Fact-checking the first Trump-Biden presidential debate
President Trump unleashed a blizzard of falsehoods and incessant interruptions of both Biden and debate moderator Chris Wallace Tuesday night in Cleveland at the first of three debates. Biden hewed more closely to the facts, but he strayed at times.
By Chris MegerianStaff Writer
President Trump unleashed a blizzard of falsehoods Tuesday night in Cleveland at the first of three debates with Joe Biden — no surprise for a commander in chief who has set a new low for shading the truth and even lying in office.
His distortions were almost as rapid-fire as his incessant interruptions of both Biden and debate moderator Chris Wallace, on topics ranging from the economy to the coronavirus to healthcare. At one point he even accused Biden of playing more golf than he does. Biden hewed more closely to the facts, but he strayed at times. Here's a look at how each candidate did.
No, Trump isn't protecting coverage for preexisting conditions.
"We guaranteed preexisting conditions," Trump said.
The facts: This is one of Trump's most common falsehoods. The 2010 Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — includes the provision that bars health insurance companies from refusing to cover people with preexisting medical conditions. Trump has been calling for the entire law to be eliminated, and his administration is allied with conservative states on a lawsuit to kill it. The case is now before the Supreme Court, which will hear arguments the week after the election.
Because assured coverage for preexisting conditions is so popular, Trump repeatedly says he is ready with a substitute healthcare program that would retain the guarantee if the court strikes down the law. Yet he said he had such a plan four years ago, and neither he nor congressional Republicans have agreed on an alternative. Last week, Trump signed an executive order declaring his intention to protect people with preexisting conditions, but it otherwise does nothing.
No, Biden didn't call Trump's China travel ban "xenophobic."
Trump: "I closed it, and you said, 'He's xenophobic.'"
The facts: Whenever challenged about his mishandling of the coronavirus crisis, Trump points to one of his earliest decisions — restricting travel from China, where the pandemic began. However, it was not the ironclad ban that he describes. The Jan. 31 order applied only to mainland China, not Hong Kong, and it allowed tens of thousands of Americans there to return to the U.S., where screening of arrivals was spotty. Although the travel restrictions bought some time before the pandemic worsened here, public health experts say Trump squandered that by failing to prepare widespread testing and tracing to detect and isolate outbreaks.
Trump frequently claims that Biden opposed the restrictions and called them "xenophobic." He distorts the former vice president's comments. The day after Trump's announcement, Biden tweeted that "we need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump's record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering." He did not mention the ban or travel from China.
No, the economy isn't back yet.
Trump: "We're doing record business."
The facts: Trump often claims that the country is quickly rebounding from the coronavirus crisis, which forced tens of millions of people out of their jobs. He calls it a "V-shaped" recovery — sometimes upgrading it to a "super V" — suggesting a steep decline followed by a fast ascent.
There are definitely some signs that the economy is on the upswing. The unemployment rate reached 14.7% in April but has since fallen to 8.4%. However, that's still nearly as high as the peak jobless rate — 10% — in President Obama's first year, when the country was clawing out of the worst financial and economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Any recovery could be endangered by a renewed coronavirus outbreak, which could force additional restrictions on businesses and public gatherings. Trump has frequently dismissed the need for social distancing or masks, and he's holding rallies where supporters are crowded together, most without protection.
How much did Trump pay in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017?
Trump: "Millions of dollars"
The facts: It's impossible for voters to judge because Trump broke with a decades-long tradition of White House candidates releasing their tax returns. He said again in the debate that he cannot make his returns public because they are under audit. But the Internal Revenue Service has said audits do not preclude taxpayers from releasing their own returns.
The New York Times reported this week, based on leaked copies of Trump's returns, that the president paid only $750 in federal income taxes for the year he was elected and for his first year in office — a startlingly low amount for someone who claims to be a billionaire running a successful real estate business. For 10 of the previous 15 years, he paid no federal income taxes at all. Trump avoided taxes by reporting steep losses, and the returns show he's facing hundreds of millions of dollars in debts that have placed him in a financial bind.
No, mail-in ballots don't lead to widespread voter fraud.
Trump: "This is going to be a fraud like you've never seen."
The facts: Ever since Trump began his first campaign five years ago, he's baselessly claimed that U.S. elections are rife with fraud and rigged against him. This election is no different, and his allegations still don't stand up to scrutiny.
Trump singles out mail-in ballots, which voters are expected to use in much larger numbers this year because of concerns about contracting the coronavirus at crowded polling places. The president says the ballots could be forged by anyone, including a foreign country, but local election officials say that would be impossible given safeguards such as bar codes on envelopes.
Trump also complained about "unsolicited" mail ballots. He exaggerates the number of states that automatically send ballots to voters; all of the crucial swing states, such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, require residents to request mail-in ballots. And he ignores the fact that such ballots have been used widely in many states for years, and election experts say there's no evidence of widespread fraud.
No, the trade deficit with China isn't higher now.
Biden: "We have a higher deficit with China now than we did before."
The facts: The United States has long run a big trade deficit with China, importing more Chinese goods than it sells to the country. Trump promised to close the gap when he took office. During his first years in office he failed, and the trade deficit grew from $346.8 billion in 2016 to $418.9 billion in 2018. However, due to Trump's tariffs, the deficit fell last year to $345.2 billion, roughly in line with the figure in the year before Trump took office.

