KILLING TIME BEFORE THE ASTEROID HITS
It's Garry Shandling's Life
If Garry Shandling did nothing else, THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW would be his perfect comedy statement. Anyone who's written for or been around talk show hosts immediately recognized Larry Sanders. Vain, insecure, petty, funny, and cocksure, reliant upon an unseen backstage army, constantly worried about his place in the food chain. Who would want to live like that? Well, Larry Sanders, for one.
Showbiz is a generally awful place, filled with genuinely awful people. Shandling made this his centerpiece, and there were more than a few cringe-inducing moments on LARRY SANDERS. Yet, despite the shallowness of his character, Shandling made him funny and compelling. As bad as Larry could be, he was often outpaced by his celebrity guests. You almost felt sorry for him.
Like Roseanne and Seinfeld, Shandling surrounded himself with first-rate character actors. Rip Torn as Larry's producer and Jeffrey Tambor as his announcer gave the show its kick. Penny Johnson, as Larry's personal assistant Beverly, convincingly showed how frustrating and maddening that job would be. The rest of the revolving cast -- Janeane Garofalo, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Jeremy Piven, Scott Thompson, Wallace Langham, Sarah Silverman, Bob Odenkirk, among others -- added texture to Larry's tortured world.
I don't know if Shandling was looking to influence the likes of Tina Fey and Larry David, but their respective shows bear the LARRY SANDERS mark. Shandling simply did his best work about a world he intimately understood. And while he was considered cutting edge for his time, Shandling owed much to the comedy before him.
IT'S GARRY SHANDLING'S SHOW, his first series, is often lauded as being meta -- breaking the fourth wall, acknowledging the medium, playing with form. But as I'm sure Shandling knew, this was done at television's dawn.
THE BURNS AND ALLEN SHOW offered the same conceit, though at a time when most Americans didn't own a TV. George Burns, as himself, talked to the audience, set up subsequent scenes, even watched his own show on a monitor in his office, commenting on the characters. As contemporary as Shandling was, he also honored the classics (Jack Benny, too).
In an age of interchangeable, frenzied comedy, Shandling seems almost sedate and measured. Not many comics find that quiet voice. Rest in that peace, Garry Shandling.

Hillary Clinton has become embroiled in another "'mis-speaking" incident after claims that she stayed at the "bombed" Europa hotel in Belfast were rubbished.
The Europa, located in central Belfast, was where most journalists stayed to cover the decades-long conflict.
The gaffe bears similar resemblance to when she came badly unstuck during the last presidential campaign against Barack Obama after she was forced to admit that she "misspoke" about a trip to Bosnia.
She conceded she "did misspeak" about a 1996 visit to Tuzla in Bosnia in which she had falsely claimed she had landed under sniper fire and had to rush across the landing strip.
She had blamed tiredness for the dramatic description that was shown to have been significantly exaggerated.
But hotel sources confirmed there was "no way" there was a board in sight when the power couple arrived.
During a speech on Iraq while she was fighting Mr Obama to become Democratic presidential nominee Mrs Clinton said: "I remember landing under sniper fire.
A spokesman for the Mrs Clinton's spokesmen told the Belfast newspaper, Sunday Life, that there was "no comparison" between the two incidents.
He added that she had simply been trying to express a sincere "perception" of a Belfast in darker days.
"I think what Secretary Clinton was trying to do was draw contrasts between contemporary Belfast, which I know has changed hugely from the Belfast of 1995," her spokesman said.
"Secretary Clinton was simply contrasting. The place she had in her mind still had quite a bit of tension.


One of the most influential books for those following the Hermetic esoteric mysteries, the Kybalion is a must read for followers of Ancient Egyptian or Greek metaphysics.

You can't miss the food court at the new 99 Market Asian Supermarket at Blalock and I-10. It's right inside the front door. And the sushi chefs are out on display -- you gotta love the combination of white paper face masks and old-fashioned French toques. The buffet line looks alluring, with a plate lunch selling for $5.99. There are all kinds of good-looking buns and well-dimpled dumplings.
But the thing that really caught my eye was the Chinese barbecue case. There were plenty of whole roast ducks for sale. I used one of these to make duck-hoisin tamales one Christmas. They were awesome. There were also a lot of big barbecued squid in the case. I can't say I have had those before. The roast pork looked fabulous, and there was a pig's head and four pig's feet sitting underneath the crispy-cooked hog.
Ever since the Chinese BBQ restaurant a few doors down from the supermarket in Hong Kong City Mall went out of business, we haven't really had a great place to get whole ducks and roast pork to go. And the meat hanging in this case looked so good, I felt compelled to buy half a pound of roast pork to take home. When I asked for some barbecue sauce, the guy behind the counter said, "How about ginger sauce?"
The pork was succulent; the spicy crust broke in big pieces like garlicky pork brittle. And the ginger, garlic and green onion sauce was so good, I am trying to steal the idea for a ginger salsa recipe. The pork was $6 a pound. Honey roast spare ribs are the same price. Get some soon.

