We use depleted uranium (DU) to pierce armor "like butter." We left 300 tons of DU in Iraq, mostly as easily-inhaled radioactive dust. Now Iraq has skyrocketing rates of monstrous birth defects and aggressive cancers and leukemias.
If Americans understood our last war on Iraq, would we more strongly oppose another one? Do we know what our military does in the real world, where the Pentagon won't even take our lapdog of a press corps out for a walk?
The Gulf War's 'video game accuracy' was a lie told by the Pentagon and re-told by the media. We dropped 88,000 tons of bombs on Iraq, nearly seven times the force of Hiroshima. 93% were old-fashioned dumb bombs, mostly dropped from high altitudes. 60,000 of these were anti-personnel cluster bombs. The civil infrastructure of central and southern Iraq was devastated, resulting in years of polluted water supplies, no electricity, and criminal levels of child mortality.
We use depleted uranium (DU) to pierce armor "like butter." We left 300 tons of DU in Iraq, mostly as easily-inhaled radioactive dust. Now Iraq has skyrocketing rates of monstrous birth defects and aggressive cancers and leukemias. Though a few members of Congress tried to highlight this scandal, it remains resolutely ignored by American media. Consequently, our commitment to DU has deepened, despite its nuclear pollution of Iraq and (via NATO) the Balkans. We now proliferate these radioactive weapons around the world.
When Hussein pledged to withdraw from Kuwait, President Bush I called it a "cruel hoax." When the withdrawal began as promised, we waited until midnight, then launched a frantic, all-out air blitz to exterminate the departing Iraqi soldiers. That night we incinerated tens of thousands of Iraqis for the crime of trying to go home.
How much do we need to know to oppose more war on Iraq? We learn some very troubling things just sitting in front of the TV. We've seen news of the devastation caused by the US-sponsored sanctions. We've heard experts disagree whether the sanctions have killed hundreds of thousands, or more than a million Iraqi mothers and children. Why do these deaths, continuing today, mean so little to our hearts?
Can we maintain a sense of moral responsibility for our always-benevolent foreign policy, if we're told time and again that its fatal effects are the result of exploitation by our enemies? It's this point, where US policy connects with the real world, that is always attacked by core sources in government and media who aim to pander and propagandize. They absolve us of responsibility for a generation of dead Iraqi children by trotting out presidential palaces and rusting Scud missiles, prattling that "the sanctions wouldn't kill so many children if Saddam weren't such a monster!"
As surely as Pavlov's dogs, we take this idiotic bell as a cue to blame another US-inflicted disaster on a prescribed and suitably evil enemy. Many well-intentioned Americans have simply been unable to resist years of televised orders to hate Saddam Hussein like the Devil himself. Thus, outrageous lies about US policy are digested by a 'free people', and we hear them dutifully repeated by our neighbors, at the rare times they are required.
Our support for Israel's occupation of Palestine also requires unrelenting propaganda, but, like Iraq, key facts have leaked through. We dimly understand that Israel occupies land that is supposed to be Palestinian, maybe in the future, if it's OK with Israel. We've seen Israeli bulldozers mow down Palestinian homes, and we know the rest of the world says the occupation is illegal. We even know that our pro-Israel policy incites more terror against us.
But we don't protest, or lift a finger to protect the Palestinians, even to save our own skins. Because we've been told who to blame: "Raging" Arabs who obstinately reject the "modernity" of occupation. Stunning evidence that even the most simple-minded lies, repeated often enough on the right lips, can fatally corrupt our national discourse.
What did we know, and when did we know it? Future historians will probably decide that we knew a lot, and we knew it a long time ago. They will mark the failure of the US media as a critical blow to freedom and democracy. But unless we are exonerated as non compos mentis victims of the world's first successful mass brainwashing, history will also fault us as a people, for our chronic failure to demand respect for human rights and international law from our government.

