It has been about ten years since the last books centred on Penelope and the Odyssey were published,1 and Clayton's (hereafter C.) book shows that questions concerning Penelope and the Odyssean poetics have not been exhausted yet. The task of the book is easily summarized. The author tries to define Penelope's voice or poetics and links it to the web that the heroine weaves, unweaves and reweaves. Her voice is not only a different one, but builds a (gendered) difference that not only may be traced in the Odyssey itself, but also in scholarly texts written in the last 150 years and in the literary heritage that followed the poem. Thanks to its point of view and scope the book may not only engage the attention of classicists, but also of a wide public interested in feminine and feminist literature or poetry in general. Unfortunately the accomplishments of the book are irregular, as I will try to sketch below.
C.'s book is fluently and well written. There are only a few print problems, for example, Pedick for Pedrick (p. 14, n. 63, and p. 134) and Olsen for Olson (p. 26, n. 16, and p. 134). All Greek is translated and many aspects of the Odyssey and some characteristics of oral poetry are briefly explained, so that it will not be difficult to non-classicists to get through the book. It lacks an index of passages, and the index of key words has some problems.
In the first chapter, C. examines two groups of texts concerned with the Odyssey. The first one is composed by 36 handbooks of Greek literature and general works on Homer published between 1858 and 1997, all of them listed in an appendix. By means of them C. reveals a curious reception history of the poem among a representative number of scholars. The second group is constituted of texts that concentrate on the Odyssey, particularly some books and articles of the last decades concerned with Penelope's characterization. The first group allows C. to uncover, not without some fine irony, two traits that commonly underlie an evaluation of the poem: 1) weaving is a metaphor widely used in reference to the plot complexity of the poem; and 2) the Odyssey is feminine or inferior in comparison to the Iliad. C. shows for instance that even Samuel Butler did not really praise what he identified as feminine in the poem. Through the second group C. sets the benchmarks of her own study. After presenting the texts of some authors who have discussed the poem's gender ideology in a more subtle way, particularly the possibility of considering Penelope a quasi-feminist heroine, C. announces the books of Katz and Papadopoulou-Belmehdi (see note 1) as her own starting point.
Chapter two is central to the book. Here C. defines her Penelopean or unweaving poetics, gendered as feminine. She establishes a set of connections between weaving, μήτις and poetry pertinent to a poem that is essentially self-referential, insofar as much of it is composed of stories told by some of its characters. Penelope, Odysseus and Athena are the three main plotters of the poem, contrivers of schemes and storytellers at the same time. C. associates Athena, the controller of the Odyssean plot, with poetry because she assumes that the Greeks were familiar with an association of weaving and poetry. Odysseus, the principal storyteller of the poem, is presented in a complementary, tension-free relation to the goddess. He is the one who shows himself as a master of μήτις in the Cyclops' episode. Nevertheless, more important to C.'s purposes is the depiction of Penelope, especially her web trick. The author defends that Penelope must have (re)woven a story on her web, so that the audience can understand her to be a bard figure of a kind similar to Odysseus. That is not all. C. weaves parallels between the 1) repetition of Penelope's weaving/unweaving process, 2) the unique threefold repetition of the shroud story in the Odyssey and 3) the repetition characteristic of oral poetry, in order to demonstrate her reading of the bardic nature of Penelope and her activities. Penelope, more fundamentally than Odysseus, forces the audience to think about the poem's composition. The purpose of such a reading is clear: Penelope appears as a woman with her own voice or écriture, and her web is an action or process that brings ambiguity and multiplicity into the men's world. Here we have the core of C.'s reading, based upon the works of writers like Cixous and Lacan. Finally, in order to define in which way Penelope's work is at the same time finished and unfinished, C. establishes some connections between the story of Ares and Aphrodite and the reunion of Odysseus and Penelope in Book 23. Hephaestus' net is shown to be a "text-generating sign" (p. 51), another instance of the μήτις-weaving poetry the author tries to describe. That is perhaps the weakest in C.'s set of examples to illustrate the poetics she tries to circumscribe.
In chapter three C. interprets Odysseus' lies and the scar scene between Eurycleia and the hero in terms of the Penelopean poetics she sketched in the previous chapter. The path chosen by the author reverses the usual readings of the poem: it is not Penelope's actions and discourses which mirror Odysseus' notorious ability, but quite the opposite. Odysseus' lies, which he weaves thanks to his μήτις, are Penelopean discourses, by which he reweaves his identity until being found out by his old servant. In the context of the first lie (book 13), C. explains the importance of Athena's mist in producing a "constantly shifting displacement between appearance and reality" (p. 58). For the audience the only point of stability is the similarity between Odysseus and Athena. In such a scenario Odysseus acts in face of the difficulties imposed on him by Athena exactly like the "man in the middle voice" described by John Peradotto, both actively and passively.2 C. develops a further differentiation made by Peradotto between a discourse of representation and one of production. She tries to demonstrate that in the Cretan tales Odysseus devises a kind of poetic discourse based on improvisation, explicitly fictitious and moulded by the contingencies of a particular occasion (discourse of production). On the other hand, the Wandering tales are based on traditional material and aim at truth (discourse of representation). This distinction is taken one step further by supposing two bardic types: one related to the heroic world and to truth (the Wandering tales and the songs of Demodocus and Phemius), and the other to the world of a beggar and his ability to tell lies. C. shows that Odysseus' persona in the tales occupies a middle position in order to subvert different kinds of symbolic binarism, particularly by reweaving Iliadic material. There is again the ambiguous tone that characterizes the unweaving poetics, a tone that can be felt in the scar scene as well. The strong textual evidence that Eucycleia recognises Odysseus not visually but tactilely allows C. to suppose, based on feminist theory, that such a recognition is pre-eminently feminine: "The source of the story rather than the story itself, i.e., the narrative point of view, is Penelopean: elusive, multiple, and ambiguous" (p. 78). Finally, C. argues that in the lie to Laertes the audience perceives the poet himself fashioning a discourse of production. Odysseus names the trees of the orchard in a way similar to Athena when she dispels the mist in Book 13 and mentions familiar landmarks to the hero.
In the fourth chapter C. presents a plethora of authors who have woven and rewoven a Penelope close to or far away from Homer's one. By means of poems written by well-known poets like Wallace Stevens and Linda Pastam or some not so well-known like Karen Whitehill and Joseph Aulander we discover that the Penelopean poetics stick fast to the representations of Penelope through the centuries. Penelope appears as representative of a feminine discourse not only in the Odyssey but also in many texts that reread it. The highlights of this historical investigation are Joyce's Molly Bloom, whose discourse is gendered as feminine specially through its multiplicity, Dorothy Parker's poem "Penelope", a sonnet by Edmund Spenser, Theodore Weiss' "The Storeroom" -- in which Odysseus' typical instruments, "the bow and lyre, have been incorporated into the Penelopean web" (p. 111) -- and Derek Walcott's "Omeros", all of them beautifully interpreted. Some authors focus on the apparent nullity of Penelope's weaving. But this is not the predominant Penelope of the later tradition. "Penelope" frequently declares her independence from the masculine word/world, particularly by her body and her work. Penelope's heritage is not a nothingness, but a creative process.
When she examines poetry in general, C. produces fine and acute literary analysis. In chapter two she deploys her creativity too, but here the argumentation lacks rigor. C. does not convincingly demonstrate that Penelope is represented in the Odyssey as a bardic figure, a Scherazade. The evidence collected by the author is fragile. Why should more prominence be given to the pair Athena/Penelope than to the confluences among Odysseus, Athena, Hermes and Hephaestus? If retelling is what characterizes a Penelopean poetics, then the Wandering tales are discourses of production as well, because Odysseus tells them not only to the Phaeacians but also to his wife. There are many tensions or near conflicts that are completely blurred by the author, like the one between Odysseus and Athena in book 13.3 C. tries to show that Odysseus' voice and many later texts are reflections of Penelope's action, but the results effectively demonstrate the opposite. C's reading of Homer's Penelope is not really the beginning of her demonstration, but the end. As a matter of fact, chapter two should come after chapters three and four. In a poem like the Odyssey, so concerned with its own poetics and whose main character is directly and indirectly depicted as a bard, why should Penelope not be shown more explicitly to be a bard too, inasmuch as she and Odysseus plot his return together? There are some books and articles not mentioned by C. that may permit a reweaving of some of her readings.4
But C. is right to attribute a central role in the poem to Penelope. Her book certainly contributes to the discussion about the differences between an Odyssean and an Iliadic poetics, at least by insisting that Penelope's character is fundamental to them. I would like to finish by saying that to the readers who go to interpretative texts in order to find the truth about the texts they are interested in, C.'s book (particularly chapter 2) will probably be disappointing. But to the readers that seek first of all to explore different points of view than their own, this may be a useful and challenging book.

