* Reading 'Slaughterhouse-Five' in Baghdad: What Vonnegut taught me about what comes after war.
One of his legacies is a famous passage in "Slaughterhouse-Five." It's about planes flying in reverse, where shrapnel flies out of people, back into the bombs and the planes take off backward from their runways, and so on, until everyone is just a baby again.
Vonnegut is saying it would be nice if the wisdom learned from a war could be used to reverse engineer the entire thing and keep it from happening at all. That is a nice thought.
* The bargaining phase of climate crisis: why don't you just move to Duluth?
* This Is How Human Extinction Could Play Out.
* Matthew Dean Hindman is reporting from the neoliberal gutting of the University of Tulsa.
We hear about liberal students & faculty. But oversight boards (trustees, regents) tend to be far more conservative & more inclined to treat the university as a business.

* A new study confirms that fraternity men and athletes are committing more sexual assaults than are those in the general student population — and that repeat offenders are a major problem.
* I have a hunch, which is that professors are considerably less good at teaching than they think they are. And the hunch is based on the fact that we don't train teaching assistants to teach, that we select and hire professors without any regard to their ability or potential as teachers, and that we don't then give them further training or professional development. A hunch you say.
* Georgetown Students Agree to Create Reparations Fund.
* Faced with an unprecedented moral emergency in the Trump presidency, the Democrats have wisely decided to… play chicken with their base.
It is truly amazing that we are only able to discuss how the country wound up run by a sunsetting racist authoritarian as long as there's never any indication that a Democrat ever made a single mistake

In the last 24 hours we've seen a distinction emerge between candidates who believe their path to the presidency lies in accommodation to GOP rhetoric and those whose strategy is to run straight at the beast swinging a sword.

(2) But the reintroduction of Palpatine and claim that it was always the plan to bring him back for IX makes me think there's a decent chance they are going to throw a curveball and have Kylo *always* have been good after all, acting dark to get close enough to Palps to kill him.
(2 cont) This has been speculated since TFA came out and there's def stuff in the films that can support it ("I will finish what you started," the Han death scene, but also the Rashomon stuff around the destruction of Luke's academy in TLJ). The best chance left for a true twist.
(and so on)
Of course the other problem is that episode nine has to be the end of something literally no person on the planet believes will ever be allowed to end.
Disney will accomplish what George Lucas himself attempted but could not achieve: running STAR WARS into the ground and forcing fans to give up on it

So Here's Everything You Missed While You Were Paying Attention to the Election Links
* It was an absolutely crazy month trying to get the final proofs locked down, but The Cambridge History of Science Fiction has an Amazon page and a publication date: November 30, 2018. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this massive undertaking! Obviously $175 is a hefty price tag, so talk to your public and university library about science fiction today…
* SFRA Review #326 is up with my last vice president's note (sniff).
* I think I forgot to hype my review essay in the latest Science Fiction Film and Television on Arrival and parenting. Consider it hyped!
* I was also lucky enough to participate in the symposium for the new issue of Science Fiction Studies on climate crisis. (The end of my contribution for those who can't get past the preview.)

* J.R.R. Tolkien's Final Posthumous Book Is Published.
* It's been too long since I last posted and this CFP is out of date now, but it looks like a great event at Madison next year: CFP: Childhoods of Color.
* At least the Post45 CFP is still active! And this one! Transgressions: McGill University's 25th Annual English Graduate Conference.
* CFP: The Sanzed Empire on Fire: A Panel on N.K. Jemisin's The Broken Earth Trilogy.
* Call for Papers: Insecurity Conference (Spring 2019). At UWM's Center for 21st Century Studies.

* Architectural history in an era of capitalist ruin.
What if I told you one of the largest ever undertakings in American historic preservation was happening not through the graces of any large institution, but through the autonomous participation of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of individuals across the country, who are collectively stitching together their own narrative of architectural history?
The "Kmart" group on the photo-sharing website Flickr has amassed a staggering twenty-five thousand photos of its subject, a struggling American discount store. It hardly matters that, against the grain of the high-architectural image factory, many of these photos could not be called artistic—a number of them appear to have been taken with shaky cell phones, or from the wrong side of a speeding car. The production of high-gloss photography is not the purpose of this group. It's purpose is to document a slow extinction.

* A new documentary will explore the life and legacy of Ursula K. Le Guin.
* Janelle Monáe on Octavia Butler and Afrofuturism at Spotify.
* How copyright law hides work like Zora Neale Hurston's new book from the public.
* But now, a humanities education—designed to inculcate intellectual curiosity and humanistic empathy—serves no purpose, especially beside such plainly better-compensated and culturally respectable real-world pursuits as vocational and managerial training. In other words today's neoliberal order is fine with revised canons, and with more inclusive, multicultural understandings of the world—but not with public money supporting something so seemingly useless as the humanities. In the age of neoliberalism, conservatives have briskly abandoned their traditionalist defense of the Western canon in favor of no canon at all. Culture warriors on both sides have been overtaken by events. A bipartisan neoliberal consensus that emphasizes job training as education's sine qua non now dominates the landscape. The Culture Wars Are Dead! Long Live the Culture Wars.
* Among the Hottest Job Markets on Campus: Police Officer.
* Call for papers: Call for Papers: Capitalism, Social Science and the Platform University.

