Christmas is an ancient feast that has many positive associations for people around the world. While the bible places the birth of Christ in Bethlehem it does not say when, but by the 4th century the Churches in the East were celebrating it on January 6 and the Churches of the West on December 25.
One thing is certain about Christmas is that it is rooted in many traditions and superstitions relating to nature that existed long before Christmas and many have continued in one form or another to the present day. The many strands of Christmas can be seen in the variety of different traditions associated with, or originating in, places all over Europe. These strands are, inter alia, the solstice, the Nativity, Saturnalia, Yuletide, St Nicholas, Father Christmas, and Grandfather Frost (Ded Moroz). read full story / add a comment
The Not-So-Subtle Art of Protesting:

In 1762 Jean Jacques Rousseau published his book, The Social Contract, in which he wrote,
"In Greece, all that the populace had to do, it did for itself; it was constantly assembled in the public square."
Rousseau was well aware of the importance of public spaces when it came to political change. Indeed, the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 showed the power of the populace against armed guards defending the medieval fortress, armory, and political prison in Paris which at the time represented royal authority. Interestingly enough, the decision had also been taken to replace the Bastille with an open public space and the fortress was demolished within five months. Since then many open public spaces around the world have been the centres of political activity. read full story / add a comment

NATO's Anarchist Brigades
international / anti-war / imperialism / opinion/analysis Monday September 25, 2017 23:38 by 1 of indy
This is a repost from Thierry Meyssan site and it discusses how the US military-intelligence industrial complex has co-opted the far Left, largely unrealized to themselves in the fight for US imperialism. The story of Kobane and Rojava got a surprising amount of coverage in the mainstream and that in itself is often a red flag because they don't give publicity for nothing unless there is a propaganda reason for it. While maybe a surprise to some, the US via it's pawns like Saudi Arabia and up to recently Turkey, were and are the main backers of ISIS in all it's forms, from support, logistics, weapons, oil-purchase, it is all part of a greater goal to destroy Syria, and use the Kurds to carve out their own state and in the process to give the US a bridgehead to attack Iran, break up Iraq, and permanently cripple Syria. The US will also ensure that if the Kurds manage to form their own state, they will setup it up to Balkanize it and leave it in a permanent state of war so they can play the old divide and conquer game. Over the previous decades the US has previously backed and then dropped the support for the Kurds many time and betrayed them. So while the Kurds may well deserve their own state, these things do not occur in a vaccum.
When the Russians were invited by Syria to support it in crushing ISIS in 2014 and so far they have gone along way and block the US's plan A for Syria, they came up with plan B to use the Kurds to achieve the goal. There is no doubt that there was and is a pre-existing left leaning movement within the Kurds and even with Anarchist tendencies or elements to it but it just seemed all too good to be true and the immense resources and budgets of US imperalism and it's NATO allies, has the means to control the show as outlined in Meyssan's article read full story / add a comment

The recent furore over Public Service Card (PSC) has highlighted the sly and underhand way the government has tried to introduce identity cards through the backdoor. In a typical fashion for the political system in Ireland, they have without any public discussion, legislation or clear thought tried to push this through to the unsuspecting public or at least most of them. Even the police state next door, the UK, rejected identity cards when the UK House of Lords rejected identity cards in early 2006. read full story / add a comment
The Stone Portals and mounds of Ireland
international / history and heritage / opinion/analysis Saturday August 19, 2017 14:43 by Sergey Smelyakov
My dear Irish friends,
Let me introduce the English version of my e-book The Stone Portals devoted to the study of prehistoric Stone artefacts, the first two Chapters (http://www.astrotheos.com/EPage_Portal_HOME.htm) of which I have just posted at my site www.astrotheos.com.
I appeal to you in connection with the fact that much of the material presented in Chapter 2 is devoted to the reconstruction of the prehistoric solar calendar of the Celts, the key days of which are reflected in the festivals (Samhain et al.), and in correlation with the astronomical alignments of the Passage Mounds, and before all – of the Mound of the Hostages, which I analyzed numerically for all the data that I had.
