As part of the ongoing expansion and rehabilitation works at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) terminal building, the airport is set to have a new surveillance equipment since the previous one broke down in 2000.
The high cost of the surveillance equipment has made it difficult for it to be replaced as it was last quoted to be at K 750 million in 2009.
Chief Consultant for Japanese Marubeni Protechs, Takao Yamaguchi, main contractors behind the rehabilitation works said they intend to put in place secondary surveillance radar equipment and automatic dependence surveillance broadcast mode equipment.
"It was not so much of a problem in terms of any risks. The equipment which we would provide under this project would enable aircrafts to be seen by the controller and other aircrafts in the vicinity which will enhance separation and safety," he said.
On Monday, the contractors took members of the media on tour of the site to provide an update on the progress that has been made so far on the project which is being financed by Governments of Japan and Malawi through Airport Development Limited (ADL) and Department of Civil Aviation (DCA).
As part of the expansion phase of the project a new arrival wing, new departure wing and a new domestic terminal are being constructed while the rehabilitation phase will see the expansion and rehabilitation of the passenger terminal building.
"We intend to install X-ray scanner for checked and carry-on baggage, metal detector gate, portable metal detector, aerial work platform plus CCTV system which will also enhance the security of the terminal," he said.
Yamaguchi said at the moment the capacity of the terminal is very small to accommodate passengers from three aircrafts which arrive at the same time from South Africa, Kenya and Ethiopia which has resulted in the space being too congested.
Chief Executive Officer for ADL, Rodrick Chattaika said with the kind of rehabilitation work being done it would mean doubling the available space and increasing the capacity to handle more aircrafts at KIA.
"This entails that we would now meet international standards in terms of safety and security while at the same time increasing the space that we can handle more passengers. The current space has limitations on the number of aircrafts it could handle and number of passengers.
"The arrival hall would be expanded, it would have more parking car cells, the immigration counters would be more than the current ones, and the check-in counters would be pushed backwards therefore increasing in number as well. The congestion will be less and the movement of the passengers will be quick," he narrated.
KIA was constructed 35 years ago and as such the building facilities at the airport have severely deteriorated and damaged, requiring major rehabilitation work.
In addition to this problem, due to the increasing number of passengers and the concentration of air traffic volume, the check-in counter, immigration, baggage claim area and other areas are extremely congested during peak times.
The ground breaking of the project was done on 10 February in 2017 and the rehabilitation and expansion works are expected to be through in 2019 when the facility will be handed over back to the government.

Q: How to fix problem with replacement characters "�" on the panels in RStudio? I think this is problem one can see using Cyrillic locales; also German, French, Turkish etc where letters can have diacritics - umlauts etc.
In my case, replacement characters appeared in panels when I compiled PDF with knitr and tried to find an unsearchable thing.
I have a cp-1251 character encoding by default.
If you want to see this problem by yourself, you can try to compile an example.

Are Surging State COVID-19 Cases Due to Early Reopening?
"How Coronavirus Cases Have Risen Since States Reopened" in The New York Times July 9 claimed, "Florida and South Carolina were among the first to open up and are now among the states leading the current surge. In contrast, the states that bore the brunt of cases in March and April but were slower to reopen have seen significant decreases in reported cases since. Average daily cases in New York are down 52 percent since it reopened in late May and down 83 percent in Massachusetts" (which reopened May 18).
The purpose of this note is to question whether or not it is accurate to simply attribute the "current surge" in cases or deaths to the "states first to open up."
The New York Times article showed the percentage changes in cases since reopening – the date when states "lifted order to stay at home or allowed major sectors such as retail, restaurants and personal care services to reopen either statewide or in most areas." Eight states "first to open up" reopened before May 1, twenty more before May 15, and twenty-two states were "slower to reopen" from May 15 to May 29.
Unfortunately, the author's main example – saying Florida was "among the first to open up" on May 4–puts that state into his middle group (May 2 to May 14). To keep 70% of Florida in the narrative (Southeast Florida remained closed), my Table defines early reopening as May 4 or earlier. I redefine late reopening to mean ten states (including D.C.) that reopened after May 20, because the author's May 15 definition of late is not much later than May 4. Reopening dates are from the New York Times article. Statistics on new cases per day from a recent 7 day average and on total deaths per 100,000 residents from the beginning were in nytimes.com on July 23.
About a third of the 23 states that opened by May 4 (four with Democrat Governors) did see relatively high daily numbers of new cases over the 7 days ending July 22, famously including Texas and Florida but not Arizona (which reopened May 8). About 15 of the early-reopening states have not seen a significant "surge" of new cases. California had such a surge, but was one of the last states to reopen.
What all of the early reopening states have in common is not how many positive cases they've had tested in the past two weeks, but how few deaths they have had since the virus began. Unusually low death rates in all 23 states explain why so many reopened early. Conversely, very high death rates in states with densely-populated cities explains why they reopened late – such as the NY/NJ/CT corridor, Chicago, Detroit and Washington D.C.
On July 17 another New York Times article, "After the Surge in Coronavirus Cases, Deaths Are Now Rising Too," claimed daily deaths per million in 18 states over a 7-day span were higher than on June 1. Any detected rise in a state's daily deaths, however small, was again blamed on "the reopening and relaxing of social distancing restrictions in some states." But that is not what that article's statistics showed.
Increases in daily deaths were expressed as percentage changes, not numbers. Oklahoma deaths were up by less than one person per million, yet that was labeled a 19% increase. A map highlighting 20 "States where deaths have increased [in percentage terms] since June 1" includes Hawaii with only 24 deaths since the virus began, and Alaska with only 17. Aside from Alaska and Hawaii, only 18 other states had any rising deaths, which means most states had falling deaths. Contrary to the "early reopening" theme, eight states with falling deaths were among the earliest reopening states – Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Maine, Indiana and Colorado. The last five early-opening states saw COVID-19 deaths fall by 60-70% since June 1, according to the same article.
Without careful cherry-picking among the 23 states that opened early, the date of reopening can't explain which states have recently experienced rising cases, much less rising deaths. California proves that reopening late does not by itself protect a state from a surge in new cases. Yet California is a rare state that reopened late despite few deaths (Washington may look like another, but Seattle had the first big nursing home crisis).
On the other hand, differences in death rates almost always explain which states opened early or late. Those with relatively few deaths (16 per 100,000 in Texas compared with 123 in Connecticut) have experienced almost flat epidemic curves – that is, cases and deaths did not rise sharply and then fall but instead remained low and little changed until recently.
By contrast, having suffered unusually high numbers of infections and deaths by April as late-openers did reduces today's odds of another big bout of community spread. Former super-hot spots like the NY-NJ-CT Metropolitan area have now acquired sizable pockets of COVID-19 resistance ("immunity") with previously-infected people now acting as a buffer to reduce contagion risk for their neighbors.

This Week in Cars: Some Of Our Favourite Modern Classics Cars From January 2021
Author: George East
© Porsche AG
Despite there being no end-date to the COVID-19 pandemic coming any time soon, one certain thing in 2021 is that the modern classic car market is still doing well - especially amongst millennial buyers.
This week, we spoke to Anglo-Swiss design house GRD about how the modern classic car market is influencing the design of their watches. We also found out why they believe the Porsche 911 is a masterclass in functionalist car design. Click here to read this exclusive story in full.
Continuing with the modern classic car theme, we have selected five of our modern classic cars from January 2021 for this latest edition of the Dyler This Week in Cars feature.
Enjoy the read!
1985 Peugeot 205 T16
With all-wheel-drive and a turbocharged, mid-mounted engine, the Peugeot 205 T16 is not your regular 1980s French supermini
© Kucarfa
The Peugeot 205 T16 was France's riposte to the all-conquering Audi quattro during the fire-spitting, big-winged Group B era of the World Rally Championship. To compete with the boys and girls from Ingolstadt, Peugeot took one of its popular 205 hatchbacks and then promptly threw most of it in the bin. The T16 is built around a tubular steel structure, and to mark it from a povvo-spec 205, it came with flared wheel arches, ridiculous period air scoops, and an entire rear clamshell that opens to reveal the Peugeot Pocket Rocket's party piece: a turbocharged, 1.8-litre, four-cylinder motor. Permanent four-wheel-drive is also on-tap just for when you feel the urge to tune your inner Group B hero. Given the 205 T16 was basically a street-legal rally car, Peugeot made just 200 of them for homologation purposes. In the WRC, the 205 T16 went on to win the 1985 and 1986 Constructors' and Drivers' titles with Timo Salonen and Juha Kankkunen. Along the way, they also gave Audi a proper pasting. The coolest hot hatch of all time?

