A 14th American has tested particular for the unconventional coronavirus, hours after the Centers for Illness Control warned the spread of the disease within the U.S. changed into as soon as “seemingly.”
The actual particular person that tested particular changed into as soon as a form of evacuated from Wuhan, China, where the disease first emerged, on a flight that landed in California on Feb. 7, in preserving with the CDC. It is miles the second particular person on the San Diego navy inferior to test particular for the disease, nonetheless officials acknowledged the two arrived on a form of flights and there changed into as soon as no proof of particular person-to-particular person transmission within the quarantine.
Better than 600 folks live in quarantine within the U.S. after being flown out of China closing week, officials acknowledged.
Prime neatly being officials prepped Americans for the likelihood of novel coronavirus spreading in communities within the USA within the midst of a news convention earlier Wednesday.
“In some unspecified time in the future, we we’re at possibility of see community spread within the U.S.,” acknowledged Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the Nationwide Heart for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.
“[We] can and must soundless be willing for this novel virus to rob a foothold within the U.S.,” Messonnier acknowledged.
To this point, there are supreme 14 cases confirmed within the USA, in preserving with the CDC. The patients are in Arizona, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Washington and Wisconsin and all nonetheless two cases are linked to hotfoot to Wuhan, China.
The 13th case changed into as soon as reported in a patient who returned from Wuhan on one in every of the Affirm Department’s evacuation flights. Given the spread of the virus in Wuhan, it is no longer splendid to see a case of coronavirus amongst the repatriated Americans, Messonnier defined.
The patient is for the time being hospitalized with gentle signs. A combine-up on the CDC triggered an initial counterfeit detrimental diagnosis, which Messonnier known as “dreadful,” noting that the company has since establish additional quality reduction a watch on measures in establish to live future mistakes.
Among the important novel coronavirus diagnostic kits that had been mailed out to states closing week delivered inconsistent results when states tested them to make certain they labored appropriately. While some states must soundless be ready to originate up doing their very hold checking out this week, others are delayed while the CDC figures out what went execrable. Even when all states are up and working, the CDC will proceed checking out patient samples on the company’s headquarters in Atlanta.
“Tempo is valuable, nonetheless equally or more important, is making particular the lab results are only,” Messonnier acknowledged.
The company is soundless investigating whether or no longer 14 days is the most objective incubation interval for the virus, a process that is subtle by patients who would possibly presumably even hold gentle signs, or who are asymptotic while contaminated with the disease.
“We soundless assume that for on the current time, for now, 14 days is the supreme interval to make spend of,” Messonnier acknowledged.
In the intervening time, the CDC has screened more than 30,000 passengers at 11 U.S. airports. None of these screenings hold resulted in a novel coronavirus diagnosis to this point.
Countries reply to the specter of COVID-19
Shanghai is postponing its System One Chinese language Colossal Prix racing match, beforehand scheduled for April 19, as novel coronavirus continues to snort lives in China.
The resolution changed into as soon as made in show to “make certain the neatly being and safety of the traveling group, championship members and fans,” FIA, the world racing association, acknowledged in a press originate.
The Shanghai racecourse is positioned roughly 500 miles east of Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the outbreak.
At the identical time, Cambodia has authorized the Holland The United States cruise ship that had been wandering the seas within the hunt for a port, and must soundless enable passengers to disembark there, the firm acknowledged in a press originate. The ship, which changed into as soon as supposed to disembark in Yokohama, Japan, changed into as soon as rejected by a pair of countries, despite having no identified or suspected cases of the novel coronavirus amongst its passengers and group.
WHO Director Genera Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus rebuked countries which hold denied the ship entry to their ports, “continuously with out an proof-primarily based possibility analysis,” and praised Cambodia for giving the ship permission to dock.
“Outbreaks can bring out the correct and worst in folks,” he acknowledged within the midst of a Wednesday news briefing.
The Diamond Princess quarantine continues
In Japan, where travelers aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship hold been quarantined for over a week, the temper amongst passengers shifted Wednesday as dozens more folks tested particular for the unconventional coronavirus.
“[We] if fact be told real must bag off this boat,” New York resident Guy Cerullo told ABC Data in a textual dispute message.
What changed into as soon as supposed to be a honeymoon cruise around Asia has grew to turn out to be into a nightmare for Cerullo and his wife, Milena Basso, who are amongst the thousands of oldsters on board the Diamond Princess, which has been quarantined at sea since docking within the Japanese port of Yokohama on Feb. 3. At the least 174 folks aboard the vessel had tested particular for the novel coronavirus by Wednesday — with 39 novel cases within the previous 24 hours. One quarantine officer has also been contaminated, in preserving with Japan’s Ministry of Nicely being, Labor and Welfare.
All these contaminated with the disease hold been brought ashore for cure, while the a form of passengers live confined to their rooms on board till the quarantine interval ends, the ministry acknowledged.
The newlyweds, who had been in larger spirits when speaking to ABC Data earlier within the week, acknowledged the spiking quantity is caring and cabin fever is starting up to rob over.
“To imagine that they are soundless going to make spend of this boat is mind-blowing,” Cerullo acknowledged. “No one will ever desire to scoot on it.”
Some experts wondered whether or no longer the cruise ship quarantine changed into as soon as doing more wound than elegant.
“The problem with quarantine remains the dearth of skill in a closed atmosphere like this to withhold an infection prevention measures on a ship,” acknowledged Dr. Eric Cioe-Pena, director of world neatly being at Northwell Nicely being in New Hyde Park, New York. “We’re seeing numbers elevate dramatically, which seemingly methodology that there would possibly be ongoing spread of the virus on these ships. That’s referring to, because it is rising a second epicenter of the an infection in a Japanese port.”
A spokesperson for Princess Cruises, which operates the ship, confirmed the novel cases of coronavirus.