Father Liam Warner is forty years old and is the eldest surviving child of four siblings. Liam studied for the priesthood at Maynooth College, County Kildare, which is just outside Dublin. He was the first in his family to become a priest and his mother worked herself into an early grave, taking in washing and sewing, and selling her butter, eggs, and bread at the local market in an effort to be able to afford to send him there.
Liam and his brother, Michael, have lived just outside the village of Doon for the past year where they rent and farm fifteen acres of good land. In 1831, Ireland had a population of 7,767,401 and with Roman Catholicism being the largest religion by far, the fees paid to parish priests by their parishioners for christenings, marriages, and burials etc., made them wealthy men – on a par with the Church of Ireland clergyman – and, in some cases, even wealthier. It was a hard life, however, priests spent long hours in all weathers travelling the length and breath of their parish.
With Liam's income, he and Michael can afford to live in lodgings, so why do they need to farm the land at all? Why do they not employ a housekeeper? And why did Liam agree to be appointed priest of a remote, rural, and mountainous parish in the first place? So many questions. Discover the answers in Brotherly Love.
Ireland, 1835. Faction fighting has left the parish of Doon divided between the followers of the Bradys and the Donnellans. Caitriona Brady is the widow of John, the Brady champion, killed two years ago. Matched with John aged eighteen, Caitriona didn't love him and can't mourn him. Now John's mother is dead, too, and Caitriona is free to marry again.
Michael Warner is handsome, loves her, and he hasn't allied himself with either faction. But what secret is he keeping from her? Is he too good to be true?
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It is a week since my last confession."
Liam rolled his eyes. Malachy Donnellan. How the man had the nerve… He listened to the usual impure thoughts rubbish Malachy spouted each week and began to absolve him, wanting eagerly to get rid of him, wondering how many Hail Marys to give him, when Malachy continued unexpectedly.
"Father, there's something else that's been on my mind lately, something you should know about."
"Oh? Well, go on."
"It's about your brother, Father."
"Michael?" Liam's heart thumped. "What about him?"
"Well." Liam heard Malachy scratch his head. "I'm not quite sure, Father, but I think he's done something. Something he regrets. Something he wants to keep quiet..?"
Malachy ended on a high, questioning note and Liam leaned forward and glared at him through the grille.
"Like what?" he demanded.
"Oh, well…" For once Malachy was flustered, as if he hadn't expected the news to affect the priest so badly. "I'm not quite sure, but it's been on my mind for a while now and I thought you ought to know, being his brother and all…"
"Yes, well, thank you." Liam sat back, closing his eyes in relief. At least Malachy didn't know. "Is there anything else?"
"Well…" He heard Malachy scratch his head again. "It is wrong to break a promise, isn't it, Father?"
"Yes," he replied hesitantly. "Why?"
"Oh, it's just that your brother and I were having a little chat the other day and now he seems to be under the impression that it isn't wrong. Now you can tell him that it is. Can't you, Father?"
Liam didn't reply but leaned forward again and stared at Malachy in consternation as he grinned back at him through the grille.
"Is that all?" He found his voice.
"It is, Father, thank you."
Liam quickly absolved Malachy and gave him five Hail Marys before sinking back in his seat as he heard the other man leave the confessional box. He touched his forehead and jumped, he was sweating profusely.
"Bastard," he whispered and quickly crossed himself.
He opened the door and peered out into the chapel. Thankfully it was empty and he went out and began to pace up and down the aisle. What had Michael been up to, talking to that man? What had he said to give him those ideas? Without waiting for anymore confessees, he threw open the chapel door and strode along the road to the cottage without disrobing. He stood silently in the doorway for a few minutes watching Michael, who was sitting on his bed staring into space. He went into the bedroom and closed the door to the kitchen.
Michael started up and gaped wide-eyed at him. "You're back early?"
"I had one confessee. One who was more than enough."
"It was Malachy Donnellan. He told me a lot about you, Michael. What the hell have you been up to?"

On Feb. 11, 1943, Bob Annesley was born in Norman, OK and currently lives in Houston, TX. A poet, graphic artist, sculptor, painter and Indian historian, Bob is a member of the Cherokee tribe. Bob attended the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma City University. Bob works in oil, acrylic, watercolor, pencil, pen & ink, pastel, goldpoint, silverpoint, bronze, terra-cotta and encaustic mixed-media. Bob won his first award for painting at 14 and had his first solo show at 18.
Bob became a full time artist in 1973, and is a master at such unusual media as goldpoint and silverpoint drawing, using 24 karat gold and pure silver. Bob has mastered encaustic mixed-media, an exacting technical process using beeswax interspersed with painting media to set the colors. The artwork is then finally baked in an oven.
Bob has had solo exhibits at the Cherokee National Museum and the Southern Plains Indian Museum and Craft Center. Bob has exhibited extensively and won numerous awards at the Five Civilized Tribes Museum Competitive & Masters shows, the Heard Museum, the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market, the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonials, the John F.