The crypto industry and Washington seemed finally ready to get along in 2021.
When Gary Gensler took over as the SEC’s chair in April, President Biden’s pick was hailed as a smart choice by some in the industry who expected the former MIT professor who’d taught blockchain to be an ally of sorts. Tw months later, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse praised senators — including outspoken crypto critic Elizabeth Warren — for “looking to understand the nuances within crypto” instead of viewing the technology as “just a fad or mostly for criminals.”
The detente turned out to be an illusion.
The crypto industry, viewed with suspicion and concern by some key politicians and regulators, found itself reeling from ever more intense scrutiny from Washington — and some smack talk from Gensler, Warren and others.
Coinbase was forced to shelve a planned product, saying the SEC threatened it with legal action. Ripple accused the agency of strong-arm tactics based on a “regulation by enforcement” approach to the industry.
In November, the $1 trillion infrastructure bill passed despite protests from the crypto industry and its supporters over language that they fear would require crypto miners, node operators and developers to report transactions to the IRS.
The battles are bound to heat up in 2022.
They will no doubt feature prominent government figures led by Gensler and Warren, Rep. Maxine Waters and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and crypto industry stalwarts led by Garlinghouse, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Block CEO Jack Dorsey.
But those individuals, while powerful, have a lot on their plates. Protocol has identified some other players — crypto execs, lobbyists, regulators, politicians — who may not have the same high public profile but will play critical and prominent roles in the debates to come.
Hester Peirce, commissioner, SEC
Appointed by President Trump in 2018, Peirce has been called “Crypto Mom” for her positions supportive of financial technology innovation and the crypto industry. Peirce has emerged as a pro-crypto foil to Gensler on the SEC. Recently, she and fellow Commissioner Elad Roisman criticized Gensler for “failing to provide clarity” on the SEC’s view of digital assets, which has also been one of the top complaints of crypto companies. Peirce doesn’t always agree with industry positions, though. She has argued, for example, that Coinbase’s proposal for a new regulator for digital assets was unnecessary.
Stu Alderoty, general counsel, Ripple
Alderoty was among those who had high hopes for the SEC under Gensler, whom he called a “refreshing” choice. But he eventually became one of Gensler’s fiercest critics on Twitter. Last week, he accused the SEC of using “‘strategic ambiguity’ and enforcement — or the threat of it — to advance its own jurisdiction rather than collaborate with other regulators.”
Kristin Smith, executive director, Blockchain Association
Smith leads the crypto industry’s major lobby group, which suffered a setback this year when it failed in its bid to remove or soften crypto-related provisions in the infrastructure bill. But Smith said the controversy was a wake-up call for the industry and enabled it to flex its lobbying muscles. Crypto companies are now better prepared for upcoming regulatory and policy battles next year — and Smith is poised to rally their forces.
Alesia Jeanne Haas, CFO, Coinbase
Haas was one of the top crypto executives who appeared before the House Financial Services Committee this month. She affirmed Coinbase’s view that “the government should regulate digital assets under a new, comprehensive framework” which should be “assigned to a single federal regulator.” A veteran Wall Street executive, Haas joined Coinbase as its first CFO in 2018 and oversees the company’s U.S. subsidiary as well.
Rep. Don Beyer
The Virginia Democrat recently introduced what is widely considered the most comprehensive proposal for regulating crypto, which includes clarifying which ones should be considered securities or commodities. It would also give the Treasury Department the power to approve stablecoins backed by the U.S. dollar. He has warned that failure to understand and regulate crypto could trigger another major financial crisis similar to the crash of 2008.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis
Lummis, the first known bitcoin owner elected to the U.S. Senate, helped lead the unsuccessful effort to change language in the infrastructure bill opposed by the crypto industry and crypto users. She’s become known for high-profile attempts to attract crypto companies to her state, such as inviting crypto miners affected by the crackdown in China: "We want you in Wyoming!"
Rohit Chopra, director, CFPB
Chopra is expected to revive the CFPB’s watchdog role at a time when tech companies are playing an increasingly dominant role in financial services, including the crypto industry. He has said the agency will focus closely on the broader consumer adoption of cryptocurrencies, particularly stablecoins. “Stablecoins are right now primarily used for speculative purposes,” he said at a House Financial Services Committee hearing in October. “But one could imagine that if it starts riding the rails of some of the large networks or big tech companies it could scale very, very quickly.”
Clothilde “Cloey” Hewlett, commissioner, California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation
Hewlett just took over the main financial regulatory agency in the home state of some of crypto’s most prominent companies and investors. She’s also leading the DFPI at a time when California has been sending strong signals that it’s taking crypto more seriously. The state this year created the Office of Financial Technology Innovation, which is part of Hewlett’s agency and will take the lead in defining new rules for fintech and crypto.
Letitia James, attorney general, New York
James has become known for tough crypto-related enforcement actions and statements. In February, she ordered Bitfinex and Tether to end all trading activity with New Yorkers, accusing the firms of overstating stablecoin reserves. In October, she ordered two crypto lenders to shut down. In March, she warned investors to take “extreme caution when investing in virtual currencies,” saying “too often, greedy industry players take unnecessary risks with investors’ money.”
Katherine Dowling, general counsel and chief compliance officer, Bitwise
Dowling spent a decade with the U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuting financial crimes before moving to the private sector. She joined the crypto asset management firm in March and has become known for advocating for more clarity in crypto regulations as she also warned against stifling innovation. “If you have too much regulation, it’s the iron fist that hurts growth and development and sends it offshore which isn’t good for a number of reasons,” she told Blockworks in September. “You want to make sure that the regulations are correct and understand businesses.”

