Latham, John (1740–1837)
by J. H. Calaby
John Latham (1740-1837), ornithologist, was born on 27 June 1740 at Eltham, Kent, England, son of John Latham, a surgeon. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School, studied anatomy under the radical surgeon John Hunter, and after completing his medical education at London hospitals practised medicine for many years at Dartford. After acquiring a considerable fortune he retired from practice in 1796 and settled at Romsey, Hampshire. In 1775 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society and in 1796 received the degree of M.D. at Erlangen (Germany). He took a leading part in the formation of the Linnean Society of London in 1788. He was twice married, in 1763 and 1798. He died on 4 February 1837.
From early in life natural history and particularly birds were Latham's major interests and he became the leading English ornithologist of his day. The chief results of his studies were published in three works: A General Synopsis of Birds, 1-3, 1781-85, with supplements in 1787 and 1801; Index Ornithologicus, Sive Systema Ornithologiae … 1-2, 1790, with supplement in 1801; A General History of Birds, 1-10, 1821-28. The illustrations were designed, etched and coloured by Latham himself. Apart from his major works he published papers in the transactions of learned societies, and contributed the descriptions of birds in The Voyage of Governor Phillip to Botany Bay … 1789.
The period of Latham's ornithological work coincided with James Cook's voyages and the first years of colonization of eastern Australia, and as a result a large number of Australian birds were included in his books. He was a friend and correspondent of all the important English naturalists and collectors and thus was able to examine practically all specimens and drawings of birds which reached England. He was particularly interested in drawings and made copies of those which he borrowed. Sir Joseph Banks lent him the drawings made by artists on all Cook's voyages. A particularly important source of illustrations of Australian birds was the 'Lambert drawings' which he borrowed from Aylmer Bourke Lambert who apparently acquired them from Surgeon-General John White. A considerable number of these appear to be copies of some of the 'Watling drawings', the work of Thomas Watling and other artists in the infant settlement at Port Jackson. Although he does not mention Watling, Latham quotes notes on the habits of birds taken from drawings in the Watling set.
The birds described in the Synopsis and the first supplement were vernacular descriptions only and no scientific names were given. Johann Friedrich Gmelin published in 1788-89 a new enlarged edition of Linnaeus's Systema Naturae … and in that work rendered Latham's descriptions into Latin and gave them scientific names, thereby gaining the credit of being the first to describe and name scientifically the birds already brought to notice by Latham. In his Index Ornithologicus and the second supplement to the Synopsis Latham provided the first published descriptions and scientific names of many Australian birds, some common and well-known examples being the emu, white cockatoo, wedge-tailed eagle, lyre-bird and magpie.
Latham was essentially a compiler and his ornithology was not of a high standard even for his day; however, he made the first contribution of any importance to Australian ornithology, and it was not surpassed until John Gould embarked on his comprehensive and systematic study several decades later.

I like to make friends. Thus, coming to the new environment, I am so eager to meet cool people here and be friends with them. Li Mei is my good friend, she is a really nice and cool girl. The first time I met her, she was having argument with others, because a young man did the rude things to the old man. She blamed the young man for not apologizing to the old person. I admired her courage and made friends with her. I found she could give the creative idea about hot issues. Her difference makes her stand out. I cherish our friendship.


In 2015 and 2016, Courtney Cole was feeling on top of the world: She signed a new publishing deal, released an EP and scored slots opening for Miranda Lambert and Kenny Chesney; she made The Boot's list of New Country Artists to Watch in 2016, too. The singer-songwriter has had a bit of a rough couple months, though.
"Darkness. That's what I've been living in over the past several weeks," Cole says at the beginning of the first episode of her new docuseries, Courtney Cole: The Rockumentary. "Sounds a little dramatic, but it's true."
As Cole explains, in a two-week span, she and her boyfriend ("the love of my life," she calls him) broke up, she and her manager parted ways, and her publishing deal ended. She recently played at the 2017 Taste of Country Music Festival, but she was mostly working as an Uber driver to make ends meet.
"I wish I could tell you that I handled all of this loss like a champ, but, to be honest, I didn't," Cole admits. "I spent a lot of days in my bed, crying, wishing things would have turned out different and thinking that the universe was playing one big joke on me, but I realized very quickly that that was getting me nowhere."
So, Cole decided to chronicle her life on video. Courtney Cole: The Rockumentary's first episode sets up her story so far, but by the end of the 15 minutes, viewers learn that Cole's going to make a change: She's going to move to California -- Los Angeles, specifically -- for the summer. Episode 2, which readers can watch below, follows Cole and her mom's trip from Nashville to LA.
"[This series is about] kind of going from a little bit of brokenness to finding joy," Cole tells The Boot. "[I] decided to kind of pick up and go on with my life, and that's kind of what this story is about."
Cole launched Courtney Cole: The Rockumentary on June 15 and will be posting new episodes throughout the summer. She's filming and editing the series by herself, on her iPhone and Mac computer. Readers can follow along on Cole's YouTube page and Facebook page.

After 6 Month RBI Ban, Paytm Payments Bank To Once Again Start Opening New Accounts
January 1, 2019 OfficeChai Team
It's been a long time in the wilderness, but Paytm Payments Bank is back in the game.
Paytm has said that its payments bank can once again start opening new accounts after receiving a go-ahead from from the RBI. The Reserve Bank had barred the payments bank from opening new accounts in June last year after it had discovered irregularities in its functioning. Ever since, Paytm Payments Bank's website had carried a prominent message saying that the RBI had directed it to not open any more accounts; as of 1st January, that message is gone, and has been replaced with Paytm Payments Bank's tagline.
"Paytm Payments Bank is on a mission to facilitate the last-mile delivery of banking services to every Indian," Paytm Payments Bank's new CEO Satish Gupta told ET. "It also envisions catalysing the digital adoption and acquainting more people with the touch-of-a-button experience. believe it is going to help in the formalisation of our economy and bring about the much-needed real financial inclusion."
Gupta's appointment itself is perhaps the result of RBI's toughened stance on the bank. On 28th July, the bank's original CEO Renu Satti had unexpectedly resigned. Two days later, it had emerged that the RBI had put in place curbs on the bank, preventing it from opening new accounts since June. Back then, it had been reported that the penalty was because of irregularities in which the bank was storing data and how it was carrying out its KYC operations, but later reports had suggested that the RBI wasn't satisfied with the close relationship the bank had with its parent company, One97 Communications.
As of now, Paytm Payments Bank is back, and claims it has 42 million accounts. The bank has total deposits of only Rs. 10.7 crore, which means that the average customer only has around Rs. 2.5 in their account. Amidst all this, in 2018, the bank recorded a loss of Rs. 20 crore. Paytm Payments Bank isn't the only payments bank that has come up with unflattering numbers — Fino Payments Bank and Airtel's Payments Bank have also been both pulled up by the RBI, and haven't quite gained the traction that they'd have hoped.
But Paytm Payments Bank is at least once again back in business, and will hope to live up to they hype that had been generated when the bank had announced its operations. Paytm, for its part, seems to be fully behind the bank — they've roped in a former NPCI executive in Satish Gupta to lead the bank, and will hope that he can turn around its fortunes. Payments Banks as whole have struggled to find an audience in India, with traditional banks upping their game through their UPI payments options, and the emergence of wallets and other means of payments. It will interesting to see if Paytm can find a niche for itself with its ambitious payments bank bet.

