Leftists Want to Keep the Term "Hate Speech" Ambiguous
by Brett Stevens on October 3, 2017
If you want total control, your subjects must enforce your rules upon themselves. You can achieve this condition by being inconsistent in your enforcement, which motivates them to use wide margins to edit their own behavior, at which point arbitrary enforcement can keep them in a state of sublimated panic, unwilling to even bring up any reference to hot button issues.
Google, as part of its Leftist agenda, is attempting to impose this type of control through its vague terms of use:
Our Community Guidelines prohibit hate speech that either promotes violence or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes. YouTube also prohibits content intended to recruit for terrorist organizations, incite violence, celebrate terrorist attacks, or otherwise promote acts of terrorism. Some borderline videos, such as those containing inflammatory religious or supremacist content without a direct call to violence or a primary purpose of inciting hatred, may not cross these lines for removal.
So what is "hate speech"? Their definition of "hate speech" is as nebulous as their agenda:
Hate speech refers to content that promotes violence against or has the primary purpose of inciting hatred against individuals or groups based on certain attributes, such as:
race or ethnic origin
veteran status
sexual orientation/gender identity
There is a fine line between what is and what is not considered to be hate speech. For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation-state, but if the primary purpose of the content is to incite hatred against a group of people solely based on their ethnicity, or if the content promotes violence based on any of these core attributes, like religion, it violates our policy.
Then notice the insertion of more vague terms in their vague content policy:
Our products are platforms for free expression. But we don't support content that promotes or condones violence against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, veteran status, or sexual orientation/gender identity, or whose primary purpose is inciting hatred on the basis of these core characteristics. This can be a delicate balancing act, but if the primary purpose is to attack a protected group, the content crosses the line.
The first question we might ask is, "What is hatred?" Does this mean simple dislike or criticism, or is this limited to the type of Protocols of the Learned Elders of Dublin type paranoid conspiracy thinking that leaves no possible conclusion for the reader except that a final solution to the Fenian Problem must be undertaken?
Next, we need to ask, "What is inciting?" This is another weasel term, in that encouraging people to think critically about a topic could be seen as inciting them on some level. It also could be retroactive; if someone does something rash after reading something reasonable, it can easily be inferred that this material was inciting something-or-other.
Finally, and this is because we are dealing with Leftists, "What is violence?" We all know about encouraging assault, genocide and rape, but is it violence when a group is relocated? Since some will resist, it might be. To condone violence might be as simple as saying, "I think the races should be separated in order to avoid further violence."
Despite all of the friendly language about free speech and fine lines, these rules are deliberately vague and designed to allow Google maximum leeway in removing material that its censorship team — probably not highly paid, and probably career Leftists — find offensive. So far, they have used it to remove a number of music videos from their search results, merely for having bad associations or bad topics.
If you look at these rules by their terms only, it becomes clear that any criticism of these protected groups — races, ethnic groups, sexes and the insane (mentally disabled) among them — is now on the chopping block, or at least will be if Google decides it is according to their interpretation of these fuzzy boundaries.
The real agenda behind this latest move is to allow Google to hide anything conservative tinged-from its search, and by demonetizing such videos, discouraging their production. For some time there has been a cottage industry in making realist videos and receiving the "monetization," or share of the advertising revenue, from those videos. That is Google's real target.
Part of the problem here is that "hate speech" is such a vague concept that it almost cannot be defined. This broad brush includes both deranged threats of violence, and principled and reasonable criticism of Leftist policies. In order to protect the latter, Google has designed rules potentially designating all non-Leftist thought as the former.

A 'Put Spread' is when you buy a put and simultaneously sell a put on the same underlying security, with the same expiration date, but at different strike prices. E.g., buy a put on QQQ for $100 per share 3 months out, and simultaneously sell a put on QQQ for $105 per share 3 months out. As usual Investopedia has a good description of the basic idea.
Put spreads do best in markets that are rising, but not strongly.
The strategy I describe involves specifically 3-month put spreads. Any term could be used, of course, and I've investigated several others. I like the 3-month spreads because they don't tie money up for a long time, even though longer term spreads are probably more consistent. If there were 12-month QQQ options available every quarter I would probably switch to those to get long term capital gains tax (20%) instead of short term capital gains tax (39.6%), but QQQ currently only has 12-month options available in January.
A 'diagonal put spread' is when puts are bought and sold on the same security, and both the strike price and expiration date are different on the two legs.
E.g., buy a 9 month put on QQQ at 135, and sell a 3 month put on QQQ at 145. In the strategy analyzed this month, another 3 month put on QQQ is sold when the first 3 month put expires, and a third 3 month put on QQQ is sold when the second 3 month put expires. In this way, the long put protects against arbitrarily large losses when the market drops (though money is lost when the market drops), and profit is made off of selling put option premium.
Take a look at my analysis of how QQQ diagonal put spreads have worked out over the past 10 years. I'd especially like to hear from anyone who has been using this strategy on non-index options.
This month's strategy is buying quarterly QQQ calls and selling quarterly SPY calls. You can follow the link to see how this strategy has played out historically.
The idea behind this strategy is that the NASDAQ and SP500 tend to move together, but QQQ is more volatile and makes bigger moves. Selling SPY partially offsets the cost of buying QQQ when the market is down, and QQQ outperforms SPY when the market is up. At least that's the theory, you can see how that compares to reality.
This month's strategy is buying yearly index long call spreads.
In the variant of this strategy that I describe, profit is made primarily off of the difference between the option premium collected on the short end, minus the option premium paid on the long end. The way it's structured means profit is made even in a relatively flat market.
The most common questions I get are about options trading. Usually it's from people looking for something to do with their 'fun money' (or 'Vegas money'), not for investing. I've gotten enough feedback, in fact, that I've started a new section on the website so they're easy to find (rather than looking through old posts).
This month's strategy is fairly simple, buying monthly call options on QQQ (the NASDAQ ETF).
If you need a refresher on options, Investopedia has a good summary.

