The most awaited movie of the year 2015 which is released in more than 4000+ theaters in india and counting and by Moviemaxcinemas in US people are very eager and now we have the review of the most awaited movie Baahubali
As per the Jakanna Rajamouli director of the movie the story is
IT'S THE SIMPLE STORY OF A FATHER WHO HAS BEEN BACK-STABBED, A MOTHER WHO HAS BEEN ENCHAINED FOR NO WRONG OF HERS AND THE STORY OF A SON WHO TAKES REVENGE. THE TWO PARTS SPAN TWO GENERATIONS," EXPLAINED DIRECTOR SS RAJAMOULI
Director SS Rajamouli has done some remarkable things with this monumental film, which is the first of a two-part tale. One, he's made a film that actually gets better after intermission. Two, he's given us a new epic with Bahubali. Yes, the cast is dressed like characters in Amar Chitra Katha, but this isn't a reinterpretation of Mahabharata or a retelling of Ramayana. V. Vijayendra Prasad has written a whole new and original epic that doesn't borrow too obviously from our favourite Hindu epics. Here, we see (mostly) new gods and new heroes who are not bland replicas of mythological heroes.
Our hero is Shiva (Prabhas), a prince who is smuggled out of his kingdom and raised by a different tribe. He grows up not knowing his lineage, but acquires some serious rock-climbing skills. If his wooing techniques are any indication, lurking under his hulking physique is an aspiring tattoo and make-up artist. In the first half of Bahubali, we see Shiva scampering up a mighty waterfall and pursuing the feisty Avanthika (Tamannaah), who is part of a rebel group that lives in a hideout, high up in the mountains. She is possibly the worst assassin in the history of all time, given how she doesn't notice minor details like Shiva's bulked-up self lying on a branch above her, painting paisleys on her shoulder. Then again, you know what they say — love is blind.

Story:- Baahubali Bahubali Movie Review
Shivudu(Prabhas) is brought up by some native villagers. He grows up with special skills which turn out to be a mystery for every one. One fine day, he spots Avantika(Tamanna) and falls in love with her.
As time passes by, he comes to know that she and her group are trying hard to rescue the royal princes Devasena(Anushka) from the evil clutches of Bhalaladeva(Rana). Shivudu decides to help Avanitka and enters the Mahishmati Kingdom.
As soon as he lands there, he comes to know that he has a past associated with both Mahishmati and Bhalaladeva. What is that past ? What does Shivudu have to do with Mahishmati ? Who is Shivudu in real life. To know answers to these questions, you need to watch the film on the big screen.
Plus Points:- Baahubali Bahubali Movie Review
As you start watching Baahubali, one thing that hits you instantly is the scale of this magnum opus. The extravagant sets, spectacular visuals and the sheer magnitude has not been showcased in any india filim before. One cannot shy away to laud Rajamouli for thinking something this huge and also executing it on such a mammoth scale. The war sequences and the way they have been executed are in true Hollywood style.
Prabhas is terrific in a dual role and is the apt choice as Baahubali. No one except him could have done justice to the role which is larger than life and has many heroic moments. His sheer screen presence and emotional performance will be immensely loved by his fans. As expected, Rana is menacing as the baddie Bhalaladeva. This is a dream role for him and he gives a top notch performance as the bad guy. Baahubali Bahubali Movie Review
It is quite surprising to see the amount of detailing that has gone into every aspect of this film. What catches your attention right away are the terrific visual effects. There are certain scenes in the film which will just leave you spell bound. Tamanna is gorgeous as Avantika and plays her part well.
Ramya Krishna is elegant as Shivagami and brings a lot of depth to the film. Nasser and Satyaraj play their roles perfectly. Second half of the film has a lot of emotions which elevate the film to another level.
Minus Points:- Baahubali Bahubali Movie Review
The story line of Baahubali is quite routine and predictable. The actual film kick starts only during the second half and ends abruptly which might leave you a bit unhappy. Anushka has nothing much to do in the film as her character will be revealed only during the second part.
Certain war sequences have been dragged out and could have been trimmed to decrease the run time. There is so much hype surrounding the film that certain unwanted songs side tracks the film. The romance between Prabhas and Tamanna also looks exaggerated at times.
Technical Aspects:- Baahubali Bahubali Movie Review
Where do I start from in this section. Baahubali is by far the most technically brilliant film that has come out from Indian cinema. Each and every frame in the film is sheer magic. The sets, VFX work and graphics are just out of this world. One should be really proud to see such grand visuals especially in indian filim. Music is decent but the background music could have been better.
Next in line is the art direction. Sabu Cyril has done a marvelous job with the sets. Be it the palace sets, the kingdom surroundings or the warfare equipment, everything looks impressive. Senthil Kumar's camera work is mind blowing. His awesome visuals are nicely complimented by the stunning VFX. The water fall scenes and some shots during the fight sequence with Kaalakeya have been executed brilliantly.
The way Rajamouli has conceptualized the visuals will be a learning lesson for a generation of aspiring film makers. Even though Rajamouli's screenplay dips a bit here and there, his larger than life approach is what makes this film such a visual treat.
Verdict:- Baahubali Bahubali Movie Review
On the whole, Baahubali is one film which every Indian movie lover can be extremely proud off. Right from the word go, this visual extravaganza treats you to some never before seen elements in Indian films. Prabhas's stunning avatar as Baahubali, brilliant art work to some eye topping visuals effects, this film has it all. Genius director Rajamouli, should be lauded and supported for his dedication in taking Telugu Movies to the next level. Finally, if you ignore the predictable story line and keep your expectations in check, Baahubali is bound to entertain you big time.

Q: How does multi cpu system shares pci-express bus? For a modern single-cpu system things are transparent: there is multicore cpu, where cores are talking via uncore functions (like L3 cache, shared on-die memory controller). Uncore does also all the handling pci-e bus functions, providing access to GPU, network card or ssd for instance. I can read that a particular processor does support 40 pci-e lanes, for example.
But things go weird when I am trying to think of how does two separate processors could talk to a single gpu? How that is usually solved on multi-socket chipsets (Intel® C612 for example)? Can i use 80 pci-e lanes from both processors, to connect 80 gpus, so that every core from any of both chips can talk to every gpu?

We're here to shake it up.
In our opinion, the Church hasn't done the best job of connecting with people (particularly young people) lately. People scratch their heads at declining church numbers, but aren't as willing to consider that the church isn't scratching the itch of the people it's been called to reach.
Jesus went looking for people (Luke 19:10), and we're here to do the same. We've noticed that people spend A LOT of time online. So we're going to do the same thing.
RFX stands for REBELLION FOR CHRIST.
RFX Ministries is about reaching out to a generation that feels as though it's running out of reasons to follow Jesus. At times, we'll seem to rail against some of the traditions and constraints of organized religion. At times, we'll seem to run counter to the contemporary trends.
At ALL times, we'll be about Jesus.
We're here to shake it up.
We're not here to take the place of anybody's church. We work in tandem with other believers and organizations to accomplish kingdom business.

