200,000 year old soil found at mysterious crater, a 'gate to the subterranean world'
Locals hear 'booms from the underworld' in giant ravine but now scientists say it holds secrets of the planet's past.

Many Yakutian people are said to be scared to approach the Batagaika Crater - also known as the Batagaika Megaslump: believing in the upper, middle and under worlds, they see this as a doorway to the last of these.
The fearsome noises are probably just the thuds of falling soil at a landmark that is a one kilometre-long gash up to 100 metres (328 feet) deep in the Siberian taiga.
Batagaika started to form in 1960s after a chunk of forest was cleared: the land sunk, and has continued to do so, evidently speeded by recent warmer temperatures melting the permafrost, so unbinding the layers on the surface and below. Major flooding in 2008 increased the size of the depression which grows at up to 15 metres per year.
Such 'thermokarst depressions' can be observed in the north of Canada, but Batagaika is two-to-three times deeper. Pictures: Alexander Gabyshev, Research Institute of Applied Ecology of the North
The result is an unparalleled natural laboratory for scientists seeking to understand the threat to permafrost due to climate change.
A recent expedition to the partially manmade phenomenon sought to date the layers of soil which had been frozen in time as permafrost, and also to gather samples of plants and soil.
Until now, it was believed the layers of soil were around 120,000 years old. But Professor Julian Murton from the University of Sussex - who inspected the site near the village of Batagai, in Verkhoyansk district, some 676 kilometres (420 miles) north of Yakutsk, capital of the Sakha Republic - determined that the correct age is around 200,000 years old.
'This project will allow us to compare the data of similar objects in Greenland, China, Antarctica. Data on ancient soils and vegetation will help us to reconstruct the history of the Earth,' he told Russian journalists.
Professor Julian Murton: 'Batagaika itself struck my imagination - its size is amazing, the crack itself is perfectly exposed, uncovered, all the layers are perfectly visible and can be thoroughly studied.' Pictures: Research Institute of Applied Ecology of the North
'I was both surprised and excited to learn that we can date the samples found in the lower horizon as 200,000 years.' He explained: 'We found several layers of buried soils. Two of them look especially promising. They show that thousands of years ago the climate in the region of Verkhoyansk was the same as it is now, and even warmer.
'We took the samples of the remains of trees to find out what kind of forests grew in this area. We also took the sediment samples - they will help us to find out what kind of soil predominated here in ancient times. Due to the permafrost, the preservation of organic is excellent.
'Batagaika itself struck my imagination - its size is amazing, the crack itself is perfectly exposed, uncovered, all the layers are perfectly visible and can be thoroughly studied.'
The expedition was a 'pilot study' at one of 'most important' sites in the world for the study of permafrost. The samples will be examined in more detail at the Institute of Physicochemical and Biological Problems in Soil Science in Pushchino, near Moscow, he said.

The next stage of work here will 'study samples of ancient ice'. He noted that such 'thermokarst depressions' can be observed in the north of Canada, but Batagaika is two-to-three times deeper.
The director of the Research Institute of Applied Ecology of the North, Gregory Savvinov, said: 'In the 1960s there was a road between the village of Batagai and some industrial facilities. The forest was cut down, and this led to the formation of the ravine. In recent years, against the backdrop of climatic changes, due to the warming, the ravine grew to the size of crater.'
In 2009 the carcass of an Holocene era foal - some 4,400 years old - was discovered, and a mummified carcass of a bison calf. Remains of ancient bison, horses, elks, mammoths, and reindeer were also found here.
The area is one of the coldest places on the planet, and competes with Oymyakon, from the same region, for the title of the world's coldest inhabited place.
Batagaika
There is indeed a Korean company that is trying to create a mammoth/ elephant hybrid using DNA isolated from well preserved frozen carcasses. These are not being hydraulically mined at the Batagaika site, but rather in the New Siberian Islands.
Brian H, Costa Mesa, CA, USA
"The remains of bison, horses, elk & mammoth were found there." Bison never lived in Siberia, but their bones, & the bones of many other species are found all over the North. The New Siberia Islands are made up of the bones of Mammoth, trees, sand & rocks. What you are not told is that these bones have been smashed together by a massive wall of water. If you want to know why & how, go read Immanuel Velikovky's "Earth in Upheaval" & 'Worlds in Collision." These catastrophes happened in historical times ... Man was decimated too.

perhaps they should not export thousands of cubic kilometers of gas and petrol because they get worthless paper in exchange anyway, and leave huge voids underground which will collapse sooner or later; Russia has enough resources to make everything it needs without exporting natural resources

For sure there was a great flood, but also on this planet has been a lot of them, and this will happen in the future too. Maybe our lifetime and the lifetime of our civilization isn't enough to understand how, at his own scale, the planetary nature works.
The last one, with massive extinctions was during the Younger Dryas.
Albert, Spain
The article does not mention the type of sediment that is being eroded. I will assume therefore it is sedimentary. Sedimentary with fossils was probably laid down in the ocean. Could prove that there was a great flood, or there could be other mechanics involved. As the ice melts you could be getting isostatic rebound like they have in Finland. As the ground rises, water erosion works more rapidly .

I am not surprised the present future, both requires, and is screaming for further research in order to understand the subcontinental "world" that appears to rise above our 'human' capability to understand, where forms of life start to infiltrate in "our" world. It is clearly visible that "we, humans are not alone" and "their marks are to be found" to leave a clear message behind (photo #1 and #9). "They" are making us -humans- aware of the fact they are about to come. In this case, either the question arises whether they are coming for our own sake, and benefits or do they truly have another intention we really should be afraid for ...?
Yannick X., Eindhoven-Acht, The Netherlands
It's even more interesting and also concerning that this story is what they share with the world. The reason this area is feared, and also a hotbed for scientist, is not for the reasons they told you hear. In fact, this is part of a Korean backed research, funded with 100s of millions of dollars through the Russian Gov and KGB to recover DNA from an in tact mammoth. The Korean BioTech company behind this is on a mission to revive the Mammoth and reintroduce them to the world through DNA cloning. The fear of the locals is from the shady characters who are in the area to find these mammoth samples since a single in tact tusk can fetch upwards of $50,000 to $100,000. They do this by pumping 10's of 1,000s of gallons up into the crater from barges on the river and blasting the soil from the crater. There are 24 hour a day rivers of water running back out of the crater as they blast through the permafrost. There is a unimaginable reward posted for anyone who provides the Korean based company with a Mammoth specimen that is in tact and will deliver a useable DNA sample. In the mean time, the workers in this region flood in from Russia where the KGB controls the countless ivory Mammoth tusks pulled from the site. Where there is 100s of millions of dollars and black market trade, there is violence & corruption.
This story is all non sense folks, as a matter of fact I wrote a posting telling you the truth of this area and they blocked it several times from posting. I even hid keywords by spelling them out. If you want to know the truth, look up, Korean Bio tech, mammoth DNA, reviving the mammoth, black market ivory trade.

