The Crown writer Peter Morgan says the show will “will stop filming out of respect” following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
According to Deadline, the 59-year-old British screenwriter said he expects production on Season 6 of the hit historical drama to pause out of respect from the recently deceased monarch.
“The Crown is a love letter to her and I’ve nothing to add for now, just silence and respect,” he said in a brief statement. “I expect we will stop filming out of respect too.”
Season 6 of The Crown is currently in production with Imelda Staunton set to debut as Queen Elizabeth II in the upcoming Season 5.
Of course, she’s not the first actress to take up the role of The Queen on the show, with Olivia Colman picking up a Golden Globe for the same role, following on from Claire Foy who played the young Princess Elizabeth.
Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 and ascended to the throne following the death of her father, King George VI, in 1952. She was the world’s oldest reigning monarch at the age of 96 as well as the longest-reigning British monarch in history.
The next season of The Crown heads to Netflix in November and will star Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth, Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Dominic West as Prince Charles, and Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana. Olivia Williams joins them as Camilla Parker Bowles and Jonny Lee Miller will appear as Prime Minister John Major.
IGN’s review of The Crown Season 4 gave it 9/10 and said: “Netflix's The Crown continues to prove why it's one of the best shows on television in Season 4, with amazing performances from its ensemble of characters and superb writing from showrunner Peter Morgan and his team. These 10 episodes successfully keep a balanced focus on both Queen Elizabeth's complicated relationship with Margaret Thatcher and the exploration of what makes Charles and Diana's relationship tick. Season 4 is another crowning achievement for the series – though it is bittersweet to say goodbye to such a talented group, as Netflix will recast their roles with older actors for the final two seasons.”

Only old people have strokes, right? Wrong. A recent study of 7,740 strokes showed that 45 percent of victims were younger than 65, and 27 percent were under 55. "Stroke is no longer an old-age affliction," says study author Timothy J. Wolf, who holds a doctorate in occupational therapy and teaches at the Washington University School of Medicine. "People in the prime of life now have more strokes than ever."
A big reason is that a record number of Americans are overweight, says Dr. Salina Waddy, a stroke neurologist and the program director for research at the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke. Obesity raises blood pressure, and high blood pressure is a key risk factor for stroke.
What Exactly Is a Stroke?
Most strokes are like heart attacks. In an ischemic stroke, cholesterol-rich deposits block an artery in the brain. When this happens, part of the brain is deprived of nutrients and oxygen, which disrupts whatever function -- speech, vision, walking, etc. -- that part of the brain controls. In a hemorrhagic stroke, a blood vessel in the brain bursts. The results are often the same: impairment followed by serious disability or death.
Do You Know the Symptoms of Stroke?
Most people know that chest pain might signal a heart attack, but few know the warning signs of stroke:
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
Sudden confusion, or trouble speaking or understanding what others say
Sudden difficulty seeing out of one or both eyes
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination
Sudden severe headache for no apparent reason
The key word here is "sudden." Many experience dizziness or develop headaches for no apparent reason; the tip-off for stroke is that symptoms strike suddenly, explains Waddy. "One minute you feel fine, the next something is definitely wrong," she says. In addition, not all warning signs occur in every stroke.
How Serious Are Stroke Symptoms?
Unfortunately, because few people recognize stroke symptoms, many dismiss them and discourage loved ones from calling 911. And yet, every year 800,000 Americans suffer strokes, and 144,000 die from them. Stroke is the nation's third leading cause of death (after heart disease and cancer) and the top cause of serious long-term disability.
So if someone you're with experiences one or more stroke symptoms, don't hesitate -- drugs that treat stroke work best when taken within three hours of symptoms. Call 911 immediately, say you suspect stroke, then follow the operator's instructions. A life may depend on it.

NOWHERE IN THE WORLD GROWS TOBACCO BETTER THAN CUBA. BUT EVEN HERE, ONLY A FEW SELECTED PLANTATIONS ARE JUDGED GOOD ENOUGH TO GROW THE TOBACCO FOR HABANOS.
As a great wine is defined by its vineyard, so the character of a Habano is intimately connected with the land where the tobacco grows. The locations where tobacco for Habanos can be grown are strictly limited to certain defined regions of Cuba. These are the elite Vegas de Primera – first class fields. They enjoy a special status as Protected Denominations of Origin (D.O.P). You will find each one marked with an asterisk in the text.
PINAR DEL RIO
Pinar del Rio* is the name of the province that embraces all of the important growing zones in the west of Cuba, and the name of the provincial capital. It also gives its name to a tobacco region that is protected as a Denomination of Origin, and in which there are several tobacco zones such as Vuelta Abajo* and Semi Vuelta, and districts like San Juan y Martínez* and San Luis*.
“The finest cigar tobacco-growing land in the world” Vuelta Abajo* is the main source of tobacco for Habanos, and the only zone that grows all types of leaf: wrappers, filler and binders. Indeed all tobacco for fillers and binders for “Long Filler” Habanos comes from this privileged zone. Even here less than a quarter of the tobacco-growing land enjoys the Vegas de Primera status that is required for the growing of tobacco for Habanos.
San Luis*: Small town at the epicentre of Cuban tobacco culture, known above all for the cultivation of wrapper leaves. Here you find the world-famous El Corojo Vega as well as the Cuchillas de Barbacoa farm. It is one of the two districts from which the leaves grown on its finest vegas are selected for the Cohiba brand.
SAN JUAN Y MARTINEZ
The other famous small town in Vuelta Abajo*. It has a particular reputation for the cultivation of fillers and binders, and the famous Hoyo de Monterrey plantation is located here. It is the other district where the finest vegas supply leaves for Cohiba.
The other tobacco zone, situated in the Pinar del Río region, known mainly for its cultivation of binder and filler leaves for “Short Filler” Habanos. The area of this zone employed for Habanos is very small, barely one percent of its tobacco growing land. Nevertheless it has good soil for producing seeds which are later sown in Vuelta Abajo*. Most Semi Vuelta tobacco is grown for other purposes.
Founded during the early 17th Century, Partido* is a historic tobacco region which specialises in the cultivation of wrapper leaves for long and short filler Habanos.
Remedios* is Cuba’s oldest tobacco producing region. It is the source of the leaf for one particular Habano brand: José L Piedra.