I would not be distracting your attention if the results obtained in relation to precise determining the exact days of these festivals on the alignments of the mounds would not coincide with the same values determined by the astronomical alignment of the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, and a number of other stone artefacts as well.
From my point of view, the results obtained could contribute not only to a more complete disclosure of the properties of these passage mounds and the ancient culture of the Celts in general, but also to that that in scientific, administrative, and esoteric circles, much more attention was paid to preserving and study of these remarkable objects.

The large vote for Corbyn's Labour socialist type policies shows that moving to the Left rather than the centre resonates with the masses and shows that things like issues of health, education and jobs are core issues and perhaps shows a sign that a certain section of the population is beginning to notice that practically every political party is infested with banking and corporate favoured policies and shrills and technocrats working on their behalf while the population is being relentlessly screwed by austerity. read full story / add a comment

The time is now and Kratos is back for another installment to the God Of War franchise. It has been a hard road for the Spartan turned God and Santa Monica Studio is here to give us another installment to the franchise. This time with some new twists and turns as well as a new location. Not to mention a whole new pantheon and mythology to have to fight/deal with. If the past titles are any indication, it could be a bloodbath. That is at least if we ignore all of the changes that are coming to the franchise with this new title. It is time for us to dig into it all now though. Here is our review of God Of War exclusively on the PS4.
As God Of War has always been one of my top franchises in gaming since it launched, I had to look past the rose-colored lens a bit to truly judge the game. I also had to look past some of the default camera settings to actually play the game as the motion blur and sway of the camera that Santa Monica Studio has here made me physically ill. I am not one that gets motion sickness at all and I have never had issue with "shaky cam" in the past. The way it handled in the game here though, there was just something not right. I was not the only one here to experience as well. Thankfully, it is an option that can be changed in God Of War and after doing so, I never had the issue again. It does feel like I may be missing out on the cinematic vision the team has, at least a bit, but it is something to heed before starting the game up.
The next part of the God Of War that kind of bothered me was the fact that emphasis on the Leviathan Axe goes away at a certain point in the game. I am going to try and not spoil anything here, but while you do use the axe quite often in the game, at a certain point it becomes just a tool and not a new feature added into the franchise. It is a great one out there, it just seems like you have to force yourself to keep using it at later parts of the game. I kind of wished that they would have truly doubled down on this new weapon for God Of War and made it the shining piece we were all lead to believe it would be. This is, of course, based on how I chose to play the game and things could be different for you.
Lastly, also in regards to the camera in God Of War, while the control for the camera system was opened up in the game now, there were too many instances where it was forced and locked down. Many of which being at instances I would have liked to look around or when there was something going on that should have been seen but I was forced to look at a blank wall while Kratos or Atreus did their thing. There were some very specific rune breaking puzzles that when coming to a close had some bigger and more epic sounding things going on, but I was forced to look at Kratos looking down to where I assume Atreus was doing something and could not follow the gaze. Nor could I look up at the results of what was going on until well after everything had played out. I lent to the single camera shot element of the game, but broke the epic-ness of the events too often.
We all knew that the story of God Of War was going to be about how this angry god was going to deal with a new family and keeping them safe. He also wanted to be the father he was never let to be. At least on the basic side of it all without going into story spoilers. I think I have yet to experience any form of storytelling that has hit the nail on the head so perfectly as Santa Monica Studio had here. Too many times I was whisked back to similar points in my life where I was Atreus in the interaction or I was Kratos in the interactions. In characters that I never thought would be able to show these levels of emotion, the team hit it so perfectly. It was so well written and presented that I think many other writers should look at God Of War for a bit of inspiration to show some true human elements in their characters, human or other.
