You know a music video is gonna be epic when you have to release a trailer for it, am I right?
And Ariana Grande has done just that.
Following her break-up with Pete Davidson, the God is a Woman singer released the track Thank U, Next in a more than thinly-veiled dig at her ex.
Ariana has been releasing snapshots of the filming of the song's music video which we already know will feature references to classic films like Mean Girls, 13 Going on 30, and Legally Blonde.
The trailer features appearances by fellow singer Troye Sivan and Mean Girls star Jonathan Bennett.

This Trademark watch service is conducted by expert and skilled analytics team of trademark attorneys to cater the client in enforcing their rights by filing opposition, which helps in preventing grant of a Trademark application in pendency through an administrative proceeding before Trademark examiner. The basic principle lying under the opposition proceeding is that the party believes that a damage may be caused to him if the application of registration of the mark is allowed. Often the opposition proceedings is triggered when an application for trademark is published in the government journal of the trademark office and is in public domain. Once the trademark application which amounts to damage to our clients trademark is published then it initiates the opposition proceedings.

We substantiate our grounds of opposition with enough evidences and case laws laid down by the Court of Law. We try to bring out the legal principles based on which the opposition grounds rely.
The publication of the trademark application in the official gazette of the trademark registry initiates the proceedings of opposition. Then next step is notice of opposition is filed before the expiry of the prescribed period to the trademark registry.
The Notice should clearly state the grounds on which the opposition application is filed, along with name of the opposing party, rights or interest of the opposing party in the trademark in question and damages to the opposing party if the mark is allowed. Once the notice of opposition is filed then the applicant has to answer or file a response to the notice of opposition or give his defenses within a stipulated time as prescribed by Indian Trademark act.
There is an examination of the same and if response is not satisfactory for the registry then there is a hearing before the registry and the final verdict is given based on arguments and evidences. The remedy available in an opposition proceeding is the refusal or partial refusal to register a trademark. An appeal can be made by the losing party at IPAB, and in furtherance to High Court. We also support our client in such an appeal.
We at Patracode are also experienced in filing response to opposition proceeding. Our trademark attorneys prepare a response based on legal arguments, evidences of authorized use or applicant of trademark application. A lot of research is put into substantiating our arguments and an immense effort is made to collect evidences to support the response.

Q: NodeJS callbacks and forloops So I'm working on a text-game-thingy when I realize that I'm getting an error every once-in-a-while (~1/100 refreshes) when leaving the game. I have a basic object holding properties containing a player object. I also have a 'textCooldown' property in my player object (to stop you from spamming), and a 'setInterval' function to reduce this property's value every x seconds that looks, for all intensive purposes, like this:
setInterval(function() {
  for(var p in PLAYER_LIST) {
    var player = PLAYER_LIST[p];
    player.textCooldown -= 0.1;
  }
}, 100);

I also have a function that gets called whenever the client disconnects, which deletes that property inside PLAYER_LIST. The problem is, every once in a while when a client disconnects the server is still calling the 'for' loop (which tells me NodeJS is multithreaded in at least some aspects) and tries to change the property 'textCooldown' of an undefined object.
How can I fix this problem without putting if(typeof player != 'undefined' everywhere? Is there any way I can implement callbacks into this seemingly synchronous task?

All of us on here thought they were a bad idea the moment they were announced.
I can recall us just doing the payslip numbers for the crew of the main carrier. Far in excess of MOD budget. That was without the training crews of the second one and all the support ships required to put to sea. And it was signed up to in the middle of the financial crash.
When only a brooding, one eyed, lumpen moron would have thought that a sensible use of about yo become extra scarce resoursces.
I think at the time we agreed the Navy was delighted. But also knew it would get a severe kick in the funding further down the line.
Carriers are very useful. Better than armour, which has no role outside of war.
But all along every armchair admiral asked, why not More of a helicopter carrier ? Those helicopters would be damned handy in Afghanistan or Iraq if there were no naval wars going on.
And very useful for the sort of non military work the rum drinkers usually do. Anti piracy. Immigration med rescue. Surveillance. Humanitarian aid. Disaster relief.
But larger than a support ship. So 4-6 vtol fighters could be loaded on? Have " some" air superiority capability.
Or get one for helicopters and one for planes?
But none of us thought two large carriers were a viable proposition without USA style commitments to defence spending.
Leaky stern gland is no great problem and 200l / hr is a bare dribble for shaft tunnels that size. All my new stern glands used to leak until they'd had a few million shaft revs and a retightening.

[fingertipsmusic] December 1: Shannon Curtis (x2), Opus Kink
From: Jeremy Schlosberg <fingertipsmusic@xxxxxxxxx>
To: fingertipsmusic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
*I've got a first for you this month: two of the three songs come from the
same album, by the same artist. I explain more fully in the blurbs, but I
have to say, I like the flexibility it gives me moving forward, especially
in these days of diminishing download availability. I do hope you check out
the Shannon Curtis album--it's a real treat.*

"Take It If You Want It" – Shannon Curtis
<https://fingertips-free-legal-mp3s.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/Shannon_Curtis-Take_It_If_You_Want_It.mp3>
A crystalline, synth-driven call to inner action, "Take It If You Want It"
stares down the existential mayhem of our 21st-century world and attempts
to find a place and a way to live in it regardless. The song's superpower
is the glistening deftness of the presentation: the '80s-inspired
arrangement is tight and inventive (don't miss the acrobatic bass line),
the lyrics are precise and sincere without being dogmatic, and Curtis's
voice is rich, expressive, and disciplined. The overall vibe is heartfelt
and sophisticated; if Kate Bush were interested in writing a catchy pop
song that wrestles with spiritual precepts, it might sound something like
In any case it is certainly a Bushian vocal that, after a brief percussive
intro, opens the song with echoey urgency. Curtis has an effortless melodic
flair; from the opening lines of the verse the ear is hooked, and the song
progresses through its interrelated parts–verse, pre-chorus, chorus–with a
enviable sense of inevitability. Not all the lyrics will be immediately
legible but, as with the most well-crafted songs, certain phrases will pop;
one particularly indelible couplet is unambiguous: "The fascists are
ascending/Disaster is impending." A close listen reveals this as a voice in
the head that the narrator is attempting to grapple with. I'd say a lot of
us are grappling with that voice here at the end of 2022.
Born in California and based in Tacoma, Washington, Shannon Curtis is a
singer/songwriter with a rich catalog to explore
<https://shannoncurtis.bandcamp.com/music>. *Good To Me* is her tenth
full-length release in the last 10 years, following three previous EPs and
an acoustic compilation album. "Take It If You Want It" is the opening
track on the album *Good To Me*, which is something of a concept album,
centering on an inner journey Curtis led herself on during the perilous,
pandemic-jostled year 2021. The album, by the way, will next year be
followed by a companion book, which Curtis describes as "a step-by-step
roadmap for cultivating personal peace and power in hard times." She notes
further that the songs on *Good to Me* came from her own process of working
with and through the steps described in the book. More on the album in the
follow-up review, below. (Yes, this month I'm giving you two songs from the
same album, with one palate cleanser in between. Keep reading!)

