Daily Digest - May 2: Equal Opportunity Offenders
What you need to know to navigate today's most critical debates.
Click here to receive the Daily Digest via e-mail.
The Tinder-Box Society (Robert Reich)
Reich argues that as the global anger of the 99% rises, it's likely to lead to one of two outcomes: genuine economic reform defusing the rage or demagogues redirecting it toward whichever group they've decided we should hate. Watch yourself, Canadians.
The Opportunity Society (TAP)
Paul Waldman looks at the new definition of equal opportunity, in which all Americans can start a $244 million private equity firm with nothing but their vast web of inherited political and business connections to fall back on. And they're all named things like Tagg.
Rise of Generation Occupy (Salon)
Jeffrey Sachs writes that with protests springing up from New York to Cairo and young people relying less and less on traditional channels of communication, this may be one reform movement that can't simply be crushed under a big pile of money.
Free college? We can afford it. (WaPo)
Katrina vanden Heuvel argues that holding down student loan interest rates and maintaining the status quo isn't enough. The richest country in the world should guarantee that pursuing higher education doesn't mean swallowing a financial suicide pill.
Big Idea: Universal Pre-K to Teach Children and Create Jobs (GOOD)
Before kids get to the age where they can enjoy the dubious pleasures of free calculus class, Dana Goldstein makes the case for universal early education to improve their future potential and mobility, take pressure off mothers, and boost the economy.
Has Team Romney forgotten that the Bush years were terrible? (WaPo)
Ezra Klein notes that with the Romney campaign putting the band back together for the third Bush term no one demanded and President Obama deploying Bill Clinton as a surrogate, this election could be about whether you preferred the '90s or the aughts.
Taxes and Employment (NYT)
Bruce Bartlett points out there are two slight flaws in the Republican argument that high tax rates and tax increases are what's hurting employment: tax rates are not high and have not been increased under Obama. Aside from that, their case is airtight.
The Administration Is Scared of Its Own Regulatory Shadow (The Nation)
George Zornick notes how the White House caved to conservative pressure to get rid of an EPA administrator who dared suggest that companies should be held accountable for breaking the law, but probably not by literally nailing them to a plank of wood.
Paul Ryan's Aquinian Epiphany (Talk to Action)
Frank Cocozzelli reviews Paul Ryan's attempt to claim that he is not really an Ayn Rand devotee because while he does consider the poor to be pathetic losers who need to stop looking for handouts, he also believes that God exists and He totally agrees.
Democrats Have Moved to the Right, Not the Left (MoJo)
Kevin Drum argues that it's not true that both parties have become more radical and polarized lately. Rather, Republicans have been charging headfirst into far right territory and Democrats have decided to follow along at a more casual pace.
With additional reseach by Elena Callahan.

Experts who have tracked North Korea’s nuclear tests refuted media reports that the country’s dismantling of its nuclear site is nothing more than the destruction of evidence.
“Despite whatever actions may be taken in the next couple of days at the nuclear test site, the forensic evidence will outlast any explosions that may be used to collapse or seal the test tunnels,” experts including Frank Pabian wrote in a commentary for 38 North, a North Korea analysis website run by the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University.
“Organizations like the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, if ever granted the opportunity to conduct onsite investigations in the future, have the tools to conduct drill back operations into the various test cavities to determine the composition of the materials used in each device that was tested. Those cavities and the melt puddles do not disappear simply if mixed with rubble.”

Pabian is a former Los Alamos National Laboratory fellow with 45 years of experience in nuclear nonproliferation, satellite imagery analysis, geospatial infrastructure analysis and geologic mapping.
The 38 North analysts added that the instrumentation data is likely to have been already transferred, archived and analyzed offsite after each test.
This data, if not destroyed as part of nuclear negotiations with the US as some reports have suggested, could be shared with CTBTO experts if site investigations were ever to take place, they said.
Media outlets including US broadcaster CNN reported, citing experts, that the dismantlement of the North’s only known nuclear test site in Punggye-ri would only destroy evidence that could have yielded information on the kinds of weapons that were being tested.
Pabian and his co-authors wrote in the commentary that even if the North could reopen the site within weeks after blowing up the test tunnels, as the US intelligence community reportedly estimated, the event, which Pyongyang said would “ensure transparency of discontinuance of the nuclear test,” is “a first positive step in a larger diplomatic process.”
Despite initially announcing that media and experts would be invited to observe the site closure, the North ended up allowing only a handful of international journalists, including eight South Korean journalists, to watch the event from a distance.
The 38 North analysts noted that while it would have been ideal for international experts on nuclear weapons testing to visit Punggye-ri, the North never suggested they would have been allowed to do onsite inspections.
“It may be better in the long run that experts are not part of the delegation, thereby preventing claims from the North in the future that the site had been visited by outside experts,” they said.

We’ve been in Middleborough, Massachussetts for almost nine weeks. It’s been strange living in a conservative bubble, having lived most of my life in liberal hamlets, from San Francisco and Berkeley to Cambridge, New York, and for the last twenty-six years, Austin, Texas, where the local slogan is “Keep Austin Weird.”
Middleborough is the largest city in Massachusetts, but a small-town mentality prevails. The uniform consists of jeans and a long-sleeved t-shirt, with a flannel or hoodie to keep warm. The same pub menu is served at every restaurant in town.
Middleborough has charmed me with its cranberry bogs; with its old-fashioned coffee shop, where white-haired veterans sit in the window every morning looking out at Main Street; and, of course, with its public library, built in 1902 with high ceilings, fireplaces, Greek columns, and signs on every table reminding you to be quiet.
But the town gives me the creepy crawlies. It feels as if they’ve shut out the modern world, purposefully remaining in the 1950s with all of the decade’s racism, sexism, and homophobia intact.
I am lonely for like-minded friends, for artists and intellectuals, for a good discussion of what is happening to our government. I cannot find a New York Times or a New Yorker anywhere. Other than the wonderful bonding experience I’ve shared with my daughter, books have been my only true companions.
Here is a partial list of what I’ve been reading. While I’ve been indulging in a lot of fiction and poetry, I’m sharing four memoirs. These true stories, these authors’ authentic voices, have kept me sane.
LIDIA YUKNAVICH, THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER
I am admittedly late to the Lidia Yuknavitch literary admiration society. I picked up this memoir the day before I left Austin and finished reading it on the plane. It begins with the stillbirth of the author’s daughter — letting you know you’re in a for a raw, emotional ride — and then flips back through her difficult childhood, her abusive father, her drug and alcohol addiction, and her youth as a competitive swimmer. Everything is out in the open, without apology or self-censorship, including the details of an intense sex life.
The writing is so hot it makes you want to get to work and start speaking your own truths. It makes you want to scream onto the page with as much abandon as she does. When I finished reading the memoir, I did not want to leave the author’s world and immediately picked up another book of hers, a novel, On the Backs of Children. Like Chronology of Water, everything in this books is turned on its head. The narrative and structure break every rule and you are carried along by the author’s daring and intensity.
What books or works of art had you running to the page or the studio?
DONALD HALL, LIFE WORK
Ever since reading Hall’s memoir, The Best Day, The Worst Day, I’ve fantasized about the New England farmhouse he and his late wife, the poet Jane Kenyon, lived and worked in. They called it “The Poetry House,” and he lovingly describes their quiet days working there. In Life Work, which he wrote before the The Best Day, The Worst Day, he chronicled his family history in that house–the hard work of living on a farm, including the division of labor amongst his ancestors.
Hall also shares his writing days, laying out for the first time what “the best day” looks like — writing, lovemaking, more writing, quiet reading
Life Work made me think about what my best day might be and how I might help my students and clients get more best days. Although it crossed my mind that Donald Hall was able to work the way he did because he had inherited a farmhouse and his wife prepared his meals.
What would it be like to assume your days were your own? What would your best day look like?
SONYA HUBER, PAIN WOMAN TAKES YOUR KEYS
In this book of short essays, the author lays out her life after being hit by a cluster of autoimmune diseases. So much was familiar to me — the overwhelming fatigue, the longing for the old energy and focus, the frustration of not being able to read when you are engaged in a profession that requires you be well-read. I loved that she rendered something invisible on the page, describing her experience in fresh language.
But there were so many essays about how hard things were, I found myself getting angry. Huber never questions why she was hit with autoimmune disease or why so many women seem to be suffering from it Whatever is happening in our bodies reflects what’s happening in our world — the air we breathe, where we get our food, how our homes are built and furnished.
The book made me want to encourage everyone I know to reduce their toxic load as much as financially possible, to stop polluting our bodies and our earth, and to support access to alternative medicine.
Of course that would have been my book and this was hers and it was about pain and loss and the author’s fight.
What struggle would you like to share? How migt it speak to the larger political truths of our time?
ROXANNE GAY, HUNGER
This book was rough. A few chapters in, the author describes in horrifying detail being gang-raped when she was twelve years old by her supposed boyfriend and his friends. Then the weight she put on to keep herself safe, to make herself unattractive to men. Not fifty pounds, but five hundred. In chapter after chapter, she describes the pain of being a morbidly obese woman in a culture that values thinness over all.
In addition to her personal experiences, Gay surveys the media, especially television, for its shaming of fat people. I admired the way she brought her professional life as a media critic to bear on her personal experience.
There was little light in this book, however. While Gay begins to care for herself in the end, she seemed careful not to fall into the trap of the triumphant narrative. Being that overweight was a misery not easily escaped.
How do you see your reality reflected in the media? What do you want to do about it?
I loved of all of these books, not because they were perfect or because I agreed with everything the authors wrote. I loved them because they inspired me as a writer — they all experimented with language and form — and because the authors challenged me by daring to be exactly who they were.
This is my wish for all of us, that we stand up and say the truth of our lives in our work. That we dare to be ourselves and not what the culture tells us we should be. That we stop seeking approval and start screaming onto the page or the canvas or whatever our medium, no matter how unsightly our lives might be to others.
What are you reading now? What books or works of art have been your companions during difficult or lonely days?
As always, I’d love to hear.

