We pass through a low
door, and enter a kind of antechamber, where we pay a penny each. A buffet
with soda-water, lemonade, apples, and cakes, is surrounded by a crowd of
thinly-clad factory girls, and a youthful cavalier with a paper cap is shooting
at a target with a cross-bow, and after each shot he throws a farthing on the
buffet. Passing through the ante-chamber and a narrow corridor, we enter the pit
of the penny-theatre, a place capable of holding fifty persons. There are also
galleries—a dozen of wooden benches rise in amphitheatrical fashion up to the
ceiling; and, strange to say, the gentlemen sit on one side and the ladies on
the other. This separation of the sexes is owing to a great refinement of
feeling. The gentlemen, chiefly labourers and apprentices, luxuriate during the
representation in the aroma of their “pickwicks,” a weed of which we can
assure the reader that it is not to be found in the Havanna; but they are
gallant enough to keep the only window in the house wide open.
Just as we enter we see the director, a small curly-headed man, with a red punch face, ascending the stage by means of a ladder. He makes two low bows, one for the ladies and one for the gentlemen, and delivers himself of a grand oration, to excuse some small deficiences in his institution. At every third word he is interrupted by the cheers and remarks of the audience.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” says he. “I am sorry I cannot produce a prima donna to-night. Jenny Lind has sent me a message by my own submarine telegraph, asking for an extension of her leave. You would not surely shorten the honeymoon of the nightingale. Why, to do that would be as bad as cruelty to animals. Madame Sontag tells me, quite in confidence, that she is falling off, and that, although her voice is good enough for Yankee ears, she wants the courage to make her appearance before the refined public of No. 17, Broad-street, London. Mdlle. Wagner was at my service, cheap as any stale mackerel; but could I insult you by producing her? Would not every note have reminded you of the fact, that she values nothing in England but its copper pence. Besides, the terms of friendship which subsist between myself and Mr. Lumley—there are considerations—I hope you’ll understand me, ladies and gentlemen!”
“Maybe you are astonished that these boards are uncarpeted, and that no painted curtain displays its glories to your eyes!”
A voice from the gallery :—“ At your uncle’s, eh ?"
Another voice :—“ Nonsense! His wife has turned the stuff into a petticoat.”
“How little you understand me, ladies and gentlemen. In the first place, it is but decent that our stage should lament the death of the Iron Duke “—Interruption —“No first place! Don’t you try to be funny, old feller ! “—-Blasphemy—groans.
“Ladies and gentlemen, pray listen to me. Let all be serene between us. I have nothing to conceal. Ladies and gentlemen, the overture is about to commence
The speaker vanishes through a trap-door, through which two fellows presently ascend. One is dressed up to represent an Irishman; the other wears the characteristic habiliments of a Scotch Highlander. They play some national airs, and while thus engaged strip themselves of every particle of their outer clothing, and appear as American planters. Some one from below, hands up a couple of straw hats, which they clap on their heads, and the metamorphosis is complete. They then go to the back of the stage and return with an unfortunate “African.” The part is acted by no less distinguished a person than the director himself. His face is blackened, he has a woolly wig on his head, and heavy chains on his wrists and ankles; and to prevent all misunderstandings, there is pinned to his waistcoat an enormous placard, with the magic words of “UNCLE TOM.”
The planters produce meanwhile a couple of stout whips, which instruments of torture they use in a very unceremonious manner, in belabouring the back of the sable protege of the Duchess of Sutherland and the women of England generally, when all of a sudden, that illustrious negro, exclaiming, “LIBER-R-R-TY! LIBER-R-R-TY!” breaks his fetters, and turning round with great deliberation, descends into the pit. Exeunt the two planters, each with a somerset.
Transformation ~—Three forms issue from the back door; a colossal female, with a trident and a diadem of gilt paper, bearing the legend of “BRITANNIA”; after her, a pot-bellied old gentleman, with a red nose and a spoon in his right hand, while his left holds an enormous soup-plate, with a turtle painted on the back of it.
Britannia, heaving a deep sigh, sits down on a stool, adjusts a telescope, which is very long and very dirty, and looks out upon the ocean. The gentleman with the red nose, who, of course, represents the Lord Mayor of the good City of London, kneels down at her feet, and indulges in a fit of very significant howlings and gnashings of teeth. The third person is a sailor-boy complete, with a south-wester, blue jacket, and wide trousers, who dances a hornpipe while Britannia sighs and the Lord Mayor howls.
Now comes the great scene of the evening! Somebody or something, diving up from the very midst of the pit, makes a rush against the stage. It is the Uncle Tom of the last scene; but surely even Her Grace of Sutherland would not know him again. His face is as black and his hair as woolly as ever; but a cocked hat, a pair of red trousers and top boots, and an enormous sword, brings it home even to the dullest understanding, that this is a very dangerous person! Besides, on his hack there is a placard, with the inscription “Solouque — NAPOLEON EMPEROR”!!
The monster bawls out “INVASION!” while, to the great delight of the ladies and gentlemen, he bumps his head several times against the chalky cliffs of Britain, which, on the present emergency, are represented by the wooden planks of the stage. The very sailor-boy, still dancing his hornpipe, shows his contempt for so much ferocity and dulness. He greets the invader with a scornful—” Parli-vow Frenchi?”
At this juncture, the conqueror becomes aware of the presence of the short ladder, and mounts it forthwith. The boy vents his feelings of horror and disgust in an expressive pantomime, the Lord Mayor howls louder than ever, and the gnashing of his teeth is awful to behold; but just as the invader has gained the edge of the stage, he is attacked by the sailor, who, applying his foot to a part of the Frenchman’s body which shall be nameless, kicks that warrior back into the pit. The public cheer, Britannia and the Lord Mayor dance a polka, and the sailor sings “God save the Queen!”
