Postpone or abandon Brexit? The choice is yours, Prime Minister
This dream has become a nightmare
Around two and a half years on from the referendum, we now know that the Brexit vote has seriously damaged the British economy. Ironically enough, according to the Centre for European Reform such damage is costing the country around £440 million a week, much more than any of the UK's weekly contributions to the EU budget. The social carnage cannot be ignored either, according to the University of Sussex: no fewer than 400,000 to 750,000 jobs are at risk. This uncertainty is also weighing on British investments. Greg Clark, the UK's Secretary of State for Business, raised the alarm last week because businesses are spending hundreds of millions of pounds on protecting themselves against Brexit, rather than making productive investments.
That MPs would vote down Theresa May's deal was written in the stars. The country was completely divided from the start of negotiations and there was no single vision regarding the UK's future relationship with the EU, so it was incomprehensible that Article 50 was triggered without the government having reached any agreement. The consequences of this are well known: one minister after another threw in the towel and MPs wrestled with the government. During a final rescue attempt to drum up sufficient support for her deal, Theresa May asked for, and received, a number of additional clarifications from the EU. Renegotiation was no longer an option. The EU is rightly sticking to its principles.
A politician thinks of the next election. A statesman, of the next generation
The negative vote is a blow to Prime Minister May and further undermines her precarious authority. She can now opt for a 'no-deal Brexit' and accept the inevitable damage. This would be an economic and political disaster and is therefore not a logical choice.
She still has one viable alternative that would allow her to put an end to the Brexit chaos and limit the damage. Theresa May will have to make a bold political move: reason with the people, who voted with their hearts, and explain that the promises made during the referendum cannot be completely fulfilled. May can then pick one of two routes.
Either she will be able to buy some extra time by requesting an extension of negotiations, pressing pause on Brexit. This is perfectly possible under the EU Treaty, though it requires the unanimous approval of the EU Member States. There is no doubt that May would be granted this extra time. After all, which Member State would rather have a 'cliff-edge Brexit' or be blamed for a no deal? May can then use this time to finally get MPs on the same page and get her deal through Parliament, in one way or another. This would result in an orderly Brexit, though not one that the British voted for or dreamed of. May could also use this time to organise a second referendum or opt for a new model, such as joining the European Economic Area like Norway.
Or she can seek refuge with the European Court of Justice. The judges in Luxembourg have stated that the UK can unilaterally revoke Article 50, meaning that May could reverse the whole Brexit saga and the UK would remain within the EU where it belongs. Because let's be honest: the British economy will be under considerable pressure regardless of the form Brexit takes, shrinking 3.9% under the current Brexit plan and 9.3% in the event of a no-deal Brexit. These official figures from the British government do not lie, and confirm that ‘no Brexit’ is by far the best option.
Both options ensure that the Brexit crisis does not result in a disastrous, irresponsible no-deal scenario, where the UK leaves the EU without a divorce agreement, a transition period or sight of a sustainable future relationship with the EU, which would be particularly detrimental to our Belgian companies. Our priority is therefore clear. Avoiding this scenario is the only thing for which there is a democratic majority in the House of Commons.
The saying 'A statesman thinks of the next generation' is therefore crucial. Will the real statesman or woman please stand up?

I may be wrong but I don’t remember a time when two movies that were effectively stand alone had such a parallel marketing campaign. These new posters released by Marvel / Paramount Pictures are more like concept drawings but show both Thor and Captain America in battle. They also tie in nicely with the high resolution image that Alex put up earlier today of the Throne Room from Thor.
If you look very closely at the images, they both seem to have been signed by two different artists. The Thor poster was designed by Charlie Wen and the Captain America poster by Ryan Meinerding. I’ve just done a bit more research on Ryan Meinerding and you can check out more of his work on his website here and Charlie Wen’s blog is here.

text: A 75-year-old woman was injured slightly yesterday when her car collided with three automobiles and the porch of a house in Wilson. Ruth S. Laubach of 2134 Hay St., Wilson, was treated at Easton Hospital for minor bruises. She told police she was straightening the wheels of her car in a parking place at 23rd and Hay streets when it suddenly lunged forward and hit an auto driven north on 23rd Street by Patty J. Plews, 21, of 2303 Hay St. The Laubach car bounced off the Plews vehicle and struck parked cars owned by John F. Ricker Jr., 2303 Hay St., Plews' grandfather, and Scott R. Strawn, 2021 Morgan Hill Road, Williams Township, before slamming into the wooden porch of a home owned by Marlena Miller, 2301 Hay St. The impact spun the Strawn car around and pushed it onto the sidewalk, police said. The porch was heavily damaged. Plews was not hurt in the 11:17 a.m. crash. Police said both the Strawn and Laubach cars were demolished.

SEOUL, March 21 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in stressed the importance of two-way communication with his people Thursday in a meeting with the chief executive officer of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, at his office Cheong Wa Dae.
"As president, I believe communicating with the people, instead of promoting my management of state affairs, is what is most needed and important in this era," Moon told the visiting head of the U.S.-based social networking service.
Dorsey arrived here earlier in the day as part of his three-nation Asian tour that is said to include visits to Singapore and Japan.
Moon noted his first encounter with Dorsey dated back to 2017 when Cheong Wa Dae created its first Twitter account and Dorsey tweeted a mention in Korean, saying he hoped to "learn, listen and share together."
The South Korean president said learning, listening and sharing may be the most important elements of communication.
He then asked the CEO of Twitter to help inspire his country's youth.
"I ask that you offer many good words of inspiration to our young people," the president said.
Dorsey is reportedly scheduled to hold a meeting with a group of young South Koreans on Friday before wrapping up his two-day visit here.