Issue is due to the fact that lineage 14.1 bullhead nightlies are based on the 7.1.2 N2G47F (Apr 2017) monthly update from google.
you already know a bit about flashing you android device and you already installed TWRP.
it should be: f5d53a67662d1b4c2b2325813d823fc49ad9fb4a5b5361e91c3aff00157c1ddf bullhead-n2g47f-factory-f5d53a67.zip.
Now reboot system and see it is fixed, no more alert.
Wait... what about bootloader and radio?
We just fixed the origin of the error message but your android is not fully updated.
Next steps will just take less than a minute.
For radio and bootloader we will use fastboot (as suggested in xda-developers).
You may be in the bootloader here before going on.
Now you are done, your Nexus 5x is fully updated!
does this work for 15.1?
@barraponto Yes, it does. I've already tried.
This will not work with 15.1 nightlies, no. On the developer download page, find the version that matches the error you get on your phone. You can't use any build except the one your build of LineageOS was built against.
The procedure works for LOS 15.1, if you choose the correct factory image.
These steps work, though of course, you have to change the factory image you download to the one that the error message specifically calls for.
Just leaving this here. Chainfire created this website to automatically scrape different sources (including Google) and host individual images. So you don't need to download the whole flashable zip which includes system and other stuff.
Edit: Looks like vendor images aren't available, just boot and recovery. Sorry about that.
@julianlam, thanks for providing this hint! worked for me!
@jvndl In TWRP, when you tap "install", it will be looking for archives, so that is correct, you will not see vendor.img. You will need to tap "install image" at the bottom and then you will be able to find vendor.img. Remember to tap "vendor" again at the next screen before flashing.
This started annoying me in June and I just decided to go to the trouble to fix it. Thanks for the tips.
because my version of adb was complaining that the destination was a directory, not a file.
@jvndl In TWRP one must click the Image button in /sdcard before one can see the vendor.img file. After that select only vendor checkbox to limit the install.

