JinkoSolar Supplies 25.8 MW Of Solar Modules For Solar Park In India
JinkoSolar Holding Co. Ltd. has supplied 25.8 MW of solar PV modules for a solar park in India. The company says the facility, located in the village of Mandrup in the state of Maharashtra, is the first such private solar park in the country. Enrich Energy Pvt. Ltd. is the developer.
According to Enrich Energy, Maharashtra has the best irradiation characteristics in India, recommending it as a promising host for a PV plant. Power generated from the project will be fed to the 132 kV Mandrup substation.

A group of students and advocates in Chicago are taking their protest against strict disciplinary policies in some charter schools in the city to the state legislature and the State Board of Education.
The protesters appeared before the Illinois state charter commission earlier this week but got little traction with their concerns, said Emma Tai, a coordinator for Voices of Youth in Chicago Education, or VOYCE, which is supporting the protests.
They want more oversight and consistent regulation of charter schools' expulsion and discipline policies from both the state commission and the Chicago Board of Education—especially as those schools are expanding at the same time the school district is closing almost 50 of its noncharter schools.
"Charter schools can't claim to be 'nonselective' and 'higher-performing' public schools while relying on expulsion to systematically choose which students they will educate with taxpayer dollars," says a VOYCE fact sheet.
"With the closures of a lot of public schools, there's concern about the growth of charters without enough accountability," said Jessica Schneider, a staff attorney at the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. She represented a student whom she believed had been expelled from a charter school for an offense that would not have resulted in expulsion in a regular public school.
The VOYCE protests zero in on the Noble network of charter schools, which have attracted attention for their practice of fining students for disciplinary actions. Mike Milkie, the network's superintendent, says that the strict policies help inculcate a sense of self-discipline in students, and that they create safer school environments. The Noble Network is set to expand in the city this year.
VOYCE found that the expulsion rate is 7.6 times higher at Noble than in the city's noncharter public schools, while another network, Perspectives Charter Schools, had an expulsion rate that is almost 16 times higher than Chicago Public Schools' traditional public schools.
Overall in Chicago, the expulsion rate in 2011-12 was .54 percent in charter schools, as compared to just .08 percent in traditional public schools.
This may be partly because it is harder to get an impartial expulsion hearing in most charter schools, Schneider said. She said that often, even an appealed decision would go right back to the charter schools' leader. In the traditional public schools, all expulsions are heard by a central office.
Meanwhile, enrollment in the charter sector has been growing as enrollment in the regular schools has declined.
Chicago isn't not the only place where this has been an issue: Many cities have been determining whether and how to deal with high discipline rates in charter schools, which some advocates say mean that the traditional public schools are left with more challenging populations of students. Education Week published a collection of articles about charter discipline earlier this year.
In New Orleans, where the majority of students attend charter schools, concerns about push-outs and expulsions escalated to such a point that the state-run Recovery School District, which oversees many charter schools in the city, decided to create a unified expulsion court for almost all of the city's schools, so that schools could still set their own codes for more minor infractions but have some degree of accountability before actually expelling a student. Some have said that other cities with rapidly growing charter sectors could look to that court in New Orleans as a model.
Meanwhile, some charter schools in Chicago are specifically designed to serve students who have been struggling in school. The 22-school Youth Connections Charter School enrolls approximately 4,000 Chicago students who were at risk of dropping out.


May 13th, 1940, morning. Mouzon is a French Major Supply Depot. Reinforcements will spawn in the bottom left corner. Currently the French 5eRDP BG (AI) pinned down by PzRgt.1/1Pz on in that small corner. Morale is on and the battles are set at 15 minutes. You own all the commanding features including the two story house next to thier deploy zone. You have full LOS everywhere.
Keep the battlegroup pinned in the corner. The AI can have the bridge, but not the North end of it. The two story house is a bonus, but you don't need it. Take some some armour or anti tank guns to cover the North end of the bridge from vehicles. You will be mostly static in this fight. The units you should focus on bringing are mortars, MG34s, only two command teams (left & right flank), an anti tank or inf gun and remainder riflemen.
Keep in mind this battle is vs the AI with morale on. To disband this unit you will not need to capture the VLs. A straight up firefight across the river will drop his morale significantly enough to push the AI off the map. The bonuses to this are not in your favour except the fact he loses all 15 units. Next reinforcement phase he will regain the full attack square deployment box. You will be pushed back beyond some of the houses covering the bridge.
On this particular map, keeping him on the map whittling his forces down piecemeal every battle is in your favour. Your forces get to stay in cover all the time, while he has to march forward on pavement. You only have to concentrate on covering the North end of the bridge. You may have to capture the bridge VL to push his deploy back every now and then. Doing this you have to be careful of his morale. Keeping your men on ambush the entire time and only opening fire on the men coming to the North end of the bridge is key.
If this battle was vs a human opponent your tactics will have some changes. First of all morale will most likely be off, so to disband him you will have to capture the VLs or destroy every last man. This is also not in your favour. In this example, its only day two of the entire campaign. You have to let your unit sit and eventually die (due to attrition) on this map to hold him in that corner. This tactic could also force your opponent to disband his unit at the strategic phase in order to get a better start when a new unit spawns. Manually disbanding works out in your opponents favour in this case.
In Disbanding Part Two, we'll go over the differences in disband rules from CC5 to TLD and the best ways to make disbanding work for you throughout a campaign. There are major differences due to this rule being fixed for The Longest Day.