Thanks for a TLDR version, but, isn't that illogical to buff Tier 7 and 8's because that would make the lower tiers worse for new players than it already is cause these are tanks Tier 5 and 6's have to face? would it NOT make more sense to start at the top and lower the dpm of those tanks? -not that i think that's a good idea, this could much better be solved with +1 -1 mm, which is what everyone has been saying this whole time, then they could skip the whole balancing process of having to tanks fight when same tier, against top tiers, and also against lower tiers, and we see how current tank balancing turns out most of the time, cough cough power creep.
So nothing constructive or actually witty, as per usual. At least Capt Green Text posts pics and gifs.
I am a regular player but the only bonds I earn are the one in Frontline and it will take me years to accumulate enough for one piece of equipment given the cost. No interest in Clans. How else to get bonds?
Love the fact that I can now get free directives through the new rewards.
The trolls are the same ones who demand proof, where's the data, etc. When you've taken the time to provide all that -- they laugh at it as "nothing".
Disrespect/incivility is the new normal around the world... not surprised to find it here as well.
I don't have any enhanced equipment and have around 7200 bonds. I do just fine. Why? I do fine with bad crews, better with good crews. I was actually planning to buy my very first piece of purple equipment when I get my batchat 25t. But I dunno. Kinda wanna wait to see what the swedish mediums really are like.
Everyone who whines about this stuff never really can answer the question of why players like me are just fine without the things they say break the game.
Scrawny - no interest in clans? Last clan wars I didn't play that much or that well but got 4500 bonds - interested now?
wait he may not be allowed to post on his main.. I can't. some clans will bounce you in a heart beat for even looking at stuff in here..... my main is actually my reroll this is my first account... just saying..

Most users may have suffered at least once from data loss. The loss might resulted from system upgrading, accidently deleting or formatting, and perhaps nothing at all. Instead of preventing unpredictable trouble from happening, it might be more practical to backup your files in case of any possible accidents. Windows has built-in software to do the backup work, which, however, is not as useful or functional as expected, just like other default software. In this case, AOMEI Backupper Standard might be of much greater help, which is capable of backup for system, partition and disk, it is also able to do disk cloning and so on.
The interface of AOMEI Backupper Standard is simple and understandable enough, making sure no one gets confused. In AOMEI Backupper Standard 3.2 version, there are 5 options of backup in total you can choose from. The system backup will automatically select your system partition and boot partition to backup. The second to the forth selections mean backing up exact data as shown.
There is also a Backup Settings option in which users can do some detailed settings for the backup. For example, users can click to make a highly compressed image file which will take more time but less storage space, or they can choose to backup only the used space or the whole disk/partition including the free space. Besides, it is also applicable to click schedule to set scheduled backup task, freeing users from bothering to remember to do the latter backup work.
The Restore panel provides several filters for users to fast locate the exact image file they want to restore. Image files are classified according to the date and their source file. For those who prefer CMD, AOMEI Backupper 3.2 now supports restoring and cloning using CMD.
Clone allows users to clone a disk or partition/volume from one to another, migrate OS from HDD to SSD, which is of great use when users need to move their data to an upgraded device. To enable System Clone, users need to forward a given piece of message or directly upgrade the software to AOMEI Backupper Professional edition.
Users can use this PXE Boot function to boot multiple computers by using one of them as a server and others as clients, thus booting the latter through the LAN. Network is required.
AOMEI Backupper Standard OS Support is Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP (all editions, 32 & 64 bit). File Styles it supports is NTFS, FAT32, FAT16, EXT2, EXT3, exFAT and others file styles.
Considering it is a totally free backup software, AOMEI Backupper Standard has shown more than enough capability of handling all sorts of data problems that normal PC users may come across. It can backup your system and your important data so that it can free you from worries from possible data loss. Now the newest version of AOMEI Backupper supports more languages: English, French (Français), German (Deutsch), Japanese (日本語), 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese) and 繁體中文 (Traditional Chinese). And added some new functions: 4 kinds of backup schemes, command line clone and command line restore. For more features, I hope you download it and try.

