The United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group, often shortened to DEVGRU and informally referred to as SEAL Team Six[1] is a counter-terrorism unit under the jurisdiction of the US Navy with its members drawn from U.S. Navy SEALs members.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Edit
SEAL Team Six was part of the U.S. military assault on the Middle East, and was involved in the attack on the country's capital city, where Opfor military leader Al-Asad was believed to be located. During the level "Shock and Awe", SEAL Team Six detected and confirmed a nuclear device at the center of the city, and notified U.S. field command, which dispatched NEST teams to neutralize the warhead. However, they were unsuccessful, and the nuclear warhead detonated with substantial casualties to U.S. military forces. Because the SEAL Team Six were the ones who discovered the device, it can be assumed that they were in the vicinity of the nuke when it detonated and that they were killed.
Call of Duty Black Ops II Edit
SEAL Team Six makes another appearance in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. They face the Militia on Turbine, Mercs on Downhill, Hijacked, Standoff, Encore, Frost, and Nuketown 2025, and SDC on Cargo, Carrier, Drone, Mirage, Magma, Uplink, and Pod. Harper, Salazar, and David Mason are stated to be members of the unit.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III Edit
SEAL Team Six makes brief appearance in the campaign level, 'Demon Within'. After The Player interfaces Sarah Hall's DNI and enters her subconscious, several corpses of SEAL Team Six members can be seen lying on the fourth tree.
Known Members Edit

It would seem that the SEALs wear two different uniforms throughout the game: One that has a Multicam pattern, and another that is a more futuristic digital pattern. Another pattern is found on Uplink, where they wear a desert camouflage similar to the U.S. Marines in Call of Duty 4.
The SEAL Team Six assault rifle character model is the same as Crosby's, albeit with futuristic digital camouflage.
The SEAL Team Six SMG character model wears a similar uniform to Mike Harper's.
The SEAL Team Six LMG character model wears the same suit as Javier Salazar.
In early trailer and screenshots, the SEALs had a different model and colours on their gloves.

