The 501st Legion, also known as the 501st Battalion during the Clone Wars and later known as "Vader's Fist" and the Five Hundred and First, was an elite unit of clone troopers commissioned by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine during the Clone Wars that later became a stormtrooper unit. Made up of units like Torrent Company, the 501st fought in many battles, such as the Battle of Teth and the Battle of Coruscant, becoming one of the most well-known legions. In 19 BBY, the 501st became Darth Vader's personal unit as he led them during Operation: Knightfall, in which the clones helped take down the Jedi, whom they believed to be traitors to the Republic.

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea -- Nordic ski jumper Noriaki Kasai led the Japanese Olympic delegation as its flag bearer during the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics on Feb. 9.
It is the 45-year-old Kasai's eighth trip to the Olympics as an athlete, the most in the history of the modern-day event. However, Pyeongchang 2018 will be the first time for the legendary ski jumper to compete in the Olympics in front of his family.
Kasai's ability to compete for so many years derives from a childhood spent in Shimokawa, Hokkaido. He recalls that his family was so poor that it was difficult to buy rice. He loved the potato cakes that his mother Sachiko made for his family from mashed potatoes. Despite such hardships, his family saved as much money as possible to help Kasai continue ski jumping.
Kasai's 48-year-old sister Noriko said of the jumper, "My brother has overcome many hardships since childhood. If my family had been wealthy, he wouldn't have been so successful."
His family also faces challenges. Kasai's other sister Kumiko, five years younger than him, was diagnosed with a rare and difficult to treat blood disease called aplastic anemia in 1993, and she has been hospitalized repeatedly since.
In July 1996, Sachiko suffered serious burns in a fire. Kasai had been hoping to invite her to his third Olympic appearance in Nagano in 1998, but she passed away in May 1997. Kasai went on to appear in every subsequent winter games, but Noriko and Kumiko viewed his performances from home and a hospital bed, respectively.
Kasai won his first silver medal in individual competition at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. A month after the games, Kasai visited Kumiko and hung his silver medal around her neck. Kumiko smiled and said, "It's not gold. Try again." Kasai said he took her words as encouragement to keep competing.
Kumiko wrote about her joy at her brother winning the silver medal, saying, "I'm grateful to many people. Thank you for allowing my brother to win silver. ... Even though it's not gold, I'm really happy."
Kumiko died on Jan. 13, 2016 at age 38. Her diary was discovered shortly after, and Kasai brought it home.
Kasai had married his fiancee Rena, now 33, after the Sochi Games. Their daughter Rino was born 17 days after Kumiko died. Rena, 2-year-old Rino and his elder sister Noriko will be on hand in Pyeongchang to watch Kasai compete in the ski jumping final on Feb. 10, after he flew through the Feb. 8 elimination round.
"My family has supported me at all times and allowed me to go on the road, and they mean more to me than anyone else. I'd like to win the gold medal and show it to my mother and younger sister in heaven, and to share that joy with my family at the venue," Kasai said.

Dogs like to eat and most of them like to eat everything that comes their way and this can include plants.
By Guest Blogger, Laureetta Williams
While some plants are good for dogs such as grass when they have an upset stomach, other plants can be toxic to dogs. They are curious animals so it would be up to you to make sure that they do not end up swallowing something that will do more harm to them than any amount of good or rubbing against something that can irritate their skin.
- Umbrella Plant
- Tulip Bulb
- Sweet Pea
- Rhubarb leaves
- Morning Glory
- Lily of The Valley
- Day Lilies
- Daffodil Bulbs
- Asparagus Fern
- Amaryllis Bulbs
These are the more common ones but to get more information speak to your vet as well as research what type of plants you could have in your garden just to be on the safe side. Or if you are landscaping then you can choose the plants that are not as harmful to your pets to make yours and their lives more fun and easier.
What Happens If Your Dog Comes in Connect with a Toxic Plant?
While each plant can give different types of symptoms when they are digestion and the most common ones are diarrhea, vomiting, differences in the urine, drooling and your dog can show signs of looking weaker than they did before. Other signs that your dog came in contact with something that does not really like them is a loose of appetite, some coughing as well as drooling. If they lick a toxic plant then they could end up experiencing irritation on the lips, inside their mouth and on their tongue, as well as their esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth and the stomach).
Dogs can come across a lot of different types of plants while they are going for a walk. They do not only need to eat the toxic plants for it to have an effect on them, but they can also simply rub against them. Some plants that touch their skin can cause itchiness, irritation, blisters, and rashes.
How to Help Your Dog?
It is very important that you keep an eye on your pets and notice any changes in their behavior. Dogs often show, and rarely tell, what is wrong with them and that they are feeling ill. If you suspect that your dog has had an encounter with a toxic plant then you should take them to the vet right away. They can get into contact with plants either in your garden, park, going for a walk and potentially from other dogs that are lost (and if you do so happen to come across any lost dogs, help them become found dogs by reporting them to certain websites).
It may also be a good idea to have a picture or a sample of the plant that they could have eaten or rubbed against. Different types of toxins from plants require different types of treatments that your vet would know how to do. However, bring them a sample or picture of the plant can make it easier and quicker for them to narrow it down in order to get to work.
There are a few ways that your dog can come across toxic plants that are beyond your control. However, you can try to control what goes into your garden as well as the paths you two take while you go for their daily walk. It can be a good idea to keep an eye on your dog and notice if they are acting sick or losing their want to eat their food. Also, try to keep track of what plants are in your garden as well as what the toxic plants look like. It would be best to be over-prepared instead of under. You should still let your dog explore the great outdoors just make sure they do not eat or go against something that truly does not like them.

