There are two main sources of errors: cosmic ray soft-error rate (SER)
and radioactive SER. Cosmic rays have enough energy to penetrate the
DRAM packaging and flip a bit. "They are so energetic that they can
penetrate our atmosphere (equivalent to 13 feet of concrete), and then
penetrate through the ceiling into a multistory building." say Ziegler
et al. Trace amounts of radioactive isotopes trapped inside DRAM
packaging can also create errors. See Ziegler et al., "IBM experiments
in soft fails in computer electronics (1978-1994)" at
This IBM report says the following regarding the altitude effect:
"T. O'Gorman began the first field test of the cosmic ray SER of chips.
[...] His results showed a distinct altitude-dependent SER, with a SER
increase of more than 10x going from sea level to two miles up (Figure
The good news is that memory reliability has improved a lot. Cosmic ray
soft error sensitivity per bit decreased 2000-fold between 1983 and 1992
(see the IBM report). IBM's model predicted cosmic ray soft-error
sensitivity of about 20-30 (fails per (year?) per chip) for 16 Mb chips
made in 1991 (see fig. 12).

Fifty percent of voters believe it is “likely” Vice President Kamala Harris will become the president before President Joe Biden ends his four-year term, a McLaughlin & Associates poll released Friday showed.
The poll asked respondents, “Joe Biden was 78 years old when he was sworn in and will be 82 at the end of his term. How likely is it that Vice-President Kamala Harris will be president before the end of Joe Biden’s 4-Year term?”
In contrast to 40% who believed it was doubtful, 50% said those chances are likely. 10% opted not to respond.
In addition, the poll showed that Harris would receive only 5% of the vote if the 2024 election were held today. She came fourth overall in the poll, while Biden received 23% of the vote. That percentage rose to 13% if Biden did not seek reelection, but she would still be behind Michelle Obama by 6 points, as per reported by BREITBART.
Respondents were also asked if Biden ought to take a cognitive test in the poll. Voters were split 48 percent to 30 percent on whether or not Biden should take and make the results of a cognitive health test public. 18% of the respondents declined to respond.
Voters’ doubts about Biden’s health are related to the president’s revelation to the press that he gets directions on notecards on how to conduct himself as commander in chief.
“YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to the participants,” a note card instructed Biden on Thursday. “YOU take YOUR seat.”
A Harris poll conducted in April found that the majority of respondents thought Biden lacked the mental capacity to serve as president. He is too elderly to be president, according to 62% of voters. 53 percent of those polled admitted to having “doubts” about their mental capacity.
From June 17 to 22, 1,000 voters were included in the McLaughlin poll. There was no error bar provided.

revised its strategic planning framework and adopted Directions
established Development Assessment Panels to replace local
authority and Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC)
decision-making on substantial developments ;
inserted a mechanism in the Planning and Development Act 2005
to keep local planning schemes up to date with State Planning
amended section 76 of the Planning and Development Act to
clarify that the Minister is able to direct a local government to
amend its local planning scheme.
Phase Two of the planning reforms
Following a process of consultation with key stakeholders and a
public submission period, the Department released its
blueprint for phase two, which includes 14 initiatives. The
more significant reforms include:
Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS)
The MRS will be amended (in line with the Peel Region Scheme and
Greater Bunbury Region Scheme) to drop the requirement for WAPC
approval of development unless the WAPC has first declared that its
approval is required.
Concurrent amendment of region planning schemes and
local planning schemes
Legislative change will allow simultaneous amendments to both
region and local planning schemes.
Streamline structure plan
The WAPC will become the single decision-maker on structure
plans. Structure plans will still be lodged with local government
but the local government will only make a recommendation to the
WAPC. This proposal will also clarify rights of review as there
will only be one appealable structure plan decision.
Develop a track-based (risk assessment) development
Phase two reform will formalise a three-track system for all
types of planning applications. Applications will be allocated as
"exempt", "standard" or "complex" and
these allocations will determine the level of assessment
A faster planning process
According to Planning Minister John Day, these reforms (if
implemented) have the potential to considerably speed up
development approvals and streamline the planning system.
We'll keep you informed of any developments.

Slayer, Marilyn Manson + More to Play New Festival Chaos AB!
A new rock and metal festival is coming to North America in Alberta, Canada this summer called Chaos AB! Hosted by Live Nation Canada, Slayer, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and Disturbed will be headlining the event that will take place July 26 and 27.
Other acts set to perform are GWAR, Headstones, Royal Tusk and more to be announced. Tickets go on sale this Friday (April 5) and can be purchased here. See the full lineup so far in the poster below.
This festival will be Slayer's final performance in Alberta as part of their final world tour which kicks back up May 2 in Phoenix, Ariz. with support from Lamb of God, Amon Amarth and Cannibal Corpse. It was also just recently revealed by Les Claypool that Primus will open for Slayer on the final leg of the tour.
Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie recently announced another "Twins of Evil" co-headlining tour beginning July 9 in Baltimore, Md. and will end Aug. 18 in Gilford, N.H.
Disturbed just wrapped up a tour in support of their 2018 release Evolution with Three Days Grace. Coincidentally, Disturbed just broke Three Days Grace's record for most consecutive No. 1 songs on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart a few days ago with their latest single "A Reason to Fight."

