Heather Stevens, Head Gardener
This is Heather Stevens, Head Gardener at the Geffrye Museum, seeking the green shade of the rose arbor in the magnificent garden she has created over the past fifteen years in partnership with Christine Lalumia, Deputy Directory of the Museum, telling the story of town gardens in London over four centuries through a series of outdoor rooms.
“I remember coming here as a schoolchild,” Heather confessed to me, “I am a Hackney girl.” Working originally as a florist, Heather was once responsible for all the pot plants at the Royal Festival Hall, and began gardening whilst working for the GLC parks department before joining the Geffrye Museum in 1996. At the job interview, Christine Lalumia led Heather out into the backyard of the museum, a semi-derelict, unloved space of random shrubs, tarmac and feral cats then. Standing in the same location today, Heather’s eyes shine with excitement when she recalls Christine saying to her, “Something I would like to do is create period gardens here…”
Fifteen years later, that dream has been realised and with such success that seems unimaginable that these gardens were not always here. “It was a big old job and I couldn’t have done it without Heather.” Christine admitted to me later,”We opened in 1999 and the wisteria is coming into its own now and this year the climbing hydrangea flowered for the first time. It’s not been instant, but it’s beginning to look as we hoped it would be.”
The herb garden – organised in sections by aromatic, culinary, medicinal and cosmetic usage, and salads – was where Heather and I began our conversation, by squeezing the leaves in our fingers to enjoy the scent of lemon verbena, a shared favourite. Nearby the traffic hurtled down the Kingsland Rd, but you would not know it, standing there among the hundreds of varieties of herbs flourishing between the tall brick walls that enclose the garden and trap the sunshine. From here a door leads to a brick path connecting five garden rooms, an ingenious arrangement taking visitors on a horticultural journey through time. Stepping through that door, we came first to the Elizabethan knot garden, accompanied by raised beds planted to illustrate the functional nature of gardens in the sixteenth century.
Then, simply by walking through a gap in the hedge we advanced into the eighteenth century. For the Georgians, gardens were appreciated as an extension of the house, a place of recreation where prized blooms were arranged with expanses of earth between them, or in pots – as in the splendid auricula theatre, used for the display of prime specimens of tulips, auriculas and then carnations through the Spring months.
Through another hedge and we found ourselves in the Victorian garden, where Heather was hard at work contriving a pyramid of pelargoniums as an epic central feature, typical of the ambition of the gardeners of this period who delighted in formal arrangements of bedding. And then, in the twentieth century “room,” I found myself strangely at home, recognising the plant combinations recommended by Gertrude Jekyll that I grew up with – irises and oriental poppies and blue geraniums and columbine and love-in-the-mist and lambs’ ears, to name just a few.
Heather and I sat on a bench, and she explained how the garden came into being. Once Christine did the historical research to discover what plants would be appropriate and how they should be combined, Heather was charged with tracking down specimens from nurseries, while an architect supervised the brick paths before Heather made sure the structural planting was in place for the opening in October 1999. “It was so nice to get the opportunity to work with so many varieties of plants – in the parks department, I never got the chance.” enthused Heather, gazing around in pleasure at the lush spectacle of this wonderful garden that is the result of so many years’ devoted work and will occupy her for years to come. “How it has changed and developed!” she said, as if seeing it anew.
This is a garden to visit and revisit over coming years as it settles down snugly in this unusual space bounded by the tall back wall of the old almshouses on one side and the new East London Line on the other. In an urban area once renowned for its gardens, it offers a beautifully tended enclave of green where you can enjoy the Spring bulbs and the Summer roses in a leafy refuge from the dusty streets.
Yet if you think this sounds a romantic existence – inhabiting Eden in the East End – remember Heather works outside all year round from seven thirty until four thirty. “We put on our waterproofs and we garden in the rain,” she says simply with characteristic resolve, “Each year, we’ve got to rake up all the leaves – that takes about three months – every single day.”

