William Peixoto Arjona (São Paulo, 31 de julho de 1979) é um voleibolista indoor brasileiro, atuante na posição de Levantador, com bela trajetória profissional em clubes nacionais e do exterior. Esteve presente na Seleção Brasileira desde as categorias de base, sendo por esta eleito o Melhor Levantador, além de conquistar o título do Campeonato Sul-Americano Infanto-Juvenil em 1996, repetindo o feito no Campeonato Sul-Americano Juvenil em 1998 e obteve a medalha de bronze no Campeonato Mundial Juvenil de 1999. Já pela seleção principal foi medalha de prata da edição 2013 da Liga Mundial e medalha de ouro no Campeonato Sul-Americano neste mesmo ano. Seus títulos internacionais de relevância em clubes foram: ouro no Campeonato Sul-Americano de Clubes de 2012 no Chile e no mesmo ano foi medalha de prata no Campeonato Mundial de Clubes no Qatar e o inédito ouro no Campeonato Mundial de Clubes em 2013 no Brasil, em ambas as edições foi eleito o Melhor Levantador.Conquistou o título do Campeonato Sul-Americano de Clubes em 2014, realizado no Brasil e foi Bicampeão Sul-americano de Clubes em 2014 e semifinalista no Campeonato Mundial de Clubes, ambas disputas no Brasil.

Carreira
"El Mago" iniciou sua carreira no Report/Suzano e no ano de 1996 sagrou-se vice-campeão do Campeonato Paulista, além do seu primeiro título da Superliga Brasileira A na temporada 1996-97, também foi campeão dos Jogos Regionais de São Paulo.Em 1996 foi convocado para categoria de base da Seleção Brasileira e obteve o título do Campeonato Sul-Americano Infanto-Juvenil e no ano seguinte disputou o Campeonato Mundial Infanto-Juvenil na Índia, terminando na quinta posição, mas se destacou individualmente, sendo eleito o Melhor Levantador desta edição.

Com uma equipe recheada de grandes nomes e encontrando pouco espaço, resolve migrar para a cidade de Três Corações na jornada 1997-98, onde defendeu o clube da Unincor/Três Corações onde conquistou o título do Torneio Internacional de Três Corações e o vice-campeonato da Copa Minas de 1997.Novamente foi convocado para seleção brasileira de base para disputar o Campeonato Sul-Americano Juvenil em 1998, conquistando o ouro e foi eleito Melhor Levantador da competição; e permaneceu no mesmo clube para temporada 1998-99 que passou que utilizou a alcunha Unicor/Ouro Vida que disputou e conquistou a Copa Challenger.

Pela seleção de base disputou o Campeonato Mundial Juvenil de 1999 na Tailândia, oportunidade está que ficou com a medalha de bronze; e retornando a equipe tricordiana,desta vez utilizou a alcunha Telemig Celulr/ Unicor desta vez foi campeão Carioca e Mineiro, também foi sétimo lugar na Superliga Brasileira]] na temporada.Com a parceria entre o Vasco da Gama com vôlei de Três Corações, cuja fusão resultou na equipe Vasco/ Três Corações, William atuou nesta equipe nas competições de 2000-01, conquista de dois estaduais, sendo campeão Carioca e Mineiro, também foi sétimo lugar na Superliga Brasileira A.

Retornou a equipe de Suzano/Targifor para as disputas 2001-02 e foi campeão do Grand Prix e foi vice-campeão dos Jogos Abertos do Interior Paulista e da Copa Challenger.Transferiu-se para o voleibol catarinense 2002-03 para defender a equipe Intelbrás/São José e conquista por esta o título da Liga Nacional em 2002, além do título dos Jogos Regionais de Santa Catarina e foi terceiro melhor levantador da Superliga, posição individual repetida na jornada 2003-04, além do quinto melhor sacador da Superliga.Em 2003 foi convocado pela primeira vez para a seleção brasileira principal, para passar por um período de treinamentos.

Do voleibol catarinense mudou-se para Bento Gonçalves e passou a defender a equipe do Bento /Union Pack, sagrando-se campeão da Copa Mercosul, sendo eleito o Melhor Levantador e a quarto melhor defensor da Superliga Brasileira A correspondente.Ainda no voleibol gaúcho passou a defender a equipe On Line/São Leopoldo na temporada 2005-06, terminando na sexta posição da Superliga, sendo eleito o segundo melhor levantador desta edição, foi vice-campeão do Grand Prix, além de ter sido campeão gaúcho e bicampeão da Copa Mercosul.

Em 2006 foi para o voleibol argentino, onde defendeu por quatro temporadas consecutivas a equipe do Drean Bolivar, na foi tetracampeão da Liga A Argentina, nas temporadas : 2006-07,2007-08, 2008-09 e 2009-10 e nestas mesmas temporadas foi também tetracampeão da Copa ACLAV, foi duas vezes MVP da Liga A Argentina e também o Melhor Levantador nas quatro temporadas que disputara.

Pela equipe argentina em 2007 conquistou títulos dos torneios internacionais: Torneio da Itália, Campeão da Copa Mercosul, neste último eleito o MVP da competição. Na temporada 2008-09 foi campeão Copa Internacional Cidade de Bolívar, do World Challenge Cup e foi eleito pelos técnicos como MVP do World Challenge Cup e o título da Copa Super 8 e em sua última temporada na argentina conquistou o título do Torneio Internacional nos Estados Unidos.Em sua passagem pelo voleibol argentino, sentia cada vez mais distante a chance de vestir a camisa da seleção brasileira havia passado, neste clube foi muito respeitado, onde recebeu o apelido de "El Mago" e sonhava em disputar um Mundial e Olimpíada, que chegou a maturar a ideia de naturalizar-se argentino, para realizar tal meta de carreira, mas o processo não tramitava em tem hábil, além da distancia dos familiares, retornou ao Brasil em 2010 para equipe do Sada Cruzeiro.