Who is the Crafty Cat?
You've probably heard of bentonite clay or seen it in a DIY project. It has become quite popular recently and for good reason. Bentonite clay has amazing detoxifying properties and can be used in many different ways. Today, I'd like to share on of my favorites which is a bentonite clay hair mask.
What is bentonite clay & what does it do?
Bentonite clay (or Montmorillonite) is composed of volcanic ash and mostly harvested in France, Italy and the U.S. It has been used for centuries by indigenous cultures in the Andes, Central Africa and Australia for healing.
Bentonite clay can be used both internally and externally to detoxify and cleanse body or hair. In addition it contains many valuable minerals and vitamins.
When you , there are a few things to look out for. Make sure you buy it from a trusted high-quality source as some cheap types of bentonite clay can contain trace amounts of lead and other heavy metals. It should be gray or cream colored, not bright white. It should also be odorless and not have any particular taste.
If you like this post, don't forget to pin it!
Bentonite clay is also great for your hair. It can be used as a shampoo alternative if you are doing no-poo or simply as a scalp detoxifying and nutrient packed hair mask that you can use as part of your wash.
It cleanses without stripping, makes the hair shiny, acts as a natural detangler and enhances curl pattern. This makes this hair mask ideal for curly or thick hair. However, it can really be used for any type of hair.
This bentonite clay hair mask is a great shampoo alternative. It detoxifies and cleanses the scalp, acts as a detangler as well as enhances shine. Use instead of shampoo or in addition to show your hair some extra love.
Mix all ingredients until you get a yogurt-like consistency (adjust liquid as necessary).
Make sure mixture doesn't dry in you hair, so cover with a shower cap or something else to keep it from drying.
Apply any leftover mixture to your face as a face mask.

House of Tales Entertainment GmbH, trading as House of Tales, was a German video game developer based in Bremen. The company was known for its point-and-click adventure games.

History
House of Tales was founded in 1998 by Tobias Schachte and Martin Ganteföhr, who had previously developed children's video games for the ZDF. The company's first game, The Mystery of the Druids, was published by CDV Software in 2001. The company initially lacked a corporate office and organized in a decentralized fashion online, a rarity at the time. In 2008, House of Tales was bought by DTP Entertainment, but initially remained an independent development studio under the new parent company. At the end of 2009, tensions arose between the House of Tales management and that of DTP regarding the future direction of the studio and the poor sales of 15 Days. As a result, Schachte left the company in January 2010. Ganteföhr departed in March. Thereafter, House of Tales' company headquarters was moved by DTP from Bremen to Hannover, the location of Cranberry Production, another DTP-owned development house. House of Tales was subsequently integrated into the Cranberry team, marking the end of the company.

In December 2014, the Swedish publisher THQ Nordic acquired the rights to House of Tales' adventure games and made them available via digital distribution platforms.

Games

For all of its games, House of Tales used a proprietary development environment called Inca ("Interactive Narrator's Companion for Authoring"), which includes a graphical user interface for building the infrastructure of a game and an adventure-specific scripting language.

Awards
The Moment of Silence was voted Adventure of the Year in 2004 by PC Games and the website Adventure-Treff. Overclocked received the Innovation Award at the 2007 Deutscher Computerspielpreis.

IRS says New Free File Agreement Signed to Strengthen Program, help Taxpayers
IRS says New Free File Agreement Signed to Strengthen Program, help Taxpayers| site |
(December 30, 2019) Today (December 30, 2019), the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published the following information:
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced today an agreement with Free File, Inc. (FFI) designed to bring more clarity for taxpayers choosing to use free online software during the 2020 filing season. The agreement reached will help make the Free File program more taxpayer-friendly while strengthening consumer protections in several key areas.
"This updated agreement is part of a larger effort by the IRS to help taxpayers meet their tax obligations," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "It continues to show the partnership we enjoy with the Free File partners and the commitment we both share in helping taxpayers since the program's creation 18 years ago. The improved process will make Free File stronger and give taxpayers another reason to consider this valuable software option."
"The IRS and FFI will also continue to work together to identify and explore ways to better help low- to moderate-income taxpayers and to pursue meaningful opportunities to enhance taxpayer awareness and use of the Free File Program beyond the 2020 filing season," Rettig added.
Each year, Free File partners, acting through FFI, offer their software free to eligible taxpayers. Any taxpayer earning $69,000 or less can find one or more free commercial software products available by visiting IRS.gov/freefile. Some providers offer both free federal and free state tax preparation. Active duty military personnel with incomes of $69,000 or less may use a Free File software product of their choice without regard to other criteria.
The program also offers Free File Fillable Forms, a fillable version of IRS' printed forms best suited for taxpayers experienced in preparing returns by hand and who need limited assistance. The Fillable Forms program, which is available to anyone regardless of income, will be available again in the 2020 tax season for people completing their tax year 2019 returns.
Highlights of the new agreement reached on the Free File program include several features designed to make the program more taxpayer friendly. Among the features in the new agreement, FFI members:
Will not exclude their Free File Landing page from an organic internet search.
Will ensure a link on their sites is available to return taxpayers to the IRS Free File website at the earliest feasible point in the preparation process if they do not qualify for the Member's Free File offer, and
Will regularly survey taxpayers who successfully e-filed a tax return through the Free File program, reporting their results quarterly to the IRS.
"These steps will help further protect taxpayers and make important improvements to the program," Rettig said. "The IRS is committed to improving the Free File program and providing a great option for taxpayers to consider when preparing their taxes."