“We’re following steering from the Japan Ministry of Nicely being on plans for disembarkation protocols to supply scientific fancy these novel cases,” the spokesperson acknowledged in a press originate Wednesday.
Approximately half of of all folks that had been on board the Diamond Princess are from Japan, while more than 400 passengers are from the USA, in preserving with the cruise line spokesperson.
On Tuesday, the cruise line spokesperson confirmed to ABC Data that 23 Americans had been amongst these contaminated. It be unclear whether or no longer the novel cases consist of any U.S. voters.
The wife in but every other couple on board the ship, whom ABC Data interviewed earlier within the week, acknowledged her neatly being has declined. Utah resident Karey Maniscalco acknowledged she is tormented by kidney stones nonetheless hasn’t sought scientific attention because of “they are going to protect me by myself from the ship and leave my husband here.”
“I hear rumors when you happen to bag off they restart your quarantine, which is no longer one thing I will possibility,” Maniscalco told ABC Data in a textual dispute message Wednesday. “It be been very fascinating.”
Yet every other Utah resident, Melanie Haering, who is on the cruise with her husband John to hold an even time their retirement, acknowledged her partner has had a high fever and it took hours before they had been considered by a doctor. He has no longer but been tested for coronavirus, Haering told ABC Data in a textual dispute message.
The worldwide response to COVID-19
Since the most main cases of the newly stumbled on virus had been detected abet in December within the Chinese language metropolis of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, China’s Nationwide Nicely being Commission acknowledged Wednesday that it has recorded a filled with 59,841 confirmed coronavirus cases and 1,336 deaths.
The numbers surged on Thursday local time after China expanded its criteria for cases, at the side of “clinically identified cases,” similar to thru CT scans of the lungs, as in opposition to real confirmed lab tests. There hold been 14,840 novel cases in Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak, due to the the novel criteria. The series of deaths within yesterday reached 242 — 135 of which had been “clinically identified cases” — more than double the day prior to this-to-day high.
There are on the least 395 cases confirmed in 24 a form of countries, in preserving with the World Nicely being Organization, which has declared the outbreak a world neatly being emergency. The accurate deaths from the outbreak outside of China had been one every in Hong Kong, a certain administrative save of the nation, and the Philippines.
The unconventional coronavirus causes signs similar to pneumonia, ranging from gentle, similar to a puny cough, to more extreme, at the side of fever and order breathing, in preserving with the CDC. There is now not this sort of thing as a vaccine but for the virus, nor any identified efficient therapeutics.
WHO Director Overall Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus launched Tuesday that the coronavirus is now known as COVID-19. “Co” stands for coronavirus, “Vi” is for virus and “D” is for disease, he acknowledged.
On Wednesday, the WHO concluded its two-day research and innovation forum in Geneva, which brought collectively more than 300 scientists from across the arena to reduction reduction a watch on and live the outbreak. Prime priorities for the community consist of diagnostics, an infection prevention, potential therapies to take care of patients and accelerating the reach of COVID-19 vaccine candidates.

The work of Nicholas Wolterstorff, whether it concerns religious arguments in public discussion, political theology, aesthetics and religion, justice, liberal democracy, or many others, is always worth reading. A few years ago, I participated in a very worthwhile conference concerning Professor Wolterstorff’s short book, The Mighty and the Almighty: An Essay in Political Theology (here’s my little reaction)–an important meditation on the continuing relevance of political theology today written from a distinctively liberal Christian perspective.
And now comes Wolterstorff’s newest book, Religion in the University (Yale University Press). It’s a timely and rather fraught subject, and I’m sure that whatever Wolterstorff says will be enlightening.
What is religion’s place within the academy today? Are the perspectives of religious believers acceptable in an academic setting? In this lucid and penetrating essay, Nicholas Wolterstorff ranges from Max Weber and John Locke to Ludwig Wittgenstein and Charles Taylor to argue that religious orientations and voices do have a home in the modern university, and he offers a sketch of what that home should be like. He documents how, over the past ve decades, remarkable changes have occurred within the academy with regard to how knowledge is understood. During the same period, profound philosophical advancements have also been made in our understanding of religious belief. These shifting ideals, taken together, have created an environment that is more pluralistic than secular. Tapping into larger debates on freedom of expression and intellectual diversity, Wolterstorff believes a scholarly ethic should guard us against becoming, in Weber’s words, “specialists without spirit and sensualists without heart.”

- 2010 Q5 3.2 FSI, 34k, picked up in June 2009
- Maintained by Audi (Audi care)
- Fuel - 99% of the time Shell 91 octane
- Typically drive around the city plus some highway - in S mode at times
- Rough idling/shudder about 2 months ago
- 2-3 tries before the car would start (usually twice a week). Over the last 3 weeks.
- Check engine light on for about a day (2 days ago)
So of course I came to the AudiWorld and other Audi forums (the Audi community is awesome
) which led me to believe this might be a carbon buildup problem based on the symptoms. I took it to my Audi dealer yesterday (Toronto area) and they confirmed that this is a carbon buildup problem. They'll be keeping my car for a few days and replacing the injectors under warranty - very decent dealer btw, always look into and fix any issues I bring to them - of course it helps that I'm always right
For those interested here's a summary of the information I've collected....
Issue - Direct injection engines such as FSI get carbon buildup on the valves and injectors because there is no fuel passing over them as it does for other engine designs - so no cleaning. This leads to misfires, loss of HP (substantial) and potentially other issues for the engine.
Turbo engines - 3.0 T (supercharged) and 2.0T seem to suffer a lot less from the carbon buildup issue, possibly due to higher engine temps in the manifold which burns off the carbon deposits.
What doesn't seem to work to prevent this:
- Catch cans don't have much effect (don't know the technical details are but something to do with the "gunk" coming out of the engine which isn't prevented by the catch can)
- Frequent oil changes
- Fuel additives (the additives never make it out to the valves so they have no effect)
What may work:
- Always using approved gas (top tier with detergents - not really convinced on what impact this would have...maybe burning cleaner so less deposits making it out to the valves)
- DIY cleaning agents for valves (probably shouldn't try this unless you know a lot about cars - I don't)
- Driving for a long distance (highway) once or twice a week - perhaps also combined with higher revs for a limited time 3000 - 40000rpms or so (to burn off deposits)
- Spirited driving (to burn off deposits)
Warranty and other stuff:
- Most decent dealers will clean/replace under warranty once there is a check engine light and error code confirms (there might not always be a check engine light). Might want to make sure the error code wasn't simply turned off.
- Audi doesn't seem to be doing anything in terms of adding this to maintenance probably due to the amount of time it takes; dealer told me half day's worth of effort. This is quite sad and unreasonable as we as customers who purchase these luxury products should be entitled to having these products work...seems basic to me.
- Out of warranty you're looking at about $500+ every 3 years or so. Audi should step up and extend the warranty for this issue, likely though they're probably waiting for a class action.
- For dealers who try to ignore you I suggest you tap into the great wealth of knowledge available in this forum and others so you can challenge your dealer. Persistence is also a great technique....
So that's it...if you have an FSI engine you will eventually get carbon buildup and possibly have to dish out some $$$. As for me I've ordered an S5 with a 4.2 V8 FSI (new S5 with 3.0T is just too ugly) which should be arriving this Christmas....maybe I can get a discount on the valve cleaning with two FSI engines
I'm an optimist....seriously though I will be writing a letter to Audi NA....this is so not cool Audi, clean up your act.