Moving on from the story, I was iffy about the new weapon we were getting in God Of War in terms of the Leviathan Axe. From all of the video and gameplay I had ever seen or experienced before getting to play the game, it never felt like it truly fit; at least in terms of gameplay I have grown to know. Not only does the axe lend itself to the new setting, but it made me wonder why we had to wait through so many other God Of War title to get anything like it. After getting into the swing of it, pun intended, it almost became as second nature as the blades had in the past titles. Sure, it does become a second player in my opinion at a later point in the game, but the whole time we had to focus on it was some of the best in a game that was filled with so many "the bests."
Another thing this God Of War did and gave me was something I never knew I wanted in the franchise, a little bit of open-world-ness. That is a term now. The past titles have always driven us down a specific path and kept us on point from start to end. You can do that in this title as well, but there is a vast and rich world that has been designed for us that needs to be explored here. I would venture to say that this one game has as much world richness and fullness as all of the past God Of War titles combined. You do not feel like it was all set dressing and everything has a meaning. You also want to go exploring not only to find better gear to use in the game, but also to learn about aspects of the game's world that would normally take three games to get. This was another worry I had crushed as soon as I dug into it all.
Last up, as I could keep going on all the positive sides of God Of War all day, has to be the new advancement and gear system for the game. Again, something I did not know I wanted until I experienced it firsthand. In the game here, we now have outside gear that we have to upgrade along the way unlike just the weapons from before. They add a cosmetic change to Kratos and Atreus during the game but also change stats. All of which can be upgraded and micromanaged to make sure you are the best you can be in God Of War. It may seem like an odd thing to focus on, but once you dig in you can find yourself losing a lot of time trying to make sure everything synergizes together well. Something you definitely need to master in the game given how the enemies are not all the same "mooks" from start to finish. They have their own "level" system and knowing how your gear works together can easily grant you extra favor.
As a long-time fan of God Of War in general, it is easy to assume that I will tell you to go out and buy the game now. You would be correct. It is masterfully put together and is an experience even multiplayer-only gamers can enjoy. From the story, to the mechanics, to how it is all presented it is done in a perfect manner. It does have its faults, as I mentioned above, but all of which can so far be mitigated just by player choice and options. Even the one that would require Santa Monica Studio to step in is nowhere near game breaking and more of an annoyance than anything. At the end of the day, it is all worth the time and money to put God Of War into your PS4. Even if you are not a fan or played all of the past title in the franchise.
I give God Of War 296 Killed Draugrs on the Killed Draugr scale.
God Of War was developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony PlayStation exclusively for the PS4 on April 20th, 2018. A copy of the game was provided by the publisher for reviewing purposes.

The Making of Poetry
Late-Medieval French Poetic Anthologies
XVI+310 p., 24 b/w ill., 7 b/w tables, 160 x 240 mm, 2007
Languages: English, French
Online content: http://www.brepolsonline.net/action/showBook?doi=10.1484/M.TT-EB.5.107202
In this ground-breaking book, Jane H. M. Taylor explores some late-medieval lyric anthologies. Taking a cue from the French sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu, she sets poetic creation in the context of an understanding of the structures of court society, and sketches the range of social, intellectual and aesthetic positions available to the poet and the patron. Her primary focus is on a series of manuscripts which, she argues, reveal much about the socioliterary dynamics of particular poems, and about the way in which they are vessels for the participation by individuals in a common culture of literary exchange: Charles d'Orléans's personal manuscript, BNF français 25458, in which, she argues, the poets leave implicit or explicit traces of their social interactions; his duchess Marie's album, Carpentras 375, which is interestingly different from the Duke's; BNF fr. 9223 and n.a.f. 15771, 'coterie' manuscripts which allow us to see how social milieu determines shared literary forms and conventions; Marguerite d'Autriche's Album poétique, Brussels BR 10572, an anthology which is a cultural commodity allowing a princely court to recognise stylistic expertise and control of form. She finishes by examining the first great French poetic anthology, Antoine Vérard's Jardin de Plaisance (1501), which seeks to recreate, knowingly and imaginatively, via rubrics, illustrations, and choice of texts, the elite sociability for which the other anthologies are evidence.
