Happy Birthday to the Rock and Roll Star, Doug Kershaw
What are your interests? Do you have a specific hobby that you want to do for the rest of your life? Anyway, some of us want to do a lot of things. Hence, we want to excel in every aspect of life because we want to be the best. But, be careful because once you push yourself too much it might be the cause of your downfall. Well, that is different for Doug Kershaw because his goal in life is clear. Do you know, that he can play 28 different instruments! Isn't that amazing? Now, we know what he really wanted to be. Anyhow, today is his 83rd birthday, so let's go ahead and greet him. In addition, let's reminisce one of his hits "Diggy Liggy Lo."
The Talented Man from Louisiana
Doug Kershaw was born on January 24, 1936, in a humble home. As he grew up, he did not learn English as a primary language because his family spoke French. Anyhow, childhood was fun for him because Kershaw learned how to play the fiddle at the age of five. In addition, he mastered 28 other instruments. We can say that this artist is really a musical genius. His first performances started at a local bar called the Bucket of Blood. But in 1948, he was able to convince two of his brothers to form a group called the Continental Boys.

The group did not last and they had to part ways to build solo careers. But I guess all of them are successful in the music industry, knowing the fact that they are still active in the spotlight.
Get up and Dance to the Groove
As we join our birthday celebrator, Doug Kershaw, let's go ahead and reminisce one of his hits from the '60s "Diggy Liggy Lo." Moreover, this hit is just perfect for the special occasion. Go ahead and dust those old boots and dance to the music. Once again, Happy Birthday!

Ape of the Geek: Ape--X!
Species: Mutated gorilla
First Appearance: Squadron Supreme Volume 1, #5
Other Appearances: Ape-X was featured in The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Volume 2, #12
Merchandising: None
Biography: Ape-X was originally Xina, an ordinary Earth gorilla, until she was mutated in an attempt to enhance her intelligence. When her trainer was killed, she turned to crime and eventually joined the Institute of Evil, taking on the name Ape-X. Later, when the Squadron Supreme defeated the Institute, she underwent the behavior-modification process developed by Tom Thumb, and was thereafter admitted into the Squadron as a full member, working with Tom and continuing his work after he passed away. Part of the process of the b-mod treatment was that she would not betray any Squadron member, and when she learned that Squadron member Moonglow was a traitor to the team, the conflict between her duty not to betray a member and her duty to report the actions caused her to have a psychotic withdrawal from reality.
Powers: Ape-X has advanced intelligence, equivalent to human genius level. She has great mechanical aptitude. Since her lower torso and legs are amputated, she gets around in a mechanical wheelchair, which is equipped with various offensive and defensive capabilities.
Miscellaneous: Ape-X appears to be based on Gorilla Grodd, as all the Squadron Supreme members are based on DC's Justice League of America members or their villains, but I think there's also a hint of Monsieur Mallah there, too. A later Ape-X appeared in Marvel Apes #1, but this version was a small monkey that becomes a large gorilla when he puts on a magic Mexican wrestling mask.

Misdiagnosis is killing thousands of people each year. Doctors so often get it wrong, failing to properly diagnose a patient who does not have time on their side. Whether a doctor fails to diagnose, delays diagnosis or misdiagnoses a patient's condition it can lead to incorrect treatment or no treatment at all. This can cause a patient to become progressively worse and is in many cases irreversible; resulting in serious injury, illness, disease and even wrongful death.
Unfortunately, misdiagnosis is a very common medical malpractice claim. The wrong diagnosis can mean the difference between life and death. The correct diagnosis is so important that there's a standard way to diagnose disease; it's called making a differential diagnosis. When a healthcare provider fails to follow the appropriate diagnostic process, they may diagnose the wrong disease or fail to diagnose any disease at all.
If the undiagnosed disease progresses and the patient suffers terrible harm or untimely death, then the healthcare provider may be liable for medical malpractice. Commonly misdiagnosed illnesses include: cancer, pulmonary embolism, stroke and appendicitis
Lawsuits that hold healthcare providers accountable for misdiagnosis do more than help the victims and their families — they help make our families and our communities safer by making sure that the medical care we all receive meets minimal quality standards.
Help protect your loved ones. Hold wrongdoers accountable for their negligence.
Similarly, the failure to diagnose a medical condition is a serious form of medical malpractice. Some may think of malpractice or medical negligence mainly as it relates to the treatment of a patient, but a doctor's actions in diagnosing patients is just as important. A misdiagnosis or the ultimate failure to diagnose a serious medical condition may lead to catastrophic injuries or the loss of the patient's life. This is particularly relevant in deadly conditions such as cancer or a heart attack.
There are different situations that may cause a failure to diagnose. A doctor, who is too busy, overworked or who has not slept may be quick to make a decision just so he or she can move on to the next patient. An inexperienced doctor may fail to recognize that certain symptoms indicate one condition over another. A nurse may fail to write down crucial information about a patient's complaints or symptoms on a medical chart, leading to a doctor making a diagnosis based off inadequate information. An insurance company may deny further testing that would enable a doctor to make an accurate diagnosis.
Depending on the particular cause of a failure to diagnose, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the hospital, doctor, nurse or perhaps your medical insurance company for their actions.

The draw was made in Nyon on Monday 17 December.
Seeded teams (on the right of each fixture) are at home in the second legs.
**Second leg on Wednesday 20 February at 18:00CET.
There were two pots of clubs for the round of 32 draw – with the 12 group winners and the four best third-ranked teams in the UEFA Champions League group stage all seeded.
The seeded teams were drawn against the 12 group runners-up and the remaining third-placed Champions League sides.
No team could play a club from their UEFA Europa League group or a side from the same national association.
Based on decisions taken by the UEFA Executive Committee, teams from Russia and Ukraine could not be drawn together.
To avoid two teams from the same city playing at home on the same night, Fenerbahçe play their home first leg on Tuesday 12 February at 18:55CET.
For similar reasons, Sevilla and Arsenal play their home second legs on Wednesday 20 February at 18:00CET.

Q: Problem with Debugging in C++ Builder 2009 I have a strange problem, I hope you can help me.
I write a program in C++ Builder 2009, when I run the program without debugger I see an Exception raised. bun in debugger never exception raised and I cant find the exception point.
And Also I enable the CodeGaurd in C++ for Finding the problem but the Exception never raised, If I disable codeGuard the exception will be here again.
I use OpenCV and some Delphi units in the program.
And when I compile it I see more than 2 millions of code line compiled.
Thanks in advance for your attentoin.

A: A few things too look at:

*

*in the IDE options, make sure you are not ignoring some exceptions

*debug builds MAY have memory variables set to NULL on run, release builds will not. Make sure you are running the same build (Debug) in both the IDE and without.

Ignore the line count that is displayed, its all those .hpp files that holds the vcl headers.

