I Pamphili (o Pamphilj) furono una famiglia nobile di Roma di origine umbra, strettamente intrecciata nella politica pontificia del XVI e XVII secolo.

Storia

Orirgini
La famiglia è originaria di Gubbio. Le sue radici si fanno risalire ad un certo Amanzio vissuto nel IX secolo e sceso in Italia al seguito di Carlo Magno.

XV secolo
Nel 1461 si trasferirono a Roma con Jacopo e Francesco, i quali divennero ben presto tanto ricchi e potenti da ottenere il titolo di Conti del Sacro Romano Impero dall'imperatore Federico III d'Asburgo.

Nel 1470 Antonio Pamphili acquistò una casa a piazza Pasquino e fece sposare il figlio Angelo Benedetto con Emilia Mellini, che gli portò in dote alcune case adiacenti che formarono il primo nucleo di Palazzo Pamphilj. In questo periodo, grazie all'amicizia col pontefice Sisto IV, ebbero vari incarichi di fiducia. Il figlio di Angelo Benedetto, Pamphilio, sposò Orazia Mattei, genitori di Girolamo Pamphili (1605-1610) che sarà cardinale vicario di Roma, incrementando il prestigio della nobile famiglia.

XVII secolo

Successivamente una serie di matrimoni, coi Mellini e i del Bufalo, ne aumentarono la potenza, tanto che i Pamphili innalzarono sul frontone della loro casa il blasone: una colomba con un ramo d'ulivo nel becco, sormontata da tre gigli d'oro. La definitiva affermazione della famiglia avvenne nel 1644, quando Giovanni Battista Pamphili fu eletto Papa con il nome di Innocenzo X (1644-1655). Questo Papa, descritto quale asciutto e collerico, si comportò da gran mecenate, proteggendo grandi uomini di cultura e artisti del suo tempo, come Athanasius Kircher, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Francesco Borromini, Pietro da Cortona, che per lui eseguirono numerose opere.

Sotto il suo pontificato la famiglia realizzò a Roma una propria villa (oggi Doria Pamphilj) e acquisì particolare prestigio la cognata del papa, Olimpia Maidalchini, nota al popolo come Donna Olimpia, che ebbe tra l'altro il merito di far riammettere nella corte pontificia Gian Lorenzo Bernini, caduto precedentemente in disgrazia per l'abortito progetto di elevare due campanili davanti alla facciata della basilica di San Pietro. Nel rispetto della tradizione nepotistica dell'epoca, il Papa creò cardinale il nipote Camillo Francesco Maria Pamphili, che tre anni dopo, il 21 gennaio 1647, rinunciò alla porpora per sposare il 10 febbraio dello stesso anno Olimpia Aldobrandini, principessa di Rossano, vedova del Principe Borghese ed unica erede degli Aldobrandini. La coppia ebbe cinque figli fra cui Benedetto (1653-1730), che sarà a sua volta eletto cardinale, come il padre, nel 1681 sotto il pontificato di Innocenzo XI.

XVIII secolo
I Pamphili furono eredi della famiglia bolognese Facchinetti, e perciò ottennero la dignità di senatori di Bologna nel 1685; occuparono fino al 1747 il seggio XXVI, e dal 1751 al 1760 il seggio XI. La linea maschile della famiglia si estinse nel 1760 con la morte di Girolamo Pamphili, IV principe di San Martino al Cimino e Valmontone. Nel 1763 Clemente XIII concesse al principe Giovanni Andrea IV Doria Landi (1705 – 1764) il cognome, le insegne e i beni della famiglia Pamphili, grazie alla parentela acquisita dal matrimonio tra Giovanni Andrea III Doria (1653 – 1737) e Anna Pamphili.

XX secolo

Da questo momento la famiglia si chiamò Doria Landi Pamphili. Ultimo personaggio di spicco della casata dei Doria Pamphili fu Filippo Andrea VI Doria Pamphili, eletto primo sindaco di Roma, dopo la liberazione dell'Italia durante la seconda guerra mondiale .

Stemma

Di rosso, ad una colomba d'argento, tenente nel becco un ramoscello d'ulivo di verde; col capo d'azzurro, caricato di due pali di rosso alternati con tre gigli d'oro.

