Samsung and Google strike patent deal – is there hope for peace with Apple?
Zach Epstein @zacharye
In a move that will hopefully start a trend that eventually kills off the patent wars that have plagued the tech industry for the past few years, Samsung and Google have reached an agreement to license each other's patents. The deal, announced by Samsung on Monday, will see the two companies cross-license each other's patents covering IP that spans a wide range of technologies for 10 years.
"We're pleased to enter into a cross-license with our partner Samsung," said Allen Lo, Google's Deputy General Counsel for Patents. "By working together on agreements like this, companies can reduce the potential for litigation and focus instead on innovation."
Samsung says the deal will grant each company access to the other's massive patent portfolio and allow the two companies to work more closely in the future. It will be interesting to see how that works out over time as Samsung works to slowly lessen its reliance on Android. And perhaps… just perhaps… this deal might be an indication of Samsung's increased willingness to negotiate as it enters a new round of discussions with Apple.
"This agreement with Google is highly significant for the technology industry," Samsung's Intellectual Property Center head Seungho Ahn said. "Samsung and Google are showing the rest of the industry that there is more to gain from cooperating than engaging in unnecessary patent disputes."

Rhopalothrix (от  «булавововидная щетина») — род муравьёв трибы Attini из подсемейства мирмицины (ранее в составе Basicerotini). Австралия, Юго-Восточная Азия, Южная Америка. Около 15 видов.

Описание
Мелкие земляные муравьи коричневого цвета. Тело покрыто многочисленными волосками разнообразной (булавовидной, чешуевидной) формы. Заднегрудка с проподеальными шипиками. Усики короткие, у самок и рабочих 7-члениковые, булава 2-члениковая  (у самцов усики состоят из 13 сегментов). Жвалы рабочих с 6—12 зубцами. Нижнечелюстные щупики 1-члениковые, нижнегубные щупики состоят из 2 сегментов. Голени средних и задних ног без апикальных шпор. Стебелёк между грудкой и брюшком состоит из двух сегментов (петиоль + постпетиоль).

Систематика

Около 15 видов. Rhopalothrix принадлежит к кладе из нескольких близких родов: , , ,  и . До недавнего времени клада трактовалась как триба Basicerotini, впервые выделенная в 1949 году американским мирмекологом Уильямом Брауном (Brown, 1949). Недавнее молекулярно-генетическое исследование мирмициновых муравьёв (Ward et al. 2015) привело к реклассификации всего подсемейства Myrmicinae, и включению родов этой клады (трибы) в состав трибы Attini, принимаемой в расширенном объёме. При этом все роды этой клады (или бывшей трибы Basicerotini) были выделены в неформальную монофилетическую группу родов «Basiceros genus-group». В составе этой группы род Rhopalothrix рассматривается сестринским в кладе ((Rhopalothrix+Protalaridris)+(Basiceros+(Octostruma+(Eurhopalothrix+Talaridris)))).

Q: Expressing an operator in fixed-angle bases Fix $f$ an endomorphism of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\alpha \ne 0$. Suppose $B = \{ v_1, \dots, v_n \}$ is a basis of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with the following properties:

*

*$\langle v_i, v_j \rangle = \alpha$ for $i \ne j$.

*The $v_i$ are unit vectors.

*There exist $\lambda_i \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $f(w) = \sum_{k=1}^n \lambda_k \langle v_i, w \rangle v_k$ for all $w$.

Is $B$ the unique basis satisfying these properties, up to changes of sign?

It's straightforward to rephrase as follows: If $A$ is the matrix with $i$-th column
$$(\alpha, \dots, \alpha , 1, \alpha, \dots, \alpha)^T,$$
where the $1$ occurs at position $i$, then with respect to $B$ we have a matrix expression
$$f = \text{diag}(\lambda_1, \dots, \lambda_n) A =: DA.$$

The question then becomes: Is there a diagonal matrix $D'$ and
  orthogonal matrix $Q \ne I$ such that $$QDAQ^{-1} = D'A?$$

Indeed, $Q$ would then effect the angle-preserving basis change between $B$ and some new basis $B'$.
I'm pretty sure $B$ is unique if $\alpha = 1$, and that it's related to the singularity of $A$ in this case; and I'm quite sure the claim holds generally if $n \le 2$. But I haven't been able to see an argument for all $n$.

I keep going back to Wiki and Civil War history. I saw a link to 'scalawag' and though I had heard the term growing up I did not know what it meant (it was a southerner who was loyal to the Union). Turns out my hometown of New Orleans was heavily scalawag. I did know the city surrendered early I the Civil War, but I thought it was just a military loss. It seems the locals, French influenced and urban were more aligned with the north than the rest of the south. Also a good bit about Newton Knight, who I have never heard of. A radical from Mississippi played by Matthew McConaughey in the recent movie "Free State of Jones". Might have to check it out.


