Super Bowl 2024: The top 5 turning points in the 49ers' season
The San Francisco 49ers came into the season as the pick of many to win Super Bowl LVIII, and they didn't disappoint. They started the season 5-0, and while they did have a three-game losing streak, they were considered the best team in football for much of the season and had two dramatic playoff wins to advance to Las Vegas.
The 49ers had a fantastic season, and here were the five turning points on their way to Super Bowl LVIII:
[How to watch the Super Bowl: TV channels, streaming and mobile options]
49ers start hot
If there was any question about whether the 49ers could pick up where they left off before Brock Purdy injured his elbow in last season's NFC championship game, it took only a couple of minutes into the season to get an answer. The story of Week 1 was the 49ers' absolutely blasting the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team that would make the playoffs. The 49ers won 30-7.
If one moment in that opener announced that the 49ers weren't messing around this season, it might've been their marching right down on their opening drive and Purdy hitting Brandon Aiyuk for a touchdown. The 49ers went 54 yards on seven plays without any resistance. It was a statement just minutes into the season.

From opening weekend, the 49ers looked like a Super Bowl team.
49ers wreck Cowboys
If there was any question about the best team in the NFL by Week 5, the conversation shifted after the 49ers housed the Cowboys on "Sunday Night Football." San Francisco beat Dallas 42-10. The Cowboys would end up being the No. 2 seed in the NFC, but against the 49ers, they looked absolutely overmatched.
The 49ers made it look easy, and the highlight was a flea flicker that ended up in George Kittle's hands for a touchdown and a 14-0 lead.

That game also featured Kittle showing his T-shirt with an inappropriate slogan about the Cowboys, for which he was fined, but that moment also defined the 49ers' swagger for most of the season.
They moved to 5-0 and spent most of the season as the consensus No. 1 team in the league.
49ers end their losing streak
The 49ers lost three in a row in the middle of the season, which isn't unheard of for a future Super Bowl team, but it's uncommon. The 49ers had a bye after that losing streak and then traveled to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. San Francisco took a 13-3 lead at halftime, then early in the second half let it be known it would not be a close game when Brock Purdy hit George Kittle for a 66-yard score.

The 49ers won 34-3 and lost just twice the rest of the season (including the season finale in which they rested starters). The blowout of the Jaguars seemed to restore their confidence.
That touchdown to Kittle was also a highlight for Purdy, who steadily climbed in the MVP race over the season. Making that big-time throw under pressure showed that he was probably more than just a system quarterback.
Brock Purdy shows off his wheels
You can pick plenty of plays from the 49ers' game-winning drive against the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round, but let's highlight a key run from a player not known for his running ability. On second-and-10 at the Packers' 15, the 49ers needed some yardage. Third-and-10 in that spot would not have been great. Purdy escaped the rush, scrambled to his left and dove for a 9-yard run to set up a much more manageable third-and-1.
Christian McCaffrey scored on the next play to give San Francisco the lead, and the 49ers went on to win. Purdy's run didn't end up getting enough attention. But without it, the 49ers might not have advanced.
Brandon Aiyuk makes a miracle catch
It remains to be seen how Aiyuk's 51-yard catch in the NFC championship game will be remembered, but it's hard to remember a more fortunate catch in a big moment. You could try a million times to replicate the play and not have success: Purdy's deep pass went through Detroit Lions cornerback Kindle Vildor's hands, off his facemask and up in the air, allowing a trailing Aiyuk to make a circus catch. Maybe Aiyuk just needed that lucky ladybug.

The catch also caught the eye of the Sacramento Kings, who hilariously played a highlight of the catch on a loop as the Detroit Pistons' starting lineup was announced before a game in Sacramento.
There were plenty of turning points in the second half of the 49ers' incredible comeback, including a couple of fourth-down failures from the Lions. But if there's one play to remember, it's Aiyuk making a nearly impossible catch to keep the momentum going.

Becoming Whole; Becoming Holy – Br. Curtis Almquist

Saint Paul writes about our "sanctification" as if we would know what he is talking about. In the original Greek, the generic meaning of "sanctification" is "the state of proper functioning." To sanctify someone or something is to set that person or thing apart for the use intended by its designer. A well is "sanctified" when it is used as a source of water. A wineskin is "sanctified" when it is used to store wine. For us, eyeglasses are "sanctified" when used to improve sight. In the theological sense, things are "sanctified" when they are used for the purpose God intends. A human being is "sanctified" when they live according to God's unique design and purpose for their life.[i]
When we wake up each morning, we can presume God's presence, and power, and provision. We have been kept alive for as much as one more day to know God, and to love God, and to serve God as only we, uniquely, can do. [ii] We wake up each morning on a mission to bear the beams of God's light, and life, and love as only we, uniquely, can do. It's why we are still alive. Which turns life into such an amazing adventure. This is the core meaning of "sanctification": living our lives according to God's unique design and purpose for our life. Read More

Our lection this morning is one of three or four concentrated stories of healing in Matthew's gospel. Usually, they are considered together in context. But this morning we hear only one of these: two blind men following Jesus and crying loudly, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!" Jesus engages with them and asks, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They reply, "Yes, Lord." He then touches their eyes and says, "According to your faith let it be done to you."
For me, this story brings to mind a prayer which we find in the Rite I liturgy of the Eucharist in the Prayer Book. The Prayer of Humble Access[i], while beautifully worded in the archaic poetry of the Rite, evokes different feelings in people depending on their experience. Some find the language self-deprecating. Yet, others find in it inspiration. It begins: "We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table." Read More
Acts of Humble, Loving Service – Br. James Koester