Pipe Meditations (November 3, 2019)
by Brett Stevens on November 3, 2019
It is difficult to orient oneself when the ground keeps slipping beneath you. That might well describe this time, where political activity seems chaotic because it reflects a cultural battle that began long ago, in the 1990s.
During the previous decade, most of what had been happening with the culture wars went on hold. Carter screwed up badly and the media covered for him, since he was a True Believer like them, and then Reagan came in with a simple plan of Libertarianism, social conservatism, and beating the Reds.
The Left reprised their activities from the 1960s. Reagan became the new Hitler, despite having no Hitlerian attributes, and everyone who was "good" was mobilized — celebrities, academics, scientists, journalists — to constantly rail on how he was a nutcase who was going to end the world.
As it turned out, Reagan got the Soviets completely correctly, seeing them as an incompetent evil empire who could be goaded into self-destructing. Their weakness in the area of providing consumer goods plagued them because the entire world was living well on the industrial agriculture and manufacturing boom, but people in the Soviet Union could barely afford enough beets to make borscht. From a political standpoint, the worst aspect of this was that in theory, people would not need to fight over money in a Socialist paradise, but would simply get everything free in exchange for working.
Although there were political stumbles, ultimately what took the Soviets out happened when their citizens realized that they were living stone-age lifestyles compared to people in the West. Blue-jeans, Coca-Cola, rock 'n roll, Hollywood, and McDonald's became weapons of cultural warfare. Feeling like the kid in the corner who could not afford candy, the Soviet citizens became even more inclined toward low performance. Disasters like Chernobyl, which everyone knew about despite the news blackout, the uprising in Poland, the shooting down of KAL 007, and other crises which were muffled became elements of discontent. When Mathias Rust landed his small plane in Red Square, having flown in through the much-vaunted Soviet air defenses without detection, it seemed to announce the impotence of the old men trying to grind socialism into function through increasing militarism, espionage, and censorship.
On the surface, Reagan won. Stirring under the surface however the Leftist machine had gained total power. It unified an audience based on the idea that conservatives were intolerant, paralleling the civil rights struggle of the 1960s, and vaulted Bill Clinton into office with a promise to repair race relations in the style of LBJ, JFK, and FDR. He did this by establishing a new idea of not just tolerance but Black-first politics, essentially replacing American culture with Black culture in the eyes of the world. This resulted in the adoption of hip-hop by normal Americans, a loosening of social standards, and the formation of a party crew who wanted to smoke weed, have sex, and basically be libertine in the way they heard about on their gangsta rap records. Just as the Republicans skunked the Soviets with the more freedom and cool stuff in the West, the Left beat back the Right by portraying them as being intolerant of the ongoing party.
Things were good, back then. Cheap Chinese goods made everyday life more affordable, but even more, computers really kicked in, thanks mostly to Bill Gates standardizing desktop operating systems and the homebrew Linux operating system which took UNIX out of the mainframe lab and into embedded devices. Suddenly, we had even more consumer stuff, and it was good and cheap, and in the eyes of the Leftist base, this meant that we could stop doing all of that struggle and hardship we had during the Cold War and just let the good times roll. Clinton loosened lending, dumped money into the economy, issued tons of regulations that "created jobs," and encouraged Silicon Valley to go hog wild, and this created a huge wealth boom that only ended when a government minority lending program tanked the housing market. That took the rest of the economy with it, but the real story is that the economy never really came back. The wealth had gone to China, taxes had risen across the board, and prosperity had left us to go into government and come out through those nice fat government checks.
People started to detect this, so they elected George W. Bush, who had a triumphant first term and then decided to fight a police action in a place that loves fighting, death, and destruction. While our armed forces performed well, there can be no victory when you take over a place and pledge to stay there until democracy works. The locals will sabotage it simply to have you keep footing the bills, going home after working for you in the daytime to shoot at you at night. The second Bush term produced a massive loss of confidence as a result, the sick economy never came back and had another hiccup, and in a tantrum the voters elected Obama. What got him elected was the Clinton machine, funded by China and internationalist NGOs, which again mobilized a massive cultural wave against the Right, this time using political correctness to style anything except total acceptance of civil rights, diversity, homosexuality, and drug use as not just the opposition but wrong, morally bad, evil, and Hitlerian. The Reagan-era Leftist playbook worked, and conservatives had not figured out a way to follow up to Reagan, so they tried to imitate him, which made no sense in the post-9/11 world.
Much as the cultural wave succeeded, however, in the late 1980s and 1990s a counter-protest began. These were people who were less political than concerned that modern society had become bad, simply because it was now wrapped in rules and red tape and revealed the raw ugliness of the mob. When people form a group, opinions devolve to the lowest common denominator, and people revert to the fear and libertine desires that one might expect from animals which have lost their way, and so are indulging in food, sex, revenge, theft, and laziness out of a panic at the inscrutable future. While most of society was reprising the 1970s and indulging in a consumer festival of epic proportions, the saner ones were objecting to how controlling and conformist society had become, not to mention that it was based on the illusion of accepting everyone, which basically means that we abolish standards and become mediocre. Immigrants poured into the country under Clinton and Bush under the excuse of being a boost to the economy as the Boomers retired, taking whatever they could seize and making huge amounts of money in the stock market with the dot-com booms. While on the surface everything was glorious, under the surface the people who were discontented were no longer stereotypical losers, but the bright and creative. They were excluded by the conformity, which now added political correctness to office politics and the sickeningly indulgent victim culture which had enwrapped the USA and Europe. It was suddenly not just acceptable to mention being raped, abused, or enslaved, but seen as a badge of courage, especially as we were celebrating the Black and homosexual experience, even as we covertly replaced Blacks with Mexicans in many areas.
That 1990s spirit carries on to today; in many ways, the world stopped developing in the 1990s, since our technology has not really done anything new, nor have we found anything other than the mix of liberal democracy, civil rights, and entitlements which became the standard in the early 1990s as the social conservatism of Reagan receded under the cultural wave. The big change involves the founding heritage Americans, who picked up on not just identity politics (sometimes called white nationalism or white supremacism) but the cultural wave, figuring that we could style the Left as the new Soviets and not be wrong. Now the revolutionaries of the 1960s and their ideological descendants were in control and making a mess of things, so it was time to mock their inflexible dogma and a narrative as blacked-out and lacking credibility as the Soviet attempts to hide Chernobyl. The Right had no idea where to go after Reagan, but now, it finally started getting its guts back with an anti-demographic replacement, social conservative, anti-entitlements, and anti-globalist platform. Essentially, most Americans woke up to find that the 1990s really had radically changed this country and Obama had wrecked the economy and our international strength, and that if we did not start undoing Leftist policy from the 1960s-1990s we were going to crash out hard.
This in turn prompted another offshoot, since the Right thrives on internal competition because it has no ideology and instead relies on gut instinct and realism, which wanted us to go back further. In the 1920s, many conservative writers sounded the alarm that WW1 was not a war, but a permanent state into which we had descended. The Civil War era push for civil rights was already transforming America, the government and urbanization had become too powerful, and all of our traditions and normal ways of life were being swallowed up and replaced by a plastic, anonymous, honorless, and nastily individualistic modern life. People became neurotic because there was a huge disconnect between the official message and what we experienced in daily life, consumerism made life ugly and brainless, and our leaders increasingly made symbolic gestures and gave out free stuff instead of attacking problems. WW2 made us get our act together, briefly, and we ended up on top of the world by having the only standing economy, but the rot was deep within. Modern life was morally, intellectually, spiritually, and existentially unsatisfying because nothing had a point except ideology and money, and neither of those resonated with the traditional American values of productivity, creativity, independent thought, and finding some kind of balance and peace with the universe by appreciating nature and the intensity of existence. Modernity in fact aimed to dull the intensity of existence, replacing it with everyday fears and worries, while the media kept us in a state of WW2-style militarization with wars on drugs, racism, Satanists, and global warming. Instead of the pioneer spirit, we lived in fear of stepping out of line, and political correctness took that to the next level.
For those of us who started writing back in the day, the big point was that modern society had inverted natural life and in its place erected a horror just as bad as Communism, National Socialism, or Fascism. The System™ had become more important than reality; the ideology had replaced common sense, logic, and any notion of continuity with what America had been. The Leftists revealed themselves to be the same fanatics who executed whole families after the French Revolution on the word of anonymous informants, and they had made it clear that their endgame was to keep society in the 1990s forever. We had been hoping that like the Cold War, the 1990s was a passing phase, simply because it made a vapid and soulless society which mirrored the accusations of Left against the Right in the 1980s. Now, finally, people are speaking out against this, using social conservatism — family, culture, genetics, caste, faith, customs, nature — as the basis of a new movement which aims to stop our ecocide, stop demographic replacement, and get us out of the crazy internationalist Leftist movement which includes globalism and diversity.
We are using the cultural wave, and it is changing things faster than expected. These are changes at the bottom of a pyramid of cause and effect, so they do not manifest directly in political, economic, and social changes, but more in the discarding of faith in the old way of life and a recognition that it is hollow and destructive. This means that big changes are afoot, and if we suffer now, it is from not dreaming big enough. When I look at the news, I see indicators like bits of bright wood floating in the surf, but there are massive forces churning below that remain invisible. These forces mostly consist of the reaction to the leading edge of failures by liberal democracy, not only in the markets, but in the existential discontent that has rocked the West since WW1 and finally come to a head. Not only is life miserable, but our societies openly hate on us who are descended from the founding groups, and this pushes too far against even the mildest-mannered person.
The people currently in charge of the Regime have no idea that this is coming, just like Brexit and Trump caught them by surprise, but this is always how it is with any group that has an agenda and narrative. They are focused on symbolic victory, not understanding reality, and reality consists of long arcs of cause and effect with many grades of nuance in the middle, all of which are oblivious to people thinking in 2D categorical imperatives like the Regime defenders. Their plans have failed, and they have no idea, because all of them live in cushy government jobs where they have enough money to scatter around to buy off the ghetto, taxes, rising costs, and increasingly dysfunctional services. Public healthcare terrible? Go to a specialist at the cash price. Neighborhood full of violence? Hire private security to keep your gated community safe.
This is how humans think, on the personal level: they want to personally avoid the crisis, rather than undertake the (relatively) minor changes required to avoid society falling apart. The people who end up in charge of a regime are always like this, because they may be vicious, but basically they are the same kids who sucked up to the teacher and got good grades even though the material was drivel. They are conformists, obedient, me-firsters above all else who understand that obedience means material reward to them, and this is the only kind of reward they recognize, since they are disordered minds leading to them barely having souls. Empty within, and grasping voraciously, they consume everything around them in their quest for power, and will never see change coming because they are too busy "succeeding" at their "careers" within the Regime.
We are in for a heck of a ride. Everything that people currently think is wise, is idiocy; much of what they consider to be insane, impossible, unlikely, implausible, and unreal is in fact real, but we have suppressed it under waves of democracy, media, and popular opinion (which like all things succumbs to entropy and tends toward the lowest common denominator) for a century. Just think: a century ago, WW1 was just ending; a century before that, the Napoleonic Wars had just ended, kicking off only eleven years after the Leftists assumed power, then ran that system into the ground too with high taxes and so much equality that no one did anything. The same sea change that the Left once wielded is now upon them; as they say, the problem with having a guillotine is that some day it comes for you. The axeman has come for the Left, and the hysterical screeching and bad behavior we see now in the media is the attempted manipulation by the entitled who have succeeded in this system and cannot conceive of it ending. Things will get nasty for awhile, and then we will get a chance to repatriate all the ethnic Other and then, to filter our own people by sending all of our Leftists, insane, criminal, perverse, and stupid/incompetent to Venezuela. The remaining 160m Americans will have a lovely time.
Anyway, on to the news, or "signs of the decline":
Statement from Secretary DeVos on 2019 NAEP Results
This country is in a student achievement crisis, and over the past decade it has continued to worsen, especially for our most vulnerable students.
Two out of three of our nation's children aren't proficient readers. In fact, fourth grade reading declined in 17 states and eighth grade reading declined in 31. The gap between the highest and lowest performing students is widening, despite $1 trillion in Federal spending over 40 years designated specifically to help close it.
By expanding education freedom, students can break out of the one-size-fits all system and learn in the ways that will unlock their full potential.
Essentially, public education has failed because like everything else in America, it died on the cross of race and diversity. DeVos makes the only sane statement: allow white people — and anyone else with an IQ over 115 — to escape the failing public school system with school choice, then once no one uses the public schools but the impoverished and low-IQ, just turn them into the daycare that they already unofficially are and reduce costs by hiring security guards instead of teachers.
Nancy Pelosi Is Worried 2020 Candidates Are on Wrong Track
You can see how well the Italian-Americans integrated when you look at the Democrats and see that the ones that are not outright non-white are mixed-whites like Irish, Italians, Jews, Poles, Russians, and lawyers. Pelosi points out gently that the Democrats are divided between the whites who want liberalism (60% Communism) and the non-whites who want Full Socialism (90% Communism). This is a change from the 1960s, when the moderate liberals (50% Communism) could get along with conservatives, since liberals were basically commonsense but wanted the social safety net. As it turns out, if your Communism percentage creeps above zero, you are on the path to Full Communism and will never be able to escape. Pelosi knows that the white vote no longer determines who will win in America, and that first, it will determine that the only people the Left puts forward are essentially Socialists. This in theory means that the Left will not win an election, but in reality, the white Leftists will get behind the Party as they always do, and then try to "negotiate" after the fact, just like Buckleyite conservatives did when the Left took over. It is not going to happen; civil war is inevitable now.
Box Office: 'Terminator' Bombs Again As 'Dark Fate' Nabs Apocalyptic $10.6 Million Friday
New woke "Terminator" movie fails hard. This author points out rather sensibly that unless you want endless movies about a war between men and machines, the "Terminator" franchise really has nowhere to go and never has. The first sequel worked because it reprised the first movie using new special effects and a similar tense horror movie vibe; everything since has tried to be either sci-fi or a superhero movie and failed spectacularly. Now the movie industry brings out a new one with lots of Hispanic names on the marquee, which means that white audiences stayed home and minority audiences, who are less likely to dig epic stories and big concept sci-fi, also stayed home. Pretty much the only people in the movie theaters were Generation X looking at the audience and wondering how America got so destroyed so quickly.
Police searching for person who left flyers at OCU Law
IOTBW flyers cause panic. Apparently, not wanting to be genocided is a hate crime now. Then again, most people do not realize that the goal of the Left was always to replace us; they are parasites who latch on to a successful society, demand that it recognize them because they are human too, and then start taking through taxes to fund their bureaucracy, law firms, and other pointless activities. The end goal is for them to transition from being wealthy to being Inner Party members in the Politburo with total control. Essentially, Leftism is what happens when the human ego rages out of control and everyone normal is "too busy" working at make-work jobs and filing out red tape paperwork to do anything about it. You voted for this; it was not as obvious as lifting a gun to your head, but the result will be the same.
Smugglers are sawing through the border wall but officials say it's not an issue
Trump understands that democracy moves slowly because people in groups are effectively mentally retarded. First you build the basic wall, then when the voters see that it is being counteracted easily, you build a better one. The voters pay twice for the obstruction from Congress, but what does Congress care? Government money is free money. Only the suckers pay taxes.
Job time is free time too, for employers. They already have you there, and you are hired mainly as a redundancy anyway, so instead of just keeping you around to do what is necessary, they waste your time on lots of activities that look like important work. That way, your boss gets promoted; your boss' boss keeps his job; the company can claim to be important; the government can claim productivity is boosted; more taxes can be collected. It is a giant waste of time. The productivity boost of the four-day work week comes mostly from fewer meetings.
Ronan Farrow: Bill Clinton 'credibly accused of rape' by Juanita Broaddrick
Juanita Broaddrick is a more credible accuser than box wine sag princess Christine Blasey Ford or burnout Stormy Daniels. The Clintons just use people because the Clintons are little voids which suck in all life because they are empty inside. Look for the dead eyes. They always tell. Reptilians? Jews? No, just people who should be picking turnips because they have no mental organization, so their minds default to the lowest common denominator, which is to consume voraciously and accumulate wealth defensively. This is the psychology of the late stages of a civilization, and most of our upper middle classes consider this to be "wisdom" now, not noticing (apparently) that everyone in the third world thinks the same way. Do you want to be third world? Because this is how you make your civilization third world.
