Dominique Strauss-Kahn fails to have kiss-and-tell book banned
Former IMF chief did win a court order insisting a card outlining his objections should be placed inside every copy of the book
[17 May 2011] Bernard-Henri Lévy defends Dominique Strauss-Kahn
Lévy, a French philosopher, says that his friend Strauss-Kahn 'bears no resemblance to this monster being described' [2013]'I don't like the donkey kick delivered to the "immensely rich" and "ambitious" woman who, for having schemed to become the wife of a president, is supposedly the truly guilty party, the one responsible for everything—an idiotic portrayal and, for anyone who knows or has observed the woman in question, an obscene accusation
In Beauty and the Beast, due to be released on February 27, Iacub says she had a relationship with Strauss-Kahn from January to August 2012, in the midst of the scandal over accusations he sexually assaulted a New York hotel maid the previous year.
She doesn't name Strauss-Kahn in the book, but she told Le Nouvel Observateur magazine that it was about him, while admitting that she had mixed fiction with reality.
Strauss-Kahn's lawyers said they will on February 26 seek the seizure of the books after suing Iacub and her publisher Stock for an attack on his private life.
If that is not allowed, they will seek for every copy of the book to carry an insert, lawyers Richard Malka and Jean Veil said, without giving details on what they want it to say.
Strauss-Kahn, who has called the book an "abomination", is seeking 100,000 euros ($132,300) in damages and compensation from Iacub and Stock, and a similar amount from Le Nouvel Observateur.
Lawyers for Stock and Le Nouvel Observateur declined to comment on the suit, which will go before a Paris judge on February 26.
While the head of the IMF struck Iacub as a rather very rightwing politician, the sybarite in him was a true revolutionary, copulating equally with the poor and the ugly, the beautiful and the powerful
Dominique Strauss-Kahn reacted strongly after the publication Le Nouvel Observateur of excerpts from the book columnist Marcela Iacub the connection she had with him in 2012 .. In a letter to the founder of the weekly, Jean Daniel, DSK says "before a double disgust." To begin with, "Whatever causes the behavior of a woman who seduced to write a book, relying on feelings of love to exploit financially." He criticizes the "fantasy nature of the story and therefore incorrect" attacking "an attack contemptible in (his) privacy and human dignity." [Google translation]

Carlton Affaire: DSK suspected of being the "instigator" of the network Judges in the Lille investigation say accordig to Le Figaro. 'The judges felt that serious corroborating evidence make likely the effective and decisive participation of Dominique Strauss Kahn in acts of pimping,' says Le Figaro.
[May 22 '12]
French daily Liberation reported this month that two Belgian prostitutes questioned in the Lille probe described Strauss-Kahn as using violence during sex at the W Hotel in Washington and forcing a sexual act on her despite her protests.
Citing leaked transcripts of witness testimony to Belgian police, also involved in the probe, Liberation cited one of the prostitutes as saying that Strauss-Kahn "used force, he held down my hands, he pulled my hair, he hurt me." The woman is quoted as testifying that another man held her hands down while Strauss-Kahn assaulted her.

These testimonies were collected by the Belgian police last December, as part of an agreement with the French justice.

Heard December 5, 2011 by the Belgian police – as part of an agreement with the French justice – she says that DSK would "use of force, that is to say, he held my hands. He pulled my hair, it hurt me. I weigh 50 kilos, it is heavier. "
Always according to his account of the minutes, DSK then tries to sodomize. "I refused and told her no, I do not want. I tried to get loose but it was complicated because it was on me and it is very heavy […]. Admittedly, I did not yell, but I made it clear that I did not want to repeatedly aloud. "
The allegations are said to have come to light from evidence given by a Belgian prostitute who told Belgian police that she was forced into certain acts of non-consensual sex while in Washington on 16 December 2010. She has not filed a complaint.
"I didn't scream but I said clearly and loudly that I didn't want to," the woman is said to have testified.
But a second Belgian prostitute has called her account of events into question, in an interview with French media.
Police in Washington say they have checked their records for 16 December at the city's W hotel, named by media as the hotel involved, and have found no reports detailing allegations of such activity.

