Our journey with Beethoven has finally reached its end. This project has been a major challenge for me as a musician transitioning from her 20s to her 30s and growing as a person. And I really wanted audiences to become increasingly familiar with Beethoven.
While on this journey, I feel I was not only able to see Beethoven's conflict, but also my own. Precisely because they are the works of a great composer, there was much scope for me to think, delve deeply and search, and with each consecutive concert or recording, I discovered many things.
For example, it took time for the overall character of the second movement of my beloved Sonata No. 7 to appear, even though I was already able to express and sing its fine nuances. Thus I learned the importance of how the gravity of the entire movement and how its profound appeal were finally conveyed.
It has also sunk in that in the quest to pursue Beethoven's messages, one needs to pay extreme attention not only to the score's dynamics and pedal specifications in minute detail, but to things which are not even written into the score. And the more I immerse myself in Beethoven's world, the more absorbed I become, gaining a greater insight into the importance of balancing thoughts and emotions in order to convey this world. During the previous concert's Hammerklavier, I feel I came closer to accomplishing the work by considering the performance of such a masterpiece and its structure, and by pushing myself through the limits of struggling emotions in what can be said to be ultimate suffering.
Following the conflict and complex development of the Hammerklavier sonata came the creation of the three final sonatas, and they encompass a sense of the composer having gone through multiple stages of change and finally having the ability to view himself from afar, almost as though he had returned to his origins. The culmination of all his earlier conflict was instrumental in allowing such exquisite results… I myself have yet to reach such a stage, but if I allow myself to stretch the wings of my imagination to their fullest, I think there may just be the seed of a flower that I might well discover, decades from now.
This concludes our journey through the piano sonatas, but it is, in fact, also the start of a new journey. I plan on performing all of Beethoven's works that include the piano as my 'life's work', and I hope to be able to embark on this new journey with all of you!


Chopping away at the days of summer around here. In my dreams last night the boys went back to school in (gulp!) 2 weeks, and when their teachers asked them to draw a picture of the best thing they did during the break, I received two nearly identical papers with carefully crayoned stick figures sitting in front of a surprisingly realistic computer screen.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who prays their kid remembers at least one summer adventure to tell on the first day back.
Okay, so we've had a lot of what I like to call "off days". These usually involve me trying to catch up on laundry, make a meal that depends on the oven while I dole out chores right and left. And yes, there's screen time thrown in there because these boys are 6 and 8. It's just part of the package.
But we've also had lake days, and field days, and playing in the rain days. And we've raised a duck. Maybe I'll promise ice cream to whoever draws a picture of that.


 We are pleased to share the 2015-2016 Essay Prompts with you.
First, read the essay prompt(s) through at least twice. Then, set a timer for one hour. You must spend that entire time doing two things, and two things only: researching the school's brand and values, and coming up with the key values that the essay prompt is looking to uncover.
Coalition for Access Essay Prompt 3: Has there been a time when you've had a long-cherished or accepted belief challenged? How did you respond? How did the challenge affect your beliefs?
The Common Application has announced that the 2016-2017 personal statement essay prompts will be the same as the 2015-2016 prompts. By conducting a review process every other year, rather than annually, we can hear from admissions officers, as well as students, , and counselors, about the effectiveness of the essay prompts. With the release of the essay prompts and the announcement that student accounts created now will , counselors can introduce their juniors to the Common App now, or whenever they are .
1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.These prompts are designed to elicit information that will strengthen the other components of the application. "We want to make sure that every applicant can find a home within the essay prompts, and that they can use the prompts as a starting point to write an essay that is authentic and distinguishing," said Scott Anderson, former school counselor and current Senior Director for Programs and Partnerships for The Common Application. (Swarthmore College) How fun is this? It's like I want to apply to Swarthmore myself, just to write this essay. Would I wish to be among the crowd on the that fateful Friday afternoon, two millennia ago? Stand as a spectator on the as forgives her executioner, the swordsman from France? Be aboard the ill-fated that freezing night in April, deciding whether to step into a lifeboat or remain on deck with my husband? In my family, filled with history buffs, this essay prompt could be an exciting after-dinner game.The current , CA4, launched on August 1st, 2013, and the essay prompts were revised for the 2015-16 college application cycle. They have not changed for 2016-17. When CA4 launched, one of the biggest changes from the previous version was the essay section. Gone were the from the past decade, and college applicants no longer have the option. With the 2015-16 udpates, the has been replaced by #4 below on solving a problem.We at College Essay Advisors love these tried and true essay questions, which are exactly the same as the ones on last year's list. These prompts are, as always, open to creative interpretation, allowing room for personal expression while also delineating some helpful guidelines for students to follow. While it is true that the Common Application essay prompts are quite flexible, it is still helpful to know just what admissions will be looking for when they read personal statements in each of these categories.Writing prompts or essay prompts are school assignments that direct students to write about a particular topic in a particular way. With today's great focus on writing education, writing prompts have become sophisticated teaching tools, designed to elicit specific writing responses from students. Because writing prompts are so integral to how writing is taught and tested, learning to how to understand the writing prompt is the first step to writing success.Understand the SAT Essay prompt and generate all your examples in just five minutes with my four-step SAT Essay prompt dissection technique.
While writing well depends on many skills that take time to develop, one skill can be taught fairly quickly: How to understand a writing prompt. Yet isn't understanding writing prompts simply a matter of reading comprehension? No. All too often, good students receive a poor writing grade because they misunderstood the essay writing prompt. In order to successfully respond to a writing prompt, students must learn to analyze the prompt as a critical part of the writing process.At the end of this article, we'll also guide you through how to get the most out of these prompts and link to our expert resources on acing the SAT essay. I'll discuss how the SAT essay prompts are valuable not just because they give you a chance to write a practice essay, but because of what they reveal about the essay task itself.
7. If you run out of official prompts to practice with, use the official prompts as models to find examples of other articles you could write about. How? Start by looking for op-ed articles in online news publications like The New York Times, The Atlantic, LA Times, and so on. For instance, the passage about the plastic bag ban in California (sample essay prompt 2, above) has a counterpoint - you could try analyzing and writing about that article as well.
Students of all kinds, from elementary school to those applying for post-graduate educations, are tested on their writing ability through writing prompts. Successful students are able to understand what kind of essay the prompt is calling for and answer it with what the tester wants to see.
In this article, we've compiled a list of the seven real SAT essay prompts that the CollegeBoard has released (either in or separately online) for the new SAT. This is the most comprehensive set of new SAT essay prompts online today.