1992 BMW M3 Cabriolet
Even 30 years after it went out of production, the BMW M3 is still considered to be one of the greatest drivers' cars of all time
© Scuderia Sportiva Colonia
Without a doubt, the BMW M3 is one of the most respected and recognisable cars in automotive history. The first iteration of BMW's iconic sports coupé (a handful of saloons were made, too) was conceived with the intention of going racing in the German Touring Car Championship, the DTM. As a result, only 5,000 M3 E30s were made from 1986 to 1991. Alongside the aerodynamic bodykit (the M3 had a drag coefficient of Cd=0.33 instead of Cd=0.38 as in the standard 3 Series), the BMW M3 was also significantly lighter than the regular car thanks to a tailgate made from glass-reinforced plastic and a glued-in windscreen. Despite having gone out of production three decades ago, the M3 still often makes it onto the list of the greatest drivers' cars ever made.

1994 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo II
After rewriting the WRC rulebook some three decades ago, the Lancia Delta is now considered greatest road-going rally cars in history
© Euro Classic Cars
From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, the Lancia Delta HF Integrale dominated the WRC in the hands of legendary drivers such as Miki Biason, Juha Kankkunen, and Markku Alen. The final version of Lancia's all-conquering road-going rally car was the Evo II, the car you see. When it launched in 1993, the Evo II was wider, faster, and more aggressive than any other previous Delta thanks to a wider bodykit, updated 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, all-new Garrett turbocharger, as well as improved air induction and an upgraded fuel injection system. At the end of the 1993 WRC season, Lancia withdrew from the sport after finishing fourth in the championship; a relatively disappointing result in comparison to their championship winning years. Despite not having been active in the WRC for almost three decades now, the Delta - like the Subaru Impreza and the Mitsubishi Evo - is absolutely one of the defining road-going rally cars of the era.

1997 Porsche 911 993 Carrera 2 S
The 993 is what happened when Porsche threw all of its know-how into its last air-cooled 911 - the results are spectacular
© Automobile
In Porsche circles, the 993 is oft-revered as "the last proper 911" because it was the last of the air-cooled cars. The 993 was an evolution of the 964, with both cars sharing 80% of their parts. As-per Porsche's philosophy of "evolution, not revolution", it improved the 911's aerodynamics with a smoother, sleeker appearance than its predecessor, built the car upon a light-alloy chassis to reduce weight, added a multi-link suspension to improve handling, and managed to squeeze a few extra BHP from the air-cooled motor thanks to a new VarioRam induction system. The 993 is also the last of the non-mass produced 911s, which is why the doors and hood shut with a satisfying "thunk" that purists believe is missing from later cars. The 993 has been out of production for almost 25 years now. However, its timeless design and its status as the pinnacle of the air-cooled designs make it one of the most desired 911s around.

2002 Aston Martin Vanquish
The Aston Martin Vanquish heralded a new, modern era for Aston Martin when it launched in 2001
© Veloce Classic and Sports Cars
It may seem hard to believe, but the Aston Martin Vanquish has been around with us for 20 years now. When the Vanquish was revealed at the North American Auto Show in 2001, the Ian Callum-designed car caused jaws to drop as it was a clear statement that the British carmaker sought to move away from its trademark wood-and-leather in search of a cooler, younger demographic. Instead of being built on a rickety Jaguar XJS-derived chassis like the DB7, the V12-powered flagship was forged around an all-ew aluminium composite structure which featured a carbon backbone. Inside, metallic inserts replaced the traditional dark wood found in Astons of yore, and under the skin, it also boasted highly-advanced electronics - again, these were all firm signals that Aston Martin was looking very much to its future. The Vanquish also featured in the 2002 James Bond film, Die Another Day, and it was ranked third on the list of Best Film Cars Ever behind the Minis from the Italian Job, and the Aston Martin DB5 from the Bond franchise.

When David Froman emerged from his San Diego home on the morning of 26 October 2003 and smelled smoke, he wasn't alarmed. Wildfires were raging across Southern California and one was burning nearby, but such occurrences were nothing new to residents of Froman's neighborhood.
"We'd had fires in the area before, but it wasn't anything we had to evacuate for," says Froman, an attorney and member of the Rotary Club of La Jolla Golden Triangle.
As a precaution, however, he gathered up some valuables and put them into his van. A short time later, fire officials came through the neighborhood and told residents to evacuate as quickly as possible. Within 15 minutes, Froman and his wife, Elizabeth, were on their way to safety. They would never see their house again.
Fire swept through the neighborhood and destroyed the Fromans' house and about 40 others on their street. Three days later, families were allowed to return to the neighborhood to sift through the piles of debris and ash that were once their homes. Facing an overwhelming task, Froman appealed to his Rotary club.
"He's a quiet guy," says Linda Stouffer, chairwoman of the club's family of Rotary committee. "He gave a very emotional statement. It touched us."
The next day, 40 members of the La Jolla Golden Triangle club arrived to help. They brought sifting equipment and other tools, food, and drinks to help the Fromans make it through the difficult day. Some stayed and worked until dark, even though they had a Paul Harris Fellow Recognition dinner to attend that night.
"They were giving and caring," Froman says. "How can you express your thanks for such love and compassion?"
Among the items that survived the fire were the couple's original wedding rings (they exchanged new rings on their 25th anniversary), Elizabeth's wedding dress (stored in a trunk under a wool blanket that withstood the flames), and, beneath that, a decorative pillowcase that Froman received as a gift from the mother of a U.S. Navy sailor he had represented in a court martial case in the Philippines. Hand-embroidered on the pillowcase are the words "God be with you when life's peril thick confound you," taken from an old hymn.
"When my wife held that up, there wasn't a dry eye," Froman says. "You'd better believe that is going to be framed in our new house."
Froman says that despite the pain of the loss, the tears he sheds now come when he recalls the kindness that his fellow Rotarians displayed that day. Stouffer says she never could have predicted that her club would be called on to respond to a crisis of this magnitude, but the members responded admirably.
"I hope this will punctuate for other clubs just what the family of Rotary is all about," Stouffer says.
According to District Governor Mike Stelman, at least seven Rotarian families in District 5340 had their homes damaged by the wildfires, the most destructive in California history, killing 22 people and consuming 3,500 homes. Stelman asked Rotarians to offer whatever assistance they can to those families.
Establishing a family of Rotary committee is a requirement for every district governor and every club in order to earn the 2003-04 Presidential Citation. The initiative encourages clubs and districts to include members' spouses and children, as well as the spouses of deceased Rotarians, in Rotary activities. It also underscores the importance of clubs coming to the assistance of members and their families in times of need.

