The sad end of a hero
By: Gilda Cordero-Fernando Philippine Daily Inquirer / 04:30 AM June 24, 2012
SCULPTURE by Roberto B. Feleo
When someone told Dr. Joven Cuanang that I had held my own wake, he said, tongue-in-cheek, as usual, "Tell her if she decides to ascend, I will supply the crane and the choir. I'm serious."
Lumabat
Well, doc, there's a probable ascension here—only it's not mine. You're an art lover so you may want to witness the rescue of a beautiful sculpture (in cast resin) of the Bagobo divinity, Lumabat. He has outstretched arms, like a crucified Christ, but he is actually a pagan god. He holds aloft what looks like a serpent, but its sculptor, Bob Feleo, says "it represents the horizon."
Lumabat was one of the culture heroes who went to heaven without having to die. How? The Bagobos believe there's a secret entrance to heaven and it's through the horizon which is believed to have giant jaws that chomp up and down. If you're quick, like Lumabat was, you could crawl through the aperture without becoming minced meat. Lumabat got through all right and that's how he became a god.
The sculpture hung by its arms from a huge flowering tree in our garden. When a big typhoon came, one of his wrists slid from its moorings and Lumabat crashed right on the hard piedra china walk. The fall shattered his jaw and one foot. Lumabat had been like a member of our family for a long time. We were devastated. We even gave him a proper burial.
Like all our art pieces, Lumabat's delivery from Bob Feleo's furnace had been welcomed with a created ritual. I think it was chanting, which old people and young people joined. There was incense burning all over the garden. We wore bits and pieces of Bagobo costumes from my baul. He was installed with all the pomp and circumstance of a chief on the biggest branch of that tree. The witnesses shared bread afterwards.
Most of the artworks in the house had been given a rite of passage. The mural of Elmer Borlongan that was to go in my room, was escorted with much reverence from the truck to its site. On its inauguration, the door to my room was completely sealed with Manila paper on which all the guests had signed their names with crayolas. Like a ribbon-cutting, the paper was to be cut open only when everyone was ready to come in. Coke Bolipata played his violin, standing on a stone bench in the garden. It was a musical evening.

Other new paintings we had danced to in welcome. Another time we had an interaction sketching session. The gift of a quarter moon mirror (from Ernest Santiago) was celebrated by covering it with several pieces of ethnic cloth and different guests unveiled it. When our artist-designed bathroom was inaugurated, Lourd de Veyra sat on the toilet bowl playing a Radioactive Sago Project composition on his guitar. I like every art milestone in our lives to become indelible.
My neighbor, my son's wife, Lilli-Ann, seems to be on the same wave length as I. She collects artworks but grander than mine. She has always said that acquiring art is like an addiction. That was why Lumabat's remains had to be exhumed. Lilli-Ann missed him. She had heard the sculpture crash in the middle of the big typhoon and never forgot it.
We had buried Lumabat properly, with the family around the grave in the middle of the garden. (Even my husband, who had been startled by the floating presence on the tree every time he emerged from his room, missed him). Lumabat was buried, arms outstretched (resin cannot fold). His grave was therefore shaped like a cross. Maybe a century after my death, I used to think, when another owner of this property excavates the burial spot to dig foundations for some new structure, they will be shocked to find this mysterious undecaying artifact with rigid open arms. It used to make me chuckle. But it was not to be. Barely five years later, which is now, Lumabat was already being exhumed. Lilli-Ann wanted him restored and reinstalled in another part of the garden.
And so out emerged the fallen god, all muddied, and to my great dismay, more damaged than ever I remembered him. Not only his jaw, it turned out, but his whole face, with the exception of the beautiful eyes, was hopelessly cracked. The arms were still stiffly outstretched, still had the tiny wings, but the hands were detached, as was the remaining foot with toes intact. The serpent-shaped horizon was broken in two. The torso was cruelly separated from its lower limbs. No plastic surgeon or caster could ever put Humpty Dumpty together again.
I invited its sculptor, Bob Feleo, for a final verdict on the pitiful remains. We had washed the parts as Lumabat's ancestors would have cleaned his bones in the mythical age. Bob shook his head sadly and suggested a reburial.
"But wait!" Lilli-Ann says, "Save the torso! Bury the lower part only." (Halved like despised aswang!?) "I will plant flowering vines on the upper part and they will creep out of the eyes and the mouth and be very beautiful!"
So, doc Cuanang, there will be no ascension. Save your crane and your choir. Lumabat will just have to have an extended life as a trial flower pot!

