Breitbart News Senior Legal Editor Ken Klukowski joined SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Thursday’s Breitbart News Daily, discussing the Supreme Court’s handing President Donald Trump a partial victory in its latest ruling in the ongoing legal battle over his immigration security order, Executive Order 13780 (EO).
Various Democrat-led states and liberal interest groups sued after President Trump signed the EO in March, selecting court jurisdictions heavily stacked with left-leaning judges. Two of those cases have now been consolidated for oral arguments this October at the Supreme Court: Trump v. International Refugee Assistance Project and Trump v. Hawaii.
The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision granted the president a qualified victory on June 26, but one in which the Court said—over the objection of the three conservative justices—that the lower courts’ decision against the EO would be left in force for the time being for foreigners with a “bona fide relationship” to a person in the United States.
The State Department then sent a cable to U.S. embassies worldwide, defining “bona fide relationship” to include spouses, children, and certain other very close family members. Hawaii then filed a new motion in its ongoing case against the EO, arguing that the State Department’s definition is too narrow.
U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson sided with Hawaii, modifying his initial injunction, and ordering the government to operate according to Hawaii’s broader definition. Watson also ordered the federal government to continue accepting refugees once the government hit the EO’s refugee limit imposed by President Trump of 50,000.
U.S. Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall asked the Supreme Court either to clarify the meaning of “bona fide relationship” from its first decision, or at minimum to stay the district court’s order while the Justice Department appeals Watson’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
The Supreme Court granted President Trump a partial victory on Wednesday, declining to clarify its original order, but staying Watson’s order requiring the U.S. government to continue accepting refugees in excess of 50,000.
Six justices declined to stay Watson’s expansion of “bona fide relationship.” Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch—the same three who would have given the president a complete victory in June—dissented from this part of the Supreme Court’s order, writing that they would stay the entirety of Watson’s decision.
“This the latest skirmish in the legal tug of war over Executive Order 13780, one in which President Trump continues to win when any given issue reaches the Supreme Court,” Klukowski told Marlow.
“What we are seeing is that the full Supreme Court gives the president a partial victory, while the three conservative justices have sided with President Trump 100 percent, saying—correctly in my view—that the law is completely on the side of the president in these lawsuits, and that the executive order should be upheld in its entirety,” Klukowski explained.
“This is once again a clash between two legal philosophies,” Klukowski continued, contrasting judges who accept that the Constitution commits questions of the national security aspects of immigration to the president and Congress, versus judges who insist on having a role to declare certain policies illegal.
Klukowski explained that the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case during the first two weeks of October, and predicted a decision sometime in the late fall or winter.

Personal Adornment and the Construction of Identity: A Global Archaeological Perspective
Posted: Sep 07, 2021 - 01:00pm
Dr. Hannah Mattson, Assistant Professor of Archaeology, has published her new edited volume Personal Adornment and the Construction of Identity: A Global Archaeological Perspective with Oxbow Press.
Objects of adornment have been a subject of archaeological, historical, and ethnographic study for well over a century. Within archaeology, personal ornaments have traditionally been viewed as decorative embellishments associated with status and wealth, materializations of power relations and social strategies, or markers of underlying social categories such as those related to gender, class, and ethnic affiliation. Personal Adornment and the Construction of Identity seeks to understand these artefacts not as signals of steady, pre-existing cultural units and relations, but as important components in the active and contingent constitution of identities. Drawing on contemporary scholarship on materiality and relationality in archaeological and social theory, this book uses one genre of material culture - items of bodily adornment - to illustrate how humans and objects construct one another.
Providing case studies spanning 10 countries, three continents, and more than 9,000 years of human history, the authors demonstrate the myriad and dynamic ways personal ornaments were intertwined with embodied practice and identity performativity, the creation and remaking of social memories, and relational collections of persons, materials, and practices in the past. The authors’ careful analyses of production methods and composition, curation/heirlooming and reworking, decorative attributes and iconography, position within assemblages, and depositional context illuminate the varied material and relational axes along which objects of adornment contained social value and meaning. When paired with the broad temporal and geographic scope collectively represented by these studies, we gain a deeper appreciation for the subtle but vital roles these items played in human lives.

