Manchester City finally ended their recent run of bad results after grabbing an important away win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Coming into the weekend tie following three straight defeats in all competition, Man City didn't seem to lose their heads as they still put on an aggressive display straight from kick off.
That positive approach earned its reward on 22 minutes when Gabriel Jesus puts them in front with his fine finish and three minutes later it was 2-0 as Ilkay Gundogan converted a spot kick to give his side a comfortable lead.
Spurs were not keen on giving up though as they kept on pouring forward in search of an equalizing goal which they did get just before half time break through their star midfielder, Christian Eriksen.
That 2-1 first half score triggered an exciting second half with the home team notably pushing vigorously in search for that equalizing goal.
However, instead of scoring, Spurs found themselves conceding a third goal instead as Raheem Sterling made it 3-1 with a close range finish on 72 minutes.
That third goal practically killed off the tie as Mauricio Pochettino's side doesn't manage to score any more goals in the remaining minutes of that match.
City's victory was certainly an positive result following their disappointing week of crashing out from Champions League against Liverpool and beaten by their rival, Manchester United at home.

Pro-Vaccine, Anti-Vaccine? Reflections After an Almost Deadly Adverse Rabies Vaccine Reaction
Today begins another 5-part series of posts about Lilly's dangerous adverse vaccine reaction to a rabies vaccine earlier this year. Lilly continues to recover from meningoencephalomyelitis / meningoencephalitis (inflammation of the brain and lining of the brain and spinal cord). So, has all this made me anti-vaccine?
In a word, no.
I do think, however, that dog-loving people and veterinarians need to take a LONG, hard look at dog vaccination protocols and see where we can:
- Maintain protection from dangerous / deadly diseases
- Prevent the most susceptible dogs from suffering adverse vaccine reactions
I really hope the Rabies Challenge Fund is successful in showing that a 5-year or a 7-year timeline for rabies shots is sufficient. It was a big deal when (some) states moved from once a year to every 3 years. I hope in my lifetime we see that needle move again to 5 or 7 years.
In case you don't know, we're talking about the same vaccine that have been on the market for a long time. They simply provide protection much longer than we were told in the past.
I'd like to see longer booster timelines and better (more affordable) immunity titer testing as well so that we don't vaccinate dogs who still have protection from last time.
Prevent Scary Diseases
Truly, things like rabies and distemper and parvo are a big, BIG deal if your dog gets sick.
Dogs do NOT survive rabies (and neither do people usually without quick intervention and aggressive treatment, until a few recent cases joined the one — and only one case — in medical literature).
Dogs can survive distemper, but they will have lifelong neurological issues as a result. If you think our troubles with Lilly's brain are tough, you've never seen a distemper survivor.
And, yes, dogs can survive parvo with supportive care. Lilly and Ginko both did, but it's expensive. It's scary, and according to our animal behaviorist years ago, it can have an impact on the dog's behavior for life.
So, I'm all for vaccinating dogs to prevent trouble and heartache … and for the community (human and canine) safety factors.
As I said in our 5-part Adverse Vaccine Reaction FAQ series, just because Lilly can never have another vaccine, I am NOT saying that you should not vaccinate your dogs.
RABIES is the only vaccine legally mandated. It has everything to do with rabies being zoonotic (transferable from dogs to people). States, which make the rules about having dogs vaccinated against rabies, care about public health, not dog health.
The Anti-Vaccine Movement
I'll share that I have friends who no longer vaccinate their dogs at all. And, I'm not just talking about "old" dogs.
I also have friends who plan in the future not to vaccinate new puppies either. Not a single shot.
Call me old-fashioned or a conformist, but that scares the bejeezes out of me. I can see maybe not vaccinating after the "puppy series" of shots or after the 1-year boosters many dogs get, but not vaccinating at all seems like a big, big risk to me.
Risks and Risk Factors
Later this week, I'll share highlights of the adverse vaccine reaction research I've read, including the data I got back from my Freedom of Information Act Request to the USDA.
There are indeed some things that put some dogs at greater risk for an adverse vaccine reaction. More on that later.
Which Vaccines
It isn't as if Lilly got sick from an "optional" vaccine. She got sick from a legally mandated rabies vaccine. In three years, we'll request — and likely get — a medical waiver from the state / county so that she doesn't have to get another rabies vaccine, but that's a big, BIG deal for several reasons that I'll outline tomorrow.
For now, let me say simply this … if your dog is not vaccinated for rabies and either bites a person or another pet or is somehow exposed to a rabid animal, officials can force you to:
* Those bulleted items above are links to Centers for Disease Control rabies protocols.
So, let's not be too cavalier about this. In some cases, it's a matter of life and death.

CW: blood, animal sacrifice
In her robes of whitest snow, the Blessed One strides light and proud down the forest path. Despite the winter chill, her bare feet land warm and without haste on the earth as she makes her approach to the sacred oak.
The base of our great tree is bathed in a warm halo of light. Encircling the clearing are a dozen of our most esteemed acolytes all wrapped in pale hooded robes, with great burning torches held between their palms.
This is my first time being honoured with an invitation to the annual atonement ceremony.
