Nokia 8110 4G 'Matrix Phone' Goes on Sale in India for Rs. 5,999
Nadeem Sarwar - Last Updated: October 24, 2018 5:26 pm
HMD Global launched the Nokia 8110 4G 'Matrix Phone' in India earlier this month alongside the Nokia 3.1 Plus. Starting today, the Nokia 8110 4G will now be available from the Nokia online store and authorized retail outlets across the country at Rs. 5,999.
The dual-SIM device sports a 2.4-inch QGVA curved display, and it is powered by a 1.1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 205 SoC. There's also 512MB of LPDDR3 RAM on-board along with 4GB built-in storage which is expandable up to 32GB. Sadly, you won't be able to take selfies due to the lack of a front-facing camera, but you do get a 2MP rear camera.
The Nokia 8110 4G packs a 1,500mAh battery which is claimed to offer up to 25 days of standby time. On the software side, the device runs KaiOS and comes with a ton of Jio's apps such as MyJio, JioTV, etc. pre-installed, just like the JioPhone 2. And thanks to KaiOS, the device can also run apps such as WhatsApp, YouTube, Google, etc. but just don't expect the same level of functionality that is available on smartphones from these apps. The phone also comes with a bunch of pre-loaded games including the iconic Snake game in a new avatar.
The Nokia 8110 4G, which is available in Traditional Black and Banana Yellow color options, also comes with an exclusive free data offer for Jio subscribers. As per an official press release, users will get up to 544GB of free 4G data if they use a Jio SIM on the Nokia 8810 4G.

The Two China Fires
Sábado, 25/Jul/2020 Bret L. Stephens The New York Times

We'll probably never know exactly what sorts of documents were incinerated at China's Consulate in Houston in the days before the United States forced it to close on Friday, after accusing it of being a hub of espionage. We may also never know what caused this month's catastrophic fire aboard the U.S.S. Bonhomme Richard, a massive amphibious assault ship that was being fitted out to double as a small aircraft carrier, in the port of San Diego.
What we should know is that the two fires are actually one. We are racing toward a conflict with China we may be ill-prepared to wage.
The closure of the consulate comes on the heels of a quad of bellicose speeches from top administration officials, collectively amounting to a declaration of Cold War against China. Robert O'Brien, the national security adviser, painted China's leadership as unreconstructed Marxist-Leninists. The F.B.I. director, Christopher Wray, spoke of China's practice in the art of "malign foreign influence." Attorney General Bill Barr accused China of "economic blitzkrieg." And Secretary of State Mike Pompeo hinted the free world may need a new version of NATO, this one aimed at Beijing instead of Moscow.
Given that the source is Team Trump and the timing is an election year, it's tempting to dismiss the speeches' warnings as cynical, hypocritical, political — and therefore wrong. Why complain about civil liberties in Hong Kong when we have goon squads in Portland? Why accuse China of trashing global norms when that's been Trump's ambition from the beginning? Why characterize Chinese President Xi Jinping as a linear ideological descendant of Joseph Stalin when, as we know from John Bolton, Trump was fulsomely praising him and soliciting his help for his re-election bid?
And why all of this now, when Trump needs enemies both foreign and domestic to rescue his flagging re-election bid?
But the problem with these questions is that — however on-point they are as criticisms of Trump — they obscure two hard facts a Biden administration will also confront. The first is that, under Xi, China has become drastically more repressive at home, more aggressive abroad, and more shameless about both than at nearly any point since the death of Mao.
This is not a matter of Beijing reacting badly to Trump (as the early Obama administration erroneously supposed that bad relations with Russia were a matter of Moscow reacting badly to George W. Bush). Some of China's biggest digital heists date to the Obama years — including the 2015 hack of the Office of Personnel Management, which gave Beijing the background security files for nearly 22 million current or former U.S. government employees and their family members. China's outrageous and illegal claims to most of the South China Sea also predate Trump and will fester long after he's gone.
What stands out now is just how brazen Beijing has become. Take one detail from Wray's speech: "We have now reached the point where the F.B.I. is opening a new China-related counterintelligence case about every 10 hours," he said. In one case, a single scientist, Hongjin Tan, pleaded guilty to stealing an estimated $1 billion in trade secrets from an Oklahoma-based energy company.
Multiply that hundreds if not thousands of times over, and what you have is arguably the largest single theft of foreign property since Germany looted Europe in World War II. Whatever else one might say against the Trump administration, it isn't lying about China.
But this brings us to the second blunt fact. U.S. power in East Asia is waning. Trump's decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership — the single best hedge the U.S. had against Chinese economic dominance of the region — may, in hindsight, prove to be his single worst policy mistake. He has tried to shake down both South Korea and Japan to pay more for basing U.S. forces: penny ante politics that only raise doubts about America's reliability as an ally.
And then there's the degraded state of the U.S. Navy, epitomized by the fire on the Bonhomme Richard (itself the latest in a string of corruption, leadership, cost over-run and competency scandals to bedevil the service). Trump came to office with grand plans to build a 355-ship Navy, up from the current 300. The Pentagon all but admits it has no hope of reaching that goal. Meanwhile, the Chinese Navy — which isn't stretched around the world — has 335 ships, a 55 percent increase in 15 years,
If the U.S. and the People's Republic were to come to blows after some incident over some atoll in the South China Sea, are we confident we'd prevail?
When (fingers crossed) Joe Biden is president, he needn't ask his cabinet members to deliver philippics against Beijing. But, as George Kennan once wrote about another regime, he must be prepared to confront China with "unalterable counter force at every point where they show signs of encroaching upon the interests of a peaceful and stable world."