Barrister with MS challenges Sheffield City Council over rise in care fees
A man with multiple sclerosis has begun a legal challenge against Sheffield Council over a rise in his care fees.
Michael Tooley, who has suffered from the illness since 1997, said his weekly contribution towards his care had increased from £115 to £345.
Mr Tooley, a barrister, said the rise was excessive and discriminatory.
Sheffield City Council said it had carried out a full public consultation before changes were made to its contribution fees earlier this year.
Mr Tooley, who works in Sheffield, said secondary progressive MS meant he relied on non-residential care to lead a "normal life" because he cannot walk, stand up or move his right arm.
"I receive from the council, my own budget that I spend on my own care, for things like people helping me to go out, accompany me on holiday, so I can live as much of a normal life as I can."
'Reflects national guidelines'
A solicitor working on behalf of Mr Tooley has written a letter to the council outlining his concerns.
Eddie Sherwood, director of care and support at the Labour-run council, said: "We cannot comment on any pending individual court case and this claim has been referred to our lawyers for consideration.
"Our lawyers are currently awaiting a reply from the complainant's lawyers in response to various points they have made.
"We feel we followed all due process around consultation, taking full account of the impact any changes would have on individuals, and have only asked people to contribute to the cost if they have the ability to pay, and this national guidelines"
In October, the council announced it was to make a 205% increase in the cost of about 200 people's weekly contributions as it looked to cut £15m from its social services budget.
Mr Tooley said: "I'm not expected to pay for my healthcare I receive or my children's education - why should I be expected to pay an excessive amount for the day-to-day care I require to carry on living normally?"

Christian Activities Publisher Kathryn Darden to Cover Trump March in Washington D.C. on Jan 6
From the Publisher’s Desk: Christian Activities Will Cover Trump March & Rally in Our Nation’s Capitol Jan 6
I will be covering the Trump march on Jan 6 in Washington DC for Christian Activities. I covered the last march in Washington DC on social media using secondary sources and saw mile after mile of peaceful protestors until Antifa/BLM arrived. Then I had to read headlines about the violence at the Trump march that didn’t mention there was no violence until Antifa/BLM arrived.
I will not be in the crowds but will stay in COVID isolation while I cover this important event from a distance. I will also have a reporter in the crowd sending me video footage, and we are working on a YouTube channel.
This will not be hearsay. This will not be fake news. This will not be photoshopped.
I have grown weary of the SIX leftist-controlled conglomerates that own something like 90% of major news agencies repeating the same propaganda over and over. The agenda of the left is not compatible with Biblical Christianity and is only in line with the type of progressive Christianity that is moving away from Biblical mandates and towards socialism. So although I am concerned about COVID-19 as well as the potential for violent Antifa and BLM riots that always occur at these events, I am more concerned about the future of our nation and it’s Christian foundation if we allow our constitution to be trampled on so egregiously that we allow a fraudulent vote to take away our rights as American citizens.
That’s why I am on the road to Washington DC, to provide my own truthful coverage of what I see and what my man in the streets will report back to me on. Stay tuned for my coverage. I will be running articles on Christian Activities as well as posting photos and video links on Facebook and Twitter.
Christian Activities may earn an affiliate commission if you purchase something through recommended links in this article.
Please pray for safe travels and protection at the event for me and my reporter. Please pray for our nation. Please pray for ears to hear and eyes to see the truth as I am.

Zero Hedge: The power to tax has long conferred the power to destroy political opponents. But in the glorious era of President Joe Biden, all previous cases of government abuse of power are being expunged, at least by the media and Biden supporters. That is why it is supposedly safe to vastly increase the power of perhaps the most feared federal agency, the Internal Revenue Service.
“And he said to them, “Collect no more than what is appointed for you.” Luke 3:13 KJV
After announcing his endless wish list for new federal spending, Biden told Congress last week: “I’ve made clear that we can do it without increasing deficits.” Biden believes he has found a goose that will lay golden eggs for federal revenue – a new army of IRS agents to hound Americans and corporations to pay far more taxes.
The Washington Post reported that “the single biggest source of new revenue in the plan comes from dramatically expanding the clout of the nation’s tax agency.” Slate reported, “Biden wants to fund a massive upgrade to the American welfare state by making the IRS great at audits again.”
But the agency Biden seeks to expand and unleash has an appalling record.

The head of Louisiana’s state police has announced that two law enforcement officers have been arrested over the fatal shooting of a six-year-old boy and the wounding of his father earlier this week.
Colonel Mike Edmonson said in a news conference on Friday that the two officers were being booked on charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder over Tuesday’s shooting in Marksville.
Edmonson identified the two officers as Norris Greenhouse Jr and Derrick Stafford.
State police have been investigating the death of Jeremy Mardis, who was in a vehicle with his father when pursuing officers opened fire.
Edmonson gave few details of what happened but said the investigation was ongoing. Two other officers were involved in the incident.
“He didn’t deserve to die like that, and that’s what’s important,” Edmonson said at a news conference.
Citing camera footage of the incident, he said: “I can tell you, it is the most disturbing thing I’ve seen, and I’ll leave it like that.”

