#1254619: Two Romanians convicted for roles in Bayrob malware operation
Two Romanian nationals were convicted in an Ohio federal court on Thursday for their roles in the Bayrob group, an organization that launched a multi-million-dollar cybercriminal operation fueled by its own proprietary malware.
Bogdan Nicolescu, 36, and Radu Miclaus, 37, were found guilty on separate 21 counts for developing and spreading the Bayrob trojan, which allowed them to steal payment card information from infected victims to sell on the dark web, as well as mine cryptocurrency using their machines' processing power.
Charges included conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to traffic in counterfeit service marks, aggravated identity theft, conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud.
A Department of Justice press release says that Nicolescu, Miclaus and a third co-conspirator created the malware back in 2007 and subsequently infected victims with it via phishing campaigns featuring emails, with malicious attachments, that purported to be from Western Union, Norton AntiVirus (Symantec) and the IRS. The third co-conspirator, Tiberiu Danet, previously pleaded guilty last November.
The scheme allowed the Bayrob operators to compromise more than 400,000 computers, most of them based in the U.S. The men stole email contacts, personal information (including user names and passwords) and payment card data from these machines, while also disabling their anti-malware protections and blocking access to law enforcement websites. They also forced the compromised computers to register AOL email accounts, which they leveraged to send malspam to additional recipients, whose email addresses came from the stolen contact lists.
The Bayrob group even knew when infected users visited websites like Facebook, PayPal and eBay, and in response would redirect them to fraudulent copycat websites where victims would give away their account credentials.
In other cases, the cybercriminals injected fake pages into legitimate websites, in order to fool visitors with phony instructions.
"They placed more than 1,000 fraudulent listings for automobiles, motorcycles and other high-priced goods on eBay and similar auction sites. Photos of the items were infected with malware, which redirected computers that clicked on the image to fictitious webpages designed by the defendants to resemble legitimate eBay pages," the DOJ release states. "These fictitious webpages prompted users to pay for their goods through a nonexistent 'eBay Escrow Agent' who was simply a person hired by the defendants. Users paid for the goods to the fraudulent escrow agents, who in turn wired the money to others in Eastern Europe, who in turn gave it to the defendants. The payers/victims never received the items and never got their money back."
Symantec has previously reported that the Bayrob group may have stolen as much as $35 million from its victims. Sentencing will take place on Aug. 14.

ArcelorMittal today published its Corporate Responsibility (CR) report for the 2011 financial year, detailing recent progress made by the world's largest steel and mining company against its responsible business and sustainable growth plans.
Highlights of this latest CR Report include:
A fourth successive year of improvement in ArcelorMittal's health and safety record: Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate falling to 1.42 days per million hours worked, a 20% reduction compared to 2010
The roll-out of s-in motion - ArcelorMittal's catalogue of steel solutions for the automotive industry that has the potential to deliver a 15 per cent reduction in emissions while the vehicle is being made, and a further 13.5 per cent while it is being driven
Investment of $306 million into researching and developing new products to support a low carbon world and an investment of $329 million into environmental capital expenditure
A reduction in its CO2 output per tonne of steel, down to 2.09 tonnes from 2.15 tonnes in 2010, moving towards our target of an 8% reduction by 2020 against a 2007 baseline
In 2011, the first global health week was held with over 103,000 employees and contractors participating in activities. In addition, in 2011, over 147,000 employees were trained on the human rights policy
"ArcelorMittal's status as the world's leading steel and mining company is a source of intense pride, both personally and for our employees," comments Lakshmi N. Mittal, Chairman and CEO, ArcelorMittal. "With industry leadership comes responsibility, however – responsibility to our employees and contractors; to our shareholders and customers; to the environment; and, not least, to the communities in which we operate. I hope the 2011 CR Report demonstrates that we are delivering against this responsibility by making tangible progress against key targets, particularly in the all-important area of health and safety," he adds.
Other key elements of ArcelorMittal's CR performance in 2011 include commissioning Deloitte to provide assurance over the report and conduct the first-ever external verification of the Group's CO2 footprint, providing a benchmark against which to measure emissions performance in future years. 98 per cent of the company's steel operations have now been certified against the ISO 14001 international standard for environmental management systems, up from 95 per cent in 2010.
This year also saw ArcelorMittal's CR reporting improve to level B+ in the application of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3.1 guidelines, due to increased disclosures.
2011 is also the year that ArcelorMittal Orbit rose from the ground at the heart of the London 2012 Olympic Park. This striking 114.5 metre 'living sculpture' that will be formally unveiled this week, is a demonstration of the strength and versatility of steel. The steel is sourced from ArcelorMittal plants from around the world with 57 per cent coming from recycled sources. Steel is the world's most recycled and recyclable material and, as the world's largest steel producer, in 2011 ArcelorMittal saved approximately 40 million tonnes of CO2 through the re-use of more than 30 million tonnes of scrap.
ArcelorMittal has been a member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) since January 2009 and is an active participant in the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). The company is also a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and a member of the CSR Europe network.

Q: SQL Server Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint I have 2 tables with same columns each one of the tables on different DB on the same server.
Table A it's exists but I don't created the table and the columns:

*

*test1 varchar(10) not null

*test2 varchar(5) not null

*test3 varchar(5) not null

Table B:
CREATE TABLE B
(
     test1 as test2 + test3 PERSISTED NOT NULL,
     test2 varchar NOT NULL,
     test3 varchar NOT NULL

     PRIMARY KEY(test1)
);

I write query that update or insert rows with merge:
MERGE B AS TARGET
USING A AS SOURCE
ON (TARGET.test1 = SOURCE.test1)

WHEN MATCHED AND (TARGET.test2 <> SOURCE.test2 OR TARGET.test3 <> SOURCE.test3
   THEN
      UPDATE SET TARGET.test2 = SOURCE.test2,
                 TARGET.test3 = SOURCE.test3

WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
    INSERT (test2, test3)
    VALUES (SOURCE.test2, SOURCE.test3);
GO

The first time that I run the query, it works perfectly, but the second time around, I get an error:

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__getSuppl__FCACF30EF3C2476C'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'table B'. The duplicate key value is (test2+test3).

Why?
My goal is compare each row from table A and if the row exist in B and one of the columns without test1 is different then update else insert from table A to B.
Thanks

A: First, in SQL Server, you should never use varchar (and related types) without a length.  Do you realize that varchar -- in this context -- only allows one character?  If that is what you want, be explicit and use varchar(1).
You would get the behavior if you have data in Table A that looks like:
test1   test2    test3
  C       A        B

The first time through the merge, the test1 will not match (assuming no C in the second table).  The first time through, the code adds the row:
 AB       A        B

It still doesn't match C, so you will attempt to add it again.  But, this will violate your primary key constraint.  So, the insert fails.
You have a data problem.