We’ve seen a lot of takes trying to downplay Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi’s #TwitterFiles, which showed “the Biden team” communicating with Twitter to censor tweets about the Hunter Biden laptop story and Twitter execs coming up with the “hacked materials” excuse after the fact. We’ve seen plenty of reporters repeat the identical talking point about Taibbi doing “free PR” for the world’s richest man on a Friday night. Some have even tried to make Hunter the victim in all this, with Musk smearing a man who struggled with addiction. The usual suspects, like The Bulwark, chided “MAGA activists” for “getting riled up” while “normal humans” were spending the week watching sports.
We do have to hand it to Rolling Stone for coming up with a unique take — according to them, people who used to work for Twitter are calling the Twitter files a “snoozefest.”
— Dr Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) December 3, 2022
Adam Rawnsley reports:
Responses online amounted to a collective yawn.
“Nice to land and read Twitter files only to find out there aren’t any(?),” one former Twitter employee quipped to Rolling Stone.
Yeah, that’s the story. Rawnsley admits that “the social media platform initially suppressed the story from appearing in its recommendation algorithms but then banned links to the story outright under its distribution of hacked materials policy.” And one nameless former Twitter employee — was he fired or did he quit? — quipped that “there aren’t any.”
That’s says it all about these “former employees” if this sort of stuff is a snooze fest for them, it’s a good thing they no longer work there

In 1893, bootmaker James Murtaugh was changing a belt on his machine at the A. Coburn boot factory in Hopkinton when his knees caught in the equipment, twisting his body and fracturing his lower leg. The entire factory shut down while frantic coworkers disassembled the machine so Murtaugh could be freed. Murtaugh’s injury would disable him and plunge his immigrant family into destitution.
“People worked long, terrible hours and there were quite a few injuries,” explained Stonehill College professor Ann Mattina. “There was no workers compensation back then. If you were lucky the church or the union would take care of you.”
Mattina shared stories found through her extensive research on Hopkinton’s shoe industry at a presentation at the Hopkinton Historical Society a few weeks ago. She pointed out that while Hopkinton’s shoemakers and bootmakers played a role in the nascent labor movement, most of them never enjoyed the fruits of their efforts. It was only after 1912 that the Massachusetts labor movement really got going.
The professor shared some insights from the journals of Samuel Dexter Wales, a bootmaker here during the mid-1800s. Wales’ diary, found in a Maine farmhouse, talks about how hard it was to find a friend that could lend him $2. He also noted that people in Hopkinton didn’t seem to care about workers as long as they were making money:
“The interest in the cause of freedom is very small,” Wales wrote. “The boot business is good and all are busy in making the most of it. It seems to be a trait in human nature to forget the downtrodden fellow mortals in the heyday of flesh and prosperity.”
Hopkinton’s population during its mid-1800s shoemaking heyday included many “downtrodden fellow mortals,” most of them Irish immigrants. They worked at the factories and shops that dotted Main, Chestnut, Wood and Lumber streets. The S & A Crooks Manufactory stood where the Main Street Service car repair business is now. The E.A. Thompson Boot Factory stood at the corner of Main and Grove streets; the D.T. Bridges & Co. shoe factory was on Main Street; the G. & F.W. Wood Shoe Shop was in Woodville. By the 1870s, Mattina pointed out, Crooks was the nation’s third-largest shoe manufacturer and Hopkinton was shipping thousands of pairs of shoes daily.
Shoe factory owners collaborated on wages and prices, and marriages between families often made them even more powerful and rich. As a result, workers who were too vocal about working conditions at one plant might find themselves blackballed from another.
“If you made trouble at the Crooks plant, you could not work at Coburn’s,” Mattina said.
The workers suffered in other ways. “The boot business was seasonal, and the factories did not run all year,” she said. “It was so frustrating to workers because they could not depend on regular pay. So they grew their own food and worked in other places until they were called back.”
Other labor issues were more widespread than Hopkinton or the boot industry. “There were no child labor laws back then,” said Mattina. “There were no limits on the length of work day…all the things we take for granted now. You worked at the behest of the owner.”
As the labor movement was stirring, Hopkinton’s workers gathered courage. In 1859, bootmakers struck town-wide after factory owners reduced their wages. Twenty years later, lasters demanded a raise of five cents per case of shoes. In 1886, finishers at the Coburn shoe factory demanded a 25-cent raise. And in 1894, workers at the Coburn plant went on strike after the company cut their wages by 10 percent. The impasse caused the company to shut down a year later and move to New Hampshire.
One of the most violent strikes came in 1871, when management at the Coburn and Phipps plants clashed with the Crispins, a secret labor organization known for its readiness to use violent tactics.
“The Knights of St. Crispin was one of the largest labor organizations in Hopkinton,” Mattina said. “One of the rules that they made everyone swear by was that nobody in the union would train you unless you joined the Crispins. This drove the factory owners crazy.”
The 1871 strike, over giving workers holidays, was so bad that the state militia was called in. “At that time, ‘picketing’ wasn’t a nice orderly line of people with signs,” said Mattina. “It generally meant that men were out on the streets, jeering at people who crossed the picket lines to go into factories.”
Three strikers were shot while they were trying to stop an employee from entering the plant. The shooter claimed self-defense. Another striker was sent to jail for throwing stones at a member of the militia.
In a newspaper account from that era, the New York Times noted that the Crispins “kept the shoe industry in a state of great disorder” and called their tactics “terrorism.” The Crispins would become the Knights of Labor in 1880, and Hopkinton shoemaker Richard Griffin would eventually become its national vice president and move the organization towards less violent tactics.
The growing strength of the labor movement, the abandonment of the rail line through Hopkinton, and the three fires that consumed Hopkinton in 1876, 1882 and 1900 helped spell doom for the shoe industry.
It was only after the shoe industry departed that the labor movement began to gather steam…unfortunately, too late for Hopkinton’s workers.

