Google Pixel 4, the next-generation flagship phone by the search goliath, is probably going to make a big appearance later this year. Be that as it may, in front of any formal details, several leak-based renders proposing the design of the new Pixel phone have surfaced on the Web. The handset is dared to retain the traditional display notch that was included on the Pixel 3 XL a year ago and sport a square bump at the back within any event a dual camera setup. Google is also guessed to incorporate either an in-display fingerprint sensor or 3D face unlock technology inside the Pixel 4.
The fresh renders, cordiality OnLeaks, and PriceBaba are remarkably based on early prototyping schematics. It is, accordingly, safe to take them with some suspicion.
According to the renders, Google Pixel 4 accompanies a square camera module at the back. The module seems like what has so far been seen from the early renders of the iPhone XI. Further, it is trusted that the square bump has, at any rate, a dual rear camera setup — the first in the Pixel series since past Pixel models had a solitary camera sensor at the back.
The renders likewise feature the absence of a traditional fingerprint sensor from the back of the Pixel 4. This proposes that the phone may have an in-display fingerprint sensor or 3D face unlock module at the front. Likewise, there is an earpiece at the front to allude at the accessibility of a display notch. This could be like the notch included on the Pixel 3 XL a year ago.
Late last month, a screen defender render allegedly compatible with the Pixel 4 was spotted online that tipped a double hole-punch selfie camera framework. The most recent renders, however, don’t affirm the hole-punch design.
Particularly taking a gander at the second render, the phone seems to have 2 speaker grills and a USB Type-C port at the base. The Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 handsets notably had front-firing speakers.
The render likewise demonstrates a volume rocker and a power/ lock key on the right side of the smartphone, while its left side is bare. There is additionally no 3.5 mm headphone jack visible on the handset.

In terms of details, Google Pixel 4 is rumored to accompany

Furthermore, we can securely expect that as the past, there could be not only one but 2 models in the 2019 Pixel flagship lineup.
At I/O 2019 a month ago, Google revealed that it is set to give next-generation Assistant on the substitutions to the Pixel 3 series, probably the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. The new voice assistant offers quicker responses by running locally on the hardware over the current Google Assistant model that sends directions to a remote server over the Internet.


2 If the Beatles didn’t exist, this would still just be ‘ok’. Genre-wise, it’s all over the place. Never been a Who fan. Still am not.
Arguably nirvana’s best album. Shows a ton of growth musically and lyrically from Nevermind. The biggest shame is not knowing what would have come next. Highlights: Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle, Milk It, Dumb
Strange. Some songs are too long and drone along at the same tempo for way too much time. Length is an issue overall. I have no problem with long songs, I just don’t need to listen to 10 of them in a row. This was ok, but I’ll never go back to it.
The most recognizable White Stripes album due to Seven Nation Army. Inclusion of more piano started to show some change for the band. Contains the best Meg song (In the Cold Cold Night) and one of my favourites, Ball and Biscuit.
When you think of the Eagles, the sound on a majority of this encompasses ‘The Eagles’ sound; multi-voice harmonizing, multiple guitar parts, signature 70s blue jeans rock n roll. Chug All Night is fun. Tryin’ is great too. The biggest downfall is that the slower songs don’t seem to stick out as much as the more upbeat ones.
Ok, listen, I can’t stand Perry Farrell’s voice. I could barely make it through this album. If you know anyone that says Janes Addiction is their favourite band, please be a friend to them and get them some help.
As smooth as butter. Can almost guarantee at least three children were conceived while this album was being played.
Sloan 1967. This does nothing for me at all.
My favourite noise rock band. Sonic Youth goes a *little* mainstream due to grunge wrapping itself around their sound and style. Kim Gordon’s growly vocals show huge influence over Courtney Love’s Hole persona. Killer record. I sure miss these guys.
Is this actual music, or the soundtrack to Plan 9 From Outer Space? COOL IT WITH THE FUCKING THEREMIN! Would not recommend.
I like Bowie a lot. He’s a friggin chameleon, musically and physically. We’re still in the heyday of glam rock with this. Panic in Detroit. Jean Genie. Watch that Man. This is a good. Yeah, there’s things I’m going to skip. But its Bowie. A SOLID three stars.
This album is good-ish. The inclusion of Malibu, which is a song that I absolutely adore, brings the score up. Hole goes pop-ish. But Malibu is fantastic. Malibu.
What. The. Fuck.
There was once a very brief time during grunge that electronica was considered ‘alternative’. People seemed to really love it. I was not one of those people. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t terrible, it just isn’t my thing. If there was an album that was the Matrix soundtrack, other than the Matrix soundtrack, it would be this.
12 songs in 28 minutes. I liked this. But it’s still a conundrum.. i feel that it’s too long of an album. The brothers’ harmonizing is great. The music itself is very signature sound from the time. Some really rad piano in Baby What You Want Me To Do. But I can only take so much of it. But I didn’t hate it. The 2 is a very strong 2… definitely 2.5
Admittedly, I know nothing about this band. But I did enjoy the first 30 minutes of this album, then it started to lose me only because of the length. It has a really nice Clash/Smiths ‘punk’ vibe that really appeals to me. This is the first time since we started doing this that I’ve listened to an album by a band I know nothing about and am pretty sure I’ll check out more of their catalogue from this.
I do not like Paul Simon. But there’s some good songs on here. I’m solely basing my review on the singles. Graceland. Solid. You Can Call Me Al. Chevy Chase endorsed. Really solid. The rest? Never will listen.
Tom Waits doing what he does best; crooning about love and the dirty parts of culture, letting his voice carry the songs with minimalistic music at times. I’ve always loved that he will craft a song and bring uncommon instruments to the forefront while pushing traditional instruments to the back. Lots of organ on this one. Will always have a huge soft spot for Jersey Girl, but everything else on this album is so solid. Heartattack and Vine and Downtown stand out for me.
Brit pop has always been fun to me. Grew up through the explosion, so listened to a lot of Blur pre-Song 2 infamy. This one is alright. Fairly straightforward, nothing pushing the boundaries like Parklife did, which is still one of my favourite Blur tracks. Enjoyable to listen to. Nostalgic for me.
The album that defined a generation. How many bands would we not know because of this album? How many bands did we find because we wanted more like this. Yes there are better grunge albums. But this one was THE ONE. Stand out tracks: Come as you Are, Lithium, Something in the Way 4.5 but leaning towards 5

