Why Kate Middleton & Meghan Markle affiliation is not revealed by the media
Why media don't want you to see these pictures of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle together?
As you all are aware of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge and member of British Royal family who got married to Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. You may also aware of Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex and member of British Royal family who got married to Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. These two royal celebrities are always portrayed by the media as rivalry sisters-in-law, while these photographs are depicting another story of two duchesses.
Meghan Markle Statement on her Relationship with Kate
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle said that the relationship between her and sister-in-law Kate Middleton has been narrated falsely. There is no enmity between both. She said that she believes in the idea of Polarity and make statement that- "I think so much of what I have seen play out was this idea of polarity where if you love me you don't have to hate her, and if you love her, you don't need to hate me".
How two were Portrait in the media?
For many years, the article released out only writing about the rivalry among the two, and talking about the possible conflict between them. Even photographs showcased in the public are such that both Kate and Meghan don't like each other's presence around. Both don't look into each other's eyes and have annoying facial expressions in the pictures taken. But is it true that the two duchesses don't like each other's sight? While Meghan Markle says that these articles and pictures are not telling the true story, but the tabloids, articles and magazines still clings to the same narration for two. That's why they never published the sweet and lovely photographs of both.
Mutual Relationship of Both
Sweet Hug during Common Wealth, 2019
During Common Wealth Day in 2019, Kate and Meghan were seen sharing the affectionate hug in public. In this regard the royal commentator Kristen Meinzer told Insider (a global news publication) that this hug can be 'misread' easily. Many of critics would look at this photograph and make insincere comments. She said that Kate was very affectionate with her pregnant sister-in-law, Meghan. There was a sincere smile on face of Meghan while sharing hug. It is also important to bring in notice that such formal event doesn't require embraces. It shows that two of them felt very happy to see each other.
Giggling in Wimbledon, 2019
In 2019, Kate visited with her sister-in-law Kate and her sister Pippa Matthew. In all the photographs of this event the trio were seen giggling, smiling and enjoying the game of tennis. Pictures taken shows that three of them had great time together and there were no traces of any rivalry between Kate and Meghan.
Trooping the Color, 2018
Every year entire royal family comes together to celebrate the Queen's official Birthday in the military parade which is called 'Trooping the Color'. When Meghan attended her first "Trooping with Color" she was seen sharing the sweet moments with Kate and Camilla. The three Duchesses were looking joyful in the event.
Enjoying Wimbledon in 2018
In the year 2018, Kate and Meghan were seen together enjoying the Wimbledon. They were smiling and enjoying communicating with each other.
All of us hardly have seen such happy photographs of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle in articles & magazines. Of course, we don't know the actual relationship status between the two of them and how they both feel about each other. But now what we know is that we should think twice when we hear about any news conveying dispute or feud between the two duchesses again.