SUICIDE TERRORISM
Growing support for suicide terrorism
By Eric Walberg *
Pakistan's elections come at a key junction in the region's geopolitics, with the public firmly opposed to the US 'war on terror' being conducted on Pakistani soil with no regard for its sovereignty. Pakistan's new prime minister has a mandate to take his country in a new direction, but will he use it?
Steel magnate Nawaz Sharif is the country's fourth wealthiest citizen, a protégé of General Zia ul-Haq, toppled in a 1999 military coup, sentence to life imprisonment and exiled to Saudi Arabia. His Muslim League (PML-N) has enough seats to avoid the need for a coalition with second-place former cricketer Imran Khan's Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI), and/or the Bhutto family's Pakistan People's Party (PPP), which until last week presided over Pakistan's first full-term civilian government. Despite pre-poll violence that killed at least 40 people, voter turnout was a robust 60%.
On the surface, a win-win for Sharif, Khan, Pakistan, and even the West, which very much needs a stable government there. But Sharif, prime minister for the third time (having served from 1990–1993 and 1997–1999), has loads of baggage: his love of neoliberal trickle-down economics, his close ties with Saudi Arabia, his abiding interest in closer links with Central Asia republics (echoes of past regimes' regional hegemonic designs). And though he loudly supported the reinstatement of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudry (dismissed by Pervez Musharraf in 2007), he is no stranger to intimidating judges, having ousted Supreme Court chief justice Sajjad Ali Shah in 1997. He notoriously 'pressed the button' to bring Pakistan into the nuclear age in 1998. And he was best friends with the military until he was 'betrayed' by his own 1998 appointee as army chief of staff, Pervez Musharraf.
What do the tea leaves tell us? Well, for one thing, ex-General Musharraf, who hounded Sharif into exile, better put a strong lock on his home near Islamabad, where he is now under house arrest. And Pakistanis better brace themselves for IMF-style austerity. US strategists also should be prepared for a continuation of the cooling of relations. Sharif's brother Shahbaz, chief minister of Punjab, has stopped all USAID projects in Punjab province as a protest against Washington's use of drones (3,000 dead since 2004), though we can be sure Nawaz is unlikely to jeopardise the $2 billion in annual US 'aid'.
Speaking of Nawaz's brother, his son Hamza is a member of the National Assembly. And Nawaz's daughter Maryam is leader of the PML-N. And, and … Politics is a family affair in Pakistan, though as the falling-out and scandals of the various Bhuttos (and Sharif's cold-blooded alliance with Benazir's brother Murtaza) suggests, the families are not always happy. So much for "cleaning up corruption".
Is there any hope for a new direction? Well, Sharif considers himself a friend of the environment, a fan of "bioconservatism", having established the Environmental Protection Agency in 1997. He is committed to Islamization, including a more sharia-based legal system, though there is little to suggest that social justice plays any role at all in his deen. He may actually try to patch up relations with India; he tried to with the Lahore declaration in 1999 until undermined by clashes in Kargil, Kashmir.
But don't hold your breath waiting for any surprises. Sharif is in fact a logical heir to Pakistan's tragic history, which continues to unfold, regardless of who sits on top. Since partition in 1947, intended by the British to leave a prostrate subcontinent which would be beholden to empire, Pakistani politics has been mostly dominated by military rule and crises. This makes sense, as Pakistan's Muslims are a highly pluralist mix of Sunni and Shia, with large communities of Ahmadi, Bahai and others, and tension often boil over, requiring a firm, neutral hand.
But then Pakistan is not so different from other majority-Muslim states, which all share a history of authoritarian, top-down forced adoption to western modernity, characterized by accepting an imposed economic system of capitalism and a political system composed of 'sovereign' ethnically distinct nation states. The entire Muslim world was subjected to this in some form, be it by a monarch, a military dictator, a colonial administration or a neocolonial 'independent' administration. This includes Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Morocco, Iran, Indonesia and Malaysia, with Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states the 'exceptions that prove the rule'.
Pakistan and Turkey have striking similarities. Both Pakistan and Turkey's military staged coups from the 1950s to the 1980s to stop moves towards promoting more religious practice, though the coup in Pakistan in 1977 and in Turkey in 1980 changed the nature of the 'game', as the US began to openly embrace so-called mujahideen across the Muslim world as its Cold War ace against the Soviet Union.
Pakistan's colonial nightmare differs from Egypt's at the time of 'independence' after WWII. Pakistan's partition and ethnic/ sectarian tensions among uprooted peoples did not allow the formation of a Muslim Brotherhood-type organization which could unite the country around a program of Islamic social justice. Egypt's military coup of 1952 was necessary to pre-empt the Muslim Brotherhood, which would have been the clear winner in any elections. Unlike Pakistani and Turkish military strongmen, Egypt's populist Gamel Abdel-Nasser was as a result prompted to follow a socialist anti-imperialist path to independence, and became the toast of the Muslim world—until US-Israeli hegemony was asserted in the region in 1967, humiliating the hero of Arab nationalism and undoing fatally this secular socialist path.
On the surface, the imperial strategy of creating a weak, divided Indian subcontinent largely worked. India's experiment with socialism was mild, and only Pakistan's Zulfikar Bhutto flirted briefly with socialism and anti-imperialism in the 1970s—and was rewarded by being hanged (by Sharif's patron Zia ul-Haq). With the demise of the Soviet Union, the empire consolidated its hold on both India and Pakistan, letting them continue their spat over Kashmir, a senseless and massive drain on both the Indian and Pakistani budgets, but excellent divide-and-conquer geopolitics for the US. The socialist 'threat' was wiped out in the horrendous 'jihad' in Afghanistan, which unleashed al-Qaeda types on the world.
As a result, when Sharif grabbed the reins of power in the 1990s, he found he was riding a tiger. The Taliban were the real thing, so to speak: unlike craven Pakistani politicians, they wanted to attack the very empire itself. Pakistan's relations with the US deteriorated and have continued to deteriorate ever since as various leaders try unsuccessfully to square the circle, encouraging the Taliban and pacifying the Americans.
A new leaf for Pakistan will probably not be the work of Sharif. Rather, the logic of regional developments will continue to assert itself. The PPP government was forced by popular pressure to cut off the NATO supply route to Afghanistan and to restrict US military activity. At the same time, it increased military and economic cooperation with China and Iran. Sharif's PML-N will continue this. US policy is pushing its once subservient ally into the hands of its 'enemies'.
The best than can be hoped for in Pakistan is that a (slightly less) corrupt Sharif will patch up relations with India, which the army can do little to stop, given the failed state that Pakistan finds itself in. This means ending demands to tear Kashmir away from India, and abandoning the Taliban. A return of the Taliban may be what some hardliners are rooting for, but given the unwillingness of any of the major players—in the first place India, Russia, Iran, China and of course the US—to allow this, Sharif has a stronger hand this time, if he's sensible enough to play it, for peace with India can only come by letting go of Afghanistan.
If Sharif can strike a peace accord with India and work with regional players—including Iran— and the US in Afghanistan, peace will break out in the region. This would reopen the borders with India, creating an economic boom across the region. At the same time, it will accelerate a genuine withdrawal of US forces from the region, end its threats to invade Iran, and—please note, US strategists—the US would still have quite a bit of influence in post-pullout Afghanistan. In fact, its profile across the region would be transformed for the better.
This would also dash Pakistan's goal of becoming regional hegemon. But peace with both Afghanistan and India would be a win-win for it too, slashing the parasitical military and raising living standards through mutually profitable cooperation with India, Iran and China. The centerpiece will be the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) Peace Pipeline. Even if Pakistani politics remains corrupt (and it will), the new regional cooperation would give a huge boost to its economy.
If Sharif has the courage to do this, it would start the difficult process of turning over a new leaf for Pakistan. It would also guarantee him a second term, which combined with his peaceful accession to power, would mean a gratifying political bookend for his rule, making him 'independent' Pakistan's true founder.