“If the French ambassador could but know of this!” said Mr. Baxter, as the two friends were pushing their way out through a crowd of new corners.
Max Schlesinger, Saunterings in and about London, 1853
Do my readers know Shoreditch? I do not mean the Eastern Counties Railway Station, but the regions dark and dolorous lying beyond. In an old map of London, by my side, dated 1560, I see it marked as a street with but one row of houses on each side, and the five windmills in Finsbury Fields not far off. Here stood the Curtain Theatre. In Stowe's time there were in Shoreditch "two publique houses for the acting and shewe of comedies, tragedies, and histories for recreation." Here, according to the learned and indefatigable Mr. Timbs, "at the Blue Last public-house, porter was first sold, about 1730." And here still, if I may judge from the immense number of public-houses all round, the consumption of porter and other intoxicating liquors is still carried on on a somewhat extensive scale. Hard working and businesslike as Shoreditch is by day, with its clothes marts and extensive shoe depôts, by night it is a great place for amusement. Here are theatres where melodrama reigns supreme. Close by is the renowned Britannia Saloon. And here concerts exist where, over their beer, the listeners are regaled with the sentimental and comic songs of a generation long gathered to its fathers. To me I confess there is somewhat of pathos in these places. What tales cannot that ancient landlord tell! The young, the beautiful, the brave he has outlived, where are they?
But let us pass on to the penny theatre, a place not hard to find in this region of shell-fish and fruit-pie shops, those sure indications of a neighbourhood rather poor and very wild. We pay our money at the door, and then follow the direction given us by the businesslike young woman who takes the fee, "First turn to the left, and then to the right." But instead of being allowed to enter at once, we have to wait with several others, chiefly boys, very dirty, who regard us apparently with no very favourable eye, till a fresh house is formed. Our new acquaintances are not talkative, and we are not sorry when our turn comes to enter the dirty hole set apart for the entertainment of the Shoreditch youth. We climb up a primitive staircase, and find ourselves in a gallery of the rudest description, a privilege for which we have to pay a penny extra. Here we have an ample view of the stage and the pit, the latter chiefly filled with boys, very dirty, and full of fun, with the usual proportion of mothers with excited babies. The performance commences with a panorama of American scenery, with some very stale American criticisms, about the man who was so tall that he had to go up a ladder to shave himself, and so on; all, however, exciting much mirth amongst the youthful and apple-eating audience. Then a young lady, with very short petticoats and very thick ancles, dances, and takes all hearts by storm. To her succeeds one who sings about true love, but not in a manner which the Shoreditch youthdom affects. Then a fool comes upon the stage, and keeps the pit in a roar, especially when he directs his wit to the three musicians who form the orchestra, and says ironically to one of them, "You could not drink a quartern of gin, could you?" and the way in which the allusion was received evidently implied that the enlightened but juvenile audience around me evidently had a very low opinion of a man who could not toss off his quartern of gin. Then we had the everlasting niggers, with the bones, and curiously-wrought long coats, and doubtful dialect and perpetual laughter, which the excited pit copiously rewarded. One boy tossed a button on the stage, another a copper, and another an apple; and so pleasing was this liberality to the supposed young men of African descent, that they did not think it beneath them, or inconsistent with their dignity as professionals, to encourage it in every possible way. And well they might. Those gay blacks very likely had little white faces at home dependent on the liberality of the house for next day's crust. But the treat of the evening was a screaming farce, in one act, in which the old tale of "Taming the Shrew" was set forth in the most approved Shoreditch fashion. A husband comes upon the stage, whose wife - I would not be ungallant, but conscientious regard to truth compels me sorrowfully to declare - is an unmitigated shrew. She lords it over her husband as no good woman ever did or wishes to do. The poor man obeys till he can stand it no longer. At length all his manhood is aroused. Armed with what he calls a persuader - a cudgel of most formidable pretensions - he astonishes his wife with his unexpected resistance. She tries to regain the mastery, but in vain; and great is the delight of all as the husband, holding his formidable instrument over his cowed and trembling wife, compels her to obey his every word. All the unwashed little urchins around me were furious with delight. There was no need for the husband to tell the audience, as he did, as the moral of the piece, that the best remedy for a bad wife was to get such another cudgel for her as that he held in his hand. It was quite clear the little Britons around me had resolved how they would act; and I fear, as they passed out to the number of about 200, few of them did not resolve, as soon as they had the chance, to drink their quartern of gin and to whop their wives.
On another occasion it chanced to me to visit a penny gaff in that dark and dolorous region, the New Cut. There the company and the entertainment were of a much lower character. A great part of the proceedings were indecent and disgusting, yet very satisfactory to the half grown girls and boys present. In the time of the earlier Georges we read much of the brutality of the lower orders. If we may believe cotemporary writers on men and manners, never was the theatre so full - never was the audience so excited - never did the scum and refuse of the streets so liberally patronise the entertainment as when deeds of violence and blood were the order of the night. This old savage spirit is dying out, but in the New Cut I fear it has not given way to a better one.