A: Reason:
There are some data in table A that test1 <> test2+test3. Such data will cause the error mentioned;
And more than that, such "wrong" data may also generate "logically wrong" data in table B;
For example:
CREATE TABLE A
(
     test1 varchar(10) NOT NULL,
     test2 varchar(10) NOT NULL,
     test3 varchar(10) NOT NULL
     PRIMARY KEY(test1)
);
CREATE TABLE B
(
     test1 as test2 + test3 PERSISTED NOT NULL,
     test2 varchar(10) NOT NULL,
     test3 varchar(10) NOT NULL
     PRIMARY KEY(test1)
);
insert into A values ('AB', 'A', 'C');
insert into B values ('A', 'B');
insert into A values ('ABB', 'A', 'BC');

Issue 1: row ('ABB', 'A', 'BC') will cause the SQL error;
Issue 2: row ('AB', 'A', 'C') in table A will override existing row ('A', 'B') in table B;
Solution:
You might want to eliminate the "wrong" data from source (table A), for example:
MERGE B AS TARGET
USING A AS SOURCE
ON (TARGET.test1 = SOURCE.test1 AND SOURCE.test1 = SOURCE.test2 + SOURCE.test3 )

WHEN MATCHED AND (TARGET.test2 <> SOURCE.test2 OR TARGET.test3 <> SOURCE.test3)
   THEN
      UPDATE SET TARGET.test2 = SOURCE.test2,
                 TARGET.test3 = SOURCE.test3

WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET AND (SOURCE.test1 = SOURCE.test2 + SOURCE.test3) THEN
    INSERT (test2, test3)
    VALUES (SOURCE.test2, SOURCE.test3);
GO

Hope it helps.


Out of a seemingly innocent question comes the dark shadow of the cross: Jesus must teach his disciples that to be the "Anointed One", "the Christ", means to follow the path of sacrifice to the very end. He is not a King who comes with armies, but a King who comes with truth and humility, prepared to die for that truth about God's Kingdom. But the mourning is always to be seen in the light of Easter – "being raised on the third day", when "a fountain will be opened", the fountain of Baptism and eternal life in the death and resurrection of the Lord.
will have the light of life.
Prayer of the Faithful: R/. Lord, be our help.

Raiders can't be feeling good about their Josh McDaniels hire
Over the first two months of the NFL season, no coach has gotten ripped more than Nathaniel Hackett of the Denver Broncos. Not even Matt Rhule, and the Carolina Panthers already fired him.
Well, let's take a look at the bottom of the AFC West standings after Week 8, shall we?
Hackett's Denver Broncos: 3-5
Josh McDaniels' Las Vegas Raiders: 2-5
Maybe we need to shift at least some of the Hackett jokes and slander to McDaniels, who is having a bad time of it so far in his second go-around as a head coach. If we go by record, Hackett has been better than McDaniels this season. You just haven't heard as much about how bad McDaniels has been.
The Raiders were listless on Sunday in a 24-0 loss against a New Orleans Saints team that came in with a 2-5 record and was without receivers Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry and standout cornerback Marshon Lattimore. The Raiders trailed 17-0 at halftime and showed no signs of life. Derek Carr had 43 yards passing in the first half against a Saints defense that has struggled most of the season. Just to show the first half was no fluke, the Raiders came out flat in the second half and immediately gave up a long touchdown to Alvin Kamara. Carr took a ton of punishment and was replaced in the fourth quarter. It's not like it was a competitive game.
The Raiders shouldn't be 2-5. They were a 10-win playoff team last season, and then added Davante Adams in the offseason. Maybe the Raiders should have just kept Rich Bisaccia. Bisaccia had five losses in 12 games as the Raiders' interim coach last season. McDaniels has five in his first seven. The Raiders were a bit lucky last season and a bit unlucky this season. But some of the Raiders' bad luck this season is their record in close games, and some of that is coaching.
NFL owners just couldn't give up the idea of McDaniels being a great head coach. They didn't quit on him after he absolutely bombed with the Broncos many years ago. They didn't cross him off the list after he told the Indianapolis Colts he'd take their job but backed out before he got on the plane for his introductory news conference. Everyone ignored that practically all Bill Belichick assistants have failed as head coaches, and McDaniels had already failed once.
Raiders owner Mark Davis wanted him, and along with new GM Dave Ziegler he turned the Raiders into Patriots West. It could work out. McDaniels is a smart offensive mind, even if Carr is having a much worse season than last year despite the addition of Adams. It takes any new regime some time to find the right pieces to fit exactly what they want to do. But so far, it looks no better than McDaniels' time in Denver. The Raiders have been one of the NFL's most disappointing teams, and Sunday's fiasco in New Orleans should bring attention to that fact.
McDaniels won his first six games as a head coach back in 2009 with Denver. He is 7-22 as a head coach since.
Carr was supposed to be better with McDaniels, the offensive mastermind. He is not. The Raiders had a chance to build off of last season's playoff berth. They have not. Las Vegas should have a lot of hope going forward with a new coach who was hailed as a genius for so many years.
They should not. Not yet anyway.

Here are the rest of the winners and losers from Week 8 of the NFL season:
Bill Belichick: Everyone who wrote off Belichick this week had to know they were just setting up the punchline for Sunday, right?
The Patriots looked bad in a Monday night loss to the Chicago Bears, but it really isn't like Belichick forgot how to coach. He was going to eat Zach Wilson's lunch in Week 8. Everyone knew that, or should have.
The Patriots beat the Jets 22-17 on Sunday. Belichick passed George Halas with his 325th win, counting playoffs, and is now alone in second place on the all-time list. Wilson got a lot of empty calorie yards but he also threw three interceptions that turned the game. The Patriots offense still isn't fixed, and might not be this season, but New England is more than capable of winning games.
It's an annual event in the NFL when the Patriots lose a game or two and everyone piles on Belichick. Then the next game he puts on a clinic. It's predictable by now.
A.J. Brown and Howie Roseman: Again now, why did the Tennessee Titans trade Brown away?
The simple answer is that they completely misread the exploding receiver market, but the other answer is they screwed up. Brown is having a great season and had another big day on Sunday. He had three touchdowns and the Philadelphia Eagles improved to 7-0 with a 35-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Brown had 156 yards in the win. He has helped transform the Eagles from a good team to the best in the NFC. The Titans are doing pretty well this season too. But they'd be a lot better with Brown in the lineup. Ask Philadelphia.
The 6-1 Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings don't always look pretty doing it, but they're winning.
The Vikings put another win on the board and a little more space between them and the Green Bay Packers with a 34-28 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. They held on for three different drives in the final eight minutes with an eight-point lead, getting an interception, a fourth-down stop and a couple sacks that led to the clock running out.
Is Minnesota really one of the five best teams in the NFL? Maybe not. But it doesn't matter all that much. They're winning, which is something most of the rest of the NFC can't say. They're now comfortably ahead of the Packers, who were 3-4 coming into Week 8, and that's more than enough good news for the first half of the season.
Dan Campbell: It just keeps getting worse for the 2022 Detroit Lions, and at some point Campbell's job security is going to come into question.
The Lions twice had a 14-point lead against the Miami Dolphins, and didn't even hold that lead into the fourth quarter. The Dolphins, who are 5-0 in games in which Tua Tagovailoa starts and finishes, came back to beat the Lions 31-27. The Lions had a shot to take the lead late, but a fourth-and-one pass was incomplete and that was it.
The Lions seem to be the type of team that folds quickly when there's any adversity. It has happened a few times this season. Campbell's rah-rah persona should help prevent that, but it hasn't yet. The Lions just keep losing, and a season that had some promise before it started has been a nightmare. The Lions went 3-13-1 last season. They're 1-6 this season. We'll have to start asking how many wins Campbell needs to collect to feel safe for 2023.
Dallas Cowboys deniers: A popular conversation recently has centered on who is the fourth-best team in the NFL after the Bills, Eagles and Chiefs, or the second-best team in the NFC.
It's amazing how many people don't want to say the Cowboys.
Dallas is 6-2 and by now, you need to let go its poor offseason or ugly Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cowboys are good. Really good.
Dallas demolished the Chicago Bears on Sunday, 49-29. Tony Pollard had a massive game in place of injured Ezekiel Elliott. He had 147 total yards and three touchdowns. Micah Parsons scored a touchdown after he recovered a fumble and Bears quarterback Justin Fields did the high hurdles over him to avoid touching him down. Maybe the defense could have been better Sunday but that's overthinking it. The Cowboys had another dominant win.
People might want to claim the Giants, Bengals or some other random team is the fourth-best in the NFL, but that means they haven't paid enough attention to the Cowboys.
Trevor Lawrence: At some point, Urban Meyer doesn't fit in the conversation about Lawrence anymore.
Yes, Meyer was a disaster last season and it didn't help Lawrence in his rookie season. But Meyer didn't throw an inexcusable goal-line interception to Justin Simmons on Sunday in London. It wasn't Meyer who, with the game on the line with 1:43 left against the Denver Broncos, immediately threw an inaccurate pass that was picked off to practically end a 21-17 loss to the Broncos.
Lawrence was supposed to be a star for the Jaguars (2-6). Yet, 25 starts into his career, he's used as a high-end game manager. He had 133 yards passing in Sunday's loss. The Broncos' defense is very good. But Lawrence was supposed to be too. And he just isn't, at least not yet. We have to quit blaming Meyer for that.