Today is Cinco de Mayo, which according to the California Avocado Association is the largest avocado consumption day of the year. An estimated 87.3 million pounds of avocados will be consumed today, or about 175 million individual avocados or 349 million servings of guacamole! Satisfy your guacamole cravings while building lean muscle with this quick and easy high protein guacamole recipe for Cinco de Mayo.
There are so many reasons to love avocados. Avocados are one of the best sources of monounsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol and maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. Avocados also act as a "nutrient booster" by enabling the body to absorb more fat-soluble nutrients, such as alpha- and beta-carotene, natural antioxidants. Naturally cholesterol and sodium free, avocados contain over 20 different vitamins and minerals and a whopping 10 grams of cholesterol lowering and filling fiber per 1 cup serving (the amount of fruit in an average avocado).
The secret to this recipe is adding high protein, high fiber green peas. Peas sound like an odd thing to put in guacamole, but they add a thicker texture, protein, and a slight sweetness to the dip. If you read my post on smoothies you know I also like adding green peas to my smoothies for the same reason. Giving your guacamole a protein boost will keep you feeling full longer while cutting the fat and keeping the delicious flavor.
In a blender or food processor, puree the peas.
Combine the peas, lime juice, spices, and avocado in the blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Add the pepper, tomato, and cilantro and blend together.
Remove from the mixer and place in a bowl to chill in the refrigerator. Serve cold and enjoy with baby carrots, bell pepper strips, celery, broccoli, or organic corn chips.

Protests clash over pipeline
Protesters on either side of the debate over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion clashed at a rally organized by the project's supporters in Vancouver today.
Lynn Nellis of the Canada Action Coalition was speaking to the crowd of a few dozen people when anti-pipeline protester Kwiis Hamilton began playing rock music.
Rally attendees asked him to stop but Hamilton persisted.
Vancouver police responded when Hamilton was shoved.
Afterwards, Hamilton said he interrupted the rally because he wants to defend the land along the B.C. coastline where his ancestors have lived for generations.
Several First Nation leaders who support the project spoke at the rally, including Shane Gottfriedson of Project Reconciliation, an Indigenous-led coalition that hopes to buy 51 per cent of the expansion project.
Gottfriedson says a few Indigenous bands have joined Project Reconciliation and they're prepared to offer the federal government a fair price for the project, which has been approved by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government for a second time.
"For many decades a lot of First Nations have been a part of the oil and gas industry and this opportunity to buy the Trans Mountain pipeline is a one-time opportunity and we're hoping to make the best of it," he said.
Clifford Sampare, a hereditary chief of the Gitxsan Nation, told the rally the pipeline expansion will bring benefits to all of B.C.
"Imagine the revenue it'll generate for Canada," he said.

The Two Sides of Aerobatics
by Ron Rapp on February 12, 2006 in Aerobatics, Aviation, Safety
I just got home a few minutes ago, exhausted after spending two long days in an intensive class studying the finer points of judging competitive aerobatics.
My employer sponsored this seminar, better know as a "judges school", where those of us who are involved in the sport can satisfy one of the requirements for becoming an accredited IAC aerobatic judge.
I came away impressed once again with the two dozen aerobatic pilots I've come to know over the past year. They're an intelligent, well-considered group who take flying upside down seriously. People who've invested — and continue to invest — their time, money, and attention in this fine sport. People who take the risks seriously, countering them with world-class training and a dedication to following the rules.
I also came home to some bad news on the AP newswire.
ROSEVILLE, California (AP) — A single-engine plane that appeared to have been performing an aerobatic stunt lost control and crashed into a suburban home Sunday, killing at least two people and sparking a fire that gutted the house, police said.
The crash left a gaping, smoldering hole in the two-story house it directly hit and set fire to an adjacent house, damaging the garage and attic, said Roseville Fire Marshall Dennis Mathisen. One body was visible in the wreckage.
The plane — which the FAA identified as a 1996 Glasair II — appeared to be doing an aerobatic maneuver when it crashed just before 11:30 a.m., Roseville Police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther said.
"The pilot appeared to be coming down low for some kind of maneuver that brought him to within 500 feet of the rooftops," she said. "And then he appeared to lose control and crashed into one of the houses."
Rick Wurster, who lives about a half mile from the crash, saw the plane attempting to make a figure eight.
"He couldn't pull up because he didn't have enough altitude," Wurster said. "I saw him do two spins and then go over the tree line. A second later, I heard two booms."
This is the other side. Reckless behavior exhibited by the unqualified.
I firmly believe aerobatics are a safe activity, assuming they're performed in a safe location by a properly trained pilot. The investigation into this one is just starting, but this Glasair crash may be another case of massive error in pilot judgement. I say "may" because initial media reports after an accident are often inaccurate. Even preliminary NTSB reports often contain errors.
Nevertheless, I can say with certainty that no one should be performing aerobatics over homes. It is both unwise and highly illegal. I've seen footage of the crash site, and it's definitely a congested area.
In fact, 14 CFR 91.303 prohibits aerobatics in six places:
over any congested area
over an open air assembly of people
within an airport surface area
on an airway
below 1500 feet above the ground
when in-flight visibility is less than 3 miles
Since we're on the topic, it's worthwhile to define aerobatics. For the purposes of 91.303, it refers to "an intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's attitude, an abnormal attitude, or abnormal acceleration, not necessary for normal flight."
Now I wouldn't put too much stock in an AP news story, but if the reported eyewitness accounts are anywhere near reality, this pilot was way out of line. He shouldn't have been flying at 500′ over those homes, even in straight and level flight, unless he was in the process of taking off or landing.
So how dangerous is this kind of thing? Well, there were about 1,200 general aviation accidents last year. According to the Air Safety Foundation, "Low-level maneuvering was the leading cause [of accidents] again this year, as it has been for the last five, holding steady at about 25 percent of fatal accidents." Low level maneuvering is a synonym for low level aerobatics, something 99.9% of the pilot population has absolutely no business messing with.
By the same token, Sport Aerobatics magazine reported that 2005 saw only 10 airshow or contest-related mishaps, the second lowest total in the past two decades.
Ten accidents. Is that a lot? I don't know. But I do know this: airshows are one of the most popular events on the planet.
In the 1990s, airshows were the second most popular spectator sport in North America with over 18 million people attending more than 400 airshows annually. In 1998, airshows drew nearly twice the attendance figures of NFL football.
These airshows consist almost entirely of hard core, low level aerobatics. A year with only 10 mishaps sounds pretty good to me, especially when compared with 300 low level maneuvering accidents among the greater general aviation community.
The inescapable conclusion is that unless one has received appropriate aerobatic and spin training from a qualified instructor, aerobatics should be avoided. Though I'm undoubtedly talking to a brick wall, I'll say it again: low level aerobatics are especially deadly. They should only be attempted by extremely experienced, highly trained aerobats flying purpose-built equipment under tightly controlled conditions.
If pilots would stick to this simple rule, fatalities would drop by 25%, the largest single killer of aviators would be eliminated, and this beleagured avocation would avoid further damage to its public image.
Wake up, people.

