Michele Graglia
Michele Graglia left Italy for Miami in 2007 to expand the family business. Caught in a thunderstorm, he ducked into a Johnny Rockets, got scouted by a renowned agent, and walked out a professional model.
An elite modeling career brought expensive cars, penthouses, parties, and celebrities, but his accidental "American Dream" was never his own.
Feeling the emptiness of a shallow, dark lifestyle, Michele set out for adventure and fulfillment, finding it in the unlikeliest place—a book about ultramarathon running.
Within a few short years, his passion and dedication for ultrarunning placed him among the top endurance athletes in the world. Running hundreds of miles in the extremes of the frozen Yukon and the scorching heat of Death Valley, he pushed his body and mind beyond every limit imaginable.
Ultra is not about winning. It's not about running. It's a means to return to Nature and a journey to find your purpose, giving your all on the quest for your best self.
Julie Chrisco Andrews, Twenty-five year, five-time Emmy winning Sports producer, NBC Sports & ESPN
"Most of us will never run an Ultra, mere mortals that we are. Michele Graglia's inspiring and engrossing book helps us understand the 'why' and that the boundaries are only there to be pushed. His pivot from supermodel to his first failed race to becoming one of the best ultra athletes and finding his spots in the Guinness world record book is a remarkable one. Ultra traces this personal journey through Inspiring quotes and fascinating and emotional stories from his races. But it's a lot more than that, it's the chronicle of one exceptional athlete, who has lived so many diverse lives in his young years, connecting with nature, and transcending himself, and, along the way, encouraging all of us to discover our own true strength and resilience.
This is a great read for anyone considering athletic challenges or in search of some greater personal goal. There is no telling where this book might take you."
Jesse Itzler, Entrepreneur, Author, Endurance athlete, and part-owner of the Atlanta Hawks.
"An honest and compelling story that offers a true insight into the life journey of one of the most extreme ultra runners on the planet. Anyone interested in endurance, mindset, or accomplishing BIG goals needs to read this book."
Dean Karnazes, Ultramarathon Legend and Best Selling Author
"A revealing and unexpected plot twist of what compelled an international top model to ditch the limelight and jet setting lifestyle of high fashion to pursue a life of self-discovery at the frontiers of human endurance."
Michele Graglia is a former top model and is currently one of the world's top ultra runners. Since 2011, he has competed in over thirty ultramarathons all over the world, often winning and setting course records.
He has set Guinness World Records for his runs across the Atacama and Gobi deserts. His wins in the Yukon Arctic Ultra, with temperatures below -40ºF, and the Badwater 135 in Death Valley, with highs above 130ºF, made him the first person in history to win both the hottest and coldest foot races on Earth.
His motivational speaking has inspired thousands around the world.

Autumn 2013 at The Quilt Museum in York
By Jane Rae
Forthcoming exhibitions at the Quilt Museum and Gallery, York, 6 September to 30 November 2013
GREAT HALL - It's All in the Making: patchwork and quilting unpicked
(Left) Farne Islands Coverlet (Courtesy: The Quilters' Guild of the British Isles)
Focusing on the different aspects of making gives us a chance to explore the many facets of patchwork and quilting, as well as demonstrating the value and the breadth of quilt research.
This exhibition draws, in part, on research undertaken by British Quilt Study Group members and is organised around four themes: • making as gifts and to commemorate events • making to earn money (either fundraising or to make a living) • making out of necessity • making to be creative or express ideas
Quilts, coverlets and artefacts from The Quilters' Guild collection and other sources will be on display; over half the exhibits are historic, and there will be some exhibits from the UK's leading contemporary quilt artists. All the selected objects have a story in the stitching waiting to be unpicked.
"Since the founding of the British Quilt Study Group in 1998, research into patchwork and quilting has gone from strength to strength. To the wider world, however, the subject still remains a mystery. We are thrilled to be able to stage an exhibition in the Quilt Museum in York and to show just what a fascinating and valuable subject quilt research is", Dr Susan Marks, British Quilt Study Group.
BAILEY GALLERY - A Sensitive Art
A Sensitive Art is the latest exhibition by the British Tapestry Group featuring a wide range of contemporary woven tapestry interpreting the theme of touch and texture.
Contemporary tapestry is an exciting art form. Today's weavers combine the traditional skills of the medieval weaver with an exciting range of materials, shapes, textures and images to create their work. Tapestry is a slow art and many of the large pieces in the exhibition will have taken months to complete.
Further information on the British Quilt Study Group is available at bqsg.quiltersguild.org.uk Further information on the British Tapestry Group is available at www.thebritishtapestrygroup.co.uk The British Tapestry Group welcomes UK and international tapestry weavers as members. It aims to promote woven tapestry through exhibitions, networking and regional support groups.
The Museum closes during exhibition changeovers. Please check the website www.quiltmuseum.org.uk or phone 01904 613 242 to check on opening times.
Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday, 10am–4pm, Admission charges apply.

Q: Can Android Service outlive Application object? So, the question is pretty self-explanatory. Can custom Application object (the one I declare in AndroidManifest.xml) be destroyed earlier than the launched Service, provided that Service is not launched in another process?
My intuition says it's not possible, since we can access Application object in Service by calling getApplication(), plus I've not seen anything like this in documentation, but Android is full of unexpected funny behaviors.

A:
Can custom Application object (the one I declare in AndroidManifest.xml) be destroyed earlier than the launched Service, provided that Service is not launched in another process?

Each process gets its own Application object, and that object lives as long as the process does. Hence, any component (e.g., a Service) cannot outlive the Application from its own process.

A: When the app process gets killed, all services in this process also get killed. So no, a service can not outlive an Application object – see Process Lifecycle in the Service docs.

Q: Compile error related to "index"- is it actually a function? I'm removing all warnings from our compile, and came across the following:
warning: the address of `
   char* index(const char*, int)', will always be 'true'
for the following line of code:
DEBUG_MSG("Data received from Device "<<(int)_nodeId << "for" << index  <<(int)msgIn.index<<".");

DEBUG_MSG is one of our logging macros that the preprocessor subsitutes into a statement that takes C++ style stream operations.
index does not appear to be declared, so I'm assuming that it was supposed to read:
DEBUG_MSG("Data received from Device "<<(int)_nodeId << "for index "  <<(int)msgIn.index<<".");

and index would be a function* to the "char* index(const char*, int)" function in the standard library, but what does the index function do?  Google seems useless as it pulls up indexes of books related to C++.
Is there something I'm missing in my interpretation of this warning?

