I've had one eye open for a doughnut recipe that doesn't involve deep fat frying, or the need to buy a doughnut pan, for a while now. And I think I finally found the perfect starting point here, which I've adapted it a little. They came out really light and fluffy, not too sweet and a perfect mini mouthful!
They're a little bit of a time investment as you need to wait for the dough to rise, but that's a good opportunity to get the washing up done make a cup of tea!
The result is well worth the wait too, the jam swirls and leakages just added to my excitement.
I played with the shapes a little and tried holed doughnuts, but they rose a bit too far and closed up, looking like belly buttons! I also cut cloud shapes with a sharp knife, inspired by Herriott Grace. They were cute looking but without the jam filling didn't quite taste right.
A few hours before you plan to make these, or perhaps the night before, you'll need to combine the milk and lavender buds in a jug and leave them to infuse in the fridge.
Combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a bowl and rub in the butter until you get a sandy consistency.
Warm your infused lavender milk in a small pan, try not to let it boil.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, using a strainer or sieve to catch the lavender buds.
Tip in the beaten egg and mix until you get a soft dough.
Knead the dough for 5 minutes on a well floured surface. You can add extra flour to the dough if it's too sticky.
When you have a smooth and even dough place it back in the bowl, cover with cling film and allow to rise for 1 hr, or until the dough has doubled in size. I try to leave my dough in a warm place, by the oven, or a sunny spot.
Once risen, knock the dough back by kneading gently again and form into 12 even sized balls.
Flatten the balls onto a baking tray, to roughly 7-8cm across.
Spoon a small amount of your jam into the middle of the disc and gather the edges together enveloping the jam and pinch closed. Once you're happy no jam can leak out you can re-form the balls.
Cover the tray again and let the balls rise for another 30 minutes, then place in the over at 190'C for 10 minutes, or when they're just golden.
For the topping just mix a teaspoon of icing sugar and water in a small bowl to form a sugary 'glue', in another bowl mix the caster sugar and cinnamon and simply dip the doughnut upturned in each bowl to coat. You could also dust icing sugar over them if you'd prefer.
C'est tu! Is anyone else enjoying Rachel Khoo's little Paris kitchen as much as me? Another thing making me want to move across the Channel.
These look amazing. I might have to brave my fear of yeast and try making them.
I was exactly the same, Andi! Just don't get the yeast that you have to mix with hot water and activate yourself – it NEVER works, in my experience anyway!


... made another user account made it admin access. Logged onto it started steam, and the game started right up.
The issue right there :). The game includes a redistributable package of directx which runs on first start up of the game to ensure all the correct versions of the files it uses are present (almost all games on steam include such packages). I'm going to assume this is the problem it's running into, being unable to continue due to not being run as an admin. You could try browsing to the folder Deus Ex is in (...Steam\steamapps\common\deus ex - human revolution\) right clicking dxhr.exe and selecting Run as administrator. Hope that helps :).
well my main user account is admin, so it should work regardless, but yes I tried this step a few days ago and never worked. If this helps at all, its not just deus ex im having problems with, its dirt 3 as well. I just bought that the other day as well. and one more piece of info. when I hit play, my status goes from online to in-game, then about 5 seconds later goes back to online status.
Does it throw up any errors at all or does it just sits there silently not doing anything? If nothing at all does it show up in the task manager?
I see :(, really wish I could think of what the heck was going on with it, this will probably bug me for a few days as well now lol. I know how it is wiping a drive just in the hopes of getting something to work :thud:.
Hope that at least fixes the Dirt 3 issue, as for Deus Ex i'm hunting around for a solution. Only thing I can think of at the moment is seeing how a new admin account works fine, would be to create one and use that as your primary account from now on?

Ein Delator (lateinisch eigentlich "Überbringer, Anzeiger") war vorzugsweise in der römischen Kaiserzeit des römischen Reiches ein berufsmäßiger Denunziant, der ein Gewerbe daraus machte, um sich die Gunst der Kaiser und sich selbst persönliche Vorteile zu verschaffen.

Geschichte

Gerade im 1. Jahrhundert n. Chr. verbreitete sich das Unwesen der Delatoren, nachdem unter der Herrschaft des Augustus die maiestas vom römischen Volk auf den Princeps übergegangen war.

In der Regel wurden Personen denunziert, die den Kaisern verdächtig oder auch nur unbeliebt waren, insbesondere wegen angeblicher Majestätsbeleidigung.
Delatoren tauchten verstärkt unter dem Kaiser Tiberius auf und übten nachher unter Kaisern wie Caligula und Domitian ihre verderbliche, Hass und Misstrauen verbreitende Wirksamkeit, während sie unter Kaisern wie Titus, Nerva, Trajan durch Verbannung oder sonstige Strafen unterdrückt wurden.

Der Gewinn eines Delators bestand gewöhnlich durch den Akt der Delation in einem Viertel der dem Angeklagten auferlegten Strafsumme oder seines verfallenen Vermögens, daher auch der Name Quadruplator.

