There's a Riot Going On: Revolutionaries, Rock Stars, and the Rise and Fall of '60s Counterculture
by Peter Doggett
Canongate £25, pp598
Stand by for the avalanche of books, articles, films and reprints that will make the 30th anniversary of insurgent 1968 feel like yesterday. For some of us - but not all. Remember, those of you who hoped you'd die before you got old, that there is a generation for whom 1968 is history, something their parents recall with nostalgia, ambivalence, horror or embarrassment and to whom the forthcoming retrospectives might impart fresh ideas.
Moreover, a lot has happened since the 30th anniversary of 1968 that warrants more than a glance over the shoulder on the 40th. There are cautionary lessons or inspiration to our postmodern world of cacophonous and vacuous politics with its supposed 'counterculture' as mass marketplace. There have been riots across France. The western culture that inspired insurrection against communism during 1968 has mutated into a phantasmagoria that engulfs, rather than liberates, eastern Europe. Conversely, a youth movement across Latin America draws more than ever on communist icons of 1968. Only a fool could fail to hear terrifying echoes of Vietnam - and worse - in the catastrophe of Britain's and America's enterprise in Iraq.
Most recollections of 1968 are already appearing in Europe, to mark uprisings in Paris, Prague, Berlin and Rome. Leaders of insurrection in France, Daniel Cohn-Bendit and Alain Krivine, published new books this year. From Germany come books about Rudi Dutschke and the flamboyant Fritz Teufel and his 'Kommune Einz'. Antonio Negri, mastermind of insurgency in Italy, has never stopped writing from prison or since his release in 2003. In the US, Tom Hayden's new book is about Ending the War In Iraq. A paperback edition of the late Abbie Hoffman's Revolution for the Hell of It came out last year.
The British book market is quieter, perhaps because Tariq Ali has recalled 1968 so many times, but probably because no First World country has quite so thoroughly negated the spirit of 1968 as Britain. So this account of seven years' rebellion, with 1968 at its core, comes from Peter Doggett, who once wrote an acclaimed book about country music.
It is an estimable cuttings job, an encyclopaedic narrative of the revolutionary movements in Britain and America and their uneasy relationship with rock musicians who gave them voice. Doggett collates every tremor within the hippie and yippie movements and their every counterpoint with the great voices of the age: Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Mick Jagger (ad nauseam), plus less celebrated greats such as Phil Ochs, Nina Simone, Steppenwolf and Country Joe MacDonald.
Doggett is equally dogged in chronicling the black American revolutionary movement and the fault lines between black and white student insurrection. He is as intolerant of the revolutionaries' expectation that musicians be at the service of the cause as he is of the superstars' dabbling with revolution, singing its anthems then trooping off to the bank. His book's soundest achievement is to prepare us for the world in which, with few laudable exceptions, popular music has now abrogated any social responsibility beyond bulimic posturing in Hyde Park.
This account is an early demonstration of capitalism's genius at absorbing its critics as lucrative commodities. 'The revolution will not be televised,' sang Gil Scott-Heron, recalls Doggett. No, it will be downloaded on to an iPod while television shows Celebrity Big Brother
In this tumultuous narrative, I plead guilty to being someone who went to Chicago aged 16, convinced that the revolution was imminent (we all make mistakes). The place was teeming and turbulent, frightening and electrifying. So it is gratifying to find Chicago at the kernel of this book, as it was of the Sixties' rebellion in America: the convergence and riots of August 1968 (after all that dancing about in parks during the 1967 Summer of Love) and the Chicago conspiracy trials the following year, meticulously reconstructed.
But this book fails to capture what the rebellion felt like. It captures the self-indulgence of the players, but misses the squalor, pastiche, playfulness and feeling of subversive empowerment that I, for one, would want to impart to a generation raised on Blair, Berlusconi, Bush and Bill Gates. I don't recognise the Chicago I remember in a book that contains few adjectives, little passion and no laughs, not even when Country Joe and Judy Collins sing protest songs from the witness box in Chicago. More seriously, these omissions deny the book its claim to be about 'the rise and fall of Sixties counterculture'. English may be the lingua franca of rock, but not of 'revolutionaries' and Sixties counterculture - not by a long way - and Doggett's book is disastrously uninterested in Europe, where the most potent rebellions occurred. Even funky Amsterdam - San Francisco East and countercultural hub, with its Dam Square and white bikes - hardly gets a look-in.
France was brought to the brink of revolution in 1968 by one of two instances of unison between students and workers (the other being Czechoslovakia). One poster in my possession features the greatest image to come out of 1968 anywhere: un mec in a hard hat clutching a red flag with one arm and a girl in the other, whom he passionately kisses behind a barricade, under a slogan reading: 'Plus je fais la revolution, plus je veux faire l'amour. Plus je fais l'amour, plus je veux faire la revolution.' We all wanted to be him, for sure.
Yet Doggett's book deals with these extraordinary evenements as a flash-in-the-pan in fewer paragraphs than he lavishes on the tiniest tiff within the Black Panthers or Jagger's affairs, mentioning neither Jean-Paul Sartre, Cohn-Bendit, nor any other architect of a very close shave for the Fifth Republic. In Germany, 1968 was serious because a younger generation was having to ask: 'What did you do in the war, Daddy?'
Out of the ensuing uprisings guided by Rudi Dutschke and 'Kommune Einz' came the Baader-Meinhof group and its shocking armed campaign against the post-Nazi state, but, long-term, the generation of Joschka Fischer had to reckon with Nazism to create modern German democracy. But there is not a single acknowledgement of any of this in Doggett's book. The situation was similar in Italy, where insurgencies of 1968 morphed into a war of attrition between revolutionary and neo-fascist violence and thence the Red Brigades. It was a Cold War made flesh in western Europe and a compelling situation in which, as in France, a strong Communist party found itself caught at odds with a teeming counterculture. Doggett omits Italy. As he does Greece, Spain and Portugal, where the counterculture of 1968 lined up face to face with fascist military dictatorships. And yet this narrative, potentially interesting to readers now heading off to what they might think of as the Costa del Vodkapop (Spain - a fascist dictatorship? When?) is again missing.
Above all, there is the one revolution in 1968 that did actually achieve something epic, lasting and irrevocable. There are still a few on the political left who prefer to forget that there was a classic revolution in their lifetime, whether via the street battlefield of Bucharest, the 'Velvet' transition in Czechoslovakia or the Solidarity strikes in Katowice and Gdansk. The revolutions that swept the Warsaw Pact countries between 1989 and 1991 happened for a mosaic of reasons, but all had their roots in the Prague Spring of 1968. Prague 1968 was a remarkable mix of counterculture and official government policy, whereby the Czech underground supported Alexander Dubcek and his reforms in defiance of Moscow. Perhaps Doggett ignores Berlin, Rome and Athens (and gallops through Paris) because, as he says, these revolts did not have a 'rock culture'.
But in the case of Prague, once the Soviet tanks rolled in and Dubcek's 'Spring' was crushed, the entire counterculture formed around, and was led by, a rock ensemble after they were banned from performing publicly in 1970.
Indeed, the story of Vaclav Havel and the Plastic People of the Universe would seem to be exactly what Doggett's book craves: a rock band that came out of a revolution and all but maintained it underground until fruition 19 years later. One has to see Tom Stoppard's Rock'n'Roll to savour that story.
Before getting too harsh, I would urge anyone under 30 to read this book, if only to know how ridiculous 1968 may seem sometimes but how important it was. And, above all, with Iraq in mind, to know that although Colonel Oliver North was a liar and a crook, he was in part right when he said that the Vietnam war was lost at home, on the US campuses. Besides, Doggett is such a tireless trainspotter on platform 1968 that he comes up with gems such as the fact that on the day Charles Manson was ordering the murders of Sharon Tate et al, the Rolling Stones were making a business plan with a Bavarian prince, part of which was a tour comprising the Altamont festival which everyone agrees to be the violent expulsion from the garden of Sixties counterculture. 'Street Fighting Man', indeed. Best of all, though, is a line from Dylan. Pressed to side with the 1968 rebellion, he delivered instead a thought on what many of its figureheads and footsoldiers might be up to in time: 'Well, I'm with the students, of course; they're going to take over the world ... they don't have to fight, they can sit back and wait.'