To be a member in good standing of the establishment, in either party, for any length of time, requires you to utterly sell your soul. It's forbidden to even accurately describe the violence America and its allies perpetuate on the world stage, much less oppose it. https://t.co/u9cUhV3fAc

poo-tee-weet
Everything about most Dems' and MSM's response to Gaza yesterday suggests that if Trump wants to start WWIII over Iran, no one is prepared to stop him, and no one has the moral credibility to rally the public against him. Nothing about the world in 2018 feels any safer than 1914.

The future is resource wars and climate refugees; it will only get worse, and it's already so bad. Our current course points somewhere very frightening. Our leaders are morons and sociopaths who cannot be reasoned with, almost without exception.

* Black Panther and the Black Panthers, at NYRoB.
* Sweet Briar Milkshake Ducked awfully fast.
* Social media has come under increasing scrutiny for reinforcing people's pre-existing viewpoints which, it is argued, can create information "echo chambers." We investigate whether social media motivates real-life action, with a focus on hate crimes in the United States. We show that the rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes since Donald Trump's presidential campaign has been concentrated in counties with high Twitter usage. Consistent with a role for social media, Trump's Tweets on Islam-related topics are highly correlated with anti-Muslim hate crime after, but not before the start of his presidential campaign, and are uncorrelated with other types of hate crimes. These patterns stand out in historical comparison: counties with many Twitter users today did not consistently experience more anti-Muslim hate crimes during previous presidencies.

Certain culture is good for the brain and certain culture is bad, making you antisocial and destructive. Peterson loves both Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, stories in which men save sleeping women with a kiss, and hates Frozen, a film in which Prince Hans turns out to be the bad guy. Frozen has "no understanding whatsoever of the underlying archetypal dynamics," he explained in Time this year. We must tell the same ancient story over and over, Peterson says, or we will all go insane.
* Literally no one could have predicted: Arrested Development's Season 4 "Remix" Is an Experiment Gone Horribly Wrong.
* There's nothing the human race can't achieve.

What I'm basically saying is that most "retirement experts" have data that is derived from, at most, one full generation, tops, from a unique moment in US economic history, whose economic climate has changed dramatically in the last fifty years.

La Feria Celebrations in Málaga – 2018
Published on August 9, 2018 by Kay Farrell
Home / Blog / Holiday / La Feria Celebrations in Málaga – 2018
La Feria in Málaga
What is the reason for la Feria?
Five hundred and thirty-one years ago, on August 19th , the Catholic Monarchs King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel conquered the city of Malaga ending eight centuries of Moorish rule.
And we are still celebrating the Christian conquest of the city over 500 years later with the biggest street party in southern Europe- the Feria of Málaga! By taking a simple Malaga walking tour you could live the only remnant of any religious commemoration during the fair, a colourful pilgrimage of horses and carriages on the first day of the fair which start at the City Hall and makes it way to the Iglesia de la Victoria where a mass is celebrated in honour of la Virgen de la Victoria- whose statue was presented to the city by the Catholic Monarchs in 1487.
When is the fair of Malaga?
This year's fair will take place from Saturday 11th August to Sunday 19th- 9 days of partying and dancing in the streets of Malaga.
A massive beach party kicks off the feria on Friday evening (August 10th) for the official opening (the pregón) of the fair, with a concert on the Malagueta Beach close to the city and an amazing fireworks display at midnight. This year the fair will be one day longer than the last few years- a sure sign that the local government thinks that we have recovered from the recent economic crisis which reduced the feria from 10 days to one week.
Where is the fair of Malaga held?
The feria of Malaga is unique in the fact that it takes place in two distinct areas of the city.
La Feria del Día (the day fair) takes place in the narrow streets and beautiful squares of the historical centre while La Feria de la Noche (the night fair) happens just outside the city centre in El Real Cortijo de Torres next to the Palacio de Congresos (Congress Centre). Despite its name, the night feria is open during the day as well as at night.
The Day Feria in general has a more traditional feel with the streets full of locals dancing to traditional music like Sevillanas and Verdiales as well as groups of young musicians walking around the streets with their bands playing popular songs and 'paso dobles' – inciting onlookers to break out into dance.
In the main plazas of the city centre (Constitución, Mitjana, Flores, Merced), there will be over 20 live concerts during the week. A must-see favourite of the feria is the FREE SOUL BAND- a great cover band that plays every afternoon in the Plaza de los Flores.
How can I get to the Night Feria?
You can go for a charming night Malaga walking tour, but there are also extra buses scheduled that leave regularly from the Alameda Principal in the city centre and go directly to the fair grounds. Or you can take the Cercanias train from the Malaga Centro Alameda station next to the dry river. Get off just two stops later at the Victoria Kent station which is just across the street from the fair grounds.

For bus info, click here: http://feria.malaga.eu/es/Movilidad/#.W1r7uNIzbIU
You can also rent a bike at our shop and cycle to the grounds in under 15 minutes.
La Feria de la Noche/ The Night Feria: the fair grounds are converted into a temporary town of streets filled with "casetas"- individual bars and restaurants selling typical food and drinks and many have live music and concerts. There is also a fun fair with all kinds of rides that goes well into the night. During the day, the streets of the feria are filled with horses and carriages parading up and down, with the señoritas dressed in the typical trajes de flamenco and the señores in their trajes de corto.
What else is there to do in Malaga during the feria?
If you need a break from the festivities, why not rent a bike from us and take a relaxing ride along the coast? We will give you lots of routes, tips and maps on where to go, the best beach bars and sights to visit near Málaga.
As well, all the museums are open during the feria, many of which can be easily reached by bike.
Have a great feria everyone!

