Loretta Weinberg was embarrassed.
She said as much at a virtual press conference today about a pay equity suit filed in October by five female Rutgers University professors.
Weinberg was the chief sponsor of an equal pay law signed by Gov. Phil Murphy early in his tenure. The measure had been blocked by former Governor Chris Christie.
So the senator from Teaneck definitely had “mixed feelings” when she took part in today’s conference.
That’s because she said she was “embarrassed” that the state university may itself be guilty of sex discrimination.
The suit by the five professors alleges they have been paid “substantially less” than their male counterparts for years.
One of the plaintiffs, Nancy Wolff, a distinguished professor in public policy who directs the Bloustein Center for Survey Research, spoke of a need to change the culture.
For one thing, that’s a catch phrase when it comes to this type of thing.
For another, it seems as if the culture may have needed changing for a long time.
As was pointed out today, it was more than 50 years ago that Rutgers settled an earlier pay equity suit by female professors.
One of the plaintiffs in that action was Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the late U.S. Supreme Court judge.
Wolff and another plaintiff, communications professor Deepa Kumar, suggested that citing fiscal problems brought on by the pandemic is not a legitimate reason not to pay women fairly.
When the suit was filed about two months ago, the university said in a statement that pay equity is a top priority of new president Jonathan Holloway.
The plaintiffs appear hopeful that Holloway, the first African American president of Rutgers, will address the problem.
But still, as was mentioned today when the Ginsburg connection popped up, the problem has been around for a long time.
Which is precisely why Weinberg was embarrassed.

Cruise only (Please call for flight options)
Setting sail from Amsterdam
Amsterdam is one of our very favourite cities to visit, as well as also being a perfect base to explore the nearby landscape of windmills and dikes. The Amsterdam canal belt is now officially recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and from them there are so many neighbourhoods to explore, such as the Jordaan with its higgledy-piggledy streets and its famed garden courtyards (hofjes). There are also a wealth of famous museums and galleries to choose from, such as the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House, not to mention some more, shall we say, quirky options.
The quaint cobbled streets that straddle Amsterdam’s grandest canals, known as De Negen Straatjes, are awash with history and contain some of the most unique shops in the city.
When Ålesund was destroyed by fire in 1904, the German Kaiser Wilhelm II agreed to foot the bill to rebuild it. The result was the stunning Art Nouveau architecture that you see today, which blends elements of the German 'Jugendstil' with Viking flourishes.
The Geirangerfjord is arguably the most spectacular fjord in all of Norway, a sinuous ten mile stretch of sheer mountain walls and tumbling waterfalls. The village of Geiranger itself sits at one end of the fjord, and in summer the population swells with an influx of visitors to this beautiful region.
Beautiful Bergen, Norway’s former capital, is a perfect city to explore on foot. Bryggen – the old Hanseatic wharf, and a UNESCO World Heritage site – still has the old harbour timber buildings, whilst other attractions include the funicular up Mount Floyen and the busy fish market.

Wonderful Copenhagen is the perfect city to explore on foot, by bicycle or by water. Visit the bustling wharf at Nyhavn, enjoy the palaces, galleries and museums, wander through the amazing Tivoli Gardens, and if you have time, make the most of Copenhagen’s gastronomic revolution.
Germany: Warnemünde (Rostock)
The old Hanseatic port of Rostock was heavily damaged in the Second World War, though attractive enclaves of historic architecture remain. The little village of Warnemünde, a suburb of Rostock, is home to one of the most appealing beaches on the Baltic coast.
Finland’s lovely capital Helsinki is a maritime city, with the sea on three sides and almost 100 kilometres of shoreline, as well as around 300 islands. Its contemporary architecture and focus on modern design sit surprisingly well alongside its four hundred year history.
Russia: St Petersburg
Lovely St Petersburg, the jewel in the crown of Baltic cities, features so much to see and do, with its high art, lavish architecture, dramatic history and rich cultural traditions. An extraordinary wealth of treasures sit alongside historical tales which will captivate and intrigue you.
The historic harbour city of Tallinn in Estonia is really quite captivating. Just the perfect size to explore on foot, its medieval (and UNESCO listed) town centre, with its cobblestone streets and a busy Town Hall Square, is the perfect introduction to Estonia’s rich history.
The buzzing city of Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. Many sights will delight; the busy waterfront, the cobbled streets in the Old Town, and the museums, palaces, gardens and galleries. And of course, just 20 minutes away, its archipelago of 30,000 islands offers a totally different experience.
Aarhus is Denmark’s second largest city, but it’s also a compact and likeable place with a burgeoning cultural scene and a large student population. The combination of superb restaurants, attractive cobbled streets and excellent museums make Aarhus an unexpected highlight of any cruise around the Baltic.
Arriving in Amsterdam
Explore by water, or by bicycle to get a feel for the city – a hop on hop off canal boat, or rented bike or pedalo will do the trick.
Your home from home
Holland America Line's newest and largest ship to date, the magnificent 2,650 guest MS Koningsdam, is the first of the Pinnacle Class ships in the fleet, to be followed by MS Nieuw Statendam in 2018. The new ships combine Holland America’s heritage with the ultimate in 21st century elegance.
What we love
It is great to see a classic line reinvent itself, and Holland America have done just that with Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam - the tradition and nautical heritage are there, along with stylish service, a friendly welcome, cutting edge technology and contemporary design.
|Crew||1,036 International Staff|
Fluid curves and graceful lines, light-filled spaces and breath-taking architecture create an engaging environment on Koningsdam, which rethinks the Holland America style for the contemporary cruiser.

