Бистрица () е село в Северна Македония, част от община Чашка.

География
Селото е разположено в областта Азот, в южните склонове на планината Якубица, на 50 километра югозападно от град Велес.

История
Селото се споменава във Виргинската грамота от втората половина на XIII век на цар Константин Тих - Асен, с която българският владетел го дарява на манастира "Свети Георги" край Скопие. Това е подвърдено по-късно от сръбския владетел Стефан II Милутин (1299/1300). По османско враме Бистрица в нахия Кюпрюлю е отбелязано в регистри от XV и XVI век като голямо и имотно, известно с големия си брой овце, добитък, мелници, валалници, както и със соколарите си.

През 1860 година албанският разбойник Зендил ага напада Бистрица, ограбва я и избива местните воденичари. Църквата "Света Богородица" в селото е дело на Андон Китанов и е изградена в 1853 година. Църквичката "Свети Георги", разположена извън селото, е от XVII век.

В "Етнография на вилаетите Адрианопол, Монастир и Салоника", издадена в Константинопол в 1878 година и отразяваща статистиката на мъжкото население от 1873 г., Бристрица (Bristritza) е посочено като село със 105 домакинства и 459 жители българи.

Според статистиката на Васил Кънчов ("Македония. Етнография и статистика") в края на XIX век Бистрица има 1100 жители, всички българи християни.

В началото на XX век цялото селото е под върховенството на Българската екзархия. По данни на секретаря на екзархията Димитър Мишев ("La Macédoine et sa Population Chrétienne") в 1905 година в Бистрица (Bistritza) има 1184 българи екзархисти и в селото работи и българско училище. В началото на ХХ век въпреки засиления натиск, Бистрица устоява на опитите на въоръжената сръбска пропаганда да принуди селото да се откаже от българщината. Бистрица запазва своята българска просвета, като остава под върховенството на Екзархията. До Балканската война бистричани не позволяват на сръбска чета да влезе в селото им.

При избухването на Балканската война единадесет души от Бистрица са доброволци в Македоно-одринското опълчение.

След Междусъюзническата война в 1913 година селото попада в Сърбия.

На етническата си карта от 1927 година Леонард Шулце Йена показва Бистрица (Bistrica) като наскоро посърбено българско село.

Light The Night's virtual gathering will remember those touched by blood cancers, fundraise for research
Local community raises millions for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada since Craig Peleshok brought walk to Ottawa in 2010
OBJ.social is supported by the generous patronage of Mark Motors and Marilyn Wilson Dream Properties and the National Arts Centre. Read their stories here.
Organizations: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada
People: Craig Peleshok
Light The Night Ottawa founder Craig Peleshok can't help but superstitiously rap his knuckles on his wooden office desk while talking about how he beat cancer. He does it because he would never want to jinx himself, not after doctors cured him of a rare form of leukemia almost 14 years ago.
"After I went into remission, the doctor said to me, 'Do you know how lucky you are?'," recalled Peleshok. "I said, 'What do you mean lucky? I got cancer!'. He said, 'You're lucky that you came into the hospital when you did'."
Had he waited any longer, the Ottawa man wouldn't be here today. Nor would he be volunteering with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC), having brought its flagship fundraiser, Light The Night, to Ottawa.
OBJ360 (Sponsored)
For 20 years, Hendry Warren LLP has built a forward-thinking work culture with values from the past
Hendry Warren LLP is celebrating its first 20 years in business by bringing the next generation into the partnership.
After just over one year with the company, Halef is advancing his career with District Realty.
The annual event raises funds for blood cancer research, along with programs and support services for patients and their families. While blood cancers are not as common among adults as, say, breast cancer or lung cancer, they remain the most common types of cancer in children. Fortunately, after decades of being considered a death sentence, survival rates are improving.
"I truly believe that if we find a cure for blood cancers, we're that much closer to finding a cure for all cancers," said Peleshok during an interview to talk about Light The Night 2021.
With September being National Blood Cancer Awareness Month, organizers are getting the word out that the fundraiser is back on Saturday, Oct. 23rd, with the hope that they can attract more corporate support. The event will be live streamed nationally so that Canadians who are immunocompromised, including those who are newly diagnosed or in treatment, will still be able to participate during the pandemic.
Light The Night was held virtually for its first time in 2020, raising $252,000 in Ottawa and more than $5 million nationally. In non-pandemic years, it raises more than $300,000, locally.
Organizers are hoping to revert next year to their regular format, which has participants walk at night in solidarity, with illuminated lanterns in hand. In Ottawa, thousands of people participate each year, completing a 5 km scenic route together. "It's spectacular," said Peleshok of the event, which has patients and survivors carry white lanterns, supporters carry red lanterns and those who have lost loved ones carry gold lanterns.
Peleshok is the general sales manager of Hunt Club Honda. He's been working in the automobile industry for most of his life, starting at his family's GM dealership in Oshawa when he was 12.
He first got sick in August 2008, at age 41. He'd been feeling under the weather all week. He had no energy even to help celebrate his twin daughters' 15th birthday. "I could hardly lift the spatula to barbecue."
His family convinced him to get checked out. He went to the General Campus of The Ottawa Hospital, where — once his blood test came back — his case quickly became a medical emergency.
Peleshok was admitted for more tests and, the next day, a bone marrow aspiration.
Said the doctor to his patient: I have good news and bad news. There's no punchline here; Peleshok was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia, but his prognosis was very good, with a remission rate of about 90 percent. "I started inpatient chemo the next day."
Five months later, Peleshok finished his third round of aggressive chemotherapy. He was cured. "The doctors told me I had a better chance of getting hit by lightning than having my cancer come back."
Along with bringing the Light The Night walk to Ottawa in 2010, Peleshok has also served as a national board member with LLSC and has started support groups for patients and their families in Ottawa. Through his volunteer work, he's come to know Dr. Mitchell Sabloff, a hematologist at The Ottawa Hospital and director of the leukemia program. "He's just an incredible, incredible doctor."
Peleshok said he's often approached at Light The Night by participants wanting to thank him for his involvement. "I'm not doing anything," he said, modestly. "I'm giving them hope, as somebody who's walked in their shoes and come out on the other side.
"Not everybody makes it, and that's very, very tough," he added, before pausing to let his emotions pass. "I'm sorry, I get a little choked up."