Two SEC Teams in First CFP Rankings
It's no surprise Alabama was the top rated team when the College Football Playoff committee released its first rankings Monday evening.
It was the #4 spot that generated some buzz.
Texas A&M, whose only loss was to Alabama, was rated ahead of undefeated Washington and nabbed the fourth spot.
Clemson and Michigan were rated #2 and #3 respectively.
Kirby Holcutt, chairman of the committee, said strength of schedule was the mitigating factor in rating the Aggies ahead of the Huskies.
Ohio State was rated #6, followed by Louisville, Wisconsin, Auburn and Nebraska to round out the top ten. Florida was #11, followed by Penn State and LSU.
The highest rated team from the Big 12 was Oklahoma at #14.
Among the Group of Five, Western Michigan was the highest rated team at #23, while Boise State was #24. The Group of Five champion with the highest rating automatically gets one of the New Years' Six bowls.

When you say "slaves freed in the UK", I assume you are referring to slaves in Britain's Caribbean colonies.
For Britain's Caribbean colonies, it used to be believed that most freed slaves adopted or were given the surname of their owner. However, more recent research shows that, although this did happen, there were other options available to free men and women. Guy Grannum, in his book Tracing Your Caribbean Ancestors lists the following sources for the origin of surnames:
- Surname of an owner - this could be the last owner or a former owner.
- Surname of father - a white master or employee, a freed man, a slave
from another plantation, or the name of the father's former or
- Surname of mother.
- Last forename - many captives had multiple names that were often used
to differentiate between slaves who had similar first names. Many
were surnames of local people and may have been kept as a surname
- Chosen surname - freed men and women could choose their surname,
maybe to confirm family ties, to disassociate themselves from former
owners, or after influential people.
- Given by the church or state for official purposes.
Although men and women could chose their surnames on emancipation, most, if not all, chose surnames from those among the local population. Individuals could (and did) change surnames, and the same individual might be recorded using a different surname on different documents.
Different sources seem to have been more prevalent depending on which island the people came from.
For Barbados, you might find Slave Names and Naming in Barbados, 1650-1830 informative. In this case it is worth noting that
"There was no clear tendency for slaves with surnames to bear the names of their owners or other slave masters".
This has been the source of a couple of "brick walls" in my own research on Barbados!
In the case of Jamaica, the diversity of Jamaica's people and their surnames is reflected in the island's Motto, "Out of Many One People." The inhabitants of Jamaica came from many different countries which complicates the question of surname origins even further.
A useful starting guide here is Jamaican Surname Origins from Jamaican Family Search.
A note about slaves in the United States:
In the United States, there has been some research has suggests that slaves were often known by the name of their original owner. This would not necessarily be their last owner. A useful source here is Herbert George Gutman's The Black Family in Slavery and Freedom, particularly chapter 6. [Note that this book is also available for a 14 day loan on Internet Archive - registration required]
Unfortunately, other sources contradict the results presented by Gutman. In 1783, the British military authorities compiled the "Book of Negroes" from evidence provided by black refugees from the American revolution. The original source material is available in the collection of the UK National Archives (Reference PRO 30/55/100), although unfortunately it isn't available online.
This, and evidence from manumission returns (mentioned in Grannum's book), showed that very few slaves possessed the same surnames as their owners.
It seems that the situation in the United States was just as complicated as it was in the Caribbean.

Mark Swilling will attend the 12th Meeting of the International Resource Panel (IRP) in Berlin taking place on 22-26 April, hosted by the German Government. The IRP was established in 2007 in response to the 4th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which made it clear that the global economy needs to be restructured (see http://www.unep.org/resourcepanel/ ).
The IRP has 23 members, all experts in sustainable resource use from many different regions of the world. A Steering Committee made up of UN Member States is responsible for overall governance, and UNEP provides the Secretariat. The primary focus of the IRP is on ways to restructure the global economy so that the rate of economic growth can be decoupled from the rates of global resource use (measured in tons). Unless there is an absolute reduction in the total quantity of materials required to sustain a global population of 9.5 billion people by 2050, civilization as we know will not survive. To this end, the IRP has generated a number of different expert reports.
One of the first was entitled Decoupling Natural Resource Use and Environmental Impacts from Economic which set the conceptual framework for the work of the IRP – Mark Swilling was one of the two co-lead authors of this report. Last week a second report that was led by Mark Swilling was released by the Directors of UNEP and UN-Habitat – entitled City-Level Decoupling: Natural Resource Flows and the Governance of Infrastructure Transitions. This report applies the decoupling concept to cities and argues that urban infrastructures that conduct the flow of the bulk of resources required by cities must become the focus of policies that envisaged more sustainable modes of consumption and production.
Mark Swilling will present a Terms of Reference for his next project to the IRP meeting next week, namely a critical assessment of the SMART City agendas that are now being promoted globally by many large technology companies. He would like to test claims that the SMART City solutions can result in more resource-efficient low carbon cities that are also more equitable.

In this week’s Babinec JOBS Effect podcast, Martin Babinec, candidate for the 22nd Congressional District, explains the difference between his plan to create jobs and the stories we’ve all heard from politicians that have – to date – produced little job growth results in Upstate New York.
Question: You’ve made jobs the focal point of your campaign. When you consider that people have heard politicians promising they’re going to create jobs, how do you look at the path to create jobs different as an entrepreneur?
A lot of politicians seem to want to get involved in using some of our tax dollars, which get moved over to some private company in the name of creating some sort of deal that will someday create jobs. And they love to stand in front of some sort of building and get their photo taken and say, “Wow! Look what I did for you!” Our real stumbling block when it comes to what causes entrepreneurs to not be able to create as many jobs as we would like has to do with the difficulty that entrepreneurs have in getting connected to the resources necessary for them to build a company out of nothing. And that’s why I started a nonprofit called Upstate Venture Connect that has, as it’s mission, helping first time entrepreneurs create companies and jobs. And I’ve really dedicated the last six years of my life to helping others go down that path in creating these new companies in these new industries with the goal of creating more jobs. We’ve also created six seed capital funds with local investors that actually get involved in helping these first time entrepreneurs create these companies and jobs, and get them connected to resources across Upstate New York and beyond. So that’s what I bring to Congress. It’s very different than how a politician looks at things.
And to learn more about Martin Babinec’s strategy for creating high paying jobs and companies in innovation industries, explore his new mission – the Upstate Jobs Party!