Two of my shrouded sisters step aside for the Blessed One to walk between and enter the glowing circle. At the foot of the oak sits a crude altar of stone and moss, on which the ceremonial chalice already sits.
Illuminated by the dancing firelights all around her, our dear Mother smiles. I forget myself as I gaze upon her transcendent beauty; my breath catches. Though I lower my eyes as she turns to face me, I feel the intensity of her radiant force boring into me.
The rumbling song of a single voice grows in the darkness of the path from which the Blessed One just emerged until two handsome white bulls appear, drawn by a sister whose face I cannot see. From under her hood, she chants the words of the Ancient Mothers. As she enters the clearing, the circle ignites with similar song. Again my two shrouded sisters make way and invite her and her hoofed companions into the circle. The Blessed One bows her approval at our sister and looks on until the bulls are presented before her.
Our Mother pulls back her hood to reveal her throng of brilliant hair, red and vibrant as the flames all around her, plaited with ivy and bound with thin sheets of birch. She is gentle when she strokes the nose of one bull, then another. The nod reverently to her and she smiles again. I resolve to control my respiration. She looks to me knowingly all the same.
The Blessed One speaks now in the language of rituals and the circle sways to her rhythm. A hooded brother breaks from the group to present her with a bundle of white cloth. She accepts it and carefully, delicately, our Mother unwraps her golden sickle. She hands the sheet back to the brother, who lays it out flat on the ground, and she takes to dancing around the trunk of the great tree, virginal robes billowing in her wake, with equal parts beauty and madness.
Our singing has staved to make way for our Mother's voice. I'm enthralled by the glint of the sickle in the torchlight as she draws circles in the air for all creation to see, chanting all the while about endings and beginnings and the spaces in between. Of prosperity and death; of mastering both.
I watch in even greater awe as the Blessed One then stops before the white sheet on the ground, hooks the sickle into her belt, gathers up her robes, and begins to climb the trunk of our sacred tree with the strength and agility of a wildcat. Every hooded face follows her ascent into the branches.
The Blessed One climbs the tree alone, so that we may all rise on this most auspicious day.
Straddling the great tree's limb, our Mother reaches out with the sickle in one hand to slice a bundle of the ghost-berried bush that latched onto the oak when lighting struck true. The spoils of her climb, she drops to the sheet spread below. She comes back down to earth with the same ease as she rose.
It's now that I realize my mouth has gone dry. In my rapture, I'd forgotten to swallow.
Knelt before the altar, she whispers prayers in tongues known only to Mothers and trees. Slowly, carefully, she plucks berries and leaves from the mass on the sheet and muddles them on the mossy rock face.
When she stands again, she loosens her belt and lets her robes fall away, revealing every last inch of her snow-white flesh. Her hair tumbles in loose ringlets all the way down her spine. She steps away from the pile of garments and approaches the stoic bulls. With her eyes on the beasts, she wordlessly commands the brother. Without hesitation, he does her bidding, fetching the chalice and sickle for her and offers them to her with a deep bow.
With the chalice in her left hand and the sickle in the right, she approaches the first bull, staring it in the eye until to my unending awe, the great beast bows down to her. She coos sweetly to it as she wraps her arm around its thick neck, nuzzles into its shoulder, and runs the sickle across its throat.
My knees quiver but I dare not look away as the beast's dark red lifeblood steams and oozes from the slit and fills the chalice. Once full, our Mother pours the contents of the chalice down her front, painting her in long dark lines in the snow of her skin. She fills the cup again and again, until she is a dripping in offerings, until the beast's soul returns to the Above and its vessel collapses in a puddle of its former existence at her feet.
We all watch on as she turns to the second beast, approaching it with the same sweet ferocity she had with its brother. Again she fills the chalice with offering, and gestures to the brother with another twirl of her sickle. He gathers the poultice from the altar with both hands and approaches the Blessed One. He drops the mixture of leaf and berry into the chalice and takes it from her hands.
I wince when she slice a line into her own palm with the sickle, blending her blood with that of the beasts, She squeezes her essence into the chalice and takes it from the brothers hands. Raising it above her head, she howls in prayer to the brilliant moon above, and brings the cup to her lips to drink.
When she opens her eyes, the Blessed One locks her gaze on me, holding it as she takes soft, slow steps towards me with the chalice clasped between her palms. My grip on the burning branch in my hands tightens until she changes the step in her path and approaches the brother to my right. He plants his torch in the earth and removes his robes to bare himself to the night. Then, he accepts the chalice from the Blessed One and they exchange the words we have learned as she presses her bloody hand to his forehead in blessing. He drinks deep from the cup and returns it to her care.
One by one, my sisters and brothers drop the robes to the earth and welcome the Motherblood into their vessels. And one by one, they begin to dance. As if the very the Ancient Mothers themselves now run through them.
I am the last to drink of this benevolent magic. My heart beats harder than the solstice drums when the Blessed One stands before me. I plant the torch in the frozen earth; the blood on her body glistens in the moonlight. She offers me the chalice with both hands.
"Drink, Sister," she whispers. "To the healing of all things."
Behind her, the naked bodies of my sisters and brothers already consumed by the Motherblood are coming together in wild frenetic unions with the dancing shadows.
"To the healing of all things," I echo.