Is a third option for transitioning from FTM on the horizon?
February 15, 2016 Software, TechnicalAncestorSync, ancestry.com, fhiso, ftm, gedcomPhilip
I know the transition from FTM doesn't fall within the primary purpose of this blog, but I've always covered the technology of genealogy, and I think the FTM transition has been an important story in genealogy, and has a lot of interesting implications.
I previously reported on the retirement of FTM, what options were out there for transitioning away from FTM, and most recently about Ancestry's selling of FTM to a third party (Software MacKiev) and licensing it's APIs to another company (RootsMagic).
In my earliest post on the topic of FTM's retirement, I mentioned a discontinued product called AncestorSync that had been created to move data between different genealogy programs and services. The need for something like AncestorSync existed (and still exists) because the only way to transfer data between genealogy programs and services has been to use a GEDCOM file, whose standard was last updated back in 1999. GEDCOM hasn't evolved with genealogy programs, and because of that it cannot transfer everything we collect in our genealogy programs to another program or service without losing some data. Not every program or service interprets GEDCOM the same way either, which leads to other programs like data corruption.
This is why the FTM transition is so interesting. As if to prove how big of a problem all of the above is, we've seen multiple genealogy software companies modify their programs to better import GEDCOM files from FTM. So far GEDCOM is the only option available, but by the end of the year there will be the two options I recently mentioned – an updated FTM under new ownership, and a version of RootsMagic that can import FTM files directly. That two companies other than Ancestry will now have software capable of importing FTM files directly, is only because Ancestry no longer views these companies as competitors. Up until now, it wasn't in Ancestry's interest to allow any third-party company to be able to read the FTM file format other than themselves.
So we know have two groups of options for former FTM users. We have a slew of genealogy software companies that have updated their programs to better import FTM-generated GEDCOM files, and we have a second smaller group (pair) of companies that will be able to read FTM files directly. That brings us to the third possible option, which I mentioned way back in December, and again just up above – AncestorSync. Years ago when AncestorSync was being introduced I happened to meet the CTO of the company producing it, Dovy Paukstys. We were at a genealogy conference, and he was showing off his product. When FTM made their announcement, I fired off a tweet to Dovy, wondering if AncestorSync might be resurrected. AncestorSync fell off the radar two years ago, and Dovy had moved on to other things, but I figured he would know what happened to the technology.
Back in December I hadn't heard a response, and didn't think much about it until a couple of days ago when Dovy finally responded:
So it seems there might now be another option for FTM users on the way. The goal of AncestorSync, as I recall, was to allow the transfer of data between programs and services while retaining all the information. AncestorSync had modules for each program or service it supposed, and allowed you to move data around between the different modules. Initially the services and programs supported included Geni, MyHeritage, FamilySearch, ourFamilyology, Legacy Family Tree, RootsMagic, PAF, Ancestral Quest and FTM. I do remember work was underway on The Master Genealogist (since discontinued) and MacFamilyTree.
Of course, if a new standard were to emerge to replace GEDCOM, a program like AncestorSync wouldn't be necessary. As efforts like GEDCOM X and FHISO haven't yet managed to come up with a format that can handle better interchange of data and get it accepted by the genealogy software ecosystem, AncestorSync might yet fill the void.
Ancestry just killed off Family Tree Maker
December 9, 2015 SoftwareAncestorSync, ancestry.com, ftm, GenBridgePhilip
It appears that Ancestry.com just killed off their desktop genealogy software Family Tree Maker. They will continue to sell it until December 31, 2015, and will cease supporting it on January 1, 2017. That means people who use the software can continue using it for another year, and Ancestry will continue to support features like TreeSync (which allows users to sync their FTM tree with their Ancestry.com tree).
Personally, I was never a huge fan of the software. Of course they never fully supported the Mac platform, but I tried all their Mac versions, and even beta tested the second version for them. I had two major complaints with the software. The first was that it was buggy. That might have just been the Mac version, I'm not sure. The second, was that the user interface was very counter-intuitive to me. there were other problems, like its handling of images, and other minor complaints, but it seems pointless to go over them now. The main reasons I continued to try using it was the potential for syncing with Ancestry.com, and for sharing files with other relatives who used it, but it was never my primary genealogy software.
Unless I'm mistaken, that leaves MyHeritage's Family Tree Builder as the only desktop genealogy software left that is paired to an online family tree site.
Interestingly both Ancestry and MyHeritage have added Mac versions of their desktop software in recent years. The only other major genealogy software to make add Mac support recently has been RootsMagic, which used the same Windows-emulation technology as MyHeritage to port their Windows software to the Mac.
I don't know the market share of all the different genealogy programs out there, but I imagine there will be a mad scramble to try to grab abandoned FTM users. I don't know what market share FTM had overall, but my impression is that is was significant. I don't know if any other genealogy program is able to successfully import data from FTM files without losing any data. I imagine developers of other programs are now looking at how to improve their importing.
One technology for importing FTM files was GenBridge, which was a library developed by Wholly Genes Software, the creators of The Master Genealogist (TMG) software. GenBridge was licensed to several other genealogy software companies to allow importing of different formats, although Wholly Genes Software discontinued TMG last year, and presumably GenBridge was discontinued with it. It would be interesting if GenBridge was discontinued right before FTM users needed the capability.
I remember a company a few years ago that was developing software to sync between different genealogy programs as well as online services. The company was called Real Time Communications and the product was called AncestorSync. That product never really made it out of beta as far as I can tell (I'm pretty sure the company closed around 2012 or 2013 at the latest), but I wonder what happened to their sync technology. Someone might want to brush off some old code if it's still able to convert FTM files.
I'm not sure Ancestry has handled the 'retirement' of their desktop software so gracefully. A lot of people are undoubtedly upset about FTM being discontinued, and whether or not they will have support for a year, they still have a lot of work ahead of them to get their family trees transitioned to new software. I wonder if Ancestry's hope is that users will just sync their trees to Ancestry's online trees, and forget about desktop software altogether. That's certainly the easiest option for a lot of users, but they lose a lot of the advanced features that come with desktop software (like charts, reports, media handling, etc.). I hope Ancestry will show a little more compassion for their users and provide more options in the coming year for getting their data out of FTM and into other full-featured programs. Time will tell.

Giant Solar Wave On Its Way
Chart: 2/3rds of Global Solar PV Has Been Installed in the Last 2.5 Years
And capacity will nearly double in the next 2.5 years.
Stephen Lacey: August 13, 2013
If you want to understand why people so often compare deployment trends in solar photovoltaics (PV) to Moore's law in computing, consider this statistic: two-thirds of all solar PV capacity in place worldwide has been installed since January 2011.
Let's put that into perspective. It took nearly four decades to install 50 gigawatts of PV capacity worldwide. But in the last 2 1/2 years, the industry jumped from 50 gigawatts of PV capacity to just over 100 gigawatts. At the same time, global module prices have fallen 62 percent since January 2011.
Even more amazingly, the solar industry is on track to install another 100 gigawatts worldwide by 2015 -- nearly doubling solar capacity in the next 2 1/2 years.
Those statistics and the chart below, courtesy of GTM Research Senior Analyst MJ Shiao, illustrate the exponential growth in the global PV market.
Source: GTM Research
And as Shiao's second chart below shows, the U.S. distributed solar market is on pretty much the same growth trajectory. More than two-thirds of America's distributed PV (everything except for utility-scale projects) has been installed since January 2011. And by 2015, the country's distributed PV market is expected to jump by more than 200 percent.
Chart: GTM Research/SEIA U.S. Solar Market Insight
There are a few key takeaways from these figures.
First, utilities still dismissing solar as inconsequential or "cute" may soon be in for a rude awakening. According to the Solar Market Insight report from GTM Research and SEIA, the national average for residential system prices fell another 18 percent last year; non-residential prices fell 13.3 percent.
The falling cost and price of installation is starting to open up new markets without incentives. As Shayle Kann, vice president of GTM Research, pointed out recently, roughly 3,000 residential solar systems were installed in California without the use of any state incentives in the first quarter of this year.
"This is emblematic of a sea change in the solar industry, and even more importantly, in the energy industry," wrote Kann.
But this rapid increase in installations won't create challenges for just utilities -- it will also create challenges for the solar industry itself. Since the solar market is still at the beginning of a steep growth curve, it's hard to say whether the business models and technologies we know today are going to be successful in the future.
This will likely mean more bankruptcies and more consolidation. It will also test the reliability of products operating in the field.
Because two-thirds of PV capacity in the field today was only installed in the last couple of years, a majority of the products are still very new. Solar is a multi-decade investment, and there is uncertainty around how new hardware will perform over the long term, explained Shiao.
"We're really at the beginning stages of understanding PV in terms of products in the field, viable business models, and effects on the grid, especially when you consider that PV is being sold many times as a twenty-year asset. Now is the time to look deeper into issues surrounding product reliability, market sustainability and O&M business models."
The boom in distributed solar is underway. And we've only just begun to understand the implications.