Accel Partners Adds Google Executive Sukhinder Singh Cassidy As CEO-in-Residence
PALO ALTO, California, April 8 /PRNewswire/ --
- Sukhinder Singh Cassidy Brings Growth and Early Stage Experience to the Global Firm
Accel Partners, a leading global venture and growth equity firm funding companies from inception through the growth stage, today announced the addition of Sukhinder Singh Cassidy as CEO-in-Residence. Ms. Singh Cassidy joins Accel from Google where she served most recently as President for Asia-Pacific (APAC) Latin American Operations. In this role, she was responsible for all of Google's commercial operations in both regions, and built the company's presence from inception to its current scale serving users, advertisers and partners across 40 domains and 103 different countries throughout APAC and Latin America.
Having already worked with the Accel team as a Google executive and an entrepreneur, I know first-hand Accel's approach to engaging and supporting their companies, said Ms. Singh Cassidy, Accel Partners. Accel's portfolio of category-transforming digital media companies such as AdMob, Etsy, Facebook, Glam Media, Kayak, and others creates a rich set of opportunities for marketplace dialog and new category creation.

As CEO-In-Residence, Ms. Singh Cassidy will be evaluating new venture and growth equity opportunities in partnership with Accel in addition to working with companies in Accel's digital media and advertising portfolio. Sukhinder's reputation as an entrepreneurial leader in both startups and Google are well known in the industry, said Jim Breyer, Partner, Accel Partners. We're very pleased to have Sukhinder join the Accel team.
Sukhinder is the rare executive who has excelled both at founding internet companies as well as running a multi-billion dollar business within Google, said Theresia Gouw Ranzetta, Partner, Accel Partners. Her experience will be a real asset for both Accel's early stage and growth franchise.
Sukhinder is a world-class Internet executive, said Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and former Google colleague of Ms. Singh Cassidy. It will be great to be working together again as part of the Accel family.
Prior to running Asia Pacific and Latin America, Ms. Singh Cassidy joined Google in 2003 as the first General Manager for Google Local Maps, helping to launch these innovative new services, then expanding her responsibilities to lead the company's strategic partnerships for Google Books, Scholar, and Video. From 1999-2003, Ms. Singh Cassidy was Co-founder and Senior Vice President of Business Development for Yodlee.com Inc., a leading solutions provider to the global financial services industry.

For her work in the Internet industry, Ms. Singh Cassidy has been profiled in numerous publications globally, including Fortune, Business Week, Canada Post, India Today, and the book, Innovation Nation, profiling Canada's most innovative business leaders.
In addition to Accel's continued investments in early-stage startups from the Accel X early stage fund, Accel announced its US$480 million growth fund in December of 2008. This fund will focus on growth equity opportunities across a broad range of sectors, including: information technology, internet, digital media, mobile, networking, software, and services. As with Accel's early-stage efforts, Accel Growth Fund will play an active role in helping entrepreneurs and management teams build category-defining, global businesses.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION DAILY NEWS - 08 JANUARY
Listening to Europe – European Commission launches its 2015 series of Citizens' Dialogues in Riga
The European Commission today launches a new series of Citizen's Dialogues, giving people across Europe a chance to talk directly with members of the European Commission. This is part of a clear commitment to better communication with citizens. In the Mission Letters sent to all Commissioners in September 2014, President Juncker called on the College to be "politically active in the Member States and in dialogues with citizens." First Vice-President Frans Timmermans said: "The European Union is more than just 'Brussels' and that's why we want all Commissioners to spend more time with people in the Member States. Listening to their concerns and how they think that Europe can help will allow us to do our job better. My colleagues and I look forward to a series of lively and open discussions with Europe's citizens." See full press release.

