Velars are consonants articulated with the back part of the tongue (the dorsum) against the soft palate (the back part of the roof of the mouth, known also as the velum).
English ng in ring is a velar nasal (SAMPA [N]).
Palatalised velars (like English [k] in keen or cube) are sometimes referred to as palatovelars. Many languages also have labiovelar phonemes, including the approximant [w] and others given symbols like [kw] etc. In these the articulation is accompanied by rounding of the lips.

Ask the Author: Jon Lasser
We recently caught up with Jon Lasser about his new book Grow Happy. This is part of a series on Social Emotional Learning from Magination Press.
• What is Grow Happy about?
Grow Happy is a picture book for an early childhood audience that teaches kids how to cultivate their own happiness. Growing a garden serves as a metaphor for growing happiness, and the book is based on the idea that we can make good choices and no matter what life presents us. Part of the message in the book is that we have opportunities for joy. A lot of kids come from disadvantaged backgrounds and have all kinds of setbacks in their lives, and the book addresses feelings and choices. This book that emerges from positive psychology, encouraging kids to do is to be reflective, to think before acting, to take the perspective of others. These are social emotional learning skills. So, we're sneaking in a little dose of SEL in a picture book
• Who is the target audience?
Well if you looked at the back of the book, it would say ages 4 to 8, but we know 4 to 8- year-olds don't buy books. So, we're thinking about parents, teachers, school counselors and school psychologists, grandparents—anyone who has an interest in positive development for children is going to have an interest in this. After reading it to hundreds of kids at bookstores and libraries I found it has wide appeal.
• What inspired you to write this book?
Well, I'm a gardener and I'm a psychologist. So those two go hand-in-hand and I've been mindful about what makes me happy. When it comes down to it, it's social support, interacting with people that I love, spending time outside with them—the little things—planting a seed and watching it sprout. Of course, in any garden there are setbacks: we have pests and frost and drought. We have to know how to overcome those problems and then maintain sort of a healthy balance. So that was really the inspiration: experiences from my own life and my daughter's as well. My co-author of this book is my youngest daughter. She is turning 21 this year. She's a psychology major, so a lot of inspiration is drawn from her experiences too.
• How can reading teachers benefit from this book?
I'm no reading expert. I'm a school psychologist, so I have a foot in psychology and education. When this book was written, my daughter and I were conscientious of the fact that for young children you need short sentences and short words, so that was very deliberate. But we also put some bigger words in there, too. So There's an opportunity for vocabulary building. A little bit of struggle, if it's not too taxing, can be helpful as well. The protagonist in Grow Happy, Kiko, talks about some frustrating situations. Frustrating is a big word but children are like sponges. They can acquire big vocabularies. Think about how a five-year-old can name more dinosaurs than you and I can combined. They're just taking in all of that knowledge, and a reading teacher would have the opportunity to take a child who is an emerging reader and let them have the experience of reading this with some fluency, but also some time to break down a word like frustrated, which may be frustrating. Teachers also understand that children identify with characters in books. There's a lot of social activity going on among children in Grow Happy. The books are full of positive social interactions: the brother is helpful, friends on the playground are kind, and parent-child interactions model social emotional learning. So, a reading teacher who's having behavior problems with kids may find this is a way to kill two birds with one stone: Have some literacy time but also build some social emotional development.
• Do school counselors use this book with certain students?
Yes, it's very popular with school counselors, especially those that are doing what they called "guidance lessons" where they might go into a classroom and say,
"Today we're going to talk about feelings. Kids what are some feelings that people have?"
And the children may have a limited range when they're young. They might say happy, sad, mad, that kind of thing. The counselor may then say, Okay, well today we're going to talk about happiness and ways that we can make ourselves happy, things that we can do to become happy. And then have a read-aloud. Bibliotherapy, working on kids' problems with the use of picture books, is something that school counselors do all the time. Part of the benefit of that approach is the distancing, especially if it's a problem that's uncomfortable to talk about. It may be too hard to talk about me, but I'm comfortable reading a book about another kid with this concern. Reading about it feels safer. In Grow Happy the main character has some problems in her garden and how to overcome them. She also talks about her own negative feelings and writes them down. Kids like this part a lot, and I often ask, what do you think she's writing? After reading this, they'll say, "She's writing in her journal or her diary about her feelings." Sometimes they'll say, "She's writing a book like the book you wrote this book." It's a very concrete experience with the author in the room.

Sharing Journeys of the Heart
9Jan 2018 9 Jan 2018
Teen Heart Transplant Patient Thanks UAB for New Future
UAB Medicine News
At just 18 years old, Megan Gagliardi was told that she might die from a rare genetic heart condition. Now, thanks in part to UAB Medicine's Comprehensive Transplant Institute (CTI), she is celebrating her recent engagement and an important six-year anniversary.
Gagliardi and her family moved from Memphis, Tenn., to Birmingham in 2010 during her senior year of high school. She says it was difficult moving to a school where she knew no one, and when she started experiencing health issues, she ignored them because she was focused on making it through the school year.
"I noticed I wasn't feeling myself. I would go to bed at night, and I just felt like there was a pressure in my chest. I had this constant cough that never went away, but it was the end of the school year so I just tried to push through," Gagliardi says. "After graduation, I told my mom how ill I felt. My mom decided she wanted to take me to the hospital so they ran a whole bunch of scans, test, and panels. They noticed there was a ton of fluid in my chest."
Gagliardi says UAB Medicine's Emergency Medicine care team wasn't sure what was causing the fluid buildup, so they gave her a diuretic.
"The next morning I woke up 15 pounds lighter. I had lost 15 pounds of fluid during the night. They did another scan, and that's when I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy," she says.
The news came as a surprise since she hadn't had heart issues prior to the diagnosis. But Gagliardi says she felt she was in good hands once she was put under the care of Salpy Pamboukian, MD, Jose Tallaj, MD, and James Kirklin, MD, at UAB Medicine's Heart and Vascular Clinic.
"I was 18 years old, and getting that kind of news was a big shock. I wasn't really sure what to think," Gagliardi says. "That day when I was at the hospital, they told me I would eventually need a heart transplant or I wouldn't make it. Again, to get that news at 18, that's just something that throws you into shock, and you worry. But I knew being at UAB Medicine, I would have great doctors to take care of me."
Gagliardi immediately was placed on the heart transplant waiting list, joining over 3,900 others in the United States. She says she didn't let the diagnosis keep her from living her life.
"I was diagnosed in June, and that August I decided to start college. I didn't really tell anyone that I had an issue. I didn't want anyone to look at me as the sick girl or the girl that had a heart issue, so I kind of kept that secret for a while," Gagliardi says. "Eventually I told my closest friends that I had heart issues. I told them I couldn't keep up or always take the stairs or do the same activities. That was tough."
Gagliardi says the support she received from her transplant coordinators Yen Dibble, Sabrina Kopf, and Dana Mitchell helped her overcome those social challenges. Then, the night before her 19th birthday, she received a call that would change her life forever.
"I received my heart transplant on my 19th birthday. It's the best birthday present I'll ever get!" Gagliardi says. "By the time I received the transplant, I just remember feeling so grateful. The night we went in for the transplant, my whole family was around me and praying. I remember everyone around me crying, and at the same time, I was thinking 'I'm so excited to be on the other side of this and to finally have my health back.'"
Gagliardi's transplant was a success, and her doctors expect that her heart will last 15-25 years before she may need another transplant. She says she is thankful to have a physical reminder of the transplant to reflect on each day.
"When I look in the mirror, my chest scar [from the transplant] represents to me my battle scar. It shows to everyone what I've been through and what I've achieved," she says. "I remember after the transplant, people would give me advice like 'You can put oil on that' or 'You can use a scar cream and fade it away.' I didn't want to do that. I love my scar, and I love showing people what I've been through. It's a huge part of me."
A Brighter Future
What does the future hold for Gagliardi? She hopes to help others going through the transplant process.
"What I would love to do in the future is become a motivational speaker. I've gone around to a couple of different events, and I've shared my story and testimony with others. I would love to stand as an inspiration to those going through a similar situation," she says.
It's now been six years since her transplant, and Gagliardi says she celebrates that anniversary every year. Soon, she'll be celebrating a different kind of anniversary; Gagliardi got engaged in September 2017. She says it was her care at UAB Medicine that is giving her this chance at a brighter future, and she couldn't be more grateful.
"I would say to my doctors and nurses that cared for me, thank you for all that you do," Gagliardi says. "I'm so thankful for the love you give and show your patients. You are the reason I'm here today. Thanks to UAB Medicine's Comprehensive Transplant Institute, I can really say that my future is exciting."