Armillaria Population in Flood-Plain Forest of Natural Pedunculate Oak Showing Oak Decline

Flood and drought risk
We studied the Armillaria population in a forest of natural pedunculate oak subject to periodic flooding and showing symptoms of oak decline. The study area was in Wołów Forest District in the Oder River Valley flood plain. Armillaria DNA was isolated by direct extraction from rhizomorphs and mycelium in soil and root samples. Armillaria species were identifi ed by PCR-RFLP of IGS-1 rDNA using the restriction enzymes AluI, TaqI, MspI, and BsmI. Rhizomorphs were found in 10 out of 12 sites. The number of soil rhizomorphs collected (0-28 in 100 kg of soil per sampling site) often differed significantly between sites. The mean number of soil rhizomorphs per sample was signifi cantly less in flooded sites (0.30 or 0.46) than in the non-flooded control (1.16), and insignifi cantly less in sites flooded once (0.30) than in sites flooded twice (0.46). Comparison of the RFLP patterns for Armillaria samples from the oak forest with those for Armillaria testers showed them to be A. borealis (two DNA samples), A. cepistipes (seven samples), A. gallica (150 samples), and A. solidipes (one sample). RFLP patterns for Taq1 were unfamiliar, since this enzyme has rarely been used, while A. cepistipes gave a rare pattern with AluI, known previously only from Japanese isolates of this fungus. Since AluI and TaqI each produced a similar pattern for A. borealis and A. solidipes, an additional functionally efficient enzyme, BsmI, was used. These results and those from other Armillaria population studies showed that flooding affected the abundance of soil rhizomorphs, but not the diversity of Armillaria species. The decreased abundance of Armillaria rhizomorphs in soil subjected to flooding may be indicative of the flooded soil syndrome in which general loss of fungi occurs. Flooding may still be considered, however, to be a short-term inciter and stress inducer, occurring between "primary" factors and "secondary" agents that predispose the tree to infection. This is the first report on populations of Armillaria in declining oaks in flood-plain forests in the northern hemisphere.

