Munster pack lift Reds to third win on the spin
The Irish province dominated most of the match and scored two tries to one but Ospreys were able to register a losing bonus point. Keeping the ball in the tight exchanges paid dividends and Bleyendaal's third penalty put the final nail in the Ospreys' coffin.


The Tecoh City Council, Yucatan municipality, had exhorted the population to stay at home and thus avoid contagion of coronavirus, people broke the quarantine to buy chicken at a low price.
The events occurred on the morning of Tuesday April 7, when a long line was formed to buy chicken meat for 10 pesos pero kilo, in front of the Municipal Palace, without establishing healthy distance protocols.
Dozens of people went to the Municipal Palace to buy chicken, although it was anticipated that only up to 5 kilograms of the product would be sold to each person.
Non of the people wore face masks as the authorities have ordered, which has unleashed a wave of criticism against the Tecoh City Council, since it was they who launched the irresistible offer.
Although the intention of the municipality of Tecoh had the objective of giving the product at an economic price, as a benefit for the people’s economy, the sanitary measures necessary due to the contingency were not taken.The Yucatán Times

I'm No Longer Here
“I’m No Longer Here,” which won the Golden Pyramid Best Film and Best Actor prizes at the 2019 Cairo International Film Festival and was a selection of the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, made its debut on Netflix Wednesday, May 27.
The film tells the story of Ulises (newcomer Juan Daniel Garcia Treviño), a 17-year-old boy living in Monterrey, Mexico. Ulises is the leader of Los Terkos, a youthful street gang in the area. Ulises and his crew don’t engage in criminality so much as they dance to cumbia (Definition per Wikipedia: “a broad genre of popular music that originated among Afro-Colombian populations in the Caribbean of Colombia, and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later, particularly in El Salvador, the Andean region and Argentina.”), drink and do drugs. The young men in Los Terkos sport baggy threads and funky hairdos.
Things are going swimmingly enough for Ulises until a fateful day when he’s in the wrong place at the wrong time and observes a gangland massacre. The attack’s lone survivor thinks Ulises set them up. The perpetrators want to eradicate the sole eyewitness. Ulises leaves his friends and family behind and flees to the New York City neighborhood of Jackson Heights, Queens.
Ulises isn’t welcomed with open arms to the United States. He’s mocked and ultimately physically attacked by his room and workmates for the way he looks and the music to which he listens. He tries to kick up some scratch by dancing to cumbia in the subway, but is accosted by crazies and hassled by police for permits. Ulises does occasional odd jobs for an elderly bodega owner and begins squatting on the shopkeeper’s roof unbeknownst to him. It’s here that he meets Lin (Angelina Chen), the old man’s 16-year-old granddaughter. She takes an immediate liking to Ulises, but he’s ultimately more of a cultural curiosity than a friend.
Treviño impresses in his acting debut. He brings great vulnerability to the role. His Ulises overcomes a huge hurdle in being immensely likable despite me hating the way he looks. Ulises’ haircut is the worst ‘do committed to film since Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker’s doo-doo ‘dos in Luc Besson’s “The Fifth Element.” I had to laugh when Ulises’ bullies made a crack about him looking like he was from “Dragon Ball Z” despite it being unkind.
“I’m No Longer Here” is written and directed by Fernando Frias, who helmed all six episodes of Fred Armisen’s HBO series “Los Espookys.” It’s not an especially flashy movie, but it’s a sensitive and attractive one. The shot compositions dreamed up by cinematographer Damián García, who lensed much of Netflix’s “Narcos: Mexico,” are highly evocative of place and feeling. The filmmakers let the dance sequences breathe, which allows the craft to come to the forefront. This isn’t an overtly political film, but it certainly makes a clear-cut case for asylum and acceptance.

President Obama accused Republicans Monday of playing games with the federal budget, warning them that threatening a government shutdown over funding for Planned Parenthood or ObamaCare would be “completely irresponsible.”
Speaking at a Labor Day event in Boston, Obama said Congress should work to approve federal spending bills that end across-the-board funding cuts rather than wage policy battles over healthcare that could risk a shutdown at the end of the month.
“So far, at least, instead of hearing about how we can move together, what we’re hearing from [Republicans] is threats that they might shut down the government over things that don’t have anything to do with the budget,” he said. “Try to stop the budget in order to force us to do something that would restrict women’s healthcare, for example. That’s not a good idea.”
When Congress returns this week, Republicans are expected to launch an assault on federal funding for Planned Parenthood in light of undercover videos accusing it of illegal activity.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnellAddison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellTrump seeking challenger to McConnell as Senate GOP leader: report Budget chairman: Debt ceiling fight 'a ridiculous position to be in' Buckle up for more Trump, courtesy of the Democratic Party MORE (R-Ky.) said last week that the Senate will vote on defunding the group when lawmakers return, though he acknowledged Obama is likely to veto such a bill if it were to pass. Democrats have said Republicans risk another government shutdown if they push the issue too far.
Obama also needled Republicans for forcing votes to undo ObamaCare, a failed effort that lead to the 2013 government shutdown.
“Everybody says it’s working,” Obama said. “It’s working better than even I expected, and costing less, and they’re still talking about repealing.”
Obama plugged the state of the U.S. economy, saying it’s performing better than in other parts of the world and warning that a shutdown could threaten that status.
He compared a potential shutdown to an “unforced error,” and made reference to the infamous Bill Buckner error that helped cost the Boston Red Sox the World Series in 1986.
“It’d be like a ground ball slipping through somebody’s legs,” Obama said, cheekily, to groans from the Boston crowd.
“You guys have won a couple since then, so I can make that joke,” he said. “If you hadn’t had so many World Series, I wouldn’t make that joke.”