Today's passage from Matthew's gospel, though brief, just four verses, is significant, because it captures some of the essential qualities and characteristics of God. In this encounter between Jesus and leper, we see again the nature of God, and God's desire for all humanity.
…a leper … came to [Jesus] and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean." [Jesus] stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose. Be made clean!" Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.[1]
What stands out for me this morning, is not only what is said, but also what is done, for Jesus stretched out his hand and touched the leper. While leprosy is contagious, it is not necessarily contracted through touch, as was once believed. That Jesus touched the leper, is significant, and in itself demonstrates something about God. In that one action, we see that nothing is beyond the touch and reach of God.
What is also significant is the dialogue. Lord, if you choose … I do choose….
The essential quality, characteristic, and nature of God is one of healing, wholeness, and life, for the God who in Jesus came that [we] may have life, and have it abundantly,[2] is the same God who reaches out and touches, saying I do choose. Be made clean.
Yet while it is God's nature to choose to reach out and touch us, our nature runs in the opposite direction, as we choose to hide, to turn our backs, and to reach out for what is forbidden. In our pride and arrogance, we choose to stretch out our hands, not to God, but to the forbidden fruit, thinking that by eating it, we will become like God.[3]
The paradox is that we become like God, not by stretching out our hands in pride, but by choosing to stretch them out in humility and loving service, just as did Jesus.
The fruit that makes us like God, is when we choose to stretch out our hands in loving service, touching the untouchable, and bringing to them the healing, health, wholeness, and life which God chooses and desires for all humanity.
This passage, though brief, is significant, because it reminds us what God is like, and what God desires for humanity: healing, health, wholeness, and life. In choosing to reach out and touch, Jesus invites us to do that same. When we do, we become like God, whose very life and nature is bound up in acts of humble, loving service.

I reckon that most people, reading this story for the first time, would find it quite strange. It certainly is unusual, and describes a scene most of us would never have imagined. We would likely attribute the man's condition to severe mental illness or trauma, rather than suspecting demons at work. Casting out demons – and sending them into a herd of swine – would be a very odd cure in our minds, and probably not one that we could imagine or recommend. The story is odd, but let's take a closer look at it to see what insights it might provide.
The gospel writers recorded the miracles of Jesus as evidence of his divine nature, and this story certainly reveals his amazing power. But one thing that sets it apart from other miracle stories is that it takes place in the country of the Gerasenes, and it involves people who were not Jews, as Jesus was. It is remarkable that Jesus would deliberately cross over the Sea of Galilee to reach this place and bring himself in contact with a person who was ritually impure, to say nothing of being possessed by evil spirits. But Jesus, as we know, had a habit of setting aside the religious laws and practices of his day in order to show compassion – which is what he does here. Read More

Russia fines Google $374 million for letting the truth about Ukraine be told
Putin declares he'll make his own Googles now, thanks
A Russian court fined Google $374 million on Monday for its failure to remove prohibited content, according to the country's internet watchdog Roskomnadzor.
The Tagansky District Court of Moscow took exception to YouTube content it claimed contained "fakes about the course of a special military operation in Ukraine" and discredited Russia's armed forces. The court also claimed some material promoted extremism and/or terrorism. Google also stands convicted an "indifferent attitude to the life and health of minors" that the court feels are worthy of protest by Russian citizens.
The court also alleged Google systemically violated Russian law.
As punishment, Google users will receive warnings of the company's alleged misdeeds, and won't be permitted to buy ads tied to Google Search results or on YouTube.
- Google Russia goes broke after bank account snatched
- Russian Debian-derivative Linux slinger plans IPO
- Dmitry Rogozin sacked as boss of Russian space agency Roscosmos
- Albanian government websites go dark after cyberattack
Roskomnadzor said the amount of the fine was "calculated on the basis of the company's annual Russian turnover."
Google has regularly received fines from Russia, including one for $1.2 million for similar offenses last month. In April Google was fined $138,000 for alleged Ukraine-related propaganda.
The Tagansky Court regularly issues fines to big tech firms for offenses like improper data storage.
However, most of those fines are vastly smaller than the $374 million levied on this occasion.
Speaking to government officials via video conference on Monday, Putin reportedly said Russia would have to develop its own domestic technology and tech firms as the country would not be reversing course on progress.
"Not just restrictions but the almost-complete closure of access to foreign high-tech products is being deliberately, intentionally used against our country," said Putin.
As for Google, it has mostly left Russia except for free services like Google search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Android and Play. It wound down operations and paused all ads back in March this year. The company was forced to file for bankruptcy after authorities seized its bank account in May and it could no longer pay its bills and staff.
Just how Moscow plans to extract $374 million from the company is unclear.
Theoretically, Google can appeal the court's verdict and fine. The Register has asked the company to comment on the matter.
While we wait for that response, we'll bask in the irony of this being a very rare occasion on which Google evading a government demand for money feels about right. ®