American Kids Choose Marijuana Over Prescription Drugs
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
A new study shows that many young people in the US are over their fling with prescription drugs and have gone back to their old standby, marijuana, when they need a vice. According to the numbers in this report, underage youth are also shying away from binge and heavy drinking, a trend which has been continuing since 2002.The US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) conducted this study and released these numbers Monday in conjunction with the 23rd annual national observance of National Recovery Month.
For all these changes, children aged 12 to 17 and adults over the age of 26 continued to abuse prescription drugs at the same rate as last year´s report.
According to their numbers, the number of children aged 18 to 25 who abused prescription drugs fell by 14% in 2011. Whereas 2 million young adults reported abusing prescription drugs for other purposes in 2010, this number dropped to 1.7 million the following year.
"Behind each of these statistics are individuals, families and communities suffering from the consequences of abuse and addiction," said Pamela S. Hyde, SAMHSA´s administrator in a press statement.
"We must continue to promote robust prevention, treatment and recovery programs throughout our country."
To find these numbers, SAMHSA polled 70,000 people aged 12 and older and asked them which, if any, drugs or substances they may have abused in the past month. This survey is a result of the data collected during 2011 and is representative of the entire nation´s drug use, says SAMHSA.
Currently, 8.7% of all Americans aged 12 and older are self-described drug users, a decrease of just .2% over last year´s numbers. All told, there were about 22.5 million American drug users.
“These findings show that national efforts to address the problem of prescription drug misuse may be beginning to bear fruit and we must continue to apply this pressure to drive down this and other forms of substance use,” said Ms. Hyde of the study.
As it has been in the past, Marijuana continues to be a popular choice in America, ranking as the number one substance used by those young people polled by SAMHSA. The number of marijuana users appears to be on the rise as well, as 7% of the population said they liked to light up as opposed to 5.8% in 2007. Marijuana use has remained mostly the same among kids 12 to 17 since 2009 however, with 7.9% of these kids admitted weed users as opposed to 2009´s 7.4%.
Elsewhere in the survey, fewer of America´s youth are trying heroin, down to 620,000 from last year´s 621,000. Heroin had seen a drastic rise between 2007 and 2010, climbing from 373,000 kids to 621,000 in 2010.
Hallucinogen use also fell by 19% among the youngsters, and cocaine and meth use has continued its decline since 2006, falling by 44 and 40 percent, respectively.
Fewer kids are trying tobacco, as well, another long term decline dating back to 2002.
Over the past decade, the number of young smokers has dropped by more than 15% according to SAMHSA.
“Drug use in this country creates too many obstacles to opportunity -- especially for young people,” said director of National Drug Control Policy Gil Kerlikowske,
“The good news is that we are not powerless against this problem. By emphasizing prevention and treatment, as well as smart law enforcement efforts that break the cycle of drug use, crime and incarceration, we know we can reduce drug use and its consequences in America.”

* Dollar nurses losses after jobs data disappoints bulls
* Euro squeezes higher, but wary as ECB policy meeting looms
* Aussie dollar eyes retail sales ahead of RBA policy review
By Ian Chua
SYDNEY, Aug 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar got off to a calm start on Monday, having suffered its biggest one-day fall in nearly a month after a batch of economic data led markets to push back expectations for the start of the Federal Reserve’s rate-tightening cycle.
U.S. jobs growth slowed in July, the unemployment rate unexpectedly edged up and inflation was restrained, a mix of figures that should give the Fed plenty of room to keep interest rates low for a while yet.
“The July jobs data won’t change the Fed’s benign stance as it was about as ”goldilocks“ as it could be,” said Shane Oliver, Head of Investment Strategy at AMP Capital in Sydney.
The dollar index was last at 81.321, having retreated from a 10-1/2 month peak of 81.573. It had fallen 0.2 percent on Friday, a modest decline by any measure but still the biggest one-day fall in over three weeks.
The index had rallied more than 2 percent in July, a feat not seen in over a year, as improving U.S. data convinced markets the an interest rate rise could be less than 12 months away.
So any disappointment in the jobs figures was always going to prompt a bit of profit taking, traders said.
That allowed the euro to push back above $1.3400 and off an eight-month trough of $1.3366 plumbed last week. Against the yen, the greenback recoiled to 102.56, having stretched to a near four-month high of 103.15.
The safe-haven yen also gained ground against the Australian and New Zealand dollars, partly supported by safety flows as worries about Argentina’s debt default and tensions between Russia and the West sent European and U.S. shares lower.
Not likely to help risk appetite, data on Sunday showed growth in China’s services sector slipped to a six-month low in July as new orders rose by their weakest rate in at least a year.
Broad softness in the greenback saw the Aussie dollar pop back above 93 U.S. cents, from two-month lows of $0.9275.
In the very short term, Aussie bulls will be looking to retail sales data due at 0130 GMT for fresh impetus, ahead of an interest rate meeting by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) on Tuesday.
The European Central Bank, Bank of Japan and Bank of England (BOE) will also feature this week, but as with the RBA, no policy action is expected from any of them. (Editing by Shri Navaratnam)

A bill that would impose economic sanctions on Iraq unless it agrees to international inspection of suspected nuclear, chemical and biological weapons plants was introduced Friday in the Senate.
The bill, by Sen. Alfonse M. D'Amato (R-N.Y.), would suspend all U.S. export credits and other aid to Iraq, end all trade preferences and impose duties as high as 50% on Iraqi imports.
Iraq received $500 million in U.S. export credits in 1989 and wants $1 billion in credits this year, D'Amato said. He said the United States buys $2 billion a year of Iraqi oil.
"We shouldn't be financing a killer regime. Let them go sell their oil elsewhere," D'Amato said in a statement. He also referred to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein as "the butcher of Baghdad."
The United States has accused Iraq of trying to develop nuclear and biological weapons, a charge that Hussein denies. However, he has indicated that Iraq has chemical weapons.