text: The basic life strategy is not to avoid the pitfalls. It is to see what we are doing and what needs to be done in each situation as it arises, and live to be what the situation needs us to be with sincerity and integrity, in the service of our original nature and the innate virtues that come loaded in our DNA. And when we step into a pitfall, to be aware of what led up to it and what we could have done to avoid it, and see what it has to show us about who we are and how we are going about our life. Joseph Campbell said, "Where we stumble and fall, that is where the treasure lies. Start digging!" Our life is a series of events and experiences which require us to change our mind about what is important all along the way. We grow up against our will, and our life is designed to show us where the growing places are. If it weren't for the pitfalls, we would be insufferable! We learn kindness, compassion and humility from what our life has to teach us, and we are better people for learning our way through our life.

The Quintessence of Vedanta (Sarva Vedanta Siddhanta Sara Sangrah) By Swami Tattwananda.
Publisher: Sri Ramakrishna Advaita Ashrama, P. 0. Kalady, Dt. Ernakulam, Kerala State, India
Description of Self-Realization according to Acharya Sankara
866. Speaking of the Atman, the sruti says, 'I am the pure, inmost, Atman, untouched by
ignorance, and ever existent. I am at once tranquil and limitless. I am an ocean of eternal bliss.
867. I have existed prior to all else. I am without beginning. All which may be comprehended by
means of words and by the mind, that I am. I am comprehended only by the sruti. Pure knowledge,
Perfect and indivisible -such is my nature. (That which speech does not illumine, but which
illumines speech, know that alone to be Brahman: not this which people worship here. Kena
Upanishad: 1. 1, 4.)
868. I differ from the known and I am other than the unknown. I am free from mAyA and all its
effects. I am the witnessing consciousness; I am pure knowledge, ever effulgent.
869 I am neither the effect nor the cause of anything: Within me and around me there is nothing
other than the infinite Atman. Old age, decay and death are - not for me. I am imperishable, for I
an, bliss eternal; I am , the one without a second. [He transformed Himself in accordance with each
form: that form of his was for the sake of making him known. The Lord On account of mAyA
notions superimposed by ignorance, is perceived as manifold. This self, the perceiver of everything
is Brahman. (Brihadaranyakaopanishad II 5.19)]
870. I am Brahman which is at once the supreme light, and the supreme reality, and which is in no
way other than the innermost Atman, which is indivisible, and, ever pure, which is of the nature of
satchidananda, and 'which is comprehended only by what the srutti: says.
871. It is in this way that the man of renunciation should meditate through all the diverse
modifications of the mind, upon the nature of pure existence as the sole object of thought, in so far
as it is indirectly presented through the words of the sruti. In the first instance,, one begins with the
following concept: 'I am the witness of. the desires that arise in me.' Then step by step, one comes
to realize, as pointed out by the sruti. 'I am pure.' It is in this way that one should meditate upon
the Atman -with entire devotion. Such is the process by which one attains savikalpa. samAdhi, in
association with the words of the sruti.
873. Where the mind functions no longer, where there are no objects of knowledge, and where the
Atman, the witnessing consciousness, is the sole reality, there arises the experience of nirvikalpa
874. One who has practised savikalpa samadhi for a long time becomes at long last fit to attain
nirvikalpa samadhi, by virtue of the residual impression Of what he, has practised previously, at an
875. It is certain that one who is solely intent upon the realization of Brahman in nirvikalpa
samadhi becomes the eternal Brahman. For such the vicious cycle of birth and death has come to
an end. Such a person attains the bliss that knows no obstacles, but which is eternal in nature,
changeless and continuous.
876. Rare indeed are the knowers of Brahman; ior they are not other than Brahman. They are not
conscious of anything within them such as the idea'of 'I and mine'; nor are they conscious of
anything outside them such as 'this or that'. They are lost, as it were, in the infinite ocean of bliss, -
which is the bliss of the inmost Atman, and they remain for ever absorbed in a grand silence.
877. They are indeed the most fortunate who have lost their individuality in that Supreme Being.
They alone are liberated, even though they might, seem 'to be embodied beings as far as the others
878. All these three types of samadhi, the savikalpa, either in association with the objects of
knowledge, or with the sruti, and the nirvikalpa should be practised diligently. By such diligent
observance, all that is within oneself, and all that which is without, become negated; and it is only
then that all duality,comes to an end.
879. I shall now recapitulate briefly the nature of the samadhi. Listen with attention. The Supreme