Amanda Weinstein:
As I continued along my life, interacting with more and more people, the more I interacted with Republicans and as the years went by, the more I did not see that what they were saying represented my viewpoints… My Christian values, my family values, moral values… I just see more of those values being shown better in the policies of the Democratic Party.
I'm Ken Harbaugh, and this is Burn the Boats, a podcast about big decisions.
My guest today is Amanda Weinstein, a professor of economics at the University of Akron, who studies the quality of life in suburban America. She's also the co-host of the podcast, The Suburban Women Problem. Amanda, welcome to Burn the Boats.
Ken, thanks for having me.
I got to say your podcast, The Suburban Women Problem, I know I'm probably not the target demo, but I love it. What gave you the idea?
Well, let me just say, we have a lot of fans that are not suburban women, so suburban, urban, rural, man, women, we will take any listeners that we can get. But so this was actually the thought, the idea of Red Wine & Blue, Katie Paris's group, who really saw a gap in people who were doing outreach specifically to suburban women, who maybe needed to feel more empowered. So what we saw recently with Mallory McMorrow I think, is showing that, women out there want to feel empowered and want to feel like someone is speaking to them. And that's really what we do with our podcast.
And Mallory McMorrow was the state rep or state senator in- remind me where and just give our listeners the nutshell.
Michigan. I know up north.
Michigan. And she had an epic rejoinder to some harassment that came her way. Right?
She did. She was called a groomer, which was really interesting for me at the time because my husband Casey, and actually I were also recently called groomers on Twitter and other places. And we were just like, "This is ridiculous. It's not believable. Even for people who don't like us, they know it's just not true." But you're kind of like, how do you respond to something so ridiculously untrue? And it was at that moment that we saw this piece of her doing exactly that, responding to something ridiculously untrue. She was accused of being a groomer and she did it in a fantastic way saying, "I am not a groomer. And let me tell you who I am." She's a Christian, she's a suburban mom. And she did it in such an empowering way of kind of really encouraging other suburban women, this is time for us to stand up and say, "This is not okay."
Well, that is a bit of your bio as well. And I'd love to get your story and your journey of how you wound up where you are today, given that you self describe as someone who grew up listening to Focus on the Family and very involved in your evangelical church, you experienced some turning points though, right?
Yeah, that's right. I grew up in the church. We typically went multiple times a week, went to Sunday school, went to main service. Actually I taught Sunday school for the little kids, Bible study. I grew up very involved in my church. And for me being very involved in my church also meant service. And so it meant doing something for my community, being part of my community in a way to me that served God or that higher power. And I grew up in a conservative evangelical family. And as I continued along my life, interacting with more and more people, the more I interacted with Republicans and as the years went by, the more I did not see that what they were saying represented my viewpoints. I honestly don't feel like I have changed that much in my viewpoints. I feel like the Republican party just does not represent any of my values. My Christian values, my family values, moral values, my values as an economist. I just see more of those values being shown better in the policies of the Democratic Party.
Is that cultural drift, just something the Republican Party has experienced or is evangelical Protestantism itself suffering from that same thing? We've explored this a little bit, trying to link the two and you've had experience with both.
Yeah. I think it's interesting because I do think it is both. I think it was, I might get this wrong, but it might have been the Reverend Billy Graham who a long time ago said basically, in a nutshell, "If you see politicians using the church, it's not going to go well, it's not good for the church and it's not good for government." And I think that is true. It's not good for either. When I think of separation of church and state, I think that that is important for our democracy, but I also think it's important for the church. And I think we have seen both the Republican Party and evangelicalism drift in a way that is not good for either of them.
Do you still consider yourself an evangelical christian?
I do. That's an odd place for me to be in, where… So part of evangelicalism is, the belief that I in my heart decide what I feel and think and believe and who I believe in and what I believe in. And my heart feels like it hasn't really changed that much, but I don't feel the church represents me. It's a weird place where I was brought up in a place where I still feel like I'm an evangelical, but when I hear a lot of evangelical pastors talk, I don't feel they represent what I believe. I don't really... I don't know. Yeah. I don't know how to think about that conflict.
How did that express itself at the Air Force Academy? Because I know there's been some controversy there about religious indoctrination and I say this as an Air Force brat and someone who had a father and a brother both go through the Air Force Academy. There's not a prejudice here, but there have been lawsuits, there have been changes of policy because of some of the things that non-Christians had to endure at the Air Force Academy.
That was interesting for me to watch. While I was there, we had a number of pretty well publicized scandals at the United States Air Force Academy. And actually one of the first that had probably the, one of the biggest impacts on me was actually Martha McSally, who's a Republican sued the Air Force because at the time they required women to wear abayas. And when she put the suit forward, I remember in my management class, we had to argue the merits of the suit. And I walked in there thinking this is obvious. Everyone is going to know that this is not right to force women to wear abayas, we've raised our hands and we've sworn to defend the constitution, and that constitution includes religious freedom. Of course, everyone's going to agree with me. This is, you can tell how naive I was. So when I was sitting there arguing, every male in that room said, "Of course we should force women to wear abayas." And I remember being so stunned that the people I was talking to would be so anti-democratic. And to me, it was anti-Christian because as a Christian, I shouldn't be forced to follow someone else's real religion. And I was just really taken aback by these Republican men who were arguing so hard to force women in the Air Force to wear these abayas. And sorry, go ahead.
For those uninitiated, just describe that. And what's required.
Yeah. At the time, when you deployed women would have to wear the... The abaya, is the full head dress, head covering and long black garb that a Muslim woman choose to wear, hopefully that you know, choose to wear. And I think for any woman that chooses to wear that, that's great, but to force it on a Christian woman who doesn't want to wear that, to me was just really shocking that our country would have a policy like that. That our military would have a policy like that. And I think that was for me a place where I really started to see, for people who claimed to be Republicans, it wasn't very Christian and it wasn't very democratic.
And so kind of follow on there, so eventually Martha McSally actually won her suit. So ha ha guys at the Air Force Academy, I was right. But we went along to have other scandals there with religion and a lot of senior leadership forcing their version of Christianity on everyone. And to me it felt no different than forcing an abaya on a woman. I don't want an abaya forced on me, but I also don't want to force Christianity on, at the time with my Jewish boyfriend. To me that seemed just as repulsive for the exact same reason. And I didn't understand at the time, why so many again, Christian men were okay with this. And so they've had a little bit of a reckoning with, this isn't okay. If we are sitting there and the main goal of our military and our Department of Defense is to support and defend our constitution. Our constitution is pretty clear about religious freedom and the separation of church and state.
That has achieved something like a truce at the Air Force Academy.
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
Partly because of the lawsuits, partly because of leadership changes. Do you hear from either current faculty or students about the state of affairs these days?
Occasionally. We will occasionally go back and we'll get to interact with some of the cadets there and see how it's going and hear from friends that are there. And I think it's gotten better. So even with the work of my father-in-law, at the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, just having someone there that he's this presence for them of like, "Man, if we screw this up, he's going to call us and we don't want that phone call." Just knowing that that phone call could happen, I think prevents quite a bit. And I think people know. So I think it's gotten better, but it's still an issue when you have folks on the family, just across the highway in Colorado Springs there, this is one of their goals is... And they've been pretty clear that one of their goals in a lot of these Christian organizations is to infiltrate the military and basically use the military as government paid missionaries.
That's fascinating because one of the other things we've really explored in some detail here is the aggressive recruitment of military folks and veterans by, I'll say non-religious extremists. You look at the penetration from groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys of military groups. And there's a reason that the military is targeted. There's a reason that vets are targeted for these disinformation campaigns. It's because they carry such cultural currency in our society.
They do. And I think, especially if you look at transitioning veterans, so some of my research actually looks at how veterans transition into the workforce. And that transition can be hard for a number of reasons, but I think it also leaves veterans a little bit vulnerable to finding something that they can belong to. And I think that that belonging can end up being something like the Proud Boys or other organizations, unfortunately.
Well, there are certainly alternatives. And we talk about those whenever we get the chance, like Team Rubicon, or Team Red, White and Blue, but we've come across this dilemma time and again. The veteran looking for that sense of purpose and meaning, and often the first group that gets to them, they get the first crack at what path that veteran is going to be set on.
Yeah. And I think a lot of veterans, as much as we say, we support our veterans and I do love this culture of at least saying that we support our veterans, no matter how we feel about the military engagement at the time, there's still stigma attached to veterans. I did research that showed that veterans actually out-earn non veterans, and that was actually not the bulk of the research, that was just the intro statement. And I often did not get past the intro statement with people because people were shocked when I told them that veterans on average out-earn non veterans. They just had no idea that as much as veterans are struggling, we tend to put that picture of a struggling veteran on all veterans. And it actually, I think can make veterans struggle more when we picture them all as these broken humans who are capable of less, but actually they're capable of more and they're highly skilled people.
Yeah. Well, there's definitely that archetype. You're an economist now studying the economics of suburbia and investments in suburbia. And it strikes me as just so fitting that you live in Hudson, Ohio, which I think defines suburbia. Before I start picking apart Hudson, do you want to give your version of what it's like living in a, I mean, kind of a Disney... Boy that's loaded these days, isn't it? I mean, it's a Disney version of suburban.
Disney is woke.
... the cupcake shop and everything. What's Hudson like?
That's true. A lot of people describe Hudson as a present day Mayberry, and it very much, a lot of days looks like it. You will see, we have in the summertime an ice cream social where my family, we will ride our bikes downtown, and we will go have ice cream with all the neighbors. And we have little get togethers in our downtown. We have little concerts and little picnics together. It is a great place to raise a family where we can walk downtown, enjoy dinner out on a picnic table, see everyone around town, talk, great schools, great place to raise a family.
