Bengal has a glorious football tradition, even before the concept of dividing countries with borders came into effect in this region. Football in South Asia before the undivided Bengal was all about the footballers hailing from the Bengali community. Kolkata, the then capital of British India, was the hub of major football activities, starting its traces from the second half of the 19th century with the establishment of clubs like Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and Kolkata Mohammedan. The place was later graced by one of the greatest footballers India have ever produced - Syed Abdus Samad, popularly known as Magician Samad or Football Wizard. Samad spent the initial stages of his glorious career at Tajhat Football Club of Rangpur before moving to Kolkata Football League, which was usually dominated by the players from East Bengal. When Bagan became the first Indian team to win a major football tournament, the IFA Shield, there were eight key players on the pitch hailing from the eastern part of Bengal. The IFA Shield is known as the fourth oldest tournament in the world. The competition was always ruled by the players from British Army until Bagan broke the 18-year jinx in 1911. Ten out of the 11 players played barefoot in the final against a team, whose players all wore boots. The introduction of the Dhaka first division league 17 years after the inception of the Kolkata League increased the football activities among the existing clubs of Bengal like Wari Club, East End Club and Victoria Club and also among the students of Jagannath College and Dhaka College. [caption id="attachment_250404" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Islington Corinthians' India tour brochure. Corinthians won 27 out of 32 matches in their India tour[/caption] A popular British team named Islington Corinthians traveled around four continents to play 95 matches from 1932-39. During their India tour, the Corinthians contested 32 games against different opposition, winning 27 ties, drawing four times and losing only once. They toured India at the end of their fifth year of the global tour and their India tour was termed "extremely successful" as they defeated every top team in South Asia like Bagan, All Indian XI and IFA XI. The Corinthians conceded their only defeat in India against Dhaka XI, formed mostly by college and university-going players and organised by Dhaka Sporting Association. Pakhi Sen had scored the all-important goal for Dhaka XI. Football back then was so popular that 55,000 people watched the game between the Corinthians and All India XI in Kolkata. Some people however, say the number of spectators was beyond 100,000. In another Corinthians match in Chittagong, 77,000 fans were present. People from all over the region attended the matches, as far back as hundreds of miles. It was said the Indian spectators were "mad about the game". [caption id="attachment_250399" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Members of the Mohammedan Sporting Club Limited of Dhaka in 1952[/caption] The partition divided the top Bengali footballers into two separate nations. Majority of the Hindu Bengali footballers settled permanently in West Bengal and continued to dominate Indian national sides for decades afterwards. Those who remained in the other part of Bengal were consistently neglected by the Pakistan government and some of them later moved to Kolkata permanently. Former Mohammedan Sporting Club Limited goalkeeper Balai Dey made his debut for Pakistan during their China tour in 1964 before switching his nationality to Indian in the following years. He played for East Bengal and Bagan and also broke into the Indian national team in 1969. He earned the title "Indian Rock" for outstanding performances in the Merdeka Cup in Malaysia in the same year. Despite having the best footballers in the then Pakistan, very few players from East Pakistan were called up to the national team while fewer got the opportunity to play in the starting XI. It was a common scene in the 1950s. After a series of failures in international matches, West Pakistan started giving chances to the ones from East Pakistan. The 1960s was and still is regarded the "golden era" of Pakistan's football history and most of the success came riding mainly on the Bengali players. And after Bangladesh earned its sovereignty, the 1970s was considered Pakistan's "darkest era" in football. [caption id="attachment_250403" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Ghulam Sarwar Tipu (R) in action during the five-nation Friendship Cup Tournament against Iraq in Tehran in 1969 GHULAM SARWAR TIPU[/caption] Ghulam Sarwar Tipu broke into the Pakistan national team in 1967 replacing Makrani left-winger Moosa, who used to be popular in the Kolkata League. Tipu informed Dhaka Tribune that only 23 Bengali-speaking players from East Pakistan got the chance to play for Pakistan national team in 23 years. Among those names, he mentioned goalkeeper Manjur Hasan Mintu, defender Gajnavi, Nurunnobi Chowdhury and the famous attacking trio of Ashraf Chowdhury, Kabir Ahmed and Ching Hlang Chowdhury Mari, who started played for Pakistan from 1958-60. The greatest footballer among them was perhaps Mari, who was unofficially the top-scorer of the Dhaka League, and after retirement, he also left vital contributions at Bilonia camp during the liberation war. As soon as the liberation war began, many players from their respective regions crossed the border and stayed in different places in India, like Kolkata, Agartala, Balurghat and Krishnanagar, among others. Around 20 known footballers started playing in different leagues in the capital of Tripura while some of them formed a team, titled Joy Bangla XI, captained by Kaikobad. After the Swadhin Bangla team were formed, the footballers living near the borders were gathered at one place including the ones from Agartala. Known officially as Bangladesh Ekadosh, the Swadhin Bangla team played a crucial role in creating awareness as well as raising funds during the liberation war. Following the opening game against Nadia Ekadosh in Krishnanagar in July, they played a total of 16 exhibition matches in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and mostly in different locations of West Bengal till November. There were also many footballers, including some members of the Swadhin Bangla team, who took up guns in their hands and fought for the country in the battlefields as well. Playing football barefoot was a norm in South Asia before world football's governing body banned the footballers from playing barefoot in the late 1940s. But it was still in practice in the domestic competitions in the following years. When the developed football nations were getting their modern football foundation underway, Bangladesh was fighting a war for independence. Bringing professionalism into the clubs, as well as ensuring regular training opportunities for the young talented footballers were never given attention back then.

Q: Does transistors and other semiconductors always require printed circuit boards (green ones) and soldering to connect Do the devices like transistors and other semiconductors always require to be connected in the printed circuit boards the green strips and do they always require to be soldered into the board , cant we just always use wires ?

A: Certainly not! In te extreme case, neither PCB nor solder are required.
This "Ladybird book" for young children shows how to "breadboard" a radio - it's pretty self explanatory, and you can start with an actual breadboard (if Mother no longer needs it for slicing bread!)

