35 Viral News Stories From 2014 That Were Actually Totally Untrue The internet sits on a throne of lies. 2. You cannot charge your iPhone 6 by putting it in the microwave because that will actually destroy your iPhone and your microwave. 8. That time a teenager working in Target became a huge meme was not a marketing stunt; the claim that it was a marketing stunt was, in fact, a marketing stunt. 35. And nobody actually said “fuck her right in the pussy” on live TV, because it was a hoax, except then people started saying it anyway, so now it is real again. This post has been updated from 27 things to 35 things, to reflect the fact that we remembered a load of other stuff that wasn't true in 2014. The list is still not exhaustive.

2020 was the year of the crypto industry without a shadow of doubt. Bitcoin rose exponentially, posting over 300 percent in gains throughout the year. Market activity has also risen significantly, showing that the crypto industry is no longer just a fad that people call on when they’re trying to make themselves feel better. The legitimacy of the crypto market has been helped significantly by institutional investors. These are essentially high-net-worth individuals and large companies that provide huge investments into an asset. In 2020, several public companies made the move to Bitcoin, converting their reserves and asset bases to the currency and allowing it to grow even higher many believe that the action of institutional investors in the industry was primarily what caused the crypto market to rebound. In a sense, there is truth in this. While it will be unwise to discount the role of retail investors, institutional investors definitely made the biggest splash. MicroStrategy is a Whale Among Whales However, when it comes to institutions, hardly did any company make as much an impact as MicroStrategy. The company is the world’s leading provider of cloud-based business intelligence solutions, and it moved into the crypto market with the force last year. MicroStrategy’s purchase began in August. At the time, the company explained that it believed strongly in Bitcon’s value as a store of wealth and a hedge against inflation. So, it purchased $250 million worth of the asset – at a time when Bitcoin traded at below $10,000. Less than a month later, MicroSTrategy bought even more, adding another $175 million to its purchase for a total $425 million Bitcoin haul. Ideally, a purchase of that nature seemed outlandish. Even if a company believed in crypto, it was insane to see how much MicroStrategy was shelling into Bitcoin just because of its belief in it. Still, the firm appeared to be benefiting from it. When Bitcoin began its rally in October, MicroStrategy was able to multiply its holdings significantly. Suddenly, the decision to purchase Bitcoin didn’t seem like such an outlandish one anymore. While many would have stopped, MicroStrategy didn’t in December, the company announced that it had raised $650 million through the sale of convertible senior notes. The bond sale netted more than the proposed $400 million that MicroStrategy considered, and the company claimed that it would use most of the funds to purchase more Bitcoin. “MicroStrategy intends to invest the net proceeds from the sale of the notes in bitcoin in accordance with its Treasury Reserve Policy pending identification of working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.” It’s worth pointing out that MicroStrategy hasn’t been the only company making significant waves in institutional investment. Several other firms have incorporated Bitcoin into their reserves, including British asset management firm Ruffer Investments ($750 million) and payment processor Square ($50 million). MassMutuaal, a Boston-based insurance company, also purchased $100 million worth of Bitcoin in November. Pushing for More Adoption However, no one seems to be quite interested in Bitcoin quite as much as MicroStrategy. Michael Saylor, the company’s chief executive, has pumped the leading cryptocurrency at any chance he can get, touting it as a safe haven investment and something that everyone should get into. That leads to why MicroStrategy has been so incredible. While most institutional investors just buy Bitcoin and hodl, MicroStrategy has been advocating for more people and companies to purchase it. The firm is quite literally evangelizing the currency. For example, According to the stats provided by Tokpie exchange, the interest to Bitcoin from retail investors who buy cryptocurrency first time with the bank cards has tripled in Jan-Feb 2021 comparing to the same period of the last year. Take last December, for example. When Bitcoin first broke the $20,000 barrier for the first time, Elon Musk tweeted a meme about his attraction to the currency. Saylor immediately jumped on the tweet, asking that Musk should convert Tesla’s shares into Bitcoin. When Musk asked if such a large transaction was even possible, Saylor offered to share his “playbook” with the billionaire. As he explained, MicroStrategy already bought over $1.3 billion worth of Bitcoin, and they managed to do it without moving the market (hint: Coinbase helped a bit with that) That push for Musk appeared to have inspired Saylor, who went on to launch an initiative known as “Bitcoin for Corporations.” The conference will run between February 3rd and 4th, and it is completely free. Essentially, it teaches companies how best to toe MicroStrategy’s line and invest heavily in Bitcoin. Moreover, looking on how billionaires are falling in love with Bitcoin, ordinary people are starting to try crypto without making investments. Thanks to the solutions like BountyMarketCap bounty-tracker, an average person can earn cryptocurrencies for free by doing simple tasks online. And that’s good for the whole blockchain industry. While MicroStrategy continues to push for adoption, the firm has continued with its purchases. Last month, with Bitcoin coming off a rally that saw it hit a new all-time high of $42,000, MicroStrategy immediately bought the dip, investing a further $10 million into the asset. That amount might pale in comparison to the millions it committed before, but it’s still something. Considering all of this, there is no question that the relationship between Bitcoin and MicroStrategy has been mutually beneficial. The company has raised the value of its reserves significantly since August 2020, and it has played a significant rise in the leading cryptocurrency’s rise to prominence.

So … last month somebody snapped a shot of metal icon Danzig leaving the grocery store with a box of kitty litter. It seems Fresh Step's taken notice, because they've got a new spokesperson. A West Coast Sound reader going by Danziggy left us a comment on our original post linking to a video by YouTube user CabbagePatchacha (we assume they're one and the same), that casts Danzig as an advocate for the brand. Starring “Mother”-era Danzig (wearing a kitty mask), some satisfied feline customers, and a giant pile of cat dookie in the shape of a pentagram. Oh, and wait 'til you hear him meow. Okay, we NOW officially declare this a dead meme. Play him off, Keyboard Cat.

Powered By Square1.io If you consider yourself a music fan at all and spent any time on the Twittersphere last month, you’d have been hard pressed to have avoided the social media “fallout” that followed Johnny Borrell’s quite funny Noisey interview in which the former Razorlight frontman offered a scathing deconstruction of the era in which he peaked. Borrell candidly serves up the “definitive history of landfill Indie”, even going as far as to state that his own band’s ninth single ‘Before I Fall To Pieces’ “totally fucked it up for everyone”. As if anyone thought the survival of an entire genre hinged on the shoulders of the fucking lads who gave us feathery-soft rock earworm ‘America’. Admittedly, Borrell is being playfully hyperbolic and his musings can be surprisingly revealing about an increasingly disregarded period for rock. The best part though, was the #indieamnesty hashtag that began trending online with many closeted noughties fans emerging from the woodwork and expressing their repressed guilt through bitesize anecdotes of their misinformed fandom. On Twitter, people revealed landfill secrets like “lost a trilby at Bambyshambles gig” and “sung along to The Others’ ‘This Is For The Poor’. Wasn’t poor”. Not me though, I came out of my mother’s womb already obsessed with Galaxie 500 B-sides and fretting about the break-up of Talking Heads. I, did, however, have a ‘friend’ who may have had The Fratellis’ ‘Chelsea Dagger’ set as their Bebo flash box. Still though, is this near universal cringing fair? Does a decade’s worth of indie deserve to be reduced to a wince-inducing meme? Another inevitable result of the Johnny Borrell interview was the nostalgic longing for the better days of the early 90’s when rock was a cultural force; authentic and free from the constraints of industry involvement. Of course, this was not strictly or even remotely true and back then, critics were offering the same kind of backlash as Borrell is now. Some unwarranted, some warranted. One of the most creative and scathing assaults on the hypocrisy of the grunge era was found in the form of ‘Cut Your Hair’, Pavement’s minuscule hit of an alt-rock single. At the absurd, ubiquitous heights of guitar rock, Stephen Malkmus and co. weren’t afraid to call the scene out for what it could be – just as vacuous and commercial-driven as any other era that came before or after. The alt-rock explosion that took place after something called ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ reached the No 1 spot was unique in how it saw itself. Its followers felt that, for the first time, the mainstream belonged to the ears of its listeners and that they had been rescued from the superficial showmanship of 80s hair metal. The reality, however, was a touch greyer than that. The major labels may have been dumbfounded by this sudden cultural 180 at first, but they soon shifted focus in order to exploit another burgeoning market. Steve Albini, legendary producer and unrelenting cynic, famously wrote an essay in 1993 entitled The Problem with Music that opened with an image of bands voluntarily swimming through a trench “filled with runny, decaying shit”, as they all vie for a major label contract at the far side. Albini may be about as cheery as a Chernobyl walkabout, but when he’s right, he tends to be very right. Hordes of smaller, now mostly-forgotten bands were being signed and chewed up by the system. The bubble was always going to burst and Pavement knew it. ‘Cut Your Hair’ is a wicked send up to the oxymoron of a concept that is the alternative rock hit. Its simple structure, gloriously goofy “ooh-ooh-ooh”s and mocking chorus make it sound like the pandering audition tape that would by binned by reception at Universal, never to reach even the lowest rung of the A&R department. But there’s a simple reason that ‘Cut Your Hair’ endures so much better than the songs it parodies – Pavement were just that much better than everyone else. The more conventional jock rock of ‘Cut Your Hair’ may be a marked departure from the crackling lo-fi of Slanted & Enchanted, but Malkmus’ lyricism is just as sardonic, savvy and silly. His words skewer a generation not just for its over-saturation, but also its self-aggrandising. “Bands start up each and every day / I saw another one just the other day / A special new band”. Everyone thought that the groups they saw were the new leaders of a movement, but if they were all ‘special’, then surely none of them were. What irked Malkmus, however, seemed to be the false pretence that it was the music that mattered most. What he saw around him around him was a culture so intent on appearing anti-image that it became obsessed with image in its own right. He chastises the arbitrary rules that were expected to be followed (“Advertising looks and chops a must / No big hair!”) and the feigned, fashionable apathy (“I don’t care / I don’t care / Did you see the drummer’s hair?”). At one point, Malkmus is also tragically prescient. “Hesitate to die, look around, around / the second drummer’s drowned / His telephone is found”. The line is both a light jibe at the band’s replacement drummer (Bob Nostacovich) and a comment on how music can fetishise the premature deaths of its brightest stars. ‘Cut Your Hair’ was released in February 1994, with Kurt Cobain taking his own life just two months later, giving grunge its own tragic hero to grotesquely mythologise for decades. His final lament of “Attention and fame’s a career” is also especially resonant: I wonder how Malkmus feels about it now, considering we now live in the age of YouTube celebrity and the Kardashians. It may not the bands best song – hell, it’s not even the best song on Crooked Rain – but I’d be lying if I said it’s undeniably cocky charm doesn’t continue to make me grin. A song chastising the commercialism of the music of its era becomes the closest thing to the hit Pavement would never have and you’d imagine the irony was not lost on the band. Perhaps rather, this was Pavement showing us they could play the game, even when they knew it was rigged. More than anything, the song is proof that every generation has its naysayers. ‘Cut Your Hair’, like Borrell’s interview, only shows one side of an era. Maybe guitar rock was better in 1994, but to say The Kooks are the face of noughties indie is like saying Spin doctors defined 90s alternative scene. And if Borrell was right, and those mid-2000s works are destined for a landfill, then the existence of something like indieamnesty still demonstrates how value is what you make of it. And anyway, whatever musical era you reside in, Malkmus offers one eternal truth that will always be relevant: “Songs mean a lot, when songs are bought”.

Search the Community Showing results for tags ''Veruz''. Found 1 result The truth is, there really is no such thing as an overnight success in the world of poker. Sure, some people are hit with the deck and take home a tournament win for big money, or go on a heater in a cash game - it happens. But sustained success in poker, the kind that gets a player recognized by their peers, takes dedication to the game and plenty of time. For some in the poker community, the recent rise of Alex ‘Veruz’ Butcher to the top of the U.S. Online Poker Rankings may have looked sudden, even out of nowhere. But for Butcher, the 26-year old poker pro, it was hard work in every aspect of his life that allowed him to get where he is today. Originally from Michigan, Butcher first discovered the game of poker simply through hanging out and doing "family stuff" on weekend nights. Stuff like playing cards with his father. It wasn’t until many years later, when he was attending community college, that he discovered a deeper enjoyment of the game. “In Michigan, they have what they call charity halls. They’re mostly just little $1/$2 card rooms within the state where some portion [of the proceeds] goes to charity or whatnot,” Butcher said. “I met a couple of friends and just started playing with them in a little bit there. It’s where I really got my inauguration into poker.” His studies turned from academics to poker and soon after he decided to take a break from college to see where poker would take him. At first, it brought him to Las Vegas to play. But with more online poker options available in New Jersey, Butcher was motivated to move to the Garden State with an eye on grinding. And he did just that. One look at his career online results paint a picture of a player who rarely takes a break, registering for every tournament he can every day of the week. By May of 2020, his resolve was beginning to pay off. A win in a WSOP.com Weekly Tuesday brought him his first five-figure score of the year. Once that barrier was broken, the flood gates opened. Butcher’s graph took a sharp turn upwards as he accumulated 17 five-figure scores in the last nine months, 12 of which were outright victories in some of the biggest tournaments offered in New Jersey. “As far as my results skyrocketing a little bit in the past year or so, for me, a lot of that was some mental health stuff that was holding me back. Just some struggles with anxiety and depression that I really hadn’t properly addressed at any point,” Butcher said. “So I’d go through these ebbs and flows or up and down, up and down. It was really tough for me to be consistent. So I would play and I would have good results, but the consistency wasn’t really there to really put everything together. “So now I’ve gone from maybe one week out of the month where it’s a good month, or a good time for me mentally, to maybe one or two days out of the month where I struggle. Pretty huge difference. That’s been the biggest change for me. I think most of my friends around me have always thought the potential was there, but it’s tough to see your potential if you’re only locked in mentally to what you’re doing ‘some’ amount of the time versus always.” The change for Butcher has been undeniable with a steady stream of deep runs that any poker player would envy. This includes when, at the end of January, Butcher hit a career milestone when he outlasted the 285-entry field in Event #16 of the WSOP.com Circuit Super Series to earn his first WSOP gold ring, something that had been eluding him for some time. It’s a victory that Butcher talks about with a healthy dose of humility and perspective. “Normally that would be a really great moment, and it was, but I have had so many opportunities recently in those that it got to be almost like a joke for me. The first one that they ran this year, I think I was at the final two tables maybe 13 times and I didn’t final table a single one of them,” he said. “So it got almost meme-ish to a point…and it was a turbo. So I have a hard time assigning too much meaning to stuff like that. Turbos are so fickle, you got to run good…and I know I definitely did. So there could have been a more prestigious or more fulfilling first title, but it just feels good to get the monkey off the back, so to speak.” But with enviable results sometimes come actual envy and perhaps undue speculation as to how a player is able to achieve what some others can’t or don’t. While in Florida at a live event, preparing to get some sleep before a $5K the next day, he noticed some talk on social media questioning his results. The kind of talk that would keep a player awake at night. Another player was throwing out accusations that Butcher’s recent results were due to the use of real-time assistance (or some other method) as opposed to Butcher taking the time to take care of his own health. All of a sudden, Butcher, who comes off as thoughtful and somewhat quiet, was forced to defend his talent and reputation. “It’s just a scary feeling that maybe you’re not going to have a voice. I know that these rumors had spread amongst the community…It was something that a lot of people were hearing about and taking to be true so I was concerned from that standpoint. I’m pretty unknown, I keep to myself and now I’ve got these accusations flooding out that paint me in a negative light when I’ve done nothing to bring that upon myself. I think people get jealous pretty easily in this game and to look at some results that are pretty outlandish and think ‘Well, WTF, there’s got to be something going on.” “So the big thing for me was just trying to take that and steer it in a direction where the conversation was more about how people spread misinformation and will take things that are not factual and basically put their stamp on it on social media as if it’s factual.“ While it was a hard time for Butcher, one that elicited “an emotional reaction” from him, it was his goal to try and turn it into a positive and bring about a conversation on how the poker community should be celebrating each other as opposed to taking to social media to tear each other down. In the end, the player who initially brought this allegation against Butcher fully recanted and posted a public apology on Twitter. Butcher has moved on. Literally. After years of grinding the online scene in New Jersey, he is in the midst of a move back to Las Vegas where he plans on continuing to play on WSOP.com but also expanding his poker network and diving into the live tournament scene as it begins to open back up. His first stop was the World Poker Tour Venetian Main Event where he hoped to build out his live poker resume, which as opposed to his online credentials, he admits could use a little expansion. “I don’t have many live results just because when you’re coming up, there’s more value in playing those $55’s and $109’s on a nightly basis. You just get more reps, more practice. I think there’s a lot of benefits to it,” he said. “Now when I go play live, just as far as the buy-ins I play, I’m not trying to brag by any means, but it needs to be worth it. Something like a $400 or $600 is not something that’s going to get me out of the house to go play at this point, just because the hourly doesn’t make sense for me.” [caption id="attachment_634059" align="aligncenter" width="750"] Alex Butcher returned to Las Vegas to play in the WPT Venetian $5K.[/caption] That being said, Butcher does have plenty of live poker aspirations including playing in some of the bigger cash games offered in Las Vegas as well as larger tournament series, like the World Series of Poker. And if an invite to one of Las Vegas’ famous private games comes his way, well, Butcher won’t turn it down. So while the recent returns for Butcher have been good to him, and a return move to Las Vegas is exciting for his poker future, he’s determined to stay level-headed about it all. For every big win that people see, there are losses that come with it. Even though he's on the upswing today, tomorrow may bring some on-the-felt hardships. “This game’s really hard. If you’re swinging on that emotional pendulum all the time and not processing things from a logical base, it’s really hard to do well. Just going through emotional swings on a day-to-day basis outside of poker is hard. Then, on top of that, when you’re playing these games, you have to be at your A-game highest level all the time. You just have to have a good head on your shoulders. It’s super vital, something I definitely take pride in, but not something I was always good at. I think this is part of the process to get to this level and be able to play these games consistently…you have to be able to take the losses, those minus $15K days, the same way you do the plus $20K.” It’s been five years of intense dedication to poker for Butcher, but he insists that this is just the beginning. “I would like to think that I’m in it for the long haul. I have a great passion for the game,” he said. “I watch myself play and I just know that there’s so much stuff I can do better in the game, I know how much room for improvement is available.”

Here you can change the look and feel of Pleroma-FE. You can choose from several instance-provided presets and you can load one from file and save current theme to file. Before you apply new theme you can see what it will look like approximately in preview section. The themes engine was made to be easy to use while giving an option for powerful in-depth customization - you can just tweak colors on "Common" tab and leave everything else as is. If there's a little check box next to a color picker it means that color is optional and unless checked will be automatically picked based on some other color or defaults. For some features you can also adjust transparency of it by changing its opacity, you just need to tick checkbox next to it, otherwise it will be using default opacity. Contrast information is also provided - you can see how readable text is based on contrast between text color and background, icons under color pickers represent contrast rating based on WCAG - thumbs up means AAA rating (good), half-filled circle means AA rating (acceptable) and warning icon means it doesn't pass the minimal contrast requirement and probably will be less readable, especially for vision-challenged people, you can hover over icon to see more detailed information. Please note that if background is not opaque (opacity != 1) contrast will be measured based on "worst case scenario", i.e. behind semi-transparent background lies some solid color that makes text harder to read, this however is still inaccurate because it doesn't account that background can be noisy/busy, making text even harder to read. Apart from colors you can also tweak shadow and lighting, which is used mostly to give buttons proper relief based on their state, give panes their shade, make things glow etc. It's quite powerful, and basically provides somewhat convenient interface for CSS Shadows. Another thing you can tweak is theme's roundness - some people like sharp edges, some want things more rounded. This is also used if you want circled or square avatars. Lastly, you can redefine fonts used in UI without changing fonts in your browser or system, this however requires you to enter font's full name and having that font installed on your system. This screen allows more fine-grained control over what notifications to show to you based on whom it comes from. This allows you to export and import a list of people you follow and block, in case instance's database gets reverted or if you want to move to another server. Note that you CANNOT export/import list of people who follow you, they'll need to follow you back themselves. Mutes and Blocks¶ These screens give access to full list of people you block/mute, useful for unblocking/unmuting people because blocking/muting them most likely removes them out of your sight completely. Just displays the backend and frontend version. Useful to mention in bug reports.

“All sorrows are less with bread. ~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote” Summer is winding down and the last of the tomatoes are getting ready to be taken off the vine before the frost gets them. It doesn’t mean that we can’t have a last taste of summer though. This bruschetta was perfect for a light supper when I was too tired to cook, paired with a yummy tomato soup. This is this week’s entry to the Food Quote Meme.