Although things aren’t entirely clear on the subject, actress Amber Heard has become the target for a variety of petitions following a defamation lawsuit filed by her ex-husband Johnny Depp. The two have been calling one another out for alleged reports of domestic abuse, many of which have recently sought out Amber Heard as the surprising abuser. As such, petitions have been made to see her not only removed from the production of Aquaman 2 but also her position as spokesperson for L’Oreal. While it doesn’t seem likely that the petitions will hold any effect over Warner Bros. or L’Oreal, that hasn’t stopped fans from trying, and now a new petition has popped up. The latest petitions states that not only should Amber Heard be fired from the production of Aquaman 2, but that actress Emilia Clarke should take her place as Mera.
While the petition is still in its early stages, with nearly 100 signatures at the time of this writing, there’s no telling how far the support for actor Johnny Depp will take it. And considering things haven’t exactly been looking good for actress Amber Heard throughout these legal issues, it wouldn’t be surprising if it blows up as big as the initial petition to see Heard removed from the production of Aquaman 2.
Here’s what the petition to see Emilia Clarke placed as Mera in Aquaman 2 is currently described with:
“Amber heard should be replaced by Emilia Clarke as Mera, Amber heard has falsely accused Johnny Depp of abusing her when it turns out she is the abuser herself I feel like if she stays on the movie/ franchise this will send a bad message, we should not condone any type of abuse if the Aquaman writers brought awareness to the polution in the water and how our sea animals die, then why would they keep an abuser?”
The petition’s description then continues by explaining why Emilia Clarke would make a better Mera.
“Amber should be punished accordingly, as for Emilia she has much better chemistry with Jason plus they are comfortable with one another, Emilia is also a fan/people favourite they will be good publicity for the movie since everyone loves Emilia and has had any bad press, she’s amazing warm and caring the kind of person kids can look up to, I don’t think Emilia will just take this as another movie role, I feel like she will take this more seriously than Amber.”
It really is an interesting suggestion, and no doubt one that the thousands who’ve signed the initial petition to have Heard removed from Aquaman 2 will likely agree with. Of course, things are unlikely to change even with the petitions – but there’s still no telling what the future might hold. Especially with the way the lawsuits between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have been going so far. Maybe Emilia Clarke could get her place in Aquaman 2 after all.