For those of us with all our polution gear removed. Where do you dump the rocker cover vent hose? I originally ran it into the input manifold through a pcv to reburn the vapors. Then I figured that the car would run better on cleaner air so I ran it into the top of the unused carbon canister with another hose out the bottom dumping below the frame. The setup worked ok but sprayed goop under the car at highway speed and soaked the carbon grains with that nice oily cream.
To be just a little environmentally concerned I'm going to try to make a cleanable container which can collect the condensed vapors. I'm thinking of a can that be clamped in the same location as the carbon canister, filled with steel wool (to condense the vapors). Add a in-tube, a vent and have a removable top.
Mine runs directly into a catch tank made from a spare washer bottle - like you I do not want burnt gases contaminating the mixture. A horrible brown sludge accumulates, which I wash out every so often. The bottle is fitted alongside the brake servo. The gases escaping the top of the bottle- which appear to be devoid of droplets of oil etc. can be unpleasant as they flow into the cockpit through holes in the firewall or around the side of the windscreen. I would suggest running the gases out under the car. For me it is useful to see the gas leakage as it can give advance warning of piston failure!
1/ "nice oily cream" in your carbon canister? Have you looked inside the rocker cover (through the oil filler will do)? If you have 'mayonnaise' in there, you may have a head gasket water leak, causing excessive crankcase blow-off.
2/ there should be a small wirewool chamber inside the rocker cover where the vent leaves. Has the old wool disintegrated, or is it solid with accumulated crud?
3/Like Peter, I use an old plastic bottle, but smart alloy 'catch tanks' are available. For a price, but they include proper baffles (rather than just wire wool), drain taps and connection pipes.
John, the mayo was only an ounce or two, gooped in the filter material at the bottom of the canister. I think it accumulated during last summers return trip from Calgary to Westport WA for the All Triumph Drive-in. Around 1600 mi. The head is clean, as viewed through the filler hole. I will do a leakdown test in the spring.
I checked some websites about those catch tanks. They seem to be installed between the rocker cover vent and manifold. I wonder if they rely on the vacuum to work correctly.
I replaced my hose with a K&N crankcase vent filter.
I get a (very) little bit of drippings on my exhaust manifold (actually the jet-hot coated header), but no big deal.
I ran a hose down to the bottom of the motor and installed a K&N vent filter at the end of the hose.
About once every 500 miles I clean the filter.
It was a post I started about the merits of a 5 speed Toyota transmission conversion for the TR6. It turned into a long, frank and lively debate about the merits of Concours vs modernized.
It's just that I'v learned a bunch since then and have been talking with Mr. Van de Akker and am getting ready to purchase the kit etc... thought I'd post some updates.
You thread has gone to 2002 archive. You can revive it by going to top this page and click on ARCHIVE then click on 2002. Please forgive me for saying this if it is old news to you. There are some new posters to this BBS and just maybe they are not familiar with the archives and that you MUST register at this site in order to view the archives.
Do you have one of these Speedwell catch tanks? The photo has no scale, but the tank looks very small. In the UK, MSA race reg. J20.9.2 states that the minimum size is 2litres, and THREE litres for engines over 2 litres, ie TR6s.
Two litres = a cylinder 100mm(3.5") wide by 270mm(11") tall - this tank still looks too small.
Sure will. I started collecting parts (and knowlege) for the J-Type conversion of my non-od 4 speed before deciding once and for all on the Toyota 5 speed conversion.
I had collected a used J-Type, an adapter, a mainshaft and some of the electrical components. I was close to having all the components. The local shop quoted $1,600 to install the mainshaft and insisted a rebuild was neccessary to get it all back together. After spending $1,600 I would still have an unknown quantity with the used J-Type. Solution - rebuild the J-Type but not easy to find expertise and spare parts of the major pieces. I found it impossible to determine the total bottom line cost of doing a J-Type conversion.
On the other hand, I could do a Toyota conversion without involving the British Repair shop... a big plus..
I called Herman de Van Akker in California and had a long talk about his Toyota Conversion kit. He supplies a bellhousing, driveshaft flange, clutch friction disk, hydraulic clutch actuation system (optional ), speedo cable and a few other bits. The whole thing is a bolt-on project. The Toyota gearbox is just a dead reliable unit and doesn't change the character of the car one bit.
I like the idea of simplicity and reliability; no electrical / hydraulic overdrive that can be destroyed by driving in reverse while actuated etc.
I'm going to place an order for the Toyota kit and I'll post the results of my install as it progresses. Prices for a non-rebuilt gearbox are about $175 Canadian plus tax locally in Calgary. I'm waiting quotes on gearbox rebuild.
"A moulded poly container made just for this purpose. It has 2 molded-in threaded bosses for mounting, 1 fitting to connect your hose, a drain petcock at the bottom, and a snazzy chromed filter at the top. You can view it at our website."
Is the bellhousing a bolt up operation?
Yes, the bellhousing is a bolt-up operation.
Why not just buy a Miata?
When I was a little boy my grandad said "this kid isn't going to own any sailboats..."
The North American TR6 is just too bloody slow and short legged.
I'm sure if I owned something fast like a Jag I'd leave her stock.
This thread has gone way off course.