Beating Cancer, Too
A 2011 study funded by the NIH's National Cancer Institute found that organ transplant recipients have a higher risk of developing cancer than the general population. There are 32 different types of cancer that these recipients are prone to developing, including certain lymphomas. This is largely due to the immunosuppression medications patients must take to prevent their body from rejecting the transplanted organ.
Ten months after receiving her heart transplant, Megan Gagliardi began experiencing swollen lymph nodes, sluggishness, and fever. After seeing her doctors at UAB Medicine, she was diagnosed with diffuse large B Cell lymphoma, a type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells present in the body's immune system. Because her anti-rejection medications were lowering her immune system's ability to fight disease, she was more at risk to develop this cancer. Gagliardi was placed under the care of the UAB Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center's Amitkumar Mehta, MD, who decided to start her on chemotherapy immediately.
"They could tell from my scans that the cancer was in my neck and chest, and it was spreading," she says.
Gagliardi underwent six rounds of chemotherapy starting in January 2013. "Because my white blood cell count was at an all-time low and I couldn't risk being around sick people, I removed myself from a semester at Samford University," Gagliardi says. "That was a really tough time, especially since I had just gone through the heart transplant."
She says the side effects of chemotherapy were hard at such a young age.
"I went through what every cancer patient experiences: loss of hair, a puffy face from heavy steroids, and no energy. I received shots every few weeks to increase my white blood cell count, and those shots gave me bone pain. It was challenging," Gagliardi says. "But I had my faith and trust in my doctors, which helped get me through it."
Just two months after diagnosis, Gagliardi received great news.
"I finally hit remission around May 2013. My family and I were shocked and elated," she says. "We are so thankful for the care we received at UAB Medicine. Now I see my future as truly exciting!"

Q: Python sh library: How to get a shell? I am writing a Python3 script that uses the sh library (http://amoffat.github.io/sh/index.html#). I would like to get a shell inside a Docker container (actually a psql prompt, but I can't even get a shell, so let's go with the simpler case).
import sys
from sh import sudo

sudo = sudo.bake('-E') # XXX: Preserve environment

def process_output(char, stdin):
    sys.stdout.write(char.encode())

# XXX: Some commands expect a TTY STDIN
out_kwargs = {'_out': process_output, '_out_bufsize': 0, '_tty_in': True}

# Try to get a shell. -i is for interactive and -t enables a psuedo-tty.
# container_id is a valid Docker container ID
sudo.docker.exec('-i', '-t', container_id, '/bin/bash', **out_kwargs)

The bash prompt comes up, but when I type a command and press enter, nothing happens. So either no input is going to the shell's stdin, or I am not seeing resulting stdout. I think it's the former. Passing _in=sys=stdin seems to work for some "initial" stdin, like input piped in before the program runs.
How can I direct stdin to go to this shell?
Thanks.

What is Connecting Oxford?
What else is happening?
Zero Emission Zone
Workplace Parking Levy
Traffic Filters
Supporting Schemes
Buses & Rapid Transit
Walking & Cycling Routes
Consultation & Timing
Connecting Oxford imagines a different future
Connecting Oxford is a bold plan from Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford City Council to tackle congestion, pollution and the poor transport connections into and across some parts of Oxford, particularly the city's eastern arc.
Transforming how we travel in and around Oxford
The plan involves a number of different interventions which together will transform how we travel to and from the city.

Spider-Man 3 Why Andrew Garfield's Inclusion Was Nearly IMPOSSIBLE
Marvel's presently untitled Spider-Man three is shaping up to be a huge film, presenting everyone's favorite Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange, Jamie Foxx as Electro, and Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus. And if all that wasn't enough, it is additionally being pronounced that Andrew Garfield will reprise his function as Peter Parker from The Amazing Spider-Man.
While the Garfield information has but to be formally confirmed, it would imply that Spider-Man three will discover the multiverse, which is stuffed with alternate variations of Spider-Man. But as fantastic as this sounds, Garfield's return would have been not possible if a precise Easter egg had been covered in 2012's The Avengers.
The Amazing Spider-Man was once launched a few months after Marvel's record-breaking ensembled film, The Avengers. At the time, the film used to be intended to be the beginning of a new, rebooted franchise for Sony. Since this used to be lengthy earlier than Marvel and Sony would share the rights to Spider-Man on the huge screen, the universe of Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man was once standalone -- a separate entity from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, that really nearly wasn't the case due to the fact The Amazing Spider-Man ought to have been an extension of the MCU if an Easter egg had been protected in the film. In 2012, it used to be printed that having the Oscorp constructing from Garfield's movie be considered in the New York City skyline of The Avengers used to be considered. That finally did not come to fruition, though, due to the fact as soon as the graph of the Oscorp constructing used to be determined upon, the New York photographs of The Avengers had been already completed in time for the film's release. The timing wasn't proper and, as a result, The Avengers did not characteristic the Oscorp constructing Easter egg.
But if it had, then each video would have efficaciously taken vicinity in the equal universe. If The Amazing Spider-Man would have taken the region in the prolonged MCU, then the plans for Peter Parker may want to have been a whole lot different. If Tom Holland had then been forged in the role, Andrew Garfield would no longer have counted as an alternate Peter Parker from every other universe -- he would have been any other actor whose position was once recast, a great deal like Terrence Howard's James Rhodes or Edward Norton's Bruce Banner.
If Garfield's Peter Parker had already been in the MCU, then it would have been not possible for the actor to reprise the position as some other Spider-Man. In 2012, it appeared like an overlooked possibility to have the two Marvel motion pictures connect, however in 2020, followers can relax effortless understanding that this omission allowed for a cinematic multiverse -- a proper Spider-Verse.
Directed by means of Jon Watts, the presently untitled sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jamie Foxx, Alfred Molina, and Benedict Cumberbatch. The movie arrives in theaters on Dec. 17, 2021.