The torpedo attack on July 5, 1942 by the K-21 cruiser submarine under the command of Nikolai Lunin is becoming the subject of more and more heated debate among historians every year. And if in Soviet times the fact that the battleship Tirpitz was damaged by the K-21 torpedo and, as a result, the operation of the German squadron was curtailed, was not in doubt, it has now become fashionable to say the opposite. Often the logic of such chroniclers comes down to assurances that Lunin, even theoretically, could not torpedo the pride of the German fleet, but for some reason he is still a hero. Such an approach to interpreting the role of the individual in history and the feat of the K-21 crew is at least surprising. As they say, you would go to that submarine, or at least wish to meet the submarine at the Polyarny pier and say such a tirade in the eye of Nikolai Alexandrovich, who was tired to hell.
The main and indisputable fact in this story – the torpedoing of the battleship “Tirpitz” by the submarine “K-21” does not cause doubt among historians. And then uncontested propaganda begins. From the Soviet point of view, everything has long been painted: both Lunin’s minute-by-minute report and first two, and then three explosions and a strange maneuver of the lead destroyer, as if trying to save the Tirpitz battleship from a torpedo attack (which Lunin himself admitted). Indeed, the two destroyers Z-24 and Friedrich Ying, which accompanied the pride of the Nazi fleet in just 10 days, July 15-17, 1942, hastily departed from Norway to Germany.
In favor of this version, a sharp reversal of the squadron led by Tirpitz can testify, we usually explain it by the adherents of the version “Lunin fired, but did not finish shooting”, by the fact that the Germans (allegedly not having seen the torpedo attack), having intercepted the radiogram, realized that they were discovered by “K-21 “. However, there was no special secret location of the squadron. So, during Lunin’s attack, the British submarine HMS Unshaken (“Unshakable”) was spinning nearby, the commander of which C. E. Oxborough chose not to be a hero like Soviet submariners, attacking the German squadron alone, but successfully radioed transmitted its coordinates, defining its composition as “Tirpitz”, “Admiral Hipper” and six destroyers, going at a speed of 22 knots. Finally, on the same day, July 5 at 19:16, the German squadron was discovered by the crew of the Il-4 reconnaissance aircraft under the command of Captain I. Ya. Garbuz.
The German squadron quickly intercepted allied radio messages, knowing full well that their campaign was no longer a secret for the enemy, but they abruptly changed course only after Lunin’s torpedo attack, which they “did not notice.”
Another strange, but generally accepted statement that the Germans allegedly did not even see traces of fired torpedoes. However, the fact that K-21 torpedoes were launched does not raise doubts among specialists, as well as the fact that Soviet torpedo tubes traditionally bubbled very strongly and noticeably. Lunin launched 4 torpedoes from a distance of 1.8 – 2.2 miles, according to his calculations. According to the reenactors, who deny the possibility of torpedoing the Tirpitz, the distance was 3.3 miles, which is close to the maximum range of torpedoes. Even in the latter case, it was necessary to try very hard not to notice the torpedoes. The wake, capable of hiding the course of torpedoes, was in a completely different direction. Excuse me, but were blind sailors recruited for the German squadron at the military registration and enlistment office? Yes, and deaf, because the explosions of torpedoes (even on the ground), which the K-21 acoustics reported, they also did not hear. Berlin in 1945, where infirm old people and teenagers were rowed into the Volkssturm, is still far away. Or maybe the Soviet torpedoes went to the Tirpitz without due respect and it was below the dignity of the German sailors to notice them? Or was their main advantage the ability to keep their mouths shut?
Further, one of the pillars for adherents of the failure of the K-21 attack on the battleship is the assertion that the squadron returned to base without loss in full force. It is believed that it was quite difficult to hide the damage to the Kriegsmarine star, given the close attention of the Allies. However, in the writings of authoritative Western historians Willm Harzke and Robert Dalin, back in the 80s, it was indicated that the Tirpitz, without docking and with the help of the Hauskaran floating workshop, from October 1942 to January 1943 in the Trondheim fjords put a caisson to replace the rudders. Let me remind you that this fact happened a couple of months after the “failed” K-21 attack. By the way, according to the opinion of familiar Mormans, patching holes in the side of the ship is very simple, it’s enough, for example, to flood the compartments of the opposite side and patch at least on the knee.
And just 10 days after the K-21 attack, on July 15, 1942, the destroyers of the Tirpitz convoy Z-24 and Friedrich Ying passed (from Norway to Germany, where repairs were also carried out on them. Lunin himself allowed that one of the leaders of the escort, seeing the attack on the Tirpitz, turned on a counter-course with the battleship and intercepted the torpedoes.
Moreover, on July 6, Allied air reconnaissance photographed a German squadron weaving along the coast of Norway to the south at a speed of only 10-12 knots, instead of the usual cruising 22 (Tirpitz’s maximum speed is 31 knots). The simplest and most logical explanation is an underwater hole in the ship’s hull. A hole from a torpedo from a Soviet submarine, even in the bow of such a mastodon as the Tirpitz, could not be fatal, but at high speed the pressure of water from the course of the battleship could easily squeeze out the transverse bulkheads of the ship. The way out of this situation is quite simple and consisted in reducing the speed to the minimum possible, it was possible to hobble even to Argentina. However, such a minimum speed was extremely uneconomical, because the oil consumption was exactly twice as much as at a normal speed of 22 knots. Let me remind you that the monstrous consumption of scarce fuel by Tirpitz was one of the reasons for his criticism even in the Third Reich and his captain zur see Friedrich Karl Topp could not allow the battleship to plod along for no reason. By the way, in just six months, Topp will be removed from command of the battleship and sent to honorary, but secondary positions in the Shipbuilding Commission of the Imperial Ministry of Armaments and Ammunition.
A couple of days later, the same British air reconnaissance discovered the squadron in the parking lot southwest of Arnay Island, identifying the battleship and escort ships. Only one destroyer was missing.
Let me remind you that Lunin reported on TWO explosions characteristic of torpedoes and 3 stronger ones, reminiscent of the detonation of ammunition.
Pay attention to how carefully the Tirpitz ally “grazes” and how doubtful it seems in this light to change its course on August 5, 1942 due to the fact that it was “discovered”. Until now, 80 years later, historians cannot find a clear explanation for the Tirpitz’s refusal to attack the PQ-17 convoy, while denying the fact of the K-21 attack.
The adherents of the “Lunin didn’t hit” sect will immediately begin to argue about the absence of relevant memories of the Tirpitz crew members about a successful (but not for them) torpedo attack on a Soviet submarine and a pristine (even without a trace of forgery) German battleship logbook).
The doubtfulness of such evidence is obvious. The crew of the Tirpitz was an impressive couple of thousand sailors and officers. In fact, any such ship is a city in miniature, where you can hide from the authorities for several days. Most of the sailors, in principle, could not know about the torpedo attack, and with the proper level of secrecy and the work of imperial security, their number was reduced to a minimum.
Moreover, the number of those involved was rapidly declining during the war in a natural way. Only on April 3, 1944, during the British raid during Operation Tangsten, 123 members of the Tirpitz crew were killed. Finally, on November 12, 1944, British pilots finished off the battleship with Tallboy superbombs. In the “thunderstorm of the oceans”, a sixty-meter hole was punched in the port side, also causing a fire and a subsequent explosion in the powder magazine of one of the towers with its separation. The overturned Tirpitz in just 10 minutes became the grave for 950 sailors in Hockeybotn Bay. By the way, local Norwegians unexpectedly showed ingenuity unusual for them, sawing a battleship into metal, while other relics of the war are still rusting in the silence of the Norwegian fjords. As they say ends in the water.
Blank documents without mentioning the fact of a torpedo attack also have a simple explanation. Nobody faked them, they could have been falsified from the very beginning. Or do you think there were suicides on the battleship: “My Fuhrer, remember the drowned Bismarck? So, the Tirpitz, the pride of Germany, instead of which it was possible to build a couple of thousand heavy tanks, pierced the untermenschi with their penny torpedo. Can you gnaw your carpet in hysterics? It’s funny, but the Tirpitz had only one chance to somehow prove itself, defeating the crowd of an almost defenseless convoy, but the Russians ruined everything again. After an unsuccessful campaign, the battleship hid in the Norwegian fjords, more like a rather plausible, but insanely expensive training target for British pilots until her inglorious death.
Against this background, the version that the Abwehr executed Lunin’s father in the occupied territory looks very truthful. The German secret services did not differ in philanthropy, but in order to find and hang an already middle-aged ordinary factory worker, a very weighty motive was needed.
An even more interesting fact is the awarding of Nikolai Lunin with the Order of the British Empire. In total, according to royal decrees, 47 generals and admirals, 115 officers and two sergeants of the Red Army were awarded the orders of the British Empire of the military division of various degrees, and each award was a great feat, rightfully appreciated by the Allies. Lunin was in good standing in the Northern Fleet, but all his other achievements were in no way worthy of such an award. Well, it was not for the controversial execution of Norwegian motorboats that the title of Knight of the British Empire was awarded.
There is only one answer – the British at that moment had more evidence of damage to the Tirpitz than we do now. Let me remind you about the British boat, which was nearby during the attack of the Soviet K-21.
So, with all due respect to professional historians who claim that the Tirpitz crew did not even notice the torpedo attack of the Soviet submarine K-21, too many facts indicate the opposite.
80 years after the heroic attack, the truth is still far away, but burying Lunin’s feat is unfair. Real combat operations are always far from theory and it often happens that a meager chance of success is more than offset by an unbending will to win. And believe me, the Soviet submariners had it over the edge. Evidence may be at the bottom of the Norwegian fjords, in captured documents from the Kriegmarine or in the British archives. All you need is time and desire.

