Coco Rocha could not have been more wrong about Lady Gaga's meat dress
Amy Andrews
Before the VMAs this year MTV caught up Irish Canadian model, Coco Rocha, to ask her what she thought Lady Gaga would wear to the awards this year.
Some of her outfits in the past have shocked and wowed. For example there was the Kermit the Frog outfit the face full of pearls but the dress of meat seems to have really caught people's attention. As much as people are giving out about it you can't deny that it has caused a stir.
Coco Rocha presented the MTV.com "Red Carpet Report" and she mused over what Lady Gaga might have worn this year.
She said "I've been thinking about Lady Gaga, and I feel like she's going to come as her alter ego. I think she's going to come as the male version...Or, plain, simple. I don't think she's going to try and go above and beyond again. She's done it."
Apparently she had not done. I think she has now though!

#TakeHerToChurch2016: The First Official Mind Equals Blown Wedding
By Sarah McGonagle · On September 26, 2016
Music has always bridged the gap between people, forming connections that are made that much more strong because of this shared admiration. Certain songs can bring two people back to a moment in time, certain artists can invoke emotions that are so intimately shared, certain albums can serve as the soundtrack to the journey taken together. Here at Mind Equals Blown, we have always been bound together by our unanimous love for music and the impact it's had on each of us, forming a bond between each other from across the world and working together to share our passion. Some of us have become close friends, confidantes, and, as of September 24th, 2016, two of our writers have become husband and wife.
To write about Jarrod and Chelsey Church and the unbreakable connection they have is like daydreaming; it happened so effortlessly, so fluidly, and plays out like a true fairytale. She was a writer; he was her editor. For years they worked alongside one another, knowing of the other but never really reaching out to one another on a non-professional basis. After both getting out of serious relationships, they began talking more about music, work, and life, building a friendship that they never expected to become more. So when Jarrod took a risk and flew out to see Chelsey for the first time, he adamantly tried to convince himself the whole time that this was just a casual encounter between peers. But that all changed when they laid eyes on each other and the inevitable conclusion sunk in: they were looking into the eyes of their future spouse.
Within a few months they were engaged and planning their futures with one another, without a single doubt in their mind. Over the next two years of wedding planning, apartment hunting, and adding a new addition to the family in the form of their puppy, Dexter, their love only grew stronger. Seeing the way they look at each other, respect one another, and truly care to immerse themselves in the other's lives is something that is incomparable to the more hasty relationships of today, an unbreakable connection that many spend their whole lives searching for.
When I first met Jarrod, I was an amateur photographer with little to no experience who desperately wanted to pursue music photography. Introduced to each other based on our shared obsession with Paramore, he agreed to check out some of my work to see if I would be a good fit for the MEB team. Without hesitation he welcomed me aboard, opening my world up to enormous opportunities to harness my craft. With each shoot or review posted, he and Chelsey would comment with words of motivation, pushing me to test my own limits.
They were constantly supporting me, so when they asked me to take their engagement photos, I was thrilled to be a part of this journey they were taking together. I met Chelsey for the first time the morning of the shoot, and for me it immediately clicked: I was in the presence of something I had rarely ever seen. I've photographed thousands of people in my career, but I've never had a photo session that felt so natural. It was so easy to capture how they felt about each other, so easy to see just what made them so perfectly matched. It was so much more than just similar music tastes at that point, this was unadulterated love.
Being asked to also photograph their wedding day is one of the greatest honors I've ever had. As a photographer, my main goal has always been to encapsulate completely truthful moments that the world needs to see, and the unity of these two incredible individuals and their two families was undoubtably one of them. I have never been in the presence of something so totally honest and beautiful, from the look in Jarrod's eyes when he first saw his bride making her way down the aisle, to the mixing of two beers from their hometowns in a touching unity ceremony; from the tears Chelsey shed as they held each other and intimately whispered their vows into one another's ear, to the kiss that proclaimed them husband and wife. Just like the two of them together, the entire experience was perfect, right down to the playlist they put together for the ceremony, which included the bands that had brought them together in the first place, like Alkaline Trio, The Devil Wears Prada, A Day to Remember, and so many others.
I speak for each of us here at Mind Equals Blown when I say that this site is truly something special. Without it, we all would not have met some of our closest friends, I would not be a photographer, and Jarrod and Chelsey would never have found each other, the missing piece that truly makes them whole. They compliment each other in every way, from their shared love for a good brew to their laid-back demeanor that make them so easy to fall in love with. It's been a real privilege to have seen this relationship grow and flourish within our small MEB community, and we couldn't be more thrilled for the lovely couple on their nuptials. There are no two people more perfectly matched, no two people who love and cherish each other so deeply, and I am so grateful to have met them, worked with them, and now, commemorated their devotion to each other.
Below are some of the most precious moments from the ceremony, from their first look at each other as the bride descended down the aisle to the congratulatory cigar. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Church from everyone here at Mind Equals Blown, we love you guys and we are wishing you all of the happiness in the world!

About Claude Chabrol
CC BY 3.0 - Image by Thore Siebrands
Claude Henri Jean Chabrol (French: [klod ʃabʁɔl]; 24 June 1930 – 12 September 2010) was a French film director and a member of the French New Wave (nouvelle vague) group of filmmakers who first came to prominence at the end of the 1950s. Like his colleagues and contemporaries Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, Chabrol was a critic for the influential film magazine Cahiers du cinéma before beginning his career as a film maker.
Chabrol's career began with Le Beau Serge (1958), inspired by Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (1943). Thrillers became something of a trademark for Chabrol, with an approach characterized by a distanced objectivity. This is especially apparent in Les Biches (1968), La Femme infidèle (1969), and Le Boucher (1970) – all fea…Read more on Wikipedia

Q: Does dx in dA=dx*dy represent change, or is it a notation that denotes an infinitesimal arbitrary length? Change vs. an arbitrary physical length I'm not sure how to explain this, but I have a gap in my understanding of infinitesimals/differentials. I've so far had calc 1 and 2, and have been taught that dy/dx represents a slope, which represents a change. So, my current understanding is if I had a function dy/dx(x) and plugged in x, I could deduce how much of a change in y I could expect, if I moved a unit x, at that particular x of interest.
Where my understanding falls apart is, I don't see how dx in a slope, which represents change, would also represent "change" in dA=dx*dy. I mean in the classical meaning of the word change. I know we could say "well in the same way delta X is a change in x and represents length", but I don't view it as such.
Not sure if this is related, but here's another thing bothering me, say we have P=dF/dA. Why dF and not only F? I understand dA would represent this infinitesimal area, but what does dF represent then? It's supposed to be a change in F, right? Why do we need a change?
I'd really appreciate someone clearing this up or me, because I'm expected to pass a fluid mechanics test while our uni doesn't even offer a calc 3 course. You can understand my frustration.
Thanks