Samsung Galaxy A3 is a relatively new Android based device – the smartphone was officially released last year in December. However, the A3 is still running Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS, which means that Lollipop is just around the corner. So, since the Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA update will be soon released, you might want to learn all the possible ways in which you can update your Samsung Galaxy A3.
If so, you are in the right place as during the guidelines from below I will teach you everything that's related to the update procedure in term of applying the OTA release, manually flashing the stock Android firmware via Odin or even installing a custom ROM firmware like CM 12, AOKP or ParanoidAndroid.
But, let's take each update operation separately in order to see how to make things properly. Thus, first of all we have the OTAs releases. These updates can be easily applied on your Galaxy A3. All you have to do is to wait for the official notification and from that point you can already consider your phone updated. Anyhow, the OTA roll outs are usually provided in phases or gradually, so not all the A3 devices will receive the notification at the same time. That means you might want to skip the wait.
Another thing that's related to OTA updates: you can apply it only if your Galaxy A3 is on stock KitKat OS and only if your phone isn't rooted. Else, your device will not recognize any further notifications. Therefore, here we are facing a problem, which can be easily resolved by choosing to manually flash the official Android OS through Odin. So, Odin can be used for installing the same OTA firmware but in a manual matter. Basically, you have to download the Android OS and flash the software package on your Galaxy A3 via Odin.
By choosing this operation you can therefore skip the OTA wait and also you can update a rooted device with an official firmware. Of course, root access will be then revoked, so after completing the update process you will have to find a new root solution to apply on the new Lollipop (for example) system.
Now, using Odin for flashing the stock Android OS is also important from another perspective. Let's say you have completed a custom operation on your Galaxy A3 and now your phone is dealing with various software related issues. What can you do for fixing your Android device? Well, you can downgrade it to stock Android OS, as by doing so all malicious programs will be removed since your device will be restored back to stock and back to its initial state. Thus, use Odin if you want to manual troubleshoot issues like boot loops, lags, bugs, force close, errors, alerts, screen freeze, battery drain, heating situations, or total blackouts.
As you can already tell, both operations are official ones as in both cases you are using the stock and official Android OS. Well, the same can't be applied when we talk about a custom ROM firmware. These updates represents free aftermarket distributions of Android system and they are usually developed and offered by third party devs – don't associate these updates with Samsung or with Google. Now, because of that, if you choose to install a custom ROM firmware on your Galaxy A3, be prepared to lose your phone's warranty.
Note that the warranty will be void so you will no longer be able to reclaim the same. For example, if afterwards, you manage to brick your Galaxy A3, taking your phone back to service will imply in paying for the technical assistance. Thus, using Odin, as already explained, will be once more a valid solution as in that way you can fix your device by yourselves.
Well, why using a custom ROM firmware? Basically because the custom Android ports brings lot more to your phone than stock releases. Thus, with a custom ROM installed, your Samsung Galaxy A3 might run better and faster. Usually the custom updates comes with features that cannot be found on the default Android system, these features being then used for improving the performances of your Android smartphone; in that matter you can now consider in speed up in phone, improve its battery life and in customizing other general performances. Also, with a custom ROM you can test Android firmwares ahead of official release.
Now, before considering in applying an update (especially when talking about custom ROMs) a backup operation should be completed. You see, during the flashing process, your personal data, info and accounts that are saved on the internal storage memory of your Galaxy A3 might get wiped out or corrupted. So, you can just lose everything that's important for you. Therefore, before doing anything else, use compatible backup and restore apps and save your contacts, call logs, texts, images, videos, audio files, internet settings, EFS folder and so on.
A computer (powered by Windows) will have to be used as on the same you will download the required files.
Your Samsung Galaxy A3 and your phone's USB cable will be required because you will eventually have to establish a connection between your handset and your computer.
A good idea will be to temporarily deactivate security protection from your computer. In rare situations users reported that antivirus and similar programs interfered with Odin or with the download process.
On your device USB debugging must be checked; but before doing so you need to gain developer rights on your phone, so go to "menu – settings – about phone" and tap several times on built number. Then, enable USB debugging from "menu – settings – developer options".
Check the battery status on your A3 before going any further. If the power left is currently lower than 60%, before starting the update process, plug in the charger – if your phone will get stuck or turned off in the middle of the update operation, your device might also get bricked.
First of all, check if there is any notification spotted on your Galaxy A3.
Just slide down the Notification Panel as the notification will be displayed there.
You can also manually check for OTAs by going to "menu – settings – about phone – software version – check for updates".
If the OTA is available, before doing anything else, enable a WiFi connection.
Then follow on screen prompts and install the firmware – your phone will reboot several times during the flashing process, but the OS will be updated automatically.
First, on your computer download Odin and Samsung KIES.
Unzip Odin and install the program; also install Samsung KIES.
Then, on your computer download the stock Android OS for your Galaxy A3 (you can get the update from SamMobile, or from any other source you want).
Unzip the update package on desktop.
Use Samsung KIES and install Galaxy A3 USB drivers on your computer.
Now, enter your A3 in download mode and on your computer run Odin.
Connect your smartphone with your PC – on Odin now the "added" message will be displayed while the ID:COM section will turn yellow or blue.
Don't make any other changes and click on "start".
Wait while the ROM is being automatically flashed – the process will end when on Odin the "pass" message will be displayed and when the ID:COM section will turn green.
Unplug the USB cable and reboot your Galaxy A3.
If you want to update your Galaxy A3 with a custom ROM, first you have to root your phone.
Also, on your device you need to flash a custom recovery image such as CWM or TWRP recovery.
Moreover, I recommend you to use this recovery image for making a Nandroid backup – in this way you can save and also restore the current firmware that runs on your device.
Good; now on your computer download the custom ROM software that you want to install on your Galaxy A3.
Don't unzip the update package just save it on desktop.
Transfer the downloaded file on your phone's SD card and in the end, unplug the USB cord.
Turn off your phone and enter your A3 in recovery mode.
From recovery make a hard reset and then clear cache: select "wipe data factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and "wipe dalvick cache".
When done, return to main menu of recovery and from there select "install zip from SD card" and "choose zip from SD card".
Wait while the ROM is being flashed and when done, from main menu of recovery choose "reboot system now".
Good job; now you know how to properly update your Samsung Galaxy A3 whether it is about an OTA release, or about manual update procedures such as using Odin or a custom ROM firmware. Thus, you are now prepared for Lollipop and other further OS improvements. Do tell us how things worked for you and also share your experience with other users by using the comments field from below.

Singko-Worthy Service: UPLB admin's handling of MRR/Re-ad cases
by Aesha Sarrol
With the highest number of disapproved Maximum Residence Rule (MRR) and readmission appeals across the University of the Philippines System, the UPLB administration has long been criticized for its indifference towards its primary constituents, the students. MRR indicates that students who fail to finish the requirements of a degree program within a certain period of time, equivalent to one and a half times the normal length of the course, shall not be allowed to register in that college, however, under some circumstances, extension of residency is granted.
Readmission, as stated in Article 389 of the UP Code, refers to the process by which students who were dismissed due to failed subjects, double probation, leave of absence (LOA), etc. are trying to continue their education. For years, these students are given the bare minimum whenever they heed for solutions regarding their cases; students argue that unjust policies regarding processing appeals are set in place and their right to education is impeded by an absentee administration.
Last February 3, 2020 students from UPLB gathered at the University of the Philippines Diliman to shed light on the numerous MRR and re-ad cases in the constituent campus. UP President Danilo Concepion agreed to meet with the said students in order to grasp their demands. The students called for mass approval to all appeals but were quickly turned down stating that only the extension of the deadline in processing was approved, denying the assurance that all who submitted appeals are automatically given exemption. Students brought up concerns such as the irregular basis in admission, wherein the UPLB admin is evidently selective in choosing which appeals are to be granted and a templated letter that provides no concrete reasons as to why there was a disapproval of qualification after they submitted requirements. The students requested for a meeting with the Board of Regents (BOR), the highest decision-making body of the UP System, to voice out their concerns and to demand solutions, however, was denied because the BOR did not want to undermine the independent authority of constituent units in handling these cases.

In a promised dialogue with Concepcion on February 20, the University Student Council (USC) reiterated their call for mass approval regarding appeals but was answered by, "Pag bumabagsak ng napakatagal ay babagsak ang kalidad ng standards ng ating university." (Read: UPLB students confront UP President over reg concerns). Students asserted that academic excellence is not the only factor in determining a student's capacity in learning as others face difficulty in coping with external factors such as mental health and financial capabilities. They also stated the burden of seasonal subjects, as these are only offered in specific semesters, on top with the inefficient Student Academic Information System (SAIS) used in enrolling academic units.
The UPLB admin was also reprimanded by various students for its discriminatory memorandum releases concerning MRR and re-ad affairs. On February 12, the Office of the Chancellor (OC) released Memorandum No. 30 which prohibits unregistered students from attending classes, barred them from receiving lessons and accomplishing requirements needed for the subject. Chancellor Fernando Sanchez defended that it was only in accordance with Article 330 of the UP Code stating that persons not duly matriculated may not be admitted to class. It was not after the dialogue that the memorandum was withdrawn and was replaced with Memorandum No. 36 allowing students to attend their classes while their appeals are ongoing. USC also called to "stop and review" the university MRR policy in which students cannot apply for MRR after a certain duration and cannot apply for Re-ad for the second time.
Sanchez also declared that he has already approved 76 out of 185 cases but it opposes the real number of 600+ cases presented in a dialogue between the USC and the UPLB admin last 2018. Julieta Delos Reyes, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, shared that in one weekend, she interviewed more than 500 students and said "Sobrang bulk ng papeles na pumapasok sa amin. It's useless to interview." It is worth noting that back in 2018, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Portia Lapitan, confessed that they rely on gut feeling in order to identify students who were worth interviewing. This manifests the admin's disservice towards its main constituents and their insensitivity when it comes to matters involving the lives of students. Even after hearing concerns, there were still no concrete plans and progress regarding the cases; dialogues meant to address and provide solutions turned into a manifestation of the admin's indifference towards the students.
On April 16, UP President Concepcion issued the "UP System Policy On The Second Semester AY 2020-2021 In The Time of Covid-19" for the upcoming academic year guidelines but there were no mentioned developments about the pending cases of MRR and readmission. With the recent student town hall meeting held on June 29, Cynthia Bautista, Vice President of Academic Affairs, said that rules on MRR and readmission for the second semester of AY 2019-2020 are lifted, however, when asked about current cases, she affirmed that it was brought back to the University Council (UC), the same local constituent council spearheaded by Chancellor Sanchez and that they would decide on the matter. Passed from office to office, the growing anxiety of students from the lack of assurance of being able to register is aggravated by the admin's absence in prioritizing their concerns.