Pleasant staff, simple facilities, good location. These sum up my experience at the Mercure Sao Paulo Alamedas. There's a huge variety of restaurant and pubs in the area and being so centrally located it's never too far away from museum, shopping centres and other points of interest. We enjoyed our stay. 8 out of 10 is due to very slow and small (almost claustrophobic) lifts and a shower that would get super hot whilst in use, scalding me a couple of times. Also important to note, no wheelchair access at the entrance with a few steps to reach reception - it didn't affect me, but knowing this might help you. I'd stay there again.

Everything correct except one important topic, the hotel is not soundproffed. I have been in a 3 weeks trip around America using Ibis, Mercure and Pullman hotels in almost all the places and I am surprised that only is well soundproffed the hotel in Lima Miraflores. In your case, your kind staff gave me place at the 17th ground and even there there was noice from the street. I know that my ear is quite good in spite the age but I think all Accor hotels should be ok related to the sounds.

My experience was negative right from the beginning. When I arrived at the hotel there are stairs to enter the lobby and no ramp. I had lots of suitcases and no one from the hotel came to help me with my bags. I had to climb the stairs with all my bags by myself. It was awful. When I entered the lobby, the receptionists took a long time to help me check in and weren’t welcoming. When I got to my room, the floor was very dirty, especially the bathroom floor. There was a lot of men’s hair inside my bathroom and especially inside the shower floor. I would not stay here again.
Your staff makes it worth it!

The hotel is definitely located in the best location in Sao Paulo. You only need to walk to find good restaurants, bakeries, pubs, museums, etc. It's not "noise-free", because nothing is noise-free in SP. The staff is really kind and ready to help, I really enjoyed dealing with them, because they were pretty helpful and kind to me and my team. The low point is the magnet cards for the doors that were presenting issues and also the really small elevators. Nevertheless, I loved it.

HAYWARD — Although U.S. Rep. Richard Pombo,
R-Tracy, doesn’t represent the Hayward area, his Democratic challengers in the 2006 election will debate tonight at a Hayward political forum.
Jerry McNerney of Pleasanton, and Steve Filson and Steve Thomas, both of Danville, are contenders in the Democratic primary for Pombo’s Central Valley-based 11th congressional district seat.
They will speak at 7 p.m. at an event sponsored by the Hayward Demos Democratic Club at the Westminster Presbyterian Church, 27287 Patrick Ave., in Hayward.
Also speaking is Charles Brown of Roseville, who is challenging U.S. Rep. John Doolittle, R-Rocklin, for the 4th district seat.
U.S. Rep Pete Stark, D-Fremont, is scheduled to keynote the forum, which organizers call “Taking Back Congress.”


Enabling Service Control Policies in AWS Organizations
Left unchecked, the spread of uncategorized AWS accounts in a company can turn into a policy nightmare. Here's how to establish some oversight using service control policies.
Use of Amazon Web Service (AWS) within a company often grows organically. It may start out with a department or two using AWS for their own purposes.
Eventually, however, there will likely be pressure to put some controls into place to ensure that AWS is being used in a way that is consistent with the company's own internal policies.
As I explained in last week's installment, in these types of situations, it is possible to link multiple AWS accounts to a primary account using the new AWS Organizations feature. Although linking AWS accounts can allow for oversight and consolidated billing, it is also possible to establish a degree of governance through the use of service control policies.
AWS does not enable service control policies by default. To enable these policies, log in to the AWS console, and then click on the AWS Organizations link, located within the list of AWS Services. Assuming that you have already created an AWS Organization and added one or more accounts to it, you should now see a list of the accounts that exist within the Organization. This screen contains a series of tabs that run along the top of the window. Click on the Organize Accounts tab.
At this point, you should see a message telling you that you need to enable a policy type in this root before you can apply policies of that type. Just beneath this message is a list of policy types. By default, the only policy type that is listed is a service control policy. You can enable service control policies by clicking on the Enable link, just to the right of the policy type, as shown in Figure 1.
It takes about a minute or so for AWS to enable service control policies. Once the policies are enabled, the console view will change slightly. If you look at Figure 2, for example, you can see that the Policies section now contains a Service Control Policies link. You will also notice that there is now a link that you can use to disable service control policies.
When you click on the Service Control Policies link, you are taken to a screen that shows you the policies that apply to the various accounts. For example, Figure 3 shows that my account (which is the only account that I have) has inherited the FullAWSAccess policy from the root level. This policy allows full access to AWS.
You might also notice that the list of Policies Attached/Available does not list any other policies. The reason for this is that we have not created any additional policies.
If you look at the top of the screen, you will see that there is a tab labeled Policies. Clicking on this tab brings up a list of the currently existing policies. This screen also contains a button that you can use to create a new policy, as shown in Figure 4.
There are two different methods of creating a policy. One option is to copy an existing policy and then customize the copy to meet your needs. The other option is to use the Policy Generator to create a policy from scratch.
The Policy Generator is relatively easy to use. You will need to begin the process by entering a name and an optional description for the policy. From there, you have to specify the overall effect of the policy. The overall effect can be set to either Allow or Deny. Next, you simply add a list of services to the policy. If, for example, you set the overall effect to Deny, then any services that you add to the list will be blocked to any account that is subject to the policy.
For example, the sample policy that is shown in Figure 5 above is configured to deny access to the Amazon API Gateway. You can create more comprehensive policies by adding additional statements to the policy.

