For those who look at the many serious calamities that are now occurring upon our Mother Earth, with eyes unblinded by denial, agendas, or confusion, there is no other word to utilize to describe what is occurring: Ndoki Malo. As we continue to watch with horror, anger, and profound concern the losing struggle to contain the Fukushima nuclear disaster, we witness an Ndoki who has gotten completely out of the control of its "handlers". Something has been 'created' that cannot be contained. Not even the most powerful 121,000 brujos (witchdoctors) could bring this under control. It is a horrific case of an Ndoki running wild and ultimately ingesting those that created it.
Radioactive materials have, since beyond Ancient Times, been contained by our Mother Earth, and at a certain point Mother Earth's climates, weather patterns and the delicate balance of many Spirits (elements) allowed plants, animals and humans to thrive. This delicate balance of Spirits allowed a continual renewal to occur upon Mother Earth's surface as generation followed generation. Although humans did come to mine out iron, copper and other valuable metals and minerals, which in turn came to be abused, misused and became environmental hazards to all plants, animals and people, this went to a totally different level when a small number of extremely psychopathic and arrogant individuals removed deadly radioactive substances from the internal organs of Mother Earth, had the short sighted greed to refine them and utilize them to destroy other human beings and ecosystems, as well as to generate vast amounts of energy that just contributed to speeding up the ability of people to develop more pollution and toxicity. This was termed "progression", however at a cost to all the Earth and her many people (plants, animals and humans). The removal of these extremely powerful Spirits (Uranium, Plutonium, etc) from Mother Earth, by people who were and continue to be ignorant of higher Spiritual Principles, led to the releasing of an Ndoki Malo upon the Earth, as never seen before by any of us.
As Brujos understand, Ndoki Malo is not easily controlled and will, eventually consume the one who released it, but sometimes not before consuming innocent family members first. With this understanding and principle in mind, we must look honestly at this nuclear catastrophy and the Spiritual implications as well as the accumulating health implications. The desire for power over superseded common sense and natural senses of self-preservation, and this desire, greed and arrogance continues unchecked in spite of all evidence that this obsession with power over will lead to total annihilation, not only of those culpable for the many abuses of power over but for all those innocent people who are powerless at the whim of these maniacs. There is nothing "natural" about this disaster, and nothing "natural" about consciously removing these highly destructive elements from the depths of Mother Earth and thinking that they will ultimately be controlled.
Although this arrogance believes that it "creates and destroys" in fact it is only Misterio that creates and destroys, and this is a case where a Spirit has been released that is not stoppable, not controllable and its self-designated "handlers" cannot even tell themselves the horrible truth about what has occurred. They continue to attempt to contain water in a basket, the water now being the ocean water, the basket being a broken nuclear power plant, whose ultimate meltdown is occurring and was obviously going to occur from the first viewing of the exploded power plant. Broken walls cannot possibly contain water.
Odu speaks of the chirp of the death beetle who sounds its chirp when death is near. When we think back to just last year we saw the rupturing of one of Mother Earth's blood vessels, and unimaginable gallons spilling into the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico day after day, week after week and even month after month. Chemicals were sprayed into the Gulf which effectively made the oil invisible, and unfortunately it seems these days, what is out of sight, is out of mind. The effective chirping of the death beetle was silenced, ignored and business continued as usual. Less than a year later, another disaster associated with the ABUSE OF POWER, or POWER OVER and with the OCEAN, has occurred and this time the death beetle chirped again, loudly, and for those of us who live at a distance from this death zone, this death beetle's chirping has alerted us to prepare for what may well escalate to a worse case scenario of nuclear fallout in our wind, rains, soils, plants, animals, children, elders, and ourselves for decades, centuries even, to come. For those who live in close proximity there was no warning as Kalunga came ashore, powered by the shaking of Tiembla Tierra within her depths. She came ashore with an evident rage, destroying, with her face of fury, with her energy of destruction, reminding us all that she is more powerful than us, and she broke the man made structure that was containing this Ndoki, and out that Ndoki is spewing, pooling and puddling, leaking and gassing out, already spreading globally.
In our divination about this disaster, several important points have come forth.
Those that perpetrated this crime against humanity (past and present) are operating under a false sense of superiority, entitlement, and authority which, Spiritually they completely lack. They are operating "without licensia" and attempting to "play god and king", wrapped up in an ultra-hatred for Nsambi (Great Mystery).
In a sense it is an entrapment created by those who appointed themselves writers of laws (rules and regulations). The regulators of this industry in particular have created a trap that now entraps us all, including them. It is irrelevant what weapons they possess, because in this situation those weapons are useless. These people made themselves the "authority (king)" without the spiritual recognition of Nsambia and the Mpungos. These are the same people with the same consciousness who massacred the true authorities upon the Earth (Indigenous Traditions and Indigenous Ancestors). These self-appointed rulers, authorities, regulators, (psychopaths) have, without a doubt, a massive spiritual void within themselves which is slowly consuming them like a cancer and has been for thousands of years.
The Misterio who lives at the very depths of the Ocean is who has awakened at this time and has triggered this disaster, this is a Misterio known only to the Misterios of Life itself, but we know that it does not tolerate arrogance, especially the arrogance that pretends to be more powerful than Earth and her Cosmic Womb and the Mpungos of Creation themselves!
The spiritual void of these "few" and an obsessive greed to fill this void with power over, is robbing the Earth of clean, healthy food, clean water, and most importantly of the natural blessings that are upon her. It is important to remember that the nuclear disaster is a culmination of many abusive behaviors from the creation of GMOs in the food supply, factory farming, industrial waste thrown into soil, rivers, air, and ocean, weapons of mass pollution, mining, and so much more. We cannot see it in isolation from everything else, and we must see its spewing as the ramification of this behavior, as this disaster was inevitable, it was going to happen somewhere sooner or later.
We all come from the Oceans, our bodies still reflect the balance of the salts and minerals of the Oceans. The Oceans have given us life, and are the sources of great richness and nutrition upon the Earth. It is an interesting point that plants, such as seaweed from the ocean can actually help us to overcome radiation exposure. Nonetheless we cannot lose sight of the fact that the Ocean came upon the Land, and lanced open this "boil, infection, abscess" which is now erupting. And we know that the Ocean comes to destroy within the process of renewal but we do not know if we will be present for the renewal process that follows the destruction. This Earth took billions of years in her evolution to be able to support life, and then millions more to be able to support this human experience which is so full of natural ache (blessings) which have been so abused, misused, and exploited. In only the last 500 years so much destruction of our Mother has taken place that she is virtually unrecognizable. The Earth herself cannot be destroyed but our human experience can. We need to understand that this is an unforgivable crime that is taking place. As spiritual beings having a human experience, there is a line that cannot be crossed, when you are activating and awakening an Ndoki that you have no knowledge and control of how to stop it. That line has been crossed, irreversibly. There is no return.
This disaster is also pointing to generations of neglect of the Ancestors and Indigenous traditions. We need to remember that these self-appointed authorities have been caught red handed in terms of stealing Spiritual Traditions (Stolen Legacy). However they failed to understand the legacy they stole, and so it has lead to this. Rather than honestly admitting that they have lost control, the hypocrisy and double-talk continues, as they seem suicidal in their obsession to continue the abusive behavior right up to the very end. The blood that they drink is the blood that will consume them. The Medicine that they stole from our Indigenous Traditions will consume them. They are masters of hiding but have run out of hiding places. No one can hide from nuclear fall out.
They have built their underground cities to hide in, forgetting that people cannot hide from the Sun. People get sick, diseased and die when removed from the Sun. We remember that the Taino in the Myth had to leave out of the Cave to continue evolution. There is no going back underground. This is an extreme form of denial, and a tremendous waste of resources.
One foot stands in the house, the other in the grave. This is a very serious situation that is at the threshold of life and death. Choices are critical for us all, collectively and individually. This is not a situation to be complacent and feel that one is okay because one is at a distance, for this is and will affect us globally. Illness will, without a doubt, come from this, especially to those who are unprepared and already in a weakened state of mind, body and Spirit. The weakened immune system is especially vulnerable. Take precautionary measures to optimize ones health and immune system. Do the research beyond the idiot box as to what are the best foods, minerals, and supplements to take for protection against radiation. Above all else turn to Ancestors for strength, wisdom and protection, and for those of us who have Nkisi, it is time to strengthen our practices.
Uphold that which Holds You Up!

