Review of "The Walking Dead" 407 – "Dead Weight"
By RC Murphy
Having a double helping of something good isn't always a pleasure. After five episodes without the Governor, watching two episodes focused solely on him chokes the pacing of "The Walking Dead" halfway through season four. The energy viewers get from characters like Daryl and Michonne is impossible to duplicate for the parallel story line following Phillip as he finds himself again after setting Woodbury ablaze. Unfortunately, what seemed like something viewers would enjoy, isn't paying out as expected. While there are some stand-up-and-yell-at-the-TV moments, they're too few and far between to keep the momentum rolling into the mid-season climax on December 1st.
Don't go into the light! It's the vast brightness of the many spoilers lurking below.
A couple times during the episode, it became painfully apparent that Phillip had forgotten who, exactly, he's dealing with as his "family." The way he looks at Meghan is a look reserved for someone who's watched a child learn and grow since the day they were born. He's only known the Chamblers for a couple of weeks, a month maximum. There's no way his connection to Meghan is that rock solid. Toward the middle of the episode, Phillip tells Lilly that he can't lose them again. Only, he's never lost them. He lost his wife and Penny—the walker he kept captive in hopes of finding a way to fix her short of putting a bullet in her head. Phillip's attachment to the Chamblers, namely Lilly and Meghan, is disturbing. He's out of sync with reality, leaning on two people he hardly knows to keep his humanity in check. It didn't work.
Martinez's days were numbered. There's no use lying to ourselves. Once he made it crystal clear that he was in charge of the camp, things were already set in motion. When he asked Phillip to help him, work for him, there was only ever going to be one outcome. The Governor fully returned to power. He's so desperate to keep Lilly and Meghan safe, he'll jump back into the darkness he used to keep Woodbury going during the last weeks of its existence. Even though he repeatedly says, "I don't want it." Doesn't want what, the responsibility of leadership or the blood on his hands from securing his place at the top of the food chain? Does it cost Phillip anything to kill anymore? Anytime we see Rick pull the trigger, you see a piece of his soul wither. With Phillip, who knows? He's a hard read, a violent man with sociopathic tendencies. However, he makes this impossible connection with a woman and her child that goes against everything known about sociopathic behavior. Is it an act? But to whose benefit? Surely he can't be trying to fool himself after all this time.
How difficult is it to form a functioning society when everyday Joes are forced to become murderers? Since day one we've seen survivors struggle to regain some semblance of normality by coming together to form little neighborhoods. Places where they should feel safe enough to relax, let their kids play. But they don't in most of these camps. Everyone ends up on edge, watching the one or two people who enjoy the death and destruction around them a little too much. The apocalypse is the maniac's playground, guns their toys of choice. And since they're so willing to kill, inevitably, they're the ones to gain power, become the person to look up to. It corrupts the people in the camp eventually. Look at Woodbury, at how many of the soldiers willingly followed the Governor into battle against Rick and the prison crew. And it is happening all over again next week. Why? Because Phillip knows how to work people. He told Mitch, "You'll never have to worry if you're doing the right thing or the wrong thing. We will do the only thing." That was exactly what the other man needed to hear. He needed a way to absolve the guilt he felt for first, not securing the supplies for the camp, then killing the injured old man, and lastly not killing Phillip after he murdered his brother, Pete. Fighting for the safety of the camp gives Mitch his Get Out of Jail Free card.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown . . . covered in the blood of his predecessors. Can Phillip succeed this time? Will this new group of survivors secure the golden egg—the prison? Tell us what you think in the comments.

FDA Approves Dangerous Painkiller Against Advice?!
Ive just read this story this morning about the FDA approving a potentially dangerous painkiller...even against the advice of its own advisory panel ..it seems crazy?!
at least history on the safety aspect of the drug.
A new FDA-approved painkiller isn't set to hit pharmacy shelves until next month, but critics are already warning it could kill—with just two pills. Zohydro, which the FDA gave the green light in October against the advice of its advisory panel, will serve as a powerful pain pill for those who can't get relief from what's already out there.
I get what your saying kilg0retr0ut and its a very valid opinion. I think its also worth considering that many 'addicts' are also in fact people who suffer great pain (as many with SCI do) and become addicted to often over prescribed painkillers.
This situation isnt ideal either..
I agree that over prescribing is a problem, right along with over prescribing handicap placards. These doctors need to be checked.
If someones addicted because of legit reasons this will be a way to save their liver. But you are right on, the situation is difficult at best.
I think the worries are for the addicts not knowing that it is 5x stronger than Vicodin. It would be kind of like "I usually take 5mg Vicodin but this is a 10mg, but I'll take the whole thing anyway." Carelessness.
I think they should release more info about this new drug. I suffer from uncontrolled chronic pain, but I've learned how to deal with it in alternate ways than pills. Yes, I do take Vicodin, but only if the alternate ways didn't work.
tbone57..this is exactly what is the huge concern for me...i think its very easy to become addicted to this type of pain relief and thankyou for sharing.
I can remember when i was pre op and was developing CES i was in incredible pain. I was taking taking solphodol and i 'liked' taking it. It was a nice feeling at first..maybe a slight buzz...and i missed taking it when i was put onto morphine and tramadol.
I believe it was an opiate too.
Doctors really need to start learning about natural Medicine/treatment instead of prescribing every possible drug out there!
So many meds are approved and then pulled. Vioxx for instance. I do not understand why the FDA does what it does. I do agree that this drug is uncalled for and will probably cause deaths. If a doctor thinks that a patient needs more Vicodin, just raise the dose. This is a monster pill.
I don't think it a monster pill. If I'd been where Tbone has I may think different. Sorry that hit so close to home. If my options were take a pill walk or don't walk, I'd take the pill every time.
That's a good point as well kilg0retr0ut, but if it means take a pill and walk and get sick and decrease your lifespan vs no pill no walk, I don't know which one some people would choose!
I agree DJ, it's a tough choice. My choice is quality of life over quantity.