I can "see" at least 2 "human faces" and even Cheshire Cat's face -- as long as one tries hard enough and puts the imagination to work... but I'm sure it's only in my mind, not in the image itself

Am I the only one that sees the huge human face in the background of picture #4??
Veronica, USA
It is very generous of Siberia to share research into this unusual site with the world. Ice cores can tell us much of the time before history, but permafrost has the added interest of recording what took place in habitable areas.
I also cannot blame the locals for their fear of the site: what would happen to them if a similar depression opened up under their own homes? I understand the description of their homely concerns is meant to give color to the article, but they have sound reason for concern.
Beth Hutton, Corvallis, USA
Interesting ..... too bad it is already being used as another fear-mongering, mis-interpreted data set for catastrophic climate change (global warming - which by objective temp data [land based AND more globe encompassing satellite data] has not risen for the past 15+ years). Most interesting is the 4400 year old animal life that clearly shows a "warmer" and apparently very healthy planet with what must have been a copious, thriving animal and plant life. I think we really need to lay down the dogma and fear mongering, let the data speak, instead of political agendas and experience the wonders of what our current planet conditions have ahead for us. No ....... we are not about to roast, No ..... we are not about to drown, yes we will have a return to thriving plant life that causes all other life to thrive ...... way cool. Perhaps we can feed the planet with less fossil fuel fertilizers ......

Why was Julius Caesar assassinated
Revision as of 21:55, 13 September 2019 by Admin (talk | contribs)
Caesar was born to a patrician Roman family who had once been very influential in the Republic. However, by the time of Caesar's birth, their fortunes had declined, and they were no longer particularly prominent.[1] We know little about Caesar's childhood, but during his teenage years, Rome was unstable. Additionally, the death of his father left him somewhat unprotected.
He was a charismatic leader and became one of the best-known figures on the Roman political scene. Caesar entered into an informal political arrangement with Crassus and Pompey, known as the First Triumvirate. This agreement allowed the three men to secure their political goals and become, in essence, the de-facto government of the Republic.[2] Under this arrangement, Caesar was able to secure election as consul and to become the commander of several Roman legions. Caesar lead these legions into Gaul to pacify this region. At the time, Gaul covered most of France and Belgium. Caesar then embarked on a ten-year campaign gradually conquered this region. He then used his legions to raid the people in Germany and Britain.
The Assassination of Julius Caesar
However, many of the facts of the assassination have been established with a great deal of certainty. The guiding spirit behind the conspiracy was Cassius, a leading Roman senator. The members of the plot called themselves the liberators. They sought to liberate Rome from Caesar's rule/ The plot involved luring Caesar to Pompey's theatre where gladiatorial games were to be held in his honor. Caesar was notoriously reckless when it came to his security. He refused bodyguards, and he declared that to live surrounded by guards was not a life he wanted. Caesar had only a few personal attendants who escorted him everywhere.
It was later revealed that Caesar had been stabbed over thirty times and that he died from blood loss. While it is somewhat disputed by historical sources, some sources claimed that Caesar's last words were 'Et Tu Bruti', meaning you too Brutus. Brutus's betrayal would have been especially shocking because Caesar viewed Brutus almost as a son.[5] Several of the sources also state that the Caesar died at the foot of a statue of his hated rival and enemy - Pompey.
Caesar wanted to be king
Why did the conspirators want to kill Caesar? One of the most commonly cited reasons for the assassination was the fact they believed that Caesar wanted to be the king of Rome. Many ordinary Romans did not have any problem with a monarchy and Caesar was popular with this class. However, the idea of a monarch was one that was unacceptable to the Roman aristocracy. They believed monarchs were a threat to 'liberty' and were ultimately tyrants. They believed that if Caesar became king, they would lose their freedom to take part in public life and protect their property.[6]
For members of the Roman elite, they felt that Dignitas (personal dignity and status) was impossible without liberty. Caesar's actions made it clear to them that he wanted to retain his power permanently unlike previous dictators of Rome. Their suspicions were of Caesar's motives were compounded by the public demonstrations outside of the Senate house by Roman citizens that demanded Caesar declare himself king.[7] This unnerved and persuaded many Roman nobles to join the conspiracy.
Many of those who took part in the assassination of Caesar were formerly ardent supporters of Pompey and had fought with him at Pharsalus.[8] However, the fear of emperor was so powerful that overwhelmed than gratitude or even personal affection for Caesar. Cassius the prime mover of the conspiracy was able to present the assassination of the victor of Pharsalus as tyrannicide, the killing of a tyrant. This persuaded many including Brutus to join the plot as they saw it as their duty as Romans. However, the evidence that Caesar wanted a return to monarchy is scanty and not conclusive. Whatever his intentions, it is clear that the conspirators believed that he was determined to rule as king.[9]
Breakdown in relations with the Senate
While the apparent pretensions of Caesar angered many of the conspirators, others were angered over his apparent lack of respect for Roman senators. Several of the conspirators were linked to senators, and the plotters believed that they were acting in the name of the Senate. Senators were technically the lawmakers and the ultimate source of authority in the Republic.[10] However, Caesar treated that body in a high-handed manner and often with contempt. He did not act in a respectful manner towards the Senate, and this alienated many of them.
Moreover, many senators who had conferred honorific titles and powers on the general were shocked when he used this largely symbolic powers to cement his position in Rome.[11] The senators believed that the conqueror of Gaul was engaged in illegally gathering more personal power at the expense of the traditional elite and was subverting the constitution. The strained relationship between Caesar and the Senate was one of the factors that persuaded many that Caesar had to be assassinated.[12].
Caesar was an incredibly divisive figure in Rome. Still, most Romans genuinely loved him but despised he was by the City's elite. The senatorial class and their adherents were very suspicious and hated Caesar. He was a member of the popular party and related by marriage to Marius, the darling of the common people. Moreover, many hated Caesar for personal reasons, and vengeance was almost certainly a factor in the assassination on the Ides of March. [13]
He had killed many of the senatorial order and the Roman elite during the civil wars. Friends and family members of the elite had died on many battlefields against Caesar during the civil war. Many prominent and revered Romans such as Cato had committed suicide to escape having to live in a Rome dominated by one man. Moreover, Caesar's policy of clemency did not reconcile the elite to him and his regime. Those whom he had pardoned after his victories continued to resent him and were instrumental in his assassination. Mercy was a characteristic of a king or a tyrant and those who accepted it was thought to have been dishonored.[14] Furthermore, in the social system of the time, Senators had become dependent on Caesar. Ultimately Cassius and Brutus, while pardoned by Caesar, were eager to wipe away the stain on their honor that they only lived due to the mercy of a despised autocratic ruler.

Reception
Exclaim! described it as a "celebration of darkness and foreboding" and praised "[Wumpscut founder Rudy] Ratzinger's talent for writing a catchy song", noting the presence of "several boot tappers that make you want to hit the dance floor", but warned that the album is "not for the faint-hearted" due to its "heaviness," which makes it "an exhausting listen". CMJ New Music Monthly said that it was an "epic masterpiece". PopMatters was far more negative, calling it "one of the most soul-destroying, nasty, nightmarish, and unintentionally comical albums of recent memory", with "phenomenally dull hooks" and "lyrics[...] which I guess we're supposed to ignore (I hope)", and particularly emphasizing that the songs "Christfuck" and "Opening the Gates of Hell" were "as hilarious as their titles"; PopMatters did, however, concede that "Eclipse (Kaelte Container Remix)" features "genuine joyous danceability".