Welch is a town in the Ash Heap region of Appalachia in 2103.
Incorporated in 1894, Welch was named after Isaiah Welch, a former captain of the Confederate States Army who surveyed and helped establish the town at the confluence of Tug Fork and Elkhorn Creek. When the mining industry exploded in Appalachia, Welch was at the center of the changes as a vital service and business hub for the entire population. The city entered its golden age, which lasted until mechanization started to deprive miners of jobs, leading to an ever-rising epidemic of poverty.[1]
By 2077, the process was in its terminal stages, with employment plummeting due to the replacement of human workers with robots. The situation steadily deteriorated as the replacement of human workers with robots advanced,[2] championed by Hornwright Industrial Mining Company. The future looked grim for workers. A transition to complete automation would be mandatory if Ballot Measure 6 in the November 2077 election passed.[3] Faced with the loss of employment, the town's decline turned into a freefall when the new up-and-comer mining company Atomic Mining Services, while supposed to revitalize the area and reenergize its economy, pulled out of a local project citing "technical failures."[4]
However, Atomic Mining Services' pursuit of ultracite meant they weren't gone for long. When earthquakes within the city revealed veins of raw ultracite - many simply bursting through the floors and walls of homes in Welch, further aggravating the terrifying property damage resulting from the quakes - AMS goons attempted to forcibly evict townspeople from their homes in order to extract the valuable ore, claiming that "they had resource rights to the land."[5][6] Faced with losing their homes after having already lost their livelihoods, at a time when the world was already facing food and resource shortages compounded by the Sino-American War,[7] the townspeople revolted against the agents of Automated Mining Services trying to evict them. The armed response by the Welch militia was the first shot in the new miner wars,[8][9] which spread like wildfire throughout the region[10] and brought the National Guard down to quell the unrest.
In 2103, part of the U.S.S.A. space ship conducting the Deep Sleep project crashed into a street in Welch. The three astronauts on this part of the ship, Carol Bernard, Nowak and Lee, died either during the fiery descent or upon the crash.
Welch is now a wasteland, nothing but a set of one and two-story buildings and their remnants, situated at the bottom of a cliff from Welch Station. Ground fires are scattered and numerous in the area. Perched on the south-western slope of Mount Blair, it has suffered in the earthquakes caused by AMS, which caused the entire western edge of the town to be torn apart by the shifting ground. Moving up requires navigating around the gaping maw in the ground, in order to gain access to the town. Following the tracks to Welch Station is advised.
The cluster of buildings in the downtown area is a confusing area full of blind spots, including boarded-up houses. The main square, so to speak, is the one with a weapons workbench, surrounded by a derelict gas station, post office, and bakery with an adjacent pawn shop. There is also a U-Mine-It! vending machine by the gas pumps on the north side of town.
The two intact houses to the southeast contain a tinker's workbench and another weapon workbench. One of them is Evan's house, a brick building up the hill. A weapons workbench can be found against a garage west of the post office on Elkhorn Street. Wooden catwalks connect several of the buildings on this street and ash rose can be found around the street and throughout the rest of the town.
Duchess' hideout is located at the collapsed back of a building west of town, down a cliff from most other houses. Its blue mailbox says "Z. Wilson."