PM Narendra Modi lowered nation’s prestige abroad: Opposition
Congress deputy leader Anand Sharma had given a notice for suspension of business and discussion over the PM’s remarks.
The Opposition insisted that by saying, "India used to beg for UNSC seat" and ‘scam India’, Modi had lowered the prestige of the country. While Modi was not present in the House as he was hosting Afghan president Mohammad Ashraf Ghani, House leader Arun Jaitley and parliamentary affairs minister M Venkaiah Naidu rebutted the Opposition claims.
Congress deputy leader Anand Sharma had given a notice for suspension of business and discussion over the PM’s remarks. Leader of the Opposition GN Azad too had given a separate notice for a discussion on voting rights to NRIs, leading to the treasury benches claiming that there was a conflict in two notices.
Seeking a clarification, Sharma said, "the prime minister said in Germany on April 14 that before this day India used to beg for a UNSC seat but now it will not beg... India has never begged... In Toronto, Canada, the PM said before he became PM it was ‘scam India’ but now it is skill India.
India cannot be a scam... The prime minister has tarnished the image of India and lowered its prestige." Intervening on behalf of the government, Jaitley took jibes at Congress and Sharad Yadav for siding with a party ‘associated with corruption’ after fighting against it for decades.
"There is no gag order and the Prime Minister of India is perfectly entitled to say what happened in the last 60 years. We will break away from that and present an honest government to the people of India," Jaitley said.

Welcoming tea and coffee preceded a long walk around the estate, through the trees and lands that make up Montalto.
David's hospitality was once again exceptional as we were treated to pumpkin soup, Tai chicken curry, lasagna, sausages, rice, potatoes, vegetables and a selection of breads. Tea, coffee, apple pie, apple crumble, ice cream, fresh fruit, buns, cakes - and that was just on my plate.
My mum, Mrs. Anderson Snr, informed me that I had lost enough weight and that I should consolidate what I have lost - I agreed and got stuck into the feast provided.
There was a pumpkin parade just after dark and 10 Chinese lanterns were sent into orbit, which was very exciting for the kids and the adults alike!

Uric acid is a chemical molecule and a natural harmful substance that is excreted from the body after purine-rich foods have been digested. The body metabolises compounds with carbon and nitrogen atoms to produce purine. However, consuming too many purine-rich meals can obstruct the body’s power to eliminate uric acid. Hyperuricemia, or excessive uric acid levels in the body, could result as an outcome of this.
While your body can filter uric acid on its own, it may be unable to remove the excess uric acid.
High amounts of uric acid in the body can also be caused by particular meals and beverages, chronic illnesses, and lifestyle issues.
Here are some ways in which your Uric Acid levels can be kept under Control.
Limit your intake of purine-rich meals:
These foods can produce uric acid when consumed, including meat, shellfish, and vegetables. Hyperuricemia is caused due to increased uric acid production. If you wish to keep a check on high uric acid levels in your body, limit or stop consuming Sardines, Dried beans, Fish, Mutton, Mushrooms, Cauliflower.
Avoid High Sugar Consumption:
Sugary foods and beverages should be avoided because they may contribute to excess uric acid levels in the body. Simple sugars like fructose found in honey, fruit, vegetables, and sweeteners raise blood uric acid levels by increasing purine metabolism. Apart from that, extra sugars in foods and beverages might cause metabolic troubles and weight gain.
Reduced stress and anxiety:
An elevated level of stress and worry might increase the likelihood of inflammation, which can contribute to hyperuricemia. A healthy lifestyle characterised by a thoughtful diet, daily exercise, and adequate sleep can assist you in this regard.
Consume Fibrous Food:
You may not only get rid of any digestive troubles with the aid of fibre-rich foods, but you can also balance your blood sugar and insulin levels, which is vital for managing uric acid levels in the body.
Losing weight and avoiding specific meals and drinks can help lower your uric acid level. Your kidneys are less efficient in eliminating uric acid through urine if you are overweight or obese. Obese people have a ten-fold increased risk of developing gout than those who have a healthy weight.
Drink plenty of water:
Staying hydrated aids in the removal of uric acid from your kidneys as well as the elimination of toxins from your body. Consuming at least 8-10 glasses of water per day is necessary and should not be avoided.
Vitamin C rich Diet:
Vitamin C-rich foods are also known to help lower uric acid levels in the blood. Furthermore, according to a study, participants who took vitamin C supplements had much lower uric acid levels than those who were given a placebo.
In conclusion, These are a few ways on how to Control Uric Acid. Locate a rheumatologist in your vicinity in minutes with Bajaj Fiserv.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, faces a preliminary inquiry from prosecutors in France over allegations he and other men raped a prostitute in Washington in December 2010. The probe stems from evidence gathered during an investigation by judges in Lille of French prostitutes being sent to the US, which resulted in charges against Strauss-Kahn in March.
Alibaba Group Holding, China’s largest e-commerce provider, has agreed to repurchase about a 20 per cent stake in itself from US web portal Yahoo! for about $US7.1 billion ahead of a potential initial public offering. Yahoo will receive at least $US6.3 billion in cash and as much as $US800 million in newly issued Alibaba preferred stock, the companies said. Bloomberg
Ryanair Holdings, Europe’s No. 1 discount airline, has boosted annual profit by 25 per cent while predicting earnings will fall this fiscal year as the carrier struggles to increase fares sufficiently to make up for higher fuel costs.