Many addresses have 50 BTC - remember this topic?
Bitcoin Forum > Bitcoin > Bitcoin Discussion (Moderator: hilariousandco) > Many addresses have 50 BTC - remember this topic?
About a month ago, there was a discussion that mentioned that there are a TON of addresses that have 50 Bitcoins in them, and that 50 BTC was the most (or second most) common balance (possibly second to 1 satoshi balances).
Can anybody direct me to that thread, or get me the stats on that?
- How many Addresses have exactly 50 BTC?
- How many Addresses have received the block award (50 or 25 BTC, plus fees), and have not had any outbound transactions.
Re: Many addresses have 50 BTC - remember this topic?
That metric was pretty much only useful before nearly all of the mining occurred through pools. Nowadays it is pretty much impossible to know if the payment from the pools to the miners are being saved (hoarded, some refer to it as) or spent. The pool operators might be able to determine that to some degree since they have visibility into miner payouts but not much of that information hits the blockchain where it can be measured and even so, not even the pool operators know if the withdrawal address is a hosted (shared) EWallet address or a miner's own (local) wallet.
I agree. But the reason I found it fascinating is that (if i recall correctly), the number of 50BTC addresses was so large - like 40,000 addresses.
40,000 addresses is 2M BTC, or nearly 20% of the mined currency. It just seemed like a ridiculous amount of cash just sitting there.
At that moment, there were 40,631 addresses with 50 BTC on it. It was the most common amount, only outnumbered by empty addresses. It would be difficult to determine how many of these are lost forever or still active, because I can imagine many early adopters, including Satoshi himself, never bothered to transfer the bitcoins to other addresses but still own the keys nonetheless.
Amazing that as of a year ago, over 24% of all bitcoins were held in Addresses of exactly 50 BTC. I bet most were generated during 2009. As soon as mining pools started, it was probably more rare.

Canneseries 'Cryptid' Review: Exploding Hormones Meet Exploding Bodies In This Swedish Horror Series
'Cryptid' is directed by David Berron and written by Morgan Jensen and Henrik Jansson-Schweizer.
By Pramit Chatterjee October 12, 2020
Disclaimer: This review of Cryptid is based on the first episode that was screened at the Cannes International Series Festival.
Here's a weird confession. Before watching this, I didn't know the meaning of 'cryptid'. In case you are with me on this, here's the Merriam-Webster definition of the word: "an animal (such as Sasquatch or the Loch Ness Monster) that has been claimed to exist but never proven to exist". Here's another weird confession. Although I know exactly what cryptid is referring to, I have not seen a single movie or TV show with that word in it and apparently there are a bunch of them with that name. There's a 2020 movie by Brad Rego that's on the way, there's a 2006 movie, there's a 2014 TV series, and there's a 2013 movie by Michael Kazlo. Given the curious cat that I am, I went through some of the trailers for those movies and/or TV shows and well, I can vouch for the fact that this Swedish is a bold addition to this horror sub-genre.
Cryptid is directed by David Berron and written by Morgan Jensen and Henrik Jansson-Schweizer. The cinematography is by Matti Eerikäinen, editing by Tussilago AB, Harri Ylönen, Inka Lahti, and Otto Ikäheimonen, and score by Anders Niska, and Klas Wahl. The cast features Maja-Johanna Englander, Julius Fleischanderl, Astrid Morberg, Johan Hedenberg, Oscar Zia, Angelina Håkansson. The official synopsis for the series states that "as a chain of horrific and unexplainable events start to unfold in a small town on the northern hemisphere, an ensemble of high school students will be forced to face their darkest fears in order to overcome a supernatural force feeding on chaos and the misery of mankind". And boy-o-boy does it make that very apparent in the first few minutes itself by literally exploding what looks like the most popular kid in the school in the middle of the cafeteria.
Before coming to the horror aspect of the show, can I just make one last confession? I love stories set in a small town. If it belongs to the horror genre, then that's great. If it doesn't, it still works for me. Why? Because smaller the confines, the greater the bond between the characters. And there's something neat about a close-knit community surviving relentless attacks from an unidentifiable entity. By the way, by 'close-knit', I don't necessarily mean that they all have to love each other. Knowing each other is just fine because it means that they have some form of shared history between them and seeing how that history effects their current decision is hugely satisfying. The showrunners of Cryptid know that and they reveal those very connections and shared histories between their characters slowly and then start to shake them up.
Alright, about the horror aspect of Cryptid. So, unlike the definition of the title, the first abnormal thing that we get to witness is, as mentioned before, a full-body explosion. We legit don't get any explanation. Sebastian (Oscar Zia) complains about some itching after a, for the sake of keeping things civil in here, cat-eating session. He gets a soda, starts developing boils on his body, and then just explodes. Then through some clever editing, sound-editing and storytelling, we get to know that this isn't the first time something supernatural has happened and that too of this magnitude, which brings me back to the town's history. Much like Dark or Stranger Things or It, there's an undercurrent of anxiety that the elders are witnessing something they've seen before and are trying to brush it under the rug to avoid accepting that what's happening is real. It's an over-exaggerated metaphor for the skeletons small towns usually have and that's exactly why I like it.
Final verdict.
I think I am going to have sleepless nights not just because what I saw was nerve-wracking but also because I got to watch only one episode. They packed so much into that 20-minute long one episode that I want more of Cryptid! I am bummed, but in a good way. This is October i.e. Halloween month and I am always up for quality horror no matter what shape or form it comes in. And, by the looks of it, Cryptid is in good shape and bad form with its use of practical effects, hypnotic cinematography and editing, ominous storytelling, and pitch perfect acting. I wish that it gets an international release so that I and many other fans can watch the entirety of the series.

Double Jeopardy and Due Process did not preclude trial on a bifurcated 922(g) count after the district court declared a mistrial on a 924(c) count.
The defendant in United States v. Figueroa, No. 11-2597 was charged with two counts of drug distribution, carrying a firearm during a drug trafficking offense, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1), possession of a firearm by a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(e). Figueroa admitted selling narcotics twice to an undercover officer. During the second sale, the officer testified that he saw a few inches of what he thought was a gun in Figueroa's waistband. He could not be sure what the object was because it was dark outside. After that same sale, the police pulled over Figueroa's girlfriend's car, in which he was the passenger. During the stop, the police recovered a handgun from the glove compartment. Both Figueroa and his girlfriend denied that they owned or even knew about the gun. At trial, the government prosecuted the 924(c) charge under the theory that Figueroa had a gun in his waistband during the controlled buy. They planned to prosecute the felon-in-possession charge in a bifurcated portion of the trial, adding the theory that Figueroa constructively possessed the gun in the glove compartment.
The jury convicted on the drug counts but was deadlocked on the 924(c) count. The district court declared a mistrial on that count, and originally thought a mistrial on the felon-in-possession count would also be proper. The jurors were dismissed. But the government argued that a finding of manifest necessity could not be made on the felon-in-possession count because the jury was never presented with that charge and its elements. The district judge had a court employee hold the jurors and researched the issue. The Court brought the jurors back for the bifurcated portion of the trial on the 922(g) charge, and the jury convicted. Figueroa appealed, contending that the district court's decision to bring back the jury and hold the bifurcated felon-in-possession portion of the trial violated his Double Jeopardy and Due Process rights under the Fifth Amendment.
On the Due Process issue, the Third Circuit framed the inquiry as whether the jurors were susceptible to outside influences when they were originally told they were dismissed. If the jurors are "undispersed," under the control of the court, and cannot discuss the case with others, they can be recalled. The Third Circuit explained that the district court judge did not allow the jurors to disperse and they were not exposed to any outside influences. Accordingly, the district court did not err when it recalled the jury to hear evidence and argument and deliberate on the felon-in-possession count.
Turning to Figueroa's Double Jeopardy rights, the Third Circuit explained that a reprosecution is only barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause where a mistrial is required by manifest necessity. In this case, there was no manifest necessity for a mistrial on the felon-in-possession count because the jury had not even deliberated on that charge. Therefore, none of the Fifth Amendment's Double Jeopardy protections were implicated in Figueroa's case. The Third Circuit explained that, if anything, the district court's actions were probably required to avoid prejudice to the government.