How Hulu Got Serious About Comedy
By Josef Adalian@tvmojoe

Something funny is happening at Hulu. The streaming network whose original output had heretofore been best defined by the grim drama of The Handmaid's Tale has spent the first few months of 2019 rolling out one buzzworthy new half-hour comedy after another. The February release of middle-school memoir PEN15 was followed in March with the Aidy Bryant–led adaptation of author Lindy West's Shrill and in April by comic Ramy Youssef's Ramy, a semi-autographical examination of what it's like to be Muslim and a millennial. Hulu doesn't release viewing statistics, but critics have been ecstatic about the newcomers and sophomore seasons seem highly likely. (Indeed, Shrill has already snagged a renewal.) All three shows also figure, in varying degrees, to be a part of the award-season conversation leading up to July's announcement of Emmy nominations.
Overseeing Hulu's 2019 comedy boomlet is Craig Erwich, a TV-industry veteran who's headed up original content at the streaming network since 2014 and has been a key part of its recent growth surge (it added 8 million subscribers in 2018, ending last year with 25 million subscribers). The former Fox and Warner Bros. exec rightly pushes back on any suggestion Hulu hasn't had success in the comedy space before now: In addition to making 50 episodes of The Mindy Project after Fox killed the show, the streamer's Casual, Difficult People, and still-in-production Future Man all found audiences, he says. The release of these three highly acclaimed newcomers signals a new era of auteur-driven comedy originals at Hulu, one with the potential to boost the streamer's comedy brand in much the same way Handmaid's Tale changed the perception of its dramas. Ahead of Hulu's "newfront" presentation to advertisers Wednesday, Vulture talked to Erwich about how these new shows came to be, why they were all rolled out in proximity to one another, and what's next on the network's comedy space. Our conversation also touched on some non-comedy topics, including the upcoming revivals of Veronica Mars and Animaniacs, the new true-crime limited series The Act, and what (if any) effect Disney's taking ownership control of Hulu will have on future development plans.
All three of the new comedies you've launched in 2019 have debuted to great reviews and buzz. When you were putting together this slate, was there something specific you wanted to lean into?
It's a few things. You want shows that are relevant. You want shows that reflect the culture. You want to hear people talking about them on line at Starbucks. We're not looking to do much niche programming, but one of the ways I really know we've hit it is when I see our shows being written about not in the entertainment section but in the style or politics sections or in the New Yorker.
The other thing we talk about is making sure that any of our originals have a degree of relevancy to them and are about something. Entertainment first, right? But when you look at PEN15 and sexuality from the point of view of girls versus boys, that's something. Shrill certainly had something to say. That was core to the premise of the show. Ramy was highly relevant: It's,
"How do you be a person of faith and a millennial?" So those are ingredients that we look for.
Is it also about driving sign-ups?
Yeah, you have to create something of value. You have to create a reason for people to talk about it. These shows all go toward building up Hulu as a brand that people have to have in their lives.
A lot of your other success had been with dramas. Did it just seem like now was a good time to put more of an emphasis on comedies?
Well, there's a huge opportunity for original comedy on Hulu, given the preexisting massive comedy audience that we have around shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Mindy and Goldbergs and Black-ish and our adult animation shows like South Park and Family Guy. So, that's No. 1: There's a base of viewership that can launch success.
I assume, as with other streaming services, some of your choices are informed by data. Based on several years' worth of audiences watching Hulu comedies, did the data tell you anything that led to these shows getting made?
Here's what our data tells us: It tells us that each of our viewers has a lot of different needs, so we have to provide a broad array of programming for them. No two viewers are alike, and each viewer might have different tastes, depending on the mood or the place that they're in. So one of the jobs of our originals is to provide a broad slate. If you look at where we've had success on our original slate, starting with some of the early ones like Difficult People or The Handmaid's Tale or The Looming Tower, they've all been able to be highly entertaining but also break through the clutter by having touch-points for what's in the news or what's in the culture.
So I don't know how many people watched Difficult People or Casual, because you don't give out ratings. Those shows both got pretty good reviews, but it does seem like this batch of comedies is generating a lot more of that buzz you want. Why do you think that is?
Hulu has had massive growth over the last few years. We added 8 million subscribers. Last year, we were the fastest-growing streaming service. So it gives you a massive sample size for these shows to weave themselves into the fabric of popular culture. Hulu, at 8 million subscribers with Difficult People, probably was able to generate a little less noise and conversation than Hulu at our last announced number of 25 million. You basically have converted and deputized more evangelists for Hulu and for the shows that we're championing.
Did you learn any lessons from those earlier Hulu comedies about what works or doesn't work?
The lessons that we've learned are the lessons that you have to be reminded of over and over and over again, no matter how long you do this: Look for a pure, authentic voice and a piece of talent that can deliver a very focused story for the viewer. Ramy and Shrill and PEN15—all those shows exist for a reason. The other thing that we've learned is, each show has to be the best version of itself. We're not looking to put every show into one brand, or make it for one segment [of the audience]. We just want them to be the most fully realized versions of themselves. That's where we've had the greatest programming success.
Is it a coincidence that all three of these new comedies are created or co-created by millennials and are about millennial lives?
I can tell you this: Generation and demographic are usually the last things that enter into our conversations around development and programming. With Ramy, being a millennial was very specific to the theme of the show. On the other shows, the fact that the creators may have fallen into the category of millennials was quite frankly incidental. Because not all millennials are created equal in terms of creators, and not all millennials watch the same thing.
You said you're not looking to serve niche audiences with your shows. But how much of your philosophy mirrors that of HBO before Netflix came around, where getting Emmy voters and critics and sites like Vulture really excited about programming was often just as important as ratings?
Critics are one input, but they are not the sole or only or even first input. We are looking to be entertainment first. We're looking for the fans of the shows to be highly engaged; we want them to watch a lot of these shows. Look at The Act, for instance. That show has multiple audiences. Generationally, it's a mother-daughter story. Genre-wise, it's for true-crime fans. And critics have really flocked to it. So we made that show for a bunch of audiences, and we've been really successful at satisfying each of them.
You've already ordered a second season of Shrill. What can you say about renewals for PEN15 and Ramy?
I would say the prospects of PEN15 are looking very promising. Ramy just premiered.
I know Ramy is pretty new to the service, but second seasons are pretty normal for Hulu shows, no?
Well, we don't give second seasons as a standard operating procedure. You see us give second seasons to shows that have served the objectives of our originals. Either they've got a sizable and engaged audience, [or] it's somehow enhanced the Hulu brand through the quality and quantity of the conversation.
What's the backstory for Shrill, PEN15, and Ramy landing at Hulu? Was it all about internal development, or did you simply bid the most?
I would say that the through-line is empowered and passionate executives and talent who demanded that these stories be told. In the instance of PEN15, that was a preexisting presentation that our comedy executive Billy Rosenberg had worked on, and he was relentless in getting it picked up at Hulu. With Shrill, they came in and talked about this incredibly funny commercial comedy that was also deeply relevant and provocative in the way they used the word fat and wanting to take ownership of that word. That was a show we knew we had to have. There is a tradition of some success here with female-driven comedies. We were looking for the heir to The Mindy Project, and that was one of them. I also wanted to be in business with world-class talent Aidy [Bryant], Lindy [West] and Ali [Rushfield]. And with Ramy, this was a guy who demanded to have his voice heard and to make the show as he knew how to make it because he's lived this life.
Were other outlets competing for any of these shows?
I know that there were many people who wanted Ramy. We gave him the resources to actually go out and make something, which I believe was attractive for him. It's a very competitive marketplace. At any given time, there are multiple bidders on shows, and we are competitive on a daily basis. But it has to be driven by our passion and our belief. We're not competitive for the sake of winning something.
You don't just write checks.
Well, we're happy to write checks for the must-have talent and the must-have stories.
I'm not trying to say money isn't always a big consideration. I know creators don't just come to Hulu because of Craig Erwich's smiling face.
No, they don't, but I will say this: I don't think it's just money. You have to create an environment where people can do their best work. When you talk about the success of Casual and Difficult People, we made a good environment for those creators. The other thing that's really important is that we market our shows. We're out there telling the world, "Hey, we're really excited about this."
I'm curious about the marketing strategy behind the launches of these three comedies. Did you purposely release them within the same roughly three-month period to build momentum?
We were intentional in how we released them, knowing that fans of PEN15 were also likely to be fans of Shrill and of course Ramy. We knew, over the course of these few months, we could aggregate a really unique and special viewing experience for the sizable comedy audience that we have.
The Handmaid's Tale was an instant awards-season player after its first season. How intense will your Emmy campaigns be for the half-hours?
We're going to be aggressive where appropriate. It is no secret it's a very competitive game. Emmys and nominations are definitely a validation.
Will the next batch of comedies you're developing for Hulu be dramatically different from the ones you just rolled out? Or will you try to launch more shows similar in tone since these seem to be working well?
Our goal is always to surprise people through freshness of voice and discovering the next generation of talent. I'll give you an example: A show that was very successful for us, that we've ordered season three for, is Future Man. That's a very different kind of comedy [than PEN15, Shrill, and Ramy]. They all ladder up to our real main purpose, which is just to serve a variety of different types of shows to a variety of tastes for a wide variety of our viewers.
What about a multi-camera comedy? Your library includes a lot of really successful traditional half-hours such as The Golden Girls. Is that kind of comedy something that's on the agenda?
We are agnostic of form, so we don't make a distinction between multi-camera or single camera. It's really, "What's the show about?" And we have some of the great multi-camera sitcoms of all time on Hulu that new generations are discovering. I don't think that's how people make viewing decisions. So, yes: Right creator, right show? We would happily do a multi-cam.
Anything in development on that front?
We have some in development. We haven't greenlit any.
Will you roll out any more new comedies this year, or have you launched everything you planned for 2019?
That's all we have really scheduled in terms of the pipeline for 2019. But again, given the demands for comedy from our audience, we're being very aggressive about our development efforts. There are Hulu viewers who love comedy. That's what they want to watch most of the time. And we need to make sure that they're happy.
One of your first original comedies was The Awesomes, which was an adult animation show. I know Animaniacs is coming back via Hulu, but will you be doing more adult animated comedies?
Well, we have probably the best collection of animation anywhere. South Park, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, Rick and Morty, to name a few. There is a massive hunger and appreciation for that form. It certainly creates opportunities to launch the next generation of hits. And we will continue to be aggressive and selective about what we undertake.
How is Animaniacs coming along?
I saw the first animatic and I loved it. You know, Animaniacs was originally a show that kids and their parents could watch together. And I think this new incarnation of it is going to do exactly the same.
Let's move on to some other areas. The Act has done very well, based on the information you've released about it. Is that going to continue as a franchise for Hulu with new installments of the anthology?
The Act was developed as a stand-alone story, with the option to do other true-crime stories under that banner. It's been massively successful. And while you can never kind of exactly diagnose what makes anything successful, certainly another signature true-crime show for Hulu would be a huge opportunity. If we can find a story that measures up to the "oh my God" of season one of The Act, we'll certainly be aggressive about that.
Would you keep the name and producers?
It really depends on the details. Our focus right now is, "What's that story?" We could develop that story outside of that banner with other producers. The title, the franchise, the organizing principle of the franchise is not going to drive the decision.
You've announced the Veronica Mars revival will debut this summer. How's it looking?
I think this show will reinforce what people fell in love with the first time and why Kristen Bell is one of the biggest television stars today. We've ordered a limited run of it.
Do you think there will be more installments beyond what's coming this summer?
It is a wholly contained storytelling experience in season one. But like the original, if there's demand for more, and if Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell have a way to tackle it and are available, we're certainly open to that.
The Handmaid's Tale is also returning this summer for season three. What's your thinking right now on how long that series goes?
The story and the characters will tell us and lead us to the right decision. Right now, I think they're incredibly vibrant and vital. There are things in season three that are going to astound people. The franchise is at the top of its game. Gilead is a very complicated and multidimensional world that's going to allow for a lot of different types of stories to be told for a while.
I know it's early days and technically not much has changed yet, but Disney now has operational control of Hulu and may be on track to take full ownership of the service. What do you think this will mean for Hulu?
It provides a tremendous opportunity for Hulu. The Walt Disney Company has been tremendously supportive of both our strategy and of our momentum. You don't become the fastest growing SVOD service last year without the support of and alignment with your owners. You look at that combined capacity and bench strength of talent that this new operation has, and we're eager to tap into it.
This is a bit of a left-field question, but is Hulu disadvantaged by the fact that there are ads on your shows, unless subscribers pay for the ad-free level? Even if you offer the same creative freedom as other services, creators at Hulu have to write to ad breaks while those on HBO or Showtime or Netflix don't. Have creators ever cited that as a reason for taking their show elsewhere?
It never comes up in conversation. And I think the reason is that for many years — the majority of the history of television—an ad-supported environment has never been an obstacle towards quality. ER, The West Wing, Mad Men, Breaking Bad — those were all on ad-supported platforms, and those are all some of the great shows of our time. So I don't think it's an impediment towards creativity.
Broadcast networks sometimes cite advertiser objections as reasons to not allow creators to explore certain themes or even use certain language. Have you ever had to alter your content on Hulu because of advertiser pushback?
We're all about giving choice to our customers, whether the customers are the viewer or the advertiser. If there are advertisers who want to opt out of more mature content, we can facilitate that. But quite frankly, most advertisers want to be associated with a platform that is producing originals at that quality that we are, and therefore it's really not much of an issue.