So you are considering a softened water system or you have already installed one in your home. You might be asking yourself if this treated water, while great for reducing scaling in your water pipes or lessening your need for heavy detergents, is a safe and effective alternative for watering garden plants. The following information will help you determine a system that works best for your home and your happy, healthy garden.
Hard water causes pipe build-up known as scale. Installing softened water increases the efficiency of water flow, potentially saving you in maintenance and service for home appliances connected to your water supply system.
Due to decreased residue, softened water saves on time and possibly household chemicals required for cleaning.
Similarly, softened water may reduce the amount of toilet soaps and bath powders you need.
Softened water contains small amounts of sodium. Although safe to drink, this trace amount builds up over time if regularly applied to soil. Salt can interfere with soil structure and plants' ability to draw water. Therefore, while short-term, infrequent use of softened water will not harm your garden, it is inadvisable to solely use softened water for garden maintenance.
A water softening unit removes minerals and replaces them with another ion, typically sodium. Although rainfall helps the problem by washing away salt from soil, there remains no real benefit to using softened water in your garden. Additionally, if you regularly run large amounts of softened water into your garden, you incur undue costs to run the unit and for utilities. Softened water for garden maintenance proves more wasteful than plain tap water or, even better, natural rainwater.
While softened water provides many benefits inside your home, outdoors the circumstances differ. The impact of softened water varies depending on the particular plant. But in general we know that plants, and the soils they inhabit, can only tolerate so much sodium content. There would be no real advantage to running water that is intended for your garden through a softener system. This is not to dispute the practical, hygienic and possibly even health benefits to owning softened water. If you limit use to your sinks, showers, water heater and the like, you can enjoy the benefits of softened water and keep your garden well.
After carefully considering the pros and cons of using softened water, it is to every homeowner best interest to ask for professional advice whether or not softened water works best in one's garden maintenance. Important water maintenance information can be found at Lagan Water.

Q: Mongodb multiple key aggregation by date (from timestamp) I have a mongodb collection with millions of records regarding transactions.  I would like to create a query aggregated by date and resolution.
My document look like:
{
    "_id": "Dan",
    "finish_date": "2017-01-02 15:23:45.234Z",
    "resolution": "canceled"
}
{
    "_id": "John",
    "finish_date": "2017-01-02 18:54:19.090Z",
    "resolution": "completed"
}
{
    "_id": "Pete",
    "finish_date": "2017-01-02 19:11:27.418Z",
    "order_resolution": "completed"
}

I would like the query output to look something like:
{
    "2017-01-02" : {
        "canceled": 1,
        "completed": 2,
    }
}
{
    "2017-01-03" : {
        "completed": 5,
    }
}

Is this even possible?  Currently, my output looks like:
{
    "_id" : {
        "curDate" : "2017-01-02",
        "reason" : "canceled"
    },
    "count" : 1.0
}
    "_id" : {
        "curDate" : "2017-01-02",
        "reason" : "completed"
    },
    "count" : 2.0
}
{
    "_id" : {
        "curDate" : "2017-01-03",
        "reason" : "completed"
    },
    "count" : 5.0
}

The query looks like:
db.collection.aggregate(
    [
        {
            "$match": {
                "finish_date": {
                    "$gt": new Date("2017-01-02"),
                    "$lt": new Date("2017-01-08")
                }
            }
        },
        {
            "$group" : {
                _id : {
                    curDate: {
                        $substr: ["$finish_date", 0, 10]
                    },
                    reason: "$resolution"
                },
                count: { "$sum": 1 }
            }
        },
        {
            "$sort": { "_id.curDate": 1, "_id.reason": 1 }
        }
    ]
)

A: You can use the new operator $arrayToObject available in 3.4.4 version with below aggregation query.
$group by curDate and push the reason and count values into reasoncount array.
$zip the reason and count array values together followed by $arrayToObject to create reason and count structure.
Same logic to create a curDate structure while keeping the previous reason and count structure.
db.collection.aggregate(
    [
        {$match:{finish_date:{$gt: new Date("2017-01-02"),$lt: new Date("2017-01-08")}}},
        {$group:{_id:{curDate:{$substr:["$finish_date",0,10]},reason:"$resolution"},count:{$sum: 1}}},
        {$sort:{"_id.curDate":1,"_id.reason":1}},
        {$group:{_id:"$_id.curDate", reasoncount:{$push:{reason:"$_id.reason",count:"$count"}}}},
        {$addFields:{reasoncount: {$arrayToObject:{$zip:{inputs:["$reasoncount.reason", "$reasoncount.count"]}}}}},
        {$group:{_id:null, result:{$push:{curDate:"$_id",reasoncount:"$reasoncount"}}}},
        {$addFields:{result: {$arrayToObject:{$zip:{inputs:["$result.curDate", "$result.reasoncount"]}}}}}
    ]
)