A: Here's a man page for index:
http://kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/index.3.html

A: Presumably, the stream operators are seeing
<< index

And attempting to automatically cast it into something that can be printed:
<< (bool)index

But index is a function, and has an address that will never be NULL. So this is equivalent to:
<< true

G++ sees that this will always be true, and issues a warning.
As for what index does, see http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man3/index.3.php

A: index is a function defined in <strings.h> which is deprecated and should be replaced by strchr.

I Turn My Camera On, Episode 3: Lance Gross & Comedian King Bach Talk Embracing Creativity Without Boundaries
By Rachaell Davis	· October 18, 2017 December 6, 2020
In episode 3 of 'I Turn My Camera On,' Lance Gross brings comedian King Bach to his studio for a layered conversation about creativity.
"When I say creativity, what does that mean for you?" Lance asks Bach, whose real name is Andrew Bachelor. The Toronto native responds by sharing his thoughts on why he feels limitless creativity that stands out from the rest is second to none.
"Creativity means thinking outside the box," Bach says. "For me, it's being unique and not doing what everybody else does. If you do something that somebody else does, it's taking what they do and taking it to the next level. Amplifying it."
A rising star with a follower count of over 16 million combined on Twitter and Instagram, Bach tells Lance that despite his massive following, he doesn't really feel the pressure to consistently be funny because it usually happens naturally no matter what.
"No, not really because someone always finds the humor in something, no matter what it is. If I'm just looking at the camera saying nothing, you can guarantee that four comments down, there's going to be 3 laughing emojis."
As the conversation continues, the two also discuss Bach's influences, how he balances maintaining his social media presence in the midst of an increasingly busy new schedule as a career actor, and more.

Q: nilradical of a finite-dimensional algebra I'm trying to understand/solve an exercise problem in "Algebras of linear transformations" by Farenick. The following is the problem:

[exercises 4.6-5] Let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a finite-dimensional algebra that is not nilpotent. If $e\in \mathfrak{A}$ is a nonzero idempotent, then set
  $$
\mathfrak{L}_e=\{x\in\mathfrak{A}:xe=0\},\quad \mathfrak{R}_e=\{y\in \mathfrak{A}:ey=0\}.
$$
  a. Prove that
  $$(e\mathfrak{L}_e+\mathfrak{R}_e e+(\mathfrak{L}_e\cap \mathfrak{R}_e))\subseteq \text{Rad}\, \mathfrak{A}.$$

Considering a simple example $\mathfrak{A}=M_2(\mathbb{C}),\; e=\pmatrix{1&0\\0&0}$, I see that
$$
\mathfrak{L}_e=\left\{\pmatrix{0&b\\0&d}:b,d\in \mathbb{C}\right\},\mathfrak{R}_e=\left\{\pmatrix{0&0\\c&d}:c,d\in \mathbb{C}\right\},\\
e\mathfrak{L}_e=\left\{\pmatrix{0&b\\0&0}:b\in \mathbb{C}\right\},\mathfrak{R}_e e=\left\{\pmatrix{0&0\\c&0}:c\in \mathbb{C}\right\}, \mathfrak{L}_e\cap \mathfrak{R}_e=\left\{\pmatrix{0&0\\0&d}:d\in \mathbb{C}\right\}\\
\therefore (e\mathfrak{L}_e+\mathfrak{R}_e e+(\mathfrak{L}_e\cap \mathfrak{R}_e))=\left\{\pmatrix{0&b\\c&d}:b,c,d\in \mathbb{C}\right\}\nsubseteq \text{Rad}\, \mathfrak{A}=\left\{\pmatrix{0&0\\0&0}\right\}.
$$
(In the last line, I used the fact that the radical of $\mathfrak{A}$ is trivial since $\mathfrak{A}=M_2(\mathbb{C)}$ is a (central) simple algebra.)
So, what am I missing or am I misunderstanding some concepts? If the problem should be corrected, what might be the intention or take-home message of this problem?

A: It looks to me that there is a typo, it should say $\supseteq$ instead of $\subseteq$. In that case, all you need to show is that
$$
V_1\cap\text{Rad}\,\mathfrak A=\{0\},
$$
in the language of the proof of Theorem 4.6 (page 123).

métacarpien palmaire


This bed is raised (and bordered with railroad ties that I will be getting rid of very soon). The cultivation depth is at least twelve inches. But much of it had been seeded with grass when we moved in. So it was a big deal to turn over all of the sod. It had to be done by hand, as there were some utility wires that had to be avoided. Thankfully, it all went well and, apart from dealing with a lot of persistent crab grass (which is the main weed), the tomatoes and pumpkin vines are growing lavishly.
I've run out of bamboo, but I was thinking I could remove the bottom level & move those rods up to the top if needed. A little more work than I want, but it will get me through the season until I can get my hands on more bamboo.
Absolutely fantastic work! I need some of these myself as we have 17 donated tomato plants in the community garden for the Atlanta Food Bank and no cages for them!
I built a very similar structure for my tomatoes this year too. I'm not finding mine to be very sturdy at all. I used nails instead of yarn and it's just flimsy now that the weight of the fruit is on it. Maybe I needed a wider footprint.
If anything fails on these cages, it won't be the joints. They are very secure. The bamboo is as sturdy as any bamboo, but much of the cross bars are about 1/2 inch thick, so it is possible the weight of the tomatoes could overwhelm them. I'm reasonably confident they will hold up well, but we will see.
Bamboo almost always adds class to a garden. Ounce-for-ounce, it's supposed to be one of the strongest growable building materials, so I suspect it'll hold the weight of your tomatoes without trouble.
In my experience, bamboo that's not in contact with soil holds up very well and you can keep in in service for years. However, sections of bamboo embedded in soil may rot away in as little as one season.
The yarn would be my biggest concern. For years, I've used some type of synthetic yarn to mark rows in my garden. It doesn't weather well. After a season, it looks as though it's holding its shape, but it loses tensile strength; sometimes a day after I stretch it to mark a row it breaks. It'll be interesting to see whether your lashings become brittle this way… or course, if you're using woolen yarn, I don't think you have a problem.
Bottom line: the cages look great. With a limitless supply of bamboo, I'd use it all over my garden. The woodchucks could dine in style!
Very cool…I'd love to do that..where can I find some cheap bamboo?
Keep in mind that last summer was my first as a vegetable gardener. The bamboo tomato cages did hold up and looked beautiful all summer long, but in retrospect, I can't recommend them. In late September, my 50-some tomato plants finally succumbed to the late blight. I probably only lost about 20 percent of my harvest, but all of those beautiful bamboo tomato cages had to be burned, as the fungus would likely have been buried in the wood and would have come back to infect future gardens. The cheap bamboo came from my neighbor's garden – it would have been burned earlier in the season anyway. You could grow your own bamboo, but it was a lot of work for one season's use.
The portion of the bamboo posts that go into the soil could be wrapped in some thick plastic, I suppose.
I also have access to bamboo and am starting to make some.
As I'm a novice at growing tomatoes, how far apart are the vertical poles? Looks like the horizontals are at about 12″ and 24″ high?
I found some soldering wire in the house from gazillion years ago. Quite pliable. Going to try that for securing the horizontals to the stakes.
My tomatoes are 18 to 24 inches apart from each other. There only are a few inches between individual cages.
Over the past 30 years of home gardening, I have tried various ways of staking and caging my tomatoe plants. This year I tried making cages like yours with some left-over bamboo that I had from previous years. I have to say that I have found the perfect solution to caging tomatoes. I will from now on make my cages from bamboo. The bamboo beats anything I have tried before!
There was probably no need to burn your bamboo because of fungus affecting your tomatoes. Bamboo has natural anti-fungal properties and so was most likely unaffected.
Cindyscottday, instead of burning the blight infected bamboo perhaps you can try a solution of bleach and water and let it soak a few days. Even baking soda and dish soap is a good cleaning agent.
Btw, thanks for this blog post. I was browsing the web about how to build tomato cages and this is a great idea.
Wap the end of the bamboo that is in the ground with duct tape. Should last well. Keep your eyes out when driving around Metro Atlanta and you will see stands of bamboo everywhere. most people won't mind if you take a little but just remember to clean up after yourself.
This is not related to gardening, but I found it fascinating that in parts of Asia, they build scaffolding out of bamboo – MANY stories high.