It may not be here out of place to make more definite
allusion to the “pitfalls” above-mentioned. Pitfall broadest and deepest is
the theatrical exhibition, known as the “penny gaff.” Some considerable
time since I wrote on this subject in the columns of the “Morning Star;” and
as precisely the old order of things prevails, and the arguments then used
against them apply with equal force now, I will, with the reader’s permission,
save myself further trouble than that which transcription involves.
Every low district of London has its theatre, or at least an humble substitute for one, called in vulgar parlance a “gaff.” A gaff is a place in which, according to the strict interpretation of the term, stage plays may not be represented. The actors of a drama may not correspond in colloquy, only in pantomime, but the pieces brought out at the “gaff” are seldom of an intricate character, and the not over-fastidious auditory are well content with an exhibition of dumb show and gesture, that even the dullest comprehension may understand. The prices of admission to these modest temples of the tragic muse, are judiciously regulated to the means of the neighbourhood, and range from a penny to threepence. There is no “half-price for children,” and for the simple reason that such an arrangement would reduce the takings exactly fifty per cent. They are all children who support the gaff. Costermonger boys and girls, from eight or nine to fourteen years old, and errand boys and girls employed at factories. As before mentioned, every district has its own “gaff.” There is one near Peter Street, Westminster; a second in the New Cut, at Lambeth; a third in Whitecross Street; a fourth, fifth, and sixth between Whitechapel Church and Ratcliff Highway. It may, without fear of contradiction, be asserted, that within a circuit of five miles of St. Paul’s, at least twenty of these dangerous dens of amusement might be enumerated.
At best of times they are dangerous. The best of times being when current topics of a highly sensational character are lacking, and the enterprising manager is compelled to fall back on some comparatively harmless stock piece. But the “gaff” proprietor has an eye to business, and is a man unlikely to allow what he regards as his chances to slip by him. He at once perceives a chance in the modern mania that pervades the juvenile population for a class of literature commonly known as “highly sensational.” He has no literature to vend, but he does not despair on that account. He is aware that not one in five of the youth who honour his establishment with their patronage can read. If he, the worthy gaff proprietor, had any doubts on the subject, he might settle them any day by listening at his door while an admiring crowd of “regular Customers” flocking thereto speculated on the pleasures of the night as foretold in glowing colours on the immense placards that adorn the exterior of his little theatre. They can understand the Pictures well enough, but the descriptive legends beneath them are mysteries to which few possess the key. If these few are maliciously reticent, the despair of the benighted ones is painful to witness, as with puckered mouths and knitted brows they essay to decipher the strange straight and crooked characters, and earnestly consult with each other as to when and where they had seen the like. Failing in this, the gaff proprietor may have heard them exclaim in tones of but half-assured consolation, “Ah, well! it doesn’t matter what the reading is; the piece won’t be spoke, it’ll be acted, so we are sure to know all about it when we come to-night.”
..... It is one thing to read about the flashing and slashing of steel blades, and of the gleam of pistol barrels, and the whiz of bullets, and of the bold highwayman’s defiant “ha! ha!” as he cracks the skull of the coach-guard, preparatory to robbing the affrighted passengers; but to be satisfactory the marrow and essence of the blood-stirring tragedy can only be conveyed to him in bodily shape. There are many elements of a sanguinary drama that may not well be expressed in words. As, for instance, when Bill Bludjon, after having cut the throat of the gentleman passenger, proceeds to rob his daughter, and finding her in possession of a locket with some grey hair in it, he returns it to her with the observation, “Nay, fair lady, Bill Bludjon may be a thief: in stern defence of self he may occasionally shed blood, but, Perish the Liar who says of him that he respects not the grey hairs of honourable age!” There is not much in this as set down in print. To do Bill justice, you must see how his noble countenance lights as his generous bosom heaves with chivalrous sentiments; how defiantly he scowls, and grinds his indignant teeth as he hisses the word “Liar!”—how piously he turns his eyes heaven-ward as he alludes to “honourable old age.” It is in these emotional subtleties that the hero rises out of the vulgar robber with his villanous Whitechapel cast of countenance, and his great hands, hideous with murder stains, must be witnessed to be appreciated. It is the gaff proprietor’s high aim and ambition to effect this laudable object, and that he does so with a considerable amount of, at least, Pecuniary success, is proved by his “crowded houses” nightly.
Now that the police are to be roused to increased vigilance in the suppression, as well as the arrest of criminality, it would be as well if those in authority directed their especial attention to these penny theatres. As they at present exist, they are nothing better than hot-beds of vice in its vilest forms. Girls and boys of tender age are herded together to witness the splended achievements of “dashing highwaymen,” and of sirens of the Starlight Sall school; nor is this all. But bad as this is, it is really the least part of the evil. The penny “gaff” is usually a small place, and when a specially atrocious piece produces a corresponding “run,” the “house” is incapable of containing the vast number of boys and girls who nightly flock to see it. Scores would be turned away from the doors, and their halfpence wasted, were it not for the worthy proprietor’s ingenuity. I am now speaking of what I was an actual witness of in the neighbourhood of Shoreditch. Beneath the pit and stage of the threatre was a sort of large kitchen, reached from the end of the passage, that was the entrance to the theatre by a flight of steep stairs. There were no seats in this kitchen, nor furniture of any kind. There was a window looking toward the street, but this was prudently boarded up. At night time all the light allowed in the kitchen proceeded from a feeble and dim gas jet by the wall over the fire-place.
Wretched and dreary-looking as was this underground chamber, it was a source of considerable profit to the proprietor of the “gaff” overhead. As before stated, when anything peculiarly attractive was to be seen, the theatre filled within ten minutes of opening the besieged doors. Not to disappoint the late corners, however, all who pleased might pay and go downstairs until the performance just commenced (it lasted generally about an hour and a half) terminated. The prime inducement held out was, that “then they would be sure of good seats.” The inevitable result of such an arrangement may be easier guessed than described. For my part, I know no more about it than was to be derived from a hasty glance from the stair-head. There was a stench of tobacco smoke, and an uproar of mingled youthful voices—swearing, chaffing, and screaming, in boisterous mirth. This was all that was to be heard, the Babel charitably rendering distinct pronouncing of blasphemy or indecency unintelligible. Nor was it much easier to make out the source from when the hideous clamour proceeded, for the kitchen was dim as a coal cellar, and was further obscured by the foul tobacco smoke the lads were emitting from their short pipes. A few were romping about—”larking,” as it is termed—but the majority, girls and boys, were squatted on the floor, telling and listening to stories, the quality of which might but too truly be guessed from the sort of applause they elicited. A few—impatient of the frivolity that surrounded them, and really anxious for “the play”—stood apart, gazing with scowling envy up at the ceiling, on the upper side of which, at frequent intervals, there was a furious clatter of hobnailed boots, betokening the delirious delight of the happy audience in full view of Starlight Sall, in “silk tights” and Hessians, dancing a Highland fling. Goaded to desperation, one or two of the tormented ones down in the kitchen reached up with their sticks and beat on the ceiling a tattoo, responsive to the battering of the hobnailed boots before mentioned. This, however, was a breach of “gaff” rule that could not be tolerated. With hurried steps the proprietor approached the kitchen stairs, and descried me. “This ain’t the theeater; you’ve no business here, sir!” said he, in some confusion, as I imagined. “No, my friend, I have no business here, but you have a very pretty business, and one for which, when comes the Great Day of Reckoning, I would rather you answered than me.” But I only thought this; aloud, I made the gaff proprietor an apology, and thankfully got off his abominable premises.

