Netizens Call Out Jae For Allegedly "Lying" In His Apology To JAMIE
They believe Jae knew better!
Jae since released another apology through a live stream explaining that he's spoken to JAMIE and they will meet up to discuss the matters. He has also said that, until then, he will be taking a break from streaming until the situation has been sorted.
You need a break to reflect on what you did, come back when you've become a better person. pic.twitter.com/nzubqxkFwX

Jae recently came under fire after making a comment during his Twitch stream about the image and character of fellow K-Pop idol JAMIE. In the stream, Jae talked to his viewers on different topics, brought up JAMIE, describing her in a way that netizens found distasteful and derogatory.
Okay, now that I'm not in K-Pop anymore, I can say this. Why is JAMIE trying to be a thot? That's right, I said it, tell her! I said it. Tell her!
— Jae
The term "Thot" is a derogatory term that refers to a woman who has many casual sexual encounters or relationships.
Many netizens were shocked by the comment as Jae and JAMIE are known to be friends and have done several projects together, including After School Club and DIVE Studios' podcasts. Although some fans defended the comments because they're "friends," others think he overstepped boundaries with his comment.
"Jae is a good friend, he knows that he make jokes like this towards Jamie" no he fucking can't, look what he did. Imagine waking up and seeing all over the internet a video of your long time friend insulting you…. It's not okay, and I hate how most of you let it slide pic.twitter.com/HQuYrwiBOf

When JAMIE heard about the comments, she responded on Twitter and was unsurprisingly shocked by what Jae had said. She also shared another tweet where she shared her displeasure at women being looked down upon and being the victim for the benefit of others online.
I hate that we as women have to be subjected to mens humor to appease incels on the internet period
— JIMINxJAMIE (@jiminpark07) January 9, 2022
After JAMIE responded and he was met with negative comments from netizens, Jae apologized for the situation.
After the apology was shared, many netizens raised concerns about how genuine and accurate the statement was. In particular, they spoke about the part in the apology where Jae explained, "What I thought was friendly banter, I now realize was not."
In no way was I referencing any kind of physical behavior or energy (trying to take a slight at Jamie) but rather the aura of what people refer to as a 'baddie' and thought the two were synonymous.

In particular, Jae's apology implied that he wasn't aware of the meaning of the word "Thot" and the negative connotations surrounding the terms. Many netizens shared evidence proving that Jae was aware of the word's meaning.
One of those was a screenshot shared on Jae's Instagram where a user had sent him the message, "U a thot." Netizens believe that Jae's replies showcase that he knew the negative connotations of the phrase.

Another clip that was shared came from another stream Jae did. During the video, the hosts discussed some of the usernames. A few of those mentioned could be deemed "Sexual" like "bussybandit" and "buttmunchies." He then described them as "Thot ass names."
Many then shared that Jae must've known how negative and derogatory because of the words in the stream. After using the word "Thot," his words seemed to imply that he thought JAMIE might not be happy with his words.
She's going to call me and be like, 'Why did you call me this?' I can't believe she's like a little sister to me. Please, lawyers, don't call me. I have money. JAMIE, I'm poor. Please, just let me be.
When netizens started sharing these clips, many claimed that his apology didn't seem "genuine" due to the fact that they believed he knew the seriousness of the term when he said it.
They then explained that this evidence made them think that Jae was "lying" in the apology about not knowing what he said.
yet to address these comments and has only released his initial statement. You can read about the situation below.
JAMIE Responds To Jae's Derogatory Remark About Her Image On Live Stream