Over lunch, I & Claude Moraes, hosted a meeting of the “Labour Friends of the Open Rights Group”. Claude spoke of the European Parliament’s response to the Snowden leaks and its defence of citizens ECHR Article 8 privacy rights. He also signposted the coming Digital Habeas Corpus which being that it’s European legislation will take some time. There was a keenness to take the policies of the ORG into the Labour Party. The countdown to the general election and the Party’s adoption of its Programme in September means that the opportunity for short term changes in the policy are limited however @LabourDigital which is a de-facto caucus is campaigning around its manifesto and the Shadow cabinet policy review is due to be launched on 25th November. We agreed to keep in touch and to use the original google group, founded after #orgcon10 to do so.
Tag Archives: openrightsgroup
Off to the International Anthony Burgess Museum for the Don’t Spy on Us fringe meeting on Privacy. The speakers were Ewan Macaskill of the Guardian, Carley Nyst of Privacy International, Claude Moraes MEP, Jim Killock of the ORG and chaired by Mike Harris of #dontspyonus. The first speaker was Ewan Macaskill who started by saying he’s glad they i.e. the spooks are there, but like me in fact, supposed that they were targeting maybe 5-15% of the population which would be say 400,000 people. What is shocking is the ambition, to spy on everyone who uses the internet. The fact they’re aiming at everyone, including lawyers and doctors is worrying to say the least.
While the secrecy, harmonisation and the inclusion of investor state dispute resolution are bad enough aspects of TTIP, it seems this is another ‘Living Agreement’. Not only will the courts that interpret these agreements be beyond public accountability, any amendments to the treaty and agreements will be so too. I found this out at the meeting called by the Open Rights Group where Nick Dearden of the World Development Movement came to speak.
At Don’t Spy on Us’ Day of Action, I attended the seminar/panel “Changing the Law to uphold our privacy”. Amongst the speakers were Ross Anderson, Claude Moraes and Mark Stephens. Ross Anderson works at the University of Cambridge, where he is Professor of Security Engineering. He blogs at “Light Blue Touchpaper”. To me the most memorable contribution, was from Anderson, where he shared his views developed while researching and writing his paper, “Privacy versus government surveillance: where network effects meet public choice”.
An internet safe for kids, plebs and Tories
The phone companies’ Tory inspired “safe content” filters are coming online. While the road to and strong arming of the ISPs into voluntary agreement was well covered over the summer, although not be me, it seemed the Surveillance stories were more important, the New Statesman in an article published last week by Martin Robbins, entitled “Cameron’s internet filter goes far beyond porn – and that was always the plan” shows the bleeding obvious that it’s not possible to build “safe” filters for other people. The article has provoked some noise on twitter since these privately implemented filters are a non-accountable overreach, there is no appeal, no democratic oversight and they are implemented using crude ineffective technology which reinforces such overreach. Taken in conjunction with the Gagging Bill, also known as the Transparency of Lobbying, Non-party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill currently going through Parliament, this should be seen as an attack on our democratic systems in that it will deprive citizens of the information and evidence that they need to vote.
The short answer is, I suppose, it depends on which courts you sue in. (This article at Torrent Freak shows what happened when the Pirate Bay claimed Free Speech rights; both the Swedish courts and the ECtHR ruled against them. If watching the Good Wife, you’ll believe that free speech is a recognised defence for copyright infringement and monopolistic behaviour), however techdirt.com probably has a more accurate and less optimistic view as to the power of the First Amendment in the USA.
The next session, called “Naked Citizens! The Data Protection Regulation and why you should care about it”.
The speakers were Anna Fielder from Privacy International, David Smith, the Deputy Information Commissioner and Kasey Chappele, a Lawyer from Vodafone. Fortunately for Kasey, no-one asked about about Vodafone’s Tax Affairs. She went through some of Vodafone’s route to where they are today, and they are quite proud of where they’ve got to. Critically, she argued that while Privacy is seen as a compliance issue, it won’t improve, it’s only when companies start to compete on Privacy that managers will treat Privacy as more than a burden.
I got there late, but in time to hear the end of Tim Wu’s opening key note. His comments about the failure to build a peer-to-peer internet stimulated an interest. His book, “The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires” examines the evolution of information networks from radio through TV and Cable to the Internet, so I have ordered it. It’ll be interesting to compare, contrast and possibly integrate his ideas with those of Benkler and Perez. While researching for the article that eventually became Municipal WiFi, now over 1½ years old, I was interested in the funding and technology problems faced by public sector organisations. Some hackers have considered making wireless access gateways peer-to-peer, particularly in France while the Hadoopi laws were being debated and passed, but we are still running an internet of hubs and spokes, in the words of the Register, modeled on the command and control systems used in the Soviet Union.
And I’m off to ORGCON 2013. See you there


The North Block is current receiving around 50,000 litres of water daily instead of its requirement of 1.5 lakh litres resulting in most of the toilets, water coolers going dry most of the time.
While the stench from the toilets makes it difficult to move in the corridors, at times even drinking water is scarce, heightening the misery of employees who are sweating it out in the summer with temperature hovering around 43-45 degree Celsius these days.
Packaged water is the only source of drinking water for many of the officials.
Home Ministry spokesperson Ira Joshi denied that there was crisis of drinking water but said efforts were on to resolve the scarcity in toilets and other places.
"We are working on it," she said.
Apart from the Ministries of Home and Finance, North Block also houses the Ministry of Personnel and large establishments of the Intelligence Bureau and Income Tax Department.
Home Minister P Chidambaram, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Minister of State for Personnel V Narayanswami, two Ministers of State for Home, two Ministers of State for Finance and a host of top bureaucrats sit here. (More)

Journey Foods is on a mission to transform our food system, one product at a time. Its database of over 17B data points on millions of food products and ingredients is helping companies optimize the complete lifecycle of products, from ideation to market.
Lynn notes direct links between the ways we now grow, produce and consume food — particularly, the many new types of foods we weren’t eating 100 years ago — and major drivers of climate change, diabetes and mental health issues (among other problems). She says those factors, rather than addressing the ongoing issues with global supply chains (a secondary benefit of the platform), were the impetus for creating an actionable database for helping the biggest names in food make impactful decisions about food products.
“The focus on actionability was around the fact that you won’t get a $3 trillion industry to turn over if you don't make it easy,” she says. “The focus is on the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of these products. Supply chain and cost is the next step.”
The nuts and bolts
With big data powering so many other aspects of modern life, it makes sense that there’s a major opportunity in food, ripe for the picking. Lynn says that since its launch, Journey Foods has scanned more than two million food products, recipes and ingredients — totaling more than 17 billion data points. For companies using the platform, each data point informs a path to streamlining product development.
The platform combines AI, machine learning and its ever-growing data pool to not only solve food science and supply chain inefficiencies, but also inform new ways for food companies to make their products more cost-efficient and planet-positive from start to finish — often saving the customer many months and trials in the process.
Empowering the food workers of the future
Journey Foods’ JourneyLabs initiative is giving students across the country opportunities to not only work with food data but find their niche within the field — which ideally will lead to the necessary jobs of tomorrow.
Lynn notes that building a diverse and driven workforce is key to the success and sustainability of the next frontier of food; and programs such as JourneyLabs put those opportunities front and center. For example, the partnership with Columbia will lead to the production of new 3D-printed food products. JourneyLabs will also offer early-stage companies and founders’ access to critical data tools to help them grow.

