When she was seven, Angélique Kidjo told her mother that when she grew up she wanted to be like James Brown, known as the Godfather of Soul. When she was eight, she decided she would pay tribute to Jimi Hendrix. That was when Kidjo, who will turn 61 this month, was in her home country of Benin in west Africa. The stories give an idea of the diverse influences both on her and her oeuvre as a musician.
Singer, songwriter and activist, Kidjo is difficult to pin down to one or two genres. Her soaring vocals are equally at ease with Latin and African music, funk, jazz, gospel, soul and rock.

She has had a storied career. Since her debut as a recording artist in 1981, Kidjo has released 18 albums, performing or recording with musicians as diverse as Dave Matthews, Bono, Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock, Buddy Guy, Dr John and Ziggy Marley. And that star-studded list doesn't even cover half of the people she has collaborated with over the years. And, yes, that tribute to Jimi Hendrix. It happened.
Kidjo's interpretation of Hendrix's Voodoo Child (Slight Return) opens her 1998 album Oremi, an album on which Kidjo explored the connections between African music and R&B, collaborating with musicians such as jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis, gospel singer Kelly Price, and jazz singer Cassandra Wilson.
Years later, in 2007, another interpretation of a similarly famous rock song, The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter, followed. The original, as Stones' fans know, was the opening track in the band's 1969 album Let It Bleed, which came at a time when youth activism and the fervour against the Vietnam War were at a peak. Gimme Shelter was received by many critics as an anti-war song that summed up the mood of the era. It is distinctive because of its signature opening, a lead guitar riff by Keith Richards. In Kidjo's version, it starts with percussion and a stanza sung in an African language, presumably Fon. Kidjo, incidentally, is fluent in 10 languages, including Fon and Yoruba from her home country, and sings in almost all of them.

As a child in Benin, Kidjo grew up listening not only to her country's traditional music and musicians such as Brown and Hendrix but also to Otis Redding, Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin. As a teenager, she achieved success in Benin and other African countries with some of her early songs, notably an adaptation of Les Trois Z, a song by the South African singer Miriam Makeba (popularly known as Mama Africa). But political conflicts and civil unrest in Benin made it difficult for her to continue her career there and she moved to Paris in 1983. That's when her career took off.
In mid-June this year, Kidjo released her latest album, Mother Nature. It is a continuation of her quest over the decades to find connections and cross-influences between traditional African music and soul, R&B, rock and hip hop. The album works on different levels. For people who aren't that familiar with her back catalogue of albums and songs, Mother Nature offers a good retrospective view of the wide range of genres Kidjo, often called the African funk diva, can straddle. Afrobeat meets Caribbean reggae; soul meets funk, and R&B and jazz.
But there is a second, more impactful level at which Mother Nature works. On the album, Kidjo has assembled a range of collaborators from across the world; many among them are young, from Africa, rising musicians who could be tomorrow's stars. Some are stars already. Do Yourself, a dance-club ready track, features the Nigerian rapper (and Grammy winner) Burna Boy. Take It Or Leave It, another track, has EARTHGANG, the rapper duo from Atlanta, US. The Zambian-born rapper Sampa the Great collaborates on another track, Free & Equal.

The songs of Mother Nature are steeped in modern funk, R&B and hip hop but also have large helpings of traditional African beats and chants. More importantly, they deal with issues that reflect Kidjo's activism. The title track is about climate change; Dignity (which also has Nigerian singer Yemi Alade) is against police brutality; and Free & Equal is about empowerment and rights.
Mother Nature is the first Kidjo album since 2015 to have original compositions. In between, she has done a track-by-track re-imagining of the renowned New Wave band Talking Heads' 1980 album, Remain In Light, her version coming out in 2018. This was followed in 2019 by Celia, a tribute to the late Cuban salsa singer Celia Cruz. Both paid homage to musicians Kidjo admires.
Mother Nature, however, is different. Here, Kidjo is celebrating young talent, mainly from Africa or with roots in that continent. In a sense, you could say the album is a kind of musical philanthropy, from a veteran diva to a host of rising musicians.

Is An Idea Worth Pursuing?
You may have one 'killer idea' that's going to take over the world, you might have lots. One of the most critical steps in the entrepreneurial journey is deciding which idea is the one to invest time and money into (and remember, time is money).
Here are the questions I ask myself about an idea or prospective investment, before I jump in.
Do I know anything about the industry / market I'm looking at?
The difficult truth is that your idea isn't original; lots of people have had the same thought. You're not the only genius in town and you're probably not the most suited to exploit the gap either.
So, what's the good news? You may be the most motivated. The above points are serious though. If you're going to launch a business you need to very quickly become an expert in your field. You need to understand what has gone before you and failed, what has succeeded and most importantly, why?
If you're not at least an expert-in-the-making on the industry/market you're looking at, you're not ready to dive in.
Are you solving a problem (that needs to be solved)?
Every time someone is purchasing your services/products they are actively making a decision to delay a holiday. That £5, £5,000 or £50,000 that you charged them, could otherwise have ended up cocktails on the beach while enjoying a massage.
People pay for an easy life, more money (services that turn £1 into £2), luxuries and essentials.
Which one do you fit into? What need are you solving? If it is not a need, it's a luxury. If it's a luxury, are you better than a beach holiday, mojito and massage?
If you've identified a need, who are your direct and indirect competitors and why is your solution better?
Create a presentation / flyer / one page website / etc and go and sell your product/service before it exists. If you can sell it, great. If you can't, ask your audience why they won't buy your product or service.
The greatest businesses are designed by their customers and arranged by their executive to be profitable.
Seen the silicon valley companies gain huge investment and valuation without making a penny? Ignore them. These are by far and away the minority of funded and valued businesses. Businesses are about making money. Anything else is a hobby.
Running a business is a tough, all-time and all-emotion consuming process. If you're not going to enjoy it, do yourself a favour and don't do it!
Does your idea stack up?
How much does it cost to make/deliver? How much will you deliver for? Are you in profit? How many people will buy? Therefore, how big will your profits be? What niches can you expand to after your original target?
Then … Cash-flow, cash-flow, cash-flow. You may be a billion dollar company in year five, but if you can't pay your bills in month six, you'll never get there.
The most common mistake when putting start-up spreadsheets together is not valuing the founders' time. Remember, you won't always be fulfilling that role, so what will be the cost of someone replacing you? That's the sensible figure to project with, even if you anticipate paying yourself pittance in the beginning.
Lastly, it always costs twice as much as you expect.
After all the above … are you convinced?
If after all the above you're convinced then you've crossed the chasm from excited and enthusiastic to informed and ready. One of the most frequent traits of entrepreneurs in their first few startups is that they continually kid themselves. They can be realistic and sensible about everything other than their own venture. Don't be that person. Be your biggest champion as well as your biggest challenger.
Do you want this to be the biggest part of your life for the next two years?
If you're reading this, you're already smarter than most. You can do anything. Starting a business is a commitment that is deep and far reaching. Ask yourself truly, do you want this idea to be the biggest thing in your life for the coming two years? If the answer is 'yes', go for it!