A global backlash against facial recognition technologies due to the bias found to be intrinsic in some of the tools has prompted one of Israel’s leading startups in the field to warn against a wholesale rejection of the field.
Adam Devine, chief marketing officer at Israel’s controversial AnyVision, a global leader in visual intelligence technology, said governments should allow only specialized providers — who know how to protect privacy and prevent bias — to sell facial recognition software. Nor should they be sold to organizations that are not going to use them correctly, he said.
But “don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater,” he urged.
AnyVision was recently accused by media of providing the Israel Defense Forces with tools for mass surveillance in the Palestinian territories. Microsoft in March divested its holdings in AnyVision, even though the tech giant said it couldn’t substantiate claims that the startup’s technology was used unethically after it hired a team of lawyers headed by former US attorney general Eric Holder looked into the matter.
Facial recognition technology as a whole has come under fire by civil liberties activists who say the tools are biased against people of color and infringe upon citizens’ privacy. The technology, which uses visual images to help computers identify people is in wide use, from unlocking phones to picking out a suspect’s face at borders or mass gatherings. Since increased use of the technology could help keep crime and terror in check, a global debate is now raging regarding the pros and cons of this technology.
On June 25, Boston became the second-largest city in the world after San Francisco to ban the use of facial recognition technology by police and city agencies, based on the idea that the technology is inaccurate when it comes to people of color.
Unable to tell Black people apart
Robert Williams, a Black man living in a suburb of Detroit, was arrested earlier this year at his home, in front of his wife and two young daughters, and locked up for nearly 30 hours. Facial recognition technology used by Michigan State Police had mistaken him for another Black man, because the tech used by the force is unable to tell Black people apart.
The only thing Williams had in common with the suspect caught by the surveillance camera of a watch shop was that they are both large-framed Black men, said the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The organization last month called for lawmakers “to stop law enforcement use of face recognition technology.”
Williams’s story comes as tech firms in the US, including IBM, Amazon and Microsoft, were planning to pause or end sales of their facial recognition technology to police in the US. Amazon on June 10 announced a one-year pause on allowing law enforcement to use its Rekognition platform, two days after IBM said it would no longer offer its general-purpose facial recognition or analysis software, out of potential human rights, bias and privacy concerns.
“We’ve advocated that governments should put in place stronger regulations to govern the ethical use of facial recognition technology, and in recent days, Congress appears ready to take on this challenge,” Amazon said in a statement. “We hope this one-year moratorium might give Congress enough time to implement appropriate rules, and we stand ready to help if requested.”
The ACLU said the stand taken by these firms comes years after activists started to sound warnings about the technology.
“For years, racial justice and civil rights advocates had been warning that this technology in law enforcement hands would be the end of privacy as we know it,” ACLU director Kade Crockford wrote in a blog post on June 16, after the tech firms made their announcements. “It would supercharge police abuses, and it would be used to harm and target Black and brown communities in particular.”
“But the companies ignored these warnings and refused to get out of this surveillance business. It wasn’t until there was a national reckoning over anti-Black police violence and systemic racism, and these companies getting caught in activists’ crosshairs for their role in perpetuating racism, that the tech giants conceded — even if only a little,” Crockford wrote.
A 2018 MIT study that looked into three commercially released facial-analysis software products of major tech firms showed both a skin-type and gender bias. The software had an error rate of 0.8% in identifying the gender of light skinned men, as opposed to more than 34% for darker skinned women, for example.
AnyVision, a Holon, Israel-based startup founded in 2015 by Neil Robertson and Eylon Ethstein, uses artificial intelligence technology to recognize faces, bodies and objects for security, medical and business purposes, among others.
Its recognition technology software is used to “authenticate legitimate users and customers; detect targets; track criminals and terrorists; and locate missing persons in a wide range of settings, including banks, educational institutions, correctional facilities, airports, casinos, businesses, and special events,” according to the database of Start-Up Nation Central, which tracks the Israeli tech industry.
The firm had raised a total of $74 million from investors, including Microsoft’s venture capital arm, Qualcomm Ventures; LightSpeed Venture Partners; Robert Bosch GmbH; and Eldridge Industries, according to Start-Up Nation Central.
Last year Israeli business newspaper The Marker reported that the IDF uses technology provided by AnyVision at West Bank checkpoints, and in cameras dotting the Palestinian Authority. The cameras and database were being used to identify and track potential Palestinian assailants, the report said. Then, in October, an MSNBC report queried why Microsoft was funding an Israeli firm that helps surveil West Bank Palestinians.
The report led Microsoft to probe the matter, and in March this year the US tech giant said it was pulling out of its investment in AnyVision, even though its own investigation couldn’t substantiate claims that the startup’s technology was being used unethically.
“After careful consideration, Microsoft and AnyVision have agreed that it is in the best interest of both enterprises for Microsoft to divest its shareholding in AnyVision,” said Microsoft in a statement.
Besides divesting from the firm, Microsoft also said it will stop making minority investments in companies that sell facial-recognition technology.
Microsoft also said the audit underscored the challenges of being a minority investor in a company selling sensitive technology, because it may not have enough oversight or control over how the technology is used.
Now, headlines in the US and globally have further raised the heat against these technologies.
AnyVision’s Devine declined to comment on the Microsoft and AnyVision relationship beyond what the US tech giant said at the time of divestment. But he added that no other tech firm has pulled out from its investment in the Israeli startup and that “sales have not been impacted by the Microsoft divestiture.”
Interest in the company’s products, which have netted sales worth “many millions” of dollars around the world, is up, he said, thanks to a “desire to improve the safety of people and premises.”
Customers use AnyVision’s facial recognition technologies to open doors, for remote authentication and identification for a secure transaction and for security purposes, “to identify known people on watch lists to prevent threats.”
Shortly after the outbreak of the coronavirus, AnyVision installed thermal cameras at Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, Israel’s largest hospital, to let officials spot hospital staff with a fever.
The facial recognition software can reportedly identify “in seconds” anyone who came into contact with an infected staffer, and allows officials to determine precisely who should go into isolation.
The backlash against facial recognition companies “is not affecting us in any in any material way right now, other than businesses and individuals are looking at our website,” Devine said. “We are probably getting more inbound interest as people really want to understand what facial recognition is actually about.”
Forcing the conversation
Devine said the recent headlines about facial recognition technologies is forcing a long-overdue conversation and, he hoped, legislation.
“It is good that this is happening… it will force organizations like the ACLU to really understand what good face recognition is and be able to differentiate it from bad facial recognition.” In fact, it will force “every player in the market to get educated,” Devine said.
He added that a high-quality facial recognition product, like those of AnyVision or some of its peers, is created with built-in privacy controls and “care around bias at its core,” with algorithms trained to “equally and accurately recognize every face, every gender and every orientation, without bias.”
“It is purely about education, like a child,” Devine said. “An algorithm is a blank slate. No person is born with bias; that bias is learned. In the same way, no algorithm is born with bias, it has to be trained in or trained out of the algorithm.”
In other words, an algorithm’s developers need to supply it with a wide enough range of training data.
The MIT study was looking at open-source algorithms that were “poorly trained,” he said, and that reflected poorly on the whole industry. Following the study, the public assumed that facial recognition was intrinsically biased. But that is an “uneducated, flawed statement,” he maintained.
The widespread concern today is that law enforcement officers are able to upload to open source platforms images of protesters and identify them so that they could be arrested.
There is a big difference between open source facial recognition technologies that are free for anyone to use, like those offered by some big tech firms, and those of specialized businesses like AnyVision, Devine said.
“There is no way our software or other software like ours could ever be used for that purpose,” Devine said. “It is technically not possible, based on the way we sell it and based on privacy controls.”
AnyVision’s software, for example, identifies only specific people that are already on a criminal or wanted watchlist, he said, and it has controls that prevent users from adding faces to watchlists without permission.
In addition, the software has automated bystander blurring, which ensures only the faces of people on watchlists are seen clearly.
Using AnyVision software, users cannot “reverse engineer” the identification of a person, by uploading a picture to find out who the person is, Devine said. And the software is engineered to “eliminate bias” with a core algorithm that was trained on the most diverse datasets in the most diverse, real-world environments, he said.
“At the moment, we have no police customers in the US. I wish we did,” said Devine. “I would like for every police organization in the entire world to be using the kind of facial recognition that we produce.”
Devine doesn’t worry that facial recognition technology will be banned completely. “Too much good has come for the safety of the world from safety recognition for it to be banned,” he said. “There may be a case where it is banned for certain cases, and I think that is fine.”
There should, however, be legislation in place requiring firms developing the algorithms to make sure they are accurate and bias-free, and setting out the specific cases in which the technology can be used.
“There is a regulatory vacuum” regarding facial recognition technologies, said Tehilla Shwartz Altshuler, a senior fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute who studies the impact of technology on democracy.
“There are no rules, not even ethical ones for now,” and the field is not regulated in any democratic country. “This vacuum needs to be solved. The harm connected to facial recognition is wider and deeper than we thought at the beginning.”
But banning facial recognition will only give countries like China an edge, she said. Western countries would be putting “our head in the sand, if we don’t develop them.”
The right thing to do at the moment, she said, is to “take an ethical pause,” as suggested by Amazon, to figure out how to solve the problems and set out criteria for going forward.
Strict regulations should limit what the technology can be used to look for, and it should never be allowed to infer additional private information about a person, such as a disease or a sexual leaning, Shwartz Altshuler said.
The algorithms also need to be “transparent,” Shwartz Altshuler added, with developers being open about what data they were trained on. This information may be difficult for the layman to understand, but professionals would be able to vet it. And there should always be the ability to have a human supervise the software’s conclusions, on a case-by-case basis, she said.

