DeMichael Harris: The Best Thing About My Style - I Can Bang and I Can Box
Published Fri Dec 09, 2022, 04:26 AM EST
You can't always believe what you read on the internet, so what is it, DeMichael Harris? Six-feet or 5-foot-11?
"I'm in the middle of it," he laughs.
So 5-foot-11 and a half it is. It's an important stat for the 25-year-old, considering that he's fighting as a junior lightweight, making him quite an imposing figure for his 130-pound opponents. And if they already don't like him for that, they'll really hate him when they find out what it takes for him to make weight.
"This is one of the first camps I've been able to actually eat whatever I want, and when I say whatever, there's some heavy meals," he said. "But the way I've been cutting weight and the times that I eat, it's been perfect. So I've been eating pretty good. No starvation or anything like that."
Yeah, don't expect Harris to be getting any invites to the sauna or for some celery sticks on fight week.
"There's a lot of other fighters that ask me how I make weight," he said. "I can try and give them some pointers, but it don't work for everybody."
That lanky frame worked wonders for the likes of Thomas Hearns and Diego Corrales, but Harris admits that he's not always looking at being the tall guy firing bombs from the outside.
"I look at Tommy Hearns, and that's actually one of my favorite fighters," he said. "But believe it or not, he's probably the only taller fighter that I always looked up to. Outside of that, I watched (Sugar Ray) Leonard, I love Errol Spence, and it's just other fighters that I'll look into that are not as tall for the weight class, but that are pretty much average, and I take a lot from them more than I did from the taller fighters.
"I think the best thing about my style is that I can bang and I can box," Harris continues. "I can do both. Honestly, I prefer to be on the inside, because I feel like my inside fighting is super good. Don't get me wrong, there's a time to bang and a time to chill on the outside and use your jab and keep stepping over. I do both. However I see the fight can be, that will be the way I approach it."
What will Harris see tonight in Atlanta when he faces Kaylyn Alfred at Center Stage? He's expecting a fight, but one that he expects will improve his 8-0-1 record to 9-0-1. And while he knows the 4-3-2 Louisianan isn't going to scare anyone with his slate, Harris knows that this is all part of the process as he moves up the ladder.
"I follow what my team has in store for me," Harris said. "Whoever my promoter and my manager bring to the table. I got this guy Friday, Kaylyn Alfred, he fought some great competition. Pretty much everybody he fought was pretty good and he had some nights where he came up short, he had some nights where he got a draw, and he got some nights where he won. And I can't overlook him. I know he's probably gonna come to fight, and we're just going step by step. That's all I can say. I just want to get past Friday. I feel as though I can definitely knock this guy out and just keep my career moving. So whatever they have in store for me, I'm ready."
It's a tough position for an up and comer to be in. He has to know that Alfred isn't being brought in to beat him, so he has to do what it takes to get his payday and another win, and keep developing in the gym, something made more difficult considering that he only had 15 amateur bouts. But with a mature outlook that he says comes from being the father of two boys (aged one and two years old), he's finding his way.
"The only part I'd say is hard about it is getting those opportunities like the guys that win Nationals and go to the Olympics," said Harris. "Those guys come out of the Olympics and pretty much got every manager in the world that wants them, every promoter, they've got money behind them and things like that. I'm blessed with the team I have and I'm happy that they picked me up and believed in me. With that being said, it's just all about working hard. I don't have the big amateur background, but I can fight, and I've been in the ring with some of these guys that people watch on TV or these prospects coming up, and I did some good work. That shows that I have what it takes, but I've got to work just a little bit harder than they do to make myself more known and get to the level that they're on to be seen by the world."
Some guys we've seen on TV? Harris is being humble, as he's sparred with some of the best in the game to evolve his own.
"I sparred the champions at my weight class and around my weight class," Harris said. "I sparred Gervonta Davis, I sparred Devin Haney, I sparred Shakur Stevenson. Those are the top dogs. And being in the ring with those guys shows you where you're at. You can give them great work, but on fight night, these are different beasts. So what you do in sparring, you may not do in a fight with that level of opponent. So it makes me say, let me stay in the gym, let me stay patient, let me work on my craft so I can get up there. Instead of just going out there and fighting a bunch of truck drivers and building up a record and getting hype just off a record, what have I done outside of that? That's my main focus - staying in the gym and getting better, getting the best sparring, fighting competition that makes sense where I can advance and I can see myself growing instead of just fighting a guy I can go in there and just knock him out in the first round. If it happens, it happens, but I want to fight opponents that are gonna make me think, that are gonna help me get better fight after fight. That's what I'm looking for right now."
Those truck drivers can be tough.
"Some of them," he deadpans before breaking into a laugh, showing that he doesn't just have talent in the ring, but a cool charisma that could just make him a star one day. Is he ready for that?
You bet he is.
"I feel as though I've been through a lot of things in life and I just got a lot of dog in me to handle any situation that comes," Harris said. "I feel like I'm God-gifted at that and can just overcome anything. It's just something in me. I can't be average. That's my whole mindset.".

