Are reality TV worlds colliding and giving us an unexpected romance? Fans are shipping Teen Mom 2's Briana DeJesus and Floribama Shore's Gus Smyrnios after seeing a photo she posted to Instagram on July 11. To be fair, Gus's co-stars and Briana's sister were also in the snap, since they were all appearing on MTV's TRL.
Gus smiled while posing alongside Brittany DeJesus, Candace Rice, Briana, and Jeremiah Buoni in the behind-the-scenes pic. Even so, Briana's followers were going nuts in the comment section, especially after their exchange of words. "Great to meet you ❤," Gus wrote, while the Teen Mom star casually responded: "like wise ❤❤❤." Some thought they were totally flirting and it wasn't long before fans were planning out their future together.
"You'll be the next baby daddy watch out now lol," one wrote while tagging Gus. Another added, "Omg girl. You guys would be such a cute couple. I swear ya'll look good together. I definitely see a power couple right here. Ya feel me!" Others were simply loving how the MTV stars from different shows were all together in Times Square, NYC, for the special occasion.
It wasn't long ago that Briana admitted she was single, so fans are hoping that Gus (who is also an eligible bachelor) might have caught her eye. Either way, the stars appeared to have an absolute blast while hitting up the Big Apple, shortly after Floribama's Season 2 premiere set a ratings high for MTV with nearly one million viewers, so there was plenty to celebrate!

K I M Y A H - a hopeless brand for Women
A women's ready-to-wear brand, who want to raise money to set up our first collection and our information serial on women's conditions.
I have always wanted to have my own clothing brand, a brand in the image of women, a brand in my own image, but I also have my struggles, my struggles against this patriarchal society where women face too much at stake.
A society where women are afraid to take the plunge.
Today I am taking courage for all women who are afraid in order to encourage personal achievement and to show that it is normal to be afraid, that if you are not afraid it is because you certainly do not have enough ambition, and that every woman has the potential to be the woman she wants to become.
As we know, violence against women is more and more present in our society: one out of three women, according to UNIFEM, has been raped, beaten, forced to have sex or abused at least once in her life. All this violence is often accompanied by psychological violence that shatters millions of women around the world.
Beyond all this, women are also victims of our society, a society that looks more like men than women. A society where men still have easier access to schooling than women in many countries. A society where women can be condemned for their choices. A society where genital mutilation still exists. A society where women are told what they should be and what they should look like.
KIMYAH's print "The Future is Female"
- painted by the founder
KIMYAH is a women's ready-to-wear brand, our goal is to give every woman, regardless of origin or body size, the opportunity to be confident with her body. In short, to be in peace with herself.
KIMYAH means peace in Lingala, a language spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A country full of wealth, like every woman. But the Democratic Republic of Congo is unfortunately also the second most dangerous country for women in terms of sexual violence (it is estimated that more than 1000 women are raped there every day).
This brand doesn't aim to speak about a single struggle, it aims to speak about the constant struggle in women's life, at every level.
Peace is Freedom - The freedom to study, the freedom to choose how to dress, the freedom to have or not to have an abortion, the freedom to not be forced to have sex, it is simply the freedom to be treated as a human being. And it's all about KIMYAH.
THE SOCIAL MEDIA INFORMATIVE PROJECT
In order to sensitize Internet users, we will also conceptualize a concept called "This is Our Society", which is short videos about the conditions of women in our society, tackling subjects that are taboo or not, known or less known, that are happening on a global scale. Specifying clearly that no one is to be blamed for the problem, but each of us is RESPONSIBLE for the SOLUTION.
WHY ARE WE HERE TODAY
We are raising funds today to be able to conceptualize our first collection of all types of clothing, as it is difficult to finance a major project for a group of young people at the end of their studies.
We want to give beautiful clothes that go from casual, to work clothes, to large size, to veiled Muslim or not women's clothing, because all types of women should be the focus of ready-to-wear brands.
We are therefore asking for your help, in order to give life to a beautiful project, which could be one of the building blocks for a better world for women.

When I saw Assault Gunners HD Edition scream onto the Switch eShop I was instantly star struck. The large and varied mechs made themselves visibly known and the customization screamed Armored Core for me. With all that infatuation being thrown my way, I had to give this game a look. So without further adieu, let us jump right on in and say… This game is a bit of everything. From the overly simple mission types, to the awesome variation in mech-customization, to the paltry AI, Assault Gunners HD Edition brings everything it can to the Switch.
The mission types are of a standard affair and usual drive the player to do a cyclical task of holding zones or defeating enemies. While it is far from a demanding game, it does get pretty hectic when you have multiple enemies gunning you and your allies down in the harder modes. Even some of the later missions provide you time constraints and insane amounts of enemies. Your AI buddies, while upgradeable always seem to be in the way of enemy fire, i.e. standing still and running towards a missile barrage, thus rendering themselves completely useless. While it is not impossible to complete a mission on your own, it is a bit more difficult. That being said the missions and their difficulty modifiers are more than adequate to keep the player entertained and challenged.
Within each mission is a larger, branching narrative about interstellar strife and you the player leading a DAT strike force on Mars. This branch is tasked with handling a sudden uprising of the automated machine labor force and has to maintain the peace, while the struggling colony grapples with this sudden and dangerous situation. Not an engaging narrative, but not a terrible one. I did not find myself once fully engaged with the story and while most games that would be seen as negatively impacting, it doesn't really matter for this title. The missions are what flesh out the game and it is the fun that one gets out of those missions that really matters. The only issue I had with story points was that of seemingly missing subtitles(?) and having exhausted my options for enabling them I am left to guess as to what is transpiring. Again though, the main emphasis for this game is the swarm/horde gameplay versus an engaging narrative.
Bringing us to the gameplay aspect, which is pretty darn solid, if not a little stiff. Like any other good mecha-game before it, Assault Gunners HD Edition brings a mech game unlike any other to the Switch and it is great. The enemy variety and difficulty is only matched by you perfecting your mechs into the ultimate killing machines. It is amazingly satisfying to trounce through swaths of enemy forces with a missile barrage or canon barrage. The emphasis on fighting drove of robotic enemies is even reinforced through the games Inferno Mode. A mode which ultimately ends up just chucking wave after wave of enemies at you, ramping in difficulty as you progress through the main missions to unlock newer levels. Outside of gameplay types, you of course have the other meat of the game and that is the level of customization in your mechs. Want one with treads or a bipedal leg? Go for it. Want to use nothing but lasers and rockets? Knock your socks off!
The only limitation is the in-game currency, which you unlock by simply playing the game; awesome! You even get access to different torso designs so you are able to customize not only yourself, but the looks of your AI comrades too. This gives the player a chance to fully specialize each mech on their team for a certain task. Not too bad for a Nintendo Switch game am I right? That being all said, this is a very bear bones game and that is where it hurts most. You don't have an expansive and sprawling map to explore nor super awesome AI or dynamic gameplay. What you do get is a game that is built for the busy among us, the grab and go gamers.
Being able to not have to worry about saving or being locked into an hour long mission is what gives this game an appeal. Each mission can be completed in about 15 minutes or less, depending on difficulty of course. This in of itself is worth it, especially since you are only paying 9.99USD (11.99USD if you opt for the complete edition which bundles the 4.99USD DLC pack). The DLC pack is not bad for 5 bucks either as it grants you fifteen more missions, more inferno maps and more equipment. So all in all the amount of return versus initial investment you get is pretty phenomenal.