One Sleep from Wembley
by Lydia | May 25, 2018 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
One sleep from Wembley. Or rather, one night of attempted sleep! I feel like a kid at Christmas, knowing that tomorrow is the day that football fans dream about. Some fans get a chance to see their team at Wembley every few seasons, for others it's maybe once every ten years or so, but for Fulham it has been 43 years. We have had the longest wait of any other professional club, and was just one of the reasons for our mass celebrations last Monday evening by the Thames.
There have been mind games from both camps and banter between the two fan bases but tomorrow all of that will be left behind and Slavisa Jokanovic and his team must do the talking on the pitch. 90minutes from the Promised Land of the Premier League and a cash wind fall that most clubs can only dream of.
Tomorrow's game is incredibly difficult to call. Some say that we are favourites while some say that Villa have that burden, but truth be told, it really doesn't matter. We have played each other twice already this season with both sides winning at home. Villa fans have been quick to remind me that they were without Jack Grealish and Albert Adomah for the game at Craven Cottage, but we didn't have Tom Cairney to start, played Rui Fonte and Aboubakar Kamara up front for the first time together and had Ryan Sessegnon as a left back at Villa Park. Tomorrow both sides look to have a fully fit squad so this will be noticeably different from the previous two games this season. The midfield battle will be fierce with the undoubtedly talented Grealish alongside Snodgrass and Hourihane up against Cairney, Johansen and McDonald and you'd imagine that whoever wins that battle will win the match.
I decided to call on Aston Villa fan and podcaster at 7500 to Holte, Daniel Raza for a Villa take on the game tomorrow.
Who do you see has Villa's main danger man for Fulham on Saturday?
Jack Grealish. Going into a final, we're going to need a certain amount of energy to stay dangerous for the full 90/120 minutes and I believe he can drive Villa forward especially on the counter. I'm expecting Villa to be solid defensively from watching the semi-finals and being quick on the break is going to be important. Other than that, we were without him during the defeat and Craven Cottage and he could be the changing factor.
Who is your unsung hero from this season and why?
James Chester deserves a lot of plaudits for solid defensive performances and turning up to every minute of Championship football this season. It's easy to get ignored when your defensive partner is John Terry, but James is one of the biggest leader figures in the team and will be important for us in the final.
When was the last time you got to Wembley? What happened?
It was at the end of an awful season in 2015, where Tim Sherwood had been brought in as the replacement to Paul Lambert. He had a positive effect on the team and gave Villa the final push into to FA Cup Final. Unfortunately, the team choked as they had done for most of the season and lost 4-0 to Arsenal. This was the season before we got relegated.
Is there anyone from Fulham's team that really worries you?
I do think Sessegnon is going to be a wildcard here. He'll likely be the youngest player on the pitch on Saturday and whilst nerves are racking up around both dressing rooms – this could be the big opportunity he needs to shine. He has nothing to lose on Saturday and that could really drive him to cause havoc against us. With Elmohamady injured, it's a big ask for Alan Hutton to keep both Sessegnon and Kamara at bay.
SCORE PREDICTION- I'm going to say 1-1 at 90 minutes, and 2-1 Villa after extra time!
So there we go. They have very recent Wembley experience plus A LOT of leaders on the pitch. For the neutral, this is the best game you could have hoped for in a Play-off Final, but for fans of both clubs we are in for 90minutes at least of stress.
I can't ask Daniel to do a score prediction and not do one myself, so here goes. I'm going to be brave and say 2-0 Fulham at the end of the 90 with Mitrovic and Cairney with the goals.

Slow cooker Italian sausage tortellini soup with red peppers, onions, spicy Italian sausage and Italian seasonings, and last but not least, cheesy tortellini pasta. This is the perfect blend of comfort foods and so so easy to make.
We just got back from a family vacation and my head is spinning a little bit. Not just because of the mountains of laundry that need tackling and the abundance of emails to catch up on, but I feel like I left during summer and come home to Fall and it's weirding me out a little bit. In the best way possible because I am r e a d y to for boots and drives up the canyon and lots and lots of SOUP.
First on the docket: slow cooker Italian sausage tortellini soup with red peppers, onions, spicy Italian sausage and Italian seasonings, and last but not least, cheesy tortellini pasta. There's something about combining pasta and soup that just screams *comfort food* to me and it's absolutely perfect for this time of year. Just throw it all in the slow cooker, let it cook for 6-8 hours, stir in your tortellini, and call it a day. A delicious slow cooker soup day.
AKA: the best kind of day.
Allow sausage links to thaw just enough that you can slice them. Slice sausage into 1/4-inch thick coins.
Add sausage, bell pepper, onion, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, garlic powder, and chicken broth to slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
About 20 minutes before serving stir in tortellini. Cover and allow to cook until tortellini is tender and hot throughout.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
Try these other Slow Cooker Soups you'll love!
Looks delicious! I buy frozen tortellini. Do you use frozen or refrigerated tortellin? Will I need to defrost it before putting it in the slow cooker for 20 minutes?
This looks wonderful? Can it be made with frozen tortellini, or is it best with the refrigerated type?
Do you use frozen or refrigerated tortellini? Will I need to defrost frozen tortellini before putting it in the slow cooker for 20 minutes?


Path is a collaborative system that developed over the course of five months of studio activity and continued through the duration of the exhibition. The system's main collaborators were a land snail native to eastern North America (Neohelix albolabris), myself, and a digital cellular automaton. These prime agents interwove processes and exchanges between one another into a complex network of folded fractal feedback loops. Cyclic processes produced artifacts and infrastructures to support communication between the components and agents of Path. As a whole, Path spoke to the possibilities for interspecies, cyber-physical, and ecological collaboration to create an emergent landscape.
The iteration of Path that follows in this document extends the collaborative system onto the space of the page. Path.txt is a concrete poem drawn from personal notes and observations from field and studio research. The composition of the text was generated through one of the processes at play in the production of Path as a gallery installation. The arrangement of text follows an algorithmically determined sequence initiated by the slime trail of N. albolabris. Following this textual iteration, a section of images and text outline the processes that operated in Path as a gallery installation.