Defendendo s equipe mineira na temporada 2010-11 chega as finais da Superliga e termina na segunda colocação na competição, novamente eleito melhor levantador, conquistou mais um título mineiro e o título do Torneio Internacional UC Irvine, disputado nos Estados Unidos.Na jornada seguinte chega a final da Superliga e desta vez ficou com título da edição 2011-12, eleito melhor levantador e MVP da Final, além de ser novamente campeão mineiro e bicampeão do Torneio Internacional UC Irvine<ref name="svnscclwia"/.Na final da Superliga 2010-11, o Mago fez uma homenagem ao pai, também chamava-se William, ao retirar a barba que utilizava constantemente em seu visual,a usou, apresentando-se na oportunidade com bigode, fazendo menção ao pai que perdeu em 1996 em um dos acidentes mais graves da história da aviação no Brasil, pois, era um dos passageiros do Voo TAM 402 no Fokker 100 que caiu segundos depois ao decolar do Aeroporto de Congonhas, fato triste na carreira do atleta que pensou em abandonar sua promissora carreira.

No calendário de disputas no voleibol de 2012-13, permanece no Sada Cruzeiro e conquista no Chile o título do Campeonato Sul-Americano de Clubes de 2012, além de ser melhor levantador do campeonato, obteve com sua equipe a qualificação para o Campeonato Mundial de Clubes do mesmo ano realizado no Qatar, quando obteve a medalha de prata e eleito melhor levantador do mundial, foi campeão mineiro, e vice-campeão da Superliga, novamente escolhido o Melhor Levantador desta edição.

Foi convocado pelo técnico Bernardo Rezende para Seleção Brasileira para disputar Liga Mundial 2012, mas a seleção não fez uma boa campanha e terminou apenas na sexta colocação, nesta edição recusou a convocação, pois alegou que precisava de descanso e que a sua prioridade era o Sada Cruzeiro.

O William manifestou o desejo de representar o Brasil na Olimpíada, não descartou o interesse de representar seu pais em outra modalidade, pois, em sua temporada na Argentina, disputou competições de golfe nos clubes e teve a chance de disputar no seu esporte na Olimpíada de Atenas 2004, mas tinha atletas que se dedicaram mais na época, ainda afirmou que tem condições de disputar a Olimpíada do Rio de Janeiro 2016.Em 2013 é convocado pelo para disputar a edição deste ano da Liga Mundial, cuja sede da fase final deu-se na Argentina, perdendo o título na fase final para seleção russa.

Defendendo o Sada Cruzeiro disputou na temporada 2013-14 o Campeonato Mundial de Clubes realizado no Brasil, chegando mais uma vez a final, mas desta vez conquistou com sua equipe o título inédito para o voleibol masculino do Brasil.

Na estreia do Sada Cruzeiro na Superliga 2013-14, William estava previsto não participar por conta do nascimento de sua filha, que por pouco não foi antecipado, e estreou com o time e celebrou em 9 de setembro o nascimento da pequena Nina, sua primeira filha com sua esposa Brunna Franco.Foi campeão mineiro de 2013.Conquistou o título da Superliga Brasileira A 2013-14 e eleito o Melhor Levantador da edição.Ainda em 2014 foi campeão do Campeonato Sul-Americano de Clubes disputado em Belo Horizonte-Brasil e medalha de ouro da Copa Brasil 2014 disputada em Maringá e semifinalista do Campeonato Mundial de Clubes também na capital mineira, encerrando na quarta posição e foi semifinalista encerrando na quarta posição e foi o segundo melhor levantador desta edição.

Após conquistar cinco títulos  de seis competições disputadas, William renovou com o Sada Cruzeiro para as disputas previstas do calendário esportivo da temporada 2014-15, agora renovou com o SADA CRUZEIRO até 2016. E em 2015 foi convocado novamente para a Seleção Masculina de Voleibol.

No dia 2 de maio de 2017, William acerta sua transferência para o Sesi - SP, após 7 anos defendendo a equipe do Sada Cruzeiro. Antes, porém, conquistou a Superliga Masculina de Volei 2016-2017 com a sua agora ex-equipe.

Controvérsias
Em 2018, William Anjorna criticou a exibição de um beijo entre dois homens na novela Orgulho e Paixão, exibida pela Rede Globo. O jogador fez um paralelo entre a cena exibida e a proibição, determinada pelos apresentadores do Jornal Nacional de que Jair Bolsonaro exibisse um livreto que supostamente faria parte de um kit gay, teoria da conspiração que acredita na existência de materiais impróprios para crianças sendo exibido nas escolas publicas do Brasil e que já foi desmentida. Na ocasião, o jogador postou em sua conta oficial no Twitter: "Mas o 'livrinho' não pode exibir no JN".

Após as eleições de 2018, o jogador defendeu a extinção do Ministério do Esporte. "Alguém tem que arrumar a casa, e espero que assim seja feita, mesmo sofrendo na pele por culpa de governos corruptos", disse o jogador.

Vida pessoal
William perdeu seu pai, também chamado William Arjona, no acidente aéreo da TAM em 31 de outubro de 1996, Voo 402 com destino ao Rio de Janeiro. Esse acidente ficou conhecido na época como a maior tragédia do aeroporto de Congonhas-SP, quando o avião caiu numa rua residencial no bairro do Jabaquara 24 segundos após a decolagem. William Arjona era diretor de Desenvolvimento de Negócios no Brasil da Tractebel. A empresa atua na área de privatização.

Broken Cable Damages Arecibo
Thread: Broken Cable Damages Arecibo
2020-Dec-01, 03:42 PM #31
While I really would like to see Arecibo replaced, I would hate for an important geological site like Meteor Crater be destroyed to accomplish that. I also can't believe it would make that much of a difference in cost.
And there's already a perfectly good site that's not a unique geological formation and major tourist attraction. It's even already equipped to support radio telescope operations.

It didn't wait for the controlled demolition. *sigh*
But it does show that demolition was the right call. It was just waiting to fall. Happily, it appears nobody was hurt. Now I wonder if there is any need for any more demolition, or just conventional removal procedures.

So basically:
the structure hung on 18 cables (6 cables in each of the 3 directions)
when 1 of the 6 cables snapped after 50+ years, the structure was left standing for 3 month (August to November), but the remaining 5 cables, already weakened, were overloaded, so second cable snapped in early November and third cable 3 weeks after 4 cables of 6 had been left
failure of 3rd cable out of 6 exceeded the margin of the safety of the remaining 3, so the structure collapsed immediately.
What had been the contingency plan to replace 1 snapped cable out of 6, that they should have carried out in the 3 months after August but did not?
What was supposed to be the contingency plan to replace cables without dropping them in the dish at all? What was the plan to detect weakening of cables, so they could be replaced before they ever snap and fall in the dish?