Are you a small business owner looking for ways to save money on your business tax return? One way to reduce the amount of taxes owed is to claim a tax deduction on all electronic devices purchased for your business, such as smartphones, computers, and tablets.
Virtually all electronic devices and technologies are tax deductible, including for contractors and home business owners. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows you to write off any electronic item you may use to manage or conduct your business operations.
Computer Tax Deductions
A self-employed contractor or small business owner can claim a laptop or desktop computer purchase as a tax deduction if more than 50% of the computer use is for business activities. But if the computer is mainly used to watch YouTube videos and play video games on Steam, you cannot claim the computer as a business expense for tax deduction purposes.
Computer accessories usually qualify as tax deductions if you use any of them for your business, such as scanners, printers, fax machines, etc. And if you use any software programs for your business, such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop, then you can claim those purchases as tax deductions.
Overall, the general rule is that you can claim a tax deduction for any computer or accessory used primarily for your business. In fact, you could even claim an educational software program as a business expense if the program helps train your employees or teaches you something to help you operate your business.
Tablet Tax Deductions
Do you use a tablet device like an Apple iPad to help run your business? If so, you can claim a tablet purchase as a tax deduction, just like a computer. The same rule applies where at least 50% of the tablet usage must be for your business, not personal. So if you bought the tablet to play video games, you could not claim it as a business expense for a tax deduction.
In addition, all the mobile apps you purchase for your tablet can be claimed as a deduction if they are used for business purposes, such as the Microsoft Office document viewer application. You can even claim tablet accessories as business expenses, such as connection cables, external keyboards, and carrying cases.
Smartphone Tax Deductions
Your smartphone is probably one of your greatest business assets because it allows you to communicate constantly with your employees and customers. Whether you use an Android or iPhone, you can claim your smartphone purchase and carrier service fees as business expenses on your business tax return.
Of course, the primary use of the smartphone must be for conducting business activities. The IRS requires that at least 60% of your smartphone usage be for business-related communications to claim it as a business expense. Making business-related phone calls or sending business-related text messages would qualify as business-related communications.
Try not to use your personal smartphone for business purposes because calculating the business usage percentage will get complicated. It is much easier to prove your smartphone is a business expense if you purchase a separate smartphone strictly for your business and nothing else. Otherwise, all the personal calls and text messages on your shared smartphone could raise red flags with the IRS if you claim the smartphone as a business expense.
Contact a Tax Professional for Further Guidance
Don't try to figure all of this out on your own.
As a small business owner or self-employed contractor, you should contact an accountant or tax advisor to help guide you on which tax deductions you are allowed to take.

Employment Law Litigation
When an employee has conflicts with his or her employer, the situation can be extremely distressing. Employees whose employers are mistreating them often wonder what rights they have, and employers often are faced with difficult questions regarding how to handle certain employees. Whether you are working to protect your career, or to keep your business functioning, you could find yourself needing to understand some crucial aspects of California employment law.
Workplace discrimination
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1967 made workplace discrimination illegal if it is based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, and genetic information. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act of 1959 (FEHA) also serves to prevent workplace sexual harassment and discrimination, but includes additional categories that are not included in Title VII.
FEHA made it illegal for private employers, public employers, employment agencies, and labor organizations to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, medical conditions, mental disabilities, marital status, gender, gender expression, gender identity, sex, age, sexual orientation, genetic information, and veteran or military status.
Failure to accommodate
Under FEHA, if an employee has a medical disability that limits his or her ability to perform major life activities, but that employee is still capable of performing the core functions of his or her job, then the employer must provide the employee with reasonable accommodations. If the employer fails to accommodate such an employee, then the employer is in violation of the statute and could be subject to legal action.
Retaliation and whistleblower protections
Employees often fear being retaliated against for reporting workplace discrimination, harassment, or other wrongful acts committed by their employer. California's labor code provides many protections for employees, including making it illegal for employers to take negative actions against an employee for asserting their constitutional rights when they are not at work, to take actions against an employee in retaliation for reporting a violation to the Labor Commissioner, retaliating against employees for taking time off to serve on jury duty, or to appear in court per a subpoena or court order. The code provides several other protections as well, such as protecting employees from retaliation for reporting safety violations at work, or for refusing to perform a task that would violate a safety regulation. Retaliation consists of negative actions taken against the reporting employee, including salary reductions, demotions, and increased workloads.
In addition to the labor code's other protections against retaliation, California's whistleblower laws protect employees in situations where the employee reasonably believes that the employer is in violation of a law, and therefore reports the employer to law enforcement or to a government agency.
California's employment laws include many additional protections and regulations. It is important for both employers and employees to understand their rights and responsibilities. If you have questions regarding California's labor laws, contact Maire & Deedon at 530-246-6050 to speak with an experienced employment law attorney.

Cohen and the opposite writers perceive that typically science is not morally cut-and-dry, particularly in situations the place the person processes are nonetheless of their infancy of being explored in our personal time. Genetic engineering will be abused and is doubtlessly very harmful, and there are many reveals and films that element the potential negatives, however "Futurama" identified that there are potential positives, too, like curing illness. Ultimately, the writers simply need to discover science and examine concepts as an alternative of being afraid of them, and that is actually honorable.
In fact, since there are a bunch of big-brained nerds within the author's room, meaning there are many math and science jokes hidden within the background, too. One which even I managed to determine was Studio1²2¹3³, as a result of these numbers find yourself totaling Studio 54. They made math jokes accessible to individuals with English levels, which could truly be a miracle.
"Futurama" is a improbable, funny series that is additionally surprisingly sensible, and that is as a result of Cohen and his writers clearly care.

Can You Hurt Your Baby In The Womb By Bending? is a common question that many women ask. Bending does not hurt your baby in the womb. Bending is a common activity during pregnancy. It's important for pregnant women to be able to move around, as this will help them stay healthy and comfortable. The most important thing to remember is that your baby is protected by the amniotic fluid that protects your baby in the womb acting as a sting wall between the baby and all that surrounds it.
Studies have not found any evidence that bending can hurt your baby in the womb. In fact, there is some evidence that bending can actually help your baby develop properly. When you bend, you are providing your baby with physical activity and movement. This can help ensure that their muscles and bones are developing correctly.
It's important to remember that nothing is 100% safe during pregnancy. However, based on the available evidence, it seems unlikely that bending can cause any harm to your baby in the womb.

