The Mainstreaming of Empathy, or How Hannibal Changed My Life
September 9, 2015 •
Hannibal fan art "Savior" courtesy of Fiona Hsieh on DeviantArt.
With an appropriately bloody and dashing full moon finale came the close of three amazing seasons of Bryan Fuller's Hannibal, hands down some of the best television ever made in the history of the medium. I would have no problem writing a book about every visual metaphor, every intentional blink, and peel back each layer of meaning like Hannibal Lecter would certain victims (*cough* Alana Bloom *cough*).
The level of art in Hannibal was and likely will be unsurpassed on television for a long time to come: Oscar-caliber performances, art direction, cinematography, and a new category for food styling would absolutely sweep every awards category. The grotesque deliciousness of Bryan Fuller's unbelievably brilliant and astute adaptation of the well-read Thomas Harris books was beyond our visual translation dreams.
I savored every single frame of Hannibal, often going dizzy from the eye feast because I would forget to breathe, even — and sometimes especially — in the moments of beautiful horror the likes of which I had never in my life experienced in those ways or ever. The Human Honeycomb, the Man Tree, the Bloody Angels, the Mushroom People, the Color Wheel, the Heart Stag, and so much more. So many awfuls wrapped in such beautiful packages: a word does not exist to describe how singularly Hannibal's tableaus resonated through me. Fuller concocted an epic arthouse horror show with such surgical precision that it, in fact, can be summed up in only one word: PERFECTION.
Hannibal was also singular in how much Fuller and Company were inspired by the Fannibal community and integrated fan art into the aesthetic of the show. Bryan Fuller's feminism made Hannibal the first crime, horror, drama show to not feature rape. On so many levels, we'll be marveling at what Fuller and Company accomplished for years to come. And I hope this sets a new standard for television in general.
I'd first read Thomas Harris's Red Dragon when I was around 8 and Silence of the Lambs came shortly after. Red Dragon sparked in me a peculiar love affair and morbid fascination with all things Hannibal Lecter. I've read each of the books multiple times and have the film adaptations of Dragon and Lambs virtually memorized. And while I'd remembered that the Will Graham of Red Dragon was highly sensitive, empathic, and borderline psychic, it wasn't until Bryan Fuller got his hands on the canon that we received the term empath for the "it" that Will Graham is.
You see, all my life people told me that there was something wrong with me because of my hypersensitivity. My family members often "joked" that I should be institutionalized. I heard the phrases "Stop being so sensitive," "You're overreacting," "You're crazy," so much and so often since I was a child I had internalized it to the point where I fundamentally believed they were right.
The very first episode of Hannibal happened to air on April 4, 2013 — synchronicitously my birthday. I watched Apéritif with its new, haunted, and beautifully traumatized iteration of empath FBI profiler Will Graham and saw so much of my own behavior mirrored in Hugh Dancy's gloriously apt performance of a highly sensitive individual in a world of torment. I watched all the replays that night, tears streaming down my face, with one thought repeating over and over: Maybe I'm not crazy after all. Maybe I'm not crazy at all. Maybe I'm not crazy.
I took to Facebook with the query, "Are there people like Will Graham in real life and could I be one of them?" I also plugged "empath" and "empathic personality" into Google. My Facebook friends returned with a handful of articles about the Highly Sensitive Personality and agreed that I sounded like one. Google gave me links to Dr. Elaine Aron, a psychiatrist and researcher who is considered the leading scholar in empathic personality research. I took all the personality tests and more than qualified as a Highly Sensitive Person. I really wasn't crazy.
As it turned out, Dr Aron estimates that 1 in 5 people — roughly 15-20% of the population — are highly sensitive, which was one of so many amazing things I learned as I delved into research on empaths. I wasn't alone. I wasn't even that special. I had just found my tribe. Happy Birthday to me.
Seeing Bryan Fuller's Will Graham and his super-empathy in action, his ability to close his eyes and know things about another's motivations, his unique way of putting together stories about fellow humans, his sad soul and tortured self, was the mirror into my own personality quirks I'd desperately needed and found nowhere, and certainly not in pop culture. I finally understood the breadth of how I'd been getting gaslighted all along.
For the first time in my life I looked inwards and saw that that sensitive part of me others belittled and disparaged was in fact the root of my own power and the source of my own healing, as well as the biggest gift I have to offer the world. I spent days crying after that first episode aired as I read everything I could find about the Highly Sensitive Personality. But this time the crying was good tears, the kind of tears that wash your soul clean of poison. It was my Becoming.
In the days and weeks post-Hannibal's wicked finale of a mic drop a lot of people are going to write about the artfulness of the show, the incredible acting, the awesome production value, and they're also going to begin analyzing the story and character arcs, unpacking all the visual symbolism, all the references that inspired such gruesome wonderfulness. There is so much to unpack you could get a PhD in Hannibal and still not get to it all.
What I want to bring home here is the magnificent social and cultural contribution to humanity Hannibal wrought with its entrance into our lives. Hannibal assisted in the mainstreaming of not just empathy, but also the mainstreaming of the empathic personality and highly sensitive individuals as forces to be reckoned with in our extrovert-heavy world.
Have you noticed how it's only been in the last couple years that once a week there's a new article on virtually every media outlet about the benefits of being highly sensitive and the often-related introvert personality?
Hannibal has become part of a cultural zeitgeist that opened up a conversation about personality types that aren't really ones to toot their own horns. And by bringing the issues and struggles of highly sensitive people to mainstream media, Bryan Fuller and Company allowed for all us sensitive folks not just to join the discussion, but to contribute to it, and learn from it, and begin building our own communities and support groups.
As it turns out, there's no such thing as too sensitive.
I used the term emotional spelunking in my defense of True Detective Season 2, and it applies to Hannibal as well. Hannibal's creators and viewers both participated in the deepest of emotional spelunking in which we found ourselves communing with the darkest and most entrenched monsters of our psyches in efforts to integrate them in our lives instead of fight against them.
Hannibal also beautifully portrayed the sinister side of being so sensitive, how difficult it can be to suffer from powerful intuition, and how easy it is for an empathic personality to lose oneself in other people's darkness. It went into grim detail about how it feels to be gaslighted, used, and manipulated when being highly sensitive. While detailing the struggles of an empathic personality, Hannibal also gave us an opportunity to discuss the empath's foils: the narcissists, the sociopaths, and the psychopaths. On the spectrum of sanity, the highly sensitive are closer to sane than we're usually taught to believe.
In these three years of watching Hannibal I have seen my own inner struggle to accept myself and purge other people's misperceptions of me once again mirrored in Will Graham's enmeshment with Hannibal Lecter. For Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham, the end of their affair was a fait accompli, and all empaths have their version (or several) of Lecter who they need to shake, gaslighting and all. Not everyone is able, but yet that fight becomes part of our greater sense of collective Becoming.
Because the doors to my own self-awareness opened up thanks to Hannibal, these past three years have been the most fulfilling years of my life. I am grounded in a way I never was before, my diaphanous sense of self now has boundaries, and almost most importantly, I am able to help others — and especially other highly sensitive people — do the same. What a relief it's been to at long last know who I am, where my empathic personality fits into this world, and honor both without apology.
Bryan Fuller and Company, from the everything I am I thank you. For the art, the magic, the wonder, the horror, the bloody beauty, and the wisdom you brought through the screen with such thoughtfulness and grace.
I have never been sadder about the demise of beloved art, but I have also never been so grateful for all that you brought into the world.
You made this one broken teacup whole again.