Hi! Extremely new, but extremely excited.
Hi everyone, my name is Katie and I'm new to this forum and also to horses. Although some might say that I'm not so new to horses, since I have a 3.5yo great dane...I get really tired of hearing that!!! :) I'm a dog walker in my city and am apprenticing to become a dog trainer. Clicker training is my fave and I'm excited to practice it with horses too, when I get the chance to let my inner geek hang out.
My friend who is learning dressage (and just bought her own horse) knew that I was really interested in taking lessons and bought me two lessons for Christmas. I'm now taking private lessons at least twice a month at a really nice barn and am loving it. I wish I could go more often but it's about 3hrs of driving round trip for a lesson. The horse I ride is a great school horse, but he really makes you earn every bit, and I love that about him. I look forward to seeing him at every lesson! My coach says I am a quick learner and seems impressed with my progress, although I've only had a few lessons and she is probably just saying that! It's a great confidence booster for sure. At our last lesson we worked on posting around the arena, off the lunge line. So much fun!
Riding is definitely going to be a part of my life from now on and I'm excited to be a part of this forum and learn as much as I can about good horsemanship and care. Thanks for having me. :)

GCVS, in partnership with Glasgow City Council, recently hosted three workshops in order to gain input into the city’s Resilience Strategy.
Resilient Glasgow is an initiative supported by the Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities Network and is an attempt to build an overarching resilience strategy to ‘future-proof’ the city against the shocks and chronic stresses we may face as the 21st Century progresses.
Throughout the events, we have had lots of interesting and informative conversations with the sector, providing the team taking forward the development of the strategy with a diverse range of insights into what it would take to make the city and its citizens more resilient. Using the Glasgow Game, developed by Glasgow Centre for Population Health as a tool for discussion, gave people the opportunity to look at the issues facing Glasgow in a holistic way, generating many thoughtful conversations and useful solutions along the way.
This is an ongoing initiative in which GCVS will be involved. To aid understanding of the process so far, we have prepared a Resilient Glasgow briefing, which explains the themes and focus areas being considered in the strategy’s development.

I started taking lessons when I was five years old, moving around to different barns until I found my second home at Levremont Farm in 7th grade. I did anything I could to get to the barn, including helping the older kids that could drive with their work at the barn in exchange for them picking me up and taking me along. Being a jumpers barn at the time, jumpers is the discipline I have the most experience in. Later, it became an eventing barn, giving me some introduction to cross country and very little in dressage. Having the least experience in dressage, but realizing the importance of dressage knowledge in every discipline, I decided I wanted to join this amazing team as an extracurricular activity in college.
With my short time being a part of this wonderful team, I have already started to see a transformation in my riding. After every lesson you can always see my face beaming from the lesson of the day coming together. There is so much to learn from not only our instructor but also the other members of the team! I am glad to call these girls my friends, as they are so welcoming and willing to help in any way they can! I am excited for what the future will bring with this team and everything I get to learn from it!