In 1965, Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel®, made an astounding observation: the capacity of computer chips – in terms of a number of transistors or computational power – doubled with each new chip generation, i.e. every 18-24 months. Mr. Moore argued that this trend, if continued, would give rise to an exponential increase in computational power with time. Today, more than 40 years after this observation, the development of computers is still obeying Moore's law with astonishing accuracy.
Such development was possible due to continued miniaturization of the computer chip structure. For example, the Intel® Core™2 processor family is built using 45 nm technology. Industrial research and development efforts already aim at the next chip generation which will be based on light sources with a wavelength of 13 nm, which means that each elementary computational gate will consist of only a few thousands of atoms. If continued further, this trend will sooner or later reach a point where each bit of information is represented by only a few charge carriers. We shall cross a fundamental boundary where information technology can no longer rely on the laws of macroscopic world (classical physics). Microscopic, quantum mechanical phenomena will make themselves felt in technical matters.
The world according to quantum mechanics is very different from that of our everyday experience. In the classical world we do not expect wave phenomena (e.g. light waves) to behave like soccer balls nor a soccer ball to show an interference pattern when it hits the goal. Even less so do we expect the ball to traverse both goals at the same time or to change its direction in flight just because the audience is watching. But phenomena like these are common in quantum mechanics. In other words, entering the quantum domain will render most present concepts of information processing and transmission useless, replacing them with new ones. The entire field of information technology will be revolutionized in the same way discoveries of Einstein and Planck revolutionized physics some 100 years ago.
While this revolution is not due tomorrow, there is little doubt it is to happen within one or two generations. We can expect the task of aligning the theory and practice of information processing to the new requirements of the quantum age to be an enormous challenge to physicists, engineers, and computer scientists. Therefore, it is wise not to postpone this work until it becomes pressing, but begin today elaborating the new concepts, intuition, and technologies of quantum information that will replace their classical counterparts.
One may ask, if quantum technology is so much trouble, why bother with developing it instead of staying safely within the classical bounds? It turns out that the quantum revolution opens up a range of fundamentally new computational opportunities. For example, a quantum computer – a hypothetical computational device operating according to the laws of quantum mechanics – could crack the security code on our cash cards much faster than any classical computer. Another example of the astounding features of quantum mechanics is a family of communication protocols called quantum cryptography which is able to ensure the safety of data transmission on the basis of physical laws instead of numerical complexity. These protocols are already being used by banks in an attempt to improve the security of communication between branches.
There are several quantum systems that have a potential as the basis for future quantum information technology, and it is not known at present, which one is the best. Research groups all over the world are investigating advantages and disadvantages of various candidates. Our group's effort is concentrated on one such candidate – quantum light, and its fundamental particle – the photon.
Because the energy of the photon is much higher than the average temperature of the outside world, it is not likely to interact with it, thus losing the information it carries. Photons are easy to manipulate, cheap to produce, and don't leave a mess when disposed of. Moreover, one can build an entire quantum information processor by means of single-photon sources, detectors, and simple linear optical elements such as mirrors.
The most important, unique advantage of quantum light is its ability to be an information carrier. No matter what future quantum computers will be built of, they will certainly communicate by means of photons. Even if we fail to develop quantum computers, there's still quantum cryptography - a technology which already exists today but needs improvement. Now, we can securely transmit information over 100, maybe 150 kilometers. In order to make this technology useful for everyday life, we need to enhance this range by at least an order of magnitude.
The goal of our group is to develop basic construction blocks for the future building of quantum optical technology. There are three main lines of research. In the first one we study techniques of engineering quantum light, aiming to learn how to synthesize its complex quantum states and apply them for information processing. In the second one, we construct an interface between light and atomic media to solve those quantum information tasks that cannot be solved with light alone. These are related to quantum memory, quantum repeaters, conversion of the light states between different frequency modes, and routing of quantum optical information flows. Finally, we study quantum tomography of quantum states and processes - an art of measuring quantum objects. Because quantum objects are very small, they are difficult to measure: every time we try to measure them we change them. Quantum tomography addresses this challenge by preparing multiple copies of the quantum object and performing slightly different measurements on different copies.


At this time of the year we have more vegetables than we can eat so they are often slowly roasted and then frozen. This recipe is a good way to use them up. Technically, it is not a stew but it is 'stew like'. I make quite a bit and in large quantities, it can be put on to cook and left for even longer than specified in the recipe. It also freezes very well. The mixture slowly cooks down, the vegetables go all soft and squishy and create a delicious and flavoursome sauce. There is no need to be exact with the amounts of each vegetable, aim for a colouful blend.
During the slow cooking process the vegetable and chicken will create quite a bit of liquid. If to watery evaporate some of the liquid by reducing on the stovetop or thicken with some leftover gravy or commercial gravy mix. Chop or shred any leftovers to make a delicious sauce for pasta.
Preheat oven to 140 dec C.
Slice eggplant into eight wedges lengthwise.
Slice capsicum /peppers lengthwise, remove seeds and membranes, cut into long strips approximately 1.5 cm wide.
Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and then into pieces approximately 3 cm long.
Pour chopped tomatoes, herbs and chilli if using and salt and pepper over the chicken mixture. Bake for a further 40 minutes.
If I use a bag of frozen zucchini I add it with the tomatoes.


I joined the International Thriller Writers Association earlier this year -- just another attempt to help hone my mystery/thriller writing skills. For those into thrillers, check out their web page at http://www.thebigthrill.org/ There is a monthly e-newsletter with the most recent print and electronic releases as well as interviews with prominent writers. Good stuff!
I am pleased to announce that Color of Blood is now available as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble, eBookPie, the Sony eReader, Kobo, Gardner's (UK), and, Baker and Taylor. This novel was originally published in 2008 by Eaking Press, and is now out of print.
Journalist Clay Aker teams with up with Texas Ranger Julio Ramirez in search of Clay's brother, Jack, an environmental activist who disappeared from the Texas Gulf Coast with his girlfriend, Vicky, while sampling for mercury poisoning. Was their disappearance an accident? Clay is determined to discover what happened to his brother as murder, theft, kidnapping and environmental pollution complicate the search. This novel received a Reader Views Award for Fiction in the suspense/mystery/thriller genre in 2009.
I discovered something about e-publishing. First, print books and e-books must have their own individual ISBN. The International Standard Book Number is unique to each title and used for ordering purposes. It is also desirable that covers for print books and for e-books differ, although that is confusing to many readers and not aways followed. Soooo, Sever the Darkness (ebook) has a new cover! San Antonio artist and friend E. Gordon West drew a charcoal rendering of his interpretation of a key scene in the novel. Be sure to post reviews using this cover if you are reading the ebook.
I have completed my first biography. It's a 390 page biographical sketch for a family from South Texas that will have limited publication for family members and friends. Not only did I have the privilege of sharing this family's history, but I learned that writing non-fiction is vastly different than writing fiction.


I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. Any suggestions??

