Wynford may have a slightly different approach to practices early in the season based on returning players, but the overall goal remains the same.
HOLMES TOWNSHIP - Things are a little different at Wynford this year — but at the same time, exactly the same.
Instead of being loaded with skill players and having to build from the outside in, the Royals return a core of lineman and enter the season relatively inexperienced elsewhere.
"It's different for us than years past where we were turning over linemen. Maybe three or four years, we lost every lineman but one," Wynford coach Gabe Helbert said. "This year is different because we lose a lot of skill, but we return line, so it's a flip of what it has been. Relying on the line, they're going to be our strength on the offensive and defensive side of the game.
"We just have to rely on those guys and hope they can instill confidence on the ones with little experience."
One key position Helbert won't have to worry about much is quarterback.
Senior Joel Griffin will be under center for the Royals and will make his fifth career start after taking over for Wyatt Smith last season after he suffered a season-ending injury.
"Anytime you can have a little bit of experience at the quarterback position returning, you have to feel pretty good about that," Helbert said. "He was able to play some meaningful games at the end of the year. Hopefully he can rely on that and understands the speed of the game a little better than he did before he took over for Wyatt.
"He has definitely shown some confidence and leadership that we've been looking for this summer. We've been happy to see that."
Griffin notched wins over Seneca East, Upper Sandusky and Buckeye Central last year before the Royals fell to Carey in the first round of the playoffs. He finished the season with 240 yards passing, one touchdown, six interceptions and a 45.7 completion percentage while rushing for 307 yards and six scores.
"I think it helped me get the speed of the varsity game," Griffin said. "I didn't play quarterback hardly at all before Wyatt got hurt. This year I'm going to have a feel for the game and the speed of the game which is a lot different than the JV level."
Losing key skill players out wide will be something the team has to adjust to, but it shouldn't put a damper in the Royals' offensive production.
"We may run the football a little more," Helbert said. "We have been a running team and a dominant running team, but we'll try to utilize things we haven't really had as much like multiple backs and more so relying on the backs to run and less so the quarterback."
The championship mentality at the school hasn't changed, either. Boasting a perfect record in the N10 over the past four years and four league titles to match that, Helbert said his players know what is expected of them when they put on a Royals uniform.
"I think it's the guys that have come before them that set the standard," Helbert said. "All the way back to 2005 when we were fortunate to get the ball rolling and really heading in the right direction. The biggest thing is understanding each year is different, every year is going to take a tremendous amount of work in the off-season and a tremendous amount of consistent work in that time period and these guys understand that. We understand it's going to be a huge challenge, there are a lot of good teams in our league and every year is different.
"Defending really means nothing, you have to go out and hunt for your next championship."

The Art of Politics Was Surely Welcome in the San Diego Theater Scene of 2019
By Martin Jones Westlin | December 25, 2019 | 0

France Finally Called, and Marty's Doing a Whole Lot More Than Listen
By Martin Jones Westlin | September 17, 2019 | 1
We already know we only live once. Until the proverbial bolt out of the blue, it's the 'where' we're not necessarily aware of. Amid his colossally advanced chronology, theater critic Martin Jones Westlin has found his answer, and he elaborates in his final column for San Diego Story.
Terrific Tech Effort Doesn't Justify Displaced 'Miss Saigon' Revival
Some 58,000 Americans either died or disappeared in the nation's thoroughly ill-advised effort to "liberate" Vietnam. Broadway San Diego is currently mounting "Miss Saigon," a Tony-winning anecdote built around the whole grotesque affair — and while the technical effort is first-rate, the script takes on a multitude of sins with the passage of time.
Fair to middlin' 'Walk in the Woods' Is a 'Zoo Story' for the Trump-Putin Age

The nuclear age comes wrapped in a sea of pacts, treaties, eleventh-hour phone calls, banner headlines, gleaming host cities, worn-through bargaining tables, heartfelt promises and outright lies. Lee Blessing's 'A Walk in the Woods' tries to explain some of it — but the current North Coast Repertory Theatre entry doesn't know which part it wants to play.
Broadway SD's So-So 'Fiddler' Is on the Wrong Side of Its Own History
By Martin Jones Westlin | May 31, 2019 | 0
It's been in the national conscience for decades, along with its vigorously implied indictment of anti-Semitism — but even so, 'Fiddler on the Roof' is subject to the foibles traceable to misinterpretation. The current Broadway San Diego entry serves as a point of fact.
Cygnet's Fair 'Pride/Prejudice' Begs the Overarching Question: Why?
Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' is a timeless classic, but only to a point — its scrums on love and marriage take a back seat to the institutions themselves. In its current turn, Cygnet Theatre transgresses this; the result is a less-than-standard effort.

