Video Synopsis plug-in lets users browse hours of surveillance video in
minutes without their having to leave the Security Center environment.
Neve Ilan, Israel, April 3, 2013 – BriefCam® (www.briefcam.com), today
announced that Version 2.4 of its award-winning Video Synopsis®
solution for the rapid review, analysis and indexing of video is now
integrated to Genetec Security Center 5.1.
BriefCam's award-winning Video Synopsis technology enables users to
"browse hours in minutes". BriefCam products fulfill the global unmet
need to review video quickly, investigate and identify incidents
rapidly and take action as needed.
The integration between Video Synopsis and Security Center 5.1 lets
Genetec users process and review synopsis videos – all within the
Security Center environment.
The BriefCam server processes data streamed from the Genetec video
management system (VMS) to produce a database that can be called on to
create a synopsis video, on demand. The original source video of any
event can be accessed in a single click.
On average, review time is compacted by factor of 1/60, meaning one hour of video can be viewed in a minute.
BriefCam's shared annotations feature makes collaboration easy and its
integration with Security Center's bookmark functionality is extremely
valuable for investigative teams. Specific objects of interest within
the Video Synopsis can be bookmarked and when called on, indexed back
to the original video, again, with one click.
Dror Irani, CEO and President of BriefCam said, "Genetec is a valued
partner and support for Security Center 5.1 was a priority for us.
We're excited to make this announcement as we feel that BriefCam's
tight integration with Security Center brings Genetec users one step
closer to our vision of Total Video Review as a standard procedure, not
only for post-event investigation but for on-site investigation and
proactive surveillance as well."
"We are very excited about BriefCam's ongoing commitment to the Genetec
platform," commented Jimmy Palatsoukas, Senior Manager of Product
Marketing at Genetec. "Extending the BriefCam integration to Security
Center 5.1 will provide our joint customers with more efficient and
sophisticated ways to leverage their video to further optimize their
security operations."

Denial or Genocide? : The Palestinian People's Struggle for Survival
2. Juni 2021
Register online through the link NOW, and we will send you the Zoom Link to your email.
There has never been a case of a colonial project, as in Palestine, in which so many forces are marshalled to eliminate a people from existence for so long from so many Western cities.
The case of Palestine offers an unprecedented example of a colonial project exerting massive force over a long period of time in order to eliminate a people from existence. The classic tool of colonial power is the use of physical force in order to occupy a territory, oppress its inhabitants until they submit to the occupier, and if they do not, to kill them. The Zionist project waged 11 different kinds of war against the Palestinian people over 150 years. This presentation asks: Did this colonial project succeed in its aim? To what extent has the Palestinian struggle for survival been successful? What possibilities does the future hold for the upholding of international law in occupied Palestine? How and to what extent are ordinary European citizens involved in this struggle? What responsibilities do citizens in democratic societies have in upholding international law and preventing the perpetration of war crimes?
Dr. Salman Abu Sitta is a Palestinian academic best known for formulating a practical return plan for Palestinian refugees and documenting Palestine's land and people through extensive mapping. He is the Founder and President of the Palestine Land Society (PLS), whose archival collection and active files form the backbone of the Palestine Land Studies Center (PLSC) at American University of Beirut. Dr Abu Sitta has published over 400 articles, papers and books on Palestine, notably a series of atlases documenting Palestine at different periods (1871- 1877, 1917- 1966, 1948, and the Return Journey Atlas). He also worked on a series of poster maps about al Nakba, see: www.plands.org. His book, Mapping My Return, is a personal memoir describing the experience of Al Nakba in southern Palestine. Dr Abu Sitta is a member of several organizations dealing with Palestinian rights, human rights and international law

The DA welcomes the announcement that President Cyril Ramaphosa has dismissed Mr. Tom Moyane as the Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service (SARS).
In the short period of a mere three and a half years in charge of SARS, Tom Moyane managed to reduce the vital entity from being a world leader in tax collection to being a friend of the ANC's State Capture project.
In the words of Judge Nugent in the Interim Report of the Commission of Inquiry into Tax Administration and Governance by the South African Revenue Service, "the day Mr. Moyane took office was a calamity for SARS."
The DA expresses its thanks to Mark Kingon, the acting SARS Commissioner, for taking on the very difficult task of stopping the destruction at SARS and starting to fix the rot left by Tom Moyane. We urge him to continue the valuable work he has embarked upon and therefore ensuring that the path towards restoring taxpayer trust in SARS is not deviated from.
Fully restoring the reputation of SARS in the eyes of the public will require the urgent appointment of a permanent Commissioner of SARS. The identification of a new SARS Commissioner must be completely transparent and must be based solely on merit.
President Cyril Ramaphosa would be misguided to simply rely on section 6.(1) of the South African Revenue Service Amendment Act No. 46 of 2002 to appoint a new SARS Commissioner as he sees fit.
Instead President Ramaphosa must embark upon a completely transparent process to identify the best possible candidates of impeccable integrity and then to take considered advice from a range of experts in the tax and revenue collection fields before determining who the new SARS Commissioner is to be.

Occasional posts on subjects including field recording, London history and literature, other websites worth looking at, articles in the press, and news of sound-related events.
THE SATIRICAL early 15th-century poem 'London Lickpenny' has now been added to the Street Cries of the World library. It's not the only place on the internet where you can read the text, but it is the only one to date where you can see the original handwritten manuscript.
London Lickpenny was written around 1410 and it describes how a poor Kentish countryman visits London to settle a legal claim. He begins at Westminster with the Court of King's Bench, before moving onto the Court of Common Pleas and then the Court of Chancery. But without money he's unable to obtain justice.
He leaves Westminster and walks eastwards to the City of London. On all sides merchants and pedlars raise their cries for food, drink and goods. These are the oldest explicit references to London street cries in literature. William Langland's allegorical Piers Plowman, written in the late 14th century, also mentions street cries in its prologue but as part of a nameless dream location.
The philologist William Skeat, in his 1871 Specimens of English Literature, confirms that the 'Lickpenny' of the title is an epithet for London itself, somewhere that greedily licks up your pennies like a cat at its saucer of milk. The man of Kent discovers how different the city is from home. At every turn Londoners want to sell you something, and that's the only reason they want to talk to you. Everything is a commodity, even the recognition of what's true and just.
In Kent the market is bounded. It happens in a particular place, perhaps one day a week or less frequently than that. In London there are no such limitations. The market is everywhere and it's a foretaste of our own world.