CHAPTER 2 - THE GREAT PREPARATIVES FOR THE SAINTS' REST
There are four things which principally prepare the way to enter into it; particularly,
1. The glorious appearing of Christ;
2. The general resurrection;
3. The last judgment; and,
4. The saints' coronation.
THE passage of paradise is not now so blocked up as when the law and curse reigned. Wherefore finding, beloved Christians, a new and living way consecrated for us, through the vail, that is to say, the flesh of Christ, by which we may with boldness enter into the holiest, I shall draw near with fuller assurance; and, finding the flaming sword removed, shall look again into the paradise of our God. And because I know that this is no forbidden fruit, and withal that it is good for food, and pleasant to the spiritual eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one truly wise and happy; I shall, through the assistance of the Spirit, take and eat thereof myself, and give to you, according to my power, that you may eat. The porch of this temple is exceeding glorious, and the gate of it is called Beautiful. Here are four things as the four corners of this porch.
1. The most glorious coming and appearing of the Son of God may well be reckoned in his people's glory. For their sake he came into the world, suffered, died, rose, ascended; and for their sake it is that he will return. To this end will Christ come again to receive his people unto himself, that where he is, there they may be also. The bridegroom's departure was not upon divorce. He did not leave us with a purpose to return no more. He hath left pledges enough to assure us to the contrary. We have his word, his many promises, his ordinances, which show forth his death till he come; and his Spirit, to direct, sanctify, and comfort till he return. We have frequent tokens of love from him, to show us he forgets not his promise, nor us. We daily behold the forerunners of his coming, foretold by himself.
We see the fig-tree putteth forth leaves, and therefore know that summer is nigh. Though the riotous world say, My Lord delayeth his coming; yet let the saints lift up their heads, for their redemption draweth nigh. Alas! fellow-Christians, what should we do if our Lord should not return? What a case are we here left in! What! leave us in the midst of wolves, and among lions, a generation of vipers, and here forget us! Did he buy us so dear, and then leave us sinning, suffering, groaning, dying daily; and will he come no more to us? It cannot be. This is like our unkind dealing with Christ, who, when we feel ourselves warm in the world, care not for coming to him; but this is not like Christ's dealing with us. He that would come to suffer, will surely come to triumph. He that would come to purchase, will surely come to possess. Where else were all our hopes?
What were become of our faith, our prayers, our tears and our waiting?
What were all the patience of the saints worth to them? Were we not left of all men the most miserable? Christians, hath Christ made us forsake all the world, and to be forsaken of all the world? to hate all, and be hated of all? and all this for him, that we might have him instead of all? And will he, think you, after all this, forget us and forsake us himself? Far be such a thought from our hearts! But why staid he not with his people while he was here? Why? Was not the work on earth done? Must he not take possession of glory in our behalf? Must he not intercede with the Father, plead his sufferings, be filled with the Spirit to send forth, receive authority, and subdue his enemies? Our abode here is short. If he had staid on earth, what would it have been to enjoy him for a few days and then die? He hath more in heaven to dwell among; even the spirits of many, generations. He will have us live by faith, and not by sight.
O fellow-Christians, what a day will that be, when we, who have been kept prisoners by sin, by sinners, by the grave, shall be brought out by the Lord himself! It will not be such a coming as his first was, in poverty and contempt, to be spit upon, and buffeted, and crucified again. He will not come, O careless world! to be slighted and neglected by you any more. Yet that coming wanted not its glory. If the heavenly host, for the celebration of his nativity, must praise God; with what shoutings will angels and saints at that day proclaim glory to God, peace and good-will toward men! If a star must lead men from remote parts, to come to worship the child in the manger; how will the glory of his next appearing constrain all the world to acknowledge his sovereignty! If, riding on an ass, he enter Jerusalem with hosannas; with what peace and glory will he come toward the New Jerusalem! If, when he was in the form of a servant, they cry out, "What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?" what will they say when they shall see him coming in his glory, and the heavens and the earth obey him? "Then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn." To think and speak of that day with horror doth well become the impenitent sinner, but ill the believing saint. Shall the wicked behold him, and cry, "Yonder is he whose blood we neglected, whose grace we resisted, whose counsel we refused, whose government we cast off!" and shall not the saints, with inconceivable gladness, cry, "Yonder is he whose blood redeemed us, whose Spirit cleansed us, whose law governed us; in whom we trusted, and he hath not deceived our trust; for whom we long waited, and now we see we have not waited in vain! O cursed corruption! that would have had us turn to the world and present things, and say, Why should we wait for the Lord any longer? Now we see, Blessed are all they that wait for him." And now, Christians, should we not put up that petition heartily, "Thy kingdom come? The Spirit and the bride say, Come: and let him that heareth," and readeth, "say, Come." Our Lord himself says, "Surely I come quickly. Amen: even so, come! Lord Jesus."
2. Another thing that leads to paradise; is that great work of Jesus Christ, in raising the body from the dust and uniting it again unto the soul. A wonderful effect of infinite power and love! "Yea wonderful indeed," says Unbelief, "if it be true. What, shall all these scattered bones and dust become a man?" Let me with reverence plead for God, for that power whereby I hope to arise. What sustains the massy body of the earth? What limits the vast ocean of the waters? Whence is that constant ebbing and flowing of the tides? How many times larger than all the earth is the sun, that glorious body of light? Is it not as easy to raise the dead as to make heaven and earth, and all of nothing? Look not on the dead bones, and dust, and difficulty, but at the promise. Contentedly commit these bodies to a prison that shall not long contain them. Let us lie down in peace and take our rest; it will not be an everlasting night, nor endless sleep. If unclothing be the thing thou fearest, it is that thou mayest have better clothing. If to be turned out of doors be the thing thou fearest, remember that, when "the earthly house of this tabernacle is dissolved, thou hast a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Lay down cheerfully this lump of corruption; thou shalt undoubtedly receive it again in incorruption. Lay down freely this terrestrial, this natural body; thou shalt receive it again a celestial, a spiritual body. Though thou lay it down with great dishonor, thou shalt receive it in glory. Though thou art separated from it through weakness it shall be raised again in mighty power; "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." "The dead in Christ shall rise First.
Then they who are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air." Triumph now, O Christian, in these promises; thou shalt shortly triumph in their performance. This is the day which the Lord will make; we shall rejoice and be glad in it. The grave that could not keep our Lord, cannot keep us. He arose for us, and by the same power will cause us to arise. "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, them also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." Let us never look at the grave, but let us see the resurrection beyond it. Yea, let us be "steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as we know our labor is not in vain in the Lord."