Finished my seventh novel titled A Good Eye on Everything
Gila Green
In 2013, I published a short story titled Mother, Daughter, Mercenary in an international crime fiction magazine titled Noir Nation.
I always wanted to go back to that story and I expanded on it in another short story titled Cutty Sark, published in 2018 in Writer's Bone in their December issue.
Though at first glance these two short stories are unrelated --except that they both deal with family relationships and crime--they became two sections of one narrative in my mind. Finally, I'm thrilled to say they have come together greatly expanded in one novel that is also #ownvoices #Jewish in my desire to continue to expand Jewish Literature to include Yemenite and Sephardi voices.
I'm so grateful to my two beta readers: author and photographer Rivka Begun in Switzerland and author Christi R. Suzanne in Portland, Oregon. I'm also grateful to the people who set up social media writers groups so that we can find these amazing creatives and exchange work. I'm a huge fan of writers helping and supporting other writers and they have both added greatly to the manuscript, so a public 'thank you'. I encourage novelists looking for a new story to consider their short works as sources of inspiration.

Michael Ratcliffe
Michael Ratcliffe's first forays into the world of work were as a supply teacher in late 1950s' Manchester. He would go on to become literary editor and theatre critic of the Observer.
Ratcliffe wrote that, as a gay man, on early trips to London: 'I made sure I had a good look round Chelsea in the vague hope that corruption was being handed out, free, through the sash windows and glossy doors.' As a theatre critic, Ratcliffe could be coruscating and forthright, if not always in tune with popular opinion – in 1985 he described the original Les Misérables as a 'witless and synthetic entertainment' and lambasted the Royal Shakespeare Company for reducing Victor Hugo's novel 'to the trivialising and tearful aesthetic of rock opera'.

CRYSTAL PALACE whizkid Kian Flanagan has attracted interest from Tottenham and Liverpool.
The midfielder, 17, has caught the eye of scouts by playing in the Under-23s instead of his Academy.
His progress has meant a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad earlier this season, and he has also trained with the first-team at Palace.
Liverpool, along with Chelsea and Manchester United, were among the teams looking at him two years ago when he emerged as a huge Academy talent.
The teenager chose to stay at Selhurst Park for a better chance of breaking into the first team.
But his performances have sparked interest in rival clubs in taking the youngster before he pushes himself into Sam Allardyce's plans.


Slightly different post today, to mark four weeks until the launch of How Not to Get Hit I've put together a wee video which tries to capture the essence of what it is I'm trying to do.
Special thanks go to Jane and Joe Evans, who were fantastic sports and for which stardom no doubt beckons (Joe has even just bought himself a motorbike – how Hollywood is THAT?) and Ed Ley, whose gym in Bristol, Absolute Health served as a perfect backdrop for the daft Rocky training montage.

Ballet's Sergei Polunin: 'The artist in me was dying'
Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play.
Sergei Polunin explains why he felt compelled to quit the Royal Ballet
Sergei Polunin, the youngest dancer ever to be made a principal with the Royal Ballet, whose skill had earned him comparisons with Nureyev and Baryshnikov, shocked the dance world in January by unexpectedly quitting.
In his first broadcast interview since that decision he has spoken to BBC Newsnight about why he walked away.
Sergei Polunin readily admits that he is no fan of rehearsing, saying that it is only when performing that he enjoys dancing:
I do not want to sit and make a nest and be comfortable, and I did feel so comfortable that I stopped being involved as a person and an artist and that is not something I want
"That is the only time I enjoy our profession in a way - it is communicating with people and showing what you have learned in nine years.
"You learn and practice a lot, sometimes for months, you sometimes argue, and it is for nine hours a day. So when you are finally on stage, especially when it is finished, you have so much adrenalin, so much joy in your body, that feeling can keep you in the profession," he says.
However, it seems that for Polunin, at the age of just 22, the joy of performance is no longer sufficient when offset against the rigid discipline needed to be a ballet dancer.
Absolute focus
"You live the life of a dancer. It is not your job, it is your life, and you have to love it so much to be able to take it every day for six days a week, sometimes seven," he explains.
Polunin became the youngest Royal Ballet principal at the age of 19
It is this absolute focus on ballet, at the expense of everything else, which Polunin points to when asked about what sparked his shock exit:
"In a way I did feel that the artist in me was dying a little bit and I wasn't giving as much of myself and putting as much creativity into it as I could, as I should."
So, in January, just a week before he was due to appear as the lead in a production of The Dream he took Royal Ballet Director Dame Monica Mason aside and told her he was leaving.
Polunin says it was a decision driven not by a desire to give up, but by a desire to continue to achieve:
"I do not want to sit and make a nest and be comfortable, and I did feel so comfortable that I stopped being involved as a person and an artist and that is not something I want.
"I don't want to have comfort, I don't want to have a family, I don't want to have a flat - so I destroyed in a way everything I had in order to be able to build."
"It is almost like a delete button and you just want to start fresh."
Exploring new directions
Polunin says that taking such a drastic course of action made him feel good "because you just throw everything you had away and you clean yourself in a way".
Critics liken Polunin to ballet greats Nureyev and Baryshnikov
However, when asked if it has made him happy he says no, at least not yet:
"I can't say that I am happy now, I am still finding out what I am going to do… I am going to explore different directions."
For now that means continuing with dancing. He is about to perform in Men in Motion, a celebration of male ballet, with his friend Ivan Putrov, at Sadler's Wells theatre in London
Putrov, is keen that people see Polunin's decision to leave the Royal Ballet in a positive light - as a creative, rather than destructive step:
"Often people in the arts, not just in dancing, close themselves to only what they do and look just in one direction. They never look out and never explore and so they become claustrophobic in a way.
"It is one of the hardest things to stay free and keep being open, and maybe that is what Sergei is doing now, trying to be open to so many different things, which is wonderful."
Rehearsal regimen
One change in his life which Polunin does find agreeable is not having to attend rehearsals in the morning:
When I became a principal at the Royal Ballet it was my childhood goal, a dream and I became it at 19. And then I said 'what's next?' and I set myself a different goal at 19 to become an actor
"What's good for me is late in the evening, with plenty of time to wake up, to have a little bit of day and then come in."
However, he insists that he has still had to labour at rehearsals for this production:
"I have been working quite hard with this, learning new pieces that are 10 minutes long, five minutes long, and choreographing my own piece."
But even with the rehearsal set up being more to Polunin's liking, when asked if he expects to be dancing in five or six years' time the answer is currently no:
"I don't think I would want to be dancing in six years… but I would love to achieve something else in a different profession.
"Once you achieve something you just want to move on and achieve something else and keep achieving, like Alexander the Great - he captured one country and then he just kept doing it."
New goal
Polunin says that his next aim is to become a successful actor, something he says he first began to consider seriously after being promoted to principal at the end of the 2009-10 Royal Ballet season:
For now Polunin is dancing, performing in Men in Motion at Sadler's Wells
"When I became a principal at the Royal Ballet it was my childhood goal, a dream and I became it at 19. And then I said 'what's next?' and I set myself a different goal at 19 to become an actor.
"I started watching movies more carefully, watching actors - the way they act, the way the movie is filmed, just as a hobby in a way, but also something to progress to maybe in the future."
Watch Newsnight's full interview with Sergei Polunin on Tuesday 13 March 2012 at 10.30pm on BBC Two, then afterwards on the BBC iPlayer and Newsnight website.

