After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr. Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There, two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine. This edition uses the text as it appeared in its first serial publication in 1859 to convey the full scope of Dickens's vision, and includes the original illustrations by H.K. Browne ('Phiz'). Richard Maxwell's introduction discusses the intricate interweaving of epic drama with personal tragedy.

For a new feature in Interview Magazine, Lana Del Rey sat down with Grimes to talk about her upcoming album, the internet, and "outrage culture." The discussion is as ripe with notable quotes and discussion-worthy interactions as you would expect — including an interesting Jeffrey Epstein theory.
This isn't the first time the two pop stars have interacted. They toured together back in 2015, so they're already well acquainted with one another — but circumstances have changed quite a bit for both of them in the last four years. In the interview, they catch up on all of their latest happenings, including Del Rey's excellent album Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Grimes' upcoming record Miss_Anthrop0cene, and all the ways "outrage culture" feeds into their careers.
When asked if the songs on her new album "are more personal" or have "the overculture weighing on them," Grimes responded by saying she's "obsessed" with polytheism. "I love how the ancient Greeks or the ancient Egyptians lived in this weird anime world where there were just tons of gods that could be anything," said Grimes. "It's like every form of suffering had a representation." She added that religions is "like the best science fiction." Decide for yourself how prevalent those themes are when revisiting her recent singles "Violence", "My Name is Dark", and "So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth".
(Read: Top 50 Albums of 2019)
Del Rey and Grimes also went on to talk about making art as they age, writing long-form autobiographies, their favorite baby names (LDR suggests "Maria Estela" or "Ivory Cricket"), Grimes' nickname for Elon Musk ("E" to match Grimes' new name "c"), and The OA co-creator Brit Marling, who eventually took over to interview Grimes. When Marling joined in, the discussion shifted to (no surprise) artificial intelligence, which Grimes believes will make live music "obsolete."
Perhaps most interestingly, the artificial intelligence topic somehow compelled Grimes to share her personal theory on Jeffrey Epstein:
"There will eventually be a sentient technology that… can make anyone do whatever it wants, Jeffrey Epstein-style. My theory on Epstein is that he had tapes of people with underage girls, and that's how he was getting all this stuff from all these people. Someone gave him a house and a plane. It's like, 'What the fuck?' It reeks of deep blackmail to me. If you have everybody's stuff, you can control the world. It seems a lot easier than a violent takeover. If I'm an AI, do I hold everyone hostage with nuclear bombs, or do I just blackmail everyone? Killing a lot of people seems hard."
(Read: Lana Del Rey Shines Through an American Fog on Norman Fucking Rockwell!)
All of this nonsense almost makes it hard to remember the previous releases that made Del Rey and Grimes famous. Thankfully, those still hold up, which is why they appeared on our lists of the Top 100 Albums, Top 100 Songs, Top 25 Pop Albums, and Top 25 Pop Songs of the decade — even if Grimes thinks Art Angels is a "piece of crap".
Luckily, you can still catch Del Rey perform her newest Rockwell songs live on tour. Grab tickets to all of her upcoming concerts here.

introibo ad altare dei
The twentieth century began in Dublin on thursday 16 of June 1904, when stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. That was, of course, the very first sentence of the most important novel ever written.
The twentieth century ended on saturday 4 of august 2012, when speaking to Brazilian newspaper, Paolo Coelho said: "Today, writers want to impress other writers. One of the books that caused great harm was James Joyce's Ulysses, which is pure style. There is nothing there. Stripped down, Ulysses is a tweet." And he also said: "I'm a modern writer because I make the difficult seem easy". He makes difficult seem easy….
And here is the twenty-first century, the era of global blunting and the reign of idiots, their long-awaited time: the golden age of the average, the marginalized majority who finally got the historic opportunity to be heard and to judge. Pressed with imposed shame for centuries, that majority is now free to finally say that Joyce is complicated and incomprehensible as incomprehensible is everything more complex than the form of status on some social network.
So, here we go again:
"Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him on the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: ________ "
What did Buck Mulligan intone?
a) "Introibo ad altare Dei."
b) "Paulo who?"
c) "Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find treasure."
Paulo Coelho has 5,554,877 followers on Twitter, but I prefer this Paulo Coehlo than real Coelho anyway: https://twitter.com/PauloCoehlo
ps. I have to admit that once I was given The Alchemist to read by a friend. What an alchemy it was, if by that you mean turning perfectly good ink and paper into undiluted shit.