Regulator probing insurers’ use of ‘big data’
An investigation has been launched in the UK into the insurance industry’s use of ‘big data’; specifically how social media is trawled for insights into client behaviour. The Financial Conduct Authority is looking into how the data is being obtained and whether it puts consumers at a disadvantage, through increased premiums for example. The Daily Mail reports that the FCA is concerned at the lengths insurance companies are going to in order to harvest information and privacy campaigners are accusing the industry of ‘Big Brother’ snooping. The use of big data, including the vast amount of information disclosed by customers on social media channels, has huge advantages for the industry but this investigation could bring regulation of its use into focus.
Insurance growth should be boosted in 2016/17 says Swiss Re
A better global economic outlook should mean good news for the insurance sector according to Swiss Re. The global reinsurance firm has just released its annual insurance outlook in which it forecasts growth in the economy, supporting insurance growth, in 2016 and 2017. The non-life sector should see premium growth, led by an 8 to 9 per cent rise in emerging markets. Life insurers should “remain resilient in the face of major challenges” with improvement in premium growth and profits. The softness in reinsurance catastrophe property rates should moderate during 2016 the firm says, however growth in traditional life reinsurance premiums are expected to be “subdued” in advanced markets and “healthy” in emerging markets.
Canadian brokerage owner’s licence revoked
The owner of a New Brunswick insurance brokerage has had his licence to sell insurance revoked following a complaint about trustworthiness and competency. Dean E. Fletcher, the owner of Harvey’s Insurance Ltd. had been a broker since 1988 but had his licence revoked by the Financial and Consumer Services Commission of New Brunswick.

Many of these a cookbook would become famous throughout most kitchens.
To begin with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have talumein soup with hot and spicy chili oil using 17 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Talumein Soup With Hot and Spicy Chili Oil:
- Make ready For the Soup:
- Make ready 1 handful Instant Noodles
- Get 4 Boneless and Skinless Chicken Thighs (Chopped Finely)
- Take 4 Cups Chicken/Vegetable Broth
- Take 4 Cups Water
- Take 1 Medium Green bell pepper(Chopped Finely)
- Take 1 Bunch Green Onions
- Make ready 1/2 Inch Ginger (Minced)
- Make ready 4-6 Garlic Cloves (Minced)

- Get 1 Cup Cooking oil (Any except Sesame oil, Mustard Oil & Olive Oil) I used Canola Oil
- Prepare 2 Tsp Red Chili flakes (Heaped)
- Prepare 4 Dried whole red chilies (Broken into halves)
Heat the oil in a non-stick kadhai on a high flame, add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for a minute, while stirring continuously. Add the corn, vegetable stock, salt, pepper, soya sauce, sugar, mix well and bring to boil. Add the noodles, mix well and simmer till the noodles get cooked. Transfer to a small bowl (with oil).
Steps to make Talumein Soup With Hot and Spicy Chili Oil:
- (A) To make the Soup:
- Take a small measuring cup or bowl. Mix the Corn Starch with 1/4 cup of water to make a slurry. Set aside. - - Pour the Chicken Broth & Water into a large pot with lid.
- When it comes to a rolling boil, add the Chicken, Ginger, Garlic, Soya Sauce, Vinegar & Salt. - - Reduce heat to low & let it simmer covered for about 15 minutes.
- Slightly crush the Noodles to make it easier to eat. Add to the pot. Followed by the Mushrooms, Bell Peppers & Green Onions. - - Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. - We want the veggies to be crunchy & the noodles al dente.
- Reduce heat to low. Add the slurry. - Keep stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Serve hot with Chili Oil &/Or Chili Sauce. - - Garnish with Green Onions if you wish to. - - Note: You may totally omit the water & use 8 cups/2 Litres of broth.
- (B) To make the Chili Oil:
- Heat the cooking oil in a small frying pan or wok over medium heat.
- Add the chili flakes & broken chilies. Stir. - Take off the heat as soon as the chilies begin to sizzle.
- Do not let the chilies burn, please. - Let the oil cool down completely. - Store in a clean & dry glass jar. - Use as required.
- This is quite a versatile condiment. Can be used in Soups/Porridges, Stir fried Meats/Veggies, Pasta, etc.
Heat the cooking oil to medium in a small frying pan or wok. Add the chilli flakes & broken chilies. Hi Wei, I just make some Chinese Chili oil following this recipe. Well, I guess the oil wasn't hot enough. When I poured the red pepper flakes mix into the oil, there was no bubbling at all.
So that’s going to wrap this up for this exceptional food talumein soup with hot and spicy chili oil recipe. There will be men who are rather savvy inside the kitchen as well. And there are a number of chicken dishes, especially for fried chicken that will be out of this world –all made by the male sexual category. It might seem a surprise to hear this specific, but it really is a truth.In addition to for a moment let us maintain in mind the dietary value associated with chicken. It is high in protein, low in fat, and absolutely no carbs when skinless. You may be surprised to learn that it is a rich source of niacin, nutritional vitamins B-6, B-12, Vitamin D, iron, together with zinc! It is pretty close to be able to a perfect meat.