Marlins hire Peter Bendix as president of baseball ops
Posted on: 06 Nov, 2023 at 03:39 PM
Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
The Miami Marlins officially introduced Peter Bendix on Monday as the third president of baseball operations in club history.
Bendix, 38, spent the past 15 seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays, the last two as general manager and senior vice president of baseball operations. The Rays claimed three division titles and made eight playoff appearances over that span, including a trip to the 2020 World Series.
"It is an exciting day for the Marlins organization as we welcome Peter and his wife, Lauren, to Miami and introduce Peter as our President of Baseball Operations," said Marlins chairman and principal owner Bruce Sherman. "Peter is an established industry leader with an extensive skill set and deep experience that will continue the momentum we have made on the Major League level, while also strategically building the foundation for sustained success through player acquisition, development, and scouting at all levels. In addition to the extensive track record of winning with the Rays, Peter showcased leadership and culture-defining abilities that will have a tremendous impact on our organization."
Bendix was hired three weeks after the departure of general manager Kim Ng, who became the first female general manager of a men's team in major U.S. sports in November 2020. She saw the Marlins improve from 67 wins in 2021 to 69 in 2022 and then 84 with a playoff appearance this past season.
Bendix will oversee the entire baseball operations department in Miami.
"It is a proud and exciting moment for me and Lauren, and I would like to thank Bruce for his confidence in entrusting me with such an important role," Bendix said. "I am eager to get to South Florida and to begin working with the talented and passionate people throughout the Marlins organization."
After posting their most wins since 2009, the Marlins were swept in the wild-card round this October by the Philadelphia Phillies.
"Peter has a great reputation within baseball and is committed to achieving sustained excellence in all areas of Baseball Operations," said Marlins manager Skip Schumaker. "I am looking forward to working alongside Peter to bring the Marlins back to the playoffs."
A native of Cleveland, Bendix originally joined the Rays as an intern in 2009 after graduating from Tufts University.

Pirates hang on to
BRAIN BAILEY SHOW
Monday night's BRIAN BAILEY SHOW.
With the state playoffs getting underway,
Brian's guests were high school coaches
Paul Cornwell (Ayden-Grifton), Brian
Paschal (D.H. Conley), Dave Boal
(North Pitt) and Jim Bob Bryant
(Havelock). Eastern North
Carolina's longest running
sports radio call-in show airs each Monday
night from 6:30-7:30 on Pirate Radio 1250 and

Mobile Alpha version of this page.
Last week the Pirates finally
put together back-to-back wins.
Three in a row was apparently just asking too much. The rollercoaster
ride that has been the 2012 football season took a nasty nosedive as
fell to Navy 56-28.
The loss was eerily similar to the one against Navy at home two years
ago, when the Middies
put 76 points on the scoreboard.
That team gutted the Pirates up the middle.
This time Navy went wide, with a plethora of running backs and an
outstanding young quarterback, and once again rushed for over 500 yards
on the Bagwell Field turf.
The Pirates played like they had never seen the option.
“It’s embarrassing,” said ECU safety Chip Thompson. “But we put a lot of
work on the option throughout the year. It certainly didn’t show
While I think the Pirates did put in plenty of work on the option, I
came away from Saturday night’s game convinced that ECU never caught up
to the speed of Navy's flavor of the option. It literally looked like
the Pirates were outmanned on the edge on every rushing attempt.
“We could have done a better job on the perimeter,” said East Carolina
coach Ruffin McNeill after the loss. “We knew we would have to shed a
block and make a tackle, and that just didn’t happen tonight.”
Damon Magazu agreed.
“Our scout team gave us good looks on the option, but you just can’t
duplicate that speed,” he said.
Coach McNeill may have said it best with his opening statement in
Saturday night's post-game presser.
“The 24-hour rule is in effect, and this time it may be shorter then
that — I’m glad this game is over,” McNeill said. [Select
and replay audio clip of Saturday's post-game presser in a new window...]
That “24-hour” rule in the program is an understanding within the team
that the previous game, be it a win or a loss, would only be discussed
for a day. I’m not sure how strictly it is enforced, but I would say the
team needs to put this loss in the past quickly.
Coach Ruff could have added in those postgame comments that he was glad
the series was over, at least for now. Navy put up 76, 35 and 56 points
against the Pirates in three games. Somehow, the Pirates
won the middle game in Annapolis,
when they at least slowed down the option attack.
It was like a freight train coming through this time though.
McNeill has a saying that you don’t let one loss beat you twice. East

The Cougars have also seen their share of ups and downs this season.
Houston comes to town as a 3-point favorite.