Synopsis : Researchers have identified antioxidant Tiron offers total protection against some types of sun damage and may help skin stay looking younger for longer.
The Newcastle team found that the most potent anti-oxidants were those that targeted the batteries of the skin cells, known as the mitochondria. They compared these mitochondrial-targeted anti-oxidants to other non-specific antioxidants such as resveratrol, found in red wine, and curcumin found in curries, that target the entire cell. They found that the most potent mitochondrial targeted anti-oxidant was Tiron which provided 100%, protection of the skin cell against UVA sun damage and the release of damaging enzymes causing stress-induced damage.
Author, Mark Birch-Machin, Professor of Molecular Dermatology at Newcastle University said: "To discover that Tiron offers complete protection against UVA damage is exciting and promising, however, it is early days as Tiron is not a naturally occurring compound and has not yet been tested for toxicity in humans although there have been a few studies on rats."
Our skin ages due to the constant exposure to sunlight as ultraviolet radiation from the sun penetrates cells and increases the number of damaging free radicals, especially the reactive oxygen species. Too many reactive oxygen species can be harmful because they can damage the DNA within our cells.
Over time, this can lead to the accumulation of mutations which speed up aging and destroy the skin's supportive fibers, collagen and elastin, causing wrinkles. Recent studies strongly suggest the damage caused by reactive oxygen species may also initiate and exacerbate the development of skin cancers.
Skin cells treated with a panel of antioxidants were exposed to a physiological dose of ultraviolet A radiation - that is, the same dose that our skin would normally be exposed to on a warm summer's day. The DNA within the skin cells was then copied using a polymerase chain reaction machine, in order to assess the amount of DNA damage present.
Using this method, Tiron which has the chemical composition 4,5-Dihydroxy-1,3-benzenedisulfonic acid disodium salt monohydrate was revealed to provide 100% protection against mitochondrial DNA damage. Tiron is made synthetically and used in the lab for experiments.
Resveratrol, the antioxidant found in red wine, was found to protect against 22% of both the ultraviolet A radiation and stress-induced damage. NAC, a frequently used laboratory-based anti-oxidant, offered 20% protection against oxidative stress and 8% against UVA and curcumin offered 16% protection against oxidative stress and 8% against UVA.
In comparison Tiron offered 100% protection against UVA radiation and 100% protection against oxidative stress.


Starting off 2018 with a few too many moving parts…I am currently working on the study design for my thesis project so we can submit it to the SickKids Hospital REB (Research Ethics Review Board), finishing up my PhD course work, finishing the second half of the Search Inside Yourself Teacher Training, research coordinating on the next addition of Dan Siegel's book "The Developing Mind" and acting as director for the annual A Mindful Society Conference. Beautiful, wonderful, shiny things that I am so grateful for but are unfortunately all happening at the same time! I am also teaching two courses on mindfulness at the University of Toronto Continuing Education faculty and flying to Tampa Florida to present at a conference on the topic of mindfulness in education.
The question is, how does one physically get all of this work done while also remaining a happy, kind, engaged human being? I feel quite strongly that, while suffering is part of life, it is critically important to enjoy the work I am doing. If I'm doing all this work just to suffer through it, what's the point?
The answer, for me at least, is to bring my full mindful awareness to the situation, allow myself to feel whatever overwhelm or exhaustion I need to process, and then come up with a structure that allows me to have a basis of solidity moving forward.
To do this I need to apply the practice of "harmony of schedule". The practice of harmony is at the core of many Buddhist teachings. The "six harmonies" are a formal layout of practices that can be applied to communities as a way to foster healthy relationships when living together. Having a harmonious schedule is a theme that runs throughout the six harmonies. In 2017 I heard a Dharma talk at one of Thich Nhat Hanh's centres, given by a young monastic. During his talk he shared how having a set schedule at the mindfulness centre supports harmony because the community has collectively agreed on how energy will be spent throughout the day, so this does not need to be an ongoing conversation. It also relieves the individual of needing to plan each moment or each day, instead they can "flow with the harmony of the community".
This really resonated with me. As a graduate student I find myself constantly spending energy reviewing what I need to get done and trying to figure out when to do it. I find myself revising and reviewing and, what I like to call tetrising my schedule multiple times everyday. This takes up a lot of energy and time. So I thought to myself, is there a way I could reduce the amount of time I am spending thinking about what I need to do, and therefore free up more time to do it?
When I stepped back and looked deeply into my daily and weekly schedule, I also saw that I had a need to find time to break from screens to support my sleep, mental health and personal relationships. For full harmony of schedule I decided that work, rest, fun and food all needed to be account for.
To create a harmonious schedule I sat down and identified areas that could use some specific structure to allow for more ease throughout each day. Below is the list I am attempting to apply a daily/weekly schedule to in order to have more spaciousness.
Sept 23rd, 2018…backdated post update: I wrote this post in January 2018 and then never posted it. Ironically, this post is about how I was way too busy the first half of 2018 - which is why it has taken me so long to edit and post this. The good news is this blog is about practicing mindfulness, which inherently is also about being kind and gentle to oneself. Therefore I am recognizing my suffering over not updating my blog earlier, smiling to it and letting it go. It has been a beautiful but intense year so far. I am doing the best I can with what I have and letting go of the rest. Hope you enjoy this post and the other back dated updates I am curating today.
If this seems impossible try a pilot study on yourself just for 2-3 days and see how it feels!
Step 1: select a time of night that you feel would be good to attempt to stop looking at screens (computer, phone, tv etc). I personally recommend choosing a time just before you eat dinner.
Step 3: set a reminder at the time you have chosen (an alarm of some kind).
Step 4: action the plan! Each day when your reminder goes off plug all your devices into their nighttime spots and stop looking at them! You may also like to set an intention for when you start looking at them again, either after you brush your teeth or after breakfast or not until you get to the office or workplace. If you do need to check the device again after the stopping time, do it with full mindfulness awareness. Intentionally walk over to the device and notice how it feels before, during and after checking it.

Q: Is there an easy way to get all global variables defined in a Lua code file? Everybody knows that variables in Lua, if not explicitly defined as "local", will be global. This will sometimes cause problems, like overriding library functions, or unexpectedly providing a value for another global variable with the same name. So it should be very helpful if there's a way to find all global variables that is defined in a single Lua code file.
However, I failed to find any clue on this seemingly quite-popular problem. The best answer I can get online is using _G to print all global variables in the environment, which isn't of much help. I'm currently coding Lua in Intellij Idea with Emmylua, a powerful tool that can show global variables in a special style, and it can easily trace a global variable to its definition; but when the code becomes quite long, this will not help much either.
So basically, I just want to get a list of global variables defined in a given Lua code file. Either with a tool or with a wonderful function. If it can make things easier, we may presume the code file is a module. If it can further print the definition locations for these global variables, that's even better. Can somebody help me?

