Dow closes with 650 point loss after Fed Chairman Powell says he wants to speed up cut
By Andre E. Brenner	 Last updated Nov 30, 2021
Wall Street plunged on Tuesday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 600 points after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he was considering withdrawing support for the economy at an even faster pace . The blue chip index closed with a loss of over 650 points, ending November trading.
The Fed chief's comments came amid already heightened investor concerns over the omicron variant of the coronavirus that sparked the biggest sell-off in the market this year, Black Friday.
The top three averages fell to session lows on Tuesday after Powell told the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs that in light of a "very strong" economy, "so it's appropriate, in my opinion, to consider closing the taper of our asset purchases … maybe a few months earlier.
The Federal Open Market Committee, the central bank's decision-making body, will then meet on December 14 and 15. After the group's last meeting, Powell announced that the Fed would start cutting back on asset purchases in December. These purchases represent one of the largest central bank interventions undertaken in the wake of the pandemic.
Since June 2020, the central bank has purchased $ 120 billion in bonds – $ 80 billion in treasury bills and $ 40 billion in mortgage-backed securities – each month to add liquidity and keep the economy running efficiently. financial system. Powell said earlier this month that the Fed would reduce those purchases by about $ 15 billion per month, but noted the bank was "ready to adjust the pace of purchases if changes in the economic outlook warrant it." . He echoed that sentiment on Tuesday, telling lawmakers: "you will see our policy continue to adapt."
Powell's comments indicate a shift in outlook for the Fed, which has insisted for months that inflationary pressures are "transient." Powell acknowledged on Tuesday that it was time to "pull back" that word, and noted that the pressures on the supply side – the shipping and logistics grunts that have slowed global growth during the pandemic and are pushing up prices. prices of everything from cars to groceries – had been higher than expected.
A faster rate of reduction could lead to an earlier discussion among Fed policymakers about raising its benchmark interest rates, which the central bank cut to near zero in March of last year as the pandemic was hitting the US economy.
Some market participants said on Tuesday that Powell's willingness to revisit the reduction schedule amid higher and more persistent inflation was a sign of smart policy.
"Over the long term, it's constructive that the Fed is indicating that it is taking the threat of inflation seriously," said Bill Merz, chief fixed income strategist at US Bank Wealth Management.
Others downplayed the idea that the markets were caught off guard by the prospect of stricter policy.
"The idea of having to accelerate the cone was by no means something outside left field. It's just happening at a time when we don't know if this variant is going to drive the market down, "said Liz Young, head of investment strategy at SoFi. She pointed out that many Wall Street watchers had already raised the possibility of a faster unwinding of the Fed's bond program. "I don't think everything he said was outrageous."
But omicron, Young said, already had markets on edge. "We are on the third working day of knowing about this variant and we do not yet know how effective the vaccines and treatments are against it," she said.
"The market doesn't care so much about how quickly something spreads, it does care about hospitalizations and deaths," Young said. "We don't know enough yet. "

Relationships with women are complicated at best. Mothers and Daughters and Best Friends. Have you ever had a best friend or a really close girlfriend get a little too close for comfort - crossing all kinds of boundaries?
Queen of Earth finds Elisabeth Moss (Catherine) being so depressed by the death of father, that her childhood friend invites her to the family lake house for a little R &R. Right off the bat, you feel something isn't quite right. First off, her friend, Virginia (Katherine Waterson) has this really creepy, horror/thriller film vibe. You know the kind you get while watching Single White Female with Bridget Fonda?
Except, these two seem to be jealous and unkind to anyone that infringes upon them spending time with each other. Enter Rich (Patrick Fugit). Rich despises Catherine for being spoiled, privileged and uppity. Catherine isn't his biggest fan and needless to say, they really rub each other the wrong way. It's Rich's disapproval and taunting that eventually sends girlfriend over the edge.
However, it is when Virginia realizes that Catherine pretends to have conversations with people who aren't there, she realizes that her good friend isn't as perfect and composed as she thought.
Queen of Earth is a real interesting look at how a close relationship between two seemingly unhappy women becomes frayed and misunderstood as the years go by. The friendship either survives or dissipates.
This film was intriguing to me for one reason - Elisabeth Moss. Catherine was such a departure from her "Mad Men" Peggy persona solidifying to me that she probably should have won an Emmy years ago. Her slow descent into madness is absolutely brilliant and captivating to watch.
Queen of Earth opens today in New York City with a national release coming soon after. Stay tuned here and I will let you know when that happens.