SOHO NAS/DAS
Of the large number of smart, Ethernet connected TVs, many users never get around to actually connecting the Ethernet cords. With internet connections and home NAS products in offices and bedrooms, running a cord to the TV is usually out of the question. To get around this, QNAP has built a small NAS unit that sits with your set top box and other A/V components.
The QNAP HS-210 is a small, quiet, and attractive NAS product that holds two 3.5" or 2.5" drives, and brings the power of QNAP's award winning OS to the living room. The HS-210 was built for convenience over performance and as such a product, it's fanless. Paired with the right HDDs like Western Digital's Red or Seagate's NAS HDDs, the system is very quiet, even at close distances.
You may think the next talking point is the A/V capabilities through some sort of audio and video output, but that isn't the case. The natural progression of the HS-210 would be a HDMI output, but that didn't happen. Adding HDMI output would move the system away from the Marvell 1.6GHz processor, and to an Intel processor. The move would have increased the price of the HS-210.
At the time of writing, the HS-210 costs $290 at Amazon.
Hardware Specifications and Pricing
Modern NAS servers have moved beyond data storage through a wire network. In order to get the most out of a NAS, you need to look at the extra I/O hardware and the mountain of potential software features.
The Marvell 1.6Ghz processor isn't known for its amazing performance when transferring data to and from a NAS. In a single user environment, the 60 MB/s data transfer speed is enough to get data to your NAS for safekeeping.
At the same time, it's also enough to get a Blu-ray ISO stream or two from the unit to your smart media devices. Even in my home, with five media players, it's enough for us to play more than two high resolution streams at the same time.
The HS-210 is a very compact little unit that has a fairly unique form factor. Shaped like your cable set top box, the HS-210 is at home on a shelf with your other A/V components. The unit has a DHCP function, so you can set the NAS to deliver IP information to your TV and other connected devices without running CAT 5 to the rest of your network.
This setup will give you access to your stored movies, music, and pictures, but not internet access. It's a tradeoff, but should you decide to run the Ethernet cables, the QNAP HS-210 can also serve files to your internal network, and the cloud storage plugin even gives you access to files while away from the home.
Four USB ports (two USB 2.0 ports and two USB 3.0 ports) allow you to plug in external storage to copy data to your NAS. The HS-210 also has a SD card reader for easy back up, play back, and data transfers across the intranet.
Included in the retail package is the HS-210 NAS, Ethernet cables, power brick with cables, screws for mounting drives to the drive sleds, and a quick installation guide. Amazon has the kit available now for $289.99. The unit is covered by a two-year warranty.
PRICING: You can find the QNAP HS-210 for sale below. The prices listed are valid at the time of writing, but can change at any time. Click the link to see the very latest pricing for the best deal.
United States: The DISKLESS QNAP HS-210 retails for $289.99 at Amazon.
NAS products are equal parts hardware performance and software features. One compliments the other in a balanced product. You need more hardware performance to run more software features at the same time.
On the software side, this little box packs a massive amount of features.
Configuring the NAS is also very easy. QNAP's new 4.1 software is the best yet, and if you can't find the feature you want built-in, other applications are only a few clicks away.
We're not going to talk a lot about the retail package for the HS-210. It is a full retail box with lots of information, but a majority of these will sell through e-tail sources, and not in the retail channel.
The unit was packaged very well, with the accessories in a separate box away from the actual NAS. The NAS was secured with heavy closed cell foam, and protected from drops during the shipping process.
We found the accessories in a separate box.
QNAP HS-210
Here, we get our first look at the NAS. The front piano black cover uses a magnet and tabs to stay in place. The first time you reattach the cover, it springs out of your hand. There is a small LED light at the top and in the middle. Unlike many other NAS products, this light is tame and won't draw attention to the unit when used in a living room.
With the cover removed, we see the two HDD drive sleds that can hold either 2.5" or 3.5" drives. The two center buttons allow the sleds to slide out of the unit.
The drive sleds are aluminum, and so are the NAS internals and top cover. This allows heat to come off of the HDDs into the case, and then dissipate into the air. The NAS acts as a giant heat sink, so a fan is not needed.
On the back side we see the four USB ports, Ethernet RJ-45 connection, the power connection, and on the far right, a recessed power button.
Rubber feet keep vibration from passing through the NAS and into your other components.
The top of the unit is a nice brushed aluminum.
Test System Setup
Our NAS test 'system' has migrated to a full 45u rack like what you'd find in a datacenter. There are ten servers that attack the target NAS with 120 Hyper-V installations of Windows 7 64-bit, each with a dedicated gigabit Ethernet port. The systems feed to three Extreme Networks Summit 400-48 switches that link together via Extreme Network's proprietary link cable system. One switch has two 10GbE Xenpak adapters installed. When testing NAS products with 10GbE capability, the NAS connects to the switch via single or dual 10GbE, courtesy of an Intel X520-SR2 installed in the NAS.
This level of testing wouldn't be possible without the help and support from several companies, many of which have little to do with NAS products. We would like to thank AVADirect, Antec, Corsair, GIGABYTE, Icy Dock, Kingston, LSI, Noctua, Rosewill, and Western Digital for their much-appreciated support.
Intel NASPT
The Intel NAS Performance Toolkit (NASPT) is a file system exerciser and analysis tool designed to enable direct measurement of home network attached storage (NAS) performance. Designed to emulate the behavior of an actual application, NASPT uses a set of real-world workload traces gathered from typical digital home applications. Traces of high definition video playback and recording, office productivity applications, video rendering/content creation, and more, provide a broad range of different application behaviors.
TweakTown Custom 120-Client Office Test
The TweakTown Custom 120-client Office Test uses 120 Windows 7 Hyper-V installations and custom software to stress each NAS with traces from Microsoft Office tasks. Both throughput (in Mbits per second) and latency (in milliseconds) are measured.
Western Digital RED - The NAS HDD
TweakTown uses Western Digital RED 1TB hard drives for all of our NAS tests. You can read our full review of the Western Digital RED 1TB here.
Our system shipped with six Toshiba 3.5" 1TB HDDs, and we used a combination of the included drives and WD Reds for our tests.