In May 2012, during the hard-fought elections for France's National Assembly, when Trierweiler, a heavy Twitter user, tweeted her support for a candidate who was running against Ségolène Royal, the mother of Hollande's four children, with whom he lived for many years (and whom he finally left for Trierweiler). Royal lost the race, dashing Hollande's hopes for having her as an ally in the fractious parliament.
Though Trierweiler tried hard to make amends for her mistake in subsequent posts, the tweet was never forgotten. As the months went on, the doubts about her emerged at odd moments. While Hollande was on a visit inside France one day, a woman in the crowd bluntly told him, "don't marry Valérie Trierweiler, we don't like her," leaving the president speechless; the video of the scene played heavily on French TV
Toute ma gratitude va à l'extraordinaire personnel de l'Elysée. Je n'oublierai jamais son dévouement ni l'émotion au moment du départ.
France's first lady, Valerie Trierweiler, sent a farewell message January 25 via Twitter to staff at the presidential palace, a move that comes after President Francois Hollande reportedly announced the couple is splitting up. "All my gratitude goes to the extraordinary people at the Élysées. I will never forget the devotion or emotion at the time of leaving," she wrote.
Valerie and Michelle
Valerie Trierweiler has already met the Obamas
Ms Trierweiler is travelling to India on January 26 support of the work of the French charity Action Against Hunger. . Her second marriage was to Denis Trierweiler, a sub-editor at Paris Match magazine, and a writer and academic. This marriage produced three children and divorce proceedings took three years (2007-2010).

Valerie Trierweiler has told friends that she expects to accompany Francois Hollande on his trip to Washington from 9 February.
Mobilier National, which is responsible for furnishing the official palace of the Republic and the various presidential residences denied published items, saying: " The National Furniture opposes categorically denied the rumor circulating on the internet regarding a supposed destruction of furniture at the Elysee Palace. This rumor is based on totally false elements . "
Hollande, who has four children from a previous relationship with fellow Socialist politician Segolene Royal, has reportedly been advised to be a "bachelor president" while the public digests the news of the affair.
"If there must be a split, it must be dignified and elegant regarding Valerie Trierweiler," one of Hollande's advisers reportedly told French newspaper Le Figaro Monday. "And above all, Julie Gayet mustn't instantly move into the Elysee." Then again…
Collapsed and humiliated, she found herself caught between her huge distress and his impetuosity, her questions about her future and her anger. Today, Valérie Trierweiler is perhaps at the end of a path. She was attracted to the lure of power. She learned she acted, she suffered, she knows hardness and cruelty of public life.
Valérie Trierweiler left Saturday the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, where she stayed for eight days. Story of a difficult week.
More than a week cloistered in a room of the Salpêtrière, surrounded by guards and nurses, with her iPhone for company! Very dejected, voltage at half-mast, she dined on the ham-shells of the hospital, not the little delicacies of the Elysee. She saw almost no one except her son, the youngest, everyday, her mother and brother from time to time.
Tuesday from her bed she watched the press conference of the President of the Republic on the mini-screen of her iPhone, because her room had no TV or iPad. This is not to say that she was disappointed by the necessity he had to evade the problem. She thought for a moment to attend this conference. The doctors have dissuaded. Too weak. No need to vanish amid flashes and microphones.
Thursday, Valérie Trierweiler told her son she wanted at all costs to leave the hospital to resume her life. She was better. But curiously, late Friday morning, her son was no longer welcome at his bedside. Conspicuously absent, she seemed asleep very deeply. His son explodes, concerned with the physician. She was told that her mother needs rest.
The previous evening, Thursday 21 am at 15 hours, Francois Hollande, who still remains her official companion visited her for half an hour. They did not jumped into each other's arms, that is no longer there. He told her he "needed time". This is why they have agreed for her to stay at La Lanterne "pending." Waiting for what? This is the problem.
With 19 months to run in as undefined First Lady under the eyes of French and under the scrutiny of the world press, with many public appearances, with the drivers, assistants, bodyguards, dresses fashion function, it will be difficult descending into everyday life. Become anonymous? Impossible! Valerie never wanted to let go of her original job: Articles for Paris Match. An anchor. A kind of insurance? The apartment on rue Cauchy in the 15th where the couple lived before the election is in the name of Francois Hollande. He will have his home in it? Imagine the anxiety.
It will take time, years, to collect the most violent shock of his life: the deception of the man who was his companion for 8 years. The worst: read in the press that the story with Julie Gayet had begun before the election … Valerie oscillates between depression and rage.
WHY THIS HOSPITAL?
Upon publication of pictures of "Closer" after a tough call – confessions – with François Hollande, she would have taken some sleeping pills, just to find some respite from a sleep that could not, she may be swallowed a tablet too. But it is not the mother of three boys, hardworking, very rooted in reality that will make a suicide attempt. The next day she wakes up in the Elysée, nauseous, unwell, it would be worse. "Services" the Elysee advised her to be hospitalized, to create distance.
Ideally, the Presidency wished not to publicize her hospitalization but Valérie Trierweiler wasfirm that the information leaked. Contrary to what you read, Ségolène Royal has never gone to visit Valerie at the Salpetriere, she let go, telling a confidante that "Francis did not know howto be true." Sex is a dividend of power? Or just a taste for the secret love? At the Elysee, they already tried to turn the page …
Eight days, Valerie finds herself alone to handle everything. Collapsed and humiliated, she found herself caught between her huge distress and his impetuosity, her questions about her future and her anger. Today, Valérie Trierweiler is perhaps at the end of a path. She wasattracted to the lure of power. She learned she acted, she suffered, she knows hardness and cruelty of public life. A lock needs to turn slowly regain a foothold …
January 12]
'First Lady' has blues
The Elysée Palace said that Ms Trierweiler, 49, had suffered a "severe case of the blues" last Friday after Closer published an article about the alleged affair with Julie Gayet. She was taken to a Paris hospital and is expected to remain until January 12.
'Around New Year's Day, French President Francois Hollande, a helmeted head of state, joined Juliet Gayet, the actress, at her apartment, where he has got into the habit of spending the night,' Closer wrote on its website. Hollande routinely drives through Paris on his scooter to spend the night with his 41-year-old mistress.
[July 18 2011]
Anne Mansouret is an elected local official for the Socialist party
According to a report by the French magazine L'Express, Mansouret recently revealed to the special prosecutor investigating Tristane's case that she had a very real, very messy reason for advising her daughter as she did: her own sexual past with DSK.
Mansouret told the prosecutor that she had a single, violent sexual encounter that took place in the OECD building in Paris, where DSK worked as special advisor to the organization's Secretary General. L'Express in french a Socialist Party politician, François Hollande, took an interest in the matter. according to Le Nouvel Observateur
Investigators interviewed Tristane Banon's mother, Anne Mansouret July 13, who said she collected her daughter from the scene of the alleged assault in a state of shock. Anne Mansouret is an elected local official for the Socialist party, and has said that senior members of the party were made aware of the assault.

