"The smell of smoke." The one nearest the door was saying. We both lay on a mat on the floor. A third man was cooking our midday meal in a suffocating corner of the room.
"Indeed! Don't you?" the second man was saying with relief.
The care-taker was leaning on the concrete wall, visibly shaken by the sight of the three of us in a lawless depth of the slum. A dry, gaping mouth. The cigarette stick between two fingers decomposed with a coiling smoke.
"He did not take three days after we arrived home," he was telling us.
It showed him jolly, bulging with health.
"–And his footsteps pacing the dark floor as he hurries to pass urine out in the yard," the third one said.
"I remember best the look of his face suspended, frozen somewhere abruptly by the striking lightning of death –a frozen absence." I said.
We were laughing at the cruelty of it.

I don't quite know what to make of this story; I found it a bit confusing but there's undeniable talent. I give it an 8.
I give the story a 9 (Nine).
Abenea is obviously talented at the craft. I found the story an accurate and moving commentary on the helplessness of the lives of the lowly in an unequal materialistic society.
This is a very powerful potrayal of life in the slums.The tense make an immediate happening. The first person narration gives it authenticity. I suppose the roommates are deliberately nameless and faceless; this can happen to anyone living in the slum.I give it an eight.

i give it a 9.i have read a book or two by soyinka.its not unlike one.
The lifelessness of the protagonists is brought to life by the plausible dialogue! You need not have dwelt amongst the faceless and nameless as it were to identify with the slummy reality that is our life! A 9 is sufficient.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accompanied by other Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) leaders, laid the foundation for the ruling party's new headquarters in Delhi on Thursday.
BJP national president Amit Shah was also present at the event, as the PM laid the foundation stone for the 70-room building on Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg in the national capital.
The new party office is set to be a hi-tech, eco-friendly building on an 8,000-square-metre plot with 70 per cent green area.
The new headquarters is being built barely 5 km from the party's present national headquarters, at 11 Ashoka Road in Lutyens' Delhi, which the BJP leadership feels is now inadequate for a rapidly growing organisation.
The new building is expected to be inaugurated in another two years on Atal Bihari Vajpayee's birthday — December 25.
While the party had initially prepared a plan to build a new office during Nitin Gadkari's tenure as the party chief, the leadership had rejected the first two plans.

Martin Rennie Reportedly Fired by Vancouver Whitecaps
The Vancouver Whitecaps have fired manager Martin Rennie following the 2013 Major League Soccer season, according to reports.
Marc Weber of The Province confirmed the news on Twitter:
I can confirm that Martin Rennie is out as coach but not that Yallop will be his replacement, as obvious as it seems. @aftncanada says done
— Marc Weber (@ProvinceWeber) October 29, 2013 The Whitecaps' front office wasted no time making the move, as the squad's season ended on Sunday after a 3-0 win over Colorado.
This season was Rennie's second with the club after becoming head coach in late 2011. The Whitecaps job was the first MLS gig for the 38-year-old.
Rennie significantly overhauled the roster upon his arrival, and it seemed to pay dividends early on, as the Whitecaps finished fifth in the Western Conference a year ago and were eliminated in the knockout round of the playoffs. It was the first time a Canadian team qualified f...

Cosby asks Pennsylvania top court to hear appeal
People 09 January 2020	 Hits: 637
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania--Lawyers for Bill Cosby on Thursday asked the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to hear his appeal of his 2018 sexual assault conviction, a month after a lower court rejected their argument that the disgraced comedian did not get a fair trial.
Cosby, who played a beloved father figure on the 1980s TV hit "The Cosby Show," had been found guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, a former Temple University administrator, at his Philadelphia home in 2004. With the verdict, Cosby became the first celebrity to be convicted in the #MeToo era.
The Pennsylvania court is not obligated to take up the appeal, a copy of which was provided by Cosby's spokesman. In the petition, his lawyers argue that Cosby was unfairly convicted by a jury after a judge allowed multiple women, in addition to Constand, to testify that Cosby had sexually assaulted them as well.
"The trial court's overriding concern should have been to ensure a fair proceeding on the single charged offense for which Mr. Cosby was standing trial - not to provide a platform to any and all accusers who belatedly wanted their day in court," Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt wrote in an emailed statement.
Stacey Witalec, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, confirmed that Cosby had requested an appeal, but it was not immediately clear when the court would make a decision on whether it will consider it.