Mmmm apple butter. Sweet, spicy and fruity spread over a slice of homemade bread, does it get much better than that?
One thing I wanted to be sure to do with all the apples we picked this year was to make apple butter. I've only made it a few times, and it has been awhile. So, I decided to check out a few recipes.
What I found was about as many techniques and ingredient combinations as there are people who make apple butter. In all cases apple butter is apples cooked for a long time with sugar and spice added. Besides that, it is very much a what works for you and spice to taste kind of preserve.
It can be cooked on the stove, in the oven or in the crock pot. A wide variety of fall type spices can be used, and some recipes even call for cinnamon red hot candy. A common theme regarding spices is to use extracts and oils instead of ground spices. One recipe used a spice bag filled with various spice placed in with the apples while they cooked.
So basically, cook the apples a lot, and add sugar and spice to taste. If you choose to use extracts add a little at a time. They can be very powerful. Below is rough estimate of how I made it. (Yield approx. 6 pints)
Crock pot of peeled, cored and sliced apples 1 C water 4 C sugar 3 drops clove oil 1 TB cinnamon extract.
Put water and apples in the crock pot. Cook on high until apples start to get soft or it comes to a boil, then turn to low. Stir occasionally. After the apples are soft, add sugar one cup at a time, cooking about an hour between. Taste before adding more sugar.
The apples have cooked long enough when a wooden spoon stands up in the crock pot of cooked apples. Add spices to taste. Fill hot jars with hot apple butter and seal. Jars can be sealed, as recommended by the experts, by processing for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. I tried something new with this batch, the inversion method.
To seal jars with the inversion method turn the filled jars upside down for 15 minutes. Then turn right side up and allow to cool. This is the first time I've used this method and all the jars sealed. I'm sold. I believe this method can be used for any jam or jelly type recipe. I will be using it again.
(Please note that the boiling water method is the recommendation of the canning experts at the USDA.)

'We have the most beautiful baby': Gushing mother Mel B tweets a photo of sleeping Madison
Like most mothers, Melanie Brown can be forgiven for being bias about her baby daughter Madison.
Exhausted after a 29-hour journey from London, the ex-Spice Girl tweeted a photo of her sleeping baby at home in Sydney.
Writing on her Twitter addressing her husband Stephen Belafonte, she gushed: 'We have the most beautiful baby, Madison thank you honey, look at the pic.'

I was born and raised in Thailand. For Thai people, food has a role in every occasion. Living far away from my motherland now, cooking has become an important way for me to bring back all the good memories.
When I came to my new country I started cooking more and I got to explore and learn about other cuisines as well. I always treasure spending time in the kitchen cooking for the people I love and trying new recipes.
I love to cook, and I love taking photos and sharing recipes with the people who also have cooking as their passion.
I always remember someone saying “Cookery is not chemistry. It is an art. It requires instinct and taste rather than exact measurements”. This is just like creating Thai cuisine. We don’t have measurements; we just go by our own tastes. The recipes I post on this blog are just a guide, and I suggest you always go by your own tastes.
Finally, I thanks my family, friends and colleagues who support and encourage me to cook, as well as all the foodies who share their recipes and inspire me.

His films are notable for cascading glass, falling bodies and enough bullets to touch off a war. But John Woo, Hong Kong's most celebrated filmmaker, whose movies are almost operatic in their excess, insisted that the flamboyant violence stamping his work resembles a ballet, almost ethereal, even otherworldly.
''It's like dancing,'' the 51-year-old director remarked the other day as he nervously awaited the opening of ''Face/Off,'' his most ambitious American film, starring John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, which opened No. 1 at the box office this weekend. ''My actors are amusing and exciting. I grew up on films like 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.' That's what I want! It's like a cartoon.''
And the anarchic violence in his films? The BBC once called Mr. Woo ''the Mozart of mayhem.'' ''Violence in real life is horrid, frightening,'' Mr. Woo said. ''The news on television is scary, not movies. Movies are fake, not real. People know the movies are not real.''
Mr. Woo, who moved to Los Angeles five years ago to flee what he termed the creative constraints of Hong Kong, is now poised to become an American success story after a 1993 misstep with ''Hard Target,'' starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, and the far more successful 1996 movie ''Broken Arrow,'' with Mr. Travolta and Christian Slater.
Thus far, however, Mr. Woo's fame rests on Hong Kong movies that have been lauded by directors like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino. Films like ''A Better Tomorrow'' (1986), ''The Killer'' (1988) and ''Hard Boiled'' (1992) transformed the traditionally low-budget king-fu action genre into bizarrely over-the-top fantasies inevitably involving two men inextricably linked and hurtling toward a fatal collision.
''Face/Off,'' a film released by Paramount, which received the best reviews of Mr. Woo's career, is a weird saga involving a law enforcement officer, played by Mr. Travolta, who undergoes radical surgery to ''borrow'' the face of Mr. Cage, a psychopath bent on destroying Los Angeles. Mr. Travolta wants to find the site of a poison gas bomb. Of course, things go awry. Mr. Cage awakens from a coma with the face of Mr. Travolta. The film has Mr. Woo's trademarks: a dizzy plot, hypercharged editing, blunt religious symbolism, offbeat humor and unimaginably creepy villains. Subtlety is not Mr. Woo's strong point.
In its opening as No. 1 this weekend, the film grossed $22.7 million, said the Exhibitor Relations Company, which tracks ticket sales. It outflanked Disney's ''Hercules'' as well as ''Batman and Robin,'' which was No. 3 at the box office and dropped off so sharply in its second week that it looms as a major disappointment.
Referring to the movie, Mr. Woo said the duality of good and evil is central to the film and to his work. ''It's my usual theme, always good and evil mirroring each other,'' he said, in an office near the 20th Century Fox studios in West Los Angeles, where he is starting work on a new film. ''I like imperfect characters. Perfect heroes bore me.''
Mr. Woo's films, with their choreographed and often slow-motion violence, seem surprisingly funny and bloodless, as if all that killing were not horrific. His sources, he said, are rooted in films by directors of the 1950's and 60's: Sam Peckinpah, Stanley Kubrick, Akira Kurosawa, Alfred Hitchcock and Arthur Penn.
As Peter Rainer, chairman of the National Board of Film Critics, wrote last week in the newspaper New Times: ''Woo openly courts -- and satisfies -- our primal desire to see people pulverized. Even five years ago his brand of mayhem might have seemed too way out for American audiences, but because of the increasingly heightened violence in our movies -- and especially because of the Hong Kong movie influence in the films of Quentin Tarantino -- Woo may soon be anointed as Hollywood's new crown prince of estheticized gore.''
Mr. Woo said he moved to Los Angeles in 1992 partly because he felt stymied in Hong Kong -- ''The Government in Hong Kong, the police, treat filmmakers like beggars'' -- and partly to spend more time with his family. ''I worked seven days a week in Hong Kong. My children hardly saw my face, they never really had a father and there were misunderstandings, difficulties,'' said Mr. Woo, a compact man with a wide smile and an open, engaging manner. ''I was guilty, very guilty.''
''Now I stay home after work,'' said Mr. Woo, who lives with his wife, 15-year-old son and two daughters, 17 and 20. ''I try to be a good father. I cook for them.''
Mr. Woo himself is part of a vanguard of Hong Kong filmmakers working increasingly in Los Angeles and clearly a bit uneasy about the end of colonial rule after 156 years when Britain hands the colony back to China on Tuesday. .
''Some people say it will be tough on the film business at first,'' he said. ''There will be censorship, but perhaps this will be temporary. I don't see many problems.''
Mike Simpson, senior vice president of the William Morris agency, which represents many of Hong Kong's top filmmakers, agreed that there was some nervousness within the movie business there -- as well as anticipation.
Among the filmmakers the agency represents are Mr. Woo; Jackie Chan, the action star of ''Rumble in the Bronx'' and ''Supercop''; Chow Yun-Fat, a frequent star of Mr. Woo's films who is making his Hollywood debut early next year opposite Mira Sorvino in ''The Replacement Killers''; Stanley Tong, director of ''Rumble in the Bronx,'' who is now making ''Mr. Magoo'' for Disney, and Michelle Yeoh, one of Hong Kong's top female movie stars, who appears in the new James Bond film, ''Tomorrow Never Dies.''
''There is some feeling of apprehension or wariness, of uncertainty,'' Mr. Simpson said. ''There's also a sense of excitement.''
Mr. Simpson said the migration of Chinese talent to Los Angeles had little to do with the handover. ''The level and quality of films made there just began to go down and down,'' he said. ''They were remaking bad versions of good films they made earlier.'' He also noted that American action films had simply usurped many Chinese-language films in the Asian marketplace in recent years, leading to a deteriorating financial base for Hong Kong films and a decline in quality.
As for Mr. Woo, he said his next movie, called ''King's Ransom,'' which is set to start filming later in the year, is a comedy.
A John Woo comedy?
Mr. Woo smiled. ''It's like the 1960's heist movies, like 'To Catch a Thief' or 'The Thomas Crown Affair,' '' he said. ''It will, I hope, be funny and charming and elegant. Only a little bit of shooting.''