What Happens To Your Body When You Get Motion Sickness?
Occasionally, getting there is NOT half the fun. Here's why the journey can be so uncomfortable thanks to motion sickness.
1. You hit the open road – or ocean, or sky – and while nothing sounds alarming, your ears switch to red alert. Yes, your ears. Deep inside each one sits a series of tiny fluid-filled chambers called semicircular canals. As your head moves, so does the fluid in the canals; it swishes over microscopic hairs that send nerve signals to the brain. The message: Your body is in motion.
2. When you're, say, running or walking, that message matches visual cues from your eyes. But when you catch a ride, things can go haywire. Moving! say the ears. Sitting still! say the eyes, since most of your immediate surroundings – the seat in front of you, the book you're reading – are fixed.
3. Your head is now besieged with conflicting sensory signals. Particularly disturbed is an area of the brain stem called the vestibular nuclei, which engages a nearby tangle of nerve cells named…the vomiting centre. Seriously, that's the technical term.
4. The vomiting centre has a direct line to – you guessed it – your digestive tract. You're now nauseous, or even sick to your stomach. Probably pretty pale and sweaty, too.
5. Once you're queasy, there's no quick fix. In any mode of transport, stare at the horizon – doing so may help sync your motion sensors. If you can't see a horizon, tilt your chair back, shut your eyes, and hope for sleep. If you're on a ship and awake, don't go below deck, where your ears sense even more movement but your eyes see nothing but fixed walls.
6. Some experts argue that the ear-eye theory is off and that motion sickness is your body's defence against being moved without your control – in other words, you're surging forward, but not by your own two feet. In either case, women are more likely to get sick than men, so it's best to be prepared.
7. If you're traveling by car, try taking the wheel. Driving lends you more control and may provide your eyes with more clues that you're actually moving. Roll down the windows – fresh air can help abate nausea.
8. Taken preventively, motion-sickness meds, which waylay those wonky nerve signals, can offer relief. Some people swear by acupressure wrist bands, though they've never been scientifically proven. And though experts don't know why, solid forms of ginger (think ginger sweets or the kind that comes with sushi, not ginger ale) may help settle the stomach. If nothing works, you can expect to feel better a few minutes after you've reached your destination.
Looking for more info? This is what happens to your body when you take a long-haul flight.

This large level olive grove lies within the building zone of a small village, just 6 minutes from the shops and beaches of Kissamos, and 35 minutes from the busy city of Chania. There are some local mini-markets and bakeries close by, and the famous Falassarna beach is just 10 minutes away.
The land has around 60 trees, and enjoys nice sea and mountain views to the south, west, and north.
Access is via asphalt road then 75m of good dirt road, water is close by, and electricity is within 75m.


I would like to thank the whole team at Chase Motorcycle Movers. From the first day I contacted your company the whole process went perfectly.
You were happy with all my requests, the move was made very easy, and to top it off, the pricing was excellent. I especially liked the fact that my bike gear was also transported down with the bike at no extra cost.
This is my third interaction with this specialist company who have moved my top of the line BMWK1200LT. Motorcycle around NZ.
The first was Auckland to Nelson, then Palmerston North to Nelson and now Blenheim to Timaru.
The quote was very fair, the communication to me was of the highest standard and the bike arrived in perfect condition.
I wouldn't hesitate to use this great specialist company again.
You have done a fantastic job! I was greatly impressed with your service and the way the whole process was handled. Thanks so much for that.
I would highly recommend this company for transporting a motorcycle. I was impressed with the communication and was given a pick up time within a 15 minute time frame the day before. The van arrived precisely on time to pick up a valuable vintage BMW bike. The driver spent some time working out the best way to secure the bike and I received a text 2 days later saying the bike had been dropped off in Christchurch....at the time I was told 4 days prior.
These people do what they say they will do and do it extremely well. Delivery was within two minutes of promised time. Bike arrived in perfect condition. Have already recommended them to everyone I know. If you need a bike moved this is the company to do it.
I'd like to thank the Chase team for shifting my motorcycle with skill and precision.
The pricing was acceptable but utilising this company wasn't about getting the cheapest deal.
I could tell from the initial communication that these guys were as passionate about caring for my baby as I am.
They phoned ahead at both pick up & delivery to ensure things were in place and security was maintained. The staff were friendly and professional.
The overall experience was pleasant and put me at ease during a hectic and disruptive house moving expedition. If only some of the other companies involved in the family shift could have been this good!
I'd highly recommend Chase movers to any other two wheel warriors as they know what they're doing and put your requirements to the forefront.
Using a company to move motorcycle was a first for me, so I had no idea what to expect. After getting a few quotes, I listened to what others were telling me and from what I'd researched myself, decided to use Motorcyle Movers. They were great and here's why - what they said they would do, is exactly what they did! Communicated all they way through - from Jo in the office to the guy driving the truck doing the delivery, they are onto it ! Also really friendly and their price was good!
Thanks for moving my new motorbike from Dunedin to Wellington. Your service was amazing! Your communication was fantastic – I received a text to say when you were picking up the bike, that it had been collected and when it would be dropped off. Allan was great. As he said to me "I love motorbikes!" and it shows. I wouldn't use anyone else!!
Firstly, thank you for the delivery of my bike! Can I also add, I found you on the web. I obtained three prices and went with you, on the basis you provided me with confidence in your communication and were responsive to queries and questions, noting you were the highest price by a small amount. With the delivery of the bike, I know I made the right choice, particularly recognizing I did muck you around on the delivery time. Thank you again and, on the basis a bloke should own many bikes, we will do business again.
Excellent service, communication was brilliant and gave me piece of mind that my bike was collected and going to be delivered on time and safely.
not cheap as regards to the service they provided. I would only use them if I ever need a bike transported again, and can highly recommend them to any one else.
From the first contact, through to delivery, the communication was out standing. You organised pick up in Christchurch and kept me informed all the way. Best $500 I've spent. I would not hesitate in recommending your service.
overall deal. Thanks and cheers, Rex.
I recently transported a bike from Auck to Chch with Motorcycle Movers and I couldn't have been happier. From the very first contact, right through to the delivery and follow up calls, I have received nothing less than exceptional service. And to top it off, they were by far the lowest price quote I got. I contacted ALL the transport companies! I will be using their service again, that's for sure! I highly recommend their service.

Q: Terminal - removing virus or rootlets I found a file in my terminal named ~$E THINKERS.docx, I tried to removed it using the rm command but it keeps telling me no such file found. I think its a rootkit, since my antivirus doesn't detect it. Anyone can help me remove it?

A: Your question is lacking details...
I suppose you are working in Unix-like terminal and typing: rm ~$E THINKERS.docx and the expansion fail (look for "Tilde Expansion" in bash(1)).
Could you try: rm '~$E THINKERS.docx'?
If it were a rootkit, you most probably wouldn't see it...