Think you know the ins and outs of “Eleanor Rigby”? Think again! This beautifully soaring orchestral version by viral sensation Cody Fry adds a special urgency and intensity to this Beatles classic. The vocals are sweetly and smoothly interpreted and punctuated by a 400-person choir made up of fans who submitted their audio files from all over the world. The overall effect? Intense emotion wrapped in gorgeous musicianship.
Fry shares, “I’ve always loved this song, but during the pandemic, the refrain of ‘ah, look at all the lonely people’ just kept coming to mind. Creating this arrangement was like musical therapy, especially with the help of nearly 400 of my fans singing in the choir and, of course, a real orchestra.”
Listen and watch the score video now.
Building on what George Martin accomplished with The Beatles, Fry’s version of “Eleanor Rigby” was inspired by the pandemic, amplifying the original to ecstatic heights, driven by the notion of “all the lonely people,” and the fear and dread of living in a dying town or not fitting in. “It’s almost like a ‘Fantasia’ version of the song, especially the outro, where the melody is trying to find its place in the chord changes, but never really does,” explains Fry. “Things feel a little topsy-turvy, and the tension just keeps ratcheting up. That’s such a rich song. There’s so much going on in it.”
When his tour dates with fellow musician Ben Rector on the well-named Old Friends Acoustic Tour, was canceled after just four shows due to the pandemic, Cody Fry retreated to his Nashville home, took the occasional work-for-hire production job, finished up his album Pictures of Mountains (which came out earlier this year) and monitored his Spotify streams. It was there he began noticing unusual activity on “I Hear a Symphony,” the 14th and final track on his 2017 album Flying, recorded with a full orchestra, its streams climbing incrementally, eventually hitting a peak of 400,000 streams per day on Spotify alone.
Fry is a singer-songwriter-composer-arranger with five albums under his belt, starting with his 2012 debut, audio:cinema—a perfect description of the idiosyncratic, wide-screen, romantic movie-score approach he takes on “I Hear a Symphony” and “Photograph” (from Pictures of Mountains). Going down the internet rabbit hole, he discovered some comments on his YouTube videos that led him to TikTok, where “I Hear a Symphony” had been adopted, first by a K-Pop fan community, then by anime aficionados, who used the song in their video montages— more than 45,000 of them, representing millions of streams. Unfortunately, Fry only received a check from TikTok for a grand total of $150 so far for the video usage, but that activity spurred his four-year-old Flying album to garner upwards of 50 million streams and counting.
“Eleanor Rigby” is the first release off his new project of beautifully interpreted songs with a symphony orchestra. A six-song album that includes his patented live orchestral touch, including fully arranged covers of The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” and Ben Rector’s “Sailboat,” a song from his tour partner’s 2013 album The Walking In-Between, which served as a joined encore on their tour dates, with Fry on piano, Rector on guitar.
All the songs were recorded live in a single day, including several of the lead vocals, with a 60-piece orchestra, including strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion. “When a session is structured in this way, it doesn’t leave much room for error, but luckily the musicians were incredible, and everything turned out better than I could have imagined,” says Fry. “It was a stressful, nerve-wracking, joyful, rewarding experience. I hope I get to continue making more music like this.”

Yes, parrots can eat chicken along with other types of meat, but only in small amounts. These foods can be a great source of protein. When feeding chicken, it’s important to limit it to small amounts and not share such all the time.
How Much Should I Feed It?
While feeding your Parrot some chicken, make sure that you give your Parrot the chicken in moderation.
Here moderation means that you provide it once time per day. The preferred option is to feed your Parrot the chicken as a treat that it can enjoy once every week or during the weekend for a balanced diet.
Please remember that they should not eat it in large proportions as it may cause some digestive issues.
There are many methods that you can prepare chicken that is very healthy and nutritional for your winged companion.
As mentioned before, the recommendation is that you did not give the fried chicken to your Parrot as the greasy coating of the chicken might be bad for the Parrot.
In contrast, raw chicken is okay to give, but look out for their reaction to the cooked chicken, as some may respond positively, whereas other parrots might not take a liking to it.
By eating chicken, parrots gain healthy bones; the chicken also helps with stress and boosts their immunity.
Since it is high in protein, your Parrot will have a better immune system. This protein combination from the chickens and the antioxidants from green leafy vegetables will lead to a happier and healthier life.
When parrots eat meat or chicken, they take out the protein-packed bone marrow and the meaty sections of the chicken piece, like us, and they will not eat the bone; this behavior is similar to human beings.
The only defect of parrots eating chicken will be that they usually do not eat a diet with cholesterol, meaning that a parrot eats large proportions of meat or chicken.
Having cholesterol might cause some problems like upsetting their stomach or may cause some complications, which you can understand by visiting the vet.
How Do I Start Feeding Chicken to Parrots?
Introductions must be sweet and subtle, meaning that your Parrot must enjoy the first encounter that it has while eating chicken for the first time. So, you must introduce your Parrot to chicken in small steps.
First, try feeding it for one day and look for their reaction, as some parrots may have different responses to the chicken.
The recommendation is that you monitor your Parrot for a whole day. The Parrot may show signs of allergies or show signs of an upset stomach or diarrhea symptoms, as they are the typical allergic reactions.
If your winged companion shows any other characters, it is best to consult your nearby vet to find the reason for that particular reaction.
Benefits of Feeding your parrot with Chicken Meat
As mentioned before, feeding parrots chicken is perfectly fine and highly nutritious only if given in moderation. The chicken contains Sodium, Potassium, vitamin A, calcium, Vitamin D, cobalamin, Vitamin C, iron, Vitamin B6, and Magnesium.
Risk of Feeding your parrot with Chicken Meat
Remember that all parrots are different and have different reactions to eating chicken, meaning that they might have specific eating chicken responses. The main common problem will be the cholesterol level which is a higher level for a parrot.
You can safely feed your Parrot some chicken; it is a perfectly safe food item when provided in moderation, meaning that you can feed it as a treat. It is nutritious for your winged friend. Even though, sometimes, they might not like the taste of the chicken and might not like it, if so, there are many other treats that your Parrot might enjoy.
So, you can be sure that you can safely feed your Parrot some chicken. So, why don’t you try giving your Parrot some chicken today?