French tip nail designs are fairly easy and look great any time on the year.
Change up the colors to go with the season or event. For Christmas, use red and gold or bright summer colors for summer.
I used dark Blue, silver and black nail polish.
1. Apply Base coat and a base color to the nails. Let Dry.
2. Using a toothpick dipped in Nail Polish, apply a diagonal line to the tip of the nail. Apply another diagonal line to the opposite side of the nail crisscrossing the colors in the middle.
4. Add a few other nail polish colors until you get the effect you like.

I've been at my current job, Grand Round Table, for about two months now and I am learning a lot. Our web application (and my main responsibility) uses AngularJS which I've learned a lot about so far. I've been intrigued by the framework for a while now and am excited to get to work on it in a meaningful way. At my previous job we wrote our web apps in Backbone. Simply put, in comparision, Angular is awesome. Here are some of the aspects of it that I like so far.
The main thing I've noticed about Angular is that it gives you all of the components that you need including services, injectors, controllers, scopes, filters and a lot more. It gives you so much freedom and tools, in fact, that I imagine that if you're doing something in Angular that seems awkward, you should probably think about how you are architecturing your app. Services in particular have been great for me. Basically they are singleton objects that lazily instantiated when they are needed. This allows you to inject them (more on that later) wherever you need them and you'll know that you are always using the exact same object. Because of this they are great for sharing state across different components. In the past I have had to create Backbone models that do something similar and that is pretty easy to do, but Angular has functionality for them right out the box.
The documentation and community are top notch. I've found that this is becoming increasingly important with any technology and if I wasn't lazy I could show you some Google search chart that shows AngularJS on the uptick. Stack Overflow is helping me find the answers that I need quickly, but it goes beyond that. Often errors in Angular will log to the console a URL that will explain the error in more detail. In most cases this has helped me solve the problem pretty quickly.
Additionally, the actual documentation on the website is very thorough and includes testing example, such as here. That is awesome.
And I shouldn't forget to mention that Angular is the only web framework in Philadelphia to have a Meetup group (thx RJ Metrics!).
I don't know if I completely understand the right way to use directives yet, but they are extremely powerful. Basically, as I understand them, they allow you to create custom HTML elements that can perform their own interactions with optional access to methods and data on other components like a controller. Conceptually they seem similar to web components (Polymer being an example library) that are modular, isolated pieces of code. This makes them easily shareable and reusable like the sharing of modules in the NodeJS ecosystem.
In Angular, testing is important and there are tools built into the framework to help you with it: mainly dependency injection. Also, as I mentioned above, the documentation includes testing examples and Angular plays well with BDD/TDD unit testing tools like Mocha or Jasmine. Beyond that the Angular team has created Protractor, an end-to-end testing framework that is pretty impressive. It allows you to create a test that performs interactions on your application, like using a login page. We don't have E2E tests yet at GRT, but I'm working on it.
There's a ton of other good things about Angular that I'm not mentioning and I suggest you give it a try. Coming from Backbone it's really a breath of fresh air to use a fully fleshed-out framework that gives you tools for everything that you may come across. This really isn't a knock on Backbone though as it doesn't seem to intend to be a full framework but rather a few well-composed components that can be used in a variety of ways (for good and evil). If you look at the changelog for Backbone the updates are pretty minor at this point as the framework is pretty much completed. It still holds a place and the excellent MarionetteJS makes many things easier for you.
I'm sure eventually something better will come along and EmberJS and Om look like promising tools that I want to check out at some point. But for now, Angular is making my life easier.

Germany to drop mask mandate in trains and buses from February 2
Germany will end the requirement to wear face masks on long-distance trains and buses from February 2 as the coronavirus pandemic loosened its grip on the country, authorities announced Friday.
Health Minister Karl Lauterbach made the announcement after consultations with ministers from Germany's 16 federal states, saying "the infection situation has stabilised."
Lauterbach, however, encouraged people to continue wearing masks voluntarily "on the basis of personal responsibility", adding "the virus should not be trivialised" and warning of potential longer-term impacts.
Several factors contributed to the policy change, Lauterbach said, including a higher level of immunity in the public and a reduced chance of new mutations, which meant a winter resurgence of the virus was unlikely.
The situation is "tense but manageable" in hospitals, Lauterbach added.
The requirement, which has been in place since the early stages of the pandemic, had been scheduled to expire on April 7 but will now end sooner.
A number of German states had already relaxed mask rules in regional public transport, but rules on the country's long-distance train and bus network remain the central government's responsibility.
Germany was one of the few remaining countries in Europe to keep a mask requirement, with many having scrapped rules or downgraded them to recommendations in 2022.
Alongside Germany, Spain is the only other large European country to maintain mask rules on long-distance trains and public transport, with the Spanish government announcing in October that these will remain in place until at least March 2023.

