“Deadman Peak” (foreground, 2562m) and its scenic ridge walk as viewed from the summit of Crowsnest Mountain.
“Deadman Peak” is the nickname that Jeff and I have given to an unnamed, 2562m summit located in the High Rock Range directly to the west of Crowsnest Mountain and directly to the north of Mount Tecumseh across Deadman Pass – hence the name. There are actually two peaks, but as we found out, the slightly higher peak to the north is inaccessible from the southern peak. I’ve had this destination on my radar for several years because it is quite a prominent feature in the Crowsnest Pass, but I’ve never been able to find a trip report for it. Since neither of us particularly care if our chosen destination has been ‘officially’ named, we had no hesitation in deciding to explore a route up this intriguing mountain. What we discovered was a highly enjoyable ridge walk coupled with great summit views. It was definitely a worthwhile trip!
Edit 25 August 2016: I noticed that So Nakagawa (a.k.a. soistheman) has also posted a trip report about this peak. He ascended it in 2013, but did not published his report until August of 2015 – a month after our trip. I would definitely encourage people to read it as he uses a slightly different ascent route. I would also recommend Andrew Nugara’s trip report from July 2016.
Quick recap: our route followed Deadman Pass Trail until we reached the first avalanche slope at the southern end of the mountain. From here we scrambled up ~550m to gain the ridge. We then followed the ridge north to the base of Deadman Peak where we used goat trails to traverse to a steep gully which we then used to scramble up to the summit.
The details: to reach our starting point from Lethbridge, turn north off of Highway 3 onto the Allison Creek Road just west of Coleman. Once you reach the end of the pavement and cross the cattle guard, continue straight for another ~4.8km until you come to a short road that leads into a large clearing on your left hand side. Here is where we parked our vehicle. Deadman Pass Trail begins on the western end of the clearing.
Deadman Pass Trail is a popular recreational route that leads across the Continental Divide into BC. Surprisingly, we did not encounter a single ATV and as a result, enjoyed a peaceful 3.86km walk to the base of the mountain. We used the first avalanche slope that we came to as our ascent route up to the ridge. The route from the trail to the ridge is steeper than it appears and care must be taken while scrambling because the quality of the rock is poor. There is also an abundance of annoyingly loose scree. Our journey along the ridge (or “the Great Wall”) to our summit route was an enjoyable ~1.57km ridge walk. On our way back, we debated dropping directly into the valley beneath the summit, but opted instead to retrace our route along the ridge to minimize any potential bushwhacking. Before we reached the end of the ridge, we decided to descend what looked like a scree slope back to the trail. The usable scree soon disappeared only to be replaced with sections of scree covered slab. This made our egress off of the mountain more difficult.
Goat trails made it possible for us to traverse from the ridge to our ascent route without losing elevation. We chose to go up the first gully that we came to and descend to a second gully further to the NW. In hindsight, it may have been better to follow the second gully as far as possible and then attempt to ascend from there, though there are several sections of slabs in this area so I can’t say for certain if it would be a viable way to ascend. We stuck to the solid rock in our ascent gully for as long as we could until we came to nothing but loose scree. From here we migrated over to a small ridge comprised of mostly solid rock which we then used to gain the summit ridge. This whole section is deceptively steep and progress was slow.
Our total distance travelled was 15.3km with total elevation gains of 1168m. The one way distance from our vehicle to the summit was 7.44km. Our roundtrip time was 8 hours and 46 minutes.
Deadman Peak as viewed from our starting point just off of Allison Creek Road. Our route followed the entire ridge from left to right. I was told by my friend Clay, that this section is sometimes referred to as “The Great Wall” which would make sense. In all honesty, I’m sure that our First Nations friends have had a name for this mountain for centuries but none of us have asked what it is and so we naively assume it is ‘unnamed’.
The trail to reach the base of the mountain is visible at the far end of the clearing. Note the incredibly awesome rooftop tent on the Toyota HiLux just to the right of Jeff.
Shortly after leaving the clearing, the trail swung left and crossed Allison Creek.
Sentry Mountain (left) and Mount Tecumseh (right) soon came into view. Travel along Deadman Pass Trail is easy and the further you go, the more scenic it becomes. One source indicates that the name, Deadman Pass, is in reference to 40 US Cavalry soldiers who were ambushed here in the 19th century. This is highly spurious and what is more likely, is that the name was imported from an event which occurred outside of the region – perhaps involving the US Cavalry and the Nez Perce in Montana. Ian McKenzie speculates that this same event may also be related to the naming of Nez Perce Creek. (http://www.crowsnestheritage.ca/Newsletters/June_2010_ENewsletter.pdf).
We stayed left at the first fork we came to.
When we encountered a second fork, we once again stayed to the left . The trail will soon begin to make a long, but gradual descent into Deadman Pass.
Looking back towards Crowsnest Mountain after we had descended into the Pass.
When we came to a third fork in the road, we continued straight ahead.
This is the sign located at the third fork.
About ~3km into the trip, a shallow, but beautiful lake appeared next to the trail. The water was crystal clear and several moose tracks could be seen along the bottom.
After hiking for 3.86km, we came to the first open slope that led up to the ridge. This is where we left the trail and headed for the band of rock at the top.
Looking up at the first rock band that we encountered. I mistakenly thought that I could tackle it from the right until I discovered that the rock was too frail to provide enough decent holds. Jeff gained the ridge fairly quickly by keeping to climber’s left while I found myself stymied 3m up on the rock face. I then had to down climb and backtrack to the base where I then proceeded to use Jeff’s route.
This is where Jeff found an easier route to the top of the first rock band – by keeping to the climber’s left. “Alexander Creek Mountain” is in the background.
The scree above the first band of rock was quite loose so we stuck as close as possible to the sections of exposed rock. Here, I’m ascending out of a small gully. (Photo by Jeff Lang).
After ~550m of climbing we finally gained the ridge (a.k.a “The Great Wall”). Deadman Peak is in the distance (~1.57km away) with the summit located on the right. We were surprised to find a small concrete cairn on top of the first point along the ridge (foreground). It looked like it might have been a surveyor’s marker at one time, but anything other than the concrete base had long since vanished. Someone had built a small cairn on top of the high point pictured on the right, but this was far from being the highest point along the ridge, so I’m guessing that this was the turnaround point for a previous party.
Jeff stands next to a small cairn (2180m) that we found along the ridge. This was not the high point on the ridge. From left to right, Mount McLaren, Mount Coulthard, Mount Parrish, Chinook Peak, and Mount Tecumseh.
This pano stitched together rather poorly, but it does give a sense of the view from the cairn to the north. The Seven Sisters are on the right.
Looking east towards the Seven Sisters and Crowsnest Mountain.
Another view to the south from the cairn. Turtle Mountain, Hillcrest Mountain, Willoughby Ridge, and “The Saddle” are visible in the distance to the left.
Jeff leaves the cairn behind as we continue our enjoyable ridge walk towards the base of the summit.
The ridge gradually gains elevation along its entire length, especially as it approaches the base of Deadman Peak. Our ascent route would go up the gully on the far right.
Our ascent gully. This route is deceptively steep but we were able to avoid a bit of scree bashing by sticking as closely as possible to the exposed rock inside the gully – at least for a while. When we ran out of usable rock we migrated to the ridge on left.
Part way up the gully, Jeff pauses to examine a fossil.
Jeff approaches the point in the gully where we ran out of solid rock and began to head towards the small ridge located to the climber’s left.
Once on the ridge, it was easier to ascend but make no mistake, it was a steep slog at times. The summit is not visible.
Jeff reaches the summit well ahead of me.
Jeff on the summit of Deadman Peak (2562m). Not finding a cairn, Jeff built one while he was waiting for me to join him on the summit. We would supersize this iteration before we left, however, we did not have anything that we could use as a container to host a registry. I would name the cairn, Brad.
My GPS readings on the summit.
Looking east at the Seven Sisters and Crowsnest Mountain from the summit. In the distance on the right is Bluff Mountain and Saskatoon Mountain. Centre Peak is visible in the distant centre and Thunder Mountain is on the far left.
Looking north along the High Rock range at Allison Peak (just to the left of the cairn). Racehorse Mountain is visible immediately to the right of Allison. Deadman’s twin peak can be seen to the right of the cairn. In case you are wondering, it did not look even remotely possible to make the trip over to it from the summit. It would probably be best to approach the second peak from the north or the west.
Looking southward from the summit. Mount Ptolemy is the tall peak on the far left. Sentry Mountain, Mount Tecumseh, Phillipps Peak, “Shooting Star Peak”, Loop Ridge, the Natal Fire Lookout, and Mount Erickson (far right) are also visible. In the foreground centre of the picture sits “Alexander Creek Mountain”. On our way back, we would descend the scree slopes on the left to the vegetation covered bowl below.
A close up view of Mount Erickson.
The views of the surrounding area were excellent.
Another great view of the Crowsnest Pass and probably one that is not too common. The Livingstone Range, the Castle Crown, and the north end of the Flathead Range are all visible from the summit. We were thankful that the haze that was present earlier in the day from forest fires had cleared by the time we reached the summit.
Another pano looking to the south. Deadman Peak is actually 13m higher than Mount Tecumseh (centre left). “Alexander Creek Mountain” looks very distinct from this angle.
The summit is very small and is surrounded by sheer cliffs immediately to its west, north, and east (pictured). To quote the immortal protestations of Father Dougall McGuire, “Careful now!” – everyone’s watched the popular ’90s Irish TV comedy, Father Ted, right?
On the summit of Deadman Peak (2562m). From left to right: Allison Peak, Racehorse Mountain, and Deadman’s slightly higher twin peak.
Jeff and I on the summit. This was my first attempt at using the selfie stick that I received for Father’s Day – which I guess now makes me a bane to society.
After spending about 30 minutes on the summit and enjoying the views, it was time to leave.
Instead of retracing our ascent route, we decided to descend scree slopes to the bottom of the bowl.
Looking back from the ridge. Our ascent route went up the gully on the far right while our descent route reached the vegetation covered bowl on the left. From the bowl, we used goat trails to traverse back to the ridge. We debated dropping all the way into the valley below and bushwhacking our way back to the trail, but we decided that we would walk the ridge one more time.
Near to where we originally gained the ridge, we decided it would be a good idea to drop down this avalanche slope to the trail below.
Looking back at Jeff as he navigates his way down the slab covered slope.
The final section of bushwhacking at the bottom of the avalanche slope before reaching the trail.
While bushwhacking, we came across what appeared to be a popular scratching tree for the area’s resident bear population.
There was much rejoicing when we finally reached the trail.
The early evening sunlight and the lack of ATVs made for a peaceful and scenic 4km return trip along Deadman Pass Trail.
After 15.3km and 8 hours and 46 minutes, we finally arrived back at our vehicle; capping off a fun day of exploration. Deadman Peak was not all sunshine and roses, but the long and scenic ridge walk coupled with the great views from the summit, far outweighed the negatives. Even the short hike in along Deadman Pass Trail was well worth our time. I’m not sure if many people visit Deadman Peak (“The Great Wall” probably sees more traffic), but this intense experience of beauty and diversity once again reminded me as to why I love the Crowsnest Pass. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T16:00:49Z', 'url': 'https://peaksandstreams.com/2015/07/04/deadman-peak-3-july-2015/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
Their breeding habitat is mixed forests in the Rocky Mountains and Great Basin areas of North America. They nest in a cavity in a dead tree. Other species which nest in tree cavities reuse nests formerly used by these birds.

The Yellow-bellied sapsucker is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) is a medium-sized woodpecker found in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. Contents - * 1 Taxonomy * 2 Description * 2.1 Vocalization * 2. More
Although most non-birders believe that the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is a fictitious bird created just for the humorous name, in fact it is a widespread species of small woodpecker. Its habit of making shallow holes in trees to get sap is exploited by other bird species, and the sapsucker can be considered a "keystone" species, one whose existence is vital for the maintenance of a community. More
The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is part of the New World sapsucker genus Sphyrapicus, which is within the woodpecker family Picidae. The genus also includes the Red-naped Sapsucker, Red-breasted Sapsucker, and Williamson's Sapsucker. More
Many people think the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is a mythical bird because its name is often used to parody bird names. It is not only real, it is in some ways a keystone species. Like all woodpeckers, it excavates nest cavities that subsequently are used by a wide variety of animals, from other birds to squirrels and spiders. Sapsuckers also drill sap wells from which other animals obtain nutritious sap and the insects attracted to it. More
Bugs Bunny, the yellow-bellied sapsucker’s moniker aptly describes its appearance and habits. Both males and females indeed have a pale yellow underside, and tree sap constitutes a large portion of this woodpecker’s diet. In fact, sapsuckers have mastered the difficult craft of making sap flow abundantly from trees. This rare ability makes these hard-working, master craftsmen a desirable neighbor for many other sap-loving animals. More
the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Sphyrapicus varius, is different from that of most woodpeckers, softer and not as long as, for example, that of an industrious Red-bellied or Downy. We imagine the sapsucker is a much louder 'pecker up north when excavating a nest hole or drumming out his territorial signal to rival males or prospective mates, but here in the Carolinas we've not observed the kind of incessant tapping we hear from other woodpeckers when they're after beetle grubs hiding in dead snags. More
The yellow-bellied sapsucker is common in Tennessee during wintering months which for this bird spans September through May. This female visited me on our sunny and warm Thanksgiving day. Above, you can see her relative size, about 9", compared to the pine trunk she's feeding on. Males have a red throat patch while the females' throats are white. She landed fairly close to me without a sound and immediately began her work, steadily pecking, so that my presence seemed of little concern. More
male Red-naped x Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and at worst, it's an atypical male Red-naped. While it took me 45 minutes to find the bird (or more properly, for the bird to find me), after I finally saw it, I studied it from about 4-5:30 p.m. with a scope sometimes as close as 50 feet (17 of my paces) and only 18 feet high in an aspen, and with binoculars while standing only 30 feet away. More
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers breed in the northern forests of Canada and across the northern U. S. from the eastern Dakotas to New England and south through the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and northern Virginia. During the winter, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers migrate to the forests of the southeastern US. Please look at range maps in a field guide such as the Peterson or Sibley guides to see extent of the northern breeding and southern wintering range of this species. More
The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is the only woodpecker that has a vertical white stripe down its side. It has a very striking red crown and forehead with a black border. The face is striped with black and white and the back is black with whitish barring. The upper chest is also black and there's black barring on the side of the belly. The Yellow bellied Sapsucker gets it name from its yellow belly, back, and top part of the chest. More
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers have been found to tap over 250 species of trees and vines. Sap composes up to 20 percent of their diet and is especially important in late summer and autumn, or any time when other food sources are scarce. During the breeding season, they forage in the manner of typical woodpeckers, flaking off bark chips or excavating insects in dead wood. They also sally from perches to catch flying insects in the manner of flycatchers. More
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is a distinctive series of 5 rapid taps followed by slowing taps. Similar Species: * No other woodpeckers have a vertical white stripe on the side. Habitat: * Breeds in young forests and along streams, especially in aspen and birch. * Winters in a variety of forests, especially semi-open woods. Diet: Sap, fruit, arthropods. Also eats tree cambium. More
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers nest in a large cavity excavated in a deciduous tree, often choosing one weakened by disease; the same site may be used for several years. They will mate with the same partner from year to year, as long as both birds survive. They sometimes hybridize with Red-naped Sapsuckers or Red-breasted Sapsuckers where their breeding ranges overlap. More
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is a medium-sized woodpecker. DIET: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker feeds on insects. Most common are beetles, ants, moths and dragonflies. When insects are not abundant, sap is an important food source. During autumn and winter, it feeds on berries and fruits. Frequently, the bird may adopt a tree, and feeds on it year after year, especially birches. More
for long migration, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is strongly migratory, wintering in the southeastern U.S. down through Central America, and summering in the northern U.S. and Canada. Similar Species: Red-naped Sapsucker, Williamson's Sapsucker Feeders: Fruit, will use hummingbird feeders for nectar, occasionally suet. Conservation Status: Populations are generally stable and may be on the increase. More

SUCK TONGUE-TIP: Finally, hours after they drilled the hole, they get to suck the sap from the tip of their tongues. These small holes shouldn't cause damage to the tree. More
DISTRIBUTION: The yellow-bellied sapsucker is completely migratory. It ranges throughout mid and eastern North America and migrates southward as far as Panama. Summer breeding grounds are northward from North Carolina to Canada and westward into Alaska. HABITAT: Open forests and orchards are important winter habitats. Breeds mostly in young forest stands in nest cavities constructed in snag trees and dead branches. In the north, the yellow-bellied sapsucker shows a strong preference to nest in live aspens which have soft heart wood. More

The yellow-bellied sapsucker makes holes in the sides of trees looking for sap. They make two types of holes. The first is a round, deep hole looking for sap. They also make rectangular holes that are much shallower and must be maintained in order to continue to let sap flow. This is also when yellow-bellied sapsuckers will eat part of the cambium layer of the tree. More

The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is of moderate conservation importance, because of its low overall density and dependence on snags and appropriate trees for nesting. As a primary cavity nester throughout the northern hardwood and Appalachian forests, this species is important for supplying nest sites for many other forest species. Overall populations appear to be stable or increasing, but the distinctive birds of the high Appalachians are of local conservation concern. More

Big Sean Debuts New Travis Scott Collaboration at Lollapalooza 2017
Nate Santos
Lollapalooza 2017 took place in Chicago this past weekend, and fans of G.O.O.D. Music walked away with a little more than a dope performance from Big Sean. During his Sunday (August 6) night set, the Detroit emcee blessed concertgoers with the debut of a new collaboration with none other than “Way Back” rapper Travis Scott. And from the sound of it, the unreleased joint is about to have clubs on tilt.
The fan footage from Sean’s Lollapalooza set gives us a healthy dose of Travis on the hook while the former hypes up the crowd. Towards the end of the clip, the I Decided. emcee jumps into his verse which kicks off with the bars “This is not a drill it’s a real thing, I don’t want the head unless your mouth clean.” Though we don’t get to hear much more than that from Sean Don, there’s enough evidence to know that this untitled collaboration between he and his G.O.O.D Music labelmate is a banger.
This isn’t the first time that Big Sean and La Flame have joined forces on wax. The two have previously collaborated on Travis’ “Don’t Play” and “10 2 10 (Remix),” and recently contributed to French Montana’s “Man of My City.” The secret ingredient in this equation however, might be the track’s rumored producer – Metro Boomin. While young Metro has been credited with production work on Big Sean’s latest charting single, “Bounce Back” and Travis Scott favorites like “3500” and “Mamacita,” he’s never cooked up a collab between the two artists before.