I watched a Scott Manley video on it a couple of hours ago. He described the first two cable failures as being on "Tower 4". There are only three. What?
Then he later referred to "Tower 8" and "Tower 12". Oh. It's a clock!

Now that (most?) of the danger has passed, what about a central tower on the site?
Most of the dish is intact---a central tower might be ringed with a hoop shaped feed horn that can be raised or lowered flagpole style?
Not as good--but that might be something to salvage.
Puerto Rico's Arecibo Observatory 'not closing' after collapse
QUOTE: Ralph Gaume, director of the US National Science Foundation's division of astronomical sciences, said "the NSF is not closing the Arecibo Observatory... The NSF is deeply saddened by the situation," he told reporters, adding that the agency "has a very well-defined process for funding and constructing large-scale infrastructure including telescopes... it's very early for us to comment on the replacement."

Good. So do I. Like the Six Million Dollar man, let's make it better!
I don't know about faster, but stronger would be good.
If nothing else, maybe a pilot rectenna for SPSS.
A decade or two back, I saw art of disk shaped AESA Radar blimps.
I wonder if such a disk could be raised/lowered here. Soft robotics and print-on circuits and all.
Deflate before storms...
I confess I haven't looked, but have they said WHY the cables failed? My first guess would be corrosion. That should have been preventable.
I just watched the drone footage. When we learn about multistrand cables like those, the failure of one strand is a very serious event because total failure is not far behind. Obviously the cable is designed within safe load and, I would think, fatigue limit, which for steel is about half the proof load, which is the elastic limit.
So a single strand should not fail. Corrosion is a possible cause but I suspect slippage or creep at the end where the cable is expanded and locked together with Zinc. The idea is that all strands are equally loaded but if the centre strands start to creep through the zinc block, the outers get overloaded. To some degree the load sharing is benign, but once one strand goes there is the domino effect.
Unfortunately, the weight load cannot be removed so failure is inevitable unless another cable can be introduced. So it might not be a failure of maintenance but a built in obsolescence due to creep in the cable ends. Those cables are old and in the 60s creep was just being discovered and researched. Creep of steel inside a zinc block might not even have been discovered.
It is thought that creep will occur at all loads but takes longer, obviously, as load decreases. Metals basically do not creep in their crystalline form but when you have an interface, the bond is not necessarily crystalline and you have the hard to analyse interface of two metals with different Youngs Modulus. Basic testing will have established a safe proof load at the time, but creep was too new to be considered or to have design parameters.
That's just my speculation, I studied creep in the 60s. It was not in the syllabus at that time.
Last edited by profloater; 2020-Dec-08 at 02:26 PM. Reason: Corrected increase to decrease
Nice explanation profloater.
I also wonder if dynamic loads could have been higher than anticipated, such as from the several hurricanes that Puerto Rico has had, accelerating the slippage over time.
Maybe lightning strikes annealed some of the metal? Vibrations alone would work the metal like spoonbenders do.
Yes that is also a major factor, the wind load could start vibrations too. When I was at Bristol university the Severn bridge was being built and not only did I visit regularly to watch progress, I was lectured by the team dealing with that problem. At a critical wind speed, the cables go into higher modes of vibration, the Aeolian harp effect. The answer then , in 1966, was peanut shaped weights strapped to the cables at the nodes of the higher frequencies. Their angular inertia damped those. Without them there was a risk of failure above a certain wind speed through resonance. That also stresses the outer fibres more. Thanks for the thought, I had not considered higher wind speeds as I should have done. It also loads the ends more.
https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2B5E9GR/de...uk-2B5E9GR.jpg
In this photo the added weights can just be made out on the vertical cables . From memory some were at a quarter, second mode while others were lower for even higher modes on longer cables.

Congress asks for report on Arecibo radio telescope collapse. The observatory is not closing, according to the National Science Foundation. The request comes as the observatory's supporters continue to rally on the facility's behalf, including a successful public petition calling for White House support of rebuilding at the site and a decision by the island's governor to allocate $8 million to the effort.

If you haven't already, you should see "The Girl Next Door". I don't know the name of the character, but he plays a porn producer/director that is trying to get Elisha Cuthbert's character to work for him again after she leaves porn. The dude with brown spiky hair to be more specific. He's got some funny lines and has a 'I'm on top of the world, f**k you' type attitude. He's a total assh**e but good with women. To me, this movie sucked except for the scenes he was in.
This goes out to all the women I've loved before and to all the women I'll love tonight.

Wow I read through almost all of this and I can not believe no one mentioned "Wedding Crashers". Not only is it like one of the funniest movies in a long while in my opinion its also a great DJ movie or PUA movie.

Legends of the Fall and Glengarry Glen Ross
The best example in my mind of an alpha male portrayed in film is the character Tristan in Legends of the Fall, played by Brad Pitt. He has only one ****y and funny line in the movie to my knowledge (when he's talking to his younger brother about fvcking), but he epitomizes what it is to be alpha. I wouldn't call him a PUA, but he is definitely a chick magnet in the movie. He's confident, independent, aggressive, and fearless. Most importantly, he does whatever he wants and doesn't apologize for his behavior.
Also pay close attention to Alec Baldwin's character Blake in Glengarry Glen Ross. He has "brass balls" in this movie. His philosophy for selling real estate that he explains in his only scene in the movie is exactly how DJs should be approaching picking up women. "ABC--always be closing." Watch his monologue before going out to the club to boost your morale. Haha.

Yeah, I saw Don Juan De Marco just this month. It was nothing special. Johnny Depp plays a delusional 20 year old living in Queens, NY who thinks he's Don Juan and dresses in a black cape with a mask and all. He doesn't have any memorable scenes where he uses game to seduce women. I wouldn't waste my time with this one.

I might suggest a little Guy Richie called Revolver to be added to the list.
In it, the main character realises that his inner voice, that had being guiding him throughout the film, is in fact his true enemy, it is what always makes him anxious in threatening situations and makes him flip on occassions. A scene in a elevator shows him ' fighting ' with his inner voice and winning. The final scene of the film ( after he overcomes his inner voice ) shows him in a threatening situation but he is not anxious at all anymore. I'm crap at explaining things but its worth seeing, for that alone, I think.
I also recently saw Fight Club, I won't say much as it will spoil the film. But the Brad's character is indeed a good one, one who doesn't give a F*** about anything and as well as encouraging to look at society in a different way. I don't like the whole ' giving up all hope ' ideal but I agree with the ' You are not specail! ' idea, though.