Some people mock the idea of positive affirmations and consider them some kind of self-deception or delusion. Meanwhile, it is commonly suggested in pop psychology and spiritual books to use self-affirmations to raise confidence, considering that “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
Self-talk is what people say to themselves either out loud or as a small voice inside their head. So has it been scientifically proven that positive self-talk can make any difference at all?
According psychological studies and experiments, do self-affirmations really work?I’m a lovable person!
In a recent study that investigated the effect of self-talk, researchers chose a self-affirmation statement suggested by a self-development book: “I’m a lovable person.” Then they asked participants to repeat this statement to see how it affected their self-esteem.
Surprisingly, the researchers found that people with high self-esteem felt better when they did this, while people with low self-esteem did not; in fact, they actually felt worse!
Does this mean that self-affirmations are useful only for people with high self-esteem, and harmful for people with low self-esteem?
Can’t we use positive self-talk to help us when we feel down?Custom-made Affirmation
Other researchers performed a different experiment. They let the participants write down the most common thoughts that cross their minds during the day and then use the most positive and believable thought as a self-affirmation to rehearse more often.
This experiment resulted in an obvious increase in the participants’ self-esteem, even in people with low self-esteem.
Why did this happen?
By comparing this experiment to the first one, we can infer that the key point is to use a self-affirmation that comes from a person’s own thoughts, not a random mantra advised by a self-help guru that may not fit people’s beliefs about themselves. Repeating a self-affirmation that doesn’t feel right can make someone feel worse.
How to self-talk positively?
It is possible to train people to increase positive thoughts, which has many benefits. It is important for mental health and has been shown to enhance performance for athletes in many sports, such as tennis, water polo, and basketball. It can also be useful in business, enhancing organizational performance if employees practice it often.If you think about it, positive self-talk is easy to do; just close your eyes, and talk to yourself in a positive way. However, researchers have designed many techniques to increase the frequency of effective positive self-talk. Examples include
- Fluent training, which is writing as many positive thoughts as possible in a one-minute period, once every day for two weeks can make these positive thoughts become automatic.
- Writing 15 positive self-statements and rehearsing them three times daily for two weeks or twice daily for three weeks can also lead to more fluent positive thoughts.
These experiments also show that recalling realistic and believable positive statements prewritten on flash cards (or cell phone applications to be available any time) can be useful as reminders to increase the frequency of positive thoughts.
So it seems the self-affirmations should be derived from the thoughts people already have about their own qualities and characteristics. Personally, I use my character strengths as an inspiration to write my own self-affirmations, so they will match what I really believe about myself.
On the other hand, it may not be useful to repeat a random mantra taken from a self-help book, because this may contradict what people believe about themselves. Doing so may be harmful for people with low self-esteem because they may feel the statement is not realistic, like the patient who keeps saying, “I’m not absurdly short; I’m ridiculously tall!”