Even with the latest federal “bailout,” the best outlook is break-even for Mississippi row-crop farmers who have been hammered by Chinese tariffs and inundated by flooding, says Dr. Josh Maples, assistant professor of agricultural economics at Mississippi State University.
Prices for soybeans were low at the beginning of the year. Then came the floods that swamped roughly 250,000 crop acres that were, or were planned to be, planted in soybeans, cotton, rice and corn — about 9 percent of arable land in the Delta, Maples said.
The Delta accounts for about 75 percent of the state’s total acreage planted in those crops, Maples said in an email.
President Donald Trump ordered $16 billion through the Market Facilitation Program on May 23 for the woebegone producers.
“Even without the flood, without the tariffs, producers were already looking at a tough year,” Maples said.
The Chinese tariffs were a retaliation – aimed to hit the U.S. economy in a vulnerable spot – for Trump’s 25 percent tariff last year on steel imports and a 10 percent add-on on aluminum products.
The federal government provided $12 billion in aid to farmers in December.
Talks with China to resolve trade issues broke off May 10, though efforts are underway to restart them. Trump has said that his use of tariffs was an effort to level what he calls an uneven playing field that favors China, whose advantage in all trade with America in 2017 was $375 billion, according to the Commerce Department.
Some Mississippi farmers had planted before the flooding and others were waiting for the waters to subside, Maples said.
So-called Yazoo Pumps project, which the Environmental Protection Agency vetoed in 2008, citing possible wetlands damages that would result, are at the forefront of discussion again because of backwaters, which would have been shunted by the pumps to the Mississippi River.
Crop insurance will cover 60 percent of the soybean crop that was not planted due to wet conditions, according to to Dr. Keith Coble, head of the agricultural economics department at Mississippi State.
Maples said it is impossible at this point to quantify the economic impact on the state. “It depends on how much gets planted,” he said.
Soybeans, the biggest crop in the state, amounted to $1.7 billion in 2017. About one-third of the U.S. soybean crop is sold to China.
Willard Jacks, president of Silent Shade Planting Co. at Belzoni in Humphreys County, said that flooding meant that the operation, which totals 12,000 acres, was curtailed.
Humphreys and Washington County got hit with the backwaters from flooding in Warren, Yazoo, Issaquena and Sharkey counties.
The Silent Shade plan was to plant 5,000 acres of soybeans but only 3,000 got planted, Jacks said. This week was the point of no return on planting soybeans, so Silent Shade will have to rely on insurance and get 60 percent of 75 percent coverage of what was not planted, Jacks said.
“It’s like all insurance. It’s not gonna get you rich, it’s not gonna make you whole, but hopefully, it’ll keep you from going broke.”
The company, which is run by family members and others, was hoping to plant 2,500 acres in corn, but only put 1,800 to work.
Fifteen hundred acres was the goal for rice, but the actual acreage was 1,100, Jacks said.
The company got a break on cotton, getting all 2,900 acres in the ground during a break in the weather and backwaters.
He said he did not know how much the federal bailout money would help.
“We’re kind of like the mouse in the trap. We don’t want any cheese, we just want to get out of the trap,” Jacks said.
Jacks, who is the Mississippi member of the American Soybean Association, said another negative factor this year is the African Swine Fever, which is devastating the Chinese swine herds, thus hurting the demand for U.S. soybeans.
Jacks said that the national association “appreciates the bailouts, but that’s not where most farmers want their money. They want their money out of the market.”

Many of my friends, when I told them I was going to South Africa, had responses that varied somewhat along the lines of “Oh, another white girl going to South Africa to ‘help’ the children.” Although this was in jest, “voluntourism” experiences like that happen all the time. However, this trip was not voluntourism and every member of it consciously made sure of that. The goals of the trip were to learn about the effects of apartheid and the history of South Africa, as well as sustainable development and responsible tourism. Additionally, my personal goals for the trip were to get out of my comfort zone and do my best to remain mindful. I definitely did these things in my time in South Africa. I can’t possibly choose between all of my meaningful experiences there without writing a short novel, so I will just write about one.
One of the most rewarding and most difficult experiences was our outreach work with the church in a township in Port Elizabeth. We were split up into groups and each group walked out to a site to bring food supplies and offer prayer in the form of song to a sick member of the community. My group went to the house of an important man in the church who became too sick to attend services. Everyone crowded into his small home and sang beautiful, melodic songs that moved the man (and everyone in the room) deeply. Essentially, the service was brought to him.I really saw how strong the community was and how they were able to lift each other up. Next, all the groups met up and we all went into an elderly sick woman’s home. I didn’t think we would all fit (there were probably over a hundred people) but the home was packed to the gills and surrounded by people. I was very close to the sick woman, at the center and I saw how she was moved to tears by the singing. I shook her hand before leaving (as we all did) and I really saw how the community treated everyone as equals and how everyone cared so heavily for each other. I am not a religious person and the situation was very difficult due to how intense it was, but I found it so beautiful. Learning to live with one’s own discomfort is the key to escaping one’s comfort zone and, for me, it allowed me to grow as a person.
There’s really no way for me to encapsulate how much this trip meant to me, except to say that it was life changing. That is not an overstatement, as it deeply affected how I view social justice, politics, racial issues, sustainable development, and privilege. I am so thankful for the experience.