ROAD TEST: Awesome e-tron GT is Audi's best electric car
December 8 2021, 9.05am
Without doubt the e-tron GT is Audi's most exciting electric car.
The four-door super-saloon is the sister car of Porsche's Taycan, sharing the same platform, battery and electric motor.
It's a fantastic looking car. Low, wide and with superb detailing it's a car that manages to be beautiful to look at without shouting about itself. Park it in a row of cars and it doesn't leap out at you, yet drive it out of that parking space and heads turn.
Audi does two versions of the e-tron GT. The first, simply called the e-tron GT, is the extremely fast one. Above that sits the preposterously fast version, called the RS e-tron GT. It's the first electric Audi to wear the hallowed RS badge.
I haven't driven that model, but I can tell you the 'entry level' e-tron GT is more than quick enough. It also requires deep pockets. The most basic e-tron GT costs from £82,000. Go for an RS e-tron GT and you'll need at least £110,000.
Turn of speed
It's fast. Very fast. The e-tron GT will sprint from 0-62mph in 4.1 seconds and top out at 152mph. Go for the more powerful RS version and you trim that time to 3.1 seconds, with top speed rising 3mph to 155mph.
Fair enough, some Teslas are slightly faster but that's splitting hairs. Once you get to this level of speed a few tenths of a second really makes no difference.
All versions come with Audi's Quattro four-wheel drive system. In an electric car this means twin motors, one on the front axle and another on the rear.
Being such a low slung car, the e-tron GT is of course not designed for any kind of off roading. What that four-wheel drive does is put the e-tron GT's not inconsiderable power directly onto the tarmac no matter the weather.
I drove the e-tron GT in high spec Vorsprung trim. It came with all the extras you could want, including fine Nappa leather seats and a fabulous full length panoramic sunroof, and had a £105,000 price tag.
I took the car for a spin from Edinburgh down towards the borders. On a beautiful stretch of A road the e-tron GT really showed what it can do.
Its turn of speed is incredibly impressive. Overtake a car and you're past and back in your own lane before you can blink. The acceleration is all you could ever need in a road car and then some.
Ride quality is excellent too, and it's whisper quiet at 60mph. Electric cars are heavy and, as such, tend not to handle too well. The Audi is an exception in this regard. I wouldn't want to push it to its limits, but it's a lot of fun through a series of bends.
Smart on the inside
Inside there's a 10.1in touchscreen and a 12.3in virtual cockpit display behind the steering wheel. Physical switches are, wisely, used for heating controls, heated seats and various drive modes. That panoramic sunroof is fantastic, stretching all the way across the cabin and giving it a light and spacious feel.
The e-tron GT has four doors and there are proper rear seats in the back. I'm 6'5" and you wouldn't fit more than a small child behind me when I'm driving. Two average sized adults could sit one behind the other, though, making the car a proper four seater.
At 405 litres the boot is fairly capacious and can easily swallow a couple of sets of golf clubs or a couple's holiday luggage. Audi loses a mark for an impractical saloon-style boot opening though. There seems no reason not to have made the car a full hatchback. There is another 81 litres in the nose of the car, which is useful for storing charging cables.
Speaking of which, the e-tron GT has an official range of 295 miles. A 100kW charger will boost the car from 10-80% in 40 minutes and the e-tron GT can accept up to 270kW chargers, meaning charge times should drop as infrastructure improves.
It's very expensive but the Audi e-tron GT really is one of the most impressive and capable electric cars available right now.
Price: £105,285
0-62mph: 4.1 seconds

Q: How to add path with dots in CreateObject Argument I'm trying to import the path from my component, but one folders has multiple dots, like board.event.calendar. Since this is the regular structure in this code base, I just can't change the folder name. I have tried multiple ways to achieve the right path in CreatObject argument, such as:
<cfset Event = CreateObject("Component", "path.to.'board.event.calendar'.Event") />
<cfset Event = CreateObject("Component", "path/to/'board.event.calendar'/Event") />
<cfset Event = CreateObject("Component", "path\to\'board.event.calendar'\Event") />
<cfset Event = CreateObject("Component", "path.to.board#chr(046)#event#chr(046)#calendar.Event") />

But no luck so far. How can I manage that?

A: CreateObject() uses the period character as the separator in your path, and will not accept invalid characters such as the single quote (as in your example above).
One way to do this is to create a mapping, and then use that in your path. For example, if the path to your application is C:\dev\myapp\, and the path to your calendar CFCs are in C:\dev\myapp\calendar\, then you can create a mapping in your application.cfc file like this:
this.mappings = {
    "/app": "C:/dev/myapp/",
    "/calendar: "C:/dev/myapp/calendar/"
}

(You can also create mappings in the CF Administrator)
And then when creating your component, you could use either:
myComponent = createObject("app.calendar.event").init();

or
myComponent = createObject("calendar.event").init();