MEI Blog: It's official: Prof TC Rao is the "Father of Indian Minerals Engineering"
I have known Prof. Tadimety Chakrapani (TC) Rao for almost 30 years, ever since, in his capacity as Head of the Department of Fuel and Mineral Engineering at the Indian School of Mines, he invited me to Dhanbad in 1989 to present a course of lectures. Even then I was aware of his reputation and of his early pioneering work on modelling, particularly of hydrocyclones, with Prof. Alban Lynch at the JKMRC in Australia.
We have kept in touch since then and he was in Cornwall in 1991 for Reagents '91.
Our last meeting was at the IMPC in New Delhi in 2012, where the chairman of his keynote lecture introduced him as "the Father of Indian Mineral Processing". In 2014 it was my privilege to interview him for the MEI Blog (posting of 16th July 2014).
Now I am pleased to report that during the inaugural function of the XVII International Seminar on Mineral Processing Technology (MPT-2018) on 10th October 2018, Prof. Rao was conferred the honour of "Father of (Indian) Mineral Engineering". The citations read "In recognition and appreciation of immense contributions to the mineral and coal processing education, research and industry in an illustrious career spanning three decades, IIT(ISM) Dhanbad & IIME are honoured in conferring the award of "Father of (Indian) Mineral Engineering" on Professor Tadimety Chakrapani Rao".
Congratulations TC on behalf of us all at MEI.
Thank you all at MEI.
Its nice to see the MPT-2018 Felicitation of Prof.Rao in this esteemed International platform. Its always a great pleasure to follow the blogs to get an update.
It was a great moment to see Dr.Rao got felicitated at his own creation / temple where he started. Congratulations to him and a proud moment to all Mineral Engg. faternity in India and abroad.
Hope many more such laurels to come on the same way on such platforms from India.
I am delighted to see that T C Rao is being honoured for his great contributions to Mineral Processing. I will make a few comments.
Rao and I worked together in the UQ Mining Department in the 1960s. It was the time that cyclones were replacing rake classifiers and the cyclones were poorly constructed and gave poor results. MIM encountered difficulties with cyclones so they built a cyclone test rig to try to identify the problems. MIM led by Jim Foots was then starting its time as a world leader in mining technology. Rao and I took the test rig over and we used the rig as a test site. Rao spent many months carrying out experimental work changing flow rates, vortex finder and spigot diameters, and feed solids contents.
We did all the sampling and sizing ourselves and we spent the weekends trying to make sense of the results. Our tools of trade were graph paper, a ruler, a hand calculator and the coffee pot. There were many vigorous debates. The surprising conclusion to me 50 years later was that the model we produced worked well and is still used with few minor modifications . I do not think that we realised during the early work the importance of being able to link the cyclone and ball mill in a closed circuit but that became apparent as work proceeded.
Rao has done great work in many areas of mineral and coal processing but I still regard with satisfaction the work he and I did on the development of the cyclone model.
Mineral Engineering fraternity is proud to be blessed by the Professor of eminence TC Rao. We are proud to be associated with the legend Prof TC Rao.
Many many congratulations to Prof. T C Rao for his creation of Mineral Engineering course at Bachelor level in India at ISM.
He is one of the renowned Mineral Engineer in World and truly deserved for the feather "Father of Mineral Engineering in India".
I would like to thank Dr Wills for this publication at MEI platform.

How to spend the Amazon gift card you got for the holidays
Got an Amazon gift card for the holidays that's burning a hole in your pocket? Check out these ideas on what to get with it!
If you're looking for some great, Windows-friendly things to buy with that gift card given to you over the holidays, it can be tough to decide what to get. There's a ton of great products out there, and we've rounded up some suggestions on things you should definitely take a look at!
Despite not having a mobile app for Windows 10, the Amazon Echo is still perfectly Windows-friendly. The Echo itself works independently of any app, in that you just speak to Alexa and ask for things to be done. Want to know what's in the news, the weather, or hail an Uber? Just ask Alexa.
There are settings and skills for which you need the app to enable, but Amazon bakes everything the mobile versions have into a web-app that's accessible from pretty much any browser you choose. It's one of the most complete smart home products around.
Setting up and using the Amazon Echo with Windows 10
See at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Steam Link
If you love your PC gaming but sometimes you'd rather be feet up on the couch than upright at your desk, the Steam Link could be your new best friend. It's a little box that plugs into your TV and allows you to mirror your Steam games from your PC.
Throw in a great controller and you've got yourself a couch setup that doesn't involve hauling your rig into the front room. And best of all, it's currently discounted to just $20, which makes it a downright bargain.
The Surface Pro 4 base model with the Intel Core m processor and 4GB of RAM can be had with a fairly healthy price cut post-holidays, so if you've been holding out then why not throw your gift card towards it?
You'll also get 128GB of storage and the Surface Pen, as well as probably the best 2-in-1 Windows 10 machine that money can buy. If you're not going to be doing intensive computing, the Core m will do you well.
Logitech MX Master
If you want to be at the top of your mouse game then you can't do wrong with Logitech's MX Master, one of our absolute favorite mice. It's wireless, and its contoured design makes it incredibly comfortable to use.
You also get a thumb wheel to aid more advanced control as well as a whopping 40-day battery life. And if you do run out, 4 minutes of charge will get you a full day's use. This is $70 your hands will thank you for spending.
Xbox One Dawn Shadow controller
The Elite might be the best Xbox One controller you can get, but the regular versions are still very handy. Not least because the recent refresh added Bluetooth, a grippier surface and a slightly slimmer profile.
Bluetooth means you can use it wirelessly with a PC without needing a dongle, and of the current crop we think the special Dawn Shadow edition is the most eye-catching, and the one to go for.
And let's face it, you're going to stand out among your buddies with one of these.
MSI RX 470 8GB graphics card
Looking to get your PC ready for VR in 2017 or just give it a needed kick in the pants? Thanks to AMD's new Polaris cards you can do either of those for $200 with an 8GB RX 470 graphics card. There are plenty to pick from, but we've picked out this from MSI as the best value.
You'll get MSI's custom Twin Frozr cooler on there, as well as great support for DX12, HDR and Freesync, all of which can give your gaming sessions a leg up. It lights up, too, if such things are important in your case.
LG 24UD58-B UHD Monitor
4K monitors are no longer just the accessories for those willing to spend a lot — there are several great entry level options like this one from LG. With a 24-inch 4K IPS display that supports Freesync, gamers with AMD graphics cards will get some added bonus.
It's fairly sparse on connections, but with a 5ms response time and a 60Hz refresh rate, you'll have crisp images and no real input lag. LG has also bundled some neat features like a screen split mode to help you get the most from all those pixels.
Anker SoundCore
One of our favorite Bluetooth speakers is the Anker SoundCore thanks to its smart balance of great performance and affordability. With dual performance drivers doing the work, you get a well-rounded sound with plenty of volume inside a subtly designed package.
You'll also get an actual 24 hours of listening time from it and Anker throws in a full 18-month warranty, all for a speaker that costs less than $50. You can spend a lot more and be a lot less happy. Do yourself a favor and give your wireless tunes to the SoundCore.
Xbox Live Subscription
If you own an Xbox, you're not getting the most out of it if you don't have an Xbox Live subscription. Not only does it give you full access to all online features so you can destroy your friends and total strangers in your favorite games, you'll now get four free titles every month to download and keep forever.
That's two Xbox One games and two backwards compatible Xbox 360 games, every month, every year. You could pay monthly on your console, but you'll save yourself some dough by stumping up for a full year's code in one go. It makes perfect sense!
Logitech C922 webcam
Logitech C922 (Image credit: Windows Central)
Maybe you want to treat yourself to a new webcam? Right now you can get the best webcam that money can buy for around $80, and that's the Logitech C922 Pro Stream. It's quite the package, with a 1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps recording option at your disposal.
You'll also get a mini-tripod in the box and free software to help you create a virtual green screen by eliminating your background. This is perfect for streamers or just people who want to hide some clutter!
Those are some of the things we'd be spending on, but if you've got any great suggestions be sure to leave them in the comments below!