Norwegian hits back after Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary claimed it will ‘go bust’ this winter because ‘it loses a heroic amount of money’
- Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said Norwegian ‘deserves to go bust’
- He added that he is ‘shocked it’s still flying as it loses heroic sums of money’
- But Norwegian hit back saying Mr O’Leary’s comments have ‘no root in reality’
Low-cost airline Norwegian has hit back at Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary after he claimed it will ‘go bust’ this winter.
A spokesman for the Scandinavian carrier accused Mr O’Leary of being a ‘broken record’ and insisted his comments have ‘no root in reality’.
Norwegian has shaken up the long-haul market by offering flights at knockdown prices, with some of its most popular deals including £99 trips from Edinburgh and Dublin to New York.
Norwegian Air has hit back at Ryanair after its CEO, Michael O’Leary, claimed it would ‘go bust’ this winter
But it has struggled to contain costs amid its rapid expansion, and had around £2 billion of net debt at the end of last year.
Mr O’Leary claimed he is ‘shocked it’s still flying as it loses heroic sums of money’ and predicted it will ‘go bust this winter’.
He went on: ‘It deserves to go bust because frankly graveyards are full of airlines who had low fares and high costs.
‘Ryanair is one of the few that has low fares and low costs.’
A Norwegian spokesman said: ‘These comments are from the same broken record and have no root in reality.
O’Leary, pictured, claimed he is shocked Norwegian is still flying as it loses ‘heroic sums of money’
‘Norwegian continues to fly an increasing number of passengers as we continue to focus on building a strong, sustainable and global business to benefit our customers, employees and shareholders.
‘We’re focusing on our business and at this time Mr O’Leary should focus on Ryanair.’
In April British Airways owner IAG acquired a five per cent stake in Norwegian with a view to starting takeover discussions.
Asked if Ryanair had any interest in making a move on the airline, Mr O’Leary replied that he ‘wouldn’t touch Norwegian with a barge pole’.

text: The blog this week was written by Jennifer Goodwill, a Community Broker at The Arcadia Institute. Living well. What does that mean to you? Is it a nice house, money in the bank, lots of friends, a fancy job title. I recently heard someone say that a white picket fence represents happiness to her. While she didn’t go in to detail about why that makes her happy, I can imagine based on her other comments that it represents security, family and maybe even a sense of accomplishment. I’ve been thinking about this myself and wondering what does living well really mean to me. As I think about this, comments from our recent forum, Building a Community of Belonging, have been playing through my mind. The day of the forum concluded with individuals sharing about their hopes and dreams for their futures. While their answers were all unique, there were common elements found in all their stories that reminded me of how our humanness connects us all. Elements that I believe get to the heart of what it really means to live well. These individuals with different abilities and different backgrounds all talked about getting married, having a home to call their own, finding jobs where they are valued, and, quite simply, having the freedom to pursue their interests. Our answers to what it means to live well will be as varied as the people responding, but it seems that connections to other people and doing something meaningful are qualities that really matter to all of us. So, what does living well mean to me? Sure I enjoy vacations, fine dining and living comfortably. But, what really matters the most is that I want to love and be loved. I want to provide for myself and my family. I want to feel a sense of purpose and be a part of something bigger than myself. I want to know that my life matters and if I was gone tomorrow, I would have made a positive impact in the world around me. When we take the time to get to know people and listen to them, we can get past the discomfort of our differences and find there are many similarities that bind us together. What does a life well lived mean to you? And, more importantly, what opportunities do you have to share that would enable someone else to live well?

The quarter saw seven IPOs originating on the main market, raising £3.1bn, including Royal Mail’s high-profile listing which raised £1.7bn.
For the whole of 2013, there were 14 main market listings which raised £5.2bn –a significant increase in activity compared to 2012’s 4 IPOs and 2011’s 7.
- Global markets this quarter had the strongest finish to a year since 2010, with 294 deals raising US$66.9bn.
- The US produced 67 deals this quarter raising US$24.1bn – double Q4 2012’s deals.

- Europe continued its resurgence in Q4, with 58 deals – up from Q4 2012’s 34 – capping off a strong year which saw total funds raised of US$30bn – more than double 2012’s total.