Director Siddharth Anand and Hrithik Roshan team up and the last movie was thrilling after the last film, Bang Bang. But in this movie one new actor has been added to create a more thrill in this movie. The result of this movie is amazing and will entertain you.
WAR story: – The story of this movie is based on Indian superhero soldier Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) which has been gone rogue after killing and assassination mission. And on the other side, Tiger shroff is playing the role of Kabir in which it has been given a task to bring back these mentors down and bring him justice.
WAR review: In this movie, you are going to see two stars and firm favorites of action movies, Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, who are together on War. This movie is gonna be one best movie as two of the best actors of Bollywood are performing together. It makes me remind me of the movie of Sanjay Dutt and Jackie shroff in Subhash Ghai’s khalnayak. War is a movie that is fully based on action movie buffs. It has a lot of stunts, thrills, twists and too much of masala in it the main aim to keep engaged with the first half, and the big reveals happen which is in the second part of the story,
But the story is an all fairness, with a secondary idea of watching with two handsome hunks squaring off in a high-octane stunt. It’s like the two heroes, Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff who are known for their bulging muscles and six-packs abs.
Like the entertainer, the movie War also has a little bit of drama, music, romance, exotic location, and car chases. This movie Siddharth Anand and his team have designed the many stunts in the movie for more thrill like the movie Fast and Furious. The action and the dialog in the movie are entertaining. After the movie of Hrithik Roshan Doom 2 and tiger Shroff Baaghi 2, War is one of the decent action movies which has been played by the heroes.
So, what you are waiting to go an watch this movie. If you have liked this movie then make sure you have comment down below and thank you for reading.

My grandfather died 4.5 years ago not of old age, but of a broken heart.
Just short of 97 and a short 18 months after grandma died he decided he had enough and let go of the earth.
The man who at 90 something told me he thought my grandmother had a great ass said goodbye and reminded me that I had promised to pull him out of the coffin if it was too hard to stay there.
You may think that is an exaggeration and ask me if I have engaged in some sort of hyperbole and I’ll shake my head no.
Didn’t have to nor did I need to.
Grandpa said all those things to me and more.
I don’t need the blog to remember those moments or the words that came from them. Don’t need any of it because those are the kind of memories that are burnt into my head and all I need to do is click whatever button or flip whatever switch inside my head that people use to remember and it all comes back.
I Talk To Her Every Night, Before Bed
They were married for more than 75 years and knew each other for about 86 so I wasn’t surprised when Granpa told me he talked to grandma every night before bed.
Wasn’t a shock to hear him tell me how hard it was not to hold her hand and talk about whatever it is you talk about when you have seen and done it all together.
Sometimes I wonder why he died a week a before my sister’s wedding and why he couldn’t have held on one more week.
It is selfish of me but if he had asked my opinion I would have told him that grandma would have asked him to wait.
I would have told him we never stopped learning from him and thanked him for helping us to understand what The Most Valuable Possession is.
Would have told him that if grandma was around she’d make that one face, the one she did when she was irritated or upset with him.
We didn’t see it often but most of the time when we did we saw grandpaÂ adjustÂ his behavior immediately.
She was probably the only one he would do that for.
But every now and then she’d give him that look and he’d bark back at her and you’d see them work something out between them in silence.
Can’t tell you what it was because they didn’t need words, a look was enough.
Sometimes if I look across the room I swear I can see them sitting in their recliners, holding hands in silence and lost in their own world.
He kindly stopped for me â€“
The Carriage held but just Ourselves â€“
And Immortality.â€ â€• Emily Dickinson
I remember grandpa’s funeral, staring at my mother and aunt, wondering how they were doing.
Looking down at my son’s face, wondering what was going through his mind, thinking about my daughter and how to answer the questions she would have.
Wondering what my sister, the bride-to-be was thinking and whether this was as surreal and bizarre for everyone else as it was for me.
That crazy August where we sold the house, moved, said goodbye to grandpa and a week later celebrated my sister’s wedding.
I did my best to hold onto the Reflections of the Day-Gratitude.
There Is No Bedtime For Bloggers
It must be almost 1 and down the hall the teenage boy who calls me dad has finally gone to sleep. I know it happened before midnight, but it wasn’t as early as I wanted it to be.
He told me a while back he doesn’t need a bedtime anymore and I told him if he showed me he could handle that kind of responsibility I was cool with it.
Most of the time it seems to work just fine and I don’t worry about it.
But every now and then I worry about whether he is burning the candle at both ends and he tells me he is good and that he knows I keep crazy hours.
“There is no bedtime for bloggers and I am responsible for you.”
He tells me he doesn’t understand what being a blogger has to do with it and asks me if there is a difference between a writer and a blogger.
I tell him that a writer must write and that sometimes that requires doing it whenever the muse chooses to visit.
“But dad, you said you write when you are on deadline regardless of what is going on.”
“It is true, I do but sometimes the words flow more freely than others and IÂ pay close attention. Free flowing is a gift and you make hay while the sun shines.”
He tells me he doesn’t totally get it and I say it is ok.
“Trust me, I am your father.”
It is the kind of expression I try not to use too often because it is not substantive. It like responding with “because I said so.”
The funny thing is I don’t dislike it because I think children/people are entitled to something more but because I hate when people say that to me so I try not to do it.
Do I prefer to give my kids substantive answers?
Sure, always have but they haven’t always been in a position and sometimes still aren’t where they can understand it all.
Sometimes “because I said so” is all they need and are entitled to. When you clothe, feed and protect them there areÂ perksÂ that come with that.
How To Write Funny Posts That No One Will Read is the title of a post I once wrote.
I don’t know how many people read it before and if anyone will read it again. Can’t say how many or how few read my words at all.
I try my best to fill these pages with the more than just stuff. Some of it nonsense and some of it serious.
But the pauses are filled with me, with chunks and chips of me, who I am, who I was and maybe a hint of who I shall be.
Somewhere in it perhaps I’ll catch a glimpse of that which I seek and figure out if it matches what I see.
And maybe, just maybe someone who has seen behind the veil will catch sight of it too and recognize the piece they miss lies somewhere in between them and me.
Or maybe not.Sometimes 'because I said so' is all they need and are entitled to. Click To Tweet
Grandpa once said that every time he looked at grandma he saw the girl he fell in love with and that he never saw an old lady.
“Jack, in my dreams I can still carry her and we both can run through the water and dance in the waves. We may look old to you, but we are still young.”
There are great love stories all around us. Some of us have lived or are living them and others are on their way to experience them.
Sometimes the only way to find out who and what is to keep going. That is what grandpa did and that is what grandma would say to do.
No one comments on blog posts anymore, but maybe people still try to live.