Egypt-Italy: al-Sisi promises arrest of Italian PhD student killers
August 30, 2018 Khalid Al Mouahidi Zoom 0
President AbdelFattah al-Sisi Wednesday pledged Egypt's commitment to uncover murderers of Giulio Regeni, a 28-year old doctoral student found killed by the roadside in Cairo February 2016 after being last seen on January 25, the anniversary of Egypt's 2011 uprising.
The Egyptian president expressed "a strong will to reveal the perpetrators and bring them to justice," said presidential spokesman Bassam Radi in a statement following a meeting between al-Sisi and Italian deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio.
The meeting is the highest level encounter between the two countries over two years after Regeni, who was doing a research on Egyptian trade unions, went missing on January 25, the anniversary of the revolution. The streets of Cairo were then swarming with security forces as authorities banned all protests. Regeni was last spotted at Cairo metro station. He would be found dead few days later on February 3, along a highway, north of Cairo.
His body half naked was showing signs of bruise that investigators believed were results of torture. The student's parents accused Egyptian security authorities of being involved in the killing of the researcher. The authorities have denied any wrongdoing.
Regeni's death strained relations between the two countries as Rome in 2016 recalled its ambassador over Cairo's failure to cooperate in the investigation. Italy restored ties last year with a new envoy.
The joint investigating team working to uncover the cause of Regeni's death will be meeting again soon, Italian deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio was quoted as saying by Reuters.
The joint team has been working to retrieve surveillance footage from the Cairo subway system as part of a joint investigation. In June, the team complained that footage from the system on the day of Regeni's disappearance does not include images of him, reports say.

Seem to be having the same problem as in the android forums.
No matter what I put in the box, be it the internet id, my internet ip or even the internal network ip I keep getting the host not found error.
Is it a bug in the program or is it something I'm doing wrong?
It looks like a firewall/antivirus issue. First, check the Host side and I recommend doing that with the Internet ID. Make sure that you can see a blue sphere/circle beside the Host icon. It means that the Host successfully connected to a mediation server.
Then type the Internet ID into the mobile Viewer exactly (i.e. it's case-sensitive) as it is shown in the Host and try to connect. If it doesn't connect, then the problem is on the Viewer side. Is there any mobile firewall/antivirus or other security software on your phone that might affect connectivity?
ON the host I do see a blue circle so it is communicating with the media server.
I typed the internet ID exactly as is with the dashes and all and put upper cases.
I was able to connect to is successfully from another computer via a viewer, just not on my ipad. I have no anti-virus or firewall software on my ipad.
1. Could you please verify that the mobile Viewer version number is 5.6.0.2. It's displayed at the top right corner of the main screen. Note that the mobile version numbers are not directly related to desktop version numbers. The number above represents the latest iOS version.
2. When you attempt connection, is the Viewer "thinking" for a while before showing you the "Host not found" message? Or does that message pops up immediately when you click "Connect", without a pause?
When using ID it pauses for a bit (about 5-10seconds) but then no error or anything else, it just lets me to try and connect again.
When using internal ip there is no error or anything else. there is no pause either when I try to connect, less than second after clicking connect it comes right back to letting me try to connect.
when using internet based ip it gives host not found without any pause (this could be because i'm trying to loop back into my network) not to worried if connecting is this manner works.
When using internal ip it gives host not found error with a pause of about 2-3 seconds before giving error.
When using internet ip it gives host not found error with a pause of about 5-10 seconds before giving error.
Thank you for the detailed information. We will try to figure out what the cause might be and update the software.
Do you know when that might be?
Having a functioning ipad app will be really useful to me.

The Encroaching Meh
Man, I didn't notice it happening, I really didn't, but at some point during last night's episode of Chuck I found myself overwhelmed by a sense of meh. I have watched and enjoyed this show from the beginning. Despite some questionable plot lines and oft continued rehashing of supposedly resolved stories, I have never found the show anything less than entertaining.
But last night, as Sarah was on the phone with Ellie failing to get excited about her wedding plans, I realized that I had barely been paying attention, and really wasn't that worried that I might have missed something. Sigh.
Possibly the frequently ever-more negative reviews of the show over at Pink Raygun are getting to me, though I like to think that isn't it. Though maybe it is just that they are pointing out things that I am also seeing. While I may not disagree with those aspects of the show with the same vehemence as the reviewer, they are starting to wear on me nonetheless. Heck, I don't think io9 is even covering the show any more, other than in their spoilers section. I can't remember a review of the show at all this season, which seems to indicate none of their writers are watching it anymore (or at least none feel like reviewing it).
I think, for me, it boils down to two things:
Everything that was shiny and new and original about the show has given way to cliches about geeks and spies. It has stopped being a tongue-in-cheek send up the spy genre with loving fun-poking at the nerd culture. Now it is just caricatures and buffoonery, and while that can be amusing from time to time, the writers do not have the kind of handle on it to make those the show's primary features.
Holy crap there is way, way, way, way too much focus on Chuck and Sarah's relationship. Look, I was routing for those kids, I am happy they got together. It is nice that they are gonna get married. But good lord, the way the writers have them acting, struggling over every single step forward they take in their relationship, I am amazed that they are together at all. I frankly find it impossible to believe that they are, in fact, a well-adjusted happy couple. If my husband and I, back when we were dating, had found these many issues coming up every single day, especially once we had started planning our wedding, well, I am pretty sure said wedding would have been called off and we would have gone our separate ways. I know, I know, drama is key to any story, but the relationship drama is the easy out. It is boring and grating. Chuck and Sarah's relationship should be the one solid foundation in their lives, with the drama centered around the actual spy missions. That drama shouldn't be about their relationship getting in the way of missions either (with maybe a once a season, extremely well done exception, twice tops). The drama should be focusing on Chuck's efforts to continue to grow as a spy, reconciling that with his desire not to kill anyone, and how he manages to still get the job done and appease his conscience at the same time. That is the show I want to be watching.
I think it is frustrating to me because now the show is a few seasons in, and instead of looking for new and interesting stories to tell with these characters, the writers have just given up and are coasting on the fumes of the earlier seasons. Sure, they make it seem that the characters are all growing as people--with marriages, and babies, and roommates moving out to strike out on their own for once (don't even get me started at how ridiculous it was that Chuck and Morgan were so reluctant at this stage in their lives to no longer be doing the roommate thing--it was completely unbelievable and I wanted to throw things at my television--it isn't as if anything was changing except that they would be sleeping under different roofs, and as grown men, that's really a good thing). But those changes are superficial. None of the characters have actually grown at all it seems. In fact, they all actually seem to be regressing. What the heezy, people?
So...I'm kind of at a loss with this show right now. I will probably keep watching the season, in hopes that it gets better. But, and I hate to say this, I don't think I'll be all that sad if it doesn't get renewed again. Chuck may have run its course. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the next episode will totally surprise me with awesomeness. I can only hope. If not, well, likely I've got a new candidate to weed out come next season.