FTC Policy Statement Outlines Criminal Antitrust Enforcement Efforts, Reinforces Interagency Priorities
Margaret E. Krawiec Tara L. Reinhart David P. Wales Zachary C. Siegler
On November 18, 2021, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) voted 4-0 to adopt a new policy statement outlining the commission’s plans to expand its criminal referral program in an effort to prevent and deter corporate crime stemming from consumer protection and criminal antitrust misconduct. The statement reaffirms the FTC’s commitment to referring criminal conduct uncovered during its investigations to the appropriate authorities, but ultimately does not contain any major initiatives beyond increasing cross-agency collaboration and transparency regarding the FTC’s criminal referral efforts.
A referral for criminal fraud can arise from the same conduct the FTC investigates under its civil consumer protection authority, or for conduct ancillary to an investigation, such as a referral for prosecution of false statements or of unrelated criminal activity uncovered in a conduct or merger investigation. The FTC’s statement highlights its efforts in investigating consumer protection misconduct and references recent antitrust successes generated by its criminal referral program, and then sets forth four actions the commission is taking to further improve the criminal referral program going forward. First, the FTC plans to continue supporting cross-agency efforts and enhancing “best efforts” to ensure that criminal law violations uncovered by the FTC are promptly referred to the appropriate criminal authorities. Second, the FTC will host regular meetings with criminal authorities around the U.S. to advance collaboration and identify additional “best practices” to further execute such collaboration. Third, the FTC will offer trainings for law enforcement officials on how to use its Consumer Sentinel database, which aggregates millions of consumer complaints about potential violations of law from more than 45 different platforms, including but not limited to the FTC’s own online reporting tool, other federal agencies and 25 state databases. Finally, and most importantly, the FTC explained that it would resume disclosing its criminal referral efforts by releasing regular public reports detailing, among other things, the number of referrals made, the nature of the alleged misconduct and, when possible, specifics regarding any criminal enforcement actions that result from the commission’s activities.
FTC Chair’s Statement Identifies Specific Criminal Enforcement Priorities
Taken together, the new initiatives announced in the policy statement do not signify a major shift in the FTC’s criminal referral efforts, but FTC Chair Lina Khan, in a statement on the issuance of the new policy statement, outlined three specific issues she plans to pursue in connection with the commission’s efforts. First, she intends to focus on coordination with criminal authorities in connection with wrongdoing by major corporations in light of (i) research indicating that larger firms are more likely to be repeat offenders and (ii) the fact that crimes by larger companies are more likely to cause greater harm given their larger size.
Second, Chair Khan questioned the deterrence effect of only pursuing penalties against corporations involved in misconduct, citing research that suggests that (i) corporations treat seemingly high financial penalties as a cost of doing business, and (ii) the stock prices of defendant corporations generally rise in response to public disclosure of a fine. She suggested that authorities’ pursuit of individual prosecutions of leading executives involved in corporate misconduct would be critical.
Finally, Chair Khan emphasized the importance of the commission referring all evidence of criminal activity identified during and FTC investigation, including situations where corporations misrepresent or conceal material information from FTC staff, which, as Chair Khan noted, had recently resulted in criminal indictments in at least two instances. Although the FTC policy statement itself did not announce any major policy shifts, Chair Khan’s statement suggests that, under her leadership, the commission will not only prioritize criminal referrals, but also reevaluate how to most effectively deter future corporate crime.
While FTC and the Department of Justice have different capabilities to investigate corporate crime, recent statements by their leadership make clear that both agencies will continue to prioritize corporate criminal enforcement and reassess how to prevent recidivism and promote deterrence most effectively. Given these recent statements, we expect both agencies to focus on identifying potential criminal misconduct during corporate antitrust investigations over the coming months, even when the investigations initially relate to potential civil misconduct.

In Britain, welfare amounts to over 30% of overall public spending. If we ignore the bail outs – and we should, because £1.2 trillion could have built schools on the moon – then that’s the single largest area of public expenditure; a provision to guarantee a basic standard of living for all those in financial need.

Another devil’s advocate exercise; this one weighing the pros and cons of a free press. Mark Lewis, speaking at today’s Leveson inquiry had far more intelligent, insightful things to say on the matter.

What does it mean to be “done” with a game? For some people, that means completing the campaign or hitting some milestone (in the case of multiplayer or open ended games). Others will keep playing after that because they want all of the game’s achievements! On the other end of the spectrum, you have people quitting out of a game because it’s too frustrating or similarly unfun to play. There are even players who can play a game, enjoy it thoroughly, and then hit a point where they feel they’ve enjoyed it enough and want to move on. There are plenty of reasons someone might stop a game before you’ve finished it, so last week, we wanted to know: how often do you quit before a game is finished?
This poll was actually pretty fascinating. For the longest time, I always assumed my habitual lack of game completion was relatively common. After all, who has the time to beat every massive RPG they start up? Well, as it turns out, other genres exist and maybe the crowd who typically picks up 80+ hour RPGs has a little more tenacity than I do. Fine. What I’m really curious about though is why there’s such a drop off of gamers who finish half or less of their games. It’s possible that with a video game, due to the interactive nature of the medium, there’s a higher level of commitment than there would be with a TV show. Now that Friends is on Netflix, you could start watching from season one all the way until the end, but you can also stop–quite happily–in the middle of season three. Rachel hasn’t even gotten off the plane yet, but you’re still satisfied. I think the difference might be that you as the viewer have so little influence onto the path that a television series, but end up being the primary catalyst of change/progress in a video game. Nothing happens without you. You are Commander Shepard and this is your favorite store on the citadel.
In terms of game design, this is important for us to recognize. On one hand, we need to do our best to make sure that those players who drop off midway through a campaign are still satisfied with their accomplishments. It is also important that we make sure the players who do stick around feel personally invested in the events of the game. It is important, when dealing with an interactive medium, to acknowledge the different levels of attachment a player might have and to work with them.
That’s going to be a long process, and along the way, our team will be thinking of every aspect to game development … which includes discussions on Steam’s Greenlight system, which you can weigh in on in this week’s poll! We’ll talk about it more next week, so be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to hear our thoughts on that service! We’ll be back in a couple days with our weekly Dev Update, but until then, have a great day! Thank you! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T13:04:35Z', 'url': 'https://gearsofeden.com/2017/04/10/fan-feedback-how-long-do-you-last/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

It’s 2015, and that means a brand new batch of Kickstarters to talk about. Sadly, through November and December, it was a wasteland of Kickstarters that were not interesting or all that well put-together. Luckily, it is January 2015, and fresh new batches of Kickstarters have caught my attention. I could have talked about the new Shadowrun: Hong Kong Kickstarter, but you can forget about that! It made its Kickstarter funding in just a few hours of its launch, and honestly, I need to play the first game so I am not fully familiar with the product. There is also this cool action RPG called Maestros of the Anthymn. It’s a very unique game that has a creative battle system. I will probably write something about this Kickstarter in the future. I was in the mood for a simple, but entertaining racer that captured the essence of Daytona U.S.A, 90s Arcade Racer, and the Outrun franchise. Well, even though these guys just passed their funding goal with flying colors, I am still going to talk about Drift Stage!
Drift Stage has no story. You just pick a car, drift, drive, and make sure to finish first in this very arcade-inspired racing game. The main gimmick of this racing game is, as the name suggests, an arcade racer that leans on the tactical use of drifting. Do you drift and save yourself a few seconds? Or do you just keep on pushing and try to stay in first and stay in the safe lane? The game will also have multiple modes including Single Race, Time Trail, Infinite Drift, Daily Challenges, Career Mode, Workshop to customize your cars, and luckily, offline and local multiplayer. You will definitely have a lot of reasons to replay through the game.
I love the graphics for this game. Sure, it is a bunch of neon and sea foam colors, but that’s what makes it unique. It reminds me of the graphical limitations from games like the original King’s Quests and Space Quest games before they had nicer looking 16-bit graphics. All those bright pinks, oranges, yellows, greens, and blues make this game stand out among a lot of games on Kickstarter. The person composing the music is named Hugh Myrone, and he captures the high energy spirit of arcade racers with the music. While someone could argue that the music can be a bit too energetic, I think it fits perfectly. When I play a racing game, I want to have a smile on my face, have that spirit to keep racing, and feel like an explosion of energy after finishing in first.
So, do I have any concerns or suggestions about this game? While I knew I was playing a demo that was in its alpha state, I felt like the controls could have been set up differently. To test out if my thoughts were on track, I put in my Wii U copy of Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing Transformed, and I found out something that the developers should think about, have only one button committed to drifting. While I was playing All Stars Racing Transformed, I found the controls and driving to be smoother since I didn’t have to focus on timing the two different button presses on my Xbox 360 controller. Again, I know the demo was in an alpha state and won’t be the final product, but racing games, like platformers, live and die by their tight controls. If I can’t drift at the drop of a dime due to clunky controls, then the satisfaction of arcade-style racing is ruined. I also hope there is enough variety in the levels. It’s cool that they added a car customization feature, but it would also be cool to add in a stretch goal of a simple, but effective level creator. I also hope that if there are different sets of difficulty, that the game doesn’t punish you for making one mistake, which costs you the race, or keeps the rest of the game locked behind the harder difficulties. I really hate it when racing games do that, where just one little screw-up costs you the game. I also don’t care for content to be locked behind the harder difficulties, and due to said harder difficulty, makes it almost unfair to the player to get past unless you have enough luck to win the perfect race. It doesn’t make me want to try out the harder settings. Racing games have done this for a while now, where they lock out parts of the game to the really cheap or tedious difficulty modes because without that difficulty, the game would be short. I would rather have a game be fun and short than drawn out by difficulty that makes the game less fun.
Overall, Drift Stage is a fantastic Kickstarter to start out 2015 with. Bright colorful graphics, simple, but incredibly satisfying gameplay, and you even get to try out a demo of the game. Just a heads-up, the demo, like I mentioned is in alpha state so don’t expect this to be what the final product will end up like. I am not really surprised, but Drift Stage has reached its funding goal in just a few days, and might have stretch goals set up in the near future. If you love old-school arcade racing games like Outrun, then you should definitely back this Kickstarter. Plus, the entry fee for a free copy is only $10, which for this kind of game is a steal. Congrats to Super Systems Softwares, Drift Stage gets my official Kickstarter Shout-out!

ENDESGA Studios: Christmas Wishes to all!
NIKRA is going very well, despite the problems I'm encountering. Hopefully it's fine with you guys that I'm not updating this blog as much as I used to. It's just that. not much is going on here, it's mostly just slow work on the story and core features of the game.
I have designed a few creatures you will encounter during your adventures, most of them hide in strange ways.
Today I finished the controls tutorial at the beginning of the game, and now I'm just polishing a few things.
COR has been going very well (as you may have read), and I can't wait to see the results in 13 days when Ludum Dare finishes.
Hopefully everyone is having a relaxing and fun holidays! | {'timestamp': '2019-04-26T02:10:13Z', 'url': 'http://endesga.blogspot.com/2013/12/christmas-wishes-to-all.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
When your vehicle experiences engine trouble, your first reaction may be to buy a new vehicle. However, a new car purchase may not be the best choice for you. If your vehicle is in relatively good shape, the Engine Rebuilders Council (ERC) suggests looking into a remanufactured/rebuilt engine. Install a remanufactured/rebuilt engine will extend the life of your current vehicle. Let Western Engine Supply and their over 25 years of experience help you with the removing and replacing (R&R) of your current vehicles engine and get you back on the road. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T20:46:35Z', 'url': 'https://westernenginesupply.com/installation.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
Yet another monolith has appeared on a beach in England
By Rachel Thompson 2020-12-07 12:34:46 UTC
Another day, another monolith to send the internet into a spin.
This time, one of these perplexing, shiny metal objects has washed up (or, rather, been artfully planted) on the shores of the Isle of Wight, UK.
Yes, the destination everyone at your primary school went on their summer holidays (if you grew up in England) is now home to a mon(olith)umental discovery. The mirrored monolith was discovered on Compton Beach on the island off the south coast of England on Sunday.
Strange monolith on Compton Beach today. Any ideas @iwcponline @iwightradio @VisitIOW ?! #IsleofWight pic.twitter.com/mvJ5Prt7GN
— Lee Peckham (@WightLawyer) December 6, 2020
To recap on all the monolith happenings, it all kicked off when a metal object was inexplicably discovered in Utah during a state officials' sheep counting mission late November.
Since the appearance of the first monolith (and its subsequent removal), several others have shown up in various locations, including one in Romania (though it's unclear if this one is a copycat), a third sculpture in Atascadero, California, and a fourth sculpture outside of Joshua Tree National Park, California.
SEE ALSO: Stephen Colbert has an intense theory about the purpose of the monoliths
A community of artists known as The Most Famous Artist has kind of, sort of claimed credit for some but not all of the monoliths, posting photos and videos to social media of the structures in situ and plans for their design, and commenting on other artist's posts about the structures. To add more confusion and anonymity to this already rather puzzling situation, the group has opted for a rather evasive method of responding to queries. When Mashable's Rachel Kraus spoke to The Most Famous Artist and asked if the Romanian sculpture was connected to the Utahn and Californian sculptures, the founder of the group, Matty Mo, responded saying, "I only had three spots for photos on my site," — this third monolith-related post on the group's website, and also posted to their Instagram page, shows an object ready for transit without an intended location specified. Then the Joshua Tree monolith showed up. Plus, the artists have promoted a link where anyone can apparently buy the sculptures for $45,000 a piece.
With regard to the monolith on the Isle of Wight, the collective released a statement of sorts on its Instagram page. Asked by a reporter if they're behind the UK monolith, The Most Famous Artist responded stating, "The monolith is out of my control at this point. Godspeed to all the aliens working hard around the globe to propagate the myth."
Well, I think I speak for everyone when I say: K, then.

The USCCB’s Divine Worship Secretariat has announced that the third edition of the Misal Romano for use in the (arch)dioceses of the United States has received recognitio from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. This book has been long awaited by many pastors and others in the Archdiocese who serve Spanish-speaking congregations. The revised Misal is currently being reviewed for grammar and punctuation consistencies, and it is anticipated that publication and implementation dates will be announced in the forthcoming months. The Liturgy Office plans to sponsor a workshop on the revised Misal at the time of its publication.

Big Ten Reverses Decision, Allows Football to Play This Season
Ryan O'Bryan Published: September 16, 2020
In a surprising turn of events, Big Ten football teams, which includes Indiana and Purdue, will suit up and play games this year after being told the season would be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in early August.
The conference announced on Tuesday that all 14 university presidents voted unanimously in favor of letting the teams play a shortened schedule that will begin the weekend of October 23rd and 24th. Why the change of heart? According to the official statement from the conference, the presidents felt comfortable allowing play to resume after learning of new testing procedures, contact tracing, and quarantine policies developed by medical sub-committee of the Big Ten Return to Competition Task Force.
You can see the full details of those procedures in the conference's statement, but I'll give you the Cliff Notes version. Essentially anyone and everyone that is on field for either practices, games, or both will undergo daily testing. If someone tests positive, they will need quarantine away from the rest of the team. However, it will be for a minimum of 21 days instead of the standard 14 before they can return to competition. The reason for that being that all student-athletes who test positive will then undergo "comprehensive cardiac testing." The data obtained from that testing will go into a database designed to "answer many of the unknowns regarding the cardiac manifestations in COVID-19 positive elite athletes."
As for the schedule, according to Adam Rittenberg and Heather Dinich at ESPN.com, each team will play eight games, four at home, four on the road. Six of those games will be against teams within the same division (the conference is divided into East and West divisions, each with seven teams), while the other two games will be cross-division games.
Using Indiana as an example, they will play Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State, Maryland, and Rutgers as their six division games. Their two cross-division games will be against some combination of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska, and Northwestern.
With Indiana and Purdue being in different divisions, it's certainly possible the annual Old Oaken Bucket game won't be played this season. If that's the case, it will be the first time the two teams haven't played each other in a season since 1919 (if Wikipedia is to be believed).
The exact schedule for each team hasn't been released yet, but according to the same ESPN article, they are expected to be released later this week. I would hope the schedule makers would honor the tradition of the rivalry and make sure the two teams meet at some point over the course of the shortened season, even if it's not the final game of the regular season as it has been for a number of years.
Regardless of whether it happens or not, I imagine a majority of the players and coaches on both teams are thrilled they get to play period.

How to Survive the F...
How to Survive the Frenzy for Automation Talent
Written by: Nathaniel Chapman
You don’t need to be a scientist or an analyst at the World Economic Forum to understand that the way we manufacture products is changing daily, and it’s changing faster than anyone thought possible.
The manufacturing industry has been innovating and evolving constantly over the last 100 years with each industrial revolution catapulting our ability to produce things faster, cheaper and at a higher quality. However, we are now in uncharted territory with innovation happening at varying levels globally at an exponential rate. As a direct effect, we are now seeing the creation of new roles that have never existed before.
Last year the OECD found that “the tasks that AI and robots cannot do are shrinking rapidly.” The report went on to say that 14% of jobs across 32 countries are “highly vulnerable” to automation and close to one in two jobs are likely to be influenced with manufacturing businesses most affected. Companies that embrace this change and drive innovation will continue to not only survive but thrive in what is arguably one of the most competitive free markets that has ever existed.
Understanding this at a manufacturing site level and making plans to ensure there is not a lack of essential talent is crucial for both the site General Manager and for site engineering leads. The bottom line is that by automating or improving the current systems within a production facility, you can increase production, reduce cycle times, improve quality, reduce manufacturing lead times and create a safer workplace while continuing to become more competitive. However the talent to enhance, implement and maintain these systems has never been harder to attract. Consumer demand is driving vast industry expansion across all sectors and with only a limited number of individuals entering the job market with an education and experience in automation, the gap continues to widen. Combined with the fact that most manufacturing facilities are less than ideally located (located in cheaper real estate areas), hiring managers and talent acquisition teams are not only finding a lack of talent but a much more expensive talent market.
After lowering their corporate tax rates in 2003 to 12.5%, Ireland opened its doors to businesses around the world becoming an optimal location for pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies to set up shop. Not only did they suddenly have a greater geographical proximity to mainland Europe than before, but they also had access to international shipping across the Atlantic, taking advantage of the lucrative markets in North America. Five of the worlds eight top selling drugs are now produced in Ireland, making it the world’s largest net exporter of pharmaceuticals globally. With the rise in manufacturing sites and competition, automation specialists took advantage of the talent shortage in Ireland. Simple supply and demand principles created by the economical expansion allowed many professionals to demand and achieve $100+ hour contract rates transforming it into a sellers market.
Looking ahead, companies should be investing in their existing workforce and supporting them in learning new automation skills by actively hiring outside trainers or by allowing managers and experts to have more time off the manufacturing floor to provide essential programmes to their teams. Employers need to recognise that the role of mechanics and engineers are changing with the introduction of new technology and therefore re-skilling should be focused on now before new innovations are implemented, rather than during the installation of a new system.
Engineering teams should be heavy with automation talent and hiring proactively rather than reactively. Building pipelines of inactive/ passive candidates and understanding just how many people have the skill set they need. This way, you know the size and constraints of the talent market in your location or country but also you can be ready to implement a talent sourcing strategy at just a moments notice. That means investing in research and partnering with external talent partners now, who can slowly build that research and those networks on your behalf.
An alternative is that you give in to the contract engineers that have the level of experience you need and pay €100+ hourly rates. You will witness your own budget exhausting €150,000 – €250,000+ (per person) a year on talent and knowledge that you could lose at a moments notice. The knowledge that they gain and grow of your IT systems, PLCs, and equipment goes with them to their next contract with the competition for this talent increasing substantially over the last few years. They too are becoming scarce and well rewarded to stay within existing projects. The prices requested by interim automation talent to change contracts has continued to climb over the last 5 years.
Automation engineers are your front line team to embrace the ever evolving systems at your manufacturing site and they will continue to acquire additional responsibilities as more processes and systems move from personnel to automation. The more of your staff that you can acquire on permanent basis and retain within your existing teams is crucial to the long term strategy for any site, before becoming dependent on contractors and external engineering firms.
What are you seeing in the market? What else have you done to help prevent such shortages in perm talent? (across automation or elsewhere!)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered hidden weapons discovered
COD fans have been digging into the game files of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and discovered there are more weapons hidden away.
Numerous weapons have bene discovered, some of which have been seen before in CoD but there is a new weapon called the Kamchatka shotgun. There’s a shovel too which comes with different variant names such as Blade, Bottle, and Paddle.
The community is now wondering why these weapons are in the game files and some are concerned that Activision could be priming DLC or microtransactions. There are also references in the code to a weapon dealer which has set alarm bells ringing over the prospect of microtransactions.
The gallery below shows some of the weapons as they appear in-game. There were videos but Activision ordered they be taken down on Youtube.
MWR All Hidden Weapons
It’s likely these discoveries are remnants of ideas that were scrapped in development but you never know with Activision. If they can squeeze more cash out of the player base they will try.
Thanks Reddit.