4 comments for "The Two Sides of Aerobatics"
I saw a local television report on this and one eyewitness seemed very credible. He described the accident aircraft doing low passes, then an aileron, followed by another aileron roll that went bad.
That same night there was a report on a Beech Sierra that crashed just short of the runway at Reid-Hillview Airport in San Jose. A student pilot was at the controls, with an instructor in the right seat and another instructor in the backseat. Initial reports seem to indicate the engine stopped on short final because the selected fuel tank had run dry. There reportedly was plenty of fuel in the other tank. Fuel starvation with two CFIs onboard. Sheesh.
A third accident report of continued VFR flight into IMC would have completed the triad of the most popular ways to kill yourself in a small plane, but alas the weather was too good.
I hadn't heard about the RHV incident but read up on it in the Mercury News.
I suppose that unless a fuel leak is found, the CFI will be facing at a 709 ride for allowing the plane to run that tank dry. The off airport landing I guess one could make a defense for. "If the engine fails at low altitude, troubleshooting takes a back seat to establishing Vg and finding a place to land". But I doubt that will fly (no pun intended).
As for the weather, it was either too good, or too bad (ie. New York!). Fear not, I'm sure an VFR-into-IMC incident will be upon us all too soon. 🙁

Woody Allen's Café Society is a panoramic tale of 1930s New York and Hollywood with a kaleidoscopic cast of characters that range from movie stars to millionaires, playboys to professors, and working girls to wise guys. Here's a chat with the director; actors Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell, Blake Lively; and the great masters behind the cinematography and set design.
The director explains the film's broad scope was integral from the start.
As Bobby is new to LA, Phil asks his assistant, Vonnie (Kristen Stewart), to show him around town. After she takes him on a tour of movie star homes and shares her experiences and opinions about Hollywood, Bobby is immediately smitten. "Vonnie is an ambitious, fresh girl who is completely aware of the surface nature of the business she's in, says Stewart. It's fun and exciting, but there's also an emptiness she sees – and that gives her charm." Says Eisenberg: "I think both characters are constantly attracted to and resisting the allure of the glitzier side of the city of entertainment. But Vonnie provides a wonderful antidote for Bobby. She is cynical, funny, and seems to have a real world perspective." Unfortunately, Vonnie has a boyfriend, and he must settle for her friendship.
When Vonnie's boyfriend abruptly breaks up with her, Bobby seises the opening to romance her, and eventually she returns his affections. While he is starting to move up the ladder at Phil's agency, he comes to the conclusion that Los Angeles is not for him. He asks Vonnie to marry him and come back to New York and lead a bohemian life in Greenwich Village. Vonnie seems on the verge of saying yes when her ex-boyfriend comes back into the picture. Although she loves Bobby, she decides on her ex-boyfriend instead, leaving Bobby devastated.
Meanwhile, Evelyn and Leonard are struggling with a surly next-door neighbour who is becoming increasingly threatening. Leonard's mild attempts to resolve their conflicts in a reasonable way only seem to make the situation more volatile. Concerned for Leonard's safety, Evelyn asks Ben to speak to him, a request she will later regret.
New York style had a different feel because people, influenced by the heady cultural life that was swirling around them, were buying the tuxedos and couture fashion themselves. "New York women were a little more European, a little more chic than the women in California," says Benzinger. This was the time when all these French designers were appearing in New York, and among the ladies there was a huge competition with Chanel and Schiaparelli." As she couldn't rely on the mostly black and white pictures of the era, Benzinger had to resort to other techniques: "I would read articles from 30s fashion magazines that said things like 'This is the hot color from Paris!'" she says.

Zhangjiajie (), també coneguda en llengua tujia com Zhangx jif avlar /dzaŋ˩ ji˥ a˩.la˥/, és una ciutat-prefectura a la part nord-oest de la província de Hunan, Xina. Comprèn el districte de Yongding, Wulingyuan i els comtats de Cili i Sangzhi. Conté el Parc forestal nacional de Zhangjiajie, part de l'Àrea Escènica de Wulingyuan que va ser designada com a Patrimoni de la Humanitat el 1992 per l'Administració Nacional de Turisme de la Xina.

Història

La ciutat mateixa es deia anteriorment Dayong () i té una història registrada que es remunta al 221 aC. La gent vivia aquí al llarg dels dos marges del riu Lishui (el riu mare a Zhangjiajie), ara dins dels límits de la ciutat de Zhangjiajie, molt aviat durant l'edat de pedra. L'assentament humà en aquesta regió data de fa 100.000 anys, rivalitzant amb llocs famosos com Xi'an, Pequín i altres. El 1986, l'Acadèmia Xinesa de Ciències Socials va descobrir relíquies de l'edat de pedra al comtat de Cili, desenterrant 108 articles de gres; obres majoritàriament de forma afilada, piratejada i en forma de placa. Poc després, l'any 1988, l'Institut Arqueològic de la província de Hunan va trobar altres relíquies al comtat de Sangzhi, incloses tres peces de gres que es calcula que s'havien fet al voltant del mateix període de temps.

Fa deu mil anys, els que vivien dins dels límits de l'actual ciutat de Zhangjiajie van utilitzar el foc per coure ceràmica. Els arqueòlegs han trobat més de 20 relíquies d'aquest tipus al comtat de Cili. Al comtat de Sangzhi, es va descobrir una olla de fang negra adornada amb un disseny únic que datava de deu mil anys. Durant aquest període, aquesta tècnica de cocció de ceràmica era la més avançada de la Xina. Aquests avenços tecnològics en la confecció d'eines de pedra i ceràmica semblarien indicar una cultura molt desenvolupada en aquesta regió. Tanmateix, la societat que es va desenvolupar només va perdurar breument abans de minvar i ser substituïda per altres potències regionals. Això sembla comprensible tenint en compte la remota posició geogràfica de Zhangjiajie, la seva terra no urbanitzada i el seu transport fluvial i el seu terreny muntanyós que dificulta el cultiu. Per aquests motius, Zhangjiajie ha estat etiquetada com "la terra de la minoria del sud salvatge" des de la història més antiga registrada.

Origen del nom

El nou nom de la ciutat de Zhangjiajie es va adoptar l'any 1994, a partir del parc forestal nacional a l'àrea paisatgística de Wulingyuan per donar-li més protagonisme i després que aquest lloc hagués estat declarat Patrimoni de la Humanitat per la UNESCO el 1992. El Parc Forestal Nacional havia rebut el nom de Zhangjiajie pel nom d'un petit poble situat dins dels seus límits i és ara una atracció turística popular dins del parc. El nom de tres caràcters (张家界) es pot interpretar de la següent manera:  Zhang" (张) és un cognom comú a la Xina; "jia" (家) es pot traduir com "família" i "jie" (界) es pot traduir com "pàtria", donant la traducció completa de "pàtria de la família Zhang". S'ha informat que almenys una guia turística ha dit que el nom podria haver estat escollit per transmetre la idea o la impressió de "Obre la porta de la família per donar la benvinguda al món" (张家门引进世界), però aquest no és el significat localment acceptat i traduït directament del nom. La versió oficial del seu nom està vinculada a un general i conseller Han, Zhang Liang, que es va reassentar a la zona després que un sospitós Liu Bang, el fundador de la dinastia Han, comencés a perseguir els seus estats majors i generals que havien contribuït a convertir-lo en emperador. Va ser anomenat així per significar que la família Zhang s'havia instal·lat a casa allà.