Carmakers Want To Use Copyright Law To Make Working On Your Car Illegal
Filed to:DMCA
You know what a pain those plastic engine covers are? How they get in the way and hide your own car's engine from you? Well, consider that black piece of molded plastic a metaphor for something much worse: the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Automakers are trying to use the DMCA to say you can't work on or modify your own car.
UPDATE: We just received a statement from the Automaker's Alliance. It will be covered at the end of this article.
We all know that working on and tinkering with a modern car is a very different undertaking than it has been previously. It's no longer just about putting on a new manifold and dual carbs, modern cars involve many, many computers, and working on your car usually means working with and talking to the computers embedded in the car.
There's nothing inherently wrong with all the computers in cars, and they allow for safety, convenience, and efficiency levels in our vehicles far beyond what we've been able to achieve before. But that doesn't mean they can't be repaired or tinkered with by the owner — it just takes a new set of skills and tools. It's not like re-jetting a carburetor was something just anyone could do, anyway — this is really no different.
Well, it is different in one very important way: because so much of how modern cars work involves computers and software code, cars can now fall under the aegis of bills like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and automakers can use this act to try and restrict what an owner can do to the car that they bought.
Automakers are considering cars "mobile computing devices" and as such would fall under the DMCA's pretty draconian protections. Really —here's how they describe their reasoning in the Auto Alliance's (a group of carmakers including BMW Group, FCA US LLC, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes- Benz USA, Mitsubishi Motors, Porsche, Toyota, Volkswagen Group of America and Volvo Cars North America) statement against a proposed exemption to allow people to work on their own cars:
Automobiles are inherently mobile, and increasingly they contain equipment that would commonly be considered computing devices... Many of the ECUs embodied in today's motor vehicles are carefully calibrated to satisfy federal or state regulatory requirements with respect to emissions control, fuel economy, or vehicle safety. Allowing vehicle owners to add and remove programs at whim is highly likely to take vehicles out of compliance with these requirements, rendering the operation or re-sale of the vehicle legally problematic. The decision to employ access controls to hinder unauthorized "tinkering" with these vital computer programs is necessary in order to protect the safety and security of drivers and passengers and to reduce the level of non-compliance with regulatory standards. We urge the Copyright Office to give full consideration to the impacts on critical national energy and environmental goals, as well as motor vehicle safety, in its decision on this proposed exemption. Since the record on this proposal contains no evidence regarding its applicability to or impact on motor vehicles, cars and trucks should be specifically excluded from any exemption that is recommended in this area.
Now, it's not like they don't have any points — there could be safety implications (though not likely enough to make the car any less safe than, say, a road-legal vintage car), but locking out key safety features while leaving other components open to repair or modification is certainly possible. This isn't an all-or-none kind of situation.
This means if you want to modify your car by getting your ECU flashed to make changes to, say, increase horsepower, change throttle response, or whatever, you're violating the law, even if you don't touch any of the safety or security code in the car's computers.
The lengths automakers (and, as you'll see, tractor and farm equipment makers) are going to justify the idea that you can't modify a product you paid money for and own is absurd. The car makers don't want you to be able to even look at any of the code in the vehicle you own and entrust your safety to, citing worst-case scenarios like you might try to use that code to change the odometer reading to defraud someone or you'll use it to find ways to break into other people's cars.
Even better, in this EFF article about the DMCA restrictions, they cite John Deere's wildly bonkers justification for keeping people from tinkering with its products:
John Deere even argued that letting people modify car computer systems will result in them pirating music through the on-board entertainment system ... (and the exemption process doesn't authorize copyright infringement, anyway).
Right, that makes sense! What's the best way to burn a copy of a friend's CD? With a tractor! Or, better yet, a combine! Hell, those things are basically just big motorized music-pirating machines that just so happen to be able to harvest millet and sorghum.
This whole thing is wrong in so many ways, and if the automakers are allowed to restrict owner access to their own cars — whether they themselves tinker or repair them or not — a cascade of unfortunate effects will follow. Independent repair shops will have it especially rough, becoming vulnerable to manufacturer lawsuits if they attempt to repair a car by accessing the 'restricted' code or even just connecting to the ECU.
Aftermarket companies could become illegal, since technically, even something as basic as changing the wheel size on a car can affect the ECU's ability to compute speed and make adjustments accordingly — and a manufacturer could decide that's tampering with the inputs to the ECU or something. Maybe that's a stretch, but maybe not — this law could make that possible.
I'm a firm believer that if you can't open it, you don't really own it. I believe in things like Mister Jalopy's Maker's Bill of Rights, and I firmly believe that everyone who owns a car has the right to work on their car.
If a manufacturer wants to void a warranty, fine. That's the risk we take. If they want to make safety and emissions modifications harder to do — but still accessible for independent repair shops to work with — okay. Hell, if they even want to stop selling cars entirely and just lease cars with the understanding that the driver doesn't truly own the vehicle, they're free to do that, too.
But if I buy a car, I should always be free to fix or modify that car, even if it's a terrible idea that gets me 20 HP and 11 MPG. It doesn't matter — it's my car. Besides, how would this be enforced, anyway? If you were pulled over, could a cop plug into your OBD port and read some checksum or something to see if the car has been modified? Would used cars be checked by some agency to insure compliance? It seems like a lot of waste and expense for something that's just feeding a potential automaker repair and aftermarket monopoly.
The EFF is circulating a petition to add an exemption to the DMCA to allow people and independent shops to work on cars, and I encourage everyone to sign it.
I reached out to the Automaker's Alliance via phone and email, but have not received a response as of publication time. I'll update if I hear anything.
Now I think I'm going to rip the plastic engine cover off my press car.
UPDATE: A representative from the Automaker's Alliance contacted me just as we published, and sent me the following email:
There may be a misunderstanding here. Attached are our full comments. You'll see in both the overview and in page 12, we discuss the comprehensive safeguard, a nation-wide Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), that is in place in respect to the aftermarkets part industry. It's important to note that in addition to the Alliance, the Association of Global Automakers, the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association and the Coalition for Auto Repair Equality are all a part of the MOU.
Somehow the EFF submission doesn't mention the agreement – which is surprising since it got so much press coverage at the time.. (possibly even from Jalopnik.. I can't remember what press covered this..)
The bottom line here is that, everything needed to repair and diagnose a car is already available to the aftermarket and any vehicle owner, including modifiers.
The real issue of concern here is that the sophisticated computers in vehicles are so intertwined that they shouldn't (for security and safety and environmental reasons) be allowed to be tinkered with.
That starts off well — an agreement to allow an aftermarket parts industry and independent repair shops to continue is certainly a positive, and not surprising, since those are both industries with money to throw around to make sure their livelihood isn't threatened.
The individual mechanic/tinkerer/explorer, though, isn't so lucky, as they stick to the line that
"vehicles are so intertwined that they shouldn't (for security and safety and environmental reasons) be allowed to be tinkered with."
... which, of course, I still have a problem with.
Also, when I read through their rebuttal to the EFF's requests for exemptions, I found that one of their major arguments centered around this idea:
a. Proponents have failed to prove that vehicle owners are owners of copies of Electronic Control Unit ("ECU") firmware within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 117.
... meaning, essentially, that since you don't technically "own" the code in your ECU (you're a licensee), you can't modify or do anything to or with that code. And I have issues with that concept. Sure, legally, they back it up with a number of precedents from the computer and software industry ( Vernor v. Autodesk, Inc, for example, is cited), that doesn't mean I have to like that idea.
Yes, they do have that Memorandum of Understanding with aftermarket parts makers and repair shops — fantastic. But they're still in favor of locking out the individual owner from modifying, understanding, or even exploring a product they own outright, and that's still a big problem for me.
It's not a large group of people who would really be affected by this, sure, but that group of people are the curious, creative ones who are the ones for whom tinkering with their own cars provides the inspiration, experience, and insight that eventually gives birth to innovative new ideas that keep the whole industry advancing.
So, thanks for getting back to me, Automobile Alliance, but we still have a way to go.

Wisconsin's outdoor recreation act program is setting aside land for public use at a record rate. Here's a progress report—briefly, how the program is set up and its major accomplishments the first seven months.
On March 30 the Wisconsin Conservation Commission approved purchase of approximately 5,500 acres of land which will cost a little over half a milHon dollars. No doubt this is a record for acquisition in a single monthly meeting.
Significant is the fact that this included 81 separate parcels in 33 projects. The high average price of almost $100 per acre indicated that many of these lands were in the southeastern heavily-populated region and often were the last and most costly parcels on a number of high-priority projects. About 13 miles of frontage on lakes and streams were acquired for public access.
At present the Conservation Department is responsible for supervision and management of approximately 630,- 000 acres of state land. This figure includes property in the process of being purchased but does not include more than a million acres of public surface waters also under WCD management and protection.
There already are over 400 separate land-management projects with primary dedication to fish, game or forest and park uses, but all are operated under a multiple-use concept as far as possible. The continuous growth of this acquisition program is evident from the fact that six new projects totaling over 28,636 acres, with an estimated cost of about $1,130,000, were approved for future ac¬ tion at the March Conservation Commission meeting.
This background is essential to an understanding of Wisconsin's new outdoor recreation act program and the progress made in its major goal of land control acquisi¬ tion in the seven months since it started ori September 1, 1961 to April 1, 1962.
For over a decade the Conservation Commission policy had been to purchase as much land as possible to meet the heavy outdoor recreational demands expected in the near future. The game management division especially had been aggressive in its attempt to preserve wetland areas which are "wildlife pockets" in intensively-farmed country. The fish management division recently had em¬ barked on a 20-year waterway acquisition program to secure essential spawning grounds and public access to waters. Kettle Moraine state forest purchases were being made as rapidly as possible by the forests and parks division, and other projects were being completed.
But these efforts were badly handicapped for lack of adequate funds. Then came the ORAP!
Wisconsin Statutes. Although this was known as the "Governor s Bill" because it was conceived and strongly supported by the Executive OflSce, it became a bipartisan measure after several amendments and final passage 26-5 in the Senate and 86-5 in the Assembly. The Conserva¬ tion Commission supported this bill for $50 million over a 10-year period.
About 90 per cent of the money was to be assigned to the Conservation Department and the great majority of this was for land acquisition. In fact, the outdoor recreation act named 306 eligible projects in the first biennium and this since has been amended to add another.

