chemical that was evaluated. The lower number, in the case of the floating percentile guidelines, is known as the Statistical Significance Level or STAT, and in the case of the Smith et al. guidelines, is known as the Threshold Effects Level or TEL. These values represent chemical concentrations below which adverse effects to aquatic organisms are unlikely. The higher number, known as the Cleanup Screening Level or CSL in the floating percentile guidelines, and the Probable Effects Level or PEL in the Smith et al. guidelines, represent the concentrations above which adverse effects are likely. For concentrations that fall between the two levels, adverse effects to benthic organisms are uncertain.

In this article I illustrate regularization with logistic regression (LR) classification, but regularization can be used with many types of machine learning, notably neural network classification. The goal of LR classification is to create a model that predicts a variable that can take one of two possible values. For example, you might want to predict the result for a football team (lose = 0, win = 1) in an upcoming game based on the team's current winning percentage (x1), field location (x2), and number of players absent due to injury (x3).
Here b0, b1, b2 and b3 are weights, which are just numeric values that must be determined. In words, you compute a value z that is the sum of input values times b-weights, add a b0 constant, then pass the z value to the equation that uses math constant e. It turns out that Y will always be between 0 and 1. If Y is less than 0.5, you conclude the predicted output is 0 and if Y is greater than 0.5 you conclude the output is 1. Notice that if there are n features, there will be n+1 b-weights.
For example, suppose a team currently has a winning percentage of 0.75, and will be playing at their opponent's field (-1), and has 3 players out due to injury. And suppose b0 = 5.0, b1 = 8.0, b2 = 3.0, and b3 = -2.0. Then z = 5.0 + (8.0)(0.75) + (3.0)(-1) + (-2.0)(3) = 2.0 and so Y = 1.0 / (1.0 + e^-2.0) = 0.88. Because Y is greater than 0.5, you'd predict the team will win their upcoming game.
I think the best way to explain regularization is by examining a concrete example. Take a look at the screenshot of a demo program in Figure 1. Rather than use real data, the demo program begins by generating 1,000 synthetic data items. Each item has 12 predictor variables (often called "features" in ML terminology). The dependent variable value is in the last column. After creating the 1,000 data items, the data set was randomly split into an 800-item training set to be used to find the model b-weights, and a 200-item test set to be used to evaluate the quality of the resulting model.
Next, the demo program trained the LR classifier, without using regularization. The resulting model had 85.00 percent accuracy on the training data, and 80.50 percent accuracy on the test data. The 80.50 percent accuracy is the more relevant of the two values, and is a rough estimate of how accurate you could expect the model to be when presented with new data. As I'll explain shortly, the model was over-fitted, leading to mediocre prediction accuracy.
Next, the demo did some processing to find a good L1 regularization weight and a good L2 regularization weight. Regularization weights are single numeric values that are used by the regularization process. In the demo, a good L1 weight was determined to be 0.005 and a good L2 weight was 0.001.
The demo first performed training using L1 regularization and then again with L2 regularization. With L1 regularization, the resulting LR model had 95.00 percent accuracy on the test data, and with L2 regularization, the LR model had 94.50 percent accuracy on the test data. Both forms of regularization significantly improved prediction accuracy.
The demo code is too long to present here, but complete source code is available in the code download that accompanies this article. The demo code has all normal error checking removed to keep the main ideas as clear as possible and the size of the code small.
The overall program structure, with some minor edits to save space, is presented in Figure 2. To create the demo, I launched Visual Studio and created a new C# console application named Regularization. The demo has no significant Microsoft .NET Framework dependencies, so any recent version of Visual Studio will work.
After the template code loaded into the Visual Studio editor, in the Solution Explorer window I renamed file Program.cs to the more descriptive RegularizationProgram.cs and Visual Studio automatically renamed class Program for me. At the top of the source code, I deleted all using statements that pointed to unneeded namespaces, leaving just the reference to the top-level System namespace.
All of the logistic regression logic is contained in a single LogisticClassifier class. The LogisticClassifier class contains a nested helper Particle class to encapsulate particle swarm optimization (PSO), the optimization algorithm used for training. Note that the LogisticClassifier class contains a method Error, which accepts parameters named alpha1 and alpha2. These parameters are the regularization weights for L1 and L2 regularization.
The seed value of 42 was used only because that value gave nice, representative demo output. Method MakeAllData generates 13 random weights between -10.0 and +10.0 (one weight for each feature, plus the b0 weight). Then the method iterates 1,000 times. On each iteration, a random set of 12 input values is generated, then an intermediate logistic regression output value is calculated using the random weights. An additional random value is added to the output to make the data noisy and more prone to overfitting.
This design approach allows the training method to determine the regularization weights and leads to a bit cleaner interface.