"Jie" a la ciutat té dos significats: un es refereix al límit de la propietat, l'altre es refereix a l'alta muntanya. L'edició Daoguang dels "Annals del comtat de Yongding" de la dinastia Qing contenia: "El corrent Wudong es va originar a Zhangjiajie". L'edició de la República de la Xina dels "Registres del comtat de Cili" contenia: "Suoxi de Zhangjiajie". Aquí Zhangjiajie, es refereix a la zona del Parc Forestal Nacional de Zhangjiajie. Aquesta zona es va convertir en el territori hereditari de la família Zhang, anomenat "Zhangjiajie".

Subdivisions administratives
Zhangjiajie administra dos districtes i dos comtats.

 Districte de Yongding () (que conté l'àrea central urbanitzada de la ciutat de Zhangjiajie)
 Districte de Wulingyuan ()
 Comtat de Cili ()
 Comtat de Sangzhi ()

Transport
L'aeroport internacional de Zhangjiajie Hehua ofereix servei programat als principals aeroports de la Xina. Són uns  lluny del centre de la ciutat i  lluny de la zona panoràmica de Wulingyuan. Hi ha vols nacionals disponibles entre Zhangjiajie i altres ciutats, com ara Changsha, Pequín, Xangai, Guangzhou, etc. També hi ha vols entre Zhangjiajie i Seül i Busan.
Zhangjaijie té dues estacions de tren. L'estació de tren de Zhangjiajie es troba al ferrocarril Jiaozuo-Liuzhou. L'estació de ferrocarril de Zhangjiajie West es va inaugurar el 2019 al ferrocarril Qianjiang-Changde.

A causa del turisme, l'autopista G5513 Changsha–Zhangjiajie enllaça la capital provincial Changsha i Zhangjiajie.

Q: How to catch errors when downloading a file Im using react-native-fs to download files from a server and to read the local system. Everything works great, however Im having an issue where I don't know how to catch the failure when downloading a file.
For example, if the user lost network, how can I catch that? What I want is to show an alert message to the user, hide the download percentage message that I'm showing and delete the uncomplete download.
I have the following code, but the catch never runs:
const result = FS.downloadFile({
  fromUrl: url,                   // URL to download file from
  toFile: `${CACHE_DIR}/${name}`, // Local filesystem path to save the file to
  background: false,
  progressDivider: steps,
  begin: onBegin,
  progress: onProgress,
  readTimeout: 2 * MIN,
  connectionTimeout: 30 * SEC,
});

return result.promise
  .then(() => {
    this.index[name] = {
      name,
      path: `${CACHE_DIR}/${name}`,
      size: 0,
    };

    return this.index[name];
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log('error!', error);   // <-- This code never runs :(

    // Show and alert message to the user...

   // Hide downloading message

   // Delete incomplete download file
 });

For now I'm only focusing on Android, but later on I will move on to iOS. I wonder if the same issue happens on iOS as well or if is only on Android.
Thank you so much for your help.

A: You can use the second callback of then
return result.promise
  .then(() => {
    this.index[name] = {
      name,
      path: `${CACHE_DIR}/${name}`,
      size: 0,
    };

    return this.index[name];
  }, (error) => {
    console.log('error!', error);   // <-- This code never runs :(

    // Show and alert message to the user...

   // Hide downloading message

   // Delete incomplete download file
 });

Q: How can I improve the image quality of my projector? Most projectors I have available display fine at 1024x768, except that resolution is very low. If I up the resolution to 1280x1024 the image is still displayed, however the text quality drops.
Is there any solution to having a high resolution on a projector while maintaining quality of the image? Besides the obvious solution of buying a better projector ;)

A: Not really, it's sounds rather impossible to fit more information into less space when it's just fixed pixels. The image is simply down-scaled by the projector, leaving out details.
Sure, there are neat algorithms to give the appearance of more detail but there's a limit to what you can do with it especially when we're talking about small-size text. Consider that displaying a lower resolution on a higher resolution projector is basically a science in itself when it's not evenly dividable and the opposite becomes rather hard to do good.
An external scaler or trying to make the graphics card rescale the output instead could possibly result in a slightly better image, depending on how it is doing this. But an external scaler of good quality might cost you what a new projector would anyway ^^
What you could do is try to increase the text-size with the DPI setting in say Windows - it will still be fuzzy though - but might make it more readable. In the end, it's a bit silly, use the native resolution of the projector and adapt the user interface instead - like making the text smaller, window borders thinner and so on...

A: I would imagine that a lot of it depends upon the native resolution of the projector, and perhaps the technology it uses (LCD vs DLP).  If it's LCD, the projector has a small LCD panel internally, and you are bound by the limitation of the display's native resolution for picture sharpness and clarity.  CRT projectors don't have this problem.
For color, it's best to calibrate the projector using a test pattern / display calibration wizard (by eye), or using a colorimeter like a Spyder.

A: Not really. If you set the resolution higher than the native resolution of the projector it will blur the image to some extent to make it fit the native resolution.
Why do you need the higher resolution?

A: Ok, you'll need a candle, some gaff tape, a fresnel lens, and two squirrels...
aw, i've got nothing: you'll have probably already tried this - increase the font size?  (in windows it's on the Appearance tab in Display properties)

A: There isn't really a solution to the problem you're asking (getting more pixels on the display than are physically available), but you could try different color settings on your projector. Lots of projectors have a "true color" mode which, when switched on, sacrifices some image brightness for more faithful color reproduction. You could try switching this mode on or off and seeing if that makes any difference. You should note that photos of people's faces, in particular, can look pretty bad in non-true color mode.


For some of you this may be another chance to PR and get those HSPU's to the standard and for others it is the time to become efficient in the HSPU.
Here is a great little piece on the Kipping HSPU from Laurie Galassi.
Then we have some fairly heavy power cleans. For this, we need to be mindful of how we load our spine. The issue Kstar presents in this segment is very common among uber flexible women. Another way to think of this is to not over-extend your back. Check it out in a mirror at home and if your back resembles the shape of a Banana, No worries, we can get you flat and secured with less spinal load and sheer in no time at all. Fixing this is easier than you think and doesn't take much practice.
2) When setting up for the clean try not to tilt the hips. Bend at the hip but don't tilt the hip this is the most common fault in overextension and the reason you can't open you hips fully through the second pull.
3) Stay tight...moderate pressure inside to increase power outside. Achieve this by pushing the diaphragm down and bringing your belly button towards your spine.

