The Second Coming of Gluttony - Chapter Side Story 19
Side Story 19. The Future Seol Jihu
"The future?"
Seol Jihu was caught off guard.
"Yep, the future. Don't you want to know what your future looks like?"
Black Seol Jihu spoke like it wasn't a big deal.
"Well… I obviously am. But can I?"
"Not normally."
Black Seol Jihu said outright.
"But it's not like you don't have contribution points, and the Seven Sins adore you too. It's not possible normally, but I'm sure they'll overlook it."
That's how it was when I went back in time too. Black Seol Jihu added.
"I don't know…. What would I even do there…?"
Seol Jihu scratched his head. Going to the future this abruptly…. It didn't really resonate with him.
"What are you talking about? It sounds like you actually don't understand. You don't need to do anything in the future. Why interfere with the future when it doesn't need to be changed?"
Black Seol Jihu said firmly.
"Didn't you say you were anxious and unsure of what to do?"
"So I'm telling you to go and see. If you see and experience things for yourself, I'm sure you'll realize something."
"And maybe that realization can guide you. That's just what I think."
Seol Jihu rubbed his chin at Black Seol Jihu's explanation.
'True. Seeing the future doesn't sound like a bad idea….'
Still, there were a few things that bothered him. Rather, he should say he still wasn't clear on a couple of things.
"If I go… what point in time should I go to?"
"Hmm, yeah, you should decide that too. I'm not sure. I'd tell you to come to my present time, but that seems dangerous."
"In Earth's time, you and I are only a few years apart. So I'm still in my transition period."
Transition period. So that was why Black Seol Jihu looked so exhausted. Seol Jihu pitied him inwardly. However, he shuddered in the next moment, realizing that this was his future in a few years.
"Why not go to the future 10 to 20 years from now?"
"That far?"
"Things should be under the wraps by then. Don't you think it will be better to see and experience things in a calmer environment?"
Seol Jihu nodded as he didn't find anything to disagree with.
"I don't know if Gula-nim will allow it, though. I heard two same people can't exist in the same time-frame simultaneously."
"That's for the gods to take care of…. I'm fairly certain it would be possible. I mean, we both are existing in the same time frame, aren't we?"
"Future Vision, you mean?"
"Yep. In your case, you would probably become Past Vision or something. I'm sure the gods can come up with something."
The current Seol Jihu would be sending his will to the future Seol Jihu and then temporarily manifesting the will of the past in future time. Of course, for this process to go smoothly, it would need to happen under the future Seol Jihu's agreement. That was the explanation Black Seol Jihu gave.
"That's a problem then. I don't know if a future self of mine would be willing to help."
"Don't worry about that. I'm sure there will be plenty."
Black Seol Jihu replied calmly.
Black Seol Jihu turned his head and glared at Seol Jihu.
"Let me say this again. You're one hell of a son of a bitch."
Seol Jihu shut his mouth. He couldn't deny it.
"Of course, I'm the same. No, it's not just the two of us. Regardless of the reason, all Seol Jihus, who touched a woman other than Yuhui, are a son of a bitch."
"Anyway, if one son-of-a-bitch requested help from his future son-of-a-bitch self by saying, Please help me be less of a son-of-a-bitch, then who's going to say no? It's not like you're doing this just for yourself. You're doing this for everyone!"
"The point is, there is nothing you need to worry about. We're all running on the same track. I'm sure one of the Seol Jihus in front of you will respond. I guarantee it."
Seol Jihu finally nodded his head.
"Thinking about it, I guess I'm not in a position to be picky. I should do something, so I'll give this a try."
"Good, that's more like it."
Black Seol Jihu spat out his cigarette and got up.
"Don't forget."
Then, he spoke.
"You're taking up arms for all Seol Jihus on the same train track. You have a huge responsibility."
Seol Jihu clenched his fists.
"Got it. I'll take my leave now."
"Okay. Strike while the iron is hot, right? Good luck."
After leaving the Path of the Soul, Seol Jihu stood in front of Gula's statue and bowed. There was no need to explain everything in depth. After all, Gula could read his mind.
[Child, I understand what you want, but….]
Seol Jihu could hear Gula clicking her tongue. Just like Black Seol Jihu said, she didn't seem all that excited about the prospect of him going to the future.
[Time will solve everything anyway. Must you really go?]
'Yes, I want to go.'
Seol Jihu was not shaken.
'Even if time will solve my problems… in the end, that means other people will bear the wounds that I caused them.'
[That will not change just because you go to the future. Give up. This matter is not something you can do anything about.]
'Even if the root of the problem doesn't change, I at least want to try everything within my power.'
[Well, I guess it's better than going back in time countless times like that guy….]
Gula sighed.
[This isn't the first time I've thought this, but you sure are selfish.]
Seol Jihu smiled bitterly at Gula's words. He didn't know what to say. After all, he was doing this to lessen the guilt and regret he felt.
[…Found it.]
[I found a future that responded to your call…. Wait, why are there so many?]
Gula sighed.
[Wait just a moment. I'm talking with my future self to create Past Vision and its settings.]
Soon, Gula said she was done and began to give a detailed explanation.
[There will be a time limit. You will only be able to stay in the future for six hours in Earth's time.]
[As for what you are allowed to do, Past Vision will terminate if you do anything to interfere with the future more than what is necessary.]
Six hours…. Though it wasn't much time, Seol Jihu decided to be grateful. After all, going back in time would be completely different than going to the future.
[Have you bore them in mind?]
Darkness spread out from Gula's statue.
[Come closer, my child.]
Seol Jihu bowed while walking closer step by step. At the same time, the feeling of his body being sucked in crept over him. By now, he was familiar with this feeling.
Opening his eyes, Seol Jihu furrowed his brows. Bright sunlight was shining down on him.
'This is….'
He saw a familiar ceiling. Seol Jihu immediately began to assess the situation.
'Am I home?'
Although he only moved to his new apartment recently, he recognized the place as his home in SY Apartments.
'Just how far into the future am I…?'
Because he came to the future in a rush, he had little to no information about what point in time he arrived at.
Seol Jihu first tried to get out of bed but then blinked in a daze.
His body was… heavy?
Now that he looked, the blanket covering him was bulging out. His left arm was also numb.
Seol Jihu lifted the blanket a little and immediately frowned. A slender leg was placed on top of his stomach.
Turning to the right unwittingly…
Seol Jihu almost screamed.
It was because a long-haired woman was sleeping right next to him.
Of course, a situation like this was totally within his expectations, but….
'M-Miss Eun Yuri?'
The problem was that the woman was Eun Yuri.
A soft breath tickled his nose. At first, he didn't even realize she was Eun Yuri, but the beauty mark under her eye gave it away.
She no longer had the youthful charm of the past and instead gave off a mature, ripened aura.
The woman to Seol Jihu's left was even more shocking.
'Princess Teresa?'
Teresa was sleeping soundly with her head on Seol Jihu's left arm.
'Wait, I thought I was on Earth!'
Paradisians could also come to Earth? Seol Jihu was taken aback as this was the first time he learned of the matter.
'L-Let's get up first.'
Seol Jihu slipped out of bed carefully, taking care not to wake up the two sleeping women. After putting on clothes, he examined himself in the mirror.
'I don't look all that different….'
Did something happen? He looked slightly older, of course, but not to the point he was noticeably different.
At that moment, a pleased moan flowed out.
"Mmn…. You're up?"
It was Teresa's voice. Seol Jihu, who was touching his face while looking in the mirror, looked back in a fluster.
"Haaaam~ You're up early today. I thought you'd sleep for longer after going hard all night."
Teresa raised her upper body while stretching. The blankets slipped down and revealed her naked body, but Teresa did not seem to mind all that much.
"Hm? If you have some stamina left, do you want to get rid of it?"
Teresa looked at the dazedly staring Seol Jihu and giggled while tapping on the bed. It was then.
"Good morning…."
With a slightly hoarse voice, Eun Yuri got up while rubbing her eyes.
"What time is it now…?"
Looking at the clock with sleepy eyes, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
She then got up in a hurry, dressed, and ran out the door while shouting, 'Jiyu! Jiyu!'
It was the same for Teresa.
"Oh my, my. I totally forgot. See you later, honey!"
She also glanced at the clock before running out in a hurry.
Seol Jihu stood in a daze for a while before slowly walking outside. By the time he got to the living room, a fragrant smell was wafting out. Sniffing, Seol Jihu stopped when he got to the kitchen.
Tong, tong, tong, tong. The sound of a knife hitting the cutting board rang out. Hnng, hnng~ A hum echoed out.
A woman was cutting vegetables in the kitchen. Seol Jihu stared in disbelief before speaking.
The humming stopped. A woman wearing an apron turned around.
Seol Jihu's breath stopped. Though her past fierceness had died down significantly, the woman giving off a more mature aura was none other than Chung Chohong.
"Oh, you're up?"
She even knew how to speak Korean. She had a bit of an accent, but he had no problem understanding her.
"Don't worry too much. Miss Yuhui got up earlier and is getting everyone ready. They'll be able to make it in time."
Chohong turned back.
"Anyway, what's up with you today?"
"You always sneak up on me in the morning and hug me from behind. You're not doing it today."
"No, I…. Did I do that?"
"You never listened when I said no, and now that I stopped caring, you're not doing it anymore? Well~ You don't have to do it if you don't want to~ I don't care~"
Despite saying so, Seol Jihu had a feeling something bad would happen if he didn't.
'I have to avoid looking suspicious.'
Seol Jihu stealthily walked up and gently hugged Chohong.
"Man, it feels like I'm forcing you to."
Chohong still laughed like she didn't hate it.
"Oh, Miss Hannah can't come home today because of work. She told us to look after Jinah."
"Huh? Ah…."
Chohong suddenly nudged Seol Jihu with her elbow.
"I'm fine, so you can go."
"The kids have been waiting for a while."
Chohong gestured toward the kitchen table.
Seol Jihu's eyes widened.
Would they be middle schoolers? A boy and a girl looked at him from the kitchen table, each with a bowl in front of them.
"Oh, Daddy! Chummy as always, huh?"
The girl giggled and whistled. She looked just like Seol Jihu.
"Hey, you should say good morning properly."
The boy spoke sharply. The way he looked and talked reminded Seol Jihu of Phi Sora.
"Have you slept well, Father?"
The boy bowed respectfully toward Seol Jihu.
Seol Jihu was struck speechless.
Daddy? Father!?
That meant….
"Hope you guys succeed today!"
Chohong cheered them on.
"Of course! I'm confident today because I used the noodle-making method that Daddy taught me a while ago!"
The girl shouted confidently. Then, she glanced at the boy.
"You haven't learned it yet, right?"
She was boasting proudly.
"I… I still tried my best."
The boy spoke nervously.
Seol Jihu looked at the kitchen table. Two bowls of naengmyeon were placed on it.
Seol Jihu was about to ask, 'Am I supposed to eat them?' But he swallowed his words as it seemed something of a daily morning ritual.
"Mm…. Okay…."
Seol Jihu calmly tasted the two naengmyeons and the soup. His future children must have made it for him by the looks of it. Feeling rather happy, a smile bloomed on Seol Jihu's face.
"How is it, Dad? I know it can't compare to yours, but isn't it better than the one he made?"
The girl asked while boasting.
On the other hand, the boy looked determined as if he was ready to accept any evaluation.
"…They're good."
Seol Jihu smiled kindly.
"They're both tasty."
At that moment, the boy and the girl put on a strange expression. They seemed to be doubting their ears.
"Uh… Dad, did you eat something wrong this morning?"
The girl scurried up, got on her tip-toes, and put her hand on Seol Jihu's forehead.
"Hey! Be more respectful to Father!"
"But isn't it weird?"
At that moment, a gentle voice cut in between them.
"It's late. It's time to go to school."
This voice…!
'It's Yuhui's!'
As Seol Jihu thought, Seo Yuhui was smiling warmly while looking at the boy and the girl.
"Jihui, you're going to be late. Put on your uniform and get your bag. You too, sweetie."
"Yes, Eldest Mother."
The boy answered right away.
"Ah~ Do I have to go to school~?"
The girl named Jihui harrumphed and turned around.
"Mommy's a dummy. It's not like I learn anything by going to school."
"Hey! Don't talk to Eldest Mother like that!"
"She's Eldest Mother for you! For me, she's just Mommy! And I only need to learn how to make noodles. Wait, no, I don't really need to learn. Because unlike you, I'm a genius recognized by Father!"
Seol Jihui giggled and ran into her room.
The boy made a vexed face but held in his frustration and disappeared into his room.
"What a surprise. For you to say they taste good. Usually, you say they're 40 years too early."
Seo Yuhui smiled. She then saw the blankly standing Seol Jihu and tilted her head.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"N-No, I'm fine."
"It doesn't look like you have a fever…. Can you help us if you have time?"
"I thought I would make it in time, but it's looking a little tight. We still have to wake the kids up, bathe them, give them breakfast…. Ah, Miss Yuri is going to have trouble giving Jiyu medicine, so…."
"Uh, yeah."
Before Seol Jihu noticed, the time went past eight o'clock in the morning. At the same time, a war broke out in the house. Seol Jihu had no time to figure out whose kids were whose, what their names were, or if they truly were his kids.
"Wake up. It's time to wake up. Okay?"
One child dug into his embrace and refused to leave.
"Okay, be a good girl. Don't cling to me and wake up."
She clung to him no matter how hard he tried to get her off. It was like he was looking at a baby koala.
That wasn't all.
"Ah, hey! Don't close your mouth!"
Another kid refused to eat her medicine.
"Come on, you eat breakfast just fine, so why not your medicine?"
You were eating that rolled omelet just fine! Seol Jihu screamed internally. When he tried to feed the girl medicine by sneaking it in the middle of her breakfast, the girl somehow noticed and closed her mouth. She was half-asleep too!
Seol Jihu didn't know who they took after, but they all seemed to have a screw loose.
What was surprising was that his wives were getting them ready and shipping them off to school one by one.
"Kids~ Don't forget to say goodbye to Daddy."
"Dad! I'm off! Bring home lots of money today as well!"
Seol Jihui ran out.
"See you later, Father."
The polite boy, whose name Seol Jihu did not know yet, bowed and left the house.
"Kids~ Say goodbye to Daddy."
"Goodbye, Daddwi…."
Two kids in pre-school uniforms rubbed their eyes and bowed.
"Fufu, I'm heading out as well. See you later."
Yoo Seonhwa held the kids' hands and then kissed Seol Jihu's left cheek.
"Then, this side's mine!"
Teresa kissed his right cheek.
"Jiyu, Daddy isn't forcing you to take your medicine because he hates you. It's because he's worried about you…. Ehew."
Eun Yuri consoled the girl named Jiyu and then chuckled.
"See you later, Oppa."
After kissing Seol Jihu on the lips, she picked up Seol Jiyu.
Seol Jihu walked out of the house, along with his wives and kids. His mind was in complete chaos, but he at least wanted to see the kids' names with his Nine Eyes.
When he arrived at the elevator, he coincidentally saw his neighbor's door open.
A teenage girl, who looked like a high schooler, walked out. Her hair and skin both emitted a red light.
Seol Jihu's eyes narrowed.
"Suna Noona, good morning."
The boy greeted her in a bright voice.
"Yeah, it's been a while."
"It has. Have you been well?"
"You know, it's been the same. How have things been for you? Did your father evaluate your dish today too?
"Ah…. Things were a little hectic this morning. He tasted my dish, but I didn't get a proper evaluation. He did say it tasted good though…."
The boy smiled faintly. Suna nodded her head.
"Keep up the good work. Talent is something that blooms when you have the passion and put in the effort to meet a clear goal. Your father said he has the highest expectation of you."
Suna, who was consoling the boy, suddenly turned her gaze.
After seeing Seol Jihu standing in front of the elevator, she clicked her tongue.
—Don't cause trouble and go back. I understand why you're here, but don't mess with the future that's going well.
Suna's voice rang out inside Seol Jihu's head.
At that moment, the elevator doors opened. When the crowd gathered in front of the elevator left, the hallway became empty.
Seol Jihu finally heaved out the breath he had been holding in.
'What a morning. Really….'
Half of his precious six hours had disappeared already.
Seol Jihu bit his lower lip.
'I'm experiencing the future… but what am I supposed to do to….'
Just as he was about to fall into thought, Seol Jihu felt someone tapping his shoulder from the back.