A: Well, if you take any function $f$ which admits derivative, then you may write:
$$f'(x)\qquad\text{or}\qquad\frac{df}{dx}(x)=\frac{d}{dx}f(x)$$
which are considered equivalent in notation. I guess you have been explained to take a variation $\Delta f$ and $\Delta x$, whose ratio represents a line which passes through the plot of $f$ in (at least) $2$ points. Then you think of derivation as making that line a tangent line on a point $x_{0}$. With 2 variables, say $x$ and $y$, the idea is somewhat the same. If $f(x,y)$ is now a real function in two variables, the plot will be in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ thus it is a sort of surface. In this new setting, the idea of tangent line sounds appealing but not good enough: if you imagine a sphere and a point on its surface, then you realize there are many tangent lines through that point: but only 1 tangent plane. A variation $\Delta x\Delta y$ is now a variation in the area, so we may write $\Delta A=\Delta x\Delta y$. Passing to infinitesimal variations, we would have $d A=dxdy$. Note this little discussion lacks of mathematical rigorousness and it is meant only to help you visualize what's going on.
In terms of notation, $P=\frac{dF}{dA}$ can be written as $P=\frac{d}{dA}F$ if it pleases you more.

As tempting as it might be to grab some ice cream this summer and just hunker down and relax, you don't want to be like me and regret it when fall rolls around! With all the delicious, high in calorie food around you, let's take a little bit of a break with some super lean green juice. It's got fruits that will give you the sweet taste you're looking for without being unhealthy.
I took a look at this recipe and fell in love with all the ingredients like celery, cucumbers, ginger, apples, and kale. When it comes to clean eating, there's nothing better that you can combine for fiber and sweetness all in one. I certainly felt better after having a few drinks of this, and was much more prepared to get jogging or start on my yoga.
Believe it or not, the simple cucumber has a lot of benefits for a healthy body. They're extremely low in calories, have lots of fiber in the skin, protect your skin against aging, and even reduce bad breath. I added them to my diet and really did see my skin start to improve over time. On top of that, they're over 90% water and are a great food for helping you stay hydrated! I could go on about how great cucumbers are, but I think you get the picture: they really are a superfood.
You don't hear about kale as much, but I've spent enough time looking for inspiration by watching cooking shows to really learn how great of an ingredient it is. It's high in fiber, has zero fat, Vitamin A, and is great for inflammation and cardiovascular support. I may be slowly getting up there in age, but this kale will help keep me young!
Combine your kale with a stalk of celery, which also includes those antioxidants, along with beneficial enzymes. If you're looking for a way to supplement your vitamins and minerals, celery has vitamin K, C, potassium, folates, and even B6. It can be hard to find all of these vitamins and minerals naturally, and if you don't want to take loads of supplements, the simple celery stalk is the perfect avenue for a healthy body.
Juice the kale, followed by half the apple. Then juice the celery followed by the remaining apple. Then add in the mind and finally the cucumber and lemon. Finally add the spirulina powder in the glass and mix with spoon. Pour over ice and drink immediately.
Always alternate between leafy greens and fruits and vegetables that have a higher level of water content. This will help the juicer extract all the juice out of the fruits and vegetables.
I can't tell you how tempted I always am by all the unhealthy snacks around me, especially when it comes to sweets! That's why I began to start my day with a delicious, and nutritious, dose of super lean green juice. Its sweet, had lots of nutrients, and helps me feel fuller longer so I can move on with my day without always thinking about my next meal. For you busy parents out there, this juice is perfect for keeping yourself healthy with ease.


Event Frodo and company come to Farmer Maggot's house; they move on and find Merry.
A Short Cut to Mushrooms is the fourth chapter in the first book of The Fellowship of the Ring.
When the adventurous Hobbits got up in the morning, they found that the elves had already left, leaving breakfast for them. Frodo decided to take a short cut through the woods, in order to avoid the Black Riders on the road. They heard strange and frightening noises along the way, and hurried along till they came to the farm of Farmer Maggot.
As a youngster, Frodo had been caught many a time stealing mushrooms from these fields and he was now afraid of Farmer Maggot and his dogs. His fear was eased when Maggot and the dogs greeted them and offered assistance. Farmer Maggot told the travellers that a stranger resembling the Black Rider had been asking questions about Frodo. Old Maggot advised Frodo not to get mixed up in these adventures, but he realized that Frodo would not change his mind. He offered to drive them to the ferry.
After supper, the travellers set off in the thick fog. Along the road they encountered what appeared to be a cloaked man atop a large horse. Assuming it was the Black Rider, they attempted to hide in the back of the wagon. The mysterious rider was in fact only Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck who had been on the road in search of the group. Farmer Maggot gave Frodo a basketful of mushrooms and bade them farewell.

Hardik Pandya opens up on his father-son like bond with Ricky Ponting
Posted On / June 4, 2020 / by Shubro Mukherjee
Ricky Ponting and Hardik Pandya. (Image Source: Twitter)
The Mumbai Indians' (MI) camp is renowned for treating its associates more like a family member. They have had some of the biggest names in world cricket serving their camp, who continue to be an integral part of their large unit.
Legends such as Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting have donned the jersey as a player, captain and also mentorship roles within the MI setup.
It becomes easier for budding cricketers to nurture their talent and progress to the higher level in the sport in the presence of such legends of the game.
India's marquee all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, was a discovery of the Mukesh Ambani-owned franchise, back in 2015.
During a recent interaction, Pandya hailed the former MI coach, Ponting, for taking care of him the most and also tagged their relationship as that of a father and son.
"Ricky Ponting was someone who looked after me the best. He looked after me like a child. I used to feel like he was my father figure there," Pandya told Harsha Bhogle during a chat with Cricbuzz.
"Ricky taught me so many things, he taught me situations, he taught me mindset, how strong you should be," added the swashbuckling Baroda batsman.
"As a new boy in 2015, I used to sit next to the hoardings. Ricky used to sit down with me and speak about the game. (With all these conversations) I started learning quickly," Pandya opined.
Later during the conversation, Pandya opened up on the nature of India's premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who also was a discovery of the Mumbai-based franchise.
Both went on to become an indispensable part of the Indian lineup in all formats. The two made international debuts in the 2015-2016 season during the Australian tour.
Also, both Bumrah and Hardik, along with captain Rohit Sharma, were retained by MI, ahead of the mega-auctions of 2018.
"Jassi (Bumrah) is a very different character. He's calm, but he's someone who likes to be left alone. If he has to talk to someone then he'll initiate the conversation," the 26-year old said.
"I can never be like him even if I try. He's knowledgeable, well-spoken, thinking 20 times before speaking. But he's someone who I enjoy being with. We have got success together and have genuinely shared success," concluded Pandya.