The Best Swamp Tours New Orleans
Louisiana Swamp Tours
This trip was the very first one I ever before took place. We invested a little bit even more time that I would certainly've searched us out on a larger lake compared to the cuter canals, as well as the watercraft was a week as well huge for my taste. I could not also listen to the captain (that might have simply been his thick Cajun accent though ... Which I loved).
McGees Landing Tours
McGees Landing Tours are suggested by Fodor's, "Traveling as well as Recreation "publication and also" Southern Living Publication." The business has actually offered overload excursions at the Atchafalaya Container for greater than Ten Years. The river overload is discovered in its little trip watercrafts, which take visitors with moss-covered locations and also open places, where you might observe indigenous plants and also wild animals as the trip proceeds. Alligators, serpents as well as turtles are amongst the lots of kinds of pets that easily make their house along the overload. Adjustable scenic tours are readily available, from evening scenic tours to experience trips.

Cajun Nation Swamp Tours
Cajun Nation Swamp Tours are amongst just 2 overload scenic tour business advised by Fodor's in both its web site as well as 2010 scenic tour publication. Fodor's advises this scenic tour and also its overview, Walter "Butch" Guchereau, appreciating exactly how "his ecotours utilize Cajun crawfish skiffs to be ecologically inconspicuous." The crawfish skiff watercraft securely blends visitors over the New Orleans overload, disclosing the all-natural charm of the city that isn't really as usually viewed as the French Quarter. The tourist guide gladly mentions the myriad wild animals on the overload that you might see, consisting of birds, alligators, turtles, raccoons and also black bears.

Dr. Wagner's Honey Island Swamp Tours
Considering that 1982, Dr. Wagner's Honey Island Swamp Tours have actually supplied 2-hour overload journeys to New Orleans visitors. It's suggested by Frommer's, with its web site specifying, "The tourist guide supply a strong instructional experience to select the purer overload enjoyment." Both exposed and also protected overload excursion watercrafts are made use of; if you have a choice, validate the kind when making your appointment. As soon as you get on Honey Island Swamp, the tourist guide affably describes the Louisiana overload background as well as all-natural ecology, while he explains wild animals discoveries and also digital photography sights. 2 excursions are used daily all throughout the year.

Blockchain company Bitfury has been tweaking, and they modded an already internet enabled coffee machine to accept bitcoin through the Lightning network. A Raspberry Pi computer and an unique circuit board, designed by the LightningPeach team within Bitfury, is all what is needed to pay 15,800 satoshis for a coffee. The coffee machine is not connected to the regular Bitcoin network, but to the Lightning Network which will reduce fees, crypto news website Coindesk wrote.
“With a small computer and a chip, which is assembled by us or is easy to reproduce … it is much easier to pay with cryptocurrencies than with credit cards, because you don’t need your credit cards at all, you just need your mobile device,” spokesperson Vasyl Grygorovych said in a statement.
It should be relatively easy to install the chip in every internet-enabled device. Users will then be able to scan a QR code on the machine, and pay using their phone.
There are no plans yet to make the product public. So for now there’s only bitcoin coffee in the office of Bitfury. But the idea was to see if the concept of such a modification to existing hardware was feasible, which it seems to be.

I read Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa last year and loved the anime vibes it had (review here), and I've been waiting to continue this story ever since. So big thank you to Netgalley for the copy of Soul of the Sword.
**Potential spoilers ahead**
|Pub Date: 6-25-19 by|
Harlequin Teen/Inkyard Press
Young Adult - Fantasy
While Yumeko and her band of merry misfits--including a noble samurai, a ronin, and a shrine maiden-- rush to deliver the scroll to the temple, Hakaimono joins forces with the Master of Demons in order to break the curse on the sword and finally set himself free for good. To do so, the pair must retrieve the Scroll first. As Yumeko and the possessed Tatsumi paths continue to cross, Yumeko vows to save Tatsumi's soul and banish Hakaimono before their land is plunged into darkness forever.
I really enjoy this whole story. The characters mesh and work so well together. The relationship between the group is by far my favorite thing, especially Okame and Daisuke, their banter is everything. I also really liked how you got to see a little bit more of Tatsumi's background and upbringing in the Shadow Clan. You really understand how he became the person he is and the true weight of the burden he carries. All the Japanese folklore influence is again very interesting. My only issue with this one was the same as the first, the pacing just seemed a little off. It took a bit of time before it really hit its stride, but once it did, I was fully hooked into the story. I can't wait to continue the journey and see where else the story goes from here.