How To Say Goodbye is a new adult romance by author Amber Lin. This was my first time reading a book by Amber and personally I did enjoy her writing style as it was well conceived and the story was different from the cliche books we find in the adult romance genre. Even with her flawless writing I was unable to connect with the main characters, Amy and Dane because I found it difficult to believe that someone can grow up with barely being touched and that a man who has been living on the streets for so many years can still be so kind and caring. Amber, however has tried her best while writing this book and I commend her for trying to do something out of the box.
Amy has always been the model student who has received straight A's, but no one knows her secret that she has never been hugged and no one has ever held her hand.
One day on her way home from her internship she meets Dane, a blonde surfer boy who lives on the streets. She begins to feel this instant pull and attraction to Dane which she cannot explain. Dane believes he doesn't deserve Amy because of his past that haunts him. These two make their way towards each other while fighting their demons that are holding them back.


Marty Moore's season is over, Ulster have confirmed today.
The province also said winger Jacob Stockdale "sustained a hamstring injury" in the Edinburgh victory and he will be monitored on an ongoing basis.
Moore's season KO will be a blow for Ulster with the Pro14 playoffs looming and the injury list stacking up.
Utility back Will Addison is also going to miss the season's run-in, after undergoing back surgery.
Rory Best has missed the last two fixtures - also with an ankle ligament injury - which he suffered in the Champions Cup defeat to Leinster.


Training camps can be as brutal as they are exhilarating. Here's how to stay strong and keep improving when you're putting in serious saddle time.
Whether you're counting down to a bike vacation or a serious cycling training camp, riding at any level of intensity over a long period of time can be tough—no matter how much fun you're having. Get through your heavy-riding program with flair by following these tips from a crew of elite junior racers who finished up a 500-mile training block in six days.
If you're on a tour through a beautiful part of the world or digging into a high-intensity camp, it's important to practice good hygiene. Your immune system will already be compromised from the long hours, so taking precautions to avoid health problems is key. This means washing your hands frequently, only drinking water you know is from a safe source, cleaning out your water bottles, and taking care of things like sunburn and road rash to avoid any chance of infection.
You'll be riding long hours, but after your rides, you may find yourself with a lot of spare time to fill. It might be tempting, especially on the first couple days, to cram in extra activities and workouts, but solid rest is very important—and by rest, that doesn't mean filling spare time with calls to the office.
"I would not make it through a big training block without Netflix," says Graydon Staples, another Centurion Next Wave team member. "Once I finish a big ride, I like to go back to my room and take it easy while watching whatever there is on Netflix." For some people that would sound ideal, but for others, chilling out is a chore. Just think of it as part two of your workout: recovery.
"The best advice I could give to a rider putting in a big block is the vast use of chamois cream, something to prevent chaffing," says Matt Staples. All of the juniors at the camp echoed his sentiment. Chamois cream helps fight friction in the saddle and can help prevent saddle sores. If it's applied too late, the cream can still alleviate some of the discomfort.
"My best advice for someone who is going to put in a big training block is to really make sure you're being honest with how you're feeling," says Team Progressive member Liam Mulcahy. Not only will some days feel harder on your body, there will be days that take a toll on your mind and emotions, as well. A few flats, a crash in your group, or being the slowest one up the hill can be disheartening, but it happens to everyone."
"Expect ups and downs during the ride but remember, be excited that you're able to go out and ride your bike in the first place," says Erica Leonard of Norco & Garneau.

St. Joseph Parish was established in May 1992 to serve the growing population of Catholic families in the City of Vacaville. The parish encompasses the portion of the city and surrounding area that lies south of Interstate 80. When the parish was established there were 600 families. It shares a site with Notre Dame Parochial School on Marshall Road.
In 1996, a Parish Center was constructed. The first Mass celebrated in the new Center was on Christmas Eve, 1996. The Center contains a large multi-purpose room that was used for weekend Masses and a chapel that was used for weekday Mass. The Parish offices were located on the side of the building. During the week, the multi-purpose room was used for Notre Dame's sports activities.
Sunday, December 12, 2004 was a historic day in the spiritual life of our Church. On that day, his Excellency, Bishop William Weigand, Bishop of the Diocese of Sacramento, dedicated our new home.
Our family has grown since 1992 when it began with less than 500 families in the beginning, to over 2,000 families in the year 2013. It is our prayer that everyone coming to our parish will experience the welcoming arms of Jesus in a through the members of the St. Joseph family.

She is still a head-turner midway into her sixth decade.
And no doubt many people would not even believe Geena Davis if she told them she was actually 56.
The glamorous Thelma and Louise actress looked typically striking as she arrived at an airport in Los Angeles today.
She doesn't look a day over 40: Geena Davis looked stunning when she arrived at a Los Angeles airport today

The prolific actress has let her career take something of a backseat since the unmitigated disaster of 1996 bomb Cutthroat Island, which helped put the final nail in the coffin of Carolco Pictures.
She turned her interest to archery instead, and just two years later almost made it into the US Olympic team.

'When you're trying to compete at that level the amount of practice and everything you have to do is insane. But I do think about it.
'I love to watch the archery, and it's been real fun that these movies have been coming out with female characters shooting arrows.
'So that's been pretty exciting, actually. People say "Oh is that because of you?" and I'm like, "Huh, yeah, yeah, it's all cause of me."'
And the Fly star said she may even take up the sport again, telling Desert News: 'I do think I had a knack for it because I only took it up two and a half years before I qualified for the semifinals.
'I took it up at 41. Who knew? It's clearly not an age-dependent sport.
'But, yeah, I'll always feel like I'll wonder how far I could go with it. It was fun to try it and I may do it again, who knows? I'll see if I get the time again.'