One of the most exciting scientific observations in decades is that eating the right food, with a focus on fruits and vegetables, can have a positive impact on the genetic activity of our cells. Eating a healthy diet can not only prevent disease, but it can heal chronic illness.
Despite this progress in epigenetics, I've found that if you start singing the praises of a vegan diet, you should prepare yourself for some pretty passionate backlash. (Think: John Belushi in the cafeteria fight in Animal House.)
Diet is not only a matter of nutrition science and clinical research, but it's also deeply rooted in upbringing, culture, family, and convenience. That's why, even though I strongly believe that a low-fat, plant-based diet is the best approach for personal (and planetary) health, and even though high fat meals have been shown to result in a rapid decline in the function of arteries, I realize that many people are going to continue to eat high-fat meals rich in animal products.
So, given that many of us are going to eat unhealthy meals occasionally, I wanted to look at what strategies can blunt the adverse effects of high fat foods and at least make the meal neutral to our health. Here are some ideas:
1. Eat a green vegetable with every meal.
A group of researchers at the University of Maryland looked at what happens to arteries after you eat meals rich in fat, including extra-virgin olive oil. They found that after eating a high-fat meal, people had a rapid decline in artery function. However, when they combined the same fatty meal with a salad, the decline was not observed. More recently, scientists saw that eating a hospital hamburger patty caused arteries to constrict in an unhealthy manner, but if the hamburger was combined with a slice of avocado the effect was not observed.
2. Drink grape juice.
Scientists in Chile studied volunteers fed a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in fat and saw that their arteries reacted in a healthier manner to stress when compared to volunteers eating a higher fat meal. However, when red wine was a consistent accompaniment to the high fat meal, there was a protective effect observed on the measurement of arterial health. A second study using purple grape juice saw the same protection.
3. Take an antioxidant-rich supplement.
In another study, subjects with heart disease were fed a high fat meal. Soon after, they experienced a drop in artery health. However, when they were given 2 grams of Vitamin C before the meal, the drop was not observed. In another study, a vitamin supplement made from powered fruit and vegetable concentrates blunted the drop in artery function compared to a placebo supplement.
4. Eat oats.
Another study looked at what happened to volunteers who were fed a high fat meal accompanied by oats. When subject ate a high fat meal, the usual drop in artery function was observed. However, when 60 grams of oatmeal was added to the meal, artery health tended to be preserved. The protective effect was not seen with wheat.
There is no doubt that advances in medical and nutrition science will result in opportunities for an increasing lifespan over the next few decades. The impact of simple lifestyle decisions regarding food, movement, stress management, and sleep have been revealed in large research databases. Your fork can determine your fate.
The strategies described here can protect your health from the artery damage following a meal high in animal sources. The US Food Plate introduced in 2011 recommends half of your plate be covered by vegetables and fruits, a quarter by grains, and the remainder by your choice of protein. Perhaps for the first time, Big Brother seems to have gotten this one right.