I want to share my script using Biopython to clean sequences up. You should know that analyzing poor data takes CPU time and interpreting the results from poor data takes people time, so it's always important to make a preprocessing.
Let me call my script as "Sequence_cleaner" and the big idea is to remove duplicate sequences, remove too short sequences (the user defines the minimum length) and remove sequences which have too many unknown nucleotides (N) (the user defines the % of N it allows ) and in the end the user can choose if he/she wants to have a file as output or print the result.

A surrender of the official Imperial position so unexpected and so
contrary to the intentions of the Colonial Office, as that which Bagot
had made, provoked a natural reaction. Bagot's successor was one of
those men of principle who are continually revealing the flaws and
limitations implicit in their principles by earnest over-insistence on
them. It is unfortunate that Sir Charles Metcalfe should appear in
Canadian history as the man whose errors almost precipitated another
rebellion, for among his predecessors and successors few have equalled
him, none has outstripped him, in public virtue or experience. He had
earned, throughout thirty-seven years in India, a reputation for
efficiency in every kind of administrative work. As a lad of little
more than twenty he had negotiated with Ranjit Singh the treaty which,
for a generation, kept Sikhs and British at peace. In the {159}
residency at Hyderabad he had fought, in the face of the
governor-general's displeasure, a hard but ultimately successful battle
for incorrupt administration. After Bentinck had resigned, Metcalfe
had been appointed acting governor-general, and he might have risen
even higher, had not the courageous act, by which he freed the press in
India from its earlier disabilities, set the East India Company
authorities against him. He was something more than what Macaulay
called him--"the ablest civil servant I ever knew in India"; his
faculty for recommending himself to Anglo-Indian society on its lighter
side, and the princely generosity which bound his friends to him by a
curious union of reverence and affection, combined with his genius for
administration to make him an unusual and outstanding figure in that
generation of the company officials in India. Led by the sense of duty
which ever dominated him, he had passed from retirement in England to
reconcile the warring elements in Jamaica to each other; and his
success there had been as great as in India. In English politics, in
which he had naturally played little part, he identified himself with
the more liberal wing of the Whigs, although his long absence from the
centre of affairs, and the inclination natural to {160} an
administrator, to think of liberalism rather as a thing of deeds and
acts than of opinion, gave whatever radicalism he may have professed a
bureaucratic character. He described himself not inaptly to a friend
thus: "A man who is for the abolition of the corn laws, Vote by Ballot,
Extension of the Suffrage, Amelioration of the Poor-laws for the
benefit of the poor, equal rights to all sects of Christians in matters
of religion, and equal rights to all men in civil matters...; and (who)
at the same time, is totally disqualified to be a demagogue--shrinks
like a sensitive plant from public meetings; and cannot bear to be
drawn from close retirement, except by what comes in the shape of real
or fancied duty to his country."[1] Outside of the greater figures of
the time, he was one of the first citizens of the Empire, and Bagot, as
he thought of possible successors, only dismissed the suggestion of
Metcalfe's appointment because it seemed too good news to be true.
Nevertheless Sir Charles Metcalfe had one great initial disadvantage
for work in Canada. Distinguished as were his virtues, a very little
discernment in the home government might have discovered the obstacles
which must meet an absolutely efficient, {161} liberal administrator in
a country where democracy, the only possible principle of government
for Canada, was still in its crude and repulsive stage. The
delimitation of the frontier between Imperial control and Canadian
self-government required a subtler and more flexible mind than
Metcalfe's, and a longer practice than his in the ways of popular
assemblies. Between March, 1843, when he assumed office, and the end
of 1845, when he returned to die in England, Metcalfe's entire energy
was spent in grappling with the problem of holding the balance level
between local autonomy and British supremacy. His real contribution to
the question was, in a sense, the confusion and failure with which his
career ended; for his serious practical logic reduced to an absurdity,
as nothing else could have done, the position stated so firmly by
Russell in 1839.
Sir Charles Metcalfe came to Canada at a moment when responsible
government in its most extended interpretation seemed to have
triumphed. In Upper and Lower Canada the reforming party had accepted
Bagot's action as the concession of their principle, and the two chief
ministers, Baldwin and La Fontaine, were men resolute to endure no
diminution of their share of responsibility. Bagot's {162} illness had
given additional strength to their authority, and Gibbon Wakefield, who
was then a member of Assembly, believed that Baldwin had already taken
too great a share of responsibility to be willing to occupy a secondary
place under an energetic governor.[2] Indeed an unwillingness to allow
the governor-general his former unlimited initiative becomes henceforth
a mark of the leaders of the Reformers, and La Fontaine, who had
resented Sydenham's activity as much as his anti-nationalist policy,
protested against the suggestion that Charles Buller should be sent to
Canada, because he "apprehended that Buller would be disposed to take
an active part himself in our politics."[3] There seemed to be no
obstacle in the way of a complete victory for reforming principles.
The French remained as solidly as ever a unit, and under La Fontaine
they were certain to continue to place their solidarity at the disposal
of the Upper Canada reformers. The latter, ultras and moderates
alike, were too adequately represented, in all their shades and
aspects, in the cabinet, to be willing to shake its power; and {163}
the sympathetic co-operation between Irishmen in Canada, and those who
at that time in Ireland were beginning another great democratic
agitation, made the stream of Hibernian immigration a means of
reinforcing the Canadian progressives. One of the best evidences of
the growth of Reform was the persistent agitation of the Civil List
question. Following up their action under Bagot, the reformers
demanded the concession of a completer control than they seemed then to
possess over their own finances, and a more economical administration
of them. The inspector-general, in a report characterized by all his
admirable clearness, stated the issue thus: "It is impossible for any
government to support a Civil List to which objections are raised, and
with justice, by the people at large; first, on the ground that its
establishment was a violation of their constitutional rights; second,
that the services provided for are more than ought to be placed on the
permanent Civil List; third, on the ground that the salaries provided
are higher than the province can afford to pay with a due regard to the
public interests, and more especially to the maintenance of the public
credit."[4]
Metcalfe, then, found in Canada a ministry not far from being
unanimous, supported by a union of French and British reformers; and he
ought to have realized how deeply the extended view of self-government
had affected the minds of all, so that only by a serious struggle could
Sydenham's position of 1839 be recovered. But Metcalfe was an
Anglo-Indian, trained in the school of politics most directly opposed
to the democratic ways of North America. He was entirely new to
Canadian conditions; and one may watch him studying them
conscientiously, but making just those mistakes, which a clever
examination candidate would perpetrate, were he to be asked of a sudden
to turn his studies to practical account. The very robustness of his
sense of duty led him naturally to the two most contentious questions
in the field--those which concerned the responsibility of the colonial
executive government, and the place of party in dictating to the
governor-general his policy and the use to be made of his patronage.
His study of Sydenham's despatches revealed to him the contradiction
between that statesman's resolute proclamation of Russell's doctrine,
and the course of practical surrender which his actions seemed to have
followed in 1841. "In adopting {165} the very form and practice of the
Home Government, by which the principal ministers of the Crown form a
Cabinet, acknowledged by the nation as the executive administration,
and themselves acknowledging responsibility to Parliament, he rendered
it inevitable that the council here should obtain and ascribe to
themselves, in at least some degree, the character of a cabinet of
ministers."[5] In a later despatch, Metcalfe attempted to demonstrate
the inapplicability of such a form of government to a colony: "a system
of government which, however suitable it may be in an independent
state, or in a country where it is qualified by the presence of a
Sovereign and a powerful aristocracy, and by many circumstances in
correspondence with which it has grown up and been gradually formed,
does not appear to be well adapted for a colony, or for a country in
which those qualifying circumstances do not exist, and in which there
has not been that gradual progress, which tends to smooth away the
difficulties, otherwise sure to follow the confounding of the
legislative and executive powers, and the inconsistency of the practice
with the theory of the Constitution."[6]
To his mind, what Durham had advocated was infinitely sounder--"that
all officers of the government except the governor and his secretary
should be responsible to the united Legislature; and that the governor
should carry on his government by heads of departments, in whom the
United Legislature repose confidence.... The general responsibility of
heads of departments, acting under the orders of the Governor, each
distinctly in his own department, might exist without the destruction
of the former authority of her Majesty's Government."[7] So set was he
in his opposition to cabinet government on British lines in Canada,
that he prophesied separation as the obvious consequence of concession.
It was natural that one so distrustful of cabinet machinery in a colony
should altogether fail to see the place of party. It must always be
remembered that party, in Canada, had few of those sanctions of
manners, tradition, and national service, which had given Burke his
soundest arguments, when he wrote the apologetic of the eighteenth
century Whigs. Personal and sometimes corrupt interests, petty ideas,
ignoble quarrels, a flavour of pretentiousness which came from the
misapplication of British terms, and a {167} lack of political
good-manners--in such guise did party present itself to the British
politician on his arrival in British North America. Metcalfe, from his
previous experience, had come to identify party divisions with