I've had really good luck with my pink tongues until just now...i've had them since late 2002 (they were babies) and they have grown and flourished. I house them together in a 40 xtra tall with a misting system and feed them everyday 2+ snails and rarely dog food or chicken or worms. The past 2 weeks I've noticed competition around the food plate when there is certainly enough for both of them. this does not happen at every feeding, but typically my "female" drives the male off nutil she gets a mouthful, then he goes and gets his. He seems to be a little lighter on the weight size than the female so im going to seperate them. heres the question, despite what seems to be hemipenal buldging on the sides directly behind the hind legs is it possible/likely that I do not actually have a pair or do you think its just simple squabbling and I should seperate them until breeding time in a few years? Anyone else had any experience with them? I thought I was doing very well with them, and they still are very active, have nice weight and appear heathly. I just fear this new activity.

This is the face after her first scrambled egg. She thought it was wonderful. She fed herself. 8 1/2 months old and knows she rules the house.
Last night I decided there was no reason why I couldn't be a cutup while TV was on. I have this portable adjustable table I bought for $30 from Menards. I normally keep it beside the sewing cabinet for the pressing board and iron and a small trimming mat. I readjusted it and brought it out to my chair in the living room with a stack of smaller scraps from a laundry basket from the sewing room. I cut for 2 hours last night and an hour this morning.
A 2.5 inch strip then can be cut into 1 inch and 1.5 inch strips for string piecing or courthouse steps, log cabin blocks, or small 9 patches or 4 patches.
Here are the 1.5 strips. Just think of using all the small stuff for utility quilts or charity quilts. Hey you paid for it why not use it.
a 1 inch strip and a 2.5 inch square. Not much waste then. I did get to watch the shows I wanted. This morning I need to move the table back in the sewing room, but it is light weight and easy to move again when I need it.
This is getting fuller and when I want to make a split 9 patch or disappearing 9 patch the pieces are cut. There is plenty more to cut and it will be ready when I need to be distracted and do easy sewing. Chris

Refuge statement on SafeLives report
Refuge responds to the Report ‘Understanding Court Support For Victims Of Domestic Abuse’ commissioned by Nicole Jacobs and carried out by SafeLives.
Ruth Davison, Refuge CEO said:
‘It is disappointing but not surprising to find the vast majority of domestic abuse survivors are not receiving the specialist support they need in the court system and are finding the court process traumatic.
The report published today by SafeLives and commissioned by the Domestic Abuse Commissioner shows that 89% of domestic abuse victims didn’t get any support through the family courts.
Specialist domestic abuse services have been decimated by funding cuts over the past decade, leaving many women stranded without recourse to the support they need to access justice and protection. This situation has been compounded by the pandemic, which has caused severe court delays and backlogs which we know have been growing by around 1,000 cases a month leaving many survivors in limbo, unable to progress with their lives and fearing for their own and their children’s safety.
Refuge’s experiences chime with the findings from this report – we hear too often that the courts, and in particular the family courts, are failing to offer appropriate support to survivors and that court professionals often do not understand domestic abuse. We know that when survivors are accompanied in the criminal justice system by specialist trained Independent Domestic Abuse Advisors (IDVAs) they feel more supported and in control and are much less likely to withdraw from the court process. For women who have had control taken away from their lives due to domestic abuse, feeling unsupported, unheard and misrepresented in the court system is disempowering and re-traumatising. Specialist support can make all the difference – it is life-changing support which needs to be properly funded and offered to all survivors.
Refuge supports calls for a sustainable long-term funding model, rather than ad-hoc, short-term funding pots to ensure the full range of services including IDVA support are available to survivors going through the traumatic family and criminal justice system.
The upcoming Violence Against Women and Girls strategy and Victims Bill provides a critical opportunity for the government to ensure all survivors receive the support they need. For domestic abuse survivors, the court process is an extremely stressful and isolating time and providing specialist support within the court system is vital in ensuring women feel confident in the court process and are empowered to access justice and protection.
Refuge is also calling for urgent action to manage case backlogs including opening more courts and ensuring that funding is provided to enable existing courts to operate at maximum capacity beyond this year, so that survivors receive the justice they deserve
For more information contact email@example.com.
Refuge supports more than 7,000 women and children on any given day, and runs the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, which is the gateway to accessing specialist support across the country. More than one in four women in England and Wales experiences domestic abuse at some point in their lifetime, and two women a week are killed by a current or former partner.

As a REIT investor, I look out for REITs that can grow their distributions per unit (DPU) sustainably. Such growth is excellent for long-term income investors who can then reap the benefits from a bigger yield.
As such, I thought I would highlight three ways that REITs can improve their DPU, increasing unitholder value in the process.
Step-up rental contracts
REITs can increase their rental income by signing step-up lease agreements with tenants. These contracts stipulate that the rental rate will increase at pre-determined points in the future.
Step-up contracts are usually seen in commercial or industrial properties. This type of lease gives the REIT an opportunity for increased rental income in the future, without having to renegotiate a new contract with the tenant.
Increasing their gross floor area
REIT managers can also enhance the property yield by increasing the property’s gross floor area (GFA), thereby increasing the net lettable area. REIT managers achieve this by upgrading their assets through asset enhancement initiatives (AEI).
By increasing the net lettable area, REITs can increase the income generated by their assets.
Converting low yield space into higher yield space
Finally, a REIT can grow its rental income organically is by increasing the yield on its current lettable area. This can be done by improving their properties through AEI or by changing the tenant mix.
REITs can add value to tenants by enhancing their property through renovations and upgrading of their facility. Retail REITs, for instance, constantly upgrade their property to attract shoppers to their malls. This has the effect of increasing the value of their shopping space to their tenants and consequently, raise the rental rates for the REIT.
REITs can also bring in new tenants that can pay higher rents as compared to the previous tenants.
The Foolish takeaway
As REIT investors, looking out for REITs that employ these three strategies may be a good place to start. However, besides these growth strategies, there are other aspects of a REIT to consider, like its debt profile, property portfolio and reliability of management. We should inspect each of these elements before making a holistic investment decision.