"Dog Stay Down" – Opus Kink
<https://fingertips-free-legal-mp3s.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/Opus_Kink-Dog_Stay_Down.mp3>
Under certain ineffable conditions I become a bit of a sucker for
speak-singing in a rock'n'roll context (Cake perhaps my favorite example),
and this one seems to hit the right buttons for me, general veneer of
offbeat frenzy notwithstanding (or maybe because of it; hard to say). In
any case there is no ignoring the sense of frantic drama that suffuses "Dog
Stay Down": from the wordless guttural chants in the introduction through
the deft if semi-feverish vocal stylings of Angus Rodgers and the splatty
horn charts, the song spools forward with an unhinged but somehow charming
panache that grows more appealing with each listen. Those last 20 seconds
introduce an extra level of loopy.
I have no idea what Rodgers is singing about, by the way, and it doesn't
remotely matter. Actually I'll go out on a limb and say that lyrics in
general tend to strike me as semi-irrelevant, in terms of their specific
denotation. My ears require vocals on the one hand (I'm not much of an
instrumental fan), but on the other hand I realize my enjoyment of words in
a rock song has more to do with the voice as sound and the words as rhythm
and texture than with what a singer is specifically saying. And here in
fact is one of my perennial problems with standard music writing: so many
reviews of albums focus so intently on lyrics that you'd almost never know
the words were actually being sung, and accompanied by melodies and
arrangements. More to the point, such writing tends to overlook the unique
power of music, ignoring what's most potent in the listener experience,
which at its core is about sound waves, not verbiage. Or so says me. In any
case, even were I able to discern all the words here, in "Dog Stay Down,"
which I can't (and at this point there's no looking them up online), I
really wouldn't want or need to. The cathartic vibe speaks for itself.
Opus Kink is a six-piece band from Brighton, England. "Dog Stay Down" is a
track from their debut EP, *'Til the Streams Run Dry*, which was released
in October.

"Good To Me" – Shannon Curtis
<https://fingertips-free-legal-mp3s.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/Shannon_Curtis-Good_to_Me.mp3>
In a new twist here on Fingertips I am this month featuring two songs from
the same artist. This strikes me as a win-win: it relieves me of the need
to select just one song from an album I really like, while also relieving
me of the need to lower my standards in order to find three MP3s to offer
in a given month. As recently noted, I'm sensing a decline in the
availability of free and legal downloads–at least, in the availability of
free and legal downloads that live up to my admittedly idiosyncratic
standards. I may use this strategy moving forward, as the situation allows,
in order to continue to offer at least three songs in any given update.
So yes, I really really like this new Shannon Curtis album, start to
finish. The sonic palette, shot through with '80s atmosphere (the good
kind!), is immediately engaging, and Curtis's prowess as a singer is
continually on display–she can go light and airy one moment, and reach
grainier middle tones at another. Reverb abounds but with ongoing
restraint; the music feels spacious without losing definition. And I am
impressed ongoingly by Curtis's songwriting chops–the effortless melodies
and artfully structured songs provide consistent delight, and reward
repeated listens. As for the album's cohesiveness lyrically, the songs
reward as much attention as you're willing to pay to them. For those who
want the deep deep dive, there will also be the companion book, as noted
above. (The book will initially be available to her community of supporting
members <https://misfitstars.com/>, and then released more widely next
year.) I applaud Curtis for the seriousness of her purpose and her
concurrent capacity to translate her journey into a series of such
accessible songs; and yet the beauty of the project is that you don't have
to engage with the details to be moved by the music.
"Good To Me" is the title track, and everything I've said about the album
overall applies here. I love the '80s synthesizers and big round
percussion, in particular for how mindfully and cleanly produced these
potentially over-the-top effects are employed; the song feels both large
and meditative at the same time. And from beginning to end, the songcraft
is exquisite, with verse and chorus melodies that interrelate and build on
each other, and resolve with aplomb. The album was jointly produced by
Curtis and her husband, Jamie Hill; Curtis is credited with the concept,
the arrangements, the programming, and the performance, Hill with the
synthesizers, sound design, and additional programming. This was a pandemic
project through and through, conceived of and created during a time when
Curtis, very active in recent years as a house-concert musician, was stuck
in her own house during the extended lockdown.
MP3s here courtesy of the artist herself. You can listen to the whole thing
on Bandcamp <https://shannoncurtis.bandcamp.com/album/good-to-me>, and buy
it there too, for a price of your own choosing. Be generous!
Don't be afraid of what you'll find
When all is quiet inside your mind....

Tomahawk is an American rock supergroup. They formed in 1999 when singer/keyboardist Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle) met guitar player Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard) and the pair started swapping tapes with the intention of collaborating. Denison then recruited drummer John Stanier (Helmet), while Patton invited bass player Kevin Rutmanis (Melvins/ex-Cows). The group recorded three albums and toured extensively from 2000–2007 then went on extended hiatus, and reformed in 2013 with Trevor Dunn replacing Rutmanis.

History

Early days (1999–2000)
When Faith No More broke up in 1998 Mike Patton created the record label Ipecac Recordings, returned to work with his other band Mr. Bungle, and formed the experimental metal supergroup Fantômas with Buzz Osborne of the Melvins and Dave Lombardo of Slayer. Patton met Duane Denison in 1999 at a Mr. Bungle concert in Nashville and the two began exchanging music and jamming.

Tomahawk (2001–2002)
During May and June 2001 the band recorded their eponymous debut album in Nashville. The album was released on October 30, 2001, it was produced by Joe Funderburk. After the release of Tomahawk the band began touring extensively, playing in many countries around the world, including the United States, Australia, Europe and Japan. They generally headlined shows but were the supporting act for bands such as Tool. When opening for Tool on their 2002 summer tour of North America, the band was frequently booed for insulting the crowds. Tomahawk also played at various festivals, including the 2002 Big Day Out festival in Australia.

Mit Gas (2003–2004)
Second album Mit Gas, recorded with producer Joe Barresi, was released in 2003. Tomahawk took part in the "Geek Tour" during 2003, which featured labelmates the Melvins and Fantômas.  During the band's early years they were known for dressing up as police officers in promotional photo shoots and during concerts. The band went on a short hiatus from 2004 to 2006 after finishing touring for Tomahawk and Mit Gas in late 2003 as the members began to focus on other projects.

Anonymous (2007–2008)
The band's third album, Anonymous, was released on June 19, 2007 through Ipecac Recordings. Kevin Rutmanis left the band during the recording; reasons for his departure are unknown. For the album, Denison and Stanier recorded their parts in Nashville, and then sent their finished product to San Francisco where Patton added his vocals and samples. No live shows were performed during this period. Tomahawk remained inactive from 2008 to 2011.

Oddfellows (2012–2014)
In July 2011, Mike Patton announced that Tomahawk was preparing to record its fourth album. In early 2012, Tomahawk announced that Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, John Zorn, MadLove, Trevor Dunn's Trio-Convulsant) would play bass for the band. On April 21, 2012 the band released Eponymous To Anonymous, a box set containing the band's first three records released on vinyl for the first time. In late 2012, the band began playing their first live shows since 2003. On December 3, 2012, a full-length video for first single, "Stone Letter", was posted online.  Oddfellows was released January 29, 2013. The band were scheduled to play in Mexico for the first time on March 21, 2014 but withdrew due to an illness. On April 9, 2014 the band announced they would be releasing two previously unreleased tracks from the Oddfellows recording session. The single, entitled M.E.A.T., was first released on May 23, 2014 on vinyl.

Tonic Immobility (2020–present)
In February 2020, Duane Denison revealed that Tomahawk had been writing and recording new record material. On January 21, 2021, a single called "Business Casual" was released, which also revealed the name of their upcoming fifth album as Tonic Immobility, which has later been released on March 26, 2021. Bassist Trevor Dunn remarked in 2021, "Me and Duane [Denison] and John [Stanier] recorded all of our parts for that record about four years ago actually. Duane had finished the music and I guess Mike was busy at the time, so John and I flew down to Nashville and recorded with Duane. Then over the years, we've just been waiting for Mike, and he's been doing other stuff so it took a while. I think the pandemic kind of helped spur it along because he was stuck at home, so he wrote the vocal melodies and the rest of the lyrics at his studio in San Francisco."