Deep Dive Rewind: The Nightmare Before Christmas, Part One
These days, The Nightmare Before Christmas has become an established Halloween treat that bridges the gap between Halloween and Christmas. Who could imagine Halloween without a visit from Jack Skellington and the other denizens of Halloweentown? This beloved classic has even inspired yearly Haunted Mansion overlays at DISNEYLAND and the Tokyo Disney Resort's Magic Kingdom Park. The film's current success, however, was hard earned. Executives in charge at The Disney Studios were never big fans of the project and it would take Batman and ten years for the film to make it to the big screen. Join us as we trace the history of this now classic film that was initially rejected then buried by Disney. It would be the film's fans- and their dollars- that would eventually elevate the picture to its current heights.
Tim Burton was never a normal kid. Growing up in Burbank, he was literally in The Walt Disney Studios' backyard, but while he aspired to one day join the ranks of the studio's artists, his tastes leaned darker and more gruesome than the squeaky clean world of Disney. Of course, while Disney's world was never completely gumdrops and lollipops, its villains always took a back seat to the heroes and everything seemed to be either black or white. Tim, on the other hand, saw things in shades of grey.
Tim's artistic gifts would eventually lead him to the legendary CalArts. Endowed and built by Walt Disney, the school had soared to the top of arts colleges by the late 1970's. While it was descended from institutions that had been established decades before, it had only been established as CalArts in the mid-1960's. It had become a reliable producer of talent for the various Hollywood studios and was a great place to begin an artistic career. Tim had produced a pencil drawn cartoon short in 1979 that caught the attention of Walt Disney Animation- Stalk of The Celery Monster. The studio would offer young Tim an apprenticeship and then a job. A few of the studio's old guard saw Tim's potential and regarded his different, darker style as intriguing enough to let him pursue his own projects.
One of his first productions was Vincent, a macabre stop motion short that featured a young boy, not unlike young Tim, who aspired to be just like his favorite actor- Vincent Price. At least, he aspired to be how he imagined Vincent Price to be like in real life. This novel short was unlike anything that Disney had ever released before, which rattled a few executives at the studio. Vincent Price, however, quickly signed on to narrate the film, which changed a few minds at Disney. The short was a huge success, prompting Tim to start working on other concepts for the studio.
His next big project for the studio was a Japanese-themed retelling of the Hansel and Gretel story for The Disney Channel In 1983. The bizarre live action production flummoxed studio execs. They weren't sure what to make of it and chose to air it just once on Halloween of that year. The film was eventually shelved, never getting a home video release or even a repeated viewing on television.
Undaunted, Tim chose the macabre Frankenweenie as his next project. The featurette, which told the story of a young boy who brought his dog back to life, was the last straw. Disney executives, faced with a hostile takeover and increasing irrelevance, decided to fire Tim Burton. It was determined that the type of projects he was creating would never fit in at Disney.
Tim was devastated, especially after he learned that his next project had also been canceled. The project was deemed, like his others, to be too dark and macabre for Disney. That project was The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Available-for-sale Securities
Starbucks' short-term and long-term investments consist primarily of investment-grade debt securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale debt securities are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Available-for-sale securities with remaining maturities of less than one year and those identified by management at the time of purchase to be used to fund operations within one year are classified as short-term. All other available-for-sale securities are classified as long-term. Starbucks evaluates the available-for-sale securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. Unrealized losses are charged against net earnings when a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary. Starbucks reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other than temporary, such as the length and extent of the fair value decline, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and whether Starbucks has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell before the securities' anticipated recovery, which may be at maturity. Realized gains and losses are accounted for using the specific identification method. Purchases and sales are recorded on a trade date basis.
Trading Securities
Starbucks also has a trading securities portfolio, which is comprised of marketable equity mutual funds and equity exchange-traded funds. Trading securities are recorded at fair value and approximates a portion of Starbucks' liability under the Management Deferred Compensation Plan ("MDCP"). Gains or losses from the portfolio and the change in Starbucks' MDCP liability are recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Equity and Cost Method Investments
Equity investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting if the investment gives Starbucks the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. Equity method investments are included within long-term investments on Starbucks' consolidated balance sheets. Starbucks' share of the earnings or losses as reported by equity method investees are classified as income from equity investees on the consolidated statements of earnings.
Equity investments for which Starbucks does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method of accounting and are recorded in long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. Under the cost method, investments are carried at cost and are adjusted only for other-than-temporary declines in fair value, certain distributions and additional investments.
Starbucks evaluates the equity and cost method investments for impairment annually and when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such investments may not be recoverable. Starbucks reviews several factors to determine whether the loss is other than temporary, such as the length and extent of the fair value decline, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and whether Starbucks has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell before the investment's anticipated recovery. If a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded in net earnings.