You all laughed at this video of Charlene Werner explaining the physics of homeopathy.
But did you know that videos like this, where kooks are caught in the act, are endangered? It turns out that kooks don’t like it when their words are made public, especially when those words are so loony that they invite universal derision. The person who put that video on youtube has been sent an odd letter:
Dr Charlene Werner
I thought you would like to know that you will be contacted by Dr Werner’s Attorney shortly regarding her video. The posting of this video is in violation of copyright laws. We are aware that you have had this video up since March of ’08 however I suggest you delete it immediately.
(This was sent to XanSimpson, not Charlene Werner, so the salutation is a bit confusing.)
Anyway, XanSimpson wants to know what to do. As is common practice in these cases, the answer is obvious: everyone who can should make a copy of the video. More people should link to it. Spread the word and share the information — let her threat of a takedown lead to greater dissemination of her words.
Welcome to the internet, Charlene.

A Croatian big game hunter was preparing to shoot a lion during a hunting expedition in South Africa when he himself was shot and killed.
Pero Jelinic, whose friends say had "hunted everything that could be hunted in Europe," had already killed one lion and was sighting in a second Saturday at a remote lodge near Setiagole, according to Total Croatia News.
Initially, the bullet that hit Jelinic was described as "stray," but police are now investigating the incident as a possible homicide.
The lions were captive-bred. They had been farm-raised to be hunted in a legal yet controversial sport often called "canned hunting."
Well it's about time the lions started shooting back.
You know I am not much of a fan of hunting in the first place, but what possible challenge is it to kill animals hand raised by other humans?
I mean it would be just as macho as using a high powered rifle to pick off family pets in people's backyards.
Asshole deserves to die.


The Porsche Cajun crossover is inching closer to production as the company has announced plans to build the model in Leipzig, Germany.
Porsche has announced plans to build the new Cajun crossover in Leipzig, Germany.
As part of the gear up for production, the company will expand the factory and install a new assembly line and paint shop. Furthermore, Porsche estimates they will create at least one thousand new jobs.
According to Porsche CEO Matthias Müller, "During the production of the Cayenne and the Panamera, our Leipzig plant has impressively proved that it can produce premium vehicles of highest quality. The decision in favor of this location is proof of our trust in the skills and qualifications of our Leipzig associates, and at the same time another contribution to the economic advancement of the region."
As we have previously reported, the Cajun will be based on the Audi Q5 and feature a design influenced by Walter de' Silva. The model will likely be launched in 2014 and compete with the Mercedes GLK, BMW X3, and Land Rover Evoque.


Well, there are 2 issues at play here.Forget Trump. He is hardly the 'stable genius' he claimed to be. Stable is barely and genius definitely not. All Trump did was followed what his conservative aides told him the base wanted. No one have any confidence that Trump have any intellectual capacity to discuss, let alone debate, the abortion rights issue.
No, they are not. That does not mean the Republicans at large, hard core base and moderates, are unconcerned about the consequences of this decision. But as many observers noted, the Virginia governor election should have been taken more seriously by the Democrats when post election polling have abortion rights lower in priority. Glenn Youngkin did not run on RvW but on parental rights and economics, and won.
Here is the main problem...Abortion rights is non-constitutional. Not un-constitutional. To be un-constitutional means to be ANTAGONISTIC or HOSTILE to the US Constitution in both principle and text. To be non-constitutional mean does not exist, at least in text, and that is what the latest SCOTUS decision mean.
The 10th Amendment say:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people”.
So how would you get the federal government involved? By what is called 'emanation and penumbra'. Basically, absent text, you interpret what you want to be linked to basic rights and liberties that the federal government is tasked by the Constitution to protect and prevent others from violating.
How this mysterious trinity of privacy, penumbra and emanations had eluded legal scholars for the then 176 years of our constitutional history was (and is) a question left unaddressed by the court.
If your interpretation, as presented in court, is successful, then the federal government is legally obligated to act despite absent explicit text in the Constitution.
Most of us are comfortable with one degree of separation, pretty much arm's length metaphorically speaking, and will support the linkage. But when a side issue is two degrees or more removed from the main issue, then all of us begins to diverge from unanimity, create subgroups, and defend our positions. When you have to interpret something, that is the start of that two or more degrees of separation and also the start of conflicts. Absent explicit text, what abortion rights proponents did was interpret how abortion is constitutionally protected and that argument was so weak that even today, Democratically minded legal scholars admitted that RvW was constitutionally problematic. Scholars no less than the notorious RBG herself.
When Ginsburg was confirmed to the Supreme Court 25 years ago, she explained whytime.com
So it might come as a surprise that, though she made history by endorsing abortion rights during her confirmation hearing, Ginsburg had well-known reservations about Roe.
What happened today is the prominence of the 10th. No text, no federal government involvement.
1.) Whether or not Abortion is within the right of our constitution. Which mean whether or not the due process clause of 14th amendment applies.
2.) As Justice Roberts states. If this is not a constitutional issue, then SCOTUS should not have the power to struck down the case, instead they should have gone back to the original case base and retried the case. That's why Roberts concur on the Dobbs v Jackson Women Health case, but Dissent when they over turn Roe v Wade.
Personally, I am leaning on 14 amendment did not applies on abortion issue, they really should have codify it after Roe v Wade, that is not a secure strategy. That's a personal choice, like whether or not you will get a driver license, I mean if there should not have guaranteed right for you to have a driver license, then there should also be no right to guarantee you to have an abortion
On the other hand, saying Abortion issue is not a constitution issue and therefore the SCOTUS does not have the power to judge the first time around does not negate the legal challenge gone with the SCOTUS washing their hands. That legal challenge would still remain, and don't forget Roe won the case in Federal Court level, and you cannot simply just say "this is not a constitutional issue" and ignore the original ruling. If this is a constitutional issue, and SCOTUS voted it did or did not violate our constitutional right, that would have been another issue, but the fact that they said there are no standing on the issue means they should move the case back to district court or Texas Supreme Court and have a retrial there..