Vive le choix, vive le hamburgé- Big Fernand, The French Burger Bistro, London UPDATE: Closed.
First off Happy Christmas to everyone of my readers- I hope you are having a food and booze filled break (if celebrating).
Anyhow onto the matter in hand, in my earlier years the New Year sales in London were a really big thing. Nutters (in my view) use to camp outside of the big stores days before and then there would be an unholy scrum (oldies equivalent of Black Friday) to get in the door and grab something generally not needed nor really wanted – but hey it was cheap. Never have or will understand this, but if you are up in the Big Smoke for shopping etc. up to or in the New Year and need to refuel, a burger is ideal fodder.
France is not a place I tend to associate with burgers. In fact the traditional view of France is of a Country that fiercely defends its culture against perceived Anglo – Saxon and, especially when it comes to food, US imperialism.
Such US food imperialism is perhaps epitomised by McDonald's and I certainly have an image in my mind of irate Frenchmen, wielding (in lieu of pitchforks) their beloved baguettes, marching on any accursed outlet of McDonald's with the temerity to open in France.
This is, however, a totally false perception as the French very much love a good (or even it seems a not very good one bearing in mind McDonald's popularity) burger.
Burger sales in France are rapidly approaching the levels of the iconically French " le jamon beurre" – ham filled baguette (1.19 billion as against 1.23 billion in 2015) and over 75% of all French restaurants now sell burgers and 80% of these say that a burger is their top selling dish (according to a recent report).
When it comes to McDonald's, much to my amazement, there are more branches in France than the UK and France has the third largest number of branches per capita in the world (beaten only by the US and Japan). It is fair to say, therefore, that American style burgers and, in particular, McDonald's have very much conquered France.
Out of this love of burgers has, however, come a slew of homegrown French burger joints giving a French take on le burger. Such joints include the subject of this post – Big Fernand, which has made the jump across La Marche and set up an outlet in Royaume Uni.
As part of my ongoing self appointed quest to find a favourite burger in London (ideal fodder for me as a quick bite before the train home after a meeting and great for a mid shopathon break), Big Fernand was an obvious choice.
As I have said (many may argue harped on about) previously on this blog, I am very much of the view that a burger is best served medium rare. To me the key is choice. If you want a burger nuked that may not be my preference, but if that is your choice then you should be able to have it that way.
My humble opinion is if an outlet wants to charge me a premium price for their burgers then they should have in place the necessary controls re sourcing and H&S management etc. required by the FSA to enable them to offer me the choice as to how I want my burger cooked (be it blue, rare, my preferred medium rare or otherwise).
I am aware of the risks (set out by people much more qualified than me) of less than well done burgers, but have been eating them all my life with no ill effects.
There are risks in eating unpasteurized cheese, sugar, drinking alcohol or coffee, driving a car, crossing the road and many other things I do every week (I am pretty sure shopping other than for food or wine is very bad for my health – blood pressure tends to go through the roof). Apparently around 290 people die each year from the mere act of getting/falling out of bed – yet I do that every morning (getting – rather than falling out – that is, even though some days I really wish I didn't have to).
I choose to do these things and I choose to eat medium rare burgers. All I ask from purveyors of premium priced burgers is that they follow the enhanced FSA requirements (personally think all premium priced burger places should aim to follow these), cook my burger how I want it cooked and that the end product tastes good.
On the first two, Big Fernand gets a big tick in the box so how does it shape up on the third?
Outside it is quite unassuming and you queue up to order and pay at the counter inside whether you eat in or take out.
and up a lovely wrought iron spiral stairway, by way of stark contrast, is a room that is very old fashion (they call it granny's living room).
I like that you can see them cooking the burgers etc.
They have a set of rules, which pleasingly centre on choice. Hamburgés (as they called their burgers) cooked as you like them being the central tenet.
The menu provide for a number of in-house creations (covering beef, lamb veal, chicken and veggie), as well as the option to create your own burger.
Lots of stuff is given a bit of a French twist, so the cheeses are French and unpasteurized (bien sûr) and the beef (minced in-house daily) is from Charolais cattle.
Whilst tempted by the beef based on a medium rare Le Big Fernand or a Le Bartholomé, it is a rare (medium rare of course) thing to find a veal burger in a burger joint (certainly in the UK).
Loving the sound of it, I placed my order for Le Victor (£9) – medium rare – and chips (£3) and sat down to await my food.
and took a bite. The veal patty had a lovely flavour and texture. Cooked à point for me, the patty was melt in the mouth stuff. Many may worry that the blue cheese it came with would overpower the veal, but the fourme d'ambert used here is a mild mannered blue. It had a pleasant tangy creaminess to it and the veal as a result held its own. Add to this a lightly toasted decent seeded "pain de mie" bun (interestingly, for a French place, they have not gone down the brioche route here), a good homemade mayo, sweet caramelised onions and coriander and you get a very superior burger to my mind.
In comparison the French chips/ Fernandines (curiously not French fries) did disappoint slightly. Whilst tasty enough, with paprika salt liberally sprinkled on them, they were a bit floppy and lacked the crispness of a really good chip. OK but no great shakes and pricey at £3 for not a massive portion.
On the booze front they have a selection of French beers and interesting house wines (red, white and rosé) from the Chapoutier stable (a quality producer from top to bottom) in the form of their Marius by Michel Chapoutier range. Not too badly priced at £20 a bottle (retails at around the £10 mark) and £4 a glass.
Tempted as I was by a glass of red, I had to work on the train back so no booze for me. On the soft drink front there are a couple of interesting options (and a few boring and quite expensive ones). Tap water is available and many dinners were taking this option on my visit (unsurprisingly perhaps when a 50 cl Evian is £2).
I went for the cheapish (in comparison), but dinky, lemony can (£1.50).
This worked quite well in cutting through the richness of the burger.
I rather liked Big Fernand. Anywhere that lets me decide how my patty is cooked and delivers on it, with a tasty burger or as they called it hamburgé is my kind of place.
Whilst not faultless, as it is a bit pricey (l paid £13.50 all in) and the French chips are nothing to write home about, burger wise it is up there with or close to what so far are my top London burger joints (Patty & Bun, MEATliquor/MEATmarket, Honest, Tommi's etc. – need to get around to trying Bleecker Street, Lucky Chip and Flip and Dip) and is boulevards ahead of the US imports in the form of Five Guys and Shake Shack.
I noticed a Five Guys has opened between Big Fernand and Tottenham Court Road Tube. My advice is ignore its siren call of 250,000 so called choices (but not the most important one of how you want your burger cooked) and make Big Fernand le choix.
A case of a very well done (if that is what you want) or rather "a point" burger for you whatever your preference. As the title suggests "vive le choix, vive le hamburgé".