The first home we went into, belonging to the elderly man who could no longer make it to church.
We headed up to Norrie State Park on Friday to set up camp and get out on the water in our kayaks, as well as play some games as a group. Saturday morning was somewhat of waiting game due to the rain but spirits stayed high and we got to explore a beautiful tributary of the Hudson River. By Sunday, after one last paddle, it was time to pack up camp and head back to NYC. Throughout the trip there were games and great conversation, which lead to a strong group dynamic both among the students and among the students and instructor team. My favorite part was watching this group development. I really enjoyed the trip; it was great to get out and paddle on the Hudson, and getting to a do so as a student leader was especially rewarding. The most surprising aspect of being a leader was how important it is to have backups in whatever plans one makes, because it’s difficult to predict how quickly people will move through an activity. Giles and I should have planned more games because the 10th graders moved through them very quickly, although it did end up working out. I used a variety of leadership styles throughout the trip, from being more authoritative to letting the students figure out the best way to do something for themselves. My favorite moments were not when me or Giles told the 10th graders what to do, but when they helped each other and learned from one another. This type of peer leadership is the kind that, I believe, leads to the most growth. However, in moments when time is of the essence or there are very specific instructions, it was better to be authoritarian (although it is definitely in my leadership philosophy to keep it to a minimum). For instance, on the night hike, it was better to give the students specific instructions instead of let them figure out what to do on their own, since it allowed to the group to enjoy the activity. I think one of my strengths as a leader was simply being aware of the limits of my own expertise and knowing that it is okay for students and instructors to figure things out together. Also, I think I did a good job of understanding that an activity that is easy for me might be difficult for someone else, recognizing those moments, and helping accordingly without being condescending. In the future, I could be more thorough in planning and also more assertive in times when I needed to give instructions. Overall, I wouldn’t have changed anything about my leadership on the trip or about the trip in general (even the rain!). I felt very well prepared and it was great to test out my leadership skills.
Several students, teachers, and myself went to a march in Washington in D.C. to take part in the Ferguson protests. Although there were a lot of very large protests in New York City that day, we travelled so far because we wanted be part of the Friends presence in D.C., where there were people from all over the country. We marched towards the Capital Building where there were many speakers, including Reverend Al Sharpton and the families of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, and Eric Garner. It was moving both to hear the speakers and to see the crowd react in times of humor and sadness and determination. It felt so amazing to be surrounded by so many people who were so dedicated to making a change in the world.
Participating in the march really made me consider the movement itself and especially my role in it. As a white person, it is a slightly trickier role because I want to support the movement and yet I don’t want to detract from it. For instance, I chose not to chant “I can’t breathe” because white people can breath; our society was built to allow white people to breathe, so if I were to participate in that particular chant I would have felt as though I was devaluing the struggles of people of color in this country. Not to say that white people shouldn’t take part in the movement, but they should be there only to support and not to impose.
Last December, several of my peers and myself participated in a
three-day conference on human rights at the United Nations. It was an
incredibly valuable experience. We got to listen to and learn from
students from across the tri-state area, as well as Mexico, Canada,
and France. It is so important to get involved in these types of
opportunities because it puts us on the path to becoming future world
leaders. If we start thinking about our generation’s problems now, we
will be better prepared to deal with them in the future.
It was also a great experience because I got to meet people from so
many different countries and work with them to achieve a common goal
(making our human rights campaign proposals). It was really
interesting to see human rights not only from an exclusively American
prospective. We also all had very different backgrounds in the area of
human rights; some people had done many projects and some had barely
learned about them. Overall, the experience was very meaningful.

Seattle—Hunt Mortgage Group recently announced it has provided two loans totaling $61.5 million for Arete and Green Leaf at Lakewood, two multifamily properties located in the Seattle area. The financing has been secured through the company’s top Seattle-area correspondent, GP Realty Finance.
“The partnership between Hunt Mortgage Group and our firm has now provided the first Fannie Mae loan for a micro housing community, (…) our firm has been involved with the micro housing industry since its beginning and we’re pleased to help open the door to this competitive lending source,” Dan Piantanida, senior vice president of GP Realty Finance Inc., said in prepared remarks.
Arete, located in Kirkland, Wash., is a new mid-rise, LEED Platinum-certified apartment community comprising 290 units. Hunt Mortgage Group provided a $37.5 million Fannie Mae loan to refinance the property. According to Yardi Matrix, the community also features 7,192 square feet of retail space.
Green Leaf at Lakewood is a garden-style property encompassing 231 units in one-, two- and three-story buildings. Located in Lakewood, Wash., the community has a 96.5 percent occupancy rate, according to Yardi Matrix data. Amenities include a clubhouse, fitness center, playground, swimming pool, sport court and spa/sauna.
“These repeat clients are experienced local investors; one an award-winning builder and the other a top value-add developer,” Peter Clasquin, managing director at Hunt Mortgage Group, said in a statement. “Green Leaf will undergo an interior and exterior renovation, which we expect to recapitalize with a supplemental loan within the next few years. Areté is an unsubsidized, affordable, high-quality living experience that is walking distance to many employers and neighborhood services. If every city built projects like Areté there would be no affordable housing crisis in this country,” he added.

The Soft White Sixties
Listen to Chew Toy
The Soft White Sixties, one of San Francisco’s most talked about bands, have been hailed by some press as legitimate heirs to the Maximum R&B moniker placed on The Who some 40-plus years ago; and while that’s not un-true, The Soft White Sixties offer so much more. Like a perfect collision between the sweetly subversive melodies of T-Rex and the hard-edged pop sensibilities of The Strokes, The Soft White Sixties’ brand of rock ‘n roll blends heavy, soulful grooves with a driving beat.
Since releasing their debut EP in April of 2011, The Soft White Sixties have been busy.
After immediately filling larger venues in their hometown, from Slim’s to The Great American Music Hall, they were invited to perform at festivals around the country. Over the last year and a half, The Soft White Sixties made appearances at The High Sierra Music Festival in Quincy, CA, The Harmony Festival in Sonoma, CA, The Treefort Music Festival in Boise, ID, CMJ in New York, NY, and SXSW in Austin, TX, where they shared the stages with bands like My Morning Jacket, Dr. Dog, Delta Spirit, and The Flaming Lips.
In 2012, The Soft White Sixties successfully completed their first full US tour, going from coast to coast to play 25 shows in 30 days across 16 states. To coincide with the national tour, the band released a 9-episode documentary entitled “Knock It Loose: On The Road with The Soft White Sixties”, covering their first West Coast tour, produced by San Francisco’s own BAMM.tv. You can hear their music regularly spinning on radio stations like Live 105 and KUSF in San Francisco, KEXP in Seattle, WLOY in Maryland, and Radio Boise, and might catch some of their songs currently licensed for film and national television campaigns.
With a new record on the horizon produced by Jim Greer (known for his work with Dan the Automator and most recently Foster the People’s platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated album, Torches), The Soft White Sixties show no signs of slowing down.