The proposed permanent debris storage facility will sit on the edge of the current Piketon A-plant site. From this angle, the Village of Piketon can be seen in the background. Somewhere, not far from the storage facility, sits an existing municipal trash dump.
Johnny Reising, DOE federal project director of decontamination and decommissioning at the Portsmouth Site in Piketon, discusses the on-site waste disposal facility site under construction. The model he's pointing to shows off some of the materials that will line the bottom of the storage facility, including piping to remove what officials said should be extremely minimal water, or leachate, escaping the containment area.
The Department of Energy's Jud Lilly (left) and Greg Simonton point out the scope and scale of the X-333 Process Building, one of three buildings, each half a mile long, which will be deactivated and eventually demolished as part of decontamination and decommissioning under way at the DOE Portsmouth Site in Piketon. For this shot, Simonton was required to stand in a specific spot so as to block the view of some equipment still deemed classified. Officials would not allow shots of a very sci-fi looking control room inside the same building.
The opposition is plentiful, and there's abundant talk about high cancer rates, alleged groundwater contamination and a myriad of other problems.
"This was not an easy decision on my part," says Portsmouth Acting Mayor Kevin E. Johnson, who ultimately joined the rest of his city council in voting for a resolution opposing creation of what some refer to as an on-site debris storage facility and others simply refer to as a dump.
"We just feel like enough is enough," Johnson continues. He mentions weighing the potential for jobs at the site with issues such as alleged groundwater contamination and similar concerns. City councils in Piketon, New Boston, Chillicothe and other communities have joined Portsmouth in opposing the storage facility or radioactive dump, the title depending on your point of view.
A spokesman for Fluor-BWXT/Portsmouth, the private company handling demolition of the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (commonly known as the A-Plant) in Piketon, Jason Lovins says a record of decision already has been filed approving the on-site debris storage facility. Others connected with the project say placing debris from the defunct plant is a safe and logical step, and construction already is under way.
Lovins says once the plant was decommissioned, there were always at least three choices of what to do with the facility. One was to simply leave it as is, which Lovins says was not really a practical option. Ultimately, the decision was made to demolish the mammoth plant, which covers some 3,700 acres. The plan is to turn that land back into a productive industrial location, complete with jobs and tax dollars for local communities.
Greg Simonton of the U.S. Department of Energy says early on officials discovered they had a major problem in dealing with numerous acres on the overall site already being used as landfill. While those landfills are considered sealed and closed by state regulators, if left as is, that land could not be reutilized. DOE's Jud Lilly says with those landfills left in place, a map of the overall property would look like a piece of swiss cheese, the amount of land available for reuse severely limited.
Lovins says demolishing the plant will create 1.4 million cubic yards of debris, enough to fill Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati. What to do with all that material was obviously a question. While opponents of the new landfill or storage facility argue it will be radioactive, Lovins, Simonton and others all say the most hazardous material has and will continue to be shipped off site. Only materials with what was described as extremely low levels of radiation will go into the permanent on-site facility. Nevertheless, officials say materials placed in storage need to be covered with dirt of some kind. Voids between the piled materials need to be filled in. That's where materials from the existing landfills come into play. Those materials will be used essentially as filler in the storage facility. Lovins and Simonton both say doing so will free up for redevelopment the acreage now used as landfill.
What types of materials are in the existing landfills? A former plant worker, Vina Colley, is the outspoken president of Portsmouth-Piketon Residents for Environmental Safety and Security (PRESS), a grassroots group bitterly opposed to on-site storage of plant debris. She likes to talk about how an entire manufacturing plant from West Virginia was buried on the Piketon site. Simonton and Lilly don't deny that for a second. Colley also charges there was plutonium at the Piketon site. Again Lilly, didn't hesitate to say there was, in fact, plutonium in the Piketon facility, which was used primarily to increase the radioactivity, or assay, of uranium. Lilly says what he calls minuscule amounts of plutonium were brought to Piketon for enrichment. Although Lovins and others talk about how some aspects of plant operations still are considered classified, even limiting what photos could be taken by the media inside the plant, during a brief tour of the Piketon facility, Lilly never indicated the presence of plutonium at the site was ever a secret.
With a doctor's report to back her up, Colley claims she suffers from numerous health problems, ranging from pulmonary edema to a chronic respiratory condition, all of which she alleges results from the time she spent in the Piketon plant. On that front, Colley apparently is not alone. Each claiming they were sickened during their time at Piketon, a group of former plant workers meets monthly, Colley says. Most are seeking or receiving some sort of compensation from the federal government.
The on-site storage facility will cover about 300 acres in total, although only about 100 acres will contain fill. The rest of the property will be used for support facilities, according to J.D. Chiou, a DOE scientist working on the design of the storage facility. He and Johnny Reising, DOE federal project director of decontamination and decommissioning at the Piketon site, brags about how the storage facility will be essentially a sealed vault, one which will stay sealed for 1,000 years. Chiou and Reising emphasize no water, or leachate, will be able to escape the facility due to several safety precautions, including a thick, hard non-porous liner along with several feet of stone and specially compacted clay. Three, double-walled leachate tunnels will collect any water that does escape containment, funneling it off to an on-site water treatment plant.
Chiou notes that unlike municipal garbage dumps, methane gas will not be a problem at the Piketon storage facility. No materials which would generate methane will be allowed into the facility.
Colley mentions numerous times that the proposed storage facility will sit on fractured bedrock. Reising and Chiou readily admit that's the case, but claim careful studies show there is no clear path from where the fill material will sit to any water table. Chiou says while the technology being used at Piketon is state-of-the-art, it is not new technology and it is proven technology.
Fill should first arrive at the storage facility in 2020. Permanent capping should begin about 10 years later. That cap will consist of layers of stone and other materials. Eventually, prairie grass, chosen because it will help hold the soil in place, will cover the top of the storage facility. Reising mentions briefly a similar facility which now includes deer and other wildlife roaming around. Officials say the storage facility will remain federal property in perpetuity.
Although they had plenty of information well beyond what is presented here, the arguments made by Lovins, Simonton and others connected with the Piketon project are very unlikely to pacify Colley and other opponents. Nevertheless, Lovins points repeatedly to the decision of record, and he and the other officials all seem to consider the storage facility is a closed issue and a done deal.
Piketon Mayor Billy Spencer did not respond to several requests for comment for this story. Johnson said even though federal officials seem to consider the matter closed, there may still be room for compromise.
"If there is enough of an outcry, they may be willing to take a second look at this. That's all you can hope for," Johnson concluded.