Brahman is of the nature of existence-knowledge-bliss and is the substratum of all.
880. The universe of name and form seems to exist only in so far as it. is superimposed upon
Brahman. In reality, it is upon the triune nature of Brahman as satchidananda that they have their
881. In addition to these three, two different attributes are added' from the world of phenomena
viz. name and form. All these five entities become blended together. Thus name, form, existence,
consciousness and bliss become intermingled.
882. Those who are unenlightened,, mix together the real and the unreal: and they refer to the
combination of the two as 'this universe'. It is as though one should put together the diverse factors
such as coldness, whiteness, taste, liquidity, and the name 'wave' and describe it all together and
say, 'This is a wave'.
883. It is only by superimposing the name and the form that people say, 'This is a wave'. It is in the
way that people , superimpose name and. form up on rahman also. , But when these
taken' away, what remains is Brahman alone.
884. Therefore a man of renunciation should separate name and form from Brahman, in order to
realize Brahman Which is of the nature of existence-consciousness-bliss by means of concentration,
885. It is in this way that by merging everything in Brahman that the man of renunciation becomes
convinced, and knows for. certain. 'I am -undoubtedly the -supreme Brahman, non-dual, of the
nature ' of existence-knowledge-bliss, and that which constitutes the substratum of all names and
886. Neither earth, nor water, nor fire, nor air, nor space, nor their products constitute Brahman.
As for me, I am none other than the non-dual Brahman, who is pure existence, and the substratum
887. I am neither sound, nor form nor touch, nor smell, nor taste, nor even anything other than
these. I am none other than the supreme non-dual Brahman, who is pure existence and the
substratum of all.
888. Neither the dravyas, nor the gunas, nor the kriyas, nor jati nor visesha, nor anything else
constitute Brahman. Therefore I am none other than the supreme non-dual Brahman who is pure
existence and the substratum of all. [Dravyas or substances, according to vaiseshikas are nine in
number. They are earth. water, light, air, other, time, space, soul and mind. Gunas or qualities are
twenty four in number. They are color, taste, smell, touch, sound, number, magnitude. distinctness,
conjunction; disjunction. remoteness, fluidity, viscosity, tendency, merit and demerit. Kriyas or
actions are f ive. They are throwing upward, throwing down-ward, contraction. expansion and
locomotion. Jati or class distinguishes one object from another object; Visesha is the eternal
distinction, or the inherent nature of each of the nine dravyss]
889. I am neither the body, nor the senses , nor the vital force, nor the mind, nor the intellect, nor
the -thinking faculty, nor, the ego. I am none other than the non-dual Brahman who is pure
existence and the substratum of all.
890. Neither space nor time, nor the directions, nor other things. nor the gross word, nor the subtle
constitute Brahman. I am none other than the non-dual Brahman, 'who is pure existence, and is the
substratum of all.
891- The wise man who is ever absorbed in the practice Of concentration, and to whom the whole
of the external world of knowledge becomes blended in the consciousness of Brahman, knows at all
times, whether he is walking, or-standing or lying down, that in reality the universe of name and
form is none other than Brahman, who alone exists and is the substratum of all.
892- One should therefore meditate in the following manner; 'I am Brahman, the non-dual
Supreme bliss'. One should merge in Brahman' all name and form, for they are superimposed on
893. That unchanging, formless, untainted Brahman, who knows no sorrow and who is without a
beginning and an end, and is all-pervading, That I am; and there is no doubt about it.
894. One should meditate in the following manner: 'I am Brahman, who is taintless, who is free
from fear; and also free from the three kinds of limitations imposed by time, space, and the nature
of things, and who is ever blissful, imperishable and free.'
895. One should therefore meditate in the following manner: I am Brahman who is free from all
attributes, whose nature is not reflected in anything else, who is ever free, who undergoes no
change, and who is of the nature of pure knowledge, and of nothing else, and who is ever existing.'
896 One should therefore, meditate thus: ‘I am Brahman, who is ever pure, who is untainted by
ignorance; who is realizable only by means of the right knowledge of Brahman, who is the supreme,
the inmost and indivisible, the self-effulgent.'
897. One, should therefore meditate, in the following manner: 'I am the supreme non-dual
Brahman, whose nature is very subtle, who is pure existence, the absolute, the greatest of .the great
and ever pure.'
:898. One who thus meditates upon that 'pure reality whose nature is indicated by such expressions
as being devoid of change and the like, has one's mind established in Brahman, the goal.