Employment and Social Situation: Quarterly Review shows small but consistent growth in employment
According to the Employment and Social Situation Quarterly Review published today, the economic recovery which started in the EU in the spring of 2013 remains subdued and recent GDP forecasts for the EU have been revised down. However employment has shown a small but consistent growth in and has increased in the large majority of EU Member States. Employment has even increased in countries with a very high unemployment rate such as Greece, Spain and Portugal. It has also improved across the large majority of sectors, expanding significantly in the services sector. Not only temporary and part-time employment has increased, but also permanent and full time. However, the return to pre-crisis unemployment levels is less rapid than hoped for. See press release.
Five years on from the Haiti earthquake: The EU's response
On 12 January 2010, Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake that took 222,750 people's lives, injured many thousands and made 1.5 million homeless. Today, the amount of people still living in camps – those formally known as Internally Displaced People – has gone down to 85,000. While many challenges still lay ahead of Haiti, in terms of poverty eradication, political stability and environmental degradation, the EU has been able to support the Haitian population right from the aftermath of the earthquake in January 2010 up to now, with our aid reaching one in every two Haitians. More information is available online.

The Chameleon Theatre Circle has made an audacious choice in staging the world premiere of David Vazdauskas' play My Beautiful Infinity, and their instincts have paid off with a sharp production of a play that is intriguing, thought provoking, funny, and nearly defies description. I shall try.
At a table in a library, Renner—not his first or last name, but his identity—is working industriously on his novel. Asked what it's about, he replies that it is about a man writing a novel in a library. And what is the man in Renner's nascent novel writing about? About a man in a library writing a novel ...and that novel is about a man in a library writing (curve ball here) a play. And what is the play about? There's the unknown quantity, the kink in Renner's speculation, like a set of narrative Russian nesting dolls that go on infinitesimally. Renner is obsessed with infinity—which he states quite emphatically, is not the same as forever. Renner has conversations on this theme with three other people, each of whom take on different identities that may be real, or may be inventions of Renner's imagination, or as he often is prone to state, "my mind's eye."
There is Sarah, who may be a literary agent, or merely playing the part of one, or may be the director of Renner's play, or his therapist or his mother—even there, we have two quite different variants of mother, one nurturing and protective, the other cold and demeaning. George, who also may be the director of Renner's play, or his father, similarly appearing in two variations, or a regular guy who has had all he can take of Renner's ruminations about infinity. And then there is Eve, the librarian (she too comes in multiple personas), or an attractive woman who captivates Renner in a coffee shop. In any given scene, whether these persons are having an actual encounter with Renner, or are characters of his creation, is subject to speculation back and forth. Likewise, we can find ourselves suddenly in the future, or at least in Renner's conception of the future.
Renner appears to be trying to write his future, to get ahead of the onrush of time and take control over what will have happened at some point when he can look back at what has not yet been. If that sentence is confusing, it is the type of dialogue will hear throughout My Beautiful Infinity. If you enjoy puzzles and speculative arguments, you will be drawn in with relish, as I was. Otherwise, you may have your work cut out for you. In any case, Renner repeatedly comes back to his primary cosmic complaint: he wants, very badly it seems, to fall in love, but how can one "fall" in love, when existence itself is infinite, with no beginning and no end? This yearning is a point of reference to hang on to while making sense of Renner's game of grammatical and cosmological leapfrog.
The play is constructed in a series of scenes separated by blackouts. It is played in the round in the Black Box theater at Artistry, and during each blackout Renner drags his library table from one corner of the stage to another. This allows audience members to see scenes from different vantage points, and no one watches the actors' backs for the entire play. It also gives each scene a closing punctuation mark; that last scene is gone, and now we start anew. There is no through- narrative, but fragments, each with its place on a story arc that seems indeed like it had no beginning and may have no end.
Scott Gilbert has directed My Beautiful Infinity as if it ought to make perfect sense, which is the right way to go. The challenges to logic, the questions of where it begins and where it ends, and the circuitous meandering of Renner's mind are all made plain. We don't need the ground rules underlined to grasp what is going on, but need only to jump on board and take the ride. Considering the numerous starts and stops, black-outs and sudden shifts in, and the tense-twisted language used throughout, Gilbert keeps everything moving with remarkable clarity.
David Wasserman is extraordinary as Renner. Wasserman appeared in the lead role of Randle McMurphy in Chameleon's production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest last fall, and he brings a great deal of the same sarcasm and snarky mischief to Renner. This time, though, he has a much more complex vortex of inner thought than he did with as the gregarious McMurphy. Wasserman draws us into Renner's searing intelligence, which alternately amuses and terrifies the young man. It is hard to like this brooding, self-satisfied young man, but we can sympathize with his anguish, an unceasing barrage of thought that gives him no rest.
Ariel Leaf has a steadying presence as Sarah, especially spot-on as the therapist, who despite Renner's obsession with infinity, must note the limits of a 50-minute session. Trevor Keith does a swell job as George, whose patience is most strained by Renner's incessant brooding and arrogance, a practical fellow in the here and now who sees no use for Renner's cosmological rants. As Eve, Eva Gemlo is excellent, shifting ever so slyly in her response to Renner from scene to scene, whether prim, sultry or in between. She breathes life into her characterizations to make us wonder, every time, is Eve real this time, or another product of Renner's endless writing?
Aside from that writing desk, covered in sheets of writing paper, some crunched up in balls after being rejected by their author, there is only a table and a couple of chairs to form the setting. Costume designer Lorine Menzhuber makes good use of overshirts and sweaters that can be easily shed to change the characters from scene to scene, with an especially clever touch being the look-alike sweaters for Renner and George, when the latter appears as the more supportive father figure. The lighting designed by Dietrich Poppen, is used effectively to illuminate Renner's encounters with different versions of his riffs on infinity.
I liked My Beautiful Infinity for its intriguing speculation about the nature of finite experience in the context of a universe that is infinite in time and space. Renner is not a likeable character, albeit his sharp wit is often amusing, and the play begins and ends without an emotional pay off. The play does pose questions as to where we are in the scheme of infinity, and what that means regarding control of our own destiny. Heady stuff, but presented in an engaging manner that keeps the audience on its toes, prompts a good number of laughs, and concludes in a way that amazingly shines hope on Renner's search for love on the shores of his beautiful infinity.