On the Evolution of Cuteness
Darwin silliness has reached a new low. A grad student is working on a paper about how evolution makes people watch cat videos.
The only logical response to the story you are about to hear is to shake your head. A guy at the University of Oslo will probably get a PhD by giving Darwin credit for human attraction to cute animal videos on the internet. He must have been hard at work gathering his data.
Evolution is the reason you want to watch internet cat videos (University of Oslo). Notice that the guy doesn't say evolution is "a contributing factor" to wanting to watch cute animal videos. It is "the" reason. "Being distracted by cute animals is one of the most important characteristics of being human today, argues media researcher" Andreas Ervik, grinning in his 15-minutes-of-fame photo in the article. In fact, it is "all because of evolution." Whew. Oh boy.
In evolutionary biology, important keywords are Charles Darwin, natural selection and survival of the fittest. The idea is that weaker species, genes or humans are overcome by the stronger. However, when Ervik looks closer at how we spend our time on the internet, he sees a completely different development.
"Play, stupidity, cuteness and humour are four factors that are at least as important to evolution as the idea of survival of the fittest."
Dear descendants of Holocaust victims and communist purges, we are so sorry. How tragic that your loved ones, whose pictures maybe sit on your mantle, whose memoirs tell of the tortures they endured, were victims of rulers who didn't understand Darwinism. Think of the happy lives they could have had, the joyful cultures they could have participated in, if Stalin and Mao and Hitler had only understood that nature is all about the survival of the cutest.
In his thesis, he relates the development of these four factors to similar societal processes outside the internet – also in the animal and plant kingdoms. For mammals, including humans, being cute has played an important role in evolution.
"Cuteness has evolved along with a focus on care and a type of behaviour that is non-aggressive and empathetic. In that sense, cuteness has been crucial for humans when it comes to sociability and being able to take care of offspring in the way that we do and for as long as we do. We also transfer this to other species."
It's obvious where Ervik has been spending his time. He's been goofing off watching cat videos, then trying to sanctify his lack of self-control by offering it as a sacrifice to King Charlie. That was so easy; he just needed to parrot memes he has been hearing all through school about how Darwinism, the Stuff Happens Law, is the skeleton key to quick-and-easy scientific explanation in biology.
If that were the only example of Darwin silliness, it would be bad enough. Readers of CEH know that more are always plopping out of the secular-media drainpipe.
Study finds a manly beard may help drive sales (Phys.Org). This conclusion might be true; many men like their beards, and many women appreciate them, too. They often do present an air of confidence and experience, not in all cases, but often, as long as they are well groomed. But what's Charlie got to do with it?
While past research has focused on the benefit of beards in attracting potential mates (cue bearded Bumble profiles) and in the interview process, the researchers believe these studies are the first examination of the beard's effect in sales and service contexts. This effect is rooted in evolutionary psychology, which is one of many biologically informed approaches to the study of human behavior.
"Beards may go in and out of style in terms of their ability to increase physical attractiveness, but from an evolutionary perspective, they consistently serve as a cue to others about one's masculinity, maturity, resources, competence, leadership and status," Mittal said. "In sum, the ability to grow a healthy beard inherently signals 'immuno-competence,' and this has downstream effects on the way a bearded individual is evaluated in many facets of life."
This is odd, since some studies have concluded that facial hair is full of germs. What's evolution got to do with it, though? Why must everything be put into an "evolutionary perspective" instead of just a perspective? More sloppy science has been offered as a sacrifice to the Bearded Buddha.
Remember that "evolutionary psychology" has been a laughingstock to many scientists, including evolutionists (6 June 2008). That's because it can explain anything and everything, therefore nothing. It can explain the gaudy peacock's tail by the myth of "sexual selection" just as well as it can explain why all ravens are black (both male and female).
Presumably biological science will have to toss the previous explanation that beards evolved to cushion men's jaws from fist punches (1 June 2020). The researchers could have measured if sales go up twice as high if the customer punches out the bearded salesman and he survives. "Praise Darwin!" the customers would exclaim. "I'll buy two!" They should have also done a controlled experiment by putting fake beards on saleswomen, or shaving off half of the beard on the men and seeing which side customers preferred looking at. Good grief. Did they run other controls, by judging reactions by beard color or length? Remember, terrorist al-Baghdadi was notably hirsute. That wouldn't make him a great salesman. Successful clean-shaven salesmen should be miffed at this careless research.
This silly study was published in the Journal of Business Research with the dumb-pun title, "It grows on you: Perceptions of sales/service personnel with facial hair." It shows that Darwinism has even infected the business world. Is it not possible to just appreciate the differences between men and women without feeling obligated to put an evolutionary spin on everything? Evolution adds nothing to the article, except perhaps entertainment. The entertainment value is highest when one realizes the Darwinists are serious.
The rhythm of change: What a drum-beat experiment reveals about cultural evolution (Phys.org, Science X Staff). While smart readers are feeling entertained with silly evolution stories, let's try one more: the evolution of drum beats. Darwinists at the Santa Fe Institute played childish games with 120 people, asking them to play "telephone" by repeating a rhythm down the line with a drum set. What this proves about evolution is anybody's guess. They presented their cocky views about "the evolution of rhythm" to the Royal Society – and the veritable institution that used to demand nullius in verba (nothing by authority) published it anyway. Anything honoring Darwin always gets a pass. It's surprising they didn't make a cat video of Tom playing the tom toms, to help out Andrea Ervik's doctoral research.
"This was a proof of concept experiment to show that with different environments, different cultural patterns would emerge," says Miton. "What's important is that we showed that you can parse out ecological and psychological factors."
She says she hopes this simple drum-and-telephone experiment will inspire new ways to tease out the many influences on cultural evolution in the future.
There you have it again: the real reason Darwinism is so popular among lazy scientists. It guarantees job security for storytellers.
This is why science needs debate. Such stupid ideas wouldn't make it past a single PhD creationist or theistic philosopher without a severe episode of scolding and shaming. The police would arrest the suspects for impersonating a scientist (16 July 2014).
Two trending memes in academia this millennium have been "diversity and inclusion. There is, however, absolutely NO diversity of thought or inclusion of Darwin skeptics within King Charlie's totalitarian realm. Unless you wear the D-Merit Badge with Darwin's bearded face on it, you don't get into the Insiders' Club where all the research and publishing decisions are made. Unless you worship at the Darwin idol and make a sacrifice, you are booted out and condemned as a pseudoscientist.
Don't let that bother you. Once Humpty Darwin falls, you will be lauded as a prescient visionary and futurist who ignored the looney tunes all along, focusing the cracking sounds in the wall instead. Do you want the praise of men before the wall falls, or after?
Humpty Darwin sits on a wall of foam bricks held together by decayed mortar. Cartoon by Brett Miller commissioned for CEH. All rights reserved.

July 1, 2019 | By Space for Giants In Latest News, Press Releases
PRESS RELEASE: Space for Giants announces new conservation investment initiatives for Gabon, Zimbabwe
Gabon holds enormous promise for nature-based tourism
Summit closes with new conservation tourism investment initiatives for Gabon and Zimbabwe, following Uganda's $60m pilot
Space for Giants supports African Wildlife Foundation and World Bank on Zimbabwe process
Gabon plans Conservation Investment Forum for early 2020
Process targets responsible tourism operators to unlock national park value
VICTORIA FALLS, Zimbabwe – Space for Giants today announced two new Conservation Investment Initiatives for west and southern Africa based on its Uganda pilot that is on course to unlock $60m of business investment in less than two years.
The new initiatives were announced at the close of the African Union and UN Environment Africa Wildlife Economy Summit in Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, attended by the presidents of Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia, and Namibia, and ministerial delegations from at least 12 African countries.
Space for Giants will support the African Wildlife Foundation and the World Bank on the process in Zimbabwe, guided by the Conservation Investment Toolkit Space for Giants launched at the same Summit a day earlier.
That Toolkit guides African governments to attract responsible tourism businesses to invest in protected areas under transparent contracts designed to increase socio-economic development while also bringing new money to fund conservation.
It is based on Space for Giants' ongoing conservation investment process in Uganda, that is in course to bring in more than $60m of new capital investment by leading responsible tourism operators in five national parks.
"We're very proud that between Space for Giants, the World Bank and African Wildlife Foundation, we've been requested by the Government of Zimbabwe through the Ministry of Environment, to carry out a similar process in Zimbabwe," said Alistair Pole, AWF's Senior Director for East and Southern Africa.
"We'll be starting as soon as possible, aiming to bring the right kind of investment into Zimbabwe, into the tourism space but also into public-private partnerships and public-private-community partnerships as well."
Both processes are expected to launch officially with Conservation Investment Forums during 2020, the Summit's 450 delegates heard. That will be after significant work to scope investment sites and streamline business processes.
Unlike Zimbabwe, where there is a long-established tourism industry, in Gabon international visitor numbers are low despite extraordinary natural assets including populations of forest elephants estimated at more than 50,000.
"The potential for nature-based tourism is huge in Gabon, but there's a time window which is not infinite and I think we've absolutely picked the right time to embark on this journey," said Noureddin Bongo, Space for Giants' representative in Gabon.
"Space for Giants can bring its experience from Uganda to start the same discussions between the private sector and government, so that investors feel secure enough to invest their money.
"In the end, with increased benefits from conservation, Gabon's people find their interests aligned with the government's and conservationists, while our rainforest is protected, our economy diversifies from oil and manganese, and we protect our elephants."
The Conservation Investment Initiative is designed to bring new private capital to conservation areas so they can earn African governments significantly increased revenue, while also providing jobs, buying from local suppliers, and protecting ecosystems.
"We strongly believe that the right type of nature-based tourism done in the right areas in a sustainable fashion is a powerful conservation tool," said Oliver Poole, Executive Director of Space for Giants' Giants Club.
"That's because it creates jobs for the local community, and it brings visitors to the national parks, creating money for wildlife services, that often have limited budgets. But it also starts building a nature-based tourism sector that pays taxes and builds economies, making them of national importance and therefore more likely to be protected."