The Teamsters – Tour Diaries
© The Teamsters
The Teamsters, the group in which I play had not been on the road for at least a year and a half. We'd been trying to find a full time drummer to replace original drummer, co founder and songwriter Bret Bolton, a name with which you may or may not be familiar with. His unfortunate departure was the result of an even more unfortunate turn of events when we were supposed to board a plane to Dublin. We went anyway, drummerless and faced the music.
On our return we found ourselves in a sticky wicket. There we were with an obligation to tour Germany for the second time that year and we had no one to play with. In the meantime we settled for deps, Mike Larisch (CurleeWurlee) who accompanied us on tour, Glenn Fryatt, Connor Colford and of course Bruce Brand who was happy to step in as long as there was nothing too mind numbingly exhausting (like going on the road for 4 weeks). Even still, he was an enormous help to us, both onstage and in the studio.
In the nick of time we managed to drag somebody in, Brandon. Who learnt the set over a few practices then was off on a short 3 day tour with us in Spain two weeks later.
We got back had a few days rest and then set off again for Germany. The preparation for this tour was somewhat scantily planned with the exception of our German agent but we were quite disorganised in providing him with worthy press material. No surprise there. as we hadn't toured properly in such a long time we thought we would push the boat out and book 4 weeks in total, spanning 4 countries through Western Europe. (France, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland).
I was very nervous about it,Especially because of the travelling arrangements, equipment and driving situation, not to mention the amount of money We needed to pay for the initial ferry.
And such like. To add insult to injury we were also in the throws of looking for a tour driver who could drive us around for the second leg in france. Fortunately Lee Sullivan was available to take some of the load. Lee had previously driven us around Germany and managed Thee Vicars where he did his fair share of tour driving all over the world. Didn't make much of a difference though when I got a call at 6am Monday morning saying he was at my house to pick us up. The tour was supposed to start a day later.
The first stop was the 3rd of May in Kortrijk at The Pits. A well known club for punk and garage bands alike. We caught the ferry early that Tuesday morning and made our way across the Chanel in a P&O cruiser that hadn't been decorated since the 80s. Oh, the glamour.
It only took us about an hour to get there, and once we arrived had plenty of time to spare. Nothing much to report that night, but it was a good start. We left Belgium around mid afternoon the next day and drove to Cologne where we were to play at The Sonic Ballroom and meet Hansi, our tour manager for Germany. Cologne was great, we'd played there before and it was cool to meet up with friends again, some of whom I hadn't seen for ages.
The next day we travelled to Hamburg. Hansi went with us too and would accompany us on the rest of the german leg. The show itself was pretty crummy, we were playing the same day as a maritime festival. So compared to the other times we played the city, the gig was pretty quiet, but we still had fun.
The biggest surprise was to see our mate Blake from Burnley. He'd travelled all the way to Hamburg to come and see us, for some reason. I've never seen the guy sober, he's a real laugh. He claims to be a psychiatrist or something, but seeing is believing. We retired to the hotel where a troupe of school kids were drinking in the bar, and Hansi educated us about the reckless antics of The Milkshakes.
Friday 6th May, and it was a long drive to Berlin where we were set to play in the east side at BLO Ateliers. Great show this was, a few familiar faces in the crowd and a good response. However, its not great news when you have to sleep on a 3 inch thick blood-stained mattress for your bed. I woke up at 8 after just 3 hours sleep, and tried to coerce Lee into getting up and driving to Hansi's to meet the others so we could get to the next gig on time, Regensburg.
Regensburg is a further distance than Munich, so it was a pain in the arse drive. It was a festival called Tiki Beat. The money was good, the food was good and the beer was good and it was a great party. At about 5am we left with a posse and a crate of beers we'd relieved from the venue to walk the streets of Regensburg. Next thing we know a Bavarian girl is standing with her bicycle yodeling german folk songs from the three penny opera at the top of her voice, everyone stood still till she finished, then clapped, and on we went. While we were on the street corner, we were spotted by the bartender. 'You dirty little liars!' he called us. We proclaimed our innocence and he went on his way, but was still dubious whether we had taken advantage of the amount of beers that we were initially allotted.
We met a band at the show called The Royal Flares, who stayed in the same apartment as us and then played with them the day after in Munich, then travelled back to Berlin for a few days break. We wanted to recuperate but spent every night intoxicated just like we had done before. We overstayed our welcome a little bit, and the final nail in the coffin is when someone left beers in the freezer so they exploded everywhere. So we fucked off to Stuttgart for a night.
It would be arranged that after the next show in Switzerland, Lee would go home because he had to go back to work. So I would drive the van with the other 2. I took it for a test drive in the pouring rain outside town, but I felt very nervous about it. Even driving the van was pretty scary and I could see that Lee was shitting himself.
Then the windscreen wipers stopped working, which could end up being fatal if it was to rain a lot. We pulled into a Mcdonalds, called the ADAC and they told us that it would cost us 200€ to diagnose the problem, without the guarantee of fixing it. I could see Lee was in a dilemma, so I came up with a solution.
We would book a ferry back to Dover from Calais for Sunday, drive back to London, then Dan, Brandon and I would drive back out to France again in my Volkswagen hatchback. We needed to tell our French agent that we couldn't bring a drumkit but that was the only way we could continue. Everyone agreed that was the most rational decision and we got back on the road to Switzerland. Thankfully it didn't rain at all the whole time.
The next thing to think about was border control. We didn't really want to have to deal with the hassle of declaring all our stuff, or the risk of getting fined because we were doing a job. Somehow we managed to get through without being stopped or checked. Lee said to me 'remember that route on the way back Tom' so I did. Good at navigation me, sometimes.
Except for a few difficulties with my amplifier, the show was great. We wanted to stay and hang out, but Lee was adamant to get in the van and get straight to Calais where we had to board the ferry. So we packed everything with great haste and got on our way. Managing to pass through the border again unchecked just before they could get authorities to close the gate. It was really close.
We all got some sleep apart from Lee who had to drive 17 hours back to London. I woke up at about half 6 in the morning, turned my phone on and saw that I had received a message from Bensen, the soundman at Horst Klub. He had told me that I had left a rucksack at the venue, that contained my passport, Dan's passport, my driving license and my bank card. 'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!' I put my head in my palm, and started panicking. Here we were 4 hours away from Calais, and Dan and I had no passports to get into England with. I started looking around in disbelief, trying to find my rucksack, thinking there was some sort of mistake, but no, we really were fucked.
Lee started coming up with ideas to get them back, like flying to Zurich and then flying back to England, or getting a train and back. All of which sounded like the last thing I wanted to do. When we arrived at Calais, we explained our situation to border officers who were very helpful. We managed to get a pass through without having to cancel our passports which would have been disastrous. Lee was buzzing, and jumped on me and gave me a big hug. We were on our way back.
As soon as I got home, I arranged with Bensen for a UPS van to take the passports and deliver them back to us in England. It never arrived at Bensen's house and I started freaking out again, how the hell would we be able to go on this tour without passports?! It really was a disaster. The UPS delivery was a lost cause, but instead Bensen sent them DHL the day after and we finally got them back in time for our show in Paris.
That evening, Dan and Brandon stayed at mine and off we were again the next morning on our way to La Mecanique for the first show of the French leg. The ferry out was scheduled at half 11 and we were in a rush, so I raced down the motorway to get there in time. We got to Dover ferry port at twenty past with only ten minutes to spare, shitting ourselves that we would get there too late. But as per usual for The Teamsters there was another unforeseen problem. When we got to the booth and gave our booking reference we realised we had booked the ferries the wrong way round.
'Ah right, you've booked the ferry from Calais to Dover'
'ooooh fuck'
'must be some sort of confusion mate'
We bluffed it and he let us changed it round at the ticket office so we got the ferry anyway.
I was worried about driving in France, especially Paris. I'd never driven there before but had been warned that its fucking mental. Everywhere you went, there was no rules or lanes that people had to get into, it's all just about who has the biggest balls. We also had the shittiest Satnav ever, which told us directions at the last minute. So we were lost, and really low on petrol.
Finally we got to the venue, La Mecanique Ondulatoire. We filled up and loaded in for the show. When we started it was tough going, the audience couldn't give a shit really, but it got easier when a fresh crowd came in. After, we came off stage and invited a few of the crowd up to the dressing room where they helped themselves to our fridge of beers. The club manager caught note that they were smoking in there and told them to stop. It didn't really make a difference because one of the girls lit up in front of him and the other one called him a 'cunt', in French. Not a good start really. Anyway, he left, and came up 10 minutes later and chucked everyone out, even us. Not that I blame him for it.
On the 21st we drove down to Clermont to play at the Bombshell. Which was a bit of a drag because what kind of venue puts their bar right in front of the stage? An ex strip joint does. It was a crummy place, but it was a common occurrence on this tour. The thing we found in France was that, once the show was over, the venues usually turned into discotheques for the local clientele. Playing contemporary chart hits.
The next few days included shows in St Ettienne, Perpignan, Marseille and Nimes where we met our mates from Les GrysGrys. But it was a show in Grenoble where Dan had a seizure. It all stemmed from the night before in Clermont where we had drunk plenty of tequila. We all felt pretty rough in the morning, but Dan in particular felt terrible. We got to Grenoble, played the show, then packed up kit in the pouring rain and followed the promoter to the hotel where we were staying. It took us about an hour flying up and down the motorway to find a roadside hotel that had vacancies. I think we tried 5 different hotels before we found one. The promoter had obviously forgotten to book rooms for us in advance and all this faffing about was testing our patience. I also had to keep de-misting the windscreen by switching on the hot air, which just made it worse. When we got there, Dan was shaking, and rushed up the stairs straight to the room. I came in and found that the luggage was on the ground floor and thought that something must be wrong but I couldn't find him.
I shouted his name, and could hear a whimper and found him passed out on the floor in the corridor upstairs. Dan has recent history of fits and seizures but I had never been there when it happened. He was alright in the end, he got to bed and recovered over the next 48 hours but it was pretty spooky.
It wasn't over for Dan though, because after a show in Biarritz he was grabbed by the bouncer round the neck for allegedly pushing someone which was completely unfounded. Dan read him the riot act 'if you knew how to do your job properly….' And so on but these were the kind of things that kept on happening to us.
On the 29th May, we played our last show of the tour in Perigeux and drove on a 10 hour trip back to London. I spent the first hours of my birthday on a P&O ferry and to round it all off, when we arrived back in Brixton, we were greeted with emergency services trying to hose a fire down in the next door neighbour's garden.
It was an eventful trip, probably something we will never do again for that long but we got it out of our system and it was a great test and earned us a few more jobs in Germany and France too.
Now we're going to take a short break, record more and hopefully release something this year.