New Delhi: Private sector Kotak Mahindra Bank on Thursday said its shareholders have approved raising up to Rs 65,000 crore to fund business expansion.
The decision to this effect was taken in the Annual General Meeting held on Thursday in Mumbai, the bank said in a filing to BSE. Shareholders of the bank gave approval to borrow in excess of the paid up capital and free reserves but not exceeding Rs 60,000 crore, Kotak Mahindra Bank said.
Besides, they also approved the proposal to issue unsecured, redeemable non-convertible debentures or bonds for an amount up to Rs 5,000 crore. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-23T15:58:18Z', 'url': 'https://www.firstpost.com/business/kotak-mahindra-bank-to-raise-rs-65000-crore-for-expansion-3839351.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
Prior restraint just a form of censorship
Posted by Thomas Mitchell | Jun 12, 2014 | Editorials, Top Stories | 0
“Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse in a free and open encounter?”
― John Milton, Areopagitica
It is called prior restraint.
But that doesn’t seem to stop Nevada judges.
This past Friday, the last day of early voting before Tuesday’s primary election, a Reno judge ordered state Senate candidate Gary Schmidt to stop running a television ad that accused his Republican primary opponent, incumbent Ben Kieckhefer, of being a supporter of Harry Reid in the 2010 election, according to press accounts.
Now, that is probably libel per se, if anyone could prove it is not true, but Kieckhefer does have close ties to a number of those infamous Republicans for Reid.
In granting Kieckhefer a preliminary injunction, Judge Patrick Flanagan, wrote, “Ben Kieckhefer is likely to suffer irreparable injury to his career and reputation from defendant’s television advertisements.” Being associated with our senior U.S. senator can do that.
But, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the political kitchen.
“It is important that at some point, when something is blatantly false, that it should not be tolerated,” the Reno Gazette-Journal quoted Kieckhefer, a former reporter for the paper, as saying. “I am a staunch defender of the first amendment (Yes, the paper published it lower case). I am a former journalist and I believe in it. But it is not universal and it should not protect people’s ability to just make something up.”
Kieckhefer and the judge are both wrong.
Prior restraint is the essence of censorship, which is anathema to the First Amendment right to free speech and press. Yes, even if it is later proven to be utterly false.
Kieckhefer is free to stand up in public and call Schmidt a liar. He can also sue Schmidt for libel. But stopping him from saying whatever he wishes in the middle of an election campaign is unjustifiable, uncalled for and unnecessary. Politicians should be free to lie about their opponents and get caught.
Justice Warren Burger once wrote in a Supreme Court case that “prior restraints on speech and publication are the most serious and the least tolerable infringement on First Amendment rights. A criminal penalty or a judgment in a defamation case is subject to the whole panoply of protections afforded by deferring the impact of the judgment until all avenues of appellate review have been exhausted. Only after judgment has become final, correct or otherwise, does the law’s sanction become fully operative.
“A prior restraint, by contrast and by definition, has an immediate and irreversible sanction. If it can be said that a threat of criminal or civil sanctions after publication ‘chills’ speech, prior restraint ‘freezes’ it at least for the time.”
The allegation against Kieckhefer was frozen out of the final days of the election, no matter its merit or lack thereof.
Schmidt told the Reno paper that the circumstantial evidence against Kieckhefer is that he has been close to both the late state Sen. Bill Raggio and Reno Mayor Bob Cashell, both of whom supported Reid against Republican Sharron Angle.
“And the biggest secondary evidence I have — because we re-researched this again — is this: There is nothing on the record anywhere where he (Kieckhefer) gave any ounce of support or endorsement to Sharron Angle. So what did he do, vote for the Green Party candidate?” the Reno paper quoted Schmidt.
That is why there is a First Amendment — to let the truth arise from the exchange of allegations and suspicions and not have some judge deny the voters the right to hear what the candidates have to say that reveal their characters and probity or lack thereof.
The judge is stealing information from the voters and usurping their right to determine the outcome of the election.
What one candidate says about another says more about that person than it says
about his opponent. If we assume voters are too stupid to figure it out democracy is a failed experiment and a farce. — TM

Tigers edged 24-20 by Vols for 5th straight loss
By Eric BlumColumbia Daily Tribune
Nov 23, 2019 at 10:25 PM Nov 24, 2019 at 2:57 AM
The Missouri offense came back to life in spurts against Tennessee on Saturday, but it wasn't enough.
Volunteers quarterback Jarrett Guarantano picked apart the Tigers' depleted secondary for 415 passing yards, and three different Tennessee wide receivers eclipsed the 100-yard mark as Missouri played without starting cornerbacks DeMarkus Acy and Jarvis Ware for a majority of the game due to injuries.
The Volunteers’ aerial attack took advantage and propelled Tennessee to a 24-20 Southeastern Conference victory over Missouri on senior night at Faurot Field.
“They battled, they competed, they fought. We came up short and I hate it,” Missouri head coach Barry Odom said.
“It sucks,” Missouri offensive lineman Trystan Colon-Castillo said. “It (expletive) sucks.”
Missouri slimmed its deficit to four points when Tucker McCann made a 33-yard field goal with 8:27 remaining.
After making a defensive stop, MU punted on its next possession with less than four minutes on the clock. It never got the ball back.
The Tigers faced a third-and-3 on that drive, only to suffer a two-yard loss on a designed quarterback draw with Kelly Bryant tackled on a Tennessee cornerback blitz.
Bryant finished the game with 16 completions on 28 pass attempts for 166 yards and a touchdown. Bryant managed 18 rushing yards, as mobility issues surfaced again because of lingering injuries.
“It’s late in the season,” Bryant said. “Everybody’s pretty much beat up and sore.”
“He’s not 100%,” Odom added of Bryant. “How healthy is he? I don't know what a percentage would be, but not very. He is such a competitor and he's just battling.”
Bryant said he managed the frigid temperatures by staying on a stationary bike when not on the field. It doubled as a way to make sure his hamstring didn’t get sore. The Clemson transfer missed the Georgia loss because of that ailment.
“Once he gets out in the open field, you don’t ever see the burst, and I hate it because it’s not who he is,” Odom said of Bryant. “He's doing everything he can to battle and get prepared and get ready. Nobody ever said injuries were going to be fair. It's part of the game, unfortunately.”
The slide continues for the Tigers, as their losing streak reaches five games with a 5-6 record.
The last chance for Missouri to become bowl-eligible comes on a short week, on the road Friday against Arkansas in Little Rock. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
Tennessee won its fourth straight game and improves to 6-5.
Guarantano’s passing yardage was the most given up by Missouri since 572 yards to Purdue’s David Blough last September.
“I think it’s tough for anyone that has been in a position where they pour a lot into something,” Missouri wide receiver Barrett Banister said of the losing streak. “(Missouri wide receivers) coach Garrick (McGee) said this quote: ‘If you’re passionate about something, it's not easy to control your emotions.’ I think that’s just kind of how it feels right now.
“I think there's a lot of frustration. We’ve poured a lot into this and we’re passionate about what we do. It’s tough. No one wrote up the script this way. You've got to adapt, you've got to adjust, and we've got a game in five days that we've got to go and play our guts out. We got to get to win No. 6, and that’s the bottom line.”
Running back Tyler Badie scored both Missouri touchdowns on passing plays. The Tigers’ first came in the second quarter, breaking a streak of 33 straight possessions without a touchdown.
The latter didn’t land in Badie’s hands from a Bryant pass. Micah Wilson, who switched after last season from quarterback to wide receiver, checked into the game as a receiver.
He first caught a backwards pass from Bryant and then tossed the ball to a wide-open Badie for a 15-yard score. It was Wilson’s first career touchdown pass.
Even with the originality of Missouri’s play-calling, including a successful fake punt, it couldn’t find enough of a rhythm to earn a victory in its home finale.
“After a loss like that, it's tough,” Bryant said. “It’s emotions everywhere. Everyone's down. You have to find ways to pick yourself up. It’s tough right now for us. We've kind of got in a little hole where we keep getting knocked down.”
The Volunteers frequently picked on Missouri backup cornerback Christian Holmes, who committed three pass interference penalties in the loss.
Missouri’s Johnathon Johnson and Albert Okwuegbunam also missed the game with injuries. Odom said after the game he expects Okwuegbunam will be back against the 2-9 Razorbacks.
The Tigers blocked two kicks in a game for the first time since facing Connecticut in 2015, but they couldn’t take advantage to buck their losing trend.
Missouri will have one final opportunity for its sixth win of the season — 48 days after win No. 5 on Oct. 12 against Mississippi.
“I feel like we've got a lot of fight left,” Colon-Castillo said. “I feel like everybody probably counted us out, thinking that we're a bunch of quitters and all this stuff, but that's not us, that's not who coach Odom made us to be. That’s not what we're going to do.”
Even with their latest loss, the Tigers continue to stick by Odom, whose job security has recently faced a firestorm of speculation.
"Obviously things haven’t gone the way we’ve planned this year, but there’s no other person I’d rather have lead this program,” Banister said of Odom. “He’s the man for the job. ... We all believe in him and he’s going to get this program to where it needs to go.”

Brakes gears up for safer city deliveries with fuel-efficient Mercedes-Benz Econic
Thursday 4th October 2018
The UK’s leading supplier of food to the catering industry is now servicing customers in central London with the first fridge-bodied Mercedes-Benz Econic to feature the manufacturer’s own automated manual transmission.
Brakes’ low-entry 18-tonner is powered by a high-torque, 7.7-litre straight-six engine which generates 220 kW (299 hp) and drives through a 12-speed Mercedes PowerShift 3 system.
Although well proven in other models bearing the three-pointed star, Mercedes PowerShift was not previously available on Econic. Its recent introduction reflects the truck’s increasing appeal to safety-conscious operators working across a broad range of distribution-related applications, and their requirement for a more fuel-efficient alternative to the established, six-speed Allison automatic which is so well-suited to stop-start waste collection duties.
Working from the company’s Premier Park distribution centre in west London, Brakes’ Econic 1830L has an insulated body by Solomon Commercials, of Rossendale, Lancashire, and is making an average of 20 deliveries each day to hotels, restaurants, pubs and other establishments in the heart of the capital.
Brakes’ Fleet & MHE (Manual Handling Equipment) Manager Paul Vernon explained: “The Allison gearbox was not appropriate for an operation like ours, but we have high hopes for the Mercedes PowerShift system. We’ve already seen some very encouraging fuel returns. The Econic is averaging 10 mpg, which is on a par with the 18-tonne Mercedes-Benz Antos trucks we operate from the same location.”
Like all Econics, Brakes’ vehicle is fully air-suspended and has a deep, panoramic windscreen and full-height, glazed passenger door, as well as the low seating position which allows drivers to make eye contact with vulnerable road users at junctions and in traffic.
Mr Vernon continued: “The Econic’s cab affords drivers great all-round visibility, which may help to make the roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians. Its easy cross-cab access also enhances safety for our own drivers, because rather than stepping down into the traffic when they exit the vehicle, they can always do so on the pavement side.”
The Econic is additionally fitted with a full complement of proximity sensors and recordable cameras, as well as an in-cab CCTV system for live streaming, a standard feature on the operator’s trucks for more than a decade.
Environmental compatibility was also a priority. Like other vehicles based at Premier Park, the Econic runs on Shell GTL (gas to liquid) Fuel, a ‘paraffinic diesel’ which does not require any engine modifications. According to independent research from one of the UK’s leading vehicle testing organisations, this fuel offers significant reductions in NOx and particulate emissions compared to a standard Euro VI truck, while only rarely do catalytic converters require regeneration.
Carrier Transicold’s PIEK-compliant ICELAND Twincool refrigeration unit runs entirely on hydro-electric power generated by the Econic’s own engine. This PTO-driven multi-temperature system provides optimum performance, even at idle speeds. It helps to reduce the vehicle’s environmental impact by cutting emissions and improving fuel efficiency, while also reducing maintenance costs.
As with all new trucks commissioned by Brakes since 2013, the Econic’s refrigeration unit is underslung, rather then mounted above the cab roof in the conventional way. This measure also contributes to safety by eliminating the need for technicians to work at height when servicing fridges.
Brakes operates approximately 1,500 temperature-controlled trucks, most of them 18-tonners, and 300 vans from a network of 20 depots nationwide. Mercedes-Benz vehicles supplied by Dealer Group Rygor Commercials account for roughly half of the total fleet, and include 50 Antos 18-tonners which entered service last year.
Mr Vernon added: “We back our Mercedes-Benz trucks with Service Contracts so we know what we’ll be paying over the life of the vehicle. The impressive longevity of the product means those whole-life costs are highly attractive.
“As for the Dealer, I’ve been working with Rygor for 12 years now and am very pleased with the support they give us. Their own back-up is very good, and they’ll always go the extra mile if we need them to do so, while they also co-ordinate all of the Service Contracts for us.”
Rygor Commercials Fleet Truck Sales Specialist Chris Carter commented: “It is only appropriate that as an acknowledged leader in its sector Brakes is pioneering the development of safer, more environmentally-friendly truck technologies.
“Continued concerns about the protection of vulnerable road users and the introduction next year of an Ultra Low Emission Zone in London mean the momentum towards more sustainable transport solutions will continue to gather pace. At Rygor, we have the right products, the right facilities and the right people to help our customers operate in a compliant manner, while also maximising efficiency.” | {"pred_label": "__label__wiki", "pred_label_prob": 0.6894444823265076, "wiki_prob": 0.6894444823265076, "source": "cc/2019-30/en_head_0041.json.gz/line816595"} |

Power Source: The Hart Legacy
by adoucette January 27, 2014
written by adoucette January 27, 2014
Dr. Thomas Hart is remembered for beginning a legacy that continues to thrive in Washington.
By Adoria Doucette
Dr. Thomas Hart is flanked by his son and grandson, Thomas Hart Jr. and Thomas Hart III. (Photo courtesy Thomas Hart Jr.)
Important and influential American families are the bedrock of our great Republic, and Power Source is proud to highlight one such family: the Hart’s. For over half a century, this family has been a part of the heart and soul of business and culture in our capital city, and though the patriarch of the family, Thomas Hart Sr., passed away a little over a year ago, his proud legacy lives on today through his son and grandson.
The scion of the Hart family, Dr. Hart was trained by the U.S. Army to be a master of physical fitness during WWII. After completing his undergraduate education at Hampton University, he completed his masters at the University of Illinois, followed by a Doctorate in Education from NYU. Soon after, he came to the nations capital with every intention of leaving a lasting mark of excellence within his field.
Howard University was firmly established as the intellectual capital of African American life and Dr. Hart was recruited by Howard to design and implement an innovative physical education program. Dr. Hart assumed academic responsibility as a professor of health and physical education, and applied his expertise in an unprecedented manner as a successful head varsity coach of basketball, golf, track and field, swimming and wrestling.
The staff of U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles took note of Dr. Hart’s impeccable education, teaching credentials, and success as a physical education leader and made arrangements with the government of Ghana for Dr. Hart to coach the newly independent nation’s olympic track and field team in Rome during the 1960 Olympics. This was but one example of Dr. Hart utilizing his specialization to build bridges to new cultures. Over the following five decades Dr. Hart traveled the world lending his gravitas to dozens of organizations and initiatives as an honored and celebrated American for his contributions to community and civic affairs and was inducted to four prestigious hall of fames. His awards, accolades, and leadership positions are too many to count, but some of the most influential roles he played include founding corporate sponsor of the Congressional Black Caucus, and member on the board of directors at both the University of the District of Columbia and the Washington DC YMCA.
Beyond his own family, the legacy of Dr. Hart lives on every year at Camp Hart, a nonprofit organization that teaches golf to inner city youth. This organization was founded by Dr. Hart at the beginning of his career in 1948, which allowed hundreds of children access to the sport of golf. It was for this accomplishment that Dr. Hart was inducted into the African American Golfers Hall of Fame in 2006.

Thomas Hart Jr. has dutifully continued the legacy of his father as one of the most preeminent legal minds in the capital, always at the forefront of issues critical to to the expansion of our national identity. Thomas Jr. was one of the legal minds that helped draft the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which changed the entire paradigm of global communications and ushered in the age of the internet and fiber optic communications. This accomplishment led Mr. Hart to become Vice Chairman of the Telecommunications Development Fund. In recent years, Mr. Hart has been a key player in the next great paradigm shift of American commerce and transportation. He has become one of the leading experts in the world on light rail development, testifying four times in Congress before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee within his capacity as General Counsel of the US High Speed Rail Association.
Since the first MEAC wrestling championship was secured by Howard University through Dr. Hart’s stewardship in 1951, a legacy of athletic triumph was established that has not been broken. Thomas Jr. won championships in cross country and golf at Wilson High School in 1973. Thomas Hart III, Dr. Hart’s grandson, set numerous records as an elite runner at the prestigious Georgetown Day School prior to entering and excelling academically at Northeastern University.
Thomas III now carries on the legacy of his grandfather and father as an emerging real estate entrepreneur, while playing a prominent role in mobilizing political and civic events through a social organization known as the Overachievers. The youngest Hart has been raised with privilege and groomed for success, and his recent actions and accomplishments in Washington, D.C. have solidified that his family’s strengths are worthy of applause and admiration.

CHNUK: Integrated platforms from science to policy in response to antibacterial resistance
Combating Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in China requires a multi-pronged approach that includes the need for new effective antimicrobials.
Traditionally, China has been a major producer of generic antibiotics rather than a developer, but times are changing with new government policies that are beginning to help drive innovation in drug discovery. This includes the structured revitalization of Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM), which, along with other natural products are known to possess antibacterial activities. It is very clear that effective antimicrobials, both those as monotherapy or in combination therapy, are those that hit multiple targets. Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) are by nature combinatorial in their activities and present a golden opportunity for China to take a strategic lead in the development of new effective therapeutics to combat AMR in China.
Here we bring together interdisciplinary teams to deliver state of the art scientific advances and policy expertise across the UK and China; that will help train the next generation of researchers, develop innovative research platforms, and an environment from which (given the support and incentives) antibiotic R&D in China could grow and flourish into a new ‘golden age’ of discovery. This is potentially achievable, and we will determine the critical pathways and drivers that will influence and enable the discovery, development and delivery of new antibiotics in China.
Six technology, policy, and training platforms provide the framework and foundation for future delivery, and a pipeline for China UK exchange and interaction. 1. Target validation and mechanisms. 2. Assays and screening. 3. Lead development 4. Industry translation 5. Policy. 6. Training and Exchange. Exchange will be an important component of the hub enabling interchange of up to 15-20 researchers into the UK or China. This includes cultural orientation, crash course language training and a broad AMR training program at Sheffield for incoming China researchers, plus specialist research training for up to 12 months at hub partners. Our focus will be on ‘old’ and ‘new’ targets encompassing our breadth of existing expertise in essential processes, virulence and resistance mechanisms. Our targets will be those within multi-drug resistance in ‘ESKAPE’ and WHO priority bacteria including Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella sp. and Staphylococcus aureus. These pathogens are responsible for life-threatening infections in most Chinese hospitals and communities. New topical, gastric and systemic therapeutic interventions are urgently required to reduce transmission and disease.
This CHN UK hub of activity is built from strong university and institute partnerships across Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Shanghai Institue Materia Medica (SIMM), Jilin, Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, Sheffield, Oxford, Peking, Warwick, Xiamen. These are cornerstoned by national infrastructure support in the UK from the Diamond Light Source synchrotron, Protein Production UK (PPUK) and the Research Complex at Harwell (RCaH), and in China by the Shanghai Synchrotron (SINAP) and national compound collection at SIMM. Furthermore, these will be supported by an international panel of experts from academia and industry. This expertise includes individuals with more than 250 years combined experience in antibiotic discovery, the de novo establishment of a drug discovery institute (H3D) in South Africa, and global AMR industry and policy perspectives from PwC (with significant China expertise) and The Economist Group, both of whom are heavily committed to help encourage the development of global AMR solutions. The Economist Group have already planned a major international AMR workshop (London, Jan 2019) that we will engage with.
A senior management group supported by English and Chinese speaking administrators in Warwick and Sheffield will enable effective program delivery.