Former Peruvian President Alan García, under investigation in a corruption scandal, reportedly shot himself early Tuesday as police arrived at his home. (Guadalupe Pardo/Reuters)
LIMA, Peru — Alan García, the former two-time president of Peru, died Wednesday morning after shooting himself as police attempted to arrest him in the wide-ranging corruption scandal that has implicated scores of leaders in Peru and Latin America.
García, 69, was alleged to have taken bribes from the Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht in return for massive public works contracts. He denied receiving money from the company.
García was a giant of Peruvian politics who overcame a catastrophic first administration in the 1980s — besieged by hyperinflation, the Maoist terrorists of the Shining Path and rampant graft — to win a second term two decades later.
It was for alleged corruption during his second term, from 2006 to 2011, that he faced arrest Wednesday. When police arrived at García's home in Lima early in the morning, officials said, he told officers he was going to call his lawyer and went into his bedroom.
"A few minutes later a gunshot was heard, and the police forced their way into the room and found Mr. García in a sitting position with a wound to the head," Peruvian Interior Minister Carlos Morán said.[Alan García, ex-president of Peru accused of corruption, fatally shoots himself]
Day before shooting himself, Peru's Garcia proclaims innocence
Peru's former president Alan Garcia shot himself April 17 after police came to arrest him. In an interview the previous day, Garcia said he was innocent. (Reuters)
His sudden death after decades as a public figure stunned Peru.
"Dismayed by the demise of former president Alan García," Peruvian President Martín Vizcarra wrote in a tweet. "I send my condolences to his family and loved ones."
It was the latest development in the corruption firestorm that has engulfed both Peru and Latin America's largest construction company. Odebrecht has admitted paying nearly $1 billion in kickbacks to politicians from Mexico to Argentina.
The U.S. Justice Department fined the company $3.5 billion in 2016, thought to be a global record in a graft case.
Arturo Maldonado, a professor of politics at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, said García's catastrophic first administration marked a generation of Peruvians, who came of age with their country in ruins.

His sudden death Wednesday was "traumatic" for the country, Maldonado said, notwithstanding the serious corruption allegations against him, and the widespread sense that he was guilty.
"His death speaks of someone who was cornered, and will be perceived by many as cowardly," Maldonado said. "The investigation into him also speaks to how the generation of prosecutors once appointed or promoted by García has now become increasingly obsolete. The new generation did not owe him anything."
During García's second term, Odebrecht won public contracts worth more than $1 billion. In the final days of his second presidency, he erected a giant replica of Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue to overlook Lima's Pacific shoreline, a personal project funded by the Brazilian company as a very public thank-you to the outgoing president. Locals refer to the statue as the "Christ of Odebrecht."
García's arrest was expected after anti-corruption prosecutors struck an agreement with Odebrecht executives in Brazil this year that allowed them to testify about their activities in Peru without fear of legal jeopardy.
Prosecutors argued that García was the head of a de facto criminal organization that had laundered money, and a judge signed his arrest warrant. Morán, the interior minister, defended the arrest on Wednesday.
"I want to stress that the intervention by the national police strictly followed the established protocols," he said.
No country outside of Brazil has been more impacted by the sprawling scandal than Peru, where each of the four previous presidents have been implicated.
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, the center-right president from 2016 to 2018, was arrested last week over his alleged links to Odebrecht.
His predecessor, Ollanta Humala, the left-leaning former army officer who led Peru from 2011 to 2016, faces trial for allegedly taking illicit campaign contributions from the company. He spent nine months in pretrial detention before he was released by Peru's Supreme Court.
Centrist Alejandro Toledo, a former visiting lecturer at Stanford University, is fighting extradition from the United States over allegations that he took $20 million in bribes in return for awarding Odebrecht contracts to build sections of the Interoceanic Highway.
Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former president Alberto Fujimori and herself the close runner-up in the 2011 and 2016 presidential elections, is in pretrial detention to face charges that she laundered secret campaign donations from Odebrecht.
Alberto Fujimori, Peru's right-wing populist leader from 1990 to 2000, is serving a 25-year prison term on unrelated charges of corruption and human rights abuses.
García, head of the populist APRA party, is arguably the biggest player within Peru to have been implicated in the Odebrecht probe. A gifted orator and political operator, the 6-foot-5 leader long towered over the Andean nation.
His first term, from 1985 to 1990, left Peru touching a historic low. On leaving office, he moved to Paris to see out the statute of limitations on various corruption charges.
He returned to Peru and won the 2006 election — largely because of Peruvians' fear of the Venezuelan-inspired policies of his principal opponent.
That second term, from 2006 to 2011, saw him plot a conventional economic course as the nation achieved rapid growth. But it was marred by a massacre of indigenous Amazonians and the "narco-pardons" scandal.
In the former incident, dozens of indigenous demonstrators and police died in violent clashes in the jungle town of Bagua over emergency decrees that the protesters feared would open up their rain forest territories to the extractive industries.
In the narco-pardons scandal, a presidential pardons committee personally appointed by García freed hundreds of convicted drug traffickers, including cartel leaders, in return for bribes.
Prosecutors jailed several committee members but cleared García, to the chagrin of many Peruvians.
Those two incidents appear to have defined García's legacy. He ran again for president in 2016, but finished a distant fifth with less than 6 percent of the vote. Recent polls have shown his disapproval rating hovering around 90 percent.
In November, a court barred García from leaving the country as he was investigated for his ties to Odebrecht.
He publicly declared that he would be delighted to stay in his Andean homeland, but then sought asylum in the Uruguayan Embassy in Lima. He remained there for several weeks before the Uruguayan authorities ruled he was not a victim of political persecution.
García was taken Wednesday to the Casimiro Ulloa hospital in Lima, where he was pronounced dead at 10:05 a.m. The cause was a "massive brain hemorrhage" caused by a single gunshot and associated heart attack, the hospital said in a statement.
"I feel sorry for his family, but killing himself like that is just one more act of cowardice," said Jorge Layango, 55, a painter in Lima. "It's the same as when he tried to hide in the Uruguayan Embassy. Now he will never face justice."