The Unconverted Self: Jews, Indians, and the Identity of Christian Europe

Europe's formative encounter with its "others" is still widely assumed to have come with its discovery of the peoples of the New World. But, as Jonathan Boyarin argues, long before 1492 Christian Europe imagined itself in distinction to the Jewish difference within. The presence and image of Jews in Europe afforded the Christian majority a foil against which it could refine and maintain its own identity. In fundamental ways this experience, along with the ongoing contest between Christianity and Islam, shaped the rhetoric, attitudes, and policies of Christian colonizers in the New World.
The Unconverted Self proposes that questions of difference inside Christian Europe not only are inseparable from the painful legacy of colonialism but also reveal Christian domination to be a fragile construct. Boyarin compares the Christian efforts aimed toward European Jews and toward indigenous peoples of the New World, bringing into focus the intersection of colonial expansion with the Inquisition and adding significant nuance to the entire question of the colonial encounter.
Revealing the crucial tension between the Jews as "others within" and the Indians as "others without," The Unconverted Self is a major reassessment of early modern European identity.
Jonathan Boyarin is the Leonard and Tobee Kaplan Distinguished Professor of Modern Jewish Thought in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, with adjunct appointments in the departments of Anthropology and Communications. He is the author, coauthor, or editor of a dozen books including Thinking in Jewish¸ also published by the University of Chicago Press.
The Unconverted Self
JEWS, INDIANS, AND THE IDENTITY OF CHRISTIAN EUROPE
By Jonathan Boyarin
The University of Chicago Press
Copyright © 2009 The University of Chicago
Until the Conversion of the Self
Speaking from the side of Christianity, the other in this event (namely, Judaism) is not just the indifferent alien; it is one's own other, the difference of one's belonging, that which one's self-identity can neither exclude nor contain, the conflict of interpretation in which one lives and which one cannot transcend. Gerald Bruns, "What is Tradition?"
Celsus remarked that "If all men wanted to be Christians, the Christians would no longer want them," and, although Origen vehemently denies the charge, we may wonder at what provoked the insight. Judith M. Lieu, Christian Identity in the Jewish and Graeco-Roman World
The focus on the colonizer's rhetoric of the gift ... allows us to raise an issue that ... could well be identified as the reluctance of the giver, an instance that points to the limits or resistances of such rhetoric. I am not referring here to the claims on the impossibility of giving as a founding paradox in Christian theology but rather to what seems to be at stake in the self-figuration of the colonial enterprise as an act of giving—cultural and religious: the preservation of the original meaning of the gift during and after its transmission and, ultimately, the identity of the giver. Osvaldo F. Pardo, The Origins of Mexican Catholicism
A "conversion identity"—an identity paradoxically dependent upon a radical change in identity—is historically constitutive of both the Christian community and the Christian individual. Steven F. Kruger, The Spectral Jew
Any project that attempts simultaneously to focus on the reciprocal effects of a dominant identity such as Christian Europe on others and on the formation of that identity is doomed to a vexing instability—using, and thereby reinforcing the seeming givenness of, what are actually contingent collective names. Historians and theorists of colonialism have examined the capacity of the subaltern to speak, and have attempted to recuperate the vision of the vanquished. As a result, perhaps by now we are better equipped to understand how domination is formed and constrained both by expert discourse on the dominated and by shifting mixes of absorption and abjection of various constitutive outsides, whether geographic or symbolic. Christian Europe is a creative response to shared problems of human existence, yet the moral aesthetic, central to Christian Europe, of the autonomous and self-responsible believer entailed dramatic tensions, and often catastrophic swings, between impulses toward exclusion and inclusion as intrinsic elements of the formation of that response.
FRONTIERS OF IDENTITY
It may be that, along with the well-noted privilege in much Christian doctrine of the principle of autonomy, there is something equally intrinsic to the universalizing logic of Christianity that constantly undermines this ideal of autonomous selfhood—that is, of identity. Being born to Christian parents does not guarantee one's own Christianity (certainly not, for example, in quite the same way that being born to Jewish parents has for centuries been said to guarantee one's Jewishness or even seal it as inevitable), and one of the richest moral motifs of this doctrine is that becoming Christian is a constant process. Christian identity is thus always under interrogation, never safe, fascinated by the dangers of what it is not. It is hardly surprising, then, that some missionaries sought martyrdom as a sanctifying imitation of the death of Christ. Even in the absence of a named, external infidel, medieval Christians understood "the formation of the Christian's will" as a constant effort, a struggle against impulses within the self that are never conquered and banished once and for all, so that the Christian self is never fully formed, is never separated from that which is non-self, and is never quite safe.
But the problem was not a new one in the dynamics of Christian self-making, nor was it seen as a flaw in the system. As Peter Brown notes, already Pope Gregory the Great (d. 604) followed the model of the classical philosophers in viewing the remaking of the self not only as possible but as a goal worth sacrificing the cultural comforts of home for. Moreover, "Jerome's incisive sentence—'Christians are made, not born'—meant that all Christians were converts"—divided from themselves, never finished.
What is remarkable is that the problem did not disappear after the first Christian centuries—after, that is, the possibility of being a Christian and a Jew was eliminated by generations of vigilant policing from both sides of the boundary. It seems the separation was never complete, the divorce never finalized. Traces of that abjected, divided self, often explicitly identified as the figure of the Jew or of Jewishness, continued to haunt Christendom. Up to the modern period, for example, as Claudine Fabre-Vassas puts it in the course of documenting the central place of pigs and porciculture in defining European Catholic identity, "[e]very pig contains a Jewish trace, as does every Christian child." Making a Christian thus entailed separating the neophyte from animality and from Jewishness. The abjected little Jew remained rhetorically present and articulate in the polemical Dialogi Petri et Moysi Iudaei, by the convert to Christianity known as Petrus Alfonsí: "To defend the arguments of the Christians, I have used the name which I now have as a Christian; to present the arguments of the adversary, the name which I had before baptism." It is doubtless accurate that Christians in the later Middle Ages, sensitive to questions of the sincerity of conversion in an age that had already grown more introspective, were concerned about whether it was possible for someone born Jewish ever to fully shed that identity and become wholly Christian—but such concerns were hardly limited to those who had experienced the conversion from Judaism in their own lifetime.
Reaching out to convert, especially to the extent it was accompanied by coercion, must have added a further element of self-doubt. The theologian Ramon Llull (d. 1315) urged compulsory attendance at Christian sermons by Jews and Muslims, yet also wrote that "no man can constrain another man to desire or to love by force." Although conversion of those born Jews to Christianity throughout the Middle Ages was generally an incidental phenomenon, it took on mass proportions in Catholic Iberia in 1391 and after, inducing a culture of systemic doubt concerning both Christian and Jewish identities, and contributing accordingly to a growing obsession with genealogy. Moreover, the conversations risked in the context of at least some conversionary efforts compounded this risk and doubt. Colonial and church authorities were made uneasy by friars who took the trouble to learn native languages.
It might be argued that the formation of an image of the other is in no way particular to the dynamics of Christian self-making. Homi Bhabha cautions: "The 'other' is never outside or beyond us; it emerges forcefully, within cultural discourse, when we think we speak most intimately and indigenously 'between ourselves.'" Bhabha's formulation might seem to leave no place for the autonomous existence of cultural formations that are not dominant in any given encounter. However, the broader interdisciplinary move by scholars to examine the particular contexts of domination and differentiation in various times and places has directly illuminated the problematic nature of dominant identity from the point of view of the dominated and in terms of subaltern agency. The lived experience of Jews and Indians thus was not a separate, irrelevant, or extraneous matter from their image as the "other." Their voices and perspectives are relevant because their own particular characteristics and resistances constrained the imaginary field in which Christian European identity could be articulated.