The photograph above was my introduction to Pentti Sammallahti. I was altogether charmed by it. In some ways, it's not at all representative of Sammallahti's work; it's clearly manipulated in post processing and it features an amphibian. In other ways, however, it's a classic example of his photography. It shows the stark landscape of Northern Europe, it utilizes a very clearly defined horizon line, the subject is an animal, and it displays a certain puckish sensibility.
Pentti Sammallahti was born in Helsinki in 1950 and has become one of Finland's pre-eminent photographers. His work tends to explore the relationship between humans, animals and nature. He manages to somehow combine a rather formal Finnish aesthetic with a wry Scandinavian sense of humor. The animals in his photographs aren't simple generic beasts; they generally either exhibit a very distinct personality or they're depicted in some sort of relationship with a human.
Because of the landscapes he features in his work…the flat, sparsely populated regions of Lapland, with their marshes and unending lines of pine forests…Sammallahti often uses a panoramic camera. This perspective highlights the feelings of isolation and space, which often has the effect of creating the impression of hardy independence in both his human and animal subjects. By working almost exclusively in black and white, the 'chilliness' of the landscape is enhanced.
Sammallahti is also one of those photographers who are engaged in the entire photographic process. Not just the taking of the photograph, but the developing and printing as well. With his art books, which are necessarily printed in small number limited editions, Sammallahti takes the photographs, makes the prints, designs the layout, and selects the typography. He's even been known to operate the rotogravure printing presses.
That sort of attention to detail and quality pays off. As a result, Sammallahti (who had been teaching at Finnish universities for 17 years) was awarded an unprecedented 15 year arts grant from the government of Finland.
Since leaving the university Sammallahti has traveled more widely, taking photographs in the Welsh countryside, in Nepal, in Japan, in Turkey. Despite the radical differences in the environment in which he takes his photographs, his work retains the same simple aesthetic, not to mention the same formality, the same charm, and the same wit.
For me, the real magic of the work comes from the fact that the animals in his photographs always seem to be going about their business in a matter-of-fact but still delightful way. One senses they move through the frame…that they're just passing by and in the next instant, they'll be gone. And yet the landscape will remain, unchanging and unaffected and constant. That balance between the ephemeral and the etermal is, I think, the true theme of Pentti Sammallahti's work.

"To Paradise" by Hanya Yanagihara
Excited for next Tuesday, January 11th, 2022, as the new book from our favourite author is coming out: "To Paradise" by Hanya Yanagihara. Just pre-order it as an audiobook on Audible (it's 28 hours long). Hanya Yanagihara, the acclaimed 2015 novel A Little Life, is not fooling around with her wildly ambitious new book.
It threads together three separate timelines—an alternate history of America circa 1893, a contemporary Manhattan story in 1993, and a futuristic vision of our ravaged and totalitarian nation in 2093. It's three fin de siècle novels in one, stitched into one powerful concept—nothing less than the American experiment's past, present, and future.
16 New Books Coming in January – The New York Times:
Yanagihara, the editor of T Magazine and the author of "A Little Life," imagines alternate Americas, the first in 1893, when the country consists, post-Civil War, of separate territories; another in 1993, when a Hawaiian man living in New York reckons with his past as the city confronts H.I.V.; and the third in 2093, when America is beset by pandemics and authoritarian rule.

An introduction to the life and work of Joy Batchelor on the hundredth anniversary of her birth.
Joy was a director, animator, producer and designer and one half of the Halas & Batchelor Cartoons Studio, which made the UK's first animated feature film, Animal Farm, in 1954. Although a crucial figure in British animation, she has for years been unfairly passed over for recognition.
This short film made in her honour seeks to redress that balance and to introduce Joy's work to a wider audience. The film was produced by her daughter, Vivien Halas.

Out of all the wisdom he gives his younger self he also advises- "Savor those parathas buddy. They'll become quite a luxury in years to come". Kohli celebrated his birthday vacationing in Bhutan with wife Anushka Sharma who has been posting pictures of their trek and meetings with the villagers who did not recognize them.
The cricketer was rested from the ongoing three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series. The Indian batting line-up failed to live up to expectation at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. India lost the opening encounter, falling to their first defeat to Bangladesh in the shortest format. Mushfiqur Rahim played a fine knock to lead the visiting country to a historic win. The second T20I is scheduled to be held on November 7 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. The third and the final match will be held at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on November 10.
Kohli will be part of the matches starting from November 14 when India & Bangladesh will play a two-match Test series in Indore. In the recent past, the Indian team captain led the number one-ranked Indian Test team to clean sweep victories over the West Indies in the Caribbean and South Africa at home. India registered their 11th consecutive Test series triumph at home and consolidated their lead at the top of the ICC Test Championship points table with its win against South Africa.