factiousness, a political evil which the efficient governor must seek
to extirpate. His triumph in Jamaica had secured the death of party
through the benevolent despotism of the governor, and there can be no
doubt that he hoped in Canada to perform a precisely similar task.
"The course which I intend to pursue with regard to all parties," he
wrote to Stanley in April, 1843, "is to treat all alike, and to make no
distinctions, as far as depends on my personal conduct." But since
parties did exist, and were unlikely to cease to exist, the
governor-general's distaste for party in theory merely forced him to
become in practice the unconscious leader of the Canadian
conservatives, who, under men like MacNab and the leaders of the Orange
Lodges, differed only from other parties in the loudness of their
loyalist professions, and the paucity of their supporters among the
people. Metcalfe complained that at times the whole colony must be
regarded as a party opposed to her Majesty's Government.[8] He might
have {168} seen that what he deplored proceeded naturally from the
identification of himself with the smallest and least representative
group of party politicians in the colony.
The radical opposition between the governor and the coalition which his
executive council represented led naturally to the crisis of November
26th, 1843. For months the feeling of mutual alienation had been
growing. On several occasions, more notably in the appointment to the
speakership of the legislative council, and in one to a vacant
clerkship of the peace, the governor's use of patronage had caused
offence to his ministers; and, towards the end of November, the entire
Cabinet, with the exception of Daly, whose nickname "the perpetual
secretary" betokened that he was either above party feeling or beneath
it, handed in their resignations. The motives of their action became,
as will be shown, the subject of violent controversy; but the statement
of Sir Charles Metcalfe seems in itself the fairest and most probable
account of what took place. "On Friday, Mr. La Fontaine and Mr.
Baldwin came to the Government House, and after some irrelevant matters
of business, and preliminary remarks as to the course of their
proceedings, demanded of {169} the Governor-general that he should
agree to make no appointment, and no offer of an appointment, without
previously taking the advice of the Council; that the lists of
candidates should in every instance be laid before the Council; that
they should recommend any others at discretion; and that the
Governor-general in deciding, after taking their advice, shall not make
any appointment prejudicial to their influence."[9]
At a slightly later date the ministers attributed their resignation to
a serious difference between themselves and the governor-general on the
theory of responsible government. To that statement Metcalfe took
serious exception, but he admitted that "in the course of the
conversations which both on Friday and Saturday followed the explicit
demand made by the Council regarding the patronage of the Crown, that
demand being based on the construction put by some of the gentlemen on
the meaning of responsible government, different opinions were elicited
on the abstract theory of that still undefined question as applicable
to a colony."[10] There can be no doubt that the casus belli was an
absolute assertion of the right of the council to control patronage,
but it is, at the same time, {170} perfectly clear that in the opinion
of the ministers the disposal of patronage formed part of the system of
responsible government, and that they were quite explicit to Metcalfe
in their statements on that point. The incident, striking enough in
itself, gave occasion for an extraordinary outburst of pamphleteering;
and the reckless or incompetent statements of men on either side make
it necessary to dispel one or two illusions created by the partizan
excitement of the time. On the side of the council, Hincks, the
inspector-general, then and afterwards contended that the incident was
only an occasion and a pretext; that Stanley had sent Metcalfe out to
wreck the system of responsible government, so far conceded by Sydenham
and Bagot; and that the episode of 1843 was part of a deeper plot to
check the growth of Canadian freedom.[11] Apart from the absurdities
contained in Hincks' statement of the case, the only answer which need
be made to the charge is that, if Stanley could have descended to such
ignoble plotting, Metcalfe was the last man in the world to act as his
dishonoured instrument. On the other side, Gibbon Wakefield believed
that {171} the council chose the occasion to escape from a defeat
otherwise inevitable, in the hope that a renewed agitation for
responsible government might reinstate them in public favour. As
Metcalfe gave the suggestion some authority by accepting it
provisionally in a despatch,[12] the details of Wakefield's charge may
be given. The ministry, he held, had been steadily weakening. Two
bills, advocated by them, had been abandoned owing to the opposition of
their followers. The French solidarity had begun to break up, and La
Fontaine had found in Viger a rival in the affections of his adherents.
The ministers, intoxicated by the possession of a little brief
authority, had offended the sense of the House by their arrogance; and
the debates concerning the change of the seat of government from
Kingston to Montreal had been a cause of stumbling to many. With their
authority weakened in the House, doubtful in the country, and more than
doubtful with the governor-general, the resignation of the ministers,
in Wakefield's view of the case, "upon a ground which was sure to
obtain for them much popular sympathy, was about the most politic of
their ministerial acts."[13]
But the ministry possessed and continued to possess a great
parliamentary majority; and a dissolution could not in any way have
improved their position. Besides this, the alienation of the
councillors from the governor-general had developed far more deeply
than was generally supposed; indeed it is difficult to see how common
action between the opposing interests could have continued with any
real benefit to the public. On May 23rd, that is six months before the
resignation, Captain Higginson, the Governor's civil secretary, had an
interview with La Fontaine, to ascertain his views on the appointment
of a provincial aide-de-camp, and on general topics. The accuracy of
Higginson's precis of the conversation was challenged by La Fontaine,
but its terms seem moderate and probable, and do not misrepresent the
actual position of the Executive Council in 1843--a determined
opposition to the governor-general's attempt to destroy government by
party: "Mr. La Fontaine said, 'Your attempts to carry on the government
on principles of conciliation must fail. Responsible government has
been conceded, and when we lose our majority we are prepared to retire;
to strengthen us we must have the entire confidence of the
Governor-general exhibited most {173} unequivocally--and also his
patronage--to be bestowed exclusively on our political adherents. We
feel that His Excellency has kept aloof from us. The opposition
pronounce that his sentiments are with them. There must be some acts
of his, some public declaration in favour of responsible government,
and of confidence in the Cabinet, to convince them of their error.
This has been studiously avoided.'"[14] The truth is that the ministry
felt the want of confidence, which, on the governor's own confession,
existed in his mind towards them. Believing, too, as all of them did
more or less, in party, they must already have learned the views of
Metcalfe on that subject, and they suspected him of taking counsel with
the conservatives, whom Metcalfe declared to be the only true friends
to Britain in Canada. Matters of patronage Metcalfe had determined, as
far as possible, to free from party dictation; and so he and his
ministers naturally fell out on the most obvious issue which their
mutual differences could have raised. There was nothing disingenuous
in the popular party claiming that the patronage question stood in this
case for the broader issue. Indeed Metcalfe's own statement that "he
objected to the {174} exclusive distribution of patronage with party
views and maintained the principle that office ought, in every
instance, to be given to the man best qualified to render efficient
service to the State" was actually a challenge to the predominance of
the party-cabinet system, which no constitutionalist could have allowed
to pass in silence. Egerton Ryerson, to whom in this instance the
maxim about the cobbler sticking to his last is applicable, erected a
ridiculous defence for Metcalfe, holding that "according to British
practice, the councillors ought to have resigned on what Metcalfe had
done, and not on what he would not promise to do. If the Crown
intended to do just as they desired the governor-general to do, still
the promise ought not to be given, nor ought it to have been asked.
The moment a man promises to do a thing he ceases to be as free as he
was before he made the promise."[15] The actual struggle lay between
two schools directly opposed in their interpretation of responsible
government; and since Sir Charles Metcalfe definitely and avowedly set
himself against cabinet government, the party system, and the place of
party in allocating patronage, the ministers were not free to allow him
to {175} appoint men at his own discretion. For the sake of a theory
of government for which many of them had already sacrificed much, they
were bound to defend what their opponents called the discreditable
cause of party patronage.
The line of action which the members of council followed had already
been sketched out by Robert Baldwin in his encounter with Sydenham. In
the debate of June 18th, 1841, Baldwin had admitted that should the
representative of the Crown be unwilling to accept the advice offered
to him by his council, it would be impossible by any direct means to
force that advice upon him. But he also held that this did not relieve
the members of council for a moment from the fulfilment of an
imperative duty. "If their advice," he said, "were accepted--well and
good. If not, their course would be to tender their resignations."[16]
This indeed was battle a outrance between two conflicting theories of
government. Russell, Sydenham, and Metcalfe, had refused to admit
self-government beyond a certain limit, and Metcalfe, in accepting the
situation created by the resignation of his ministers, was battling
very directly for his view. On the other side, Baldwin and the {176}
colonial politicians had claimed autonomy as far as it might be granted
within the empire. By resigning their offices, they called on their
opponents to make the alternative system work. For two years Metcalfe
occupied himself with the task they set him.
It is not necessary to enter into all the details of those years. The
relevant facts group themselves round three centres of interest--the
painful efforts put forth by Metcalfe to build up a new council, the
general election through which he sought to find a party for his
ministers, and the attitude of the colony towards the new ministers,
and of both toward the representative of the Crown on the eve of his
departure for England in 1845.