Home Coin Profiles US Coins United States 1887 Liberty Seated Half Dollar
Coin Profiles
Liberty Seated Coinage
United States 1887 Liberty Seated Half Dollar
U.S. Circulating Coin Production in 1887 – Putting the 1887 Half in Context
In 1887, the Philadelphia Mint handled U.S. coin production for all of the minor denominations, the silver dollar, and gold denominations up to $10, with the exception of the half eagle, which was only struck for circulation at the San Francisco branch. San Francisco also struck gold $10s and $20s in quantity.
The chart to the right illustrates current market levels relative to mintages in the grade of MS65. There are no "gem" 65 coins known at present for the $10 and $20 denominations, so we substituted in the MS64 value.
Building a complete 1886 year set of circulation strikes in Gem or finest known 64s will set a collector back about $100,000 USD. However, this pursuit is well within the means of most interested adult collectors in the grade of MS62 or MS63. We estimate a choice set to cost about 1/4 to 1/3 of that price.
Where the 1887 half dollar fits into the puzzle is interesting and situational. In terms of the 1887 date and mint set, it is the most valuable coin of all of the minor and silver denominations, but it does not compete with any of the gold issues outside of the diminutive gold dollar. In terms of Type 5 "With Motto" Liberty Seated half dollars, despite its low mintage, it is but one of many scarce issues in a series that is vastly underrated in its degree of collecting difficulty.
Truth is, from 1879 to 1890, there just wasn't much demand for the half dollar denomination and each year's mintage (struck to said demand) reflected this. Were it not for the fact that the Seated Liberty type spanned more than 50 years of production, and its design not carried over for all of America's silver denominations for much of that period, the pricing levels we see today would likely be significantly higher, based on these mintages and survival rates alone.
But the coin is what it is. Scarce, historic, but one of several of the type with similar characteristics.
The 1887 Liberty Seated Half Dollar in Today's Market
The specimen imaged in this coin profile was recently listed for sale at auction by Stack's Bowers. The coin is graded MS65 by NGC and is likely one of the first to ever be certified by the company as it is housed in a Generation 2 holder. It was likely certified in 1987 or 1988, which means that the coin was certified as a gem under the standards set by John Albanese and the gold CAC sticker on the holder affirms that Albanese believes today that NGC might have even been a little too hard on the coin back then.
It sold for $7,200 (including buyer's premium) as lot 528 in the official auction of the October 2018 Whitman Baltimore Winter Coin and Collectible Expo.
Obverse:
The classic obverse design of Seated Liberty coinage was created by Christian Gobrecht, from 1840 to 1844 the third Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. It features Lady Liberty sitting on a non-descript prop, of which we can deduce little. Her head is turned to her right, which leaves her long hair cascading over her left shoulder. Like on many such representations, Liberty wears sandals and a long dress inspired by classical art. In her left hand she holds a pole, atop of which is a Liberty cap. Her right hand slightly cradles a heraldic shield with the word "Liberty" on a scroll across it. Beneath the ground upon which Liberty's seat is positioned, the date 1887 is found in the exergue. Thirteen six-pointed stars arc along the top half of the coin. Dentils surround the entire design.
Reverse:
An eagle worthy of the name graces the reverse. Its head is also turned to its right; its wings are spread out but down. It holds three sharp arrows in its left talon and an olive branch in its right. An escutcheon based on the U.S. flag covers its breast. A scroll unravels above its head, upon which is written the national motto "In God We Trust". The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs clockwise around the top of the coin; the abbreviated denomination HALF DOL. runs counterclockwise along the bottom. As with the obverse, dentils surround the entire side. Overall, the design is an improvement on John Reich's earlier half dollar reverse.

Jay Gladden named associate vice chancellor for undergraduate education, dean of University College
INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer Kathy E. Johnson has announced the appointment of James "Jay" Gladden as associate vice chancellor for undergraduate education and dean of University College.
Gladden, dean of the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management at IUPUI since 2009, will assume his new position Feb. 1.
As associate vice chancellor for undergraduate education, Gladden will provide leadership for campuswide student-success programs and initiatives, promoting a culture of undergraduate persistence and achievement. He will manage programs that serve students throughout their undergraduate experience, ensuring such programs meet current and future needs of students.
As dean of University College, Gladden will head the unit that serves students from the time of orientation through their entry into degree programs at IUPUI.
"Jay's successful efforts at the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management have improved student retention, increased the number of degrees conferred and significantly expanded students' community-engagement experiences with nearly 100 community partners," Johnson said. "He brings that experience in leadership and innovation to his new role. He is the right person at the right time to lead campus efforts to help students persist, achieve and succeed."
Since becoming dean of the School of Physical Education and Tourism Management, Gladden created an Office of Student Success and grew the number of student-support staff from one to seven, increased freshman/sophomore retention rates to 87 percent from 75 percent, increased the number of degrees conferred by the school from 243 to 418, and increased the number of community-engagement hours completed by school students from less than 7,000 to more than 114,000.
"IUPUI has clear and ambitious goals around student success, retention and graduation," Gladden said. "I look forward to leading a talented team and collaborating across campus in the next round of innovative activity to achieve these goals."
Before coming to IUPUI, Gladden was associate dean at the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and he served in several other capacities at that university, including as acting department head for the Department of Sport Management, as director of the sport management graduate program and as an associate professor in the Department of Sport Management. In the private sector, he worked for a sports and entertainment agency and for Ralston Purina Company.
"I would also like to thank Stephen Hundley and David Malik for serving as interims in this position while we conducted the search," Johnson said.
Gladden earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from DePauw University in 1988, his master's degree in sport management from The Ohio State University in 1991 and his doctorate in sport management from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1997.

For men living in Russia's North Caucasus, what do you do when your family considers you responsible for bringing home the bacon - and the only job you can get is as a security guard at a petrol station? Or what do you do when your father and grandfather have passed on to you the duty of defending the family's honour, and the police can stop you and ask for a bribe at every traffic light?
Poverty, a lack of rights and prospects are all problems that have surfaced in a recent study of men's lives in Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia and Kabardino-Balkaria, conducted by the Heinrich Böll Foundation together with the Free Happy People international centre. The study comprised 800 surveys and 80 in-depth interviews.
Here, oDR speaks to the study's coordinator, sociologist Irina Kosterina, about the results.
What aroused your interest in this subject? Why men, and why in the North Caucasus?
Our interest was aroused by previous studies we [the Heinrich Böll Foundation] had made. A few years ago we were commissioned by a number of North Caucasus NGOs to look at the position of women in the region, to discover what issues they had to contend with, what problems they encountered and how best to deal with them. It turned out, for example, that women had little awareness of the help they could get from local NGOs: some of them didn't even know the term "civic organisation". The study also surfaced a huge number of problems to do with domestic violence - both in the in-depth interviews and surveys. This subject was impossible to avoid: we saw that it was the thing that women were most worried about.
When we - both researchers and activists - met as a group to discuss this new information, we realised that we hadn't anticipated the scale of the tragedy in the region. We were both bewildered and horrified, it was unclear what we should do. But one thing was clear: women weren't bringing this violence on themselves. It didn't exist in a vacuum: it was caused by something. Something was provoking, aggravating and legitimising it. And so we decided to listen to men, to understand them.
There's around a dozen or so NGOs working with women in the North Caucasus, but we knew nothing about men: what was happening to them, what they wanted, whether they were satisfied with their lives. Up till then all our work had been concentrated on women: all the NGO leaders and volunteers were women, and it was women and girls who came to 90% of our workshops, while men didn't make it into this picture.
What points of overlap between men and women has your study revealed? Are there some issues in common?
We covered more or less similar issues in the questionnaires, to keep the fields of study similar. Women and men have very similar ideas of what the main problems are in the [North Caucasus] republics. People were basically concerned with the day-to-day problems in their lives – unemployment, low incomes and an absence of opportunities for professional growth because of the small job market.
Money worries were of equal concern to men and women. People also talked about corruption, a sense of injustice and the clan system. Some issues (bad roads, substandard living conditions) differed, of course, from those faced by Moscow residents, but were similar to those found in the Russian province – unscheduled electricity outages in the winter, water turned off for long periods in the summer. So the basic complaints were all about low living standards.
"You've got a wife and three children, your relatives are constantly on your back – you're the head of the family and responsible for everything, but you have no power"
But still the main point is lack of work or the stereotypes about what jobs are dignified for a man in the North Caucasus to have. These ideas strongly limit men's possible choices, and hit the reputation of the breadwinner hard.
Do you believe that domestic violence is connected to this sense of not having found one's place? How do women interpret domestic violence in terms of where it comes from? And how men interpret it?
They interpret it very differently. Violence is a very complex issue and you can't say that men see it one way and women another. Even among women there was a variety of responses and attitudes. There's a certain section of people living in the North Caucasus for whom violence is legitimised by the fact it is inevitable, it's always been around.
Of course, militarisation has a very strong impact on violence - as a result of the many armed conflicts. Militarisation in the region is much more intense than Russia as a whole. People in the North Caucasus still keep weapons at home.
There was one workshop we ran - it was held in an awful sanatorium where they gave us buttery semolina to eat, which boys in the North Caucasus won't eat, of course. So we decided to cook for ourselves. We bought meat at the local market, and one boy from a mountain village in Dagestan – the only one who could cook – taught the others to make a quick kebab. Then, of course, we realised we needed knives to eat it, and all the men went off to their cars and came back with daggers – they all had daggers. I asked why they needed them, what they were planning to do with them. Their answer was: "On the road, anything can happen". These were real weapons, with quite large blades: if the cops found them we'd be in trouble. On the other hand, they had the local police sorted: "Hey, man, I'm off to another region, how could I go without my dagger"? They know themselves how to regulate the movement of daggers. So there are a lot of arms around, and not just blades – guns as well.