Sehban was last seen in Thapki Pyaar Ki
Ever since the makers announced a new show titled Bepanah, featuring Jennifer Winget and Sehban Azim, dating rumours between the two actors have been doing the rounds. Both Jennifer and Sehban had chosen to keep mum, until now. Sehban has revealed that Jennifer is just a good friend. Is this the truth, or a much-used-and-abused cliché? Who knows!
In a tête-à-tête with T2 Online, Sehban, who was last seen in Thapki Pyaar Ki, spoke about his character in Bepanah, his equation with co-star Jennifer (both on camera and off it), as well as their camaraderie.
People assume that there is more than just friendship between the two of you? Would you like to clear the air once and for all?
Yes. I'm working with Jennifer (Winget) and it's not the first time we are working together on a show. I have a lot of other friends on the show, including Aniruddha Rajderkar, the creator and director; Harshad Chopra, who has been a friend since our time together on Humsafar; Ameeta Devadiga, who has been around since Dil Mil Gaye and Ek Hazaron Mein Meri Behna Hai days. And last but not the least, Amrita Chavan, another old friend who is the person behind the look and costumes for the show. So, it's like a family working together in Cinevista where I started my television career as this is my fourth show with the production house. We all are very good friends and that should be enough to clear the air I assume.
Does it get difficult to work with her (Jennifer) amid link-up rumours? Do you feel awkward?
Such rumours have done the rounds a number of times, and I think we have made our stance clear. No, there's no awkwardness or difficulty working together.
What makes Jennifer so drool-worthy?
Her hard work, acting skills teamed with her good looks probably.
Looks like there are going to be some romantic scenes (as seen in the promos) with Jennifer. How comfortable were you? Are the scenes bold?
Just like all other shows I've done before, this show, too, has romance in it. What would a love story be without any romance! To be honest, it's going to be awkward and comfortable at the same time. Awkward because we are friends and comfortable because we are friends. Going by the promos, if you consider it bold, then it's probably going to be bold, and if you consider it romantic, then that's how it's going to be.
When will the show go on air?
The final dates are not confirmed as yet.
What about films since most of your peers are making inroads into Bollywood?
It's all about acting for me — whether it's a movie, television, web series or an advertisement. Give me a good character a good story, and I would love to be a part of it. When I started my career as a model, I had no idea that I would be doing this so soon. But here I am now and hopeful of more good opportunities coming my way.
Are you single?
Hahaha, yes. I am absolutely happy and single. Probably that's because I'm learning to love myself wholeheartedly before I start to love someone else. I don't know if that makes sense, but it does to me. Don't know what I've learned from the industry, but yes over the years I've learned a lot from my life and experiences.Read More:

Yongnuo is better known for its lenses, but it is also continuing a journey into mirrorless camera production with the Android powered YN455.
The company previously produced the YN450, also Android powered, in 2018. The device used an MFT sized sensor, which could produce 16MP photos and 4K video, and oddly used an EF mount. The reason you might not have heard of it is because it was never available outside China. There was also a later variant of the camera that featured an MFT mount.
We understand that the YN450 never really gained traction and didn’t exactly set the camera reviews world alight. Making cameras is hard, and it is possibly unreasonable to expect perfection straight away. However Photorumors reports that the company has revealed the new YN455 with what appears to much improved specifications.
That said, the specs are still a little underwhelming by today’s standards, but the YN455 is at the budget end of things at 3888 Yuan (66,000 Japanese Yen, or $598 USD).