"Taylor does great service to the medieval lyric and to manuscript studies by bringing Bourdieu's insights, coupled with rigorous textual scholarship, into medieval France. Her book should prove valuable to medievalists and early modernists from a number of disciplines." (Christopher Callahan, in: The Medieval Review)
"Par la richesse de son information, par la rigueur de l'argumentation, par l'utilisation raisonnée de notions empruntées à la sociologie (notamment à Bourdieu), le livre de J. T[aylor] est non seulement indispensable à tous les spécialistes de lyrique tardive, mais il constituera plus généralement une leçon de méthode pour l'analyse des textes conservés dans des recueils." (F. Duval dans Le Moyen Âge, CXIV, 2008, p. 401)
"The making of Poetry is, in a sum, a landmark book, characterized by the kind of assurance and mastery of its subject that only prolonged of experience in the field can bring." (K. Busby in: Encomia, vol. 29-30, p. 53)

Near the end of Denial, the boyfriend of a young defense lawyer awakens in the middle of the night to find his beloved laboring hard on her case. She is serving on the defense team of Deborah Lipstadt, the Emory University historian whom the British author David Irving sued for libel after she called him a Holocaust denier. Beseeching her to come to bed, the man states that he cannot understand her "obsession" with an event that took place so many decades prior. "At some point, isn't everyone going to have to let go?" he asks.
Anyone remotely interested in the Holocaust has likely been confronted, in some form or another, with this charge of "obsession." Occasionally, as in the aforementioned scene, the accusation is the product of nothing more objectionable than historical ignorance and naiveté. For how is it possible not to be "obsessed" with an event so enormous as the unprecedently systematic industrial-scale extermination of 6 million people due solely to their ethnic origin? (Indeed, even using such a word—"event"—to describe the Shoah seems cruelly inadequate.) If anything, we are not transfixed enough by the Holocaust.
More often, however, the allegation of "obsession" is a sinister one, meant to slander its targets as opportunists. In this construal, Jews "exploit" the Holocaust to earn sympathy points, or, more perversely, as a means of bilking restitution money or diplomatic cover for the state of Israel, itself perpetrator of the very sorts of crimes Jews accuse the Germans of having committed.
It was the latter, wholly cynical meaning of "obsession" that Irving imputed to world Jewry. Noxious as this assertion may be, it still accepts the Shoah's authenticity. What rightfully earned Irving the label of "denier" was his contention that the Holocaust as we've come to understand it—the deliberate, methodical attempt on the part of the Nazi leadership to annihilate every last Jewish man, woman, and child from the face of the Earth—is itself a massive lie, from the claimed number of Jewish victims ("of the order of 100,000 or more") to the causes of their death (not, in the main, premeditated murder but diseases such as typhus). It wasn't until 1988, however, relatively late in his long career as an amateur historian, that Irving would become a full-blown denier with his embrace of the notion that the Nazi gas chambers did not exist. "More women died on the back seat of Edward Kennedy's car at Chappaquiddick than in the gas chambers at Auschwitz," he once declared in his trademark caustic style.
What distinguished Irving from most other run-of-the-mill cranks and fascists who deny the Holocaust is that he had once been a mildly respectable military historian, if one curiously charitable to Adolf Hitler. In the book that spurred Irving's libel suit, Denying the Holocaust, Lipstadt chronicles how Irving went from being an author with unconventional views about World War II to an outright falsifier of history. The key event in his transformation, she wrote, was his embrace of the pseudoscientific "report" by a self-proclaimed American execution expert named Fred A. Leuchter claiming that the gassing facilities at Auschwitz had been used not to kill human beings but lice. (Leuchter was the subject of an eerily fascinating 1999 Errol Morris documentary, Mr. Death.) Though refuting the actual purpose of the gas chambers definitively established him as a Holocaust denier, Irving's prior "revisionism" was hardly more historically sound.