The artist in residence in Nau Ivanow, Los Escultores del Aire, presents Online Lab Project workshop. The Lab Project is a space for training and exploration of the possibilities of encounter and miscegenation between the physical theater and high artistic arts with manipulation of objects, body percussion, dance, miming, acrobatic, etc.
ONLINE LAB PROJECT
From the 3rd to the 7th of August from 5pm to 8pm (CET) by Zoom
Los Escultores del Aire are opening up their international virtual space in the form of an online lab. It consists of 15 sessions divided into 3 blocks.
From the company’s accumulated experiences, the members of Los Escultores del Aire will convey to their students the alchemy of creation and the necessary tools for them to discover their own.
Each block will work as a pedagogical pill where the pillars of physical theatre: dramaturgy, form and rhythm will be explored. In other words: story, choreography and theatrical intention.
The ultimate goal of the sessions is to give the students the necessary tools in building a piece of their own work.
-All of the sessions will take place through Zoom. Students need to download the application on their computer or mobile device ahead of time.
-The student must have a computer or a mobile device with a camera to share images in real-time.
-Dramaturgy and dramatic structures
-Creation and Composition
-Architecture and scenography
-Lighting and color
FIRST BLOCK – TECHNIQUE
We will rediscover the student’s physical instrument in a musical sense; developing their skills, tuning and mastery of their body
We’ll work on the technical principles of:
– Inter-corporeal articulation (coordination, dissociation and control of different body parts)
– Inter-spatial articulation (Spatial awareness and clarity of the directions and levels in which the body travels)
– Rhythm and intention (Use of the different qualities and rhythmic intensities of a dramatic intention)
SECOND BLOCK – STYLISATION
We will work on the idea of transposition. Just like music is a transposition of sound, a painting a transposition of color, movement can be the transposition of thought or emotion.
We’ll work on the following technical principles:
– The change of axis and focus from a spectator’s point of view
– Amplification and simplification of a physical action
– Ellipsis and changes in time, space and character
– Editing and alteration of rhythm from a dramatic point of view
THIRD BLOCK – DRAMATURGY
We will develop the student’s proposed ideas in terms of dramaturgy and staging. Students will get a guide on how to shape their imaginary to bring their ideas to life.
We’ll work on the basic principles of:
– The use of color in costume and make-up
– Lighting as a dramatic tool
– The object as a symbol and extension of a character
– Structuring and organization of scenes
– Poetry and symbolism behind a message

It is becoming more and more difficult for the naysayers to deny that we are facing climate change. Some areas are experiencing too much rain, while others are facing catastrophic drought. It is hard to miss the changes in ocean temperatures and how that is affecting ocean life. People have offered all kinds of solutions to stop or reverse what is going on in the world’s climate, but the solutions are expensive and unproven. Perhaps we need to turn to God’s solution for climate change.
Science News published an extensive series of reports under the title “Can Trees Save the World.” The subject matter is broken into three major topics: (1) The Promise and Pitfall of Trees (2) First, Protect Today’s Forests (3) The Forested Farms of the Future. The articles point out the many things trees do to provide climates in which humans can survive.
For example, trees capture and sequester carbon, break up the soil, and inject nutrients into all kinds of soils. Trees provide food for a wide variety of life forms, including humans. Those food sources include fruit, fungus, and plant materials. The report gives an encouraging message of how trees can change the climate situation that threatens humans today,
It is worth noting that according to the Genesis account, the first form of life God created was plants (Genesis 1:11). This was before He established the Sun and Moon as controllers of “signs and for seasons and for days and for years.” The sequence of plants in these verses is “deshe” (grasses), “eseb” (herbs – gymnosperms), and finally “ets peri zera” (tree yielding fruit whose seed is in itself).
Scientific evidence shows that plants were major factors in producing a climate that would allow humans to exist. It seems that correcting our climate problems should involve repeating what God used initially to prepare the planet for human life. We need to turn to God’s solution for climate change.