Currently one of the niece's favourite books: I Want My Hat Back, written in 2011 by Jon Klassen. Even at a year-and-a-half, she's developed an appreciation for its rather black humour... must be the influence of her aunts! I Want My Hat Back is a fun picture book for young kids; come for the mystery of the bear's missing chapeau, stay for the dark twist at the end.
I first encountered Master Skylark as a child, reading a book of short stories which contained an exerpt from John Bennett's 1897 children's novel. The chapter featured was the one in which Nick and the St. Paul's boys' choir sing for Queen Elizabeth I on Christmas morning. I was particularly struck by the words spoken by Queen Bess to her court in this portion after Nick rebukes her mockery of him, stating that a boy who loves his mother will become a man who loves his country (M.S.- A Summary: Part II) This stuck in my head but I found the scene a little unsatisfying because reading the chapter by itself did not give me any kind of connection to the characters contained in it. It was several years later that I tracked down the book and read it in its entirety, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The story is a compelling one for children; the tale of a young boy who makes a mistake and must face serious consequences for it. Treated harshly by his father, Nick takes up with a traveling band of players and temporarily has his head turned by the attention and florid praise which is heaped upon him for his singing. He soon learns, however, that fancy clothes and eloquent words can hide hide the soul of a blackguard. Nick is kidnapped and removed far from his family for almost a year. The fact that he is not ill-treated by Gaston Carew does not change the fact that the man has done a terrible, despicable thing. Nick is, as Queen Bess described him, stubborn and loyal, holding fast to his determination to return to his home- and mother- in Stratford. Luxurious clothes, flattery, and opportunities which he would not have had at home do not shake his determination to return there. While he eventually complies with Carew's demands- working at the theater and performing with the boys' choir- he never stops looking for an opportunity to escape despite the fact that he actually enjoys his vocal training at St. Paul's.
Gaston Carew is a complex villain, not entirely without virtues. By taking Nick from his home and refusing to release him, he has done a wicked, inexcusable thing- and he knows it. He is actually quite fond of Nick as well as in awe of his talent, and his rather rusty conscience tortures him by time over what he has done. Carew attemps to salve his conscience by purchasing fine clothes and other luxuries for Nick and promising himself that he will let the boy go... soon. It is always soon, when Nick has earned him enough money, but that actual day never arrives.
It's not difficult to understand the fear which motivates Carew's villainy. The life of a traveling player is a precarious one, and his is becoming rapidly less profitable. The theater troupe which Gaston works for is being outclassed and outsold by Shakespeare's brilliant work at a rival theater. Carew can see the writing on the wall; he fears poverty and what will happen to his beloved young daughter if something should happen to him- a not unlikely possibility, considering the time period and his lifestyle. Not that understanding Carew's motivations makes his exploitation of Nick's abilities any less despicable. In the end, Carew's personal failings lead to his eventual downfall. It is possible to feel pity for him as, in the shadow of the gallows, he begs Nick to take care of Cecily and almost desperately pleads for the boy to forgive him.
Master Skylark is also an early work of fan fiction about William Shakespeare, who is spoken of often throughout the book though he only physically appears in the last part to aid Nick in his queat to return home.The Shakespeare who aooears in Master Skylark is depicted as a quiet, thinking man who is also kindly and sympathetic. He is presented in contrast with his friend Ben Jonson, who is loud, jolly, and impulsive. In the novel, Shakespeare is a bit of a deus ex machina, rescuing Nick, dealing with his angry father, and providing the two children with Carew's hoarded money to support them comfortably. If I have a criticism of the book, it is this: everything wraps up a little too quickly and neatly. Nick's father turns too rapidly from being a harsh, judgemental man who has disowned his son, to being humble and repentant. We aren't really given a scene which explains this sudden turn in his character. I think that, had we been privy to the heated discussion/argument between Attwood and John Combe which seems to have been instrumental in changing Nick's father's mind, it would have made this transformation a little more believable. As it is, the only hint we have of Attwood's thought process is when he is sitting by the river and mutters, "O Absalom- my son, my son!" These are the words of King David, mourning the son who had sinned against him, but he still loved. Then, after a while, Attwood murmurs only, "My son, my son," suggesting, perhaps, that he is forgetting Nick's supposed sins and remembering only that he is his child. It's not much, though, and I really think a scene where the words of John Combe shock Attwood out of his righteous indignation would have been helpful. All in all though, Master Skylark is a good read, with more thought and depth to it than a lot of childrens literature. It contains moments of fun and levity, but also times of pain and darkness; there is a villain who is capable of kind acts, and a righteous man who is devoid of grace and mercy. In short, despite some flaws, there's a lot of human nature and wisdom to be found in its pages.
As Cecily and Nick wander dazedly down the street away from his home, they suddenly hear a voice calling Nick's name. It is Susanna, William Shakespeare's daughter, and she runs up to the two children saying that her father has been searching for them all the way from London. She draws them into the house where they find Will Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and several other of their literary friends who greet Nick and Cecily joyously, having feared them lost. Will asks after Nick's mother and Nick tells him sorrowfully that he hasn't seen her because his father has disowned him and banned him from their home. Hot-headed Ben Jonson vows to go knock some sense into Simon Attwood but Will discourages this plan, pointing out that it will only cause more trouble and do nothing to reconcile Nick to his family. Johnson suggests that they take the children in, pointing out that Nick would be a valuable addition to the theater. Will asks Nick what he wants and the boy brokenly says that he wants to see his mother. This causes one of the Will's friends- John Combe, a local businessman- to go to the tannery to talk to Nick's father. Their meeting is a long one which apparently becomes heated, because when Combe emerges from the tannery he is dripping with vat liquor. Simon Attwood also exits the building, likewise dripping. He calls after Combe, however, and asks him to shake hands. Combe does so, then walks home with a smile on his face to change into dry clothes. Simon on the other hand, walks to the river and sits there for a long time, wrestling with his thoughts. After hours have passed, Simon gets up and goes straight to William Shakespeare's house, arriving while he and his friends are at dinner.
Nick and Cecily are also there; it is a merry party, but the laughter stops abruptly when Simon is shown in by a servant. The tanner finds himself the recipient of a lot of unfriendly glares. Will coolly asks him his business and Simon brokenly says that he wants his son. He asks Nick to come home- if not for him, then for his mother. Nick's warm heart is quick to forgive but he hesitates, asking his father if he will also make Cecily welcome. Simon agrees, saying that they don't have much but will take in Cecily as family, sharing what they have with her. The mood in the room has lightened considerably with the tanner's obviously humbled and heartfelt behaviour. Will and Ben Jonson confer, and then Shakespeare brings forth two heavy sacks. Will explains that after Gaston Carew was condemned, he met with him as requested. Carew sent his love to Cecily, begged forgiveness once more of Nick, and told Will of a place in his house where he had stowed away a cache of money in case of emergency. One of the bags has Cecily's name on it and the other has Nick's, addressed in Carew's handwriting. There is plenty of money in them to ensure that both the children can be well raised and cared for. A changed man, Simon asks forgiveness of Will, saying that he has often wronged him and Shakespeare warmly invites him to stay for dinner. Simon tells him though that he is going to go to his house and tell his wife that Nick is coming home. He does so, and for the first time in a long time tells her that he loves her. Nick and Cecily stay for a while longer at the dinner, Nick singing for the assembly when urged. Then he and Cecily make their way in the twilight to the Attwood's cottage, where his parents are waiting. At long last, Nick is reunited with his mother: And after a while, "Mother," said he, and took her face between his strong young hands, and looked into her happy eyes, "mother dear, I ha' been to London town; I ha' been to the palace, and I ha' seen the Queen; but, mother," he said, with a little tremble in his voice, for all he smiled so bravely, "I ha' never seen the place where I would rather be than just where thou art, mother dear!"
Will Shakespeare and Nick go to Gaston Carew's house to get Cecily but find the house deserted, the servants fled. They find out that Carew's erstwhile henchman, Gregory Goole, showed up, packed his belongings and left, taking Cecily with him. Nick and Shakespeare spend several days searching London for a sign of Cecily, to no avail. Then, on the third day while Shakespeare is working on his play, Nick catches sight of Goole at a distance. Unable to summon Will, Nick gives chase and eventually catches up with Goole who is dragging a frightened Cecily along with him. Nick confronts Gregory who grabs hold of him and starts dragging him along, too. He creepily seems to have plans to sell the two children. Nick manages to attract the attention of some men passing by, asking them for help. Goole tries to push past the men, saying that he's the children's father but Nick calls him a liar and in the ensuing scuffle, the children get away and Goole flees the scene. Nick and Cecily go to a nearby inn to wait for Will Shakespeare to arrive to get them. Unfortunately, while there they see Gregory Goole enter the building, looking for them. Leading Cecily out of the inn, Nick desperately asks a carrier whom he overheard say he was heading out of town if they can hitch a ride with him. As it turns out, the carrier actually lives close to Stratford and knows Nick's father slightly. He offers to take the children all the way to Stratford once he's delivered his supplies. The two children hop on his wagon, escaping Goole and London.
After a trip to Oxford where Nick puts his voice training to good work, singing for their supper at a local inn, the carrier takes the children on to Stratford. Nick arrives with Cecily at the door of his parents' cottage almost a year after he left for- he thought- a day playing hooky from school. His father comes to the door and Nick greets him joyously. His happiness is not returned. When Nick disappeared, his father searched for him and was told that his son had gone off with a troupe of actors. Assuming Nick went willingly, his father- never a very pleasant person- has become completely embittered. He calls Nick a "stage-playing, vagabond rogue" and orders him from his door. Nick is frozen in shock, unable to move until a frightened Cecily leads him away.
Nick continues to live at Gaston Carew's house in London throughout the winter, continuing to perform with the St Paul's choir and the theater. He is give no further opportunity to escape, being always closely watched by Carew or his assistant, Gregory Goole. Then, one night in April, Carew decides to go out to a pub and he takes Nick with him. Once there Gaston gets involved in throwing dice with a very unsavoury character. They gamble for about an hour and the game becomes so intense that those around them pause their own gambling to watch. Unfortunately, the game starts to go badly for Carew. While this is happening, a man- an actor by his dress- strides into the pub; it is Ben Jonson, playwright and friend of William Shakespeare. Nick's sharp ears hear him say that he's going to meet up with Will. Jonson leaves and Nick, realizing that Carew is completely egrossed in his game, takes the opportunity to slip out of the pub and follow Ben Jonson.
Nick follows Jonson to a place where a group of men are enjoying a meal, in company with Will Shakespeare. Nick asks if he can speak to him and Shakespeare invites hm in. Nick tells his tale to the sympathetic audience and the upshot is that William Shakespeare agrees to take him back to Stratford. Later that night, another player who had been at the pub comes running with news for Shakespeare, and looking for Nick Skylark. It turns out that Gaston Carew accused the man he was dicing with of cheating; they fought and Carew stabbed the fellow, who then dies. Carew has been taken to jail by the watch.
Nick is staying with Shakespeare, who will soon travel to Stratford for the summer. In the meantime, he is working on The Merchant of Venice. An actor from Carew's troupe arrives to say that Carew, who is in Newgate prison, is asking to see Nick. Nick is reluctant to go, but the player urges him to honour the request of a doomed man. Nick agrees and they go to the prison which is a dark and terrible place. Carew, usually so elegant and put together, is disheveled and haggard. He has been condemned to hang, and he pleads with Nick not to hate him. The reason for this is that he wants Nick to promise to take care of Cecily. He tries to tell Nick something about money, but the prisoner in the next cell- who seems crazy- is making such a clamour that Nick can't hear what he's saying. Eventually Carew just asks Nick to get Shakespeare to come and see him. Gaston also tells Nick that he dreamed of him singing as he did when they first met and mourns that he will never hear him again. Moved with pity, Nick tells him that he'll sing for him now and does so, his clear, pure voice ringing through the dark, miserable passages of Newgate. As he leaves, Carew is still pleading for his forgiveness and his promise that he'll see to Cecily.