Augmented reality is a technology that is poised to become a prominent part of our culture. Now available on all mobile platforms, there is significant opportunity to explore this technology from both the design and educational perspective. The multimedia integration course "Tangible Media / Physical Interface Design" added augmented reality to a multi-week design project building automata. At each of 3 stages students were challenged to design 1) using 3D computer modeling software, 2) design and build a physical model which integrated with a sensor or motorized component driven by the Arduino microprocessor and finally 3) develop an augmented reality animation which would be triggered by all or part of the physical automata. This paper presents the learning goals, challenges and results from this course.

The atomic bombs dropped on Japan, 60 years ago, may have been the most crucial event of the 20th century. But it was not the top news story. In fact, it was simply covered up with lies by both the US and Japan.
CARACAS, Aug 5 (IPS) – The atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima 60 years ago, on Aug. 6, 1945, may have been the most crucial event of the 20th century. But it was not the top news story.
That was because censorship and the manipulative media treatment of the tragic event, managed by Washington and Tokyo, greatly muffled the impact of the catastrophe and made the press an accomplice in the war.
These conclusions are reached by a book written by Venezuelan journalist Silvia González, a researcher at the College of Mexico. "Hiroshima, la noticia que nunca fue" (roughly "Hiroshima, the News Report That Never Was") focuses on the bombing and its aftermath to demonstrate how news is censored and manipulated in times of conflict.
Six decades later, "manipulative practices are still repeated, at the direction of those in power, and the media disseminates inaccurate, hasty, exaggerated or biased reports, or just plain rumours, that can affect public perception even in the long term," said González in an interview with IPS.
At 8:12 AM on Aug. 6, 1945, as World War II was coming to an end, the U.S. B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped the uranium bomb nicknamed Little Boy, which detonated around 300 metres over Hiroshima – in order to make it even more lethal – producing an explosion that was the equivalent of 12,000 tons of dynamite.
More than 80,000 of Hiroshima's 250,000 people are estimated to have been killed that day, and at least 60,000 died in the following weeks, as they fell victim to burns from the radiation and the fires caused by the bomb.
Three days later, the United States dropped a second nuclear explosive – a plutonium bomb nicknamed "Fat Man" – on the southern Japanese port city of Nagasaki, claiming another 80,000 lives and forcing Japan to an unconditional surrender.
On Aug. 7, 1945, newspapers in Japan merely printed short articles reporting that B-29 planes had dropped incendiary bombs on Hiroshima, causing some damage.
In the United States, by contrast, there was intense coverage. "The New York Times alone, the day after the bomb was dropped, used the words atom and atomic 209 times," according to González's study.
The United States had already lived through an initial phase of officially imposed silence, since the Manhattan Project – which developed the atomic bomb – got underway in 1942.
But after Aug. 6, 1945 there was a shift in policy, in order for the media to back up the effort to secure a Japanese surrender.
According to González, restrictions on the dissemination of information prior to the atomic bomb attacks and U.S. laws that provided for the strictest penalties for anyone who published reports, photos or other information that could harm U.S. interests allowed Washington to keep a tight lid on certain developments, like a Jun. 11, 1945 proposal addressed by a group of scientists to President Harry S. Truman.
The "Franck Report", produced by a panel of seven scientists chaired by James Franck (1925 winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics), recommended that the bomb's overwhelming destructive power be demonstrated "before the eyes of representatives of all United Nations, on the desert or a barren island," in order to scare Japan into surrendering.
"The success which we have achieved in the development of nuclear power is fraught with infinitely greater dangers than were all the inventions of the past," the report warned.
In the wake of Tokyo's Aug. 15 surrender, when Japan was occupied by U.S. troops, all press reports referring to atomic energy, nuclear bombs or their effects on the civilian population were strictly censored.
By the summer of 1946, the censorship office in Japan had grown to the extent that it employed 6,000 people, who pored over and listened in on all kinds of communication, from letters and telephone conversations to movies and billboards. The press was censored both prior to and after publication.
Not only were journalists unable to exercise their right to obtain information – in this specific case, on the atomic bombs and their effects – but freedom of speech was also curtailed as they were not allowed to print what information they did come across.
"Reporters were unable to live up to the public's right to be informed; they were both victims and accomplices," said González.
For her book, González sent a survey to 400 journalists, including 180 from the United States, 180 from Japan, and 40 from other countries. From a list of 15 key 20th century developments, 78 percent of the reporters selected the bombing of Hiroshima as the most crucial event.
Similar results were found in earlier surveys by Newseum, an interactive news museum in Washington, D.C., and the AP news agency, which reported that the tragedy in Hiroshima may have been the top news story of the 20th century.