FOXBORO, Mass. — Tom Brady and Robert Kraft might be on the same page.
Hours before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earned a 19-17 win over the Patriots, New England owner Robert Kraft admitted he hopes Brady eventually retires as a member of the franchise that drafted him in 2000. Kraft did not specify whether he imagined a one-day contract for Brady or something else.
Brady beat around the bush a bit during his postgame press conference, but the 44-year-old definitely left the door open for an eventual Patriots reunion. His first apparent mention of it came during a response to a question about how special it was to win in Gillette Stadium as a visitor.
"It's been a great stadium for me for a long time," Brady said. "I don't know what the future holds. Obviously could be an opportunity to come back here. We'll see. I feel like I'll always be a part of this community. I'll be up here quite a bit when it's all said and done. When I retire I'm sure there will be a lot of time for — you know, I have a lot of friends up here and it's a great place.
"My kids were born on Beacon Street in the city. It's been an amazing place for me, it still is. I obviously see a lot of familiar friendly faces, and great to see you guys, too."
(Note: It's possible Brady was referring to the possibility of playing another game in Gillette Stadium as a member of the Bucs. Tampa Bay would visit New England again in 2023 if both teams finish in the same position in their respective divisions next season.)
Brady then was asked specifically about the possibility of signing a one-day contract. After cracking a joke, he offered the following:
"(Kraft) didn't offer me that," a laughing Brady said. "… I still got some time left with the Bucs, and like I said, really enjoying that. We got a lot to accomplish this year."
Asked one more time about the possibility of retiring as a Patriot, a coy Brady said: "I'm not sure."
Make of all that what you will. But you definitely can insert the "So, you're telling me there's a chance?!" GIFs.
One other note from Brady's press conference: He confirmed his postgame meeting with Bill Belichick inside Tampa's locker room. Of course, he didn't offer any specifics.