Is Bending Down Bad When Pregnant?
When pregnant, it is important to be aware of your body and how you can injure yourself. One common injury that pregnant women can suffer is when they bend over too far. This can cause a strain on the back, neck, and spine. Additionally, it can also be dangerous for the baby if the mother falls while carrying him or her.
Can I Squish My Baby When Bending Over?
When pregnant, many women worry about potential dangers to their unborn children. Some of these dangers include being squished by a door or falling down stairs. One concern that many pregnant women have is whether or not they can hurt their baby in the womb by bending over.
It is important to note that there is no evidence to suggest that any position during pregnancy can cause harm to the baby, including bending over. However, it is always best to consult with a healthcare provider before doing anything that may be risky for your baby.
Bending During The First Trimester Of Pregnancy:
When pregnant women bend, they may be putting their unborn child at risk. A study published in the journal "Emergency Medicine Australasia" in 2009 found that as many as one-third of pregnant women in the first trimester could injure their baby when bending forward. It is very important for pregnant women to stay upright and avoid any sudden, forceful movements during this time.
Bending During The Third Trimester Of Pregnancy:
The potential risks posed by bending during the third trimester of pregnancy vary depending on a woman's individual situation. However, some experts believe that bending too much could potentially cause harm to a developing baby in the womb.
This is because pregnant women tend to bend more frequently than usual in the third trimester due to increased movement from the baby and increased abdominal pressure.
Is It Safe To Bend Over In The Last Trimester Of Pregnancy?
Bending over can be harmful to a pregnant woman if she is in the last trimester of her pregnancy. When a woman is in the last trimester, her baby is very vulnerable to injury. Not only can bending over cause damage to the baby's spine, but it can also cause miscarriage.
What Is Fetal Movement?
When pregnant women bend, they are not harming their babies. In fact, fetal movement is a sign of healthy pregnancy. Fetal movements increase as the fetus grows and becomes more active. When a pregnant woman bends, she is providing her baby with the best possible environment for growth and development.
What Causes Fetal Movement?
Fetal movement is a normal process that occurs in the womb during early development. Fetal movement can be caused by factors like stress, anxiety, and pain. Some women feel a sense of Movement when their baby is moving around, but many women don't.
There are many ways to prevent or reduce fetal movement, including using birth control methods like condoms or birth control pills; getting regular prenatal care; and avoiding stressful situations.
Is Bending During Pregnancy Safe?
Bending during pregnancy is a common activity that many women enjoy. However, there are some precautions that should be taken in order to ensure that the mother and baby are safe.
Most importantly, it is essential to always use caution when bending because even slight movements can cause serious damage to the womb. In general, pregnant women should stay as upright as possible when performing any activities that may involve bending or stretching.
How Safe Is It To Bend During Pregnancy?
Bending during pregnancy can be dangerous to both the mother and her baby. In fact, it is considered one of the top ten safest things a woman can do during her pregnancy. Here are a few reasons why:
- 1) Bending can cause your back to curve in an unnatural way, which can lead to back pain or spinal cord compression.
- 2) It's important to keep your core muscles strong so that they will help support your spine if you were to twist or bend too much. Weak core muscles may not be able to hold up under the strain, putting both you and your baby at risk.
- 3) Pregnant women should avoid any activity that puts them at risk of falling, this includes bending over. If you do have to bend down or kneel, make sure you use a supportive cushion or prop underneath you so that you don't put unnecessary stress on your back or knees.
- 4) Standing up after bending also poses a risk for pregnant women. When women stand up after bending, their abdominal muscles may contract quickly and forcefully, leading to labor complications like premature delivery or low birth weight.
Reasons To Avoid Bending in the Third Trimester
There are many reasons why pregnant women should avoid bending or stretching their bodies in the third trimester. The potential for harm to the developing baby is great.
1. The Risk of Falling and Tripping
When pregnant, it is important to be aware of potential dangers that may occur while performing everyday activities. One such danger is falling and tripping. Falling can cause injuries to both you and your unborn child, including the potential for a miscarriage or stillbirth.
2. The Risk of Feeling Dizzy
There is always a risk when bending over, as it can lead to feeling dizzy. If you feel like you are about to faint, then stay seated or move to a sitting area until the feeling goes away. If you have any concerns about your health, please contact your doctor.
3. Heartburn and Stomach Pain as a Result of Bending Over
Bending over can also cause stomach pain and heartburn. If you experience either of these symptoms after bending over, avoid doing so for the rest of your pregnancy and stay upright as much as possible. If the symptoms persist, contact your doctor.
4. The Danger of Lifting Heavy Objects Twice a Day
Lifting heavy objects twice a day is another common activity that can be dangerous during pregnancy. This is because the weight of the object can put stress on your back, which could lead to premature labor or delivery.
5. The Danger of Sleeping on Your Side During Pregnancy
Sleeping on your side during pregnancy puts added pressure on your bladder, which may increase your risk for urinary incontinence later in life. To avoid this problem, sleep on your back or in a tilted position instead.
6. The Risk of Back Pain
There is a lot of back pain in the United States, and it's not just a problem for adults. Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, affecting around 350 million people globally. It can be caused by a number of factors, including age, injury, obesity, and genetics.
Back pain can be really debilitating. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic conditions like sciatica or spinal stenosis, which can make everyday activities incredibly difficult.
Conclusion: Can You Hurt Your Baby In The Womb By Bending?
You can definitely hurt your baby in the womb by bending. However, there are also some risks associated with hitting your baby in the womb. It is important to weigh the pros and cons before making any decisions.
Many women are curious if they can hurt their baby in the womb by bending. The answer is yes, you can hurt your baby if you are bending too much.