Public Transportation Options in Jakarta
Hello FlokqApril 9, 2020
Transjakarta (BRT)
Metro MRT (Mass Rapid Transit)
LRT (Light Rail Transit)
KRL Commuter Line
Jakarta took 10th place for the world's worst traffic last year. As one of the largest megalopolises in the world, with a population of more than ten million, it's not hard to see why. With the additional one million people coming from the outskirts of the city, commuting at the same time the road resulted in daily traffic congestion.
Read also: Traffic in Jakarta 101
Fortunately, there is a slight improvement in traffic due to the development of public transportation in Jakarta. Now with the convenience of integrated mass public transportation systems implemented in Jakarta, people are less apprehensive and have more confidence in using them. So, get with the locals and choose Jakarta's public transportations as your preferred mode of travel. Here we have made the list of public transportations you can take to go around Jakarta:
transjakarta.co.id
TransJakarta is a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, a first of its kind in South East Asia. Opened to the public in 2004, it provides cheap mass transportation options to the people, especially around the business district areas of Jakarta. It is the primary mode of public transportation for Jakartans with 260 bus shelters all around the city. TransJakarta runs on fixed 13 routes and has around 3900 busses operated each day catered for the high-mobility of Jakartans. After the integration of mass transportation in Jakarta, TransJakarta has several routes connected to the MRT and LRT stations. Hence, it reaches more areas and providing better service to the people. However, during rush hours, the busses will often be overcrowded. Thus, we recommend you to use other modes of transport at that time.
Read also: Should You Get A Car In Jakarta?
It is important to note that since 2015, TransJakarta has been exclusively using prepaid cards, instead of cash or paper tickets. The prepaid cards are bank-issued cards from BRI (Brizzi), BCA (Flazz), BNI (TapCash), Mandiri (e-money), Bank DKI (JakCard), and Bank Mega (MegaCash). You can get one from TransJakarta bus shelters or at the aforementioned Bank who issued it. If you choose to get one from the bus shelter, it will be priced around Rp40.000 with Rp20.000 credit included.
Price : 05.00 – 07.00 (Rp2.000), 07.00 – 05.00 (Rp3.500) (Flat rate)

Opened to the public in March 2019, Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system is built in the hope of helping to lessen traffic jams in Jakarta. Unfortunately, because it is still a recent system, there aren't many stops yet. MRT Jakarta is still undergoing further development and for now only has one line, .i.e. North-East Line with 13 stops from Lebak Bulus to Bundaran HI. The transit stations are centered around the business hubs of Jakarta to cater to the large-quantity of commuting workers. Typical of Jakarta's other modes of public transportation, it can get overcrowded during lunch hour and in the evening, after office hours.
MRT also uses the prepaid card issued from banks. But, it also uses Jelajah, a payment card that is issued by MRT Jakarta itself which is sold at ticketing machines and counters at the stations. The fare of MRT is a bit higher than the average price of public transportation in Jakarta, but with less traveling time and a chance to avoid traffic, it is worth it to spend a bit more.
Price : Starts from Rp3.000/trip (Price depends on the distance)

LRT Jakarta
Finished by the end of 2019, Jakarta Light Rail System (LRT) is the newest public transportation in Jakarta. For now, it has 16 cars operating in one route between Velodrome and Kelapa Gading with only six stations: Velodrome, Equestrian, Pulomas, Boulevard Selatan, Boulevard Utara, and Pegangsaan Dua. Because of the close distance, it will only take approximately 3 minutes of travel time between each station. The six transit stations are integrated with BRT stations where you can get a connection to other areas using TransJakarta busses. Similar to the other public transportations we mentioned above, it accepts payment in the form of prepaid cards issued by the banks or a Single Trip Card (STJ) available at the Ticket Vending Machine (TVM), which costs Rp20.000 with Rp5.000 credit included.
Price : Rp5.000/trip (Flat rate)

The commuter line of Indonesia Railway Company or PT.KAI caters to the commuters from Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) which include Jakarta and its satellite towns. The KRL Commuter Line is probably the most crowded public transportation in the Greater Jakarta with more than a million passengers a day. Constructed in 2008, the commuter line has the widest reach than any other mode of public transportation in Jakarta, reaching Bekasi, Depok, Bogor, and Tangerang Selatan on the outskirts of Jakarta region. Now it has 90 trains in service to sustain the need for cheap and accessible public transport. Before riding the KRL Commuter Line, you must download KRL Access on Play Store, which is an app that displays information about the schedule of a certain station or route. That way you can predict when you should arrive at the station and never be late again.
Similar to previous public transportations, it accepts prepaid cards issued by the banks or e-tickets issued by PT.KAI. There are two types of e-ticket: KMT or "Kartu Multi Trip" (Multi Trip Card) and THB or "Tiket Harian Berjamin" (Single Trip Card), both you can get at the counters or TVM. If you are planning to use the commuter line regularly, we recommend you to buy the Multi Trip Card.