Simply for calling him what he was, Lipstadt and her publisher, Penguin, were hit with a libel lawsuit by Irving in 1996. In one of Denial's early scenes, Lipstadt, portrayed by Rachel Weisz, reacts with disbelief as her solicitor, Anthony Julius (Andrew Scott), explains the intricacies of British libel law. Because it puts the burden proof on the defendant, Lipstadt, if she opted to contest the case, would have to, in effect, prove the truth of the Holocaust in order to validate her contention that Irving was denying established fact. Considering how Lipstadt, on principle, refuses to debate Holocaust deniers, Irving's decision to bring suit against her was a cruel yet clever way of forcing her to engage with him. Stuck with the choice of letting Irving claim victory or exposing his calumnies, Lipstadt—who proudly tells Julius that her parents named her after the biblical female warrior—chooses to fight.
What follows, as Lipstadt journeys to London, is a fish-out-of-water legal drama wherein a brash, Jewish American history professor from New York must navigate her way through staid and forbidding British institutions. While Julius (a prominent British Jew who successfully won Princess Diana her generous divorce settlement and has since gone on to publish an acclaimed history of anti-Semitism in England) prepares the case behind the scenes, arguing before the judge is barrister Richard Rampton (the outstanding Tom Wilkinson), a classic British eccentric who keeps sandwiches in his cupboard and masters German within a year so that he can read the original Nazi documents Irving distorts. Throughout the film, Lipstadt's forthright personal style rushes up against the wall of her lawyers' conservative, risk-averse legal strategy. She is a passionate, outspoken woman who wants to scream obvious truths to the world (the Holocaust happened, David Irving is a lying bigot) but must defer to the prerogatives of British understatement. When Lipstadt's lawyers inform her that she will not take the stand (as doing so would distract from the heart of the case—her written words), she is dejected. Lipstadt is similarly crestfallen when told that no survivors will testify, though that initial sense of outrage dissipates once the stomach-churning image of Irving's potential cross-examination takes root.
Written by the British playwright David Hare (who also adapted the Holocaust-themed novel The Reader for the screen), Denial occasionally veers into didacticism, perhaps inevitable given the technicality of the subject matter. Though Hare is one of Britain's most acclaimed contemporary dramatic writers, his greatest skill here is editing. The film's best scenes are those that take place in the courtroom, where Hare crafted dialogue completely verbatim from the hundreds of hours of trial transcripts and where Irving—an egotist who, like most frauds, suffers from delusions of grandeur—represented himself. If the character of Irving (bravely played by Timothy Spall as an ultimately pathetic, rather than purely evil, villain) and his motives remain obscure, it's entirely intentional. Hare, according to the film's publicity materials, was not interested in writing "a portrait of an anti-Semite," and Irving is therefore seen entirely from the perspective of Lipstadt and her allies.
But there's more to this film than just an exploration of Holocaust denial, a depraved pursuit that, in the West at least, remains the exclusive preserve of racists and anti-Semitic crackpots. Denial is ultimately a movie about the power of lies. Why do people believe patent falsehoods and find the men who utter them so seductive? Though Hare, Lipstadt, and the rest of the film's production team could never have imagined it, their film—depicting a titanic battle between good and evil, truth versus deceit—resonates disturbingly in the age of Donald Trump, a man whose cascade of false assertions and authoritarian braggadocio is unprecedented among the ranks of major American presidential nominees and echo that of a despotic state propagandist. As did Irving, Trump lies about things relatively immaterial (like whether he once impersonated his own publicist) and monstrous (that the first black president of the United States is not a natural-born citizen). While a complacent political class abetted Hitler's rise in the erroneous belief that the nascent dictator and his brownshirts could be controlled, so too has Trump been normalized by legions of ostensibly responsible people who know better.