The elbow is a well-used, sometimes overused, unique body part. It operates as both a hinge joint and rotating joint. Sports injuries are especially common in the elbow, from tennis elbow to golfer's elbow, and it's a prime source of tendonitis. Are you concerned about elbow pain? If so, learn more about common elbow injuries, types of orthopedic injuries we treat, read reviews, meet Dr. Peter Tsai and Dr. Keith Neaman, and see why patients choose Mend Clinic as their ER alternative in Salem, Oregon. Book your appointment online, walk-in, or call (971) 204-8410.
Even if you've never been on a tennis court, you could suffer from tennis elbow. Also known as lateral epicondylitis, this common injury usually needs just mild treatment. It presents as pain on the outside of the arm, close to the elbow point. Tennis elbow is an injury to the tendons and muscles in the forearm. Tendons, which connect bone to muscle, have a big job. Repetitive stress, whether it's hitting a tennis ball, chopping wood, or working as a butcher, can lead to tennis elbow.
Untreated tennis elbow can become long-term or chronic. Up to three percent of people have had tennis elbow, and most are between 30 – 50 years old. Butchers and assembly line workers especially suffer from tennis elbow, making it a common work-related injury. There's also golfer's elbow, which has the pain on the inside of the elbow and is caused by movements such as weight lifting, golf, and even shaking hands.
Not as well known as its cousin, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome stretches or puts pressure on the "funny bone," also known as the ulnar nerve. The funny bone isn't a bone at all, but a nerve that helps control the pinky and ring finger. It travels up the forearm, and cubital tunnel syndrome can cause a numbness or tingle in the pinky and ring finger.
The funny bone doesn't have much padding, which is why it's so easy to aggravate. Direct pressure, long bouts of stretching, and simply having the nerve move back and forth across the elbow bone can aggravate the nerve. Fortunately, treatment is usually mild when addressed early.
Ligaments are thick, fibrous materials that connect bone to bone and provide a cushion. The elbow includes three bones, and ligaments connect them and elbow sprains and other injuries are common. The two elbow ligaments include the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL, connecting the ulna bone), the radial collateral ligament (RCL, connecting the radius bone), and the annular ligament (covers the head of the radius to keep it in contact with the ulna).
The UCL can be frayed, torn, or stretched through repetitive stress injuries, usually throwing motions. Professional baseball pitchers are the most common athletes suffering from UCL injuries, but they are a common sports injury.
RCL ligament injuries of the elbow and annular ligament injuries are also often caused by overuse. However, ligament injuries can also be caused by sudden, forced arm twisting or a slip and fall that's "broken" with an outstretched hand.
When a bone or bones are forced out of their normal position, they become dislocated. This is often accompanied by a torn or sprained ligament, the connective tissue that links bone to bone. Since the elbow is comprised of three bones, the dislocation might be partial or complete. Elbow dislocations are rare, and usually occur during a slip and fall when a person breaks the fall with an outstretched hand. Falls can also cause turning and twisting, which can force the elbow from its socket. Work-related injuries, sports injuries, and car accidents are common causes of elbow dislocation.
The elbow is made up of three bones, and any of them can be fractured (broken). A bone break is painful and can lead to permanent disability if not quickly treated. Symptoms can also include swelling, stiffness, and bruising. Some people report a popping sound when an elbow is fractured, and sometimes a physical deformity might be evident. The three types of elbow fractures include the radial head/neck fractures, olecranon fractures, and distal humerus fractures (most common in the elderly and young children). Elbow fractures might be caused by slip and fall accidents, work-related injuries, and sports injuries.
Elbow pain can stem from many issues including torn elbow ligaments, elbow fractures, nerve damage including cubital tunnel syndrome, elbow lacerations, and dislocated elbows. The team at Mend Clinic works closely with the patient and their existing care team for fast, accurate diagnoses that lead to a holistic treatment plan.
Even minor elbow pain can be the sign of a more serious condition. Make your online appointment today with Mend Clinic and see an orthopedic specialist at the Salem urgent care clinic.

Cambodia: Release jailed union leaders and drop all charges unconditionally 8 minutes ago from Aotearoa Workers Solidarity Movement (New Zealand)