With incredibly speed, exceptional precision, and unparalleled power, a pneumatic framing nailer is the favorite tool of numerous industrial craftsmen. Making life and work easier, one of these tools is a shining beacon in any tool repertiore. For those in the market for a severe pneumatic , look no further than these reviews of the industy's best framing nailers.
Hitachi's NR83A2 framing nailer is among the most premium, high-performance pneumatic on the market today. Weighing just 7.9 lbs the tool is clearly lightweight and the tool is extremely well balanced for the most comfortable operation and maneuverability. The framer has a tool-less depth modification allowing artisans to pick their depth of drive, and with an open nose style, extracting a jammed nail is hardly a hassle. The framer also includes selective actuation, a preferred function of the majority of users, which allow artisans to just shift from single actuation to contact actuation for the best flexibility through a range of applications. Check the best framing nailer by following the link as well.The tool is strong, quick, and flexible, and due to the fact that it's likewise so lightweight and well-balanced, constant work and uncomfortable applications are far less exhausting. Ultimately, the NR83A2 is a seriously hard framer built for sturdiness on the jobsite and for dependability through the most heavy-duty applications. Finally, rates from about $290 – $320, Hitachi's is a bit spendy, but deserves every cent. (Note: This tool is also available as a sequential trigger weapon (NR83A2S) for practically $300.).
On another hand, Porter-Cable's FR350A 3-1/2″ roundhead framing nailer is one of the more sturdy pneumatic framing tools on the market today. With the power to drive nails up to 3-1/2″ x 131″ into engineered lumber, the tool has extreme power. The 's compact body design contributes to its well-balance and overall smooth design while an internal piston catch system guarantees each shot is consistently effective. A selectable trigger shifts modes between restrictive or contact actuation mode, and with a tool-free adjustable depth-of-drive, craftsmen have total control over the tool's efficiency. The tool is simple to reload, and a nail lockout mechanism signals you when its time to refill your tool. Keeping your materials secured during work, the framer also has a (tool-free, adjustable) exhaust and a (removable) non-marring nose pointer, and likewise having on-tool storage, the FR350AR is constantly convenient. Varying in cost from about $200 – $230, the framer is a dazzling tool at a certainly reasonable rate.
The FR350A is likewise offered reconditioned (FR350AR) for practically $160. As a reconditioned tool, this nailer presents a genuinely exceptional worth to craftsmen and contractors. For those not familiar with reconnaissances, they are a very fantastic value that bring artisans the highest-performance tools at a tiny portion of regular expense. Reconditioned tools, for some small cosmetic or technical flaw, have been returned to the maker. There, they undergo a series of rigid tests and retests and restoration procedures before being re-released with an "R" trailing the design number. This little "R" (and possibly numerous dollars) is truly the only difference between a brand name brand-new tool and a reconnaissance. The value with reconditioned tools is a no-brainer; when they are offered, buy them.
Like Hitachi and Porter-Cable, Senco is understood for constructing a few of the very best pneumatic tools and nailers in the industry. With well-seasoned experience and exceptional workmanship, Senco is an unfaltering contender on the planet of pneumatics. Rates from about $270 – $290, their SN902XP framing nailer is a dazzling and saucy little tool with 904 in/lbs of power in a compact, 7.3 pound plan. This round head is likewise constructed with a innovated style that needs as much as fifteen-percent less air than other equivalent models, and still having the power to drive 2 – 3-1/4″ (round head plastic looked at) framing nails with fast effectiveness, the nailer perfectly joins precision power and light-weight convenience. The nailer likewise drives 2″ -3 -1/ 2″ smooth shank nails and 2″ -3″ ring shank nails. The tool's compact design also adds to its ability to work in tight spaces in between studs and joists, and its overall balance and ease of operation. In addition, the gun is simple to shift from rapid fire to sequential fire and is basic to load and dump for optimum benefit on the task. The SN902XP is ideal for a huge number of applications from framing, fencing and subfloors, to trusses and decking. It furthermore has a patented TrueDrive magazine to prevent jamming and an adjustable depth of drive for unfailing precision with every shot. Like the above Porter-Cable nailer, Senco's SN902XP is also available reconditioned (if you can discover it) for about $170.
In the end and whatever your requirements might be, one of these nailers is specific to be a perfect framer. With big power, intense precision, and the responsibility of a time-honored producer, these pneumatic framing nailers are the best of the best.

classes had to be broken up into three shifts just to accommodate the students, most of whom came from poor families in the area;
aside from the shortage in classrooms, up to six students had to share one textbook in the school (DepEd had claimed it is working on a ratio of one student per textbook).
Lapus, you might as well quit. Claiming something that isn't true is covering up one's shortcomings. There are two facets of claims, i.e., it's either you're part of the problem or you're part of the solution. I know problems plague the country's education system, and such always crop up at the start of each school year. Everybody knows! So, why go out and claim things that aren't true in the first place? Why not learn something from it and from the experience of past secretaries?
Do you honestly believe that the budget for education is enough? Maybe? Ho-hum! No? You're a bright kid, Lapus! Yes? Then you are a fool, Mr. Secretary! The quality of education in the Philippines is in near chaos! It has declined over the years, and this my friend, will have serious effects on our national competitiveness and productivity. It will touch all aspects of national life as we know it, e.g,. from losing to competition in the employment market, to the way we elect our government officials. So why aren't you doing something about it?
But AnitoKid, the government is doing everything it can to solve the education crisis, you say. Well, believe you me, it is one hell of a pathetic effort! Simply put, IT IS INADEQUATE! The class size has been regulated to 45 students, yet we have rooms where 80-100 students cram like sardines! And to top it off, class hours are still too short with two shifts per day! There are even public schools that hold classes in three shifts to accommodate the huge student population. And we haven't yet tackled the shortage of textbooks in the public education system and students' lack of access to computers.
Saan naman lulugar ang mga bata? Hindi porke nakatapos na kayo at lahat, at nakaupo na jan e ganyan na lang! Sa totoo lang! Kung kaya lang pag-aralin ni AnitoKid silang lahat e aakuin na niya ang obligasyon!
One thing is clear, i.e., the government's response to the education crisis is pathetic. It is inadequate! Thus, don't just visit two schools and say that there is no shortage! Mr. Secretary, officials, and staff at DepEd, we need to address the problem quickly and come up with innovative solutions, both short- and long-term solutions. The media, i.e., TV, radio, print, and online, are your friends! They are there for a reason! it takes two to speak the truth, i.e., one to speak, and another to hear. Knowing is not enough. We have to apply! Have pity on our raped country. Still, show mercy and compassion towards our children, whose future depends on their education. And I kid you not!