Q: how to start two threads (almost) simultaneously? I have this block in rufus
def download(log_message)
  $logger.info(log_message)
  download_all_from_config()
end

scheduler.in '5s' do
  first = Thread.new(download("starting cron job (in 5s mode)"))
  sleep(55)
  second = Thread.new(download("starting 2nd cron job (in 5s mode)"))
  first.join
  second.join
end

and what I want is to run download_all_from_config() function twice almost simultaneously. This function is downloading big files so I do not want to wait till the fist one finishes. I thought I would use threads but I cannot make it work.
Could someone suggest how to run download_all_from_config() twice so it starts almost simultaneously?

A: You need to call Thread.new with a block. i.e instead of Thread.new(...) you need either
Thread.new { ... }

or
Thread.new do
  ...
end

Let me begin this edition of my column by hailing my fellow editor FemiAdesina of the Daily Sun for his new appointment as an aide to incoming president MuhammaduBuhari. Na your time, Egbon. Twale to you.
Okay, all due protocols observed, welcome to this week's edition of Spyglass, where we are observing a countdown to the Buhari era. As you know, President Jonathan's era will end in a few days, and what has been described as the Buhari restoration will begin. During New Year's Day celebrationspeople normally pray that the incoming year will be better than the previous one, no matter how good that previous year was. So we wish that, no matter how good the Jonathan era has been the Buhari era will be even better. I'm sure President Jonathan himself will say a big amen to that prayer.
Okay: so what is one thing we would like the incoming president to look into? For me I think there is an urgent need for the incoming administration to look at creating economic opportunities for our youth and publicizing the ones already in existence. I believe that if Buhari can look into these, the crime rate in our country will go down drastically together with reports of disgraceful actions of our countrymen abroad.
We should ask ourselves why high numbers of Nigerians are languishing in prisons abroad.
Government so far has neglected its role of providing employment opportunities and easier access to ready capital for the vast majority of the youth. Even when government has provided avenues, they have turned out to be tiny drops in the ocean.
A case in point is the government-funded Youth Enterprise With Innovation in Nigeria (YouWIN) project: Even though the selection process has been widely accredited as being largely free and fair, handing out capital to only 1,500 youths every year in a country of 170 million is like fetching water with a spoon instead of with a pail. It doesn't go even near enough to address the youthful problems of unemployment and lack of capital.
The incoming Buhari Administration is hereby charged to take youth empowerment through provision of employment opportunities and easy access to capital as its primary priority.
YouWIN should not be scrapped but the number of awardees should be increased to at least 50,000 per year. The budgetary allocation for YouWIN should be adjusted to accommodate this number of awardees, and funds cut off from several of the elephant projects that litter the polity.
Another thing is that the Buhari administration needs to publicize the other incentives that the Federal Government has like the cheap government farmlands available for lease in the agricultural sector.
I know of a certain youth called African Farmer Mogajji (real not nicknames) who has made it through large scale commercial farming – he has hectares of farm making him real money even though he hardly owns any of the land.
How does he do it? He leases farmland at ridiculously low rates from the Federal Government. This is not because of special connections with people in power, but is one of the least known incentive packages the Federal Government has made available that our youth can key into.
The great percentage of youth in this country do not know that in the River Basins of Nigeria, under the care of the Federal Ministry of Water Resources, there are thousands and thousands of hectares of farmland lying fallow that the Federal Government is willing to lease to anyone at very cheap rates (we are talking of N2500 for every 2.5 hectares for a renewable period of about eight months).
All you need to do to get the 1,2, 3 or more hectares of land you need for farming business if you cannot buy them is is to go to one of the River Basin Development Authorities near you and tell them you would like to lease farmland from them.
They will take you to hectares upon hectares of Federal Government owned farmland and all you need to do is to choose your site and payfor it and make sure you begin to farm on it, and it is yours for a number of months, complete with Federal Government irrigation facilities for your crops.
If entrepreneurial opportunities for our youth are improved upon and adequately publicised, it will win great political laurels for the incoming Buhari Administration. If the youth are not urgently empowered, we may continue to hear stories of Nigerians youths being incarcerated and executed in foreign shores, even in a Buhari administration.
Let me close by recommending this Robert Service poem that gives me inspiration when things get though. I think Buhari will also need it in the presidential journey he is about to embark upon, because it is not an easy journey.
When you're lost in the Wild, and you're scared as a child,
And Death looks you bang in the eye,
And you're sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle
To cock your revolver and . . . die.
But the Code of a Man says: "Fight all you can,"
And self-dissolution is barred.
In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow . . .
It's the hell-served-for-breakfast that's hard.
"You're sick of the game!" Well, now that's a shame.
You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
"You've had a raw deal!" I know — but don't squeal,
Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.
It's the plugging away that will win you the day,
So don't be a piker, old pard!
Just draw on your grit, it's so easy to quit.
It's the keeping-your chin-up that's hard.
It's easy to cry that you're beaten — and die;
It's easy to crawfish and crawl;
But to fight and to fight when hope's out of sight —
Why that's the best game of them all!
And though you come out of each gruelling bout,
All broken and battered and scarred,
Just have one more try — it's dead easy to die,
It's the keeping-on-living that's hard.