Not just a drainage solution, Hydraway offers a superior methane venting strategy to protect investments in lagoons and other sites.
Methane and other gases can cause severe damage to liners underneath lagoons, landfills, and other infrastructure, but where does it come from? As organic matter such as dead plants and animals decays, bacteria release a mixture of carbon dioxide and methane. These byproducts of the decomposition process are unavoidable.
When this gas is trapped beneath a liner, it can build up and cause significant damage. Hydraway has solved that problem with our Hydravent methane venting system. The superiority of our Hydraway 2000 flat drain system can be applied for this purpose to protect your investment and increase the lifespan of your lagoon.
Hydravent offers superior compressive strength over other venting solutions. With the entire weight of the water in a lagoon or trash in a landfill pressing down, it is possible for other systems to become less effective, opening the door to potential damage. For this reason, Hydravent is also used under the LA tunnel system beneath the city.
Manmade lagoons can be some of the most beautiful parts of commercial and residential landscaping, and they can also be some of the most costly pieces of infrastructure to maintain. Particularly if repairs are required to the liner, the responsible party may have quite a mess on their hands.
Gas buildup under a lagoon liner is an expensive maintenance disaster waiting to happen. Decaying organic matter underneath your lagoon can be counted on to produce methane and other gases, but fortunately, there is an effective venting solution. Hydravent allows these gases to pass beyond your liner without letting water escape.
Our system also resists clogging from the dirt, silt, and organic matter that can be found at the bottom of a lagoon. This helps ensure the system functions indefinitely. All Hydraway systems boast a zero-percent failure rate when properly installed, offering confidence and peace of mind.
According to the EPA, landfill gases (LFGs) are the third-largest source of methane emissions in the United States. Generated in the same way as methane and other gases under lagoons, it is easy to imagine even more methane being generated by a landfill. Fortunately, methane can be used as a source of renewable energy.
Hydravent ensures that these gases are not trapped under the liners beneath landfills while not allowing toxins to seep into the groundwater and affect the ecosystem. After all, that’s the purpose of a landfill liner, and a two-way vent would not have the intended effect.
Once the liner is laid down and covered with waste, maintenance is extraordinarily difficult if not nearly impossible. No Hydraway system has ever failed due to a manufacturers’ defect, and that includes Hydravent.
For residential applications, venting may be the exact opposite approach you need to take. Damp crawl spaces and basements, for example, can be breeding grounds for foul odors or even dangerous levels of mold.
Hydraliner offers a barrier between livable or working areas and the bare ground or moisture-prone surfaces. Impenetrable to water vapor, mold, and other unwanted substances, Hydraliner is capable of transforming crawl spaces and similar areas into something more usable and attractive.
Hydravent is the only methane venting solution on the market today that has a reputation for such high success rates (zero failures when properly installed) and is backed by superior technical specifications.
Manmade lagoons and other types of infrastructure are hefty investments that should last years or even decades. To ensure that’s possible, you need to make every effort to reduce the risk of damage to the critical liner system that is the very foundation of these projects.
Hydraway technicians are always available to come out to your site to offer consultation and support. We can design the perfect methane venting solution to protect your investment. If you are looking for the best way to protect your investment, contact us using the form below.

|Author||Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips|
Marrying at an early age has become a taboo in almost every culture. Due to the parents, boys can't get married until they have an established job and girls can't get married to their proper matches. It is a social problem.
The way to cure this is to address the parents as well as the youth. Each one should know their responsibilities and limits.