An eye for value and an aim to provide generosity in sharply defined flavours sits at the core of Blackbilly wines. Since its inception in 2001, Blackbilly has produced consistent results through its discerning selection of high quality fruit while maintaining modest prices. To get the desired results, Blackbilly sources fruit from across the Adelaide region for crisp white wines, and to Langhorne Creek, Currency Creek and the old vineyards of McLaren Vale for rich, distinctive reds.
As no strangers to the wine industry, in 2004 Trevor & Marilyn Harch jumped at the opportunity to embrace their passion for wine and purchased an established vineyard in Eden Valley (nestled nicely between Henschke and Yalumba). The property, a working vineyard for over a century, was then producing grapes that went into Yalumba's premium reds.
Trevor, with good friend and talented winemaker Shawn Kalleske (of Laughing Jack Wines), both knew they were onto a good thing and began hand-crafting boutique wines from what are some of the oldest Riesling vines in Australia, planted in 1896 and the established 87 year old Shiraz vines. The vineyard is named after their four grandchildren, Bronte, Mackenzie, Charli and Jack…the life and soul of this special place.
The Cester mark is the combination of three families that share a rich history and passion for winemaking on the families' vineyards in Nervesa Della Battaglia, in the region of Treviso, Italy.
In 1989 the family set aside four hectares on their Lucindale farm for vines. After much consideration of microclimate, average sunlight hours, water supply and soil testing, the first two hectares of Pinot Noir and two hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon were planted. As a result of its initial success, the family gradually developed the vineyard to its 126 hectares with the final planting in 1998. The varieties planted now encompass Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
In 1998, the family decided it was time to produce their own bottled wines from the family's vineyards and to market these wines throughout the world. Initially, the wines were produced at a nearby winery by a contract winemaker. Then in March 2002, though a stroke of fortune, the family became proud owners of the second oldest winery in the world famous Coonawarra district.
Julian is a multi-award winner and in 1994 was named in the top 12 winemakers in Australia.
Tasmanian Cool Climate Craftsmanship Winemaker, Julian Alcorso, is recognised as one of the pioneers of modern-day Tasmanian winemaking, from the family vineyard, Moorilla Estate in 1978 to Tamar Ridge Wines in 1998. The Frenchman's Cap Wine range is unmistakably Tasmanian to the core, capturing the essence of this amazing island.
The Jarvis Estate vineyard is located on Wirring Road in the sub-region of Bramley. Conveniently located halfway between the Townships of Margaret River and Cowaramup, Jarvis Estate truly is in the heart of the Margaret River wine region.
The estate is also just 8 kilometres inland from the Indian Ocean. It is this close proximity to the ocean and its two seasonal currents that stabilise the temperatures, creating a warm climate with cool nights, slowing ripening period. The Mediterranean climate with cool winters and a slow ripening season enhances the fruit driven flavours in all our wines. In addition to great weather conditions, Jarvis Estate is situated on some good dirt. The topsoils on the property are mungnite loams with clay on gravel sub soils.
It is said that great wine is made in the vineyard and it is this philosophy that Matt & Jackie Jarvis strongly adhere to when producing their award winning Margaret River wines.
Little Goat Creek is a real place in the heart of Marlborough's grape growing region of New Zealand. The creek flows from the Richmond Ranges into the Wairau River, this water in turn feeds the fertile land that produces Marlborough's famous grapes. Ideal conditions preserve purity and freshness in the wines which are packed with flavour and show great expression of variety.
The Hill Smith name is synonymous with Australian winemaking, dating back to 1849 when Samuel Smith first planted vines at Yalumba in the Barossa Valley. Today, Mark's Vineyard in Woodside represents seven generations of continuous family winemaking. As one of Australia's leading Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc producers, Matthew Hill Smith's expertise becomes supremely evident after the first sip of his lovingly produced vintages.
Most recently, he released his own oakless Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc: two exciting and individual wines made using fruit grown in the high-altitude cool climate of his 23-year-old vines in the Adelaide Hills.
'It's all about the vineyard and how you manage it," he explains. 'Mine has a good mixture of the best international clones and vine age, and is one hundred per cent hand-picked and hand-pruned. As a result, the grapes are not bruised or damaged in the picking process and every grape experiences a long, slow, cool ripening period to create intense and high-quality flavours. I am proud to say I work on a farm – not in a factory."
..Pinot Grigio has been grown in Trentino since the end of the nineteenth century..
Principato Pinot Grigio has become extremely popular with consumers worldwide over the last few decades, also due to the fact that it is being used to produce high quality wines. Pinot Grigio is grown throughout the north-east of Italy and has found a second home here in Trentino.
Rosnay was created by the Statham family in 1997, and produces certified organic wines, olives, and figs. Certified organic since 1998, the vines and orchards have never been sprayed with harmful chemicals, a family commitment that began with Richard's father Clive Statham. The family's wine growing heritage begins on the other side of the family, with Florence Statham's french grandfather, Alberic Dulong de Rosnay, after whom the farm is named.
The family's commitment to organics culminated in the winning of the inaugural Organic Pioneers Award in 2012, through the NSW Department of Primary Industries. Its commitment to making good wine has led to the winning of the Greg Johnson Trophy for Best Local Red Wine at the Cowra National Wine Show, in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the NASAA Winestate Organic 'Wine of the Year' in 2016 with their Garage No1 Cowra Cabernet Sauvignon 2014.
Just 50 minutes from Melbourne and first stop off the Peninsula Link freeway at Moorooduc you'll find Stumpy Gully Vineyard.
Wyebrook Estate is a small vineyard on the edge of town in Blenheim, in the renowned wine region of Marlborough, New Zealand owned and managed by long-time Marlburians and winegrowers, Steve and Steph Fisher.
We grow the world-famous Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is classic Marlborough Sauvignon with outstanding intensity and a rich fruit-driven mid palate.
In the same way fantastic food comes from simple, fresh ingredients, Wyebrook's philosophy is to grow fresh beautiful wine, with minimal interference with nature - both in the vineyard and the winery.

