“We have scorched the snake, not killed it.”
The two Shakespeare films out currently are rather different. Now into its final week, the Horrible Histories fellows have released a flick biographically depicting the author in their trademark silly style. Justin Kurzel’s feature could not be more different.
Atmospherically charged, emotionally strained and visually unique, 2015’s MacBeth is an experience like no other. The feature retains the feel and heart of the 17th century play, but is highly modernised in its direction and cinematography. Mist swirls amongst the Scottish highland landscape with striking pathetic fallacy. The battle-worn fields show the vast expanse of the country as well as the cold desolation of MacBeth’s situation. The air is one of tension and mistrust as the stringed bow musical accompaniment sets one’s teeth on edge.
The scenes of conflict are dirty, grey and a little violent, in a restrained yet impactful fashion. Grey turns into red as the bloodshed intensifies, and MacBeth’s mind becomes further detached from reality. Gore is not there for the superficial pleasure of blood being shed, but as a symbol of the lingering pain of taking a life.
The macabre symbolism drawn from Shakespeare’s classic is superb, as the recurring visions of death, blood and the passage of time are all measured to perfection, especially as the weighty play had to be condensed into a slim duration.The performances match the tension as Fassbender and Cotillard seem to truly be the fatally-ambitious partnership. MacBeth’s mental degeneration is perfectly portrayed; his descent is not forced, but so seemless that it is truly sinister. Cotillard, as his manipulative spouse, does not spit nor snarl, but simply stares into her husband with her piercing eyes and her piercing monologues. Her spiritual soliloquies are hauntingly gothic and a true highlight.
This flaw can only detract so much from the piece of art Kurzel and his team have created. The tension is real and lingers from the opening moments until the final scene. The visuals are beautiful and will leave even the experienced cinephile with his jaw unhooked.
MacBeth will hang over you like a dagger in the night, just with less mental torment.

The Indian startup Pixxel wants to be the first in the country to launch a satellite capable of making images of the Earth. For research and launch, scheduled for the end of the year, the company has already raised about US $ 5 million. The company will use the Russian Soyuz rocket to send its satellite into space.
The money raised in financing led by Blume Ventures, Lightspeed India Partners and growX Ventures, will be used to increase the startup team and continue to fund the development of its Earth observation technology.
Pixxel’s young founders, Awais Ahmed and Kshitij Khandelwal, have plans to deploy a constellation consisting of 30 satellites by 2022 and thereby put India on the global space map.
According to them, the idea, by providing global satellite images, to help sectors such as oil, gas, agriculture and disaster management.
Earth observation program
Although small, the satellites in question are capable of providing high quality images at a rate that large companies would have trouble delivering.
According to the startup, once everyone is in orbit, it will be able to provide quality data far superior to the current Earth image satellites available.
Through analyzes conducted by Pixxel’s deep learning models, satellites will also be able to detect and predict major phenomena, in addition to possible impacts on a global scale.

Twitter announced that view counts for tweets are now visible on iOS and Android and that they’ll be coming soon to the web (I’ve already started to see them there). The feature lets you see how many times someone has looked at your tweet, or anyone else’s, though there are a few exceptions that we’ll cover in just a moment.
When you’re in the app, you now see view counters alongside the number of comments, retweets, and likes. According to a Twitter FAQ, not every tweet will have a visible view count. Community tweets, Twitter Circle tweets, and “older” tweets won’t have the data available.
As for what counts as a view, it seems like basically any time your tweet shows up on someone’s screen (even if it's your own). Twitter says:
Anyone who views your Tweet counts as a view, regardless of where they see your Tweet (e.g. Home, Search, Profiles, Tweets embedded in articles, etc.) or whether or not they follow you. Even an author looking at their own Tweet counts as a view.
It also adds that looking at a tweet from the web, then looking at it on your phone would count as two views.
When the feature initially started rolling out on Wednesday night, it was significantly more limited — one of my colleagues who got it early said he could only see view counts on his own tweets and only after clicking into them. That wasn’t particularly groundbreaking — you’ve long been able to turn on analytics for your account and see how many “impressions” your tweets were getting. And while it did put the analytics more in your face, the version showing up on Thursday that shows you everyone’s view counter gives us much more information than we had before.
When Musk announced the feature on December 1st, he implied that he was trying to make the platform’s text and image posts like video posts, which already had public view counts. He’s also said that it’s meant to show how “alive” the platform is, and that just looking at replies and likes doesn’t give you the full picture.
Adding more publicly visible information to a social network actually runs contrary to what other companies have been doing recently. Last year, Instagram and Facebook started letting users hide the number of likes their posts get, a feature it’d been testing for years. Even YouTube, whose public view counts have been a defining feature of the platform, has started hiding some info — in 2021, it hid public dislike counts, making it so only creators could see how many people had clicked the thumbs down button on their videos.
Update December 22nd, 12:27PM ET: Added Musk’s confirmation that the feature was rolling out, and information about Twitter returning info about a tweet’s view count.
Update December 22nd, 7:26PM ET: We fully re-wrote this post now that Twitter is officially rolling out view counts, which are visible on everyone’s tweets.

‘So far the death penalty remains in the Penal Code the Courts cannot be held to commit any illegality in awarding death penalty in appropriate cases.’
While rejecting the review pleas of two death convicts in Nirbhaya case, the Supreme Court has observed that abolition of death penalty by several countries like the United Kingdom, Latin American countries and Australian states is no ground to efface the death penalty from the statute book of our country.
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra made this observation in the order dismissing review pleas of Vinay Sharma and Pawan Kumar Gupta.
Advocate AP Singh, who appeared for the convicts, made several submissions before the bench about the death penalty and the need to abolish it. According to him, it goes against the principle of nonviolence that India has advocated for decades. He also brought to the notice of the bench that, in 1966, the Bill introducing death penalty abolition was passed by the House of Parliament in England and that in a large number of countries, the death penalty has been abolished.
On the other hand, Senior Advocate Sidharth Luthra, who appeared for the state, countered these submissions contending that death penalty being still in the statute book it is not open to argue that the death penalty be abolished in this country. He also submitted that death penalty has already been upheld by the constitution bench of the apex court in Bachan Singh vs. State of Punjab and that the abolition of the death penalty is a legislative function and unless the Parliament passes an amending Act it is not for the courts to consider the said submission.
In this regard, Justice Ashok Bhushan, who authored the judgment, observed: “The submission of Mr. Singh that death penalty has been abolished by the Parliament of U.K. in the year 1966 and several Latin American countries and Australian States have also abolished death penalty is no ground to efface the death penalty from the statute book of our country. So far the death penalty remains in the Penal Code the Courts cannot be held to commit any illegality in awarding death penalty in appropriate cases.”
The court also rejected the submissions made by Advocate AP Singh who had attacked the investigation and prosecution agencies, observing that submissions and arguments are general in nature and not based on any substantial ground so as to point out any such error in the trial so as to furnish any ground to review any judgment.
Dismissing the review petition, the bench observed: “Before closing we need to reiterate that criminal appeals filed by the appellants (petitioners herein) against the judgment of the High Court were heard by this Court giving them sufficient time for raising all possible submissions. The hearing in criminal appeals continued about 38 days. The learned counsel for the appellants/petitioners had made elaborate submissions which were all duly considered by us in our main judgment.”