How New Zealand Will Benefit From Australia's Booming Economy
There are several ways for New Zealand to benefit from Australia's booming economy. The ANZAC dollar and the trans-Tasman trade are just two examples. China's presence in the South Pacific is another reason for the country to benefit from Australia's thriving economy. And if you're a New Zealander, you can enjoy the ANZAC dollar's low value and Australia's growing economy at the same time.
Trans-Tasman travel arrangement
Both countries have free trade zones and allow Australians to live and work in New Zealand with limitations. The Tran-Tasman Travel Arrangement(TTTA) came into effect in 1973 and allows for the free movement of citizens to travel between the two countries to live and work indefinitely. Residents of each country moving to New Zealand or Australia benefits both countries as it allows for skilled migrants to be shared amongst the two countries. Every year, moving companies in NZ and AUS see an uptick of moving house quotes due to migrants across the Tasman. Both countries also have reciprocal agreements in certain areas, such as investment.
ANZAC dollar
A thriving Australian economy will help New Zealand's economy, and vice versa. Both countries have been in the process of flotation of their currencies. The Australian dollar floated in December 1983, and the New Zealand dollar followed in March 1985. Australia's thriving economy is a huge boom for both countries. But New Zealand is not yet ready to adopt the Aussie dollar, which will mean that it will need to wait until at least 20 years before it will be fully functional in the New Zealand market.
Australia's economy has grown steadily for decades, largely due to the nation's strong financial backbone and low unemployment rates. This growth is also driven by increasing demand in China and Asia, and New Zealand will be able to benefit from Australia's booming economy by exporting its agricultural goods. However, New Zealand has also had to face its own problems, which has resulted in slow economic growth.
Growth in Trans-Tasman Trade
The Australasian nations benefit from each other's economies. Both countries have an impressive track record of international trade, accounting for around 18% of GDP. Both countries have excellent logistics systems and take advantage of free trade agreements. Despite this, New Zealand is struggling to recover from the devastating Christchurch earthquake. Growth in trans-Tasman trade will benefit New Zealand from Australia's booming economy.
Free trade between the two countries was first facilitated by the Australia-New Zealand Trade Agreement (ANZCERTA), which was signed in 1922. The ANZCERTA facilitated trade in goods that met its rules of origin. Since 1 July 1990, goods meeting the ANZCERTA rules of origin have been duty-free and subject to no quantitative import restrictions. A recent review of ANZCERTA ROOs recommended that the rules be changed from Product Specific Rules to Change of Tariff Classification-only rules. In addition, New Zealand and Australia officials recently negotiated an Investment Protocol, with details to follow during the normal treaty making process.
Growth in U.S. goods exports to New Zealand
The U.S. and New Zealand have strong commercial ties. In 2010, U.S. exports to New Zealand totaled $10.8 billion, including $5 billion in goods and $5.7 billion in imports. In 2020, U.S. goods exports to New Zealand were expected to reach $3.2 billion, a decrease of 19.1% from 2019 levels but a 23% increase from 2010 levels. U.S. goods exports to New Zealand were led by aircraft, machinery, and special other (repairs and returns).
FDI between the two countries is growing rapidly. FDI from New Zealand to the United States will reach $12.9 billion by 2020, primarily in the manufacturing, wholesale trade, and financial services sectors. In the last year, U.S. firms invested in New Zealand totaled $3.4 billion. U.S. firms invested in New Zealand through joint ventures and local agents.
China's presence in the South Pacific
The Chinese have long been a dominant development partner in the South Pacific, but recent developments have made their presence there less attractive. Pacific governments are increasingly familiar with China's development model and have stepped up engagement in response to China's growth. At the same time, concerns about China's debt have increased, with Pacific governments increasingly scrutinising Chinese investments for sub-standard quality and inflated pricing. In addition, the region has limited debt space, making it difficult for China to provide budget-support to its own economies.
While Australia, New Zealand, and other countries in the region have a common interest in preserving their sovereignty, the rise of China's influence has caused confusion in the region. While the US and other western nations have largely opposed China's presence in the region, the two countries have also been pursuing a range of free trade initiatives and security interventions. These recent initiatives are welcomed by the PICs, as they keep China from becoming a hegemon in the South Pacific.
Changes in trade agreements between Australia and New Zealand
The Closer Economic Relations (CER) Agreement between Australia and New Zealand was first signed on 14 December 1982 and came into force on 1 January 1983. It governed free trade in goods and services. The two countries had annual trade of over AUD16 billion
The two countries share a long history as colonial powers and were founding members of various regional organisations. Both countries have historically played a major role as regional powers in the Pacific. Despite their geographical differences, they have remained close allies, sharing similar interests and concerns about decolonisation and state fragility.
What is Australia Going to Look Like This Next Decade?
The Australian population is growing at a rapid rate and by 2050, there will be an additional 50 to 100 million people living in major cities. The number of people will increase, but the property prices won't. Landowners may expect up to $84 billion more in financial returns. Australia's housing crisis has been one of its biggest challenges over the last 15 years, and this will continue to be a big economic problem for generations.
Climate change will be Australia's number-one priority
The climate crisis has already changed the world. Scientists have been using model-based climate scenarios to help decision-makers understand the impacts on the future climate. Australia is a party to the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol, and has been a party to international climate agreements since 1992. The Paris Agreement aims to limit the increase of global temperature to 1.5degC or below. Signatories of the agreement are required to submit climate plans, called Nationally Determined Contributions.
The new prime minister of Australia has already mentioned climate change four times in his maiden speech. He wanted to show the world what a new Australia looks like after a long history of inaction. Speaking at the Quad meeting in Tokyo, Albanese mentioned climate change and security. In his speech, he focused on the need to build resilience, adapt to climate change, and reduce emissions.
Australian companies need to adopt a different mentality to survive and prosper in periods of upheaval
The year 2021 will be a critical year for Australian companies, setting the tone for the next decade. Australian companies have historically performed well, with a relatively stable economy and shareholder returns, and they may have underestimated the impact of a decade of global upheaval. A key measure of a company's strategy is economic profit, or returns after cost of capital. Yet, Australian companies' economic profit has decreased by 71 percent over the past decade, whereas the United States saw its economic profit increase by only 14 percent.
This decline in economic profit can be attributed to a slower rate of reinvention. From 2009 to 2019, Australian companies grew at a roughly five-percent CAGR, but their returns on invested capital (ROI) were only two percentage points lower than their US peers. In this period, US companies saw their margins grow by two percentage points, while Australian companies saw theirs stay flat.
Australia's economy is vulnerable to external shocks
One of the most significant forces driving economic change is declining spending per person. This is accompanied by a downward trend in wages, a development that has already been confirmed by the RBA. Changes in global prices and demand can also cause economic shocks in Australia, particularly those affecting international business. Additionally, domestic factors can affect business performance, leading to more job losses and reduced innovation. In these circumstances, a government's response to external shocks is vital to avoid significant damage.
Japan's Pacific conquests had a greater financial impact on the Australian economy than the COVID-19 crisis did. The Australian government expects an underlying budget deficit of $85.8 billion in 2019/20 and $184.5 billion in 2020/21. Half of the spending support will come from wage subsidies, investment incentives and household income support. The rest of the budget will likely come from cash flow support to businesses.
Australia's population will increase by 50-100% by 2050
If current trends continue, Australia's population will increase by 50-105% by 2050. Australia has the world's 12th-largest population, but is the 55th most populated nation. With its uninhabitable deserts and bone-dry bush, Australia is also one of the most vulnerable nations to climate change. Despite this, Australia's population is increasing, mainly due to immigration.
With the population increasing, the burden on the government to provide enough resources to meet the rising demand, the government has signaled it will reduce migration intake, citing congestion as a major concern. Australia's population would remain at around 25 million in 2050, but Victoria and New South Wales would each have populations of seven to eight million. In 2050, this would create a severe housing affordability crisis, making the country a less attractive place to live.
Australia's coal mining industry will be hard to the left on climate
In a country where the government is threatening to ban coal mining, Australia's coal industry is cashing in on developing world demand and has pledged to go carbon-neutral by 2050. The government's plan, however, is speculative, short on details and long on speculative technology. And it promises not to affect coal exports.
Nevertheless, the mining industry has long driven the nation's economy. In a survey by the Sydney Morning Herald, only one-third of Australians believed coal power should be phased out within a decade. In short, Australia's coal industry might be hard to give up despite the majority of the population's desire for climate action. That said, the current government is a fossil fuel-friendly country, which means the coal mining industry will be hard to the left on climate in the next decade.


"Do U Wanna Come" is an uptempo neofunk dancefloor jam, written by s-endz, produced by s-endz and simon "subs" duggal, a homage to classic 70's funk likes james brown and the ohio players, but with a contemporary twist.
It was originally conceived in May 2008 at my home studio. I programmed the drums and played a synth bass part before writing all the lyrics. I did a rough vocal demo in July before taking it to simon's studio, where he added a guitar part and some synth stabs, and we re-recorded the vocals.
The song remained mostly the same throughout 2009 and 2010, before we came back to it in mid 2011, shortened it down, re-did all the synth parts, and did the final mix.
Do ya do ya wanna come?


MVDU forces partly closed the centre of Slavyansk; they blockaded the entrances to the city. On the square in front of the police department, patriot elements set tires on fire, taken from the barricade at the entrance to the building. Patriots erected a barricade on the bridge over the Nizhny Torets River on road going to Donetsk, in response to junta MVDU troops who shot at people from the village of Cherepkovka. Activists say they intend to bar access to the city to junta forces. Observers saw a helicopter loitering over the city. Due to the battle, most shops in Slavyansk remain shut. The patriot forces denied that any of their people are wounded, despite media reports to the contrary. RIA-Novosti got this in a phone conversation with one of the patriot leaders inside the building.