This dress has been in my stash a long time . . . I bought it when my kids were in middle school, and were still excited about dressing up for themed Homecoming events. Unfortunately, we never needed it. A couple of years ago, I was helping someone with a last-minute dance costume and we tried using one of the sleeve puffs as a skirt decoration, so it was already relegated to a "parts" dress. I have already removed the additional purple and black bead-and-sequin flowers from around the neckline and base of the skirt.
To begin, I removed the second sleeve, and detached the ruffled skirt pieces. The piece on the left was attached to the sequin fabric, and the piece on the right was attached to the lining. (My apologies for the poor pictures in this post–I am not sure what happened to the lighting).
I found another simple "little black dress" to use as the base.
I removed the rhinestone decoration from the waist.
The ruffles were attached to the skirt to give a hi-low angle. I often use safety pins to hold heavy pieces together when I am combining garments.
I attached the under-ruffles first, and then the top ruffle. I had to release some of the gathers on the top ruffle so that it would fit.
Next I cut strips of red lace and very generously squish gathered it along the top of the black ruffle. Red string sequins were added to the edges of the ruffles. An extra piece was added to one of hte sides to give a little something extra.
I attached the ruffled sleeves to the base dress (the white with the spot is the shoulder of the dress form).
This costume was very quick to make, and fulfilled my goal of using the cut-up purple dress. Now I just need to do something with the purple sequin part, lol. I also like it because it is very reflective of the red dress that the Baroness is wearing. They both have puffy "sleeves" and the shape of the ruffles skirts. I had plenty of red lace, so I just cut more strips as I needed them, so I didn't have to divide out my quantity and try to make the ruffle even.
This would not be my favorite as a stand-alone dress, but I think it will work well in the ensemble.

Prop. 8 Lawyer Ted Olson Joins Legal Fight Against North Carolina's 'Bathroom Bill'
May 18, 2016 by Sean Mandell Leave a Comment
Prop. 8 lawyer Ted Olson has joined the Human Rights Campaign in their legal effort to support the Department of Justice's lawsuit against North Carolina's discriminatory bathroom bill, HB 2.
HRC announced on Wednesday that Olson will write an amicus or 'friend of the Court' brief in support of the DOJ's suit.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch last week announced the lawsuit against North Carolina and Governor Pat McCrory for violating the rights of transgender citizens.
PREVIOUSLY: Ted Olson and David Boies Endorse LGBT Equality Act
The Huffington Post reports:
Olson, who previously served as the U.S. solicitor general under George W. Bush, has argued dozens of cases in front of the Supreme Court. The conservative lawyer became an unexpected ally of the left when he took up the case against Prop 8, the California ballot measure banning same-sex marriages, in 2009. The case eventually reached the Supreme Court in 2013, when the justices upheld a lower court's decision to overturn the ban.
"HB2 discriminates against fellow citizens because of who they are," Olson said in a statement. "This law directly challenges the legitimacy of the identity of transgender persons and then compels them to deny it every time they use a public restroom. There can be no doubt that this is bad for business in North Carolina."
HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement,
"HB 2 is a hateful piece of legislation that has not only harmed thousands of people across North Carolina, but hurt companies and damaged the state's economy. We are proud that Ted Olson, one of the nation's leading conservative legal minds, will lead a brief on behalf of the business community and advocate for the equal rights and dignity of transgender Americans."

Q: Display External Jobs using XML feeds in Sharepoint 2013 How can I show the external jobs provided in XML feeds on Sharepoint 2013?
My initial research suggests creating a webpart with XML viewer feature.
Add the required XML file link and XSL information.
It shows the data from XML feeds, but in an unstructured format.
Please help to understand how to make it show only the specific Jobs link on the webpart and allow user to click on it to view overall.

A: XML with XSLT applied gives a simple HTML. Use any tool to compose XSLT (I'd recommend Altova's), then follow the steps of 'Use the XML Viewer Web Part...' at support.office.com. In XSLT you'll use XPath to filter elements.

Russia Blocks Reddit, Reddit, known as 'the front page of the internet', it is a place where millions of users share thousands of news stories, internet memes and tips and advice every day and a whole range of topics.
However, one post on the site offering advice about how to grow hallucinogenic or 'magic' mushrooms has lead Roskomnadzor, the Russian government agency which oversees the media, to place Reddit on a blacklist, blocking it entirely for many Russian users. Roskomnadzor claimed it was acting on behalf of the Russian Federal Drug Control Service, which said the thread prompted the cultivation and use of illegal drugs.
The ban turned out to be short lived however and within 24 hours Russian users were able to access the site again, once Reddit administrators apparently took action to block the offending content being available to Russian I.P addresses.
This is not the first time that Russian authorities have taken action to have content removed or blocked from the internet. YouTube was recently warned it could find itself on Russia's online black list because of alleged copyright violations. YouTube removed Russian TV shows from their site to prevent this.
Under the regime of President Vladimir Putin, Russia has enacted a series of restrictive laws that strictly control what is allowed on the internet, allowing the Kremlin to block access to a wide variety of sites.
While the Reddit ban was still in place the author of the original post, a user called 'rsocfan,' said that he would not delete the mushroom growing guide.
Many users are now questioning the fact that Reddit appears to have given in to government censorship, with some Reddit users believing that Reddit should have kept the post up as a move to defend free speech.
While a lot of the sites users are perplexed by Reddit's right to "restrict content," to everyone at EasyHide VPN it seems that stability, rather than freedom of speech, is Reddit's biggest priority right now.

BCC Lions Football Club (Benue Cement Company) este un club de fotbal nigerian din orașul Gboko.

Istoria clubului
BCC Lions a fost fondat în 1982 și în anii 1990 a fost unul dintre cluburile dominante din fotbalul nigerian. În zilele noastre, BCC Lions joacă în diviziile inferioare nigeriene, după rezultate proaste și unele probleme economice. Nu mai ajung la gloria anilor 1990, dar au totuși un loc în istoria fotbalului nigerian. Jocurile lor de acasă au avut loc pe stadionul J. S. Tarka (15.000 de locuri). După ce au petrecut șase ani în divizia inferioară, și-au pierdut încet baza de fani și sprijinul financiar.

În ciuda unui impuls de 2,5 milioane naira- (unitatea monetară a Nigeriei) din partea guvernatorului statului Benue George Akume în 2002, și încă un milion de la Guilder Brewing, doi ani mai târziu echipa a fost desființată, nici măcar nu s-a prezentat pentru jocul din prima tură FA Cup din 2004 împotriva celor de la Shooting Stars. O încercare de a învia echipa a început în noiembrie 2007. În septembrie 2008, Aliko Dangote, președintele consiliului de administrație al BCC, a anunțat că 110 milioane de naira au fost aprobate pentru ca echipa să participe în sezonul 2008/09, însă au retrogradat după ce au terminat pe locul 13.