If you are wondering where the second gen replacements for the Ryzen 3 1300X and Ryzen 5 1500X processors are, we might have the answer. Hong Kong based XFastest, via OC3D, has shared CPU-Z screenshots, preliminary overclocking, and Cinebench scores for two previously unseen processors; the AMD Ryzen 3 2300X, and the Ryzen 5 2500X. Though this is interesting to see, please take such 'leaks' with a pinch of salt.
As explained in a number of reviews on HEXUS over the last few months, the AMD Ryzen 2000 series of processors, second gen Ryzen CPUs, benefit from a new 12nm process. AMD said that the shrink enables the transistors to run faster at the same voltage, thereby offering 10-15 per cent performance uplift compared to 14nm across the clock spectrum. Additionally, Ryzen 2000 processors introduce Precision Boost 2, and have had their microarchitectures subjected to a bit of spit, polish and tuning since the last gen.
Refocusing on the latest leak, the AMD Ryzen 2300X and 2500X processors sport the following key specs:
- Ryzen 3 2300X: 4C/4T, 3.5/4.0GHz base/boost, 10MB Smart cache, and 65W TDP
- Ryzen 5 2500X: 4C/8T, 3.6/4.0GHz base/boost, 10MB Smart cache, and 65W TDP
It was noted by XFastest that overclocking either of the new processors to 4.3GHz was easily accomplished, though they did use a liquid cooler with a 240mm radiator, I gather from the Google translation. Under these conditions the Ryzen 5 2500X, in a system with 16GB dual channel DDR4-3600 RAM, managed a Cinebench score of 1006cb.
Some further Cinebench tests were performed using the Ryzen 3 2300X and LN2 cooling. The HK-based site said that with this extreme cooling they could muster a single core speed of 4458MHz but had to tune down to 5500MHz for reliable all-core performance. Further tests are in progress.
If you are interested in the above new AMD processors they will likely emerge within the next two months in the wake or alongside the release of AMD B450 motherboards.

The Vermont Constitution Article 6 (Officer servants of the people) reads as follows: That all power being originally inherent consequently derived from the people, therefore, all officers of government, whether legislative or executive, are their trustees and servants; and at all times, in a legal way, accountable to them.
This article is beautifully and simply written. No matter your political party, race, religion, worldview or sexuality, government officers are trustees and servants to YOU their constituents. This is because all power is originally inherent, (inseparably attached or connected), and derived from the people.
If elected I will be your public servant charged with defending you and protecting YOUR individual rights, regardless of MY personal or religious beliefs. This is something I take very seriously. I am not running for State Representative as a career move. I believe in a citizen run legislature with term limits for all offices.
You can rest assured I will defend YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS to live however you choose.

A 20-year-old male asked:
my 13 years old son got hair dandruff and hairfall, he got checked and for dandruff it is controlled (but doc said hairloss is his hair nature)?

Specializes in Family Medicine
May need dermatology: Were you told that your 13 year old son has permanent hair loss due to hereditary hair loss? It is not unusual to see temporary hair loss in adolescents especially if there is sickness or poor nutrition. Is permanent hair loss at such an early age typical in your family or his father's family? If not, then you may want to have a dermatologist review your son's condition. Hope that helps.

Return to Doctor: Tinea Capitis, a scalp fungal infection; can appear similar to a dandruff condition. Symptoms of flaking, itching, dryness overlap in both conditions however hair loss is a key feature in fungal scalp infection; is also contagious & can be spread to other close contacts. Treated with oral medication, topicals are not effective. See your doctor for re-evaluation or referral to a Dermatologist.

So much talk over so many years about #genderequality and #diversity, yet we still have a long way to go. I’m hoping that this is not just the flavour of the day that was given more attention during the pandemic lockdown.
We are not going to resolve gender parity and diversity issues by government policies alone or by some enlightened #businessleadership speaking up and promoting a few #women and visible minorities. The joint action of the public and private sectors here in Canada and worldwide is essential.
Starting with #education, the way girls and boys are educated and socialized, we can ensure that current and future generations will live in a world without discrimination based on gender and other identities.
Isabelle Hudon said it so eloquently –
« We need to think about actions that make girls and women visible, audible, where we ensure their safety and education. We need to identify specific actions that are relevant to different geographies, realities and cultures. »
We all benefit from #diversityandinclusion .
See the video Their Generation Equality: Isabelle Hudon
See the BIG picture. Focus on what’s important.