Zika is spreading like wildfire, but soon we might have a solution
A review published in the journal Science reveals that Zika-bearing mosquitoes are not only rapidly spreading, but are able to adapt quickly to different climates.
What we know about their behaviour
Professor Jeffrey Powell reviewed a number of scientific studies about the spread of these mosquitoes. And what he discovered was quite disconcerting. Powell said:
This is a dynamic species that is changing rapidly as it adapts to human activities.
For example, they can survive in Washington D.C.'s cold winters, by entering sewers. During California's drought they populate areas with swimming pools. They can hitchhike on plants and used tyres, which are then shipped to other parts of the world.
The role of global warming
Human activity is also increasing the spread and adaptability of these mosquitoes in other ways. Powell added:
Young people making climate change 'hot topic', Greta Thunberg tells Davos elite
The Canary , 21st January 2020
The UK government's official response to the Australian wildfires is absolutely staggering
Tracy Keeling , 9th January 2020
National Trust plans massive woodland expansion to offset emissions
The Canary , 9th January 2020
We are getting warmer and it won't take much before mosquitoes expand their northern limits.
With the planet warming at an unprecedented pace, we are essentially creating new homes for this Zika-bearing species of mosquito.
The Paris climate deal aims to limit the global temperature increase. Warming the environment of these mosquitoes boosts their rates of reproduction. So even more reason to commit to the Paris pledges.
A dangerous species of mosquito
The Zika-carrying mosquito, Aedes aegypti, also transmits yellow fever and chikunguya. The effects of Zika can be alarming.
As previously reported in The Canary, the Zika virus can cause Guillain-Barre syndrome, microcephaly, and other neurological disorders.
A potential solution
As alarming as these findings are, scientists are collaborating in order to find a way to treat Zika infection. Recently, a team of researchers discovered the mechanism by which C10, a human antibody, prevents Zika infection at a cellular level.
Slowing down the rate of global warming and accelerating the development of C10 as a Zika therapy might be the most effective way to combat this dreaded disease.

Connect Sports is proud to announce it will partner with the U.S. Center for SafeSport (the Center) to bring comprehensive abuse prevention training to sports tourism professionals. The Center conducted a presentation at Connect Sports' annual conference, held this year in Salt Lake City, Aug. 23-25.
In this partnership, Connect Sports is putting itself at the forefront of the biggest issue facing athletics. The Center is a leader in protecting athletes on and off the field of play and providing education, awareness and outreach to myriad organizations, including the U.S. Olympic Movements' national governing bodies attending Connect Sports, the annual conference featuring the world's largest collection of rights holders and sports planning organizations.
Patrick Higgins, SDL, vice president of meeting and events at Connect, says the Center's work is at the very heart of what all sports tourism officials should be focusing on.


At this stage in my career, I've met thousands of entrepreneurs, worked with hundreds of companies, and diagnosed business problems in countless forms. Of all the afflictions impeding growth in nascent enterprise, one has proven most difficult to cure: Entrepreneur's Disease (a.k.a. Founder's Syndrome or Founderitis). While the preceding condition symptomatically presents in complex variations, acute cases are easily identified by experienced venture practitioners and most often result in a commercially terminal prognosis. So, what do we look for in the course of an examination?

More Than 80 Percent of the Most Popular Novels Are Written by Men
BY Emily Petsko
iStock.com/rihard_wolfram
What do The Great Gatsby, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Of Mice and Men, and The Lord of the Rings all have in common? Sure, they're among America's most popular fiction books, but they also happen to be written by men. Over 80 percent of the 100 most popular novels were written by male authors, according to an interactive infographic created by Wordery.
Using data from Ranker on the best books (as voted on by users), Wordery broke the picks down by male and female authors, as well as the books preferred by male and female readers. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien was the second most-popular book overall, followed by George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, then Tolkien's The Hobbit.
If there's any silver lining, it's the fact that Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is the most popular book overall. Among women voters, it was the top choice. Among men, it came in second after Nineteen Eighty-Four. Lee's classic tale was also named America's Favorite Novel following a nationwide survey last October.
Other female-authored books to make Wordery's list include Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and several of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels. However, this contingent is still in the minority. A study from 2018 found that three of the leading literary publications devoted less than 40 percent of their coverage to women authors the previous year. Another analysis from last year found that female authors and female characters in literature both steadily declined from the Victorian era to the mid-20th century.
On the bright side, progress has been made in recent years, and female authors dominated the bestseller lists in 2017—at least in the UK. If you're looking to make your reading list a little more gender-balanced, check out our list of 25 amazing books by women authors.

One of Late Om Puri's last works as an actor, A Million Rivers will be screened during the ongoing third edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale (KMB) on Tuesday as a tribute to the iconic actor who passed away last month. The hour-long film will be showcased in a special package, titled 'Cinema from the Sub-continent', on Tuesday at the Pavilion, Cabral Yard in Kochi from 6.30pm, informed a press release.
The short feature film revolves around a broken marriage that stars actor-theatre personality Lillete Dubey as the female lead character. Puri's character is confronted with his mortality, according to the release, and chooses not to return to his wife in this state. He instead, drifts into a kind of a fantasy land which forms the core of the issues that the film deals with.
Shot in black and white, it explores themes like violence, aggression, identity crises and fragmentation along with social issues like female empowerment. It presents memory as an elliptical reality and speaks of unrequited love through multiple points of view.
"Om Puri seemed to work intuitively without labouring over the back story as a way to define the persona. His scenes are at times absurd, dark, thoughtful, and mostly fluctuating between that dream versus reality space as his character starts to split apart mentally and emotionally," said director Sarah Singh, who is making her debut through A Million Rivers.