We love color! The array of choices in gemstones is totally mesmerizing. Remember the old days when "color" meant rubies, emeralds or sapphires? Well – no more. There are dazzling stones in every color imaginable and prices to fit every budget.
If you like red or pink you might consider rubelite or spinel, garnet, or pink sapphire or morganite. If you like green take a look at tsavorite and green tourmaline. Cool blue shades include aquamarine, blue topaz and blue zircon. Iolite and tanzanite are beautiful deep blue-purple shades. Spessartite is a vibrant orange while Imperial Topaz is a softer medium orange shade. And don't forget opal, peridot, jade and lapis lazuli.
When shopping for color gemstones whether at home or while traveling, there are some guidelines you can trust.
Do some research before you buy – either on-line or ask your favorite jeweler. All of the gemstones have unique properties that distinguish them one from another.
Ask specific questions about the stones you see. Are the finest stones light in color or darker? Does the faceting of the stone add to its brilliance and lively appearance? What is a general cost range for these stones?
Inquire if the stone has been treated, as this is routinely done for many gemstones. The treatments improve the quality of stones and frequently make genuine, but average gemstones more beautiful and more affordable. For example emeralds are usually oiled to improve the clarity and color. It is not uncommon for ruby and sapphire and zircon to be heat-treated to stabilize and enhance the color. Other gemstones might be coated, treated with light or chemicals or irradiated. All reputable jewelers should be able to discuss various treatments with you.
Ask the jeweler or dealer about the origin of the gemstone you are buying. Selecting a fine ruby in Myanmar(Burma) does not mean it's a Burmese Ruby. Or a beautiful turquoise piece may be purchased in Arizona but really be from China.
Expensive gemstones and finished pieces of jewelry should have some documents or an appraisal. Be sure to ask for detailed descriptions to be included on the sales slip and /or the business letterhead.
Always be clear about guarantees and return policies whenever buying gemstones.
We advise you to pick your favorite colors and enjoy one of nature's magnificent gifts to us.

And then:
var handleFileSelect = function(evt) {

        var target = evt.dataTransfer || evt.target;
        var file = target && target.files && target.files[0];
        (...)

In June 2018, Instagram had monthly active users of 1 billion. A huge leap from the previous 800 million in September 2017.
While there is a huge number of users on Instagram, not all of them are satisfied with what the social media has to offer.
The platform lacks a download button, after all.
If there is a video or photo that you want to save in your phone or desktop, you won't be able to download it directly from Instagram.
With a photo, you can just use your phone's screenshot facility. But what about the video that you want to download?
With GB Instagram, however, you can easily download photo/video and stories from Instagram.
This is a modded version of the Instagram APK where a new feature is added before it is released as a new version.
It was developed by Atnfas Hoak, the same person responsible for developing the popular modded version of WhatsApp GbWhatsApp. Along with Osama Ghareeb, Hoak developed a modded app that is safe to use and simultaneously with the original Instagram.
And this modded version of do come with plenty of features.
GB Instagram also comes with unlimited theme options on top of other features. Suffice it to say that this version of Instagram lets you do more than you normally would with just Instagram.
The developer, however, has taken precautions to ensure that the modded app is totally safe to use and that users don't get banned.
In one single device, both Instagram and GB Instagram can be installed and run simultaneously.
Visit third-party websites, such as GBInsta, where you can download reliable Android APK files.
Note: You won't find GB Instagram on the Google Play store as it is considered illegal.
After downloading, sideload the app on your Android device.
Locate the APK file and tap on it to start the installation process.
If you see a pop-up asking you to allow apps from Unknown Sources, adjust your mobile device's security settings.
Go to Security, toggle Unknown Sources.
Go back to the APK file and tap again.
Once done, change security settings to disallow apps from Unknown Sources.
Open the installed GB Instagram like you would the original app. You will be prompted to set up your account before you can start using it.
Runs similar to the normal app but with customization features. Choose from any of the available themes to change the look of your Instagram app.
Then, play around with its download features.
To download a video from Instagram, for example, just click on the menu key on the image. Find the download button and tap on it.

13.11.16 Meri Huch wins Hamdan Award for Medical Research Excellence 2015-2016
last modified Nov 16, 2016 12:17 PM
Gurdon Institute Group Leader Meri Huch has won a prestigious prize from the Dubai-based Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum Award for Medical Sciences
Prize-winner Meritxell Huch, Gurdon Institute
The Hamdan Award for Medical Research Excellence
This award has been given for 18 years in the general field of the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, and in 2015-2016 the topics are liver disorders (in which Meri wins), colon diseases and pancreatic diseases. The winners "are honored for the innovative methods and research that resulted in novel discoveries and inventions, which have made an enormous impact in their fields...[and]... have positively affected thousands of lives globally".
Meri Huch's prize will be presented at a ceremony in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 14th December 2016. This event takes place alongside the 9th Dubai International Conference for Medical Sciences, at which the award winners will deliver keynote presentations, and which focuses on gastroenterology and colon, liver and pancreatic diseases.
Prof Najib Al Khaja, Secretary General of the Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al Maktoum Award for Medical Sciences, explained in his letter to Meri that the award "is in recognition of your research focused on the contribution of stem cells to the regeneration of adult tissues (liver and pancreas) as well as the development of organoid cultures for these endodermal organs (stomach, liver and pancreas). You have established a new culture system that maintains the self-renewal status of liver stem cells in vitro, while differentiation towards functional liver cells can be induced by modulating key signalling pathways."
"I am extremely delighted, and very positively surprised", said Meri, "at having been awarded the Hamdan Award for Medical Research Excellence. It is an honour that, from all the excellent scientists studying liver biology and disease, the committee selected and valued our work on liver regeneration and our innovative human liver organoid cultures, for their potential to improve understanding of human liver biology and disease".
The award's patron is Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance. Sheikh Hamdan is also president of the Dubai Health Authority.
The other winners of the international prizes this year are all based in the USA and are: Harvey J. Alter of the Transfusion Medicine Department at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Centre, Maryland (Grand Hamden International Award); Sanford Markowitz from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio and David Tuveson, Deputy Director of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cancer Centre, New York (Hamdan Awards for Medical Research Excellence).