Autoflowering strains provide fantastic results in little time, often surging from seed to harvest in as little as 8 weeks. Both beginner and advanced growers will have a fun and easy time raising these varieties.
Follow the fail-safe week-by-week grow guide below for a quick and easy route to harvest time. We cover all of the parameters and variables you need to consider—at the correct times—to ensure your plants remain healthy, vigorous, and productive.
HOW LONG DO AUTOFLOWERS TAKE FROM SEED TO HARVEST?
You can make your own potting mix using the following formula:
Their impressive resistance to pathogens and pests allows them to withstand the challenges of outdoor growing.
Germination usually takes 1–3 days. During this time, your seeds will activate and send a root down into the soil and a shoot above the surface. To begin the germination process, you’ll need to prepare a suitable soil mix. Autoflowers don’t need as much nutrients as photoperiod varieties and prefer light and airy soil.
There are also many countries that permit buying, selling, and possession of seeds, but not their cultivation. For those countries, we sell seeds as collectables and souvenirs.
In the article it says “Thus, there is a brief window of time between the first appearance of sexual characteristics (assuming that regular, non-feminized auto seeds are used) …”
Why would it matter if the seeds are regular or feminized?
Over the last decade or two, breeders have experimented with crossing C. ruderalis genetics with desirable, high-cannabinoid strains to produce commercially-useful autoflowering hybrids. It is possible that certain other autoflowering landraces may also have played a part in developing the first “autos”, such as a plant known as the “Mexican Rudy”. As the name suggests, this was a ruderalis-type plant found in Mexico. It was used to produce LowRyder, one of the first commercial autoflowering strains on the market.
10 Interesting Facts About Cannabis Seeds
So if growing is illegal there then why do you sell seeds there? You said you cant ship the US for the exact same reason. BTW marijuana is becoming more and more legal across the USA, so when do you plan to start shipping seeds here? I mean, there are a lot of fake companies out there selling your product anyways, and they ship here.
We would love to send seeds to the US, but even though many states are now permitting cannabis growing, it is still illegal under federal law. Additionally, seeds of any kind being sent to the US need to have the correct agricultural certification; this is something we would have to take care of even if our seeds were legal to ship there. (There are many shops here that sell tulip bulbs as souvenirs, and advertise the fact that their bulbs come with the certificate that makes it possible to take them into the US.)
Cannabis ruderalis is a putative third species (or subspecies) of cannabis, and is found in northerly latitudes of the northern hemisphere, particularly in Russia. C. ruderalis is notable for its small stature, low cannabinoid levels, hardiness and cold-resistance — and of course, the tendency to flower regardless of light cycles once a certain age and size has been achieved.
Thus, there is a brief window of time between the first appearance of sexual characteristics (assuming that regular, non-feminized auto seeds are used) and the permeation of flowering hormones throughout the tissues of the plant. This window may be just a few hours, and it is therefore crucial to watch your plants for pre-flowers and take cuttings as soon as they appear.
There isn’t a lot of action in the first week, but it will start pretty soon. Additionally, remember not to feed any nutrients during the first week. Sure, you want your plants to grow fast and also want to help them, but feeding nutrients in the very first week will actually burn your plants faster than you can imagine!
Once your plants have grown a good amount of white hairs, they’re in the proper flowering phase now. During this stage you should add nutrients that include a lot more potassium and phosphorous compared to nitrogen. Depending on the specific strain you’re growing, it’s possible that your plants start stretching a lot so you will have to adjust the lights so that the stretching doesn’t go out of control.
Just like in the other growth stages, you should adjust the conditions; During the first half of the flowering stage the humidity and temperature should be the following:
With autos, however, you can’t do that. Why? Well, it’s because autos follow a fixed timing. As soon as the plant grows for a while, the plant switches to the flowering phase on its own without your interference. And, this is also why most growers prefer autos. There’s zero maintenance and you’ll never have to worry about light leaks.
The plants will show some growth at this point. Use some nutrients, but it will be better if you use it at quarter strength. You can even use a little more but try not to burn the babies. Once the first pair of true leaves have appeared, your plant is officially in the vegetative stage.

You know what I miss? Singing songs in rounds. There are very few things as good in life as singing songs in rounds. I think what is primarily wrong with modern Christian music is that they think they are too cool to sing/write songs in rounds.
Yesterday I was nostalgically thinking about that song Behold What Manner Of Love, and how great it sounds in rounds. It reminds me of childhood: church, Sunday school, school and also Summer School, that terrifying yearly trip where I'd be shuttled off in some bus with a horde of strange children I'd never met to some place for the day. There were tears. But at least there was singing in rounds.
I was trying to remember other good songs we did in rounds but couldn't remember. Anyone from my generation remember any?

645. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if an exemption will be considered for a sheltered housing service (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9537/19]
The Residential Tenancies Acts 2004-2016 regulates the landlord-tenant relationship in the rented residential sector and sets out the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants. The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) was established as an independent statutory body under the Act to operate a national tenancy registration system and to resolve disputes between landlords and tenants.
The Residential Tenancies Acts apply to dwellings let by approved housing bodies (AHBs) to social housing tenants since 7 April 2016, making the RTB dispute resolution service available to the sector and providing tenancy protections.
The Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No.2) Bill 2018, which was published on 19 December 2018, contains amendments to enhance the rental data to be provided to the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), including provision for the annual registration of tenancies. The aim is to gather more accurate and detailed tenancy and rental data on an annual basis to improve the information available to assist with policy formulation in the residential rental sector. Sections 15 and 16 of the Bill amend sections 137 and 137A of the Residential Tenancies Act, respectively, and provide for the RTB to charge fees, without exemptions, for annual registrations of tenancies - including a €40 fee per tenancy registration by private providers and €20 per tenancy registration by an AHB. Under the new annual registration requirements, a fee can only be charged in respect of the same dwelling once per year and a discounted single registration fee (€170 for a private landlord, €85 for an AHB landlord) can be applied where the same landlord registers not more than 10 tenancies of dwellings comprised in the same property.
The key change from the existing registration fees is that AHBs will be charged fees that are half those applicable to private providers – currently, all landlords pay the same registration fee. The reduction in AHB fees is proposed in recognition of the public service that they provide in meeting the housing needs of those in receipt of social housing supports, and of AHBs' charitable (or similar) status.

Cloud storage player Dropbox has rebranded ‘Dropbox for Teams’ with the more enterprise-friendly moniker ‘Dropbox for Business’, and said that new single sign-in capabilities will arrive in the next month.
As well as being an increasingly compelling service that enables consumers to store and share digital content, Dropbox is hurtling towards its destiny of becoming a next generation enterprise IT company.
Single sign-on (SSO) works behind the scenes to let users sign in just once to a central identity provider, like Active Directory, and securely access all their business apps, like Dropbox. With SSO, companies can put their existing trusted identity provider in charge of the authentication process.
Dropbox says it is working with identity providers including Ping Identity, Okta, OneLogin, Centrify, and Symplified to bring SSO to customers next month.
“With all the changes we’re making to create a Dropbox that’s better for companies both large and small, it’s become clear that the name ‘Dropbox for Teams’ doesn’t quite fit anymore,” Anand Subramani, Dropbox product manager, explained.
“To better rep the features we’re building and the awesome companies that use Dropbox to create, share, and save their most important work, we realise the time has come to rename to Dropbox for Business.”
Dropbox revealed that its service is now used in more than 2m companies and 95pc of Fortune 500 companies.
Every workweek businesses save over 600m files to the cloud service.
Dropbox, which counts more than 100m users worldwide, plans to create up to 40 new jobs in Dublin.
MIT graduates Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi began work on Dropbox in 2007, as a Y Combinator start-up. It emerged in April last year that U2’s Bono and the Edge took part in a US$250m second-round funding of Dropbox.