An involuntary disposal occurs if a depreciating asset is:
lost or destroyed
compulsorily acquired by an entity (other than a foreign government agency)
disposed of to an entity (other than a foreign government agency) after they served a notice on you inviting you to negotiate a sale agreement. They must have informed you that, if negotiations are unsuccessful, the asset will be compulsorily acquired either under an Australian law, other than chapter 6A of the Corporations Act 2001 or under a foreign law, other than the equivalent of chapter 6A of the Corporations Act 2001.
fixed to land that is disposed of to an entity (other than a foreign government agency) where a mining lease was compulsorily granted over the land and the lease significantly affected (or would have significantly affected) your use of the land, and the entity to which you disposed of the land is the lessee.
You may offset an assessable balancing adjustment amount arising from an involuntary disposal against the cost of one or more replacement assets. If you offset an amount against the cost of a replacement asset for an income year after the one in which the replacement asset's start time occurs, you must also reduce the sum of its opening adjustable value plus any second elements of its cost for that later year.
You must incur the expenditure on the replacement asset, or start to hold it, no earlier than one year before the involuntary disposal and no later than one year after the end of the income year in which that disposal occurred.
The Commissioner can agree to extend the time limit - for example, if it is unlikely that insurance claims in relation to the disposal of the original asset will be settled within the required time even though you have taken all reasonable steps to have the insurance claims settled.
To offset the assessable balancing adjustment amount, the replacement asset must be wholly used, or installed ready for use, by you for a taxable purpose at the end of the income year in which you incurred the expenditure on the asset or you started to hold it, and you must be able to deduct an amount for it.

1911 (the earliest tombstone found by ESJF).
1985 (the latest tombstone found by ESJF).
There is an Ohel on the site.
According to the Commission on the Preservation of Jewish Heritage, the cemetery was established in the early 17th century. It can be found marked on a Russian map of the region from 1907-1909.

The Jewish community was destroyed in 1648. The community was revived by the end of the 17th century. The synagogue was rebuilt in 1690.
The Jewish community suffered from pogroms in 1736 and 1768. In 1765 Pohrebyshche was home to 664 Jews. According to the census of 1847 there were 1,726 Jewish residents. From 1880, the Rabbi was Shlomo David Weisberg. At the turn of the 20th century, Jews were engaged in crafting and trade.
According to the census of 1897, the Jewish population numbered 2,494 people, which was 40% of the town. At the beginning of the 20th century many of the Jews moved to the USA. In 1912 a loan-saving partnership was in operation. In 1914, the Jewish community owned: both pharmacy goods warehouses, 4 timber yards, a mead brewery,a watchmaker and more than 70 small shops. There were 4 synagogues at this time. The Jewish community survived the pogroms in 1917, 1919, in which around 400 Jews were murdered, hundreds were injured, the houses and shops were looted and the synagogue was destroyed.
In 1926 there were 2,881 Jewish residents (30%). By 1939 the Jewish population had halved to 1445 people (15.2%).
Michael (Mishe) Lev, Yiddish language writer, (- 23 May 2013) was born on 3 July 1917 in Pohrebyshche.
Pohrebyshche was occupied in July 1941. In October 1941, 1,360 Jews were murdered.
In 1990 there were around 300 Jews living in Pohrebyshche.
The exact period of the cemetery's establishment is unknown. According to the Commission on the Preservation of Jewish Heritage, the cemetery was established in the early 17th century.

'A labor of love': Yali's Cafe celebrates grand opening in Sutardja Dai Hall

Yali's Cafe opens at Sutardja Dai Hall bringing avocado toast, new juices
Qualcomm Cafe to reopen with new vendor Yali's in January
1951 Coffee Company opens 2nd location in Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union
Yali's Cafe celebrated the grand opening of its new location in Sutardja Dai Hall on Tuesday morning amid the aroma of roasting coffee beans and the clamor of eager students.
At the grand opening, the cafe offered free coffee and espresso beverages. The new storefront also offered samples of pastries, including chocolate zucchini bread and sandwiches, such as the popular turkey pesto panini, to the delight of crowds of students.
The new location quietly opened in February to replace CalDining as the operator of Qualcomm Cafe, which closed in spring 2016. The cafe is just now hosting its grand opening, however, as there was no opportunity to do so last semester, according to Yali's Cafe co-owner and manager Elan Lieber.
"I think any time you open a new space you should celebrate," Lieber said. "It's a labor of love — you spend a lot of time on it, so naturally you want to celebrate it."
The renovated cafe — the first storefront Yali's has opened in a decade — is the company's fourth location in Berkeley. Unlike the Yali's Cafe in Stanley Hall, the new location offers hot sandwiches and an expanded breakfast menu, including avocado toast.
According to Lieber, the Yali's staff is composed mainly of undergraduate students, many of whom return each semester.
Campus sophomore Emily Wicks, who works at the new Yali's, said she and many of the other baristas trained and covered shifts at the Stanley Hall location last year before working in the new storefront. Fellow barista Jordan O'Rourk, a campus sophomore, added that traffic in the cafe has increased since last semester.
"It's a lot of fun — I like all the employees," Wicks said. "I definitely work here because it's fun, not because I need the job."
Yali's Cafe secured its space in Sutardja Dai Hall through a competitive bid with the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society, or CITRIS, whose headquarters are located in the building, according to Domenico Caramagno, director of facilities and operations at CITRIS.
"We wanted to make it competitive in the sense that we wanted to see how different vendors could use this space, not only to serve coffee and food but also to provide service to students and faculty," Caramagno said.
The new location accepts Cal 1 debit as a form of payment, along with cash or card, but does not accept flex dollars or meal swipes.
Many students, including campus sophomore Alejandro Sannia, cited the cafe's location as a major perk. Sannia, who has classes close to the new Yali's, said the new storefront is more convenient and saves time between classes.
"I like the coffee here more compared to other nearby cafes," Sannia said. "This location definitely has a good variety of foods, quiches and smoothies."
Campus sophomore Davina Dou said she frequents the Yali's in Stanley Hall but thinks that the new location is more "chic" and "modern."
"I feel like this location is definitely more student-oriented because it's on campus and it's close to a lot of classrooms," Dou said. "It's a good study space and a good place to grab a quick bite."