Various efforts such as conducting interviews and online mobilizations to make everyone aware of the dire situation concerning cases of MRR and re-ad were also set in motion as well as countless dialogues with the administration. USC Councilor Gelo Aurigue said, "The administration, both UP and UPLB, has been out of touch, disrespectful, and inconsiderate to the students and we've been pressuring them even before classes started on 2nd [semester Academic Year (AY)] 2019-2020 yet they never understood the gravity of the situation of those students struggling. With their anxieties peaking because of the administration moving at a glacial pace. Inabot na ng covid at lahat. It's enraging and we will continue to assert our right to education and fight alongside the students who are continuously being victimized by this administration's heartless bureaucracy."
The USC, on July 10, sent a letter to the OC to request that matters regarding MRR and readmission appeals of students be included in the agenda of the UC meeting and that there should be student representation. However, no response was made by the OC. According to the USC, it was only acknowledged during the UC meeting with the Committee on Student Progress (CSP) declaring the admin's disapproval of MRR-readmission appeals; as of writing, there are no concrete reasons yet as to why they have come to this conclusion. The students are stripped of their rights from receiving genuine education and the admin has shifted to callous bureaucracy yet again.
Faculty members talked about the concerns of the student body but were told that they should instead raise their questions and comments during the Other Matters (OMs) part of the meeting; only for the admin to end the meeting before the agenda was even brought up, causing distress among the faculty members asserting the rights of the students. The admin did not only ignore concerns but also deliberately overlooked the gravity of the situation. It is ironic that a meeting intended to address faculty and student affairs is lacking student representatives who are directly affected by its ending decisions.
Collective Struggles
Students, with MRR and readmission cases, suffer from continuous mistreatment as they are not prioritized and tended by the university. Some students only need to complete 1 unit and their manuscripts for their thesis yet are denied approval. There are also cases of late processing where students passed the required documents and appealed for more than two times but were disapproved. This is clear evidence that the admin does not address the issues at hand and instead opts for student abandonment.
When asked about the difficulties of being an MRR student, Leslie*, a student from the College of Arts and Science (CAS), shared, "Nung una syempre breakdowns. Lalo na halos kakastart ko lang mag meds nun kaya hirap po icontrol talaga. Nagtatry po ako sumama pa rin non sa mga mob for the cause pero grabe po yung effect afterwards. Tapos lumalala rin due to the ECQ kasi parang naisangtabi na lang yung cases namin. Madalas iniisip ko ano gagawin ko if di na ako nakabalik, ang dami kong nasayang na oras. Minsan gusto ko nalang mawala because of the shame plus the anger na hindi fair yung treament nila sa lahat ng nag aapply." She also said that, currently, she is just focusing on online jobs in order to forget her hopeless situation.
Worsened by the ongoing pandemic, some students act as the breadwinner of their families and would risk having no income if they ever leave their job for an empty promise. Mobility is also limited due to the imposed quarantine making it harder for these students to process their appeals and requirements. There are no developments so they are forced to stay home, powerless, with the added pressure from their parents and relatives. Future job applications are also stained because of recorded academic history. However, there are no concrete plans from the admin which causes unrest among students who are making ends meet by working and studying at the same time.
Inefficient processing and the rigid selectivity of the admin in granting appeals blocks these students from exercising the liberty of education, a basic right of every Filipino. The refusal of the admin in heeding the demand of the students is an indication of a community thrived by insensitivity; prolonged repression turns the institution into a university that upholds academic excellence at the expense of its students.
Fight for Genuine Education
RA 10931 or the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act is a law mandated to provide free education for public Filipino students; it includes state universities and colleges (SUCs), such as UP, and administers selective educational programs. Unfortunately, students with pending cases cannot avail the free tuition law because as stated in Section 6, students who fail to complete their bachelor's degree or comparable undergraduate degree within a year after the period prescribed in their program are not eligible. These students, therefore, are charged with tuition fees determined by the university board. Since not all students have the financial capacity, some are forced to look for jobs that would provide them income to be able to pay the required tuition fees and to be able to afford basic necessities. However, at some point, the burden becomes unbearable resulting in severe circumstances. In the year 2013, Kristel Tejada, a behavioral sciences student from UP Manila, took her own life because of the merciless policies implemented by the university system. Unfortunately, she did not meet the "no late payment" policy, which forced her to file for LOA; this policy directs professors to prevent students who failed to make payments from entering their classes. It is appalling that the "university for the masses" does not treat financial capacity as a factor in tempering stringent protocols.

Rise for Education – UPLB (R4E), a progressive alliance that advocates for accessible quality education, said, "Albeit some argue that education is "free" because of RA 10931 or the Universal Access to Tertiary Education Act, the fact remains that this is very much limited. First, students still pay for everything other than tuition, and this would include purchasing of lab equipment, books, references, dorms — which are all expenses related to our education. Second, post-graduate students and those who exceed the maximum residency still pay for their tuition and other school fees, and all other expenses." R4E also added that the disapproval of MRR and Readmission appeals is a violation of academic freedom and the university's principles. They stressed that it goes against the UP Code which emphasizes that students must not be denied admission no matter the circumstances. They stated that the disapproval is also a violation of a constitutionally- guaranteed right to education as the administration deprives a lot of students from pursuing their dreams because they fail to recognize financial and emotional problems. R4E asserted, "Despite the anti-student nature of the administration, the alliance remains firm in forwarding its call to approve all appeals. Education is a right. Hence, it must not be treated as a commodity that people purchase; it should be afforded by everyone. The fight for free education will not be over until students, regardless of number, are made to pay for their right to education."
Searching for a pro-student chancellor
In accordance with the UP Office of the President's Administrative Order No. PDLC 20-20, the UPLB OC announced Memorandum No. 104 s. 2020, which aims to search for the next Chancellor of the constituent university (CU). Incumbent Chancellor Sanchez's term will officially end on October 31, 2020 and the last day to submit nominations for Chancellorship is on July 31.
This implies that if not solved within the next few months, transitioning from chancellor to chancellor will only leave MRR and readmission students in limbo as their cases would be set aside yet again. Being the highest decision-making official in the campus, the next chancellor should be chosen rigorously to minimize administrative faults. There is now a sense of urgency to elect a chancellor that is not only qualified based on credentials but is also considerate and capable enough to address issues firsthand.
The UPLB admin should be held accountable for their actions and should approve all appeals. This will defeat the perception that students with appeals are just a bunch of stacked up paperwork; on the contrary, these are real individuals whose futures are at stake and should be given utmost priority because above all, no student should be left behind. [P]
ERRATUM: Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) Cynthia Bautista said that rules on MRR and readmission are lifted for the second semester of AY 2019-2020, not AY 2020-2021. We've since edited the post.