That's the rose tinted version, but it has become something of a ground zero in the culture wars. And not by accident, I mean, there is a reason that you have communities like Hudson, which are relatively affluent, very educated, the definition of suburbia. And it is these places where the book ban wars are happening. It is these places where... And forgive me, I've got a list here. The mayor gives his ice shanty speech, the Memorial Day speech about the origins of that day and freed slaves honoring deceased union soldiers is cut off mid speech. We'll get to some of those in detail, but am I reading too much into the seeming coincidence of all these things happening in an idealized community, like Hudson?
Not at all, it is happening exactly in Hudson for a reason. And that reason is we've seen suburbia change. It has gone bluer and bluer kind of under the radar, I would say, of almost both parties. Hudson actually in our last election, we went for Biden. When Ohio got redder, we went for Biden. Sorry. You might hear my dogs.
Yeah. We're all dog people, so it's good.
Sit. Xander. That's Xander. He has some strong opinions about Hudson.
Hey, Xander.
Hudson actually went for Biden at a time when Ohio got redder, Hudson got bluer, and this was the first time Hudson had elected or voted to elect a democratic president in... Someone actually did it. It's been decades and decades. It's like the 1950s or something the last time. It's been like, nobody living in Hudson today has actually ever voted for a democratic president before I think who actually won Hudson. This I think was shocking to Hudson. Hudson is historically red. It is not a blue bubble that I am living in here by any means. And the fact that it went for Biden was a big change. And it was something that the people in Hudson, I think, could feel and maybe open their eyes to their town wasn't quite as red as they thought it was. And their town had been slowly changing, probably for decades. And it just, people didn't realize it or didn't know it. I think a lot of Democrats in Hudson just assumed that they were probably one of the few. Turns out, they're not one of the few. Every year there's more and more of us here. This suburb has been getting bluer.
Now it doesn't mean that people who are Republicans have gone away. They have now seen their town change. And we have people who live here who have connections to Trump, and to the Republican party all the way up. And Hudson is really their proving ground. What can we do? So the first time I heard critical race theory uttered was by people in Hudson. And so our podcast was one of the first podcasts, I think, to actually do an episode about it and talk about it, because we were talking about it in Hudson and we were starting to hear suburbs talk about it. Their strategy is very much to swing these suburbs back. And how they do it is by talking about critical race theory, accusing teachers of grooming kids, by having inclusive books in schools, book bans, this is all their strategy to win back the suburbs. And a lot of them are suburban women.
I take some reassurance from your description of the phenomenon, because one of the takes that you often hear is, the far right is ascendant. You are seeing these cultural conflicts because they've found their voice. They've figured out how to weaponize cultural issues and they're everywhere. But what I am hearing you say is that it is at the very least a reaction to a growing wave of democratic voters in suburbia, and perhaps even more optimistically the last dying gasp of a power structure that is realizing that if it doesn't pull out all the stops it is going to sacrifice that social hierarchy, that it sat at the top of for, well generations.
I think that's exactly right, that they are thinking, they had red Hudson forever. It was just, they took it as red. And so actually when my husband won his seat, my husband is currently in a gerrymandered State House seat for Ohio, gerrymandered for the Republicans. And he took it. And he took it in a year that again, that Ohio went redder and he still took this district. And so that also, he has been a big wake up call for this district, for Hudson, for the surrounding communities, that basically 'this is not as red as you think. You thought this was bright red and at one point it was bright red. It's not bright red anymore. This is now a competitive district.' And he's now won this district twice, which is just another sign that they thought they did a great job gerrymandering this district and not so great when the district changes.
Well, let's go ahead and name check Casey, because he has been on the show. Some listeners might remember him and it's not as if his path to victory was right down the middle, moderating his opinions and trying to appeal to just enough of everybody. Casey has been Casey the whole time is the co-sponsor of marijuana legalization legislation. I mean pretty darn progressive for what you're describing as a pretty red area.
That's right. If you look at the policies, when he first won that he talked about, he talked mainly about environmental issues. And he talked about things like our daughter having childhood asthma caused by poor air quality. And how, the way he talks about environmental quality is a way that means something to families. It's not just the environment for the sake of the environment, it's the environment for the sake of our kids, for our health, for our communities. He talks about any issue as progressive as it is, whether it's the environment, whether it's legalizing marijuana, and what it means for everyday Ohioans for real families. And that I think is how he connects to people in his district. And they have really been receptive to this message of yeah, you know, I can see it, that's not really great when our kids in northeast Ohio are having to make emergency room visits and having to go get inhalers. That's not great for this area. That's not great for attracting new families to come and raise their families here. When you think about legalizing marijuana. For that, he talks about his mom. His mom has MS. And so we're very in tune with the MS community. And for a lot of people suffering from MS, marijuana can really help them. It can help people who suffer from a variety of ailments, things that you might need to see the doctor for, but maybe things that you don't need to see the doctor for. And so he has really been a proponent of legalizing marijuana, even since he was on city council here in Hudson. And he was very open and honest about it.
The reaction though, among some Hudsonites, especially those on the fringe right to your outspokenness, to Casey's outspokenness has at times been beyond the pale. I mean the kind of thing that has had to involve the FBI. To the extent you're comfortable, can you describe some of that backlash and what you all have had to endure?
Yeah. That's also been a journey for me. I grew up going to an evangelical church. We had cops that directed traffic for our very large megachurch. So it started even before Casey was an elected official, I would go to synagogue with him and one day I said, "Man, your police officers aren't doing a very good job directing traffic." And he said, "What? They're not directing traffic. They're here for safety." And I just had no idea that's why police were at synagogues. I had only seen them direct traffic. And it just really made me stop and think that this is a different world I wasn't used to. And so that has been eyeopening for me even before he was an elected official. Now that he's an elected official, even just being Jewish, being who he is, he's had candidates who basically used this dog whistle of, I'm the Christian candidate.
And he has received anti-Semitic death threats. Some credible enough to where the FBI said it's credible. They actually went to the person's house who lived in Missouri. I don't know why the person in Missouri cared that much about a state rep in Ohio, but anyway, went to Missouri and basically said, "We know you've been sending these and you need to stop." And so he's basically had that all along, where we get infrequent death threats and things like that. And you just get used to it, which sounds terrible to say, but then it was actually on a caucus call with the Democrats where we assumed all the LA elected officials got the same thing Casey did. And Casey came back and talked to me, said, "They don't. A lot of them don't." So other elected officials have, Emilia Sykes has gotten some terrible threats, but for the most part, they're directed at minorities and they're directed for him because he is Jewish.
And that has also been eye opening to see that the pushback he gets is not because of his ideas so much or what he says, it's because he's a Jewish man saying them. And that's hard to take. We are in the synagogue every week, our kids identify as Jewish and also Christian, depending on how you ask them, sometimes they say I'm both Jesus and Jewish. And so they will be perceived in the world as Jewish people. And so it is hard as a mother to see how some people in the world react to him just because he's Jewish, knowing that they react to my children the same way, which is an awful feeling to think that anyone would treat your child differently just because of their religion. And so that's hard.
And so it went as far as we actually had a group of protestors. About 30 or 40 protesters show up to our house one day, snowy feet of snow out. I happened to look out front and start seeing a bunch of flags. Don't tread on me flags, kneel before the cross flags, American flags. And I just thought, man, this is interesting. I wonder where they're going. And then we kept looking and said, "Oh my gosh, they're coming to our house." Which was strange because in all of Ohio, I think Amy Acton, who has received a lot of death threats, was also Jewish while she was doing Department of Health stuff for Ohio. I know DeWine gets it at his house, but we have Amy Acton, Governor DeWine, and then Casey Weinstein, a state representative. It was strange seeing that our house was the one that they came to and protested. And our neighbor went out and talked to them. So the police recommended we didn't talk to them. And our neighbor just said, "Well, what are you doing here?" And they said, "Well, we just want him to do better." And she's like, "What's great. How can you do better?" And they said, "I don't know, let me get my leader." And it was just ridiculous. We were like, "You don't even know why you're here, the first rule of a protest." My co-host on our podcast loves to say like, "The first rule of a protest is have an ask. What do you want?" You should have an ask.. Like what do you- They didn't have an ask. They just simply didn't like him. How do you have a conversation with people like that? And that gets frustrating for me.
One thing that I do love about my husband being a politician is we love talking policy. We can talk policy all day, any day. I think it's interesting. I'm an economist. I love talking policy. I love talking policy with anyone. Left, middle, center, whatever, but how do I talk policy with someone like that? They don't have a policy they want, they just don't like him because he is Jewish. And that's where a lot of our conversation has gotten in politics. And I really struggle with that.
What do you make as an evangelical, as an Air Force Vet as a patriot with Jewish kids of the conflation of patriotism with this aggressive Christian evangelization, and you mentioned the American flag side by side with the kneel before the cross flags, has that always been there or it's just more on our faces now or is something happening?
It's been there since just kind of bubbling up even since when I was growing up in an evangelical church of... So Kristin Du Mez has a great book on this, Jesus and John Wayne. We kind of had this conversation when Donald Trump was elected, "Hey, they're voting against their own interests as Christians." And her book basically says, you haven't been watching Christianity, if you think they're voting against their interests. Because evangelical Christianity has been aligning with this very masculine, aggressive way of being a Christian. Identifying as the war fighter. And this has been the direction evangelical Christianity has been heading for a while. He's just a stop on this path that they're on. This is absolutely where it has been heading for a while. And I, as a Christian, as a veteran, as someone who swore to defend our constitution, to defend our nation, I hate it. I hate that those two things have come together like that. I believe very strongly in this country and feel very proud to have served my country. And my country stands for religious freedoms. It stands for the separation of church and state, it stands for a whole lot of really beautiful things. And I'm proud of those things. I'm proud to be a Christian. And I also think my faith rests in that separation. And it always has. So seeing those two things come together for me, takes two things that I love very much, my faith and my country. And I feel like it just rips it away from me almost.