La Resolució 194 de l'Assemblea General de les Nacions Unides fou adoptada l'11 de desembre de 1948, cap al final de la Guerra araboisraeliana de 1948. La resolució defineix els principis per a assolir el final dels assentaments i el retorn dels refugiats palestins a les seves llars. El text constatà i garantí que «els refugiats que vulguin tornar a les seves llars i viure en pau amb el seu veïnat han de ser permesos a fer-ho quan abans sigui possible, i que s'ha de pagar la compensació per la propietat d'aquells que trien no tornar així com per la pèrdua o dany de la propietat que, sota els principis de dret i d'equitat internacional, han de ser complertes pels Governs o les autoritats responsables» (article 11).

La resolució també demanda l'establiment de la Comissió de Conciliació de les Nacions Unides per a facilitar la pau entre Israel i els Estats àrabs, continuant els esforços del mediador de Nacions Unides Folke Bernadotte, després del seu assassinat.

Dels 58 membres de les Nacions Unides d'aquell temps, la resolució fou adoptada per una majoria de 35 estats, amb 15 votant en contra i 8 abstenint-se. Significativament, la totalitat dels sis Estats de la Lliga Àrab representats aleshores a Nacions Unides - Egipte, Iraq, Líban, Aràbia Saudita, Síria i Iemen, tots els quals formaven part del conflicte en qüestió – votaren en contra la resolució. L'altre grup significatiu que votà en contra foren els estats del bloc socialista: RSS Bielorússia, Txecoslovàquia, Polònia, RSS Ucraïna, la Unió Soviètica i Iugoslàvia, tots els quals ja reconegueren a Israel com un Estat de iure. Per la seva banda, Israel en aquell temps no era membre de les Nacions Unides, tot i que manifestà la seva objecció a molts dels articles de la resolució. En canvi, el poble palestí ni tan sols fou consultat.

La resolució, especialment l'article 11, ha estat citada a la Resolució 302 de l'Assemblea General de les Nacions Unides establint l'Agència de les Nacions Unides per als Refugiats de Palestina al Pròxim Orient (UNRWA) i altres resolucions de l'ONU. També ha estat invocada en suport a les reclamacions del dret de retorn dels palestins, reclamacions que han estat refusades pels diferents governs israelians.

Contingut
La resolució consta de 15 articles:

Interpretació i recepció internacional
Molts dels articles de la resolució no foren complerts des del moment que Israel se n'oposà, els Estats àrabs els rebutjaren, i foren enterbolits pel conflicte continuat de la guerra de 1948 fins l'armistici de 1949 entre Israel i Jordània.

L'11 de maig de 1949, la Resolució 273 de l'ONU admeté a Israel a les Nacions Unides "prenent nota de les declaracions i les explicacions fetes pel representant del Govern d'Israel" en relació a la implementació de les resolucions 194 i 181, a les que Israel no es cometé a cap acció específica o esquema temporal. Des de llavors, Israel ha refusat qualsevol resolució que reclamés el dret dels palestins a tornar a Israel. Des del moment que les resolucions de l'Assemblea General no són vinculants, i només serveixen com a recomanacions declaratives, no hi pot haver cap obligació o execució de la Resolució 194.

Article 11.- Refugiats

Des de finals de la dècada de 1960, l'article 11 ha estat cada cop més citat com a base jurídica en el dret de retorn dels refugiats palestins. Des de la seva aprovació, l'Assemblea General de l'ONU ha reafirmat cada any la resolució 194. Les múltiples resolucions subsegüents de Nacions Unides han reafirmat el dret al retorn, incloent la Resolució 237 de Consell de Seguretat (1967) i la Resolució 169 de l'Assemblea General (1980).

L'escriptor Joshua Muravchik qüestionà aquesta lectura, assenyalant que el text estableix que els refugiats "haurien de ser permesos" a tornar a les seves llars "quan abans sigui possible" i que aquesta recomanació només és d'aplicació a aquells "desitjant a... viure en pau amb els seus veïnat".

Israel no ha ofert la readmissió de cap refugiat. L'única excepció fou el 12 de maig de 1949 a la Conferència de Lausana, on el Govern israelià i els delegats àrabs acceptaren un Protocol Conjunt, en el que Israel oferí la repatriació de 100.000 refugiats a canvi d'un tractat de pau integral amb els Estats àrabs i per l'annexió de tots els territoris capturats fins als Acords d'armistici araboisraelians de 1949. El número incloïa a 50.000 refugiats que ja havien trobat la forma de tornar a les seves llars en mans d'Israel. L'oferta fou ràpidament retirada pel Primer Ministre israelià David Ben-Gurion.