Q: Relocating initalization psects in MPLABX with XC8 compiler I'm developing a bootloader (in C, with a few asm statements thanks to the inline assembly) for a PIC16F876, using MPLABXv5.15 as an IDE and XC8v2.10 as a compiler.
I need the bootloader code to be placed at the end, except for its reset vector, which remains in the 4 first instructions.
In order to prevent the linker from placing code at the beginning, I added the default,-4-FFF option in the ROM ranges field (Project Properties > XC8 Global Options > XC8 Linker > Memory model > ROM ranges) which results in the additional option -mrom=default,-4-FFF and works well so far...
Except for 3 instruction words which are placed in the end_init psect which is itself located at 0x4. By diving into the generated .map file, I located the issue within the generated linking command:
-W-3 --edf=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\xc8\v2.10\pic\dat\en_msgs.txt \
-cs -h+dist/default/production\PJP_BLDR.X.production.sym \
--cmf=dist/default/production\PJP_BLDR.X.production.cmf -z -Q16F76 \
-oC:\Users\ALLART~1\AppData\Local\Temp\sj40.2 --defsym=__MPLAB_BUILD=1 \
-Mdist/default/production/PJP_BLDR.X.production.map -E1 -ver=XC8 \
--acfsm=1493 -ASTACK=0110h-016Fh -pstack=STACK -p_entryTrap_text=FFFh \
-ACODE=00h-03h,01000h-017FFhx2 -ASTRCODE=00h-03h,01000h-01FFFh \
-ASTRING=00h-03h,01000h-010FFhx16 -ACONST=00h-03h,01000h-010FFhx16 \
-AENTRY=00h-03h,01000h-010FFhx16 -ACOMMON=070h-07Fh -ABANK0=020h-06Fh \
-ABANK1=0A0h-0EFh -ABANK2=0110h-016Fh -ABANK3=0190h-01EFh \
-ARAM=020h-06Fh,0A0h-0EFh,0110h-016Fh,0190h-01EFh \
-AABS1=020h-07Fh,0A0h-0EFh,0110h-016Fh,0190h-01EFh -ASFR0=00h-01Fh \
-ASFR1=080h-09Fh -ASFR2=0100h-010Fh -ASFR3=0180h-018Fh \
-preset_vec=00h,intentry=04h,init,end_init -ppowerup=CODE -pcinit=CODE \
-pfunctab=ENTRY -ACONFIG=02007h-02007h -pconfig=CONFIG -DCONFIG=2 \
-AIDLOC=02000h-02003h -pidloc=IDLOC -DIDLOC=2 -DCODE=2 -DSTRCODE=2 \
-DSTRING=2 -DCONST=2 -DENTRY=2 -k dist/default/production\startup.o \
dist/default/production\PJP_BLDR.X.production.o

Where you can find the following argument:
-preset_vec=00h,intentry=04h,init,end_init

Meaning that, according to XC8 manual (here), the ISR, if present, will be placed at 0x4 (as this is the interrupt vector), and the init and end_init psects will be placed right after it (see section 7.2.18 of the manual), no matter the ROM ranges specified before, as it is indicated that psect placed explicitly have priority over ROM ranges (see section 4.8.53 of the manual). So far so good, everything's logical and I only need to find a way to change that! It turns out that there is one! Brilliant!
As stated in XC8 Manual (see section 4.8.6 of the manual which details EXACTLY my issue), I only need to specify -L-pend_init= in the extra linker options (Project Properties > XC8 Global Options > XC8 Linker > Additional options > Extra linker options) (see section 4.9.3.4 of the manual).
And here comes the problem. Whatever I do, nothing changes. The linker command in the .map file stays the same, and this end_init psect stays located at 0x4, no matter what.
The command passed to the linker is the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\xc8\v2.10\bin\xc8-cc.exe"  -mcpu=16F76 -Wl,-Map=dist/default/production/PJP_BLDR.X.production.map  -DXPRJ_default=default  -Wl,--defsym=__MPLAB_BUILD=1  -fno-short-double -fno-short-float -mrom=default,-4-FFF -O0 -fasmfile -maddrqual=ignore -xassembler-with-cpp -I"./inc" -mext=cci -Wa,-a -msummary=+psect,+class,+mem,+hex,-file -L-pend_init=200h  -ginhx032 -Wl,--data-init -mkeep-startup -mno-osccal -mno-resetbits -mno-save-resetbits -mdownload -mno-stackcall -std=c99 -gdwarf-3 -mstack=compiled:auto:auto      -Wl,--memorysummary,dist/default/production/memoryfile.xml -o dist/default/production/PJP_BLDR.X.production.elf  build/default/production/src/main.p1 build/default/production/src/serial.p1 build/default/production/src/nsp.p1 build/default/production/src/rs485slave.p1 build/default/production/src/slip.p1

So it seems that the linker receives this extra command well. However the .map file isn't modified, so I don't understand well how it should proceed. But it's the way to go according to the manual.
You can notice that the extra command passed to the linker is -L-pend_init=200h because out of despair, I just tried a lot of combinations, even placing those arguments in a CODE class, and placing the extra command in the Additional options field in the XC8 Global options, XC8 Linker options and XC8 Compiler options sub-menus. Nothing worked...
I've found this thread, but it doesn't help me (here).
I would have posted a message on Microchip forums, but it's been 3 hours and they haven't approved my registration yet (no offense meant, I simply want to post before stopping today's work ;) )
Thanks to everyone who is going to read until the end !
Thanks by advance and have a nice day !
PS: I know that you may notice that the the command transmitted to the linker specifies -mcpu=16F76 and that I said PIC16F876 (and that 16F76 doesn't allow for boatloader, since it cannot modify it's own flash) but that's the only device I have at home, and I'm only experimenting with placing code wherever I want. I don't think it's related to my problem at all.
PPS: Seems that I cannot say hello, everytime I edit this post to add it at the beginning, nothing happens... Sorry for not saying hello right at the beginning then ;)
Edit 1: It seems it's a bug within xc8 suite (I don't know if it comes from the Hlink linker, or from xc8 driver itself). I tried with xc8v1.45 and it works as expected.