Jan.20 (GMM) The president of Brazil's auto racing federation is not sure it is true that "F1 is always the best option" for the country's rising drivers.
Confederacao Brasileira de Automobilismo (CBA) president Cleyton Pinteiro's comments follow the criticism of well-known F1 figures like Felipe Massa and Rubens Barrichello, who have said more should be done to support new Brazilian drivers on the road to formula one.
Brazil has a rich history of F1 drivers, with Ayrton Senna considered perhaps the sport's all-time great, Nelson Piquet and Emerson Fittipaldi also winning titles, Barrichello holding the record as the most experienced driver and Massa also enjoying a long and successful Ferrari career.
But with that seat now taken by Kimi Raikkonen, Massa has moved to struggling Williams for 2014, and he will be alone in flying the green, yellow and blue colours around the F1 calendar this year.
That's because burgeoning drivers like Luiz Razia and Felipe Nasr have stumbled at the final hurdle to F1, as despite the strong Brazilian economy, both were priced out of the market for race seats in the past couple of years.
Pinteiro, however, insists that F1 is not the be-all and end-all of top motor sport.
"Today, Brazil is a reference in almost all of the categories worldwide," he told Globo Esporte.
"We have strong national motor sport, which pays well and gives the drivers a return for their sponsors.
"Luiz Razia and Felipe Nasr are not absent (from F1) because they lack talent. F1 is not always the best option," Pinteiro argues.
"We have several Brazilians racing in several global categories, which unfortunately is not properly recognised.
"Do a search for who is the current vice-champion of the (German touring car series) DTM. Did you know it is Augusto Farfus?
"A Brazilian won the Indianapolis 500 and another (Brazilian) driver fought for the (2013 Indycar) championship until the very last race," he added.
"The world of motor sport is not limited to F1," Pinteiro insisted.


On Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese aircraft attacked Pearl Harbor in Oahu. The USS Arizona exploded and sank to the bottom of the harbor, bringing the ship's 1,177 crewmen with it.
On Feb. 4, 2015, Joe Langdell, the oldest remaining survivor of the attack on the USS Arizona, passed away in a skilled nursing center in Yuba City, CA. He was 100 years old.
According to website AZ Central, Langdell started his adult life as a Boston accountant before deciding to join the Navy in 1940, with war on the horizon. Because of his college degree, he was placed in an officers' training program, and his first assignment was the USS Arizona.
During the Pearl Harbor attack, the USS Arizona faced the most intense bombing, and was one of the only ships that couldn't be salvaged after the attack. Langdell and 334 other crewmen survived. Another 1,177 were entombed in the ship, which now serves as a memorial to all lives lost in the attack.
Langdell was in the officer's barracks on Ford Island the night of Dec. 6, and was awoken by the sound of the Japanese attack. He brought injured marines and sailors to the hospital on the island during the attack and would later help recover the bodies of some of his shipmates from the USS Arizona.
Much of Langdell's later life was dedicated to keeping their memory alive. He served as the president and reunion coordinator of the USS Arizona Reunion Association for many years, and returned frequently to Pearl Harbor.
After Langdell's passing, only eight crewmen from the USS Arizona remain. Four of them, John Anderson, Louis Conter, Lauren Bruner and Donald Stratton were able to attend a reunion on the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack last year.
Underwater divers provided the four men with a live view of the sunken battleship, which is still leaking oil after 73 years at the bottom of the harbor. The survivors then toasted their fellow sailors using a champagne glass salvaged from the USS Arizona.
Like 32 other survivors of the attack, Langdell will be interred in the sunken wreckage of the USS Arizona near the No. 4 gun turret.