Yongnuo YN455 specification
It features a 20MP MFT sized sensor coupled to a 2.2GHz 8-core Snapdragon SoC processor with 6GB of RAM. There’s 64GB of internal storage, although users can also use Micro SD cards up to 256GB capacity.
The rear of the camera features a large 5” touch display, which unlike the previous models is now tiltable right up to the point at which it can be used as a selfie screen. There’s also 4G network compatibility using a Nano-SIM.
Other specs include 4K video up to 30p, separate 3.5mm headphone and mic jacks, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and dual USB-C ports, with 1080p output on the side and OTG compatibility on the bottom. The battery is a removable 18W affair with PD/QC3 fast charge capability.
The YN455 runs Android 10, and what’s interesting is that given the chip that is powering it, it will be quite possible that full editing of photos and video will be available using any Android editing app you care to mention.
It begs a question, is the YN455 a camera that is also a phone, or is it a smartphone that has taken its camera functionality to the extreme? The key advantage of the YN455 is of course that it has a much larger sensor than any smartphone, and the lenses are interchangeable. But it still begs the question of why?
An obvious answer is that perhaps developing on an already available OS cuts down on development costs. We don’t know whether the YN455 will be available outside of China, nor has any release date been mentioned. We also don’t know if the company will be running a name competition again like it did for the YN450.
It is another clear indication of how the landscape can change, or is changing. Manufacturers like Yongnuo, if they manage the sales, can often surprise us further down the line. We only have to look at how companies like DJI and Insta360 have come from humble beginnings and disrupted industries with extremely capable and high quality products.

The tips and tricks to survive and escape from Mommy Poppy
Mommy Poppy is the main antagonist of Project Playtime. She is a terrifying creature that will hunt you down and kill you if she sees you. You have to avoid her at all costs, or else you will lose the game. Here are some tips and tricks to survive and escape from Mommy Poppy:
Use your flashlight sparingly. Your flashlight is a useful tool that can help you see in the dark, but it can also attract Mommy Poppy's attention. She can see your light from far away, and she will follow it until she finds you. Therefore, use your flashlight only when necessary, and turn it off when you hear or see Mommy Poppy nearby.
Hide in lockers or under tables. Sometimes, you might not be able to run away from Mommy Poppy, especially if she is blocking your way or chasing you. In that case, you can hide in lockers or under tables that are scattered around the factory. Mommy Poppy will not be able to see you or reach you if you are hiding, but she might still hear you if you make noise. Therefore, stay quiet and still until she leaves.
Use your camera and tape recorder. Your camera and tape recorder are two items that can help you distract Mommy Poppy or lure her away from your path. You can use your camera to take pictures of Mommy Poppy, which will stun her for a few seconds. You can also use your tape recorder to play sounds that will make Mommy Poppy curious or angry, such as children's laughter or screams. You can then throw your tape recorder somewhere else, and Mommy Poppy will follow it, leaving you free to move on.
The secrets and Easter eggs to discover in Project Playtime
Project Playtime is not only a horror game, but also a mystery game. There are many secrets and Easter eggs that you can discover in the game, which will reveal more about the story and the characters of Project Playtime. Some of them are:
The hidden tapes. There are several hidden tapes that you can find in the game, which contain recordings of interviews, conversations, or messages related to the toy factory and Mommy Poppy. These tapes will give you more insight into what happened in the factory, why Mommy Poppy became evil, and who is behind it all.
The secret rooms. There are also some secret rooms that you can access in the game, which contain clues, items, or puzzles that are not part of the main gameplay. These rooms are usually hidden behind walls or doors that require a code or a key to open. You can find these codes or keys by exploring the factory or solving other puzzles.
The references to Poppy Playtime. As mentioned before, Project Playtime is inspired by Poppy Playtime, another horror game that features Mommy Poppy as the antagonist. Therefore, there are some references to Poppy Playtime in Project Playtime, such as posters, toys, logos, or characters that are similar or identical to those in Poppy Playtime.
In conclusion, Project Playtime is a horror game that will challenge your skills and nerves. It is a game that combines horror, puzzle-solving, exploration, and mystery in a captivating way. I

Tax agreement: the FDF takes note of the decision of Germany's Bundesrat
Bern, 23.11.2012 - The Federal Department of Finance (FDF) has taken note of today's decision by Germany's Bundesrat on the bilateral withholding tax agreement. Following approval by the Bundestag, the agreement did not receive the required number of "yes" votes in the Bundesrat.
The President of the Swiss Confederation and Head of the FDF, Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf, stated that "Switzerland remains prepared to bring the ratification process with Germany to a successful conclusion". There are no obstacles to ratification on the Swiss side, given that parliament approved the agreement in June and the referendum did not take place. The procedure has not yet been completed in Germany. The outcome of a conciliation committee that may be convened - comprising members of both the Bundestag and the Bundesrat -remains to be seen.
The withholding tax agreement concluded between Switzerland and Germany makes it possible to solve the long-standing problem of untaxed German funds in Switzerland and thereby to improve bilateral relations. The agreement ensures implementation of Germany's legitimate tax claims and at the same time protects the privacy of bank clients.
The ratification process with the United Kingdom and Austria has already been concluded. The President of the Swiss Confederation, Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf, emphasised that "Switzerland will in any case bring the withholding tax agreements with the United Kingdom and Austria into force on 1 January 2013". Furthermore, Switzerland is currently holding negotiations with Italy and Greece on agreements of this nature. Other countries both within and outside Europe have also shown an interest in this model.