Actor and producer Vijay Babu, who has been accused of sexual assault by an actor in Kochi, was arrested Monday after appearing before Ernakulam police in connection with the case. On June 22, he was released on bail by the Kerala High Court. According to reports, he was released on bail but will have to work with the team investigating the case. Read more: Nana Patekar gets first movie role since MeToo scandal
According to reports, the team set up to investigate Babu was allowed in the investigation to interrogate him from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to July 3. The actor was accused of sexual assault by a female actor earlier this year.
In her complaint, the victim alleged that she was attacked several times by the actor in a flat in Kochi. The complainant said Vijay sexually assaulted her under the pretense of offering roles in films. Ernakulam South Police Department registered a case against Vijay based on the woman’s complaint, which was received on April 22. Vijay is said to have fled to Dubai around the same time the case was registered in his name and returned earlier this month
Vijay was also accused of disclosing the survivor’s name when he went live on his Facebook account and revealed the actor’s identity. Vijay is currently out on bail. According to a report from Onmanorama, he said he was the real victim and would file a defamation case. He also said he was willing to face the consequences after disclosing the complainant’s name. The report added that Vijay said he will not let the complainant escape easily.
Following the allegations, Vijay was asked to resign from the executive committee of AMMA – The Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes. AMMA spokesman Edavela Babu said at a recent press conference that they will take action against Vijay Babu in accordance with the court order.
Earlier in June, it was reported that Vijay would appear before the investigators if requested. He has also reportedly been asked not to contact the complainant in any way, or make any claims related to her or the family. He will also have to ask permission to leave the state.

CAMDEN, N.J. — A former Richard Stockton College of New Jersey police officer admitted Thursday to selling oxycodone-based pills to an undercover officer, and a witness, who was cooperating with law enforcement officers. The guilty plea follows an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the DEA-led Camden High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) task force.
Marcus Taylor, 41, of Sicklerville, pleaded guilty Thursday to distributing and possessing with intent to distribute oxycodone before U.S. District Judge Renee Marie Bumb.
According to court documents, between November 2012 and January 2013, Taylor sold 537 oxycodone-based prescription pills to either an undercover task force officer or the cooperating witness over five meetings, each of which occurred in Clementon, New Jersey. Taylor arranged the meetings with the undercover officer through a series of text messages. Taylor discussed the price of the pills and his hope of fostering a long-term drug distribution relationship. At the Nov. 28, 2012, meeting, Taylor told the undercover officer that the 30-milligram oxycodone pills he sold the officer were obtained through a prescription issued by a doctor, and "if (you're going to) be a good customer for me and buy these every 28 days for 15 bucks, I won't give these to nobody."
None of the transactions involved students or took place at the Stockton College campus, nor was Taylor ever in uniform when the drug sales were made. He resigned in April.
As part of his plea agreement, Taylor will forfeit $8,775, consisting of the illegal profits obtained from his sale of oxycodone.
The drug distribution charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine. Sentencing is scheduled for November 14.

By Tim Kolehmainen, Editor of The BREAKDOWN
Game of the week
Bloomington Jefferson at Eden Prairie (7:30pm, Tuesday, Feb. 10)
Some may not agree, but at this point in the season, these two teams are playing like the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the state. Tuesday night at Eden Prairie, the Lake Conference’s behemoths collide in a game that could either solidify Jefferson’s hold on No. 1 – or shake up Class AA even more than has already happened in the last two weeks.
The Jaguars are a perfect 21-0-0, including all 15 victories in the Lake Conference. Eden Prairie has lost just three times (twice to Edina and once to Jefferson) and is second in the Lake at 14-1-0. Jefferson took the first meeting between the two top programs, winning 2-1 on goals from Joe Faust and Caleb Herbert back on Jan. 3. The Jaguars outshot Eden Prairie, 43-16, but Eagles’ goalie Matt Halloran kept his team in the game with 41 saves.
Jefferson has a scare in its most recent game, escaping with a 4-3 overtime decision over visiting Moorhead Saturday afternoon. Faust netted the game-winner on a 5-on-3 powerplay a minute and a half into the extra session. But they’ve stayed unbeaten thanks to a balanced offensive attack and one of the stingiest defenses in the state.
UMD recruit Herbert (19-19-38) leads the Jags in scoring, but a dozen players have double-digit point totals and a half-dozen have scored at least 10 goals, including A.J. Siiro (18-15-33), T.J. Gallus (14-18-32), Faust (11-19-30), Tyler Dietzler (10-21-31) and Zach Knight (11-5-16). Jefferson has two well-balanced offensive lines, but also gets contributions from offensive-minded defenseman like Faust, Jeff Pauluk (7-20-27) and Tim LaBombard (5-9-14). The Jaguars have scored 5.5 goals a game and allowed just 1.2. Casey O’Connor (19-0-0, 1.19 GAA, .931 save %) has played the majority of minutes in nets and is in the top-3 in the state in all three categories.
Eden Prairie wasn’t necessarily expected to be in the position they are after losing many key veterans from last year’s 18-7-2 club, some due to graduation and others who defected to USHL and other programs. But an incoming Bantam group that had won two straight state titles at that level has elevated Lee Smith’s club right back into the thick of the state championship race.
Sophomore forward Kyle Rau (19-19-38) leads the Eagles in scoring, while sophomore defenseman Dan Molenaar (9-11-20) and sophomore goalie Andrew Ford (9-1-0, 1.39 GAA, .940 save %) have been equally important additions. With Mr. Hockey candidate Nick Leddy (8-23-31) also putting up impressive offensive statistics from the blueline, Eden Prairie certainly resembles the Jaguars. Like Jefferson, the Eagles get good scoring from more than one line and from its defensemen. Mitch Rogge (8-20-28), Taylor Wolfe (13-14-27), Mike Erickson (11-13-24) and David Rath (11-4-15) are all now proven goal scorers. Halloran (9-2-0, 2.45 GAA, .896 save %) has split time in nets with Ford.
The Eagles may have been young to start the season, but they’re plenty experienced now and should be a force in the section playoffs.
Common opponents: There have been plenty since both clubs play in the Lake Conference. Eagan (Eden Prairie won 8-2 and 2-0, Jefferson won 4-0), Eastview (Eden Prairie won 6-1 and 6-1, Jefferson won 5-0), Lakeville North (Eden Prairie won 7-3 and 6-3, Jefferson won 4-3), Chaska (Eden Prairie won 8-2 and 12-4, Jefferson won 6-0 and 10-3), Burnsville (Eden Prairie won 3-1 and 7-6, Jefferson won 4-2 and 7-1), Rosemount (Eden Prairie won 7-1, Jefferson won 8-1 and 8-1), Lakeville South (Eden Prairie won 2-1, Jefferson won 10-2 and 4-3), Apple Valley (Eden Prairie won 5-0, Jefferson won 6-1 and 3-0), Bloomington Kennedy (Eden Prairie won 14-1, Jefferson won 5-1), Grand Rapids (Eden Prairie won 4-1, Jefferson won 7-0).
Terrific 10 games of the week
2. Centennial at Blaine (7:30pm, Saturday, Feb. 14)
This rematch also could easily have been the top game in the state next week, especially with both teams coming off upsets last week. Plenty is at stake in Bengals’ territory on Valentine’s evening, as both the Section 5AA top seed and the Northwest Suburban Conference title are up for grabs between these two perennial powers (along with Maple Grove now). In their first meeting, the teams tied 4-4 back on Jan. 17.
3. Duluth East at Cloquet-Esko-Carlton (7:30pm, Tuesday, Feb. 10)
The MyFoxHockey game of the week is one of the most heated rivalries in the state, no matter the relative talent of the two clubs. Duluth East has the edge in that column this season and beat the Lumberjacks 6-1 a week before Christmas. The Greyhounds are the runaway leader in Section 7AA, although Cloquet did upset them in last year’s semifinals, plenty of reason for East to come out fired up.
4. Totino-Grace at Benilde (7pm, Thursday, Feb. 12)
It’s the time of the season for rematches, including this North Suburban tilt between west-side private schools. Benilde “patted” down the Eagles in their first meeting on Jan. 22, winning 5-0 on four goals from the Pats (Borer, Steinhauser, Duda and Cron) – and oh, yeah, Brett Patterson. The Red Knights wrap up the NSC with another victory.
5. Albert Lea at Rochester Mayo (8:30pm, Saturday, Feb. 14)
The Big 9’s best face off late Saturday night (Valentine’s night), but there most likely won’t be any love lost. Albert Lea is coming off a big victory over Rochester Lourdes and is led by sniper Tyler Prihoda (32-15-47). Mayo’s top line of Tom Alexander, Alex Whitney and Brad Fisher has combined for 56 goals.
6. Virginia-MIB at Duluth Marshall (7:30pm, Tuesday, Feb. 10)
Virginia is likely the top seed in Section 7A, especially with a victory over Marshall Tuesday night. But the Hilltoppers are the defending champions and will have plenty to say in this year’s tournament, as well, especially with the return of Zach Mausolf. He tallied the game-winner in overtime in a 3-2 victory over Denfeld last Thursday, his first goal of the season.
7. Cretin-Derham Hall at Woodbury (7:30pm, Thursday, Feb. 12)
The top two contenders in Section 3AA face off again Thursday night with the Royals holding the edge courtesy of their 4-1 win back on Jan. 10. Cretin has won six straight since losing back-to-back games that week and has limited its goals against, certainly with defenseman Mark Alt having a hand in that. Woodbury can score, however, with 96 goals in just 22 games, led by Tony Pittman’s 22.
8. Minnetonka at Wayzata (2:30pm, Saturday, Feb. 14)
Raise your hand if you have any idea how Section 6AA is going to break down? Minnetonka seemed to have the upper hand until losing in overtime to Hopkins last week. Now they travel to Wayzata to face a Trojans’ team that’s sure to be ornery after being shutout by Edina for the second time on the season. The Skippers won the first meeting 2-1 in overtime back on Jan. 29.
9. Hopkins at Edina (7pm, Thursday, Feb. 12)
Hopkins and goalie Alex Fons have played giant killers in recent weeks, knocking off Edina and Minnetonka in overtime and giving Eden Prairie all it could handle. Now the Hornets are back after outshooting the Royals 59-27 in a 4-3 overtime loss Jan. 24, a game in which Fons made an astounding 56 saves. Edina rebounded after losing 3-of-4 to rout Wayzata (7-0) in its most recent game.
10. Bemidji at Thief River Falls (noon, Tue, Feb. 10)
For those with an eye on the Class A race, these are two northeastern teams that could cause trouble for Warroad in Section 8A. Bemidji has battled the best teams in the state in recent weeks and given them all they could handle, including slim losses to Hermantown, Alexandria and Duluth Marshall by a combined four goals. Thief River Falls itself edged the Lumberjacks 2-1 way back on Dec. 18 when Zane Gothberg stopped 29-of-30 shots.
Player of the week
Ben Hanowski (Little Falls)
For his career achievement alone, Hanowski would be the player of the week. The St. Cloud State recruit shattered the state’s all-time goal-scoring record for a career and now has 173 goals in his three-plus years on the varsity. But he did so much more than that over the previous seven days as the Flyers put an exclamation point on their top ranking this past week, with plenty of help from Hanowski. The big forward tallied nine goals and 11 assists in three overwhelming victories for unbeaten Little Falls.
Hanowski began his big week with a hat trick and three assists in a 9-1 victory over Wadena-Deer Creek on Tuesday. Then in a 10-4 win over St. Cloud Apollo Thursday night, Hanowski and the Flyers rallied from an early 3-1 deficit to overwhelm Apollo. He notched five goals and two assists in the rally. Hanowski finished his big week with a goal and season-high six assists on Saturday in a 10-0 rout at Detroit Lakes.
He’s now just 18 points shy of tying Red Wing’s Johnny Pohl for the career scoring record of 378 points – and has five regular season games (and quite possibly more than a handful of playoff games) to get there.