December 31, 2019//Tony HowlettLast Updated: April 16, 2021
2019 was quite an eventful year in the InfoSec world, with large events like the Quest Diagnostics/LabCorp and Capital One data breaches dominating the headlines and attackers getting ever more sophisticated and profit-oriented. Ransomware saw a renaissance as cyberthieves found new fertile fields in which to sow their wares in. State actors such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea got bolder in making incursions into rival country’s infrastructure. And hacking was front and center as an element of the ongoing impeachment trial of the President.
While making prognostications in an article is risky business, I will venture forth with my guesses as to some of the things we will see in 2020 and beyond. So here are my predictions, take them for what they are worth, caveat emptor and all that, for cybersecurity, 2020 edition:
With the explosion in highly profitable ransomware attacks on public entities such as cities and other quasi-governmental entities like school districts and hospitals, hackers are on a roll. Hackers hit a high point with the triple hacks of 3 Florida cities over the summer netting over $1 million in ransom. The ransomware success didn’t stop there. Next, the mass ransomware attack on 22 Texas cities and subsequent infection of Louisiana state systems, causing a shutdown of systems state-wide, continued the successful run of large scale attacks.
Since the tap of money hasn’t shut off, I would expect these types of attacks to continue and intensify as long as there are vulnerable victims and willing payors in the form of insurance policies. As the word gets out and easy city and hospital targets dry up, we will probably see them pivot into other similarly situated entities that have the potent combination of lower-than-average security and cyber insurance. If I were a savvy security analyst, I’d be trying to figure out the ransomware crime wave’s next target and secure it before it strikes. My guess would be rural power generation and utility companies, small local telephone companies, and other mission-critical infrastructure that might not have the resources of their big-city brethren. More state offices and services will probably also be targeted in this manner. One thing is for sure, the hackers won’t stop until people stop paying.
The genesis of most attacks these days usually starts with a successful phishing attack. According to the 2018 Symantec Internet Security Threat Report, 71% of successful targeted attacks involved a spear-phishing attack. And due to that success, I would expect attackers to sharpen their blades and focus more refined, targeted attacks (spearphishing) versus the mass broadcast general attacks. The use of OSINT tools such as Maltego and the excess of personal information available on most people via LinkedIn, Facebook, and other sources means that a dedicated attacker can craft phishing emails so good that even the most seasoned cynic might click on them.
With attackers more likely than ever to be able to establish a foothold on your network via these methods, defenders will want to strengthen their endpoint defenses to knockdown the malware when it tries to infect off a click and also secure higher privilege credentials with technologies such as PAM and VPAM so that even if an admin account gets co-opted, the damage the hacker can do is blunted.
Another trend is that attackers are starting to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to scale their attacks beyond a human’s ability to recognize or respond. In response, security vendors are integrating the same technologies into their solutions to counter it. The number of vendors hawking AI-enhanced wares will increase until your product doesn’t seem complete without an AI feature on it, though often these new options are often more vaporware than reality. Still, the smart companies will use this tech as a “force multiplier” to handle the daily blocking and tackling of event analysis and prioritization so that their expensive human security analysts can spend more time on the incident correlation, detection, and response. Being able to see the forest through the AI trees is going to be the name of the game for InfoSec success going forward and we will need machine enhanced “eyes” to do this effectively.
Though there are a lot more areas in could opine on for the coming year, I will leave it at these three and hope that if they come true, your company has the foresight, resources, and technology to deal with them effectively. May you have a happy AND secure new year and 2020!

Firefighters in North Carolina are fighting to expand death benefits—and Workers’ Compensation disability benefits—to those who have contracted cancer caused by exposure in the line of duty. A detailed article on their efforts is available here.
While North Carolina provides $100,000 in death benefits to the families of police officers, firefighters, and rescue workers who died in the line of duty, very few firefighters who died of cancer caused by toxic exposure on the job qualified. To make the situation worse, firefighters with cancer do not currently qualify for Workers’ Compensation benefits under the existing law.
Though federal studies indicate firefighters are more likely to contract several types of cancer, state law limits eligibility to four types of cancer. Currently only those diagnosed with testicular, intestinal, and esophageal cancer, as well as mesothelioma, qualify under rules set by the North Carolina Industrial Commission.
Lobbying for Change
Across North Carolina, firefighters are pressing to expand death benefits to reflect the risks of toxic exposure they say are far too common. In Charlotte, three firefighters died of cancer within a three-month span in 2016. The Charlotte Fire Department says their 1,100 members filed a total of 41 cancer claims between April 2014 and March 2017.
The Firefighter Cancer Support Network, a non-profit organization, states cancer caused 70% of line of duty deaths in 2016 alone. According to another news source, firefighters in North Carolina and their supporters want the state to expand protection to include those diagnosed with:
- Oral Cancer
- Brain Cancer
- Rectal Cancer
- Testicular Cancer
- Intestinal Cancer
- Esophageal Cancer
- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
- Multiple Myeloma
Fighting for Protection
In contrast to most other states, North Carolina does not allow firefighters with cancer to collect Workers’ Compensation benefits while they are sick. Other states presume firefighters with cancer are ill due to occupational exposure, making them eligible for benefits. In recent years, the state legislature—despite the introduction of multiple bills with dozens of co-sponsors—has refused to vote on bills to expand Workers’ Compensation and death benefits to firefighters with cancer.
We Can Help.
If you are unable to work due to a medical condition, mental illness, or injury, contact Daggett Shuler for help. An experienced Workers’ Compensation attorney can handle all of the paperwork and details necessary to work to secure the Workers’ Compensation benefits you deserve.
If you have questions about Workers’ Compensation benefits—or if your claim has been denied—call Daggett Shuler Law at 336-724-1234. When you call, you will speak with a North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Attorney absolutely FREE. We will investigate every detail of your situation at no cost to you—and fight hard to secure the benefits you deserve.