X-Men Days of Future Past has a massive cast, incorporating players from both the original X-Men movies and First Class in an epic, time travelling storyline.
With so many names and faces, it was always going to be difficult finding screentime for everyone, and director Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2) confirmed as much last year when he revealed that Anna Paquin (AKA Rogue) wouldn't be making the final cut as her action scene was trimmed.
Despite that, Paquins face has continued to pop up - including gracing one of the special covers of Empire magazine, which showed off 25 unique characters and images. Now, a representative of 20th Century Fox has confimed that the actress will indeed feature, though her part has essentially become a cameo.
It's good news for fans of the 31 year old Kiwi star - who is best known for her part in HBO's True Blood these days. She joins a large casting including: Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan,Michael Fassbender, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Peter Dinklage, Nicholas Hoult, Shawn Ashmore, Evan Peters and more.
X-Men Days of Future Past is in cinemas from the 22ndof May 2014.

John Netting is a poet who lives in North Wales. He was educated at St Asaph Grammar School and Jesus College, Oxford, where he read English. He has spent most of his working life buying and selling paintings, finally returning to matters literary in December 2015. He believes that poetry should strive to reach the parts that prose can't. He feels no shame at showing the influence of earlier poets, and deplores the deliberate isolation from the past seen in much "establishment" verse today. He admires the work of William Blake, G M Hopkins, T S Eliot and (especially) Sylvia Plath. His other interests are horses; dogs; reading (mostly historical); painting and paintings (especially mid to late 20c abstracts and abstract-landscapes); Georgian and some modernist glass. He has been a widower since September 2015.
RIDING Still undawn distances, their sibilance. Soft clop through gloam of unshod hooves that muffle into mud. Faint blackberryers we pass back spectrally to black. They switch off their torches. For us no mad orgasmic gallop over plough exploding into wheat - we plod to the pale of a hidden thridding. We skirt deep puddles mirroring their firsts of red, cleave to the long left woodland - its rising carbon mist, riot of root-twist, fantasy of fungus. Shattering of sky. Pilgrims autonomic - we reach the shut reach, that of the isolate eye. John Netting 21 November 2016 THE FIRST YEAR'S TURNING You have now a year been gone - and I detained, a thrall to time's atrocity. I fear the brittling of leaf, leaf-vein, sap's rallentando - more, I fear oblivion of memories. My remaindering delays a possible another spring. I will hope, and try to keep you, try to hold you clear in mind - and on the random wildwind strain to hear old notes maintain the glory of your voice, your name. But I have a sick dread of a fading, of a live unravelling, of an arriving at the river decomplete, in holes, web-thin, disqualified and ticketless - my mirror imageless, my map to find you gone. John Netting 22 October 2016 A RIDING SCHOOL IN DEVON, AUTUMN 1962 Did you turn up one afternoon and did your brisk instructress say: "Quickly, tack old Posy up! Sylvia is on Ariel - you've learnt enough to go out on the road with her today!"? You did - and as you ambled with her on those horses safe and slow, did her greatness radiate, her genius show? Did you sense transcendence near? Likely not - she content to simply be - to breathe on Ariel a dilute, evanescent air - above, beyond, the blood, the sand: the grand, the savage circle of her mastery. (Worlds away the rhythm, and the different dreaming; worlds away the power, the telepathic mind, the kind surprising aura of a horse!) All unknowing you'll have spoken to her - as in a pub, perhaps, to a man called Arthur you didn't see leave, retrieve from where he'd propped it by the door the sword Excalibur. And what of Ariel? No Bucephalus he, old plod - there never was for him a celebrated grave. The meat-man will have come one day, stood, stared a second, shrugged and paid two shillings, led the horse away. As well ask the fate of the donkey, he that another unlikely, untoward and suicidal poet-prophet rode, into palm-sick Jerusalem. John Netting September 2016 ALL THE WAY BACK if you when window shopping touch the plateglass with the corner of your specs your head jerks back - oh snail horn sensitivity! half a billion years recoil react recall retract touch was the first it felt the light it felt the lack of sight need seeded it to differentiate to pucker up locate parts to start rudiments of tastebuds nostrils ears and eyes * but here and now your woman soundly sleeps - from a fraught five sense inventory you need to pick a perfect birthday wake up call clearly inappropriate - with a nice hot cup of tea or not - would be the shining of very bright lights or a small laser on her eyelids so too to utter loud uncouth noises shout "Fire!" or trickle water between two glasses by her ear to make her need to pee - unthinkable to introduce some drastic odour to her comatose nose or a tastebomb past her teeth quite so instead you must with patient fingers loving lips and subtle tongue arouse her - bend her body back all the way back to the ancient urgency to the primal sea from which she comes by touch John Netting 22 July 2016