Performance and Benchmarks
Our Alienware M17x R4 review unit has the following configuration:
- 17.3-inch glossy 1080p display (1920×1080 resolution)
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
- Intel Core i7-3720QM quad-core processor (2.6GHz, up to 3.6GHz Turbo Boost, 6MB cache, 45W TDP)

- Graphics automatically switchable to integrated Intel HD via Nvidia Optimus
- 8GB DDR3-1600 RAM (2x 4GB; 32GB max. – 4x 8GB)

- Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 wireless LAN
- Integrated Bluetooth v4.0
- Integrated HD webcam
- Slot-load Blu-ray reader/DVD burner
- 9-cell li-ion battery (90Wh)
- Weight: 9.39 lbs.
- Dimensions: 16.14 x 11.97 x 1.75 inches
- Starting Price: $1,499
- Price as Configured: $2,649
The base M17x is already well equipped, but our review unit has some options that bring up the price (and performance) considerably. At the top of the list is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M (+$550 over the standard GTX 660M), Intel Core i7-3720QM processor (+$150 over the i7-3610QM) and Blu-ray reader (+$100). The system has a couple of other options too including the beautiful 1080p display (+$150), 8GB of RAM (+$75) and the 750GB 7200RPM hard drive with 32GB SSD cache (+$125). The SSD cache is interesting; it’s configured in RAID with the hard drive and provides a good boost in performance. A variety of storage options are available including up to 512GB SSDs.

We ran two modern 3D games on the M17x R4: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Bioware’s Mass Effect 3. Both games were run at maximum settings at the display’s native 1920×1080 resolution. The performance is nothing short of “wow” – the GTX 680M has the numbers to prove it is a top-shelf card. It’s a safe assumption that there is no modern game the M17x R4 cannot play on maximum settings with this card. The M17x R4 comes standard with an Nvidia GTX 660M and is available with an AMD Radeon HD 7970M and Nvidia GTX 675M, which are a few hundred cheaper. The GTX 680M is the fastest of course, but there’s an extra high premium for the privilege.
It’s worth noting that the M17x R4 is available with a 120Hz 3D display option in conjunction with an Nvidia graphics card.

Heat and Noise
The M17x’s powerful internal components produce a significant amount of heat. Fortunately, the chassis is large and thick enough to accommodate an appropriate cooling solution. There are two large vents situated at either end of the notebook facing out the back. The fans at idle are, for all intents and purposes, silent. Under load, however, they spool up fast and can be heard from just about anywhere in a living room or classroom; the right fan which cools the graphics card is the loudest. There is a slight whine too, which increases with RPM. While the cooling system is somewhat noisy, it certainly gets the job done and keeps the M17x running cool; the top and bottom of the chassis didn’t warm up to a significant degree even during extended gaming and benchmarking sessions.
I measured four hours and 45 minutes of battery life during our standard battery run-down test (Windows 7 Balanced power profile, 70% screen brightness, wireless active and refreshing a web page every 60 seconds). This is an excellent time for a powerful 17.3-inch gaming notebook. Nvidia Optimus takes a lot of the credit; it automatically switches the dedicated GTX 680M graphics card off and uses the integrated Intel HD, which greatly reduces power consumption. The SSD and third-gen Intel Core i7 processor are also good on power.