James Harden Cheated on Khloe Kardashian
Cat Cain July 20, 2015 11:18 pm January 1, 2017 0 1888
Now, it seems that almost the entire Kardashian-Jenner family is dealing with some cheating stories. Initially, rumors indicated that Tyga was cheating on his rumored girlfriend Kylie Jenner, although there were some reports out there indicating that the two were involved in a serious romance.
Soon after, the separation of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick was revealed. Scott left his long-term girlfriend and the couple's three children, after an alleged cheating story.
Now, it seems that Khloe Kardashian is dealing with a similar story. According to the latest reports, James Harden, Khloe's rumored boyfriend, had cheated on the star with an Australian student, Rochelle Relf. Rochelle revealed that she and James met back in June and she spent the night with him, after the NBA star told her that he was single.
"Khloe was with James in Hawaii, then he flew to Australia and spent the night with me," the 23-year-old woman said during an interview with New Idea. "He was charming, affectionate – he asked me to visit him in America and told me that he was a single guy," she added. Rochelle also claimed that she had no idea who James was when they first met and she only realized he was a celebrity when being surrounded by fans.
"He kept checking I was single and asked if a boyfriend would come bursting through the door looking for me," the woman confessed. "I laughed and asked if any girl was going to come bursting through the door looking for him and he said no." Rochelle went on to say that her intention has never been to harm Khloe or James, who she claimed was definitely not ready to settle down with the star.
Like many other celebrities, including her sister Kylie, Khloe opted for privacy, refusing to confirm the romance with James. However, the two have been spotted together several times, confirming that they were a couple. It is yet to see if the cheating story is true or not, moreover, it is yet to find out if Khloe and James are really a couple.

D. Chinchilla et al., "A flagellin-induced complex of the receptor FLS2 and BAK1 initiates plant defence," Nature, 448:497– 501, 2007. (Cited in 66 papers)
The finding:
A team of European researchers led by Thomas Boller of the University of Basel, Switzerland, challenged Arabidopsis thaliana plants with bacterial peptides, and found that mutants that lacked the gene for the co-receptor brassinosteroid insensitive 1 (BRI1)-associated receptor kinase 1 (BAK1) were more susceptible to infection. This suggested that BAK1, which was known to function in growth and development, also serves a critical role in helping plants sense and respond to infiltration by a broad range of microbes.
The impact:
The paper was "really fundamental" in revealing the molecular pathways that plant cells use to sense microbial molecules on their surfaces and mount intracellular signaling cascades, says Libo Shan, a Texas A&M University plant molecular biologist. "It opened up...
The tie-in:
Boller's team demonstrated that BAK1 interacts with flagellinsensitive 2 (FLS2), an immunity-related plant receptor. But BAK1 was previously known to regulate BRI1, an important regulator of growth and development in plants. "This shows a potential antagonism between growth and development and innate immunity," says study author Cyril Zipfel of the Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, UK.
The application:
Zipfel and his colleagues are now collaborating with agricultural scientists to find better ways to protect tomato and potato plants from microbial infection. "We can try to transfer the knowledge we gain in Arabidopsis thaliana into crop plants," he says.

Labour Day is a milestone in Canadian life. For many in Canada, true summer begins early on the Victoria Day long weekend in May, and ends on the Labour Day weekend. Like the USA, Canada celebrates Labour Day on the 1st Monday in September. Though the holiday is widespread, many other countries celebrate it at different times, most frequently on May 1.
For many Canadians, Labour Day is the end of holidays and one last chance for a swim at the lake, to enjoy a family BBQ in the waning summer sun, or to watch one of Canadian footballs' classic regional rivalries, see here. For me, as a suburban Toronto kid, the holiday weekend often meant going to the carnival, agricultural fair and international air show held at the Canadian National Exhibition, see here.
In 2015, Labour Day also marks the midway point of Canada's 42nd National Election, see my previous post on holidays and elections, here . Of course, Labour Day has always been closely connected to both politics and law in Canada.
Given the antipathy of many modern conservatives towards labour unions, some might be surprised to hear that it was Tory Prime Minister John Thompson who declared the day a National Holiday in 1894. However, the close connection between organized labour and Conservatives also extends back, at least, to Canada's 1st PM, Conservative John A. Macdonald.
In 1872, Macdonald's chief political rival was leading anti-union efforts to repress a printer's strike that was hurting his own newspaper business. With an election in the offing, Macdonald came out in support of the unions, whose leaders had been jailed under Canada's antiquated criminal laws.
Macdonald saw his chance to gain "a little cheap political capital", and promptly passed the Trade Union Act in June 1872. For the 1st time in Canadian history, participation in a labour union was no longer a criminal act. PM Macdonald cheerfully declared to crowds that "as a maker of cabinets, he was himself an industrial worker", and consequently won broad labour support.
Of course, the origins of Labour Day are only one part of a long story that stretches to the present day. Like millions of other Canadians on the long weekend, I will probably enjoy a little family time, watch for the 1st signs that the leaves have started to turn their Fall colours, and enjoy the last of the good weather. But I will also give a thought to the many who laboured over decades, to improve working conditions, and helped to build modern Canada.