Now is a great time to find bewitching sights in the woods of Northern Virginia. Here’s evidence: Witch “hats” on native Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) leaves.
The conical black “hats” are the chemical reaction of the Witch hazel leaf to an aphid, Hormaphis hamamelidis, that disturbs the leaf surface with its ovipositor, leaving behind a tiny egg. The leaf surface reacts to the injury by building a pointy, black gall of sooty mold with a wide brim over the spot, where the ovum overwinters before emerging in its new form by chewing through the bottom of the leaf. Clever insect, no? Smart leaf, right? Symbiosis! It could be magic, but that’s nature for you—perpetually amazing, clever, and resilient.
Native Witch hazel is flowering now under its bright yellow leaves with witch hat galls in a woods near you. The leaves will be at eye-level, tinged with black, and found on woodland edges, often in areas near water.
Several witch “hats” are atop the bright yellow leaves of Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) in lowland woods. The native plant hides its narrow flower petals under its leaves.
Witch hazel from any but native-plant purveyors that you might plant in your yard for winter flowers may not be nearly as entertaining as the true native, which puts on its whole show right now: bright leaves, witchy galls, and long-lasting twisted, four-petaled flowers all at once. Don’t miss it!
Where to find it: Native woodlands in lower areas, not hilltops. This one pictured and several more like it were spotted a week ago in Glen Carlyn Park, parking lot at 401 S. Harrison St., Arlington. Walk down the hill in either direction. They’re near the bottom, Four Mile Run, and the W&OD Trail. On the way down or up, admire the many oaks, tall tulip trees, and hickories. The hickories will still have their fat golden leaflets. And for the straight scoop on the long history of Witch hazel, trust Capital Naturalist Alonso Abugattas.

AIAA Announces 2018 Winners for Outstanding Educators and Literary Excellence in Aerospace Awards
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) recently honored recipients of the 2018 Educator Awards presented to several faculty, including rotorcraft and adaptive structures expert Farhan Gandhi, the Rosalind and John J. Redfern Jr. ’33 Professor of Engineering. The awards were presented during the fifth annual AIAA Science and Technology Forum and Exposition (AIAA SciTech Forum), the world’s largest event for aerospace research, development, and technology, held in January at the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, Florida.
During the AIAA SciTech Forum, Gandhi, an innovative researcher in the field of rotary-wing aircraft who is recognized internationally as a leader in morphing and active rotors, and adaptive cellular structures, was awarded the AIAA Faculty Advisor Award for reviving the AIAA RPI Student Branch; facilitating seminars, astronaut visits, company tours, and conference participation; and providing students with opportunity, exposure, and a sense of community through the association with AIAA.
According to AIAA, the Faculty Advisor Award is presented to the officially recognized faculty adviser of a chartered AIAA Student Branch who, in the opinion of student branch members and the AIAA Student Activities Committee, has made outstanding contributions as a student branch faculty adviser, as evidenced by the record of his or her student branch in local, regional, and national activities.
“Rensselaer has a rich and important legacy in aerospace engineering, and I have been immensely pleased to join as a faculty member in the School of Engineering,” said Gandhi, who is a tenured full professor in the Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering.
Gandhi joined Rensselaer in 2012 from Pennsylvania State University, where he served as professor of aerospace engineering and deputy director of the Penn State Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence. In his 17 years at Penn State, he served as adviser to 17 doctoral students and 32 master’s degree students.
At Rensselaer, Gandhi introduced the new undergraduate course Smart and Adaptive Structures. Recently, he has also offered undergraduate and graduate courses in Multi-rotor Aerial Vehicles.
Gandhi is a prolific researcher. His rotorcraft research programs explore new methods for actively and passively changing the shape of helicopter blades, toward the goal of increasing the capabilities and adaptability of the aircraft, and making them more fuel efficient. For example, chord extension—or widening the blades—would enable helicopters to fly in high-altitude, high-gross-weight, and high-speed conditions, while retraction would reduce profile drag in more benign flight conditions. He has also extended his research to the areas of full-aircraft morphing and to reconfigurable controls.
Gandhi is also the author of more than 250 technical papers in refereed journals and proceedings. Gandhi has secured research funding from both industry and government, with past and present funding from the National Rotorcraft Technology Center, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Office of Naval Research, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Army Research Office, NASA, Boeing, United Technologies Research Center, Bell Helicopter, AgustaWestland, and others.
Gandhi is active in his field. He served on the American Helicopter Society (AHS) Technical Council from 2007 to 2009, and he was technical chair of the AHS 2009 Annual Forum. Additionally, he served as co-chair of the 2010 International Conference on Adaptive Structures and Technologies (ICAST) and chair of the 2016 ICAST. Gandhi is a past chair of the AHS Aircraft Design Technical Committee and the AHS Dynamics Technical Committee. He is a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Adaptive Structures Committee (chair 2016-2018), the International Society for Optics and Photonics’ Smart Structures Program Committee, and the ICAST Organizing Committee.
He served as associate editor of the Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures and the Journal of the American Helicopter Society. Additionally, he was guest editor of a 2001 special issue of Smart Materials and Structures Journal on rotorcraft applications, and for a 2010 Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures special issue on flexible skins for morphing aircraft.
Gandhi has garnered many awards and honors for his work. In 1997, he received the Army Research Office Young Investigator Award, and in 1998 he won the Francois Xavier Bagnoud Award from the American Helicopter Society. Gandhi won a Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Award in 2007, and the Penn State Engineering Society’s Outstanding Research Award in 2009. He was recognized with the AHS Forum Best Aircraft Design Paper awards in 2002, 2009, and 2017, and the University of Bristol’s Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professorship in 2009-10. Gandhi is an associate fellow of the AIAA. | {"pred_label": "__label__wiki", "pred_label_prob": 0.7924441695213318, "wiki_prob": 0.7924441695213318, "source": "cc/2019-30/en_head_0039.json.gz/line1235758"} |

On Safenet HSM key-extraction vulnerability CVE-2015-5464 (part I)
This series of posts is provides a more in-depth explanation of the key-extraction vulnerability we discovered and reported to Safenet, designated as CVE-2015-5464.
PKCS11
Safenet HSMs are closely based on the PKCS#11 specification. This is a de facto standard designed to promote interoperability between cryptographic hardware by providing a consistent software interface. Imagine how difficult it would be to write a cryptographic application such as Bitcoin wallet to work with external hardware if each device required a different API for signing a Bitcoin transaction. Certainly at low-level differences between devices are apparent: some connect over USB while others are addressed over TCP/IP, each device typically requires different device driver much like brands of printers do. Instead PKCS11 seeks to provide a higher-level point where these differences can be abstracted behind a unified API, with a vendor-provided PKCS#11 module translating each function into the appropriate commands native to that brand of hardware.
PKCS#11 is a very complex standard with dozens of APIs and wide-range of cryptographic operations, called “mechanisms” for everything from encryption to random number generation. Safenet vulnerability involves the key derivation mechanisms. These are used to create a cryptographic key as a function of another key. For example BIP-32 for Bitcoin proposes the notion of hierarchical-deterministic wallets where a family of Bitcoin addresses are derived from a single “seed” secret. Designed properly, key-derivation provides such an amplification effect while protecting the primary secret.Even if a derived key is compromised, the damage is limited. One can not work their way back to the seed. But when designed improperly, the derived key has a simple relationship to the original secret and leaks information about it.
Some options are better left unimplemented
That turns out to be the problem with several of the key-derivation mechanisms defined in PKCS#11 and implemented by Safenet. (To give a flavor of what is supported, here is the list of options presented by the demonstration utility ckdemo shipped as part of Safenet client.) Many of these are sound. A few are problematic, with varying consequences. For example the ability to toggle secret-key bits using XOR and perform operations with the result leads to exploitable conditions for certain algorithms.
Related-key cryptanalysis is the specific branch specializing in these attacks. It turns out that for Safenet HSMs, we do not need to dig very deep into cryptanalytic results. There are at least two mechanisms that are easy to exploit and work generically against a wide-class of algorithms: extract-key-from-key and XOR-base-and-data.
Slicing-and-dicing secrets
Extract-key-from-key is defined in section 6.27.7 of PKCS#11 standard version 2.30. It may as well have been renamed “extract-substring” as the analog of standard operation on strings. This derivation scheme creates a new key by taking a contiguous sequence of bits at desired offset and length from an existing key. Here is an example of this in action with ckdemo utility provided by Safenet.
We start out with an existing 256-bit AES key with handle #37. Here are its PKCS #11 attributes:
PKCS #11 attributes of original AES key
Note CKA_VALUE_LEN attribute is 0x20 in hex, corresponding to 32 bytes as expected for 256-bit AES. Because the object is sensitive, those bytes comprising the key can not be displayed. But we can use key-derivation mechanism to extract a two-byte subkey from the original. We pick extract-key-from-key mechanism, start at the most-significant bit (ckdemo starts indexing bit-positions at 1 instead of 0) and extract 2 bytes:
Using extract-key-from-key derivation
Now we look at attributes of the derived key. In particular note that its length is reported as 2 bytes:
PKCS #11 attributes of derived key
So what can we do with this resulting two-byte key, which is not going to be very difficult to brute-force? Safenet supports HMAC with arbitrary sized keys so we can HMAC a chosen message:
HMAC chosen message using derived key
Given this primitive, the attack is straightforward: brute-force the short key by trying all possibilities against known message/HMAC pairs. In this case we get 0x5CD3 since:
$ echo -n ChosenMessage | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac `echo -en "\x5c\xd3"`
(stdin)= 1db249f0e928b3aeff345aedaa3365ea690f06f3710433fc4a063b4cfffbe930
That corresponds to the two most-significant bytes of the original key. Now we can iterate: derive another short-key at different offset (say bits 17 through 32), brute-force that using a chosen message attack, repeat until all key bytes are recovered. Fully automated, this requires a couple of seconds with Luna G5, much less time with the more powerful SA7000 used in CloudHSM. Main trade-off is available computing power to brute-force key fragments offline. Given more resources, larger fragments of multiple contiguous bytes can be recovered at a time, necessitating fewer key derivation and HMAC operations. (Also since we have a chosen-plaintext attack with HMAC input that we control, there are time-space tradeoffs to speed up key recovery by building look-up tables ahead of time.)
Surprisingly this works not only against symmetric keys such as AES or generic HMAC secrets but also against elliptic-curve private keys (RSA, plain DSA and Diffie-Hellman were not affected.) This is an implementation quirk: these mechanisms are typically intended for symmetric-keys only. For elliptic-curve keys, the byte array being truncated is the secret scalar part of the key. For example the “secret” component for a Bitcoin ECDSA key is a discrete logarithm in secp256k1. Internally that discrete logarithms is just stored as 32-byte scalar value, and extract-key-from-key can be used to successively reveal chunks of that scalar value.
XOR-base-and-data suffers from a very similar problem. This operation derives a new key by XORing user-chosen data with original secret key. While there are cryptographic attacks exploiting that against specific algorithms such as 3DES, a design choice made by Safenet leads to simpler key recovery attack that works identically against any algorithm: when the size of data is less than size of the key, result is truncated to data size. XORing 256-bit AES key with one-byte data results in one-byte output. That provides another avenue for recovering a key incrementally: we derive new HMAC key by XORing with successively longer sequences of zero bytes, with only the last segment of new key left to brute-force at each step.

lsadehaan says:
That is why you should only allow the minimal required attributes on your keys. You should not enable Sign for a key with Derive enabled. If you really need to derive a key for signing from a master key, then you would need to find a better method of doing the derivation instead of enabling Derive.
I was under the impression that any key derived from a master key would have the same attributes as the master key, but I just checked the PKCS11 documentation and it only has restrictions on the sensitive and exportable attributes. This means that if a key has the derive attribute set, you can effectively create a new key with the same value that has any attributes you like (except exportable and sensitive). This means you are completely right that any key with Derive set to true would be vulnerable to these attacks.
Daniel Turissini (@turissd) says:
This a a general failure of the NIST (and other federal) testing/ evaluation programs in a PC environment that values the appearance of “equality” above the equally strict application and transparency of basic security requirements. All evaluated products are not equal, however, watering down of minimal requirements falsely cause the user community to assume one product is just as good as the other – “it’s approved”. For example, there are other FIPS 140-2 approved products that only support FIPS-approved KDFs, which use hashing and always use the entire secret, not parts of the secret as described in the vulnerability. SPYRUS is a prime example of a product that takes its position as a leading edge FIPS-approved product vendor seriously – here is a good read: http://www.spyrus.com/whats-a-pkcs-11-attack-and-how-do-you-prevent-it/
Take away, buyer beware. Look beyond the basic stamp of approval.

Apple Music To Implement Hi-Fi Streaming At No Added Cost
Photo / Slash Gear
Apple’s high-fidelity option will be available next month
Starting next month, Apple Music is getting two huge updates, support for high-quality lossless audio and for spatial audio through Dolby Atmos. The surprising feature to both of these needed upgrades is that these newly announced upgrades will be free to all subscribers, including individuals on both family and student plans. According to reports, Apple Music will have 75 million lossless audio songs by the end of 2021, and 20 million lossless audio songs to start once the program begins.
Subscribers will be able to experience Apple Music’s new Hi-Fi streaming feature as long as they have external equipment like a DAC. DAC stands for Digital-To-Analog converter and converts digital information into sound through a playback device. Subscribers who are utilizing AirPods or Beats headphones will likely experience a higher level of sound.
Only Apple Music subscribers will be able to listen to the lossless audio tracks, and the company will not be allowing ‘music purchases in lossless quality, nor will there be any way to upgrade owned tracks to lossless with the paid iTunes Match service,’ The Verge is reporting.
Apple Music is not the first company to announce the implementation of Hi-Fi streaming as both Amazon Music and Spotify have announced their plans of Hi-Fi streaming this year. It will be interesting to see which company implements Hi-Fi streaming in the most appealing way to its subscribers, and what the feedback will be as a result.

It’s hard to find a company today that doesn’t have a website. This is probably one of the first things a potential customer looks for when they want to know more before they spend their money. Because of this, your company’s web design must be flawless. Even though this seems like an obvious idea, it still doesn’t happen due to some common mistakes people make when designing a website.
Your company’s website is the place where you can put all the information people need to know about your business and what you’re selling. It is also one of the most important channels to connect with your users or customers. Nowadays, you can even have online chats and other platforms that can help your customer service on so many levels. It is obvious that everything must work correctly. Finding mistakes after publishing a site can completely drive your customer away without a second thought.
Think about it. Your company’s website is a significant touchpoint. It must help your brand to stand out and gain more advocates. It can also help you spread the word about your business. Any mistakes can have exactly the opposite effect.
From a marketing and customer experience point of view, your company web design should be an extension of your brick and mortar store, if that’s your case. In other words, your website is the extension of your corporate identity. Everything you put there is a reflection of your business identity, your core values, and mission. If this page doesn’t have a channel to talk with your customers, it shows that your brand doesn’t want to communicate with them. If it doesn’t have enough information, it can show lack of effort when telling your customer about you, or that you don’t care about leaving your customer in the dark. One way or another, it can only result in a bad image for your brand. And we know that’s not your goal.
It’s possible to find some common mistakes in web design; some can be called a blast from the past. That still makes their way into our modern lives, but some designers or business owners are afraid to let go. Others are due to poor testing in their need to hurry to get stuff done. Either way, you need to be prepared to notice and avoid them. The sooner, the better.
We made a list of some of the most common and annoying mistakes seen in designing a webpage. And most importantly, how to avoid them.
This one gets the first place in this list. Customers can get annoyed when they can’t get in touch with a company. Sometimes, it’s so hard to find a phone number or email address. It’s frustrating when a company refuses to let customer’s get in touch.
Picture this: an interested user comes to your website and makes an expensive purchase, but when they go to checkout, nothing happens. This person wants to contact your customer service and happily finish their big purchase, so they look for a way to easily and quickly talk to someone. They look for an online chat, an e-mail, a phone number, but to their demise, there is none. They look for your brand’s social media platform, but it seems like no one has been there for ages. Finally, they Google your company’s name and a lot of complaints about the same issue come up. Now what you think is going to happen? What would you do?
You can trust that your customer may need your product and that they will wait for you and understand your reasons. But is that really a risk you want to take? The complaints will still show and affect your business. Word of mouth is still one of the best marketing advertisements, and nowadays a bad review can spread quickly on the internet. It makes all your other marketing efforts lose their value.
Make yourself easy to reach and don’t challenge your customer to find a way to contact you. If they want to get in touch, it must be smooth and effortless on their side. Your contact information must be visible on every page of your website, just a glance and a quick click away. Some companies even have a popup with a telephone number that appears every time you are unable to finish some action. That’s a great way to show you care, and that you are open to customer’s contact anytime.
One golden rule is: don’t annoy your customer by any means.
You don’t want to annoy your user, and you don’t want to frustrate them either. Error pages and broken links can be very frustrating, mainly if your user wants to solve something quickly and ends up taking a long time to finish any action. That alone can be a reason for your customer to leave your page and never come back. They will probably look for some other company that can give them a better service.
Make sure your website has no dead ends and that every clickable button is working correctly. If you need to put down a page for some reason, explain that to your user and put it back to work as soon as possible.
Users don’t usually wait a long time for pages to load completely. If it’s taking longer than they expected, it’s taking too long, and your customer will leave.
Slow pages usually happen when there are too many heavy pictures, videos, or animations. Users will generally see the wait as a waste of time.
You can and should put images and videos on your page, but only if it adds to your page. Always verify that it’s not taking a long time to load, and boring away your users.
If you have a video, make sure that your customers are interested in that, and that they wouldn’t rather go straight to your website text content. If they are not interested in the video, you might be losing money and prospect.
To be appealing, a web page must be easy on the eyes and have a concise content. Simple as that.
Avoid mixing different fonts with different sizes, using colors that are too bold, or weird, can give your user an unsettling sensation that can make them leave the page without even reading your content properly and getting the information you want them to get.
Everything you put on your website must be thought out and prepared with responsibility. The final product has to be appealing and comfortable. It needs to make people feel that they want to stay and discover more about this company.
Every page on your website must have a link to your homepage. That creates opportunities for your business because more people can know about your services and also, your customers won’t feel trapped on your website. Adding links to your homepage will assure them that if they accidentally click somewhere, they will find their starting point again.
The thing is, everything that your user wants to do on your website must be easy and stress-free. As we already talked about before, the most important thing is to make your user happy. Don’t frustrate and annoy your customers.
With an easy link to your homepage every step of the way, a customer can send a link to a friend, and this friend can easily know more about your business’ products and services. They can discover more about you and maybe relate to your core mission and values, creating a relationship that can develop a significant number of sales.
Remember earlier when we talked about “blast from the past.” This is it. A while ago someone had a great idea of putting background music on websites, but that never looked like something users enjoyed.
Usually, people don’t like having a loud sound coming out of their computer as a surprise. Users find music on websites unexpected and annoying, especially when they can’t find a button to turn it off or are already listening to something else.
Be mindful of all small details when creating your website. Assure yourself that all aspects make sense and always talk to your web designer, as this professional will probably be your best advisor and advocate. Knowing your user profile is also a good way to go. Understand what they expect and how they are going to feel. Remember that less is more. This applies to your web design.
Test it, test it, test it. To notice errors and areas that you can improve before launching, you must always check your website. Make sure it’s working at least once a week.
Most of the mistakes we mentioned can be avoided by carefully testing a website. That’s the easiest way to discover page errors, orphan pages, weird fonts, and so on.
Another way to go is by asking your user about their experience by offering a quick survey when they arrive on your webpage. Opinions and reviews can be very helpful and help you understand why people are not engaging or staying long enough on your website.
Now it’s your turn. Tell us what you think is a major “no” on web design and how to avoid it. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-19T08:49:37Z', 'url': 'https://www.evinex.com/7-critical-web-design-mistakes-you-should-avoid/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

