Home Oak Often asked: What Kind Of Nuts Are On An Oak Tree?
Often asked: What Kind Of Nuts Are On An Oak Tree?
Acorns are the nuts of oak trees, which grow abundantly across the globe. Once a staple food for various societies, acorns are not as frequently consumed today ( 1 ). Though these nuts are packed with nutrients, it's often debated whether they're safe to eat.
Do oak trees produce acorns all year round?
By the time it reaches 70 or 80 years of age, an oak tree produces thousands of acorns annually. Oak trees sometimes rest for a year after yielding a heavy crop, so a tree may not produce acorns every single year.

2 Can you eat acorns from a oak tree?
3 How long do oak trees live?
4 Do old oak trees stop producing acorns?
5 What can I do with fallen acorns?

12 Why are there no acorns this year 2020?

What nut grows on an oak tree?
The nut of the oak tree, called the acorn, is made up of the cap, the tough outer shell, and the kernel inside. The tough outer shell and the cap of the acorn, called the cupule, protect the seed.
Can you eat acorns from a oak tree?
They can be eaten whole, ground up into acorn meal or flour, or made into mush to have their oil extracted. Once you've safely leached the tannins from your raw acorns, you can roast them for 15 to 20 minutes and sprinkle them with salt for a snack.

How long do oak trees live?
Oak Tree Natural History and Ancient Wisdom: The Oak Tree can live up to 1000 years old but are generally mature at 75, and live on average 150-250 years.
Do old oak trees stop producing acorns?
"Oak trees can start producing acorns when they are 20 years old, but sometimes can go all the way to 50 years for the first production. By the time the tree is 70 to 80 years old it will produce thousands of acorns. The oak trees produce acorns once a year during the fall.
What can I do with fallen acorns?
Hunters use them as deer bait, so they will often buy them and spread them during hunting season. Creative people use acorns in crafts, especially during the holiday season. Some ideas for acorn crafts include, wreaths, picture frames, candles, jewelry, animal shapes, and Christmas ornaments.
Why is my oak tree dropping so many acorns?
Typically, acorns "fall" around fall—in boom and bust cycles—to help plant new trees and to provide a nutritious food source for a number of critters. If your trees are shedding acorns prematurely it's a sign that they are focusing their energy on other things rather than seed production.
What happens if you eat a raw acorn?
Raw acorns contain tannins which can be toxic to humans and cause an unpleasant bitter taste. They are also poisonous to horses, cattle and dogs. But by leaching acorns to remove the tannin, they can be made safe for human consumption.
What is so special about oak trees?
Oak trees can grow to gargantuan sizes. Some are able to reach 70 feet in height, 135 feet in length, and 9 feet wide. One of the largest oak trees is found in Goose Island State Park. Their sheer size makes them thirsty trees, absorbing upwards of 50 gallons of water a day.
You might be interested: How To Prune An Oak Tree Sapling?
How old is an oak tree by circumference?
Multiply the diameter by 5.0 if it is a white oak. If the tree is a pin oak or red oak, multiply the diameter by 3.5. The result is the approximate age in years. We stress that this is an estimate – not an exact way of measuring a tree's age.
Do oak tree roots continue grow?
Do Oak Tree Roots Grow Down or Out? Oak tree roots spread outward more than downward. The majority of the roots that support your oak tree are within the top 18 inches of the soil. The only oak root that grows downward is the taproot, which grows straight down into the soil, typically to a depth of 3–5 feet.
Do oak trees produce more acorns some years?
Acorns belonging to trees in the red oak group take two growing seasons to mature; acorns in the white oak group mature in one season. Oak trees of North America annually produce more nuts than all the region's other nut trees together, wild and cultivated. One huge oak can drop up to 10,000 acorns in a mast year!
Why are there no acorns this year 2020?
The acorn shortage may be hard on squirrels, but it doesn't indicate a problem for oak trees. It's just part of their normal boom-and-bust cycle. Instead of producing a regular yearly supply of nuts, oak trees tend to have a bumper crop every two to five years. Botanists call that a mast year.
Is there an oak tree that does not have acorns?
No — all oaks have male and female flowers on the same tree (monecious). Therefore, all oak trees are capable of producing fruit (e.g., acorns) when the tree reaches sexual maturity.

European states rely on QCF to recognise English apprenticeships, DWP official admits
Mon 16th Mar 2015, 17.37
The method used by other European states to recognise English apprenticeships relies on the doomed Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF), a senior civil servant has admitted.
Angus Gray (pictured), head of the European Social Fund division at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) was giving evidence to the House of Lords EU internal market, infrastructure and employment sub-committee today (March 16) alongside Employment Minister Esther McVey.
When asked by Lord Liverpool whether the government has any evidence of the UK apprenticeship qualifications being recognised in other EU member states, Mr Gray said the QCF, which is due to be scrapped by regulator Ofqual, currently allowed that recognition to take place.
Mr Gray said: "Essentially an apprenticeship, as you know, is a mixture of work and a series of qualifications which are made up in a series of models.
"And in terms of mapping to Europe, the current UK qualification system overall which is called the QCF maps across to the European equivalent, the European qualifications framework, so that does help other member states, people in other member states, employers in other member states to recognise what the UK means when they say 'this apprenticeship is made up of these qualifications'.
"They can map those qualifications across to this European framework. And the more that other states also do the same, the more that cross-understanding of the equivalents can be understood."