Table of contents
The Silberstein-Cook is a collection of biographical information of veterans residing or who once resided in Yolo County. The veterans vary in service from the Indian Wars to the Korean War. The documents consist of written records by Silberstein and newspaper article copies from the Woodland Democrat, Sacramento Bee, and the PG&E Progress. Other topics in the collection are the Grand Army of the Republic of the Civil War, information on military conflicts since the Indian Wars (1850s) to the Korean War (1950s), Freemasonry in the United States, national and local history, and the Yolo County Fire Department. Location: A59.4-A59.6
August G. Silberstein was born in Brighton, near Sacramento, on December 6, 1876. His family moved to Yolo County in the early 1880s. In 1906, after his honorable discharge from the Navy, Silberstein received a position as night watchman. Two years later, he became the chief of the Woodland Fire Department. Through hard work, Silberstein moved his way up to City Water Superintendent of Woodland. A veteran of the Spanish American War in 1898, Silberstein also served in the Philippine insurrection and Boxer Rebellion in 1900. After an honorable discharge in 1900, Silberstein was asked to take over the duties of William Hudson, a civil war veteran who was responsible with overseeing that war department headstones were placed on veteran graves. Silberstein felt that it was his duty to purchase the headstones for the graves of war heroes. Every Memorial Day, Silberstein visited the grave sites of veterans and places small U.S. flags on the gravestones. In 1950, Silberstein handed over his duties to retiring commander of the Yolo Post 77 American Legion, Homer Cook. Silberstein was also a member of the Woodland Masonic Lodge and Zamora Odd Fellows. He was a member of the Kenzie Camp in Woodland. August G. Silberstein died on October 29, 1952.

July 3, 2010: Ask Andrew! Archives
When we first announced the changes in Munchkin's 19th printing, Czar of All Things Munchkin Andrew sat down in front of a webcam and chatted via uStream. Not satisfied with abusing him in front of a camera just once, we tricked him into doing it again a couple of weeks later.
What's that? You missed both chats? Well, don't fret. Through the miracle of the digital age, all of Andrew's answers to the Munchkin questions have been archived on the uStream site. Check out parts One and Two of his first chat, and the entire hour* of his second chat.
-- Paul Chapman
(*Ok, it was only 54 minutes, but any munchkin worth his +5 Mace of Sharpness would call that an hour.)

You can't sell news without pictures
Do you recognise this photograph?
It was taken on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, at 12.15pm on February 23, 1945. Joe Rosenthal used a Speed Graphic camera set between f8 and f11 with a shutter speed of 1/400th of a second.
The picture earned him a Pulitzer prize and today, 68 years later, it is still reckoned to be the most reproduced photograph of all time. It has even been recreated in bronze as a memorial to the US Marines outside the Arlington national cemetery in Virginia.
Rosenthal was working for the Associated Press and was one of two professional photographers (the other was from Newsweek) on the little island with the Marines at this key moment of the Second World War. Within 18 hours the picture was being published in hundreds of newspapers across the world.
If you are reporting on a story, you should be so busy focusing on what someone is saying that you will likely fail to spot what they - or anyone else - is doing. Not only that, to get that memorable shot you almost have to take the picture before the action starts. Anticipation and instinct are everything. But even if our reporter has them, how can he or she respond to the visual? It would be the height of bad manners to interrupt the conversation and hold up an iPhone to grab a picture.

What do you think was the greatest news picture of all time? The greatest photographer? The best front page? The worst stock shot? Please share your opinions in the comments below or by clicking the address firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks to CatbeL8 for four suggestions: the eruption of Mt St Helens in 1980, the Boeing 767 flying into South Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11,and these two examples of anticipation, instinct and quick thinking.
The photograph was taken by Stan Stearns of United Press International. He had frequently covered Jacqueline Kennedy and so knew her habits.
Stearns therefore had his lens trained on Mrs Kennedy as the funeral cortege approached. He saw her bend and whisper to her son and suddenly the boy raised his right arm. 'The hand went up. Click - one exposure. That was it. That was the picture,' Stearns told the New York Times.
Stearns died, aged 76, in March last year.
CatbeL8 also recommended Matthew Brady's photography from the American Civil War. There are many graphic images from the battlefields and the trenches. This one, from Gettysburg in 1863, is the sharpest and least gruesome I found, while still showing the abject misery of war.