Clarification(s):
A previous version of this article may have implied that Yali's has replaced Qualcomm Cafe. In fact, Yali's has replaced CalDining as the operator of Qualcomm Cafe.

Feeling Your Mobile As A Part Of Yourself?
Blogvasion Team 5:50 AM Mobiles , Science and Technology
If you are one of those people who are addict on their mobile phones, don't get surprised if once you will feel your mobile vibration even though you will not have it on you. Such story happened to the manager at the public relations company Jonathan Zaback: one day when he was showing off his new Blackberry to the bunch of friends, he felt the mobile vibrating: "I reached down to grab it and realized there was no BlackBerry there".
Zaback is one of those people who even sleep with their mobiles by their bed, checking them several times during the night, and waking up on the alarm of the mobile. "As long as it doesn't mean a tumor is growing on my leg because of my BlackBerry, I'm fine with it," he said. "Some people have biological clocks, I might have a biological BlackBerry".
Although there is a lack of serious research in this respect, the given phenomenon is already known in scientific circles as "ringxiety" or "fauxcellarm". The fact is, most mobile users already feel their favourite devices to be a part of themselves, just one more sensor organ "connecting" a human to the outside world, just like eyes, ears or nose. So to certain mobile addicts, the phantom vibrations are even a point of pride.
However, for most of the mobile users such occurings create lots of new problems. For example, the president and owner of e-ventsreg.com in New Jersey, Jeff Posner has seized wearing the mobile on his belt, to avoid the phantom vibrations. However after moving it to his chest pocket the mobile went further and began to dial one and the same number automatically. Posner explained such a phenomenon following way: "Phones have favorite friends," he said. "It's like your phones have a thing for each other. Of course, it's a female friend, so my wife is like, "You're calling her all the time."
Jake Ward, a former press secretary for Sen. Olympia Snowe and current director of Qorvis Communications Inc., a public relations company in Washington, D.C., claims he can pre-feel a call or a messige coming: "I'll feel it, look at it. It's not vibrating. Then it starts vibrating," he says. More than that: he had shifted the mobile from his belt to the jacket, but still feels the Blackberry on its previous place: "I am one with my BlackBerry."- Ward proudly comments.
The same happens to the "Dilbert" cartoonist Scott Adams, who writes on his blog, dilbert.org, that he feels vibrations about 10 times a day, which means he got an e-mail with good news.
So the mobile phones can be even more "smart" then both their producers and consumers have dreamt on. Whether this is a good or bad news for the active users of mobiles, is a complicated question, and each person should decide it individually.