David Rutley MP
Member of Parliament for Macclesfield
MP Visits 'That Refill Place' Pop-up Shop
Local MP, David Rutley, recently visited a new local business, That Refill Place, to help raise awareness of how we can all reduce our reliance on single use plastics to live, work and shop in an affordable, more environmentally sustainable way. David met with Ashley Harbour, founder of That Refill Place, at her new pop-up shop at The Foxhole in Prestbury Village.
That Refill Place, set up in the autumn and based in Macclesfield, is an online store selling a wide range of plastic free products to help households cut down on single use plastics for day-to-day sustainable living. Ashley was inspired by Sir David Attenborough's message on how single use throw away plastics posed serious challenges to the environment and wildlife.
During his visit, David was impressed by the variety of goods on offer, which are available online here www.thatrefillplace.co.uk. Goods range from not only groceries, but also include health and beauty products, storage solutions and household essentials. The pop-up shop is held at The Foxhole pub in the village, which is closed due to Coronavirus restrictions. The collaboration between That Refill Place and The Foxhole is a great example of local businesses working together to support the village centre in Prestbury in the current challenging trading conditions. David also met with Kip and Tess Evans who run The Foxhole pub. Whilst operating as a pop-up shop, Ashley is still fulfilling online orders with the option of free home delivery and a click and collect service.
Environmental sustainability, including efforts to reduce our reliance on single use plastics, is an important issue for David. He continues to be committed to efforts on environmental change. In Parliament, David strongly supports Government action to meet this challenge and is always keen to support local solutions to environmental issues, such as That Refill Place.
After meeting Ashley at the pop-up shop, David said, "This is a innovative new business in the Macclesfield area with the aim of helping us all to live more sustainably. Unnecessary and preventable plastic waste is an environmental blight.
"That Refill Place offers products which can help us to play our part, I was very impressed by what Ashley had to say and the nature of her business. It's always welcome to see new businesses open locally and supporting each other, especially in these challenging times. I wish her every success going-forward."

'First-class bloodbath'—That time Pat Dye maybe made Auburn play two A-Day games
April 18, 2013 by Jeremy Henderson 2 Comments
Auburn running backs coach Bud "Blood on the Saddle" Casey, Spring '81. His face is covered in blood. He was a coach.
Coach doesn't remember a lot about it. Was it his first year or his second? Coach doesn't remember a lot of things. But to be fair, his recollecting kept getting interrupted. He was out in the country with some folks on a supposedly controlled burn when I got him on the phone.
So I read it to him, his little-noticed contribution to a 2011 Sports Illustrated story on the history of spring practice:
In 1981 Auburn coach Pat Dye, upset with what he considered the poor effort and intensity level of his team during the spring game, told his charges to meet him on the Jordan-Hare Stadium field two nights later. "We're going to play another game," Dye said, "and we're going to find out who wants to play ball next fall."
"That game was a first-class bloodbath," says Ray Moon, an SEC official from 1974 through 2001 who worked as a linesman for both of those games at Auburn. "Dye locked the doors to the stadium, and it was as violent as anything in the spring I ever saw. If a player got hurt on one side of the field, the coaches would move the ball to the other hash mark and tell the kids to keep playing, even while the injured player was still on the ground. It was vicious."
That jogs it, that lockin' the doors part, but only a bit. And only maybe. Is he talking about the same thing? Who knows, who cares, it's classic Pat Dye.
"We had a scrimmage up there during that first spring in '81 during a coaching clinic," Dye said. "We called them all up in the middle of the field. The high school coaches were going to a fish fry. They all left. Everybody cleared the stadium, and I sent the first string defense to the locker room. I kept the second string out there."
Dye says he then told the first string offense to put the ball on the goal line and told them to put the ball in the end zone. The one on the other side of the field.
"It probably took 25 or 30 plays for them to go 100 yards."
When they did, he told them to do it again. And agin. And agin.
"They all still talk about it today," Dye said. "It probably did more to establish our toughness than any one thing I might have done while I was Auburn because—hey, y'all settin' my truck on fire!?"

Did you know that sales fear and lack of sales confidence is one of the top problems faced by service professionals?
Point is, sales IS personal.
Sales IS a reflection on us.
Hearing the old "more no's get us closer to yes" cliché doesn't help you, right?
Fortunately, the Glengarry Glen Ross sales world doesn't apply to us coaches. In fact that world SHOULD NEVER apply to us. If fear, foulness, and lack of ethics is our model, then we're in real trouble. Sadly, that's still how so many of us LOOK at sales.
Today we're smashing past all that!
How? By getting "right" with our inner sales selves. And what better way than taking all the personal emotions, baggage, and motion-picture-induced-fear out of our inner beings and get it all down to a sales equation.
You know I love equations on this show, and yep—got one for sales too. Call it formula or equation, either way, it can help YOU get the job done. I won't guarantee that you'll never be hurt, or that you'll close 100% of your deals (no one does), but you WILL kick the fear if you put it into practice.
And, you WILL see an increase in your sales if everything is done by the formula. And today I'm covering the sales fear-smashing formula in detail.
The full Sales Formula. This equation makes sales as clear as getting groceries, or taking your kids to school. Better yet—it removes emotion, concern, and anguish from the sales process.
5 ways to build sales confidence now.
How and where to get real and useful target market data.
What TWO things are needed to make sales timing successful.