The Lama Has Landed
Rob Siegel, October 8, 2018 October 8, 2018 , Resto & Mod
Two weeks ago, I wrote about my sight-unseen purchase of the Lama, a 1987 E28 535i that had appeared on Craigslist in Tampa. It had 135,000 miles on it, and a Lama-colored interior; it had been sitting for five years, but reportedly started, ran, drove, and stopped, although it idled rough and had a brake pedal that sank to the floor.
The seller and I agreed on $1,400, which seemed to me enough to cover the risk of not really knowing what it was I was buying.
My good friend Al lives in Tampa, so as part of the purchase, I had the seller arrange to have the car towed to Al's house. When it arrived there, Al verified the basic condition of the car for me by starting it and driving it around the block. The brake pedal, he said, did initially go to the floor, but once pumped up, it appeared to stop the car reliably.
I was thrilled when I saw that Spirit Air had $110 round-trip non-stop flights from Boston to Tampa. I thought that the Lama was a candidate for a mini-Ran-When-Parked saga: I planned to buy a round-trip ticket with, say, a two-day stay, fly down there with a brake master cylinder and a few other parts, go out to dinner with Al, sleep on his sofa, work on the Lama in his driveway, and try to give it what it needed. If I was successful, I could drive it home. If not, I'd simply use the other leg of the ticket, fly home, and have the car shipped. There seemed to be very little downside. I'd only be putting one cheap airline ticket at risk.
Part of what made the whole Ran When Parked adventure with Louie the '72 2002tii work was that my friend Jake Metz knows 2002s. Jake looked at Louie for me before I bought it, and again after I had it towed to his pole barn. He noted that Louie's tire sidewalls were badly cracked, that the giubo was in pieces, that the center support bearing was detached, and that the brakes were seized; this was invaluable information that helped me go down there with the right parts to resurrect the car. Of course, since Louie hadn't been started or moved in a decade and hadn't really been on the road since the Carter administration, I knew that it needed, well, everything, so in addition to what Jake reported, I took a myriad of fuel and ignition parts that any long-dead tii was likely to need.
In contrast, my friend Al, although he'd certainly do anything I asked, is not a car guy, much less an E28 guy.
Al and I had a Facetime session where he showed me that the car's TRX tires were obviously dry-rotted and cracked—possibly even slashed by an apex predator—and certainly not safe to drive 1,500 miles on. We stayed on Facetime while Al drove the car around the block. He noted that there was a chainsaw-like rattle coming from the back of the car; I could hear it over the phone.
These certainly were valuable observations, but they fell considerably short of the kind of feedback a fellow car person can give you. If you have a buddy who knows E28s, he or she might be able to drive it for you and say, "Yeah, it revs, but it sounds like it's missing; if it sat for five years, I bet it needs injectors. And it feels like the brake bomb is going." Al couldn't give me that kind of read.
Plus, the Lama, as a newer running, driving car (unlike Louie), fell into a gray area: The optimist thinks, "Well, it's running; how bad could it be? Head for the Interstate, keep driving, stop when you have to." Put a different way, how many parts do you buy and ship down for a car that's already running and driving? I ordered the brake master cylinder, and added a set of plugs, belts, and a water pump. That seemed reasonable.
No, I wasn't going to drive 1,500 miles on these.
But clearly the tires were the first hurdle. The seller had warned me about the old TRX tires on the car, and offered that he had a set of wheels and tires that he'd bought for the car which he would sell me for $400. Whether or not that's a good price depends, obviously, on what the tires and wheels are, and what shape they're in. He sent me one blurry cell-phone image of what appeared to be 16″ E38 basketweaves. I requested photos of the numbers in the bolt circle, the tire size, brand, date code, and sidewalls; after all, I'd be staking my trip on the assumption that they'd fit and were drivable and safe. After several requests, I received one picture of one sidewall. It was better than the TRXs, but it, too, was clearly dry-rotted.
The dry-rot in the tires the seller offered me was plainly visible in the cell-phone picture.
Suddenly the whole trip seemed to pivot on the ability to remotely procure a set of wheels and tires. TRXs, if you don't know, are a metric-size tire produced by Michelin in the 1980s and used by numerous European car manufacturers; BMW used them on the 5, 6, and 7 Series cars.
They require a set of matching metric-size TRX wheels.
Reproduction TRX tires are available from Coker Tire, but they're expensive. Nearly everyone with a BMW that originally had TRXs has long since dumped them in favor of wheels from an E34, E38, or E39, with appropriately-sized tires mounted on them. For example, 16″ E38 basketweaves fit an E28 nicely, but their stock 235/60-16 tires are too tall; the correct size for an E28 is 205/55-16. 15″ E34 'weaves and their stock 225/60-15s fit, although they also have too big a diameter.
I looked on Craigslist in Tampa and didn't find anything. Thinking that I could drive a bit on the TRXs, I searched northward to Ocala and Jacksonville, but came up empty. I put out the call on Facebook and received some helpful responses, but never unearthed a sure thing.
It was starting to feel like I was trying to draw an inside straight on a tight time frame. If I instead shipped the car and had it at my house, I could drive it around on the TRXs, at least for a while, and buy wheels and tires as good deals presented themselves.
I then took a hard look at the projected expenses for driving the Lama back. I figured, at a bare minimum, $110 for the airfare, $35 for baggage (Spirit upcharges you for everything), $200 for gas, $60 to ship my tools and brake bleeder, $150 for two nights in a cheap motel, and $100 for food: $650, excluding the cost of wheels and tires—if nothing went wrong on the 1,500-mile drive.
I am, above most things, a practical person. I wanted to get down to Tampa and see my friend Al and drive the Lama back and have another adventure to write about, but only if it made sense. I'd already done the gonzo road trip with Louie and written Ran When Parked; how many things would need to go wrong on the trip for me to get another book out of the same subject? The car would need to catch fire, be carried off by a tornado, and then get swallowed by a sinkhole, and I would need to fight off one of those giant Florida Everglade pythons. That would be book-worthy.
So I began looking at shipping. There's a detailed chapter on this topic in Ran When Parked. Basically, unless you're paying money for expensive, enclosed point-to-point shipping, where the driver works directly for the shipper, you're not hiring a shipper, you're hiring a broker who hires a shipper, possibly several. Brokers list the shipment on a website called Central Dispatch, a shipper takes the job, and the broker adds on his or her fee. Folks like me don't have an account on Central Dispatch, so in order to get some idea of cost, I went to UShip, which is more expensive because they add in their own fee.
The initial UShip price estimation based on comparable shipments to nearby zip codes was nearly a thousand bucks, so I created a real UShip listing with the exact addresses in it. The first bids were high, but then they began to come down, and seemed to stabilize at around $750, except for one outlier at $638. Of course, when I looked at reviews of that broker, I saw horror stories from people whose cars weren't released until they paid him more money.
Around this time, my FB friend Layne Wylie said that he'd had good luck with a broker in Texas named Garry Thomas and his company, Gartho Logistics. I looked at their website, and found Garry's blog where he described being a trucker for his entire professional life, how he got into shipping after an injury forced him to give up driving, how he'd only ever met a few honest brokers, and how he was looking to change that.
This connected with me at the car-guy-to-car-guy level.
I called Garry, and we had a great chat. I said that if he could get close to my projected $650 driving expenses, I'd do it, and that my only requirement was that my friend Al couldn't be jerked around—that is, he'd need to leave work to meet the truck, so if a shipper said he'd be there at 10:00 a.m. they HAD to be there at 10:00 a.m. Garry sharpened his pencil, gave me a $700 quote, and I committed.
I posted my decision to ship the car on Facebook. Some of the responses were supportive and complimented me on my graying rationality, but others were merciless. "Worst. Book. Ever," said Brad day. Clay Weiland chimed in, "I Drive An E28 Now: A Pamphlet, available now on Amazon."
Tough crowd.
Last Tuesday, Al sent me some photos of the Lama being loaded onto the transport. One of the photos alarmed me: In it, the car was engulfed in a cloud of blue smoke. It made me realize that I might not have asked either the seller or Al whether the engine smoked! I prayed that in the photo, the oily-looking smoke was somehow being blown back from the transport and not coming from the Lama. Denial, as they say, ain't just a river in Egypt.
This didn't look good.
On Thursday, the shipper called me, saying he'd be in Newton in a few hours. I live on a narrow street with low trees and power lines; transporters can't get down it, so when I ship something, I have the transporter load or unload at a location two left turns around the corner from me, maybe 100 yards away. A few hours later, the shipper called saying that he was at that location, and that the car had already been unloaded. I walked around the corner and came face to face with the Lama.
It was engulfed in a cloud of blue smoke. Then it died.
The shipper said he'd had no problems starting the car, but I cranked and cranked it and got nothing. Finally the car kicked over, but it barely ran. Clouds of oil smoke belched out the tailpipe. I had to keep my foot in it to prevent it from stalling.
The rough running was accompanied by the chainsaw-like rattle my friend Al had described. It was a bit of a spectacle; although I was only a hundred yards and two right turns from my driveway, the car, unfortunately, was facing the wrong way on a busy street.
The transporter was parked on one side. About 5o feet away, on the other side of the street, was an electrical utility vehicle with traffic cones around a light pole on which work was being performed. Traffic was beginning to back up around this S-shaped obstruction while I waited in the smoking, sputtering, chainsaw-sounding car.
When I had a clear moment, I did an ugly three-point-turn in the middle of the street, trying to keep my right foot on the gas while also pumping the brakes to keep the pedal from sinking to the floor, all the while praying that the car wouldn't stall in the middle of traffic. I got it turned around, made the two quick rights back to my street, and positioned the Lama nose-forward in front of my neighbor's house so I could back it into my garage. I pulled Bertha and the E9 out of the garage (something I should've done hours before), got back in the E28, had a repeat performance of hard starting and awful running, and then managed to get it safely ensconced over the lift.
It was done. The Lama had landed. Whew!
I thought that I'd begin by addressing the rough-running issue and installing the new plugs I'd bought. I immediately found that I couldn't open the hood; the rear edge of the hood hit the wiper arms. I removed one wiper, got the hood open, diagnosed the cause as a stuck hood hinge, and put it on the mental to-do-list.
Out came six old Autolite plugs. While they were out, I did a quick compression test; all readings were around 150. In went six new NGKs. Unfortunately, even with the new plugs, the car refused to start. Hmm.
I gave it a blast of starting fluid. It started immediately, then died, indicating that there was a fuel-delivery issue. The previous owner told me that he'd replaced the fuel pump, filter, and gas lines. I unplugged the fuel-pump relay and inserted a jumper wire between terminals 87 and 30 to bypass it. The car still didn't start. I felt the fuel line, and couldn't discern any pulsation; the fuel pump didn't appear to be running. I walked toward the back of the car to inspect this purportedly new fuel pump myself.
It was then that I saw the giant puddle of gas.
I positioned a milk carton in the puddle, sat on it, used my phone as a flashlight, and looked up. The line from the filter was disconnected and hanging in space. Well, I thought, that explains a lot! I also found that the loud rattle my friend Al had heard was due to the gas tank's heat shield resting on the muffler.
This disconnected fuel line Valdezed my garage.
I reconnected both the gas line and the heat shield, and the car fired right up. It seemed to idle and rev okay. The snotty rattle from the heat shield was gone, but the valves sounded a little loud.
Then I noticed that the exhaust hose exiting the rear window of my garage was fogging my backyard with clouds of oil smoke.
Okay, starts and runs but smokes like chimney. Great, just great.
Let's look at the brakes. The car probably did need a master cylinder, but no harm in first trying to bleed the brakes and seeing if that restores the hard pedal, right? I hooked up my Motive power bleeder, went to the right rear caliper, and— nothing came out. Left rear, nothing. Only the right front caliper bled like I would've expected. Conclusion: The rubber brake lines were probably swelled and plugged. Not surprising for a 30-year-old car that has sat for the last five, but it made me stop and think.
I was very glad that I had shipped the Lama instead of thinking I could simply throw plugs and a master cylinder in it and drive it 1,500 miles. Yes, I missed having another adventure, but in terms of both time and expense, I clearly made the right choice.
Had I tried to road-trip the car instead, I certainly would've inspected the gas lines and many other things, but I wondered: How long had that gas line been off? It wasn't the return line, it was the line connecting the output of the fuel pump and filter to the engine. The car can't run without it. It's tucked up high enough that I couldn't imagine it being snagged when the car was unloaded from the transporter, and yet it must have, by a remarkable coincidence, popped off somewhere between there and my garage. There's no way my friend Al could've driven the car around the block, and the car could've been loaded on and off the transport with no fuel supply. I guess I should count myself lucky.
I stood in my garage and stared at the car. My first reaction was to think that maybe I should dump it, float it on Facebook, put it on Craigslist, sell it as-is, make five hundred bucks and get out of it, but that thought passed. The idea that a car that sat for five years wouldn't need all sorts of work, including braking components replaced, is fantasy. With the Lama on the lift, I sized it up. Body-wise, it was in remarkably good shape. Other than the rust on the right rear door, there was just one spot at the bottom of the right front fender where some rust was starting to form. The Bronzit paint was basically intact, although a bit more sun-damaged than I'd hoped.
I'll work my way through the brakes, which I can do far more cost-efficiently from the comfort of my own lift-equipped garage than if I was working in Al's driveway. Once the Lama is safe to drive, I'll see if the oil smoke is due to stuck rings from its five-year snooze and subsides once some miles have been put on it, or whether it's a burner. With these issues, I don't know if I will make any money off it, or if the Lama will stiff me.
But to make the obvious follow-up Caddyshack joke, when I die, on my deathbed, I will receive total consciousness. So I got that goin' for me.—Rob Siegel