Obviously after the prototype stage, a PCB has obvious advantages of repeatability and ease af construction, and reliability, with no danger of those wires slipping out from under the cup washers.

A: No, you can just wire them together:

(from http://www.righto.com/2018/01/examining-1954-ibm-mainframes-pluggable.html)
There is also so-called "dead bug" soldering where you lay a chip on its back and build a circuit around it.
However, all mass-produced electronics will use a printed circuit board, as they can be assembled by machine and then soldered all at once in an oven. They are usually green but not always.
The other disadvantage of "dead bug" or other non-PCB manual assemblies is that they're more fragile.

A:
cant we just always use wires ?

Properly designed PCBs (green, red, blue or any colour within reason) will minimize connection loops that can (and inevitably will) be either a source of EMI or be susceptible to EMI. So, if you require a high performance EMC product you will use a PCB with at least a ground plane and appropriately close decoupling capacitors in noisy or susceptible areas. You won't get that with wires.
PCB ground planes: -

Wires cannot give anything like the robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance of a ground plane.

A: Sometimes, the PCB is a 'component' in its own right. But when it isn't, it becomes more of a practical and economic question.
Sometimes the PCB provides controlled impedance connections, or equal length connections between ICs. That would be difficult or impossible to reproduce with wires.
Often, for DC and low frequency circuits, the PCB 'only' provides electrical connection, and mechanical support. There's no fundamental reason why the components can't be glued to a substrate, and wired point to point.
In fact, when I'm developing circuits, I will often 'dead-bug' components (glue them upside down, with the legs sticking up in the air) and connect pins together with wire, or leaded components. However, while that works electrically for one prototype, it's completely economically infeasible for larger quantities, or production.
The fragility of a wired dead-bug board, compared to the robustness of a PCB, means that if I have time, then I will make a PCB even for one prototype, if it's more than a few components.

A: It depends on the application, some circuits will have such strict requirements that a wired construction simply would not work.

A wired construction would typically be limited on a number of parameters, the following spring to mind (not all these would necessarily be applicable at the same time).

*

*Assembly cost (both time and complexity)

*Assembly repeatability

*Physical envelope

*Electromagnetic Noise compatibility (both emitted and received)

*Speed requirements - Stray effects (inductance, capacitance)

*Transmission lines, impedance control, length matching etc

Cost and physical size is most likely the reason to why it is typically avoided in simple circuits where the signal requirements are not as demanding.