Cyborgs: Is Transhumanism Changing the World?
Steve Austin, fictional character from The Six Million Dollar Man–that's the answer you might have received in the 1970s if you were to ask anybody the question, "what are cyborgs?" Today in 2015, the same question might yield multiple answers, and plenty of them would be real life, flesh and blood (and biomechatronic, of course) people.
You might hear the name Rich Lee, who implanted magnets into his ears that work like earbuds, or Kevin Warwick, a pioneer in neurosurgical device implantation. The name Neil Harbisson might come up, famous in the media for his skull-implanted antenna that allows him to hear color, and for becoming the world's first legally recognized cyborg–and these are just the famous ones.
Grandpa Jerry with his pacemaker? Technically, he's a cyborg. That little girl down the street with cochlear implants? Yup, also a cyborg. Even Cousin Paul, who just had surgery for an internal penile pump implant, is now a cyborg. They're everywhere.
When Science Fiction Becomes Reality
Of course, it's still natural that many associate cyborgs with science fiction. The most striking early depictions were of visibly half-human, half-machine beings, much like The Borg from Star Trek (the moniker itself derived from shorthand for "cyborg"), or RoboCop.
It's understandable that we'd distance ourselves from calling a person with hearing aids or even reading glasses a cyborg–but by some definitions, they are just that. Founding executive editor of Wired magazine goes so far as to argue that homo sapiens began as and still are cyborgs–but most tend to agree that the term "cyborg" denotes implantable technology, not as easily removable as a Google Glass unit or headphones for example. Being a cyborg basically comes down to possessing technology that becomes integrated with the wearer–or part of the wearer, if you will.
It's hard to imagine the mainstream adoption of cybernetics, at such an early stage of its existence–but one only has to look at the humble beginnings of any widespread technology to see that once materials and production become cheap enough, somebody will find a way to manufacture it in quantity and sell it to everyone else.
Virtual reality headsets, for example, were an expensive pipedream in 1968, but are poised to invade every living room in Middle America in 2016. In the 1940s, computers used to fill entire rooms. In 2013, this guy put one inside of him arm. You get the picture.
Ready to Become a Cyborg?
The other major nerve that cybernetics strikes in many is the invasive, implantable side of it. A lot of people are a bit squeamish about the whole "surgery" thing–but of course, they'll get over it as the trend catches on and it becomes more publicly acceptable to cut yourself open to shove hardware inside.
More realistically, a trained professional would provide this service, somebody like renowned body modification artists and pioneer Steve Haworth, a man who's been credited with performing the first sub-dermal implants, and who recently put a cell-phone-sized computer into the forearm of cyborg Tim Cannon.
Still, DIY culture is strong and there are those biohackers, aka "grinders", that will opt to take the knife to themselves, though this is not advised by many. If you have a hard time believing that people will willingly mutilate themselves to achieve transhuman aims, ask yourself this: do you have a tattoo? How about a piercing?
Imagine the incredulous looks you'd get if you were to travel back in time to the 1950s to tell the common American that by 2012, 42% of people will have injected colored ink into their dermis and that 61% of adults will have punched a hole through an extremity like an ear, a tongue, or a nipple, simply to hang jewelry there. With that in mind, cybernetics suddenly don't seem that far-fetched–especially when a huge advocate for cybernetics and transhumanist ventures is running for U.S. President in 2016.
A Movement Around Transhumanism
Zoltan Istvan really has no chance of winning the coveted title of Commander in Chief, but he knows it. He's not really running to win, but rather to bring more attention to the Transhumanist movement, an international and intellectual movement that aims to transform the human condition by developing and creating widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities. He's the political posterboy for anybody that dreams of a future where the marriage of tech and biology is the norm–and perhaps even a future where we've conquered death.
"As a group, we in the cybernetic community are a branch of the transhumanist movement," says Neil Harbisson, "who want human consciousness to continue beyond biological death within technology."