Q: useNavigate from react-router-dom causes error after page render Im new to this website so bear with me.
I'm developing an appointment based website in which I have a login page, a profile page, and a register page. Im trying to implement a programatic redirect to a users profile, I opted to use useNavigation from react-router-dom. I attempted to use the navigate function like the documentation says but it crashes my website after the render. I stepped through my code with my debugger and the correct page does render, however, somewhere after the render, my site goes blank and returns an error im confused by. I've managed to simplify/obfuscate my code aswell in the examples below.
This is the applicable code to my problem. When the page is rendered it will check for a JWT in local storage, it then verifies the JWT in my server and returns data, i expected that if the jwt is verified then the page will redirect to my profile page route. which it does do, but then goes blank.
The profilePage route is currently unprotected for simplicity so i can figure out why useNavigate isn't working.

index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import App from './App';
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
  root.render(
    <React.StrictMode>
      <BrowserRouter>
        <App />
      </BrowserRouter>
    </React.StrictMode>
);

app.js

import Appbar from './appbar.jsx';
import { Route, Routes } from 'react-router-dom';
import Login from "./components/login/login.jsx";
import ProfilePage from "./components/profilePage/profilePage.jsx";

export default function App() {
  return (

        <Appbar/>
      <>
        <Routes>
          <Route path="/" element={<Home /> }/>
          <Route path="/login"/> element={<Login />}/>
          <Route path="/profilePage" element={<ProfilePage />}/>
            </Routes>
      </>

    );
  }

login.jsx

import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
import { useEffect } from 'react';

export default function Login(props) {
  const navigate = useNavigate()
/*
EDIT: I added this here because this was in my original code that got me my original error
*/

  useEffect( async () => {

    // My express route verifying the JWT
      const response = await fetch('/users/userAuth', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'x-access-token': localStorage.getItem('token'),
        },
      })
      const data = await response.json()
      if (data.isLoggedIn === true)
      {
        navigate("/profilePage")
      }
      else {
        console.log("not logged in")
      }

    }, [])

profilePage.jsx
export default function ProfilePage() {

// Keeping it simple until i can get useNavigate to work
    return (

Profile Page

    )
}

This is the error I get:
React Error from useNavigate
EDIT: Thanks for the patience regarding the edits. In an effort to obfuscate I removed the crucial parts of my code. Although im still getting the same error

A: in your code I think you forgot to define navigate
const navigate = useNavigate();

A: I think that the problem is on the async function passed in React.useEffect. You should create the async function inside React.useEffect's setup and then call it.
Have a look here on how to use async functions with React.useEffect

Singer Jenni Rivera Received Death Threats Prior To Her Tragic 2012 Plane Crash
The reason her pilot lost control of the aircraft remains "undetermined."
John Parra/WireImage/Getty Images
Latin superstar Jenni Rivera was at the height of her career when she and six others died in a plane crash on Dec. 9, 2012. Dubbed "La Diva de la Banda," the 43-year-old California native had just performed a concert in Monterrey, Mexico, and was headed to another appearance near Mexico City when her plane went missing about 10 minutes after takeoff. As investigations later concluded, the Learjet nose-dived into a mountainside, but as Peacock's Who Killed Jenni Rivera explores, there are more questions than answers about the still-undetermined cause of the fatal plane crash.
Because the flight recorder was presumably destroyed in the crash and the flight voice recorder was never found, the Mexican Directorate General of Civil Aeronautics's investigation could only attribute the crash to a "loss of control of the aircraft of undetermined reasons." As radar data indicated, the plane fell into a steep dive at approximately 28,000 feet and struck the ground at an 89 degree angle at high speed, per CNN. Investigators ultimately cited a "series of factors" for possible causes of the crash, including the 78-year-old pilot's age and that the 43-year-old Learjet — which previously sustained substantial damage in another crash in 2005 when the pilot lost the ability to steer during landing — had unreported issues. The jet's "high level destruction" did not allow for a conclusive answer as to what caused the accident, though weather conditions and a fire or explosion on the plane were ruled out as possibilities.
As one investigator states in the Who Killed Jenni Rivera trailer, "The missing recorders are so critical to understanding this accident," while another participant cryptically questions how they were able to recover Rivera's driver's license from the crash site near Monterrey but "couldn't find that black box." That leads to an examination of conspiracy theories surrounding Rivera's death, including a possible "cover up" in light of her reported connections to the "dangerous" Mexican cartels that sometimes hired her to perform for them. The plane's insurance paperwork was also signed on behalf of the owner, Starwood Management, by a businessman named Christian Edward Esquino Nunez, who reportedly has a criminal record that includes falsifying airplane records, according to CNN.
According to MySanAntonio, an unnamed witness claimed that Rivera had an argument with Mexican drug cartel kingpin Edgar Valdez Villarreal, aka "La Barbie," shortly before her death, allegedly resulting in a physical altercation. Though that led to speculation of foul play, Mike Vigil, former chief of international operations for the DEA, said that he does not believe Villarreal was involved in the star's death, nor was he the subject of any investigation. The crash, he's convinced, was "quite simply an act of God."
Also fueling speculation was the fact that Rivera received death threats, as she described in an interview with Mexican radio personality Pepe Garza, on July 27, 2012, just months before her fatal plane crash. Garza posted the 35-minute video, titled Jenni Rivera's Goodbye, The Interview Never Published in December 2019. "It's an interview where she reveals many things that are not very clear yet. ... She asked me to interview her because she had received death threats and she wanted to leave a testimony that this was happening in case something happened to her," Garza explained in Spanish, per the Los Angeles Times. "I've let many years go by since Jenni's death, and something in my heart told me this was the year to reveal and share this."
In the interview, Rivera, who was accompanied by her children, Chiquis and Johnny, described the multiple death threats that she received via email, phone calls, and message boards, recounting a specific instance where the FBI got involved because of threats that she'd be kidnapped and killed if she attended a concert in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico. She claimed that she didn't know why someone would want to harm her. "I have no idea, there is nothing illegal in my business," Rivera tells Garza in the clip. "I treat people with a lot of respect. I have no problems with any group or any cartel."
In closing, Rivera sent a final goodbye to her fans, family, and friends. "What I do is so important to me, Pepe, and I'm a very brave and determined woman," she added. "That's why I'm here. Nobody knows. Not even my family knows ... not my friends or companions. And that's how I want it to be because I don't want to scare more people. We don't need more chaos in the world. ... I believe in an almighty God who has carried me forward in many aspects of my life, and I trust that he'll take me out of this, too."