What Is Alexis Ohanian Net Worth and How Much Did He Make From Reddit?
By Samuel Daniel
The prestigious Forbes Magazine crowned Alexis Ohanian the Mayor of the internet in 2012 for good reasons, and he has continued to live up to that assessment. He is an American tech guru, investor, venture capitalist, and internet entrepreneur most commonly known as one of the founders of Reddit, which has become one of the most visited websites in the world. He established the company with his friend Steve Huffman. They sold the company over a decade ago and took home a large paycheck which has greatly contributed to Alexis Ohanian's net worth.
Alexis Ohanian's Age and How He Became Famous
Since Reddit, Alexis has founded and invested in other ventures which have been wildly successful and consistently brought in the big bucks. He is considered one of the brightest and most creative minds in business today as he is constantly thinking up great new ideas, raising startups with incredible potential and helping them scale. Aside from his entrepreneurial success, Alexis has also gained popularity for being the husband of tennis legend Serena Williams.
The businessman was born Alexis Kerry Ohanian in the Brooklyn area of New York, on April 24, 1983. He is the son of Anke and Chris Ohanian. His father is of Armenian descent, while his mother has German roots. He completed his basic education at Howard High School in Ellicott City, Maryland. Alexis was one of the brightest students in his class and was given the honor of delivering the student address for the graduating class of 2001. He then went on to enroll at the University of Virginia where he bagged a degree in Commerce and History in 2005. While at the university, he met his soon-to-be business partner, Steve Huffman.
Alexis' professional journey began in 2005 when he and Huffman attended a lecture given by Paul Graham titled "How to Start a Startup". At the end of the lecture, they stayed behind to converse with Graham, who then invited them to apply for Y Combinator, his incubator for startups.
The first idea they pitched at the incubator was rejected, so they returned to the drawing board and came up with the idea for Reddit during a brainstorming session. They pitched this startup idea and were accepted into the Y Combinator acceleration program. With the funding they received from the program, Alexis and Huffman wrote the code for the website and launched Reddit in June 2005.
What Is Alexis Ohanian's Net Worth?
Moving on, Alexis joined Hipmunk in 2010, an online travel company founded by Adam Goldstein and Steve Huffman after they left Reddit. The company helps users find flight and hotel deals and has its office in San Francisco. Alexis currently serves as an adviser to the company.
In 2011, Alexis founded Initialized Capital, a venture capital firm with a focus on seed and early-stage venture investments. As of 2019, the company has over $500 million in its portfolio. He also runs a company called Breadpig that produces all sorts of items that appeal to nerds and geeks. All of the proceeds from the company goes to charity. In 2018, Alexis launched Shakmat, an Armenian brandy as a way of honoring his heritage.

As of 2019, Alexis Ohanian's net worth stands at $70 million. He has managed to reach this level of wealth by utilizing the power of his mind, working tirelessly to make his ideas a reality, and ensuring that whatever business he gets tangled in becomes successful. Alexis Ohanian's net worth did not happen overnight, it has been on a gradual ascent over the years with every new idea he thinks up. He has been involved in a wide range of projects that are paying off handsomely and others that are set to do so in the future. From the look of things, Alexis Ohanian's net worth is likely going to double or even triple in the coming years.

How Much Did He Make From Reddit?
A huge chunk of Alexis Ohanian's net worth comes from the sale of his first enterprise, Reddit. The company was sold on October 31, 2006, to Conde Nast Publications. However, the amount it was acquired for is still undisclosed, but speculators say it ranges between $10 – 20 million. Whatever the price might have been, it surely made Alexis and Hoffman a lot of money. The pair currently serves as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company respectively.

Marvel's films succeed by going for the purest distillation of its distinctive characters' qualities, often pairing the right, edgy filmmaker (up-and-coming or veteran) with a project and reframing their character concepts to play better onscreen at the risk of alienating even their most loyal fans. Yes, superhero films still have certain limitations. The first entry in a series usually spends an excessive amount of time on exposition to explain the character's origin; how much time did Spider-Man actually spend fighting the Green Goblin in the first installment? That's why you'll see a lot of sequels on this list. And a new storytelling convention is equally detrimental; recent movies in this genre have been peppering their already large casts with other popular characters (to comic fans, at least), burning valuable screen time in order to set up future franchises; for example, Iron Man 2 introduced the Black Widow and War Machine, the blockbuster serving more as a prelude to 2012's The Avengers than as a film in its own right. But this past weekend, Marvel's latest entry, Captain America: The First Avenger, stunned speculators by besting the latest and last Harry Potter film at the box office, after the Potter movie had one of the best opening weekends of all time the week before. Any cries that the superhero genre is in its final death throes have been silenced.

On Friday, September 30, Pope Francis embarks on his 16th pastoral visit outside Italy, to the former Soviet Republics of Georgia and Azerbaijan.
After his arrival at the Georgian capital Tbilisi on Friday morning, the Holy Father will meet with the president, with government authorities and representatives of civil society, after which he will meet the country's Orthodox leader Patriarch Elia, who met Pope John Paul II when he visited the newly independent nation in 1999. Pope Francis will end his day on Friday with a visit to the Syro-Chaldean church of St Simon the Tanner. The pope will join Syro-Chaldean bishops from around the world there to pray for peace in Syria and Iraq.
Our coverage begins on Saturday morning when Pope Francis celebrates Mass at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in Tbilisi. The Holy Father will be joined by a delegation from the Orthodox Patriarchate signifying a growing friendship between the two Churches.
In the afternoon, the Pope will meet with priests, religious, seminarians and pastoral agents and will then have a moment with several hundred disabled and vulnerable people who are cared for by the Camilian order.
On Sunday, Pope Francis will travel to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan where he will celebrate Mass for the tiny Catholic community at Church of the Immaculate, the only parish church, run by the Salesian order.
He will conclude his visit with a courtesy visit to the president and Sheik Allashukur Pashazade, the region's Muslim leader, as well as meeting with representatives of all the other religious communities in the country.