The TC3402 is a low cost, low power analog-to-digital converter based on Microchip's Sigma-Delta technology. It will perform 16-bit conversions (15-bit plus sign) at up to eight per second. The TC3402 is optimized for use as a microcontroller peripheral in low cost, battery operated systems. A voltage reference is included, or an external reference can be used. The TC3402's 2-wire MicroPort™ digital interface is used for starting conversions and for reading out the data. Driving the SCLK line low starts a conversion. After the conversion starts, each additional falling edge (up to six) detectedonSCLKfor t4 secondsreducestheA/Dresolution by one bit and cuts conversion time in half. After a conversion is completed, clocking the SCLK line puts the MSB through LSB of the resulting data word onto the SDAT line, much like a shift register. The part automatically sleeps when not performing a data conversion. The TC3402 is available in 16-Pin PDIP and 16-Pin QSOP packages.

Former Fellow Terri Gerstein ('95) published an op-ed in The Washington Post about her experience working for New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who stepped down this month following allegations of abuse. "Yes, it feels awful to learn the truth about a boss you felt proud to work for. But you do not go into public service if you do not believe in the mission, and not even revelations like this week's can shake my faith that the work we did during those years mattered deeply," Terri wrote.


Posted August 17, 2009 by milk & filed under Other, Some Links.
But the point remains – ironically one that Howard Rheingold touches on at his Reboot Britain talk (no, I can't link directly to it as they've decided to wall their videos in one monolithic flash app, though it's the far bottom presentation on here) – that in the age of the internet, you have to acquire and/or strengthen certain kinda of literacies to make the most of what is available, i.e., why should you trust (or not) certain sources and arguments and how to step back and seek out alternative and similar points of view so you don't miss a trick.
Saying that, he concludes with "By creating and branding a movement, even the most well-meaning activists are disconnecting from terra firma, and instead entering the world of marketing, public opinion, and language selection. Potential participants, meanwhile, are distracted from whatever on-the-ground, constructive and purposeful activity they might do. They get to join an abstracted movement, and participate by belonging instead of doing, or blogging instead of acting." which, while I feel is still OTT and misses the worth of organisations as forums for knowledge sharing and how one can use elements of trust to network and plurality to belong to or have a form of solidarity with groups with differing schools of thought, there are certain truths to – that the map is not the territory and that one needs to see how far they can act and communicate in their own life, both on a local and global scale, to tie together their principles and lifestyles and give a good example as to how things can be done differently or what policies and changes we should be demanding from those in (and out of) governance.