Nothing has changed: Repeat of the Milgram experiments shows that modern Millennials are more than willing to deliver deadly electric shocks to human subjects
01/09/2019 / By Russel Davis
A landmark study on human obedience that was conducted some 50 years ago has recently been replicated and showed little change in the outcome. The Milgram experiment, originally conducted by Stanley Milgram and his colleagues, was designed to test how people were willing to deliver electric shocks to another person if they were encouraged by a higher authority. While no actual electric shocks were delivered during the experiment, many participants believed they were, in fact, shocking their peers. The experiment shows that under certain conditions, pressure from authority figures would eventually push people to carry out commands despite potentially harming another individual.
Researchers at the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Poland have recently recreated the experiment to see what the results would look like if it happened in Central European countries that were previously part of the communist-run Soviet Union. "Our objective was to examine how high a level of obedience we would encounter among residents of Poland. It should be emphasized that tests in the Milgram paradigm have never been conducted in Central Europe. The unique history of the countries in the region made the issue of obedience towards authority seem exceptionally interesting to us," the researchers wrote.
Milgram revisited: The teacher-learner paradigm
The experiment was not recreated in full due to ethical considerations. Researchers recruited 80 participants — 40 men and 40 women — aged between 18 and 69, a vast majority of whom claimed to have never committed electrocution upon learning about the history of the experiment. Each participant was unknowingly paired with an actor, who played the part of the learner, while the study participant played the teacher.
The experiment was conducted in two neighboring rooms. One room was where the learner was hooked up to electrodes, giving the respondents an impression that the learner was to receive electric shocks. The other room was designated to the respondents. The teacher was given levers to control and was instructed to deliver electric shocks whenever the learner made a mistake. Prerecorded screams were played simultaneously when the shocks were delivered.
As the experiment proceeded, the facilitator would ask the respondents to intensify the electric shocks. Comments such as "please continue" and "you have no choice" were given when the participants appeared hesitant to deliver the shock. Researchers said the participants were given debriefing sessions following the experiment. "During this debriefing, [the] participants were told of the details of the procedure, apologized [to] for being deceived at the start of the experiment … and received an explanation of why it was done in that way," researchers noted.
Results show very little has changed since the infamous 1960s experiment
Data showed that some 90 percent of participants were willing to electrocute someone using the highest levels of shocks. However, the number of participants who refused to carry out electrocution was three times higher when the learner was a woman. However, the study's sample size is too small to determine other possible reasons.
"It is exceptionally interesting that in spite of the many years which have passed since the original Milgram experiments, the proportion of people submitting themselves to the authority of [the] experimenter remains very high," the researchers said. "In summary, it can be said that such a high level of obedience among participants, very similar to that attained in the 1960s in the original Milgram studies, is exceptionally fascinating," the researchers added. (Related: Study proves 95% of people really are sheeple.)
"Our study has, yet again, illustrated the tremendous power of the situation the subjects are confronted with and how easily they can agree to things which they find unpleasant…half a century after Milgram's original research into obedience to authority, a striking majority of subjects are still willing to electrocute a helpless individual," said researcher Tomasz Grzyb.
These findings were published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.