Who are " The White Rose"?
From	London Anti-Fascist Assembly (UK)
The White Rose, a name which originally was used by a group of young German students, executed for organising against the Nazi regime, is a name now abused by a new group deeply rooted in antisemitic conspiracy theories. The movement emerged in response to the governments' dire handling of the pandemic. Frustrated people have misdirected their anger at government bungling, lockdowns and masks, and have focused it on antisemitic conspiracy theories of the "New World Order" and a great "Plandemic". In the UK, these trends have largely come together in an anonymous Telegram group called " The White Rose".
The White Rose, which formed in late 2020, has built itself on several precedents. It goes without saying that even at the start of the pandemic, trust in governments worldwide was at a low point. Throughout 2020 this became much more pronounced, particularly in relation to policies pushed by many states, notionally aimed at tackling the devastation of the Covid-19 pandemic. While much of this distrust was rooted in genuine and tangible problems, there has also been an explosion of bizarre conspiracy theories, including fantasies about Communist Chinese plots, Jews, plotting doctors, big pharma and 5G towers. Above all others, the anti-vaccine movement is the largest and most influential conspiracy theory movement in the country.
"The website links to two other websites for similar groups in Ireland and the Netherlands.
The Irish website, which was created in late February 2021, trivializes the Holocaust even more explicitly.
The Irish website describes the quarantine hotels for travelers as concentration camps and the security guards in the hotels as Gestapo.
According to the website, it was "NOT Adolf Hitler who murdered millions of men, women and children," but doctors."
Quote from an article by by W. F Thomas, for German language publication " The Belltower"
Benefiting from the massive growth of conspiracy theory beliefs over the last 5 years, anti-vaccine groups have exploded in size since the start of the pandemic. In the latter half of 2020, much of this came to a head with a series of major demonstrations by a coalition of groups believing in various Coronavirus focused conspiracy theories. Originating with a german activist group, and using existing conspiracy theorist networks, this led to the formation of a large number of regionalised independent groups, all pushing the same message.
While QAnon dominates the conspiracy theorist scene in the US, White Rose is the largest and most coherent grouping in the UK, with a telegram channel containing tens of thousands of users, with hundreds of posts per day. Their telegram channel serves as a hub for designing and sharing propaganda, spreading new paranoid theories, indoctrination, and encouraging new members to get involved.
"…a breakdown and analysis of their Telegram group chat revealed that QAnon beliefs, along with antisemitism, ranked among sentiment in messaging. Naturally, in groups designed to oppose pandemic restrictions, the conversation quickly turns to fringe concerns befitting of their QAnon affinity and outright conspiracy such as masks being harmful or a control device, vaccines being dangerous or deadly, and the danger of the pandemic being grossly overstated. Outright denial that COVID-19 exists is also common."
Quote from a Logically Investigation by Joe Ondrak and Jordan Wildon
The actions of White Rose have been limited to big protests and overwhelmingly stickering all over London by using a tactic copied directly from the neo-Nazi "Hundred Handers". The White Rose Telegram channel admins recommend their activists rapidly decentralise and use Brother QL series thermal printers to print cheap but poor quality stickers, as well as purchasing or printing leaflets and posters. The aim of the organisers is to dump vast quantities of visual propaganda into the public consciousness using an army of eager, radicalised volunteers, constantly exposed to far right rhetoric. This tactic has been successful and has spread across the country and to Australia, the USA and New Zealand, as well as several other countries.
However, their actions are not limited to stickering unfortunately: Larger demonstrations in central London and in other cities have also seen clashes with police, which has further radicalised sections of the movement to agitate for all out war against all perceived enemies, not only including the police, but also various ethnic and social minorities. Protests have given participants the courage to commit antisemitic and other racist attacks, particularly in North London.
The White Rose chat officially has a policy of banning racist posters but this is sporadically enforced at best, and seems to exist largely to keep up a good front for "normies" entering the group. Explicit statements pushing for violence against Jewish people might sometimes get a user banned, but anything even vaguely subtle floats freely in White Rose chats alongside a conscious effort to co-opt the plight of the Jewish people during the holocaust. The talking points and imagery used on the stickers in particular equate the perceived "struggle" of covid-hoaxers to the oppression and persecution Jewish people as well as other marginalised groups faced during the horrors of the Holocaust. This is not only antisemitic and disgusting in itself, but alongside this, much of the White Rose focus on traditional Nazi dog whistles focusing on "elites", and "shady cabals" who supposedly run the world. Meanwhile far right groups and agitators essentially use the group as a recruiting and radicalisation ground, posting links to their own groups and various types of propaganda. While moderators on the main channel take down explicit calls for violence, the message remains clear.
Blood and Honour front group "Rock Against Communism"
march during a 2020 London antivaxx rally
Covid conspiracy theorists and White Rose have also continued to try and build a serious hatred against East and South East Asian people in the UK fuelling attacks in the street in multiple cities and building a stronger right wing anti-China narrative. This has prompted a response from groups like Stop Asian Hate UK (SAHUK) who emerged during the pandemic to respond to these attacks. On one occasion at a central London Stop Asian Hate Rally that took place at the same time as a "Freedom Rally", an organiser for SAHUK was even physically attacked by a Covid Hoaxer further cementing the need for physical responses to conspiracy theorists.
Their protests have been attended and supported by neo-Nazi group "Pie 'n' Mash Squad", far right party "For Britain", and other far right groups such as Rock Against Communism – A loose front group for the extreme Neo-Nazi Blood and Honour network (see photo) and others including radical right wing Christian groups. Similar things have been observed in countries like Germany where photos of neo-Nazis have been taken marching alongside the sister movement of White Rose in the country. The willingness of covid-hoaxers to walk alongside far right groups and individuals shows a tolerance for their ideas and actions which is unacceptable and dangerous, particularly when placed into an already antisemitic movement. As the expression goes "If there's a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you have a table with 11 Nazis."
Mark Collet at it again
A similar dynamic takes place in the online spaces of covid hoaxers, with white rose being one of a number of telegram channels and facebook groups where neo-Nazis are free to spread propaganda without consequence. The
main White Rose chat channel itself is frequently filled with antisemitic posts, and many groups have inserted themselves into this mix with ease. For example in "StandupX", one of the groups coordinating "Freedom Rallies", members of neo-Nazi Patriotic Alternative are free to send links, images and try and recruit like in the image seen here where a link is sent from leader of Neo-Nazi "Patriotic Alternative", and noted pedophile Mark Collett's channel.
Although not every attendee or sticker-wielding member of The White Rose is a convinced believer in far right ideology or Neo-Nazism, this free association with the far right combined with their racist messaging means that for all intents and purposes the White Rose as a group should be treated as far right by antifascists across the board. In an ideal world, this would have already happened throughout the pandemic.
White Rose and other conspiracy theorists present themselves as the victims of pandemic "tyranny" from the government, "forced" to wear masks and to get vaccinated; the real victims of the pandemic have been the millions left dead by the virus and by refusing masks and vaccinations, covid hoaxers practice an active attack on anyone vulnerable to Covid-19. However, furious denialism is rife in the antivaxx movement, with many adherents refusing to believe that people have even died, insisting that the real hoax is the pandemic itself, rather than say, any of the snake-oil sold to them by the huge array of scammers and grifters that infest online anti-vaccine spaces
Stickers will be available soon! 2 can play at this game…
It is very clear now that The White Rose and the "movement" of covid hoaxers are in a radicalisation spiral with "activists" now choosing to target schools in what is becoming some of their most sinister actions. A group called Outreach Worldwide was recently reported on the front page of the Daily Mail, for coordinating the mass harassment of schools. We have been monitoring that particular group, and several others of a similar nature for several months, since their appearance on the scene in late summer, and may post more material on them shortly.
Francesca Dill, or "Cheska" is at the heart of the Outreach Worldwide group, shepherding hundreds of activists to harass children and teachers, leading to centrist politicans to issue useless calls for her goup to be banned. needless to say, this easily could backfire if ever actually carried out.
Outreach Worldwide spent much of autumn using Telegram channels to coordinate surprise protest ations at school gates across the country, recording themselves harassing children and staff alike, frequently getting word of vaccination schedules ahead of time from sympathetic parents at local schools
Other countries have also seen similar phenomena. Antifascists based in North America have noticed an uptick in anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists in their local areas are advised to read this writeup from Dirty South Right Watch which also touches on White Roses growing development in the so called USA. The anti-vaccine movement has also exploded in Australia, with large protests fighting the australian police earlier this year, and a rapid increase in the number of users in white rose chats identifying as Australian, and sharing videos of the demonstrations at around the same time.
White Rose is a clear attempt to build an agitated, populist street movement in the UK, aimed entirely at the enemies of the far right. It is important that people step up to remove their propaganda safely by using keys or your own stickers (While uncommon, razor blades have apparently been placed behind white rose stickers more than once) and challenge anyone you know spouting their dangerous ideology.
This article is unlikely to be our last on this subject. Expect more from us regarding the White Rose and its various allies and offshoots.

OnlyFans mum 'borrowing money to feed kids after Barclays claimed she owed £1m'
A desperate mum has been forced to work overtime on her OnlyFans content after her bank account allegedly emptied to the tune of £1million.
Chantelle Howarth, 26, claims she saw two lots of £500,000 vanish into thin air – one time while she was at the bank sorting out the first one.
"It was scary," she told the Sun.