Against canned food drives: When gift-giving is wasteful
by Joseph Sunde • November 29, 2017
During a season such as Christmas, when hyper-consumerism and hyper-generosity often converge in strange and mysterious ways, how much of our gift-giving is inefficient or wasteful? It's a question that economists continue to ponder, but to which many a gift-giver is prone to shrug.
In one sense, isn't the whole point to mirror the most extravagant gift of all? Why be concerned about "wasteful" giving?
But if the starting points of our generosity become decidedly apathetic or misaligned with actual human needs, is "gift-giving" really what we're after?
In a critique one of the Christmas season's most popular gift-giving pastimes — donating canned goods to food banks — the National Post's Tristin Hopper offers a compelling case for why economic wisdom always always matters, even in the most mundane acts of generosity during the most charitable time of the year. Alas, the mass movement of giving random assortments of canned goods turns out to be wildly inefficient, not to mention easily replaced with other, more productive methods.
"The simple rules of economics are begging you: Give money to food banks, rather than food," he says.
Canned goods have a particularly low rate of charitable return. They're heavy, they're awkward and they can be extremely difficult to fit into a family's meal plan. Worst of all, the average consumer is buying their canned goods at four to five times the rock-bottom bulk price that can be obtained by the food bank itself.
That $1 you spent on tuna could have purchased $4 worth of tuna if put in the hands of non-profit employee whose only job is to buy food as cheaply as possible. The savvy buyers at the Calgary Food Bank, for instance, promise that they can stretch $1 into $5.
… And then there's the logistical nightmare when these boxes show up at the food bank's loading dock. Put yourself in the place of a food bank that has just accepted an anarchic 40 pound box of random food from an office fundraiser.
The benefits of direct-cash transfers are widely known and increasingly proven. So why do these trends persist?
Hopper concludes that most charities are worried about getting too selective or picky in their requests, which may have the effect of scaring away donors. "Free cans, despite the headache of sorting, are better than no cans at all," he explains. "…Nothing alienates a good samaritan faster than watching them pull up in a cube van of donated food, only to suggest that 'maybe next time they just cut a cheque.'"
On the donor side, many are skeptical of how cash donations would be used by the respective nonprofits, worrying that funds might be used for something other than actually feeding families. But Hopper proceeds to push another hypothesis that's a bit more unsettling, if true.
It doesn't feel as good to donate money. As much as we like to pretend that charitable giving is a selfless act, a lot of it is driven by the human need to feel special and magnanimous…As donations go, it's much more satisfying to donate a minivan filled with Ragu than to send a $100 e-transfer.
… [Charities] also know it's a tougher sell to convince schools and offices to merely pass the hat for the hungry, rather than big photo-worthy gestures like building towers of creamed corn.
The reasons will surely vary from person to person, and such donations may do far more good than harm, regardless. But if we truly want to help our neighbors, is shrugging acceptance of predictable waste the proper place to begin?
Christmas is indeed a time for extravagant generosity, so while we needn't be anxious or insecure in the gifts we give, we also needn't be blind or apathetic to their effects. Whether our giving suffers from innocent indifference or a more pernicious degree of self-focus, there will always be room to orient our hearts and hands closer to the needs of our neighbors.
The best gift for others will often seem more inconvenient and less satisfying than our personal preferences or reactionary hunches. But when it is, we needn't shy away, instead embracing what Hopper calls the "glorious world of anonymous, non-glamourous philanthropy."

Wood Counters Replaced for Dundalk Home
he census-designated place but unincorporated community of Dundalk is located in Baltimore County in Maryland. It was founded in 1856 and named for the town of Dundalk in Ireland. It is probably one of the first of the inner-ring suburbs surrounding the city of Baltimore. If you're wondering how to pronounce the name, it is either "dun-dawk" or "dun-dok," whichever you prefer. With a total area of 17.4 square miles, it was the largest of the unincorporated communities in Maryland in the 1970s.
The first explorer of the area where you will now find Dundalk was John Smith, who in 1608 came upon the Susquehannock Indian tribes that had inhabited the area for many years. However, it was in 1856 that Irish immigrant from Dundalk, Ireland Henry McShane built the McShane Bell Foundry near the Patapsco River, just outside Baltimore. McShane was tasked with naming the Baltimore and Sparrow Points Railroad depot that serviced the foundry, and he chose to name it for his birthplace. The foundry made three moves since then, to Patterson Park, then to East Federal Street in the 1940s when the Patterson Park facility burned down, and finally to Glen Burnie in 1977, its current location.
The community was not much of one until the Bethlehem Steel Company bought 1,000 acres of land near the foundry in 1916 to develop housing for the workers. By 1917, there was a proper residential community in an open grid which favored pedestrians with 62 two-story homes with pitched roofs, a post office, and two stores. It was also on the telephone exchange.
Today, Dundalk has a total population as of the last census in 2010 of 63,597, with a racial mix of 75.2% white, 10.8 African American, 5.5% Hispanic, and 3.7% Asian. The median household income (estimated as of 2015) is $50,673, considerably lower than the Maryland median at $75,847.
Among the notable people that lived in or around Dundalk include sports writer Nestor Aparicio, MLB pitchers Mike Bielecki and Dave Johnson, NASA astronaut Robert Curbeam, Kentucky Derby jockey Ron Franklin, and professional skateboarder Bucky Lasek. You also have Hellyeah guitarist Tom Maxwell and The Go-Gos drummer Gina Schrock. In the field business and scientific fields, there is businessman Greg Ottensmeyer, who was one of the founders of the flat-rate long distance calling service innovation, and Henrietta Lacks, the source of the HeLa cell line, one of the most important discovered in medical history. For the arts, you have jazz musician Tony Sweet, jazz pianist Jessica Williams, illustrator Bernie Wrightson, and journalist Todd Allen Williams.
Things to do in Dundalk
Dundalk has a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places, so there's that. There are also a total of nine parks in the area, including the Merritt Point Park, Turner Station Park, Lynch Cove Park, and Stansbury Park.
If you happen to be in Dundalk in the latter part of June, be sure to check out the Dundalk Heritage Fair, a three-day community celebration for the community. You will experience a real small-town fair complete with carnival rides, music, hundreds of vendors of food, arts and crafts, pig races, petting zoo, and a lot more.
Wood counters be gone
The project was accomplished in five days. It took the crew the whole day to demolish the existing backsplash tiles and carefully remove the wooden counters, which were high quality and still in good shape. The client may have some use for it in the future. The backsplash took two days to install. The client came to visit the site just as the installer was putting the finishing touches to the counters, and she was very pleased with the results. She said it was good to have the same stone in the new kitchen as her old one because it would make her feel more at home.
Post installation
Many of the projects we undertake at KNC Granite is to improve the esthetics and function of the home, usually in the kitchen and bathroom. In some instances, the purpose is to make the homeowner feel more at home, and that was the case for this project.