Nikolai Sulima (; 1777-1840) was a Russian statesman and military commander, a General of the Imperial Russian Army during Napoleonic Wars and the November Uprising. A distant descendant of hetman Ivan Sulyma and numerous Polish noble families, he joined the army early in his life.

He was taken prisoner in the Battle of Austerlitz, but was exchanged for a French officer soon afterwards. During the Russian campaign against Poland in 1831 he took part in the Battle of Warsaw. Named governor of Eastern Siberia and then Western Siberia in 1833, in 1836 he was recalled back to Sankt Petersburg where he joined the State Control Council. He died in 1840. Peter Kropotkin was his grandson, through his daughter Ekaterina Nikolaevna Sulima.

Charles Moscowitz: Is Obama Like Hitler?
Before the Holocaust in which Hitler was responsible for the murder of six million Jews, before the concentration camps and the crematoria, before the incalculable death and destruction caused by World War II which Hitler initiated, before the racist and anti-Semitic laws that led to Kristalnacht, before the launching by Hitler of the German totalitarian Nazi State that conquered most of Europe, Hitler was viewed by most of the world as just another secular socialist.
In fact, a decade before he had assumed power after a peaceful election, Hitler had already seen how his socialist ideological cousins in Russia, Lenin and Stalin, had liquidated millions of their own precieved enemies with nary a mention from the New York Times or much notice from the world's liberal elite. In fact, Lenin and Stalin were hailed by many liberals back then as "progressive" and still are in some quarters.
No, Barack Obama is not like Hitler in that he would never initiate any of the above and no, Obama is not a racist or an anti-Semite but his opponent for the presidency, Senator John McCain, has now accuratly called him a Socialist. And even though Obama is not like Hitler in the real sense, their are nevertheless certain distinct similarities between the two in terms of style and an approach to socialism in general and these factors have been alien to American politics and culture until now. Obama's campaign and personality posesses a more than subtle whiff of fascism.
Examples abound. Hitler held massive rallies that employed various forms of sensory enhancements such as bonfires, strobelights, music, and hypnotic styles of speech that seemed to cause a mass trance according to many eyewitnesses at the time. Obama seems to have a similar effect on the unprecedented crowds who flock to his public speeches and who appear to be in an almost trance-like state. Hitler promised to change the world, to create a new social order and to go after the allegedly wealthy Jews who he claimed were responsible for the suffering of the average German. Obama employs some of the same utopian us against them rhetoric when he talks about taxing the rich.
Hitler created a Gestapo, a national police force that would crack down on a dis-armed and defenceless population at will. In a speech he delivered at Colorado Springs on July 2, 2008, Obama called for a national police force. In that speech he said: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Hitler rose to power with the help of several disreputable men who shared his socialistic outlook and worldview. Obama was aided up the ratline by the racist and anti-Semitic Reverend Wright, the terrorist William Ayers and the corrupt convicted Chicago criminal Tony Rezko among others.
Hitler used the excuse of the Reichtag fire, in which the German Parleament was burned about a month after he came to power, to suspend the German constitution and to declare Martial Law. Obama's Vice presidential nominee Sen. Joe Biden has made dark references to an impending international incident that will test Obama six months after he becomes president. Biden said: "Watch. We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. And he's going to need help . . . it's not going to be apparent that we're right."
Like the socialistic Nazis and Communists before him, Obama is a hyper-nationalist. He believes that, with an "enlightened" leadership, the State can change society and therefore the State has a right to "spread the wealth" around. In other words, the state has a moral claim to decide how to dispose of the proprerty of the private citizen through confiscatory taxation.
Obama is like a hologram, a light that eminates from an unknown location and then creates a beautiful illusion. Since so little is actually known about him, and this apparently even includes exactly where he was born, the average citizen, having been convinced that life is so miserable that some sort of a change is needed, will project their own beliefs and values onto the tabula rasa that is Obama. Never before has this society allowed such a demogogue to get so close to the presidency.

Indian Pastor Shot Dead Outside Church; Security Footage Captures Murder (VIDEO)

Relatives of a Christian pastor who was shot dead by two youths on a motorcycle have taken to the streets alongside hundreds of other believers to demand a response from officials in the city of Ludhiana in India.
NDTV reported on Sunday that 50-year-old pastor Sultan Masih was shot dead by two armed youths on a motorcycle who covered their face as he was standing outside his Temple of God Church.
Masih, who was hit by multiple bullets, was rushed to the DMC Hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
Police have said that they are reviewing security footage, which has been posted online, and may have a lead on the assailants.
"We cannot rule out the terror angle. Further investigations are underway," said Police Commissioner RN Dhoke.
"We have collected CCTV footage from the area. There are some leads on the bike-borne assailants. We are trying to identify their entry and exit routes."
Tribune News Service reported on Sunday that relatives of the victim, alongside hundreds of members of the Christian community, blocked a local highway for hours, demanding that officials do all they can to bring justice for the pastor.
Dhoke also reportedly held a meeting with a number of Christian leaders from groups such as Christian United Federation, and other church priests, in order to ensure peace in the community is maintained.
Christians have been protesting for weeks across several Indian cities against violence committed by Hindu radicals.
Followers of Christ have been beaten for attending church services on a number of occasions in recent years, often accused of trying to forcefully convert Hindus.
Wilson Chowdhry, chairman of the British Asian Christian Association, created a petition calling for an end to the "increased animosity" toward Christians under the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"This unprovoked attack on a Christian Pastor before many members of his congregation is an attack on religious freedom. It resonates with the hatred Christians face on a daily basis in a nation that is becoming increasingly polarized under Modi's government. Pastor Sultan Masih's name is added to a growing list of Christian martyrs across the globe and I will be praying for succor for his family and friends," Chowdhry said in a statement.
"Increasing attacks on Christians in India are a cause for international concern, yet since ending the 10 year diplomatic boycott of Narendra Mohdi in 2012, Britain has forged strong diplomatic ties with hm fermenting an unwillingness to condemn the known human rights atrocities under his regime."
Chowdhry further warned that Western nations choosing to base international diplomacy with India on financial grounds is doing little to stop hatred against non-Hindus in the country.
"Ominously this means assassinations of innocent Christian pastors in India are set to rise," he said.
The security footage depicting the pastor's murder can be viewed below:

Vote count begins in Kenyan polls
August 9, 2017 Written by Admin
Vote counting has begun in the tightly-contested Kenyan election, with incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta and challenger Raila Odinga in a neck-and-neck race.
Both candidates are chasing a defining victory: for Kenyatta, it would be his second and last term as president, while perennial challenger Odinga is hoping to occupy State House for the first time. For Odinga, age 72, this is probably his last campaign.
Polling stations opened at 6am, although some voters were already queuing as early as midnight – arriving before election officials even.
At some polling stations, the queues were still there when polls closed 12 hours later.
A new digital voting system failed to speed up the process. The much-vaunted fingerprint voter verification system failed in many cases, forcing presiding officers to allow voters to fill in a manual verification form before casting their votes.
The elections cost the taxpayers a whopping 45.5-billion Kenyan shillings (R5.9-billion).
Election officials had to deal with several unexpected issues.
One minor presidential candidate, Dr Ekuru Aukot, was stranded for hours at Nginyang Police station after heavy floods washed away a bridge that was the only access to his polling station. Aukot, who is running on the Third Way Alliance ticket, was expected to vote in Turkana East constituency but had not voted by early afternoon.
"It's unfortunate the tribulation one has to go through trying to go and cast a ballot," said Aukot.
Earlier in the day, 24 people were injured after agitated voters caused a stampede at Moi Avenue Primary School in Nairobi. Consulate Maina, vice-chair of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, said that the voters had queued long before the officials arrived. When the gates to the polling station were finally opened, at 5.45am, people were trampled on in a scramble to get to the front.
In Baringo, 800 voters in 11 polling stations had to be transferred to different polling stations due to security fears: the area is known for cattle rustling, and officials feared attacks.
Meanwhile, at Kuwit polling station, a woman had a stillbirth as she waited to cast her vote, forcing health care workers to rush her to a nearby health facility. In Konyau Mixed secondary school, a woman delivered a baby girl after queuing for three hours.
Initial results are expected to begin trickling in on Wednesday.
Both Kenyatta and Odinga expressed confidence in clinching the election, and have appealed to Kenyans to maintain peace as the vote counting and announcement of results continues.

At present, Android is one of the most popular operating system. Because there are thousands of tablets, smartphones equiped with it. Android system is amazing. But it also has some weak points. Today, this article i will share some video FAQ of Android devices with you.
1. Do android devices have file size limitation?
Many android users have problem to put a video file over 4G on their tablet, and some can put a 2G file on their tablet, while it can't be played. If you are more careful, when you connect your tablet to the computer, you may find the storage of the android tablet's system file format is FAT 32. That's to say, if single file size over 4GB, it won't be imported. Android devices support the storage of single files up to 4 GB and only play single video files smaller than 2GB.
2. Which is the best video format for Android devices?
According to my own experience, i feel like h.264 mp4 video is more friendly with android. This format works well on any android tablets or smatphones.

16 die as gunmen attack Mozambique police
AFP • 8 October 2017 8:48AM • 0 comments
MAPUTO - Suspected Islamists attacked a string of police stations in a small town in northern Mozambique killing two policemen but 14 of the gunmen were slain, police said on Saturday.
Police have been slow in releasing details of the attacks which occurred on Thursday and Friday in Mocimboa de Praia.
"We recorded 14 deaths and several bandits were wounded," police spokesperson Inacio Dina told AFP.
Police said the attacks were coordinated.
Local media said three police stations in the sleepy town, 80km from natural gas fields, were targeted.
At a news conference on Thursday, Dina suggested the attackers were linked to a homegrown "radical Islamic sect" but gave no details.
Police have so far arrested 10 other gunmen, recovered four firearms and more than 100 rounds of ammunition.
"The motive of the attacks is still unknown but in the past police arrested some religious leaders of Islamic extremist sects," Dina said.
"The way they operated makes us believe that there is a structure behind the group," Dina told AFP, but ruled out any links "between the attackers and external forces".
"There is no evidence that they are members of Shabaab or Boko Haram. According to the information gathered, all those captured or killed are Mozambicans," said the police spokesperson speaking from the capital Maputo.
A local journalist suggested on social media that the attackers belonged to the virtually unknown group, Swalissuna, which has been in existence for about five years.
"They have specific grievances with the police and aimed the attack at them," tweeted journalist and private media owner Erik Charas.
The attacks lasted two days, until the police dispatched special forces from Pemba, 500km away.
Armed clashes and assassinations of politicians are not uncommon in Mozambique.
On-and-off clashes have occurred in recent years between government troops and armed militias loyal to opposition party and former rebel movement Renamo.
But a truce unilaterally declared by Renamo in December has been observed with only minor breaches.