text: This wonderfully atmospheric album simply drips with water; from the lush green packaging to the ambient rainforest noises, the distant voices and laughter, the shakers and rain sticks, and the clatter of wooden percussion that permeates throughout each track. The upbeat opening Woosi hypnotises with an African guitar loop and Baka chanting. The gentle Ancestor's Voice ebbs and flows before merging seamlessly into a tribute to the River Lupé via wonderfully evocative water slapping. Ohureo is a beautiful Gaelic lullaby with Paddy Le Mercier's violin soaring to the heights. Despite the Irish influences his rootsy fiddle playing is far more Scarlet Rivera (as most celebrated on Bob Dylan's classic Desire album) than Riverdance. On Journey the Frenchman also plays flute over another infectious groove laid down by Senegalese percussionist Sagar N'Gom. The quiet Ndaweh's Dream highlights yet another exotic instrument, this time a ngombi (forest harp), before the rousing finale Booma Lena.

This question does not come up in conversations among liberals simply because of how regressive and authoritarian it is. I can see why it comes naturally to you.
Davis violated a federal court order, and was jailed for doing so. She should be disqualified from holding public office.
Look at their other posts, they are just trolling. Report and ignore.
Do morons want their children to be born morons?
Yes...yes they do. Next stupid question.
Do gay people wish any child to be born gay?


The Trump Administration has submitted revisions to its fiscal year budget submissions to the U.S. Congress that revises some key U.S. Navy procurements.
Under the revised request, the Pentagon would seek to cancel the Block I version of the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet’s Infrared Search and Track (IRST) air-to-air sensor in favor of adopting the Block II variant. The Navy will also receive another Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) under the revised budget submission.
The IRST program would be trimmed by about $100 million, which would then be shifted into the Navy’s shipbuilding accounts for the LCS as part of the revisions.
“This amendment would reduce funding for the F/A-18 Infrared Search and Track (IRST) system by $100 million. This requested reduction would partially offset a corresponding increase to the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy account in order to provide for an additional Littoral Combat Ship in FY 2018,” the amended budget submission reads. “The offset is available due to the cancellation of the procurement for the Block I FA/18-IRST, which provides a limited capability compared to the more advanced Block II variant. The Navy will equip the full number of F/A-18s with the Block II IRST on the same schedule as currently planned.”
The IRST capability is a key feature of the Navy’s Block III Super Hornet and provides the service with a “counter-stealth” air-to-air capability. The IRST sensor—which cannot be jammed in an electronic warfare heavy environment—uses long-wave infrared to detect aerial targets at extended ranges.
However, the performance of infrared sensors is highly dependent on the weather. For example, clouds and moisture in the atmosphere impose serious limitations on system performance and infrared sensors generally unable to accurately gauge aerial target ranges. In order the overcome those limitations, the Block III Super Hornet would have to network multiple aircraft in a flight to accurately measure ranges and generate a weapons quality track. However, as one industry official told me, in the case of a single-ship, the aircraft could use a series of snaking turns to determine range to target.
Meanwhile, the Trump Administration wants another LCS—with $100 million coming from the Block I IRST program. “This amendment would increase funding for the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy account by nearly $500 million to provide for an additional Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) in FY 2018, for a total of two ships,” the amendment reads. “This increase is fully offset by proposed reductions described in accompanying amendments to three Navy accounts: Aircraft Procurement; Other Procurement; and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation. This rate of shipbuilding is necessary to sustain the industrial base to preserve competition for the Frigate program and grow the fleet to meet operational requirements that exceed the capacity of today's fleet.”
The amended budget submission does not say which version of the LCS the Navy wants—but presumably the service will buys one each of the Freedom and Independence class ships.

Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah have responded to the news that their Batgirl film has been abandoned as a tax write-down – and they ain’t happy.
There’s still a fair amount of disbelief with regards the treatment of the Batgirl movie that – up until earlier this week – was pretty much completed and heading for release. The $90m film though has been ditched by Warner Bros, and not in a sent to streaming way. The film has apparently been outright cancelled, and won’t be getting any kind of release.
It was directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, who’d hit big beforehand with Bad Boys For Life. And the pair have responded to the news of Batgirl’s cancellation on Instagram.
They posted a statement to their Instagram account. In their words…

The film has been used now for a tax write-down at the newly merged Warner Bros Discovery, and as such won’t see the light of day. Unless – and we’d imagine this’ll happen at some point – it’s leaked out. Don’t hold your breath though.

The 5g-module Will Be Disabled In Some Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Versions
Building on the game-changing 90Hz refresh price which we first noticed in the OnePlus 7 Pro and was subsequently copied by other manufacturers, the eight Pro includes a 120Hz refresh rate. This is a thing which sounds very boring, but really makes an enormous difference. In quick, it means the display screen appears smoother and animations move better. The leap from 90Hz to 120Hz is undeniably much less apparent than the leap from 60Hz to 90Hz, however it seems gorgeous. The eight Pro routinely upscales all content material into 120Hz, however cinephiles can flip that off as it does give an analogous impact to the much-maligned motion smoothing on some prime TVs.
You get more storage, a better battery which is capable of quick wireless charging, and a faster processor. Apple are using what they name Super Retina XDR technology to make the screen as bright and colourful as it could possibly probably be.
Moto G Stylus 128gb Smartphone (Unlocked, Mystic Indigo)
Over the past few years I’ve been underwhelmed by Apple’s smartphone releases. In my view, they’ve really been buying and selling more on the idea that having an Apple phone is a standing image, somewhat than by showing off the most recent tech.
It looks great, particularly should you’re watching one thing in 4K high quality on your phone. The different main improve to the digital camera is the low-gentle capturing mode. Apple have elevated the aperture of the digicam which means it allows more gentle. This makes photos taken in dark spaces or at night time a lot brighter and extra vivid. It’s an enormous step up from the iPhone X and even the iPhone XS and I suspect this is might be a giant consider individuals’s choice about whether or not to upgrade.