If this post gets answered, I hope it will also help anyone else trying to hit that combination of “instance/teams/performance”, so I hope I'm forgiven for writing a novel like this one. Also, if by some miracle this does work in the end, I might repay it by some tutorial or at least a post reply about what tips it gave me.
I have asked and received great advice for a small scale strategy game, but thou it has helped with many details, I think I just can't finish it without this topic:
Is there either a smart object universally compatible or some magical combination of distinct player units/instances without copies/performance, which would allow me to reach 3000 or 4000 active objects without frame rate dropping under something acceptable like 30 fps? I know Fusion can have even 10000 units in there as long as they do nothing but move around, but I was hoping to get to at least 3000 with a reserve for resources, bullets and such.
First the good news: I have received help and have some code to allow instances to attack each other without copies (like “soldier01”, “soldier02”), and I have animated simple soldier units, which have frames for two units, three and so on, to blow up the unit count even more. Also, I use automated rotation with top-down view, so I presume animation stress should be as low as possible? However, I for the life of me can't figure out how to make both instances with team colors and at the same time be able to animate them bolster the unit numbers, since:
- using loops to attach a colored circle or anything visible to make teams stand out starts to lag the Fusion around 1000 – 1500 units (and means 500 soldiers would also mean 500 markers), without loops the attaching with build-in spawning and such don't seem to work without bugs and trying to use attached counters with color circle animation doesn't seem to be less lagging than active objects
- without any attached markers, animating instances to both have frames for unit count and color or other difference for teams would mean… countless animation frames within any instance to work? I know I could make animation “brown” with frames “0 = one soldier” “1 = two soldiers”, but if I want them to have even two or three different stances (arrow, line or a circle) it starts to be hundreds of frames per animation, and I don't know if the Fusion can handle that all, or me...
- I was hoping the main teams to be brown and grey, with possibly red and blue to be “support” teams if needed and possibly green or something for neutral. I tried to avoid markers and animating altogether by making alterable value for team to event a rgb change, but I just can't get all the necessary colors to come out like that. Changing color affects all the instances, so that won't help, but maybe rgb effect could, if I was able to make it work…
- I have tried to use fixed values to link the soldiers/soldier group to an object called “group”, which I can just set to a color by “value = set frame”, but making units/groups to follow and look at the “group”- objects without bugs means loops, and it seems to cause same kind of resources cap as attaching a colored marker would too…
So, if anyone bothered to read this much jargon, I think I ask the following:
1. Is there a way to attach markers to units, that won't lag as soon as you hit 500 units + 500 markers?
2. Is there a way to get brown, grey, red, blue and green colors out of rgb effect? Does it need smart objects or some calculation beyond “GetRGB (red, green, blue)” to work?
3. Is there a tutorial or some clever way to create a group of soldiers, make them follow a “group”- object and still be able to attack individually? (Making the group objects to fight each other looks silly, if soldier units get left behind and die miles away from the main group)
4. Is there any alternative to make a few teams of swarm like armies, while one instance can be both a game unit for different teams and still visibly apart from the other teams?
5. Is my only option to make copies of every units for every team? I'll do it, if it's the only way, but not until it is the only way to do it. Handling something like sounds taunting.
Or am I just embarrassing myself and I need to buy an editor able to make an rts game? I have tried to avoid it, since I have done at least something viable with Fusion before and I don't have coding diploma to back me up, but...

NBA players spend their summers differently. Some guys (Tim Duncan) hang out at the pool with their
Jackson told Ticket 760 earlier this month his summer has been spent working on and promoting his upcoming album. Jackson said his growth as a basketball player and as rapper have grown together.
“Basketball has always been my first love, that was my blessing from God,” Jackson said. “I think as my career developed, that developed. I’ve always had a passion for music growing up, singing in the church choir and all that stuff. So as time passed I recognized another talent which is music. So I just took it seriously just as I took my basketball seriously.”
Jackson went on to say that he’s going to play basketball until “the game doesn’t let me play no more” but does plan to keep making music until “I can’t talk no more.”
Good for Jack doing something he’s passionate about and having relative success at it (especially compared to other basketball players who try to rap). Spurs fans probably just Jack’s been playing a little of basketball in between shows and studio sessions.

Sagntid - Where the Black Dogs Cease to Bark. Demo-CDR 2009.
This is the latest release from this Danish one-man band. Sagntid started in 2002 and have since four demos (this demo included), one split (with Varnoff) and a full-length has been recorded and they are looking for labels to release it. Many of the other Sagntid releases have been reviewed elsewhere on this website. "Where the Black Dogs Cease to Bark" contains one long track, well over 18 minutes long, almost 19 minutes long (plus a hidden track) with the same title as the demo. The track is a very slow, monotonous piece of music. As it plods along on a very leisurely pace it develops and builds, there is no real crescendo but more instruments and themes are introduced as this songs develops. There is also a lot of repletion in the music. It is based around a few parts on the keyboard with some samples, some guitar parts and a some spoken parts. All in all a very good track with a dark and gloomy atmosphere. I will not go into the hidden track, but I do believe that the track has originally appeared on the full-length "The Slipstream World of Sagntid". If you are into dark Ambient this might be for you.