Rockies and lakes (2019, Mount Sarrail, Alberta)
A campsite in a forest. Lakes. Mountains. Hiking boots. A fire pit. A close friend. The ingredients aren't complicated. This is all you need to reset, to reconnect, to feel alive, to feel insignificant, and to remember what's important.
Our campsite in Kananaskis was empty. The site warden told us we were the only people in for the next few days, which was fine by us. A secluded pitch that allowed us to set up our tent and a separate cooking area, covered by a tarpaulin. As a Calgary local and seasoned camper, my pal Dave had all the kit you could possibly need as well as a large truck to transport it all. There was even a bear on the prowl. This was camping Canadian style.
The added touch was the lack of phone signal, which meant three days uninterrupted by the infinite distractions of modern technology. Save for taking pictures, there was no need for us to use our phones and no filter between us and connecting with the abundance of nature in the Rockies.
Keen to explore, we took a hike around the nearby Upper Lake, following a lumpy trail around the edge which offered uninterrupted views of the surrounding peaks on the easterly edge of the Rockies. The scenes felt as if they should be printed on jigsaws, sheer and soaring mountains sliding straight into a mirror-topped lake. Small rocky outcrops in towards the edges of the lake led to easy chat about which island we'd prefer to colonise, where we'd add landing jetties and so on.
The trail was border by thick forest, carpeted with lichen, moss and ferns. The trees were dense enough in some sections to restrict views to a few feet. Halfway around the lake, Dave stopped suddenly as he spotted something to our right and slowly pointed up. A large bird landed high on a tree just ahead of us. A golden eagle. We stood silently in awe as the majestic bird surveyed his territory, including us and then took off, the vast wingspan creating a loud beating sound.
Further round the lake, rocky beaches led to the lake's edge, dotted with the charred husks of dead trees, presumably from a wildfire. There was no uniformity in the stones. Quartz sat alongside rough, volcanic looking rock, large angled boulders, flat pieces of granite and smooth boulders and pebbles. We amused ourselves with some pebble skimming across the lake, completely alone save for a duck honking across the water.
Back at camp, Dave cooked up a Tuscan bean stew with roast beets and fresh bread. It was a meal that could grace any dinner table but had added piquancy in the setting, cooked next to an open fire in an empty forest.
The next day, we retraced our steps heading for the Mount Sarrail trailhead further around the lake. We set a brisk pace, soon delayering in the cool but mild temperatures. We continued past the beaches and bleached trees, around the southern edge of the Upper Lake and back into dense forest. Occasionally we'd spot something amongst the trees, local grouse, wood mice and other rodents scurrying across the undergrowth.
The trailhead turned inward, away from the lake and immediately steep. The path wound in switchbacks through the trees and we encountered a few fellow hikers along the way. Brushing my hand against fallen logs and rocks, the feeling of immersion was a release and led to wandering musings on the longevity of these natural, living things that would outlast us all by some distance.
The view of the Upper Lake vanished pretty quickly, leaving us following the winding path upwards surrounded by a riot of earthen shades: dark moss, yellow-green feathers, glossy chlorophyll-rich leaves, grey and brown weathered tree-trunks. The canopy filtered all of the light, except for an occasional ray of sunlight illuminating ethereal clouds of moisture drifting between the trees.
As we reached the upper parts of the trail, the path became boggy, sucking at our boots and splattering mud across our legs. Narrow logged sections seemed more than staying in the mud so we largely avoided them and kept to the slushy path.
After five kilometres, the trees thinned and we suddenly found ourselves on a plateau. As we moved out of the tree cover, there were glimpses of a vast mountain wall and in the foreground, gleaming emerald water. We cleared the trees and my jaw dropped. We were looking at Rawson Lake, formed millennia ago from a melting glacier, the water pristine and still, reflecting the surrounding mountains. The glacial retreat had left an imposing horseshoe formation of mountains around the far end of the lake, a mixture of scree, steel grey rock and peaks capped in snow and cloud.
It was absurd - as if an Alberta tourist board postcard had been dropped in front of my face. The outdoors at scale and beauty like this triggers involuntary reactions that run deep - a feeling of insignificance, timescales and forces beyond comprehension, the impermanence of life. If this seems grandiose, it might well be but the experience of being confronted by natural history so vividly is hard to put into any other words. We stood on rocks at the edge of the lakeshore silently taking it all in for a few minutes.
Across the lake, to the right of the horseshoe lay the trail up Mount Sarrail, a vertiginous looking climb that disappeared behind another slope jutting out into the water. We made our way around the lake, at first more muddy trail and then a scramble across rocks and boulders, and a small stream formed from various mini waterfalls cascading from the giant walls ahead of us.
As we swang to the right, the path passed through tightly packed bushes and shrubs. We stopped to take in our surroundings and spotted a small group making their way up the path, high up the slope. They seemed to be making slow progress and struggling through a narrow section that disappeared between a stack of boulders. We were soon to find out why.
The path kicked up immediately. I wasn't sure if it was the increased altitude, the gradient or both but I felt that familiar surge of breathing and heart rate. At first, the path was a mixture of mud and gravel, running alongside a rocky riverbed to our left. The recent rain and intermittent drizzle had created more boggy conditions but now mixed with scree and shale. My soft approach shoes didn't seem a particularly wise choice.
As we climbed higher, the slope became sufficiently steep that pushing upwards meant that the natural swing of our hands almost touched the ground in front. We used everything we could to leverage ourselves upwards, grabbing branches, roots, thick vegetation and searching out patches of ground that looked flatter or more solid. Our feet were caked in mud and slipping but were just able to find purchase on the ground.
We paused and turned around every now and again to admire the spectacular view of the lake, a mixture of blues and greens that look artificial. From here, we could see the towering horseshoe formation was actually just the baby peaks of monstrous mountains behind that were shrouded in cloud and streaked with snow. The striation of the rock was stunning, the streaked lines running long and punctuated by a few natural caves. We were looking at the Rockies proper - terrain that was severe, beastly, dangerous but also alluring, mystical, enthralling.
A pair of guys coming downwards with poles (another oversight) stopped to chat briefly. We noticed they were sharing a pair of crampons which seemed a brilliant idea. They assured us we'd soon be through the worst of it and they were right. About another hundred metres or so up the hill, we reached the boulder section we'd seen from further down. It was easy to see why the group we'd been earlier had paused and made slow progress. There were no natural foot or handholds, just a combination of slippery rock, roots and sludge.
We made slightly wobbly lunges upwards through it, partly aided by a section of thin climbing rope that had been tied between two shrubs. From here, the gradient began to shallow out and we were relieved to be through the toughest section although dreading the steep descent through ground that gave way so easily. The last section of meadow-like terrain, complete with alien-looking vegetation that resembled purple cabbages, was gentle in comparison as we headed over a ridge to our right….
…. to be struck by a view of paradise. A small muddy plateau was sandwiched between giant rocky peaks to either side. And straight ahead was a panoramic view of azure lakes, tiny beaches and vivid jade forest surrounded by towering silvery-grey peaks. The colours seemed absurdly bright, the whole scene like a series of tropical lagoons dropped onto the edges of the Rockies.
After a few minutes of gobsmacked staring, Dave explained to me that we were looking back at our route around the Upper Lake. It seemed like miles away, which made sense given that it was. After a short while, we headed up the right-hand rocky peak for a higher view, through a short path in between boulders. Here it really opened up, as we straddled a ridgeline that led on from the horseshoe, the top of Mount Sarrail. Ahead to our left was an even more dramatic vista of the lakes and forests, and behind us were the deep Rockies poking through clouds and fading into the distance.
Snow on the ground gave me a sense of the temperature shift between the cool but bearable autumn temperatures by the lake and the brisk summit. We zipped up our layers as we sat down to enjoy our lunch, at which point Dave produced a pair of ice-cold cans of Canadian lager, the perfect addition.
Later, we'd feel the fatigue on the long descent, dip our feet in the icy lake, and then feed on more bean stew and beets cooked over the campfire, well earned after 21km of hiking. But sat there at that moment, surveying the sublime sprawl of peaks and clouds, blues and greens, chomping on sandwiches and sipping a chilled beer - I literally could not think of anywhere else I'd rather be.