The Southeastern Spine Institute (SSI) wants you to understand what you need to know about your back and spine. We've compiled a list of the medical terms we use when talking about back care in Charleston. Find the short, easy-to-understand medical definitions we've provided for you as part of our patient education program. Italicized words have separate entries.
Transplanting an organ or tissue from one person to another. In terms of your spine, this usually refers to a bone graft procured from a bone bank or donor.
In the front; pertaining to or toward the front plane of your body, the opposite of posterior.
Transplanting an organ or tissue from one part of your body to another. In terms of your spine, this usually refers to a bone graft taken from your hip.
To make sure you get the best care at SSI, all our surgeons are board certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery or the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, depending on their specialty.
Also called osteophytes, they are bony projections that can develop on the bones of your spine caused by injury, age, or illness. Often benign, they can be removed if they compress spinal nerves.
A narrow tube or needle that is inserted into your body for medical purposes: to drain fluid, to insert medication, or to allow medical instruments access to hard-to-reach places, such as your spine.
Of or relating to your neck, which is comprised of seven cervical vertebrae. At SSI, a cervical bone refers to a spinal bone in your neck.
Basically, a pain in your neck, cervicalgia is localized pain that can be caused by muscle tension, or it can point to a more serious problem.
This funny-looking word refers to your tailbone. It's a small bone connected to the sacrum, made up of four fused rudimentary vertebrae.
A surgical procedure in which a vertebral bone in your spine is completely, or nearly completely, removed and replaced with a bone graft. See allograft and autograft.
A surgical procedure in which one or more injured or diseased discs is removed. Often, a bone graft replaces the disc. See allograft and autograft.
The relatively soft and spongy structural material between each of your vertebral bones. Discs provide impact resistance (like a shock absorber) while holding the spinal bones in place. A disc is composed of a gelatinous center surrounded by a tough fibrous outer ring or wall.
With respect to your back, an electrothermal treatment uses electrically generated heat to kill, fuse, or cauterize injured or diseased cells, usually in your spine.
Paired joints that attach the rear part of one vertebrae to those above and below it.
A technological advance that allows surgeons to virtually see inside your body with real-time X-rays. Fluoroscopy guides a surgeon's hands in some surgeries.
A foramen is an organic passage into or through one of your bones. The space inside your spine, through which your spinal cord passes, is a foramen. Foramina is the plural.
A condition describing the shrinking or narrowing of the opening for your spinal nerves. This painful condition often affects the nerve roots leaving your spinal column.
A surgical procedure to widen the opening in your spine so that your nerve roots are not compressed. See also foramen/foramina.
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that locks multiple bones in your spine together permanently, often with a metal plate. While fusion restricts movement, it supports and reinforces the bones. A fusion also refers to the way bone grafts knit together with the vertebrae above and below to form a new bone mass.
A diseased or injured disc in your spine that has slipped, bulged, ruptured or broken open. Often, surgery is required to repair or replace the disc.
Between the pointed bones of your spine. Between the spinous processes of your vertebrae.
Into a disc of your spine, as relating to an injection or electrothermal treatment.
Pertaining to a structure or substance within a sheath, such as within your spinal canal. Introducing into or occurring within the space under the membrane covering your spinal cord.
A minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat spine fractures. A kyphoplasty relieves pain and stabilizes your spine, while restoring your height.
A cervical surgery to open or increase the space for your spinal cord and nerves. It has advantages over a cervical corpectomy and fusion, but requires an otherwise healthy spine.
The back portion of a vertebral bone that covers your spinal canal. It is located beneath the spinous process.
A surgical procedure to remove the back part of your vertebra, called the lamina. The procedure enlarges your spinal canal to relieve pressure.
The tough fibrous tissues that attach your bones together. Ligaments provide joint stability.
Referring to your lower back. It's the area approximately six inches below your shoulder blades, where your spine curves in toward your abdomen. There are five lumbar vertebrae.
A compression of your spinal cord, usually by a bone spur or herniated disc. This condition often causes severe pain, as well as weakness and/or numbness of your extremities.
A main nerve branch off your spinal cord. Nerve roots leave the spine through openings between the vertebrae around the level of the discs.
The pharmacological, surgical, alternative or other treatments that prevent, lessen or eliminate pain. These conservative care options do nothing to remove the cause of pain.
Therapeutic exercises, often performed after surgery, to build back muscle strength and encourage healing. SSI has PT facilities on site.
In the back; pertaining to or toward the rear plane of your body. The opposite of anterior.
A specific type of herniated disc, this term refers to a spinal disc with a wall that has lost its integrity, allowing the disc nucleus to spill out. It is a painful injury.
The point at which your sacral spine attaches to your pelvis. See also Sacrum.
The area of your spine that connects the spine to your pelvis. It is comprised of five vertebrae that are fused together.
Pain that radiates from your lower back to your leg (usually one or the other). The most common cause is a herniated disk or a bone spur on your spine.
A condition that causes a normally straight spine to curve sideways. Early detection helps, and braces can help the bones grow correctly.
The nerve tissue that extends from your brain, protected by your spine. The spinal cord carries information between your body and your brain via the nerve roots.
A medical condition in which new bone or soft tissue has grown from your vertebrae into your spinal canal, reducing the space for your spinal cord, sometimes pinching your nerve roots.
The part of your skeleton that extends from the base of your skull to your pelvis. It acts as the main support for your body and protects your spinal cord. Composed of alternating vertebrae and discs, it's divided into five areas: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum and the coccyx.
The pointed, backward-facing projections of your vertebra bones. It's what you feel if you run your hands down your spine. Ligaments and muscles attach to your spine here.
The condition known as a "slipped disc," in which one of the bones of your spine has slipped out of position and is rubbing against the disc below it, causing significant pain.
The tough fibrous tissue that attaches muscles to your bones.
Strengthening exercises that include core stabilization and stretching. If you have had invasive surgery or long periods of inactivity, these exercises help you get back on your feet.
The area of the spine that supports your rib cage. There are 12 thoracic vertebrae in your spine.
The bony segments of your spine. One unit includes the spinous process and the lamina, and is called a vertebra.

Oxfam is responding to deadly cyclone Idai, which tore through southern Africa and devastated Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Hundreds of people have died, many more are still missing and millions have been left destitute without food or basic services. A second disaster, Cyclone Kenneth, has now hit northern Mozambique – another massive blow to the country. Please give what you can today and help us save lives.
"The floods have reduced me and my family to nothing. All my property is damaged. Goats and chickens washed away. The house has been leveled to the ground. I am left with nothing now."
Maria, Malawi
Cyclone Idai hit landfall in Beira, Mozambique, on the night of 14-15 March, with winds of 170km/h and heavy rains. Described by the UN as 'one of the worst weather-related disasters in Africa', it has caused extensive damage and devastated the lives of more than 2.6 million people in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
A second cyclone in just six weeks, Cyclone Kenneth, has now brought torrential rains to northern Mozambique, causing flash floods, burst rivers, potential landslides and storm surges, putting another 160,000 people at risk and killing at least 9 people. This second large-scale disaster is another massive blow to the country.
Cholera spreading at an alarming rate
The full scale of Cyclone Idai is still unfolding. Massive floods waters have destroyed homes, hospitals, schools, farms and agricultural land, damaging roads and washing away bridges. Thousands of people are still isolated in difficult to reach areas, some only accessible by helicopter or boat.
Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced following the cyclone. They have gathered in transit camps, with little or no access to clean drinking water or sanitation services, heightening the risk of water-borne diseases. The threat of a cholera epidemic is high. It is spreading now in Mozambique, with the number of cases soaring over 6,500.
Oxfam's response
Despite huge access and logistical challenges, Oxfam teams are working around the clock to assess the needs and deliver aid to those worst affected. In coordination with local partners, we are planning to reach up to 450,000 people across the three countries with clean water, sanitation services, food and emergency shelters.
Our response is focused on preventing and stopping the spread of deadly diseases such as cholera and malaria through activities that include:
water trucking to households without clean and safe water
providing temporary latrines with handwashing facilities
distributing buckets, water bladders and hygiene kits
training up volunteers to increase hygiene awareness and deliver key messaging to communities
Your help is urgently needed
This crucial work needs to happen on a larger scale, and faster. Our priority is to reach the many communities in hard to reach areas, by any means possible. People's lives are still in danger and we need to act now.
Blogs and stories
From Mozambique: a cry out to leaders at the Climate Summit
As world leaders gather in New York this week for the Climate Action Summit, Oxfam partner Jose Mucote decided to come all the way from Mozambique to share his experiences as a first responder to the devastating Cyclone Idai earlier this year, a cyclone that is a true witness of a climate crisis we can no longer ignore.
In the aftermath of Cyclone Idai, survivors are in desperate need of aid
In the worst-affected areas of Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi, we've met survivors like Dorothy, Joshua and Madelema who have lost everything, their lives devastated by Cyclone Idai. They are in urgent need of life-saving humanitarian assistance. You can make a difference.
More than 52 million people across Africa going hungry as weather extremes hit the continent
More than 52 million people in 18 countries across southern, eastern and central Africa are facing up to crisis levels of hunger as a result of weather extremes, compounded by poverty and conflict.
Poorest people get less than one cent per day to protect themselves from impacts of climate crisis
Leaders must heed climate strikes and give vulnerable people the tools to survive.
6 months after cyclone Idai: farmers are fainting in fields because of hunger
Hunger is escalating as the United Nation's humanitarian response in Mozambique is less than half funded.
Cyclone Idai in Zimbabwe
Cyclone Idai struck Zimbabwe in March 2019, affecting 270,000 people. This policy brief provides an analysis of the impacts and review of the disaster response to draw lessons and policy implications for post-disaster institutional development.
From cyclone to food crisis
After the double tragedy of Cyclone Idai and Cyclone Kenneth, the people of Mozambique now face yet another crisis: a food security crisis. This joint agency briefing calls for urgent funding for emergency food assistance and longer term support to help affected women, men and children to rebuild their lives.
Every year, over 500.000 people are affected by floods, cyclones and drought. Mozambique has recently been identified as the country with the second highest expected climate change impacts in the world.
Oxfam is working to tackle the root causes of poverty in Zimbabwe. This means we are also working to reduce marginalization and helping Zimbabweans enjoy their rights so that they can lead a dignified life.
In rich countries, clean water is so plentiful and easily available that we simply take it for granted. Yet around the world, diseases from unsafe water kill more people each year than any other cause. Water is central to almost every aspect of Oxfam's work.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an emerging approach to automation within or across information systems. While it has grown immensely during recent years, academic studies on the topic have been quite scarce. This study focuses on one aspect of this automation, namely how to select which processes to automate. The purpose of this study is to review existing methods for selecting processes to automate and if possible, suggest improvements to these. In addition, this study also aims to investigate if BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) can be used to assist in the process selection.
In order to fulfill this purpose, the study began by reviewing existing methods and gathered a total of 23 methods or recommendations for how to select processes. These methods were then applied at a partner company for four specific processes. The processes were selected during a set of interviews after which the processes were modelled using BPMN and assessed using the criteria from the existing methods.
This revealed a number of issues with existing methods and the use of BPMN for this purpose. A new methodology was designed, the RPA Suitability Framework, which tried to address these issues, both with the existing selection methods as well as BPMN.
The RPA Suitability Framework was then applied to five new processes from the partner company to see how it fared compared to previous methods. This evaluation was done by comparing the outcome of the methods, the content of the methods as well as during an evaluation workshop with the partner company. Many improvements could be seen, but further testing of the new framework would be needed before a general recommendation to use it could be given.