Although not particularly fun to read through the Lord's judgment against the people of the Lord, still it serves as a message to us in the ways that we can return to the Lord. As God's difficulty, we often find ourselves saying NO to God without much thought to the blessings of obedience or the consequences of disobedience. Don't let yourself starve from God's Word.

2018 was a year of organizational restructuring at Condé Nast, followed by a decision to offset the decline in print business by focusing on the growth areas, including on longform video and of course, implementing a paywall at all of the publisher's properties by the end of 2019. Pamela Drucker Mann, Condé Nast CRO, says there are lessons to be learned from Wired, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and other titles.
The publisher is also continuing to focus on video.
On the podcast, Drucker Mann discussed how the subscription plan across all Condé Nast properties in the U.S. will roll out, why Conde is putting its Snapchat efforts on pause and more. Edited highlights below.
Condé Nast is ready for the digital media business.
Condé Nast is saying no to some platforms.
The case for a metered paywall remains strong.
"The metered approach gives you an idea of what your consumer's interests are and the products that will drive sign-ups versus what will not. We haven't had any audience declines across any of our brands [that are behind the paywall.] The metered approach allows you to adjust based on any dips or declines. All three brands have had audience growth during this process. The idea that it's going to fatigue is not necessarily the case. What will happen is that some brands will do better than others. Not all brands are worth paying for. It will change how we evaluate successful brands versus not successful brands.

What to Do If You Get Severely Burned
Posted On January 15, 2018 by John W. Sutton, III.
First aid or treating the wound should be the first thing on your mind when you get burned. Burns are painful, can be more severe than what it may look like on the surface, and can become infected without proper treatment. If you do get burned, follow these basic tips for identifying and treat burns before seeking out medical assistance.
First-Degree Burns
Involving the outer layer of skin, first-degree burns are minor burns that usually cause swelling, redness, and mild pain. These burns can be treated by:
Holding a cold compress against the wound
Applying aloe vera or burn cream to the affected area
Taking an over-the-counter pain medication
If your first-degree burn covers a large majority of your skin, including the buttocks and genitals, seek medical attention immediately.
Second-Degree Burns
More serious than first-degree burns, second-degree burns can cause blistering, pain, and swelling of the burned area. Treatment depends on the size of the burn:
3 inches or less in diameter: Treat as a minor/first-degree burn
If burn covers a large area: Seek medical assistance immediately.
Third-Degree Burns
The most serious of all burn wounds, third-degree burns involve injury to the outer layer of skin, fat, and sometimes muscle and bone. Wounds can be charred black or white. The person would have difficulty breathing, be in extreme pain, and may enter shock. For these burns, seek medical assistance immediately. Do not attempt to treat the individual by yourself.
Burns can happen at work, at home, or even during a car accident. If you've been burned in an accident, contact an experienced injury lawyer today. Pennsylvania and New Jersey personal injury attorney James W. Sutton, III has been successfully protecting the rights of injury victims in our community for over 17 years.

Why Pakistan and India coming down on World Press Freedom Index?
Posted on May 3, 2019 by Web Desk
No one can kill a story by killing a journalist. Many slain journalists often became story of courage and bravery after their murder .Guillermo Cano is one of them. He was a Columbian Journalist who tried to expose the influence of drug mafia on the politics of his country. He was silenced by bullets in front of his newspaper office in 1986.His newspaper refused to bow down and followed the story started by Guillermo Cano. Three years later the office of his newspaper "El Espectador" was destroyed in a bomb attack in Bogota city of Columbia. Even then the story was not killed. United Nations Paris based agency UNESCO started "Guillermo Cano Press Freedom Award" annually in 1997.Every year a brave journalist receive this award on 3rd May (World Press Freedom Day) to continue the story of Guillermo Cano.
This year I was part of an International Jury for the selection of 2019 Guillermo Cano Press Freedom Award.UNESCO received dozens of nominations from different governments and NGOs.It was very difficult for the Jury to decide about the winner because most of the nominees in final list were behind the bars. Finally the Jury decided in favor of two Reuter's reporters Wa Lone and Kya So Oo who are behind the bars in Myanmar for seven years. They had been investigating the killing of Rohingya villagers by state security forces. Myanmar government declared them "traitors" and thrown them behind the bars without a fair trial just because they were following the story of mass murder and gang rapes. Many other journalists are behind the bars in many countries. We ignored imprisoned journalists in the jails of Turkey and Ukraine because their conditions were better than the condition of jails in Myanmar. As a UNESCO jury member I had gone through the details of many imprisoned journalists. I realized Press freedom is declining all over the world. This decline is slow somewhere and very fast in many countries. More than 250 journalists are behind the bars in different countries. Turkey is the biggest jailor where 68 journalists are behind the bars.47 in China and 27 journalists are in jails of Egypt.
It's good to know that India and Pakistan are not among the 12 most worst jailers of journalists but unfortunately both democratic countries are included in the list of those where press freedom is declining. According to New York based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) s Global Impunity Index, India and Pakistan are among 12 countries having worst records of prosecuting the killers of journalists. Brussles based International Federation of Journalists(IFJ) prepared a list of 14 most dangerous countries for media. Iraq is on the top. Pakistan is at number 4 and India at number 7. According to the recent World Press Freedom Index 2019 prepared by Reporters without Borders (RSF) India slipped down at number 140 from number 138 and Pakistan at number 142 from 139 out of 180 countries all over the world. India was at number 138 and Pakistan at 139 in 2018.India declined 2 points and Pakistan lost 3 points in one year. India was at number 140 and Pakistan at number 158 in 2014.
It is a fact that number of journalists killed in India and Pakistan declined in last two years. Then why both countries are losing their position on World Press Freedom Index? According to RSF sources "Yes the number of journalists killings declined but unannounced censorship increased in both India and Pakistan". Media in both countries is a victim of intolerance by state and non-state actors. Recently Editors Guild of India condemned the incidents of abuse and intimidation of senior journalists in the run up of parliamentary election and urged the government to take necessary action against those who are involved in harassment through social media. Editors Guild of India also expressed concerns over the possible use of official secret act against those journalists who wrote investigative stories on Rafale deal.
On the other side, All Pakistan Newspapers Society (APNS) and Council of Pakistan Newspapers Editors (CPNE) released many statements in recent months to condemn the government's move to replace media regulatory bodies with a new authority. Media Regulatory bodies in Pakistan are already in the control of state institutions. Powerful people can switch off any TV channel anywhere in Pakistan without any legal cover. It was also mentioned in a Supreme Court judgement written by Justice Qazi Faiz Essa.Pakistani parliament is failed to make legislation for the protection of journalists since 2011.A proposed draft for journalists protection bill was changed three times in last 8 years and not approved yet.
There is a famous saying that press and the nation rise and fall together. In fact media and democracy also rise and fall together. If India and Pakistan want to rise they must give freedom to the media promised in the constitutions of both countries. Media should not be pressurized to spread fake news in the name of national interest. Fake news cannot protect the sovereignty of any country. Poor journalism will make poor democracy.
Take the example of bombing by Indian Air Force (IAF) in Balakot area of KPK in February 2019.Indian state provided wrong information to media which was disputed by the Indian opposition. This "disinformation" embarrassed IAF.Another example. When Pakistani media broke the story that Prime Minister Imran Khan decided to change his Finance Minister Asad Umar then Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry contradicted that story in very strong words. We were told he issued contradiction on the instructions of PM.Even then many journalists including myself stood by our story. We insisted PM will change his Finance Minister. Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) issued show because notices to some TV channels for spreading fake news but within few days both Asad Umar and Fawad Chaudhry were replaced.Credebility of media increased but reputation of government badly damaged and that's why many governments don't like media freedom.
No democratic government can survive by fighting media. If an anti-media government survives then democracy will ultimately die. Decline in media freedom will ultimately result in the deterioration of democratic values and weakening of democracy will strengthen the hands of extremists and terrorists. Today the biggest allegation used against media by state and non-state actors is "fake news".In fact many journalists,TV channels and newspapers are victims of "fake news"because some interest groups have used fake social media accounts against regular media. Media must fight fake news to protect its freedom. The biggest strength of free media is the public support. No doubt that public always extend support for credible journalists and media houses. We must save our credibility by defeating fake news.US President Donald Trump tried to tarnish the credibility of media by repeating his narrative of "fake news media". He made more than a thousand tweets against media since 2015. Washington Post Executive Editor Marty Baron declared Trump as a biggest threat to media freedom in US. Media outlets like Washington Post, New York Times and CNN are still surviving due to public support. Media can only protect its freedom by protecting its credibility. Fake news is the biggest enemy of media freedom today. We need to defeat fake news to honor the story of brave journalist Guillermo Cano who sacrificed his life in the line of duty like Daniel Pearl,Hayatullah Khan,Salim Shehzad,Gauri Lankesh,Shujaat Bukhari, Jamal Khashoggi and many others.No one can kill their stories.