Now she's having to borrow money from her loved ones to try and pay her bills and is working overtime on her online business and OnlyFans account to try and bring in more custom.
From South Yorkshire, she claims she's never had an overdraft in her life and the "shocking" experience has already led to some of her bills bouncing.
According to the mum, there is no transaction for the money going out of her account.
She was forced to wait for three days while the Christmas bank holidays played out to try and sort out the initial £500,000, but when she went to her local branch, she claims staff were "withholding information."
While she was in the branch, she allegedly lost the second £500,000 chunk of cash, but the staff at the bank, she claims, were not very helpful.

"A manager came in and was really stern and said 'we can't give you any information.
"It felt like she was withholding information from me and was not sympathetic at all."
She says she, her boyfriend Matthew Siraki, 38 and their son, eight, are now having to live off any money they can find to pay their bills.
They's had to use the £60 in Matthew's account and have had to borrow £200 from friends.
Chantelle, who says she makes around £6,000 per month on OnlyFans, added: "They have given me nothing to do – we are going to have a rely on family. My VAT next month is due and it's £6,000."
She's now in overdrive, trying to grow her online business and drive people towards her racier OnlyFans page.
"I don't know if I'm going to get this money back so I was on live on TikTok. I thought I was going to have to get more people in."

Salisbury commemorated its 150-year anniversary this weekend with a sesquicentennial celebration.
Sesquicentennial festivities included various activities such as a parade and community dinner, geared toward promoting pride in Salisbury.
Pam Baer, head of the sesquicentennial committee, said the community was helpful throughout the anniversary planning process.
"This is a once in a lifetime event and we wanted to make the best of it," Baer said.
Most of the events, like the car show and food booths, were held at the Salisbury-Elk Lick High School and Elementary School.
"The school is the focal point of the town. We wanted the kids to participate," Baer said. The food booths and games were run by school groups.
Cassandra Spiker, a senior at Salisbury-Elk Lick High School, was working at a nail painting booth held by the home economics class.
"I wanted to do this because it's fun. When I graduate, I plan on going to school for it," Spiker said.
Another popular booth was the moon bounce sponsored by the Salisbury-Elk Lick teacher's association. It was letting children jump around in the moon bounce for 150 seconds for the town's anniversary.
Birdie Parisi, a volunteer at the moon bounce, said Salisbury is a great place to live and work.
"This place has alot of pride in itself, but especially the school. It's a huge part of the community. I'm proud to be a teacher here," Parisi said.
Salisbury Superintendent Joe Renzi said this event was a great opportunity to support the community. He said the students working the booths were fundraising for various clubs.
"This is all about teaching the students to get involved in their community," Renzi said.
The sesquicentennial will continues with a community worship service at 10:45 a.m. Sunday at the gym of the high school. This service will consist of six churches coming together. There will also be a community picnic lunch after the service. Attendants of the service are asked to bring a covered dish.

Can Politicians Really Be Sexy?
April 8, 2015 Lara Mills	Leave a comment
Lately it seems as though we've been bombarded by politics and politicians, with every news article, Facebook post and rumour relating to what has been said during the TV debate and the promises made in the run up to the general election.
When I think of politics, I tend to think of promises being made to win public favour that are almost immediately broken, and the leaflets that get shoved through your letterbox to go into the bin. For some people, it seems they think of something else… and that is the politicians themselves.
It seems that a lot of people find the current politicians in the running at the moment to be incredibly charming, mysterious, and even sexy. Yes, sexy politicians are a thing… and I take a look at some of the most disturbing things on the internet about them.
Making Scottish politics sexy?
If you take a look at politicians, their age, and their genders, you find that they are usually men between the ages of 40 and 60. In fact, the first woman who comes to my mind when thinking of politicians is Nicola Sturgeon, the currently Leader of the Scottish National Party.
Making politics sexy might be the best way of appealing to the younger generations and get them to actually vote, and it seems the best way of doing that is by getting more women into politics.
The website Ranker has a constantly changing list of "The Hottest Politicians You'd Definitely Vote For", with younger women dominating the list. Many have placed their votes, with the highest ranking politician receiving over 700 votes from members of the public to secure her position.
It was only a few months ago that we mentioned the Labour councillor in England who decided the best way to show her true colours and get votes was to share a sexy snap of herself in her underwear. Under the image of her in a sexy red and black basque you can read the words "I'm Labour through & through!".
Do we need to increase how sexy politics is to make potential voters more interested in it?
Are men in power hot?
Tony Blair, ex-Labour Party leader and Prime Minister of Great Britain, famously said that "people have often said to me that power is a kind of aphrodisiac, and so women – politics still being male-dominated – would come on to politicians in a way they would never dream of with anyone else."
Politics isn't as male-dominated as it used to be. The Leaders' Debate on ITV last week had three female party leaders (Natalie Bennet for Green, Leanne Wood for Plaid Cymru, and Nicola Sturgeon for the SNP) joining the other four male leaders for the debate.
Watching the debate, I can't say that I found the power of the men behind the stands all that sexy. In fact, if anything they were a turn off.
But it seems that there are sexy male politicians all over the world. Many women feel that Barack Obama is one of the sexiest presidents America has had before, and the Mayor of Pelotas in Brazil, Eduardo Leite, caused quite a stir when a topless photo of him went viral on social media. So it seems there are some sexy men involved in politics.
Rather worrying, it seems some people find some of the politicians closer to home to be the very definition of sexy. Currently Labour party leader Ed Miliband has gained quite a following for his apparently sexy and charming face and body. Yes, really.
He's become so popular that a Facebook group has been made for him, called "Ed Miliband is fit". At the time of writing this article, it has 412 likes. That is 412 more than I expected it to.
One of their latest posts declares (all in capital letters, but we'll spare you the strain) that "Here at Ed Mili is fit we pity late-comers who have only acknowledged the depth of Mili's raw primal charms in light of the recent debates!"
I don't know what "raw primal charms" mean to them, but they certainly aren't the words I think of when looking at him! From reading the page, I still can't figure out if it is a joke or not. I hope it is, but with the description encouraging you to "like this page to cement Ed Miliband's (entirely deserved) status as a SEX SYMBOL" I'm not so sure.
Do we need to make politics sexy?
For me, politics is a really unsexy subject. Sure, there might be the occasional hunky man or sexy woman to tempt you into learning more about a party of a point of view, but the idea of using sex appeal to get people voting just seems off.
Surely we should be voting on the things that matter, like policies and what the politicians can actually achieve?
I can't say that I find any of the politicians in the running at the moment sexy. Maybe you do. Maybe you want to join the "Ed Miliband is fit" group or start your own declaring your love of one of the other big seven.
Should we make politics sexier to gain more interest? What would you do to make people more interested in politics and the running of the country? You can let us know in the comment box below or by visiting the Escort Scotland forum.

Spring/Summer 2011 also sees the launch by Joseph Joseph of Flo™, an oil and vinegar set with – as the name suggests – adjustable flow control. Dressing food with oil and vinegar can be problematic, with their differing viscosities often leading to too much or too little of each being dispensed. The innovative design of these stylish flasks eliminates that problem, by allowing the flow of liquids to be finely adjusted whilst pouring.