This post was written for Convergence Analysis. We introduce the concept of memetic downside risks (MDR): risks of unintended negative effects that arise from how ideas “evolve” over time (as a result of replication, mutation, and selection). We discuss how this concept relates to the existing concepts of memetics, downside risks, and information hazards. We then outline four “directions” in which ideas may evolve: towards simplicity, salience, usefulness, and perceived usefulness. For each “direction”, we give an example to illustrate how an idea mutating in that direction could have negative effects. We then discuss some implications of these ideas for people and organisations trying to improve the world, who wish to achieve their altruistic objectives and minimise the unintended harms they cause. For example, we argue that the possibility of memetic downside risks increases the value of caution about what and how to communicate, and of “high-fidelity” methods of communication. Background and concept Wikipedia describes a meme as: an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture—often with the aim of conveying a particular phenomenon, theme, or meaning represented by the meme. A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. The same article goes on to say: Proponents [of the concept of memes] theorize that memes are a viral phenomenon that may evolve by natural selection in a manner analogous to that of biological evolution. Memes do this through the processes of variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance, each of which influences a meme's reproductive success. Memes spread through the behavior that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse) mutate. Memes that replicate most effectively enjoy more success, and some may replicate effectively even when they prove to be detrimental to the welfare of their hosts. In an earlier article, we discussed the concept of a downside risk, which we roughly defined as a “risk (or possibility) that there may be a negative effect of something that is overall good, or that was expected or intended to be good”. Essentially, a downside risk is a risk that a given action will lead to an unintended negative effect (i.e., will lead to a downside effect). We can thus visually represent downside risks, in relation to other types of possibilities (e.g., the possibility of an intended positive effect), as shown in the following diagram: This diagram also includes some examples to illustrate each type of possibility. The diagram is adapted from our previous post, which provides further details and explanation. If an action poses a downside risk, this reduces its expected value. But the downside risk won’t necessarily make the action’s expected value negative, as the potential benefits may outweigh the risks. Memetic downside risks We propose bringing the concepts of memetics and downside risks together in the concept of memetic downside risks (MDRs), defined as risks of unintended negative effects that arise from how ideas “evolve” over time (as a result of replication, mutation, and selection). In other words, MDRs are a subset of all downside risks, covering the cases in which the cause of the negative effects would be how ideas evolve over time. We can thus add MDRs (along with an illustrative example) within the bottom right section of the above diagram, as shown below: Note that we use the term “ideas” quite broadly here, such that it includes true information, false information, normative claims (e.g., “the suffering of non-human animals is bad”), concepts and constructs, plans and methodologies (e.g., the lean startup methodology), etc. For our present purposes, we would also refer to each different way of stating, framing, or presenting an idea as an individual idea or as a “version” or “variant” of that idea. We’ll now illustrate the concept of MDRs with an example. 80,000 Hours popularised the idea of “earning to give”: aiming to earn more money in order to donate more to effective organisations or important causes. 80,000 Hours “always believed, however, that earning to give is just one strategy among many, and [they] think that a minority of people should pursue it.” Unfortunately, according to 80,000 Hours, they have come to be seen “primarily as the people who advocate for earning to give. [...] The cost is that we’ve put off people who would have been interested in us otherwise.” It seems likely to us that popularising the idea of earning to give would have had few downsides if the idea was always understood in its intended form, in context alongside 80,000 Hours’ other views. However, as the idea was spread (i.e., as it replicated), some simplifications or misinterpretations of the idea and how it fit alongside 80,000 Hours’ other advice occurred (i.e., the idea mutated). Gradually, these distorted versions of the idea became more prominent, seemingly because they were more attention-grabbing (so the media preferred to use them), and they were more memorable (so these versions of the ideas were more likely to stick in people’s minds and be available for further sharing later). That is, the selection pressures favoured these mutations. (See also Vaughan.) Thus, the “cost” 80,000 Hours notes seems to be an example of an unintended harm from the way in which an idea that was valuable in itself evolved. That is, it seems there was an (unrecognised) memetic downside risk, and that a memetic downside effect indeed occurred. We should make two things clear at this point: - We’re not arguing that developing and sharing the idea of earning to give was net negative. It’s entirely possible for an action to have a downside risk (or cause a downside effect), which is worth paying attention to and mitigating if possible, even if the overall expected value (or actual impact) is still positive. - We think that this concept of MDRs, and our later discussion of the directions in which ideas can evolve, is fairly commonsensical, and that various related ideas already exist. We don’t claim these ideas are groundbreaking, but rather that this is a potentially useful way to collect, frame, and extend various existing ideas. We’ve previously discussed the concept of an information hazard, as well as why it’s worth caring about potential information hazards, who should care about them, and some options for handling them. In essence, an information hazard is a “risk which arises from the dissemination or the potential dissemination of (true) information that may cause harm or enable some agent to cause harm” (Bostrom). There are many types of information hazards, such as “Data hazard[s]: Specific data, such as the genetic sequence of a lethal pathogen or a blueprint for making a thermonuclear weapon, if disseminated, create risk” (Bostrom). As discussed in our previous post, information hazards can be risks of unintended negative effects (in which case they are also downside risks), or of intended negative effects. Information hazards (and two illustrative examples) can thus be represented as the pink and purple sections of the below diagram: Relationship between MDRs and information hazards As noted above, we define MDRs as risks of harm from how ideas evolve over time, with “ideas” including true information, but also including false information and ideas that aren’t well-described as true or false (e.g., plans and methodologies). Thus, some MDRs will also be information hazards, but others will not be. For instance, compared to the claims of mainstream medicine, the claims of alternative medicine may often seem: - For example, the claims may draw on existing and plausible-seeming superstitions, rather than on complicated biological mechanisms. - For example, the claims may be confident assertions that all diseases will be cured by a given treatment, rather than that there’s a certain probability that particular diseases would be cured. As noted in the next section, selection pressures may favour ideas that are simpler and that are perceived as more useful. This may help explain why ideas related to alternative medicine continue to be widely believed, despite lacking evidence and often being harmful (e.g., through side effects, costs, or decreasing the use of mainstream medicine). If so, this would be a case of harm from MDRs (i.e., harms from how ideas evolved over time), but not a case of harm from information hazards, because the harm-inducing information was not true. Likewise, some information hazards will also be MDRs, but others won’t be. This is despite the fact that any true information can be considered an “idea” (as we use the term). This is because not all harms from information hazards would be due to how ideas evolve over time. For example, it would be risky to share “the genetic sequence of a lethal pathogen or a blueprint for making a thermonuclear weapon” (Bostrom) to a person who might themselves use this information in a directly dangerous way. This is the case even if there’s no possibility that the recipient of the information would share the information further, or that the person would receive or share a distorted version of the information. Thus, this is an information hazard even if there is no chance of replications, mutations, or selection pressures. Thus, neither information hazards nor MDRs are a subset of the other. But the category of MDRs overlaps substantially with the category of unintended information hazards. This can be represented in the following Venn diagram (which once again provides examples for illustration): Directions in which ideas will often evolve We believe that ideas will often “evolve” towards simplicity, salience, usefulness, and perceived usefulness. Each of these directions represents a selection pressure acting on the population of ideas. Below, we will explain why we think it is likely that evolution in each of those four directions will often occur, and how such evolution could result in unintended harm. Then, in the final section, we will discuss some implications of these ideas for people and organisations trying to improve the world, who wish to achieve their altruistic objectives and minimise the unintended harms they cause. Some quick caveats first: - The evolution of ideas in these directions will not necessarily cause harm, and could sometimes be beneficial. - We doubt that our list is exhaustive; there are likely also other directions in which ideas could harmfully evolve. - Ideas will often evolve in more than one of these directions at the same time, and sometimes these evolutions will be related or hard to tease apart (e.g., an idea may become more salient partly because it has become simpler). - As noted earlier, we see most of these ideas as fairly commonsensical, and as related to various phenomena that people often point out. Our hope is simply that this will be a useful way to collect, frame, and extend these relatively common ideas. - That said, we also acknowledge that some of these claims (including some commonsensical and commonly noted ones) are somewhat speculative, or are grounded mostly in perceptions and anecdotes rather than firm evidence. The simpler an idea is, the easier the idea will be to remember, communicate, and understand. Thus, we would predict that the simpler an idea (or a version of an idea) is, the more likely it is that: - people will be able to transmit the idea (as they’ll be more likely to recall it) - people will be motivated to transmit the idea (as doing so will take less effort) - the idea will be received and remembered intact As such, over time, simpler ideas may become dominant over more complicated ideas. A good example of this, and how it can cause harm, is the example mentioned earlier of how a simplified version of the idea of earning to give evolved, became widespread, and likely turned some people off of 80,000 Hours. This is also related to the idea of hedge drift, in which: The originator of [a] claim adds a number of caveats and hedges to their claim [e.g., “somewhat”, qualifications of where the claim doesn’t hold], which makes it more defensible, but less striking and sometimes also less interesting. When others refer to the same claim, the caveats and hedges gradually disappear, however. the state or quality by which [an item] stands out from its neighbors. Saliency detection is considered to be a key attentional mechanism that facilitates learning and survival by enabling organisms to focus their limited perceptual and cognitive resources on the most pertinent subset of the available sensory data. (Wikipedia) A more salient (version of an) idea will be easier to remember (just as with simpler ideas), and will stand out more to “audiences” (listeners, readers, etc.). Thus, more salient ideas may tend to spread and survive better than less salient ideas do. We expect ideas may be more salient if they cause strong emotions, and particularly strong negative emotions (see negativity bias). For a (slightly) hypothetical example, imagine that an AI researcher highlights reasons to think very carefully about the existential risks that artificial general intelligence could pose. Multiple newspapers report on this researcher’s statements, with various different headlines, pictures, framings, and tones. The newspaper articles that get the most attention and shares are those with headlines like “AI will cause extinction in next 20 years”, pictures of the Terminator, and no mention of the reasonable strategies the researcher discussed for mitigating AI risk. This is because these extreme, fear-inducing articles are the most striking (as well as the simplest). This leads to more newspapers picking up and further spreading this salient and simple version of the story. Ultimately, this may reduce the amount of respect and (positive) attention given to work on AI safety and existential risks. This is again related to the idea of hedge drift, as a version of an idea that has fewer hedges and caveats may be more exciting, fear-inducing, or otherwise attention-grabbing. Ideas that are more useful or (i.e., higher quality, better), from a particular agent’s perspective, will likely seem more worthy of attention, memory, and sharing. Thus, more useful (versions of) ideas may gradually become more common than less useful ones. We expect that evolution in this direction would be beneficial in the vast majority of cases. However, it seems plausible that such evolution could be harmful in cases where an agent becoming better able to achieve its goals would actually be morally bad, or bad for society (likely due to the agent being malicious, misinformed, or careless). For example, a wide range of ideas (from the scientific method to specific methods of microscopy) have been developed that allow for faster research and development by scientists, corporations, and society. These ideas continue to be refined into more and more useful versions. Additionally, these ideas, and refinements upon them, spread widely, regularly displacing earlier, less useful ideas. This has produced a wide range of benefits, but has also arguably increased certain catastrophic and existential risks from advanced technologies (see also our post on differential progress). To the extent that this is true, this would be a case of memetic downside risks. (Note that, as mentioned earlier, this doesn’t necessarily mean or require that the evolution of the ideas is net negative, just that there are some risks.) One form of usefulness that may be particularly likely to create risks is usefulness for social signalling (e.g., signalling intelligence, kindness, or membership in some group). For example, there is some evidence (a) that motivated reasoning on politically charged topics is (at least in part) a “form of information processing that promotes individuals’ interests in forming and maintaining beliefs that signify their loyalty to important affinity groups”, and (b) that this may help explain political polarisation. If this is true, that would mean (a) that selection pressures favour gradually more extreme and sometimes inaccurate ideas as a result of those ideas being useful in some ways for the individuals who hold and express them, and (b) that this creates a risk of misguided public policies and increased political divisiveness. This would be an MDR. Towards perceived usefulness We’ve argued that ideas will often evolve towards usefulness, because this makes ideas seem more worth paying attention to, remembering, and sharing. But we don’t always know how useful an idea actually is. Thus, even if an idea isn’t actually better or more useful than other ideas, if it appears more useful (i.e., if it can “oversell itself”), it may be more likely to be noticed, remembered, and shared, and may come to dominate over time. Note that evolution towards merely perceived usefulness will be less likely when it’s easier for people to assess the true usefulness of an idea. This once more seems related to hedge drift. For example (from that post): scientific claims (particularly in messy fields like psychology and economics) often come with a number of caveats and hedges, which tend to get lost when re-told. This is especially so when media writes about these claims, but even other scientists often fail to properly transmit all the hedges and caveats that come with them. This is probably partly due to the tendencies noted above for ideas to evolve towards simplicity and salience. However, it may also be partly because a “hedge-free” version of a scientist’s ideas seems more useful to audiences than the original version of the ideas. For example, a version of the scientist’s ideas that says a particular treatment definitely cures cancer may seem more useful than a version that includes mention of unrepresentative samples, uncontrolled variables, the test being exploratory rather than confirmatory, etc. Other scientists, journalists, and the public may pay more attention to the more useful-seeming version of the idea, and may consider that version more worth spreading. This is understandable, but could cause harm by leading to too many resources being spent on this alleged cure, rather than on options that in fact have more potential. “Noise” and “memetic drift” There are two additional noteworthy ways in which ideas may tend to evolve. In contrast to the four “directions” discussed above, these tendencies do not rely on selection pressures. Firstly, a given idea may have a tendency to become noisier over time: to change in random directions, due to random mutations that aren’t subsequently corrected. The classic example is the game of telephone, in which the message that is ultimately received is typically very different to the message that was originally sent. In our terminology, the idea mutates as it is replicated. The evolution of the idea may to some extent be towards simplicity or salience, such as because people might tend to jump to the silliest (and thus most attention-grabbing) interpretation of hard-to-hear whispers. But it seems likely that the evolution is mostly just random; each replication of the idea (each time it is whispered and heard) is an imperfect copy, so the idea drifts in unpredictable directions. Secondly, there will be some randomness in which ideas, out of the population of currently existing ideas, survive and become dominant. We could call this “memetic drift”, by analogy to genetic drift. We would expect both of these tendencies to typically be harmful, because there may typically be far more ways in which an idea or population of ideas could randomly shift for the worse than for the better (see also generation loss and regression to the mean). On the other hand, these random shifts, and thus the harm they cause, may typically only be small, due to: - the tendency for less useful (versions of) ideas to gradually be replaced by more useful ones - the ability of people to make an active effort to avoid random shifts, such as by communicating clearly, checking for mutual understanding, and choosing ideas carefully Discussion and implications In this post, we introduced the concept of memetic downside risks (MDR): risks of unintended negative effects that arise from how ideas evolve over time. We discussed how this concept is a subset of all downside risks, and how the concept overlaps with, but is distinct from, information hazards. We described how ideas may often evolve towards simplicity, salience, usefulness, and perceived usefulness, as well as evolving in random ways. We noted how each of these forms of evolution can have negative effects. We believe that preventing or mitigating downside risks more broadly is an important way for people and groups working to improve the world to do so more effectively. Furthermore, we think that such altruistic actors may often face potential MDRs, particularly if those actors are involved in substantial amounts of research and communication (including via informal channels like blog posts or small events). This is why we wished to draw further attention to, and more clearly conceptualise, MDRs; we think that this should help altruistic actors to notice, think about, and effectively handle one type of downside risks. What, more specifically, one should do about MDRs will vary greatly in different circumstances. But we think three sets of existing ideas may provide useful starting points and guidance. Firstly, many of our ideas for handling potential information hazards could likely be adapted for handling potential MDRs. For example, one could use the rule of thumb that it’s typically worth thinking carefully about whether an idea poses an MDR when the idea could be relatively impactful and when the idea (or something like it) isn’t already well-known. In other cases, such careful thought may typically not be worthwhile. Furthermore, when it is worth thinking carefully about whether an idea poses an MDR, some options for what to do could include sharing the idea anyway, being very careful with how you frame the idea and who you share it with, or not sharing the idea at all. (For more details, see our previous post.) Secondly, one could draw on the Centre for Effective Altruism’s fidelity model of spreading ideas, developed in response to issues like the distortion of the idea of earning to give. Vaughan writes: We can analyze the fidelity of a particular mechanism for spreading EA by looking at four components: Breadth: How many ideas can you explore? Depth: How much nuance can you add to the ideas? Environment: Will the audience be in an environment that is conducive to updating their opinions? Feedback: Can you adapt your message over time to improve its fidelity? This model led CEA to be more cautious about “low-fidelity” methods of spreading ideas, such as mass media or “heated political discussion[s] on Twitter”. Instead, they put more emphasis on “high-fidelity” methods, such as academic publications and local, in-person interactions. The same basic principles should also be useful for handling MDRs in many cases, though of course other factors (e.g., difficulty publishing one's ideas in academic journals) may push in favour of using low-fidelity methods anyway. Thirdly, one could draw on Stefan Schubert’s recommendations for preventing hedge drift (which, as noted above, is a similar phenomenon to some types of MDR): Many authors use eye-catching, hedge-free titles and/or abstracts, and then only include hedges in the paper itself. This is a recipe for hedge-drift and should be avoided. Make abundantly clear, preferably in the abstract, just how dependent the conclusions are on keys and assumptions. Say this not in a way that enables you to claim plausible deniability in case someone misinterprets you, but in a way that actually reduces the risk of hedge-drift as much as possible. Explicitly caution against hedge drift, using that term or a similar one, in the abstract of the paper. All that said, most fundamentally, we hope altruistic actors become more aware of MDRs (and other downside risks), and thereby move towards appropriate levels of caution and thoughtfulness regarding what and how they communicate. Suggestion for future work As noted, many of this post’s claims were somewhat speculative. We would be excited to see someone gather or generate more empirical evidence, or at least more precise arguments, related to these claims. For example, how likely is evolution in each of the directions we mentioned? How often is evolution in each direction harmful? What are the most effective ways to handle MDRs, in particular types of circumstances, with particular types of ideas that might evolve in particular ways? We expect such work would further help people and groups more effectively achieve their altruistic objectives and minimise the unintended harms they cause in the process. This post was written by MichaelA, based on an earlier post written by Andrés Gómez Emilsson and Justin Shovelain, and with help and feedback from Justin and David Kristoffersson. Aaron Gertler and Will Bradshaw also provided helpful comments and edits on earlier drafts. Wikipedia also notes various criticisms of the concept or study of memes, as well as counterarguments to some of these criticisms. Most notably, some criticisms allege that many of the apparent insights of memetics are actually fairly commonsensical anyway, and some criticisms allege that many of the claims associated with memetics are speculative and lacking empirical evidence. As also noted later in the main text, we would accept both of these criticisms as having some relevance to this post, but think that this post can be useful regardless. ↩︎ One could use a broader definition of MDRs, as risks of unintended negative effects that arise from how ideas, behaviours, or styles “evolve” over time. This would be more in keeping with a broad definition of “memes”. However, the term “memes” is also often applied particularly to ideas, and we think that the concept we wish to refer to is more useful if it’s only about ideas, and not about other behaviours or styles. ↩︎ This seems similar to Scott Alexander’s point that more “legible” ideas or policies may win out over time over “less legible” ones, even if the more legible ideas are actually less accurate or more flawed. ↩︎ Some actors may already be appropriately, or even overly, cautious and thoughtful. This is why we say “move towards appropriate levels”, rather than necessarily advocating for increased levels in all cases. It is also why we mentioned a rule of thumb for whether it’s worth even thinking carefully about whether an idea poses an MDR. ↩︎ One additional reason for caution when spreading ideas is that ideas can be very “sticky”. For example, “Information that initially is presumed to be correct, but that is later retracted or corrected, often continues to influence memory and reasoning. This occurs even if the retraction itself is well remembered” (source). See here for discussion of related issues. Note that this risk from the "stickiness" of ideas is not identical to, or a subset of, either information hazards or MDRs. This is because this risk will most obviously or typically relate to false information (whereas information hazards relate to true information), and doesn’t depend on ways in which ideas evolve (though it can interact with ways in which ideas evolve). ↩︎

In this short series, I highlight seven foes and seven friends of system safety, both for explanation and intervention. Each is a concept, meme, or device used in thinking, language, and intervention (reinforced by more fundamental foes that act as barriers to thinking). They are not the only foes or friends, of course, but they are significant ones that either crop up regularly in discussions and writings about safety, or else – in the case of friends – should do. In this post, I outline seven friends of explanation. To keep it short (because I usually intend that, but rarely succeed), I limit each explanation to an arbitrary limit of 100 words. In this series: - Seven foes of explanation in system safety - Seven foes of intervention in system safety - Seven friends of explanation in system safety (this post) - Seven friends of intervention in system safety 1. The [degraded] system The ‘system‘ in system safety does not operate as designed or as prescribed. It is neither fully understood nor fully understandable, and only slithers of performance can be measured. There are degraded resources (staffing, competencies, equipment, procedures, time) and – often – inappropriate constraints, punishments and incentives, whose effects are not as imagined. There are also gaps between these elements of the system, and people – the flexible system element – have to stretch to bridge these gaps, resolving the unforeseen pressures and dilemmas that result. While we are mostly successful, sometimes the reality of the system surfaces in unwanted ways. 2. Goal conflicts Safety is just one of several goals, among cost-efficiency, productivity, capacity, security, and environmental factors such as noise and emissions. Safety is rarely of highest priority in any permanent sense. Instead, there are almost always conflicts or tensions between goals, presenting stakeholders with dilemmas. As situations change over time, different goals and relative priorities will be perceived differently by different individuals and groups. Goal conflicts will also look different in hindsight, when one has access to more information, including the outcome. While the solutions to goal conflicts may seem ‘obvious’ looking back, they were gambles when looking forward. We often base safety-related work on work-as-imagined, -prescribed, and -disclosed. In doing so, we often neglect the real thing – work-as-done. Work-as-done is what people do to meet their goals during expected and unexpected situations. It is characterised by patterns of activity to achieve a particular purpose in a particular context. It may look messy, but in fact it is the environment that is messy. The work is adaptive. Work-as-done varies between people and situations, and much of it is in the head. So any understanding – gained via listening, observing, recording, and modelling – will only ever be partial and approximate. 4. Trade-offs and adjustments People work not in order to ‘be safe’, but to meet demands. Constant performance adjustments and trade-offs are required order to meet variable, unpredictable demands, and to resolve goal conflicts. When we look at human performance, even when simply walking in a crowd, all we do is adjust and adapt to a dynamic, uncertain environment. We have to make trade-offs and choose among (often sub-optimal) courses of action, and make adjustments to our plans and responses as situations unfold. This is mostly very successful, and needs to be understood from an inside perspective, whether the outcome is as expected or not. 5. Local rationality Work-as-done is guided by the local rationality principle: people do things that make sense to them given their goals, the evolving situation, and their understanding of it at a particular moment. Our rationality is not only bounded by human limitations, complexity, and time available, but local to the situation and our experience. Everyone has their own local rationality. We need to understand how people make sense of situations and how they choose to act. This requires empathy and careful discussion and observation to understand work-as-done (in the head and the world) and what helped and hindered it. 6. Interactions and patterns In a system, everything is connected to something. While we often attend to components, it is the nature of interactions, along with goals, that characterises the system. These interactions – between human, social, organisational, regulatory, political, technical, economic, procedural, informational, and temporal components – should be a focus of attention, whether considering the past, present or future. Viewing the system as a whole, emerging patterns of activity – including flows of activity and information – become evident. These wanted and unwanted patterns can be understood using systems methods, which help to reveal influence in the system, and possibilities for intervention. 7. Strengths and assets Systems operate successfully, for the most part, because of strengths and assets in the system (especially human strengths such as flexibility, creativity, learning, collaboration, pattern recognition, curiosity, insight, and perspective-shifting). Strengths and assets are often almost missing from system safety research and practice. In any discussion or analysis, we should start with what’s strong, not what’s wrong. Instead of focusing only on perceived deficiencies, we must find out what capacities ensure that system goals are balanced appropriately. If we don’t explicitly appreciate what we have, how can we know if interventions – including efficiency-focused cut backs – are wise? If you want to learn more about how complex systems fail, in the most concise and easy-to-digest form, read this by read Richard Cook.

This isn’t an easy one for me to write. During the offseason, after seven diligent years on the Jaguars’ bandwagon , I hopped off, errantly assuming that the team was packing itself in a cardboard box and shipping itself to Trevor Lawrence’s doorstep…. Gardner Minshew, who most of us wrote off as a meme that erroneously passed in and out of our lives last season, completed 19 of 20 passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns. And so it goes. Those of us who gave up our seats on the bandwagon were left watching a spartan version of the team we perpetually picked as the trendy choice to reach the playoffs show up and mow down the Philip Rivers and the Colts—probably the trendiest pick to reach the playoffs in 2020. A series of camera shots—Wingard celebrating the pick; a dancing woman in the stands donning a cheetah COVID mask and denim shorts; and a smiling Minshew, content in knowing that everyone who wrote him off would have to write a terrible column like this—was so perfectly Jacksonville. It was wild and uninhibited. It was somewhat anonymous and beautiful.

October’s optional theme is This month, write a sexy Halloween/Samhain themed poem (or two…or three…or ten…) Here are the basics: The Erotic Poetry Challenge is a MONTHLY CHALLENGE, and sometimes there will be optional weekly prompts (just to give you ideas). But keep in mind: –you can link-up when you want (one time or many) –you can ignore the theme and prompts altogether and write whatever the hell you desire –you do not have to be a serious or practiced poet – please do not feel intimidated by this prompt (every writer is welcome!) –you can write any form of poetry you want…or make up your own forms –poetry does NOT have to rhyme (just in case you needed to hear that) The MONTHLY THEME is fairly general. But sometimes I will provide a weekly prompt. You can write to each prompt and link up all the poems you write. Maybe one prompt will work for you, but the others won’t…and that’s fine, too. You might also just want to write your own damn poems the way you see fit (screw the theme and prompts – you’re a rebel…and that’s cool). There will also be months where I will offer no weekly prompts. It would be nice if you could use the badge below and link back to link-up page; it makes you easier to find for new readers. And people who read your work might click on over and read other people’s poems, too (since that’s sort of the point of a meme, eh?). Commenting on other people’s work is also awfully nice. Remember…you DON’T have to follow the theme or the prompts. They are simply there to provide guidance and ideas. And if you decide to follow the prompts, you don’t have to do them in any particular order. YOU CAN LINK-UP ANY POEMS YOU WRITE, WHETHER THEY ARE ON PROMPT OR NOT. If you have an idea for a theme or prompt, please let me know! I could always used ideas! Especially poetry activities that push me in new directions and that I can reuse when I need a little inspiration! You can link up your poems all month (one or several). Link party will be open from today until 11:59 pm PST on October 31st.

I’m linking up with It’s Monday! What are you reading? hosted by Kathryn of The Book Date later on today. Kathryn took over this weekly, Monday meme from Shelia of Book Journey who had taken it over from J Kayne Book Blog. This meme is not just about adult books either. If you read picture and chapter books, juvenile fiction, or even YA, they count as well. Jen Vincent of Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee of Unleashing Readers give this Monday, book post link up a kid-focus. - I already wrote about the end of the teenager’s tennis season so I won’t repeat it here. If you only come around Mondays and are curious, click here. - Halloween was no big deal for ¾ of us. The sixth grader – who was Lilo – had the most fun as she went to one friend’s (Stitch) house for a while and then they trooped over to another’s (Angel, the pink/girl Stitch) where they made some arts and crafts, brownies, trick-or-treated around the neighborhood around their school, and then came back to have pizza. She nicely separated the candies with nuts in them into another bag and for the family candy jar. - Saturday, I had to rouse the crew up early as the husband and I had to attend a funeral. We dropped off the kids at my mom’s, picked up my brother, and then went to the service and burial. For the rest of the day our family hung out at my parents’ and got to have yummy, Chinese take out for dinner. - Sunday afternoon, I hosted three of my neighbors for Craft “Night.” I served them double cream Brie, English cheddar with truffles, spiced walnuts, and chocolate-covered pretzels. “… she opened a book and was therefore saved, discovering that a novel was as great an escape as any spell.” I was able to finish three books this week! First up, In the Hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce. This audiobook is the second installment in its series, Song of the Lioness, which is all about a girl named Alanna. I had read book one two years ago. When I had listened to the first of Pierce’s Immortals series, Alanna was mentioned. I knew then I had to go back and finish her series before continuing the Immortals one. A slim and smaller squire among others training to be knights. Who is he? Well it’s she, Alanna, a teen-aged girl disguised as a boy. As this young lady nears the end of her training, unknown dangers threaten the ones she cares about and it’s up to her to figure out what’s going on and who’s behind it. Besides that Overdrive Listen on my laptop kept stopping in places on its own throughout the whole book, I wasn’t disappointed with this audio read. I didn’t care that there wasn’t any brutal scenes of killing and blood and that the plot wasn’t overly complicated with magic. In the Hand of the Goddess was an enjoyable listen. You could easily have this playing in your car or through your ear buds during your commute. Alanna is a likable character who has honor and a sense of duty to the royal family. If you like strong, female leads who persevere as an underdog through obstacles, this book is for you. I was surprised at the few, subtle mentions of sex in this book. They’re very slight and not detailed at all so I felt this second installment was definitely more for young adults and older audiences. Three stars. I had become curious about The Remnant Chronicles because I kept seeing it around and mentioned so I check it out for my Kindle. The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson is told through three POV: - Lia – the runaway princess - the assassin, and - the prince. What’s clever about this book is you don’t know out of the last two, who’s who. I kept guessing throughout the book and ended up wrong. There is nothing flashy in the plot nor bloody brutality. What I liked was her character development from start to finish. There is somewhat of a cliffhanger but the ending is like a bridge to the next installment. If you like character development and where the camera focuses on the main characters in the present, you just may like this read. Three stars. Can I tell you something that’s annoying? My library has the Kindle version of the first and third book in this series. Where’s the second?! I just finished When We Found Home by Susan Mallery last night. One man with a taste for women and out for a good time. Several women all over the country dumped to become single mothers. Children of those unions going through tough, living situations as a result until the patriarch of the family saves each one. However, does moving into a richer lifestyle keep the ghosts of the past away? This book is the story of Malcolm, Keira, and Callie from how they adjust from being strangers to one another to developing into siblings and a real family. I am trying to read more of this author’s work because I like how she writes about real life situations and real life family dynamics. If you like realistic fiction with a hint of romance, this is a book for your TBR. Three stars. What book has captured your attention right now? It’s about 5 pm PST. Time to figure out dinner. What are you eating tonight? Thank you for popping in what’s left of Monday. Have a good evening and TTYS.

So this past week I got mind blowingly sick with food poisoning for a full 7 days. Needless to say I was sick of Netflix, naps, and my bathroom floor .. and totally down for a little one on one time with Ma. By Sunday I’d consumed almost an entire pack of probiotics and was feeling okay so I went with my parents to go buy a new SUV. Long story short, at the end of the day we had a fantastic experience at the dealership (shocking) and found a 2016 model car that was released early and had everything EXCEPT the ability to parallel park itself (Haha not joking. Some models of this car can do this!). <<<One thing to note – I am a horrible parallel parker, not really a great driver in general. There’s duct tape around my side mirror to prove it. My mother is an excellent parallel parker and lives in Orange County where parking lots rule all. >> Anyways my step dad and I both voted “no” on the parallel parking assist. But really we should have kept our mouths shut because now the car doesn’t beep when it gets close to objects – IE cars, poles, walls, people. Which is crucial in a big SUV. I completely comprehend that this is the definition of a first world problem. My mother and I looked like a meme crying about it. But they’re paying so much – I want her to have exactly what she wants. She DESERVES to have exactly what she wants. If she wants her car to beep… It should beep gosh dammnit. My mother does everything humanly possible for my sister and I. She’s constantly giving up purchasing things for herself, so she can get something for us. She spends time doing what we need/want instead of what she needs/wants. If we call her in the middle of the night.. she’s up and ready to tackle whatever challenge we have. And I feel like she should have a car that beeps. The end. But so here’s my hard and honest conclusion – I want her car to beep so badly in order to justify that she’s happy. That way I can go back to my own little world. Aka shamefully not answering all her texts, letting her voicemails pile up (vm’s can suck it I’m sorry they are the worst), rolling my eyes when she’s asked if I’ve done something (because obv I don’t have the time to deal). I suck in all the ways that 25 year olds can suck. And I’m not proud. And I need to be a better friend and daughter to my mom so at the end of the day she can sleep not giving a damn if her car beeps because she feels loved and appreciated with or without that. Because the little things don’t matter as much when the important things are there. And as her daughter it’s part my job to make sure that happens. The end. Categories: Musings & Epiphanies

“You’ll never work in this town again!” is an immortal slogan thrown around Hollywood, a scornful marking that makes working in that elite business just that much more difficult. For whatever reasons, these several actors enjoyed success at the top and then due to bad manners or just general maniac behaviour lost that top spot, becoming pariahs in the industry. It’s a sad yet common story that will only see more names soon in these current heated and haphazard times in the industry… 10. Lindsay Lohan So is the way of the sad story of some Hollywood starlets. Lindsay Lohan was the adorable Disney kid who enjoyed a series of successes (in remakes of “The Parent Trap” and “Freaky Friday”) that showed her as a strong and memorable presence on screen even at an early age. She then came of age in the superior high school comedy “Mean Girls.” All eyes were set on her, yet soon her offscreen exploits began to take centre stage as her cute-as-a-button image became more of a constant ‘party girl’ image instead. She had on-set drama when she attempted to step into the serious acting leagues with Robert Altman’s “A Prairie Home Companion.” Then her toxic reputation followed her onto her next couple of attempts at comebacks in “I Know Who Killed Me” and more recently, “The Canyons,” both edgy indies that were critically lambasted and flopped at the box office; not to mention, they had the media eat up plenty of juicy filming conflicts due to her prima donna nature on each film. The offers have seemingly dried up now, with the actress going instead to TV for work. 9. Charlie Sheen Martin Sheen’s son rose to heavy prominence in the 80s as he moved to leading man (aka Oliver Stone’s alter ego) in the seminal “Platoon” and “Wall Street.” Plenty of lesser quality yet popular movies followed as Sheen embraced a hard-partying womanising reputation over the years, and although his acting performances suffered, he still enjoyed bankability. A brief clean-up and attempt at a straight arrow life when he married Denise Richards and started a family, with solid work on the sitcom “Spin City”; even if his movie roster was less prominent, a comeback seemed inevitable. This came in the form of another sitcom, “Two and a Half Men,” with other 80’s stalwart Jon Cryer. It was a massive ratings hit (regardless of quality) and a solid living for Sheen, yet things soured between him and showrunner Chuck Lorre due to the actor’s increasingly unhinged and intoxicated behaviour on set. Sheen was eventually fired and a massive meltdown and media circus followed, with such infamous internet memes like ‘tiger blood’ and ‘winning’ following. Sheen managed to win his own solo show “Anger Management” afterward, which managed to be even less funny than his former sitcom, and displayed plenty of Sheen’s hotheadedness aimed at his crew and wrapped up in two seasons. No work, a HIV diagnosis and possible negative sexual allegations have arisen in the meantime, and it looks like Sheen has finally become un-hireable regardless of his popularity as an internet meme. 8. Katherine Heigl After toiling away in as a young actress in thankless sequel roles (“Under Siege 2: Dark Territory,” “Bride of Chucky”), Katherine Heigl managed to have a killer upswing during the mid-2000s when she broke through with her role in the pop culture TV success “Grey’s Anatomy.” Soon after she conquered movies when she landed the plum lead role in “Knocked Up,” the Judd Apatow dramedy that pretty much helped create a ‘comedy renaissance’ with similar movies produced or directed by the filmmaker, starring several of the same actors. Heigl excluded herself from that list almost immediately when she badmouthed Apatow and the rest involved with the movie, calling it ‘sexist’ during the movie’s press circuit. After burning that bridge, she soon soured herself on the sets of “Grey’s” by belaying the quality of showrunner Shonda Rhimes’ writing. Sure, she managed to churn out a few generic rom-coms after, but her difficult reputation subsided and she’s been less prominent and hardly in demand as of late. This is seen with her latest film “Unforgettable” – a mediocre “Fatal Attraction” rip-off. 7. Edward Norton It’s no mean feat to get an Oscar nomination with your film debut, but Edward Norton managed to do it with “Primal Fear,” which quickly etched him out as the one of the most exciting names in the movie business. Several other movies followed that helped further cement this notion (“Fight Club,” “American History X,” “25th Hour”), which are considered some of the best films made in that period, matched only with his incredible skill that soon mounted him the ‘young De Niro’ title of raw but nuanced New York talent. Then roles started to dry up as a reputation for micromanaging several films he appeared in began to reoccur over and over. His last major push as a commercial and relevant lead actor was with Marvel’s “The Incredible Hulk” – the direct follow-up to the studio’s bombastic debut with “Iron Man” that turned Robert Downey Jr’s troubled career around. The similarly unorthodox casting here was meant to lead to a similar success. Unfortunately, Norton’s performance wasn’t as fully embraced, not to mention several reports of him being argumentative and controlling on-set leaked to the press. So when it came time for when the green one would return for the superhero team-up “The Avengers,” Marvel decided to drop Norton from the role and replace him with Mark Ruffalo. Since then roles have been way less prominent, and although recently smaller roles with interesting directors have helped win him back some points, it’s quite clear that his earlier status has been sadly squandered due to him unable to play nice with most. 6. Mickey Rourke Now this is an odd example. Throughout the 80s, Mickey Rourke was iron-hot as an actor with appealing good looks, only matched by his barnstorming acting skill and authentic street toughness. The world was truly his oyster as he moved through exciting movies where critics fawned over his acting (“Angel Heart,” “Rumble Fish,” “9 1/2 Weeks”), yet soon after things took a swerve for the worst, as his outspoken and general nasty reputation proceeded him and got him blacklisted him in the industry. He reverted to boxing for a number of years instead, which mussed up his good looks when cheap surgery attempted to fix it. He attempted a miserable return to the profession in 1997 that initially felt embarrassing, yet after more than a decade of taking smaller interesting roles and putting in the work to prove he was a new man, he finally landed the role he had been working toward in 2008’s “The Wrestler.” It was a iconic performance that echoed his fall from grace in a moving yet harrowing manner. Awards and unanimous critical praise signified one of the biggest comebacks in Hollywood history – but sadly things weren’t meant to be. After playing the villain in “Iron Man 2,” Rourke’s nasty back-talk began again when he badmouthed the whole production and Marvel head Kevin Feige as a “nerd,” and this pattern soon occurred again and again with his following movies. Soon after, fewer and fewer respectable roles came along and it was clear he was only in it for the paycheques, whilst his looks decayed even further past the point of weathered charm to downright weird. “Blunt Force Trauma” and “WEAPONiZED” are some of his latest VOD releases – and even just the titles signify that it’s a long way from working with Aronofsky or Coppola.