Man who was wrongly convicted of murder finally free after 40 years
Joel TaylorThursday 25 Nov 2021 10:37 pm
Kevin Strickland was wrongly convicted by an all-white jury of three murders in 1979 (Picture: AP)
A prisoner found guilty in 1979 of three murders has finally been freed after the verdicts were overturned.
Kevin Strickland, 62, had always said he was at home watching TV on the night of the shootings in April 1978, when he was 18.
Now Missouri judge James Welsh has ruled there is 'clear and convincing evidence' to undermine his conviction after he spent more than 40 years in jail.
No physical evidence linked him to the murder scene, a house in Kansas City.
And key witness Cynthia Douglas — the sole survivor — later recanted, saying police pressured her to name him.
Mr Strickland was watching a TV soap with other inmates when the news he had been cleared scrolled across the screen.
Strickland was finally freed from prison this week after 40 years behind bars (Picture: AP)
'I'm not necessarily angry. It's a lot. I think I've created emotions that you all don't know about just yet,' he said as he left jail.
'Joy, sorrow, fear. I am trying to figure out how to put them together.'
He said he would like to get involved in efforts to 'keep this from happening to someone else', saying the criminal justice system 'needs to be torn down and redone'.
His first trial ended in a hung jury when the only black juror called for acquittal.
He was later convicted by an all-white jury of killing Larry Ingram, 21, John Walker, 20, and Sherrie Black, 22.
Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said: 'This brings justice — finally — to a man who has tragically suffered so greatly.'
Evidence in his original trials focused largely on the testimony of Ms Douglas, who was the only person to survive the shootings.
She initially identified Mr Strickland as one of four men who shot the victims and testified to that during his two trials.
Judge Welsh wrote that she had doubts soon after he was convicted but initially was 'hesitant to act because she feared she could face perjury charges if she were to publicly recant statements previously made under oath'.
She died in 2015, however before this claimed she faced police pressure over the case.
Family, friends and a colleague testified that she had tried for years after the conviction to alert authorities she had identified the wrong man.
However, lawyers for the Missouri attorney general's office told the recent hearing there was no paper trail that proved she had tried to do this, so it was based on hearsay, upon hearsay, upon hearsay' and the conviction should be upheld.
Judge Welsh also noted that two other men convicted in the killings later insisted Mr Strickland was not involved.
They named two other suspects who were never charged.

The City of Las Vegas is the most populous in the state of Nevada and the largest in the greater Mojave Desert. The city gained a reputation as the gambling capital of the world. It is also known for its grand shopping, dining, and nightlife. The city rates among the top destinations in the US for tourists, reported by the Team behind wedoitallvegas.com Some of the most prominent hotels and resorts are in the city to cater to the large number of visitors that finds its way there. Adult entertainment is one of the elements that made Vegas famous hence, the nickname Sin City.
You must have heard the phrase "what happens in Vegas, stays there." This saying comes from the fact that the wildest experiences take place in the Nevada city. The place is an epitome of fun, indulgence, and good life. When you hear the mention of the city, the first thing that you think is "unforgettable memories." The popularity of the city has made it a great subject for films, literature, and music videos. Besides entertainment, this city in Nevada is a business hub. The booming hospitality sector makes the place perfect for conventions, conferences, and other business events. The possibility of mixing business with pleasure doesn't hurt the popularity of the region. Visitors have plenty to see when in Sin City, and interacting with the culture makes for lifelong memories.
Best Las Vegas Hotels
This city has the largest number of AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other in the world, and that is quite something. Every few meters, you will come across a four or five-star hotel. A fair percentage of the hotels have casinos. The options range widely from boutique hotels to chains to luxury hotels. Here are some of the top Las Vegas Hotels.
Wynn & Encore
The two are sister hotels housed in the Wynn Towers, which are on the north side of the Strip. The location of the establishments is convenient because it is close to major shopping areas and other hotels. They are also less than 15 minutes from the airport. In each Wynn Tower, is a casino that includes a VIP section for high rollers.

The Aria hotel, which was established in 2009, has 4,004 rooms with 568 suites. Guests have the Sky Suite, a hotel within a hotel in the complex that boasts a lounge, private porte-cochere, and elevators.