W&L president highest-paid Va private college head
RICHMOND – A new survey shows that Washington and Lee University’s president was the highest-paid private college leader in Virginia in 2011.
The survey by the Chronicle of Higher Education found that Kenneth P. Ruscio’s total compensation was $922,542 in 2011. Ruscio’s compensation included base pay of $390,553.
The survey ranked Ruscio 52nd among 500 private college presidents nationwide.
University of Richmond President Edward L. Ayers was ranked 68th on the list. His total compensation in 2011 was $836,289, including base pay of $469,021.
The survey says Ayers’ compensation declined by about $2,500 from 2010. University of Richmond spokeswoman Linda Evans tells the Richmond Times-Dispatch that the figures reflect a one-time correction of an administrative error. She says Ayers received a modest increase in base salary. | {"pred_label": "__label__cc", "pred_label_prob": 0.6739833950996399, "wiki_prob": 0.3260166049003601, "source": "cc/2022-05/en_head_0028.json.gz/line1315993"} |
Robotics Safety in the Workplace
The use of robotics is becoming increasingly common in the workplace. Long a staple in the automotive industry, robots have moved into sectors such as food and consumer goods, plastics and rubber, life sciences and electronics, according to the Robotics Industries Association (RIA), a trade association that promotes robotics and automation.
For example, the International Federation of Robotics’ (IFR) latest “World Robotics Industrial Robots” report found there were approximately 293,000 industrial robots operating in factories throughout the U.S. in 2020. New robotics sales, the report found, were also strong, and remained on par with the 33,300 units shipped in 2019.
Robot density — a measurement of the number of robots per 10,000 workers in an industry — was up to 228 in the United States in 2019, the IFR reports. That number is 28% higher than the robot density of China (187 per 10,000 workers) but just a fraction of the 855 robots used per 10,000 workers in South Korea.
When humans work alongside machines, human safety is paramount. Occupational safety professionals need to be aware of the hazards and safety protocols required to keep workers safe. Earning a bachelor’s degree in occupational safety can be a step toward any of a variety of occupational health and safety careers, including becoming a leader in an environment that uses robotics.
What Are Robots in the Workplace?
Industrial robots, according to the United States Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), are “programmable multifunctional mechanical devices designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through variable programmed motions to perform a variety of tasks. Robots are used to perform unsafe, hazardous, highly repetitive, and unpleasant tasks.”
Examples of robots in the workplace include automotive industry robots, welding robots, aircraft inspection robots, industrial floor scrubbers and order assembly robots (such as those used by retailers like Amazon). Workplace robots allow for a more productive — and more efficient — way to control costs and increase overall production.
According to Safety+Health magazine, certain robots are more likely to be found in professional settings, including:
Industrial robot: This is a robot that is automatically controlled and programmable. It can be either fixed in place or mobile and is commonly used in applications such as manufacturing, inspection, packaging and assembly.
Professional service robot: This type performs commercial tasks outside of industrial applications, such as cleaning, delivery, firefighting or surgery.
Mobile robot: This one can travel under its own control, for instance in a warehouse or in military settings. It may be autonomous or guided.
Collaborative robot: This highly complex robot is specifically designed to perform tasks with humans.
Mishaps with robots are most likely to occur when workers aren’t where they normally are, usually conducting necessary maintenance, testing or programming. Robots are rarely sophisticated enough to know whether a person is nearby.
The best safety tactic is staying away from any robot that is in motion or carrying out a scheduled task, according to Carole Franklin, the RIA’s director of standards development. “What we’ve been dealing with so far is a robot that is fixed in place, so a person has to approach the robot in order to be exposed to its hazards,” Franklin said.
Robotics Safety
So far, robotics safety rules are few. While OSHA has yet to publish specific standards for the robotics industry, those who work in close proximity to industrial robots are entitled to certain rights and protections. Examples of worker protections afforded by OSHA, including for those who work with industrial robots, include the following:
Working in an environment free of serious harmful risks
Receiving information and training about workplace hazards and hazard prevention
Being able to review records of injuries that have taken place on the job
Being permitted to file a confidential complaint with OSHA to have their workplace inspected
Asking OSHA to inspect their workplace if a serious hazard exists and also if their employer is not following OSHA rules
Retaining the ability to legally report an injury or point out any discovered health and safety concerns without fear of retaliation
Robotics Safety Training
Companies using robotic automation must make safety their utmost concern, and workers must be taught they cannot be complacent about the hazards of automation. For example, managers must ensure that workspaces are clearly marked, and educate employees about which floor spaces they need to stay away from when a robot is operating.
Additionally, robot operators must be trained on how and when to safely intervene if a robot stops or malfunctions during operation. If a company is using multiple robots, separate training should be conducted for each one.
Future of Robots
In the upcoming years, it’s projected that industrial robots will be less expensive and have greater technical capabilities. This, combined with advances in technology that allow robot manufacturers to assemble, install and maintain robots faster and at a lower cost than could be achieved in the past, are expected to have a positive impact on the industrial robotics sector.
As industrial robots become increasingly prevalent, occupational safety professionals need to understand both current and upcoming safety initiatives. OSHA’s existing technical manual outlines the hazards, investigation guidelines and controls necessary for safeguarding personnel. To get a better idea of the risks workers are facing, OSHA is also considering an update to its rules governing the use of machines in the workplace. The agency has requested information from those most likely to be affected, including those working side-by-side with collaborative robotics.
In addition, RIA has worked with both the American National Standards Institute and the International Organization for Standardization to examine and update guidelines for humans working with machines. Current safety standards account for collaborative robots, and recent specifications address safety considerations in establishing a collaborative robot system.
Learn About Robotics Safety with an Occupational Safety Degree
Eastern Kentucky University’s online bachelor’s degree in occupational safety is designed to prepare graduates to protect the health and safety of workers in a variety of environments, including those where workers interact with robots.
Students can also fulfill the requirements for a minor in Fire and Safety Engineering Technology and may also qualify for the Institute of Safety and Health Management’s Associate Safety Health Manager designation.

THIS princess was daughter of Theodoric, a powerful Saxon count. Her parents placed her very young in the monastery of Erford, of which her grandmother Maud was then abbess. Our Saint remained in that house, an accomplished model of all virtues, till her parents married her to Henry, son of Otho, Duke of Saxony, in 913, who was afterwards chosen king of Germany. He was s pious and victorious prince, and very tender of his subjects. Whilst by his arms he checked the insolence of the Hungarians and Danes, and enlarged his dominions by adding to them Bavaria, Maud gained domestic victories over her spiritual enemies more worthy of a Christian and far greater in the eyes of Heaven. She nourished the precious seeds of devotion and humility in her heart by assiduous prayer and meditation. It was her delight to visit, comfort, and exhort the sick and the afflicted; to serve and instruct the poor, and to afford her charitable succor to prisoners. Her husband, edified by her example, concurred with her in every pious undertaking which she projected. After twenty-three years' marriage God was pleased to call the king to himself, in 936. Maud, during his sickness, went to the church to pour forth her soul in prayer for him at the foot of the altar. As soon as she understood, by the tears and cries of the people, that he had expired, she called for a priest that was fasting to offer the holy sacrifice for his soul. She had three sons: Otho, afterwards emperor; Henry, Duke of Bavaria; and St. Brunn, Archbishop of Cologne. Otho was crowned king of Germany in 937, and emperor at Rome in 962, after his victories over the Bohemians and Lombards. The two oldest sons conspired to strip Maud of her dowry, on the unjust pretence that she had squandered the revenues of the state on the poor. The unnatural princes at length repented of their injustice, and restored to her all that had been taken from her. She then became more liberal in her alms than ever, and founded many churches, with five monasteries. In her last sickness she made her confession to her grandson William, the Archbishop of Mentz, who yet died twelve days before her, on his road home. She again made a public confession before the priests and monks of the place, received a second time the last sacraments, and, lying on a sack-cloth, with ashes on her head, died on the 14th of March in 968.
Reflection.--The beginning of true virtue is most ardently to desire it, and to ask it of God with the utmost assiduity and earnestness. Fervent prayer, holy meditation, and reading pious books, are the principal means by which this virtue is to be constantly improved, and the interior life of the soul to be strengthened. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-21T22:19:03Z', 'url': 'https://www.etverbum.com/2014/03/march-14-st-maud-queen-butlers-saint-of.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
Getting involved in Black Lives Matter
Talisman June 5, 2020

Breonna Taylor, 26, was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers during an unannounced search of her home on March 13, in which the officers used a “no-knock” warrant. According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, more than 20 rounds were fired and Taylor was shot eight times. The officers involved have not been charged with any crimes as of June 5, and the FBI has opened an investigation.
On May 25, 46-year-old George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes while Floyd pleaded for the officer to get off with the dying words, “I can’t breathe.”
Referencing the deaths of Floyd and Eric Garner, who was killed after being put in a chokehold by a New York City police officer in July 2014, “I can’t breathe” has become a collective slogan for the Black Lives Matter movement used in protest of police brutality. Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder, which typically means the murder was not premeditated, according to the Cornell Law School. He has also been charged with second-degree manslaughter. The other three officers at the scene have been charged with aiding and abetting Chauvin.
According to Mapping Police Violence, more than 1,000 unarmed people were killed by police from 2013-2019 — 336 of them were black, and 99% of killings by police from 2013-2019 have not resulted in officers being charged with a crime. The deaths of Taylor and Floyd are only two on the list of killings of black people by police, and you can read about the history of police brutality here.
Upon the death of Floyd, supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement and people all around the world have been gathering for protests against police brutality and calling for people to speak out about systemic racism in the U.S. Protesting is one way to show support for the movement and lives lost, but the Talisman has compiled a list of ways you can support and be informed from home.
Below is a list of petitions to sign, places to donate money or time, content you can stream and read and black-owned businesses in Bowling Green you can support.

nephews of the Makhdüm Şahib, Khwaja Kalan Danishmand was not married, and Khwaja Anwar died childless. Khwaja Nur, the only surviving nephew of the Makhdūm Ṣāḥib, married a Muhammadan Princess of Sonargaon. Their descendants are the present Mutawallis. With the Sonargaon Princess came a large number of persons, both Hindus and Muslims, who with the old survivals re-established the colony. The present inhabitants of Shāhzādpūr, are supposed to be their descendants. Shāhzādpur is divided into fourteen maḥallas or sections, according to the origin, profession, or rank, etc., of the emigrants from Sonargaon. The following are the mahallas :-(1) Haidarābād, (2) Qandahāri-pāṛa, (3) Pathān-pāra, (4) Mihtar-pāra, (5) Mughalhāṭṭa, (6) Kāghazi-tōla, (7) Qazi-pāra, (8) Mulla-pāra, (9) Cuniakhalipāṛa, (10) Katgaṛ-pāṛa, (11) Mutia-pāṛa, (12) Dhari-pāṛa, (13) Car-pāṛa, (14) Andhār-kotha.
The place whence earth was dug, and into which lime was deposited, for the construction of the buildings, is called Cunia-khālī, and the pāra, Cunia-khālī-pāra (or lime-tank-quarter). There was a jail or house of correction, where criminals used to be imprisoned and so called Andhār-koṭhā or "Black-Hole." Its traces can still be seen.
From it the quarter takes its name.
4.-The Mosque.
Area of the interior :-Length 51 ft. 9 in., breadth 31 ft. 5 in.; height 16 ft. 2 in.
Area of the exterior :-Length 62 ft. 9 in., breadth 41 ft. 3 in., height 19 ft. 10 in.
The wall is 5 ft. 7 in. thick. There are five door-ways, each measuring 7 ft. 5 in. in height by 6 ft. in. in breadth. The utmost height. of the domes-15 in number-from the floor of the temple is 20 ft. 9 in. The mosque is built of bricks and lime of cowries. The edifice is supported by 28 pillars of black basalt, one of which is a little dissimilar from others in colour. It is pressed, contrary to the Islamic Law, by women to their bosom, praying for the birth of children. Their vows, it is supposed, are fulfilled.
Attached to the western inner wall of the masjid-on a platform, measuring 6 ft. 10 in. in length, 5 ft. 6 in. in breadth and 6 ft. 8 in. in height is constructed the mimbar or pulpit, 5 ft. 2 in. high, having the same length and breadth as the platform beneath. An arched staircase, with seven steps, is so constructed as to touch the pulpit.
There is a brick āngna or platform in front of the temple. The floor of the latter is higher than that of the former by one inch. On both sides of the platform-north and south-walls have been built,
having an underground base of 4 ft. 6 in. The jambs of the doors are constructed of black basalt. Over the pulpit, and on the outer walls of the temple, are sculptured beautiful arabesques, consisting of foliage, fruits and other parts of the plant. Lengthwise on both sides of the walls there are half a dozen small false panellings made in plaster.
5.-The Waqf Estate.
The Shahzadpur mosque is endowed with 722 bighas of rent-free lands held direct from Government by trustees or mutawallis—who are descended, as stated above, from Khwaja Shāh Nur and the Sonārgāon Princess. Of these lands only 15 khadas are set apart for the service of the temple. The remaining lands were given away to the original settlers, many of whose descendants still enjoy lākhirāj, madad-i-ma‘āṣh and other kinds of tenures1.
There is a piece of stone upon which are inscribed certain figures (Plate No. ) which I could not decipher.
6.-The Fair.
A mēlā or fair is held every year, close to the masjid-from the end of Cait to the beginning of Baisakh (April-May) which lasts for about a month. It is visited by Hindus and Muhammadans from far and near. The offerings consist of rice, fowls, sugar, and sweets, also pices for the cirāghi, for the fulfilment of their desires. The mēlā is visited by about seven thousand people.
The species of the Bokhārā pigeons-given by Shah Jalālu-d-Din Bokhāri and called after him Jalālī ka būtar—still survive, and can be seen in the precincts of the Shāhzādpūr mosque as well as in the neighbouring villages.
7.-Notes.
The above is a complete review of the past traditions and the present state of the mosque and tombs of Shāhzādpūr. The former raises the following issues: (1) Was Bengal colonized as long ago as the first century of the Hijri Era by the Arabs ? (2) Who was the Makhdum Ṣāḥib and his followers ?
Shāhzādpūr of the present is not in many respects the Shāhzādpūr of the past. Yet it tells the tales of a distant and dismal past-by its mosque and tombs. The site of a bloody battle-field is indicated by the
1 Makhdūm Ṣāḥib was a Muḥammadan prince, who came to Bengal and was allowed to colonize Yusufshāhī, then an uninhabited jungle Four sharers now hold the land, each of whom is honoured with the affix of 'Ṣāḥib,' while the Senior sharer is well-known as an influential zamīndār.-Hunter's Statistical Account of Pabna, pp. 315-16.
promiscuously buried remains of the martyrs. Despite its reclaimed marshes and dried-up swamps, we can reasonably picture a time, when the place was of an alluvial formation, fit for a petty trading colony. The Tsan-pu or Brahmaputra, the Indus and the Satlej, may be said to start from the same water-parting in the highlands of Central Asia. After receiving several tributaries from the confines of the Chinese Empire, and twisting round the lofty eastern Himalayan range, the Brahmaputra rolls down the Assam Valley. As the Indus with its feeder, the Satlej, and the Brahmaputra, convey to India the drainage from the northern slopes of the Himalayas, so the Ganges, with its tributary, the Jamuna, collects the rainfall from the southern or Indian slopes of the mountain-wall and pours it down upon the plains of Bengal.1
It is a well-known fact that this part of Bengal is annually, during the rainy season, inundated, and the wide stretches of country around look like a vast ocean as the name of the river Harasāgar indicates.2
In a remote period, we find that the whole ancient geography of India is obscured by changes in the courses of the rivers. Within historic times, many decayed or ruined cities attest the alteration in river beds. It is not, therefore, improbable that Arab coasting vessels came as far as the Gangetic Delta, and that Bengal was colonized in the first or second century of the Hijri Era by the Arabs. They, as also their predecessors, might have "followed the courses of the river."8 In 647 A.D only fifteen years or so after the death of the Prophet, Khalif 'Othman sent a sea-expedition to Thana and Broach on the Bombay coast. Other raids towards Sindh occurred in 662 and 664. An Arab ship being seized, Muḥammad b. Qāsim in 711 A.D. advanced into Sindh to claim damages, and settled himself in the Indus Valley.