A: Lua doesn't have a way to tell when or where a global was introduced.
In the special that the value is a function, debug.getinfo may be able to help by telling you where the function is defined (which is often but not always the same place where the function is made global).
You can capture the needed information at the time the global is introduced. This can be done by setting a metatable with a __newindex method on the global table. This method will be called when a new global is introduced (but not when an existing global is overridden). In this method, you can figure out where the caller came from with debug.getinfo. Also beware, if any of your other code is trying to use a metatable on the global environment, you must play nicely with it. (It can only have one metatable.)
You can also avoid using the global table. One in-between way of doing this is to override the environment. In Lua 5.2 and Lua 5.3, this is done by declaring a local table called _ENV -- all accesses to the global table will instead access this table. (Actually, global accesses always use _ENV and _ENV is _G by default.) You can make this mostly invisible by giving this _ENV a metatable that forwards accesses to _G (or whatever other environment). The difference here is that __newindex will still be called even if a binding exists in _G, so this method can detect overrides.
Using _ENV, though is inherently local to a scope (e.g. each file needs to override it). Such a hook could be installed globally as well though. If you load your modules manually with the load function (unlikely), you can just supply a custom _ENV as an argument. If you use require, it is possible to get a hold of the loaded file before it is executed by overriding (or monkey patching) the Lua searcher in package.searchers[2]. This is the built-in function that require calls to find the file in your filesystem and then load it. The return value is the loaded function which require then runs. So, after it is loaded but before it is returned back to require, you could use debug.setupvalue to override the default _ENV value (if any).
Example code (only lightly tested):
local global_info = {}

local default_searcher2 = package.searchers[2]

package.searchers[2] = function(...)
  local result = default_searcher2(...)
  local parent_environment = _G
  local my_env = setmetatable({}, {
    __index = parent_environment,
    __newindex = function(self, k, v)
      local new_info = debug.getinfo(2)

      -- keeping rich data like this could be a memory leak
      -- if some globals are assigned repeatedly, but that
      -- may still be okay in a debugging scenario
      local history = global_info[k]
      if history == nil then
        history = {}
        global_info[k] = history
      end
      table.insert(history, {info = new_info, value = v})

      parent_environment[k] = v
    end,
  })
  if type(result) == "function" then
    debug.setupvalue(result, 1, my_env)
  end
  return result
end

function gethistory(name)
  local history = global_info[name]
  if history == nil then
    print('"' .. name .. '" has never been defined...')
  else
    print('History for "' .. name .. '":')
    for _, record in ipairs(history) do
      print(record.info.short_src .. ": " .. record.info.currentline)
    end
  end
end

Note that the hook here will only apply to files required after this code has been run, and basically only applies to Lua files (not C libs) that get included via the built-in require. It doesn't set a metatable on the global environment, so not conflict there, but it could be circumvented if files access _G directly (or e.g. setup access to _G instead of _ENV in their own _ENV tables). Such things can also be accounted for, but it can be a rabbit hole depending on how "invisible" you need this patch to be.
In Lua 5.1, instead of _ENV, you have setfenv which I believe can be used to similar effect.
Also note that all the methods I'm outlining can only detect global accesses that actually get executed at runtime.

A: Yes. Local versus global is a binding issue, which is primarily established at compile-time. Setting a variable is, of course, well-determined at compile-time.
Lua provides the luac compiler, which takes the argument -l for list.
In Lua 5.1, there is the opcode SETGLOBAL. A column indicates the line number of the statement and the comment indicates the name of the global.
In 5.2 and later, there is the opcode SETTABUP. A column indicates the line number of the statement and the comment indicates the name of the table and key. "Globals" are in the table referenced by the _ENV upvalue.
So, you can easily find the line number of any statement that sets a global variable with the tools Lua provides.
BTW—under many module systems, a module script would not set any global variables.

LG plans to launch a Hedera Hashgraph-based cryptocurrency wallet, media reported
Tesla's Bitcoin Loss & Profits in 2022
South Korean tech giant LG Electronics is set to release Wallypto, a cryptocurrency wallet based on the Hedera Hashgraph network, in the third quarter of 2022. According to News1. The company began beta testing the app in August as the final phase of testing.
Wallypto – A Cryptocurrency Application
According to the publication, LG has registered the name and logo of the wallet as a trademark in South Korea and abroad. Wallypto natively supports Heder-based HTS and NFT tokens. Developers are expected to expand the list of integrated networks and assets after the official launch.
LG ThinQ Wallet
The reporter recalled that in March, the company listed "the development and sale of blockchain-based software" in its founding documents.
According to them, the new direction can create synergy with the company's core businesses, such as home appliances and electronics. Presumably, the Wallet will be able to interact with IoT devices built on the LG ThinQ platform.
"From an electronics manufacturer's perspective, they are more interested in the payment system than anyone else because they can control it and get high-quality data," commented Kim Seung-ju, a professor at Korea University's Graduate School of Information Security
LG Electronics – A Digital Collectibles Company
He emphasized that this information is very useful for developing new business models and services.
As a reminder, in 2019, LG Electronics filed a patent application for a cryptocurrency wallet and announced the production of a blockchain smartphone. The company exited the mobile market in 2021. In January 2022, LG will follow Samsung in launching a series of smart TV models with NFT.
The company has also partnered with auction house Seoul Auctions to pursue projects in the field of digital collectibles.