Mutations in Connexin26 (Cx26) give rise to a spectrum of dominantly inherited hyperproliferating skin disorders, the severest being keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome, an inflammatory skin disorder, with patients prone to opportunistic infections. We compared the effects of peptidoglycan (PGN) extracted from the skin commensal Staphylococcus epidermidis and the opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus on interleukin-6 and connexin expression in HaCaT cells (a keratinocyte cell line) and connexin channel activity in HaCaT and HeLa (connexin deficient) cells transfected to express KID and non-KID Cx26 mutations. In both cell types, PGN from S. aureus induced hemichannel activity in cells expressing KID mutants as monitored by ATP release assays following 15-min challenge, while that from S. epidermidis evoked a response in HeLa cells. In KID mutant expressing cells, ATP release was significantly higher than in cells transfected with wild-type Cx26. No ATP release was observed in non-KID mutant transfected cells or in the presence of carbenoxolone, a connexin channel blocker. PGN isolated from S. aureus but not S. epidermidis induced interleukin-6 and Cx26 expression in HaCaT cells following 6-h challenge. Challenge by PGN from S. aureus evoked a greater interleukin-6 response in cells expressing KID mutants than in cells expressing wtCx26 or non-KID mutants. This response returned to basal levels if acute KID hemichannel signalling was blocked prior to PGN challenge. Thus, KID mutants form channels that can be triggered by the pro-inflammatory mediator PGN from opportunistic pathogens but not skin commensals, providing further insight into the genotype-phenotype relationship of Cx26 disorders.

DZ Bank's current infrastructure makes it possible for the bank to take part in the exploratory phase of the ECB's project testing the settlement of large-volume capital market transactions in central bank money.
Germany's third-largest bank DZ Bank has launched a blockchain-based platform for the processing and custody of crypto assets. The platform will cater to institutional clients, offering them crypto securities the crypto bond from Siemens, which "DZ Bank subscribed to six months ago and which could now be transferred to self-custody."
"We assume that within the next ten years a significant proportion of capital market business will be processed via distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based infrastructures. In the medium term, we see DLT as a complementary technology to the established infrastructures in the existing capital market processes," says Dr. Holger Meffert, Head of Securities Services & Digital Custody at DZ Bank.
DZ Bank began building the platform in 2022 and had previously served as a processor and custodian in the first external transaction of crypto fund shares from Bankhaus Metzler. Since both custody and processing are covered by the Electronic Securities Act (eWpG), the bank can take on this new role with its existing licenses.
In June, the bank applied for a crypto custody license from the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) to enable its institutional clients to invest in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin in the future. It is also working on an offer that will enable private customers to invest in crypto directly. Further, DZ Bank's current infrastructure makes it possible for the bank to take part in the exploratory phase of the European Central Bank's (ECB) project testing the settlement of large-volume capital market transactions in central bank money.
Ripple Labs subsidiary Metaco was tapped to provide infrastructural support after a thorough proof-of-concept and diligence process. The partnership was first announced in February 2023. According to a release from Metaco, its Harmonize™ platform was chosen for its complete alignment with the bank's "requirements around security, scalability, and optionality for adapting fast to any changes in the future."
German banks have, over recent months, been making cryptocurrencies more accessible to their customers. In March, Deutsche WertpapierServiceBank (Dwpbank) launched its wpNex crypto trading platform, giving 1,200 banks and savings banks in Germany access to the digital asset industry. In April, asset management group DWS, which is largely owned by Deutsche Bank, announced a partnership with Galaxy Digital with the aim of "developing a comprehensive suite of exchange-traded products (ETPs) on certain digital assets in Europe." Other banks, including Commerzbank and DekaBank, have applied for crypto custody licenses with BaFin.