On Christmas Eve, the St. Paul's boys travel to the Queen's palace, Greenwich House, and spend the night so they'll be there to sing for Elizabeth and her guests in the morning. Two of these guests are the ambassadors from Venice and France. Nick is astonished and intimidated by the opulence of the palace, both excited and nervous about singing before the Queen's court. On Christmas morning, the boys' singing is greeted with great enthusiasm. The piece which brings the house down, however, is a duet sung by Nick and Colley (one of the other choirboys). And when Nick sings his solo part, it is so beautiful that Queen Elizabeth's fan falls from her grasp, forgotten. When the song ends, the Queen turns to the ambassadors: "Chi tace confessa--it is so! There are no songs like English songs--there is no spring like an English spring--there is no land like England, my England!" Afterwards, the delighted monarch calls to have Nick and Colley brought to her. Praising them for their song, she asks the two boys what they would like her to give them. Colley shyly says that he would like to stay at the palace and sing always for Her Majesty. Elizabeth, pleased by this flattering request, decrees that he will become a singing page in her court. She then turns to Nick and asks him what he would have her grant him. Nick tells her that he wants to go home. Finding this answer less flattering, Elizabeth at first mocks the boy, saying that he must think her extremely stingey, or his home must be a very famous place. The court titters at her words but Nick, stung by this mockery of his home, meets the Queen's eyes and tells her that, "I would rather be there than here." The Queen is displeased by Nick's answers and ends up dismissing him, turning back to Colley and saying "Thy comrade hath more wit." Nick answers quietly that Colley has no mother: "I would rather have my mother than his wit." This response brings Elizabeth around sharply:
"Thou art no fool," said she. A little murmur ran through the room. She sat a moment, silent, studying his face. "Or if thou art, upon my word I like the breed. It is a stubborn, froward dog; but Hold-fast is his name. Ay, sirs," she said, and sat up very straight, looking into the faces of her court, "Brag is a good dog, but Hold-fast is better. A lad who loves his mother thus makes a man who loveth his native land--and it's no bad streak in the blood. Master Skylark, thou shalt have thy wish; to London thou shalt go this very night."
Unfortunately for Nick, since everyone thinks that Gaston Carew's house is where he lives, he finds himself returned there which makes Cecily, who is genuinely fond of him, very happy. It also is a relief for Carew, though he suffers another bout of guilt over keeping the boy there when Nick so desperately wants to go home. He manages to overcome this spasm of conscience.
Master Skylark is the 1897 children's book by John Bennett which tells the story of Nick Attwood, a young boy growing up in Stratford in Shakespearean times. Nick lives with his mother, a gentle soul whom he adores, and his father, the town tanner, who treats Nick harshly. Nick is a dutiful son but, after his father forces him to work through a town holiday, he rebelliously decides to skip school and go to a nearby town to watch a troupe of travelling actors. While there, he meets the leader of the actors- Gaston Carew- who, having heard the boy sing, realizes Nick has a voice that can make him a fortune. Carew talks Nick into singing during one of their performances, and he is a smash hit. At first pleased with the praise and attention being heaped upon him, Nick suspects nothing when Carew urges him to spend the night with the troupe, promising to drop him off in Stratford when the actors take to the road the next day. It takes him a while to realize that, on the road, the actors have turned away from the direction of Stratford and are headed for London. Nick protests to Carew who shows another, darker side to his character, frightening the boy into silence as he is essentially kidnapped.
Once in London, Nick finds himself locked in Carew's house as the man tries alternately to cajole and bully him into cooperating with his plans. Also living at the house is Gaston Carew's young daughter, Cecily. She is a sweet girl who worships her dashing father and can't understand why Nick doesn't. Nick tells her that he wants to go home to his mother. Cecily trustingly asks her father if he'll take Nick back to Stratford and Carew lies, telling her that of course he will... soon. Carew dresses Nick in fine clothes and starts taking him to work at the theater he's affiliated with. This theater is struggling because crowds are flocking to William Shakespeare's plays, at the brilliant playwright's theater across town. This is one reason why Carew is so desperate to keep Nick; he knows that they need a new draw or soon they'll have no audience. He also changes Nick's name from Attwood to Skylark.
Carew arranges an audition for Nick with the St. Paul's boy choir. The gruff old choir director is sceptical of the abilities of an untrained country boy, but is blown away by Nick's voice and immediately offers him a spot in the choir. This is a paid position but Nick sees none of his salary, which is pocketed by Carew who, more flush with money than he's been in a while, spends recklessly. He is sometimes stricken with guilt over what he's done to Nick and thinks of sending him home, but always talks himself out of it, reasoning that he needs the extra money to assure Cecily is taken care of, if something should ever happen to him.
Nick is now living in comfort and luxury that he has never before known, and he loves his training at St. Paul's and the camaraderie with the other choir boys. He also likes Cecily quite a bit. But he misses his mother constantly and yearns to return home. All of London is talking of William Shakespeare, whom Nick knows slightly as they are both from Stratford and Shakespeare's wife Anne Hathaway, is a cousin to Nick's mother. Nick thinks that, if he can get to see Shakespeare, he'll help him get back to his home. Watching for an opportunity, one day at the theater when Carew is occupied, Nick slips out of a window and heads for the Thames, hoping to cross and get to the Globe theater. He almost makes it, but is unfortunately caught by Carew's assistant and returned to Gaston, who locks him up again as punishment and afterwards keeps an even closer watch on him. Soon after this, the St. Paul's choir gets news which causes great excitement: they've been commissioned to sing before Queen Elizabeth I and her court on Christmas Day!
OK, so this image isn't technically from a book, but from a story within a book: the fairy tale Snow White and Rose Red in Grimm's Fairy Tales (it's tale #161). In it, Snow White & Rose Red are two sisters living in a humble cabin in the woods with their widowed mother. One cold winter night, there is a knock on the door and Rose Red opens it to find a bear standing there. She is terrified, but the bear- who talks!- assures her that he means no harm: he just wants to come in and get warm. They take pity on him and let him lay beside the fire and the girls, losing their fear of him, brush the snow off his fur and eventually start to play with him. The bear returns to the woods in the morning but comes back to the cabin every night during the winter, he and Snow White and Rose Red becoming good friends. When the winter is over, the bear bids them farewell, telling them that he must go to protect his treasure from evil dwarfs who will be leaving their caves after the cold weather and seeking to take it. During the summer, Snow White & Rose Red are gathering firewood for their mother and happen upon a dwarf who has his beard caught in a tree he cut down. Catching sight of the girls, he angrily demands that they help him. They try but can't get his beard free. Rose Red offers to run and get help, but the dwarf shouts angrily that he doesn't want any other people around. Snow White pulls out her sewing scissors and cuts the end off of his beard, freeing him. Instead of being grateful, the dwarf rages at them for cutting his "beautiful beard" and flounces off carrying a sack of gold which he had hidden in the bushes. Who is this hostile dwarf? Where did he get the gold? Do Snow White & Rose Red meet up with him again? And what has happened to their friend, the kindly talking bear? If you read Grimm's Fairy Tales as a child, you already know. If not well, there's no time like the present.
Mother Carey's Chickens was written by Kate Douglas Wiggin in 1911. She authored many books for children, the most well-known of which is probably her Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm which she wrote in 1903. Mother Carey's Chickens follows the adventures- and misadventures- of the Carey family as, after the sudden death of their father, they move to a house in rural Maine where it is much cheaper to live. This part of the story is at least partly autobiographical; when Wiggin was quite young her family lived in Philadelphia. After the death of her father however, Kate's mother moved her family to rural Maine to live.
The name "Mother Carey's Chickens" is a pun on the Carey family name, and is also the folk name for the seabird, the storm petrel. According to folklore, Mother Carey was a sea witch who controlled the petrels, which were said to portend bad weather and marine disaster. Mother Carey appears in numerous poems and stories in which she frequently is portrayed as a wrecker of ships. In Charles Kingsley's 1863 book The Water Babies however, which is frequently referenced in Mother Carey's Chickens, Mother Carey is a fairy.
Kate Douglas Wiggin
Some people complain that the Carey family is unbelievably nice, unselfish, and brave in the face of adversity. There is a kernel of truth in this criticism; the Careys behave with unnatural nobility and patience in the face of their financial ruin. But there's a reason for this: Wiggin is providing a picture of an ideal family's response to tragedy and crises- they pull together, support and rely on each other. The Careys are in this way contrasted with two other rather failed family units: the Lords and the Hamiltons who, for different reasons and in different ways have become estranged and disfunctional. The Hamiltons are separated by distance and differing ambitions, while Mr. Lord's self-absorption and callous disregard for the emotional needs of his children has left them even more estranged than the Hamiltons, though they still live in the same house together.
In any case, the Careys are saved from being nauseatingly sweet by the fact that they possess active sense of humours, tempers, and various character flaws which they generally manage to overcome with the guidance of wise and patient Mother Carey. One joke which carries throughout the book is the saga of the hideous sculpture which was given to the family by their wealthy, well-meaning but taste-challenged aunt. This garish image of a young boy and a washtub is entitled "You Dirty Boy" and it is hated by the entire family. They can't get rid of it without offending their aged relative, however, so the children contrive at numerous "accidents" in an attempt to dispose of it. Unfortunately, the sculpture has more lives than the proverbial cat and keeps emerging unscathed, to the mystification and frustration of the Carey children.
Mother Carey's Chickens was adapted and made into a play in 1917 and this play was in turn made into a movie in 1938. I haven't seen it, but the plot summary which I read of it indicates that the story told in the film bears little resemblance to the book's plot. In 1963, Disney produced a musical film based on Mother Carey's Chickens entitled Summer Magic. It starred Hayley Mills, Dorothy McGuire, and Burl Ives. I have seen this- saw it before I read the book, in fact. It's... not the worst thing I've ever seen. A lot of characters have been cut out- including one of the Carey children- and the plot somewhat changed, though not nearly as much as in the 1938 film. On the plus side, I love Burl Ives in everything. I guess what I'm saying is that Summer Magic is watchable, but the book is a lot better.
Mother Carey's Chickens is a novel written in 1911 by Kate Douglass Wiggin. It is set a few years before that, in the 1890's. At the beginning of the book, "Mother" Carey is leaving her flock- children Nancy, Gilbert, Kitty, and Peter- to go and care for their father, a naval officer who, while in a distant port, has been stricken with typhoid. After some time has passed, the children get the devastating news that their father has died. Grief-stricken herself, Mrs. Carey returns home to comfort her children and figure out what they're going to do. While not rich, the Carey family has been living very comfortably in the city, with a cook and housemaid and the children in private schools. With the loss of her husband, however, Mother Carey will only have a small income from his pension. Adding to their financial difficulties is the fact that, before his illness, Carey had lent his brother a lot of money for a financial scheme which subsequently went belly up. The brother has had a nervous breakdown and there is no way that he's going to be able to pay the family back the money he owes them. The Careys can no longer afford the life that they've been living.
They have to let the servants go and, once the current term is over, there will be no more private schools. Even with these economies, it becomes evident that the family will not be able to afford to keep their house in the city. It is at this juncture that 15 year old Nancy remembers a holiday trip the family took to Maine when Peter was a baby. While traveling around, they stopped for a picnic lunch in the small town of Beulah, near a pretty property with a delightful yellow house which appeared to be completely unoccupied. Their father had loved the place on sight and, thinking of him and the house, she suggests that they investigate as to whether or not their dream home is still unoccupied. Remembering that time nostalgically, Mother Carey agrees, reasoning that it would be a lot cheaper living in rural Maine. Acknowledging that it's a long shot, they still send Gilly, who is 14, to Beulah by train to check on the availability of the yellow house. As it turns out, the house is still empty due to the fact that it belongs to Lemuel Hamilton, an American consul assigned to Germany. It was his grandmother's house until the time of her death, and has been empty since except for when his sons were in college and used it occasionally as a party house. Now that they are adults and have jobs- one in Texas and one in China- no one uses the place but Mr. Hamilton won't sell it, remembering the happy times he spent there as a boy. The caretakers of the house are sure that Mr. Hamilton will be glad to have the house lived in and cared for and offer it for a very reasonable rent, basically just enough to pay the taxes on the property. And so the Careys pack up and move to Maine.
To the children's dismay, they find out that their snobbish cousin Julia will be coming with them to Maine. The daughter of their uncle who has been financially ruined- and ruined them along with him- she is used to a much more luxurious life than her cousins and has always put on airs around them. However, with her father nearly bankrupt and totally bedridden, the decision is made to send Julia to live with the Careys in Maine. This leads to some tension within the family. Despite their troubles, the Careys are a plucky bunch who meet the challenges they face bravely, if not always cheerfully. They soon find their feet in Beulah and become an important part of the community there, having a lasting influence on the people of the town as well as others far away, like Mr. Hamilton in Germany. Led wisely and compassionately by Mother Carey, her "chickens" thrive and mature as they deal with the sorrows and joys which mark their new life in Beulah.