Mobile Fix — May 3
Like everyone else we went to see Avengers last weekend. The biggest opening ever and the fastest to make $1bn — 5 days. I think the Disney acquisition of Marvel will go down as one of the best deals ever.
And it is central to much of newTV. Disney has the best content roster and is going to give Netflix a real run for its money. It throws off cash from other distribution — like cinema openings — when Netflix is having to sell junk bonds to raise money.
This research suggests there will be quite of a lot of trial but few think they will definitely switch But no-one really knows how to compare them, yet. By launch it seems likely that Disney will own most if not all of Hulu — who just announced a series of Marvel TV shows. How these services get bundled will be key.
There is lots going on at a smaller scale too — 3 year old OTT news brand Cheddar is being bought for $200m. Walmart is making movies in an attempt to revitalise Vudu the streaming service they bought in 2010. Remember Tesco used to fund movies so they had exclusive to sell. With huge customer reach (selling half of all TVs in the US) Walmart has muscle in this game; again how they bundle their service with other will be critical.
In a world of AppTV there will not be one winner, but smart bundles and models like NowTV (where i can pay for the bits of content i want) can do well. But will Apple and Amazon be the gatekeepers by selling the bundles?
Smart moves in advertising too — because people are not to go to subscribe to all this content. Hulu are testing Binge Advertising along with Pause ads — new formats that fit with the way the viewer is using the content. The much anticipated mobile streaming service from industry legend Jeffrey Katzenberg is pitching to advertisers too — with two subscription levels; one with ads and one without. We’ll see much more of that.
For GAFA balancing privacy with the ways they harness data to drive their business is a key challenge and the moves by Apple are getting a reaction. But Facebook has always flexed and changed as it grew and this long piece looks at they recovered from early missteps in mobile. And how they are preparing for AR and the next phase
Dealing with the bad actors is another enormous challenge and this New Yorker piece on the Facebook team that dealt with the Christchurch shooting shows just how hard it.
Taking political ads is a challenge too and in Australia the Guardian is scrutinising political ads and finding the authorisation system isn’t working that well. And in the US the ads for the 2020 election have already started. I cannot see any upside in running political ads and I think we all know the downsides
More Q1 Results and more evidence that things are still in flux. Google met earning expectations but their growth was down year on year — ad sales grew at lowest rate since 2015 — and that has thrown the market. The reasons given — currency and some product changes — haven’t convinced analysts and numerous theories are being shared. Now, bad news is relative — they made over $30bn this quarter versus just under $27bn a year ago. $3bn extra in revenue isn’t bad. And it does seem that the combination of good new products last year boosted that quarter.
Apple shares went up, as their results were not as bad as expected. Even though iPhone sales were down 17%. Services revenue keeps growing and they are more confident about China.
European adtech firm Criteo had fairly flat results and they seem to be the canary in the privacy colamine. With a business that was until recently very focused on cookie based retargeting, can they reinvent their business model? They managed to weather GDPR but the Apple changes and the expectations over Google following suit have analysts pessimistic. The company claim to working hand in hand withGoogle — so worth watching.
Another Q1 story this week was Shopify — with revenue up by almost 50% year on year. And as more and more brands expand into the real world with stores, new products from Shopify let them run the same system on and off line.
The old story about selling picks and shovels to hopeful gold minders applies here as Shopify is essentially a tax on DTC brands. A smart VC friend of Fix makes the case for Shopify and others as a clever way to invest in the growth of DTC. There have been so few big exits for DTC — other than Dollar Shave — some wonder why the sector isn’t seeing more big win?
Whilst all the tools needed to launch a DYC brand are available off the shelf, the creativity is not. Creativity in product, user experience and customer acquisition remains the difference between the winners and the also rans.
We look for signs of this creativity. Ideas like the Dote live shopping parties are promising and the customer experience tactics being tried in selling diamonds are interesting too. As more and more brands max out on social, the move to TV is accelerating but the best brains are looking for ways to do this that keep the best of digital and add the potential scale. Rather than just adopting the old model the challenge is how do you measure the impact and contribution.
When we talk about DTC we always major on Drops and DePop — how young people are changing shopping; both in the way they buy but also in the secondary market where its common to be selling some clothes to fund some new ones.
Smart DTC brands are learning what smart retailers have known for a while. It’s not about online version offline — it’s about blending the best of both worlds. A new study in the US tells us that Gen Z like shopping malls. But the most interesting part of the story is how retailers are using mobile to drive traffic instore.
Some innovation though, feels like it risks missing the mark. Sainsbury are testing their latest version of till free shopping. Customers walk around the store collecting the things they want and scanning them on a Sainsbury app. Then they scan a code with Apple or Google Pay and off they go. A similar trial took place a few years ago in Sainsbury Farringdon, with the difference that you ‘weighed’ your basket as a rough check you just had the items scanned.
Do I want the role of checkout operator outsourcing to me? The supermarket get the benefit of needing less staff but what’s really in it for the customer? The great increase in carrot sales as a way to nick avocados shows the problems with these innovations.
As I mentioned last week we are seeing brands using messenger based services to put people back into customer service. I come back to this at the end of todays Fix.
Spotify now has 100m paid customers — double the latest Apple number ( no new figures released by Apple in their results). Revenue is up 33% year on year. But as we talked about last week the new free services from Amazon and Google will keep the pressure on Spotify. And if Apple find a way to bundle their music with their TV and News — and even the devices — that could hit Spotify hard.
Spotify has the best product in terms of customer service but, given the content is essentially the same for all the players, is that enough? They have the best distribution too. Whilst the competition is more likely to be on just their devices (Apple on iPhones, Amazon on Alexa and Google on Android and Home) Spotify is everywhere,
Their moves to own IP in podcasts is really smart but in music the Tidal exclusives seem to be coming to an end. Beyonce released Lemonade only on Tidal 3 years ago but her latest album is available everywhere. And a couple of days ago — exactly 3 years after premiering on Tidal — she made Lemonade available anywhere and the 3 year old album has already charted. Bear in mind Tidal is ran by Mr Carter — JayZ — so music exclusives look to be over as a means of driving subscriptions.
The latest figures for smart speaker sales put them at 200m by the end of this year. So Spotify just need to keep working on that distribution. And keep pushing back on Apple using the app store manipulate the market.
Coder finds the secrets of the big App firms — first to spot Facebook dating for example.
Amazon launch in the Middle East by rebranding Souq — they bought it in 2017 for $580m
Dating apps in China are experimenting with live streamed matchmaking. How long before it gets copied over here?
And still on China the suspicion over Chinese and Saudi money in Tech is becoming a big issue. Will this slow down BAT ( and Bytedance) as they expand into the West?
Finally.. Building on my point about business outsourcing jobs to their users; we now do what bank clerks, travel agents etc and it’s fine because these apps make our life easier.
But one coming tech trend I struggle with is autonomous cars. What’s the customer benefit?
I can see why Uber and logistics firms like the idea — less people needed and more profit. And I totally get the logic of no longer owning a car; living in Victoria Park we have finally gone car less and now rely on DriveNow, Zipcar and Uber. And walking and cycling.
But does removing the driver from these services have any real benefit? Other than maybe allowing Uber to make a profit? A FT article looks into the economics of autonomous cars and finds them questionable.
Fix is my thinking rather than that of MediaKitchen. We now have over 6000 subscribers across Google, Facebook, Snap, Amazon etc as well as many VCs, Brands and Agencies

A new passband flattening technique for waveguide grating devices is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. It uses phase dithering of grating elements to obtain a flat passband with sharp transitions while maintaining single-mode input and output waveguides. The chromatic dispersion characteristics of the device can be improved simultaneously over the passband. The theory and design method based on an iterative Fourier transform algorithm are presented in detail with simulation and experimental results. The technique can be used in both arrayed waveguide grating and echelle grating-based devices.

MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid top scorer Diego Costa has strained and not torn a thigh muscle, the La Liga club said on Wednesday, suggesting the Brazil-born forward will not be sidelined for as long as feared.
Costa was forced off after 30 minutes of Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final, first leg at Barcelona, which ended 1-1, when he pulled up clutching the back of his leg.
Atletico said on their Twitter feed tests had revealed a muscle strain instead of a tear. The club did not specify how long he might be out of action but local media suggested he might be available for the return leg at the Calderon next Wednesday.
Atletico said on their website (www.clubatleticodemadrid.com) later on Wednesday separate tests had shown their Turkey playmaker Arda Turan had a groin injury that required "physiotherapy and recuperation". They did not say how long he might be out.
Costa had scored seven goals in five appearances in this season's Champions League before Tuesday and has 25 in 30 La Liga outings.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone told a news conference after the match at the Nou Camp that Raul Garcia, David Villa or Adrian were ready to stand in for the Spain international.

With just 36 days to go before the start of the new season the EFL issued the following statement on Friday afternoon:
"At its meeting earlier this week the EFL Board was asked to consider Owners' and Directors' Test (OADT) applications lodged by Charlton Athletic in respect of a number of different individuals.
Following a full and comprehensive appraisal of all the relevant matters the Board determined that three individuals were subject to a Disqualifying Condition and the EFL declined to approve their applications.
Those individuals have 14 days to appeal the decision. The EFL continues to consider applications from other individuals under the OADT"
It is our understanding that previous applications under the OADT had been approved so we believe that two of the individuals must be Paul Elliott and Chris Farnell.
Unless the pair lodge successful appeals the outcome of this will be that the sale of ESI from Tahnoon Nimer to Paul Elliott is void, and ownership of ESI and CAFC remains with Tahnoon Nimer.
The key to Charlton's future continues to reside in Belgium as, although we believe Nimer would be keen to find someone to take the club off his hands, reputable buyers such as Andrew Barclay / Peter Varney are unlikely to entertain entering into a deal for the club without the property freeholds for which Duchatelet is still expecting an unrealistic price.
Last Friday evening (July 31st) a group of supporters got together at The Elephant & Castle pub in Woolwich to discuss the state of the club. The organisers of the meeting were keen to stress that they were not setting up another fans group. On the contrary, they urged fan unity. One outcome of this meeting was the setting up of an email address for fans who wished to register their interest:
On Saturday afternoon Matt Pennycook, the MP for Charlton's constituency tweeted:
"I have never been so concerned about the future of @CAFCofficial. ESI have had months to supply the information required. The time for discussions, however "constructive", has passed. The @EFL needs to promptly determine ESI’s application for approval #cafc"
Chris Farnell issued a statement this week through the PR agency Onside PR defending himself against "abuse" from Charlton supporters.
Late news: We understand that the club is no longer under a "soft" transfer embargo whereby it can sign new players as long as it remains under a capped level of salary expenditure. The club is no longer permitted to make new signings. We will pursue further details on this.

well, i enjoy music. alot. i'm a big fan of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, The Greenhornes, Blanche, Children of Bodom, Disturbed, Seventh Void, Black Sabbath, Type O Negative and many other groups too numerous to mention. Currently i'm enrolled in college seeking a bachelor's degree in communications or something similar to that.
It seems that I forgot to mention that I also play guitar as well. I've been doing that since about 2001. While not necessarily good at it, I still find great enjoyment in it.

Most service workers rely on the kindness of patrons, there are times when tipping can insult.
Tipping that counts
Some people consider tipping to be a form of etiquette, but most workers in the service industry depend on the kindness of strangers to make ends meet. I had never thought about the merits of tipping until I heard Rahmat Allah Mir's story. Mr Mir, 55, a taxi driver from Peshawar in north-east Pakistan, has been driving a cab in Abu Dhabi for 15 years. During our ride we chatted about the financial difficulties he faced. He recalled the day he received a telephone call from his wife while out on his rounds.
"My wife told me that our youngest child was very ill and needed to have her appendix removed," he said. He had barely managed to save because his living expenses almost always matched his salary, and any money left over he sent back home to his family. Now his daughter needed immediate medical attention and his situation was dire. He said he went out on another shift later that night hoping for a miracle. "I picked up an American passenger who wanted to go to the airport. Little did I know that God had sent him to give me a Dh150 (US$40) tip, which really made a difference with the hospital bill," he said.
At the end of our conversation, Mr Mir told me: "We really do depend on the tips from our passengers. It's our children's bread and butter. Without tips here, I would rather move back to Peshawar." Saleh al Harbi, a retired Emirati, says he understands the importance of tipping. "I always give a generous tip to waiters, cab drivers and anyone who helps me out," he said. "I know that people working in the service and hospitality fields don't get paid very well and need my tip."
Tips are typically calculated as a percentage of the cost of a transaction before taxes and may vary among different cultures and service industries. In the case of taxi drivers here, it is straightforward. Drivers expect passengers to pay a minimum tip of rounding up the fare to the next highest dirham. For example, if the fare is Dh5.25 the driver would expect to be given Dh6. "But usually what happens is that a passenger will give us one to three dirhams extra on the fare inside Abu Dhabi, and if I drive to Dubai I would expect to get at least 10 per cent of the total fare," said Kaber Mangaliappali, who also drives a cab in the capital.
Yet some people believe tipping is unnecessary. "I don't tip cab drivers because they have a fixed rate which customers are expected to pay, and why should I pay them more for doing their job?" said Zelda, a resident working in the telecommunications field who chose to withhold her last name. However, it seems that most passengers believe taxi drivers are lowly paid and have no qualms about handing over a few extra dirhams.
When it comes to tipping in hotel restaurants and bars, however, confusion is often the byword. Fine print at the bottom of menus or bills in Abu Dhabi states that charges amounting to 16 per cent are added to all transactions, including the cost of a room. Some people believe that a portion of this tax goes to the workers. "This 16 per cent charge does not include tips," said Alka Patel, the public relations manager at the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai. "Ten per cent goes to the hotel as a service charge, while the remaining six per cent is a government tax."
Hotels are considered part of the tourist industry and taxes paid to the Government are taken from this service charge. "Giving a tip to the waiters, bellboys or housekeeping staff is left to the discretion of the guest," said Elena Chentsova, the revenue manager at the Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi. "We don't offer guests any guidelines whether to tip or not; if they want to they may, but if not that's acceptable also."
In many cases, tipping can result in better service. "Tips do motivate me to work harder," said a waiter at a Costa Coffee shop in Abu Dhabi. "In order for things to be fair at the end of each day we divide the total tips among all the staff in the shop equally, which works out to be about Dh150" per person, he said. Whether you tip as a sign of appreciation or in an attempt to get better service from the waiter or housekeeper, remember that many people are actually counting on your kindness.
? At the airport, tip the porter about Dh5 per bag, and more if your luggage is particularly heavy. ? When you valet park, give the attendant Dh10 to Dh20 as you leave. ? Food deliverymen expect about Dh5 to Dh10, depending on how big the order is. ? Tip housekeepers about Dh25 every time they clean your house. ? Hairdressers expect between Dh10 to Dh20. If your trip to the salon includes a cut and blow dry, leave Dh20, and perhaps more depending on the quality of service. ? In restaurants, always make sure you leave at least a 10 per cent tip. If the service is exceptionally good, you can tip as much as 20 per cent - or more if you're feeling generous.
? If you deal with government employees, be aware that tipping them is seen as a bribe, so don't reward the person who processes your driver licence. ? Never tip the owner of a restaurant, as they would consider it an insult. Save the gratuity for the servers. email@example.com