They knew about it in 1958. What? About Trump… the Wall… it all. Think it's a joke? Maybe. But watch this eerily foreshadowy clip, and ask yourself what the protagonist asked the 'authorities'… What are YOU gonna do about Trump?!
Wonder how he really feels. Joking! There is no doubt about Reich's position on President Trump's performance and his place among the ranks of U.S. Presidents throughout the country's history.
Y'all ever check out a video or three from uber-Conservative cute-but-ugly-talking 'girl gone viral' Tomi Lahren. Well, she's usually the one calling out the wrongdoers and the waah-waah crybabies on The Left (Progressives, Liberals, Democrats, folks who disagree with her views). But here she is in the 'victim' role… again. Charlemagne Tha God might have found cause to make a case 'for' her a while back, but check out The Breakdown that Hasan Piker puts on her… and The President.
Our wetboy president Donald J. Trump showed more compassion to Tomi Lahren getting water thrown at her than victims of school shootings and the waffle house hero. Hasan Piker breaks down why Conservatives who spread hate speech whine about oppression at the first sight of backlash.
Oh, and Piker points and fires off on some other hot topics, like the NFL's stand against #TakeAKnee (we posted on here).
Nope. Not a joke. Yep. The President of the United States said this. Now, I am not one to clown far-out ideas. And this idea the President kind of 'stumbled upon' is not really all that far out. Of course, he might have a wee bit more credibility if he still had the mega-billionaire futurist Elon Musk at his side. You know, the guy who is actually putting his own money and rep on deep space travel (e.g. the SpaceX mission to Mars).
But um… they part ways a good while ago (more here).
A voice for positivity who is positively beautiful! The very crushworthy Angela Rye is back in her seat for another Breakfast Club appearance to break down how current political happenings affect day-to-day living. Always good talk. Always needed.
The Nation of Islam streamed this address by Minister Louis Farrakhan – his message directly to President Donald J. Trump and the U.S. government – on Thursday, November 16, from the historic Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. (assuredly a very purposefully chosen site for the event).
He doesn't rhyme like Em, but MC Keith has been spit plenty of venom at Pres. Trump and them. Today, he dumps the whole vial of vitriol on part of "them"… VP Mike Pence… for his and his boss' disrespect of the flag! Watch and see how.
Wow. Still hard to believe that we elected a U.S. President in much the same way we elected a class president in grade school – the guy that promised spaghetti and pizza for lunch and two recesses every day won… because we bought the lies. But when we did not get more pizza and play time, we lived. This VOX clip illustrates how, with Donald Trump as the 'head of the class' as President, many of us might suffer and DIE.
So… What folks hate about Obamacare (The Affordable Care Act) is exactly what Trumpcare (The 'Higher Cost Care' Act) will allow MORE of??? That's not what ANYONE voted for, is it? IS IT?!
Just watch. It'll make you wanna say, "I can't…" until you realize 'you have to' (because the 'Yes We Can' guy is gone).
Remember the shocking revelation that our very own 'real life Tony Stark' – Elon Musk – would be advising Donald Trump in the White House? We posted on that on here.
Well, Tesla CEO Musk said he'd leave the White House advisory councils on which he serves if President Trump withdrew from the Paris climate agreement. Well, Trump withdrew.
So…, "How'd That Work Out?" It didn't.
In the aftermath of withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Accord, Trump really sees no downside. He had his reasons, and he is not looking to impress folks, at all, including advisors like Musk or Robert Iger (Disney CEO, who also just resigned from his advisory role).
So, to review, the President has just lost the support of 'real life Tony Stark' and the CEO of the 'Universe' in which movie 'Tony Stark' lives… Plus taking the most powerful nation on the planet off the nations-try-to-save-the-world climate change team. Kinda eff'd in the sci-fi world AND real world.
Damn. Keith highlights a good point on this episode of 'The Resistance.' If the tape or tapes that can clear President Trump of former FBI Director James Comey exist, investigators should demand them. And they better prove Trump's innocence of EVERY allegation; because if he is proven guilty of even one Comey accusation in the recordings… he's OUT of the White House.
By casually raising the idea he's got tapes, Donald Trump has found new trouble.
Plus, by now, Trump cannot simply claim the tweet about the tapes was in 'error' nor can he deny their existence. Well, he can. Because, you know, The Donald. But he should not be allowed to do that.
Keith Olbermann says, "Follow the money," a LOT in this episode of "The Resistance"… and it's okay, because it has apparently ben said by EVERYONE except who we think (e.g. credit) as the person who actually said it first. To the point Olbermann is trying to make above, folks who want to get to the bottom of what Trump is up to might do well to heed those words. Here's Olbermann's latest rant and his reasoned path to his conclusion about probable Russian collusion (with Trump's campaign on his Presidential win).
Ohhhhhh shhhheeeeeeeiiiit! I wanted to categorize this as comedy, but this is more. This is even more biting than mere satire; plenty of BITE. Don Rickles (RIP) level roasting of an entire room AND of The President… you know, at the WHITE HOUSE Correspondents' event that they have EVERY year.
Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj took full advantage of Donald Trump's absence by taking aim at The President and his administration during his monologue at the White House Correspondents' dinner.
I'm sure it was on his calendar. But hell, I cannot blame him. Some of this sh!t BURNED, but it seems like everyone took it in stride. And I do mean everyone, because 'The Daily Show' Correspondent Hasan Minhaj gave a taste to EVERYONE: Not just the POTUS, but key officials in his Administration, with shots for Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, even C-SPAN (who broadcasts the event annually)!
You HAVE to watch, but strap up and sack up. Hasan is hella funny, but his speech hits hella HARD! Whew.
Saturday Night Live is absolutely killing it! This spoof of 'The President' telling his loyal supporters about everything that's gonna be JUNKED! is everything. Another bowl of delicious finger chili anyone? Bahahaaa!
President Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin) meets with supporters (Mikey Day, Beck Bennett, Kyle Mooney, Aidy Bryant) in Kentucky's Boone County.
Bill O'Reilly and President Donald Trump get the spoofing of a lifetime! Alec Baldwin gave 'em the BUSINESS!! Imitation is the highest form of comedy in this clip. Bwaaaahahaaa!