Since the philosophical ideas of difference and otherness have been given sociohistorical context mostly in postcolonial cultural studies, it is easy to suppose that the cultural dynamics to which they refer arose first or predominantly with modern European imperialism. Yet the Europe that engaged in that project resulted from an already long history of rhetorical, ritual, legal, and other efforts to create and maintain structures of collective identity and difference. In Iberia, the later Middle Ages were a time of conflict and creative interaction, and also of active separation between Christian, Jew, and Muslim, rather than a time of mere slippage into intolerance. Modern scholarship, anachronistically taking as a transhistorical norm the monocultural ideal of the European-derived nation-state system, persists in speaking of the coterritoriality of Catholic, Muslim, and Jewish cultures in Iberia as though they were three separate species that happened to survive reasonably well together and benefit from something like symbiosis. More recent critical reconsiderations, often drawing explicitly on strategies for analyzing power and culture in the colonial and postcolonial nexus, have begun to reshape this received view of medieval Iberia and the rest of what we call the European continent. What was, in the standard historiography, that freakish medieval situation ended on the brink of the Renaissance, precisely the period during which national vernaculars began to be promoted and standardized in western Europe and in which monumental national histories and epics began to be conceived. At the same time, that process of active separation of various groups was fostered by and helped to shape the intrusive Castilian state—a development that stimulated the expansion and rationalization of a textual bureaucracy which, in turn, was to foster the administration of Castilian empire overseas.
We are used to thinking of Iberia—at least since the time of the mass conversion of Jews in 1391, through the eventual expulsion of the Moriscos in the early seventeenth century and beyond—as a chronotope in which an "extraordinary concern" prevailed about "boundaries, definitions, self-definitions, and classifications." Yet when Caroline Walker Bynum wrote those words, she was actually thinking about western Europe in the twelfth century. As she notes, polemics in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries had more to do with the evocation of an other, to be excluded in rhetoric as a means of self-definition, than with any attempt at dialogue or even conversion. Thus, when Saint Anselm (d. 1109) wrote his Cur deus homo, his purpose was to edify Christians, not to convince anyone else of the truth of Christianity. And if we are accustomed to seeing the conversionary effort in missionary and adventurist guise, it is worth remembering that such a figure as Bernard of Clairvaux exemplified and legitimated the transition from a warrior ethos to a monastic ethos.
Specific cultural technologies for the legitimation, maintenance, and regulated crossing of intercultural boundaries were part of these processes of active separation and self-definition. They were to continue to serve as important resources in subsequent colonial encounters. The relationship between Catholic European policies toward Jews in Europe and toward native peoples in Central and South America is not merely a matter of analogy. These two sets of relationships represent two moments in a broader attempt to achieve and maintain coherence within a collective that was both expanding and riven by doubts about the coherence and legitimacy of an identity it represented to itself as both Christian and European, freighting the terms with much baggage. Drawing out some of the patterns of this contingency can help to dispel the numbing effect of rhetoric that characterizes past centuries as enjoying "an instinctive belief in the natural superiority of Christians over mere 'barbarians.'" Such language takes as a given the long process by which such belief could come to be questioned so rarely that in retrospect a leading historian could plausibly call it instinctive, and it occludes many fissures in that belief.
WHEN IS EUROPE?
Partly as a legacy of these peculiarly Christian problematics of selfhood and difference and partly as a heritage of ancient Greek analysis, Europe even today remains intensely concerned with the problem of its own identity. To a certain extent, this constant worry about articulating and analyzing identity is what constitutes the identity of Europe. As we develop the problematic of dominant identity and various subordinate differences in medieval and early modern Europe, this recognition of the European anxiety about identity helps to guard against at least three potential pitfalls: caricature, pathos, and normatization. It is worthwhile identifying these pitfalls because my interrogation of Christian Europe is meant to humanize, not to exoticize.
Early in Stephen Greenblatt's Marvelous Possessions, he summarizes the Christian dogma adhered to by "the Spanish" as seen from an alien perspective. The summary bears lengthy quotation.
The Europeans who ventured to the New World in the first decades after Columbus's discovery shared a complex, well-developed, and, above all, mobile technology of power: writing, navigational instruments, ships, war-horses, attack dogs, effective armor, and highly lethal weapons, including gunpowder. Their culture was characterized by immense confidence in its own centrality, by a political organization based on practices of command and submission, by a willingness to use coercive violence on both strangers and fellow countrymen, and by a religious ideology centered on the endlessly proliferated representation of a tortured and murdered god of love. The cult of this male god—a deity whose earthly form was born from the womb of a virgin and sacrificed by his heavenly father to atone for human disobedience—in turn centered on a ritual (highly contested, of course, by the second decade of the sixteenth century and variously interpreted) in which the god's flesh and blood were symbolically eaten. Such was the confidence of this culture that it expected perfect strangers—the Arawaks of the Caribbean, for example—to abandon their own beliefs, preferably immediately, and embrace those of Europe as luminously and self-evidently true. A failure to do so provoked impatience, contempt, and even murderous rage.
If the failure of "perfect strangers" to conform immediately to the doctrine produced "murderous rage," then just how confident was this "culture" really? The problem underlying this apparent inconsistency in Greenblatt's description is characteristic of New Historicist analysis at its most culturalist, least historical, and most susceptible to a descent from characterization into caricature: Greenblatt collapses all of the Spanish into representatives of one "culture." His statement in isolation (though not his entire book) elides vitally important distinctions among Spaniards who were present in the New World or otherwise engaged in the colonial encounter, such as distinctions between encomenderos (landed colonizers) interested in cheap native labor and missionaries passionately defending the humanity and hence susceptibility to conversion of those same natives. At the same time, Greenblatt's caricature also stands as a thumbnail characterization of the aspirations toward a common Christian European identity whose articulation—over the course of several centuries, and never fully realized—is studied in this book.
If one pitfall is the reduction of a diverse and divided culture anxious about its own identity to the culture of "Europe" to which Europeans at most merely aspired, its obverse presents a similar "plot device" to be avoided—that of unified resistance by the colonized to efforts at domination by the colonizers. The temptation here is to evoke a hitherto unrevealed similarity between Jews and Indians as partners in resistance or shared complaint as fellow victims (such as is suggested by a title like Stannard's American Holocaust). Although recalling the undercurrent of resistance does help to avoid the impression that Jews and Indians served as passive, inert foils for Christian identity, over the course of centuries explicit Jewish and Indian identities were elaborated in ways that substantially overlapped with the modalities of Christian identity. Meanwhile, the resistant rhetorics and practices of Jews and Indians constrained the field of Christian autonomy, and thus profoundly contributed to the particular forms that Christian Europe took in the postmedieval era.