By no means is this a complete list of what is available in the Oaxaca area. There is so much more. I am reminded by a reader that Oaxaca has a thriving printmaking history. You can often see paper printed images posted on buildings and walls like artful graffiti. Masters of printing sell their work throughout the city of Oaxaca and are well worth your attention. The machete is a common theme in prints as an agricultural implement, but also a symbol of the common people (farmers) rising up when they must.
I am going to expand this blog post with additional information you may find helpful should you decide that you'd like to visit Oaxaca and/or Mexico City. If you have no intension of ever visiting, you have reached the end of the pertinent portions of the blog post for you.
(FYI: I built Jose's website as a gift to his lovely family after they took us to breakfast at a local eatery. Jose really took his time to show this art teacher the "real Oaxaca." It was my "thank you" gift.)
If your phone company won't let you roam in Mexico, consider buying a sim chip at any number of local shops and swap it out for the week. For about $8 USD you can have 15 days of limitless calls, GPS, and internet. Weirdly, many cell phone stores are located within shoe stores. One was across the street from our hotel.
Tipping is customary in Mexico in the same places you'd do so in the USA. They tip a bit less though, 10-15%. When shopping in markets or outdoors, don't be afraid to bargain, particularly if you're buying more than one item.
Getting around the city is a breeze! Most everything is super walkable, but when you use a yellow taxi, agree on a price before you go anywhere, likely between 40 and 70 pesos if your destination is within the city but too far to walk. If you want to go further, consider contacting Oaxaca4U.weebly.com .
A guide to the surrounding villages and sights of Oaxaca can be very helpful and save you a lot of time. Most rental cars do not come with GPS, and addresses do not really make sense. There are many unmarked speed bumps throughout the city and you will ruin your car rental if you miss just one! Building numbers do not always go in order and oddly enough, in small towns, can change fairly frequently. A local guide can figure out the right address and keep you safe the whole time.
After shopping, touring, and falling in love with Oaxaca, you'll need to get all that stuff home again. We put all of our delicate purchases into our carry-on bags, and put most of the laundry into our checked baggage. Everything was safe and sound when we returned home. It's worth it to actually pay for additional checked luggage because shipping can be so expensive and unpredictable, but there is a UPS location in the center of Oaxaca if you need it.
Obviously a week is nowhere near long enough to be an expert on Oaxaca, nor is it enough time to see all the crafts and artisans of the area. THIS webpage will offer a more detailed list of what one could see and the variety of crafts created in this unique valley.
If you do go to Oaxaca, and use Jose' as your guide, please mention that you heard about him through this blog post and do tell him you are an art teacher. This way he can design a unique experience for you that will be far better than any hotel group tour.
Some may want to extend their plans with a few days in Mexico City (I did) to see the Museums and sites there. I can highly recommend visits to the following places: the Teotihuacan Pyramid grounds, Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Museo Antropologia (top 10 in the world), Palacio de Bellas Artes, the Frida Kahlo Museum, and many more. Keep in mind most museums are closed on Mondays, but your teacher's photo I.D. can get you in free! Uber is the best way to get around the city. We used a local guide Aaron Cruz to see the Pyramids and Our Lady of Guadalupe. His number in Mexico is 52-551-1088-8421. He is best reached by text and picked us up from our hotel. I used his service as he was highly recommended!
I am considering leading a tour group to the city of Oaxaca for another visit in the Summer of 2019, the week of June 22 to 29 (Saturday to Saturday.) Dates may change should I have too many show days in NJ and my school year is extended. You would find your own way to the Oaxaca Mexico Airport, but the following would be included: hotel, daily pastry/coffee/beverage breakfast, 3 guided tours out of the city to see artist studios, 1 tour to see the Pyramids (guided) and cliffs, local lunch (4x) on tour days, and transport from the hotel to the airport on the last day, all with a knowledgeable driver. The estimated cost, without airfare, would be $1300 for a private room, or $1000 with a shared room. (Not including tips, alcohol, or personal purchases.) If you have an interest, please email me with the subject "Oaxaca Trip Info Please" to LOVSART (at) Gmail (dot) com.