US white supremacist arrested in Norway
In the land of Breivik and Vikernes, the police try to remove controversy before it can take effect. Greg Johnson of Counter-Currents has been arrested on some charge or another relating to not being conformist enough in his political views, therefore a public health nuisance hazard, or language to that effect. The authorities think that if they repeat "white supremacist" enough, it will browbeat the population into being afraid of being anything like a white supremacist, but really what they have done is make the white supremacists the same type of appealing outlaws that gangsta hip-hop artists were in the 1990s. That will go over real well with a population that at some point realizes that if it draws a swastika or posts an "It's Okay To Be White" poster on every street corner, the police will become totally neutralized as they run around chasing down ghosts, and while they are distracted, power can be seized. Law enforcement used to attract athletic guys with a simple formula of banishing evil and supporting good, which goes 75% of the way, but does not include the final step of creating a structure that nurtures good. However, in the past, we had good guy cops; now, since the system is too insane to deal with, the police are mostly attracting grifters who want legal protection to steal and those nice fat government benefits. Just like in the third world!
Australia's government wants to allow religious people to discriminate
"Tolerance" is paradoxical because to be fully tolerant, you must accept everyone, which means that you can have no standards, culture, norms, or ideals. You must simply become passive and let everyone do whatever they want with no consequences, which we might call "anarcho-socialism" or some variant of that. If you tolerate Religion A, be prepared for the fact that they hate Religion B and for good reasons; these doctrinal differences reflect crucial splits in their philosophies. Now along comes Religion C which hates both. As you are dealing with that, here come the pedophiles marching down the street, the Nazis, the Hare Krishnas, the transgenders, the fundamentalists, and so on. You have created many conflicting special interest groups and your society will never have unity or function again. "Tolerance" is a hidden deathtrap.
Japan festival to show 'comfort women' film after backlash
Step one in the Leftist playbook: induce guilt. This brings self-hatred, and with self-hatred comes a new for something new, and the Leftists always claim that their "anarchy with free stuff and yet magically functional institutions" dream is "new" when in fact it is just the oldest human illusion given new public relations. The grim fact is that Japanese forces raped and killed a lot of people. So did the Allies. It is time to stop our worship of WW2. One does not have to like Hitler to point out that it and the previous world war were moronic efforts set up by the quest for global liberal democracy, which is a Leftism aim and belongs to no other group. As always, remove Leftists, and you solve the problem. Leftists are probably the result of deleterious mutations anyway, since they are caste-jumpers who cannot accept that their role is picking turnips. If we remove all of them, we regain a great deal of genetic health. They would be happier in Asia, their ideological home, which might introduce some necessary variety into Chinese, Mongol, and Vietnamese genetics.
Denmark gives go-ahead for Nord Stream 2 Russian pipeline segment
Denmark cannot stop itself from picking up the One Ring. Current "thinking" among Europeans is that the USA is the worst ever and partnering with Russia is better; they forget that behind Russia the hand of Asia has always moved. Someday when they are all speaking Chinese, they will wonder where they went wrong, but the people who sold them out will long ago have retired to South America and lived like kings.
Britain's first city discovered as archaeologists say it was home of people who built Stonehenge
Despite the efforts of politicized "science" to tame archaeology, it keeps revealing how different and unique the West is, which implies that maybe perhaps we ought not to erase it. That in turn implies that we ought to understand it, which will confuse everyone since the last few decades of Leftism has been dedicated to erasing our memory of what it is. It always goes this way in human populations: once they prosper, there are too many lesser people produced at the same time that people take society for granted and forget that it needs a goal. Then the many clueless people — like locusts voracious because of their inner void of organization and thus connection to life in a positive, affirmative, and creative sense — join together in Revenge of the Nerds or Napoleon Dynamite French Revolution styled mass revolt and take over, erase the past, destroy everything that is, and replace it with an order where uselessness is valued and realists are demonized. That is inversion, a form of class warfare, and it kills every human civilization. We would do better as Druids with space travel.
Germany expects drop in asylum applications for 2019
The European bureaucrats hoped for a free ride from the migrants. They could bring them into the country and then tax them to pay for the benefits owed to the dying Boomers. However, that failed, because most of the migrants are on welfare or working hard at stacking blocks. The economic miracle of Europe, as it turns out, depends on Europeans! Consequently, the bureaucrats are starting to find more spelling errors in the triplicate forms and choking the flow, imitating (unconsciously) what Trump has done in the USA. Even our dense bureaucrats are figuring out that without stopping the flow, our societies fully self-destruct nearly instantly. The next stage will be admitting that diversity does not work at all, which sets up the conflict of the twenty-first century: Balkanization. We are going to spend centuries cleaning up the damage done by two centuries of democracy and, specifically, about a century of Leftism. Maybe we can weed out the genes that make people Leftist, but more likely, the desire to become egalitarian comes from a defensive individualism brought about by feelings of inferiority, as Kaczynski says. Who are we to second-guess them when they tell us that they are untermenschen? Just send them on to Venezuela or Mongolia. It is probably what our ancestors did, grouping all the genetic gunk in the lost wastes near Siberia, only to have it weaponize itself and attack a few centuries later.
691,145 Californians left last year: What state did they go to?
Texas got 86,164 Californians last year, and they are now wumping Texas by demanding the same sort of social safety net they got in California, not realizing that this will raise taxes and lower wages, replicating the exact same conditions they moved to escape. Humans are pathological unless someone from the 1% of the population that can think intervenes. Politics is more like daycare than leadership as a result. In other words, however, the constant flow of brainwashed zombie coastal people and greedy opportunistic illegal aliens has probably already turned Texas blue. The moronic white people in the cities, who care more about "succeeding" in their "careers" than what is true, have promptly turned around to cater to this new audience, not realizing that in the process they are sacrificing everything that makes Texas appealing.
Use of neonicotinoids on rice paddies linked to fishery collapse in Japan
The twentieth century was a time of miracle technologies. It turns out that while those technically performed the role they were instructed to do, there were long-term secondary consequences which may doom us, sort of like how liberal democracy achieves its aims and in the process destroys civilizations. What do we do when we can no longer count on our miracle pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, and soil conditioners? We can sit around and watch the entertaining resource wars play out, mainly. Be the first kid on your block to get an ear necklace!
'Vile and wicked' members of Huddersfield grooming gang jailed for raping girls as young as 12
Rape is a weapon of war. Stealing away your children for mass rape, ensuring that they will not make sensible reproductive decisions later, is another weapon of war. The point is to destroy you. Any immigrant group has to either conquer you or remain conquered, and this makes them hate their origins, since your method works better than theirs. As usual, they would prefer to tear down what is successful and go with what is mediocre because it flatters them personally to believe that they are in control, that they have all the answers, and that they have conquered, even if by doing so they have committed suicide. This is why the ancients cautioned against individualism, which they called hubris, since like ideology it replaces reality in the human mind.
Super-rich prepare to leave UK 'within minutes' if Labour wins election
People should pay attention to the wealthy. While this offends the ballcap conservatives, the wealthy at least know how to manage money, and when they are fleeing high taxes that tells you how destructive of a death cycle the high taxes are. Little robots like Jeremy Corbyn, who are so broken and dysfunctional inside that they do what is popular without considering the consequences, apply zero thought of the future to their decisions. They always get caught unawares by the failure of their grand plans. You pay the price, since Corbyn will be on the plane to the same enclaves to which the rich have fled as soon as his crazy policies crater the country.
This is the blacklist Apple uses to censor the internet in China
Steve Jobs saw the future of Idiocracy-West: people wanted easy to use products with massive advertising that were made as cheaply as possible, which is why he began outsourcing the manufacture of Macintosh computers in the mid-1980s. "Buy low, sell high" took on a new dimension and made his company massively profitable once he also learned that he could not be on the hook to specific chipsets (WDC, Motorola) but instead needed standard hardware. However, when Apple met China, they encountered a sneaky business partner who demanded loyalty in return. At this point, like the DNC, Apple are assets of the PRC.
Planeloads of Cash From Russia Have Been Shipped to Venezuela
If the New Russia is not simply a re-branded Soviet Union, it sure is showing that in strange ways. Perhaps they are simply following the model of their masters the Chinese and adopting market socialism as a means of outlasting the wealth of capitalism so that they can take over in the end. This will not work for them for the same reason their past attempts at empire have failed, but because Asia and Eurasia have no purpose of their own, they will attempt it anyway, since every lost and empty human thinks that the solution is to find some external thing to fill his own void, when in fact that mental process is what caused him to have a void in the first place.
More non-Mexican migrants are being arrested at the border in San Diego than ever
The Camp of the Saints comes to life: 90% of humanity lives in mud huts and eats bush meat because "poor people have poor ways," namely relying on external things like talismans, superstitions, and socialism to lift them up when really what they need to do is change their thinking to change their behavior. Since thinking is hard, and change is scary, they will instead look toward some external source of good fortune, and look over the border or sea at the first world. If they can, all seven billion of them will come here and descend like locusts, eating up everything good and leaving a wasteland, at which point they will blame us for being stingy. The only solution is to (1) slam the door, and then (2) encourage strong nationalism so that they take pride in their own nations. "Racists" have it absolutely backward; we should be attacking diversity, not other groups. We all have a better future when people are proud to be Black, Asian/Hispanic, and so on. They will need to be relocated from our lands, but not sent back penniless, so that they can set up whatever type of society they need for their people. Stable societies have stable populations; only this way do we end ecocide.
Striped bass were once extinct in the St. Lawrence. Now they're back
Damaged ecosystems can be repaired. We can fix everything we have done wrong and bring forth a much better world. Do we have the will to do it? We can see a template here:
However, the predatory fish with the tell-tale dark horizontal stripes on its metallic sides disappeared from the St. Lawrence for 40 years, due to overfishing and habitat destruction during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the 1950s.
Tougher environmental protection laws and fishing restrictions were the first steps in bringing the fish back.
Striper restoration began in 2002, and just 10 years later, the species had bounced back sufficiently to go from being extirpated — or locally extinct — to endangered.
Imagine a society as intolerant of pollution, overpopulation, immigration, wastefulness, and disposable products as our society is intolerant of "racism," "sexism," "homophobia," "Islamophobia," "classism," and "elitism." We could get somewhere instead of going in circles, destroying lives as we fight ourselves over symbols and ignore reality, as is the norm in late stage democracy.
As a Latino, I no longer feel safe in Trump's America. So I'm leaving it.
Latina self-deports. When there are no free things here and civil rights to guarantee that minorities are always first in line, they will move on to easier pastures. This should be our ongoing goal: remove civil rights, affirmative action, and entitlements. That is one half of the pincer, namely removing the benefit of being here. We then need to raise the cost of being here, and actually arrest minorities for all the crimes they do (right now, cops will bend over backwards to avoid this) and insist they pay their taxes correctly (Asians especially). Then they will see that life is in fact better back home. Those who have been here for a long time deserve a stipend and take any wealth they have accumulated with them. Ethnostates work; an ethnic Western Europeans only America will work. Anything else is suicide.
Greenhouse gas emissions from diesel vehicles cancelled out cuts from renewable energy
"Environmentalism" is like all things modern an ersatz substitute for something better, which is a stable civilization, since such things tend to limit their populations and be conservationist, or keep huge swathes of land natural by excluding ordinary humans from intruding on them. The more people we have, the more we are going to generate various forms of pollution, and without a whole lot of land to absorb that and renew natural ecosystems, we will live in a giant park surrounded by concrete where you buy air at high prices to keep the taxes flowing that enables the ten billion underclass citizens to survive in their own dormitories, which they will burn down regularly when the subsidies are not generous enough.
Poland, Hungary broke EU laws by refusing to host migrants: court adviser
No law should obligate self-destruction, so civil disobedience is necessary. Maybe the UK can learn from this: if you break enough laws and refuse to pay the fines, controlling tyrants like the EU have no choice except to throw you out, which is what you want anyway. NATO makes sense, in that we need a buffer for Europe against Chinese/Russian invasion, but the EU went from being a trade union — a good idea — to being a controlling internationalist Leftist empire in the mold of the Soviet Union. Escape from the void if you can, and it is best to do it by forcing them to throw you out, so that others follow and the tyranny evaporates, as it always does when challenged. Bullies are bullies, especially when they claim to be altruists.
Poll: Most Americans distrust at least some political polls
Hysterical polls reveal that Americans distrust polls. Science has specialized in making arguments by cherry-picking data, and polls do the same, since they use a small sample size and filter out functional people as best they can. When you call people at ten in the morning on a Tuesday, you mostly get box wine dysfunctionals and daytime television watchers.
Historic British port known as the 'Little White Town' since 1855 because of the colour of its buildings changes its welcome signs following complaints it's RACIST
Diversity is a virus that consumes everything. You must re-arrange your entire existence to accommodate diversity, at which point you have abolished yourself. The only solution is to reject diversity and tell people to get used to being offended because it is good for them. It toughens people up to experience adversity, and it encourages them to solidify their own opinions. When you make society soft and weak, people get soft and weak, and then the Chinese overrun you and kill you.
Increase in Antarctic sea ice could have triggered an ice age, study finds
People have a tendency to select symbols that are easy to understand instead of knotty realities. We know that ecocide is in progress and we have polluted the world, and we needed a symbol for that, so the neurotics seized in "climate change." They may have gotten it right by getting it wrong, since possibly we are entering an ice age as nature attempts to kill off the extra humans. A world of a few million humans in a harsh environment would be forced to gain competence instead of bloating itself into Idiocracy, so in ten thousand years — if the Sweet Asteroid of Extinction does not hit first — we may have a chance at space travel again. Clearly this time we blew it. Or, we can simply start acting in a sane manner, exile the bloat to warm places, and get back on track. Which would you prefer?
Faces of Perth: Northern suburbs on struggle street as bills, falling house prices bite
What is driving up the cost of living? The high taxes. Why does no one mention this? The voters are terrified of losing what they have in entitlements, even if cheaper living would mean that they can survive with their current jobs. On and on, around and around, South of Heaven.
'Lack of leadership': Merkel under fire after far-right gains in regional German election
Conservatives lose by winning. In order to get with the current mood, they become more Leftist, and end up being Leftists who like Jesus, guns, and big business. That eliminates their appeal to their base and they gradually find themselves less influential, to which they stammer out something about no circular firing squads. In reality, the best solution is simply to go to the farthest Right quartile and shoot everyone (metaphorically) to the Left of that. We do not need hybrid conservatives, whether neoliberals, neoconservatives, fascists, National Socialists, or libertarians. The root of conservatism is social conservatism and the idea of an organic body of a civilization adapting to nature and choosing the best options possible in pursuit of excellence (arete). Anything else just leads us back into the endless circular arguments of the egalitarians.
Police officer's strike of South Dakota teen angers some
Behave like savages, get treated like savages. Police are remarkably patient with citizens and try to avoid conflict, but entitled people always push things too far, and then more entitled people join in the protests/riots so that they can get free stuff.
China's new moral guide elevates Xi over Mao, urges national pride over foreign influence
China applies a crafty strategy that Asiatics have always used, which is to encourage your competition to do whatever is destructive to them while avoiding doing the same among your own people. Diversity is death, and therefore, China wants diversity to destroy us so that China can easily take over. Watch what they do, not what they say.
'Peak Car' Is Holding Back the Global Economy
The postwar economy relied on selling labor-saving devices to a rising middle class. When that ran out of steam, we came up with the welfare state to dump money on the underclass so that they would buy tons of products and drive up the numbers. Symbols mattered more than reality, we reasoned, because symbols can hold together the population in a facsimile of unity even when no actual unity exists, which happens when you start talking about freedom, equality, and other "me first and everyone else pays" types of logic. Now cars last for twenty years easily and people are more concerned with having long-term wealth to evade all those crazy taxes to keep the underclasses afloat. By using socialist logic in a capitalist system, we have doomed it, and a big crash is coming. Whichever nation is 100% self-sufficient when that happens will rule the world. Will it be the US, China, or the EU?