I ate a healthy and proper sized meal Really proud of myself
I have always struggled with disordered eating including binge eating, starving myself, etc. In the 2 years, I would still eat but little enough that I was losing a lot of weight, which was good for my overall health, but bad for habits. Plus, most of what I was eating was still junk food, just much lower quantities than before.
Yesterday I started a new job and I was proud of myself, and just on a whim decided to buy meal prep stuff. I made everything late last night, got home from work today and had a healthy meal. I ate enough to be full so I really don't want to snack, but not so much I got sick.
I don't know how much this made but I just was really proud of it.
u/uwuwuwuwupotato Feb 03 '23
Yooo I m so happy literally I hope you slay like this
u/VeryValiantVictor Feb 03 '23
This is a huge step.
And as you eat more of these better meals, it will be progressively easier and more automatic to do.
u/posiesbythepocketful Feb 03 '23
It can so hard to make healthy food choices and you did it! Keep going! Congrats on the new job, lean into the momentum. I’m really proud of you!

There's been a angry response from Plaid Cymru's trade union section, Undeb, to remarks made by the Welsh Secretary of Unite during a Sharp End report on the Wales TUC conference. The comments by Andy Richards seemed to shed some light on why the Labour party felt able to describe as 'vicious', Plaid Cymru's call for a united front against public spending cuts.
The secretary of Plaid Cymru's trade union section, Undeb, claims that this accusation is offensive. Ian Titherington says Plaid encourages trade union members to pay into a general political fund but not to pay for their union to affiliate to the Labour party.
A Unite spokesperson stood by Andy Richards' criticism of Plaid Cymru, saying that whether political funding was spent on Labour party affiliation and how much was spent on other political purposes was a matter for the union's executive. He said the law did not distinguish between two kinds of political fund.

For some reason this is the hardest topic for me i dont know what to write , heres my essay so far im trying to add more to the second part, any corrections are greatly appreciated
Dear future roommate,
My name is Diana Castro and I look forward to meeting you this upcoming school year. A little about myself I am from Palm Springs, Ca. so I'm used to the much warmer sunny California weather but I am eager for a change of scenery. I would describe myself as a positive individual. I enjoy being happy, and try my best to keep it that way. I promise to make you laugh as much as I can and hope we can develop a strong friendship together. I love trying new things, meeting new people; I am someone that likes to go out and explore. We could spend a day wandering the city getting to know each other.
I also love hanging things on my walls: posters, stickers, cut-outs, anything. I expect our dorm walls to be white something I look forward to, so that we can fill them color as our college journey progresses.
Music is a big part of my life I listen to it constantly. Future warning I like to sing when I'm happy. My voice isn't the best but it won't make you go deaf either. For the past 10 years, my life has also been dedicated to the study of dance. Ballet is my favorite style of dance. One of my favorite memories was of me dancing around my house; I kicked up and hit my mom's brand new picture frame that hung on the wall. The glass shattered, I panicked and hoped my mom wouldn't notice but she did. She never believed what had actually happened. I hope we can be honest with each other and feel comfortable with each other to freely speak our minds no matter how unbelievable things may sound at times.

The Boston Bruins blew out the New Jersey Devils Thursday night as Marc McLaughlin scored his first NHL goal in his debut as part of the eigh-goal rout.
Just a minute in the Bruins got on the board with Matt Grzelcyk as his shot from the point trickled in, right before Josh Brown dropped the gloves in his NHL debut just three minutes into the action.
Jack Hughes put the Devils on the board with a game-tying goal from quite a weird angle, but Boston then took the lead that they ran away with. With four minutes left in the first Jake DeBrusk collected a rebound in front after crashing the net to make it 2-1.
The six-goal second period from Boston started early too, as two and a half minutes into the frame Erik Haula got on the board with a collected rebound out in front, which was followed by a Brad Marchand one-timer from the hash marks at 13:27. Patrice Bergeron tipped in a David Pastrnak clapper from the point and two minutes later Marchand potted another from the faceoff dot to make it a 6-1 lead.
McLaughlin got on the board with his first NHL goal with a 2-on-1 one-timer as he made it 7-1, which was Boston’s fourth goal in just five minutes. Haula then put the cherry on top as it was 8-1 after Haula’s goal which came at 3:48 in the second period.
McLaughlin and Brown both debuted and both had quite special nights.
Boston looks forward to their matchup Saturday night against the Blue Jackets, as they begin their rigid month of April.