Ото I (; * ок. 1340; † 13 декември 1394, Хардегзен) от род Велфи (Стар Дом Брауншвайг), е херцог на Брауншвайг-Люнебург и от 1367 до 1394 г. княз на Гьотинген.

Живот
Син е на херцог Ернст I (1305 – 1367) и Елизабет фон Хесен († 7 март 1390), дъщеря на ландграф Хайнрих II фон Хесен "Железния".

Ото I управлява през 1364 г. първо заедно с баща си и от 1367 г. сам. Той се съюзява с други рицари и воюва против князе и градове. Той е изгонен от Гьотинген и отива да живее в замък Бург Хардег в Хардегзен, който купил през 1379 г., и умира там през 1394 г.

Mosquito-borne virus found in horse in Georgia
A horse in the Savannah, Ga., area has tested positive for Eastern equine encephalitis, or EEE, a mosquito-borne virus that causes swelling of the brain and is fatal in horses 70 to 90 percent of the time.
The virus has been detected in the mosquito population in Effingham and Chatham counties, said Coastal Health District spokesperson Sally Silbermann.
Horse and large animal owners are encouraged to vaccinate their animals against the virus and to clean out watering sources every three to four days to prevent mosquitoes from breeding there.
The primary mosquito that transmits the virus breeds in freshwater swamps.
Although no human cases of disease have been reported in Georgia this year, humans are susceptible to EEE.
All residents are also encouraged to use EPA-registered insect repellents containing 20- to 30-percent DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus to protect themselves from mosquitoes and to get rid of standing water around the home and in the yard where mosquitoes can breed.
Remembering the 5Ds of mosquito bite prevention can also help prevent mosquito bites and breeding:
Dusk/Dawn – Avoid dusk and dawn activities during the summer when mosquitoes are most active.
Dress – Wear loose-fitting, long sleeved shirts and pants to reduce the amount of exposed skin.
DEET – Cover exposed skin with an insect repellent containing DEET, which is the most effective repellent against mosquito bites.
Drain - Empty any containers holding standing water - buckets, barrels, flower pots, tarps - because they are breeding grounds for virus-carrying mosquitoes.
Doors – Make sure doors and windows are in good repair and fit tightly, and fix torn or damaged screens to keep mosquitoes out of the house.