The Angry Dorito: The John Deere Rotary Engine
Jan. 06, 2022 • Interesting Iron
A John Deere rotary engine…yep, that was a thing for a while.
Wait…what? Rotary power? I thought those were for little import cars and stuff.
You're right…sorta.
Stick with me. We'll get into it.
First, let's talk about this little 2950 MFWD, since it's marginally related to the story.
This old workhorse has been pulling a feeder wagon on a northeast Iowa farm for the past 37 years! Hit the photo to get all the details and see 44 more photos!

So here's the thing about row-crop SoundGard tractors that don't have a model number starting with 4; they were all built in Mannheim, Germany. They were very successful over in Europe, as their footprint was a pretty good fit for some of the smaller farming operations over there. However, they also sold pretty well here in the States. They were a pretty handy size for utility, secondary tractor-type stuff. You'll often find them with a loader or a bale spear, too. Lots of farmers used them to move bales around or for snow removal in the winter (we had a 2555, and it always worked pretty well for that).
The Bad Rap
At any rate, these tractors often get kind of a bad rap in Deere circles. Furthermore, I've heard more than a few folks say stuff like, "It's not a real Deere if it didn't come from Waterloo or Dubuque," and plenty of other stuff like that. If you're in that camp, I'm sorry to burst your bubble…but you're wrong. Just because the model number doesn't start with a 4 doesn't make it a flaming pile. It's all about perspective. Heck, up until about the time I graduated from college and moved out to Iowa, our 2555 was the workhorse! It was a pretty darn good tractor for us! (There again, though…we bought it because it fit the purpose. We didn't need big tractors!)
Some like to claim that they're not well-built, and prone to all manner of failures. They say that they'll nickel and dime you to death. But as with most tractors, a lot of it comes down to who owned the tractor, and how well they took care of it. (I know that a few of the Mannheim tractors are prone to premature hydraulic failure, but for some reason I think that was more of a 40-series problem.)
The 2950 you can buy on the 19th
This particular 2950 is 39 years old, and has lived 37 of 'em at the same farm in Lamont, IA! While it's not technically a one-owner tractor, it may as well be. The consignor used it primarily for dragging a feed wagon for his cattle. It may not look like much, but from what the auctioneer tells us, it's been quite well-maintained for the most part. Always got service and maintenance on schedule, for the most part (the A/C lines need to be replaced – I don't know if that's a recent issue or if it's been broken for a while). The rubber's good, it starts up, runs and drives fine, and the MFWD works well, too. Really and truly, I think this tractor likely just needs a good, thorough cleaning and some interior work.
What'll it bring?
I think $14-15K probably brings this one home. It's not perfect, but it's also not a basketcase. It's been well maintained according to the auctioneer, but at over 12,000 hours, it could potentially be ready for an overhaul. That could scare buyers away. However, parts are pretty easy to find for these tractors and they're not tremendously difficult to work on. I've been wrong plenty of times before, but I feel reasonably confident in a $14-15K estimate. We'll find out in a few weeks!
Ryan's Estimate: $14-15K