The president-elect will also likely push for additional funding for vaccine distribution and funding to help states and cities, the report says.Manchin, a moderate, is expected to hold a crucial vote as Democrats control the Senate in a 50-50 split with Republicans, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris serving as the tie-breaker.Biden wants to pass a new relief package quickly after he takes office on January 20, and earlier this week promised Georgia voters that they can expect to receive a $2,000 stimulus check if both Democratic U.S. Senate candidates won their elections, which they did.“If you send Jon and the reverend to Washington, those $2,000 checks will go out the door restoring hope and decency and honor for so many people who are struggling right now,” Biden said at a rally for the Democrats in Atlanta.After Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock won their races earlier this week, incoming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) also promised that the $2,000 checks would be a top priority.However, if Biden and Schumer lose even one Democratic vote they may struggle to pass legislation under special Senate rules that allow bills to pass with a simple majority, rather than the 60 vote margin generally needed.While some Republicans have come out in favor of the $2,000 stimulus payments, it is unlikely GOP lawmakers would support other facets of Biden's new plan, including extending unemployment benefits.

Is ‘diversity’ at the core of being African, Jewish, Asian, Arab or any other people? That’s a dumb question. If you are looking to other ethnicities to validate your opinion obviously they will say no. That’s human nature. They are not going to ask you so why ask them, why even doubt yourself.? White people must assert & state with clarity who & what the are. Other White people will either recognize you & stand with you or they will reject & defame you. Those that stand with you are your heritage, your group & you belong together & can forge a future, no matter how you are denigrated. The latter whites are inconsequential, have no purpose other than as obstacles to be overcome or ignored. Their destiny in any event is to become irrelevant as the are replaced. The White race not only has a valid expression of its natural born place on this planet & in whatever form that expression of its rave as a cohesive force might take, it also has a right to assert that by force if needs be.

Thanks, I’ve given up hope. The indoctrination of years and years has worked. I’m just thinking how long the window to emigrate to US might be open until the US says that “Germans” aren’t that trustworthy anymore as anyone from Africa or Arabia gets a German passport. Maybe migrating inside Europe is an option. But EU works on Poland and Hungary to fall too. I think it’s gonna be dire. Yet some real nationalists look forward stating that such a process will make “New Germans”. But the transition will be tough even bloody. Becoming the minority in your own country and what that entales. I stay away from most news these days. One: The manipulation of the public sickens me. Two: Simply the reality, the actions of our government are so damningly anti-German that it sickens me too.

[you can have coloreds or standards, not both. invariably, in my experience, it is the standards that go away] The Philippines, led by their indomitable President Duterte, have terminated their special relationship with the U.S. military: Relations between two traditional allies have reached a new low after Manila warned the US that it is ending an agreement that allows American troops to set foot on the Philippines soil. Manila sent formal notice to the US embassy on Tuesday that it is terminating the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA). President Rodrigo Duterte’s spokesperson Salvador Panelo said it was done in order to be independent from Washington in military affairs. It’s about time we rely on ourselves, we will strengthen our own defenses and not rely on any other country. Panelo told reporters that the nation is open to signing VFAs with other countries as long as they are “mutually beneficial, not one-sided.” Much has been written about the Völkisch movement and its influence on some members of the SS; not as much has been written about the Anthroposophist influences on Winston Churchill. From Stephen Flowers, The Secret King: Churchill had as a personal physician and advisor one Walter Johannes Stein (1891–1957), an Austrian expatriate and Anthroposophist. […] [He] promoted the idea that the true grail would be made manifest in the world as a global form of finance capital. Stein derived this idea from his belief that that the blood of Christ had entered the soil at Golgotha, transforming the whole Earth into the physical Body of Christ. This “esoteric fact” was to be realized through the development of “a world-embracing economy.” This economy, “directed from a universal point of view,” would be predicated on the dissolution of national frontiers. It would be directed by a nebulous body called the “Order of Christ” … Stein held that “The creation of a system of World Economy is the real mission of the Anglo-Saxon/Germanic people.” … His work included acting as an advisor to Winston Churchill. Dr. Stein was also a homeopathic practitioner, and Churchill became his patient.Read more Our ancestors passed the stories down by memory.

Peaceful separation is our salvation The movie poster (in the quoted post) quotes the line, “designed to stoke division in the country”. I think they forgot that the ‘elites’ are jews now and so the division being ‘stoked’ is in fact the White Race as the backbone of the civilisation, the creators of the wealth who have been for decades now deeply exploited, realising that they are being led by a disconnected super wealthy jewish race that hates them and wants them replaced by the third world. > we are 5 years away from homosexuals raping babies being legalized We are also 5 years away from these degenerates receiving the death penalty administered by vigilante justice.

It was the French, alongside the Germans, who fought to the death for the freedom of all Europeans. The French are no cowards.

I guess I am not sure what you're asking Why go to war with a race, or invade a country; in the traditional sense? If you can achieve the results by much safer, cleaner means; wouldn't you do that? Why wage a war on the one race with the potential to destroy the throne, when you can win the war and achieve the same results by subversive means? There is no group that poses a threat to the network of Jewish overlords that dictate all of our government's actions So if it's possible to wage silent wars against him, via the "shithouse videos" you reference, fundamentally change the demographics of his countries... Do you think they would pass it up? Ha, the islamic world poses no threat my friend. A bunch of dirty cavemen with AK47s and Barrel Bombs (lel) pose N O T H R E A T to israel Israel is no joke when it comes to military armament. And not that stoneage muslim shit. I don't know ? That's not the kind of thing I can tell you Do you see the motive? to continue tipping the scales and encouraging white birth rate to dwindle? Do you ? And do you see the ENORMOUS Israeli push for open borders/multiculturalism in the west ? Yes, but I can prove it as well obviously. it's about watering down the white population until they are no longer a threat whatsoever Because, if you remember, we are the only threat to the Jewish power structure It's interesting, because you are being introduced to the problem first (Jews). Many of us are introduced to the problems first, like borders, refugees, degen on TV, degen in music/movies, feminism, diversity, multiculturalism.... And at the bottom of every rabbit hole is a Jew Like I said, the ONLY GROUP who poses a threat to international Jews is white males some mudpuppy-black-mexican-white doesn't even know what itself is is much easier to control Have you spent a lot of time around blacks, and mexicans? Real blacks and mexicans, not prep-school-already-mixed-spics I understand, for a long time my best friend was black My point is, don't confuse my argument. I am not saying "no black is as good as white people" But it's useless to talk about these miniscule few outliers. Utterly useless. Yes, but ask yourself why black males are so disgusted with fatherhood ? Even they are disgusted by black women. So you can admit that with no hesitation. It's all good. Is it a never ending loop of blaming childhoods ? And they have been incapable of simply fathering children ? Oh so it's the women's fault ? Interesting theory I missed the fatherhood/motherhood clause I never considered it, of course.. But yes It presents itself as a clear choice in peer group association in early teenage life So their tribal connection is what pushes them into gangs ? Does it also explain the insanely accelerated rates of every type of abuse, assault, murder, and other crimes ? it's too late. acknowledging what you did ? you're guilty of thoughtcrime now. Last chance to turn back faggot That is forbidden. You can't blame biology. You're a racist monster. use age range if you're a huge pussy or whatever You have spent years learning that acknowledging biological differences of the races that manifest in behavioral and habitual differences is wrong, mean, the greatest evil. It's important to simplify things down to their most simple cause and effect I agree it's important. No doubt about that. You will see that there have been tests done on blacks and whites in exactly similar socioeconomic situations. Whites > blacks in IQ regardless of socioeconomic, of course. You're more willing to lie to people than you are acknowledge the truth ? Where is your argument going right now I'm asking you about how you, personally, value truth Yes, but relatively speaking, what is more important to you than truth? Take your time, that's a huge question and you should think about it if you never have., Then it best we know this ASAP and live our lives in preperation of such What God do you know that is more universal and ultimate than truth 1,314 total messages.

If roses flowered throughout the year, think what we’d miss. That wonder in winter of putting out a hand to those dreary sticks and knowing that somewhere is hidden the culmination of next summer. ~Mirabel Osler The seasons change around us much to our amazement sometimes, and especially if we are not looking. We can see the negatives of seasonal changes especially if they affect our daily lives in ways we wish they wouldn’t. The limited sunlight as fall progresses, driving in icy conditions, the rainy muddy spring and the heat, humidity and violent storms of summer. And while it is hard not to get into thinking of the negatives of seasonal change, wishing the summer or spring would go on forever for us gardeners, we know the earth will spin and the seasons must change. And this meme was started as a way for me to recognize all the wonderful aspects of each season. And because I have been focusing on these positives, the seasons have come to mean so much more to me as we pass into each one. “I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass This winter my mantra is about honoring the wonders of winter, while I continue to rest and reflect until spring. But this New Year will bring forth a change in my life as I progress further along my new path of retirement started last March. What that change is will be reflected as the New Year unfolds soon. And this winter will give me more time to explore the changes I am seeking. So let’s see what wishes, wonders, dreams and thoughts folks have for celebrating the new season where they live…. In the Northeast specifically in the Poconos of Pennsylvania, Pam@Pam’s English Cottage Garden has had an early winter causing her to change her morning routine already: I don’t walk around the garden, coffee in hand, planning the day’s gardening activities. But take my coffee sitting in my favorite armchair near the French windows in the garden-room, enjoying my feathered friends at feeder and water dish. I love the feeling this evokes. So much peace in this morning routine. But Pam’s beloved tree that brings all the birds and critters, the northern catalpa, is fading and will have to be removed soon. I do understand how it feels to lose a beloved tree Pam. But planning for those garden changes all winter may bring some solace. Travelling further north, is Sue@The Northern New York Gardener. Sue is celebrating winter with wonderful evergreen arrangements: There are several items you can cut now outside for fillers in your arrangements. Some of these would include dried flower heads such as hydrangea, some grasses, and evergreens such as boxwood, cedar, holly, ivy, pachysandra, and vinca vine. I have quite a few of these plants growing in our yard so thought I’d gather some up and make a few simple arrangements. Check out some of Sue’s wonderful arrangements that are so festive for the holidays and throughout winter. Moving to western New York, Michelle@Rambling Woods has many beautiful memories and reflections about the passing of the seasons. And Michelle shares her personal stories with her mother’s and her own cancer over a year ago. Her story began with…. I sat outside and watched nature take me into the winter….. And ended with Michelle’s declaration that she will never give up. Michelle also included her personal poem, I Will Bend, I Will Not Break. One of my favorite poems of resilience, courage and hope. Thank you Michelle for sharing your critters, garden and story. As we head out to the midwest we find Jason@gardeninacity, in Illinois, growing a stunning red amaryllis to help get rid of the winter drearies and gloom. It occurs to me looking at these pictures that one or two Amaryllis really isn’t enough. I wonder if somewhere in the house there’s a wide vase that could hold three or more? or maybe a pot that Judy doesn’t use much? I agree that one amaryllis or Hippeastrum is not enough. I love growing a few to bring in color during our winter white time. And Beth@PlantPostings, in Wisconsin, is enjoying the season watching critters in particular a squirrel eating a popsicle. This little guy picked up a large chunk of snow/ice and proceeded to enjoy a little refreshment. Squirrels are always entertaining, but this particular chunk was about as long as the squirrel’s tail. Winter is a wonderful time to watch critters since they are so much easier to see now. I have never seen a squirrel eating a popsicle….snow yes, popsicle no. What fun! Moving to the Colorado Rockies, Cheryl@Gardenhood is celebrating in the dark. Her wonderful tale of seasonal changes, relentless sun, gloomy gray and Seasonal Affective Disorder are fascinating. And I really enjoyed reading about her celebration of the solstice: So, I will celebrate the season as I have for 30 years: In the dark, in gratitude for the dark, honoring the dark and my need for it. And in the dark, in ceremony, a place will open within me to welcome the light. What a wonderful way to celebrate the change from darkness into light….I am sure it was a most splendid celebration Cheryl. As we move a bit south to Texas, Shirley@Rock-Oak-Deer is celebrating the season along the festively decorated River Walk in her beautiful San Antonio. As Shirley says: There’s no place like home for the holidays. In San Antonio, with its unique Paseo del Rio or River Walk featuring thousands of lights draped over the Bald Cypress trees lining the river, that’s especially true. And I am taking note of the stunning vistas and wonderful ideas for celebrating the season that Shirley has given us in her post. I hope to one day visit San Antonio and see these magnificent seasonal views in person. Now we are moving further south. Actually way down south of the equator to Australia where they are not getting snow and winter is long gone. Instead they are in the beginning of summer. How lucky for them. Bernie@My Dry Tropics Garden is celebrating summer and the beginning of their wet season. With so much going on with her home re-dos she has had to cut back on her gardening. But oh, her garden is sporting some amazing flowers now. And as she explains, she is doing a bit of garden re-do as well: I’ll be going for a more tropical look and less of a cottagey-garden look, to try and cut down on water usage. I do love flowers, but I feel like a change would be nice in that gardening space. If that wasn’t enough seeing her flowers, including Hippeastrum actually growing outdoors while ours grow indoors, she also shared many critters out and about in her wonderful garden. A real feast for these flower and color starved eyes. Thanks Bernie! Well there you have it…bloggers from all over celebrating the new season in such wonderful, special ways. I hope you will join me in the spring or autumn (depending where you live) for another Seasonal Celebrations. What will the next season hold….wonders galore I am sure! And to all who visit, read, comment and support Gardens Eye View, thank you! Wishing all a very special holiday season. Happy Holidays!! In A Vase On Monday I am sharing this wrap-up of my seasonal meme with a few other link ups. This week, I am linking with Cathy@Rambling in the Garden for her meme, In a Vase on Monday, and Christina@Creating my own garden of the Hesperides and her meme Gardens Bloggers Foliage Day. And I am also linking this post to Judith@Lavender Cottage who is now hosting Mosaic Monday. Throughout the post, I used some views of my vase that I put together for this holiday season…. It is filled with branches and berries from a Japanese barberry; Berberis thunbergii ‘Helmond Pillar’. I loved gently arranging the not so straight branches. Added to the barberry was my tried and true evergreen boxwood, Buxus microphylla var. japonica ‘Wintergreen’. I adore the Christmas look of this arrangement and it should last a long time. And yes I slugged through the snow, mud and wet to get the boxwood. Actually the barberry grows right off the front porch and the boxwood grows along the front walk. Easy plants to reach for this winter arrangement. Next up on the blog: Next Monday, the last Monday of the year, I will have a native plant profile to close out this year’s Simply The Best series. I am linking in with Michelle for her Nature Notes meme at her new blog just for Nature Notes. It is a great way to see what is happening in nature around the world every Tuesday. I am also joining in I Heart Macro with Laura@Shine The Divine that happens every Saturday. All original content is copyrighted and the sole property of Donna Donabella @ Gardens Eye View, 2010-2014.