'Yellow journalism': The back story to a sneer, 115 years on
In 1897, Anniversaries, Spanish-American War, Yellow Journalism on January 31, 2012 at 6:35 am
Wardman: Gave us 'yellow journalism'
"Yellow journalism" is a disparaging epithet often invoked in journalism, even though its derivation is little known.
This is the back story to a sneer that trips easily off the tongue with scorn and condescension.
The first verified use of the term was 115 years ago today, when "yellow journalism" appeared in the old New York Press.
The phrase "the Yellow Journalism" appeared in a small headline on the Press' editorial page on January 31, 1897. The phrase also appeared that day in the newspaper;s editorial page gossip column, "On the Tip of the Tongue."
"Yellow journalism" was quickly embraced in American newspapering, as a way to disparage and denigrate the freewheeling practices of William Randolph Hearst and his New York Journal as well as Joseph Pulitzer and the New York World.
Within weeks of the first use of the term, references to "yellow journalism" had appeared in newspapers in Providence, Richmond, and San Francisco.
In the 115 years since then, "yellow journalism" has turned into a derisive if vague shorthand for denouncing sensationalism and journalistic misconduct of all kinds.
"It is," I wrote in my 2001 book, Yellow Journalism: Puncturing the Myths, Defining the Legacies, "an evocative term that has been diffused internationally, in contexts as diverse as Greece and Nigeria, as Israel and India."
I also noted that yellow journalism emerged in "a lusty, fiercely competitive, and intolerant time, when newspapers routinely traded brickbats and insults" and even threats.
Just how Wardman and the Press came up with "yellow journalism" is not clear.
The newspaper's own, brief discussion of the term's derivation was decidedly unrevealing. "We called them Yellow because they are Yellow," the Press said in 1898 in a comment about the Journal and the World.
In the 1890s, the color yellow sometimes was associated with depraved literature, which may have been an inspiration to Wardman, an austere figure largely lost to New York newspaper history. (The New York Times said in 1923 in its obituary of Wardman: "Like many another anonymous worker in journalism, his name was not often conspicuously before the public, and he was content to sink his personality in that of the papers which he served.")
Wardman, who earned a bachelor's degree in three years at Harvard University, once was described as showing "Calvinistic ancestry in every line of his face." He did little to conceal his contempt for Hearst and Hearst's flamboyant style of journalism.
Disdain routinely spilled into the columns of the Press, of which Wardman became editor in chief in 1896 at the age of 31. (The Press ceased publication in 1916.)
The Press took to taunting Hearst, Hearst's mother, and Hearst's support for Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan in the 1896 presidential election. Hearst's Journal was virtually alone among New York newspapers in supporting Bryan's "free silver" candidacy.
The Press taunted Hearst, then 34, as a mama's boy and "little Willie." It referred to the Journal as "our silverite, or silver-wrong, contemporary."
The Press also experimented with pithy if stilted turns of phrase to denounce "new journalism," Hearst's preferred term to characterize his style of newspapering.
"The 'new journalism,'" the Press said in early January 1897 "continues to think up a varied assortment of new lies."
Later in the month, the Press asked in a single-line editorial comment:
"Why not call it nude journalism?"
It clearly was a play on "new journalism" and was meant to suggest the absence of "even the veneer of decency."
It wasn't long before Wardman and the Press seized upon the phrase "yellow-kid journalism," which evoked the Hearst-Pulitzer rivalry over a popular cartoon character known as the "Yellow Kid." Both the Journal and the World at the time were publishing versions of the kid.
The Yellow Kid (Library of Congress)
At the end of January 1897, the phrase "yellow-kid journalism" was modified to "the Yellow Journalism," and the sneer was born.
Wardman turned often to this delicious pejorative, invoking it in a number of brief editorial comments such as:
"The Yellow Journalism is now so overripe that the little insects which light upon it quickly turn yellow, too."
The diffusion of "yellow journalism" was confirmed when Hearst's Journal embraced the term in mid-May 1898, during the Spanish-American War. With typical immodesty, it declared:
"… the sun in heaven is yellow—the sun which is to this earth what the Journal is to American journalism."

Plough Soil
Figure 43: Plough damage at Cottam
A series of regularly-spaced shallow V-shaped grooves ran across each trench at Cottam, aligned NNW-SSE. The grooves were generally placed at intervals of 1.8m across, although there were some instances of double-grooves, and 'dog-legs', and other cases where there was a larger gap. Towards the west edge of COT95 there was a set of short grooves running at right-angles to the main alignment; some of these continued across the full width of the site. The grooves are known to be plough furrows related to an episode of deep ploughing associated with potato planting in 1989. The small perpendicular group in COT95 provides evidence for a small area of cross-ploughing. The fills were generally dark grey brown silty clay loam and were indistinguishable from the overlying ploughsoil, although where the grooves had cut through underlying features they incorporated fill from the surrounding matrix.
A general layer of dark grey brown clay loam, c.0.2-0.3m in depth (1000, 1001, 1080, 3000, 3003, 3022, 4000, 4025, 4176) overlay the excavated areas in each trench. This layer was removed by machine, with shovel cleaning of the residue. Finds were hand-collected, and the spoil was screened by metal-detectors. This layer is twentieth-century ploughsoil, but incorporates material disturbed from earlier features. In particular, it contained a number of residual finds and abundant chalk fragments of varying size which had probably been disturbed from the underlying chalk bedrock by the plough, and were being gradually broken up by frost action. Although finds were gathered by hand collection only, in comparison with ploughsoil from COT93, there was only a small quantity of animal bone recovered from the ploughsoil in COT95.

San Diego's Jonny Dee's love for the likes of David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Prince, Marvin Gaye, and Michael Jackson – along with a new found interest in spirituality and peace – has clearly had an influence on his new music. His latest album, 'The Human Experience', which was released in the spring, sees Dee declaring himself to be the new saviour of rock and roll, and blending elements of funk, jazz, psychedelia, and soul, combined with a rap sound and rock. Essentially it's a sound all of his own, which he's dubbed "psychedelic hip hop".
Jonny's latest video, for his song, 'The Man Who Fell From The Sky', sees him announce to the world that he takes everything seriously – apart from himself – when it comes to his art. The track is upbeat and funny, with a central theme about finding joy and excitement in your surroundings, following a time spent in solitude. Opening with a shot of an oddly coloured forest, we see Jonny laying on the ground, clad in a bodysuit, with a guitar across him, and crystals in his hand. We see him throughout the video finding his way through the forest, a grocery store, and a laundromat, invoking change and inspiring positivity along the way, by way of his crystals. The video ends with him on stage, and all of the audience holding fast onto crystals.
Find out more about Jonny Dee via his official website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