Home/Entertainment/Verishop treats on its new Snapchat Shopping Mini – WWD
Verishop treats on its new Snapchat Shopping Mini – WWD
Huynh NguyenJuly 20, 2021
Verishop has become the newest fashion purveyor to discover Snapchat Minis, a product from the social video app that brings the features of a third-party, snack-sized app to the platform, Verishop CEO and co-founder Imran Khan told WWD.
Introduced last year, this feature paved the way for a select group of experiences in Snapchat apps, with 11 of them ranging from movie tickets to vote registrations. Verishop makes a dozen products, and with the launch, it aims to expand its reach with a shopping model designed for Snapchatters.
"We know that, while two decades ago, innovation in procurement was behind, in terms of infrastructure, the next two decades of innovation were ahead," he said. " he said.
Mini focuses on discovery in a distinct way, with 10 "moods" that Verishop believes will resonate with Snapchat users, with names like "The Flirt", "Cottagecore", "Free Spirited" ", "Dark Academia" and others, denoting themes or aesthetics such as boho and goth. People can choose their mood that day, then click to view and buy curated fashion and beauty products. The goal is to offer something like a windowed version of online shopping for independent brands and direct-to-consumer.
The approach is unique, as mood is not available on Verishop's main platform. That perhaps distinguishes it from the Poshmark, which its own Mini earlier this month acted as a showcase for featured Posh Parties and the full product portfolio.
Adding to the feeling of window shopping, consumers can also get their friends' opinions on products as they browse. That's the real social aspect of real-world shopping, and it's been strangely missing from social commerce.
Snap seems to admit it when it reveals its plans to make shopping more social at Partner Summit in the May. In some ways, the Verishop Mini looks like a continuation of those intentions.
"Instead of having to balance multiple apps to copy and paste items they might find in the Verishop app, we can bring that into chat," said Alston Cheek, director of platform partnerships at Snap Inc.
"We can really invent new ways, as we are doing with Verishop, to add a social class to shopping and invent new ways to shop with us," says Cheeks. your friends.
With 280 million daily active users, chances are everyone will have at least some personal contact inside the app.
This aspect has a lot of potential and it comes in the age of accelerated online shopping. But instead of rushing to take advantage of features that could lead to buggy experiences, Snap is working directly and "intentionally" with partners, Cheek added. That's why there aren't many of them so far.
However, he said, the company aims to make the tools more open in the future, as well as integrate other features, such as augmented reality testing.
Even in their current state, Snap seems content with traction so far. In the first month, more than 5 million Snapchatters used Headspace Mini and more than 2 million people used Givingli to design digital Valentine's Day cards, according to the tech company. Meanwhile, TurboVote Mini has helped a whopping 30 million users learn about the election and over 1 million registered voters.
Such numbers are sure to thrill Verishop's Khan. And as Snap's former chief strategy officer, he clearly understands the tech company's priorities and vision and how it fits into his company.
The 3-year-old startup spent its first two years focusing on setting up its infrastructure and business. When Minis were announced in June 2020, it was like a way for the business to spread its wings. "We want to make sure that innovation happens on the experience you already love. And so in our second year, we were ready to expand our platform," said Khan.
So it started working with Snap, as well as others, including Elle . magazine collaboration for a curated beauty collection. It also dives deeper into its own technological developments.
"The last six months have been incredible for us in terms of innovation implementation, hasn't it? We've launched content – if you download our app you'll see a feed of content and we've built images, computer vision to recognize other content and match them to the product ," Khan continued. "We launched live streaming. We now have video reviews. You can visit our website and see all past live streams and we have cut them and made short clips of short videos. And we do it automatically. These are not done manually. And now we are launching Snap Minis. "
Verishop also created new augmented reality filters for Snapchat users. One allowed them to try mostly lip balms from clean beauty brand Kosas, while another featured sunglasses from Fifth & Ninth.
For now, the AR lenses are separate from the Mini. But, as Cheek pointed out, it may not be for long, and it may not be just for accessories and beauty products. Snap has gone to great lengths to make realistic dress rehearsals a reality, thanks to its work with virtual fabric simulations and 3D body meshes that map human shapes and movements.

Façonnable's Eric Wright: The Raconteur
A San Franciscan by way of France takes hold of a classic French brand, with plenty of classic stories to tell
Mike Schreiber
Every good fashion designer should also be a storyteller about his clothes, his customers, the things that distinguish his designs from the other guy's and Eric Wright, the recently installed creative director of Façonnable, has a few stories to tell. Take, for example, the one behind his new employer: It begins on the French Riviera in 1950, when a tailor a "very, very famous tailor in the region," Wright says opened a shop in Nice that catered to European swells on holiday. ("Everybody went to him to have their dinner suits made. He had a very special touch.") Over the years, the brand evolved to focus on laid-back, luxurious sportswear that attracted customers whom Wright describes as "real men who had a certain sensibility about style and color and ease."
The story of Eric Wright, meanwhile, begins in San Francisco, sketching dresses for his mother at the age of five ("Stores would send her things and I would say, 'No, Mother, you have to send that back it's not very nice' ") and visiting his father's tailor for a custom-made cashmere boarding-school uniform. ("It had to fit perfectly. The blue had to be a certain kind of blue. It had to be double-breasted, and the metal buttons had to have my initials on it." He was seven.) His story then moves to Europe, where Wright spent a few decades designing in various capacities for Karl Lagerfeld (an "incredibly disciplined man") and Roberto Cavalli before meeting his current employer. This is where the two stories converge. "My DNA is very close to Façonnable's. Growing up in San Francisco, which has the same sort of weather as Nice, you apply layers in the morning because it's cooler, and by the afternoon, you're down to your shirtsleeves because it's very, very warm. I've always had an appreciation for the weight of fabrics and for the importance of layering, and so when I was offered the job, my instincts were saying, Do it, because it was something that was in my blood."
Chris Eckert/Studio D
For his first collection for Façonnable, now in the company's growing number of stores, Wright mixes casual sportswear with classic tailoring and places a huge emphasis on color, his spectrum ranging from a red corduroy suit and electric-blue trousers to a beige shearling coat and gray shawl-collar pullovers. It's an eclectic, appealing mix of styles and sensibilities, designed for and by a man with a few stories to tell.