Deere & The Angry Dorito
Okay Interesting Iron guy…what's up with this angry Dorito thing? Quit stalling! *drums fingers impatiently*
When we think of engines, we all think of the typical design. Inline six, V8, four-banger…whatever. We all think of a more or less conventional push-rod design. Air & fuel go in, pistons go up and down, air & fuel explodes, various things rotate, rinse and repeat. Right? That's the super-simple version of a very complex process with at least 40 moving parts. All of those moving parts need to move in the right direction at the right time. If they don't, engines make bad noises, four letter words are yelled, and the day pretty much comes to a grinding halt.
But what if there was another engine option? One that still burned flammable fuels, but only had two moving parts?
There is. It's called the Wankel Rotary Engine, and it's what the John Deere rotary engine was based on.
Here's what it looks like in cross-section.
Felix Wankel's engine design really is that simple. The rotor spins, essentially creating three chambers. One for air & fuel, one for the combustion, and one to shove the exhaust back out. Literally the only moving parts of a single-rotor engine are the triangular-shaped rotor and the shaft! Super-simple!
The engine was dreamed up (literally – he claimed to have seen it in a dream) by Felix Wankel when he was just a teenager in Germany. It took him some time to get it to work, and his progress was hampered by WWII (French soldiers destroyed his shop), but eventually he got it to work in 1957. At the time he was working for a German company called NSU. The engine was licensed a year later to Curtiss-Wright (an aircraft engine company), and after that, auto manufacturers basically lined up to do the same. Over the next twenty years, the Wankel design was used in a handful of different applications, ranging from cars to generators to military application. Some were successful, some weren't. (More on that in a bit.)
Skip forward a couple decades…
In 1983, Deere bought patent rights from Curtiss-Wright, because they wanted to experiment with Wankel's design and see if they could improve it and find a way to use it in military applications for the government. The purchase put the company in the driver's seat for US-based production, and furthermore, the package came with pre-existing experimental stuff that they could improve upon right out of the gate. Furthermore, since they already plenty of manufacturing facilities in place, when the time was right, they'd be ready to tool up for production.
Thus, the John Deere Rotary Engine Division was born. They called it REDIV for short.
The prototypes of the John Deere rotary engine was very cool, because it coupled Deere's two-cylinder past with the future. The major enhancement they added was the ability to burn a bunch of different types of fuel in the same engine; diesel, kerosene, gasoline, jet fuel – even natural gas! They called it SCORE – Stratified Charge Omnivorous Rotary Engine. The engine used two injectors to deliver fuel in series coupled with the spark to ignite it (even when burning diesel fuel). That was the Stratified Charge part of the acronym. Omnivorous referred to the ability to burn multiple fuels, and the Rotary Engine part was self-explanatory.
Deere built a handful of different prototype sizes, but the SCORE 580 was the most successful. It was a two-rotor design that stacked two 5.8L rotors together in series running the same shaft. It made BIG power, too. Wankel engines are very smooth in operation, and those rotors will spin up really quickly. Even though they were considered low-RPM engines (3600 RPM in testing, I believe), the early prototypes made in excess of 500 horse on the dyno! Furthermore, they were very compact, and since they didn't have giant pistons and a crankshaft, they weighed next to nothing!
So if you're John Deere, and you've got a new prototype engine, what do you do with it? Shove it in a tractor, of course – even if it's not really meant for one! They chose a Mannheim-built 2950 MFWD to drop one of them in. The tractor you see below has a 1.3L 2-rotor design that made just about 100 horsepower. As you can see, it's a fair bit smaller than the 5.9L inline six that was normally shoehorned in the engine compartment!
As you can see, the engine takes up a LOT less space than the 2950's 5.9L inline six! (Photo courtesy of Octane Press, and the Mannisto Collection.)
The end goal was to sell these to the government for use in tanks and armed personnel carriers for the battlefield, but from what I gather, Deere also wanted to find things to do with these motors for consumer products. They built multiple different prototypes ranging from a 0.7L single-rotor (rated for 80 horse) up to a six-rotor design that was capable of well over 2200 horse!
So why didn't these things take off?
There's a handful of reasons. While the Wankel design was very simple and held a lot of benefits over piston powered engines, it wasn't perfect.
They weren't very efficient. The Wankel was a pretty low-compression design. If the combustion chamber didn't burn completely, the rotor would push unburnt fuel out the exhaust port. As such, it took more fuel (i.e., more costly), and if it didn't burn clean, it left carbon deposits on the sidewalls of the chamber.