Caves of Valdemino
Just 3 km from Pietra Ligure, well hidden in the town of Borgio Verezzi, you will find the much-visited Valdemino Caves.
Discovered in 1933 following excavation work intended to protect the surrounding countryside from the flooding of the Rio Battorezza, this network of limestone caves is a veritable treasure trove of natural beauty. The caves, rich in bone remains, columns and stalactites, are distinguished by the myriad hues created by the many minerals present.
This unique feature has earned them the title of “Italy’s most colorful caves.”
Despite their visual appeal, the caves have much more to offer than a feast for the eyes. The extensive network presents an exceptional example of a karst phenomenon, the structure of which has been shaped over time by the slow erosion of water seeping through the rock. This natural process has resulted in a wide range of fascinating shapes and textures, making the caves an appealing prospect for both casual visitors and geology enthusiasts.
Visiting the Valdemino Caves allows you to enter a natural wonder similar to an underground cathedral, painted by nature itself. The fascinating beauty, the palpable sense of history, and the sheer adventure of exploring these underground wonders make Valdemino Caves a must-see attraction during your stay in Pietra Ligure.

Located to the southeast and overlooking the pristine blue sea, the cliff is known for its solid, well-maintained limestone rock formations. The climbing routes, though not the longest in the Finale area, are typically technical, suitable for those just getting into climbing.
The Hundred Ropes Crag attracts climbers with the gentle sound of waves crashing on the beach and the striking views of the Rio Fine Quarry. In addition, the sunny location and accessibility of the cliff make it an ideal place for engaging outdoor activities.

Mary Douglas was born Margaret Mary Tew in San Remo Italy on 25 March 1921. Her father Gilbert Tew was in the British colonial service. Her mother Phyllis Twomy Tew raised Mary and her sister Patricia in the Roman Catholic faith. After their mother's death when Mary was 12 she and her sister were raised by her maternal grandparents. She attended Sacred Heart School in Roehampton.
After graduating from Oxford in 1943 she served in the Colonial Office until 1947 where she met a number of anthropologists. She then enrolled at the Oxford Institute of Social Anthropology headed by the influential Africanist E. E. Evans-Pritchard. In 1949 she began fieldwork for her D.Phil. with the Lele in what was then the Belgian Congo.
Mary Tew married James Douglas in 1951 and accepted an anthropology lectureship at University College London the same year. In 1953 she completed her doctorate. She taught at University College London until 1977 by which time her children were grown and her husband retired. For the next 11 years Dr. Douglas lived in the United States, first as Foundation Research Professor of Cultural Studies at Russell Sage Institute (1977-81). Later she worked at Northwestern University as Avalon Professor of the Humanities, with a remit to link the studies of anthropology and theology.
Her most influential book Purity and Danger: An Analysis of the Concept of Pollution and Taboo was published in 1966 and has been translated into at least 15 languages. The book explores the relationship between dirt holiness impurity and hygiene. This work and her 1970 book Natural Symbols are regarded as seminal works for anthropologists.
Douglas was appointed CBE in 1992 and was appointed DBE in 2007 New Year's Honours List.
Dame Mary Douglas died 16 May 2007 at the age of 86 and is survived by her two sons James and Phillip and a daughter Janet.
Among her many writings were a monograph The Lele of Kasai (1963), Risk and Culture (with political scientist Aaron Wildavsky 1983), How Institutions Think (1987), Risk and Blame (1992), In the Wilderness (1993), Leviticus as Literature (1999) and Jacob’s Tears (2004).

DEVELOPERS behind a wind farm in Hunmanby have reiterated a drive to work with residents despite major unrest at the plans.
Banks Renewables, who plan to build up to 14 wind turbines south west of the village, have set up a community panel to allow concerned locals the chance to voice their opinion.
Around 40 people attended the first meeting at Hunmanby Playing Fields Association last month, which brought heated confrontations from worried residents over the potential impact of the wind farm.
However, bosses from Banks have said they are committed to maintaining an independently-chaired community panel to meet regularly and inform residents, with a second meeting planned for next month.
Phil Dyke, development director at Banks Renewables, said: “We’re pleased with both the number of people who attended the first meeting, and the levels of engagement that we’ve managed to generate, with universal agreement that further meetings should be held.
“However, there’s clearly room for more local residents and community representatives to get involved, whatever their views of the South Dale scheme.
“Having the meetings chaired by an independent facilitator means people can express their views without feeling that they will be prevented from speaking.
“The community panel will provide a valuable forum for discussing the key issues surrounding our proposals.”
Anyone interested in attending the next meeting should contact Rachel Dowson on 0844 264 4508.
Alternatively, residents can email email@example.com.