Okay , now I understand.
Nevermind. Thank you for your help!
I´m not that frustrated as it seems
Secretly, I was hoping you’d say, for example, no matter what happens - let’s try a more radical step ;o)
On the other hand, of course, understand that you don’t want to expose your phone to the danger of making it uncontrollable. Flashing, even with original Stock ROM firmware, can be dangerous.
As we know, even an OTA update can render a device inoperable, no matter if an Android Phone or a Windows PC.
Thanks for that information. I installed it last night and have a working phone at last! I managed to get rid of the google browser and install Yalp, Fdroid signal protonmail etc. without google play. (I am just a phone user with no software skills). e.foundation have a long way to go…
/e/ is not a rough idea. Without a doubt, it takes visions and a big goal to develop innovative products and solutions. Otherwise standstill prevails.
/e/ has achieved a lot in 1 1/2 years. A digital /e/ ecosystem will find more followers than LineageOS and LineageOS-for-mircoG combined.
You are right. I really hope it all comes together, it is a perfect ethos.
Anyone with the a3xelte device ?
We built a test build of /e/OS Pie for the device and it seems to have resolved the issue.
You can pick up the build here in case you want to test it
Pl note the device code name is a3xelte
/e/OS 9-Pie - What at first looks like a simple OS upgrade, turns out to be the universal problem solver at a closer look.
i had precisely the same problem and this Pie build solved it for me
Thanks a lot, this fixed the reboot problem for my a3xelte device.
When will the fix be in the official build?
/e/ documentation → Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016 Exynos) SM-A310F “a3xeltexx”
/e/ ROM latest dev build e-0.7-o-2020021240990-dev-a3xeltexx
TeamWin - TWRP Code Name: a3xelte
02/13/2020 - Exactly the same bug …
/e/ OS ROM build e-0.7-p-2020020439971-test-a3xelte.zip by_Manoj doesn’t show this peculiarity. Thank you @Manoj.
At least one question remains open: Why has such a serious bug not been fixed by the /e/OS Build Team until today? At least 10 months have passed since it was announced …
The simple reason is we do not have expertise in resolving hardware related issues in the dev team. Issues which are software related we can fix but ones related to hardware misbehaving have not been our strong point.
It is perfectly understandable that the /e/OS Build Team cannot fix hardware problems.
To call this failure a hardware bug is, if you will pardon my saying so, simply unjustified, @Manoj.
Your test /e/ OS ROM e-0.7-p-2020020439971-test-a3xelte.zip doesn’t show this bug. You didn’t change anything on the hardware, but built a software exclusively with your knowledge and skills. And the bug is already eliminated …
The fix for the issue was in the Pie branch. To port it to the nougat builds would have taken a level of expertise which we lack or did not have the resources to invest in. That was why it never made it through. Now this issue may be resolved in the a3xelte but is still there in some other versions which just do not build in Pie. May be because they do not have working pie versions. To fix the issue in those Samsung devices we need some additional skills.
Well @Manoj, we want to be in the best interest of /e/volution and hope that there will be many improvements in the next months due to the migration to /e/ OS 9-Pie and /e/ OS 10 (Q).
Yesterday I tried to install /e/ on a Samsung A3, the last e-0.7-o-2020021240990-dev-a3xeltexx.
And like other users trying this device, it finished during the first startup to a loop when we started the WLAN.
SO I tried the patch OS ROM e-0.7-p-2020020439971-test-a3xelte.zip .
But I tried with a fresh install, and formatted the partition.
TWRP installed the ROM correctly…
but the first boot finished with the e . dancing on a black background… undefinitively … (at least during 10 minutes)
I tried several time, with the same result.
So I reinstalled the e-0.7-o-2020021240990-dev-a3xeltexx.
and I red some more pages on this forum (english, or french pages)
I tried again. If some people can do it, why not me on my phone…
and I tried without wiping the partition, so I presume TWRP installed the test version like an update over the dev version, without modify the config.
reboot… and /e/ started correctly, directly on the desktop. (without the setup pages)
WLAN is ok. surf seems ok
Now I can try /e/… and have fun.
Have a nice day / Bonne journée
I just did my first try in Android flash ROM installation.
I did this first attempt with a Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016 Exynos) out of order because of a faulty battery.
With a new battery in place, I followed the instructions explained HERE
Like I said it was my first attempt, so it worked at the 2nd or 3rd try but it worked ! I used for that the last ROM downloadable : e-0.7-o-2020032847188-dev-a3xeltexx.zip
It worked well, and I was discovering the /e/ universe using wifi to download apps, looking the functionalities, etc…
And suddenly, the phone restarted and entered in a bootloop until I cut the WIFI router.
After reading all the messages on this post I tryed to install the patch ROM given by @Manoj ( e-0.7-p-2020020439971-test-a3xelte.zip).
I didn’t know how to proceed so I tryed to install directly with an adb sideload command without wiping the phone. It didn’t work. Re-installed the first one and try to install the patch like an update with the TWRP Install fonction (after copying the ROM on the phone). It didn’t work either.
At last I wiped all my phone and installed directly the patch and it finally worked.
I hope the official version will include the correction soon.
And when it’s done, will I have to re-flash my phone, or will it be a simple update ?
Thank you for all your work !
I also have the boot-loop when I enable WLAN If I disable the router, the phone starts normally.
Now I’m new on /e/ and I had bought an used phone specifically for this “ungoogled OS”.
If I had known that this bug existed, my decision would be different.
Nevermind, I could not find out if a bugfix exist meanwhile.
The above linked “Pie” test image is no more available.
Are still working on a solution to the problem?
Thank you very much indeed!
after installation do a rom update for a later version
Works fine for me
I’ve successfully build an image from e-0.12.3-p-UNOFFICIAL-a3xelte with docker. The e-0.13 and e-0.14 versions compile successfully, but the phone went in bootloop.
I cannot use the official oreo version because of the wifi reboot issue.
Can someone help me to find out what the issue is with the 0.13/0.14 versions?
i can share the Pie ttest image if people still need it
The official Q update is expected for february

"East Beats West"
Soft Power, a new, self-described “play with a musical” at the Public (after being premiered at LA’s Center Theatre Group), reminds us that, several years ago, David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly), who wrote its book and music, was stabbed in the neck in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. The perpetrator, like his motive, remains unknown.
Having nearly cost Hwang his life, it became the inspiration for this ambitious show, with a score (and additional lyrics) by Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home), which satirizes a host of political and social issues in a generally entertaining but overlong and thematically overstuffed way.
Given the Public’s full production support, with a 22-piece orchestra (occasionally silhouetted on multiple levels behind an upstage scrim), the 14-actor show, energetically staged by Leigh Silverman, creates a semi-autobiographical, metatheatrical reality via the presence of a character called David Henry Hwang (DHH hereafter).
Like the real person of that name, DHH is America’s foremost Chinese-American playwright. He’s played by the excellent Francis Jue, who happens, however, to be nothing like the real DHH in either affect or appearance. What will become the show’s musical theatre centerpiece is meant to be happening in DHH’s imagination as he lies bleeding in the street.
|Ensemble of Soft Power.|
Although this is a musical, it doesn’t actually become one until about 20 minutes in, after the dramatic setup (thus: “a play with musical”). This involves a Shanghai theatrical producer, Xūe Xíng (Conrad Ricamora), who comes to New York to hire DHH as the writer for a musical based on a popular Chinese movie.
The movie tells of a married couple who, though attracted to other people, decide to stay together, following their duty rather than their hearts, a Chinese outcome the American DHH rejects. Xūe, representing the Shanghai Municipal Government, hopes to appropriate for China the art of the Broadway musical, making Shanghai the theatre capital of Asia, with DHH writing their first show.
Many issues arise, largely, but not entirely, in the musical DHH imagines, which becomes an international classic whose revival we’re watching decades later. They highlight East-West cultural appropriation and misunderstandings; American versus Chinese conceptions of marriage and family; the American-born DHH’s confusion regarding his national identity; the secondary nature of Asian characters in American theatre; Chinese versus American methods of choosing leaders; the electoral college; democracy; the 2016 election; Hillary Clinton's loss; the unexpected president whose name is never spoken; gun violence; the use of “soft power”—cultural achievements (like Catcher in the Rye and Saturday Night Fever (!)—to gain political capital (making America more like China than the other way around); and more. There are so many, in fact, some become little more than boxes on a check-off list.
Much as liberal audiences will appreciate or even laugh at Soft Power’s anti-Trumpian attitudes, or the skewed view of America as seen from the outside, the humor falls largely on the heavy-handed side, not unlike an extended (two hours and 15 minutes, in fact) SNL sketch. Or maybe the idea of Clinton twerking, for example, to earn votes is more hilarious than I give it credit for. There’s even a fantasy scene set among musical theatre academics many years in the future, intended to satirize the notion that China will become the world’s musical theatre leader.
Happily, the multitalented company of actors—all except for Louis—of Asian extraction, is thoroughly delightful. Dancing, singing, playing multiple roles, and even—in two cases—roller skating, they keep the show afloat even when their material succeeds more because of its enthusiasm and spirit than its artistic quality.
|Conrad Ricamora, Francis Jue.|
A visit of the DHH and Xūe to a New York revival of The King and I establishes the idea of how Western musicals about Asian cultures privileges distorted white perceptions of nonwhite societies, with non-Asian actors playing Asian characters. Thus, following DHH’s post-election stabbing, we get the alternative reality of an Asian musical about America, in which he imagines a The King and I scenario in which the “king” and “I” roles are reversed between Xūe and Hillary.
We see America through Asian eyes, with images as misguided as those we perpetuate ourselves, showing Americans as pistol-packing, mob-like thugs, or presenting New York with a Golden Gate Bridge, or imagining McDonald’s as a fancy dining establishment, with roller-skating waiters. This fun-house mirror, however, quickly clouds over and loses its impact.
|Alyse Alan Ricamora and company.|
The imaginary musical, which focuses on Xūe, who in the framing story has a white, American girlfriend, Zoe (Alyse Alan Louis), transfers this affair to a romance with Hillary Clinton (also played by Louis). It simultaneously enacts a plot about DHH writing a show based on the same story his nonmusical counterpart has been asked to concoct. And while the music often suggests pastiches of Broadway standbys like “Shall We Dance” and “The Rain in Spain,” the most memorable number is a serious love song, “Happy Enough,” sung by Xūe and Hillary.
|Alyse Alan Louis, Conrad Ricamora.|
Confusing as the plot may sound, it’s usually clear enough in practice as enacted in a variety of cleverly designed sets by the gifted Clint Ramos, including a jetliner pointing its nose at the audience, supplemented by Bryce Cutler’s video designs. Anita Yavich’s numerous costumes add plenty of visual wit, and Mark Barton’s expert lighting makes it all look good. With Sam Pinkleton’s well-executed choreography adding lots of fun, audiences have plenty to enjoy even when the script itself leaves something to be desired.
|Alyse Alan Louis, Conrad Ricamora.|
Jue brings a sweet poignancy to DHH’s dilemmas, Louis’s performances as Zoe and Hillary display her limber dancing and solid singing, although she works a bit too hard to hit the big notes in her 11 o’clock number, the invigorating, gospel-style “Democracy.” She also looks great in a Wonder Woman costume. Ricamora is an appealing and talented leading man as Xūe. Whatever his actual ethnicity, though, he doesn’t look particularly Chinese, nor have a consistently believable Chinese accent.
This, by the way, seems ironic given DHH’s complaint about the casting of non-Asians in Asian roles, including the inauthentic accents they frequently employ. What, in this racially sensitive arena, exactly constitutes an Asian actor or qualifies a Filipino or a Thai to play a Chinese or Japanese? The same, of course, could be asked of "white" actors and the broad range of ethnicities they get to play.
Soft Power is wonderfully performed, original, and challenging, but lacks the hard power needed to lift it to the next level.