Let's see... It all depends of what kind of a man or DJ you're trying to portray. My favorites are:
-Don Juan de Marco (quote: "I would say that he has a rather limited and uncreative way of looking at the situation. Look, you want to know if I understand that this is a mental hospital? Yes, I understand that, but then how can I say that you are Don Octavio and I am a guest at your villa? Correct?")
-Dr. Zhivago (I know, I know... Still, Omar Sharif kicks ass in that, he's a clear example of a "good guy with an attitude")
-Roger Dodger
-Ocean's Eleven (Pitt-Clooney combo, excellent convo, both are C&F to the T)
-Brilliant Mind (another "good guy with an attitude" example)
-An Officer and a Gentleman (Gere's got game, apparently all the chicks fall for his soapy "Autumn in New York" role as well)
That's a short list of what I have in mind for movies that can improve your character as well as your game.
"I never said do what I do, I said do what I say."

I think "Catch Me If You Can" is a good example as well. Especially the way how self-confident Leonardo DiCaprio handles women and also people in general. You can really see a development of his character and that finally it all comes down to how you present yourself...


"Love the color ~ it's so fun to use!"
"I haven't seen anyone with the same color and i love it! "
"No it does not come with a selfie mirror but its still a really cute unique color!"
"It is an amazing camera the color is actually what it is in the picture."
"Very pretty color and don't expect the selfie mirror, if you read the description it doesn't state selfie mirror so I knew what I will except when arrived."

The Real Reason the CIA Destroyed Interrogation Tapes

The Real reason for the Destruction of CIA Tapes
Why is the MSM covering this story? To put the proper spin on it of course! MSM:"The CIA destroyed the tapes because it showed torture." Thats the spin. It's a lie! A Smokescreen! Guess what? Everyone knows they torture. They were even told they had the authority. MSM:"uhhhh....OH, they destroyed the tapes because ..um..because they didn't want the interrogators to be identified". I'm not even going to respond to that, let's just say, I've seen scum on the show Cops on video that I couldn't identify. No...they wont tell you the REAL reason these tapes were destroyed.
But I will.
Guess why they torture? To get information. What information did they get? THATS WHY THEY WERE DESTROYED. It's what is on the tapes. They were kept from the commission and they were destroyed, because of the information the person gave on tape. Now do you really think that if MR Al Qaida Abu Zubaydah gave testimony on tape that the President of the United States Mr George W Bush, helped the people who carried out 9/11 escape justice that they would not destroy it? Of course they would. That is what is on the tape. You see 9/11 was carried out by mossad, US Intelligence, Saudi Intelligence and Pakistani Intelligence. And Zubadah spills the beans.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101030908-480226,00.html
Posner elaborates in startling detail how U.S. interrogators used drugs, an unnamed "quick-on, quick-off" painkiller and Sodium Pentothal, the old movie truth serum, in a chemical version of reward and punishment to make Zubaydah talk.He reeled off telephone numbers for a senior member of the royal family who would, said Zubaydah, "tell you what to do." The man at the other end would be Prince Ahmed bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz, a Westernized nephew of King Fahd's.
When the fake inquisitors accused Zubaydah of lying, he responded with a 10-minute monologue laying out the Saudi-Pakistani-bin Laden triangle. Zubaydah, writes Posner, said the Saudi connection ran through Prince Turki al-Faisal bin Abdul Aziz, the kingdom's longtime intelligence chief. Zubaydah said bin Laden "personally" told him of a 1991 meeting at which Turki agreed to let bin Laden leave Saudi Arabia and to provide him with secret funds. Zubaydah told interrogators bin Laden said the arrangement was "blessed by the Saudis." Those three Saudi princes all perished within days of one another. On July 22, 2002, Prince Ahmed was felled by a heart attack at age 43. One day later Prince Sultan bin Faisal bin Turki al-Saud, 41, was killed in what was called a high-speed car accident. The last member of the trio, Prince Fahd bin Turki bin Saud al-Kabir, officially "died of thirst" while traveling east of Riyadh one week later. And seven months after that, Mushaf Ali Mir, by then Pakistan's Air Marshal, perished in a plane crash in clear weather over the unruly North-West Frontier province, along with his wife and closest confidants.
Now let's take a closer look at the first Saudi official Zubadah claims is his boss and gives the phone number out as proof. It is Prince Ahmed bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz, who BTW is the leader of the group of Saudi Arabians that President George W Bush let escape from the U.S. as the 9/11 terrorist attacks were over.
Remember the flights of the Bin laden family and Saudi Arabians that flew out of the U.S. when the rest of us unwashed couldn't fly? Abu Zubaydahs' boss was the leader of them and he said that on tape. BYE BYE TAPE. Here is the FBI report of the Saudi flights that Bin Laden himself may have chartered according to the report and there on page 11/224 is the man Zubadah fingered as his boss and who they describe as the leader of this group, Prince Ahmed bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz.
http://www.truthout.org/imgs.art_02/saudidocs_2.pdf
No, they don't want you to know this. And as further proof here is the memo Philip Zelikow sent just a few days(Dec 13 2007) and on page 6 states:
Late in its investigation, reacting to press allegations that Abu Zubaydah had
referred to a Saudi prince in his interrogations, the Commission asked "what
information does the CIA have" about whether such assertions were made in
Zubaydah's interrogations. (CIA Question for the Record No. 3, dated May
20, 2004). We knew the CIA believed this was untrue but we asked the
question formally to get any relevant information for the record. We cannot
find a record of a CIA response.source:
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/national/20071222-INTEL-MEMO.pdf
The reason the tapes were destroyed is not because it shows torture, it's because of what we've been saying all along. 9/11 was an inside job. Bin Laden is Saudi Intelligence. 9/11 was carried out by the intelligence agencies of the NWO. It's on tape! Of course it will be destroyed!