Ellen DeGeneres "Begging" Kelly Ripa For Forgiveness After Having Michael Strahan On Her Show?
5:57 am, November 10, 2017
Is Ellen DeGeneres "begging" Kelly Ripa for forgiveness after having Michael Strahan on her talk show? That's the claim from one of this week's tabloids, which wrongly contends that DeGeneres feels bad for betraying the "Live" co-host. Gossip Cop can set the record straight.
The "Good Morning America" anchor appeared on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" in October, but according to Star, his interview was purposely "cooked up by the duo as a way to stick it to Kelly." Bizarrely, the publication goes on to claim that a "remorseful" DeGeneres is now asking Ripa for forgiveness and wants to "bury the hatchet" with her supposed "rival" after taking a "nasty swipe" at her on air. A so-called "source" is then quoted as saying, "What Ellen did to Kelly was just plain mean. She should be ashamed of herself."
The magazine's dubious insider further purports that Ripa was "livid" with DeGeneres. "Cozying up with Michael was like telling the world she had taken his side and was taunting Kelly. It took [DeGeneres] a little while, but after the show aired, she realized how hurtful it must have been," concludes the questionable "source."
But a source close to the talk show host laughed off the story, calling the report a "joke." Gossip Cop's insider even mocked the tabloid for taking a break from publishing untrue stories about DeGeneres' alleged marital problems with Portia de Rossi. Remember, we corrected the magazine earlier this month when it falsely alleged DeGeneres and Rossi were headed for a $400 million divorce. We also called out the publication for wrongly claiming Rossi had dumped DeGeneres for a man.
But that's not the only inaccurate report Star has published about the talk show host. In 2016, Gossip Cop debunked the tabloid when it falsely reported in an alarming cover story that DeGeneres was in a "health crisis." Much like those bogus and ridiculous tales, this latest one is equally untrue. DeGeneres does not "feel bad" about having Strahan on her talk show, nor is she begging Ripa for "forgiveness" after her so-called betrayal. The article is 100 percent manufactured.

How To Reduce Back And Neck Pain WITHOUT Drugs Or Surgery!
Discover why costly surgeries and addictive medications are NOT always the answer!
To learn how you can receive a FREE BACK PAIN RECOVERY CONSULTATION, rplease put in your information below and we will send you all the details.
You may want to consider spinal decompression coupled with oxygen enhanced brain-based therapy first.While other offices may offer spinal decompression as a stand alone treatment our protocols take spinal care a step further.To our understanding, we are the only office in the Chester County area to combine spinal decompression with the powerful effects of oxygen and brain based therapy.Spinal decompression therapy on its own has proven effective in treating degenerative discs, facet syndrome, sciatica, herniated discs and spinal stenosis.But when combined with a system of treatment that addresses the nervous system and core muscle strength, you have a winning combination.If you have already had surgery, spinal decompression therapy can still be considered if you suffer from failed back surgery syndrome.
Spinal decompression and oxygen enhanced brain-based therapy typically takes 30 minutes to perform. However, to achieve maximum and long-lasting relief, commitment to the entire recommended treatment program is necessary.For those who are candidates and follow the recommended guidelines, spinal decompression has proven to be highly effective.Spinal decompression is safe, comfortable and effective for patients experiencing bulging, degenerated and/or herniated discs.We have been performing spinal decompression in Chester County, since 1999. Our experience and cutting edge protocols have brought long lasting relief to hundreds in our community.

Q: Where can I find and download of old Garageband loops online? I had an old macbook for a while and that thing crashed, along with some of my music. I got a cheap toshiba for a couple years, saved up for a Macbook Pro. I bought the Pro in 2013, didn't much of the missing loops, but i'm trying to remake an old beat (the vocals sucked). The horns I chopped up are not available on the new GB, and I don't have any backups or versions of the horns without other instruments. Try as I might, i can't replicate this sound using music software or even live brass. Anyone know where I can find these old GB loops that were around from maybe 2006-2011?

A: try icompositions.com and macjams.com they both had some of the previous loops and other loops for free. If the loops were part of GB or logic or final cut pro then you can retrieve them from that software. Old versions of final cut studio 1 and 2 included the jam packs. As did logic among others. You can also try apple through a google search as they did have multiple free loops. eBay is another source or local stores.Local mac user clubs amy also be able to help. Since you owned the content you might try torrents or macserialjunkie.com

Q: Mapping sftp/scp as a drive letter without user logins I'm trying to find a software which could map sftp/scp services to a windows drive letter. I know there are quite a bunch of those available, but i haven't found a single one which could run with SYSTEM or Netservice privileges or have decent command line options so i could elevate the program myself. The mapped drive should be available for other services running on the same server.
Most of the programs (sftp netdrive, expandrive, etc) have only option to start automatically only when someone logs in. Because of that they are useless to me.
Their inability to handle non-interactive starts is a bummer too.
FTP->SFTP wrappers don't count as solution despite of integrated windows support for ftp drives. The way they are handled in windows makes ftp mapping unusable without some external ftp drive mapper software. That just adds unnecessary complexity to the solution.
No SMB either (long story / netbios bug).
Any ideas?

A: The reason you can't find what you are looking for is because it's not practical in Windows.
A drive is mapped only within an active session.  If you had a tool which ran as a service, it would map the drives OK, but the mappings would only be usable by the service.  The mappings would not propagate to your interactive session when you logged on, nor would they be available to other services running on the machine.
This is why all of the tools you have located already only create their mappings when the user logs on to the workstation - because it really is the only practical way to create drive mappings for interactive sessions on Windows.

A: I use win-sshfs, a SSH(SFTP) filesystem made using Dokan and SSH.NET library.
It has only cmd access. I'm not sure, but you could try run iy as a service.

Hans Georg Gundel (* 20. Oktober 1912 in Gießen; † 27. Dezember 1999 ebenda) war ein deutscher Althistoriker.
__KEIN_INHALTSVERZEICHNIS__
Der Sohn des Professors für Klassische Philologie Wilhelm Gundel wurde 1937 promoviert bei Fritz Taeger mit dem Thema Untersuchungen zur Taktik und Strategie der Germanen nach den antiken Quellen. Nachdem Gundel am Zweiten Weltkrieg teilgenommen hatte, unterrichtete er von 1948 bis 1968 am Landgraf-Ludwigs-Gymnasium in Gießen. Nach dem Weggang Wilhelm Hoffmanns im Jahr 1968 nach Tübingen wurde er auf den Lehrstuhl für Alte Geschichte an der Universität Gießen berufen. Diese Position hatte er bis zu seiner Emeritierung 1978 inne.

Gundel wurden zahlreiche Ehrungen wie die Wahl zum korrespondierenden Mitglied des Deutschen Archäologischen Institutes, 1982 die Auszeichnung mit dem Geschichtspreis der Universität Gießen, die Wahl zum Mitglied der Historischen Kommission für Hessen und die Berufung zum Ehrenmitglied des Oberhessischen Geschichtsvereins zu teil.

Schwerpunkte seiner Forschungen und Veröffentlichungen waren die römisch-germanischen Auseinandersetzungen, die antike Astronomie sowie die hessische, die Gießener und die Universitätsgeschichte. Seinem zweibändiges Hauptwerk zur Universität Gießen wird vorgeworfen, die "meisten peinlichen Fakten der Hochschulvergangenheit" in einer "Tradition akademischer Selbstbeweihräucherung" zu verschweigen, wobei "die braunen Flecken naturgemäß untergehen".

Von 1950 bis 1987 betreute er nebenamtlich die Gießener Papyrussammlungen der Universitätsbibliothek. Er arbeitete zeitweise am Thesaurus Linguae Latinae mit und verfasste zahlreiche vor allem prosopographische Artikel für Paulys Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft und den Kleinen Pauly.

Gundel wurde 1931 Mitglied der Burschenschaft Alemannia Gießen und im Wintersemester 1932/33 der Bonner Burschenschaft Frankonia.