As expected with this dual bay, the Marvell 1.6GHz processor limits the performance of the WD Red HDDs. The performance results in RAID 1 and RAID 0 are nearly identical, so you don't get a large performance increase with the stripe in all tests. In some tests, like HD Video Record, there was a significant performance increase, but for the most part, the results were very close.
Benchmarks - Real World CIFS File Transfers
This is my new test that pushes us further away from canned benchmarks. In this test, we use Diskbench from Nodesoft to transfer individual files and directories to and from the target NAS. Diskbench records the transfer, and gives us the performance results.
Blu-Ray ISO Transfer - Avatar 2D 3D - 46.6 GB Transfer
MP3 Transfer - Frankie Bones Live at Get Freaky x 10 - 1.85 GB Transfer
Photo Transfer - Sample Picture from SSD Block Test x20 - 153 MB Transfer
Game Transfer - rFactor Directory - 1.62 GB Transfer
All of these files, other than the Avatar Blu-Ray ISO, are part of the Drives with Data Test.
File to NAS
Our latest test for NAS products uses real files and real transfers while we measure the results. In this test, we again see similar results between RAID 1 and RAID 0. When reading data from the NAS, RAID 0 increased the Game Directory Copy performance.
File From NAS
In this set of tests, we're writing data to the NAS from the host PC.
Benchmarks - iSCSI Enterprise Workloads
The QNAP HS-210 isn't design for these workloads, but we still wanted to run them to look deeper into the system's performance. We didn't find any significant patterns in the data.
Benchmarks - iSCSI Workload Latency
It was the same thing with the latency from the iSCSI workload tests; no real pattern and nothing ground breaking to report. This unit is designed for one or two streams at a time, with some light data archiving on the back end.
The lowest priced QNAP desktop dual bay NAS we found at Amazon was $229.00. The TS-220 uses the same Marvell 1.6 GHz processor, and 512 MB of DRAM. Essentially, it has the same specs as the HS-210 that we looked at today. That means QNAP is charging a premium for the HS-210 in the set top box form factor. The unit is nice for the price, and the unique form factor gives it visual appeal in a living room or home theater.
Performance wise, the HS-210 is capable of transferring data at roughly 60 to 80 MB/s with the default plugins enabled. The more plugins you use, the more processing power is used for the background activities.
On the software side, you get QNAP's full arsenal of features, but the processor limits their usefulness when you start stacking them on top of each other. Given the processing power and the form factor, most will stick to the usual uPnP A/V streaming, Photo Station, and Download Station. TweakTown recently published an overview of QNAP's new 4.x operating system.
QNAP put together a nice entry-level unit, but I think everyone will hold out for a more robust model in the HS product family. Although the price will be higher, our dream entry-level NAS in this form factor has an Intel processor, and more importantly, HDMI output. Given all of the options available to put under a TV in a media situation, I just don't think a NAS without playback capabilities is exactly what customers are looking for.
All things considered, this is a good start to the HS product family, and an innovative design. QNAP keeps pushing forward into new areas, and we like watching the progress. This just isn't the final product I think we want to connect our TVs to.

San Diego Chargers notch 38-35 comeback overtime win over San Francisco 49ers
After an abysmal first three quarters, the San Diego Chargers scored the last 17 points of the game to get a win and move to 9-6. The win helps them remain in the playoff race.
By John Gennaro@johnmgennaro Dec 20, 2014, 9:23pm PST
Share All sharing options for: San Diego Chargers notch 38-35 comeback overtime win over San Francisco 49ers
Philip Rivers was terrible and Philip Rivers was great. The San Diego Chargers QB threw three interceptions against the San Francisco 49ers, but also threw three TD passes in the second half of the game. When his team needed him most, Rivers responded.
Who knows if the Chargers win this game if the 49ers have something to play for other than pride, but they came back from down 28-7 at halftime and 35-21 heading into the fourth quarter. That shows incredible resiliency.
Give the Chargers' defense credit once again, as they only allowed 7 points after halftime after looking terrible in the first two quarters.
The easiest path into the playoffs for the Chargers is another win next week, in Kansas City against the Chiefs, and a loss by the Baltimore Ravens to either the Texans tomorrow or the Browns next week. The first step of that scenario is done, with this win over the now 7-8 49ers, and we'll see how the rest goes.