8:20 a.m. — San Antonio
Good day, all. I hope you are well. I am settled in San Antonio for the next couple of weeks, so posts may come out a little later in the day. Depends how quickly I can get my brain going. Hmmm. Maybe another cup of coffee before I continue. Ahhh… Much better. They sell a lovely pecan roast here at the local grocery.
Today we are going to look at a relatively new form, the etheree. The etheree even sounds lovely doesn’t it? The form depends on a syllable count and can be easy or difficult depending. If you only worry about the syllables, the poem is easy. If you want to craft a good poem, you have to worry about line endings and making sure the end words are strong and not something like ‘a’. Then things can be a little trickier.
The poem is ten lines. The first line has one syllable, the second has two, the third has three, and on until the tenth line which has ten. Jim Wilson, whose blog on etherees I will give you a link to later, describes the process as an unfolding, which gave me the idea for my example etheree. As you read an etheree and each line increases by one syllable, the poem does give a feeling of unfolding or opening up.
There are also reverse etherees, where we start with ten syllables in the first line and work down to one syllable in the tenth line. And, the double etheree where we can write a regular etheree and then immediately a reverse etheree. Plenty of room for play. I haven’t tried these two but will because I enjoyed the process of writing the original form.
slowly, with care,
is like unfolding
a map to a new place,
revealing unknown features,
facets of a poem waiting
to be read and reread, exploring
new trails, paths, roads, byways – even new worlds.
You can find a good article on etherees and their history on Jim Wilson’s blog: Shaping Words.
Let me see your etherees. I have been enjoying your poems to past exercises tremendously. Remember to ask questions if you have them. Keep thinking about topics you might want me to talk about on my Thursday Thoughts. Week after this I shall discuss the poetic inversion, a topic offered by Vivienne Blake. This week’s Thursday Thoughts I will share some language links I think you will enjoy. Friday we will have the roundup and next Tuesday’s Tryout will be an open exercise. That’s right. I’m going to let you choose the form.

Happy playing and writing, everyone.

When, at 16 years old, Kwame is stabbed to death by a local gang, the lives, feelings and fears of the young perpetrators and the police officers investigating the crime are exposed in full. This drama helps us to understand why some of our youth would arm themselves and commit devastating acts of violence.
Fallout was written as a passionate and powerful reflection on race, law and order in the aftermath of the Stephen Lawrence and Damilola Taylor cases - and has been rewritten in light of the recent escalation in youth violence. Acclaimed writer Roy Williams is unflinching in capturing the culture and circumstances that are wrecking young lives.
Roy Williams says: 'I remember following the Damilola Taylor Case, and the feelings that I had. Anger with the killers, anger with whoever had let those kids down. I felt it was important as well as necessary to write a piece that allowed all my feelings, and the feelings of those kids and police to be expressed.'

James Altucher, who might best be described as a renaissance man, recently wrote a sobering piece about New York City. Altucher is bearish on the city’s future for a variety of reasons.
I don’t quite share his pessimism, especially considering all of the variables likely to affect a NYC comeback—the widespread availability of a vaccine, government policy, “pandemic fatigue,” technological innovations, etc. But I am confident in saying that if the city resists tearing down the barriers to innovation—high taxes, burdensome regulations and gratuitous mandates—recovery will be all the more difficult.
I say this as someone who lives in Upstate New York and doesn’t have an insider’s perspective about NYC, but I do understand the power of free enterprise to make life better.
Unfortunately, NYC’s policy climate has not been very friendly to innovation. According to a Reason Foundation report, NYC ranks 49 out of 52 on the U.S. economic freedom index for metropolitan statistical areas. This is relevant because research indicates that economic freedom can positively impact outcomes like income, employment and population growth.
People, when free from government coercion, have an innate ability to serve others in the pursuit of their own interests. It’s this process—one that allows for innovation and production—that creates wealth for everyone. In order to carry out this process easily, companies often use open innovation platforms such as ideXlab. These platforms enable you to determine the sectors that require your expertise and solutions so that you can provide unforgettable experiences.
What then are the policy implications to be drawn from this fact? As a start, NYC needs to reduce its bloated budget and high tax burden on people at all income levels. This will put more money back in the private sector, where resources are allocated based on consumer demand and entrepreneurial foresight rather than political preferences.
Another important step would be to loosen zoning restrictions. As Altucher points out in his piece, many businesses have switched to working from home, emptying floors of office buildings in the process. This could be a permanent move given the ease of tele-commuting. One way to combat this new problem of ghost buildings is to allow for rezoning, paving the way for vacant office space to become new housing—as suggested by Eric Kober of the Manhattan Institute.
Officials should also consider eliminating minimum wage and paid sick leave mandates for businesses looking to hire. Some have estimated that the pandemic and shutdowns have led to the closure of approximately 3,000 NYC businesses. For those businesses lucky enough to remain open, adding to their pain and the pain of people looking for work with costly mandates is unconscionable.
Innovation in education is also a critical component of a NYC comeback. Families with students in the district should be allowed to take their education dollars and use it for the school of their choice. NYC’s school reopening plan, which includes having students in class part-time, is not a viable option for many parents who don’t have the resources to watch or educate their children at home during the school year. Expanding school choice allows parents to find the school that’s best for their child while giving them the flexibility they need to work outside of the home if tele-commuting or hiring a childcare provider isn’t an option.
This next solution seems obvious but may be the most controversial. Officials must allow NYC to fully reopen. I understand concerns about a potential second wave hitting the city, but the unintended consequences of a prolonged economic shutdown could be worse. The decision about attending a Broadway play or eating inside a restaurant—and the risk involved—should be shifted to each individual, not decided by the government.
Risk tolerance varies by person, and so I imagine some people will visit NYC again if they’re confident it won’t be closed for business by the time they arrive. Others may stay away until a vaccine is available. That’s how the freedom of choice works. And it’s preferable to the one-size-fits-all paternalism imposed on us over the last several months.
Top down dictates from government squash innovation. They hinder entrepreneurs from meeting consumer needs. And they prevent people from adapting to their environment. If NYC is going to make a comeback, people need to be free to take risks again.
It’s time for the city that never sleeps to awake from its temporary slumber.