The Director-General of the Police MTTD COP Aboagye Nyarko says personnel who will be found extorting money from errant motor riders arrested for road infractions will be dealt with accordingly.
His comments come on the back of concerns raised by some errant motor riders who were arrested under the Police Action Against Rider Indiscipline (PAARI) initiative that some MTTD personnel extort monies from them to avoid prosecution.
The operation PAARI has for the last 8 weeks arrested over 100 motor riders in Accra for flouting road regulations.
Addressing the press after issuing warning letters to errant motor riders, COP Aboagye Nyarko urged the citizens to report MTTD personnel found perpetuating illegality.
“This exercise is done to make sure road rules are obeyed. However, it is against the ethic to extort monies from culprits, we have told our men. The giver and receiver are both at fault. Anyone who is apprehended should make sure not to give monies to any policeman, instead, he should come to the police station and follow all the requirements.”
The Ghana Police Service’s Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) launched a special operation aimed at ensuring strict compliance with road traffic regulations by motorcyclists on April 8, 2022.
This operation is set to ensure that motor riders do not flout traffic regulations and save lives, as records have shown that, the majority of road accidents are caused by motorbikes.

Anthony Taylor had to make some big calls during Liverpool’s 2-1 win at West Ham and he arguably got the big ones wrong.
Taylor overruled the linesman despite Andy Carroll clearly fouling Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet.
He also gave a dubious penalty, believing West Ham keeper Adrian to have brought down Jon Flanagan.
Jokes & Memes flooded the social network, poking fun at the referee.

“How’s The Josh?” David Warner asks his DC teammates after their win over SRH.
In the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, left-handed batter David Warner saved his best effort for his previous side SunRisers Hyderabad. The 35-year-old hit 92 runs off just 58 balls to help Rishabh PantsWarner previously guided SunRisers Hyderabad to IPL victory in 2016, when he was the tournament’s second-highest scorer, trailing only then-RCB skipper Virat Kohli.
Warner was ousted as SRH captain midway through the 2021 season, and he then warmed the benches in the final four games. Before the 2022 season, the franchise did not keep the left-handed hitter.
Only on JioSaavn.com can you listen to the most recent tunes.
The Delhi Capitals batted first against SRH, scoring 207/3 in 20 overs thanks to 92 and 67 runs from Warner and Rovman Powell, respectively.
The Delhi Capitals won the game by 21 runs after Khaleel Ahmed returned with three wickets. Team record 207/3 in 20 overs, which was enough to win by 21 runs. This victory propelled the Delhi Capitals to fifth place in the standings. Warner was cheerful after the win and led the celebrations inside the locker room.
Warner can be seen leading the celebrations in a team huddle in a video provided by the Delhi Capitals on Twitter. The maverick hitter addressed his teammates using dialogue from the Bollywood film “URI: The Surgical Strike and he addressed his teammates, saying: “how’s the josh?”.

The Importance of Words
There is no truer saying then this one. Well aside from Pattabhi Jois’s words “Practice, practice, practice and all is coming”. The two phrases combined fully describe the sanskrit word sankalpa. Sankalpa comes from the root words of kalpa which means ‘a way of proceeding’ or ‘the rule to be observed above or before any other rule’ and san which means ‘a concept or idea formed in the heart’. Sankalpa therefore means determination or will, an intention or conviction, vow or resolution, one that reflects your highest aspirations. As Rod Stryker describes it in The Four Desires “It is a declarative statement in which you vow or commit yourself to fulfill a specific goal.”. This brings me to understand that thoughts - mainly spoken but also silent if done in a contemplative mode - that we express in form of desire, have immense power and hence we must pay very careful attention to what and how we express ourselves.
Achieving one’s dreams is not easy, be it the ideal work, the ideal relationship, the ideal home, the ideal life…it requires devotion, strong will power, faith, clarity and continuity. The practice of Ashtanga Yoga has taught me a few things about these five pillars of life. Sankalpa is devoting yourself to achieve a goal that has a higher purpose. It’s not a random desire or wish, it’s something that you desire because you know it will bring you closer to the ultimate truth or to your Dharma. When a goal is aligned with this the universe seems to work on your side, creating the opportunities for steps in the right direction to be made. This sounds cheesy and fairytale like but it is actually absolute truth. What fairytales don't explain is that in order for that to happen the receiver, aka you, must work really hard to be a receptive vessel. This is when having a spiritual practice becomes very important. It trains your mind to be clear, to go inwards when met with choice and struggle. It clears the webbings of the mind. Good things don’t necessarily come easy, living for the truth has the price of knowing when to say no, no matter what you end of loosing, because ultimately you have the awareness that what is on the other side will only be more fit for who you are in the grand plan.
Sharath, my teacher, is a man of very few words. When you visit in India he will sometimes speak a few sentences to you if you have known him over the years, or sometimes while assisting he will come over and say funny things if he sees you are not fully present or if he sees you work too hard, or if you make an appointment to say goodbye he will speak a word or two…so when he speaks you know the words are true, and truly worth remembering. Two years ago I went on my usual yearly 2 month trip to India to assist and practice with Sharath. I had recently separated from my husband and was living with a friend who hosted me for a few months at her place, while I figured out my life. I lived in the middle room of a her railway apartment, and most of my belongings were in storage. I was a blank canvas. This was the perfect time to go to India and be careless. No rent, no things, no husband. Perfect. Half way into the trip I started to feel the deep need to go back and build a home for myself. I had been using the time there to make a clear sankalpa of what I wanted my living situation to be when I got back, and I started to get really antsy about making it happen. I also felt I needed to begin again, and be present for the new things in my new life back home. My brain could not quiet down no matter how hard I tried. I decided to make an appointment to speak with Sharath and tell him I needed to leave and why. I didn't have much expectation of it going particularly well, but I had worked up courage to stand my ground, expose my case and stick to it no matter what. I had set my sankalpa and I was ready to embark on the journey. Usually he would say a few words, just enough, to make you forget why you were thinking of leaving in the first place. There is always a sense of duality when I don’t take my teacher’s advice, if I ask for it. But this time to my surprise he replied just the opposite . He said "ohhhh" then he was silent. During this silence I was sitting at his feet, looking up at him trying to guess - from his facial expressions - what his next statement would be, if any. I was supposed to assist another month too, so I had no idea this would be his response....he broke the silence with "divorcing huh?" I said “Yes marriage not right. There is little understanding so we are better apart" I smiled. He looked straight into my eyes maintained silence, an eternal one as I was anxious for an answer. Finally he said "Ok you go." Surprised and quite happy I had his blessing to go despite my responsibility to assist him I thanked him, touched his feet, we smiled and I began to head for the door. When I got to the door I hear "Bibi!!" I turn still smiling but like oh shit he changed his mind. “So You are free!!!!" He said this with more emphasis and excitement then I have ever seen him apply in a sentence other then when he talks about his tiger stories, his grandfather Guruji, yoga or a really good masala dosa. His tone went up and his smile showed all his white teeth. For a man that rarely speaks and especially with emotion, this was pretty special. I will never forget these words! This is sankalpa. He knew, he understood, and knowing it or not he gave me a sankalpa to take home.
Carefully choosing thoughts and words.
All this to say that thoughts and words are so important. They truly create the reality we live in. They have the power to empower us or destroy us, but we have the power over them! Having a steady practice allows you to have a discipline, and a relationship with your inner true self, the Purusha. Sitting daily with this part of you will bring clarity to your thoughts and words and slowly your sanklapa will be aligned with the true path to your ultimate freedom. This sounds so corny I know but it is true. When you commit wholeheartedly to one thing, you put all your attention to it, it begins by manifesting. Words and actions get caught in the web of the universe, they travel in space faster then you and they eventually manifest in reality if you choose to see it. It’s like if each one of us was a walking web of words and thoughts expanding out from our center, latching on to others. The quieter the mind chatter can get the less wordage and chaos on that web, the less likely your web will get caught on another web, creating new karma. Eventually with consistent, devoted practice there will be so few words/thoughts in it that only the true match for it can hook on. And so life happens when you are willing to commit to living the ultimate truth.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Vetoes Birther Bill
As I noted a few weeks ago talk show host Glenn Beck’s announcement that he was leaving Fox News was a sign that there were some limits in the talk show world. Now we have the case of Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer who has vetoed a high-profile birther bill — a sign that there are limits in the political world as well:
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill Monday that would have required presidential candidates to provide their birth certificates to appear on the ballot, and another that would have allowed guns to be carried on school grounds.
Brewer also vetoed a bill that would have directed the governor to set up an alliance with other states to regulate healthcare, in a challenge to the federal government.
HB 2177, the “birther” bill, “creates significant new problems while failing to do anything constructive for Arizona,” Brewer said.
The bill would have required presidential candidates to present their birth certificates or other birth records to be eligible to be on the ballot.
She did not mince words:
“As a former Secretary of State (sic), I do not support designating one person as the gatekeeper to the ballot for a candidate, which could lead to artibrary or politically-motivated decisions,” Brewer wrote in her veto message to House Speaker Kirk Adams.
“In addition, I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for President (sic) of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their “early baptismal or circumcision certificates” among other records to the Arizona Secretary of State. This is a bridge too far,” Brewer wrote.
What’s happening is that the bar is being increasingly lowered in American politics to what would once be considered — let’s use the word here — nutty behavior. If this bill had been signed Arizona, which has seen its businesses reeling from bad publicity over it’s anti-immigrant laws, would have yet more image problems. There is also a chance the law would have been challenged in court. And what if someone had not been baptised? (Not too many members of my synagogue were, you know). Or if they had not been circumsized?
Clearly Brewer considered the pressure she was under to sign it, balancing it off with a little thing called reality:
Last week, Brewer was tight-lipped on whether or not she planned to sign off on the bill. At the time, she called the measure “an interesting piece of legislation.”
Hawaii officials have certified Obama was born in that state, but so-called “birthers” have demanded more proof.
It was a smart call by Brewer and will also enhance her voice on other issues since she made it clear she’s not going to drink the full cup of Kool Aid — or of tea.