Secrets of Tyrannosaurus Rex
Though horror movies and haunted houses give me nightmares (literally), this Halloween I've got a monster on the brain, namely that ancient bone-cruncher the Tyrannosaurus rex. First named and described in 1905, this toothy fellow is one of the best loved dinos as well as one of the most researched, thanks to a high number of fossil finds. Yet according to a recent Nature news feature by Brian Switek, T. rex "has kept some secrets."
The article discusses four T. rex mysteries that paleontologists are currently striving to solve.
- Murky evolutionary origins: In the 1990s, paleontologists scrapped the decades-old view of T. rex's evolutionary history, which pegged the giant predator "as a descendent of Allosaurus." New research places T. rex in a family of tyrannosaurids, many of which were much smaller than their famous relative. Switek observes, "The question for palaeontologists is how tyrannosaurs rose to power from such humble beginnings."
- Juvenile specimens—or different species: Debate abounds about whether a dinosaur known as Nanotyrannus lancensis may actually be a juvenile T. rex, rather than a distinct species, with researchers falling on both sides of the issue.
- Fuzz, feathers, or scales: Though Jurassic Park depicts T. rex (and other dinos) as scaly beasts, some researchers argue that T. rex may have been covered in fuzz or feathers. Fossils of other tyrannosaurs indicate that these creatures "had a coat of 'dinofuzz'" while Yutyrannus huali was covered in plumage. Some researchers believe that the evolutionary link between these animals and T. rex could suggest that the latter also sported fuzz or feathers. However, other scientists point out that, as of yet, no actual T. rex fossil has shown signs of this coating.
- Stubby arms: Let's be honest, many of us enjoy poking fun at T. rex's ridiculously tiny arms—but we'd all stop laughing if we were staring a living specimen in the face. Scientists suggest T. rex's odd appendages may have served such purposes as mating and courtship displays, gripping prey, and rising from a resting position.
So, where do these conundrums fit in the dialogue between evolutionary and creation models? From my layperson's perspective, it seems that T. rex does not necessarily support evolution as solidly as some may believe. Indeed, a creation model may provide a more complete and robust explanation for the T. rex data.
I took this question to RTB biochemist Fazale Rana for his opinion. He pointed out that the issues in T. rex research are not unusual. Piecing together an accurate picture of life history is no easy feat. He explained,
Our understanding of life history as based on the fossil record is very fragmentary—more than people are led to believe. These models are easily overturned even though they've been around for decades and are, in some cases, orthodoxy. For example, we just did a Science News Flash on a fish fossil find that overturned the standard evolutionary story for the history of fish.
Fuz also pointed out that the term "transitional intermediate" (sometimes called "transitional forms") is more ambiguous than many people may be aware. In one sense, transitional intermediates are a clear, traceable pathway from creature A to creature B. This is usually the definition that creation advocates refer to when they point out that there are no transitional forms to prove Darwinian evolution.
However, transitional intermediates can also refer to organisms that simply existed between creature A and creature B (such as the smaller, earlier tyrannosaurs), though without a clear pathway of evolution. Take hominids for example. Between the appearance of the first hominid (creature A) and modern humans (creature B) there existed a number of hominid species. There is no obvious pathway uniting all of these animals on a common family tree—yet they are often cited as evidence for human evolution. Fuz stated, "What's not communicated is how speculative it is."
T. rex's case appears similar. There is speculation about how this monster arose via evolution, but the support for this view is not as strong as it is often portrayed to the general public. A creation model, on the other hand, easily explains the appearance of T. rex as the work of a Creator. And even if paleontologists do someday find the "missing links" in T. rex's history, it's still not unreasonable to interpret these creatures as the products of common design, rather than common descent.
As Fuz put it, "There are other legitimate interpretations of the data. The fossil record doesn't negate evolution, but we can also account for fossils using a creation model perspective."
That's something to chew on along with the Milky Ways and Starbursts this Halloween.