“We’re going out to compete, so it’s not a development tournament for us, by any standard.”
It tells you a lot about where the Ireland women’s rugby team is, right now, when 23-year-old Dorothy Wall is one of the most experienced players in their Six Nations squad.
Wall made her 15s international debut in the 2020 Six Nations, writes Aoife White, and has made 23 appearances for her country, since. In Scott Bemand’s first Six Nations squad since taking over from Greg McWilliams, Wall is just behind co-captain Edel McMahon (24 caps) and Linda Djougang (32) in terms of games.
Wall, who has been named as one of four Aer Lingus ambassadors from the women’s squad, ahead of this year’s Six Nations, is enjoying another impressive season, internationally and with Munster and The Clovers (in The Celtic Cup). The Munster co-captain spoke with us about Ireland’s tough outing in last year’s Six Nations, a positive WXV outing in Dubai and how that showing given the young squad some confidence.
“It was a tough Six Nations for us last year, with the changes that came in,” says Wall. “Being able to win all (our) games in WXV was a boost that our squad needed to set some foundations for going forward. We know the Six Nations is a different challenge in itself but we’re continuously growing and trying to be better. Our culture is a huge part of that – our team bond and the work we’re doing there is very essential to our journey.
“It was an enjoyable tournament (in Dubai), equal parts learning and equal parts rewarding. There’s nothing better than working hard together, problem-solving, getting to the point where you’re in a flow on the pitch. A big thing for us is firing shots on the pitch where we can and when we can. And it’s very much incorporated within our training idea that we are there to compete and we are there to fire shots. So, that was something that WXV allowed us to lean into…
“We needed to remember what it felt like to win and, against Spain, we kind of had to grind that out because they were the hardest of the three teams to play, and it was really good. It was a month away, the whole squad together. We learned a lot, we trained hard. It was around 42 degrees over there, people were passing out, ice baths everywhere, you were just trying to survive the conditions. It was really tough but so rewardin,g as well. It was a great trip for us and we’re under no illusions that the Six Nations is a very different beast to WXV but it was still really important for us as a squad to get those wins.”
“The target,” Wall adds, “is to qualify for the World Cup in 2025 – that’s the overall squad target.”
New dawn for Dorothy Wall and Ireland
Before Scott Bemand took the Ireland gig, he was lead coach of an England side that won the 2017 World Cup in 2017 and the Six Nations an impressive six times, including five Grand Slams.
Dorothy Wall spoke about what he has brought to camp, and how the squad has developed since he arrived.
“Scott made me realise that there’s a lot more dimensions to rugby that I even was aware of. He’s constantly expanding our rugby IQ asking questions and emphasising certain parts of the game that maybe we weren’t aware were so important, in terms of beating other teams.
“It’s a more rounded overall knowledge that he’s bringing to the game, and it has been really important. It’s eye-opening for a lot of us. We’re just continuously trying to take on board that information and then bring it out to training and execute and then into matches.”
Despite it being Bemand’s first Six Nations as Ireland head coach, Wall did not truck with the notion that this was a ‘development tournament’ for them.
“We’re going out to compete so it’s not a development tournament for us, by any standard. There’s pressure in playing international rugby, whatever way you look at it. If you’ve won a Six Nations, if you’ve lost a Six Nations there’s pressure, either way, to stay on top or to improve to get closer to the top. I think pressure is an integral thing to this position and you have to embrace it, going forward. We want to compete and I suppose pressure is a part of that. ”
Ireland will face France in the opening round of the Women’s Guinness Six Nations, this Saturday (March 23). Ireland then face a strong Italian side in the RDS on Sunday, March 31. Following the success in the WVX3, back in October 2023, Ireland will now play in the WVX2 series in South Africa, this October.