AT&T and United Way Bridging the Digital Divide
DALLAS, January 28, 2022
Download release (PDF)
AT&T and United Way to Provide Thousands of Free Devices to Southern Dallas Residents
AT&T commits $1 million to Southern Dallas Thrives initiative to provide 2,000 free laptops, digital literacy and tech support for underserved residents
What's the news? AT&T* and United Way of Metropolitan Dallas (UWMD) are working together to help bridge the digital divide in southern Dallas. The digital divide is the gap between those who have access to digital technology and those who don't. As part of our AT&T Connected Learning initiative, we are contributing $1 million to UWMD in support of free laptops, digital literacy training and technology support over two years.
Our goal is to help under-resourced students in southern Dallas neighborhoods engage in online learning and set them up for success in today's digital school and job environments.
Millions of students across the country cannot connect to online learning opportunities because they have no internet access or unreliable internet access at home, no computers, or poor digital literacy skills. This is especially true in underserved communities with a high percentage of people of color, which includes southern Dallas. These students are often at-risk for falling behind their peers in the classroom and beyond.
"This collaboration with United Way builds on the continued commitment we have to addressing the digital divide in Dallas," said Mike Peterson, vice president, AT&T Texas External Affairs. "AT&T is committed to the city of Dallas and with this contribution we are helping to remove technology barriers to education and job success for underserved students and families in southern Dallas neighborhoods."
How we will make it happen
AT&T is directing its resources to Southern Dallas Thrives, through which more than 2,000 refurbished laptops, digital literacy workshops and technology support will be provided to K-12 students, young adults, and families in collaboration with non-profits and local schools across southern Dallas.
The program is the latest progress point for Southern Dallas Thrives, an initiative created in partnership with United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, The PepsiCo Foundation and Frito-Lay North America, which advances outcomes for Pre-K-12 students, increases food access, and supports women entering and advancing in the workforce.
"We are honored to collaborate with AT&T to provide the students and families in southern Dallas with digital resources to overcome the challenges associated with the digital divide," said Jennifer Sampson, McDermott-Templeton president and chief executive officer of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas. "Our work with AT&T will bolster our efforts through the Southern Dallas Thrives initiative to advance economic opportunity for students and ensure they can be competitive and successful in obtaining the living-wage jobs of the future."
In addition to our efforts with United Way, we recently opened three AT&T Connected Learning Centers to help address the digital divide in Dallas located within Family Gateway, For Oak Cliff and CitySquare local nonprofits. These centers provide at-risk students with access to high-speed AT&T Fiber internet and Wi-Fi, computers, free educational resources, and mentoring and tutoring support from AT&T employees.
We offer affordable internet options
We're continuing to help make internet more affordable for millions of eligible households around the country, including in Dallas. Eligible families can sign up for discounted connectivity through the low-cost Access from AT&T broadband offering and can get a benefit of up to $30 a month and up to $75 on qualifying Tribal lands to reduce the cost of internet through our participation in the new federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
Working closely with educators and government leaders, we can help connect communities and reimagine the future of schools. That's why we are committed to providing comprehensive, agile and affordable solutions for education institutions, libraries and government entities to connect students, teachers, library patrons and underserved constituents. Since March 2020, AT&T has connected more than 600,000 students and teachers, across 50 states, in collaboration with departments of education, school districts, and higher education institutions.
We are expanding our network
In addition to our community investment, we will continue to invest in bringing fiber and connectivity to Dallas-Fort Worth area by installing more fiber in towns like Dallas, which includes parts of Southern Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Cedar Hill, Euless, Mansfield, Bedford and North Richland Hills. In addition, we are bringing more 5G to the area in the coming months and years. Just this month, we introduced our newest spectrum of 5G+, C-Band, in limited parts of Dallas. This will help enable our 5G network to reach its full potential.