Lionel Messi, the name itself is enough to tell about the greatness of the football player. He is called as a legend in the world of football and one of the best sportsman alive. FC Barcelona, the team from which Messi plays lost against Liverpool, still his performance was phenomenal.
There are high chances that Messi wins the golden football, Ballon d'Or this year. Messi is the top contender in the race of Ballon d'Or because of the following reasons.
[fvplayer id="1423″]
Golden Boot Winner
Lionel Messi was the winner of the golden boot this year which makes it his sixth win for the European show award. Messi had a such a fantastic performance that he has won the golden boot for the last 3 years in a row. With 34 goals and 13 assists in the La Liga championship, he has once again proved his worth. The performance of Messi at La Liga alone is enough to turn the Ballon d'Or trophy in his favor.
Performance of Messi at UCL
The critics of Ballon d'Or majorly focus on the performance of a player throughout the whole season. The domestic and European competition mainly decides the winner for the golden football trophy. Messi has scored 12 goals and 3 assists in the UCL competition this year, despite his team being out of the tournament at an early stage. If the last year' winner Luka Modric is any indication, Messi will probably win the Ballon d'Or this year.
Not enough Competition
Messi has performed so much better than most of his competitor this year and is the top scorer in both UCL and the domestic league. 6 times man of the match in UCL and 12 times in La-Liga puts him at the top in Ballon d'Or race. Cristiano Ronald, Raheem Sterling, and Virgil Van Dijk are some of the few names that could give a fierce competition to Lionel Messi. Still, by all stats, Messi is going to win Ballon d' Or this year with ease.

(2022) Atmospheric-pressure infrared laser-ablation plasma-postionization mass spectrometry imaging of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and fresh-frozen tissue sections with no sample preparation. Analytical Chemistry, 94(28), pp. 9970-9974. (doi: 10.1021/acs.analchem.2c00690) (PMID:35798333) (PMCID:PMC9310026)

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) encompasses a powerful suit of techniques which provide spatially resolved atomic and molecular information from almost any sample type. MSI is now widely used in preclinical research to provide insight into metabolic phenotypes of disease. Typically, fresh-frozen tissue preparations are considered optimal for biological MSI and other traditional preservation methods such as formalin fixation, alone or with paraffin embedding (FFPE), are considered less optimal or even incompatible. Due to the prevalence of FFPE tissue storage, particularly for rare and therefore high-value tissue samples, there is substantial motivation for optimizing MSI methods for analysis of FFPE tissue. Here, we present a novel modality, atmospheric-pressure infrared laser-ablation plasma postionization (AP-IR-LA-PPI), with the first proof-of-concept examples of MSI for FFPE and fresh-frozen tissues, with no post-sectioning sample preparation. We present ion images from FFPE and fresh tissues in positive and negative ion modes. Molecular annotations (via the Metaspace annotation engine) and on-tissue MS/MS provide additional confidence that the detected ions arise from a broad range of metabolite and lipid classes from both FFPE and fresh-frozen tissues.

Hundreds of thousands of cars and trucks pass under the mammoth Great Platte River Road Archway Monument as the zip along Interstate 80 in central Nebraska. Inside, historical exhibits tell the story of the American West, and specifically, the story of the region of Nebraska where the Platte River flows through. If you've ever wondered what's inside and why you should visit, keep reading.
Significance Of The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument
Located just a couple miles east of Kearney, Nebraska, the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument is the first (and only) museum to span over an interstate. That in itself is pretty fascinating, and one of the highlights of the museum ties the interstate into the experience. If you've been, you know what I'm talking about: There's a radar gun perched at a window at the end of the Archway, and you can track how fast cars are traveling below. I was hoping to catch some sort of negligent driver, but alas, everyone was going well below the speed limit.
Growing up in Nebraska, you learn all about the American life covered in this monument: From prehistoric Nebraska to pioneer life and on past the transcontinental railroad and excitement of cars. But, as an adult, you start to forget about some of those details (unless you have a kid in fourth grade, and then it's ALL IN on Nebraska history).
Sure, you can visit historic sites and museums around the Midwest that cover each exhibit in great detail (and often, with free admission). But, the draw of the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument is that learning about all these interesting periods of this (still pretty young) nation is done so in an immersive way. It's not just visual and it's not just an audio tour describing things. It's occasionally hands-on and some rooms are a whole mood.
If you're not from Nebraska, you probably haven't heard of the Archway Monument's rocky start. It was meant to be tourist attraction from the get-go, but tourist numbers fell short of expectations. It wasn't until 2017 (17 years after it opened and after bankruptcy), that attraction finally turned a profit.
Pop culture trivia: The 2002 movie "About Schmidt" by Omaha-native Alexander Payne filmed a few on location at the Archway, with Jack Nicholson's character, Warren Schmidt, taking the escalators up to view exhibits.
Things To Do At The Monument: Exhibits & Attractions
The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument is a unique and interactive museum that celebrates the history of the Oregon Trail. It features a variety of exhibits and attractions, including interactive displays, educational activities, and more. Visitors can explore the history of the Oregon Trail through interactive displays, learn about the people who traveled it, and discover what life was like for those who made this journey.
Exhibit include:
- Pioneer life, the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails, and Fort Kearny
- A buffalo stampede
- The Pony Express
- The California Gold Rush and a 49er campsite
- The building of the transcontinental railroad, as well as stagecoaches
- The Lincoln Highway and America's love affair with the road trip
- 1950s drive-in and a replica of a roadside diner (you'll find the radar gun inside this diner!)
As you move through the Archway Monument, you'll encounter stations with trivia or brief hands-on activities. Truthfully, some areas looked like they could have used some updating. The outside campus around the monument is worth exploring. There are nearby trails, public art, and a sod house to see.
Tips For Planning A Visit To The Archway Monument
The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument is open seven days a week year-round, except for major holidays. Hours are shorter on Sundays.
There is an admission fee to enter the historical exhibits, but everything on the first floor (like the gallery, gift shop, and all exterior trails and sculptures) are free to see. Kids ages 5 and under are admitted free.
Tip: You can purchase Archway admission tickets ahead of time.
The good news is that the Archway Monument was built with crowds and tour groups in mind. There is plenty of free parking at the monument, including spots for larger vehicles like motorcoaches and RVs.
The Archway Monument is found at Exit 275 on Interstate 80. There are several Kearney hotels located within a mile to 5 miles of the attraction. One of Kearney's newest hotels, the Crowne Plaza, has an indoor waterpark and a great restaurant called Fyre Grill.

FAQ about the Kearney Archway Monument
How long does it take to go through the Archway Monument?
Every visitor gets an audio tour and if you were to listen to every stop, it would take 2-3 hours to walk through the exhibits. A casual listener (listening to just a couple stops total) will take about an hour to go through the exhibits and read some of the signage or do some of the activities.u003cbr/u003eThere are a few activities woven into exhibits, but it's by no means like a hands-on children's museum experience. Kids are going to be moving fairly quickly from exhibit to exhibit.
Is the Archway Monument wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument is designed to be barrier-free and fully-accessible.
When was the Archway Monument built?
The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument opened in 2000. Meant to be a tourist attraction, it took 17 years for it to turn a profit.
Who built and designed the Archway Monument?
The idea for building the Archway was first dreamed up by the 31st governor of Nebraska, Frank Morrison (1961-1967). The structure was designed by the Urban Design Group, based in Denver. u003cbr/u003eAccording to the Architectural Foundation of Nebraska, the Urban Design Group "designed the structure of exposed weathered steel trusses to represent a covered bridge and to evoke the muscular, bold, and rustic feel of the frontier. The stainless steel exterior was specifically treated with electricity-charged acid to create the Nebraska sunset effect with red, orange, and yellow hues. The monument was constructed to the side of the interstate while two towers were built to either side of the highway; when complete, the structure was elevated, rolled across the road overnight, then moved into final position with hydraulic jacks over the next eight days."
Is there a gift shop?
Yes, the u003ca href=u0022https://archway.org/gift-shopu0022u003egift shopu003c/au003e is located on the first floor and you do not need to buy an admission ticket to visit the gift shop. The gift shop is not only a good place to buy Archway Monument and Kearney souvenirs, it's also a good collection of Nebraska-made goods.