The defining tussles of the US presidential election
If you thought this American presidential election could not yet become more febrile, more absurd, and more consequential than it is, then it's time to think again. The death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the age of 87 and long past the time when she should have retired from her position as a Supreme Court justice is one thing; Donald Trump's intimation he might not be inclined to accept the election result, another.
This latter issue might be thought a fresh piece of performative art from a president whose chief attribute – we are fishing in a small pool here – is his ability to drive his opponents to distraction. But, as ever with Trump, it is difficult to know if he is being serious or if, as so often, his words should be treated as whimsy. Nevertheless, Trump was asked by Fox News if he would accept the election result (a question, we might note, that is predicated upon the idea that Joe Biden will win the presidency) and he replied: "No. I have to see. Look you – I have to see. No, I'm not going to just say 'yes'. I'm not going to say 'no'. And I didn't last time, either." Make of that what you will.
Ginsburg's death is a dramatic, late-season plot twist too. By rights, she should have retired during Barack Obama's first term, thereby ensuring the appointment of another tolerably liberal justice. Vanity and ego are powerful things, however, and now American liberals face the prospect of a conservative jurist replacing Ginsburg and tilting the court's balance away from the liberal majority it has, on the whole, enjoyed – or endured – for more than half a century.
There is, of course, a blatant double standard being employed here. When the conservative Antonin Scalia died in March 2016, rather further from that year's election than we are from this latest presidential tussle, Republicans in the Senate decreed that the next justice should be appointed by the new president, not Obama. There was, after all, a chance that the president might be a Republican one. Now, however, the GOP demands that custom be followed after all: a sitting president must be permitted a vote on his nominee even if he has only weeks left to serve himself.
Grotesque, of course, and naked politics for sure. Yet, viewed from a conservative perspective, there is a certain sense to it and even Republicans who do not love Donald Trump can argue that the prize of a conservative Supreme Court is such that it can survive a certain degree of hypocrisy. That is one way of measuring the fact that the Supreme Court is now too important in American politics; too many matters that should be settled, or at least argued by, the legislative branch of government, are now determined by the court.
In response, American liberals talk of adopting extreme measures themselves. These include ending the routine use – and abuse – of the filibuster that makes a super-majority necessary to pass legislation through the Senate, granting statehood to (reliably Democratic) Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia and, if necessary expanding – which is to say, packing – the Supreme Court to 11 or even 13 justices, the better to preserve its liberal majority.
Individually, there may be plausible arguments for each of these measures; collectively, they could easily be considered a means by which liberals would redraw the political map so as to entrench their own advantage. Beneath talk of "democracy" and "justice" this would be a power-play to match Republican obstructionism, double standards, and cynicism with Democratic muscle. As such, it is tempting indeed.
And yet it would also, I suspect, be dangerous. In the first place, Joe Biden's campaign for the presidency is based in large parts upon returning some sense of normalcy to American politics. Donald Trump has cheerfully trashed many of the things customarily associated with the presidency. Rules – and norms – are for little people, not the Donald. Biden's campaign is an argument that those norms, however frustrating and limiting they might be, actually matter.
From which it follows that a promise to play the Republican party at its own game counterfeits the underlying argument for Biden's presidency. In one sense, this is plainly disagreeable for Democrats: why should they observe the customary pleasantries of American politics at a time when Republicans are cheerfully happy to ignore them? Why should they be expected to be the bigger, better man?
The answer to that is straightforward: because someone has to be. Failing that, an arms race ensues in which both parties compete to see who can most thoroughly tear up the conventions that have, however uneasily or imperfectly, established the ground rules for American politics. Remove those, and who knows what might follow?
That is, in part, one of the conservative arguments for a Biden presidency. It will advance a liberal agenda, certainly, but this is of less immediate importance than the promise of a return to conventional politics. Absent that, a form of anarchy beckons, for without agreed rules or norms, politics falls apart.
There is an underrated risk of that happening in the United States now. It is not just the Supreme Court whose legitimacy is contested; Congress is in the dock too. Democratic nominees have won a majority of the presidential vote in six of the past seven presidential elections, yet the nature of the electoral college – which gives disproportionate power to sparsely-populated rural states relative to densely-inhabited coastal ones – hands the GOP a significant advantage in presidential elections and an often decisive one in elections to the Senate. Wyoming and California, after all, have the same number of senators.
Hence this acute difficulty: the American system is that of a constitutional republic, not a parliamentary democracy. Yet over recent decades a great sorting has taken place and the Democratic and Republican parties are each more homogenous than was the case in previous iterations. American politics, therefore, has replaced coalitions with teams without updating or reforming its governmental institutions to take account of that. A system built to require bipartisanship is stymied by a parliamentary style of politics in which the winner takes all and the loser gets nothing.
That is, in some respects, the gravest ongoing crisis in American politics and it is one that cannot be fixed save by significant institutional reform or, alternatively, re-appreciating that, in a country as large and diverse as the United States, sweeping, immediate, and wholesale change is neither possible nor even necessarily desirable. Nobody is excited by incrementalism but, in the main, that is what the system demands.
Biden, who retains a significant if not yet impregnable advantage in the opinion polls, will have to decide if he is a reformer or a re-maker. The pressure from his party, goaded as Democrats are by GOP intransigence, will encourage Biden to remake the institutions of American democracy even if his own instincts lie more in reforming them. But, if elected, the tension between these positions, these inclinations, will be one of the defining tussles of a Biden presidency.