View source for Adam Schiff
← Adam Schiff
[[File:Adam Schiff.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Adam Schiff]] '''Adam Schiff''' is a member of the [[United States House of Representatives]] from [[California]]'s 28th district and chairman of the [[House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence]] (HPSCI) in the 116th Congress. Schiff is known for what many have described as his [[psychotic]] stare. Schiff came to national notoriety by cooking up "drug deals" in the closed-door basement bunker of the [[U.S. Capitol]] to overthrtow American [[democracy]]. In the 116th Congress, [[Nancy Pelosi]] appointed Schiff chair of the House Intelligence Committee. The committee was supposed to be looking into "Russian hacking" and the [[Obama administration]]'s domestic political spying. In the aftermath of [[Hillary Clinton]]'s [[2016 Presidential election]] loss, Democrats, Obama intelligence operatives, and the [[Progressive media]] put out the [[fake news]] story that "Russians hacked the DNC." Such reports were subsequently discredited.<ref>https://www.thenation.com/article/a-new-report-raises-big-questions-about-last-years-dnc-hack/</ref> In 2018 it was reported Schiff sought to obtain nude photos of [[President Trump]] from a foreign source to affect an election.<ref>https://nypost.com/2018/02/07/russian-radio-hosts-once-pranked-adam-schiff-with-promise-of-naked-trump-photos/amp/</ref><ref>https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-rep-digs-up-audio-of-schiff-saying-he-would-accept-dirt-on-trump-from-ukrainian-politician-in-prank-call</ref> Schiff is an avowed far-leftist adherent and prominent spokesperson for [[authoritarian]] and [[totalitarian]] ideology. ==Ukraine collusion== [[File:Schiff in Ukraine.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Schiff's staff colluded with Ukrainians the week of August 23 to August 31, 2019. While in Ukraine on the taxpayer dime digging up dirt from foreigners on his enemies to influence the 2020 election, Schiff tweets on August 28 about Trump and Giuliani, kicking off [[Deep State coup 2.0]].]] {{Main article|Ukrainian collusion}} Schiff has colluded with [[Ukrainian]] arms dealer [[Igor Pasternak]] at at several fundraisers.<ref>http://politicalpartytime.org/party/34974/</ref> A [[whistleblower]] complaint by [[Eric Ciaramella]] addressed to Sen. [[Richard Burr]] of the [[Senate Intelligence Committee]] and Adam Schiff was marked "urgent concern" alleging collusion between President Trump and [[President Zelensky]] of Ukraine.<ref>https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/20190812_-_whistleblower_complaint_unclass.pdf</ref> The [[Intelligence community]] Inspector General (ISIG) and Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) determined the complaint was not of "urgent concern" and [[DNI]] James McGuire acted properly.<ref>https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6429710-OLC-Opinion-Trump-Ukraine-Call.html</ref> The Dept. of Justice Office of Legal Counsel strongly rebuked ICIG [[Michael Atkinson]]'s original granting whistleblower status based on [[hearsay]]. interpretation of his responsibility with the complaint. In the OLC opinion, they point out that Atkinson's internal justification for accepting the whistleblower complaint was poor legal judgement. [[File:Schiff-Ukraine-600x370.png|right|300px|thumb|Invitation to a fundraiser in the home of Ukrainian arms deal Igor Pasternak for Adam Schiff.]] The whistleblower complaint was fabricated to deliver an outcome in the same way the ''[[Steele Dossier]]'' was fabricated to deliver an outcome. Lee Smith explains in ''The New York Post'' that 'Trump-Ukraine' became necessary because the Trump-Russia 'obstruction' failed. What Democrats and their fake news media allies really want is to torpedo [[Attorney General]] [[William Barr]]'s probe into the origins of the [[Russian collusion hoax]]. The whistleblower complaint and news reports of a call to [[Australia]] both serve the same dual-purpose: to advance the anti-Trump conspiracy and to shield its perpetrators by smearing Barr and discrediting his investigation into the origins of Spygate. The whistleblower's written complaint, based entirely on hearsay, presents Trump's request that the Ukrainian leader work with Barr to "get to the bottom" of the collusion hoax as part of the alleged ''quid pro quo''. That suggests the whistleblower and his confreres in the intelligence apparatus are worried about Barr's investigation and what it will uncover about their spying on the Trump campaign. The FBI's investigation began in July 2016, based on a tip from [[Alexander Downer]], then Australia's envoy to [[Britain]]. He alleged that Trump volunteer [[George Papadopoulos]] told him that the Russians had damaging information on Clinton. ==Impeachment scam== To negate the bad news stories coming out about the [[Obama administration]], Clinton campaign, and DNC illegal activities during the [[2016 presidential election]], Schiff opened an ''[[impeachment inquiry]]'' of President Trump without an authorization by the full House of Congress. Schiff's intelligence committee is not the committee of jurisdiction handling impeachment probes under constitutional due process. Schiff's handling of his so-called "impeachment inquiry" has violated [[6th Amendment]] [[due process]] rights of the accused, denying the right of counsel, to cross-examination, and to present evidence and witnesses. The inquiry was mounted on [[hearsay]] and manufactured hearsay evidence. Many have likened the Schiff hearings to the [[Stalinist show trials]] of the 1930s. Schiff is a sponsor of the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]]-style [[Medicare for All]] bill. Upon ascending to the chair Schiff said he would only speak with [[Julian Assange]] "when he's in chains."<ref>https://consortiumnews.com/2018/11/14/us-intel-will-bring-assange-to-us-in-chains/</ref> When the pre-fabricated term "''[[quid pro quo]]''" failed to catch on with [[CNN]] viewers as a basis for abrogating constitutional rights and nullifying elections,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8Xomryg6Ac&t=171s</ref> Schiff switched to "bribery,"<ref>https://nypost.com/2019/11/12/democrats-word-games-show-they-cant-find-a-true-impeachable-offense/</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/Breitbart/posts/10163980012850354</ref> the implication evidently being that when the [[executive branch]] disburses funds authorized by Congress, the chief executive can be held to account for bribery. A focus group conducted by the [[DCCC]] in key swing states of the [[2020 presidential election]] found voters reacted more positively the term "bribery" rather than "''quid pro quo''" as an impeachable offense.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/pelosi-calls-trumps-actions-bribery-as-democrats-sharpen-case-for-impeachment/2019/11/14/0ee9a202-0702-11ea-b17d-8b867891d39d_story.html</ref> Biden threatened ethics complaints against any member who mentioned the alleged whistleblower's name, which made no sense being that Schiff stated he did not know who the whistleblower was. DNC talking points were immediately dispatched to [[mainstream media]] to drop "''quid pro quo''" and insert "bribery" as the key offense Schiff was looking for. Schiff has been widely criticized for his [[sexist]] and [[bigot]]ted treatment of female elected members of congress during his hearings.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2019/11/15/adam-schiff-does-not-like-it-when-a-republican-woman-speaks-without-his-permission/</ref><ref>https://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit/2019/11/15/adam-schiff-vs-elise-stefanik-no-cant-speak-right-now/</ref><ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/schiff-mansplains-committee-rules-to-gop-rep-elise-stefanik/</ref><ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/11/sexist-dem-adam-schiff-drops-the-gavel-refuses-to-let-female-gop-lawmaker-speak-then-allows-male-staffer-to-speak-instead-of-her-video/</ref><ref>https://www.foxnews.com/media/elise-stefanik-tweet-adam-schiff-matthew-dowd-tweet</ref><ref>https://dailycaller.com/2019/11/17/unfit-to-print-elise-stefanik-kellyanne-conway-impeachment/</ref> [[File:Schiff Simpson.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Glenn Simpson (right) colluded with Adam Schiff (left).

The date on the email was deliberately altered to 10 days earlier. Schiff took the bait in a [[Jeff Sessions|Sessions]] DOJ leak investigation and gave it to CNN. This identified the leaker. This also is why the DOJ and FBI were reluctant to comply with House subpoenas because of the presence of known leakers. The [[Carter Page]] [[FISA]] warrant application was given to the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees in March 2017, but as of July 2018 was never given to the House Intelligence Committee because of Adam Schiff's leaking. As members of the minority, Schiff effectively thwarted the House investigation of Trump-Russia collusion by illegal leaking. Journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote: {{Quotebox|[[File:Mifsud and Theresa May.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Joseph Mifsud]] with [[UK]] [[Prime Minister]] [[Theresa May]]. Schiff claimed Mifsud was "an agent of the Kremlin." Schiff is an indefatigable proponent of the most [[extreme]] and lunatic [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]].]] "Friday was one of the most embarrassing days for the U.S. media in quite a long time. The humiliation orgy was kicked off by CNN, with MSNBC and CBS close behind, and countless pundits, commentators, and operatives joining the party throughout the day...the Most Trusted Name in News™ spent 12 straight minutes on air flamboyantly hyping an exclusive bombshell report that seemed to prove that WikiLeaks, last September, had secretly offered the Trump campaign, even Donald Trump himself, special access to the [[Democratic National Committee]] emails before they were published on the internet. As CNN sees the world, this would prove [[collusion]] between the Trump family and WikiLeaks and, more importantly, between Trump and Russia, since the U.S. [[intelligence community]] regards WikiLeaks as an "arm of Russian intelligence," and therefore, so does the U.S. media.