Musical style and influences
Critics have described the band's sound as alternative metal, alternative rock, avant-prog, progressive rock, and post-rock. In 2002, the band considered their genre to be "cinematic rock", since all members were fans of film soundtracks. Butch Lazorchak of the Boston Herald has compared the band's sound to 1970s hard rock groups such as Blue Öyster Cult.

The band's self-titled first album combines rock with elements of experimental music, country music, and hardcore; critic Blake Butler of Allmusic described their debut album as one of the most straightforward rock-oriented projects of Patton following his work with Faith No More, but he still notes their eclectic side stating that they are not a "mass-marketable band." Their second album Mit Gas features influences from metal as well as punk rock. The album also includes instrumental segues. The band's 2007 album Anonymous incorporates Native American music elements. Oddfellows features a more accessible sound which the band has labeled as "avant-pop". The record includes influences from jazz music.

Music videos
The band's first music video was for Rape This Day from Mit Gas, featuring a cameo from Queens of the Stone Age's Nick Oliveri. No official music videos were released for Anonymous. For the release of Oddfellows in 2013 the band made music videos for Stone Letter and the title-track. In August 2014, over a year after the release of Oddfellows, the band released a music video for South Paw. In addition to the band's four official music videos, there have also been a number of unofficial/fan-made videos.

Ever fancied owning a unique sculpture of the Master – and helping charity? Now's your chance!
Sculptor, James Burgess is renowned in Doctor Who convention circles for his brilliant cosplaying work and sculpts; his latest creation, Broton, has been making a number of appearances of late and featured in the latest edition of Doctor Who Magazine.
James has just created a beautiful sculpture of Roger Delgado as the Master. It's a little larger than life size and it's been cast in fibreglass. He's very generously donated this to me for auction on eBay, to raise money for Bedford Foodbank. I'm one of their volunteers; we're feeding 600 local children and adults every month.
Do please take a look at the sculpture; you can find it on my eBay shop here, or if that link's proving problematic, just enter the listing number 173308817385 into the eBay search bar, it'll take you there. We'd be hugely grateful for any bid you might care to make!
And finally: here's a photo of James as Broton with Sophie Aldred at Bedford Who Charity Con 4 last month. She's obviously letting Zygons be Zygons (hahaha, hohoho).
Colin Baker was at the convention, too; he said at the end of the afternoon, "This has been the best one day event I've ever done". A huge accolade.
I'm having T-shirts printed with this quotation on and shall flash them in fifty foot neon letters above my house.

I have thought a lot recently about my habits, what works, and why I decide (consciously or unconsciously) to stop doing the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy things that make my social anxiety just a bit better at the moment. When things are right, I tend to move away from things until it gets to the point where I am isolating myself and barely leaving my house. The funny thing is that everything in my life tends to go that way, I continue to go against what is the right thing to do to a point where I am spiraling. Then, and it seems only then do I finally pick myself up off the floor and try to recalibrate my life.
One of the best things I can do day in and day out is mindfulness breathing. It is easy and a straightforward thing to do. It is great to use when you need to refocus your daily routine when anxiety seems to take over control. Concentrating is an amazing and useful tool and one I have found works– and yet I don't always use it until my anxiety reaches new levels of anxiousness.
Recently, I started a list of things I wanted to add to my daily routine. Things that have gotten away from me as isolation begun to become a part of my life.
Begin to integrate my workout routine– again.
Meditate in the morning and in the afternoon.
Make plans to go out and have a cup of tea or coffee at my favorite coffee shop.
Focus on sleeping better through the night.
Restart my bi-weekly therapy appointments.
While these are great things and I am always a work in progress, there is so much more to do. I recently did the unthinkable. I drove past this bubble that I created in the city that I live in. Until recently I don't more than 10-15 miles from my house, but I drove on a trip almost 25 miles one way. I got stuck in traffic. It was touch-and-go for a bit, but I survived with some help from my Ativan and my work with CBT (mindfulness breathing). I did have some pre-anxiety feelings, but I approached it with CBT, and I survived.
I realize that isolation, while helpful to get back to my roots, is not the solution. Being out in the world and not being this awkwardly social person while I am in society doesn't have to be my future. I can continue to focus on what helps me get through my social anxiety outside my front door. The journey to conquering social anxiety has to start somewhere.
I want to end with this, to my readers, how did you go about ending isolation associated with anxiety?
Not too long ago (a few years back when I was in college and most of my childhood including high school) I was isolated from society mentally and when I could physically. If I found myself in a social environment I became mute. I completely shut down and wouldn't interact unless forced. Beyond that I stayed locked away in my room. My only willful social interaction was online and even that was sparse. Around my early twenties, I decided I had to make a change. The only problem was that I was awkward and socially inept. Just looking a person in the eyes while talking was a chore for me. I am not sure how I got passed all that other than I had a strong desire to become independent. My home life with my mother and her husband wasn't ideal, and I just wanted to get away from that. So I used that urge to be independent to force me out of my old habits. It wasn't easy, but I had a dream/goal that I just couldn't let die. I am thirty now, and I still suffer from anxiety and other mental illnesses. However, I am not that mute kid anymore. I can go places that make me uncomfortable, interview for jobs, and hold light conversations. The drive for independence still keeps me steadfast and through my failures I get better at socializing.
It's great to hear your story because it helps to feel less alone in the fight. I have always been socially awkward and it is so easy to just not socialize but I need a change. It will be a process.
I find it's cyclic as well…one of the things that helps me the most is having a close friend along, unfortunately this means I have a harder time doing things alone now. I'm working on getting that back now. One of the things is rarely backing out…once you back out of an event or even going to the grocery store it's too easy to back out again and again.
I know that feeling. It becomes one thing after another. You get trapped by the weight of backing out.
Ending my isolation associated with my anxiety is a pretty constant battle. That being said, becoming a yoga teacher, going out and physically sharing the practice that helped me, has helped with my isolation.
Allow me to clarify. I am passionate about it because it helps. I have classes I teach but I also have terrible anxiety which makes it difficult to even get to the studio sometimes. I am also very proud of my professionalism and not letting people down. So I must go to the studio you see. Then I get there with the students and begin to practice, I feel their amazing, sweet, positive, CALM energy, and I feel my anxiety start to slip away.
That is amazing. I am not sure I could do such a thing, but I have been asked a lot over the past two years by my therapist to lead group therapy. Maybe I can start with group and work my way up to leading.
Yes, I started small and personal. So, I taught a couple of friends. Then moved to a private client, then started really getting out there with people I did not know. I still have tough days of course.
As someone who suffers from anxiety, and works from home most of the time, I had to start making an effort to go into my college office even just once a week. Making coffee dates with colleagues really helped me too. It can and should be a slow process, don't rush yourself.
That is what I think is best. The slow approach. Things will happen with time. I conquered depression that way.
This is in the same vein as my Recalibrating blog. So, I thought I would share.
I'm not very good at keeping up with CBT practices either, even though I know they help. Maybe it is my attention deficit issues, that make it so easy for me to get distracted from anything and forget all about it.
I understand. I have been slack lately also and ended up with a bout of IBSD. I was not eating well. Not meditating. No doing anything I should. I am also going back to what works.
Isolating myself is something that I still struggle with. Social anxiety is something I haven't really even scratched the surface of yet, working on the manifestations of my GAD first. I am working on CBT…sadly I am still finding what works for me and what doesn't. And the discouragement is big right now.
It is a process because no two sufferers are the same. I wish CBT was a bit more straightforward but I am working on it too. I wish you luck.
Thanks for this, James! Isolation has been so tempting recently….. opposite to emotion action is crucial.