Rudolf Ludwig Mössbauer (Duits: Rudolf Ludwig Mößbauer) (München, 31 januari 1929 – München-Grünwald, 14 september 2011) was een Duits natuurkundige die in 1961 de Nobelprijs voor de Natuurkunde ontving voor zijn ontdekking in 1957 van het naar hem vernoemde mössbauereffect. Hij deelde de prijs met Robert Hofstadter die de Nobelprijs kreeg voor ander werk.

Biografie
Mössbauer was de zoon van Ludwig Mössbauer en Erna Ernst. Hij groeide op in de jaren van Hitlers nationaalsocialisme en de aanloop naar de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Desondanks de oorlog verkreeg hij zijn opleiding aan de middelbare school in München-Pasing, waar hij in 1948 slaagde voor zijn eindexamen.

Nadat zijn interesse voor de natuurkunde door het Deutsches Museum was gewekt begon hij aan de Technische Universiteit München (TUM) aan studie natuurkunde, die hij in 1955 afrondde met een bul. Vanwege de beschikbare faciliteiten werkte hij van 1955 tot 1957 bij het Max Planck Instituut voor medisch onderzoek in Heidelberg aan zijn proefschrift. In januari 1958 mocht hij na een mondeling examen bij professor Heinz Maier-Leibnitz van de TUM zijn doctoraat in ontvangst nemen.

In 1960 accepteerde hij een uitnodiging van het California Institute of Technology (Caltech) waar hij zijn onderzoek naar gamma-absorptie voortzette. In 1961 – kort na de bekendmaking van de Nobelprijs – werd hij door Caltech benoemd tot hoogleraar natuurkunde. Drie jaar later haalde de faculteit natuurkunde van de TUM hem over terug te keren naar zijn vaderland. Uitgezonderd een onderbreking van vijf jaar was hij van 1964 tot aan pensionering in 1997 er hoogleraar experimentele natuurkunde. Van 1972 tot 1977 was hij directeur van het Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) te Grenoble.

Werk
Zijn promotieonderzoek naar de resonantie-absorptie van gammastraling in het iridiumisotoop 191Ir leidde uiteindelijk tot het experimenteel bewijzen van Recoilless Nuclear Resonance Absorption. Dit bewijs vormde de cruciale basis voor de ontdekking van nucleair resonantie fluorescentie, bekend als het mössbauereffect.

Met behulp van het mössbauereffect werd rond 1960 door Robert Pound en Glen Rebka voor het eerst experimenteel het bewijs geleverd van de gravitationele roodverschuiving – tijddilatatie binnen een gravitationeel gat – in het zwaartekrachtsveld van de aarde. Met dit Pound-Rebka-experiment werd de juistheid aangetoond van Einsteins algemene relativiteitstheorie.

Erkenning
Mössbauer was onder andere lid van de Pauselijke Academie voor de Wetenschappen (Rome) en van de Beierse Academie van Wetenschappen. Voor zijn werk op het gebied van resonantie-absorptie van gammastraling verkreeg hij diverse onderscheidingen, waaronder de Prize of the Research Corporation of New York (1960), Röngtenprijs van de universiteit van Giessen (1961), de Elliot Cresson Medal van het Franklin Instituut (1961), de Maximiliaansorde voor Wetenschap en Kunst (1984), de Gouden Lomonosov-medaille van de toenmalige Academie van Wetenschappen van de USSR (1984) en de Albert Einsteinmedaille (1986).

Kiraly Saves The Lions
Posted in Bundesliga / Football
Bundesliga Second Division Match Day 1
Official Bundesliga League Table
Allianz Arena, Munich, August 4 – All teams expect the new season to be better than the last. The pressure is even more so for TSV 1860 München who come into 2012-13 with an edge of desperation attached to those expectations. And their shortcomings are magnified since they share the same city as one of the world's most successful clubs.
The Lions began their new season of hope against recently promoted side SSV Jahn Regensburg to being a new chapter of the Bavarian Derby, and it was an exciting, if not shaky debut for both clubs. Grzegorz Wojtkowiak scored in the 8th minute and goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly was huge in the most critical moments as Sechzig defeat Regensburg 1-0.

"We won today and that was important for us to get the three points," said Kiraly. "We had new players on our team, we need to practice and that will take time. We played well, with some mistakes. We have to think positive, reduce our mistakes and move forward."
Kiraly's coach did not mirror the enthusiasm. "Of course I cannot be satisfied with the performance," admitted head coach Rainer Maurer. "But yesterday, you could see how difficult it was for the other teams. We have a long way to go get up to a higher level."
Overall the match may not have met his expectation, but the start was splendid. It didn't take long for the Lions to take control. Lauth was playing on the right wing, trying to feed the ball into aforementioned new players, Marin Tomasov and Ismael Blanco in the middle. In the 7th minute, Lauth's pass in found an open Blanco, he completely whiffed on this attempt. But SSV could not clear it, instead hitting it out for a corner.
On the ensuing kick by Tomasov, Wojtkowiak hit it, the ball took a deflection by Michael Hofmann, sending the 1860 fans who showed up on a this glorious summer afternoon into a frenzy.
Munich continued the pressure on Regensburg, who were unable to create anything on their end. If there was a chance, it was from afar or too easy for Kiraly.