It is CityCenter's only casino. Aria holds the title for the largest building with LEED Gold status in the world.
One of the most iconic Las Vegas hotels was opened in 1966. For over of a century, the hotel has been a big part of the Strip, appearing in TV shows, films and international events. It rests on 85 acres and offers guests a choice of 3,960 rooms that take up six towers. The hotel is designed in a Roman theme with the different towers named after famous Roman characters. Caesar's Palace offers varying accommodation alternatives, ranging from basic to luxurious. Guests have many dining options, including steakhouses, French, and Japanese Fusion restaurants. The casino at Caesar's Palace is one of the busiest and largest in Sin City, online it is comparable with the Leo Vegas Casino. It attracts gamblers from all over the globe with its advanced technologies.
The Bellagio
The fountains in front of The Bellagio are some of the most recognized features in Vegas. They appear in postcards, websites, and advertisements. The building itself is iconic and is quickly identified with the Nevada city. Bellagio sits smack in the middle of the Strip with pedestrian bridges connecting it to Caesar's Palace and Bally's. Its location makes it easy to access from the Flamingo ramp. From the airport, the hotel is approximately 12 minutes away. Le Cirque and Picasso, two of the highest rated Frech restaurants, are found at this hotel. Several other restaurants and cafes are available for guests. The Bellagio has one of the biggest casinos in the Strip although it is not as advanced as some of the others in the vicinity.
The MGM Grand is another popular resort in the city. Opened in 1993, the MGM Grand was designed in a Wizard of Oz theme, which is part of the reason the hotel is so recognizable. It boasts a pool complex that spreads out over 6 acres. The dining establishments in the MGM Grand are some of the finest in the country. Guests have almost 20 restaurants and cafes in the hotel. The hotel sits on some of the most prime lands in the city- only a six-minute drive from the airport and within walking distance of various attractions. For gamblers, the casino at the MGM Grand doesn't disappoint, its like the WinStar Casino at the Online version. It is a sprawling complex with a staggering collection of slot machines.
Las Vegas Events/Shows
Being the huge entertainment spot that it is, the city has some fabulous events every year. The presence of some of the top hotels in the world makes this city a perfect setting for various gigs. If you are visiting Sin City, gambling is not the only activity in which you can indulge. You can plan your casino trip to coincide with some of the hot events of the year to get the best the city has to offer. Some of these include:
One of the world's biggest production companies, Cirque du Soleil, gives some of the best Las Vegas shows. The company has eight different shows that cater to varying tastes. Mystére, O and Michael Jackson ONE are some examples. The performances are a collection of tricks that showcase the very best that the production company has to offer. Whether you love a good aquatic show or an MJ-inspired number, then Cirque du Soleil is the company to keep an eye on.
Penn & Teller at Rio
Some of the top Las Vegas events involve magic shows. Any self-respecting magician or illusionist dreams of performing in Sin City. Penn and Teller is a duo magician act that has captivated the crowds in this city. The fun part about the pair is that Teller performs most of the tricks while Penn provides commentary. Although Penn explains everything that is going on during the magic tricks, audiences still enjoy a few surprises. Audience interaction is part of the show, which makes it very engaging.
Celine Dion at Caesar's Palace
Originally, it was Elvis who was responsible for holding up a whole show on his own. Now, that job is left to Celine Dion. The Canadian songstress performs a collection of some of her greatest hits and others from different artists. In some Las Vegas shows, Dion uses holograms of artists to join her on stage. She usually has a 31-musician set accompanying her performances. Enjoy a 16-piece sitting orchestra and a 5-piece horn section as you listen to the award-winning artist belt out some of the most popular tunes.
Blue Man Group at Luxor
The Blue Man Group is a trio of mimes that tackles deep topics on human evolution. They handle everything from groupthink to brain function to artificial intelligence. The three are earless and voiceless, which makes for a pretty interesting narration. What makes the shows stand out of the dose of distinct humour that the mimes inject into their performances. The crowd also doesn't have to worry about language barriers. Blue Man Group shows are famous for their visual stimulation and quirkiness.
Carrot Top at Luxor
Another performer that has people scrambling for Las Vegas tickets is Carrot Top. He is a comic whose brand of humour may not appeal to everyone. Carrot Top uses props as part of his acts. He makes some of the weirdest and most creative items to accompany his commentary. The performer tackles everything from celebrities to politicians to sports figures. He's hilarious and unapologetic in his comedy, which is part of the charm.
We do it all Vegas means exactly that. Sin City caters to all kinds of desires from the tamest to the wildest. It choices of casinos ensures that there's something for everyone. Top casinos in Sin City have websites that are easily accessible on mobile devices, while a few others have apps.
Binion's
You can't talk about gambling in Sin City without mentioning Binion's Gambling Hall & Hotel where the World Series of Poker was first held. The casino, which is part of the TLC Casinos Enterprises, sits on the Fremont Street Experience. It is an iconic sight with it's flashing lights all around the building.