They were capable of making tons of power and torque, but it all came at the top end of the tachometer – which is NOT where tractors and heavy tanks need it. (Imagine trying to pull a fully loaded grain cart with a tractor that only made torque at 5000 RPMs. You'd have to rev the motor to the moon, try not to dump the clutch, and pray that the transmission held together. That's probably an exaggerated example, but you get my point.)
Engines that run at high RPMs end up burning oil. Not good for emissions (which were starting to become a big deal at the time), and furthermore, if the oiling couldn't keep up (or the oil started to break down), the rotating assemblies got real hot. Like, weld-themselves-together hot. Deere never could find a fix for that.
By the spring of 1991, the John Deere Rotary Engine Division engineers concluded that their take on the Wankel design just wasn't going to work. It wasn't for lack of effort, though; for those 8 years, I'm told that REDIV was the place to work if you were an engineer. Deere gathered some of the best and brightest to work on the project alongside the Curtiss-Wright engineers who came with the deal. One of my friends works at Deere today, and several of her coworkers were involved in the project. They said that you could almost feel the energy when you walked in the door. They were genuinely pumped up to go to work every day. It was a brand new technology, and it was exciting to be part of it!
What happened to the 2950 and prototype SCORE 580s?
As I understand it, the tractor was scrapped. I don't believe that it exists today.
In 1991, the company sold the John Deere Rotary Engine Division and most all of its assets to a company called Rotary Power International, Inc. I believe a total of 80 employees went with it and continued searching for solutions that would make the design work. Unfortunately, the company went under about 20 years ago. There were only eight employees left when they folded, from what I understand.
As far as the engines go, most of them were destroyed. A few were saved for display purposes. There was, however, one fully functional two-rotor engine that didn't get destroyed. It was set up to run on natural gas more or less as a generator. It was sold in 1999 and ended up in what appears to be a private collection in Calgary. Apparently, the team at RPI had continued to turn up the wick on that one, because it dyno'd at over 1200 horse! Check it out!
I tried like heck to find some video of this thing running, but I don't think it's out there. (If I do find a video, I'll update this post!)
Uh…angry Dorito? Still waiting, Interesting Iron guy!
Oh yeah, that.
Remember I told you that these motors are really smooth, they rev really fast, and they make all their power at high RPM? Well, when they're built for racing, they make the most angry noises EVER.
All from Dorito-shaped rotors. Hence the term, "The Angry Dorito"… (I guess for the John Deere rotary engine, it would be multiple angry Doritos, and they'd be giant.)
Watch the first 45 seconds of this video and you'll see what I mean (and this is nowhere near the redline for this build).
Wankels haven't been entirely unsuccessful. Of all the auto manufacturers who licensed the design over the years, Mazda has had the most success. They used it in at least a half-dozen different cars (and a pickup truck, I think), but the one that carved this engine's place in history was the RX-7. They launched it in 1979 and it was pretty much an immediate hit. Because the car was so lightweight, the lack of low-RPM torque wasn't much of an issue. Over several generations, they created one of most-recognized sportscars on the planet. By the time Mazda pulled the plug in 2002, the RX-7's tiny motor (a whopping 1.3L of displacement) made about 280 horsepower!
The last-generation RX-7 is STILL on my dream car list. Oh my, this thing is gorgeous. (Photo: Louis Vig, Hoonigan.com)
But it wasn't just the RX-7 that succeeded. In 1991, Mazda became the first Japanese automaker to win the 24 hours of Le Mans – possibly the most demanding race in the world – using a 4-rotor engine in their 787B race car.
The Mazda 787B is still a marvel of modern engineering, and boy oh boy does she scream! (Photo: Kimio Ng, Mazda Media)
Rotary engines have their place…just not in tractors, tanks, or armored personnel carriers. I doubt we'll ever see another John Deere rotary engine again; as we saw just this week, their future goals are definitely moving towards autonomous farming and lowering emissions. The Wankel design isn't much good at either of those things.
It makes a heck of a race car engine, though!
I'm out for next week, but I know that the week after, I'll have a good one. Stay warm, and if you're indoors, why not browse tractors on Tractor Zoom?
Also, while I'm thinking of it, I need to pass along a thank-you to Lee Klancher and the team at Octane Press for the use of the photo of that prototype 2950 with the rotary motor in it. That photo appeared as part of a very cool little sidebar article about REDIV in John Deere Evolution, the brand new (and finally in stock) book about the history of John Deere! (I was honored to have been one of the co-authors of that book, too!) 350-some odd pages of all of the things that made Deere who they are today!
I was really humbled when Lee asked for my help in writing this book. Click the photo to go check it out in more detail! I'm really happy with the way it turned out!