The magic of creating is part of the #WBOYC link party, a regular link up for bloggers discussing their word of the year or what has been on their calendar for the month.
The Magic of Creating
As you may recall one of my words of the year is CREATE.
Each month, I'm exploring what creativity means to me and how I can incorporate more creativity into my life.
One of my recent realisations is that I don't have to limit myself to just one creative outlet.
As children, we are repeatedly told that being a 'Jack of all Trades' is a negative attribute. We are encouraged to focus on becoming an expert at just one thing.
But I don't want that.
I want the freedom to flit from one project to another, to explore as many different ways of being creative as possible.
I have a curious mind that gets bored with just one idea.
According to popular journalism I want to become a 'slashy'!
This is the term given to people whose bio might read something like model/author/presenter/mother.
I think I currently want mine to be mother/wife/food taster/artist/writer/explorer!
What would your slashy title be?
Creative Book – Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
I have just finished reading the non-fiction book Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert (of Eat, Pray, Love fame).
The book is an exploration of how humans need and should be creative despite our fears, how ideas work and come into our lives, where creativity comes from, and how to allow creativity to flow freely in your life.
In her book, Gilbert discusses how limiting beliefs about our creativity (or any aspect of our abilities) can develop from an early age.
School encourages us to take part in a subject/activity, but then we are immediately judged on whether we are any good at that activity. Each child is categorised into whether they are gifted or show potential. If they aren't, then they are discouraged from continuing with the activity.
We are constantly fed the idea by society that if we aren't proficient at something, then we shouldn't continue to pursue it, even if it interests us or brings enjoyment. We are made to believe we should only pursue something that we can become a success or expert in it.
I remember my English teacher at parent's evening telling my parents and I, that I would be lucky to pass my English O'level exams as I lacked imagination.
This has locked in a limiting belief in me that I'm no good at English or writing!.
Thankfully my mum found a lovely family friend who gave me some after school tutoring and I easily passed my English exams. But even though I passed, that teacher's negative words have stuck. I'm still reluctant to pursue writing as an outlet even though I have discovered I love blogging.
Similarly, a friend's art teacher told them that they were useless at drawing and it was a waste of paper them even trying! They were assigned to cleaning up the art room instead. My friend has gone through life believing that they can't draw.
Anyone can draw – it just takes practice and finding a style that suits you.
As Gilbert states "you don't need permission to be creative". No matter what someone else says, just do it anyway!
Find the things that make you feel joyful, free and full of life. It might be dancing, painting, writing, exercise. You are allowed to do these things even if you aren't an expert. Don't let fear and limiting beliefs hold you back.
One of the other barriers to being creative is that it is a very personal process. It can make us feel vulnerable, exposing our emotions and thoughts. We fear that we will be judge on what we produce. Again this links back to holding limiting beliefs about our abilities but also our need to fit in society.
Being creative sometimes requires us to be brave.
To find our creativity we may need to delve deep within ourselves, revealing the layers that have made us who we are.
Midlife brings with it an accumulation of knowledge and life skills that we often overlook and dismiss. We believe that we have nothing to offer when in reality we have so much we can share with others. We shouldn't be afraid of sharing our experience through creative outlets.
Overall Gilbert's book is a manual on how to allow creativity into your life. To listen to the inner voice that wants you to express your knowledge and desires. Often creativity will come knocking loud and clear at your door. If you don't answer the call and allow the magic of creativity into your life, it will move on to the next person.
She also advocates being the 'weirdo' who expresses their love of life/work/creativity/parenting, instead of complaining about life. She endorses pushing back against the constant negativity in society.
Be proud of having a go. Yes you might fail, yes you might not be that good at it, but it doesn't matter.
By allowing the magic of creativity into your life you can discover something that provides you with joy and freedom.
The new mantra I have taken for myself from her book is "I enjoy my creativity". I am going to allow myself to see creativity as my new super power.
I am also going to become a slashy!
Let me know in the comments if you have limiting beliefs about your creativity and what you want your 'slashy' bio to say about you
Don't forget to check out the other posts in this link party HERE . Thanks to my fellow bloggers for setting up this link party.

Milan, Italy
Ubisoft Milan
Our studio was founded in 1998, an era in which the game development industry in Italy was tiny, almost non-existent.
The team back then was fairly small but full of enthusiasm, and the focus was on iconic Nintendo handhelds like Game Boy Color and Advance, developing games based both on Ubisoft and third party IPs, such as Rayman, Disney's Jungle Book and Eidos' Tomb Raider.
With the advent of HD consoles, our team grew and started various important collaborations that improved our expertise and laid the foundations for the future: we worked with Ubisoft Annecy on the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell brand, with Ubisoft Montreal on the Assassin's Creed one, developing also a long-lasting relationship with Ubisoft Paris, both on the Just Dance and Ghost Recon series.
When our team found out about the opportunity to develop a game in partnership with Nintendo, everyone did their best, leveraging our boundless passion, expertise and craft that lead to the proposal that would have become Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.
After the global success of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, we worked on a massive DLC of the game featuring Donkey Kong, one of the most appreciated Nintendo characters of all time.
In October 2022, we released a new chapter in the Mario + Rabbids saga: the critically acclaimed Sparks of Hope, and we will support the game with 3 DLCs. The first one, The Tower of Doooom, has been released in March, while the other two, including the one featuring Rayman, will be released throughout 2023.