Disney takes $1.4 billion coronavirus hit, sets date to reopen Shanghai park
By Munsif Vengattil, Lisa Richwine
(Reuters) - Walt Disney Co DIS.N estimated on Tuesday that global measures to contain the coronavirus pandemic cut profits by $1.4 billion, mostly from its shuttered theme parks, but said it would reopen Shanghai Disneyland to a reduced number of visitors next week.
It is unclear when Disney's other parks in Asia, the United States and France would again welcome visitors, executives said, or when the company's range of idled businesses including retail stores and cruise ships would return.
Disney said it will not pay a dividend for the first half of the fiscal year, which will preserve $1.6 billion in cash assuming it had kept the dividend constant at 88 cents per share.
Bob Chapek, who became Disney's chief executive in February just as the novel coronavirus was spreading around the globe, said Disney would reopen the Shanghai park on May 11.
The Chinese government has asked Disney to cap attendance at 30% of capacity, or roughly 24,000 people, Chapek said. Disney will restart operations with "far below" that number for a few weeks while it adjusts to new safeguards including social distancing, masks and temperature screenings, he said. [nL1N2CH21R]
"While it's too early to predict when we'll be able to begin resuming all of our operations, we are evaluating a number of different scenarios to ensure a cautious, sensible and deliberate approach to the eventual reopening of our parks," Chapek said.
Just three months ago, Disney was boasting about a record year for its movie studio and a strong start to the company's dive into the streaming media wars.
In late January, the coronavirus started battering businesses across Disney's global portfolio when the company shuttered Shanghai Disney Resort and Hong Kong Disneyland.
By mid-March, all of the company's theme parks were closed, movie theaters went dark, and television and film production were put on hold. Plus, Disney's ESPN sports network was left with no major live sports to broadcast.

"In total, we estimate that the COVID-19 impacts on our current quarter income from continuing operations before income taxes across all of our businesses was as much as $1.4 billion," Disney said, adding that $1 billion of that came from losses at theme parks.
Disney posted adjusted earnings per share of 60 cents for January through March, down 63% from a year earlier and short of the 89 cents expected by analysts, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. Net income from continuing operations dropped 91% to $475 million.
Shares of Disney fell 2.8% in after-hours trade to $98.30, after losing 2% during the regular session. Before the earnings report, Disney's shares had lost more than one-quarter of their value this year.
Disney is expected to take a larger hit in the current quarter, which ends in June. The company said it does not intend to provide financial guidance for the rest of the year.
It has taken steps to cut costs, including putting 120,000 employees on furlough, according a filing with securities regulators.
Executives, whose salaries have also been reduced, said they were optimistic that Disney would rebound once the coronavirus crisis subsides.
"I have absolute confidence in our ability to get through this challenging period and recover successfully," said Executive Chairman Bob Iger, who stepped down as CEO in February.
Iger opened the call with a statement about Disney's history of resilience before handing over to Chapek to address the company's unprecedented challenges.
One area gaining as audiences shelter at home is Disney+, the streaming service the company launched in November. Disney+ had 54.5 million paying subscribers as of May 4, up from 50 million on April 8.
The direct-to-consumer and international unit, which includes Disney+, is still spending large sums to build the service. The division lost $812 million in the just-ended quarter, less than the analyst forecast of $861 million.
At the parks, experiences and products division, operating income dropped 58% from a year earlier to $639 million.
Media networks, which include ESPN and broadcaster ABC, reported profit of $2.4 billion. That was a 7% increase from a year earlier, boosted in part by the addition of the FX and National Geographic Networks purchased from 21st Century Fox.
Profit at the movie studio fell 8% from a year earlier to $466 million. Disney released Pixar movie "Onward" just before theaters closed, then quickly moved it to video on demand for home viewers.
Overall revenue for the quarter rose 21% to $18 billion, just ahead of analyst forecasts of $17.8 billion.

Q: Laravel - Multiple Controllers within a View I'm trying to code a simple social media page. The show view should display a post with all the comments for that particular post listed below.
I've tried a couple different approaches with no luck, this is the approach I feel like I might be closet to success with, any suggestions?
I can provide other extracts of code if you think the problem lies elsewhere but I think my problem lies within these 4 files.
web.php
Route::resource('post', 'PostController');
Route::resource('post', 'CommentController');

show.blade.php

{{$post->title}}

Description: {{$post->description}}

Comments

  @foreach ($comments as $comment)

      User: {{$comments->user_name}}

      Comment: {{$comments->comment}}

  @endforeach

PostController.php
public function show($id)
{
  $post= Post::find($id);
  return view('post.show')->with('post', $post);
}

CommentController.php
public function show($id)
{
    $comments= Comment::find($id);
    return view('post.show')->with('comments', $comments);

}

EDIT 1
Post.php
class Post extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['title', 'description'];

    function user() {
        return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
    }

    function comment() {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Comment');
    }