If the above video is not displaying properly, you can watch the YouTube video tutorial here.
A multiple exposure is where you take two images on top of one another. This used to be achieved in the days of film, where you would take one picture and then instead of advancing the film strip to the next frame to take the next picture, you would simply leave the film in the same place and take another picture right on top of it. Taking or editing the shots in Black-and-White usually produces the best results because you don't have to worry about color theory or anything like that - black and white just works.
Turn on the Multiple Exposure feature on your camera.
The Multiple Exposure feature is located in different areas of the menu system for every camera - use your intuition, check your camera's instruction manual, or Google search to find where it is located.
Here is a list of cameras that a have Multiple Exposure feature.
You can scroll horizontally on that page to see all of them. Most higher end Nikon DSLRs (D300s and D800 for example) have the multiple exposure feature in the camera's menu system.
Turn Auto-Gain OFF, if possible. Auto-Gain automatically attempts to neutralize the EV, which isn't useful for the high-key nature portraits.
Put your camera in Aperture Priority Mode and then select your F Number (I used ~f/4).
Put your camera in Spot Metering Mode.
For the first shot, center the Auto-Focus Point and take a picture of yourself. The background should be as close to 100% white as reasonably possible. You can achieve a white background by having the sky fill up the background behind your head (having the sun directly behind your head and lined up with the lens will produce the best result. Light overcast days are theoretically ideal, but not necessary.) Using flashes against a white wall to create a silhouette also works.
For the second shot, bump up the Exposure Compensation to around +2 EV and take a picture of whatever you want (I like trees with leafs on them) and make sure the background is 100% white for this image as well. I would recommend experimenting and taking each shot by themselves to see which settings you need to use in order to get the background to be 100% white for each individual shot, +2EV is only an estimate and is only what I was using on that particular day, all situations are different.The key is to just get the background to be white and not gray - use whatever settings necessary.
After you have taken two shots, they will automatically stack and should show up in your LCD screen (you can't retrieve the original individual images if using a Nikon DSLR). You can then continue to take more and more double exposures until you get a really good one - I took dozens if not ~100. Some cameras automatically turn off the multiple exposure feature after you have taken one multiple exposure - if you find that this is the case for your camera, simply turn the multiple exposure feature back on before you take your next set. The Nikon D800 has an option to leave the multiple exposure function on all the time, making things a little faster. The D300s does not.
Create a new Photoshop document and drag and drop 2 images into the Photoshop document so the two images show up in the bottom right in the Layers Palette as 2 layers.
Select the top layer, and then select "Screen" for its blending mode. You also can try experimenting with "Multiply" (The Multiply blending mode will darken instead of lighten).
(Optional) You can Dodge Highlights by using the Dodge tool to whiten up anything that didn't turn out to be 100% white.
(Optional) You can adjust the Curves of the image by raising the left-most lower point upwards vertically a little bit, and/or the right-most upper point down vertically a little bit; You can apply the same adjustments to individual color channels in the same Curves adjustment window as well (Red, Blue, Green).
File > Save As 8-Bit JPEG.
After you have created your images, post them in the PhotoExtremist Flickr Group or the PhotoExtremist Facebook Page! Be sure to tag them with "multiple exposure" and/or "double exposure" so we know what we are looking at and can search for them in the future!
If you enjoyed this video and article on multiple exposures, I highly recommend my e-book and video series Trick Photography and Special Effects which has over 300 e-book pages and 9 hours of instructional video content focusing solely on universal creative photography and Photoshop techniques just like this one.
Thanks so much Evan…you do ROCK !!!!!
ur explanation r very easy and excellent.I like ur ideas nd creations.Im daily learning new ideas from ur tutorial.thanks EVAN…..
Evan you are a freakin genius!!! I have learned a good bit from your tutorials. Never stop doing what you are doing.
I like to disseminate understanding that will I've accrued with the year to assist enhance team efficiency.
Bought the ebook but it only has 192 pages instead of 300 and only 3.75 hours of video instead of 9 hours. Emailed several times and got no response.
These multiple exposure photos are great. Think there is an inbuilt function in the 5D mk3 which lets you do this without photoshop.
Mark, it sounds like you purchased a pirated/bootleg copy of the course from of a different website other than my own. I was able to take down one of these product listings recently.
The only official place where you can exclusively purchase the actual, original, authentic ebook and videos is at the main domain: TrickPhotographyBook.com – any other site that has their own buy button is not an authentic site.
I like this guy. I do not own his book but i like his enthusiasm about photography. I also like his CAN DO attitude on how to make creative photos on a budget.
ur tutoris has me lyk oOOoooO wow!!11!!!11!!
This tutorial very helpful for beginners photographers.
Brought book last year but now can't find it. Can you send me link so I can sign on.
I bought your ebook a couple of years ago and saved it in iBooks. However, it is gone, disappeared, vanished.
Can I re-download it, or should we have to buy it again?
The creative concept like something different.

Aigua mineral és una categoria d'aigua que es caracteritza per una presència important de substàncies minerals i altres substàncies amb efectes particulars que n'alteren el gust o li donen un valor terapèutic i que cal que disposin d'una autorització específica de l'Administració pública per a ser considerades oficialment com a tals.

Per a aconseguir l'autorització que permet l'envasat i venda d'aigües minerals s'han de complir normes estrictes de qualitat química (a la pràctica amb anàlisis continus).

Tradicionalment les aigües minerals es consumien al lloc d'origen en l'activitat anomenada prendre les aigües, com ja feien els pobles antics com ara els romans a les "caldes" o als banys públics. Els balnearis actuals continuen amb aquesta activitat, que ha tingut una revifada després d'una certa davallada amb l'avenç de la medicina.

En els temps moderns és més comú embotellar l'aigua i distribuir-la per al consum privat. A nivell de distribució mundial es poden trobar unes 3.000 marques d'aigua mineral envasada.

L'aigua mineral natural és una aigua d'origen subterrani i protegida de qualsevol contaminació. Les seves característiques químiques han d'ésser estables. Les seves propietats beneficioses per a la salut les ha de tenir de manera natural (no pas afegides). Aquestes aigües contenen sals minerals, com ara clorurs, bicarbonats, sulfats o altres de sodi, calci, magnesi, etc. Algunes d'aquestes aigües també contenen sals de ferro o sulfur d'hidrogen (que els dona una olor desagradable). Durant anys s'ha atribuït propietats curatives al consum d'aquestes aigües, però està en discussió si això té fonament científic.