You are here: Home Local history in South Oxford 66 men of Grandpont, 1914-18 Ernest Webb
66 men - Ernest Webb
Photo courtesy of Bill MacCormick, www.gommecourt.co.uk
Ernest WEBB
Ernest Webb was born in the summer of 1889 in Oxford. He was one of ten children; his father, Frederick, had been born in 1853 in North Leigh near Witney, and his mother, Annie Elizabeth (née Norridge), had been born in 1853/54 in Combe near Woodstock [though the 1881 census gives her birth place as Kirtlington]. Frederick's father was an agricultural labourer; Annie's father was a mason and her mother was a glove-maker, a very common occupation for women in Woodstock and the surrounding villages. Frederick had done his apprenticeship as a blacksmith with a man called James Barnes, in Standlake, near Witney. He and Annie married in the summer of 1879 in Oxford. By 1881 they were living at 16 New Street in St Ebbe's [a street which no longer exists]. Frederick, now aged 28, was working as a blacksmith and the couple had two sons, Frederick junior (aged 1) and baby John.
By 1891 the family had moved a few doors down to 6 New Street, and in addition to Frederick (now age 11) and John (now 10), six more children had been born: George (9), Edith (7), William (6), Jesse (4), Ernest (1), and an unnamed child who had probably been born between Jesse and Ernest but who had died as an infant.
Two more children were born soon after: Ellen, (also known as Nellie) in 1891/92 and Lizzie in 1893/94. By 1897 the family had moved to 19 Edith Road in Grandpont. Webb is a common surname in Oxford and there were at least three other Webb families living in Grandpont around this time, in Marlborough Road and in Western Road (as well as others in New Hinksey) possibly all related.
Ernest's older sister Edith was baptised at St Matthew's church in Marlborough Road in May 1897, when she was 13. She was not at home when the census was taken in 1901 (possibly she had left to go into service) but the other surviving six brothers and two sisters still were: Frederick (now aged 21 and working as a carpenter); John (20 and working as a coach painter); George (18, a draper's assistant); William (15, a clerk); and Jesse, Ernest, Ellen and Lizzie (14, 11, 9 and 7 respectively) who were still at school.
In 1911 the Webbs continued to live at 19 Edith Road; father Frederick (now 58) was still working as a blacksmith, though now in a brewery (of which there were several in nearby St Thomas's parish). Six of his and Annies' children were still living at home: oldest son Frederick (now 31) was still working as a carpenter; John, aged 30, was still a coach painter; Jesse, 24, an accountant's clerk; Ernest, 21, now working as a coal merchant's assistant; and Ellen (or Nellie), 19, and Lizzie, 17, both drapers' assistants.
Ernest enlisted and became a Private with the 1/14 Battalion of the London Regiment (London Scottish), 'C' Company, service number 6406. The battalion was sent to France and Ernest was killed on 1 July 1916, aged 27, on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. The 1st/14th were part of 56 Division's attack on the village of Gommecourt on the battlefield's northern sector, designed to pin the Germans away from the main assault further south. Purposely the preparations for the attack in this area were not kept a secret, resulting in very high casualties.
Ernest's body was never recovered but he is named on the Thiepval Memorial. This is the memorial to the Missing of the Somme, which bears the names of more than 72,000 officers and men of the United Kingdom and South African forces who died in the Somme sector and have no known grave.
Ernest's older brothers William and Jesse also fought in the War but survived; William was a Gunner with the Royal Field Artillery, service no. 128317 and Jesse was a Private with the Army Service Corps, service no. S/344063.
Ernest's father Frederick died in December 1933, aged 81, and was buried at Rose Hill cemetery.


Because of its ability to play-back samples from the hard disk, HALion has advantages over rivals such as the Emagic EXS24 or Bitheadz Unity DS-1. And HALion's third-party sample-file format support is the best available.
Steinberg's HALion makes an ideal choice if you're looking for a software sampler to use with VST-compatible music applications. Each HALion plug-in that you load adds a virtual instrument with up to 256 voices that will play-back parts on up to 16 MIDI channels simultaneously – and in Cubase, you can load up to eight of these. HALion supports file resolutions from 8-bit up to 32-bit, and can import Akai, EMU, REX and several other useful sample file-formats. Comprehensive filters are provided, along with extensive modulation features, and a high-quality sample library is there to get you started. This consists of four CD-ROMs containing acoustic piano, nylon guitar, acoustic drums, percussion, finger bass, various electronic instrument sounds from Wizoo, and a selection of useful drum loops, music loops and vocal effects. All these sound very good, and I particularly liked the nylon guitar samples. However, you'll definitely need to use other sample libraries to give you the more comprehensive selection that most of today's music producers require. HALion's unique feature is that, unlike other samplers that have to load the entire samples into RAM, it can play-back samples of virtually any length – regardless of the amount of RAM installed in your computer. This is because HALion can play-back audio direct from a hard disk. But samples can never be triggered instantly from disks with any software sampler, so, with HALion, the initial portion of the sample is preloaded into the computer's RAM. This way, only a small fraction of a longer sample will reside in RAM, while the rest is streamed directly from disk. There are seven pages within the plug-in – selectable using the strip of buttons along the bottom of each plug-in window. The Waveloop page is similarly easy to use. Here you can set sustain and release loop-points for a sample – either graphically or numerically. The Envelope/Filter page features two envelope generators, a filter section and an amplifier section. The Modulation/Tune page lets you apply several modulators, and also contains two LFOs, tuning controls and a Voice Grouping section. The Options page lets you import external file formats and make memory settings, while the Channel/Program page shows the settings for HALion's 16 MIDI channels and its 12 virtual outputs. So, there's lots of controls, but these are all laid out very clearly and logically.