sorry, my english, google helps
I managed to install Mojave 10.14.4 and change the graphics card Gainward GeForce GTX 970 Phantom after long deliberation. As the AMD graphics cards are getting cheaper and despite less power consumption, I was looking for AMD cards ...
First, I had the XFX 590 which only caused problems because of BIOS. Did not see a new card with BIOS flashing to play, so back!
Then Sapphire Radeon RX 580 8GD5 Nitro + came into question. No matter if the BIOS was in gamer mode or silent mode, you could not hear a fan from the card, really great. But it could not allow this card, even though it is recognized under Mojave natively, still only 17% better performance than the GTX 970. So back again. Annoying but uncompromising!
Now it's time for the MSI V368-001R Radeon RX Vega 56 Air Boost 8G OC. Everything out of box, perfectly recognized. I was disturbed only by the blower. With appropriate instructions had got it under control. Because I play under WIN10, I tested the map for everything. Again and again crashes and restarts of the computer. Then I bought a stronger power supply that supports 2x 8 pins for PCI-e. At least I did not have a computer restart, but the turbine started howling in good scenes in the game! Sorry, it's not all earache, back to sender.
After a long search I found the right one: Asus ROG Strix RX VEGA 56-O8G-Gaming. Immediately I set the Bios switch to Quiet Mode fed up with Power Mode. Again the Vega Optimization Tool used and finally my expectations had exceeded me. No howl of the fan, nice quiet with a lot of power. But above all, stable and without black screens or flashing of the monitor.
On my motherboard Asus TUF B450-PRO GAMING is the first M2 SSD WIN10, the second M2 SSD Samsung EVO, Hacki - Mojave 10.14.4 installed.
For the optimal WIFI solution, I bought and perfectly integrated the "ABWB 802.11 AC WI-FI + Bluetooth 4.0 PCI-Express (PCI-E) BCM943602CS Combo" card.
The "KEXTE" I have optimized, unnecessary taken out, so the start is fast and easy.
I would like to thank Shanee and his tireless work, great work!

On March 25th, the Faculty of Language Studies and Human Development (FBI) marks its new chapter in UMK, when its first faculty building is inaugurated. the history of FBI, or previously known as PBI, which stands for Pusat Pengajian Bahasa dan Pembangunan Insan, or Centre for Language Studies and Generic Development, goes back to the establishment of UMK in 2006. The centre was pioneered by its three academic staffs which were Prof Dr Farok Zakaria, the first director, Assoc Prof Dr Zain Mubarak and Dr Marwan Ismail. In 2008, the office of PBI was located in UMK's City Campus. Three years later, in 2011, the office was relocated to UMK's Bachok Campus at Level 2 of the Administration and Academic Building (BAP). Only seven years later, PBI received its own academic and administrative building.
The officiating ceremony was attended by the Vice-Chancellor of UMK, Prof Dato' Dr Noor Azizi Ismail, as well as the deputy vice-chancellors, and the deans of faculties in UMK. The officiating ceremony started with a montage video portraying early members of FBI recalling the early experience by walking the audience down the memory lane of the early years of FBI. The Dean of FBI, Dr Burhan Bin Che Daud, gave a welcoming remark at the officiating ceremony and followed by the officiating speech by Prof Dato' Dr Noor Azizi Ismail.
The officiation of the FBI building in 2021 marks the success of FBI from being an academic centre, servicing UMK students, to becoming a faculty where it hosts its own programs and undergraduate students.
Dr Burhan in his remarks stressed that the success of FBI today, the credit should be given to the people of the past who struggled setting up the faculty, to become what it is today. He also mentioned that the sincerity in working for PBI and FBI is one of the major aspects of its founders, as they work not for themselves, but for the betterment of the faculty. Therefore, according to Dr Burhan, the merits go to the beginners.
Prof Dato' Dr Noor Azizi, in his speech, reminded FBI staff to always be brave and brace challenges of what may come. This, he said, is the main attribute that makes FBI what it is today and enables FBI to contribute to UMK in many aspects.
After the officiating ceremony, the audience comprises of the members of FBI, as well as other UMK staff, enjoyed lunch together.