This interesting footage of triangle UFO sighting was recorded over Barrie in Ontario Canada on 27th February 2017.
Witness report: I pulled onto my street heading home and I noticed 3 bright lights in the sky; 2 red and one white flashing very fast. I recorded it for a few seconds from my car, until the video went out of focus, then pulled into my driveway and went inside to tell people to come look. My brother-in-law came outside and saw it as well. I started to record again and as I did it changed its white light to red and began pulsating slowly with the other 2 lights now turned off. It then flickered its lights and changed the red pulsating light back to white, continued to pulsate, and then went back to flashing again for the remainder of the time I watched. It eventually vanished from view.
UFO Fan Disappears Without A Trace – Leaving Coded Writings In His Room VIDEO!
the majority of all photos and videos that I have seen are real..!!!
(VIA) Video or photos or with my own eyes I believe they are real.
Chanya, I think you may be deluding yourself with that comment. Watching any video cannot tell you the entire truth about that sighting. Be cautious and do your homework.
dji mavic with battery running low.
What was the estimated size,speed etc? Could it have been a drone?
Could it have been a drone?
what's wierd is that you're an ontario-an and you are swearing like a mofo. some drones are very quiet. and you are at a distance so no, you would not hear a drone. it looks like drones are going to totally ruin actual ufo sightings.
measuring voice distress patterns of this sample video, leads me to believe that these guys are guilty of a poor hoax. They talk matter of fact(ly) while witnessing this incident take place…surely they would have a bit of excitement or even fright that would be detectable in their voices.


Every so often I hear from RVers who are not fulltimers wanting to know about establishing an address with a mail forwarding service and then buying an RV out-of-state and registering it in one of the more RV friendly states like Texas, South Dakota, or Florida. Some of them plan to leave their homes and become fulltimers, while others just want to establish a domicile in one of the states listed above to save money on sales tax, registration fees, and insurance. My advice is always, don't do it!
It's perfectly legal to choose any state you want as your legal domicile, but that has to be your legal domicile. For example, you can't live in New Jersey and have a Florida drivers license and your vehicles registered in Florida. Either you live in Florida or you live in New Jersey, or wherever, but you can't have both. Yes, you can own property in more than one state, you can even own a home in more than one state, but you still have to be a resident of just one state. I always tell people that you can't be a little bit pregnant, and you can't be a little bit of a resident of one state and a little bit of a resident of another.
If you live in New Jersey or Colorado, or whatever state you call home at this point, be aware that you can face heavy fines and penalties for registering your vehicles in another state. A while back a lot of Californians and people who lived in Colorado, for example, were registering their RVs in Montana but still actually resided in their home state. They did it to save money, but for many of them it didn't work out that way. Their home states, the places where they owned a house and went to work every day and paid utility bills made a case that they were being cheated out of tax funds and prosecuted. It was very costly. I have heard of fines totaling tens of thousands of dollars.
If you plan to become a fulltimer, you can establish your legal domicile in another state as long as you don't do it and then wait six months or a year or so to hit the road. Trust me, if the police know you live in your town and see you driving around in a car with out-of-state plates, you very likely will get pulled over.
Years ago when we changed vehicles, we gave the one we had been using, which was registered in Texas, to my daughter and her husband, who lived in northern Arizona. It took a couple of months to get a lien release and get the title to them, and in that time they were stopped three or four times by the police in their small town. The last time they were told that if they were caught driving the truck again while it was still registered out-of-state and in our names, they were going to get a ticket and the vehicle would be impounded. Do things right and save yourself a lot of hassle.
After reading yesterday's blog, Kayaks and RVing, two different readers wanted to know if Terry and I would be interested in selling our Sea Eagle inflatable kayaks now that we are not traveling and have the hard shell Old Town Predator 13s. No, thanks. We really like the Sea Eagles, and it's good to have a couple of extra boats around for when we have visitors. Plus, we have talked about throwing them in the van when we take some trips this coming summer. There is still a lot of good paddling to be done all over the country.
Yesterday was another marathon writing day for me, and by the time I knocked off about 7:30 PM I had gotten another 8,500 words out in my new John Lee Quarrels book. At this rate, I'm pretty sure I'll have it finished by the weekend.
While I was doing that, Miss Terry was busy putting hundreds of new string heddles on one of her big Glimakra looms and getting it ready for her next weaving project. Crawling around inside that thing is a lot of work and she wound up with enough bruises on her legs that I'm glad someone didn't see her and think I was abusing her. But she says it's worth it, and we all know how much she loves weaving.