Jun Moxie has been sleeping for a whole day.
The previous mental force exceeded the amount of money paid, it is too difficult to load, almost the overdraft beyond the limit, even with the powerful mental force of the Great Assassin Jun two worlds person can not bear.
The huge tremendous pressures of the two Supreme Divine Profounds persisted for almost all night, until finally the conditions were settled, confirming that the two-person group of the beast had left, Jun Moxie relaxed, the original powerful enemy was still watching, not yet Feel how, this relaxation does not matter, almost no energy to go home, if not the security instinct of the previous life assassin career, afraid that there is always the possibility of falling.
Finally, barely supported the Jun Family entrance. Young Master Jun was completely exhausted. This moment is not only a mental force, but also a physical strength limit. The intravenous drip is no more, even the strength of a little finger is gone, and the door is not. Guard went back, lay down on the bed, and then didn't know about the personnel... Little Loli Ke hadn't dared to look at the clothes for a whole night, and the character level that Jun Wuyi had seen before was alive. Too high, decided not to participate, and came back early. It was a clear understanding of the mind. avoided the unexpected misfortune, sat alone in the signature wheelchair, and sat in the nephew yard for a day. Brows close, a face worry.
Jun Moxie lose consciousness What did you mean by yourself in the end?
What is Blood Soul Manor and it's okay? Why is it temporarily okay? Since the Blood Soul Manor was released from the wind, can you do it in the end? If suddenly there is no such thing, for the reputation of Blood Soul Manor, isn't it a huge joke? So has a strong beginning but a weak ending, what is the overbearing style of Blood Soul Manor?
To be honest, don't look at the singularity of Third Master Jun, not afraid of all the hardships and obstacles to guard the scorpion's survivors, in fact, Third Master Jun is not afraid of fear, the opposite party is the world famous Blood Soul Manor Behind the scene is an Eight Grand Supremes in the second place Absolute Heaven Supreme Absolute Heaven, this strength is definitely not the area Jun Family can fight!
Used to sneak Snow Silver City. haven't touched the Silver City master's cold snow, but have already made Jun Family chicken blood, almost never, and now once again provoked an ex ofceence that may be more terrible than Snow Silver City. Jun Family may also have Ok?
Before was shocked, Ninth Level Profound Core present world, Third Master Jun was holding a lucky thought. If it is really lucky, or you can go further, if you can enter the Divine Profound stage, or still not that The enemy of Absolute Heaven, but how much can win a slim chance of survival for Jun Family!
As for the early return, it is the Master Master's judgment that can't be done. The presence of the Expert, the terrifying of the strength, has already surpassed the scope of his own ability, reluctantly, only self-destruction, the Jun Family at the moment is again There can be no loss!
This news makes Third Master Jun both happy and shocked. Third Master does not doubt the authentic surname of this news, because this nephew is really Divine Ability, and there are too many surprises for yourself, but it is still full of joy. The astonishment, no doubt does not mean not astonishment, how the scorpion is done in the end, the opposite party is the Absolute Heaven Supreme of the Eight Grand Supremes second place Absolute Heaven!
Guan Qinghan also came over several times. After hearing the words of Jun Moxie relayed by Jun Wuyi, Seeing that he was so tired that he couldn't help but the eye socket was wet.
It can be seen that Jun Moxie has appointed this life for his own sake. Although don't know why he is very confident that the sentence is not over, but Guan Qinghan has no reason to believe.
Such cruel and cold-blooded fake words, Guan Qinghan only felt the happiness and safety of heartfelt. Because, she heard from inside, not cruel, not bloody, but a man who swears to defend the determination of own!
Guan Qinghan stood quietly in the yard, staring at the clouds floating in the sky, recalling the many matters that happened in the past two days, and suddenly there was some loss of consciousness, and felt up, only felt chaotic in the heart, totally don't know if was thinking about anything in the end... When Jun Moxie woke up, it was already the first time for the decorat lantern.
"You woke up." Jun Wuyi didn't look back. When heard the movement on the bed, quietly opened his mouth.
"Third Uncle, how are you here? How long have I slept!" Jun Moxie closed her eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes and sighed and sat up. Shaking his head, feeling the role of the lonely consciousness. The pain of the bones has disappeared before, but replaced by a warm comfort, the body is also soaked in warm water, very incomprehensible, the Qi flow of the runs in the meridians, also Sturdy and calm.
This is different from the previous life experience. In the previous life assassin career, high-strength overdraft physical strength, spiritual situation is not a small number, no matter whether it can finally complete the task, it will definitely have a headache for a few days, the body needs more recuperate A few miles, but this time the overdraft, the result is totally different!
This overdraft mental force, although the process is quite a bit bad risk, and the physical body is extremely tired, but the connection between itself and Hongjun Pagoda is also more closely, and, do not know whether it is not the best, his art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune's cultivation base has also taken a big step. There is a subtle feeling that touches the threshold of the Second Layer. Jun Moxie suddenly has a very practical feelings, which is believed to be within 2-3 days. You will be promoted to the Second Layer of Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune; that means you will be able to enter the second layer of Exquisite Hongjun Pagoda!
This kind of feeling is undoubtedly very mysterious. Young Master Jun doesn't know how feels like this, but it really exists.
Jun Moxie touched his nose, smirked two voices, low eyebrow, and respectfully listened. The ability to let the always-stricken Third Master Jun also always in the uncontrollable rage's self-proclaimed "Father" , this shows that Third Uncle is moving this real fire. So Young Master Jun didn't dare to argue, a little darling.
Just say today, today I can do shameful deals, can people follow? !
Third Master Jun reprimanded in one breath, even though Sky Profound expert has a long temperament, couldn't help but breathe a few mouthfuls. Seeing the nephew of his nephew, Jun Wuyi felt that had a little more: this reprimand To the nephew in front of him, it's equal to saying nothing. From small to large, it's more serious and harder to listen to than this. I don't know how many, even the fans and feet add to the sticks, I haven't seen this guy change the least bit, and then, according to the means that his big Young Master currently has, It's a hell of hearing... " " I'm too lazy to pissed off with you, it's a waste of spirituality. " Jun Wuyi waved his hand: " Let's say, what did you say this morning, in the end? " My nephew may have played tricks among the terrifying characters last night, and Jun Wuyi was afraid of the sweaty vertical stroke, followed by is then in an uncontrollable rage!
"Ah? Which sentence? What in the end mean?!" Jun Moxie had no impression at all, and was surprised to gain ground.
This is not the pretense, it is really too tired before the fainting, really forgotten!
"Oh, he he, Third Uncle is the one." Jun Moxie eyeball racing, if Third Uncle knew that he had gone out last night, he played the two of the Eight Grand Supremes in one go. The other four Supreme Divine Profound, along with more than 20 Sky Profound experts and hundreds of Earth Profound experts, seem to have killed four of them, and also talked with the king of two outside Profound Beast The price of the sink... don't know if Third Uncle will crash on the spot, scared?
It is estimated that Third Uncle is not big enough to be scared, but even if it doesn't break the two legs, it will be inevitable for a period of time! But now can't be forbidden!
It seems that the truth is definitely not straightforward!
"I am also an estimate. Well, guess." Jun Moxie is scalping, is without turning a hair, and even very calming.
Jun Wuyi has always been known, such as Jane Jane.