I used to be able to download the episodes; was that feature deleted?
Yes...it was last year as a cost-saving measure. It costs less in royalties to stream than it does to allow downloads.
I think I have missed something here. I can not find any new shows. #121 (Christmas) is the last one listed. Each week an upcoming show is listed and nothing ever shows up. Are they being put up on another site? Can someone let me know what is going on please?
No, the Captain was on hiatus.
Thanks. My timing couldn't be worse. Looks like all I needed to do was wait just a few more hours and all would be right in the world again. Good to see he is back.

keywords: The Cup
The bullet that stopped an illicit Irish Mass
The man loses his temper, and tells his son something he has never told a soul: that one day in Donegal, during the time when the penal laws forbade Catholics to assemble for Mass, he had shot and killed a priest just as he elevated the host. The son, himself a priest, covers his face, as his father shouts that he never regretted that shot, that the priest and his fellow conspirators had got what they deserved.
The mortal utterance
Anne Elvey
It is a coal picked from the fire at the altar of mercy. A gust billows — smoke fills the tent pitched for a god. One red note pulses where the cherub blows. A seraph's breath blisters the lips.
The public, the Church, and asylum seekers
'Like many Australians, I had hoped that the dastardly plan announced on 19 July would stop the boats in the short term, as a stop-gap measure. It is dismaying to learn that appropriate consultations had not occurred with Indonesia with the result that the very people who were to receive the shock and awe message are yet to receive it. There's only one thing worse than shock and awe; that's shock and awe that doesn't work because you haven't done your homework.' 43rd Barry Marshall Memorial Lecture, Trinity College Theological School, 14 August 2013.
Corruption and other stumbling blocks to PNG solution
Walter Hamilton
A constitutional challenge in PNG to the resettlement agreement could quickly destroy any disincentive value as far as people smugglers are concerned. Under the country's constitution, foreigners may not be detained unless they have broken the law in entering the country. Since the asylum seekers are being sent there against their will they cannot be held to have entered illegally.
George Zimmerman in the Bizzaro world of US gun laws
Fearful men should not be able to walk suburban streets carrying hidden revolvers. Yet that's the Bizarro universe the US finds itself in. Politicians in the US and Australia take note: if you spend your time creating a climate of anxiety, whipping up hysteria or building walls in order to score political points, the eventual result is going to be children lying dead in your streets or drowned off your shores.
Why I still love the Catholic Church
Sean Faircloth, a US director of one of the Dawkins Institutes committed to atheism, raised what has already become a hoary old chestnut, the failure of Francis when in Argentina during the Dirty Wars to adequately defend his fellow Jesuits who were detained and tortured by unscrupulous soldiers. Being a Jesuit, I thought I was peculiarly well situated to respond. I confess to having got a little carried away.
Turkish democracy gets the shake-up it needs
William Gourlay
Turkey's increasingly dictatorial prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan paid little heed to last week's violent demonstrations, dismissing protesters as looters and blaming social media for inflaming the situation. The protests are hardly on par with Egypt's government-toppling anti-Mubarak demonstrations, yet may still lead to a rejuvenation of Turkish democracy.
The seams of the earth start to bulge
Jena Woodhouse
Sometimes the dark bird of discord is loosed, to circle massif and savannah, inciting acts of mayhem, orgies of slaughter. But sometimes the white bird of hope is released and the tears it weeps restore something like order.
Church and ordained ministry in the 21st century
Fr Frank Brennan's keynote address at the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Clergy Assembly, St Clement's, Gaylong, on 22 May 2013
Margaret Thatcher versus the Scots
Duncan MacLaren
While any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind', I must admit to pouring a glass of good malt at the news of Thatcher's passing. The Southern English may laud her as the greatest prime minister after Churchill but for us Scots she was a hate figure who in the last days of her premiership scarcely dared to cross the border for fear of being assassinated.
Recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People in the Constitution
Frank Brennan's address 'Recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People in the Constitution' presented at the 18th National Schools Constitutional Convention, The Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, 21 March 2013.
The difference one pope can make
Neil Ormerod
There are 57 cardinals over 72 years of age. If Francis is in office for eight years or more he'll have a direct hand in replacing each of them. Just as John Paul II shaped the college of cardinals for the election of Benedict, so Francis is likely to shape the college for the election of his successor. This is a long term impact.

EZH2 is a histone methylase specific to histone 3 lysine 27, which is associated with breast cancer.
EZH2 expression is induced by estradiol (E2) in vitro and in vivo.
EZH2 expression is also induced by EDCs (BPA and DES).
ERs coordinate with MLLs during E2/BPA/DES-induced EZH2 expression.
Mechanistic insight of EZH2 gene regulation and its endocrine disruption.
Enhancer of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a methyltransferase specific to histone 3 lysine 27, is a critical player in gene silencing and is overexpressed in breast cancer.
Our studies demonstrate that EZH2 is transcriptionally induced by estradiol in cultured breast cancer cells and in the mammary glands of ovariectomized rats.
EZH2 promoter contains multiple functional estrogen-response elements. Estrogen receptors (ERs) and ER coregulators such as mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) histone methylases (MLL2 and MLL3) and histone acetyltransferase CBP/P300 bind to the EZH2 promoter in the presence of estradiol and regulate estradiol-induced EZH2 expression. EZH2 expression is also increased upon exposure to estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as bisphenol-A (BPA) and diethylstilbestrol (DES). Similar to estradiol, BPA and DES-induced EZH2 expression is coordinated by ERs, MLLs and CBP/P300.
In summary, we demonstrate that EZH2 is transcriptionally regulated by estradiol in vitro and in vivo, and its expression is potentially dysregulated upon exposure to estrogenic EDCs.
Histone Methyltransferase EZH2 Is Transcriptionally Induced by Estradiol as Well as Estrogenic Endocrine Disruptors Bisphenol-A and Diethylstilbestrol, Journal of Molecular Biology, Volume 426, Issue 20, Pages 3426–3441, doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2014.07.025, 9 October 2014.

Another story about the local implementation of the new crack guidelines
Today the local details of crack retroactivity come from this piece in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, headlined "Crack cocaine inmates may gain early release." Here are snippets:
Convicted crack dealer John J. Betts got a break in his federal prison sentence Friday — one of seven men and women who had their sentences reduced in federal court in St. Louis under new guidelines aimed at reducing the punishment faced by crack cocaine defendants.... Betts' sentence was cut by 21 months Friday, but he will actually be freed only a month earlier than scheduled, as his release date had already been moved up for good behavior.
Friday's hearings in front of U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber were the first in eastern Missouri, but judges also can handle the resentencings without a formal court hearing. U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry resentenced three defendants on Wednesday, and U.S. District Judge Carol Jackson is believed to have been the first in Missouri or Illinois to order a resentencing when she signed paperwork last month. She was second only to federal judges in Oregon, said Doug Burris, chief federal probation officer in St. Louis, and acted because it meant immediate freedom from a halfway house for that inmate. All inmates resentenced so far have been in halfway houses, and were put at the front of the line because a recalculation of their sentence could mean freedom and no one wants them to have to serve an extra day, Burris said....
The real effect on Betts, like many of the others, will be somewhat more modest, thanks to credit they earned while in prison for good behavior or attending treatment programs. The most anyone on Friday received was a year off, but officials said that others could get up to two years off their sentence.