After failing to plug a $26 billion budget gap, California has begun sending out IOUs to cover its costs, but most banks are refusing to accept them. Spencer Michels reports on the ongoing financial crisis in the Golden State.
Read the Full Transcript
Next tonight, bills are coming due in California and the state is having trouble paying them. NewsHour correspondent Spencer Michels has that report.
State-issued IOUs are starting to show up in California mailboxes, and the recipients are having a hard time cashing them.
The state has been printing the IOUs since July 2. Ever since, people expecting an income-tax refund check have been annoyed and businesses and social service agencies have been disrupted and confused.
The state intends to issue a total of $3 billion in IOUs. They were needed because weary legislators working long into the night failed to approve a budget, leaving the state $26 billion in the hole and without cash. The IOUs pay 3.75 percent interest, and the state promises to honor them in October, if the budget allows. If not, the state could extend the redemption date.
The problem now is that most of the big banks stopped accepting the IOUs last Friday after cashing a few of them for three days. So vendors to whom the state owes money — companies that supply the state's prison system, for example, as well as lawyers and service recipients — can't cash the warrants.
The banks worry about the financial risks the state is asking them to assume, says Rodney Brown, president of the California Bankers Association.
RODNEY BROWN, president, California Bankers Association: The banks don't really appreciate being put in this place where they are asked to basically become the bank to the people that the state owes money to; 3.75 percent is not really sufficient reward in the way of interest to compensate a bank for the risk.
The state's finance panel set the interest rate. It's the first time since 1992 that IOUs have been issued. State Controller John Chiang said he had no choice but to use them.
JOHN CHIANG, California Controller:
This impacts county governments who are providing social service programs. It's going to impact the ability of childcare providers, the people who assist the disabled.

Jo Glanville – director, English PEN
The compromise announced in Parliament today introduces unprecedented measures for regulation of the media in the UK. While I, along with members of English PEN, would like to ensure that the press can never again invade privacy and destroy lives on the scale seen in the phone-hacking scandal, I am concerned that the Royal Charter on press regulation will have a chilling effect on freedom of speech.
There remains an urgent need for clarity on who will be expected to sign up to the new regulator and who will be liable to pay exemplary damages: punitive fines of this nature have been judged by the European Court of Human Rights as a chill on political reporting and investigative journalism.
The focus of the debate has been on the newspaper industry, as the main culprits of wrongdoing. There has been no attention on the likely impact on political publications, small magazines and websites. Under the terms laid out in the Charter, it is clear that current affairs publications and websites will be exposed to damages and costs if they do not join the regulator. The uncertainty will introduce a chilling effect for all editors and publishers in the UK. No one’s freedom to publish should be dependent on proving their reasons for not joining a regulator.
The Royal Charter includes statutory underpinning to safeguard it from interference by Government ministers and the influence of the media, ensuring that changes can only be made with a two-thirds majority in both Houses. However, while this may secure the Charter from immediate interference, there is no guarantee that future politicians will refrain from introducing changes that may restrict press freedom.
The Charter also stipulates that the Recognition Board must inform Parliament after a year if the system of regulation does not cover all significant news publishers. This is currently a likely eventuality, following the threats of the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail not to join the regulator. What will happen then? Lord Justice Leveson recommended the imposition of a backstop regulator in this instance, so we may still face the worrying prospect of statutory regulation.
Politicians and campaigners have engaged with a difficult task – balancing the protection of individuals whose lives have been ruined by press intrusion against the protection of the right to freedom of expression. No solution can satisfy all sides, but the uncertainties that accompany the new dispensation are likely to affect the free speech of us all.

Gotu Kola Capsules
Gotu Kola: Helps keep the vascular system healthy and promotes an even blood flow
- An ancient Ayurvedic energising herb
- Each capsule delivers 435 mg of pure gotu kola powder
Gotu Kola is a perennial plant native to India, China, Africa and the South Pacific. It has been widely used since ancient times for a variety of conditions. Gotu Kola is not related to kola nuts and does not contain any caffeine.
What is Gotu Kola used for?
Anxiety: Triterpenoids (the compounds found in gotu kola) seem to decrease anxiety and increase mental function in mice. One human study found that people who took gotu kola were less likely to be startled by a new noise than those who took placebo. Since the “startle noise” response can be an indicator of anxiety, researchers theorise that gotu kola might help reduce anxiety symptoms. But the dose used in this study was very high, so it’s impossible to say how gotu kola might be used to treat anxiety.
Scleroderma: A single study of 13 women with scleroderma found that gotu kola decreased joint pain and skin hardening, and improved finger movement.
Insomnia: Gotu kola acts as a sedative when given to animals in tests. Because of that effect, it is sometimes suggested to help people with insomnia. But no human studies have been done to see whether it works and whether it’s safe.
Age Spots: When ingested, gotu kola improves collagen production and skin cell growth. Gotu kola rejuvenates the skin by encouraging healthy skin cells to replace age spots.
Serving Size: 2 Vegetarian Capsules
Servings Per Container: 50

Q: Did President George W. Bush drop everything to visit Ft. Hood victims? Was he ordered away by the Obama administration?
A: Bush did visit the wounded at Ft. Hood, but a Bush spokesman says that his visit was coordinated with base officials and that he was not asked to leave by the White House.