Q: Opening and closing connections to SQL Server I am working in a small team of about a dozen developers on a project being written in C# WPF as the infrastructure/dba.  As I run traces against the SQL Server to see how performance is going, what I am seeing is a constant:
open connection
run some statement
close connection
exec sp_reset_connection
open connection
run some statement
close connection
exec sp_reset_connection
open connection
run some statement
close connection
exec sp_reset_connection
And so on and on and on.  I have spoke with the devs about this and some have mentioned possible situations where a foreach loop may be encompassing a using statement so a foreach through a datatable would open and close connections throughout the contents of the datatable.
Question:  Is getting better control of the constant opening and closing of connections a worthy goal or are connections really that cheap?  My logic is that while opening and closing a connection may relatively be cheap, nothing is cheap when done in sufficiently large numbers.
Details:

*

*.Net Framework 4.5.1

*SQL Server 2014

*Entity Framework 6

A: If you use entity framework, you should create the context just before you need it and dispose it as soon as possible:
using (var someContext = new SomeContext())
{

}

The reason is to avoid memory building up and to avoid thread-safety issues.
Of course, don't do this in a loop - this is at the level of a request.

A: Opening and closing connections to a database are relatively expensive, as can be read in detail here: Performance Considerations (Entity Framework), but I think the same concept mostly applies without EF. During loops, it's usually not recommended to open and close the connection every time, but instead open it, process all rows and close the connection.
The answer would be to let the using encompass the loop, instead of the other way around. If performance is relevant (it almost always is), it definately pays to put effort into efficiënt data access, especially early in the development process.

A: If performance is an issue, but you don't want to refactor code you should consider setting a ConnectionPooling = true in the connections string.
Connection pooling allows one to keep physical connection, which is generally expensive to setup, while disposing logical connection.

Breaking down barriers to make physical mobility possible for all
By Sacha Geer, Jennifer Gillies
EAIE Forum
One result of the COVID-19 pandemic has been an intensified focus on virtual mobility opportunities. Simultaneously, global conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging within higher education have become common.
Virtual mobility opportunities represent an important means of enabling access for students who have historically been excluded from physical international mobility opportunities, but more can be done to address these inequities. Creating change that enables physical mobility opportunities to be a viable option for equity-deserving student such as those with disabilities, requires an emphasis on student support, a removal of historical and structural barriers, and a willingness to re-examine the underlying rationale within our international agreements.
The University of Waterloo's AccessAbility Services and Global Learning teams – which work on accommodation and operationalisation of international exchange agreements, respectively – forged a novel partnership in 2020 to enable a reconsideration of traditional exchange opportunities within a human rights framework. Supported by a Canada Outbound Student Mobility Innovation grant, we engaged over 1000 students with disabilities as paid contributors to the design and development of resources aimed at removing disability-related barriers to international exchange. Their insights expanded our awareness of the importance of identifying and addressing the needs of students from an intersectional, human rights perspective and provoked us to consider the historical constraints inherent within exchange partnerships.
Universally accessible
Accommodating difference is often the strategy used to enable a person with a disability to mitigate barriers. However, the goal should be to create systems that do not require that accommodation. A universally accessible approach is fundamental in creating environments where everyone benefits from the enhanced accessibility features of a space or system, including within international exchange.
A universally accessible approach is fundamental in creating environments where everyone benefits from the enhanced accessibility features of a space or system.
While the project identified the information and support needs of students with disabilities, it was evident that this information and support would be beneficial to all students. Many students who do not identify as having a disability still benefit from access to information that enables them to make informed decisions that promote their wellness and safety while abroad.
While students with disabilities require support in building a nuanced understanding of destinations and of differences in academic culture related to their academic, housing and other accommodation needs, all students benefit from information about an exchange destination's culture, amenities and support. We are not encouraging the removal of disability from the discussion; we are encouraging normalised discussions related to disability and wellness that are likely to benefit all students.
Student participants expressed distinctly that disability was only one facet of their identity, and that their experiences were impacted by the intersectionality of disability with other aspects such as their race, sexual orientation and gender.
Like all travellers, students make pragmatic decisions about destinations based on myriad identity markers. We learned from racialised students with disabilities that they feared prejudice and heightened surveillance when crossing borders at home and abroad with large quantities of necessary medication. We learned from transgender students with disabilities that it is critical for their sense of safety and wellness to only consider destinations where their gender identity and gender expression can be affirmed and protected.
Failing to acknowledge and address the intersectionality of student identities, and the impact that has on their ability to engage in an exchange, will prevent them from attempting such a journey.
Students with disabilities experience myriad barriers that prevent them from even considering an exchange opportunity. The barriers are interpersonal, structural, procedural and systemic. It is important to determine which barriers are arbitrary and should be removed, and which barriers are more difficult or impossible to ameliorate. We learned that many barriers were in place as a result of convenience, tradition or well-intended beliefs, which contribute to systemic exclusion.
We learned that many barriers were in place as a result of convenience, tradition or well-intended beliefs, which contribute to systemic exclusion.
This project created an opportunity to identify and remove the most pressing barriers. For example, some students identified that a significant barrier to exchange was the lack of detailed information about disability support at a host school and destination. It was clear that the information traditionally offered to students assumed that those without disabilities were the default travellers. By reframing the image of our prospective exchange student, we were better able to determine the information relevant to them, thereby enabling them to make informed decisions on whether exchange was viable for them.
Other barriers are not within our control: for example, most students noted concerns about accessing necessary medication abroad. While we can't provide better access to medication, we can ensure that prospective students understand the risks, have access to resources to determine whether they can plan safely to meet their medication needs, and are able to use this information to select exchange locations that may work for them.
Further barriers, such as course load requirements, grade average requirements and other eligibility criteria, may appear neutral and essential, but when examined from a disability and human rights framework, it becomes clear that many students are excluded by design, and that design can and should be questioned. In considering barriers, it is important to consider access – who is included and excluded from beneficial opportunities? Who benefits and who loses out from exemption criteria? What latitude do we have to consider alternatives?
Equity and access lens
As conversations regarding equity, diversity and inclusion are becoming embedded in our work, we note that these concepts are not equal in achieving a desired outcome. While concepts like inclusivity and diversity assist in calling people in, they do not necessarily require that we disrupt the status quo to remove unnecessary barriers that prevent access.
While concepts like inclusivity and diversity assist in calling people in, they do not necessarily require that we disrupt the status quo.
By applying an equity and access lens to our work, we can reflect on all of our roles in this work: How long has it been since we looked at the real value and perceived value of international exchange and considered whether these reflect the realities of all students? If we truly value the benefits of full cultural immersion, are we not obliged to continuously improve access for all? Can we make allowances within the scope of our partnerships that target the needs of students with disabilities as well as other intersectional identity categories? Can we vet our international agreements as well as our operational practice with a clearer eye towards ensuring a broader section of students can be supported and can thrive?
Aiming for belonging and the promotion of human rights requires internationalisation professionals to collaborate more closely with others across campus who have not traditionally been involved in internationalisation work. Tremendous expertise exists within disability offices, offices that support racialised students and offices and services that support 2SLGBTQIA+ students , and among students themselves. While this project aimed to identify and remove barriers to exchange for students with disabilities, we became more acutely aware of the importance of addressing the needs of students from an intersectional, human rights perspective. By embedding equitable internationalisation practices within the institution, we are better able to reflect on important questions about equity and belonging for all students.