"I have a terrible fear that if I'd been asked to draw up those plans, I might have agreed. Out of sheer weakness," Rampton tells Lipstadt when she asks how a research trip to Auschwitz affected him. "The world is full of cowards, and I'm one of them." And like Trump—the Queens boy eternally striving for recognition in Manhattan, whose entire presidential campaign appears to be a giant middle finger directed at the political and media establishment provoked by a richly deserved, 5-year-old act of humiliation meted out to him by the president of the United States at a black-tie Washington rubber chicken dinner—Irving constantly sought validation from the British elite he simultaneously despised. After the verdict is read in Lipstadt's favor, Irving cheerily approaches Rampton with hand outstretched as if the two had just played a friendly match of tennis. (Rampton brusquely, and appropriately, rebuffs him).
Trump's mendacity, in totality, may not be as morally hideous as Irving's. His impulsive, indiscriminate lies are expressed not in the service of any discernable ideological agenda but rather his own personal advancement. Irving, meanwhile, carefully and painstakingly strung together a series of small, deceptively innocuous lies to advance a broad, wicked one: a conspiracy theory exonerating the most ruthless and depraved regime in human history. But if Trump's lies are less heinous than those of Irving, he makes up for it with influence and power. Irving, after all, was widely discredited by the time he decided to sue Lipstadt, unable to find a publisher for his books, and reduced to delivering lectures at the Tampa Bay Best Western. Donald Trump is just a few mediocre debate performances and a financial crisis away from becoming the most powerful man on Earth.

After the stage is over, sometimes a quad-rider's day carries on, with a small detour for mechanical revisions and a quick visit to the doctor often necessary before getting their heads down for a well-earned rest.
They often deal better with the dunes than the riders or drivers, but halts to their progress can often be longer for trucks that tip over on the sand. To get these huge machines back on track, the contestants are nonetheless used to having a helping hand. Here is an example.
They come to the rally for the dunes, but sometimes choke on the sand. On the 1994 Paris-Dakar-Paris, the crews, including the most experienced, were forced to get out the spades and dig out the vehicles almost constantly, in a part of the Sahara now nicknamed "the impossible erg".
In the collective memory of the Dakar, the Zouerat-Tichit stage has a special place. In the 2005 edition, the weather was especially inclement in Mauritania. The wind had softened up the sand in all the ergs that had to be crossed. For many contestants, this is where there adventure became a nightmare.
Crossing the dunes is an art which has its limits. Even the most skilled experts sometimes hit a wall of sand oh-so-difficult to negotiate. Even with a name like Jean-Pierre Fontenay, a former Dakar winner, you can get stuck for hours: it even happened during recon!
On 26th December 1978, on the place du Trocadéro, 178 vehicles got to grips with the first Paris-Dakar rally. For most of these pioneers led by Thierry Sabine, discovering Africa also meant confronting sandstorms, dunes, etc.
A Dakar regular, Antoine Morel shares his passion for quads with his son. In 2006, he took Alan, who was 18 years old at the time, to take part in the hardest rally in the world. To make sure Alan's apprenticeship didn't come to a sorry end, he had to keep the young rider's enthusiasm in check.

Paper in Urban Studies: Adaptive capacity of the Pearl River Delta cities in the face of the growing flood risk: Institutions, ideas and interests
Cities around the world face a growing flood risk as a result of climate change, bringing more extreme weather, more rainfall and more frequent and more severe storm surge events, pushing sea water into the streets. This problem is exacerbated by the rapid urban development, leading to expansion of cities onto flood-prone, low-lying areas, or even expansion directly into the sea on reclaimed land, without taking into consideration the changing climate. While this challenge is widely acknowledged, it may be surprising to see that in many of the cities that are the most exposed and vulnerable to this threat actually little is done about it. The cities in the Pearl River Delta, China's manufacturing, trade and services powerhouse and a magnet for millions of migrants and investors, are a good example of this. For instance, Guangzhou, a mega city being part of this massive and expanding urban region, has been ranked as one of the cities that are the most exposed to future coastal flooding (see Hallegate et al., 2013), and already experiences frequent water-logging events bringing its busy central areas to standstill. Despite this, there is little evidence of serious consideration of the growing flood risk in the city's spatial planning practice and ambitious plans for further expansion of the city's residential, economic and industrial areas into newly reclaimed areas directly exposed to future storm surges. Why this is the case? What determines the capacity of cities to adapt to climate change?