What Are California’s Laws on Knives?
This article about knife laws is for informational purposes. It points out specific laws for the jurisdiction I mention in the article. It also lets you know you may have to check on a particular jurisdiction’s (i.e. city, county, state) statutes, ordinances and rules to see if what you are carrying is legal. You can find these ordinances on the public entity’s website. I have received hundreds of inquiries and cannot answer them all so I encourage you to take a look on the relevant website.
Many riders carry a weapon, such as a knife or firearm, for personal safety reasons. Unfortunately, California riders must always keep in mind the risk that they will become the target of harassment and unjust profiling by law enforcement officers. This means that even law-abiding riders carrying a weapon should know and understand the laws on when, where, and how they can carry weapons to avoid additional harassment or criminal penalties.
California has some of the nation’s most restrictive laws on carrying knives. Learn more below about the limits on carrying a knife in California.
Carrying a knife in public in California
California law permits individuals to openly carry most knives. You can carry a “dirk” or “dagger”—a straight-blade knife with or without a hand guard that can be used as a stabbing weapon and which can cause serious or fatal physical injuries—openly, in a sheath that is suspended from your waist. If the knife is concealed in any way, then you could face misdemeanor charges which carry fines and even the possibility of jail time. There are certain types of knives that individuals can carry in their pocket or otherwise in a concealed location, such as folding knives, box cutters and utility knives that don’t meet the definition of a switchblade.
Switchblades carefully regulated in California
Switchblades are subject to strict limitations in California. According to California Penal Code section 21510, carrying a switchblade knife with a blade over two inches in length or storing it in the driver’s area of a motor vehicle is a misdemeanor. It is also a crime to sell, loan, or give such a knife to someone else. The term “switchblade” includes any knife with a spring blade, snap blade, or gravity blade that is two or more inches in length and can be released using the weight of the blade or by pressing a button, flicking your wrist, applying pressure to the handle, or using some other mechanism. If the knife can only be opened using thumb pressure on the blade itself or with a thumb stud attached to the blade, and it has some other mechanism that places some resistance on the blade being opened or that biases it towards closing, then it does not qualify as a switchblade.
There are many other types of knives that are completely banned from being sold or possessed in California. These include many knives that are disguised in other objects, such as belt buckle knives, lipstick knives, air gauge knives, writing pen knives, or cane swords, as well as knives with blades that can’t be detected by metal detectors (such as ceramic or crystal blades).
San Francisco imposes greater restrictions on carrying knives
The City of San Francisco places its own restrictions on carrying knives in public. San Francisco law makes it a crime to carry a dangerous or deadly weapon while loitering in a public place. “Dangerous or deadly weapon” includes: a knife of over three inches in length; any cutting, stabbing, or bludgeoning weapon; or any other weapon or device capable of inflicting serious physical harm. It is also a misdemeanor in San Francisco to carry, sell, or give someone else a switchblade, spring-blade, snap-blade, or any other knife that opens automatically through a mechanical device.
Los Angeles also goes beyond California law
The City of Los Angeles, on paper, goes further than the state rules as well, making it illegal to carry in plain view any knife, dirk or dagger having a blade 3″ or more in length, along with any ice pick or similar sharp tool, any straight-edge razor or any razor blade fitted to a handle. See Los Angeles City Code § 55.10. There are certain exceptions when the knife is for use in a lawful occupation, for lawful recreational purposes, or as a recognized religious practice, for instance, with the Sikhs. See Los Angeles City Code § 55.10. The County of Los Angeles has a parallel rule, which makes it illegal to openly carry “any knife having a blade of three inches or more in length; any spring-blade, switch-blade or snap-blade knife; any knife any blade of which is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device; any ice pick or similar sharp stabbing tool; any straight-edge razor or any razor blade fitted to a handle.” See LA County Ordinances § 13.62.010-020. So basically, it’s illegal in Los Angeles County to openly carry any knife with a blade of 3″ or longer, sheathed on your hip or not. The same sportsman and religious exemptions apply at the county level. See LA County Ordinances § 13.62.030.
Los Angeles Code § 55.01 also makes it illegal to carry any weapon at all concealed on one’s person. Basically, in Los Angeles, it’s illegal to carry a blade over 3″ whether that’s openly or concealed. Note, however, that the courts have made conflicting rulings regarding the applicability of Los Angeles city and county ordinances in relationship to conflicting state laws.
And that’s not all, either
There are a number of other California knife laws as well, including laws prohibiting cane swords and other disguised blades (Penal Code 20510), laws prohibiting the possession of knives on school grounds (Penal Code 626.10), laws prohibiting possession of knives in a government building (Penal Code 171b) and laws making it illegal to brandish a knife or any deadly weapon (Penal Code 417). Violating these laws can land you in county jail or state prison for up to a year. Violation of the brandishing statute carries a mandatory minimum of thirty days in jail.
If you have been the victim of motorcycle profiling, a violation of your civil rights, or you are otherwise in need of help from a knowledgeable California motorcycle rights lawyer, contact the seasoned and effective San Francisco biker rights lawyer William E. Weiss for a free consultation at 415-362-6765.