Forever the Sickest Kids sind eine US-amerikanische Pop-Punk-Band aus Dallas.

Geschichte
Die Band gründete sich 2006 aus den Mitgliedern zweier aufgelöster Bands aus Dallas, Ben Bradley und Flipside. Sie erkauften sie sich einen Platz auf der Einstiegsseite der Internet-Musikplattform PureVolume, ohne überhaupt eine passende Aufnahme zu haben. Mit dem kurzfristig eingespielten Song Hey Brittany kamen sie aber so tatsächlich zu einem Plattenvertrag mit Universal Motown.

Einer ersten EP-Veröffentlichung und Tourauftritten in zahlreichen US-Staaten folgte 2008 der Debüt-Longplayer Underdog Alma Mater, das sie auf Anhieb unter die Top 50 der US-Albumcharts und die Top 10 der Alternative-Charts brachte. Weitere Touren folgten.

Ende 2009 wollten sie eine EP-Trilogie veröffentlichen, The Weekend: Friday erschien auch noch am Jahresende und war auch in den Charts erfolgreich, aus "Saturday" und "Sunday" wurde dann jedoch ein zweites vollständiges Album. Es trägt den Bandnamen und übertraf nach Veröffentlichung im März 2011 den Erfolg des Debütalbums.
Am 25. Juni 2013 folgte das 3. Studio-Album J.A.C.K, welches zum ersten Mal unter dem neuen Label Fearless Records veröffentlicht wurde, nachdem Universal Motown geschlossen wurde.
Die Songtexte des Albums befassen sich mit Beziehungen, das Erwachsenwerden, der Besinnung, die Wichtigkeit und der Wert von Freundschaft, amerikanischen Stereotypen und dem Selbstwertgefühl.

Q: "None so far" is this grammatically correct? A: do you have any questions?
B: None so far.
Is "none so far" a strange English and was it correct to use it in the dialogue above?.I was told by a native speaker that it is strange to use it this way in the dialogue.

A: Yes, it's perfectly normal.  Granted, it's succinct and to the point, which is fine.  Made longer, though not necessarily better, it means

"I have not one question so far."

Other options include

*

*"I have no questions thus far."

*"Questions?  No, none so far."

*"I have none--yet."

*"At this point, I have no questions."

*"Not yet."

*(in Yoda-speak):  "Of questions, I have none."

EXIF – Recherche & Analyse ist eine seit 2017 aktive Rechercheplattform. Die Plattform bezeichnet sich selbst als antifaschistisch. EXIF befasst sich mit der neonazistischen und rechtsextremen Szene. Hierzu veröffentlicht die Plattform sowohl Kurzmeldungen als auch umfassende Hintergrundberichte und Fotos. Die Betreiber der Seite gehen anonym vor.

Name
Der Name ist von Exchangeable Image File Format, kurz EXIF, abgeleitet. Er steht laut der Betreiber-Website für "Informationen hinter Bildern".

Aktivitäten
Im Sommer 2018 veröffentlichte das Portal den aktuell umfassendsten Bericht zu Combat 18 in Deutschland, auf dem später auch ein Teil der Recherche von STRG F basierte und der vor dem Verbot von Combat 18 in Deutschland im Januar 2020 bereits dessen Gefährlichkeit aufzeigte. Nach den Ergebnissen von EXIF war die Gruppierung mit etwa 50 Personen größer, als es die Verbotsbeschreibung mit 20 Personen annimmt. Die Rolle von Thorsten Heise, der zum Unterstützerumfeld des NSU gezählt wird, war ebenso Teil der Nachforschungen. Auch zum österreichischen Ableger von Combat 18 veröffentlichte EXIF Recherche-Ergebnisse.

Verbindungen vom mutmaßlichen Mörder von Walter Lübcke, Stephan Ernst, zu Combat 18 wurden durch Recherchen von EXIF zugänglich und weitere Untersuchungen durch andere Medien angestoßen.

Wie die Mitarbeiter von Exif die teilweise internen Informationen recherchiert haben, legen sie nicht offen. Laut dem Nachrichtenportal Watson haben sie sie zum Teil mit Originaldateien und dem Wortlaut interner E-Mails belegt. Viele der Angaben wurden von den Reportern des NDR unabhängig überprüft.

Im Jahr 2021 veröffentlichte das Portal Rechercheergebnisse zu den Hammerskins. Zwei Mitarbeiter der Stadt Bochum, die Teil des Netzwerks sind, wurden daraufhin gekündigt.

Rezeption
Informationen aus den Recherchen von EXIF werden von Medien sowie in Fachliteratur und -artikeln zum Thema Rechtsextremismus verwendet und zitiert.

Nach Ansicht von Matthias Dell (Deutschlandfunk) werde diese journalistische Arbeit zu selten von anderen Medien oder der Gesellschaft gewürdigt. Über die Combat-18-Recherche von EXIF befand er: "Geschrieben sind diese Texte in großer Nüchternheit. Sie bilden die Wirklichkeit nicht ab durch schicke szenische Dramatisierungen, mit denen man sich für Journalistenpreise in Schale wirft. Vielmehr leben sie von Aufzählungen und Verknüpfungen – wer wann mit wem wo was gemacht hat."