Home News Elizabeth Warren Rips Fed's 'Extreme' Interest Rates Hike As Anger Grows
Elizabeth Warren Rips Fed's 'Extreme' Interest Rates Hike As Anger Grows
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has criticized the Federal Reserve for its continued push to increase interest rates, suggesting further rises could threaten jobs.
"How many people need to lose their jobs before the Fed stops its extreme interest rate hikes?" Warren tweeted on Friday as reports suggested the Fed is planning to raise interest rates again this year.
The Fed, which is the U.S. central bank, is expected to raise interest rates by 0.25 percent at its next two meetings as part of ongoing efforts to tackle inflation, before pausing further rises.
On December 14, the Fed's rate-setting committee raised the benchmark rate by 0.5 percent, increasing its target rate into a range between 4.25 percent and 4.5 percent. That's the highest level in 15 years.
Warren has repeatedly criticized the Fed for interest rate hikes and warned that high interest rates could lead to a rise in unemployment.
On January 12, Warren tweeted: "Inflation has been slowing down for six months now. Families are getting relief. So before the Fed decides to jack up interest rates again and risk throwing millions of Americans out of work, they should take a look at the data."
Warren is not alone in her criticism of the Fed and the anger appears to be bipartisan.
Republican Senator Rick Scott shared an article from The Wall Street Journal to Twitter that reported that existing-home sales had declined.
"Reckless spending has severe consequences for our economy. As prices hit record highs in 2022, the Fed raised interest rates in an attempt to curb inflation," Scott said. "The result? Existing-home sales hit their lowest level since 2014."
Dion Rabouin, reporter with The Wall Street Journal, argued in a Twitter thread on Friday that the Fed was "ignoring its critics."
He said that the Fed "is raising interest rates at a pace we haven't seen in 40 years and to a level we haven't seen since the financial crisis."
"There are numerous accomplished, mainstream, highly credentialed people telling them that they are making a mistake. And the Fed is again ignoring these people and their very valid arguments that their actions are doing more harm than good," Rabouin said.
Inflation has been falling consistently since reaching near 40-year highs. The annualized rate of inflation in December was 6.5 percent, down from 7.1 percent in November in what will likely be seen as another indication that U.S. inflation had peaked after previously reaching a 40-year high.
That is an improvement but the Fed's target is an annualized inflation rate of 2 percent and the central bank has repeatedly indicated its intention to address inflation through interest rate rises.
While Warren has warned about the threat of unemployment, the U.S. unemployment rate has remained low and was 3.5 percent in December, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), while the country added 223,000 non-farm payroll jobs.
Newsweek has reached out to the Federal Reserve for comment.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) questions executives of the nation's largest banks during a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee hearing on Capitol Hill September 22, 2022 in Washington, DC. Warren has criticized the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates.