She presses her slit palm to my forehead and I drink, welcoming the ferrous essence into my body. Before it can even warm my gut, I feel the ancient magic grip me from within. Any last lingering chill of the night melts away and all I feel is light.
Like those who came before me, I step away from the dregs of last year's robes and our Mother takes my hand. So warm is her touch as she leads me into the throng of bodies dancing and writhing at the base of our scared tree.
On this sixth day of the moon, I ascend.

Love the final line: On this sixth day of the moon, I ascend. Thanks for this great story.
Oh my … 'coming together in wild frenetic unions with the dancing shadows' .. this sounds like a ritual I want to be at. Fabulous tale, I enjoyed it very much 🙂
Wow – what a scene you have set – I was there waiting in line to take my turn with the chalice x
This is GORGEOUSLY told. I love everything about it from the tone to the imagery to ALL OF IT.
Very evocative of rituals, from how you set the scene, to how brutal it became, all told with dignity and beauty and a clever, building pace. I love your stylised prose – very appropriate and poetic.
I absolutely loved this. You told such a wonderful story and so well that I actually felt I was there. I could hear the singing and feel the dancing. So amazing… thank you so much so sharing not only the story, but the rituals as well.

Human cells rejuvenated to a youthful state with transiently expressed proteins
By expressing Yamanaka proteins in human cells, researchers have turned back the biological clock.
Researchers from Stanford University (CA, USA) have reverted cells back to a younger state by transiently expressing the well-known Yamanaka factors.
The study, described in Nature Communications, has the potential to revolutionize the regenerative medicine field and treat age-related conditions. Aging populations and age-related conditions are an increasing concern for countries across the globe and so the ability to rejuvenate patients could cause a significant impact, offering hope to many.
The team treated old human cells with the reprogramming factors in vitro and demonstrated a dramatic reversal in age, as defined by several key characteristics. Rejuvenated cells were compared to both young and old cells and were closer to their younger counterparts in how they were able to sense nutrients, metabolize compounds and dispose of cellular waste.
The reversal in age-related changes was also present on a genetic level, with the loss of methyl groups that are normally associated with aging.
"When induced pluripotent stem cells are made from adult cells, they become both youthful and pluripotent," explained Vittorio Sebastiano, Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Stanford University).
"We've wondered for some time if it might be possible to simply rewind the aging clock without inducing pluripotency. Now we've found that, by tightly controlling the duration of the exposure to these protein factors, we can promote rejuvenation in multiple human cell types."
As well as the cellular alterations, the team demonstrated that regenerated muscle cells obtained from elderly mice were able to bestow increased strength when retransplanted back into their aged donors.
Incredibly, the team also showed that in human samples they were able to reduce the inflammation produced by cells derived from the cartilage of osteoarthritic individuals, suggesting huge potential for the treatment of arthritis.
The concept was born from the knowledge that inducing pluripotency in cells caused them to undergo a transition that restores them to an earlier stage of development. By utilizing the Yamanaka factors — SOX2, c-MYC, OCT4 and KLF4 — as well as other factors known to collaborate to produce induced pluripotent stem cells, and fine-tuning the length of their expression, the team believed they could rejuvenate cells.
While this research is still in the early phases and needs fine-tuning and testing with various tissues, such an anti-aging effect could have great promise in treating a range of conditions.

Persimmon probe steps up a gear as 100,000 people are asked for their views on the housebuilder and its homes
- Customers, employees, suppliers, trade bodies, local authorities contacted
- The process, which was launched in April, is set to rigorously assess quality
More than 100,000 people are being asked for their views on housebuilder Persimmon as an independent review into the company enters its next stage.
Customers, employees, suppliers, trade bodies, local authorities and civil servants will all be contacted on Tuesday in a bid to gather information about customer care and the quality of the group's work.
The process, which was launched in April, is set to rigorously assess every aspect of the firm's construction and inspection regime as it sets out to rebuild its image in the wake of controversy over payouts to executives.
Builders constructing homes on a Persimmon development in Coventry
Stephanie Barwise QC, who is leading the review, told PA such an extensive review was rare in the private sector.
'I think it shows the genuine commitment that Persimmon has to resolving their customer services offering,' she said.
She added that more companies could consider using independent reviews to assess their operations, but it would require a 'sufficiently confident executive'.
'It's a very useful tool to examine your own business in a fairly ruthless way. It's great if you've got the guts for it.'
Clive Fenton, the former chief executive of fellow housebuilder McCarthy and Stone, is providing assistance to the review as an industry expert.
The consultation period closes on September 16, with findings of the review due by the end of the year.
Roger Devlin, chairman of Persimmon, said: 'It is important that we listen in order to improve and this consultation process is a vital step in hearing from our customers, employees, and many other people important to our business.
'We hope that as many of our stakeholders as possible will take the time to contribute to this important process and I am very grateful to them for participating.'
Persimmon faced criticism last year as it handed out hefty bonuses to executives, despite scoring relatively low for customer satisfaction in the industry.
Former chief executive Jeff Fairburn's circa £75 million pay package in particular came under fire.
He later stepped down, blaming the 'distraction' of his pay deal.