At halftime, the stats were even, 1860 holding possession 54-46% but outshot by the visitors 5-2.
SSV regrouped in the locker room and came out right after the second half whistle. Mario Weidlich was the focal point. In the opening minute, he worked his way to the corner, fed it to Abdenour Amachaibou for a one-two and then looked for Francky Sembolo who couldn't get set properly. The Sechzig defense could not clear it, allowing Weidlich a shot and Kiraly saved the first biggest threat.
In the second half, Kiraly was forced to make some tough saves. Photo: Sport Eagle/Sperduto
Weidlich continued to create chances, but once again, they reverted to harmless chances.
In the meantime, Munich realized if they allowed Regensburg all the chances, they may fall into a trap. And from there, the teams went back and forth midway in the second half.
Maurer substituted in Daniel Halfar for Blanco and he immediately gave fresh legs to the Lions' attack. His attempts did not net any goals, one free kick did hit the cross bar, but it matched the intensity from their visitors.
In the final stages of the match, the intensity picked up, but first, physically. Sembolo fouled Necat Aygün who took exception and ran after the Congolese striker. Aygün was held back by his teammates and after the sides cooled down for the moment, Sembolo was booked in the 76th minute.
Necat Aygün had to be controlled, trying to make his point to Francky Sembolo. Photo: Sport Eagle/Sperduto
And then came the key point in the match. This time it was Sembolo who was the victim of a hard foul, from Grigoris Makos in the area. Referee Bastian Dankert cooly pointed to the spot – penalty awarded to Regensburg! Amachaibou set up to take it.

"Before the match, we watched some videos and some situations, and we knew who would shoot and which way," explained Kiraly. "In the end it was up to me to make the final decision."
And he chose correctly. Kiraly stopped it but left the ball free in front. Amachaibou pounced on it for the rebound chance, but Kiraly was once again there to stop it. Two shots saved, match saved. The 45,300 in attendance roared.
Kiraly was spot on, stopping the penalty shot and the win for the Lions. Photo: Sport Eagle/Sperduto
"I was sure that I would make it and I hit it solid," said a somber Amachaibou. "On the rebound he was lucky. It's bitter, I feel for the fans who came all the way out here. We fought, played with passion, and it hurts that we could have earned a point, and then we don't."
Substitute Ramon De Macedo had one more chance before stoppage time but that was it. A clean sheet for Kiraly, three points for the Lions.
"We allowed a few scoring chances, unfortunately, could not exploit our opportunities," said SSV head coach Oskar Corrochano. "The fact is that we leave with empty hands. We can win with our passion and organization. Mix in a little luck, and then we can earn some points.
With the recent promotions of FC Augsburg and SpVgg Greuther Fürth, Regensburg and Sechzig can begin a new Bavarian rivalry. If it were up to Munich, it would last at least for this season.
Munich are on the road for the next three matches, August 13th in Dresden and August 26th in Kaiserslautern in the Bundesliga. In between, they will play at FC Hennef 05 in the DFB Pokal on August 19th.
SSV Jahn Regensburg have a glamour matchup on August 20th at home against the German record champions FC Bayern Munich in the German Cup. Before that, they host MSV Duisburg on August 12th.

Government announces £20 million fund for new railway stations
Rail passengers across England and Wales are set for better journeys thanks to a £20 million pot to fund new stations, announced on 26 August 2016 by the Department for Transport.
Photo by Matt Buck.
The next round of the new stations fund will provide up to 75% of the cost for construction of new stations or to reopen previously closed stations. The funding will improve access to the rail network and create new travel, employment and housing opportunities.
It follows on from an initial round of funding, which has already made a major difference to passengers' journeys, with new stations at Newcourt in Devon, Pye Corner in Wales and Lea Bridge in London, and stations at Ilkeston near Derby and Kenilworth near Coventry in the process of being delivered.
Organisations such as local authorities, and train operating companies keen to boost local growth are all being encouraged to submit bids.
The deadline for bidders for the second round of funding is 18 November 2016 with an announcement of successful projects expected to be made early next year.

Brilliant signage for Bell Lightbox, home of the Toronto International Film Festival.
Driving down King Street West in the theatre district, you can't help but notice Sunset Neon's full-colour, 70-foot long "ticker tape" message centre promoting the latest films to hit the big screen.
The giant halo-lit channel letters that Sunset Neon installed above the entrance are free-standing, halo-lit, front-lit, and also visible from the restaurant behind the sign, for brilliance from every angle. The design was a challenge for Sunset Neon, and the result turned out to be extremely effective.
As well as the main channel-letter sign, the location has a large-format, changeable banner, a pierced, infilled, LED-illuminated fascia light box, and custom-fabricated column-mounted poster boxes at the entrance.
With a tight delivery schedule, the signs were all fabricated and installed in time for the unveiling at the grand opening of the new permanent home of the TIFF.
See the TIFF magazine article from Sign Media magazine describing the critial need for wlcoming wayfinding signs and electronic message centres.
Sunset Neon pulled out all the stops for the new-build Dairy Queen Grill & Chill location in Orangeville, Ontario, part of DQ's expansion and modernization program.