In the 16th century, Europe confronted religious, social and political conflict. This is not necessarily a bad thing as historians believe that conflict is a leitmotif of change. It awakens society from slumber and stagnation and leads to the creation of new ideas and thoughts with the passage of time.
When Martin Luther challenged the Catholic Church and its outdated institutions, the church became divided. In turn, the Catholic Church launched the Counter- Reformation with an aim to reform the church and restore Catholicism in Europe.
In 1618-48, the Thirty Year War ravaged Germany along with other European countries like Sweden, France, Spain and Austria when the Roman Catholic Church attempted to curtail the activities of the Protestants, sparking a rebellion. At first the Catholic Church authorities underestimated the extent of the Reformation but when they realised that the movement was spreading from one country to another, they decided to take action to defend and reform themselves.
The Inquisition, which was a group of institutions within the judicial system of the Roman Catholic Church, took harsh steps against heretics to check any deviation from faith in order to retain its unity.
From the time of the Greek philosophers to the present day, faith and knowledge have been in a love-hate relationship
The most effective challenge that the Church faced was the emergence of new knowledge which contradicted the Holy Scripture, the very basis of their faith. Until now, the Catholic Church firmly believed in the Ptolemaic idea that the earth was stationary while sun revolved around it. When Copernicus (d.1543), the Polish scientist presented the heliocentric theory that the earth revolved while the sun remained stationary, the Catholic Church responded with fury. The manuscript by Copernicus was included in the index of prohibited books, which was published by the Church mentioning the books which were not allowed to be read by devout Catholics. The argument of the Church was that in the Old Testament, Joshua prayed to God to let the sun remain in the sky until the war was over. The interpretation being that if sun was stationary why would Joshua pray for it to stand still? On this basis of it, it was considered heretical to oppose it.
Despite the opposition by the Church, scientists and philosophers continued to discuss this issue. It was a time when Italian universities were academically active and Italian aristocrats and nobles were also interested to learn about nature and to unfold its mysteries.
The first philosopher to face the charges of heresy was Giordano Bruno (d.1600) who propagated his idea that earth moved and there were a number of galaxies behind the sun. The Inquisition arrested him and tried him as a heretic. It was the practice of the Inquisition to torture its prisoners and force them to plead guilty. Giordano Bruno endured the torture but refused to reject his ideas. Finally, he was taken out of prison, paraded in the streets as a heretic and burnt at stake.
In 1610, Galileo a prominent scientist and philosopher published Sidereus Nuncius presenting his startling astronomical observations in which he recorded the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. With these observations he promoted the heliocentric theory of Copernicus. Galileo’s initial discoveries were met with opposition within the Catholic Church, and in 1616 the Inquisition declared heliocentrism to be formally heretical. Responding to mounting controversy over theology, astronomy and philosophy, Galileo was tried in 1633 for heresy and sentenced to indefinite imprisonment. He was kept under house arrest until his death in 1642.
The insult and humiliation did not dampen his spirits. He continued to work, and secretly sent his new manuscript on the theory of motion for publication to France.
He also received some visitors such as Thomas Hobbes, the English philosopher, and Milton, the English poet, despite the strict ban. Towards the end of his life he became blind and died in 1642 while still under house arrest.
The Church hence closed all doors for the creation of new knowledge, relegating the Catholic world into backwardness. On the other hand, Protestant countries free from such religious restrictions created new knowledge and progressed politically and economically.
Though many scientists and philosophers were condemned by the Church, the new knowledge discovered by them overpowered the extremist religious views and transformed the world. In 1992, some 350 years after his death, the case of Galileo was reopened by the Catholic Church and Pope John Paul acknowledged the error on part of the Church authorities and declared Galileo right in his views. This was a triumph of knowledge against faith, even if it came several centuries too late.

I couldn’t help being reminded of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn while reading The Secret Life of Bees. It is the story of a poor, ignorant white girl and how her world view is changed by her black companion. Our hero is young and ignorant, which may be why this is The Secret Life of Bees instead of The Secret Lives of Bees.
Set in the South in the early 1960s the story is about race, ignorance, hatred, and features the usual cast of bigoted white redneck men and noble well-educated black women. As in Dances With Wolves, our hero is the only sane white person in the story. Not that there is a lot of sanity floating around anywhere in The Secret Life of Bees, madness seems to be in the air along with the bees.
I love the name Black Madonna Honey. I like the rhythm that The Secret Life of Bees has. Each chapter starts with a little quote about bees and there is constant chatter about the wondrous properties of honey. I like Fireweed Honey myself. While not really a book about bees, there is a lot of bee talk sprinkled throughout the story. This was a very good book.
Sue Monk Kidd’s website has a list of actors for the movie. I think Dakota Fanning as Lily Owens is good choice. I think Jennifer Hudson is a little too pretty to play Rosaleen, but then, they seldom make the characters in movies look like the characters in the books. The beekeeping sisters are played by Queen Latifah (August), Alicia Keys (June) and Sophie Okonedo (May). I think Queen Latifah is the wrong type for the role of August-she really doesn’t strike me as the wise old mother earth type that August was in the book. Paul Bettany seems a the right type to play Lily’s slightly mad, peach farmer father T. Ray. Tristan Wilds (Zach), Derek Luke (Neil) and Hilarie Burton (Deborah) all look good.
If you don’t want to wait for the movie, The Secret Life of Bees is a good read.

As we already know, exposure to UV radiation is hazardous to our skin and our overall health. But did you know that it can also cause dilated blood vessels, known as spider veins? The truth is that if you’re not careful enough in the sun, UV radiation can affect your vein health. Here’s how:
First thing to understand is that there are two types ofultraviolet rays: UVA rays and UVB rays. UVA rays are the ones to be most wary about, as they penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB rays. And once you are exposed, these rays attack the DNA of cells as well as cell membranes.
According to recent research at John Hopkins University, because ultraviolet rays damage your body at a cellular level, your skin’s fibers become affected. And once your skin fibers are harmed, the skin starts to show signs of premature aging. As a result, your blood vessels are likely to weaken and dilate, causing the possibility of spider veins.
While many cases of spider veins occur in the vessels of your legs, it’s not uncommon that they can also affect your nose, cheeks, and chin. Even though this is generally a cosmetic issue, they can be quite symptomatic, causing aches and burning sensations.
If you think you may be at risk for spider veins or already suffer from the condition, contact Island Vein specialists. We offer sclerotherapy and laser therapy to treat your veins and get you back to feeling like yourself again! Dr. John F. Gallagher offers vein treatment procedures to patients across Long Island, parts of Queens, and other regions. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