We work with a number of clients from both Sports and Wellness industries, offering a bespoke service from delivery, to installation, through to maintenance of their CRYOPOD™. Some of our recent partnerships can be seen below.
UFC is one of the biggest brands in the world of sport with Mixed Martial Arts having the highest number of Pay per Views of any sport globally.
In the UK, UFC have set upon a programme to build 105 "state of the art gyms and recovery centres" not just for fighters but for all gym users to benefit from fitness training of the highest order with instruction from the best people in the business. Essential to the success of any form of intense training is equally defined recovery. Train Hard, Recover Quickly.
UFC Gyms have opened their first two Gyms in Nottingham and Woking. Both feature a Recovery Room with the main feature being a CRYOPOD™.
After meeting with the UFC management team, we agreed the design, layout and installation of two CRYOPODs™ to be delivered in time for the opening of both Gyms in 2019.
Our partners ProCcare , who are recognised as world leaders in the understanding of Whole Body Cryotherapy, provided full training for the Gym staff, on site, with an exam at the end to award a "Practioners Certificate". Each CRYOPOD™ has ProCcare software integrated into our touchscreens to allow a full assessment of the client's body make up and their individuals needs required to achieve their objectives.
The CRYOPOD™ team attended the opening of the Nottingham UFC gym to help promote the Recovery Room and provide demonstrations to potential users.
At CRYOPOD™ we have been delighted with the working relationship we have developed with UFC Gyms and are looking forward to a long-term business partnership.
"We looked into various options before deciding to work with the team at CRYOPOD™. We are confident we made the right decision.
We initially visited their premises in the Lake District, met the designers and engineers behind the build of the POD. We had cooling sessions there and at Twickenham after an England Rugby match. We were very impressed with the product.
We like their willingness to go the extra mile working closely with our teams as we build our new gyms across the country.
The added benefit was the training for our staff on not only how to operate the CRYOPOD™ but a full training course on understanding Whole-Body Cryotherapy carried out by their partners at ProCcare. Our staff are all now qualified operators."
Richard Purves
Head of Commercial Development, UFC Gym
CRYOPOD™ have had a relationship with England Rugby (RFU) for almost five years, having provided a fixed pod at their training facility at Pennyhill Park since 2015.
We also provide a mobile unit for all 6 Nations and Autumn International matches at Twickenham as well as making the pod available for training camps.
The mobile unit was used at the warm up Internationals prior to the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan and we were delighted with England's subsequent success in the run up to the final.
We are extremely proud of our relationship with England Rugby and look forward to supporting them in their training and recovery.
Interested in finding out more about working with us?

I visited Vernon Carus' old Penwortham Mills site back in 2007, not long after the site had closed and work transferred to a new factory round the corner from my house in Chorley. At the time, there was a full time security guard on site who kindly let me wander round for a couple of hours. The main mill was mostly empty and I couldn't find access to the weaving sheds that contained the remaining machinery. Thereafter, the site went into decline after security was withdrawn, and eventually, the sheds were demolished. The site was bought for redevelopment, but no progress has been made due to the appalling lack of access and the mill has just sat there slowly decaying. It's been bricked up to make access harder, but to be honest I've already been round and don't fancy risking my neck trying to get in somewhere that's just a bombed out hulk.
I'd bought a new compact camera so as the place is only 20 minutes away, I thought I'd swing by to have a look and test the camera.
It was very hard to get any external photographs of the mill in 2007 as there was a lot of single storey buildings in the way. These have since been cleared which makes photography easier. You can see where the north light windows in the shed roofs would have been.
Looking across the empty wasteland that was once boiler houses, offices and weaving sheds.
Zooming in a little more. This is where compact cameras come into their own, having a small lens diameter that can fit through gaps in fences and being able to zoom in a lot.
I used to think this was the base of a chimney, but in hindsight, I think it's actually a staircase, given how close the windows are to it. I think it may have been this one, but it's been 9 years since I took that and can't remember it's exact location in the mill.
Vernon Carus Cricket and sports club is more or less opposite the mill and is still very much active. I think they also have a fishing section that uses the old mill lodge behind the factory.

Helen Elizabeth Hunt (Culver City (Californië), 15 juni 1963) is een Amerikaans actrice. Ze won in 1998 een Academy Award en een Golden Globe voor haar hoofdrol in As Good as It Gets. Daarnaast werden haar meer dan 25 acteerprijzen toegekend, waaronder nog drie Golden Globes, vier Emmy Awards en drie American Comedy Awards voor haar rol in de televisieserie Mad About You.

Levensloop

Carrière
Hunt was leerling bij de theaterschool van Gary Austin. Zij speelde samen met Paul Reiser de hoofdrol in de televisie-sitcom Mad About You, die van 1992 tot en met 1999 zeven seizoenen liep. Als liefdevol doch kibbelend echtpaar sleepten Reiser en zij met de serie meer dan dertig prijzen binnen, waaronder een Emmy voor Hunt zelf in zowel 1996, 1997, 1998 als 1999.

Daarnaast bouwde Hunt een aanzienlijk lijstje filmrollen op, zoals in Cast Away, Twister en As Good as It Gets (met Jack Nicholson). Voor haar rol in laatstgenoemde titel won ze de Oscar voor beste vrouwelijke hoofdrol in 1998. Daarmee was Hunt, sinds Liza Minnelli in 1973, de eerste actrice die zowel een Emmy, een Golden Globe als een Oscar won in hetzelfde jaar.

Privéleven
Hunt was van juli 1999 tot december 2000 getrouwd met acteur Hank Azaria. Ze had relaties met Eric Stoltz en Matthew Broderick. Daarna ging ze samenwonen met schrijver Matthew Carnahan, met wie ze op 13 mei 2004 dochter Makena Lei Gordon Carnahan kreeg. Het koppel ging in 2017 uiteen.

Sukkar spoke about the experiences which influenced the story and about the development of the novel's complex narrator.
"Originally in my head Adam started off as a normal child," she says. "But I wanted to give him more of an edge as a narrator.
The Boy from Aleppo Who Painted the War draws on first-hand experiences of Sukkar's family and friends.
The Boy from Aleppo Who Painted the War has been dramatized as a radio play by the BBC.