Miss Scarlet and The Duke 1×06 "The Case of Henry Scarlet" Review
Miss Scarlet and The Duke 1×06 "The Case of Henry Scarlet" Spoilers Ahead
Source: PBS
It's Sunday, folks! Unfortunately, it means we've been graced with the season finale of Miss Scarlet and The Duke. And although we may be sad that this is the end (for now), the finale was full of excitement and intrigue that only cemented our love for the series. Eliza and William pick off from last week as they continue to investigate who is responsible for the bills of exchange forgeries and Henry's murder. Much was unpacked in this episode, so let us commence!
As Miss Scarlet and The Duke 1×06 begins, we see a flashback of Henry Scarlet held at gunpoint in his office with an unknown individual. Henry initially refuses to drink what appears to be a poison. However, the unknown individual presents a picture of Eliza–the threatening message is clear, and Henry asks for no harm towards Eliza before drinking the contents of the glass. (The man drinks the poison without hesitation for Eliza's safety–now that's father's love right there). The camera cuts to the unknown individual, and it's the masked shooter from the previous episode, confirming that Henry's murder was connected with the forgeries.
We then see PC Honeychurch and Frank informing William about the death of Nathaniel Caine at William's office. PC Honeychurch claims he had a cup of tea, only to wake up on the floor. Frank confirms that there were traces of laudanum in the tea, but anyone could have easily poisoned the tea. With the death of Nathaniel Caine, William's only lead on the case is Moses, and he orders Frank to find him.
Meanwhile, Eliza restlessly waits at home until she spots William arriving. Before stepping inside to speak with her, he warns the guards outside not to consume anything and to remain alert. He then joins Eliza inside the living room and informs her about Nathaniel's death, but she doesn't react as he expected. She confesses she overheard the guards as she brought them tea and cakes which William is not happy about at all. Eliza quickly apologizes and expresses concern that William looks exhausted. William seemingly catches onto Eliza's intentions and immediately tells her, "Do not pretend that you care." They have a small moment as she ushers him to sit down and asks about his hand before turning the conversation to the case. Newsflash, buddy, but I'd wager she cares just as much as you do (and we all know that means A LOT).
William states that at 70,000 pounds, it's the largest forgery operation Scotland Yard has ever seen. The forgers cashed the remaining bills and escaped with gold. William theorizes that they would have to hide the gold since it's too heavy to travel with. However, William says they still have no information on who is responsible, and does not mention anything about the lead on Moses. William asks again for Eliza to remain inside. Before leaving, William asks her if she has spoken to Moses recently, and she lies that she hasn't in some time. Ah, you two, deliberately omitting information is not helping. It's not helping the case, and it's not helping the development of your romantic relationship with one another. The conversation is interrupted by the arrival of Rupert Parker. Rupert tries to appeal to the guards to let him go inside by claiming he needs to see Eliza due to an urgent personal matter. William relents and allows Rupert inside. Once inside, we find out that Rupert indeed does have a personal matter–Tilly Hildegard has proposed marriage to Rupert, which has put a damper in his plans.
As Rupert prattles on about the proposal, Eliza asks Rupert if he has her message from Moses. He hands her the note but continues to express his distress about marriage with Tilly. Eliza offers Tilly's perspective, stating Tilly wants to be in London in a marriage of convenience for her and Rupert, but if Rupert doesn't want to get married, he should just tell her a "firm no". She then requests Rupert's help.
We next see William and Frank as they raid the flat where Moses has been staying as Moses watches from a hidden corner across the street. Back at Eliza's, Eliza and Rupert concoct a plan to distract the guards so she can escape her house. The efforts are needless, however, as Rupert observes that the guards have disappeared. Eliza senses danger and tells Rupert to leave. William and Frank continue to search Moses' room–William finds several weapons and goes through his wastebasket until Frank finds a bag under the bed.
Eliza is in an alleyway of sorts, apparently waiting for Moses. Instead, William arrives, who read the message of their meeting place during his search at Moses' room. William is annoyed she's abandoned the safety of her home, but she accuses him of dismissing the guards, which he denies. Eliza asks why he's interested in Moses. William replies by showing her the bag, filled with forged bills of exchange, suggesting that Moses was part of the criminal activity.
After, an infuriated William is at Superintendent Stirling's office, questioning why the guards were dismissed. Stirling claims that guarding Eliza's house is excessive and that he doesn't believe she's in any actual danger. Stirling thinks that William is personally involved, stating that William "has taken a shine" to Eliza and his judgement is clouded. William fires back that Stirling's judgement should be questioned, arguing that Stirling's dislike for him should not be the reason to risk Eliza's safety before leaving Stirling's office. So many thoughts here. First off, William has reached a point where he's openly and clearly sticking up for Eliza with no hesitation at the risk of his job. He's leaped miles ahead compared to the beginning when he didn't even want to publicly give her credit. Second, when your sh-tty boss who doesn't even like you is able to discern something is going on between the two of you, then maybe it's time for you to end everyone's suffering and admit some unspoken feelings. We're waiting over here.
Anyway, we then see William bring Eliza food, who has been locked into a cell for her safety since William doesn't trust her to stay put in his office. Eliza doesn't believe Moses is involved in the case, but William argues that the evidence points otherwise. In his office, William gathers his men to cross reference files to see if they can compile a list of gangs. Realizing the large workload ahead of them, Frank declares they'll need more help, and Eliza joins them. They're able to come up with seven "tenuous" links of gangs to Nathaniel Caine. William and Eliza decide question bank managers and to show mug shots of the gangs. The two of them agree they need rest–William tells Eliza that he would like her to stay in his house for security reasons (sure, that's the reason) and offers his room. Eliza isn't down with that, since she has a reputation to maintain, of course, so she invites him to her house instead. (I'd just like to point out that at no point does anyone protest the necessity of William being by Eliza overnight.) As William heads off to update the desk sergeant with Eliza's address, officers detaining the street preacher from the first episode come through Eliza's way. The preacher manages to slip Eliza a note from Moses as they pass.
Later that evening, Eliza and William are in her kitchen as William informs her about the guards outside, and Eliza realizes William paid the guards out of his own pocket. They sit to eat dinner, but I'll be honest, I don't even know what the "dinner" is supposed to be. Eliza has a great many skills–cooking is not one of them. (Ivy's staying at Rupert's for her safety.) William says boiled eggs are fine but is surprised to learn that Eliza doesn't know how to do that either. We then proceed to a cute domestic moment as William teaches her how to boil eggs. William checks the time with his new pocket watch, and the conversation turns to Henry. Eliza remarks that if Henry could see them now, he'd think they were an old married couple. William reassures her that if he was married, he wouldn't be cooking his own eggs. (Who's gonna tell him?) Also, we had a whole conversation without bickering! Perhaps they should just partake in more domestic duties together.
After their boiled-egg dinner, Eliza checks on William and finds him sleeping on the couch. She proceeds to the dining room, where Moses is waiting for her. Eliza warns him that he's in trouble, and he says the evidence was planted by William and he should slit William's throat. Eliza tells Moses that she doesn't think he's a killer, but asks if he had anything to do with the forgeries. Moses denies having anything to do with the men who killed Eliza's father, and she declares that she believes him. I love Eliza's unwavering faith in Moses. Although society has cast him aside as a common criminal, she chooses to overlook that and sees the good in him. Moses just does what is necessary to survive in a world that doesn't treat him equally. As Eliza affirms her belief in Moses, she also stresses that she doesn't think Wellington would set him up.
Moses provides her a note and says it might change her mind–the note contains the address of Nathaniel Caine's brother. Eliza remembers that police files indicated that Caine had no family. Moses reveals that someone from Scotland Yard has threatened Nathaniel's brother, Benjamin, and forced him to keep his mouth shut. In the morning during breakfast (FYI, Eliza attempted boiled eggs on her own–they were raw), Eliza comes clean about meeting Moses to William along with the information regarding Benjamin Caine. William locks her up again at the station and heads out to see Benjamin Caine. We see Benjamin (Will O'Connell) frantically packing his belongings and reaching for the door, only to find William waiting. Initially, Benjamin denies that someone threatened him but it doesn't take much for William to intimidate Benjamin, who reveals that Moses was telling the truth. Benjamin had reported his brother missing and had gone back to Scotland Yard a week later after receiving no news. He was taken to a room, where a "copper" told him he had no brother and to keep his mouth shut. Benjamin describes the man as "posh" and says he introduced himself as "Stirling."
William returns to the station, where the alarm bells are going off. Frank explains a fire has gone off in the archives, Eliza and William learn that the missing persons files have been burned. Both agree to speak with the bank managers in order to identify the gang, but William doesn't want to question them at the station. Inside Eliza's office, William questions a bank manager while Eliza and Frank are present. The bank manager identifies the Cartwright brothers and reveals that they wore too much cologne to cover the smell of excrement. Frank remembers his uncle, who worked at a tannery and would often wear cologne to cover up the smell of "dog sh-t," which was used to soften leather.
Eliza and the men consult a map in hopes of finding a place where the Cartwright brothers could hide the gold, and conclude it must be the abandoned Bermondsay tannery. Willian and Frank immediately search the building and decide to split up. Eliza, who was ordered to stay outside with PC Honeychurch, makes her way inside anyway. As William reprimands Honeychurch, Frank finds Stirling dead at the bottom of a set of stairs.
Back at the station, William informs the chief is going to open an investigation into Stirling and police corruption. William also discloses Stirling had a train ticket to Liverpool–it's possible the Cartwrights double-crossed Stirling and took his share of the gold. Then Frank enters with a new update: they've received a telegram that two men matching the descriptions of the brothers boarded the RMS Umbria bound for New York. Although Eliza is disheartened that her father's killers will be walking free, William reminds that they have no way of knowing who actually murdered her father.
Not being able to do much else, William offers to take Eliza home and pick up Ivy on the way and take her home since he suspects Eliza will no longer be in danger. Eliza states that William is a true friend and is grateful for what he's done, and she doesn't know how to thank him. William reaches for her hand and asks her to have dinner tonight (F-CKING FINALLY, MAN!), and she agrees, but not before they find Moses and apologize to him. William refuses to apologize, stating that Moses was looking out only for himself, and Eliza counters that he risked his life to help her. So, in a turn of events that shocks absolutely no one and in true Eliza-William fashion, Eliza storms off home and dinner does not happen. (We were so close.) Instead, William ends up spending the night drinking with Frank. They share jokes about marriage and women while Rupert visits Eliza at home and warns her that Tilly is "most vexed" at Eliza because she encouraged her to say no. Meanwhile, William is helping a drunk Frank into bed, who reveals his wife has left him.
Back at Eliza's, Tilly barges inside Eliza and accuses her of trying to take her fiance. During their little spat, Tilly mentions that Eliza should be content with her inspector, who she saw "creeping up the stairs." Eliza assumes that Tilly saw William poking around, but Tilly clarifies that it was "the other one." At Franks, William searches for a blanket and finds the shooter's fumigation mask. William turns around; Frank has a gun pointed at his face and retrieves Willian's weapon. Frank admits to killing Henry and states that it would be the "end of it," but Eliza kept interfering. William tells Frank not to blame Eliza for his crimes. Frank also admits he killed the Cartwright brothers before announcing he'll need to kill William, too. They are interrupted by a knock on the door. Frank answers the door, and it's Eliza, who claims she is unarmed and is trying to reason with Frank. Eliza stalls by saying she knows where Frank hid the gold until Moses is able to sneak up behind Frank's back and knock him out.
Later in the night in Eliza's drawing room, William speaks with Moses and confesses that Frank used him to distract him. As Moses heads out, William thanks him, much to Eliza's delight. Before he leaves, Eliza informs Moses that William will give him a ride home. In the hallway, Moses tells Willliam that he doesn't want a ride from him and he does not like William, but offers his hand to William for Eliza's sake. William shakes, but warns Moses that he will be keeping his eye on him. Moses heeds his warning, smiling as he tosses William his wallet. This was such a great scene between the two characters, and I hope we get more interaction between William and Moses during the next season. Something tells me they'll gradually grow to respect one another and maybe even become friends.
The next day at her office, Eliza imagines a conversation with Henry. Eliza declares she'll never be satisfied solving the case because it won't bring Henry back. Henry reminds her that only hopeless people cry, and she is not hopeless. William arrives for a visit and announces that since he apologized to Moses, (he actually thanked him, but he claims it's the same thing), Eliza can now go to dinner with him tonight. Eliza asks why he's in a rush, and he aptly surmises that if they delay, they'll only argue about something irrelevant. It only took him this long to figure it out, but hey, better late than ever. As they step out, he announces that he intends to take her to Gilbert's and has already made a reservation. The episode ends as they walk to the restaurant and play a game to try not to get into an argument. (God help anyone in their path.)
This finale ticked off so many boxes, it'd be impossible for us not to be satisfied. As always, the episode was beautifully shot and well-written. We got our witty dialogue and entertaining banter sprinkled with humorous moments. Of course, we also got justice for Henry! Although we've only had a few moments with Henry peppered throughout the show, they're enough to showcase his character and his humility, making us all the more invested in catching his killer (and as Henry said, you'll be rotting in hell, Frank!). And naturally, many of you will be excited as we see Eliza and William's relationship begin to hopefully blossom into something more.
We're left clearly wanting more, and a large part is due to Kate Phillips' performance. Her portrayal of Eliza Scarlet is no easy feat–her ability to balance Eliza's femininity with her spirited and outspoken nature appears effortless. She proves that women onscreen can be badass and likeable without being mutually exclusive, and you can still have sizzling sexual tension with a good-looking Scottish detective inspector whose beard game is on point. As a character, Eliza is someone you want to have as a friend–she doesn't hold grudges or judgements, and she tries to do right by everyone. She remains kind to and looks for the goodness in others despite facing her own obstacles and doesn't back down for what she believes in. She makes mistakes, but she earns from them and admits when she is in the wrong. On the other end, we have Stuart Martin as her foil, who perfectly encompasses William Wellington's masculine energy with layers of thoughtfulness and periodic benevolence. These two have chemistry that fuels life into the show, and we can't wait to see what more they can bring in a much-deserved second season.
For now, we'll impatiently wait alongside fans until we are bestowed with new adventures. Until then, we'd love to hear from our readers! What were your favorite moments from Miss Scarlet and The Duke 1×06? What about the whole season? Let us know in the comments below.