We can always blame the President for her lack of political will to improve our education system. We can always blame the Education Secretary for being incompetent and ill-equipped to do his job. We can always blame the lawmakers for their inability to allocate sufficient funds to build classrooms and hire teachers. We can always blame corruption because it makes the aforementioned personalities useless. But why not blame ourselves for this perennial predicament. It has to be noted that the problem has something to do with numbers. Given that perspective, would it be better if the Philippines is not overpopulated. Indeed, being responsible members of the society entails awareness on population control. It may not totally solve the problem we are facing at this point. But at least we are being part of the solution. We always like to blame, it is now time to raise our game.
More! More! More!

Aggressively Stupid: WaPo Attacks on Marco Rubio
By Sarah Rumpf | Oct 21, 2011 9:42 AM ET
Rubio: Proud of his family's history
The Washington Post published a ridiculous hit piece on Marco Rubio yesterday, claiming that "documents show" that Rubio had "embellished the facts" about his family's history, specifically how they came to America from Cuba.
You can pinch your nose and read the article here.
Because Rubio's family emigrated to America from Cuba in 1956, and Fidel Castro did not officially take power until 1959, writer Manuel Roig-Franzia claims that Rubio should not be able to say he is part of the Cuban exile community, and accuses Rubio of exaggerating his family's history for political gain.
I have decided I will not call this article journalistic malpractice, because that would imply that what Roig-Franzia published yesterday was journalism, instead of an egregious attempt at character assassination. Roig-Franzia's belligerent distortions of history makes him a prime candidate to create the next campaign video for Alan Grayson (of "Taliban Dan" fame).
Let's start by clarifying the events at the time the Rubios emigrated. While Castro did not officially take power until 1959, Cuba was in severe turmoil for years before that. Castro's predecessor, Fulgencio Batista, was himself a brutal dictator, and the communist revolution has its roots in a bloody assault led by Fidel and Raul Castro on the Moncada military barracks on July 26, 1953. The 1954 elections were universally viewed as tainted by fraud and intimidation tactics by the Batista regime, and the next few years would be characterized by frequent anti-Batista riots, frequently involving students.
Unemployment was a serious problem by 1955, leading to further demonstrations by graduating students unable to find work, and ever-increasing repression. In April 1956, General Ramón Barquín led an unsuccessful coup d'état attempt against Batista, who responded with a purge of the officer corps of the Cuban Army and brutal interrogations – often followed by public torture and executions – of suspected dissidents. Young men were especially at risk, as the regime viewed them all as potential revolutionaries.
That is what was happening in Cuba when a twenty-nine year old Mario Rubio decided to bring his wife and young family to America in May 1956 (for the moron birthers out there, note that the paperwork clearly states that the Rubios were "lawfully admitted to the United States" – i.e., they were legalimmigrants). It was far beyond the lack of economic opportunity – Cuba in 1956 was not free, not stable, not safe.
The Rubio family originally planned to move back to Cuba when things calmed down, but it was not meant to be. The Batista regime's brutal oppression continued until it was violently overthrown and Fidel Castro took power in January 1959. The Rubios made brief visits to Cuba, the last of which was in 1961, before giving up that dream.
An "exile" is someone who is in a state of forced or voluntary absence from that person's home country. The Rubio family left Cuba in a period of extreme unrest under Batista and wanted to return later but could not because of Castro, and to claim that they are not exiles is patently absurd.
I realize that it is impossible for a reporter to get every fact right, every time, and I have come to expect a certain amount of liberal media bias. This Washington Post article, however, goes far beyond that. Roig-Franzia displayed a belligerent and aggressive level of stupidity by making accusations that are easily debunked in less than a minute on Wikipedia! The Cuban Revolution deprived Marco Rubio's family of their homeland, period, and Rubio is rightfully and truly a part of the Cuban exile community.
What makes Roig-Franzia's attacks on Rubio even worse is his misrepresentations about what Rubio has actually said about his family history. Marc Caputo at the Miami Herald did an excellent job ripping Roig-Franzia into shreds:
Miami Herald | Naked Politics Blog | Did the Washington Post embellish Marco Rubio's 'embellishments'?
…But the top of the story suggests Rubio himself has given this "dramatatic account:" that "he was the son of exiles, he told audiences, Cuban Americans forced off their beloved island after 'a thug,' Fidel Castro, took power."
However, the story doesn't cite one speech where Rubio actually said that.
To back up the lead, the Washington Post excerpts from a 2006 address in the Florida House where Rubio said "in January of 1959 a thug named Fidel Castro took power in Cuba and countless Cubans were forced to flee… Today your children and grandchildren are the secretary of commerce of the United States and multiple members of Congress…and soon, even speaker of the Florida House."
The catch: If you listen to the speech, Rubio isn't just talking about those who specifically fled Cuba after Castro took power. He doesn't say that his parents fled Cuba. Instead, he was talking about "a community of exiles." That is: He was talking about all the Cubans who live in Miami.
Regardless of when his parents left Cuba, they were exiles because they stayed in the US, specifically Miami, in a community where they soon felt they couldn't go back to their homeland. Though the story said his parents left for economic reasons, it's silent about the fact that the dictator before Castro, Batista, was so brutal that it made Castro look like a good alternative at first. (Insert debate over the fairness of the post-Castro Cuban Adjustment Act here).
The Post also says "the supposed flight of Rubio's parents has been at the core of the young senator's political identity." That's a stretch. The actual story of the "flight" is far less emphasized than the fact that Rubio's an Hispanic Republican, an immigrant and an exile.
So to suggest Rubio serially embellished the "dramatic" story of his parents fleeing Cuba could be a little too dramatic itself. And it might be an embellishment as well — absent more information clearly showing Rubio has repeatedly said his parents fled Castro's Cuba.
Rubio's office has told both the [Washington] Post, the St. Petersburg Times and The Miami Herald that his parents came to the United States prior to Castro taking power. And he has said it more than once. In the article we wrote last month about his pending autobiography, Rubio clearly told us his parents came here before Castro took power. He struggled to recall the year (this isn't in the story, it's in my notes) and said it was in "57 or 58 or 59."
When asked pointedly: Was it before the revolution?
Rubio said it was before the revolution
Caputo's description of Rubio emphasizing his family's status as Hispanics and exiles far more than any story of a "flight" matches my own observations.
I have never, not once, heard Rubio claim that his parents faced any specific abuse or oppression under either the Batista or Castro regime. Instead, Rubio frequently speaks of his sadness that the Cuban people continue to suffer under Castro, as well as his appreciation for the upward mobility that America's freedom and capitalist economy allow. Rubio's father worked as a bartender, and Rubio often describes his pride that in one generation, his family could go from working the bar at banquets, to being the guest of honor standing at the podium instead.
So, to sum up: while the Rubios should rightfully be considered part of the Cuban exile community, Rubio has not claimed that his family "fled from" Castro, so Roig-Franzia is misleading at best (and a dirty rotten liar at worst) to accuse Rubio of doing so.
The Washington Post and Manuel Roig-Franzia (as well as whichever blind and ignorant toad of an editor approved that article) owe Rubio a huge apology.
Rubio's Senate office released the following statement yesterday in response to the article:
SENATOR RUBIO COMMENTS ON HIS FAMILY'S HISTORY
Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio issued the following statement regarding outrageous allegations that he embellished his family's history:
"To suggest my family's story is embellished for political gain is outrageous. The dates I have given regarding my family's history have always been based on my parents' recollections of events that occurred over 55 years ago and which were relayed to me by them more than two decades after they happened. I was not made aware of the exact dates until very recently.
"What's important is that the essential facts of my family's story are completely accurate. My parents are from Cuba. After arriving in the United States, they had always hoped to one day return to Cuba if things improved and traveled there several times. In 1961, my mother and older siblings did in fact return to Cuba while my father stayed behind wrapping up the family's matters in the U.S. After just a few weeks living there, she fully realized the true nature of the direction Castro was taking Cuba and returned to the United States one month later, never to return.
"They were exiled from the home country they tried to return to because they did not want to live under communism. That is an undisputed fact and to suggest otherwise is outrageous."