Insurace regulator sets growth targets for life as well as general insurance companies
business | Jul 15, 2022 9:56 PM IST
By Yash Jain | Jul 20, 2022 10:54 AM IST (Updated)
Insurance regulator IRDAI has proposed to set growth targets for individual insurance companies based on gross premium written by them. Gross written premium is a sum total of new business and renewal premium.
The insurance regulator, IRDAI, has set growth targets for both general as well as life insurance companies. CNBC-TV18 reported on July 15 that the targets (see table below) had been set for life insurers. Now, ICICI Lombard has confirmed that the same has been done for general insurers as well.
"Every company has been asked how they can contribute more. There have been discussions between IRDAI and general insurance companies on growth targets," said Gopal Balachandran, CFO, ICICI Lombard.
It is unprecedented for any regulator to assign growth targets for companies but not anymore. The insurance regulator IRDAI has proposed to set growth targets for individual insurance companies based on gross premiums written by them. Gross written premium is a sum total of new business and renewal premium.
Also Read | Bottomline: IRDAI's growth push is well intended, but misguided
The basis for arriving at these targets
These premium targets have been set depending on the past performance of these insurers, their distribution network and their current premium base. As per sources, IRDAI has also asked all life insurers to submit a roadmap on how they plan to achieve these targets. CNBC-TV18 learns that the premium growth targets proposed by IRDAI are in the range of 15 to 50 percent.
It doesn't end there. To ensure compliance to these premium growth targets, IRDAI is also considering linking a part of the MD's and/or CEO's salary or compensation to the performance of the life insurance company on these targets.
What the targets look like
According to sources, LIC has been given a premium growth target of 15-20 percent. Companies like HDFC Life, ICICI Pru Life, SBI Life and Max Life have been given a target of about 30 percent. Companies like Aditya Birla Sun Life, Bajaj Allianz Life, Tata AIA Life and Kotak Life Insurance have been given a target of 40 percent.
Can companies comply with these targets?
Companies like HDFC Life, ICICI Pru Life or SBI Life have never so far come even close to the proposed growth targets.
However the insurance industry has expressed its reservations on the proposal. According to life insurance industry, such growth targets should not be imposed on companies as it may lead to increased instances of mis-selling, lack of discipline in underwriting and could also take the focus away from protection products.

Every time I overcome an obstacle, it feels like success. Sometimes the biggest ones are in our head - the saboteurs that tell us we can't.
Those who can do. Those who can't form a supercommittee.
From Here to Eternity' happens to be fourteen-carat entertainment. The main trouble is that it is too entertaining for a film in which love affairs flounder, one sweet guy is beaten to death, and a man of high principles is mistaken for a saboteur and killed on a golf course.
Centralization of society's vital services in giant computer centers, reservoirs, nuclear power plants, air- traffic control centers, 100-story skyscrapers, and government compounds increases its vulnerability. ... choosing his targets, today's saboteur could pollute a city's water supply, dynamite power transmission towers, cripple an airport control center, destroy a corporate or government computer center.

When you're fat, the world is divided into two groups - people who bug you and people who leave you alone. The funny thing is, supporters and saboteurs exist in either camp.
It's easy for me to say, "Oh yeah, that's the self-saboteur move that most artists pull whenever they're afraid."
We're busy being busy. Distraction is a dangerously deceptive saboteur of our goals, because we are not present to how much time we lose. We're distracted by things like being in meetings or on conference calls, or we get on Facebook related to business and the updates of friends captivate our attention and an hour goes by before we wake up.
A producer is a saboteur who tries to infiltrate the passivity of viewers and to create impressions that are lasting.
Sometimes I think my purpose is as a saboteur when I'm working with other people, derailing what they're trying to do or taking things to a ludicrous extremity.

Women who can, do. Those who can't become feminists.
A city suffering from chronic poverty, out-of-control crime, a $76 million budget deficit and a 15 percent unemployment rate (nearly 50 percent for Oakland's youth) can hardly afford such social justice follies. But a pushover Democratic mayor and an overwhelmed police force have left what's left of gainfully employed Oakland taxpayers at the mercy of professional freeloaders and anti-capitalism saboteurs.
But if you close your eyes and listen to Palin and her most irate supporters constantly squawk or bellyache or tweet about how unfair a ride she gets from evil mustache-twirling elites and RINO saboteurs, she sounds like a professional victimologist, the flip side of any lefty grievance group leader. She's becoming Al Sharpton, Alaska edition. The only difference being, she wears naughty-librarian glasses instead of a James Brown 'do.

The factory workers say that it's impossible to do anything right. If you arrive five minutes early you are a saboteur; if you arrive five minutes late you are betraying socialism; if you arrive on time they say, Where did you get the watch?
This is an instrument in the hands of the people for fighting the fascist saboteurs, because the Chilean armed forces are a guarantee of constitutionality and integrity.

Wired New York Forum > City Guide > Questions and Answers about New York City > Skyline Hotel 10th Avenue - How is the area?
View Full Version : Skyline Hotel 10th Avenue - How is the area?
I will be a first time visitor to New York and I have a reservation at the Skyline Hotel on 10th Avenue, but I am not sure how the area is. *How safe is it? *Is it too dangerous for 2 women to be walking around alone? *Any help would be aprreciated.
If you could tell us what street it's on, I could do a check of crime statistics for that precinct so you could get a general idea of how safe it is.
Most neighborhoods in New York are safe, just so long as you take certain precautions that you might take in Vegas, or LA, or Chicago. *Very few people would ever attempt to accost you during the day; most homeless people are generally harmless and will probably bother you just ask you for some spare change. *At night, if you're wary about walking around, be sure to avoid side streets—one-way crosstown streets generally fronted by walk-ups—as much as possible, and stay in well-lit, well-travelled areas with lots of other people around. *And if you feel that someone is following you, it helps to start acting crazy if they get too close for comfort. *Believe me, this works; just start thrashing around and scream incoherent phrases, like "The bees! *The bees!", or something of that nature. *New Yorkers generally back off if we think you're psychotic.
The subways are safe during the day and relatively safe at night. *If you do take the subway at night, stand far from the edge of the platform and ride either in the front car where the driver is, or the middle car where the conductor is. *It's a general consensus that you shouldn't ride in the rear car of a subway train during off-peak hours.
Other than that, there's very little to be afraid of, provided that you also look both ways before crossing the street. *Have fun, and have a safe trip!
It is on 10th near 49th. *Thanks for the tips. *I live in New Orleans, and I figure it is not going to be too different from walking in the French Quarter, but you can't believe everything you see on tv (because Mardi Gras is only 2 weeks out of the year, but if you see it on tv, it is all day everyday).
Thanks for checking it out for me.
The area is safe, but it's not a touristy neighborhood, it's residential, and not upscale for that matter.