In a ceremony held on Friday at the Port of Los Angeles, television stars and show hosts united as godparents and officially named Discovery Princess. The godparents included fashion designer Randy Fenoli, chef Alex Guarnaschelli, special effects designer and fabricator Adam Savage, and real estate broker and flipper extraordinaire Page Turner.
Standing together at the Retreat Pool on the open deck of Discovery Princess with the ship’s Captain Gennaro Arma, they pronounced: “We name this ship Discovery Princess. May God bless her and all who sail on her.”
They then sent a giant Nebuchadnezzar-size bottle of champagne against the ship for the celebratory smash, officially welcoming Discovery Princess into the fleet of Princess Cruises, the world’s leading international cruise line and leader on the west coast.
The “Discover Our World” themed ceremony blended maritime tradition with contemporary elements, celebrating the cruise line’s exclusive, seven-year Discovery at SEA™ program – bringing the spirit of curiosity and exploration to every cruise through branded experiences like Shark Week at Sea, exclusive shore excursions and onboard activities such as the Camp Discovery youth centers and Stargazing at SEA.
“Today is a celebration to remember as our newest ship, Discovery Princess, is officially named by this talented group of experts and personalities – Randy, Alex, Adam, and Page,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. “We can think of no more fitting godparents to mark this significant milestone.”