The struggle to reconstruct the ministry was peculiarly distressing,
and ended in a very qualified success. Daly, Metcalfe's one remaining
councillor, carried no weight in the country. Baldwin and his group
could not be approached; and Harrison, the most moderate of the
reformers, had previously resigned over the question of the removal of
the seat of government from Kingston. In Lower Canada, Metcalfe found
himself almost as much the object of French hatred as Sydenham had
been, and it was with great difficulty that he {177} secured Viger to
represent the French Canadians in his council--at the expense of
Viger's influence among his compatriots.[17] By the end of 1843,
Metcalfe had secured the services of three men, "Viger representing the
French party, and Mr. Daly and Mr. Draper representing in some degree
as to each both the British and moderate Reform parties."[18]
Officious supporters, of whom Egerton Ryerson was chief, did their best
to introduce to the governor competent outsiders, and Draper used his
reputation for moderation in the effort to secure suitable candidates.
Even after the election of 1844 was over, Draper, and Caron, the
Speaker in the Upper House, actually attempted an intrigue with La
Fontaine; and although the episode brought little credit to any of the
parties concerned, La Fontaine at least recognized how much was
involved in acceptance or rejection of the proposals of
government--when he said: "If under the system of accepting office at
any price, there are persons, who, for a personal and momentary
advantage, do not fear to break the only bond which constitutes our
strength, union among ourselves, I do not wish to be, and I never will
be, of the {178} number."[19] Eventually a patchwork ministry was
constructed, but its pitiable weakness proved how difficult it was to
create a council, except along orthodox British party lines. It was a
reductio ad absurdum of the eclectic principle of cabinet building.
The reconstruction of the council involved a dissolution of Parliament.
The late councillors had a steady and decisive majority in the existing
Assembly; and the governor-general found it necessary to face the risk
of an appeal to the country. The fate of Lower Canada he could imagine
beforehand; nothing but accident could prevent the return of an
overwhelming majority against his men. Even among the western British
settlers an unprejudiced observer reported early in 1844 that more than
nine-tenths of the western voters were supporters of the late Executive
Council.[20] Montreal, which, thanks to Sydenham's manoeuvres, counted
among the British seats, returned an opponent of the new Ministers at a
bye-election in April, 1844, although the {179} government party
explained away the defeat by stories of Irish violence. But Metcalfe's
extraordinary persistence, and his belief that the battle was really
one for the continuance of the British connection, gave him and his
supporters renewed vigour, and, even to-day, the election of November,
1844, is remembered as one of the fiercest in the history of the
colony. Politics in Canada still recognized force as one of the
natural, if not quite legitimate, elements in the situation, and it was
eminently characteristic of local conditions that, early in his term of
office, Metcalfe should have reported that meetings had been held near
Kingston at which large numbers of persons attended armed with
bludgeons, and, in some cases, with firearms.[21] Montreal, with all
its possibilities of conflict, and with its reputation for disorder to
maintain, led the-way in election riots. In April, 1844, according to
the loyalists, the reformers had won through the use of Irish labourers
brought in from the Lachine canal. However that may be, the military
had been called in, and at least one death had resulted from the
confused rioting of the day.[22] In November, the loyalists in their
turn organized {180} a counter demonstration, and the success of the
loyal party was not altogether disconnected with physical force.[23]
From the west came similar stories of violence and trickery. In the
West Riding of Halton, the Tories were said to have delayed voting,
which seemed to be setting against them, by various stratagems,
including the swearing in of old grey-headed men as of 21 years of age,
and among the accusations made by the defeated candidate was one that
certain deputy returning officers had allowed seven women to vote for
the sitting member.[24] On the whole the election went in favour of
the governor-general, although Metcalfe took too favourable a view of
the situation when he reported the avowed supporters of government as
46, as against 28 avowed adversaries. At best his majority could not
rise above six. Yet even so, the decision of the country still seems
astonishing. There was the unflinching Tory element at the centre; and
the British members from Lower Canada. Ryerson had used his great
influence among the Methodists, and, since the cry was one of loyalty
to the Crown, many waverers {181} may have voted on patriotic grounds
for the government candidates. Metcalfe's reputation, too, counted for
him, for he had already become known as more than generous, and one of
his successors estimated that he spent L6,000 a year in excess of his
official income. "It must be admitted," he himself wrote to Stanley,
"that this majority has been elected by the loyalty of the majority of
the people of Upper Canada, and of those of the Eastern townships in
Lower Canada."[25]
The government, and presumably also the governor-general, were accused
of having secured their victory by doubtful tactics, and Elgin reported
in 1847 that his Assembly, which was that of the 1844 election, had had
much discredit thrown on it on the ground that the late
governor-general had interfered unduly in the elections.[26] Neither
side had been perfectly scrupulous in its methods of warfare, and it is
not necessary to blame Metcalfe for the misguided zeal and cunning of
his Ministers and his country supporters. Be that as it may, the
governor-general had won a hard-fought victory--Pyrrhic as it proved.
Throughout this political warfare, Metcalfe had {182} been sustained by
the strong support of the home government. The cabinet announced
itself ready to give him every possible support in maintaining the
authority of the Queen, and of her representative, against unreasonable
and exorbitant pretensions.[27] In the debate on the troubles, which
Roebuck introduced on May 30th, 1844, all the leading men on either
side, Stanley, Peel, Russell, and Buller, warmly supported the
governor, Russell and Buller being as strong in their reprobation of
the demands of the council as Stanley himself.[28] And the chorus of
approval culminated in the letters from Peel and Stanley, which
announced the conferring of a peerage on Metcalfe "as a public mark of
her Majesty's cordial approbation of the judgment, ability, and
fidelity, with which he had discharged the important trust confided to
him by her Majesty."[29] In a sense the honours and praise were not
altogether out of place. Metcalfe had been sent out to conduct the
administration of Canada on what we now regard as an impossible system;
and unlike his immediate predecessors he had conceded not one point to
the other side. In spite of all that his enemies could say, his {183}
personal honour and dignity remained untarnished. The nicknames and
cruel taunts flung at him, in the earlier months, apparently by his own
ministers, recoil now on their heads, as the petty insults of
unmannerly politicians; indeed, the accusations which they made of
simplicity and honesty, simply reinforce the impression of quixotic
high-mindedness, which was not the least noble feature in Metcalfe's
character. His generosity had been unaffected by his difficulties; and
there are few finer things in the history of British administration
than the sense of duty exhibited throughout 1845 by Lord Metcalfe,
when, dying of cancer in the cheek, almost blind, and altogether unable
to write his despatches, he still clung to his post "to secure the
preservation of this colony and the supremacy of the mother country."
It is easy to separate the man from the official, and to praise the
former as one of the noblest of early Victorian administrators.
But even before Lord Metcalfe's departure at the end of 1845, the
inadequacy of his system stood revealed. He had indeed a majority in
the Assembly, but a small and doubtful majority; and since its members
had been elected rather to support Metcalfe than to co-operate with his
ill-assorted {184} ministry, difficulties very soon revealed
themselves. There were causes of dissension, chief among them the
University question in Upper Canada, which threatened to wreck the
government party. But the most ominous sign of coming defeat was the
incompatibility of temper which rapidly developed between loyal
ministers and loyal Assembly. "It is remarkable," Metcalfe wrote in
May, 1845, "that none of the Executive Council, although all are
estimable and respectable, exercise any great influence over the party
which supports the government. Mr. Draper is universally admitted to
be the most talented man in either House of the Legislature, and his
presence in the Legislative Assembly was deemed to be so essential,
that he resigned his seat in the Upper House, sacrificing his own
opinions in order that he might take the lead in the Assembly;
nevertheless he is not popular with the party that supports the
government, nor with any other, and I do not know that, strictly
speaking, he can be said to have a single follower. The same may be
remarked of every other member of the Executive Council; and although I
have much reason to be satisfied with them, and have no expectation of
finding others who would serve her Majesty better, still I do not {185}
perceive that any of them individually have brought much support to the
government."[30]
That is the confession of a man who has attempted the impossible, and
who is being forced reluctantly to witness his own defeat. The
ministry which he had created lacked the authority which can come only
from the best political talent of a people acting in sympathy with the
opinions of that people. He had, with great difficulty, found a House
of Assembly willing by a narrow majority to support him, but personal
support is not in itself a political programme, and the fallacy of his
calculations appeared when work in detail had to be accomplished. He
had reprobated party, and he found in a party--narrower in practice
even than that which he had displaced--the only possible foundation for
his authority. He had come to Canada to complete the reconciliation of
opposing races within the colony, and, when he left, the French seemed
once more about to retreat into their old position of invincible
hostility to all things British. The governor-generalship of Lord
Metcalfe is almost the clearest illustration in the nineteenth century
of the weakness of the doctrinaire in practical politics.
Unfortunately, the {186} doctrine which Metcalfe had strenuously
enforced was backed by the highest of imperial authorities, and
sanctioned by monarchy itself. In less than ten years after the
Rebellion, the renovated theory of colonial autonomy had produced a new
dilemma. It remained with Metcalfe's successor to decide whether