Ricarda Breyton (Die Welt) kritisierte, die EXIF-Autoren würden "im Schutz der Anonymität journalistische Mindeststandards über Bord [werfen]. Die im Pressekodex festgeschriebenen Selbstverpflichtungen seriöser Journalisten (Sorgfalt, Schutz der Ehre, Unschuldsvermutung) scheinen im Netz nicht zu gelten."

Utah Blossom Engagements are one of my favorite things, but these two! I was lucky enough to take a few pictures for their first year anniversary in Japan. It was so beautiful, and we took full advantage of all the blooms. I'm so glad we were able to take them. This couple is some of the nicest people I have ever met. We stayed with them in Tokyo, and they showed us all the right things to eat and took us on a tour of the city. I love being a Utah Wedding Photographer because it gives me a chance to meet such kind and incredible people.
One of my favorite things to photograph with a bride and groom, is definitely flowers. It's so pretty! I so wish we could get all these kinds of blossoms in Utah. I would die! It's so important to consider the kind of background you may want for your engagement photos, and in my opinion, you should take consideration for the best spots for that time of season. Only shoot in the mountains if it's the kind of look you want, but if it's dead up there, an open, luscious, green field will look worlds better. I have found that light is the most important aspect when taking photos. So trust your photographer, go where their is amazing light, and you will not regret it! It will make the photos dreamy, romantic, and full of good energy.
But…if you end up on a cloudy day, don't be too sad! The light will still be pretty good, but you will be able to shoot in a direction you normally wouldn't when the sun is out. So a cloudy day actually might work in your favor for a really unique spot. Let me know if you have any questions about engagements in the comments, or want to take some Utah blossom engagements! I'd love to take your engagements!

Chronicling his stays in India from 1958—1962 and 1972—1973, Swami Kriyananda shares inspiration from his visits to many saints, including Anandamayee Ma, Yogi Ramiah (Sri Rama Yogi), Swami Muktananda, Swami Narayan, and Sathya Sai Baba.
As a swami steeped in their spiritual heritage but coming from the West, Swamiji offers unique glimpses into Indian society and culture, ashram living, the devotee-guru relationship, and the daily experience of high souls. This he does through insightful letters, lovingly selected to be shared once more.
Like the visits to saints described by his friend Devi Mukherjee in Shaped by Saints, but with delightful variations, Swamiji's story is a spiritual journey, indeed a deeply personal pilgrimage. "Yet," as he explains, "it has become a journey and a pilgrimage also for increasing numbers of truth-seekers today." Through it, the reader will find a closer connection with India and its holy ones.
How fitting that he has returned to India to make it his home neat the end of his own life's journey.
Swami Kriyananda is one f the chief direct disciples of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. After living with the great master during the last years of his life, Swamiji travelled and taught in India. He is the founder of Ananda Sangha, a worldwide organization that disseminates Yogananda's teachings and practices. Ananda includes eight cooperative spiritual communities with over 1,000 members in the USA, Europe—and now India. Swamiji has written some 90 b00k5 translated into neatly 30 languages and composed over 400 pieces of music.
India is going through a period of transition, necessary for it as one of the great cultures of this world. She needs, for now, to reclaim her rightful place as a leader among nations. When I first went there, in 1958, there were still true saints to be found. I lived there, in all, nearly four years, with a six months hiatus in America and Europe in 1960. I returned, briefly, in 1972. Since then I came back several times as a visitor. Then in 2003 I came once more, to live and complete my Guru's work in this country. Over the course of these nearly fifty years, I have seen many changes. Not all of them are pleasing for one whose life is dedicated to seeking God. But I see that they are necessary. And I believe the sacred vibrations of India will rise triumphant, at last, over the mists of materialism that now swirl like brume upon the earth here.
During my first visit I had the privilege to meet many saints and holy people. On my later visit in 1972 I met fewer. During the past four years I have met fewer yet. I am doing what I can to bring India material prosperity as well as spiritual affluence. As I introduce my Guru's concept of "World Brotherhood Colonies," which by now I have well established in the West, I hope in time to cover the country with little communities where devotees live, work for God, raise families if that is their desire, and educate their children—all in a Godly way. The system has been proved by forty years of success.
There are now about 1,000 people living in thriving Ananda Communities in America and in Italy. May the following pages help to inspire people with a return to the spiritual living of India's ancient, Vedic times! For this is, indeed, the spirit of our Ananda communities in the West, and recognized as such by saints as well as by ordinary visitors to them from India.
During my visits to saints during my first period in India, I wrote many letters about them to my brother and sister disciples in America. Most of those letters have been lost, or are now inaccessible. Those visits included several saints. One was an old yogi, 132 years in age, whom I met in Pun. I met several saints at the Kumbha Mela in Allahabad in 1960, among whom were Deohara Baba (aged 144 years, who told me he had known Lahiri Mahasaya); Kara Patri (mentioned in Autobiography of a Yogi); Hansa Maharaj, 122 years of age, who announced that he would leave his body in April of that year (in &ct, he did so); and several other saints whose names I have forgotten. I met, in New Delhi, a young woman who at the age of nine had announced to her parents that she was going into seclusion, and for them please not to disturb her, but to leave meals for her outside her door. From then on, she had eaten little, but had spent her time in prayer and meditation. Her only communication was by letter. When her &mily left notes outside her door requesting prayers for people, she would pray, and at least in most cases those prayers were granted.
Her father was chronically ill. Prayers for his healing, however, were not accepted. She answered by note, "Prayers will not help him." At last her mother complained to her that she was showing a sort of reverse prejudice in not healing him, "Just because he is your father." The girl, then, had to agree to pray, but she said, "You will see what the outcome will be." She healed her father, but soon after that he began living a dissolute life. His illness had prevented that karma from coming out. She had wanted him to expiate the karma hilly, hut now he would have to go through it, and, later on, pay the lull consequences.
I met her when she was nineteen. She still had the body of a young girl. She almost never came out of her room, but she came out for me, and meditated with me for a time. Very soon afterward, she was seen weeping before her image of Krishna. The next day, she was dead.
I met also Bhupendranath Sanyal, or Sanyal Mahasaya, the oldest living disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya. This was at his ashram outside of Pun. It was a hallowed meeting, filled with mutual divine love. I spent time at Gowardhan Math in Purl with Bharati Krishna Tirth, the Shankaracharya of that same Math. I had prepared his lecture tour in America in 1957 or '58.
I found India less blessed with saints during my 1972 visit. And for these last four years, I have met very few. Those blessed days will come again, however. I am sure of it. And I pray that my labors in this country will help significantly to speed their coming.