Look on any class A truck driving down the road the license plate and their door tag states most don't match.
Ed, I don't know about Florida, but several states have decided the LLC thing is invalid and a tax scam if the people live in their state. We know more than one RVer who went the Montana LLC route and were hit hard with fines by their respective states, California, Minnesota, and Colorado.
Late Response – It seems the key issue here is that some folks who get in trouble do not really "leave" their state like we did and and cut all financial ties. We did the Montana LLC, severed all ties with home state Maryland (very high taxation), registered in Texas and traveled for 6 years problem-free. When we bought a house in South Dakota we simply re-registered our vehicles (we were told by locals that was optional!) and paid some sales tax we had never paid before.
We too know several people who are "gaming" the system. Ouch!

Q: Kubuntu 20.04 (kernel 5.0.4) doesn't recognize Kobo Aura anymore I'm having problems with my ebook reader Kobo Aura (first version).
I updated my e-reader to the last version of the firmware (4.25.15875, 9/11/2020), also the kernel of Kubuntu 20.04 is updated: this is the output of "uname -a"
Linux zotnam 5.4.0-54-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 10:37:59 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I disabled tlp to see if it could interfere, but nothing changed. The ebook reader is not recognised even if I launch the command "lsusb".
I had no problems before the updates.
Is there any workaround to this?

A: I had this problem.
I plugged into a different machine (a Raspberry Pi4, 5.4.83) and it worked fine.
My guess is that the USB hardware or drivers on the Kobo are a bit problematic.

Here's a project I made last Christmas for my other blog, Everyday Cricut.
I really think you can't have too many gift bags during the holiday season! And it's so easy to make a really cute, personalized one using the Cricut and kraft bags you can buy at Michaels or Joanns.
When you use a coupon, it gets really economical to do this. And they can even be personalized that way!
I used a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" mini kraft bag as a basis to today's "Ho Ho Ho" Christmas gift bag.
I cut the "Ho Ho Ho" from the Close to My Heart Cricut Artiste cartridge at 5" and adhered it to a layered set of patterned papers.
Then, again using the Close to My Heart Cricut Artiste cartridge and the matching Close to My Heart Merry Christmas stamp set, I cut out the ornament and stamped it. Quick and easy!
I've had relatives visiting this week and my husband has been away in Singapore and Malaysia and the Phillipines (before the typhoon...thank God!). So, it's been very busy at the homestead! Today he comes home and I can't wait!
Look for new projects coming soon!

Gawin Earl Douglass (1908-1998) was the only child of Earl Dougass, a paleontologist and geologist who made an outstanding discovery of dinosaur bones in the early 1900's. Earl died when his son was only 22 years of age but he remained a part of Gawin's heart and mind for a lifetime. Gawin grew up, from the age of 18 months, in a tent camp, and later a log home, close to the site where his father made his original discovery. The quarry, near Jensen, Utah, later was set aside as Dinosaur National Monument.
self-educated through books and the land. Later, he attended Salt Lakes City's East High School but his failure to hand in some papers for an English class prevented him from receiving a diploma. Formal education did not hold much esteem for Gawin; hence he never attempted to complete his high school education. He did however, learn much from his father about Geology and read extensively on the subject, which later enabled him to become a mining engineer.
After his retirement from California gold-dredging company in 1960, Gawin began to go through his father's diaries and wrote his manuscript. The diaries and writing of Earl Douglass are cited extensively throughout and are the basis for this book.