You've got your skin care routine on lockdown, tried and tested many different beauty products, but somehow, your skin just won't cooperate. Maybe it's time to look beyond the products you've been slathering on your face and consider your lifestyle. Have you been eating too much unhealthy processed food? When was the last time you've exercised? Your skin problems might just be beyond the expensive products you use.
Sometimes, when we're too busy throughout the day, we forget to drink water. Making sure you drink water throughout the day is a good habit to practice as water replenishes your skin moisture levels to maintain elasticity and prevent wrinkles from forming. If you're notoriously forgetful or get too engrossed in your work, set reminders to remind yourself or download an app that does all that for you!
I know what you're thinking, how is changing your diet an easy lifestyle change? You don't have to go on a full-blown diet, just swap out unhealthy food for healthier options. For example, opt for low-fat or soy milk the next time you order that frappuccino from Starbucks. Instead of buying fruit juice with added sugar and sweeteners, why not just eat the fruit? Choose balsamic and olive oil dressing instead of processed salad dressing. There are so many simple food swaps you can make, so no more excuses!
Sun damage from UV rays is one of the main causes of skin ageing, as well as the leading cause of skin cancer. Prolonged exposure to the sun results in discolouration, dry skin, sunspots, and wrinkles. This sun exposure builds up over time, it may not be apparent now, but the effects will appear as you age. That's why it's important to invest in a good sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays for complete protection from the harmful sun rays.
When you're stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol which can lead to those dreaded skin breakouts, high levels of inflammation, and premature ageing. If you're experiencing high levels of stress, take a step back and breathe. Try to incorporate some stress-relieving activities such as yoga, meditation, and exercise. If these activities don't work for you, it's okay! Find out what reduces your stress levels and do that instead. Including some me-time in your daily routine is also essential for your peace of mind.
How many times have you said "just one more episode", only to stay up the whole night? If you've been neglecting your sleep, it's time to change that. Lack of sleep affects your appearance, causing dark circles and undereye bags. Sleep helps to rejuvenate the skin and balance hydration levels, on top of repairing damaged cells. Get a good night's sleep by staying away from screens an hour before bedtime and avoiding caffeine in the evening.

Fiona Jackson appears in R v Gurpreet Singh Padda
December 12, 2013 Faisal Osman
The Court of Appeal this morning handed down judgment in R v Gurpreet Singh Padda [2013] EWCA Crim 2330, where the Court had been asked to consider an appeal against a revised confiscation order made against the Appellant under s.22 of POCA 2002. Fiona Jackson appeared for the Respondent, the Crown Prosecution Service.
The decision serves as a reminder to defendants upon whom a confiscation order has been imposed and the available amount found to be less than their benefit from their criminal offending, that the Court may revisit that confiscation order and increase it at any stage even to remove from them assets acquired legitimately after their criminal offending.
Section 22 permits the Crown Court to consider an application from the prosecution where a confiscation order has been made and the Court originally found that the available amount was less than the recoverable amount. In the Appellant's case, his original benefit from his drug trafficking was found to be £156,226.74 with the available amount found to be £9,520; he served his prison sentence and satisfied that confiscation order in time. In the s.22 application some 6½ years later, the Court acceded to the prosecution's application to vary and increase the confiscation order to include legitimately after-acquired assets.
The CA considered the implications of s.22 post-Waya and whether such an application would be disproportionate so as to infringe a defendant's A1P1 rights under the ECHR. Dismissing the appeal, the Court found that s.22(4)(a) of POCA 2002 preserves an obligation on a court and a discretion to make an order which is just, taking into account all relevant circumstances which may include the amount outstanding, the additional amount which might now be available, the length of time since the original confiscation order and the impact on a defendant of any further payment but also taking into account the legislative policy in favour of maximising the recovery of the proceeds of crime, even from legitimately acquired assets.
The Court held that:
"That discretion must of course be exercised in a way intended to "give effect to Parliament's intention as expressed in the language of the statute. The statutory language must be given a fair and purposive construction in order to give effect to its legislative policy": see Waya paragraph 8. It is perfectly clear that the policy underlying POCA and its predecessors places a high priority on the recovery of the proceeds of crime. It is central to the scheme of the legislation that, at the time when a principal confiscation order is made:
"Even if the proceeds have been spent, a confiscation order up to the value of the proceeds will follow against legitimately acquired assets to the extent that they are available for realisation."
See Waya paragraph 27.
In our view, the matter is clearly stated, albeit in relation to the 1994 Act in paragraph 29 of Peacock:
"As for the main argument, based on fairness and rehabilitation, naturally I recognise that Parliament could have chosen a different policy with regard to after-acquired assets. But it seems to me perfectly understandable that in fact Parliament decided (as indisputably it did when later enacting POCA) to leave it open to the courts as a matter of discretion [emphasis added] to mulct a defendant of his criminal gains on an ongoing basis irrespective of precisely how and when he came by any increased wealth."
In our judgment, the obligation of a court under section 22(4)(a), bearing well in mind the policy underlining POCA, is in the exercise of its discretion to make a "just" order. It is in the very highest degree unlikely that any order which is "just" will be found to be disproportionate, so as to infringe A1 P1 of the European Convention of Human Rights."
The judgment can be found here.