Liberals love them some crooks.
Seven key developments in the Biden family business scandal have come to light in 2022. The scandal, suppressed by the intelligence agencies and establishment media dating back to 2020, became one of the major storylines of the year.
Since 2018, the DOJ has reportedly been investigating Hunter for alleged tax and gun violations. Hunter has yet to be charged with wrongdoing.
1) U.S. Banks Flagged Over 150 Suspicious Financial Transactions from Biden Family
In April, U.S. banks flagged over 150 suspicious financial transactions from Hunter and James Biden, according to CBS News. The wire transfers included "large" amounts of money tripped for further review by American banks.
Wire transfers have been the tool of choice for money launderers. To mitigate the risks to the financial institutions, suspicious wire transfers over $10,000 are flagged for review. Wire transactions involving more than $10,000 are also to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
"The focus is on day one are those bank violations and those bank records," Rep. James Comer (R-KY) told Breitbart News. "We are pretty confident in what we're going to find in those. We have two bank violations. We have some bank statements in hand, and we believe that suspicious activity reports, which are bank violations when the bank notifies the federal government that we're pretty confident that our client has committed a crime, Hunter Biden and Jim Biden have at least 150 of those. And I've said this before, and I come from a strong banking background, I don't think there's anyone in the history of the United States that's had that many suspicious activity reports."
2) Joe Biden Met with Hunter's Business Partner at White House
News broke in April that Hunter's closest business partner Eric Schwerin made at least 19 visits to the White House and other official locations from 2009 to 2015, according to visitor logs from the White House. Schwerin also reportedly met with then-Vice President Joe Biden in the White House.
The meetings contradict Joe Biden's statement that he has not been involved in the Biden family business schemes. In fact, a total of seven times Joe Biden and his team have deflected or denied involvement in the family business. "I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings," Joe Biden said.

Init-related ideas BoF submitted for Debcamp
Ok, so it just seems like a hot topic - I just submitted a BoF for Debcamp to talk about the init-related ideas we've been discussing. As Debconf's Pentabarf conference management system does not like disclosing talk details before the talks are accepted, I'll reproduce here my short blurb:
This BoF comes out from several ideas posted in Planet Debian by Erich Schubert, Sven Müller, Joachim Breitner, Mike Homey and myself (so far). It's not to be "chaired" by any of us particularly, but I expect an interesting brainstorming session.
There are several different init systems present in Debian - However, we are only supporting currently one of them, good ol' sysv-rc - We have close to a thousand packages providing init scripts suitable for it, and close to none for all of the other systems.
In current systems, full of hot-pluggable devices, changing network configurations and so on, however, I think this situation is quite prone to change - sysv-rc and its runlevels are better suited for stable server-like systems, and is hard to adapt for future needs.
We will talk about the potential difficulties Debian will face in order to better support more init schemes, and discuss some ideas to solve them.
This should be a brainstorming session, not much material will be prepared (maybe some sketches by each of us, but nothing formal). If you plan on attending, take a look at the messages linked to in the 'links' section.
Note that, following Nomeata's suggestion, I'm presenting this for Debcamp - If you are not attending Debcamp and are interested, we will try to set this up via some sort of videoconferencing (or at least the usual video feed + IRC feedback), and I do hope we can have something showable (at least a broken concept) after Debconf.
In not-so-closely-related topics, I just learnt there is a shadow of doubt regarding my presence in Edinburgh - I will do my best to dispell the threat. I just don't want to miss a Debconf!
Joe User 2007-04-17 18:40:41
Re: Init-related ideas BoF submitted for Debcamp
Perhaps you could take a look at replacing cron at the same time? Vixie cron has been dead for 15 years and Debian uses some serious voodoo to animate the corpse. Integrating the init system and scheduler seems to make a lot a sense.
Sven Müller 2007-04-18 05:50:39
Re: Init-related ideas BoF submitted for Debcamp
Hi Gunnar.
Unfortunately, I won't be in Edinburg unless some miracle happens. Some sort of online conferencing or a video feed and IRC feedback would be welcomed though.
Regards, Sven
PS: I will probably take the two init-script bearing packages I (co-)maintain and try to create a working prototype for the generation of sysv-init scripts and perhaps someone would like to joing me and do the runit (or other dependency or event based init) part. But I fear this won't happen in the very near future.

PARIS, January 24, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) -"30 ans ça suffit ! (Thirty years is enough!) is the cry of a group marching through Paris promoting life and family values against the tidal wave of abortion and secularism in France. The group has sponsored its second march for life that attracted 10,000 participants according to police estimates.
France has lost 6 million children to abortion since its legalization 31 years ago. Demonstrators chanted slogans, "Yes to life" and "Give life rights."
The French march for life, as those of Canada and the US, attracted large numbers of young people who have lived with legalized abortion their entire lives. In addition to the French, youth from Spain, Belgium and Germany, representing the four most secularized countries in formerly Catholic Europe, filled the streets of Paris with pro-life chants.
France, Belgium, Spain and Germany rival each other for the lowest birthrates and church attendance in Western Europe outside Scandinavia and the former Soviet bloc. Population experts are waking up to the danger of demographic collapse in Europe.
Ronald Inglehart, director of the World Values Survey said to USA Today in December, "The biggest single consequence of the declining role of the church is the huge decline in fertility rates."
The website of 30 ans ça suffit includes information about the abortifacient nature of the hormonal birth control pill and the humanity of the embryo.