7 Jun, 15:39
ERC can confirm that the Federation Française de Rugby (FFR) has withdrawn its application to host the 2014 Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cup finals, due to the ongoing uncertainty regarding the availability of the Stade de France.
But there were no such narrow results for the top English sides. The Newcastle Falcons reigned in Spain, running in 11 tries as they cruised past VRAC 71-10. Wingers Tom May (three) and Michael Stephenson (two) bagged five tries between them, while centre Mark Wilkinson, the older brother of England's hero Jonny, and big Tongan flanker Epi Taione also scored a brace offive-pointers.
The Spaniards gave the home side some cheer with two popular tries to brothers Miguel and Oscar Frechilla in front of 3,000 fans.
Saracens return from Roma with a 45-13 win under their belts, with the brilliance of fly-half Thomas Castaignede proving too much for the Italian minnows.
Saracens coach Rod Kafer rested skipper Taine Randell and England scrum-half Kyran Bracken, and lost pacey fullback Richard Haughton to the England Sevens squad, but had far too many guns for Roma, who must be dreading the return trip to Vicarage Road.
England backrower Richard Hill scored twice as Saracens ran in five first-half tries for a comfortable 31-6 halftime lead. The English club took their foot off the pedal in the second 40, scoring just the two tries to centres Ben Johnston and Denis Cech, with Roma's fans finally getting something to cheer about when backrower Domenico De Luca went over for their only five-pointer.
Bath Rugby recorded the highest score of the English clubs, romping to a 75-11 victory over Italian club L'Aquila at Stadio Tommaso Fattori.
Prop Matt Stevens was the star of the show, scoring three of his side's 11 tries - 10 of which were converted by Olly Barkley, who scored one of his own for a haul of 25 points.
Zurich Premiership leaders Bath led 56-3 at halftime, and needed only one of the four replacements they named on the bench. Flanker James Scaysbrook and Scotland winger Simon Danielli both picked up two tries in a very one-sided match.
In other matches, Uruguayan international Rodrigo Capo Ortega scored two tries from the base of the scrum to help Castres Olympique to a comfortable 53-14 victory at Rugby Rovigo.
The French side ran in four tries in each half as they completely out-played the Italians at Stadio Battaglini, with the home side's only try coming through Romanian prop Sorin Socaciu in the second half.
Grenoble beat GRAN Parma 35-10, with winger Jean Victor Bertrand scoring a double in an easy win at the Sergio Lanfranchi ground.
Scottish side Glasgow ensured the in-form English teams wouldn't get all the Parker Pen Challenge Cup headlines with a solid 30-11 victory over Montpellier in France.
The match was transferred from Montpellier's Stade Sabathe to Carcassonne because of a flooded pitch, and barely 300 French fans made the two-hour trip to see their side fall to an impressive Scottish outfit.
Glasgow had the upper hand throughout the match, with hard-working flanker Donnie Macfadyen and winger Sean Lamont scoring tries to give the visitors a 17-6 lead at halftime, and replacement scrum-half Sam Pinder adding a third in the second half.
Glasgow captain Cammie Mather led by example to pick up the man-of-the-match award while fly-half Dan Parks added 15 points with the boot.
Colomiers' powerful bench was to the fore as the French side beat Petrarca 37-12 at home, with replacement prop Sebastien Rondinelli (two) and replacement hooker Christophe Laurent scoring crucial second-half tries.
The Italian club couldn't breach the home side's try-line and had to be content with four penalty goals from diminutive fly-half Luciano Orquera.
In the final match of the night, Brive crushed Viadana 39-3 after being held 10-3 at the break.
In the Sunday matches a second-string Harlequins side were given a scare by Spanish minnows Cetransa El Salvador.
The English club led 19-3 at halftime after a brace of tries to prop Ceri Jones, but the gritty young Spaniards hit back with a penalty try and a five-pointer from centre Jose Revilla to narrow the score to 19-18 midway through the second half.
Harlequins coach Mark Evans was forced to clear his star-studded bench in the 57th minute and tries to two of those replacements - centre Chris Bell and hooker Tani Fuga - gave the visitors a 31-18 victory.
London Irish fly-half Mark Mapletoft kicked 16 points but couldn't prevent his side falling 26-30 at Montauban.
Mapletoft converted a try in each half from winger Justin Bishop and backrower nKeiron Dawson, but the visitors' defence let them down at crucial times to give the French club a four-point advantage going into the second leg.
Home fly-half Sebastien Faugue was the star of the day, scoring two tries and kicking eight points to secure the victory.
Connacht travelled to Beziers, with veteran fly-half Eric Elwood securing a valuable 18-10 away win with six penalty goals. The haul takes Elwood to 413 points in Parker Pen rugby - the first player to break the 400 mark.
Beziers scored the game's only try - a second-half effort from hooker Dimitri Szarzewski - but will have to improve to test the Irish province at the Galway Sportsground next weekend.
In the final Parker Pen match of the round, French heavyweights Pau sneaked past Rugby Parma, winning 33-28 despite a second-half fightback from the home side.
Parma winger Francesco Marangon scored twice as the Italian club came back from 13-28 to get within a try of a huge upset at the Sergio Lanfranchi ground.