Why Foul Mouths Might Finish First
New research shows that a well-timed ‘F-bomb’ might be the difference between winning and losing.
Swear words exist in every culture and language. These taboo terms for bodily functions, sexual acts, and holy matters serve many purposes: to shock, to amuse, to express strong emotion, and even to create close bonds. Now a team of researchers from the UK and the United States have shown a direct relation between swearing and physical strength.
In two experiments conducted on opposite sides of the Atlantic, the researchers put volunteers through rigorous physical tests, once while saying inoffensively bland words like “flat” and “round,” and a second time while saying the F-word literally every three seconds.
As reported last week at the British Psychological Society annual conference, when participants swore, they boosted their strength and overall physical performance by five percent or more.
David Spierer is a former professor of exercise science at Long Island University who conducted the US swearing experiments in which 29 young men and women were put through the grueling Wingate Anaerobic Test. For 30 agonizing seconds, participants pedaled as hard and fast as they could on a stationary bike set to maximum resistance for their body weight.
“This test is not for everybody,” Spierer said. He remembers giving the Wingate test to college hockey players a few years ago. “After doing two of these tests in a row, 70 percent of them threw up.”
In Spierer’s swearing study, participants had to do the stationary bike test two separate times — once while swearing and once without swearing — with lots of rest in between. Spierer randomized the order so that half of the participants swore the first time and the other half swore the second. In the swearing round, participants were prompted to look at a timer and repeat the F-word precisely every three seconds at a “regular” volume — neither yelling nor whispering.
When swearing, participants pushed themselves to 570 watts on the bike test, a five percent increase on average over their peak non-swearing performance.
The UK swearing study produced nearly identical results, this time with an isometric handgrip that measures hand strength in kilograms. That study was lead by Richard Stephens, a psychologist and professor at Keele University. Stephens and colleagues already proved in 2009 that swearing increases our resistance to pain, reporting that students could hold their hand in a bucket of ice water 40 seconds longer on average if they were allowed to cuss.
In the handgrip experiments, swearing students squeezed up to 2.14 kilograms harder on average than when they said only neutral words — an eight percent increase. That might explain why a murmured “son of a…” does the trick when prying the lid off of a jam jar.
Spierer and Stephens had a hunch going into the experiments that swearing would boost physical performance, but their hypothesis explaining the phenomenon proved wrong. Their initial theory was that swearing triggered the so-called fight-or-flight response, raising heart rates and temporarily elevating speed and strength.
But the test results came back negative. While physical performance was markedly improved when swearing, heart rates and skin conductance — sweat levels on the skin surface that increase under stress or arousal — were the same as the non-swearing rounds.
If it isn’t a fight-or-flight response, then why does swearing boost our powers? Spierer and Stephens’s latest theory is that the taboo act of swearing distracts us from the pain and embarrassment of exerting ourselves to the fullest. It isn’t a purely physiological effect, but also a psychological one.
“When individuals were cursing, they were just less inhibited. And when they were less inhibited, that may have had some kind of analgesic effect,” said Spierer. “It may have had a pain reducing effect, or an ‘I don’t care’ effect, or an ‘I’m going to push through this because I get to curse while I’m doing it.’ And that’s where the psychology comes into play. The psychology of cursing allowed for the physiology of the performance spike during the test.
It’s an interesting idea, that breaking a taboo lowers inhibitions and allows for full-throttle physical performance. But isn’t the very act of repeatedly saying the F-word in front of your professor and a lab full of assistants embarrassing enough in itself to cancel out the positive “disinhibitory” effects?
There was certainly a degree of embarrassment at first, Spierer said. But, he added, once participants got on the bike and started pedaling against the brutal resistance, that all went out the window.
"They were happy to curse," he said, "and fine with it.”

Need a little help? Daily’s giving away free meals Friday
100 meals handed out at each location to help those affected by COVID-19 crisis
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – If your family has been struggling financially because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Daily’s has something that might help.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, each Daily’s Dash location will give away 100 free care packages for families who need assistance. A total of 2,000 care packages will be handed out.
The food will be given on a first-come, first-served basis with no requirements.
The company only asks that you not take a care package unless your family really needs it.
“If you are not in need, please leave the meal for those who are,” said Aubrey Edge, CEO and President of Daily’s.
The care package will include a pound of gourmet deli meat, a loaf of freshly baked bread from Village Bread, chips, sweet treats, and more.
Daily’s said the idea was sparked by the hardships many are facing because of necessary restrictions on everyday life that have resulted in layoffs, furloughs and reduced hours.
“This crisis impacts all of us, and it is in times such as these that our community can work together to lessen the impact that is being felt emotionally, physically, and economically,” Edge said. “We know there are many who suddenly find themselves in need, and Daily’s is committed to serving our community. Today we do so by giving to those families whose jobs and livelihoods have been impacted in a negative way.”
There will be designated tables outside the store entrance at each location, and those collecting care packages are asked to follow social distancing guidelines if there is a wait for service.
As a gas station, Daily’s is considered an essential business and continues operating under normal business hours. The company said necessary steps are being taken, following CDC guidelines to protect the health of customers and employees.
A list of all Daily’s Dash locations can be found at https://dailys.com/dash-locations.

Immigration Minister Mark Harper has backed the Government's new UK Visas and Immigration Service to clear Britain's backlog of immigration cases.
The UK Border Agency was a troubled organisation for many years, which is why the Home Secretary took the decision to split the agency in March this year.
The new UK Visas and Immigration Service has a clear focus to improve visa performance and customer service, while the Immigration Enforcement Command concentrates on those who break our immigration laws.
Both now report directly to ministers, delivering greater transparency and accountability.
It will take a long time to clear the backlogs we inherited - but through the changes we have made we are in a much stronger position to do so.