"Humans have spent 99 percent of our developmental time in the wild kingdom, which tutored us in what Rob Kall calls bottom-up values?small, local, interdependent, respectful, egalitarian and decentralized -- and which the world desperately needs in order to balance out some of the darker impulses of top-down values. His faith that bottom-up values represent a critical re-balancing act for humanity, if not an outright better mousetrap, is compelling and hard-won, and I offer him a high-five for his courageous inquiry into the deep wisdom inherent in our age-old intimacy with natural rhythms, native intelligences, and interconnectedness."

Zigeunerweisen ツィゴイネルワイゼン (1980) Director: Seijun Suzuki
On September 25, 2017 September 27, 2017 By Genki JasonIn Japanese Film, Japanese Film ReviewsLeave a comment
ツィゴイネルワイゼン 「Tsuigoineruwaizen」
Director: Seijun Suzuki
Writer: Yozo Tanaka (Screenplay), Hyakken Uchida (Original Novel)

This is an unruly and long review for a great film! You have been warned.
Seijun Suzuki's (1923 – 2017) career as a director is split into two parts – as one of Nikkatsu studio's stable of salaried directors, he was tasked with making rather generic low-budget yakuza films but Suzuki's output was different because he had a keen sense of style and humour that subverted the genre products he was hired to write and direct. Brave use of dissonance in terms of arty visuals, sounds and music, and penning irreverent stories with outrageous twists made his films more memorable for audiences but less palatable for the guys running Nikkatsu who were not so enamoured with creating art and more interested in making a quick buck. This period came to an end with Branded to Kill which proved to be a critical and commercial flop and so the head honchos at Nikkatsu fired him for making, and I quote Suzuki-kantoku himself, "movies that make no sense and no money." Suzuki successfully sued them for wrongful dismissal but successfully challenging industry figures tends to get a person blacklisted (just ask Kiyoshi Kurosawa after his run-in with Juzo Itami) and so he spent ten years in the movie making wilderness formulating ideas with other creatives.

Once caustic rivals, Trump and Rubio now policy partners
They traded insults on the campaign trail but now Marco Rubio and Donald Trump are finding it's better to be partners than rivals
Once caustic rivals, Trump and Rubio now policy partners They traded insults on the campaign trail but now Marco Rubio and Donald Trump are finding it's better to be partners than rivals Check out this story on news-press.com: https://usat.ly/2vTjlvc

WASHINGTON — Marco Rubio was on Air Force One flying into Miami on June 16 for an important announcement on Cuba when he directed President Trump's attention to the cabin window and the marshy expanse below.
"You have a chance to go down as the Everglades president," Florida's Republican senator told Trump as they flew that early Friday afternoon over the River of Grass undergoing a multibillion-dollar restoration. "What a great legacy."
The moment underscored Rubio's ascendant role as a confidant of Trump's. Here he was with the president heading to his home state to help the leader of the free world unveil a tough new policy the senator played an instrumental role in shaping on the country his parents once called home.
That he also had the opportunity to personally pitch Florida's most ambitious public works project was an added bonus.
It might seem odd that Rubio has found fellowship with someone he once called a "con artist" and traded raunchy insults with on the campaign trail last year. Trump dubbed Rubio as "little" and accused him of having a sweating problem.
Even after Rubio endorsed Trump for president following his exit from the race last year, the senator seemed to punctuate the divide by not appearing with Trump during Florida visits in the general election campaign.
But the two have put aside differences to forge a pragmatic relationship. They've already found common ground on foreign policy issues involving Cuba, China and Venezuela.
When he announced his revamped policy toward the Castro regime in June, Trump expressed his "deep gratitude" to Rubio, calling him "a man who has really become a friend of mine."
While other Republican senators such as John McCain of Arizona, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Susan Collins of Maine have freely criticized the president, Rubio has kept his powder relatively dry on a president who prizes loyalty.

Critics contend he's been too loyal to Trump.
At an Intelligence Committee hearing in June featuring former FBI Director James Comey, Rubio bemoaned the volume of leaks "left and right" stemming from the agency's probe into Russian meddling with last year's election and any connections between Moscow and the Trump campaign.
"Ever wonder why of all the things in this investigation, the only thing that's never been leaked is the fact that the president was not personally under investigation despite the fact that both Democrats and Republicans in the leadership of Congress knew that and have known that for weeks" the senator told Comey.
Rubio, who had dined at the White House with Trump earlier that week, went on Twitter after criticism of his aggressive questioning surfaced, saying: "I didn't defend or attack anyone. I asked questions directly from Comey written statement."
Rubio says he has grown to enjoy the Senate after he declared his frustration with the job and skipped dozens of votes when he was running for the White House. His decision to return to the Senate — after pledging last year he would not seek a second term — seems to have given him a new appreciation for the position.
A key reason for his optimism is that he finally has an ally in the Oval Office.
"Now I come back with six years of experience, access to the White House, better understanding of how the process works," he told CBS 4 Miami in an interview that aired last week. "And I feel good about the progress we've made. I'm enjoying and fulfilled by the work we've been doing and I feel we've got a chance to do some great things in the months to come."
Brian Ballard, a Tallahassee-based lobbyist who supported Rubio for president before becoming Trump's state finance chairman, said the two men have a genuine affection for each other that made it easier to get past the verbal volleys they lobbed at each other.
"When the election goes the right way, it cures a lot of things," he said.
Yes, Rubio has forcefully countered Trump's claim that Russia did not meddle in the U.S. election. And he voted for a bill to make sure Trump could not dial back economic sanctions against Moscow without congressional approval. And he's publicly wished the president took a harder stance on global human rights.
But Rubio hasn't gone out of his way to personally slam the president, keenly aware that his agenda on Florida issues and foreign affairs has a better chance of success with Trump in the fold.
"If I have an opportunity to influence the administration's policy in a positive direction, I'm going to seek that do that," he said in a recent interview about human rights.

Rubio's been a frequent visitor to the White House, having dined or personally met with Trump or Vice President Pence several times. On Tuesday, he and two other lawmakers met with Pence to discuss geopolitics in the Western Hemisphere in advance of the vice president's trip to the region.
"I can't think of a more valuable ally the administration has had in the Senate than Marco, especially on issues affecting the Western Hemisphere," Ballard said. "He's been absolutely on point with the president and, with regards to both Cuba and Venezuela, a leading adviser on those matters. I think the relationship's only going to grow stronger."
So it was no surprise that the senator quashed any speculation about his own ambitions when a recent article in The New York Times detailing the moves several key Republicans, including Pence, were taking with an eye toward 2020.
"I'm not thinking about running in any Republican primary," he told the Miami TV station. "I am enjoying my service in the Senate. I think that's a hypothetical that isn't even worth exploring."
Susan MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa, said it makes no sense for Rubio to even suggest faint interest in a run given that it could endanger his relationship with Trump and complicate his legislative agenda.
The senator and the president understand the benefits a partnership has over a rivalry, she said.
"They each give each other breathing room," MacManus said. "Their relationship is more issue-focused than power-focused and that makes it easier to have these gives and takes."