Alex Jones, in his control room in Austin, Texas, in February 2017.
Conspiracy theories are as old as societies. Alex Jones has turned himself into a media mogul with his rising brand InfoWars.com. With the help of the internet and a favorable social climate (ever-growing tribalism of left-right American ideological camps and struggles in institutional media), Jones has ballooned his audience to more than 10 million weekly over his various media.
And with Jones' hammer of intense suspicion, all sorts of things have looked like nails: tap water, public schooling, cellphone signals, weather and pretty much every government and large corporation. Yet, within the noise, there have been many signals.
Jones' was the first media I heard reporting on Hillary Clinton's poor health during the 2016 presidential campaign. Some scoffed and accused him of sexism. Then Clinton collapsed at a 9/11 commemoration, causing all to take note. Jones and his media also reported on government eavesdropping on a massive scale, and then a man named Edward Snowden came forward.
Also during the 2016 presidential campaign, Jones continually reported on Donald Trump's exploding popularity, while practically every other media observer predicted an easy Clinton victory. Specifically, Jones pointed out the frequent inaccuracy of polls — another thing he was right about.
When he's been proven right, and when established national media have failed to report stories and angles Jones covers, American has taken note and turned to InfoWars. But the same factors that contributed to Jones' rise have produced his current predicament.
Then, six months ago, Jones earned a strike on his YouTube channel for doing something he'd done several times previously: express skepticism toward a firsthand account of a school shooting. "False flag" operations are events governments manufacture to help sway the public to agree to a policy. Jones has believed high-profile gun violence incidents have been attempts by the U.S. government to confiscate Americans' firearms.
This time, Jones' conspiracy claim wouldn't go under the radar. This student whose account Jones questioned would become a prominent activist, and news of Jones getting punished for the offending video was met with cheers on left-leaning websites and message boards. From then on, Jones' work — past and present — has been scrutinized.
Another of Jones' taboo beliefs is that mass immigration is directed by a worldwide elite class. This has him pointing out the negatives of illegal immigration and immigrants themselves (sometimes distastefully). This meant another strike and more cheers for his trouble, which meant more scrutiny, which has meant more suspicion from him, which has meant more public pressure from those angry at his positions, demanding media companies to ban him.
Within one 24-hour span earlier this week, Facebook, YouTube and Apple banned almost all traces of Jones' media presence — no more YouTube channels, no Facebook pages, almost no podcast distribution. With this momentum, other companies followed. Spotify removed Jones' podcasts. Disqus disabled all commenting on his websites. MailChimp disabled his e-mail distribution. LinkedIn removed InfoWars's company page, as did Pinterest.
Jones is being disappeared. And in a twist of logic, those angry at Jones' presence online are asking the remaining tech companies — namely, Twitter and Instagram — why they don't drop Jones, the sentiment being, "Why are you condoning Jones' hate?"
Jones' story is a vivid representation of America over the past 10 years: the rise of independent voices, the decline of establishments, a public looking for answers, a public also increasingly easy to offend, a world moving online and the capability of those at the top of a few internet companies to work in concert to silence anyone.
The shame here is that these people at the top did listen to the those who labeled Jones as "other," as a hate-peddling villain in their morality tale, not to be seen by them — or anyone.
Truth is, Alex Jones has been Alex Jones for the past 20 years, offering his versions of the world, ranging from shocking to intriguing to comical to offensive. He may be wrong a lot of the time, but he has proved value as a journalist and certainly (through his audience) as a barometer of America at large. Perhaps the next round of (decentralized) internet tech will prove more robust to hype. And perhaps power over our online lives will be distributed beyond the hands of a few.