FAA tells Boeing more training for 737 MAX pilots may be needed
Feb. 28, 2020 at 4:13 pm Updated March 1, 2020 at 8:59 pm
Alan Levin
U.S. regulators have told Boeing that pilots may require additional training to properly respond to emergencies on the 737 Max after airline crews failed to perform proper procedures in simulator tests.
In a Feb. 19 letter to Boeing reviewed by Bloomberg News, the Federal Aviation Administration detailed multiple missteps that airline crews had made in the December simulator sessions and said additional tests are needed. The simulations replicated failures similar to those in two fatal crashes.
An analysis of the results by FAA and regulators in other nations reviewing revisions to the grounded jetliner may prompt "additional training requirements pertaining to the" aircraft, the letter said.
As a result of the tests, Boeing had already reversed its long-held position that Max pilots who were certified to fly on earlier versions of the 737 didn't need extra simulator training. But the letter provides more detail about issues raised in the sessions and is the first indication that the government is also examining the need for more training requirements.
737 MAX CRISIS COMPLETE COVERAGE »
Delays in 737 MAX certification flight may push off Boeing's goal to win approval by midsummer
Boeing finds debris in wing fuel tanks of undelivered 737 MAXs, orders inspections
Alaska Airlines to buy 200 new jets over a decade – 737 MAXs and maybe Airbus A321s
It is the latest complication for Boeing's efforts to bring the 737 Max — its best-selling jet — back into service almost a year after it was grounded worldwide after the crashes. Decisions on training are important because they could delay the plane's return and be costly for airlines.
"We have submitted an initial recommendation regarding simulator training on the737 Max, but we will continue to work with airline customers and globalregulators to assess and finalize the content of the training," Boeing said inan emailed statement. "Ultimately, it will be the regulators who determine thetraining requirements."
Pilots from the three U.S. carriers that fly the Max, American Airlines Group Inc., United Airlines Holdings Inc. and Southwest Airlines Co., along with a crew from Grupo Aeromexico SAB were tested in December simulations of multiple emergency scenarios.
The tests were conducted in a simulator running Boeing's updated flight-control system that was developed in the wake of the crashes. While none of the crews committed such egregious mistakes that they lost their planes, the errors were extensive, according to the FAA letter.
The pilots, who had received additional training proposed by the company, failed to finish emergency checklists related to the automated system involved in both 737 Max crashes, known as Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System.
In addition, they had difficulty with emergency procedures related to sensor failures, erroneous altitude and airspeed readings and the autopilot, among others, according to the letter.
The tests also showed that some pilots were confused about how the autopilot behaved in some circumstances and their interactions with the plane's automated warning systems were distracting.
The FAA said it had asked members of the Joint Operations Evaluation Board — made up of pilot-training experts from the agency as well as Europe, Canada and Brazil — to perform similar reviews.
The tests are part of federal requirements that airliner systems must be relatively intuitive and average pilots can perform the procedures necessary to respond to failures and emergencies.
'Deliberate Process'
The effort is part of a multi-step process of evaluating training requirements for the plane. The FAA is taking the lead, but regulators such as the European Aviation Safety Agency are working with the agency and performing their own assessments.
"The agency is following a thorough, deliberate process to verify that all proposed modifications to the Boeing 737 Max meet the highest certification standards," the agency said in a statement.
The FAA is working with aviation regulators in other nations and will take as much time as it required, the agency said.
The crashes of two 737 Max jets — in October 2018 near the coast of Indonesia and in March 2019 in Ethiopia — killed 346 people, led to the prolonged grounding and prompted massive upheaval at Boeing.
Boeing is already in the process of expanding training following its Jan. 7 announcement that it backed mandatory simulator sessions for pilots transitioning from the popular 737 Next-Generation models to the Max.
The planemaker originally had sold the Max as an updated version of its 737 and so similar to earlier models that pilots only needed a short training course on an iPad.
However, the pilots in the simulator sessions in December had been given a revised training course and still made multiple missteps, showing that more was needed.
Boeing's January decision makes it almost certain that regulators in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere will mandate simulator training, though they haven't yet made a decision.