No és aigua potable en el sentit reglamentari, ja que sovint conté substàncies minerals en quantitats massa elevades per a poder ser aigua de consum exclusiu. De tota manera només determinades aigües minerals naturals ultrapassen els criteris de potabilitat; per exemple, a França, de 74 aigües minerals naturals analitzades per l'Administració, 24 superaven el contingut d'arsènic establert per a l'aigua potable.

L'aigua minero-medicinal és aquella d'origen natural, utilitzada en terapèutica i amb propietats terapèutiques conegudes i aprovades.
Les sals, els compostos sulfurosos i el gas es troben entre les substàncies que poden estar dissoltes en l'aigua. Sovint l'aigua mineral pot ser efervescent. L'aigua mineral pròpiament dita no pot ser preparada, sinó que ha de ser obtinguda de fonts naturals. És declarada d'utilitat pública.

Legislació espanyola
El codi alimentari espanyol classifica les begudes d'aigua envasada en:
 Mineromedicinals. (han d'ésser declarades d'utilitat pública)
 Minerals naturals. (han d'ésser declarades d'utilitat pública)
 De font. (subterrànies sense tractaments però no són minerals)
 Potables preparades.(sotmeses a tractaments fisicoquímics autoritzats; no són minerals, però es poden vendre envasades)
 De consum públic (no són minerals i no es venen envasades).

Contingut mineral
Amb caràcter general, com més minerals conté l'aigua més dura es diu que és; l'aigua amb pocs minerals, en canvi, es diu que és tova.

La FDA dels Estats Units classifica com a aigua mineral la que, entre altres requisits, conté com a mínim 250 parts per milió de sòlids dissolts totals.

El contingut més o menys elevat de minerals no defineix ell sol una aigua mineral. Hi ha aigües minerals que tenen una mineralització més feble que l'aigua potable de l'aixeta. Així, el que defineix l'aigua mineral és el seu origen subterrani, la seva composició estable i l'absència de qualsevol tractament de desinfecció. Atenent al seu contingut mineral, a Espanya una aigua envasada pot utilitzar aquestes mencions:

 De mineralització molt dèbil: Fins a 50 mg/l de residu sec.
 Oligometàl·lica o de mineralització dèbil: De 50 a 500 mg/l de residu sec.
 De mineralització mitjana: De 500 a 1.500 mg/l de residu sec.
 De mineralització forta: Més de 1.500 mg/l de residu sec.
 Bicarbonatada: Més de 600 mg/l de bicarbonats.
 Sulfatada: Més de 200 mg/l de sulfats.
 Clorurada: Més de 200 mg/l de clorurs.
 Càlcica: Més de 150 mg/l de calci.
 Magnèsica: Més de 50 mg/l de magnesi.
 Fluorada: Més d'1 mg/l de fluor.
 Ferruginosa: Més d'1 mg/l de ferro bivalent.
 Acidulada: Més de 250 mg/l de CO₂ lliure
 Sòdica: Més de 200 mg/l de sodi.
 Indicada per a dietes pobres en sodi: Fins a 20 mg/l de sodi.
 Indicada per a la preparació d'aliments infantils.
 Pot tenir efectes laxants.
 Pot ser diürètica.

Alguns efectes atribuïts
 Les aigües bicarbonatades es diu que tenen un efecte neutralitzant de la secreció gàstrica i estimulen la digestió.
 Les aigües amb poc sodi sembla que beneficien les persones amb hipertensió arterial, problemes cardíacs, litiasi, afeccions renals o alteracions associades a la retenció de líquids.
 Les aigües de mineralització dèbil es creu que afavoreixen la funció renal; a més es poden fer servir per a l'elaboració de preparats alimentaris infantils.

Bill Gates spurns conspiracy he wants vaccine to give people microchips
by Amy B. Taylor | Jul 23, 2020 | Business News
Bill Gates has rejected a conspiracy theory that he wants a mass vaccination against the coronavirus so he can inject people with microchips.
When asked on CBS News if it was true, he said: "No. There's no connection between any of these vaccines and any tracking type thing at all. I don't know where that came from."
There is no evidence connecting Gates to microchips, but several viral articles have made the claims. A May poll also found 44% of Republicans believe the conspiracy theory.
Gates said some of the theories are "deeply ironic" given his work to promote global health and reduce global deaths and poverty.
In June, he said it was "almost hard to deny" the conspiracy theories surrounding him and vaccines "because it's so stupid."
Bill Gates has shot down a conspiracy theory that he wants a mass coronavirus vaccine developed so he can use it to plant microchips in people.
The billionaire made the remarks in a Wednesday interview with "CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell," where he was asked about the coronavirus pandemic and vaccine development, as well as the unsubstantiated theory about Gates' motive for wanting a vaccine.
Noting that conspiracy theories have spread about Gates during the pandemic, O'Donnell said: "The posts on social media about you and coronavirus are considered the most widespread coronavirus falsehoods that exist."
She asked: "To be clear, do you want a vaccine so that you can implant microchips into people?"
Gates shook his head and responded: "No. There's no connection between any of these vaccines and any tracking type thing at all. I don't know where that came from."

O'Donnell then pointed to the results of a May 2020 poll run by YouGov and Yahoo News, which found that 44% of Republicans, 19% of Democrats, and 24% of independents believed that Gates wanted to use mass vaccination to give people tracking implants.
CBS News aired a graphic showing the results of a May poll that asked people about Bill Gates, vaccines, and microchips.