Funders' umbrella group makes diversity improvement pledge as part of five-year strategy
The Association of Charitable Foundations (ACF) has launched a five-year strategy with a focus on improving equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in funding.
The pledge includes improvements in EDI both across funders' work and for the umbrella group for trusts and foundations itself.
As part of its new strategy, it wants to see "diverse, vibrant and effective foundations, working together for social good".
This includes new objectives for the ACF to "advance diversity and inclusion", support foundations and promote partnership working.
In its strategy the ACF is pledging to "gather and share data to deepen our understanding of barriers to, and support progress towards, diversity, equity and inclusion".
"We define diversity broadly to include various elements of human difference, including race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, gender, faith and class," states the strategy.
"We also recognise the intersectional nature of identity and the complex and cumulative ways that different forms of discrimination based on these attributes combine, overlap and intersect."
The strategy is based on consultation with more than 400 ACF members.
✨ We're proud to launch our new 5-year strategy! ✨
Our vision is diverse, vibrant & effective foundations, working together for social good. We'll keep working to strengthen trusts & foundations so they can rise to the challenges of our time. https://t.co/uDJPDJQYbL #ACF2027 pic.twitter.com/XQnvRhCzZQ
— ACF (@ACFoundations) January 19, 2023
"Our members were telling us about the challenges they see, specifically around addressing inequalities, the cost-of-living crisis and the ongoing impact of the pandemic," said ACF chief executive Carol Mack.
"They also want to respond to the climate crisis, act more on diversity, equity and inclusion and work together on stronger grant-making and investment practice."
ACF chair Jessica Brown added: "Foundations and trusts embody the belief that things can be better; mobilising funding, resources, and expertise to support people, communities, and a wide range of charitable causes.
"At their best, foundations are the most transparent, intentional, and efficient way of transforming private wealth into public benefit.
"This strategy sets ACF's vision of diverse, vibrant and effective foundations working together for social good. We're looking forward to working with and for members on this over the next five years."

Wealthy philanthropists need to 'fight their egos' to make giving successful, report warns


Forty kilometres from Braidwood in south-east New South Wales, nestled in the bush with a seasonal creek and surrounded by wildlife: this is where I live, write, grow food and recharge my batteries. Every dawn and dusk is announced by a rousing kookaburra chorus. Over time I have come to know the pairs of kookaburras that live around my property and also to realise that there is a deeper significance to their presence in my life than just the sharing of space.
Kookaburra is the messenger of the bush.
I try to put into practice through my writing the lessons that kookaburra brings: observe patiently, focus carefully, be swift and decisive in execution. Kookaburra also tells us not to take things too seriously. It's important to approach life with a sense of humour and to laugh out loud from time to time.
I have travelled a lot over the past few years and I have been to places where I've thought I could live quite happily. In the end, though, it is the raucous call of the kookaburra as dawn breaks and darkness falls that I miss most and it is that which will always call me home.
Robin Tennant Wood had a poem published when she was 10 years old and decided on the spot that she would be a writer. After leaving school there followed a career as a high school art and English teacher, involvement in politics and as an environmental activist, further study, a PhD in political science and international relations, a policy position in the Commonwealth public service and then director of an environmental non-government organisation.
She finally gravitated to fulltime academia where she lectured and researched in politics and policy. All the time, however, she wrote.
After a series of monumental life changes, she finally pulled the plug on her career to pursue what she decided to do at 10 years old. Sometimes it takes a long time to find out what our 10 year-old selves knew all along.
Robin lives in a small yurt, Kookaburra Cottage, which she shares with two gorgeous dogs and five cats, in south-east NSW. She lives as sustainably as possible on her 15 acres of land, off-grid solar powered and growing as much of her food as she can while sharing it with the local wildlife. She keeps chickens for eggs and manure, composts all organic waste, including humanure, and is working towards zero-waste.

I have 241 items on my to-do list.
They encompass all the things I have to do: for my family, for school, for my business, for my home. They include daily chores, monthly renewal items (like change out the kitty litter, lovely job that is), and "once-and-for-all" projects. I add things at a faster rate than I clear them out.
Sometimes I even add items like "read a chapter of a fiction book", or "take a nap" to the list as a way to remind myself to rest.
And I find the best thing to do is to start the day off with the item, "get up". I usually manage to cross that one off.
But many times, all my best-laid plans come to nought because suddenly there's a "crisis", someone gets sick, or needs taking somewhere. Or the washing machine breaks down or the dishwasher springs a leak.
I know these are first world problems, but they get in the way of being able to do good work. My list keeps getting longer and my temper shorter.
And so I was very interested in what Orleatha Smith had to say about getting things done during the Much More Than A Mom summit.
Orleatha is a personal friend of mine. She is a dynamo. She's a homeschooling mom of elementary school-aged children, a businesswoman, and she's been able to put on this summit, doing all the preparation inside a couple of months. She also lost over a hundred pounds and sticks to paleo about 100%. I interviewed her here.
I am in awe of her, and, in the past, have reached out to get her advice on what to do about my to-do list.
Here's what Orleatha has to say on How to Do More In Less Time: Prioritizing and Learning to Say No.
2. Develop action steps to get to your goal and write them down. These are the action items you need to take to get to your goal.
3. Evaluate your tendency to fight fires. These are the items that sabotage the above – carrying out the action steps and achieving your goal.
5. "Fight Your Own Fires" are those eventualities that require all of your attention, all of you, no-one else, right now. Examples include, dealing with your sick child, getting your car fixed when it breaks down roadside, getting the presentation together that you are giving in ten minutes time.
6. "Hero Events" are those that you can't say "No" to, and especially those you can't say "No" to but don't want to do. You don't want to be seen as the bad guy. If you say "Yes" to these, you will never have any time off.
7. How to say "No" (hint, it is a skill).
Practice saying "No" in the mirror.
Muster courage, and practice consideration for the person requesting your effort.
Don't offer an excuse because it can sound like a "Maybe". The requestor may work to turn your "No" into a "Yes".
Offer alternatives: "Not right now, but maybe next Thursday." "What should I re-prioritize in order to make time to complete that task?" By doing this you are asking the person who's asking the favor to understand that you don't have limitless time: this leads to a stronger relationship than one where you feel resentful and overburdened.
8. "Burned Out" is the state where you are simply undertaking mindless, non-urgent, non-important activities, that don't need you. If you are on Facebook, Twitter, celebrity or other mindless sites a lot, you are in this stage, and you need to re-evaluate how you are spending your time.
9. "Fire Prevention" is the state you want to spend most of your time in. You need to plan and have good communication. You need to take the time to determine your to-do items from your goal and schedule them in your calendar. Make them immoveable objects. These are the items you are going to get done, no matter what.
10. When something comes up that isn't in your calendar, it is in danger of being a "hero event". Start using your powerful "No" tool. If it's not in the schedule, it's not getting done.
11. Working like this will increase your self-confidence as you watch yourself achieve your goals.
And there you have it! Boom, boom, boom. I know Orleatha puts this stuff into practice and gets a *huge* amount done.