The West Coast Quietly Crushed This Election
By Andrew Pridgen -
Underestimate the West Coast, bet against us—and you will lose…big-ly.
By Andrew J. Pridgen
Klay Thompson should have played hoops for a major program in college. The three-sport star out of Los Angeles had the pedigree: Thompson is the son of a college volleyball player, Julie, and the NBA's first overall pick in 1978, Showtime Lakers power forward Mychal. He had the skills: Thompson averaged 21 points per game as a senior and led his Santa Margarita Ranch Catholic High School to a Division III State Championship appearance where he destroyed the state finals record with with seven three-pointers in the game. He was named Division III State player of the year, League MVP, first-team Best in the West and an EA Sports Second Team All American.
Yet he ended up not heavily recruited and mostly sequestered from the national spotlight playing three seasons of college ball at Washington State.
While in Pullman, Thompson was first team all-conference twice and eventually ended up as Golden State's no. 11 overall pick in 2014, selected behind such NBA luminaries as Derrick Williams, Enes Kanter, Jonas Valančiūnas, Bismack Biyombo, Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker and Jimmer Fredette—who? Exactly.
NBA scouting reports on Thompson said while the 6'7" shooting guard could move without the ball and had a nice stroke, there was something a little bit off about the laconic kid. He didn't have that necessary flash or pop you look for in a lottery pick. Front offices openly questioned his strength, his dedication and put a label on him that he disappeared down the stretch of important conference games.
Basically, they thought he was lazy.
And you can see why. Thompson moves slow. If he does talk, the words drip out like the last drops of Gatorade from an Igloo cooler. When he laughs, it kind of simmers to a slow boil and by the time it's actually out there everyone else has moved on to the next thing. He is, in a sense, the personification of the West Coast. Because after all this time of overlooking him or taking him for granted, you realize he's deadly serious and deadly effective once his game face is on.
Didn't see it coming? Nobody did.
I've thought a lot about the sensibilities of Klay Thompson this week in the fallout from the worst campaign season of my lifetime which resulted in electing arguably one of the more decrepit, dyspeptic and downright evil people who has ever walked the planet to a position that requires patience, virtue, intelligence and empathy—traits which in his seven-plus decades scorching this beautiful earth for personal pleasure and gain, he has yet to show in any public manner. I've thought about Thompson because, well, he gives me hope that the West Coast, while constantly underestimated, is always out there crushing.
So I took a minute on Thursday to try to hit reset and see what, exactly, we out here in the West did do down ballot, because I already know that we—by a margin of millions—outright rejected the hateful rhetoric, the celebration of ignorance and intolerance and the fear-mongering that put the president elect in power.
And what I saw was similar to what I saw Thompson do against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. He started out the game hitting all of his his first seven shots and scored 18 of his 20 points in the first quarter, giving the Warriors breathing room to go to work and eventually dismantled their opponent 116-95.
In California, we similarly came out firing Tuesday. Nine billion dollars in bonds for schools was passed. Recreational marijuana became legal and the new law even allows adults 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of and grow up to six pot plants at home. A $2 tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products won big and will direct the money to existing health care programs. A groundbreaking ammunition permitting bill to keep bullets out of the hands of bad guys went through like a hollow point. And a mandate for porn stars to have to wear condoms (no one wants to see a porn star struggle with putting one on—that's too close to real life) was rebuffed.
On a more local level, dead-eyed date-rapey mouthpiece for the alt-right Justin Fareed was defeated by Santa Barbara County Supervisor Salud Carbajal in the mostly conservative central part of the state. San Diego voters stood up to billionaire sports magnates and destroyed the San Diego Chargers' ownership's poly to pilfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars generated by the city's tourism industry to help pay for a stadium to house a sport that no longer captures the public's imagination.
Elsewhere in the West, Oregon's Kate Brown became the first openly bisexual governor and Nevada's Catherine Cortez Masto became the first Latina elected to the Senate. Even in the wake of the election, good things are happening: Seattle will remain a sanctuary city for undocumented immigrants despite Donald Trump's campaign promises to deport and "build a wall." Seattle mayor Ed Murray Thursday said standing by that pledge is "the most American thing we could possibly do" and the rest of the West is expected to similarly fall in line to protect the hard-working families, and in some cases, provide sanctuary as well as a clear path to citizenship. California Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) and California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount) Thursday released this reassuring statement following the results of the election: "We will not be dragged back into the past. We will lead the resistance to any effort that would shred our social fabric or our Constitution. California was not a part of this nation when its history began, but we are clearly now the keeper of its future."
Of course, it is not all burritos and bong rips out here. As I write this, protests rage on from Portland to Oakland to San Francisco to LA. The mostly spirited and youth-driven exercises in freedom of expression, civil liberties and First Amendment rights feature participants carrying LGBT flags, Mexican flags and signs that Trump was, in fact, not our choice and not by a long shot. Those from the alt-right who are decrying the protests as "temper tantrums" best better do something they apparently haven't done since elementary school and crack a history book. Linking arms and marching for what is just and right is the way the fabric of this nation has stayed intact for so long.
And while the results of the election are what they are, and the peaceful transfer of power should be encouraged, that is in no way a mandate from the people or a requirement to accept one of the most ill-prepared and putative figures of divisiveness and derision in the world today as the leader we have chosen—especially because very, very big swaths of the country, and yes, the entire West—did not choose him.
For his part, Trump did the most irresponsible thing he could have and instead of encouraging people to speak out in a measured and non-violent way—including his own followers, he continued to dangerously trample First Amendment rights and blamed, who else… the media by tweeting: "Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!"
Or maybe he does believe in protests—when it's a black man in the White House.
We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
No accountability. No maturity. No fitness for the job he is presumably about to undertake.
But here in the West, a place where we literally are the people he has campaigned against instead of just an idea of them based on stereotypes and false pretense (read: Patrick Thornton's recent op-ed about the real bubble being rural America) I know one thing: My grandfather used to drive me out to his work on Friday afternoons. We would float in his yellow Mercury down the dusty roads of Shafter and Lamont past fields and farm sheds. In the near distance the sun would be setting as it does, every day, over the Pacific. "See that," he once told me. "The day ends in the West, which means we will always have the final say."