This entire revelation was based on an email that CNN strongly implied it had exclusively obtained and had in its possession. The email was sent by someone named "Michael J. Erickson" — someone nobody had heard of previously and whom CNN could not identify — to Donald Trump Jr., offering a decryption key and access to DNC emails that WikiLeaks had "uploaded." The email was a smoking gun, in CNN's extremely excited mind, because it was dated September 4 [2016] — 10 days before WikiLeaks began promoting access to those emails online — and thus proved that the Trump family was being offered special, unique access to the DNC archive: likely by WikiLeaks and the [[Kremlin]]. It's impossible to convey with words what a spectacularly devastating scoop CNN believed it had...There was just one small problem with this story: It was fundamentally false, in the most embarrassing way possible...

The email was not dated September 4, as CNN claimed, but rather September 14 — which means it was sent after WikiLeaks had already published access to the DNC emails online. Thus, rather than offering some sort of special access to Trump, "Michael J. Erickson" was simply some random person from the public encouraging the Trump family to look at the publicly available DNC emails that WikiLeaks — as everyone by then already knew — had publicly promoted. In other words, the email was the exact opposite of what CNN presented it as being.

...[[Democratic Party]] pundits, operatives, and journalists with huge [[social media]] platforms predictably jumped on the story immediately, announcing that it proved collusion between Trump and Russia (through WikiLeaks). One tweet from Democratic Rep. [[Ted Lieu]], claiming that this proved evidence of criminal collusion, was retweeted thousands and thousands of times in just a few hours (Lieu quietly deleted the tweet after I noted its falsity, and long after it went very viral, without ever telling his followers that the CNN story, and therefore his accusation, had been debunked).

[[File:800px-Benjamin Wittes, 2013.jpg|175px|left|thumb|'''Benjamin Wittes''' of [[Lawfare]], associated with the Brookings Institution, has been in the forefront of the political weaponization of Law providing the sketchy legal framework under which both the 2017 [[Deep State coup]] and the 2019 [[impeachment inquiry]] were carried out.]][[Brookings Institution]]'s [[Benjamin Wittes]], whose star has risen as he has promoted himself as a friend of disgraced former FBI Director [[Jim Comey]], not only promoted the CNN story in the morning, but did so with the word "boom" — which he uses to signal that a major blow has been delivered to Trump on the Russia story — along with a GIF of a cannon being detonated. Incredibly, to this very moment — almost 24 hours after CNN's story was debunked — Wittes has never noted to his more than 200,000 followers that the story he so excitedly promoted turned out to be utterly false, even though he returned to [[Twitter]] long after the story was debunked to tweet about other matters. He just left his false and inflammatory claims uncorrected.

Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall believed the story was so significant that he used an image of an atomic bomb detonating at the top of his article discussing its implications, an article he tweeted to his roughly 250,000 followers. Only at night was an editor's note finally added noting that the whole thing was false.

It's hard to quantify exactly how many people were deceived — filled with false news and [[propaganda]] — by the CNN story. But thanks to Democratic-loyal journalists and operatives who decree every Trump-Russia claim to be true without seeing any evidence, it's certainly safe to say that many hundreds of thousands of people, almost certainly millions, were exposed to these false claims.

...[[CBS News]] claimed that it had independently "confirmed" CNN's story about the email and published its own breathless article discussing the grave implications of this discovered collusion.

Most embarrassing of all was what [[MSNBC]] did. You just have to watch this report from its "intelligence and national security correspondent" [[Ken Dilanian]] to believe it. Like CBS, Dilanian also claimed that he had independently "confirmed" the false CNN report from "two sources with direct knowledge of this." Dilanian, whose career in the U.S. media continues to flourish the more he is exposed as someone who faithfully parrots what the [[CIA]] tells him to say (since that is one of the most coveted and valued attributes in U.S. journalism), spent three minutes mixing evidence-free CIA claims as fact with totally false assertions about what his multiple "sources with direct knowledge" told him about all this. Please watch this — again, not just the content but the tenor and tone of how they "report" — as it is Baghdad Bob-level embarrassing.

Think about what this means. It means that at least two — and possibly more — sources, which these media outlets all assessed as credible in terms of having access to sensitive information, all fed the same false information to multiple news outlets at the same time. For multiple reasons, the probability is very high that these sources were Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee or their high-level staff members [Adam Schiff later admitted to leaking the false information<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/02/25/adam-schiff-admits-to-december-2017-leak-of-false-information-during-intelligence-committee-hearing/#more-146275</ref>], which is the committee that obtained access to Trump Jr.'s emails, although it's certainly possible that it's someone else. We won't know until these news outlets deign to report this crucial information to the public: Which "multiple sources" acted jointly to disseminate incredibly inflammatory, false information to the nation's largest news outlets?

...Did these "multiple sources" who fed not just CNN, but also MSNBC and CBS completely false information do so deliberately and in bad faith? Until these news outlets provide an accounting of what happened — what one might call "minimal journalistic transparency" — it's impossible to say for certain. But right now, it's very difficult to imagine a scenario in which multiple sources all fed the wrong date to multiple media outlets innocently and in good faith...

No matter your views on those political controversies, no matter how much you hate Trump or regard Russia as a grave villain and threat to our cherished democracy and freedoms, it has to be acknowledged that when the U.S. media is spewing constant false news about all of this, that, too, is a grave threat to our democracy and cherished freedom.

So numerous are the false stories about Russia and Trump over the last year that I literally cannot list them all. Just consider the ones from the last week alone: [[ABC News]] suspended a star reporter, [[Brian Ross]], after an inaccurate report that Donald Trump had instructed [[Michael T. Flynn]], the former [[national security adviser]], to contact Russian officials during the presidential race. The report fueled theories about coordination between the Trump campaign and a foreign power, and stocks dropped after the news. In fact, Mr. Trump's instruction to Mr. Flynn came after he was president-elect. Several news outlets, including ''[[Bloomberg]]'' and The ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'', also inaccurately reported this week that Deutsche Bank had received a subpoena from the special counsel, [[Robert S. Mueller III]], for President Trump's financial records.