New Delhi, June 7: Apple has paid a multi-million-dollar settlement to a student after her under-repair iPhone was used to post nude photos and videos from her phone on social media. The act was conducted by two repair technicians at an Apple repair facility in California.
The privacy violation took place in 2016 when a university student in Oregon sent her phone to Apple for repair. While fixing the phone, two technicians posted photos of the student on the phone onto her Facebook account. The post was made in a way to suggest that she uploaded the content herself. Apple Reportedly Adding New Updates to AirTags To Prevent Unwarranted Tracking.
As per The Telegraph, the exact amount of the settlement is not disclosed. But it has been described as a 'multimillion-dollar' amount, as the lawyers for the individual demanded $5 million in settlements. The sum being compensation for 'severe emotional distress to the individual resulting from the incident was accepted by Apple. Facebook to End Special Treatment for Politicians, Says Report.
The confidentiality agreement left many details about the incident unknown. But is known is that the two employees have been fired after an investigation by Apple. The incident shows loopholes in the privacy claims repeatedly made by Apple in its marketing campaigns. The company has also cited this as an argument against legislation that would make it easier for third parties to fix its devices.

DAY OF THE ARROW THAT GOES THROUGH THE TREE-TOPS
You, Ihilla, who knows how to thread fire between your fingernails and has mixed the idea of wiping out the web of the cobweb with colors, whisper with us the growl of ancient beasts returning, for you must know that the hammerhead shark and the white dogfish hold the inexistence of the mother country in our hearts.
Perhaps you know that the flip-flopping of the past, the presence of these mouths that chewed laughter between milk teeth, is hopeless? Coarse beauty and the despair of beasts will come together in times to come, eat all the leftovers with times past .
You, Ihilla, who have seen the gods dressing us with time, know that a light wind makes us eager to please.
Our words, goddess, will be written in the lintel of the bastions, between the testicles of the tiger, in that mixture of humidity and fire that the minor dreams of ants squandering the wind arrive at.
Be glad, Ihilla: in the immensity of rottenness a single stone curlew will trample those who feign to extol themselves.

This tier 6-2 weapon has AP of 5, crit 2.9x, damage range of 55-75, and costs $1250. In your Steam games library find the entry for Wasteland 2 Directors Cut. List of Wasteland 2 weapons Build 42098 (unless noted) This page has information from the Wasteland 2 Beta and may not be accurate with the commercially available version. Mutant girl comes with energy weapons, but I started giving her some pistol skill as a back up, added energy weapon skill to others prior to LA as back up. Wasteland 2 weapon modifications are upgrades for the various weapons the Rangers find in the wasteland. The last option on that page should say "Verify the Intergrity of Game Files" or something along those lines. You can tell on Bowling to captain Mercaptain, who throws him into Prison.You can then visit him there, and he will ask you to take a letter to his sister Kathy at the Rail Nomad Camp. Right-click it and select "Properties." But, I'm concerned because most games severely restrict heavy weapons. In the properties window select the "Local Files" tab. List of Wasteland weapons Firearms AT Weapons & Explosives Energy Weapons Melee Weapons Semi-Auto weapons always fire one shot at a time, but continually fire as long as there's ammo in the magazine (or in the case of Demolitions weapons, as long as there are Grenades, TNTs or Plastic explosives in your inventory to keep going. Inside the Citadel, you can find Robert Bowling, who offers hand-made weapons for sale.Although the statistics and the prices seem tantalizing, their actual combat value nears zero, due to constant jamming. It's good to have a variety of ammo types, but all the top tier weapons end up using 7.52mm anyway (which is more scarce in Arizona). Thats the … They can be bought from shops or created by field stripping weapons.