O'Donnell asked: "How did this conspiracy start?"
Gates replied: "I don't know," noting that he and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have been among the most-discussed people during the pandemic.
He also said some of the theories are "deeply ironic," given his work to promote global health.
The Microsoft cofounder has in recent years become a leader in the public health space, having creating the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation with his wife. The organization aims to improve global health and reduce poverty, and had promoted vaccine research and access long before the current coronavirus pandemic.
The foundation is helping support the creation of vaccines against COVID-19, which experts say are very likely necessary before the world can return to normal.
Gates has also warned about pandemics and urged world leaders to take action to prepare for years before the current outbreak.
Gates on CBS News on Wednesday.
He said on Wednesday: "Our foundation is about reducing death and bringing equity to health," but some people still get "the idea that we get accused of creating chips or the virus."
"I think we just need to get the truth out there, we need to explain our values, so tht people understood why we're involved in this work and why we're willing to put hundreds or billions to accelerate the progress," he said.
Ultimately, about the microchip theory, he said: "It's a little unclear to me, but I hope it will die down as people get the facts."
'So stupid'
The BBC investigated the theory in late May, but said that it "found no evidence to support these claims."
It pointed to statements made by Gates in March as a possible spark for the rumor, when he said that at some point "we will have some digital certificates" to show who had been tested for, recovered from, and vaccinated against the coronavirus.
A popular article on Facebook, which propagated the conspiracy theory, referred to a study funded by the Gates Foundation into the possibility of a special link — like an invisible tattoo — that could record testing and virus information on people without using any tracking or databases. This technology has not been rolled out at all.
Neither Gates nor his foundation has ever mentioned microchips, however. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also told the BBC that the rumor was "false".
Gates said in June that it was "almost hard to deny" the conspiracy theories surrounding him and vaccines "because it's so stupid."
"I've never been involved any sort of microchip-type thing," he said, adding: "It's almost hard to deny this stuff because it's so stupid or strange."

In the CBS interview, O'Donnell said Facebook has not removed a popular article substantiating the rumor about Gates and microchips. It is not clear if she was talking about the same one the BBC reported.
She asked Gates if Facebook had a "responsibility" to do more to combat such misinformation.
Gates replied: "They are willing to get rid of anti-vaccination messages that are false there, so there's a constant dialog about how do they make sure that these completely false things don't get out there."
"You don't want to suppress normal dialog about safety studies, but the conspiracy theories, they are starting to step up on, and we feel like we have a good dialogue with them about how to do that."

Target Center renovations get bogged down in details
By Kevin Reichard on November 29, 2012 in Basketball, NBA
A planned Target Center renovation is seemingly on hold while the city, the Minnesota Timberwolves (NBA) and building manager AEG debate the outlines of the deal.
Background: when the Minnesota Legislature approved a funding plan for a new Minnesota Vikings stadium, Minneapolis officials included a $150-million renovation of the arena. As far as NBA arenas go, Target Center is pretty bland; it was built on the cheap, and most of the seating is situated in the upper bowl.
Since the legislative approval, the city has sought to downscale the renovation and is now talking about a $100-million makeover, but still wants the Timberwolves to contribute $50 million. That's not sitting too well with T-Wolves officials, and that reticence has the lead city official lamenting the lack of a deal. From the Star Tribune:
"We've said that we need to have significant private contribution in order for us to do this renovation," Hanson Willis said after a meeting of the committee. "And we don't yet have confirmation about to what degree the private sector is going to contribute to this."
Of course, the meeting Willis refers to is only the second time the city committee has met, which makes things still on the preliminary side. But the conflict is clear: if the renovation was downsized, then the Timberwolves want to pay less, but it's not clear how much less. Another issue: the T-Wolves and AEG still need to come to an agreement on who pays what on their side of the ledger. Given AEG's status as a company on the block, officials there may not want to burden any potential new owner with a large investment in Target Center.
This isn't an insurmountable issue, and there's plenty of time to work out a deal: the latest schedule from AECOM and Mortenson Construction has work on the project beginning on May 10, 2013.