Over ten different tables are present for gamblers and a lot of slot machines that range widely in theme. A mobile version of the casino is available for customers who prefer to play on their hand-held devices.
Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino
The hotel spreads out across three buildings in the Strip and offers personalized gambling experiences. Occupying 12,500 sq meters, the Mandalay Bay casino has more than sufficient room for a collection of slot machines and table games. Whether you like poker, baccarat, or slots, the casino has something to tickle your fancy. High Limit play and VIP services are some of the offerings the casino has for gamblers. The casino's theme is inspired by South-East Asia.
Gold Nugget Hotel & Casino
In downtown, Golden Nugget is one casino that has remained popular over the years. The casino overlooks the Fremont Street Experience and was opened in 1946. As one of the area's oldest casinos, you can expect to find classic games, including blackjack, poker, and slots. The casino has an arcade that is ideal for families. Golden Nugget has a mobile app that simplifies access for customers.
Las Vegas Attractions
Sin City has plenty to offer when it comes to sightseeing. The city is one of the most exciting destinations, whether you are an avid gambler or not. Here are a few must-see attractions.
The Strip is the nerve centre of the city and home to many fascinating sights. The brightly lit hotels that line up the streets along the Strip are wonderful works of architecture that you can't help but admire. The Luxor Hotel and Casino is one. This resort, built in the 1990s (same age like the well known 888 Casino), is shaped like a pyramid. At the peak, a spotlight beams high-intensity light that shines into the Las Vegas nightlife.
Art is not a big part of the Sin City culture, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it. At the City Center complex, art enthusiasts can see pieces from different artists. For the past ten years, MGM Resorts has injected millions into the city's art scene. The public art is part of the project. Maya Lin's Silver River is one of the pieces that you can catch a glimpse of at the City Center. At The Shops at Crystals, a piece called Glacia rests on the ground floor. It is made up of ice columns that measure 15 feet, which rise in the morning and melt throughout the day.
At the Flamingo LV, is an oasis that provides a home to 20 turtles, fish, and over 60 exotic birds. The habitat is a nice distraction from the bustle that is Sin City. You get to see flamingoes as they laze about. Feeding time is usually the best time to catch the animals when they are active. Another attraction that provides a similar experience is the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage.
To see nature at its best, head to the Mojave Desert and visit the Red Rock Canyon. The National Conversation Area has a variety of geological features that visitors can see during drives or helicopter tours. Catch the seasonal waterfalls at the Ice Box Canyon or the Spring Mountain Ranch Park, which boasts several historic buildings. If you are on the ground, you can see Native American petroglyphs that are a significant part of the state's history.

Avoid putting all your money in mobile slots or card games then have to dip into your reserves to return home. Remember that your gambling budget should be money that you are comfortable losing.
Strategies before playing
Learn and have a strategy for gambling. Maybe it's your first trip to this wonderful city, and you get enticed to try one of the new games offered by a casino here. Don't make the mistake of gambling without a clear idea of how to. Las Vegas casinos have demos on their platforms and free lessons that novice gamblers can take advantage of. Learn a few strategies before playing with real money to increase the chances of favorable outcomes.
Aviod peak season
As with any other hot tourist destinations, avoid peak season. Admittedly, the Strip is almost always busy, but some times of the year are calmer than others. If you wish to save money and have less competition in the casinos, then don't visit the city during high seasons such as summer and holidays.

Transport department refuses to release Garden Bridge report
Garden Bridge (Source: Heatherwick Studio)
The Department for Transport (DfT) has said it will not release a report into the failed £48m Garden Bridge so it can protect a trust that no longer operates.
The Garden Bridge Trust was set up to manage the disastrous project, which was championed by Boris Johnson when he was mayor of London and former chancellor George Osborne.

However, the trust was liquidated last year after the bridge was scrapped by Sadiq Khan in 2017 because of a £70m funding gap.
Despite that, a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by Architects' Journal to see an internal report on the project was rejected by the DfT on the grounds that it was protecting the interests of the liquidated Garden Bridge Trust.
The 2016 paper reportedly contains internal cost estimates of the project and a potential warning to not put more taxpayer dollars into the bridge.
A further £5m of funding from the transport department was ploughed into the project, after the report was drawn up.
It was also revealed in October that the trust awarded £21m in construction contracts before getting key land and building permits.
Len Duvall, chair of the London Assembly's oversight committee, said the DfT's suppression of the report was "completely out of order.
"I can't think of a worst example of public waste than the Garden Bridge project," he said.
"The government should hang its head in shame."
Deputy chair of the committee Caroline Pidgeon said there had been "repeated secrecy" around the project from day-one.
She added: "After so many years of poor decision making it seems that instead of wanting to learn lessons from this doomed project the Department for Transport just want to defend the indefensible."

When asked about the suppression of the report, a DfT spokesperson said: "FOI requests are handled by the Department on the presumption of disclosure, unless an appropriate exemption under the FOI Act applies.
"In this case the information was exempted to avoid prejudicing the commercial interests of the Garden Bridge Trust."


Are you looking for "It's the Tribes, Stupid?" You've found it.
We've changed the name to Agora (the Greek word for marketplace and, in ancient Athens, the central gathering place for talking and brawling over the day's events). Agora is meant to signify a communal meeting site—a forum for the exchange of political, cultural and military ideas.
Everything that was on "It's the Tribes, Stupid" in the past will be available on Agora in the future—with the exception of "Writing Wednesdays" and "The Creative Process." These two series will be featured as stand-alone elements on our new site, Steven Pressfield Online. To access them, click on "Series" in the menu bar above.
Our agora-master will be William "Mac" McCallister. Mac's is one of the many serendipitous friendships that have come out of my experience on Tribes. He's a warrior and a scholar and a passionate advocate for unconventional solutions across the full spectrum of political-cultural-military problems. A retired military officer, Mac has done extensive work in Afghanistan and Iraq, Korea, Eastern Europe and everywhere in between. He is a published author in military affairs and tribal warfare and has guest-lectured at Johns Hopkins University and presented numerous papers at academic and government-sponsored conferences such as the Watson Institute, Brown University; Department of the Navy Science and Technology and DARPA; and the Central Intelligence Agency. He has been a guest on outlets such as National Public Radio (NPR) and been featured in the Wall Street Journal.
Mac is also tremendously generous about sharing what he's learned, which is why I first asked him to consider contributing to Tribes—and now to take the reins on Agora. Check out his bio and his other writings.
I'll still pop in from time to time to post on Agora, and you'll see posts from guests from time to time, too.