}

A: You can get both data by make relations between your models
I think in your two models the relation would be like that,
Post Model
namespace App\Post;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    public function comments(){
        return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
    }
}

Comment Model:
namespace App\Comment;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Comment extends Model
{
    public function post(){
        return $this->belongsTo(Post::class);
    }
}

so if you want to return the data to view then,
PostController.php
 public function show($id)
    {
      $post= Post::with('comments')->find($id);
      $data = [
            'post' => $post,
            'comments' => $post->comments,
      ];
      return view('post.show', $data);
    }

CommentController.php
 public function show($id)
{
    $comments= Comment::with('post')->find($id);
    $data = [
        'post' => $comments->post,
        'comments' => $comments,
    ];
    return view('post.show' , $data);
}

For more details: https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent

A: firstly set the relationship between Post and Comment Model
In Post Model
class Post extends Model
{
    public function comments(){
        return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
    }
}

In Comment Model
class Comment extends Model
{
    public function post(){
        return $this->belongsTo(Post::class);
    }
}

Post Controller
public function show($id)
{
  $post= Post::find($id);
  return view('post.show')->with('post', $post);
}

Write in the blade file

{{$post->title}}

Description: {{$post->description}}

Comments

      @foreach ($post->comments as $comment)    //get all the comments related to this post

          User: {{$comment->user_name}}

          Comment: {{$comment->comment}}

Q: Calling fortran from numba with ctypes Consider this fortran module, in the file test.f90
module mymod
  use iso_c_binding, only: c_double
  implicit none
contains
  subroutine addstuff(a,b,c) bind(c,name='addstuff_wrap')
    real(c_double), intent(in) :: a, b
    real(c_double), intent(out) :: c
    c = a + b
  end subroutine
end module

Which can be compiled with gfortran test.f90 -shared -fPIC -o test.so . I can call it from python with
import ctypes as ct
mylib = ct.CDLL('test.so')
addstuff.argtypes = [ct.POINTER(ct.c_double), ct.POINTER(ct.c_double), ct.POINTER(ct.c_double)]
addstuff.restype = None

a = ct.c_double(1.0)
b = ct.c_double(2.0)
c = ct.c_double()

addstuff(ct.byref(a),ct.byref(b),ct.byref(c))
print(c.value)

This returns the right answer, 3.0. However, I want to call this from a numba jitted function
from numba import njit
@njit
def test(a, b):
    c = ct.c_double()
    addstuff(ct.byref(ct.c_double(a)), \
             ct.byref(ct.c_double(b)), \
             ct.byref(c))
    return c.value
test(1.0, 2.0)

But this doesn't work. It returns the error
TypingError: Failed in nopython mode pipeline (step: nopython frontend)
Unknown attribute 'c_double' of type Module(<module 'ctypes' from ...)

File "<ipython-input-14-f8fb94981395>", line 3:
def test(a, b):
    c = ct.c_double()
    ^

Does anyone know a work around? This is annoying because numba does claim it supports c_double types.

A: Here is the solution:
import ctypes as ct
from numba import njit

mylib = ct.CDLL('test.so')
addstuff.argtypes = [ct.c_void_p, ct.c_void_p, ct.c_void_p]
addstuff.restype = None

@njit
def test(a, b):
    aa = np.array(a,np.float64)
    bb = np.array(b,np.float64)
    c = np.array(0.0,np.float64)
    addstuff(aa.ctypes.data, \
             bb.ctypes.data, \
             c.ctypes.data)
    return c.item()

Umm, I will have that, but in Orange, please.
Can't teach athleticism, but he can't shoot a lick. That's kind of a requirement for a wing in modern basketball. Reminds me a bit of Hami.
He won the the Hardwood Events (Lawrence, Kansas) dunk contest last night with ease. Pardon the KU graphic.. this event happens to be there.
And James Harden sucked vs Cuse. Our program needs to be at the top of these highly ranked upstate kids that we would be so fortunate to pick and choose. Right now we are still not that fortunate.
I agree, but i would want to sign a shooter to be next to him. It's hard to score once you get past high school without a jumper.
You can learn how to shoot--or at least improve your shot.

Working for the 'Free' Market: state complicity in routine corporate harm in the United Kingdom
Tombs, Steve (2013). Working for the 'Free' Market: state complicity in routine corporate harm in the United Kingdom. Revista Crítica Penal y Poder(5) pp. 291–313.
URL: http://revistes.ub.edu/index.php/CriticaPenalPoder...
This paper documents two forms of harms which are not 'dramatic', in fact, each is very low level, and each represents an instance of routine, normalized forms of harm which emanate from the business sector, and in the production of which the state is complicit. The focus specifically here is, in the first substantial section of the paper, on the economic harms produced by the retail sector of the UK financial services industry and, in the second, on the level and scale of airborne pollution in the UK from a range of business sources. While they are very different, they in fact have a lot in common, and tell us a lot about business and state practices. The remainder of the paper considers these state practices at length: despite misunderstandings and claims that governments are withdrawing from free markets, what one finds is a torrent of state intervention designed to create conditions of non-interventionism. It is no mere bystander to these harms, but intimately complicit in them through, variously, deregulation, reregulation and non-enforcement of law... Such state practices are documented in the third part of the paper, which focuses on what is termed regulatory re-shaping by central Governments in the UK since 1997. The results of such state activity may render such harms more likely, even more normalized. In conclusion, the paper considers briefly the relationship between rendering such harms visible and effective resistance to them.