In a previous post, Nuwire writer Eric Ames profiled “The Infinite Banking Concept“. This was a followup post to an article titled: The Infinite Banking Concept: Be Your Own Bank. I’d like to provide a fresh perspective on this concept, because I believe that it’s being overcomplicated by many well-meaning advocates.
What Is The Banking Concept?
Short version: It’s the idea that you can eliminate the use of banks and credit card companies for most (sometimes all) loans and just borrow money from yourself instead. When you do this, you earn the interest a bank would make off you.
The banking business is thousands of years old, but the idea of “becoming your own banker” originated with a guy named Nelson Nash (at least, this is what the marketing literature says).
If you search for “Infinite Banking” on the Internet, you’ll find the most popular advocates of this concept are R. Nelson Nash (“The Infinite Banking Concept”), Pamela Yellen (“Bank On Yourself”), Jeffery Reeves (“YouBeTheBank”), and Don Blanton (“Circle of Wealth”). Every advocate has, up to this point, been able to explain the concept with varying degrees of success.
The concept, in it’s simplest form, is this: create your own private “banking system,” of sorts, by saving up some money somewhere. Then, use this pool of money to finance everything in your life. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Regardless of what you do in life, whether you spend your money or you invest it, you have to use a banking system to facilitate the transaction. All of the money in the world goes through someone’s bank. Advocates of the banking concept argue that you should just set up a “private bank” of your own and use that.
Sounds sensible. Let’s try it.
Using Dividend-Paying Whole Life Insurance
Nash, et al. often claim that “banking is a process, not a product,” and I agree. You technically don’t need to use life insurance to pull this off, but most everyone you talk to will tell you it’s a good idea to use it. They’re not wrong, either.
If you use a simple checking account, the process is dead-simple: build up a savings, borrow from yourself, repay yourself with the interest a bank or credit card company would charge you. You earn the interest a lender would have made off you.
So, why use a life insurance policy? Because… life insurance takes the basic idea and adds a guaranteed growth rate, (non-guaranteed) dividends, a death benefit, and attractive loan rates to the mix. In other words, it takes the basic idea and makes it much, much better without introducing undue risk.
Some critics argue you could do better than using whole life. The fact of the matter is it’s not literally impossible to do this by buying a term life insurance policy and investing the money you’d save by not buying a whole life policy (called “buy term and invest the difference”). It’s just impractical for most people to do it, and do it with the same efficiency as a whole life policy.
The basic problem with using investments to do this is… it’s very easy to lose a lot of money because you introduce a lot of risk. You could be upside down on your loans, your savings could lose value, and moving in and out of investments creates a lot of transaction costs that you won’t have with an insurance policy. Also, if you cash out of investments to “borrow” from yourself (instead of using loans), you lose interest on your savings until you fully repay yourself.
Also… there’s nothing wrong with having a secure savings-like vehicle like life insurance. It’s like a foundation for a home. You build the foundation (insurance). Then you build the house (investments). If the house falls down, well at least you have something from which to rebuild. Enter whole life insurance.
Claim up to $26,000 per W2 Employee
- Billions of dollars in funding available
- Funds are available to U.S. Businesses NOW
- This is not a loan. These tax credits do not need to be repaid
Whole life insurance allows you to integrate insurance and a savings function (the cash value, which is not technically savings but rather equity in the contract). The cash value replaces the pure insurance (the death benefit) over time and does it on a guaranteed basis. Some life insurance companies take this one step further and offer potential for you to earn dividends (which are not guaranteed to be paid) on the policy which can grow the death benefit and cash value over time. Once earned, you can never lose the dividend payment or corresponding cash value.
When actuaries describe life insurance, they describe it in terms of an indivisible contract. There is no actual separation of cash value and death benefit. So a $100,000 insurance policy, with $50,000 of cash value, means that you have $50,000 of pure insurance (not $100,000). The total contract, however, is worth $100,000 ($50,000 of cash value + $50,000 of pure insurance).
Think of insurance contracts as existing on a continuum. On the far right-hand side of the field, we have term life insurance. You pay low premiums and you have no cash value. Moving on over to the other side of the field is a single-premium policy. You pay one outrageous premium payment and have that amount available immediately as cash value in the policy. You’ll notice that, as you move beyond the term life product, these policies become a combined savings and insurance contract. Somewhere along the way to riches, fame, and power, we run into the MEC guideline:
A modified endowment contract (called a “MEC”) is IRS-speak for a life insurance policy that has failed the Guideline Premium Test (GPT) or the Cash Value Accumulation Test (CVAT) outlined in the tax code at IRC section 7702. If you fund your policy so heavily with premiums that it crosses that MEC line, then the IRS will reclassify your life insurance contract as an investment, and all withdrawals and policy loans will be subject to income tax.
Your access to cash values will also be restricted prior to age 59 1/2 (basically, your policy will be treated as a non-qualified retirement account). In other words, it destroys the flexibility and advantages of the policy.
In order to do this banking concept thing, you are going to need access to all of those cash values. You do this through the built-in policy loan feature of your contract. Policy loans are very different from traditional bank loans. First, there is no credit application and your loan is only limited by the amount of cash value you have available in the policy.
Secondly, there is no set repayment period. You choose the terms of the repayment. You may even keep the loan open until your death. If you do, the insurance company will simply deduct the loan amount from your death benefit and pay your beneficiaries the remainder. When you want to take out a policy loan, you simply call up the insurer and request a policy loan. The insurance company issues the loan, and then secures the loan amount with an equal amount of death benefit (some insurers say they secure the cash value) from your policy.
For example, if you have $100,000 in cash value in your policy, and you want a $10,000 loan, the insurer will give you $10,000 and then secure the loan with $10,000 from your policy. This leaves $90,000 available for future loans. As you repay the loan, your cash value is restored with each payment. What’s really special about these loans is that the insurer will continue to pay interest and dividends on the original $100,000 amount if you set up the loan provisions properly when you first set up the policy contract.
Some insurers change the dividend payout by lowering or raising it on any loaned cash value, while other insurers keep the dividend the same regardless of loan activity. You’ll hear the former referred to as “direct recognition” and the latter as “non-direct recognition.”
Some insurance agents will tout the benefits of non-direct recognition heavily but don’t drink the Kool-Aid. There’s no magic here. With non-direct recognition, an insurer can afford to keep the dividend the same on loaned cash value because it either raises expenses in the policy or lowers the dividend they could otherwise pay to everyone, all the time (which slightly favors people who are taking loans all the time). It’s not a big deal, but something to be aware of.
How Nash, Yellen, and Others Do It
There are many advocates of the Infinite Banking Concept out there. R. Neslon Nash was the first. Others followed, like Pamela Yellen (“Bank on Yourself”), Don Blanton (“Circle of Wealth”), Jeffery Reeves (“You Be The Bank”), Douglas Andrews (that “Missed Fortune” guy) and sometimes the folks over there at L.E.A.P.
Most advocates of the banking concept tell you to use a “life paid up at 65” policy or maybe a “life paid up at 100” or something similar. In order to build up the cash value quickly, you have to do something called “overfunding” the policy. This is done by adding a special rider to the policy called a “paid-up additions” rider.
The rider modifies the contract to allow additional premium payments to be made. The additional premium payments go directly towards buying paid-up life insurance death benefit which has its own cash value and generates its own dividend. There are no (or very small) commission payments paid to the agent on this additional insurance so the cash value for the additional paid-up insurance grows rather quickly.
The problem with this method isn’t that it can’t be done. It’s that it’s complicated and difficult for the average insurance agent to follow. The client doesn’t need to know a lot about policy design, but the agent sure as heck does. And, you need a very knowledgeable agent to help you. Agents which are in short supply.
And even if an agent has heard of the concept, it doesn’t mean they will actually help you implement it. And even if they want to help you implement it, it doesn’t mean they have the chops to pull it off.
“Overfunding” a policy requires an understanding of what a modified endowment contract is, how to take policy loans and repay them with a paid-up additions rider on the policy, and monitoring how much money you’re paying towards the additional paid-up insurance rider when there is no loan outstanding so that the insurer doesn’t cancel the rider (most insurers will cancel the paid-up additions rider if you don’t use it after a certain period of time, though I’ve never heard an insurance agent adequately explain this to a client).
I have, however, personally seen agents butcher policy designs trying to set up one of these policies. It’s not pretty and the client won’t know until it’s too late.
Does this mean you shouldn’t ever buy a custom whole life policy? No, it does not. It just means you should make sure you’re working with a specialist. It’s like this… if you wanted a custom piece of wood furniture, you’d hire a master carpenter or a woodworking expert. You wouldn’t hire a weekend handyman because he’ll butcher the job. Same thing here.
Now let’s have a look at how to actually implement this insurance plan and make it work.