DroneSeed first in U.S. to get FAA approval for post-wildfire reforestation
In DroneSeed, Arizona, California, Colorado, Drones for Good, Montana, New Mexico, Wildfire
DroneSeed is the first drone company in U.S. to receive approval from FAA for post-Wildfire reforestation in California and five other states. Heavy-lift drone swarms can begin reforesting in these areas within 60 days.
DroneSeed announced that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved its heavy-lift drone swarms for operation Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and given the company the go-ahead to expand its use of heavy-lift drone swarms for reforestation to California, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.
The FAA's action allows DroneSeed to begin reforesting in California once a fire is contained and airspace is clear. The company will select specific sites affected by fires later this month and is receiving information from impacted forest managers via droneseed.com. Once sites are selected, DroneSeed will manufacture seed vessels with native Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine.
The approval from the FAA is a first for the agency, as each of DroneSeed's aircraft carries a 57-pound payload and operates in swarms of up to five aircraft. This is the third precedent-setting FAA approval the company has earned, a significant achievement for the startup. DroneSeed is the only company in the United States legally approved to operate with heavy-lift drone swarms.
DroneSeed has developed the capability to reforest after wildfires within 60 days. The company, which utilizes drone swarms to fly over rough terrain, boosts seed establishment rates with patented seed vessels. This rapid response avoids adding more reforestation debt to the increasing national backlog of forests that aren't re-establishing due to the size and severity of wildfires. The speed also reduces forest manager weed removal costs of invasive species that grow over the two to three year period while nursery trees grow.
"As these devastating wildfires have directly and indirectly impacted most Americans, it has been extremely hard for me to watch friends, investors, and communities lose people, property, and livelihoods," said Grant Canary, CEO of DroneSeed. "Our team is highly motivated to help communities begin the process of restoring the forests we lost, make sure they come back, and evolve new tools to make reforestation scalable. It's imperative if we're to mitigate the worst effects of climate change."
In addition to California, DroneSeed is currently fielding inquiries and actively selecting sites for reforestation for multiple fires in Oregon and Washington. Individuals, businesses, and organizations with forests affected by fires can send information about their land and the fire impact via DroneSeed's website.
An additional service, DroneSeed offers interested forest owners a portion of carbon credit sales for the post-fire reforestation–lowering costs. The company is matching these owners with tech companies, such as Microsoft, that have announced they will go carbon negative.
"Previously carbon credits only worked for established forests, and that's now expanded to planting forests–especially those impacted by fires," Canary said about the effort. "The Climate Action Reserve has developed the standards to connect reforestation to California's carbon offset market and project forward."
Canary outlined the relatively simple process and how it pays off in the long run for investors and the climate.
"At the outset, create a super conservative baseline of tree survival and carbon capture rate by species," Canary commented. "A year after seed vessel dispersal an independent third party checks the survival. If it's successful, credits are issued and money is exchanged. Then after five years, the trees are checked again, and if the conservative baseline is exceeded more credits can be issued. Stay tuned to see how this dramatically changes things–and come talk to us corporate America–there's dramatic demand and not enough supply. We're building that supply for partners."
The approval from the FAA is a first for the agency, as each of DroneSeed's aircraft carries a 57-pound payload and operates in swarms of up to five aircraft. DroneSeed is the only company in the United States legally approved to operate… Click To Tweet

Kenneth Cole makes his living by selling shoes. In order to promote his shoes, sometimes Kenneth Cole will try and sell his wares by tweeting what he believes to be a funny fashion pun about tragic events like Bashar al Assad's use of chemical weapons or the Newtown shooting. Judging from the reaction to those puns, it's best he stick with his day job.
While Cole thought that was appropriate to tweet out, a lot of people didn't find it appropriate to push products or make jokes about American intervention in Syria — or the widespread concern that it could escalate to an Iraq-like war with American troops on the ground. Cole's tweet also seems to confirm that he has not really learned the social media lessons from his previous faux pas. And there are many of them.
But there's plenty of evidence that he didn't understand the lesson here. Fool us once Mr. Cole, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on your social media skills. Cole tweeted this "right to bare feet" joke out in April in reference to the debate about gun control that stemmed from the Newtown shootings.
And in the past his billboards and shirts both had puns referring to current events like the gulf oil spill, and the plane crashing in the Hudson River. Maybe, by now, we should just finally come to accept that when there's a significant and tragic international event, Cole will find a way to interject something about his company into the conversation. And maybe, we should come to accept that unfollowing him and his company might be course of action.

The United States Government establishes a permanent navy and authorizes the building of six frigates. The United States Congress authorized the original six frigates of the United States Navy with the Naval Act of 1794 on 27 March 1794 at a total cost of $688,888.82. These ships were built during the formative years of the United States Navy, on the recommendation of designer Joshua Humphreys for a fleet of frigates powerful enough to engage any frigates of the French or British navies yet fast enough to evade any ship of the line.