Thailand continued its drive to clean up its image with a law coming into force this week to arrest all beggars.
Destitute Thais are often seen on the streets of Bangkok are other major cities with bowls for small change. Many of them are disable or women with small children with them.
But after Thursday they will be rounded up and arrested.
The Government wants to clean up the country's image for tourists and target the traffickers and gangsters that control organised begging rings – pocketing the money themselves from their stable of homeless.
Beggars who are arrested will be fined 1,000 baht or be jailed for up to a month, while ringleaders of begging gangs will receive 3,000 baht fines and up to three months in prison.
There are believed to be more than 5,000 beggars in Thailand, including some 1,700 foreign beggars.
Maj. Gen. Sansern Kaewkamnerd from the Thai military government warned that foreign beggars will be deported.
He added that Thai beggars will receive training and support after serving their sentence.
The drive to rid the streets of beggars comes amidst a similar push to remove street sellers from parts of Bangkok and a crackdown on massage parlours.

Yusef Bushara doesn't normally get nervous about public speaking but he admitted having a few butterflies at his TEDx talk.
The 15-year-old had picked a topic he was only just beginning to understand — his African and Middle Eastern heritage.
His father, Bushara Bushara, was born in Omdurman, Sudan and descends from the Arabic speaking Ja'alin tribe.
Civil war drove the family to Bahrain in 1966, when he was 2.
"I'd been wanting to know more about that side of my family," said Yusef, whose father moved here with his Bermudian wife, Anita, 25 years ago. "My father used to take trips back to Bahrain to visit family and he'd come back with trinkets and a traditional outfit called a jellabiya.
"I'd put it on, but I didn't really understand the cultural significance. It wasn't until I got older that I realised they weren't typical of the West."
He began to question his parents, and everything he thought he knew about himself.
When it came time for him to create a final project for his class at Somersfield Academy, he decided the island's first TEDx Youth event would be a great way to show off his organisational skills.
Teachers advised that he choose a subject that was important to him.
As part of his research, he and his father took a trip to Bahrain and Sudan in December.
It was Yusef's first visit to both places and his father's first trip to the North African country since his family left.
"On this trip, we spent a week with family in Bahrain, then spent a week and a half in Khartoum, Sudan, and then went back to Bahrain for a week," said Yusef.
His paternal grandparents have passed away but he has two aunts living in Sudan and numerous family members in Bahrain.
The teenager was a little surprised by how warmly his family welcomed them.
"I felt an instant connection with them," said Yusef, whose father served as translator for the Arabic-English conversations. "I loved hearing the family stories.
"If I ever go back I'd definitely like to have the Arab language in my pocket."
He was a little shocked by the level of poverty he saw in Sudan.
"I definitely didn't feel at home when we first got there," he said. "There were a lot of people there who had experienced famine.
"I never saw a computer for the whole time I was there, and they did not take debit cards. I have been fortunate to visit other countries, but this was like nothing I had experienced."
The visit helped him make sense of certain things he'd observed about his father over the years.
"When I was a child he'd often say 'halas'. When I was little, I didn't know that was Arabic but I knew he meant 'stop'. And my father loves hummus. He eats it on everything. He'll even eat chickpeas out of the can."
As he found out, this was something typical in Arab culture.
"I still have a lot more to learn," he said. "The primary takeaway for me was that my heritage, culture and identity extends beyond the confines of Bermuda.
"Bermuda doesn't limit who I am. I tell people this is my journey of self-discovery.
"There is still more I have to find out about myself. This does not now give me a holistic picture of my identity, but it definitely helps."
He hoped his talk last week Saturday at the BUEI inspired other youngsters to explore their cultural heritage.
"I didn't have an intended message, but I wanted people to understand that there is a heavy relationship between their culture and identity," he said. "If you don't already know what it is, try your best to identify it.
"The talk was far from flawless but with the amount of work, blood, sweat and tears I had to put into trying to get this event together, it was definitely one of my crowning achievements."

Music at Sharon. Annual summer concert series at the Temple of the Children of Peace at Sharon, near Newmarket, Ontario, presented 1981-90 under the auspices of the York Pioneer and Historical Society. The series was founded in 1981 by Lawrence Cherney, artistic director, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Temple, owned by the society since 1915. The Temple was an especially appropriate venue because of its strong musical tradition in the period (ca 1830-86) when David Willson and his utopian farm community of Davidites or 'Children of Peace' were active. The 1991 concerts, sponsored by the newly incorporated Musical Heritage Society of Sharon, were held at the nearby Sharon-Hope United Church, Newmarket.
During the first nine seasons, the miscellaneous concert offerings always included one or two 'heritage programs' designed to recall the repertoire and performing habits of the Children of Peace. These programs were usually researched and arranged by John Beckwith (by David Passmore in 1987; by Beckwith and Passmore in 1989). The festival committee has been chaired by Edwin J. Hunt since its inception and in the first two years included Geoffrey Payzant, who also restored the Temple's historic barrel organ.
The concerts grew in number from five in the inaugural season to fourteen in 1989, and covered a wide range of repertoire, usually tied together by program themes, eg, 'Jenny Lind and Friends' (1983), 'Don Juan and Don Quixote' (1986), an all-Schoenberg program (1988), and 'The Haydn Brothers' (1988). Much Canadian music was performed, both old and new: in 1981 Beckwith's Three Motets on Swan's 'China, ' in 1982 excerpts of tenor Canadian operettas written between 1880 and 1912, and in 1989 eight pieces from Beckwith's restoration of Quesnel'sLucas et Cécile. Music at Sharon commissioned new works by Beckwith, Phil Nimmons, Linda C. Smith, Carol Ann Weaver, Glen Buhr, Derek Holman, and many others. In 1990 the entire festival was given over to the production of Serinette, a commissioned opera by Harry Somers. Many well-known ensembles, choirs, and soloists from Canada and abroad have appeared at Sharon, including the Orford String Quartet, the English Brass Ensemble, I Musici de Montréal, the Amadeus Ensemble, the Hannaford Street Silver Band, Nexus, Tafelmusik, the Elmer Iseler Singers, the Tudor Singers, Aldo Ciccolini, Norbert Kraft, William Aide, Joel Quarrington, and James Campbell.
A commemorative album, Music at Sharon, featuring the Elmer Iseler Singers and an instrumental ensemble directed by John Beckwith, was issued to mark the occasion of the first festival (1982, Melbourne SMLP-4041/RCI 554).