Train Pytorch deep learning models at scale with Azure Machine Learning
APPLIES TO: Basic edition Enterprise edition (Upgrade to Enterprise edition)
In this article, learn how to run your PyTorch training scripts at enterprise scale using Azure Machine Learning's PyTorch estimator class.
The example scripts in this article are used to classify chicken and turkey images to build a deep learning neural network based on PyTorch's transfer learning tutorial.
Whether you're training a deep learning PyTorch model from the ground-up or you're bringing an existing model into the cloud, you can use Azure Machine Learning to scale out open-source training jobs using elastic cloud compute resources. You can build, deploy, version, and monitor production-grade models with Azure Machine Learning.
Learn more about deep learning vs machine learning.
Run this code on either of these environments:
Azure Machine Learning compute instance - no downloads or installation necessary
- Complete the Tutorial: Setup environment and workspace to create a dedicated notebook server pre-loaded with the SDK and the sample repository.
- In the samples deep learning folder on the notebook server, find a completed and expanded notebook by navigating to this directory: how-to-use-azureml > training-with-deep-learning > train-hyperparameter-tune-deploy-with-pytorch folder.
Your own Jupyter Notebook server
- Install the Azure Machine Learning SDK.
- Create a workspace configuration file.
- Download the sample script files
You can also find a completed Jupyter Notebook version of this guide on the GitHub samples page. The notebook includes expanded sections covering intelligent hyperparameter tuning, model deployment, and notebook widgets.
Set up the experiment
This section sets up the training experiment by loading the required python packages, initializing a workspace, creating an experiment, and uploading the training data and training scripts.
Import packages
First, import the necessary Python libraries.
import os
import shutil
from azureml.core.workspace import Workspace
from azureml.core import Experiment
from azureml.core.compute import ComputeTarget, AmlCompute
from azureml.core.compute_target import ComputeTargetException
from azureml.train.dnn import PyTorch
Initialize a workspace
The Azure Machine Learning workspace is the top-level resource for the service. It provides you with a centralized place to work with all the artifacts you create. In the Python SDK, you can access the workspace artifacts by creating a
workspace object.
Create a workspace object from the
config.json file created in the prerequisites section.
ws = Workspace.from_config()
Create a deep learning experiment
Create an experiment and a folder to hold your training scripts. In this example, create an experiment called "pytorch-birds".
project_folder = './pytorch-birds'
os.makedirs(project_folder, exist_ok=True)
experiment_name = 'pytorch-birds'
experiment = Experiment(ws, name=experiment_name)
Get the data
The dataset consists of about 120 training images each for turkeys and chickens, with 100 validation images for each class. We will download and extract the dataset as part of our training script
pytorch_train.py. The images are a subset of the Open Images v5 Dataset.
Prepare training scripts
In this tutorial, the training script,
pytorch_train.py, is already provided. In practice, you can take any custom training script, as is, and run it with Azure Machine Learning.
Upload the Pytorch training script,
shutil.copy('pytorch_train.py', project_folder)
However, if you would like to use Azure Machine Learning tracking and metrics capabilities, you will have to add a small amount code inside your training script. Examples of metrics tracking can be found in
Create a compute target
Create a compute target for your PyTorch job to run on. In this example, create a GPU-enabled Azure Machine Learning compute cluster.
cluster_name = "gpucluster"
compute_target = ComputeTarget(workspace=ws, name=cluster_name)
print('Found existing compute target')
except ComputeTargetException:
print('Creating a new compute target...')
compute_config = AmlCompute.provisioning_configuration(vm_size='STANDARD_NC6',
compute_target = ComputeTarget.create(ws, cluster_name, compute_config)
compute_target.wait_for_completion(show_output=True, min_node_count=None, timeout_in_minutes=20)
You may choose to use low-priority VMs to run some or all of your workloads. See how to create a low-priority VM.
For more information on compute targets, see the what is a compute target article.
Create a PyTorch estimator
The PyTorch estimator provides a simple way of launching a PyTorch training job on a compute target.
The PyTorch estimator is implemented through the generic
estimator class, which can be used to support any framework. For more information about training models using the generic estimator, see train models with Azure Machine Learning using estimator
If your training script needs additional pip or conda packages to run, you can have the packages installed on the resulting docker image by passing their names through the
pip_packages and
conda_packages arguments.
script_params = {
'--num_epochs': 30,
'--output_dir': './outputs'
estimator = PyTorch(source_directory=project_folder,
Azure Machine Learning runs training scripts by copying the entire source directory. If you have sensitive data that you don't want to upload, use a .ignore file or don't include it in the source directory . Instead, access your data using a datastore.
For more information on customizing your Python environment, see Create and manage environments for training and deployment.
Submit a run
The Run object provides the interface to the run history while the job is running and after it has completed.
run = experiment.submit(estimator)
As the Run is executed, it goes through the following stages:
Preparing: A docker image is created according to the PyTorch estimator. The image is uploaded to the workspace's container registry and cached for later runs. Logs are also streamed to the run history and can be viewed to monitor progress.
Scaling: The cluster attempts to scale up if the Batch AI cluster requires more nodes to execute the run than are currently available.
Running: All scripts in the script folder are uploaded to the compute target, data stores are mounted or copied, and the entry_script is executed. Outputs from stdout and the ./logs folder are streamed to the run history and can be used to monitor the run.