On Friday at noon, artist Gail Williams will lead a discussion on the impact of visual images from "March: Book One" at the Bragtown Family Literacy Center, 3200 Dearborn Drive.
The week ends with a screening of White Scripts and Black Supermen: Black Masculinities in American Comic Books, led by writer and producer Dr. Jonathan Gayles, at 3 p.m. on Saturday at Stanford L. Warren Library, 1201 Fayetteville St. Gayles will discuss the 40-year evolution of black superheroes in American comic books. He examines how the portrayal of black superheroes is predicated on the longstanding backdrop of American racial history which often portrayed African-American men in overtly negative and stereotypical ways.
Durham Reads Together, sponsored by the Friends of the Durham Library and Durham Library Foundation, invites the entire community to read the same book and attend programs around its theme, inspiring discussions on important issues including race, family, identity, faith, education, culture, music and visual art. "March: Book One," co-written by Andrew Aydin and illustrated by Nate Powell, is a first-hand account of Lewis' lifelong fight for civil rights, exploring the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. March is rooted in Lewis' personal story, but also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement. The first installation of a trilogy, Book One spans Lewis' youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student Movement and the battle to tear down segregation through nonviolent lunch counter sit-ins. Lewis is the Democratic Representative from Georgia's 5th District.

# 9 – Peter Doherty – Last of the English Roses
From: Grace/Wastelands
Label: EMI/Astralwerks
I think I've stopped caring about Pete(r) Doherty's demons. I used to hate them simply because they made him seem more important than he ever was. Even though I was never keeping count to begin with, I lost track a long, long time ago of his arrests, I'm totally unenthusiastic about whatever his next musical move may be and the fact that its mainly his doing that Lee Mavers is mulling a return to the spotlight only makes me think that Lee Mavers will do nothing more than mull a return to the spotlight. To my mind, Doherty may very well be the most overrated artist of the decade. There are some Libertines songs I like very much, although I never understood their worshippers. There are a couple Babyshambles tracks worth a listen, but I've never enthusiastically played them for anyone as I excitedly asked, "Have you heard this?!" I think a lot of people want to lap up his work now because they're very aware each day could be his last. But we were saying that five years ago, weren't we? So now the whole schtick has veered from sad into annoying. More annoying still is that despite my criticisms, he turns in one track on every one of his albums that makes me go, "Oh, well… sh*t. That's really good." And so it is with "Last of the English Roses" this time around — a reverent rainy day British tune beautifully accentuated by the likes of Stephen Street and Graham Coxon with a terribly poetic little lyric that most non-heroin addicted writers would break their back to pen. He does this to annoy me. It would be so much easier to dismiss him were all the music just total crap, but no. He's got to make the list — the top 10, even!

China's Sun Zhengcai, an ex-political star and one of the youngest Politburo members - seen as a potential contender for a top government position, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for corruption.
The former Communist Party boss had admitted in April to an intermediate court in the city of Tianjin that he had taken bribes of more than 170 million yuan ($27 million).
Announcing the verdict, the court also deprived him of his political rights for life and all his personal property was confiscated.
State broadcaster CCTV showed Sun in court accepting the sentence and stating that he would not appeal.
Many China politics experts and some party insiders attribute Mr. Sun's downfall to his reputation as a possible next-generation leader whose ties were to senior party figures other than Mr. Xi.
Observers say the Chinese leadership under Xi used the trial to demonstrate its strict stance against corruption and to urge party members to remain loyal to the president.
Between 2012 and 2017, 35 full and alternate members of the Communist Party's powerful Central Committee have been disciplined, which is as many as in the period between the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 and 2012.
Since the last year's Congress, several officials at or above deputy ministerial level and senior military officials have been investigated or punished, including former Chinese military chief of staff Fang Fenghui and Lu Wei, former deputy head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, as well as vice governors of Shaanxi, Shandong and Jiangxi provinces.
The court heard that between 2002 and a year ago, Sun had taken advantage of his position to seek profits for others and illegally accepted money, according to previous court statements.
Sun was the first serving member of the 25-member politburo to be placed under investigation since Bo Xilai (薄熙來), another former leader of Chongqing, who was jailed for life in 2013.
Previously big-name corrupt officials would have been retired or eased out of office, but Mr Xi has taken a more aggressive approach.
Critics have compared it to a political purge.

Physical rehabilitation focuses on improving muscle (soft tissue) flexibility and strength, joint biomechanics (movement), and proprioception (positional awareness), resulting in increased balance, coordination, kinesthetic awareness, and improved posture. Physical rehabilitation reduces pain and dysfunction by correcting postural and muscle imbalances, eliminating muscle spasms, trigger points, and fibrous tissue adhesions. These all can be achieved through a specific sequence of exercises, manual therapy, and modalities individualized for each patient and their unique condition. Our doctors develop individual treatment plans for each patient's condition.