End of Functional Prototype phase (requirement definition phase).
Prof. João Moura Pires is now collaborating on the project as Scientific Advisor.
Start of the SEIS – Space Environment Information System for Mission Control Purposes project.
Official kick-off of the SEIS project.
UNINOVA has been increasing its experience, with past and on-going projects at ESOC, in radiation monitoring and prediction and the usage of this information in the assessment of Solar cells degradation (details available at http://www.gtd.es/fuzzy). This, along with our combined expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, Machine learning, Fuzzy Logic and Decision Support Systems (mainly data warehousing), are behind this identified opportunity (see (Ribeiro, Pires et al. 2002) for an overview of these technologies and possible future applications).
This perception is also confirmed by the assessment of current practices performed in the feasibility studies of (see (Horne 2000) – page 33). Operators cannot reliably identify space weather as a cause of problems since they do not have enough expertise in space physics and information about the spacecraft environment.
The identified user need is to supplement the flight control team with space environmental information - past, current and forecast - already translated into spacecraft operational impact assessment and, in combination with spacecraft telemetry data, into suggested preventive or corrective operational procedure(s) (as defined in the S/C Flight Operation Plan) for implementation.
Collecting historical and real-time space weather data coming from whatever sources are deemed relevant (opportunistic usage) for a specific operations context and integrate that data with the satellite telemetry and orbit.
Transform the Space Weather raw data into information and knowledge at higher levels of abstraction.
Develop a prototype system capable of delivering a set of space weather services designed for mission control purposes directly in the control room.
The user benefits include increased awareness of space weather cause & effect relationships; vis-à-vis on-board spacecraft health status; improved productivity and safety levels of satellite operations versus space weather environmental phenomena; increased science return and extended life time.
The SEIS system will integrate data from different heterogeneous Space Weather data sources (NOAA, SOHO), Space Craft telemetry (XMM, ENVISAT, INTEGRAL), forecasting data and available Single Event Upset (SEU) databases' data (from several missions). will be loaded into a Data Warehouse, which is the key storage block of the whole system.
The Knowledge Based System engine feeds on this data (frequently refreshed) and infers possible alarms and explanations while providing nowcasting capabilities, shown on a Monitoring Tool.Besides loading Space Weather forecasts, the SEIS system also incorporates a Model Manager component capable of building prediction models based on neural networks and generating predictions.
Data mining expert, capable of building and maintaining coherent prediction models.
While some of these technologies have already proven themselves on other domains of application (such as Data Warehousing and MOLAP Analysis – business domain), the latter (ANN and KBS) represent two blocks to be prototyped under the scope of the project.

This model is a big sheetdragger, it handles a full 5'x7′ sheet without repositioning. (Yes, sheet metal is more often 4×8 or 5×10.) With support tables and repositioning, you can cut some really big stuff.
First offered around 1984 with 6M control and Spectra Physics 971 laser. Over the years they used 11M, 0M, and 0L controls. Lasers included the Spectra Physics 820, various PRCs, and probably the Fanuc lasers. I'm not sure when the 667 was last offered. I'm guessing 1993 or so.
Sorry for the delay – I'll see what I can do shortly.
I don't speak Spanish – but Google Translate gave me a clear understanding of your needs.
see my response to Lashunda's post.
Hi Jay – cool to run across someone else with 667 experience!
I'm sure you'll hear from me before long with some questions.