February 2019—Declaring that his country is "growing strong," China's Xi Jinping recently proposed (or perhaps more accurately, demanded) that Taiwan and the Mainland unify under a "one country, two systems" approach. Xi envisions something similar to Beijing's relationship with Hong Kong. "The private property, religious beliefs, and legitimate rights and interests of Taiwanese compatriots will be fully assured," he promises. Washington and Taipei should not be fooled; this is no compromise. Xi has made it clear that, one way or another, Taiwan's island democracy "must and will be" absorbed by the People's Republic of China (PRC). In response, Washington must make it clear to Beijing—by word and deed—that China will not be permitted to reincorporate Taiwan without the consent of Taiwan's people.
Tsai is raising important points that reflect major differences between Taiwan and the PRC—differences Beijing simply refuses to see.
For instance, more than three generations have been born and raised in a Taiwan that's never been part of the Mainland. In a very real sense, a Taiwanese nation—separate and distinct culturally, politically and economically—has been built in the 70 years since the PRC was created. Not surprisingly, 60 percent of the people of Taiwan identify as Taiwanese—not Chinese.
It pays to recall that Taiwan has never been ruled by the PRC, so the term "reunification" is wholly inappropriate and inaccurate. This reality explains why 64 percent of Taiwanese oppose unification with the communist Mainland.
Beijing is underlining its words with provocative actions. Soon after his election, President Donald Trump agreed to take a phone call from Tsai. In response, the PRC dispatched its only aircraft carrier on a menacing circuit around Taiwan. Beijing also sent H-6K bombers, Su-30 fighter escorts and spy planes into the skies around Taiwan.
Washington seems awake to the danger posed by a reckless and impatient Beijing.
In January, acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan delivered a blunt message to senior Pentagon officials: "Remember China, China, China." Plus, the U.S. sent naval vessels to the region three times in 2018, and two U.S. warships transited the Taiwan Strait in January.
This sort of gunboat diplomacy is nothing new for the U.S. vis-à-vis China and Taiwan.
In 1950, President Harry Truman dispatched the Seventh Fleet to the Taiwan Strait. Likewise, President Dwight Eisenhower ordered warships to the waters around Taiwan to protect Taiwan from Mainland forces.
To show its displeasure with Taiwan's first direct democratic presidential elections, China launched a spasm of missile drills in the Taiwan Strait in 1995-96. In response, President Bill Clinton sent the carriers Independence and Nimitz to the region. The Nimitz even transited the Taiwan Strait—the first time an American aircraft carrier had done so since 1979.
In 2015, two days after Beijing flew bomber aircraft near Taiwan's airspace, U.S. F-18s landed in Taiwan—the first such landing in 30 years. In 2018, after PRC warships conducted drills near Taiwan, a U.S. Navy vessel made an eyebrow-raising stop to refuel in Taiwan.
The Pentagon said the unexpected visit by the F-18s was due to "a mechanical issue." Taiwan's military insisted the U.S. Navy drop-in was "unrelated to military activity." But given the timing, it seems Washington was sending a message: Taiwan is not alone.
To keep the peace, Washington will need to increase such shows of force in the years ahead. That presents a problem, given that today's Navy is simply too small to do everything it is being asked to do. At the height of President Ronald Reagan's rebuild, the Navy boasted 594 ships. When Clinton dispatched carriers to the Taiwan Strait to smother Beijing's temper tantrums, the fleet totaled 375 ships. But today's fleet numbers just 277 active deployable ships.
These numbers aren't even close to America's maritime needs. "For us to meet what combatant commanders request," according to former CNO Adm. Jonathan Greenert, "we need a Navy of 450 ships." A government-funded study concludes that the United States needs 14 aircraft carriers (the Navy has 11), 160 cruisers and destroyers (the Navy has 84), and 72 attack submarines (the Navy has 52).
America's self-inflicted limitations are not limited to the Navy. Thanks in large part to sequestration, the Air Force is "the smallest and oldest it has ever been," according to an Air Force report. Before sequestration, the Marine Corps fielded 202,100 active-duty personnel; after sequestration, there were only 184,000 Marines on active duty. The Army's active-duty force was 480,000 before 9/11; after sequestration, it was just 476,000. In other words, sequestration left America with a smaller Army in a time of war than it fielded in a time of peace.
As America guillotined its military, China's military spending has mushroomed (up 150.9 percent since 2008). China will deploy 73 attack submarines, 58 frigates, 34 destroyers, five ballistic-missile submarines and two aircraft carriers by 2020. The Pentagon reports China deploys more than 2,800 warplanes and has a bristling missile arsenal.
The PRC has 360,000 troops and 2,800 tanks in the Taiwan Strait region. Taiwan has 140,000 troops and 1,100 tanks total.
The PRC has 233 warships (including 30 amphibious transports) in the Taiwan Strait region. Taiwan has 108 warships total.
The PRC has 590 fighter aircraft and bombers within range of Taiwan. Taiwan has a total of 420 fighter aircraft and no bombers.
The PRC has some 1,600 missiles opposite Taiwan, up from 200 in 2000.
Taiwan is increasing military spending by 6 percent this year. Mustering the best defense it can in light of its geopolitical situation, Taiwan is deploying indigenous anti-submarine and anti-ship missiles.
The U.S. should help Taiwan help itself by selling Taipei more tools tailored to defend the island and deter the Mainland—high-end anti-ship missiles, anti-aircraft batteries and anti-missile systems to deter an invasion, non-digital communications systems in case of a PRC cyber-siege, VSTOL aircraft in case of PRC attacks on airfields and airports. The vertical-takeoff F-35B would be ideal for Taiwan, which deserves the new warplane more than Turkey's unfriendly regime.
In addition to more tailored military assistance for Taiwan and more deterrence tools for the U.S. military, Washington should explore updating the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA).
As a result, neither side of the Taiwan Strait knows exactly what Washington would do in the event of war. This policy of "strategic ambiguity" may have served a purpose in the past, but it's a recipe for disaster today.
Tsai's words remind us that, no matter the history and no matter Beijing's plans, the reality is that today's Taiwan is a self-governing democracy. It will not negotiate away its de facto independence, and it will not allow itself to be absorbed by force or incorporated by coercive policies.
ultimatum? And what's to stop Taipei from declaring independence?
In short, the time for "strategic ambiguity" has given way to a time for clarity. Washington's goal should be to preserve Taiwan's security, to prevent Taiwan from turning its de facto independence into de jure independence, to persuade Beijing that pursuing any alternative to the status quo would threaten U.S. interests, and to make clear that the only unification the United States would countenance is one initiated by Taiwan—and reflecting the will of its people.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United match preview
February 11th, 2012 | 24 Comments |
Triffic 'Arry!
Venue: White Hart Lane, Tottenham.
Date: Saturday 11th Feb, 2012.
Kick-off: 5.30pm.
Referee: Andre Marriner.
It would be tempting to think that Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp had been distracted by one or two other things this week whilst preparing his 'Spurs squad for this weeks game, but that would probably be folly. With the weather and his other "distractions", 'Arry couldn't even make it to Tottenham's last game against Liverpool away, and they still drew 0-0 against the mighty Reds.
One could also say that the 'Spurs supremo is having something of a "lucky" week too, up before the beak as a suspected tax evader one minute, and hot favourite as England manager the next. Though some might even think that the could be more damaging in the long run, a perfect way to ruin a glittering career if some of the previous incumbents are anything to go by. Even our own Silver Supremo, Alan Pardew, felt the need to rule himself out for some reason, though one or two of the media have been quick to link him not with the England job, but with a certain managerial position in North London which may or may not be coming up in the near future. But enough of such silliness, let's get on with the game!
Stats, previous matches etc…
Blackpool target loan Ranger.
July 18th, 2010 | 144 Comments |
Ranger to be loaned out?
Fellow Premier League new boys look to be targetting one of our own young guns, Nile Ranger, as they look to beef up their attack in an attempt to survive in the Premier League.
Talks have apparently taken place between Ian Holloway and Chris Hughton over the possibility of Ranger making the switch to Bloomfield Road, according to The Express.
It is widely expected that some of younger players will be moving out on loan to various clubs throughout the course of the season, and Nile Ranger always had an outside chance of being sent out on loan this season, perhaps to a team in the Championship.
If this report is to be believed then apparently not, and in that case you have to question the wisdom of loaning out a player to a team that will probably be knocking around the same part of the league table as us. It could come back and bite us on the arse, remember Lomano Lua Lua and Portsmouth anyone? (more…)
Newcastle after Everton's Dan Gosling?
July 3rd, 2010 | 208 Comments |
Dan Gosling - A surprise Newcastle target?
A new rumour has started doing the rounds regarding Everton youngster Dan Gosling and a possible switch to Tyneside in the near future, according to Sky Sports.
Now I know what you're thinking, and it's probably along the same lines as what i am thinking, and that is that we have no chance of getting a player who is so highly coveted in England and should turn out to be a star in the future.
But did you know he could be available for free? No, neither did I! Apparently it stems from a contract wrangle at Goodison Park where Gosling was verbally offered a new deal, only for the final written offer to not be sent to him by the due date, meaning that he could be available for nothing, depending on the outcome of a Premier League ruling due to be held soon.