3. Part of this prologue to the saints' rest is the public and solemn process at their judgment, where they shall first themselves be acquitted and justified, and then with Christ judge the world. Young and old, of all estates and nations, that ever were from the creation to that day, must here come and receive their doom. O terrible! O joyful day! Terrible to those that have forgotten the coming of their Lord! joyful to the saints, whose waiting and hope was to see this day! Then shall the world behold the goodness and severity of God; on them who perish, severity; but to his chosen, goodness. Every one must give an account of his stewardship.
Every talent of time, health, abilities, mercies, afflictions, means, warnings, must be reckoned for. The sins of youth, those which they had forgotten, and their secret sins, shall all be laid open before angels and men. They shall see the Lord Jesus, whom they neglected, whose word they disobeyed, whose ministers they abused, whose servants they hated, now sitting to judge them. Their own consciences shall cry out against them, and call to their remembrance all their misdoings. Which way will the wretched sinner look? Who can conceive the terrible thoughts of his heart?
Now the world cannot help him; his old companions cannot; the saints neither can nor will. Only the Lord Jesus can; but there is the misery, he will not. Time was, sinner, when Christ would, and you would not; now, fain would you, and he will not. All in vain is it to "cry to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth upon the throne;" for thou hast the Lord of mountains and rocks for thine enemy, whose voice they will obey, and not thine. I charge thee, therefore, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing, and his kingdom, that thou set thyself seriously to ponder these things.
But why tremblest thou, O humble, gracious soul? He that would not lose one Noah in a common deluge, nor overlook one Lot in Sodom; nay, that could do nothing till he went forth; will he forget thee at that day? "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment, to be punished." He knoweth how to make the same day the greatest terror to his foes, and yet the greatest joy to his people. "There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect?" Shall the law? "The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made them free from the law of sin and death." Or shall conscience'? "The Spirit itself beareth witness with their spirit, that they are the children of God. It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth?" If our Judge condemn us not, who shall? He that said to the adulterous woman, Hath no man condemned thee? neither do I; will say to us, more faithfully than Peter to him, Though all men deny thee, or condemn thee, I will not. Having confessed me before men, thee "will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven."
What inexpressible joy, that our dear Lord, who loveth our souls and whom our souls love, shall be our Judge! Will a man fear to be judged by his dearest friend? or a wife by her own husband? Christian, did Christ come down and suffer, and weep, and bleed, and die for thee, and will he now condemn thee? Was he judged, condemned, and executed in thy stead, and now will he himself condemn thee? Hath he done most of the work already, in redeeming, regenerating, sanctifying and preserving thee, and will he now undo all again? Well then, let the terror of that day be never so great, surely our Lord can mean no ill to us in all. Let it make the devils tremble, and the wicked tremble, but it shall make us leap for joy. It must affect us deeply with the sense of our mercy and happiness, to see the most of the world tremble with terror, while we triumph with joy; to hear them doomed to everlasting flames, when we are proclaimed heirs of the kingdom; to see our neighbors, that lived in the same town, came to the same congregation, dwelt in the same houses, and were esteemed more honorable in the world than ourselves, now, by the Searcher of hearts, eternally separated. This, with the great magnificence and dreadfulness of the day, the apostle pathetically expresses: "It is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; and to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven, with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe, in that day."
Yet more: we shall be so far from the dread of that judgment, that ourselves shall become the judges. Christ will take his people, as it were, into commission with himself, and they shall sit and approve his righteous judgment. "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?" Nay, "know ye not that we shall judge angels?" 1 Corinthians 6:2,3. Were it not for the word of Christ that speaks it, this advancement would seem incredible, and the language arrogant. Even Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied this, saying, "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them, of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." Thus shall the saints be honored, and "the upright shall have dominion in the morning." O that the careless world "were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!" that they would be now of the same mind as they will be when they shall see the heavens pass away with a great noise, and the elements melt with fervent heat, and the earth also, and the works that are therein, burnt up! when all shall be on fire about them, and all earthly glory consumed. "For the heavens and the earth which are now, are reserved unto fire against the day of judgment, and perdition of ungodly men. Seeing, then, that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?"
4. The last preparative for the saints' rest is their solemn coronation and receiving the kingdom. For as Christ, their head, is anointed both King and Priest, so under him are his people made unto God both kings and priests, to reign, and to offer praises for ever. The crown of righteousness, which was laid up for them, shall by the Lord, the righteous Judge, be given them at that day. They have been faithful unto death, and therefore he will give them a crown of life. And according to the improvement of their talents here, so shall their rule and dignity be enlarged. They are not dignified with empty titles, but real dominion. Christ will grant them to sit with him on his throne, and will give them power over the nations, even as he received of his Father; and he "will give them the morning star." The Lord himself will give them possession, with these applauding expressions: "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
And with this solemn and blessed proclamation shall he enthrone them: "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Every word is full of life and joy. "Come " — this is the holding forth of the golden scepter, to warrant our approach unto this glory. Come now as near as you will; fear not the Bethshemites' judgment; for the enmity is utterly abolished. This is not such a "Come" as we were wont to hear, "Come, take up your cross and follow me." Though that was sweet, yet this is much more. "Ye blessed" — blessed indeed, when that mouth so pronounce us! For though the world hath accounted us accursed, and we have been ready to account ourselves so; yet, certainly, those that he blesseth are blessed; and those only whom he curseth are cursed; and his blessing cannot be reversed. "Of my Father " — blessed in the Father's love, as well as the Son's; for they are one. The Father hath testified his love in their election, donation to Christ, and in the sending of Christ, and accepting his ransom, as the Son hath also testified his. "Inherit" — no longer bondsmen, nor servants only, nor children under age, who differ not in possession, but only in title, from servants; but now we are heirs of the kingdom, and joint-heirs with Christ. "The kingdom" — no less than the kingdom! Indeed, to be King of kings and Lord of lords is our Lord's own proper title; but to be kings, and reign with him, is ours. The enjoyment of this kingdom is as the light of the sun; each has the whole, and the rest none the less. "Prepared for you" — God is the Alpha as well as the Omega of our blessedness. Eternal love hath laid the foundation. He prepared the kingdom for us, and then prepared us for the kingdom. This is the preparation of his counsel and decree, for the execution whereof Christ was yet to make a further preparation. "For you" — not for believers only, in general, who, without individual persons, are nobody; but for you personally. "From the foundation of the world" — not only from the promise after Adam's fall, but from eternity.
Thus we have seen the Christian safely landed in paradise, and conveyed honorably to his rest. Now let us a little further, in the next chapter, view those mansions, consider their privileges, and see whether there be any glory like unto this glory.