chushi // V0SLF
I might not always understand what chushi is doing, but I’m always fascinated by it. In truth, I don’t even know anything at all about whoever is behind this. So, chushi if you’re out there hit me up because I’d love to know.
Anyways, here is their latest entitled V0SLF. The SLF part of that stands for Seven Legged Face, a label that is just as mysterious. The whole release is around three minutes long and it plays pretty much straight through, so it’s basically pointless for me to choose just one “track” to share. But alas, it seems that I’ve done just that.
If you’re familiar with what chushi does, then you’ll know that they specialize amorphous blobs of dissonant and ambient noise. And as time goes on it seems that the tracks not only get shorter but they also shy farther and farther away from convention. It might sound like I’m being negative, but all of this is what makes the music so alluring to me. I’m fascinated by the trajectory of these releases and I’m always anticipating what is coming next. You can download V0SLF for free on bandcamp or you can also grab it from this link. Give it a shot.

A couple of weeks ago I gave a talk at the Google Networking Summit on some possible applications of machine learning to networking problems. The talk looked in turn at: (i) what kind of models we should learn (hint: transformers-based models); (ii) how we can get our hands on network data to train these models (hint: leveraging big code!); and (iii) how much networking knowledge do large-language models have nowadays (hint: they’re pretty good, actually). You can find the slides here.
Our paper “QVISOR: Virtualizing Packet Scheduling Policies” has been accepted at ACM HotNets 2023! In this work, we ask ourselves: is it possible to simultaneously deploy multiple scheduling algorithms on existing commodity switches? Take a look at the pre-print to find out!
Happy to report that our group will again be represented at SIGCOMM this year! Our paper on seamless network configurations, the first avoiding both permanent and transient violations, has just been accepted. As usual, stay tuned for the details! New York City, here we come :-)
Our paper “Reducing P4 Language’s Voluminosity using Higher-Level Constructs” has been accepted at EuroP4 2022! In this paper, we present O4, an extension of P4, that incorporates three higher-level constructs (arrays, loops, and factories) to reduce the voluminosity of P4 code.
Our paper entitled “Learning to Configure Computer Networks with Neural Algorithmic Reasoning” was accepted at NeurIPS 2022! In this paper, we explain how we can approximate routing computations using neural networks. Among others, doing so allows us to efficiently “invert” these computations enabling to automatically synthesize configurations from their intended output. This synthesis problem is known to be hard: actually, our recent ICNP 2022 paper shows that many instances of that problem are NP-hard/NP-complete. Having a away to approximate these computations allows us to “break” the inherent scalability barrier of solving these problems, at the price of accuracy. How to deal with this accuracy loss is amongst the many next questions we want to look at. Stay tuned!
Our group will have two papers at this upcoming ACM HotNets workshop! These two papers will mark our 10th and 11th HotNets papers since 2014.
Stay tuned to learn more about:
- How we plan to build the next-generation of network traffic generator by leveraging millions of code repositories hosted on code-sharing platforms such as GitHub;
- How we intend to build generalizable machine learning (ML) models for predicting network traffic dynamics using the Transformer architecture.
As usual, you’ll find the final version of the papers on our publications page in a couple of weeks.

Happy New Year Jason. Once again, congratulations on your amazing site.
Hey Harry, thanks for mentioning that. I'll add the cover to Spectacular Spider-Man #101 for reference.
Thanks Patricio. Happy New Year to you as well!

What and the widening gulf between rich and
What were the central political, economic, and social developments of the Hellenistic World? The Hellenistic era was the age of Alexander the Great and beyond roughly 300BC-30BC. One of Alexander’s generals was later appointed governor of Egypt and signified an end of the pharaohs of independent Egypt. This was the age of Cleopatra and lasted until the Roman conquests in 30BC. Alexander also appointed a governor for Babylonia as well. This was the age of the rise of the Roman Empire as well.
The end of the Hellenistic Age came when Greece lost its independence and was directly annexed into the Roman Empire as another province. With all the trade routes opened up by Alexander’s conquests and in the inflow of Persia gold and silver, trade blossomed in the Hellenistic age and governments used that to augment revenues. The agricultural population declined and landownership became more concentrated with many holdings of land going to the states. The roles of the states grew and became more of a principal capitalist and owner.
With the increased inflow of gold and silver, the money was abundant and the roles of banks and large business houses grew. While the age was prosperous, it was focused mostly on the ruling upper class. Unemployment was large. Working classes were poorly compensated and it became cheaper to pay a free cheap labor rather than maintain a slave. The Hellenistic age also saw the rise of large metropolitan cities as fewer people lived in the countryside and concentrated on large cities such as Alexandria, Egypt.
Many of the characteristic economic and social developments of the Hellenistic Age are equally suggestive of contemporary experience: the growth of big business, the expansion of trade, the zeal for exploration and discovery, the interest in mechanical inventions, ruthless competition among merchants, the devotion to comfort and the craze for material prosperity, the growth of metropolitan cities with congested slums, and the widening gulf between rich and poor.
In the realms of intellect and art the Hellenistic civilization also bore a distinctly modern flavor. This was exemplified by the exaggerated emphasis upon science, the narrow specialization of learning, the penchant for realism and naturalism, the vast production of mediocre literature, and the popularity of mysticism side by side with extreme skepticism and dogmatic unbelief. As there were no suitable heirs, Alexander’s Empire were left to his generals. By 275BC they fragment into three primary ones Macedon (areas around Greece), Asia (areas round Babylon), and Egypt. Because of the expanded trade and influence from all the parts of Alexander’s Empire, influences from Babylonian math and Egyptian medicine as well as the introduction of war elephants into the military. Greek mathematics up to the Hellenistic era had mostly been focused on geometry. But the introduction of the concept and representation of a “0” from Babylon made higher level mathematics possible. Influences also went the other way.
Greek sculpture also influenced a style of Buddhist sculpture resulting in the presence of curly-haired Buddha as far east as China. The large scale production, metropolian cities, and expansion of industry. commerce, and government were hallmarks of the Hellenistic era. Huge museums, parks, large libraries, and a reduced agrarian society which we would recognize today were arguably the results the rapid growth and expansion of industry and commerce possible from the large united lands left by Alexander the Great.