Payments giant Klarna valuated at $10.6bn
By Evelyn Howat
After a recent $650mn investment, Swedish payments company, Klarna has been freshly valuated at over $10bn...
Stockholm-based Klarna is a fintech that provides interest-free payment solutions for consumers buying from online retail shops. Best known for its strong position in the 'buy now pay later' market, it regards itself as a "healthier, simpler and smarter alternative to credit cards".
After a successful few months of consumers ordering online and many using pay later solutions, it was announced yesterday that after a successful investor funding round, $650mn was poured into the firm. With its total valuation now at $10.6bn, it is now the fourth-largest private fintech in the world.
"The shift to online retail is now truly supercharged." Sebastian Siemiatkowski, Co-Founder and CEO of Klarna commented, adding that there had been "a very tangible change in the behaviour of consumers who are now actively seeking services which offer convenience, flexibility and control in how they pay".
The company has a strong presence throughout Europe, but part of this round of investment is about its expansion into the United States. The Klarna app has over 12 million active users and 90 million customers worldwide, selling approximately $22bn of goods in Q1 and Q2 of 2020.
The service it provides is attractive to typically tighter budgeted, younger shoppers and has a large focus on the customer experience at the checkout. According to Klarna, some of its 200,000 retailers saw as much as a 68% increase in order volume while offering them as a checkout option. The clear demand and success of the emerging 'buy now pay later' market would appear to be enticing to investors. With Klarna's leap of a $5.5bn valuation in 2019 to its new $10.6bn in 2020, the appeal of the service it provides remains strong.

YOUR STORY IS
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
As BDoCs (Black Dads of Color) in Germany, we feel the burden of being a minority group every day. From the playground to the subway to work – external perceptions of Black people and fathers in non-black societies in particular lead to various kinds of racism and discrimination.
With Black Dads Germany we not only face these problems but also prove that as a BDoC community and as Blacktivist dads we can change the narrative and perception of BPoC in Germany.
We are here to connect and foster new relationships with Black Dads of Color. We want to build and nurture new friendships, develop and grow together as Black Fathers thereby becoming a stronger pillar in our communities. We want to empower Black fathers, mothers and children, as well as the Black community who may feel marginalised or ostracised from society.
Using the relationships we have, we are breaking down boundaries and stereotypes along the way to celebrate who we are, to be proud of who we are and to know who we are. We are sowing the seeds to give our children the start in life that they deserve. We are here for our children to make their lives as fun and enjoyable as possible.

Christmas and New Year for Russian women
Christmas and New Year are two holidays that are close to the hearts of people in Russia and Ukraine. Christmas is one holiday that the entire world celebrates. While it was banned during the Soviet times, Christmas has regained its popularity in Russia as well as in Ukraine. Christmas day is a family holiday in Russia and Ukraine, and Russian women celebrate it with their families and friends. New Year, however, is more popular than Christmas in Russia and Ukraine because of the decades of Soviet propaganda which denied citizens of the right to celebrate religious holidays like Christmas and Easter.
Christmas in Russia and Ukraine
Christmas fortune telling is very common in Russia and Ukraine
Unlike in other parts of the world where Christmas Day is celebrated every December 25, people in Russia and Ukraine celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ every January 7. This is because the Russian Orthodox Church uses the old Julian calendar for religious celebrations. Christians in other parts of the world, however, follow the Gregorian calendar. Many practicing Christians in Russia observe a 40-day Lent before Christmas Day, wherein they don't eat anything until the first star appears in the sky on Christmas Eve. Christmas night in Russia also signals the start of the fortune-telling, wherein young girls would try to read fortune using tea leaves, mirrors, and candle wax. Most of the fortune-telling would revolve around guessing how their future husbands would look like when the guy would appear in a girl's life, and whether or not their married life would be a happy one.
New Year in Russia and Ukraine
Don`t forget to greet your lady
Because Christmas was not celebrated for many decades, the celebration of New Year has become more important to people in Russia and Ukraine. For many Russian women, New Year is a more significant event than Christmas. The most festive and traditional New Year celebration in Russia is held in the Red Square which sits next to Kremlin. Every year, more than 100,000 people gather for the festivities. It is highly anticipated that tickets are usually sold out weeks before the event. Across the country, people set up private parties to welcome the New Year. These parties won't be complete without traditional Russian food. Hosts typically set up a zakuska table feature bite-sized snacks like caviar, dark bread, pickles and marinated mushrooms with drinks. In Ukraine, New Year is considered the most important public holiday. They come together every December 31st and present gifts to each other. Like in Russia, the biggest New Year's party is held at the capital city of Kyiv where thousands of inhabitants and guests converge to welcome the New Year.
Christmas and New Year are significant holidays for Russian women as well as their families. Don't forget to greet your Ukrainian or Russian lady on these important days by sending her a gift, or even a flower. Your lady love will surely appreciate being remembered on these dates.