JVC Kenwood's Android Auto + Apple CarPlay Head Units Are Still MIA
Back at CES 2015, aftermarket head unit manufacturer JVC Kenwood announced two new head units that would rival Pioneer's NEX receivers. Both the head units, the DDX9902S and DDX9702S, will offer Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, thereby pitting them against Pioneer's AVH-4100NEX, AVIC-7100NEX and AVIC-8100NEX.
Although no release date was mentioned back in January, a recent Facebook post offered a hint on a possible end of May release for the receivers. But the end of May has come and gone and there still isn't any news on a possible availability date.
If you are curious about these head units and especially how they might be priced, keep reading.
As far as pricing goes, although no official word has been released by the manufacturer, online retailer Crutchfield has listed prices for the two receivers, allowing buyers to preorder the items. No shipping date is available at this time though.
The prices listed by Crutchfield are as follows...
JVC Kenwood DDX9902S: $749.99
JVC Kenwood DDX9702S: $699.99
These prices are very competitive (if accurate). Comparatively, the Pioneer AVH-4100NEX, which is the entry level head unit that offers both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, has a suggested retail price of $700. The AVIC-7100NEX is priced at $1200 while the flagship AVIC-8100NEX will cost you $1400.
With Pioneer's head units, however, lower prices are available through online retailers like Amazon and eBay. Current prices for the three head units range between $525 and $890. For the latest, look for the latest price section in the right column of this website.
I have contacted JVC Kenwood via Twitter regarding the availability of their head units. I am awaiting a response and will report back if I receive one.

TRAIN PASSENGERS TOOK TO BOAT
When Parkersburg Became an Island
Taken from a hand-written account by Mae Stump
First published 2001
In 1907 Parkersburg had two floods, one of over 40 feet on January
and the other cresting at nearly 52 feet on March 16th.
to old records, March 16, 1907 was a bright sunny day. Despite
welcomed sunshine, Parkersburg was an island with all roads in and out
of the city cut off by the high water.
But there were the boats which ran regularly on the Ohio and Little
Kanawha Rivers, flood or no flood. And, there were trains, or at
least there had been.
On the morning of the 16th, the Baltimore and Ohio's crack train,
St. Louis Limited, was trying desperately to reach Parkersburg with
105 passengers and her crew.
It seemed The Limited would make it but, about half a mile west of
Station, high water on the tracks put the fire out under her
With the fire gone, the supply of steam declined rapidly and the train
came to a hopeless halt surrounded by the muddy waters of the Little
However, there was just enough steam left for the engineer to blow
distress signal to a boat which could be seen passing rapidly, riding
swift current downstream toward Parkersburg.
An old newspaper reports "Captain Bill Stump, skipper of the
sternwheeler, RELIANCE, was headed downstream from Grantsville with a
16 feet wide and 60 feet long. The barge was loaded with
oak staves consigned to the Standard Oil Co. Refinery which was then
on Staunton Ave. These staves would be delivered and a load of
field equipment would then be taken back up the river and delivered to
different locations between Burning Springs and Grantsville."
The account of the old, near-tragedy continued, "Captain Stump was