Our Ecosystem at Risk
A student's study of bacteria in water suggests low levels of antibiotics could have an outsized impact
In early fall 2015, Corliss Kanazawa crouched at the edge of Hall's Pond in Brookline, Massachusetts, and skimmed a test tube along the surface. Her shoes sloshing, Kanazawa ('16, SAR'18) took the sample back to a lab at the College of General Studies, where she is scrutinizing the pond's tiniest residents—the bacteria—to learn how antibiotics may alter the ecology of our water.
Early results of her study, conducted with natural sciences lecturer Sandra Buerger (CAS'00) as part of a grant for undergraduate research from the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching & Learning at CGS, suggest low levels of antibiotics could affect the types of bacteria that thrive in ecosystems like Hall's Pond.
Researchers believe the quantity of antibiotics that end up in the world's water—whether flushed by careless consumers or excreted by overmedicated livestock—is relatively small. But consider the organisms like amoebae that feed on bacteria in ponds, then the bigger organisms—such as water fleas and mussels—that rely on their smaller cousins for nutrition, all the way up to the big fish at the top of the chain. Remove just one species of bacteria or multiply another and the entire food chain begins to break down or change. Now consider the water you drink: Buerger says if low levels of antibiotics damage ecosystems, they could also negatively impact the helpful bacteria in our guts that aid digestion and prevent disease.
In the lab, Kanazawa worked with three samples of water: the one from Hall's Pond and two taken by Buerger at a marine location. Her first step was to shake the samples using a vortex mixer to separate the bacteria from the sand grains. Then, Kanazawa helped Buerger dilute the bacteria with a sterile solution—without the dilution, the bacteria would form so thickly they'd be nearly impossible to count—and spread them on two sets of petri dishes.
They left one set of dishes untouched; to the other they added low levels—just 25 microliters—of antibiotics in order to re-create the conditions found in the natural environment. Buerger notes that if a natural environment is constantly bombarded with high levels of antibiotics, its bacteria begin to fight back, adapting to become resistant to them. The lower levels of antibiotics in most bodies of water probably "wouldn't influence antibiotic resistance to such a high degree," she says, but they are likely having some effect. She and Kanazawa want to know what that effect is.
Kanazawa returned to the lab every week to count the growing bacteria, noting their number and variety to determine how they were reacting—or not—to the antibiotics. There was a lot of tallying to be done. She counted about 1,000 colonies—each a visible group of thousands of bacteria cells that grew from one single-celled organism—on a petri dish smeared with a sample from Hall's Pond. Not exactly flashy work, but it did afford Kanazawa her biggest research lesson.
"Patience. It's not something that happens quickly—you can't get the results in a day," she says. "It's a process and you have to be more problem-oriented instead of method-oriented; you can't just go from here to here, you have to see the causes and effects." Until they're involved in research, students may have only conducted experiments that followed a prescribed set of steps to a conclusion most may have already guessed—or Googled.
In the process of counting bacteria, Kanazawa and her mentor found that adding the antibiotics to the samples increased the number of different types of bacteria colonies in the petri dishes. Buerger speculates that could mean the antibiotics are acting as signaling molecules. In the higher concentrations used in prescribed medicines, antibiotics are prized for their ability to disrupt a bacteria's capacity to grow or repair itself, but scientists have speculated they might play a different role at lower levels, perhaps transmitting messages (such as, "Grow! Grow!") to the bacteria cells.
That would be significant, and what they found could help scientists in the long run. The majority of bacteria that researchers take from the environment into a lab refuse to grow on petri dishes, a problem they call the Great Plate Count Anomaly. Buerger says there can be millions of bacteria in a gram of soil; even if researchers successfully get 10,000 of those bacteria to grow in the lab (still a lot to count—hence Kanazawa's sample dilution), that's a recovery rate of below one percent. If low levels of antibiotics can help some of those bacteria grow indoors, says Buerger, it could help scientists solve the great anomaly and identify new bacteria. It's possible, Buerger adds, that some of those novel bacteria could be used to "produce antibiotics for human health," but that would be another couple of studies down the line.
With preliminary results in, Buerger and Kanazawa plan to scale their experiment up, collecting water from different locations.
You may still be contemplating the low levels of antibiotics that could be floating around in your drinking water. Buerger says you can take action now by educating yourself on how antibiotics are used in farm animals and shopping accordingly—multiple estimates have at least half of all antibiotics in America used in food production—and by "disposing of your antibiotics appropriately" (visit the US Drug Enforcement Agency to find an authorized collection point near you).
Kanazawa will soon be an expert on antibiotic use—and in a position to prevent their misuse. Her goal is to major in health sciences and head to medical school.