Q: Multilevel Menu using Knockout JS and Bootstrap I am trying to make a multilevel menu using Knockout JS and Bootstrap, but I'm not sure how.
Here's what I have so far:

var Person = function (name, children) {
    this.name = ko.observable(name);
    this.children = ko.observableArray(children || []);
};

var PeopleModel = function () {
    this.people = ko.observableArray([
        new Person("Bob", [
            new Person("Jan"),
            new Person("Don", [
                new Person("Ted"),
                new Person("Ben", [
                    new Person("Joe", [
                        new Person("Ali"),

A: Thank you @Roy J, I used the css link you posted.
Here's how I solved it:

var Person = function (name, children, rootItems) {
        this.name = ko.observable(name);
        this.children = ko.observableArray(children || []);
        this.rootItems = ko.observable(rootItems || false);
    };

    var PeopleModel = function () {
        this.people = ko.observableArray([
            new Person("Bob", [
                new Person("Jan"),
                new Person("Don", [
                    new Person("Ted"),
                    new Person("Ben", [
                        new Person("Joe", [
                            new Person("Ali"),
                            new Person("Ken")
                        ])
                    ]),
                    new Person("Doug")
                ])
            ], true),
            new Person("Ann", [
                new Person("Eve"),
                new Person("Hal")
            ], true)
        ]);

        this.addChild = function (name, parentArray) {
            parentArray.push(new Person(name));
        };
    };

$(function () {
    ko.applyBindings(new PeopleModel());
});
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">

A: Partial answer:
You have a text binding on the anchor that is supposed to have a caret inside it. The text binding will overwrite all contents, which is why you get no caret. Instead:
     0"
       data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">

My fiddle.
I still don't get submenus, but the caret does indicate that the HTML knows about Don's children. This example might help.
Officially, it looks like submenus are unsupported in Bootstrap 3.

Q: Memory management & viewDidUnload? If I have a viewController setup as below:
@interface MapViewController : UIViewController <MKMapViewDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate> {
    CLLocationManager *locationManager;
}

-(void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
}

when it comes to memory management should I be adding release to both viewDidUnload & dealloc?
-(void)viewDidUnload {
    [locationManager release];
    locationManager = nil;
    [super viewDidUnload];
}

-(void)dealloc {
    [locationManager release];
    [super dealloc];
}

cheers Gary
EDIT:
[super dealloc] moved to bottom as per Deans kind comment.

A: Short answer :
Unless you are creating/retaining it in viewDidLoad (or a xib), don't release it in viewDidUnload.
Long answer :
viewDidUnload is used to release anything that you might have made when the view is created - this included things in viewDidLoad but also includes and IBOutlet properties that are created from inside a xib file. these should all be released and set to nil in viewDidUnload.
Anything else should just be released in dealloc.
The idea is that if viewDidUnload is called to free some memory, the view can be recreated again completely from your viewDidLoad method.

A: In viewDidUnload you should be setting your IBOutlet properties to nil and anything that is initialized in viewDidLoad.
Remember that if the phone is low on memory, your view will be unloaded if it isn't on-screen. Next time your view is loaded again, new views will be connected to the IBOutlets and viewDidLoad will be called again. So you should set the outlet properties to nil in viewDidUnload to reduce the memory footprint.

A: The guy is doing a [object release] before doing the self.object = nil;
Is the first release for nothing ? In the Apple documentation, they simply affect nil to the variable... what is right?

Perspective: Evaluating pay-for-performance in medicaid through real-world observation
Jon B. Christianson
Health services researchers use a variety of methods to answer questions surrounding the use of incentives for quality. The current work by Suzanne Felt-Lisk and colleagues suffers from some limitations that may be inherent to many kinds of research, but it also overcomes a number of limitations and offers important insights into why some pay-for-performance (P4P) efforts are more successful than others. The work contributes to Medicaid payment policy and to the P4P literature more generally. In the future, it will be important for researchers to build on "exploratory" observational studies like those of Felt-Lisk and colleagues' study and others by testing explicit "behavioral models" of individual physician or physician practice responses to P4P.

Phil Mickelson regrets airing opinion on taxes; Tiger Woods weighs in
Mickelson had made news last weekend by suggesting he was considering moving due to California's high state income tax rates.

SAN DIEGO (AP) – Phil Mickelson says he should have kept his opinions on taxes to himself.
Mickelson had suggested "drastic changes'' were in store for him – perhaps moving from his native California – because of changes in federal and state taxes that he says tap into more than 60 percent of his income. He said it "absolutely'' was a factor in deciding against becoming part of the San Diego Padres' new ownership group.
The four-time major champion didn't back away from his outlook, only his decision to talk about it.

"Finances and taxes are a personal matter, and I should not have made my opinions on them public,'' Mickelson said in a statement released late Monday night. "I apologize to those I have upset or insulted, and assure you I intend to not let it happen again.''
Mickelson first made a cryptic reference to "what's gone on the last few months politically'' during a conference call two weeks ago for the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. After his final round Sunday of the Humana Challenge, he was asked what he meant.
"There are going to be some drastic changes for me because I happen to be in that zone that has been targeted both federally and by the state, and it doesn't work for me right now,'' he said. "So I'm going to have to make some changes.''
Mickelson had said he would wait until his news conference Wednesday at Torrey Pines to elaborate.
"I know I have my usual pre-tournament press conference scheduled this week but I felt I needed to address the comments I made following the Humana Challenge now,'' Mickelson said in his statement. "I absolutely love what I do. I love and appreciate the game of golf and the people who surround it. I'm as motivated as I've ever been to work on my game, to compete and to win championships.
"Right now, I'm like many Americans who are trying to understand the new tax laws. I've been learning a lot over the last few months and talking with people who are trying to help me make intelligent and informed decisions. I certainly don't have a definitive plan at this time, but like everyone else I want to make decisions that are best for my future and my family.''
The response to Mickelson's opinions on taxes ranged from mocking a guy who has become a multi-millionaire by playing golf for a living to support for having such a high tax rate and not being afraid to speak his mind. A majority of PGA Tour players live in Florida and others in Texas, two states that have no state income tax.

Tiger Woods grew up in Southern California and moved to Florida when he turned pro in 1996.
"I moved out of here back in `96 for that reason,'' Woods said.
"I enjoy Florida, but also I understand what he was – I think – trying to say,'' Woods said of the Mickelson comments. "I think he'll probably explain it better and in a little more detail.''
Mickelson is still scheduled to have his pre-tournament news conference Wednesday.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry even weighed in with this tweet: "Hey Phil….Texas is home to liberty and low taxes…we would love to have you as well!!''
Players at the Farmers Insurance Open privately questioned what Mickelson had to gain by complaining about his taxes.
Mickelson has earned just under $70 million in PGA Tour earnings for his career, which doesn't include corporate endorsements or his golf course design company, which is thriving in China. Forbes magazine reported Mickelson earned over $40 million in endorsements last year, trailing only Tiger Woods among golfers.
Mickelson was raised in San Diego and, after playing golf at Arizona State, settled in the Phoenix area when he started his career before moving back home, about 20 miles north in Rancho Santa Fe.
In November, California voters approved Proposition 30, the first statewide tax increase since 2004.
"If you add up all the federal and you look at the disability and the unemployment and the Social Security and the state, my tax rate is 62, 63 percent,'' Mickelson had said. "So I've got to make some decisions on what I'm going to do.''