Autumn to me it all about contrast. It’s true that all seasons are shifting, changing things but Autumn seems more so to me somehow, and I believe that the key to capturing such a feeling, within any arrangement, is to exploit the contrasts that nature gives you. This all comes through the choice of your flowers and foliage.
Here I have chosen to use gorgeous dark brown Beech leaves, Rebeca seed heads and Vibernum, for the base of my hand tie. These not only provide that deep, dark, ‘winter is coming’ feeling, but also a wonderful texture, something that I think is essential to giving that feeling of autumn.
The contrast comes in with the use of pale creams, pinks and peaches, chosen for the main flowers, or leading ladies of the arrangement; dahlias, Valencia roses (a personal favourite) and astrantia.
Once you have made your choice you are ready to compose your hand tie. Start with a central flower held in your left hand if you’re right handed and your right hand if you’re left handed. Add other stems at an angle, at the point of your thumb hold the stems (this is called the binding point) with the flower head facing away from you.
Once you have added a couple, twist the bouquet round and continue onto the bare side of your central flowers, this is mostly so your stems will end up in a beautiful spiral, but also so you don’t get the same flowers next to each other. I however quite like it if you get some of the same flowers next to one another, it just keeps thinks looking natural, a little more like they have been scooped from up from a field. What an awesome field that would be!!
Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, it’s not meant to be. I believe that flowers should reflect people, and no person is perfect.

I have continued my raku work this year and have recently started to explore high-fired glazes on stoneware and porcelain, in particular Chun glazes which are fascinating…and unpredictable.
In preparing the raku pieces, once thrown they are left to dry, then burnished and, in most cases, coated on the outside with terra sigillata, a fine slip coat, which provides a smooth, shiny finish and excellent absorbent outer surface for smoke and fumes. The only exception is where they are to be fully glazed, in which case they are just lightly burnished.
I have had a lot of fun exploring this technique recently. Strictly speaking these are bin firings, but the effects are the same as those produced by the more traditional pit firing.
The first stages are as above – burnishing, terra sigillata and electric firing. The pieces are then coated with ferric chloride, then wrapped in cloth which has been soaked in copper salts and dried. This bundle is then placed on a base of wood, paper and sawdust in a small bin, covered with more paper, sawdust, salts and sometimes organic matter such as seaweed or corn husks. The bin is set alight and left to burn for several hours. Once cool, the pot is removed, wiped with a dry cloth, then polished with crystal wax.
Metallic glazes and lustres
Pieces are fired to 975 in an electric kiln then brushed with a lustre glaze. They are then fired to 975 – 1000 in a gas-fired raku kiln, removed after just a few minutes cooling temperature and placed in a bin of shredded paper and sawdust for 10 – 15 minutes to promote reduction and produce metallic effects and lustres.
The pieces are thrown in stoneware or porcelain the glazed with a chun base then a chun glaze, sometimes with the addition of copper oxide. The pieces are fired quickly to 1240-1260C. The glazes are free flowing and unpredictable, but when they behave they produce some wonderful effects.
A complex but dramatic technique which produces excellent contracts of black and white. Pieces are burnished and coated with terra sigillata, a fine slip coat, which provides a smooth, shiny finish and excellent absorbent outer surface for smoke and fumes. After a first firing to 975 degrees in an electric kiln the pieces are dipped in a resist slip (some having been masked with tape), then once dry are dipped again in a white crackle glaze. The pieces are then fired to 950/975 in a gas-fired raku kiln and taken from the kiln immediately and placed in a bin of shredded paper and sawdust for 5-10 minutes. On removal, the ‘sacrificial’ layers (resist slip and glaze) fall away, revealing the smoke marks on the surface of the piece. A finishing layer of crystal wax is applied to protect the surface and bring out the shine.
A fast firing technique that produces a range of colours which are very sensitive to temperature – a few degrees can make the difference between a strong yellow and a salmon pink. The first stages are as above – burnishing, terra sigillata and electric firing. The pieces are then coated with ferric chloride and wrapped in an aluminium foil saggar. A very fast firing to anywhere between 625 and 700 degrees is followed by immediate removal from the kiln and exposure to air. Once cooled, the pots are given a wax finish as above.