A useful and practical Lectionary-based resource for churches, this book will be treasured by anyone involved in preparing and leading worship in church.
Sunday Sorted is a resource for the whole church family and will be treasured by anyone involved in preparing and leading worship in church. Based on the Common Worship Lectionary, it ensures that everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, will be exploring and praying through the same themes, ideas, and scriptures. As the family of God we all have things to learn from each other and this book will enable such conversations to happen.
Thoughts on the Readings: This pulls Sunday's readings together, unpicking the common themes between them, and listening to how they speak into our context.
Discussion Starters: Some churches like to talk in a small group about the readings before the Sunday service. Others might use these discussion starters as part of a café church style sermon slot.
Intercessions: Offering up prayer on behalf of the worshipping church is an important job but one that often doesn't come with much support or training. The intercessions here will support you in that role, giving you confidence as you make the prayers your own.
Children's Prayer: Sometimes a shorter and simpler form of prayer is useful, either in a children's group or in the main service to make sure prayer is more readily accessible for all.
Other Ideas!: Something to display, create, or do, that sets the scene for this Sunday and draws people of all ages into worship.
Children's Corner: Most churches have a children's corner, with books and soft toys. This provides suggestions for a simple activity to set out each Sunday, so that very young children and their parents or carers are able to join in the worship with the rest of the church community.
All-age Talk: A talk suitable for everyone doesn't have to dumb down theological concepts or spiritual insight. These all-age talks allow everyone to understand the scriptures at a level they can understand.
Little Kids' Sunday School and Big Kids' Sunday School: Deliberately flexible on age grouping, these suggestions for children's activities keep things playful and explorative, as research shows that children learn best through playing.
Colouring Page: Each Sunday there is a photocopiable/downloadable colouring sheet, inspired by the Lectionary readings for the day.
Rachel lives in a vicarage in East London with her husband, their five kids, and a veritable menagerie of pets. She loves her corner of the urban wild and the fact that within a few minutes she can be surrounded by the multicultural busyness of the market.
Eleanor lives by the seaside in Essex with her husband and three children, and buckets and spades on the doorstep. She spends a lot of time running different groups in the community, both inside and outside the church, but when she is not doing this she likes to make biscuits, go walking and knit things that are not too big or complicated.

In 1909, Danish botanist Wilhelm Johanssen coined the word gene for the hereditary unit found on a chromosome. Nearly 50 years earlier, Gregor Mendel had characterized hereditary units as factors— observable differences that were passed from parent to offspring. Today we know that a single gene consists of a unique sequence of DNA that provides the complete instructions to make a functional product, called a protein. Genes instruct each cell type— such as skin, brain, and liver—to make discrete sets of proteins at just the right times, and it is through this specificity that unique organisms arise. [1]
A gene (from the Greek γεννάω gennao, to beget or produce) is generally viewed as the basic physical and functional unit of heredity.[2] Genes, which are made up of DNA, act as blueprints to make molecules called proteins. Scientists sometimes consider other segments of DNA genes as well, such as the segments that encode blueprints for nucleotide polymer structures like ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA), or DNA sites at which information concerned with gene regulation and expression is located.

Genes defined?
Throughout the biological disciplines, the word 'gene' refers to some heritable 'entity' or 'system', related to DNA, that plays a role in the development of characteristics of individual organisms and a role, over an evolutionary timescale, in the development of species. That definition, with all its lack of specificity, and perhaps because of that lack of specificity, seems hardly disputable, though likely editable.
Can we define 'gene' more precisely? It would appear that we can, but in doing so we find more than one more-or-less precise definition of 'gene', or 'gene concept', each having a different meaning, in the semantic sense that "[w]ords mean the thing they make us think of...."[3] Biologists think of different things in relation to the word 'gene', and therefore employ a multiplicity of concepts of genes.[4] [5] [6]
Neumann-Held[4] contrasts the 'evolutionary gene concept' with the 'classical molecular gene concept'. She notes that in Richard Dawkins' 'evolutionary genes concept' genes are defined not in terms of the polypeptides they produce but in terms of differences in phenotypes among individuals of a population, which affect their fitness as measured by reproductive success. In evolutionary genes, differences in DNA sequence might affect fitness, but not necessarily polypeptide production. Evolutionary genes need not even produce polypeptides. Moreover, heritable differences that might affect fitness need not involve differences in DNA sequences, as there are more dimensions to evolution than DNA sequence changes (e.g., epigenetic changes). 'Evolutionary' genes, thus, need not involve DNA sequence changes.
Griffiths and Stotz[5] describe three different concepts of the gene:
Instrumental genes: "factors in a model of the transmission of a heritable phenotype, or in a population genetic model of a changing population." They permit formal mathematical analyses of inheritance and gene frequency changes in populations.
Nominal genes: "specific DNA sequences that are annotated as genes because of their similarity to the sequences that were the focus of study as biologists uncovered the functions of DNA from the mid-1950s to the 1970s." These sequences have formal names.
Postgenomic molecular genes: "collections of DNA elements that play the role of the gene as envisaged in early molecular biology—acting as templates for the synthesis of gene products—but which are not nominal genes, because the way in which DNA is used in the production of the relevant gene products does not fit the traditional stereotype."
Lenny Moss writes:
If a gene (assuming that this term can even be given anything like a univocal referent) provides only a resource from which any number of both noncoding regulatory as well as highly splice variable coding sequences are derived, all of which may contribute in context-sensitive ways to a vast multiplicity of biological sequelae, then how sensible is it to think of genes as representations, not to mention causes, of discrete phenotypic outcomes? [6]
Degeng Wang writes:
A gene, I argue, should be interpreted as a functional unit that is responsible for the trans-generation passage of the capacity to dynamically produce a biochemical activity or biochemical activities....Instead of a context-dependent definition of the gene, I argue for the view that it is the same gene displaying multiple meanings, subject to differential interpretation by the cellular machinery in different states. In other words, the same gene gives rise to different products and expression levels under different conditions. [7]
It seems that the biologist's goal, methodologies, and findings determine her concept of the gene. Only an historical account of the evolution of the concept of the gene can make sense of this 'gene concept' diversity.
History and evolution of the concept of the gene
In eukaryotes (organisms whose cells have nuclei, such as plants, yeasts and animals), genes are usually arranged together in multiple long thread-like arrangements called chromosomes. Chromosomes typically come in pairs, and there can be hundreds, sometimes thousands, of genes in one chromosome. Prokaryotes (organisms such as common bacteria) generally have a single large circular chromosome, but often possess other miniature chromosomes called plasmids.
Alleles and Dominant Genes
Alleles are alternative versions of the same gene with differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These differences account for variations in inherited characteristics.
Sexually reproducing organisms inherit one allele from each parent, and so have a total of two alleles for each gene. When sperm and egg cells are generated, each is given only one allele for each gene. These cells are commonly referred to as haploid cells. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, a cell called a zygote is produced. Zygotes, like most of the cells that subsequently divide, grow and form a complete organism, are referred to as diploid. Generally, when a normal haploid cell contains n chromosomes, the resulting fertilized dipliod cell will contain 2n chromosomes. For more information on specific situations where this does not happen, see nondisjunction.
An organism with two identical copies is said to be homozygous for that gene, and is called a homozygote. An organism with two different alleles for a gene is said to be heterozygous for that gene, and is called a heterozygote.
In a heterozygote, when one allele determines the appearance of the individual it is called the dominant allele. When the other has no noticeable effect it is called the recessive allele. Another term sometimes used for homozygous organisms is "true breeding" because of the certainty that their offspring will possess the given trait. The appearance of a given trait is referred to as the phenotype of the individual, whereas the complete set of alleles (dominant and recessive) is referred to as the genotype.
In reality, a more complex combination of gene expression is common. In some cases, the offspring's appearance is found to be in between the two appearances. This can be seen in cases such as hybrids of red and white roses that can appear pink. This phenomonon is called incomplete dominance.
In other cases, both traits are always visible. This phenomonon is called codominance. Codominance can be seen in blood typing in humans. People may have one or both of two carbohydrates (named A and B, and specified by their particular alleles) attached to the surface of their red blood cells. If neither carbohydrate is present, the person is said to have type O blood. The person is said to have type A blood if the A carbohydrate is present, and type B blood if the B is present. An individual that has inherited A and a B genes, will have both carbohydrates present on all their red blood cells, and is said to have type AB blood.
Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. A few genes produce other molecules that help the cell assemble proteins. The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Together, transcription and translation are known as gene expression.
Through the processes of transcription and translation, information from genes is used to make proteins.
During the process of transcription, the information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus. The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
Translation, the second step in getting from a gene to a protein, takes place in the cytoplasm. The mRNA interacts with a specialized complex called a ribosome, which "reads" the sequence of mRNA bases. Each sequence of three bases, called a codon, usually codes for one particular amino acid. (Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.) Transfer RNA (tRNA) then assembles the protein, one amino acid at a time. Protein assembly continues until the ribosome encounters a "stop" codon (a sequence of three bases that does not code for an amino acid).
The flow of information from DNA to RNA to proteins is one of the fundamental principles of molecular biology. It is so important that it is sometimes called the "central dogma."
Gene Structure
Each DNA is made up of the sugar 2'-deoxyribose linked to a phosphate group and one of the four bases: guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T), and cytosine (C) These nucleotides are placed in a unique order to code for all of the genes in all living organisms.
Introns
Exons
A gene mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. Mutations range in size from a single DNA building block (DNA base) to a large segment of a chromosome.
Mechanisms of Mutation
Gene mutations occur in two ways: they can be inherited from a parent or acquired during a person's lifetime. Mutations that are passed from parent to child are called hereditary mutations or germline mutations (because they are present in the egg and sperm cells, which are also called germ cells). This type of mutation is present throughout a person's life in virtually every cell in the body.
Health and Development
To function correctly, each cell depends on thousands of proteins to do their jobs in the right places at the right times. Sometimes, gene mutations prevent one or more of these proteins from working properly. By changing a gene's instructions for making a protein, a mutation can cause the protein to malfunction or to be missing entirely. When a mutation alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a medical condition. A condition caused by mutations in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder.
In some cases, gene mutations are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth. These changes occur in genes that are essential for development, and often disrupt the development of an embryo in its earliest stages. Because these mutations have very serious effects, they are incompatible with life.
It is important to note that genes themselves do not cause disease—genetic disorders are caused by mutations that make a gene function improperly. For example, when people say that someone has "the cystic fibrosis gene," they are usually referring to a mutated version of the CFTR gene, which causes the disease. All people, including those without cystic fibrosis, have a version of the CFTR gene.
In humans, genes vary in size from a few hundred DNA bases to more than 2 million bases. The Human Genome Project has estimated that humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (thought to be less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different between individuals.