This healthy Vegetarian lentil soup features white onion, carrots and three different kinds of lentil beans, green, red and brown. Perfect soup for colder weather, fall or winter. Can be served with bread, chips or by itself. It is amazing in taste and as I stated above healthy! If you find yourself in need for great lentil beans soup, don't hesitate and go for it.
Although this lentil soup calls for quite a few ingredients, it is relatively easy to make. It boils down to 3 core vegetables, onion, carrots, and lentils.
Look at these pretty simple ingredients below that make this delicious vegetarian lentil soup.
So here we go! 🙂 Dice an onion peel the carrots and cut into strips.
A large pot will be needed to start cooking onions and carrots. I used about 6 quarts pot.
Next step is to add water, culinary vegetable stock, tomatoes and bring your soup to a boil and set it to medium. Continue cooking for about 25 more minutes.
Add your collard greens ( you can replace collard greens with kale if you prefer)and, season with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes.
Last but not least squeeze the lemon to season with fresh lemon juice and serve while the soup is hot!
This vegetable lentil soup can be made with a variety of different meats or vegetables.
Try chicken, beef, ham hock, bacon, ham bone, sausage or spinach, kale. Honestly it will taste fantastic with any vegetable or meat.
Of course when you get a chance please take a look at more of our soup recipes.
How to make vegetarian lentil soup?
Healthy vegetarian lentil soup - White onion, carrots and three different kinds of lentil beans, green, red and brown. I promise you will fall in love with this recipe!
Dice onion into medium small squares, peel carrots and cut into thin stripes.
Preheat olive oil in a large size pot (about 6 quarts). Add onion and carrots and cook until onion becomes translucent. Spice with curry and fresh thyme.
Take about 16 oz. of soup broth and vegetables and set aside to cool down. Once it's cool, blend it well and pour back into the pot, which will make the soup texture thicker.
Squeeze ½ a lemon and spice with red pepper flakes and thinly cut scallion stem. Serve while hot and enjoy!
I would love to see Kale in this soup, opposed to collard greens.
Yeah, Kale would also be a great option for this soup.