The Good Friday Earthquake, the most powerful earthquake in U.S. history at a magnitude of 9.2 strikes South Central Alaska, killing 125 people and inflicting massive damage to the city of Anchorage. The 1964 Alaska earthquake, also known as the Great Alaskan Earthquake, the Portage Earthquake and the Good Friday Earthquake, was a megathrust earthquake that began at 5:36 P.M. AST on Good Friday, March 27, 1964. Across south-central Alaska, ground fissures, collapsing buildings, and tsunamis resulting from the earthquake caused about 143 deaths. Lasting nearly four minutes, it was the most powerful recorded earthquake in U.S. and North American history, and the second most powerful ever measured by seismograph. It had a magnitude of 9.2, at the time making it the second largest earthquake in recorded history.

Construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System begins. The Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), includes the Trans Alaska Pipeline, 11 pump stations, several hundred miles of feeder pipelines, and the Valdez Marine Terminal. TAPS is one of the world's largest pipeline systems. It is commonly called the Alaska Pipeline, Trans Alaska Pipeline, or Alyeska Pipeline, (or the Pipeline as referred to in Alaska), but those terms technically apply only to the 800 miles (1,287 km) of the pipeline with the diameter of 48 inches (122 cm) that conveys oil from Prudhoe Bay, to Valdez, Alaska. The crude oil pipeline is privately owned by the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company.

Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was a Soviet pilot and cosmonaut. He was the first human to journey into outer space, when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth on 12 April 1961. Gagarin became an international celebrity, and was awarded many medals and honours, including Hero of the Soviet Union, the nation's highest honour. Vostok 1 marked his only spaceflight, but he served as backup crew to the Soyuz 1 mission (which ended in a fatal crash). Gagarin later became deputy training director of the Cosmonaut Training Centre outside Moscow, which was later named after him. Gagarin died in 1968 when a MiG 15 training jet he was piloting crashed.

BILL T. JONES — ANALOGY TRILOGY
"Arnie Zane [and I] built this company out of the same troubled milieu that we're all living through right now—racism, sexism—and we have been able to make an organization that expressed my belief that art could save us." — Bill T. Jones
As an innovator of post-modern dance since the 1970s and survivor of the American cultural wars of the '80s, choreographer Bill T. Jones has endured catastrophes both political and personal. He lived through the disgrace of the government's non-response to the AIDS epidemic, and lost Zane to the disease in 1988.
With his company—the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company—Jones' created Still/Here (1994), a mixed-media, performance-art dance piece incorporating videotaped footage of terminally ill patients speaking into the camera. In an infamous attack on a work she declined to see firsthand, the New Yorker dance critic Arlene Croce railed against what she dismissed as foundation-dependent "victim art":
"By working dying people into his act, Jones is putting himself beyond the reach of criticism. I think of him as literally undiscussable… because he has taken sanctuary among the unwell. Victim art defies criticism not only because we feel sorry for the victim but because we are cowed by art."*
An uproar immediately followed, with Tony Kushner, Camille Paglia, Hilton Kramer, and Joyce Carol Oates weighing in from both sides. The author and activist bell hooks wrote:
"To write so contemptuously about a work one has not seen is an awesome flaunting of privilege—a testimony to the reality that there is no marginalized group or individual powerful enough to silence or suppress reactionary voices. Ms. Croce's article is not courageous or daring, precisely because it merely mirrors the ruling political mood of our time."*
After the publication of "Discussing the Undiscussable," Croce's output decreased significantly, while Jones—who recently dropped "dance" from his company's title: "We are a contemporary performance ensemble"—has moved from strength to strength.**
This weekend at Royce Hall, CAP UCLA will present two complete performances of Jones' ANALOGY TRILOGY, a durational work "focusing on memory and the effect of powerful events on the actions of individuals and, more importantly, on their often unexpressed inner life." During the performance, musical accompaniment will be provided by composer Nick Hallett, pianist Emily Manzo, baritone Matthew Gamble, and the dancers.***
The trilogy can be seen in one daylong event, or as separate afternoon and evening performances:
ANALOGY/DORA: TRAMONTANE is based on the World War II experiences of French Jewish nurse Dora Amelan, the mother of Jones' partner and company creative director Bjorn Amelan.
ANALOGY/LANCE: PRETTY aka THE ESCAPE ARTIST takes as its subject Jones' nephew Lance Briggs. Art, in this case, could not save a life of promise after Lance quit dancing and turned to drugs and hustling.
ANALOGY/AMBROS: THE EMIGRANT draws from the W.G. Sebald novel The Emigrant to show how "trauma can go underground in the psyche of an individual and direct—consciously and unconsciously—the course of that individual's life."

Croce's article was originally published in the December 26, 1994–January 2, 1995 issue of The New Yorker.
The responses by bell hooks and others ran under "Who's the Victim? Dissenting Voices Answer Arlene Croce's Critique of Victim Art" in the January 30, 1995 issue of the magazine.

THE DANCES OF ED MOCK
"Ed Mock [the late San Francisco dancer, teacher, and choreographer] is the missing choreographic link between Alvin Ailey, Anna Halprin, and Bill T. Jones. He is my direct predecessor, creatively. We—artists, black queers, Bay Area dancers, gay men—have to extract our collective past and create the historical record." — Brontez Purnell

I created whole new database..
Please help..
Thanks in advance.