Q: Torque on a charged ring I have been studying electromagnetic induction. As I understand, a magnetic field will exert a force on a moving charge. What I would like to know is whether a changing magnetic field will exert a force on a stationary charge?
For example, consider a charged ring that is placed in a magnetic field. I know that if a current was flowing through this ring, the torque exerted by a magnetic field would be given by $I(\hat{A} \times \hat B)$. Where I is the current flowing in the circuit, $A$ is the area of the coil and $B$ is the magnetic field.
As I understand, a current is just a flow of charge, or in other words, changing charge. Thus, a changing magnetic field should exert a torque on a stationary charge. Is this right?

A:
What I would like to know is whether a changing magnetic field will
  exert a force on a stationary charge?

Yes, changing the magnetic field will exert a force on a stationary charge. The reason lies in Maxwell's Equations. Following is the 3rd Maxwell Equation, which talks about how time-varying magnetic field produces Non-Conservative Electric Field.

Now, since the time-varying magnetic field induced electric field and since electric fields exert a force on stationary charged particles, so it is confirmed that time-varying magnetic fields will exert a force on stationary charged particles.

A: Yes, it is right :)
A changing magnetic field is equivalent to an electrical field. That's what Maxwells equations say.
So a static charge will feel a force, and a collection of charges might feel a torque.

But actually, as pointed out by Feynman (this some decades old, but I have not heard, that it's deprecated), there are two conceptually different mechanisms, the connection of which we do not understand yet - it seems a coincidence.
I mean, the force $F_L$ of a magnetic field on a moving charge, and the force from a changing magnetic field on a static charge. Both lead to the rule, that the emf is equal to the derivative of the magnetic flux. But it seems, there are two distinct reasons for this rule, not obviously derivable one from the other.

9 Causes of Wrinkles—That Have Nothing to Do With Aging
There could be a whole host of dietary and lifestyle factors that are aging you prematurely.
By Eat This, Not That! Editors September 23, 2017
People usually associate crow's feet and laugh lines with getting older. After all, as your skin ages, it loses elasticity and can start to show wrinkles and fine lines.
But these physical signs of aging sometimes have nothing to do with aging at all. Other lifestyle and environmental factors can take a toll on your physical appearance, including a poor diet, lack of sleep, and chronic stress. It's not just your imagination; those wrinkles in the mirror could have more to do with your daily habits than you think. To turn back the clock, be sure to address these major causes of wrinkles, and avoid the foods that age you 20 years.
It should come as no surprise that the biggest culprit for wrinkles is exposure to the sun. Both UVA rays, which penetrate the skin's deepest layers, and UVB rays, which cause sunburn, can lead to premature aging and wrinkles. Not only does staying out of the sun (and out of tanning beds!) protect you from skin cancer, but it will also keep you looking young.
"The first and most common type [of skin wrinkling] is from chronic sun damage," Jerome Potozkin, MD, board-certified dermatologist, says. "Sun damage results in loss of collagen and elastin resulting in wrinkling of the skin." To protect your skin, be sure to wear at least an SPF 30 daily. When going out in the sun, especially if you'll be exposed to water, be sure to reapply your sunblock often and load up on these foods to prevent sunburn.
You may not think much about the environment that you live in, but it can play a major impact on those deep wrinkles and fine lines. "Pollution is another environmental factor- contributing to free radical damage," explains Maral K. Skelsey, MD, board-certified dermatologist and Director of the Dermatologic Surgery Center of Washington.
In fact, a 2010 study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that women who lived in urban settings had more wrinkles and age spots than those living in rural areas over a 24-year period. If you live in a heavily populated city, be sure to wash your face at night before bed to remove the pollution particles.
You know getting enough sleep is essential to help you feel your best and can even help you lose weight. But did you know it can also help your skin stay smooth? "Lack of sleep contributes [to wrinkles] because the pH of the skin is altered by not sleeping enough and that skin cells' ability to remain hydrated," Skelsey explains. "Additionally, it's during sleep that toxins are flushed from the body." Be sure to get the recommended 6-8 hours a night for maximum health benefits; it's called beauty sleep for a reason.
A busy work schedule or personal drama not only takes a toll on your mental and emotional well-being; it can affect you physically, too. "Stress increases cortisol levels which will reduce the skin's ability to hold moisture," Skelsey says. "Additionally elevated blood sugar damages the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. These are the critical support structures that keep skin from sagging and developing wrinkles." Try to find ways to de-stress, whether that's going for walks after dinner, hanging out with friends, or seeing a therapist.
You already know that sugar causes weight gain, especially in your belly; it's why readers have found so much success with the Zero Sugar Diet after eliminating it. But there's another reason to put down the sweets and the soda—they age your skin.
"Eating too much sugar will surely lead to premature aging. After sugar is ingested it goes through a process called glycation, which involves binding to different proteins in our bodies," Kristina Goldenberg, MD, board-certified dermatologist of Goldenberg Dermatology, explains. "Unfortunately, these proteins include collagen and elastin. By binding to these building blocks of the skin, sugar weakens collagen and elastin and will lead to an appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Glycation also produces toxic products that further cause premature aging."
For maximum health and beauty benefits, try cutting out sugar for two weeks. You'll have more energy, lose weight, and start to turn back the clock on fine lines and wrinkles.
If you've been wearing the same old pair of glasses for years and are desperately in need of a new prescription, you're not just hurting your eyes. "Squinting and other facial expressions are the result of muscle contraction. The more the muscles are used, the stronger they become," Goldenberg explains. "These muscle movements cause skin cells to be squeezed and wrinkles to form. Excessive squinting will, therefore, lead to deeper wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity." Visit your optometrist to get a proper prescription ASAP, and wear sunglasses whenever you're in the sun.
Drinking Out of a Straw
Sure, drinking darker liquids such as iced tea and cold brew out of a straw can protect your teeth from being stained, but it can also cause wrinkles to develop around your mouth. Similar to how squinting causes wrinkles around the eyes, drinking out of a straw creates fine lines on and around your lips. "Drinking out of a straw involves muscle contraction around the lips. If this is done repeatedly, the muscles will become stronger and wrinkles will become deeper and more apparent," Goldenberg explains.
Dry skin isn't just uncomfortable; it can add years onto your life. "Skin that is chronically dry is also more susceptible to wrinkles," Skelsey explains. "A dry environment can result in the skin losing some of its 'scaffolding' and succumbing to wrinkles."
Make sure you moisturize day and night, especially on your face. Investing in a nourishing under-eye cream is also a good idea since the skin underneath the eyes is thinner and more susceptible to fine lines.
This should come as no surprise: after the sun, smoking is one of the biggest culprits for wrinkles. Not only does the position of a cigarette in your mouth lead to fine lines, but the toxins from the cigarette itself can age your skin.
"Nicotine in cigarettes causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the skin, which leaves it more prone to wrinkling because vital nutrients cannot reach the epidermis," Skelsey explains. Plus, smoking is linked to lung cancer and cardiovascular disease. You've probably heard this before, but it bears repeating: quit smoking ASAP!