Letters: Tories lie about Universal Credit—and you're paying
Published Tue 21 May 2019
Issue No. 2655
Protesters against Universal Credit in 2018 (Pic: Jane Clendon)
Universal Credit (UC) officials have orchestrated an elaborate PR campaign to counter the exposure of their sorry excuse for a welfare system.
Internal documents were leaked to the Disabled People Against Cuts (Dpac) campaign.
They show a plan to release fake pro-UC "articles" and to have a wraparound ad for UC on the free Metro newspaper. The Metro ad is costing £250,000 of public money.
The news made me sick—and angry.
As a disabled lone parent of a disabled child I stand to lose at least £400 a month when we're transferred to UC.
This little bit of money keeps us afloat. One aspect of this is carer's allowance (CA). New UC rules mean we can't claim CA as well as the disability element of UC for our own needs.
This doesn't change the fact that my child has complex needs and needs constant one to one care, or that I am a parent carer.
I can't drive due to medical conditions and medication.
I rely on taxis to get to the many and varied medical appointments and consultations me and my son need to attend.
Some weeks there are more than four appointments.
A trip to the clinic to pick up my son's prescription, due to it being for a controlled drug, costs
£10 each way. Followed by a trip to the pharmacy, it can cost upwards of £40 in taxi fares.
That's not considering the costs of the equipment my son needs and the maintenance of it, or adaptations my disabilities require.
The government is lying and the mainstream media is ignoring the issue. That terrifies me and it should terrify you because when they're done with disabled and low income earners, you will be next.
On 31 May Dpac is calling on comrades to remove the Metro. We will beat this or die trying. I prefer option A. Join me.

Hound the hated Kyle
A man who failed a lie detector test on the Jeremy Kyle show killed himself shortly afterwards.
The only surprise is that this has not happened before.
The Jeremy Kyle show played on the basest emotions with bourgeois morality as its framework.
It was always the poorest and least educated elements of the working class who appeared on his show, consciously reinforcing the "chav" image.
Wherever Jeremy Kyle appears he should be hounded and never left to forget his anti-working class behaviour.

Right royal cash waste
It's good to know that royals spend the money we give them so wisely.
Former Financial Times journalist Lucy Kellaway spent a night in London's most expensive hotel room, courtesy of the paper's Travel Section.
The previous guest had been a royal—spending five nights at the Mandarin Oriental's penthouse for £210,000.
We will never know if the royal was as underwhelmed as Kellaway was by the atmosphere of "sterility, drabness and vulgarity". But it's unlikely she or he was as surprised as Kellaway by the £34 bill for breakfast the next morning.
Join our Portsmouth protest against Trump
Donald Trump will no doubt get a very warm welcome from protesters in London on 4 June.
We'd also like to give him the welcome he deserves the next day in Portsmouth.
Trump is coming here to muscle in on the commemorations for the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
In Portsmouth Stand Up To Racism we feel it is outrageous that a man who has encouraged the far right should be here when those who fought are being remembered. Trump has united many people against him—feminists, anti-racists, climate change activists and peace campaigners.
So we hope that lots of people will join us in Guildhall Square to protest against the presence of this despicable man.
Join our day of protest and celebration of multiculturalism and anti-racism.
It's everything that Trump hates.
Penny Foskett
The BBC is no champion of anti-racism
The BBC concerned about racism—that's a laugh.
It gives Nigel Farage peak viewing time ad nauseum and invited Nazi Nick Griffin to have a cosy chat and broadcast his filth.
When does the BBC ever broadcast positive reports about Travellers, Muslims, immigrants or other working class people?
Muslims regularly feed homeless people—is this ever on the BBC?
Travellers are invisible except if there's a negative story. Working class people generally do not exist.
When does the BBC report the massive demonstrations there have been lately against racism and fascism?
I've been on them so I know they happened.
We are living in a time when racism has been made respectable and mainstream, and the BBC has played its part in bringing us here.

Don't hope for EU reformism
Prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Socialist Worker's strapline was, "Neither Washington nor Moscow but International Socialism."
With much of the left pinning their hopes on the European Union to deliver reform, is it time we re-emphasise that we are international socialists and proud of it?

Carl Benjamin is no liberal
Ukip's Carl Benjamin claims to be a liberal, but mostly covers pseudo-intellectual alt-right talking points.
I've yet to see him talk about any real socioeconomic issues and I've watched quite a few of his videos.

Farage's new party stinks
Nigel Farage is an opportunist racist (Brexit Party rally—perfume can't hide scent of money and a dash of racism, Socialist Worker 15 May).
Cindy Houseman
Or in some cases racism with a dash of money. Either way it stinks.

Tories have got to go now
Theresa May has to be forced out, but not because of Brexit.
While the world's media waffles about that, the Tories carry on dreaming up ways to hurt the working class.
They've got to go now.
It isn't a "Meaningful Vote" if you have FOUR OF THEM!