Tucker On Buttigieg: Whining Is Power
Phillip Stucky Contributor
Fox News host Tucker Carlson asserted during his Wednesday monologue that South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is gaining in the polls because of his ability to whine about his life.
"In 2019, whining is power. Pete Buttigieg understands that," Carlson said. "Buttigieg may be the least oppressed person ever to run for president. Both of his parents were college professors. Buttigieg went to Harvard and then to Oxford as a Rhodes scholar. After that, he spent three years at McKinsey, that's where ruling-class drones learn the finer points of sucking up to corporate America. Buttigieg got an A in that class." (RELATED: Buttigieg: 'I Would Have Done Anything To Not Be Gay')
"The system has been extremely good to Pete Buttigieg. If he is a victim, then nobody is a victim and the term has no meaning," Carlson continued. "So how does Pete Buttigieg win his party's victimhood Olympics? Simple. With the Mike Pence story."
"Pence, you will remember," Carlson continued, "was the governor of Indiana back when Buttigieg became the mayor of South Bend. As Buttigieg has suggested recently, this set the two of them on a collision course. Pete Buttigieg is gay, Pence is a traditional Christian, meaning he pines for the social structure of the 12th century and, above all, hates gay people passionately."
The mayor also emerged as a Christian foil to the Trump administration, taking turns to criticize President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence for their actions. He described as hypocrites the evangelical Christians who support the president despite his past sexual behavior.
"Mayor Pete" announced his candidacy in January and has made news criticizing Trump's religion before. He called Pence the "cheerleader for the porn-star presidency" during a CNN town hall last month.
"I'm reluctant to comment on another person's faith, but I would say it is hard to look at this president's actions and believe that they're the actions of somebody who believes in God," Buttigieg told Kirsten Powers, according to an op-ed in USA Today.
Regardless of whether the feud is real, it appears to be working. CNN analyst Harry Enten argued that the mayor's recent rise to 9% in the polls has a lot to do with his stance on Pence.
"I think the polls are indicative that Mayor Pete has a good shot at the electorate. Democratic voters are in favor of same-sex marriage and the fact is Mike Pence is not well-liked among the Democratic electorate. I would say this has been a smart move by the mayor of South Bend and it is showing up in the numbers so far," Enten said during his analysis.

Upcoming Hulu App Interface Changes Aim to Simplify Navigation and Aid Discoverability
Thursday January 10, 2019 3:20 AM PST by Tim Hardwick
Hulu is about to update its streaming app to make it easier to navigate and discover new content, according to TechCrunch.
The big change coming in the next few weeks will be to the Hulu Lineup screen that users see when the app is launched.
Hulu wants to trial two different variations to see which one has the most engagement: a "Hulu Picks" collection that will be curated by staff, and an "Unwatched in My Stuff" option that will show users things in their list that they've yet to watch.
Hulu told TechCrunch it will test both options with a portion of users in the coming weeks in order to determine which one sees the best response.
Elsewhere, other upcoming changes will include enabling users to view content while they search the thumbnail interface for something to watch.
Subscribers can also expect a larger, more prominent "Details" button on content within collections like Kids, News, and Sports. More metadata will be available, too, including things like genre, rating, and release year.
In addition, the Details button is set to feature quick user actions such as playing the next episode in a series, adding items to "My Stuff," and other show-specific settings.
When browsing the Live TV channel guide, users will be able to view two weeks ahead, rather than just what's on now and next. In general, users will also see a refreshed palette for the interface, including background artwork and movie posters.

That's good news. Hulu IMO has the worst UI of all streaming services
Their's has to be the worst UI--follows all of the tenants of "It doesn't have to work, it just has to look good." Not to mention the stability of their service is ****--my favorite being when the stream playback is fine, but it crashes on one of their ad spots.
supremedesigner
I hope the new UI will be better. I wondered if they hired the whole new designer team?
I've been close to cancelling my Hulu subscription because it's so hard to find things in their "unique" UI.
So what should be a pleasant, relaxing activity (watching TV) becomes a stressful activity to be avoided.
squirrelist
So so glad to hear this. And the screenshots look like they addressed my two biggest problems with the UI:
Going back to a grid. I hate that right now it's swipe, see what's on the screen, swipe, see what's on the next screen.
And making it easy to understand what is selected with a highlight or bold. The current overlining is so confusing. Who overlines?

Surround sound / 5.1 from Apple TV yet? No. Making the interface more usable is important (was the dumbest interface out there) - but totally non-competitive with Amazon Prime and Netflix by only streaming basic stereo sound. Pretty pitiful.