But the main thing is that men in the North Caucasus have a strong sense of injustice. It is stronger and more potent and overlaid, of course, with a mountain-dwelling masculinity that should really be independent, but has, for the last century, been subjected to the might of the Russian Empire, which has attempted to domesticate, colonise and modernise it. And this hasn't helped, because violence takes its root as a counterbalance to this external pressure. It's particularly visible in Chechnya, whose leader Ramzan Kadyrov and his army, which has pretty extensive powers at a local level, are constructing a ruthless hierarchy. Men feel very vulnerable and very much subordinate to the system.
Men are also subject to structural violence from the police and everyone else, with endless traffic cops stopping your car, extorting cash, humiliating and blackmailing you. Women are immune from this kind of violence: they can't be touched; they're protected by tradition. When there were the recent protest rallies in Ingushetia, riot police beat up and grabbed men – but they couldn't behave the same way with women. A man can't even lay a finger on a woman who is not a member of his family: it's taboo. So women face violence in the home and men, from the state.
In other words, men subject women to violence because they themselves are subject to violence by the state and society?
Imagine you're proud highlander who is unemployed, and all you're offered is a miserable job. You've got a wife and three children, your relatives are constantly on your back – you're the head of the family and responsible for everything, but you have no power. So you look around for some power, and find it by creating a new hierarchy out of your relationship with your wife – the only person you can lord it over.
Your mother is a respected figure, the person obeyed by men in the Caucasus: mother is always right, it's mother can even find you a wife. So you just have this one woman who you're not particularly in love with yet, because sometimes marriage isn't about deep and pure love, but because it's time, and there's a good girl from a good family available, and so on. And you don't have any strong emotional attachment to this person, so you can bully her and shout at her.
Aggression and violence are often a sign of lack of confidence in yourself and your future. Nearly a third of male respondents to our survey are telling us that their main feelings are around anxiety and frustration.
Yes, that's true. For a huge proportion their main feelings were "hope for a better future".
Is that typical of both men and women? Do they have a similar emotional perception of reality?
I would say that there is a difference. We can think back to the 1990s and the ways women and men experienced the economic crisis and general collapse of everything. Women had a very practical response: they turned from teachers into newspaper sellers and didn't make a big deal of it, whereas men either lay in their beds staring at the ceiling or resorted to crime. I think there's a similar logic here. Women in the North Caucasus live for the moment and deal with the issues in front of them; they have more solidarity, more resources, abundant friendships and support systems, and that gives them strength. And they also realise themselves more in the private sphere.
Meanwhile, a man has to react and deal with the outside world, and be in public. In Chechnya, Kadyrov monopolises this sphere – he's on TV and everywhere else. And in Dagestan there have been endless tales of nepotism and corruption, with mayor after mayor put behind bars. When men look at politics, they can see that there's nothing you can rely on. It's not very clear how men should interact with the outside world in the North Caucasus.
Indeed, interaction takes place rather in the small circle outside the family, not in public. Social networks are in very active use; Dagestani men are always making statements about life, values and the right way to live. Women, on the other hand don't make statements, but chat on WhatsApp about day to day stuff – they can't even post photos of their children on Facebook for fear of being outcast, and they can't put nice pictures of themselves on Instagram, their husbands will get jealous.
Your studies were commissioned by North Caucasus NGOs and was carried out in collaboration with them. Can civil society help both men and women in situations where they experience inequality and violence?
I don't think that civil society can solve the problem of violence, which is an urgent problem across Russia. It's just there are certain specifics in the North Caucasus, and another set in Moscow, and a different set again in Novokuznetsk or elsewhere. The specifics and roots of violence are much the same everywhere, and unless there is state intervention years will go by before anything will start to change. They've now decriminalised domestic violence, and women's crisis centres have told us that its level has risen – the government needs to punish rapists. We had a hopeless protection system as it was, and now it's even worse.
"We need to talk and discuss, but not in the shape of a lecture delivering colonial knowledge to the maligned North Caucasus, but just a discussion about what suits people and what doesn't – real issues"
Have you been able to make any recommendations about how civil society might operate in the North Caucasus in regard to the family, intimate matters and private life?
The development of civil society is of a very specific type in the North Caucasus. There is no money and it has to rely on presidential grants, and you can only apply for presidential grants for things that fit into the rhetoric of tradition: traditional family, traditional values, help for mothers and the war on extremism and terrorism.
When we visit, people write to me complaining about us feminists turning up yet again. But over my years of working there, I've discovered that if we avoid words like "gender" and "feminism" and just talk about important things, a lot of people will come to workshops and take part in discussions – there's an enormous demand for airing these issues.
People in the North Caucasus are very happy to talk about everything connected with gender, sexuality, intimacy and relationships. Politics don't particularly interest them, but that does. We need to talk and discuss, but not in the shape of a lecture delivering colonial knowledge to the maligned North Caucasus, but just a discussion about what suits people and what doesn't – real issues.
There is a lack of knowledge about where and how to earn money: many men would like to open a business but don't know how. They need workshops to help them develop their own business at last, and not work at some hateful low paid job. There are very few workshops available for budding entrepreneurs and those there are, are usually run by state institutions and are not in tune with people's real demands and possibilities.
At the end of one of our programmes, a group from Dagestan created a project for fathers. They ran workshops, invited a gynaecologist, a psychologist and a lawyer and talked about what happens to a woman in pregnancy and how to care for a baby - the young men found it all really interesting. But these projects are very short term: two workshops and that's it. I believe that this work with young fathers should become a long term targeted programme in every Russian republic, so that men can become better informed. They really want to know and understand, but they live among a lot of stereotypes, prejudices, rumours and almost pagan assumptions about how to behave. There is a demand for knowledge. Now there needs to be a reaction to this demand.

PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) - The Delaware Valley is looking at another wet weekend with showers expected to start Friday night.
On the bright side, temperatures won't be as cold as they have been the past several days, because of the incoming moisture.
Showers are expected to reach most of the area between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Friday night. Those showers are expected to be heavy at times with 1 to 2 inches potentially falling.
Flooding may be a concern in poor drainage areas.
The rain is expected to continue into Saturday morning, but we should get a break in the rain during the afternoon. Showers could pick back up by Saturday night, leaving Sunday damp and unsettled, with more rain possible.
Download the FOX 29 Weather Authority App for the latest forecast.
The Philadelphia area is slated for a pleasant Easter Sunday with a mix of sun and clouds and a high of 70 degrees.
Mostly cloudy skies will kick off the week Monday with comparable temperatures.
The Philadelphia area is slated for a dry Saturday night with partly cloudy skies and a low of 54.
A slight chance of rain showers is expected for Sunday with marginally cooler temperatures. Overall, Easter Sunday should be mainly dry and partly cloudy.


Things reaching this point so that the President has to take note of them on the joyous day, the eve of Republic Day, must worry every citizen of India. They must think what has brought a country that should have been worried about continuing hunger, the biggest humiliation as the President had noted in his acceptance speech, that forces millions of their compatriots to go to sleep on an empty stomach every night. They must have been thinking about ways to tackle malnutrition that leads to the stunting and wasting of a huge section of its children and has been referred to repeatedly, as a National Shame.
President Pranab Mukherjee, one must acknowledge, never lost sight of these pressing concerns and did rightly so. He had asserted the need for elimination of 'hunger, deprivation and marginal subsistence' from the base of the country's expanding population, even in his address to the nation on the eve of Republic Day 2013. He had, in fact, called this the primary purpose of wealth creation.
India should have been worrying about its slowing economic growth, too, as it would cause loss of jobs and add to already high rates of unemployment in the country. This too had figured in President Pranab Mukherjee's concerns consistently. One can easily recall that in his 2013 speech, he mentions very clearly that the young cannot dream on an empty stomach, a theme that kept recurring in his speeches.
This is why India must be concerned about the forces of violence, intolerance and unreason replacing real issues it needs to deal with urgently. These forces, as President Pranab Mukherjee noted, do not hit an individual alone. They undo the whole system meant to protect everyone. They may start with manufactured rages against the most vulnerable sections of the citizenry but seldom do they stop at that. They target all. It is just that they ensure doing that, one by one.
A problem much bigger than this, however, is the way these forces target public institutions, justice institutions being the foremost of them and try to delegitimise them. They try to supplant justice mechanism with rages over 'hurt sentiment', pretended or real. They throw serious criminal charges against those dissenting with them with impunity and substitute the required legal process with violence. They try to take the judiciary out of the equation and bring in 'mob justice'.
All of this, one must recognise, compromises the rule of law and the justice institutions meant to enforce it. They have started drawing blood in India with a number of rationalists killed for their beliefs. They have started forcing people into committing suicide by labelling them anti-national, the suicide of Rohith Vemula, a young Dalit student being the latest addition to the list.
They do not stop at jeopardising the criminal justice system alone. They also compromise the state's capacity to ensure social justice, to fight hunger and all the deprivations that come with it. A people fighting for mere survival in the face of such an onslaught won't dare to queue up in front of a public distribution system shop (ration shops). That is, if the shopkeeper dares to open the shop in such an atmosphere,s in the first place. That is, also, if the state with limited resources gets left with some for such shops and other schemes while being forced to spend a huge part of it to combat such forces.
It is sad to see the need to fight these forces of violence, intolerance and unreason becoming the most pressing one for the republic. It is ominous to see that they have occurred in the President's speech while the ones like need of eliminating hunger, deprivations, unemployment and so on have disappeared for the first time. The republic must take note of this if it does not want to turn into what many of its neighbours have become.

Geek Speak: Compress to Impress
IF SOMEWHERE THERE EXISTED A LIST OF EFFECTS RANKED by fun, sexiness, and potential for general grin-inducing mayhem, compression would likely lurk somewhere near "ground lift" deep in the nether regions of that list.
Jonathan Herrera
IF SOMEWHERE THERE EXISTED A LIST OF EFFECTS RANKED by fun, sexiness, and potential for general grin-inducing mayhem, compression would likely lurk somewhere near "ground lift" deep in the nether regions of that list. Narrowing a bass's dynamic range is simply not as immediately thrilling as the squelch of a juicy envelope filter or the buzzsaw wail of a good fuzz pedal. Yet, if the list were reordered by actual utility, not just temporary excitement, then compression would be No. 1 with a bullet. It's undoubtedly the most frequently used effect in the studio, as essential to modern recording as the microphone. And while it may not enjoy the same popularity in most bass players' live rigs, it's still a key component of many a front-of-house sound system.
Teletronix LA-2Adbx 160xUREI 1176 Given the all-encompassing presence of compression in music making, and taking account of its special role for bass, getting a good handle on the technology and how it can help you sound better is time well spent.
Compressors and their more aggressive cousins, limiters, are amplifiers designed to reduce a signal's dynamic range. Dynamic range is the span, measured in decibels, between the loudest and quietest portions of an audio signal. Compressors make loud passages quieter and the quiet bits louder, and they allowsignificant control over the intensity and character of this process. The point of it all is that a signal with a narrower dynamic range will sound punchier, more dynamically even, and easier to place in the mix. All good things bass-wise.
The average compressor features a standardized set of controls, with more advanced models offering additional parameters and routing options for even more control. Let's investigate the standard feature-set:
Threshold Compressors reduce the gain of an audio signal when it goes above a certain volume threshold, commonly set in decibels. If the threshold control is set low, more of the signal will be subject to the compression effect. If it's set high, the compressor will only affect the loudest portions of a signal.
Ratio The degree to which a compressor actually compresses is most often expressed as a ratio. For example, a 6:1 ratio means that if an input signal is 6dB over the threshold, the compressor's output will be 1dB over the threshold. In tandem with the threshold control, the ratio control can be thought of as the overall intensity of the effect. Low compression ratios are gentle, while extremely high ratios, sometimes expressed as ∞:1, prevent the signal from ever exceeding the threshold. At these highest ratio settings, a compressor becomes a limiter.
Attack A full-featured compressor includes a control that governs how quickly the compressor begins to affect the input signal. The attack is the time between the input signal triggering the compression effect and the input signal getting reduced by an amount set by the ratio control. Depending on the nature of the input signal, a super-fast attack time may cause an unnatural-sounding, hard-edged reduction in gain. Governing the attack time allows a player or engineer to dial in a smooth-sounding transition into the compressed phase of the signal.
Release The release phase occurs after a signal begins to decay beneath the threshold. It describes the time it takes for the uncompressed or "unity" gain to return to the signal. Depending on the compressor's design, the release may interact with the attack as the signal continues to go above and below the threshold.
Makeup (or output) gain While the common perception of compression is that it imparts a greater sense of overall loudness to a signal, it actually necessarily results in a lower-gain output than the input. A compressor must provide a means of compensating for this reduction to achieve the desired output level. Makeup gain can either match or exceed the input level.
Soft and hard knees While not commonly found on bass-specific compressors, robust studio units allow a user control of the compressor "knee," the break in the response curve of the compressor as the signal crosses the threshold. A soft knee gently increases the compression ratio until it reaches the level set by the user. A hard knee more rapidly applies the full compression ratio to a signal, for a more sudden and dramatic compression effect.
What makes compressors more than a little fascinating are the myriad ways they work their special magic. There are four main types of compressors, and each has a unique sonic signature.
A tube compressor utilizes an array of vacuum tubes to alter gain, with the compression effect coming from a tube configured in a "variable-mu" state, in which the grid-to-cathode voltage varies to alter gain. This old-fashioned method usually results in slow attack and release times and fairly gentle ratios. All those tubes (and the accompanying input and output transformers) impart a distinctly "tube-y" sound, meaning warmth, subtle distortion, and a buttery response that's hard to duplicate with other methods. The all-time classic variable-mu compressor is the Fairchild 670.
Optical compressors take an entirely different route. They may or may not include tubes for the gain stages, but the compression effect is achieved through the use of light-sensitive resistor and a small lamp, pointed directly at the resistor. As the input signal level increases, the lamp shines brighter, producing greater resistance in the light-sensitive component. An optical compressor's special quality is due to the unique response times of the light and resistor. The lamp takes time to illuminate and darken, and the sensitivity of the resistor also varies according to the intensity and frequency of the illumination. The resulting sound is often characterized as smooth and transparent. The most famous optical compressor is the Teletronix LA-2A, now produced by Universal Audio.
Voltage-controlled amplifier compressors (VCA) use a uniquely configured solid-state amplifier circuit to govern gain according to a control voltage. In a VCA compressor, the control voltage is the input signal itself. VCA compressors are generally considered the cleanest and most transparent of compressor types. A particularly beloved example is the dbx 160.
Another common solid-state design utilizes Field Effect Transistors (FETs), semiconducting devices that emulate the response curve and distortion characteristics of tubes. FET compressors are reliable and sound relatively bright and clean. The classic example is the UREI 1176, now also produced by Universal Audio.
On bass, compressors can do wonders for slap tone, make fingerstyle passages sound smooth and even, and in the hands of a good engineer, really help carve out a bass's ideal presence in a mix. Live, they can be invaluable in concert with other effects, especially those that seem to occasionally explode with unruly transients. Whether your encounters with compression come in the studio or onstage, take time to understand the critical impact they can have on tone. It's a sure sign of sonic savvy.