(Principal coauthor: Senator Allen)
(Coauthor: Senator Portantino)
An act to add Sections 8750.5 and 8753.7 to the Government Code, relating to state government.
SB 805, Rubio. Small nonprofit performing arts organizations: payroll and paymaster services: grants.
Existing law, the Dixon-Zenovich-Maddy California Arts Act of 1975, establishes the Arts Council, consisting of 11 appointed members. Existing law specifies the duties of the council, including, among others, encouraging artistic awareness, participation, and expression, helping independent local groups develop their own art programs, promoting the employment of artists and those skilled in crafts in both the public and private sector, awarding prizes or directing grants to individuals or organizations, as specified, and establishing grant application criteria and procedure.
This bill would, upon appropriation by the Legislature, require the council to establish and administer the California Nonprofit Performing Arts Paymaster program. The bill would require the council to issue a request for proposals and award contracts to be a California nonprofit performing arts paymaster on a competitive basis to 2 or more nonprofit contractors to provide payroll and paymaster services to small nonprofit performing arts organizations, as defined. The bill would require the council to establish a criteria to rate and rank applicants and establish necessary contract terms. The bill would, upon appropriation, require the council to provide a nonprofit contractor selected to provide payroll services with a grant award in an amount necessary to fund the initial startup costs.
This bill would authorize a nonprofit contractor providing services to charge a fee to a nonprofit performing arts organization that receives payroll or paymaster services, provided that the fee does not exceed the cost of providing the services. The bill would require a nonprofit contractor that provides services under these provisions to submit an annual report to the council by July 31 of each year that provides specified information from the prior fiscal year, including, among other things, a detailed accounting of all fees charged and collected.
(a) Small nonprofit performing arts companies (SNPACs) create and preserve opportunities for performers and people in the performing arts sector, particularly workers in marginalized communities.
(b) SNPACs are often the on-ramps for emerging performers and people entering the performing arts industries, and they are incubators for new works.
(c) Because of historic undercapitalization of community-based arts and the effects of prolonged shutdown, SNPACs are reducing the number of people they hire and the number of programs they offer.
(d) SNPACs present stories that resonate with and reflect the community, the artists, and the social context of the times. The size of cast and the need for designers, choreographers, and other production workers is largely dictated by the requirements of the story being told. It is important to preserve this outlet for First Amendment speech that represents and engages marginalized groups.
(e) SNPACs have historically provided networking, educational, and mentoring opportunities for artists who are Black, Indigenous, or other people of color, facilitating connections necessary for career advancement and have provided performance experience that helps to open doors to work in larger, less accessible companies.
(f) Because of their mission to make theater accessible through low ticket prices and free services, the majority of SNPACs cannot cover the costs of production through tickets sales alone and must, on average, raise funds to cover 40 to 60 percent of the costs of each production.
(g) SNPACs provide substantial economic benefits to their communities through their leveraging effect on the economy from tourism, leisure spending, and engagement of ancillary services.
(h) Workers in the live performing arts experienced one of the state's highest unemployment rates during the over 15-month-long pandemic shutdown of small live performance venues.
(i) Each SNPAC creates an average of 64 jobs annually for a cumulative average of 121,436 jobs created by the sector each year.
(j) Establishing a sustainable infrastructure and path for SNPAC growth will improve the health of the entire sector and help small companies grow and increase wages. For many SNPACs, payroll has long been a challenge, because they often have regular turnover as the company of performers and crew will vary from show to show. According to local media reports, paymasters have been charging fees that can drive the employment premium for some California SNPACs as high as 30 percent.
(k) Substantial savings can be achieved by funding regional nonprofit and arts services organizations to act as production worker administration hubs for SNPACs, starting with payroll services. It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature in enacting this measure to fund paymaster and payroll services.
(l) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act to recognize the special circumstances and the charitable nature of SNPACs while promoting job creation in the sector.
Section 8750.5 is added to the Government Code, to read:
8750.5.
(a) "Council" means the Arts Council established pursuant to Section 8751.
(b) "Performing arts" means the types of arts that are performed live for a remote or in person audience, including, but not limited to, music, dance, and drama.
(c) (1) "Nonprofit performing arts organization" means a performing arts organization that is exempt from taxation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and whose primary mission is the creation or presentation of performing arts.
(2) Performing arts organizations that are eligible to apply may also include organizations that are fiscally sponsored organizations and not a formally established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, for which criteria may be determined by the council.
(d) "Small nonprofit performing arts organization" means a nonprofit performing arts organization with an average adjusted gross revenue equal to or less than one million four hundred thousand dollars ($1,400,000), except that this amount shall be adjusted every five years based on the California Consumer Price Index as compiled and reported by the Department of Industrial Relations.
(e) "Adjusted gross revenue" means the average annual revenue received over the preceding three years, in whatever form, received or accrued from whatever source, excluding matching funds received pursuant to Section 8753.8 and excluding revenue earmarked by the grantor or donor solely for capital expenditures or any pass-through funds collected for the benefit of another organization that is received during an organization's tax year.
(f) "Capital expenditures" means funds used by a company to acquire, upgrade, and maintain fixed assets such as property, plants, buildings, technology, or equipment.
(g) "California nonprofit performing arts paymaster" means a person or business entity, contracted by the council and an employer that is a small nonprofit performing arts organization or some other qualifying entity, that does all of the following:
(1) Calculates, processes, and produces wage payments to the employer's employees under the employer's federal employer identification number.
(2) Withholds and remits applicable taxes to government agencies using the employer's federal employer identification number.