Ham and Bean Soup Recipe (Crock Pot)
Filled with fifteen different kinds of beans, healthy vegetables, and tender leftover ham in every bite, this easy to prepare and "no soaking required" Crock Pot Ham and Bean Soup Recipe is sure to keep you warm all winter long.
Servings: 8 servings
Thoroughly rinse beans in clean, cold water. Set aside.
Transfer the beans, ham bone, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, pepper, dried Italian seasoning, cumin, crushed red pepper, and canned tomatoes to the slow cooker. Mix to combine.
Stir in the chicken broth and bay leaves. Mix to combine.
Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
Once the beans are tender, remove the ham bone from the pot and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing any meat from the bone and returning back to the pot.
Cook for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
- If you don't have a leftover ham bone, substitute with a 1 1/2- 2 pound smoked ham hock, 3 cups diced ham (or more!), 1-2 pounds sausage or ground pork.
- Not a fan of pork? Replace with leftover chicken or turkey.
- I used one package of this 15 bean soup mix but did not include the seasoning packet. There are other mixed bean combos out there including this 13 bean soup mix or this 16 bean soup mix.

A scuffle outside a Macy's department store where Justin Bieber was attending a promotional event Thursday for his new fragrance was "a misunderstanding," the singer's representative said.
"This was a momentary, well-intentioned misunderstanding that was quickly resolved, and the event went very well," said publicist Melissa Victor in an email.
The incident happened outside the Broadway entrance of Macy's in Manhattan.
Police said Bieber's representatives contacted them to say he wanted to go outside to greet fans. Police set up a small pen where he could do so.
Bieber left the pen and went straight to the main barricade holding back an estimated 500 people. The crowd surged forward and the barricade started to come down.
Police officers and Bieber's personal security detail then surrounded him to usher him back inside. Police said a 47-year-old man standing in the doorway refused to step aside and had to be physically moved. The man was issued a summons for disorderly conduct and released. Police learned later that he was a member of the singer's security team.
The 17-year-old Canadian singer was not injured in the scuffle.
Inside Bieber seemed unfazed. He gave interviews to the press, posed for photographs and with fans.


Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA Batteries
AAA bought from Lowe's
I have a sharps clock and it runs on AAA batteries. The Duracell batteries that came with the clock lasted for 5 or 6 years. Had too replace them so I bought Energizers and they lasted one day. So the answer to rating above is clear. No more Energizer batteries.
March 21, 2013
Lasted 2 weeks in a TV remote control
I put 4 of these AAA batteries into our Harmony remote control, thinking it might mean I wouldn't change them for a year or more, as typical AAA batteries last me about 6-9 months.
2 weeks later, the charge on the batteries is between 0.4 and 0.6 volts each. Perhaps I got a defective batch, but they were working fine when I first put them in.
December 30, 2012
These ultimate lithium batteries are great.
I just bought 2 packs of AAA ultimate lithium batteries from CVS store and it had a $10 gas reward card for purchase of 2 pks but expiration date was 1/31/12??

AMAZING BATTERY LIFE!
I have had Type 1 Diabetes for almost 20 years. The past ten years I have been on an Insulin Pump that requires one triple A battery to work. Every month I have had to change the battery since the pump is constantly turned on. It tends to drain the batteries. Recently my husband bought me a pack of these batteries and asked me to see how long it would last in my pump. I put the battery in Aug 13th 2012 and as of today Oct 12th 2012 my battery bar is still full! I haven't had to change it yet! Which is AMAZING! I have never been so impressed with a battery. I can't wait to see how long this battery will last and as of right now it's still at it's max! Two months without changing the battery is record breaking for me! Thanks Energizer for making such an awesome product for everyday needs.

As retired Army and a dedicated deer hunter, I would become frustrated with the need to replace batteries in my flashlights and GPS when spending long days, from before sunrise to after sunset, in the field. I often would be traveling through woods in the dark when my batteries would die. So I decided to give these a try despite the higher cost. They live up to their reputation. Now, instead of replacing batteries daily while in the field hunting, I have gone for weeks with my LED headlamps (the AAA size) and several days with my GPS (the AA size) without having to worry about packing lots of extra batteries. These batteries are simply incredible. It would be nice if the price could come down but the more important driver of purchasing these is the incredible lasting power. I keep them as part of the family emergency supplies. The only minor drawback, if there is one, is that when they begin to lose power, you should be prepared to replace soon because the power curve drops sharply at that point. Regardless, these are the undisputed leaders in long-term, reliable power for the important portable survival gear that you may have.

brand i can trust, lasts for a long time, very nice product
June 17, 2012
The Lithuim Battery is worth the money.
The Lithuim Battery lasts longer than any battery. You pay a lil bit more but its so worth it. I use it for everything that takes a AAA battery. Its long lasting and very dependable. I would recommend this battery to everyone and i have! The BEST battery!
June 13, 2012
My Family cannot live without these batteries! I try to keep them handy at all times. These Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries are such a superior quality to other products and I won't buy anything else ever again!

Like in the film industry, gaming has now reached the point where there are rarely any new themes to explore these days. Having been around for decades there aren’t many topics that haven’t been featured in games before, which means these days we usually only see themes being reused with very few new perspectives. The illustrious history of games means there is still plenty of variation and there are several themes that have lasted a number of years as player favorites. Here are some of the most commonly found themes.
The long and elaborate story of Ancient Egypt is one that continues to captivate the world with new discoveries continuing to be made every year that add new elements to the narratives. It is one of the few history topics that command our attention no matter how much we learn about it, which is reflected in the number of games that continue to be released about it. From popular action games like Assassin’s Creed Origins to real-time strategy titles like Age of Empires, there seems to be a never-ending production line of games featuring Ancient Egyptians. This theme is also popular in online slots titles such as Legacy of Dead, which incorporates Ancient Egyptian patterns and imagery into the classic game.
The Vikings are another historical group who have been immortalized in TV, films, and video games. Their impact on world history is undeniable, with their influence still felt in many countries today, which makes them perfect for video games. Additionally, the Vikings were known to make long voyages and participate in epic battles, so they can be easily incorporated into different game genres. Popular Viking-themed titles over the years include Skyrim, Valheim, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. As the capabilities of our gaming devices continue to improve, we can expect the flow of new Viking games to continue as better graphics and engines on our devices will allow developers to explore these stories in greater depth.
Space exploration is a theme that has been popular in the gaming industry ever since the release of Space Invaders in 1978. This classic game required players to shoot down aliens as they attempt to attack their bunkers and spaceship. It is one of the world’s most popular games and has inspired countless other games to use this theme that gamers seem to love. Popular space-themed games include Halo, Outer Wilds, and Homeworld. As most of us won’t have the chance to explore outer space, these games give players the opportunity to see what it might be like, which is why they remain so popular.
The Western genre is another fan favorite that has stood the test of time in the media. Thanks to classic Spaghetti Western movies and countless references in TV shows most people are familiar with themes like cowboys, saloons, and high noon showdowns. So, it’s no surprise that games based on the Wild West are among some of today’s most popular, like Rockstar Games’ ground-breaking Red Dead series, which allows you to play as an outlaw from the late 1800s. Other popular games that use this theme include Darkwatch, Call of Juarez, and Desperados. There appears to be no sign of gaming fans losing interest in this topic, so we can expect plenty more Wild West titles in years to come.
Despite the fact that most people can enjoy sports with friends in the real world, gamers seem to love simulating their favorite sports through their devices. Whether you’re into popular sports like football or basketball, or niche ones like snowboarding or skiing, there is definitely a game for you out there. One of the main reasons this theme is so popular is that these games allow us to control or manage our favorite athletes and lead them to virtual glory. Nowadays, whatever aspect of the sport you’re into is covered in the gaming world, those interested in playing as their favorite teams and players will enjoy titles like FIFA and NBA 2K, those into pure coaching can enjoy management simulation titles like the Football Manager series, while players with a passion for sports business and ownership can enjoy titles like Football Tycoon.