Glucose Utilization via Glycogen Phosphorylase Sustains Proliferation and Prevents Premature Senescence in Cancer Cells
Bensaad
Chong
Metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells provides energy and multiple intermediates critical for cell growth. Hypoxia in tumors represents a hostile environment that can encourage these transformations. We report that glycogen metabolism is upregulated in tumors in vivo and in cancer cells in vitro in response to hypoxia. In vitro, hypoxia induced an early accumulation of glycogen, followed by a gradual decline. Concordantly, glycogen synthase (GYS1) showed a rapid induction, followed by a later increase of glycogen phosphorylase (PYGL). PYGL depletion and the consequent glycogen accumulation led to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels that contributed to a p53-dependent induction of senescence and markedly impaired tumorigenesis in vivo. Metabolic analyses indicated that glycogen degradation by PYGL is important for the optimal function of the pentose phosphate pathway. Thus, glycogen metabolism is a key pathway induced by hypoxia, necessary for optimal glucose utilization, which represents a targetable mechanism of metabolic adaptation.
Carbonic Anhydrase IX Promotes Tumor Growth and Necrosis In Vivo and Inhibition Enhances Anti-VEGF Therapy
Patiar
Wigfield3
Purpose Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGFA antibody, inhibits the developing vasculature of tumours, but resistance is common. Antiangiogenic therapy induces hypoxia and we observed increased expression of hypoxia-regulated genes, including carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), in response to Bevacizumab treatment in xenografts. CAIX expression correlates with poor prognosis in most tumour types and with worse outcome in Bevacizumab-treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients, malignant astrocytoma and recurrent malignant glioma. Experimental Design We knocked-down CAIX expression by shRNA in a colon cancer (HT29) and a glioblastoma (U87) cell line which have high hypoxic-induction of CAIX, and over-expressed CAIX in HCT116 cells which has low CAIX. We investigated the effect on growth rate in 3D culture and in vivo, and examined the effect of CAIX knockdown in combination with Bevacizumab. Results CAIX expression was associated with increased growth rate in spheroids and in vivo. Surprisingly, CAIX expression was associated with increased necrosis and apoptosis in vivo and in vitro. We found that acidity inhibits CAIX activity over the pH range found in tumours (pK=6.84), and this may be the mechanism whereby excess acid self-limits the build-up of extracellular acid. Expression of another hypoxia inducible CA isoform, CAXII, was upregulated in 3D but not 2D culture in response to CAIX knockdown. CAIX knockdown enhanced the effect of Bevacizumab treatment, reducing tumour growth rate in vivo. Conclusion This work provides evidence that inhibition of the hypoxic adaptation to anti-angiogenic therapy enhances Bevacizumab treatment and highlights the value of developing small molecules or antibodies which inhibit CAIX for combination therapy.
Genomic and Expression Profiling of Human Spermatocytic Seminomas: Primary Spermatocyte as Tumorigenic Precursor and DMRT1 as Candidate Chromosome 9 Gene
Looijenga
Hersmus2,
Gillis3
Spermatocytic seminomas are solid tumors found solely in the testis of predominantly elderly individuals. We investigated these tumors using a genome-wide analysis for structural and numerical chromosomal changes through conventional karyotyping, spectral karyotyping, and array comparative genomic hybridization using a 32 K genomic tiling-path resolution BAC platform (confirmed by in situ hybridization). Our panel of five spermatocytic seminomas showed a specific pattern of chromosomal imbalances, mainly numerical in nature (range, 3-24 per tumor). Gain of chromosome 9 was the only consistent anomaly, which in one case also involved amplification of the 9p21.3-pter region. Parallel chromosome level expression profiling as well as microarray expression analyses (Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0) was also done. Unsupervised cluster analysis showed that a profile containing transcriptional data on 373 genes (difference of z3.0-fold) is suitable for distinguishing these tumors from seminomas/ dysgerminomas. The diagnostic markers SSX2-4 and POU5F1 (OCT3/OCT4), previously identified by us, were among the top discriminatory genes, thereby validating the experimental set-up. In addition, novel discriminatory markers suitable for diagnostic purposes were identified, including Deleted in Azospermia (DAZ). Although the seminomas/dysgerminomas were characterized by expression of stem cell-specific genes (e.g., POU5F1, PROM1/CD133, and ZFP42), spermatocytic seminomas expressed multiple cancer testis antigens, including TSP50 and CTCFL (BORIS), as well as genes known to be expressed specifically during prophase meiosis I (TCFL5, CLGN, and LDHc). This is consistent with different cells of origin, the primordial germ cell and primary spermatocyte, respectively. Based on the region of amplification defined on 9p and the associated expression plus confirmatory immunohistochemistry, DMRT1 (a male-specific transcriptional regulator) was identified as a likely candidate gene for involvement in the development of spermatocytic seminomas.
Specific inhibition of carbonic anhydrase IX activity enhances the in vivo therapeutic effect of tumor irradiation
Lambin
Specific inhibition of CAIX activity enhanced the effect of tumor irradiation and might, therefore, be an attractive strategy to improve overall cancer treatment.
Metabolic and hypoxic adaptation to anti‐angiogenic therapy: a target for induced essentiality
EMBO Mol Med
Anti-angiogenic therapy has increased the progression-free survival of many cancer patients but has had little effect on overall survival, even in colon cancer (average 6–8 weeks) due to resistance. The current licensed targeted therapies all inhibit VEGF signalling (Table1). Many mechanisms of resistance to anti-VEGF therapy have been identified that enable cancers to bypass the angiogenic blockade. In addition, over the last decade, there has been increasing evidence for the role that the hypoxic and metabolic responses play in tumour adaptation to anti-angiogenic therapy. The hypoxic tumour response, through the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), induces major gene expression, metabolic and phenotypic changes, including increased invasion and metastasis. Pre-clinical studies combining anti-angiogenics with inhibitors of tumour hypoxic and metabolic adaptation have shown great promise, and combination clinical trials have been instigated. Understanding individual patient response and the response timing, given the opposing effects of vascular normalisation versus reduced perfusion seen with anti-angiogenics, provides a further hurdle in the paradigm of personalised therapeutic intervention. Additional approaches for targeting the hypoxic tumour microenvironment are being investigated in pre-clinical and clinical studies that have potential for producing synthetic lethality in combination with anti-angiogenic therapy as a future therapeutic strategy.
The BET inhibitor JQ1 selectively impairs tumour response to hypoxia and downregulates CA9 and angiogenesis in triple negative breast cancer
Ledaki
Purshouse
The availability of Bromodomain and extra-terminal inhibitors (BETi) has enabled translational epigenetic studies in cancer. BET proteins regulate transcription by selectively recognizing acetylated lysine residues on chromatin. BETi compete with this process leading to both downregulation and upregulation of gene expression. Hypoxia enables progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most aggressive form of breast cancer, partly by driving metabolic adaptation, angiogenesis and metastasis through upregulation of hypoxia regulated genes (e.g. carbonic anhydrase 9 (CA9) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). Responses to hypoxia can be mediated epigenetically, thus we investigated whether BETi JQ1 could impair the TNBC response induced by hypoxia and exert anti-tumour effects. JQ1 significantly modulated 44% of hypoxia-induced genes, of which 2/3 were downregulated including CA9 and VEGF-A. JQ1 prevented HIF binding to the HRE in CA9 promoter, but did not alter HIF expression or activity, suggesting some HIF targets are BET-dependent. JQ1 reduced TNBC growth in vitro and in vivo and inhibited xenograft vascularisation. These findings identify that BETi dually targets angiogenesis and the hypoxic response, an effective combination at reducing tumour growth in preclinical studies.
Amplification and Overexpression of the KIT Gene Is Associated with Progression in the Seminoma Subtype of Testicular Germ Cell Tumors of Adolescents and Adults
Summersgill2,
Grygalewicz3
We have previously identified amplification at 4q12 in testicular germ cell tumors of adolescents and adults centered around the KIT gene encoding a tyrosine kinase transmembrane receptor. Analysis of primary testicular germ cell tumors totaling 190 cases revealed 21% of the seminoma subtype with an increased copy number of KIT whereas this change was rarely found in the nonseminomas. In most cases, gain of KIT did not include the immediately flanking noncoding DNA or the flanking genes KDR and PDGFRA. Increased copy number of KIT was not found in the putative precursor lesion, carcinoma in situ (CIS), adjacent to tumor with this change. KIT overexpression was found independent of gain and KIT immunostaining was stronger in selected cases with gain of KIT compared to those without. Taken together with activating mutations of KIT in exon 17 identified in 13% of seminomas, this suggests that the KIT gene product plays a role in the progression of CIS towards seminoma, the further understanding of which may lead to novel less toxic therapeutic approaches.

Stem cell factor as a novel diagnostic marker for early malignant germ cells
Stoop
Honecker
Geijn
J. Pathol.
Carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the testis is the pre-invasive stage of type II testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) of adolescents and adults. These tumours are the most frequently diagnosed cancer in Caucasian adolescents and young adults. In dysgenetic gonads, the precursor of type II GCTs can be either CIS or a lesion known as gonadoblastoma (GB). CIS/GB originates from a primordial germ cell (PGC)/gonocyte, ie an embryonic cell. CIS can be cured by local low-dose irradiation, with limited side effects on hormonal function. Therefore, strategies for early diagnosis of CIS are essential. Various markers are informative to diagnose CIS in adult testis by immunohistochemistry, including c-KIT, PLAP, AP-2gamma, NANOG, and POU5F1 (OCT3/4). OCT3/4 is the most informative and consistent in presence and expression level, resulting in intense nuclear staining. In the case of maturational delay of germ cells, frequently present in gonads of individuals at risk for type II (T)GCTs, use of these markers can result in overdiagnosis of malignant germ cells. This demonstrates the need for a more specific diagnostic marker to distinguish malignant germ cells from germ cells showing maturation delay. Here we report the novel finding that immunohistochemical detection of stem cell factor (SCF), the c-KIT ligand, is informative in this context. This was demonstrated in over 400 cases of normal (fetal, neonatal, infantile, and adult) and pathological gonads, as well as TGCT-derived cell lines, specifically in cases of CIS and GB. Both membrane-bound and soluble SCF were expressed, suggestive of an autocrine loop. SCF immunohistochemistry can be a valuable diagnostic tool, in addition to OCT3/4, to screen for precursor lesions of TGCTs, especially in patients with germ cell maturation delay.