Christopher Jackson performed the In Memoriam at this year's Emmys. Jackson sung Stevie Wonder's "As". Jackson started with the Maya Angelou poem Touched By An Angel before diving into Stevie Wonder's "As." Of course, it is always tough to lose people in the industry but the award In Memoriam provides touching tributes to those who have passed. It is a way to keep their memory alive and honor them all at once. Jackson did a great job in the role, which is a tough one to tackle.
Jackson is known for starring alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda in the original productions of In The Heights in 2008 and Hamilton in 2015, as well as a singing role in Disney's Moana in 2016. Jackson received a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical nomination for his role as George Washington in Hamilton.
The special "In Memoriam" segment on the 2017 Emmy Awards ceremony will be especially tearful this year. Beloved television legends Mary Tyler Moore, Carrie Fisher, Florence Henderson, Martin Landau, Jerry Lewis, Agnes Nixon, Bill Paxton, Debbie Reynolds, Don Rickles, Grant Tinker, and Adam West were just a few people honored following their unfortunate deaths this year.
What did you think of Jackson's performance at the Emmys? Did you see anyone missing from this year's In Memoriam? Let us know in the comments section.
That In Memoriam was rough. I'm glad for Chris's voice to pull me through it. Because there are a lot of beloved people on that list.
I'm glad is providing the music, cause I broke out the Kleenex at Carrie Fisher.
I'll be loving Christopher Jackson forever.
's performance has me in tears.
The 69th annual Emmy Awards are finally here. Set to air on CBS starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, the 2017 Emmys will find the biggest shows on television — including HBO's Westworld and NBC's Saturday Night Live, both of which paced the Primetime Emmy Awards nominations with 22 nods each — competing for top honors in drama, comedy, limited series, and variety categories.

Q: Why am I getting a LazySeq casting error? I've written the following function
(defn insert-block
  "Given a block, coordinate and playfield, returns the altered playfield.
   Does not check for collisions."
  [[x y] block playfield]
  (let [blocksize (count block)
    insertion (fn [a b] (vector (block a) (playfield b)))
    block-indicies (range 0 blocksize)
    field-indicies (range y (+ y blocksize))]
    (map insertion block-indicies field-indicies)))

Block and playfield are both vectors of vectors. For some reason, every time I call this function, I get the following error:
#<ClassCastException java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.LazySeq cannot be cast to clojure.lang.IFn>

The function has been simplified a bit from what's in my code - 'insertion' is more complex in the original, but I get the same error regardless. This is driving me nuts - Does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I've been testing it with [2 3] for [x y] and [[0 0 0] [0 1 0] [1 1 1]] for block. Playfield is too large to paste here, but it's a vector of 26 vectors containing integers, of length 14.
EDIT2: Here's the playfield vector.
[[1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]
[1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1]
[1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]
[1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1]]

EDIT3: I've narrowed it down further - the following code works. It seems that accessing elements in the block and playfield vectors is what's causing the problem, but I still don't know why.
(defn insert-block
"Given a block, coordinate and playfield, returns the altered playfield.
 Does not check for collisions."
[[x y] block playfield]
(let [blocksize (count block)
  insertion (fn [a b] (vector a b))
  block-indicies (range 0 blocksize)
  field-indicies (range y (+ y blocksize))]
  (map insertion block-indicies field-indicies)))

Thanks

A: I'm pretty sure you're not really passing vectors to your function. It works for the vectors you supplied, using clojure 1.3.
A safer way to retrieve the nth value from a collection in clojure is the nth function. This function will work for whatever type of collection you pass in, lists, vectors, sequences and more.
As Joost commented, your function returns a lazy sequence, which might not be what you want. If you absolutely need a vector back you could pass the result of map to vec.

"Eu am o meserie bună, el nu are una."
Translation:I have a good trade, he does not have one.
I have a good trade does not make sense in English. This should be corrected into job, in my opinion!
Actually it makes perfect sense in English - people like carpenters, plumbers etc are often referred to as tradesmen, and apprentices learn a trade. It is something more specific than job as it refers to skilled manual work.
This should be job, not trade.
Unfortunately, a true "trade" (in the sense of a crafty skill) has pretty much disappeared in this global economy, so, yes, it sounds almost awkward to say this in English.