The 1-7 New York Giants travel across the country
in Weihnachts-Forum von Planet Xmas 12.03.2019 03:47
von liny195 • 69 Beiträge
Monday to play the 2-7 San Francisco 49ers. Which means the national Monday Night Football audience will be subjected to teams with a 3-14 record who are playing out the season only to determine NFL Draft position.Let's look at some of the numbers that matter heading into the matchup.1 and 3: Where the Giants and 49ers are http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/b.j.-hill-jersey , respectively, in the 2019 NFL Draft order.3: That's the number of points the 49ers are currently favored by.400: Odell Beckham Jr. (374) needs 26 receptions to reach 400 for his career. 350: Eli Manning (347) needs 3 touchdown passes to become the 7th player to reach 350 in NFL history. 215: Beckham (785) needs 215 yards receiving to reach 1,000 yards receiving for the 4th time in his career. 58: Through Week 9, Saquon Barkley ranks second among running backs in the NFL with 58 receptions. Barkley has already smashed the franchise record for receptions by a rookie running back. Bobby Duhon had 37 in 1968.1,000: The chase is on for Barkley to become only the third player in NFL history to gain 1,000 yards rushing and receiving in the same year. He has 517 rushing yards and 497 receiving after eight games.44: Sterling Shepard (1,956) needs 44 receiving yards to reach 2,000 for his career.31: The number of quarterback sacks allowed by both teams. The Giants have done that in eight games, the 49ers in nine.8.8: That is how many points the Giants are averaging in the fourth quarter of games, sixth in the league. Since they averaging only 18.8 overall, 27th in the league, what does that tell us? Probably that far too many of their points are coming in garbage time of games they have already lost.40: The Giants are scoring touchdowns on only 40 percent of their trips into the red zone, 31st in the NFL.SB Nation dataThe chart below is from SB Nation. For the complete data, and explanations of the categories, click here and select "Giants" in the drop down. The New York Giants will once again return to the field this Monday night to take on the San Francisco 49ers. While nobody on the Giants' side of things would, or should, say that their season is (for all intents and purposes) over, they are no longer playing meaningful football. So, rather than preview the upcoming game from the defensive side of the ball, I thought it would be better to go over their "to do" list for the remainder of the season. While the playoffs might be out of reach Womens Riley Dixon Jersey , there is plenty the Giants can still accomplish this season, if only in preparation for the 2019 off-season.Financial decisions The Giants are faced with a number of financial decisions across the roster, decisions like whether players are worth extending or if veterans should be cap casualties. There are a pair of each which could be big decisions going forward.Landon Collins - Collins is likely going to be one of the biggest decisions for the Giants this off-season, and probably the biggest on the defensive side of the ball. He told reporters over the bye week that contract negotiations have not yet started. Collins was voted a team captain this year, and while he hasn't played up to the heights he set for himself in 2016, he remains a very good strong safety. After the injury to nickel linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong forced something of a change in how Collins was used, he has begun to make more plays like he did in his break-out season. However, the Giants need to decide if an extension fits in to their salary cap plans, and if how he needs to be used to maximize his skillset fits in Bettcher's plans going forward. Alec Ogletree - The Giants took on a lot of money when they traded for Ogletree, frankly more than his play warrants. However, it has been rationalized that they had to make some kind of move based on the state of their linebacking corps. Ogletree has stepped into a prominent leadership position on the defense, and hasn't played poorly when asked to go downhill and into the opposing backfield. Unfortunately, he has proved to be a liability in coverage as the "moneybacker," which necessitated the adoption of a nickel linebacker in place of B.J. Goodson, who is a talented run defender. Complicating matters, the combination of Goodson and Tae Davis played well together when Ogletree missed the Giants' Week 8 game against the Washington Redskins. There is an "out" in Ogletree's contract after this season though it would leave the Gisnts with $5.25 million in dead money, and the Giants need to decide whether Ogletree can justify his contract going forward or if they need to move on. Janoris Jenkins - The Giants reportedly tried to trade Jenkins before the deadline, but were unable to get a deal done. It seems likely at this point that the veteran corner isn't in their plans for the future. Releasing or working out a trade for Jenkins would provide the Giants with cap relief, but it would also create another void in their secondary.Cornerbacks with the ability to hold up one-on-one in press coverage play a vital role in Bettcher's defense, and the Giants don't have any proven options beyond Jenkins at this point. The question they need to answer over the remainder of the season is whether they can afford to move on from Jenkins Authentic Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , or if parting ways would be more trouble than it's worth. Olivier Vernon - Another potential cap casualty, Vernon showed his worth to the Giants in his absence to start the season. The defense's pass rush was virtually nonexistent while Vernon was recovering from the sprained ankle he suffered during the pre-season. It might be a bit much to say that he has been the spark which ignited the Giants' pass rush, but his return has had an impact. Vernon has quickly shown himself to be the team's best edge defender and a player who can create opportunities for his teammates. Tony Lippett - A new addition to the Giants' secondary, the Giants need to find out if Lippett is fully healed from his torn Achilles. A receiver turned corner, Lippett showed upside as a cornerback with the Miami Dolphins before his injuries. If he can regain that form, he could be a future piece for the Giants' secondary. But first he needs to find his way on to the field, prove that he is healthy, and that he has a fit in the Giants' coverage schemes.Find out what they have in the rookiesLorenzo Carter - Carter has already flashed the upside that made him a favorite of Bettcher's throughout the draft process. His length, agility, and freakish athleticism give him sky-high upside as a pass rusher. The Giants desperately need him to realize that potential, so they will have another rusher who can inspire fear in offenses apart from Vernon. However, he has only flashed that potential and still has to learn how to fully harness and unleash his considerable physical tools. He saw a significant increase in snap share before the bye week, and the Giants' best bet is to continue that trend. At this point experience is the best teacher, and the team will be looking for any hints that Carter is inching toward his ceiling.B.J. Hill - It was a surprise when Hill claimed one of the starting spots on the Giants' defensive line in the spring, but after a few months of seeing him on the field, it probably shouldn't have been. Tagged as a "nose tackle" coming out of NC State, the reality is that Hill was likely under-used by his college team. He is much more athletic than is expected of nose tackles, and he is able to play virtually any position on the defensive line. Like Carter, the Giants need to keep giving Hill regular reps in both base an nickel packages to nurture his development. RJ McIntosh - The Giants haven't seen their fifth round pick on a football field since scouting him at the University of Miami, but he is finally healthy and activated to the 53-man roster. Of the Giants' defensive line additions Womens Sterling Shepard Jersey , McIntosh offers the most upside as a pass rusher. At 6-foot-4, 291 pounds, his size and athleticism (he was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine), suggest that he should be disruptive as either a 5-technique in base defenses or a 3 (or 2i) technique in nickel packages. With eight games left, the Giants need to get him on the field and find out what he might bring. Tae Davis - Davis stepped in as the nickel linebacker when Ray-Ray Armstrong went down with an injury. Armstrong had played well enough on passing downs — surprisingly so, considering he was an emergency mid-season pickup the year before — but the Giants obviously felt good enough about Davis to let Armstrong go. So far Davis has flashed in coverage and on special teams, playing well next to Goodson when Ogletree was out before the bye week. Considering their weakness at the linebacker position over the last decade or so, finding an under-the-radar contributor could be big for the defense.Grant Haley - Many expected Haley to be drafted back in April, albeit on the third day. So it wasn't surprising when the Giants made a concerted effort to make him a priority free rookie free agent signing. Haley mostly played outside in college, but at 5-9 he has primarily played in the slot for the Giants. Haley has the long speed to hang at cornerback, and makes use of his low center of gravity to be remarkably quick in short areas. The Giants have churned their secondary heavily searching for a viable slot corner, and they should give Haley every chance to prove that he can be a piece for the defense going forward.Sean Chandler - Curtis Riley has not yet proved to be an answer at free safety in his first season after converting from cornerback. Unfortunately for the Giants, it is impossible to hide poor safety play in an blitz-heavy defense which relies on press-man coverage. The Giants clearly want a free safety with a cornerback's skill set, and they should find out if Chandler can be that player. He is a natural safety, but has some experience playing slot corner. This is another area where the Giants could certainly benefit from finding an under-the-radar answer to a serious problem which is already on the roster. As with so many of these young players, if none of them are able to step forward and take a role, the team could find itself in need of as many as five or six new starters between now and 2019.Refine the scheme and improve executionFinally we get to the X's and O's portion of the Giants' To Do list. Certainly, the Giants' defensive scheme has been better than that of the offense. The Giants' generally know who they are, and who they want to be, on defense. When at all possible Authentic Evan Engram Jersey , James Bettcher's defense has been aggressive and swarmed to the football. He hasn't hesitated to send pressure, even if it has burned the team for a big plays, and it is common to see every defender in the area hustling to the ball carrier. However, that doesn't mean that the scheme can't be refined and better tailored to players' skill-sets. As mentioned above, this could be particularly important for the decision on Landon Collins. For most of the first half of the season, Bettcher used him similarly to Tony Jefferson when he was a Cardinal, but Collins truly thrived in more of a "Troy Polamalu" role, in which he roams the tackle box. Will we see Collins shift away from being a "jack of all trades" safety to more of a box role? It's something the Giants should explore. There is also the matter of execution. The first problem that leaps off the tape is the Giants' tackling. Too often players have failed to wrap up and deliver a proper tackle, leading to yards after first contact and small plays turning into chunk yardage for the offense. There have also been issues with communication and coverage breakdowns on the back end. With the Giants relying on the blitz to power much of their pass rush, breakdowns in coverage on the back end take a risky decision and make it a potential disaster if an offense can take advantage. Regardless of who is manning the Giants' secondary going forward, they need to tighten up their coverage if the scheme has any hope of functioning as intended.Final thoughtsThe Giants have a game to look forward to against San Francisco on Monday night. And that is where their concentration should be. However, that doesn't mean they can't also be self-scouting and evaluating with the 2019 offseason in mind. They have a number of decisions to make after the season ends, decisions which could have an impact well after the 2019 season. They also need to evaluate their young players and find out just how many holes they have yet to fill on the defense. If they're lucky, the youngsters will step up and grow to be reliable contributors. If not, their rebuild becomes much longer and more difficult.

any ideas why i am facing such issue ?