...Here is just a sample of incredibly inflammatory claims that traveled all over the internet before having to be corrected, walked back, or retracted — often long after the initial false claims spread, and where the corrections receive only a tiny fraction of the attention with which the initial false stories are lavished:

*Russia hacked into the U.S. electric grid to deprive Americans of heat during winter ([[Wash Post]])
*An anonymous group (PropOrNot) documented how major U.S. political sites are Kremlin agents (Wash Post)
*WikiLeaks has a long, documented relationship with Putin ([[The Guardian|Guardian]])
*A secret server between Trump and a Russian bank has been discovered ([[Slate]])
*[[RT]] hacked [[C-SPAN]] and caused disruption in its broadcast ([[Fortune]])
*Russians hacked into a [[Ukrainian]] artillery app ([[Crowdstrike]])...
*Links have been found between Trump ally [[Anthony Scaramucci]] and a Russian investment fund under investigation (CNN)

That really is just a small sample. So continually awful and misleading has this reporting been that even Vladimir Putin's most devoted critics — such as Russian expatriate Masha Gessen, oppositional Russian journalists, and anti-Kremlin liberal activists in Moscow — are constantly warning that the U.S. media's unhinged, ignorant, paranoid reporting on Russia is harming their cause in all sorts of ways, in the process destroying the credibility of the U.S. media in the eyes of Putin's opposition...

At minimum, these networks — CNN, MSNBC, and CBS — have to either identify who purposely fed them this blatantly false information or explain how it's possible that "multiple sources" all got the same information wrong in innocence and good faith. Until they do that, their cries and protests the next time they're attacked as "Fake News" should fall on deaf ears, since the real author of those attacks — the reason those attacks resonate — is themselves and their own conduct."<ref>https://theintercept.com/2017/12/09/the-u-s-media-yesterday-suffered-its-most-humiliating-debacle-in-ages-now-refuses-all-transparency-over-what-happened/</ref>}} ===Xenophobia=== Schiff is an extreme [[Russophobe]].

A mother of one of the deceased filed a civil suit against Buck accusing the liberal donor of human trafficking and revenge porn, CBS News reports.

Here and here are the vacuum diagram for both the 1974 80 V8 engines of various configurations. In these V8 diagrams, the vacuum line to the base of the carb on the manifold actually indicates ported vacuum, not manifold vacuum. Yes, it's confusing. Also, in these diagrams "10 20 40" and "10 25 45" indicate FSJ's, while "80" indicates a CJ.

Q: Request focus for keylistener, not sure if i have focus or not? I'm not sure why when I press w my rectangle doesn't adjust accordingly.  Do I have my focus set up right, or do I need to request it from a separate class?  Should I be doing this in my drawingComponent class or in my "core" class?
package scratch;

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
import java.util.*;

public class drawingComponent extends JComponent implements KeyListener {

    Rectangle hello = new Rectangle(300, 100, 50, 50);

    public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2.setColor(new Color(255,25,0));
        g2.setFont(new Font("monospace", Font.BOLD+Font.ITALIC, 30));
        g2.drawString("nothing yet",300,320);
        g2.fill(hello);

    }

    @Override
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {

        if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_W){

             hello.setLocation(hello.x-50, hello.y);
             repaint();

        }

    }

    @Override
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {

    }

    @Override
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}

I have solved the problem by adding the following to my drawingComponent class.
setFocusable(true);
requestFocus();
addKeyListener(this);

A: You want to use Key Bindings, not a KeyListener for several reasons, but one being that you don't have to worry so much about focus with Key Bindings. Also, you'll want to in the future post a minimal example program that we can test, run and modify, something like this:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

import javax.swing.*;

public class DrawingComponent extends JPanel {
   private static final int PREF_W = 800;
   private static final int PREF_H = 600;
   private static final Color RECT_COLOR = new Color(255,25,0);
   private Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(300, 100, 50, 50);

   public DrawingComponent() {
      setUpKeyBindings();
   }

   private void setUpKeyBindings() {
      int condition = WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW;
      InputMap inputMap = getInputMap(condition);
      ActionMap actionMap = getActionMap();

      KeyStroke wStroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_W, 0);
      inputMap.put(wStroke, wStroke.toString());
      actionMap.put(wStroke.toString(), new WAction());
   }

   @Override
   protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
      super.paintComponent(g);
      Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
      g2.setColor(RECT_COLOR);
      g2.fill(rect);
   }

   @Override
   public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
      if (isPreferredSizeSet()) {
         return super.getPreferredSize();
      }
      return new Dimension(PREF_W, PREF_H);
   }

   private class WAction extends AbstractAction {
      @Override
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
         rect.setLocation(rect.x-50, rect.y);
         repaint();
      }
   }

   private static void createAndShowGui() {
      DrawingComponent mainPanel = new DrawingComponent();

      JFrame frame = new JFrame("DrawingComponent");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
      frame.pack();
      frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
            createAndShowGui();
         }
      });
   }
}

Also, call the super's paintComponent method in your override, else your JPanel won't erase the old images.