Report from Abolition Media Worldwide on the rebellion which took place last weekend following the police murder of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta, Georgia.
A Wendy’s restaurant was set on fire on Saturday in Atlanta following the murder of Rayshard Brooks, yet another black man killed by police. The Wendy’s had called the pigs that killed Rayshard Brooks.
Atlanta’s police chief Erika Shields was forced to resign on Saturday, as the authorities feared another revolt on the scale of the Minneapolis uprising following the killing of George Floyd.
Militants on Saturday night set fire to the Wendy’s restaurant where Brooks was murdered the night before and blocked traffic on a nearby highway. Militants also looted stores, clashes with police, wrote graffiti slogans, and shut down a major freeway.
The Wendy’s had called the pigs on Rayshard Brooks for sleeping in his car and allegedly blocking the restaurant’s drive-thru lane. This case demonstrates how capitalist institutions and police conspire to murder black people.
Brooks was a father of four and had celebrated a daughter’s eighth birthday Friday before he was killed.
Since the murder of George Floyd, revolutionaries have taken to the streets throughout the United States, setting fire to police vehicles and even a precinct in Minneapolis. Abolitionist ideas have taken ahold among people in the streets, who no longer are willing to settle for reforms. As police continue to murder black people around the country, they will face militant retribution by people who are attacking the pig enemy and the capitalist infrastructure they protect.

Blood test for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease may be on horizon
A team of scientists from the University of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia discovered a "strong and consistent relationship" between certain antibodies and levels of cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's. The antibodies are created when the body detects the presence of two specific proteins that are strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease: amyloid-beta protein and RAGE protein.
For the study, researchers took blood samples from 118 older adults and compared antibody levels with levels of cognitive impairment. Researchers hope the discovery of the link between the two factors will eventually lead to a blood test for the disease. The research can be found in the current issue of the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences.

Now that the Permanent Court of Arbitration has ruled in favour of the Philippines in its dispute with China over maritime rights and jurisdictions in the South China Sea, Indonesia must respond appropriately and wisely to help weather the storm that is bound to follow.
Beijing has said all along that it would not abide by the ruling of the The Hague-based tribunal, refusing to take part in the hearing since Manila filed the case in January 2013.
China has warned of repercussions if anyone tried to implement the court's decision. What exactly this threat amounts to is anybody's guess at this stage, but Indonesia is now called upon to step up its diplomacy to prevent an escalation of the tension on our doorstep.
The wording of the court's decision is clear: China has no legal basis to claim historic rights to areas that fall under the Philippines' exclusive economic zone (EEZ); China has violated the Philippines' sovereign rights with its oil exploration activities, construction of artificial islands and allowance of Chinese fishermen to operate in the area; China's large scale land reclamation activities are harmful to the environment and marine life, and they are incompatible with the obligations of a state during a dispute resolution proceeding.
Indonesia will be consistent with its long-held policy of supporting and respecting international rules, including decisions made by UN bodies like the court in The Hague, which deals with the 1982 UN Conventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
In 2002, Indonesia had to swallow its pride when the International Court of Justice gave sovereignty over Sipadan and Ligitan, two small islands off Borneo, to Malaysia.
It would be nice if Indonesia could persuade China to take a page from its own bitter history of losing those islands by accepting the arbitrator's decision, even though it only pertains to maritime rights and jurisdictions, and not sovereignty rights.
But such an outcome is unlikely.
China has not lost any territory, and it should not feel that it has lost face. Manila and its allies, including the US, should not bask in the glory of the South China Sea decision.
The last thing anyone wants now is for tensions to escalate and for countries to declare allegiances with certain parties in the conflict.
This would polarise Asia and revive a new cold war, this time between China and the US.
There are no winners or losers.
Instead, this ruling provides an opening for countries with territorial disputes in the South China Sea to sit down and resolve their differences by peaceful means, as they have all agreed to the 2002 Asean-China declaration to adopt a code of conduct on the South China Sea.
Although Indonesia has its own dispute with China over fishing rights in the Natuna Sea, and even if the arbitration ruling strengthens its case against Beijing, Jakarta would be better off putting aside this issue for now.
It is far more urgent for Indonesia to help defuse the tension arising from this week's ruling.
But as the largest member of Asean, and as the third-largest country in Asia, it is incumbent that Indonesia does not take sides.
This is not the first time that Indonesia has been called upon to row between two reefs.
This will be the real test of Jakarta's diplomatic mettle.
The Jakarta Post is a member of The Straits Times media partner Asia News Network, an alliance of 21 newspapers.

AN inquiry into the impacts of online gambling has been launched.
Dunkley MP Peta Murphy chairs the House of Representatives’ standing committee on social policy and legal affairs. The committee is seeking submissions on online gambling and the impacts it can have on problem gamblers.
Murphy says that the committee’s inquiry will “be a fresh look at online gambling and whether current laws, regulations, consumer protections and education and support programs are enough to reduce harm to gamblers”.
“The committee is concerned about the increasing reach of online gambling platforms into Australians’ lives, the exposure of children and young people to gambling advertising and how this may contribute to increases in problem gambling in the future,” she said.
The Department of Social Services reports that online gambling is the fastest growing method of gambling in Australia. A survey conducted this year estimated that one in 10 Australians had gambled online in the past six months.
The inquiry will look at existing consumer protections, programs to address online problem gambling, the effectiveness of counselling and support services, current regulatory and licensing regimes, the definition of “gambling service” in the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, emerging technologies, illegal online gambling services, and advertising restrictions.
Submissions to the online gambling inquiry can be made until 11 November.
Frankston gamblers lost more than $52 million on electronic gaming machines in the 2021/2022 financial year, Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission figures reveal.
Venues with pokies had three months of trading interrupted by COVID-19 restrictions last year, meaning Frankston gamblers are likely to lose even more money on the machines this financial year.