H.L. Mencken on 'Numskull' Presidents, the Spanish Flu, and the Depression
By Marion Elizabeth Rodgers - March 20, 2020 at 10:45AM
Throughout the autumn of 1918, while the infamously acerbic Baltimore journalist H.L. Mencken was completing The American Language, the Spanish flu pandemic took hold of the country. Laws were passed against spitting; streetcar tokens were bathed in antiseptic solution; but nothing could quell the advance of the flu. Few treatments were available. The influenza vaccine did not exist; antibiotics had not yet been invented. Each day columns of obituaries filled the papers. More American civilians died of the virus than American troops died fighting World War I. "All that could be seen from our house were funerals," Mencken's brother recalled. Outside their home on Hollins Street in West Baltimore, the mournful sound of wagons could be heard on nearby Lombard Street, carrying the day's dead to the outlying cemeteries.
Mencken's literary partner, the theater critic George Jean Nathan, had lost his brother to the flu; so had more than 20 of their other friends. It was not uncommon for Mencken to see more than 50 coffins piled in a shed at Union Station in Washington, D.C. He kept working on his book yet felt muggy, suspecting he may be fighting off illness himself, though in his case it was probably hay fever.
Reporters were told to write positive stories to boost public morale. Thanks to President Woodrow Wilson's newly created Committee of Public Information, the press took a strong nationalistic stand in their tone and subject matter, leaning towards the upbeat. Of great support in this task was the Espionage Act, which contained some of the most restrictive sanctions against publications in American history. There were penalties of $10,000 and 20 years in prison for negative coverage. The committee's focus was the war, but flu coverage was affected too.
For Mencken, a champion of the Bill of Rights, such restrictions were outrageous. Most of his focus was spent writing on neutral subjects, but he often was able to insert "a few licks for free speech" and civil rights. A great admirer of the medical establishment, Mencken had written about public health issues years before; he followed the maxim set by the scientist Thomas Henry Huxley, who fought for "the truth as it could be discovered and established—the truth that sets men free." A few editors were too afraid to print his columns.
"We have had so many Presidents who were obvious numskulls that it pleases everyone to contemplate one with an active cortex," Mencken once complained. In the future, "The country will remain safe enough for all practical purposes so long as it is in the hands of a man of character, honest, gallant, and mellowed and moderated by a sense of humor." Character is what we look for in leaders, wrote Mencken: "the assurance that they will act in a certain way in any new situation, and that it will be an honest, resolute and unselfish way."
But Menken lived to see yet another president fail to meet that standard in a crisis. For Mencken, the "Hoover bust" was "one of the most curious phenomena" ever seen in American politics. At first, he observed, President Herbert Hoover had been viewed as "a sort of super-politician," even an "anti-politician," able to handle the country's business "in a more frank and competent manner than the professionals," belonging "to a class of shiny, shallow go-getters who were much esteemed" during the Gilded Age. Then came the Depression, along with Hoover's repeated denials of its existence and then assurances that it would soon go away. Before long, Hoover's assertions began to be seen as "disingenuous, devious and unconvincing….No wonder [the public] distrusts him now. They have sized him up, and got his measure. They know by hard experience he is not to be trusted…they see before them only a shifty and shabby politician, his back to the wall."
The president's apologists "try to make it appear that the right hon. gentleman is suffering unjustly at the hands of the plain people—that he is being blamed for calamities that he is no more responsible for than the policeman on the beat." Presidents usually get the blame when things go badly, just as they get too much of the credit when things go well. But Hoover's inability to be transparent about the economic doom facing the country meant, for Mencken, that he deserved "much more of the damning than any ordinary President would have to face."
"The word principle seems to have no meaning for him," Mencken wrote. "The only thing he appears to think of is his job." What happens to such leaders is inevitable: "Their essential vacuity is plain to all. Facing genuine difficulties they have gone to pieces unanimously." This was true whether a president was conservative or liberal—Mencken was against FDR's New Deal policies. What he wanted was "a competent pilot, able to win and command the crew."
Our current coronavirus quandary is troubling but hardly unprecedented. The country has been there before, and somehow it has always emerged out the other end; our system offers no sure guarantee, but it is what we have. "The science of government is really very simple, else the world would have gone to pot long ago," Mencken once observed. Voters can pin what remains of their trust on leaders who show real character, or they can continue with the rank and file of the sub-par. "Then for the whirlwind!"

For six weeks in the summer of 2012, Siobhan Davies Dance invited two artists to investigate the act and process of making, by working together as part of a residency programme. It was initiated by the insatiably curious Siobhan Davies and developed in partnership with the Crafts Study Centre, the artists and Programme Manager, Alison Proctor at Siobhan Davies Dance.
The project has grown out of continued enquiry into dialogues between dance and other art forms which Siobhan Davies Dance has been championing since 2008. This project is research into how art forms can grow and evolve, and is also an initiative directly supporting two artists in their journey as makers.
This website documents the period of investigation between dance artist Laila Diallo and craft artist Helen Carnac. During the residency it acted like a sketchbook, where they added images, text, audio and film each day. It was also used as a public space where visitors were invited to pose questions and share observations whilst the project unfolded.
What happened during the residency?
Laila Diallo and Helen Carnac worked in the same studio side by side; first at the Crafts Study Centre in Farnham (11-29 June) then at Siobhan Davies Studios in London (16 July – 3 August). They were invited as makers to consider a series of questions acting as starting points to delve into the processes behind and leading to making.
Can the artist of one medium broaden the enquiry of the other?
How can we unpeel the early stages of collaboration?
Do artists have common questions that trigger a work into being?
How does an artist arrive at their thinking whilst making adjustments as their life evolves?
The presentation of finished work was not the focus of this residency. What interested us all was the investigation of how to make work with each other in mind in the future. As part of the residency, and to encourage and challenge the artists, four contributors were also invited to interact with them.