Genesis chapter 6 tells us, "There were giants in the earth in those days, and afterwards". This one little verse says quite a lot. What does God mean when he said there were "giants" here on Earth? We have already seen how the pre-Flood world gave the ideal conditions for long life and huge growth, which we also know from the dinosaur, plant, insect and other fossils. But what about humans? We know the lived very long by the genealogies of Genesis (e.g. Adam lived 930 years). Would they, too, continue to grow very large?
Ron Wyatt, on one of his first trips to the Ark site, discovered Noah's house and the grave of his wife, Mrs. Noah. He claims the sarcophagus was 18 feet tall. Now when we hear this, we think it to be incredulous. But is it really? What would we expect a 900 year old person to look like, who lived in a much better environment than ours? Would we expect them to be exactly like us, or different? I would certainly expect them to be different. And the Bible says "there were giants in those days". So according to our best and most reliable source - the Bible - we should expect them to have been very large indeed (the Bible never exagerates).
So what does the fossil record show? Well this is where things get interesting. Giant ancient humans would fly in the face of evolution. It would show that we have actually devolved, not evolved. Since the 1800's, there have been many written accounts of giant human fossils having been found. Additionally, very large tools have been found, which only very large people could have used.
There are a few photos of giant skeletons out there on the Web, but I am rather cautious about displaying any such photos not knowing if they were photoshop creations. But there are few that appear to be genuine. Of course, the 'believability' for a Bible literalist is a somewhat less daunting proposition: We know these giants have existed. In fact, since we know the world was amply populated with these creatures before the flood, we should be asking why all this evidence you're about to read of hasn't been made common knowledge.
This photo of a 'fossilized Irish giant' was taken at a London rail depot, and appeared in the December 1895 issue of Strand Magazine. The giant was allegedly dug up by a Mr Dyer while prospecting for iron ore in County Antrim (Ireland).
It was 12 ft 2 in (3.71 m) tall, weighed 2 tonnes, and had 6 toes on its right foot. After being exhibited in Dublin, it was brought to England and exhibited in Liverpool and Manchester at sixpence a head, 'attracting scientific men as well as gaping sightseers'. After a legal dispute over ownership, nothing more appears to have been heard or seen of the exhibit.
These remains were discovered by Saudi oil industry technicians. He or she stood between 15 and 20 feet tall. The weathering on it is consistent with the technician's description that the skull was originally found partially uncovered by the winds. You can read the background details about the photo here.
On the left is a photo of a human thumb bone, called the Proxima Phalanx and which is the joint below the joint containing the thumbnail. Note that the size of this particular phalanx bone is at least twice the length of the gentleman's holding the fossil.
An x-ray of a typical man's hand and the position of the bone in question is shown on the right. Just to make sure that we are clear, the bone joint in the photo is the middle joint of the thumb only. You can do your own math as to the possible size of the owner of the fossil thumb in life.
2) the Smithsonian Institute, National Geographic, the Discovery Channel (et al) and any of the 'officially sanctioned' archaeological expedition teams...between the whole lot of them...have supposedly not been able to cough up one single solitary bone fragment, fossil, or artifact that would evidence these Nephilim.
Well-known zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson (a frequent guest on Johnny Carson's TONIGHT SHOW in the 1960s--usually with exotic animals) reported that in 1944 (during World War II), an army engineer with whom he corresponded told of how his crew had been bulldozing through sedimentary rock when it stumbled upon what appeared to be a graveyard. In it were crania that measured from 22 to 24 inches from base to crown nearly three times as large as an adult human skull.
Had the humans to which these skulls belonged been properly proportioned, they undoubtedly would have been at least 12 feet tall or taller. He delivered the evidence to the Smithsonian Institute....where it was never heard nor seen again. Sanderson was quite puzzled by this and later wrote: "...is it that these people cannot face rewriting all the textbooks?".
There are reports regarding the Smithsonian Institute receiving extraordinary artifacts and evidence of this nature from dutiful citizens who thought they were handing over their findings to the highest and most reliable authorities...only to realize later that Smithsonian had made it all 'disappear'. Hollywood has even made a veiled (snickering?) reference to this bizarre trend: Recall the famous Smithsonian warehouse scene at the end of the Indiana Jones movie.
Warehouse scene from the movie "Indiana Jones"
From the biblical perspective isn't it a rather simple matter to figure out what is going on here?-- Lucifer is all about 'deception' and he can ill afford to have all this confirmation of the veracity of ancient Bible stories. The difficulty factor in arguing against the Bible's credibility would take a quantum leap if there were museums full of Nephilim fossils and artifacts all around the world. We wouldn't expect the Devil - the Great Deceiver - to want us to know about any giant human fossils. Just like he has managed to keep the other great Bible discoveries from the world, we would expect the same with this. No, the devil has gotten everyone to believe in evolution (the great delusion). One of the things I hope we have all realized from this website is the relative ease with which the "powers that be" can successfully keep major facts from the general public. The information in page serves as one example of the Devil's ability to accomplish globe-spanning deception and cover-ups.