Oh definitely not
I don't see what they could do without the McLaren license which as explained many times, they're extremely unlikely to be able to procure. I suppose they could add more tracks and his Toleman, but you'd think if they had that in mind it'd already be in this section, if they're keeping it chronological.

I remember reading about the Nomad Diablo in the Japanese GT3 years ago. The Licence for the car was obtained through the team and had nothing to do with JGTC or Lamborghini. It's quite possible that many of the racing cars have been obtained in a similar way.
Yes, that make sense, since there is many teams in Gran Turismo like Yellowhat, Motul, Calsonic, Opel Team Phoenix, Team Oreca + many more i can't remember right now, and of course Schulze Motorsport.

True, a one-on-one race against Senna in cars with alternate liveries and a somehow-super AI driver could have been fun.
mister dog: ↑
A race between twenty identical cars, despite my knowing that only a handful of chassis were ever built, just doesn't appeal to me.
It looks fun, but it looks like an online race, not a race for a Senna tribute event that takes itself pretty seriously.
It may well do but I spend too much time trying to keep the thing in a straight line to check.
IngRobNy: ↑
Ok, thank you for sorting this out for me.
Do you know what license they have?
NASCAR?
Japanese Touring Car Championship?
Le Mans?
American Le Mans?
FIA GT Championship?
Formula 3000?
French Supertouring Championship?
FIA WRC?
German Touring Car Championship?
Swedish Touring Car Championship?
But one thing is for sure, they have license to have japanese cars in Gran Turismo (especially Nissan)
Keep in mind that not having a licence to a series doesn't necessarily mean that the cars are off limits, depending on how strict the legislating body is with the manufacturers. There have been rally cars in the series since GT2 (GT1?), but PD didn't actually bother to get the WRC licence until GT5. They just modeled the cars exactly anyway, and merely called them "Rally Cars" rather than their actual competition names.
And the overwhelming majority of the RM cars in GT2 were somewhat contemporary (when the game first came out) race cars with a decal or two changed/removed.
Though on the other hand:
Those backroom style dealings is why the Diablo was very publicly dropped from the game when it left Japan.
I mainly noticed it on the restart screen after many failings. I also noticed the low front wing clips into the gravel trap on turn 1 after many visits into it.
I can hardly wait for this to come out.
Project Cars will be my biggest reason to buy Playstation 4, and my interest for this generation of Gran Turismo 6 and next generation Gran Turismo 7 will for always be absent.

Yup, but this is just to show an example. I agree that for tribute purposes the time trials against Senna's pole's were the best and most respectable option.

How can the RB sounds be accurate? How can the F3 & 97T be based on RB sounds? The RB cars don't exist other than in this game!
They would have used the F3 & 97T sounds as a base and modified them for the RB cars.
V6 turbo+ v6 turbo sound= accurate

I'm also a bit perplexed about the new tracks. Kaz #1 priority has always been authenticity. He has compromised everything at some point (design, feel, format, cars on track count, online, etc.) in the name of authenticity.
And track signage is an easy one to get right considering its all static assets... Look at the Le Mans track variants... Pretty minute changes but accurate. Arguably versions that aren't needed.
It makes me wonder if it was rushed due to other delays, like maybe interlagos was part of the plan, they were late, so they pulled an existing track late in the dev process.
I have a feeling we may see further improvements...
I hope so. It's certainly the biggest let down of the content.

Touché.
What is missing from these tracks? Are some corners themselves inaccurate? Buildings? What else?
75% of the people who will actually participate have already participated I think, and as fewer people take part in the event, remodeling the track becomes less and less of an economical use of their time. I can see them updating it for GT7, but I don't think they'll consider it pressing enough for them to address it in an online update.
Giygas
An all 80's sports car race on the new tracks would be pretty cool. The newer buildings do bother me though.
The tracks themselves, as in everything between the white lines, is accurate or accurate enough. Everything beyond that, including some run off areas and most kerbs, are wrong. The buildings/billboards/etc have also not been changed at all to resemble something close to how they did in the 80s. I appreciate it's impossible to get everything accurate but as mentioned previously, they could have had a go.
True, I guess it just depends on the schedule for the track artists. Who knows, maybe they only had enough time to do the course now and they have a few week planned in the future to do the rest. We'll have to wait and see. It just seems odd, as someone pointed out, for a supposed perfectionist like Kaz to allow these mixed courses in. No matter what we the player thinks to him that must not meet his standard.

I would like them to update the tracks, it's just they've never done it before....
Then again, thus are already breaking new ground with the fantastic new sound samples, producing the best v6 f1 sound I have heard in a game. Fingers crossed...
Indeed, as I say we can only wait and see. Perhaps Kaz will address it in the Q&A.
The cell phone tower at Curva Grande did kinda make me LOL when I first saw it at 80's Monza, to be honest.
In fairness they have a few cars with good sound samples, just not nearly as many as they should have. The Toyota Supra 3.0 for instance, sounds exactly the same as a real Toyota JZ engine, all the way through the rev range, right down to the wastegate noise.

The scenery doesn't bother me. As long as the new cars are quality (and I feel they are, once setup)...I expect a few things not to be perfect. Like scenery. That is the last thing I care about. The track surface and cars are good.
I haven't seen a single person bitch about the accuracy of scenery on modern tracks. No one complains about the ring, la sarthe, Monaco, etc. Food for thought.

Firstly I wish people wouldn't describe valid criticism as 'bitching' or other similar words. Secondly, the issue isn't that the scenery is a little off, as would be the case with a modern track. The problem is that the scenery is completely different compared to the 80s, as the track is named and the layout itself is from. The tracks are in some sort of strange time paradox and that is quite different from a 2013 building being too big compared to the real 2013 building or a 2013 tree being the wrong shape compared to the real 2013 tree, for example.
It's not the end of the world and i'm 'over it', we were just continuing the discussion in what had to this point been friendly and civil.

AOA Seolhyun spotted with short hair for the first time
AOA's Seolhyun has got her fans in a frenzy after appearing in a new hairstyle for a advertising campaign.
On September 26th, a post on Pann posted a screen capture of photo from G-Market's latest advertisement campaign of Seolhyun that they have found. The singer and actress was featured wearing a green top while holding a present and posed brightly in front of a mustard coloured backdrop.
What caught the attention of the netizens, however, was Seolhyun leaving her usual, long and trendy locks, for a shorter, dark brown bob.
As the photos circulated, netizens cannot help but speculate whether the hair in the photo was real or edited, and asked, "Is this real…? Is it photoshopped or not? Surprisingly it suits her really well and looks really chic and luxurious."
Although one of the top comments on the post debated that a fantaken photo of Seolhyun on the same day of the shoot stilled showed she had longer locks, some of her fans remained unsure whether or not the G-Market campaign shots really featured her new look.
Additionally, after discovering the breaking news that Seolhyun has ended her 6-month relationship with Block B's Zico, fans further speculated that the new refreshing look may be a manifestation of her desire for a change of pace.
Despite the confusion, majority of the fans approved of the shorter hairstyle and called it refreshing compared to her typical long black hair.
Aside from balancing her activities as a singer and actress, Seolhyun remains actively busy with her many advertising campaigns for Hazzys Accessories, Acuvue, SPAO, Sprite and more.