Slide Friendly - The new symmetrical, micro-rocker design allows for effortless slides and small/medium hill freeride. This is a new feature on the Maestro and we're stoked to head the feedback that so many of you shared. Push forward and get sideways easier.
Born In NYC - We designed it to be the most efficient, most fun way around the city. Whether you're weaving cabs on Broadway or cruising to class 3,000 miles away, the Maestro is the ultimate comfortable cruiser with a low platform, smooth flex and hard carving leverage.
This year we set out to rethink a better Maestro that maintained everything that riders loved about the PUSH-feature, while achieving a new versatility that fit within our #skateeverything family ethos.
"My friend had a Maestro and after I tried it I was hooked. I was riding a cheap longboard I got from Zumiez, but I got a Maestro for my birthday and never looked back. Because of us everyone in my neighborhood is getting Bustin Boards and I see so many people pushing in my town. I'm really glad I found out about you guys and I'm always available to help out here Northern Virginia." Riley from Vienna, VA.
"The Maestro changed my life! No seriously, I work in Manhattan and used to spend 1/2 an hour each morning sitting in the miserable stone-faced subway car with a million depressed people crammed in with me. After I got the board I started pushing around the park and finally worked up to the bike path. Now I'm so comfortable on this thing that I push to work almost every day (unless it rains or snows). You guys f*cking rule, thanks!" Tom from New York City.
"I grew up skating a penny board but wanted something more functional for college. I had heard about the Maestro Pusher from some friends and my parents let me build a custom as a graduation gift. This thing is a dream for getting around school and blowing off steam when more courses get stressful. Keep up the good work Bustin homies!" Kyle from Blacksburg, VA.


The essence of this practice is to become aware of the judgements which we make in our minds and to see how these affect our experience of life and how they prevent us from realising who we really are.
Many people who consider themselves to be on a spiritual path aspire to being non-judgemental. But prefixing what we say with phrases like "I don't mean to sound judgemental" or "this is not meant as a judgement" does not mean that we are being non-judgemental. It merely means we are claiming to be non-judgemental and trying to convince ourselves and others that we are not standing in judgement. Equally, being quiet and not engaging with someone verbally whilst secretly thinking that the other person is wrong or stupid, does not mean we are being non-judgemental.
All judgements have one thing in common. They state that one thing is better than another, or that one way is better than another. If we have opinions then we make judgements. If we feel passionate about something we make judgements.
The thing about judgements is that they belong to the mind. The mind is constantly processing data and calculating which path is the best one to take. But the mind can prove or disprove anything. It can even prove and disprove the same thing. So the mind is not a reliable ally when it comes to discerning the most appropriate course of action to take.
If we try to be non-judgemental and say that everyone is free to do whatever they feel is right, doesn't that mean we will simply stand by and watch as people cut down rainforests and wage war? How can we actively engage in standing up for what we feel is right without entering into judgement? Is it even possible?
When we look at these issues relating to non-judgement we find, as we do when discussing most spiritual qualities, that there are a number of fine lines to tread. We seek to practise non-judgement without becoming disempowered. We seek to be tolerant without standing aside and simply allowing everything and anything to happen.
It is only by going beyond the mind that we can intuit or discern the most appropriate course of action for us. If we think about it and try to rationalise it we can come up with valid arguments both for and against following the same path. It is only by going deeper within us, beyond the ordinary thinking mind, that we can connect with a part of our being that knows what is right for us.
Although many of us may aspire to serenity, to live in non-judgement, and to treat everything with equanimity, in reality our lives are much more animated. We have within us the force of creation and destruction, a kind of spiritual fire. Trying too hard to practise non-judgement and equanimity can lead to a suppression of these forces which ultimately need to be expressed.
When we look within it is important that we allow whatever we find to be expressed. We may find hatred, intolerance or judgement but if we don't allow that to come out we may never learn how it came to be and never learn to move beyond it. Being annoyed with someone's behaviour and pretending that we are not standing in judgement will do us no good at all.
Usually, if we find ourselves being judgemental towards someone, it is a mirror for something in ourselves. If we believe that someone is being a fake we might need to look at where in our own lives we are not being true to ourselves and not walking our talk. This is where we need to learn to apply the principle of non-judgement in relation to our own lives. If we look within and find hatred, and if we stand in judgement of that hatred, then it will continue to live within us as an energy which will undermine so many of our attempts at being compassionate, tolerant or caring.
Many of us have negative self-beliefs and low self-esteem which hold us back. These need to be faced with courage if we are to realise that who we are is someone much greater than we ever gave ourselves credit for.
Many spiritual paths emphasise the need for love and light. We are encouraged towards saintly behaviour. We are encouraged to be nice and think nice thoughts. But the truth for most people is that inside we have many conflicts. We may try to be nice on the outside but that belies what is really going on within us. We all have fears. We all have judgements. We all have prejudices of some sort. So by trying too hard to be nice and peaceful on the outside, we actually encourage the energy of conflict to grow within us.
We need to explore the darkness within us if we are to experience wholeness.
Nearly every day it seems that there is a story on the news about someone who was punished, threatened, or had to resign from his job because of something he said. Censorship is rife in our culture. We may think we live in a democracy with freedom of speech but there is an undercurrent spread by the media which says "be careful what you say or you might get into trouble". This undercurrent simply adds to the feelings that many people have, that it is not safe to express what they find within.
We need to learn to express ourselves, to speak about what we feel and what we think, and most importantly, we need to learn to listen to other people, to learn why they think and feel what they do. Simply saying that someone is wrong for saying something does not help. If someone has anger and directs that towards a group of people, we need to understand why that person has anger and why they are directing it in that way. Simply standing in judgement and claiming that we are more civilised, more intelligent or more spiritually advanced does not help in the slightest.
If we notice that we have formed a judgement about someone we can try to put ourselves in his shoes and ask why he may behave the way he does. We can also learn to differentiate between the person and the behaviour – perhaps we may not like the behaviour but we can practise a different kind of non-attachment and non-identification by seeing that the person is not the behaviour.
Furthermore, there are no absolutes in the world of duality – there are only relative truths. We may think we know good from bad but these judgements are subjective and are creations of our own minds. We can aid our practice of non-judgement by enquiring as to how we know that what we think is bad really is bad. If we respond to someone's behaviour in an emotional way – if his behaviour carries an emotional charge for us – it signifies that we have something still to learn about this behaviour. By looking deep within ourselves and asking why this behaviour bothers us so much, we can gain deeper insights into ourselves and life in general.
Judgements create certainties in the mind. Certainties make us feel safe. But are they real and do they really serve our development?