By American enterprises, no less. And, no, this time I’m not talking about American social media like Facebook or Twitter. Keep in mind the NBA’s ongoing assault on free speech in the form of openly rejecting one team General Manager’s tweet supporting freedom in Hong Kong. The NBA’s response—from individual players on up, through team coaching staff and front office personnel, to the NBA’s head office and its commissioner, Adam Silver—was to reject the GM’s tweet in sum and substance and to apologize to the People’s Republic of China’s government and sports authorities so meekly as to be, metaphorically, in deep bows while doing so. And that GM abjectly deleted his own tweet—he didn’t even have the courage of his conviction.
Attorney General William Barr has taken up ex-FBI Director James Comey’s battle for government backdoors into private citizens’ encrypted private messages. Apple MFWIC Tim Cook won a similar fight regarding iPhone passwords and a demand that government should be allowed backdoors into those, and Comey’s FBI was shown to have been dissembling about that difficulty by the speed with which a contractor the FBI hired successfully broke into an iPhone the FBI had confiscated.
Now Barr has broadened the fight, demanding Facebook give Government backdoors into Facebook’s planned rollout of encryption for its messaging services. He wants Facebook, too, to hold off on its rollout until Government is satisfied it has such backdoors. Barr’s cynically misleading plaint includes this tearjerker:
Howard Silver, commissioner of the National Basketball Association, in the aftermath of a tweet by Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey,said in a CNN interview cited by The Wall Street Journal‘s Notable & Quotable,
I think in this day and age, you really do have to stand for something[.]
This is after Rockets players apologized to the PRC for their GM’s tweet, Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta ran away from his GM’s tweet,
Listen….@dmorey does NOT speak for the @HoustonRockets.
and the NBA as a whole affirmed their preference for PRC money over honor.
Federal District Judge Allison Burroughs, of the Massachusetts District, has ruled in a Harvard admissions case that racism in its admissions process is entirely jake.
Race conscious admissions will always penalize to some extent the groups that are not being advantaged by the process, but this is justified by the compelling interest in diversity and all the benefits that flow from a diverse college population.
With that, Burroughs has exposed her own racist bent. Her “justification” is just her cynical rationalization of her racism. It stinks.
Or is it President Xi Jinping’s staff member, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, who’s out of control? Or has she simply lost control?
First, the police shot, at point blank range, an 18-yr-old student (and arrested him for his role in the shooting), during the then-latest round of violence that Lam’s police have been provoking with their approved-thug attacks, water cannon, pepper spray, cudgels, brandished firearms, and then shooting those firearms into the air.
Recall the teenage protestor in the Hong Kong protests earlier this week, the one who was shot in the chest at point blank range by a Hong Kong cop who thought he was being threatened by the boy.
A Hong Kong court charged 18-year-old student, Tsang (Tony) Chi-Kin, with rioting, a charge carrying a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Tsang was among seven people charged with rioting on Thursday.
The secondary school student also faces two additional counts of attacking two police officers, punishable by up to six months in prison.
Recall a mass shooting in 2018 at a Thousand Oaks, CA, bar in which 13 were killed and a dozen injured. Recall further that Ventura County Sergeant Ron Helus was killed as he moved to stop the killer from doing more.
Various charity activities since had raised thousands of dollars for the families of other police officers who’d also died in the course of their several duties, and
The Blue Bowl, a charity flag football game, was intended to raise money for the family of fallen Ventura County Sergeant Ron Helus as well as [those] other officers killed in the line of duty….
The Progressive-Democrats are pretending to hold “‘official’ impeachment inquiries” against President Donald Trump. It’s a pretense because were they serious, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D, CA) would put the matter to a House floor vote and put all Representatives—Republican and Progressive-Democrats alike—on the public record as being for or against an actual impeachment inquiry, as the House, under majorities of both parties, has done for past impeachment moves. Instead, she has not; the Progressive-Democrats intend only to keep the smear going for the next 14, or so, months in a naked attempt to control the next election.
…erected by the European Court of Justice. The ruling is a partial victory for Alphabet’s Google subsidiary in a “right to be forgotten” case brought by Google as it appealed a fine imposed by the French watchdog, the National Commission for Computing and Liberties, which wanted Google to delete all references worldwide to personal data an EU citizen wanted “forgotten.”
The ECJ ruled that the EU’s “right” applied only within the EU—the partial victory. However, it added that


P DIDDY will not be charged following his arrest for an assault on his son’s sports coach.
The 45-year-old rapper was arrested in June for allegedly wielding a kettlebell gym weight during an altercation with the University of California’s American football coach Sal Alosi. Diddy had been visiting his 21-year-old son Justin Combs on campus.
He was held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and released on bail.
While Diddy - whose real name is Sean Combs - will not be charged on a felony offence, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office can now decide whether to file misdemeanour charges against him.
The Bad Boy For Life hitmaker has maintained that he was acting in self-defence during his altercation with the strength and conditioning coach. Head coach Jim Mora said in a statement after the incident that they would let the investigation run its course and withhold further comment.
Meanwhile, Diddy didn’t seem too troubled by his legal issues during his Bad Boy reunion at the 2015 BET Awards on Sunday — despite an onstage tumble — and he’s been getting plenty of support from Justin on Instagram.
Along with a father-son picture, Justin wrote: “Thanks for always being there for me.”


Jewish World Review July 21, 2004 / 3 Menachem-Av, 5764
Political Pop Quiz
John Edwards got ambuscaded the other day when Don Imus asked if he knew the price of milk and other grocery-store comestibles. Edwards fluffed the question, of course, which placed him in a league with just about every male shopper on the face of the earth, and every office-holder whose staff wasn't bright enough to anticipate the obvious question.
Pop quizzes are hardy perennials in national politics, and they're always designed to expose would-be officeholders as clueless fools. President Bush got hammered four years ago when a Boston reporter asked him to name the leaders of four nations. Edwards became the latest victim of the dairy-section equivalent of "The Price Is Right." I don't think the food-cost question serves as a decent surrogate for understanding how The Little People live. The quiz is a relic of pre-scanner days, when people paid more actual attention to such things as the price of milk (which goes for just less than three bucks a gallon at our local store).
It's good and mete to determine how well-connected politicians are with the people they purport to represent, but reporters need to update their avenue of attack. It's time to jettison these pre-modern, pre-scanner lines of interrogation and find something a little more revealing. Here are some proposed questions:
- What's the name of your favorite cashier at the grocery store?
- Do you know the name of any local gas-station attendants?
- Or, if you're really wealthy: Do you know the names of your housemaid's children?
After all, the real point of "connection" is not to talk about money, but to talk about people's actual lives. If you know your cashier, chances are you know something about the politics of the grocery store, the vagaries of the check-out employee's personal life, and maybe even a thing or two about the piquant tragedies and fleeting triumphs one experiences at home and work.
So let's get rid of the grocery-store test and replace it with the grocery-store employee test.