Q: Once in a year or one in a year In the following sentence

"I have other plans so have decided to move on. The CAC was anyway meeting once in a year or one in two years so I did not understand the conflict," Ms. Rangaswamy told PTI.

 Link
I have never seen such usage one in two years. I think it should be once

A: This is awkward writing overall.

The CAC was anyway meeting ....

is at best unusual, and arguably incorrect.

meeting once in a year or one in two years

is at best inconsistent (if it is not a typo as a comment suggests) and might better be recast as:

The CAC was only meeting once every year or two, so I did not understand the conflict.

But this seems to be reported speech, a spoken interview with a journalist, and may have been delivered off-the-cuff. In such a case a speaker often phrases things a bit awkwardly or loses track of exactly where a sentence was heading. The meanign is clear, which is all that can be hoped for in that situation.

Fulfilling a childhood dream
Benoit Wirth | Apprentice
Benoit Wirth's enthusiasm and passion for Liebherr have been around him since birth
His father works for Liebherr-France SAS, and a childhood fascination with construction machines made him a Liebherr fan from an early age. Now, as a trainee at Liebherr, he can put his enthusiasm for technology into practice in his career. What counts most for Benoit is doing a job he enjoys and the many opportunities that an international company like Liebherr gives him.
Today my job gives me as much pleasure as it did on the very first day.

Benoit Wirth's enthusiasm and passion for Liebherr have been around him since birth. In this video, he gives an insight into his unique apprenticeship at Liebherr in Colmar. What it is, that makes his time at Liebherr unique? 'It is the mix of international presence, cutting-edge technologies and yet the all-time pleasant working atmosphere!'
"I fulfilled my childhood dream with my apprenticeship at Liebherr. When I was little, I sat on many agricultural and earthmoving machines – my passion started then. It is still strong today. I share this passion with my father because he has already been working for ten years at Liebherr-France SAS. I am also impressed because my apprenticeship was so much fun. I fondly remember one project in particular: The restoration of an R 911 B hydraulic excavator that I restored together with two other apprentices. It was a really old machine built in 1971. Today it is on show at Liebherr-France SAS and I am quite proud of that! In the course of the project I learned a great deal and acquired many additional skills.
In fact you never stop learning or training here. It is obvious that the development opportunities of its staff and apprentices are important to Liebherr. For me Liebherr is the ideal partner – both from a professional and a personal point of view. International presence, cutting-edge technologies and yet, a friendly and pleasant work atmosphere."
"I was absolutely thrilled when I received the acceptance for training to become a construction mechanic. I compared ..." More
"During the last eight years that I have been with Liebherr, the company has increased the number of employees ..." More


Thanks to Barbara Kay for being the only honest columnist in Canada on the issue of domestic violence. The data manipulation, lying and deceit generated by the DV (domestic violence)-industry is hard to imagine unless one knows the real data on domestic violence. Dv-industry hacks regularly cite inflationary statistics based on men's unwillingness to report dv to police.
Men report only 1/10 as often as women for equally severe victimization. The reported data are then seized upon as evidence of women being the disproportionate victims of dv. Shelter advocates and police chiefs (notably Murray Faulkner in London, Ontario) cite the reported statistics as though they represented reality without considering the differential reporting rates.
Real data indicates gender similarity in perpetration of dv and indicate that men to, are injured and distressed victims. That only 1% of women in a Cornwall, Ontario Hospital Emergency were there because of dv is telling. A similar study in Pennsylvania found 12% of all men in Emergency were there because of dv and Lisa Serbin's Concordia (Montreal) study of lifespan aggression found aggressive girls in kindergarten were more likely to grow up to abuse both their male partners and their children, resulting in more child visits to Emergency .
These "reality checks" and numerous others are routinely buried by the DV industry and its advocates, including out national and provincial governments.
There has yet to be single study in Canada focusing on dv abuse of men. This shameful gap is entirely generated by gender-political distortions not by research evidence.