A: I was facing a similar problem.  My solution was only slightly related to the actual plugin.
I've upgraded to 2.0-beta-1.
The plugin was hiding the actual error from the console output.
I ran with the "old" tomcat plugin (mvn tomcat:run) and it showed my problem.
My applicationContext.xml wasn't getting loaded and that error was being swallowed.

Admired by their peers, Canada's astronomers are making an international mark stirrio some cosmic dust
DANYLO HAWALESHKA September 5 2005
STELLAR PERFORMANCE DANYLO HAWALESHKA September 5 2005
DANYLO HAWALESHKA
CANADIANS ARE masters of the universe. Just look at the numbers. Sure, the U.S. leads the world in spending on space research, laying out roughly US$7 per American each year, while Britain, France and Germany budget between US$4 and US$5 for every citizen. Canada spends just US$1 per capita, less even than Australia. Yet by one important measure—the confidence of their peers—Canadian astronomers produce some of the best astrophysical science on the planet. Thomson Scientific, a Philadelphia-based information clearing house, reported Canadian scientists published 4,836 research papers on space in the past decade. Those studies in turn were referenced 76,921 times in other scientific papers, for an average citation rate of 15.91. U.S. scientists produced many more papers in total, but they were cited just 15.18 times—good, but only for second place. Canadian astronomers, says Thomson spokesman Rodney Yancey, "influence the field a great deal."
If one were to list Canada's 150 most cited scientists from the many different fields of study, about 15 would be astronomers, says Jaymie Matthews, associate professor of astronomy at the University of British Columbia. It's a remarkable feat given the relatively small size of the community. "I can assure you," says Matthews, "astronomers don't represent 10 per cent of the Canadian scientific population."
William Harris, a frequently cited astronomer at McMaster University in Hamilton, likens the Canadian success to a talented student making a movie with next to no money. The young director is forced to be innovative. And while limited means can draw the best out of people, it can also be a double-edged sword. The downside, says Matthews, is "now we're expected to pull this off every time on a shoestring budget." Lack of funding has forced scientists to pick their projects wisely, observes Ray Carlberg, an astrophysics professor at the University of Toronto. "We can't do everything
if we want to have impact," he says. "There are a million and one choices that you can make, and Canadian astronomers, as a group, clearly make some good ones."
In that group a number of academics stand out. Last year's most quoted papercited 1,058 times—mapped the radiological afterglow of the big bang, in the process
helping confirm theories of how the universe came to be. It was written by 17 international scientists, among them Mark Halpern of the University of British Columbia. Another bright light is Peter Stetson, an astronomer at the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics near Victoria: he is known for developing a key software program
D some cosmic dust
called DAOPHOT, the gold standard for analyzing star clusters. And Don VandenBerg at the University of Victoria is internationally acclaimed for his work on modelling stars of different size and composition. Other scientists employ VandenBerg's findings like a template, to gauge the age of stars.
For Canadians, it's a nice time to be stir-
ring up some cosmic dust. The universe is a happening place. In 1998, scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that, contrary to earlier notions, the 13.7-billion-year-old universe isn't slowing but rather accelerating the expansion that began with the big bang. Why? Because of something called dark energy, a mysterious force that somehow causes stars and other cosmic entities to zoom apart faster than gravity should allow. Other discoveries have also changed our perception of the heavens. It was just over a decade ago when astronomers discovered the first planet to orbit a star other than our own sun. Today, almost 150 of these so-called exoplanets have been identified. In July, three U.S. researchers said they had confirmed a 10th planet in our solar system, out past Pluto and about 1.5 times its size.
At the turn of the 20th century, the Milky Way was considered the sum total of our universe. Canadians helped changed that. In the run-up to the First World War, the country's leaders had the foresight to build what was then the world's largest telescope. Located just outside Victoria on Little Saanich Mountain and still in operation, the 1.8-m wide telescope at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory didn't hold the title long. It did, however, help the world better understand the size of the Milky Way. Today, we believe it contains at least 100 billion stars—and that there are more than 100 billion galaxies in the known universe.
In the 1960s, Canada debated where to invest next. Should we build a telescope at home or go international? The decision was to join a consortium with France and Plawaii and build an observatory on the summit of Hawaii's Mauna Kea. "We didn't have a lot to put on the table compared to the overall cost," recalls Matthews. "But we had expertise, so we had a contribution to the project far out of proportion to the money." (Since then, Canada has also entered into other multinational partnerships and built two larger 8-m telescopes, one at Mauna Kea and the other at an observatory on Cerro Pachón in the Chilean Andes.)
What Canada lacked until only recently was the ability to make observations from space. That changed with MOST, a suit-
case-sized, $ 10-million rocket-borne telescope that was blasted into space in 2003. Backed by the Canadian Space Agency, MOST has already outlived its life expectancy and has another two, maybe three years to go, says Matthews, the project's mission scientist. MOST—for microvariability and oscillations of stars—is one of the first tools to allow Canadian scientists to home in on and study individual stars by measuring tiny light variations detectable only from space. In the lead up to the launch, researchers belatedly realized MOST could also be used to look at exoplanets. "We astronomers tend to be obsessed with size—we're always wanting to make bigger and bigger telescopes— while the MOST philosophy was that size didn't always matter," says Matthews. "But even we underestimated what we could do with a 15-cm telescope in orbit, with the right equipment attached to it."
As it did a century ago, Canada once again wants to build the world's largest telescope. Currently, the biggest are in the order of 8 to 10 m in diameter. However, there are now more than a dozen projects aimed at building a 30-m wide telescope. Canada, through the Association of Canadian Universities for Research in Astronomy, has teamed with two U.S. universities and another international agency to build what's being called the TMT (for the Thirty Metre Telescope). It's expected to cost nearly $1 billion, and Canada would have a 25-per-cent stake. The project is now in the design phase, and construction—which will include the painstaking assembly of more than 700 hexagonal mirrors—isn't expected to start before 2008. "This is no bathroom mirror," says Carlberg. "It's in the realm of big science." Through the Canadian Space Agency, we are also a partner in the successor to NASA's revolutionary Hubble Space Telescope. Canada has a five-per-cent share in the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's next-generation eye-in-the-sky that is due to launch in 2011 and will orbit about 1.5 million km above Earth. Canada's stake may not sound like much, says Harris, "but it's enough to give us a seat on the board of directors." It should also ensure Canada continues to get a big bang for its buck. 1711

Took a walk through Central Park during lunch.
It was looking particularly gorgeous today.
Is it wrong to never want to leave the isle of Manhattan?
How do you feel about the weather getting cooler?
I have so many friends that are not having it. They are longing for Summer to return. I on the other hand couldn't be happier. This is my favorite time of year. Not only am I fan of the weather and all the groovy stuff that goes with it, I'm a fan of the food.
P.S. Lunch was a very tasty Turkey Sandwich, Root Beer and a Brownie from Dean & Deluca.
Another benefit to it not being Summer, layering of the clothes....THAT means more brownies.
My Summer loving friends look like Calvin Klein underwear models. It's OK, their time will come back in Season soon enough. Enjoy.
I endure summer solely to get to fall.
Stunning pictures. SIgh, I need to visit. Why can't fall last half the year?
i will be in NYC later today. Cannot wait to go to Central Park. Maybe I'll see you there!
If the design gig falls through, you could take up photography.