S. Craig Zahler talks The Brigands of Rattlecreek
James R | On 21, Aug 2019
S. Craig Zahler has given an update on The Brigands of Rattlecreek.
The violent Western has been in gestation for years, with the original script from the Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99 director on the Black List back in 2006. The film is understood to follow a sheriff and a doctor, who are on a quest of revenge against a group of bandits who use the cover of a storm to rob the occupants of a small town.
Amazon Studios picked up the project earlier this year, with Park Chan-Wook set to direct. While the prospect of the Oldboy helmer and Zahler teaming up was enough to spark excitement among fans, though, Zahler has now said that he's not in the loop on the project and that the script has been rewritten to some degree.
"I've been cut out of that loop for a really long time," he told VODzilla.co during an interview about Dragged Across Concrete. I saw some version of it that was some of the script I wrote, and some of a script that had been rewritten. I didn't understand or like a lot of the changes. But we'll see where it lands."
"He's very interesting visually," he added of Chan-wook, "but it's tough when you create a world and a story and a bunch of characters and then someone else is giving them new dialogue and new actions to do. It just doesn't feel authentic."
"Anyone in the world would be more objective to what that piece is than I would," he continued. "For me, if you put a wrong hand gesture for a character… what I do as a director is try to find everything that's authentic. So as the creator of the characters to watch anyone take them in a different direction is probably not going feel true to what I originally conceived."
Park Chan-wook and S. Craig Zahler team up for Amazon's Brigands of Rattlecreek
16th March 2019
Park Chan-wook is teaming up with S. Craig Zahler for his latest project, The Brigands of Rattlecreek.
The South Korean director of Oldboy and Thirst fame was reportedly attached to the violent Western several years ago, with the script on the Black List of unproduced screenplays as far back as 2006. Now, the project is finally moving ahead. While the notion of the Bone Tomahawk (pictured) and Brawl in Cell Block 99 writer and director partnering with the genre legend is mouth-watering enough, the other notable partnership behind the ultraviolent film is that of Park and Amazon Studios.
Amazon acquired the US rights to the director's completed last film, The Handmaiden, and now, has stepped in to pick up The Brigands, after its long period of gestation. The film follows a Sheriff and a doctor, who are on a quest of revenge against a group of bandits who use the cover of a storm to rob the occupants of a small town.
Shutter Island's Bradley Fischer will produce the film, alongside Park Chan-wook's collaborator, Wonjo Jeong, who also produced The Little Drummer Girl, Chan-wook's BBC and AMC series based on the John Le Carre book. Further details beyond that aren't currently known, and Amazon hasn't officially commented on the news from Collider, but Matthew McConaughey is reportedly being courted to play the doctor, alongside another A-List name as the Sheriff. That is also far from certain, although McConaughey is no stranger to dark projects, with his turn in Killer Joe attracting a lot of acclaim.
Chan-wook, of course, is also not adverse to ultraviolence, with Oldboy joined by Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance in his revenge trilogy. The prospect of him and Amazon, a studio known for its creative freedom, pairing up for a full-blown project, not least one penned by Zahler, is certainly something to anticipate.

Chen Shui-bian defies Bush's warning ( 2003-12-10 16:11) (chinadaily.com.cn) Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian vowed Wednesday to proceed with a referendum on relations with the Chinese mainland next March despite pressure to shelve the vote from the White House, which issued an unprecedented rebuke of Chen, the Washington Post reported. Chen, in a meeting with US Representative Republican Dan Burton, said Taiwan was committed to moving ahead with the referendum on March 20, 2004, the day Taiwanese will vote in a "presidential" election, according to James Huang, Chen's spokesman. The referendum would demand that Beijing withdraw all missiles aimed at Taiwan and renounce the use of force against the island. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao told US President George W. Bush in the White House on Tuesday that China will stick to peaceful means to seek reunification as long as "there is a glimmer of hope.'' Wen is on an official visit to the United States. Beijing has long been warning that a war will certainly break out if Chen Shui-bian dares to announce independence. Since Chen Shui-bian planned to conduct the referendum in October, tens of thousands of Chinese readers have bombarded him in the popular website chatrooms, including sina.com and sohu.com, supporting Beijing's hardline policy. Wen told Bush that Chen's attempt to resort to referenda of various kinds as an excuse to pursue Taiwan independence, which China and Chinese people cannot tolerate. President Bush said that he opposed the referendum plan and that it appeared Chen wanted to change the nature of the relationship between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland. The US Government "opposes any unilateral decision'' by either sides of Taiwan Straits "to change the status quo, and the comments and actions made by the leader of Taiwan indicate that he may be willing to make decisions unilaterally to change the status quo, which we oppose,'' said Bush. Chen's remarks to go on with the referendum place Taiwan squarely in conflict with the United States and could spark a crisis that would hurt Taiwan's relations with its most powerful backer, the Washington Post said. The rebuke from Bush also puts Chen in a difficult position and could hurt his chances for reelection, the newspaper said. Chen is running a tight race against Lien Chan, the Nationalist Party candidate, whom he beat in 2000. Michael Swaine, of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, said White House criticism of Chen amounted to the most serious diplomatic crisis for Taiwan since 1979, when the United States broke ties with Taipei and established formal diplomatic relations with Beijing. Relations between Taiwan and the mainland have deteriorated following moves by Chen that analysts said were designed to boost his prospects at the polls by antagonizing Beijing. Su Chi, a top Nationalist Party adviser to Lien, said he was not surprised Chen planned to push ahead with the referendum despite US opposition. Su said Chen Shui-bian was motivated by desperation because he was slipping in the polls. "We think this is a dangerous strategy because it invites intervention" from the United States and from Beijing, he said. "We want neither."

Almost 100 new homes could be built on farmland in a Norfolk town, despite concern about extra pressure on the NHS and schools.
Cripps Development Ltd is looking to secure planning permission for 89 new homes on 7.8 acres of land to the north of Spirketts Lane in Harleston.
The Beccles-based developer lodged plans for what it describes as a "high-quality landscape and design-led sustainable scheme" with South Norfolk Council last summer.
And next week, members of the council's planning committee will decide whether or not to grant permission for the houses.
The proposed homes would be a mixture of houses, flats and bungalows, ranging from one to four bedrooms.
The bulk of the homes would be available on the open market, but 30 would be affordable homes - provided at below-market prices to households who cannot afford to buy or rent a home which suits their needs.

Planning officers are recommending approval, despite concerns about traffic and whether schools and the doctors' surgery will cope with more families in Harleston.
Harleston Town Council had objected to the proposals, saying the developer should have to put money into local healthcare and for education provision.