The Surprising Last Words of 11 Entertainers
BY Chris Higgins
What do actors, musicians, and writers say when they die? I consulted the reference Last Words of Notable People by Bill Brahms to collect eleven examples. Read on, and get a hanky ready.
1. Bob Hope (1903-2003)
The words: "Surprise me."
The story: "Bob" Hope's full name was Leslie Townes Hope. As an actor and radio personality, he became best known in his later years for entertaining American troops stationed overseas. He died at Toluca Lake, California at the ripe old age of 100. His wife Dolores asked Bob where he wanted to be buried, prompting his last words.
Reports of Hope's death were greatly exaggerated in 1998, when the Associated Press accidentally released a prepared obituary. The incorrect news spread so rapidly that it was announced on the floor of the US House. Representative Bob Stump, R-Arizona, Chairman of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, broke the "news."
2. Glenn Miller (1904-1944)
The words: "Where the hell are the parachutes?"
The story: Glenn Miller was a big band leader and US Army Major during WWII. Miller boarded a plane bound from England to Paris, where he planned to perform concerts for troops on leave in Europe. His last recorded words as he boarded the plane (above) were spoken to Colonel Norman Baesell, who replied: "What's the matter Miller, don't you want to live forever?" The plane was lost over the English Channel.
3. Eugene O'Neill, Senior (1888-1953)
The words: "I knew it! I knew it! Born in a hotel room and, goddamn it, dying in a hotel room."
The story: O'Neill was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, best known for Long Day's Journey into Night and The Iceman Cometh. He was born in a room at the Broadway hotel on what is now Times Square. He died at age 65 in a Boston hotel after suffering neurological disease. The hotel was later turned into the Shelton Hall dorm at Boston University.
O'Neill had an alcoholic son, Eugene O'Neill Jr., who committed suicide in 1950 at the age of 40. The Junior O'Neill wrote in his note, "Never let it be said of O'Neill that he failed to empty a bottle. Ave atque vale." (The last phrase is Latin for "Hail and farewell.")
4. "Alfalfa" (Carl Switzer) (1927-1959)
The words: "I want that fifty bucks you owe me and I want it now!"
The Story: Carl Dean "Alfala" Switzer was an actor, best known for his childhood work in Our Gang, though he also appeared as an adult in films including It's a Wonderful Life and Island in the Sky. Switzer's death is a bizarrely complex story that is well-summarized on Wikipedia. Long story short, there was a dispute over a $50 reward for a lost hunting dog, and Switzer was shot and killed by Moses "Bud" Stiltz during a fight over the money. Switzer was just 31.
5. Groucho Marx (1890-1977)
The words: "This is no way to live!"
The story: Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx was widely known for comedy films with his brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo, and Gummo. He also hosted You Bet Your Life. In 1977, he was hospitalized for pneumonia in Los Angeles, and quipped his last.
Groucho's brother Leonard (better known as "Chico") died in 1961. Chico's last words were instructions to his wife: "Remember, Honey, don't forget what I told you. Put in my coffin a deck of cards, a mashie niblick, and a pretty blonde."
6. Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980)
The words: "One never knows the ending. One has to die to know exactly what happens after death, although Catholics have their hopes."
The story: Hitchcock was the Master of Suspense, directing film masterpieces including Vertigo, North By Northwest and Psycho, among others too numerous to mention. He died in April of 1980 in Los Angeles; his funeral was held at the Good Shepherd Catholic Church.
7. "Moe" Howard (Three Stooges) (1897-1975)
The words: "I've been really sick lately, so I'm sorry that I haven't answered yours and Ernie's letters, but I think about you daily."
The story: Harry Moses Horwitz is better known to us as Moe, the Stooge and vaudevillian. He died of lung cancer at age 77 while writing his autobiography (and apparently not enough letters); his wife died months later and they were buried together.
Moe had seen his brother Curly die tragically in 1952. Eddie Deezen's fantastic article The Final Years of Curly (of Three Stooges Fame) tells the story of Curly's life, including this passage:
By the end, Curly could only communicate with Moe by squeezing his hand, sometimes just by blinking his eyes. The hospital supervisor told Moe that Curly's physical and mental deterioration was causing the hospital inconvenience and suggested that Moe move him to a mental institution. Moe adamantly refused.
Eddie also wrote about Shemp: The Forgotten Stooge.
8. Rod Serling (1924-1975)
The words (spoken): "That's what I anticipate death will be: a totally unconscious void in which you float through eternity with no particular consciousness about anything."
The words (written): "You can't kill this tough Jew." (Written from his deathbed to Twilight Zone colleague Owen Comora.)
The story: Rodman Edward Serling is best known for his groundbreaking television show, The Twilight Zone -- he wrote 92 of the 156 episodes, contributed to other shows, and co-wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes, among many others. He was known for political activism, which he injected (often thinly-veiled) into his teleplays. He died aged just 50, after suffering several heart attacks and undergoing open-heart surgery in Rochester, New York.
9. Sid Vicious (1957-1979)
The words: "We had a death pact. I have to keep my half of the bargain. Please bury me next to my baby. Bury me in my leather jacket, jeans and motor cycle boots. Goodbye."
The story: Simon John Ritchie used the stage name Sid Vicious, the notorious bassist for The Sex Pistols. In 1978 he allegedly killed his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen. Vicious/Ritchie killed himself with a heroin overdose the next year, aged just 21. His last words were left in a suicide note found in his jacket pocket. He was cremated, and reports differ about the fate of his ashes. The story is told in the film Sid and Nancy, and it's exactly as devastating as you'd expect.
10. John Wayne (1907-1979)
The words: "Of course I know who you are. You're my girl. I love you."
The Story: John Wayne (born Marion Robert Morrison) won an Oscar for True Grit in 1970, and starred in more than 150 films. He died of stomach cancer, after surviving lung cancer years earlier. His grave is marked with a quotation from his 1971 Playboy interview: "Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
11. Jackie Wilson (1934-1984)
The words: "My heart is crying, crying."
The Story: Jackie Wilson was known as "Mr. Excitement," an R&B singer with soul and verve beyond his years. He collapsed onstage in 1975 while singing his hit song "Lonely Teardrops" as part of Dick Clark's Good Ol' Rock and Roll Revue. Having suffered a stroke, Wilson went in and out of a coma until 1984, when he died at the age of 49. Even when he briefly emerged from the coma, he was unable to speak, leaving his last words a snippet of song. His estate went bankrupt, and Wilson was buried in an unmarked grave. Michael Jackson dedicated his Thriller Album of the Year Grammy to Wilson the year Wilson died. In 1987, a fundraiser collected enough money to place a gravestone on his burial site in Detroit.
More Last Words
This post collects last words from the excellent volume Last Words of Notable People: Final Words of More Than 3500 Noteworthy People Throughout History (now also on Kindle) by Bill Brahms. You can get it from Brahms's website. It is notable not just as an amazing reference (this is a big book!), but as a reference book promoted by former mental_floss writer John Green. Green is a collector of last words, and Brahms's volume collects a series of (disputed) last words of François Rabelais, which are quoted in Green's novel Looking for Alaska.