The War of the Hyphens
By Richard Fernandez 2017-08-12T19:41:07
The riots in Charlottesville reflect the breakdown of the Narrative, which has been the subject of several past posts. What happened on the street has been a long time coming on the Internet. The bonds of trust are breaking down. Reputation and authority are no longer recognized outside of a membership group. The personal, already political, finally became commercial. Some companies have flatly refused to serve those whose views they disapprove of. Political views are becoming conditions of employment. Some national political leaders are proposing explicit "litmus tests" to sort people according to virtue.
Now cars are ramming into people.
The riots and death in Charlottesville are the physical manifestation of the idea of separateness. If the thought is the father of the deed, the children of hate, the offspring of "by any means necessary" and the scions of superiority so long in gestation, are finally being born. Donald Trump's plea for calm and his exhortation to remember "we are all Americans first" may find scant resonance among those for whom hyphens come first of all. The war of the hyphens has broken out, and for its combatants there is only one thought: how do I get back at the enemy hyphen? The long sought-after goal of diversity has been attained and it is not what many imagined.
President Trump denounced the riots in Charlottesville, Va., Saturday afternoon saying, "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides...many sides."
"We must love each other, respect each other and cherish our history and our future together," the president said in remarks before signing the Veterans Affairs Act in Bedminster, New Jersey.
"What is vital now is a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives," Trump said. "No citizen should ever fear for their safety and security in our society."
"No matter our color, creed, religion, or political party, we are all Americans first. We love our country, we love our God, we love our flag, we're proud of our country. We're proud of who we are," said the president.
"We want to get the situation straightened out" he declared, adding that it's important to "study it" to determine "what we're doing wrong as a country."
Hopefully it isn't too late for reconciliation but there is every chance that resentment will intensify. Human history suggests that conflict like entropy, grows faster than understanding. It is harder to unscramble an egg than to scramble it. The process of division may grow until the resentments which drive the hyphens apart are finally overcome by the attractions of cooperation and commerce. That day has not yet returned. Until then division will spread and spread.
One of the recurring themes of recent Belmont Club posts is that complexity has raised the costs of a hyphenated society to such a degree that individuals are hiding behind the interfaces of group identity. The Narrative led people to the cliff -- and they refused to jump. When public policy itself turns public life into a kind of zero-sum competition for resources and legitimacy, they may feel obliged to join gangs to get a slice of the pie. We are in a self-made political prison and the hyphens have become our prison bars. This is tragic, but if it is inevitable at least the opportunities in promoting inter-gang trade, cooperation and negotiation in our newly fragmented world should be pursued to the fullest.
For if people will not "love each other, respect each other and cherish our history and our future together" they can at least do business. The Red and the Blue (and all the shades in between) may go their separate ways but it remains in their mutual interest to cooperate against common threats, respect the "full faith and credit" of each other's institutions, and exchange goods and services. In many surprising respects the future may resemble the pre-Federal past. It will be a simplified (as opposed to simpler) world where people live in "safe spaces" and deal with the Other through borders.
But may also be a world without the Pax Americana -- or a Pax Sinica either. The identity politics on display in Charlottesville has long been dissolving bonds in Europe, the Middle East -- even on the borders of China and Russia. The acid came to America relatively late but it is at work everywhere. The question may no longer be "how can we return to the old Global system" so much as can we survive in a world new-built on hyphens.

The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency , by Chris Whipple. The book offers an essential portrait of the toughest job in Washington. Through extensive, intimate interviews with all seventeen living chiefs and two former presidents, Whipple pulls back the curtain on this unique fraternity and revises our understanding of presidential history.
The End of Greatness: Why America Can't Have (and Doesn't Want) Another Great President, by David Aaron Miller. The book explores the concept of greatness in the presidency and the ways in which it has become both essential and detrimental to America and its politics. Miller argues that greatness in presidents is a much overrated virtue, too rare to be relevant in the country's current politics and, driven as it is by nation-encumbering crisis, too dangerous to be desirable. The preoccupation with greatness consistently inflates people's expectations, skews the debate over presidential performance, and drives presidents to misjudge their own times and capacity. The book helps readers understand how greatness in the presidency was achieved, why it's gone, and how they can better come to appreciate the presidents they have, rather than being consumed with the ones they want.
The Pragmatic Superpower: Winning the Cold War in the Middle East, by Ray Takeyh and Steven Simon. Foreign policy experts Takeyh and Simon reframe the legacy of US involvement in the Arab world from 1945 to 1991 and shed new light on the makings of the contemporary Middle East. Cutting against conventional wisdom, they argue that, when an inexperienced Washington entered the turbulent world of Middle Eastern politics, it succeeded through hardheaded pragmatism, and secured its place as a global superpower. Amid the chaotic conditions of the twenty-first century, they believe that there is an urgent need to look back to a period when the US got it right.