A major conference is being planned to highlight how we aim to provide improved aftercare for patients who have been treated for cancer.
The aftercare conference will take place at The Christie on 16 January 2018 and will focus in particular on the Macmillan Recovery Package, a number of interventions designed to improve the quality of life for people recovering from cancer.
The event is aimed specifically at people affected by cancer – patients, former patients, their carers, families and friends – and we would like as many people as possible to hear about our ground-breaking work in this area.
Vanguard Innovation's aftercare project has focused on breast, prostate and colorectal cancer, and the conference will highlight progress in these 'pathways' in particular.
This is a free, all-day event in The Christie's state-of-the-art education centre, when people affected by cancer will have the opportunity to help us shape the development of new services, as well as hear the views of leading cancer specialists.
If you would like to attend, please follow this link.


Former Google search quality representative Murat Yatagan asked an SEO question to current Googler John Mueller. The question was a bit deep and posted in a very concise way on Twitter. If a site targets X and Y business but the number of X pages on the site is 30 times more than the number of Y pages, would that put the Y queries at an important disadvantage for ranking Y's queries?
John Mueller said no, it does not.
I am still amazed at how Murat pulled off asking that question in a 140 characters.
In short, if you have a site that targets two different topics for queries in Google. But the site has 30 times more content on one topic over the other, it doesn't signal to Google that the pages that target the other topic shouldn't rank as well.

China Smartphone Sales Shrink, Market 'Increasingly Saturated,' Report Says
By Frank Langfitt
Analysts say so many people in China already have smartphones, to sell more units, manufacturers will have to convince them to upgrade.
Smartphone sales in China contracted by about 4 percent year-on-year from January through March, according to International Data Corp., the American market analysis firm. Sales for the first quarter were just under 100 million. IDC says this is the first time in six years that the smartphone market in China declined year-on-year.
"Smartphones are becoming increasingly saturated in China," said Kitty Fok, managing director at IDC China, in a statement. "China is oftentimes thought of as an emerging market but the reality is that the vast majority of phones sold in China today are smartphones, similar to other mature markets like the US, UK, Australia, and Japan."
"Just like these markets," she says, "convincing existing users as well as feature phone users to upgrade to new smartphones will now be the key to further growth in the China market."
That was fast.
Cellphones emerged in China in the late 1990s. Today, on the streets of Shanghai or in the farm fields of the country's interior, it's hard to find someone who doesn't own one.
Apple led phone sales in China in the first quarter with nearly 15 percent of the market. Sales were driven by desire for the big screens of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, IDC said. China's Xiaomi took second place with nearly 14 percent of the market. South Korea's Samsung fell from first to fourth place following a huge drop in sales, according to IDC.
The Wall Street Journal noted that other surveys showed the smartphone market continuing to grow, but at a much slower pace than in the past.
The Journal writes:
"Experts say the slowdown is largely driven by the disappearance of China's first-time buyers. Smartphones now have a more than 90% penetration rate in China, said Tom Kang, research director with market-research firm Counterpoint, meaning just about everybody in China who wants a smartphone already has one. 'China is now a replacement market,' Mr. Kang said."

Q: прокси через ssh Есть две vm под управлением ubuntu 20. Обе находятся в одной подсети, одном vlan. Одна имеет доступ в интернет другая нет. К обеим виртуалкам у меня рут доступ. Поднимаю ssh туннель к vm с интернетом: ssh -N -D 9090 [USER]@[SERVER_IP]. Как мне сделать, что бы все интернет соединения проходили через данный прокси?
Желательно что бы эти настройки обнулялись после перезагрузки.

A: Что-бы от слова совсем, наверно никак. Можно использовать Environment variable
export http_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:9090 https_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:9090

тогда большинство адекватного софта (которое использует соединения ОС) пойдёт по туннелю, но это не во всём софте работает. Можно жестко забить правила в proxy chains но при отвале туннеля на изолированной машине начнется то ещё веселье. А вообще лучший вариант, я такой использую на backup машинах. Это поднять реальный живой проксик, ограничить его в firewalld по полной программе (обновы, zabbix, и строго необходимые ресурсы), и тогда работать с реально живым прокси сервером.