Background: Spin is defined as the misrepresentation of a study's results, which may lead to misperceptions or misinterpretation of the findings. Spin has previously been found in randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews of acne vulgaris treatments and treatments of various nondermatological conditions. Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the presence of spin in abstracts of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of melanoma therapies and identify any related secondary characteristics of these articles. Methods: We used a cross-sectional approach on June 2, 2020, to search the MEDLINE and Embase databases from their inception. To meet inclusion criteria, a study was required to be a systematic review or meta-analysis pertaining to the treatment of melanoma in human subjects, and reported in English. We used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) definition of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Data were extracted in a masked, duplicate fashion. We conducted a powered bivariate linear regression and calculated odds ratios for each study characteristic. Results: A total of 200 systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria. We identified spin in 38% (n=76) of the abstracts. The most common type of spin found was type 3 (selective reporting of or overemphasis on efficacy outcomes or analysis favoring the beneficial effect of the experimental intervention), occurring 40 times; the least common was type 2 (title claims or suggests a beneficial effect of the experimental intervention not supported by the findings), which was not present in any included abstracts. We found that abstracts pertaining to pharmacologic interventions were 3.84 times more likely to contain spin. The likelihood of an article containing spin has decreased annually (adjusted odds ratio 0.91, 95% CI 0.84-0.99). No significant correlation between funding source or other study characteristics and the presence of spin was identified. Conclusions: We have found that spin is fairly common in the abstracts of systematic reviews of melanoma treatments, but the prevalence of spin in these abstracts has been declining from 1992-2020.

Robert II, called the Pious (French: le Pieux) or the Wise (French: le Sage), was King of the Franks from 996 until his death. The second reigning member of the House of Capet, he was born in Orléans to Hugh Capet and Adelaide of Aquitaine.
Immediately after his own coronation, Robert's father Hugh began to push for the coronation of Robert. "The essential means by which the early Capetians were seen to have kept the throne in their family was through the association of the eldest surviving son in the royalty during the father's lifetime," Andrew W. Lewis has observed, in tracing the phenomenon in this line of kings who lacked dynastic legitimacy. Robert had begun to take on active royal duties with his father in the early 990s. In 991, he helped his father prevent the French bishops from trekking to Mousson in the Kingdom of Germany for a synod called by Pope John XV, with whom Hugh was then in disagreement.
The kingdom Robert inherited was not large, and in an effort to increase his power, he vigorously pursued his claim to any feudal lands that became vacant, usually resulting in war with a counter-claimant. In 1003, his invasion of the Duchy of Burgundy was thwarted, and it would not be until 1016 that he was finally able to get the support of the Church to be recognized as Duke of Burgundy.
The pious Robert made few friends and many enemies, including his own sons: Hugh, Henry, and Robert. They turned against their father in a civil war over power and property. Hugh died in revolt in 1025. In a conflict with Henry and the younger Robert, King Robert's army was defeated, and he retreated to Beaugency outside Paris, his capital. He died in the middle of the war with his sons on 20 July 1031 at Melun. He was interred with Constance in Saint Denis Basilica and succeeded by his son Henry, in both France and Burgundy.

Interface Type

public interface Type

The Type interface is used to represent a method or
 field that has been annotated for serialization. Representing
 methods and fields as a generic type object allows various
 common details to be extracted in a uniform way. It allows all
 annotations on the method or field to be exposed. This can
 also wrap classes that represent entries to a list or map.

▲ A ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the CNU Mandeulmaru Makerspace took place on March 28.
Chonnam National University (CNU) held a Mandulmaru (Makerspace) opening ceremony and its product exhibition on March 28. Mandulmaru is only one professional makerspace in the Honam region, where students can fulfil their bright ideas. It has a production infrastructure where everyone can make their ideas come true with production-related equipment including 3D printers. It operates three educational programs for students and local residents - Open Maker, Advanced Maker, Master Maker. When students complete each course, they can obtain a level certificate with different authority and points.


My design work on the Information Gigabyte release from musicians Flint Glass & Telepherique appears in this year's Regional Design Annual from Print magazine. It is out internationally at most bookstores and newstands currently. Immense thanks to Gwenn Tremorin at Brume Records, Klaus & the Telepherique crew, Martin at Angle Recs, and Aldo at Imprimerie Production for letting me be a part of this project. See links below for more info!