China Conducts ASAT Test, U.S. Says
Timothy Farnsworth
China conducted "a non-destructive test of a missile designed to destroy satellites" on July 23, according to the U.S. State Department.
The U.S. comment appeared to differ from the Chinese statement on the test. According to Xinhua, China's official news agency, the Chinese defense ministry called the test a "land-based anti-missile technology experiment," suggesting that it was a test of a missile defense system rather than of an anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon.
During his Aug. 13 remarks at the U.S. Strategic Command Deterrence Symposium in Omaha, Neb., Frank Rose, U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for space and defense policy, said the United States "has high confidence in its assessment" that China was testing an ASAT weapon.
Neither China nor the United States provided additional details to support its characterization of the test. China said the test took place within its territory and successfully reached the anticipated goal. The U.S. statement called on China to "refrain from destabilizing actions" that threaten the security and sustainability of space.
Also in its statement, the State Department said that, in the test, China had used the same missile system as in a 2007 test in which China shot down one of its own weather satellites. That event, which created thousands of pieces of debris that continue to present a danger in space, used an SC-19 missile. (See ACT, March 2007.)
China has claimed that subsequent tests of its SC-19 missile in 2010 and January 2013 were part of an effort to develop and understand missile-interceptor technology, not to develop ASAT capabilities, but the two technologies are very similar. (See ACT, March 2013.)
In an Aug. 12 e-mail to Arms Control Today, Brian Weeden, a technical adviser to the Secure World Foundation, said the July 23 U.S. statement marked the first time since the 2007 test that the State Department had publicly declared that China conducted an ASAT test. The United States has never publicly acknowledged the 2010 test or two tests in 2005 and 2006, Weeden said. Information related to those tests was made public after the website WikiLeaks published a 2010 State Department cable about the 2010 test.
Weeden, a former U.S. Air Force space analyst, pointed out the lack of specific details from Washington and Beijing about the July 2014 test, saying that, after the 2010 and January 2013 tests, both countries mentioned another missile that had been launched as a target. The lack of information about the target for the recent test makes it unclear whether this was actually another test of the SC-19 missile tested in 2007, 2010, and 2013 or possibly a test of a new ASAT system—believed to be in development and capable of reaching geostationary orbit, about 36,000 kilometers above the earth—that might have been tested in May 2013. (See ACT, April 2014.)
The State Department's description of the recent test as nondestructive, combined with the lack of details from Beijing about the test, could point to the testing of this new ASAT weapon in geostationary orbit, Weeden said. "It would be distinct enough from a missile defense profile to allow the US to confidently characterize it as an ASAT test," said Weeden. As the second test of a new system, it would be consistent with the pattern that China followed for the SC-19, carrying out two nondestructive tests in 2005 and 2006 before conducting an actual intercept in 2007, he said.

Check if the server is using a SSL protocol or TLS,
for SSL with SMTP, you will have to call this function,(if you are using SES, this is the function you should be calling)
        server = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_PORT)
If the SMTP server is using tls, starttls with the function below
        server = smtplib.SMTP(SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_PORT)

Although they fronted very different bands during the alt-rock heyday of the early-mid '90s, Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli have long shared oddly complementary elements of a larger aesthetic. As the voice of Seattle's Screaming Trees, and as a solo artist, Lanegan has perfected a gruff, whiskey-coated croak, equally suited to the Trees' psychedelic (Uncle Anesthesia), brawny (Sweet Oblivion) and contemplative (Dust) sides and the darker, folk-and-blues-based explorations of solo efforts like the sublime Whiskey for the Holy Ghost. Dulli, meanwhile, contrasted Lanegan's growling baritone with a more honeyed croon, mixing sly, seductive come-ons with unironic, heartfelt pathos; with the Whigs, he often sounded like nothing so much as Bono's grunge-era offspring, infusing punk rock with a slow-burning soul sensibility, wearing his lacerated heart on his sleeve with all the solipsistic wonder of a Tim Kasher or Chris Carrabba.
What's tied these two distinct personas together is a shared hedonistic imagery (booze, cigarettes, swirling smoke and loose women) as well as a similar underlying restlessness. The approaches were different -- Dulli reveled in the chaotic messiness of dissolving relationships and personal traumas, while Lanegan poured his uncertainty, anger and hard-won wisdom into evocative folk ballads and muscular howls - but one always sensed their questing spirits underneath.
On Here Comes That Weird Chill -- originally intended as an extended single from his forthcoming full-length, expanded into a handful of outtakes -- Lanegan shows that that spirit still lives inside him. Shrugging off the more austere vibe of his last solo album, 2001's Field Songs, and its covers predecessor I'll Take Care of You, Lanegan embraces basic, guitar-driven rock, perhaps fueled by his collaboration with Queens of the Stone Age (whose principals, Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri, make guest appearances -- as does Dulli). Here, he enlivens his bourbon-baroque songwriting with a broader musical palette, from the Tom Waits clangor of "Methamphetamine Blues" to the visceral imagery of "Skeletal History."
The elegiac piano ballad "Lexington Slowdown" finds Lanegan giving voice to psychic demons ("This place starts swinging when it's me on the noose") and regrets ("Spare me a chance / I've wasted mine"), while a cover of Captain Beefheart's "Clear Spot" pulses and squirms with all the exultant bizarro disquiet of the original. On "Message to Mine," Lanegan revisits the melodic crooning that marked his last couple of Screaming Trees albums; it sounds like an artifact from solo efforts The Winding Sheet or Scraps at Midnight. Throughout, the singer sounds more focused than he has in at least five years, and his decision to record as the "Mark Lanegan Band" suggests a desire to play with, if not reinvent, his sound, approach and image. Just under half an hour in length, this collection of scraps bodes well for the future.
For Dulli, however, the future is already here, and like Lanegan's glimpse, it's filled with familiar echoes stretching into more evolved forms. Blackberry Belle largely forsakes the languid, electronica-tinged atmospherics of 2000's Twilight as Played By the Twilight Singers, Dulli's first record under the moniker, although it bears ample traces of that disc's slow, sensual pace. This being Dulli's first recording since the official disbanding of Afghan Whigs, Blackberry Belle asserts The Twilight Singers as Dulli's new musical alter ego, and incorporates some of the Whigs' soul-rock shadings. "Teenage Wristband" glides from tinkling piano to a sweeping rush reminiscent of classic U2; the more deliberate "The Killer" and the punchy "Decatur St." likewise come to life with spirited choruses. "Feathers," meanwhile, percolates with the funk percussion of Galactic drummer Stanton Moore, in contrast to the basic instrumentation of the soft, ruminative "Follow You Down."
The album's clear highlight, however, is the closing "Number Nine," in which Dulli and guest vocalist Lanegan perfectly meld their sensibilities. The steadily building ballad, rife -- as is all of Belle -- with Dulli's trademarked yin-yang pendulum swing of carnal heat and existential yearning, draws the center line between the two artists' reciprocal touchstones of longing and regret; the intertwining of spiritual and libidinous desires that permeate both artists' most affecting work. Given recent news of an upcoming full-length collaboration between the two, "Number Nine" offers a tantalizing glimpse of what lies ahead for both singers, all the more intriguing given the experiments in expanding the scope of their signature voices on these absorbing discs.