Myanmar Briefing
Tomorrow (24 October), the Security Council is scheduled to receive a briefing from Marzuki Darusman, the chair of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar, on the Mission's report, which was released on 27 August. The Fact-Finding Mission, established by the Human Rights Council, was authorised to establish the facts and circumstances of alleged human rights violations and abuses by military and security forces in Myanmar. It focuses on the situation in Kachin, Rakhine and Shan states since 2011.
The meeting was requested on 16 October by nine members of the Council—Côte d'Ivoire, France, Kuwait, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Sweden, the US and the UK. On 18 October, Bolivia, China, Equatorial Guinea and Russia responded with a letter to the president of the Council expressing their objection to such a briefing. Among the reasons given were that there was no precedent for the Council to invite a briefing from a special mechanism on a country-specific issue of the Human Rights Council, nor was it within the mandate of the Mission to brief the Council. Due to these divisions, it is possible that there may be a motion to vote on the holding of the meeting. Such a vote would be a procedural one, requiring nine affirmative votes to pass (in other words, to hold the meeting) and it would not be subject to the veto.
Darusman is expected to highlight the main recommendations of the report, which concluded that the security forces in Myanmar, specifically the Myanmar military (the Tatmadaw), has committed what amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, in its treatment of several ethnic and religious minorities in Rakhine, Kachin and Shan States. It also concluded that there was sufficient information in the case of the Rohingya in Rakhine State "to warrant the investigation and prosecution of senior officials in the Tatmadaw chain of command, so that a competent court can determine their liability for genocide."
In his briefing, Darusman is likely to characterise the situation in Myanmar as an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe and appeal to the Council to recognise the situation as a threat to international peace and security, and take action. He is also expected to cover the recommendations of the Mission regarding accountability for crimes under international law, including that the Council refer the situation of Myanmar to the International Criminal Court (ICC) or create an ad hoc international criminal tribunal. The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber recently ruled that the ICC may exercise jurisdiction over the alleged deportation of the Rohingya people from Myanmar to Bangladesh, as well as over the alleged crimes against humanity. ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda has opened a Preliminary Examination concerning the alleged deportation of the Rohingya people from Myanmar to Bangladesh.
Accountability is expected to be the main focus of most members' statements during the meeting. These members may underscore that the report's findings provide the basis for the Council to take action as soon as possible.
Members will be interested in hearing Darusman's views on the "ongoing, independent mechanism" established by the Human Rights Council in its resolution adopted on 27 September. It has been tasked to "collect, consolidate, preserve and analyze evidence of the most serious international crimes and violations of international law committed in Myanmar since 2011, and to prepare files in order to facilitate and expedite fair and independent criminal proceedings". It also decided that the Mechanism should make use of the information collected by the Mission as well as continue to collect evidence and document and verify information.
The report further recommended the imposition of targeted sanctions, including travel bans and assets freezes, against those who are responsible for serious crimes under international law. An arms embargo was also recommended. While it is clear that the divisions in the Council would make this option difficult at the moment, some members may suggest the use of such sanctions to put pressure on the Myanmar authorities to work with the UN and the international community in addressing issues of accountability and to promote conditions for the voluntary, safe and dignified return of the refugees from Bangladesh to Myanmar.
Members that objected to the meeting are likely to reiterate their view that having a briefing by a special mechanism of the Human Rights Council could set a bad precedent. They may also express the view that this could erode the mandate of the General Assembly and the Human Rights Council and duplicate the work of the other UN bodies. China and Russia may reiterate that the crisis must be resolved through bilateral efforts, views they expressed in the August debate. China may also refer to the role it is playing in facilitating consultations between Bangladesh and Myanmar. In this regard, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Myanmar Minister for the Office of the State Counsellor U Kyaw Tint Swe and Bangladeshi Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmud Ali met in New York during the high-level week of the General Assembly, with Secretary-General António Guterres present.
Since returning from the visiting mission in April, there has been a concerted effort from a number of Council members, including France, the Netherlands, Kuwait, Peru, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US, to keep the Council's focus on this issue. The last Council meeting was held on 28 August, about a year after the start of the crisis that led to over 750,000 refugees fleeing to Bangladesh. Several meetings during the high-level week allowed for discussions on the different aspects of the situation in Myanmar with a wide range of interlocutors.
While no outcome is envisaged immediately after tomorrow's meeting, some members are keen to use the momentum from the recent developments—including the Fact-Finding Mission report, the creation of an independent mechanism by the Human Rights Council and the ongoing General Assembly negotiations around a resolution on Myanmar—to start discussions on a possible Council resolution that would address the issue of accountability.

Actually, if you directly upload a large camcorder 4K UHD footage to YouTube, yoiu will be stuck with following issues:
- You probably get an "invalid file format" or "The server has rejected the file" error message. YouTube supports various formats like MOV, MPEG4, MPEG2, MP4, MPG, AVI, WMV, ProRes, HEVC, DNxHR etc., but there are some camera footage encoded in YouTube incompatible format like MOD, XAVC. More about YouTube supported file formats >>
- If the raw video footage gets too large, your video may take longer than eight hours to upload, or be stuck on 0% the entire time.
- Your video is always proceeding. Even after a few days your video is still in poor quality. That's because the large 4K video will cost a huge bandwidth, up to 20Mbps for 4K videos.
- YouTube not uploading videos. If your account is not verified, then you can upload a maximum of 15 minutes.
- ...
The best video compressor for YouTube, Winxvideo AI can compress videos to smaller file size for faster YouTube uploading. It also enable users to cut videos to shorter than 15 minutes, convert 4K to 1080p, transcode videos to friendly formats for YouTube.
Part 3. Compress Videos to Video Specs YouTube Supports
To get rid of above YouTube uploading errors, you'd better compress your videos for YouTube in advance. But before that, you need to figure out what video parameters YouTube supports firstly. Here are the detailed video specifications for YouTube uploading.
YouTube Supported File Formats: .MOV, .MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, .MPEGPS, .MPG, .MP4, HEVC, .AVI, .WMV, .FLV, 3GPP, WebM, DNxHR, ProRes, CineForm

YouTube Video Length Limit: If you haven't verify your YouTube account, the maximum YouTube video length is 15 minutes. To upload longer video to YouTube, verify the account you have or compress your videos for YouTube. Verifying your account will lengthen the maximum file size to 12 hours.
Recommended YouTube Video File Size: According to the YouTube Help Center, video file size is limited to 2GB for YouTube uploading. But size larger than 20GB is allowed by using an up-to-date browser. And the maximum is 128GB. Users can compress videos to much smaller file size without losing quality for faster YouTube upload.
Recommended Upload Encoding Settings
Besides, YouTube resolution, file size, length and format, there are still some requirements for video bit rate, frame rate, color space and more. To ensure a high quality and smooth YouTube uploading, follow the recommended upload encoding settings when you compress videos for YouTube:
- Container: MP4
- Codec: H.264 + AAC-LC
- Frame rate: Common frame rates are prefferred, such as 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, 60 frames per second. By the way, interlaced content should be deinterlaced before uploading.