September 14, 2011 — MIT researchers have developed a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) that harvests energy from low-frequency vibrations, and occupies a coin-sized form factor. MIT’s MEMS device picks up a wider range of vibrations than current designs thanks to a bridge, rather than cantilever, MEMS structure.
The aim is to replace batteries on far-flung and ubiquitous wireless sensor networks (WSN). For example, the MEMS energy harvesters could power bridge-structure monitoring sensors by converting the bridge’s swaying and vehicle-traffic vibrations to electricity. This device provides the "supportive power package" to bring WSNs into their full potential application, said Sang-Gook Kim, a professor of mechanical engineering at MIT.
The MIT design increases the MEMS frequency range with maximum power density, able to generate 100 times the power of devices of similar size. Rather than using piezoelectric material (PZT) on a cantilever MEMS device, the researchers created a bridge anchored to the chip at each end. A single layer of piezoelectric material was deposited onto the bridge structure, with a small weight in the middle. In a series of vibration tests, the MEMS device responded over a range of low frequencies. The researchers calculated that the device was able to generate 45 microwatts of power with a single layer of PZT.
PZT accumulates electric charge when acted upon by mechanical forces. MIT’s use of PZT avoids frequency limitations found with cantilever designs, and also prevents the use of too much piezoelectric material, which can be costly, said Arman Hajati, who conducted the work as a PhD student at MIT. The energy harvester is designed to work with real-world variables, like changing frequencies, and real-world purchasing budgets.
If the energy harvester costs $10, a WSN of millions of sensors could be too costly, says Kim, who is a member of MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories. This single-layer MEMS design can be fabricated for less than $1.
Still, few vibrations in nature occur at the relatively high frequency ranges captured by the device, so the MIT team is optimizing the MEMS design to respond to a lower frequency range. They aim for 100 microwatt energy capture, said Hajati, now a MEMS development engineer at FujiFilm Dimatix. 100 microwatts can power a network of smart sensors that can talk forever with each other.

Review: Les Notes de Lecran Vol. 1
4 / 5 Stars
The beauty of Georges Delerue\'s film scores has long been highly regarded by fans, filmgoers and filmmakers alike and recently much of his work has found its way back onto disc (though sometimes in limited fashion) through such enterprising labels as Varese Sarabande. Now, in a single disc collection entitled Les Notes de Lecran, Volume 1, Cinefonia Records has collected short suites of music from four French films scored by Delerue: Jacquou le Croquant (1969), Les Chevaux du Soleil (1979), Les Chandelier (1977) and Le Jeune Homme Vert (1979), each adapted from novels or plays and Les Chevaux du Soleil was actually a TV series about French families living in Algeria.
For Jacquou le Croquant, Delerue creates a lilting tone in small instrumental groupings, as in the opening track where the melodic main theme on strings with harp accompaniment flows like a purposeful yet pleasant stream. "Ballade pour flute et harp" is just as it reads, a gentle duet for flute and harp set against a small string contingent. The harp continues to take center stage in the lovely "Adagio campetre", while the flute guides the melancholy of "Sourire". "Le temps qui passé", or "The Passing of Time" opens with a harp appropriately ticking away the seconds before it presents the flowing main theme, set against a bed of strings. The "Generique fin" nicely has the main theme on acoustic guitar, alternating with a bright, lilting flute.
Les Chevaux du Soleil opens in a grand orchestral fashion, with a sweeping long lined theme in 8 note groupings. "Triste est l\'amour" dials back and places this theme on harpsichord against strings, in an almost hesitantly progressing, as someone unsure of professing their love for another. "Le marche de l\'empire" is all field drums and fifes, but in a slightly off-kilter, small scale manner. A saddened solo oboe opens "Promenade en foret", soon joined by mid and low-range strings in a thick, but darkly moving tone. "La marche de la reine" brings up the pace and color in a short, sharp march while "Alger la Blanche" has an exotic quality through oboe, harp and string pedal drone. This quality is explored again in "L\'aube sur la mosque" and lastly the "Generique fin" returns to the main theme in its rich orchestral setting.
With Les Chandelier, Delerue presents melancholy tinged with hope in "Appel" through solo violin in a string quartet. This small-scale approach continues in both "Fete Royale" and "A suivre", specifically for piano, violin and cello, both of which are lovely dances, the former a waltz. The solo violin returns in "Le Chandelier" and "Mouvements lyriques", expressing a tragic sense of loss, and accompanied only by piano on "Le Chandelier". The music is fleshed out again in "Le Chandelier (generique fin)", as it was in "Appel", the downtrodden mood prevailing.
"Andante pour violon et orchestre" begins the final suite, which encapsulates Le Jeune Homme Vert, and displays a restrained but classically beautiful melody, followed by another effortlessly soothing, lovely theme on acoustic guitar backed by strings in "Theme de Marie pour guitare". The tone shifts to becomes a bit more bittersweet for "Ballade melancolique" and its lush strings and woodwinds presentation. A carefree nature is essayed in "Promenade pour flute et orhestre", utilizing the flute-led melody heard in the center of the previous track, while "Grande valse romantique" is a stately yet light waltz for piano, violin and cello. The suite and album close with "Le jeune home vert", where the flute-led theme from "Ballade melancolique" and "Promenade pour flute et orhestre" is revisited once more and then expanded on by full orchestra in a very rich, moving fashion. In all, this release is a marvelous treat for new and old fans of Delerue, those who want to hear more from him and who need to add to their already expansive collections. Each suite offers winning melody and instrumentation, but for me, I found Le Jeune Homme Vert to be the most memorable.

Macular edema occurs when fluid and protein deposits collect on or under the macula of the eye and causes it to thicken and swell. The swelling may distort a person's central vision, as the macula is near the center of the retina at the back of the eyeball. This area holds tightly packed cones that provide sharp, clear central vision to enable a person to see detail, form, and color that is directly in the direction of gaze. Macular edema sometimes appear for a few days or weeks after cataract surgery, but most such cases can be successfully treated with NSAID or cortisone eye drops. Until recently there were no good treatments for macular edema caused by central retinal vein occlusion. Laser photocoagulation has been used for macular edema caused by branch retinal vein occlusion.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Fluid accumulation in the outer layer of the MACULA LUTEA that results from intraocular or systemic insults. It may develop in a diffuse pattern where the macula appears thickened or it may acquire the characteristic petaloid appearance referred to as cystoid macular edema. Although macular edema may be associated with various underlying conditions, it is most commonly seen following intraocular surgery, venous occlusive disease, DIABETIC RETINOPATHY, and posterior segment inflammatory disease. (From Survey of Ophthalmology 2004; 49(5) 470-90)

Health chiefs urge parents to help reduce chickenpox, scarlet fever, diarrhoea and vomiting, and Covid-19 as cases rise
The team has starting to see trends in rising cases of infection related to increased socialising outside of school.
The team is recommending those with symptoms or signs of the above infections to stay at home and away from work, in line with NHS advice – and inform the setting or workplace as soon as possible.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s public health nurse consultant Zoe Stevens, said: “It is really important that parents and carers are aware of the early symptoms for Covid-19 and the common infections we have seen rising cases of in recent months, particularly in younger children.
“We encourage people to familiarise themselves with the guidance on the NHS website and speak to their GP or call 111, if they are worried about unusual symptoms.
“With some cases of Covid-19 in children across the East Riding for example, we have seen instances where both parents and schools have assumed a child has a straightforward stomach bug, but where they have been able to test, it’s actually been quite a common indicator for Coronavirus – so if in doubt it’s best to keep them at home for 48 hours and until they feel better.
“With the schools now broken up for the summer, we ask residents for support during the school holidays to keep children out of childcare and holiday clubs when they have a high temperature or symptoms of chickenpox or scarlet fever, even in the early stages, as this can be the most infectious stage.
“We need to keep everyone in the community safe from infectious diseases, particularly respiratory illness – so whether you are at home, on holiday or if you are running a holiday club or group in the community, please remember the basics of infection prevention – ventilate; encourage regular hand washing, especially before meals or preparing food; don’t forget to have tissues on hand for coughs and sneezes, and provide covered bins.
“If your child missed any NHS vaccines during the pandemic, such as their pre-school booster, contact your GP – it is never too late to have it.”