Outline and evaluate types of long term memory (16 marks)
Long term memory is believed to be divided into 3 main types of memory. One of which is episodic memory which stores memories of personal events in our lives. These memories are complex as a single 'episode' (memory) includes several elements such as who was involved, the place, objects etc. These memories are also time-stamped as we are able to recall when they happened in other words we can recall whether it was yesterday or last year. Another feature of episodic memories is that a conscious effort has to be made to recall them.
Another type of long term memory store is semantic memory and it contains our knowledge of the world meaning that it stores facts and concepts. Unlike episodic memories, semantic memories are not time-stamped as we don't usually recall when we learned something. These memories are less personal and it contains an immerse collection of material which is constantly being added to.
Furthermore, proceudral memory is another long term memory store, it is our memory for actions and skills in other words, how we do things. These memories are recalled without conscious awareness. For example we know how to ride a bike without having to recall how, we move our legs on the pedals without…

Bose introduces new Dolby Atmos Smart Soundbar 900
Bose announces the new Smart Soundbar 900 — a Dolby Atmos speaker that provides exceptional immersion for music and movies.
With proprietary Bose spatial technologies, the 900 elevates Dolby Atmos content by separating instruments, dialogue, and effects, and then places them in discrete parts of a room — far above, and to the far right and left. It also elevates content other than Dolby Atmos by providing a comparable experience no matter what one is listening to or watching.
Featuring HDMI eARC, the Soundbar 900 connects to a TV with just one cable, and packs all its technology in a trendy single enclosure. It features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for the best of both worlds, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for voice control, a simple app for touch control, and is compatible with Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, and all other Bose smart speakers for a premium audio multi-room system. The Soundbar 900 is an all-in-one unit that replaces the Bose Smart Soundbar 700, available on September 23rd for US$899.95.
Dolby Atmos Meets Bose Spatial Technologies
The Smart Soundbar 900 puts the listener in the centre of their music or movies in an entirely new way. By combining custom arrays, dipole transducers, and low-profile transducers with Bose spatial technologies, it produces a layer of realism the manufacturer claims no other speaker can duplicate.
While conventional Dolby Atmos soundbars create sound “overhead,” the 900 does more. Bose PhaseGuide technology adds other dimensions just as precisely, placing and “pinning” distinct sound to the right and left where there are no speakers.
For programming or playlists, Bose QuietPort technology delivers exceptional bass performance and virtually no distortion at any volume.
The Soundbar 900 is a mere 2.3″ high, just over 4″ deep, and 41″ long. It features an oval-shaped design, wraparound metal grille, tight seams, clean lines, and a polished, impact-resistant tempered glass top. It fits beautifully under televisions 50″ or larger.
Setup is straightforward with HDMI eARC and one cable that plugs into the TV. With Wi-Fi, accessing Spotify Connect and AirPlay 2 is easy; with Bluetooth, pairing to a phone or tablet takes seconds. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa are built-in for voice control — and Alexa extends to taking and making calls, and enables the exclusive Bose Voice4Video feature that turns a TV on to the channel or input asked for — with just one command.
KEY SELLING POINTS:
- Dolby Atmos surround sound
- Compact format – all-in-one
- Bose quality brandname

We've known for some time that if people are to care about natural areas as adults, they need to experience them as children.
We also know that the best way to get people to behave in an environmentally responsible manner is to make sure they get to enjoy extended periods of time in natural areas, preferably in the company of a mentor.
These things just make sense, don't they?
That's why a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is so troubling. The title says it all: Evidence for a fundamental and pervasive shift away from nature-based recreation.
The authors, conservation scientists Oliver Pergams of the University of Illinois at Chicago and Patricia Zaradic of Bryn Mawr College, may be familiar to you. They wrote a widely discussed 2006 paper in which they pointed to a "steady and consistent" decline in per-capita visits to US national parks since 1988 and suggested that a fundamental shift was taking place in our society -- a shift away from what E. O. Wilson termed "biophilia," an appreciation of nature, and toward "videophilia," a new focus on sedentary activities involving electronic media.
Four variables, three of them electronic, explained 97.5% of the decline in park visits, Pergams and Zaradic wrote: time spent on the Internet, time spent playing video games, time spent watching movies (both in theaters and at home), and oil prices. When gas prices go up, they wrote, people drive, and drive to national parks, less. And as time spent on electronic media increases, park visits decrease.
These things make sense to me, too, but the paper proved to be controversial. Readers argued that factors specific to national parks, not videophilia, must have contributed to the decline (that is, historic admission fees, decaying infrastructure, fewer interpretive staff, etc.); or that other natural areas (BLM lands, for example, where you can ride around on snowmobiles and ATVs) had taken market share from national parks; or that the decline in national park visits was an exception to an upward trend in participation in outdoor activities.
Uh-uh, Pergams and Zaradic thought. They hypothesized that national park visits are a good proxy for how much people are visiting nature in general and that a little extra research would reveal not only similar longitudinal declines in visitation to other natural areas but also reduced participation in other nature-related activities.
The paper published today describes what the researchers learned when they tested their hypothesis.
It's not encouraging. Not only have visits to national parks declined, but so too have visits to Japanese national parks, US state parks, and US national forests and per-capita duck stamps and fishing licenses.
The last time the national forests saw per capita visitors as low as 2002, the researchers write, was almost 40 years earlier.
"The longest and most complete time series suggest that typical declines in per capita nature recreation began between 1981 and 1991, are proceeding at rates of -1.0% to -1.3% per year, and total to date -18% to -25%," write Pergams and Zaradic. "Rather than being an anomaly restricted to National Parks, our results suggest a fundamental and pervasive decline in nature recreation."
A decline like this, of course, has obvious -- and dire -- implications for conservation efforts. "We think it probable that any major decline in the value placed on natural areas and experiences will greatly reduce the value people place on biodiversity conservation," write the researchers. "Accordingly, it becomes less likely that attempts to raise public awareness of the current biodiversity crisis will succeed."
The results may be jarring to those of you who have been told over and over that birdwatching is the fastest growing outdoor activity, but they jibe with results published by the US Fish & Wildlife Service in August 2003 -- and largely ignored by everyone associated with the birding industry. (We published them in "Birding Briefs" in our February 2004 issue.) USFWS, remember, reported that a comparison of results from its 1991, 1996, and 2001 estimates showed that birdwatching around the home had decreased, not increased, over that 10-year period:
"Is birding increasing? Despite recent popularization (high visibility within the media and popular culture and increased recognition of the sport within American homes) of birding, past FHWAR Survey results point to a more complicated story. A comparison of results from the 1991, 1996, and 2001 estimates show that bird-watching around the home has decreased rather than increased over that 10-year period (USFWS). In 1991, 51.3 million people reported observing birds around their homes. In 1996 that number dropped to 42.2 million and in 2001 to 40.3 million." -- US Fish & Wildlife Service, Report 2001-1: Birding in the United States: A Demographic and Economic Analysis, page 3
The 1996 total is 17.7% lower than the 1991 total, and the 2001 number is 21.4% lower than the 1991 number.
According to the most recent USFWS survey, the number of people who reported observing birds around the home did increase between 2001 and 2006. It rose 3.7% to 41.8 million (page 36). But 41.8 million isn't close to 51.3 million. It's 18.5% below the 1991 high point.
And I probably don't need to point out that 18.5% is within the range of typical declines in per capita nature recreation reported by Pergams and Zaradic, or that 1991 aligns roughly with the decade in which the declines began. -- C.H.