text: Ways to lighten your helpdesk's workloadIT help desk tickets can quickly get repetitive with employees needing assistance with the same list of problems day in and day out. But as businesses grow more reliant on technology, the IT department has become a major player in modern business, which means you might need to consider how much time is wasted on troubleshooting these minor IT gripes. \n"It is critical for IT departments to have the bandwidth to focus on expanding company capabilities and strengthening security vs. being tied up with routine, repeatable and avoidable issues. The burden of balancing company innovation and maintaining data security typically falls squarely on the IT department, leaving little time for unnecessary requests," says Nanci Churchill, chief operations officer for Mobi. \nIT departments face more complex ecosystems at work. Employees are no longer tethered to desktop computers, they now have notebooks, tablets and mobile phones. By automating certain tasks, or empowering employees with the knowledge to fix problems themselves, you can free up your valuable IT workers to focus on more strategic projects. \nEmail setupImage by ThinkstockMobi ran statistics on its own help desk system and found that requests to set up email emerged as the number one IT request -- representing 12 percent of all help desk requests in the company. Mobi found it takes 12 minutes per user for email setup, which means that with 1,000 employees, the help desk spent 200 hours per year on this one task. \nChris Hamilton, senior director of Product Management at Oracle Service Cloud, says that creating a self-service environment for employees to set up their email can help alleviate some of this burden. And he feels employees actually want to troubleshoot and set up accounts on their own rather than bugging IT. \n"When these issues can be handled in a self-service environment, it's a win-win for everyone: The employee can find their answer quickly and effectively and it can eliminate the need for an assisted interaction, saving the organization time and money," he says. \nActivating mobile devicesImage by ThinkstockWorkers are more mobile than ever before -- but that means most of them have multiple devices that need to be set up and managed by the IT department. One of the biggest offenders, according to Churchill, is the need to activate new mobile devices, which represented 10 percent of their help desk requests at Mobi. \nBut activating devices is more than just turning them on. Oftentimes employees need assistance activating SIM cards, verifying device ID numbers and ensuring the phone is equipped with data and voice. Mobi found that each device activation took about 48 minutes, which adds up to an average of 208 hours per year. \nChurchill also suggests developing literature around mobile activation per carrier and device, so that the majority of employees can get the job done themselves. "For example, when an employee receives phone activation instructions the same day their device is delivered, they are much more likely to self-activate it than call the help desk," she says. \nQuestions on company policiesImage by ThinkstockChurchill says that at Mobi, one of the third biggest drains on IT support came from repetitive questions on company policies from employees. In fact, after analyzing their help desk data, they determined that the help desk representatives spent an average of 7,363 minutes per year just answering questions around mobile policies alone. \nAccording to Churchill, there is a simple fix -- businesses need to take the time to establish solid guidelines around mobile policies that will answer the most commonly asked employee questions and educate workers during onboarding. It's also about holding employees accountable to self-educate themselves around their company's policies. \nBut Churchill does note that employees are typically not interested in finding handbooks or instructions, when they can just shoot off a quick email instead. Present them with the most vital information in your mobile policies, such as which apps they can or can't download, or what the company's policies are about accessing corporate data on personal devices. Keep it to information that is only relevant to those employees -- rather than a broad, general overview, she says.\nHamilton suggests going as far as to "interview" workers on the most vital information in your company policies, whether digitally or in-person. "When interviews are coupled with integrations to systems controlling access to IT resources such as hardware and software, these types of policy-based interviews can be automated to help ensure compliance," he says.\nApp support on work devicesImage by ThinkstockChurchill says Mobi has a constant influx of requests coming through the help desk around app downloads and issues with mobile applications. And she only expects these types of requests to increase as enterprise apps grow in popularity, citing a Gartner study that predicts demand for mobile app development services will grow five times faster than IT organizations will be able to keep up by the end of 2017.\n"The convergence of desktop computing with mobility makes aligning business goals with IT resources to meet workforce requirements crucial for companies. As the facets of mobility expand and diversify, it becomes more crucial for IT departments to leverage resources and platforms to centralize, comprehend and control company environments," says Churchill.\nGetting locked outImage by ThinkstockNearly everyone knows what it is like to get locked out of their own device or personal account, and requests for a password reset represented five percent of all help desk request at Mobi. Help desk representatives spend an average of 104 hours per year just helping employees reset passwords, she says. Businesses can opt to allow employees to change their own passwords using a recovery link, or at least automate most of the steps to eliminate some of the back and forth between the employee and the help desk representative. \nAs Hamilton points out, a good percentage of your workforce may be mobile, which means IT can't just head up to that person's desk to reset their password or troubleshoot a log-in error. It also means that IT departments should create a way for employees to reset passwords, even if they aren't connected to the corporate network. \n"There's nothing more frustrating than being locked out of an account when traveling only to find out that you have to connect to the corporate network in order to be re-instated. Providing this capability in an automated, self-service environment can save IT time and keep employees happy," he says.

Article by Colonel Nogov on Mar. 13, 2015
Dear Anarchist: (summary of various statists) If we didn't have a government, wouldn't the biggest gang just take over and rule people?
Colonel Nogov: Isn't that what we have today? The U.S. government is the biggest gang. It takes your productivity calling it taxes instead of theft. It makes rules for you to obey or it takes more property from you through taxes, fines, asset seizure. It also puts you in jail for disobeying. The biggest gang your describing is the government or the state. Either description works.
So, what your question/statement is really saying is; why should we try to be free because another government will just come along.
For most of history that has been true. It usually comes in the form of revolution. People throw off a tyrannical government just to form a new one that sooner or later becomes tyrannical and has to be thrown off. It's a vicious cycle.
Anarchists are proposing breaking this cycle. Occasionally, throughout history, mankind, as a whole, makes a philosophical breakthrough. One example of such a breakthrough was the abolition of slavery. Slavery used to be an accepted practice. It was worldwide. Governments endorsed it, wrote legislation around it. Today it is all but extinct. Looking back, it's hard for us to even comprehend that slavery was an accepted practice.
Breaking the cycle and freeing mankind from rulers.
Imagine, if you will, a foreign government invading the U.S. This foreign government destroys the U.S. government completely. Its armies, navies, etc. All the politicians are executed. This foreign government then goes about setting up to rule the people of the U.S. Would the people in the U.S. resist this foreign government? Most would. Even if it allowed elections and was identical in every way to the government it destroyed, the foreign government is seen as illegitimate. In this instance, people see the government as their rulers. Because it is a foreign government, the people can see government for what it is.
People don't see the domestic government as their rulers. They see it as legitimate. Why? The foreign government and the domestic government are identical. They see it that way because the domestic government is what they were born into, indoctrinated into. People resist being ruled when they mentally see the rulers. Indoctrination blinds this mental sight. A small group of men and women cannot rule over a population many times its size without indoctrination and a perceived legitimacy.
So to answer the question; wouldn't another government just come along, the answer is not necessarily. It depends on the minds of the masses. When a certain percentage of the people see ALL governments as illegitimate, mankind will again make a philosophical breakthrough. It will throw off governments forever just like it threw off slavery. What is the percentage needed? Certainly not 100%, but the exact percentage is unknown.
My best guess as to when mankind will make this philosophical breakthrough is within 100 years. Well that's a bit depressing. I don't see it that way. With the internet, the world is changing at a much faster pace. I see anarchism growing at an exponential rate. So it could be as soon as 5 years. Pockets of anarchistic societies could show up within one year.
Imagine a relatively large anarchistic society develops somewhere in South America. Anarchists from all over the world begin Immigrating/Emigrating there similar to the way people came to the U.S.A. when it was born. Only this time there won't be just a limited government, there will be NO government. Tens of millions arrive. No government on earth could conquer a free society that size. That society will only grow and spread until the entire world is free.