Well, let's talk about the manifestations of that and how they're appearing in Hudson. Let's begin with book bans. Give us the short version of the attempt to... Well, I guess there have been a couple instances. The attempt to limit what a high school creative writing class rooms are doing, and then the intrusion into library catalogs.
Yeah. This one, man, so it's really interesting. I'll start with, I'm a mom. I know teachers aren't perfect. Sometimes I have an issue. I have texted teachers before, I've emailed teachers before, I've talked with teachers face to face to get that issue solved. Whatever that issue was. This is I think how most parents solve an issue they have with their teacher, with their school, with whatever's going on. What we saw happen when someone had an issue with a creative writing class was not that. What we saw was suddenly the now former mayor of Hudson went to a board of education meeting with a speech prepared of this creating, writing prompts book and how this creating, writing props book is grooming kids and it's pornography essentially and accuses the teacher of terrible things, accuses the whole school board of the terrible things.
Then what happens from there? They get death threats, death threats that were serious enough where we had to close our administrative buildings because they were credible enough. And he didn't have a kid in that class. It was someone who happened to find out about this book. No one had an issue with the class. No one had an issue with that book. It was just something to me, I think they could score political points on. Because if they really had an issue with it, they would've gone to the teacher, they didn't. They went to the mayor to make a speech. To then get videos, to then send to Josh Mandel. And so he had fun meeting with Josh Mandel about this. And we had to deal with death threats at our schools, for our school boards. The class got pulled because it was a university college credit class. And we lost it. Our high school kids, my kids, if they go to high school there one day, they do not have that class anymore because of this stunt that he pulled. And it was absolutely a stunt. Now I have no problem with any parent having a conversation who is concerned about something going on in their class, we should be able to have these conversations with real concerned parents. He was not a real concerned parent. And to me, this is a lot of trying to score political points. And the cost is on the education of our children.
Was this the same mayor whose speech at a city council meeting went viral as he claimed that ice fishing shanties, if left unregulated would naturally lead to prostitution?
That's right. Same mayor for this nice video. It's very dramatic where he says, "You know what ice shanties are going to lead to? It's like a dramatic pause, prostitution." And everyone in there is like, "Did not think that was the word that was coming next." And he believed it. So I've had people like he doesn't laugh, this is not a joke to him. This was something that he really believed was a legitimate concern about ice fishing in Hudson, that it could lead to prostitution, this is... And I don't understand this mindset, but this is a little bit the mindset of you make these incredibly, crazy leaps from ice shanties to prostitutions, from a creative writing class to grooming children. And these leaps, here he wasn't accusing of any particular ice fishing club of prostitution. But when you're accusing a person of grooming children, who is a teacher in our community, who... These teachers don't get paid all that well. And now on top of that, they have to deal with you accusing them of being grooming. And in addition, if you really are concerned with children being groomed, which is terrible, accusing everyone in this country of grooming children who don't agree with you is not the way we catch someone who actually is doing that. In fact, it only makes it harder and it only muddies the water more. It only makes it easier for people who would want to groom children. You just see these ridiculous claims, linking mundane books to grooming children.
It seems to me more evidence in support of your theory that this is a last dying gasp of a culture that fears its own extinction. The puritanical nature of their reactions to social issues. I'm thinking of the social conditions that led to the witch trials in Salem. You have this massive overreaction of a society that believes its existence is under threat by forces it can't control.
I think that's right. It's their last dying breath. And I do think that they are able to, with these claims, get some parents legitimately concerned. And I don't think anyone is legitimately concerned that this teacher in Hudson was grooming children. I don't think anybody thinks that. However, with the number of books they're now trying to ban, so the biggest one that they love to hammer on is Gender Queer, because it has graphic content in there. And this is in a high school class or a high school library, I should say. And this is a book that they just will not let go of the graphic content, which they swear is very offensive. They love to share it everywhere, which I find interesting. Because if you really think it's that offensive, why do you keep showing everybody this offensive thing? Which means, I don't think you really think it's that offensive, but I do think you can take a lot of things out of context. And especially not only if it's out of context out of a book, but if it's from a culture and from something that you don't understand. I am personally not gender queer, as far as I know, my kids are not. And this book is written for someone who is gender queer, who is struggling with their identity and these issues. And it's also for their parents to understand how to have that conversation with their children. And if you aren't gender queer and your kid isn't, then you struggle to understand value of this book and the value for any book that represents LGBTQ people in a library, in a high school. And this is a conversation that is, I think, hard to have when you just have the other side yelling groomers and not willing to actually have the conversation with someone who says this book mattered to me. This book was important for me to see myself reflected in that book, because we know kids like this also have higher rates of suicide, higher rates of bullying. They are more likely actually to be murdered. And we don't want to quiet those kids and quiet the issues they're going through. We want them to be able to speak with their parents, even if those issues are uncomfortable. And really what I see the other side doing is they want to have none of these tough conversations, whether it's about race, whether it's about sexual identity, whether it's about sex, they want none of the conversations to happen. And just to kind of put their fingers in their ears, screaming 'la, la, la, la, la," and they think it'll all go away.
But I was in the military. Ken, you were in the military, we had, 'don't ask, don't tell'. We got rid of it because it's not a very effective way to go about your business. The 'don't ask, don't tell' in the military, I just remember being like, this is crazy when you know someone is, or don't know, and you can talk about, like I can talk about dating Casey, but they can't talk about their life because they're not allowed to. It makes for a really weird work environment. This 'don't ask, don't tell', doesn't work. It didn't work in the military and it's not going to work in our schools and our society, which is where they're trying to push us to.
It is inarguably bad policy. And I love your comparison to don't ask, don't tell. It's hurtful policy, but is it good politics? That's my big concern going into 2022, have they hit on something that is working for them politically, even though you and I both see the enormous damage it is doing at a human level?
That I think is a really interesting question because what you typically saw in every election, in economics, we have this median voter kind of theory. The primary is you're more right or you or left. And then what happens in the general election is you swing towards the middle and you kind of see both candidates tend to do this. And whoever can pull from the middle the most is who wins. And this tended to be the strategy for politics. You move to the middle, see if you can get the middle. But what Donald Trump did is show that's not the only way to win. He did not try and get the middle, I don't think. What he did is said, "You know what? I just need my base to show up. How I get my base to show up is just super far, right do these dog whistles, do these whatever these things are that can really rile them up and make them angry. And that's how I win." And he did win. He didn't have to win the entire population. He won the electoral college and he won by rallying the base, not by trying to at the median voter. And what I see Democrats doing is, they're still really trying to get that median voter. And I wonder if we're playing two different games with Republicans, really getting their base to show up, not worrying about the median voter, and Democrats not rallying their base, worrying a lot about that median voter.
How do you see that game as you put it, playing out in Hudson where you have such a vocal Republican base. Vocal to the point where they're protesting in front of your house without knowing what the ask is, they're turning out, even as Hudson more generally is turning bluer, but those blue voters aren't as animated, what's your prediction for '22, if we can look to Hudson as the exemplar for suburbia nationwide?
So Hudson is interesting because you have some very far right, very loud voices. But they're not the majority. If you look at our recent school board election and our recent library election, man, did they not win and it wasn't close. And so I think you see the voters in Hudson, don't like this kind of... Republicans love to accuse Democrats of the culture wars. And we kind of let them a lot. We kind of let them say, "Yeah, we do the culture wars." And every time I hear that, I'm like, "What are you talking about?" To me, the Democratic party is a party that wants to stop the culture wars. If you look at Jim Crow, era laws, Democrats and when you think about the whole civil rights movement is trying to end and stop that culture war of attacking minorities or attacking whoever it is. And I think in Hudson, Republicans are going to have a tough time if they want to continue outlandish book bans, calling everyone a groomer. I don't think it's going to work very well in Hudson.
Now broader than Hudson, I think you may have issues with rallying the base. When you look at what the base of the Democratic Party wants, when you start to talk about what are your main issues? Most people don't start talking about the potholes in their roads. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be filled. Doesn't mean we don't want roads. It's just not what motivates us. And we've seen an important infrastructure bill, but we see the base asking for things like voting rights, and paid leave, and universal pre-K. And we don't see those policies. And so I worry more that we don't rally our base. And if we think about what our base wants, policies that some call very progressive, universal pre-K, might be one of those policies. I don't see that policy as very progressive. Not that very progressive people don't want it, they do want it, but I see it as fiscally conservative. We have a lot of economic research that shows, for every dollar you spend on quality childcare, you end up saving seven dollars in the long run. To me, I don't see how any fiscal conservative can say, they're not for universal pre-K. And so we just need to package a lot of the policies that Democrats want. A lot of the policies that the base wants, things like universal pre-K right. Package it in a way that shows it's for everyone, it's for the median voter. I think universal pre-K is another interesting one where we might think this policy is for, I don't know, urban families, but it's for any family with children.
And actually, if you look at the research on universal pre-K, it actually has the largest, positive impact on rural areas, on areas that really lack access to childcare. And we just don't often talk about policies that way. And so I really think Dems, they need to do more. And they need to do more that helps everyday families. If it's the Child Tax Credit, universal pre-K, they need to do more. Hudson, being in a community as wealthy as we are and where are, they're okay with the infrastructure package, I think largely, but I think for the base of the Democratic Party and for the Democratic Party in general, we need to see more policies that help everyday families.
Well, I think that's a great place to wrap because that is exactly the prescription that the party needs looking at this oncoming election with all of the challenges it presents. Off year inflation is high, but with the right message, I think it's salvageable.
I think that's right.