There’s an age-old debate about whether cardio or weight lifting is superior. Some swear by the benefits of cardiovascular workouts, while others sing the praises of pumping iron. But what if I told you that you don’t have to choose between the two? In fact, combining cardio and weight lifting in the same workout can be a game-changer for your fitness journey. Let’s dive into why this dynamic duo is so beneficial.
One of the primary advantages of incorporating both cardio and weight lifting in your workout is the incredible boost it gives to your metabolism. Running, cycling, or jumping rope, elevates your heart rate and burns calories during the workout. Weight lifting, on the other hand, builds muscle, and muscle requires more energy at rest than fat does. So, the more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate, meaning you’ll burn more calories even when you’re not working out. When you combine these two, you get a metabolic powerhouse that keeps your calorie-burning engine revving long after your workout is over.
Efficient Fat Loss
If your goal is to shed some unwanted pounds, then this dynamic duo is a dream come true. Cardio helps you burn calories, while weight lifting helps you build lean muscle. This muscle is metabolically active and can accelerate your fat loss. When you have more muscle mass, your body becomes more efficient at burning fat, which means you’ll achieve your weight loss goals more effectively.
Improved Cardiovascular Health
Cardio workouts are excellent for enhancing your cardiovascular health, but they can sometimes leave your muscles feeling neglected. When you combine the two, you ensure that your heart gets the workout it needs, while your muscles benefit from resistance training. This combination can lead to a stronger, more efficient heart, lower blood pressure, and reduced risk of heart disease.
Many fitness enthusiasts desire a balanced physique that isn’t just strong but also lean and toned. Cardio alone may lead to muscle loss if not done carefully, while weight lifting alone may not provide the lean, defined look you’re after. By combining the two, you strike a perfect balance.
Incorporating cardio into your weight lifting routine can improve your endurance and stamina. When your cardiovascular system is strong, you’ll be able to lift heavier weights for more extended periods. This can lead to more significant strength gains and better overall performance.
Greater Caloric Burn
High-intensity interval training (HIIT), a combination of short bursts of intense cardio followed by weight lifting, is a prime example of how this dual approach can boost your fitness. HIIT not only torches calories during the workout but also creates an afterburn effect known as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). EPOC means your body continues to burn calories at an elevated rate even after your workout. It’s a win-win for those looking to maximize caloric expenditure.
Enhanced Mental Health
Exercise is not just about physical health; it’s also essential for mental well-being. Cardio workouts release endorphins, those “feel-good” chemicals that can help combat stress, anxiety, and depression. Weight lifting, on the other hand, promotes self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment. When you combine both, you get a holistic approach to improving your overall mental health and reducing stress.
Weight lifting can help improve joint stability and muscle imbalances, reducing the risk of injury. When combined with cardio, which enhances flexibility and mobility, you have a workout regimen that not only makes you stronger but also less susceptible to injury.
It’s clear that the marriage of cardio and weight lifting is a match made in fitness heaven. These two training modalities complement each other beautifully, resulting in a more efficient, effective, and enjoyable workout experience. So, consider the numerous benefits of incorporating both cardio and weight lifting into your routine. Your body will thank you for it, and you’ll be well on your way to achieving your fitness goals.

Spaceship Games, What’s Out There?
The last week or so I’ve been doing some research on spaceship games. It’s a type of game that I miss playing. While I never had my own fleet, I’ve played Battlefleet Gothic quite the number of times. The game I have the most experience with is without a doubt A Call To Arms (ACTA) before they (Mongoose) killed it.
ACTA was a fun game with terrible game balance and it was very easy to abuse the fleet building rules. But it was a very fun game and with the added bonus that it was set in the Babylon 5 universe, which is one of the most underrated Sci-fi shows.
But enough of that..
It seems that spaceship games isn’t a very popular genre with only one high profile game (that I could find), Spartan Games Firestorm Armada. While I haven’t played it (I have played Uncharted and Dystopian) I doubt it’s something for me. The models are beautiful and I want them all but I just can’t force myself to like their rules.
After that I went on searching and found five games that sounded like they had potential, Starmada, Full Thrust, Pax Stellarum, Imperium Chronicles – Fleets at War and a generic re-write of Babylon 5 Wars. I’ve heard about Starmada and FT before but the rest were new to me. I quickly removed Starmada from the list as I don’t want the boardgame styled movement on a hex map.
FT sounds quite interesting and has a fan made expansion called Cross Dimension that seems good. One big bonus point is that both FT, CD and B5W are completely free. Fleets at War is quite inexpensive over at rpg.drivethrustuff.com so I’m going to pick up the bundle they have.
The last one I found, Pax Stellarum is a home made set of rules that, from the description sounds very interesting and this game is also free.
So.. now I just need to get started reading my way through these games, I’ve got all of them besides Fleets at War on my tablet and reading will start later tonight.

The good people at Jack Daniels pays tribute to one of their best customers, late Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, with a limited edition, single barrel whiskey.
Earlier this week, it was reported that the popular drink “Jack & Coke” had officially been renamed “the Lemmy”. Jack was always said to be Lemmy’s “go to” drink, it’s quite an honor to be publicly recognized as a brand ambassador.
The metal icon succumbed to cancer on December 28th, 2015, 4 days after his 70th birthday.
According to representatives from Jack Daniels:
If you were hoping to get your hands on a bottle, we hear the price was set at $99 a bottle with only 288 bottles being available for release, but the distributor at The Atlantic City Bottling Company has already sold out. Keep checking back for a possible new batch in a few weeks.

Gardai make arrest over alleged sexual offence after Facebook footage shows 'sting operation by girl (14)'
- Operation by the self-styled justice group in Midlands town
- Gardai arrest man following sting by child predator vigilantes
Gardai have arrested a man following a sting operation by a self-styled justice group targeting suspected child sexual predators.
A video posted online shows members of the group confronting a man as he sits in a car in the town.
The footage, which lasts for around 20 minutes, was streamed live on the group’s Facebook account and has been viewed almost 420,000 times.
It is alleged that the individual groomed a 14-year-old girl online over a period of time, and that he was in the area to meet up with the teenager.
It later emerges that the girl was a decoy, and that the man was in conversation with members of the justice group.
A man in his 40s was arrested in the town last night and was brought to a nearby garda station.
It is understood that he is being held under sexual offences legislation.
A garda spokesman said that they could not comment on the incident for operational reasons.
The man, who is identified in the video, is quizzed by at least two women who state that they travelled from Belfast to confront him.
They then removed his car keys from the ignition before asking him to step out and questioning him about what he is doing in the area.
It is alleged throughout that the individual asked the teenager to perform sex acts on herself, and that he would send pictures of his penis to her.
When questioned about what he was doing in the area, the man responds: "I wasn’t going to do nothing" and "I didn’t know she was 14".
He repeatedly states that he is sorry throughout the video.
When asked what he would do if someone groomed one of his younger relatives, he responds: "Probably kill them."
"I would never have touched anyone. I’m a scumbag," he adds.
Gardai are then called to the scene, and put the individual in handcuffs before placing him into a marked patrol car.
A source last night said that, despite the justice groups "heart appearing to be in the right place", the footage could present major complications for the investigation team.
"The fact that this footage was streamed live on Facebook and was viewed by hundreds of thousands of people will prove a major headache for gardai.
"The man is clearly identified and his name is mentioned throughout," the source said.
In August an Antrim man took his own life after they confronted him on his doorstep in relation to the alleged online grooming of a teenage girl.
The group claimed that the man had sent naked photographs to a member posing as a 14-year-old girl and had responded to another fake account.