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe (2008)
Above: That’s not Reptile on the right, but he’s green, so eh
When the Mortal Kombat characters teamed with DC’s stable of superheroes for a T-rated punchfest, it was Reptile’s turn to sit one out while his former master went toe-to-toe with the likes of Batman and Captain Marvel. With a new look that was sort of an amalgam of his MK3 and Deadly Alliance appearances, Shang Tsung turned out to be pretty well adapted to MKvsDCU’s more streamlined, combo-heavy action. He still couldn’t transform into other characters – not during regular combat, anyway – but he did return with a few new moves.
In addition to his old fireballs and the Soul Steal, he could now blast a jet of fire into the air…
… which would then come crashing down on his opponent’s head, sort of like Sub-Zero’s ice-geyser move from MK3.
Additionally, he packed a slide move that would enable him – once his opponent was knocked over – to launch them skyward with a well-placed kick.
In the interest of confusing opponents (or just dodging their attacks), he also had a long-overdue teleport move, which let him slip behind them with just enough time to punch the backs of their heads.
What’s a little strange, however, is that Tsung actually had two teleport moves. In addition to the aforementioned “Hot Escape,” he could switch bodies – or, more accurately, positions – with his opponent.
Above: Well, that accomplished a lot. It probably would have accomplished more if we’d actually had temporary control of Green Lantern when it was over
Fatality-wise, Tsung’s status as a soul-stealing wizard gave the developers license to create some (relatively) kid-friendly Fatalities, like the one where he strangles the souls out of his opponent before stomping on his or her back…
Or, more interestingly, turns into his opponent before stealing their souls.
Above: Man, why couldn’t we have done this during the fight?
Mortal Kombat (2011)
At last, we’re at the final entry – as well as full-circle back to the beginning. In rebooting the franchise, the new Mortal Kombat gives us two varieties of Shang Tsung – a slightly younger and more vital version of the old man from the first tournament, and a revamped younger version who’s similar to the one seen in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. He seems to have kept a lot of his moves from MK3, and while he can’t transform into every character again, his Soul Steal now allows him to temporarily take on the form of his opponent, which seems like an acceptable compromise.
Reptile, meanwhile, has gotten a complete redesign once again, this time taking into account both his reptilian species and his hidden-ninja origins. He’s smaller and faster than before, and carries himself like he did in his crouching, scuttling MK4 incarnation.
Also, in sharp contrast to his original appearance, there’s nothing particularly secretive about his participation in the first MK tournament this time around – in fact, he’s one of the first fighters called to face players at the beginning of the new MK’s story mode. As for how he and Shang Tsung will actually play, well, we’ll find out when the game ships next week.

Two fresh Lana Del Rey tracks? It’s Christmas. The songstress has teamed up with A$AP Rocky for the stellar tracks ‘Summer Bummer’ and ‘Groupie Love,’ and you can listen to them now.
Lana Del Rey gifted us with “Groupie Love” and “Summer Bummer” today, July 12, via Beats 1, and you can hear them both below! “Summer Bummer” features A$AP Rocky and Playboi Carti and it’s exactly what your beach playlist needed. Lana’s voice definitely works with A$AP’s hip-hop sound, and of course we’re thrilled at the throwback to their collaboration on the “National Anthem” music video. A$AP features on “Groupie Love” as well, and we’re obsessed.
Lana has slowly started teasing her new album Lust For Life. She first released the record’s title track that featured The Weeknd on April 19. Their PDA-filled music video together was absolutely steamy. It totally fit in with Lana’s vintage aesthetic and The Weeknd’s tortured vibes. Lana revealed that she has a track coming with the legendary Stevie Nicks, 68, on this new album too. She has got to stop taunting us with these incredible tidbits and give us the whole thing already!
The album’s trailer hinted at what’s in store for Lust For Life. “There’s no place I’d rather be than smack dab in the middle of Hollyweird,” Lana’s mysterious character said. She looked like she was living in the famous Hollywood sign! “Even those these times can feel a little bit crazy, they’re not so very different from what other generations have experienced at one time or another before,” the ghostly character said. Will Lana’s entire album be about an immortal ghost?
Listen to “Summer Bummer” and “Groupie Love:”
HollywoodLifers, are you totally obsessed with Lana’s new tracks? Tell us what you think of them!

text: The purpose of this chapter is to outline two basic methods for the purification and in vitro polymerization of tubulin from echinoderm sperm flagellar microtubules and to summarize the uses and advantages of this system. Methods were developed for the purification and assembly of tubulin and microtubule-associated proteins (MAPS), by depolymerization at 0°C and repolymerization at 37°C, in Mg2+/GTP-containing buffers. Relative to the basal body (minus) and the distal (plus) ends of cilia and flagella, microtubules were defined kinetically as having plus and minus ends; the plus end corresponds to the fast-growing end with a higher on rate for tubulin assembly and it is distal relative to the cell center, whereas the minus end is a slow-growing end generally associated with the centrosomes/spindle poles in both interphase and mitotic cells. Flagellar doublet microtubules could be solubilized by sonication in Mg2+/GTP-containing buffers at 0°C and repolymerized by elevating the temperature to 37°C; the conditions and kinetic parameters of flagellar tubulin assembly in vitro were essentially identical to those for mammalian brain tubulin. A method developed by combining the fractionation procedure used to selectively solubilize tubulin from the B-subfiber and the need to protect the GTP binding site during solubilization to answer the question of how tubulin isoforms might influence tubulin assembly and microtubule structure. The methods described in the chapter are solubilization of doublet tubules by sonication, thermal fractionation of doublet tubules into crude, soluble B-Tubulin, and cycled polymerization and depolymerization of soluble doublet tubulin. Native doublet microtubules are complex structures consisting of an A-tubule with 13 protofilaments and an incomplete B-tubule with 10 protofilaments that are attached to the A-tubule in a specific pattern. Soluble doublet tubulin polymerizes in vitro to give singlet microtubules with variable numbers of protofilaments and these microtubules are cold labile.