Sundaic Mountain Rat
Order : RODENTIA
Family : Muridae
Species : Leopoldamys ciliatus
Head-Body Length : up to 26 cm
Tail Length : up to 39 cm
Weight : up to 400 gms
The genus Leopoldamys are a distinct group of rats known as long-tailed giant rats. IUCN lists 6 species of such rat, all of which occur in Southeast Asia. These are large rats, with very long tails, smooth fur and narrow, elongated skulls.
The Sundaic Mountain Rat is typical of the genus - its body form is long and relatively slender, and its tail is around 1.5 times the head-body length.
This is a nocturnal mammal, which inhabits montane and lower montane forests typically above 1000 metres, although there are some records at lower altitudes at around 600 metres. Although its altitudinal range somewhat overlaps that of the Long-tailed Giant Rat Leopoldamys sabanus, a closely-related lowland species, it is apparently unusual to find both species living alongside each other.
It appears particularly common where there are numerous crevices and exposed tree roots beneath which it can search for food and take shelter when needed. It is mainly terrestrial, but may climb onto low shrubs and branches, and its nests have been recorded in tree holes up to 2 metres above the ground.
Its fur colour is dark brown on the upperside, flanks and head, and yellowish white to white on the belly. There is strong demarcation between the dark brown fur and white fur on the lowermost part of the flanks. Some specimens reportedly have a dark patch on the chest, either grey or brown, which is absent in the specimen shown here.
It has an omnivorous diet which includes various fruits, vegetation and insects.
This species only occurs in mountainous parts of Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra.
Figs 1 to 3 : Male specimen from Fraser's Hill, Peninsular Malaysia, at an elevation of 1250 metres. Despite being a wild forest rat, this individual was easily attracted to small fruits, and appeared unconcerned about the close proximity of the photographer.