Con High Performance Fuzzy Computing (HPFC) ci si riferisce alle tecnologie utilizzate da supercomputer e computer cluster per creare dei sistemi di elaborazione in grado di effettuare calcoli in Logica Fuzzy con prestazioni molto elevate.
Pertanto può essere visto come un caso particolare del più generale
HPC.
Nel caso specifico della logica fuzzy, però, altri modi per effettuare calcoli in logica fuzzy ad alte prestazioni potrebbero essere considerati casi di HPFC,
seppure in senso allargato, quali ad esempio le implementazioni hardware su DSP o FPGA.
Recentemente infine si sta affermando il calcolo in logica fuzzy effettuato su GPU, come alternativa economica e flessibile agli approcci di cui sopra.

Calico Critter babies can ride in style with a double-decker bus! Features cute piano print and musical note decorations. The seats on the upper deck can be removed and turned over to make a seesaw for the babies. Create a large rainbow slide by setting up the upper part over the front and back of the bus. Removing the seats on the lower deck of the bus reveals a small pool. Seats up to 11 Critter babies and an adult Critter bus driver, sold separately. For ages 3 and up.


The most practical and immediate steps we can take to slow global warming may be lining roadways with towering "artificial trees" and covering buildings with algae bioreactors, argues a new report from Britain's Institution of Mechanical Engineers. The group believes that geoengineering (a broad term for climate-altering technologies) may be necessary to reduce carbon dioxide levels immediately, while governments continue to bicker about how to transition to a low-carbon future. "Geo-engineering is no silver bullet, it just buys us time," said Tim Fox of the IME, who led the study [The Guardian].
Fox says the study (pdf) looked for techniques that could be rolled out with existing technology. The IME's first suggestion is to construct hundreds of thousands of "artificial trees", essentially building- or goalpost-sized structures through which the wind blows. As air passes through them, the "trees" extract CO2 from it for later sequestration [The Register]. The fake trees are intended to be much more efficient at absorbing CO2 than real, biological trees, with current designs estimated to remove one ton of CO2 from the air daily. But even if the devices could be made ten times more efficient, the study found that 100,000 fake trees would be required to absorb the CO2 emissions from all the cars and trucks in the United Kingdom.
The second proposal calls for making cities truly "green" by attaching tubes filled with algae to the sides of buildings. "Algae is a naturally-occurring eco-friendly biomass that tends to have a high level of CO2 use in photosynthesis," said Tom Bowman of IME. The algae that grows can be collected and turned into charcoal, which can be buried so that the CO2 it has captured is locked away from the atmosphere [The Guardian]—if everything works according to plan. However, the study notes that such bioreactors are still expensive, and that it would be challenging to add them to existing buildings. At this point, the study, says, such technology is in the "conceptual stage," but given its potential benefits it deserves further study.
The engineering group isn't the first to evaluate the plausibility of different geoengineering schemes. The IME's study professes to be a realistic look at the potential of implementing various technologies, and specifically excludes some of the more dramatic geoengineering suggestions, like placing giant sunshades in space or continuously sprinkling sun-blocking particles in the upper atmosphere. While such radiation-managing techniques may be more effective, the study says, they also carry more risks; if a large-scale project abruptly failed it would result in sudden, extreme warming, and such systems would also do nothing to change the acidifying effect of carbon dioxide in the oceans. That's why the engineers are supporting technologies that capture and store the excess CO2 already in our atmosphere. But the IME report seems unrealistic in its own way, in that it imagines a swift worldwide adoption of unfamiliar technologies.
The IME has one more suggestion that does dabble in radiation management. Painting rooftops white in cities across the globe wouldn't reflect enough sunlight to have a significant impact on global warming, but it could reduce the "urban heat island" effect, in which acres of dark buildings and pavement cause cities to heat up more than their surroundings. Reflective rooftops would cool buildings and could reduce energy used in air-conditioners by between 10 and 60 per cent, the report says [The Times].
The Institution's report is unlikely to be the last word on geo-engineering. Next week the Royal Society will publish a much broader study that reviews all the options – including the most outlandish, science fiction ideas like sun shades in space – and focussing on the ethical and political problems posed by tampering with the planet's climate systems [BBC News].
This all seems rather silly and attention seeking, especially since man made CO2 is so insignificant.
There was a Barbeque Summer this year, so long as one held it indoors and as for 2009 being one of the hottest years' on record…well just forget it.
Mind you, that's weather & it's climate we are supposed to pay up now for and get the benefit 40 years down the line. Some people just don't know when they are being had!
Propaganda is alive and well today, just like the record number of Polar Bears in the Arctic.
Wouldn't tall buildings be the most expensive place to put algae farms? I can think of quite a few other places that would be much cheaper.
So Neil, who is behind all this propaganda? What do they hope to gain from it?
My science fair projects students found this news article very interesting. Our question is how are the "artificial" trees to be constructed and how what type of carbon foot print will they create during their manufacturing process?
Indeed Neil, there is propaganda and you've swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Check out what real climatologists are saying with the "Start Here" section of realclimate.org (http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/05/start-here/). You can also go to http://scienceblogs.com/illconsidered/2008/07/how_to_talk_to_a_sceptic.php which lists the most common myths/lies/misunderstandings. This site is recommended by climatologists.
Talk show hosts, political think-tanks and political blogs have been lying to you (e.g. manmade CO2 being insignificant…compared to what? Volcanoes? Nope: http://scienceblogs.com/illconsidered/2006/02/volcanos-emit-more-co2.php).
You imply you know the difference between weather and climate, but if you really did you wouldn't used the BBQ summer comment. So check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0JsdSDa_bM where Peter Sinclair gives explains the difference between climate and weather.
If you're going to contradict 97% of climatologists (http://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2009/01/97_of_active_climatologists_ag.php), and every major scientific organization around the world you should at least make an effort to understand the very basics.
If you're not a troll and are seriously interested in what the science actually says (i.e. not in what some political ideologue on either side says), then check those links above. They try and link to the original work/data so you can see for yourself. Also Sinclair has a number of youtube videos now and those are a good place to get basics as well (he also references original sources where possible). The good news is that even a basic amount of education on the topic is enough to show you that most of the denier memes are lies.
If you still have questions come on over to the comment sections in realclimate, ill-considered, or greenfyre, or tamino open mind and ask there (don't ask here as you'll not likely get the responses you need to learn). Come in with an open mind, do not make claims that you can't back up with evidence (like you did here), and knowledgeable commenters will be happy to help you. Happy researching.
Who pays: The tax payer, you and me via governmental sponsors to ensure a nice carbon meter earner for as long as this scam will last.
300 years of coal under our feet, tons of rubbish that could be burned as fuel instead of methane leaking land fill we pay tax on and locally produced biomas we produce so little of.
Instead we import windmills…So much for the carbon footprint but just think about that green energy and the green high tax that goes with it.
The choice for the future: Poor and cold or well off and warm!
I'm all for trying to find different sources of energy, but according to my biology textbook for college, natural recycling of CO2 puts at least 85 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, and has been doing so for the past 250 million years or so. Wikipedia says that all the human activities in the world combine to about 30 billion tons of carbon released into the atmosphere a year. So basically, I'm supposed to believe that 250 million years of 85 billion tons a year didn't destroy the earth, but 50 years of 30 billion tons is going to. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Interesting ideas. I don't think I'd like to cover my house with algae though if that's what was called for. I think we'll get the most bang for the buck right now with more efficiency of the structures and businesses that are already there.
The point about 85 billion tons of carbon is that it is in balance. The global ecosystem does indeed produce 85 billion tons of carbon but it also absorbs 85 billion tones of carbon. The system is therefore has no net gain. We now release 30 billion tones of carbon into the atmosphere, there is a net increase in carbon which is also increasing each year. This carbon dioxide changes the net radiative balance in the atmosphere and temperatures/climates change.
So you obviously have no background whatsoever in the sciences, and no idea how they are funded. Good to get that on the table.
Instead of asking rhetorical questions why not actually do the internet search to find facts, not Denier innuendo?
Citing clearly biased websites and blogs is hardly a convincing mode of debate.
In addition – there is plenty of counter evidence to global warming. Neither side is conclusive, certainly, but your mentality that everyone who's skeptical is a loony is just as concerning as you seem to think theirs is. In the last century or so, sea levels and temperatures have been rising, but, put in perspective, it could easily be part of a reoccurring cycle that has been observed throughout natural history by scientists.
Debates are fun and all, but referencing sources that would be considered invalid in a middle school research paper is not a good place to start.
With the threat of global warming looming, i am a huge advocate of artificial trees, but i'm not sure i 100% agree with this article. Having said that, i think some of the points are valid and i would personally like to see more research on this subject.
I find it very hard to believe these are the "most practical and immediate" steps that can be taken. In particular, reducing coal use, or capturing CO2 from large stationary sources, are likely to be much cheaper per unit of CO2.