8 Reasons Why Today's Occupiers Are Tomorrow's Tea Partiers
Something creepy is happening in Minnesota. A dialogue has begun between the Tea Party and Occupy movements. Stranger still, it may be leading somewhere.
Facilitating the discussion is an organization called the Caux Round Table. Global Executive Director Steve Young seems hell-bent on bridging the divide between the two movements.
Young is the author of Moral Capitalism, a tome outlining the Caux Round Table’s vision for “reconciling private interest with the public good.” In speaking to Young and perusing his book, it is apparent that he is adept at speaking any political language, in sounding conservative to conservatives and progressive to progressives. This is not deception or pandering. Young simply aspires to operate above the political fray, and genuinely believes in consensus between perceived extremes.
Although he has never said it, Young and his organization appear to be communitarian, evangelists of “the third way” once evoked by President Bill Clinton. Communitarians seek a synthesis of capitalism and communism, an imagined happy middle ground where people can pursue their dreams in a market smartly regulated to ensure that the poor and under-privileged don’t slip through the cracks. Young’s book synopsis explains:
Author Stephen Young argues that "brute capitalism" -- profit-seeking regardless of effects -- must give way to moral capitalism to attain widespread monetary and moral well-being.
You get the idea.
Seeing the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street as two sides of the same coin, Young and the Caux Round Table have reached out to activists from each movement to debate the role of government and deliberate a proposed “joint statement of common principles.” This author is among those representing the Tea Party in that process, and has been afforded the opportunity to engage Occupiers in moderated forums.
So far, the possibility of consensus between the movements seems dependent on our willingness to ignore glaring differences. There are certain fundamental impasses beyond which consensus is impossible. However, the discussion has offered some insight into what makes Occupiers tick, who they are beyond the hyperbole of the media, and how their worldview may track far more conservative than they realize.
Here are eight reasons why today’s Occupiers may become tomorrow's Tea Partiers.