Hello, this is Garrett Madison calling in for the Alpine Ascents Mount Vinson expedition. Today is Sunday, January 20th and today we climbed from High Camp down to Base Camp, we had a great descent.
And everybody is now in Base Camp and we are waiting for a flight from Vinson Base Camp back to Union Glacier Camp, and then hopefully in the next day or two, from Union back to Punta Arenas, Chile.
So it was a great expedition, we had 100% success again; wonderful weather on our summit climb, spectacular views all around. Everybody’s very excited to be back down at Base Camp after a successful climb.
This will conclude our cybercasts and we look forward to posting some photos when we’re back in the U.S.

The degree of ongoing court oversight involved in the blocking of pirate websites was a central disagreement as Village Roadshow, Foxtel and a group of ISPs returned to Federal Court in Sydney on Friday. It was the second day of a hearing into two applications by the rights holders to compel the ISPs — Telstra, Optus, TPG and M2 — to block access to a number of web services linked to online piracy.
The ISPs are not opposing the applications, which are being made under anti-piracy laws introduced last year. However, the parties have found themselves in disagreement on three main issues and a number of minor ones, despite extensive out of court negotiations.
Whether the rights holders should foot the bill for implementing website blocks is one of the key areas of divergence. Foxtel and Village Roadshow argued in court that implementing a site block, as envisaged by the anti-piracy legislation, should merely be considered a cost of doing business for an ISP.
The ISPs argued on Friday, however, that they are innocent parties in this process and that the costs of implementing a block should be treated somewhat akin to those incurred in processes such as identity discovery when a business is subpoenaed for details about a customer.
Similarly, the cost of paying for the costs of the current legal proceedings are disputed; the rights holders argue that it is ISPs fault that the two applications for site blocks have turned into contested proceedings.
Perhaps of most significance, however, are the opposing views between the rights holders and the ISPs on how to deal with the problem of mirror and proxy sites that replicate the websites targeted in the applications for injunction.
The rights holders have fought to have the term “online location”, which is used in the site-block legislation but not defined, be based on “digital content”, rather than a single domain name, URL or IP address.
Foxtel and Village are seeking what has been dubbed a “rolling inunction”, whereby the ISPs subject to an injunction will, on the basis of this definition, be forced to add additional replica pirate sites to their block lists.
The process outlined in court on Friday by Foxtel and Village would involve the rights holders, after they witness an alternative domain for a pirate site popping up, checking its IP address and identifying its geographic location (the legislation applies only to sites hosted overseas), and then giving ISPs an out of court notification that the domain or URL represents “an alternative means of access” to a blocked site.
ISPs within 15 business days would be obliged to add the site to the list of secondary pirate sites they are blocking.
The issue of new mirrors and proxies popping up is “not a speculative issue – it’s a real issue,” Richard Lancaster SC told the court on behalf of the rights holders.
“We’re concerned that a procedure be adopted that will not in effect create a real administrative burden for the future in having to do something unnecessary and elaborate such as the CSPs [carriage service providers] suggest,” he said.
The telcos have sought to have some kind of court process employed when adding to the list of blocked sites.
Telstra, for example, argued that there should be some kind of oversight of the process of adding mirror or proxy sites to the block list and said that its proposal wouldn’t require parties to return to court.
“All we’re saying because this affects us and indirectly our customers there should be some satisfaction of jurisdictional requirements” the telco’s counsel argued. In order for a mirror site to be blocked the court needs to be satisfied that its primary purpose is copyright infringement or facilitating copyright infringement and that it is hosted outside Australia.
The difference between the amount of work involved in sending a document to court and the amount of work internally for rights holders to ensure that a mirror or proxy site meets those criteria is “negligible”, Telstra argued.
Optus similarly argued that orders adding a mirror site to a block list could be made in chambers without bogging down the court.
There are also other differences between the parties. For example, whether there should be a ‘block’ page notifying an ISP customer that a page they are attempting to access has been blocked by order of the Federal Court. The rights holders argue there should be and that such a block page can serve an educative purpose. The telcos expressed differences on the issue (and Telstra, for example, wants the right to determine whether or not it has a block page and, if so, the wording on it).
Another issue is any provision in the court’s hypothetical injunction for a block to be suspended in exceptional circumstances. The rights holders want the limit of such a suspension to be limited to three days; the telcos have argued that this lacks flexibility.
Justice Nicholas reserved his judgment. His decision will help shape future applications to block piracy-linked websites — most immediately an application for injunction backed by a range of music labels.
A case management hearing for that application is scheduled for 22 July. A number of music labels and licensing organisation APRA AMCOS are seeking to have Telstra, Optus and TPG, as well as Foxtel, block access to Kickass Torrents.