Q: How to get/extract own source code for interaction Is there currently any way, without Private APIs, or with, to extract the source code as an object to be able to interact with it, in the form of a UIWebView for example, or a UITextView or just a long string?
Scenario:
There is an enterprise developer. A company wants all IT managers to be able to see all source code, in real time, or otherwise, for feedback and/or interaction. Things like post-it style comments, or drawing will be left in areas that need improvement/alteration, etc. All managers should be able to see methods/functions and essentially all implementations as is.
I have a few ideas on how I want to implement this, but just thought it would be good to get some outside suggestions, because brainstorming never hurts. Is there any thoughts on where I should be looking for simplicity?

Corona Direct needed to sound clear, fresh and human yet with a certain intelligent edge. So we created a playful, indie sound layer with a twist, that also matches Corona Direct's new visual ID.
Sonic Branding . Sound Strategy
Corona Direct is the largest direct insurance company in Belgium and has been around for more than 80 years. As a pioneer, they launched a car insurance per kilometer in 2006 as well as a dog insurance 2 years later. Sonhouse was contacted for a complete sound identity, with a new radio and television campaign in mind.
Score: the sound DNA
The Score is the starting point of creating a sound identity. This soundtrack is the alpha and omega of your sound: it contains all the necessary elements for further derivatives. Our mission with it? To make a brand sing in a relevant, distinctive, catchy and ownable way.
Logo: the core of the DNA
The sound Logo represents the melodic heart, distilled from the Score. Short, particular, recognisable, completely 'you'.
And now, the possibilities are endless. Here are 10 more variations on the logo.

Consistent Communication Touchpoints
Touchpoints are the various opportunities where customers 'touch' the brand. At each and every one of these points, brands should give the customer a consistent experience, reinforcing its identity and fulfilling its promise.
Mozart said "The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between". Deploying the sound identity consistently makes your brand stronger. But it's equally important to avoid sound pollution and overload. Sound should be used only when it amplifies.
Television Campaign
This case was developed together with Kunstmaan.


Air New Zealand is famous for its whimsical advertising campaigns and blockbuster-style safety videos. This gives the airline a signature, almost 'boutique' feel, compared to major carriers, pushing it very high in global airline rankings.
One recent campaign focuses on the "Better Way to Fly" slogan, by following a journey of a native New Zealand Kiwi – a flightless bird. The comedic video spends a great deal of time highlighting the best things to see and do in the country. Increasingly, airlines all over the world are turning away from product-focused advertisements to experience or tourism-based displays. Singapore Airlines, Qantas and Philippine Airlines for example have all deployed new safety videos that revolve around their respective nation's highlights.
There are some interesting back-stories on how this flightless bird actually made it to New Zealand, with its closest relatives living in Madagascar and Australia. Perhaps they moved across on islands that have since disappeared? Or have evolved from creatures long ago when New Zealand was connected to the mainland? It's strongly suggested, though, that they once could fly, but due to a lack of ground predators, lost their ability to take to the skies over time. They're an interesting creature, and can live up to the age of 50. Sadly, though, their population is declining due to new predators.
H/T to Air New Zealand for these stellar facts!