Have you all heard of Jidenna? He came out of nowhere, didn't he? I love his style! I noticed him a while back when I watched Janelle Monae's video to her song "Yoga." Then, "Classic Man" came out. I absolutely love that song! It's definitely catchy.
Now even though he's a rapper, he doesn't dress how many people would picture one. His style is inspired by the 1920s, and earlier eras. However, he says he wears it with a modern twist. Check him out!
Many people might wonder why he dresses the way he does, but I think it makes him stand out from the other artists. He's a dapper man.

Messi and the Last Tango in Qatar
Argentina's Lionel Messi is the world's most decorated football player.
Ondrive with Sham Samaroo
(November 17, 2022) – Indisputably the best of his generation, arguably the greatest of all time, Argentina's Lionel Messi is the world's most decorated player with a record seven Ballons d'Or (Footballer of the Year Award) including four in a row (2009-2012). Since his debut at age 17, Messi has netted 695 club goals, won 34 trophies with Barcelona including 10 La Liga titles and four Champions League titles. The Argentinian has won just about everything a player could hope for save one, the World Cup. He came closest in 2014 when, almost singlehandedly, he took Argentina to the finals losing 1- 0 to Germany. Argentina squandered a golden opportunity to take the early lead with Messi, playing as a false nine, creating havoc in the German defense. It gifted Higuain a one-on-one with the German keeper, but he made a mess of it. That miss is one of the worst in World Cup play, and one of several misses by Higuain that day.
But if Higuain's miss in 2014 was ridiculous, Maradona's goal against England in 1986, the last time Argentina won the Cup, was sublime. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. That goal is considered the greatest solo effort in World Cup play. That was 36 years ago. Argentina's disappointment at the 2014 final was repeated with back to back losses in Copa America finals: Meaning Argentina had gone 28 years without winning a trophy of any kind. Although these droughts precede Messi, they hang like the twin swords of Damocles around his neck for most of his career. It ultimately led to him briefly retiring from international football. Returning to the national team in 2021, Messi finally ended the 28-year drought at the famed Maracana by defeating Neymar's Brazil at the Copa America finals. But for many the sword still hangs precariously. For them, only a World Cup win would gain him entry into the pantheon of the all-time greats with the likes of Pele, Maradona, Müller, Charlton, Meazza.
At age 35, Messi knows that this is his last best chance. With 11 goals and 14 assists in 18 games for PSG this season, Messi is up for the challenge. Argentina, too, is arriving in Qatar on a 35-game undefeated run, and is one of the favourites. But the favourite tag brings with it the dangers of complacency, and Messi is cautiously optimistic. He knows only too well that none of this will matter much once the big dance starts on Sunday. Argentina is drawn into the so-called group of death that includes nemesis Mexico, Poland, and Saudi Arabia. A first place finish would set up a round of 16 clash with either defending champions, France, or the dangerous Danes.
As his namesake Lionel Richie tells it: Well, my friends, the time has come, to raise the roof and have some fun. On Tuesday, November 22 Lionel Messi will take to the floor and open the ball (pun intended) in his last tango with Argentina at the World Cup. Starboy is filled with anticipation of seeing Messi in a close embrace with the ball, and a dance full of passion and flirtation: one that will tantalize, mesmerize and finally charm and seduce the most unwilling of partners. People dancing in the street, see the rhythm in their feet. Life is good, wild and sweet. Let the music play on…(Play on, play on, play on…). Feel it in your heart and feel in your soul. Let the (music) game take control…we gonna party all night long…all night…