The Lagos State Government on Tuesday donated thirty power bikes to security agencies operating in the state, saying that the donation was in line with the commitment of the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to boost security and enhance safety of lives and property.
The power bikes, funded by the Lagos State Lotteries Board, were donated to the Police Command in the State, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA).
Speaking at the brief handing over ceremony held at Lagos House in Alausa, Ikeja, Governor Ambode said the procurement of the bikes was in sync with his promise to prioritize the security of residents and ensure that no stone is left untouched to protect the people.
The Governor, who was represented by Secretary to the State Government, Mr Tunji Bello, said security, being one of the tripod upon which his administration is built, would continue to be accorded its pride of place.
"We are here once again at the instance of His Excellency, the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode. If you must recollect last year when we had dinner with the members of the Security Trust Fund, the Governor promised that we are going to donate power bikes to security agencies to enhance their job of securing lives and property of residents.
"In fulfillment of that promise, we are here today to hand over to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) for onward transmission to security chiefs here present the thirty power bikes donated to them by the State Government," Bello said.
While expressing optimism that the equipment would be put into good use, Odukale called on corporate bodies and public-spirited individuals to team up with government to procure more equipment for security agencies in the overall interest of the people.

Mike Tirico To Call Some NBC Football Games This Year
Tom "Goz" Goslowski
Courtesy ESPN Radio
A familiar face will be calling NFL action again very soon. According to reports, Mike Tirico will be the play by play voice of a few NFL games as early as this season for NBC. Tirico, a Syracuse University graduate, was the former voice for Monday Night Football on ESPN. Below are excerpts from a press release sent by NBC addressing the upcoming changes in NFL broadcasts.
"With the additional games on our schedule this season, it's nice to have a bye week," Michaels said. "We're lucky to have someone of Mike's caliber to step in with Cris, Michele and the rest of the team."
"Once we added TNF, we always planned to give Al a chance to recharge to help him maintain his standard as one of the all-time greats. This week was the ideal time due to travel," said Fred Gaudelli, Executive Producer of NBC's Sunday Night Football and Thursday Night Football. "With Mike the voice of Monday Night Football for the last 10 years, we are fortunate to have two exceptional NFL play-by-play voices."
Following Green Bay-Washington, Tirico will join Cris Collinsworth in the booth for NBC's Pittsburgh-Indianapolis Thanksgiving night game, and the Kansas City-Denver Sunday Night Football game on Nov. 27. In addition, Tirico and Collinsworth will call the N.Y. Giants-Philadelphia NBC Thursday Night Football game on Dec. 22. Tirico joins Doug Flutie in the booth for the Dec. 17 Miami-N.Y. Jets and Dec. 25 Baltimore-Pittsburgh games, which will be televised on NFL Network.
Michaels will be in the booth with Collinsworth for tomorrow's NBC debut of Thursday Night Football, as the Carolina Panthers host the New Orleans Saints (coverage begins at 7:30 p.m. ET with Football Night in Carolina). He will then return on Dec. 1, as the Dallas Cowboys visit the Minnesota Vikings on NBC's Thursday Night Football. From Dec. 1 through the end of the season, Michaels will call all five remaining Sunday Night Football games, three Thursday Night Football games, and two NFL playoff games."