RADIUS or Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service is a network protocol that provides Authentication, Authorization and Accounting of users and devices centralized management. It's widely used by Internet Service Providers and enterprises to control the access to Internet, local services, wireless networks through WiFi access points, etc.
The RADIUS protocol is implemented in the application layer with a client-server architecture that could use TCP or UDP as transport layer and are communicated with a users database like Active Directory, LDAP service or Linux accounting system. The most popular RADIUS solutions are FreeRadius or Microsoft NPS Radius Server.
The protocol messaging is based on client request and server response manner as it's shown below.
1. Client sends an Access-Request to the server for each user or device to be authenticated to the server port TCP/UDP 1812 (older server versions would use 1645 for authentication as well).
Optionally, the client and server could exchange messages of accounting like Accounting-Request and Accounting-Response in order to maintain a unique session identifier.
3. Client sends an Accounting-Request to the server through the port TCP/UDP 1813 for accounting session management (older server versions would use 1646 for authentication as well).
4. Server replies with a Accounting-Response message in order to confirm the new session.
In a RADIUS environment, an additional service for users database management will be required and important to be considered in high availability, which will be treated in other specific article.
The problem if a RADIUS service is down could produce the risk of users can't access to a servers network, or login into an application, users can't open a session into a device or unable to get the authorization to use a right in a business process. In order to solve that kind of situations, the aim of this article is to setup the environment shown below.
Zevenet will share the RADIUS protocol messages among all the RADIUS servers, either they're in different or local sites. In the following sections we're explaining the configuration of this kind of environments, the advanced health checks for RADIUS services and the security challenges of this protocol.
The RADIUS protocol nature is based on UDP packets, so the configuration of a reliable RADIUS environment is built with a LSLB farm with L4xNAT profile at layer 4, ports 1812 and 1813, protocol type UDP and preferred DNAT in order to have transparency and get the client IP at the backend side (although NAT should work perfectly as well).
In the Services, no persistence is needed by default unless some stickiness between the client-radius server is required.
If RADIUS is used through TCP instead of UDP, it could be changed in the protocol type field. It could be set as well ALL protocols in order to allow both TCP and UDP at the same time from the same virtual IP.
Finally, configure the backends with no ports configured (as it'll use the destination port of the client connection) and test the connection. Once the RADIUS virtual service is sucessfully configured, we can set the advanced health check for this service.
An advanced check is included in Zevenet with name check_radius under the default folder /usr/local/zenloadbalancer/app/libexec/.
The test will be done from Zevenet appliance to one certain RADIUS server with a dummy user validation and, optionally, a client configuration file for specific client parameters. Let's test the command, and then, when we get the OK from the server and the FAILURE when it's down we can configure the advanced health check in the Services section of our just created virtual service.
Don't forget to use the HOST token when configuring the advanced health checks in Zevenet as per below.
See below the Services section configuration.
The RADIUS protocol has traditionally used MD5 algorithms for per-packet authentication and integrity checks over UDP. As these two don't provide any security encryption and protection several approaches have been studied.
Deployments of RADIUS over IPsec or Internet Protocol Security have been widely deployed but there are some difficulties of this option as the application layer is not aware of the security policies, as it's implicit in the network layer. To use this approach with Zevenet it's required some manual configuration as it's not integrated yet.
The specification of DTLS or Datagram Transport Layer Security allows to provide encryption, monitor and control the security policies of such traffic.
Another option would be RADIUS over TLS that provides TCP capabilities of reliability and in-order transport layer.
For these kind of approaches, the IANA has created an official entry for RadSec (RADIUS Security) to use UDP 2083 port for RADIUS/TLS implementations.
Another option would be to enhance the digest and authorization layer with EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) that is not used in the link establishment layer but during the connection authentication phase, avoiding the use of MD5 weak digests.
In addition, with Zevenet, the RADIUS services can be protected with the IPDS module against malicious packets and hosts, DoS attacks, brute force attempts and much more.
If several RADIUS servers are deployed across different sites, it'd be interesting to forward the client connection to the site that manages their authentication, authorization and accounting data. Currently, Zevenet doesn't support RADIUS proxy capabilities but it's planned to be included soon. Look forward to the latest developments!
Enjoy your high available and scalable network accessing services!

Don't Starve Together Review
Greetings fellow gamers and video game enthusiasts, today in the spotlight is a game that is two years old but has recently gained a large spike in popularity and it appears that it has no intention of stopping now. The game we are talking about is titled Don't Starve Together and today we will be taking a closer look at it so sit back, relax and join us as we put Don't Starve Together under the microscope.
Don't Starve Together is an indie survival game that was developed by Klei Entertainment and released during the year of 2016. The game is not a sequel but it takes inspiration and its design from its predecessor and vastly improves upon it. The inclusion of multiplayer really takes this game to the new level where the player needs to focus not just on surviving themselves but taking care of their teammates all while contributing to the mutual base.
The game has a player choose one of the characters who all have unique mechanics and puts them in a mysterious world in which they are tasked with surviving by collecting and crafting various items and tools while using everything at their disposal. Players can scavenge the lands, craft, hunt, make bases and a lot more all while protecting themselves from monsters, spiders and of course the dark. The goal is to survive hunger, harsh temperatures and wild beasts for as long as you can while the season's and the environment around you change.
When it comes to combat, Don't Starve Together doesn't feature a complicated system. The combat is as simple as it can get. Find or craft a weapon, equip it and hit things with it. And while the combat mechanics are simple, the enemies that you will encounter are not. There is a plethora of different enemies that vary in strength and while some of them will die with a couple of blows from your weapon, most of them are overpowered with massive amounts of health that will require a group of people to take down or complicated kiting strategies, or even pitting different enemies against each other.
As far as the graphics go, the design is pretty simple but very pleasant to look at and truly gives meaning to the phrase "Less is more". The art style is cartoonish and has the appearance of being drawn by hand which definitely makes the game look and feel unique, and really fits with the lore and the universe of the game.
Overall the Don't Starve Together is a fun and interesting game, as well as difficult which is not the impression that we get upon the first glance the game. Although it can be enjoyed as a single-player game, it is better-experienced wit ha group of friends, however, while it is easier to deal with the enemies in a larger group, the difficulty of the survival aspect increases as you need more supplies and materials.