Il cromocene è il composto metallorganico del cromo con formula  (η5-C5H5)2Cr, generalmente abbreviata come Cp2Cr. È un metallocene, cioè un composto a sandwich di struttura analoga al ferrocene, ma non rispetta la regola dei 18 elettroni, dato che ne ha solo 16. Lo stato di ossidazione formale del cromo è +2. È paramagnetico e fortemente riducente. In condizioni normali è un solido cristallino rosso scuro, e sublima facilmente sotto vuoto, analogamente ad altri metalloceni. Si decompone rapidamente a contatto con aria o acqua. È solubile in solventi organici non polari.

Si prepara da dicloruro di cromo e  ciclopentadienuro di sodio:

CrCl2  +  2NaC5H5  →  Cr(C5H5)2  +  2NaCl

La sintesi è tipicamente condotta in soluzione di tetraidrofurano. La struttura del composto è stata verificata tramite cristallografia a raggi X; la distanza media di legame Cr−C è 215,1 pm.

L'analogo composto decametilcromocene, [η5-C5(CH3)5]2Cr si prepara analogamente da LiC5(CH3)5.

Come in altri metalloceni, anche nel cromocene i leganti  C5H5 possono essere allontanati. Cromocene e gel di silice trattati opportunamente generano un catalizzatore che la Union Carbide utilizza per la polimerizzazione dell'etilene. Il cromocene si decompone sulla superficie del gel di silice formando centri organometallici molto reattivi che sono i responsabili dell'attività catalitica.

Sicurezza
I composti di cromo sono tossici, anche se in genere sono i composti di Cr(VI) ad essere considerati più pericolosi, rispetto a quelli in stato di ossidazione minore, come è il cromocene. In ogni caso il cromocene è irritante sia per contatto che per ingestione o inalazione. Le sue proprietà tossicologiche non sono note.

A Brief History of Tragedy
by Victoria Reggio
708 Washington St ny 10014
Neighborhood: All Over, Multiple
I was in Sister Mary Evangelista's fourth grade class when Mother John entered the room during our math lesson. We stood and were about to greet her with our usual, "Good morning, Mother," when with her Irish brogue, she abruptly instructed us to sit down. She whispered in our teacher's ear. Sister Mary Evangelista's eyes welled up and she told us to get our things; we were going to Mass.
I was overjoyed. Anything was better than math. But as we marched around the corner to church, I overheard the Sisters whispering through their sobs.
"I can't believe this," they said. "The president's gone." They were talking about President Kennedy.
I don't remember the service or Father Baretta's sermon. I only recall that when we were dismissed, my mother was there to take me home. I thought, "Wow, she must be really sad. She didn't even put on lipstick."
For the next several days, I was happy not being in school, but annoyed that my favorite TV shows were pre-empted by news covereage of the assassination (a brand new-word). Emily, my older sister, was upset. She had just started working in an office, loved Jackie Kennedy and was the proud owner of several pillbox hats. The gravity of it all didn't register with me and when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot, I was even more confused. I felt a certain uneasiness, but with my parents and relatives there with me, gathered around the television, I knew I was safe.
When Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated, my Uncle Tony picked my cousin Angela and me up from school because he was afraid of possible riots. I had seen Martin Luther King give speeches on television and felt bad when I saw his wife and children at his funeral service. I was just beginning to deal with that when Robert Kennedy was shot. Listening to his brother Teddy's speech made me cry. I was thirteen, in the throes of my own adolescent confusion, and the possibility of losing my own father suddenly began to haunt me.
Fast foward to December of 1980. I was living at 708 Washington St., in the Village. One night, I was awakened from a flu-induced sleep by the ringing phone. It was my roommate Cathy. Her voice trembled. She started crying.
"Cathy?" I said.
"John Lennon's dead," she said. She told me she was calling from a pay phone near the Dakota. The streets were lined with people who had gone there to mourn.
"I'll be home soon," she said.
I hung up, walked into the living room and a few minutes later, Dolores, my other roommate, came in from her waitressing job. We hugged and cried. At the time, I'd just started working at Playboy magazine and our John Lennon interview had just hit newsstands. He talked about returning to the studio to record the Double Fantasy album and how much he loved living in New York. The city he loved was now the city that had taken him away. My feverish body craved sleep, but I stayed awake all night, watching the news with my friend.
Sixteen years later, while on the phone with someone in our Chicago office, I saw people running next door to the small conference room television. What they were looking at was the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing. We all felt certain that this could only have been done by foreign terrorists and within minutes the shock jocks were on the air telling Arab jokes. Then we learned that the atrocity was carried out by a Gulf War veteran with a buzz cut. I've wondered since then what murdering children has to do with freedom.
On the morning of September 11th, I was in the office when one of the food editors emerged from the kitchen yelling that she heard on the radio that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. We raced to a television, some of us ranting about the recklessness of the airlines. But minutes later, when we the second tower was hit, we knew it was something far more terrible. We screamed and whimpered. We huddled in groups trying to verbalize what we just saw. We called our families to see how they were doing and to assure them that we were okay. Our building is across the street from Grand Central Station and management soon announced we were evacuating.
The streets were filled with people as I walked the two miles home with some co-workers, yet filled with a strange silence. I got home, turned the televsion and tuned in to another tragedy.

The increased incidence of thyroid cancer appears to be associated with an "epidemic of diagnosis" and not disease, according to a new study. An increase in thyroid cancer previously has been reported, largely due to the detection of small papillary cancers, a common and less aggressive form of the disease, according to the study background. Since 1975, the incidence of thyroid cancer has nearly tripled from 4.9 to 14.3 per 100,000 people, with virtually the entire increase due to papillary thyroid cancer (from 3.4 to 12.5 per 100,000 people).
The Cancer Quality Improvement Program (CQIP) report is now available! This new resource is an annual report that provides your CoC-accredited program with extensive data related to the quality of cancer care that your patients received. You can use the analysis of the data your program has provided to the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) and comparisons with national data from more than 1,500 CoC-accredited programs to develop plans and processes to ensure that your program continues to provide high-quality, patient-centered cancer services to prevent, screen, diagnose, treat, and monitor the population you serve.
Supplement use with cancer treatment: Helpful or harmful?
Hoping to improve their symptoms and outcomes, many patients with cancer consume antioxidants, herbs, and other dietary supplements while undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy — usually without telling the clinicians who are caring for them. Oncology team members should seek open discussions with patients about these alternative treatments, including the unknowns and potential risks associated with their use during cancer treatment.
Urothelial carcinoma is the most common histologic subtype of bladder cancer and accounts for 90 percent of all cases. In the United Sates, more than 72,000 new cases of bladder cancer and about 15,000 deaths were estimated in 2013. In patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBC), pathologic stage and nodal status are the most important prognostic factors for progression and overall survival. Radical cystectomy alone is associated with a five-year survival rate of 80 percent for organ-confined disease without lymph node metastasis. However, patients with extravesical disease and patients with lymph node involvement have a five-year survival rate of approximately 40 percent to 50 percent and 15 percent to 35 percent, respectively.