New infection cases in 400s for 3rd day, next few days 'critical' in virus fight
An official puts up a notice banning the use of sauna facilities at a public bath in Incheon, west of Seoul, on Monday, as the central government toughened social distancing rules until Dec. 7 amid the resurgence of the coronavirus. (Yonhap)
The daily number of new coronavirus cases in South Korea stayed in the 400 range for the third day in a row Tuesday, but health authorities say the next few days may be critical in the virus fight amid concerns over a third infection wave coming with the winter season.
The country added 451 more COVID-19 cases, including 420 local infections, raising the total caseload to 34,652, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA). It reported no additional coronavirus fatalities, bringing the total to 526.
The daily virus tally is on a slowing path after peaking at an eight-month high of 581 last Thursday. An average of 480 daily new cases was reported over the past week.
The authorities, however, said they have to assess the trend for several more days before judging whether the daily new cases in the 400 range are on a clear downward path.
They have repeatedly warned of a possible surge in the upcoming winter season, urging people to follow elevated antivirus measures.
The greater Seoul area that includes Seoul, the surrounding Gyeonggi Province and the western port city of Incheon is under Level 2 social distancing measures in its five-tier system, but even tighter restrictions are applied to virus-prone facilities.
All other areas are at Level 1.5 distancing measures, up one notch, for two weeks.
Under the tougher distancing measures, saunas and steam rooms in bathhouses are not allowed for one week in the greater Seoul area. Nine kinds of indoor exercises practiced in groups, including Zumba dancing, aerobics and kickboxing, are also banned
Hotels, party rooms and other guesthouses that host year-end or New Year's parties that are known be prone to virus transmission are also banned.
Medical experts, however, urged the health authorities to consider elevating the social distancing system by one notch to Level 3, as toughened measures are more effective than implementing other steps in reining in the current spreading pace.
"The public is very confused as authorities break down the social distancing level, such as 1.5 and 2.5," the Korean Medical Association (KMA) said in a press release. "Social distancing is the most effective way to stop the spread of COVID-19 infections."
By region, 153 new virus cases were reported in Seoul, 86 cases in Gyeonggi Province that surrounds the capital and 16 cases in Incheon, west of Seoul, accounting for more than 60 percent of the daily new locally transmitted cases. The greater Seoul area is home to around half of the nation's 51.6 million population.
Other municipalities reported new infections, with the southern port city of Busan and North Chungcheong Province each adding 31 new cases.
Busan newly reported 46 COVID-19 patients, which were not yet reflected in the KDCA official tally released earlier in the day.
Among virus clusters, a dance academy in western Seoul added 26 more cases, bringing the total to 215, while a sports facility in Seoul's Nowon Ward, reported five additional cases, raising the total to 15.
An additional 12 people tested positive in cases traced to a singing class in Gyeongsan, raising the total to 37, the authorities said. An additional 29 people tested positive in cases traced to a religious facility in Busan, raising the total caseload to 30.
The number of seriously or critically ill COVID-19 patients came to 97 as of midnight, sharply up from 72 a day earlier.
The country added 31 imported cases coming mainly from the United States and Asian countries, excluding China, the KDCA said.
The total number of people released from quarantine after making full recoveries stood at 27,885, up 260 from the previous day. (Yonhap)

Q: What's the best way to mirror a value across two ActiveRecord rows? I have a user#show view and also a membership#show view.
The users#show view has the path
/users/john-mcenroe

The membership#show view will have the path
/org-name/memberships/john-mcenroe

in other words, the user#show and org#show view both have identical slugs
For the sake of lookup speed I assume the best thing to do is to mirror the slug column from user on the membership model too. To that end I've created a user observer that updates the membership whenever the user's slug changes.
Is an observer the best way to echo de-normalised data across DB tables? Is there a native rails way to do this instead (an equivalent to counter_cache for isntance)?

A: If there's an association between user and membership, then you can can use the "delegate" method.
For example:
class Membership
    belongs_to :user
    delegate :slug, :to => :user
end

In this case, the "slug" is stored on the user model, and you don't need to copy the data to the membership model.