Giving a multi-year extension to a 31-year-old player is a risky proposition, but I believe it's a risk the Texans must take. No doubt it's a gamble, but the Texans have come too far and are too close to their ultimate goals to take a step back now. The Texans were 7-3 and considered a favorite to reach the Super Bowl until Schaub broke his foot against Tampa Bay last season. T.J. Yates performed much better than expected but there's no doubt in my mind that it will take a healthy Schaub to reach the next level. So far with Houston, Schaub has averaged 264 yards per game, completed 64% of his passes, thrown 98 TD's to 58 interceptions, and has a 92.2 QB rating; Yates can't do that.
Five years of the six-year deal Schaub signed in 2007 are in the books and Schaub will make roughly 7-million dollars this season unless the Texans sign him to an extension. According to reports serious discussions haven't started yet, but I don't believe the Texans have a choice in this situation; they need to get a deal done, and get it done quickly. Some fans believe they should hand the job to Yates after this season is over, but I'm not sold on Yates long-term. He was better than most 5th-round rookies last year, but he still has a long way to go, needs a lot of time to develop, and his 3 interceptions were the biggest reason why the Texans lost to the Ravens in the divisional round (even bigger than Jacoby's fumble). Schaub knows the system, can put up big numbers, and I don't feel comfortable handing over the keys to a quarterback you're still having to babysit. The Texans can call a simplified, run-heavy offense for a little while and get away with it, but the good, veteran defensive teams will expose them.
Ideally the Texans would have drafted a quarterback in the 2nd or 3rd round several years ago to groom to be ready when Schaub's contract ran out, but they weren't afforded that luxury with the glaring needs at other positions; especially on defense. The Texans should go ahead and sign Schaub to a 3-year extension for similar money and then draft a guy to groom and compete with Yates to be Schaub's eventual replacement. I'm not saying they have to re-sign Schaub because he's a great quarterback, but he's a top 10-12 quarterback (good but not great) and he's the most qualified player to run this system and lead this team that's available.
The other argument I hear is that they should wait until the season is over given his recent injury history. That reason has more validity to it in my opinion, but I think re-signing Schaub now could actually work in the Texans favor. His injury history is fresh in the minds of everyone involved right now and could give the Texans leverage in negotiations. Even if it shifts the advantage just a little bit in their favor, that could be enough to get him signed to a contract with reasonable money, years, and an out clause. If you delay the contract talks and Schaub plays to his average healthy year (4,500 yards, 26 TD average in 2009-2010 full seasons), then the price tag on signing him will skyrocket. Of course there is a chance that he could go the other way, but you could front-load or make it incentive based (especially if you did the deal now), and give yourself a relatively painless exit .
Bottom line, Schaub will never be elite, but he's good enough to lead this team to a Super Bowl and he's by far the best option they currently have available.