Myoferlin, a protein only recently linked to cancer, may help breast cancer cells transform so they can escape tumors and migrate to new sites. When researchers implanted mice with breast cancer cells that couldn't make the protein because its gene was switched off, the cells did not transform into the type that migrates. Researchers at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio had already shown this was happening in cell cultures. Now in a study published in the journal PLOS ONE, they describe how they got similar results in mice.

Public Health Orders

Latest NSW amendments to gathering rules for churches, weddings and funerals
Following a good run of low COVID-19 numbers in NSW, limits on rules around numbers for church services, weddings and funerals have been eased again. The latest amending Public Health Order, the Public Health (COVID-19 Restrictions on Gathering and Movement) Order (No 5) Amendment Order (No 3) 2020 has been made available on the NSW Legislation website. (A bit early this time! Most of it comes into effect at 12:01 am on Monday 23 November; some provisions noted below relating to weddings and funerals commence on 1 December.) I will aim to briefly outline the main changes relating to churches.

Capitol Hill Baptist case- COVID restrictions on gatherings unlawful
Most of us are chafing under restrictions on gatherings imposed by COVID-19 laws. Getting the balance right here is hard, and we want to give the government as much leeway as possible; but the restrictions have been very difficult for churches, and the rules adopted in some jurisdictions seem to discriminate against church meetings in comparison to other activities which are now allowed. These were the issues at stake in the recent decision of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in Capitol Hill Baptist Church v Bowser (Case No. 20-cv-02710 (TNM), McFadden USDJ, Oct 9, 2020).
Capitol Hill Baptist Church has been meeting in Washington DC for 142 years. In recent days it has been prevented from gathering all at one time by local rules restricting all church gatherings, wherever held, to the fewer of 50 percent capacity or 100 persons. The Church is theologically committed to the view that all members of the church should gather together physically on a Sunday in one meeting. As they usually have about 1000 people attending the meeting on Sundays, they have had to move their meetings across the State border to Virginia, where they have been meeting outdoors with social distancing precautions and facemasks. They would like to meet in this way in Washington DC. Their action against the Mayor of the District claimed that the rules in place breached the provisions of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). They have now been successful in obtaining an expedited preliminary injunction enjoining the District from enforcing their restrictions "insofar as they prevent the Church from holding socially-distanced outdoor worship services in which congregants wear masks"- see pp 1-2 of the ruling.

Clarification of NSW COVID rules for churches- separate buildings
A brief update on my previous post on the COVID-19 rules applying to churches in NSW, where I referred to an "exemption" issued by the Minister for Health relating to weddings and "places of public worship" where there is more than one building on the premises.
The current Public Health Order governing "gatherings" has been formally amended with operation from Monday 14 September 2020 to implement this "exemption". (For the amended text of the Public Health (COVID-19 Restrictions on Gathering and Movement) Order (No 4) 2020 see here.)
There is now a definition in cl 3(1) of the term "separate area" for "places of public worship":
separate area, for a place of public worship, means a building— (a) that is separate from other buildings within the premises, and (b) has been designated as a separate building by the occupier of the premises, and (c) that is staffed by persons officiating or volunteers or other staff who provide services in that building only, and (d) that does not allow persons gathering in different buildings to mingle.
New cl 9 then sets out the rules concerning gatherings in places of public worship:
9 Directions of Minister about places of public worship
(1) The Minister directs that the occupier of a place of public worship must ensure—
(a) for a place of public worship with more than one separate area, the maximum number of persons in each of the areas is the lesser of—
(i) the number of persons that is equivalent to one person per 4 square
metres of space in the area, or
(ii) 100 persons, and
(b) for any other place of public worship, the maximum number of persons on the premises is the lesser of—
metres of space on the premises, or
(ii) 100 persons.
(2) The Minister directs that the occupier of a place of public worship comprised of more than one separate area must ensure that a religious service, activity or event conducted in one separate area does not commence or end at the same time as another religious service, activity or event in another separate area in the place.
(3) Subclause (1) does not apply in relation to a wedding service or a gathering following a wedding service.
Note. Clause 14A(5) provides for the maximum number of persons for wedding services and gatherings following wedding services.
This rule allows a "place of public worship" (a formal "church building") to allow different groups of up to 100 or the "4m2" number (whichever is the smaller) in separate buildings, so long as the events start and finish at different times. (Weddings are subject to a higher limit of 150, set out in cl 14A).
The only other change that may impact churches is that the residential gathering limit of 20 persons may now be enforced, not only against the occupier of the residence, but also against any visitors who join a meeting larger than 20- see new cl 11(1A). This reinforces the rule but will probably not have a major impact, given that most church home bible study groups would already be observing the 20 person limit anyway. Presumably it will make life easier for police in prosecuting persons who attend large parties at private houses.

Update on COVID-19 rules for churches- weddings and services
Following my previous comments on COVID-19 rules applying to churches in NSW (see here for the most recent post), the NSW Minister for Health issued an "exemption" which eases some of the restrictions on Thursday 27 August. The exemption relates to weddings and "places of public worship" where there is more than one building on the premises.

Churches and COVID-19 in NSW- PHO No 4 released
Following earlier announcements by the Premier of NSW, the rules regarding public gatherings in the State have been amended with effect from 1 July 2020, in the Public Health (COVID-19 Restrictions on Gathering and Movement) Order (No 4) 2020 ("PHO No 4"). This post comments on matters that relate to churches and other religious bodies. For my previous post on the rules under PHO No 3, see here.