There are a lot of things I love about the house we moved to a little over two years ago, and one of those things is that I have a sewing room again! This room gets some of the best natural light in the house and serves multiple purposes. We have a bed for guests, my sewing machines and supplies, and I also have an office space. I’m no stranger to sewing in a shared space, but the set up I have going on right now is almost ideal for what I need these days. I’m enjoying it so much that I thought you might enjoy it also. :)
Over the years and through multiple houses, my sewing space has looked different – in a finished basement, in an unused bedroom, in our bedroom, in the unfinished basement, in another unused bedroom… and now it’s probably the best set up I’ve had yet.
Since this room needs to serve several purposes, I had to be creative in how I set up the furniture. I have two long tables – one holds all my sewing machines and the other serves as a desk and a cutting table.
I put my desk/cutting table under the window so that when I sit here for creating videos for my membership, I can have great natural light. I also get great light on the table for any sewing tutorials I want to create. And behind my desk is the hutch I got from my grandmother that holds all my books. (Okay, obviously this isn’t all my books… we have a LOT of books. ;)
Opposite my desk is my sewing table. I’ve got my three working machines, plus my vintage machine that currently isn’t in working condition. The small stools stack nicely, so if my kids want to come in and work alongside me, I can pull them apart. The bins underneath the table are for scrap and felt fabrics that my kids can use anytime.
I picked up these thread holders on different thrifting trips, and am so glad to finally have them up on the wall! Functional and pretty. :)
Not pictured is the other half of the room… a bed for guests, a printer that sits on top of drawers with sewing patterns and office supplies, and a closet that holds all my fabric and sewing notions.
I’m so happy with how this room turned out, and it has been especially nice to have a sunny space to work this winter!

Jets roll with same skaters as road trip begins in Minnesota
ST. PAUL — Connor Hellebuyck gets the start in goal tonight as the Winnipeg Jets begin a three-game road trip against the Minnesota Wild.
There will be no other lineup changes to the group that downed the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 in overtime on Monday at Canada Life Centre in front of backup netminder David Rittich.
That means forward Dominic Toninato and defenceman Kyle Capobianco will be the healthy scratches, while blue-liner Dylan DeMelo remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury. He participated in the morning skate at Xcel Energy Center in a non-contact jersey.
In other injury news, forward Nikolaj Ehlers underwent surgery this morning in Detroit for a sports hernia. He’s expected to miss between 7-10 weeks as he recovers.
Puck drop tonight is 6 p.m. CT. The Jets then move on to play Dallas on Friday, and Chicago on Sunday.


This is a tough question for me. My .280 is my "honey", my oldest rifle, a 700 Mountain Rifle, light, slim accurate, and because I've had it for 20+, I've killed just about everything our here in Montana with it. My newest rifle is the Tikka T3 Lite. Just as light as the Mountain Rifle, but in 270WSM, it shoots flatter, and is just about as accurate as you'd ever want, expect or need! It's guaranteed to shoot a 3 shot group and almost always does - unless it's my fault. This gun is NOT fussy about what you put through it. Comes with scope rings and, in my opinion, is really the best gun for the money out there right now. As for barrel life, I haven't had mine long enough to answer that one, but I sort of "baby" my rifles. Thing is, the magnums are always going to show the results of all that burning powder a lot more than the "standard" calibers. It's just their nature. By the way, I think the Kimber Montana would be an excellent choice - wish I could afford one, but I honestly don't think the difference in price buys any more gun than that Tikka. As for loads, I've worked up a 110grain Barnes TTSX with Hunter powder that exits at 3500 fps!

Places of Refuge
One of the most inevitable things about a ship’s journey at the sea is running into an unprecedented circumstance. Even with mariners always being prepared for adverse conditions, ships being cornered into helpless situations are very common.
What are “Places of Refuge” for Ships?
by Smita, Marine Insight
When a ship meets an accident or is unable to continue its journey, the main concern remains to get the ship, its crew and the cargo out of imminent danger, while causing no harm to the surroundings.
The most logical way would be to take the ship to a secure place, so as to prevent further damage to crew or environment. That secure place would again, logically, be the closest port for ship to harbor. However, that’s where the minor problem is. Taking a damaged ship to a port might cause problem for the port authorities especially if it can cause damage to host port making it a political concern as well.
History of Places of Refuge for Ships
The idea of ships place of refuge has existed for a very long time. Even in 19th and 20th century, vessels in distress enjoyed the right to seek refuge and gain friendly protection from different ports. However, it was in 21st century that………[access full article]