- Open Access Evolution of regulatory networks associated with traits under selection in cichlids Genome Biology volume 22, Article number: 25 (2021) Seminal studies of vertebrate protein evolution speculated that gene regulatory changes can drive anatomical innovations. However, very little is known about gene regulatory network (GRN) evolution associated with phenotypic effect across ecologically diverse species. Here we use a novel approach for comparative GRN analysis in vertebrate species to study GRN evolution in representative species of the most striking examples of adaptive radiations, the East African cichlids. We previously demonstrated how the explosive phenotypic diversification of East African cichlids can be attributed to diverse molecular mechanisms, including accelerated regulatory sequence evolution and gene expression divergence. To investigate these mechanisms across species at a genome-wide scale, we develop a novel computational pipeline that predicts regulators for co-extant and ancestral co-expression modules along a phylogeny, and candidate regulatory regions associated with traits under selection in cichlids. As a case study, we apply our approach to a well-studied adaptive trait—the visual system—for which we report striking cases of network rewiring for visual opsin genes, identify discrete regulatory variants, and investigate their association with cichlid visual system evolution. In regulatory regions of visual opsin genes, in vitro assays confirm that transcription factor binding site mutations disrupt regulatory edges across species and segregate according to lake species phylogeny and ecology, suggesting GRN rewiring in radiating cichlids. Our approach reveals numerous novel potential candidate regulators and regulatory regions across cichlid genomes, including some novel and some previously reported associations to known adaptive evolutionary traits. Seminal studies by King and Wilson analyzing protein evolution in vertebrates speculated the importance of evolutionary changes in “regulatory processes” for morphological diversity [2, 3]. These ideas were soon expanded on by François Jacob , who suggested that the molecular “tinkering” of pre-existing systems is a hallmark of evolution where, for example, regulatory processes can either be transformed or combined for functional gain . These theories underlie many studies on the divergence of regulatory processes associated with morphological evolution, and broadly focus on changes in gene regulatory networks (GRNs) that determine the expression patterns of genes [5, 6]. Such changes can be mutations within transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) located in cis-regulatory elements (promoters and enhancers) of genes or trans regulatory changes that are due to changes in the level of a regulator . Alterations of GRNs can lead to phenotypic divergence , and these GRN changes between species, irrespective of direct and indirect functional consequence, are defined as GRN “rewiring” events. This is characterized by regulatory interactions present in one or more species but absent in another species, and potentially replaced by a new interaction between the orthologous TF and a target gene. Several comparative studies of GRNs underlying mechanisms of adaptation and evolution have been carried out in unicellular prokaryotes, E. coli and several non-vertebrate eukaryotes, including yeast [9, 10], plants , fruit fly , and echinoderms [12, 13]. While there are efforts to collate and integrate several genomic datasets for vertebrates, including human and mouse , comparative analysis of regulatory networks from these data alone remains a major computational challenge and very little is known about the phenotypic effect of genome-wide regulatory network rewiring events in non-model vertebrates . In vertebrates, ray-finned fishes are the largest radiation of any group, and the East African cichlids represent arguably the most speciose modern examples of adaptive radiations. In the great lakes of East Africa (Tanganyika, Victoria, and Malawi) and within the last few million years [16, 17], one or a few ancestral lineages of cichlid fish have independently radiated to collectively give rise to over 1500 species. These species occupy a large diversity of ecological niches and differ dramatically in phenotypic traits, including skeletal morphology, dentition, color patterning, and a range of behavioral traits. We have previously demonstrated that a number of molecular mechanisms have shaped East African cichlid genomes, e.g., rapid evolution of regulatory elements and gene expression divergence , and the “evolutionary tinkering” of these systems has provided the necessary substrate for diversification . This, coupled with the recent origin of cichlid species and ongoing gene flow , suggests that evolutionary regulatory changes have an important functional role in controlling gene expression and, ultimately, phenotypic variation. However, very little is known about the genome-wide evolution of regulatory networks that may underlie several traits of cichlid phenotypic diversity. Here we developed a novel computational framework to characterize the evolution of regulatory networks and analyze the plausibility of whether the “tinkering” of regulatory systems could contribute towards phenotypic diversity in closely related cichlids. Gene co-expression is tissue-specific and highlights functional evolutionary trajectories We applied the Arboretum algorithm to RNA-seq data of six tissues in five species and identified 10 modules of 12,051–14,735 co-expressed genes (1205–1474 genes per module per species) represented across 18,799 orthogroups (Fig. 1a). Modules of co-expressed genes across the five species show varying expression levels in specific tissues, e.g., module 1 is eye specific, while module 3 is heart, kidney, and muscle specific (Fig. 1a). Consistent with the phylogeny and divergence times, there are more (13,171/18,799) orthologous genes that are conserved in module assignment (orthologous modules) in the three closely related haplochromines (Pundamilia nyererei, Maylandia zebra, and Astatotilapia burtoni) and Neolamprologus brichardi, than with Oreochromis niloticus (11,212/18,799 orthologous genes). Examples of modules where orthologs are not conserved in module assignment (non-orthologous modules) include modules 2, 4, and 6 (Additional file 1: Fig. S1a, blue off-diagonal elements) and are representative of gene expression divergence across the species. Between the haplochromines alone, 4179/18,799 orthologous genes are distributed in either one of two modules, e.g., 0 or 8 (Additional file 1: Fig. S1a, blue off-diagonal elements in haplochromines), indicative of gene expression divergence along the phylogeny. The assignment of co-expressed gene modules by Arboretum is inferred using a probabilistic framework starting from the last common ancestor (LCA) in the phylogeny. This allows us to model the evolutionary trajectory of orthologous genes and their co-expression along the species tree . Orthologous genes of each species can be assigned to non-orthologous modules (Fig. S-R1a), indicative of co-expression divergence and potential transcriptional rewiring from the LCA; this is referred to as “state changes” in module assignment. In total, 7587/18,799 (40%) orthologous genes exhibit state changes in module assignment across branches. To ensure orthologous genes of all branches are included in subsequent analysis, we focused on state changes of 6844 1-to-1 orthologous genes to assess convergent and unique state changes along the phylogeny (Fig. 1b). We identified convergent state changes of 732 genes along all ancestral nodes versus Anc4 (Additional file 1: Fig. S2). This is made up of 772 genes in Anc3 and Anc2, 734 genes in Anc3 and Anc1, and 996 genes in Anc2 and Anc1 (Additional file 1: Fig. S2), including a few TFs (46 TFs—Anc3-2-1; 49 TFs—Anc3-2; 46 TFs—Anc3-1; 66 TFs—Anc2-1) such as tbx20, nkx3-1, and hoxd10. We identified unique state changes and expression divergence of 655 genes along ancestral nodes (Fig. 1b), including several cellular and developmental TFs (51 TFs—Anc4/3; 20 TFs—Anc3/2; 34 TFs—Anc2/1) such as foxo1, hoxa11 and lbx1. Several of these state changed regulatory TFs are also enriched (fold enrichment 1.1–1.7; false discovery rate, FDR < 0.05) in gene promoters of relevant tissue-specific modules; for example, promoters of module 1 genes (eye-specific expression) are significantly enriched (fold enrichment 1.1–1.6; FDR < 0.05) for TF motifs involved in retina- and lens-related development/functions, e.g., CRX, PITX3, and OTX1 (Additional file 1: Fig. S3, Additional file 2: Fig. S2). Further examination identifies that there are differences in the levels of TF motif enrichment across species genes, including that of retina/lens-related TFs, e.g., RARα/β/γ and RXRα/β/γ of module 1 gene promoters in all species except N. brichardi (Additional file 1: Fig. S3, Additional file 2: Fig. S2). Such differences in motif enrichment could be associated with changes in the level of TF expression, where state changes (Fig. 1b) reflect shifted domains of tissue expression and imply differential regulatory control of target genes across tissues and along the phylogeny. We tested this by taking (1) the log expression ratio (as used for Arboretum input), for all 337 expressed TFs in each species tissue; (2) the corresponding 2064 TF motif enrichment scores (−log q-value, FDR < 0.05) calculated across 12,051–14,735 promoters regions of all species genes in the 10 modules; and (3) calculating the cross-species Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between the motif enrichment score and expression value of each TF and in each tissue (Additional file 2: Fig. S3-S8) using the n = 5 species. We note different patterns of correlation between cross-species TF motif enrichment and tissue-specific expression; in total, 102–119/337 TFs had no correlation (0 ≤ r ≤ 0.01, n = 5) and included many TFs that had large shifts in motif enrichment and/or expression in several species, representative of several phylogenetic state changes, e.g., Kidney-Module2-FOXO1 (r = 0.01, n = 5) (Extended Data S-R1F). On the other hand, there is positive correlation ranging from small (0.1 ≤ r ≤ 0.3, n = 5) for 161–197 TFs, medium (0.3 < r ≤ 0.5) for 161–186 TFs, and large values (0.5 < r ≤ 1) for 226–262 TFs. The largely correlated TFs (0.5 < r ≤ 1) includes cases where there is comparable motif enrichment scores across species, as calculated by the variance distribution (see “Methods”), and either no shifts (no TF state changes), e.g., Brain-Module9-FOXA2 (r = 0.97, n = 5, p value < 0.05) or focused shifts (TF state change in one or subsets of species), e.g., Eye-Module2-CDX1 (r = 0.98, n = 5, p value < 0.05) in TF tissue expression (Additional file 1: Fig. S5, Additional file 2: Fig. S3-S8). Such patterns of focused shifts in expression are also observed in TFs of selected modules like, for example, module 1 which contains eye-expressed genes. We find that retinal TFs that are known to modulate opsin expression, e.g., CRX , have variable motif enrichment (fold enrichment 1.2–1.4) in eye-expressed genes, and are associated (r = 0.85, n = 5, p value < 0.1) with a concurrent change (increase in four species or decrease in N. brichardi) in TF eye expression along the phylogeny (Additional file 1: Fig. S6; see Additional file 1text). For most TFs (226–262/337 TFs) and tissues, motif enrichment is largely correlated (0.5 < r ≤ 1) with TF expression. After calculating the variance of each TF motif enrichment and categorizing the tails into either similar or dissimilar levels of TF motif enrichment (see “Methods”), we note that similar motif enrichment (across species) is associated with either expression conservation (across all species) or subtle expression changes (in one or subsets of species) and is more stable (in expression differences) than TFs with dissimilar/variable motif enrichment along the phylogeny (Additional file 2: Fig. S3-S8). Gene co-expression differences and convergence between species could therefore be driven by differences in TF motif levels in gene promoter regions. Fine scale nucleotide variation at TF binding sites drives regulatory divergence in cichlids through GRN rewiring Cis-regulatory elements, including promoters and enhancers, are central to gene expression regulation, largely acting through the binding of TFs to multiple transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs). Therefore, mutations within TFBSs can alter target gene transcription without affecting the expression pattern of other genes co-regulated by the same TF, thus driving GRN evolution. In the five cichlid genomes however, there is no significant increase in evolutionary rate at promoter regions compared to fourfold degenerate sites (Additional file 1: Fig. S7). However, we identify a few outlier genes with significantly higher evolutionary rate at promoter regions at ancestral nodes (12–351 genes, Additional file 1: Fig. S7b) and within species (29–352 genes, Additional file 1: Fig. S7d), indicative of small-scale changes in promoter regions (see Additional file 1 text). Concurrently, of all the identified pairwise species variation (8 to 32 million variants), a large proportion (13–28%) overlap predicted TFBSs in promoter regions, and this is higher than (8–9%) of variants that are present in flanking gene promoter regions of the same length (Additional file 1: Table S2, Additional file 1: Fig. S8). GO enrichment analysis of co-expressed genes with variation in their regulatory regions, against a background of all genes in each genome, highlights associations with key molecular processes, e.g., signal transduction-promoter TFBSs (Additional file 1: Fig. S9). To further investigate patterns of divergent regulatory programs that could be associated with discrete nucleotide variation at regulatory binding sites, we developed and applied a computational framework (see “Methods,” Additional file 1: Fig. S20) to comparatively study regulatory interactions/relationships across the five cichlids. This involved the reconstruction of species-specific GRNs through the integration of different genomic datasets (Additional file 1: Table S3). We focused on regulatory interactions/relationships of trans-acting factors (TFs) and DNA (gene promoter regions); this involved integrating an expression-based network with in silico predictions of TF binding to target gene (TG) promoters using our cichlid-specific and vertebrate-wide TF motif scanning pipeline (see “Methods,” Additional file 1: Fig. S20). We first used species- and module-specific gene expression levels to infer an expression-based network (see “Methods,” Additional file 1: Fig. S20), generating 3180–4099 transcription factor-target gene (TF-TG) edges across the five species (FDR < 0.05, Additional file 1: Table S3). Next, based on our in silico TFBS motif prediction pipeline, we predicted TFBS motifs up to 20 kb upstream of a gene transcription start site (TSS), and using sliding window analysis of 100 nucleotides (nt), we retained TF motifs in the gene promoter region, defined as up to 5 kb upstream of a gene TSS (see “Methods,” Additional file 1: Fig. S22). Each statistically significant TFBS motif (FDR < 0.05) was associated to its proximal target gene (TG) and represented as two nodes and one TF-TG edge. Based on the integrated approach (see “Methods,” Additional file 1: Fig. S20), we predicted a total of 3,295,212–5,900,174 TF-TG edges (FDR < 0.05) across the five species that could be encoded into a matrix of 1,131,812 predicted TF-TG edges (FDR < 0.05), where each edge is present in at least two species. To ensure accurate analysis of GRN rewiring and to retain relevant TF-TG interactions, all collated edges were then further pruned to a total of 843,168 TF-TG edges (FDR < 0.05) where (1) the edge is present in at least two species; (2) edges are not absent in any species due to node loss or mis-annotation; and (3) edges are based on the presence of nodes in modules of co-expression genes (see “Methods”). We used three metrics to study large-scale TF-TG network rewiring between species that included: (1) state changes in module assignment; (2) DyNet network rewiring scores; and (3) TF rate of edge gain and loss in networks. The first metric compares TF-TG edges of a single “focal” species versus the other species in the context of gene co-expression, while the second and third metric compute a likelihood score for the overall extent of edge changes (across all species) associated with single nodes of interest. We first focused on 6844 1-to-1 orthologous genes represented in 215,810 TF-TG interactions, termed “TF-TG 1-to-1 edges,” along the five cichlid tree. Using a background set of all module genes (18,799 orthogroups), the TF-TG 1-to-1 edges are associated with morphogenesis and cichlid traits under selection, e.g., eye and brain development (FDR < 0.05, Additional file 1: Fig. S10a). There are 379 TFs represented in the TF-TG 1-to-1 edges, and we focus on their interactions/relationships to determine whether TFs with (state) changes in module assignment have altered regulatory edges. In the first metric, rewiring is characterized as a unique TF-TG edge present in only one “focal” species, where the TF node is (1) state changed in module assignment and (2) present as a node in different TF-TG edges in any/all of the other species. Using this metric, 50–70 out of the 379 TFs (13–18%) are rewired (spanning 4060–9423/215,810 edges, FDR < 0.05, Fig. 2a; see Additional file 1 text) and change module assignment across the five species (in one focal vs all four other species). The gene nodes connected by the rewired edges are associated with signalling pathways and processes such as cell differentiation and embryonic development (FDR < 0.05, background of all module genes, Fig. 2b). Further examination of rewiring rates in the networks of 6844 1-to-1 orthologous genes (in 215,810 TF-TG interactions) using the DyNet degree-corrected rewiring (Dn) score (Fig. 2c, Additional file 3: Table S1) identifies rewired networks of nine teleost and cichlid trait genes associated with morphogenesis from previous studies (Fig. 2c, Additional file 3: Table S2). These genes have a few standard deviations higher degree-corrected rewiring (Dn) score than the mean (0.17 ± 0.03 SD), and their rewiring scores are comparatively higher (Kolmogorov–Smirnov KS-test p value = 6 × 10− 4) than all 1-to-1 orthologs (Fig. 2c, left violin plot, orange dots; Additional file 3: Table S3; see Additional file 1 text). Examples of these rewired 1-to-1 genes include gdf10b associated with axonal outgrowth and fast evolving in cichlids and the visual opsin gene, rh2 (Fig. 2c, left violin plot; Additional file 3: Table S3 S-R3C). To enable a genome-wide study of network rewiring, we extend our analyses beyond the 6844 1-to-1 orthologs only, by including an additional 7746 many-to-many orthogroups (see “Methods”) resulting in a set of 843,168 “TF-TG all edges” across the five species. Using a background set of all module genes (18,799 orthogroups), the gene nodes in the 843,168 TF-TG all edges are associated with morphogenesis, e.g., retina development (FDR < 0.05, Fig. SR3aB). These edges include interactions of 783 TFs of which 13–18% (100–140 TFs) are predicted to be rewired (in 20,716-37,590/843,168 edges, FDR < 0.05, Fig. 2d) and change module assignment across the five species (in one focal vs all four other species), indicating their associated transcriptional programs (FDR < 0.05, background of all module genes) are also altered (Fig. 2e). By examining the network rewiring rates of 14,590 orthogroups (in 843,168 TF-TG interactions, Additional file 3: Table S4) using DyNet , we identify 60 candidate teleost and cichlid trait genes associated with phenotypic diversity from previous studies (Fig. 2c, right violin plot; Additional file 3: Table S5). These genes have a few standard deviations higher degree-corrected rewiring (Dn) score than the mean (0.23 ± 0.007 SD) of all orthologs, and their rewiring score is comparatively higher (KS-test p value = 6 × 10− 14) (Fig. 2c, right violin plot, orange dots; Additional file 3: Table S4). These genes include those associated with craniofacial development, e.g., dlx1a and nkx2-5 , telencephalon diversity, e.g., foxg1 , tooth morphogenesis, e.g., notch1 , and strikingly, most visual opsins, e.g., rho, sws2, and sws1, as well as genes associated with photoreceptor cell differentiation, actr1b , and eye development, pax6a (Fig. 2c, right violin plot; Additional file 3: Table S5). We then focus on the gain and loss rates of 186/783 TFs with > 25 TF-TG edges along the five cichlid tree (see “Methods”). Out of the 186 TFs, 133 (72%) are predicted to have a higher rate of edge gain than loss, e.g., DLX5 and NEUROD2, possibly acting as recruited regulators of gene expression in each branch from their last common ancestor (LCA) (Additional file 3: Table S6), whereas 53/186 TFs (28%) have a higher loss of edges than gains, e.g., OLIG2 and NR2C2, implying loss of gene expression regulatory activity from their LCA (Additional file 3: Table S6). In general, TFs and their binding sites are evolving towards gaining, rather than losing regulatory edges from their LCA. To further characterize the role of the observed changes in cis-regulatory elements and their potential association with cichlid traits, we extended our analyses to include several radiating cichlid species. We screened all predicted TFBS (see “Methods”) variants between M. zebra (a Lake Malawi species) and the other four cichlids, with their corresponding positions in 73 phenotypically distinct Lake Malawi species , to identify between-species variation at regulatory sites along the phylogeny (Additional file 1: Fig. S11). As expected, the majority of variation at regulatory sites is identified between M. zebra and distantly related Lake Malawi species clades, e.g., NKX2.1 TFBS in sws1 gene promoter, whereas shared ancestral sites are found with mainly same/closely related Lake Malawi clades, e.g., EGR2 TFBS in cntn4 gene promoter. Genes that are associated with traits under selection, e.g., visual systems (sws1) and morphogenesis (cntn4), harbor between species regulatory variants that segregate according to phylogeny and ecology of radiating lake species. Cis-regulatory changes lead to GRN alterations that segregate according to phylogeny and ecology of radiating cichlids Through our comparative approach, we can examine the regulatory network topology of several genes that are important for cichlid diversification [30, 31] and represented by our six tissues. As a case study, we focus on the cichlid visual system; the evolution of cichlid GRNs and diverse palettes of co-expressed opsins can induce large shifts in adaptive spectral sensitivity of adult cichlids , and thus, we hypothesize that opsin expression diversity is the result of rapid adaptive GRN evolution in cichlids. Indeed, by focusing on species utilizing the same wavelength visual palette and opsin genes, we note that several visual opsin genes (rh2b, sws1, sws2a, and rho) have considerably rewired regulatory networks (Additional file 3: Table S6). Across the predicted transcriptional networks of cichlid visual opsins, there are several visual-system-associated regulators (TFs) of opsin genes (sws2a, rh2b, and rho) that are either common, e.g., STAT1A, CRX, and GATA2, or unique to each species, e.g., IRF1, MAFA, and GATA2A (Additional file 1: Fig. S12–14). These patterns of TF regulatory divergence could therefore contribute to differential opsin expression. Sws1 (ultraviolet) opsin is utilized as part of the short-wavelength sensitive palette in N. brichardi and M. zebra. While there are common regulators associated with retinal ganglion cell patterning in both species networks, e.g., SATB1 , there are also several unique regulators associated with nuclear receptor signalling, e.g., RXRB and NR2C2 , and retinal neuron synaptic activity, e.g., ATRX (Fig. 3a). Overall, using a significance threshold of FDR < 0.05 for predicted TF-TG edges, there are more predicted unique TF regulators of sws1 in M. zebra (38 TFs) as compared to N. brichardi (6 TFs) (Fig. 3a, bottom right). Furthermore, we identify that a candidate regulatory variant has likely broken the M. zebra NR2C2/RXRB shared motif that is otherwise predicted 2 kb upstream of the N. brichardi sws1 TSS (Fig. 3b). Functional validation via EMSA confirms that NR2C2 and not RXRB binds to the predicted motif in the N. brichardi sws1 promoter, forming a complex, and the variant has likely disrupted binding, and possibly regulation of M. zebra sws1 (Fig. 3c, d). This is further supported by correlating expression values of these regulators and sws1, where NR2C2 is better associated with sws1 than RXRB, particularly when focusing on eye tissue (Additional file 1: Fig. S16a on right; Additional file 1: Fig. S16b; see Additional file 1text). In another example, rhodopsin (rho), associated with dim-light vision, is predicted to be regulated by GATA2 in O. niloticus, A. burtoni, and M. zebra but not its duplicate gene, GATA2A only in M. zebra (Additional file 1: Fig. S14). We identify a candidate variant (red arrow, Fig. 4a) that has likely broken the M. zebra GATA2A motif that is otherwise predicted 1.8 kb and 1.9 kb upstream of the O. niloticus and A. burtoni rho TSS (Fig. 4a). Functional validation via EMSA confirms that GATA2A binds to the predicted motif in the O. niloticus and A. burtoni rho promoter, and the variant is likely to have disrupted binding, and possibly regulation of M. zebra rho (Fig. 4b). Species-specific expression correlations with the rho target gene are supportive of GATA2’s possible conserved role in all three species (O. niloticus r = 0.89; A. burtoni r = 0.39; M. zebra r = 0.28, n = 6 Additional file 1: Fig. S17c), while a more divergent role of GATA2A (O. niloticus r = 0.79 and A. burtoni r = 0.21, n = 6) and negative correlation in M. zebra (r = − 0.18, n = 6) is supportive (Additional file 1: Fig. S17c) of the EMSA validation (Fig. 4). This further supports the notion that discrete point mutations in TFBSs could be driving GRN evolution and rewiring events in traits that are under selection in radiating cichlids. Finally, we studied GRN rewiring as a result of between species TFBS variation in the context of phylogeny and ecology of lake species. Owing to the variability and importance of spectral tuning of visual systems to the foraging habits of all cichlid species, we focused on variants at regulatory sites of rewired visual opsin genes in the Lake Malawi species, M. zebra, as a reference to compare GRN rewiring (through TFBS variation) that could be associated with the ecology of sequenced Lake Malawi species . If indeed the TFBSs are likely functional, we hypothesize that radiating species with similar foraging habits would share conserved regulatory genotypes, to possibly regulate and tune similar spectral sensitivities, whereas distally related species with dissimilar foraging habits would segregate at the corresponding regulatory site. For this, we started with 157,232 sites that (1) have identified variation between the five cichlid species and (2) are located in TFBSs of M. zebra candidate gene promoters. We identified 5710/157,232 sites with between species variation across 73 Lake Malawi species (Additional file 1: Fig. S11) that also exhibited flanking sequence conservation, representative of shared ancestral variation. The homozygous variant (T|T) that breaks binding of NR2C2 to M. zebra sws1 promoter (Fig. 3 and Fig. 5blue arrow) is (1) conserved with the fellow algae eater, Tropheops tropheops, that also utilizes the same short-wavelength palette; (2) heterozygous segregating (Petrotilapia genalutea—C|T and Iodotropheus sprengerae—T|C) in closely related Mbuna species; and (3) homozygous segregated (C|C) in distantly related Mbuna species (Cynotilapia afra, Corydoras axelrodi, and Genyochromis mento) and most other Lake Malawi species of which some utilize the same short-wavelength palette and are algae eaters, e.g., Hemitilapia oxyrhynchus (Fig. 5). This suggests that in species closely related to M. zebra, and with a similar diet and more importantly, habitat, sws1 may not be regulated by NR2C2, whereas in other species it could be, similar to N. brichardi (Fig. 3 and Fig. 5red arrow). In another example, regulation of rho by GATA2, and not its duplicate, GATA2A (Fig. 4), could be sufficient for regulating dim-light vision response in rock dweller species (M. zebra and possibly Petrotilapia genulatea, Tropheops tropheops and Iodotropheus sprengerae), but both gata2 copies could be required to regulate rho in many other Lake Malawi species (79% with C|C genotype that otherwise predicts the GATA2A TFBS in rho gene promoter), as well as A. burtoni and O. niloticus (Additional file 1: Fig. S14–15). This highlights the potential differential usage of a duplicate TF in dim-light vision regulation. Phylogenetic independent contrast analysis of the NR2C2-sws1 (Additional file 1: Fig. S18a-f) and GATA2A-rho (Additional file 1: Fig. S19a-f) genotypes against visual traits and ecology of each of the 73 Lake Malawi species highlights very little change in correlation once the phylogeny is taken into account and a regression model fitted. Based on these examples of TFBS variants that segregate according to phylogeny and ecology of lake species, GRN rewiring through TFBS variation could be a key contributing mechanism of evolutionary innovation, especially visual systems, in East African cichlid radiations. The evolutionary “tinkering” of regulatory systems through GRN divergence can facilitate the evolution of phenotypic diversity and rapid adaptation . Various mechanisms underlie these events, including horizontal gene transfer and regulatory reorganization in bacteria ; gene duplication in fungi ; cis-regulatory expression divergence in flies ; variable gene co-expression in worms ; dynamic rewiring of TFs in plant leaf shape ; coding and non-coding evolution in stickleback fish ; alternative splicing , and differential rate of gene expression evolution shaped by various selective pressures [44, 45] in mammals. However, since very little is known about the combined effect of some of these mechanisms; in-depth analyses of regulatory network evolution can shed light on the key contributing mechanisms associated with phenotypic effect across ecologically diverse species in a phylogeny. The three great lakes of East Africa (Tanganyika, Victoria, and Malawi) have independently experienced rapid radiations and explosive diversification of well over 1500 cichlid species. Alongside ecological opportunity , East African cichlid diversification has been shaped by complex evolutionary and genomic forces, including divergent selection acting upon regulatory regions that is largely based on a canvas of low genetic diversity between species . All of these findings imply the rapid evolution of regulatory networks underlying traits under selection; however, little is known about the genome-wide evolution of regulatory networks that may underlie several traits of cichlid phenotypic diversity . Here we developed a novel approach to identify and compare gene regulatory modules and networks across six tissues of five East African cichlid species. Along the phylogeny, our analyses identified gene co-expression modules with tissue-specific patterns and differential trajectories across six tissues of five cichlids. Between the haplochromine species alone, nearly a quarter of all orthologous genes are distributed in either one of two modules. Considering the smaller divergence time of the three haplochromines (~ 6 MYA) and the three haplochromines vs O. niloticus (~ 19 MYA) , this indicates gene expression divergence over different evolutionary timescales and co-expression of different clusters of genes across species. Given that the volumes and, hence, representation of region-specific cell types of selected organ, e.g., brain regions can be different, even between closely related cichlids , it is plausible that the observed expression differences between species are driven by changes in cell type abundances. However, given that expression data was generated from the organs of multiple similarly sized adult individuals and the identification of conserved tissue-specific patterns across all tissues and species, e.g., module 1 is eye specific (Fig. 1a), we suspect that the majority of observed co-expression differences are connected to gene regulatory differences. Indeed, these genes are predicted to be regulated by divergent suites of regulators, including TFs that are state changed in co-expression module assignment. This suggests that gene co-expression differences and convergence between species could be driven by differences in TF motif levels in gene promoter regions and could be associated with gene regulatory changes underpinning traits under selection in cichlids, such as the visual system . In the five cichlids, transcriptional rewiring events and differential gene expression could therefore contribute to phenotypic diversity of the six studied tissues. Cis-regulatory elements (including promoters and enhancers) are central to cichlid gene expression regulation , and in this study, we show that discrete nucleotide variation at binding sites drives regulatory edge divergence through GRN rewiring events. Comparative analysis of GRNs across species identifies that TFs and their binding sites are evolving towards gaining, rather than losing regulatory edges, and possibly regulatory activity of genes from their LCA. Comparative GRN analysis also identified striking cases of rapid network rewiring for genes known to be involved in traits under natural and/or sexual selection, such as the visual system, possibly shaping cichlid adaptation to a variety of ecological niches. While there are common regulators of the sws1 visual opsin in two species (N. brichardi and M. zebra) sharing the same short-wavelength palette, the sws1 networks of these two species have substantially diverged. Such tight TF-based regulation of N. brichardi sws1 could induce rapid shifts in expression and spectral shift sensitivities between a larger peak ƛmax of 417 nm in N. brichardi single cones compared to 368 nm of M. zebra SWS1 . Also, diverse regulation in M. zebra can increase sws1 expression and, in turn, increase spectral sensitivity to UV light and the ability for M. zebra to detect/feed on UV-absorbing phytoplankton and algae, as previously shown for Lake Malawi cichlids . In regulatory regions of sws1, in vitro assays confirm that variations in TFBSs (NR2C2) have driven network structure rewiring between the two species (N. brichardi and M. zebra) sharing the same visual palette. Since the modulation of cichlid visual sensitivity occurs through heterochronic shifts in opsin expression , our results are consistent with recent findings that visual tuning differences between cichlid species require regulatory mutations that are constrained by mutational dynamics . Gene duplications have also been implicated in cichlid evolutionary divergence, including differences in duplicate TF gene expression . However, due to incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and variability in duplicates identified by three separate methods (gene trees, read-depth analyses and array comparative genomic hybridization) , we instead focus on particular examples of gene duplication associated with network rewiring of visual system genes. We predict that the dim-light vision gene, rho, is regulated by GATA2 and potentially common to regulating dim-light vision in M. zebra, A. burtoni, and O. niloticus but a duplicate TF, GATA2A, is predicted to be a unique regulator of rho in A. burtoni and O. niloticus only, owing to a variant in the GATA2A TFBS of the M. zebra rho gene promoter. Furthermore, M. zebra variants overlapping TFBSs in gene promoter regions, e.g., sws1 (NR2C2) and rho (GATA2A) segregate according to phylogeny and ecology of Lake Malawi species , suggesting ecotype-associated network rewiring events could be linked to traits under selection in East African cichlid radiations. This is consistent with the adaptive potential of visual system evolution in cichlid species, where changes in spectral tuning of visual signals are likely to lead to dramatic species evolution and possibly speciation events . Given that single regulatory mutations of Tbx2a can cause heterochronic shifts in opsin expression and visual tuning diversity between two distinct cichlid species , it is likely that the regulatory variation at opsin gene promoter TFBSs that we have predicted and experimentally validated, is a contributing mechanism of evolutionary innovation across many cichlid species. Furthermore, the identification (in predicted TFBSs) of segregating sites across several Lake Malawi species, with conservation of flanking regions, is indicative of shared ancestral variation and functional evolutionary constraint. The differences we identify at opsin gene promoter TFBSs and their implications in visual tuning could correspond to species variation of habitat choice, foraging habits, diet, and male nuptial coloration. Phylogenetic independent contrast analysis shows that fitting the Lake Malawi phylogeny has little effect on the correlation between regulatory genotypes, visual traits, and ecology, suggesting possible covariance between these genotypes and traits. However, given the weak correlation (low adjusted r2 and p values), the impact of ecotype-associated network rewiring events requires further testing. This analysis would further benefit from (1) the addition of any missing data (wavelength palette, habitat, and/or foraging habit/diet) in the phylogeny; (2) the addition of further variables, e.g., average water depth measurements; (3) additional species data from lowly represented clades, e.g., Mbuna; and (4) further experimental testing, particularly in phenotypically divergent species pairs. Beyond the visual systems, we also identify network rewiring of genes associated with several cichlid adaptive traits like, for example, runx2 associated with jaw morphology ; ednrb1 in pigmentation and egg spots [18, 55]; and egr1 implicated in behavioral phenotypes . These also represent case studies that can be validated in species pairs that diverge for the trait of interest. The regulatory networks generated here represent a rich scientific resource for the community, powering further molecular analysis of adaptive evolutionary traits in cichlids. As an example, further examination of the vast regulatory factors that we have predicted for the visual systems that could both up- and downregulate opsin expression diversity and could further shed light on preliminary studies of SWS1 , LWS, and RH2 in other cichlid species. This could involve further functional validation to define a definitive link to trait variation by (1) high-throughput protein-DNA assays to confirm binding of hundreds of sites; (2) reporter and/or cell-based TF-perturbation assays to show that the regulatory variants indeed affect transcription; and (3) genome editing, e.g., CRISPR mutations of TFBS variants followed by phenotyping to observe trait effect. Nonetheless, this study is the first genome-wide exploration of GRN evolution in cichlids, and the computational framework (Additional file 1: Fig. S20) is largely applicable to other phylogenies to study the evolution of GRNs. In this study, we largely focus on cis-regulatory mechanisms of GRN rewiring. However, given the potential impact of other genetic mechanisms (protein coding changes, small RNAs, and posttranslational modifications) towards cichlid phenotypic diversity [18, 46], our framework can be extended by the inclusion of relevant datasets to allow for studies on the regulatory effect of other mechanisms, e.g., miRNAs, enhancers, and gene duplications on network topology during cichlid evolution. While many of the predicted TF-TG interactions/relationships could be false positives, our integrative approach ensured that we could apply rigorous filtering at each step, including stringent statistical significance measures, co-expression-based pruning, and all while accounting for gene node loss and mis-annotations in selected species (see “Methods”). While it appears that cichlids utilize an array of regulatory mechanisms that are also shown to drive phenotypic diversity in other organisms [11, 39,40,41,42, 58], we provide experimental support of selected TF-TG rewiring events in regulatory regions of genes associated with adaptive traits in cichlids . This is further supported by large-scale genotyping studies of the predicted sites in radiating cichlid species . This potential link between GRN evolution and genes associated with adaptive trait variation in cichlids requires additional experimental verification and support by further studies on cichlid species that largely focus on large-scale genotyping ; whole-genome analysis and transgenesis assays ; behavioral and transcriptomic assays ; population studies and CRISPR mutant assays ; and transcriptomic/cis-regulatory assays [35, 49, 52, 57]. We present a novel computational framework to study the evolution of regulatory networks in representative species of the rapid adaptive radiations of East African cichlids. Using six tissues from five species, our approach identified tissue-specific gene expression divergence between the five cichlid species that is likely associated with gene regulatory changes. As a case study, we focus on a well-studied trait—the visual system—for which we identified regulatory variation at TFBSs and demonstrate how the functional disruption of TFBSs abrogates binding of key regulators and, thus, can drive GRN evolution. Our approach revealed hundreds of novel potential regulatory regions and regulators of the five cichlid genomes, many of which have been previously associated with evolutionary traits. In conclusion, we show that regulatory network evolution can be driven by discrete changes at regulatory binding sites, and network rewiring events are likely to be a contributing source to evolutionary innovations in radiating cichlid species. This approach, with further functional validations, has the potential to identify novel genes linked to other evolutionary traits in cichlids and other evolutionary systems. A comparative framework to study the evolution of tissue-specific regulatory networks in cichlids We developed a comparative framework (Additional file 1: Fig. S20) to infer gene regulatory networks across five representative East African cichlid species—O. niloticus (On), N. brichardi (Nb), A. burtoni (Ab), P. nyererei (Pn), and M. zebra (Mz). Our framework comprises (1) identifying modules of co-expressed genes from multi-tissue/multi-species and single-tissue/multi-species data; (2) integrating several datasets (gene expression and cis regulatory regions) to reconstruct gene regulatory networks (GRNs) to find fine-grained tissue-specific network modules; (3) examining factors driving evolutionary innovation in cichlids, i.e. nucleotide divergence within regulatory binding sites and determining their mechanistic roles towards regulatory network and module divergence; and (4) using an integration of the reconstructed networks, co-expression modules, and enrichment of curated biological processes to interpret GRN evolution of genes in the context of cichlid adaptive traits. Inference of multi- and single-tissue transcriptional modules in five cichlids We ran Arboretum , an algorithm for identifying modules of co-expressed genes on gene expression values of six tissues (brain, eye, heart, kidney, muscle, testis) from five cichlid species—O. niloticus (On), N. brichardi (Nb), A. burtoni (Ab), P. nyererei (Pn), and M. zebra (Mz) . Tissues were isolated and RNA extracted from several adult individuals as described previously and summarized here: O. niloticus tissues were isolated from Swansea stock individuals in the laboratory of Dr. Gideon Hulata (Volcani Center, Bet Dagan, Israel) and RNA extracted in the lab of Dr. Micha Ron (Volcani Center, Bet Dagan, Israel) using the mirVana™ miRNA Isolation Kit (Ambion); N. brichardi tissues were isolated from individuals inbred for ~ 10 generations in the laboratory of Prof. Walter Salzburger (University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland) and RNA extracted using TRIzol® (Invitrogen, USA); A. burtoni tissues were isolated from individuals inbred for ~ 60 generations in the laboratory of Dr. Hans Hoffman (University of Texas, Austin, TX, USA) and RNA extracted using TRIzol® (Invitrogen, USA); P. nyererei tissues were isolated from individuals inbred for ~ 5 generations in the lab of Prof. Ole Seehausen and RNA extracted using the QIAGEN RNeasy Plus Universal mini kit; M. zebra tissues were isolated from wild individuals in the laboratory of Dr. Karen Carleton (University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA) and RNA extracted using the QIAGEN RNeasy Kit. In brief, the gene expression values used here were obtained from , and as described previously, this included (1) confirming RNA integrity on Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer; (2) construction of RNA-seq libraries using a strand-specific dUTP protocol; (3) sequencing of RNA-seq libraries on HiSeq2000 (Illumina), yielding > 35 million 76 bp paired-end reads per tissue; (4) de novo transcriptome assembly using Trinity and splice junction database from PASA gene models; (5) read alignment with TopHat2 ; and (6) calculating gene expression values (FPKM) with Cufflinks using the protein-coding gene annotation as reference . To ensure equality in n-fold change of expression, the gene expression values were log-transformed as: log(x + 1), where x is the raw expression value , and “log” is the natural logarithm, and then expression was normalized across each gene to have mean zero to be used as input for Arboretum . The log expression ratio shown across modules is each gene expression relative to the mean expression across all tissues. Selection of the six tissues allowed us to study tissue-specific associated traits under natural and/or sexual selection in cichlids: brain (development, behavior and social interaction); eye (adaptive water depth/turbidity vision); heart (blood circulation and stress response); kidney (hematopoiesis and osmoregulation associated with water adaptation); muscle (size, shape, and movement associated with dimorphism and agility); and testis (sexual systems associated with behavior and dimorphism). In total, 18,799 orthogroups, including 69,989 genes, and 34,220 1-to-1 orthologous genes (see “Cichlid gene trees”), and their associated expression data and gene tree information were inputted into Arboretum . In total, this represents 59–68% of all protein-coding genes in the five cichlid genomes . Certain annotated cichlid genes could not be included for a few reasons: (1) lack of tissue expression data for all five species; (2) no mapped reads for selected tissues; (3) Lack of co-expression with other genes; and (4) use of single development stage (adult). We selected the number of modules using a combination of strategies. First, we tried to identify the optimal number of multi-tissue modules (k) automatically from the data by scoring the Arboretum learned model based on the penalized log likelihood and silhouette index for k = 7–14 modules in increments of 1 (Additional file 1: Fig. S21a). This gave us k = 10 and 12 as the settings were local maxima for silhouette index. Second, we manually inspected the modules to see if increases of k yield patterns of expression that we have not seen before or generate recurring patterns (k = 12 is shown in Additional file 1: Fig. S21b). Based on our strategy, we found k = 10 modules to be optimal. Finally, we devised a metric for the top three random initializations, based on a silhouette index, orthology overlap, and cross-species cluster mean dissimilarity, selecting the optimal k stable to the initialization. Using a similar approach, this time for single tissues clustering, we found k = 5 modules to be optimal. The single-tissue modules were only initially used to assess tissue-specific gene expression divergence. Handling ILS in arboretum The Arboretum algorithm internally tries to reconcile a tree that is not obeying the species tree by adding additional duplication and loss events. An alternate approach is to use a different species trees each representing the different ILS types and estimating the parameters of each such tree. However, there are many different cases of ILS, as identified previously , and the number of gene trees in each category varied significantly. Estimating the conditional distributions for each branch in each ILS type would not be feasible as there are not enough example trees. Cichlid gene trees By considering the gene tree of 18,799 orthologous groups (orthogroups), Arboretum is able to generate module assignments reflecting many-to-many relationships between orthologs resulting from gene duplication and loss. To construct gene trees with different levels of duplication, we obtained the protein sequences of the longest transcripts from five cichlids as well as stickleback, spotted gar, and zebrafish as outgroups. Spotted gar was added as it predates the teleost-specific genome duplication event (3R) and zebrafish, as a model teleost to leverage known molecular interactions as an initial prediction of functional relationships in cichlids based on orthology. We applied OrthoMCL-1.4.0 followed by TreeFix-1.1.10 to learn the reconciled gene trees. We noticed that several of the trees exhibited incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) for the cichlid-specific subtree but disappeared once the tree was relearned using the cichlid only species. We therefore relearned gene trees for the cichlid only species—in total, we reconstructed 17,858 gene families of which 108 had gene duplication events. A fraction of these (29 gene families) also exhibited ILS. We also observed ILS for gene groups without gene duplications: of the 17,756 gene families that had no duplication, 810 exhibited ILS. Functional and transcription factor binding site (TFBS) enrichment in modules We use the false discovery rate (FDR) corrected hypergeometric p value (q-value) test to assess enrichment of Gene Ontology (GO) terms and TFBSs (motifs) in a given gene set. In all cases, enrichment is tested using a set-based approach where a set of candidate genes is compared to a background (control set) of either all genes in species modules (18,799 orthogroups) or each genome (stated within figure legend for each test). We summarize the enrichment of terms/motifs with q < 0.05 statistical significance and conservation in all extant and ancestral species. GO terms for the five cichlids were from those published previously . To study cis-regulatory elements likely driving tissue-specific expression patterns, we defined promoter regions for all genes in each of the five genomes. For this, we used the following published assemblies and associated gene annotations for each species: P. nyererei—PunNye1.0, NCBI BioProject: PRJNA60367; BROADPN2 annotation; M. zebra—MetZeb1.1, NCBI BioProject: PRJNA60369; BROADMZ2 annotation; A. burtoni—AstBur1.0, NCBI BioProject: PRJNA60363; BROADAB2 annotation; N. brichardi—NeoBri1.0, NCBI BioProject: PRJNA60365; BROADNB2 annotation; O. niloticus—Orenil1.1 (NCBI BioProject: PRJNA59571; BROADON2 annotation. Gene promoter regions were defined as up to 5 kb upstream of the transcription start site (TSS) of each gene. This gene promoter region is based on analyzing the distribution of motifs in 100-nt window regions up to 20 kb upstream of each gene TSS, and observing a plateau of motifs (and distribution of CNEs) after ~ 5 kb in each species (Additional file 1: Fig. S22). Motif enrichment in cis-regulatory regions was carried out using TFBSs obtained by the method below, with a background (control set) of all motifs (FDR < 0.05) predicted within module gene promoters. Transcription factor (TF) motif scanning TFBSs of known vertebrate transcription factors (TFs) were obtained from the JASPAR vertebrate core motif (2018 release) . Binding peak information from ChIP-seq experiments of various human and mouse TFs were retrieved from GTRD v17.04 and associated to protein-coding genes within a vicinity of 10 kb. Using core motif sequences available from JASPAR or alternative databases like UniPROBE and HOCOMOCO , sequences matching these motifs were identified within the TF binding peaks. In cases where the core motifs were not available for specific TFs with ChIP-seq data, they were predicted de novo from the sequences under peaks themselves using MEME with default settings. The aforementioned steps provided a list of transcription factor-target gene (TF-TG) interactions with the exact coordinates of the corresponding binding site(s). Cichlid sites were extrapolated based on (1) gene-level orthology; (based on gene trees above), (2) minimum 70% sequence similarity [70, 71] between the vertebrate motif sequence and a sequence within the cichlid promoter, and (3) functional domain overlap as derived using Interpro scan 5 to both source organisms (human, mouse). Extrapolated sites from the promoters of each cichlid species were used to construct cichlid species-specific (CS) Position Specific Scoring Matrices (PSSMs) for each TF using the info-gibbs script from the RSAT tool suite . In cases where the number of extrapolated sites per species was less than three, we aggregated the sites to construct generic cichlid-wide (CW) PSSMs. Using the PSSMs for each TF, we scanned up to 20 kb upstream of a genes TSS and conserved non-coding elements (CNEs) with FIMO using either (1) an optimal calculated p value for each TF PSSM, calculated using the matrix quality script from the RSAT tool suite , with 1000 matrix permutations, or (2) FIMO default p value (1e−4) for JASPAR PSSMs and PSSMs for which an optimal p value could not be determined. Based on the distribution of motifs in 100-nt windows of up to 20 kb upstream of gene TSSs (Additional file 1: Fig. S22), we only retained motifs up to 5 kb upstream of a gene TSS as the gene promoter region (Additional file 1: Fig. S22). Statistically significant motifs were called using a q-value (FDR) < 0.05 and grouped in confidence levels and scores of (1a) overlap of mouse and human to cichlid extrapolated—0.3; (1b) mouse to cichlid extrapolated—0.2; (1c) human to cichlid extrapolated—0.15; (2a) FIMO scans using extrapolated CS matrices—0.125; (2b) FIMO scans using extrapolated CW matrices—0.110; and (2c) FIMO scans using JASPAR matrices—0.115. To assess whether motifs are predicted by chance, we also scanned randomized promoter sequences using the same PSSMs. Calculating tissue specificity index (tau) As a measure for tissue specificity of gene expression, we calculated τ (Tau) using log-transformed and normalized gene expression data (as inputted to run Arboretum): Here, n is the number of tissues and xi is the expression profile component normalized by the maximal component value . The values of tau vary from 0 to 1: ubiquitous or broad expr (τ ≤ 0.5); intermediate expr (0.5 < τ < 0.9); and tissue-specific or narrow expr (τ ≥ 0.9) . Amongst existing methods, τ has been shown to be a reliable method for calculating tissue specificity . Testes normally express far more genes than any other tissue, generally displaying a tissue-specific pattern of expression. As tau was used to assess genome-wide expression levels across all tissues, but between species, testis expression data was included for each species to obtain a true representation of variation in transcriptional programs. Variation and evolutionary rate at coding and non-coding regions We noticed several anomalous start site annotations of genes in M. zebra, P. nyererei, A. burtoni, and N. brichardi when compared to O. niloticus. Owing to these anomalies, we re-defined gene start sites to extract putative promoter regions. For each gene, we used the 1st exon (± 100 bp) of the longest protein-coding sequence in O. niloticus to identify, via BLAT-35 , corresponding orthologous start sites in the other four cichlid genomes. We filtered the output based on coherent overlap with original annotations and orthogroups in cichlid gene trees. We re-annotated gene start sites (M. zebra—10,654/21,673; P. nyererei—10,030/20,611; A. burtoni—10,050/23,436; N. brichardi—8464/20119) based on BLAT orthology and end sites based on original annotations , which was otherwise used for annotating the remaining genes. Based on new annotations, for all 1:1 orthologs where gene expression data is available and there is no overlap of gene bodies, we extracted putative promoter regions, taken as up to 5 kb upstream of the transcription start site (TSS) as per methods above. Using mafft-7.271 , we aligned 1:1 orthologous promoter, cds and protein sequences based on orthogrouping in gene trees (see “Cichlid gene trees”). We estimated the number of nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous site (dN) and synonymous substitutions per synonymous site (dS) in the 1:1 protein alignments using the codeml program in the PAML-4.9 package for each branch and ancestral node in the species tree. Otherwise, we estimated evolutionary rate for each branch and ancestral node in the species tree at promoter regions and fourfold degenerate sites, using 1:1 promoter and cds alignments in baseml and codeml programs in the PAML-4.9 package , requiring that at least 10% of the alignment contains nucleotides and that at least 100 nucleotides are present for each species. By using the published “cichlid-5way.maf” , we categorized pairwise substitutions for all species and intersected with annotated genomics regions (see Additional file 1: Table S2) using bedtools-2.25.0 intersect . Reconstructing regulatory networks To infer essential drivers of tissue-specific expression in cichlids, we constructed regulatory and functional interaction/association networks through the integration of several datasets and approaches (Additional file 1: Fig. S20). This approach was largely centered on the integration of expression-based and in silico TFBS motif prediction-based networks. We first used species- and module-specific gene expression levels to infer an expression-based network. For this, we merged the cichlid gene expression data into a single 30 (five species, six tissues) dimensional dataset to learn cichlid-specific transcription factor (TF)-target gene (TG) interactions using the Per Gene Greedy (PGG) approach, a prior expression-based network inference method . We projected the network into species-specific networks by considering edges that would not be present due to gene loss. We then integrated in silico-predicted TF-TG edges (see “Transcription factor (TF) motif scanning”) based on TFBS predictions in gene promoter regions. To ensure accurate analysis of GRN rewiring through an integrative approach, all collated edges were then pruned to ensure edges were (1) not absent in at least one species due to gene loss/poor annotation and (2) based on the presence of genes in co-expression modules. To maintain a structured and connected network approach, we analyzed network topology using two methods; firstly, and to ensure suitable integration of co-expression data with all TF-TG predicted edges, one set of all gene nodes and their edges were constrained by Arboretum module assignments to correlate to their respective patterns of tissue-specific expression and co-expression module analysis. Secondly, since all included genes will not necessarily exhibit tissue-specific co-expression (and cluster accordingly) due to (1) differences in cell type abundance, (2) cell heterogeneity; and (3) small development stage differences, and as well as despite not being co-expressed, the fact that TFs are trans-acting factors able to regulate any gene, we also analyzed all network edges for selected candidate genes without constraining based on module assignment (co-expression). Accordingly, for candidate genes with rewired networks, we also analyzed network topology without constraining edges based on same module assignment (co-expression) and, instead, analyzed the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between cross-species significant TF motif enrichment (FDR < 0.05), taken as −log(q-value), in all module genes and expression (zero-mean log expression ratio) in each tissue. Similar or dissimilar levels of TF motif enrichment were determined by calculating the variance over each TF motif enrichment, taken as −log(q-value) across the five species, and then by plotting the density distribution of the variance, categorizing TFs in each of the tails into similar or dissimilar fold enrichment (FE). Functional landscape of reconstructed regulatory networks We use the FDR-corrected hypergeometric p value to assess enrichment of GO terms for genes in reconstructed networks. We used GO terms for the published five cichlids and carried out enrichment analysis as previously done for Arboretum module genes (see “Methods” above). Regulatory rewiring analysis of gene sets Regulatory rewiring of TF-TG interactions is based on predictions derived from TFBS scanning and TF-TG co-expression relationships inferred by the PGG method . To ensure rewiring of TFs are correctly compared between species, and not based on gene loss/poor annotation, we only included edges for analysis where the TF had a 1-to-1 orthologous relationship in species where the TF-TG relationship or non-directed relationship exists. Also, we filtered out any TGs and their TF interaction/relationships if, based on orthologous gene tblastx , whether the gene was present in the genome but not annotated. Of the 18,799 orthogroups used for generating modules of co-expressed genes and network interactions, 4209 orthogroups had many-to-many genes actually present in the genome of at least one of the five species. These 4209 orthogroups were filtered out, retaining 843,168/1,131,812 predicted TF-TG edges across the five species; in summary, these represent edges that are (1) present in at least two species, (2) not absent in any species due to node loss or mis-annotation; and (3) based on the presence of nodes in modules of co-expression genes. The 843,168/1,131,812 predicted TF-TG edges across the five species were then used for network rewiring analysis. Three metrics were used to study large-scale TF-TG network rewiring between species that included (1) state changes in module assignment, (2) DyNet network rewiring scores and (3) TF rate of edge gain and loss in networks. State changes in module assignment In this metric, a rewired edge is where a unique TF-TG edge is present in only one “focal” species, but the TF ortholog is state changed in module assignment and is a node in other TF-TG edges in any of the other species. DyNet network rewiring scores The DyNet-2.0 package , implemented in Cytoscape-3.7.1 , was used for network visualization and calculation of a degree-corrected rewiring (Dn) score of TF-TG interactions in each orthogroup. The Dn score for each orthogroup was ordered and the mean calculated; the significance of difference of each orthogroups rewiring score against all orthogroups was compared by calculating differences in the standard deviation and applying the non-parametric Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (KS-test). TF rate of edge gain and loss in networks Gain and loss rate analyses were similar to that performed previously . This approach uses a continuous-time Markov process parameterized by TF-TG edge gain and loss rates and uses an expectation-maximization (EM)-based algorithm to estimate rates [83, 84]. The input network comprised target genes of 783 individual regulator genes mapped across the five cichlid species based on gene orthology. Each species regulator required a minimum of 25 edges as < 25 edges greatly hinder statistical analysis in this context. This resulted in a total of 345 regulators with 25 to 23,935 edges, with an average of 2609. Gain and loss rate was estimated for each regulator using the EM-based algorithm on the edge gain and loss pattern across the five cichlid phylogeny. Rates were inferred using published five cichlid branch lengths that described neutral sequence evolution across the species. Stability analysis of rate estimations were carried out as follows: (1) gain and loss rate input values were scanned from 0 to 400 in intervals of 5 for each regulator matrix, and (2) from each scan, rates with the greatest likelihood were chosen as the recommended gain and loss rate (< 100), defining a final set of inferred rates for 186/345 regulators. Identification of segregating sites in TFBSs Species pairwise variation was identified based on an M. zebra v1.1 assembly centered 8-way teleost multiz alignment . Pairwise (single-nucleotide) variants were then overlapped with TFBS positions as determined by TF motif scanning using bedtools-2.25.0 intersect . Pairwise variants of M. zebra were overlapped with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Lake Malawi species using bedtools-2.25.0 intersect . Both sets of pairwise variants overlapping motifs and lake species SNPs were then filtered based on the presence of the same pairwise variant in orthologous promoter alignments. This ensured concordance of whole-genome alignment-derived variants with variation in orthologous promoter alignments and predicted motifs. At each step, reference and alternative allele complementation was accounted for to ensure correct overlap. This analysis was not to distinguish population differentiation due to genetic structure, but to instead map regulatory variants onto a number of radiating cichlid species to link to phylogenetic and ecological traits. Phylogenetic independent contrasts Phylogenetic independent contrasts (PICs) were carried out to statistically test the effect of fitting the least controversial and all included 73 Lake Malawi species phylogeny on the covariance of segregating TFBSs, visual (wavelength palette) and ecological traits (habitat and foraging habit/diet). This involved (1) categorically coding segregating TFBS genotypes (of NR2C2 > sws1 and GATA2A > rho), visual trait and ecological measurements for each of the 73 Lake Malawi species (119 individuals), and (2) using the ape package (v5.4.1) in R (v4.0.2) to apply the PICs test on all correlations with the TFBS genotypes (genotype vs wavelength palette, genotype vs habitat, and genotype vs foraging habit/diet). PICs assume a linear relationship and process of Brownian motion between traits, and thus, for each combination of data, a scatterplot was first generated. To test any change in the correlation (due to phylogenetic signal), the regression model was compared between relationships excluding and including the published Lake Malawi phylogeny . Expression of protein DNA-binding domains (DBDs) DNA-binding domains (DBDs) of cichlid proteins (NR2C2 and RXRB) were predicted based on alignment and conservation to annotated human and mouse orthologs. M. zebra and N. brichardi individuals were sacrificed according to schedule 1 killing using overdose of MS-222 (tricaine) at The University of Hull, UK and University of Basel, Switzerland. Tissues were stored in RNA later using a 1:5 ratio. RNA was extracted from brain, liver, and testis tissues of adult M. zebra and N. brichardi using the RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen), achieving RNA integrity (RIN) in the range of 8–10 (Agilent Bioanalyzer Total RNA Pico Assay). First-strand cDNA synthesis of DBD-specific regions was carried out using RevertAid H Minus Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo Scientific) and DBDs amplified (2-step RT-PCR) using Platinum Taq DNA Polymerase (Invitrogen) and the primers listed in Additional file 1: Table S1. Resulting cDNA was concentrated using Minelute PCR purification (Qiagen) and 700 ng used for in vitro transcription/translation using TnT T7 Quick for PCR DNA (Promega) and the Fluorotect GreenLys tRNA (Promega) labelling system. DBD expression was resolved by SDS-PAGE and detection using the fluorescein filter in the ChemiDoc Touch (Bio-Rad) system. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) validation of predicted TF-TG interactions EMSA was carried out using double-stranded Cy5 fluorophore 5′-modified (IDT) DNA probes, in vitro expressed DBDs (see above) and the Gel Shift Assay Core System (Promega). Double-stranded DNA probes were generated by annealing sense and antisense oligonucleotides (see Additional file 1: Table S1) in annealing buffer (10 mM Tris pH 7.5, 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM NaCl) for 3 min at 96 °C, 1 min at 90 °C, 1 min at 85 °C, 3 min at 72 °C, 1 min at 65 °C, 1 min at 57 °C, 1 min at 50 °C, 3 min at 42 °C, and 3 min at 25 °C in a PCR thermocycler. Binding reactions were carried out in a final volume of 9 μl composed of Gel Shift Binding 5x Buffer (20% glycerol, 5 mM MgCl2, 2.5 mM EDTA, 2.5 mM DTT, 250 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.25 mg/ml poly (dI-dC)•poly (dI-dC)); 0.01 μM of Cy5-dsDNA probe covering the motif and flanking region (28 nt); and either 23 ng (RXRB, 10.42 kDa) or 27 ng (NR2C2, 10.73 kDa) of expressed DBD. For EMSA validation with increasing Nr2c2 DBD concentrations, 1× = 27 ng. For kit controls, 0.01 μM of human SP1 DNA probe was combined with 10,000 ng HeLa nuclear extract. Binding reactions were incubated at room temperature for 20 min. Protein-DNA complexes were resolved on 1 mm NuPAGE 4–12% Bis-Tris polyacrylamide gels (Invitrogen) in 0.5× TBE at 100 V for 60 min. Protein-DNA complexes were detected using the Cy5 filter on the ChemiDoc MP (Bio-Rad) system. Exposure settings were adjusted in Image Lab v6.0.1_build34 (Bio-Rad) with same high (5608), low (1152) and gamma (1.0) values set for all associated images.