Worship in Coronavirus time- the latest NSW rules
I have previously commented on the rules concerning movement from home, gatherings in public places and opening of public premises which have been applied in Australia while we deal with the COVID-19 crisis. The NSW Minister for Health has just released the Public Health (COVID-19 Restrictions on Gathering and Movement) Order (No 3) 2020 ("RGM Order No 3"), which commences operation on Monday 1 June 2020 and repeals and replaces the previous orders. In this post I want to outline what the new rules will be in their effect on churches. (These comments will apply in similar ways to other religious groups, of course.)

Q: AngularJS directive multiple selectors I want to make my directive multiple selectors.
My directive is alerting every tap.
I already wrote this code:
angular
    .module('app.directives')
    .directive('onTap', someDirective)
    .directive('button', someDirective);

someDirective.$inject = ['$ionicGesture'];

function someDirective($ionicGesture) {
    return {
        restrict: 'EA',
        link: link
    };

    function link($scope, $elem, $attrs) {
        $ionicGesture.on('tap', function() {
            alert('Tapped!');
        }, $elem);
    }
}

This code problem is this button for example:
<button on-tap="doSomething()">Do something</button>

Because this button tap will alert twice!
I can even solve if i change the directive:
.directive('someDirective', someDirective);

But it means  I have to add it to every button or [onTap] selector.
Any good solution?

A: You can try this:
function someDirective($ionicGesture) {
    var directive = {
        restrict: 'EA',
        link: link
    };

    return directive;

    function link($scope, $elem, $attrs, ctrls) {
        if (directive.name === 'onTap' && $elem.is('button')) {
            return;
        }

        $ionicGesture.on('tap', function() {
            alert('Tapped!');
        }, $elem);
    }
}

Holy Spirit Episcopal School has a sister-school relationship with Saint Michael School, a private school located in San Jose, Costa Rica that serves the needs of children from preschool through high school. The relationship with Saint Michael has played an integral role in our students' acquisition of Spanish and their development of inter-cultural awareness.
In January 1994, the owners of the school in Costa Rica and three of their elementary teachers visited Holy Spirit for a week. The following March, we began a student exchange program with Saint Michael School that has been conducted each year since, alternating visits between schools. Costa Rica's natural resources and Houston's technological resources have given each school a set of unique attractions to share with each other.
In the winter of odd-numbered years, middle school students from Saint Michael School visit Houston for nine days, staying with HSES host families. The Saint Michael students share projects about Costa Rica with our students and visit cultural sites in Houston and Galveston to learn more about our culture. During even-numbered years, HSES fifth through eighth-grade students travel to Costa Rica and stay with Saint Michael School host families for nine days. During this visit, our middle school students share projects about Houston, Texas, and the United States with their Costa Rican peers. They also get to explore a rain forest, see a volcano, and experience the Costa Rican culture. This sister school relationship helps our students develop a global perspective and understanding of another culture, as well as provides an authentic experience in which to use the Spanish language.
During the course of the past few years, each school has developed a Culture Course to prepare participating students for the experience. With this additional support, our cultural exchange program has grown to new levels of excellence.
For more information contact Brooke Frank, Director of the Cultural Exchange Program.

Loris Benito (* 7. Januar 1992 in Aarau) ist ein Schweizer Fussballspieler mit spanischen Wurzeln. Er spielt in der linken Verteidigung und ist ein Neffe von Ivan Benito.

Karriere

Sein Ligadebüt für den FC Aarau gab er am 1. November 2009 unter dem damaligen Trainer Martin Andermatt. 2012 wurde er vom Super-Ligisten FC Zürich verpflichtet.
Zur Saison 2014/15 wechselte er zu Benfica Lissabon, wo er sich aber nicht durchsetzen konnte.

Zur Saison 2015/16 wechselte Benito zum BSC Young Boys und unterschrieb dort einen Vertrag für vier Jahre, den er nicht verlängerte und den Verein im Sommer 2019 verlassen hatte und zu Girondins Bordeaux wechselte.

Nachdem Loris Benito seit dem Sommer 2021 vereinslos war, unterschrieb er am Deadline Day 2022, dem 31. Januar einen neuen Vertrag beim Walliser Verein FC Sion.

Er durchlief sämtliche Nachwuchsnationalteams und galt seit seiner frühen Jugend als Nachwuchstalent. Am 14. November 2018 debütierte Benito in der Schweizer A-Nationalmannschaft anlässlich eines Freundschaftsspiel gegen Katar. Vier Tage später kam er bei einem 5:2-Erfolg über Belgien in der UEFA Nations League per Einwechslung zu seinem Pflichtspieldebüt.

Für die Europameisterschaft 2021 wurde er ins Nati-Kader berufen.

Trivia
Am 10. März 2013 wurde Benito beim Spiel zwischen dem FC Thun und dem FC Zürich von einem Steinmarder gebissen, der sich den Weg ins Stadion gesucht hatte, über das Spielfeld lief und schliesslich von Benito eingefangen wurde. Nachdem er gebissen worden war und den Marder wieder losgelassen hatte, wurde dieser von Torhüter David Da Costa erneut eingefangen und dem Sicherheitspersonal übergeben, welches das Tier auf einer Wiese neben dem Stadion wieder freiliess. Das Spiel selbst wurde für eine Dauer von 30 Minuten unterbrochen und endete in einem 4:0-Sieg des FC Zürich.

Q: how can I hide a device driver from the service controller? I am writing a game hack and want to run cheat engine while the game is running, the anti hack currently detects both the user mode and kernel mode components and terminates the game. I wrote a device driver to hook ZwQuerySystemInformation to hide the process. I would also like to hide the device driver since it is currently still detected.i know i could do this with DKOM but id prefer to use a SSDT hook, does anyone know what api i should hook to filter the list of services/drivers?

A: You can follow this article from the beginning to the start and use its supplied code and customize it to fit your own needs: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/46670/Service-Hiding
Word of advice, if you don't know what you are doing, its best to not play with such stuff.
On a side note, they tend to over complicate their architecture and compilation process so expect some hiccups as its not going to be straightforward solution. But, this should address and solves your question and needs.
EDIT:
You would need to hook the services API that is responsible for showing you what services are running currently on your computer. An example for this is "services.exe" this is where all the data structure(s) you would need to modifiy/alter to properly hide your driver. In specific the SERVICE_RECORD structure and the following members needs to be modified as well: Prev, Next and ServiceName. Once you have found such structure inside services.exe its back to basic algorithm 101. Which is to drop the required driver that you want to hide from those doubly-linked list. The following image is courtesy of the article mentioned before.