How To Make Photo Bigger Without Losing Quality – You know that awesome smartphone photo you took with your mom and want to enlarge it to make a beautiful print for her birthday? What if we told you that you don't need an expensive third-party Photoshop plugin to zoom without losing noticeable image quality?
Yes, if you already have Photoshop or Lightroom, quality image resizing/zooming is already installed. To use the photo zoom feature, you just need to enable the setting, otherwise it might already be enabled by default!
How To Make Photo Bigger Without Losing Quality
Photoshop and Lightroom are packed with so many features that are constantly being added and updated that you may have missed this simple but effective resizing feature. Software expert Matt Kloskowski explains how to use it in the tutorial below.
How To Resize An Image On Mac 2023
"I do it because there are so many myths out there," says Kloskowski. "Sometimes people think that if there's a plugin that does this, it must be better than Photoshop. I'm here to tell you that Adobe is constantly improving these things. If you use Photoshop and/or Lightroom, you already have great technology. I don't think you need a plug. I type all the time. I write a lot. That's what I use and it holds up perfectly to my prints."
In Photoshop, simply open the image you want to resize and choose Image Size from the menu bar. "Yes, it's that easy," he notes. "It's pretty much the same menu item that's been around since the beginning of Photoshop.
Once your image opens in the Image Size interface, choose how big you want to make it in inches or pixels. The real trick, he explains, is to make sure the correct Resample method is selected from the drop-down menu. What you want is Preserve Details 2.0, available in most current versions of Photoshop. As mentioned earlier, it is probably enabled by default.
With Save Details 2.0 selected, save the enlarged image in Photoshop and you're good to go. The software automatically maximizes the details of your enhanced image so it looks great when you print it.
Make Images Bigger Without Losing Quality With Upscale
Select your photo in Lightroom and choose Export from the File menu. Under Image Size, resize the image to enlarge it for printing. Export it to your desktop in JPEG format and the "detail preservation" technology will automatically work in the background to give you the best image quality for printing. It's that simple.
Watch Kloskowski's video below to see how this easy process works for Photoshop and Lightroom. We've been using Preserve Details 2.0 for over a year and can say it's a lifesaver, especially with images we've cropped but want to print. We can't wait to see what Adobe brings with Reserve Details 3.0. the content is free. We earn a commission when you make purchases through referral links on our site. in more detail
Fortunately, there are some "smart" tools that can help you easily enlarge images without the pixelation problem you encountered when trying to resize an image with a "dumb" photo editing tool.
All you have to do is link your image. The tools then use fancy algorithms to create an enlarged version that looks surprisingly normal.
How To Make The Text Larger Without Losing The Quality On Surfacegui
In this post, I tested six of the best image zoom tools and will share the tools and test results with you.
To maintain consistency during testing, I used the following two images when using each image zoom tool. The key is to show the results of a detailed image and prove that the quality often ends up better if you start with a larger file.
I also ran two tests for each image: 2x original size and 8x original size. Click on any of the test images to view the image in full size.
Upscalepics offers many free image zoom components along with affordable pricing plans. The online resizing system requires no software downloads, but has proven to be one of the most effective image resizing tools.
Best Online Image Optimizer Tools Compared (real Test Data)
The actual file size of the photos is significantly increased compared to other tools. Our first (larger) image shows great detail when expanded to a larger file. The second (smaller original file) looks fine when scaled down for this blog post, but has noticeable distortion at the actual full size (click image to open in new tab).
On1 Resize is a premium desktop application with countless features for resizing an image, creating graphics for printing, and simulating how a photo will look when printed.
Naturally, the file sizes grew with all the tests. Each extension was not too large according to the respective dimensions. The first test for image 1 is high quality but has a softer look. Interestingly, in Figure 1, the second (larger) transformation was more pronounced. This is a wonderful transformation.
Figure 2 (small original file) has similar results. The first test (2x size) provided a smoother image, the larger (8x size) file looked a bit nicer. It's not as clean as the test in picture 1, but it's not bad. Obviously, the results of Figure 2 have distortions like blur.
So I Printed Prusa Logo On My Mks3+ Using Rosa3d Pla In Under 4 Minutes Any Idea How To Go Faster Without Losing Quality?
ImageEnlarger.com has the simplest interface. Some may like it, but others will like it as something from another era.
That said, you can't beat the simplicity of the process. You upload an image, choose a format and then choose the dimensions you want.
For Figure 1, both tests performed better than I expected. I'd argue that the resolution of any enlarged photo is better than any other tool on this list – at least without touching the editing features.
The tests in Figure 2 were a different story. As the images are enlarged, each one has noticeable blurring and slight color changes. ImageEnlarger.com provides fast, high-quality enlarged photos as long as the original file is not too small.
Easily Make Images Bigger Without Losing Quality In Photoshop & Lightroom
There is also a maximum width limit, which is terrible when trying to enlarge images without losing quality.
Befunky serves as an online image editor and enhancer with powerful options for resizing, creating contacts and adding effects. However, it also offers unique features for combining creative textures and turning ordinary photos into works of art, for example, if you want one of your photos to look like a painting or a painting.
For image resizing, Bufunky provides a fast, free resizing tool to increase the width, height and overall size of your photos by percentage. You will find hundreds of photo editing features, but if you want to enlarge the image, you should go to Edit → Resize.
The Befunky Plus plan starts at $4.99 per month for an annual plan and $9.99 per month when paid monthly. Unlocks features like one-click AI image enhancer, smarter editing tools, background removal, batch image editor and more filters, effects and productivity options.
Let's Enhance: Image Quality Ai & Free Online Photo Enlarger
Scaling the image from 1x to 2x produces consistent results, with a slight blurring of the edges only noticeable when zoomed. Befunky saw a maximum reduction of 682% when locking the aspect ratio of image 1. Batch processing seems to allow for much larger increases and you can go higher than that unless you lock the aspect ratio or use smaller images. Regardless, the maximum zoom of 6.8x for Figure 1 showed similar results to the previous test: we lose marginal quality from the original, but 6.8x zoom is quite similar to working with 2x.
Image 2 was a different story, as the 2x zoom shows a decent amount of blur and the 8x zoom looks silly. Note that smaller images allow for a higher zoom percentage in Befunky (I can reach 8x with Figure 2). Not to mention, file sizes are manageable.
The test showed obvious strengths and weaknesses. You can't start with a small photo and expect quality results when zooming with Befunky. Also, don't expect print-worthy resolution. However, we like it as one of the best options for quickly downloading a reasonably sized image and downloading a larger version that looks great on digital devices. You will have no problem using the results of Figure 1 on a website or blog. The fact that Befunky is free and easy to use is also a big plus. There is also a sharpening tool that can help after resizing.
Reshade is a free desktop application created primarily for resizing photo images and enhancing those photos in the process. I like that it is an easy application without a high price. Not to mention, you can download bulk images.
How To Increase Image Dpi To 300 For Print
Reshade has done an amazing job of reducing file sizes while maintaining the quality you expect from digital photography.
Reshade includes a vector resizing strategy that allows you to add animation-like elements to larger photos to fill in information. As long as you don't overdo it,

Daniel Kinahan is a "dangerous man" whose role in boxing has brought an "element of terror" to the sport, Barry McGuigan says.
The former world champion is one of several figures from the world of boxing interviewed for the Panorama expose Boxing and the Mob, which airs tonight.
But McGuigan was the only insider who wasn't scared of appearing on camera for the hour-long BBC special.
The boxing legend from Co Monaghan told the show: "There is no doubt that there is an intimidation effect, there is no question about that," McGuigan said.
"If we were to believe what we believe, this is a very dangerous man.
"Someone has got to look out for this sport. They really need to look at this situation very carefully, because it's bloody dangerous."
The BBC expose lifts the lid on Kinahan's involvement in the sport. The exiled Dubliner had helped to set up boxing management firm MTK Global but it was claimed he had cut ties with the business last year.
Panorama alleges that is not the case, with lawyers for MTK issuing a statement to the programme confirming he still advises some of its fighters.
Lawyers for MTK Global told the programme: "It is true that Mr Kinahan provides some personal advice to a number of boxers managed by MTK Global and we are instructed that Mr Kinahan also provides such advisory services to boxers who are managed by other worldwide boxing management companies too."
However, Kinahan's lawyers told Panorama he had cut ties with MTK, and said he had no criminal convictions nor links to a violent cartel.
The programme begins after Kinahan's involvement at the top of boxing was highlighted last summer when he was name-checked by British fighter Tyson Fury.
The heavyweight boxer had praised Kinahan on social media in June 2020 for his help securing a showdown with Anthony Joshua.
In a video posted on Twitter, Fury said: "Big shout out Dan. He got this done, literally over the line, a two-fight deal; Tyson Fury Vs Anthony Joshua next year . . . Big thank you, Dan, for getting this deal over the line."
The revelation prompted then taoiseach Leo Varadkar to say that sports and media organisations should "have nothing to do with" a boxing match involving Kinahan.
Both BT Sports and Sky Sports appeared to distance themselves from the planned Fury-Joshua fights, after Varadkar's comments, with both saying they had no involvement in negotiations for any possible bouts.