Abstract: Particularly, but not exclusively, in Germany, concerns are uttered as to the consequences of modern biotechnological advances and their range of applications in the field of human genetics. Whereas the proponents of this research are mainly focussing on the possible knowledge that could be gained by understanding the causes of developmental processes and of disease on the molecular level, the critics fear the beginnings of a new eugenics movement. Without claiming a logical relationship between genetic sciences and eugenics movements, it is nevertheless suggested in this article that a connection between both can become established when the distinction between scientifically validated statements on one hand and guiding hypotheses and assumptions on the other hand is blurred, as is observed particularly when scientists report their results to the public. This claim is demonstrated in comparisons between the current state of scientific knowledge on the role of genes in development and causation of diseases, and the way this is presented to the public. It is required that a debate on biotechnology should include reflections on the validity of claims made by scientists.

Abstract: The problem of how to reconcile the apparent "purposiveness" of the living organism with nonteleological, mechanist modes of explanation was given a certain form through most of the 20th century by a relatively decontextualized understanding of the gene as the heritable determinant of phenotypic traits. As instrumentally preformationist presuppositions about genes give way to the burgeoning elucidation of cell and molecular mechanisms of epigenesis, basic questions about the nature of complex living systems and their evolutionary origins once again come into consideration. Some suggestions are offered for a vision of the genetically recontextualized organism.

There's no question in my mind that Timbuk2 makes some of the best messenger bags, backpacks, tote bags and laptop bags around. Plus they are an awesome independent, local San Francisco company that's been around 18 years, with a great retail store in Hayes Valley. Over the years I've owned several Timbuk2 bags and they've all been great.
Almost exactly a year ago I wrote about their Blogger Bag, a really great vertical laptop bag that for the most part has been my primary bag for the last year. Well that has all changed. They just came out with their new Hacker bag which I have ordered from them.
This is quite possibly the ultimate vertical laptop bag, well for me at least. Plus, hackers are cooler than bloggers any day, right? The Hacker bag takes the Blogger bag to the next level, adding a waterproof liner and bottom, a molded back panel, enclosed padded, corduroy-lined laptop compartment and it also coverts into a backpack with straps that are normally hidden in the back, which are great for going on long hauls. In general, I prefer vertical laptop bags, since they take up less space, which is important when you're at crowed art or tech events.
While we're at it, I might as well do the whole "what's in your bag?" thing. The Hacker bag easily fits my 15" Apple MacBook Pro, AC adapter, my Canon 5D DSLR camera with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS lens attached (plus lens hood), Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 L prime lens, my CF cards & CF and SD card readers, batteries, Canon PowerShot TX-1 HD camera, Verizon V740 EVDO Rev A ExpressCard, pens, mini LED flashlight, business cards and Laughing Squid stickers, with plenty of room to spare.
Oh and just to make a cool company even cooler, check out the awesome rocket popsicle mailer that the Hacker bag shipped in when I purchased it from Timbuk2.
UPDATE: Some of you have been asking if I can shoot additional photos of the bag to help you determine if you should buy it or not. This is really something that Timbuk2 should be doing. I just wrote about how much I liked it, but I really don't have the time or resources to setup extensive products shots of the bag. I would suggest that you contact Timbuk2 and ask them to add more photos of the bag.

Dutch court sentences man to life in prison for Utrecht tram shooting

A Dutch court convicted a radicalized Muslim man Friday of murder with a terrorist motive and sentenced him to life imprisonment for opening fire on a tram and killing four people last year.
The defendant, 38-year-old Gokmen Tanis, was not in court to hear the verdict due to restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
"The suspect spread death and destruction in broad daylight in a tram in Utrecht," said presiding judge Ruud van Veldhuisen.
Tanis stepped into the tram, then "pulled out a pistol with which he, while shouting the name of his god, Allah, shot at innocent passengers in cold blood. Not once, but many times in just over two minutes," the judge added.
He said the terror attack sent shock waves through the central city of Utrecht and the rest of the Netherlands.
Tanis did not answer questions during his trial and was repeatedly removed from court for insulting judges, his lawyer and families of victims.
Tanis walked onto a tram in Utrecht on March 18, 2019 and used a pistol with a silencer attached to shoot passengers at close range. He then jumped out of the tram and shot a driver sitting behind the wheel of a car.
Three people in the tram were killed and the man in the car died of his injuries more than a week later.
The attack, which happened just days after the massacre at two mosques in the New Zealand city of Christchurch, sent the historic university city of Utrecht into lockdown as police hunted for the gunman. He was detained hours after the shooting.
Prosecutors said the silencer was adorned with texts referring to Islam that forensic tests later established were written by Tanis.
He also left a note in a stolen getaway car that said in Dutch: "I'm doing this for my religion. You kill Muslims and you want to take our religion away from us, but you won't succeed. Allah is great."
However, witness statements cited at trial described him as a part-time Muslim who veered between strictly observing the religion and drinking, gambling and taking drugs.