Section 80C investment options to save Income Tax: Only six days are left before the end of Financial Year 2018-19.
Section 80C investment options to save Income Tax: Only six days are left before the end of Financial Year 2018-19. If you are a salaried person with a taxable income, you may have already made sufficient investments that qualify for tax deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. However, if you have been sitting idle till now, there are still six days left for doing the same. As per the Income Tax rules, the deduction under section 80C is available to an Individual or a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF). The maximum deduction limit is Rs 1,50,000 in a financial year. The Income Tax Department says, "Taxpayer is eligible for deduction if contribution/deposits/investments/payment made during the previous year. Taxpayer should make investments/deposits out of his taxable income or otherwise."
You can make tax-saving fixed deposits in most of the scheduled commercial banks. These deposits have a lock-in period of five years and there is a maximum investment limit of 1.5 lakh in a financial year.
Senior Citizens Savings Scheme (SCSS) is open only to retirees aged 60 or above. If you are a senior citizen, you can benefit from the scheme. The deposits in SCSS can be made in the multiples of Rs 1000 but it shouldn't exceed Rs 15 lakh. However, only Rs 1.5 lakh of the invested amount will be eligible for 80C benefits.
PPF account is not just a tax saving scheme but also a sound investment option if you want to see your investment grow over a long-term period. You can deposit any amount between Rs 500 (minimum) and Rs 1,50,000 in a financial year in the financial year.
ELSS is offered by mutual fund companies. Your initial investments in ELSS will qualify for 80C benefits. You make a minimum investment of Rs 500 in ELSS. But there is no upper investment limit. Contributions up to Rs 1.5 lakh are tax-exempt under Section 80C.
You can also buy a National Savings Certificate from the post office at a minimum price of Rs 100. There is no upper investment in NSC. As per the NSC rules, deposits and the interest accruing annually but "deemed to have been reinvested" qualify for deduction under Section 80C.
If you haven't yet started saving for retirement, NPS is one of the best options available to you. Investment up to Rs 1.5 lakh in NPS qualified for section 80C in a financial year.
The Income Tax department's official website says, " The taxes on income can be finalized only on the completion of the previous year."
However, there is also a provision for "Pay as you earn" that allows advance tax payment during the year of earning. The official website says, "However, to enable a regular flow of funds and for easing the process of collection of taxes, Income-tax Act has provisions for payment of taxes in advance during the year of earning itself or before completion of previous year. It is also known as Pay as your earn concept."
The Income Tax Department collects taxes in at least three ways: a) Voluntary payment by taxpayers into various designated Banks. These are in the form of Advance tax, Self-Assessment tax, etc. b) Taxes deducted at source. c) Taxes collected at source.

Introduction: Ivabradine is a novel selective If current inhibitor with anti-ischemic and antianginal activity.
Objectives: To assess the effect of the selective If current inhibitor ivabradine on heart rate, angina pectoris, and functional capacity in stable patients with chronic coronary artery disease on maximally tolerated medical therapy.
Materials and Methods: Consecutive patients from the out-patient cardiology clinic with stable coronary artery disease documented by coronary angiography were included. Patients had to be on maximally tolerated medical therapy with β-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or receptor blockers (ACE-I or ARB), antiplatelets, statins, nitrates, and anti-metabolics with a baseline heart rate of at least 70 beats per minute. All patients underwent assessment of angina (Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Class: CCS I to IV) and functional capacity (using a validated self-administered questionnaire), at baseline and after 4 months of ivabradine therapy.
Results: Twenty patients were enrolled (mean age 47 ± 7 years, all male, 60% with hypertension, 30% with diabetes mellitus). Patients were on optimal medical regimen of aspirin (100%), β-blocker (100%), statins (100%), clopidogrel (90%), nitrates (35%), anti-metabolics (90%), and ACE-I or ARB (95%). At baseline, the majority of patients (90%) were in CCS class II-IV. All patients were started on ivabradine 5 mg twice daily, and in 12 patients the dose was increased to 7.5 mg twice daily. After 4 months of treatment, the heart rate was significantly reduced from an average of 82 ± 8 to 68 ± 6 bpm ( P < 0.001). The reduction in heart rate was accompanied by a significant improvement in functional capacity (score 3.5 ± 0.9 to 4.7 ± 0.7, P < 0.001) and angina classification; at baseline 10% of the patients were in CCS class I compared to 50% after 4 months of therapy ( P = 0.01). No symptomatic bradycardia was reported with ivabradine.
Conclusion: The addition of ivabradine to optimal medical therapy in patients with stable coronary artery disease is associated with significant improvement in anginal symptoms and functional capacity.

Angina pectoris is typically caused by myocardial ischemia owing to an imbalance between myocardial perfusion and oxygen demand. Elevated heart rate increases myocardial oxygen demand and limits tissue perfusion, the latter by reducing the duration of diastole during which most myocardial perfusion occurs. [1] In current clinical practice, however, many patients with stable angina pectoris require treatment with more than one anti-anginal drug, in addition to short-acting nitrates. [2],[3],[4],[5] Ivabradine is a pure heart rate-lowering agent that acts by inhibiting If, an important ionic current channel involved in the pacemaker activity in cells of the sinoatrial node. [6] Ivabradine reduces the slope of spontaneous diastolic depolarization in these cells and lowers the heart rate at rest and during exercise. Ivabradine has demonstrated anti-ischemic and anti-anginal efficacy in randomized trials in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris when compared with placebo. [7] It has also been shown to be non-inferior to atenolol [8] or amlodipine [9] in controlling anginal symptoms.
We examined the effects of ivabradine in patients with stable ischemic heart disease on maximally tolerated medical therapy, with regard to resting heart rate, angina class, and quality of life.
Twenty patients were enrolled in the study from the out-patient cardiology clinic according to the following inclusion criteria:
Proof of significant coronary heart disease by coronary arteriography.
Symptoms of angina pectoris.
Stable treatment with maximally tolerated medical therapy.
Heart rate in sinus rhythm of at least 70 beat per minute.
Ivabradine was prescribed to all patients. Patients' evaluation at baseline was used as the control and at 4 months as the active intervention. They were then evaluated at 1 and 4 months. Parameters measured before and after treatment with ivabradine were quality of life score, [10] Canadian Cardiac Society (CCS) class of anginal chest pain, [11] and resting heart rate. The dose of ivabradine was 5 mg twice daily that could be uptitrated to 7.5 mg twice daily in 4 weeks time. Patients were excluded from the study if they had one of the following:
Acute coronary syndrome.
Acute decompensated heart failure.
Heart rate less than 70 beat per minute.
Chronic or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
All patients had signed a consent agreeing to join the study. The protocol of the study was approved by the ethical committee of our institution.
We enrolled 20 consecutive patients with documented coronary artery disease. All were male with an average age of 47 ± 7 years. Nearly two-thirds of the patients had a history of hypertension and one-third had a history of diabetes mellitus [Table 1]. All patients were on aspirin, statin, and β-blocker, and the majority were on clopidogrel and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker [Table 1]. One-third of the patients were also on a long-acting nitrate. The resting heart rate decreased significantly from a mean of 82 ± 8 at baseline to 68 ± 6 bpm at the 4 months visit, P < 0.0001 [Table 1]. The reduction in heart rate was accompanied by improvement in angina symptoms [Figure 1]. The CCS class of chest pain [Table 2], [Figure 1] improved in 16/20 patients by one or two classes; in the four patients whose CCS class did not improve, two were class 1 and they had residual single vessel disease after PCI, and two were class II due to extensive underlying ischemic heart disease that was not amenable to revascularization. The quality of life score improved significantly from 3.46 ± 0.87 at the first visit to 4.67 ± 0.71 at 4 months visit, P < 0.0001.
Table 1: Patients' characteristics and medications
Table 2: Change in Canadian Cardiac Society Angina class
Figure 1: Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina class
We prospectively studied the effects of ivabradine in 20 patients with coronary artery disease and stable angina despite maximally tolerated medical therapy followed in routine clinical practice. The addition of ivabradine to their regimen significantly lowered the resting heart rate, improved the Canadian class of chest pain in the majority of patients, and improved the quality of life score in comparison to baseline.
A high resting heart rate is a potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factor, both in the general population and in patients with cardiovascular disease. [4],[12],[13]
In our study, the heart rate dropped significantly by 14 bpm in comparison to baseline which was in agreement with other authors. [7],[14],[15] In the study of Fox, et al. (BEAUTIFUL Trial) in the prespecified subgroup of patients with the heart rate of 70 bpm or greater, ivabradine treatment did not affect the primary composite outcome, cardiovascular death, or admission to hospital for new-onset or worsening heart failure. However, it did reduce secondary endpoints: Admission to hospital for fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction and coronary revascularization.
In our study, we analyzed the Canadian class of angina before and after the start of ivabradine. At baseline, 10% of patients were in CCS class I compared to 50% after 4 months of therapy (P = 0.01). Other authors used objective measures of angina provocation by the exercise tolerance test, total exercise time, and time to limiting angina, which were shown to improve after using ivabradine. [8],[16]
With decreasing heart rate, the quality of life questionnaire showed significant improvement mostly related to improvement in angina class. The ADDITIONS Trial showed similar significant improvement in quality of life after 4 months of starting procoralan therapy with a mean score rising from 0.66 at baseline to 0.83 at 4 months. [17]
Our limitations in this study were the small number studied, no control group, lack of objective assessment, and the short follow-up time.
The addition of ivabradine to maximally tolerated medical therapy in patients with stable coronary artery disease is associated with significant decreases in resting heart rate and improvements in angina symptoms and quality of life. Despite our study being limited, subjective assessment of patient symptoms is important.