The Lost Fleet #3: Courageous, by Jack Campbell (Ace, 2008)
Posted on July 25, 2009 by Michael M. Jones
Captain John "Black Jack" Geary is in for the fight of his life. He awoke from a century-long slumber in a survival pod to find himself rescued by a fleet that reveres him for his military record and heroic actions, a fleet that seems to have forgotten everything it once knew about intelligent tactics, smart battle maneuvers, and military strategy. And when the highest-ranking members of the fleet's command structure were killed, he was forced to assume command by virtue of technical seniority. Trapped deep behind enemy lines in the heart of Syndicate space, possessing a vital piece of information, and in command of the Alliance's largest space fleet, only "Black Jack" Geary has what it takes to try and get his people home.
It hasn't been easy in the least. They've lost ship after ship, been forced to run from star system to star system, been required to invent new tactics on almost a daily basis, and outguess their enemies over and over. Meanwhile, Geary's had to contend with internal strife from his fellow captains and commanders, deal with the hero worship, and keep up morale as he teaches the fleet not just how to fight, but to win. And so the Lost Fleet has made its way through Syndic space, leaving behind a trail of destruction and mayhem and shattered Syndic forces, as they overcome the odds repeatedly. But can even Geary sustain a winning record? It's starting to look grim. The Syndics are starting to catch up to him, starting to understand his tactics. Now he's got to take the biggest gamble yet. With choices running low and his subordinate captains again challenging his authority, he makes a desperate stab for the Lakota system, which might just offer the way home, if he can make a run for the hypergate stationed there. And that's when the Syndic flotillas start showing up from every angle. Outgunned, outnumbered, low on fuel and ammunition, Geary's going to have to make some sacrifices if any of his ships are to survive. And naturally, no plan actually survives first contact with the enemy…
Courageous is the third book in the Lost Fleet series, and it's almost non-stop action and conflict. When Geary's not hammering Syndic forces with his unorthodox military tactics, he's dealing with internal politics from disgruntled subordinates and those who'd rather fight than run. To compound problems, his civilian advisor/lover, Victoria Rione has been acting cold and strange towards him, and his enemies are spreading rumors of an unprofessional relationship with another captain. Geary just can't seem to catch a break, and that's before he's forced to invent desperate new tactics on the fly.
Jack Campbell does an excellent job with the space battles in this book, and I don't envy him the necessity of keeping dozens of ships spread over multiple fleets and flotillas clear from one another. It's a hallmark of his talent in this arena that he can coordinate such large battles and make them both exciting and coherent, so that even someone without a military background of their own can follow and enjoy the action. He makes the victories and losses equally powerful, so when a ship dies, it's like losing a member of the cast. You can feel the tension Geary is under as he deals with the compounding issues and threats and obligations.
There's very little character description, and very few of the primary cast beyond Geary and his closest confidantes are fleshed out past some identifying traits, and for this series, that's okay. Campbell's good at imbuing the characters with enough life to carry them from battle to battle, and let's face it, this series is about John Geary, a man who as good as came back from the dead to lead his people to safety. I don't know if that makes him a King Arthuresque figure, or a two-fisted Moses stand-in (and it gets worse once people start muttering about how Geary should overthrow the Alliance government and put an end to a century of war that way…) but Geary plays his role well, trying to live up to a legend and chafing at it nonetheless.
My big complaint is the cliffhanger at the end of this book, and the news that it'll be another six months before we see the continuation. I like John Geary, and Captain Desjani, and Victoria Rione, and I want to see if they'll all make it home with the fleet, or if, like Moses, Geary won't actually enjoy the fruits of his labors. I want to see how they'll get out of this latest mess, and if their dire predictions are indeed as accurate as they suspect. Do the Syndics really have hidden allies with frightening power, or is a larger game being played?
The Lost Fleet is some of the best military science fiction on the shelves today, and Courageous doesn't disappoint in the least. I'll eagerly be awaiting the next installment in the series.