The two guys who set out to travel the world under $10,000 USD are not looking like they are going to make it all around the world on their current funds... or are they?
You no doubt have noticed that our "In the Bank" amounts are getting lower than they ought to after only three months and some days after the start of our journey.
Here's a few reasons why our shoestring budget just got more shoe stringy.
We had to buy all the rest of our plane tickets for the next 9 months of our journey all at once just to enter New Zealand.
We bought a car in New Zealand (so we'll get that money back when we sell it before leaving for Australia).
We went skydiving. Something people on $15/a day budgets shouldn't do.
Transportation in New Zealand is expensive. Between a ferry to the south island, a plane ticket back up to the north island and gas for our car, that's a crapload of money.
And we haven't even gotten to Europe yet.
Now, in defense of #3 - if you're going to travel to the biggest cookie in the world and it costs $2 to take a bite, but that's $2 out of your budget for that day so you don't eat you some, I think you've missed out big-time. William and I will occasionally splurge on adventures like these as long as it doesn't keep us from traveling for the whole year.
I think after three months it's safe to say, the original $10,000 plan is not going to work. BUT! There is still hope. We're still traveling the world more cheaply than most people ever imagined.
So what are we going to do to make it another 9 months? Simple. Work.
I've been doing some freelance web development work and William is applying for a work visa in Australia.
So we're still going to make it all around the world (heck, we've got all the plane tickets now anyways) and we're still going to do it on an impossible budget - just not as impossible as the original budget.
One reason to avoid Western Countries, I have traveled the Middle East since November 2007 and a person can get by under 10,000 for the year. This one blogger spent $6,000 in two months traveling New Zealand and Australia.
They don't mess with everyone at the airport like they did with you guys, I would have told them to fly a kite or send me back under their expense.
Here are two Americans also in New Zealand at this time @ http://nomadbackpackers.com, it would be interesting if you would run into them, they also bought a car and are working at a hotel, they got work visas.
What are you plans after NZ & Australia??
Head for Thailand & SE Asia(Cambodia, Vietnam & Laos) ...it's cheaper there & the $$ goes much further & the food is great.
@Ryan: haha! No - I will try to take over the local White Castle!
@Shawn: True! Yeah, we've heard quite a lot about Woofing. We'll probably be checking that out when we get to Australia. And thanks for the link to the other backpackers, I've contacted them and we're going to try and meet up somewhere.
Hi Guys, great adventure. FYI - you should have made friends with an airline employee before you started out. There's nothing like flying for free. It's a good combo with CS.


A story told by the Aborigines of Australia tells of a human child born with twisted limbs, who yearned for release from pain. The elders of her clan prayed to the spirit world all night, and in the morning she was transformed into a beautiful parrot, a Rainbow Lorikeet. Thus she became a vivid symbol of the human potential to transform pain and ugliness into beauty with the power of spirits.
I would like for my art to be like this legendary lorikeet.

PHPNW is one of the largest PHP Conferences in the UK alongside PHPUK in London and PHPNE in Newcastle.
We gain a large amount of kudos through the recognition of our efforts for the PHP Community. This enables Magma Digital to further reach our audiences through our various social media channels. Many of you may wonder how reaching out to more Developers may benefit us? Well, Magma Digital have recently embarked on a significant growth plan, where we have been on the lookout for talented PHP Web Developers to join our team. Many of our followers on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ have shared our jobs with their followers which has enabled us to reach our target audience by doing nothing more than putting the time into creating the social messages.
As one of the least 'geeky' people within Magma, I often find myself getting excited by the results of our social media communications to the point that many of the Developers in the office have labelled me as 'Data Nerd'. To ensure you really see the return you're getting from your social communication, track anything and everything possible. At Magma, we use the URL shortener bit.ly to shorten our links (less characters, yay!) but this also enables us to track the amount of shares and clicks for any particular link.
When we first embarked on our growth plan, we needed more developers and created the 'Magma Hiring' bit.ly link. The first broadcast of this link over social media saw a return of over 200 clicks in the first two days. Over the last two years we have used this link for all our job advertisements and have seen over 2,000 clicks. There are a number of ways to check the statistics of a specific link, the first which I find the most simple is to add a + sign to the end of your bit.ly link. So in this example it would be http://bit.ly/magma_hiring+.
Since we began to use the bit.ly hiring link in December 2011, we have recruited nine new developers most of which have come from our social media. In addition to the recruitment success, we have seen several recommendations to adopt projects that have come from other developers within the PHP Community.
We believe that supporting the communities we are involved in by giving a helping hand, has enabled us to make Community count! Our communities have seen the effort we put into making the web a better place and consequently they want to do their bit to help us out.
When you're engaging on social media don't forget that if you help people, they are more inclined to want to return the favour when you need it!

Civic Seminars at the UN Office in Armenia for the YES 2015-2016 Project Beneficiaries
On October 28, 2015 the debate club members of the YES project from Sisian, Kapan cities and the villages of Shaqi and Brnakot visited the United Nations Office in Armenia. This was their first visit to the UN Armenia. Hasmik Sargsyan, the Outreach Officer of the UN Department of Public Information gave a brief review on UN activities and presented the history of the United Nations Office in Armenia. Schoolchildren were attentively listening to the projects that had been implemented since December 1992 in Armenia. Armenia was admitted to the United Nations on 2 March 1992, and on December of that year the United Nations established an office in Yerevan. Since then Armenia has signed and ratified a number of international treaties. The UN Country Team is headed by UN Resident Coordinator and consists of 15 specialized agencies, funds and programs. The latter implement projects that have objectives of halving extreme poverty, halting the spread of HIV/AIDS, reducing the level of poverty and gender-based violence, decreasing the maternal mortality, as well as promotion of the establishment of inclusive and child-friendly schools throughout Armenia.

At the beginning Gohar Avagyan, the National Public Information Officer of OSCE Office in Yerevan presented the general activities of the OSCE. Participants were listening very attentively and watched films about the OSCE mission, activities and projects.