Rehtaeh Parsons’ Death Inspired a Cyberbullying Law in Canada — But Does It Hurt Free Speech?
A Canadian lawyer has launched a constitutional challenge of an anti-online harassment law, arguing its definition of “cyberbullying” is too expansive and infringes on free expression.
The case of two feuding businessmen, one alleging the other “cyber-bullied” him, is raising new questions about the broadness of Nova Scotia’s Cyber-Safety Act, which the province passed following the death of Rehtaeh Parsons.
Parsons, 17, was taken off life support after she attempted suicide in April, 2013. The Nova Scotian teenager had been relentlessly harassed after a non-consensual photo of her alleged rape circulated among her peers. After news of her death went viral worldwide, the NS government rushed to pass the Cyber-Safety Act. The legislation’s goal was to fill gaps in existing laws, but it has drawn scrutiny for its overly-broad definition of “cyberbullying” — which is now being put to the test.
After he says he was bullied online last year, NS businessman Giles Crouch obtained an online restraining order under the Cyber-Safety Act against his former business partner Robert Snell. On Tuesday, a judge agreed that Snell’s alleged online actions qualified as “cyberbullying,” which in essence under the act means the repeated use of technology to cause damage or harm to another person’s well-being.
Snell’s alleged online bullying of Crouch started after the two men had a falling out.
In 2010, Crouch and Snell started a social media business, later known as MediaBadger, but according to Crouch, their relationship began to break down in 2011. He accused Snell of losing his temper and destroying office equipment during “unprovoked fits of rage” in the office. He also claimed his partner reneged on financial and software development duties.
According to Snell’s side of the story, MediaBadger’s failure “was largely caused by Mr. Crouch,” and he resigned in response to questions “about professionalism and finances.”
As part of the release, the two former partners agreed not to bad-mouth each other.
But months later, in June 2014, Crouch alleges Snell texted his employer to say the Canada Revenue Agency was trying to get in touch with him. Crouch viewed it as an attempt to undermine his reputation. Then in July, he says Snell “began what would be a several month long smear campaign” against him using Google+, Twitter, and his blog.
Snell allegedly posted snide comments on Twitter, including, “Received my weekly call where Agency X is looking for an idiot. Passed on the info & had a laugh. I’m going to miss these calls.” And following Crouch’s discussion of cybersecurity on CTV, Snell tweeted, “That is brilliant, almost like asking a plumber for medical advice.”
One day, after the two former business partners spotted each other on the street, Snell tweeted, “You see someone and want to clothesline them … That is normal right?”
In his court brief, Crouch said the tweet caused him to fear for his safety, although Snell said he blocked his former partner from reading his tweets.
Crouch also said Snell hacked his Twitter account, but the respondent says that’s not true.
Late last year, Crouch received several anonymous emails saying he was being dishonest and would be outed as a fraud. That’s when he decided to take legal action.
Related: Canada’s New Cyberbullying Law Is Targeting Teen Sexting Gone Awry
Crouch’s lawyer Laura Venoit told VICE News that when her client went to police, they told him the allegations didn’t meet the narrow definition of criminal harassment, so they couldn’t lay charges.
Crouch also considered launching a defamation suit, but he wanted a fast process that would result in the harassment ending and the bullying posts being taken down.
But as Fraser told VICE News, a judge issued Crouch a cyber-protection order without hearing Snell’s position, since the process only requires one side of the story.
Crouch was never named in any of Snell’s online comments, Fraser emphasized. Snell’s tweets selected by Crouch “by and large” do not refer to him, and were taken out of context, he said.
Snell also denies sending any of the anonymous emails. As for “fits of rage,” Snell admitted he cracked a desk one time, and hit his hand on a desk on another occasion.
Crouch accused Snell of breaching the protection order by tweeting a photo of a tie with a skull-and-crossbones print on the day the case was set to be heard in court, with the words “Could this be the tie for my meeting this afternoon? Probably not…”
Defining comments like the one above as “cyberbullying” is exactly why the law is too broad, Fraser told VICE News.
Under the act, “cyberbullying” is defined as: “Any electronic communication through the use of technology including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, computers, other electronic devices, social networks, text messaging, instant messaging, websites and electronic mail, typically repeated or with continuing effect, that is intended or ought reasonably be expected to cause fear, intimidation, humiliation, distress or other damage or harm to another person’s health, emotional well-being, self-esteem or reputation, and included assisting or encouraging such communication in any way.”
“If you look at all the kind of stuff that’s happening right now with the election, anyone who tweets that [Liberal leader] Justin Trudeau isn’t ready, well that probably hurts Justin Trudeau’s feelings,” Fraser told VICE News. “It certainly harms his reputation. If you do that in Nova Scotia, you are the definition of a cyber bully, which just seems so completely absurd, and so completely off the charts.”
Although unlikely, Fraser said it’s possible a court could throw out the legislation if he decides the definition is too broad. If that happens, the province would rewind to the time before Parsons’ death, creating a legal void for victims of online abuse.
But Fraser isn’t asking the judge to throw the law out. He wants the definition amended. If that happens, he says Nova Scotians can still seek the act’s protection.
Related: Canada’s New Cyberbullying Bill Will Give It Unnecessary Surveillance Superpowers
One of Fraser’s colleagues in the privacy law field isn’t so sure about that.
Lawyer Wayne MacKay, who helped draft the Cyber-Safety Act, told VICE News the Charter challenge absolutely could declaw the act’s protections, leaving victims of online abuse high and dry.
“If you have too narrow a definition, all kinds of deserving cases are then not covered,” MacKay said over the phone. Instead, he said the legislation should be “tweaked” so that it focuses “on the really needy cases” it was always designed to serve.
“Until that happens, I’m hoping it will still be there,” he said.
He also pointed out that while the definition is broad, it’s a judge that decides if the conduct falls under the act.
When asked about the severity of this case, and the fact that the applicant is a businessman who could afford a lawyer, MacKay said Nova Scotia’s cyber safety system and the justice system in general should take into account factors such as whether they are a woman, a person of colour, or someone with a disability.
“The vulnerability of the victims and their access or lack of access to other remedies one would hope would be a factor in how quickly they could proceed through the cyber safety system,” he said.
Crouch’s lawyer Venoit told VICE News that while the harassment allegations in this case aren’t nearly as severe as those in Parsons’ case, anyone experiencing harassment should have protection under the law.
Meanwhile the province thinks the law is functioning just fine the way it is.
In court submissions, the NS Attorney General said the Cyber-Safety Act protects the victim’s right to free expression, but said communications that qualify as “cyberbullying” under the act “are, due to their malicious and hurtful nature, low-value speech which do not accord with the values sought to be protected under the freedom of expression right within [the Charter].”
In his affidavit, Nova Scotia’s director of public safety Roger Merrick says since the Cyber-Safety Act came into being in August 2013, the unit created to deal with online abuse, CyberScan, has received 513 complaints of “cyberbullying.” Of those, 307 were complaints from adults.
The case continued in court Thursday. Fraser said it could be weeks or months before the judge makes a decision on whether the definition infringes on his client’s free speech.