Posted by Editor in Food, Food and Nutrition, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Everything You Need to Know About Milk
Everything You Need to Know About Milk
Everyone knows about milk – it's rich in calcium and protein, which helps build strong bones and lower blood pressure. But because it's so universal, it's easy to ignore that this is a crucial part that adds to an overall healthy diet and lifestyle.
Aside from adding to a nutrient-rich meal with lots of fruits and vegetables, a glass of milk is also a great way to start and end a day. It can even be a sports drink for an athletes looking to replenish lost electrolytes.
Why You Need Milk
While you might think you know enough about milk, there are more things you don't probably already know about its other benefits for your body:
- It 's rich in Vitamin D – Sunlight isn't the only way you can get your daily source of vitamin D, which is needed like calcium and phosphorus to keep bones healthy. You can also find it in a tall, cool glass of milk.
- It's loaded in other nutrients – Riboflavin, Vitamin B12, potassium, phosphorus, and selenium can all be found in milk in addition to a healthy dose of eight grams of protein.
- It neutralizes spiciness – It contains a compound called casein, which is great at neutralizing the burn on spicy foods. If it gets a little too hot, grab that tall glass of whole milk!
- It may help with weight loss – The added protein in every glass of milk is a great way to help you with your fitness routine. It can even help with weight loss if you drink it after every meal since it can make you feel full.
Myths About Milk
There are also quite a few myths and misconceptions about milk you need to stop believing, such as the following:
- Plant- and nut-based milks are still dairy products – They are great subsitutes with their own benefits, but they're not dairy products – they still have much lower levels of calcium and protein.
- Lactose intolerance means avoiding all dairy products – There are still friendly dairy options for those with lactose intolerance.
- Milk is low in other nutrients – The nutritional benefits of milk go beyond more than just calcium and protein. It also contains vitamins D and B12, which are necessary for the body's development.
Adding Milk to Your Diet
There are more ways to adding milk than just drinking it by itself. You can also get the full benefits from milk by adding it into other food items, like cereal, coffee, or certain types of dishes that work well with having it in the recipe.
You can even get these benefits from dairy products, like cheese, butter, and yogurt, which are all different ways that milk is processed or prepared.

Whilst the refugee crisis worsens, governments, organisations and individuals are attempting to find solutions to the biggest humanitarian crisis in Europe, since WWII.
Petter Stordalen, a Norwegian billionaire and owner of Scandinavian hotel chain Nordic Choice Hotels, has thrown his bid in the ring, attempting to provide shelter for the refugees who miss out on placement.
He has pledged 5,000 free nights in his hotels to any refugees who are without shelter or a place to stay.
Proving not to be just an empty promise, Stordalen hosted 50 Syrian refugees this past weekend, as reported by Norwegian paper Aftenposten.
In an interview with Forbes, Stordalen spoke of his decision to host these groups of people, adding "it's impossible not to be affected by the human tragedy and by what's occurring in the Middle East."
"They can't sleep in the streets." he said.
Stordalen's announcement comes just weeks after Egyptian billionaire, Naguid Sawiris, offered to buy an island to house the displaced refugees.
While the hotel stays are only a temporary relief for refugees, they offer a chance to bathe, refuel on food and water and get a good night's sleep – something that any refugee will be happy to receive.
After their stay, the hotels coordinate with police to ensure guests are securely escorted back to immigration officials. Whilst the government has announced it has no such plans to take up Stordalen's offer, they have said that his hotel can be used as a last resort while they search for a more permanent solution.
"We appreciate Mr. Stordalens offer and we'll consider using his hotels when and if the situation is really urgent," Christine Wilberg, the director of Department for Regions, Reception and Return at the UDI told Newsweek. "The most important thing right now, however, is to find more permanent housing for the refugees."

Media, Pa. (YC – Gov.) – Today District Attorney Jack Whelan announced former attorney Brendan Magee, 39, of Clifton Heights, is in prison facing charges for possessing child pornography, the sexual abuse of children, and criminal use of communication facility, all felonies of the third degree.
Additionally, Magee is charged with the unauthorized practice of law and theft by deception for practicing without a valid Pennsylvania law license and stealing from a client.
An investigation was launched by Det. Sgt. Kenneth Bellis of the District Attorney's Delaware County Criminal Investigation (CID) and PA Internet Crime Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, as the result of information received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), that an individual using Google had uploaded images of suspected child pornography to his account.
On June 14, CID Det. Sgt. Bellis, county detectives and officers with the Clifton Heights Police Department executed a search warrant at 507 S. Church Street, the primary residence of Brendan Magee, to search for evidence relating to the child pornography investigation.
Brendan Magee, who was home at the time of the search, initially agreed to speak with detectives. When asked about his Gmail account, he claimed that his account had been hacked and shut down. He denied ever viewing child pornography and advised that he did not currently have a computer. When questioned further, he became uncooperative and stated he did not want to continue speaking with detectives.
During the search, a number of pieces of digital equipment were confiscated from the property including a laptop and several electronic devices.
CID Analyst Brian Knowlton and Det. Christopher Tankelewicz conducted a forensic examination which uncovered more than 50 photos and one video of child pornography.
CID Detective Kenneth Bellis of the PA Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force determined the images depicted children under 18-years old engaging in sexual acts and/or poses in violation of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.
In a separate investigation, also conducted by Det. Sgt. Bellis, it was determined that Brendan Magee had been practicing law without being a licensed attorney in the state of Pennsylvania.
Through the course of that investigation it was determined that his law license had been suspended by the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in December 2016, after he failed to disclose that he did not have a valid Pennsylvania law license and had used another attorney's registration number while representing a client in February 2014.
Further investigation determined he failed to provide services in a child-custody case in December 2014 and unlawfully took payment.
"Individuals who search out and view child pornography contribute to the appalling exploitation of innocent children," said Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan. "Our ICAC Task Force is actively working to locate and arrest these individuals. I would like to commend Det. Sgt. Ken Bellis, the Clifton Heights Police Department and the ICAC Task Force for their continued work to find and apprehend these perpetrators."
As an attorney, Brendan Magee fraudulently represented himself, showing extreme contempt for the law and a complete disregard for the lawyer licensing process.
Delaware County investigators believe Brendan Magee may have victimized others. Anyone with information is urged to call Det. Sgt. Bellis at 610-891-4717.
All licensed attorneys in Pennsylvania are registered on the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. If residents have any questions or concerns regarding an attorney, they are encouraged to look up that attorney by accessing the website at www.padisciplinaryboard.org.
Brendan Magee was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Christopher R. Mattox on August 25, who set bail at ten percent of $350,000 for both crimes. Magee was remanded to the George W. Hill Correctional Facility after he failed to post bail. The preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 7.