The Colgate Maroon - September 24, 1991
Tom Petty Concert Relies on Gimmicks
By John Holzwarth
The Colgate Maroon - Tuesday, September 24, 1991
The psychedelic dragon, a gnarled old tree, and perhaps the coolest hat box I've ever seen made Tom Petty's performance in Albany Saturday night thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately, at times it seemed that it was the gimmicks that succeeded in spite of the performance, rather than the other way around.
Between a successful reunion album with the Heartbreakers -- Petty's bandmates since debuting in the mid-seventies -- and a massively popular solo album roughly two years ago, Petty should be riding high. Perhaps the success of these efforts raised expectations of the show beyond reason. But the band that took the stage at the Knickerbocker Arena could hardly pass for the band that has been thrilling rock fans with its studio work for so long.
The concert focused largely on the new release and its predecessor, Full Moon Fever, as if the band dreaded playing anything of its older days. The show opened with two new tracks, then followed with Petty's solo hits "I Won't Back Down" and "Free Fallin'." The concert included several more tracks from the new album, including the singles "Learning to Fly" and "Out in the Cold."
The show also included "Running Down a Dream," "Yer So Bad," and "Love Is a Long Road" from Full Moon Fever.
Meanwhile, not only were many Petty standards that fans wished to hear left out of the set, but some that were played were rushed through in record time.
Most notably, about halfway through the show, Petty entered a brief acoustic set of his "classics." He began with a fairly smooth version of "Listen to Her Heart," and moved into a slow, shortened rendition of "American Girl," which got the crowd singing. He then moved into his traditional concert singalong -- "Breakdown." However, this rendition was pitifully short, stopping unnaturally after one verse and one chorus. It left the crowd wanting more.
A few other classics came later, including "You Got Lucky" and "Don't Do Me Like That." Most impressive was the encore-opener of "The Waiting," which began slowly, encouraging the crowd to join in, before picking up at the end. This version was quite well arranged.
But for the most part, the band was flat and lifeless. Guitarist Mike Campbell was particularly disappointing, bringing all the raw enthusiasm of a cinder block with him to the show. On some solos, he adequately copied his own studio work, but without exercising his freedom to add a twist or two.
Unfortunately, his improvisations were worse. Rather than sticking with the simple, emotion-filled solos that characterize much of his finest studio work (think of the simple solos he designed for "I Won't Back Down," or the dripping emotional notes he added to Don Henley's "Heart of the Matter"), he tried to impress the crowd with wilder histrionics that generally went nowhere.
The band did perform a few fun "rockabilly" type of numbers, and a surprise cover of the Rolling Stones' "It's All Over Now." But even the "rockabilly" began to drift together and sound unoriginal.
What saved the show, if anything, was the ridiculous and random set and props. The set consisted of a tree, with stairs running up the side and a door at the top, that resembled a giant Swiss Family Robinson playhouse.
At one completely random moment (albeit one that probably occurs at every stop on the tour) a creature that Petty simply called "the psychedelic dragon" came out of the tree to bring him his harmonica. Random, but absolutely hysterical.
Then, during a well-received version of "Don't Come Around Here No More," Petty ventured into a huge, blowing trunk, and pulled out his trademark hat. Then, in an amusing sequence played out under a strobe light, Petty warded off three random men with a giant orange peace symbol. Random, but still funny.
However by the time the show reached its close -- stretching barely two hours, encore included -- the gimmicks just weren't enough. Funny as parts of the show were, I was left with the distinct impression that the band wasn't having a terribly good time. The music was good, but for the most part, far from the greatness that Petty and his hand have been known to achieve in the studio.

European perspective
Keno Verseck / mll
Moldova is the poorest country in Europe and suffers from political and economic instability. But it wants to sign an association deal with the European Union, and that could annoy Russia.
https://p.dw.com/p/1AHXd
Scarcely anyone has heard of the country or knows where it is - even though it's a social, ethnic and political powder-keg right on the borders of the EU. The tiny Republic of Moldova, which lies between Romania and Ukraine, was once a Soviet republic and declared its independence in August 1991.
The country is seen as the only successful example of the EU's Eastern Partnership, and, as a result, the EU plans to sign an association agreement with Moldova at the Eastern Partnership summit in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, at the end of November. But, off the record, many EU politicians say the country is close to collapse.
Moldova is by far the poorest country in Europe. Over the last 20 years, over a quarter of its 4.3 million people have moved abroad. Its main sources of income are EU payments and money sent home by emigrant workers, which between them make up 25 percent of the country's total economy. The political situation is chronically unstable, there's widespread corruption and legal insecurity, and the country is divided into pro-Russian and pro-Western camps.
The problem of Transnistria
The country's ethnic make-up has led repeatedly in recent years to conflicts, even though the laws dealing with minorities are liberal. Some 70 percent of the population are Romanian-speaking Moldovans; most of the rest are Ukrainians, Russians or members of the Christian Turkic Gagauz.
The east of the country, Transnistria, split off from Moldova in 1990 and former orthodox Communists set up a Mafioso regime there is not recognized internationally. The narrow strip of land has turned into an international center for money laundering, smuggling and the trade in people, drugs and arms. In 1992 there was a brief civil war, but the conflict continues to smolder beneath the surface.

In spite of the situation, the EU will probably ratify the association agreement next year. The agreement, which will initially not include Transnistria, will open the possibility of Moldova moving much closer to the EU and even starting accession talks. The country would also enjoy increasing free trade, greater EU support and relaxed of entry rules, leading possibly to visa-free travel.
On the way to Europe
During a visit to Berlin on Monday and Tuesday (11.-12.11.2013), the president of the Moldovan parliament, Igor Corman, called on the EU to ratify the agreement promptly. Corman, who used to his country's ambassador in Berlin, is one of the leading figures in the ruling three-party Pro-Europe Coalition.
"Our government, like most of the people, has chosen the way of civilization and European integration," Corman told an audience in Berlin. "We're on the right path; we've introduced many reforms, especially in the fight against corruption and in the justice system. We are not a risk for the EU."
Iurie Leanca has been prime minister since MayImage: picture-alliance/dpa
But the German Social Democratic foreign affairs expert Gernot Erler is still worried about the fragile political situation in Moldova. He pointed out that the country had scarcely managed to implement reforms consistently. The Moldovan government collapsed earlier this year, but, for fear of early elections, quickly formed a new government with the same coalition under a new name and a new prime minister, Iurie Leanca.
Respect for Russia
Erler also warned the EU not to be too optimistic: "The EU has declared that Moldova is a success story in the Eastern Partnership - that's good for Moldova but bad for the EU. Everything is moving towards confrontation with Russia."
Indeed, the Eastern Partnership has been a failure in many ways: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Belarus have all withdrawn from various projects as a result of Russian pressure. Instead, they want to enter a free trade zone with Russia. Ukraine will be deciding in the next few days if it will sign an association agreement with the EU, and, here too, massive pressure from Russia could lead to Ukraine's withdrawal. Russia has already imposed indirect sanctions on Moldova: in September it stopped imports on wine and brandy, allegedly for reasons of quality.

Erler told DW he wasn't suggesting that the EU should not enter into the association agreement with Moldova, but that he did think it was "a bit too early." There was a need to build up trust by intensifying dialogue with Russia.
But Corman doesn't believe that an agreement would lead to an escalation, adding that he doesn't expect Russian sanctions, nor does he think that the Transnistria conflict will flare up again.
"How long must we wait for Russia to trust us?" he asked. "Russia has to realize that Moldova's pro-European option is not a decision against good relations to the East."