Part 4. FAQs about Compressing Videos for YouTube
YouTube has limitations on the size of the video that is being uploaded. If you don't know clear about that, you may encounter some issues. Fortunately, here are some FAQs related to YouTube video compression and uploading.
1. My video is larger than 128GB.
You know, YouTube maxmiumly allows 128GB of video. If your video is larger than that, try compressing it in a video editor or compressor before uploading. The common way is to encode video in H.264 or HEVC codec. If it's still too large, trim it into several fragments. The video compressor for YouTube listed above can cut videos.
2. Why my YouTube video resolution looks low after uploading?
According to YouTube Help Center, "When you upload a video, it will initially be processed in low resolution. This process helps you complete the upload process faster. When the upload flow is complete, your video will be available to stream in low resolution, on a wide variety of devices. Higher resolutions, such as 4K or 1080p, can take more time to process. While this processing happens, your video may seem to be missing higher resolutions for several hours. Once high-resolution processing is finished, higher resolutions will be available on your video." It means your videos are compressed automatically by YouTube.
3. Why is it taking Youtube so long to process my video?
The biggest reason could be the low or unstable Internet connection. And if your video is 4K, it will also take Youtube longer to process it. A 60-minute 4K video at 30 fps can take up to 4 hours or more to finish high-resolution processing. You can compress 4K videos to 1080p for YouTube.
4. How do I reduce the size of a video for YouTube?
To compress videos for YouTube, you can use the video compressor tool for YouTube we recommend to cut video length, lower down video resolution and bit rate, convert video format, etc.
5. Do you need to compress videos for YouTube?
Yes. If your YouTube account is not verified, the max video length you can upload to YouTube is 15 minutes. 4K video uploading is also likely to get stuck. You may need to compress videos for uploading to YouTube fast and smoothly.
6. How much does YouTube compress video?
It depends. YouTube automatically reduce video file size to optimize for online viewing. Speed is valued over quality, and the video will be present at lower resolution to avoid buffering issue. YouTube use a unique video compression tech to offer smooth playback to viewers. It compresses videos using ABR algorithm to compress the transfer size of the video on YouTube server.
7. Does YouTube compress 4K videos?
Yes. YouTube automatically compresses 4K videos during uploading to ensure smooth viewing experience for users. YouTube has great bandwidth for 4K content. 4K videos you upload are not in true 4K, but they will look better than 1080p.
8. How to avoid YouTube compression?
It's unavoidable. YouTube will automatically transcode and compress your uploaded video to guarantee smooth video playback. To reduce video compression during video uploads, you can upload high bitrate videos or slow motion videos.