Back in February (I think) I took a Tablet weaving workshop sponsored by my guild. One of our members, John Mullarkey taught the class. I had a great time and immediately warped my inkle loom at home so I could play with “Egyptian Diagonals” and doublefaced weaving. I had checked out Peter Collingwood’s Book on Tablet Weaving from the guild library, so I used a font in it to practice the double-faced weaving. I very shortly learned how to unweave. Yikes. That can be a huge pain if you’re not paying attention to what you’re doing.
I had to return that book, so my warp sat for a while, just waiting for me to pick it back up. In the meantime, I ordered Linda Hendrickson’s book, Please Weave a Message. I finished the practice band last week.
It’s a band with no real purpose other than to entertain a cat and its owners. It says “hi my name is roland i am orange and stripey meow!
This is my first “real” handspun. I have messed around with spinning before, but without really knowing what I was doing. Then I got a copy of Start Spinning by Maggie Casey. I took it slowly and did it all on my spindle. I’m a lot more comfortable after spinning these 4 oz of fiber.
And here’s a detail shot. You can tell I’m not terribly consistent yet, but I’m getting better. I think it was best for me to just get through this fiber rather than trying to fret over it and make it perfect.
First off, Bety from Deep end of the Loom nominated me for a creative blogger award. It was so very nice of her to think of me! Unfortunately she also caught me right at the conversion of my blogger blog into wordpress, so I’m late with the thanks and haven’t the energy to pass along much more.
Well, I’m here now. Brent converted the blog for me (yay Brent!) but I didn’t have the time to sit down and figure out how to update now that everything was new. I haven’t changed the template or updated links or anything, but at least there are signs of life in this little old blog. I’m bummed that blogger ended support for FTP publishing, but it seems like wordpress has a lot of options so I might be alright here.
In weaving news, I finished the second cashmere scarf but still need to take photos. I also finished some tablet weaving that turned out just adorable! I will have to make an effort to take some photos and get them up here
The gray scarf is done! Here are some hastily taken photos in the waning light of my hotel room.
I was taking a small break after the napkin marathon to participate in the knitting Olympics. I spent the 17 days of the Olympic games working on a sweater. It was a simple top down raglan style with a lace pattern, based on Elizabeth Zimmerman’s baby jacket from her Knitter’s Almanac.
And here it is:
I might go back and make the sleeves longer at some point. I haven’t decided.
Toward the end of the Olympics, I was contacted by a friend of my sister. She was wanting some hats and scarves made. One of her requests was for a scarf in either charcoal gray, or shades of black, navy and gray. I had quite a bit of Zephyr in black and white. I also had some tencel in Navy and gray. Then I realized I could use some un-knitted cashmere in charcoal gray as a weft to pull a multicolor warp together. I thank Bonnie for the idea of the cashmere. While I was off in Minneapolis last week, I did the unknitting. This weekend I pulled together all the various yarns.
The balls in front are the gloriously soft cashmere. I ended up with over 4 oz from one sweater!
I then wound my warp on Friday night while watching Manor House on DVD. It was supposed to be “girls night” out, but I had a terrible cold and didn’t want to pass it along to everyone. I’m feeling much better now, thankfully.
Saturday I was quite busy helping Robin with wedding preparations,but I did manage to get the reed sleyed:
And this morning I threaded the heddles and wound the warp on. Despite the various fibers it wound on quite nicely as I listened to Frankenstein on Craftlit. I’m working my way through all the old episodes now, and gosh, they’re a lot of fun.
Then I wound my first lovely cashmere bobbin and got to weaving! Here’s the first six inches:
And here’s a closeup shot:
The straight twill structure lets some of the weft color shine through, but the overall effect is definitely of gray. You can’t imagine how soft this is too! I’m accustomed to weaving things that feel a bit rough until they’re wet finished, but this cashmere is extremely soft already.
I have enough warp on here for two scarves–one for my sister’s friend and one for ? I think everyone I know will want it as soon as they touch it.
At the request of my friend Erika, I’ve been making a set of 8 napkins. Her request was for some every-day napkins that would wash easily and of a color that would disguise any potential curry stains. I had some dark red 8/2 cotton that was just the right color. She picked out some patterns that appealed to her, and I did a sample with 6 versions so she could feel the fabric and pick out what she wanted.
We settled on Davison’s Shadow Twill draft, tromp as writ. Note that the sample of Treadling 1 in her book does a really interesting diagonal netting pattern with a lot of draw in. I think it would be very interesting to alternate in stripes with a plain weave pattern for a seersucker effect.
Anyway, the weaving part of my napkin endeavor had to wait until this weekend because last weekend I was in a 2-day workshop on Tablet Weaving with John Mullarkey. Wow, was that eye opening. I had a vague idea of how cards could be used, but I hadn’t ever gotten around to trying it. We did threaded-in color patterns, and double-faced weave, and egyptian diagonals. I have many plans for projects with those techniques. My step-mom has requested a keychain with her name on it already The kittehs may need custom made collars. The ideas are endless. I will take pictures of some of my samples one of these days. The light is terrible today, as you will see from the napkins.
And back to the napkins. I used some spools of 100% cotton Gutermann thread for the hems. Wow, did it work out well! The hems aren’t bulky at all, and the color was a great match. My only complaint is the price of the thread. I’ll have to watch for sales at Joanns and Hancocks when I’m in need of thread. I put the thread spools directly on my shuttle in the place of a bobbin, so I saved a ton of time by not having to wind bobbins with sewing thread. Yay for that!
Then while they were in the wash, Brent and I went to lunch. After lunch I put on a Craftlit Podcast (an old one as I am working my way through the archives), and I did the pressing and hemming. My iron was on super-steam settings so I had to put the napkins over the railing to dry a bit after I finished the pressing.
Look at that amazingly similar row of napkins. I’m quite impressed with my ability to make 8 things alike. I’ve never done that before I usually end up switching something part way through, but since these were for a friend, I pushed onward and measured carefully and they came out wonderfully.
On another topic, I got the distressing news that blogger will no longer support publishing via FTP as of the end of March. That means I won’t be able to use them anymore. Brent has installed wordpress for me so I can play around with it and hopefully get that going.
I’m also participating in this year’s knitting olympics with a sweater project for myself–the February Lady Sweater available on ravelry. Fun! I should go take a shower and get to knitting.
Happy Valentines Day!
I finished the crackle towels, and the two pillows from the crackle towel fabric. What fun! I even was able to add buttons and buttonholes to the pillow sham. Yay for the new sewing machine’s buttonhole function
Today I’m starting to wind a warp for some napkins for Erika. I also need to wind off some 10/2 cotton for next weekend’s workshop on tablet weaving.
The Teal/Turquoise towels are off to their new owner. Well, 4 of them are. I’m left with two that I’ve listed on Etsy:
And after a terrible struggle with a very weak warp yarn, I finished weaving a bunch of crackle towels. I ended up using nearly a can of hairspray to try to keep the warp threads from breaking. I also used a paper clip temple to help minimize draw in. It all worked quite well and after a disastrous first towel, I ended up with just a few broken ends here and there.
I’ve just washed them and they’re waiting for pressing and ironing right now, but here’s a preview:
I’ve been complaining about the lack of sun, and you’ll note that picture was taken with a flash. Of course today, we get sun but I’ve had too much work to be able to take a break for pressing and hemming, so no pictures yet. Boo!
That does remind me, though, that I should go use the sun to take a picture of the socks I just finished knitting
After Christmas I had a few days at home to work on my weaving, so I finished the teal/turquoise swiss twill warp. Mimi decided she needed more attention so she snuck in and took a seat.
Here’s the big pile just off the loom. I’ve wet finished now, but need to press and hem them still.
And finally, I got a new warp on the loom. This is a mystery cotton warp that’s not particularly strong. Fortunately, it wound on like a dream, but now that I’m weaving, I’m getting a lot of broken ends on my selvedges. I have it threaded in a crackle pattern and love it! I didn’t get a picture of any of the weaving though, so here’s just a picture of the warp, ready to go on.
Oh, also, I got an inkle loom for Christmas and have made several bands out of carpet warp. It’s so much fun! They make awesome hair bands and cat toys.
I spent the weekend winding a warp and dressing the loom for some 8/2 cotton towels. I’m making these from some mill ends I got from WEBS. The warp is a dark turquoise/almost teal color that’s darker than it appears in these pics. I have enough warp for 6 or 7 towels, depending on how much I sample, so I can use several different color and treadling combinations.
And here’s a closeup. Note the long warp floats in part of it–I know I know, not good I was just messing around with my treadlings and that one didn’t work out. Also, it’s crazy how two yarns labeled 8/2 can have such varying grists. The tan right before the blue is so much thinner than the blue and the turquoise both.