This is the basic or general rule behind hiding the service.

I am a water girl, I love my water more than any other drink. However, sometimes I get so busy with what I am doing, I forget to have a drink of water and then suddenly I realize I am parched. You know that kind of thirsty where you feel like you can't go on with any other activity until you get a drink? Yep, that kind of parched. The thirst I feel is deep within me and all I can think about is how thirsty I am and how in need of water I am. When I finally get a drink of water I can drink a full glass of water due to the degree of my thirstiness.
Now imagine you have gone for more than a few hours without water. What would be our outcome if this was to happen? We are told our body is made up of 60% water. If we were to be deprived of no water we could only survive for 2 days to a week, depending on our health, weather conditions, and our physical activity.
In John 4 Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman at the well and in His conversation with her, He refers to Himself as the living water. When we drink of the living water we are satisfied, filled deep within our souls. The truth is, our body NEEDS to consume a certain amount of water on a daily basis in order for us to function properly. Let's look at this need our body has from a spiritual perspective. When we deprive our soul of water, what are the outcomes we will expect? Do we believe we an survive for days, weeks or months without spending time with Jesus and reading God's Word?
Today, our focus is on taking God's Word in as the living water we desperately need. When we go without the Word, we are depriving our soul's of the nourishment, the living water, it so desperately needs.
The question I have for you today is this, what are you trying to use to quench your thirst? What activities, thoughts, or things are you turning to in your time of need and thirst that is outside of Jesus?
Are you in a season where you feel like a dry and weary land?
Who and what are you turning to in your time of thirst?
Call to Action: This week meditate on Psalm 63 – turn the words of this Psalm into a prayer and write in your journal.
Would love to hear from each of you as well. Be sure to comment below what the Holy Spirit is whispering to your heart this week.


If you have recently upgraded or replaced the hard drive for your MacBook or iMac, you will need to reinstall macOS onto it. This guide will show you how to install macOS High Sierra onto a blank hard drive.
Before you begin, you will need to create a bootable flash drive. This requires having access to a Mac currently running High Sierra, in order to be able to download the 7.7 GB High Sierra file in the App Store. You will so need an empty flash drive that can fit 5.4 GB.
Follow this guide to create a bootable macOS High Sierra flash drive before proceeding with the guide.
With the device powered off, disconnect any external hard drives and flash drives.
Plug in your macOS High Sierra bootable flash drive.
Hold down the [option] or [alt] (⌥) key on the keyboard and power on the device.
When you see the boot selection screen as shown, release the [option] key.
Use either the keyboard's arrow keys or the mouse to select "Install MacOS High Sierra." Press [enter] or click your selection with the mouse.
Your Mac will begin copying the installation files from the flash drive. This may take up to 30 minutes.
Depending on the speed of your flash drive, it may look like progress has frozen, but it should resume if you continue to wait.
When prompted, select your language and press [enter], or click the arrow button.
If you don't need to pre-configure your hard drive, skip to step 5. If you're not sure or if the drive is used, it's a good idea to pre-configure your hard drive.
Select "Disk Utility" from the menu and press [enter] or click the continue button.
Select your hard drive from the left column in Disk Utility.
It is most likely the uninitialized drive.
If you have multiple hard drives, make sure you select the correct one as the next step will wipe the selected drive clean.
Click the "Erase" button at the top of the window.
Choose a name for your drive (you can rename it later). Leave the format as Mac OS Extended (journaled), and the scheme as GUID Partition Map.
When the process completes, click "Done."
Exit the Disk Utility by clicking on the red X button on the top left corner of the window.
Select "Reinstall macOS" from the menu and press [enter] or click "Continue."
Read through the license agreement.
Click "Agree" to accept the license agreement.
Your Mac will now install macOS High Sierra. Be patient and wait for it to complete.
Once the install is complete, the device will restart itself.
High Sierra should now be freshly installed! Enjoy!

As a follow-up to my recent Jump List Analysis blog post, I've posted the Jump List parser code that I've been talking about.
Again, this isn't a Windows GUI program. The code consists of two Perl modules that I wrote (and I'm not an expert in either Perl OO programming or writing Perl modules...), and the available archive contains a couple of of example scripts that demonstrate simple uses of the modules.
I wrote these modules in order to provide maximum flexibility to the analyst. For example, I use a five-field timeline (TLN) format for a good bit of my analysis, and that's not something I can get from available tools...not without manually exporting the contents of those tools and writing a separate parser. Also, I know some folks who really love to use SQLite databases (MarkMcKinnon), so providing the code in this manner allows those analysts to write scripts using the Perl DBI to access those databases.
Also, I know that analysts like Corey Harrell will be itching to rip previous versions of Jump List files from VSCs. As such, scripts can be written to parse just the DestList streams out of previous versions of the *.automaticDestinations-ms Jump List files and correlate that data.
The archive also contains a user guide that I wrote that explains not only the modules but how to use them and what data they can provide to you.
As a side note, I ran the lnk.pl script provided in the archive through Perl2Exe to create a simple, standalone Windows EXE file, and then ran it against the same target file (a shortcut in my own Recent folder) that I had tested the Perl script on, and it worked like a champ.
Once again, I am not an expert. These modules should be fairly stable, and I wouldn't expect them to crash your box. However, they are provided as-is, with no warranties or guarantees as to their function. Also, the code uses only core Perl functions and parses the target structures on a binary level, so it's entirely possible that I may have missed a structure or parsed something improperly. If you find something amiss, I'd greatly appreciate you letting me know, and providing some sample data so that I can replicate and address the issue.
That being said, I hope that folks find this code to be useful.
I went looking for the posted code, but it doesn't seem to be in the Google Code repository. Was it taken down?