The project is jointly led by faculty from the State University of New York (SUNY) Potsdam campus and the Universidade Portucalense (UPT) in Porto, Portugal. It involves the study of potential impacts of global climate change on wine production and wine tourism.
Design and conduct research into the likely impacts of global climate change on traditional wine production regions and their tourism capacities and operations. The research results will be used to shape the development of possible response strategies for affected wine tourism regions.
The project will involve at least two conferences, one held at UPT in March 2019 and the second held in Potsdam, New York in summer 2019 or later. These conferences will include both a research/presentation segment and a general collaboration experience that is expected to aid in the formation of specific research teams and the publication of results.
In addition to a set of articles published in the conference proceedings and in European and US or global scientific journals, the project will also coordinate the organization and publication of select articles and contributions into a book documenting the overall results of the project.
Hosted by SUNY Potsdam in Potsdam, New York (USA) and open to all members of the project research teams. Some participation is also encouraged by researchers who did not attend the first conference.
In addition to academic work, this conference will include research visits to New York State winemakers, wine tourism experts, and other universities with wine programs. Depending on budget, a trip to the West Coast may be arranged to visit winemakers and tourism promoters in California, Washington State, and Oregon.


On the second Sunday of Advent the seminary's Martin Luther chapel was filled with musicians, the seminary family, and visiting worshippers for the annual Advent Lessons and Carols service. The choir of Resurrection Lutheran Church (under the direction of Dianne Humann) joined the Seminary Choir (directed by Tara Lyn Hart) to sing responses and lead the hymns that accompanied the six Advent lessons. Dr Tom Winger tag-teamed with Mrs Humann on the organ and piano, and young people from Resurrection added the music of strings, brass, and handbells. Many visitors commented how important this event is to their annual observance of Advent, avoiding the secular temptation to rush too soon into Christmas.
Following the service, the seminary community gathered at Resurrection (down the hill) for its Christmas dinner. The students prepared the food and entertained. Representing the Seminary Guild, Mary Silver gave each student a grocery gift card, and the student assocation gave Christmas books and goodies to the children, supported by a generous gift from Mr and Mrs Richard and Celine Weitzel.
The seminary community's prayers are with the Hart family, who were unable to be present at the service or dinner, as they were attending to Perry's father in his illness.


If Toys 'R Us is a company that offers various toys for kids, what does Baby R Us offer? No way! It's not babies! Baby R Us offers baby products.
In 1996, Westbury, New York, Baby R Us opened its first store. It has been immediately followed with opening six more branches on different locations at the end of the year. After tremendous expansion and joining the Baby Superstore chain, Baby R Us store count has reach 218 at the beginning of 2005. What a mammoth feat for a baby store, right?
Babies R Us is considered a pioneer in retailing premier baby products. It is said to be the biggest store chain in the world that provides baby products. They have stores and online stores that assist in giving a unique and fun shopping experience for their consumers. It has a state-of-the-art baby registry service that provides more convenience when shopping for your baby's needs. Baby R Us also has a Mother's room that attends to babies' necessities.
The Baby Registry service is a product of Babies R Us teaming up with Amazon.com. Parents that are expecting their baby are permitted to create an online baby registry or update a registry that was set up on one of the Babies R Us stores nationwide. What this registry rids the parents is the inconvenience of surmounting geographic barriers and presumption of which products suit your baby. This way, when your friends and relatives plan to buy your baby a gift, it won't be that much of a hassle anymore. All that they have to do is go online, select, buy and get the gift delivered to you on time. All the land-based Baby R Us stores allow all purchase returns as an added feature.
Baby R Us also constantly maintains a "Top Seller List" that usually include educational baby equipment, baby books, a pregnant mom's book, diaper accessories, comfy baby bouncer, play gyms, baby call nursery monitors, a changing pad, monitors with dual receivers, an infant car seat base, baby wraps, toddler rockers, baby swings, nursery care kits, feeding bottle set, etc.
Baby R Us online store also allows browsers to check on different brands of baby products that suit their preferences. The following are the categories that Baby R Us provides various brands of products on: gear, activity, toys, nursery, health and safety, specialty stores, feeding, bath and potty, and clothing and layette.

Brief Fact Summary. The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (Act), as amended in 1974, created an eight-member Federal Election Commission (Commission) and vested in it wide-ranging rulemaking and enforcement powers for administering the Act. A separation of powers challenge was brought that Congress was precluded from vesting in itself the authority to appoint members of the Commission.
Synopsis of Rule of Law. Article II, Section:2, cl. 2, of the Constitution of the United States, the Appointment Clause, provides: "The President shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Department."
Facts. The Act vested very broad powers in the Commission for administering the Act, including not only recordkeeping, disclosure, investigative functions, rulemaking and adjudicative powers, but also enforcement powers to institute a civil action for violations of the Act. With respect to four of the six voting members, neither the President, the head of any department, nor the Judiciary had any voice in their selection. The Appellants challenged the selection process, arguing that the Appointment Clause provides the exclusive method by which those charged with executing the laws of the United States may be chosen. Appellants further claimed that, if Congress retained the power to appoint, the members of the Commission could not discharge those functions which can only be performed by Officers of the United States under the separation of powers doctrine. The Court of Appeals held that the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution gave Congress the authority to establish the Commission and appoint its members.
Issue. Were the powers of the Act vesting in the Commission the primary responsibility for conducting civil litigation in the courts constitutional?
Held. No. The provisions of the Act which vested in the Commission primary responsibilities for conducting civil litigation in the courts of United States for vindicating public rights violated Article II, Section:2, cl. 2, of the Constitution. Those administrative functions may only be performed by persons who are Officers of the United States. Dissent. None. Concurrence. None.
Discussion. Congress' power under the Necessary and Proper Clause was bound by the express language of Article II. The Members of the Commission could only perform functions properly delegable by Congress, in an areas sufficiently removed from administration and enforcement of the public law as to permit their being performed by persons not "Officers of the United States."

De Katholieke Universiteit Leuven organiseert een symposium over universitaire ontwikkelingssamenwerking, met als titel "Multi-stakeholder cooperation in research: myth or must?".
'Multi-stakeholder cooperation' has become a buzzword in international development. In order to solve complex global challenges, collaboration between a range of stakeholders from different sectors is a must, so it is said. Only by breaking up disciplinary boundaries and searching for transdisciplinary knowledge creation can we evolve towards the 'systems thinking' and 'systemic change' that is required to solve these challenges.
But how do such partnerships really work? Is a genuine participatory process in which solutions for development are co-created even possible? Or do power imbalances between, for example, partners from developing countries and those based in the North, persist? Do contexts for multistakeholder cooperation really offer an enabling environment for transdisciplinary research? How precisely are partners who look very differently at knowledge production able to find synergy and complementarity in a multi-stakeholder partnership?
Marc Craps van Cycloop geeft op dit symposium een keynote over "On Co-creation and Trandisciplinarity in Multi-stakeholder Research Processes".