A native Marylander, Content began her legal career as a legal secretary for a small law firm in Easton, Maryland, while she took paralegal courses at Chesapeake Community College. Shortly after obtaining a Certificate in Paralegal Studies, Content enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served for 5 years in the cryptology field. During her time in the Navy, Content contained to take sporadic college courses at the University of Alaska in Anchorage. While serving in the Navy and for a year following her honorable discharge from the Navy, Content worked as a paralegal for a small firm in Anchorage.
Content retuned to Maryland and began working in Baltimore as a paralegal. She took the two-day certification exam to become one of the first Certified Legal Assistants in Maryland. She enrolled in Anne Arundel Community College at night and obtained her A.A. degree. Continuing to work fulltime and attend classes at night, Content transferred to the University of Baltimore where she obtained her B.A. and then decided to apply for law school. Upon graduating from law school and passing the bar exam, Content decided to take one more year working full-time and attending evening classes to complete her LL.M. in Taxation. Eight years after returning to Maryland Content had obtained four degrees and had more than 12 years of legal experience.
As an attorney, Content worked as an associate for 3 1/2 years before becoming a partner in a mid-sized Baltimore firm. Three years later she transferred her practice, as a partner, to a large Baltimore firm. From there she decided that her clients and her family could be better served within her own boutique firm focusing on the personal, family, and business needs of individuals and business owners.
Content is able to draw from more than 20 years of experience in the legal field and take full advantage of the law firm technology available to small firms to streamline her practice. This, along with the use of highly trained paralegals and associates allows her to efficiently address the needs of her clients in a cost effective manner.

New Music – Muscle Vest 'Creepy Crawlie'
Muscle Vest are trying to blow your speakers out with new track 'Creepy Crawlie'. It's a truly explosive track from the lit fuse of the intro all the way to the detonation of the chorus. It's beautiful noise, a carefully constructed chaotic soundscape.
The song begins like nails down a chalkboard, the guitars are striking against themselves discordantly creating a truly beautiful sense of unease. With all the hairs on the back of your neck already stood at attention the drums pierce through with anxiety inducing accuracy mirroring the listeners heartbeat.
Then the vocals come in with a suitable amount of blood and venom seeping straight from the gut and onto the mic. At first they swagger until the freefall into the mouth of hell that is the chorus. We dive deeper and deeper as the energy and vitriol slowly builds.
It might be hard to pick the lyrics out of the monumental soundscape that the band creates. To our ear it sounds like a punk-rock middle finger to creepy guys who don't understand the word no. The energy and awfully unsettling sound of the song mirrors the message.
"I am man, hear me roar!"
There's a lot to pick apart in what Muscle Vest have put together. It has elements of the new wave of punk headed by bands like Idles, it also has that ferocious energy that reminds us of Pulled Apart By Horses. But comparisons are fairly tired and it's a completely unique sound.
'Creepy Crawlie' is a track that sends a shiver up your spine and drives a fist into your gut.

Disagreeing Takes Up A Lot Of Brain Real Estate Compared To Agreeing, Study Reports
Sai Teja January 14, 2021
Researchers from Yale University have studied the brains of two people simultaneously while they were engaged in a discussion. The result is quite surprising.
When two people are on the same note of agreeing on something their brains exhibit a calm synchronization of activity focused on sensory areas of the brain.
However, when they disagree, many other regions of the brain are involved in higher cognitive functions as each region combats the other's argument.
The research team reported on Jan 13 in the journal Frontiers of Human Neuroscience.
Joy Hirsch, senior author and Professor of Psychiatry and professor of comparative medicine and neuroscience said that our entire brain is a social processing network which takes a lot more brain real estate to disagree than to agree.
The study recruited 38 adults who were asked to say whether they agreed or disagreed on a series of statements. They then matched pairs based on the responses and used an imaging technology called functional near-infrared spectroscopy to record their brain activity while they engaged in face-to-face discussions.
It showed that when people agreed, the brain activity was harmonious and concentrated on sensory areas of the brain such as the visual system. However, during a disagreement, these areas of the brain were less active. Their activity in the brain's frontal lobes, home of higher-order executive functions seemed to increase.
They added that there is clear synchrony between brains when they agreed, but when they disagreed, these neural coupling seems to disconnect.
Hirsch also said that understanding how our brains work while such agreements and disagreements in a polarized political environment are particularly important.
She concluded by saying that two brains engage many emotional and cognitive resources "like a symphony orchestra playing different music." In agreement, there "is less cognitive engagement and more social interaction between brains of the talkers, similar to a musical duet."