& The Padma as well as the other rivers, in this part of Bengal, have undergone, during the life time of man, great changes. The Padma that flows in the Pabna District is subject to constant alluvian and deluvian.
Dr. Hunter in the Statistical Account of Rangpur District, p. 162 says:Dr. Buchanan Hamilton wrote in 1809 that "since the survey was made by Major Rennel (about 30 years ago) the rivers of the District (Rangpur) have undergone such changes that, I find the utmost difficulty in tracing them. '

The general information with respect to the trade of the Arabians with India is confirmed and illustrated by the Relation of a Voyage from the Persian Gulf towards the East, written by the Arabian merchant in 851 A.D., and explained by the Commentary of another Arabian, who had likewise visited the Eastern part of Asia. This voyage together with the observations of Abu-zaid-al-Hasan of Siraf, was
According to Dr. Buchanan, "it is probable, indeed, that there were Muhammadans in this part (eastern) of Bengal, at a period long anterior to the conquest of the country by Bakhtyar Khilji in 1203.” Başra merchants, it is a fact, carried on an extensive maritime commerce with India and China, as early as the 8th century, and many of them settled in the countries they visited. Dr. William Robertson (Ancient India, p. 95) states that they were so numerous in Canton, that the Chinese Emperor (according to the Arab authors) permitted them to have a Qazi of their own sect, who decided controversies among his country-men by their own laws, and presided in all the functions of religion. In other sea-ports proselytes were gained, and the Arabic language was spoken and understood. There is reason to believe, from this circumstance, that Bengal was the seat of a colonyof Muhammadan merchants at this early period. This may be inferred from the extensive commerce it enjoyed with the countries of the West from early times. See J.A.S. Vol. XVI (1847) pp. 76-77.
Was Shāhzādpār-or rather Yusufshāhi-such a colony? Was Makhdum Shāh Daula "Shahid" at once the Vasco de Gama and the Clive of the expedition ? The tradition is told without regard for chronology. Native credulity has of course woven together exaggerated accounts.
The following biographical sketch of Muʻāzz-ibn Jabal whose son, published by M. Renoudat in 1718. The Relation of the two Arab travellers is confirmed by Mas'ūdī, who himself visited India.
The progress of the Arabians extended far beyond the Gulf of Siam, the boundary of European navigation. They became acquainted with Sumatra and the other islands of the Indian Archipelago and advanced as far as Canton. Nor are these discoveries to be considered as the effect of the enterprising curiosity of individuals ; they were owing to a regular commerce carried on from the Persian Gulf with China and all the intermediate countries. In a short time they advanced far beyond the boundaries of ancient navigation and brought many of the most precious commodities of the East directly from the countries which produced them. They noticed the general use of silk among the Chinese. They are the first who mention the celebrated manufacture of porcelain. They describe the tea-tree, and the mode of using its leaves, and the great revenue which was levied from the consumption of tea-Extracted from Dr. William Robertson's "An Historical Disquisition Concerning Ancient India," Section III, pp. 93–96, and Note XXXVI, p. 224.
1 As with the Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, and English, so with the Arabs of old, commerce was the first consideration that impelled them to seek adventures. Commerce was followed by colonizing zeal and missionary enterprise. Their long domiciliation in India led them to contract undesirable marriages with lowcaste native females, thus giving birth to a new race of Indo-Arabs, which produced slowly but surely, degeneration, deterioration and downfall.
J. I. 35
it is said, came to Bengal, is taken from the Iṣābah (Biblio-theca Indica edition), Vol. III, page 872:
"He was Abū 'Abdu-r-Raḥmān-al-Anṣārī-al-Khizrajī, an Imām of the Science of the Lawful and the Unlawful (Islāmic Law), and was present at the battle of Badr, at the age of 21. The Prophet (may God's blessing be upon him) deputed him to Yaman, gave him his blessings, permitted him to accept gifts and wrote thus to the people of Yaman: 'I send to you the best of us.' Mu'azz returned, during the Khilafat of Abu Bakr, from Yaman. In his Huliya, Abū Noem states that Mu‘azz-ibn-Jabal was a leader of the lawyers, and a store-house for the scholars. He fought at Badr, Aqaba, and other battles. By his meekness, modesty, and liberality, he was the best of the young Anṣārs. His body was symmetrical and he was handsome. Of him Ka'b-ibn-Malik says that he was handsome, brave, and the best specimen of his tribe. So says Al-Waqidi-that he was one of the handsomest men, took part in many battles. He recited several Hadithes from the Prophet, which have been quoted by Ibn-i-'Abbās, Ibn-i-'Omar, Ibn-iAbi Aufi-al-ash'ari, 'Abdu-r-Rahman-b-Samara, Jabir-b-Anas, and other tābi'in..
Mu'azz died in Syria (Shām) in 17 H. or according to many in 18 H., of Plague, at the age of 34."
I am not aware of what became of his children and grandchildren. It is probable that they emigrated to Mesopotamia or Transoxiana, as so many others had done.1
Saiyid Jalālu-d-din Bokhāri,3 during whose life-time the sea-expedition, it is said, was undertaken, was born at Bokhārā, came to India, and became a disciple of Shaikh Bahau-d-Din Zakariya of Multan. The latter read Ḥadith with Shaikh Kamalu-d-Din Muḥammad of Yaman, at Medina. It is a fact that Khwaja Qutbu-d-Din Bakhtyār Kāki, Khwaja Faridu-d-Din Ganj-i-Shakar, Khwaja Bahau-d-Din Zakariyā of Multan (cousin of the former), Saiyid Jalaluddin Bokhārī, Lāl Shāh
1 One of his sons died in his life-time, when the Prophet wrote to him a very celebrated letter, which has been translated and paraphrased in Persian by Shaikh 'Abdu-l-Haq Dihlavi (958-1052 H.) and is to be found among his collected epistles and miscellaneous treatises, printed at the Majtabāī Press, Delhi.
2 Saiyid Jalālu-d-Din Bokhari came and settled at Uchh in the Multan District, where he died. One of his grandsons was the famous Saiyid Jalālu-d-Din Husain Bokhārī, better known as Makhdūm-i-Jahāniyā. The latter was born at Uchh and died there in 785 H. He visited Bokhārā, the birthplace of his grandfather.
The names of the Makhdum Ṣāḥib and of his nephews show that they must have been born in Iran, or Tūrān. They were rather known by their soubriquets than by their proper names. | {"pred_label": "__label__wiki", "pred_label_prob": 0.7423311471939087, "wiki_prob": 0.7423311471939087, "source": "cc/2023-06/en_head_0009.json.gz/line1239899"} |

VIVA MEXICO! This was the cry used by Miguel Hidalgo to rally his fellow Mexicanos in the struggle against colonialism and today it is still a fitting slogan for exotic and vivacious Mexico, the country they say is so lively that even the Day of the Dead is a party!
Covering an area of almost two million sq km, Mexico is the fifth largest country in the Americas and, with a history that stretches back over ten thousand years, the culture is as diverse as the terrain. Mexico is full of surprises and opposing identities with desert landscapes, snow-capped volcanoes and luscious jungles, ancient Mayan and Aztec ruins, bustling industrialized cities, colonial towns and glitzy resorts, deserted beaches and a world-renowned ‘mega-diverse’ array of flora and fauna.
The mix of modern and ancient, traditional and surreal is key to the charm of Mexico and every individual can find something from the immense platter of passions to indulge in. Of course, if all this sounds too much, you can always join the locals in their love of free time and relax on a sun-kissed beach until mañana comes.
Chartering a Yacht in Mexico
The warm dry climate in Mexico means that it is a great yacht charter destination all year round, even when it is humid, you can just jump into the amazingly soothing turquoise waters. All types of yacht charter are available, motor yachts, sailing yachts, bareboat or crewed, catamarans and even the luxury mega-yachts are starting to make an appearance!
The best thing about chartering a yacht in Mexico is that you can be constantly entertained by following the fiestas along the coastline and join in the Mexican fun as they celebrate in colour, style and vibrancy. In addition to the glorious white beaches and extensive activities available; you can experience spectacular sunsets, hiking, diving, sport fishing, kayaking, whale watching, guided tours and golf to name only a few of the contrasting activities to choose from.
Chartering in Mexico remains relatively inexpensive in comparison to other travel destinations, making this one of the most intriguing destinations and best charter values in the world today.
Map of Mexico Yacht Charter Destinations
Baja Peninsula and Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California)
This is Mexico’s main yacht chartering region and, with the fantastic facilities available, it is not hard to see why. The region offers gorgeous white sandy beaches and a variety of water sports including scuba diving, water skiing and excellent snorkelling, dolphin and whale watching, and swimming with baby sea lions. The area has sailing for novices to those with extensive experience and has picturesque and secluded coves for anchoring a yacht.
The Mexican Riviera is renowned for being a major fishing charter location, with Mazatlan the most famous destination for big game fishing such as marlin, mahi-mahi, tuna, and sailfish. There is also a more traditional Mexican feel to the area with troubadours (traditional singers of love songs) often spotted serenading on the beaches against phenomenal sunset backdrops.
On the eastern side of the country, the Yucatán Peninsula separates the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico so enjoys the balmy tropical weather characteristic of the Caribbean. It formed a significant portion of the ancient Mayan empire so there are many ancient sites on the Peninsula such as the more famous Chichen Itza, Tulum and Uxmal.
Mexican Climate
Divided by the Tropic of Cancer, Mexico is a combination of temperate and tropical zones due to varied elevations. As a result, the climate varies across the country and is the most diverse in the world. The sub-tropical areas in the north generally have hot dry summers and temperate winters, whereas the tropical south is hot and fairly humid the whole year round with average temperatures between 24-28°C (75-81°F). The period between June and September tends to be hottest and wettest over most of the country, whilst the period between October and May is considered the most pleasant time to visit.
Around 30 Mexican cities receive direct flights from North America and Canada, with relatively cheap connections available to the Caribbean and the rest of Latin America. Most flights from Europe fly to Mexico City and Cancún. Aeroméxico and Mexicana the largest Mexican airlines service many international cities.
Mexican Culture
Mexican culture is a reflection of the complex history of the country and the blending of pre-Hispanic civilizations and the Spanish culture-infused during Spain’s 300-year colonial rule of Mexico. Mexico is the second-largest Catholic nation in the world and the Mexicans people proud of their heritage and lifestyle possessing a strong sense of family, respect and community. They are Mexicans are advocates of tipping the work-life balance towards life, and love socialising and spending time with each other; work will never have the importance that friends and family do. The mother is honoured and respected as she is the giver of life and all children whether local or visiting are doted upon.
The Mexican culture includes more than 5000 traditional festivities every year and wherever you go you can be sure to stumble upon a colourful celebration known as a ‘Fiesta’. During the celebrations, Mexico comes to life with large parades, fireworks, dancing, decorations and parties. Some of the more prominent Fiestas are:
Carnaval: 3rd – 8th February
Semana Santa (Easter): Easter (March/April)
Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May): 5th May
Independence Day on September 16th
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead): October 31st to November 2nd
Día de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe (Guadalupe Day, Patron Saint of Mexico): 12th December
Navidad (Christmas): 25th December
Año Nuevo (New Years Day): December 31st to January 1st
Mexico is one of the 18 mega-diverse countries of the world; she is home to over 200,000 different species and 10-12% of the world’s biodiversity. With geography which includes some of the most fantastic jungles, deserts and mountain ranges, Mexico ranks first for the biodiversity of reptiles, second for mammals and fourth for amphibians and flora and, therefore is one of the most important to the world’s environment. Any trip to Mexico would be incomplete without exploring some of this fantastic geography.
Enquire!
Intense, varied, colourful, spicy, these are the words that describe Mexican food (and also the culture!). Mostly based on pre-Hispanic food, including that of the Mayans and Aztecs, Mexican food also exhibits dashes of European influence brought over by the conquistadores of Spain. Dishes you might recognise include tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, burritos, tamales and mole sauces (such as guacamole), not to mention one of the most famous flavours in the world, chocolate.
Mexico’s other famous export is Tequila, whether or not it ‘makes you happy’ it was the first mass-produced in the early 1800’s and originates from the Blue Agave plant, a succulent (not a cactus) that thrives on the volcanic soil near the town of Tequila in the North West of Guadalajara. Interestingly, the tequila worm was a marketing gimmick introduced in the 1940s and is actually the larvae of a certain moth that lives on the Agave plant, the finding of which indicates an infestation and consequently, lower quality tequila.
The currency of Mexico is the Mexican peso, though the most convenient form of money in Mexico is a major international credit or debit card which can also be used to obtain cash from ATMs. Acceptance of cards can be unpredictable so make sure to take more than one card with you. As always, it is a good idea to take some travelers cheques and a little cash, US dollars are the most easily exchangeable foreign currency and are sometimes accepted in hotels and restaurants in more touristy areas.
Although there is no constitutional official language in Mexico, 97% of the population speak Spanish, the largest Spanish-speaking population in the world. However, due to the General Law of Linguistic Rights of the Indigenous Peoples, Spanish is included as a national language along with all the indigenous minority languages spoken in Mexico. All languages are given the same validity regardless of how many speakers of the language there are. English is widely used in business and is understood in many of the more popular tourist destinations.
It is thought that the first people to inhabit Mexico arrived 20,000 years before Columbus arrived. Their descendants developed from hunter-gatherers to agriculturists leading to a succession of highly developed civilizations that flourished between the years of 1200BC and 1521AD and revolved around cities with writing, monumental architecture, astronomical studies, mathematics and large militaries. These civilizations included first the Olmecs, followed about 900 years later by the Zapotecs of Oaxaca and the Mayan people who built the stepped temple pyramids in the Yucatán Peninsula. Other civilizations followed and were succeeded by the Aztecs who settled at Tenochtitlán in the early 14th century.
The landing of Hernán Cortés in 1519 heralded the shattering of nearly 3000 years of civilization as the Spaniards overthrew the Aztec reign and conquered its people in just two short years. Due to harsh treatment by the colonists and newly introduced diseases, the indigenous population fell from an estimated 25 million to one million by 1605. The succeeding centuries were littered with apartheid, unrest and inequality between the indigenous peoples, imported slaves and the Spanish colonists until 1810 when Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla led a rebellion resulting in Mexican independence from Spain in 1832.
Since then the country has experienced years of presidential tussles and spouts of unrest until recently when fairer elections have led to Mexico operating as the federal constitutional republic of the United Mexican States.

Golden Glamour Reviews:
Golden Glamour (1955) ** (out of 4) Dwight Weist narrates this 15-minute documentary short from RKo that says us the history of gold. The documentary begins off showing us different gold pieces that are sold in shops today and then we flashback to when gold was first discovered, methods it was melted and eventually place into different shapes. We see how cigarette lighters, earrings and different another objects are formed and then place on the market. This short is proof that you can have an interesting topics but in the end the material just doesn't work. This movie comes off extremely cheap looking and the narrator never really should pull me into the storyline being told. I'm really not sure what the mission of this as you'd think it would just test to say the history of gold yet at times we receive off on side stories that really don't add up to much. Even at only 15-minutes this thing feels method too long. In the end this is mildly entertaining but considering the topics it should have been a lot more.
This RKO short concerns itself with gold, starting off with golden combs from Egypt and working forward in time. Some time is spent on a enjoy enacting the 'discovery' of the process of gold-fill in Sheffield, although naturally occurring amalgams of gold and silver has been known from ancient times, and is named 'electrum.'It's accurate in its discussion of how gold fill is produced, even if the short winds up being an industrial film, rather than one intended for educating in an entertaining way. This was a not uncommon trouble in RKO shorts in this period. However, to the modern eye, the weirdest thing about this film is that it is about the most colourful of metals, and was produced in black and white!

Saudis suspected of phone spying campaign in US
Saudi Arabia appears to be exploiting weaknesses in the global mobile telecoms network to track its citizens as they travel around the US, according to a whistleblower who has shown the Guardian millions of alleged secret tracking requests.
Data revealed by the whistleblower, who is seeking to expose vulnerabilities in a global messaging system called SS7, appears to suggest a systematic spying campaign by the kingdom, according to experts.
The data suggests that millions of secret tracking requests emanated from Saudi Arabia over a four-month period beginning in November 2019.
The tracking requests, which sought to establish the US location of Saudi–registered phones, appeared to originate from Saudi’s three biggest mobile phone companies.
The whistleblower said they were unable to find any legitimate reason for the high volume of the requests for location information. “There is no other explanation, no other technical reason to do this. Saudi Arabia is weaponising mobile technologies,” the whistleblower claimed. The data leaked by

"I am sorry but he's nowhere to be seen",he said.
"Take a good look again na. He must be somewhere near".
"I did look on two floors for him. He was on a call here only and then while talking he went somewhere.But now I can't come and am sorry",he said in a sunken voice. Surely did he wanted to see her.
"But why? Why do you have to wait for him to come back? Can't you come without telling him? Moreover you will be lying only so why wait for him to return?".
"No...I have the keys that's why I can't come.",he replied.
"Message him that you will come after sometime so that he may know."she suggested.
"No..that won't be a good thing to do na. He might be coming anytime I guess.Then I will come.".
"Why don't you give the keys to somebody else, somebody you both know or somebody whose there at the moment.",she suggested again.
"No..that too won't be a good thing either to do na",he was in no way possible about to meet her soon.
Tangled circumstances leading to some furious arguments and mood implications.
He wanted to meet. She wanted to meet. But, without letting this other guy know about their meeting for some reasons but now situation was getting a bit tacky. She has been waiting for the evening to come the whole day as that's the time when they get to meet all alone, but today luck was not on their side.
And now she was getting furious because earlier she had informed him that she would be reaching their usual meeting point in ten minutes and he was supposed to be there but as he shared his room with this another guy, who had disappeared for the time being,they were unable to meet today.
"So...should I go or wait? ", she asked.
"Hmm...You go. I won't be able to come today.",he answered.
"Seriously?",she freaked at his denial.
"I am extremely sorry. But circumstances are....oh, here he comes. Wait, I will call you in few minutes",and he hung her up.
She waited for him some more minutes outside the building.
Twenty minutes had already passed.
She thought of calling him million times or messaging him up and asking about his status on their meeting but she waited.
Waited for him to call her.
Few more minutes passed and alas came his call.
"Hey,.......I.....won't be able to come today",he said.
"Yea, I tried my best to come but he's not getting convinced with my excuses",he said.
"What all excuses did you make?",she tried calming down her voice.
"I said I have to get a new SIM for one of my friends so I said to go on my own for that but he didn't buy that. He said he will accompany me or maybe later when we go for dinner then I can do that work",he explained.
"That's it. You tried once and you are done.",she was staring to get angry now.
"Noo..I tried some two three times with different ideas but he's not at all in a mood to buy any of my excuses today.",he sounded worried now.
"And you didn't try again. Now that's Disgusting.Whole day the thing that I wait for, is the evening to come. Whole class all I think about is the time when the session will get over and then I will meet you and now you are saying you won't be able to come?",she blasted.
"Am sorry....", but before he could finish she again blasted on him,"also am wearing the pendant set that you gifted, even then you are saying you can't come."
"Say it that you don't want to meet me anymore straightaway, why making lame excuses for that",she was totally pissed off at him now.
"No.I never meant that....", he said.
"No, please go ahead and say it then. All this hints at that only and it's okay if you are done. Doesn't matters. We don't have to meet daily, do we? It's okay if we are not meeting for one day. Tomorrow also something will surface up and we won't be able to meet, then again something will happen day after tomorrow. ", she said angrily.
"No...that's not gonna happen.It's just this one time....",he tried clarifying but she just won't listen.
"This will keep happening and No, it's all okay. Everything is fine. I don't want to talk now. So I am hanging up now. Bye", and she dismissed the call in full anger.
He called her back immediately.
She was angry but she answered the call.
"Yes..? Now why are you calling?", angrily she answered.
"I didn't come today so let's talk na, Please",he was as humble as one could be at fault but she was in no mood of calming down.
"No...I f we can't meet then I don't feel like talking like this on phone",she said.
"But we do meet on all other days na. So please talk na, for few minutes only, if you can",he requested.
"Yea, we do meet. For ten minute, fifteen minutes or sometimes maybe twenty minutes",she complained of their past short meetings.
"We have also met for an hour",he tried recalling their long happy meetings.
"Yea, but just once or twice",she was still angry.
"You know na, I can't do anything here. I am bound with him na. That's why so less time We get together."he tried calming her down.
"Yea, I know. I am not saying anything. Do as you please. Now please don't call me, I don't want to talk anymore now." and the fight continued.
Two times she hung up and one time he did it.
His hanging up was the last and the most unexpected.
She didn't like it. She had never expected this to happen and this quiet disturbed her. She was angry at him, for not meeting her that day when she really wanted to meet and now she was also not happy for fighting with him and got disturbed with his sudden unexpected reaction like this to all this.
Tears did their work and calmed her anger.
She called him up after some half hour.
He sounded quiet settled as if he had just hung up with prior notice.
"Why did you hung up like this on me?"she asked, softly.
"Hmm..because you didn't want to talk to me o with what other option was I left?"he answered plainly.
"Hmm..So you will now do all that I will ask you to do? huh?".
"Hmm...No. But, yes. Most of it I do as you only say",he replied.
They were now talking to each other. Anger was kept aside and he forgave her. Some half hour they talked. Lot's of sorry and complaints were made and lots of forgiving and making the other person understand the critical situation sessions were done.
"So where are you right now?",he asked.
"Am still sitting outside the building where I wait for you everyday",she sighed.
"You are still there?",he was surprised.
"Yes am still there.",she said.
"Yes, really. I am still sitting there. I have been sitting there only since you left with him for your place in the evening.",she answered.
"Okay Okay....Hmm..You are not bluffing right?",he still sounded conspicious.
"No..Why on Earth will I lie to you about this? You don't believe me, isn't it!",she said in one go.
"Okay okay, chill. I do believe you. Don't get angry now",he said.
"I am not losing my calm",she lied.
He knew she lied to him.
"Yes, sure",she answered bit irritated.
"Alright then, turn ",he said.
She stood and turned. He was standing right behind her.
"You..what are you doing here?",she was amazed to see him like this.
"See, I came. I made an excuse and I came because somebody was getting too angry at me for no fault of mine."he said, making this innocent baby face.
"Am sorry."she asked embarrassingly for forgiveness, feeling terrible for her rude behavior.
"Don't say sorry. But you shouldn't have been so angry at me na. Who talks so rudely like this to somebody?"he sure wanted her to realize her mistake.
"I know, and I am extremely sorry for that. I won't do it again."she said, ashamed of her rudeness shown to him few moments back.
"But how did you manage?"she was curious to know.
"Leave it. I came na, that's what's important for you to know".he replied.
"Okay, now don't say anything else. Come let's go ",and she dragged her by her hand.
He didn't reply but just smiled.
"Come na, let's go to our usual point",he said.
"But where are we going?"she asked again in midway.
"Viewpoint",came the reply along with a big grin on his face.
"No, nothing. Let's just go",she said.She didn't want to offend him now with any of her stupid complaints about anything, after being so bad with him,as somewhere she too liked that place. Calm and quiet.
They spent some time together on his favorite meeting spot, Viewpoint, named by him only. Little talk about recent things, family talks, future talks, fight clarifications with a chocolate and chips made their today's meeting at the viewpoint.
"I guess, it's time that we should go. He must be looking for you na",she said,lifting his hand to show him his watch.
"Hmm...I will have to, right?",he didn't want to go.
"Hmm..Okay. ",and he took something out from his pocket.
"Gift! For me",she was shocked.
"What's there in it?"she asked taking it from him.
"Looks like a box. Lemme open it",she said struggling through the ribbon attached on it's top.
Finally the gift was unwrapped.
She was dumbfounded to see what was inside.
Sweet story with an unexpected ending :) Enjoyed reading it. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-25T15:50:52Z', 'url': 'https://smitasdesk.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-new-year.html', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |

About Sevak Om

Sevak Om’s Message
Fund Raising Yogi Workshop
Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline. There is a broad variety of schools, practices and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism (including Vajrayana and Tibetan Buddhism and Jainism. The best-known are Hatha yoga and Raja yoga.
The origins of Yoga
The origins of Yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indian traditions, but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, in ancient India’s ascetic circles, which are also credited with the early sramana movements. The chronology of earliest texts describing yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to Hindu Upanishads and Buddhist Pāli Canon, probably of third century BCE or later. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali from first half of 1st millennium CE is one of a key surviving major texts on Yoga. Hatha yoga texts emerged around 11th century CE, and in its origins was related to Tantrism.
Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the west,following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a system of physical exercise across the Western world.Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise, it has a meditative and spiritual core.One of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism is also called Yoga, which has its own epistemology and metaphysics, and is closely related to Hindu Samkhya philosophy.
Yoga is my favourite way to pretend to work out.
The ultimate goal of Yoga is moksha though the exact definition of what form this takes depends on the philosophical or theological system with which it is conjugated.
According to Jacobsen, “Yoga has five principal meanings:
Yoga as a disciplined method for attaining a goal;
Yoga as techniques of controlling the body and the mind;
Yoga as a name of one of the schools or systems of philosophy (darśana);
Yoga as the goal of Yoga practice.”
Event Agenda and Preparation
Yoga came to the attention of an educated western public in the mid-19th century along with other topics of Indian philosophy. In the context of this budding interest, N. C. Paul published his Treatise on Yoga Philosophy in 1851.
The first Hindu teacher to actively advocate and disseminate aspects of yoga to a western audience, Swami Vivekananda, toured Europe and the United States in the 1890s. The reception which Swami Vivekananda received built on the active interest of intellectuals, in particular the New England Transcendentalists, among them R. W. Emerson, who drew on German Romanticism and the interest of philosophers and scholars like G. F. W. Hegel the brothers August Wilhelm Schlegel and Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel Max Mueller, A. Schopenhauer and others who had interests in things Indian.

is a progressive and left-wing populist political party in Japan founded by actor-turned-politician Taro Yamamoto in April 2019. The party was formed by left-wing members of the Liberal Party who opposed its merger with the Democratic Party for the People. The party won more than 4% of the vote after contesting the House of Councilors election in July 2019, gaining two seats only about three and a half months after the formation of the party.
The party is variously described as being anti-austerity, anti-establishment, and anti-nuclear power as well as supporting animal welfare, minority rights, and economic interventionism.
History
Founding
Taro Yamamoto, a member of the House of Councillors for Tokyo, founded the party on 1 April 2019. This was with the intent of standing multiple candidates, including himself, in the upcoming House of Councillors election later in the year. On 10 April, Yamamoto held a press conference and announced the party's platform.
2019 House of Councillors election
The party stood multiple candidates in the 2019 House of Councillors election. The party won 2.2 million votes in the national PR block, exceeding the 2% threshold needed to be recognised as a political party, and securing two seats. Nearly one million votes were cast for Yamamoto personally; however, because the party had nominated Yasuhiko Funago and Eiko Kimura, both of whom have disabilities, ahead of him in the party list, Yamamoto did not win a seat. The National Diet Building was adapted to allow barrier-free access for wheelchair users.
Notable party members include university professor Ayumi Yasutomi and former deputy representative of the North Korean abduction liaison Toru Hasuike.
2020 Tokyo gubernatorial election
Yamamoto was one of the 22 candidates participating in the 2020 Tokyo gubernatorial election, coming in third place with 10.72% of the votes. The party promises included a direct cash handout programme due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
2021 Japanese general election
Yamamoto joined with the leaders of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Japanese Communist Party, and Social Democratic Party in running a joint opposition coalition based on common policy goals. Yamamoto, who had been formerly running in Tokyo's 8th district, withdrew to run in the Tokyo PR block to avoid vote splitting against the CDP's Harumi Yoshida. The withdrawal came following pushback from local residents, who were hesitant to vote for Yamamoto, a "parachute candidate," over Yoshida, who had been active within the community for many years prior. The party further withdrew 7 candidates as part of the joint platform to avoid vote splitting between the opposition parties, accounting for 40% of Reiwa Shinsengumi's planned slate of candidates.
There are 20 other candidates besides Yamamoto, running under the Reiwa Shinsengumi banner. One of them is Takashi Takai, who was expelled from the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan after ignoring COVID-19 state of emergency laws. Takai is Reiwa Shinsengumi's only sitting legislator, formerly elected on the CDP list for the Chūgoku proportional representation block. Takai will be running at Shiga Prefecture's 3rd District.
2022 House of Councillors election
Yamamoto announced his resignation from the House of Representatives he was elected to in 2021 general election, and contested in Tokyo metropolitan constituency. Reiwa gained three seats in the election: Yamamoto winning a seat in Tokyo, along with two other candidates who took up seats in the nationwide proportional representation block.
Policies
In a press conference held shortly after the founding of the party, Yamamoto announced that his party would push for the abolition of the consumption tax and instead, make the corporation tax a progressive tax and increase government bonds. In addition, he said that the party is against the construction of the Henoko base. They would also ban nuclear power entirely, raise the minimum wage to per hour with public guarantee, implement laws protecting free education, disability rights, LGBT rights, animal rights, institute a basic income of ¥30,000 (circa $283 as of September 2020) per person per month whenever inflation is below 2% (benefits would end whenever inflation is not below the threshold and resume if it goes below again), and reinforce social services.
The party has announced that it would reverse/abolish many of the laws that were revised or passed by Prime Minister Shinzō Abe if elected, including the pre-emptive anti-terrorism law such as martial law State Secrecy Law and the 2015 Japanese military legislation.

News What you should learn about the genuine Queens for the Six Musical
What you should learn about the genuine Queens for the Six Musical
Yes, in the 1st six terms of Olivier Award–nominated musical Six, the fate is learned by us of every of Henry VIII’s spouses. But exactly how much are you aware about their life?
Writers Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss dug in to the reputation for Tudor England in addition to royal court for the words for their pop music opera, and greater historic knowledge means greater admiration associated with the nuances in Marlow and Moss’ writing. Listed below are the CliffsNotes to assist you navigate this chapter in Uk history.
Catherine of Aragon Queen from 1509–1533The “paragon of royalty” ended up being the wife that is first of VIII. A spanish princess, she ended up being the child of Isabelle and Ferdinand, thus the Latin beats and Spanish trumpets inside her Six solo “No Way.” Catherine first married Arthur (Henry’s older cousin and heir obvious to your English throne) in 1501 whenever she ended up being 15. But five months after their wedding, Arthur passed away. Arthur’s daddy almost needed to get back her dowry, but a King would not spend money—or alliances that are european. He married her off to their more youthful son, Henry VIII, in 1509, though Henry was five years her junior. She faithfully served England, ruling as regent in 1513 whenever Henry had been away in France. However when she neglected to create a male heir, things got complicated. Along with her pregnancy that is fifth offered delivery to Mary (the long term Mary we of England), but Henry became preoccupied with siring a child. He became convinced that their wedding to his brother’s widow had been cursed by Jesus, or, as Catherine sings, “You state it is a shame ‘cause quoting Leviticus ‘I’ll find yourself kidiless all my entire life.’”
It’s commonly thought he utilized the Bible as a reason to divorce the Spanish princess with a want to marry her woman in waiting, Anne Boleyn. Catherine had been furious he cast her aside; she had tolerated their affairs (“I’ve never destroyed control no matter what times that are many knew you lied”) as any Queen ended up being expected. Furthermore, Catherine maintained that she had never ever consummated her marriage to Arthur—so that’s the wedding that has been null. Complicated, we realize. Once the track ourtime profile shows, Catherine refused an annulment, claiming until her death that she had been the rightful Queen. Catherine had been provided for a” that is“nun-ry ultimately relocated to The greater Castle. She passed away in 1536 in the chronilogical age of 50, nevertheless maintaining she had been really the only genuine wife of Henry VIII.
Anne Boleyn Queen from 1533–1536Though affairs amongst the King along with his Queen’s feamales in waiting were common and anticipated, no body expected him to go out of Catherine to wed Anne—the sibling of their mistress that is former that. Anne spent my youth at the court regarding the Queen of France before coming back house to England to participate the court that is royal.
Anne Boleyn is usually depicted while the wife that is devious presumably plotting to dethrone Catherine—unsatisfied to be merely a mistress, “some girl in a threesome.” Henry and Anne married in key January 25, 1533; they got the Archbishop to declare Henry’s marriage to Catherine null and their brand new wedding to Anne valid—thus breaking through the Catholic Church and starting the Church of England. Anne ended up being crowned queen June 1, 1533; she quickly gave delivery to a woman, the near future Elizabeth I. But after three miscarriages, Henry took a mistress that is new Jane Seymour. Needing means to rid himself of Anne, Henry advertised that Anne had bewitched him as he ended up being hitched to Catherine. Anne maybe flirted with a few men “just in order to make him jel,” but that merely resulted in accusations of adultery and incest. She had been beheaded during the Tower of London may 15, 1536, at age 35.
Fun reality: Historians think Henry VIII had written “Greensleeves” for Anne Boleyn, who he had been attempting to woo. Ergo, the techno remix of “Greensleeves” in “Ex-Wives.”
Jane Seymour Queen from 1536–1537Just as Anne Boleyn overtook the lady she served, Jane Seymour had been a lady-in-waiting to Queen Anne, after serving Queen Catherine. Henry VIII became betrothed to Jane one after Anne’s execution day. Jane offered delivery up to a son, Edward, in 1537 and died two weeks later of postnatal complications october. Jane is normally regarded as the favourite, if it she sings that “without my son your love could vanish. as she actually is really the only spouse Henry freely mourned as well as the only 1 to receive a queen’s funeral, and that’s why her song in Six is the most like an electric ballad—even” Henry VIII had been fundamentally hidden beside her at Windsor Castle.
Anne of Cleves Queen from January 1540–July 1540Anne of Cleves lasted just sixth months as Queen, but she kept her mind. Musician Hans Holbein the Younger went along to Germany to paint Anne and her cousin, as Henry VIII considered which may be their 4th spouse. (We find out about these travels in “Haus of Holbein.”)
Nevertheless when Anne arrived after her portrait, Henry felt she “didn’t did look that is n’t her profile image.” She revealed a basic not enough elegance, “sippin’ on mead and I also spill it on my dress,” which additionally displeased the royal. Essentially, the king made excuses for their displeasure her, saying there was no way she was a virgin when they wed with her and found another excuse to be rid of. Awarded an annulment, Anne stayed in benefit utilizing the King and frequently checked out court through the reigns associated with last two queens. She passed away in 1557.
Catherine Howard Queen from 1540–1541Catherine, better called Kitty, ended up being very very very long the item of intimate attention as recommended in “All You Wanna Do.” She had been molested by her music instructor, Henry Mannox, as he ended up being 36 ( perhaps perhaps perhaps not 23 as Six states) and she 13. At 15, she relocated along with her grandmother, “the dowager Duchess,” and became fans with “sexy secretary” Francis Dereham—an event that will visited haunt her later. Her grandmother discovered the affair and delivered her towards the Tudor court.
Like her relative, Anne Boleyn, she served as being a lady-in-waiting however in the court of Anne of Cleves. The master had been 49 yrs . old as he married the 16-year-old. Nevertheless the gossips at court—some of who had witnessed Dereham—quickly spread word to her behavior that Catherine had been committing adultery behind Henry’s straight straight back with Henry’s courtier Thomas Culpeper. Culpepper, Dereham, and Catherine had been all performed (Dereham ended up being drawn and quartered). Catherine, beheaded February 13, 1542, ended up being hidden within an unmarked grave.
Catherine Parr Queen from 1543-1547The wife that is final of VIII lived in constant concern about her very own execution. Ahead of her marriage to King Henry VIII, she had two past husbands and ended up being widowed both in instances. She had dropped in deep love with Thomas Seymour (Jane’s cousin) before she caught the optical attention for the King. Plus in “I Don’t Need Your Love,” she pleads with Thomas to leave her alone to truly save them both through the King’s wrath and particular death.
By the right time she wed Henry, he had been 52 as well as in ill wellness. Catherine ingratiated herself into the king by learning to be a mom to their three young ones: Catherine of Aragon’s Mary, Anne Boleyn’s Elizabeth, and Jane Seymour’s Edward. This woman is the one who restored Mary and Elizabeth’s royal standing therefore that they might come in the type of succession.
During her reign, Catherine ended up being the initial queen of England and Ireland; she has also been the queen most abundant in diplomatic impact since Catherine of Aragon, as she served as regent whenever Henry traveled to France once more. Catherine had been an advocate of reformation into the Church, Protestantism. In reality, she published books on prayer in her very own own name—and had been the very first Queen of England to take action. That she“fought for feminine training. so that it’s real” Before Henry VIII passed away January 28, 1547, he instructed that she be respected since the Queen of England even with their death—which is what took place. She stepped down through the throne whenever Prince Edward, Jane Seymour’s son, ended up being willing to ascend in 1547. This time around, she had been usually the one to re-marry, to gentleman regarding the court Thomas Seymour. She passed away September 5, 1548.

New businesses, jobs and homes as Fruit Market delivers regeneration vision
02nd Oct
Little more than three years since the launch of Hull’s most exciting urban regeneration project, the stunning transformation of the waterfront area is delivering on the vision for the Fruit Market as a vibrant area where people live, work and play.
What had become a largely derelict area, following the relocation of Hull’s wholesale fruit and veg trade, is now a growing urban village and home to a host of thriving independent businesses.
More than 20 new businesses have opened in and around Humber Street, creating more 250 jobs, with hundreds more in the wider Fruit Market area, which is now established as Hull’s hub for creative and tech talent.
The transformation has also enabled businesses that opened in the Fruit Market as temporary ventures before the regeneration drive to have a sustainable future as part of the bustling waterfront district.
The Fruit Market community now features independent businesses as diverse as an urban gym, a bridal boutique, a vintage clothing store, a convenience store full of local produce, Hull’s first gin bar and distillery and a range of restaurants serving tastes from around the world.
With more reasons to visit Hull’s hippest neighbourhood all the time, footfall in Humber Street is growing strongly and is currently up by 12% year on year.
The regeneration has also created a host of opportunities for Hull’s artistic community, including through the creation of Juice Studios on the first floor of 61-63 Humber Street, which has undergone a £1.2m redevelopment to make it a thriving centre for the creative arts.
Juice Studios is a vibrant space for Hull’s creative community, featuring a combination of dedicated and shared working spaces for creatives working in disciplines including printmaking, contemporary art, textiles and fashion design.
In addition, the Fruit Market has become a regular venue for pop-up artistic and cultural events, workshops, exhibitions and performances, many staged in the former Humber Fruit Brokers building at 66-68 Humber Street, which is provided free of charge to support community groups.
These cultural events have included a series of family-friendly productions, with the musical “The Lightless Pumpkin” – which will see a Halloween-themed parade make its way along Humber Street – scheduled for November during half term.
Ambiente Tapas was one of the first new businesses to open as the revival began, adding authentic Spanish cuisine to the Fruit Market’s dining options.
General manager Robert Wood said: “We saw the opportunity to open in Humber Street knowing the area had huge potential.
“We’ve watched the Fruit Market grow into a vibrant area, with a great atmosphere both in the evening and during the day. There’s been lots of investment from other independent businesses who share the vision of making the Fruit Market the go-to place in Hull.
“The regeneration is really bearing fruit now and we’re seeing a steady increase in footfall as more businesses open along the street. It’s a very exciting time.”
Among the most recent additions to Humber Street is homewares and house plants store Plant & Paint.
Owner Lara Roberts said: “I had very high hopes when I first moved to Humber Street and it’s been even better than I expected – I’m far busier than I ever imagined.
“There’s a great sense of community down here and the business owners are really friendly and supportive of each other – organising collaborations and joint events, to help us all do well.”
Opening her first shop in the ever-evolving Fruit Market district has transformed the profile of Lara’s business and enabled her to reach many new customers.
She added: “In the same way as it’s great for my customers to come and shop here, it’s also a really nice place for me to have a business. It was definitely the right move – I’m so glad I opened here!”
The rejuvenation of the waterfront district is being led by Wykeland Beal, the regeneration company formed by commercial developer Wykeland Group and housebuilder Beal Homes, as part of the Fruit Market LLP joint venture with Hull City Council.
In all, almost £8m has been invested by the Fruit Market LLP in the repair, restoration and conversion of the area’s historic former fruit and veg warehouses as well as in new buildings to replace structures that could not be saved.
The investment to bring Humber Street’s heritage back to life is a key element of the overall £80m regeneration of the Fruit Market, which also includes a high-quality residential development by Wykeland Beal of mews-style homes arranged around four private courtyards.
The development features a blend of property styles creating an attractive and highly desirable new neighbourhood amid the cobbled streets of the Fruit Market.
The new homes have proven hugely popular, with residents enjoying the contemporary lifestyle and vibrant atmosphere offered by Hull’s first urban village, with independent shops, restaurants, bars and galleries all on their doorstep.
Tom Watson, development surveyor for Wykeland, speaking on behalf of Wykeland Beal, said: “It’s encouraging to see how the Fruit Market community has developed, with our guidance and support.
“Our vision has always been to create a community of distinctive, independent businesses and that is very much what we now have. It means the businesses are owner-managed, are passionate about the area and all work together to make a significant contribution to the community.
“The combination of business, retail, leisure, office and residential uses is creating a well-rounded and sustainable community unlike anywhere else within the city or region.
“The Fruit Market is continuing to evolve, with new opportunities now available, especially for independent retail businesses. We’ve had lots of interest from local ventures that want to be part of the Fruit Market and share in its success.” | {"pred_label": "__label__wiki", "pred_label_prob": 0.7021443247795105, "wiki_prob": 0.7021443247795105, "source": "cc/2021-04/en_head_0055.json.gz/line194319"} |