Toronto launches traffic blitz with resumption of rush hour parking enforcement
Published Friday, June 24, 2022 10:47AM EDT
Last Updated Friday, June 24, 2022 1:14PM EDT
Toronto has launched a new traffic blitz to target a variety of factors impacting nasty gridlock in and around the city, as major events are set to return this summer.
The “Keep Toronto Moving” traffic campaign officially launched on Thursday and will run through to Thursday, June 30.
The initiative includes two key components: enforcement efforts on offences that negatively impact traffic flow and the return of regular rush hour parking enforcement.
“Traffic is back and that means that rush hour enforcement has to come back in order to help keep Toronto moving. That is of course a decision and operational decision that the police will make as to sort of how and when they enforce the law. But in this case, I am very gratified that they're going to resume rush hour enforcement,” Mayor John Tory said at a news conference Friday morning.
Throughout the next week, dedicated patrols will focus their efforts on improving the flow of traffic and will address congestion factors, including vehicles blocking intersections and compliance with traffic signals.
Vehicles caught blocking intersections could face a fine of $125.
“Police officers citywide will also be stepping up enforcement efforts intended to address the major causes of our city's most serious collisions: speeding, aggressive driving and distracted driving. So far this year, 23 people have been killed in collisions on Toronto roads, including 15 pedestrians,” Traffic Services Superintendent Scott Baptist said.
On Monday, police will resume their regular rush hour parking enforcement approach now that traffic has almost returned to pre-pandemic levels.
Baptist said officers had been providing a “significant degree” of discretion in their enforcement of rush hour restrictions during the pandemic.
“While we would prefer to not issue anyone a $150 parking ticket for stopping in a rush hour route and would prefer to see voluntary compliance with these rules. Many people are now parking at random in rush hour routes, blocking these lanes for other traffic. And we believe enforcement will get people back to following the rules, improving the flow of traffic in the city,” he said.
Every year, officers issue an average of 72,000 tickets for rush hour offences.
As of Monday, July 4, police will also resume the impounding of vehicles parked in the city’s rush hour routes.
“...The prospect of having your car towed away is a very powerful inducement to follow the law. And I take no joy in the fact that people have their cars towed but it does have a very salutary effect on people in their habits when they have to go to one of those places quite far away and recover their car and pay quite a bit of money to get it back,” Tory said.
Tory said traffic levels in the city are at 90 to 95 per cent of what they were before the pandemic.
“This is a good news story in the sense that people are active in the city, events are back in the city. People are moving around the city to a much greater extent but it can't be done at the expense of safety first and foremost. And it can't be done in a way that causes the city to strangle on its own traffic,” he said.
With summer events returning to the city after a two-year hiatus, Toronto streets are expected to be packed and busy this summer, including this weekend with the Pride Parade.
Tory recommends that residents and visitors avoid driving into the city if they can.
“Please walk if you can, please cycle if you can, please take public transit if you can…Most of the events that happen in most parts of the city are well served by public transit.”

Researchers have revealed new Russian Electronic Warfare (EW) systems and capabilities that have been devastating for Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and encrypted radio communications in an alarmingly short period.
A report by the United Kingdom (UK)-based Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) notes how Moscow’s EW has consistently remained effective and brought down nearly 10,000 Ukrainian drones a month which is approximately 333 drones per day.
Like its ‘echeloned’ air defense, with progressively overlapping short, medium, and long-range surface-to-air (SAM) systems, Russian ground forces have adequately distributed EW platforms covering every 10 kilometers of the front.
Russian Lead In Electronic Warfare
Previous analyses by EurAsian Times last year had noted how Russia led in EW, having prepared in the technology since the war in Syria in 2015 and the annexation of Crimea a year before.
Subsequent reports in leading Western press further revealed the extent of the success of Russian EW that harrowed Ukrainian operations, with the most diverse range of systems for tackling everything from drones, communications, satellite navigation signals, and satellites.
The war has passed a year and is expected to continue for a few more months, with the US-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization Alliance (NATO) alliance continuing to arm Ukraine. Russia, meanwhile, is making the final push to capture small remaining pockets of territory in the south and east of Ukraine.
A New Russian Counter-Drone System
Russia’s Krasukha-2, Krasukha-4, RB-341V LEER-3, R-330Zh Zhitel, Murmansk-BN, and Moskva-1 are some of the known EW platforms, performing radio, communications, radar satellite navigation signal jamming of various frequencies and bands, along with Electronic Support (ES) and Electronic Attack (EA) roles.
The EurAsian Times had also reported how the 14Ts227 Tobol EW system disrupted the “synchronization” of the Starlink satellite internet service with its ground terminals.
But the RUSI study also revealed one EW jammer, the Shipovnik-Aero, responsible for bringing down many Ukrainian UAVs. “The Shipovnik-Aero is proving a particularly effective system because it has a low signature and can further obfuscate this by imitating other emitters and communications devices.
“It also has a sophisticated range of effects for downing UAVs. The Russian military continues extensively using navigational interference in the battle area as electronic protection. This is contributing to a Ukrainian loss rate in UAVs of approximately 10,000 per month,” said the RUSI study by Jack Watling and Nick Reynolds.
The study added that the Russian EW platforms are “heavily weighted towards the defeat of UAVs and tend not to try and deconflict their effects.” It can be assumed that by “deconflict,” the authors mean Russian units do not immediately capitalize on the loss of such a system by attacking the Ukranians since the destruction of any enemy platform means a degradation in defensive capability.
“There is minimal interest among Russian crews in synchronizing these effects with other activities or with deconflicting their effects,” the study further adds.
Devastating Ukrainian Drones
Alongside the Shipovnik-Aero, the Russian military has extensively rolled out EW effectors to be organic to all units at all echelons. This includes counter-UAV capabilities assigned to each platoon, usually directional jammers and arrays for hijacking UAVs. “Ukrainian forces now assess that at least one of these systems is available to each platoon within Russian line units,” the study noted.
There are multiple videos of Russian soldiers using large hand-held non-kinetic anti-drone guns, causing overhead Ukrainian UAVs to either drop from their flight or land softly nearby. The former means the radio control link between the drone and its ground-based operator has been severed, while the latter implies that Russian jammers have taken control of the drone.
The EurAsian Times last year reported on a video showing Russian troops retrieving one such Chinese-origin DJI drone, ostensibly used by the Ukrainians for surveillance and artillery fire correction, after jamming it with the Stupor anti-drone gun.