I know it does not make me an early adopter in 2021, but I decided to buy a Kindle this month. It was a decision long time coming, so I decided to make use of a special offer on Amazon.de – one that we need to use in Poland, to get our stuff quickly, cheap and duty free. Curse you, Brexit… Why an e-reader? Why Kindle? Why now? I’ve been observed to loudly preach the superiority of paper books. The feel, the smell, the look of these physical objects are unmatched by anything the devices might offer. The books that are really important to me, I will always want to have on my shelves. My library is more than a source of reading material. It’s the extension of my self, my identity, a statement you can’t fail to notice when you enter my flat. And I don’t even need e-reader on my vacation, I happily carry huge volumes to the beach. But lets face it, I’ve read an occasional epub on my phone and it wasn’t super-comfortable, but I still had fun. That’s how I read a few Warhammer novels in 2020. And, full disclosure, I actually was a relatively early adopter, buying a Barnes & Noble Nook almost exactly 10 years ago. There weren’t many e-readers in Poland back then. I read a couple dozen books, buying some from Kobo, and receiving a disc with free e-books from Baen, with my first Honor Harrington hardcover. In the long run, it did not take. Most of the e-books were not priced significantly lower than the proper versions, not all were available to me. I could not buy them from Barnes & Noble, my device’s producers, as they did not sell to my country. Kobo was the only option back then, and they were ok, but I preferred to pay for physical object, not files.. This one’s for Will, who came up with the brilliant idea of combining the themes of our 2020 most popular/most liked posts: my review of Neal Asher’s The Line of Polity and Piotrek’s report from his Sicilian Vacation. So I took my trusty Asher with me, and here we are :D. Don’t worry, I will write a proper review of The Technician in due time 😉 The lake above lies near a still active volcano; its shores are made of pumice and sand, and the waters cover chunks of obsidian. Bhind us by the lake is Tarawera – the volcano responsible for the destruction of a natural wonder called Pink and White Terraces in the late 19th century. I suspect the obsidian and pumice present in the lake might be remnants of that historical eruption, which dramatically altered the entire landscape around the volcano. Piotrek: Wow! We made it through another year! The blog, that is, but the world as well, even if not in a great shape. Re-Enchantment did splendidly though, thanks mostly to Ola’s efforts, as I’ve been an infrequent contributor, certainly in the second half. And yet 2020 was quite good for me as far as reading goes, and not for the same reasons many people read more. Quite a bit of my reading used to be done in during commute, so working from home I had to change my habits just to keep up. And keep up I did, with a 102 GoodReads titles, as of December 14, and 32,281 pages – versus 81 titles and 30,233 in 2019. Piotrek: How will we do in 2021? I’m not into divination, but I plan get better in time-management and create more posts. Still not as many as Ola, probably 😉 Apart from that, I’m not even making too many plans about my reading next year, we’ll see how it goes. One thing that seems probable – I might finally get a Kindle, and admit I cannot have all the books on my shelves. Ola: I’ve absolutely no idea what 2021 will bring – but, as humans tend to (and that’s the main reason they largely cling to life as a species) I hope it will be better than 2020. What a year that was! A Chinese proverb – or rather a curse – come to life, and survived. So many aspects of our lives changed (hopefully temporarily) for worse, but we know all about them and there’s no need to bring these up again. I’d prefer to focus on positives instead :). 2020 was a great reading and blogging year for us here at Re-Enchantment, with many records broken and equally many firsts achieved. I signed up for NetGalley (and while this was a rather mixed bag for me reading-wise, as my reviews can attest) it was at the same time a very interesting learning experience and one I’ll be happy to continue. I also signed up for Goodreads, and I’m glad to say it’s going pretty well. Maintaining old bookishfriendships and making new acquaintances is always a big positive for me, so in that respect GR serves as a valuable extension of our blog. And while I kept my stats anyway, in a customised Excel spreadsheet, it is indeed nice to have all the books read in a year presented in a pleasing infographic ;). I got over 120 titles under my belt this year, mixing up a healthy amount of non-fiction (10%) and fiction (11%) into my usual genre and comic book reading. And I’m hoping to add a book or two to the list on my upcoming vacation :). As we did last year, this year we’ll have a separate post covering our best and worst reads of the year (and maybe some TV series too, though sadly not many movies ;)) too. In this one, we’ll focus a bit more on our blog stats. In 2020, Re-Enchanted nearly doubled the last year’s stats when it comes to the number of visits (a whooping 15k), the number of comments (over 2.5k) and the number of likes (over 2.3k). We also had 10 more posts, 57 to date, than last year. As we drifted slowly toward longer posts, mainly reviews and a few fun tags, judging by the number of comments we seem to have found our sweet spot. The blogging friendships we made all over the world continue, and this year we cherish even more of them with new bloggers finding our blog and us finding theirs. Our number of followers almost doubled – thanks everyone! 🙂 But the 2020 wouldn’t be itself if it weren’t turbulent in every aspect of life, and so even our exceedingly bookish blog couldn’t stay apolitical as Polish politics barged uninvited into our lives. Our most popular post in terms of views was Ola’s glowing review of Neal Asher’s The Line of Polity, garnering well above 300 views. It’s this year’s post, which is worth noting as the next two are comparative oldies: Ola’s scathing review of Ernest Cline’s Armada and the last year’s Re-E blockbuster, Roger Zelazny’s The Dream Master, which were both written back in 2016. The most popular posts are garnering more and more views through search engines, which is very encouraging as we keep building our repository of quirky, detailed, lengthy reviews ;). We’ve also beat the 50 likes boundary this year. Our most popular posts in terms of likes were Piotrek’s Vacation Post, closely followed by Neal Stephenson’s Anathem, Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s Mexican Gothic, Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas, Marie Brennan’s Driftwood, our lonely tag in this review-dominated field, Favorite books in five words, and Daniel Polansky’s The Seventh Perfection. As for the comments section, our most commented post was the review of Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s Mexican Gothic (again), a highly enjoyable tribute to the Gothick tradition with a delightful fungal twist ;). With 76 comments it maintained its one-digit lead over Madeline Miller’s Circe and Brian McClellan’s Blood of Empire. We have taken part in one concerted bookish effort this year, Wyrd and Wonder. It was a great adventure, and an unparalleled output for us with 7 posts in a month, but with so many things going on around us we weren’t able to celebrate any more similar events. Maybe next year 😉 Piotrek: I quess it was a year when people would get excited by even a mention of vacations 😉 I’m so happy I managed to squeeze that in between all the lockdowns… I have to admit I did not suffer too much in this troubled year. It’s been a very good year for the blog, no doubt. Apart from the editor monstrosity WordPress forced on its users – we all still hate that with a passion, it goes without saying. But here we’re allowing ourselves a well-deserved celebration, so we’re not going to spoil the mood :). And next week we intend to go deeper into our best of/worst of lists for 2020 🙂 Ola: As much as we’d love to keep to the books and movies, the Polish ugly reality won’t allow us this luxury. After the brazen dismantling and subjugation of the judicial system, effective reintroduction of censorship in media, transforming the Roman Catholic Church into a political force, and crawling incapacitation of the military and foreign policy, the ruling authoritarian party ironically called Law and Justice decided to take posession of the citizens’ hearts and minds – by force. Starting with the persecution of the minorities: from LGBTQ to foreigners, Polish government has ended on a very Atwoodian note – by overturning (arguably illegally) the already very restrictive abortion laws, in effect banning nearly all forms of abortion, even in cases of severe foetal damage or abnormality, which often results in the death of the embryo. Let’s put this in context: 98% of the 1,100 terminations permitted last year in Poland (a country with a population of nearly 38 million) were in the category of severe fetal abnormality. The current government had sought to overturn this law before, and not because of some high abstract values but mostly for a very concrete political gain – the removal of women’s rights comes as a gift from the Law and Justice politicians for the ultra-conservative Polish Catholic Church; it serves a very significant symbol of goodwill and a tangible guarantee of continuing support of the dominant religious institutions for the authoritarian regime. Let’s be clear here: while the abortion theme might be the most apparent, controversial, and commanding attention, it is not the main issue here. The crux of the problem is that an increasingly authoritarian ruling party decided to overturn a long-standing and widely accepted axio-normative compromise rooted in law in the middle of a growing deadly pandemic, hoping that the battered an divided Polish society won’t notice this (yet another in a long line of progressively punitive) encroachment on civil freedoms. And now, when Poles are protesting on the streets, the leader of the Law and Justice party officially calls for the extreme right-wing organizations to defend traditional values “at all cost,” exhorting them to “win this war” – basically, and in not so many words, inciting social unrest and violence. The Guardian called it simply a betrayal of democracy, and is right. Piotrek: It’s increasingly controversial to call what we had a compromise. If it ever was one, it was between conservative politicians and the Church, and resulted in some of the harshest abortion laws in Europe. The Church seemed to be doing well despite a growing wave of scandals, but this time they might have gone too far and the bishops are seen as just as valid a target of public anger as politicians. There is something going on in Poland. And we’re not talking about the recent rise in COVID-19 cases – although this is very worrying, as we had twice as much cases in October than during the entire pandemic before the current month. There is also a rise in people marching against the regime. They march, they drive very slowly on busy streets, they sit and block crucial crossroads in city centres. The rural areas I blasted in our previous political post are on the move as well, bless them. What has changed? It’s too early for a final verdict, but one thing is clearly visible – young people are mobilized like never before. It’s probably the biggest political mobilization of Polish teenagers ever. I was among the oldest on the first demonstration last week. Veterans of the resistance are a bit bitter, perhaps if we had more support five years ago we could prevent a lot of evil – but that doesn’t matter now, and clearly people younger than me needed to find their very own reasons to join the good fight. Now they see they have a very personal stake in how the society is organized and they are doing something about it. I salute them! I’ve never seen so much energy, joy, optimism. It’s a street revolution, it’s a meme war, there’s music. Politically we might achieve nothing, again – although I might be surprised again. But this week revealed a huge social change that never before translated into the world of politics – the catho-nationalistic ideology the regime tried to feed to the young generation didn’t take. There is hope; please, even now, when the most important thing going is is undoubtedly happening in America, pay some attention to our sad little country. I was going to say I’m not going to complain my vacation is coming to an end, but I just did 😉 A bit over two weeks away from work, most of it spent on our Sicilian escapade, a small miracle in the Covid-infected world, and maybe an act of selfishness, but we really needed a break, and obviously we obeyed all the special rules. Eastern Sicily – as we only had time to see this part of the island – is beautiful, and full of history. Beauty and power of nature was represented by Etna, an active volcano that overshadows entire neighbouring area, and occasionally threatens its inhabitants. We were not in danger, but still impressed by the roaring sounds and the puffs of steam.