Home/Entertainment/Korea produces film on its freedom fighter Ahn Jung-geun
Korea produces film on its freedom fighter Ahn Jung-geun
In August, a novel was also published on the life and struggle of freedom fighter, and remains on the bestselling list.
Ahn shot and killed Ito Hirobumi, Japan's first prime minister and resident-general of Korea, on Oct. 26, 1909, at Harbin Station in northern China. Five months after the assassination, he was executed at the age of 31.
Monitoring Desk
The dramatic life of Korean independence fighter Ahn Jung-geun (1879-1910) never loses charm and is returning in various art forms ranging from literature, movies and musicals to touch people's hearts.
During hearings in the Japanese colonial court, Ahn claimed he was a lieutenant general of the Korean resistance army fighting for Korea's independence and should be treated as a prisoner of war by international law, not as a terrorist.
A new musical film, "Hero," based on the homegrown musical under the same title, will hit local theaters next month to share heartwarming stories of his final year.
Director Yoon Je-kyoon, who was behind two megahit films, "Haeundae" (2009) and "Ode to My Father" (2014), took the helm of the movie starring Jung Sung-hwa, who has received acclaim for his charismatic role in the original musical since its premiere in 2009.
"When I watched the musical, I cried a lot because I felt so sorry for Ahn Jung-geun," Yoon said in a press conference Monday. "I felt sorry for all independence fighters and decided to make the musical into a movie someday."
This photo shows director Yoon Je-kyoon and cast members of musical film "Hero," which is about Korean independence activist Ahn Jung-geun, during a press conference in Seoul, Nov. 21.
The story features narratives of Ahn's mother and other Korean independence activists, who joined him to cut off their left ring fingers to write "Korean independence" on the national flag with their own blood before the assassination.
Yoon said Ahn's relationship with his mother especially touched his heart, dedicating the movie to his late mother.
"If 'Ode to My Father' was a story about a father, 'Hero' is a story about a mother," Yoon said.
Jung will again star as the lead protagonist in the original musical, which is set to begin its ninth seasonal run at LG Arts Center on Dec. 21. The award-winning musical was previously staged in New York in 2011 and Harbin in 2015.
Another project currently under production is an espionage action movie based on Kim Hoon's new novel "Harbin."
Last week, director Woo Min-ho confirmed the casting of top actor Hyun Bin as Ahn, raising expectations for the blockbuster project.
Published in August, the novel clinched the top spot on local charts of major bookstores in the first several weeks and stills remains on the bestselling lists.
Kim Hoon talks about his new fiction book on the life of Korean independence fighter Ahn Jung-geun in a press conference
The 74-year-old novelist said he was "shocked" by Ahn's interrogation report he read during his college years, which contained the "motivation behind his revolution" and "passion of life."
In the fictional story, Ahn is portrayed as a young man with a youthful spirit and vitality who undergoes human suffering as the head of family and a Catholic believer.
He said Ahn's messages for peace are still relevant today amid rising tension in Northeast Asia, referring to the great power rivalry between China and the United States, nuclear-armed North Korea and Japan's push to become an assertive military power.
"I can't lock Ahn Jung-geun in his own time," Kim said during a press conference in August. "We are living in a more painful time now than the time of Ahn."

Jarrow March: Luton To London
Published by Shahdaroba Tuesday 7th February 2012
Saint Albans Cathedral"
On the 29th of, October the men left Luton and journeyed to St. Albans. St Albans is the main urban area of the City and District of St Albans, around 22 miles (35 km) north of central London. The city's one of several places that, by repute, has the most pubs per square mile in the country. It also claims to have the oldest pub in England, in which Sir Walter Raleigh is said to have stayed, named Ye Olde Fighting Cocks.
St Albans area has a long history of settlement. The Celtic Catuvellauni tribe had a settlement at Prae Hill a mile or so to the west. The Roman town of Verulamium, the second-largest town in Roman Britain after Londinium, was built alongside this in the valley of the River Vera little nearer to the present town center. The local economy is made up mainly of offices, small enterprises, retailing, and tourism-based enterprises.
The center of the city suffers significant road traffic congestion because of the city's many small surrounding streets, high car use, inadequate roads, poor take-up and provision of local public transport, to persuade motorists to drive around rather than through the center. The council estimates that 75% of traffic entering the city is through traffic. The Picture shows the Abbey Church, now St Albans Cathedral formally the Cathedral & Abbey Church of St Alban, but still known locally as The Abbey.
The Window Cleaner
As mentioned earlier Friday found the marchers entering Greater London here they would rest up overnight at Edgeware. Like a road, it runs north-west from Marble Arch, and as the A5 road, it passes underneath Marylebone Road, through Maida Vale, Kilburn, and Cricklewood (as Cricklewood Broadway). It is joined by the North Circular Road before West Hendon at Staples Corner. After this, the road continues even further north, through The Hyde, Colindale, Burnt Oak, and finally, to Edgware. The picture is of a piece of Sculpture known as "The Window Cleaner" by Allan Sly outside of the tube station.
The southernmost part of the road forms part of the London Inner Ring Road and as such is part of the boundary of the London congestion charge zone. It is principally a shopping and residential area and is known by those who regularly use the London Underground as being one of the northern termini of the Northern Line. It has a bus garage, a shopping center called The Mall, a library, a large hospital, Edgware Community Hospital, and two streams, Edgware Brook and Deans Brook, which are tributaries of the Silk Stream, which in turn merges with the River Brent at the Welsh Harp.
Finally, on the morning of Saturday the 31st October the men had reached their goal, Marble Arch, almost one month after leaving their hometown of Jarrow. There they were met by Alderman William Thompson, The Mayor, Mr. Charles Perkins, the Town Clerk, and a number of Jarrow councellors who had arrived overnight by train. Apart from a few poor days, the weather had been on the marcher's side for almost the full month. Sadly here at the end of the line, it let them down. London was in the grip of its worst downpour for months. So much so, that the men had to use their groundsheets as capes to protect themselves from the elements.
This then was the journey that has gone down in our history books. Some people are of the opinion that the march did little good. My own opinion is it gave standing to a town that had been crippled by the loss of the very industry that England had depended on. So the way I see it Jarrow had nowhere else to go but up. The townspeople did the one thing no one else had done. A march where there was no politics involved a whole community (town) was represented by 200 men whose only crime was a need to work. This then was the Jarrow March. Whatever you may make of it?
Marble Arch London
For those individuals among us who like facts and figures, the Jarrow Appeal for donations brought them £1,567. 0. 5p old English pounds shillings & pence, before decimalization. If you do have an interest in who made donations to the marchers see the bottom of the page.
I have tried to re-create what it may have been like to march 300 miles in only the clothes you stood up in. These men/women knew what hardship and deprivation were all about. My version of the Jarrow March was inspired by The Jarrow March 1936 compiled and organized by Bede Gallery (1936)/ Bede's World Jarrow. Text by: David Dougan, Photographic Interpretations by: Irene Reddish.
If you hold an interest in bygone days this book makes an emotional point and sticks to it. If you think the here and now is tough I would recommend you read this book.
It reminds me of rough justice, a blind Government, and an I'm all right jack to hell with you attitude.
As for poverty it still exists today… will it ever be stamped out. I doubt it very much, not in my lifetime anyway