text: My whole family loves these muffins. I originally found this recipe in a weight watchers magazine from the mid-nineties. I saved it, although over the years I've tweaked it and it is no longer a low cal/low fat muffin. I think the original recipe used margarine, skim milk and 3 egg whites, not 100% positive though as I've been making them with butter, 2% milk and whole eggs for many years now. I've also figured out over the years that in a pinch, you can substitute oat meal for the wheat germ and just call them "banana oat meal muffins." It's just as good as the wheat germ. Enjoy!

According to this event page, Blink-182's shows on May 10 and 11 at the Winstar Casino in Thackerville, OK have been postponed until Sep. 14. The band has not released a statement about the postponed shows and we haven't heard anything about any of the northeast dates or Bamboozle being affected. Drummer Travis Barker underwent surgery on May 2 to remove his tonsils and according to this tweet, he had a different surgery on April 27. No word if those surgeries have anything to do with this postponement or not. Blink's upcoming tour dates are in the replies.
The following was posted on the Mightier Than Sword facebook page, under the comments for the picture of the TOYPAJ vinyl inner sleeves. It's from someone claiming to have worked on the artwork for this release -- and I guess sort of explains what happened?
In a recent interview, Tom DeLonge stated that, "After this year, my schedule is going to be a lot easier." This led the publication to state that they thought Tom was hinting at the "end of the Blink 182 reunion." Without seeing the quote in context, which is not provided, I'm not really sure how they came to this conclusion. Seems like how most album cycles come and go: The band released an album, toured, did press - it was crazy busy. Now the tour and press will wind down, they will focus on other projects for a while -- and then I'd assume they would gear up for another Blink 182 project/album in another year or so. Always thought that was going to be what happened. Or ......
It looks like there was some leftover Blink-182TOYPAJ vinyl from Mightier Than Sword, and it looks like the label has given it to Shop Radio Cast to sell. Supplies are very limited as it was mostly sold out already, but every variant, included the super-limited 180-gram black, is in stock right now.

A GIANT flying reptile that dominated the sky 170 million years ago has been unearthed on the Isle of Skye.
The terrifying beast, which had rows of “self-sharpening” teeth and an 8ft wingspan, is the biggest Jurassic pterosaur ever found.
Its fossil was spotted on a remote beach by Amelia Penny, a student at the University of Edinburgh.
A team then faced a frantic race against time to dig it up before the tide washed it away. The new species has been given the Gaelic name Dearc sgiathanach, which translates as “winged reptile”.
Professor Steve Brusatte, from the university’s school of geosciences, called it “pristine and immaculately preserved” and said seeing a flock of them “would have been like something from an Alfred Hitchcock horror movie”.
He said: “They would have been a spine-chilling sight, swooping down to catch and eat prey.
“It had big, sharp teeth that formed a kind of cage when it closed its jaw – perfect for trapping fish.
“I don’t like being at the seashore when there are seagulls swarming around and they are tiny compared to this thing. A flock of them would have been like something from an Alfred Hitchcock horror movie.
“This is one of the most beautiful, pristine and immaculately preserved pterosaur skeletons found anywhere in the world.
“It is a new species which shows that flying reptiles from the Jurassic era grew much larger than previously thought.”
PhD student Natalia Jagielska said the beast had 24 teeth it would shed and re-grow to keep razor-sharp.
Natalia, 25, of Bolton, said: “This is probably the best British skeleton found since the days of Mary Anning in the early 1800s.
“Dearc is the biggest pterosaur we know from the Jurassic period. It tells us that pterosaurs got larger much earlier than we thought, long before the Cretaceous period when they were competing with birds, and that’s hugely significant.”
The fossil was unveiled yesterday at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
But Prof Brusatte, author of best-selling The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, said his team were faced with an “absolutely manic” race to extract the bones before the tide came in.
He said: “Pterosaur bones are incredibly fragile because they are full of air sacs. Some of the bone walls are as thin as a sheet of paper.
“We feared the rising tide would destroy a lot of the bones we had exposed before we had time to get them out. It was absolutely manic.”
The situation was worsened when the researchers were accosted by a well-meaning elderly English couple holidaying on Skye.
Prof Brusatte said: “They thought we were illegally trying to poach these fossils and tried to make a citizen’s arrest.
“As the water was lapping up around our feet, we had to try and convince them we were legitimate and urgently needed to continue working. It was comical and ridiculous.
“It’s the most stressed I’ve ever been during any fieldwork.”