Crysis 3 open multiplayer beta explodes onto PS3, Xbox 360, PC next week
Anxious to get your hands on Crysis 3 in any way, shape or form? Well, EA and Crytek this morning announced that the public multiplayer beta is set to roll out next week, January 29th, for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC gamers.
Read on for the details and also check out the official beta site: www.crysis.com/beta
Electronic Arts Inc. and award-winning developer Crytek GmbH today announced an open multiplayer beta* for the premiere sandbox shooter experience, Crysis 3, will be available starting January 29th for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and PC. Including two team-based modes and two maps, the extensive beta will give players an opportunity to master the superpowers of the Nanosuit. The Crysis 3 multiplayer beta will be available for two weeks and give players the chance to get a leg up on the competition before Crysis 3 launches on February 19 in North America and February 21 in Europe.
"With Crysis 3 we are delivering the deepest, most robust Crysis multiplayer experience yet," said Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. "We have listened closely to our fans and have evolved the multiplayer in Crysis 3 by adding a host of new gameplay features including the unique Hunter mode, deadly new weapons like the Predator bow, deeper loadout and unlock options, enhanced upgrade systems and more social features like the New York Feed. Top it all off with the ultimate weapon in the Nanosuit and you have a multiplayer experience that is unlike anything else out there."
Beginning on January 29 and ending on February 12 the Crysis 3 multiplayer beta will feature two of the eight modes included in Crysis 3. In Crash Site, players must secure and defend specific locations, earning points along the way for kills and their ability to hold those locations. The exciting, all-new Hunter mode makes its debut in Crysis 3. This asymmetrical, time based mode pits two players vs. ten (two vs. 14 on PC) in matches that begin with two cloaked hunters stalking 10 opposing CELL troopers. Armed only with enhanced Nanosuits and the lethal Predator bow, hunters must systematically stalk and kill the CELL operatives, who in turn must work together as a team as they fight to stay alive before the round ends. The twist is that once a CELL trooper is killed, that player will then respawn as a hunter, joining the others in their attempt to eliminate the remaining CELL operatives before the clock strikes zero. The Crysis 3 multiplayer beta will also showcase two of the game's twelve visually stunning maps, Airport and Museum. Both will provide players a taste of the lush, urban rainforest and tactical sandbox that awaits them under the Liberty Dome of New York City.
Also included in the Crysis 3 multiplayer beta is the New York Feed, a brand new in-game social feed that will showcase the accomplishments of gamers and their friends while offering dynamic challenges to complete. Crysis 3 multiplayer also contains exciting new gameplay features including Rip & Throw, which allows players to interact with the elements of the environment to use as weapons or shields as well as the chance to control the Pinger, a fearsome alien tripod war machine that can be used to devastating effect.
Powered by Crytek's proprietary CryENGINE 3, Crysis 3 advances the state of the art with unparalleled visuals and dynamic shooter gameplay. Players take on the role of 'Prophet' as he returns to New York only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics, including the Nanosuit. Equipped with superhuman powers including cloaking, armor and enhanced visor abilities, the Nanosuit is the ultimate tool that allows players to assess, adapt and attack whatever the 7 Wonders throws at them. In addition to the Nanosuit, players will wield the powerful Predator bow and devastating alien weaponry to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.
Fans who pre-order Crysis 3 before launch will receive an automatic upgrade to the Crysis 3 Hunter Edition, as well as a free digital download to the game that started it all,Crysis** for Xbox 360, PS3 or PC. The Crysis 3 Hunter Edition gives players tools to become the ultimate hunter in multiplayer with instant access to the new signature Predator bow and its attachments plus the Hunter Nanosuit module, which adds additional power and functionality to the super-suit. Owners of the Crysis 3 Hunter Editionwill also have a head start when playing online with a bonus XP boost up to level 5, a unique Predator bow skin and three exclusive dog tags to hunt in style. The Crysis 3 Hunter Edition is available on Origin.com and other participating retailers for $59.99.
Crysis 3 will be available in North America on February 19, 2013 and in Europe on February 21 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation3 computer and PC.