Newcastle must choose a new captain, but who will it be?
July 2nd, 2010 | 71 Comments |
Kevin Nolan: Future captain?
The captains armband is up for grabs at the minute after being left vacant by the now departed Nicky Butt, but who, in your opinion, is the most deserving and most likely candidate for the role next season?
Newcastle are kind of lucky in that regard as we have a lot of players who have played at the highest level for a long time, they know what it's about and they know what is required. With pre-season just around the corner, it gives all the likely candidates a chance to push their credentials forward for the job.
Obviously Nicky Butt didn't play too much of a part last season, but it still didn't stop him being the captain. Part of the theory behind that is because we have a lot of 'on the pitch' leaders, which fortunately meant Nicky Butt didn't need to be on the pitch to perform his 'duties'. Kevin Nolan, Alan Smith, Steve Harper and Fabricio Coloccini all had turns in wearing the armband last season, and considering all of those look likely to kick off the new season with us then you would have to assume that one of them has to be in the running to be named the captain on a full-time basis. So let's take a look at the options. (more…)
Hughton can now start to put his own stamp on things at Newcastle.
June 5th, 2010 | 43 Comments |
Carver - Back in Toon?
Since our Championship winning season drew to a close a few weeks back, Newcastle United have had more coaches departing than the local bus station.
The latest one to break rank was Alan Thompson, who relinquishes his role as reserve-team coach in favour of a move up to Celtic where he will become Neil Lennon's new less than glamorous assistant.
Thompson's departure follows hot on the heels of another one of our backroom staff, Kenny Wharton, and that leaves us with only a manager, an assitant manager and a goalkeeping coach working behind the scenes with the players. So is this little backroom reshuffle Hughton's chance to get his own men in? Something he didn't have a chance to do when he first took on the role as manager. (more…)

Litigation / Trial Practice
2nd Circuit (incl. bankruptcy)
Morton Salt Presumption Of Injury Under Robinson-Patman Act
Plaintiffs and appellants, the disfavored purchasers in a Robinson-Patman Act case, were twenty-eight retail pharmacies who alleged that the pharmaceutical manufacturer defendants had charged them higher prices than those charged since the early 1990s to the favored purchasers, who typically received discounts and rebates. The favored purchasers included HMOs and pharmacy benefit managers, who manage benefits for insurers and HMOs. Plaintiffs claimed that the price differentials harmed their ability to compete, causing them to lose customers to the favored purchasers. After years of discovery, the district court granted summary judgment and dismissed plaintiffs' Robinson-Patman Act claims (15 U.S.C. sections 13(a), (d), and (f), 15 and 26) for failure to prove competitive or antitrust injury. The court of appeals affirmed. Cash & Henderson Drugs, Inc. v. Johnson & Johnson, 799 F.3d 202 (2d Cir. 2015).[1]
The Second Circuit relied on the language of the Robinson-Patman Act itself as setting forth competitive injury as an essential element of a claim brought under that Act:
the effect of such discrimination [the price differential] may be substantially to lessen competition . . . or to injure, destroy, or prevent competition with any person who . . . knowingly receives the benefit of such discrimination . . . .
Cash & Henderson, 799 F.3d at 209, quoting Section 2(a) [15 U.S.C. Section 13(a)]. The Second Circuit placed great emphasis on the word "substantially."
The court ruled that the key to showing competition may have been substantially lessened is sales lost by the disfavored purchasers to the favored purchasers. Cash & Henderson, supra, at 210 ("the 'hallmark of the requisite competitive injury' is the diversion of sales to a favored purchaser" [quoting Volvo Trucks of North America v. Reeder-Simco GMC, Inc., 546 U.S. 164, 177 (2006)]). This can be shown in either of two alternative ways: "[1] showing substantial discounts to a competitor over a significant period of time, known as the Morton Salt inference, or [2] proof of lost sales to favored purchasers." Cash & Henderson, 799 F.3d at 210, citing Falls City Indus., Inc. v. Vanco Beverage, Inc., 460 U.S. 428, 435 (1983); also citing FTC v. Morton Salt Co., 334 U.S. 37, 50-51 (1948) (violation inferred from lengthy, substantial price discrimination between competitors). The Morton Salt inference may still be alive and well. It continues to be cited by the Supreme Court. Cash & Henderson, 799 F.3d at 212, citing Falls City, 460 U.S. at 437; Volvo, 546 U.S. at 177.
The plaintiffs here first sought to meet the test through direct proof of lost sales to favored purchasers. They devised, under court supervision, a "matching process," which required extensive and lengthy discovery from, inter alia, favored purchasers, to identify such lost sales through "matched customers:"
[A] "matched customer" was one who filled a prescription for one of the specified drugs, or a common substitute, at one of the favored purchasers' pharmacies within six months of the last time they filled that prescription at one of the twenty-eight plaintiff pharmacies.
Cash & Henderson, 799 F.3d at 207.
The result of this matching process, in the court's view, established that plaintiffs had lost a "de minimis" amount of business to the favored purchasers that was too small to amount to a substantial lessening of competition. Id. at 208 ("the plaintiffs had lost a miniscule number of customers to favored purchasers"). For example, the "number of transactions . . . represented only one quarter of one percent of the average number of such transactions of such pharmacies . . ." Id. ("no pharmacy lost more than around one percent of the total brand name prescription drug transactions conducted by the average independent pharmacy").
Plaintiffs also relied on the Morton Salt inference of injury because the record showed "substantial discounts over a considerable period and . . some evidence of diverted sales." Cash & Henderson, at 212. The Second Circuit held that the proof adduced through the "matching process" rebutted the Morton Salt inference and resulting presumption of injury. Id. Because the antitrust laws are intended to protect the competitive process, the Court reasoned, the presumption should not operate where the record shows that there is no threat that competition may be substantially lessened. Id. at 212-213.
The court declined plaintiffs' invitation to read the Morton Salt inference expansively, such as plaintiffs' assertion that the Morton Salt inference should be not be rebuttable where a plaintiff can show some lost sales, which the court rejected. Id. at 212. The court stated instead that it construed the Robinson-Patman Act "consistently with the broader policies of the antitrust laws." Cash & Henderson, 799 F.3d at 213 and at 209, quoting Volvo, 546 U.S. at 181, and Automatic Canteen Co. of Am. v. FTC, 346 U.S. 61, 63 (1953) (Frankfurter, J., for the majority: the Robinson-Patman Act is not to be interpreted so that it "give[s] rise to a price uniformity and rigidity in open conflict with the purposes of other antitrust legislation").
In sum, the Second Circuit held that plaintiffs had not proven any competitive injury (799 F.3d at 209-213) or antitrust injury. Id. at 214. For those same reasons, the district court had properly denied plaintiffs injunctive relief. Id. at 214-15. Dismissal of plaintiffs' Section 2(d) and 2(f) claims was affirmed due to the court's holding that plaintiffs had not suffered any antitrust injury. Id. at 215.
[1] The case has a complex procedural history that this article will touch on only briefly. Initially there had been nearly four thousand plaintiffs, but more than three thousand "concluded that they would not be able to identify lost customers and filed stipulations of dismissal with prejudice." 799 F.3d at 207. These twenty-eight plaintiffs apparently were bringing a lead case that, by stipulation, would have a binding effect on other plaintiffs not parties to the appeal. Id. at 209 n.6.