# Native Support for Concurrent Programming in PowerShell

This RFC proposes a new built-in facility for concurrent programming in PowerShell. This facility will be implemented as a set of cmdlets on top of the existing runspace facility.

## Motivation

There are many scenarios in system administration where concurrent operations would be useful (see issue https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/3008). PowerShell workflow provides for concurrent operations but only within the context of a workflow thus entailing the constraints and overhead of the workflow runtime. There are a number of existing 3rd party implementations of similar functionality (e.g. https://github.com/proxb/PoshRSJob) The goal here is to provide a common in-box solution for concurrent execution in PowerShell scripts.

### Goals

Simplicity of use
-	Doesn't use the jobs pattern which requires explicit cleanup for the job, Tasks can be fire and forget
    -	Tasks will clean up after themselves, closing the runspace if appropriate and disposing the powershell object
    -	Auto-dispose means no need for the equivalent to Remove-Job
-	No hierarchy as is the case with jobs/childjobs – one task object per call to Start-PSTask
-	No separate wait and receive commands. A single Wait-PSTask command subsumes both.
Reliability:
-	Variables in task scriptblocks will need to either be explicitly initialized or have the $using: qualifier. Use of uninitialized variables will result in a parse-time error.
-	Stream (error, verbose, etc.) actions (-OnError, -OnVerbose, etc.) are supported to make sure output is not missed.

## Specification

New cmdlets Start-PSTask, Wait-PSTask, Stop-PSTask

Start-PSTask [-ScriptBlock] <scriptblock> [-Arguments <Object[]>] [-Name <string>] [-OnError <scriptblock>] [-OnOutput <scriptblock>] [-OnVerbose <scriptblock>] [-OnInformation <scriptblock>] [-OnWarning <scriptblock>] [-OnDebug <scriptblock>] [<CommonParameters>]
Start-PSTask [-FunctionName] <string> [-ArgumentList <Object[]>] [-Name <string>] [-OnError <scriptblock>] [-OnOutput <scriptblock>] [-OnVerbose <scriptblock>] [-OnInformation <scriptblock>] [-OnWarning <scriptblock>] [-OnDebug <scriptblock>] [<CommonParameters>]