Independent Games Festival (IGF) Submissions Open
SAN FRANCISCO - June 27, 2005 - Rules and submission guidelines for the eighth annual Independent Games Festival (IGF) are now available. This year's festival features major changes to the format of the competition, including a $20,000 Grand Prize for best game, a new modding competition, and increased prizes for smaller award categories. Submissions will be accepted in August. The deadline for the main IGF Competition is set for September 6 and Modding Awards and Student Showcase submissions are due November 15. The festival honors innovative videogames created by independent game developers and students.
The IGF was established in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers, in the way that the Sundance Film Festival has benefited independent filmakers. The IGF has given away hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes and major recognition to innovative, independently created videogames from all over the world, from early pioneering titles such as Tread Marks and Shattered Galaxy, through recent stand-outs such as Oasis, Alien Hominid, and Gish.
More than $45,000 in cash prizes will be awarded to IGF competition winners this year. The main IGF competition will give out five major awards for Visual Arts, Audio, Game Design, Technical Excellence, and Best Web Browser Game, chosen from a pool of finalists. Additional honors from amongst the finalists will be presented for the Seumas McNally Grand Prize for Independent Game of the Year and the Audience Award. The IGF's new mod competition will award the most outstanding, independently developed total conversion modifications for four major games. IGF supporters are invited to help choose the titles to be included in the competition by voting at www.igf.com. The IGF's Student Showcase will highlight a total of ten games this year, including a new category for games created using middleware.
"With the new changes to the IGF this year, we look forward to seeing entries from even more innovative developers who dare to take creative risks," said Simon Carless, Co-Chairman of the Independent Games Festival. "From the new modding competition to the enhanced prize categories, the 2006 festival will present the best this thriving community has to offer."
The IGF takes place annually during the Game Developers Conference (GDC), scheduled for March 20-24, 2006 in San Jose, California. The GDC is the largest gathering of videogame creators worldwide. Developers interested in submitting a game can visit www.igf.com for official rules and entry forms.

Listen to excerpt:
In 1989, after 26 years, Ahmed Kathrada was released from Robben Island, the South African prison for anti-apartheid leaders. He was the gentle jailmate of Nelson Mandela. This episode of Humankind presents an audio memoir of a life lived in hope, agony, and persistence. Hear about brutalities endured, healing forged, and humanity prevailing against all odds. Kathrada's story will provoke real questions, stark reflections, and a sense of admiration for a quiet hero.
Forgiveness goes together with reconciliation. The one cannot be done without the other."
—Ahmed Kathrada, leader in the South African resistance and jailmate of Nelson Mandela

The Department of Health and Human Services included hundreds of thousands of dental plans when reporting ObamaCare enrollments in September, an undisclosed departure from routine practice that made it appear the administration had met its goal of 7 million signups in 2014.
Adding nearly 400,000 dental plans to the Affordable Care Act signups put the administration's September number at 7.3 million instead of the more accurate 6.97 million, Bloomberg reported Thursday. HHS told Bloomberg after the story was published that the dental plans were "erroneously" included.
"A mistake was made in calculating the number of individuals with effectuated Marketplace enrollments," a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services spokesman told the Washington Examiner in a statement. "We have determined that individuals who had both Marketplace medical and dental coverage were erroneously counted in our recent announcements."
The correct number of enrollments as of October 15 is 6.7 million, the spokesman told the Examiner, and CMS will no longer be using dental plans in enrollment figures.
That's slightly less than the Congressional Budget Office's original projection, and it left ObamaCare-backer Charles Gaba baffled. "I really don't see what the point would be of being misleading about that number," he told Bloomberg. "Even if it had been 6.9 million, I don't see that as being a terrible thing."

Divers, keep a look out!
Mark Cantwell had anticipated another enjoyable day of free-dive snorkelling off Victoria's Clover Point, photographing sea urchins and other common marine life. What the Environment Canada policy advisor got was the experience of a lifetime — a close encounter with a species never before documented in B.C. waters, the Pacific angel shark. Cantwell was swimming near shore in his wetsuit on April 30 when another diver, Henry Fisher, reported spotting an unidentifiable creature on the ocean bottom, about 10 metres down. Larry Pynn reports. (Vancouver Sun)