We had a great time Saturday June 2 celebrating the official kickoff for John Kiehne's State Senate Campaign as well as celebrating our workers, our teachers, our artists and all those who believe that public service means to represent the good will of all the people- not just ourselves or the ones that we like.
We were honored to have labor leader Glenn Kage (UAW 2250) and environmental activist extraordinaire Patricia Schuba as guest speakers as well as a little musical entertainment from John, his wife Michelle and special guest Mark LeClaire.
Our origins may be humble but our intentions are pure and our motivation is absolute. This event was a great way to bring people together to get inspired and motivated to work to make big changes in our community by making changes in our government.
John also rolled out an effort that he calls "Each One Reach One". He asks that everyone make at the very least an effort to reach out to just one person and tell them about his campaign and motivate them to attend an event and (hopefully) go to johnkiehne.com/eachonereachone and sign up for the mailing list.
We will be adding pics and video from the event over the next few days as we sort through everything and organize the images.
Our next sponsored event will be a game night in late June. Details tba.

Hello Belize
Belize is a small nation full of culture and adventure, with a rich history, changing names and a wide range of natural resources to explore. Modern - today Belizing is located in the center of a kingdom that stretched from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula in the north to El Salvador in the south and the Caribbean in the west.
Christopher Columbus sailed off the coast of Belize in 1502, but he never anchored here, never set foot on land, and never even named the bay of Honduras. Although his discoveries led to Spain's claim to the entire New World, he did not visit the region that is now Belizing. The Spanish never had much success in colonization, and permanent European settlements were not established until many years later. Some of the original settlements, including Caracol and Tikal, have long since been abandoned. However, it was colonised in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the Spanish discovered precious minerals such as gold and silver.
As a result, Mayan civilizations in Belize and elsewhere in Mesoamerica have never recovered their classical glory.
The Maya are the most widespread ethnic group, having lived in Belize and the Yucatan region since 500 AD. The Maya reached their peak in the mid-20th century, when they conquered Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. Three unique Mayan groups still live in Belize today: the Ketchi, Mopan and Maya. In the south of Belization, the Mayan people, the Maya of the Chicharito region, and the Aztecs, Aztecs and Chichen Itza are the main groups.
Today, Belize is home to about 30,000 Mayans, 17,000 of whom are Ketchi, 11,500 of whom are Mayans. Are Mopan , 2200 are Yucatec and 2.5 million Aztecs. It is believed that this group reached Belizing, which covers all of Mesoamerica, at the end of the 5th century BC.
Numerous ruins indicate that the area, now called Belize, was once inhabited by Mayan Indians, whose civilization collapsed around 900 AD. The Mayan civilization, which covered large parts of Central America, settled in Belizing between 2500 BC and 900 BC. When it joined the emerging community of the Dominican Republic in 2006, the Belized Community continued to be part of a Province of Providence.
At the time, neighbouring Guatemala, which claimed to be its neighbour, confirmed that it had Belize as its own and at the same time the Dominican Republic.
The resulting Anglo-Guatemalan treaty was ratified by both sides, with the country becoming known as the colony of British Honduras (the name was changed to Belize in 1973). British colony, it remained for the rest of its history under the control of the United Kingdom and the U.S. government. The border dispute continued unabated until 1977, when both Guatemala and the United States began new negotiations with Belization. Tensions arose because Guatemala continued to claim sovereignty over Belize, despite the borders between Belize and Guatemala being established in 1859.
The Garifuna are a new generation of Belize City residents, having lived in British Honduras for some time. At that time they were brought to Belizing by the people involved in a slave revolt on the island of Barbados and by the people who had emigrated there from their native countries Honduras and Guatemala.
The Tipu in western Belize were bought by the Maya who fled Yucatan after the conquest. They had a big influence on Belizing when they moved to northern Belize to escape the violence.
Bowen traced his roots in Belize back to the 16th century, when the first Bowen from England disembarked from a British ship and joined a ragtag band from Baymen. Part of the problem may stem from shipwrecked Spanish seafarers, but there is no direct evidence of contact between Bowen and the Tipu or other indigenous peoples.
In the 19th century, the entire colony of British Honduras consisted of slaves and descendants of the slave-liberated. In 1800, the region became a crown colony, and the six sisters from New Orleans decided to stay in Belize. The communities of Belizing became independent communities in 1913, but by the mid-19th century modern Belizing had emerged, with the declaration of independence of the Honduran people from the British and the transformation of the region into a "crown colony." In January 1964, British Guatemala was reestablished as a self-governing colony and renamed Belize in June 1973, becoming the first self-governing colony in the United States of America under the control of the US government.
The British victory cemented its influence in Belize and was the reason why it is the only country in the United States (with the exception of the Caribbean) to recognise English as an official language. English has been the official language since it was a British colony; it has remained the official language of both Belizing and former British Honduras. The most diverse language in Belize is Kriol, or "Belizean Creole," and most Belizeans use it as rough and playful English - based on a language that includes a variety of dialects, such as Spanish, English, French, Spanish - English and Spanish. Some of the oldest mestizo families that have lived in this country for over 150 years speak of a diversity influenced by Creole.