Katy, TX News (December 17, 2013) – In 2013, Firethorne reached two major milestones: topping 300 new home sales in one year for the first time and surpassing the halfway mark for the community's 3,400-home build-out.
The record-breaking 2013 new home sales – a total of 350 as of December 15, 2013 – represents a 25 percent increase over 2012 new home sales so far this year. Located in Katy/Fulshear, the 1,400-acre master-planned community has achieved 1,980 new home sales and 1,903 closings project-to-date.
"Whether they are moving across town, across Texas, the country or the world, new Houston-area homebuyers are attracted to the Katy/Fulshear area and to Firethorne in record numbers," said Firethorne General Manager Wayne Meyer.
He attributes Firethorne's continued success to its high-quality, family-oriented amenities, neighborhood spirit, top-rated public schools, and easy access to I-10, Houston's Energy Corridor and Texas Medical Center-West Campus.
According to Meyer, Realtors account for a significant percentage – nearly 86 percent — of new home sales in Firethorne. "Many of our residents relocate from overseas with energy-related jobs in the Energy Corridor," he noted.
A Katy resident for the past 32 years, Meyer has overseen each phase of Firethorne's steady growth, from site selection to helping map out the site plan, to development, which includes construction of the Visitor Center, two lake features, greenbelts with hike and bike trails, parks, sports fields, a resort-style pool, swim center with a regulation six-lane, 25-yard-long competitive lap pool, a Community Center with fully equipped fitness center and a Clubhouse for residents' private functions. Hand-in-hand with Firethorne's exponential growth came the construction of the community's first school, Ray and Jamie Wolman Elementary in Katy ISD, which opened in the 2012-13 school year.
The Firethorne builder team, spotlighted in four Model Home Parks, consists of Ashton Woods Homes, Coventry Homes, Highland Homes, Perry Homes, Plantation Homes and Ravenna Homes. The builder team was selected based upon the highest standards for design, quality, customer satisfaction and reputation.
Named for a resilient evergreen indigenous to the Texas prairie, Firethorne blends with the best nature has to offer. Lake Firethorne and the hike/bike trails make it the ideal venue to host the Rotary Club of Katy's Annual Katy Triathlon at Firethorne benefiting the Katy Rotary Fund that supports essential health, recreation and educational services for children in Katy Independent School District.
Firethorne, located in the acclaimed Katy ISD and Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, combines the vibrancy of West Houston with the small-town charm of Katy/Fulshear. It is strategically located on FM 1463, near the crossroads of the 1-10 West corridor, the Westpark Tollway and the Grand Parkway, 10 and 15 miles west, respectively, of the Texas Medical Center-West Campus and Houston's Energy Corridor.
To tour, take I-10 West and exit Pin Oak to FM 1463, visit www.firethorne.info, or call 281-693-1011.


Under the tree where the hawk landed was a little black box. When I looked closer I saw it bore the label of the Western Exterminator Company. This hawk was catching mice around what looked like a poison bait station.
When mice or rats eat poisoned bait they don't die right away. As they slowly bleed to death on the inside and run around disoriented and looking for water, they become little toxic snacks for raptors. After eating poisoned rodents, raptors experience the same effects as the intended targets of the poison, but usually at a slower rate as they are larger and ingest smaller amounts. Over time though, these effects aren't any less painful or lethal. In fact, about three quarters of dead raptors found and examined in San Francisco show signs of exposure to rodenticides.
I wasn't 100% sure if I was looking at a poisonous bait station, or perhaps another type of trap, so I visited Western Exterminator's website to see if they had some information. I clicked on "mice" from the menu and was rather surprised to see a large header image of a chinchilla accompanied by the text "Mice, you've probably seen them before." Not the most encouraging sign of professionalism when you look for rodent removal experts. They've only been doing it for a century... Either way, I found no detailed information on their traps, baits and poisons.

Next, I contacted RATS (Raptors Are The Solution), an organization that advocates against the use of rodenticides, precisely because of the effect it has on raptors, other wildlife and pets. I was just looking for an answer regarding the type of trap and if I should be worried about this hawk, but within an hour they were on the phone with Safeway and the City of San Francisco to get this issue resolved.
The folks at RATS found that while the parking lot is owned by the City, it is managed by Safeway and neither party is taking complete responsibility for the presence of the bait stations. There was some hope that they would remove the bait stations quickly though, so I went back today to see if the situation had improved and to see if there were more bait stations in the area. It turned out to be worse than I imagined. I counted a total of 10 bait stations, some located right next to pavement and walkways. Some clearly read "POISON DO NOT TOUCH" and at least two of the stations were damaged or opened so that the insides were exposed. Needless to say, an open bait box with poisonous snacks inside is a whole new type of hazard that should worry every dog owner in the area.
Three bait stations. One warning us about its poisonous contents, and two damaged ones with the inside exposed.
Regardless of whether any action is taken by either Safeway or the City, things don't look good for this hawk. Depending on how much poison was ingested and on if and how quickly the poison is removed, there is a good chance it will die from internal bleeding. It is not unlikely that other raptors are affected as well. Apart from red-tailed hawks, the beautiful red-shouldered hawk and majestic great-horned owl hunt throughout San Francisco. All three species have fallen victim to the effects of rodenticides in the past. Instead of being rewarded or encouraged, they are being killed while doing their part in maintaining our rodent problem.
If you or your business have a rodent problem and are looking for an effective and raptor-friendly solution, be sure to check out RATS' website, they have tons of tips and recommendations, as well as some examples of businesses that successfully switched from poison to traps.
If you don't have a rodent problem, don't do anything! Raptors will keep the populations in our parks and yards in check. They have millions of years of experience with rodent control and are doing a much cleaner job than those who, even after "nearly 100 years" in the business, can't tell the difference between a mouse and chinchilla.