An artist's impression of the craft that China sent to Mars in July 2020.
Nature Astronomy
The "footprint" of a Chinese robot imprinted on the surface of Mars on Friday, making China just the third nation to safely reach the red planet's surface. The ambitious Tianwen-1 mission was China's first attempt to reach the surface of another planet.
"China has joined an elite club of spacefaring nations with this historic landing," said Alan Duffy, an astronomer at Swinburne University and lead scientist of the Royal Institution of Australia.
The Tianwen-1 spacecraft, which had been orbiting Mars since February, released a shielded capsule toward the surface on Friday afternoon. Inside was the rover Zhurong, strapped to the back of a landing vehicle that deployed parachutes and fired thrusters to slow itself down. The official landing time, according to Chinese state media service Xinhua, was 4:18 p.m. PT.
China follows the US in becoming just the second nation to have a rover travel across the Martian surface.

There may've been celebrations and high-fives exchanged in CNSA's mission control, but the hoots or hollers we're accustomed to seeing during NASA landings weren't televised live.
"Unlike NASA, which released images of the landing of the Perseverance Rover within minutes of them arriving back at Earth via the Deep Space Network, we have heard very little from CNSA about this mission," said David Flannery, a planetary scientist at the Queensland University of Technology and member of the Perseverance team.
"The reluctance of China's space agency to share up to date information is almost certainly related to fears that a mission failure might negatively reflect upon Chinese political leaders."
Given the dearth of information, amateur astronomers tried to discern how the mission was proceeding by listening for the telltale radio signals being beamed back to Earth.
Zhurong landed in Utopia Planitia, one of Mars' largest impact craters. NASA's defunct Viking 2 spacecraft landed in the same crater in 1976. Utopia Planitia is expected to house a cache of underground ice and may have once been covered by a Martian ocean. Where there was once water, there may've been life. Zhurong, like NASA's Perseverance, will explore the region and search for signs of past life.
"Together with the global science community, I look forward to the important contributions this mission will make to humanity's understanding of the red planet," Thomas Zurbuchen, associate director of NASA's science mission directorate, tweeted on Friday.
The last 10 months have been busy ones for Martian exploration.
Three spacecraft, including Tianwen-1, launched to Mars in July 2020, taking advantage of Earth's proximity to the red planet. The United Arab Emirates' Hope orbiter, which will survey Mars' atmosphere from space, inserted itself into orbit in February. Not long after, NASA's now-famous rolling rover, Perseverance, and its history-making flying companion Ingenuity, reached the surface of Mars, landing in an ancient lakebed that may once have been home to Martian life.


A suicidal assailant blew up himself near the Rapid Action Battalion a police camp in the area of Ashkona Hajj Dhaka. A police personnel injured in this targeted attack on RAB. Police told that this attack took place this afternoon. Mufti Mohd Khan, director legal and media wing of RAB, told that the assailant, targeting to RAB, attacked over a police branch(anti-terrorists). However there is no detail information yet reported.
The threatening of suicidal attack by Islamik State (terror organisation), the incident took place exactly after the two days in Bangladesh, Bangladesh police and International Crime Branch, after the threatening, raided on Sitakund and Chatganv where, to save from arrest , two of the new JMB group, who have linked with IS, blew up themselves. A woman terrorist of this organization earlier this in December last year had blown up herself during the raid in Ashkona. The first attack of this organization had been organised on 26 December 2015.

everything's relative
IN A few short years in the early 20th century, an iconoclastic young physicist transformed our understanding of the universe. With his special and general theories of relativity, Albert Einstein overturned the solid certainty that was Newton's clockwork universe and replaced it with a picture that defied common sense. His work brought us the famous equation E=mc , defined light as the cosmic speed limit, unified space and time, redefined gravity and ushered in the idea that the universe began in a hot, dense fireball we now call the big bang. These insights later gave rise to some of the most intriguing and mind-boggling ideas in modern physics: black holes, time travel, dark matter and dark energy. Today's physicists are still wrestling with his revelations and their consequences. Only last year…
a very special theory
" A STORM broke loose in my mind." This was how Albert Einstein felt when inspiration finally struck about how to solve a problem he had been wrestling with for years. That storm has been provoking thunderous revelations ever since. It was 1905 and Einstein was working as an examiner in the patent office in Bern, Switzerland. The job did not give him easy access to scientific journals and conferences, but it gave him plenty of time to think. And that was all he needed. Einstein's problem was this: if two people are moving relative to one another, do the laws of physics seem the same to both? To 19th-century physicists, the answer was a resounding "yes". Say I am standing motionless on a station platform and you are on a train travelling…
general relativity: a primer
"Space tells matter how to move and matter tells space how to curve"John Archibald Wheeler Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity is one of the towering achievements of 20th-century physics. Published in 1915, it explains that what we perceive as the force of gravity in fact arises from the curvature of space and time. Einstein proposed that objects such as the sun and Earth change this geometry. In the presence of matter and energy, space-time can evolve, stretch and warp, forming ridges, mountains and valleys that cause bodies moving through it to zigzag and curve. So although Earth appears to be pulled towards the sun by gravity, there is no such force. It is simply the geometry of space-time around the sun telling Earth how to move. The general theory of relativity has…
how general relativity shapes our universe
"No black holes have been seen directly yet, though there is overwhelming evidence that they exist" BLACK HOLES Shortly after Einstein proposed his general theory of relativity, a German physicist called Karl Schwarzschild found one of the first and most important solutions to Einstein's field equations. Now known as the Schwarzschild solution, it describes the geometry of space-time around extremely dense stars – and it has some very strange features. For a start, right at the centre of such bodies, the curvature of space-time becomes infinite – forming a feature called a singularity. An even stranger feature is an invisible spherical surface, known as the event horizon, surrounding the singularity. Nothing, not even light, can escape the event horizon. You can almost think of the Schwarzschild singularity as a hole in the fabric…
frontiers of general relativity
"It is possible to build tunnels linking different parts of space and different parts of time – in theory, at least" GRAVITATIONAL WAVES According to general relativity, even empty space-time, devoid of stars and galaxies, can have a life of its own. Ripples known as gravitational waves can propagate across space in much the same way that ripples spread across the surface of a pond. Until very recently, the direct detection of gravitational waves was the biggest remaining test of general relativity. But in 2016, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) at Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana, finally nailed them (see page 65). LIGO consists of laser beams that are reflected between mirrors 4 kilometres apart. When a gravitational wave passes through, it slightly distorts space-time, leading to a minuscule but detectable shift…
how to think about space-time
OFTEN described as the fabric of reality, space-time is a four-dimensional amalgamation of two entities that were once thought of as separate: space and time. It is all around us, but we cannot see it. So what is it? A popular way of envisaging space-time is as a stretchy rubber sheet that deforms when a mass is placed on it. The resulting curvature is analogous to the warping of space-time by gravity. It's a picture that might lead us to believe space-time is itself something physical or tangible. For most physicists, though, space-time itself is a lot more abstract – a purely mathematical backdrop for the unfolding drama of the cosmos. Physicist Martin Bojowald of Penn State University in Philadelphia sees it as a mathematical entity called a manifold. The equations of general…