Because L1 and L2 regularization are techniques to reduce model overfitting, in order to understand regularization, you must understand overfitting. Loosely speaking, if you train a model too much, you will eventually get weights that fit the training data extremely well, but when you apply the resulting model to new data, the prediction accuracy is very poor.
Overfitting is illustrated by the two graphs in Figure 3. The first graph shows a hypothetical situation where the goal is to classify two types of items, indicated by red and green dots. The smooth blue curve represents the true separation of the two classes, with red dots belonging above the curve and green dots belonging below the curve. Notice that because of random errors in the data, two of the red dots are below the curve and two green dots are above the curve. Good training, where overfitting doesn't occur, would result in weights that correspond to the smooth blue curve. Suppose a new data point came in at (3, 7). The data item would be above the curve and be correctly predicted to be class red.
The second graph in Figure 3 has the same dots but a different blue curve that is a result of overfitting. This time all the red dots are above the curve and all the green dots are below the curve. But the curve is too complex. A new data item at (3, 7) would be below the curve and be incorrectly predicted as class green.
Overfitting generates non-smooth prediction curves, in other words, those that are not "regular." Such poor, complex prediction curves are usually characterized by weights that have very large or very small values. Therefore, one way to reduce overfitting is to prevent model weights from becoming very small or large. This is the motivation for regularization.
where Sum represents the accumulated sum over all training items, o represents computed output, t is target output and n is the number of training data items. The error is what training minimizes using one of about a dozen numerical techniques with names like gradient descent, iterative Newton-Raphson, L-BFGS, back-propagation and swarm optimization.
Suppose for this example there are four weights to be determined and their current values are (2.0, -3.0, 1.0, -4.0). The L1 weight penalty added to the 0.097 mean squared error would be (2.0 + 3.0 + 1.0 + 4.0) = 10.0. The L2 weight penalty would be 2.0^2 + -3.0^2 + 1.0^2 + -4.0^2 = 4.0 + 9.0 + 1.0 + 16.0 = 30.0.
To summarize, large model weights can lead to overfitting, which leads to poor prediction accuracy. Regularization limits the magnitude of model weights by adding a penalty for weights to the model error function. L1 regularization uses the sum of the absolute values of the weights. L2 regularization uses the sum of the squared values of the weights.
Why Two Different Kinds of Regularization?
L1 and L2 regularization are similar. Which is better? The bottom line is that even though there are some theory guidelines about which form of regularization is better in certain problem scenarios, in my opinion, in practice you must experiment to find which type of regularization is better, or whether using regularization at all is better.
As it turns out, using L1 regularization can sometimes have a beneficial side effect of driving one or more weight values to 0.0, which effectively means the associated feature isn't needed. This is one form of what's called feature selection. For example, in the demo run in Figure 1, with L1 regularization the last model weight is 0.0. This means the last predictor value doesn't contribute to the LR model. L2 regularization limits model weight values, but usually doesn't prune any weights entirely by setting them to 0.0.
So, it would seem that L1 regularization is better than L2 regularization. However, a downside of using L1 regularization is that the technique can't be easily used with some ML training algorithms, in particular those algorithms that use calculus to compute what's called a gradient. L2 regularization can be used with any type of training algorithm.
To summarize, L1 regularization sometimes has a nice side effect of pruning out unneeded features by setting their associated weights to 0.0 but L1 regularization doesn't easily work with all forms of training. L2 regularization works with all forms of training, but doesn't give you implicit feature selection. In practice, you must use trial and error to determine which form of regularization (or neither) is better for a particular problem.
The demo uses an explicit error function. Some training algorithms, such as gradient descent and back-propagation, use the error function implicitly by computing the calculus partial derivative (called the gradient) of the error function. For those training algorithms, to use L2 regularization (because the derivative of w^2 is 2w), you just add a 2w term to the gradient (although the details can be a bit tricky).
Notice the candidate regularization weight is used to train the evaluation classifier, but the error is computed without the regularization weight.
Regularization can be used with any ML classification technique that's based on a mathematical equation. Examples include logistic regression, probit classification and neural networks. Because it reduces the magnitudes of the weight values in a model, regularization is sometimes called weight decay. The major advantage of using regularization is that it often leads to a more accurate model. The major disadvantage is that it introduces an additional parameter value that must be determined, the regularization weight. In the case of logistic regression this isn't too serious because there's usually just the learning rate parameter, but when using more complex classification techniques, neural networks in particular, adding another so-called hyperparameter can create a lot of additional work to tune the combined values of the parameters.