A voting law package pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis was passed by the Florida Senate, creating a police unit dedicated to election crimes. In 2021, DeSantis proposed the need for the election of a police force after citing forms of unspecified allegations of election fraud following former President Donald Trump.
The Florida Senate's decision was made after a party-line vote, with a majority of Republicans in support of the bill. By implementing the voting law, the Department of State would create an Office of Election Crimes and Security. The voting law would make it a requirement for the governor to appoint a selective group of police officers from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to regulate election law violations.
The voting law that this legislation is derived from is approved by Florida's GOP-controlled legislature. DeSantis signed the voting law last year in 2021, implementing new rules pertaining to requesting a mail ballot and ballot drop boxes. Last year's voting law initiated a requirement of a state ID number, driver's license number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number to request a mail ballot.
Aside from providing a police unit, the GOP bill will also increase the penalty for collecting completed ballots from third party sources to a felony offense. Specific election law violations will experience an increase of fines from $1,000 to $50,000.
Election supervisors will be responsible for more effective maintenance of their voter lists, requiring them to conduct voter roll maintenance once a year, opposed to every other year.
"I think if the bill passes completely, it will hinder a great number of people from voting," said Adam Allen, CEO of Phi Entertainment LLC. "It will be a method for Republicans to randomly choose people of color to not vote."
Democrats are arguing that the Republican Party is utilizing the GOP bill as a measurement to satisfy republicans that suspected 2020 presidential votes to be fraudulent. Currently, state law allows the governor to appoint officers to investigate election crimes, however it is not a requirement of the state government.
The initial budget DeSantis envisioned for the department pertaining to election law violations included hiring 52 staff members for the office and a 5.7 million dollar budget.