New Desalination Technique To Serve Dual Purpose: Providing Clean Drinking Water and Harvesting Lithium for Battery Use
/ Feb 14, 2018
/Meghna
Some of the biggest cities in the world, such as Cape Town, Bangalore and Beijing, are predicted to run out of drinking water — and soon.
With sustainability being key, can conservationists and scientists devise means to preserve and generate clean, potable water?
A group of researchers from Australia's Monash University, research organization CSIRO, and the University of Texas in the US have identified a new desalination technique that can render seawater good for drinking purposes.
Not just this, the method can also recover lithium ions from the same water for use in batteries and storage cells. Co-author of the paper, Huanting Wang, said, "We can use our findings to address the challenges of water desalination." The study was published in Science Advances.
The Desalination Technique
The backbone of the desalination procedure is MOFs (metal-organic framework), a class of crystalline materials composed of organic ligands. They are porous and have a large surface area, making them suitable for trapping and releasing molecules. In the past, MOFs have had several applications in the environment such as carbon emission sponges, water filters, and gas storage.
Unlike in reverse osmosis where membranes are built to keep out most large pollutants, the MOF's membrane pores are super-selective, ultrafast, and much more efficient. The researchers designed this based on the biological phenomenon of 'ion-selectivity', which means the material will be able to specifically interact with and remove certain particles from water. This method used seawater, from which salt ions were removed, leaving behind consumable water.
Another important aspect of the study is the extraction of lithium ions abundant in the salty seawater, which can be extremely useful in battery-powered devices. The Li+ was found leftover in the sponges of the setup, and extracted thereafter.
Advantages of the New MOF-System
The novel desalination technique, apart from serving the purpose of obtaining drinking water, could be preferred over traditional methods due to the following:
It is energy-saving and environment-friendly, as the system does not require excessive amounts of power for pumping water through the filters. Chief scientist at CSIRO, Anita Hill, talked about the sustainability of the MOFs in water filtration, and also its immense value from a "public-good" perspective.
The use of metal-organic frameworks could change the heavy-ion filtering process in industrial wastewater management, especially in mining and other mineral extraction processes.
Interesting highlight of new MOF membranes. "New desalination membrane produces both drinking water and lithium" https://t.co/0Vveg6x2I6 via @nwtls
— CLEAR Labs (@LabsOfCLEAR) February 12, 2018
Wang said, "Global demand for lithium required for electronics and batteries is very high. These membranes offer the potential for a very effective way to extract lithium ions from seawater, a plentiful and easily accessible resource."
In the past, water was subject to harsh and ineffective chemical treatment to extract the lithium. With the advanced material-separation MOF method, there can be growth in the direction of resource recovery from contaminated water. Investigator of the study, Benny Freeman, reiterated its importance.
This innovation paves the way for research and development of more efficient desalination techniques, with the hope that it solves our drinking water problem in a sustainable manner.