A: You are defining a default value of a ForeignKey to be a datetime object. A ForeignKey should be an Integer representing the ID of some other table.
The problem is in this piece of code
migrations.AddField(
    model_name='login',
    name='user_id',
    field=models.ForeignKey(default=datetime.datetime(2016, 9, 10, 18, 43, 28, 263522, tzinfo=utc), on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.CASCADE, primary_key=True, related_name='login_id', serialize=False, to='user.Register'),
    preserve_default=False,
),

More specifically,
field=models.ForeignKey(default=datetime.datetime(2016, 9, 10, 18, 43, 28, 263522, tzinfo=utc), on_delete=django.db.models.deletion.CASCADE, primary_key=True, related_name='login_id', serialize=False, to='user.Register')

change the default argument to be the value of the ID of the row represented by that datetime you referenced.

Q: Unused address pins in AVR ATMEGA162 We have an ATMEGA162, and have connected an SRAM to it. We do not use PC5, that is the 13th address bit. What are we to do with this pin? When we connected it to ground, we got no errors in the SRAM. When we connected it through a 1k resistor, we got some errors.
What is causing this? We think this is a problem since if we put on an address that has the 13th bit high, that would cause a short circuit, which is not good.

A: You can use the "Special Function IO Register - SFIOR" (bits XMM2, XMM1, XMM0) to reduce the number of address pins used by the XMEM interface.
Alternatively just leave those pins on the AVR unconnected; that should be fine because with XMEM enabled, they are outputs only. Under no circumstances should you connect them to Vcc or GND directly, otherwise a single accidental RAM access to the "wrong" RAM address could destroy the AVR.
Tie any unused address pins on the SRAM (inputs) to either Vcc or GND via a pull-up/-down resistor.

Home Seller Stories In the Flipkart Marketplace, no dream is too big for inspired Indians
In the Flipkart Marketplace, no dream is too big for inspired Indians
From a small store owner in Mumbai's Dharavi to a homemaker in small-town Haryana, Flipkart Marketplace is giving wings to every Indian's entrepreneurial dreams. These are their success stories and an account of their journey with Flipkart. Read and be inspired.
Every day, as millions of Indians log on to Flipkart looking for unlimited ways to fulfil their aspirations, another set of everyday folks get on Flipkart for reasons similar in terms of aspirations, yet very, very different. For the other Indian is a Flipkart seller — logging on to fulfil entrepreneurial dreams and reach an India without borders through online retail.
The everyday Indian's entrepreneurial dreams are taking wings as sellers increasingly embrace the opportunities that online retail has to offer. When a seller signs up with Flipkart, their opportunities are unlimited — their vision isn't impaired by boundaries, logistics, space, distance or any other physical constraints. This is taken care of by Flipkart — with its numerous initiatives and support pillars, Flipkart utilizes its resources and opens up a world of dreams for any Indian with an entrepreneurial streak and a passion to succeed.
To become a successful seller on Flipkart, it doesn't matter who you are, how old you are, which corner of the country you come from or even if you don't have the capital to take on an entire business from ground up. Read these real-life stories of Flipkart sellers — from the age-old traditional family businesses, to women breaking the glass ceiling, or even young guns with a hunger to make their mark — for a look inside the Flipkart Marketplace ecosystem that's nurtured thousands of success sagas.
The Flipkart seller's secret recipe for success
When Ankit Gupta returned to India from the United States in 2011, he couldn't wait to join the bandwagon of Indian retailers who were taking the plunge into online retail.
His family, involved in manufacturing footwear for many years, decided to list an entirely different product on Flipkart — yoga mats. "No other seller across the country had the kind of products we were selling. The mats became a hit overnight and, three months later, a good number of orders began pouring in," says Ankit.
From starting out in a garage to renting a multi-storied office, from beginning with a two-person team to employing over 300 people, from first-time entrepreneurs to those who've expanded their family business online, Flipkart sellers have relied on their ingenuity to see their business grow leaps and bounds. Here, Flipkart's top sellers, across categories, recount their exciting experiences and share the secret ingredients of their recipe for online selling success.
Read their stories here.
How Flipkart's women sellers built successful business empires
"Girl, uninterrupted" might be one way to encapsulate Ritu Kaushik's story. Forced to cut her education short when she was young, this fiery entrepreneur went right back to college and used her education to kick-start her entrepreneurial career.
"I learnt how to use a computer by practicing when my children were at school, and with my husband's help," says this seller who runs a handbags business on Flipkart. "Maine apne shauk ko hi apna business bana liya (I turned my passion [for handbags] into my business)," she adds with a grin.
Read the stories of many more businesswomen just like Ritu who have built successful empires by retailing on Flipkart.
Be inspired by their stories here.
Redefining the age-old Indian Family Business on Flipkart
"When I joined Flipkart Seller Hub in 2016, I knew I could trust Flipkart. Over time my son and daughter joined me, and today we're proud to have a family business on Flipkart," says Ishwander Khanna, a delighted Flipkart seller. Together, the trio is a true-blue representation of what the modern Indian family business looks like.
As India goes digital, family businesses are embracing the change and making the most of the realm of opportunities that online retail offers. Running an online business is no mean feat, and it helps to have a partner to sail smooth. So, it's no surprise that sellers are increasingly establishing family businesses on Flipkart too.
Take a peek into the Modern Family Business here.
Scripting the triumph of everyday Indians
Mumbai's Dharavi, an area that shot into the spotlight with its grim portrayal in Slumdog Millionaire, is also a bustling hub for small businesses. And it was here that Ritesh Chugh first began his venture, Rituraj Fashion. But his small store catered to just the neighborhood and with few products on offer, sales began to dwindle every month. "That's when I decided to take my business online," he says about his decision to partner with Flipkart.
Ritesh's sales not only grew hundred-fold, but his small store went on to reach millions of customers across the country. "From being a small player in the town to a business that India shops from – I have dared to dream big with Flipkart," Ritesh adds.
Helping Indians script their success stories is just one of the many facets that define Flipkart. With its many initiatives over the years, it has channeled its resources to create opportunities for sellers with an enterprising streak, nudging them a step closer to success. Built on the pillars of effortless order fulfillment, a swift payment mechanism and a strong logistics backbone, Flipkart has engineered an ecosystem that's nurtured thousands of seller success stories.