To be something abnormal meant that you were to serve the normal. And if you refused, they hated you… and often the normal hated you even when you did serve them.
In Nnedi Okorafor’s post-apocalyptic Sudan, there are two predominant ethnic factions: the light-skinned Nuru and the dark-skinned Okeke. Who Fears Death takes place amid a genocide that the Nuru commit against the Okeke, a campaign that (like genocides in our own time) includes both murder and rape. The mixed-race offspring of a Nuru and an Okeke is called an Ewu and treated as an outcast.
Onyesonwu, whose name means “Who fears death?”, is Ewu, the result of her mother’s rape. As a child she develops magical powers, which further set her apart from others. In her girlhood she clashes with the local sorcerer, who doesn’t want to teach her because she is Ewu and a girl. Later, as a young woman, she gathers a small group of friends and travels eastward to confront her biological father, who is himself a powerful sorcerer and the mastermind behind the genocide.
Who Fears Death can be incredibly hard to read, due to the subject matter. Okorafor depicts racial and sexual violence without flinching, and because the scenario echoes real events taking place in our own time, it hits hard. It hurts more than reading about imaginary violence in a made-up land.
Okorafor doesn’t pretty up the violence, nor does she glorify it. Scenes of violence are written in a matter-of-fact way. The writing style becomes more lyrical when describing the beautiful. One is left with the impression that Okorafor is glorifying exactly the right parts of the story. Love, kindness, magic: these things are worth celebrating. Violence just is, in Onyesonwu’s world and our own.
The setting may sound like one of today’s (or tomorrow’s) news headlines. Onyesonwu’s plot arc, though, will be familiar in other ways. Okorafor shows that a hero(ine)’s journey can fit into this bleak setting just as well as it can fit into a fairy-tale kingdom, weaving several classic fantasy tropes (such as magical training and the complex bond between mentor and student, and the ragtag band of friends who venture forth to battle evil) into the story. Onyesonwu calls to mind a really big archetype, too, one of the most famous ones: the savior-figure who brings hope to an oppressed people.
Yet she is no plaster saint. Onyesonwu is stubborn and has a temper. She feels lust and love and jealousy. She even has neuroses; she doesn’t like different foods touching on her plate. Her lover Mwita is equally fleshed-out. Her friends are drawn in broader strokes, but you’ll come to love them too, and it hurts that not all of them make it. The rest of the cast members are just as memorable. I think my favorites are Najeeba (Onyesonwu’s mother) and Luyu (one of the band of friends).
Who Fears Death is a book I will never forget, but I’m not sure I’ll reread it; it contains some scenes I’m reluctant to revisit. Several early scenes — a gang rape and a female circumcision — nearly made me abandon the book because they were painful to read. I’m glad I persisted, though; before long I was swept up in Onyesonwu’s story and couldn’t put the book down. The night I finished, I stayed up far too late turning pages, and after closing the book, I couldn’t sleep. Okorafor includes some tantalizing ambiguities, and I lay awake turning these ambiguities over and over in my mind. I love a book that makes me tear up and makes me think at the same time.
Later Update: Brilliance Audio has now released an audio version of Who Fears Death, and I recommend it with great enthusiasm. Flosnik’s voice is so gorgeous that I would happily listen to her read the phone book. Coupled with Okorafor’s prose, the effect is enchanting indeed. The one thing I will mention is that Flosnik acts out the accent that Onyesonwu might have, which means it takes a little extra concentration to follow the narrative. Then again, this is a book you’ll want to pay close attention to anyway. Who Fears Death is the polar opposite of a light read; it’s complex, thought-provoking, unsettling — and often beautiful.
Now that I’ve finished Who Fears Death, I don’t know what to make of it. This is Nnedi Okarafor’s first adult fantasy novel, although she has published several young adult fantasies. It is a strong, unflinching parable about tribal warfare and genocide in the Sudan. It is not a great fantasy book, and I don’t know if the ending works at all. And I don’t know if that matters.
Set in the near future after an undescribed apocalypse, Who Fears Death tells the story of Onyesonwu (her name means “Who Fears Death”). Onyesonwu is an ewu, mixed-blood, the child of a planned and organized rape of her Okeke mother by a Nuru man. The Okeke have been raised to believe that they are meant to be the slaves of the Nuru. Even the Great Book tells them that the Okeke caused the catastrophe, which appears to be ecological in nature.
Onyesonwu’s mother wants to die after she is raped by a Nuru sorcerer, but when she realizes she is pregnant she determines to live. Onyesonwu grows up in the desert, learning survival skills, until she and her mother move to the town of Jwahir. As she grows up, Onyesonwu discovers that she has extraordinary magical powers or juju. She is an eshu, a shape-shifter, and far more. She meets Mwita, another ewu, although his Okeke and Nuru parents were lovers and he is not the product of rape. Mwita is a healer and studies with the town sorcerer, Aro, who refuses to take Onyesonwu as a student because she is female. Unschooled, Onye’s growing powers become a danger to the village and Aro eventually agrees to take her on out of self-defense.
Onye’s sorcerer father tries to kill her using supernatural means, and Onye dreams of revenge, but her destiny is far greater than the death of one sorcerer. With Mwita and a group of female school friends, Onyesonwu heads east, to Durfa, the town where her father lives, because he is gathering an army and preparing to destroy all Okeke.
Okorafor is direct in her descriptions of weaponized rape, female circumcision, institutionalized inequality and codified violence. Daily life in Onye’s village is well-described, although it is not particularly post-apocalyptic. Okorafor does not spend time trying to explain or understand the tribal hatred between Nuru and Okeke, or even why sexual inequality is so prevalent. These are merely the conditions of life in Onye’s world. In Jwahir, Onyesonwu’s ostracism is taken for granted by Onye herself.
Onyesonwu is a flawed sorcerer but a great character. She is emotional and impulsive, with a bad temper and a deep well of self-doubt. Unlike sorcerers in the European-American fantasy tradition, Onye has a strong, loving mother and stepfather and a lover who is loyal. She and Mwita squabble constantly, but it is not about sexual jealousy; it is about the reversal of roles. Mwita is a healer and Onye is a sorcerer, a function usually reserved for men. Mwita also fears Onye’s impulsiveness, since he has also been Aro’s student and knows more about juju than she does.
Juju does not protect Onyesonwu or her friends from the violence of villagers as they head west; nor does it stop the bickering and distrust among her friends. Still, she does reach Durfa and confront her sorcerer father. The confrontation is dramatic, but defeating her sorcerer father is not her true destiny, and Onyesonwu cannot rest until she finds a Nuru seer who holds an artifact that has meaning for her, and for the Okeke people.
This is a powerful story and there is a lot to like. I like Onye and her friends; I like that the book is set in Africa and is about Africans, not European-Africans or transplanted Americans. Okorafor deals with difficult issues courageously for the most part, but there’s an element of the book that looks like fantasy-wish-fulfillment, and that jars me, and makes me distrust the doubled ending.
Early in the book the impulsive Onyesonwu makes a decision to go through with the Eleventh Year Rite, female circumcision. Her mother and stepfather do not support this practice, but Onye decides that she is already a source of shame to her mother, and doing this will keep her from being more of one. This decision has catastrophic results. It will not only affect Onye’s life and happiness, it can have a devastating effect on her juju. One magical being she meets during her magical initiation flat-out tells her that she will not survive it because she has been “cut.” The Eleventh Rite scene is shocking, and Okorafor makes it clear that the female elders wholly support genital mutilation. Later, though, Onye undoes what was done to her. Later still, she heals her school friends, and that scene shows intense physical and emotional exertion. In the first sequence, though, Onye basically wishes she were whole, and she is. It is too easy and feels like Okorafor wants to have things both ways: to point out the devastation of female circumcision and still let Onye have satisfying sex with her true love. Thus, when the book has a doubled ending (not unlike John Fowles’s doubled ending in The French Lieutenant’s Woman, which I also distrusted), I have to ask myself whether it is just another way of having both the meaningful ending and the happy one.
Perhaps some of my skepticism comes from Okorafor’s young-adult background. The book has simple sentences, brief chapters and lack of foreshadowing, particularly of the important peacock symbol. These are aspects often found in YA novels. Generally, in a YA novel I expect to see the writer try to give the main character happiness even when the events of the story do not logically lead to it.
In the end, I’m not sure my concerns really matter. If you read Who Fears Death as a parable rather than a fully-realized fantasy novel, it is moving and thought-provoking. It easily earns four stars. Can women really change their destinies in this part of Africa? Can their power stop the genocide? Can anything? It seems doubtful, but at the end of Who Fears Death, both the Okeke and the reader are left with a precious magical gift: hope.