Would Seattle Transit Initiative Prompt State Lawmakers To Expand Bus Service?
Some state lawmakers who are supporting a Seattle initiative to undo King County Metro bus cuts say it could give them some bargaining power in Olympia.
State Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon, D-Burien, is one of eight Democratic lawmakers who’ve signed on as endorsers of the so-called Keep Seattle Moving Initiative. The initiative, expected to be on the ballot in November, would save the city of Seattle from the long term bus cuts planned by King County Metro. Supporters decided to go for a city initiative after a county wide measure failed in April.
Fitzgibbon, who's a democrat, says, if Seattle passes this initiative to solve the city’s transit problems, he'll be able to play offense rather than defense in Olympia. He says now legislators from the rest of the state are always lobbying for new roads, while Seattle area representatives have had to fight just to keep from losing public transit money. If Seattle votes to fund buses, that will change the dynamic.
"It would free up legislators from the Seattle area to advocate for expansion of our transportation infrastructure, particularly better buses and light rail as opposed to just fighting to stop cuts," Fitzgibbon said.
Still, Fitzgibbon would prefer that the county-wide bus measure would have passed. He says the Seattle only initiative doesn't help bus riders in White Center and elsewhere in the county who rely heavily on bus service.
Initiative 118 would raise $30 million a year for buses for the next six years. It would raise property taxes by $0.22 per $1,000 of assessed value, which works out to about $60 a year per homeowner.

August 31, 2012 — Despite limited resources, teachers across Asia are determined to provide the best education possible to their students. Time and time again, Books for Asia is impressed by the dedication and ingenuity of the region’s educators, whether stationed in far-flung and remote locales or in crowded, inner-city schools. Over the next few days, we will highlight teachers we came across during Storytime in Asia who are making a difference.
Annie Iqbal is a teacher with Bright Star Mobile Library, a library on wheels in Pakistan. Here she brings a book alive through a storytelling activity with a student at Vision Model School, a low-income school in a suburb of Islamabad.

I saw most of a documentary tonight on KCTS, Seattle’s local public television. It was simply titled “Happy” and covered several cultures in search of what makes us happy. Their conclusion was familiar to me.
I have always thought we were social creatures, our lives depending on each other for survival. There is a whole segment of evolutionary theory concerned with group fitness and altruism that takes for granted that we would never have survived into maturity without each other. The documentary concluded that not only is social interaction necessary for survival, it is also responsible for our happiness and longevity.
Okinawa, Japan has the highest centenarians per capita in the world. The more industrialized parts of japan are suffering from a wave of deaths at the workplace due to sleep deprivation and stress. The difference is the focus on community and social connectivity versus the focus on economic success. The residents of Okinawa farm for part of the day, then go to town where they share tea, participate in cultural activities, and care for each other. The residents of Tokyo work long hours and are constantly bombared with the need for economic success at the cost of families and even lives.
In Okinawa there was a gaggle of old ladies sitting together being interviewed. One mentioned that her husband was lost in the war and she has no other family, but she never feels alone because her neighbors are always there to care for her and interact with her. Not one of the old people shown were walking with canes or feeble in any way. It was inspiring to watch and vindicating for me, who has always been so hell bent on social interaction, that even statistical analysis upheld the hypothesis that we get our happiness not from how much money we earn but from how much love we receive.
It seems intuitive, does it not? And yet here we find ourselves in an industry that trades economic success for social interaction. The providers of Seattle, and specifically of TRB, pride themselves not on how perfectly their hair is curled or how red their lips are, but on how well we make our callers feel when they are with us. We are both naturally skilled and self taught to give much needed care and attention. Many reviews we see on TRB focus primarily on how genuine and caring the providers are and keep the physical interaction on the down-low. More indicative than reviews are the little quips and back-and-forths between providers and the men who see them. There is more than a quick lay going on and it’s no suprise it’s a huge industry despite its legal status.
I, for one, consider myself priveleged to have made my way, finally, to Seattle and to this line of work. I’ve talked about how I love it, how the giving of pleasure makes me deeply happy both in the moment and when I look back on it. This documentary resonated with me. It validated my chosen work. It made me excited about my upcoming week, full of the joy of helping my friends realize the power of a moment of relaxation and of adoration. I reccomend watching it as a reminder to take time for yourself. If you don’t have time to watch it, see my previous reccomendation.


Right now, we more or less have two execution environments for Cadence (on the live network, not counting playground/emulator). We have the smart contract and transaction environment used to update the chain, and we have the scripting environment used for querying the chain. Currently, the differences between those two environments are minimal; and basically come down to “can you update the execution state?”
I have a couple of ideas for additional differences that could make the scripting environment more useful.
First: The “normal rules” of Cadence access control could be suspended in the scripting environment. This would allow any script to read any state in any account. Because there’s no way for that code to make changes to the on-chain state, there’s no reason why we should block access to any data, since all of that state is knowable off-chain anyway. This wouldn’t be a trivial change, since it would ideally “break” the normal rules of Cadence against down-casting, and accessing non-public variables, and would also let a script access any AuthAccount. (I know! It sounds scary at first. But think it through, it’s not as crazy at it might seem!)
Second: There is an approach for building dapps in a very “pure” way. The idea is that your dapp can be implemented as an entirely stateless web app. The only code is the smart contracts that live on chain and all client code is a bunch of static JS/HTML files on a server somewhere (or something like IPFS). We’re seeing this approach being used with some defi projects, for example.
The problem with this “pure dapp” vision is that there are certain read-only access patterns that are hard to implement efficiently this way. Consider a simple CryptoKitties gene-browser dapp; it just lets you look at the genes of any Kitty in existence. If you wanted to give the user the ability to search for cats by trait combinations, you’d either have to build some kind of search index on-chain (OOF!), or query and compare the search attributes against every single one of the 2M cats in existence from JS code running in a browser. (Double OOF!!)
So, here is the second idea. What if code running in the scripting environment could have some off-chain state to which it had both read and write access to? Give the scripting environment the ability to store data, but data that ONLY lives on the Access Node. And not all Access Nodes, just the ones that had been asked to run that script.
This should give developers the ability to build something that is deployed as static code (“a pure dapp”), while still allowing efficient data access capabilities. Obviously, the ANs would need to charge for the computational and storage costs of running scripts and storing the off-chain state, but those costs are likely to be a fraction of the cost of on-chain storage and computation. And, of course, a dapp developer could run their own AN, or get a contract with some company that provides monthly access to ANs as a service.
An open question is whether or not it makes sense to use these “stateful scripts” to store data that can’t be regenerated from on-chain data. In my example above, the Kitty index could be many times bigger (in terms of raw data storage) than the baseline Kitty data on chain, but it could always be recreated as a new projection if the AN went down or if the dapp developer/user switched to a different AN. I think that use case is really powerful.
But storing data that can’t be derived from on-chain information might also be useful. Imagine a dapp that let you choose between different interface skins (like a “dark mode”). Storing the selected skin on-chain seems potentially like overkill, but asking the user to chose their skin each time they log in (or the AN gets rebooted) seems unfortunate also.