Hadrian's Wall: Life on the Roman...
0:07Skip to 0 minutes and 7 secondsWe're here at the tombstone of Aurelia Aureliana, displayed today in the Great North Museum in Newcastle, but originally found, actually, at Gallows' Hill in Carlisle. And looking at a classic example of third century women's dress, in this case we're at Aurelia Aureliana in a woven gallic cloak reaching down to her ankles. She is actually carrying a bouquet of poppies, that's part of the funerary symbolism that we have here, a reference to the afterlife. Something that's also picked up, actually, with the pine cones. Pine cones are very frequently associated, also, with funerary art.
0:49Skip to 0 minutes and 49 secondsThe dedication here which, makes no explicit reference, interestingly enough, of any military personnel starts with the classic D M, dis manibus, gives us a name, Aurelia Aureliana, not, one might think, the most imaginative of names. And it tells us how long she lived, an interesting bit of Latin spelling here. In this case, v, i, x, s, i, t, 'vixsit.' Now, on the next line, we come to age at death, annos. We find various combinations of this formula, sometimes abbreviated a double n, sometimes an expansion, annorum, here annos, and then Roman numerals. Four X's for forty, and a downward stroke, to make it 41.
1:34Skip to 1 minute and 34 secondsWe then hear it is her husband, Ulpius Apolinaris, who actually sets up the tombstone in her name. Very important, in Roman tombstones, as we know, to make sure the dedicant's name is recorded. And he sets this up to his coniugi to his wife, carissime, his most beloved wife. And there we finish off with posvit. So, coniugi carissime posuit. And that is the memorial to Aurelia Aureliana.
The couple from Carlisle
In this step a tombstone from Gallows Hill, Carlisle, at the western end of the Wall, provides a glimpse of a frontier couple. They stand to remind us of the many ordinary families in the frontier zone who are often overlooked in discussions of the Wall.
A conspicuous aspect of Roman frontier society was its emphasis on memorialisation and the written word. Soldiers are disproportionately well commemorated in tombstones that survive from Roman Britain, but it is clear that the desire to document and to be documented in stone was not restricted to the fighting men. A large proportion of the surviving Romano-British epitaphs recording non-combatants come from the Wall zone too.
In this video we discuss the tombstone of Aurelia Aureliana (RIB 959), erected by her husband Ulpius Apolinaris sometime in the early third century AD. Interestingly, Apolinaris makes no reference to any military affiliations on the epitaph, something that serving soldiers and veterans alike tended to do, so it is quite possible that he was a civilian too.

Yesterday I decided to take on the daunting task of completely de-boning a whole chicken to make what is known as a Ballantine (Ballotine) – I am still not sure which is the correct spelling, but lucky for me this is a cooking blog and not a literary one.
Since this was my first time attempting this process I looked to the master, Chef Jacques Pépin. The video link posted below is nothing less than incredible, it's like watching Michelangelo sculpt the statue of David….only in this case, David is a 5 pound chicken.
I followed his instructions step by step and my chicken was de-boned to perfection. Of course Chef makes it look like child's play, which after a few four-letter words and some deep breaths, I learned was a little more difficult than he makes it appear.
Either way, the chicken came out awesome! I decided to stuff it with my mom's classic Thanksgiving stuffing recipe because with this recent NYC fall-like weather, I have been craving the tastes of Thanksgiving.
I plan to make this Ballantine again in the future for Sunday Football, but plan to go along the flavor profile of Buffalo Chicken!
If you're looking for a great way to get to know the anatomy and structure of a chicken, this is an awesome way to try! The best part is, I was able to use all the bones and carcass of the chicken to make a homemade Stock from which I then made a delicious gravy to serve alongside my Ballantine!
Make your stuffing: In a cast iron pan, cook your sausage, breaking up with a spoon until it's no longer pink. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, and place in a large bowl. Dump out all but 1 teaspoon of the sausage fat from the pan, and over a medium heat saute your onion and celery for about 8 minutes (until soft and translucent). Add the onion/celery to the sausage. Mix in the breadcrumbs, mozzarella and egg until incorporated. Reserve.
Place the chicken with the seam side down in the same cast iron pan you made the stuffing in. Drizzle generously with Olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for an hour and 20 minutes (basting every so often with the juices that collect in the pan). Let rest for 15 minutes before removing the twine and slicing.


When Rory was a toddler, a kidney transplant at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) saved his life. Today, he's a happy and active 6-year-old.
When Marina was 8, her family moved from Egypt to the U.S. to get the best care for her kidney condition. Today, Marina is in college.
Gideon received a kidney transplant at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, with his father as a donor. Today, he is an active 3-year-old.
Diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) at age 2, Caitlin's family knew a kidney transplant would be needed. Four years later, she received a kidney at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Diagnosed with cystinosis as a toddler, Daniel's family knew he'd eventually need a kidney transplant. At 18, he received the transplant at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Born with nephrotic syndrome, Dede was sick her entire life. After years trying to manage the disease, Dede's doctors recommended she receive a kidney transplant.
Siblings Yusuf and Khadija were both diagnosed with MMA, a life-threatening genetic disease. Successful transplants have improved their quality of life.
Mason was suffering from kidney failure and severe hypertension. Now he is growing and developing as he receives dialysis while awaiting a kidney transplant.


The Anafon Hydro Scheme is the latest community venture in Abergwyngregyn. It is not the power of the Aber Falls that will be driving the scheme, but water from the Anafon valley, taken out at one point and returned further downstream once it has passed through our turbine house.
The scheme will be owned and managed by Ynni Anafon Energy Cyf, an Independent Provident Society set up to build and run this community hydro scheme. There are opportunities for all, not just villagers, to be involved, through owning shares. Full information on the share issue is on our Anafon Hydro website, see below.