Chrysler 300C SRT-8 Information Home
2012 Chrysler 300C SRT8:
As the king of the lineup, the 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 adds high-performance hardware to the elegant proportions and head turning design of the Chrysler 300C to provide the ultimate combination of world-class luxury, power and handling. With an estimated 465 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, the 300 SRT8 is targeted at customers that seek heart pounding, adrenaline filled excitement, but don't want to sacrifice comfort and innovative features to get it.
The Street and Racing Technology (SRT) performance engineering team builds upon the all-new 2011 Chrysler 300 sedan already executed for a world-class luxury experience, to deliver Chrysler's most powerful and best handling model ever.
Projected performance numbers include 0-60 mph acceleration in the high 4-second range; quarter mile in high 12 second range; 0-100-0 mph in less than 16 seconds, top speed of 175 mph and stopping power from 60-0 mph in 120 feet.
Owners of any Chrysler Group SRT vehicle receive one day of professional driving instruction from the Richard Petty Racing School as part of the SRT Track Experience, designed to maximize their driving knowledge and skills on the street or track. Sessions are held throughout the year at selected tracks.
The return of the 300 SRT8 to the Chrysler lineup in 2012 evokes a strong comparison to the original high-performance production car of its time - the 1955 Chrysler 300. Known for simple, strong lines, excellent engineering, high levels of luxury and outstanding performance with the first modern American V-8 engine to produce 300 horsepower, the first Chrysler 300 (C-300) was styled by Virgil Exner, who radically redesigned the entire Chrysler line and created what they called "The Forward Look" in 1955. Without much chrome on the sides, his designs were simple, but strong. Exner is credited with creating the illusion of fast, forward movement.
The Chrysler C-300 won on both the road course and the "flying mile" at Daytona in 1955. In 1956, the Chrysler 300B model won both events again. In fact, the Chrysler 300s dominated NASCAR competition in 1955 and 1956, taking the overall championship in both years. A legendary and luxurious performance car was born. The "letter cars" quickly became the most desirable of the Chrysler lineup and became known as the "Beautiful Brutes."
Awe-inspiring powertrain - Under the hood of the 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8, the new 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 makes its debut in the Chrysler brand product lineup delivering an estimated 465 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, up 40 horsepower and 45 lb.-ft. over the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 it replaces. For more information on the 2012 Chrysler 300c SRT8 HEMI visit here.
Outstanding ride and handling - New for 2012 is an Adaptive Damping Suspension (ADS) system that is tuned specifically for the Chrysler 300 SRT8 to offer a compliant and comfortable ride. The ADS system also uses a wide range of on-road and driver inputs - such as vehicle speed, steering angle, steering speed, brake torque, throttle position and lateral and vertical accelerations to automatically tune the suspension for specific conditions when necessary. For more on the ride and handling of the 2012 Chrysler 300c SRT8 visit here.
Safety and security - The all-new 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 features more than 70 advanced safety and security features, including standard Keyless Enter-N-Go and electronic stability control (ESC) with segment-exclusive Ready Alert Braking and Rain Brake Support safety features to improve overall vehicle handling and performance. For more information on the safety and security features of the 2012 Chrysler 300c SRT8 visit here.
Race inspired and functional interior - The all-new interior environment combines world-class luxury accommodations with performance-oriented technology and appointments. For more information on the interior features of the 2012 Chrysler 300c SRT8 visit here.
Aggressive and functional exterior with available Black Chrome Package - An exclusive new front fascia has a modern, yet timeless appearance that is carried through with the all-new grille and new Chrysler wing badge. The black chrome upper and lower grille surrounds and rear valance strip are part of the available Black Chrome Package. The 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 is one-half inch lower when compared to the base car and features new SRT-exclusive side sill cladding painted in matching body color for the "planted" look of a true sports sedan. The rear includes a unique lower fascia with chrome accent bar, new 4-inch round dual exhaust tips and a modified SRT8 decklid badge with new black accent. Rounding out the Black Chrome Package are the black chrome accent spear and exclusive black chrome wheels.

Despite being pretty decent fans of video games, we have to admit they’re not productive, at least in the traditional sense. Yes, they have the potential to tell great stories and to be cinematic, as we’ve covered before, but you’re not playing those types of games all the time. The reputation for slacking remains.
But one aspect of gaming can actually significantly boost your productivity, it seems. The video game soundtrack is an under-utilized tool to help increase your creativity and problem-solving skills.
Next time you’re grinding away on some project whose deadline feels like it’s slowly sapping your life away, consider throwing on a soundtrack in the background. It’ll likely take some of that pressure and stress away, while keeping you concentrated on the task at hand.
We’ve known about the benefits of music while you work for some time. Musical melodies can help increase dopamine production in the brain, the same chemical that’s released when you do something you enjoy. Eating, spending time with friends, generally accomplishing something, hunting the most dangerous game, all that stuff contributes to keeping you happy and releases dopamine when you do them. Music can strengthen that production. It keeps you in a good mood, focused, and calm.
Now, that’s probably not news to you. In fact, you might already listen to music at work. Plenty of employees do, using jazz or classical music to keep themselves working. What you may not have considered is listening to video game soundtracks at work.
These are soundtracks designed with progress in mind, so this all makes more sense than you might think. Gaming’s a more interactive hobby than film, so the music has to establish just as much mood as in film, without distracting from the interactivity. Take the music from the incinerator level of Portal. It’s a tense moment and the player’s going to have to think on their feet in quick bursts to get out of it. The music absolutely conveys that. But it conveys that without ever getting in the way of figuring out how to not get fire-murdered by a psychotic AI.
In fact, the whole of the Portal soundtrack illustrates the point. It has some of the more difficult puzzles we’ve encountered in gaming, and the music enhances the atmospheric tension of the game without ever getting in the way of the puzzles. If anything, these songs help us focus on the puzzles and help us solve them.
That’s the way game soundtracks are designed. Portal keeps you focused on puzzles. Fallout moves the cautious but stubborn explorer in you. The Legend of Zelda keeps you in awe of the open and optimistic world waiting for you to conquer it. Most sidescrolling platformers (think early Sonic and Mario games) have energetic beats that keep you running right. They’re all there to help you accomplish whatever objective has been set for you.
With that, we’d like to suggest a few sources you can go to for gaming soundtracks that will make your workday the fastest and most efficient it can be.
Pandora was not one of the first sources we thought of when we thought of video game music. It was actually the last. Not because it’s bad, just because we didn’t think of it. Nonetheless, you can indeed start a video game soundtrack station. Like other stations on Pandora, you can use the thumbs up and thumbs down to customize what you want to listen to. So if too much World of Warcraft and not enough Halo is coming up, you can fix that. Also, we’re not providing a link, because you can’t provide stations as hyperlinks, but if you have a Pandora account and are even vaguely interested in this, make the station. | {'timestamp': '2019-04-22T16:03:43Z', 'url': 'https://coolmaterial.com/media/the-surprising-reason-you-should-listen-to-video-game-soundtracks-at-work/', 'language': 'en', 'source': 'c4'} |
News Garrett College Plans To Resume On Campus Courses - Garrett College
Garrett College plans to resume on-campus courses
Modified policies, procedures being developed to safeguard staff, students
Garrett College announced Tuesday evening it envisions a return to on-campus classes for the Fall 2020 semester.
"I'm pleased to report that our Board of Trustees plans to return to on-campus classes," said Dr. Richard Midcap, Garrett College's president. "The faculty, staff and administration are working on a comprehensive plan so that our return to on-campus instruction is done in a manner that safeguards the health of our students and employees."
Like colleges and universities across the nation, Garrett College transitioned to an all-online instructional platform in response to the coronavirus pandemic for the second half of the spring semester. The College had already planned an all-online summer semester well before the pandemic.
"Our goal from the moment we shifted to an all-online format was to be prepared to return to an on-campus environment for the fall semester," said Midcap. "We will make sure our return plan aligns with any of Governor [Larry] Hogan's executive orders that remain in place as well as CDC [Centers for Disease Control] guidance."
Midcap lauded the efforts of faculty, staff and students to finish the spring semester in an online format.
"Our faculty and staff moved quickly to ensure instruction and student support could continue online this spring," said Midcap. "And our students – many of whom had not previously taken any online courses – worked hard to adapt to that environment."
Midcap said faculty and staff are working on a plan that will include lower course section limits to promote social distancing and enhanced cleaning procedures and other mitigation strategies.
"We're currently engaged in comprehensive planning for the fall semester," said Midcap. "Our cross-divisional college leadership team is meeting twice weekly to work out details such as optimal class sizes to encourage social distancing, acquisition of PPE [personal protective equipment] and appropriate daily cleaning protocols, including between classes. Our faculty is working on how they plan to deliver academic programming with reduced room caps.
"While we are planning to return to campus, we are also preparing to respond should there be another virus surge that interrupts face-to-face instruction and other activities," added Midcap. "Our top priority is to ensure safe operations of the college."
Midcap indicated employees are excited about the impending return to on-campus operations.
"I've had many employees tell me how much they miss face-to-face interaction with our students," said Midcap. "And I feel the same way."
College employees, who have been working from home since March, will start to return to campus in a phased-in approach that aligns with the state's Roadmap to Recovery plan and other state directives. The fall semester starts September 9th.

Heerlen - The Netherlands, Saturday June 12th 2010 'DNNB pt. 25' ft.
After beginning this year with banging editions feat. Noisia, The Qemists (UK), TREi (NZ), Nymfo (NL) & Netsky (B) DNNB continues the season with another big name in the current dnb-scene: SPOR (UK)!
Since february 2007 the city of Heerlen (The Netherlands - Provence Limburg, Euregion Maastricht, Liege & Aachen) has put drum 'n bass music back on their map with the succesfull start of Drum NN Bass.
DNNB has become a meetingpoint for dnb-heads all over The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and beyond. Our stage is represented by many countries like: The UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Greece, Norway, USA, New Zealand and many more to come. We don't build on attitudes or reputations, we rely on good vibes and a smillin' massive. Major artists like Andy C, SPOR, Noisia, Black Sun Empire, Dirtyphonics, The Qemists and more are part of the DNNB 3 year Legacy.
The 25th edition is headlined by UK artist SPOR. His 'Aztec'-track is a classic on dancefloors around the world. From Belgium we invited also MC D.O.C. from the former 'Dedkob Kru' and 'Maaskant Massive' DJ Mindkiller (a.k.a. DRX ). Our own VJ Loudanov will light up your night with DNNB's Bastine behind the decks to begin & close this amazing night.
Jon Gooch, more commonly known by his stage name Spor, is a drum & bass producer and DJ from Hertfordshire, England. Spor obtained his name from one of the first set of samples he collected, entitled 'Spore Tactics', and a favorite piece of artwork by a friend, Karl Kwasny. However he soon dropped the "e" from the word to balance the arrangement of letters when displayed in a graffiti style. After a school friend introduced Jon to the world of Drum & Bass he began experimenting with software to create his own music.
Spor quickly attracted attention from big names in Drum & Bass, and finally secured a deal with one of the most revered labels in the industry; 'Renegade Hardware'. Much of his work was released through this label, and soon Jon began DJing sets. He has also released work under the name 'Final Reckoning' with Codex. Spor has since then been traversing the globe playing his music at clubs across the world. After a successful partnership with Renegade Hardware and Barcode Recordings, and releases with Teebee's Subtitles Recordings, Spor and long-time friend Chris Renegade from Renegade Hardware launched Lifted Music with fellow dark Drum & Bass producers Apex, jd1043 (justin), Evol Intent and Ewun.
Spor's electro house side project, Feed Me, has also been rather successful. A two track EP has been released under Deadmau5's label, mau5trap, along with a track on Noisia's label as well.
Spor is expected to release an album for Lifted Music in the summer of 2010.
Fascinated by the early Beastie Boys and the rawness of Wu-Tang, D.O.C. started writing in 1995. While collaborating with many other L-Burg mc's, he defines himself as an anti-average mc, fighting against the stereotypes and boundaries associated with the hip hop industry. At that same time he gets gets hooked on graffiti. He takes on the name ShoZ One and participates in several local graffiti projects. After teaming up with different writers and crews he joins Jungle Tactics in 2000. Later on that year they threw a legendary graffiti jam in the old mine buildings in Genk.
At the end of 2000 he was given the opportunity to expose his lyricism over drum & bass alongside different dj's and crews. Impressed by the energy and the feedback from the crowd, he decides to become a fulltime drum'n'bass mc. Nevertheless he remains active on the hip hop side of things. After more then a decade of mc-ing, D.O.C. became an infamous name in the Belgian drum'n bass scene.
In 2002 he becomes one of the founding members of Dedkob; a collaborations of several writers, dj's, mc's, graphic designers and organizers. They take on the scene by storm, and Dedkob became an infamous name in the Belgian and international scene. After performing at many local venues and at several bigger festivals & graffiti jam, he continues to innovate and tries to create a positive image of lyricism in both hiphop and drum'n'bass.
Right now D.O.C.'s hitting the studio with a brand new hiphop project called "LEGENDS OF GREYTOWN".

Anni Albers’ and Alex Reed’s Jewelry Collection

Not by nature acquisitive and certainly not art collectors, Josef and Anni Albers began in 1936 to collect Mexican figurines and other artifacts unearthed from that land’s memory. They described the country, which they first visited in 1935, as “the promised land of abstract art.” Returning to Black Mountain College Anni Albers and Alexander Reed began experimenting with everyday articles to create a strange and beautiful collection of objects of personal adornment inspired by their visit to Mexico.
“Walter Benjamin, compared ‘memory . . . the medium of past experience . . .’ to ‘the ground (which) is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.’”1

Not by nature acquisitive and certainly not art collectors, Josef and Anni Albers began in 1936 to collect Mexican figurines and other artifacts unearthed from that land’s memory. They described the country, which they first visited in 1935, as “the promised land of abstract art.”2 By collecting these buried remains of an ancient abstract art they transported the past into their own present. Their encounter with the ancient Zapotec jewelry discovered in Tomb 7 of the Monte Albán complex was a defining moment in what became a lifelong obsession. Now renowned as an example of Zapotec architecture, in the 1930s this archaeological site on the outskirts of Oaxaca was still being excavated.
Made using gold, silver, rock crystal, stones, shells and simple beads arranged in striking juxtapositions, the artifacts recovered from Tomb 7 were on display in the local museum (now the Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca) when Josef Albers photographed them in July 1939. The Alberses were traveling with their friend and student Alexander “Bill” Reed. Anni’s parents had arrived in Veracruz as refugees from Nazi Germany just a few weeks before. They were among the fortunate ones who had managed, with significant difficulty and hardship, to escape Germany barely three months before the war began. Now they were safe in Mexico, where Josef and Anni Albers had found a contemplative space that nourished their art.
Returning to Black Mountain College that August, and inspired by the Monte Albán “trésor,” (as Anni’s named it) Albers and Reed began experimenting with everyday articles to create a strange and beautiful collection of objects of personal adornment. Their jewelry refused precious materials, relying instead on objects of utility—paperclips, bottle tops, hair pins, pencil erasers, cotton reels and washers—disassociated from their useful duties to create evocative forms and contrasts. Albers and Reed came to understand jewelry not as ornaments made valuable by the presence of rare gems and precious metals but by what the makers infused them with. They estimated the process of making, its “surprise and inventiveness,” bestowed their jewelry with a spiritual rather than material value, giving it meaning and clearing the path for “a new way of seeing.” In May 1941, a selection of their jewelry pieces was exhibited at the Willard Gallery in New York City.

In December 1941, the United States entered the Second World War. The previous year, as the US began to draft men into military service, the US Congress enacted laws allowing conscientious objectors to apply for alternative service. Bill Reed, a Quaker, registered as a conscientious objector and by 1941 had left BMC for a Quaker work camp in Pennsylvania. Anni Albers giving a talk at Black Mountain College in May 1942 was asked to refer in some way to defense work—work that, as Albers put it, “in the minds of so many of us [is] the most urgent work of the moment.” Most likely with Reed in mind, she chose to talk about their work together:
“Though our work has nothing to do with defense work, there was something right in asking [us] to connect it with it … [since] for many of us our work cannot be that of going into a munitions factory or of helping those who suffer in this war in a direct way. … To give our actions the meaning we want them to have implies questioning them anew … we felt our experiments perhaps could help to point out the merely transient value we attach to things … we tried to show that spiritual values are truly dominant … our work suggested that jewels no longer were the reserved privilege of the few, but property of everyone who cared to look about and was open to the beauty of the simple things around us.”

It was characteristic of Anni Albers to take the long and contemplative view. The Bauhaus, which she joined soon after the First World War, was in 1922 a refuge from a world beset by a “confusion of upset beliefs.”3 After 1933, as she and Josef discovered a new haven in Mexico, her deep empathy with the long buried and often forgotten ancient cultures of the Americas was always present in her daily thinking, informing her responses to the world. From this other “old” world she drew the courage and insight that, facing a new catastrophic world event, allowed her to affirm to her audience of May 1942 that:
“If we can more and more free ourselves from values other than spiritual, I believe we are going in the right direction. Every general movement is carried by small parts, by single people forming their way of believing and subordinating everything to this belief. We have to work from where we are. But just as you can go everywhere from any given point, so too the idea of any work, however small, can flow into an idea of true momentum.”4

Don’t Breathe Normal: Read Souffles! — On Decolonizing Culture
The need for a synthesis of the arts and, with this, a change of pedagogical principles, was not only present at the beginning of the twentieth century (forces that prompted the Bauhaus’s foundation), but after WWII as well, during the “Short Century” of decolonization. . This second modern movement and its relation to modernism and the vernacular, the hand made, and the everyday was vividly expressed through texts and art works published in the Moroccan quarterly magazine Souffles, published beginning in the mid-1960s by a group of writers and artists in Rabat, Casablanca and Paris. → more | {"pred_label": "__label__wiki", "pred_label_prob": 0.6679882407188416, "wiki_prob": 0.6679882407188416, "source": "cc/2019-30/en_head_0027.json.gz/line480273"} |