General Motors is expected to lose the $7500 electric vehicle tax credit in the near future; more specifically, in the first quarter of 2019.
According to Edmunds, the automaker has sold approximately 186,670 examples of the Chevrolet Bolt, Spark, Chevrolet Volt, and Cadillac CT6 plug-in hybrid. As soon as this figure exceeds 200,000, the tax credit will no longer be available.
Despite all the breathless hype of the fanboys here, EVs still represent a TINY portion of automotive sales. The fact is that EVs that cost double of what a comparable ICE vehicle costs will be a tough sell. I believe Porsche and Audi will go gangbusters and that GM, Nissan, and Tesla will stumble.
EV's are a premium, I go so far as to say, novelty product at this point.
Entry level ones will be mostly snapped up by governments (in NYC, I'd say the Parks Department operates the majority of cheap (i.e. non-Tesla) EV's in the 5 boroughs of NYC). NYC Parks has the real estate to set up a charging infrastructure for their fleet of tree huggers who smugly drive around in their EV's.
Real, working people with real lives (i.e. families, road trips, budget constraints, parking issues, etc) will just buy Highlanders and Camry's (or equivalent).
Broncos, Broncos I tell you.
As has been noted before - the Bronco was not a beloved vehicle - it was small - short - jumpy - poor riding - underpowered - ANd ALthough most people who might have owned one are likely not going to buy a new one - I do not see the Bronco as the answer to any question I have seen so far.
AS far as GM and EVs - Tesla and Nissan have the same problem too. AND - they will be at a distinct disadvantage to manufacturers who CAN still offer the buyer a $7500 rebate. While it would not surprise me if trump extended that for American Made vehicles - otherwise it is dead. And GM has NO compelling vehicle that could survive without the rebates.
However - it still has NOT BEEN SHOWN that there is a major market for EV's - and I believe it is minor - not major - at this time.
The answer to your question = No!
The tax credits will still be available- they just start to phase out. The $7500 tax writeoff is good for one financial quarter after the 200,000 unit level is achieved. The amount then becomes $3750 for the next half year, $1875 for the next half year, and then nothing. If GM hits the 200,000 unit in Jan 2019 then the $7500 would be good until June 30, 2019. The until Dec 31 it would be $3750, etc. In the case of Tesla the $7500 is good until Dec 31 2018. You can then write off $3750 if you buy a Tesla until June 30, 2019, etc. So both Tesla and GM still have a year or more of appreciable tax writeoffs... they just start to trail off. The big huge giant oil company tax writeoffs never seem to expire, totalling in the hundreds of Billions $$$. Those oil company execs get their oil drilling tax benefits year after year after year. If the oil companies can get THEIR "welfare" , then the EV industry can too.
The problem with your OIL COmpany argument - is that these are essentially opposing political views - helping Oil Companies is Conservative - and Helping EV buyers is Liberal. Like it or not - we still have a conservative (Certainly not liberal at least) white house for the next two years. Even if the Liberals took the House this fall - they will likely NOT take the Senate at 60 votes (Filibuster level) - leaving no consensus to deal with that notion.
Do the "tax incentives" apply to the BRAND of cars or the Manufacturer overall - I believe the latter to be true - but if it were the Brand - GM could selll Buick EV's - their next model likely will be a Buick.

Before Google or the printed page a trained memory was vitally important and the only way to retain and share knowledge. Across cultures, but particularly in Greece and later Rome, humans created elaborate memory systems known as Mnemonics or memory devices named for the Greek Goddess of memory, Mnemosyne. Based on strategies of association of "places" and "images" with the desired subject to be remembered, these techniques aided in the retention of information and its retrieval.

/ House of Grey: Mothers and Sons
House of Grey: Mothers and Sons
Chapter 3 : Margaret Wotton & Henry Grey, 3rd Marquis of Dorset
Thomas II married sometime early in the reign of Henry VIII. His wife was Margaret Wotton, daughter of a Woodville connection in Kent, and already the widowed mother of a son, George Medley. The couple did not reach his parents' tally of some thirteen children, but managed nine, of whom the eldest son, Henry, was born in 1517. Thomas II was on excellent terms with his cousin, Henry VIII, and young Henry Grey found a place in the household of the king's illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond.
When Thomas II died in 1530, like his father, he reposed his trust in his 'beloved' wife, leaving her not just as executor of his will, but also explicitly stating he wished her to have guardianship of their children. Since Henry, once he attained his majority, would be a tenant-in-chief of the king, he automatically became a ward of the king, and the whole of his inheritance, except for Margaret's jointure could be controlled by the Crown, and potentially awarded to someone outside the family, with no obligations other than the maintenance of the young Henry. Such a course would leave Margaret still liable for Thomas II's bequests, but only her own jointure income to pay for them. She was thus responsible for fulfilling all the family bequests since 1501- those of Thomas I, Cecily, and Thomas II, with no guarantee of any money to pay them, and responsibility for the maintenance of her eight younger children.
Before long, Margaret had another problem, this time caused by young Henry himself. Before his death, Thomas II had agreed a marriage for Henry with Katherine FitzAlan, daughter of the Earl of Arundel. As was typical in this type of agreement, failure to complete the marriage would lead to a financial penalty – in this case, a ruinous 4,000 marks. Henry, however, for reasons that are unknown, refused to marry Katherine when he reached the age of consent (fourteen).
We can imagine Margaret pleading with him – the financial cost of his decision was huge – but to no avail. Her next step was to ask the king to put pressure on her son, which he duly did. Henry reluctantly accepted the king's command, but Arundel then withdrew – if Henry did not want his daughter, then the earl would take the money instead.
Matters seemed to be slightly alleviated when, in 1533, Margaret (to whom the king had granted control of the Grey lands on payment of an annual fee) agreed to sell his wardship to Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Suffolk was an old friend of Thomas II's, and the king's brother-in-law. Suffolk was to pay her £2,000, maintain Henry, and arrange a marriage between Henry and his own daughter, Frances. After the couple were married, Margaret would be responsible for their keep. Relieved that the financial pressure was off, Margaret stopped paying Henry any allowance.
Unfortunately, although Suffolk was as good as his word about arranging the betrothal, he was less forthcoming about Henry's maintenance. Henry blamed his mother for not paying his allowance and the matter was brought before the king's council. The council, rather unfairly on the facts as known, but perhaps privy to other information, insisted Margaret pay for Henry's maintenance. She responded with a barrage of letters to Suffolk and Cromwell, pointing out that she had had an agreement with the former, and requesting the latter to have it enforced.
She also confided in Cromwell that she was worried about Henry's behaviour. Could Cromwell keep an eye on him and if he saw him involved in
'any large [gambling] or great … swearing or any other demeanour unmeet for him to use, which I fear me shall be very often, I pray you, for his father's sake to rebuke him, and if he has any grace, he will be grateful to you when he grows older'.
No doubt the adolescent Henry saw his mother's worrying as tiresome interference, especially now he was a married man – he and Frances were married some time in the summer of 1533. The couple did not immediately have a settled home of their own. Henry was still attached to the court, whilst Frances seems to have spent her time variously with relatives, her family home in Suffolk or at either the Grey or Brandon London homes. It was probably in one of these that she gave birth to her first child, Lady Jane.
In 1538, Henry was declared of age. He now had control of his patrimony, but Margaret was still responsible for the outstanding debts under Thomas II's will. The two continued to quarrel. Margaret wrote to Cromwell again, saying that she was 'trouble[d] not a little' by the rumours of her 'unkindness' to Dorset. She thought them especially unfair considering 'what a good mother [she had] been to him, what pains [she had] sustained and what bonds [she had] brought her friends into for his sake, since … his father's death'.
She thanked Cromwell and Lord Chancellor Audley for their good offices in effecting a reconciliation between her and her son 'although there was nothing between [them they] could not end [themselves, they] were both glad to comply, especially considering the good heart borne by [Cromwell] to [her] late husband'.
Part of this arbitration seems to have been an agreement that Margaret would leave the family home at Bradgate, which Thomas II had allocated to her for her lifetime, to let Henry and Frances occupy it. This was probably no great hardship for Margaret, who spent most of her time at Tilty in Essex, or Ightham Mote in Kent. Nevertheless, even this agreement proved fraught with rancour and bitterness. Henry, having won the point of occupying the family seat, refused to allow Margaret's servants to take away her personal belongings. Henry's reasoning, presumably, was that an agreement for him to occupy Bradgate included its furnishings. That they were arguing over the pots and pans shows just how divided this mother and son had become. Not only that, she despaired to Cromwell, but Henry, despite now having control of the property, was refusing to allow payments of the outstanding bequests of Thomas II and Cecily, so the creditors were hounding Margaret.
In her old age, she said, she found this hard to bear. She was so beset that she did not think she would long keep Henry out of the remainder of his lands. In this, she was proved right – Margaret died in the late summer of 1541. There is no information on whether she and Henry were ever reconciled. It seems unlikely, given the long-standing quarrels, but Henry remained on excellent terms with his siblings, and also his half-brother, George Medley, so perhaps there was some rapprochement.
Having quarrelled so bitterly with his mother, what relationship did Henry have with his own children, particularly his eldest daughter, Lady Jane? To find out, go to the Lady Jane Grey Reference site here.