Momma's pleased that I started playing piano. She takes it as a sign I've gotten over the worst.
I don't cry nearly as often as I used to. She notices I always practice the same tribute, a mournful song by John Denver. Never told her why.
When I was a little girl, Daddy brought home a dog from the pound. I pat it on the head in the morning, but all that's left when I get back from school is an empty bottle of Lamb's Navy and a bite mark on Daddy's face.
"Where's my puppy?" I ask.
"He's gone," Daddy snorts, nodding to the .22 rifle leaning in the corner. "To the happy hunting grounds," he adds gruffly.
I protest, but my backtalk gets Daddy upset. He slaps me to the floor. I jump up sputtering. Again he knocks me flat, so I just lay there. Then he pulls me to my feet by the shirt collar and pushes me down once more.
The next morning Daddy comes to my room and says sorry. But he's not really. That night he gets drunk and hits Mom. I cower in a wardrobe box in the basement. Cover my ears so I can't hear.
Now I keep a notebook hidden in my closet. Mark down an "x" every time Daddy does me wrong. I'll pay him back some day. With children, you reap what you sow.
You give a girl a gun, you expect her to use it. Daddy taught me to shoot. First at gophers. They're just pests anyway, digging holes in farmer's fields where a horse can trip and break his leg.
Our family is moving back to the ranch. Grandma had a stroke, she needs our help. From my window seat the sparse prairie stretches flat like that dime Daddy left on the tracks when our train pulled out of the station.
Ranching is less a business than a way of life. Don't you city kids want to know? It's a love of the outdoors, manual labour and independence. A dream carried with pride and persistence from generation to generation.
Daddy throws himself into the traces. Takes all of our savings and borrows more to buy a Romanian tractor with a cab and four extra quarters of land. Grandma runs a mixed beef cow-calf operation with about three hundred head.
Dad also drives to Lloydminster to buy two French Charolais cows. He plans on raising a purebred herd. They stretch tall like horses as they stumble off the truck and through the chute in the moonlight.
"My great white hopes!" Daddy whispers.
I'm happy in the spring when one of those Charolais cows gives birth to a healthy bull calf, but Daddy's quick to correct me, "That's no good. I wanted a heifer." Heifers can have more calves so his herd will grow quicker.
Another water bag breaks, our second purebred goes into labour, except the calf's too big, there's trouble with the delivery. We put her on a truck and drive out to the vet, but in the middle of her C-section, the cow dies from blood loss, the calf asphyxiates. It would have been a heifer.
In our first week at the ranch, Annie chases the yearlings through the fence. Daddy loses a day rounding them up and re-stringing barbwire.
"I'll shoot that damn dog!" he mutters through gritted teeth.
Even Grandma gets mad when two days later, the neighbours bring Annie home after she strays into their barnyard and kills five chickens.
Mom saves the day and calms Daddy down.
"We've only just moved here. It's lonely on the farm," she says.
Don't I know it, standing in a field of barley, staring up at a goshhawk circling high in the sky. I have no friend yet, except little Davy Hancock, who lives a mile up the road.
Davy often comes around to watch my Uncle Ben fix equipment. Uncle Ben doesn't mind, little Davy's full of boyish insights about cows and dogs or the time he chased his brother with a steak knife. The Hancock's aren't too sophisticated, sometimes you'll catch Davy's father skinning a muskrat on the kitchen table. We skin ours in the basement.
I spend that summer helping Daddy break his new land, picking rocks and clearing roots. It's gruelling work, lugging heavy stones to the flatbed on foot in July heat. Davy pitches in too, just because he likes our company. Uncle Ben pays him twenty-five cents an hour anyway, he's a good little hired hand.
My family is a picture of industry. Looking down in the valley, you'll see three oily tractors criss-crossing our home section, often racing against a storm. Daddy pulls the hay conditioner while Uncle Ben stukes bales. Grandma zips along fastest on her old Cockshutt diesel, turning windrows to dry. The tined wheels of her rake spin like a big daddy long legs crawling over the stubble.
I'm too young to drive, but that doesn't stop little Davy, he's on another tractor helping his own father in the next field.
Mom puts me to work weeding peas in the garden. Such chores don't interrupt the frequent forays Annie and I take into the pasture hunting sharp-tailed grouse. Annie sniffs and chews at blood-speckled feathers, and on some level, must equate death with the scent of gunpowder and the warm barrel of my .22.
One fateful afternoon, I jump on my bike to ride along the highway into town. Annie follows. She's not used to the strange vehicles that pass by and their speed. Snaps at them to defend me and boldly chases a few. How could I have been so stupid? Annie misjudges her attack on a late model Pontiac driven by some high school kid. The front bumper hits her square in the back end and sends her cartwheeling off the pavement.
Oh, the piteous yelps! Propped on two front paws, Annie pulls herself around in tight circles in the ditch, dragging her hind legs. In shock I rush over but my efforts to comfort are met with a snarl. She can't walk, so I ride into town alone and call mother.
Mom arrives in good time and drives me back to where Annie was hit, but the dog can't be found. We search the bush and there's still no sign. Must have crawled off to die. Or otherwise, get eaten by coyotes.
Lacklustre minutes roll into tedious hours. I shuffle with scuffed shoes in aimless rings about the corrals, past our favourite haunts, turning over those final moments in my mind. Staring at an empty dog dish on the front porch. Closure is elusive without a proper burial.
It's three days later when Dad walks into the house with a soft expression. In a tight voice he announces that my "old friend" has come home.
"Annie!" I scream, bursting out through the screen door and squeezing her neck in a fervent hug. She dumbly licks the joyful tears from my face.
This unlikely reunion will forever remain the happiest moment of my childhood.
I join the 4H beef club in the fall. Daddy picks out our rangiest steer from the herd. It's wild and scared, freshly weaned from its mother. When I try to lead him with a halter, he turns and runs the other way. I'm dragged along by five hundred pounds of freedom in a flash of friction and rope burn.
But we tie the steer up in a stall. I care for him all winter. Feed him alfalfa and buckets of chop. Break the ice in his trough every day so he can drink. Shovel out the stable with a pitchfork. Currycomb straw from his coat.
Over time he rewards my kindnesses with tolerance. I'm able to climb on the fence beside him, gently ease one leg over his broad back and inch my way across until I'm sitting cowboy-style atop him, while he peacefully eats.
I also catch ringworm from such close contact. A cousin on the school bus asks about the blotches on my face. I lie and say it's a burn I got from smoking a cigarette while pouring purple gas.
Annie remains my foremost companion. We're out for a walk when she has a run-in with a porcupine.
"You stupid kid! Why'd you let her do that?" Dad shouts at me later as he tries with his pliers to extract forty quills from her muzzle. We end up driving out to Grande Centre again, another costly vet bill we can't afford.
It's not a great time to be farming. Cattle prices drop steadily to their lowest level in years. Interest rates rise to 17%. We lose twenty calves due to scours. It's like a severe flu, they get diarrhoea and die of dehydration.
Uncle Ben once talked about becoming a vet, but it's a stretch for a man who never finished high school. He tries his best jumping around in rubber boots bottle-feeding them electrolytes, but it doesn't always work. Our money's running out. It's hard paying bills much less interest. Daddy says the banker is threatening to call his loan.
To make ends meet, Uncle Ben and Dad butcher a cow every week and sell the fresh meat locally to acquaintances. It's only a stopgap measure, sales aren't much.
My 4H steer takes second place at the show down in Meadow Lake. Safeway Foods pay a premium price for the Grand Champion, but runner-up never fetches nearly as much. Daddy enters the auction trying to raise the bid. Professional buyers aren't readily fooled. We end up having to purchase our own steer back and haul him home again.
He's now twelve hundred pounds of grain-fed beef and no different from the rest. I hold the halter while Daddy shoots him. The deafening recoil of the big rifle accompanies the steer's ignominious collapse. Stiff legs splay straight out from the fallen carcass in a puff of dust while a trickle of blood slowly runs from its breathless nostrils. Daddy moves to slice the steer's throat and we hoist it up with a front-end loader. Set about skinning the animal in silence.
Mom and Dad are fighting a lot lately. Dad comes in from the yard and grumbles about eating stew leftovers two days in a row. Mom says, "Well, you don't have to eat it," so Dad dumps it on her head. Uncle Ben jumps up like he wants to do something, but just walks out in disgust taking his plate to the living room.
The men charge out into the field. Little Davy stalled his tractor taking a run at that steep hill we call "Baldy." He popped the clutch, the tractor flipped over backwards and rolled on top of him. By the time they get it off, there's not much left of poor Davy. He's gone before they reach the hospital.
The next morning I wake up to fearful sounds coming from the bedroom. The hoarse, guttural sobs of a man broken by fate. I've never heard Daddy cry before. Don't move until it's quiet again.
Daddy tells us a few days later that we're selling the farm. Going back to Alberta where he'll work on the rigs. That doesn't bother me, until he says that Annie won't be coming.
"It wouldn't be fair to a farm dog to move her to town," he contends.
When Daddy puts his foot down, there's no point in arguing. But I'm not the little girl I once was. We've all toughened up. I'll have my say.
Daddy wants to leave Annie with the neighbours, but I know she'll just escape to try and find me. Maybe get run over in the process or eaten by coyotes.
You don't take a girl away from her dog. So I ask Grandma where she's been keeping the .22 shells. Load up my rifle. Then I walk to the garage where I know Daddy will have to come to take off his dirty coveralls. Annie follows along at my heels like she's done a hundred times.
We wait in the dark. Annie's restless. Dad walks in and turns on the light. I raise my gun and Annie looks up as if to ask, "Hey, what are you doing?" I close my eyes and pull the trigger.
Dad carries me to the house. I tiptoe to the couch and bury my face in the cushions. Whispers in the kitchen. An unsuppressed gasp. Momma doesn't want to believe it, runs out on the porch shrieking into the still night air, "Annie! Annie!" for a dog that will never come. From somewhere in the house, I hear the radio playing a mournful song by John Denver.