The problem was with one of the dogs... He told me that Oggie [the mean yorkie mix I found on the street] had done bloody diarrhea once about an hour before he left to pick me up but, as soon as I walked in, I saw three little puddles of the dreaded 'gellied blood' so typical of HGE [Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis] so I told my husband to drop the suitcase and start the car again while I put his leash on him and out we went to the Emergency Clinic I use. He got subQ fluids, IV antibiotics and a shot of anti-nausea med so I ended up getting to bed at 1 am but, thankfully, he seems to be doing a bit better this morning. And I am sure that part of the reason why he got sick is that he was stressed out by my absence and the change in routine. The idea was for my husband not to go to work while I was out but he got called to do Champion League games and he could not say no as it's an honor to get chosen for them - they are the most prestigious games as they are the ones with the most audiences. And, although I do understand his point [media mostly chooses young, handsome people for sports nowadays], I got really upset about it because it meant the animals schedules were not what they are used to, the birds could not be kept at a solar schedule and the dogs spent long hours by themselves. But, it's done now and everything is back to normal.
Don't be too mad at your husband. He had to watch soccer. I can't think of many worse penances than that.
Watching soccer is no hardship for him - or any male outside the US! It is for me, though. I dislike sports on principle. But I am not mad at him. The poor man made a HUGE effort and even cleaned the house before I got back - and I know it was a mess because my daughter Lara came over to let the dogs out one day at noon and she said I would have flipped if I had seen it! There were three days that he got up at 4:30 am, did all the animals, drove 3 hours, did two games and drove back another 3 hours just to get home to do all the animals again! And he is not only an old man but he is completely unused to doing anything for the animals except play or give them love so this was A LOT of work for him. Thankfully, everything is OK and, when he came down the stairs this morning, Mami was loudly proclaiming her love for 'you' over and over so he came into the kitchen laughing saying "Ahhh, everything is back to normal for sure!" And Oggie is much, much better! He is back to barking, jumping up and down and bothering the other dogs.
I had written my usual long update a couple of days ago and my stupid laptop lost the internet connection before I could post it so I lost the whole thing Here we go again.
The budgies are doing great! I noticed that the hens were not going out of condition so I decided to pay a little extra attention to them early in the am and late in the pm to see what I was doing wrong in terms of light because the diet has already been adjusted to less protein. I figured that the problem was that they were still getting enough light from the lamp across the street through the closed blinds to keep them awake because I could hear them chirping when all the other birds were already either asleep or almost asleep so I started covering their cage and now the hens ceres are slowly changing back to normal. Aside from that, Harley seems to be favoring his left foot and I don't know why. He did this before but he went back to using it without a problem so I thought that maybe he had twisted or sprained it and that it had gotten better on its own but it came back so I need to do something about it. It's not swollen or anything but he doesn't quite perch with it sometimes... he tends to put it on top of the perch while using his right one to grab but, when he is on a flat surface, he puts it down normally so I am thinking maybe a touch of arthritis in his toes but why only in that one foot?
Paquita and Rajah Plet are looking marvelous! The molt left them looking so pretty and they are doing so very well, good appetite and willing to eat a large variety of produce, good poop, etc. And they get along famously! You hardly ever see them together when you are near because Rajah always perches all the way up high while Paquita is constantly 'patrolling' the bottom of the cage making sure that she is there to repeal any invasion so, if you get near, she will run to that side and stand there with her beak open prepared for war And she does the same thing if a dog or a cat put their face near her cage! It's the funniest thing to see this teeny tiny little thing, all fluffed up and mad as a wet hen threatening a big dog with her beak wide open - I LOVE her to pieces! She is such a source of joy to me, with her indomitable spirit! But, once it's time for sleep or a nap, up she goes to snuggle close to Rajah and, if you pay attention, at night, you can hear them chattering to each other in whispers until they fall asleep.
Precie and Zeus Zon are doing VERY well! Not that they seem to mind too much being caged when I am not in the parrot room during the breeding season but they do love being able to roam about when it's not. I haven't been attacked or even gotten a bluff once for months and months and months now so it seems that Zeus has finally calmed down for good in terms of his relationship with humans. It took years but who can blame him when he had been punched by his previous owner?! He likes to be talked to and pays close attention when I do but he has never taken the next step to a closer relationship with me and that's just fine! He has Precie and Precie has him and as long as they are healthy and happy, I am happy too!
I have a flight booked for Monday, Nov/13 in the pm to go down to Miami with the return for very early in the am on Tuesday [leaves at 7:45 which means I need to be at the airport before 6 am - not that I really mind because I am an early riser anyway!]. I already have an approved air carrier and a cage, purchased the airfare and made the reservation [United only allows two pets per flight] and his current owner is taking him to the avian vet this coming week so as to get the health certificate I need to get him into New Jersey. I am staying at the Hilton Miami Airport hotel which has shuttles every 15 minutes to and from the airport terminals so as not to have to rent a car but it's not a pet friendly hotel so I will have to hide him which won't be hard as he will be brought to me at night and we are leaving so early the next morning. It had to be on a Monday because that is the only day my husband is usually home and I had to be back Tuesday morning because if my husband has to work, he can do the food and such early in the am but I don't want them to go an entire day without out of cage time. So, my next update will have news about my new baby! His name is Cheeks and he is a white belly caique.
Aside from that, everybody else is doing fine. I managed to catch four feral kittens of a litter of six and they have been vetted, dewormed, tested for FIV and FeL and socialized to humans, other cats, dogs and even birds and, as I don't charge a single penny for them even though I pay for their vetting out of my own pocket plus I feed them good, expensive food [these kittens were NOT weaned to Purina Kitten Chow!], they go fast because they are beautiful, healthy and affectionate little thing! I am keeping one male back for a while because he had a real bad eye infection and although the infection itself is gone from the oral and topical antiobiotics, his eye is not looking too good and might end up blind so I want to make sure I know what is going to be before I give him away. I never lie about the animals I give away so if he is going to be visually impaired, this is something his new owners need to know before they make the decision to adopt him - but I don't foresee any problems finding him a home... three legged or one eyed animals go faster than 'perfect' ones.
Cheeks, the black capped caique is here! And what a BEAUTIFUL bird he is! I had never had a caique before and although one can see their beauty in pictures, they are even more striking in person. They are the size and body type of Redbellies -well, kind of- and they have the red eyes too but their beaks and feet are a deep, deep black and the orange band is more ochre than the orange chest and belly of the redbellies. I am not happy with his plumage and he is still molting but he will be fine once he molts next year, I think.
He was delivered to my hotel room last night, hidden under his previous owner's jacket because the Hilton Miami AIrport Hotel where I stayed is not a pet-friendly hotel but it was the closest to the airport, it has room service and it has shuttles back and forth from it every 15 minutes starting at 6 am and my flight back to Newark was leaving at 7:45 so it was the most convenient one. We put his sleeping hut in the carrier I had brought with me and I put the carrier, covered with a towel, in the bathroom because I like to fall asleep with the TV on and I wanted him to have complete silence and darkness for a peaceful sleep. This morning, I let him out and he ate one of the three blackberries I had saved for him from my dinner dessert, had some seeds from his usual mix [which is NOT one I would use] and drank water from a coffee cup I cut in half for him. When it was time to leave, I prompted him into the hut and he went in it without a problem. During the flight back, he started making noises that sounded to me as if he was worried so I risked letting him out and, as soon as I opened the little door, he climbed out and up my arm to my shoulder where he stayed the entire flight while I read a book and talked to him softly every now and then and even scratched his head - and he gave me two kisses on my cheek! What a sweetheart! He is now on my shoulder after drinking more water and having a piece of birdy bread and he is seems content enough. Davy Redbelly is not very happy about the new member of the family though... He was the first one to approach him and they kind of beaked each other for a second. But he is taking it out on me, fickle human that I am daring to pay attention to still one more bird! He flew to my other shoulder just to bite me and took two dives at my hands. But it will be OK, he just needs to get used to accepting a new bird same as my other birds have.
I love those goofy little birds. They always seem so happy.
There is a good reason why they are called 'the clowns of the parrot world'! Cheeks doesn't speak but he laughs like a human all the time and I am sure he learned it because you can't help but laugh at their goofy antics.
This morning, he was on my shoulder all the time I was cleaning cages, putting out fresh water and produce but, as soon as I put the gloop in the bowl to mix in the supplements and flavorings, he climbed down real quick and, perching on the edge of the bowl, started eating it as if he had always had it for breakfast -which I know it's not the case! What a wonderful little bird! Now I feel guilty about taking him because, in truth, this little bird would do just fine with anybody and he certainly doesn't need me!
Just a quick note to let you know that Cheeks is doing wonderfully! Even my husband, who is NOT a parrot person, has commented more than once about what a good little bird he is! He has eaten EVERYTHING I have put in front of him - and with gusto! He loves his gloop and can't wait to get to it in the morning, starting to eat it while I am carrying the tray with all the bowls He is no pushover and is now beginning to take the initiative in scaring the other birds that might be perching on the cage he wants to climb on. He also says "Javi' which is how his previous owner's mother would call his ex-human but it seems to me that he thinks that 'Javi' means any human because that's what he says when he wants me to go get him from wherever he is - which I always do because I found him walking on the floor toward me twice and that's something that I discourage. Thing is, he is a very weak flier but he will get better in time.
Does he like your husband? It is the very rare male bird who likes me. Many male birds actively attack me. We have a little cobalt-winged, or orange-chinned, depending on who you ask. He loves everyone but me. He tries to attack my hand if I go into his cage. Save your money, no test neeeded, he's a boy!