Finding out who we are is a hard lesson. Finding out who our loved ones truly are is even harder.
And changed my world like an ever changing sea.
You showed me a man in a world full of boys.
Feelings soon fading like a harsh tide rolling in.
Hearts would be broken like no heart should ever feel.
The man I once loved, has shown no signs that he's grown.
Proud of each golden heart that his hand eventually rusted.
pure fiction, unwell written, not at all how he seemed.
I have grown since that time and my foolishness ways.
for it's only a heartache from a heartless boy.

Those "radical feminists" who wish to exclude trans women and sex workers from feminist spaces are upset that they've…

Rossinavi to Present Flying Dagger at MYS
By Andrew Johansson
Italian shipyard Rossinavi has revealed it will present its 49m Flying Dagger at the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) later this month.
We reported on the launch of the motoryacht — which was commissioned by a private client — back in April 2018. Flying Dagger features an exterior by Venice-based Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design and an interior by Rome-based Lazzarini Pickering Architetti.
Constructed from aluminium, the superyacht offers the latest in noise and vibration reduction techology to provide a quieter and more enjoyable interior. It is a feature that is likely to prove useful when the yacht pushes towards its impressive top speed of 31 knots, with a cruising speed of 24 knots, while achieving 3,300nm at a speed of 12 knots. This performance is thanks to three MTU 16V2000 M96L engines coupled to Kamewa waterjets. The waterjets are part of the reason why the motoryacht's draught is no more than two metres, which when combined with an air-conditioned engine room make the idea of exploring the Caribbean even more tempting — if an owner ever needed to be tempted to the region that is.
Not too much is known about her interior except that the sub-500gt motoryacht offers a beam of 8.9m with the owner's suite, which includes a terrace that is accessed via glass sliding doors, is located on the main deck forward. While four spacious double cabins on the lower deck can sleep 10 guests.
"The interior design of this project has been realised with the idea of feeling the water from every corner of the boat," says Federico Rossi, COO at Rossinavi. "The main saloon features three large glass floor-to-ceiling doors to enjoy the view of the sea but also allowing the space to transform into an al fresco dining area."
Flying Dagger will be present at this year's Monaco Yacht Show, which runs from 26 to 29 September.

'Selfless' Physician Honored for Service in Caribbean
When a massive earthquake struck Haiti on Jan. 12, Stephanie Wang, MD, medical director of Rush University Internists, was in a unique position to help. For the past five years, Wang has organized and led physicians and students at Rush University Medical Center on volunteer medical missions to the Dominican Republic, which shares a border with Haiti on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.
Wang led a team of 18 volunteers from Rush, who traveled to Haiti via the Dominican Republic in late January. The team spent 10 days providing medical care in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's earthquake- devastated capital.
In recognition of both her lifesaving work in Haiti and her ongoing service in the Dominican Republic, Wang received this year's Henry P. Russe, MD, Humanitarian Award. The award honors the memory and humanitarian efforts of its namesake — the dean of Rush Medical College and vice president of medical affairs from 1981 to his death in 1991 — and is given to members of the Rush staff who demonstrate an ongoing commitment to the well-being of others in their work.
'Thinks only of others'
"She is a selfless individual who thinks only of others and giving back," says David Ansell, MD, MPH, vice president for clinical affairs and chief medical officer, who was part of the Wang-led volunteer team to Haiti and who also has taken part in some of the Dominican Republic missions. "When you do this kind of work you realize how blessed we are to have what we have, and to be able to give our patients what we have as far as our skills and resources. That's what drives the passion that Stephanie has."
Wang's relationships in the Dominican Republic enabled her team to get to Haiti when others couldn't, because the earthquake had left the airport in Port-au-Prince inoperable. "We had the contacts and the knowledge of the terrain and the means to maneuver," she says.
The team flew into Santo Domingo, the Dominican capital, then traveled in a bus for hours over dirt roads to reach Port-au-Prince. During the team's stay, they treated more than a thousand patients suffering from fractures, wounds, infections, and even heart and kidney failure.
Physicians on the team also performed 30 to 50 surgeries daily and organized an intensive care unit in the tent hospital on the grounds of General Hospital, Port-au-Prince's main hospital. "We wanted to make sure that future teams coming to Haiti would have better conditions than what we found when we got there," Wang says.
Work is ongoing
Those subsequent teams have included other members of the Rush community. As of mid-June, seven groups totaling more than 50 clinicians from Rush have volunteered in Haiti. The teams have expanded their scope, working with communities outside Port-au-Prince and looking for places where Rush volunteers can maintain a long-term presence to help the community develop its health care capabilities.
Wang's work in Peralta, a village of 20,000 people in a remote rural area in the Dominican Republic, provides an example of such an ongoing, developmental effort. Part of the goal is to help Peralta develop a self-sustaining health system.
Her work also has an educational purpose, providing Rush residents and students with an exposure to tropical medicine. In addition to her administrative and patient care responsibilities at Rush University Internists, Wang is the associate director of Rush's residency program in internal medicine. She trained in the program herself and received her medical degree from Rush Medical College.
"Having trained at Rush, I have reaped the benefits of great teaching and role-modelling," Wang says. "However, there were no opportunities available at the time for international medical service. This program has helped provide such an opportunity for the current generation of Rush students and residents."
'Part of the social contract'
The Dominican missions have taken place four times a year since 1995. Wang and other volunteers have flown to Santa Dominica, then made the three-hour drive west to Peralta. They stay one to two weeks, providing primary care in Peralta and traveling into the surrounding mountains to deliver the three-month supply of medications they've brought for residents of the outlying communities who are unable to come to the village. Members of the team also perform general, reconstructive, urological, and ear, nose and throat surgeries, and have completed about 400 procedures to date.
Along with direct care, the teams train community health promoters to provide primary health care in the area. "We're starting to see measurable improvements there," Wang says. "We've been able to help establish public health systems by teaching the health promoters about basic health processes and to help the village set up a water purification plant run out of the clinic."
Just as her teams are building Peralta's health care capacity, Wang is building the abilities of her Rush colleagues. Jennifer Tobin, MD, internal medicine, now leads her own team on one of the quarterly missions.
Even though Wang is no longer traveling to the Dominican Republic four times a year, coordinating the missions remains a major time commitment to undertake on top of her other duties. "Obviously, this is something I believe in, and gives me a lot of energy," she says. "I'm a doctor, and this is where my skills are. It's part of the social contract. You're expected to contribute what you have the capability of contributing."