Lagos govt meets company after employee loses arm in factory accident
July 24, 2019 Ifeoluwa Adediran
hazard warning safety sign
Officials of the Lagos State Safety Commission on Tuesday met with the management of Rigipark Containers Limited over workplace hazards at the latter's factory.
At the meeting, Hakeem Dickson, the director-general of the commission, expressed his displeasure at an incident that resulted in the permanent disability of the company's employee.
He said the state government has zero-tolerance for hazards at the workplace.
Rigipark Containers Limited, a company established in 1978 and situated in Ikeja, manufactures cartons for packaging products.
The meeting came after a December 2018 incident at the company where Kingsley Ifokwe, a contract staff at Rigipark Containers Limited, lost an arm while operating a machine.
Mr Ifokwe's arm was jammed in the machine while he was trying to manually feed papers into it.
He told PREMIUM TIMES that he had been working with the company since 2014 but was laid off in 2015 before he was called back in 2016.
"They dropped me and called me back in 2016. I was a staff from 2014-2015, it was just 10 months before they dropped me and called me back as a contract staff," said Mr Ifokwe, 36, who hails from Abia State.
According to the official report of the incident by the safety commission, some of the causes of the accident included the company's lack of safety management system and failure to train workers on the proper use of machines.
"Also, staff of Rigipark Containers work overtime," the report stated.
"They undergo 12 hours shift with inadequate resting time. Hence, the accident occurred as a result of fatigue, absent-mindedness, and workers overstretching themselves."
On the day the accident occurred, Mr Ifokwe said he resumed work at 7 p.m. and the accident occurred around 4:35 a.m.
According to him, he was not given any resting time, prior to the accident.
"Normally, we go on break but it has been long we experienced break," he said.
According to Mr Dickson, the health and safety of everyone in Lagos are important to the commission and not just environmental health.
"As long as people are in Lagos, we want them to be safe, every company must have a safety policy in place. Allowing workers to work overtime without being paid for it is in itself an offence."
Sanjay Jain, the director of Rigipark, said the company would ensure another accident does not happen again.
He said the company is aware that the required work time is eight hours, and hence they pay their workers for overtime.
"We are a law-abiding corporate institution that was why we reported the incident and we also took care of the victim."
"Rigipark has been in operation since 1978 and no incident of such has occurred. We give them time to rest, in fact, some of them hide in sleep."
Mr Jain also added that personal protective equipment for staff does not cost any organisation much money but people do not want to use them.
"People do not want to use them, you force them, force them but they don't use it."
He said that the company is ready to incorporate all protective measures to avoid a recurrence.
While explaining how the machine severed Mr Ifokwe's arm, Mr Jain said they are not meant to feed paper into the machine while it is in motion.
"This is how it works, you put it off, feed paper into it, then go back to put it on," he added.
Mr Jain also said they would foot Mr Ifokwe's medical bills as well procure an artificial limb for him, adding that he's still on the company's payroll.
Mr Dickson said in addition to the safety measures that Rigipark is mandated to put in place, the company should look into how Mr Ifokwe can be rehabilitated to continue working for the company.
"He might not do factory work but menial jobs such as quality assurance and others. This is a permanent disability which makes it very difficult for him to get another job."
But Mr Ifokwe said he is no longer interested in working for the company.
"I don't like the way they treated me when I was there, if I go back there it is as though I don't know what I'm doing."

The May issue of EPM delves into human resources topics, including the magazine's salary survey, biofuels training and linking compensation to employee performance, writes Tom Bryan. There's also a story about the upcoming FEW.
Salary isn't everything, but it's hard to be happy in your job when you're earning less than people in similar roles inside or outside your company. Ultimately, job satisfaction isn't just about what you make—I think we all know that—but it's definitely related to what you make relative to what's average for your profession within your industry.
Every two years Ethanol Producer Magazine conducts an industry salary and job satisfaction survey. We do this to give the men and women who manage and work at ethanol plants perspective on industry compensation trends. This year's survey was delivered to more than a thousand ethanol plant employees, from CEOs to plant operators, and about one-fourth of them responded. The data was self-reported and collected without random sampling techniques, but strong participation gives weight to the results. Once again, we see an industry full of well-paid, highly educated people who tend to be extremely satisfied with their jobs and loyal to their employers. EPM Senior Editor Susanne Retka Schill, who spearheaded this year's survey and analyzed its results, reports that 8 out of 10 ethanol plant employees received a raise in 2014, and 9 out of 10 took home a bonus. You'll find more data like that, much of it brought to life in vibrantly-colored graphics, in the story.
Our personnel theme continues with "Top Of Biofuels Class." In this story, EPM Managing Editor Holly Jessen reports on the important role that technical colleges and training centers play in providing a steady stream of skilled and upward-bound employees to the ethanol industry. After that, Jessen circles back to topic of compensation in her feature about linking employee pay to individual and company performance goals.
Finally, if you're not already registered for this year's International Fuel Ethanol Workshop & Expo, I urge you to take a look at the agenda today. With four tracks, 25 panels and more than 100 speakers, there is something for every ethanol industry professional at this summer's FEW, taking place June 1-4 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While large corporations are increasingly prevalent in the modern ethanol industry, technology and service providers of all sizes are still finding major opportunities in the space. In "Small Companies, Big Ideas," we highlight the offerings of seven business presenting at the industry largest international forum. See you in Minneapolis.


Participants in the Wiener Halbmarathon ("Vienna Half Marathon") run three laps around the northern part of the Alte Donau (pictured).
The "Old Danube" was a section of the Danube before major river engineering works were carried out in Vienna in the 1870s. These days, it's a lake and a popular recreational area in the north-eastern part of Austria's capital Wien.
In addition to the half marathon, the event offers a 7km run (one lap), a 14km run (two laps), a half marathon relay for teams of three runners (3x7km), children's races and a 7km race for nordic walkers.
Last year, approximately 500 runners took part in the 7km run. The 14km race drew about 350 runners. More than 1,000 completed the half marathon.