U.S. study offers reassurance on COVID-19 shots, menstrual cycles
On Jan 8, 2022
One of the first studies to track whether COVID-19 vaccination might affect menstrual cycles found a small and temporary change.
Research published Wednesday tracked nearly 4,000 U.S. women through six menstrual cycles and on average, the next period after a shot started about a day later than usual. But there was no change in the number of days of menstrual bleeding after COVID-19 vaccination.
"This is incredibly reassuring," said Dr. Alison Edelman of Oregon Health & Science University, who led the research and said it's important to tell women what to expect.
Some women have reported irregular periods or other menstrual changes after their shots. The National Institutes of Health is funding studies to examine if there's any link.
Edelman's team analyzed data from a birth control app called Natural Cycles, cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for women to track their menstrual cycles and tell when they're most likely to become pregnant.
Menstrual cycles are counted from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. Slight variations from month to month are normal — stress, diet and even exercise can spur temporary changes.
Edelman said the study included women with "the most normal of normal" cycle length, averaging between 24 and 38 days. Researchers tracked vaccinated women for three cycles before the shots and the immediate three cycles after, including the months they received a dose — and compared them to unvaccinated women. The app prompted women to enter vaccine information.
Immune system might cause period 'hiccup'
A subset of 358 women who got both vaccine doses in the same menstrual cycle saw a slightly larger change to their next cycle length, on average two days. About 10 per cent of them had a change of eight days or more, but subsequently returned to normal ranges, the researchers reported in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Edelman said one theory is that when the immune system revs up at certain times in the cycle, "our body clock or what controls the menstrual cycle can have a hiccup."
Dr. Nathan Stall administers a COVID-19 booster dose to Linda Pauderis as part of a campaign to bring vaccines to homebound seniors and their caregivers in Toronto Friday. The study suggested the next period after a vaccine started about a day later than usual, but there was no change in the number of days of menstruation after vaccination. (Cole Burston/The Canadian Press)
Dr. Deborah Money, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of British Columbia, agreed the findings were reassuring.
"Menstrual cycle length — even though, you know, some women will swear it's exactly 28 days, or 29 — it varies all the time," she said in an interview.
Stress and other factors can also affect the length of a cycle, Money said, so a one-day difference is not a big deal.
"It's absolutely reassuring, and would suggest that there would be no impact on reproductive health or fertility…

The 2020 United States election cycle finally concluded on January 5th after Georgians voted in the Senate Runoffs, and the choices they made were historic. After weeks of aggressive campaigning, Georgia elected Democrats to both of their Senate seats, Raphael Warnock defeating Senator Kelly Loeffler and Jon Ossoff defeating Senator David Perdue. Both of these victories are historic in their own right, Warnock will be the first African American Senator from Georgia, and Ossoff will be the first Jewish Senator from the state. Historical precedents aside, the question arises on how these two Democrats won in Georgia on top of Joe Biden flipping it in the presidential election.
As I have written in the past, it is no easy task to examine an election and all of its factors after only a few days or weeks. Georgians were driven to remove Republican influence at the senatorial level, and that could have been for a variety of reasons. Outgoing President Donald Trump's voter fraud calls were not assisting Loeffler or Perdue in their re-election bids. The baseless claims and shot down court cases weeks after the November 3rd election, pushed swing voters to the side of Democrats, hoping to strip whatever power the GOP had left in Washington. President Trump was not on the ballot in these elections either, possibly discouraging some from coming out to vote, especially after President Trump questioned Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's judgment when it came to allegations of voter fraud. These falsehoods may have pushed supporters of President Trump away from more established Republicans. While these are valid and likely theories, I believe Democrats and swing voters understood the weight of these elections. These two wins give Democrats the Senate majority with a 50-50 split and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris breaking the tie. If Americans wanted a properly functioning government, they needed Warnock and Ossoff in the Senate.
A 50-50 split Senate is not game over for Republicans, a resignation or death can change who has the majority and ultimately affect legislation. Regardless of this, having the House, Senate, and White House, Democrats are in a strong position compared to where they were four years ago. The Democrats have not controlled all three key levels of the government since 2010, early in the Obama Presidency. The Georgia victories will make President-Elect Joe Biden's vision for The United States more of a reality. Having the Senate majority can allow President-Elect Biden to pass a Covid-19 stimulus bill, one which includes $2000 cheques for Americans. It also enables easier pathways for healthcare reform, concerns on gun control, and the ability to reverse negative policies enacted during the Trump Presidency. There were concerns over President-Elect Biden's cabinet nominees having an easy nomination process, as it was expected Republicans would likely make a fuss over something. Two fewer Republican senators eased some of those concerns. If a Supreme Court vacancy appears during the first two years of the Biden Presidency, this majority will allow The President-Elect to appoint who he sees fit without much pushback. With Democrats controlling all three functions of government, it is a clear rebuttal of the last four years, and the main cause being President Donald Trump.
I have talked in a previous article about why President Trump lost and what it means about the Republican party, but now his presidency has affected more than just the White House. In 2016, President Trump won Georgia by 5 points, two years earlier in 2014, Senator David Perdue won by 7 points over his Democrat challenger. By embracing Donald Trump, the Republicans may have jeopardized parts of their voter base in key swing states. Georgia is now seen as a competitive swing state and has had a total transformation from 2016. The rhetoric from President Trump has put doubts into the minds of some moderate Republicans and it is showing. Georgia's path is not set-in-stone, it remains to be seen how races in 2022 and 2024 will play out. Perhaps these Democrat wins are flukes like North Carolina in 2008, or it is the early signs of changing party lines. Democrats for sure owe these gains for the poor judgment of Republicans in nominating Donald J. Trump in 2016. Thanks to them, there is now a bright blue Georgia in a sea of red.