Minor League Baseball announced Monday that Dayton Dragons outfielder Jose Siri is the recipient of its Midwest League Player of the Month Award for July.
Here is what MiLB wrote about Siri in its press release announcing each league's player of the month:
Dayton Dragons (Reds) outfielder Jose Siri led the Midwest League in hits (43), home runs (10), slugging (.680), extra-base hits (19) and total bases (85). Siri hit safely in all 28 games in July as part of his Midwest League record 39-game hitting streak, and posted 11 multi-hit games. His 85 total bases led the league by 22. Siri, 22, was signed by Cincinnati as a non-drafted free agent out of Sabana Grande de Boya, Dominican Republic, in 2013.
Siri's hitting streak recently came to an end against the Great Lakes Loons. Before Friday, the Reds prospect had hit safely in every Dragons game in the second half of the season. He still has an active 45-game on-base streak.
Siri currently leads the Midwest League in total bases (211) and stolen bases (30); ranks second in hits (118); is tied for second in home runs (19); ranks third in runs (69) and slugging percentage (.525); is tied for fifth in triples (8); ranks ninth in batting average (.294); and is tied for ninth in runs batted in (58).

Listening to music is natural for almost every one of us, but when it comes to composing music, only a small fraction of the population has attempts to do so. Why such a gap? Perhaps because music composition has always been considered as a complex and time-consuming process which requires both theoretical knowledge and years of practice. Having to start from a blank page can be frightening and discourage many potential creators.
During the creative process, loneliness can be counterproductive: receiving feedbacks and feelings from external sources is highly valuable, somewhat reassuring and often leads to the emergence of novel ideas. Furthermore, some tasks can be so lengthy that they insidiously make even the more talented musicians stay within their domain of expertise. At Sony CSL, we think that in every one of us there is creativity, talent and personal experiences deserving to be expressed. Thus, if our expression is only restricted by technical difficulties, why don't we simply remove these barriers?
This project consists in building a musical assistant for everyone which is able to guide, advise and dialogue with creators. We are building a whole suite of modular tools aimed at covering the whole spectrum of music production, from symbolic music composition (scores) to interactive sound design. Since interaction with a creator is at the core of this project, we work hand-in-hand with artists and devise dedicated user interfaces able to demonstrate our latest advances in A.I. research.
We hope that in the near future these tools will help musicians explore still unthinkable musical horizons and play a fundamental role in the evolution of music production as we know it.

San Bernardino, CA – 2 Elderly Men Killed in Crash at Kendall Dr & Lakewood Dr
POSTED IN News ON December 07, 2019 - by Robert May
San Bernardino, CA (December 6, 2019) – Two elderly men were killed in a motor vehicle accident that took place at the intersection of Kendall and Lakewood Drives in San Bernardino. The crash happened at around 12:23 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, December 5th.
The number of vehicles involved was not reported but the two victims were riding in the same car when they crashed at the intersection. Paramedics were dispatched to the scene where they pronounced the driver of the vehicle, identified as David Wesley, 86, of San Bernardino, deceased.
One passenger, identified as Christopher Robinson, 72, also of San Bernardino, was taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center with severe injuries. Robinson later succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
The accident remains under investigation.
We would like to offer our condolences to the families of both David Wesley and Christopher Robinson at this time.

Until a few years ago, marketing was a monologue. Marketers invested time, talent and money to broadcast messages designed to correspond with each stage of a theoretical buying cycle: awareness, research, consideration, testing, negotiation and transaction. The past two years have witnessed the first examples of true two-way marketing "conversations" between customers and some of the world's leading consumer brands. Driven by a confluence of innovation, competition and big shifts in consumer behaviour, the dialogue between brands and their customers is replacing the traditional marketing monologue.
Chief marketing officers (CMOs) will need to rethink four basic elements of their work–branding, integration, measurement and accountability, and internal organisation–in order to conduct online and offline marketing activities that are relevant, measurable, and accountable to the C-suite in terms it understands, such as top-line growth and speed to market.
In the area of branding, the survey and in-depth interviews with senior marketers reveal that online marketing enables marketers to create interactive brand experiences that also contain a path to action for the consumer. The result is that online branding has the potential to become the central marketing expression for organisations.
The Internet blurs the line separating creative media and media planning/buying functions, offering marketing executives new scope to integrate these activities. Online tools, especially search engines, help marketers combine two important elements for truly integrated marketing: intelligence into customer thinking and intentions generated by other media.
Marketers are dissatisfied with their current ability to measure results of marketing campaigns, both offline and online. The ability to measure results will improve, however, given that CEOs are requiring direct evidence of a return for marketing investment. Return on investment (ROI) is accountability by another name and a burning concern of CMOs.
As the role of marketing expands to affect other corporate activities such as joint ventures, alliances and even product development, top marketers recognise a need to create new incentive structures in order to prepare their internal organisations for the increased level of accountability.

[Review] Hwasa's "Twit" solo debut keeps it simple, feels limiting
TheBiasList 02/14/2019	Editorials, K-Entertainment, Reviews Leave A Comment
A solo debut from Mamamoo's Hwasa almost felt overdue. Though each of the girls possess the necessary charisma to drive a solo career, Hwasa's always struck me as the member most poised for a potential breakout. She's been beefing up her variety show resume lately as well, and as debut tracks go, the amusingly titled "Twit" is a solid showcase for her rap-meets-vocal talents, even if it's a relatively low-key effort.
"Twit" is the kind of song that tends to do well on the charts. It's not robust or daring enough to divide opinion, and its catchy hook has a way of ingratiating itself very quickly. And really, everything about "Twit" is designed to support that chirpy refrain. The song lays out its intentions immediately, opening with the synth riff that will eventually become its oft-repeated core. It's a breezy, descending melody that uses simplicity to its advantage, casting a throwaway kind of charm that's effortlessly cool.
In between these hooks, Hwasa is given a chance to display her magnetic personality, rapping and singing in equal measure. It all feels a bit freeform at times, but there are moments of inspiration. I love when the melody slows down, surging over distorted guitar or commanding brass. "Twit" could have used more of this experimentation. Its dynamic bridge is testament to that, as the repetitive instrumental takes a backseat to Hwasa's imposing vocal. Moments like these make her an interesting talent to watch. I feel like we'll be hearing even better things from her in the future.