Fraud is fraud - regardless of "fiduciary duty"
Why can't they also charge the regulators for f*** for the 1000th time. No regulator went to jail over the Madoff scandal so no surprise these things continue to happen. Politically one party wants to add 75,000 pages of regulations addressing nothing, the other one wants to do nothing. But this one needs no new regulations or new laws for advisors. The regulators could have set up google alerts and shut this down in the 2nd month in operation. Instead of that, they were busy giving fines to advisors for having the wrong 9 digit zip code on their business card or not updating change of address when they moved.
Regulators act under the direction of their well-lobbied political handlers, who receive millions of dollars annually. If you want to change the system, vote somebody else in who isn't in the hip pocket of big oil or big financial. Betsy Devos is a perfect example of money well spent.
Because that gives the appearance of doing something. Meanwhile Wall Street can continue on without pause.
Financial regulators are the Barney Fife's of the world, without an Andy to stop them. They are busy sending out SWAT on No Knock Warrants for Jaywalking, while the Cartel runs a Industrial Grade meth lab out of the house next door. And they just stop and wave to the Cartel on the way in and out.
Or in the case of the FTC, voicing their opinions on "Net Neutrality" while Wall St rapes the weak in plain sight.
I heard a group of Agents/Advisors, etc... got together and hired legal counsel to represent themselves, does anyone know of this?
Couldn't help ut smile at this comment... Years ago, I set up at a flea market in Crossville TN.. Law enforcement conducted a raid for counterfeit merchandise, tee shirts, watches, purses, nascar stuff, etc. . They came in driving military HumVees, dressed in camo and carrying automatic weapons. They seized merchandise from a few vendors but none of them had more than a couple hundred dollars worth. You would have thought they conducting a raid on the Columbian drug cartel..
Yes, the militarization of local law enforcement is a bad thing. Yes, there are times that equipment is needed, but rarely. Instead, sheriffs and chiefs feel the need to use it routinely to justify buying it, even at discount rates, and at some level I'm sure just ego and pride.
When you give someone a nice and shiny new toy, they feel compelled to use it, no matter how inappropriate to the situation.
Back in the day, most law enforcement officers worked by themselves armed with a .38 recover, a slap jack and balls of steel. No radio contact outside the car to call for help. Had to think fast on their feet to stay out of a disastrous situation. Wouldn't want to do it.
There also was a lot of abuse by law enforcement in those days too.
It is regrettable that cops need to be so heavily armed now, it is not regrettable that they are better held accountable for their actions.
I am still beyond amazed at what cops will do knowing that basically everyone has a camera and video recorder and that they wear body cams and dash cams themselves.

Q: NodeJS get object from anonymous function based in custom module i try for the first time NodeJS and this server is just awesome, but i got a small problem and i dont understand what i'm doing wrong :(
I have two files : server.js and rules.js
rules.js read rules.html an must be return his content into object like that :
{'title':'Title','msg':'
[...]
'}

Rules.js
exports.getRule = function(data) {
    var fs = require('fs');
    var rulesPath = __dirname + '/views/rules.html';
    fs.readFile(rulesPath, {encoding:'utf-8'}, function(error, data) {
        if(!error){
            var rules = {"title":"Règles du chat","msg":data};
        } else {
            var rules = {"title":"Erreur lors de la récupèration des règles du chat","msg":"
Une ereur s'est produite lors de la récupération des données, veuillez rééssayer plus tard...
Si le problème persiste signalez le
"};
        }
        return rules;
    });
}

Server.js
// Load custom Rules module
var rules = require(__dirname + '/private/rules/rules.js');

// Perform actions when the client want open jQueryUI modal dialog
socket.on('openBox', function(data) {
    if(data.id == 'rules'){
        console.log(rules.getRule(data));
        socket.emit('openBox',rules.getRule(data));
    }
});

A: function(error, data) {
    if (!error) {
        var rules = {
            "title": "Règles du chat",
            "msg": data
        };
    } else {
        var rules = {
            "title": "Erreur lors de la récupèration des règles du chat",
            "msg": "
Une ereur s'est produite lors de la récupération des données, veuillez rééssayer plus tard...
Si le problème persiste signalez le
"
        };
    }
    return rules;
}

This piece code is called call back function. This will be invoked by fs.readFile when the read data is available. When you return from the call back function, you are actually returning to fs.readFile, which most likely to ignore the return value of the call back. That is why your code is not working. What you should be doing is, to pass the call back function from Server.js, like this
socket.on('openBox', function(data) {
    if (data.id == 'rules') {
        rules.getRule(data, function(error, data) {
            if (!error) {
                var rulesObj = {
                    "title": "Règles du chat",
                    "msg": data
                };
            } else {
                var rulesObj = {
                    "title": "Erreur lors de la récupèration des règles du chat",
                    "msg": "
Une ereur s'est produite lors de la récupération des données, veuillez rééssayer plus tard...
Si le problème persiste signalez le
"
                };
            }
            console.log(rulesObj);
            socket.emit('openBox', rulesObj);
        });
    }
});

And change the Rules.js like this
exports.getRule = function(data, callBackFunction) {
    var fs = require('fs');
    var rulesPath = __dirname + '/views/rules.html';
    fs.readFile(rulesPath, {encoding:'utf-8'}, callBackFunction);
}


One of our favorite summer salads is a Caprese Salad. Rather than pay $10-$15 each at a nice Italian restaurant, we make them at home. In fact, we grow our own Basil in a pot on the deck. Even if you don't grow your own Basil, the grocery stores have fresh basil all summer!
Just slice any size tomato (we even used cherry tomatoes here), a few slices of fresh mozzarella, lots of basil leaves, a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. If you like the flavor of basil, but not the texture of large basil leaves, ribbon the basil (look up "how to cut basil chiffonade" online).
It's low carb! Fresh and delicious! Serve it alone as an appetizer, or as a side with grilled meat and veggies for a delicious and nutritious salad. Enjoy!


Brazilian juice maker Grupo Cutrale and investment firm Safra Group agreed on Monday to acquire U.S.-based banana producer Chiquita Brands International Inc in a deal valued at $1.3 billion. Cutrale-Safra, which had offered to pay $14.50 per share of Chiquita in cash, said in a statement that the transaction is not subject to any financing conditions. Once the transaction is closed, Chiquita will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Cutrale-Safra, the statement added.
Chiquita Brands International, Inc. (CBII), along with its subsidiaries, is an international marketer and distributor of bananas and other fresh produce, sold under the Chiquita and other brand names in 70 countries, and packaged salads sold under the Fresh Express and other brand names primarily in the United States. Shares of CQB traded higher by 2.91% or $0.4/share to $14.16. In the past year, the shares have traded as low as $9.24 and as high as $14.43. On average, 755109 shares of CQB exchange hands on a given day and today's volume is recorded at 3150734.