Work Text:
He's tired of living like this. He's tired of being suffocated by the late nights and early mornings. He's tired of pretending like everything's all sunshine and rainbows; he's tried to convince himself that it's fine, but it's not. He knows he messed up bad this time.
Because, well… he's laying alone in their apartment in Derry, and Richie's filming a comedy special in New York. They haven't talked in days. There haven't been any late night calls, or early morning texts.
Their fight was never supposed to happen.
It wasn't supposed to leave them like this .
He sits up, staring at the last message he sent.
I'm sorry. I really am. ❤
Read 1:13 a.m. .
He wonders if the airport has any flights leaving for John F. Kennedy International.
He's willing to take a chance.
He'd do anything for Richie.
The airport is freezing, despite the flannel pajamas and heavy winter coat he's wearing. He hugs the jacket tighter around himself, picking up the scent of Richie's aftershave. It's a reminder of why he's doing this. It keeps him from calling an Uber and going back home to their lonely bed.
Eddie didn't pack a suitcase; just a travel kit with necessities. He's not planning on staying for long; just long enough to apologize and make sure Richie knows he's sincere. Just long enough to make sure that they're okay.
He can't even remember what the fight was about. All it took was one stupid, insensitive sentence and Richie up and left, muttering a 'Have a happy fucking New Years' under his breath as he left Eddie on the snowy porch.
They're stuck on the runway after landing. It's snowing too hard for the pilots to see anything clearly. At this point, Eddie's ready to jump out of the tiny plane window and run the rest of the way to Richie.
Speaking of, he calls him. No answer, of course, but at least he can say he tried. He's tried almost everything.
He calls Bev; it goes straight to voicemail, and he mutters something about saying hi to Ben and seasons greetings, or whatever. He'll call her back when he's done with his mission.
Stan picks up Mike's phone, sounding totally awake for someone who's such a heavy sleeper.
"Stan speaking, what's up Eddie?"
"Why are you awake? It's four thirty."
"What do you want? It's four thirty."
"Where's Richie?"
"He's staying at the Marriott next to the Lone Bird comedy club."
"Thanks. I owe you."
"Whatever. Just don't break his heart anymore, okay?"
"I'm going to fix it."
"You do that."
This isn't the first time they've fought, of course. Richie's mouth is always getting him in trouble. But the last time, Richie showed up at Eddie's condo after driving fifteen hours straight, and asked him to marry him.
There's nothing Eddie can do to compare to that.
It's bordering on 7 a.m. when Eddie is finally knocking loudly on the door of room two-twenty.
There's a commotion inside, clattering bottles, and he hears Richie slur, "If it's room service, I don't want it." He opens the door slowly, peering out into the hallway, and Eddie thinks he sees Richie's eyes cloud over.
"I… uh…." Eddie realizes now that he didn't plan any grand, romantic speech to sweep Richie off his feet. He doesn't know where to start. "This isn't a marriage proposal, but I went on a plane without hand sanitizer to get to you. And I took a taxi by myself. It was really gross, but I'd do it again if it meant getting to you."
Richie's staring at him with a confused expression. He reaches out slowly to paw at Eddie's face as if he's not really sure this is real.
"You came all alone to see me?"
"Yeah. I realized what an asshole I was." He wonders if Richie will take him back this easy. "I missed you. I hated being alone without you, and I never want to leave your side again. I can't watch you walk away again. It was stupid not to chase after you, because I love you and I don't want to lose you. Can you find it in you to forgive me?"
Richie is crying, and he presses his forehead to Eddie's, because that's something he does when he's feeling vulnerable.
He pulls Eddie into the hotel room, wrapping him in a tight hug that would be suffocating if they didn't love each other so much.
This is forgiveness.
Richie's really good when it comes to the English language.
He never shuts up. He knows how to string together jokes and curses like it's nothing.
Eddie loves this about him.
He loves what happens when he touches Richie; pulls at his hair, pressing his lips to his neck, wraps himself around the taller man. Richie's a mess: a vulgar, hot mess, making noises Eddie would pay money to hear every day.
"What?" Richie asks, eyes wide open and blown behind his glasses when he notices Eddie hasn't made a move in a few moments. Eddie takes in the self-conscious blush that decorates his cheeks.
"You're beautiful." Eddie smiles at Richie's skeptical expression, soft and vulnerable, and he can't help but lean in to kiss him. He could spend hours kissing him, marvelling at the feeling of Richie's perfect lips. There's a hand gently holding his face, and Richie arches against Eddie, eliciting groans from them both.
Eddie hungrily grabs at the fabric of Richie's shirt, allowing the taller man to pull it off before he leans back in to run his teeth along the line of his neck, and Richie's body shudders with a shiver.
Richie's hands move to pull at the strings of Eddie's pajama pants with a "Can you take these fucking things off, please?" and Eddie slides them off before rutting into Richie again, desperate for friction.
"Eds," Richie murmurs, trailing his fingers across soft skin, fingertips burning with anticipation. "I want-"
"I think I can guess what you want."
"I want you to write 'Eddie Kaspbrak has the hottest fucking ass' on my gravestone when this inevitably kills me."
"Fuck you."
Below him, Richie waggles his eyebrows, grinning like an idiot. "Please do."
They're waiting for room service, still in a haze from the night before.
Eddie's playing with the curls on the nape of Richie's neck as the comedian types up new jokes to write into the next Netflix special. Both are lost in their own little world, but Eddie catches what Richie says, and it makes him freeze.
"You could've ended up with someone better, but you settled for me."
His fingers stop carding through Richie's hair, trying to figure out where the fuck that came from. "You think I settled for being with you?"
"Rich, you're so dumb sometimes." Eddie wishes they were positioned so he could see Richie's face; so he could kiss this stupid thought out of his head.
"I'm just saying that I think you're so much better than me, and I can't believe you decided to stick with me."
"Oh my god, you're dumb," Eddie says softly, no malice behind his statement. "I'm not better than you. You're always putting yourself down, like you're not good enough, but you don't understand how truly good you absolutely are. I need you to understand that, and I need you to know that you're not some consolation prize. I love you ."
"You do?" Richie sounds unsure, as if Eddie hasn't loved him since they were barely old enough to know the meaning of the word.
"Of course. I don't get on germ infested planes for just anybody."