Sara Gunnarsdottir at Olympique Lyon 2019/20 – scout report
In one of the more surprising moves of the current transfer window, Olympique Lyon Feminin have opted to bring in Wolfsburg lynchpin Sara Bjork Gunnarsdottir in what seems like a bold move. The serial winners are not resting on their laurels and are rectifying the mistakes past champions and winners have made by not adequately reinforcing their team to create a competitive atmosphere. The move to bring in Gunnarsdottir to challenge two of the best defensive midfielders in Amandine Henry and Saki Kumagai does just that. So, the question remains, what does Gunnarsdottir bring to Lyon and does she start over one of the existing midfielders?
Through this scout report, I will be detailing the tactical intricacies and ideologies of Lyon's midfield and how Gunnarsdottir fits in.
Sara Gunnarsdottir is a 29-year-old Icelandic midfielder who till recently plied her trade in Germany with VFL Wolfsburg where she spent four years. Naturally a defensive midfielder, Gunnarsdottir is a gifted player who can operate from box-to-box with an all-around ability to make an impact in both boxes. The defensive midfielder's main attributes include her passing and tactical intelligence which contribute towards her vision, defensive capabilities, and goal-scoring threat. Being at the base of midfield means Gunnarsdottir is responsible for build-up and screening the defence which is an important aspect of Wolfsburg play. In 63 appearances for the German champions, Gunnarsdottir has scored 12 goals, a good return for a player in her position. To further emphasise her goal-scoring exploits, she scored 34 goals in 110 appearances for FC Rosengard. It is not uncommon to see Gunnarsdottir make bursts forward into the 18-yard box to get on the end of passing moves and switch gears to get back and cover for counter-attacks. Now through this tactical analysis, I will explore these skills and analyse them further breaking it up into her attacking, defensive, and transition phase.
Defensive phase
Gunnarsdottir defensive style of play was more based on her work off the ball than on it. Gunnarsdottir relies on her excellent positioning and proactiveness to thwart any dangerous attacks Wolfsburg faced. Wolfsburg operate using three active formations including the 4-2-3-1 (39%), 4-4-2 (34%), and 4-3-3 (16%), in each of these formations Gunnarsdottir will occupy one of the holding midfield roles with a license to roam between both boxes. Her role is to disrupt, intercept, and dictate possession for Wolfsburg and prevent teams from getting into their 18-yard box.
Because of her box-to-box style and Wolfsburg's possession dominant nature, Gunnarsdottir doesn't engage in many defensive duels but rather anticipates her opposition's intention and move to block passing lanes and force them into what she wants them to do, especially in the defensive third. Gunnarsdottir isn't the best tackler and if she doesn't have support near her, players can seemingly get past her. Sometimes when she aggressively goes in, players with quick feet often get the ball away. Where she does excel is when Gunnarsdottir gauges her surroundings and adjusts her position accordingly to prevent players from advancing without getting in too close. This sort of anticipation is extremely useful and makes up a strong part of the defensive midfielder's repertoire.
Analysing Gunnarsdottir's heat map above, we can see that while there is a major activity in the forward areas, she is equally present in the defensive third showing her box-to-box role. Not many teams will trouble Wolfsburg for possession but they must be wary of counter-attacking teams and turnovers in midfield. This is where Gunnarsdottir's defensive role comes into play. Gunnarsdottir's defensive duels/90 is indicative of this with 4.75 with a 53% success rate.
If we take a closer look at this example, Freiburg are counter-attacking Wolfsburg with Gunnarsdottir the closest one to the attacker in the previous frame. Here the Icelandic midfielder manages to catch up and starts to get around her to try and shepherd her away from the goal to wait for support. We can see that Gunnarsdottir isn't pressing up against the player but rather keeping some distance to apply just enough pressure to control her actions.
Just to further emphasize the correlation between Gunnarsdottir's higher positioning and Wolfsburg's higher possession, the above positions map from Wolfsburg's game against Essen illustrates this. Gunnarsdottir (#7) was playing as the deepest lying midfielder yet her average position is above the halfway line. It shows Wolfsburg's dominance which is something mirrored in Lyon's play too. In this case, Gunnarsdottir should be able to slot into the side easily.
Transitional & attacking phase
Playing in such an attacking team in Wolfsburg, Gunnarsdottir's main role was to provide balance alongside Claudia Neto. However, Gunnarsdottir was also a prevalent presence in the attacking third through her transitional and attacking play. In this section, I will discuss the role the Icelandic midfielder played in the final third of Wolfsburg's team and how this translates into Lyon's. More than attacking, Gunnarsdottir is much more involved in the transitional phase with her attacking contributions more about supporting the forward line.
Wolfsburg play a very attacking lineup and operate in an almost 3-1-6 formation where the attacking talents would overwhelm opposing defences. One of Neto or Gunnarsdottir will join the attack with Gunnarsdottir a player who would both link play outside the 18-yard box and make off the ball runs into the box. Her attacking style may not seem very potent but her whole game is predicated on finding spaces between lines and making runs into the box. During build-up, Gunnarsdottir can at times be seen dropping in to support her central defenders in receiving passes to bypass higher pressing from opposing players.
The two phases intertwine as she combines her passing and defending ability to transitions from one third to another after which she attempts to make runs forward to make herself available in space. The data gives us an insight into her influence going forward. She averaged 9.09 forward passes/90 (81% success rate) and has 3.16 touches in the box/90 which is quite high for a defensive midfielder. The standout statistic here is the higher touches in the box, which illustrates Gunnarsdottir's forward movement and presence, especially from a deeper position. Most of these passes are quite simple, but important because it keeps Wolfsburg ticking and allows the more creative players to move into position. Gunnarsdottir joins the attack by placing herself in the 18-yard box ready to pounce on any opportunities presented to her.
We can see an example of this in the game against Freiburg in the Frauen-Bundesliga. Gunnarsdottir is positioned high and once the ball is passed out wide she starts stepping away from the two opposing players. At this point, she already knows she wants to attack the vacant space.
Gunnarsdottir capitalised on the distraction of the two Freiburg defenders and manages to time her run and get ahead of them. Gunnarsdottir showcased her tactical intelligence here where she has created an extra yard and second to collect the ball and pick out one of her teammates in the middle. Her positioning and timing is what makes her such a dangerous asset in the final third and helps to breakdown resolute defences. Similar to Wolfsburg, Lyon also face stubborn defences where they rely on lots of movement from their attackers.
Here we can see Gunnarsdottir retreating to prevent Freiburg's attack. In this case, the ball carrier doesn't have too many options except to make a short pass to her left or attempt a forward dribble. Gunnarsdottir game intelligence comes on display here where she anticipates the likely pass into the highlighted player and starts stepping forward to intercept the pass which results in a turnover for Wolfsburg. What makes Gunnarsdottir so good in these situations is her ability to either win possession and initiate a counter-attack or force the opposition into making a mistake in which her teammates are able to take the ball forward.
How does Sara Gunnarsdottir fit into Olympique Lyon?
To complete this analysis, the biggest question everyone has is how does Jean-Luc Vasseur fit in three world-class defensive midfielders into his tactics that currently uses two? Well, I think we need to see the shape of the squad and analyse two points, the first is to look at squad depth to see the options available and secondly, what she offers in place of either Henry or Kumagai.
Looking at make up of the squad, we can see that Lyon do not have enough strength in quality depth in the middle of the park. Offensively, Lyon have a number of options off the bench in Shanice van de Sanden and Delphine Cascarino who can come on, on top of the starting trio of Majri, Nikita Parris, and Eugenie Le Sommer. Defensively, Wendie Renard, Kadeisha Buchanan, and Griedge Mbock Bathy are three solid central defenders and arguably where Lyon have most quality is at full-back. Lucy Bronze, Alex Greenwood, Sakina Karchaoui, and Ellie Carpenter are four high-quality full-backs with Majri able to drop into left-back if needed. However, in central defensive midfield, they lack any real quality outside of Henry and Kumagai, with Dzenifer Marozsan able to play there but is realistically an attacking midfielder. So, the move for Gunnarsdottir makes sense from a squad depth perspective allowing Vasseur to rest one of his two-star midfielders.
Defensively, Lyon's defensive structure is based around movement and positional rotations across their midfield and wide defenders. They often use a 4-2-3-1 system where Gunnarsdottir would play in the double pivot alongside one of Henry or Kumagai. Lyon's defensive line is higher up meaning they try to win the ball back in midfield. They employ a midfield press that heavily includes the full-backs. So Gunnarsdottir will have support in midfield and the centre-backs behind her to ensure maximum safety. Usually Bronze will drive inside to stop the midfielders from progressing the ball, whilst the left-back will ensure the centre-backs are not outnumbered and cover the area behind their position.
The constant rotations and movement from the other players around the double-pivot will help Gunnarsdottir carry out a similar to what she occupied at Wolfsburg. Kumagai and Henry will often patrol the midfield area to cover spaces and prevent opposing teams from easy passing lanes and ways through and having one of them next to Gunnarsdottir can ensure solidarity. Gunnarsdottir is an excellent player who allows the more creative, attacking players to thrive in the system by simultaneously assisting them in the final third. I also believe Gunnardottir could do even better in a midfield three to be given the freedom to be even more aggressive from deep to force mistakes and allow the other players to attack.
Their roles are to almost play box-to-box roles when one pushes up the other sits just behind offering protection to such a high line while the other uses their passing to affect the final third. Gunnarsdottir can easily slot into the defensive role. The graphic above dictates Lyon players' positions and how they set up. In this game against Stade de Reims, we can see both Kumagai (#5) and Henry (#6) are in similar positions to Wolfsburg's players in the earlier graphic, which helps Gunnarsdottir's development.
When it comes to transitions and taking the ball into the opposition half, we will start by taking a closer look at Wolfsburg's recoveries, where we can see they have a consistent spread of tackles across the pitch in the final third which shows how active they are in this area of the pitch. If we look at Lyon's recovery map, we can see the similarities in the areas of recovery but more importantly the number of recoveries made in the final third. Lyon are very active in the final third with Amel Majri, Kumagai, and Henry making the three highest recoveries in the sample size given. Gunnarsdottir averaged 8.54 recoveries/90 with 64.8% made in the opposition half which shows she can slot into Lyon's system and replace either Kumagai or Henry in this capacity.
15.1% of Lyon's ball recoveries occur in central midfield, only right midfield has more with 15.3% which shows that most of the action happens there. Kumagai has made 59 recoveries in 359 minutes of play, which shows how important the central midfielders are to Lyon's system of winning the ball back and attacking. I don't think Gunnarsdottir will attack as much at Lyon rather she'll sit outside the 18-yard box and offer a passing option with Henry being more aggressive with threatening passes and crosses into the box.
I've analysed Gunnarsdottir's statistics against Kumagai and Henry to see where she thrives in comparison to her new teammates. This graphic is split between attacking, defensive, and transitional data. Starting with the defensive data, we can see Kumagai is much more prevalent here specifically in defensive duels, interceptions, and recoveries. Gunnarsdottir seems to less frequently engage in a defensive capacity.
From an offensive perspective, Gunnarsdottir has the most touches in the box illustrating her attacking capabilities through runs into the box. Henry is the most attacking player of the three and a combination of the two in midfield could be a tactical option against teams with a low block that requires the extra support in and around the 18-yard box.
Lastly, in the transition phase, we once again see Henry as the clear winner in this regard although Gunnarsdottir isn't too far behind. Given that the French international is widely considered the top central midfielder in the world, this comes to no surprise. However, what is clear to see is Gunnarsdottir is a sort of a hybrid of Kumagai and Henry. Without being a specialist in either phase of play, Gunnarsdottir will bring her own qualities to midfield and because of this becomes a good option to partner with either Kumagai and Henry. This is also another reason I believe Gunnarsdottir could thrive in a three-man midfield. If she can combine the attacking and creative efficiency of Henry and defensive awareness of Kumagai, Lyon could have an impenetrable midfield being able to cover and attack in numbers whilst always having a player left over to protect the defensive line.
Gunnarsdottir represents yet another indication that Lyon are preparing for life without some of their biggest stars. Adding in more competition to a winning squad is only healthy and will keep the current starters driven to continuously prove their worth. With Paris Saint-Germain strengthening this summer and the English clubs (Chelsea, and Manchester City) all boosting their ranks, Lyon will need to be on their heels for next season's UEFA Champions League. Gunnarsdottir, Carpenter, and Karchaoui are three excellent editions, however, Gunnarsdottir is just the player to keep Henry and Kumagai at their absolute best whilst giving Lyon much needed quality depth in the position.