Schumer Announces Specifics Of American Rescue Plan – Oswego County Today
File photo of U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (2010).
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Just back from Washington, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer announced, today, that 'help is on the way' to New York and New Yorkers as he detailed specifics from the American Rescue Plan he just led to passage in the U.S. Senate.
Schumer detailed the plan's tentative impact to New York as $100 billion. The deal includes an additional round of direct stimulus checks, extends enhanced unemployment insurance benefits, will help solve New York State and Upstate New York municipalities budget woes.
The assistance marks a not-too-soon moment of relief for countless families, workers, restaurants, more independent venues and small businesses across the state. As part of the deal, more than $23.8 Billion flows directly to New York State government(s) on top of increased education funding, transit funding and highways, vaccine distribution, COVID health funding, emergency rental and housing assistance and more included for New York in this bill.
"Back in November, the American people and New Yorkers sent a crystal clear message to the previous administration: deliver the robust COVID relief this country needs or get out of the way. The deal we reached with the help of a new president, and a new democratic Senate marks real relief to the tune of $100 billion for workers, families, healthcare, small businesses, including our hard-hit industries like restaurants, and New York—the things we need to support to weather this crisis and then work to recover," Schumer said.
"This marks the second biggest stimulus bill in the nation's history—second to the CARES Act—and it comes just in time, because Americans and New York still need real help to get through this," he added.
The details and the impact on New York appear in the breakdown below. These numbers are tentative.
STATE & LOCAL FISCAL RELIEF
$23.8 Billion for New York – Total amount of funding provided to New York State through the state and local fiscal relief fund, to keep first responders, frontline health workers, and other providers of vital services safely on the job as states and local governments roll out vaccines and fight to rebuild Main Street economies. Funding can be used for assistance to households, small businesses, nonprofits, aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality, investments in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, and to provide premium pay to frontline workers. Local governments of every size, including all counties, cities, towns, and villages, receive dedicated federal aid awards. A new $10 billion capital projects program also support state broadband deployment efforts. Funds are allocated in New York as follows:
· $12.569 Billion for New York State Government
· $6.141 Billion for New York's Metro Cities
· $3.907 Billion for New York's Counties
· $825 Million for New York's Small Cities, Towns, and Villages
· $358 Million for a New York State Broadband Investment Program
ADDITIONAL AID TO NEW YORK
· $3.1 billion: Medicaid FMAP increase ($2.1 billion already delivered from Schumer pushing President Biden to extend through the end of the calendar year, in addition to $1 billion from a targeted enhanced FMAP for home and community-based services from this legislation)
· $7+ billion: New York Area Transit ($6.5B to MTA) The New York State Department of Transportation will receive $12M directly to support rural transit systems. The remainder will support county bus services, and upstate transit agencies.
· $418 million: New York's hard-hit airports to continue operating safely during the pandemic. Port Authority Airports will receive: $218M for JFK, $107M for LGA, $4M for Stewart, and $164M for EWR. This includes $60M in relief at the four airports for large and small concessionaire businesses that have been hard-hit by the pandemic and unable to pay minimum guarantees to airports.
· $1.7 Billion – Relief for Amtrak to help maintain operations and other expenditures during the pandemic, especially in New York.
· $15 Billion – The CARES Act Airline Payroll Support Program which will save thousands of New York airline and airline contractor jobs by keeping workers on payroll without furloughs or reducing pay rates and benefits until March 31, 2021 New York will receive sizable share of these funds.
EDUCATION – K-12 SCHOOLS & INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER ED
· $9 Billion – K-12 Schools – these flexible funds will support school districts in reopening safely for in-person instruction and addressing the many needs that students are facing due to the pandemic. A portion of the funds are targeted towards addressing learning loss, providing resources through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and implementing summer enrichment and afterschool programs.
· $2.6 Billion – Colleges and Universities – Institutions must distribute half of their allocation to students in the form of financial aid awards to address hardships caused by COVID-19. The remaining portion of the funds can be used on reopening costs, revenue losses, classroom retrofits, PPE, and other expenses.
· $257 Million – Private K-12 schools – these funds are administered by the state educational agency to provide public health and related assistance and services to private K-12 schools.
CHILD CARE & HELP FOR NY FAMILIES
· $1.8 Billion – Child Care – Through the Child Care Stabilization Fund and the Child Care Community Development Block Grants (CCDBG), these funds ensure that the child care sector will continue to assist working families, and to support child care providers in meeting their increased operation costs during the pandemic.
· $59 Million – Head Start – this is emergency funding that will continue to provide access of services for children and their families.
· $7.03 billion: Child Tax Credit payment to New York families
· $786 million: Earned Income Tax Credit payment to New York families
· More than $1 billion in additional Emergency Rental Assistance and assistance for preventing homelessness
· $575 million in mortgage and utility assistance for homeowners
· $1.07 billion: Nutrition Assistance ($810 million for Pandemic EBT Benefits, $227 million for SNAP)
UI AND DIRECT CHECKS TO NEW YORKERS
An estimated $21.7 Billion for NY in Enhanced Unemployment Insurance Benefits. This bill provides billions in additional federal relief for struggling New Yorkers – who are out of work through no fault of their own – by extending the historic unemployment insurance reforms established in the CARES Act, through September 6, 2021. Importantly, it continues the critical lifeline of the enhanced unemployment assistance, providing an additional $300 per week on top of all state and federal unemployment benefits. The bill extends the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program for the self-employed, gig workers, freelancers and others in non-traditional employment, as well as the additional weeks of federal unemployment insurance for workers who exhaust their regular state benefits. Notably, this legislation excludes up to $10,200 of unemployment benefits received in 2020 from taxable income, providing much-needed tax relief for workers making less than $150,000.
Over $22 Billion in Direct Payments for NY – The American Rescue Plan includes an additional round of Economic Impact Payments of $1,400 for individuals making up to $75,000 per year and $2,800 for couples making up to $150,000 per year. Eligible families will also receive an additional $1,400 payment per child and adult dependent, amounting to $5,600 for an average family of four. Nearly 9 million New York households will receive another round of direct payments, helping them to cover essential expenses like food, rent or mortgages, and medical bills during this crisis.
COVID VAX & TESTING EFFORT ACROSS NY
· Roughly $4 billion to support more vaccines, testing and healthcare in New York
NEW RELIEF AVAILABLE FOR NEW YORK SMALL BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS, NONPROFITS, ARTS AND CULTURE VENUES, AND TOURISM SECTOR
$28.6 Billion for Restaurants – A new restaurant relief fund, modeled on the widely support, bipartisan RESTAURANTS Act, which will provide flexible grants through the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a lifeline for New York's restaurant industry, one of the hardest hit by the economic effects of the COVID pandemic. Food service or drinking establishments, including caterers, brewpubs, taprooms, and tasting rooms, that are not part of an affiliated group with more than 20 locations will be eligible. To provide comprehensive support to local restaurants, grants from the fund could be used alongside first and second Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance, and the Employee Retention Tax Credit.
The new restaurants relief fund will be designed to provide flexible grants of up to $10 million per restaurant group, $5 million per individual restaurant, that can be used to cover payroll, mortgages or rent, setup for outdoor seating, PPE, paid leave, food and other supplies, or debt and other expenses. Grants can be spent on eligible expenses from 2/15/20 through 12/31/21 and the SBA Administrator may extend the period through two years from enactment if conditions warrant. $5 billion of the $25 billion total is reserved for restaurants with less than $500,000 in gross receipts in 2019 for the first 60 days of the program. During the initial 21-day period, the administrator will prioritize awarding grants to eligible entities that are owned or controlled by women or Veterans or are socially and economically disadvantaged businesses.
$1.25B and a Key Fix for Save Our Stages – The bill provides an additional $1.25 billion for hard-hit independent live venues, performing arts organizations, independent movie theaters, and cultural institutions. The bill also includes a critical fix that allows venues to access a PPP loan and a Shuttered Venue Operators Grant, deducting the PPP loan amount from the grant amount. Including access to both programs will provide a much-needed source of additional capital as these struggling businesses and nonprofits try to stay afloat during the crisis.
$15 Billion for SBA Targeted EIDL Grants — This funding will provide hard-hit, underserved small businesses with increased flexible grant relief. These grants will be particularly helpful for very small businesses and sole proprietors, which include over 90 percent of minority-owned businesses that have been disproportionately devastated by this crisis.
Expanded PPP Eligibility for Nonprofits – This bill makes additional 501(c) nonprofits eligible for PPP. It also makes local offices of larger nonprofits eligible for PPP assistance as long as those locations are not larger than 500 employees for first PPP loans or 300 employees for second PPP loans, expanding access to vital relief for nonprofit organizations that are critical to local services and the economy.
Community Navigator Program for Underserved Businesses – $100 million is included to fund community organizations and community financial institutions with a focus on and experience working in minority, immigrant, and rural communities to serve as community navigators to help connect small business owners in these communities to critical resources, including small business loans, business licenses, and federal, state, and local business assistance programs.
$10 Billion for Small Business Opportunity Fund – This funding available through the Treasury Department is modeled on the State Small Business Credit Initiative and will support state and local capital and technical assistance initiatives for small businesses responding to and recovering from the pandemic, which will be particularly beneficial to minority-owned and other underserved small businesses.
$3 Billion for Economic Development Grants, Including for Tourism and Travel — $3 billion is included for the Economic Development Administration to provide flexible grants for rebuilding the local economies of communities that have experienced significant job loss from COVID-19. A $750 million set-aside is included for assistance to states and communities that have suffered from job and GDP loss in the tourism, travel, and outdoor recreation sectors.
Extended Employee Retention Tax Credit – The bill extends through the end of 2021 the refundable payroll tax credit designed to help employers keep more of their valued workers on payroll during this economic crisis. This tax credit is available to struggling New York companies and nonprofits of all sizes, and is equal to 70% of qualified wages up to $10,000 per employee per quarter.
CONNECTING MORE NY FAMILIES TO BROADBAND
$632 Million — The American Rescue Plan includes $7.172 billion nationally to close the homework gap by providing internet and connected devices to vulnerable students and educators. New York is estimated to receive around $632 million in funding to help students and educators.
REDUCING POVERTY FOR NEW YORKERS
The American Rescue Plan includes a significant expansion of two of the most powerful and effective anti-poverty tools the federal government has – the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit – for 2021:
· Makes the CTC fully refundable and increases the credit amount from $2,000 to $3,000 per child age 6 to 17 (and $3,600 per child below the age of 6). An estimated 3.56 million children across New York will benefit from this expanded tax credit, and it will lift 680,000 children in the state above or closer to the poverty line.
· Strengthens the EITC for childless workers, many of whom are in lower-paid but essential jobs on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic response, benefitting 910,000 of these workers in New York.
PROVIDING FINANCIAL STABILITY FOR NY WORKERS AND RETIREES
The American Rescue Plan importantly delivers critical relief for ailing multiemployer pension plans – which have experienced significant additional challenges as a result of this economic crisis – without cutting the hard-earned benefits of retirees. In New York State alone, there are more than 1.3 million participants in multiemployer pension plans, and around 624,600 New Yorkers are participants in plans that are expected to receive relief directly through this legislation