The Hype Train officially announces Hype Train Football Club
It is with great pleasure that The Hype Train announces the birth of its latest expansion, the unveiling of a project close to our hearts for two years, Hype Train Football Club. The beautiful game is at the heart of our website's wide array of content and now we have taken a big leap forward, coming from beyond our virtual pages and in to the real world of grassroots football. All aboard.
From Pages to the Pitch: Hype Train FC
Formed in March 2015, The Hype Train was born out of the love of Fantasy sports by Robert Austin, twin brother Sam Austin and Phil Jones. We pride ourselves on feature written articles and producing well-designed info-graphics to aid football enthusiasts around the world.
4 years and 840 articles later, with 25 thousand tweets across our social channels published, 7,000 images personally designed and shared, and over 1 million unique visitors to our website in that time, our blue and gold brand has reached the phones and computers of visitors from around the globe.
Our analytical reporting and countless hours on Adobe Photoshop saw The Hype Train nominated and shortlisted for the 'Best Football Blog' in 2016 by the Football Bloggers Association at their annual Football Blogging Awards (The FBA's), and were again shortlisted as a finalist in 2019 in the 'Best Fantasy Football Blog' category.
For 4 years our website has primarily operated as a Fantasy Football website covering Fantasy Premier League and MLS Fantasy, and today at 7pm (GMT) on Saturday 15th June 2019, The Hype Train's Co-Founder, Robert Austin, finally announced the club's formation, becoming the first fantasy football website to take to the field.
HTFC is a socially active grassroots team across social and web channels, providing regular match highlights, match reports, comprehensive player statistics and unique player profiles that will show off our own players from a Fantasy football perspective.
Hype Train Football Club: Information ahead of the 2019/20 Season
Hype Train FC is based in Reading, England and was formed by The Hype Train's Co-Founder's, Robert Austin (Club Secretary), Sam Austin (Club Chairman) and Phil Jones (Club Treasurer). Making up our young 5-person management team is Rod Stevens (Sporting Director) and Alex O'Keeffe (Club Captain).
HTFC is a grassroots Saturday team that were recently granted entry into the East Berkshire Football League (EBFL) at their AGM on Thursday 13th June 2019. We will play our first competitive league match on Saturday 31st August 2019 in Division 2 (third-tier) of a 28-team league structure.
The squad will be holding closed training sessions at JMA Academy in Reading, though if you would like to be involved in any capacity, you can contact our team by email - contact@thehypetrain.co.uk.
In addition to the league, we have a fully functional website based right here at TheHypeTrain.co.uk, with everything the team and any followers will need to know for the upcoming season, including; a comprehensive team schedule, player statistics, contact information; social media links, latest articles and updates, match reports and video highlights.
We have also partnered with Kitlocker to create our own personalised Club Store, which is now live. Anyone can now get themselves kitted out with our match kits and training wear ahead of our debut season.
We have some very exciting news regarding sponsors a little down the line, so please stay tuned for future updates.
*Logo designed by Robert Austin and presented to the EBFL as a means to advance their league's appeal.
HTFC Insight from General Secretary, Robert Austin:
When our small 3-person team originally started out way back in 2014, when we didn't have a name for our website, or know what we wanted to do. We only wanted to have a name that was different in the sphere of the wider Fantasy Football Community online, so The Hype Train was born out of a sheer necessity to offer articles and a social media presence that couldn't be matches or copied in its design.
This website has developed my skills on a computer, advanced my design skills, and have helped make friends from across the world. We knew we wanted to start a football team, but it was only a pipe-dream. A Fantasy, more so than our weekly topics within Fantasy Premier League tailored articles.
We have been planning Hype Train FC for several years now and have built every foundation from the ground up, with our site's graphical evolution eventually shaping everything from the design of our Nike kits to our club crest and website.
I have been very fortunate to meet the right people along the way too. Rod Stevens has been instrumental in player recruitment for the past six months, whilst my club captain, Alex O'Keffee, has been nothing but supportive and encouraging as we transitioned out of our previous Saturday team, Woodley United.
The players in my team don't quite understand yet how good this journey will be. I want my players to express themselves the best they can, and we are offering everything from top of the range kits, to video highlights, and personalised pages. For me, it was integral, that as a Fantasy Football website, we incorporated some features in, so it was a must that we tracked our players statistics, provide bonus points after every game and have a points system based on the Fantasy Premier League game.
This is just the beginning for us, and if you're reading this as somebody who would like to get involved at any level with the club, I would love to speak to you about all things Hype Train.
Thoughts from Club Chairman, Sam Austin:
It cannot be understated how much work and effort has gone in to starting this club, and the levels of dedication Rob has put in to making Hype Train FC a reality.
I truly believe that our website offers a unique and highly-detailed fantasy football reporting. We are perfectionists at everything we want to do, and this ambitious football team will follow the same values that myself, Rob and Phil and believed in from day one.
We never wanted to make a normal football team and we believe that Hype Train FC, much like our website, has a global appeal. We can't wait to start sharing videos and photos from our training sessions and matches, and to engage with football people from the local area, and across the world too.
Thoughts from Sporting Director, Rod Stevens:
So for me, Hype Train FC is a dream come true. The team all came about last season during December 2018 (where Rob and Rod played together for Woodley United in the Thames Valley Premier League), standing still in a training session in -4 cold. I recall the moment I turned to Rob, miserable and needing a new challenge, and said we need to do something. We can't go on like this.
After managing Woodley United B team 2 seasons' ago, everything going so well being top of the league and reaching a cup final, mid-way through the season it started to become a fight with having drop down players from teams above taking the place of my players and having to give 90 minutes of game time when they had never trained with us. It was hard to take and helped to slow my team's promotion push. We finished mid table and runners up in the final after players dropping down.
Then onto the new season (2018/19). Not much was said in pre-season. Training was changed to Woodford Park's 3G pitch and with 3 weeks until the season was due to start, we was told there was not enough players to make a B team, so the B team was no more and a select group all moved into the A team in the league above.
Most of us weren't wanted, rated or liked as players, even though we proved ourselves time and time again, game after game, win after win. It all started again. Players began to drop down. We started to just win games, hang on for draws and even lose games.... Personally, I was dropped 4 times and we lost 3 of those games, all being in a title-chasing season that we ultimately lost.
Training was cold, boring and we never took anything into the games on a Saturday that we had done on a Wednesday. When Rob approached me about The Hype Train starting a team, it was clear that we had a shared direction of where we wanted to take the club, and to learn from previous mistakes at old clubs.
I am massively buzzing to be starting a new chapter in my football life doing things the right way and having fun while winning! Bring on the season and the first game on August 31st. A big thank you to the EBFL for allowing us to play in their league. We want all belts.


(uncountable) Interference is something, especially an action, that makes it difficult to achieve a goal.
The police were unable to arrest him because of government interference.
The manager should let his workers make these decisions without any interference at all.

Ainu is supposedly a polysynthetic language, but displays a large number of characteristics that, at least when compared with the prototypical North American polysynthetic language, don't really line up in my opinion.
(1) a-un-kor-e-∅ ka somo ∅-∅-ki1 ruwe ∅-∅-ne wa.
I think there is one strong line of evidence for this being zero derivation of a verb to a noun, and one weaker one. The stronger of the two is the fact that this cannot be a relative clause, and the weaker is the non-occurrence of the complementizer hi.
Relative clauses in Ainu are modifier-head in their order. We have a verb, aunkore 'we weren't given any', a potential relative clause but not a head and a particle ka 'even', along with the preceding verb, also a potential relative clause but not a head. Note that the adverb somo 'not' this negates the following verb (here, ki 'to do'), so clearly, we have no potential heads for aunkore ka to be a relative clause that is the object of ki.
(2) He said that I fell.
(3) He said I fell.
Both are perfectly grammatical. In Ainu, however, we do not find this variation. I was unable to locate any examples of the complementizer hi followed by even the lexical verb ki 'to do'. So while it could be the case that we just lack a complementizer here, I think instead we are dealing with zero derivation.
1. As an aside, ki here functions as a light verb. I'm not entirely sure if in this capacity it is still transitive, but I have glossed it as such. Clearly, in its function as the lexical verb 'to do', we have good evidence that ki is indeed a transitive verb.
For instance, it takes transitive agreement markers (Izutsu 2003, a corpus of Asahikawa dialect Ainu, has examples of both an-∅-ki |INDF.A-3.O-do| and ci-∅-ki |1PL.A-3.O-do|, and no examples of *ki-an |do-INDF.S| or *ki-as |do-1PL.S|, and can be antipassivized (cf. i-ki-an |APASS-do-INDF.S|, also many examples in Izutsu 2003). But to the best of my knowledge, and certainly in Izutsu 2003's corpus of Asahikawa Ainu, no distinction is made between the light verb ki and the lexical verb ki, so I'm just not sure.
Izutsu, Katsunobu. 2003. Ainugo Asahikawa Hōgen Kōpasu ni Motozuku Bunpōsho Hensan no Tame no Kiso Kenkyū [Basic Research for Compiling a Grammar Based on a Corpus of Asahikawa Dialect Ainu]. Asahikawa: Hokkaidō Kyōiku Daigaku Asahikawa-kō.
Next Post What's an "Ll" between friends?
I think your argument about Ainu's differences from the prototypical "polysynthetic" languages is an interesting one and I'm still digesting it. But I'm not sure that this is a good example of (productive) zero derivation specifically, because "(ka) somo ki" is a fixed pattern for negating verbs. I don't have Nakagawa/Nakamoto handy but I do have Nakagawa's more recent "New Express Ainu-go" and in chapter 4 (pp34-37) this pattern is explicitly addressed. The example in the dialogue is "ku=nuye ka somo ki" ("I didn't carve it") and the explanation explicitly calls this is equivalent to "somo ku=nuye".
So I'm not sure if "ki" can do the work you are asking it to do here — although it might be evidence for productive zero derivation in the past, surviving as a fossilized way of forming negatives in the language today.