Fairtrade is an alternative approach to conventional trade and is based on a partnership between some of the most disadvantaged farmers and workers in the developing world and the people who buy their products. When farmers and workers can sell on Fairtrade terms, it provides them with a better deal: an opportunity to improve their lives and plan for their future. Fairtrade offers us a powerful way to reduce poverty through our everyday shopping.
A Carbon footprint is the overall amount of greenhouse gas emissions, consisting primarily of carbon dioxide, that a business, event or production produces. It is one of the most common measures of the effect of an individual, community, industry, or country on the environment. An increase in greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore in carbon footprint, is the primary event associated with climate change that has led to global warming. Prairie as such puts it's production of garments through manufacturers that are aware of their effect on the environment. Because of this they use power generated through wind and solar power. Any extra capacity is sold into the network so that at times of weak sun and wind they can use power from the grid without effecting the environment as a result.

Fresh from the success of his book, "A Principal's Family Principles" (available for purchase at www.amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and www.outskirtspress.com), "Dr. Paul's Family Talk" focuses on the family, kids, parenting, schools, jokes, music, sports, issues of the day, and all issues that impact the family.
From his interviews with authors, musicians, and people from public schools, charter schools, special education departments, and parenting experts, to discussions about life, music, college, exercise, and biblical and societal issues, as well as talks with politicians, law enforcement officers, clergy, composers, actors and actresses, business owners, comedians, artists, and sports experts, "Dr. Paul's Family Talk" has already become one of the most listened to shows in the Detroit area and lands beyond.
Dr. Paul has received high accolades for his willingness to share his views on a variety of topics that affect our society, including discussions on history (local, U.S., and world), politics, current events, sports, and relationships, most of which are shared near the beginning of each show, as well as throughout the broadcast.

Ready-to-use prayers to connect hospitalized persons with the presence of God.
Offering prayer is one of the most important parts of a pastor's hospital ministry. These prayers connect persons with the power of God, remind persons who they are as children of God, and sometimes put into words deep experiences of suffering, grief, and pain. These prayers are offered especially for difficult times when you may not be sure how to pray or what to pray for. Also related Bible verses are printed in full.
Included are prayers related to illness or surgery.

Every year, the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and the International Builders' Show (IBS) brings together designers and brands for a whirlwind intro to the latest and greatest new products for these most-important spaces. This year's Design Week did not disappoint.
Who wouldn't love this laundry room with a dog washing station.
What gorgeous legs.........and the spindles aren't bad either!
Digging these retro appliances, this year brings a new player with the apartment size frig.
Using a selective laser 3D printing process, American Standard has produced some truly stunning kitchen faucets that makes it seem as if the water appears from nowhere.