Tonight...

Todd plays "Black and Yellow" on his piano.
WIZ KHALIFA - "BLACK AND YELLOW"
Todd: Okay, now, I am a pretty focused observer of the pop charts, and when you watch the charts as closely as I do, you get a good feel about what's gonna get big and what's not. But things can still surprise you sometimes. For example, a while back, I encountered a song on the radio called "Ice Cream Paint Job."
Video for Dorrough - "Ice Cream Paint Job"
Dorrough: Cream on the inside clean on the outside
Todd (VO): It was by a guy named Dorrough, and...it was about his car's snazzy paint job. This song has always been in the back of my mind, and I've always been a little fascinated by it because I couldn't help but be completely and utterly baffled by the fact that it was actually getting airplay and made it into the Top 40. And I'm not saying that 'cause it was bad, although...it certainly was bad; and it wasn't because it was too weird to be popular because it was nothing like that at all.
Todd: Let me put it like this.
Clip from Transformers
Todd (VO): I hated the Transformers movie. Hated it, thought it was one of the worst I'd ever seen. I was [cut to Todd on a couch] literally writhing in pain while watching it.
Judy Witwicky: Were you...masturbating?
Sam: No, I don't masturbate!
Todd (on couch): Kill me!!! Kill me!!!
Todd (back to normal): But even though I hated it, I get why Transformers played in my local multiplex, and I get why [poster of...] Transmorphers, while being of roughly the same quality, went straight to DVD. What I mean is, there's the kind of bad that gets popular, and then there's the kind of bad that doesn't, or at least that's what I thought about the world before I heard "Ice Cream Paint Job."
Dorrough: Ice cream paint job, i-ice cream paint job
Todd: Yeah, "Ice Cream Paint Job" was the first song I thought of when I heard this song...
Video for...
Todd (VO): "Black and Yellow" by newcomer Wiz Khalifa—partially 'cause it's on a car's paint job, but also because I couldn't imagine a song like this getting big and I was dead wrong.
Todd: Now, on repeated listen, maybe "Black and Yellow" does not deserve the comparison.
Todd (VO): For one, the production is a billion times better and it has an actual hook. But nonetheless, it still sets off my "why is this popular?" alarm., largely because of the no-name with the microphone.
Todd: Now, this guy is named Wiz Khalifa. What do I know about him? I know that if he's never used the line, [sticker for The Wiz] "Nobody beats the Wiz," in a song, I will be extremely disappointed. Other than that, no clue about him. [long pause] He does not seem to realize that, though.
Wiz Khalifa: Uh huh, you know what it is
Todd: I do?
Wiz: You know what it is
Black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow
Yeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Todd: No, I...I don't know what it is.
Todd (VO): And I don't know who you are, and I don't know what "black and yellow" is supposed to mean.
Wiz: Black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow
Todd: They're, uh...they're colors...I guess.
Wiz: Black stripe, yellow paint
Todd (VO): So...what? So your car's black and yellow.
Todd: Why would you have a whole song about that? The only reason I can think of that I would [Clip from Transformers] care that you had a black-and-yellow car, is if your car was... [A black-and-yellow car becomes Bumblebee] wait.
Todd: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Todd (VO): No, that's not it. [Clip from video for Chris Brown ft. Lil Wayne & Swizz Beatz - "I Can Transform Ya"] One Transformers-themed rap song was enough.
Todd: So "black and yellow" means...what? What are you trying to say? Are you, I don't know, a Steelers fan?
Footage of Wiz at a Steelers game
Todd (VO): Oh, I guess it is right. [Back to video] Specifically, as I have since discovered, he's standing up for his hometown of Pittsburgh, where [logos of the Steelers, Pirates and Penguins] all the major sports teams wear black and yellow. In fact, if you're a fan of both hip-hop and professional sports...
Todd: ...and I assume all of you are...
Footage of the Steelers
Todd (VO): ...you'd know that "Black and Yellow" turned into the unofficial Steelers anthem during their amazing playoff run, making "Black and Yellow" the first real football championship single since "The Super Bowl Shuffle." [Cover of Daily News featuring the Green Bay Packers' victory at the Super Bowl. Losing horns from The Price Is Right play.] Oh, right, except the Steelers lost.
Todd: In fact, Lil Wayne, team-hopper that he is, released a response song called "Green and Yellow" right before the Super Bowl in support of the Packers. Now, I'm not saying that was a factor in the game, but...[balancing it out] Packers had the support of [Rolling Stone cover of...] Lil Wayne, Steelers had the support of [Picture of Wiz] this guy. In retrospect, the results were not all that surprising. But...hey, maybe Pittsburgh can send the song back into circulation if [picture of...] the Penguins make a run for the Stanley Cup, 'cause God knows [Picture of Bob and Doug MacKenzie] hockey fans love their hip-hop. Or they can use the song again if the Pirates go to the World Series this year. [Thinks about it and chuckles at the thought]
Todd (VO): But my issues with the song go beyond just the fact that the Steelers are a bunch of losing losers of losingness. It's also just the fact that it's a rap song about Pittsburgh.
Wiz: Repping my town when you see me you know everything
Todd (VO): Representing your town...
Todd: ...that's...that's...that's sweet. Look, I hate to break it to you, Wiz...[laughs at it] Wiz. Hate to break it to you, Wiz. No one cares about Pittsburgh.
Todd (VO): Think about it. Have you ever heard a single song about Pittsburgh before? No, of course not. [Clip from "Empire State of Mind"] New York is a place you write songs about, or Los Angeles or Chicago or Miami, Las Vegas, Paris, Rome.
Todd: Not Cleveland, not Toronto, and certainly not Pittsburgh. It just doesn't have an identity that people care about. I mean...
Clips from videos for Elton John - "Philadelphia Freedom"; Bruce Springsteen - "Streets of Philadelphia"; MSFB - "T.S.O.P. (The Sound of Philadelphia)"; Neil Young - "Philadelphia"; Boyz II Men - "Motownphilly"
Todd (VO): Look down the street at Philadelphia, which is not high on the list of cities to write music about, but, you know, it does have quite a few very good songs written about it. I mean, come on. [Clip of Billy Joel - ...] Allentown had a hit song before you guys did.
Todd: Now granted, I've never been to Pittsburgh. Maybe I should bring in somebody who actually knows something about the place before I judge it. Who do I know from Pennsylvania? [Pulls out a book] Let's pull out the Channel Awesome directory over here. God, there's a lot of people on this site. Chris Larios—Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Never heard of him. But we'll give him a call. [Reaches into pocket] Let's see...
Rollo T: [answering phone] Ahoy-hoy.
Todd: Hey, Chris?
Rollo T: Yeah.
Todd: You live in Pennsylvania, right? What do you think about Pittsburgh?
Rollo T: Pittsburgh, eh? Let me tell you about Pittsburgh. It's just as filthy and disgusting as Philadelphia, but without any of the historical significance.
Todd: Well...yeah, but you know, it is a big city. I'm sure they've got their good parts...
Rollo T: What other city is gonna take a rapist quarterback and treat him like a national treasure?