A friend sent me NASA’s earth art book and immediately, I started scribbling down place names for no other reasons than these: They are arresting names; and I wonder what goes on there. What do these places look like up close? Who lives there and how do they live in and treat these places and spaces? Are there open spaces for me to go wandering about in and exploring?
Ever since I arrived in the Bay Area, I have a renewed appreciation for open spaces that I have not felt since my childhood and my later adult sojurn in Jamaica. Just as importantly, this appreciation informs and colors my art. When I looked at the NASA pictures I thought once again, how cheeky, trying to create something, anything, when nature has already done it and done it so well. Here I am, getting ready to re-work my “the vees in picasso” sketches that I did last spring. I know not where the inspiration came from nor why it came from those particular sketches. All I know is I have a clear vision and I am going to move it from inside my head and out onto my canvas. But damned if one of the NASA shots isn’t an almost exact replica of what is in my mind’s eye! Even the coloration and texture (hence the use of modeling clay on the canvas) are the same as what I envisioned.
I just got through experimenting with a light modeling clay and a golden bronze acrylic paint that I have been reluctant to use. The experiment was tedious and it took me a long time to master that paint. I tried working with this bronze before and it hadn’t been tactile. In fact, the wretched thing was and still is, a very heavy paint. It does not rest easily on the canvas. This is the same paint that I worked with in the “David at Yosemite” painting. Turns out this paint is truly a bitch to work with and not simply because the David painting was a difficult subject.
I finally finished this new experiment in bronze painting. It has turned into a painting called, Little Fairy Castles in the Cow Pasture (or Childhood at Belvedere Estate). When I finished it I thought, “That was really difficult but I’m ready to work on my “vee” painting. Now along comes NASA with its “Earth-observing environmental satellites in orbit around the planet”, to show me that it has already been done! They have all conspired to outdo me, NASA, Earth, Nature and those dim-witted satellites that never did anything except spin about in the skies. They never lifted paintbrushes nor tried to coax heavy bronze paint onto canvas! Adding to my chagrin, the NASA picture, shown at the top of this post, is of the desert outside of the United States that I have my eyes on. Yes, it is of the Namib area that I wrote about in an earlier article, the same Namib desert that I invited my Yosemite painting man to visit with me so we could photograph, paint and sand-board there. Sand-boarding and sand-sledding in Swakopmund, Namibia, was another of our Urban Daddy Magazine discoveries. But that is another story.
Here now are some of the place names from NASA’s earth as art book that stirred my imagination:
- Painted Desert, USA
- Desolation Canyon, USA
- Lake Disappointment, Australia (childhood fairy tales and river myths come to mind)
- Parana River Delta, Argentina (this conjures up images of piranha fish)
- Anti-Atlas Mountains, Morocco (what does it even mean to be “anti” in a place name?)
- Carbonate Sand Dunes, Atlantic Ocean (how do you even have dunes in the ocean??)
- Ribbon Lakes, Russia
The following are not place names but oh, the conjuring up my mind does just thinking of these titles: gravity waves, ice waves, phytoplankton bloom, and Wadi Branches, Jordan (is this a geographical feature or a place-name?).
Oh, stupid NASA Earth as Art book can be accessed here: http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/703154main_earth_art-ebook.pdf and the artworks mentioned in this article are shown below.
Happy New Year and see you in 2013!
Wow: But damned if one of the NASA shots isn’t an almost exact replica of what is in my mind’s eye! Even the coloration and texture (hence the use of modeling clay on the canvas) are the same as what I envisioned.
All the best, Mrs. Young

If by now you’ve read the history of the British Airways Negus livery, you should be well up to date on the paint work.
As well as being treated to Negus, I also got to see the BOAC livered Boeing 747 arrive, and the BEA Airbus A319 (the Landor Boeing 747-400 was in the shop as it had a lighting strike, and was being painted up).
With the BEA A319 down, it was time for the main event – the Negus Boeing 747.
With the plane touching down, it of course had to taxi back up to Technical Block N, to await the British Airways staff and media.
With the main engines off, and the plane on APU power, the Boeing 747 was towed towards the hanger entrance.
As you can see – I was lined up on the centreline… which gave some intresting results.
With the plane arriving at the stand, steps were pulled up to allow the crew to disembark
With the crew and publicity photos done and dusted, it was time to have a walk around C-CIVB.
All too soon, it was time to leave the hanger, with the plane due out on a flight later.

Fitzgerald: Partnership With Peduto Critical To The Region’s Development
Among the supporters at Mayor Bill Peduto’s primary election night victory party was Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald.
“We've had a good relationship for a long time,” Fitzgerald said. “We talk all the time … we have a very similar outlook in how we try to govern.”
Fitzgerald has been county executive since January 2012, two years longer than Peduto has been mayor, and he's looking forward to continuing to work together.
“It works better for the region when that happens,” Fitzgerald said.
Without offering specific instances, he said cooperation hasn’t always been the case.
“When you have conflict [among local leaders], what typically happens is outsiders, meaning Washington, Harrisburg and businesses, tend to walk away,” Fitzgerald said.
According to the county executive, federal and state officials considering development projects, and businesses considering locating in the area want to be certain that local leaders are in synch.
“We’re working smoothly together, and I think that relationship has borne benefits for the region, for the city and the county,” he said.
Fitzgerald admits that he and the mayor don’t always agree, that the city’s and the county’s priorities aren’t always in lock step.
“We don’t put them out in public and start criticizing each other," Fitzgerald said. "I can’t even think of many over the past three-plus years he’s been mayor.”
Fitzgerald said he and Peduto are in agreement about future priorities: improving transportation, investing in infrastructure and enhancing neighborhoods that have “been left behind.”
The Fitzgerald-Peduto partnership could continue for several more years, because under the county home rule charter, Fitzgerald is eligible to seek a third four-year term in 2019.

Earlier this season I posted some snarky tweet about how few things in life have ever lived up to the hype as much as the Tigers’ terrible defense, which predictably led to tons of Tigers fans telling me that defense hadn’t actually hurt the team very much. Or something, I mostly just remember that there was a lot name-calling involved.
Now that we’re at the halfway point of the season and the Tigers are one of the most disappointing teams in baseball at 40-42 that whole “their defense isn’t that bad” stuff has quieted down, it seems. After all, among AL teams they rank 10th in errors and dead last in both turning balls in play into outs and Ultimate Zone Rating. In other words, the Tigers’ defense has been every bit as bad as everyone expected.
Anyway, today I’ve been watching the Tigers-Twins game and it featured this beauty from Detroit’s defense:

A new podcast from My Heart Radio and people will break down the day's most talked about stories, bring you exclusive interviews, get a free throw shooting contest and I'm all made seventeen free throws straight and beat us all and introduced you to real people who are making a difference in their community.
Listen and subscribe to people every day on the radio or wherever you get your favorite podcast. Well, hello, everybody, what's going on? I'm Trevor Noah and this is the Daily Social Distancing Show. Today is February 11th, which means, my friends, Valentine's Day is only three days away. I repeat, three days away. So just remember to leave out a plate of milk and cookies for Cupid or else he'll make you get a divorce. Anyway, on tonight's show, Democrats make their closing arguments against Donald Trump.
Jordan Klepper is back in D.C. for the first time since the riots. And why being nice to your mama might get you vaccinated. Plus, Daniel Kaluuya joins us on the show to talk about his brand new movie, Judas and the Black Messiah. So let's do this, people.
Welcome to the daily social distancing show from Trevor's couch in New York City to your couch somewhere in the world. This is the Daily Social Decency Show with no use. Let's talk about the coronavirus, the only thing with more mutations than Rudy Giuliani. There's good news in America as cases and hospitalizations continue to fall. But with dangerous coronavirus variants spreading around the country, the race is now on to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible, which is why in Massachusetts they started doing this starting today.
In Massachusetts, vaccine eligibility begins for friends and family members who accompany a person who is seventy five years of age or older to their vaccine appointment. Only one companion per person is allowed to sign up for this vaccine appointment and a mass vaccination site regardless of their age or health.
Hell yeah. Massachusetts.
Oh, this is just like the club, but the exact opposite. The shots are free and if you have your grandma with you, you get in right away. But yes, anyone can get a vaccine in Massachusetts as long as they roll up with someone seventy five or over.
And you know what this means, right? It means everyone is going to want to make friends with old people in Massachusetts. Now, in fact, they should just make this the next season of The Bachelorette, who will get Gladys's syringe. Stay tuned to find out. And this could also make for some awkward situations, because this is when the grandkids find out which one is the favorites or that grandma has been having an affair with the pool boy all along.
I love you all equally, but Hofmeyr has abs of steel.
And look, I know there's going to be a run on octogenarians now, but if you ask me, we shouldn't need any more incentives to hang out with old people because old people are the best. They're full of wisdom. They usually have free candy in their pockets and they have lots of practical advice about defeating Nazis, which is super useful these days. But America isn't the only country taking creative measures to combat coronavirus. They're also making big changes in France, a.k.a. horny Belgium, where office culture may never be the same.
Employees in France will soon be allowed to eat at their desks at work. Currently, the French labor code actually prohibits businesses from allowing employees to eat meals in areas that are dedicated to work. But the Labour minister will be making the changes as part of new covid restrictions as employees return to the office. Now, it could signal a change for a country with a very strong work life balance, with one French woman telling The New York Times the amendment is, quote, a catastrophe.
I agree this is a catastrophe for French culture. First, they start eating up their desks. And what's next? Working up their desks. SLOCUMB Yeah, but this is kind of wild.
Apparently, up until now, it had been illegal in France to eat lunch at your desk because they think if it's allowed, workers are going to be pressured to do it instead of taking a lunch break. Not to mention it's really hard to get fresh ground pepper out of a keyboard. And I'm not going to lie. I was really surprised to learn about this rule. I mean, I would have thought that if anyone ate while they were working, it would be the French.
I mean, the main pastry doubles as a phone. Hello. Go left. I need those documents on my desk by the end of the day.
Ha ha ha ha. OK, magnifique. And finally, a story about some people in the Caribbean who were quarantining a little too well this morning, three Cuban nationals are recovering after being stranded on a remote, deserted island for five weeks.
The married couple and another man were found on Anguilla Key, a small island between Key West and the Bahamas.
We actually discovered them waving next to their temporary shelter that they built for themselves.
Pictures show the shelter the three had made with little food and water. They reportedly survived off rats and conch shells.
Good Lord, people, that sounds absolutely traumatic to be on a beach and not be able to Instagram it.
That is a punishment I wish on nobody. But yeah, that's right. A married couple and another man was stranded on an island.
Thirty three days. And the person I feel worse for is the other man because not only are you the third wheel, but once that rat supply dries up, you know, you the first thing on the menu while you guys, you guys looking at me like that, you guys want to have like a threesome, I mean something like that. But for real, actually being stranded on a tropical island seems way less fun than they made it seem on Gilligan's Island.
I don't remember ever seeing Marianne walking around covered in red blood. But let's move on to our top story, the second impeachment of Donald Trump, former president of the United States and current Mar a Lago toilet clogger.
Today was day three of the trial, and we'll catch you up on all of the latest in another episode of the magical, wonderful road to Impeachment.
No one will go to the beach.
That's probably presidential harassment.
So today was the final day of the Democrats presenting their case against Trump.
And one of the most shocking revelations of the presentation has been the never before seen footage of the riots, which showed us just how close some sentences came to meeting the world's worst to a group.
House impeachment managers used graphic new video and audio to recreate moments from the Capitol siege, and some of that footage showed just how close lawmakers and their staffers came to the pro Trump mob that stormed the Capitol.
Among the very close calls, this security video showing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer being escorted by his security detail, then quickly turning around after spotting nearby rioters. Another video shows Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman redirecting Senator Mitt Romney away from rioters just down the hall.
All right. That is terrifying. There were so many riots in so many parts of the capital, but these senators, which is running around like they were stuck in the weekend's HOF maze. And you can understand why Mitt Romney especially would be sprinting away from the small. But I mean, these are the people who were chanting hang Mike Pence, Mike Pence, the man who spent the last four years banging the back of Trump's head. So to them, Mitt Romney is basically Mormon AOC.
I mean, I don't know what Mitt would have done if he had run into them. He would have had to try and blend in with them.
Let's find these trainers. It's time to kill the cheapskate.
I hardly agree, my good friends. And afterwards, let's go to the local confectionary and enjoy some vanilla milkshakes.
What a great idea. This guy's all right.
But this isn't an impeachment trial of a few thousand insane Kuhnen followers. No, this is the impeachment of Donald Trump. So once again today, the Democrats focused on how Donald Trump incited the riots.
And what was really helpful was that the rioters themselves provided the evidence.
Even after the attack, the insurrectionists made clear to law enforcement that they were just following President Trump's orders.
They didn't shy away from their crimes because they thought they were following orders from the commander in chief.
Oh, no, no, no, no. It's out there in New York this week. First off, let's go jump. Yes, dude, dude, let's tell Trump what we're fighting for. Trump. Guys, come on.
Don't call Trump in the middle of the riots. You just saw him at the rally a couple hours ago. You got to be chill. You call the morning after the insurrection. You know, you've got to play the game also. How embarrassing is this for Trump? Even his supporters knew they can call him any time and he won't be busy. But overall, these videos make it pretty obvious that Trump incited the rioters. They were wearing Trump hats, carrying Trump flags, and they all just watched Trump speak and they were chanting Fight for Trump.
Even that dog from Blue's Clues is like, I need to challenge you guys. We will. We will. And we'll know what this is. Right. I mean, if one guy stormed the Capitol because he thought you said it to him, maybe you can just blame him.
But if an entire stadium of people misunderstood you in the exact same way, I don't know, man, that's just on you. But if there's one theme of this trial, aside from Trump being super guilty, it's Republican senators not caring that Trump is super guilty.
The new evidence and the dramatic recreation of the January 6th mayhem apparently did very little to sway most most of those Republican senators.
The jurors, some of them are explicitly not listening feet up on desks. They're reading books. They're reading briefing papers on other topics.
We are seeing more empty seats on the floor of the Senate. Our colleague Monterrosa was in the Senate chamber just a few moments ago.
He counted up to 15 empty seats while the Democrats were playing their video right. Or storming the Capitol. Handful of Republican senators, including Rick Scott, Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, barely even looked at the screen, according to reports. And Rand Paul was looking down at a paper in his lap where he had begun doodling with a pencil.
OK, I'm sorry. That is so disrespectful. Hey, Rand Paul, why don't you show us what you were doodling instead of paying attention to the present? Oh, my God. It's beautiful. Wow, you you should have been an honest friend, you should these sentences are a jury for a trial of the president, but instead they're acting like bored middle schoolers. What did Democrats have to do to make this interesting for them, bringing one of those math teachers who wraps everything?
My name is Doug, and I'm here to say democracy was threatened in a major way. Booch.
So for many Republicans, there's nothing that could happen in this trial to change their minds, but if there's a Republican senator out there who's still struggling to ignore the evidence against Trump, well, good news.
We have just the products for you.
Are you a Republican senator feeling overwhelmed by overwhelming evidence, introducing impeach parts, the only headphones with evidence canceling technology so you can ignore even the loudest chants of Hang Mike Pence, impeach Pardes. Also drown out that little voice in your head that's disgusted with what you've become.
You've sold your soul, Josh. You're a chump. Plus, they were great in TV interviews. This election was not stolen.
Do you accept that fact? I think we have some audio problems right there in peach pods, what insurrection or you now get a free Michael to sleep through the rest of the trial and comfort.
All right. When we come back, Jordan Klepper goes back to D.C. to see what happened after the capital riots.
And Daniel Kaluuya is joining us on the show.