Uniquely feminine and infinitely personal
Exclusive online services transform Pavonina models into truly unique timepieces
The Pavonina line speaks to the confident, style-conscious woman. Infinitely feminine and multifaceted, since 2013 Pavonina watches have been an essential component of the Ladies Collection from Glashütte Original.
Now, new models featuring timelessly beautiful dials and colourful straps offer even greater inspirational variety. And there's more, of course: the Saxon manufactory has underscored the unmistakable character of the Pavonina with two new online services: a strap configurator and an engraving service now make it possible to create a truly unique, feminine timekeeper.
With these two exclusive online offers the exceptional Pavonina ladies' watches are now transformed into one-of-a-kind timepieces: women and men looking for a distinctive gift can take advantage of the new services, available on the watchmaker's website, to lend the Pavonina a very personal touch.
Multi-faceted: The strap configurator
The newly launched Glashütte Original watch strap configurator via http://configurator.glashuette-original.com/ presents the Pavonina's infinitely rich panoply of facets. Whether users are discovering this line for the first time, or simply wish to acquire a new strap for a model they already own, they can easily review the entire spectrum of Pavonina case, dial and more than 20 different strap versions and create their own individual combination.
The Pavonina's sophisticated quick-change system makes it possible to change bracelets easily, to match a favourite outfit, for example.
Personal: The engraving service
The polished case back offers plenty of space for personal dedications and one decorative motif. Interested owners may choose from a great variety of designs and decorative elements at http://engraving.glashuette-original.com to create their desired engraving.
A partner's initials, the date of a special day, heartfelt congratulations or an affectionate dedication: the selection of texts to be engraved in six possible fonts leaves nothing to be desired. Finely drawn pictures round out the offer with star signs, emotional motifs or refined floral arrangements. With just a few mouse clicks users can determine the configuration and size of up to four different decorative elements (three text elements and one picture motif). It is even possible to order a personal engraving designed entirely by the owner.
On request, the design blueprint is sent to the owner by email. This information and the accompanying registration number are all that is required to order the engraving directly from Glashütte Original Customer Service, from one of the Glashütte Original Boutiques, or from an official dealer or service partner; one may also choose, of course, to order the engraving together with a new watch.
Feminine: The Pavonina
The great variety of Pavonina models spans the spectrum from timeless understatement to luxurious glamour. The unmistakable cushion shape of the case, inspired by designs from the "Roaring Twenties", is common to all Pavonina watches.
Since March 2017 new models complement this successful line, enriching it with new dial versions and colourful straps in trendy colours – taupe, rose, golden beige, red, anthracite, turquoise, pink, orange or dark blue. The dials of all models are the product of elaborate hand-crafting at our in-house dial manufactory in Pforzheim, Germany.
Innovative and ambitious at once, the heart of the Pavonina is the 03-02 quartz movement, developed internally by the manufactory. The highly sensitive mechanism is triply protected against magnetic fields and the influence of modern electronic devices. The plate is decorated with the characteristic Glashütte stripe finish, and the engraved logo is set off in gold against the silver plate.