President Barack Obama opened the final act of a year-long drama over health-care legislation Wednesday, calling on Democrats in Congress to approve the sweeping bill despite political risks and Republican opposition.
The president vowed to rally Americans and wavering lawmakers alike. White House aides said a pair of trips next week will be followed by a stream of public and private lobbying. The White House wants final votes by month's end.
"At stake right now is not just our ability to solve this problem, but our ability to solve any problem," Mr. Obama told a crowd of white-coated doctors and nurses in the East Room, where a year ago he started the drive for the legislation.
With polls showing that the legislation is unpopular and congressional Democrats bracing for big losses in this fall's elections, the president urged them to ignore the politics. "I do not know how this plays politically, but I know it's right," he said. "Let's get it done."
Democrats and the White House are balancing high risks and rewards. Passing the health overhaul would fulfill a decades-old Democratic dream, bringing insurance to some 30 million Americans, and represent the greatest expansion of coverage since Medicare was created in 1965. But if the public judges the overhaul harshly, it is likely to cost some Democrats their seats, and the party's majority in the House could be at risk.
The White House argues that, despite the negative poll numbers, Americans will like the measure if it becomes law, since the focus then could shift from the legislative process to the measure's impact. Polling does find stronger support for the bill's individual provisions than for the package as a whole.
Mr. Obama Wednesday also highlighted a handful of Republican ideas used in the legislation. Republicans dismissed the gesture as insufficient.
"You can't add a couple of Republican sprinkles on the top of a 2,700-page bill and claim that it's bipartisan," said House Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio).
Rejecting Republican calls to start again, the president said that given the "honest and substantial differences between the parties," there was no point. "Everything there is to say about health care has been said," he said to laughter, "and just about everybody has said it."
For the first time, the president explicitly called on Congress to use a procedural technique that will let the Senate give its final approval with a simple majority vote. He didn't use the word for that technique—"reconciliation"—but characterized the process as a way of calling a simple "up or down vote" that has been used for big bills before.

Health Reform, Point by Point
Compare the proposals
Past Overhaul Attempts
Republicans say the reconciliation process was never intended for such major legislation. "History is clear: Big legislation always requires big majorities," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said on the floor Wednesday.
Democrats need to approve the changes in the Senate through reconciliation because they no longer have 60 Senate votes necessary to end a standard debate, due to the loss last month of the Massachusetts seat long held by the late Edward Kennedy. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs downplayed the significance of the reconciliation measure, calling it a set of "technical corrections" to the original Senate measure. The reconciliation version contains some significant differences from the Senate bill, including taxes on the wealthy and lower levies on high-value health-insurance plans.
Under the Democratic plan, the process would work like this: First, the House would vote on the bill that the Senate approved in late December. House leaders hope to pass both that Senate bill, and then the reconciliation package, by March 17. After that, the Senate would need to pass the reconciliation bill. By month's end, Democrats hope, the measure would go to the president to be signed into law.
The final push by Mr. Obama amounts to a critical test of his powers of persuasion. Democrats could face a tough decision, balancing the risk of passing potentially unpopular legislation against the risk of inaction and the stigma of having labored for more than a year to produce nothing. Democratic leaders say lawmakers who already voted yes once will be attacked no matter what, but will be in better shape politically if they have something to show for it.
White House aides vowed the president would use all tactics at his disposal to rally support. That includes speeches around the country, starting with a trip to Philadelphia on Monday, media interviews and direct communication with supporters.
He'll also be lobbying lawmakers directly, aides said, including at a White House reception Wednesday that includes a half-dozen Democrats who voted no last year and are being targeted to change their votes.
On Capitol Hill, Democrats have started writing the formal reconciliation bill and are close to a final agreement, aides said. They intend to send it to the Congressional Budget Office for evaluation by the end of the week, a leadership aide said.
To assure the House that the Senate actually will pass the reconciliation measure, senators are considering sending a letter next week with at least 51 senators' signatures promising action, a Senate leadership aide said.
House leaders face the tougher task in rallying support. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she will be able to corral the votes, but she hasn't yet secured them. It will require persuading several Democrats who voted no last year to change their votes to yes, to make up for supporters who have turned against the measure or left Congress.
Navigating reconciliation in the Senate poses its own hurdles. Republicans plan to make a series of rule-oriented challenges to the process in order to slow it down and stoke public unease. Republicans "will employ every strategy possible because we know that this will be a disaster for this country," said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah).
Some Democrats say the partisan rancor the process would generate could drain so much political will from the Senate that it will make it tough to complete other major legislation this year. "It would probably bring everything else to a stop," said Sen. Evan Bayh (D., Ind.).
The reconciliation process prevents Republicans from blocking the bill using a filibuster. But it doesn't stop them from introducing an unlimited number of amendments. Democrats say that, under a worst-case scenario, that could eat up weeks of time on the floor and force the Senate's parliamentarian to rule that the amendments weren't offered in good faith.
Wednesday's address capped two weeks of intense intervention into the health debate by the president, who has been criticized for staying too hands-off previously. White House aides say his steps were needed to propel the bill following the Massachusetts loss and hope it is enough to move the legislation over the finish line.