The burgeoning literature on urban climate adaptation and resilience identifies multiple barriers for implementation of climate change policies, such as the mismatch between priorities at different scales, difficulties in cooperation across levels of government or across the sectoral departments of municipal governments (e.g. between water management and spatial planning), or lack of technical knowledge and financial resources of the municipalities needed to diagnose and act to reduce the exposure and vulnerability to flooding. However, we know much less about how these barriers emerge (for instance, are they due to the municipalities' lack formal competence in managing flood risk or lack of formal channels for cross-level coordination; or rather to the less tangible factors related to the local policy actors' interests and perceptions of the problem); how they are interrelated with each other; why they persist; and, critically what can be done to overcome them.
Building on the notion of adaptive capacity (e.g. Gupta et al., 2010; Pahl-Wostl, 2009) and an analytical framework of the 'three I's' (institutions, ideas, interests), Marcin Dąbrowski, Dominic Stead (Aalto University / TUD), Jinghuan He & Feng Yu (South China University of Technology) attempt to bridge this knowledge gap in a study focusing on Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the Pearl River Delta, China, which has been just published in Urban Studies. We highlight a number of emerging innovations in both cities, in terms of technical solutions to combine flood risk management with urban (re)development and in terms of governance practices that span policy sectors and pave the way towards integration of flood risk concerns in spatial planning. However, we also observe that this potential is underused. The paper investigates how and why barriers for developing adaptive capacity in cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen emerge, even though the problem of flooding due to urbanization at break-neck speed and the changing climate is increasingly tangible and burning. It also points to ways to some ways to mitigate those barriers and put urban development that is more adaptive to climate change on the planners' agenda, albeit underscoring the "thorny ethical and political questions about who benefits from such urban adaptation measures, particularly from the new (often expensive) developments that they may end up promoting." Have a look at the full paper here:
The research on which this paper builds was funded by the Urban Studies Foundation (Marcin Dąbrowski's post-doctoral research fellowship), Urban Knowledge Network Asia, and State Key Laboratory of Subtropical Building Science at South China University of Technology (SCUT). It also benefited from the support of the joint research centre on Urban Systems and Environments, bringing together researchers from TU Delft and SCUT.

Forget About Ford's Weak Earnings Report -- Now Is the Time to Buy This Stock
A poor outlook moving forward caused Ford's stock to fall hard last week, but this may be the right time to buy.
Matt Thalman
Aug 1, 2016 10:30 AM EDT
Last Thursday, Ford Motor Company (F) - Get Ford Motor Company Reportreported quarterly earnings that disappointed in more than one way. Investors took their disappointment out on Ford stock, pushing shares lower by more than 8%.
The disappointing news countered recent trends in what has been a red-hot U.S. car industry.
But despite the poor outlook management gave in the report, which included expectations for sluggish growth in South America, the U.S. and Asia, the company is on solid ground. The company has wisely cut production costs, and it is likely to increase margins in the near future. Coupled with the low share price, this is a good buying opportunity for investors.
In Friday trading, the share price fell less than a percentage point.
With the markets peaking at all-time highs, investors need to start considering what will happen when the tide goes out! They will need to protect their portfolios by owning the best-of-the-best. Find out what to own by clicking here.
For the quarter, Ford reported adjusted earnings per share of 52 cents, better than the 47 cents per share reported for the second quarter last year but much less than the 60 cents Wall Street was expecting. Revenue came in at $39.5 billion, a 6% increase when compared to the second quarter of 2015. The company experienced mixed results internationally while here at home higher incentives hurt margins.