Todd: Well...to be fair to the guy, I mean, he wasn't actually charged with...
Rollo T: It's filled with nothing but bandwagon Steelers fans. Ask them to name a starting player on their defensive line, they're like, "but I thought Ben Roethlisberger throw touchdown pass to Troy Polamalu."
Todd: Okay, well thanks for your input, Chris. It was good to talk to you...
Rollo T: They don't even have the decency to have cheesesteaks. They have Pittsburgh sandwiches, which are just regular sandwiches, but with fries on them.
Todd: That doesn't sound so bad, actually.
Rollo T: See, that's not a cultural delicacy. That's just what happens when the waitress drops your carryout order.
Todd: Okay, well, I'm gonna go now, Chris.
Rollo T: Oh, and speaking of the Steelers and bad food, what's up with Blitzburgh Crunch?
Todd: Chris, I'm hanging up now.
Rollo T: What's up with their silent "H"? [Todd hangs up] Hello?
Todd: Geez. That was a little harsh. You know what? I kinda feel bad now. You know, Pittsburgh can't be that bad. I mean, you know what city sucks? [Image of United States with arrow pointing to Bumfuck Nowhere, VA] Mine. This place is boring as hell; at least Pittsburgh's an actual big city with people and culture and stuff. You know, I don't have room to judge; I think Pittsburgh is awesome. You know what, you tell 'em, Wiz. Steel City represent!
Wiz: Soon as I hit the club look at them hoes face
Hit the pedal once make the floor shake
Todd: Uh-huh?
Wiz: I let her get high, she want and she feel that, convertible drop fill, 87 the top peel
Wiz: Got a pocket full of big faces
Throw it up 'cause everybody that I'm with tailored
Todd: This doesn't have a goddamn thing to do with Pittsburgh, does it?
Todd (VO): Okay, you know what? I'm sorry, the whole video is about Pittsburgh The chorus is about Pittsburgh, the freaking title is about Pittsburgh, and he can't think of a single thing to say about the city itself?! Wow, Pittsburgh really must suck. Way to represent, Khalifa. No wonder I couldn't figure out what "black and yellow" meant. Oh, but the song does mention that Wiz Khalifa has money, cars and hos.
Todd: That's right—he talks about the things other rappers don't have the balls to.
Todd (VO): No, he doesn't actually talk about anything you haven't heard a billion times before. But he does distinguish himself by not being very good at it. I don't even think he knows what a rapper's supposed to do.
Wiz: Hear them haters talk but there's nothing you can tell 'em
Todd: Shouldn't there be?
Todd (VO): I mean, you're sure you don't wanna try and rebut the haters? I mean, hell, you're a rapper, that's your entire job!
Wiz: Got a call from my jeweler, this just in
Women love me 'cause I'm messing with their best friends
Todd: What? Now how does that make any sense? Why would she be happy if you're having sex with her best friend....oh...oh. I get what you're saying. That's what she's into, huh? Doesn't mind a little extra company in the bedroom? More the merrier, am I right? Nothing wrong with a little girl-on-girly action going. Hell yeah, you lucky son-of-a-bit...
Wiz: Not a lesbian
Todd: Huh.
Wiz: Not a lesbian but she a freak though
Todd (VO): That whole part is just...awkward. I guess he's trying to assure us that his girl is still into guys, but it comes off as weirdly defensive. Like, no one said she was a lesbian, dude. Where the hell did that come from?
Todd: My girl's hot! She doesn't have herpes. [Long pause] What?
Wiz: nothing you can tell 'em
Just made a million, got another million on my schedule
Todd: Yeah, you go right ahead and schedule that. It's good to plan ahead. And you might as well spend it right away since it's already scheduled because stock in Wiz Khalifa Industries is gonna do nothing but rise. No, I hate it when rappers do that.
Todd (VO): You can't brag about being rich and successful when this is your first released single. Now that just annoys the hell out of me. And no, you can't just say, "well, everybody does it." Eminem didn't, 50 Cent didn't.
Todd: They started rapping about being dead broke. Better that than being blatantly full of crap and recycling cliches. I mean, we have run out of good ways to rap about being rich. All that's left is stupidity like this.
Wiz: I'm sipping cleeko and rocking yellow diamonds
So many rocks up in the watch I can't tell what the time is
Todd: Then it's a bad watch. You really sure you wanna brag about carrying around a crappy, useless watch? Geez, this guy. How much you wanna bet his fancy, pimped-out car he keeps talking about doesn't [picture of stripped car on cinder blocks] have any tires? Oh, and speaking of his car.
Wiz: No love for 'em while I'm breaking hearts
No keys, push to start
Todd: Keyless, huh? Got that, everybody? His car is flashy, expensive, [article about car theft: "Cars that have keyless entry [...] are in the most jeopardy.] and easy to steal. But I'm sure he doesn't have to worry about that kind of thing on the safe, affluent streets of Pittsburgh.
Wiz: Stay fly like...
Todd: a G6?
Wiz: ...like I'm supposed to do
Todd (VO): Oh, sorry. Carry on.
Wiz: And my car look unapproachable
[Todd sits]
And my car look unapproachable
Todd plays fanfare for...FINISH THE RHYME
Todd: I'm not even playing this time. I'm not gonna do it. There's no point. 'Cause I don't even know what's gonna happen. Nothing rhymes with that. What is he gonna put there? Coachable? Poachable? No. He's either gonna rhyme it with itself, or he's gonna come up with this horrible forced rhyme that won't fit at all unless he twists the words beyond recognition. So let's see it. Let's see what he does. Rhyme that shit. Go on.
Super clean but its super mean
She wanna ride with them cats, count stacks, get fly, take trips and that's that
Todd: [long pause, then claps] Bravo, sir. Bra-vo.
Todd (VO): Didn't even try. Wow. Wow. I had not even considered that as a possibility. Abandon the rhyme scheme entirely. Clogged toilets have better flow than this guy.
Ya'll already know what it is, man
If you don't, you should by now
Todd (VO): Yeah, I guess I should, considering you repeated "black and yellow" five billion times. You know, this guy's supposed to be the hot, new, up-and-coming rapper, but I don't see it. Maybe he's more interesting in other songs, but on the basis of this, he's just a boring T.I. wannabe. The catchy hook is doing all the work for him 'cause he doesn't have a single noteworthy line, and he doesn't have an especially compelling delivery. Oh, and here's a hint—when your name is Wiz, yellow is a color you should be trying to avoid.
Todd: And regardless, I'm still not convinced that an economically depressed, working-class town like Pittsburgh deserves some opulent money-cash-hos anthem dedicated to it. Now, you know where in Pennsylvania does deserve a rap song? Scranton.
Clip from The Office with Michael and Dwight rapping
Michael: They call it Scranton!
Dwight: What?!
Michael: The Electric City! Scranton!
Michael: The Electric City!
Todd: I'm Todd In The Shadows—I listen to it 'cause you don't want to, and I'm out.
Closing tag song: Michael and Dwight - "Lazy Scranton"
"Black and Yellow" is owned by Atlantic Records
[continued over end card]
Michael: Because of the electricity
The city's laid out from east to west
And our public parks and libraries are truly the...
Wiz: I hear they're scared of it but them pros ain't
Todd: You know who else wasn't scared of it? The Packers. Burn!