THIS HASN'T BEEN a good decade for white males, not so far anyway. The dead ones -- like Christopher Columbus -- have been reassessed and found wanting, recalled like defective Pintos. The live ones -- like the majority of the characters in Clark Blaise's new short-story collection -- are just plain breaking down.
Man and His World chronicles the decline with a cynical eroticism and weary eloquence. The first story, "A Tour around My Father," sets the tone for the book. Mixing regret and resignation, the narrator, a middle-aged writer, comes to terms with his father's failures and, by extension, his own.
Later, in "Did, Had, Was," Blaise maps out, with painstaking precision, the emotional and mental collapse of a fiftysomething journalist. The protagonist, Paul Picard, has come a long way from his roots in rural Quebec. He has become respected and famous -- "our Orwell," a friend reminds him. But despite his success, Picard's personal life is falling apart; his clearest memories are of the distant past. Meanwhile, the narrative shifts back and forth between Picard's unravelling thought processes -- between what's already lost and what's slipping away.
Whether the stories in Man and His World are psychologically dense, as in "Did, Had, Was," or quirky and fanciful -- as in "The Love God," a strange tale about a man fathered by a horse -- they are all linked by a common quality of desperation. (They should, incidentally, be read in sequence.) It's as if the characters are trying hard to regain their balance or simply catch their breath. "After a certain age," Picard explains, "chaos becomes exponential in a man's life and the brain rebels."
What Blaise, 52, brings to all of these stories is an unflinching eye for the dark side of the male mid-life crisis. There's no safe ground, no neutral territory, as the protagonist of the title story -- a man who's kidnapped his son from his estranged wife -- recognizes: "The adjacent space, he had learned, may always be evil." There is also less and less to look forward to, as another of Blaise's middle-aged characters confesses:
I have learned that after fifty, a man
encounters no more surprises, every-
thing is vaguely predictable. By the
age of fifty, the millions of random
thoughts, the thousands of people
we've met, the hundreds of thousands
of separate articles, books, words, all
begin to coalesce. Our character
becomes multiple contingency...
It's been six years between short-story collections for Blaise (his last book was Resident Alien), long enough, perhaps, for readers to forget just how intelligent and instinctive a storyteller he is. Man and His World is a wonderful reminder.
At one point, the narrator of "A Tour around My Father," one of the more overtly autobiographical pieces in the book, refers to his own writing as "an acquired taste." There is some truth to that. A story like "Meditations on Starch," for example, seems a little disjointed at first, but by the final scene -- the narrator visits Freud's house in Vienna -- every theme Blaise takes on in the story, including the decline of European culture and tradition, comes sharply into focus. "Dunkelblau" is similarly hard to find your way into. Once there, though, it's a deftly realized view of the world, circa 1945 -- "the best and worst year in history" -- through the eyes of a troubled, precocious child.
Probably the best thing about Man and His World is Blaise's fresh, idiosyncratic approach to what a short story can and should do. The classic definition of the form centres on overcoming its limitations -- in terms of length or character development or narrative unity; Blaise focuses instead on the expansiveness of the form. A short story, according to Blaise, provides the opportunity to say everything there is to say about a single incident.
My favourite example here of how this philosophy is put into practice is "Sweetness and Light." One of the most intriguing short stories I've read for a long time, it covers a remarkably rich and broad range of territory, telling how a widower from Chicago ends up in an obscure village in India, on a Fullbright fellowship, married to a local prostitute, and observing the behaviour of monkeys.
For all its surprising offbeat material and plot twists, and despite Blaise's lyrical prose style, this is a disturbing, often gloomy book. Even the stories that don't deal specifically with middle age -- like "Dunkelblau" and the equally engaging "Snake in Flight over Pittsburgh" -- are relentlessly dark. In the end, though, it's an illuminating darkness.

It is unfortunate that Tanzania continues to brazenly suffer from land disputes. Despite political statements and various policy measures land conflicts have persisted in the country. These include land ownership disputes, conflict of interests involving crop farmers and pastoralists, traditional land owners and prospective investors, development planners in government and its related institutions versus holders of land plots.
Different studies have shown that land so pervasively underpins human activity that it usually plays roles which are so crucial that it almost invariably figures into many violent disputes worldwide.
It is interesting to note that many of the disputes are rooted in land scarcity, or skewed distribution and allocation of the precious resource among different stakeholders, both extant and prospective.
But judging by many standards Tanzania has no shortage of land to speak of. Some 885,800 square kilometres (342,007 square miles) of the country’s total area of 947,300 square kilometres (365,753 square miles) is land, terra firma, as distinct from water bodies and the atmosphere. This being the case on the ground, there is no earthly reason why Tanzania should suffer land conflicts. Yet, principal government officials have constantly been embroiled in land conflicts-solving.
But, clearly, this has been of little or no avail with nary a lasting solution found. As reported in The Citizen yesterday, Lands Minister William Lukuvi directed the transfer or reassignment of staff dealing with land issues in Morogoro Region to other duties.
After receiving a barrage of complaints on land issues from his audience last Friday, the minister decided that removing the local land officials would resolve matters.
This has never worked in the past, as transferring or reassigning errant workers amounts to shifting the errancy/problem bag and baggage to other locations – thus perpetuating rather than solving the problem once and for all.