My Dinner With Siri: A Review of Steve Jobs
By Former Contributor
On 23 October 2015 23 October 2015
With more bugs than the new iPhone, Steve Jobs needs to install yet another update.
By Man vs. Rock
In this day and age of endless remakes and repetitive reboots, it's refreshing to see that Hollywood has finally given us something different and made a movie about Steve Jobs. For those of you who don't know who he is, Steve Jobs was the guy who perfected Apple Maps and made the creepy black turtleneck popular in the 1990's. He died in 2011 from pancreatic cancer probably caused by Windows Vista.
While he's clearly not as important as Bill Gates or Jean Claude Van Damme, studio executives need something to do in order to pay for their mistresses and bath salts, and so they've made not just one, but TWO Steve Jobs films over the past two years. If I recall correctly, the first Jobs movie made Ashton Kutcher into a household name and single-handedly saved the U.S. Economy due to its ticket sales. However, in a controversial move, Jobs was shunned by the Academy Awards because it would have been the obvious, runaway winner of every single Oscar. Just goes to show you how political and out of touch Hollywood is these days, unlike the music, sports, and television industries. Thanks Obama …
So does this movie do justice to the classic Ashton Kutcher version? Unfortunately, it doesn't even come close. First though, I have to give credit to whoever thought of the title Steve Jobs to distinguish it from Jobs. I bet the meeting went something like this:
Head Studio Exec: Guys, we've got to come up with a title that's different than the "Jobs" movie that literally came out two years ago.
Panicked Execs: Impossible!
Junior Exec: Oh, I've got it! How about … STEVE Jobs!
Head Studio Exec: Brilliant
[Execs proceed to snort 1000 lbs of coke and kill three hookers]
So where does Steve Jobs fall flat? It starts with stiff lead actor Michael Fassbender, who needs to take every acting lesson he can from Ashton Kutcher if he wants to stop toiling in no-name, indie films like Prometheus and 12 Years a Slave, and become a real, bona-fide star. But despite his underwhelming performance, part of the blame has to go to inexperienced writer Aaron Sorkin and director Danny Boyle for not taking advantage of Fassbender's largest talent.
Indeed, the complete lack of full frontal nudity in Steve Jobs is troubling and really demonstrates how little effort was put into this film. If Sorkin or Boyle ever find work as key grips in Hollywood again, hopefully they learn from this amateur mistake.
Steve Jobs can also learn a thing or two from another Michael Fassbender film, X-Men: Days of Future Past, which had to meld Fassbender's X-Men prequel with Brett Ratner's far superior X-Men: the Last Stand. In Jobs of Future Past, directed by Josh Trank, audiences will be mesmerized when Ashton Kutcher uses his Apple Watch to travel back in time to team up with Fassbender and stop Mark Zuckerberg from poisoning America's water supply. But until the Steve Jobs franchise installs a new update, I'm shutting it down for good, and deleting all files in my hard drive with a bottle or two of King Cobra.
How Much Money Will it Make:
In sum, Steve Jobs, while ambitious, has less personality than Siri, and more bugs than the new iPhone. As for how much money Steve Jobs will make, based on the super-complicated algorithms I stole from that waiter at Denny's, I predict that Steve Jobs will make:
$12.4 million, or in layman's terms, just enough to pay Jared Fogle's lawyers.

Fred Gutzeit: An energetic matrix
Studio Portrait, 2014, SigNature series, Acrylic on foamcore
Contributed by John Mendelsohn / Fred Gutzeit died on January 3, 2022 at the age of 81, leaving a legacy of inventive paintings, watercolors, prints, and installations. Over six decades, his art embodied a love for the visible world, and a spirit of inspired enquiry into the invisible energies that lie beneath it. This notion of exploring "deep nature" and the discoveries of modern physics were animating forces throughout his career. He spent his life as an artist in Lower Manhattan, living and working in a loft on the Bowery, and was a vital part of the downtown art scene from the 1960s until his passing.
Gutzeit had a distinctive set of artistic talents, and a joyous, idiosyncratic independence. He had the ability to create morphing visual fields that became poetic evocations of life as an energetic matrix. These qualities allowed him to forge his own creative path, one that both led to recognition, and at times, to a struggle to have his work fully seen and appreciated. Through the vagaries of a life in art, Gutzeit was known for a nearly obsessive work ethic, for his generous support of other artists, and for his wry humor and personal warmth.
Gutzeit's story as an artist began in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was born in 1940 to immigrant parents – his father was from Germany and his mother from Austria. His excellence in art was recognized early on, starting in elementary school, with the principal's suggestion that he take private art classes, through his studying at the Cleveland Institute of Art, where he was awarded full scholarships for three years, and graduated in 1962.
Fred Gutzeit, Future Life Puzzle,
2021, acrylic on paper on canvas, 72 x 72 inches
In a sign of his artistic independence, Gutzeit turned down Yale University's offer of a full scholarship to attend its MFA Program, and instead accepted a traveling scholarship to Mexico from the Cleveland Institute of Art. He settled in San Miguel de Allende for 10 months where he produced numerous drawings, paintings, and prints.
In 1963, Gutzeit moved to New York and began studying lithography at the Pratt Graphic Art Center. He received an MFA in studio art from Hunter College in 1979. Living on the Bowery, with its "Skid Row", both exposed him to the harsh realities of urban life, and opened his eyes to the visual power of the real world. This insight was expressed in a series of large-scale paintings of concrete sidewalks and chain link fences. Keenly observed, these works combined a kind of heightened realism with a sense of abstraction.
In the same spirit, Gutzeit started collecting discarded work gloves, which he then bejeweled and encrusted with found materials. The psychedelic ornamentation of these objects anticipates the richness of pattern in the work that he would go on to produce.
In the mid-1980's, Gutzeit began painting in the Catskill Mountains of New York. He wrote, "Rather than looking 'out at the landscape', I looked down into a scene. And, thinking of looking down into our natural world led me to start reading about particle physics. For me ideas about quantum mechanics became a kind of mythology that I could push my painting to represent abstractly."
Gutzeit's early representational images of nature informed the new Deep Nature work that followed, initiated by a series of intensely patterned drawings in black and white. In the early 2000s, a momentous realization for Gutzeit was seeing into nature's visually rhythmic phenomena, such as rippling water and the bark of an oak tree, and reimagining them as graphic patterns that resembled the waves and distorted grids of Op Art.