Bought to Rot
Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers
Limited edition white LPs now available! (Select color for deluxe LP - red or white)
Debut album from new band led by Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace. Deluxe LP on red vinyl. Includes digital download.
14 tracks spanning Laura Jane Grace's fractured relationship with her adopted hometown of Chicago, true friendship, complicated romance, and reconciling everything in the end, 'Bought to Rot' stands as the most musically diverse collection of songs Grace has written to date.
To say musician, author and activist Laura Jane Grace has had a defiant career would be the understatement of the year. Whether being accused of leaving the DIY punk scene to pursue a major label career over a decade ago, or courageously challenging people's conceptions of gender identity with a bombshell Rolling Stone article, Grace has remained a daring and influential cultural figure in her over 20+ years of creating dynamic art across various mediums. Sure, she's bound to worry some fans with her decision to press pause on Against Me! to release a more intimate singer-songwriter leaning solo album under the name Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers, but her artistic motivation cast her determination in steel. "In the back of my head I was thinking, 'f**k all of you, I'm going to do this anyway,'" she says with a smile.
With this conviction came liberation, because few expectations equals total freedom. Indeed on the record's opening cut, "China Beach," Grace delivers a bold, lip-curled statement of intent: "Learn to trust yourself, no one else matters / Respect the source and always welcome failure." And it's in this spirit—with the help of Against Me! drummer Atom Willard and long-term AM! producer Marc Jacob Hudson on bass—that Bought to Rot, the debut album from Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers, came into existence.
Bought to Rot was written largely in motion—on tour, in Spain, Australia, Amsterdam hotel rooms, and some at home in Chicago. It's a record scorched with honesty, unapologetically confessional, capturing many moments snipped from Grace's life and stitched together in song. Although it's a step and a twist away from Against Me!'s sonic blueprint, there's still a kinetic punk energy that vibrates throughout. These compositions are looser, stripped, but with a melodic pop immediacy pushing to the fore. "I have my main gig, but I'm still doing this thing," she continues. "It's undeniable and it's really good and here's the proof … so what are you going to do with that?" Well, it has to go out into the world: via Bloodshot Records, the storied Chicago indie boasting a past & present roster that includes Ryan Adams, Neko Case, Murder by Death, Old 97's and Justin Townes Earle.
The seeds of this project were initially sown when Grace, Hudson and Willard introduced the band on a small run of dates in 2016 that included Grace delivering impassioned readings of journal entries between stripped-down Against Me! songs, most of which were featured in her critically acclaimed memoir Tranny: Confessions Of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout. Coming off the cycle for Shape Shift With Me, Against Me!'s latest full-length studio album, and a North American arena tour with Green Day, Grace was asked to perform a Mountain Goats cover on the podcast Welcome to Night Vale, and it was then that she received a massive sense of renewed momentum overall.
With additional songs penned that felt more stand-alone than a proper Against Me! offering, Bought to Rot resulted in 14 gripping tracks detailing Grace's fractured relationship with her adopted hometown of Chicago ("I Hate Chicago"), the act of interpersonal acceptance ("The Friendship Song"), all-consuming affection until our ultimate demise ["Apocalypse Now (& Later)"], complicated romance ("The Airplane Song"), and reconciling everything in the end. As a complete body of work, the album stands as the most musically diverse collection of songs Grace has written to date, and is what she affectionately calls her "Scorpio" record – redolent in sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll.
Additionally inspired in large part by Full Moon Fever, the first album Grace ever owned, Bought to Rot finds her at the same age Tom Petty was when he created his classic solo debut. In light of his recent passing, Grace was even able to pay direct homage to him on the recording. "I bought a '64 Fender Jaguar off Stan Lynch, drummer of the Heartbreakers, and I always like to think that maybe Petty had picked it up and strummed a couple chords on it," she says. "I always liked the idea of having my fingers dance on the same fret board as my hero."
There's a refreshing sense of variety present on Bought to Rot, an album that features a vast array of musical textures and lyrics that read like separate short stories throughout. "My approach musically to the record was that I wanted it to feel like a mixtape," Grace recently told Rolling Stone. "Like OK, you've got this Nirvana-like song, you've got a Cure song. It was musically freeing, in that way, to just be playing whatever was coming to me as I was writing and not having to think about it." As such, "I Hate Chicago," a tongue-in-cheek centerpiece to the album that has become a bit of a live favorite to Chicagoans and non-locals alike, finds Grace at her most wry and entertainingly venomous, lambasting the city's sports teams and revered bands, its festivals and its unfriendly denizens over an Americana-angled jaunt.
Created at a breakneck pace, Bought to Rot is finally here and ready to be consumed & dissected: to be loved, to be hated. It's an album propelled by a sense of restless, forward motion and the inherent need for Grace to continue evolving as an artist and person the only way she knows how. "I don't want to write about these same things anymore," she says. "I need some new sources of inspiration. And I don't want to be negative. I want to write some positive, happy songs, and I wanted that to be inspired by positive, happy living, too."
Against Me! has toured with Bloodshot artists Murder By Death, William Elliott Whitmore, and Cory Branan and, in 2017, Grace appeared on the lead track "I Only Know" on Branan's album Adios.
Angular punk attacks, classic rock riffs and barroom singalongs that recall everyone from Nirvana and the Cure to Tom Petty and the Mountain Goats.
— Washington Post
Like 'Full Moon Fever,' 'Bought to Rot' is an act of self-determination and liberation.
— Rolling Stone Germany
A dizzying, sometimes hysterical, sometimes heartbreaking but always deeply personal album.
— Chicago Sun-Times
Grace's most genre-explorative statement to date...teetering between organized and messy, the melodic and chaotic.
— Exclaim (Canada)
Grace's brash authenticity has a one-on-one quality; listening to her is like sitting down at a table with a compelling storyteller who lays out all her cards and wins you over even as she challenges you...On Bought to Rot she's truly become one of those people whose mere presence reminds you what it's like to feel at home.
— Chicago Reader
The Devouring Mothers are a looser unit than Against Me!, as evident in the folk-punk...and the indie rock flight.
— Consequence of Sound
Grace grew up idolizing Petty, and each built a distinct artistic persona around direct plainspokenness. The former will always fit more syllables into any given couplet, but both have thrived by speaking — and living — their truth as they've seen it.
— NPR Music
The most varied release in Grace's catalogue.
— The Line of Best Fit
Bought to Rot bounds around outside the boundaries and margins of punk, while still bearing the unfiltered, playfully profane, overstuffed-with-ideas trademark of its leader.
'Bought to Rot' ranges from screaming blasts of punk to poppier tracks reminiscent of Ted Leo's propulsive tunes to fuzzy, gritty rock that picks up where The Strokes left off on 'Is This It.'
Worldly nods to Tom Petty and gritty yet warming brand of Americana