"Just promise me that when you find your answer, you wont change at all." Haruko said laying her head back on him.
Midna stares at him and again says something in Twili, touching her thought.
Daimos shakes his head then puts his arm around her shoulder. "Nah, I'm not gonna change. If anything, I'll be more complete, I'll know more about myself. Hell, I may even become stronger. Who knows? But I do know this...I'll still be the same person I am now, that's a promise."
"Thats good to know. I dont want to have you come back being a deferent person. I love you the way you are now, nothing will change that."
"You can't speak English, can you?" He asked.
Midna shook her head as a response to no.
Bes sighed. "I guess you can't speak Heartless either, or any language but Twili?"
Daimos smiles then looks out to sea briefly. He then looks over at Midna and Bes. "Looks like she made a new friend...I guess she's not as bad as I thought she was. Maybe a little mischievous, but she's alright." He says and smiles slightly.
Midna turns up to and seems to be starring right up at Daimos. She turns back to Bes and only starred at him. "It doesn't look like she is doing with him to well."
Bes just stared back at her, not knowing what to say.
Daimos grins slightly. "Do you think I should send one of my dragons over there to step in? Or do you think little Midna can handle it herself?"
Bes looks around a little before continuing to stare at Midna.
"Midna is stronger then any dragon you can send over there." Haruko said smiling to Daimos.
Midna starts to circle Bes and says another thing in Twili.
"I wish I knew what you are saying." Bes said, watching Midna walk around him.
"Yeah, for right now. But there are stronger and more powerful dragons out there....I'm just having trouble finding them, that's all." He says then laughs a little.
"Don't worry, you will find one." Haruko said as she kissed his cheek.
Midna laughed and stopped in front of Bes again, saying something in Twili.
Bes stayed silent. "I really have to learn how to understand that language..."
Daimos nods then smiles. "Yeah, you're right. I'll find one eventually. Who knows, maybe I'll find the strongest one in existence." He shrugs and continues to watch Midna and Bes.
Midna changes her form to shape that of a heartless' form. She grinned at him and gave a demonic laugh.
Bes smirked and turned to his Heartless form as well.
"Hey, whats with the heartless forms?"
Bes just jumped around, saying something in his language.
Midna smiled and turned into a replica of Ven.
Bes jumped around happily as usual, scattering sand around.
Ven kicks sand in Midna/Ven's eyes.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co. were warned by federal regulators that they may face civil claims tied to sales of mortgage-backed securities.
Once gain both the twins were part of the ponzi using MERS, exactly as the rest of the other shareholders (Banks) sought it out to be…a Strawman!
There is so much about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that we should be angry about.
In their heyday, these strange hybrids — part corporation, part government agency — were the biggest bullies in Washington, quick to bludgeon critics who dared suggest that their dual missions of maximizing profits while making homeownership affordable for low- and moderate-income Americans were incompatible. They steamrolled their regulator and pushed back at any suggestion that their capital was inadequate.
U.S. government investigates mortgage bosses for financial recklessness but are not looking into any jail time.
Leave it up to Abigail to set the record straight!
The SEC has sued former executives of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for repeatedly lying to investors about their companies' subprime portfolios. The complaints are very detailed and strong, alleging multiple securities law violations and violations of Sarbanes-Oxley. The complaints try to force the executives to give up their ill-gotten gains, pay penalties, and ban them from being a director or officer of a public company. Interestingly, the complaints are backed by separate cooperation and nonprosecution agreements with each company.
Just more of the same, except they still hold millions from the fraud!
Looks like taxpayers will also be picking up this tab!
Six former top executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were sued by U.S. regulators on charges of misleading investors about the mortgage finance companies' exposure to risky home loans in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis.
The case is one of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's biggest actions against high-level financial industry executives, although the regulator did not specify a dollar amount for damages in the alleged fraud. Many lawmakers consider Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at least partly responsible for the 2008 crisis, saying they encouraged lax lending to home buyers that led to a massive real estate bubble.
Judge Rakoff just keeps wowing us, day after day!
Sure he will do all in his power to squirm out of this one.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein may be asked to testify in a market regulator's insider-trading case against a former director of the Wall Street bank, a judge ruled.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has accused Rajat Gupta, a former board member at Goldman and Procter & Gamble, of giving inside tips about the two companies to his friend Raj Rajaratnam in 2008 and 2009.
Somehow the banking industry has convinced much of the public and most of our political leaders that our housing and foreclosure crisis is the fault of irresponsible borrowers despite the overwhelming evidence that greedy bankers are to blame. Since good policy can't happen unless people escape the bankers' web of misinformation and spin, I thought it would be appropriate to synthesize what we've learned about the greed-driven decisions of bankers and Wall Street traders and what they reveal about how we got where we are now.
If you recall from the previous unsealed complaint, "Top JPMorgan Execs. Were Warned of Madoff Scheme", this appears to be similar…certainly if there is one, there must be others.
This is just slightly south of the entire settlement package of the Foreclosure Fraud settlement, which is also nilch for the acts committed.
Former customers of Bernard Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme filed a class action lawsuit on Monday seeking to recover $19 billion from JPMorgan Chase & Co, claiming the bank willfully ignored signs of fraud.
JPMorgan was Madoff's bank for two decades. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, claims the bank was "thoroughly complicit" in concealing Madoff's fraud.
Unreal and they wonder why anyone would do business with these fools. Perhaps the market won't turn around because many not all lenders did fraudulent activities with these loans.
Seems they are trying to go back to the easy billions they are used to making.
Government efforts to make lenders pay for soured mortgages may be keeping potential borrowers from record-low interest rates, slowing home sales and refinancing as banks tighten standards to avoid more demands for refunds.
Lenders are insisting on higher credit scores and more documents than required by the Federal Housing Administration and government-backed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Quicken Loans Inc. and Vision Mortgage Capital are among firms saying they are increasing scrutiny of would-be borrowers in response to pressure to cover losses incurred on U.S.-backed housing debt.
SEC charges Citigroup $285M with misleading investors about mortgage-backed CDO; Credit Suisse sanctioned.
Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) — Citigroup Inc. has agreed to pay close to $300 million to resolve U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission claims that it misled investors about a financial product linked to risky mortgages, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
The settlement is subject to approval by the SEC commissioners, who were scheduled to vote on it today, the person said, declining to be identified because the matter isn't public. One Citigroup executive and an employee from another firm involved in the deal are also named in the SEC's claims, according to the person.
It's all of the banks. They did not accumulate wealth because they were honest. It's all of them!
Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the so-called Big Four accounting firms, was sued for failing to detect a fraud that allegedly led to more than $7 billion in losses at defunct mortgage lender Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp.
Deloitte, which audited Taylor Bean's financial statements from 2002 to August 2009, ignored red flags in the company's books, allowing the lender's former chairman Lee Farkas to orchestrate a fraud that toppled the company, according to the complaints filed today in state court in Miami. Taylor Bean's bankruptcy trustee, Neil Luria, and its Ocala Funding unit are seeking more than $7.6 billion in damages.
Banks blow up mortgage settlement talks, despite Iowa AG Tom Miller's begging and whimpering!!
The five biggest mortgage servicers have cancelled a planned negotiating session with representatives of the 50 State Attorneys General in apparent protest over a federal regulator filing suit against them, a source familiar with the matter tells TIME.
The banks canceled the meeting on Tuesday afternoon in protest over the announcement last Friday that the Federal Housing Finance Agency would bring a broad case against 17 firms, including those in talks with the State AGs. The FHFA, which oversees mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, alleges the firms violated securities law by misrepresenting the value of bundles of high-risk mortgages they sold. FHFA did not say how much the case might be worth, but outside analysts have said it could potentially produce billions of dollars in compensatory damages from the firms.
Long before the banks started evicting delinquent homeowners, Wall Street, it appears, used robo-signers to ink mortgage deals that would eventually cost investors tens of billions of dollars and in part led to the financial crisis.
This is a great article written by Kevin Villani who was senior vice president and chief economist at Freddie Mac from 1982 to 1985.
In the 1980s Freddie Mac had a marketing campaign "The Gnomes Know," touting their expertise in mortgage markets. Now the Federal Housing Finance Agency has filed a $200 billion lawsuit against 17 of the nation's largest mortgage lenders arguing that during the subprime lending debacle of the last decade the gnomes didn't know!
Last Friday the U.S. regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which has the oversight responsibility of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, sued 17 large banks and financial institutions relating to losses on approximately $200 billion of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac subprime bonds.
Now, let me be clear right from the start. I am no apologist for the banks. And historically my tendency has been to support better financial regulation and even the Democratic Party through my voting preference.
However, enough is enough. At this point in time the Government and the FHFA have no right to sue the banking industry on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That is a joke.
If William K. Black and Janet would only team up to write a book?
There were many factors that contributed to our recent financial bubble: deregulation, cheap money from the Fed, failure to enforce remaining regulations, crony capitalism, hubris, speculation, leverage, and fraud among other problems. While fraud wasn't the only issue, it was and is a significant contributor to the credit bubble. Restraining fraud is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a sound financial system. Congressional investigations in recent years have put ample evidence of fraud in the public domain.
Big U.S. banks in talks with state prosecutors to settle claims of improper mortgage practices have been offered a deal that is proposed to limit part of their legal liability, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
The FT said state prosecutors have proposed a deal to limit part of the banks' liability in return for a multibillion-dollar payment.
The talks aim to settle allegations that banks including Bank of America (BAC.N), JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), Wells Fargo (WFC.N), Citigroup (C.N) and Ally Financial (GKM.N). seized the homes of delinquent borrowers and broke state laws by employing so-called "robosigners", workers who signed off on foreclosure documents en masse without reviewing the paperwork.
FHFA Complaints: Can Control Frauds Recover for Being Defrauded by other Control Frauds?
Reading the FHFA complaints against many of the world's largest banks is a fascinating and troubling process for anyone that understands "accounting control fraud." The FHFA, a federal regulatory agency, sued in its capacity as conservator for Fannie and Freddie. Its complaints are primarily based on fraud. The FHFA alleges that the fraud came from the top, i.e., it alleges that many of the world's largest banks were control frauds and that they committed hundreds of thousands of fraudulent acts. The FHFA complaints emphasize that other governmental investigations have repeatedly confirmed that the defendant banks were engaged in endemic fraud. The failure of the Department of Justice to convict any senior official of a major bank, and the almost total failure to indict any senior official of a major bank has moved from scandal to farce.