Cup action at Meadow Lane
Notts County 3-2 Town
Fleetwood Town were knocked out of the Capital One Cup after a 3-2 defeat at the hands of League One Notts County, in what was a brave effort by the Cod Army.
David Ball's 89th minute strike set up a dramatic ending to the game, as Manny Smith was sent off for the home side.
Three changes were made to the team from the convincing 3-1 victory over Dag & Red, with Stewart Murdoch, Matty Blair and Gareth Evans all earning starts, whilst Ryan Crowther, Junior Brown and Steven Schumacer sat out.
Notts County controlled the game from the early stages and enjoyed large spells of possession, trying to break through the Town defence. After around 10 minutes, they began to succeed and Enock Showumni became more dangerous as the seconds ticked by, using his strength to win headers around the Town box and seeing a left footed shot go wide on the turn.
But it was Fleetwood who took the lead on 16 minutes after Gareth Evans chipped a beautiful ball over the head of Bartosz Bialkowski in the County goal to put Fleetwood Town 1-0 up, despite it being their first chance of the game. David Ball's through ball was missed by Manny Smith in the home side's defence, which allowed Evans the time and space to create his superb finish from a difficult position.
The Cod Army then continued to attack with a positive spell, in which they were awarded four corners- one effort was deflected wide from a driving shot by Matty Blair outside the box and another almost fell to Mark Roberts.
The ever-present Showumni up front for the home side looked dangerous throughout, and it wasn't long before the big striker levelled the scores as he put the ball past a helpless Scott Davies. This was followed by a header from Manny Smith, which sailed wide from an Alan Sheehan corner.
This spurred County on and triggered a wave of attacks as they continued to look dangerous and pass the ball with Mustapha Dumbuya putting balls into the mix from right back – and it was not long before the home side put themselves ahead eight minutes before the break, when Danny Haynes smashed a shot into the roof of the net after reacting to a rebounded header off Davies' right hand post from the left back Sheehan.
Fleetwood started the second half slightly better, creating more chances with Antoni Sarcevic shooting wide, but were still on the back foot as County controlled the game. Junior Brown dashed down the left wing to try and get the ball into an attacking position, and it almost paid off on 54 minutes when his low cross was almost met by David Ball, but the striker just couldn't reach it, rolling out for a goal kick.
Sarcevic began to grow more in the game second half, as he then won Town a free kick on the edge of the box, but the former Chester man's effort was blocked by the wall.
The Cod Army soon settled mid-way through the second half though, as the game began to appear more evenly matched. Brown continued to make runs down the left hand side, opening up space in the middle, whilst the amount of chances created by County became less.
Crowther was brought on for Blair on 68 minutes in a bid to boost the attacking options. David Ball was helpless as he received little service from midfield, with most of the play coming down the wings, but the big County defence with Smith and Leacock in the centre, were experienced enough to deal with those type of threats.
The match went quiet until 73 minutes when County's new signing, who put pen to paper earlier in the day, curled a left footed shot into the top left hand corner of the goal, gaining a deflection from Cresswell on the way in. It was a cruel blow, as the visitors looked to get back into the game.
Alexander made another effort to spice up the attack, as Murdoch made way for Jamille Matt with 15 minutes remaining on the clock. Ball was brought down after some neat footwork on the edge of the box, which saw defender Manny Smith get his second yellow card of the night. Sarcevic's resulting free kick hit the wall, before a Brown bullet went over the Magpies' crossbar.
Town then pulled a goal back after the sending off- Ball's shot went into the net after Matt created some room on the edge of the box. Fleetwood gained some urgency and determination as they forced a corner, but it came to nothing as the Fourth Official indicated three minutes of added time.
Crowther then had a shot saved low by Bialkowski as the Cod Army piled on the pressure in a dramatic ending to the game at Meadow Lane.

Q: How to export sass files to dist folder preserving folder structure? I'm trying to take all the sass files in a particular folder, and copy/transform them into css files in a different folder, preserving the folder structure.  Like:

*

*src

*

*folder1

*

*test1.scss

*folder2

*

*test2.scss

*folder3

*

*test3.scss

into

*

*dest

*

*folder1

*

*test1.css

*folder2

*

*test2.css

*folder3

*

*test3.css

I'm trying to use copy webpack plugin to copy all the src scss files, and the transform option to use node-sass to convert them, which seems to work, except it won't rename the files to .css and i can't figure how to fix this.  Any ideas?
snip from my webpack.config.js:
{
      context: path.join(__dirname, "src"),
      from: "**/*.scss",
      to: path.join(__dirname, "dest"),
      transform(content, path) {
        const result = sass.renderSync({ file: path });
        return result.css.toString();
      }
    }

A: Transforming files by using webpack-copy-plugin is not really a right way to process your assets. It is more like hackish/anti-pattern way. Instead you, should rely on proper loader pipeline. Webpack loaders are especially designed to handle this task. You need 4 things to accomplish you task.

*

*For processing SASS/SCSS files, you should use sass-loader.

*Use css-loader to convert CSS into CommonJS format.

*Augment your config with mini-css-extract-plugin to extract CSS from JS code into actual CSS file.

*Use the object syntax to specify your SASS target files individually. This is the key to preserving your folder structure in dist folder. The key of the entry object acts like a folder structure within dist/dest. (See below)

Your configuration would look like:
const path = require('path');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');

module.exports = {

    output: {
        // Whatever name pattern you need.
        filename: `[name]/bundle-[contenthash].js`,
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dest')
    },

    entry: {
        'folder1': './src/folder1/test1.scss',
        'folder2': './src/folder2/test2.scss',
        'folder2/folder3': './src/folder2/folder3/test3.scss'
    },

    modules: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/,
                use: [

                    // Mark content for extraction into seperate CSS file
                    MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,

                    // Translates CSS into CommonJS
                    'css-loader',

                    // Compiles Sass to CSS
                    'sass-loader'
                ]
            }
        ]
    },

    plugins: [
        // Run the actual plugin to extract CSS into separate CSS files
        new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
            // Whatever name pattern you need
            filename: `[name].css`
        })
    ]

};

Adjust your filename with the patterns you need.
Alternately, if you wish to stick to the same approach, the to parameter of copy plugin configuration accepts the webpack style output patterns. Something similar can work for you:
// You can use .css instead of [ext]
to: '[path][name].[contenthash].[ext]'

Finally, as one last option, if there are too many SASS files, then you can dynamically construct the Webpack entry object using glob package and then using that in your module configuration.