This all started to happened when I bought the k70 keyboard and installed the iCUE application from corsair for my keyboard and since my cooler H80i v2 for my cpu is corsair it was added to the application. I noticed that the rpms on my fan for my cpu go up and the noise sounds like my pc will be taking off. The settings in the iCUE application are set to quiet for the fan and pump but the temperature for when the fans should pick up speed is not on there.
currently core0 is at 50% load as we speak the other 5 cores at less than 10% load. I am using Core Temp 1.13 to monitor them. I noticed the H80i v2 fans speed up when gaming and it is really loud.

It appears that Everton striker Fraser Hornby is enjoying being away from the hustle and bustle of Liverpool as he discusses his life at loan club KV Kortrijk.
Everton’s talented Scottish striker joined the Belgian side on a season-long loan deal in the summer. As reported by the Belgian club, Kortrijk also have the option to make the deal permanent should Hornby prove a success with De Kerels.
This week he has been speaking about his life at his new club, as reported on the club’s official Twitter account.
It appears that Hornby is enjoying the peaceful side of life in Belgium.
“Kortrijk is a very beautiful city. I love the tranquillity that prevails there.
“The fans are very passionate and hopefully, I can please them.”
There is no doubt that Kortrijk is not the metropolis Hornby has been used to on Merseyside. A population of 76,265 is some way behind Liverpool’s dense 466,400 recorded in the 2011 census. It is even quainter than the 225,146 populated Northampton where Hornby grew up prior to his 2014 Everton switch.
It seems that the Scotland under-21 international is enjoying that side of things as he looks to focus on his football and become a hit in Belgium.
Everton fans will no doubt hope Hornby can thrive in his new surroundings, even if it means he does end up leaving the club next summer.

The absolutely delicious tea Kusmi now has an organic little sister – LØV organic. I know that Kusmi is a French brand – but they are super popular in the Nordic countries AND they have chosen a Nordic name for the product: Løv – which means leaf. And as they state on their website:
“Løv Organic is inspired by the Scandinavian way of life,
combining pleasure and ecology in an organic range
that makes everyday life more beautiful.”
We love the concept and the jars are very cute.

Last weekend’s Giants rookie mini-camp turned out to be extremely beneficial to four players who impressed the coaching staff and were signed to contracts as a result of their work on the field.
The Giants signed running back Kenneth Harper (Temple), receiver Ben Edwards (Richmond), tight end Will Tye (Stony Brook) and defensive tackle Carlif Taylor (Southern Connecticut).
To make room on the roster, the Giants waived linebacker James Davidson and safety Thomas Gordon and terminated the contract of running back Chris Ogbonnaya.
These are bottom-of-the-roster moves, but every year a few undrafted free agents make the team.
Harper played in 48 games (21 starts) at Temple, where he gained 1,113 rushing yards and scored 17 touchdowns in his career. Edwards caught 207 passes for 2,196 yards and 15 TDs in four years at Richmond. Tye started his college career at Florida State and ended it at Stony Brook, where in two seasons he had 79 receptions for 1,015 yards and nine TDs. The 319-pound Taylor, a New York City native who attended Cardinal Hayes High School, was a two-time All-Northeast-10 Conference selection.
Ogbonnaya played on special teams in the last two games of the 2014 season. Davidson appeared in two games last season and Gordon spent time on the practice squad.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Finisar shares are trading lower this morning after Jefferies analyst James Kisner cut his rating on the stock to Hold form Buy, with a new target of $22, down from $24. In particular, he sees a new competitive threat from the recent announcement that Cisco plans to buy the startup Lightwire.
"Our checks suggest that investors may currently underestimate the potential risks posed by the recently announced acquisition of Lightwire by Cisco," Kisner writes. "Given this incremental risk and a valuation that is no longer particularly compelling, we’re downgrading Finisar shares. At this point we'd rather see investors rotate into JDSU given its relatively greater exposure to rebounding service provider capex.
The analyst writes that his discussions with industry contacts suggest that Cisco plans to launch proprietary interfaces for high speed interconnects using Lightwire technology by July 2013. "Our checks suggest that this technology is potentially very disruptive, reducing the cost of 100G solutions by 90% while increasing platform density," he writes. "We estimate that only 5-10% of Finisar’s current revenue is at risk as a result of the Lightwire acquisition, but we’re concerned that this portion of Finisar’s revenue stream is among the fastest growing."
Kisner inches up his EPS forecast for the April 2012 fiscal year to 91 cents, from 90 cents, but he cuts FY 2013 to $1.45 a share from $1.60.
FNSR this morning is up 41 cents, or 1.8%, to $22.61.