Q: The number of non-isomorphic ring structures that can be defined on $(Zp;+)$ where p is a prime number. Can someone help me with finding all non-isomoprhic structures  (or their number)?
So far i've found 2 non-ismomorphic :
1) $(Zp;+;*)$ with the classic product
2)
$(Zp;+;*) $ where $a*b = 0$ $\forall $ $ a$ ,$b$ in $Zp$
Can  someone help me find out the unit rings of Zn and help me prove that all of them are isomorphic?

A: For prime $p$ :
As I noted in the comments, if the ring $R$ has a unit, then it must be isomorphic $\Bbb{Z}/p\Bbb{Z}$. Indeed, if it has a unit $1$, then $\langle 1 \rangle$ is a non zero subgroup of a group of prime order: it is equal to the whole ring $R$.
Thus $\Bbb{Z}\to R, k\to k\cdot 1$ is surjective, and by the first isomorphism theorem, $R\simeq \Bbb{Z}/p\Bbb{Z}$.
So when a ring is unital it is your ring 1).
Let's prove that if it is not your ring number 2), then it is unital, and then we'll be done.
So if it is not your ring 2), there are $a,b$ such that $ab\neq 0$.
Thus $\{ac, c\in R\}$ is a (additive) subgroup of $R$, that contains $0$ and $ab\neq 0$: thus by Lagrange's theorem (since $p$ is prime) it must be $R$. Thus $c\to ac$ is bijective. Let $d$ be such that $ad = a$. We'll prove that $d$ is a unit.
Since $c\to ac$ is bijective, it follows that for $c\neq 0$, $ac\neq 0$. Therefore for all $c$, $e\to ec$ is bijective (similar argument as earlier). For $c\in R$ we let $k_c$ be such that $k_c a = c$.
But then, $cd = k_c a d = k_c a = c$. Thus $d$ is a right unit.
By the same argument we can prove that there exists a left unit. But then the left and right unit in any monoid coincide, so it must be $d$: $d$ is a unit.
Therefore we are in case 1).
If we are not in case 2), we are in case 1). Therefore, we are either in case 1) or in case 2).
Notice that I've used that $p$ is prime multiple times, and so obviously this argument does not work for rings with additive group $\Bbb{Z}/n\Bbb{Z}$, $n$ not prime.