I have re-invented myself so many times. It was hard work sometimes—and other times, not so hard—yet always, my re-inventions were the cadres that swept my life from one side of my Red Sea experiences to the other.
Always it was spirit-effort, swirled with my conscious-agreement to believe a high-thought, a daring idea, or a God-breath, that led to my becoming a new growth in the garden of myself. Likewise, daily, re-inventing my womanspace—daily, truly seeking my better way—was/is always about purposefully examining the ocean of psycho/ emotional/spiritual impulses inside of me, and seeking Spirit’s way to look at whatever I’m going through. Striving to think better thoughts about myself and my purpose in this world and learning to value my moments, hours, and days as gifts to be used purposefully—these are my personal principles of re-invention.
Most importantly, I have learned that re-invention involves only oneself and God. As we begin choosing our spirit-woman’s wisdom over our own reasoning and logic, Self aligns with Spirit in a way that results in our becoming wildly real and profoundly aware of the indisputable importance of our lives in the panoramic schema of things.
We are like marvelous gardens, you and I. We can bear fantastic fruit of many kinds. I have decided that I want to experience every possible color in the garden of me . . . and so I am willing to work for it. I want to be shade and I want to be edible. I want to be beautiful and mysterious and passionate. I want to defy all reason . . . and I will . . . because God has given that much power to me.
And the more I am aware of the spiritual significance of where I have been, what I’ve been through, and what I’ve already overcome, the more I am aware of my spirit-woman whispering the confirmation: “Yes, Baby Girl, you are fearfully and wonderfully made.” . . . convincing me that I am on piercing purpose and of fabulous reason.
So, what grows in the garden of you? Have you examined your womanspace lately?
Are you becoming aware of some of the notions that are reigning at the center of your consciousness and determining how you approach your life?
What do you believe about your Self and your life?
Have you chosen to be? And what will you choose to be? Dormant or free?
Good questions, huh?

from which I shrink with horror, if I ask all of you who are communicants to do your best to fit yourselves for Communion that day, and to join with us in that "Eucharistia" which is at once a blessing and a thanksgiving, in that solemn invocation of our dear Lord's presence amongst us to accept and sanctify from the very first the worship of our Chapel. And then at every after Eucharist, and, in due kind and degree—according to His promise to those who gather in His Name—at every after Service in the Chapel, let us, helped by its outward beauty, strive to realize the fact of His presence amongst us.
O God! unseen, yet ever near,
Thy presence may we feel;
And so, inspired with holy fear,
Before Thine Altar kneel.
If we fail, brethren, in faith to realize this presence of our Lord amongst us, we miss what would be unspeakably precious, a comfort in sorrow, a refuge in temptation, a terror to sin, a sanctification in happiness, a stimulus to effort, an opportunity for seeking guidance and counsel: His presence would give us "the heart" both "to love and to dread Him." I would add, let our acknowledgment of it find its natural outward expression. I thank you, brethren, for my own part, and may I say for His sake, and for your own, for the general reverence of behaviour in Chapel. Let us maintain it and perfect it. I do not mean to ask individuals to seek new or marked

Llusià J., Peñuelas J., Gimeno B.S. (2002) Seasonal and species-specific response of VOC emissions by Mediterranean woody plant to elevated ozone concentrations. Atmospheric Environment. 36: 3931-3938.EnllaçDoi: 10.1016/S1352-2310(02)00321-7
Although certain factors controlling plant emission rates of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are reasonably well understood, the influence of elevated ozone concentrations as abiotic stress is mostly unknown. Therefore, we studied the effects of ozone concentrations on seasonal biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions by different Mediterranean plant species in open top chambers (OTC). Three ozone treatments were established: filtered air (F), non-filtered air (NF), and fumigated air (NF+) adding 40nll-1 of ozone over NF. We studied the response of VOC emission in saplings of four Mediterranean woody plant species and subspecies: Ceratonia siliqua L., Olea europaea L., Quercus ilex spp. ilex L., and Quercus ilex spp. rotundifolia L. as representative of natural Mediterranean vegetation. No visible symptoms were detected on the leaves. No significant effect was found on net photosynthetic rates or stomatal conductance except for an increase in net photosynthetic rates in Quercus ilex ilex in spring and summer and an overall slight increase in Quercus ilex rotundifolia. Emissions of the total VOCs from Ceratonia siliqua in summer, and from Olea europaea and Quercus ilex rotundifolia in spring increased in ozone fumigated OTC in comparison with F or NF OTC. Decreased emissions were found in Quercus ilex rotundifolia in summer. There were no significant differences between ozone fumigation treatments for the other plant species and seasons. When considering particular VOCs, the results were also variable among species and time of the year. While α-pinene emissions decreased with ozone fumigation in Olea europaea, α-pinene and limonene emissions increased in Quercus ilex ilex. The responses of these particular VOCs did not always match the responses of total VOCs. In spite of this strong variability, when considering overall annual data for all species and seasons, there were increased net photosynthetic rates (37%) and limonene (95%) and total VOC (45%) emission rates in ozone-fumigated plants, whereas stomatal conductance did not change. Since VOCs are precursors of ozone, the increase in BVOC emission as a consequence of elevated tropospheric ozone concentrations may lead to positive feedback mechanisms in ozone formation. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The functions of two important plant processes, photorespiration and monoterpene production remain controversial. Here, we investigated one possible function, that of protection of plants from photodamage at high temperatures. Fluorescence, reflectance, monoterpene concentrations and visual leaf damage were measured in Quercus ilex seedlings exposed to temperature increases from 25 to 50°C (in 5°C steps) under photorespiratory (21% O2) or nonphotorespiratory (2% O2) atmospheres, and under control or terpene fumigation conditions. Lower variable to maximum fluorescence ratio (Fv:Fm: potential photochemical efficiency of photosystem II, PSII) and electron transport rate (ETR) were found in nonphotorespiratory conditions at temperatures greater than 35°C. Monoterpene concentrations were also lower, and leaf damage greater, in the low O2 atmospheres. Monoterpene fumigation, which increased the foliar terpene concentrations by two- to four-fold, increased the photochemical efficiency between 35°C and 50°C, and decreased leaf damage, only under the nonphotorespiratory conditions. These results provide evidence that: photorespiration decreases photodamage, especially at high temperatures; photorespiration increases monoterpene production; plants are able to acquire exogenous monoterpenes and the acquisition response to temperature follows the stomatal conductance response; and monoterpenes can replace photorespiration in protection from photodamage at high temperatures, possibly by scavenging oxygen-reactive species, but they do not provide additional thermotolerance. © New Phytologist (2002).