THE RISE OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE IN THE SIXTIES: PAVING A NEW ENTRANCE TO THE HOUSE OF MEDICINE. Anne K. Merritt (Sponsored by John H. Warner). Section of the History of Medicine, Yale University, School of Medicine, New Haven, CT. This thesis investigates how emergency medicine evolved in the United States in the 1960s. Three case studies, Alexandria Hospital, Hartford Hospital, and Yale-New Haven Hospital, demonstrate the changes in emergency medicine at a small community hospital, a mid-sized teaching hospital, and an urban academic institution, respectively. The government, the media, the American public, and the medical community brought emergency medical care to the forefront of national attention in the sixties. In an era of population migration to suburbs, the rise of group practices, and medical specialization, patients relationships with their general practitioners dissolved. Emergency visits increased astronomically because patients started to use the emergency room for non-urgent health problems. Simultaneously, physicians and house staff resisted working in the emergency room. In response to rising patient loads, mounting criticism of emergency services, and staffing problems, hospital administrators devised strategies to improve the quality and efficiency of emergency care. The rise of emergency medicine in the sixties was a result of (1) advances in pre-hospital, trauma, and coronary care which distinguished a new clinical field and (2) the emergence of full-time emergency physicians at community hospitals. Urban teaching hospitals, which established triage systems and ambulatory care facilities in order to improve emergency services, resisted the idea of emergency medicine and ultimately delayed its development as a specialty.

LONGING FOR BETTER DISCOURSE: One-year-old boy shot and killed in New York!
The segregation of news: For unknown reasons, the New York Times decided to try it again.
In this morning's editions, Southall and Gold report on rising gun violence in New York City. For unknown reasons, their editors let them try to report some statistics.
The reporters focused on the shooting death, Sunday night, of a 1-year-old boy in a stroller. At one point, though, they presented some elementary data.
This is what occurred:
SOUTHALL AND GOLD (7/13/20): Davell's death came during another grim weekend of gun violence in the city, where shootings in June and July are up sharply compared with the same period last year, a spike that has helped push the overall number for the year higher.
As of July 12, there had been 634 shootings in 2020, compared with 394 in 2019. At that pace, the city would top 800 shootings for the year. It would be the first time in three years that the city had reached that number.
Yes, that's what it actually says. That's what it says in our print edition. That's what it still says in the news otherwise significant news report which appears online.
As of yesterday, there have been 634 shootings in New York City this year. At that pace, the city will top 800 by the end of the year!
Yes, that's what the news report says. No, we didn't invent that.
As we've mentioned in the past, people do make mistakes. And in this case, to be perfectly fair, the statements we've highlighted are all technically accurate.
At the current pace, the city will indeed top 800 shootings this year. That said, at the current rate, New York City could very well top twelve hundred shootings this year! By our calculations, the current pace would produce a total of 1196 shootings.
We have no idea how the Times reporters, or perhaps their editor, settled on eight hundred shootings as the statistical benchmark. Nor do we know how they picked three years as the time span of highest relevance.
When did Gotham last experience 1200 shootings in a calendar year? We can't tell you that, and the Times report, as presented online, offers no link to any data.
We haven't forgotten that one-year-old boy, the one who was shot and killed in his stroller on Sunday night. We'll return to his death as we make our main point, but first, let's offer some context:
By "shootings," the Times reporters probably mean "shooting incidents" (as opposed to "shooting victims"). Those are separate categories in New York City's CompStat data, last week's version of which can be perused right here.
For the record, while "shooting incidents" are substantially up as compared to last year at this time, that CompStat report seems to say that the current number is 17.3% lower than the corresponding number at this point in 2010.
Strikingly, the current number is a walloping 78.3% lower than the corresponding number in 1993! The reporters stress the fact that city residents are alarmed by the current pace of shootings. But even at the current alarming pace, "shootings" in New York City are way down since that year.
That larger number of shootings occurred during the long high-crime era which produced, among other things, the 1994 crime bill. As we all can remember, high-spirited entities within our own tents used that bill, in 2016, to launch attacks against Candidate Clinton. Also, she had used a disfavored term—"super-predators"—on one occasion in 1996.
These highly visible attacks helped send Donald J. Trump to the White House. In such ways, our own occasionally fallible tribe has helped create our less than bravura new world, in which a one-year-old boy was shot and killed in Brooklyn this past Sunday night.
As a bit of an afterthought, here's what happened that night:
According to the Times report, that one-year-old boy, Davell Gardner Jr., was shot in the stomach as he sat in his stroller at a cookout in Brooklyn. "He died a short time later at a nearby hospital," the Times report says.
We saw a report about Davell Gardner's death just last night, on cable. For better or worse—quite often, for worse—we saw the report on a frequently gruesome Fox News show, Tucker Carlson Tonight.
Carlson mentioned the death of this one-year-old boy in his program's third minute. The final segment of the show concerned the rise in shootings in New York City, with general ruminations about the current state of the NYPD.
We mention this for a reason:
Carlson's program is reliably larded with ludicrous name-calling aimed st those of whom he disapproves, along with ridiculous editing of videotape and butchered versions of various people's public statements. Again and again, the journalistic standards put on display are an embarrassment and a mark of the times.
That said, you may see topics discussed on Carlson's show which you won't see discussed on the other two cable news channels. Last night, viewers heard about that shooting death, and about the rise in shooting incidents in New York City generally.
(CNN's transcripts show no sign of any such discussions from 6 PM Eastern through midnight. MSNBC's transcripts will show up sometime next month.)
On our own tribe's cable channels, a certain type of segregation may perhaps seem to exist. Shooting deaths will be discussed, at length, if the shooting was done by a police officer. Such shooting deaths count so much that cable hosts may even start to edit, alter or rearrange their accounts of the way these deaths occurred.
On the other hand, shooting deaths may not seem to matter much, or at all, if the're done by people who aren't police officers. If a kid if shot and killed in a civilian crossfire, it may not seem to matter on our own tribe's cable channels.
There is another way in which cable channels currently "segregate" news. Increasingly, people with differing points of view, or even with different points of emphasis, aren't likely to encounter each other on these carefully curated programs.
On CNN and MSNBC, you will increasingly see no guest who doesn't present the current approved Storyline, whatever it happens to be. Amazingly, this segregation of viewpoint and emphasis may be slightly less dominant on Fox at this point, although that's just a guess.
Nationwide crime has been on the decline for several decades. For our money, Kevin's Drum's analysis of this phenomenon has been one of the blogosphere's few great achievements to date.
Now, especially in urban settings, violence and shooting incidents seem to be on the rise again. Why haven't various municipalities been able to protect their children, and the parents of those children, from this kind of violence? Is there merit to a critique you may hear on Fox, in which you'll be told that the current black lives movement doesn't seem to focus enough on this type of shooting death?
We've been watching Carlson lately because we could no longer stomach Anderson Cooper and his endless Sarcasm/Storyline. We've occasionally glanced in on Laura Ingraham too.
As compared to Carlson, it seems to us that she has been much less ridiculous in her presentation of certain Fox-only themes and points of view. You will, of course, have to flip back to Lawrence when Dinesh D'Souza comes on.
During these sojourns, we've been struck by the segregation of cable news—by the sifting of what topics you'll see discussed, of what information you'll be given, depending on which channel you are watching.
Monday morning, Slate's Lili Loofbourow said she shares "the longing for better discourse." We were struck by one aspect of the essay she wrote about that topic. We may return to it tomorrow.
Last night, we were struck, once again, by where you have to go on cable to hear about one-year-old kids getting shot and killed in their strollers.
Could it possibly be, we asked, that our tribe was possibly wrong when it ranted, railed and carried on about the word that candidate used on that one occasion? Also, is it possible that our occasionally imperfect tribe is making misjudgments today?