BIG TALKSpecial InterviewWe Must Put Constant Pressure on the Imperialist China
Formerly a commentator and executive chairman of conservative website Breitbart News, Stephen Bannon helped Donald J. Trump win the election as chief executive of his presidential campaign. Toshio Motoya spoke with Bannon – a holder of unique, distinguished views on world affairs – about topics including inside information about the United States-North Korea summit in February and the goals of the expanding China.
Trump will definitely be re-elected if he can get through the next few months
(M) Thank you for joining me today for this special interview.
(B) I am very honored to have been invited.
(M) You were the chief executive of Donald J. Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, and your carefully considered tactics helped him achieve victory. First, I want to say how much I respect you for this. The presidential election is not determined by the total number of votes, but rather according to the electoral college with a set number of electors in each state. It seems you succeeded due to your thorough knowledge of this system – you used a successful tactic of focusing on states where Trump was close to victory and avoiding efforts in those where he had no chance of winning.
(B) I think the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton campaign didn't understand this system. The popular vote and electoral college are as different as stroke play and match play in golf.
(M) Looking back at history, Republican policies have been more friendly to Japan. Democratic governments tend to have foreign policy that is more advantageous to China while excluding Japan. That is why I have long supported the Republican Party, and I definitely hoped for Trump to win. But in The United States and Japan alike, the media uniformly predicted a Clinton victory. I continued saying that Trump would triumph, and my prediction was right on the mark. The world fell into chaos during the eight years of the Democratic Barack Obama presidency. China continued expanding and augmenting its military power, while North Korea miniaturized nuclear weapons to a size that can be installed on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). If Clinton had won, I think the world would be in dire straits today.
(B) I agree with you 100%.
(M) You were senior counselor to the president until around seven months ago. The media made it sound like you were dismissed, but that wasn't my view of the situation. Many news reports depicted you as a type of shadow president, so I figured you felt Trump would have more freedom to act if you left your position and supported him behind the scenes.
(B) Yes, you are right. I got involved in Trump's campaign on August 14, 2016, 88 days before the election. Trump was lagging behind Clinton at that time with an approval rating of 14 points. I was chairman of Breitbart News, a conservative website endorsed by populists and nationalists, and I inspired these demographics to back Trump. I left the administration on August 1, 2017 because I realized I could more effectively help Trump from behind the scenes rather than in an official position.
(M) So I was right. Does that mean you have been supporting Trump ever since you stepped down as senior counselor to the president?
(B) In fact, this task has kept me busier since I left my position. Populist and nationalist support is essential to maintain the Trump administration. As I mentioned before, I have close ties with these people, and I am still working on Trump's behalf.
(M) When did you become acquainted with Trump?
(B) In 2010. Trump asked me for advice about running for president in the 2012 election, and I told him to hold off because he definitely could not beat Obama. Trump started preparing for the next election in 2014. I determined the general public – rather than the elites– as the demographic to target, and provided various types of support so Trump's policies could earn their understanding.
(M) Both Trump and I are real estate and hotel magnates. I comprehend his approach very well, possibly because we are businessmen in the same field and have similar ways of thinking. I hope and predict he will win re-election, but what do you think?
(B) Trump has been in danger for the past few months, including the congressional testimony of Michael Cohen, his former lawyer. If he can get through this, there will be absolutely no barriers to re-election.
(M) I am sure he will. If he wins, he will be in office until 2024. Vladimir Putin also won a fourth term and will be in power until 2024. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's term is until 2021, but he could stay in office until 2024 if the Liberal Democratic Party's (LDP) regulations are revised to allow four terms and he wins the party's presidential election. I think the world can be changed if Trump, Putin, and Abe are in office until 2024.
(B) I agree.
China's entire military budget is used for invasion preparations
(M) Trump and I also share an unsparing stance against China. In January 2017, the Chinese government criticized me for my book, which denies the Nanjing Massacre, being placed in APA Hotel rooms. As a result, APA Hotel rooms cannot be booked from China. I merely stated what I think is right, based on freedom of speech. I declared that, if there was any proof to refute what I said, I would welcome receiving it. The Chinese government did not respond. I've heard you also take a hard line on China.
(B) I believe China is our worst enemy.
(M) Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, who were backed by Deng Xiaoping, abided by the presidential limit of two five-year terms totaling 10 years. But Xi Jinping, the current president, has abolished this term limit. I cannot help but see this as an attempt by Xi to build his own empire, which is a threat to Japan.
(B) This is clear imperialism. Xi and the other extremists in the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) are using the One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative to expand their influence from East Asia to Europe and even Africa in an attempt to gain global hegemony.
(M) We must stop this trend. China is reclaiming reefs in the South China Sea to build military bases as a way to obstruct Japan's sea lanes and freedom of navigation (FON). The U.S. is opposing this by conducting FON operations in the South China Sea.
(B) China's strategy is to control the South and East China Seas and impede Japan's sea lanes.
(M) The Chinese navy does not control the Taiwan Strait, which is why Taiwan maintains its independence. However, China is stepping up its marine expansion and rapidly augmenting its naval power, including building at least two domestic aircraft carriers. Japan will be in danger if China captures Taiwan. Eventually, I think China would occupy Okinawa and turn Japan into one of its autonomous regions.
(B) You are 100% correct. China's entire military budget is used for invasion preparations – not one dollar is spent on self-defense. As you point out, China is making moves towards Taiwan as well as Japan and the Philippines. Japan and the U.S. are naval countries, but China is not. It is reclaiming reefs in the South China Sea and building air bases to gain naval power.
(M) I don't think the Chinese navy will be able to beat the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) any time soon. Still, China is rapidly allocating money to continually expand its armaments. President Ronald Reagan's continued military expansion in the 1980s put economic pressure on the Soviet Union and led to its defeat. Today, we are in the midst of a new Sino-American cold war. With the U.S. serving a central role, its allies must also increase their military capabilities to defeat China. And just like the Soviet Union, I hope democracy divides China into several countries that each become democratic themselves. I feel Japan should abolish its upper limit for defense spending, which is 1% of the GDP; expand the MSDF; and augment our submarines in particular.
(B) The U.S. has sufficient power in the military, economic, and intelligence realms today. China is a paper tiger. However, the issue is that the U.S. lacks sufficient political determination. The Soviet Union collapsed due to unceasing, continuous pressure from Western countries, such as Reagan, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and Japan. We must keep putting strong pressure on China in the same way.
(M) I feel this pressure is still too weak. In terms of domestic issues, China is repeatedly violating human rights and oppressing its citizens. It is persecuting the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where one million people are said to be incarcerated in prison camps; the Tibet Autonomous Region, where 70 years have passed since the invasion of Tibet; and Falun Gong. Despite this, the Sino-Japanese Journalist Exchange Agreement means Japanese journalists stationed in China cannot criticize China and report the truth. An agreement that limits accurate information and provides advantages to one country is in violation of freedom of speech. I believe the Japanese government must intervene and invalidate this agreement.
(B) I was not aware of that agreement.
(M) You should be able to find information about it. Japan cannot share accurate information about China, yet China and South Korea are spreading the fictitious Nanjing Massacre and comfort women stories. Many Japanese people become masochistic because they believe these falsehoods. I understand that former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who received a consulting fee from China, advised Trump after he took office.
(B) Kissinger requested an advisor position. He stated that China is ascending while Japan and the U.S. are declining, and that Japan and the U.S. should change based on an awareness of this situation. After all, the U.S. defeated the Soviet Union with a similar tactic.
(M) Among its population of 1.3 billion, 940 million Chinese people have household registers in rural areas. Eighty million of the remaining urban dwellers are members of the CPC. Among them, only the top 20 or 30 million people are enjoying affluent lives by exploiting the majority living in rural areas. The wealthy class sends its children to American universities and transfers their assets overseas so they can flee China at any time. I think the one-party CPC regime that allows this distorted system should be toppled.
(B) I agree 100%.
Trump hoped for a "big deal"
(M) North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un traveled by train to Hanoi, Vietnam, where his second summit meeting with Trump took place in February. I suspect he was lectured about many different things by China during that time. I feel like Xi and Trump are struggling to gain control of North Korea, and that Kim is skillfully making use of these circumstances.
(B) My view is somewhat different. North Korea is a vassal state of China. All of North Korea's technologies are from China, including nuclear weapons and ICBMs.
(M) I think North Korea detests China the most, and that its nuclear weapons are to guard against China. In 2004, there was a major explosion at Ryongchon Station near the North Korean border with China. This was an attempt by Chinese Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the CPC Jiang Zemin to assassinate Kim Jong Il (Kim Jong Un's father who refused to stop nuclear development). In any case, countries never give up the nuclear weapons they obtain. The only exception is South Africa, which abandoned its nuclear weapons because the white government didn't want to hand them over to the black government.
(B) I concur entirely about giving up nuclear weapons. Dictators also have them as a means of self-protection. Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, who abandoned nuclear development, met a violent end.
(M) If North Korea and South Korea were integrated to form a nuclear "Korean Federation" with a population of roughly 80 million people, it would serve as a Chinese underling to threaten Japan. We must be wary of this.
(B) As long as North Korea has nuclear weapons, the U.S. will not permit unification.
(M) But what if North Korea concealed these weapons? I think strict inspections must be conducted to prevent that.
(B) One condition in the summit meeting was that North Korea scrap its nuclear complex in Yongbyon, but Kim Jong Un seemed greatly surprised when Trump also referred to two other nuclear facilities. The U.S. is extremely capable of gathering such information, and I think an important point in the American-North Korean agreement will be stationing inspectors in North Korea with the authority to investigate all facilities.
(M) I agree. I think Trump did a great job at the summit by avoiding easy compromises. Did you give him any advice?
(B) No, that's Trump's own style. He was aiming for a "big deal." The comprehensive agreement was for the U.S. to provide economic aid with Japan in exchange for North Korea abandoning all of its weapons of mass destruction, including of course nuclear weapons but also missiles, biological, and chemical weapons. Kim Jong Un was not persuaded. Trump is a businessman, not a politician. The meeting ended without compromises because Trump's goal is to resolve the issue in the most correct way, not at the fastest speed.
(M) I believe Japan must have its own nuclear deterrence to maintain a balance of power against Chinese and North Korean nuclear weapons. My thinking is that Japan should revise its constitution, abolish the Three Non-Nuclear Principles, and conclude a nuclear sharing agreement with the U.S. like that with the four North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries.
(B) I think there would be a huge political cost for Japan having nuclear deterrence. China knows that, if North Korea attacked Japan, the U.S. would wage nuclear revenge against Chinese cities. I believe the nuclear umbrella is fully functional. During the negotiations, the U.S. is also including the condition of disposing of intermediate-range missiles that can threaten Japan, in addition to ICBMs. Some news reports say these are not included, but that is fake news.
(M) At the end of the interview, I always ask for a "word for the youth."
(B) I hope they will have courage. With courage, they will be able to do many things for the world.
(M) Thank you for joining me today.