A sense of total peace washes over you. It’s similar to nostalgia, and yet it’s a moment that’s completely present. A warm, beautiful feeling that makes you glad to be alive. Is there a name or reason for these mysterious spells of complete contentment? Luckily, Mr. Google can be depended on for answers. I type — “what is this feeling that strikes and everything seems right and perfect for a moment?” — into my search engine and hit enter. The question brings up more than 4.8 million results. The first is entitled, “What does depression feel like? Wing of madness.” The second result is headlined “Marijuana induced hell.” What the … ? My question is, why am I so dang happy? And the answer is, because I’m depressed, mad, drug addled, and in hell? Is it just me or is Mr. Google going darker these days? Being hassled with everyone’s problems can make a skeptic of anyone, I suppose. Anyway, if you know that feeling I’m talking about, drop a line in the comments section below. It probably has something to do with reincarnation or indigestion, but I don’t have time to figure it out because the Dallas Cowboys are about to play the Seattle Seahawks, and the season is in the balance. Lose this game, drop to 2-5. Overcoming that kind of deficit would be like climbing Mt. Everest in roller skates. My stomach is knotted with nerves, but Hazel the research assistant and I still manage to wolf down half a dozen tamales. After a long summer break, Amy at Amy’s Restaurant is making her seasonal tamales again. Hazel swears by them (when she’s not licking her own butt). I’ve been gorging on Amy’s tamales almost exclusively for three days now. They say you are what you eat, which makes me equal parts cornmeal, pork, and lard. I better update my eHarmony profile. I turn on the TV to watch the Cowboys and catch the tail end of the Pittsburgh Steelers game. They’re wearing throwback jerseys. Back in the NFL’s early years, Dolly Parton’s mother made all the league’s team jerseys using scraps of material, like she did with Dolly’s coat of many colors. In 1934, Mrs. Parton outfitted the Steelers using nothing but old prison uniforms from the Bumblebee Correctional Center. The Cowboys kick off to start the game. In honor of Halloween, the entire Cowboys defense arrives as ghosts. They’re invisible as the Seahawks march down the field. But the drive stalls in the red zone and the Seahags settle for a field goal. Now we get to see the Second Coming of Matt Cassel at quarterback. Last week’s First Coming ended the same way as its Biblical analogy — lots of blood and suffering. At first I thought Cassel was pronounced Ca- Sell, like gazelle. But it’s pronounced Cass-ul, like castle. Based on Cassel’s mobility in the pocket, he’s more castle than gazelle. But as long as new starting running back Darren McFadden keeps channeling Emmett Smith, Cassel could be a quadriplegic and we’d still rack up yardage. Speaking of Halloween, the Bumblebee Prison Post-Dispatch reports that O.J. Simpson dressed as Sherlock Holmes for the inmates’ annual trick or treat celebration. “I’m still searching for my wife’s killer,” he told the warden. But instead of carrying a big magnifying glass, Simpson carried a hand mirror. The guys in Cell Block D got a big kick out of that. [Editor’s Note: An O.J. Simpson joke in 2015? That’s as fresh as your reference to a Dolly Parton song circa 1970. You do know the 19-to-39 age group drives online traffic, don’t you? Hits equal ad revenue. Please keep modern audiences in mind.] McFadden moves with the speed of Ariana Grande’s tongue at a donut factory? [Editor’s Note: I said ages 19-39, not 11 to 14.] If watching Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, and old Lost episodes is what it takes to bring you the most insightful and comprehensive Cowboys column this side of Sulphur Springs, then, by golly, that’s what I’ll do. Prepare for more hip and current random thoughts. More Frank Underwood, less Frank Sutton (top photo). More Aziz Ansari, less Ansel Adams. More Sam Smith, less Sam Drucker. Or does it even matter? The Cowboys offense looks like the walking dead. You know that look that actress Kristen Stewart keeps on her face in every scene – mouth slightly agape, blank stare, stupefied? That’s the face of Cowboys fans everywhere. Only a field goal kicker’s mother could love this game. Russel Wilson’s love life is more exciting. I’ve seen more reckless violence at Gwyneth Patrow’s Goop-sponsored spring soirees. In the past few years, a Cowboys game guaranteed a three-hour thrill ride. Those 8-8 seasons featured some of the most exciting games since Katniss Everdeen killed all those hungry teenage vampires. I never faulted the Cowboys, win or lose, because they were just so entertaining to watch. Now we have a quarterback who can’t throw, run, or even pronounce his own last name with certainty. We have games like this snoozer — four field goals, no touchdowns, and no inspiration for hacks pretending to be sports bloggers. It makes me want to create a snarky meme. Something like, America’s Team: The Bad News Bears’ bitches! But I wouldn’t do that because I love the Cowboys. If they can beat the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday, they remain in the race. The NFC East is the worst in the NFL, leaving room for a turnaround once Romo heals up. And this game hasn’t been all bad. It was nice seeing Darren Woodson enshrined in the ring of honor. I loved the former safety’s grind. Woodson worked harder than Miley Cyrus’s tongue at a Nylon selfie shoot. Woodson owns the team’s all-time tackling record #hello3superbowls. He’s jiggy, wiggy, diggy, and ziggy wid it, and way phat as well, fo shizzel. Lol and omg. [Editor’s Note: Alright, alright. Forget I said anything.] Dolly signed my hand when I was 12 years old outside of Arlington Stadium. She was drop-dead gorgeous even though she’d just climbed off her tour bus, wasn’t wearing makeup, and wore a scarf on her head. She looked like she did on the album cover to the left. If there’s no room for her in a Cowboys column, then what the hell has happened to the NFL?

Brands are flocking to Pinterest to promote their product. We would know. We are one of them. But anybody can sign up for an account, put their brand name on it, post some pretty pictures and call it a day. So, what separates the great from the good? With this blog post we want to put the spotlight on Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands on Pinterest. Why? Because unlike other businesses, CPG brands have the added task of ensuring their consumers see them as more than their average daily household item. According to ChiefMarketer.com, CPG brands on Pinterest “need to get creative if they want to play in this space. They need to: - Showcase interesting ways to use the product - Leverage coupons - Create recipes - Connect with influencers - Use it as your website” And we couldn’t agree more. So in that spirit, here are our five picks of CPG brands on Pinterest who are killin’ it with their account: The fabric softener brand hits the nail on the head by using contests and sweepstakes to connect with their influencers. You would think that being a fabric softener brand would have limit their ability to talk about anything more than laundry but they used their boards to strategically cultivate a feeling they want their consumers to feel when thinking of their brand and they successfully do it with their Pinterest account. Boards we love: Their “#ClosetLoveAffair” board perfectly combined consumer participation by coaxing them to enter their sweepstakes as well as inspiring them with outfit ideas. Genius. Much like Downy, Dove’s Pinterest account evokes a feeling. The personal care product giant has a Pinterest account with boards that are littered with pins about leading a balanced life as well as inspirational words and quotes, stamping their beliefs on what beauty is. Boards we love: We can’t get enough of their “Beautiful Balance” board that highlights beauty tips, life lessons, thoughtful advice and caring inspiration promoting a balanced lifestyle. There’s also a “Treat Yourself” board with posts from their domain which illustrates ChiefMarketer.com‘s point of using their Pinterest account like their own website. Ziploc’s Pinterest account is an avid pinner’s dream. Full of crafty, DIY ideas they very tactfully integrate their product into their pins, with plenty of food recipes and other fun, family-friendly activities. Boards we love: We are all about life hacks, and their “Life Made Easy” board has plenty of interesting, cool ideas to help us “MacGyver” our way through a sticky situation. As you can imagine, the chocolate giant’s Pinterest account is filled with chocolate. Recipes with chocolate in all forms; cooked, baked, stuffed, rolled, dipped. It’s basically the mecca of chocolate. The amazing thing about their account is that they are not making any qualms about having their Pinterest the go-to account for all things chocolate, cementing their brand status as chocolate connoisseurs. Boards we love: There’s so many to choose from but if you are looking for chocolate recipes, the board to check out is the “HERSHEY’s Baking Library.” With YouTube’s video integration, you can now check out recipe videos from their official YouTube account on Pinterest. The original dijon mustard, Grey Poupon’s Pinterest account perfectly integrates almost all the points raised by ChiefMarketer.com, by curating content from the history of their brand to highlighting the different flavors. Boards we love: There’s so many creative boards to choose from: “The Art of Sandwich” if you need recipe ideas on how to spread your Grey Poupon; “Prized Pets” because everyone loves animals on Pinterest; “Pardon Meme” a hilarious board of pins consisting of Poupon memes that will make the child in you laugh with glee. Also, in case you haven’t seen this, check out their NSFTV commercial. Don’t watch it at work – you won’t be able to stop yourself from LOL-ing. Know of any other CPG brands with awesome Pinterest accounts that we missed? Drop a link on our comment box and share them with us!

[Description: This is a Grumpy Cat meme. Grumpy Cat is a cat who looks grumpy due to their lips. The text over the picture of Grumpy Cat say, “Happy birthday – now you’re one year closer to dying”. Retrieved from: https://www.pinterest.com/joydawo/grumpy-catxd/ ] It’s my birthday and I’m feeling a year older and it’s bittersweet. On one hand, I’ve survived another year of life and it marks the fourth year I’ve been on hormones. It’s also one more year where my body is crying that its needs aren’t being met. And the older I get, the stronger the crying gets. I just want to do the relationship thing. I want to be soppy and disgusting in public. I want to take up space and annoy cishets with public displays of affection. I want to do domestic shit like shopping or laundry as a couple/polycule. I want the physical and emotional intimacy. I want someone that I can depend on. I want someone who can mesh into my household and make it feel even more like the patchwork family we are. I want all the things that I read about in fan fiction and live vicariously through. Is that too much to ask for? I’ve been single for over a decade without much dating experience. I see cishets married and procreating at my age. This makes me feel ancient and like I’m running out of time.

Today we are uncapping a bottle of the new to the market THC infused beverages. On tap tonight is the Houndstooth & Soda. Yes, you will be sober… I mean technically, it’s not alcohol. Here is a description from their website and here is a description form Cannabis NB – Smell: Didn’t notice too much of a smell tbh. Pretty much as you would expect with sparkling water. There was no detectible weed smell at all. – Taste: Tastes like a typical S.pellegrino carbonated water drink is ask me. It has a slight aftertaste to it, but then again a lot of these non-sugary versions of carbonated water do… so nothing too off there. The taste I suppose you could say is a titch fruity. – Packaging: Aside from the weird top plastic piece it is just a recyclable can. Pretty simple and not excessive at all. – Calories: perfect for all you fat fuqs and people that want to limit their intake weighing in at a whopping whole 3 calories. – Ingredients: A bunch of stuff written on the can…read it if you care. FYI: If you were looking for something a bit sweeter and less boring on the taste buds then check out this CBD drink offering I recently reviewed here: The Effects can best be described by this meme: To be fair, this as I expected though as it is only 2mg. That’s 1/5th the maximum allowable amount, so someone like me is not their targeted audience. I’ll await more potent drink form them to give the effects a fair trial, as this one was a nothing-burger. Tweed is $WEED.to or $CGC down under… Here is your no-frills chart done about as exciting as the high from this drink offered 🤪 Disclaimer: I am not a certified comedian – please consult a comedian before having a laugh – same applies to any financial advice you might take away from my posts. If you can donate that would mean a lot to me and help to fuel me to keep going. Also, feel free to give me any feedback. Good, bad, or ugly. Thanks.

With half a billion people using Instagram Stories every single day, the stat shows that Stories are an important feature for brands. Luckily, Instagram opens story ads for all business accounts. That’s mean your brand’s stories have a better chance to appear among organic stories posted by Instagram users even if they don’t follow you. Are you wondering how a successful Instagram Story Ads looks? Are you finding some inspiration for your Instagram Story ads? We have worked incredibly hard to gather some examples. Let’s get started with 5 successful Instagram Story Ads Examples right here! 1. Waterdrop: A campaign that generated a 24% increase in sales Waterdrop is a brand that uses fruit and plant extracts to enriches water that can assist you to drink more, used Instagram Stories ads to generate a 24% increase in sales (compared to the previous month). The brand designed creatively the ads with 16:9 size for this campaign that completely fits Instagram Stories. With a short video ad from the star’s perspective as she held a Waterdrop bottle of water and walked through a city. That’s exactly what a user would expect from Stories. Especially, the video gave us a feeling that it just a post from our friend. It didn’t instantly look like an ad. Not many brands can do this honestly. The campaign brought Waterdrop 1.8 million people within 10 days and helped Waterdrop to increase its web traffic by 8.4x. 2. Morhipo: 45% lower cost per customer with Stories ads Morhipo is a fashion brand. Before they determined to try Story Ads, they archived success in both Facebook and Instagram ads. Let’s see whether the new campaign could increase sales. Morhipo uses an image to test out Stories ads. They created full-screen content particularly for Stories (16:9) and then ran these ads against ads in the Instagram feed. From this test, the brand saw a big dip (45%) in cost per acquisition with Stories when compared to the cost per acquisition from the Instagram feed. Hence, you clearly should always be looking to test and plan with new creative and placements for your campaigns on Instagram. 3. paysafecard: Boosting brand searches using Stories Ads If you’re not a clothing or domestic brand, it doesn’t matter. Story Ads are still helpful for you. See what Paysafecard – a pre-payment card business – got when they ran this kind of campaign. Paysafecard wanted to target gamer audiences to build awareness. To grab their attention, the campaign needed to be relatable and creative. Here’s how the brand achieved those targets: - Creative: A meme format was made for this story ad with an animation of a Paysafecard inside an emergency box with the content “In case of Steam Sale Break Glass.” - Relatable: Steam is a famous brand amongst Paysafecard’s gamer audiences. Understanding that lots of its audience likely use Steam to play games, the inclusion of the Steam name and logo made the ads feel instantly relatable. The campaign led to 6,000 internet searches for a sales outlet Paysafecard and it saw a 76% lower cost per conversion with ads in Instagram Stories vs other ad formats. 4. Freshly Cosmetics: Increasing web traffic by 12x This campaign from Freshly Cosmetics aimed to drive more traffic for its website then convert visitors to leads. The campaign used native Instagram text features to clarify how the products work, and by using these features, the text felt familiar to many Instagram Stories users. Different from others, the advert wisely opened up with a question asking viewers to share their thoughts and experiences with Freshly Cosmetics. This help Freshly Comestics could also increase engagement. Targeting people in Spain, the campaign was extremely successful for the brand as it boosted website traffic by 12x, leading to a 9x sales increase. 5. Mainline Menswear: Reaching 1.3 million people When Mainline Menswear wanted to get its brand famous, it determined to use an Instagram Stories ad campaign that led to a 21-point increase of unaided brand awareness (the percentage of respondents aware of your brand, product, or advertising when surveyed). This new decision gave Mainline Menswear the chance to showcase its various products with its branding also featured heavily throughout the videos. Each ad also included a link where viewers could find more about the brand from its website. Thanks to this campaign, Mainline Menswear reach more than 1.3 million people as well as boosting brand recognition and recall. Above, we listed some legendary Instagram Story Ads Examples that will inspire your future campaigns. Remember to add Instagram Story Ads to your plan!

Cryptocurrencies are one of the trending topics around the world nowadays. Since the bitcoin started to capture the market attention many people are going behind it every day. So what are they exactly? In simple terms, it is just another medium of exchange like many other currencies around the world. But the major difference is that it exists in digital form i.e there is no tangible money, only some program snippets. More importantly, the currency is self-controlled and there, is no middlemen like central banks or governments to control the currency. Its security is warranted by sophisticated cryptographic algorithms. If there is no one to issue and control the currency then how new currency does is created? New units of cryptocurrencies are created through a process called mining. The first know cryptocurrency was bitcoin, invented in 2009 by a mysterious person ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’. In April 2011 another currency known as ‘Namecoin’ was created. Then onwards many other cryptocurrencies have emerged and many of them became popular. In this blog, I will be explaining about top ten cryptocurrencies circulating around the web. Before that it would be worth examining the benefits of cryptocurrencies in a broader context. BENEFITS OF CRYPTOCURRENCY: - Cryptocurrencies are global currencies i.e.no single country controls it. They are accessible to everyone and can be transferred to anyone around the world. - Cryptocurrencies are devoid of a middleman like banks. So there is no middlemen fee for transactions and transactions are usually done faster. - It is a more secure asset than traditional currencies. The sophisticated cryptography guarantee that only the sender and receiver can access the data. - It is a more transparent monetary system that any existing. The transaction history and data are stored in public ledger and is viewable to all stakeholders. LIST OF CRYPTOCURRENCIES: There are about 1000+ cryptocurrencies available now. A new cryptocurrency can be invented at any time. Like any other assets, the value of cryptocurrency can also raise and fall quickly. The most popular cryptocurrencies are: 1. Bitcoin 6. Swiftcoin 2. Ether 7. Monero 3. Litecoin 8. Dogecoin 4. Ripple 9. Dash 5. Namecoin 10. Lisk The Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most famous cryptocurrency. It is invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. The details of the founder is still a mystery and nobody is sure about his existence. Bitcoin uses peer to peer network for its existence and the transaction conducted are verified by miners. Mining means solving a complex mathematical problem to verify a transaction and it needs a high amount of computing power. By verifying a transaction, miners get a fixed amount of bitcoin as a reward and the newly created coin also become the part of the network. However, there are a finite number of bitcoins say 21 million. And according to miners the rest of the coins will be added to the network by 2024. The hashing algorithm(hashing technology) used in bitcoin is SHA-256 (Secured Hashing Algorithm-256). And POW algorithm is used by the network to decide the next block to be added to the Blockchain. Mining in Bitcoin Basically, mining means searching for a new block to add in the Blockchain. When a new block arrives, all the contents of the block is hashed first. Then this hashed output is concatenated with the nonce and is hashed again. The resulting hash is compared with the difficulty target. If it is less than difficulty level the block is added, else the nonce changed and the process is repeated till it meets the requirement. Whenever a transaction happens in a bitcoin network, the user pushes it to the network. The transaction is hence verified by some participants in the network called miners. The process is as follows. When a new block arrives, all the contents of the block is hashed first. Then this hashed output is concatenated with a random string called ‘nonce’ and is hashed again. The resulting hash is compared with the difficulty target. If it is less than difficulty level then block is added, else the nonce is changed and the process is repeated till it meets the requirement. This process of verifying the transaction is known as mining. Ether is another type cryptocurrency which is used in the distributed application platform Ethereum. Ethereum is another type of decentralized blockchain network which is specifically designed to develop and run smart contracts and decentralized apps. Ether is the fuel of Ethereum and it was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin. The total supply of Ethereum is estimated to 60 million. Like in bitcoin Ether mining also indicate the verification of a transaction conducted in Ethereum network. In Ethereum network a new block is added in every 15 seconds and presently the reward for adding a new block is 3 Ether coins. Litecoin was launched in October 2011 by Charles Lee. It is an open-source peer-to-peer network that is fully decentralized without any centralized authority. It has a market cap of around $180 million. LiteCoin little bit complex than previous two. Though the working principles are similar. There are some differences too. Open source Cryptographic protocol is the base of LiteCoin. A new block is processed in every 2.5 minutes and it uses ‘Scrypt’ for mining process. Since the mining is a little bit harder in LiteCoin the miner gets 25 LiteCoins for every new block. Ripple is used as both cryptocurrency and open payment network where the currency is transferred. It was released in 2012 and was invented by Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb. Ripple coin is labeled as ‘XRP’. The current market of Ripple coin is $243 million. The ripple coin is mainly known for its strong focus on the banking market and real-time settlement. Ripple uses a medium known as Gateway that enables any person or organization to put into or take money out of the Ripple pool. Maybe the gateway mechanism is similar to the present banking system but the shared open ledger makes the difference. Ripple is slowly becoming popular. Companies like Santander, UniCredit, UBS have already adopted it and Payment networks and Banks are increasingly attracted towards it. Name Coin is another cryptocurrency which has many similarities with Bitcoin. In fact, it uses the same code of Bitcoin. And just like Bitcoin it also uses the Proof-of-work algorithm and SHA-256 Hash algorithm. The total supply of the Namecoin is limited to 21 million. Namecoin technology solves the problem of Zooko’s triangle, where anyone can register arbitrary human-readable names in a decentralized and secure way. These names can be used to create online identities. Namecoin was invented in April 2011 by Vinced. NameID was launched in June 2013. Swiftcoin is also another type of cryptocurrency. Like other cryptocurrencies transaction made in Swiftcoins are encrypted and anonymous. And of course, there is no central authority to control the transactions or users. Swiftcoin is the first digital currency in Cuba created by Team Daniel Bruno. Monero is a cryptocurrency that mainly focuses on privacy using signature technology. It is estimated that Monero has a market cap of about $138 million. The privacy of Monero transactions is strengthened using ‘Confidential Transaction’ algorithm which hides the amounts being transacted. Dogecoins are released in December 2013 by Billy Markus as a funny meme on the internet. By the mid of 2015, there were 100 billion Dogecoins has been mined also 5.256 billion coins are mined every year thereafter. Dash is open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency which strongly focuses on speed of transaction and security. Dash uses anonymization technology for improving security. The estimated market cap of Dash is $77 million. In January 2014 Dash coin was released in the name of ‘Xcoin’. Later in February, the name was changed into ‘Darkcoin’ and on March it was rebranded as Dash. The founder of Dash was Evan Duffield and Kyle Hagan. Lisk is a modular cryptocurrency which utilizes Sidechains. ‘Slidechain’ are some additional chains attached to the main blockchain in order to avoid bloated network. When there are many bad transactions the blocks are created faster and it slows down the network. This is called a bloated network. Sidechains can be attached to the main blockchain and can serve as a place to pull high volume transaction without interfering with the main blockchain. As a result, it will ensure a fast network all day. Lisk has a market cap of $45 million.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch has urged the parents of Muslim parents to contact the Justice Department and the Department of Education if their children are bullied at school. She did so in a speech before a Muslim advocacy group. In the same appearance, Lynch threatened to crack down on “anti-Muslim rhetoric.” To be more precise, she threatened to broaden an existing crackdown. Where we do see anti-Muslim rhetoric and actions turn into violence, we do take action. As we talk about the importance of free speech we [must] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not America. They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted. As to bullying, three questions arise. First, what is the evidence that bullying of Muslim school children is occurring to any appreciable degree? Lynch cited Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old boy who brought a disassembled clock that looked like an explosive device to his high school. But Mohamed wasn’t bullied; he was aggressively questioned based on reasonable (though incorrect) suspicions of dangerous conduct. Even if one thinks the authorities were too aggressive, this case has nothing to do with bullying as the concept is commonly understood. Second, what is the evidence that Muslims need to be encouraged to complain about “bullying”? Mohamed’s family certainly wasn’t bashful about playing the “clock” incident for all it was worth. Indeed, the suspicion lingers that the boy, at the prompting of his father, brought the suspicious-looking, fake-invention clock to school for the purpose of drumming up a grievance and perhaps a multimillion dollar lawsuit. Lynch’s words will likely drum up grievances, many of them inconsequential or imagined. The result will be a waste of resources that could be used to address serious problems like, I dunno, maybe actual crime. This leads the third question: Why should the United States Justice Department become involved in policing school “bullying”? Doing so represents federal intrusion into the give-and-take of daily life. It’s the nanny state veering in the direction of a police state. Lynch’s threats to prosecute speech suggest that she is already in police state territory. She did not limit her threat to speech advocating violence, which would have been easy enough to do. Instead, citing “an incredibly disturbing rise in anti-Muslim rhetoric,” Lynch said that where anti-Muslim rhetoric turns into violence, the federal government will prosecute. Perhaps Lynch was just being sloppy, but her words suggest that if someone speaks out forcefully against Islam or Muslims and violence follows, the speaker may be prosecuted even if he didn’t advocate violence. As we know from the recent attack on the Colorado Planned Parenthood facility, it has become common for leftists to blame violence against certain targets on forceful issue advocacy standing alone. Lynch’s remarks raise the specter of this meme becoming the basis for federal prosecutions. The Obama-Lynch Justice Department should be focusing on how to do a better job of identifying and thwarting threats of Islamist domestic terrorism, rather than on preventing school “bullying” and curbing political speech.