Album Reviews: The Long Ryders – 'Psychedelic Country Soul'
CD Reviews news
4 April 2019 CD Reviews news
Long Ryders
PSYCHEDELIC COUNTRY SOUL
Country-rock as it should be
First album in more than 30 years and The Long Ryders gallop back as if nothing has changed. And indeed, it really hasn't. It's the same line-up – Sid Griffin, Stephen McCarthy, Greg Sowders and Tom Stevens – and it's the same producer, Ed Stasium (Ramones et al) who directed their last set, 1987's Two-Fisted Tales.
There are twin guitars – plenty of 12-string – leading the charge of rocking, rolling country of that Byrds-meets-the-Clash variety, LA with the spirit of London Town, that was so spine-tingling. And it's all done with an element of elegance, an air of country gentlemen, that makes it all more beguiling than ever.
Starting with the freewheeling Greenville, it's a set of 11 new songs plus a cover of Tom Petty's Walls. And while the latter might be a tribute to a huge star, what's difficult to understand is how The Long Ryders didn't end up as big as Petty in the first place.
It's irrepressible – the pop of Griffin's Molly Somebody, the punk-tinged exhuberance of What The Eagle Sees, the gentle, acoustic Bells Of August and more.
There are touches of the Beatles here in the harmonies and the at times delicate guitars – and particularly the closing title track, a six-minute swirling country-pop anthem with its glorious hints of Eastern mysticism.
A masterful return from one of the great names in country-rock.
Nick Dalton


A number of supermarket chains have been forced to recall thousands of bags of own-brand frozen vegetables because of fears that they could contain a deadly bacteria.
The Food Standards Agency said 43 frozen products, including sweetcorn and mixed vegetables – sold by retailers including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Aldi and Lidl – had been recalled by Greenyard, one of the largest suppliers of fruit and vegetables.
It is feared the frozen vegetables could contain listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listeriosis, a rare illness responsible for the death of two people in the UK last year.
Since 2015, there have been 47 reported cases, nine of which were fatal. Outbreaks have also affected Austria, Denmark, Finland and Sweden.
Last week the Hungarian food safety authorities banned the sale of frozen vegetables produced by a Greenyard plant in Hungary over the past two years. It also ordered retailers to withdraw the products from their shelves and alert customers in an effort to contain the outbreak. All freezing activity at the plant has been stopped.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) said it had detected strains of listeria in products manufactured at the processing plant as far back as 2015. This suggests strains of the bug have persisted in the factory despite cleaning and disinfection procedures being carried out.
Initially the source of the bacteria was thought to be sweetcorn, but EFSA said it was possible that other vegetables were also contaminated.

For Love Or Money
1993, PG, 96 min. Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Starring Michael J. Fox, Gabrielle Anwar, Anthony Higgins, Bob Balaban, Michael Tucker, Dan Hedaya, Fyvush Finke, Udo Kier.
REVIEWED By Louis Black, Fri., Oct. 8, 1993
Right off, let me get it out of the way that I like Michael J. Fox, as an actor and a presence, which should define this review for you. Since Family Ties I've liked his work, enjoyed him as a genre unto himself in Teen Wolf, The Secret of My Success, Bright Lights, Big City and the Back to the Future movies. Fox's performance was right on target in Paul Schrader's Light of Day -- despite its maudlin slipperiness, still one of the great rock movies, and though not quite there, at least an admirable effort in Casualties of War. Hell, I volunteered to see the fingernails-on-chalkboard Life with Mikey earlier this summer. Some of this new movie, For Love or Money, is even fun. Fox, as a New York City hotel concierge, gets to combine his boyish charm, nonchalant arrogance and almost joyous selfishness in the ways that serve him best. The film bustles with the details, highlighted by a scene in the park where four concierges from major hotels huddle over a park table as Fox brokers the swapping of tickets to hot Broadway shows, important sporting events and rock concerts. The movie sucks. It has an idiot story: Fox wants to build a luxury hotel and is in love with would-be singer and department store worker Anwar, who is not interested in him. Through a friend, he is wooing Higgins, a major financial player and international venture capitalist, who may give him the money for his hotel. As a favor, the married Higgins asks for an off-the-books hotel room for an afternoon rendezvous with his girlfriend, who is, surprise, Anwar. Coincidents continue to collide throughout, finally crushing all in their way -- director, plot and even Fox. More hotel and less romance would have helped a lot, especially because Fox is perfect as the concierge. Consistently better than the movies he's in (with a few exceptions), Fox seems to be trying to find his way as a Hollywood superstar with a dreadful taste in scripts. Sonnenfeld (former Coen brothers cinematographer, now, thanks to The Addams Family, an A-list director) actually has a handful of ideas about how to be an interesting director, the movie constantly redeems itself with small scenes which, given the overall dreadfulness of the writing, is saying a lot. If he ever connects the dots, he may make a hell of a movie. This is nothing more than a lot of dots.