Argentina's Passion for Soccer
Just what is it about soccer and the World Cup that makes people all over the world go crazy? I think Argentinean commercials do a great job of explaining the madness to those who just don't get what this soccer craze is. Watch these two ads with the ones we posted last week and two weeks ago, and I hope you'll start to feel the craze, too (and root for Argentina on Sunday!)

This Weekend Praxis Greece made a Workshop for its volunteers with the topic of how to write an article. The workshop was interactive and helped the volunteers to improve there writing skills as much as their social skills in working together. The Workshop took place in our Praxis Office.


I've been enjoying my friend Shane's book for the past couple of days. It is a compelling story and a fun read. One that makes you smile and shake your head and quote a piece of it to whomever is within earshot. I'm slightly bothered that so many Amazon comments and back cover blurbs (and even the foreward!) take that "he's a young radical…" angle, as if this is some generational phenomenon, or like he's half-crazy, or like it's a passing fad or something. It seems patronizing, though perhaps it is some kind of psychological protection for the blurb writers or somesuch. No matter– it is a great book.
The matter is quite simple. The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any words in the New Testament and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. My God, you will say, if I do that my whole life will be ruined. How would I ever get on in the world? Herein lies the real place of Christian scholarship. Christian scholarship is the Church's prodigious invention to defend itself against the Bible, to ensure that we can continue to be good Christians without the Bible coming too close. Oh, priceless scholarship, what would we do without you? Dreadful it is to fall into the hands of the living God. Yes, it is even dreadful to be alone with the New Testament.
So here's to Soren and Shane. And here's to respecting them enough to let them be undomesticated and uncategorizable.
Great stuff, Mike! Amazon is readying my copy as I type.
Interesting quote. I'm not sure what the overall context is. That statement taken by itself seems to be easy to both agree with and disagree with.
Way to hold us accountable!

Brain imaging and economic research suggest that older people make less predictable decisions about money.
The common perception is that older people are more conservative investors than their younger counterparts. But brain imaging studies combined with economic analysis are causing neuroscientists to question that idea. Recent research suggests that sometimes older people make riskier and less logical investment decisions than younger people, and that specific changes in the brain associated with aging may underlie those decisions.
Financial gambles: Certain parts of the brain (highlighted in yellow) are more variable, or "noisy," in older adults making investment decisions.
A better understanding of these changes could help scientists figure out what forms of information are most useful to older people seeking to make sound financial decisions—an issue that could soon have a greater social impact than ever before.
"Huge demographic changes are taking place all over the world," says Gregory Samanez Larkin, a postdoctoral researcher at Vanderbilt University and codirector of the Scientific Research Network on Decision Neuroscience and Aging, a multidisciplinary, multi-center effort funded by the National Institute on Aging. "Very soon there will be a much larger percentage of people over age 65, and that has economic implications." Financial regulatory agencies are interested in the research, says Larkin, and are funding neuroscientists as they seek ways to help older people make better investment decisions.
"The natural idea is that older people are more risk-averse, but they are not uniformly more risk-averse. In some cases, they are more risk-seeking," says Scott Huettel, codirector of the Center for Neuroeconomic Studies at Duke University.
Economic literature over the last five to 10 years suggests that older people's investments on average tend to perform poorly relative to the risk they are taking on. "They don't make as good decisions and don't use the information as well," says Huettel.
Larkin, Huettel, and others are combining brain imaging and traditional economic theory to understand the physiological changes responsible for these trends. The brain tends to shrink with age, and certain cognitive functions, such as working memory—the ability to hold information in the brain for a short time—decline. "But we are learning that is just a part of making financial decisions, and it may not even be the deciding factor," says Brian Knutson, assistant professor of psychology and neuroscience at Stanford University.
In an experiment published earlier this year, Knutson and Larken asked people of varying ages to pick stocks while lying in a magnetic resonance brain scanner. Participants got feedback on the stocks' performance throughout the task. The researchers knew from previous research that a certain part of the brain called the nucleus accumbens is more active when people anticipate making money or taking a financial risk. Another part is more active when they anticipate losing money or avoiding a risk.
When the researchers compared participants' performance with a mathematical model designed to maximize economic gains, they found that older people's performance deviated more from the model. The activity in the older group's nucleus accumbens was also more variable. "That noisiness could account for the random stock picking," says Knutson. In fact, the individuals whose brain activity was the noisiest—those whose nucleus accumbens varied most with respect to anticipation of a reward—made the most serious investment mistakes.
In the follow-up study, researchers showed participants either a line graph of the history of a stock's performance or a gauge that integrated the stock's past performance. Both visual aids obviate the need to keep mental track of the stock's performance.