"Yesterday"2019-08-01T15:00:00
This popular British musical fantasy comedy film directed by Danny Boyle, an Oscar winner for "Slumdog Millionaire," is an early favorite for awards season. After a worldwide power outage, struggling musician Jack Malik, played by Himesh Patel, wakes up in an alternate reality where the Fab Four never emerged out of Liverpool to teach the world to sing along to such classic songs as "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be." But those tunes do play on a loop in Malik's head, the only person on Earth who remembers John, Paul, George and Ringo. When he starts to play the band's songs, he soon becomes a pop sensation in the eyes of the media and the adoring public. His musical abilities capture the imagination of such mega-selling artists as Ed Sheeran, who plays a version of himself in "Yesterday." PG-13

It was a fair question in reference to my (Tracy) bedtime prayer script. Every night I lay in bed next to my 5-year-old and thank God for how He's grown her that day. Then I asked Him to help her listen to what He tells her to do tomorrow and give her the courage to obey.
It's a prayer you've likely said for your child too. Maybe like you, I never considered how I'd explain it practically to her.
Such a simple explanation from such a small child, but we've seen the continued heart change over the last year to show fruit that her choice was sincere. If she heard His voice so clearly that day, then shouldn't she remember it?
I (Barbara) am realizing, even looking at my own life, that there are so many voices bantering for my attention and devotion each day, that often it's hard not to be to distracted or to choose to follow something that is good but not the best. The questions from our Holy Spirit Summer Blog Club help me to evaluate those influences.
Is it hard for you to apologize and admit you're wrong? (if they are honest the answer will always be yes. You can admit that it's often hard for you too.) Explain to your child "not wanting to admit fault is called your flesh or your pride in the Bible. It means we all want our own way just like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. But God's desire is for your pride to decrease and the humility of Christ to grow in its place. The Holy Spirit who lives in your heart will help you admit you're wrong when you are and He will be pleased and happy when you do.
Are you fighting for your own way and preferences? Do you sometimes like arguing because it's fun even if you know you shouldn't? Help your child understand that part of growing up is learning to listen to others, learning to consider what might be best for another person in the situation? The Holy Spirit wants to lead you to listen to others.
Do you feel jealous sometimes when someone else has something you want or another person gets chosen or receives the prize? Likely your kids say, she ALWAYS gets to go first, I NEVER get to do that, he has MORE than me. Help your children understand that jealousy comes from a heart this is choosing self instead of God. God wants us to rejoice with those who rejoice. He wants us to be content with what we have. Why? Because He is the One who gives all good gifts.
Is it hard for you to choose kindness toward a sibling or classmate who is hard to get along with? Maybe your child knows kindness is the right choice but has no idea how to be kind when they don't feel like it. Explain this is what the Holy Spirit who lives in you wants to do for you. Teach your child how to pray for His help, saying simply, "Jesus, help me choose to be kind to my sister" when she knows the right thing to do but still finds it hard. You might explain too that retaliation, saying, I won't be your friend either, only makes the situation worse.
When you hear a parent's or teacher's correction, do you accept the consequences of your choices? Or do you try to defend yourself in a disrespectful way? If your first instinct is to prove you're right, that is your flesh. It is not the Holy Spirit. The Spirit can help you listen too. Ask Him.
Are you ungrateful and discontent? Discontent means always wanting more of something else instead of being happy with what you have. If so, you're being led by your flesh. Ingratitude is never from the Holy Spirit.
Remind your child that it's okay if she's not where she'd like to be yet. It's very important that you admit to your child that, even as a parent, neither are you. Remind her that neither of you can get there on your own. Tell your child that you are both on a journey to know Jesus more and let Him lead us by His Holy Spirit.
Tell your child you are praying for him or her and then pray aloud together, thanking the Holy Spirit who is at work in you that He is faithful to complete the work He has begun.
The Holy Spirit is the greatest gift to believers, even young children who need their parents to encourage them to belief!
What is the difference between your conscious and God's voice?
As you begin to listen for God's voice, He may also release some gifts of His Spirit to you, such as prophecy, words of knowledge and words of wisdom. (See 1st Corinthians chapters 12 & 14) This can be a wonderful way to encourage others with timely words from the Lord that speak right to what God is doing in their lives.
May the word of Christ dwell in you richly!
Thanks for this! Praising God in all that I've been reading here…. I pray to be a woman of discernment, that Holy Spirit may teach me to be the best mum and person I can be! Amen!
Thanks for this teaching. I'll save and apply it as soon as my children get older. Remain blessed.
Amen. Yes, Thank you Lord Jesus for everything you are. I ask You Holy Spirit to show me how to listen and Obey, I no longer want to seek things of my flesh, I do not want to be selfish and please teach me Lord to pray for my children from a distance for the times I cannot pray with them in person or over the phone. Thank You Jesus and Holy Spirit for your everlasting protection and word and blessings you have poured into my cup, I now see it is greatly overflowing Amen. Please teach me discernment as a woman and how to be a blessing to others in a correct way. Teach me and show me, speak to me Holy Spirit and guide me in the way I should go. Please here the truth behind my words and here my unspoken prayers Amen.
Wonderful teaching. I am blessed as a parent. Thanks and God bless.
Yes, Amen I agree. I enjoy some much this Family Life information. There is an overflow of abundance in the information Family Life provides. Thank You God.