Hungarian Government's Spectacular Phase of Attacks Against Academia
by Zsolt Enyedi

In modern societies, academic freedom is typically treated as a sacred cow. Up until recently, even semi-authoritarian regimes hesitated to close down universities, define the terminology of academic degrees along ideological lines, conduct smear campaigns against researchers because of their topics of interest, or censor the schedule of academic conferences. In such regimes, academia used to function as a refuge for intellectuals who could justify their status with the standard qualifications of science even if they disagreed with the government.
Not any longer. These taboos are broken one after another on the periphery of Europe, in countries such as Turkey and E.U. member Hungary. On the Hungarian front, the very latest development is that a number of researchers were asked to withdraw their presentation at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences because of the "political aspects of the topic."
The list of affected presentations included "the legal aspects of social media" and "the success of men and women in information technology based on Big Data." The story of the latter case is particularly telling. The researchers changed the title of their original paper ("Gendered behavior as a disadvantage in open source software development") to avoid provoking Prime Minister Viktor Orban's regime by using the word "gender." The self-censorship did not help, as the Academy officials sensed danger and moved the presentation away from the main program to an off-site event. The term "gender" recently became an anathema for the ruling populist, right-wing Fidesz party.
In August, the Fidesz-government initiated the discontinuation of Master degrees in gender studies. While Orban's administration claims the ban should be introduced because employers are not interested in graduates from the subject, critics say that the boycott is part of the administration's "culture war" against liberal targets. There has not been made a final decision on the matter yet, but the proposal is worrying.
Attacking Academia
The spectacular phase of the attacks against academia started with the so-called "Lex CEU" in 2017. This amendment of the higher education law complicated the survival of foreign universities as their existence is now conditional to the decision of the government. The regulation passed the Hungarian parliament in April and sets stricter rules for the granting of licenses to foreign-based universities. Many accuse the government of designing the law to shut down the Budapest-based Central European University (CEU), that was founded in 1991 by George Soros to help facilitate the transition from dictatorship to democracy in Central Europe.

In line with the law, the CEU license of operation can be withdrawn on January 1, 2019, if the government fails to sign an international treaty with the State of New York. According to the 2017 amendment, universities from outside Europe can teach in Hungary only if their operation is supported by an agreement between their home government and the Hungarian government.
Initially, the Hungarian officials indicated that they are ready to conclude such a treaty with the Governor of New York. The negotiations lasted until the fall of 2017 and resulted in a mutually agreed draft. But since then the Hungarian government keeps postponing the signature. It is increasingly likely that the negotiations may have been a sham.
The university does not face an existential threat since many countries, most importantly Austria, are happy to welcome the educational institution on their soil. But Hungarian academia will suffer damages. Out of the 17 European Research Council grants in Social Sciences and Humanities won by Hungarian institutions, 15 are hosted by the CEU, as well as the only Synergy grant of Central Eastern Europe.
Threat to CEU is Threat to Rule of Law
More importantly, the threat to CEU is a threat to the vestiges of the rule of law. The university turned to the Ombudsman because of the discriminatory nature of the new regulations, but the public advocate refused to take the case arguing that the Constitutional Court is already involved. But the Constitutional Court also declared that it could not examine the constitutionality of the government's actions because the case is in front of the European Court of Justice. Since the survival of these Hungarian "independent" agencies, just as the survival of the Academy of Sciences, is hanging by a thread, and all office-holders owe their office to the ruling party, actual legal assistance is unlikely to materialize.
The government officials don't respond to the repeated calls of the university to sit down and sort out the differences, and the Western pressure seems to be ineffective. The Central European University can only hope that the Hungarian Prime Minister will follow the example of the Russian President. Vladimir Putin recently restored the license of teaching of the European University in Saint Petersburg. In many areas, especially in the regulations of NGOs and the mass media, Orban copies Putin's ideas and measures. It would be a shame if he missed this one.

This is a demo of a project to make a new finding aid and reference work about the British Civil Wars. Most users should be able to find most of what they need from search suggestions in the search box in the sidebar on the left of the page and following links.
Some things to remember about search suggestions:
they only match the start of a page name.
they now have case folding and accent folding, which means you can type lower case ASCII characters into the search box and the suggestions will also match upper case and accented characters. For example, if you type 'sir fon' it will match 'Sir Fôn'.
surnames usually come first in page names for people and military units.
place names usually replace hyphens with spaces, eg 'Stratford upon Avon', not 'Stratford-upon-Avon'. But this does not apply to Scottish counties.
some suggestions are redirects. This means they are alternate names for a page, and if you follow the link it will forward you to the correct page and tell you that you have been redirected.
there are redirects for some Welsh, Gaelic and Scots place names, but these are not complete.

BANGALORE: Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today asserted that every attempt at infiltration along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir from across the border would be thwarted.
"I am here as Raksha Mantri to take care of our borders to stop infiltration. I will keep doing that irrespective of what is happening there (in Pakistan). Our stand remains the same. Every attempt of infiltration will be thwarted," she said.
Sitharaman was responding to a query on infiltration bids after the recent elections in Pakistan in which Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf emerged as the single largest party with the cricketer-turned-politician set to take over as prime minister.
About Congress president Rahul Gandhi's statement that External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had "buckled and prostrated herself in front of Chinese power" on the Doklam issue, she said Swaraj had comprehensively answered it in Parliament, and there was no point in repeating it.
Sitharaman said she stands by the statement of Swaraj, who had told Parliament that the India-China face-off over Doklam was resolved through "diplomatic maturity without losing any ground" and status quo has been maintained.
Gandhi had earlier tweeted, "Amazing how a lady like Sushma ji has buckled and prostrated herself in front of Chinese power. Absolute subservience to the leader means our brave jawan has been betrayed on the border."
He had also tagged a media report on a US Congresswoman claiming China has "quietly resumed" its activities in the Doklam area and asserting that neither Bhutan nor India sought to dissuade it.
The claim, however, was denied by New Delhi.
Asked about the "update" on India's move to procure S-400 Triumf air defence missile systems from Russia for the Indian Air Force and if it was pending because of the US issue, she said, "Well, update on 2+2 dialogue is that it is happening on September 6 in New Delhi."
The US State Department had recently announced that the inaugural 'two-plus-two dialogue' between India and the US would be held on September 6 in New Delhi.
The US had postponed the much-awaited dialogue citing "unavoidable reasons".
The announcement of the 'two-plus-two dialogue' comes amid prospects of India being imposed with unintended sanctions that are targeted at Iran and Russia.
Asked about reports that the venue of Aero India Show, which has traditionally been happening in Bangalore, may be shifted to Lucknow, she said her ministry has not made any announcements.
"Well, there are no announcements made yet by the ministry of defence as regards AeroIndia Show," Sitharaman said but cited examples of similar events happening elsewhere instead of the traditional venues.
"People in many places have been asking for that (AeroIndia Show) like the way in which the defence expo (happened)...more than 10 editions have taken place only in Delhi. We once moved to Goa.
"This time it was moved to Tamil Nadu. There are cities asking for it. So, we have not made any announcement as yet but sooner we will have an announcement," she said.
She, however, said announcement should be within a reasonable time so that participants can reach the venue well in time.
Sitharaman declined to answer a query whether Hindustan Aeronautical Limited would suffer due to the Rafael aircraft deal, saying Parliament was in progress.