South Africa: Robert Sobukwe – Equal Status in the Pantheon of South African Activists Is Long Overdue
The mortal fight against apartheid is usually cast in terms of good versus evil, a simple schism in which there are heroes and villains, or racially, in a white against black equation that blots out pretty much all else in between. But of course, this is hardly ever the case.
Apartheid – and the racial segregation it was based on – thoroughly tested ethical principles and stances, made unlikely heroes of some and improbable scoundrels of others. It besmirched moral lenses more often than not. And because the sight it proffered isn't usually pretty – and to protect the collective sanity of South Africans – there had to be neat ethical resolutions for untidy political and moral dilemmas.
The result was that many individuals fell through the cracks in the unfolding story of apartheid's collateral damage.
One such figure is Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe, the formidable founder of the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC). He is the subject of a May 2022 Robben Island Museum hosted exhibition titled, "Remember Africa, Remember Sobukwe"
Sobukwe, in very trying times, remains an unsung hero in the epic moral fight against the evil that was apartheid. He was a political leader, a social activist and genuine humanist who stood undaunted and undefeated by the deadly curveballs apartheid threw at him.
History written by the victors
Sobukwe casually subverts apartheid's assumed ethical linearity by adding what is now unjustly viewed as a minority voice. Dubbed "Biko before Biko", he was once perceived to possess more revolutionary potential than Nelson Mandela. Steve Biko was the charismatic leader of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) during apartheid. He rallied South African youth in collective rebellion while at the time lavishing them with much-needed hope.
In attempting to dismantle apartheid's vice-grip, Sobukwe discountenanced suggestions and methods of integrationism, a stance that saw him part ways with the African National Congress (ANC). This led to the formation of his own still surviving movement, the Pan Africanist Congress in 1959.
There's an African proverb that speaks directly to what many perceive to be Sobukwe's undervalued status in South African political history. The proverb, popularised by author and poet Chinua Achebe, goes like this: that lions need to become historians in order to truthfully narrate their own history otherwise the tale of the hunt would always end up glorifying the hunter.
The ANC – and not the PAC – emerged victorious at a winner-takes-all contest that marked the end of apartheid. Due to this outcome, Sobukwe's historical significance naturally receded.
Even under apartheid, Sobukwe could have had a much easier life if he chose. In 1954, he was appointed as a lecturer in the Department of Bantu Languages at the historically white University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. The importance of education was instilled in him as a boy together with his siblings by his struggling parents. Even in imprisonment, Sobukwe would acquire a degree in economics and another in law after he was released. Understandably, he was called "Prof." by his associates and well-wishers.
However, Sobukwe was not content to live within the comforts provided by academia. He had joined the radical wing of the Youth League of the African National Congress. He subsequently became the editor of the uncompromising periodical, The Africanist.
Within the ANC, an ideological crisis occurred between those who were deemed moderates and the radicals. The moderates favoured an integrationist and gradualist approach to the sociopolitical impasse created by apartheid. Radicals such as Sobukwe supported an African revolution driven by Africans and for Africans without any accommodationist overtones.
The unresolved crisis meant he had to abandon the ANC and form the PAC instead.
Incarceration and banishment
In 1960, Sobukwe launched the Positive Decisive Campaign to peacefully protest the apartheid pass laws. He had informed the apartheid authorities of his non-violent protest. Nonetheless, the authorities responded by massacring 69 individuals at Sharpville. Applying the Criminal Law Amendment Act with criminal intent, Sobukwe was sentenced to three years of incarceration with hard labour served at Pretoria Central and Witbank Prisons.
When the time for his release came, parliament promulgated the Sobukwe Clause which saw him serve another six years at the notorious Robben Island. But he refused to be broken. He studied, taught, exercised and kept up steady correspondence with family and friends.
After he was eventually released, he was banished to Kimberley where he had no family and friends which must have felt like another spell of solitary confinement. Indeed his life was never the same after his indictment and incarceration. From that time until his eventual death from lung cancer in 1978, he was severed from family, friends, medical care and economic opportunities.

The intention of the apartheid regime had been to annihilate him psychologically and physically. They humiliated and starved him and also denied him permission to take up opportunities offered to him in the US. Indeed the systematic torture and horror meted out to him by the apartheid authorities were simply mind-blowing. They created a concatenation of arid dungeons for which there was no escape specifically for him.
When he died, his burial was arranged by the Azanian People's Organisation (Azapo) at Graaff-Reinet and was attended by 5,000 people. Evidently, Sobukwe, even under the most intolerable conditions, had been effective in inspiring an ever loyal corps of freedom fighters who continued his invaluable work.
Sobukwe was principled, uncompromising, dedicated and courageous. When hope faltered and died, he resurrected it, where the enervated cried out for help and succour, he provided them. And as many of his faithful followers at the Robben Island Museum exhibition testified, he was undoubtedly a man for all seasons.

Finding Aid for Archive of Folk Culture Materials
Preface to the Online Presentation
by Michael Taft
As part of its celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Archive of Folk Culture (July 1, 2003), the American Folklife Center is re-issuing these recordings from the Robert Winslow Gordon Collection. Twenty-five years ago, for the Archive's 50th anniversary, these recordings were issued on an LP, along with extensive notes by Debora Kodish, Neil V. Rosenberg, and Joseph C. Hickerson. That LP, and the turntables that could play it, are now nearly as obsolete and inaccessible as were wax cylinders in the 1970s, but the value of the recordings and Gordon's legacy as the first director of the Archive have not lessened.
The notes to the LP, republished here, give an excellent account of Gordon's role in the history of folksong collecting and archiving. In the context of the present re-issue, it is worth pointing out that Gordon's interests extended beyond the folksongs themselves to include the means of capturing them. From childhood he was a tinkerer, fascinated by technology, and it is no surprise that he was a pioneer of the use of sound-recording equipment in folklore fieldwork.
Folk-Songs of America original LP cover
Gordon's cylinders and discs are of inestimable value and form part of his legacy. But they present a challenge given by Gordon to future archivists. Gordon's intent was not only to collect folksongs but to present them to the public -- his song columns in Adventure and the New York Times Magazine were an early form of applied or public folklore. Gordon's challenge to us is to make sure that these folksongs remain accessible to the public, that they not be hidden away in an archive. With each evolutionary step in sound recording technology, Gordon's challenge is renewed.
Over the years, the Archive of Folk Culture has met this challenge through reissuing material from its holdings, first as sets of 78rpm recordings, then later as LPs, and more recently as CDs and on the Internet. Each change in technology, however, has meant that the Archive's reissues have become almost as inaccessible as the original field recordings from which they were taken. The beginning of the 21st century is also the beginning of a new chapter in this continuing challenge, and the Archive is currently engaged in the digital preservation and presentation of its recordings.
It is altogether fitting that Gordon's cylinders and discs are part of this ongoing technological evolution. Gordon would approve.