Outer Tie Rod Ends... stuck
I am looking for some help. I have a 98 Deville and I am trying to replace the out tie rod ends. There's lots of threads on this but I don't see any that address my situation.
My tie rod ends don't have a jam nut. Part of the tie rod end is bolt shaped so you can put an open end wrench on it, but you can't turn it until you have popped the end out of the knuckle (Everybody else seems to have a jam nut). I can't get the end to turn off the threaded shaft of the inner. I am trying to hold the inner at a flat spot with a 10 inch vice grips but I can't hold it tight enough to break the end free. I have a big pipe wrench on the end but the metal just starts to shred at the flat spot on the inner turning everything. I tried torching the end with a MAP torch until it was red hot, but that didn't seem to do anything. If this has happened to anybody else, I would really like to know how you finally got the ends off.

I better not quit my day job.
I do have jam nuts, they were just so rusty they looked like one piece. After this was pointed out to me they came right off.

Section 54 of the Income Tax Act
Section 54 of Income Tax Act
Section 54 of the Income Tax Act provides the seller of a residential property with relief from capital gains tax. The section allows taxpayers to obtain relief from capital gains tax only if the proceeds from the sale are used to acquire another residential property. Owners of residential property in many cases sell their property only to purchase another property due to various reasons like moving from jobs, retirement, and so on. In such a case, a property is sold by a taxpayer not for gains from the proceeds, but for the purpose of changing the residence. Hence, when a taxpayer sells a residential property and purchases another property, the taxpayer is exempt from capital gains under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act.
Eligibility under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act
The following conditions must be satisfied by the taxpayer to claim benefits under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act:
- The taxpayer is an individual or HUF. Exemption under Section 54 is not available for companies, partnership firms or Limited Liability Partnerships.
- The asset transferred should be a long-term capital asset, which is a residential house property.
- Within a period of one year before or two years after the date of transfer of the old house, the taxpayer should acquire another residential house or should construct a residential house within a period of three years from the date of transfer of the old house. In the case of compulsory acquisition, the period of acquisition or construction will be determined from the date of receipt of compensation (whether original or additional).
A taxpayer can claim benefit under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act for one residential house property purchased or constructed in India only. If a taxpayer is involved in more than one such transaction during the lifetime of the concerned individual, the benefit will be available for one of the transaction only. Finally, a taxpayer cannot sell a home in India and buy a home abroad, while claiming benefit under Section 54. The home purchased or constructed must be in India only.
Long Term vs Short Term Capital Gains
A short-term capital asset is an asset which is held not more than 36 months or less. Any gain from selling a short-term capital asset is termed as a short-term capital gain. A long-term capital asset is an asset which is held for more than 36 months. Any gain from selling a long-term capital asset is termed as a long-term capital gain. To claim benefit under Section 54, one of the important criteria is that the residential property is a long-term capital asset. Hence, to claim capital gains exemption, the property must have been held by the taxpayer for a period of more than 3 years from the date of purchase.
Transfer of Property After Claiming Benefit under Section 54
Further, if a taxpayer claims any benefit under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act and purchases or constructs a new house, it is necessary to hold that property for a minimum period of three years. If the taxpayer sells the property before the end of three years, then the benefit granted under Section 54 will be withdrawn and the taxpayer would have to pay the capital gains due on the previous transaction.
Amount of Exemption
The amount of capital gains exemption under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act will be the lower of:
- Amount of capital gains arising on transfer of the residential house.
- Investments made in the purchase or construction of a new residential house property.
Capital Gains Deposit Account Scheme
Under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act, a taxpayer having long-term capital gains from the sale of a residential property can avoid the same by purchasing or constructing a residential property one year before or two years after (in case of purchase of property) or before three years (in case of construction of property). In some cases, the proceeds from the sale of the residential property would not have been invested by the taxpayer at the time of filing of income tax returns. In such cases, the capital gains benefit under Section 54 can be availed by depositing the unutilized amount in Capital Gains Deposit Account Scheme in any branch of public sector bank. The new house can later be purchased or constructed by withdrawing the deposits from the account within a time frame of two or three years. If the deposits are not utilized within the stipulated period for the purpose of purchase or construction, the amount deposited will be taxable.

French Constitutional Council Overturns 75% Tax on Ultrarich
France's Constitutional Council overturned a 75% tax rate on incomes above EUR 1 M on Saturday.
The 75% tax rate on incomes above EUR 1 M was included in the government's 2013 budget, approved by parliament in September, according to reports of the BBC News.
France's highest constitutional authority announced it was overturning the Socialist government's flagship 75% income tax rate for high earners because it was "excessive" and represented a "breach of equality of taxes."
The French constitutional panel said in a statement that the way the upper tax rate was set to be imposed was unfair in the way it would affect different households.
The new tax rate, which was to take effect in 2013, was expected to affect some 1500 people and to raise around EUR 300 M a year.
Critics of the tax hike for high earners cautioned that it would drive away the country's wealthiest citizens.
Earlier in December, French actor Gerard Depardieu declared that he was moving to Belgium to seek tax exile status.