Previously we’ve seen the Galaxy S21 being disassembled and now it’s finally time for the Galaxy S21 Plus to go through the same process and find out what the differences are between it and the standard version of the Samsung phone. Check now everything that was shown by the PBKreivews channel on YouTube.
Starting with an interesting aspect, the chip drawer, which in this version supports only one SIM card, but it is important to mention that the difference between models with 1 and 2 chips is only the firmware used in the cell phone and the ejectable drawer, which it is metal in version 2 SIM Cards, so all Galaxy S21 have 2 readers, but one of them is disabled in versions with support for only one.
To use 2 in these models, theoretically just use the Galaxy S21 dual-SIM firmware and a drawer with two slots.
Another difference noted in this version of the Galaxy S21 Plus is the absence of Qualcomm’s mmWave antennas, which are present in the versions with Snapdragon 888, so this model only supports the 5G sub-6. In addition, the rear in this version is glass, while the S21 is plastic.
As you can still see in the video, the camera module of the Galaxy S21 Plus is made of metal and can be detached, which makes it easy to replace it and the lenses if necessary.
Some points that hinder the repair of the cell phone are certainly the battery fixed with glue without any handle to extract it and the flex cables that are arranged in a kind of sandwich between the cell phone frame and the screen, making you need to remove it it to repair a simple button on the side if it is defective.


One of the rarest and most sought after guns in the world is the FG-42, a rifle used exclusively by elite German paratroopers in World War 2. This beautiful weapon, a unique ‘battle rifle’, is not well known. Combining the stopping power of a machine gun with the accuracy of a traditional Kar-98, it was the father of the M-60 and considered one of the most advanced weapons of WW2. It had a unique muzzle brake that reduced recoil and flash, but increased gun report exponentially.
Only 5,000 were produced, but now only 30 are confirmed to be in private ownership. A modern replica will cost thousands, even though it was not select fire like the original. An original will cost you much more than that. Try $299,000.
So since it’s rare and all, for this baby to appear in a movie, forget about it. If it ever happens from now on, it will only be a replica. All shiny and laminated (although the originals actually were laminated too.). It has appeared though, in the movie The Eagle Has Landed in 1976. Essentially a cameo since the gun is not used. The screens are below. Now the weapon may have been more freely available then, but the script of the movie had the troopers undercover, so they were using Allied weapons.
This is supposedly the only time a real 300 hundred thousand dollar FG-42 rifle has or ever will appear in a movie, as opposed to a select fire replica. The unit behind them by the way is a Stug III, which isn’t exactly growing on trees itself. Another real piece of hardware.

Former Gov. Mitt Romney narrowly defeated former Sen. Rick Santorum on Tuesday in the battleground state of Ohio, according to the Associated Press.
Underscoring the continuing contentious and divided nature of national Republicans, the remaining GOP presidential candidates split the Super Tuesday contests amongst themselves, once again denying Romney the decisive wins he would need to officially clinch the 2012 nomination.
CNN exit polls found that 96 percent of the voters were white. Santorum received the most votes from those aged 17 to 49, while Romney did best among those 50 and older. Santorum also did better among more conservative voters and those without a college education.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Santorum and Romney on Tuesday fought for more than 400 delegates in Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia.
Romney was projected to win Virginia, where only himself and Paul appeared on the ballot. Gingrich and Santorum both failed to submit the 10,000 verifiable signatures needed to qualify. Since Romney won more than 50 percent of the vote, he picked up all of the state's 34 delegates.
Romney was also projected to win in Vermont, his home state Massachusetts, and Idaho.
"To the millions of Americans who look around and can only see jobs they can't get and bills they can't pay, I have a message," said Romney, amid deafening chants of "USA, USA" and "We need Mitt."
"You have not failed. You have a president that has failed you, and that's going to change... This president's run out of ideas. He's run out of excuses, and in 2012, we're going to get him out of the White House."
He added: "This campaign is not about a name on the ballot. It's about saving the soul of America."
Santorum will win Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Dakota, according to exit polls.
"Tonight it's clear: we've won races all over this country against the odds. When they thought, 'oh OK, he's finally finished,' we keep coming back," Santorum told hundreds in the packed gymnasium at Steubenville High School in blue collar eastern Ohio.
Although Romney also quickly notched up several wins out of the 10 Super Tuesday states, the Santorum campaign clearly feels its passion can overcome millionaire businessman Romney's big spending advantage.
Campaign strategist John Brabender was already talking up the future primaries such as Kansas and Mississippi. "Believe me, there is no resting in this campaign," he told reporters.
Exit polls projected former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to win his home state of Georgia, with 45 percent of the vote. Romney was projected to pick up 26 percent, followed by Santorum with 20 percent and Paul with 8 percent. Gingrich picked up at least 23 of Georgia's 76 delegates.
Presidential candidates need to obtain 1,144 delegates to win the Republican nomination.

Inhaled corticosteroids for the treatment of COVID-19
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has caused severe illness and mortality for millions worldwide. Despite the development, approval and rollout of vaccination programmes globally to prevent infection by SARS-CoV-2 and the development of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), treatments are still urgently needed to improve outcomes. Early in the pandemic it was observed that patients with pre-existing asthma or COPD were underrepresented among those with COVID-19. Evidence from clinical studies indicates that the inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) routinely taken for asthma and COPD could have had a protective role in preventing severe COVID-19 and, therefore, may be a promising treatment for COVID-19. This review summarises the evidence supporting the beneficial effects of ICS on outcomes in patients with COVID-19 and explores the potential protective mechanisms.