Post-Processing: The ./outputs folder of the run is copied over to the run history.
Register or download a model
Once you've trained the model, you can register it to your workspace. Model registration lets you store and version your models in your workspace to simplify model management and deployment.
model = run.register_model(model_name='pt-dnn', model_path='outputs/')
The model you just registered is deployed the exact same way as any other registered model in Azure Machine Learning, regardless of which estimator you used for training. The deployment how-to contains a section on registering models, but you can skip directly to creating a compute target for deployment, since you already have a registered model.
You can also download a local copy of the model by using the Run object. In the training script
pytorch_train.py, a PyTorch save object persists the model to a local folder (local to the compute target). You can use the Run object to download a copy.
# Create a model folder in the current directory
os.makedirs('./model', exist_ok=True)
for f in run.get_file_names():
if f.startswith('outputs/model'):
output_file_path = os.path.join('./model', f.split('/')[-1])
print('Downloading from {} to {} ...'.format(f, output_file_path))
run.download_file(name=f, output_file_path=output_file_path)
Distributed training
PyTorch estimator also supports distributed training across CPU and GPU clusters. You can easily run distributed PyTorch jobs and Azure Machine Learning will manage the orchestration for you.
Horovod is an open-source, all reduce framework for distributed training developed by Uber. It offers an easy path to distributed GPU PyTorch jobs.
To use Horovod, specify an
MpiConfiguration object for the
distributed_training parameter in the PyTorch constructor. This parameter ensures that Horovod library is installed for you to use in your training script.
from azureml.train.dnn import PyTorch
estimator= PyTorch(source_directory=project_folder,
Horovod and its dependencies will be installed for you, so you can import it in your training script
train.py as follows:
import torch
import horovod
Export to ONNX
To optimize inference with the ONNX Runtime, convert your trained PyTorch model to the ONNX format. Inference, or model scoring, is the phase where the deployed model is used for prediction, most commonly on production data. See the tutorial for an example.
Next steps
In this article, you trained and registered a deep learning, neural network using PyTorch on Azure Machine Learning. To learn how to deploy a model, continue on to our model deployment article.

Eddy: But that's my shtick...
A main character who, although not an outright villain, constantly uses zany schemes to get money, become popular, etc., that always blow up at the end. He is often selfish, egotistical, bigoted and aggressive. The other main characters usually disdain him, but still hang out with him for some reason.
The schemer is often popular, despite the fact that any normal person would probably hate the schemer in real life. The audience likes the schemer, but not enough to mind watching his schemes come crashing down. In Animated Shows, the schemer usually gets the main plot, while in SitComs he usually gets the B-plot.
Frequently The Chew Toy. Compare with the more endearing and successful High School Hustler. This character is an integral part of a Comic Trio (along with a Dumb Muscle and Only Sane Man/No Respect Guy). Not to be confused with The Chessmaster, Guile Hero, Manipulative Bastard and definitely not the Magnificent Bastard, since these guys usually succeed.
- Count Olaf from A Series of Unfortunate Events starts off as this, but he's an outright villain through the rest of the series.
- A Song of Ice and Fire: Littlefinger possibly invokes this along with elements of the traitor as a disguise, and is ultimately a subversion; he presents himself as a Sarcastic Devotee who will gladly increase his power and wealth but is basically loyal to those he cares about, and probably not as clever as he thinks he is. The Paragon Ned Stark finds out the backstabbing way that Littlefinger is just as treacherous as his Sarcastic Confession claimed, and Littlefinger's as yet unbroken run of success throughout the series indicates that he is in fact a subtle Magnificent Bastard who is fully as clever as he thinks he is.
- Holly Harper on Brothers & Sisters. As William Walker's long-time mistress she has a complex relationship with his family, especially when it is believed that her daughter was William's and thus half-sister to the Walker siblings. Her schemes tend to revolve mostly around getting what she felt she was denied having never been William's actual wife (most notably a chunk of his business). Yet at the same time she has a semi-cordial relationship with the Walker's. Because she is more opportunistic then strategic, she does not really qualify as a Manipulative Bitch and a lot of her plans tend to go sour pretty quickly.
- Kenan on Kenan & Kel. Frequently these involved Noodle Implements.
- Edmund Blackadder. "I've got a cunning plan," indeed.
- Tony on NCIS frequently uses zany schemes to scare, annoy, or pry into the lives of his co-workers. In real life, if someone destroyed your keyboard, got the forensics specialist to look up your boyfriends, went through your desk, pretended to be you to defend himself to a hot chick, or came onto you using a fake online account, you would be very, very annoyed. However, Ziva and McGee just ignore him, or sometimes, gloriously, return the favour.
- On Shining Time Station, the character in this role is literally named Schemer. He constantly comes up with zany plans, sometimes dubiously legal ones, to leverage his corner arcade in the train station to become rich somehow.
- Deconstructed by The Nostalgia Critic. He will gather his team to help him get power, but instead of telling them why he's so desperate for it (i.e he's utterly miserable with the way his life has gone), he lets them believe he's only doing it for reasons of being a greedy fuckhead.
- Eddy on Ed, Edd n Eddy.