Return of Air Travel Brings New Risks
Travel has been one of the things we've missed the most out of all the things since the pandemic began.
Many of us have been eagerly expecting a return to air travel, whether for business, to see distant family members, or just to get away from our now-too-familiar surroundings.
One of the safest pursuits for people to partake in is flying (see infographic).
However, fresh worries are being voiced about risks that may arise in the post-COVID-19 future.
New aircraft, "air fury," "rusty" pilots and even insect infestations are among the dangers mentioned in recent research from Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS).
Despite layoffs, financial difficulties, and the demands of an overnight transition to remote working, AGCS emphasizes that airline teams have stepped up to ensure that air travel has remained secure. The sector is steadily recovering.
According to the research, "there has been significant talk about the threats that may result from such an unusual period, as well as some of the changes the sector would see," as more aircraft take to the sky.
The Aviation Safety Reporting System received reports from scores of pilots earlier this year regarding errors they had made after returning to the cockpit.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) watchdog system, which is run by NASA, enables pilots and crew members to anonymously report technical issues and crew mistakes.
Following months of lockdown, "several of the pilots identified 'rustiness' as a rationale for the occurrences," according to AGCS.
"While there haven't been any recorded instances of inexperienced pilots hurting passengers in accidents, mistakes have been made, such as forgetting to release the parking brake before departure and landing the plane three times on a stormy day.
the wrong runway is chosen, and the anti-icing system that keeps the altitude and airspeed sensors from freezing is not turned on.
the state of the aircraft
Airlines parked about two-thirds of the whole worldwide fleet at the height of the first wave of the crisis.
Many of them are still inactive more than a year later
According to AGCS, "this unusual scenario has given rise to a number of new issues."
Loss exposures do not automatically vanish when an aircraft is parked.
Instead, the prices and hazards fluctuate.
According to AGCS, there were concerns about damage among aircraft that were grounded amid thunderstorms in Texas that produced hail the size of golf balls.
Large and difficult-to-control aircraft on the ground can result in expensive claims.
There were several collisions when operators moved fleets from runways to storage facilities at the beginning of the pandemic.
Therefore, it would not be unexpected to witness more of these instances as planes are transferred in order to prepare for reuse.
The accumulation of foreign items, such as insect nests, in regions of aircraft that give flight-critical air data information, has been described as "a worrisome trend" by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency as leading to "unreliable speed and altitude signals."
The organization notes that "this has resulted in a number of refused take-off and in-flight turn-back events."
On the other side, there will be a lot of newer planes on the runways and in the air, which offers its own issues from an insurance coverage standpoint because many airlines have retired larger aircraft earlier than intended as a result of COVID-19.
As we've previously mentioned, more advanced aircraft require more money to repair or replace after an accident, increasing the cost of insurance claims.
An increase in air fury
The latest in a string of widely reported events that prompted the FAA to issue a warning about an increase in disorderly or risky behavior occurred in May 2021 when a Southwest Airlines flight attendant had two teeth knocked out during a confrontation with a passenger over wearing a mask.
More recently, some high school kids refused to wear masks, forcing American Airlines to cancel a flight to the Bahamas.
According to the AGCS report, there are typically no more than 150 reports of serious onboard disruption per year in the United States. However, by June 2021, that number had already reached about 3,000, with about 2,300 of those reports involving passengers who disobeyed the federal requirement to wear a mask while traveling.
Not many COVID-19 claims
According to AGCS, the pandemic has not yet resulted in many claims for the aviation sector. The organization also notes a drop in slip-and-fall and lost-baggage claims at airports as a result of the epidemic's lower passenger volume.
As people resume flying, these claims are anticipated to revert to more regular levels, and insurers will need to be aware of any new dangers that can have an impact on claims experience.


Put The Avro Arrow Back Into Production Mr. Prime Minister!
When Canadians discuss the Air Force the Avro Arrow is sure to come up. As is with the case of the escalating costs of the Lightning II procurement, people on Twitter are bringing up how Canada cancelled the supersonic jet program in 1959.
Here's a blog that states: The Arrow was a supersonic design through and through, with 'clean' lines to achieve high supersonic speeds and a large internal weapons bay, and although this would have allowed some multi-role capability, in a dogfight or at anything approaching low-level the Arrow airframe would've handled like a pig. It simply wasn't designed for that mission. The CF-18's we have today can deliver a variety of ordnance from all altitudes, as well as hold their own in a closein dogfight.

Q: Find the function given the equation $(g \circ f)(x) = x + 5$ Let $g(x) = 4x + 1$.
Find $f(x)$, given that the equation $(g \circ f)(x) = x + 5$ is true for all values of $x$.
From my text, it looks like this would be expressed as $g[f(x)]$, but I don't see how you can determine the definition of $f(x)$. Do I need to assume a value of x and work backwards through the problem?

A: $(g\circ f)(x) = g(f(x))$.
So you know that $g(a) = 4a+1$, no matter what $a$ is. I particular, that means that
$$(g\circ f)(x) = g\bigl(f(x)\bigr) = 4(f(x)) + 1.$$
Now, you want $(g\circ f)(x) = x+5$, so that means that whatever $f(x)$ is, you want
$$4(f(x)) + 1 = x+ 5.$$
Can you figure out what $f(x)$ should be for this to be true?

A: f(x)= (X+4)/4
This is how I got it:
4(f(x))+1=x+5
4(f(x))+1-1=x+5-1
4(f(x))=x+4
(4(f(x)))/4=(x+4)/4
(f(x))=(x+4)/4
So the x that would make the equation true is (x+4)/4