Harbisson, and many other cyborgs and transhumanists are excited by the prospect of immortality. The ultimate aim of many futurists/transhumanists revolves around conquering death and reaching the next stage of human evolution, where instead of succumbing to aging and failing organs, we either replace them with spare parts, or outfit them from birth with advances such as a cybernetic sock that electronically and seamlessly controls primary functions.
Some even think that there will come a time that we separate the consciousness from the organic body and upload it into a server, where it will exist in perpetuity as a sort of software version of yourself so that you may "live" forever within a computer network.
How Cyborgs will Change Society
If these types of concepts don't necessarily sit right with you, you're not alone–and not everybody in the cybernetic community is on the hunt for the technological equivalent of The Holy Grail. Still, concerns over how cybernetics might change society are abound.
"If a lot of people are able to afford a device, a technology, or a surgery that enhances their capabilities, the average capability in society shifts upward," says Bertolt Meyer, a social psychologist at the Chemnitz University of Technology. "That means that something that is normal today will be seen as a shortcoming in the future because a lot of people are 'better than normal' in the future."
We already see this in today's society. Anybody that doesn't own a cellphone is seen as a philistine. Even those that hold on to older technology, like desktop computers running Windows 95 or box televisions, are subconsciously filed as a "different", usually on the basis of socio-economics or philosophy.
So what happens when little Peter gets bullied at school because he doesn't have the latest Apple earbud implants or a Samsung mental receiver? He'll be one of the few children that still has to watch TV on a screen while the teacher beams the information directly into the heads of the other students.
On the flip side, natural deference to what we don't know and don't understand has ensured that the road to a cyborg-inhabited future will not be met without resistance. Cyborg Steve Mann can attest to this as the sole victim of what might be considered the world's first cybernetic hate crime.
As he and his family were eating at a McDonald's in France, several employees expressed discontent with his Digital Eye Glass, a cybernetic enhancement that resembles Google Glass. Even though he presented the employees with medical documentation explaining the device's necessity to Mann, the documents were ripped up and Mann was assaulted by one of the employees.
"He angrily grabbed my eyeglass, and tried to pull it off my head," says Mann. "The eyeglass is permanently attached and does not come off my skull without special tools."
While their actions are not justifiable, it's easy to understand why Mann's assaulters feel the way they do; go point a recording camera in the face of just about anybody walking down the street and see how they respond. We get uncomfortable at the thought of extensive police surveillance, let alone unwarranted recording by the average cyborg, and examples of how those intent on achieving selfish aims will abuse new technologies.
A New Type of "Cyber" Crime
Hackers have become good enough with ransomware, for example, that not even the FBI is able to thwart them. Imagine that instead of your most valuable files being held for ransom, it's your bionic heart's shutoff switch. Terrifying indeed.
Fortunately, grinders and biohackers are precisely the ones who worry about these types of things. The advent of RFID chips, for example, have ignited the ire of many conspiracy theorists, claiming that the government will be able to shut off the chips that contain your health records, banking information, and identity, and will be able to track you via these methods. What they fail to mention is that the government–and many other private entities and corporations–already track you via these methods.
The RFID chip utilizes the exact same technology as credit cards, and don't present any more of a danger than we see in existing technology. Of course, a mandatory government issued RFID system would be just as scary as a mandatory government issued credit card system–but ultimately it would take control of the same technologies.
Fortunately, for now, we will continue to tread lightly and move slowly when it comes to cybernetic enhancements, because, ironically technology is moving too fast for the field. It wouldn't make sense for the majority of the world to be constantly performing surgery to accommodate upgrades in technology. But while it may be slow-going now, a cyborg future is an inevitability.
"This stuff is going to happen," says Bertolt Meyer, "it's just a question of when."