Thanks to the copious amounts of junk mail delivered to our house each week, I never have to worry about having enough paper to organize my daily "to do" lists. I also use them to capture ideas while driving, so there's always some in my car instead of index cards. Afterward, we recycle them, but at least they get a second use.
Also, yes, that's a standing desk -- we found the lectern at a sale a two years ago, extremely cheap (more recycling).
Standing and having my guitar(s) right next to me (and plugged in to the computer) at all times has been the best thing for my song writing and productivity!
Speaking of which, here some other links to hear/stream/buy our record!

It is also recommended to restrict access to your system by limiting users root access with the su command.
The root user is part of the wheel group by default and doing this will permit only members of the administrative group wheel to use the program.

Primary Producers Legal Handbook
Primary production is the second most important Queensland industry after mining and is the bedrock upon which our State was founded. It is attributed, by Government forecasts, to be worth some $15.12 billion to the State for the 2012/2013 year, and is one the State's the major job providers.
This Guide was produced with the assistance of Messrs Thynne & Macartney, which has one of Australia's leading practices in agribusiness and acts for a broad range of rural clients including some of Australia's largest public and private grazing enterprises.
Its purpose is to assist primary producers and reflects the law as at 30 June 2012. It is not intended to be a substitute for specific advice about a particular problem which should, of course, be referred to a solicitor or where appropriate, to the particular industry association, but seeks to give primary producers a broad understanding of the various State and Commonwealth laws. These provide, in effect, a regulatory regime for the modern farmer and grazier. It is a very useful tool to alert primary producers to the most significant legal issues.

Indie-folk singer-songwriter Henry Wolfe lives in Eagle Rock but wrote most of the songs for his new release, Linda Vista, while living in Laurel Canyon. The CD takes its name from street Wolfe drove up every day to the recording studio and its pretty views. He'll be celebrating the release with a Monday-night residency this month at the Bootleg Theater.
Mexico feels so much like an interruption from the norm, in that it's so far off the beaten path and yet so close. It's like driving into another century or something.


Two and a half months ago, I mentioned that 24 and The Girl Next Door actress Elisha Cuthbert has a blog (link via goldenfiddle) hosted at the NHL website where she writes about hockey, which is rather befitting since she is a Canadian and Canadians do love hockey.
Guess she's been too busy with her boyfriend (LA Kings player Sean Avery) and her reprising the role of Kim Bauer on 24 this season to continue writing on her blog, which has had only four posts thus far. That slacker!
Nothing against Cuthbert, but I gotta say these first several episodes of "24" have been heaven without Kim in them. I literally dread when she'll finally show up.
Yeah, not a blogger. Actually insulting that she got some press from the whole deal.