Should quarrying take place in areas of natural beauty such as the Yorkshire Dales National Park?
It is easy to say that quarrying should be prohibited, but this is a complex question without a simple answer. There is a potential conflict between the philosophy of having National Parks and quarrying.
However, when it comes to whether quarrying should be allowed in areas of national beauty, such as the Yorkshire Dales, there are pros and cons.
Quarrying is important to the local economy: currently about 2.6 million tonnes per year (2016) is extracted in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and this is worth more than £20 million, based on average quarry gate prices. It also provides employment in an area that may otherwise have a high unemployment rate.
The crags and cliffs of old quarries are used as nesting sites for birds, and rare plants also grow here where sheep and rabbits cannot graze them. The shortage of water on the steep slopes means that certain plants grow here ('xerophytic' plants such as hairy rockcress and rock rose) and ferns colonise damp crevices.
The extraction industry can be visually intrusive. In the past, most quarries were on a small scale and opened for a short period when a barn, house or dry-stone wall had to be constructed. Over time quarries became larger and therefore more visible. Today, many quarry operators have taken significant steps to screen quarry workings with soil or rock but older, upper cliffs are difficult to hide.
The extraction industry creates dust and noise. Water is used to suppress dust; plant or equipment can be enclosed to reduce both dust and noise and screening by soil or rock also reduces noise.
The lorries that carry away the stone add to traffic congestion on narrow roads that were not built for heavy use. Quarry operators will prefer to use rail connections wherever possible.
It is clear that a balance must be maintained and the environment carefully managed. It is for this reason that quarrying in the National Park is carefully controlled and before permission is given for further extraction, high priority is given to safeguarding the landscape.
In some cases the original permission to quarry was given over 50 years ago, at a time when environmental parameters were not given such high importance as they are today and when, immediately after the Second World War, resources for building and manufacturing were in great demand. If these quarries are still active today their permission will have been reviewed and updated.
Most quarrying companies today are fully aware of their responsibilities to the environment, but ultimately they are in business to make a profit and therefore mitigation measures have to be reasonable.
Does the stone have to come from the Yorkshire Dales or is there another economical source?
The stone from the Yorkshire Dales is transported to industry and construction sites across the UK, with just 16 per cent remaining within the county of North Yorkshire. It is quite expensive to move bulk commodities such as this and therefore it is only transported where necessary.
All minerals can only be worked where they naturally occur. This essential resource needs to be extracted from somewhere and that cannot be just anywhere. Wherever it is extracted, it will cause similar environmental impacts.
Closure would just problems from one area to another.
What would happen to the local economy if quarrying were refused?
Closure would result in considerable unemployment and the local economy would be damaged.

Can the quarry be disguised or hidden?
Quarry owners are aware of the importance of the landscape and spend millions of pounds on environmental improvement.
Landscaping is carried out, embankments are built and native broad-leaf trees are planted in an attempt to hide the machinery and quarries. Old machinery are removed at the end of their lives.
Could the quarry be used for the benefit of the local population and tourists once quarrying has ended?
Plans are made to fill or hide quarries as far as possible at the end of their lives. It is sometimes possible to use a restored quarry for the benefit of the local population and tourists, for example by creating a lake for recreation.
How can road congestion be improved?
Most of the stone has to be removed by heavy lorries, so some additional traffic is inevitable. Removal of the stone by train is preferred in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and a considerable investment by one quarry company has recently connected two quarries to the rail network.
To what extent will dust and noise disturb residents and tourists?
Quarries are very dusty and the dust has to be controlled, usually by water. If the dust escapes into the surrounding countryside, it causes pollution by covering the leaves of plants. This prevents photosynthesis. There is also the risk of noise pollution from the quarrying machinery. Quarry owners are aware of the importance of the environment and spend considerable amounts of money on environment protection, improvement and monitoring.
Is pollution of local water courses, ponds, etc. a danger?
Quarrying can cause water pollution, for example through the emission of suspended solids. Consequently, all water emissions from quarries are strictly controlled to reduce the risk.


Enclosed below are a couple examples of stimulus bill spending on forest thinning. While reading consider this: Depression-era conservation corp forest thinning created many jobs in the name of FDR's New Deal.
So in the name of what… is Obama's forest thinning funds addressing current joblessness?
And is Obama's stimulus really creating jobs, or… is the stimulus keeping a float an industry in need of major restructuring? Most important what happened to the forests that were thinned back during the great depression? Did the thinning help those forests? From a utilitarian view the answer is yes. From an ecologic view those younger thinned forests were impacted by natural shaping forces of fire, storm, floods, disease and changing geology. But even more likely the depression-era thinned forests were swept up in a less than natural force of civilization building.

Vulnerable populations across Syria and Iraq are watching to see who is most committed to helping them: the Islamic State or the governments and other nations. The most active agencies on the ground, and by extension the most knowledgeable of current conditions, are aid groups and other non-governmental organizations. There is serious concern that the West and other countries with the resources to help are growing increasingly disinterested and have moved on to focusing on other issues. The need to provide immediate care and long-term support for the massive numbers of people whose lives and societies have been upended by years of war and terror is a humanitarian obligation for the entire international community. The 'fight' to liberate people from the grip of the Islamic State must continue in the camps and in the villages and towns the group once controlled.According to nearly every observable measure, it is both myopic and counterproductive for the U.S. and others to scale back humanitarian aid and assistance now, when a show of empathy and support has the potential to make a significant soft power impact, while also addressing specific human security challenges. While leaders in Western capitals offer self-aggrandizing congratulatory messages for 'defeating' the caliphate, Islamic State fighters are seeking ways to capitalize on the suffering in these camps to rejuvenate their organization. In Iraq, IS cells have assassinated tribal chiefs and mounted impressive displays of force around Hawija.
Beyond the serious humanitarian crises facing both Iraq and Syria, there are other issues that need to be dealt with to prevent the Islamic State from enjoying a resurgence. Although no one can be quite certain of the number, it is believed that tends of thousands of Iraqis and Syrians are being held in detention centers, with no prospect of release. As happened before with Camp Bucca, these detention centers are becoming breeding grounds for radicalization. There is also a major risk of IS-engineered prison break attempts, as occurred in early April in Derik in northeastern Syria. Furthermore, as Iraq moves to the 'hold' phase of 'clear-hold-build'-style counterinsurgency, the presence of Popular Mobilization Forces in Kirkuk, Ramadi, and Fallujah has fueled sectarian resentment among local populations. Sunnis remain bitter over what they perceive as the overly draconian 'anti-terror' legislation and multiple security forces acting independently, relying on multiple 'wanted lists' of potential suspects accused of an array of crimes, which some have likened to 'score settling' resulting from tribal feuds. The same grievances that locals in Iraq harbored in 2013-2014 have been suppressed, but never actually addressed, and there is widespread concern that the Iraqi government and security forces will return to the very same practices that previously fueled tensions.