In response to the Skypiea summary episode that was recently released in the anime, there is something odd I observed about the winged people, a.k.a. the Winged Race.
So I thought I should bring the following to your attention. But first, let's give a brief overview of the history of Skypiea in the state in which it was presented to us in the story.
The original part of Skypiea is called Angel Island. It's where the Skypieans live.
More than 400 years ago, there was an island in the Grand Line called Jaya. It had the shape of a skull. Montblanc Noland visited that island, and there he met with the Shandians and their ruler, Calgara. He also had the chance to witness the City of Gold, along with the giant Golden Belfry Bell. Noland cured the people there from a deadly disease and developed a strong relationship with Calgara, to whom he promised he would come back again for a visit.
All that was before the City of Gold, Shandora, was was knocked up in the sky by the famous Knock-Up Stream along with the Shandians. This was the reason why Noland was executed for being a Liar (thereby breaking the promise with Calgara), because the City of Gold which he had found in Jaya, was no longer there. In the meantime, Calgara himself could not find the Golden Bell in order to call Noland because it was knocked further up the sky, where it remained until Luffy rang it after 400 years. The Skypiea Arc is happening at a time when Shandia (also called Upper Yard) had already been separated from the rest of Jaya for 400 years.
This is where the puzzle begins.
At the moment when Shandia landed alongside Skypiea, the Sky People were too presented as having wings. So it is also safe to assume that Skypiea was also independently populated by the Winged Race at the same time.
But why did the people from the Winged Race inhabit both Jaya and the sky island right above it? Why and how did this state of affairs come to be?
We know that as soon as Shandia landed next to Skypiea, the Skypieans rushed over to dominate this new land. This is because they worshipped the soil that came with it. But what if there's more to it than that?
Now, bare that in mind.
The Shandians migrated to Jaya about 1100 years ago, i.e. before the Void Century. Some time during the war between the Ancient Kingdom and the World Govenment, the ancient weapon Pluton was used (for a reason we do not yet know), destroying several islands in its path. One of those islands was Jaya, where the Shandians resided. Part of Jaya was knocked up in the sky by Pluton, in a failed attempt by the Ancient Kingdom to hide Shandora from the World Government (Shandora was ruined by the 20 Kingdoms during the Void Century – chapter 272), creating Skypiea as we now know it. What is more, this event left a huge hole on the sea bottom, which is now basically the giant underwater cave that makes the knock-up stream possible (note that the knock-up stream could not have been originally created by the knock-up of Shandora because it was that same stream that knocked up Shandora in the first place). This assumption could also explain other holes in the One Piece Sea, such as the one below Enies Lobby.
From that point onward, the Shandians were split in two and most of the knowledge about their origin was lost due to the Void Century; some of it was written on the Poneglyphs. This left the following generations of the Shandians in Skypiea and the Shandians in Jaya with no knowledge of their origins. This is also supported by what Robin said all the way back in chapter 272 – that "all the books in the city were burned, its entire history was lost!", and that "the Golden City, Shandora, was destroyed after fighting to protect the poneglyphs". Thus, many generations in Skypiea were raised up believing that they were true Skypieans, given that Skypieans commonly inhabit sky islands. Up until 400 years ago, where the Skypieans met with the Shandians. Devastated as they were, the Shandians were easily dominated by the "Skypieans".
So maybe a need for sovereignty and integrity by the "Skypieans" could justify their hostility towards Shandians, but at least concerning the Winged Race of Jaya, it was actually Shandians who dominated over their own people.
Notice that Hitetsu is another human with wings. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more people from the Winged Race in Wano. My theory is that a group of people from the part of Jaya that remained on the sea surface 900 to 800 years ago migrated to Wano in order to let the Kozuki clan know of what really happened concerning the Winged Race during the Void Century, in order for them to carve the facts on the poneglyphs.
– Im-sama: The Five Elders spoke with Im-sama about a light that needs to be extinguished from history. The Golden Belfry Bell was also referred to as "the Light of Shandora", which was extinguised by the World Government during the Void Century. Could the Five Elders now be making a reference of a similar scale?
– Ussop: I don't think it's a coincidence that both Hitetsu and Montblanc Noland were compared to Ussop. Ussop found a liking in Noland because of his reputation for being a liar, while Hitetsu was mistaken for Ussop because of his long nose. Imagine if Ussop ends up being connected to critical events of the Void Century!
– Enel: I didn't think Enel was important enough to include in this story, because he arrived to Skypiea only 8 years before the Skypiea Arc. The only thing he did was to exploit Shandora's gold and manipulate it in order to build his Ark Maxim, which he later used to travel back to the Moon. He did not have any obvious mingling to the events discussed above.