Ashen Stars Limited Edition
This review originally appeared on rpg.net in October 2011 and was reprinted in the November/December 2019 issue.
Stars. Robin D. Laws.
Pelgrane Press https://pelgranepress.com
304pp., Hardbound (Leatherette) (May be out of print)
Ashen Stars = GUMSHOE of investigative system (free and loose rules) + Space Opera. At first glance, I thought what in the world would investigation have to do with science fiction?, as I am sure some of you also have wondered. However, as I thought about it, almost every Star Trek episode revolves around investigation. But, to have it tacked onto Space Opera? Parts of it work really well and capture the fly-by-seat of your pants that GUMSHOE is famous for in the area of character development. And, I love how GUMSHOE facilitates and creates easy-to-play characters fast and easy. There is no sanity/stability axis in this game; rather, everything hinges around reputation—Altruism improves your reputation and Greed takes away prospects—a nice mechanic that keeps players on the straight and narrow. Reputation is the key to getting lucrative jobs, as all jobs are issued through an interstellar clearing house (although some jobs could conceivably be done on the side). While this mechanic works very well for Ashen Stars, games that delve more into the shades of grey or deal with high level intrigue (involving realpolitik) might find this harder to adapt (but then again, maybe I am not thinking of Soft Space Opera but gritty realism…). Where it breaks down is in combat. It tries very hard to give players multiple chances to redeem themselves – again, very much like Star Trek: The Next Generation (as the old joke goes, the computer announces that the Enterprise will self destruct in 3 minutes, so Picard and company leave to discuss the matter in the Ready Room). This is very much a space opera feature that does not sit well with me, as it goes a little too much in the way of being player-friendly. For my Science Fiction games, if players act stupidly, things get deadly. But, it is so consistent with using GUMSHOE in a pulpish fashion having the purist streak find this not really palatable – but there are those who like their Science Fiction like those hand dripped cones – brittle hard exterior and soft and mushy on the inside. GUMSHOE would seem to be a perfect fit. But, here is hoping that Pelgrane will release a "harder" version or supplement that will do a "harder" version of Ashen Stars.
The alien player races (including humans) are straight out of space opera, so you get the emotionless hottie elf, the flesh-eating bug, and the warlike armadillo. I am glad that they did not do the Traveller thing and do Cats & Dogs (to be fair, the Aslan & Vargr are much more than that…but it has always been my beef with Traveller not to have started with more alien aliens). What is nice is that these aliens have their own drives and unique characteristics that are not already worn-out clichés. There is the possibility of devising your own alien player races should players want to deviate from the template but each of these races add balance to each other. Drives and personal story arcs really propel adventures in this game, giving added depth to any game session and allow players to assume personas quickly and effortlessly (thus ensuring opportunities for real role play and not merely playing themselves) and also escape the "man in the rubber suit" syndrome.
The background to the milieu is equally Space Opera. Adventure is assumed to take place out on the frontier where freelancers are hired where previously an interstellar Empire once ruled. But now, thanks to a disastrous war with an alien species, as powerful as or more powerful than the Empire, the Empire has now fallen apart with everyone going their own way. This produces lots of room for rival ideologies and religions and just about any other fractious divisive belief system (such as age old rivalries, racial hatreds, etc.) to nicely complement players' own personal drives. There is a bit of Star Wars in there, with the Empire falling within the lifespan of many individuals but if they start young and naïve then they will not really have a memory of the good old days. Furthermore, as one last weapon this impossibly strong enemy created a meme or weapon that affects everyone's ability to remember the Past and even portions of the Present correctly. While it is integral and needed for this milieu, I found this a rather lame plot device. I always like the stories of old generals being cast aside by younger individuals ("Young Turks") with greed and ambition rewriting the history rather than artificial plot devices which reek too much of Virus (Traveller players will know to what I refer).
Tech is deliberately left ambiguous, as you can create virtually anything and it either works like magic or just as it does in everyday life. Careful attention is played to balance. There are no outlandish devices like lightsabers or disintegrator pistols (OK, there are disintegrators pistols, but they give players a shot at surviving) but the right equilibrium between deadly and mundane. As it would seem that most problems are supposed to be solved through negotiation and problem solving. So players looking for a shopping list will have to wait for a later supplement or just wing it. Again, this is well suited to a GUMSHOE-type mechanic.
The art is a bit of a disappointment as I have come to expect a higher standard of art, rooted in gritty realism, from Pelgrane Press—but this art, while of a very high standard reminds me of D&D 4e – very good but just different. And, for someone who insists on gritty, dark art for space opera this is a step back to fantasy gaming (funny enough, I noticed in a series of adventures published the same time, they opted exactly for that dark and gritty style which I would give a solid recommendation that they retain for Ashen Stars). For outside of the cover (which I do like), it has a very pulpy feel throughout, which renders the starships as somewhat laughable. The first book of Ashen Stars adventures (Dead Rock Seven) that will be reviewed later has excellent art; even though it is black & white it is what I would like to see more of.
I found many things that could be stolen and used in other game systems, so if rules are not your thing, then many pieces of advice can be ported into other games. For this reason, Ashen Stars is certainly worth a look. For I must confess, as much as I do like the GUMSHOE system (and I really do), I happen to like other systems more. GUMSHOE provides a nice game form, between what is too loose in systems like FATE and overly-structured older systems like MegaTraveller. For this reason, I like it; it puts the tools in the players' hands to determine their destiny or doom without having to FUDGE it. As regular readers know that I am a Traveller Man – is this good for Traveller? Well, not really. Traveller is much harder than Ashen Stars and should stay that way. However, as Traveller is also a universal toolkit of sorts, if your Traveller game is Space Operatic then you might like this. However, if you still mourn over the loss of Star*Drive or Star Frontiers, this rule book will give you an updated, shiny new game. As with the art, I got a distinctive D&D/Feng Shui sentiment to it.
Detailed breakdown of the book now follows.
All the Justice Can Buy
What did you do in the war, creating your crew is the subtitle for this section. Essentially, it is the elements of character creation. The emphasis is upon creating a balanced crew; thus, gamers used to playing traditional space opera games where there can be an all-Merc crew or Merchant crew will not be happy. However, given that all SFRPGs tend to mix up different campaign categories this should be no surprise but it is a nice way of making sure it all works. GUMSHOE is a points-based system, in which the number of points allocated depends entirely upon the size of the group. One interesting part of character generation is that it assumes that players will acquire their own starship straightaway rather than having to work for it, as is the case of some other SFRPGs.
The Seven Peoples
The different alien races (including humans) ranging from space elf to warrior insectoid to de-Ascended Greys to just plain old human. Although these are the default races, the Game Master can introduce new ones. But, these are the major dramatis personae that are the movers and shakers in this version of Galactic history. Each race has its strengths, as well as its drawbacks – again, the emphasis is upon balance although it is tilted toward the human side.
What You Can Do
Crew Packages and Character Creation are divided nicely into two aspects. Warpside Assignments (just work in space), Groundside Assignments (but born in Idaho) – I like this dichotomy as it creates much richer characters that other systems have attempted with Homeworld Generation but having dual "career tracks", I think, is rather brilliant. Mixed Assignments – the Medic/Cleric. Abilities or what some other game systems might call Skills but because it is points-based, you can distribute them to make them aptitudes rather than learned knowledge – plus in the future where all things could be directly written on the brain – skills become rather moot. Remember, this is Space Opera, stay in school kids – this might be cool but don't be a fool.
Drives form the personal motivation for characters and explain why players do what they do. This is one of the nice features of GUMSHOE in that it provides a ready-made template for a character's psychological motivations – those inner qualities that make their character tick which can be used as part of the overall story arc.
GUMSHOE Rules
Unsurprisingly, lays out the resolution systems for mystery-solving and for other exciting actions. For those who are familiar with the system, Pelgrane shows the way by constantly tweaking this system and making it better. This section lays it all out in a very simple way. This section includes Tests or how to perform Tasks, how to regain your Pool Points. The Time Increments for the tasks move according to the Speed of Plot. And, the ways of improving your character and the role that Boosts play in the course of the game. And, the Hazards that can afflict your character or just the run of the mill dangers of working in a job that tries to kill you every day.
Space Combat is something that will apparently happen quite frequently…only after I read the appendix did I fully understand and appreciate the rules for Space Combat. On the plus side, it is not math-based and is very cinematic, on the minus, it provides a feel rather than actual description. Ship Classes, you were uncertain that this is a space opera game – just even a preliminary gander that the Starships listed here would tell you that you are no longer playing a game that wants to obey any of the laws of physics. Custom Ships & Repairs and Upgrades – fundamentally rules to build your own ships that will add chrome to what is a generic ship outlined above.
Navigational Hazards
Space is not safe. There are all sorts of dangers and hazards, including the all-encompassing powerful plot device. Essential a short chapter of some of threats that are (in)credible to confront and confound the crew. When the hyper drive goes down, it is more than a type 3 meson spanner that will fix it or asteroid fields are meant to be cinematic, not follow Newtonian mechanics.
Things can be safe in orbit or they can be hazards. How very Star Trek that the party can beam or shuttle down to confront the exploration of a brave new world or one that sent you the distress signal and it is your job to help these people. Out of Your League is when you are outgunned/or and outnumbered – how can the GUMSHOE system basically save your bacon and let you get away?
Shuttles is the rules for small craft engagements rather than bigger ships duking it out…ranging from what the title implies – Shuttles to small fighters.
Explains the bits and pieces of advanced technologies the characters rely on all through their adventures, from disruptor pistols to gene-shifting viroware (my personal favourite… why not let DNA be a weapon or give traits that augment abilities …NOT!, this is a inconspicuous way of saying mutation, but, hey this is Space Opera, so I guess mutants are welcome here) including the interesting…Unclassified Items.
The Feed and the Bleed
This section is the beginning of the GM section and goes into greater depth on the background, as well as prevailing political circumstances, the structure and history of the interstellar empire (now a fragmented polity irrelevant as all action in main rulebook takes place on the Frontier far from the Core Systems), along with burgeoning belief systems (Synthcultures ("why does this planet look like Ancient Rome?"), Ideologies ("In the Days of the Combine…things were better. No, they were not. etc."), NuFaiths (I have come here to convert you to the one true faith just stop listening to the other guy)), and the mysteries of the menacing and apparently departed alien enemy, the Mohilar. Lastly, there is a short discussion of the Bogey Conundrum or why does everyone forget.
On the Contract
The Business of Justice details the subject of surviving as a Laser, from contract terms to rates of compensation. A very good discussion the important mechanic—Reputation—basically how you move from Jane Varda to either stellar heroine, savior of worlds or scum of the universe (who nobody will even talk to). Securing Contracts and Judicial Procedures and because you serve the law—sentencing.
Worlds Are Stories
Gives the GM an idea about how to describe and populate the worlds of the Bleed (that frontier we were talking about). Ashen Stars provides you with as much setting particulars as one is expected to find a comparably sized Space Opera rulebook (I emphasize Space Opera, as there will be no discussion of orbital paths or why Terrestrial planets might have a ring system). It does so as a jumping off point and little more than that. For it is designed to give the GM the tools to grow and develop the GM's own version of its science fiction of a setting as you go, on the same episode-by-episode basis the writers of a space opera TV series would employ. The GM and the players organically produce the Bleed to be what they want it to be – to allow the central narrative to meet and satisfy the wants of your central characters.
The GM and Players does without locking yourself into a pre-digested background bible (why do I get a sense that they do not like this aspect of Traveller (or at least how some people play Traveller)?) that minutely details, worlds, economies, stellar distances, planetary ecologies, lists of space stations, and in-depth profiles of NPCs who are more important than your crew.
Lots of good points here but I for one do like the flexibility of Traveller which allows one to create minutely described worlds and at the same time still retain enough of a sandbox – come-on guys, 11,000 worlds of just one interstellar polity allows a lot of weird $#!+ to happen. But, if you are fan of the FUDGE or FATE systems – this is pretty well old hat and second nature.
The Bad, The Worse, and the Alien
Entity Classes
Sentients—those assignments involving intelligent life – that have to be brought to justice – killing them is a big taboo. Quasi-Sentients is frowned upon but still deemed as acceptable such as Androids and Robots or Bug Eyed Monsters from LV-426. Lifeforms are essentially animals, so ok to kill unless you are a Balla/Space Elf where all life is sacred but even then it might be part of the harmony that underlies the universe – that this lion, tiger or bear be killed, lest the universe lose one of its more beautiful creations—yourself.
Aliens as Opponents and Rivals. Opponent Statistics. Entity Database (Class K) – the nastiest of all creatures that do deserve to die or the imperative of characters to kill these lest the universe lapses into total irredeemable chaos.
Generic Xenological Threats
Non-Alien Opponents are the everyday – the routine encounters that provide the filler for any game. Most games would simply call these encounters but given the strange and alien nature of the space opera universe perhaps this name is better suited.
Running the Bleed. A good sized how-to-run-adventures for Ashen Stars by giving examples of how to build cases (including the all-important advice – you can buy them, as they are very difficult to fashion). Building Series, otherwise tips for a campaign. And, lastly general GUMSHOE tips.
The Witness of my Worth
The Witness of my Worth (sample adventure/episode), in which the lasers respond to a distress call from a survey team on a war-ravaged planet. Has enough twists for an introductory adventure and does a good job employing the rules that it has just described, as well as introducing players to some of the stranger aspects of the Bleed.
Appendix I: Sample Names
As the name implies, sample names from all the seven peoples. Glad Pelgrane avoid the temptation to go the route of Star Wars with the likes of Starkiller and similarly fantastical names.
Appendix II: Space Combat Example
As the name implies, sample names from all the Space Combat Example, as this is potentially the most confusing and bewildering part of the whole book, having an actual example of what promises to be a major component in many games is a welcome edition.
Character Sheet
Why here? is my question…Why not at the end of the book?…but doesn't really matter.
Appendix III: Tables and Charts
A bringing together of all the major charts and tables from throughout the rules in one central place for quick reference. Kudos to Pelgrane as this a very nice feature that most game/rule books ignore but having everything in one spot makes it easier to get hold of the right rule and in a pinch can easily be transferred onto a Game master's Screen.
Just as the name implies, it is a comprehensive index to the book's contents and a very good one at that. Would have been nice, if a glossary was also added here rather than having it buried within the text but as it stands now. As the fact is the index does not include the alien terminology is a shortcoming that a glossary would have fixed.
By way of a conclusion…
So, despite my reservations, I do like the game (so, yes, still a Traveller man). I think it is a well thought out exercise in making GUMSHOE into a more universal system. Parts, as noted in the review that I found questionable are more to do with style of play – Space Opera versus Hard SF. Those wanting to play in a Space Opera universe akin to Star Trek: The Next Generation will enjoy Ashen Stars; those wanting Firefly or even (new) Battlestar Galactica might have to look elsewhere. Preliminary examination at the adventures book actually improves the game substantially. However, the ideas contained in the book does offer much in the way of stimulating thought for other games and as a device for making you think – Pelgrane has another winning product here.