THE FALL OF BATAAN
On 8 Apr 2014 By SCLMRoseIn Philippine History, Philippines, War in the Philipines, WWII
Just as Dec. 7 will be remembered as Day of Infamy, April 9 will be remembered as the The Fall of Bataan.
The American and Filipino forces fought the Japanese valiantly on Bataan for three months after the war started. Then Pres. Roosevelt ordered MacArthur off the Philippines. MacArthur reluctantly obliged, prompting him to make his famous promise of "I shall return".
By the end of March, 1942, the plight of the defenders had become desperate. Lieutenant General Jonathan Wainwright notified Washington that the meager food supplies would be exhausted completely by April 15. By early April, the weak, hungry, demoralized American and Filipino troops had no fight left. By one source, 75 percent had malaria, while all suffered from malnutrition, all horses and water buffalo having been consumed. Seeing the terrible state of his troops, on April 8, Maj. Gen. Edward P. King, commander of Bataan forces, made the anguished decision to surrender. As he rode forward to meet Gen. Homma on April 9, he remembered that Gen. Robert E. Lee had surrendered at Appomattox on the same day. In contrast to the outcome of each battles, Gen. Lee's army was defeated during the Civil War while Japan was defeated during WWII.
On April 9, 76,000 men squeezed onto the tip of Bataan peninsula officially surrendered to the Japanese. They were without food or ammunition, and malaria and dysentery were widespread. They were forced to begin marching up the peninsula which survivors later aptly named the notorious "Bataan Death March". Many more than a thousand deaths awaited the surrendering forces as the Japanese marched them off to a prison camp. The four-day, sixty-three-mile march in ninety-five degree weather would not have been difficult for well-nourished soldiers; but for malaria-ridden, ill-fed troops, the march was brutal. The Japanese killed many prisoners who were unable to move forward. It has been estimated that upwards of 10,000 died along the way from exhaustion or atrocious brutality imposed by their Japanese captors. The suffering survivors were herded into boxcars in San Fernando in the province of Pampanga and taken to an internment camp at Capas in the province of Tarlac. Upon reaching the prison camp, untold more thousands perished for lack of food, water and medical supplies.

I have a veteran uncle who was lucky to have escaped before the March began. With international conflict looming the air once again, I am amazed how man is unable to learn from history

No matter what world leaders say, you wonder if deep down, they really want to conquer the world. It's a macho thing to do.
Warfare is a fascinating subject. Despite the dubious morality of using violence to achieve personal or political aims. It remains that conflict has been used to do just that throughout recorded history.
Your article is very well done, a good read.

Many adaptive tests have been developed in an effort to improve the performance of tests of significance. We will consider a test of significance to be "adaptive" if the test procedure is modified after the data have been collected and examined. For example, if we are using a certain kind of two-sample adaptive test we would collect the data and calculate selection statistics to determine which two-sample test procedure should be used. If the data appear to be normally distributed, then a Wilcoxon rank-sum test would be used; but if the data appear to contain outliers, then a median test would be used.
Adaptive tests of significance have several advantages over traditional tests. They are usually more powerful than traditional tests when used with linear models having long-tailed or skewed distributions of errors. In addition, they are carefully constructed so that they maintain their level of significance. That is, a properly constructed adaptive test that is designed to maintain a significance level of α will have a probability of rejection of the null hypothesis at or near α when the null hypothesis is true. Hence, adaptive tests are recommended because their statistical properties are often superior to those of traditional tests.
The actual level of significance is maintained at or near the nominal significance level of α.


The Earth hurtles through space circling the Sun which also hurtles through space. Whizzing around the Earth is the Moon and everything is flying so damn fast you can only see it if you're racing right along with some of it. Stand still and everything's probably a blur. Luckily, in the scheme of the Universe there may be no such thing as standing still. It may be impossible.
Every rare once in awhile, if you are the Earth, or moving at just its speed and trajectory while nearby (easiest by standing on it), the Moon, swirling around you, will soar across that Sun that you are yourself hurtling around. And though the Moon is tiny compared to the Sun, it will, for a brief moment, block it.
The Moon is way smaller than the Sun. How can it possibly block it all? The same way if you hold your thumb up in front of your face you can block out a distant skyscraper, though your thumb is closer in size to that skyscraper than the Moon is to the Sun. The same way a moth, flying at night, can briefly blot out a star, bigger than the Sun in the same proportion the Sun is to the Moon.
I like to think of all of us as our own planets, mingling and circling each other on the Earth. Separate bodies, standing on Earth, sitting on Earth, circling the Sun. And every 24 hours or so the Earth, from our vantage points, eclipses the Sun. Every night is an eclipse to us. It goes for about 12 hours. During these roughly 12 hours of occlusion, called "night", it is safe to look directly at the sun. Stare at the ground.
There is always something in front of something else. Screen in front of shelf with books, in front of wall, in front of tree, in front of cloud in front of sky. Look at you, reading this. I have hidden the whole world behind it.
Today is the solar eclipse. But as far as eclipses go, all around you, everywhere, is full of eclipse. A million things in eclipse. There is always something in front of something else. We are mostly in shadows. And when the eclipse is full, which, right now, in some way or another, it is for everything you have ever known or ever been, it is safe to look. So go ahead and open your eyes.