"Gruesome", dear Bob? I've seen a couple of them back in April-May and they were fine, except for what I thought were gratuitous attacks on the Chinese government.
Perhaps you're switching to your zombie mode when Carlson is on, dear Bob? Pay attention, please.
As for the shootings and such, yes, I remember the early 90s. Bad shit.
Note, however, that it wasn't ideological violence. No militants, no anti-policing narratives; it was merely gang-related. This one may get uglier. Especially if Our Beloved Commander wins the election.

Somerby is way off base today. First, the Crime Bill (which occurred under Bill Clinton, not Hillary) did not send Trump to the White House. Russia, Roger Stone, Wikileaks and James Comey did that.
Second, shootings decreased in NYC because of the general decrease in crime nationwide (which Drum attributes to lead abatement), but also because real estate prices went up to the point where only wealthy individuals could afford to reside in the New York area.
Third, shootings are up now because of the stresses associated with job loss and fear of covid. They are also increasing because of the rise in gun ownership and the unfettered activitiy of right-wing domestic terrorism.
Fourth, this shooting sounds like a stray bullet perhaps intended for someone else, perhaps shot into the air in a belated Fourth of July celebration. Illegal fireworks have been on the rise in NY and other areas too, and are being used not only on the 4th but as an expression of resistance to covid restrictions.
Of course Carlson talked about this shooting. The right loves to talk about so-called black-on-black crime, or minority crime. And yes, liberals do talk about police shootings, but liberals also talk about gun accidents and shootings of children, because liberals in general favor gun legislation. And liberals have been asking for government investigation of both domestic terrorism from alt-right and of prevention of domestic violence, another source of gun violence.
Somerby doesn't mention that Fox is using this shooting to support police complaints about the release of prisoners due to covid-19. Police are saying that the increase of violence is due to those early releases, not other causes. Notice also that Somerby doesn't notice that two boys were also shot that day, a 12 year old and a 15 year old.
The report on Fox states:
"Police said the four victims were struck by gunfire after two men walked up to the sidewalk gathering in Brooklyn just before midnight, and started shooting from across Raymond Bush Park in Bed Stuy. Their motive is unclear at this time."
Why would two unknown men just walk up to a family group and start shooting at them? Most of the time when that happens it is due to racial animosity, with the shooters white and the victims minorities. Fox would never tell you that. The adults who were shot were hit in their ankles and feet. It sounds like an attempt to terrorize and not to kill, or an attempt to drive the picnicking people off the street. Or the shooters were perhaps drunk.
But in any case, I do not believe it is our misbegotten tribe that is making misjudgments. I think Somerby has come out of the closet about his Fox-watching habits and is not thinking about why Tucker Carlson reported that story.
Notice how statistics provide no additional information about what happened, and notice how Somerby disappeared the whole political context about police going on strike because of covid prisoner-releases from this story, obviously intended to scare viewers into greater support for police complaints.
And here we see the dishonesty of Somerby's presentation.
@11:21 Your comment illustrates Bob's thesis. Actually most black victims were shot by other blacks. But, you would not know that from the liberal media, because they tend to ignore black on black murders.
There is no evidence that the liberal media does not care about so-called black-on-black murders (an ugly term that David loves to use here). See mh's comment below about liberal involvement in anti-violence activism.
I've never heard David talk about brown-on-brown shootings. Shall I assume he only cares about black people? This is a ridiculous refrain that David raises to deflect from any mention of BLM and police accountability.
People are mostly shot by people who are close to them, in the same family, in the same neighborhood. Since people tend to live with those who are similar to themselves, the likelihood of being shot by someone of the same race is higher than that of being shot by someone from farther away, demographically speaking. That doesn't mean that black people prefer to shoot other black people, any more than the tendency of white people to shoot white people means that they are avoiding shooting black people because of their race.
The reason why police are being accused of mistreating black people is because they treat black people different than white people during their policing activities. There is bias there -- there is not bias at work in other gun violence, other than the systemic bias that exists in our society and dictates where people live and work.
David, did you happen to watch Wyatt Cenac's show about police and race? I think watching that series might be a fair measure of your own concern about black-on-black shootings.
Somerby says you will only hear about this on Fox, but it was reported by the NY Times and New York Magazine.
Why do liberal cable stations have to show the same segments as conservative ones?
How can Somerby stomach even a few minutes of Carlson or Ingraham? No liberal I know would ever subject themselves to that. He is watching those shows by choice, because he doesn't like Cooper's style.
I think it is time for Somerby to admit that he has become a conservative. He doesn't like "sarcasm" and he won't watch an out gay man (who strikes me as innocuous), so he turns to Fox for refuge (not MSNBC, notice). He needs to come clean, with himself and his therapist, if not with us.

'How can Somerby stomach even a few minutes of Carlson or Ingraham? No liberal I know would ever subject themselves to thaT'
Because Somerby is a hard core malevolent Trumptard. One of the side benefits of seeing Trump lose in November will be to see Somerby bitch and moan about it for the rest of his miserable life.
Just a few days ago, Somerby was arguing that parents who have "the talk" with their 7 year olds are unnecessarily terrifying them, because of media representations of violence. Today, he complains because cable didn't cover the shooting of a one-year-old at a barbecue.
Essence Magazine is a black publication. Recently it conducted a survey of black women about racial issues.
"Essence's study gives insight into the unique experiences of Black women in the workplace, as mothers, and as Americans. Key findings show that:
• 93 percent of Black women in the U.S. say they've experienced racism in their lifetime.
• Nearly half of Black women say the place they most frequently experience racism is the workplace. Nearly half of Black women also say they've faced racism when applying for a job and when being considered for a promotion or equal pay.
• 73 percent of Black women worry their children will be victims of police brutality. 82 percent fear that their children will not get the same opportunities as white children and 83 percent fear they will be "subjected to on-going racism."
• Though calls for change have been amplified after the death of George Floyd, only one-in-three (33 percent) Black women believe "things will be better for their child's generation than their own." "
The one year old who was shot in Brooklyn was black. But Somerby thinks black parents shouldn't worry about their children.