No Comments on Railway Noise
Rail transport or train transport is one of the main transportation modes these days, both for transferring passengers and goods. Every day people commute to work and back home using trains in a form of subway systems, light rail transits and other types of rail transport. These types of system can create noise both to the passengers inside of the train as well as to the environment. In this article, we will discuss about noise source components that we hear daily both inside and outside of the train.
If we pay attention to the noise when we are on board of a train, there are more than one noise source that we can hear. The main sources for interior noise in a train are turbulent boundary layer, air conditioning noise, engine/auxiliary equipment, rolling noise and aerodynamic noise from bogie, as illustrated in the following figure.
By the way, we wrote and recorded the sound of Jakarta MRT. You can see the link below to help you imagine the train situation better.
Rolling noise is caused by wheel and rail vibrations induced at the wheel/rain contact and is one of the most important components in railway noise. This type of noise depends on both wheel and rail's roughness. The rougher the surface of both components will create higher noise level both inside and outside of the train. To be able to estimate the airborne component from the rolling noise, we must consider wheel and track characteristics and roughness.
Another noise component that contributes a lot to railway noise is aerodynamic noise which can be caused by more than one sources. These types of sources may contribute differently to internal noise and external noise. For example, aerodynamic noise contributes quite significantly at lower speeds to internal noise while for external noise, it doesn't contribute as much if the train speed is relatively low. For example, on the report written by Federal Railroad Administration (US Department of Transportation), it is stated that aerodynamic sources start to generate significant noise at speeds of approximately 180 mph (around 290 km/h). Below that speed, only rolling noise and propulsion/machinery noise is taken into consideration for external noise calculation. In addition to external noise, machinery noise also contributes to the interior noise levels. This category includes engines, electric motors, air-conditioning equipment, and so on.
To perform the measurements of railway noise, there are several procedures that are commonly followed. For measurement of train pass-by noise, ISO 3095 Acoustics – Railway applications – measurement of noise emitted by rail bound vehicles, is commonly used. This standard has 3 editions with the first published in 1975, and then modified and approved in 2005 and again in 2013. The commonly used measures for train pass-by are Maximum Level (LAmax), Sound Exposure Level (SEL) and Transit Exposure Level (TEL).
For interior noise, the commonly used test procedure is specified in ISO 3381 Railway applications – Acoustics – Measurement of noise inside rail bound vehicles. This procedure specifies measurements in few different conditions such as measurement on trains with constant speed, accelerating trains from standstill, decelerating vehicles, and stationary vehicles.