The original was issued by the C&O's Railway's Valuation Department in Richmond, VA, but this is a 122 page reproduction that includes each station, the state County, District (of the C&O), valuation section, tracing number, and mile post of the C&O (main and branch line), former HV, former PM, a supplemental section that lists when certain stations were no longer listed and former names of stations. The tunnel section includes the name of the tunnel, the valuation section, state, county, line, tracing number, and mile post. For researchers, the county information could prove very useful in tracking down information from County libraries and tax assessors offices. The information in the "supplemental section" could also be useful to researchers to provide new avenues of pursuit.

How Christians in Iraq celebrate Christmas
by Dunja Hayali
Das Deutsche in der Welt (Ausgabe IV/2010)
Christians form a minority in Iraq but Christmas is still celebrated.
This also happens in our family: the festivities begin on 25 December. The Christians go to church in the morning. After mass, the men meet for coffee, they eat sweets and play "tavli" or backgammon. The women go home to prepare the meal and enjoy being among themselves for a change. In the evening, they traditionally eat "Kuba-Qaisi", rice dumplings stuffed with mutton in a sweet and sour sauce. It is accompanied by dried fruits, dates or apricots.
When I was a child, my parents and I often visited our family in Iraq over Christmas. Every year there was the same artificial and magnificently decorated Christmas tree. I had never seen so much tinsel and so many baubles before. But notably no presents for us children sat underneath the tree. At the most, we were given clothes from our older siblings or cousins. But that doesn't mean there weren't presents at all. Father Christmas also comes in Iraq, but turns up on New Year's Eve. His name is "Noel Baba" and he gives the children some goodies. But the presents were not as important as the family gathering itself. These Christmases were always special to me. When my parents came to Germany in 1956, they adopted German customs. Since then, our family has had an Advent wreath, raclette or fondue and, of course, presents.

A Chinese satellite takes images of San Francisco in just 42 seconds sharp enough to identify a military vehicle on the street
Dec 28, 2021 19:37 GMT
A team of researchers pointed out that the images made by Beijing-3 from an altitude of 500 kilometers have a resolution of 50 centimeters per pixel.
In just 42 seconds, a Chinese satellite captured images of a wide area around the city of San Francisco (California, USA) that would be sharp enough to identify a military vehicle on the street and know what kind of weapon it might carry, the South China Morning Post reported on Tuesday.
Beijing-3, a small one-ton commercial satellite launched last June by the Asian giant, carried out an in-depth scan of the central area of the San Francisco Bay, about 3,800 square kilometers. The scientists, who participated in the project, detailed that the images, taken from an altitude of 500 kilometers, have a resolution of 50 centimeters per pixel.
In addition, they noted that the performance test conducted over North America and other areas showed that the satellite could take images while her body rotated up to 10 degrees per second, a speed never seen before on a satellite. Most Earth observation satellites must be stable when taking images, since attitude control mechanisms can produce vibrations that blur the images.
🇨🇳#China's Beijing-3 satellite rotates 10 ° / sec, taking images at 50 cm / pixel while wildly rolling & yawing, allowing better overall performance than US competitors though not as sharp {30 cm / pixel} Response time is 2-3 times faster than WorldView-4, US 'most advanced observation pic.twitter.com/iHOC0MU8Vr
– Devi Rhamesz (@ChrliesWarchest) December 27, 2021
"China started relatively late with agile satellite technology, but achieved a great number of advances in a short period of time," said a team of researchers from the Beijing-based DFH Satellite Company, in an article published in the national magazine Spacecraft Engineering. "The level of our technology has reached a position of world leadership"he added.
The most agile satellite
Despite its small size and relatively low cost, Beijing-3 was considered the most agile satellite and could be one of the Earth's observation satellites most powerful ever builtaccording to Yang Fang, the project's principal investigator.
A satellite in the lowest orbit can normally observe a straight, narrow strip below it. You must circle the Earth several times or work with other satellites to cover a region of interest. The agility of the Beijing-3 allowed it to perform some observation tasks previously considered technically impossible. For example, it took images of the 6,300-kilometer-long Yangtze River between the Tibetan Plateau and the East China Sea during a single flight from north to south over China, experts said.
With artificial intelligence technology on board, the satellite could independently plan its flight schedule to monitor up to 500 areas of interest around the world with almost 100 return visits a day.
In addition, it is capable of detecting the presence of certain targets and sending their photos to Earth. According to Yang and his colleagues, the response time of Beijing-3 is 2 to 3 times faster than WorldView-4, the most advanced observation satellite of our planet developed by the United States with similar technology, although this You can take slightly more detailed photos with a resolution of 30 centimeters per pixel.
The Earth observation market is dominated by the West
For his part, Qi Yimin, sales director of DFH Satellite Company, stated that although the Asian giant has caught up with technology, the world market for Earth observation is still dominated by the West. He noted that the images taken by Chinese satellites were used by more than 20,000 companies in the country and generated about $ 41 billion in annual revenue.
However, only a small number of countries – such as Egypt, India and the Netherlands – had purchased commercial satellite imagery from China. "The commercial satellites of our country started late, the industrial chain is not yet mature and the business is still in the initial phase of development ", concluded the specialist.