Q: Why am I getting memory errors with valgrind? (C++, abstract syntax tree evaluation) I am currently doing an assignment for a course I'm doing. I have what seems to be a fully working program (I get the right output for all my test data), however when I run with valgrind it says that I have memory errors. Here is the minimal code to reproduce the error (which is still quite a bit sorry):
note: this assignment is about evaluating abstract syntax trees (not parsing, just evaluating)
header file: (provided by my tutor - I can't change this)
struct env {
  //will be used to store the values of variables in a stack. This is one 'node' of the stack
  string var;
  int value;
  env *next;
};

class Exp {
  //general expression - eval will be overridden.
 public:
  virtual int eval(env*) = 0;
};

class Constant : public Exp {
  int n;
 public:
  Constant(int n) {this->n = n; }
  int eval(env*);
};

class Var : public Exp {
  string name;
 public:
  Var(string s) { this->name = s; }
  int eval(env*);
};

class Let : public Exp {
  //let binding. (let bvar = bexp in body)
  //used to assign a value to variables
  string bvar;
  Exp *bexp;
  Exp *body;
 public:
  Let(string v, Exp *e, Exp *b)
    {
      bvar = v; bexp = e; body = b;
    }
  int eval(env*);
};

This is the code that I have written to evaluate this subset of the syntax:
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#include "evalobj2.h"

int Constant::eval(env *env) {
  return this->n;
}

int Var::eval(env *env) {
  while(env) {
    if ((env->var).compare(this->name) == 0) return env->value;
    env = env->next;
  }
  //give up - variable not found in env
  throw 1;
}

int Let::eval(env *env) {
  //make a new struct env to be pushed to the environment stack
  struct env* newEnv = (struct env*)malloc(sizeof(struct env));

  //copy data into new env struct
  newEnv->var = this->bvar;
  newEnv->value = this->bexp->eval(env);

  //make it the head of the "environment" so that it is seen first when looking up a value
  newEnv->next = env;

  //evaluate
  int valToReturn = this->body->eval(newEnv);
  free(newEnv);

  return valToReturn;
}

When I run the following from a main method I get "6 errors from 6 contexts" from valgrind:
Exp *e = new Let("x",new Constant(1),new Var("x"));
cout << e2->eval(nullptr) << endl;

Even though I get the right result. I have tested on bigger data structures with the rest of the syntax that I have to evaluate, all of which give correct results.
I don't understand what Valgrind is complaining about! It says "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised values" at "operator delete(void*)" .... by some other stuff that isn't mine... by Let::eval(env*) ... which is mine.
I will get 0 marks for a program with memory errors.

A: struct env {
  //will be used to store the values of variables in a stack. This is one 'node' of the stack
  string var;
  int value;
  env *next;
};

// ...

struct env* newEnv = (struct env*)malloc(sizeof(struct env));

You are allocating env, a structure with C++ classes, namely a std::string, using the C library's malloc(), which knows absolutely nothing about C++ classes.
This is undefined behavior. C++ classes must be allocated and destroyed with new and delete. It's surprising that your code survives long enough to produce any results, instead of crashing and burning, right from the get-go.

A: you should use C++ memory allocation: for instance
int Let::eval(env *env) {
  //make a new struct env to be pushed to the environment stack
  env* newEnv = new env();

  //copy data into new env struct
  newEnv->var = this->bvar;

  ...

  int valToReturn = this->body->eval(newEnv);
  delete newEnv;

  return valToReturn;
}

Also, it's good practice to initialize data in constructors. At least:
struct env {
  env() : next(0) {}

  //will be used to store the values of variables in a stack. This is one 'node' of the stack
  string var;
  int value;
  env *next;
};

Thank you Mr Maupin for keeping our friend Michael Tolliver safe during the 17 year hiatus, and for delivering him back to us in this book.
DASTardlyGal Jun 07, 2012
If one can get past the fact that Michael Tolliver has grown from a lovable character into a wanker, its an okay story. I don't like that it is written in the first person narrative, first of all. After been used to Armistead Maupin using 3rd person narrative, this sort of didn't do it for me. Another fact that drove me crazy is Armistead Maupin's complete hate for anything right wing is very distracting and detracts from the story itself. It seems Michael can't stand anyone who is a Christian, who doesn't like to use cuss words in their vernacular, who is friends with Govenor Schwarzneggar, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, etc. When are left wing authors going to realize that people of all political persuasions read their books and it can upset some with the hate they spew. I don't have anything against gay people, but apparently in Mr. Maupin's rather small, shallow, and hateful point of view, anyone who isn't a liberal hates gays or are living in Dark Ages. It seems Michael, who told his brother at one point in the book that people are supposed to be kind to people, Mr. Maupin, isn't. Typical of a liberal point of view. I was going to buy Mr. Maupin's books for my Kindle, but I guess I won't, or perhaps I won't waste my money on this particular book, I just need to think about it. I'm not writing this to start a battle between political parties, I'm just disappointed in him using his hate as a soapbox in his otherwise fun and entertaining series of books. I love Tales, Further and More Tales of the City, Babycakes, Significant Others, and one in the last set of that series that I can't remember. This book is disappointing in that Michael has turned into an intolerant wanker, thanks to Mr. Maupin's soapbox. I can live with a few stupid remarks about the right wing, because that's to be expected, but not when the whole book is just so slanted and biased. Authors need to leave the politics out of their books.

Celebrity hair stylist, Peter Butler, created the modern look of Amber Heard for the Toronto premiere of Danish Girl using Leonor Greyl.
"The Toronto premiere of The "Danish Girl" was a huge success last night! Amber Heard lit up the red carpet in her Ellie Saab dress and her cascading "Flat Waved" Hair! I blew out Ambers hair as a rough dry (No Brush, Only my hands) using Leonor Greyl Mousse Au Lotus Volumatrice and adding some Serum de Soi Sublimateur on her damp ends. The serum helps to nourish dry ends and keep hair looking well-conditioned.
I used the Leonor Greyl Voluforme in her roots and as a prep to each section before I went over it with a flat iron to create my Flat Waves. It was a Voluminous and Modern take on a classic Hollywood Glamour Look for the red carpet! Amber Looked Flawless!" Behind the success of the LEONOR GREYL brand, there are all the ingredients of success: the expertise of more than 40 years in hair care treatment using only natural products, the passion of healthy and glamorous hair and the most important: the love of her profession.
LEONOR GREYL is a brand, a range of hair care products, an Institute, a family business, where everyone is passionate about hair beauty. In 1968, after meeting her future husband Jean-Marie Greyl who has an extraordinary knowledge of botanicals, the pair created the LEONOR GREYL brand. In 1968, 'natural' was not yet the fashion but these natural products were a hit and continue to have success today. Some of original products are still some of the most popular and sought after treatments by prestigious hairdressers in Paris and worldwide: PALM OIL, WHEAT GERM OIL, MAGNOLIA, HONEY SHAMPOO, CREAM OF FLOWERS. LEONOR GREYL produces environmentally friendly products.
LEONOR GREYL was the first to incorporate vitamins in her shampoos. Her signature Wheat Germ Oil was the first oil developed that washes and purifies scalp deficiencies while foaming with water contact. Leonor Greyl was also the first to formulate a gentle everyday use coal tar-free dandruff shampoo.