African American Authors of the Harlem Renaissance
This course will examine the work of three major African American authors: Claude McKay, Zora Neale Hurston, and Langston Hughes. These three did much to set the tone of the flourishing of black literary culture after World World One known as the Harlem Renaissance, producing work as influential as it was controversial for its bold representations of sexuality, urban vice, folk culture, and the secular music of jazz and the blues. This course will set these writers in their historical, intellectual, and cultural contexts, considering aspects including the world socialist movement, ethnography and the revaluation of American folk cultures, modern mass culture, and the great migration. We will read a selection of their poetry, novels, short fiction, essays, and personal memoirs.

Multicultural, Identity, Pluralism, and Tolerance (IP) courses examine the social construction of collective identities, the emergence of representative voices from varying social and cultural standpoints, and the effects of prejudice, intolerance, and discrimination. The purpose of courses in this category is to analyze the general principles underlying tolerance, or the lack of it.
G-Empire/Race/Ethnicity
Empire, Race, and/or Ethnicity courses focus on ways that race matters in literature, media, and culture. Recent courses have examined such matters as native American literature and film; nineteenth-century writings by slavers and enslaved people in the U.S. and British colonies; fiction and filmmaking in post-apartheid South Africa; Latinx science fiction and environmental justice, and the novels of Toni Morrison.

Q: myErrorHandler getting error I am getting following errors messages:

Notice: Use of undefined constant myErrorHandler - assumed 'myErrorHandler' in C:\xampp\htdocs\Webpage\Security\functions.php on line 78

and

Warning: set_error_handler() expects the argument (myErrorHandler) to be a valid callback in C:\xampp\htdocs\Webpage\Security\functions.php on line 78

I cant figure out what I need to do to correct the error. I want the function myErrorHandler to handle all the error's on the webpage.
function DB_Connect()
{
    static $conn;
   if (!$conn) {
        mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
        $conn = mysqli_connect(DEF_Server,DEF_User,DEF_Password,DEF_Database);
    }
    return $conn;
}

set_error_handler(myErrorHandler);
function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
    error_log("$errstr in $errfile:$errline");
    header('HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error', TRUE, 500);
    readfile($NAV_DB_Error500);
    exit;
}

I have fixed following per "SebTM":
set_error_handler("myErrorHandler");
function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
    error_log("$errstr in $errfile:$errline");
    header('HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error', TRUE, 500);
    readfile($NAV_DB_Error500);
    exit;
}

I am now getting following error, it removed the Notice, but the Warning is still there:

Warning: set_error_handler() expects the argument (myErrorHandler) to be a valid callback in C:\xampp\htdocs\Webpage\Security\functions.php on line 78

A: You need to pass the name of the function (after declaration) to "set_error_handler" as string e.g.
set_error_handler("myErrorHandler");
An error-handler should also return "true" as boolean to avoid internal php error-handling!

Q: Is it possible to simulate Javascript-style prototypes in Java? I'd like to know whether it's possible to simulate Javascript prototypes in Java. Is it possible to associate a list of variables with a function in Java? I want to create something similar to Javascript prototypes, if that's even possible.
So here's an example (in Javascript):
    var s = doStuff.prototype;
s.isImplemented = false;
function doStuff(){
    //this function has not yet been implemented
}

var s = functionIsImplemented.prototype;
s.isImplemented = true;
function functionIsImplemented(theFunction){
    //this function returns true if the function has been identified as "implemented"
    if(theFunction.prototype.isImplemented == true){
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
alert(functionIsImplemented(doStuff)); //this should print "false"
alert(functionIsImplemented(functionIsImplemented)); //this should print "true"

Is there any way to do the equivalent of this in Java?

A: Yes, it's certainly possible, and can be very useful for some situations.
Typically you would do the following:

*

*Create a class that contains a Map of properties. This becomes your "Base Object" class for all your prototypes. K is probably String, V is probably Object

*Create getters and setters for your properties

*Optionally add other utility methods, for example checking if a function is implemented basically means checking of the property map contains a specific key

*Implement prototype-based inheritance by either cloning the property map of another object or (more complex) keeping a reference back to the original object

*Use function objects of some sort to allow the storage of arbitrary code within properties

It's not as elegant as if you do this directly in a dynamic language, but it works and gets you the same benefits (runtime flexibility, avoid constraints of rigid OOP, fast proptotyping etc.).
It also has the same downsides - loss of static type checking and some performance overhead being the main ones.
As an example, the open source game I wrote (Tyrant) uses this approach for all the in-game objects.