AirAsia outlines 'Amazon of travel' ambitions
Asia (general region)
AirAsia's plans to become the "Amazon of online travel" may be ambitious but they are "very doable", according to the company's deputy CEO of technology and digital.
Speaking at the Skift Forum Asia in Singapore, Aireen Omar explained that the company's confidence stems from the deep store of data which it has amassed over many years of operating flights across Southeast Asia.
The low-cost carrier has been focusing much of its attention on "building new business areas that will complement the core business" of flying, in moves that will see AirAsia become more of a data-driven company.
"There's a lot more we can do, as opposed to just flying people around. We have so much data – we started carrying about close to a hundred million passengers this year in Southeast Asia itself," Omar said, adding that visitor traffic to the AirAsia website is "about 60 million a market" of which half are unique.
Omar is convinced the company has what it takes to reinvent itself as a digital business, nearly two decades after being the first in the region to issue airline e-tickets. In February, it opened a technology centre in Bengaluru – often referred to as 'India's Silicon Valley' – to streamline its digital assets and create new products and enhancements for the company.
But beyond providing services as a commercial airline, the company has its eye on the wider ecosystem of travel such as logistics and retail. (For more, read WARC's report: AirAsia eyes 'Amazon of travel' opportunity as it invites others into its ecosystem.)
Teleport, AirAsia's cross-border cargo and logistics business has since expanded beyond AirAsia's own network. In February, the company signed an interline agreement with Air New Zealand.
Then there is BigPay, AirAsia's mobile payment platform which Omar described as "a digital bank" and revolving around the three key areas of a peer-to-peer digital wallet, foreign exchange, and lending.
These new ventures are all in line with the company's mission to build out an ecosystem that can "leverage each other very well in upsell across different platforms" on AirAsia.
"It is no longer about the aircraft but the data, and there are a lot of new business opportunities we can build around it," said Omar. "We want to work these assets more."