Floating wind mooring shifts from steel to synthetic fibres
The greater use of synthetic mooring lines will lower the cost of floating wind design and installation and reduce reliability risks, mooring suppliers told Reuters Events.
Related Articles
Ahead of wider commercial deployment, floating wind developers are working with technology suppliers to reduce costs.
Developers are using pilot projects to adapt designs for multiple sea conditions and water depths.
Mooring systems can have a significant impact on project cost and performance, and several international consortia are studying unique designs for floating wind technology. US developer Principle Power has partnered with US government research groups and industry participants to develop new deep water mooring solutions. In Europe, a group of ocean specialists are developing new mooring solutions for floating wind farms. Backed by European Union funding, the MooringSense consortia aim to increase annual energy production (AEP) by 2 to 3% and reduce operating costs by 10%.
At present, floating wind projects have used conventional steel chains for mooring systems, for the top section, the main length of the line, and the bottom part that connect to anchors. Developers are now looking to replace these chains with synthetic fibres such as polyester or high modulus polyethylene fibre (HMPE), for some or all of the line, experts told Reuters Events. In some cases, synthetic fibres are already being used for limited sections.
Maximising the use of synthetic fibre ropes will be key to minimising the cost of floating wind farms, Torkjell Lisland, managing director at Seasystems, formerly Scana Offshore, said. Seasystems will supply mooring connection equipment to Equinor's 88 MW Hywind Tampen project in Norway, due online in 2022. The Hywind technology uses spar boys and catenary mooring lines and will install shared suction anchors in water depths of 260 to 300 metres, requiring only 19 anchors for 11 turbines.
Synthetic fibres will also improve reliability and several groups are developing bespoke solutions to gain a foothold in the growing offshore wind market.
Synthetic savings
Polyester is the most commonly used synthetic fibre for offshore mooring, due to its low cost, light weight, low axial stiffness and good fatigue properties, Longbin Tao, Professor Naval Architecture, Ocean and Marine Engineering at Strathclyde University, told Reuters Events.
HMPE solutions are lighter, offer stronger resistance to abrasion and higher strength, he said. Suppliers have improved HMPE products to reduce the "creep" of the fibre over many years of use.
Installed floating wind capacity by country (in early planning phase)
Source: 'Offshore wind, ready to float?' report by University of Strathclyde, DNV GL (2019)
The lighter weight of synthetic fibres makes them easier to handle and install than steel, and allows the use of smaller anchors and smaller installation vessels with lower running costs.
Synthetic fibres also allow developers to improve design and installation. For example, the smaller diameter requirements of synthetic fibres mean faster connectors can be used, Rigo Bosman, Global Senior Application Development Specialist at DSM Protective Materials, said.
DSM has supplied HMPE fibre to the top part of classical catenary mooring designs by Principle Power and Stiesdal and is working with partners developing the Windfloat Atlantic, Kinkardine and TetraSpar projects.
"We are identifying the value of using Dyneema in other sections, together with the designers of the floating systems," Bosman said.
For example, HMPE could be used for the full length of the "tendons" used to moor tension leg platforms, he said.
Sea stress
A recent study of offshore oil and gas assets found the annual probability of mooring system failure is around 0.3%, higher than typical industry targets of around 0.1%, Yongyan Wu, senior Principal Naval Architect at Aker Solutions and co-author of the study, told Reuters Events.
A windfarm of 80 to 120 turbines might include 240 to 360 mooring lines, so cost-efficient monitoring and inspection will be required, he said.
Synthetic fibres have less potential for corrosion and bending fatigue than steel chains. The replacement of chains at the top part of lines removes a key risk, Bosman noted.
"It's a well-known fact that top chain is a major headache for the offshore industry, as these show accelerated corrosion and sometimes even fail prematurely," he said.
Going forward, the materials used for mooring systems could depend on the water depth, Tao said.
Lines with large use of synthetic fibres may only become cost effective in water depths exceeding 500 or 1000 meters, or in harsh sea environments, he said.
Developers are keen to achieve rapid manufacturing processes to maximise scalability, but different approaches will be required for different site conditions, Tim Hunter, Technology Lead for Mooring Solutions at Bridon-Bekaert Ropes Group, noted. As a result, suppliers are preparing to deliver a mix of solutions.
"It means for us a portfolio of mooring line building blocks, from steel spiral strand, polyester, nylon, high strength fibre yarns, and hybrid concepts that can be economically and at speed manufactured in a series of 200 cables," he said.