Back in the days when I was young, friends were the people who told me the truth. They listened to my drama, and then they told me where I screwed up. Of course the other person was the biggest wrongdoer, but push comes to shove they were in my corner no matter if I was right or not. And in return for this magnificent gift, I was there for them.
But these days, as I talk to various people, it seems like friends are “yes (wo)men”. Those people who simply agree no matter what. And more often than not are nowhere to be seen when push comes to shove.
God forbid one of their friends might actually suggest that they might have strayed a bit too close to the edge. Or *gasp* might even suggest they had crossed a line and been in the wrong. Or that there might be another way of looking at things. And if somebody says it out loud, why that’s grounds for cutting the “friend” completely out of their life.
Maybe that’s why I’ve never had many friends. I’m not a “yes man”. I’ll never agree with anything absolutely. And I do have a bad habit of asking people “What’s your take away from this, what did you learn? Could it have been prevented?” I’ve never needed my ego massaged, but occasionally I have needed a reality check.
The short version of all that is people, it seems to me, don’t want friends, they want sycophants. And what’s even worse is they want their minions to always be right, to be utterly perfect, even if they themselves do get to make the occasional mistake. And that leaves me out yet again. I’ve never been perfect, don’t plan on starting now. Look at what happened to the last perfect guy. (For those who don’t get the joke, his initials are J.C.)
Personally, I blame Hollywood for most of it. After all, we’re the stars of our lives, right? We should come and go as we please, and get to do what we want. It’ll all work out in the end, right? It always does on the screen.
When I outlined this blog to a friend he suggested it’s due to the Politically Correct movement standard about protecting feelings. Of course, protecting feelings also means not teaching people, or asking them to grow up. Then we started sharing horror stories about “safe places” on college campuses and “time out” cards in boot camp. If you don’t understand why this is absurd, give it twenty years when we have emotional ten year olds on the highway. Or military commanders who want a time out.
But all hope isn’t lost. On the Words from a Bitch Facebook page I found this:
Appreciate your rude/blunt friend … They’re always the realist.

Elizabete Slavinska Emerging artist
“Last 4 years I’ve been studying Art, History and Painting at Art Academy of Latvia. During my studies, I have been looking for the form and voice I
want to express my point of view of this world. My studies and final thesis research gave me a really big impact in my artistic development and gave me
the confidence in what kind of artist I want to become.
I found myself confident in expressing my position, as I like to recall the connection and close interaction between national, and political decisions
and their impact on art and its consequences on culture, as well as the positions and role of the artist in society today. I believe that art can
address certain political and social issues or interpret different social structures. For example, it can reveal different proportions of power in
society by offering an alternative understanding of certain events. That said, I wanted to highlight the importance of the concept in my expression
and what I found truly important in art.
Although I have always been very motivated to achieve my professional goals and have had a lot of challenges and huge work with myself, the most
important reason why I am so passionate and expressive in arts is a natural, creative impulse of inspiration, some kind of natural drive that
keeps me going, that sends a thrill down the spine and gets engraved in the memory. Expressing myself in art gives me a feeling when I know I am in the
right place, and that is the only way of living.”

One of the seven wonders of Russia is the Stolby Nature Reserve*.
In fact, these are rocks of volcanic origin, and they were nicknamed “pillars” because of their shape. They are narrow, tall (60 to 600 meters), extremely ancient (450 to 600 million years old) and are scattered over the area of more than 450 square kilometres. Each rock has its own name.
* The unique reserve claims to be included in the list of territories under the protection of UNESCO and is the most visited reserve in Russia (more than 750,000 visitors in 2018).