Home Opinions Antonio Conte Must Take the FA Cup Seriously
Antonio Conte Must Take the FA Cup Seriously
Matt Aldridge
@MattAldridge31 10th February 2017 2 min read
BEN STANSALL/AFP/Getty Images
Chelsea are set to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 18th February for their FA Cup Fifth Round match-up.
Whilst Antonio Conte will almost undoubtedly rest many of his first team players for the game, he must be careful not to take a Wolves side, that knocked out Liverpool, lightly if he is to bring the trophy back to Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2012.
With no European football and after crashing out of the EFL Cup early on in the season, Chelsea have had a much less-cluttered schedule than their top-of-the-table competitors.
Yet despite this, Conte has opted to rotate his squad for FA Cup matches, giving many of the usual starters rests that they may not necessarily need.
Although it is hard to argue with his methods, as Chelsea lead the Premier League by nine points, it does raise one worry. Is he not taking the FA Cup seriously enough?
Many fans and pundits in the media believe that the oldest cup competition in the world has lost a lot of its shine over the years, but whilst it may not be what it once was, it's a trophy that Chelsea players and fans have taken great pride in lifting in the past.
Chelsea haven't raised the cup since 2012, when Roberto Di Matteo led his side to an unexpected domestic and European cup double.
Didier Drogba with the FA Cup in 2012
In the years since, Chelsea have been knocked out at the Semi-Finals stage once, the Sixth Round once, the Fifth Round once and the Fourth Round once, when José Mourinho's 2014-15 team crashed out to Bradford City at Stamford Bridge.
Whilst it may be a good idea to rotate players in the cup competitions to both give them game time and to rest the first team players, it can lead to such "cupsets" as the one seen in the case with Bradford. Be sure to visit our betting partner and get your Promotions with Titanbet and see if you can overcome the odds to win big betting on the upcoming cup matches.
Chelsea are to travel to a buoyed Wolves team, fresh from knocking out of Liverpool at Anfield, so the upcoming game is far from a foregone conclusion.
If Antonio Conte wants to make this season one that fans of all clubs will not forget quickly, he must ensure that he takes the FA Cup seriously, and seeks to repeat what fellow countryman Carlo Ancelotti managed in 2010, when he lifted the league and cup in his first season at the club.