One of the creatures was clad in steel armor, and it wielded a greatsword shrouded in green light. It was the armored phantom that Moment Queen once had authority over. Now, it was doing battle with a black skeleton. It wielded a weapon that looked like a bone itself, or some sort of horn. It wasn't easy to discern what it was at first glance, but it viciously fought against the armored phantom. When the strange weapon in the skeleton's hand collided with the phantom's greatsword, it wasn't damaged. Evidently, it was far tougher than Han Sen's Flaming Rex Spike.
The armored phantom saw Han Sen from afar and ran off, abandoning its fight against the skeleton. It didn't stop, and it just ran and ran until it was out of sight.
The skeleton had never seen Han Sen before, so it wasn't aware of the power he possessed. It ran towards Han Sen with its weapon raised, aiming to clobber its new target over the head.
The little angel appeared in front of Han Sen, and her transparent greatsword was swung to assail the bony fiend. The creature's attack was so hard that she was knocked back two meters. Having its first attempted attack blocked, the skeleton didn't waste any time switching targets.
Han Sen did not go to help the little angel, and he just stood there watching its energy flow. Much to his delight, he learnt that it was a second-generation super creature.
But after watching for a while, he felt bored. The powers of a second-generation super creature no longer thrilled him, and aside from their element and how they were used, they all seemed to be the same.
After learning many second-generation super creature energy flows, he started to realize how most were useless to him. His strongest skill was Sonic-Thunder Punch now, and the combination of those two elements proved far more effective than the energy flows he had learnt from any other second-generation super creature.
Han Sen knew the reason for this, however; he was in the Second God's Sanctuary. The energy flows he could simulate were all the same, and only allowed for a power that did not exceed the unlocking of the first gene lock.
If he entered the Third God's Sanctuary, he could most likely simulate the power of super creatures that had unlocked seven of their gene locks. Something like that was sure to be extraordinarily powerful, and worthy of getting excited about.
Han Sen's Dongxuan Sutra was a super Qi Gong, but the extent of its power was capped like every other skill here. Just like Jadeskin, only one of its gene locks could be opened. The usage of both of those skills were different, yes; but the power of both were practically the same.
The question of which Qi Gong was stronger would all be down to how many gene locks could be opened.
He would have to go to the Third God's Sanctuary to unravel and grasp the full power of the Dongxuan Sutra. No matter how many skills and powers he could simulate, it did not matter much if they were all capped to a single gene lock.
Dongxuan Sutra could only simulate the energy flow an opponent had. They couldn't be upgraded, so it was unnecessary for him to learn each and every one.
Han Sen believed the most useful energy flows he had learnt were Sonic-Thunder Punch and Aero; but he also believed the energy flow of the armored phantom was sure to be up there with his best. Light Son of God's energy flow was also quite useful, taking into account the incredible speed boost it gave him.
And in regards to Moment Queen's energy flow, although he could simulate it, his body couldn't handle the ability of teleportation. Using it was sure to result in suicide.
Once his fitness was higher, he'd be keen to try it out, though.
The skeleton continued to fight the little angel, so Han Sen summoned Moment Queen so that she might help her kill it. But the skeleton was cunning, and when it saw Moment Queen coming towards it, it quickly dug underground to escape.
The little angel drove her sword a few meters deep into the earth, but hit nothing. Its flight was a success, and she had no idea where it had now gone to.
"Never mind, then. Let's just go find the Empty Vine." Han Sen used his dongxuan aura to scan the ground below, and couldn't find a trace of the skeleton either. It appeared to be long gone now.
Han Sen continued walking, and when he saw the Empty Vine, he froze.
He thought it'd just be a vine that had writhed its way up a craggy cliff face. But when he saw it, he felt as if he had never been so wrong.
The vine was massive. It was like a grand pillar, wreathed around itself. It extended upwards like a tower towards heaven. It was so high, its top pierced the clouds above, obscuring how tall it truly was.
Han Sen saw it from afar, and he noticed something else. The armored phantom was climbing it, and not far below it, the black skeleton had resurfaced and was chasing it up.
They were going at a hurried pace, and before long, they had both passed through the lofty clouds.
"This is the Empty Vine? That's a big vine. How much fruit grows there? Do you think we'll have to fight for the fruit?" Han Sen asked, while looking at the leaves and flowers.
If each flower bore one fruit, the amount that would grow would seem limitless. And if so, there'd be no need for anyone or anything to fight to obtain one. He believed a thousand creatures could eat their fill without hassle, if that was true.
"That is only the vine's root," Moment Queen said coldly.
"Root? Since when do roots grows leaves and flowers?" Han Sen looked at her with an unconvinced face.
Moment Queen continued walking towards the vine, and as she went, she said, "This is the root of the Empty Vine. As we climb, you will eventually see the vine pierce through a floating island that rests above the sea of clouds. Above the island is the true body of the vine and the life it bears. The fruit will ripen soon, so we best hurry."
Han Sen nodded and followed Moment Queen over to the Empty Vine. The vine was like a fried dough twist, that extended all the way up to the clouds high above. It was wide enough to drive a truck up its side, presuming the truck did not answer to gravity.
Han Sen summoned his Golden Growler and rode up, seeing as there was so much space.
It was an interesting experience, and after climbing a few hundred meters, the view of the lands below was rather magnificent.
"Moment, how long until the fruit ripens? Do you think the Devil-Blood King is here yet?" Han Sen enquired, as he ascended.
"It should be ready in about two days, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Devil-Blood King has already arrived and taken over the best vantage points on the floating island," Moment Queen explained.
"If there is another two days to go, what is the rush? Let us climb slowly." While Han Sen said this, he suddenly heard a bird.
Han Sen turned and looked, and he saw a black-flame phoenix shoot through the clouds from the south.
"Isn't that the black-flame phoenix from the Black Desert? If that thing was willing to fly all this way here, I wonder how many other creatures are there up top?" Han Sen suddenly thought of something else, as well. "If the black-phoenix is here, I wonder if the green kirin is here, too?"

Q: Refactoring if-else blocks python with context managers? I'm looking to refactor some repetitive code blocks that looks like the following:
if condition == True:
    print("Doing some light work.")
else:
    print("Doing some work.")

    pass # this may be different for different purposes.

    print("Doing some other work.")

where all print statements represent some tasks common across block repetitions.
There are quite a few blocks of code like this, and I'm trying to factor out the repetitions -- i.e., everything except the statements represented by pass in the above chunk.
In other words, I'm looking for something similar to a contextmanager that wraps around the pass statement, and is able to handles the if-else statement. Is there a good way to do this in Python?

A: Perhaps you should look a little more broadly at your code and redesign it by applying the basic principles of OOP:
class BaseWorker:
    def do_work(self, condition):
        if condition:
            print("Doing some light work.")
        else:
            print("Doing some work.")
            self.specific_work()
            print("Doing some other work.")

    def specific_work(self):
        raise NotImplementedError

class WorkerA(BaseWorker):
    def specific_work(self):
        """worker A processing"""
        ...

class WorkerB(BaseWorker):
    def specific_work(self):
        """worker B processing"""
        ...