Conan introduces Apple's iShiv, and talks more about iPhone 5 and Steve Jobs
Late night talk show host Conan O'Brien's been on an Apple kick lately, with three different bits hitting on Apple news. The first, as seen above, is a take on the news that riots took over some of Apple's plants in China recently, with the company responding by releasing "the thinnest, lightest factory riot weapon yet."
Then, actor Nathan Fillion did a little talking with Conan about how much he loves his iPhone -- he definitely got one as soon as possible, and Conan apparently grabbed one right away too.
Fillion also appreciates the speed of the device, especially now that Siri can answer right away. And finally, comedian Bill Burr's having no part of the Reality Distortion Field -- he says Steve Jobs took the credit for the work his "chorus of scientists" did. That may not quite be right, but "big nerd concert" as a way of describing Apple events is pretty funny.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- California health officials released new guidelines for indoor and outdoor youth sports, whether it is school-related, community sponsored, or club sports.
The new guidance from the state’s Department of Public Health also applies to recreational adult sports.
According to the state, inter-team competitions will not be allowed until Jan. 25, 2021, at the earliest. State officials will revisit this plan during the first week of January to see if any changes need to be made.
Players and teams are allowed to practice, but health and safety measures -- such as social distancing -- must be in place.
In the new guidelines, sports are categorized by indoor or outdoor, and then they are classified under three categories: low-contact, moderate-contact, and high-contact. The sports are then grouped based on risk tier.
For San Diego County, which is in the state’s purple tier as of Dec. 15, only outdoor low-contact sports -- which includes golf, tennis, and swimming -- are allowed to compete.
Once the county reaches the red tier, sports like baseball, softball, and cheerleading will be able to compete.
Sports such as basketball, football, soccer, and volleyball would not be allowed to compete until San Diego County is in the state’s orange tier.
The state’s new guidance comes months after children, parents, and coaches held rallies and voiced their frustrations about not being able to play.
Because of the state’s rules, many teams -- specifically baseball and soccer -- have traveled to states like Arizona to play competitively because of less strict rules.
Under California’s new guidance, teams can only compete against teams from the same county, and they cannot compete outside of the state.

He was born on March 23, 1863. Other details of his early life are not known. However, according to one account, he was “one of the earliest employees of the Club, beginning shortly after its organization in 1881 as elevator boy.” Mechanical elevators were not unknown at this time, and it is possible that there was one leading to the second floor over Ross’ Grocery Store (present site of the Seelbach Hotel), which was the Club’s first home. It is also possible that he came to the Club shortly after it moved into its first clubhouse, the Belknap mansion, in 1883.
As business tycoon and Club member, Barry Bingham, Sr., remarked about Mr. Bain:

Generally speaking, the financial advisors at credit unions are too customer-centric to use an excess of financial jargon. The same cannot be said for all financial institutions, but credit unions seem to have this quality in common – one that makes them favourable to many investors.
But financial jargon is unavoidable, to some extent. You’ll still hear it in conversation, in line at your local coffee shop or on the news. And one thing we’ve noticed is this: If you’re young, male, make a lot of money and like the sound of your own voice, you’re way more likely to be influenced by financial jargon than most.
But don’t take our word for it. It’s the point of view of Morgan Housel, in his brilliant (and funny) article Stupid things financial people say.
My job requires reading a lot of financial news. It’s one of my favourite parts. But it gives me a front-row seat to the downside of financial journalism: gibberish, nonsense, garbage, and drivel. And let me tell you, there’s a lot of it.
Finance is often portrayed as a complex and difficult area of decision-making, where interactions commonly are characterised by jargon, acronyms, and slogans. This provides a hotbed for technically opaque language to thrive and – in doing so – delude the consumer.
Mr. Housel quotes some examples:
- They don’t have any debt except for a mortgage and student loans
- Earnings were positive before one time charges
- Earnings missed estimates
As Mr. Housel observes: “No. Earnings don’t miss estimates, estimates miss earnings. No one ever says ‘the weather missed estimates.’ They blame the weatherman for getting it wrong. Finance is the only industry where people blame their poor forecasting skills on reality.”
The World of Finance is Full of Doublespeak
The essence of financial jargon is not that it’s false, but that it’s phoney. Take the expression “I’m cautiously optimistic about the future of stock A.”
“Cautiously optimistic” is an oxymoron, an example of contradictory terms being used to state an implausible fact.
And what about, “we expect more volatility”? The markets are volatile – they fluctuate all the time. If someone said to you, “I expect more winters” would you take them seriously or roll your eyes? Certainly not the former!
The one we like the best is “We look where others don’t.” Jargon-loving financial advisors use this expression frequently and, almost always, it’s an attempt to deceive. Take the observation with a pinch of salt.
Although we could write a book about the uses and misuses of financial jargon, in our experience:
- Levels of education make no difference in the financial jargon scale.
- The biggest dupes for financial nonsense, as mentioned earlier, tend to be young, over-confident, high-income males.
- Women, in contrast, are the opposite. They typically hate financial jargon with a passion and prefer the use of simple, straightforward explanations.
- People with a higher ability for detecting financial nonsense tend to feel less secure about their finances. They take nothing for granted.
- Liars concede that truth matters. Which is why financial jargon is a greater enemy of truth than lies are.