Variety store for details. Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show, this is the second time that Democrats have impeached Donald Trump and it raises the question, have they learned any lessons from the first time? Well, to find out, we sent Jordan Klepper down to Washington, D.C. for another episode of Fingers The Pulse.
It's impeachment week again, so I'm back in Washington, D.C., where our capital is a bit different from the last time I was here. It is hard to figure out how to get in towards the Capitol. I want to get to the capital gang. I went down the Constitution there, miles and miles of fences.
Somebody get on parler or something to figure out how to get in there.
And the thousands of screaming maiga folks is down to two.
What do you think of the impeachment if it wasn't the president who called the riots?
What I saw and what there's a lot of evidence showing is that many of the initial people who entered the building violently were leftist antifa. I was here.
It seemed like a lot of people were Trump supporters. A thousand people broke into the Capitol, erected a noose outside and tried to kill the speaker of the House and the vice president.
I literally think that you have added the tried to kill all those things then you have ignored. I got to show you some video. I got it. You want to trade videos because I'd love to share with you as well.
I'm not going to give you my email yet. The mugger faithful aren't the only ones who want to go to the video house.
Prosecutors plan to, quote, have a fast paced cinematic case.
Raschein is aiming for a blockbuster action film this week.
Yes, impeachment, too, is bigger and louder and more cinematic than the first one, because as we all know, when you're dealing with American audiences, stunning imagery goes farther than facts.
What are you doing? Are you doing the spinning bad boy shot that we always do? The bad boy shot. Stop it.
I understand the Democrats movie making angle, but how is this blockbuster approach playing with the few locals we could actually find?
The first impeachment gets in the weeds feels a little bit more like a complicated spy drama made by a foreign director. This new one, this new one, I think is just so obvious, you know? Well, a drama and chaos, unfortunately, murder and sedition, you know, it has all of a good plot, twists of a crime. I'm not excited about it because the fact that it had to happen is because something horrible happened in the first place.
You're not excited for the new impeachment. Would you say you're getting too old for this shit? I am Bruce Willis. Too old for this shit anyway. Danny Glover, you know, Lethal Weapon. Danny Glover. I guess Bruce Willis was getting too old for the Die Hard series in and of itself. All I'm saying is somebody needs to say, hasta la vista, baby. Am I right? As long as there's not a third movie, I'll be great.
I hope you're right.
Although we do have a villain who's never been held accountable in his life, it kind of keeps the franchise open. I think they had a good opening day with the video. And I think Jamie Raskin did a really good job of explaining that some people were either getting ready to just hide behind their desk or like grab a pair of scissors and go out and scream, really want to run, make it personal. Give us people to care about exactly which.
Jordan why Jordan Peele, you should be able to get up and impeach him. Manager He's too busy making scary stuff that I only stay through half of it because it's both scary. And I have certain race guilt issues because of my privilege.
Showing hours and hours of footage of blatant criminality seems like a sound legal tactic. So how does the twenty twenty lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff feel? The sequel stacks up to the original hours.
Might have been more the Ken Burns documentary. This might be more of the HBO miniseries, but, you know, we had to try to bring to life events that were happening half a world away in Ukraine. Here, you don't have to imagine anything because the senators were there, the House members were there. We watched it on our television screens. Why do you think the impeachment is necessary? It's absolutely necessary. If he's not disqualified now, if the senators don't follow their oath and don't follow the evidence and he's acquitted again and he decides to run again, he will put the country through hell again.
There's accountability, really. America's thing. I mean, that's we're better at, like barbecue and wrap around sunglasses. I think that the lack of priority on accountability over the last several years has been why we're in this predicament. There are critics who say Congress should go back to doing more important things like stopping the space lasers that are causing all the wildfires. Should we be focusing on those big, important issues? This points to another huge problem, not the lasers, the wildfires, but the people who believe the people who believe in that kooky, crazy batshit conspiracy theory stuff.
They're members of Congress. Now, how do you convince people who are both witnesses and jurors to a crime that a crime actually occurred?
The Republican Party needs to be a party of ideas and ideology. Again, at the end of the day, what this is really about is can they find the courage to tell their constituents back home that what? They were fed by Donald Trump was a bunch of lies. So you're banking on the courage of someone like Ted Cruz. Good luck with that. He's going to pick on that. I would be bankrupt a long time ago. I was going to say he won't even stand up for his wife, let alone the country.
So so the final jury is the American people, which didn't like rotten tomatoes. It's like the critics score versus the audience score. Now, the first debate. It was great. Critics loved it. Audience was so so on it. But maybe for this new one, the audience score pops right up and there's a conviction. Well, I'm hoping that the the audience score on the senator score are in alignment. And they both say we never want to see the likes of Donald Trump in office again.
So will impeachment, too. Don't rush to Judgment Day move any Senate Republicans to convict Trump as I look around or transform capital for signs of hope. I know no more bad boy shots.
OK, I'm. No, no.
Thank you so much for that, John. All right. When we come back, Daniel Kaluuya joins me on the show to talk about his brand new movie, Judas and the Black Messiah. You don't miss it.