"Falahatpisheh said the meeting was centered on the importance of IRGC missile power, today's achievements and the future plans and Iran's role in the region".
He said that "Russia hasn't embraced Western values of freedom and global cooperation" and added that "Iran has blatantly disregarded U.N. Security Council resolutions".
Iran's missile program serves as an effective defensive and deterrent tool against foreign threats.
It does not, in fact, ban Iran from undertaking any activity related to ballistic missiles, a point of criticism for opponents of the deal. Nikki Haley, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, added that the move was "dangerous and concerning, but not surprising".
Earlier, U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton tweeted: "Iran just test-fired a ... ballistic missile capable of reaching Israel and Europe".
In this file picture taken on November 26, 2018, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley addresses the UN Security Council during a UNSC meeting on Ukraine at the United Nations in NY, the United States. But the separate continued development of Iran's missile programme is risky and provocative.
The United States decided in May to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions on Iran, to the dismay of its Europeans allies. The wording does not explicitly forbid missile activity, effectively opening a loophole for test firing to continue should Tehran, which insists its missile programme is for defensive purposes only, so wish. Yet the European leadership has been wary of taking such steps, nonetheless.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo mounted a staunch defence of U.S. foreign policy on Tuesday, arguing that Washington is building a world order to fight cynical abuses by Russia, China and Iran.
In June, two Iranian operatives were arrested while attempting to travel into France with explosives and a detonator.
The US should stop abusing the Security Council to further its mischievous policies against Iran.
The affected states naturally responded to these threats by urging collective action to confront Iranian terrorism and undermine relevant networks.
"The goal of America and its regional allies is, through exerting pressure and economic shortages, to say we have hit a dead end on the threshold of the 40th anniversary of the Islamic revolution", said Zanganeh, as reported by Reuters, citing the oil ministry news agency SHANA.
"When you see tunnels in Lebanon, it's connected to ballistic missile tests".
This could still change, however, as the council is expected to meet again on December 19 to engage in a broader discussion about the implementation of the relevant resolution.
In what may be a relevant example of a unilateral response, Business Insider reported on Tuesday that a U.S. aircraft carrier was en route to the Persian Gulf for the first time since the USS Theodore Roosevelt left eight months ago.
Britain, France and Germany - the three remaining Western powers still part of the nuclear agreement - had sent a letter to the council, which was circulated Tuesday, saying Iran's earlier launches of Zolfaqar and Qiam short-range ballistic missiles on September 30 and October 1 "are inherently capable of delivering nuclear weapons". "This is the most important thing that we must do and the government is putting forth all its efforts on this issue".
The Trump White House claimed Iran was an increasingly malign presence in the Middle East, having cultivated significant influence through wars in Syria, Iraq and Yemen.
James's Park side looked prime candidates for relegation from the Premier League this season after a woeful start to the season. The Sports Direct and House of Fraser boss did not name the prospective buyer of the Premier League club.
Meng's arrest comes amid a year-long USA government campaign against a company it views as a national-security threat. The report said existing Huawei equipment at the firm's current 3G and 4G networks would also be removed.
Derrick Rose , Jimmy Butler , Pau Gasol and Nikola Mirotic were among the departures as the Bulls tried to find the right formula. Hoiberg's recipe for success was clear to everyone who followed his team, everyone except those running the Bulls organization.
The Chelsea boss will be rotating some players for the game especially with a game against Manchester City coming up next weekend. Chelsea , who sit fourth, host leaders City on Saturday and Sarri was annoyed at their complacency.
The team boasts of a battery of young Indian stars which include captain Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw. They have released them into the auction pool alongside Glenn Maxwell , Mohammad Shami and Jason Roy as well.
Moon said a second summit between Kim and Trump will prove to be the "most critical moment" for North Korea's denuclearisation. President Donald Trump also holds a very positive view of the current situation", he confirmed.
Louis, Mo. have sent out survey teams to affected areas to determine a count on how many tornadoes broke out across the state. Among the hardest hit areas appears to be Taylorville, a small town that sits about 25 miles South and East of Springfield.
The activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has a bone to pick with phrases it says are anti-animal. PETA's Emily Rice told The West Australian the new suggestions would remove "speciesism" from conversations.


The Best From Rolls-Royce , With Love.
Rolls-Royce brings you… The Diamond Car!
No, we're not kidding. Rolls-Royce just custom made a Ghost incorporating a 1000 crushed diamonds into the paint.
This customized unit is called Ghost 'Elegance'. The paint itself took 2 months of research and rigorous testing before the diamonds could be incorporated in the paint which the give the car its radiance and 'Elegance'.
The paint has been applied only to the top section and is covered by an extra layer of lacquer to protect the diamond particles. It goes without saying that the paint job and polishing have been done by hand rendering the paint smooth and the diamonds undetectable.
Weren't they expensive enough already? Well, they'll surely surpass this soon enough!