TDoR: I Will Not List The Names of The Dead, I Will Honor Them
November 20, 2018 Brennan Bogert
Remember queer and trans desire and joy.
I don't remember the first name I wrote down. I don't even remember when I started this morbid habit in the first place. Maybe the first one was TeeTee Dangerfield. Or maybe it was Gwynevere River Song. I remember their singular face in front of a celestial landscape. Or maybe, maybe it was Kiwi Herring. I had to learn her beautiful name from a report of her death—it felt so wrong to learn it in that way—and it was associated with a number, so I wrote it down. I wrote down the date they died, the way they died, and the number associated with their dying. Name, number, cause of death. Name, number, cause of death. Name, number cause of death. It is quite a list. But no, I won't show it to you.
It's not because I don't want to but because I added the same information to that list every time I read about or was told about another dead trans person until I couldn't anymore. I wrote the same information down every time, and every time I did, I reenacted that violence. And after all that time I spent at my desk, over that list, looking down at the five-inch-long graves I had made for them in my Moleskine, I still can't tell you who came first or anything about who they were as people because that is not the kind of information that gets recorded on these lists.
And lists like it are all over. No doubt, today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance those lists are spread even more. Not that that's a bad thing—in fact, it's great, it means people are noticing—but I can't be one to write another list like that. I just can't.
When I first agreed to write this article, several months ago, I thought it would be good for me, for the dead, for you, a member of my queer/gay/trans community. Now I'm not so sure. I was in a hard position then. I was recently out of work, desperate for money to finance a move across the country, and I thought, here is a service I can provide and there will be payment that will be worth it, payment that will help me survive, and go to school, and—eventually—be happy. Now that seems wrong to me, too cynical, to trade tragedy for tuition, to invest someone else's life for my own happiness.
When I first agreed to write this article, I thought I would write about the others who keep lists like this. Every one of us who knows someone who has suffered or was killed by the incredible violence of the state, or police, or men, or transphobia (both internalized and manifested), or themselves, keeps another list like this in the privacy of their own mind. I intended to write about how, in the language of logical argument, or also means and. I thought I would, but I realize now that I cannot because I am not here to tell you how many of our neighbors, parents, friends, lovers, artists, teachers, and spouses died. I'm not here to tell you how they died or how the violence of a bigot's fists is tied to comedians and politicians on TV, the inherent violences of American reality. I am here to tell you that our community is dying, has died. The statistics of how and when are good for study, but I am not a researcher today. Today I am a mourner.
The urge to write the list, when I was able to write, came from the same instinct for elegy that has existed for as long as we have known names and language and death. It's an instinct that has existed for as long as we've had the need to catalog the food we have supplied for winter, to track the money we have in our accounts, to keep track of those things that keep us going in a capitalist world that often would rather we not.
The list came out of a place of connection and outrage. It came from watching Janelle Monae sing and scream Hell You Talmbout. It's the instinct in the refrain and rebuttal that is "say his name!" It's the instinct that gave us the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It's the instinct that gave us Black Lives Matter.
But listing is not an instinct I want to enact anymore.
Or maybe it is. Some days it's hard to know, but I think what I really want is to not list names or reenact the tragedies that befell them but to literally re-member their bodies and make them live again. Who wouldn't do that, if they could? Who doesn't, on some level, wish for that? But since it's impossible the best I can do is try to make something beautiful in memory of them. That is the only ethical way I can write this essay and be paid for it without profiting from a system that hurts trans people and seeks to eliminate trans happiness, trans success, and trans desire at all costs.
When I agreed, several months ago, to write this article, I thought I would add one more list to that list of lists. But then one night I hopped on the train with my partner and went to the book launch for sam sax's poetry collection, Bury It. That book made me realize that I could not simply type up a list without talking about what it felt like to write it. And I could not talk about the deaths of other queer and trans people without talking about queer and trans desire and joy. Because our dead did not live lives without those things, because there is no transgender narrative that is not about the joy of being and coming.
In sam's poem, "Politics of Elegy" he writes,
like anyone i can make a list of the dead
i can make them my dead by making the list
i can write my name then name names below it
i can craft & obfuscate & collapse
i can publish it
i can ask 'who of us is left to tell their story?'
And yes, that's how I feel now. Even thinking about writing their names in my notebook—which used to give me such a sense of prayer, like a litany—now makes me feel like my stomach is full of eggs ready to hatch something terrible. Like I am about to collapse. I want to tell their stories, and it's a story that begins in the gut, but it's a story that often— by the time I write it—is tied to profit. I will not leave their bodies to rot in that way.
Sam goes on to say that "eulogy from the greek means praise/ praise from the latin means price/ every public dirge is burning capital." I don't know why I didn't believe him about the history, but I googled it. I guess I'm always curious about etymology, curious about the history of our language and the baggage of the things we say, and skeptical too—I'm working on it—but anyway he's right. And I feel it, viscerally, when he says,
i was paid a thousand dollars for writing a poem about a dead man who hated me
i was paid & each dollar is a ghost haunting my wallet
i was paid & i am trading his body for bags of food
i am never more dangerous than inside
the arms of a man
who will die
before me
And this is why I will not write their names for you.
Remember how I mentioned queer and trans desire and joy? I repeat it because I want you to feel it. I want us to remember how it feels.
I felt it that night when I got on the train with my partner, when we were holding hands and walking to Housing Works, when we were listening to sam and Hieu Minh Nguyen, Paul Tran, and Francine J Harris read their work while celebrating the creations of others—these were moments of queer and trans joy. It is the joy of living in a present that is in conversation with the past and becoming something else. And listen, Bury It is largely a book of elegies, but that does not mean naming names and that does not mean suffering. In fact, it means the opposite. It means knowing what came before us, knowing who came before us, and loving them, and letting them lay, without killing them all over again by reenacting that violence, by making them statistics.
So, let's all take a moment, and read those lists, and let those names trickle over our tongues. Hell, let's go out and yell them so that everyone hears and no one cannot listen, so no one can reduce those names to statistics or gruesome reenactments. I want a future where we will not have to list any more names. Those lists are the foundation we will build our future on. They are the litany of our lovers. They are the names of our saints.

Unsuccessful people make decisions based on their current situation; successful people make decisions based on where they want to be.
Making a big life change is pretty scary. But, know what's even scarier? Regret.
Do you make rash decisions only to regret them later? Improve your decision making skills by keeping the following things in mind.
Good decisions arise from a good understanding of the situation. Make sure you have all the facts before making a decision.
Always consider the advantages and disadvantages. Make the right decision by weighing the advantages against the disadvantages.
Realize that there is no such thing as an ideal decision. Don't waste your time vacillating. Make up your mind then take action.


Medicare has changed how it reimburses physicians. Launched in 2017, the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is intended to emphasize value over volume. It is the most significant shift in Medicare's physician payment system since 1997. Your Academy will help you succeed throughout this transformation.
Under the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System, CMS evaluates providers' performance based on four weighted categories in 2019. See our analysis of the final rule for 2019.
The Academy's physician leaders are working with policymakers in Washington, D.C., to secure ophthalmologists' success under the new system.
We continue to identify and address parts of the program that don't work for ophthalmologists. We're working with medicine, Congress and federal regulators to ensure the system supports you and your patients.
Read about what's new for MIPS in 2019.
For a brief summary, see the 2018 vs. 2019 chart.
The EyeNet 2019 MIPS Primer will be available in late Spring 2019.
EyeNet's 2019 MIPS resources are available here.
Where it came from: Congress passed sweeping reform under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) to replace the sustainable growth rate.
What this policy does: It ties Medicare payments to quality and value.
When it takes effect: Performance evaluation began in 2017, with pay adjustments in 2019.
Fee-for-service option: Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), which combines existing quality-reporting programs with some new elements. Most ophthalmologists will likely have to use this option.
Alternative payment model option: These new approaches to paying for the medical care of Medicare patients incentivize quality and value. Few qualifying models currently exist for ophthalmologists.