Kilonova
William Elliott Whitmore
The duality of big and broad vs. microscopic and narrow is ever-present, especially as the group explores untapped genres, dynamic and emotional touches, intersecting and introspective storylines, and remote edges of the galaxy.
The Other Shore
Years solidifies the point: Sarah Shook & the Disarmers have moved from getting people's attention to commanding it. The album is resolute, blunt, and unflinching.
Sarah Shook & the Disarmers
Birmingham/Nashville group's second full-length has one foot firmly planted in reality as the other tip-toes in and out of mental complexities, self-perception and altered-state illusions. The results are revealing, exhilarating and profound.
Visionland
Banditos
Never a genre loyalist, 'ADIOS' finds Branan (much like his musically restless heroes Elvis Costello and Tom Waits) coloring outside the lines in sometimes jarring shades of fuzz and twang. You can trust Branan to take you somewhere unexpected.
Cory Branan
Struggles between balance and outburst, infectious choruses fronting emotional torment are sung with a sneer, a spit, or a tenderness and openness that is both intensely personal and universally relatable. It is, as the title suggests, real.

Q: Am I too old to reach to the point of a ground-breaking research and achieve it? I am sorry if I am posting this question here; I thought that since I am looking for historical evidences of successful people in mathematics, so may not this question be an opinion-based one. And also not duplicate as it is not about getting PhD at later age or the like.
I am 30 years old; I have studied physics to masters degree, even though I liked physics but I left it mostly because I didn't find any strong talent to do a great thing in physics and I thought that I can achieve it in mathematics. It's been a few months that I have started mathematics from scratch and I am spending average 14 hours a day learning maths. Though I have found mathematics more fascinating than any other things but my strong stimulus to go ahead especially as a self-learner is hope to do a ground-breaking research and be successful in that.
My questions are:
1- Will my mind be biologically too old to do comparable to what Fields medalists or other brilliant people have done or maybe more (like Perelman's work)?
2- Would you let me know even one person in history who started or turned to maths at their 30s or late 20s, but did famous works?
Some notes:

*

*My question is not about getting a PhD in late ages or be successful in finding an academic position (including research), although soon or late I have to get a PhD in math as well, especially because of being in math community and other advantages. BTW, works that are not considered breakthrough or even writing books in math for students are as invaluable as e.g. Perelman's work, I believe. Please consider that my questions are not about comparisons.

*There were some people in history who got their academic degrees at old ages but they were 'in' mathematics from theirs youth or even childhood; so examples of these people aren't relevant since by starting math now I mean that I am 30, and I am just starting undergraduate books in maths.

*Physics is not math or even close! For example, I learnt differential forms in general relativity texts but it was just about 10 pages in 430-page physics text. And now I see that almost everything in a simple topology text is new for me.
Thanks to everyone for reading and taking the time for the great responses. Really appreciate it!

A: Must humans never get to do work that would get them a Fields medal, independently of the age at which they started doing math (or anything else)
Using Fields medals as a parameter of anything is simply absurd. Just don't.

A: $1-$ Read here and its linked posts if you're looking for an analytic answer!
$2-$ Alexandre-Théophile Vandermonde started to study mathematics at 35, and began to publish in this field the same year. Eugène Ehrhart started publishing in mathematics in his 40s, and finished his PhD thesis at the age of 60. Marjorie Rice, an amateur mathematician with no formal education in mathematics beyond high school, did not begin studying tessellations until December 1975; as she was born in 1923, this means she was either 51 or 52 when she began, depending on her birthday. She developed her own system of notation and used it to discover three new types of tessellating pentagons and over sixty distinct tessellations by pentagons by 1977. Caspar Wessel published his only mathematics paper at the age of 54. Roger Apéry proved Apéry's theorem at the age of 63. ...

Grand Challenges Scholar Strives for Equity in Water and Sanitation
Elizabeth Griffin CEE '19 is determined to address the critical issue of water and sanitation access
Over the course of her four years at Duke, Elizabeth Griffin took full advantage of the diverse learning opportunities available to her as a student of civil and environmental engineering.
Early on, she discovered a passion for global and service learning, thanks to her participation in Duke Engineers for International Development. She also studied abroad in Australia, conducted air quality research in Bolivia, and attended national and international conferences. She took courses in global development and health disparities in the United States, and worked as a fellow in a product development shop that creates and commercializes health technologies for low-resource settings.
And, she pointed out proudly, she still found plenty of time for Duke basketball.
Griffin is a National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Grand Challenges Scholar, and all of her experiences at Duke were hung on the framework of a single NAE engineering challenge for the 21st Century: providing access to clean water.
The NAE identified 14 of these challenges in 2008, and in 2013 endorsed the Grand Challenges Scholars Program—co-created by Duke, Olin College and the University of Southern California—to prepare undergraduate students to meet them. Through their participation, scholars help improve sustainability, health, security and the joy of living worldwide.
The "Grand Challenges" are exactly that: grand, both in intention and scope, and challenging.
The "Grand Challenges" are exactly that: grand, both in intention and scope, and challenging. Very challenging, in fact. Students who are accepted into the program must complete a portfolio of work showcasing their activities in hands-on research, interdisciplinary learning, entrepreneurship, global experiences, and service-learning in time for graduation. In addition, they must complete an original thesis.
Griffin's thesis mapped human exposure to contaminated groundwater around hog farms in eastern North Carolina. "I shifted from lab-based research to spatial analysis using GIS mapping tools for my thesis," said Griffin. "By making that shift I was able to look at a problem on a much broader scale." She presented her project—which found higher exposures in Hispanic and African-American families than white families, regardless of income—to faculty to earn the Graduation with Departmental Distinction designation. She earned the Eric I. Pas Award, given to a student with the most outstanding independent study project, in the process.
"It's opened up my eyes to broader systemic injustices, especially racial and socioeconomic injustices—not just in the US, but worldwide. I really want to work to address those inequities."
ELIZABETH GRIFFIN CEE '19
Despite her success in the Grand Challenges Scholars Program, she says there were times when she didn't think she would be able to check all the necessary boxes.
"The hardest aspect, for me, was the entrepreneurial side of it," said Griffin. "I'm not business-inclined, so finding opportunities to get entrepreneurial skills was tough for me."
But with support from her classmates and her advisor, CEE Professor of the Practice David Schaad, she not only completed the program but arrived on the other side with a feeling of tremendous accomplishment, and volumes of skills and experiences she might not have otherwise gathered.
"The Grand Challenges program is a really good way to organize your education and all your extracurricular activities," Griffin reflected. "I feel like almost everything I've done, even activities unrelated to my classes, has tied into this portfolio somehow. It's a great way to show people the trajectory of your college experience."
She emphasized that the wide range of experiences also helped her to clarify her own goals and ambitions. Working on a Bass Connections project in Lowndes County, Alabama, where inadequate water infrastructure has triggered a resurgence of hookworm, was particularly illuminating, she said. "It's opened up my eyes to broader systemic injustices, especially racial and socioeconomic injustices—not just in the US, but worldwide. I really want to work to address those inequities."
For those students whose interest in the Grand Challenges Scholars Program is piqued, Griffin wanted to remind them of an additional sweetener.
"You do get up to $5,000 to complete the portfolio," she said. "This is a huge advantage. I wouldn't have been able to complete this portfolio without the funding. It offers opportunities to pursue global learning, service learning, travel, research, conferences. It opens up so many doors."