Film Review: Lingua Franca (2019) by Isabel Sandoval
Panos Kotzathanasis
It is always a pleasure to watch films the deal with the LGBT community with realism, taste, and without oversexualizing things and Filipino Isabel Sandoval (a transgender herself) has managed just that with "Lingua Franca", a film that goes much further than just dealing with the particular issues.
Lingua Franca is screening at the Slovak Queer Film Festival
The story revolves around Olivia, an undocumented Filipino transwoman who works as a caretaker of Olga, an elderly Russian woman, in Brooklyn. In her effort to become a permanent citizen and also to provide for her mother back in Cebu, Philippines, she has been trying to get married to an American man, an effort that actually costs her a lot of money and take time. The deal eventually falls through, but about that time, Olivia meets and becomes romantically involved with Alex, Olga's grandson, who has just been hired at the slaughterhouse of his uncle. Their relationship progresses, but things take a more difficult turn when Alex realizes that Olivia is transsexual.
Isabel Sandoval directs a film that manages to make its points through a subtle but eloquent approach. The issues foreigners face in order to get a green card is the one that functions as its base, but the story also deals with how people perceive transsexuals and the difficulty of taking care of the elderly, particularly when they are suffering from mental issues. I was also impressed by the way the film deals with the conflict of identity theme, since, this time, it is not the transgender individual who has doubts, but the heterosexual, who is not sure of how to deal with his feelings. The fact that when he eventually decides, he becomes this conservative, futile romantic man is almost humorous, if not for the dramatic unfolding of the story.
Sensuality is not missing from the film, and Isaac Banks camera occasionally seems to be in love with Sandoval's (who also plays Olivia) undeniable beauty, but the erotic scenes are shot quite tastefully, and actually add to the overall aesthetics of the movie.
Lastly, I particularly enjoyed that the feelings and the psychological status of the protagonists are communicated mostly through their silences and their body stances, which Banks also captures excellently. Isabel Sandoval is great in this approach, but I found Eamon Farren's performance a bit excessive at times, although not to a point to fault the overall quality of the movie significantly.
Not much more to say, "Lingua Franca" is not a good LGBT film; it is a good film. Period.

AMP has sold its closed reinsurance and general insurance operations, Cobalt/Gordian, to closed insurance specialist Enstar Group for A$585m ($518m).
The sale includes both the manager of the businesses, Cobalt and the closed book portfolios including Gordian.
Based on book value at the time of sale, AMP will profit from the sale of around A$83m ($73m).
As a consequence of the sale, minimum shareholder regulatory capital requirements wil reduce by around A$137m, while Group Office capital will increase by around A$157m.
AMP plans to use the increase in Group Office capital to lift dividend payments.
AMP chief executive Andrew Mohl said that AMP had generated significant value from the runoff of Cobalt/Gordian in the past few years, but it had received attractive terms and conditions from Enstar to facilitate a clean exit from the business.
Regulation changes in Australia has meant the re-examination of capital strategies by those managing run-offs, explains Peter Aroney.