By Rebecca Shabad
Amid renewed calls for urgent action on gun control, members of Congress are weighing potentially bipartisan ideas to curb gun violence after mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, Dayton, Ohio and Gilroy, California,over the last two weeks have left nearly three dozen people dead.
The legislative proposals under consideration include stronger background checks, “red flag” laws that prevent those threatening harm to themselves or others from buying or possessing firearms and bans on large-capacity magazines or assault-style firearms.
House and Senate lawmakers are back home in their districts for August recess, however, and are expected to stick to that schedule given that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has ignored Democrats’ calls to bring the Senate back for an emergency session to take up House-passed legislation to tighten background checks on gun buyers.
The Senate’s absence through Labor Day could diminish any momentum for action, resulting in Congress not passing any legislation at all — as was the case after numerous mass shootings over the last decade such as the 2012 Newtown mass shooting, the2017 Las Vegas shooting and 2018 shooting in Parkland, Florida.
“I think that we have to take advantage of this moment of opportunity because once it passes, we go back to the status quo,” said Michael Siegel, professor at Boston University’s School of Public Health, who has studied how state gun laws affect gun violence.
A study Siegel conducted of state gun laws and their effects from 1991 to 2016 found that universal background checks, red flag laws and bans on gun possession for those who have committed violent misdemeanors would have the greatest effect in reducing gun deaths.
Democrats are calling on McConnell to take up a bill the House passed in February that would establish new background check requirements for firearm transfers between unlicensed people. But only eight House Republicans voted in favor of the bill, and its Senate outlook is uncertain.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., said he wants to revisit a similar universal background checks measure he co-sponsored with Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., that fell six votes short of advancing in 2013. Of the four Republicans who backed the proposal at the time, only Toomey and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, still serve in the Senate.
After speaking with President Donald Trump and with McConnell after the shootings, however, Toomey said calling the Senate back to Washington immediately could backfire for those seeking legislative action.
“If we force a vote tomorrow, then I think the vote probably fails and we may actually set back this whole effort,” Toomey said during a conference call with reporters on Monday. “So for a successful outcome, which is what I want, then I think you work towards developing the coalition and the consensus so that you actually get the right outcome.”
Everytown for Gun Safety President John Feinblatt warned that Republicans will face angry voters at home in their districts if they wait to take action.
“August recess is going to be a very rough month for Republicans because I think what you are going to see is grassroots activists in every district, particularly districts that are up in 2020,” he said. “We have 300 grassroots events already scheduled for just this week. So that gives you a little bit of taste of what August is going to be like.”
Monday morning, Trump initially called for “strong background checks” on Twitter, saying such legislation could be paired with “desperately needed immigration reform.” In later remarks at the White House, he also called for red flag laws and for legislators to reform mental health laws.
Experts, however, have said there’s no evidence that people with mental illness are at a higher risk for committing gun violence.
“It is important to note that the overwhelming majority of people with mental illness are not violent and far more likely to be victims of violent crime than perpetrators of violence,” the American Psychiatric Association said in a statement this week. “Rhetoric that argues otherwise will further stigmatize and interfere with people accessing needed treatment. Individuals can also be emboldened to act violently by the public discourse and divisive rhetoric.”
Democrats expressed skepticism that Trump will commit to these plans given that he initially voiced support for background checks after the Parkland shooting in 2018 only to make more modest proposals after discussions with the NRA.

A pastor from North Carolina, who has thrown his support behind Donald Trump, says that African-Americans should “return” to Africa to build infrastructure since they can’t find jobs here.
During an appearance on CNN, Apostle Thomas Rodgers, Sr. of Antioch Road to Glory International Ministries, told host Carol Costello that black Americans should apply for “dual citizenship” and go to Africa where they can find jobs building roads and bridges. This simple step, said Rodgers, would have the added bonus of ridding America of gang violence.
“African-Americans are the only people in the world who do not seek dual citizenship,” Rodgers said. “That’s why Chicago gangs, California gangs, the Crips and the Bloods and Detroit in Michigan — we have gangs in the streets because blacks have no vision, they have no leadership.”
Costello asked the pastor to explain comments he had made “about building a road back to Africa.”
Matter of fact, where our ancestors came from, from the Indian Ocean all the way across the Atlantic Ocean, that’s 4,000 miles and we want to go back and help with the highways all the way across, to create jobs, train rails, pipelines, oil, petroleum. They create jobs for young people that can’t find jobs here, that the Democrats have not did.”
“I think it would give young people in prison [jobs] just like Great Britain did,” he opined.
“So you are suggesting young people in trouble should go back to Africa, perhaps to find jobs?” Costello asked.
“Not to go back, but I say to return,” Rodgers insisted. “It’s a clause in the United Nations charter, our right to return, to help build infrastructure. Everybody don’t want to stay here. We are skilled people.”
Democratic strategist Angela Rye, who was visibly struggling not to burst out laughing while the pastor was talking, noted that if he is speaking about building a “literal” bridge back to Africa, his plan was “probably impossible.” After all, there are oceans and stuff between America and Africa, so maybe, just maybe, a bridge isn’t all that plausible.
“I apologize for laughing,” Rye added as she couldn’t hold back her amusement any longer and let a few giggles slip.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has chalked out a Rs 3.10 lakh crore plan to build 22 greenfield expressways as part of a plan to decongest major cities.
Of the 7,500 km new roads, NHAI plans to build six expressways of 2,250 km, entailing an investment of Rs 1.45 lakh crore, while another 16 greenfield corridors with aggregate length of 5,250 km will require an investment of Rs 1.65 lakh crore.
These expressways will help mitigate issues like land acquisition, utility shifting and other clearances related to brown-field expansion.
The projects are expected to be ready by FY25. Of these, work on three expressways has already begun, Delhi-Mumbai expressway being the major one, also India’s longest expressway at 1,320 km.
Among the corridors NHAI proposes to build are–Ahmedabad-Dholera, Delhi-Amritsar-Katra, Chennai-Bengaluru, Kanpur-Lucknow, Bengaluru Ring Road, Amritsar-Bhatinda-Jamnagar, Hyderabad-Raipur, and Nagpur-Vijayawada.
The expressways will help improve alignment and provide connectivity to major towns, thereby reducing travel time.
The Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has sought a budgetary support of around Rs 94,000 crore for FY21. In the budget for 2019-20, MoRTH was allocated a budgetary support of Rs 83,015 crore.
NHAI is also planning to raise around Rs 65,000 crore in FY21. NHAI’s borrowing target is Rs 10,000 crore less than what was approved in 2019.