The town council also feared the development would lead to extra traffic on nearby roads, including Spirketts Lane and Mendham Lane.
However, officers, in the report which will come before councillors, said the NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board, had claimed Harleston Medical Practice had capacity for extra patients and no contribution for expansion was needed.
Officers said there is capacity in the town's nursery and primary schools, but community infrastructure levy money - a charge levied on developers - would be used to help provide a dozen extra spaces for secondary school pupils.
The planning committee will make a decision when it meets next Monday.

Final Disclaimer and Instructions from steamunlocked
steamunlocked. One is a platform to download all your favorite games on Steam without the cost. Many anti-virus programs detect game files as a "virus" because the game files contained cracked files that make the game run. A lot of these anti-virus companies get paid to do this, that way you buy the game instead. To prevent this, disable your anti-virus, then re-extract the .zip file and the game will run. Every game on this site was tested on our own computers, so you can be assured that it's not a real virus. Anything your A.V may tell you is a false positive. 99% of the time, the errors come from missing programs. Check for a Redist or _CommonRedist folder, and be sure to install all the required software in those folders: DirectX, vcredist, DotNet, etc. Another useful tip is to disable any form of anti-virus programs AND windows defender if the game doesn't run. Usually, you don't need to do this, but some AV detects the game files as a "crack" and remove them.

Rules for the new normal
No financial support to set up a workstation, no contribution to additional heating and electricity costs - this is true for the vast majority of employees who did their job in the home office during the pandemic (91 percent). Nearly one in two home office workers (48 percent) also had to use personal devices to get their tasks done, their own laptop, cell phone or tablet.
These are the findings of the Index Gute Arbeit 2021, a representative survey conducted once a year by the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB). The report, which was published on Monday, deals with the working conditions in the Corona pandemic and its consequences for the job world of tomorrow - from the perspective of the employees. 6400 dependent employees were surveyed for this purpose from January to June. "The results are not only a stocktaking of an exceptional situation, they also show the requirements for shaping the work of the future," said DGB Chairman Reiner Hoffmann.
About one in three workers have worked from home very often since March 2020, according to the report, and one in twelve "often." Nearly one in three workers who could not work from home said they felt a very high or high degree of burden from infection control measures. Most notably, educators, secondary school teachers, and geriatric nurses said this.
The "new normal" is primarily digital
The advent of digital tools such as video conferencing, collaboration platforms and the home office have led to a "new normal," Hoffmann explained, but one that still needs to be regulated. "Beyond the crisis, there is a need for standards of good work, a strengthening of co-determination, and modern occupational health and safety for mobile working," Hoffman explained.
Company agreements lead to more co-determination
Because the survey also revealed that more than one in three employees who also did work at home (36 percent) said that their employer had no company agreements on home office. At employers who did have rules in place, employees had more influence on the organization of their working hours. They were less likely to have to be constantly available or work longer hours without pay.

8 Signs: Your Partner Is Losing Interest In You
A relationship is like chewing gum. The sweetness in the beginning gradually declines with time. This stage is very common in today's relationships. Here are some points for reference that will let you know about your partner's losing interest in you.
1. Dearth of spark
When your partner is physically present with you but not mentally. It is similar to a kid who is physically present in the classroom for attendance but mentally busy with the stuff that attracts him/her more than the lectures.
For instance: When you meet your partner, they spend most of their time either scrolling feeds or chatting with their friends.
2. Lack of initiative
They don't initiate any communications with you. Mere Replies to your messages wouldn't be counted as good communication.
For instance: You are the one who always asks to meet, texts good morning/ night messages, call them, starts any conversation, and your partner just responds to your messages.
3. Hides Relationship status
If they don't like to introduce you to their friends or family. This simply means they are not sure about you.
For instance: They pretend to be single in front of their friends and hide their relationship status from people, especially from a guy in case of a girlfriend or from a girl in case of a boyfriend.
4. Demands Privacy all time
There is a difference between space and privacy. Space means their me-time but privacy involves secrets. While in relationships, there is no space for secrets. If they demand privacy all time, it means something is fishy.
For instance: when you touch their phone, they become angry or when you ask for passwords they make lame excuses, or they avoid you and don't bother about clearing your doubts or concerns about your feelings.
5. Avoids making any future plans
Every couple makes future plans in short do moon-shine talks about their marriage, destination honeymoons, photoshoots, trips, interior decorations, etc. For a long-lasting and spark in relationship, every couple must have some couple goals.
For instance- Your partner avoids any conversations related to marriage or makes any future plans in which you are included.
6. No sacrifices
Relation needs efforts in a similar way to a seed that needs care and endeavor to grow. A healthy relationship needs more sacrifices than love. Sacrificing doesn't mean neglecting your feelings for the happiness of your partner, it just means sacrificing some precious time for each other or setting aside your ego. But if they stopped putting effort that means in nearly future, they will give up on the relationship.
For instance: They make silly excuses for not being able to meet, text, or call you. Pretends to be busy for you but hanging out with friends, sleeping or doing other unimportant kinds of stuff.
7. No Questions
The one who likes you is always curious to know about you, your family, your friends, your lifestyle, your future plans, your day, your hobbies, your likes/dislikes, etc.
For instance: If he/she never asks anything about you or your interests, then it's a red flag for his/her lack of interest in you.
8. No Jealousy
The person who truly loves you will always be insecure about your closeness with any other guy/girl. Jealousy is the first sign of true love. If your partner is not possessive of you then he/she is not serious about you.
For instance: Your partner doesn't bother about with whom you hang out, chat or post stuffs.