Istanbul/ Delhi: India’s Nikhat Zareen has won the gold medal in the 52kg category at the Women’s World Championships in Istanbul, Turkey. She prevailed over Jitpong Jutamens of Thailand in the flyweight final on Thursday (May 19). He put up a great fight against his Thai rival in the final and won the gold medal.
What Nikhat Said after won the final-
🗣 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗠𝗣 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞 :
— Boxing Federation (@BFI_official) May 19, 2022
She became the fifth Indian woman to win gold in the tournament. Before him, veteran MC Mary Kom had won titles in 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2018. Apart from this, Sarita Devi, Jenny RL and Lekha KC won gold medals in their respective weight categories in 2006. Zareen was in excellent form during the match. She used her technical prowess and covered the court well enough to outdo his nimble-footed opponent. Nikhat managed to impress all the judges in the first round. She hit far more punches than a Thai boxer. The second round was tough and Jitpong Jutamens won it 3–2. Nikhat badly washed the opponent in the final round and the decision came unanimously (5-0) in his favor. Earlier in the semi-final, Zareen had won 5-0 against Brazil’s Caroline de Almeida.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also Tweeted-
Our boxers have made us proud! Congratulations to @nikhat_zareen for a fantastic Gold medal win at the Women’s World Boxing Championship. I also congratulate Manisha Moun and Parveen Hooda for their Bronze medals in the same competition. pic.twitter.com/dP7p59zQoS
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) May 19, 2022
A 12-member team took part from India. India has won the gold medal after four years. Earlier in 2018, MC Mary Kom had won. This year has been great for Nikhat. She had earlier won a gold medal at the Strantja Memorial in February. She became the first Indian female boxer to do so. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has congratulated Nikhat. He tweeted, “Congratulations Nikhat Zareen on winning the gold medal at the Women’s World Boxing Championships. India is proud of your achievement. Best wishes for your future endeavours.” Bronze medal to Manisha and Praveen-
Apart from Zareen’s gold medal, Manisha Maun (57 weight category) and Praveen Hooda (63 weight category), playing in the world championship for the first time, won bronze medals. Both of them had to face defeat in the semi-finals. Indian boxers won one silver and three bronze medals in the previous edition of the tournament held in Russia in 2019. India has won 36 medals including nine gold, eight silver and 19 bronze in the 11 editions of the tournament so far. In this case only Russia (60 medals) and China (50 medals) are ahead.


Environmentalists and those on the left continually bemoan the fact that America has about 4.25% of the world’s population but consumes more than 25% of its energy. We treat the environment, however, rather well compared to what we see around the world. The U.S. actually leads all other nations in reducing carbon emissions. The issue of resources vanishing before our eyes is largely a result of the behaviors and activities of both undeveloped nations and large population nations – China, India, and Indonesia among others — who show relatively little concern for the health of the planet.
In 1990, a statement signed by 1,575 scientists from 69 countries was sent to 160 national leaders, as reported by the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, D.C. Signers included 99 of the 196 Nobel Laureate scientists living at the time, as well as senior officers from prestigious scientific academies around the world.
What was in the letter? It warned that, “Human beings, in the natural world, are on a collision course.” Environmental concerns were apparent in the atmosphere, water resources, oceans, soil, tropical and temperate forests, and living species. The scientists lamented that, “Much of this damage is irreversible, on a scale of centuries or permanent.” They went on to say, “We are fast approaching many of the Earth’s limits.”
Here are some examples of our planetary resources being stretched:
* Water is at a premium. No more fresh water exists on the planet today than in Biblical times. Yet, the Earth’s population is eight times greater than it was in 1840.
* In 1990, 1.2 billion of 5.4 billion people had no access to clean drinking water. Today, 2.1 billion of nearly 8 billion people lack safe drinking water at home.
* In 1990, one in 15 people lived in areas defined as water-stressed or water-scarce. This number has risen to one in six people, and eventually could rise to one in three people.
* Chronic fresh water shortages have occurred in Mexico, Brazil, Africa, the Middle East, northern China, parts of India, several former Soviet Republics, and the western United States.
* More people imperil more species. The World Wildlife Federation’s endangered species list includes the ivory-billed woodpecker, Amur leopard, Javan rhinoceros, greater bamboo lemur, northern right whale, western lowland gorilla, leatherback sea turtle, and Siberian tiger.
* When 205 Nobel Prize winners were polled regarding the most compelling challenges confronting humanity, of 36 completed responses, #1 was population growth, and #2 was environmental degradation.
Too Many People?
Increasing human populations don’t inherently equate to mismanaged resources and more dire conditions, yet that has been the continuing norm. Lester Brown, former president of the World Watch Society, once observed that without radical, scientific breakthroughs, large increases in crop yields that have allowed production to keep up with the decades of rising human consumption might no longer be possible.
“Human demands are approaching the limits of oceanic fisheries to supply fish, grazing lands to support livestock, and, in many countries, of the hydrological cycle to produce fresh water,” Brown observed. “As a result of our population size, consumption patterns, and technology choices, we have surpassed the planet’s carrying capacity.”
Some people surmise that war, famine, and pestilence all reduce population. “Doesn’t nature manage things?” they ponder. Nature does not micro-manage our population. No war and no starvation – even what we had years ago in Somalia or Ethiopia – counterbalances the human net gain of one million people every few days.
The Ever Critical Masses
The quality of life for future generations depend in part on keeping population at a replacement level, i.e. the number of live births equaling the number of deaths. Even with fertility declining worldwide, the fertility in developing countries still averages more than four children per family. 30% of Latin American women, 40% of Asian women, and 50% of African women are married by age 18.
Of all 15-19 year-old girls alive today, it’s likely that a third or more will be pregnant by age 20. A huge swath of the population of developing countries is under the age of 20. With so many entering their reproductive years, population is destined to increase for many decades.
Nearly one half billion people are unemployed or underemployed in developing countries, while multi-millions more enter the job market each year. Difficult economic conditions, dwindling resources, and population growth have prompted millions of rural poor to migrate to cities and or to cross international borders in search of a better life.
The Only Way Out
New York, which headed the list of the ten largest cities in the world in 1950, is no longer in the top ten. Explosive human population growth is at the root of every planetary shortfall, emergency, and full-blown crisis. We must apply the brakes to this runaway train, however unpalatable that might be to some people. Collectively, we cannot continue down this path indefinitely.