Then the dead person's heart was weighed on a pair of scales, against the goddess Maatwho embodied truth and justice. Endspiel deutschland fand ein paar Seiten des " Buches der Toten ".
Some of the spells introduced at this time claim an older provenance; for instance the rubric to spell 30B states that it was discovered by the Prince Hordjedef in the reign of King Menkaure , many hundreds of years before it is attested in the archaeological record.
By the 17th dynasty , the Book of the Dead had become widespread not only for members of the royal family, but courtiers and other officials as well.
At this stage, the spells were typically inscribed on linen shrouds wrapped around the dead, though occasionally they are found written on coffins or on papyrus.
The New Kingdom saw the Book of the Dead develop and spread further. From this period onward the Book of the Dead was typically written on a papyrus scroll, and the text illustrated with vignettes.
During the 19th dynasty in particular, the vignettes tended to be lavish, sometimes at the expense of the surrounding text.
In the Third Intermediate Period , the Book of the Dead started to appear in hieratic script, as well as in the traditional hieroglyphics.
The hieratic scrolls were a cheaper version, lacking illustration apart from a single vignette at the beginning, and were produced on smaller papyri.
At the same time, many burials used additional funerary texts, for instance the Amduat. During the 25th and 26th dynasties , the Book of the Dead was updated, revised and standardised.
Spells were consistently ordered and numbered for the first time. In the Late period and Ptolemaic period , the Book of the Dead remained based on the Saite recension, though increasingly abbreviated towards the end of the Ptolemaic period.
The last use of the Book of the Dead was in the 1st century BCE, though some artistic motifs drawn from it were still in use in Roman times.
The Book of the Dead is made up of a number of individual texts and their accompanying illustrations. Most sub-texts begin with the word ro, which can mean "mouth," "speech," "spell," "utterance," "incantation," or "a chapter of a book.
At present, some spells are known, [15] though no single manuscript contains them all. They served a range of purposes. Some are intended to give the deceased mystical knowledge in the afterlife, or perhaps to identify them with the gods: Still others protect the deceased from various hostile forces or guide him through the underworld past various obstacles.
Famously, two spells also deal with the judgement of the deceased in the Weighing of the Heart ritual. Such spells as 26—30, and sometimes spells 6 and , relate to the heart and were inscribed on scarabs.
The texts and images of the Book of the Dead were magical as well as religious. Magic was as legitimate an activity as praying to the gods, even when the magic was aimed at controlling the gods themselves.
The act of speaking a ritual formula was an act of creation; [20] there is a sense in which action and speech were one and the same thing. Hieroglyphic script was held to have been invented by the god Thoth , and the hieroglyphs themselves were powerful.
Written words conveyed the full force of a spell. The spells of the Book of the Dead made use of several magical techniques which can also be seen in other areas of Egyptian life.
A number of spells are for magical amulets , which would protect the deceased from harm. In addition to being represented on a Book of the Dead papyrus, these spells appeared on amulets wound into the wrappings of a mummy.
Other items in direct contact with the body in the tomb, such as headrests, were also considered to have amuletic value.
Almost every Book of the Dead was unique, containing a different mixture of spells drawn from the corpus of texts available. For most of the history of the Book of the Dead there was no defined order or structure.
The spells in the Book of the Dead depict Egyptian beliefs about the nature of death and the afterlife. The Book of the Dead is a vital source of information about Egyptian beliefs in this area.
One aspect of death was the disintegration of the various kheperu , or modes of existence. Mummification served to preserve and transform the physical body into sah , an idealised form with divine aspects; [29] the Book of the Dead contained spells aimed at preserving the body of the deceased, which may have been recited during the process of mummification.
The ka , or life-force, remained in the tomb with the dead body, and required sustenance from offerings of food, water and incense.
In case priests or relatives failed to provide these offerings, Spell ensured the ka was satisfied. It was the ba , depicted as a human-headed bird, which could "go forth by day" from the tomb into the world; spells 61 and 89 acted to preserve it.
An akh was a blessed spirit with magical powers who would dwell among the gods. The nature of the afterlife which the dead person enjoyed is difficult to define, because of the differing traditions within Ancient Egyptian religion.
In the Book of the Dead , the dead were taken into the presence of the god Osiris , who was confined to the subterranean Duat.
There are also spells to enable the ba or akh of the dead to join Ra as he travelled the sky in his sun-barque, and help him fight off Apep. There are fields, crops, oxen, people and waterways.
The deceased person is shown encountering the Great Ennead , a group of gods, as well as his or her own parents. While the depiction of the Field of Reeds is pleasant and plentiful, it is also clear that manual labour is required.
For this reason burials included a number of statuettes named shabti , or later ushebti. The path to the afterlife as laid out in the Book of the Dead was a difficult one.
The deceased was required to pass a series of gates, caverns and mounds guarded by supernatural creatures. Their names—for instance, "He who lives on snakes" or "He who dances in blood"—are equally grotesque.
These creatures had to be pacified by reciting the appropriate spells included in the Book of the Dead ; once pacified they posed no further threat, and could even extend their protection to the dead person.
If all the obstacles of the Duat could be negotiated, the deceased would be judged in the "Weighing of the Heart" ritual, depicted in Spell The deceased was led by the god Anubis into the presence of Osiris.
There, the dead person swore that he had not committed any sin from a list of 42 sins , [44] reciting a text known as the "Negative Confession".
Maat was often represented by an ostrich feather, the hieroglyphic sign for her name. If the scales balanced, this meant the deceased had led a good life.
Anubis would take them to Osiris and they would find their place in the afterlife, becoming maa-kheru , meaning "vindicated" or "true of voice".
This scene is remarkable not only for its vividness but as one of the few parts of the Book of the Dead with any explicit moral content. The judgment of the dead and the Negative Confession were a representation of the conventional moral code which governed Egyptian society.
For every "I have not John Taylor points out the wording of Spells 30B and suggests a pragmatic approach to morality; by preventing the heart from contradicting him with any inconvenient truths, it seems that the deceased could enter the afterlife even if their life had not been entirely pure.
A Book of the Dead papyrus was produced to order by scribes. They were commissioned by people in preparation for their own funeral, or by the relatives of someone recently deceased.