So, we replaced my desktop machine at work with a laptop. In this case, a P3, 512mb, Radeon, WinXP laptop. It's nice. It runs Warcraft.
The Firefox Bookmarks Syncroniser keeps my FireFox Bookmarks synced between the laptop and the home desktop.
It duel boots into Debian occasionally, but not often. This is mostly because I'm a windows developer at the moment. The system runs WAMP (Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP), so I can do all my development work without touching the dev server (Not always a good thing, since the dev server is one major revision of PHP and a few minor revisions of MySQL behind the laptop).
Things that annoy me about it include iTunes. I like iTunes lots, but I can't tell it that I have three media libraries. One on the Laptop, one that's available when connected to water.gkhs, and one that's available only for internal.browserangel. That would be useful. Not as useful as being able to remove duplicates from the media library (which there are huge numbers of tools to do, all written in AppleScript), but useful all the same.
Been playing the Evil Genius demo, made by the one of the original designers of Theme Park and in the same mold as that and Dungeon Keeper. It's Great.
Also – and you may be able to tell this – been playing Transport Tycoon Deluxe again. I found the CD, then discovered it was quicker to download it from eDonkey (Where it has a Magic Patch that makes it work with XP) than get it working straight. Yay Internet.


Mola Rayo near 6th Street Austin.
I want to first thank Cristina Moore. She can be found on Model Mayhem. Very beautiful, super smart, and she knows all the great photographers. I was impressed. Aside from starting with a great model, I was using a Mola Rayo. For those that do not know about the Mola Rayo it is a hard light with a feathered hot spot. This makes the Mola Rayo a very forgiving hard light. Anyway, Cristina and I moved around the downtown area near 6th Street. We just kept looking for cool amazing lighting opportunities and Cristina did the rest. My job was easy.


Headings, they're used in documents and papers to help organize them.
a webpage, the heading tags are also important for SEO.
you'll learn the difference between types of heading tags and their importance.
as well as be able to make recommendations for improving them to a client.
Documents you write, as well as webpages, have headings.
and subheadings referred to as H2, H3, and so forth.
the content on the page, but are also useful for SEO.
to better determine what the page is about and the page's structure.
and then H2 tags are somewhat important.
In the grand scheme of things, these are both small signals.
as long as it sounds natural and not written for robots.
the page and the page's theme, it's best to leave it out.
are not really looked at by search engines from an SEO standpoint.
So we usually only address H1s and H2s of clients.
then use H2s as subsequent heading tags as needed.
as this can make a page appear spammy.
H2 tags by viewing the source code or by using a browser add-on.
I personally like Moz's add-on, but you can find any that works best for you.
a portion of the text that looks like it should be an H1 or an H2 is not.
how to best incorporate keywords into the heading tags where possible.
we will walk through how you can identity heading tags on a page.
There are couple of different ways you can view heading tags on a page.
that section of text, right-click, and then choose Inspect Element.
Line Making Certificate Program, is correctly wrapped in an H1 tag.
individual pieces of text individually, you can view the entire source code.
To do so, right-click anywhere on the page and then select View Page Source.
A window showing the source code of the page will pop up.
find what you want to look for.
the type of heading you are looking for.
For this example, I'll press Ctrl+F since I'm on a PC and then type in H1.
The first H1 it brings me to shows me that the H1 is the site name.
and then cycle through additional H1s on the page.
which means these are the only two H1 tags on the page.
The next method is using a browser add-on.
In this example, I'll use the MozBar.
I can see the H1 here and the text of those H1s here under Content.
In general, you really only want or need one H1 per page.
this is creating duplicate content, and isn't providing any value.
If this were a client, we would recommend that they remove the site name as the H1.
One of the downfalls of the MozBar is that it only picks up one H2 tag.
which isn't an optimal H2.
area as it's not helpful to SEO, and menus do not need to be wrapped in heading tags.
Learn the Science Behind the Art of Wine Making, we can inspect this.
And we will see that this is an H2 tag as well.
This H2 is much more optimal.
estimated cost, how to apply, we would see that each of these areas are all in H2s.
you can naturally incorporate keywords within these heading tags.
you might want to change this to about the wine making certification program.
You wouldn't want to do this for every H2.
long as it sounds natural.
That wraps up this demonstration on how to find heading tags on a page.
we already have some recommendations we can provide to the client.
Remove the H1 from the site name.
Remove the H2 from the menu.
Incorporate a keyword into the second H2 tag.
this lesson is to select two different sites of your own choosing.
Look at the homepage of the site and any interior page you want.
Find the H1 and the H2 of these pages, if they exist.
If the page has multiple H1s, list tags.
List any recommendations you have for improving the H1 and the H2.
a page and the importance of each within an on page optimization strategy.
as well as the type of heading tags you are looking at.
removing heading tags, or incorporating keywords into existing headings.