/ Corporate / BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye Team Up to Bring Fully Autonomous Driving to Streets by 2021
BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye Team Up to Bring Fully Autonomous Driving to Streets by 2021
Matt Ball on July 7, 2016 - in Corporate, Planning, Transportation
BMW Group, Intel, and Mobileye are joining forces to make self-driving vehicles and future mobility concepts become a reality. The three leaders from the automotive, technology and computer vision and machine learning industries are collaborating to bring solutions for highly and fully automated driving into series production by 2021.
The future of automated driving promises to change lives and societies for the better. But the path to get to a fully autonomous world is complex and will require end-to-end solutions that integrate intelligence across the network, from door locks to the data center. Transportation providers of the future must harness rapidly evolving technologies, collaborate with totally new partners, and prepare for disruptive opportunities.
Together with Intel and Mobileye, the BMW Group will develop the necessary solutions and innovative systems for highly and fully automated driving to bring these technologies into series production by 2021. The BMW iNEXT model will be the foundation for BMW Group's autonomous driving strategy and set the basis for fleets of fully autonomous vehicles, not only on highways but also in urban environments for the purpose of automated ridesharing solutions.
BMW Group, Intel and Mobileye are convinced that automated driving technologies will make travel safer and easier. The goal of the collaboration is to develop future-proofed solutions that enable the drivers to not only take their hands off the steering wheel, but reach the so called "eyes off" (level 3) and ultimately the "mind off" (level 4) level transforming the driver's in-car time into leisure or work time. This level of autonomy would enable the vehicle, on a technical level, to achieve the final stage of traveling "driver off" (level 5) without a human driver inside. This establishes the opportunity for self-driving fleets by 2021 and lays the foundation for entirely new business models in a connected, mobile world.
On July 1, 2016, the three partners were present at the BMW Group Headquarters in Munich to express their commitment to strive for an industry standard and define an open platform for autonomous driving. The common platform will address level 3 to level 5 automated driving and will be made available to multiple car vendors and other industries who could benefit from autonomous machines and deep machine learning.
The companies have agreed to a set of deliverables and milestones to deliver fully autonomous cars based on a common reference architecture. Near term, the companies will demonstrate an autonomous test drive with a highly automated driving (HAD) prototype. In 2017 the platform will extend to fleets with extended autonomous test drives.
"Today marks an important milestone for the automotive industry as we enter a world of new mobility. Together with BMW Group andIntel, Mobileye is laying the groundwork for the technology of future mobility that enables fully autonomous driving to become a reality within the next few years," said Mobileye Co-Founder, Chairman and CTO Professor Amnon Shashua.
"Mobileye is proud to contribute our expertise in sensing, localization, and driver policy to enable fully autonomous driving in this cooperation. The processing of sensing, like our capabilities to understand the driving scene through a single camera already, will be deployed on Mobileye's latest system-on-chip, the EyeQ®5, and the collaborative development of fusion algorithms will be deployed onIntel computing platforms. In addition, Mobileye Road Experience Management (REM) technology will provide real-time precise localization and model the driving scene to essentially support fully autonomous driving."
Intel brings a comprehensive portfolio of technology to power and connect billions of smart and connected devices, including cars. To handle the complex workloads required for autonomous cars in urban environments Intel provides the compute power that scales from Intel® Atom™ to Intel® Xeon™ processors delivering up to a total of 100 teraflops of power efficient performance without having to rewrite code.
"Highly autonomous cars and everything they connect to will require powerful and reliable electronic brains to make them smart enough to navigate traffic and avoid accidents," said Intel CEO Brian Krzanich. "This partnership between BMW Group, Intel andMobileye will help us to quickly deliver on our vision to reinvent the driving experience. We bring a broad set of in-vehicle and cloud computing, connectivity, safety and security, and machine-learning assets to this collaboration enabling a truly end to end solution."
With its Strategy Number ONE > NEXT, the BMW Group has developed its framework to remain the driving force behind premium individual mobility. This approach will become driving reality with the BMW iNEXT model in 2021, heralding a new era of mobility.
"At the BMW Group we always strive for technological leadership. This partnership underscores our Strategy Number ONE > NEXT to shape the individual mobility of the future," stated Harald Krüger, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG. "Following our investment in high definition live map technology at HERE, the combined expertise of Intel, Mobileye and the BMW Group will deliver the next core building block to bring fully automated driving technology to the street. We have already showcased such groundbreaking solutions in our VISION NEXT 100 vehicle concepts. With this technological leap forward, we are offering our customers a whole new level of sheer driving pleasure whilst pioneering new concepts for premium mobility."