Police are hunting for a racist thug who spat in someone’s face during an unprovoked assault on the city’s Hawkhill on Saturday evening.
A Spanish man was spat on before being racially abused by a man at a bus stop close to Tesco and the Marco Polo take-away restaurant, at around 7.10pm.
Police are looking to speak to a man described as being in his early twenties who was standing at the bus stop with two other males.
He is said to be around 5ft 9in tall, of medium build with short brown hair and was wearing a red top at the time of the attack.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Not only were his actions particularly disgusting, he then subjected the victim to verbal racist abuse.
“Anyone with any information that may be useful should contact Tayside Division on 101 quoting CR/15058/17 or speak to any police officer. Alternatively information can be passed anonymously via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

FROM OUR ARCHIVES: June 13, 2009
RELATIVES OF AN American sailor who was stabbed in the heart during a brawl in Halifax said the sentence given Friday to the killer would have been much tougher had more witnesses come forward.
Following an emotional series of victim-impact statements, Justice Felix Cacchione sentenced Cory Wright to 15 years in prison in the Nov. 4, 2006, manslaughter death of Damon Crooks, a 27-year-old from Jacksonville, Fla.
The Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge said that when time already served is taken into account, Wright will be eligible for parole in just 5 1/2 years.
Corwin Gooden, the half-brother of the U.S. navy petty officer, said outside court that the sentence was "lenient" when compared with U.S. justice.
Gooden and the victim’s brother, Hurchel Crooks, both residents of Florida, said the failure of key witnesses to help police is especially disturbing to the family.
They said more information might have led to a more serious charge or a longer sentence.
"We plead the next time that something like this happens that the community, the people who are out there and who were involved, should testify," said Gooden.
"A life was lost. A child is without a father."
As his parents and sister looked on, Hurchel Crooks warned that the city will continue to see a rise in violent assaults and crime unless citizens are more courageous about speaking to police.
"If no one wants to come forward and give witness and testify, the city will never get better," he said. "If crimes are being committed and nobody is willing to do anything about it, you’re just giving the perpetrators of crime more power to do what they want."
After Crooks was killed, Halifax Mayor Peter Kelly established a roundtable on violence to discuss crime in the city.
Last month, Police Chief Frank Beazley acknowledged that violent crime has been increasing in the city, but said it’s largely due to gang violence related to drugs and involves people who know one another.
Wright, 25, was charged with second-degree murder but admitted to the lesser charge in court in March after defence lawyers reached a deal with the Crown.
According to the agreed statement of facts, Crooks had come off the U.S. naval ship Doyle to spend a night with shipmates at the club Rain in the city’s downtown.
As he stood outside on the sidewalk with four others after the club closed, a man "known to Wright" approached Crooks’s shipmate, Alvin Leacock, punched him and grabbed at a chain around his neck.
Within seconds, 20 to 30 people were brawling outside the club with "kicking, punching, people being knocked to the ground . . . property being dropped and stolen from various participants."
Wright was reported to have been swinging his knife wildly "with the result that Damon Crooks, who may have been trying to break up the fighting, was stabbed four times."
One of the stab wounds struck the heavy-set sailor in the heart and he died later from severe internal bleeding.
Some of the other events were less clearly defined. The statement of facts stated that Crooks was seen a little later in the fight "trying to push several people away from him."
"It was at this time that Cory Wright came into possession of various pieces of Crooks’s identification, which were found on him by police at the time of his arrest."
Wright was on parole at the time of the killing for an earlier attempted murder conviction in the 2002 stabbing of a Halifax man and his girlfriend.
Cacchione, in reading his verdict, conceded that some of Crooks’s family would regard the sentence as too light.
However, he told them the difficulty was that a charge of murder might have failed before a jury.
"In this case the evidence of many witnesses was flawed because of intoxication at the time of the event or because of a lack of precise observation of the events or, for a number of witnesses, because they were unco-operative and did not want to assist the authorities," the judge said.
The hearing was emotional as family members read letters describing their anguish at the loss of the quiet young man.
Most portrayed a gentle giant of a man with a tendency to help others when there were conflicts.
His mother described him as "a loving, giving young man with a heart as big as the world."
Crooks left behind a pregnant fiancee, Schyla Washington, who gave birth to a little girl almost two months after the killing.
Hurchel Crooks struggled to read his statement, as Wright sat listening with his chin on his hands.
He said the hardest realization is that his brother will never have the chance to know or bring up his two-year-old daughter.
"My beautiful niece Damani will never hear her dad’s voice saying "I love you,’ " Hurchel told the court.
"She will never tell him where it hurts, or how was school today. . . . None of those things, never, ever."

Hundreds of Vinton County residents still lack water as officials work on a new solution< < Back to
McArthur, Ohio (WOUB) — For more than a decade, Jim Aders has hauled 1,800 gallons of water a month back to his home to supply himself, and his wife with the water they need.
Just a quarter mile down the road from Aders’ house is a water line, but Vinton County doesn’t have the funds to run the line to his and many other homes in the area.
“I’ve hauled water for 12 years now, and we’ve lived down here permanently for 12 years,” said Ader, who is 78. “The county water is at the end of our road, but they won’t bring it back because it costs too much.”
The county applied for funding in May to run new water lines to residents who did not have access to water at all or had wells that are constantly going dry. It didn’t get the money, leaving hundreds of residents still without access to water at their homes.
Many of these residents are driving into town to load and haul massive amounts of water back to their homes from vending stations.
“It’s just … frustrating because nobody has done anything to get it done,” Aders said.
Vinton County officials have found new hope submitting an application to the Appalachian Regional Commission asking them to step in and help. Vinton County Director of Development Terri Fetherolf said there is a new plan of attack.
The new plan will consist of building main water lines out to homes on roads such as Garrett Ridge to supply residents with reliable water. The new lines could be expanded in the future to supply other homes in the area.
Also, Jackson County Water is expanding farther out from its home base. The new plan would allow it to benefit by strengthening its water lines that serve the southwest part of Vinton County.
“There would be another about 127 homes whose home systems or at least the line out by the road would be updated so that it would have sufficient capacity,” Fetherolf said about the new multi-prong plan.
However, the plan is not achievable without the much-needed funding.
Aders isn’t sure he can wait much longer. “No, as a matter of fact, I’m thinking seriously about just going ahead and having someone come out and drill a well, so I will have enough water because the county, the township has not — they’re trying but nobody’s succeeding.”
Vinton County is still waiting on a response back on the application submitted to the Appalachian Regional Commission.

Two sources of previous inspiration collided recently. A lunch at Ozumu introduced me to yuzu and then a couple of weeks later a pass through the Village Market in the Ferry Building turned up a jar of yuzu marmalade. I took it as a sign that a yuzu cupcake was in order.
Yuzu is making its rounds on dessert menus these days often paired with white chocolate. I decided to go the same route. I thought about a third flavor, but wanted to keep this first experiment pretty simple partly because I was taking them to a party with a lot of kids. The yuzu marmalade is quite tart and at least my kid wasn’t a fan. She ate up the rest of the cupcake though. The adults agreed that the yuzu and white chocolate combination was tasty. The white chocolate whipped cream is a light alternative to buttercream when you don’t want something too sweet.
Oh, and I don’t think that I have mentioned that I am on Facebook. If you prefer to get your updates there…
White Vanilla Bean Cupcakes
~18 regular-sized cupcakes / 350 degree oven
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, room temperature
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 vanilla bean
4 large egg whites
1. Beat butter on high until soft, about 30 seconds.
2. Add sugar. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
4. Measure out milk and vanilla and mix together. Add the seeds scraped out of 1/2 of a vanilla bean.
5. Add about a third of the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and beat to combine. Add about a half of the milk and beat to combine. Continue adding, alternating between dry and wet and finishing with the dry.
6. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until firm. Fold egg whites gently into the batter until you can see no more streaks.
7. Scoop into cupcake papers about half full. Don’t overfill.
8. Place cupcakes in the oven and turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Bake for 20-22 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.
Note: These cupcake will rise some and then shrink back a bit. If you are using regular cupcake papers, the paper shrinks with them. With the firmer cupcake papers I use, they pull from the side. I don’t worry about it too much as it’s not obvious once the frosting is on top.
White Chocolate Whipped Cream from Gourmet Productions
2 cups heavy cream
9 ounces white chocolate, I used Green & Blacks
1 vanilla bean
1. Pour heavy cream into a medium sized bowl and warm over a bain marie (water bath).
2. Split the vanilla bean and add it to the cream.
3. Chop the chocolate and add it to the cream once its steaming. Whisk to melt chocolate.
4. Once smooth remove from the water bath and chill until cold in the refrigerator. Whisk occasionally so a film doesn’t form on top.
5. Whip with a whisk attachment on high speed until for about 3 minutes until it’s frosting consistency.