A major series of abstract, densely rhythmic paintings that followed expressed the artist's concern with nature, physics, and opticality. Gutzeit wrote of this work, "a static square made dynamic by black and white made from red, yellow, and blue—expressing the notion of vibrations evolving into shapes as a play on the quantum world of 'wave particle duality'— to play the shapes as a musical composition — done six-foot square as a human scale."
At the same time, two more factors were influencing his paintings: mathematical representations of space/time, and the digital processing of images. The mathematical models that intrigued him were of Calabi-Yau Manifolds, representing folded space, whose properties apply to theoretical physics, particularly in superstring theory. These forms appear in the work as vortexes of energy, bulging, twisting, and reforming in constant flux.
Gutzeit's paintings from the 2000s have this quality of manic transformation fully revealed, with digital images of unfurling geometric patterns bent and deformed. The original digital outputting has been tiled and affixed to the canvas, and made into a continuous image enhanced by direct painting, with the image's fractal-like repetitions at radically changing scales.
Through the 2000s examples of this work appeared in solo exhibitions, at venues including TimePrism, Prague; Mansfield Art Center, Mansfield, OH; Rupert Ravens Contemporary, Newark, NJ; and Sideshow Gallery, Brooklyn, NY. In 2007, Pocket Utopia in Brooklyn presented an installation that wrapped around the entire gallery. It was inspired by the work of the wave paintings of the artist Lee Lozano, who Gutzeit knew in 1970.

In SigNature, Gutzeit's last major series, he used the signature of individuals writing their initials as the basis for drawings and paintings. The signatures turn into multi-colored arabesques, arrayed against flooding watercolor or intensely patterned fields. Larger grid paintings, completed just before the artist's death, combine many of the signature pieces in miniature, and are overlaid by linear tracery, with the individual elements joining a mass of impersonal energy.
Lynn Maliszewski, in her review for The Brooklyn Rail in 2014, wrote "Gutzeit knows that even abstract renditions of reality link to observations. His attempt to render the murky sandpits of identity through abstract means relies on thought rather than chance. He captures an essence, as inexplicable as first impressions or body language, through sinuous form and fervent mayhem."
The SigNature paintings were exhibited in solo exhibitions at Tregoning Gallery, Cleveland; and Brian Morris Gallery, Pratt Manhattan, and VanDerPlas Gallery, all in New York. The series was part of a 2021 retrospective exhibition, Deep Nature Unfolded: Fred Gutzeit, Paintings from 1965 to 2021, which was presented by the Catherine Fosnot Art Gallery and Center, New London, CT.

Gutzeit was the recipient of three Pollack-Krasner Foundation Awards, and fellowships from the Vermont Studio Center, Soaring Gardens Artists' Retreat, and the Helliker-Lahotan Foundation. His work is in the collections of the Shenandoah Museum of Contemporary Art, Strasburg, VA; Cleveland State University, Cleveland, OH; and National Gallery of Art, US Department of State, Library of Congress, National Building Museum, all in Washington, DC.
Gutzeit was an adjunct professor at City University of New York from 1993-2021. He is survived by his partner, the artist Elizabeth Riley.

The Magical Music of Harry Potter, Live in Concert
A one-of-a-kind film and music experience: The Magical Music of Harry Potter – Live in Concert, now with a Weasley – Chris Rankin! The concert features the best music from the films with the London Symphonic & Philharmonic Film Orchestra
The Harry Potter films are some of the most successful in the history of cinema. The award-winning film music is now touring the world as a unique concert evening for the first time. Original actors, star soloists, a choir and symphony orchestra will bring the magical music of Harry Potter to life. Visitors will experience the most significant musical moments of Harry Potter. The program includes the film soundtracks of four-time Oscar winner John Williams, Patrick Doyle, Nicolas Hooper, and Oscar winner Alexander Desplat as well as the best of the music from 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child', which has received many awards in London and New York, becoming one of the most celebrated theatrical shows in the world.
The evening presents a musical journey into a magical world with friendship, adventure, love, and cohesion in the dangerous world of magicians. Visitors can expect to be immersed into a world of enchantment through the most advanced technology of light, sound, and laser staging as well as a unique sound dimension that is guaranteed to leave them with goosebumps. The visual and magical effects are set to make the hearts of all Harry Potter fans beat a little faster. Our audience favourite, Chris Rankin, Percy Weasley himself, will attend all the shows creating an unforgettable experiencefull of fun and good humour.
The audience will experience the musical 'Best of Harry Potter' from all eight films and works written by four talented composers. John Williams (Star Wars, ET, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park) composed the music for the first three films, like the famous "Hedwig's Theme", the leitmotif of the series and "Double Trouble" – the classic Hogwarts motif with a Children's choir, as well as the funny "Aunt Marge´s Waltz" and "Witches, Wands and Wizards". Titles like the "Hogwarts Hymn" by Patrick Doyle, from the fourth Harry Potter film will bring the audience into the mysterious and dark world of the Triwizard Tournament. Nicholas Hooper composed "Dumbledore´s Farewell" and helped to shape and mature the Harry Potter music in the fifth and sixth films alongside Alexandre Desplat with "Lily`s Theme", who composed the music for the last two instalments of the film series. Combined these composers and music will create a grandiose and unforgettable musical experience.
Chris Rankin – The Weasley!
Chris is recognised internationally as Percy Weasley, a role he played throughout the Harry Potter film franchise. At the age of 16, Chris wrote a letter applying for an audition for 'Harry Potter' and has never looked back.