In '93 I lived in Minneapolis and had a friend who was broad-sided pretty badly while driving his car. The car was totaled. I had been studying body positioning as a healing tool for a couple of years and worked on him the following day. He could barely climb the stairs to my studio he was so sore. We carefully got him onto my massage table and I got him fairly comfortable. Carefully I followed the small adjustments his body was making. After about 45 minutes he lay on his back with his left knee pulled almost up toward his chest, his right leg fully extended, both arms bent by his chest, his ribcage bent out to the right and his neck turned hard left! If this was how he was fairly comfortable, no wonder he had been sore!
I had all kinds of pillows and cushions supporting him in this complex pose as I slowly came to awareness that it was this exact position his body was in at the moment of impact during the accident! His left hip and knee had contracted to get his foot off the clutch pedal as his right foot jammed down on the brake. He had torqued his ribcage to the right as the car that broad-sided him pushed the inside of the car door into his left side, and he had twisted his neck left to see what was happening, all in an instant! Both his hands needed work as they were stuck in their "remembered" grip on the steering wheel, especially the thumbs and heels. In the next hour we got everything to release except the heel of each hand, which had really been squeezed hard in their grip on the wheel. They improved but remained a bit sore. My friend at one point, right after I clued him into how his body was taking him back to the "memorized" pose, burst into tears for a minutes or so, largely releasing the emotional component of the crash, and later walked home feeling pretty good. He has had no lasting affects from the crash.
I do a breath/stretching/weight workout at a gym three times a week. Last winter I noticed that repeatedly I had a pattern of feeling pain in my right leg from the foot up past the knee. It was a dull, broad pain and sufficiently uncomfortable that I favored that leg slightly while walking on it. As I slowly explored what positions contained comfort for the leg, I noticed that consistently the pain entirely left when I turned in the foot toward midline! For the rest of that workout and for the next couple of days, I made sure to keep my right foot turned slightly in while monitoring how that felt and keeping my breath relaxed. It consistently felt relaxed and at ease and within a few days all signs of tightness and soreness were gone!
Anytime I have a headache, which is rare, I do the following: as soon as I notice any tension or pain, I put one finger with the "pad" of the finger resting on the spot that is in the center of the tension. I let it rest there and allow my breathing to fully relax. Then I use the tiniest, subtlest of movements, almost no movement at all, to "feel" which way the spot under my finger relaxes, i.e. north or south? East or west? For each pair of movements I see which way, if either, feels more relaxed under my monitoring finger and just hold it gently in that direction for a moment while breathing full and relaxed breaths, not pressing, almost just suggesting the movement. I am aware of whatever thoughts or feeling come up during this, especially anything needing care. I almost without fail dissipate any tension on my scalp within a few minutes and it never fully develops into a headache!

Celebrate and Accelerate Female Leadership at the Canadian Water Summit
Blue Events Inc.
Today, the Canada-U.S. Council for Advancement of Women Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders called for a high-profile campaign to encourage women-led entrepreneurship. This matches with the Canadian Water Summit's desire to help elevate the conversation around Women in Water with our diversity brunch this June 21st.
So, we spoke to president and founder of Waterlution, Karen Kun about her thoughts on how accelerate the work of women entrepreneurs and the potential for female leadership in the water sector. "What excites me about this announcement today, is that I think it's about having a supportive network, but with content understood within sectors," said Kun. "From what I see in the water sector, the talent pools are strong. There's so many young, vibrant, educated women in the water sector."
The Council's third report, Attracting Women Entrepreneurs, Encouraging Women to Start Businesses, expressed confidence that such a campaign would boost the two countries' competitive advantage in the global economy. The report from the Canada-U.S. Council called for the You Are Ready campaign as one of four recommendations proposed by the third pillar of the council's five-pillar mandate. It also acknowledged the strides made by women entrepreneurs in recent decades but noted that women-owned businesses are generally small, with limited growth prospects, and heavily concentrated in a handful of sectors.
In the water sector, "there's still an inclination where you see more women on the policy side and more men on the technical side," said Kun, but she noted that's changing. At Waterlution's Water Innovation Lab events, she has seen a really strong female presence.

Kun imagines an even more robust program than that recommended by the Council. "I think there needs to be an institute set up for female collaboration," said Kun. "You need women meeting with each other and supporting each other's trajectory. I think women work very well on teams, and I think a leadership institute and collaboration could be part of it."
For Kun, an important goal is that structural programs create an environment in which women can elevate each other's confidence. "And I think that confidence is about increasing one's risk tolerance," she said.
The Council's report also noted that it's a high priority to expand the presence of women-owned businesses in sectors that are set to dominate the emerging digital economy, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the internet of things.
This aligns with Kun's thoughts, "[Women] need relevant, up-to-date information on where the market potential or career potential lies."

Government on corporal punishment in schools
Government has noted with concern incidents of corporal punishment at some schools as reported in the media.
GCIS Acting CEO, Phumla Williams says "whilst Government acknowledges the need to discipline children in order to encourage positive and responsible behaviour, such discipline must be done in a constructive manner and within the confines of the law. Teachers are encouraged to find ways to instil self-discipline amongst leaners without resorting to physical, emotional or psychological punishment.
The aim is to grow children to become responsible citizens through long-term corrective methods rather than through short-term punitive methods such as corporal punishment".
The South African Constitution protects the rights of children and in this instance the rights of learners. Learners must however appreciate that with every right comes responsibility. "Learners are therefore encouraged to do their part and play an active and constructive role in building their future. They must be at school on time, in classes learning, respect teachers, parents and fellow learners", said Williams.
During this Freedom Month, Government encourages learners to develop a consciousness of proactively practising values based on love, kindness, truthfulness and esteem for fellow South Africans. In addition, teachers and parents must assist in developing these qualities both within the family, which is the foundation of society and within communities in which they belong.
Working together we can do more.