EXP Edition releases music video for “Feel Like This”
EXP Edition is an American K-Pop group that made their official Korean debut in April of 2017. This isn’t their first video, they previously released a video back in 2015;
The previous video seemed to have more members, but they’re only debuting now with 4.
While this is rather strange, and many people aren’t quite sure how to feel about it, I figure, just judge it based on the music. The boys do have some lovely voices and created a song that has a catchy hook.

text: I finished the painting! First big painting I have done in a while, and I am really happy with her. There is something mesmerizing about starting something without a plan and she was definitely one of those happy accidents. When I sat down to begin painting that day, I had no plan on subject or composition, she just appeared. I had just been to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and had stood in front of a number of Van Goghs, marveling at his color and composition. I also was completely captivated by a couple of O’Keefe paintings they had as well and so many other works of art.

China intends to construct its first lunar base by 2028.
Nuclear energy will most likely power the lunar base.
The Chang'e 6, 7 and 8 missions would build the lander, hopper, orbiter, and rover that make up its basic configuration.
Billions of dollars are being spent by China and the US to do more than just place astronauts on the moon.
China was the first nation to send a rover to the moon's far side in 2019, and it later returned with its first moon samples.
It will be interesting to watch who succeeds in establishing the first moon base on the lunar surface now that NASA Artemis mission is aboard.

When it was announced that LeBron James has signed a 4 year $154 Million contract with the Lakers, it was a move which surprised everyone considering Lakers really don’t have the line up to compete against the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs. LeBron’s rivalry with the Warriors will go from a”Twice-a-year then meet-in- the-finals situation, to a four-times-a-year, battling-for-Western-Conference-and-California-supremacy” kind of relationship.
LeBron James joining the Lakers could mean the end of Lonzo Ball’s time in Los Angeles. Though he’s a talented player, James has made it clear he has no respect for LaVar Ball, Lonzo’s father. LaVar Ball has taken on the King James, criticizing the way James has brought up his children and recently mocking James’ deal with Nike, saying that his three sons would become billionaires before James did.
With LeBron James going with Lakers, it has given them a new hope, even if the Lakers cast is raw, King James is so great that he has the capability to take the Lakers to the playoffs all by himself.
Even if the Lakers have signed LeBron James, it doesn’t mean that Lakers are back at the top because as much as great LeBron is, he still has to win championships for them and James will have a difficult time getting to the conference finals now, because he would have to get past going through Golden State or Houston Rockets.
The Lakers have won 16 NBA championships but have missed the playoffs for a franchise-record five straight seasons. James moving to the Western Conference almost certainly will change that. For the past five years, it didn’t seem that Los Angeles was irresistible anymore as star after star declined opportunities to join the Lakers. James eliminated the perception that L.A. has lost its desirability by signing this massive contract.
However, Kings too needs support and to help Lakers get into the playoffs and possibly beat Warriors, lakers need to sign Kwahi Leonard and also LeBron must have signed with the Lakers because there was a big possibility that Kwahi might be joining them too. Leonard will be an unrestricted free agent after next season and has already stated that he will not play for any team outside of L.A.
After LeBron, only players to have joined Lakers thus far are Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson, and JaVale McGee.
It’s no secret that Stephenson and Rondo have hated LeBron for years and McGee has been blocked by LeBron on Instagram. So only time will tell how productive will LeBron’s teammate be and if that would be enough to get Lakers through the Playoffs.
In the past, LA has had their fair share of greats like Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O’Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Dwight Howard. But LeBron James is altogether a different scenario because going into the 16th season of his NBA career, he is the one person who is a virtual certainty to get Lakers the championship that they have longed for since the retirement of Kobe.

Shaughnessy is an almost entirely residential neighbourhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, spanning about 447 hectares in a relatively central locale. It is bordered by 16th Avenue to the north, 41st Avenue to the south, Oak Street to the east, and Arbutus Street/West Boulevard to the west. Recent census estimates place its population at 9020, hailing from 2970 households.
The neighbourhood is characterized by the affluence of its residents: at an average annual household income of $136,252 and family income of $153,895 it is the wealthiest neighbourhood in Vancouver. It is also the site of many historical homes, especially in First Shaughnessy. 51.5% of the neighbourhood's homes were built before or during World War II, compared with 20.8% for the city at large. This is largely due to the 1981 First Shaughnessy Official Development Plan by-law, which promotes private property ownership and single-family dwelling, while limiting property subdivision and population density.
The neighbourhood was created in 1907 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, then the largest real estate developer in Canada. It was meant as an alternative to the West End, which was the traditional home for the budding city's elite. Thanks to aggressive marketing by the Railroad, highly regulated development and a stronger degree of exclusiveness, it gradually took the latter's status over the past century.