This weekend I was pleasantly surprised when I was being contacted by Atlanta based drummer Adrian White. He had stumbled across clip "Groovin on a B3 -65" and wanted to add drumes to it. I recorded it while checking out a B3 in Pennsylvania a few years ago. Now the music definitely got another dimension. Check it out!

16 amazing facts about google in 2021
Now let's move towards the 16 amazing facts about Google in 2021. This are the list of amazing facts about google in 2021.
1. Google is a play on the word "googol".
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- It's definitely true that Google may be a play on the word "googol" On Sept. 15, 1997, over the BackRub title, Page and Brin registered the name of their mushrooming project as Google, a twist on "googol," a mathematical term represented by the numeral one followed by 100 zeros. The name hinted at the seemingly infinite amount of knowledge the brainy pair code their fledgling program to mine, add up of, and deliver. Many wondered if Google may be a misspelling of Googol.
2. Google's first office was a rented garage.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- So, it's a stereotypical Silicon Valley startup, right? Starting in September 1998, the company's first workspace was Susan Wojcicki's garage on Santa Margarita Ave. in Menlo Park, Calif. Wojcicki, sister of 23andMe founder Anne Wojcicki, is Google employee number 16. She was Google's first marketing manager and is now the CEO of YouTube. As for the house that built Google, the tech titan bought it, due to course, it did. Then it filled the suburban ranch-style dwelling with candy, snacks, and lava lamps.
3. Google speaks many languages.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- In 2000, French, German, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Norwegian, and Danish were the primary 10 language versions of the location to be available to the general public. But nowadays Google translate is also one of the best sources for us. right?
4. The early days of Google weren't super glamorous.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- Schmidt told LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman during an interview for Hoffman's Masters of Scale podcast that the previous CEO's first office at the corporate was an 8-by-12-foot space that he shared with the company's then VP of engineering, Amit Singhal.
5. Google's first doodle was a Burning Man drawing.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- The first inaugural doodle was an out-of-the-office message that Page and Brin created in August of 1998 to let people know they'd shipped off to the Burning Man festival. the longer-term billionaires positioned the long-lasting Man behind the second "o" in Google's logo.

6. Google was originally named BackRub.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- Many of you do not realize this fact In 1996, Page and Brin collaborated on a pioneering "web crawler" concept curiously called BackRub. Some speculate that the first search engine's nomenclature was a nod to retrieving backlinks. BackRub, which linked to Brin's and Page's '90s original homepages, lived on Stanford's servers for quite a year, but eventually chewed up an excessive amount of bandwidth.
7. Google new york began at a Starbucks on 86th Street.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- In 2000, Google unofficially started its new york arm at a Starbucks in new york City. it had been helmed by a one-person sales "team." Now, thousands of "NYooglers" clock in at its swanky, 2.9 million-square-foot new york office, a former Port Authority building on 111 8th Ave.
8. Swedish Chef is a language preference in Google search.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- Grundy morn-dee burn-dee, who knew? Yes, it's true. In 2001, Google came touch with its inner yodeling Muppet and opened the gates for search queries and leads to Swedish Chef lingo (called Bork Bork Bork, to be technical). Other "joke" languages you'll tickle Google's algorithm include Elmer Fudd, Pirate, Klingon, Pig Latin, and, of course, Hacker.
9. Sergey Brin and Larry (Lawrence) Page met accidentally.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- The time, having recently earned a computer engineering degree from the University of Michigan considers attending Stanford University for his Ph.D. Brin, then 21, already a Ph.D. candidate at the distinguished institution, is assigned to point out Page around campus. That was back in 1995 and, as fate would have it, quite the momentous meeting of the minds.
10. Google gave Mountain View the gift of free Wi-Fi.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- In 2006, the corporate decided to supply Mountain View, the California town where its main headquarters is found, with free city-wide Wi-Fi. While certainly generous, it likely just meant that even more people were liberal to hop on the online and use the program.
11. Google image search launched in a big way.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- The company unrolled Google Image search in 2001 with a whopping 250 million images for users to peruse. great for day one.
12. Google was valued the maximum amount as General Motors.

16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- Toying with Silicon Valley's longstanding tradition of pulling April Fool's Day pranks, Google unveiled Gmail on April 1, 2004, during a wackily-worded announcement that was widely misconstrued as a hoax. It wasn't Google Gulp. it had been an excellent double fake and therefore the precursor to a Google staple that now serves many users across the planet a day.
15. Google negotiated its acquisition of YouTube at Denny's over mozzarella sticks.
16 amazing facts about google in 2021:- "We didn't want to satisfy at offices," YouTube co-founder Steven Chen said, "so we were like, 'Where's an area that none folks would go?'" That place clothed to be a Denny's in Palo Alto, Calif. Mozzarella sticks were nibbled, hands were shaken. The 2006 landmark acquisition was a slam for Chen and co-founders Jawed Karim and Chad Hurley. great for the time.

Good old Drudge. Every once in a while he gets it right.

And, thanks to the stimulus bill President Obama signed this week, he's also about to be as much as a billion dollars richer.
No ... you're not. Had the same thought.
Of course it is!
No one would ever go for the truth.
That's exactly what it is.
Maybe that's why they are clearing out Guantanamo.

1994 Lifetime Artistic Achievement (Popular Music)
"Superfrog"... the woolly hair, the baggy hockey sweater, above all the songs in joual backed with a jazz-rock group... helped launched the young Charlebois as a novelty in the French pop world. But it was the originality of his music, its innovative, unbridled energy that propelled him to the top and kept him there.
The 1967 satirical show Terre des Bums (a play on Expo's Terre des Hommes) followed by many award-winning songs like Ordinaire and Lindberg established his indelible mark. The sensational 1968 review, L'Osstidcho, with fellow artists Mouffe, Louise Forestier, and Yvon Deschamps, broke all the rules and set the tone for a decade in the Quebec rock scene. His appeal extended to the anglophone world and he appeared with the greats: Joplin, The Band, Jimi Hendrix and James Brown. Yet he claims his allegiance is to the poetic tradition of the Quebec chansonnier, calling Vigneault, Leveillée, and Gauthier his "big brothers".
Just as Tremblay revolutionized Quebec theatre, so Charlebois radicalized the Quebec chanson. Beyond Quebec, his fabulous performances in Paris and elsewhere blazed the trail for other Quebec artists.

The murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on 25 May 2020, captured on video, turned Black Lives Matter into the biggest protest movement in the history of the United States, with more than 15 million people turning out to demonstrations, some of them violent, in 550 towns and cities across the country.
Fox News had a history of antipathetic coverage of BLM, which took off after the police killing of an 18-year-old Black man, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. Former primetime host Megyn Kelly subverted the narrative, asserting that Brown's reported last words, "Hands up, don't shoot," were a lie, and that Brown was the aggressor. Twenty-six-year-old Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren described Black Lives Matter as "the new KKK". Fox commentators had also defended police and rejected claims of systemic racial injustice in America. Nevertheless, the public reaction to Floyd's murder was on a completely different scale to earlier protests, and it took place amid swirling speculation that Donald Trump would declare martial law.
On the Monday morning, Lachlan Murdoch tried to set a conciliatory tone in an internal statement, urging Fox employees to "come together in their grief, work to heal, and coalesce to address injustice and inequity in our country". After the tragic death of George Floyd, Murdoch continued:
It is essential that we grieve with the Floyd family, closely listen to the voices of peaceful protest and fundamentally understand that Black Lives matter. The FOX culture embraces and fosters diversity and inclusion. Often we speak of the 'FOX Family,' and never has the need to depend on and care for that family been more important. We support our Black colleagues and the Black community, as we all unite to seek equality and understanding … This is an ongoing conversation, and no one has all the answers in this moment.
Some of Fox's highest-profile commentators seemed to miss Lachlan's memo. That same night, Tucker Carlson bemoaned the protests. "The nation went up in flames this weekend," he opined. "No one in charge stood up to save America. Our leaders dithered and they cowered, and they openly sided with the destroyers, and in many cases, they egged them on … The worst people in our society have taken control."
Laura Ingraham blamed Antifa and "other radical elements" and said the death of Floyd had nothing to do with the violence, which was "part of a coordinated effort to eventually overthrow the United States government".
Days later, Fox News had to apologize after an episode of Special Report with Bret Baier aired a chart showing how the stock market had rallied in the days immediately after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr in 1968, the bashing of Rodney King in 1991, and the more recent killings of Michael Brown and George Floyd. Fox acknowledged the chart was insensitive and Baier apologized for a "major screw-up". There followed an internal phone hook-up with many of its Black staffers, led by Scott, to discuss the network's racist and hostile rhetoric towards the BLM protests. The open forum was unprecedented, but Lachlan wasn't there and it resolved little.
As the protests dragged on, Carlson only grew more strident, attacking the president for failing to re-establish law and order, calling BLM a "terror organization" and Minneapolis "our Wuhan". In early July, CNN discovered that Carlson's chief writer, Blake Neff, had for years been using a pseudonym to post a stream of bigoted remarks denigrating African Americans, Asian Americans, and women on an online forum, AutoAdmit, that was a hotbed for racist, sexist and other offensive content. Fox accepted Neff's resignation within hours of CNN's inquiry and Suzanne Scott and Jay Wallace condemned his "horrific racist, misogynistic and homophobic behavior", saying neither the show nor the network had known of the forum and there was zero tolerance for such behavior "at any time in any part of our workforce".
More mainstream advertisers abandoned Carlson and Lachlan personally approved the comments Tucker made about Neff's resignation in his next show. Carlson refused management requests to pre-tape the comments and struck a defiant tone, suggesting he knew he had Lachlan's full backing. Dissociating himself from Neff's posts, Tucker added, "we should also point out to the ghouls beating their chests in triumph of the destruction of a young man that self-righteousness also has its cost … when we pose as blameless in order to hurt other people, we are committing the gravest sin of all, and we will be punished for it, there's no question." Tucker announced he was going on a week's vacation, effective immediately, which he insisted was "long planned". One staffer told the Daily Beast off the record that Fox News had "created a white supremacist cell inside the top cable network in America, the one that directly influences the president … this is rank racism excused by Murdoch."
It was all too much for James Murdoch, who had been negotiating an exit for some months, hoping to sever his connection to the family business. At the end of July, James sent a two-line letter of resignation to the board of News Corp, effective that day, with only the briefest explanation: "My resignation is due to disagreements over certain editorial content published by the Company's news outlets and certain other strategic decisions." In a bland joint statement, Rupert and Lachlan thanked James for his service and wished him well.
James continued, of course, as beneficiary of a one-sixth share of the Murdoch Family Trust, which ultimately controlled both Fox and News Corp. In a sit-down interview with the New York Times a few months later, James told Maureen Dowd that he felt he could have little influence as a non-executive director, wanted a cleaner slate and "pulled the ripcord" because:
I reached the conclusion that you can venerate a contest of ideas, if you will, and we all do and that's important. But it shouldn't be in a way that hides agendas. A contest of ideas shouldn't be used to legitimize disinformation. And I think it's often taken advantage of. And I think at great news organizations, the mission really should be to introduce fact to disperse doubt – not to sow doubt, to obscure fact, if you will.
It was a direct shot at Lachlan, whose mantra was to defend free speech, even that of commentators he did not agree with from time to time, and apparently regardless of whether the speaker was spreading disinformation.
Dowd canvassed a scenario which was doubtless briefed by James and which could give Lachlan nightmares. Despite appearances, she wrote, the succession game may not truly be over: "Murdoch watchers across media say James is aligned with his sister Elisabeth and his half-sister, Prudence, even as he is estranged from his father and brother."
It was true that there had been a thawing of the relationship between James and Elisabeth, which had come apart during the phone hacking crisis of 2011, when Murdoch titles were pitched into controversy in the UK. When James bought Tribeca Enterprises, which ran the famous New York Film Festival, Liz soon joined the board. The implied threat from the Dowd piece was clear: once their father was gone, when control of the empire passed to the four elder siblings, each with an equal vote on the Murdoch Family Trust, Lachlan could find himself getting rolled by James, Liz, and Prue, who were generally more liberal than Rupert.
In a plausible scenario, after Rupert has died and his shares are dispersed among the four adult children, the three on the other side of Lachlan could choose to manifest control over all of the Murdoch businesses, and to do it in a way that enhances democracies around the world rather than undermines them. In this scenario, the role of Fox News has become so controversial inside the family that control of the trust is no longer just about profit and loss at the Murdoch properties. In one view that has currency among at least some of the Murdoch children, it is in the long-term interests for democracies around the world for there to be four shareholders in the family trust who are active owners in the business. Just such a scenario is freely canvassed by investors: a Wall Street analyst who has covered the Murdoch business for decades and is completely au fait with the breakdown in the relationship between the brothers, volunteers off the record that it would be "fair to assume Lachlan gets fired the day Rupert dies".
It is a formula for instability and intra-family feuds that must weigh on the minds of directors of both Fox and News Corporation as they contemplate the mortality of the 91-year-old founder, although they deny it. A source close to members of the Murdoch family questions the extent of succession planning by the boards of Fox or News Corporation and whether discussions among the directors can be genuinely independent, as corporate governance experts would like.
"Rupert has total control over all the companies as long as he is alive," the source says. "It's an unrealistic expectation that the boards of those companies are going to use their voices to manifest independence. What is their succession plan? What if something happens to Lachlan? Do they put Viet in charge?"
At the same time James announced his resignation from the News Corp board, he and Kathryn were ploughing millions into climate activism, the defeat of Trump, and other political causes. The couple had invested $100m worth of Disney shares into their foundation, Quadrivium, and through 2020 were heavy backers of mostly Democratic-leaning outfits, including $1.2m to the Biden Victory Fund and a handful of anti-Trump Republican organizations such as Defending Democracy Together, led by Bill Kristol. That was only some of the couple's total political funding. A year later, CNBC obtained a Quadrivium tax return showing donations of $38m toward election organizations, including those dedicated to protecting voting rights.
Lachlan's personal political donations through the 2020 cycle were much smaller and were overwhelmingly directed towards the GOP, according to Federal Election Commission records. The politician he favored most was Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, an establishment Republican who made a calculated decision to become Trump's "enabler-in-chief " and was married to Trump's transportation secretary, Taiwanese-born Elaine Chao, a former director of News Corp. Lachlan contributed $31,000 in four donations in March, including to the Bluegrass Committee for Kentucky Republicans. Ten days after the November election, Lachlan made a much bigger personal donation, of $1m, to the Senate Leadership Fund, which had one goal: protecting the Republican Senate majority. Lachlan did make one small donation on the Democrats' side in the 2020 cycle, after he attended a fundraiser for Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg, the gay ex-mayor of South Bend, Indiana, pledging $1,500 to his campaign. Realizing the potential for embarrassment, he asked for it back and was duly refunded.
Fox's profitability fell by more than two-thirds in the June quarter, which would later prove to be the low point of the pandemic, as sports leagues went dark and general ad revenue collapsed. Fox News was the only bright spot, accounting for 90% of operating profit, despite advertiser boycotts of Tucker Carlson Tonight, as the 2020 presidential election campaign intensified.
Three weeks out from polling day, on 14 October, the New York Post broke a story that might have influenced the outcome of the 2020 election. It had obtained a trove of messages, documents, photos and videos "purportedly" recovered from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, son of the Democratic presidential candidate, which had been taken to a Delaware computer shop for repair in 2019 and never picked up. The computer shop owner was a Trump supporter and handed the water-damaged laptop to the FBI, but also sent a copy of the hard drive to Rudy Giuliani, who had long sought to tarnish Joe Biden with conflict-of-interest allegations concerning his son's involvement with the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma.
The Post story zeroed in on a "smoking gun" email sent to Hunter in 2015 by Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to Burisma. The email read: "Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together."
According to the Post, the email gave the lie to Joe Biden's claim that he had "never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings." However, it was not clear whether Pozharskyi had in fact ever met with Biden, who as vice-president had handled the Ukraine portfolio for President Obama, and the Biden campaign explicitly denied it, after going back over his official schedule.
However irresistible the story was to the Post and its warhorse editor Col Allan, the rest of the mainstream media was exceedingly wary. The Post would not provide a copy of the laptop or hard drive to allow other media to verify the contents. The timing was transparently intended to damage the Biden campaign and memories remained fresh of the FBI's momentous decision to investigate Hillary Clinton in the final days of the 2016 election campaign, after emails stolen by Russian operatives were dumped online by WikiLeaks. Twitter and Facebook intervened dramatically to stop circulation of the Post story. Twitter even temporarily locked White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany's account, as well as that of the Post itself.
More than 50 intelligence experts signed an open letter stating that the story "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation". The Times reported that at least two Post journalists had refused to put their byline on the laptop story, while the lead reporter, Emma-Jo Morris, had not had a previous byline with the paper. Furthermore, News Corp stablemate the Wall Street Journal had been offered much the same story before the Post but concluded the central claims could not be proved. The whole story failed to gain much traction beyond the Post, Fox News, and avowedly rightwing media like Breitbart.
Post-election, Hunter Biden would reveal that he was under federal investigation for tax offenses and over the following year and a half, the industrial scale of his influence-peddling became clearer, including possible breaches of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, the same legislation that Trump's 2016 campaign manager, Paul Manafort, had pled guilty to violating. In mid-2021, the Post revealed that Joe Biden had indeed met Pozharskyi in 2015, and in early 2022, both the New York Times and the Washington Post reported that independent experts had examined the files which purported to be from Hunter Biden's laptop and they appeared genuine. That did not prove Hunter Biden was guilty of anything, of course, only that the laptop was his. But for his part, Lachlan believed that an important news story about the Bidens had been deliberately suppressed by the tech companies and a liberal-leaning media, saying much later:
… had the laptop belonged to another candidate's son, it would certainly have been the only story you would have heard in the final weeks of the election. But lies were concocted: 'the laptop was hacked, or stolen;' it was not. Or 'it was Russian disinformation;' it was not, and the story was completely suppressed. It was censored by EVERYONE.
The scene was set for one of the most contentious presidential elections in American history.