Q: PCA clustering and analysis of clusters in R I am trying to perform a PCA on a dataset which contains a survey results. The survey was conducted on companies (companies are in rows) and they were asked multiple questions (questions and answers are in columns). Most of the questions were based on a pattern "Please choose an answer from a set X of answers X = {1,2,3,4...}. There are some boolean values but a good share of answers has more variation.
What I would like to do is to reduce the dimensions and look for the similarities among the companies. For this purpose I would like to perform a PCA.
The dataset I will be using can be downloaded from: https://www.kaggle.com/jakubdbrowski/datapca
datapca <- read.csv2("datapca.csv")
datapca <- datapca[,-c(1)]

I need to drop the first column which does not have any information. The dataset was cleaned and prepared beforehand. Now I can perform a PCA.
xxx.pca <- prcomp(datapca, center = TRUE, scale.= TRUE)

Now I would like to look for the numbers of clusters I could get from my data.
fviz_nbclust(xxx.pca$x, FUNcluster=kmeans, k.max = 8)

It looks like it could be difficult to find clusters in this particular dataset.
hopkins(datapca, n=nrow(xxx.pca$x)-1)

However, I would like to continue the analysis to go through the whole analytical process. Once I will receive the updated data, maybe the results will be better.
So I will create two clusters as suggested.
km1<-eclust(xxx.pca$x, "kmeans", hc_metric="eucliden",k=2)

And at this point comes my question. Right now, I would like to try to look at the clusters and determine which loadings are responsible for clustering and characterize the two clusters?
I would also like to ask, whether it is possible to determine the most important loadings, reduce their number (right now there are 150 which makes the graph too complicated) and plot them in a clearer way? Both graphs below are to messy.
fviz_pca_var(xxx.pca, col.var = "black")
biplot(xxx.pca, showLoadings = TRUE, lab = NULL)

Thank you very much in advance!

A: The first 2 PCs explain about 23% of the variation in the data. The first 13 explain about 50% of the data and the first 26 explain 66%. You need to decide how many components are meaningful.
xxx.comp <- summary(xxx.pca)
xxx.comp$importance[, c(2, 13, 26)]
#                             PC2     PC13     PC26
# Standard deviation     3.679506 1.527898 1.225693
# Proportion of Variance 0.090260 0.015560 0.010020
# Cumulative Proportion  0.233080 0.497630 0.658610

Plotting the first two components shows some clustering:
plot(xxx.pca$x[, 1:2], pch=20)

You can start by identifying clusters in 2 dimensions, see if they make sense and then increase the number of dimensions.

While the Ferrari market has retreated a small amount since its meteoric rise over the past half-decade or so, Gooding & Company found the Italian delicacies of significant importance to its bottom-line during its Scottsdale auction this past weekend.
Of the top four sellers, Ferrari accounted for three spots, including the most expensive vehicle Gooding & Company sold. That top seller was the appropriately-hyped 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB "Speciale," an early, one-off show car crafted by Pininfarina rather than Scaglietti.

ALLEN HAILS BATTLING BRITS
Joint GB boss Oliver Allen was proud of his Lions as he hailed Dan Bewley for an epic battle with double world champ Bartosz Zmarzlik.
Joint Great Britain boss Oliver Allen was proud of his Lions stars as he hailed Dan Bewley for a breathtaking battle with world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik.
The Brits finished sixth in last Saturday's rain-curtailed Monster Energy FIM Speedway of Nations Final in Lublin, scoring 12 points.
While they were unable to win a medal, Allen was impressed with how a young team performed. And he particularly enjoyed Belle Vue favourite Bewley's heroics as he roared past Polish pair Zmarzlik and Szymon Wozniak on the opening lap of heat one.
I think that was the first time I have seen Zmarzlik passed all year. It's always the other way around. Bartosz passes people; he doesn't get passed, so that was a fantastic ride.
Oliver Allen
While Zmarzlik recaptured the lead, the race underlines the Cumbrian's huge promise on the world stage.
Allen said: "I think that was the first time I have seen Zmarzlik passed all year. It's always the other way around. Bartosz passes people; he doesn't get passed, so that was a fantastic ride.
"Dan didn't hold on, but when he passed Bartosz, it made people stand up and look. I thought Dan rode really well.
"I thought both boys rode really well. A couple of mistakes cost us, but it is what it is."
Allen and fellow team manager Simon Stead tracked by far the youngest team in the Final, with 22-year-old Robert Lambert skippering Bewley, 21, and Drew Kemp, 18.
It was a tough night for the young guns as Lambert rolled into the tapes twice, while Bewley also crashed in Lions' last heat against Sweden, which saw the Brits slump to a 7-0 loss.
But Allen said: "My main message is I am proud of the boys. All weekend they handled themselves really well. I also don't want any fingers pointed at Robert. He has had a brilliant year.
"Okay, he touched the tapes twice, but it was a nervy night and there was movement from people around him at the start when he did it. I am certainly not pointing any fingers. It sums up what was a weird year.
"Robert was a leader all weekend. I know we only rode one day, but we were there from the Thursday and his attitude and professionalism was great. I am proud of him and he can be really proud of himself. He was a great role model for Jordan (Palin), Drew and Dan. So I am really, really pleased with that.
"I thought Robert and Dan rode well. In those conditions, they rode really well. Dan had his crash and Robert touched the tapes twice, but it can happen. Robert says he doesn't think he has touched the tapes this year.
"On reflection, I am really proud of how our boys conducted themselves. I couldn't have asked anymore from them. Off track, they were fantastic. I wouldn't have changed anything in that way. I wouldn't change anything about how we prepared or the team we took."

← Moderates Rally for "Sanity"?
This doesn't mean, however, that the Comedy Central fans are likely to be three times more effective than Beck's fans from FOX. A March isn't a Movement.
I was surprised that so many people attended the Comedy Central rally. Organizers picked a more difficult date (colder, and after school starts) and, because of the relatively tight time line, had less of a chance to publicize their efforts and coordinate logistics–including transportation.
At the same time, Beck's 9-12 rally-ers can sign onto an organization and an ongoing campaign. Despite Glenn Beck's claims otherwise, there was plenty of politics at the rally, with prominent Republicans featured in the program.
In contrast, nearly three times as many Americans went to see a Comedy Central performance. The leaders explicitly rejected politics (although Jon Stewart railed against polemics and mass media coverage), and candidates for office didn't appear at the mic. Neither Stewart nor Colbert fronts a political organization, and attendees were left with little clear direction beyond a call to be civil.
Aside from Stewart at one point asking us to vote, and Kid Rock asking us to 'care,' there was no call for action, no outcome.
I'm thinking that some good may come out of the rallies: if one million people live more moral lives and restore honor, and another six billion work to promote tolerance and civility, life will be better for all of us.