- This is the focus of several episodes, including but not limited to, Eddy training Jimmy to be just like him, the kids getting sick and Eddy going crazy from having nobody to scam and Eddy returning to Jimmy when he runs out of scam inspiration.
- Eddy also often refers to his brother as his inspiration for some scams. We get to meet him near the end of The Movie.
- Crawford Crow in Columbia Pictures' Fox and the Crow cartoons. The cartoons themselves are little-known, but the characters also starred in a long-running DC Comics series.

It's widely acknowledged in the manosphere that women operate on a dual mating strategy. It's most succinctly described as Alpha Fucks, Beta Bucks. Women simply want to have their cake and eat it to, in any scenario where they're allowed to get away with it. The common path of today's young woman is to ride the cock carousel throughout her prime years of beauty and fertility, and then snag some hapless beta dupe with money when she has exhausted the last drop of her sexual vitality. By this time she's saddled with a five-figure debt, an incurable disease, a partner count that would make Lord Byron blush, and a terrible attitude.
This has been a known issue since the dawn of civilization, and the wanton promiscuity of women is what led to the implementation of strict patriarchy to begin with. If you ask any women, she'd call it the other way around – women are unfaithful as a reaction to overbearing and possessive men. This is demonstrably false.
Women are born nation-wreckers. They have very little integrity, honor, or allegiance to higher ideals. Their rampant psychological projection has them accusing men of being rutting pigs, when the opposite is true. Men are far more likely to develop romantic and emotional attachments, where women will allow themselves to be plundered by any Joe who momentarily tickles their fancies. The more luxury and security a woman is provided, the higher her propensity to extramarital affairs. Her excuses are always the same. She's bored. Her husband works too much. She doesn't receive enough attention. She doesn't feel desired anymore.
Civilized society is a by-product of patriarchy, not the reverse. Patriarchy is a prerequisite for any successful community. It occurs naturally in every corner of the world, in every lasting people, from the smallest Amazonian tribal village to the largest urban metropolis. It is a social construct, but one that is instinctive, natural, and healthy.
Since the systematic dismantling of American patriarchy began in the 1950s, we have seen a direct correlation in the drastic degradation of civilization's markers of health. Without patriarchy, society quickly falls to degeneracy, until it is ultimately conquered and subsumed by foreign invaders. This was true in the early Roman empire just as it's true in modern day London, Paris, and New York.
The social contract is pretty simple. Young women are expected to choose a qualified suitor in her prime years of fertility. She is to save her body for marriage, and give her husband as many children as can comfortably be provided for. She is to remain faithful to her husband in body and spirit. She is to strive to be the best mother, wife, and homemaker that she can be, constantly working to improve areas of weakness. She is to forswear frivolities and material luxuries in favor of the economic health of the household. She is to respect her husband's leadership, and refrain from cursing, insulting, or overtly challenging him, particularly in the public eye or in front of their children. She is to honor her husband by accepting his as the final word in matters of importance, even if she quietly disagrees. In compensation for doing all this, she provides the motivation for beta males to build and maintain a livable society. A society where women have comfort, convenience, and security.
This may sound like a tall order, one that's absolutely unthinkable to the spoiled modern woman. Mention any of these responsibilities and she will shrink away in horror like a vampire exposed to sunlight. She will bitterly accuse you of wanting to go back to the 1950s – when society was vastly more happy, healthy, and successful than it is today.
This list of demands is not unreasonable in the slightest, when contrasted against the expectations of men. A good husband is supposed to be strong, hard-working, decisive, wise, temperate, fair, and equanimous. He is to sublimate his physical, emotional, and financial needs to those of his family. He is to restrain his natural libido lest it destroy the sanctity of his marriage. He is to never reveal vulnerability or emotions of weakness, fear, or self-doubt. He is to continually increase his worth in the marketplace, and give his earnings selflessly to support his household. He is to take risky, unpleasant, and even life-threatening assignments if that is what's needed to put bread on the table. He is to innovate and build a comfortable and secure civilization that serves to protect women and children. He is to defend his home from all intruders, sacrificing his life when necessary. He is to march to the battlefield and fight for his nation when called upon. He is to be of such unimpeachable character to serve as intellectual and spiritual leader of his home. He is to be a social bulwark enforcing higher standards of morality in both his community and his domicile. He is to dole out even-handed justice in matters large and small. And he is to take all blame for the failures of his household, and little of the credit for the successes. And in addition to all this, he is to maintain the social illusion that women are 100% equal to men in every way!
To be fair, both men and women of the present day typically fall short of these expectations. At least in the past, they were elevated as worthy ideals to strive for. Since the so-called liberation of the female ego, these values have been relentlessly mocked, challenged, and degraded, to the point where it's laughable to contemplate their place in modernity. They have been relegated to quaint relics of a bygone era.
And yet, we are all worse off for it. Especially the children, who have suffered the most under the unbridled passions and frivolities of the female id.
The common scenario today is that men are hopelessly attempting to meet these expectations and demands which have never lightened up. They are mercilessly shamed and derided when the fall short, told to man up, and stop behaving like a woman. Mainstream media and entertainment proclaims that men are dogs, or chauvinist pigs, that masculinity is toxic. That we live in a rape culture, and men must police each other. That men are inherently privileged, and they must give away all that they've worked for to balance the scales. That there is a secret Old Boys' Club that automatically grants men all the good things in life regardless of their merit.