Q: Python downloading hyperlink with urllib2 Still new with urllib2 so sorry if this is a basic question but I couldn't find an answer anywhere that made sense. Tried to make a basic web scraper on the raspberry pi with python 2.7.9 that finds a url in the site and downloads the file however I keep getting http 503 errors even if I loop over and retry it never goes through.
    import cfscrape
    import urllib2

    def find_hyperlink( text, first, last):
        try:
            start = text.index(first) + len (first)
            end = text.index (last, start)
            return text[start:end]
        except ValueError:
            return ""

    def download_hyperlink(name):
        scraper = cfscrape.create_scraper()
        r= scraper.get(name).content
        link = find_hyperlink(r, 'Download (Save as...): <a href="', '">')

Q: Why is "\p{L}" not working in this regex? OS: Windows 7.  Jython 2.7.0 "final release".
for token in sorted_cased.keys():
    freq = sorted_cased[ token ]
    if freq > 1:
        print( 'token |%s| unicode? %s' % ( token, isinstance( token, unicode ), ) )
        if re.search( ur'\p{L}+', token ):
            print( '  # cased token |%s| freq %d' % ( token, freq, ))

sorted_cased is a dict showing the frequency of occurrence of tokens.  Here I'm trying to weed out the words (unicode characters only) which occur with frequency > 1.  (NB I was using re.match rather than search but search should detect event 1 such \p{L} in token)
sample output:
token |Management| unicode? True
token |n| unicode? True
token |identifiés| unicode? True
token |décrites| unicode? True
token |agissant| unicode? True
token |tout| unicode? True
token |sociétés| unicode? True

None is recognising that it has a single [p{L}] in it.  I've tried all sorts of permutations: double-quotes, adding flags=re.UNICODE, etc.
later
I have been asked to explain why this cannot be classed as a duplicate of How to implement \p{L} in python regex.  It CAN, but... the answers in that other question do not draw attention to the need to use the REGEX MODULE (old version? very new version? NB they are different) as opposed to the RE MODULE.  For the sake of saving the hair follicles and sanity of future people who come up against this one, I request that the present paragraph be allowed to remain, albeit the question be "duped".
Also my attempt to install Pypi regex module FAILED UNDER JYTHON (using pip).  Probably better to use java.util.regex.

A: If you have access to Java java.util.regex, the best option is to use the in-built \p{L} class.
Python (including the Jython dialect) does not support \p{L} and other Unicode category classes. Nor the POSIX character classes.
Another alternative is to restrict \w class like (?![\d_])\w and use a UNICODE flag. If UNICODE is set, this \w will match the characters [0-9_] plus whatever is classified as alphanumeric in the Unicode character properties database.. This alternative has one flaw: it cannot be used inside a character class.
Another idea is to use [^\W\d_] (with re.U flag) that will match any char that is not a non-word (\W), digit (\d) and _ char. It will effectively match any Unicode letter.

Chris Pratt Wants to Make a Movie Starring With His Wife Anna Faris

During his Reddit AMA on Friday, Chris Pratt made dreams come true when he answered a question about the possibility of a movie starring both him and his wife, Anna Faris.
Although Pratt and Faris have been in movies together (the pair met while working on Take Me Home Tonight in 2007) and on television with a romantic storyline on Faris' show, Mom, a Reddit user asked whether or not they would do a movie together where they both had leading roles, to which Pratt responded enthusiastically, "yes we will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" because true love means shamelessly using 15 exclamation points.
Here's hoping we see our favorite IRL couple together on the silver screen soon.

RCF has recently been awarded the contract to provide sound reinforcement for the upgrade and expansion of the Las Vegas Fremont Street Viva Vision LED display canopy that covers the four city block stretch in uptown Las Vegas. A total of 50 clusters — 350 total speakers — will be used in the installation. Each cluster is comprised of six HDL20-A dual 10″ two-way active line array modules with one SUB8005-AS active 21″ subwoofer are custom mounted on a steel frame and flown below the canopy.
The RCF Engineering team in Reggio-Emilia, Italy worked with the Fremont Street Experience crew to design the custom configuration, using an existing frame from a previous system, incorporating the six HDL20-A in an arc mounted between two flybars, with the SUB8005-AS subwoofer mounted on top of the frame.
In the process of the upgrade of the Fremont Street Experience, the venue was already familiar with the sound of the HDL20-A as they were already being utilized on the live performance stages. Already pleased with the sound, it was suggested using the speakers for the overhead reinforcement for the Viva Vision display. After a shootout with a number of manufacturers, the HDL20-A was chosen.
Consulting with RCF, the engineering team designed the custom cluster with specific splay angles of the cabinets to effectively cover the four block length of the Viva Vision canopy.
In addition, all three live performance stages on Fremont Street are using RCF. The main entertainment stage is configured with 20 HDL50-A dual 12″ three-way active line array modules along with 10 SUB9007-AS dual 21″ active subwoofers and eight TT25-CXA monitors for the musicians. The second stage has 16 HDL20-A modules, eight SUB8006-AS dual 18″ subwoofers and five TT25-CXA monitors. The third stage features eight HDL20-A modules with four HDL18-AS 18″ active subwoofers flown plus three TTS36-A active dual 18″ subwoofers on the ground.

I have been browsing around for some inspiration and I have chosen a few from different stores that I thought were really cool and could add a nice touch to my current decoration. I have my living room in whites, reds and beige colours so I was after these types of colours or even something neutral that could go with it.
I found this cushion from Live, Laugh and Love. I love cushions that say that you are now at home and it is time to feel comfortable again. It is a comfy feeling. I love that!
I saw this cushion at House of Fraser's website. They have a big and varied selection of cushions so there are a lot of interesting options. I chose this one because I love cats and also because what it says is really funny. I'm the boss so my seat should be reserved just for me when I'm back home, LOL! If you fancy having a little bit of a laugh I guess this cushion could be an alternative choice.
I love when you can get some quotes on your cushions as they can give so much meaning to the purpose of the living room. I like my living room to feel full of positive energy and have that sense of "ok I know life is not easy but let's try to carry on living". I really like that. This particular quote "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away" is just beautiful.
This cushion is really modern. I like the black and white combination and also I like the irregular shape. I think it is different and cheek. This cushion is hand screen-printed onto 100% Cotton and machine quilted on both front and back by skilled craftsmen in India. How amazing is that?
I found this cushion in Amazon from Catherine Lansfield. I love hearts and I also think that having some cushions with hearts will bring some love to your home. It is always nice to see those little red hearts around your living room, so you know that so much love has been spread already.
This is another cushion from House of Fraser. I love this type of Faux Fur cushion. They are so soft and nice to touch. I think it always look great if you have a few of these types of cushions mixed up with the other ones.
I found this cushion in TK Max. I have something similar already at home but the reason I like this one is because it is all in beige. The one that I have at the moment is red so I thought it could be nice to have one in a different colour. I really cushions that say Home or Love. It brings something special to the whole decoration.
What do you think of my chosen cushions? What type of cushions do you like? Which colours would you choose? Leave a comment below as I would love to hear what you think.
Love them all especially the Mongolian Lamb, Looks so soft and comfy!
I'm usually a big fan of texture, so things like faux fur pillows are super fun to me. If your furniture is white I would definitely go with a color that contrasts or adds some dimension. Also, I kind of feel like the fur pillows are best in the winter months. With Spring approaching it might be nice to lighten things up! I really like the linen quote pillow cover and the home pillow. Happy Decorating!