Fedora 4 uses servlet container authentication (Realms) to provide minimal protection for your repository, including the set up of "superuser" accounts. User credentials are configured in your web application container, usually in a properties file or XML file. By configuring superuser accounts you can require authentication for all management (write) operations. This document describes how to set up Fedora and either Tomcat or Jetty to enable HTTP Basic Authentication, using simple user files. Consult your web application server documentation for other ways to configure and manage users; Fedora can handle any user principal passed to it by the servlet container, as provisioned by any of the container's supported authentication mechanisms.
The superuser role is fedoraAdmin. This is comparable to the fedoraAdmin superuser role in Fedora 3, used for Fedora 3 API-M operations.
If you are starting from the pre-packaged authorization war file (fcrepo-webapp-plus-[rbacl | xacml]-<version>.war), you should skip to step #4 below.
The "auth-constraint" element must contain the roles defined as your users (see below for jetty and tomcat).
role is the servlet role they are assigned upon login; jetty allows you to specify any number of roles (or no role at all). Fedora currently supports two roles: fedoraAdmin, which is the superuser role, and has rights to do everything; and fedoraUser, which is a user role, and must be granted permissions by the Policy Enforcement Point to perform actions.
Configure your Jetty login realm.
See the Jetty Authentication documentation for more details.
roles are the servlet roles they are assigned upon login; tomcat allows you to specify any number of roles (or no role at all). Fedora currently supports two roles: fedoraAdmin, which is the superuser role, and has rights to do everything; and fedoraUser, which is a user role, and must be granted permissions by the Policy Enforcement Point to perform actions.
Configure your Tomcat login realm.
See the Tomcat Realms documentation for more details.
Use of an authorization delegate and Fedora-specific authorization is optional. You can also configure Fedora to run without API security. You may want to only enforce container authentication or leave the service running completely unsecured, behind a firewall for instance. For details, see How to configure Fedora without authorization.
This is an implementation of the authorization delegate API. This PEP compiles request and environment information into an authorization request that is passed to a XACML policy decision point (PDP).
Administrators may choose to enforce a different set of XACML policies at any point within the repository tree.
Metadata, such as ACLs or rights statements, can be used to avoid authoring more XACML.
Resource properties can determine the relevant policy within a set and the outcome from within that policy.
Policies may depend upon an access role attribute.
Policies may reference any value obtained via a SPARQL query, relative to the content resource, but the query must be mapped to a XACML attribute in configuration.
Policies (and/or sets of them) must be stored in the repository.
This includes how policies are stored in the repository and how they are linked with content resources.
Policy and Policy Set resources may be stored in any part of the repository tree at the discretion of the administrator.
Policies and Policy Sets are referenceable fcr:datastream resources that contain XACML XML.
Policy sets contain Fedora URI references to other policy sets and policies. Policy sets can define a tree structure of policies.
Policy URIs have the form info:fedora/path/to/PolicyResource. These URIs are the IDs of the Policies and PolicySets in the XACML datastream.
One policy set in the workspace will be configured (in the XACML Policy Finder Module) as the default policy for the workspace. This is the same as saying that this default policy set is effective at the root of the Fedora resource tree and everywhere else unless overridden.
Any fcr:resource may set a property policy which makes a strong reference to a single policy or set resource. This overrides the effective XACML policy for itself and child resources. This action requires administrator levels of access, as determined by the effective policy, or by use of a login with the fedoraAdmin role.
The Fedora Policy Finder implements the JBoss XACML PolicyFinderModule interface. It retrieves the policy or set that is effective for a given context resource, and searches the tree for the closest parent with a policy property and returns that XACML. It also resolves internal URI references from policy sets at the request of the PDP, looking in the workspace by policy URI.
Note: When combining XACML policies in sets, you specify a combining algorithm of either permit-override or deny-override. For this reason the policy property is single-valued.
This situation can arise when the only policy set (or policy) for some content contains a target element or any other XACML construct that restricts it's applicability to authz requests. If the PDP can find no policy that targets the request, it returns a NOT_APPLICABLE result to the XACML AuthZ Delegate. The delegate will then return false to ModeShape, indicating that the action is not permitted.
The JBoss XACML engine has no significant runtime dependencies, outside of a PicketLink utilities jar. The other dependencies are the Java Servlet API and XML APIs.
org.jboss.security.xacml.sunxacml.finder.PolicyFinderModule is used to find a policy (or policy set) that matches the request evaluation context. Also used to lookup a policy that is referenced within a policy set by ID.
org.jboss.security.xacml.sunxacml.finder.AttributeFinderModule is used to find attribute values when evaluating a policy.
see JCR 2.0 16.3 and JBossLDAPPolicyLocator as an example.
Is this better implemented as a remote or a local PDP service. The PDP can be used as a bean without the webapp runtime, or it can be configured as a separate service (SOAP). The trade-offs are identified in the table below.
Minimal administrative overhead through dependency injection, etc..
ModeShape cache will keep frequently used ACL metadata in memory. Removes the need for any additional cache. Decent performance may require custom metadata caches.
No network overhead making connections or marshaling data. Network latency, etc..
Decision and policy cache invalidation may be based on events. Cache invalidation requires wiring JCR or Fedora JMS specifics into the chosen XACML service. Cache invalidation would be asynchronous.
Adds complexity to the runtime webapp – moving closer to a monolithic, coupled application.
When Modeshape checks for permission to remove a resource and the authz delegate returns true, there are no followup checks for removal of the child resources. The children (and their children, etc) are deleted along with the parent, but the AuthZ Delegate gets no permission callback for them.
The JBoss/Sun PDP has a notion of scope for an evaluation that can be EvaluationCtx.SCOPE_IMMEDIATE, EvaluationCtx.SCOPE_CHILDREN or EvaluationCtx.SCOPE_DESCENDANTS. If we are to use the scope feature, we need to implement another interface to retrieve children/descendants. This interface is a org.jboss.security.xacml.sunxacml.finder.ResourceFinder. When descendants are in the evaluation scope, then each is evaluated in turn by the PDP. The PDP traverses the descendants first, resolving applicable policies for each resource in turn. So this strategy should honor policy overrides with the scope of a tree delete action.
This is the implementation of the AuthZ Delegate interface. The delegate functions as a Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) in the XACML orchestration. The delegate formulates requests for decisions and dispatch them to the JBossPDP. It interprets the results and return an appropriate response to the hasPermission() method. Most of the work for this component is in building a request context for the PDP.
Fedora will need an implementation of this interface, originally part of Sun XACML. This finder module will deliver the correct policy set for the resource ID in a XACML request context according the rules for "Finding the Effective Policy Set" above. A similar kind of lookup, based on resource path, happens in the access roles provider.
This is admittedly a little abstruse, but the policy finder module becomes part of the PDP via an implementation of the PolicyLocator interface. An implementation must have a no argument constructor and received configuration via a setOptions() callback method. The PolicyLocator has a map where it will store its PolicyFinderModule for use by the JBossPDP. A simple example is the JBossPolicyLocator, which puts a list of pre-configured policies into a wrapper policy finder module. This wrapper policy finder module is added to the locator's internal map under the policy finder module key. To see how the PDP builds the list of policy finder modules at initialization time, see JBossPDP.boostrapPDP(), especially the createPolicyFinderModules() method. There you can see it build a list of finder modules from each configured policy locator.
finding the nearest real resource for a given the path, since access checks are sometimes performed on new resources before they are added.
Then you find the nearest parent with a policy property.
It will also need to support requests for policies by resource URI, i.e. resolving policies that are linked from the first policy.
Implements callback methods for finding child and descendant resources. This is used for delete and possibly move operations, which have cascading effect on the resource tree.
Attribute finder modules do not work the same as policy finder modules. The AttributeLocator is an implementation of the AttributeFinderModule interface.
These finder modules retrieve information about the resource which is being accessed. They should be implemented as several finder modules for clarity.
A triple finder module resolves attribute IDs (URIs) to RDF properties on fedora resources. Attributes are not configured in advance. XACML authors may reference any URI and if there is one or more triple with the correct subject resource and predicate, then the resource will be returned. It should match the data type expected in XACML, which is also part of the arguments passed to the finder module.
A SPARQL finder module retrieves data indirectly linked to the subject resource. This finder module will resolve attributes via a configured map of attribute IDs to SPARQL queries.
A common fedora finder module retrieves the standard attributes noted in the Fedora XACML Attributes page.
JBoss has an abstract class called StorageAttributeLocator which may be useful for formulating SPARQL queries that function much like prepared statements against a DB, where there is a replacement value. That pattern may be useful for a ResourceAttributeFinderModule.
Fedora implements the XACML 2.0 Role-Based Access Control profile out-of-the-box. Under the profile, policies are divided into two types: Roles and Permissions. Role policies only define Subjects, then link to Permission policies. Permission policies only define permission sets: Rules that apply to Resources and Actions. Policies are grouped into PolicySets. Permission policy sets are never referenced directly, but only through Role policy sets.
This model makes it simple to assign multiple roles to intersecting sets of permissions, and to allow for hierarchical roles: more powerful roles can inherit the permissions of lesser roles, then extend them in their own permission policy. Thus, an admin role inherits the permissions of both reader and writer roles.
The Fedora default policies implement the roles admin, writer, and reader. See Fedora Basic Roles - ModeShape Permission for a mapping of roles to ModeShape actions and permissions..
PolicySetId identifiers will be URIs of the form info:fedora/policies/PolicyResource. This identifier will be resolvable to the path to the policy resource in the repository.
Internal policy element identifiers for the XACML elements PolicyId and RuleId will have the urn prefix fcrepo-xacml.
Running Fedora without authorization means that the REST API is available to any request coming from the container and lacks any finer-grained security. This is useful when Fedora is running behind another application that connects to Fedora and implements its own security checks. In addition, this configuration is useful for temporary demonstrations and for running software tests that do not require security.
This configuration does not preclude the use of container authentication to secure Fedora. However, container roles are not used for any further authorization within Fedora. All requests are treated as superusers.
The security bypass for REST endpoint is accomplished by supplying an alternate ModeShape authentication provider for servlet credentials. This servlet authentication provider permits all actions at the modeshape level and does not use a PEP (Policy Enforcement Point).
If you previously configured a PEP, open your repo.xml file and remove any beans that are instances of "org.fcrepo.auth.common.ServletContainerAuthenticationProvider".
Also remove the PEP bean, if one was configured.
Remove the depends-on attribute on the modeshapeRepofactory bean, if there is one.
Under security, configure the "BypassSecurityServletAuthenticationProvider", as shown in the example below.