On the other hand, women have rejected all forms of shaming against their sex. They are encouraged to value themselves far above their actual worth. There is no female equivalent of man up, or stop acting like a little girl. It's forbidden to shame women for being morbidly obese, for sleeping around, for getting abortions, doing drugs, or being financially irresponsible. There are no societal expectations of women at all, except, paradoxically, that they cease behaving like traditional women. If you ask a woman what her responsibilities are in order to be considered a good woman, she'll return a blank stare, followed by a hateful "how dare you" grimace. In their minds, the only thing they should do is "follow their dreams" however destructive or unrealistic they might be. In this context, the word dreams is interchangeable with whims.
In short, the modern woman expects to get away with doing anything and everything that crosses her mind, with no social, legal, or financial consequences whatsoever. If they ever find themselves in trouble, men are to bail them out. If they aren't pulling their weight at work, male co-workers are to pick up their slack. If they break the law, they expect to be shown leniency on the basis of their sex. If they cheat on their partners, we are to blame the man for not being attentive to their needs. No matter how egregious their offenses, they demand second, third, and fourth chances, because gosh, golly, they are just poor helpless little girls when they want to be. And the pathetic white knights who are thirsty for any form of female affection, will constantly enable the worst traits of women everywhere.
Modern women in the West have not just broken the social contract, they have ripped it into shreds and lit it on fire while laughing maniacally. They expect men to uphold all their traditional duties and burdens, while they assign themselves total freedom from responsibility. To hold women to any standard at all is to be sexist and toxic.
Something's got to give. This state of affairs is anything but sustainable. As more and more men wise up and drop out of the rigged game, marriage and fertility rates continue to plummet. Women refuse to give up any of their ill-gotten material luxuries and so they insist on bigger and more bloated governments, which are forced to steal from our future to make up the balance. Despite all this frantic maneuvering to avoid upsetting our precious princesses, we still find ourselves $22 trillion in debt.
There is no doubt that foreign invaders with much more conservative views about families and women's rights are set to usurp our power in the nations we built. This is how empires always end…excessive power is granted to women by their cowed and cucked men, and the whole thing ends in shambles. The barbarians loot all the wealth and then start over again, with women treated as chattel property, until the whole cycle repeats itself.

I will be starting a new series of Strange Confessions dealing with best friends. Part of my idea behind Strange Confessions is to reveal myself more in the humorous and odd behavior I have and perhaps will always exhibit, and how that has made me into who I am now. This is a chance for me to have a lot more things to write about, as there is much odd behavior I have purported over the years with many different best friends I have had. I look forward to writing more. Thank you.

Industry consultants from Milliman Inc. assert in a July 11 report that blockchain — which is described as a real-time digital ledger for building secure networks — "could potentially transform the relationship between payers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesalers, and pharmacies by offering an alternative, transparent mechanism for processing, pricing, and validating prescription transactions."
Using blockchain technology, payers and pharmacies would reduce the time they spend validating insurance coverage, making phone calls and managing data, Milliman explains. The firm is urging PBMs to work to "evaluate a blockchain alternative now with an eye toward a more efficient drug financing system" capable of handling additional technology improvements, AIS Health reported.
"We're just trying to get people thinking outside the box, and I believe blockchain has applications with supply chain management, claim-processing and transparency to the consumer," says Brian Anderson, a principal for Milliman and co-author of the blockchain paper.
In the Milliman report, Anderson and his colleagues, Gregory Callahan and Michael DiPrima, note the current electronic approach to processing pharmacy claims is a sometimes opaque, centralized database management system managed by the PBM.
By contrast, blockchain's database management system model would be decentralized. Milliman explains that means a distributed network of "nodes" would validate all transactions and would store data throughout the distributed network rather than in a centralized server.
The Milliman consultants conclude blockchain technology "appears to hold great promise for the PBM marketplace." But they concede there are obstacles to overcome, explaining that while blockchain has shown great potential for security in cryptocurrency, its true potential in health care has not yet been evaluated.

The writer has a grudge against society, which he documents with accounts of unsatisfying sex, unrealized ambition, unmitigated loneliness, and a sense of local and global distress. The square, overpopulation, the bourgeois, the bomb and the cocktail party are variously identified as sources of the grudge. There follows a little obscenity here, a dash of philosophy there, considerable whining overall, and a modern satirical novel is born.