Endgame Content (MLHRWM part 4)
Let's talk about Breath of the Wild.
What does "Gating" mean, anyway?
Fuck you, kill the Ender Dragon.
We can fix it with mods, but…
Why I Mentioned BotW earlier
It's a damn good adventure game, is what it is. Between the simple-yet-satisfying combat, the immersive-sim-esque interactions that let you bypass that combat, the deep and interesting cooking mechanics, and–most of all–the many useful traversal mechanics, Breath of the Wild is pretty damn close to perfect.
Why do I bring this up? Because Minecraft does exactly the opposite of what Breath of the Wild does. Yeah, bet you thought this was gonna be about a game I liked, huh?
To be clear: When I say some piece of content is "gated" behind something else, what I mean is that you need that something else to get to the content. This can come in the form of needing an ability (i.e., a large part of Super Metroid is gated behind having the Morph Ball), clearing a certain amount of content (parts of Super Mario 64's castle are gated by star count), or–in Minecraft's case–it can be gated behind killing a boss.
The Elytra are the best thing that has ever happened to Minecraft. And, because we're not allowed to have nice things, it's gated behind the final boss of the game.
You wanted a decent exploration option? Go fuck yourself. Your options, until you defeat the Ender Dragon, are:
Railways, which require such a massive amount of iron that they simply are not practical in vanilla;
Horses, which suffer from worldgen that was simply never built to have horse-riding in it;
Boats, which trade the iron cost of railways for the time cost of filling in moats.
Ender pearls, which not only are a rare drop, but also hurt you each time you use them.
Now, this isn't the only mechanic that's gated behind some lengthy process; potions are also gated behind a series of dimension-hops and murderous rampages. However, there's something particularly awful about this one, because Minecraft was at one point a game about exploring things and the Elytra fill a desperately-needed niche.
For those who are blessedly free from this accursed game, the Elytra are a glider that you wear in your chestplate armor slot. You can use a fireworks rocket to boost yourself around with them, but your main source of momentum is gonna be swooping around like a maniac, and it genuinely feels awesome to fly with these things.
But, because you have to jump across two dimensions and fight the final boss of the game to get them, they feel like kind of an empty victory. Doubly so when you realize that, eventually, they run out. Because they burn through durability as you fly, and because of how Minecraft's repair system gradually increases the XP cost of repairing an item, you are guaranteed to eventually no longer have a working set of Elytra. And by the time you get them, you're already in Minecraft's endgame. You have nowhere else to go, except maybe to those deep-woods mansions or whatever.
This is a particularly annoying decision because Elytra also intersect neatly with one of those things that Minecraft is supposed to be all about: building. Because Elytra are a glider, not full flight, you are encouraged to build tall structures to swoop down from. This would've been utterly fucking radical if you got Elytra early in the game.
The thing about Minecraft's modding community is that they have this weird obsession with vanilla's balance. I don't understand it, partly because I've talked at length about how much I hate Minecraft's vanilla balance.
There was a mod for Minecraft 1.7.10 called OpenBlocks. Among other convenience features, it added a hang glider. It didn't operate the way Elytra did, but it was still an incredibly useful early-game transport option, since it only cost a few leather and iron.
Then 1.9 came out and Elytra were added. Eventually, mods began jumping to 1.12, and by that time the community had decided that hang-gliding was officially a Post-End feature. The hang glider was eventually made into its own standalone mod, but suddenly it was OP, because it granted the ability to glide, and the word of Notch God was that gliding is a thing you get after killing the Ender Dragon. It was nerfed, with random variation added to its flight path, and then it was mostly ignored.
"We can fix it with mods" is nice and all, but at the end of the day, the community takes cues from what you build into the game. This is an extreme example, but nobody is going to create a mod that radically readjusts your weapon balance, no matter how much of a slog your early-game combat is, because at some point modders are going to use the base game as a reference point.
So there's a specific thing that Breath of the Wild does, which I wish Minecraft did: Breath of the Wild gives the player all their tools by the end of the tutorial. There's upgrades to those tools, sure, but at the end of the tutorial you have everything you need.
Including the hang glider. Which remains one of your best traversal options well into the lategame, even after you've tamed a high-quality horse. Because Breath of the Wild is about exploration, and it is fully aware of that, and designed around it, unlike some other games I could mention.
This is part of a series! In the previous post, I talked about godforsaken loot tables.

Wellsprings of achievement : cultural and economic dynamics in early modern England and Japan / edited by Penelope Gouk.
Britain and Japan are frequently compared by those studying economic growth and technological innovation in industrialised societies. But are such comparisons legitimate? Do the so-called Protestant and Japanese 'work ethics' have anything in common? Can they actually explain the respective achievements of these two nations? What is achievement, and how should it be compared? In this volume, twelve distinguished scholars from the historical, social and human sciences reflect on these questions. Six general essays look from the perspective of different disciplines at the concept and interpretation of achievement, and consider its complex associations with creativity and innovation. Six historical case studies then focus on England and Japan since the 17th century, taking as their point of departure the emergence of English capitalism. They examine how people have written about work and its value, and how they have drawn on cultural resources in their attempts to shape their own or others' actions. The link between individual identity and the actions of groups, how particular groups have exerted profound effects on entire nations, and how such effects may be unintended consequences of individualised and self-interested behaviour are prominent themes. This interdisciplinary volume thus offers a range of resources and approaches for those interested in the comparative study of cultures. It arises from a series of symposia organised by the Achievement Project, a five-year interdisciplinary programme of enquiry, directed by the editor, focusing on economic growth and technological innovation since 1500.

Is This Crisis Metal Today's Best Resource Opportunity?
By Dave Forest - Feb 05, 2015, 9:24 AM CST
Platts reported yesterday that analysts from Barclays have just compiled some full-year numbers for palladium supply during 2014. And the picture is bleak.
Barclays notes that the availability of palladium globally took a big dive during the past year. Because of one critical factor: the world's top-producing nation, Russia.
Data show that Russian palladium shipments into major trading hub Switzerland plummeted in 2014. Falling 64% to 184,000 ounces--down from over 517,000 ounces in 2013. Related: Is America Missing This Upcoming Mining Hotspot?
In other parts of the world, the pattern was similar. With Russian palladium shipments into China showing a 45% drop on the year, to just under 97,000 ounces.
The fall-off is almost certainly due to tightening sanctions against Russia. Perhaps combined with Russian unwillingness to part with this strategic resource amid the current uncertain political environment.
Whatever the reason, this is a major shift in the global palladium market. Russia is by far the largest producer here--having put out a full 43% of worldwide mined supply during 2014.
And there aren't a lot of other suppliers to step up and fill the gap. In fact, the world's only other major palladium producer is South Africa (32% of mine production in 2014), which has been seeing difficulties of its own of late in the mining sector.
Overall, Barclays sees the palladium sector as being in a significant shortfall. With analysts here estimating that the supply deficit during 2014 may have reached as much as 1.65 million ounces--one of the biggest supply shortages seen today in any metals market. Related: You'll Be Surprised Where This Copper Mine Just Opened
The bank expects that situation to continue in 2015. Forecasting a supply deficit of nearly 560,000 ounces this year.
This tightness created a good run in palladium prices during 2014--with the metal gaining as much as 28%, to over $900 per ounce. Those gains, however, have largely ebbed since September. Leaving the price at a current $790.
Watch for supply problems to potentially cause another run--which would be great news for producers in other parts of the world, like Canada and the U.S. It may also help spur exploration for new PGM deposits outside of traditional hotspots.