Several poems are portraits of camp life, including the poet's childhood recollections. For all kinds of essay topics, the written essay should be effectual and persuasive. Swimming in the American: A Memoir and Selected Writings 2005 includes several essays and poems about his imprisonment at the and Tule Lake. Jane Smiley frames her 2010 novel Private Life with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the incarceration of Japanese Americans, friends of the book's protagonist, at the Tanforan Assembly Center. The English version was published in 1997 as a memoir in which Kiyota recounts incarceration at Tanforan, Topaz, and. However, this essay will focus on prosocial behaviour. Malcolm X was also in a situation like that during his time in prison.
Over the course of the story, we learn that the daughter has married an American man and feels disconnected from her father. In brief, social psychology gives a better understanding of how peer pressure or social norms can influence individual personalities in other for humans to fit into society. Her father eventually sent her to another institution. A tragedy typically illustrates the downfall of the protagonist, who is usually a person of good standing, through one or a series of tragic incidents that he or she does not have control over. Her stories present various interactions between Japanese and Anglo-American, Japanese and Mexican, Japanese and Chinese, Japanese and Filipino, Japanese and African-American, even between Japanese and Eskimo. Also published in Studies in the Literary Imagination, 2004 Spring; 37 1 : 35-60. The camps were situated in dry, high altitudes.
There is limited understanding of the potential impact of cultural identification and values on the emotional experiences of older adults. In Crossing the Phantom River 1978 , Mitsui pays tribute to Miné Okubo and imagines Tule Lake and the Bismarck Department of Justice camp. Yamamoto often described herself as a housewife, not a writer. Miss Sasgawaras father is blinded to the acts that he is committing to his daughter not knowing that what he is doing to her is wrong. Japanese American internment, national pathology, and intra-racial strife in Hisaye Yamamoto's 'The Legend of Miss Sasagawara'. Usually students are assigned to select essay topics for their essay writing.
Acknowledged as the first book of poetry by an Asian American released by a major publisher, Lawson Inada's 1971 collection Before the War: poems as they happened is also the first book of poems to include works about Japanese American wartime imprisonment. The story ends with a sudden revelation that is symbolic of the communication gap between generations: the woman discovers that her father has difficulty hearing. The Brown House 1951 —A wife becomes an unwilling enabler of her husband's gambling habit, which brings financial trouble on the entire family. Since the moment he escaped the labs, the republic meant nothing to him, from then on, he generates chaos whenever he has the opportunity to. As mentioned earlier, Miss Sasagawara does possess worthy merits such as being intellectual and refined.
Gretel Ehrlich weaves together several plots in her novel Heart Mountain 1988 , including stories focused on the relationship between a white rancher and a Japanese American artist incarcerated at Heart Mountain, the Issei cook of the rancher's family, and a former University of California graduate student also imprisoned at Heart Mountain. Her work confronts issues of the Japanese immigrant experience in America, the disconnect between first and second generation immigrants, as well as the difficult role of women in society. The seemingly simple plot, how ever, displays profound meanings. Born in Japan and raised in Seattle among Nisei peers, Mitsuye Yamada is the only woman of her generation to publish a book of poetry including work focused on Japanese American incarceration.

She parades about the sedate camp in bright-colored ballet clothing; under observation for appendicitis, she attempts escape from the hospital; and dressed in a nightgown, she enters a young man's room to observe him in sleep.

Many Issei immigrants were concerned with preserving their native language, while the interests of the Nisei tended more towards expressions of loyalty to the United States, most easily achieved through knowledge and application of the English language.

A set of four creatures associated with water and rainfall are the main themes of two of the reproductions of Beautyway sandpaintings. These are White Water Monster, Blue Thunder, Big Otter, and variegated (or Many-colored) Water Monster ("Cloud Monster," "Land Monster"). White Water Monster lives underground, a denizen of the lower worlds, and spurts up springs, wells, and streams ("something like a whale"). Blue Thunder, like all of his kind, is associated with storms; he sends "good rain from above" (the "thunder bird"). Otter is an inhabitant of the rivers. Variegated Water Monster sends "cloudbursts and evil rain from above." In paintings he substitutes for a black being in the north. Sandpaintings of water creatures appear in the repertoires of Waterway, of Shootingway, and of Plumeway, but the rotund form of the Water Monsters Seems to be peculiar to Beautyway. Younger sister visited these creatures, who were living at Scattered Spring in Wilito Wilson's myth. Their picture is used for a person injured by lightning or water. In Singer Man's description of the prototype ceremonial, the second sandpainting is the "Water Horse painting"; but since this beast is mentioned. only in the water-bottom strung songs of this version and no picture of Water Horses has been collected for Beautyway, it seems likely that the water creature painting was meant. Singer Man admitted that he was none too familiar with the sandpainting ceremonies.
Frogs (Toads) as main themes in sandpaintings have been seen only in Beautyway. In the single reproduction by Wilito Wilson, they are accompanied by corn that they had planted when they were people. This picture commemorates younger sister's encounter with Frog (Toad) Man, the injury she received from him, and her restoration (by him, in one myth).
White Water Monster is male, blue Thunder is female, Otter is male, variegated Land Monster is female, she wears armor, and her head and feet are clouds. Corn, beans, squash, and tobacco have their roots in the central pool of water, which has bands of suds (foam), pollen, and rainbow around it. This sandpainting is used when a person has been thrown by lightning, drowned, or harmed in a corn, bean, squash, or tobacco field.