DatChat is offering an innovative personal privacy social network platform powered by blockchain technology. CEO and co-founder Darin Myman shares more details with us in an exclusive interview with TechBullion. Please tell us a little more about yourself? Darin Myman, CEO & Founder of DatChat, Inc. As a successful entrepreneur, Darin Myman has focused on developing and patenting privacy and cyber-security technology for the last fifteen years that is uniquely focused on protecting our privacy information after it is already been shared. Additionally, Mr. Myman developed LiveBroker and LiveInsurance, fintech messaging platforms that connect clients with companies in a secure and private environment. What is DatChat? More than ever before, the need for DatChat is becoming critical to our right to privacy as social media censorship is rapidly spreading. We have a right to privacy, both in real life and on social media. DatChat is a fully encrypted and private social network and messaging platform that allows users to change how long posts and messages can be viewed before or after they are shared prevents screenshots and allows users to “nuke” entire conversations that disappear from the parties’ devices. The DatChat private social network creates a secure and completely private space to post, share, and comment with your friends and associates. Only those you allow will be able to see your posts and comments. Additionally, messages cannot be screenshotted, forwarded, or shared. All posts are encrypted and can be permanently deleted—without a trace at any time or set to self-destruct at a specific time. Based on patented technology, the DatChat social privacy platform creates a unique social network to safely share and talk with your friends without the worry of censorship, getting canceled, or the prying eyes of Big Data. What major features and unique services do you provide at DatChat? Create Multiple Secure, Private & Encrypted Social Networks: Keep your friends, family and work associates all separate. Create networks that require an invite to join or public groups that are searchable. Our easy to use social network management makes it simple to create the type of social network you want, and it will always be private and secure. Nuke & Self-Destructing Social Posts and Messages: The sender decides how many times pictures, posts or messages can be viewed before they self-destruct. The sender can also dictate how many views are left or erase the content at any time. Users can even opt to Nuke messages, which erase both sides of the conversation on both the sender and recipient’s devices. At any time, a member or the creator of a social network can “Nuke” all of their comments and posts from that group so that they instantly self-destruct without a trace. Screenshot Prevention & Notification: Now you can prevent screenshots with our unique anti-screenshot technology that allows you to view an entire message or picture while protecting it from screenshots. If someone tries to screenshot, you will be notified immediately, and the post will automatically self-destruct for that user. Encryption: All DatChat messages and posts are encrypted to ensure your posts and messages are only seen by you and your recipients. In addition, all DatChat messages are sent through HTTPS connections, the protocol over which data is sent between the DatChat app and the DatChat Message Security: Only you and your recipients can view your messages and posts, which cannot be forwarded or shared with anyone else. While on the DatChat servers, messages CANNOT be viewed by anyone because only you have the key. At NO time does DatChat ever have your key and no one at the company has the ability to ever read your messages. What is the technology behind DatChat, could you give us a walkthrough of the DatChat ecosystem? Our technology is based on our proprietary and patented Digital Rights Management (“DRM”) technology that allows users to maintain control of their information and messages both before and after it has been shared with others. The DatChat Platform architecture is based on the DRM built into the DatChat mobile application and servers to provide: Messaging Rights Management: Patented technology allows a sender to set a message to last forever, or automatically self-destruct after a certain number of views. At any time a sender can wipe texts off a recipient’s phone or give them more time to view the message. “Nuke” a Conversation: Users can even opt to Nuke messages, which erases both sides of the conversation on both the sender and recipient’s devices. Encryption: All DatChat messages are encrypted with AES256 for the message, and RSA for the key to ensuring your messages are only seen by you and your intended recipients. Each message is individually encrypted for the recipient and cannot be forwarded or saved. Additionally, all messages are sent and received via an SSL connection and can never be viewed by DatChat under any circumstance. Screenshot Protection: DatChat’s Patented protection mode makes it nearly impossible to screenshot a secret picture or message. Also, the sender receives notifications when someone attempts to screenshot protected or regular self-destructing messages. Additionally, we are developing an innovative privacy platform that will be powered by a decentralized global messaging & digital rights management blockchain. Email and messaging are two of the most widely used and oldest internet applications, and they are both in desperate need of a complete overhaul. Lacking any real privacy or control, email and messaging are potentially the greatest application of blockchain. One of the Biggest Threats to our Privacy comes from relying on others to protect our information. While most cyber-security companies are focused on keeping intruders out, DatChat is uniquely focused on providing cyber-security both before and after we hit Send or Submit. What are the market size and level of demand for digital privacy and messaging platforms like DatChat? The Cyber-Security industry is growing exponentially, and it is expected to reach $170 Billion in just a few years. While most of the focus seems to be on protecting our information where it is stored, DatChat is focused on Protecting Our Privacy after we have already shared our personal and financial information and our right to free speech. One of the biggest threats to our privacy comes from what happens after we have Hit Send, Submit or even Delete. DatChat’s unique technology is focused on always providing privacy, control, and security when you really need it the most. DatChat is addressing and the demands of consumers and businesses to protect their privacy and free speech. How is the current remote working lifestyle affecting digital privacy and messaging platforms and what challenges are companies facing? DatChat has adapted well to the new remote working lifestyle by utilizing video and conference calls, document sharing, and the DatChat Messenger to keep our development, sales, and support teams connected during these trying times. The biggest challenge seems to be faced by our staff with young children. Creating a quiet work environment from home can sometimes be a little more difficult than you think it should be, but we have been getting the job done ahead of schedule. What are the biggest digital privacy and censorship threats we are dealing with today and how will DatChat solve these problems? It is a strange development, but for the first time in history, we can potentially lose our job not just for what we say or post on social media, but what a spouse, family member or friend might posts. Like the wrong meme, and you can lose your livelihood. DatChat strongly believes that we all are entitled to some privacy and freedom of speech online that we have talking to our friends in our own living rooms. DatChat will never censor what you are sharing or commenting on. Our DatChat Private Social Network and Messenger ensures our right to reasonable free speech and privacy. Essentially, our technology ensures that we do not have access to your messages and can never read them, so we have no idea what you are talking about.

Rocky: As you may know, yesterday morning, the headlines here in Terre Haute read: Yes, I called an urgent summit with presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton here in Artsy Catsy's hometown to discuss the fact that only one candidate is ready from day one to run this country and bring about true cheynge ... and that candidate is Cheysuli! Clinton agreed to meet with me at the Saratoga Restaurant, just down the street from Artsy Catsy's headquarters. Unfortunately, someone leaked the news to the media, and the masses started descending upon the Saratoga at 2:30 a.m. I arrived at 5:45 a.m. to help the Secret Service keep the area secure ... During the long wait for Clinton's arrival at 10:45 a.m., I opened Cheysuli's local campaign headquarters next door to the Saratoga ...With the premises secure, I allowed no more than 100 people inside the restaurant at 9 a.m. While the Secret Service strip-searched each one of them, my human artists Sharolyn and Suzanne and I discussed my strategy over coffee ...When Senator Clinton arrived, she ignored the crowd and came directly to me so we could get down to business ... To her credit, she was most gracious, even gave me a few gratuitous chin scritches ... obviously a political ploy to soften my firm determination that Cheysuli must be our next President ...However, Suzanne and I pointed out to Senator Clinton that I was unwavering in my support for Chey. I cited a plethora of crises in this country that Clinton has ignored: Universal cat care; No Cat Left Behind; the financial crises of the cat middle class; the rising cost of cat food and nip; and the exhorbitant energy costs of keeping us warm. I pointed out to her that the cat middle class is the core of the American economy; it is the backbone of our nation and it can no longer be ignored. We work harder, we work longer hours, we don't take as many vacations. And yet our green papers are disgracefully dropping ... "Hey wait! Don't walk away from me with that noncommittal smile on your face! I'm not finished yet ..." Senator Clinton explained to me that she did not meet with cat leaders without preconditions, one of which was that I would not show up wearing my Chey for President tee-shirt ... so, being a master of diplomacy, I removed it before we moved outside to address the crowd. Before her departure at 1:30 p.m. Senator Clinton and I gave our closing remarks to a crowd of thousands gathered outside the Saratoga Restaurant, with the Vigo County Courthouse in the background ... All in all, my summit with Senator Clinton was a productive one, and I believe that even if after considering my irrefutable points she ultimately decides to stay in the race, she will at least turn her attention to these urgent cat matters ... Especially since I finally convinced her that I was NOT the State Department contract employee who breached her passport file last year.

This is not an easy time to be looking for a job. As the Labor Department recently reported, the unemployment rate held steady last month at 8.2 percent, and new jobs are being generated at a slow pace. Which is why, now more than ever, job seekers need to start attaching photos of Nicolas Cage to any e-mails they send to prospective employers. A young Canadian woman says she accidentally did exactly that when she hit send on an e-mail to York University to inquire about an administrative assistant position. After it was too late, she realized that instead of attaching her cover letter and resume, she actually attached a jpeg of Cage looking psychotic. Uproxx posted the message with the accompanying photo, as first shared on the woman’s Tumblr. But before you click either of those links to see it, I must warn you: swallow any beverage you may currently be consuming. Because once you see the image of this e-mail, you will spew what’s left of your drink on whatever happens to be nearby: your computer, your lap and, potentially, your loved ones. I first came across this nugget of joy on Facebook, where Post colleagues Bethonie Butler and Emi Kolawole shared it.That was three hours ago. I just stopped laughing at that image approximately seven minutes ago. No, wait, I’m looking at it again. Make that six minutes ago. Like the fine blogger at Uproxx, I agree that the woman who made the error, identified as Vanessa Hojda, absolutely should be hired. This incident actually demonstrates that she possesses several qualities that are desireable in a potential employee. (Read: Vanessa Hojda speaks.) 1. She has a sense of humor. Anyone who would save that particular photo of Nicolas Cage clearly understands comedy. And who doesn’t want someone in the office who can make us laugh a little with some classic Nicolas Cage-related gags and GIFs? 2. She’s obviously Web savvy. She knows how to save as well as attach jpegs and other files. Granted, in this case, she chose the wrong one. But clearly, the skill set is there. Plus, she has her own Tumblr, which brings me to point three in this woman’s favor. 3. She’s a team player who owns up to her mistakes. Anyone who would share the details of this mishap in an online public forum clearly wants to brighten the lives of millions. She’s both a humble and generous sort, certainly generous enough to merit being hired as an administrative assistant for the summer. In fact, I think she’s destined for something even bigger. 4. This woman could start a revolution. As I noted earlier in this post, it’s a tough job market out there. So in a demonstration of solidarity with this briefly attachment-impaired individual, I suggest that tomorrow, every person in North America who sends a resume to a potential boss should attach that very same photo of Nicolas Cage instead. This could be the ultimate meme moment for these trying economic times. In a way, it’s like saying to corporate America: you may not be allowing me to pursue my career of choice right now, but you shall never steal my capacity to appreciate Nicolas Cage’s wild eyes and flaring nostrils. As empowering messages go, I much prefer that to YOLO. That acronym irritates me. More from Celebritology:

GameStop shares are going to the moon, largely thanks to the power of Reddit and a ‘meme war’ waged with investors.... GameStop shares are going to the moon, largely thanks to the power of Reddit and a ‘meme war’ waged with investors. GameStop’s stock price has exploded again as Reddit’s army of retail traders launched a second salvo in its rebellion against Wall Street. Shares in the video-game retailer surged 101 per cent to an intraday peak of $US184.64 ($235.31) after more than doubling in a wild Wednesday session, adding as much as $US9.7 billion ($A12.3 billion) to its market value in just two days. Traders on the WallStreetBets forum celebrated the massive move in the stock they turned into a symbol of a populist uprising against hedge funds and big-time investors. “Who’s putting billboards up again? I love the stock!” a Redditor named immya124 wrote on the message board on Thursday. “GME is what separated the men from the boys,” Carl95M posted, referring to GameStop’s ticker symbol and adding two of WallStreetBets’ favourite emojis – a rocket and a diamond. It’s unclear what sparked the meme stock revival after about two weeks of muted trading. One potential catalyst might have been a cryptic Twitter post from GameStop board member and investor Ryan Cohen, the Chewy.com co-founder who some fans see as key to improving the company’s fortunes. The tweet, posted about two hours before the markets closed on Wednesday, featured a photo of a McDonald’s ice cream cone and was captioned with a lone frog emoji. Traders on Twitter and Reddit speculated wildly about its meaning. Some thought Cohen was hinting that he would fix GameStop by likening the company to McDonald’s notoriously unreliable ice cream machines. Some claimed it was a sign that he would be named GameStop’s chief executive, pointing to an anecdote about Chewy’s first board meeting including “a trip to McDonalds for soft serve”. Thursday’s rally put a fresh squeeze on short sellers, who have added nearly two million GameStop shares worth $US181 million ($A230 million) to their bets against the stock over the past week, according to data from S3 Partners. Investors with short positions in the Texas-based company have now racked up nearly $US11 billion ($A14 billion) in mark-to-market losses since the start of the year, S3’s data shows. “GME’s short side was not the primary driver of the sudden and sharp increase in its stock price,” S3 managing director Ihor Dusaniwsky said. “While there were some buy-to-covers brought about by large mark-to-market losses they were offset by new short sellers looking for a pull back from this volatile price move.” Despite surging for the past two days, GameStop shares were still trading well below the peak of $US483 ($A615) they reached in late January as the Reddit-fuelled market frenzy reached a fever pitch. The unprecedented rally began as an online campaign against hedge funds that had bet against GameStop and other beaten-down companies and ended up attracting the attention of federal regulators. Keith Gill, the retail trader known as “DeepF–ingValue” on Reddit who’s been credited with starting the GameStop surge, doubled down on his investment after testifying before the House Financial Services Committee last week. GameStop’s explosion came after the Texas-based company said chief financial officer James Bell would leave at the end of March. He was reportedly pushed out by board member and investor Ryan Cohen, the Chewy.com co-founder who some GameStop fans see as key to improving the company’s fortunes. After Cohen tweeted a photo of a McDonald’s ice cream cone with a frog emoji on Wednesday, some online traders took the cryptic post as a sign that he was executing some grand turnaround plan. “The frog is the long-used symbol of transition and change, from tadpole to frog,” one Reddit poster speculated.

An entrepreneur will choose the working hours that suit their needs the best. Sokanu reports that the average yearly salary for an entrepreneur in the United States is $57,360. 3. Idea sharing, strategy critiques and bouncing thoughts off one another are the advantages of mingling with other like-minded entrepreneurs. 7. You are less afraid of things, more innovative (because you just have to learn everything from nothing) and not afraid of things. Every idea becomes a potential opportunity to find success.

Some movies push the limit so far beyond the bounds of cinema that they exist merely as morbid spectacle—an irresistible dare upon the most sick-minded viewers. Kuso is one such movie. If that title isn’t yet familiar, you may have heard it referred to, instead, as the Flying Lotus film that incited mass walkouts at Sundance earlier this year. That may have been a slight exaggeration (FlyLo claimed on Twitter that only 20 out of 400 or so attendees fled), but walkouts will seem a completely reasonable reaction once you’ve actually seen this movie, available to stream starting tomorrow. Kuso becomes increasingly unbearable over the course of its 100-minute runtime that if you do end up staying for the whole thing, it may be just to avoid admission of defeat. This is the debut feature from the electronic musician born Steven Ellison, who directorially goes by Steve and previously worked on short films and original soundtracks. Anyone who’s seen Flying Lotus live wouldn’t be surprised at his interest in the cinematic side of things. His shows are often disorienting sensory experiences fueled by 3D stage setups. And Kuso, for better or worse (actually, definitely worse), is one hell of a disorienting sensory experience—a visual orgy of pus and perversion. Through a handful of confusing vignettes, one more disgusting than the last, Ellison portrays a post-apocalyptic world that makes other dystopian films resemble heaven on earth. The film begins with an earthquake that has left Los Angeles’ masses covered in boils and sores—a premise laid out in a musical number that feels like a zombie-fied take on the La La Land intro. Co-writing and starring in Kuso is David Firth, the animator best known for Internet sensation and proto meme Salad Fingers; he employs the same brand of dark humor here, with the grossness turned up to 11. But it’s Ellison who brings their fucked-up creations to life, using his musical talents to underscore the visual viscerality. Kuso features new FlyLo songs (in the vein of his recent output), as well as new work from Aphex Twin, Thundercat, Japanese video game composer Akira Yamaoka, Busdriver, and more. The atmospheric compositions emphasize the film’s surreality, and are often accompanied by the squishing, crunching sound effects of whatever body horror is happening on screen. Then there are occasional music video-like segments in between such scenes, including a rap number culminating in a shockingly graphic moment (even for this film). It may be tempting to compare Kuso to the gory greatness of David Cronenberg, whose creatures from Naked Lunch would feel right at home here. But there’s too much aimless sucking and slobbering. What is really being said when a cockroach crawls out of the ass of a doctor (played by George Clinton, natch), serenades a patient, and cures the man of his inexplicable fear of boobs? Or when Tim Heidecker’s butt gyrates on the screen as he’s fucking a deformed blow-up doll? (It is truly one of the unsexiest sex scenes in the history of cinema.) Or, in a truly unwatchable porno segment, when a man fucks a talking sore on a woman’s neck, which later, covered in cum, growls, “I love the taste of you”? Kuso eventually just becomes a laundry list of vomit-inducing scenes.

It's become a fashion week expectation that Kanye West's YEEZY presentations are multi-medium, press-frenzied spectacles. In 2016, Ye debuted his long-awaited album The Life of Pablo alongside his Season 3 collection at Madison Square Garden, and for Season 4 he pulled off a massive sunbathed show on Roosevelt Island that had some models fainting on the runway. This year's show was no different in terms of scale and buzz — for Paris Fashion Week, Ye had his daughter North West rap an original verse over viral fashion icon ZaZa's "What I Do?" song from last summer. "What are those!" North yells into the microphone every few bars, a reference to the golden age sneakerhead culture meme. The verses may not be on par just yet with her father's carefully crafted rhymes and clapbacks, but she's getting quite the early start with a great mentor by her side. Kanye didn't create the beat, however, and is actually facing some backlash on social media for having North rap over ZaZa's track with no credit to the fellow child celebrity. In an Instagram post made on behalf of ZaZa, media outlets are being asked to show love and credit her for inspiring the Season 8 performance. Omg North West made her rap debut at #yeezyseason8 #pfw show watch: https://t.co/vZCvTNiniv As for the garments on the runway, it's safe to say that North upstaged the collection. Twitter's aflame with influencers and fashion editors praising the 6-year-old's performance, but there aren't many tweets about the Season 8 clothes themselves. Videos taken live from the collection's debut show wintry white puffers and snow boots, harkening back to the militaristic structuring from his Season 2 showcase, but as if it was now being shown in Arendelle. Think, "Elsa goes to SoHo." The West family hasn't made any indication that North will be putting out the cover of ZaZa's "What I Do?" as an official single, or starting her own music career, but she's already got the built-in buzz. Why not at least give her a feature credit on the next album, Ye?

Dogecoin, named popular internet meme ‘Doge’, had proven to empower online communities by taking hold of the life of its own when it was meant as a jest by its creator. In fact, Dogecoin was first used as a way to ‘tip’ content creators on Reddit and Twitter. An easy payment way for the joy its content might have brought quickly caught the attention of the gambling industry. Soon Dogecoin gambling became a thing, incorporated alongside a plethora of other popular cryptocurrencies and it remains so to these days. Today, all the best online casinos provide their players with dogecoin payments. History of Dogecoin Dogecoin was born out of a joke that meant to do nothing but to have those familiar with the internet meme ‘Doge’ have a quick laugh and nothing else. The origin dates back in November 2013, how everything started by Jackson Palmer, a project manager for the Australian branch of Adobe, Inc. The tweet, now deleted, was: “Investing in Dogecoin, pretty sure is the next big thing”. This was meant as taking a piss out of the fact that, at the time, so many alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) were emerging. Many replies on the now-deleted tweet laughed at the absurdity of it. At least one person thought it could actually be more than that. Billy Markus, a cryptocurrency enthusiast and software developer for IBM in Portland, Oregon, was looking to create its own cryptocurrency. At the time, he did not have enough support to launch it. Yet, he came across Jackson Palmer’s tweet by pure chance. Upon seeing all the positive feedback, he figured there was some market interest for this ironic product. He reached out to Palmer, who had actually gotten the Dogecoin.com domain as part of his own joke, seeking to get the project that his joke started off the ground. Bewildered but intrigued, Palmer gave his blessing. Markus built the software behind Dogecoin basing most of its infrastructure on Litecoin’s, another altcoin. The Dogecoin cryptocurrency successfully launched on December 6, 2013. What People Had Done with Dogecoin Since one of Dogecoin’s first uses was to give tips and donations, some enthusiastic users were sure they could use it for actual charity campaigns. For the then coming Sochi Winter Olympic games, the Jamaican bobsled team had no funds to travel there despite qualifying. That was until the Dogecoin community stepped in! In January 2014, they gave the team approximately $30,000 by collectively exchanging 27 million Dogecoins. They did it again in March of that year to help make a well in the Tana river basin in Kenya by giving them $11,000 worth of Dogecoin. Their most publicized stunt in the media came from giving $55,000 on Dogecoin to NASCAR driver John Wise. He ran some races using a Dogecoin and Reddit paint scheme that clearly showed the Shiba Inu dog from the meme clearly on its rear side. The image was enough to draw the commentators to talk about it and, thus, put Dogecoin under the spotlight. The community is still active to this day, and one can only think of what they will come up with next. Dogecoin users that happen to simply love gambling all of a sudden had a new use for it. Far away from the charitable efforts, the community is known for; Dogecoin Gambling enables players to use this fun crypto to have a fun time at the online casino of their choosing. Dogecoin Gambling affords a couple of advantage just like any crypto would: No Bank Fees - When using traditional banking methods for depositing and withdrawing at the casino, the bank takes their cut. When using Dogecoin, there are no banks involved at any step of the way. Thus, no bank fees for you to pay. You get to enjoy more of your money when using Dogecoin. Lighting Fast Transactions – How long do you have to wait for your transaction to move forward when using regular bank methods? Anywhere from three business days to a whole week. How long do you have to wait when using Dogecoin? Less than a minute. Crypto transactions are instantaneous as there’s no bureaucracy which approval you got to wait for. Dogecoin delivers the money to your hands at once. Total Anonymity - The only thing you need to receive Dogecoin is a dogecoin wallet address. For sending it, you likewise only need the wallet address of the other party when sending it. Said wallet address is heavily encrypted. No one will ever know that wallet belongs to you unless you tell them. Hence, your dogecoin transactions remain private and anonymous. It Is Fun! – Not a technical advantage by any means. But the fact that a cryptocurrency that started as a joke is now used for paying at an online casino is hilarious. Dogecoin gambling goes to show that the collective power of tech and internet communities can do anything it sets out to do.

This stick. Look at it. The monkey is correct… despite not being a monkey. Someone needs to scrub that urinal. That said, there’s about 1000X more wrong with this one: One internet meme video that encapsulates them all. Yo dude that stole my lunch! I’m really happy for you, i’m ma let you finish but the hamburglar is one of the best food thiefs of all time… of all time!

In the day and age of social media, everyone has something negative to say about anyone who actually did the work to do something amazing with their lives. But when it comes to rapper Lil Kim, nobody doubts her legendary music career. People love her for the HARDCORE music she put out, her colored wigs, crazy lace outfits, and her sweet, sultry voice. Lil Kim was the sh*t in her prime and if you don’t agree, exit the building now. Recently, I posted a meme photo of Lil Kim on social media which went viral with over 25,000 shares within hours of the post. (Remember, when I offered to teach ya’ll how to operate your social medias in order to build a powerful brand? Well my prices are SUPER HIGH NOW, you can join me over on the masterpiece tribe.) Anyway, as I was saying the post…. The post made me aware of people’s thoughts on Lil Kim. What tripped me out is that one woman said that she thought Kim changed her face and body to TRY AND BE LIKE NICKI MINAJ. Nicki Minaj’s branding was so tight, that many of the younger crowd doesn’t realize that Nicki Minaj’s appearance, minus the booty is basically a Lil Kim knock off. Kim was the first and did the colored wigs and racy clothes the best. And that’s no diss to Nicki. Nicki’s music is all of her own style. But the wigs and clothes were swiped from Lil Kim without honor. I absolutely love them both. I’m simply being honest for historical sake. But back to this story. I blamed Biggie, because we’ve heard Kim say before that she had self-esteem issues because men, including Biggie picked lighter complected women over her. Biggie strung Kim along for years, but married Faith Evans just 2 1/2 months after meeting her. Years later, Kim had bleached her skin light enough to have the same complexion as Faith. Meanwhile Faith threw her whole history away and just married any ole body named Stevie J. 🤦🏼♀️ Lil Kim was abused used and abused by men before and after Biggie, starting with her father who talked down on her. In 2000, Kim told Newsweek: “All my life men have told me I wasn’t pretty enough—even the men I was dating… It’s always been men putting me down just like my dad. To this day when someone says I’m cute, I can’t see it. I don’t see it no matter what anybody says.” As a black woman I know that we as black women are often told by black men that we are not good enough as is. Many men tell us that we need to hit cartwheels in order to please them. No matter what we do, or how awesome we are, there is always a black man to tell us that we aren’t good enough. People love to discount the affect this has on many black women. They act like they don’t know how hard it is to love yourself when the men you love constantly down talk you and rarely ever celebrate you. They real life expect you to just keep on trucking and being strong. After all, I wrote an entire book about this. It’s called “You Can’t Force A Man To Value You – Becoming A High Value Woman & Attracting Your Dream Man.” Because Lord knows that many of us black women are now powerful, prosperous boss chicks, because men told us we weren’t good enough. So we set out in the world to be good enough by starting our own business, or rising to the top of corporate america and making tons of money. Now no one can tell us NOTHING. Which is also why so many women are masculine and don’t know how to get along with masculine men who require feminine women…. Also another reason why I wrote the book. Do you have this book? It’s like changing, and will help you manifest the men of your dreams. Even MEN love the book and have left amazing reviews on Amazon. But back to Kim. I’ve decided to simply honor her amazingness from now on. Let’s stop acting like we don’t understand what she’s gone through in her personal life. Let’s not act like she didn’t inspire millions of women to have more fun with their appearance and honor their sexuality and femininity, even BEFORE she started getting surgery to fix her face, after an abusive ex broke her nose. At the end of the day Lil Kim is AMAZING, and paved the way for all of these new saucy female rappers. And yeah, Biggie did break her heart and abuse her too. But he also loved her, believed in her, and put her on the map.

And dinosaurs also swallowed enormous amounts of rock to help grind up plant matter. So they were much heavier all around than carnivores. You can be an extremely heavy biped, but it's usually better to spread that weight oot over 4 limbs instead of 2. >>3745363>>3745387>>3745390>>3745403>>3745423>>3745455>>3745522>>3745546>>3745549>>3745567>>3745569>>3745583>>3745598>>3745607Why is it so hard for you scum just to make a spontaneous thread why must literally everything have its own general which of course as always will devolve into pointless barely on topic and tired spam that will continue to rot on the board for ever and ever.

They eventually became quad to support their weight and their guts.There were also bipedal ornithisicans like psitaccosaurus and pachycephalosaurus stilland there were also theropods which also developed large arms. Thoughts on omnivorous prosauropods? >>3750226Imagine if some prosauropods continued to survive, kept to omnivory and grew to larger sizes because of their broader diet. They'd be the mesozoic equivalents of grizzly bears, scaring away smaller dedicated theropod carnivores from their kills. >>3750226They'd be like giant iguanas >>3750546pretty giant monitor lizard >>3750543That carch looks frontloaded What was the purpose/function of the antorbital fenestra and mandibular fenestra? >>3750738Are you sure that's why these developed, even in small archosaurs? >>3750742Archosaurs are still lighter boned than mammals of the same body dimensions iirc >>3751043Have you heard of abelisauruses? >>3751071Still waiting on that giant kenyan abelisaur >>3747782imagine petting her belly >>3751043There are plenty of mid sized tyrannosaurs.