ReadersMagnet Review takes a closer look at Thomas “Jerry” Delaney’s Bannack: A Growing Up Story In The Vigilante West.
Western fiction or American West literature is a genre of fiction and non-fiction that features narratives of the “Old West” frontier, covering the period between 1860 and 1900. The setting or location characterizes the said genre. Novels and stories are set in Kentucky, Ohio, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, and Alaska. The region is known for its majestic mountains, harsh winters, and vast landscapes, and wilderness. Many of the genre’s storylines involve the harsh but beautiful environment, the exploits of legendary heroes and outlaws, and the life of everyday people of the Western frontier during these times. Most characters include cowboys, sheriffs, ranchers, outlaws, and frontiersmen. Today, ReadersMagnet Review will feature a recently published Western novel entitled Bannack: A Growing Up Story In The Vigilante West by Jerry Delaney.
Of Legendary Outlaws and Western Vigilantism
Thomas “Jerry” Delaney’s Bannack: A Growing Up Story In The Vigilante West is an extraordinary historical drama set in Montana during the Civil War years. It is a coming-of-age Western fiction that tells the legendary journey of Billy Mayfair, a sixteen-year-old whose life reflects the harsh realities of the Western frontier during the time. The title is derived from the infamous ghost town in n Beaverhead County, Montana. Bannack is known for its goldfields and history of violence. Through the story of Mayfair, Delaney takes the readers back to the time when Bannack was still Montana’s first territorial capital and the site of gold bloom.
Kicked out of his home in Illinois by his own father, Billy Mayfair sets on a life of adventure with hopes of finding good fortune in gold. He struggles to get a decent job until the war brought him an opportunity. He landed a job in a Union hospital during the height of the Civil War. He then traveled north to Fort Benton and eventually settled in the town of Bannack. The story mostly takes place in the said town. The remote settlement becomes Mayfair’s home, and here he meets a lot of people, including the sheriff, which will have a significant impact on his life story.
“While in St. Louis, he loses his money and virginity, gets in a fight, and lands in jail. But he manages to save enough working in a Union hospital caring for Civil War causalities to book passage on a streamer headed 2,000 miles north of Fort Benton. Panning for gold and living in the wild hard-drinking town of Bannack, he becomes a friend of the sheriff, who will become known in the official record as the most notorious outlaw in Montana history: twenty-one men are hanged in less than a month’s time.
What makes this story unique is that it gives voice to the victims as well as the victors of this actual event.” (excerpt from book description)
Overall, Jerry Delaney’s Bannack is a well-research and well-paced Western fiction with all the complete recipes of a superb Western novel- drama, adventure, politics, action, and picturesque landscapes. For fans of Western cowboy narratives and American history. Bannack: A Growing Up Story In The Vigilante West will prove to be an outstanding novel you would want to read more than once.

Greetings to a brand new week full of events, economic releases and US debt frictions. We are here to tell you everything you need to know!
Progress in US Debt Talks, Gold Is Down
Good Tuesday, dear traders! It’s the middle of May, and we are happy to be with you. Let’s consider news important for your trading decisions.
What moves the market
- US President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy discussed the debt limit yesterday after another round of talks. The meeting was productive but didn’t lead to a deal. They will keep negotiating to avert a catastrophic US default.
- JPMorgan plans to spend $15.7 billion in 2023 on recruitment, marketing, and technology investing.
- According to Morgan Stanley’s CIO, investors should be careful with US500, as it’s too early to talk about the bullish trend, and multiple risks remain.
- Britain’s PMI came out lower than in the previous month. Composite PMI reached 53.9, Manufacturing PMI dropped to 46.9, and Services PMI reached 55.1.
- After testing the resistance at 1980, gold fell lower. The support in the focus of sellers lies at 1950.
BTCUSD Technical Analysis
Bitcoin has reached the upper border of the consolidation range at 27 500 (100-period SMA). Now we can expect a downward movement to the lower border of the rectangle pattern at 26 500.
Have a great trading session!
The US dollar index breaks one resistance after another. Read the report to learn the next target for the US dollar index!
The United States has one week before default, and NVIDIA may become the next Tesla. What else drives the market?
The situation on the labor market still looks optimistic. Today we expect the Unemployment rate data. 3.5% is expected.
The first day of June should’ve brought us the US default. Unsurprisingly, the US House passes the debt ceiling bill at the latest possible moment.
About 24% of global central banks intend to increase gold reserves in 2023. Rising inflation, geopolitical turmoil, and worries about interest rates are reasons to increase gold reserves.

Blue Economy CRC Research Director, Professor Irene Penesis and CEO Dr John Whittington have published a chapter about Australia’s Blue Economy CRC in a new book ‘Preparing a Workforce for the New Blue Economy: People, Products and Policies’.
The book discusses the new Blue Economy, how industries will develop, and how to train the next generation. The book provides a broad range of case studies, covering oil spills, commercial fishing, data protection and harvesting, sustainability and weather forecasting, all presented to highlight the educational requirements of the future workforce and potential economic opportunities.
The book chapter by Irene and John outlines opportunities in Australia’s new Blue Economy industries focusing on offshore aquaculture and offshore renewable energy and the role of the Blue Economy CRC in realising those.
The new blue economy (NBE) is implicit in the research and training focus of the Blue Economy CRC. The Blue Economy CRC’s vision of seeing aquaculture and renewable energy moving further offshore is predicated on the NBE. That is, the development of new technologies – autonomous systems, sensors, numerical models, advances in cloud computing – will unlock our ability to measure, model and predict our oceans, fish stocks and structures, and generate the data needed to inform future application, decision making and addresses challenges in real time. Hence, the development of the NBE (and application of the knowledge-based products generated) will allow traditional blue economy industries to transition into new environments and sustainably grow in ways that are not currently possible.

Ask questionsno override and no default toolchain set
I was attempting to update spotify-tui but this error popped up:
error: no override and no default toolchain set ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... Build failed with exit code 4 in /home/redacted/.cache/rua/build/spotify-tui
I've set the default toolchain to stable via rustup (
rustup default stable) but the error persists. I'm assuming I need to give rua access to something?
Answer questions vn971
If you want to build fully isolated without assuming anything from HOME directory (e.g. existence of the toolchain), you can modify PKGBUILD to use code like that:
RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable cargo build --release ....
This is actually the preferred way to write AUR packages, because there are potentially many users who are not yet very familiar with Rust. They will have rustup installed, but not the stable toolchain, and thus nothing in their HOME yet.