Welcome back to the Daily Social Distancing Show. Earlier today I spoke with award winning actor Daniel Kaluuya. We talked about his brand new film where he portrays Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton. I am a revolutionary in several moscona.
You can kill a revolutionary, but you can't kill a revolution. I tell you something, then you can do it. That is my favorite. Let me tell you something, man. It's been a while since I watched a movie, man. Kudos to everyone. Kudos to yourself. Kudos to Keith. Kudos to Shuker King. This this is Yemen. I if I had the Oscars at my house, I would just give them to you. Now to go to the awards.
We just take the Oscars. We give them to you now and you go home and you do whatever you want with them. How are you doing?
Go for it, bro. This this Chris Graham speak about this. No, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. You know, when you did something that you're proud of. Yeah. Everyone put everything into that and we put everything into that. So I'm feeling good. Man, how you like your humor.
Thank you very much, man. I'm ready to join the Black Panther Party. That's what I'm ready to do.
I can see on the front line with that to feed some kids with the breakfast program right now.
Oh, man, this movie. And you you must be tired, man. You must be running around doing press because everybody should want to speak to you about this film, Judas and the Black Messiah. Like, look, Daniel, you've known for a long time. I'm one of your biggest fans. But, you know, there are things that, you know, even if you love Lionel Messi, that's still a goal that he'll score where you're like, how did he do that?
Even if you love Ronaldo, he'll do like a kick you like. How did he do that? That's what I feel like you do with your acting, is I know how you act. I love how you act, whether it's queen and slim, you know, whether it's get out. It doesn't matter what it is. But in this film and Judas in the Black Messiah, we see a side of not just the Black Panther Party, but Fred Hampton that I think many people wouldn't know about in American history.
Tell me a little bit about the story and why Daniel Collier decided not. I think I can bring this person to life in a way that a lot of people haven't seen before.
Yes. Yes. You know, Chairman Fred, he is a man of the people. You know, he was in Chicago and he became chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party.
And Ryan and Coogler actually pulled me to the side of the Black Panther reshoots and asked me to be a part of it. And when I just go on it, I just feel honored that they even saw me in that way. You know, it kind of exciting that came to me. They saw it before I saw it.
And and and then, yeah, I just read the script and I was just like, you know, there's a lot of information about how he died, but it's not a lot of information about how remarkably he lived. Right. That's what it is. It's just like, wow, this this guy lived incredibly doesn't like he knew things on a deep, deep, deep level.
And not only knew them execute them, though, the knowledge. And he had original thoughts. And then he he did something about it in a way that was digestible to people that were like him. You know, it's like there's so much that has to happen.
Then he was twenty twenty one. But it's you know, it's like he was just I say he's like is a brilliant mind and a brilliant heart. So for that it was kind of like, you know, it's kind of like a way to serve something that that was that was articulated, the stuff that you believed.
But also it's that kind of like it was learning about Chairman Fred allowed me to grow as a man. I can only imagine. So I look at my preconceptions, look at my fears and hang ups that I had and kind of grow in order to kind of occupy his words.
You know, I think preconceptions is the perfect word because the stories that we've been told about so many historical figures are told by the people who oftentimes either end of their lives prematurely or didn't want them to free the people they were trying to free. I mean, Nelson Mandela was labeled as a terrorist. You know, Mahatma Gandhi was persona non grata with the British. Fred Hampton was no different. And what I love about the story is it doesn't show us a simplistic view of the Black Panther Party or Fred Hampton.
It shows us a holistic view in this film that we all these are human beings fighting for their rights. And what I loved was how the story talks about how the Black Panther Party built a coalition of black, white and Hispanic to fight against oppression.
Yeah, that was that was the scariest thing to the powers that be know is that that Chairman Fred had the the knowledge, the clarity and the ability to kind of see people from different communities and understand that they were they were more aligned than people would think, especially people that they had conflicts with, like the young patriots. You know, there's a scene in the film where we go and then we're greeted with the Confederate flag, you know, and even in conflict, Chairman Fred in the Black Panther Party found points of interest, you know, and but not in sacrifice of their love, of blackness and love of the black community, because we live in a day and age.
If you join with someone that isn't aligned, if you feel like you're selling out, you're compromising yourself. Is that that thought was even in that mind. It was all to bolster the love for the community. But they saw that they were in solidarity then fragmentation.
You know, I would love to know from your side as Daniel, how did you begin to embody Fred the way that you did? Like what? What did you look for in him that helped you bring him to life in this movie, you know, is trouble kind of. I was in a space where I would watch his speeches and be aware of how I was feeling as a result of it and going how I was feeling moved and and not so then I was like, oh, my goal is to occupy his spiritual space, that position.
And co I want to move the audience in the way that he is moving me at this moment. You know, I don't really know the words, but that feeling that I felt.
But I knew I felt it and I said I knew I was able to occupy it and I was like, cool, let me just go there. Let me have that as my aspiration in terms of this. And that's kind of it's kind of like you're a vessel in those situations. And certain scenes were saying things at your words. You can't help but let the words tell you how to play the will tell you how to be the voice, me through the voice and how important that was, because I feel like Get-Out was all about the eyes.
You know, you you made those eyes come alive. It felt like that was the whole story. And it felt like in this a lot of Fred is that voice.
Yeah, it was the voice was everything in in approaching it. So then I was when I started dial it. What would you like. An amazing dialect coach. It was a real kind of real challenge. And also another thing was what I had to really watch my voice because I'm not classically trained well.
How I arrived to acting was a very raw improv way. Yeah. And that's when I did plays to kind of just go and just lead with emotion but damage my voice. And I knew on this one I couldn't afford to because you're doing twelve hour days with just doing speeches. So Audrey said, you know, you should look into a singing coach. So I found an opera singing coach. Wow. I'm with an opera singing coach.
And then and then because I just I love the way opera singers commanded the space or sonically Chairman Fred felt like that, you know, how he occupied a room, you know, he just occupied it. And and because of the amount I was doing, I needed to engage my diaphragm and condition my vocal cords for those kind of days.
And so I would do gospel songs and I would do songs that felt like Chairman Fred speeches that I would do the speeches and then I would study in Cadence because he had a different cadence to when he spoke to different cadence when he did speech.
I identify him defining those differences, but also feeling like the same person is kind of like it was it was there was a kind of but also it was for me it was what was the speech patterns was like a clue into his book.
And having spent all this time embodying the man, researching him, living in him, you know, recreating that history, what do you think some of the misconceptions are that people have about Fred Hampton that you've learned about him and and maybe has changed in your mind as well since taking on this role?
I was blessed enough that I didn't have any preconceptions about him, you know, and I didn't have any preconceptions about the Black Panther Party.
I just understood the other people in order for, you know, the white fair dressed as. Right. Right. Right.
Manifested as like these people are like killing us. They're terrorists.
They like the Ku Klux Klan, you know, and it's that kind of thing.
Well, I actually I thought, like, these people were like incredible, uncompromising love for themselves. And they would they would God themselves with guns and a God, the community with guns, because because you're trying to kill us, you know, it's like if you don't protect your family, I say someone better comes into your house and you don't protect your family. What are you saying about yourself and what you're saying about how you feel about your family?
You know, everyone understands that scenario, but I think the black community within America, there's a lot happening as these people are occupying that space, is oppressing these people and black people around the world. Right. If you don't stand up for yourself, that doesn't make sense. It makes sense to protect yourself. But he's not only did they protect themselves, they loved themselves themselves, you know, and the protection was just a manifestation of a form of love.
You know, one one thing that really stood out to me in this film was realizing how people are connected around the globe without even realizing it. When you watch the story of the Black Panthers, they were an international organization. They were here, you know, when they were trying to expand in the US. But they they they they talked to people from different places around the world and said, you share a struggle that we share and we want to do this together.
How do you think that has factored into, like, how you play these roles and what you think about it? You know, when you when you look at that shared experience around the globe, because some people might be like, you come from England, you drink tea all day and you have a good life. But sometimes there's a disconnect. And I feel like the Black Panthers understood that they would connect with black from other places to be like, yo, we are all black and we're all experiencing this oppression in a in a similar and yet different way.
I think are I think Chairman Fred especially understood it was an international struggle. You know, and you see in the first speech that he references the Mozambican Frelimo fight, you know. Right. Is. Struggles in Angola, you know, is that is he is connecting the dots, you know, when I was like his points of references like Jomo Kenyatta, you know, it's like you and you can go on that kind of rabbit hole and go down there and find out all the stuff that's happening there in terms of how to battle what's happening here and what sometimes what pitfalls to look out for overthrowing.
Actually, you're just replacing what was there with a with a black face. And that is the issue is capitalism, you know. Yes. And so it's understanding and understanding that he he they saw it as a big as a macro point of view, you know, and it's what they saw is this is a Western construct that's kind of a Western virus was like, you know, it's like it's like a pandemic. You know, what's what's what's happened to black people and the oppression of black people from white fear and white anxiety?
I hope that everyone sees the film. And then I hope that everyone who's voting sees the film as well because it deserves every award possible. Thank you for creating and thank you for being here. I love seeing you again, my friend, love. Appreciate you, my brother.
Don't forget people. Judas and the Black Messiah is in theaters and on HBO next February 12th. All right. We're going to take a quick break, but we'll be right back after this.
Lancaster, South Carolina, is in the middle of not much, but growing up nearby. I knew it as the hometown of a black man named Jim Duncan, who became a Super Bowl hero after the 15th.
Now, my new podcasts return man. I'll discover that his death still makes no sense at all.
The story was that my brother went to the police station, took a gun off a police officer and shot himself in the head. Most people don't believe that. For the past three years at the Rockville Herald, I looked back at a story that's timelier than ever breaking down. So have you got some time to talk?