Mobilenomics: Eric Qualman Is Back!
The master of Social Media Videos returns with another...this time pertaining to the Mobile Movement. I'll say it again, is your business ready?
Everybody needs to see this. Period.
Engagement on Social Media platforms is paramount.
There are two problems here. What constitutes "Interesting Material?" and the other obvious one; People are not engaging on their platform the way they would like.
Let's first begin by defining what being engaging on Social Media is. Social Media engagement is defined as the real interaction between the page admin/management and its followers or subscribers on the platforms and networks (Technorati). Whether that entails asking open-ended questions, responding, posting and inducing an environment encouraging ideas, is set by the mission statement and target audience at hand.
Forbes mentions that the successful users "monitor, observe and response based on what they learn," and they go to great lengths to actually talk to their followers instead of only relying on automatic posts.
It's important to note, the most valuable brand in the history of the world, Apple, has no social media engagement (Shaefer). On the contrary, Dell, the gold standard of social engagement, is flapping and has a stock price hovering nearing a five-year low. So is "engagement" a real predictor of success?
Would you invest, purchase or do business with an "engaging-only" organization, promoting just engagement and no ties to any business or direction? It is paramount in maintaining a professional online feel as well inducing an environment welcoming questions, engagement and brand advocacy. If done well, the benefits are priceless.
Finding the correct balance is difficult, particularly if one does not understand their audience and what message they are trying to convey.
Above are a number of observations on engagement and I welcome your views and additions in the comment section!

I remember visiting BYU’s Museum of Art while taking a class on art history. This image moved me at the time, and still does. I love the masterful mixture of a beautiful landscape in the background, bright colors and detail in the foreground, and a touching scene between friends.

What happens when you carry a heavy purse?
Your muscles are off balance because all the weight from your purse is on one shoulder. By carrying an asymmetric load your posture is thrown off. This can cause muscles in the shoulder you keep your purse on to become bigger. It can cause asymmetry in posture, where one shoulder is higher than the other. One shoulder is forced to be more developed than the muscles on the other side. This can also cause muscles in your spine to compensate for the weight, causing the opposite side of the spine to go into spasm. This can affect the lower back and the sacrum, the bone at the base of the lower spine. When the load is asymmetric, then everything below the shoulder will have to work more.
Muscles can become stiff. The trapezius muscle sits on top of your shoulders, it can spasm and tighten, as well as the muscles that go from shoulder to the base of the neck. It causes stiffness in the upper back, shoulder, and neck area. When the neck is forced to carry heavy weight for a long period of time, sometimes people develop arthritis in their neck and lower neck. The muscles that help to carry the purse are delicate and assist with turning the head, that action can become painful.
Your gait, or the way your arms and legs swing when you walk naturally, can be thrown off by carrying weight on one shoulder. Your body is no longer balanced, the side the purse is on makes it so the arm on that side can't swing properly, and the opposite ram swings more.
Tension headaches can develop from muscles being forced to do the heavy lifting. When muscles in the shoulder and neck spasm, it can cause pain in the back of the skull that radiates to the front.
What can be done to fix this damage?
Don't carry more than ten percent of your body weight. With a purse, it's recommended not to carry more than five percent because the purse may be heavy and the weight of the purse needs to be taken into account.
Don't look down! Texting, or looking down while carrying a purse will cause the curve of our neck to get flat.
Bags with wider straps distribute the weight of the bag over a wider area, protecting structures in the shoulder where nerves are from the neck into the arm.
Bags that have alternative strap options, like handles, and long straps so it can be worn cross-body to distribute weight better and gives shoulders a periodic break.
Switch sides. When you're walking, switch your purse to the opposite shoulder every one or two blocks so you are balancing how your body carries the weight and so muscles develop equally.
Choose a bag that is right for your body. A purse that is too short or high up will affect how your arm can swing. A purse that is too long affects the way your hips swing when you walk. You want to swing hips and shoulders without the bag bumping them.
High heels and heavy purses can be a dangerous combination. Heels cause your pelvis to tilt forward which can cause back pain. Add in a purse and you have more of a chance of causing pain and injury.
Switching to a backpack means you're carrying weight on two shoulders instead of one, making it easier to bear the burden. The backpack shouldn't hang more than four inches below the waist, which can cause you to lean forward to compensate, which can strain your muscles.
Exercise, stretch, do yoga, light weights. Forms of exercise help ensure that your shoulders are equally toned and strong. Walking without a bag now and then helps to restore your natural gait.
Switch purse sizes. Large purses are easier to fill up with unnecessary things that weigh it down. Consider switching to a smaller purse.
Consider your health. Handbags may be a way for you to have a certain look or make a certain statement but consider what's best for your overall health.

It is hard for us to find much in common with Herod in today's Gospel. He is willing to put John in jail because he doesn't like what he has to say about Herod's moral choices. Then, instead of going back on a promise he made and losing face, he has John killed. His decisions, obviously, are wrong. We are rarely placed in a similar situation where a moral question is that black and white.
In all likelihood, however, there are more subtle times in our lives where we face these challenges. Are there times when we know a person or idea is right, but we are afraid that people will think less of us if we stand up for it? When someone is willing to speak a hard truth to us, do we take it to heart, or do we put up a wall and respond in anger? Are we willing to listen to the prophetic voices in our lives?
St. John the Baptist, you weren't afraid to speak the truth, even when it was not well received. May we have the courage to hear what God is calling us to in our lives so that we, like you, may point others to a deeper relationship with Jesus.