Yesterday, I was on my way home from Northern Quebec. I had two flights, both on Air Canada. The first was from YUY (Rouyn-Naronda) to YUL (Montreal-Trudeau) and the second was from YUL to LGA (New York City).
On the second flight, I sat next to my friend and colleague, Andrea. Throughout the flight, we spoke to one another. The topics ranged from our travel through Quebec to travel generally to our work to lifestyle. We didn't speak about anything intimate and we never spoke loudly.
That is why, after landing, we were both quite taken aback (and a little weirded-out) when the gentleman who was seated in front of us stood up and recited in detail everything Andrea and I had just spoken about – including exactly where we live and the name of her child and of our respective significant others.
Honestly, an airplane is not a place with a huge expectation of privacy. And frankly, we've all eavesdropped from time to time when seated in a plane or train. Sometimes, I've even joined a conversation when, for example, passengers behind me spoke of travel I was interested in or running marathons. So too, if I was ever disturbed by a passenger kicking my seat or speaking too loud, I will not hesitate to turn around and politely ask him/her to stop. But I wasn't kicking his seat and I didn't use the entertainment system, and nor do I think that Andrea and I were speaking loudly.
His peculiar recital and the sneering manner in which he reeled off the specifics of our conversation was disconcerting. I don't think he was dangerous, but I do think he was a creep. Nevertheless, we waited a minute or two after deplaning for him to walk out of the terminal so as to be sure he wouldn't initiate any further contact with us.
Welcome home to New York, right?
Now it's your turn to share – have you ever had a creepy encounter on a plane?
Obviously this creepy person thought you were talking too much & or too loud. His solution to his misery, recite back your conversation. Weird. Sometimes I find it creepy when the person next to me reads what I'm reading and then asks me about it or why I read / buy a certain book / periodical. And then comes the "when you're done, can read that / have it".
Do you really maintain you weren't talking loudly? With the ambient noise on a plane, the individual would have had to have had remarkable hearing to garner all those details unless your voices carried. In my experience, I can't make out the details of my seatmates conversation if they lower their voices at all.
I'd hazard a guess that he was rudely informing you of the loud nature of your conversation.
good theory, but we were speaking softly (even taking into consideration the ambient noise issue).
see above. I'm not a loud talker. thanks for your theory, albeit wrong.
I agree with Steve, but in a more tactful manner it sounds simply as if the passenger tired of listening to you and Andrea talk and recited the soon-to-be-forgotten details because he was annoyed, not because he was "creepy". We are all crammed in there and listening to incessant chatter "throughout the flight" (in your words) can be quite tiresome.
I'm going to second Steve. You were probably annoying him (and others seated near you). Planes in general are NOT a good place for long conversations due to the enforced close proximity. Clearly if he could recite all these details it means you were talking loud enough for him to hear. If it isn't possible for you to find a volume loud enough for the person next to you but NOT for the person in front of you to hear….then you shouldn't be having the conversation… Please be considerate for those sitting around you.
thanks for your thoughts, but I believe he went out of his way to listen in on our conversation rather than our conversation being thrust upon him. This was about his weird exertion of power rather than the decibel level of a conversation.
How was he going out of his way to listen in? Did he turn around and look at you over the seats the whole conversation? Did he recline his seat and jam his ear into the gap to get closer???
He heard all those details because you two were being too loud and inconsiderate! Now you can argue that he didn't not handle it the best way. You can argue that he was being passive agressive in waiting to the end and reciting the details. But at least acknowledge your own failings too.
The guy in front obviously had good hearing and memory skills and/or was annoyed by the conversation going on behind him and made it a point to show how much he could overhear the conversation and annoyed by it.
Not sure it's as much a sign of him being a creep as much as of him wanting quiet and being annoyed by a long and detailed conversation of loud enough level for him to capture all those details from people behind him.
I don't find a good memory for details to be creepy, but people with poorer listening and memory skills may find it creepy that someone can do so and then manages to playback the details to show their capacity.
Hm, not getting a lot of love here. I agree with others that it's hard to hear the details people one row up or back with the ambient noise of a plane, especially if they are speaking softly. Clearly this person heard and did not find your conversation endearing. And, to be fair, also lacks some basic social skills.
You've struck a nerve here of all of us who have ever wished that a yapper would stop yapping in cramped quarters, but also wanted to avoid confrontation.
You may not be one of these people at all, but there are quite a few men and women who find the sound of their own voice and details of their lives somehow magical and assume that others do too.
I'm so thankful somebody finally reacts. Shut the fup on aircrafts. Want to talk for hours? Go to a Caffè. An aircraft should be quiet as a church, because… Surprise… They are jam packed and certain people do not want to her your voice for hour. Perhaps you were lso barefoot going to the toilet and putting feet on armrest, or cutting nails. I just wish you have a neighbor like this when you want or need a quiet environment.
The problem with every single one of the haters theories is that this guy passive aggressively waited until the end of the flight to snarkily recite your conversation, instead of as a mature adult, asking you politely to talk more quietly when it first annoyed him. This is indefensible. Period. Either say something nicely or don't say anything at all or you are rude and a creep. So even if y'all were loud and crazy, unless someone politely says something (hey I am having trouble hearing my movie, or reading my book, could you speak more quietly please, for example) they have no defense to saying something at the end of the flight. Especially a guy to two females in such an aggressive manner.
Out if curiosity…. Did you say anything to him after his recital of details? Isn't it even more passive agressive to say nothing to him at the time and then blog about it?
You can argue what he did was inappropriate…but you have to acknowledge your actions, speaking too loudly, enabled him to be inappropriate.
Yes, he was creepy. Yes, you shouldn't talk so much on planes.
I guess he did not have his noise cancelling head phones on! They seem to block everything except loud crying babies behind me!!He needed to get a life !!
The same happened to me in a train while i'm travelling to Mumbai (India).