Therrien curiously notes he knows where Brassard's injury is
By Joe YerdonMay 24, 2014, 3:58 PM EDT
Derick Brassard said he's going to play in Game 4 for the New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens coach Michel Therrien took note of that in a most peculiar way.
While speaking with the French media following practice on Saturday, Therrien said he expected Brassard to play and, as TVASports' Renaud Lavoie shared, they might know a bit more about what kept him out of the lineup for Games 2 and 3.
#canadiens Michel Therrien in french:"we expect Derick Brassard to play and we know exactly where he's injured. Hockey is a small world."
— Renaud Lavoie (@renlavoietva) May 24, 2014
Knowing a guy is playing hurt is one thing, but knowing exactly where he's hurt and fessing up to that is a little… Strange. It's also not the first time Therrien has confessed this brand of knowledge.
During Montreal's four-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Ondrej Palat's return to the Lightning lineup saw Therrien say something similar about know where Palat's injury was.
Therrien said same thing about Ondrej Palat in the 1st rd, that #Habs knew where he was injured. He wasn't even asked about Brassard today.
— Аrpon Basu (@ArponBasu) May 24, 2014
It's nothing other than something curious to note, but with how hot the tempers in this series have become it's something to mark down.

Does The Chevrolet SS Pick Up Where The E39 BMW M5 Left Off?
by Sean Szymkowski
— Mar 12, 2015
We're not sure if this is either the greatest compliment to General Motors, and subsequently Holden, or an insult to BMW. A posh Bavarian masterpiece pitted against a blue-collar Chevy? Blasphemy!
Well, it happened. Road & Track took notice of the Chevrolet SS' new no-cost option to equip a six-speed manual, 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 and the fact power is being sent to the rear (read: correct) wheels. Similarly, between 1998 and 2003, BMW already had this formula down. Arguably in a better way than it does now.
When the E39 5-series arrived on scene, there must have been something in the water at HQ. A special kind of touch was bestowed upon this era of BMW, and when the fellas at Bimmer decided to hand over the 5-series to the masterminds at the M tuning division, it was bliss. Like the SS, a V8 is also employed here, a 4.9-liter to be exact, a manual gearbox was in place and power also went to the rear (read again: correct) wheels.
R&T sums the 2003 M5 up best saying, "With the exception of the old navigation system, this M5 could go into production today, and it would blow everyone's mind." It's that good.
Though, while BMW was busy toying with new ways to make the M5, to be kind, different, there was a manufacturer at the corner of the globe who was benchmarking the E39 5-series. Holden gathered up its engineering department, and even a few who had a hand in crafting the M5, along with Holden chassis tuner Peter Hanenberger and wah-lah! The VF Holden Commodore was born.
Fortunately, Mark Reuss, GM executive vice president, ensured those of us stateside received the VF Commodore. Slap a bowtie on, and there you have it.
Everyone already knows how fantastic the M5 performs, but when the SS steps in, it begins to create the same grin R&T experienced while piloting the M5. The Chevrolet SS begins to make the difference between a fast four-door and a four-door sports sedan.
With a special place in the hearts of R&T it simply wasn't enough to warrant the dethroning of the E39 M5. But the cars have more in common than you think. Both see the end of an era. Australian manufacturing will cease the rear-wheel Commodore and the smiles it brings with it. When BMW introduced the E60 M5 it never struck the same tone the E39 resonated.
That's okay, though. Some things can't last forever. But they can remind us how blatantly brilliant it is when someone decides to build a car that's about more than point A and point B.

Christopher Price says:
Fear not, because Hyundai is prepared to pick up the torch with the next Genesis. And Dodge will do the same with the LA platform on the tail end of the decade.
The only sad thing here is that GM could offer an affordable Alpha sedan with I4, V6, and V8 options… and doesn't.
Stephen Marcus says:
Malibu should be elimated in the States with three similar sized Impala taking its place and an Alpha or Omega acting as Chevy large flag ship.
The new Malibu and Impala will be as seperated but by a few inches and the segments are destined to merge.
That's taking it a bit too far. But an E2XX Malibu and an Alpha Impala is not a bad way to right the rudders… at least, at this point.
This is a pretty good article. The E39 M5 truly was an engineering gem in its day, setting BMW as the performance standard of the world. It's also awesome to see the Commodore/SS following in the footsteps of the E39. Which makes it even more depressing to see such a wonderful car become what it will in the near future. I guess part of the blame rests on the consumers, since the masses are simply not buying such awesome vehicles. Instead buying the mainstream turbocharged econoboxes flooding the streets…….. I wish the current Impala was based on the Commodore, like it was originally intended to be in the first place. Oh well….. Circumstances have forced this on GM.
scott3 says:
Let things work out here and lets just see what develops.
In an automaker you can not just do all models and projects at one time. Also some things have to happen first before others can take place.
The key to GM's future is not the things you do know they are the thing you have yet to learn.
This is not GM of ten years ago that told you their moves 7 years ahead. Like the Bolt there are more things to come our of no where just 18 moths to 24 months before release.

The J.P Morgan mentoring session was a success. From meeting the professionals, to having a tour of the trading floor. It was very motivational; especially to see so many people of African/Caribbean descent working in J.P Morgan, in such a prestigious and world-renowned company in the heart of the very competitive and world-class city of Canary Wharf. What more could an ambitious and self-motivated young person ask for? The extensive efforts of BOLD, ACES Aspire and J.P Morgan was clearly portrayed on this fantastic event, to empower young people of African descent and make sure that we end up as leaders. The inspirational stories from some of the J.P Morgan staff and even the one-to-one mentoring was refreshing. Overall, a great and informative event and I will most certainly be looking forward for the next event, all suited and booted!