The Flipkart sellers who are Rajasthan's cultural ambassadors
Rather than let Rajasthan's artistic heritage decline, these three daring entrepreneurs chose to be online sellers and grace homes across India with ethnic art from Rajasthan. And their endeavors have not only afforded local craftsmen find gainful employment, but have also given them a reason to stand shoulder to shoulder with their contemporaries with inimitable pride.
Here are the stories of three Flipkart Sellers — Rahul Jain, Bharat Lashkari and Atul Gupta — whose commitment to heritage is helping craftsmen in Rajasthan seamlessly carry on a centuries-old tradition in modern India.
Go back in time with their stories here.
Young entrepreneurs soar with the Flipkart advantage
You don't need a business degree to sell on Flipkart, and 18-year-old Shubham, CEO and proprietor of Mshop, is proof. "For a young entrepreneur like me, selling online offered reach and growth," he tells us. When he liaised with Flipkart, he was a novice, unaware of the intricacies of business. "However, with the Seller Hub's support and sage advice, my sales have doubled!" Shubham shares gleefully.
It is easier than ever before to make the most of what e-commerce has to offer, especially as a Flipkart seller. These young entrepreneurs have paved their path to success by leveraging the feature-rich Flipkart Seller Hub, defining the bullish spirit of Digital India.
For these sellers, Flipkart Troops saved The Big Billion Days!
Rajesh Singla, owner of Delhi-based Woodpecker Prints, wasn't surprised when his order numbers shot through the roof during Flipkart's Big Billion Days sale. That was expected for many Flipkart sellers. But the sheer number did have him scrambling to deliver on time. "We are generally used to getting 1,700 orders a day on average, but during The Big Billion Days sale we received over 55,000," he says.
So, despite some reservations, he called up the Flipkart Troops. "I knew about the Flipkart Troops initiative, but I thought it was for bigger sellers. Why would they come to us?" But when members of Flipkart Troops did arrive to help him with packaging, it came as a huge relief and Rajesh had more time to focus on his sales.
For the thousands of small- and medium-sized sellers in Flipkart's Marketplace ecosystem, The Big Billion Days sale is the most exciting and stressful time of the year. With the number of orders going up as much as ten times, they need all the help they can get. That's why this year, Flipkart launched the Flipkart Troops initiative — an enthusiastic group of young students who traveled from warehouse to warehouse, helping with packaging. This logistical dream team not only finished the mountain of work on time, but also put a smile on the sellers' faces.

Arm TechCon, taking place October 16-18th at the San Jose Convention Center, brings together over 4,000 engineers, architects, developers, and product engineers in a three-day experience with Arm.
Exhibitors at the show are planning their booth strategies, giveaways, presentations, and new product launches to drive awareness, exposure, and, eventually, sales.
Here are a few tips as you prepare for Arm TechCon to drive maximum exposure and return on investment.
2) Arm TechCon In-Booth Video. Our content team will shoot a 1-3 minute In-Booth video at your booth at Arm TechCon. All videos will be featured on our home page, our Radar E-newsletter, our YouTube Channel and on social.
3) Time to get social. You can view everything going on at Arm TechCon on Twitter. You can follow the hashtag #ArmTechCon to see what vendors and attendees are talking about. You can also follow https://twitter.com/embedded_comp for live coverage of the show as well.
Follow and network with others using #ArmTechCon to expand your reach.
4) Think search engine optimization (SEO). SEO needs to be part of your equation. When we think about the engineer's journey from gathering information to purchasing, content must be available to validate the engineer's decision. Everything you do on your own site as well as beyond your site is incorporated into how Google ranks your pages. Thus, having links that point back to your site helps drive your SEO.
5) Keywords are key. Your sales team and field application engineers (FAEs) get lots of questions, complaints, challenges, and specific words that engineers use to search for products and technologies. Use these words in the content you produce and try to create content from an end-user perspective including industrial, iot, industry 4.0, IIoT, wearables, machine learning, ai and more.
6) Blogs and content. Create content that labels you as the expert, but also keep in mind that it should aid your sales team in their sales process. Sales representatives can reference this collateral when courting prospective buyers. Blogging is always available on Embedded Computing Design at www.embedded-computing.com. We can also ghost-write a blog on your behalf as well.