A: Write a function that takes a callback function for the part that's different.
def do_stuff(condition, callback):
    if condition:
        print("Doing some light work")
    else:
        print("Doing some work")
        callback()
        print("Doing some other work")

You could also rewrite this as a decorator that you use before the definitions of the callback functions.

Yearning for Iran: An elegy for my other homeland
By Cafe Gibraltar May 24, 2013 | Edit
A homeland is not a piece of cultivated land, nor the object of a war for pride. Homeland is not nationalism. Love has no place where land is a tool for control. Homeland is an idea through which we mold our hopes and our most secret fears. It is an unconditional love.
By Avraham H. Muthada
Khaju Bridge in Isfahan, Iran (Photo: Hamed Saber/CC)
I often find myself yearning for Iran. Despite the fact that my feet have never stepped there, my mouth has never tasted its water, my lips have not sipped from its goblet. There, in the diaspora, where the dream of the promised land still burned and echoed. The longing that was part of us even before man met women, a longing for what does not exist – for a borderless purity amongst humans. The mullah (rabbi) stands at the gate of the city during every holiday with complete devotion, his face tilted toward the West – toward the sea – mourning a hill of stones and broken memories, quietly praising and calling for Zion. In his mind's eye he sees the tribes of Israel and the Land of Judea and the Mediterranean – there he shall not pass.
My father shrinks into the blue, fur arm chair and sinks into a song of homesickness for a homeland left behind. "My Iran, my life and soul." He glances upward, imagining the pathways of his childhood, weaving together notes and letters to form a pearl necklace of suffering. He is motionless. Like a national monument, he collects remnants of moments and gives them vitality. Soon his eyes will open and a sigh will leave his mouth.
"I am like a victim of your land / and helpless without you / every beat of my heart is the whispering of Iran," the singer eulogizes the homeland, and my father continues, "Without you my home is full of sorrow / every moment is grief, the distance drives me mad / God knows that this world is a prison without you / life is dark and cold." Indeed, Iran is the homeland of many expatriates, not all of them Muslims. Different religions, tribes and cultures are tied together to the forgotten homeland which has been painted black and white.
No other homeland
The task of wandering to a distant homeland was commanded of us, even before we became a nation, in one sentence that changed our fate: "Go from your homeland and the homeland of your father to a country that I shall reveal to you." And here, thousands of years later, I wonder to myself, as Jews who returned to our homeland, aren't we supposed to feel an even stronger connection to nature, to humans, to the living and the air around us? Our hearts have been filled with songs of the homeland and love for the Land of Israel, built by the fearless pioneers who sought to redeem the land of the swamps, ever since we were little. Are not the history and literature books full of songs of praise such as "Ein Li Eretz Aheret" ("I Have No Other Country") and the famous "El Artzi" ("To My Land"), in which the Hebrew poet Rachel confesses that she did not do enough for her country.
Yoram Taharlev nicknamed it a "homeland with no shirt, a barefoot homeland." Uzi Chitman called for "Eretz Ha'Tzabar," (Land of the Tzabar) and even Aviv Geffen called it "Uri Ur." But no, the promised land disappointed. Friends of mine who up until recently claimed "I love the country, not the state," can now be found waiting in endless lines for a foreign passport, or at the very least a long-term visa. And like a beggar at the gates, divested of my memories and of the images of my forefather's land, I am forced to bear a burden that is not my own. Creating a love for the homeland out of nothing, instead of creating new meaning for living in my country, Israel, through the eyes of my forefathers.
A letter of longing from Zion to Iran
Pain is the father of creation. It is woven into our being, into books, songs and prayers. Often I find myself incessantly switching stations on the radio, until I find an Arabic station and sink into the trills of the muezzin. Quarter tones, the deeply layered singing, carved out of a deep place of pain, remind me of the songs of my home.
"My heart wants to return to Isfahan…
I am still here, but my heart is there / all my prayers and desires are there."
As a boy I loved the elegy for Isfahan, the birthplace of my parents, but I never wondered why. It is possible that I considered the city as holy as Jerusalem, where belief and holiness move us to a memory we have never experienced. I sit and stare into my father's eyes. I am filled with jealousy as those eyes yearn for a homeland that was taken away, for the sounds that arise from the oblivion and fill the room. The glory of a faraway kingdom, stories of bravery about giants and ghosts who walk among humans. Stories about simple people and their simple lives. That same yearning for a homeland that prevails in my family excites me to the point that it seems as if it is inherited. Or perhaps they borrowed this trait from their Shi'ite neighbors, another persecuted minority who will one day reach salvation. Persian is a holy language to me – it empowers my mind and stimulates my creativity. Songs for Iran, which are sung by Iranian expats, those same songs I grew up on, penetrate my body and strum into my soul, despite not understanding most of the words.
MK Hanin Zoabi, with whom I do not see eye to eye, once claimed that Jews in Israel do not understand the love for a homeland. "Loving the homeland means loving and respecting its history and that of its indigenous people. One who loves his homeland does not cut down trees nor build ugly fences and does not ruin the natural view. This is not love, this is a project that says 'we are the masters and we want to erase the other group that exists here'." This is true. A homeland is not a piece of cultivated land, nor the object of a war for pride. Homeland is not nationalism. Love has no place where land is a tool for control. Homeland is an idea through which we mold our hopes and our most secret fears. It is an unconditional love.
My love for Zion and Jerusalem has nothing to do with blue and white and is not based in the history books of my childhood. Its origins lay in adopting the love for a homeland from my father. From Iran to Zion. From Isfahan to Jerusalem. There is an uncertainty about a father instilling forgotten love and continuity to his son. Like the poet Khalil Gibran wrote:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
This is the legacy I inherited from my father.
It is ironic that the land Abraham left for the Promised Land is the same land he misses while being in the Promised Land. Zion is my homeland, and I will love it forever. But every time that I direct my desire toward Jerusalem, the holiest of holies, I will slightly divert my eyes to Iran and tilt my head to hear the echoes of the mullah praying for the Land of Israel, that which he will never see.