Carol Evans was shopping at the Marrero Winn-Dixie when she slipped in a puddle of standing liquid. Ms. Evans brought a lawsuit against Winn-Dixie for her injuries alleging that she slipped in the puddle of liquid in the meat section of the store. The store’s co-director, Mr. Scioneaux, helped Ms. Evans complete an incident report. Subsequently, Mr. Scioneaux successfully tracked down what he believed to be the source of the moisture, a leaking 24-pack of water. He then reviewed surveillance video of the aisle where the incident occurred and saw no evidence of any other injuries. He further testified that the person who had the leaking 24-pack of water in their grocery cart was in the aisle only one minute prior to the accident. Ms. Evans testified that she did not notice any liquid on the floor until after she fell, and further described it as being clear. She also had no way to account for the length of time it had been present, and there were no prior complaints of water before Ms. Evans sustained her injuries. Winn-Dixie filed a motion for summary judgment, asserting that Ms. Evans could not show that Winn-Dixie had actual or constructive notice of the condition prior to her accident, which was required for a successful case. The Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson granted Winn-Dixie’s motion for summary judgment based on Ms. Evan’s failure to prove notice as required. Ms. Evans filed an appeal with the Louisiana Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal.
Merchants are tasked with the duty of keeping their premises in reasonably safe condition. This means that a merchant must exercise reasonable care in keeping aisles, passageways, and floors free from any hazardous conditions that could reasonably cause injury. A plaintiff who sustains injuries while lawfully on the merchant’s premises must prove:  the condition created an unreasonable risk of harm that was reasonably foreseeable;  the merchant was aware of the condition that caused the damage, through either actual or constructive notice, prior to the injury; and  the merchant failed to exercise reasonable care to remedy the condition. See La. R.S. 9:2800.6. To succeed under a theory of constructive notice, a plaintiff must show that the hazardous condition existed for a period of time that it would have been discovered if the merchant exercised reasonable care. See Trench v. Winn-Dixie Montgomery LLC, 150 So.3d 472,475 (La. Ct. App. 2014). A plaintiff must present “positive evidence” of the existence of the condition prior to the accident. For employee presence to constitute constructive notice, a plaintiff must show that an employee either knew or should have known of the condition. The burden of presenting solid evidence in these cases is high; a plaintiff cannot successfully bring a slip and fall case based on speculation.
The Court of Appeal agreed with the Trial Court that Winn-Dixie did not have actual or constructive notice of the standing liquid prior to Ms. Evans’ accident. There was no proof offered that Winn-Dixie had actual knowledge. There was no positive evidence that the liquid had been on the floor for a specific period of time which would require Winn-Dixie to discover the liquid in the exercise of reasonable care. From the facts, it appeared the liquid was on the floor for only a minute and a half prior to the incident. In fact, video surveillance showed Ms. Evans in the spot where she fell two minutes before the incident, and she does not appear to notice any water on the floor. Ms. Evans simply did not meet her burden of proving that Winn-Dixie had any notice or should have had any notice of water on the floor. The Court of Appeal affirmed the Trial Court’s grant of summary judgment.
Ms. Evans was unable to satisfy all the elements of a negligence claim and therefore had no case at all. Before bringing a slip and fall lawsuit against a merchant, it is advisable to consult the best lawyer to determine if you can produce all the necessary evidence. Liability on merchants is not automatic and only a good attorney can properly evaluate the strength of your case.