Why Would You Want To Remove A Tree?
Trees Outgrow Their Area
Having trees close to your house presents a real "catch 22" situation. On one hand, the shade that trees provide lowers cooling costs in the summer and provides a buffer from winter wind. On the other hand, the reduction in sunlight can contribute to mold and rotten wood, causing maintenance costs to increase (this is covered in more detail in the maintenance section below). Trees too close to houses can also allow unwanted pests like squirrels and mice to enter the attic. Sometimes when a tree is too close to a house, we can simply trim or prune the tree limbs away from the house, but if many limbs need to be removed, it can cause the tree to no longer be aesthetically pleasing. In that case, it may be better to remove the tree and plant another more compact growing tree or simply choose a more suitable location.
I don't know many people who like to clean gutters. I actually could start a gutter cleaning business with the number of calls I get looking for a good cheap gutter cleaner. Everyone wants a cheap gutter cleaner, but all the cheap ones I know aren't insured and therefore I refuse to refer them out. Unfortunately, clogged gutters are worse than not having gutters at all. Clogged downspouts cause the water to overflow onto the face(fascia) boards and water trapped behind the gutters causes them to rot. So that "leaves" (pun intended) us to install a gutter cap like LeafGuard. Otherwise clean them yearly after all leaves have fallen, and if you get fed up with that - we are tree removal specialists!
Tree Pruning & Trimming For Canton Homes
Removing hazardous dead tree limbs can help to prevent property damage, prevent physical injury, and help to promote new tree growth - all while increasing the aesthetic appeal to your yard! In addition to this, proper tree pruning also helps to improve your line of sight for safety reasons, curb appeal, and help to reduce the clutter or mildew build up among your shingles. Trimming your branches closest to your house also prevents those pesky critters such as squirrels or mice from getting into your home. While we don't offer pest control services, we do remove the tree limbs that squirrels will use to enter into your home!
So Which Sort Of Trimming/Pruning is Right For You?
Raising The Canopy
This type of tree trimming is where only the lower limbs on a tree are removed. This is the most popular type of pruning. The after effect is increased curb appeal. Look, honey, we have a front door, landscaping and a bay window!
Crown or Canopy Reduction
Canopy reduction occurs where a tree has outgrown its environment and cannot continue to grow upward. This is most often due to interference with overhead utility lines and is best done as part of a maintenance program where a small portion is removed each year (always less than 25%).

Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity of Gilgit Baltistan Climate is not a stationary phenomenon, it varies from time to time. It is a product of weather which always experiences variations over space and time. Climate change is resulting from a growing concentration of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and uses of fossil fuels and other anthropogenic activities has become a major worldwide concern. Anthropogenic activities affect the atmosphere and climate in the course of air pollution of greenhouse gases and aerosol, particulate matter, and through land changing.
Anthropogenic emissions of GHFs like CO2, CH4, (CFCs) and nitrous oxide have has led to increases in their atmospheric concentration and cause warming of the lower atmosphere The Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) of Pakistan formerly known as Northern Areas (NA) of Pakistan has a unique and vital role in sustainable development of Pakistan. Nature has gifted this area with high mountainous ranges, massive glaciers, glorious rivers and splendid valleys. Gilgit-Baltistan serves as a major water catchment for the Indus River Basin (IRB) upon which majority part of Pakistan depends for hydroelectrically and for irrigation proposes.
Gilgit-Baltistan is rich for biological diversity. The high mountains are behaving like resistance to the monsoon rains to reach in GB. That’s why most of the places in GB receive less rainfall and are fall cold desert. Climate changes and its impact on biodiversity is currently an important issue of whole world. In Gilgit-Baltistan, some NGOs like World Wild Fund (WWF) has been struggling to protect and conserve biological resources of the GB, and are wishing to implement the adaptation and mitigation strategies for the Gilgit-Baltistan.
Like other mountainous area of the world, climate changing is also taking place in Mountainous areas of Pakistan such as in Gilgit-Baltistan. Climate change is posing serious threats to the fragile ecosystems and poor communities. All most all the natural ecosystems are vulnerable to climate change in GB. The rapidly melting of glaciers causes habitat loss of many species and it causes damage in migratory routs of many migratory species. In Gilgit-Baltistan the climate stations in Gilgit, Skardu, Gupis and Bunji show increase in the total temperature in last two decades from 1980 to 2006 which has been observed increasing by 0. 40 C per decades It was discovered that change in climate caused flash floods and river bank erosion in Skardu district GB. The flash floods emanating from glacial melting and leading to river bank which causes erosion and flooding of fields. The impact of climate change is expected to increase in future. Most of the species are moving towards poles and to higher elevations. Functionalist Perspective:- Whether they are looking at a social system or an ecosystem, functionalists examine the entire system and its components.
Where are environmental problems likely to arise? Functionalists would answer that problems develop from the system itself. According to functional perspective every problem develop from the system itself just as same as elaborated in the above example that climate change is a natural problem and has impact on whole system in surrounding environment, either social or ecosystem. This all causes destabilizing conditions in our environment. Human activities have become a dominant influence on the Earth’s climate and ecosystem.
Biologists contend that the impact of any human group on the environment is the product of three different factors. First is the population, second is the average person’s consumption of resources or level of affluence, third is the amount of damage caused by technology. Associate hazards with climate change in Gilgit-Baltistan are loss of habitat, species extinction, less grasses in pasture, pest attacks, increased frequency of glacial melting, high turbid water, cold spell, GLOF, and destruction of water bank infrastructure are common ideals of the communities Solutions:-
Communities of GB are prone and poor, they are unable to response such massive destructive events caused by climate change such as floods and droughts. They need long term projects for their capacity building and preparedness. There should be long term projects or community based disaster risk management, adaptations and mitigation enhancing activities to save life livelihoods, ecosystems, biodiversity and infrastructure of Gilgit-Baltistan.

A fantastic 25% off during the rest of August and while supplies last!
A brand new yarn from Noro.
Ito is 100% wool and looks quite reminiscent of their standard Kuryeon. The yarn is a bit softer right away as some merino is spun in, and as is the case with most of Noro's yarns, once it is washed it softens up amazingly.
What makes this yarn unique is it is 437 yards (400m)/ 200g of Noro's traditionally looooong color runs, in vibrant tones. Truly deliciously gorgeous.
We brought in two colorways.
Labyrinth is a wonderfu blend of what I think of as landscape colors. There are lots of varying greens (that is what I see as predominant) mixing with blues with some rose and wine and gold as well.
Cabaret has a lot of purples to it (as its main tone), as well as some blues and greens and a splash of orange. It is a cool mix overall -- evoking a nighttime dance party.