SOURCE CODE: The TV Show | Birth.Movies.Death.
Duncan Jones' second feature makes the quantum leap into TV.
Duncan Jones' Source Code had Jake Gyllenhaal jumping into the reality of a dead man 8 minutes before the terrorist explosion that killed him. The mission: use those 8 minutes to find out who blew up the train, and then use that information to stop further attacks.
Now Grey's Anatomy producer Mark Gordon (who also produced the movie) has sold the concept to CBS as a TV show. The Hollywood Reporter breaks the news but doesn't give many other details, such as how the Source Code technology of the film will be used in the show - will it be a cop show, where detectives go into the reality of a murder victim 8 minutes before they die (this makes it seem like case should be quite open and shut)? Will it be more terrorist stuff? Is it going to get closer to Quantum Leap (an influence the movie homages very directly)? And will Duncan Jones have a hand in the show? The Reporter says that it's three former federal agents who go into 'tragic events,' but that could just be a show about them reliving my prom.
And also, spoiler coming: will the show continue the conceit of having the jumper be a horrifically mutilated basket case? That would actually be interesting.


Brought to you by Patrick Brennan at The Corner, the Sunday morning shows had the usual parade of administration reps out there explaining why things aren't anywhere near as craptastic as your lying eyes might lead you to believe. One of them was the Homeland Security chair, Mike Rogers, who sat down with Candy Crawley on CNN to discuss the latest round of NSA spying stories, particularly where it comes to our allies. The real problem, you see, is that these folks just don't understand that we're doing it for their own good.
That's just wrong. And now you've created an international incident on something that's absolutely wrong and incorrect. That's why need to be very careful as we move forward in this debate and this discussion.
Well, fair enough I suppose. I don't think we're expecting the likes of Snowden and Greenwald to grasp all the nuances of the filched material. But that's also a bit like the manager of Ford's Theatre strenuously explaining that the first act of the play was produced perfectly until some jerk shot Lincoln. Other pressing questions, such as tapping the German Chancellor's cell phone are still sitting out on the table and thus far, nobody from the administration seems to have much to say.
Perhaps it's time to just say what I think most people were aware of – for the most part, anyway – and come clean. Personally, I'm a complete hypocrite on this subject and I'm fine with that. I don't want any of our alleged allies spying on us, and when we catch them at it there need to be repercussions. By contrast, we need to stay on top of world affairs, so we may need to gather intel from any number of sources, including our friends. I just expect us to be better at it (read: less likely to get caught) and not go bragging about it. And if we do get caught, you mumble a few explanations and get on with your life.

Busting the myth of a failed meritocracy
Saturday, 01 May 2021 | Dipayan Pal
At a time when quality employment has dried up and there is growing inequality, we need to scrutinise the elitist foundations of meritocratic ideals and policy
Ever since Michael Young coined the term 'Meritocracy' in his brilliantly dystopian portrayal in 'The Rise of Meritocracy' in 1958, it has become a leading social ideal of our times. Meritocratic standards gave us the promise of breaking down established hierarchies of privilege. Meritocracy has been seen as an instrument of upward social mobility as it promises an even playing field — rewarding talent, ability, effort and hard work, thereby downplaying the role of one's social position and wealth as determined by the lottery of birth. However, in reality, it has become a smokescreen for inequality favouring the elite in contemporary times.
Meritocracy has been the top agenda of political parties across the spectrum for decades since people find it the most convincing way to achieve an egalitarian society. When we ruminate about meritocracy as the best alternative way for a community to function, we also must consider that merit largely depends on one's socio-economic status, gender and family. Merit is a product of privilege and has taken the shape of "neo-inheritance." Wealthy parents pass their privilege to their children. In the old-world order, people inherited wealth, which allowed them to produce more wealth; in the current system, parents have to have succeeded at the human capital game to concoct their child's human capital to be competitive.
Research has shown that children of meritocratically successful parents always have an edge in building skills that will allow them to succeed in life since the elite get their children admitted to the best educational institutions, which were seen as passports to the best jobs and elite positions.
This "hereditary meritocracy" has given rise to this new "meritocratic aristocracy." Thus, it takes the form of a vicious cycle in which educational accomplishments and wealth reinforce each other from one generation to the next.
People often speak about "equality of opportunity" as the big Indian aspiration. But having anything close to equal opportunity would require a severe radical re-engineering of our society from top to bottom as access to resources remains a fundamental issue. As long as there are significant wealth inequalities, there will be colossal differences in children's opportunities. The place where an individual is born, the community they grew up in and the institutions they attend shapes them. The wide disparities in every sphere of life are considerably evident in the Indian context. Suppose a child had miserable primary schooling, no matter which institution s/he later attends, s/he won't be able to do the best because of the poor foundation. No matter what admissions criteria are set, affluent children will unequivocally have the advantage. If we focus on entrance examinations, parents will pay for extra-tutoring and entrance preparation courses. If we concentrate instead on "holistic" or "all-round" qualities. Certainly, wealth always confers a greater capacity to proffer privileged children the edge over other people's children in terms of opportunities and resources. If we want anything resembling a "meritocracy" in the truest sense of the term, we would probably have to start by institutionalising full egalitarian communism.
Not just opportunities, "old boys club" of elite networks as a form of lobbying in upper echelons (closed-door policies) and absence of professors from marginalised communities in leading academic and research institutions in India (despite having constitutionally mandated affirmative action policies) show the deep-embedded flaws in the system.
We have divided our society into winners and losers where the cost of even coming second is unfortunately too high. In fact, in the popular sitcom 'Breaking Bad', being brilliant at chemistry was not enough to guarantee mainstream career progression or survival.
These structural inequalities present in the system further deepen class consciousness (as education reinforces class lines) wherein the elite fail to feel the wind of privilege as they believe they are entitled to their privilege, and those born into disadvantage are convinced they have themselves to blame for their inadequacy to overcome the sizeable barriers to social mobility.
The elite, plagued by their insecurities perpetuate this as it licences them to view themselves as productive geniuses offering moral assurance and personal flattery. Recent research in neuroscience and psychology suggests that "believing in meritocracy makes people more selfish, less self-critical and even more prone to acting in discriminatory ways."
Still, people find the notion of meritocracy appealing: It carries with it the idea of moving beyond where you start in life. However, the ideal has failed. We all need to acknowledge these deep structural inequalities and that everyone in this world does not have the same starting point. At a time when quality employment has dried up, and there is growing inequality, we need to scrutinise the elitist foundations of meritocratic ideals and meritocratic policy practice bringing about reforms like equalising education to ensure that the system is just and fair, where everyone gets equal opportunities to flourish, achieving social mobility and social solidarity in the long run.