to perceive black and white and shades in-between. One unsolved macbeth morals essay aspect of qualia is the concept of the fundamental information involved in creating the experience. In his most recent book, Understanding Phenomenal Consciousness, 37 he is unusual as a dualist in calling for research programs that investigate the relation of qualia to the brain. A brain has to learn and develop how to see colors. Such a "raw-feel" state has been more formally identified as "non- epistemic ". Arguably, such a comparison would involve immediate apprehension of your current qualia and your memories of past qualia, but not the past qualia themselves. If Mary really does know everything physical there is to know about the experience of color, then this effectively grants her almost omniscient powers of knowledge. That knowledge, Jackson argues, is knowledge of the quale that corresponds to the experience of seeing red, and it must thus be conceded that qualia are real properties, since there is a difference between a person who has access to a particular quale and one.
The term qualia derives from the, latin neuter plural form ( qualia ) of the Latin adjective qulis (Latin pronunciation: kals ) meaning "of essay sonnet 18 what sort" or "of what kind" in a specific instance like "what it is like to taste a specific apple, this. A raw feel is a perception in and of itself, considered entirely in isolation from any effect it might have on behavior and behavioral disposition. Arguments for qualia generally come in the form of thought experiments designed to lead one to the conclusion that qualia exist. Revonsuo, however, considers that, within neurophysiological inquiry, a definition at the level of the fields may become possible (just as we can define a television picture at the level of liquid crystal pixels). 435450 Nagel, Thomas (1974 "What is it Like to Be a Bat?

Psychologists Report New Insights On Human Brain, Consciousness
For all of the talk about consciousness in neuroscience and philosophy, we still lack an adequate definition of what consciousness is - how to know when someone is not conscious, or when consciousness has ceased irrevocably.
New research from UCLA psychologists, using propofol sedation as the model, examined how information flowed in the brains of anesthetized subjects with fMRI scans. The psychologists analyzed the "network properties" of the subjects' brains using a branch of mathematics known as graph theory, which is often used to study air-traffic patterns, information on the Internet, and social groups, among other topics.
"It turns out that when we lose consciousness, the communication among areas of the brain becomes extremely inefficient, as if suddenly each area of the brain became very distant from every other, making it difficult for information to travel from one place to another," Monti said.

Dynamic Change of Global and Local Information Processing in Propofol-Induced Loss and Recovery of Consciousness. PLoS Computational Biology, 9(10): e1003271 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003271
Oct. 17, 2013 — UCLA psychologists have used brain-imaging techniques to study what happens to the human brain when it slips into unconsciousness. Their research, published Oct. 17 in the online journal PLOS Computational Biology, is an initial step toward developing a scientific definition of consciousness.
"In terms of brain function, the difference between being conscious and unconscious is a bit like the difference between driving from Los Angeles to New York in a straight line versus having to cover the same route hopping on and off several buses that force you to take a 'zig-zag' route and stop in several places," said lead study author Martin Monti, an assistant professor of psychology and neurosurgery at UCLA.
Monti and his colleagues used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study how the flow of information in the brains of 12 healthy volunteers changed as they lost consciousness under anesthesia with propofol. The participants ranged in age from 18 to 31 and were evenly divided between men and women.
The psychologists analyzed the "network properties" of the subjects' brains using a branch of mathematics known as graph theory, which is often used to study air-traffic patterns, information on the Internet and social groups, among other topics.
The finding shows that consciousness does not "live" in a particular place in our brain but rather "arises from the mode in which billions of neurons communicate with one another," he said.
When patients suffer severe brain damage and enter a coma or a vegetative state, Monti said, it is very possible that the sustained damage impairs their normal brain function and the emergence of consciousness in the same manner as was seen by the life scientists in the healthy volunteers under anesthesia.
"If this were indeed the case, we could imagine in the future using our technique to monitor whether interventions are helping patients recover consciousness," he said.
"It could, however, also be the case that losing consciousness because of brain injury affects brain function through different mechanisms," said Monti, whose research team is currently addressing this question in another study.
"As profoundly defining of our mind as consciousness is, without having a scientific definition of this phenomenon, it is extremely difficult to study," Monti noted. This study, he said, marks an initial step toward conducting neuroscience research on consciousness.
The research was conducted at Belgium's University Hospital of Liege.
Monti's expertise includes cognitive neuroscience, the relationship between language and thought, and how consciousness is lost and recovered after severe brain injury. He was part of a team of American and Israeli brain scientists who used fMRI on former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in January 2013 to assess his brain responses.
Surprisingly, Sharon, who was presumed to be in a vegetative state since suffering a brain hemorrhage in 2006, showed significant brain activity, Monti and his colleagues reported.
The former prime minister was scanned to assess the extent and quality of his brain processing, using methods recently developed by Monti and his colleagues. The scientists found subtle but encouraging signs of consciousness.