"How long have you known?"
"Known what?"
"That you were gonna marry me."
"Since kindergarten, at least."
"That long?"
"Richie, I knew it from the first day I saw you trying to eat sand on the playground like the idiot that you are. I've had my vows in a notebook since fifth grade, surrounded by hearts with 'R + E' scribbled in them."
"I can't believe you just admitted that."
"Shut up. No one will believe you if you tell them."
Eddie honestly wasn't expecting to get married.
He knew that Richie wasn't too keen on the whole idea of marriage. When Eddie had first approached the subject at seventeen, Richie had scoffed and said "What? You want a flimsy piece of paper officially stating my dedication to you?" That was that.
So, imagine his surprise when not even a year later, Richie was down on one knee asking Eddie to marry him with tears in his eyes and a red velvet box in his hand. Obviously Eddie said yes, or they wouldn't be where they were now.
He and Richie told the Losers the next day; they all were thrilled, declaring shit like "took you assholes long enough," and Bev was there claiming the title of wedding planner extraordinaire, a job Eddie was more than happy to hand over.
Eddie's mother was significantly less thrilled; she tried to talk him out of it, and asked him what possible reason he had for doing this. (His answer then had made her roll her eyes. I love him, Ma .)
Maggie had fawned over the fact that she would finally be able to call Eddie her son-in-law, while Went patted Richie on the back telling him "you got a good one, son." Boy, did he know it.
It was the night before the wedding. They'd wanted to get married as soon as possible, not even wanting to wait two months, but Bev had insisted that they let her plan a proper wedding.
So here they were, Eddie was laying on top of Richie, knowing full well they were breaking Beverly's no-seeing-each-other-24-hours-before-the-wedding rule.
"I miss you already," Eddie stated, pulling himself closer (as if that was possible) to Richie.
"I don't need to leave. I can stay…"
"Mmm, but Stan will kill me and tell Bev we're breaking her rule if I keep you from his elaborate bachelor's party. Plus, you've never been one to say no to a stripper."
"While that is true, I told Stan no strippers. Who needs em when you have Sonia Kaspbrak?"
Eddie smacked Richie's arm with no real force. "Beep beep, Rich."
"Eds, bachelor parties are for guys who are sad to see their days of being single disappear. I, for one, can't wait to sleep with the same guy for the rest of my life."
"Contrary to your belief, not everything revolves around sex, you pig."
Richie's phone buzzed on the dresser beside them with a message from Stan, and he gently moved Eddie off of him. He stood up, and stretched, pulling his glasses on to read Stan's message. Then he leaned down and kissed Eddie's forehead.
"Get some sleep. You've got a big day tomorrow."
"Fantastic. Can't wait."
"I'll meet you at the altar, spaghetti man."
"I'll be the one in white."
Richie chuckled. "Damn, we might have clashing outfits."
"Oh, hell, look at your eyes!"
"Good morning to you, too, Beverly."
"What did you do? Stay up all night?" Beverly grabbed Eddie's arm and whirled him around to face her. "I swear to god Edward, if you were up with Richie…"
"No! No, definitely not! I was just too excited to sleep. We're getting married, Bev. I love him more than anything in the whole world, more than my own life, and, shit- by some miracle- he loves me that way too."
Bev rolled her eyes, but couldn't keep the smile off her face. "You're a lovesick idiot, Eddie Kaspbrak. You've left me with two hours to make you stunning for your future husband."
"Oh, please. No one expects me to be stunning. I think the bigger problem is that I might fall asleep before saying 'I do,' and Richie will make his escape."
Bev laughed as she pushed Eddie into the bathroom. He stared at the beauty and hair products she had laying on the counter, and began to feel his sleepless night kicking in.
"Is this really necessary? I'm going to look plain next to him no matter what."
She pushed Eddie to sit on the edge of the bathtub. "No one will dare call you plain when I'm through with you."
"Yeah, only because they're afraid you'll break their necks."
Eddie's stomach flipped nervously as he waited for the music signaling it was his turn to walk down the aisle. Bill stood beside him (they'd all agreed Bill would be better fit to walk Eddie down the aisle since Sonia would be too busy crying) and kept a hand on Eddie's arm, making sure that he didn't go into one of his panic attacks. A sudden fanfare trilled through the music, letting Eddie know it was time to walk.
"Don't let me pass out and die, Bill," he whispered.
Bill pulled Eddie's hand through his arm and then grasped it tightly. "J-just b-buh-breathe Eddie. I've g-got you."
One step at a time, he told himself as they began to move down the fairly short aisle. Why are you freaking out? This is what you've wanted for years!
He didn't lift his eyes until the edge of the altar came into view. As soon as he saw that, he looked up at where his future husband was standing.
All he really saw then was Richie's face; it filled his vision and overwhelmed his mind. His unruly hair was carefully pushed back, he'd swapped his glasses out for contacts, and Eddie could see the constellations of freckles on his cheeks. He looked perfect.
Richie met Eddie's awed gaze, and broke into a breathtaking smile as he made his way onto the altar. Bill handed Eddie over to Richie, smiling at the couple as he made his way to his seat.
Their vows were simple, traditional words that had been spoken a million times, though never by a couple quite like them. Eddie didn't realize he was crying until it was time to speak the binding words.
"I do," he managed to choke out. Richie smiled sweetly at him, and he lifted a hand to wipe away Eddie's tears.
When it was Richie's turn to speak, the words rang clear and unhesitant. "I do."
Mike declared them husband and husband, and then Richie's hands reached to cradle Eddie's face as he leaned down to kiss him.
They were lost in each other, forgetting about the crowd of friends and family, the place, the time, the reason. Eddie could only remember that he loved Richie, and that Richie loved him.
And that was the beginning of their forever...

Mushroom dishes are considered rich due to a composite called chitin. Mushrooms should be combined with light foods (e.g. potatoes, or letucce) so they don't overly burden the stomach. We should avoid combining them with heavy foods, such as beans, celery, or cucumbers. Many studies have shown the negative effects of combining mushroom dishes with alcohol, which makes it easier to digest fats, but hardens the proteins in the stomach, which then become much more resistant to the digestive juices. Children up to 3 years of age and people allergic to mushrooms shouldn't eat them at all.
In Chinese and Japanese medicine, mushrooms have been used for centuries in fighting against cancer, diabetes and circulatory problems. Many kinds of mushrooms increase the strength of the immunological system.