excavated from a mound near Brewersville, Indiana (Indianapolis News, Nov 10, 1975).
measured 8 1/2 feet tall and appeared to have been wrapped in a gum-covered fabric similiar to the Egyptian manner. The second skeleton was almost 10 feet long. (Review - Miner, June 19, 1931).
A 7 foot 7 inch skeleton was reported to have been found on the Friedman ranch, near Lovelock, Nevada, in 1939.(Review - Miner, Sept. 29, 1939) In 1965, a skeleton measuring 8 feet 9 inches was found buried under a rock ledge along the Holly Creek in east-central Kentucky.
There was a race or group of people found in Australia called "meganthropus" by anthropologists. These people were of very large size--estimated between 7 to 12 feet tall, depending on what source you read. These people were found with mega tool artifacts, so their humaness is difficult to question. Four jaw fragments and thousands of teeth have been found in China of "gigantopithecus blacki"--named after the discover. Based on the size of the teeth and deep jaws, its size has been estimated at around 10 feet and as tall as 12 feet, 1200 pounds.
In old river gravels near Bathurst, NSW, huge stone artifacts -- clubs, pounders, adzes, chisels, knives and hand axes -- all of tremendous weight, lie scattered over a wide area. These weigh anything from 8, 10, 15, to 21 and 25 pounds, implements which only men of tremendous proportions could possibly have made and used. Estimates for the actual size of these men range from 10 to 12 feet tall and over, weighing from 500 to 600 lbs. A fossicker searching the Winburndale River north of Bathurst discovered a large quartzitised fossil human molar tooth, far too big for any normal modern man. A similar find was made near Dubbo, N.S.W.
Prospectors working in the Bathurst district in the 1930's frequently reported coming across numerous large human footprints fossilised in shoals of red jasper.
A set of 3 huge footprints was discovered near Mulgoa, south of Penrith, N.S.W. These prints, each measuring 2 ft long and 7 inches across the toes, are 6 ft. apart, indicating the stride of the 12 ft. giant who left them. These prints were preserved by volcanic lava and ash flows which "occurred millions of years" before man is supposed to have appeared on the Australian continent (if one is to believe the evolutionary theory): Noel Reeves found monstrous footprints near Kempsey, N.S.W. in sandstone beds on the Upper Macleay River. One print shows toe 4 inches (10cm) long and the total toe-span is 10 inches (25cm) - suggesting that the owner of the print may have been 17 feet tall.
surrounded by giant weapons, and the skull featured a double row of teeth. Yet another giant was unearthed in 1891, when workmen in Crittenden, Arizona excavated a huge stone coffin that had evidently once held the body of a man 12 feet tall. A carving on the granite case indicated that he had six toes.
convinced that anatomically they had indeed once belonged to a human being, and a very modern-looking one.
14. In 1931, skeletons from 8 � to 10 feet long were found in the Humbolt lake bed in California.
Kossuth: October was a month of some excitement in scientific circles as seven strange and gigantic mummies were discovered just outside of Kossuth Center. Marvin Rainwater, a local farmer, had been digging a new well on his property and struck a deposit of very hard stone about nine feet below the topsoil. In attempting to dig it out, he found that it was more than four feet wide in every direction. Removing it would be a terrific chore. He considered the possibility that this was a layer of bedrock, but that would certainly be odd that close to the surface. Further, being somewhat familiar with geologic deposits, he knew that the stone was not the familiar limestone for which such Eastern Iowa areas like Stone City are famous. This was something else entirely. Upon close inspection Rainwater also saw that the stone was not as rough as might be expected in a natural formation, but was in fact smooth and polished. Now very curious as to the nature of the find, he called several friends from surrounding farms and they began an excavation. They discovered that it was not a single stone, but rather one of at least several irregularly cut slabs stretching out over a wide area, yet fitted so tightly together that not even a knife blade could be put between them. Each slab measured roughly 8'x10', and when struck with a sledge seemed to ring with a hollowness that might indicate this was not a floor but the outside portion of a ceiling. Rainwater wondered if he had not stumbled upon some sort of buried stone structure on his property. Believing that there might be a way to parlay living other than farming if he played his cards right, Mr. Rainwater contacted Georg Von Podebrad College, who in turn dispatched a team of archeologists, anthropologists, and geologists to the site. The researchers were delighted with the anomalies presented them. Firstly, the stone was not at all native to Iowa, but was in fact basalt-a hard, dense volcanic rock composed of plagioclase, augite, and magnetite. The type of stone used by the Egyptians to build their massive monuments. The depth of the slabs indicated that they had been there for a very long time, predating the advent of the kind of modern transportation and heavy machinery needed to bring such a large quantity of foreign stone to Iowa, and quite probably the slabs had been laid down before the last glacial age.