The Watchy Is an Open-Source Smartwatch for Those Who Miss the Pebble
By Andrew LiszewskiJan 13, 2021, 1:30 pm68 pts
There are gadgets you like, and then there are gadgets you love. For many, the Pebble smartwatch fell into that latter category. It was simple, affordable, and the first smartwatch that made everyone realize smartwatches weren't just a gimmick. The company deserved better than having its corpse…

I have been having some great Muse's lately in the form of other bloggers and jewelry designers. Now take my post from Monday on Cate that featured her earrings that she created based on some she saw in the Sundance Catalog. They were so great and matched the leather necklaces that I posted a tutorial for here in April that I just had to make me a pair. I think they turned out great and even wore them tonight to dinner with the necklaces.
Last but not least is my friend Annette from Under the Loupe. She has some remarkable jewelry. In her latest post she gives us a little lesson in Rose Quartz, which is one of my favorite gemstones. She has a beautiful Rose Quartz and pearl bracelet on her blog now, but this piece is similar to some that I create quite often and I just love the Summer colors of pink, rose and cream.
Whew, a lot of links in this post but be sure to check them out. They are all great people, great writers and have lots of creativity.
Glad you enjoyed the rose quartz article and thanks for the mention!
I had to laugh when I read about your old '70's sewing machine...Mine is a 1969 Brother. And back then, my mom and dad, who did not have a lot of money, invested in a state of the art machine that has served me very well all these years. I am grateful for it!


The Constitution Select Committee (Copac) has encouraged the media to be informative with regards to the constitution-making process rather than concentrate on petty logistical setbacks the committee had been recently experiencing.
This was said by Copac co-chairperson, Cde Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana on the sidelines of a Copac workshop for the media and the civil society on thematic committee sittings.
The workshop, which drew a number of participants from various provinces, was held in Masvingo.
Cde Mangwana said the media as the legendary fourth estate should lead by example by covering the technical aspects of the constitution-making process for the benefit of ordinary Zimbabweans, particularly those in rural communities.
The Copac co-chair also challenged the civil society to be proactive in ensuring that they impart information on the importance of a people-driven constitution since they are always on the ground with rural communities.
When asked about how the disabled were to be logistically considered in the constitution-making process, Cde Mangwana pledged to avail materials in brail and large fonts.
The Copac team expects to produce the draft constitution by the 30th September this year.