In his Life of , Plutarch revealed contrasting views of slaves. When slaves were lashed with a whip they were suspended with a weight tied to their feet, that they might not move them or thrash about. There were also many cases of poor people selling their children to richer neighbors as slaves in times of hardship. Regarded as no more than a commodity, any good treatment a slave received was largely only to preserve their value as a worker and as an asset in the case of future sale. Homes of Roman slaves Slaves in ancient Rome rarely, if ever, had separate quarters to live. For the ancients, however, slavery was part of the everyday landscape, a completely recognized social institution smoothly integrated into the overall social fabric.

Legal Rights of a Slave: Roman law declared slaves as the personal property of their masters and did not accord them any legal rights. Multitudes of slaves who found their way to Italy were purchased by wealthy landowners in need of large numbers of slaves to labor on their estates.

Epitaphs record at least 55 different jobs a household slave might have, including barber, butler, cook, hairdresser, handmaid ancilla , wash their master's clothes, or , teacher, secretary, seamstress, accountant, and physician. Roman Slaves clothing Just like the everyday lives of slaves in ancient Rome, their clothing also varied according to the jobs they did. At the height of the Roman Empire, it is estimated that nearly 40% of the population of Italy consisted of slaves. These were the Executive branch, legislative branch, and the judicial branch.
They were quite simply the property of a roman master and as such subject to crucifixion if the penalty merited it. The deliberate breaking of the joints or bones was also a punishment inflicted on runaway slaves. They generally fought one another, and were rarely, if ever, matched with wild animals, despite what you may have seen in the movies. Stevenson argues that eunuchs increased in importance from the second to fourth centuries A. But everyone knew that the leveling of the was temporary and had limits; no social norms were ultimately threatened, because the holiday would end. So, then, the chief slave came in to announce the time of dinner and to summon the masters to the table. Some historians have written of brutal treatment meted out to the slaves by their masters.
. Murison starts by summarizing the ancient sources on Nerva and quotes the odd piece of Nervan legislation opposing Emperor Claudius-style marriage to certain nieces Agrippina, in Claudius' case and castration. For the Romans, there were not many of these to choose from, and they were not widely used. The skin of the back was ripped to the bone from scourging. On the whole, the lives of Roman slaves, especially the urban … ones, was much easier than the lives of slaves in other cultures. They might work on public building projects, for a government official, or in the emperor's mines.
Which of these reasons would have been the most common? From a distance, this gave the impression that the army was larger and better organized than it actually was. Slaves could also be enterprising, put money aside and purchase property in view of their future freedom which would normally happen at around the age of 30 even though by-and-large the majority would remain tied to their owners as clients and even carry their name. During the , a public slave could be freed by a magistrate's declaration, with the prior authorization of the ; in the , liberty would be granted by the. Example: If Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus freed Gaulus, Gaulus would be known as Gnaeus Pompeius Gaulus. Slaves of Greek origin in particular might be highly educated. However, Christianity did not bring an end to slavery. All human beings are born free liberi under natural law, but slavery was held to be a practice common to all nations, who might then have specific civil laws pertaining to slaves.
This was a far less dangerous operation than cutting Although not all scholars appear to agree, Walter Stevenson argues that the castrati were a totally different category from the above all types of spadones. State-Owned Slaves Greek slaves were sometimes owned by the state: Some types of work included: a notary, a coin tester, or even the public executioner - and it is precisely because no Athenian would want to perform this type of work. Among the , for instance, the slave class of outnumbered the free by about seven to one, according to. Informal manumission gave fewer rights. Although the economy was dependent on slavery, Rome was not the most slave-dependent culture in history. Another torture supported by Nero involved the accused digging his own grave. The bees were quickly angered, and the person inside the basket was then.
The problem became less and less acute when slave labour begun to replace the nexus on the estates. There appears to be no evidence that the crowd signified their request for the life of the combatants by holding their thumbs up—or at least if it was used, it probably meant death, not mercy. However, victors received laurels, monetary payment, and any donations from the crowd. A wealthy Roman would buy a slave in a market place. Some freedmen became very powerful.

Thanks guys. I've ordered a fuel pump housing so hoping that will make a difference. If it doesn't then I'll be getting a swirl pot. I've also just bought and fitted some 'anti-surge' top cover gaskets for the DHLA's, anyone know anything about those? Described as 'for motorsport use', but can't find much info about them. Reebmit - Do you run a return line from the swirl pot to the tank?


Anas Sarwar has won backing to succeed Kezia Dugdale from former Scottish leader Iain Gray as well as a host of key MPs and MSPs.
Ian Murray, Edinburgh South MP, has backed the Glaswegian Sarwar's campaign, and half of Labour's MSPs have given their support. Catherine Stihler, MEP for Scotland and St Andrews University rector, joins them.
Sarwar, the former MP for Glasgow Central and Scottish Labour lead on health policy, launched his campaign yesterday to replace Dugdale as leader. He has previously served as deputy leader.
He said: "I am humbled to have received support from so many colleagues in such a short space of time.
"Labour is revitalised in Scotland and we need a united party in Holyrood that is fighting the SNP and ready to form Scotland's next government. And we need a united Labour Party working together across the UK to elect Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister.