Boris Yeltsin was born on February 1; 1931.He lived near the Ural mountains and lived on a farm. He was the oldest of six children. He was also very smart, but a little bit of a troublemaker, and to prove my point he robbed a artillery church took a grenade into a forest and blew off two fingers on his left hand. He was also on the volleyball team during school and when they traveled he was a traveling hobo for two months.
After high school he went to Ural state university and majored in construction. And of course after collage his first job was as a construction worker like his father. And in 1963 he became a chief engineer, and ten years later he was a secretary of the regional committee in charge of the regions industrial development. He once was also the mayor of Moscow.
After all of that he joined the communist party as their secretary in 1976, and in 1987 he was kicked out from his post because he was critizing Gorbachev`s reforms as bad and plain. In 1989 he joined USSR's supreme parliament. In 1991 Yeltsin made history by being the first democratically elected president, and was now Gorbachev`s chief liberal opponent.
He lived in Russia his whole life which is why when you think of Yeltsin you think of the largest country in the world .Even though Yeltsin was attacked by his Russian people after making a speech critizing communism. And in 1993 tanks killed more than 140 people and the Russians blamed it on Yeltsin, but it was really them. So you know now that you can trust the Russians.
I still can't believe he was president of Russia. Mostly because he was an alcoholic and had two heart attacks, and personally I think he was crazy. And I'm sure that all the Russian's were so sad when he retired December 31, 1999 saying " Russia most enter the new millennium with new Politians". Like Vladimir Putin, because that's who took his place. Alas he sadly died 2007 of heart failure.

Maryland Coastal Bays Program and the Ocean Pines Association are continuing a collaborative conservation campaign to improve the health of waterways that shoulder the residential shores of Ocean Pines.
Maryland Coastal Bays Program and the Association are hosting a 2nd Annual Ocean Pines Bay Day, a free public event, on Sunday, May 5 from 11:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. at White Horse Park, located at 235 Ocean Parkway.
The family event aims to capture the interest of all age groups through hands-on environmental activities, free boat tours and kayaking, live music by The String Beanz, a bay-friendly garden demonstration and live animal exhibits.
New this year is an interactive workshop pavilion, a recycling corner and live interactive artwork. The workshop pavilion will include on-site construction of bird, bat and bee homes; seed bomb creation and an interactive bottle cap art piece.
"I am particularly excited about the workshop pavilion. Our hope is that everyone that comes through can leave with an item that can help make their backyards more bay-friendly," said Wist.
Conservation partners from Assateague State Park, Pocomoke River State Park and Chincoteague Bay Field Station are just a few of the 30+ exhibitors that will be in attendance. They will offer event participants the opportunity to meet animals like birds, fish and snakes.
The National Aquarium will have a 56-foot inflatable sei whale on display, giving visitors access to walk through the life-size replica.
Some attendees will receive a tote bag that was hand-painted by students from Cedar Chapel, Berlin Intermediate, Showell Elementary, Stephen Decatur Middle, Pocomoke Middle and Elementary, Snow Hill Middle and Little Dreamers Wellness Center.
"We are excited to be continuing the momentum that we began last year by offering even more for watershed residents to explore in the 2019 Bay Day," said Frank Piorko, executive director of Maryland Coastal Bays Program.
Ocean Pines Bay Day will continue to serve as a catalyst to a year-long campaign to raise awareness and educate residents about environmentally friendly practices that could enhance the quality of local waterways.
"During the past year since the inaugural Bay Day event, we have had a lot of interaction with the Ocean Pines Association and area residents on improving the watershed habitat and water quality of the St. Martin River. We hope the positive trend continues," said Piorko.

Arms draped over shoulders and officers' caps were tucked beneath elbows as the large crowd funneled into the Panebaker Funeral Home on Monday to say goodbye to former Hanover Chief Randy Whitson.
Approximately 250 people came out to Panebaker's over the course of April 19 and 20 to pay their respects to former chief, who had served 37 years on the borough police force.
Photos: Friends, family honor former Hanover police chief
Whitson died April 15 after a year-long battle with cancer. He was 57.
More than 175 people packed into the funeral home April 20, spilling into side rooms and standing in the back, many dressed in various law enforcement uniforms.
Extra chairs were quickly produced as the somber attendees filtered into the three rooms used for the funeral services.
"He was a people person," someone whispered while looking around at the crowd.
The service, which lasted less than an hour, was officiated by chaplain Thomas Shelley and featured members of the York County sheriff's office honor guard detail performing the traditional flag folding sequence before handing the banner to his widow.
In addition to serving on the Hanover borough police force for 37 years, Whitson had served as military policy in Germany and Texas, friends said last week.
Hanover chief of police Dwayne Smith, a close friend to the Whitson family, spoke to the overflowing room during the service.
"There are many ways to measure greatness of a man," said Smith. "One only needs to look around this room to see how great Randy was."
At least five police departments could be observed making the final salute to Whitson's casket that closed a portion of Broadway for 10 minutes.
Whitson's widow clutched the meticulously folded flag as she listened to the bagpipers and watched the uniformed men and women honor the chief one last time.
It was announced during the service that the flag in the center of town will be flown at half staff for the next 10 days to honor Whitson's legacy.

Surprise! Watch Dogs 2 will likely come with its own season pass for DLC content.
Online retailer Amazon lists a $99 Watch Dogs 2 Gold Edition, which hints the upcoming sequel will sport its own season pass. Editions of AAA games in this price tier typically include the base game with a season pass and pre-order incentives while shaving off some $10 or so from buying the content a la carte. Based on the price I'm guessing that Watch Dogs 2 could have about 2-3 pieces of content, likely story-driven add-ons.
Although Ubisoft plans to officially unveil Watch Dogs 2 today at 12 PM EST, we already know a ton about the game thanks to a few leaks. Watch Dogs 2 takes place in San Francisco's Bay Area, it features a brand new African American hipster/punkish hacker protagonist named Marcus, and it's releasing on November 15 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Ubisoft promises that Watch Dogs 2 will "surprise players with a new tone and innovative hacking possibilities," and that the sequel will be the studio's biggest game in 2016. "Our biggest title in Fiscal Year 2017 will be Watch Dogs 2, which will build on the success of the first game," Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said during the FY2017 investor's call.
Watch Dogs 2 will also sport unique DirectX 12 capabilities and be optimized for AMD video cards.
Earlier this morning Twitch accidentally goofed up an ad and revealed even more Watch Dogs 2 content, but the video has since been pulled by Ubisoft.
We'll keep you updated with all the particulars once the Watch Dogs 2 trailer drops at 9AM PST/12PM EST on the official Watch Dogs website.