Melissa Bolona (INTERVIEW)
Melissa Bolona stars in THE NEIGHBOUR which sees an unlawful citizen uncover the secret life of his neighbour and gets caught up in a cat and mouse fight for survival.
She will also be starring alongside Willem Defoe and Nicholas Cage in DOG EAT DOG which arrives in cinemas this November.
First of all, thank you for taking the time to speak to myself with Lookout UK. I just want to say, briefly talk about obviously your recent role in THE NEIGHBOUR.
Yeah, a role I'm very proud of.
Yeah, so how was that for you?
It was such a great experience. I learned a lot about myself as an actress and It was a great environment on set. It was definitely ... we were all very spoiled by it. Because it's one of those more small instrument experiences due to the limited number of cast members on it. So it was one of those rare experiences where it was just very easy and fluid and efficient.
Right, you certainly sort of look like you had a fun time in playing that role even though it was such a dark and twisted film.
Yeah, for sure, the irony of it all.
(laughs) So, how was it playing such a feisty character. How was it to actually play somebody who gave as good as the killers could give?
Yes. That was one of the things that really attracted me to the role. Amongst other things such as the challenge it was. I love to keep challenging myself as an actress and I love it when a girl like Sarah, or a girl like Rosie, just fends for herself and you know kicks some ass.
But, you know, there's nothing more kinda like girl power. That's something that really drew me to the film.
Definitely. And obviously the film leaves a little bit of a cliffhanger. Is it a role you'd like to come back to?
Oh absolutely. If they wanted to do a sequel to The Neighbor I would 100% be on board. But because, for the reasons I named. It was just such a great experience to be a part of and I was so attracted to the script and the story, I just think the movie came out tremendous and it's something I'm really proud of.
That's great to hear. Certainly the quality of The Neighbor was outstanding. I certainly look forward to seeing a return to the theaters if in fact the opportunity ever does come up. So, are you looking forward to ... are you currently working on any other horror projects?
Yes, I'm actually flying down to Mississippi next week to go back, you know, to the stomping ground where The Neighbor was shot, and I'm shooting a horror film called Malicious. It's actually the same producers as The Neighbor so I'm so excited to work with them again. I don't know if I'm allowed to say yet, but there's someone in this movie who was also in The Neighbor. But I will let them be the one to tell you.
Oh fantastic. It seems like you've made quite few friends on this film.
Yeah, absolutely. Everyone is so easy to work with and really really pleasant and I learned a lot from them being on set.
That's Great. So, for yourself, where do you see your future. Do you see yourself as one of the rising scream queens of the genre?
You know, I kind of flow wherever the wind takes me. I'm definitely a huge fan of the genre. Growing up me and my sister literally would try to watch all the horror film movies we could get our hands on. We were definitely horror film junkies. So, I'm a huge fan. But right now I just look at opportunities I think will be good to challenge myself as an actress and try new things and see what sticks. See what I'm good at. So hopefully everyone watching The Neighbor thinks that I'm good at sticking to that genre.
We certainly look forward to it. In regards to the films that you have partaken in, obviously The Neighbor is probably one of the most high profile roles of this year. I see you've also starring in, is it Dog Eat Dog with Willem Defoe and Nicholas Cage?
Yeah, Dog Eat Dog, another film I was in had a lot of success. They closed the Cannes Film Festival Directors Fortnight and they also were in the midnight madness section of the Toronto Film Festival. So excited to be a part of a film that people are really gravitating to and, it's one of those genres where there's a ton of violence and a ton of shootings and normally I don't watch those types of films. But when I saw this film I actually really really enjoyed it which is saying something because I don't typically watch those films.
We absolutely look forward to seeing that in the UK. I believe that's released next month over here.
Yes! It's going to be out in the UK, that's right.
Yeah, unfortunately we do get things a lot later over here.
(laughs) Yeah, I see.
You face off against obviously bounty hunters, kidnappers in The Neighbor, but obviously you've also had a history of fighting sharks in Shark Lake. Do you prefer fighting monsters or do you prefer fighting actual human beings?
Oh, that's a good question. I think I prefer fighting human beings. You can, I guess, see the results more. (laughs)
That's fantastic. Well thank you very much for taking the time to speak with us today. I'm a big fan I really appreciate you taking the time out.
Thank you so much for all your time.

Powerpoint Karaoke(ê) ou PPT Karaoke(ê) é uma variação do karaoke tradicional, na qual ao invés de cantar canções, os participantes devem realizar uma apresentação improvisada com base em um material escolhido aleatoriamente, projetado em uma tela. As apresentações utilizadas podem ser obtidas a partir de materiais compartilhados pelos presentes no local ou reitrados da Internet, utilizando temas previamente escolhidos ou não.

O nome de Powerpoint Karaoke é derivado do uso do Microsoft Powerpoint, o software para apresentação mais conhecido e utilizado, embora qualquer outro software para apresentação similar também possa ser utilizado para essa finalidade.

O Powerpoint Karaoke pode ser considerado uma simples diversão, um jogo (aonde o público escolhe os melhores apresentadores, em termos de desibinição, improvisação ou convencimento) ou mesmo uma forma de treino que permite aos participantes a aprimorar suas habilidades de apresentação e convencimento. É também considerado uma forma de teatro de improvisação.

Por vezes este termo também é ironicamente utilizado para se referir a apresentadores que, durante algum evento, passam seus slides pela tela e limitam-se a ler o conteúdo apresentado, de forma entediante para sua audiência.

Objetivo

O Powerpoint Karaoke oferece a possibilidade de profissionais treinarem e melhorarem a sua habilidades retóricas. Também serve para diversão entre um grupo de amigos ou durante um evento, e também representa uma paródia que destaca o absurdo encontrado em muitas apresentações profissionais existentes.

Como organizar

Embora não exista, necessariamente, um conjunto formal de regras a serem seguidas, uma forma de organizar um Powerpoint Karaoke consiste em reunir um grupo de amigos em torno de um computador acoplado a um projetor que serão utilizados pela pessoa escolhida para fazer o papel de apresentador.

Os materiais (arquivos) com as apresentações podem ser compartilhadas pelos presentes ou obtidos previamente através de sites que disponibilizam apresentações reais para download. Para tornar o Powerpoint Karaoke mais divertido e desafiador, recomenda-se escolher apresentações sobre temas variados, inclusive temas fora do conhecimento dos presentes ou materiais cujo conteúdo esteja em outras línguas, pois elas demandam maior capacidade de improvisação dos presentes. O material pode ser escolhido aleatoriamente ou pelo organizador do encontro, que atua como um juiz, mediador e/ou incentivador.

Para agilizar e tornar o desafio mais dinâmico, pode-se estabelecer um limite de tempo para as pessoas apresentarem o material escolhido, como 5 ou 10 minutos, por exemplo.