President Trump police speech "jokes" about excessive use of force
By CHARLES BROOKS
President Trump has again raised concerns with his tough on crime message when he publicly endorsed the use of police violence. On July 28th, the president visited Suffolk County Community College to talk about the federal plans for the MS-13 gang: "…Right now, we have less than 6,000 Enforcement and Removal Officers in ICE. This is not enough to protect a nation of more than 320 million people. It's essential that Congress fund another 10,000 ICE officers…" But then the president went on to say: "And when you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon -- you just see them thrown in, rough -- I said, please don't be too nice. Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over? Like, don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody -- don't hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?"
While the White House dismissed the reckless remarks as a joke, widespread criticism and condemnation has been nevertheless unleashed from both law enforcement and civil liberties groups. Described as "unconscionable", "irresponsible" and "unprofessional", the president remarks underline the deep concerns that range from blatant violation of constitutional rights to the negative impact on police-community relations. What is equally disturbing is that in the past his inflammatory comments not only sparked several incidents of physical violence at his campaign events but his election victory triggered a nationwide outbreak of racial attacks.
This latest controversy should serve as a reminder of the 2016 campaign and primary season when Trump would often refer to himself as the law and order president; voiced his support for stop and frisk tactics and federal intervention as a way to deal with the gun violence in Chicago; while delivering his get tough message via social media: "This election is a choice between law, order & safety - or chaos, crime & violence. I will make America safe again for everyone. Crime is out of control, and rapidly getting worse. Look what is going on in Chicago and our inner cities."
As part of the presidential transition from Obama to Trump, the
White House website was redesigned to include issues deemed important to the new president such as Standing Up for our Law Enforcement Community. The new president escalated concerns with his appointment of Senator Jeff Sessions as Attorney General. In his opening statement during his confirmation hearings, Sessions declared: "If we are to be more effective in dealing with rising crime, we will have to rely heavily on local law enforcement to lead the way. To do that, they must know that they are supported. If I am so fortunate as to be confirmed as Attorney General, they can be assured that they will have my support. In his six months as Attorney General, we've witnessed Sessions announcing his intention to resume the drug war, forfeit property and undo medical marijuana protections.
In addition to Trump's controversial picks for Attorney General and the Supreme Court, he also signed three "law and order" executive orders that would; create a task force that would propose new legislation to reduce crime by highlighting drug trafficking, illegal immigration and violent crime; increase penalties for crimes committed against officers, and strengthen federal law to combat transnational criminal organizations and prevent international trafficking.
Discussion Question:
Do you think the president was 'joking' when he made the remarks? Do you have any concerns about the possible implications of Trumps remarks? How much confidence do you have in the Congressional Black Caucus to impede the progress of the president's plan for law and order? What about the larger civil rights/civil liberties community? What do you think is the best way to pressure Congress, and legislators at the state and local level?

Tiger Woods produced an awesome performance to win 2019 Masters tournament
Discussion in 'General sport discussion' started by No1 Man Utd fan, Apr 15, 2019.

Tiger Woods produced a scintillating finish to win a fifth Masters title and end an 11-year wait to claim a 15th major.
In a spectacular return to past glory, Woods completed a comeback from personal and professional adversity to win the 2019 Masters on Sunday.
He produced a scintillating finish to win a fifth Masters title and end an 11-year wait to claim a 15th major. He entered the final day tied for second place, two shots behind Francesco Molinari. By the 18th hole, he held a two-shot lead.
With that cushion, he bogeyed the last hole to shoot a two-under-par 70 on Sunday, winning the tournament with a score of 13 under par. Three players finished a stroke behind him.
There were raucous celebrations around the 18th green as Woods finished with a two-under-par 70 to win on 13 under, one clear of fellow Americans Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka.
Woods, written off by so many so often as he battled back problems in recent years, punched the air in delight, a wide smile across his face, before celebrating with his children at the back of the green.
It took 3,954 days for to win his 15th major. In the time between the 2008 US Open and Sunday's triumph at the Masters, Woods has gone through a series of highs and lows.
Woods energized fans as he pulled ahead during the Masters' fourth round in Augusta, his triumph marked his fifth Masters title; he previously won the green jacket awarded its victor in 1997, 2001, 2002, and 2005.
Sunday's win also was the first time he had won any major without holding at least a share of the lead going into the final round. Woods now has 15 major titles under his belt, placing him three behind record holder Jack Nicklaus, who has 18.

Music singer and songwriter Landon Pigg picture (pic) and photo gallery, albums covers pictures.
Born: August 6, 1983 Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Influenced by Rufus Wainwright, David Mead, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, and Radiohead, Pigg composes songs with strong hooks and expressive melodies.
Pigg released his self-titled debut LP on July 25, 2006.
Pigg was born in Nashville, Tennessee. His father was a studio veteran and his mother was fond of poetry. When Pigg was a child, his family moved to Chicago, where he attended Grace Lutheran School. He returned to Nashville as a teenager and applied himself to more favourable interests such as Algebra and Chemistry. During his adolescence, it was his father who offered him informal music education and encouraged his curiosity with music. He also credits his mother for nourishing his poetic side. Soon, he showed his talent and began to compose his own songs.


I have decided to blend some shades of Bright Blue, Pastel Pink and White to come up with this elegant eye makeup look. What I really love about the eye shadow is that it is very pigmented. Quite easy to create some bold look and at the same time it isn't hard to remove at the end of the day. If ever I want the eye shadow to last longer and stay bright for hours without requiring much touch-ups I simply use an eye-primer and eye shadow base coat before application.
Totally love the eye shadow set and it is very affordable too! It retails for only $7.08 — great price right? Don't forget to get yours while supplies last! If you have any questions feel free to let me know, and I'll answer as soon as I can. Til' next, xox.
love the head dress, too.