In such a case the Hall effect sensor is mounted in the gap in magnetic core around the current conductor. Direct current DC transformers[ edit ] Hall effect sensors may be utilized for contactless measurements of DC current in current transformers.

Exclusive: Clarkson Tells Us Why She's Not 'an A--hole' Like Kanye
"I have friends who will tell me when I'm acting like an a--hole and I don't think he has anyone to tell him when he's acting like an a--hole," Clarkson bluntly told PopEater.
The 'Idol' champ wrote a scathing open letter to Kanye in her blog this week saying, "I've seen you do some pretty shifty things but you just keep amazing me with your tactless a--hole ways. It's absolutely fascinating how much I don't like you."
Fellow diva Miley Cyrus was more diplomatic in her sweet-as-pie Southern way when posed with the Kanye question. "I don't know if people will forgive him. I really don't. It is a matter of respect," she told PopEater.

In yesterday’s post I referred to an article by Catholic author George Weigel, who said that he is all for the modern version of the Mass, but criticizes the Vatican for the heavy-handed way they put the kibosh on the traditional Latin version. His article, Liberal Authoritarianism and the Traditional Latin Mass, put a name to a phenomenon that goes beyond ecclesiastical disputes: Liberal Authoritarianism.
Progressive Catholicism has typically been characterized by an authoritarian streak—a tendency to bullying and intimidation that certainly bespeaks impatience and may suggest a lack of confidence in its proposals and arguments. In the present pontificate, that has led to an extreme notion of papal authority that might make Pope Pius IX blush.
Liberal Catholics used to downplay papal authority, but now that one of their own, seemingly, is in power, they demand obedience. Of course, conservative Catholics used to insist on papal authority above all, but now that they have a more liberal pontiff, they are looking for loopholes. So that’s probably just the inevitable nature of ecclesiastical politics. But Weigel’s reference to progressives having “an authoritarian streak–a tendency to bullying and intimidation” sounds familiar and has a broader application.
Liberals used to have the reputation of advocating diversity, tolerance, and letting people do what they want, a “live and let live” attitude and championing civil liberties, with an emphasis on liberty. In my academic world, liberalism stood for the “free speech movement” on campus–including the freedom to use obscenity and other forbidden words–as well as “sexual freedom” and the ability of students who design their own curriculum. In politics, liberals promoted freedom in the Civil Rights movement, sent military aid and sometimes even troops to other countries “fighting for freedom” in the Cold War, and eventually pushed for “free trade” globally.
We conservatives certainly had a libertarian streak and agreed with much of that, but we often spoke of “ordered liberty,” not wanting to throw out morality, tradition, and the rule of law.
But now the progressives in academia are enforcing speech codes, policing sexual relations, and mandating courses and workshops that can seem like political indoctrination.
In politics, progressives seem pre-occupied with making people do things. Legalizing abortion is not enough, taxpayers must pay for abortions. Pro-life pregnancy centers must advertise for abortionists. Legalizing homosexuality is not enough, nor is legalizing same-sex marriage. Everyone must approve of it.
The liberal states have certainly taken the most authoritarian line in dealing with the COVID pandemic: Children must not go to school. Businesses are not allowed to open. Churches are forbidden from meeting. You must wear a mask at all times, even outdoors. You must stay at least six feet away from other people.
Even after the pandemic is on the decline, some leaders–virtually all of them Democrats–want to keep up the restrictions. There is, though, a hesitancy to mandate vaccinations. While the media focuses on Trump supporters and evangelical Christians are being the main COVID and vaccine deniers, Black Americans are similarly vaccine hesitant, at about the same rate, with 28% of white Republicans, 25% of African-Americans, and a whopping 37% of Hispanics saying they will never get the shot. (Hispanics are another Democratic constituency, for now, but once again they show how they may be Republicans at heart.)
Now that we are experiencing another surge of COVID infections, the impulse of many Democratic governors is to clamp down again, while Republican governors want their states to stay open. With about 60% of American adults fully vaccinated, including 80% of seniors who are most in danger of the disease, no one seems to be making the libertarian case that now we should just let people live according to their decisions, with the unvaccinated accepting their risk as they have chosen to do. No, we should shut down and make the vaccinated wear masks against a disease they are likely neither to get nor to transmit, in a show of protecting those who do not want to be vaccinated, whether they want to be protected or not. (And the vaccine skeptics are also among the most vehemently opposed to all of the lockdowns!)
My topic for now, though, is not COVID policies but “liberal authoritarianism.” I agree that President Joe Biden does not seem to have an authoritarian personality. But you can’t say that of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, New York governor Andrew Cuomo, California governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer. . . .all of whom seem to enjoy telling people what to do.
As for social media, the progressive civilians employ shaming, shunning, policing, and judgmentalism on a scale that puts Puritan small towns to shame.
All I’m saying is that conservatives used to have the reputation–and perhaps the temptation–of being authoritarian. Now we are in an era of liberal authoritarianism.
Or maybe what we’re seeing is the transition from traditional liberalism to the “successor” to liberalism, a mindset that is not only political, but that extends even into churches.

Teleoperators who remotely monitor and control autonomous vehicles rely on high-performance connectivity to transfer 4K video, multiple audio streams and other data. Even a skosh of latency, jitter or packet loss could spell disaster for a teleoperator intervening to help an autonomous sidewalk delivery bot or even a robotaxi.
One Israeli startup, which spun out of video transmission technology company LiveU, has developed a connectivity platform aimed at ending unpredictable network behavior. Now, after a year as an independent company, DriveU.auto is coming out of stealth with $4 million in new funding.
The funding round was led by RAD group co-founder Zohar Zisapel and included participation from Two Lanterns Venture Partners, Yigal Jacoby, Kaedan Capital and other private investors. Francisco Partners is an existing shareholder. Alon Podhurst, who was vice president of sales at Israeli startup Cognata, has joined DriveU.auto as CEO.
The connectivity platform is designed specifically for teleoperations, a burgeoning technology used to support a variety of autonomous vehicle applications, including robotaxis, self-driving trucks and delivery drones.
DriveU.auto uses what it calls cellular bonding technology, 4K video encoding and advanced algorithms to adapt to changes on a network. Podhurst explained that the company’s “secret sauce” is how it fuses dynamic encoding and cellular network bonding to enable the level of connectivity needed for demanding AV use cases.
The platform provides the missing link for AV companies that want to deploy autonomous vehicles without a human safety driver, Podhurst told TechCrunch. It works in the two major use cases of teleoperations. Teleoperations can be used for direct driving, in which a remote human operator controls the autonomous vehicle. That operator can also use a teleoperations system for remote assistance such as providing high-level driving commands.
DriveU.auto started as a unit within LiveU. It was initially part of LiveU’s CTO office. Although it spun out as an independent company late last year and is now a standalone company, some of its shareholders also have stakes in LiveU.
DriveU.auto has demonstrated its platform with AV developers and Tier 1 suppliers on public roads in Europe, Israel, Japan and the United States, according to Prodhurst. The investment followed engagement with several customers that helped confirm market demand for its technology.
DriveU.auto isn’t sharing customer names. However, Podhurst was able to share that its product is being tested by companies developing delivery and robotaxi platforms, autonomous trucking technology as well as a Tier 1 supplier. DriveU.auto also has a long-term proof of concept agreement with another Tier 1 supplier.