It is impossible to gauge with any certainty just how long they had been there. After the soil covering the slabs had been entirely removed, the area covered by the stones was a perfect square measuring 188 feet on each side. Digging around the perimeter revealed that Rainwater had been correct, the structure did go deeper into the ground. The cyclopean structure was revealed to be a pyramid similar in shape to one located at Marietta, Ohio, although those mounds and monuments erected by the prehistoric Indians were made of sun dried brick mixed with rushes. This technique, too, is curiously similar to the Egyptian technique of brick making with straw and mud. It took many months, but the entire structure was finally exposed, and on the eastern side was found a massive filled in archway with strong resemblance to those of ancient Greece. At the bottom of the arch was a smaller arch, measuring only 6' to the capstone. This too had been filled in and blocked off. With genuine awe and some hesitancy the scientists of the Rainwater Site began the work of opening the smaller entryway, wondering what light from the first torch penetrated the gloom of the ancient structure, Albert Grosslockner gasped at what he thought were seven huge and exquisitely detailed statues seated in a ring around a very large and deep fire pit. Moving closer, he realized that the figures were not carved of stone, but were in fact the mummified remains of some giant humanoid race.
Could what they found be in fact a prehistoric burial vault for some pre-human creatures or was it a prison designed to hold some freakish aberration of nature? The figures, were each fully ten feet tall even when measured seated in their cross-legged positions. They all faced into the circle with arms folded across their legs. Upon close examination it was seen that they had double rows of teeth in their upper and lower jaws. The foreheads were unusually low and sloping, with exceedingly prominent brows. The skin of the mysterious giants was wrinkled and tough, as though tanned, and the hair of each of them was distinctly red in color. Their faces, still very expressive even in death, taunted the scientists with their silence. Who, or what, were these creatures, how had they come to be locked in this stone room, and where had the stone itself come from originally? After careful excavation of the site, the bodies were removed for x-ray and autopsy examination. The excitement over the find was far in excess of the "Gypsum Man" find in Iowa so many years before-a hoax from which the Putnam Museum of Davenport had never fully recovered from. These giants were very real. The medical examinations demonstrated that there was definite skeletal structure, that they were organic creatures who had once been very much alive.
In fact, the habit of flattening the skull of an infant and forcing it to grow in an elongated shape was a practice used by ancient Peruvians, the Mayas, and the Flathead Indians of Montana. Sanderson tried to gather further proof, eventually receiving a letter from another member of the unit who confirmed the report. The letters both indicated that the Smithsonian Institution had collected the remains, yet nothing else was heard. Sanderson seemed convinced that the Smithsonian Institution had received the bizarre relics, but wondered why they would not release the data. He asks, ""...is it that these people cannot face rewriting all the textbooks?""
In Lampec-Rancho California, in 1833, soldiers discovered a skeleton 11' 9'' long which was covered with boulders with an unidentified writing. A similar writing was unearthed on the isle of Santa Maria off the cost of Los Angeles. In July of 1887 in Eureka Nevada, a human leg was found measuring 38.9 inches form the knee to the heel. The man was over 11 foot tall. In Crittenton Arizona in 1891 a sarcophagus was uncovered containing a human 3 meters high and had 12 toes. More recently skeletons ranging from 2.8 meters to 3.12 meters were found by soviets in the Caucasus Mountains. In China skeletons 10 feet tall have been found. In the Philippines a giant human skeleton was found at gargation, Measuring 17 feet long. In the Eagle three Cole mine at Bear Creek Montana in 1920 two human molars were found three times larger than normal. In Braton Tennessee human footprints were found in solid rock 33 inches log and one foot wide. These also have six toes each.
These skeletons were positively human. Some of these skeletal remains are on Maui in lava caves near Ulupalakua and Olowalu. An example of this is the "mysterious" disappearance of more than 50 perfectly kept gigantic antediluvian skeletons (between 10-14 feet tall) found in a cave in Arizona.
Several mummified remains of red haired humans ranging from 2-2.5 metres (6.5 feet to over 8 feet) tall were dug up at Lovelock Cave, (70 miles) north-east of Reno, Nevada, by a guano mining operation. These bones substantiated legends by the local Piute Indians regarding giants which they called Si-Te-Cahs. For some reason scientists did not seem to want to investigate these finds further so many of the bones were lost. Fortunately one of the giant Lovelock skulls is still preserved today. It measures almost 30cm (1 foot) tall and resides along with other various Lovelock artifacts in the Humboldt Museum in Winnemucca, Nevada. Some of these artifacts can also be found in the Nevada State Historical Society's museum at Reno.
According to a press clipping, dated Nayarit, Mexico, May 14, 1926, Capts. D. W. Page and F. W. Devalda discovered the bones of a race of giants who averaged over ten feet in height. Local legends state that they came from Ecuador. Nothing more has been heard of this, but that is not surprising; the word "giant" will flutter the feathers of any scientist into rapid flight, metaphorically speaking, in the opposite direction. So also with a report from the Washington Post, June 22, 1925, and the New York Herald-Tribune, June 21, 1925. A mining party, it is reported, found skeletons measuring 10 to 12 feet, with feet 18 to 20 inches long, near Sisoguiche, Mexico. The Los Angeles Times, October 2, 1927, says that explorers in Mexico located large human bones near Tapextla, indicating a race of "gigantic size." All this, if unfounded, would be straining coincidence or imagination pretty far.