-	This cmdlet starts a task instance and returns a PSTaskInfo object for that task.
-	Tasks will be identified by an integer ID which increases monotonically for each new task created
-	The maximum number of concurrently executing tasks will be controlled by a preference variable $PSTaskMaximumInstanceCount
-	Parameter -ScriptBlock
    -	Specifies the scriptblock to use for the task's actions. This scriptblock will be subject to strict variable assignment: variables must either be explicitly assigned in the scriptblock of have the `$using:` modifier. Use of unassigned variables will result in an error.
-	Parameter -FunctionName
    -	Specifies the name of a function to use as the task's action. Since $using: can't be used in a function body, the -ArgumentList parameter should be used to pass arguments to the function.
-	Parameter -ArgumentList
    -	Allows arguments to be passed to functions or parameterized scriptblocks.
-	Parameter -NoThrottle
    -	allows a task to be run that doesn't count against the maximum allowed number of concurrent tasks.
?	Example Scenario: background task colorizing the console that runs forever
-	Parameter -Name
    -	if specified, the task id will use the name as the stem of the task id. E.g. if the name if "foo" then tasks will be named "foo.1". "foo.2", etc.
-	Parameter -On*
    -	These parameters specify actions will be executed in the originating runspace, not in the task runspace. If there are any records in the associated stream, then the action scriptblock will be executed, receiving the PSTaskInfo object as $PSTaskInfo
Stop-PStask -TaskList <PSTaskInfo[]>
-	Takes an array of PSTaskInfo objects and stops any tasks in the QUEUED or RUNNING states. Tasks in the STOPPED or COMPLETED state will not be impacted.
-	Returns nothing on success, but the task is placed in the STOPPED state.
-	If the task doesn't exist, returns nothing
-	If the task fails to stop within as certain time window, returns an error
-	-Parameter -TaskList
    -	Takes a list of PSTaskInfo objects to stop.
    -	Supports ValueFromPipeline
Wait-PSTask -Task <PSTaskInfo[]> [-Timeout NN]
-	Waits until the task object has completed, then writes content of all streams returned by the task to the corresponding output streams
-	Any pending task actions (OnError, On*) will be invoked prior to the task output being written.
-	Adds PSTaskID property to each object output
-	Parameter -TaskList
    -	Takes a list of PSTaskInfo objects to wait for.
    -	Supports ValueFromPipeline
-	Parameter -Timeout
    -	Optional timeout for the wait in milliseconds

A new class – PSTaskInfo – will be added. The PSTaskInfo class represents an instance of a task. A task can be in one of four states: QUEUED, RUNNING or COMPLETED or STOPPED. Tasks are queued when there aren't enough runspaces to run all tasks concurrently (i.e. the value in $PSTaskMaximumInstanceCount has been reached). This class is defined as follows:

```csharp
    public enum TaskState
    {
        QUEUED    = 0,
        RUNNING   = 1,
        COMPLETED = 2,
        STOPPED   = 3,
    }

    public class PSTaskInfo
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The current state of the task
        /// </summary>
        public TaskState State { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// True if there were any errors during execution
        /// </summary>
        public bool HadErrors {get { … }}

        /// <summary>
        /// Wait for the task to complete then update the collections
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns></returns>
        public PSDataCollection<PSObject> Wait() { … }

        /// <summary>
        /// Identifier for the current task
        /// </summary>
        public string TaskID { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// Content of the streams saved as lists so they can be inspected without
        /// draining the collection. Must be typed as PSObject to allow the PSTaskID to
        /// be added to the result object.
        /// </summary>
        public List<PSObject> Output { get; set; }
        public List<PSObject> Error { get; set; }
        public List<PSObject> Verbose { get; set; }
        public List<PSObject> Warning { get; set; }
        public List<PSObject> Debug { get; set; }
        public List<PSObject> Information { get; set; }

    }
```

### New Preference variable
```powershell
	$PSTaskThrottleLimit
```
This preference variable controls the maximum number of concurrently running tasks. This limit can be bypassed by using the -NoThrottle parameter on Start-PSTask.

### Execution Environment

Tasks will be executed in the same process/appdomain as the parent. The execution environment for a throttled task will be equivalent to runspace pool runspace. This implies that there is no shared state between the parent and task runspaces. Any modules required by the task will either need to be explicitly loaded or be loaded through autoloading. The current working directory for the runspace will be whatever it was set to when last used.
Tasks started with -NoThrottle will execute in process in a new runspace created by the equivalent of RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace().