The other day a work colleague earnestly tried to convince me that Michelle Obama is really a man. She said she'd seen the proof on the Internet. That's when I realised that fake news is not a joke. For the sake of democracy we need to take it very seriously indeed.
In the past, information was filtered through traditional media such as newspapers and magazines on the one hand, and television and radio bulletins on the other. These outlets were bound by legal and professional standards to report the facts, although, in the case of the written press in particular, they were free to « spin » them in line with their differing political allegiances. Sure, some papers were infamous for taking liberties with the truth (think «My girlfriend was abducted by aliens») but nobody believed them, because their obvious fakeness was part of the publication's brand image. People read them to be entertained, not informed. Genuine news was the preserve of credible news brands, and most people knew where to find the real stuff.
The trouble is that today many people in western democracies – some surveys even say most - don't get their news filtered through a trustworthy brand, they get it direct from social media, where they are no truth filters and no obvious barriers between fact and fiction.
Fake ! Russian teenager raped by immigrants in Berlin.
Hence last year's fake news story of a Russian teenage girl who was raped by immigrants in Berlin. By the time the story was debunked by the authorities, Russians living in Germany had held protests and the Russian foreign ministry had voiced its concerns for the safety of its citizens living abroad. In former times the story would never have been reported at all, because journalists would have checked the facts before going to print. Now the media world is being turned on its head because fake news leads to real news events, which are then reported in respected outlets.
But not everybody shares this pessimistic assessment. Some believe that we should have more faith in the electorate, and put the emphasis on freedom of expression rather than limiting the range of content on the web. Mick Hume, editor-at-large of the UK online publication «Spiked» says it's a mistake to believe in a causal link between the spreading of fake news and recent democratic choices in the UK and the USA that local elites found unpalatable : « What these elitists and experts really object to is the wrong kind of democracy – voters inexplicably having the gall to reject their advice and support policies and candidates that are not to their taste. They blame the electorate for being unfit for the democratic system, rather than the other way around. They see the solution as tighter policing of public discussion through new systems of gatekeeping and fact-checking on the web….Perhaps they should call it the Ministry of Truth? ».
But others believe that the most Orwellian gatekeepers of all are the social networks themselves, especially Facebook, consulted by nearly a billion people every day. According to Robyn Caplan of the New York-based Data & Society Research Institute "The news media industry's financial dependence on Facebook for content distribution has, in many cases, weakened the reach of solid journalism. The idea that the role of journalism now is to "give people what they want" or "what matters to them" has become embedded in the same logic that drives Facebook's algorithmic personalisation and ad-targeting products. For Facebook to fully tackle fake news, it must acknowledge that financial and political incentives drive the company to privilege the act of sharing over dissemination of truthful coverage. Facebook also must own the fact that it is now a major news distributor. It doesn't need to just tweak its algorithm, it needs to tweak its business practices and objectives".
To be fair to Facebook, it has recently been working with the most respected news providers in France and Germany, to fact check and filter news articles that have been reported as false by users. But some, including Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein, believe the social media giant could do more to create a culture which would encourage people to engage with the views of fellow citizens, including those they strongly disagree with. "Echo chambers breed extremism. If you hang out with like-minded people, you'll get more confident and more extreme. Facebook should re-do its News Feed so as to ensure there's less in the way of informational cocoons". In his new book #Republic, he calls for an "architecture of serendipity", where media promote chance encounters with opposing views, which shake people out of their comfort zones and force them to question their previously unchallenged beliefs.
In a year of crucial elections in the Netherlands, France and Germany, European democracy's vulnerability to fake news is being tested as never before. To make sure it passes this stress test, real leadership – and cooperation - is now urgently needed from governments, international organisations and responsible media organisations, including of course the social networks. That's one fact that doesn't need any checking!

Terlingua ma Texasban, a Big Bend Nemzeti Park közelében található, a cinóber ércnek, a higany alapanyagának felfedezése után épült szellemváros.

Fekvése
Texas délnyugati részén, a Rio Grande közelében fekvő egykori bányásztelepülés.

Nevének eredete
Terlingua ma három különböző hely neve a texasi Brewster megye délnyugati részén.

Története
Az eredetileg Terlinguának nevezett hely egy mexikói falu volt, amely körülbelül 5 kilométerre feküdt a Rio Grande-i Terlingua-patak összefolyása felett.

Az 1880-as évek közepén e területen fedezték fel a Cinnabarit nevű higany-szulfid ásványt (fémhiganyt) és az ebből nyert cinóbert, a környék vulkanikus eredetű hegyeinek ércbányáiban.

A cinóbert a helyi indiánok már ez idők előtt is ismerték és testük festésénél ragyogó vörös színe miatt használták is, később más mexikói és amerikai kutatók is rátaláltak az ércre, de a környék távoli helyzete, a vízhiány és az ellenségesen viszonyuló indiánok az érc bányászatát visszatartották.

Az 1880-as évek közepén az itt felfedezett fémhigany kibányászása céljából a hely közelében, a Marfa és a Mariposa bányavállalat megalapította a Terlingua Abaja bányászmunkás falut. 1900-ra Terlingua térségében már négy bányavállalat is működött, amelyek higanyt bányásztak. 1902-ben mintegy 300 munkás élt Terlingua bányakerületében, többségükben mexikói eredetűek. Terlinguában Howard E. Perry chicagói iparos 1903-ban alapította meg a Chisos Bányavállalatot, 1905-re a munkások létszáma 1000 körülire emelkedett. 1910-ben a Marfa és a Mariposa Bányavállalat beszüntette a termelést, és a helyet a tőle tizenhat kilométerrel keletre fekvő Chisos Bányavállalat területére telepítették át.

A higanytermelés az első világháború alatt jelentősen megnőtt. 1922-ben már Terlinguaból szállították az Egyesült Államokban bányászott higany 40% -át.

A Nagy gazdasági világválság idején a higanytermelés jelentősen visszaesett és folyamatosan csökkent az 1930-as években, így a Chisos Bányavállalat 1942-ben csődbe ment, majd a második világháború vége felé a  higanybányászok az egyre fogyó munkahelyek miatt lassan elhagyták a helyet, és Terlingua szellemváros lett.

Az 1960-as évek közepétől Terlingua szellemvárosát a turizmus fedezte fel. A turistákat továbbra is vonzotta a hely többek között olyan rendezvények miatt, mint az évente megrendezésre kerülő "Chili Cook-Off", amely 1967-ben a Chili Értékelő Társaság által elnyerte a "Chili Capitol of the World" megtisztelő címet.

Terlingua lakossága 1994-ben 25 fő volt, akik tizenhárom üzletet üzemeltettek, 2000-re a lakosság száma 267-re, az üzletek száma pedig 44-re nőtt.2010-re a népesség 58-ra csökkent

Sandra Sutter is Cree Métis, tracing her lineage back to the 1800s. Her family of origin is from the Red River area in Manitoba and settled in Île-à-la-Crosse, Big River and Muskeg Lake in Saskatchewan, as well as various points across the Prairies.
Raised in a loving non-Indigenous family, Sandra discovered and embraced her ancestral and cultural roots later in life. Like many displaced Indigenous people, honouring her proud heritage is important to a woman whose birth heritage was lost through time and circumstance. Her culture now influences her every step through life and she has grown into an active and passionate advocate for Indigenous culture and rights. Her life journey in both the non-Indigenous and Indigenous worlds has given her a unique perspective and opportunity to bring people together through her songs of reconciliation.
In Calgary, Sandra is a well-known singer-songwriter and has performed at many different venues across western Canada. She sings, writes and plays in a variety of styles including folk, country, jazz and rock. Sandra is inspired by her Indigenous heritage and has been active in the arts, particularly music, for many years. This love of culture was expressed several years ago in the release of an EP of original songs entitled "Peaceful Nation".
Sandra is the Aboriginal Partnerships Manager for PTW Energy and CGT Industrial and the President of the Board of Directors for the Circle for Aboriginal Relations Society. She sits on several Indigenous serving board and committees across Canada. She lives and breathes the concepts that she thinks, speaks and sings about every day.
In 2017, Sandra was awarded an Indigenous Arts production grant from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts to record a full-length studio album with producers and JUNO-winners Vince Fontaine (Eagle & Hawk/Indian City) and Chris Burke-Gaffney (Orphan, The Pumps, Harlequin). This year, with another grant from AFA, they're working on Sandra's second full length album. Stay tuned!
Her album Cluster Stars is part of a vision to help bring an understanding of the Indigenous culture to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, with the overall objective of understanding leading to acceptance and acceptance leading to peace and well being. The belief in the fundamental strength of the Inuit, Métis and First Nation cultures as expressed through art and particularly in this case through music, provides the material and drive for this project.
Sandra talks about her life growing up in a non-indigenous family with CFNR's "Journeys" host Kiefer Collison.
Adopted at an early age, Sandra discovered her indigenous heritage and culture later in life and explains how it now influences almost every aspect of her life, including her music. (5 minutes, 40 seconds)