11 IPhone Facts You Should Know
11 IPhone Facts You Should Know Today: Apple is one of the top smartphone producers in the world with track record of premium devices, design and features. The latest on their list is the amazing iPhone X with notch display.
But how much do you know iPhone and the company behind it - Apple Inc? This post reveals some of the unknown facts of iPhone devices and how they started. Maybe you are aware of some of these facts but I am sure there are people that this will come as a surprise to.
Even me, the first day I read about some of this facts, I was marveled and since then, I have been combing to get more information about Apple and other smartphone makers. Read below articles for the facts.
1. There Was Another iPhone Before The Apple iPhone
Before Apple launched iPhone, there was another company that had the name 'iPhone'. The company was actually known as the Cisco Systems.
In fact, they litigated Apple for naming its cell phone, 'iPhone'. The first iPhone by Cisco was a VoIP phone, which allowed users to make Skype calls without using a computer. Ultimately, both the companies reached an agreement, and have kept their rights to the name.
2. The iPhone was conceptualized in the late 1980s
Back in 1983, the developer of Apple computer, Hartmut Esslinger, idealized a landline phone that had features somewhat similar to today's iPhone and iPad with a stylus-controlled interface. Though, the design was never developed into a real Phone, it is surprising that Apple had the idea behind the iPhone many years before it was launched. Just imagine how the iPhone landscape and custom iPhone app development would look if that old prototype in 1983 had been released.
3. U2's Bono Is In Every iPhone
If you look closely to your iPhone, you'll find that the artist's icon in your Music app is originally a silhouette of Bono Vertigo – the U2 singer.
4. The App Store was the first place to download an iOS app legally
One of the most interesting facts about the Apple iPhone is that the App Store is the only place to download free or paid iOS apps legally.
5. Samsung Manufactures iPhone Processors
Now this might surprise you greatly. While it is true that Samsung and Apple are arch rivals in the smartphone field, they both are partnered with each other. Samsung has a contract with Apple to make computer chips for the iPhone.
6. 700M iPhones sold by far
In March 2017, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple has sold nearly 700 million iPhones since the first iPhone. Reports on Apple's earnings suggest that growing iPhone sales may soon touch 800 million.
7. iPhone was the Invention of the Year
Seeing the popularity of Apple iPhone, Time Magazine named it as the "Invention of the Year" in 2007. It was indeed a revolutionary development.
8. The iPhone was codenamed Purple
In the early days when the iPhone was being engineered, the nickname for the new cell phone was, "Purple". Even the iPhone section at the Apple headquarters was called "Purple Dorm" by the developers.
9. 2 Million iPhone apps
According to the reports, there are over 2 million iOS apps available in the Apple app store (as of June 2016). With this, the Apple app store is the second largest app store after Android, which has over 2.2 million apps.
10. iPhone 4 names Antenna-gate
The new metal design of iPhone 4 caused extensive problems among the users when it was found that calls were getting disconnected on holding the phone a certain way. Because of its severity, it earned the name, Antenna-gate.
11. Steve Jobs pranked with Starbucks
It was in 2007 when Apple was introduced for the first time by CEO Steve Jobs. He made a prank call to Starbucks and ordered over 4,000 lattes and cancelled it immediately. This was certainly a good thing for the barista who took that call.
Additionally, an iPhone manager will help you transfer all photos, music, contacts, and videos to PC in one click
These are some of the iPhone facts which I think you should know. Meanwhile, there are other mobile phone facts you can also check to see amazing stuffs. Click here for other phone facts.

Turkish minister likens Turkey, Iraq to adjacent stores
The West Qurna oilfield in Basra, Iraq is seen in this file photo. Iraq says ties with Turkey will go beyond energy trade. REUTERS photo
Turkey has no hidden agenda against Iraq's territorial integrity, Economy Minister Zafer Çağlayan said yesterday, adding that Turkish firms would invest in various growing sectors within the neighboring country.
Çağlayan said Turkey and Iraq were like the owners of two neighboring stores who love each other, but never buy goods from one another.
"I would like to express one thing clearly; Iraq and Turkey have been living in peace, unity and solidarity throughout history. Turkey has never had a hidden agenda against Iraq and will never have one," Çağlayan said at the opening ceremony of the Ninawa International Investment Conference, which was held in Istanbul yesterday.
"Our only hope for Iraq is to secure uniformity among the country's religious and ethnic groups. The incidents, which took place after the U.S. soldiers left the country, sadden us and we want the bloodshed to end in Iraq," he said.
Çağlayan also said more than 1,200 Turkish firms have investments in Iraq and that number will have soon increased.
Road and residential construction, irrigation projects, solid waste management, pharmaceutical, agriculture and tourism industries will be Iraq's main development areas, Çağlayan said.
Osama al-Nujaifi, Iraq's parliamentary speaker also said Turkey has the power to change Mosul's destiny given that Turkey is very advanced in the areas of industry and technology and has a strong expertise, which it can pass on to Iraq. He called on Turkish investors to invest in Ninawa, saying that it had a very strategic geopolitical location in Iraq. He said that Ninawa provided an environment with a promise for the future with its rich natural resources, labor force and strong economy.

There is a significant chance the world economy is headed for a recession in 2019, according to Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman.
Market participants are increasingly worried about the prospect of a serious economic downturn in the coming months, with a long-running U.S.-China trade war souring business and consumer sentiment.
Speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai on Sunday, Krugman expressed skepticism about this scenario.
When asked whether investors should expect to see a recession in the coming months, Krugman replied: "I think that there is a quite good chance that we will have a recession late this year (or) next year."


Co-founder of MacroBusiness Leith Van Onselen says in a resource rich country like Australia, 'the last thing you want' is to run a large migration program because it will dilute national wealth. Mr Van Onselen says the government is supporting high migration because it makes the economy appear stronger. The economist believes high migration is the primary reason Australia hasn't had an economic recession in 30 years, but says on a per capita basis, the country has suffered through three.
Appearing before a parliamentary committee in Canberra on Friday, Westpac chief executive Brian Hartzer said the there had been "a lot of recent commentary" pinning the slowdown on the "wealth effect" as house prices decline.
"There is also a suggestion that the royal commission has caused banks to tighten lending, and that this is what's driving falls in house prices," he said.
Mr Hartzer said Westpac's risk appetite hadn't changed significantly in the past 12 months and approval rates had been steady, although approvals were taking longer due to "more extensive verification" of customers' expenses.
Last financial year the bank lent more than $75 billion to homebuyers and $7.3 billion to small businesses. "The bigger issue is that not as many people — particularly investors — are applying for loans," he said.
Mr Hartzer described it as a "cyclical adjustment after six strong years of growth, that so far regulators and banks are managing reasonably well".
"Having said that, uncertainty about the future direction of regulation and government policy is having an effect on business and consumer confidence," he said.
House prices across the country fell for the 17th consecutive month in February, with Sydney and Melbourne now 13.2 per cent and 9.6 per cent from their respective peaks in July and November 2017.
Economic data released Wednesday showed Australia's growth rate slowing to 2.7 per cent in calendar 2018 and just 0.2 per cent in the December quarter.
While Australia has not had a recession — defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth — for nearly 30 years, some economists have seized on the figures to claim the country is now in "per capita recession".
When divided by head of population, Australia's GDP growth actually contracted by 0.1 per cent and 0.2 per cent in the September and December quarters.
Some experts say the figures highlight the country's over-reliance on high immigration to artificially boost economic figures while living standards go backwards.