Q: Totals on multple case conditions - mySql I am attempting to translate the query in this question into mySql, as we moved the data from an access db to a new structure.
I have come up with the following, since there are multiple conditions (Value of '' or 'Did Not Compete'), and I was getting the following error (Since resolved, see edit 2 below).

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'then 0 else 1 end) AS 'Total Weapons',
        SUM( case when ( tourney_info.c_we' at line 7

The query is as follows:
SELECT school_num, 'Total Form and Sparring', 'Total Weapons', 'Total Combat', 'Total Form and Sparring' + 'Total Weapons' + 'Total Combat' AS 'Total Entries'
FROM
(
  SELECT
  tourney_info.school_num,
  SUM(  case when tourney_info.t_forms IN ('', 'Did Not Compete') AND tourney_info.spar IN ('','Did Not Compete')
        then 0
        else 1
        end) AS 'Total Form and Sparring',
  SUM( case when tourney_info.t_weps IN ('','Did Not Compete') then 0 else 1 end) AS 'Total Weapons',
  SUM( case when tourney_info.c_weps IN ('', 'Did Not Compete') then 0 else 1 end) AS 'Total Combat'
FROM
  tourney_info
WHERE school_num = '546' AND tourn_date > '2018-04-20' AND tourn_date < '2018-04-22'

) AS derived

Once the error was resolved as per the comments, the query gives the following results:
school_num  Total Form and Sparring     Total Weapons   Total Combat    Total Entries
    546     Total Form and Sparring     Total Weapons   Total Combat    0

Edit #2, after looking back at the field specifications, as a test query showed me that someone set the field to be 10 chars, and my 'Do Not Compete' was truncated on import:
If I take the interior query out as follows, I get individual totals, however I do not get a cumulative total:
  SELECT
  tourney_info.school_num, 'Total Form and Sparring' + 'Total Weapons' + 'Total Combat' AS 'Total Entries',
  SUM(  case when tourney_info.t_forms IN ('', 'Did Not Co') AND tourney_info.spar IN ('','Did Not Co')
        then 0
        else 1
        end) AS 'Total Form and Sparring',
  SUM( case when tourney_info.t_weps IN ('','Did Not Co') then 0 else 1 end) AS 'Total Weapons',
  SUM( case when tourney_info.c_weps IN ('','Did Not Co') then 0 else 1 end) AS 'Total Combat'
FROM
  tourney_info
WHERE tourney_info.school_num = '546' AND tourney_info.tourn_date > '2018-04-20' AND tourney_info.tourn_date < '2018-04-22'

Result set:

A: In the latest iteration (edit #5), the problem would be that you can't use column aliases within the query where they're declared. You can either go back to the original query (get the total for each category in a sub-query, and add them together using the aliases in the main query), or do this:
SELECT
  tourney_info.school_num,
  SUM(  case when tourney_info.t_forms IN ('', 'Did Not Co') AND tourney_info.spar IN ('','Did Not Co')
        then 0
        else 1
        end)
  + SUM( case when tourney_info.t_weps IN ('','Did Not Co') then 0 else 1 end)
  + SUM( case when tourney_info.c_weps IN ('','Did Not Co') then 0 else 1 end) AS 'Total Entries',
  SUM(  case when tourney_info.t_forms IN ('', 'Did Not Co') AND tourney_info.spar IN ('','Did Not Co')
        then 0
        else 1
        end) AS 'Total Form and Sparring',
  SUM( case when tourney_info.t_weps IN ('','Did Not Co') then 0 else 1 end) AS 'Total Weapons',
  SUM( case when tourney_info.c_weps IN ('','Did Not Co') then 0 else 1 end) AS 'Total Combat'
FROM
  tourney_info
WHERE tourney_info.school_num = '546' AND tourney_info.tourn_date > '2018-04-20' AND tourney_info.tourn_date < '2018-04-22'

A: SUM( case when tourney_info.t_weps IN ('','Did Not Co')
     then 0 else 1 end) AS 'Total Weapons',

-->
SUM(tourney_info.t_weps NOT IN ('','Did Not Co')) AS 'Total Weapons',

This works because "boolean" expressions evaluate to either 1 (for true) or 0 (false).