U.S. F-16 fighter jets dropped two 2000-pound bombs on an island in the Euphrates Nov. 16 that was believed to be used by al-Qaida as a staging ground for attacks. (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle footage)
Saturday, 17 November 2007
BAGHDAD — Operation Marne Courageous kicked off the early morning of Nov. 16 with more than (600) Coalition forces and Iraqi Army (IA) Soldiers moving into two villages near the border of Anbar province to drive out al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI), and lay the groundwork for a sustained Coalition presence. Bomb Drop Video
Soldiers of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), were joined by about (150) IA Soldiers in the air assault on the Sunni villages of Owesat and al Betra, west of the Euphrates River, 15 miles southwest of Baghdad.
Troops were transported in four helicopter lifts across the Euphrates, utilizing two CH-47 Chinook and eight UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. A Marine reconnaissance platoon, as well as Soldiers of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, stationed in neighboring Anbar province, secured the landing zone.
Once on the ground, the U.S.-Iraqi force was supported by an air weapons team of Apache and Kiowa helicopters, while approximately (70) members of an Iraqi Concerned Local Citizens (CLC) group assisted in securing the outlying perimeter.
While U.S. and Iraqi forces moved through the villages, other troops set to work constructing a bridge across the Euphrates to allow for the transport of materials and supplies to build a patrol base in the area. The base will allow for a sustained Coalition presence in the area of Owesat, part of Baghdad’s southwestern “belts.”
No enemy fighters were killed or captured during the assault.
Prior to the air assault, U.S. F-16 fighter jets dropped two 2000-pound bombs on an island in the Euphrates that was believed to be used by AQI as a staging ground for attacks. The bombardment was part of a “terrain denial” strategy, cutting off a potential AQI escape route and denying the enemy a location to regroup.
Marne Courageous’ main strategic thrust is to clear AQI extremists from the area of Owesat, establish a Coalition presence, and develop a CLC program in the area as a bulwark against further enemy activity.
Army Col. Dominic Caraccilo, commander of the 3rd BCT, 101st Abn. Div., described the mission to journalists Nov. 11. “We’re going to put a footprint there. We’re going to establish a forward operating base,” he said.
The mission was also conducted because Coalition forces believe AQI operating in the area were involved with the May 12 attack which resulted in two missing/captured U.S. Soldiers, Pvt. Byron Fouty and Spc. Alex Jimenez, belonging to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry). The 3rd BCT, 101st Abn. Div., took over the mission of the 2nd BCT, 10th Mtn. Div. at the end of October.
“The Soldiers that were captured and still missing from the 10th Mountain are now part of the Rakkasan unit, and also part of the Task Force Marne unit. And the mission I have is to exploit every avenue to try to identify where they are,” Caraccilo said.