Hon'ble @AndhraPradeshCM @ysjagan is very clear on Capital issue: 1) We want overall State Devel, 2) To this end we have announced de-centralised model of devel with #Kurnool, #Vizag & #Vijayawada all included – 1 @yvsubbareddymp @VSReddy_MP@BugganaR @YSRCParty#APCapitals
#Kurnool as judiciary Center is good & will develop #Rayalaseema region & since easy driving distance from #Hyderabad, AP clients will be able to get the best legal services from legal fraternity based in Hyd and slowly a second legal Center w jobs will develop in Kurnool -2
We remain committed to #Vijayawada / #Amaravati region. Our Govt w bring new Invsts in Inland Logistics, Medicine, Agri, Edu etc to Vja region & further develop these sectors here which have natural locational advantage here. Farmers & their lands will be our top priority here -3
#Vizag is natural & logical choice for Executive & Financial Capital. It's an already developed city w GDP of USD 43bn & has many industries, port, navy base, IT, Infra already. Diverse population. Close to backward North Andhra region which will benefit those poor areas – 4
Picking #Vizag will help a cash starved state like AP. Govt does not need to spend extraordinary amounts to build a new city, Govt can benefit from an already developed city and the city will in turn further benefit and develop from Exec Capital being there, a win-win model – 5
Picking #Vizag as Exec Capital will attract Invsts to the State since investors will be attracted by the diverse and cosmopolitan nature of Vizag where they can base their HQ. In 5-10 yrs we think #Vizag has the potential to reach the level of #Hyderabador #Bangalore – 6
#Vizag has huge tourism potential. Beaches, #Aaraku Valley, beautiful landscape, fantastic food & local culture all will attract tourists & with Exec Capital being there, tourism will receive further boost and investments. The potential for new ideas in tourism r immense – 7
#Vizag has a huge @indiannavy base and port. Again with the Exec Capital coming to Vizag, we can attract a lot of Invsts in #Defense related industries (like #Bangalorehas) and shipping etc. Again here we r taking advantage of an already existing infra and creating a win-win -8
AP needs & deserves a city to rival #Bangalore & #Hyderabad. With resources we have, only #Vizag works. It's simply not achievable w #Amaravati. Our youth & future generations need a major city where they can have a base (like it happened w Hyd decades ago). Only #Vizag works – 9
We want to assure all the farmers in #Amaravati who had so generously contributed their lands that their interests will be fully protected. Our Govt will find a suitable solution so that no one looses. Farmers are our Hon'ble CM's first priority and we will do all we can – 10
Let us support this historic move by Hon'ble @AndhraPradeshCM @ysjagan. This decision is the best in the long term interest of the State and future generations. The entire State will develop and benefit and in 10 yrs we will have a world class city we can all be proud of – 11

Here's What A Real-Life Hero Looks Like
Sometimes, strength of will defies even the most terrifying circumstances. One man has been identified as a fallen hero in the 16-hour-long hostage siege at the Lindt Cafe in Sydney: Cafe manager Tori Johnson reportedly tried to wrestle the shotgun from Islamic extremist Man Haron Monis, and was killed when the firearm went off. Johnson's act of bravery ultimately led the police to intervene and rescue the other hostages.
Lone gunman Monis took 17 people hostage inside the Lindt Cafe in Sydney on Monday, a siege that lasted into the early hours of Tuesday in Australia. At one point, cafe manager Johnson reportedly saw an opportunity to grab Monis' weapon, but was killed after it went off during the struggle. Johnson did not die in vain; his actions ultimately saved the day. The gunshot triggered the police's response to storm the cafe and free the remaining hostages. According to his coworkers, Johnson always put his employees first, and it was this selflessness that compelled him to stand up to the hostage taker and ultimately sacrifice his life.Former co-worker Peter Manettas told the Guardian:
He was a leader. He was a very selfless person, he always put his staff before anything else.
The 34-year-old Australian native also valued family, according to Manettas.
Family was very, very important to Tori. A day wouldn't go by in the period that he was working with us that he would not mention his family.
In a brief statement, his parents said:
We are so proud of our beautiful boy Tori, gone from this earth but forever in our memories as the most amazing life partner, son, and brother we could ever wish for.
Lindt Chocolate Cafe Australia's CEO Steve Loane also issued a statement on the company's Facebook page, saying:
[Tori] was a dedicated professional who always built a great rapport with his customers and was much loved by the Lindt team. By nature he was a perfectionist and he had a genuine passion for the hospitality industry and people. He was a really important part of our management team in Australia and his loss is absolutely tragic.
Even before the hostage situation, Johnson had proved himself to be an everyday hero. In April, Johnson helped a 6-year-old boy have his first chocolate Easter egg. When Johnson heard that Henry Henchcliff, who has a rare condition that limits his diet, had never had the treat, he made it his mission to make him one. And when he heard that Henry's sister couldn't have dairy, he made one for her too.
Henry's mother told the Sydney Morning Herald:
It's definitely something that stuck out in [Henry's] mind as being one of his best days. It taught him that people go out of their way for people.... We are devastated to hear of his passing and wish to pass along our appreciation of him and our deepest condolences to his family. We will always remember him fondly.
Johnson had been working at the Lindt Cafe for just over two years when the incident occurred. Before that, he worked in other cafes around Sydney and with the Nicks Restaurant and Bar group. Johnson graduated from Washington State University magna cum laude in 2003 with a bachelor's degree in hotel and restaurant administration.
The cafe manager wasn't the only hero that day. A cafe patron, 38-year-old Katrina Dawson, a mother of three and a lawyer who taught kids how to conduct mock trials, reportedly was hit when trying to shield her pregnant friend from the gunfire. She later died in the hospital.
In the wake of such intense tragedy, it's comforting to know that there are people like Johnson and Dawson in the world.