Difference Between Entrepreneur and Businessman
While referring to people involved in business, we often confuse both entrepreneurs and businessmen/women even though the terms are not interchangeable. An entrepreneur might become a businessman/woman; however, that is not always the case.
To help you understand what exactly sets entrepreneurs and businessmen/women apart, here is our take on the difference between entrepreneur and businessman.
Without further ado, let us get right into the details of what makes someone an entrepreneur or a businessman/woman!
Entrepreneur vs. Businessman: An Overview
The key difference between an entrepreneur and a businessman/woman is that an entrepreneur is someone who started their own business. In contrast, a businessman/woman is someone who walks down the path of a successor.
Entrepreneurs focus on solving problems that exist in society and come up with original ideas that focus more on the well-being and conveniences of people rather than making high profits.
On the other hand, businessmen/women conduct businesses that are either well established in the market or use ideas that other businesses already use. They focus on how much profit they can make from the business rather than solving problems.
Who Is an Entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur is someone who has started their own business based on a unique idea and to impact society with their venture positively. The business idea has to portray both innovation and exclusiveness if someone wants to be an entrepreneur.
If the idea generated by the entrepreneur is the first of its kind, then the business can be labeled as a start-up. Once an entrepreneur gets a proper grasp and leads the market, they can gradually become a businessman/woman in the long run.
The entrepreneur always faces high risks as they try to tap into a brand-new market and sell an idea to their customers.
Usually, all successful entrepreneurs are visionaries who invest their time to turn their dream into a reality and improve the lives of those around them.
Who Is a Businessman?
A businessman/woman is someone who initiates or runs a business with the idea that already exists in the market. That way, a businessman/woman can calculate the chance of success by conducting a highly demanding business.
Despite having tough competition in a market, a businessman/woman has a high chance of making a profit from the initial stage of their business.
A businessman/woman does not constantly have to develop unique ideas that will turn heads to sell their business to customers.
They can invest their time to calculate which venture might be beneficial and which pre-existing ideas can be the most profitable for them to establish their business. They calculate the profit first and then came up with strategies to lessen risks.
Recommended for You:
Main Differences Between an Entrepreneur and a Businessman
- An entrepreneur is a pioneer who comes up with a venture that will solve society's problems without focusing solely on making profits.
While a businessman/woman either takes an established idea or business as their venture, they focus on maximum profit gain.
- An entrepreneur focuses on selling their ideas to a customer rather than beating competitors as they tend to have fewer competitors, if any.
A businessman/woman invests a lot of time to beat the competition as they already have many competitors strategically.
- Entrepreneurs are risk-takers by the norm. While businessmen/women will take calculative risks if only the risk promises high profit.
- Entrepreneurs measure success depending on the impact they were able to create; businessmen/women measure success in profit.