"is it possible that our occasionally imperfect tribe is making misjudgments today?"
Somerby morphs a (not unwarranted) criticism of the media into a criticism of "our tribe", ie "liberals."
Fox News brings up black-on-black violence as a way of ridiculing BLM and liberals, not because Fox cares about black-on-black crime. Their "reasoning" is illogical. Just because BLM has chosen the narrow focus of police violence against blacks, it does not follow that they don't care about black crime victims who were not shot by police. Activist groups usually choose a narrow focus.
It also does not imply that liberals don't care. There are many local community groups in cities all over the country who are focused on preventing violence, mentoring, or serving as victim advocacy groups. Many of these groups were started by black pastors or mothers who lost their kids. There are also national groups, like Moms Demand Action, that are focused on gun violence. Many of these people are liberal.
It's probably fair to say the most of these groups by and large don't receive much national media attention. And that is an indictment of all media, not just "mainstream."
But here is where Somerby goes wrong with his media criticism. The contention that CNN or MSNBC don't give these groups much (if any) attention does not mean that liberals don't care. It means that these news outlets (wittingly or not) abet the Fox News narrative by making it appear as if liberals don't care.
But Somerby wants to accuse liberals ("our tribe") just as much as Fox does, and I object to it.
Here's a decent NYT editorial from a few years ago that makes the point I am trying to make here:
"Black Activists Don't Ignore Crime
By Lisa L Miller"
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/06/opinion/black-activists-dont-ignore-crime.html
Liberals only care (and always hysterically) about what they were told (recently) to care about by their High Priests from their Central Committee.
It wouldn't surprise me a bit if all this blm bullshit disappears tomorrow, at the request of your cult's consultants, to give way to a new hysterical campaign for "wimmin's right to choose!" or "green new deal!" or "the Russians are coming!" or some other drivel.
Our High Priest from our Central Committee called and said it is time for you to "give way". Hurry please.
Whoa, dear Bob, another editor of your cult's main propaganda organ is gone:
"Showing Up For Work … Should Not Require Bravery": Another Times Editor Leaves Under Fire For Opposing Views
At this rate it'll soon become 100% ideologically sound.
Good riddance to Bari Weiss. She resigned because people didn't agree with her opinions. If you are going to set yourself up as "controversial" you need to expect opposition. I have disliked her since her first editorial and I am glad she is leaving.
Note -- she wasn't purged. She quit.
"As a student at Columbia, Weiss founded the Columbia Coalition for Sudan in response to the war in Darfur. She was also a co-founder of Columbians for Academic Freedom. The group said that professors were intimidating students who expressed pro-Israel sentiments in classroom discussions that the professors disagreed with.[6] Weiss said that she felt intimidated in a class by Joseph Massad.[7][6][8] A committee at Columbia charged with investigating these claims concluded that "no evidence of any statements made by the faculty that could reasonably be construed as anti-Semitic."[9] The New York Civil Liberties Union said it was actually Weiss' group, the Columbians for Academic Freedom, who threatened academic freedom at the university, by leveling baseless accusations against Muslim professors and pushing the University to fire critics of Israel.[10][11]"
And it also says:
"Weiss has been described as conservative by Haaretz, The Times of Israel, The Daily Dot, and Business Insider.[20][21][22][23] She describes herself as a "left-leaning centrist."[24] According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, "her writing, which includes criticism of the right and the left, doesn't lend itself easily to labels."[25] According to The Washington Post reporter Avi Selk, Weiss "portrays herself as a liberal uncomfortable with the excesses of left-wing culture."[26] Vanity Fair describes Weiss as "a provocateur" and an "ardent Zionist".[3]"
I have no problem with her position on Israel, but I find it telling that she used the same tactics at Columbia that she is now decrying at the NY Times.
She is another person who is claiming to be "liberal centrist" while expressing conservative views. These stealth conservatives tend to sow dissent and confusion among liberals, which is perhaps their intention.
She appeals to Bill Maher because of her anti-PC views, claiming that PC has taken over liberaldom, and now extending that to the controversy over editing at the NY Times. This view that liberals are too PC, engaged in "cancel culture", imposing orthodoxy on each other, comes from the right, from people like Dinesh d'Souza initially. Other staff at the NY Times are right to complain about Weiss.
"...but I find it telling that she used the same tactics at Columbia that she is now decrying at the NY Times"
And what is it telling you?
She is a controversy magnet, she thrives on it. Her goal is to attract attention by accusing others of suppressing her views, when she is, in fact, doing the same to her own political targets -- liberals at the NY Times, muslim professors at Columbia. Her resignation is a plot to make herself seem like a victim of liberal culture, when she has chosen to resign. She is behaving like a political operative, not an editor with "liberal centrist" opinions.
Right, dembot, attack the messenger. It doesn't make any difference what she is or isn't. The story is about the goebbelsian NYT.
You asked me why I found it telling, and I told you. Her opinions are being attacked and she is saying "...help, help, I'm being suppressed. Now we see the violence inherent in the system..."
Poetic justice, if you ask me.
She was bullying and smearing Prof Massad, and then she got the same treatment at the NYT.
Good, well deserved.
It doesn't excuse the NYT, though.
Bari Weiss left NY Times to work on a project with Andrew Sullivan who has given notice at New York Magazine, according to Sullivan himself (in a tweet).
Somerby hasn't told his readers that there has been a battle for the heart and sole of the editorial page raging behind the scenes.
A huge thing going on there and Somerby says nothing, preferring to muse about death rates.
Twitter says Ben Shapiro is joining them too.
Cheap Wino (in comments at Lawyers Guns Money blog) says of Weiss:
"It's central to her schtick. She's the Jewish liberal who agrees with conservatives about everything. She's set herself up as the Uncle Tom of Jews and made a good living on it. Tucker [Carlson] is exactly the right place for her."
Don Jr. is apparently defending her on Twitter!
Cecelia July 14, 2020 at 7:11 PM
And this site is the Internet battle ground against contrarianism that you're willing to die on.
Till "seldom is heard a discouraging word and the sky is not clouded all day".
There is a difference between being a contrarian and being a conservative while calling oneself liberal.
Why is a segment about a one-year-old boy, shot for no reason, considered "better discourse" by Somerby?
This might be the time to point out again that these cable shows cover national events and issues, not local ones, whereas crime is a local issue. Fox covered this shooting, not because of the one-year-old child, but because of the controversy between police and the administration that released prisoners to prevent spread of covid. There is a larger political issues involved.
MSNBC and CNN most likely had no similar political or other issue to promote using the death of that child, which was sad, a tragedy, but not on their beat. It seems like Somerby is blaming CNN for not politicizing a child's death. Fox does tend to personalize their grievances by presenting individuals who epitomize an issue, like the baker who refused to bake a gay wedding cake, or the electrical workers whose union told them they couldn't help out to restore power after a hurricane. Using people lives that way makes abstract issues more real to their voters. This is the opposite of what Somerby demands with his focus on statistics, so it seems odd that he says he prefers the Fox approach to the death of one-year-old children.

I visited my doctor for a second opinion to verify that I am currently experiencing genital warts on both sides of my inner labia caused by HSV which I was not aware I had until the genital warts appeared. I discovered them about 2 months ago and it saddened me to find the warts because I felt it meant I had contracted an STD,I never applied medical drugs or therapies,because I prefer going natural routes first if any are available. At first, I was not sure I'd be able to use anything since the labia is such a sensitive area but I remembered that I had been reviewing series of testimonies on how herbal doctor razor had been curing people of Genital warts, And I had Them on the bottoms of my feet so I decided to try doctor razor herbs. Thankfully, Doctor razor herbal medication seems to be getting rid of the genital warts. When I first began applying it I noticed some slight aching feelings in my vaginal area that I had never felt before. I no longer feel the aches though. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO BE COMPLETELY CURED OF THIS VIRUS.However, I don't feel the shame anymore and am so grateful to Mother Nature and Doctor Razor for helping a sister out.