Editor's Note: The address which follows was given by Secretary of Education William J. Bennett on October 22 to the Vietnamese League of Orange County, California. Acknowledging the impressive educational achievements of a new generation of Asian-American immigrants to the United States—and in particular the refugees from Vietnam—Dr. Bennett emphasized the crucial importance of the family in academic performance. The address is published here with the kind permission of Secretary Bennett.
Tonight, in this brief talk, I want to focus on the educational achievements of Asian-Americans; I wish to discuss some of the lessons which their achievements can teach the rest of us, and to talk a little about some of the obstacles which still stand in their way. Last but not least; I hope that you and I can get to know each other a little better this evening, and begin what I hope will become an ongoing conversation about the future of American education.
Let me start with a personal recollection: Shortly after becoming Secretary of Education, I participated in a White House ceremony honoring the 1985 National Teacher of the Year, a thirty-two year old high school history teacher named Therese Knecht Dozier. The National Teacher of the Year awards program is the most prestigious of its kind in the United States, and Mrs. Dozier, who had been chosen from among the nation's more than two and one-half million elementary and secondary school classroom teachers, was obviously a very remarkable young woman. Not the least remarkable thing about Mrs. Dozier is her background: Born in Saigon of a Vietnamese mother and German father, and orphaned as an infant, she had been sent to a French orphanage, and was eventually adopted by a U.S. Army officer. In fact, Mrs. Dozier and her brother are believed to be the first Vietnamese children adopted by Americans and brought to this country.
Upon receiving her Teacher of the Year Award, Mrs. Dozier explained that her Vietnamese background had a lot to do with her choice of a career in teaching. "I have always been very conscious of having been given a chance to make something of myself," she said. "I want to give that chance to others and to share the excitement of learning that I have always felt. Teaching is my way of repaying a debt."
Now, I know that it is very dangerous to generalize about any cultural group. And in the case of "Asian-Americans"—an umbrella term which actually covers over twenty nationalities, and countless ethnic identities, each with its own language and culture—generalizations are particularly hazardous. Nevertheless, it seems to me that Mrs. Dozier's remarks touched on a number of themes that reverberate throughout the Asian-American community: a love of learning, a love of the United States, a feeling of genuine gratitude for the freedom and opportunities that this country offers, and above all, a deep determination "to make something out of oneself."
And, indeed, Asian-Americans have made something of themselves. According to the 1980 census, Asians have the highest median family income of any group in the country: $23,600, compared to $20,800 for other American families. This in turn reflects the educational achievement of Asian-Americans: three quarters of Asian-Americans are high school graduates, and fully 35 percent of the Asian-Americans age 25 and older have graduated from college—more than twice the proportion of other Americans.
Indeed, it is in the area of education that Asian-Americans have made their most spectacular gains and have taught us the most profound lessons. At selective universities, for example, the proportion of Asian-Americans is extraordinarily high. Asian-Americans comprise 8 percent of the student body at Harvard, and 10 percent of its freshman class, up from 3 percent a decade ago. Here in California, Asian-Americans constitute 22 percent of all students at Berkeley, and 21 percent at UCLA.
Equally telling are the results of a three year study of some 1,400 Indochinese households conducted for the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. Now this study, directed by Professor Nathan Caplan of the University of Michigan, concentrated on the most recent Indochinese refugees who risked their lives to escape the persecutions afflicting their homelands. Collectively, these refugees are often referred to in the press as the "Boat People." Their escape—as I need hardly emphasize to members of this audience—was a truly fearsome and heroic ordeal. Literally adrift at sea, exposed to brutal pirate attacks and other cruel hardships, tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands of "Boat People" never made it to safety and today lie beneath the South China Sea—the victims of Communist oppression and tyranny. Still, more than 730,000 Indochinese refugees made it to this nation. The United States was proud to welcome them. The United States is proud to have them, as our newest immigrants—our newest citizens.
Unlike the more educated Vietnamese refugees who came to the United States in the immediate aftermath of Saigon's fall, the Boat People who arrived in this country had been farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, laborers and students in Southeast Asia. Arriving with little or no knowledge of English, with no savings or other resources, and with few marketable skills, the obstacles seemed insurmountable. "And yet," says Professor Caplan, "considering their hardships and all the odds against them, this group of immigrants has in fact demonstrated remarkable progress."
Nowhere has this progress been more remarkable than in the area of education. On national standardized tests of academic achievement, 27 percent of the refugee children scored in the 90th percentile on math achievement—almost three times better than the national average. And although they scored somewhat lower than the national average in English language proficiency, they outperformed their school-aged peers on general grade-point average, with 27 percent—more than a quarter—earning A or A- minus. Overall, their scholastic average was 3.05 on a 4.0 scale, or slightly above a B. As Professor Caplan observed, this is a truly remarkable achievement by any group—let alone by a group facing all the odds against them that this group faced.
How can the success of these immigrants, and of Asian-Americans in general, be explained? Clearly, many fashionable theories about educational and social achievement, theories which emphasize the deterministic role of class, of the environment, of material factors, of "society"—do not apply here. On the contrary, what I believe the success of Asian-Americans demonstrates is the importance of values—values which people carry with them in their heads and in their hearts, values which remain with them when their possessions are gone, and their homeland just a memory.
One such value, of particular significance in educational performance, is the existence of close ties between parents and children, and the willingness of parents to sacrifice for the sake of their children's education. At the Department of Education, we have been saying for some time now that in education, the parent is the child's most important teacher, even the indispensable teacher. There is by now a good deal of evidence, both statistical and anecdotal, which emphasizes the concern of Asian-American parents for their children's schooling. For example, a teacher at the Bronx High School of Science, a very selective school with a large proportion of Asian-American students, told of a conversation she once had with an Asian-American parent: "He said that when he was younger, he couldn't decide whether he should work in a restaurant or in laundry. He decided that when you work in a restaurant, you're away too many hours. 'If I work in a laundry,' he said, 'I can see my children and ask them: What did you learn in school today? Show me what you learned today.' He told me he'd gone to work in a laundry, and he said: 'I got a doctor; I get a lawyer.' " No one can be more deserving of tribute—of honor—than parents like this one.
Another story which makes much the same point concerns an Asian-American community residing in Riverdale, New York. School teachers and principals in Riverdale were surprised to discover that each Asian-American family was buying two sets of textbooks. After doing a little investigating, they found that one set was for the child and the second set was for the mother, who could better coach her child if she worked during the day to keep up with his lessons. These teachers said that children entering school in the fall with no English ability finished in the spring at the top of their classes in every subject.
Asian-American parents do not make these sacrifices simply so their children will do well materially. They do so out of a deep respect for learning. I am told that in Vietnam—when Vietnam was a free nation—it was the case that teachers were revered by both parents and children. They rank, I believe, just below kings, and above fathers, in the Confucian ethical system. When Vietnamese are asked to describe their culture, "love of learning" is a characteristic frequently mentioned.
For most Vietnamese, this emphasis on learning has been maintained in the United States. A 1983 study by the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington, D.C., noted that:
The Vietnamese students' respect for teachers is a very noticeable characteristic in a typical American school, as it promotes behavior which is in contrast to that of some American students. The Vietnamese students, in general, are well-behaved, quiet and polite in the classroom, and some of our interviewees reported being horrified at some of the behaviors of their fellow classmates, such as talking back to teachers, telling a teacher to "shut up," talking in class, and putting their feet on a desk.
Yet another Asian-American value which has a great deal to do with educational success is self-discipline, a willingness to do things the hard way, if that's what's required. A recent study prepared by Dr. Samuel Peng, of the Department of Education, demonstrated that Asian-American high school students spent considerably more time on homework than any other students. Dr. Peng's study also demonstrated that Asian-American students were less likely than other students to be absent from school and had higher educational aspirations than other students.
Of course, the virtues which characterize the Asian-American community, and account for its success—hard-work, self-discipline, perseverance, industry, respect for family, for learning and for country—are not confined to Asian-Americans alone. They are in fact traditional American virtues. These are values familiar to readers of Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography, or to generations of American school children who learned from McGuffey's Reader. They are the virtues preached down through the ages by the greatest Americans. Listen to the distinguished black American, Frederick Douglass, one hundred and thirty years ago: "What we want is character…. It is a thing we must get for ourselves. We must labor for it. It is gained by toil—hard toil…. It is attainable; but we must attain it, and attain it each for himself. I cannot for you, and you cannot for me." Today, Asian-Americans are reminding all of us of these fundamental truths.
So far, I have focused on the strengths of the Asian-American community. They are considerable, and remarkable. Let me now turn to some of the obstacles facing Asian-Americans in their attempt to succeed in American society.
Many of the problems Asian-Americans—and especially Southeast Asian refugees—face in this country have to do with the strain of social and psychological adjustment to a foreign culture, a foreign language and a foreign way of life. According to a 1980 study, for example, even after 5 years, 81 percent of Southeast Asian refugees still had serious concerns about being separated from missing family members; 67 percent had painful memories of the war and their departure from home; 59 percent were homesick; and 58 percent were worried about difficulties in communicating with those in the home country. That such concerns for loved ones left behind can affect a child's school performance is obvious. Thus, a teacher recently recounted a conversation she had with a Vietnamese girl in the third grade. The teacher wanted the girl to look at her while speaking, so she gently touched the girl's chin and raised her face. At that point, the child suddenly burst into tears. When the teacher asked the girl what she had done wrong, the child responded, "Nothing, your hand just felt like my mother's hand used to feel, and she's still in Vietnam."
There is little the government—or anyone—can do to relieve this sort of anguish. We can express our deepest sympathy, and our faith in the strong character of our newest immigrants. We recognize this loss, this pain. We grieve with their suffering. But there is another obstacle facing Asian-Americans, and other Americans too, that we can do something about. That is the need to attain English language skills.
We believe that the proposals recently advanced by this Administration to reform bilingual education will help in this regard. Under the current system, local school districts in dealing with the federal government often have little flexibility in responding to the particular needs of students whose home language is not English. If local school districts want to receive Federal assistance, they are virtually compelled to follow a particular method of instruction. The reforms which we are currently exploring with Congress will allow local school districts to choose the sort of program, or to design the combination of programs, best suited to the task of teaching their non-English speaking children English. For school districts serving recent Asian immigrants who speak a wide variety of languages, giving local school districts greater flexibility in designing their programs should enable Asian-American students to get more and better English language instruction. We are not retreating in our commitment to non-English speaking students. Rather we are acting to fulfill that commitment by giving local school authorities and parents the opportunity to do what works best for their children.
A final educational issue of concern to Asian-Americans is the issue of discrimination. For several years now, Asian student associations at Ivy League universities have cited admissions figures showing that a smaller percentage of Asian-American students than other applicants are being accepted. These figures might indicate that unofficial quotas are in effect in some universities limiting the number of Asian-American students. But the evidence is less than conclusive, and it is possible that factors other than anti-Asian discrimination are at work here. If, however, concrete evidence of quotas and anti-Asian discrimination does come to light, we will take the appropriate action to remedy the situation. Discrimination against Asian-Americans is as unacceptable as all other forms of racial or religious discrimination.
Let me conclude by referring once again to the Caplan study on the scholastic achievement of Southeast Asian refugee children. "The main reason for the success of these children," Professor Caplan writes, "appears to be due to the compatibility of what they bring with them—traditional cultural values, cohesive family structure, achievement orientation…—with the requirements for success in the United States. This may account for the rather rapid achievement of economic self-sufficiency by the parents, as well as the scholastic success of their children." These qualities—traditional values, strong families, an orientation toward achievement—are by no means exclusively Southeast Asian. They are in fact traditional American qualities. More important, they are universal qualities—universal prerequisites to the success of individuals and the well-being of a free society.
Our newest immigrants remind us of one additional point, as well: the tremendous burst of creative energy that is released when former victims of tyranny and oppression are presented with the very special opportunity which American society offers. For our free country offers the Opportunity, as Lincoln put it, of "an open field and a fair chance" for every American's "industry, enterprise and intelligence." Our country promises that we "may all have equal privileges in the race of life, with all its desirable human aspirations." Many Americans take this promise for granted. But perhaps because so many Asian-Americans have personal experience of the massive apparatus of repression, they may have a greater appreciation of the gift of freedom. And perhaps because of what they endured to become citizens of this nation, they bring with them a determination to make the best use of the opportunities America offers. Thus they struggle and sacrifice and work hard in order, as Mrs. Dozier put it, "to make something of themselves" and "repay a debt."
In doing this, Asian-Americans in fact put the rest of us in their debt. For they remind us of both the opportunities and the responsibilities of American citizenship. And they remind us—as Lincoln said—that a nation like ours "is worth fighting for, to secure such an inestimable jewel."

Spotify is being used by Swedish criminal gangs to launder money, according to nu.nl which in its turn picked up the news from Svenska Dagbladet.
A striking report on Dutch news website nu.nl, reporting that Swedish criminal gangs are abusing Spotify for money laundering. The ploy consists of deception, in which unknown Swedish rappers seem to achieve great success. With the emphasis on seem, because it's all fake. Telegram bots are used to make tracks by certain rappers look promising. Once successful, such a song appears on Spotify's top list. And from then on, the song – no matter how bad – is picked up by flesh-and-blood listeners. From that moment on, money is generated which flows directly to criminals. Although this trick is used in less than one percent of all streams, Spotify says it is working hard to fix it.