### Examples

```powershell
 #===================================
 # Simple single task execution
 #
 Start-PSTask { "Hello" } | Wait-PSTask

 #===================================
 # Use with Foreach-Object
 #
 1..20 | foreach {Start-PSTask { "Hello $using:_" }} | Wait-PSTask

 #====================================

INTERVIEW: Jonathan Gould says Celtic fans should rest easy as Joe Hart is still world-class
By Mark Guidi

Joe Hart in action for England
Get a weekly round-up of stories from The Sunday Post:
Thank you for signing up to our Sunday Post newsletter.
Something went wrong - please try again later.
Jonathan Gould knows exactly what it takes to win a title under extreme pressure at Celtic.
That's why he believes they should be doing everything possible to get Joe Hart.
The Hoops' attempts to sign Fraser Forster – a big player for them last season – from Southampton on a permanent deal look likely to fail.
In recent days, they have been linked with AEK Athens shot-stopper, Vasilios Barkas, valued at £5-million.
Scotland keeper David Marshall of financially-stricken Wigan Athletic has also been on the radar.
And with Craig Gordon released, Neil Lennon is under pressure to find a quality No. 1 for the season ahead.
But Gould, now the goalkeeping coach at Preston North End, would push for a move for Hart, and he is sure the former England No.1 would handle the pressure of chasing 10-in-a-row.
Gould told The Sunday Post: "Joe is a free agent just now, and looking for the right opportunity. I'm sure he'd be interested in a move to Celtic if the club wanted him.
"Before the season re-started a couple of weeks ago, we played against Burnley in a closed-door friendly and he was still in brilliant condition.
"As far as I'm concerned, he is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world and just needs a chance.
"He is hungry to do well. He's only 33, and still has seven or eight really good years left in him.
"Maybe the right deal for all parties will be for him to go to Celtic.
"With 10-in-a-row up for grabs and a place in the history books, there is plenty for Joe to like about moving to Glasgow.
"With so much at stake, the role of the goalkeeper shouldn't be played down, or taken for granted.
"It can be the difference between winning the league, and not winning it.
"This is not a time to gamble.
"Neil Lennon and everyone at the club wants the 10, and they need a solid foundation to to achieve that.
Jonathan Gould celebrating with Henrik Larsson
"Rangers have it with Allan McGregor. He is an outstanding goalie and they have added Jon McLaughlin, who is a very able goalkeeper.
"Joe has won an English Premier League title with Manchester City, and has 75 England caps. He knows what pressure is and can cope with it.
"David Marshall also must be considered as a serious option. He has been in fantastic form for Wigan all season, particularly since the turn of the year.
"Nobody is sure yet what is going to happen at that club, but David may well become available.
"I remember him when he was a kid coming through the ranks at Celtic. He has had a fine career for the last 15 or 16 years.
"He has five or six years left in him, and having played for his country 33 times, would not crumble under the pressure.
"It will be interesting to see how Celtic resolve this situation.
"It's an important decision, and I'm sure Neil and his head of recruitment, Nicky Hammond, will be working closely on it.
"Right now, Scott Bain is the only keeper on the books with first-team experience at the highest level and, at the very least, he needs competition."
Where Fraser Forster will be next season is unclear, and Gould continued: "Fraser will have options, I'm sure, and I suppose he might still end up at Celtic.
"But Craig Gordon decided to go, and is now back at Hearts.
"I can understand he has probably felt frustrated at the lack of first-team action in the past year or so.
"I remember when I was out of the first-team at Celtic under Martin O'Neill, and I wanted to leave to play regular football.
"I got my wish, and moved to Preston. With no disrespect to them, I did regret that move.
"With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had stayed and battled it out a bit more."
Gould will watch from afar as the next 10 months unfold.
He was Celtic's No.1 in season 1997/98 when they stopped Rangers from doing 10-in-a-row.
The man capped twice by Scotland remembers it well, and smiled: "Wim Jansen had just taken over as manager, and the first two league results – away to Hibs and at home against Dunfermline – were defeats.
"There was enormous pressure. In fact, there were waves of pressure. It was non-stop.
"Had we lost the next league game at St Johnstone, who knows what would have happened? But we won and kicked on.
"What got us through it was that we had a close dressing-room. Boys wanted to win for one another.

Fraser Forster
"So team spirit and camaraderie will be vital for Celtic and Rangers.
"Any other scenario, and you will be asking for trouble.
"That's why recruitment will be so vital for both clubs. It needs to be absolutely spot-on, both in terms of ability and personality.
"There can't be any mistakes, or bad judgment calls.
"I joined Celtic a few weeks into the season and, initially, it was a bit of a shock.
"Stopping Rangers winning the league dominated the conversation at every level, every day.
"You had to grasp very quickly what it was all about, or else you were no good to anyone.
"Every player this season will feel it. It's going to be an enormous task to win the league, for many reasons.
"We had five or six top-quality players, and we managed it, thanks to guys such as Henrik Larsson, Paul Lambert, Craig Burley, Tom Boyd, Marc Rieper, Alan Stubbs, Jackie McNamara, Phil O'Donnell and so on.
"It came down to the last day of the season and we held our nerve.
"We beat St Johnstone 2-0 at home, and the goals came from Henrik and Harald Brattbakk.
"I'm sure Neil will want it wrapped up earlier than that this season, but he has been around the block and has sampled all different kinds of scenarios.
"That experience and know-how will be invaluable as the season moves forward."
Both clubs will also play behind closed doors for the first few weeks, or months, of the season.
Gould is currently going through that just now in the English Championship, and finds it unusual.
He said: "Celtic and Rangers should have good enough players to cope with any circumstance thrown at them.
"That's why I repeat how important it is to get the recruitment right.
"I'm sure they would all rather play in front of full houses.
"But maybe one or two will react positively to not having 50,000 or 60,000 fans right on top of you. It might allow them to relax more, and go about their business with more freedom.
"It could, however, also be a leveller, in terms of the how the opposition reacts to not having an intimidating crowd against them.
"The crowd really should help bring out the best in all footballers. But it will be strange for them in the first few games, for sure.
"The intensity just doesn't appear to be the same, and the stats back that up in England over the past couple of weeks.
"Players are running less, maybe as much as a kilometre or so.
"So you really need to be extra-motivated.
"The chance to win 10-in-a-row – or stop it – should be everything you need."

Interviews Subterranea
Subterranea Talks of This Band and That Band Among an Array of Music Projects!
Coming from the underground is SUBTERRANEA whose time thus far, has had them release an album and EP as well. But the band as a whole is a one person project, done by a women at that, rather well. Aside from this she has also had a variety of other content released so far too. There is much more to be talked of from the chatter below.
Subterranea is a one-woman band. I do occasionally perform with other musicians and improvisers on stage, but when it comes to writing, composing, producing and mixing/mastering the projects - it's essentially all me.
My name is Alia, I am a trained operatic singer, a multi-instrumentalist (keys, cello, drums, jaw harp) and audio engineer. I started being involved in music since i was 6, so really, it's almost a second language to me. My father was into electronic music, so this probably shaped me in some way, since the first thing I am hearing in any song regardless of genre, is a bassline. I got into rock and metal much later in life but ever since, it was a fantastic journey of me discovering a huge part of what almost every teenage boy was into in high school (Megadeth, Metallica, other mainstream metal bands) and venturing forth into stranger and nicher sub-genres and bands like progressive metal, doom metal, black metal, black atmospheric. All this I somehow missed out on in high school due to general social anxiety and a-sociality, but now I get to be greedy about what I like and absorb and process what I find interesting all at the same time if I like.
I started writing music at around 12, but it was mostly classically-inspired piano music. I got into audio engineering and digital music composition in 2013 and have been involved in multiple projects before I released first Subterranea album in 2017. Ever since, it has been a journey - me evolving as a producer, composer, performer, and musician.
Subterranea is closely tied to chthonic imagery. In Ancient Greek pantheon, almost every divine deity had it's "dark side" that was incredibly terrifying to the worshippers, yet equally necessary and having its place in the grand scope of life. If a deity puts on its "chthonic" mask it means someone somewhere crossed the line, allowing this to happen.
I guess, for me - Subterranea is a justified and necessary manifestation of aggression, darkness and raw emotion that is both horrific in it's rawness and dignified in it's unapologetic honesty. That's the primary explanation behind the name.
There's also a secondary, complementary reason for a name. There's a UK-based progressive rock band called IQ, they have a song called Subterranea. I was mystified not as much by the song name as by lyrics:
Can I hold on, can I believe in
All the things you are?
There's no sane in, chaos reigns in Subterranea
and then again, later in the song:
Can I hold on? I cannot count them
Were I stronger I'd hold out longer in Subterranea
I think the lyrics just spoke back to Subterranea being a chthonic entity that is chaotic and constantly expanding in every direction simultaneously. But also, the IQ's song largely speaks to my creativity the way i see it - if my creativity could grow legs and could become an animal, it would be a monstrous octopus. I always have seventeen things on the go, with 15 more on the backburner. Plus, Subterranea, as a project, keeps challenging me creatively, as if testing my endurance - how much stronger, more knowledgeable and inspired should I become to hold longer in the mental space of this project? I don't know. Subterranea is an apologetic raw and emotional journey that demands creative honesty.
My band is based in Toronto, Canada. Music scene is dying here, at least in my opinion. With gentrification and condo projects, a lot of small venues that made playing shows possible, are disappearing. There is also a shortage of artistic support, programs or grants for art development. I prefer not to play in my home city. But I get it, it's not much easier anywhere in the world.
A bastard child of symphonic, avant-garde, neoclassical and progressive doom (Storm Corrosion, Opeth). Some call what I make dungeon synth because of the evident epic metal and black metal influences. If I can be 100% honest though, my music can probably best characterized as dark, dissonant, symphonic and heavy. But individual songs range between progressive metal to symphonic metal to folk metal.
My actual history of releases is about 5-6 albums if we count all projects I have been involved in. For Subterranea, it's one album (Kingdoms Fall) and one EP (Myrkri) with occasional sprinkled individual compositions, and one dark ambient album. I would say Kingdoms Fall was very folk/dungeon synth, Myrkri was bordering on progressive folk metal. My next release - St. Agony will be much much heavier, because some of the influences that laid the foundation sound for it are Meshuggah, Mastodon, Katatonia, Dan Swano, and Bathory. The release itself doesn't faithfully sound like any of the influences, but I was heavily perusing on the emotional frequencies of the artists' mentioned above.
Yes, St, Agony. It is a very emotional release for me, I guess it's an attempt to exorcize myself of some unprocessed traumatic incidents in my life. So it is heavy, it is dark, and I am really pushing the limits of my ability to express emotion in that one.
I have a possible tour in South America + Mexico planned possibly for summer, but things are still up in the air. It's a joint tour with Attrition (UK). Other than that, I am playing a Vancouver-based festival (Covenant) in Toronto on April 10, and possibly Metalocalyptick in Vancouver in the summer. I am planning to get into more European festivals for summer/fall as well.
I will give you the most unsatisfying answer ever - I don't know. I want to enjoy the journey of making music that is true to what I feel, and this is all I am trying to focus on at the moment. Everyone dreams of a rock'n'roll lifestyle, but without extremely hard work and lucky circumstances, it's not a feasible projection for any band' future. I want to make my career as a producer about becoming better, more honest, more skilled and more adaptive to change. I want to speak music as a language first, and whatever comes out of it - would be interesting to see and analyze.

Nine people were killed in a stampede at a party in central Ghana to mark the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, a public official told reporters today.
"We so far have nine people who are dead, six females and three males," said Nurudeen Hamidan, the head of the Asokore Mampong municipal assembly, in the city of Kumasi.
There was no immediate comment from the police in the city, which is 255 kilometres northwest of the capital, Accra.
But Hamidan said three bodies have been identified so far and six people were injured, one of them critically, and were receiving treatment in hospital.
The party was organised yesterday at a community centre in the Asawase area of Kumasi as the climax to the Eid al-Fitr festival, which marks the end of a month of fasting and prayer.
Local member of parliament Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka said carnivals were often held to celebrate the occasion but in the past have been marked by clashes between youths.
Organisers had told police the carnival would end by 9:00 PM (local time) and a group, thought to number about 300, moved to the community centre, where a fight reportedly broke out, he added.
"In a bid for people to rush out… there was this stampede," said Muntaka, from President John Dramani Mahama's National Democratic Congress.
But Hamidan said there were conflicting reports about the cause of the tragedy and a security meeting had been called for this afternoon to determine what happened.
"People are saying so many things. Some are saying that there was a lights out and the meter sparked and the sound of the meter made people agitated," he said.
"Others are saying that they finished the programme, they were leaving and there was a stampede along the way.

Q: Google sheets Count cells by color if value in cell is equal to 1 or more I'm working in Google sheets. I'm not a developer but I got this function from a YouTube video. In my Google sheet I have a list of task in column A and these tasks award 0-5 points when complete. The function I have looks at the range specified counts how many of them are green. works fine but I only interested in counting how many tasks are complete that award points of 1 or more. Here is the function:
function countColoredCells(countRange,colorRef,rangeSum) {
  var activeRange = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange();
  var activeSheet = activeRange.getSheet();
  var range = activeSheet.getRange(countRange);
  var rangeHeight = range.getHeight();
  var rangeWidth = range.getWidth();

  var bg = range.getBackgrounds();
  var colorCell = activeSheet.getRange(colorRef);
  var color = colorCell.getBackground();

  var count = 0;

  for(var i = 0; i < rangeHeight; i++)
    for(var j = 0; j < rangeWidth; j++)
      if( bg[i][j] == color )
        count = count+1;

  return count;
};

To explain this code a bit more it takes 3 augments. The First points to a that has a range in it. In my sheet in cell C174 I have written there C2:C173. So I give the function C174 for the first augment and it looks there for the range. The second augment takes a cell with the color you want to be counted. So I have the G5 cell Colored Green so I give the functions second augment G5 because I want it to count the green cells. The third augment is a little tricky to explain but you give the function a cell that as a Boolean check box thing and when you change it's value it refreshes the function to update it's count. Here is my google sheets https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W05-UKB-bBGMqOUC5OO9XirxnRBfJeMOj3ZMHoENcSQ/edit?usp=sharing There is a second custom function I am using here that I got from the YouTube video that just looks at the range of colored and sums their value. Also if you are looking at this sheet and are confused. the values in the colored cells that are formatted to be hidden.

A: You can try to make these three changes in the function:
function countColoredCells(countRange,colorRef,rangeSum) {
  var activeRange = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveRange();
  var activeSheet = activeRange.getSheet();
  var range = activeSheet.getRange(countRange);
  var rangeHeight = range.getHeight();
  var rangeWidth = range.getWidth();

  var bg = range.getBackgrounds();
  var colorCell = activeSheet.getRange(colorRef);
  var color = colorCell.getBackground();

  var points_range = countRange.replace(/[A-z]+/g,'B');        // <--- HERE
  var points = activeSheet.getRange(points_range).getValues(); // <--- HERE

  var count = 0;

  for(var i = 0; i < rangeHeight; i++)
    for(var j = 0; j < rangeWidth; j++)
      if( bg[i][j] == color && points[i][0] > 0 ) // <--- HERE
        count = count+1;

  return count;
};

A: Count Colors
function colorCounter() {
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  const sh = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet0");//source sheet
  const cs = sh.getDataRange().getBackgrounds();
  const vs = sh.getDataRange().getValues();
  let obj = { pA: [] };
  //color counter
  vs.forEach((r, i) => {
    r.forEach((c, j) => {
      if (!isNaN(c) && c >= 1) {
        if (!obj.hasOwnProperty(cs[i][j])) {
          obj[cs[i][j]] = { color: cs[i][j], count: 1, row: i + 1, col: j + 1 }
          obj.pA.push(cs[i][j]);
        } else {
          obj[cs[i][j]].count += 1;
        }
      }
    })
  })
  let vA = [["Color Counter"]];
  let cA = [["#ffffff"]];
  obj.pA.forEach(p => {
    cA.push([obj[p].color]);
    vA.push([obj[p].count])
  })
  const osh = ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1");//Display Sheet
  osh.clear();
  osh.getRange(1, 1, vA.length, 1).setValues(vA);
  osh.getRange(1, 1, cA.length, 1).setBackgrounds(cA);

Now Part 4 of our successful series "The Art of Attacking Soccer" is available as eVideo. In this excellent video production there is a complete new idea of designing drills: It is the combination of One-Touch, Combination Play and Soccer Specific Sprint Training.
The main topics: Passing Accuracy, Sprinting Capability, One-Touch Combination Play, Soccer Specific Sprint Training, Combination Play in a Parallel Course, Soccer Techniques under Pressure of Time, Coaching the Details, High Repetition Rates, Pressure of Time due to Group Competitions, Effective and Varied Training, Passing Through the Gap into the Run, Quick Combinations.
This eVideo "The Art of Attacking Soccer 4" shows 40 new Drills for Passing and Combination Play (Continuation of the series "The art of attacking soccer 1 and 2".) In this new eVideo there is also an effective football-specific sprint training. You will see how to incorporate sprints into a one-touch exercise and how to pass precisely after an explosive sprinting.
The complex training forms are easy to organize and versatile in training. They improve passing and combination play of your players, their group-tactical behavior and additionally their sprint abilities in the same set-up.
Sprint ability of the players.
In both game philosophies, the players must therefore combine quickly and precisely and sprint to free spaces at the highest speed. Explosive sprints and a high ball speed are very important.

This week, Your News to Know rounds up the hottest topics from the world of finance and the gold market. Stories include: Former Fed chair says eurozone isn't working, gold gets tailwind from inflation and China, and new Alabama bill would encourage use of gold and silver as currency.
In an interview for the February issue of the World Gold Council's "Gold Investor" magazine, former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan didn't hold back on criticism over the eurozone. As seen on Business Insider, Greenspan believes that wealthy northern nations such as Germany are funding less prosperous southern members, which compromises the integrity of the entire eurozone.
"The European Central Bank (ECB) has greater problems than the Federal Reserve. The asset side of the ECB's balance sheet is larger than ever before, having grown steadily since Mario Draghi said he would do whatever it took to preserve the euro. And I have grave concerns about the future of the Euro itself. Northern Europe has, in effect, been funding the deficits of the South; that cannot continue indefinitely. The eurozone is not working," said Greenspan, who governed the Fed between 1987 and 2006 and was the Chair leading up to the U.S. financial crisis.
His latest statements are in line with an older interview he gave CNBC immediately after Britain voted to leave the European Union, in which he was critical of the EU's currency. "Brexit is not the end of the set of problems, which I always thought were going to start with the euro because the euro is a very serious problem," Greenspan said at that time.
Frank Holmes' latest piece on Forbes outlines two factors that are bound to give a boost to gold prices: inflation and China's economic strides. Holmes notes that inflation continues its rapid ascent, rising by as much as 2.5% year-over-year in January.
This marks the sixth straight month of consumer prices rising, led by higher gasoline, rent and health care costs, as well as January being the second straight month for rates to be above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Thanks to this, gold has closed above $1,240 for the first time since after November's election – as Holmes says, with the inflation-adjusted 10-year Treasury yield reaching subzero territory, no investor will deliberately choose to lose money.
Another boon for gold comes in the form of China and India's economic revolution. The two countries, which are the world's top gold consumers, are expected to make huge economic strides in the next few decades – this would boost gold demand even further due to the metal's high correlation with discretionary income growth.
China – which alone consumed 2,000 metric tons of gold in 2016, amounting to 60% of all the newly mined gold during the year – has been the talk of the business world recently. Morgan Stanley issued a 118-page report called "Why we are bullish on China", forecasting that the Asian giant will transition from a middle-income nation to a high-income one between 2024 and 2027. This prediction goes hand-in-hand with PricewaterhouseCoopers' (PwC) expectations that China will surpass the U.S. economy on an absolute basis by 2030.
Expanding upon India's economic boom, PwC states that the country "currently comprises 7 percent of world GDP at [purchasing power parity], which we project to rise steadily to over 15 percent by 2050." As Holmes pointed out, these are all good news for gold, as demand for the metal has historically risen along with incomes in these two countries.
A bill that was recently introduced to the Alabama House stands to make great strides for gold and silver bullion. Currently, precious metals are treated as a commodity in the state, which subjects them to sales and use tax – the bill would change the status of the metals to currency, which would encourage their use in business transactions.
The Tenth Amendment Center blog argues that the current treatment of gold and silver as commodities goes against the Constitution, and gives the Federal Reserve plenty of leeway with its own currency. House Bill 238 would allow the markets to choose a more stable form of payment in the form of precious metals as opposed to the rapidly-depreciating paper currency – in the long run, it would also weaken the Federal Reserve's monopoly on money and take away much of the value from its notes.