Samsung has some flexible display phones that are set to be released in 2012, but don't expect them to look anything like they do in the video above; check out this link for a more likely representation, of an edge-to-edge display that can bend, twist and perhaps be controlled by said bending and twisting (if the Nokia concepts for flexible devices are any indication).
Samsung alos had a bendable screen on display at CES last year, captured nicely in this video playing one of the Ice Age movies.
According to tech site VentureBeat, Vice President of Investor Relations Robert Yi said during a recent phone call with investors that Samsung is looking to push out its flexible display devices sooner than later:
"The flexible display we are looking to introduce sometime in 2012, hopefully the earlier part," Yi said on the call. "The application probably will start from the handset side."
2011 has been a fruitful year of videos purporting to show the future of technology, with several firms showing off bendable device displays. For all the best, check out our future-tech slideshow (below) and prepare to be transported into a time years from now.
Did you see that? So amazing people who made the incredibly technology like that!

“In a world of Siri, Alexa, and Tesla, the stubborn persistence of paper jams would seem to say something important about the limits of our technological marvels.”
That’s Anna Maria Tremonti, host of The Current, a network broadcast from CBC/Radio-Canada. The aptly named episode, “You’re not alone: Engineers explain why paper jams are such an impossible puzzle to solve,” is everything you wanted to know about paper jams but were afraid to ask.
“Paper jams are very hard to solve because of the variations of the actual paper,” Erwin Ruiz pointed out. He manages the design and development solutions team for Xerox in Webster, N.Y. “[Paper] itself is organic and manufactured, and it’s just so much variation coming from different trees.”
“Basically anything where the biological and the mechanical are forced to work together, eventually, biology wins,” said Joshua Rothman, who wrote “Why Paper Jams Persist” for The New Yorker. “The malleability of the biological material gums up the works of the mechanical system.”
Joshua interviewed Xerox engineers in Webster, and sat in on their meetings while researching his New Yorker article. He shared his insights on paper jams with Anna Maria on The Current.
“Of course we’ve all been there with the frustration of experiencing a paper jam, right? But the truth is, that actually is a big part of what excites me about my job,” Vicki Warner, who manages a Xerox mechanical product development design team in Webster, explained. “I love the opportunity to make someone’s life a little easier. New paper jams are particularly exciting, especially to us engineers. We love the challenge of a difficult problem. Every piece of paper is a little bit different. We try to get this paper through a press without jamming. I don’t think it’s possible — again, due to the variety of the paper. It comes from trees which come from all over the world.”
Learn more about innovation at Xerox
Rothman sums it up well: “One big surprise, when you start to really learn about how much work goes into building a printer, is you discover that you really take for granted decades of incredible engineering work. I think the simplest way to understand it is printers go ten times faster now than they did even 15 years ago. And they’re smaller and quieter, and they’re incredibly inexpensive — and they still jam.
“But everything’s a trade off in engineering,” he added. “So the jam is a problem, but it’s within the context of extraordinary advancements in the world of printers – which of course, as soon as we get used to them, we forget that they’ve happened.”


After several women in the music industry accused him of sexual assault, on Tuesday, prominent music publicist Heathcliff Berru resigned as CEO from the PR firm he co-founded. Before he even stepped down, several of his clients had dropped him in solidarity with the women who came forward. Now Killer Mike, another former client and an artist well known for his commitment to social justice, has spoken out, encouraging men in the music industry to stand up against sexual assault.
While Killer Mike’s statement is important, we prefer Dirty Projectors singer Amber Coffman’s wording, who was the first to speak out against Berru: “Men in power need 2 have our backs,” she tweeted. “fuck the boys club.” Preach.

The Philippine Paralympic Committee (PPC) has been working closely with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and other government entities in monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 on the para-athletes and the hosting of the 10th Asean Para Games (APG).
On Wednesday, the PSC announced that all sports activities for the rest of the year have been postponed, including the discontinuation of the agency’s financial support to the Asean Para Games hosting. While this is disheartening news for our local and ASEAN para-athletes, who have trained and sacrificed so much to represent their respective countries, their health, and safety as well as their coaches, members of their team, and families, remain our top priority. We understand that this is a global concern and this is a very difficult decision to do. At this moment, sports must take a back seat to address a greater issue.
Altogether, the hosting of the APG by the Philippines is currently not feasible without government support. We will send a communication to the ASEAN Para Sports Federation (APSF) on the present situation so that its Board of Governors may decide on the fate of the APG.
We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust to government directives. Our hearts and prayers go to our local and ASEAN para-athletes and the entire Paralympic community, and those who have toiled and labored for the past two (2) years such as our stakeholders, sponsors, business groups, sports advocates, office workers, administrative staff, and countless volunteers who have committed to make the APG a lifelong experience for all of us. We shall continue to develop Para Sports and further the Paralympic Movement.
Let us continue to train our minds and bodies during this pandemic; let us not lose sight of our goals; let us keep the faith and plow forward.
We have our Unstoppable Spirit. We are Para Athletes. We Heal As One.

Recently, our area’s first Chipotle opened. Finally. Our area entered civilization. That location was not my first taste of Chipotle. Years ago, my sister and brother-in-law lived in the Dallas area. When we visited them, we used to eat at Chipotle…a lot. One burrito was too big for me. But I loved that signature foil-wrapped bundle. The carnitas. The cilantro-lime rice. The corn salsa. The pico de gallo (referred to in our family only as “pico”). My wonderful sister informed me that while the carnitas were perfectly lovely (not her words; I’m paraphrasing), she loved the barbacoa best. So, when I noticed a recipe for Chipotle’s barbacoa…on The Slow Roasted Italian (which meant it had to be awesome)…and in the slow cooker? Yes, I had to brag to her that I found a recipe. When planning the challenge, I knew that recipe had to be a part of it early on. This morning, after enjoying the ever-so-delightful Crockpot Creme Caramel Bruleed French Toast, I prepped the barbacoa. And my sister called me only a couple of hours later wondering if I had made the barbacoa yet. She is seriously chomping at the bit for a review of it. Something about wanting to make it at home, I think. Well, I made it. I’ve never tasted the original, but it tasted pretty good (although a bit spicy). I even reduced the number of chipotles in adobo that I included. It was definitely too spicy for Josh. So, I will make it milder next time. And there will be a next time. There’s always a next time…evil laugh! Instead of making the burritos, I made burrito bowls/salads for us (In other words, Josh and I had a salad and Muffin had a bowl). But, I couldn’t stop with just the barbacoa. I also made Better in Bulk’s copycat recipe for the corn salsa, The Slow Roasted Italian’s pico de gallo (sort of…but that’s a long story), and The Slow Roasted Italian’s Better Than Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice. We also added sour cream and cheddar cheese (as well as romaine lettuce to Josh’s and my bowls). Check the links below for my take on each of the components.
This meal was definitely Muffin Approved. He ate most of his with chips. One thing that I didn’t have was pinto beans. Which was, in a way, a travesty because Muffin loves beans. Have you ever had a restaurant-inspired night?