Why I No Longer Support Amnesty International
Posted on March 20, 2013 by gavin Human Rights Libya Politics Propaganda Syria
I've finally overcome my inertia and canceled the £5 monthly donation that I have been making to Amnesty International for the last 30 years or so. Twenty years ago I was an active AI supporter, more recently it has just been the donation. As Syrian Girl says, AI supports NATO's wars; I do not.
The last two calls I've had from Amnesty asking for increased support highlighted abuses in Iran and China; I've never had a call about abuses in Saudi Arabia or Israel or any ally of the NATO countries.
My concern about Amnesty began with their support for military intervention in Libya and the disinformation that they spread about Gaddfi using black mercenaries against his own people. Amnesty later admitted that this information was false but it led to the murder of black civilians.
According to Wikipedia Amnesty has 'form' for spreading rumours like this, as in the lead up to the 1991 Gulf War:
Critics have also pointed out that AI had a role propagating disinformation in a press release before the 1991 Gulf War, in which it claimed that Iraqi soldiers were responsible for the deaths of "scores of civilians, including newborn babies, who died as a direct result of their forced removal from life-support machines."[13] It later transpired that this claim was a propaganda hoax, and AI's press release was used in the opening salvo of this propaganda campaign – U.S. President George H. W. Bush showed AI's press release on a prime time interview. Prof. Francis Boyle, an AI USA director at the time, gives a detailed insider account of the way the AI press release was handled.[14] The normal process of double-checking and consultation was short-circuited in a rush to issue the press release. In an April 1991 statement, AI said that although its team was shown alleged mass graves of babies, it was not established how they had died and the team found no reliable evidence that Iraqi forces had caused the deaths of babies by removing them or ordering their removal from incubators.[15]
The same Wikipedia article indicates that AI continues to spread rumours relating to the Syrian conflict:
In September 2011, Amnesty International reported that anti-Assad protestor Zainab al-Hosni's body, mutilated by pro-Assad forces, was "discovered by chance by her family in a morgue in Homs while there to identify her brother's corpse." In October 2011, Hosni allegedly appeared on Syrian TV stating that the accusations of her killing were false and fabricated by anti-Assad protestors to "serve foreign interests" and that she was "alive in contrast to what the lying satellite television stations had said." According to a report in Reuters, anti-Assad activists say she is a look-alike.[62]
This is not to say that AI does not do some good work, it must in order to maintain any credibility, but the evidence suggests that it is either allied to NATO and its aims or else it is irresponsible and incompetent in its pronouncements about abuses by states.

The Elimination of the Middle Class


"Then Saul attacked the Amalekites all the way from Havilah to Shur, near the eastern border of Egypt.
the best of the sheep and cattle, the fat calves and lambs—everything that was good. These they were unwilling to destroy completely, but everything that was despised and weak they totally destroyed.
he cried out to the Lord all that night."
In fulfillment of the Lord's plan and promise to punish the Amalekites for attacking Moses and the Israelites as they left Egypt God tells Samuel to commission Saul for the total destruction of the Amalekites. Since Israel is a covenant partner with the Lord, they have to treat the enemies of the Lord as enemies of themselves, just as the Lord treats the enemies of Israel as his enemies.
Saul obeys Samuel and the Lord by moving his troops into the wilderness area of northwest Sinai near the border with Egypt. The command is for complete annihilation of the Amalekites, in the Hebrew hrm, which is the complete giving over of things or people to the Lord, often for total destruction.
But, when Saul attacked out the command from the Lord and his prophet his efforts were only half-hearted, because Saul began to spare and keep "everything that was good." Saul is leading all of the Israelite troops to commit the sin that Achan did at Jericho when he took the bars of gold and the Babylonian garment from the plunder that was to be hrm by Joshua and his troops. Achan's sin brought judgment on Israel and ultimately led to Achan being stoned.
God spoke to Samuel of his regret for having made Saul the king because Saul turned away from the Lord's will to fulfill his own will. In his anger Samuel prayed to the Lord through out the night before he went to meet Saul and reject him as the king of Israel.
"In this manner heretics either wrest plain and simple words to any sense they choose by their conjectures, or else they violently resolve by a literal interpretation words which imply a conditional sense and are incapable of a simple solution, as in this passage."
Matthew 27:46; John 1:23; Acts 2:6 and Revelation 1:15.

Lost in lace
Millar, Lesley (2011) Lost in lace. [Curation, Exhibition/show, Textiles]
882:3614
Millar, Lesley
Lost in Lace (exhibition and catalogue, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Oct. 2011–Feb. 2012) was the outcome of a three-year research project, extending my earlier inquiry for Textural Space (exhibition and catalogue, 2001). The project explores and develops the dialogue between contemporary cross-discipline approaches to lace, and current discourse concerning the divisions of space within the built environment – the role of the boundary/border in urban design (Sennett 2011; Lambertucci 2010). The research was placed within the context of Japanese notions of Ma and Hashi and the writings of Tschumi (1990), Rendell (2006), Ishigami (2010), Bachelard (1968) and Riley (1995).
Within the UK, interest in lace as a vehicle for both art and design innovation is in the early stages (Bartlett, University College London 2005, Caruso St.John/Nottingham Contemporary 2009). Outside the UK there have been initiatives using the tradition and history of lace as a means of challenging and subverting preconceptions around function and use (Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting, USA, 2007, Kantlijnen, Belgium, 2008, Lace in Translation, USA, 2009, Love Lace, Australia, 2011). Lost in Lace brings together Eastern and Western understandings of the articulation of space, building upon the rich tradition of the relationship between lace and architecture. It aims to provide new insights into the ways in which we configure and negotiate the thresholds and boundaries we encounter as we move through space.
The research investigates the material processes of making through interviews with artists, architects and relevant others. The exhibition and publication expanded the themes and ideas identified during the research through a series of architectonic installations developed in discussion between myself as curator, and each of the international cohort of exhibitors. Funding was provided by the Crafts Council, Arts Council England, Esmée Fairbairn, Culture Ireland, Embassy of Brazil, Japan Foundation, and Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.

About Amanda Morris Johnson
Artist Amanda Morris Johnson has been writing poetry since she was a child. She received a B.A. from the University of Colorado in in Creative Writing focused on poetry and then promptly moved to Hollywood to discover how to write screenplays. Working with respected literary agents, successful independent producers, and finally landing at Paramount Pictures, she wrote at the same time 7 speculative screenplays that managed to make the rounds there but fell short of selling, and everything from CD Rom Games to text books along the way. A little side road led to a successful sprint as a Publishing Consultant and Liaison in the world of STAR TREK, where she coordinated writers, and worked closely with publishers on the other side of the pond...in London and Paris... to create the largest, most in depth published reference of all things STAR TREK.
She's been teaching screenwriting in Boulder and Denver through adult education groups, and also has worked with clients privately since 2003. She was the co-founder of The Shoot Out Boulder in 2004. Since 2009 she has revisited poetry and is working on a book of poetry to go with her own designs of a Tarot Deck, called The Kosmic Egg (with a "K") as well as consulting on several film projects. She's also recovering from brain surgery, done in February, to remove a benign tumor from her left temporal lobe.
Amanda writes:-
"My mission as an Artist and Writer is to hold first and then crack open the shell of reason and logic so as to bring about life's metamorphosis. Kosmic Egg Projects expose our greatest risks and worries, dislodge disgrace so we can ground ourselves again, and embrace the love we cannot live without in this lifetime."