In Europe, Ford posted pretax profits of $467 million, nearly triple the result of a year earlier, helped by an 11% increase in sales. Ford posted a pretax loss of $8 million in Asia, Ford's first loss in that region in over three years. South American losses came in at $265 million, while the Middle East-Africa market posted a loss of $65 million.
North American sales were flat when compared to last year despite the company spending $3,475 per vehicle on incentives, compared with just $2,700 last year. Pretax profits in the U.S. market dropped 5% to $2.7 billion.
Ford's CFO Bob Shanks said that the U.S. market is slowing, following an unprecedented growth streak. Management also sounded warnings about the Brexit effect, indicating that Ford will lose $200 million in sales this year due to the vote to leave the EU and $400 to $500 million a year over the next two years.
Continuing economic issues in South America will continue to hurt results in that region. Asian markets will likely continue to be affected by a weak yuan.
Shank straight told investors, "We don't see growth, at least in the near term."
Despite the "bad" news, Ford stock is among a group of investments that will beat the market this year.
First, the valuation of Ford is incredibly low. The current trailing price-to-earnings ratio is just 5.7 while the stock has a current dividend yield of 4.34%. Ford expects pretax profits to come in equal to or just slightly better than what it posted last year. So, it would appear the stock isn't trading at a low P/E to declining growth, just to a lack of growth.
To help combat that, Ford is still focusing on cost-cutting measures. In the first half of this year, the company has reduced costs by $1.6 billion. Also, the company is likely to reduce incentives, which could increase margins on each vehicle.
Moreover, the situation for Ford may not be as bad as it suggested in its earnings. According to The Associated Press, auto analyst James Albertine from Consumer Edge Research said, "They're (Ford) trying to under-promise and over-deliver for the back half of the year."
If that truly is the case and Ford can overdeliver, buying shares at today's ridiculously low valuation could be a good decision for investors.
Other car manufactures like Volkswagen and Toyota's are in much worse situations, as they deal with massive recalls, damaged images and an untold number of lawsuits. It's simply in a period of little growth.
Ford's low valuation, limited downside risk, solid upside return and a 4.3% dividend while you wait sounds like a great investment.
A blistering financial storm is about to hit our shores. When it hits, weak companies and their investors will be washed away. You need to put yourself on solid ground. And that doesn't just mean changing your investment allocations or loading up on cash.I'll show you how to protect yourself and prosper when you click here.

Sit with me in silence friends,
Share with me this bread.
Still the voice that violence sends,
Searing through your head.
Each of you must seek accord
for the life you live.
Every man can ill afford
To die and not forgive.
Pass the retribution,
Hear what's not been said.
Bear life's borne confusion,
As feeble minds are fed.
Let's bow our heads and not forget,
What brought us here today.
Drink my blood, the tables set,
Let's all join hands and pray.
Father bless us for we have sinned,
Each man here's new life begins,
On this blessed day.
I am but your vessel Father,
A means to reach an end.
Besought, betrayed, bereft of bother,
Chastised by close friends.
Forgive them Lord for they are weak,
Their destiny's contrived.
Heal them for it's You they seek,
Eternally to survive.
Oh my Father, hear my prayer,
Let me bear their sin.
They're but children, unaware,
They'll only sin again.
In solemn eyes help me rise,
Above the wrong that's been.
Resurrect the calm effect,
That once defined good men.
Now let's feast one last time,
Let God be our guide.
Heed at least one less crime,
Through faith in Him confide.
Each man carries his own burden,
Life's no piece of cake.
Nothing given, nothing certain,
We're bound to make mistakes.
Look around any table,
Examine each man's pride.
In the end men must be able,
To reach down deep inside.
Jesus bore man's transgressions,
He suffered and he died.
He taught forgiveness, sought confessions,
The day the apostles cried.