Why am I crocheting inside out?
I did some research and it turns out that when you start crocheting in the round, the outside or “right side” is facing you. As you add more rounds and it gets taller, the stitches curl up and the right side becomes the inside of your piece.
Which is right and wrong side of crochet?
The right side of the chain is smooth, and you can see each stitch clearly. The wrong side has a small bumpy loop on each stitch. … When you’re talking about the right or wrong side of a piece of crocheted fabric, the first row of stitches (not counting the foundation chain) is generally considered the right side.
What is the difference between crochet and amigurumi?
Amigurumi is essentially the same as crochet, only it refers specifically to the process of making 3D toys. Crochet uses a range of techniques, whereas amigurumi almost always involves working in the round, making spheres which are then stuffed to form the limbs of some adorable little animals.
What causes crochet to curl?
Stitches that are worked too tightly together result in a stiff fabric, which often causes the corners to curl in. To fix this problem, try stretching the fabric. That just might loosen up the stitches and allow the piece to lie flat. … One way to prevent curled corners is by simply loosening your stitches.

JEFF PRESTRIDGE: Answer the phone - it's a simple message
SHOCKING. That is the only word to describe customer service at Santander bank. Financial Mail has been deluged in the past two weeks with complaints from readers about the Spanish-owned bank.
In nearly all cases, the complaints have come from long-standing Abbey or Alliance & Leicester customers - brands that have been taken over by Santander. And nearly all are first-time complainers. Until Santander came along, they were generally happy with the service they had received.
What is so damning about the administrative maelstrom at Santander is that the complaints relate mostly to simple errors - or example, a name on an account typed incorrectly on the bank's systems, a refund on a closed credit card not processed or a branch failing to carry out routine procedures properly because of poor staff training.
Fury: Customer service at Santander is shocking, writes Jeff Prestridge
What all this points to is lamentable underinvestment by
Santander in customer service. Training, it seems, is inadequate at
both branch and call centre level while the call centre system causes
more complaints than it solves.
This is because complaints are not
dealt with immediately, often it seems because authority is required
elsewhere in the organisation, or customers are not allocated a
dedicated complaints handler. As a result, they are bounced around the
system, becoming increasingly frustrated.
Financial Mail is delighted that Santander has resolved most of the complaints we have raised. But it should not have taken the intervention of a national newspaper and the involvement of Santander's 'media and executive complaints' department to sort out routine errors. They should be sorted out quickly without fuss.
Santander seems keen to improve the situation. If so, it should
take a lesson from Hargreaves Lansdown, a growing financial adviser
business with profits of £86million for the year to the end of June.
Departing chief executive Peter Hargreaves said last week: 'When
somebody rings us, a real person answers the phone and usually answers
the question. When we say we are going to phone back, we do.
'If you don't ring people back, they ring you again. If you don't
write to them, they write again. If customers have to use an automated
phone service to reach the right person to make a complaint, they're
normally infuriated by the time they get to that person. It's not
Santander, please pass on the message to your Mission Control.

Investigators are looking into whether the Army major behind the Fort Hood rampage is linked to or influenced by an extremist Muslim cleric who was the imam at two U.S. mosques where some Sept. 11 hijackers worshiped.
The cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, now lives in Yemen, but before leaving several years ago he headed the Falls Church, Va., mosque that Maj. Nidal Hasan attended and where his mother's funeral was held May 31, 2001.
Today, Awlaki posted a statement on his website praising Hasan for the shootings, which left 13 dead and 30 wounded. He also said Muslims who denounced the attack were hypocrites.
The Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center responded in turn by denouncing Awlaki, who moved to Yemen after the FBI investigated him following the 2001 U.S. terror attacks. He admitted he made contact with two of the hijackers when he was in San Diego, but denied any knowledge of the plot. He was never charged with any crime.
"As we understand the teaching of the scriptures, our mission and method as Americans of faith is to enrich our society with service, wisdom and beautiful preaching of God's love and mercy to all of mankind," the mosque's statement said.
While imam, the statement continued, Awlaki's "public speech was consistent with the values of tolerance and cooperation." After returning to Yemen, however, he changed his tone and "has clearly set himself apart from Muslims in America. We continue to send our condolences and prayers for recovery of all the victims of this godless act."
Meanwhile, ABC News reports that U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Hasan was trying to contact people associated with al Qaeda, but it's not known whether they alerted the Army.
Keep reading for excerpts from Awlaki's statement.
Updated at 7:02 p.m. ET: A U.S. official tells AP that Hasan sent "electronic communications" to Awlaki that U.S. counterterrorism officials intercepted, but an investigation was dropped because the contacts were not deemed to suggest a threat.
Updated at 7:52 p.m. ET: Hasan will be charged in a military court, the Associated Press is reporting.
(Posted by Michael Winter)
The NEFA Foundation posted a translation of Awlaki's statment. Here are excerpts:
"Nidal Hassan is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people. This is a contradiction that many Muslims brush aside and just pretend that it doesn't exist. Any decent Muslim cannot live, understanding properly his duties towards his Creator and his fellow Muslims, and yet serve as a US soldier. The US is leading the war against terrorism which in reality is a war against Islam. Its army is directly invading two Muslim countries and indirectly occupying the rest through its stooges. ...
"The heroic act of brother Nidal also shows the dilemma of the Muslim American community. Increasingly they are being cornered into taking stances that would either make them betray Islam or betray their nation. Many amongst them are choosing the former. The Muslim organizations in America came out in a pitiful chorus condemning Nidal's operation. ...
"The fact that fighting against the US army is an Islamic duty today cannot be disputed. ... The American Muslims who condemned his actions have committed treason against the Muslim Ummah and have fallen into hypocrisy."
His full, translated statement is here.
U.S. investigators are studying Awlaki's sermons to see how they might have influenced Hasan, who was born in Virginia.
An investigator for NEFA writes that "they should be keeping an especially close eye out for one such al-Awlaki sermon in particular — "Constants on the Path of Jihad."
Awlaki's name and that sermon "seem to surface in every single homegrown terrorism investigation, whether in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, or beyond," writes Evan Kohlmann of NEFA.