Planning a trip is usually a very structured process… decide where to go, book a flight, find a hotel, plan the sightseeing, etc. There are some though that see vacations as an opportunity for pure adventure, and for those travelers, Germany’s Lufthansa has a special deal: Lufthansa Surprise.
How does it work? For as little as 69 euros ($78), travelers can choose to blindly book a flight from either Munich or Frankfurt. Lufthansa allows for choosing a destination within nine categories, such as shopping, bromance and nature, but the reveal doesn’t come until after booking the flight. If you aren’t happy with the destination, don’t expect Lufthansa to have pity. The airline states on the booking page that “flights are fixed bookings at a last-minute price” and that bookings cannot be changed and no refunds can be given”.
These are also short trips to nearby destinations with only one or two night stays. But for someone who’s looking for a random weekend getaway, Lufthansa Surprise sounds like a good deal.

Pre-orders for the unique Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 flagship smartphone are now open on all major Chinese platforms, beginning August 16. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 was cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and cost between $1,335 and $1,800.
Based on the initial reviews, the Xiaomi MIX Fold two not just made up for almost all of the deficiencies of the previous generation but also became the market leader in many parameters. Its dimensions are quite surprising. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is the thinnest and the most basic smartphone. When folded, the thickness is only 11.4mm. This is a result of the new hinge mechanism.
Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 is China’s only smartphone with an Eco OLED Samsung screen. It has a resolution of 2160×194 pixels. The internal screen has a 4:3.55 aspect ratio. The outside screen is 6.56 inches in size with a resolution of 2520 x 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 21:9. It is made from Samsung E5 AMOLED material.
This phone features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 single-chip processor, a 4500mAh battery, supports fast charging at 67W, and can be fully charged in just 40 minutes.
The phone came with a 50-megapixel main camera, a Sony IMX7666 sensor, a 13.0-megapixel ultra-wide angle module and a 2x zoom lens.


Police trial A20 Stack to stop city gridlock
If you've noticed an error in this article please click here to report it so we can fix it.
By Roanna Avison TRUCKS WILL BE stacked on the A20 outside Dover in a trial to prevent the town centre becoming gridlocked with freight traffic waiting to get into the port.
Kent Police is to hold trucks on the nearside lane of the A20 outside Dover, while allowing other traffic to use the outside lane with a 50mph speed restriction. Trucks will then be released when there is available space for them at Dover's eastern docks.
Dover district councillor Nigel Collor says: "I believe the holding area should be used when freight traffic backs up at the port, not just in conjunction with Operation Stack."
But a Kent Police spokeswoman insists the holding area will only be used to complement Operation Stack. "If the trail is successful, it will be introduced whenever phase one of Operation Stack has to be implemented."
• Port of Dover chief executive Bob Goldfield has called for a second ferry terminal in the wake of the Channel Tunnel fire. In the week after the fire on 11 September, the number of HGVs boarding ferries increased by 33,7%, rising to 55,286 from 41,357 the week before.