Are we really free to say what we want in a liberal democracy? Or has being Politically Correct now been replaced by anti-political correctness? In this book, Middlesex Professor, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, argues that PC made public discourse more civilized. And that when people say what they damn well want, you end up with trolls, Trump and Farage and a nasty, toxic environment.
Journalist of the Year, Yasmin Alibhai Brown is a broadcaster and author of several books. A columnist for the i and the Mirror, she is a well-known commentator on diversity, immigration and multiculturalism. She is the author of Refusing the Veil and her most recent book is Exotic England. She was awarded Broadsheet Columnist of the Year at the 2017 Press Awards.
Yasmin says: – "Libel laws, editorial judgements, broadcasting restrictions, the political atmosphere all impose limits on free speech. And yet when women, minorities, young, LGBT and disabled people object to demeaning language or, indeed, demand equality, traditionalists shout out 'It's PC gone mad'. There are leading voices in this country- people like Boris Johnson, Julie Burchill. Ken Livingstone- who stoke up ugly passions in the name of freedom. Without self-moderation, our streets, schoolyards, public transport, waiting rooms and restaurants would turn into bear pits. Most citizens understand that. Some, however, seem determined to cause disorder in the name of free speech. Powerful, Machiavellian and wealthy individuals are leading this disruption and breaking the old consensus.
Thus, anti-political correctness has taken over the UK and US, spearheaded by some of the most influential voices in media and politics. Invective, lies, hate speech, bullying, intemperance and prejudice have become the new norms. Intolerance is justified through invocations of liberty. Restraint is oppression. A new order has been established in which racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia are proudly expressed." In this powerful new book, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown puts forth a spirited defence of political correctness, forcefully arguing that, despite many failures, this movement has led to a more civilised, equal and tolerant world. By tracing the history and definition of the term, Alibhai-Brown looks to clarify the very nature of PC, which is ultimately grounded in human decency, understanding and compassion – all of which are essential for a safer and kinder world.

I am in favor of law that takes all illegal parked cars and tows them to an impound reycle lot where they are investigated for links to crimes as well as a history check. Where its been ... how many drivers used it ... etc.
Completely document its condition and then remove everything from its interior and recycle the car.
Plus fine the owner, the driver, and the passengers as accesories.
This action does not legaly stop car payments from required pay.
You still pay for your cars payments ... you just no longer havea car.
Keep in mind, in Japan, death is seen as more favorable than losing a bit of face. Imagine if someone on YouTube with millions of subs killed themselves after losing three subscribers, that's basically what it's like.
Note to self: When come to power, petition the construction of car vending machines and institute Japanese tow rules. Everyone will hate me but who cares? The roads will be clear.
Asians are just ahead of everyone.
Anyone get this on recommendation?
I think after a week my mirrors are full. And Tokyo can have my car. It's cheaper to buy a other piece of junk.


I am going to be in Vienna next week, and will have the day free to undertake some birdwatching on Monday (16 October).
I was wondering if anybody could provide me with contacts / guides / information on places to go (and how to get there).
I have tried Birding Pals without luck, and my surfing has yielded Neusiedler See and Donau-Auern as interesting places, but no information on distance and accessibility from Vienna.


Laser treatments are effective in the removal of pigmented and vascular lesions, with results that can immediately be seen – and are definitely long lasting. The laser treatments not only improve the appearance of the skin that may have been marred unattractive by pigmented or vascular lesions – the treatments also effectively goes deep into the skin's deeper layers to address the root cause of these conditions.
Freckles – Spots on the skin that have a brownish colour.
Lentigines – Spots on the skin that are flat and brown; these are caused by the frequent or excessive exposure of the skin to the sun's harmful rays.
Keratoses – Pigmented spots on the skin that are slightly raised.
Laser treatments in Kent can effectively treat pigmented lesions by emitting a beam of light directly onto the affected areas of the skin; this results to the destruction of the pigmented lesions (and thermal damage deep into the skin), while leaving the healthy parts of the skin undamaged. The treatment course can be done in a span of a few weeks, but visible results can be seen immediately after each laser treatment session.
Rosacea – These are red facial lesions that cause a permanent flushed or sunburned look.
Spider Angiomas – These are slightly spider-like lesions that have a raised and red appearance.
Cherry Angiomas – These are red lesions on the skin that are slightly raised.
Telangiectasia – These are spider veins that can be seen on the face.
Laser treatments for vascular lesions direct a concentrated beam of light into the part of the skin where the vascular lesion is located; the light is then converted into heat to destroy the blood vessel, while leaving the surrounding skin and tissues intact and unharmed.
Requires no down time – Laser treatments can be done without requiring any down time for the patient. An individual can undergo laser treatments for pigmented or vascular lesions and go back to work, or to other normal activities immediately afterwards.
Anaesthesia usually not required – The use of anaesthesia is usually not required in laser treatments for pigmented and vascular lesions, although this will still depend on the specific skin condition – and on the patient's own pain threshold. Very little to no pain will be experienced with the procedure; some patients liken the sensation to a mild tingling feeling.
Outpatient procedure – Laser treatments are performed as outpatient procedures, so there is no need for the patient to be admitted to the hospital; this translates to less expenses, and less inconvenience for the patient.