→ Jew hating and killing is on the rise
Jew hating and killing is on the rise
On Behalf of NachtLaw, P.C. | May 6, 2019 | Discrimination |
We are changing as a nation, and in one particular respect, not for the better. Jew hating and Jew killing is on the rise.
Jews have generally felt safe to worship and gather as communities in the US since the founding of the Republic. AntiSemitism was prevalent for most of US history, but much less so than in Europe. Children were bullied in schools, and there was routine housing, educational and workplace discrimination until the mid 1960s. Indeed, Jews were prevented from living in certain neighborhoods and communities, and their numbers kept low in many universities. The Academy Award winning film Gentleman's Agreement, with Gregory Peck, provides a good description of US anti Semitism in the late 1940s. However, even with these discriminatory features, American life was safe for Jews and in marked contrast to Jewish life in Europe. American synagogues were not subjected to violent attacks. There was no history of "pogroms" here, violent property-destroying and murderous attacks by mobs.
Jews who moved to America above all found safety as well as freedom. Jews moved to this country in large numbers between 1880-1920, along with Italians and other European groups seeking a better life. All of those groups found religious freedom, and the US has been a safe place to live and pray as one sees fit.
In the past six months, two gun attacks on worshippers in synagogues have occurred, one in Pittsburgh and one in San Diego. Why?
We now have multiple organized gangs of Jew-haters gathering in groups in many places in the country. They have forums on the web where they meet and encourage each-other. Last Saturday in San Diego, a college student attempted mass murder in a synagogue, but his gun jammed, so he only killed one person and injured about a dozen. This man identified as a white supremacist. So did the man who went into a synagogue shooting with a gun in Pittsburgh six months ago.
Remember also that two white supremacists also blew up the Federal building on Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995 killing 168 people and injuring 680 others. (Hitler's birthday was April 20. This is a nostalgic time of year for white supremacists.)
These trends have been years in the making. I worked as a US Senate aide for the US Senate Committee now called Homeland Security for John Glenn from 1987-89. One issue I worked on then was the growing potential of extremist groups to commit terrorist acts here. Unfortunately, the cultural trends apparent thirty years ago continue to develop.
It is not an accident that the same groups of people who target Jews also target American and US Government institutions. The United States has been a haven for the persecuted going back to its colonial history. The country has become strong precisely in the past 250 years because it attracts people from throughout the world who develop their own communities here, get their children educated, work hard, start and build businesses and help the country flourish in a myriad of ways. Jews, who number less than two percent of the population, have thrived in the United States. The success of Jews in the US, in contrast to say, Russia or Germany or Poland, all of which had large Jewish populations at one point, is because the dominant religious and ethnic cultures in the US have tolerated Jews instead of persecuting them. Moreover, the Bill of Rights and US legal traditions have protected Jews from the worst forms of discrimination.
Jews have, for the most part, now completely integrated into mainstream American life. Indeed, most minority groups and many white Christians would not consider Jews to be a minority at all.
The meaning of Jewish success in America for the white supremacist is the symbol that any group can become largely integrated and successful Americans, while retaining some pride in a distinct ethnic or religious identity. For the white supremacist, who harkens to an imaginary fantasy point in US history, the ultimate scary idea is that America is a place where we all can be Americans and succeed, no matter our ethnicity, national origin, religious tradition or race. A good popular culture film that examined the culture of white supremacists is Betrayed, with Debra Winger, from 1988. It shows how an ideology that hates Jews is linked to other racism and the hatred of the US Government. Last year's Spike Lee film, BlacKkKlansman, nominated for Best Picture, is also educational on these points.
What can we do as Americans? We must decide as a nation that maintaining our identity as a safe place to be of any background, including Jewish, is important. We must be vigilant against anti-Semitism, and not encourage false fantasies that this country belongs to people of a particular ethnic or religious heritage. We must speak out when the anti Semites try to normalize hatred and treat Jew-haters as pariahs.
Ask yourself, how many synagogue shootings or similar incidents must occur before you speak out?

Music Center's Grand Opening: Food, Dance and "Petting Zoo"
It's as if the Upper Valley Music Center is finally home, but in a place where it has never been before. How is that possible? "Context is so important," said Executive Director Ben Van Vliet, while standing in the doorway of the brick building on Lebanon NH's South Park Street, looking out on Colburn Park. "We're directly across from Opera North and the Lebanon Opera House. The Lebanon Ballet School is just to the left on the pedestrian mall. If you look to the right, there's the Lebanon Library, and if you crane your neck a little, you can just about see the AVA Gallery." The UVMC sees itself as a vital part of the fabric of these local titans of the arts and learning, a collaboration now made easier by physical proximity and the optics of having them all gathered around the town green. Throw in the lobster rolls from Boisvert's food truck, and we agreed—there may be little need to leave downtown Lebanon, ever.
Previously the parlor of the Wood family home circa 1810, now under renovation. Beethoven was still alive when this home was built. Note the columns.
The music school is moving from its Hanover Street location to the 1810-era brick building that most recently housed the Downs Rachlin law firm. Renovation is underway to prepare the site for its grand opening on Saturday, September 9, 2017. Ribbon-cutting is at 1:00 p.m. There will be two world premieres of musical pieces commissioned by the UVMC for the occasion. The celebration will include food, tours of the building, a mini-music festival, a contra dance, and a "petting zoo" of musical instruments.
The stats: The UVMC is a community music school that has existed since 1995; Van Vliet began there as a teacher and has been the Executive Director since 2013. There are 5 full-time and 25 part-time faculty. Over the past seven years, enrollment shot from 250 to last year's total of 889 students, 572 under the age of 18; the remaining 317 were adults. The current catalog lists 36 courses plus individual lessons and workshops, including Singing for the Stage, Beginning and Intermediate Fiddle, Piano Performance, and monthly Slow Jams.
Van Vliet believes—and science supports it—that early childhood is an optimal time to spark a person's connection to music. The UVMC offers many programs for kids, including one for toddlers (0 to 4 years of age) and parents called "Music Together," an infant program (0 to 8 months in age) in conjunction with the Women's Health Resource Center, and the famed Suzuki Program in which very young children learn to play the violin, and Van Vliet adds, the viola, cello, flute and guitar. A new program—Music Together: Generations—is scheduled at the DHMC Aging Resource Center for this fall.
More information about the Upper Valley Music Center can be found here, and specifics about the Grand Opening are here. Admission to the celebration on September 9 is complimentary and in the spirit of a community music school, all are welcome.