Though it would have been better if they sampled Siats too. On a less related note, it's interesting to see Rauhut and Pol's version of (Megalosauroidea + Allosauroidea) Carnosauria being acknowledged in other papers though. >>3745363>everyone'es favorite Mesozoic megafaunaI prefer the sea monsters desu >>3752955why'd they have lil nubs >>3755880Weren't giant ichthyosaurs suction feeders like sperm whales? >>3755894Better question, who would win in a fight between shonisaurus and a sperm whale? >>3755901why do they have so many ribs? >>3755611I dunno, but this fucker is definitely on the spectrum. >>3755923>be a useless retard>should pretty much be extinct>however all competition has died out due to the worst mass extinction even in history >find yourself basically alone in the world>waddle around and fuck like rabbits>make up literally 90% of all vertebrate land fauna as a result >>3755929>>3755923what hunted them? >>3755935I like to think they died off after consuming all the scarce resources left. >>3755949looks like a creature that would be in the background of a star wars movie >>3755966The late permian and early triassic was covered by vast swarths of deserts like tatooine >>3755929That shit's crazy to me. Imagine landing on a planet and it's basically barren with no life except for only one species: retarded pig-lizard looking things that roam around aimlessly.Sounds like a No Man's Sky experience. I’m a noob at Dino stuff and I’m really interested in our true history. I really really wanna know what they looked like. I also really don’t wanna believe that the t rex and other dinosaurs like that had feathers. Also I’m dumb for this but maybe there were trex species with just scales and maybe there were offshoots of them with feathers later on due to evolution of some sort? >>3756106Forgive my autism writing. >>3756106>They all had feathers. >>3756141no.....no....THATS IMPOSSIBLE I refuse to believe it! >>3745546>>3745387I'm new. What's the difference? And what separated Torvosaurus from other theropod of its time like Allosaurus and Saurophaganax? I always love Torvosaurus since it got a cool name. >>3756150It was a more primitive/basal form of theropod >>3756106T-rex is just a solitary fucked case about feather since it evolved from those faggoty feathered small dinos from China. Other big therorpods luckily had a different lineage that ensure its scaleness. >>3755751Neovenatorids are the closest we'll ever get to Cretaceous Allosaurids, their head to body proportions are the most similar to Allosaurus out of all the Carcharodontosaurians. A giant neovenatorid can be thought of as a Cretaceous version of Saurophaganax or Epanterias. >>3745546Hartman's Megalosaurus looks more like Randomdino's Torvosaurus than his own Torvosaurus does. >>3756106The scale/feather dichotomy is more like a gradient. You have reptilian scales and osteoderms to protofeathers and quills all the way to true fluffy feathers. How come there are no sabertooth dinos >>3756351Heterodonty is much more common in therapsids and their descendent than in archosaurs. Most archosaurs only have one shape and size of tooth. Mammals have the inbuilt mechanism for tooth differentiation between molars, premolars, canines, ect. >>3756420Did albertasaurus live to see the K-pg extinction? >>3756435If wiki is anything to go by they went extinct shortly before- around 68 mill years ago >>3756440Coincidentally around the same time T. rex started appearing in North America. It's interesting to think about the interactions between the last Albertosaurus and first Tyrannosaurus or immediate ancestral form of Tyrannosaurus. Was the former outcompeted and replaced the same way modern humans replaced Neanderthals? Who knows. If the Deccan traps hadn't been erupting and causing the dinos to die off would some of them had survived the asteroid? >>3756460well we have chickens so... >>3756467Okay non-avian, non-crocodilian dinosaurs then what would happen if you kiss a dino >>3756457I wonder if the Asian Tyrannosaurids became as large as T. rex around the time of the K-Pg impact like North American Tyrannosaurids did. The fossil record of large Tyrannosaurids stops a few million years before the end Cretaceous extinction iirc and the latest Asian Tyrannosaurid (Tarbosaurus) is still much smaller than T. rex. Did they stay small or did they increase in body mass and body size shortly before the asteroid like in North America? >>3756482how much would it hurt >>3756505if you've ever been bitten by a goose, I would imagine it would hurt that muchif it had teeth than probably on the same level as a house cat or dog >>3756460It's been a while since i read up on circumstances around the late cretaceous but I was under the impression that dinosaur decline, as well as ptersaurs, pre asteroid was overrated... a great deal of mammals and birds were wiped out as well so I think no matter what happened with the traps we would end up same survivors as OTL >>3756510Coincedentll I was reading this today on bird linenage k-t extinction and survival... apparently only ground dwelling burrowing birds survived http://nrm.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1275964/FULLTEXT01.pdf >tfw I didn't discover the best general on this site until todayThe untold hours of top tier Mesozoic discussion I've missed out on... >>3756510>as OTLWhat does that stand for? >>3756023I had the same thought, like minded anon. I wonder if they roamed in huge herds thousand strong like the American bison used to, or was it just a ton of smaller herds? >>3745512>give kids dino toys and shower them in dino media>they end up wanting to bone raptors and t-rexesjust like the hollow earth reptiloid society intended >>3756501Didn't someone post earlier in the thread about NA trex becoming more gracile over time? Super large rexxes could have been a temporary phenomenon >>3756533Last time I checked asian tyrannosaurs weren't shrinking. If anything since they're likely to be ancestors of T. rex they actually increased in size >>3756546Make sense it would be odd if the asian rexxes didn't get any bigger but the N.American ones did... I'm not really families on the topic.... >>3756106The general ancestor for dinosaurs seem to be feathered, with scales being the derived part. Tyrannosauroids ancestrally had feathers, but Rex likely lost them or were with sparse feathers with what skin impressions we have. >>3755894No, adult Shonisaurus had large,pointed teeth with recent studies. Sperm whales also don't suction feed and have teeth to grab prey. >>3755371>During that time, South America and Africa were already split.ghost lineage. Many such cases. >>3756525Considering herds are mostly an anti-predation measure and Lystrosaurus had no significant competitors or predators, I wouldn't be surprised if they just kind of milled about at random. >>3752480Wait, are they admitting to making things up? Why did Macronarian sauropods outlast Diplodocoidean sauropods? >>3756857>>3755929That's so weird, such a strange chapter in our earth's history >>3757056Any time period post mass die-off is gonna be wierd >>3757049Apparently Alamosaurus crossed over to North America from South America, there was a land bridge between the two continents before the Cenozoic >>3757068Does this mean tyrannosaurs could've met abelisaurs? >>3756580It could've been a situation where there a bunch of similarly sized (4-5 ton) Tyrannosaurid taxon in Maastrichtian Asia while there was only one really large (>6-7 ton) Tyrannosaurid taxon in Maastrichtian North America because T. rex had little competition from other similar sized Tyrannosaurids unlike Tarbosaurus or Zhuchengtyrannus I assume. So T. rex could grow to larger sizes. >>3757087Zhuchengtyrannus lived a few million years before Tarbosaurus last time I checked >>3756546No necessarily, T. rex could've been descended from Southern Tyrannosaurs native to North America similar to Lythronax. "Alamotyrannus" is a good candidate for an immediate ancestor to T. rex imo >>3756517It's never too late to start fren >>3752058There was a mosasaur in the kem kem >>3757082me on the bottom >>3756150Torvosaurus is less sausage shaped in the first picture >>3756150The new reconstruction is much more heavily built. If you're asking what about it makes it a magalosaur instead of an allosaur, then it comes down to morphology. Normally the phylogenetically informative characters are pretty minute and esoteric, but in the case of Torvosaurus, I think even a layman can tell who its more related to just by eyeballing it. >>3757195>I think even a layman can tell who its more related to just by eyeballing it.>don't find complete articulated skeleton>assume the parts we find are related to other known animal with complete and articulated skeleton>reconstruct with the missing or disarticulated parts based on the more complete supposed relative>entire taxa look alike because they're all based on one known member>Layman: "See how closely related they are, they all look alike" >>3757209I was trying to give him a simple comprehensive picture, not get bogged down in the minutiae of reconstructions. we're dinosaurs really reptiles, or were they their own thing like mammals and birds (I know that they are dinos too) are?also, how sure are we of any of them having fur? >>3757143hey, you look kinda disabled >>3757214>not get bogged down in the minutiae of reconstructions.I don't blame you for avoiding the topic, you clearly don't understand it. This is a better irritator outline to the anon from last thread >>3757218>Were they reptilesReptiles (and mammals, birds, fish etc) as a group are a fairly arbitrary construction that is supposedly defined by its traits. This works for modern animals, as all modern reptiles share these traits, but when you look into the evolutionary history of all these groups, you find that many of these traits appear and disappear throughout time. Closely related groups may have completely different traits (mosasaurs give live birth while monitor lizards lay eggs) and some distantly related groups have convergent traits (mammals and many dinosaurs are both warm blooded and have filamentous integument). This means that these neat little categories of traits we group animals in are pretty useless, and modern systematics revolves around the idea of evolutionary descent. A group of animals with a single common ancestor is called a clade. Reptiles do not form a good clade because it excludes some descendants (birds) from the group making it paraphyletic and somewhat arbitrary.Tldr the word reptile doesnt really mean anything anymore and is falling out of use with evolutionary biologists/paleontologists. >>3757229>You clearly don't understand itOh? And what makes you say so? The most inclusive phylogeny ever published on Tetanurae retrieves torvo as sister taxon to megalosaurus. While the paper has had criticism, I haven't seen a single gripe with Megalosaurinae. With the addition of Elvis we have enough bones to aggregate pretty close to the whole and the skull is only missing the top of the nasals, the squamosal some of the quadrate and the mid part of the dentary. I know that the multiple specimens of torvo are different sizes and that leads to some difficulty in its exact proportions, but the thing was clearly a megalosaur. Step off. >>3757255you didn't post Torvosuaurus, you posted Megalosaurus.and you know zilch about how skull joints worked.You don't understand how the appearance of the skull is changed based on what we think it was related to. If we thought Torvosaurus was an allosaurid we'd change the shape of the skull to look like an allosauruid. I explained this to you and you're still too dim to grasp it. >>3757218Dinosaurs are closer to both crocodiles and birds than to most of modern reptiles, like lizards and snakes.Crocodiles are a sister group, that retains a lot of ancient traits, and birds are actually one of the dinosaurs groups, similar how humans are a group of mammals. >>3755856Has anyone restored Chilantaisaurus as a Neoventorid? >>3757264>and birds are actually one of the dinosaurs groups, similar how humans are a group of mammals.A bit more complicated than that ngl >Formulas? I just scale using faulty scalebars. >>3757261I posted megalosaurus for the anon to compare torvo to both allo and meg. If I wanted to get autistic, I would post eustreptospondylus or some other more complete megalosaur. >If we thought Torvosaurus was an allosaurid we'd change the shape of the skull to look like an allosauruidYeah no shit. And if my grandmother had two weeks she'd be a bicycle. But we don't think its an allosaurid because every thing we have points towards it being a megalosaur. Just because some of the proportions of the different specimens leads to some ambiguity surrounding the scale of the skull joints doesn't mean the general shape of almost all the skull bones isn't known. You're trying to imply that there's more ambiguity in Torvo's skull than there is. I get that you're having a bad day, but you either have an informed opinion about Torvo remains that you're holding back and criticizing everyone else for not immediately understanding, or you're just assuming that I just repeat whatever information I see in pictures because I didn't g in depth with a layman and you want an excuse to put me down to feel superior. Either way, you're being a massive asshole for no real reason. Thoughts on furry synapsids? Anyone tried one of those roblox dino sims? >>3757299They need more love in general >>3757333No meat all bones >>3756481depends on how well you know each otherif you know each other well, expect either a small smooch, or a big slobbery kiss back if not, don't expect anything interesting. they'll just wonder wtf you did >>3757270The siats holotype is very similar in size >>3754585Look at this dude >>3757359I thought that was a spinosaur but reverse image search gave me qianzhousaurus >>3747415Hey, that's clever. >>3757348dilophosaurus is bigger than that >>3757264Archosaurs aren't reptiles >>3752299>I think we should get off the road...>>Get off the road! Quick! >>3757379They are members of class reptilia. >>3757379are you really going to argue that crocodiles and alligators aren't reptiles Image an allosaurus sized coelophysis... >>3757425Big if true.

Welcome to another WWW Wednesday! This meme is hosted by Taking on a World of Words. To participate, just answer the following three questions: What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next? I’m currently reading… The Stranger Inside by Laura Benedict This is a NetGalley ARC for a February release. I haven’t formed an opinion yet, as I’m just getting into it, but it’s a mystery/thriller about a woman who comes home to find a mysterious stranger has moved into her house while she was out of town. (So, it’s similar to Our House, by Louise Candlish, but I’m hoping I’ll like this one more.) Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly This is a WWII historical fiction novel that I’m reading with my book club girls. The story follows three women in very different circumstances during the war, and I’m finding it a really difficult read, which is not to say it’s bad, but definitely raw and real. I recently finished reading… Warcross, by Marie Lu (full review here) This sci-fi YA novel had a fun concept, and I wanted to love it, but it was just okay. It definitely doesn’t feel like one of those YA novels that translates well to an adult audience (like Strange the Dreamer, which I will stand by until I’m 80.) I do like what it set up for the sequel, Wildcard, though, so I will be reading the next book. (Side note: I have a signed copy of Wildcard, and as someone who isn’t crazy about the series, I’d rather it end up in the hands of a fan. I may host a giveaway over on my Tumblr or Instagram for both books sometime soon. I’ll update here if/when that happens.) The Lost Man, by Jane Harper (ARC – Release date February 5, 2019) I just finished this yesterday, and I thought it was phenomenal. It started out slow and I wasn’t sure I was going to like it at all, but if you pick up a copy, do yourself a favor and stick it out through the first third or so. This is a mystery/suspense novel with some family drama aspects to it, with complex, morally gray characters and an interesting exploration of toxic masculinity and violence. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, by Taylor Jenkins Reid (full review here) This was a reread for my because my book club read it this month, and you all know by now that I love this book to pieces. If you haven’t read it, you’re missing out. I’ve never discussed it with anyone who didn’t absolutely love it, and most of the ladies in my book club said it was their favorite book we’ve read all year. Killing Adam, by Earik Beann (ARC – Release date January 1st, 2019) I thought I’d love this one, as it had a really interesting take on a kind of Ready Player One scenario. Most of the population is increasingly abandoning real life to spend their time in virtual reality, but in this novel, the protagonist is unable to engage with the software due to a brain anomaly, so he’s left behind and isolated in a lot of ways. Unfortunately, I found the writing kind of underwhelming, and this one ended up being just okay. The Au Pair by Emma Rous A grand estate, terrible secrets, and a young woman who bears witness to it all. If V. C. Andrews and Kate Morton had a literary love child, Emma Rous’ The Au Pair would be it. Seraphine Mayes and her twin brother Danny were born in the middle of summer at their family’s estate on the Norfolk coast. Within hours of their birth, their mother threw herself from the cliffs, the au pair fled, and the village thrilled with whispers of dark cloaks, changelings, and the aloof couple who drew a young nanny into their inner circle. Now an adult, Seraphine mourns the recent death of her father. While going through his belongings, she uncovers a family photograph that raises dangerous questions. It was taken on the day the twins were born, and in the photo, their mother, surrounded by her husband and her young son, is beautifully dressed, smiling serenely, and holding just one baby. Who is the child and what really happened that day? One person knows the truth, if only Seraphine can find her.

Yesterday, a circus rolled into the White House. Donald Trump hosted what he called a “social media summit” (it was not) and invited an absurd troupe of right-wing internet performers to vent about platforms supposedly suppressing conservative views. Among the guests were the sting artist James O’Keefe, who Trump singled out for praise; at least one booster of QAnon, a deep-state conspiracy theory that’s far too convoluted to explain here; and a “memesmith” known as “Carpe Donktum.” It ended with Sebastian Gorka, a Trump official turned talk-radio host, screaming “YOU’RE A PUNK” in the face of Brian Karem, White House reporter for Playboy. Has the Rose Garden ever seen anything as undignified, or as pointless? Ahead of time, Recode’s Peter Kafka compiled an explainer about the “summit,” in Q&A format. It opened: “Do I have to pay attention to that? No.” Lots of outlets ignored that advice. Why? CNN’s Oliver Darcy argued that the event was newsworthy—not because it constituted any meaningful reckoning for big tech, but because Trump was using the White House to legitimize extremists. Charlie Warzel, a tech columnist at The New York Times, reached a similar conclusion: the event, he argued, offered clues about elements of Trump’s strategy for 2020. He attested, however, to having “real reservations” about covering it at all. “It was a meme fever dream of questionable newsworthiness—all tailor made for reporters with Twitter accounts,” Warzel wrote. “And the media is caught in the middle, unsure how to cover a group who, time and again, dupe them into amplifying their propaganda and nonsense.” It’s reasonable to argue that journalists should call out abnormal things: If we don’t, do we not accept them as normal? The problem is that we’re drowning in abnormal things: this week alone, the president was linked to a high-profile sex-trafficking case—both directly, through his past friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the accused, and indirectly, through the conduct of Alexander Acosta, his labor secretary, in a past Epstein legal case. (Three weeks ago, Trump himself was accused of rape. Remember that?) Trump continues to be at the center of a feud with the victorious US women’s soccer team and its captain. And then his administration leaked that it would round up and deport migrant families—a copy of raids by other presidents that amounts to cruel campaign stunt. Throughout yesterday’s “summit,” speculation swirled that Trump was about to use an executive order to put a citizenship question on the census, flouting a Supreme Court ruling; in the end, he backed down—effectively conceding to an argument by government lawyers that he had previously called “FAKE!” As Politico’s Playbook email notes this morning, Trump’s presidency is “increasingly erratic.” The “social media summit” is trivial, but it’s also strategic: by eating away at the edges of our attention, we’re that much less able to focus on the other cascading stories. The event—like so much Trump puts forward—was useless noise. When will we learn to hear what it is, and keep walking? Below, more from the instability beat: - A reminder: Yesterday, Trump repeated a favored gripe: that Twitter is deliberately curbing his follower count. In April, he reportedly made that complaint in person to Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s CEO. Dorsey explained that everyone on Twitter loses followers now and then as the service cleanses itself of automated bots. - Turning Point: Ahead of the “summit,” The Washington Post ran an op-ed by Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, a right-wing group. The piece drew criticism: “This was a really disappointing decision by the Post, to run something so factually inaccurate from a known bad actor,” CJR’s Mathew Ingram tweeted. The Post opinion section responded that it’s committed to hosting a wide range of views. - Turning point?: In light of this week’s final, delayed reckoning for Epstein, Laura Bassett asks, for GQ, “When is America going to reckon with the alleged serial sexual abuser in the White House?” - What it’s really about: The Trump administration claimed it wanted to put the citizenship question on the census to help enforce the Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court judged that to be a false pretext. In an essay last month, The Atlantic’s Adam Serwer explained the real reasoning behind the push: to gerrymander voting districts along racial lines favorable to the Republican Party. Other notable stories: - Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee voted to subpoena 12 people—including Jared Kushner, Jeff Sessions, and Michael Flynn—in its ongoing investigation into whether the president has obstructed justice or otherwise abused power. The committee also subpoenaed David Pecker and Dylan Howard, who, as CEO of American Media Inc. and editor of The National Enquirer, respectively, were implicated in the hush-money payments Trump made to hide extramarital affairs during the campaign. - In the wake of Epstein’s arrest, a writer named Vicky Ward alleged that Graydon Carter, former editor of Vanity Fair, excised damning on-the-record allegations about Epstein from a 2003 profile. For The Hollywood Reporter, Kim Masters writes that she believes Ward’s account; Carter, Masters writes, “nipped and tucked” her own work for Vanity Fair after subjects complained. Carter denies all this; nonetheless, NBC’s Dylan Byers writes, the claims threaten to overshadow Carter’s launch of Air Mail, a weekly newsletter for “worldly cosmopolitans” that’s set to debut next Saturday. A year’s subscription is $50. - On Monday, Norah O’Donnell will take over as anchor of CBS Evening News. Her first show will feature space-themed interviews with Jeff Bezos and Caroline Kennedy. For the Post, Margaret Sullivan previews O’Donnell’s push to boost anemic ratings. But “ratings aside, if O’Donnell manages to return even a smidgen of trust to the beleaguered news media, that would count as a win,” Sullivan adds. Per Page Six, CBS management just hosted a “pep rally” for Evening News staff that featured a “music video” of O’Donnell and her bosses dancing to a DJ Khaled song. - CJR’s Andrew McCormick spoke with journalists at the El Paso Times, for whom the situation at the border is a local news story. “Reporters say they find themselves surrounded by unturned stones, each with the potential for nationwide scandal,” McCormick writes. Last weekend, the paper published a detailed article about a controversial local border facility, a collaboration with The New York Times. Kyle Pope, CJR’s editor and publisher, discussed the joint story with Lauren Villagran and Aaron Montes, two reporters for the El Paso Times, on our podcast, The Kicker. - The New York Times’s Charlie Savage reports that the CIA is pushing Congress to significantly broaden the law that criminalizes the public identification of undercover intelligence operatives. The law currently bars journalists and others from naming covert agents who served abroad within the past five years; the CIA wants the law to indefinitely cover anyone who ever served as a covert agent, in the US or overseas. Press-freedom advocates are alarmed. - In light of the US women’s national soccer team’s recent World Cup win, Gabriel Snyder, CJR’s public editor for the Times, assesses the lack of gender representation on the paper’s sports desk. “Sports writing has long been disproportionately male,” he writes. “The Times sports section now stands out for being exceedingly so.” The desk now has fewer female writers than it used to, Snyder finds. - Earlier this week, an appeals court ruled that Trump violated the First Amendment when he blocked Twitter users based on their views. Now, Jeffery C. Mays reports for the Times, two users blocked by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are suing her in the hope of a similar verdict. “Joey Salads,” a controversial YouTuber and Congressional candidate, tells Mays that he wants to test whether the courts have a double standard for liberals and conservatives. - For The New Republic, Clio Chang argues that unionization might save journalism. “In the face of a clear and immediate threat from Big Tech, what journalism needs is a bulwark,” Chang writes. “What it needs is some serious leverage. What it needs, in this annus horribilis and beyond, is organized labor—which, in many instances, is also the very thing media companies fear most.” - And officials on Roosevelt Island in New York plan to erect a statue commemorating Nellie Bly, Rachel Holliday Smith reports for The City. In 1887, at the age of 23, Bly went undercover to report on an asylum there, and her story revealed inhumane conditions for the mentally ill.

This critique of the writings of Singaporean analyst Kishore Mahbubani argues that he reduces diversity and complexity to crude either-or stereotypes, as in his master narrative pitting “the West” against “the Rest.” In accusing “the Western mind” of being able to think only in black-and-white terms, he contradicts his own Manichean method. His prejudice against “the West” leads him to patronize Aung San Suu Kyi while distorting and deriding her motives as insufficiently pro-Asian. He falsely suggests that the people of China are happily enjoying good governance. And the great global “convergence” of countries and peoples that he claims to have discovered is incoherent. Kishore Mahbubani is well known and well credentialed. The widely published dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore has been listed among the “top 100 global thinkers” by Foreign Policy magazine not once but thrice—in 2005, 2010, and 2011. In praising one of Mahbubani’s books, Harvard professor Larry Summers stated that “there is no more thoughtful observer of Asia, the United States, and their interaction than Kishore Mahbubani.”1 Despite this renown, Mahbubani’s world—the view of global affairs that his many writings convey—has not received the breadth of analytic attention that it would appear to deserve. Books about Mahbubani and his world by authors other than himself do not, to my knowledge, exist. Nor is a Google search for “articles about Kishore Mahbubani” especially productive. His website displays “Recent Articles About Me” and “Past Articles About Me.” But many of these pieces mention his work only in passing or convey his opinions more or less uncritically in interviews. For a commentator as prominent as Mahbubani, reviews of his ideas are regrettably sparse. Critiques of some of his opinions have, of course, appeared. His first book expressed his conviction that “the aggressive Western promotion of democracy, human rights and freedom of the press to the Third World at the end of the Cold War was, and is, a colossal mistake.”2 This remark and its related defense of “Asian values” were sharply criticized by another widely read author, Ian Buruma, who would later join Mahbubani on Foreign Policy’s list of the “top 100 global thinkers” in 2010.3 In his response to Buruma, Mahbubani accused Western liberals of viewing the world in either-or terms: “free or unfree, open or closed, totalitarian or democratic.” He defended his book as challenging “this black and white perspective,” as offering “a non-Western worldview in a world dominated by a Western Weltanschauung.” “I do not believe,” replied Buruma with Singapore in mind, that being “free to do business but not to criticize the government is the best way to conduct political affairs, and what is more, nor do most Asians.” Buruma cited democratizing demands and trends in Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. He admitted that Singapore might be an exception, but added “I would like to hear that from Singaporean citizens, in a free press, and not from an official government scribe”—a swipe at Mahbubani’s status at the time as his country’s ambassador to the United Nations.4 Mahbubani is not above casting his own aspersions, as in this recent unconditional accusation: “Americans cannot understand what is happening in Asia.” Or this one: “Whenever the EU gets a chance, it slaps Asia in the face.” Or this one: “America never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.”5 But if such remarks seem at best impolite, he makes no apology for them. Quite the contrary: “Asians are too polite. Sometimes it takes a relatively rude Asian, like me, to express our continent’s true feelings.”6 Unable as I am to fathom the “true feelings” of more than four-billion people, I cannot know whether they feel they are living in Mahbubani’s world or not. Nor, for lack of time and space, am I able to explore fully here the extent to which reality validates the opinions that he conveys or the praise and prominence that he enjoys. My purpose is merely to highlight, and at least to begin to assess, some of the assumptions, arguments, and concepts that animate his burgeoning oeuvre as they are manifested in his recent writings, especially with reference to democracy and human rights and to the Southeast Asian region where he lives. Aung San Suu Kyi’s “Mistake” Aung San Suu Kyi, after having withstood more than two decades of intermittent personal and political repression at the hands of Burma’s misruling generals, including fifteen years spent in detention, was released from house arrest in November 2010. In June 2012, she traveled to Europe. She visited Switzerland, Norway, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. In Oslo, she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize that her confinement had prevented her from receiving in person in 1991. Suu Kyi’s trip had barely begun when an op-ed by Mahbubani called her judgment into question. The title of the piece summarized its author’s advice: “The Lady should look to Asia not Europe.” Mahbubani began by assuring his readers that in view of her lengthy harassment by [End Page 167] the junta and her courageous refusal to bend to its will, “no one should begrudge Ms Suu Kyi the royal treatment she is receiving in Europe. Yet,” he continued, “as she walks through the admiring throngs, she should heed the wisdom of victorious Roman generals, who when parading through Rome supposedly had a slave to whisper in their ear ‘remember you are mortal.’ They were reminded that they could make mistakes. And Ms Suu Kyi could make serious errors in Europe.”7 Thus did Mahbubani liken a brave woman who had endured decades of repression by Burmese generals to a Roman general in need of a slave to caution against megalomania. The image was more than begrudging; it was patronizing. Forget Europe, he advised: “The regional organisation that can truly help Myanmar is the Association of South East Asian Nations [ASEAN], not the EU.” He himself forgot to note that Brussels, where the European Union is headquartered, was not even on her itinerary, or that, unlike ASEAN, the EU had actually supported her struggle for democracy and human rights. Perhaps it did not occur to him that she might have wanted to thank those who had actually helped and honored her during her persecution. Suu Kyi’s engagements in Europe included speaking to the International Labor Oganization’s annual assembly in Geneva, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in person in Oslo, and addressing the British Parliament in London. Mahbubani ignored all of her engagements save one, and that one he dismissed: “Attending a U2 concert in Dublin,” he warned, would not bring “hope” to “her people.” For that to happen, “Ms Suu Kyi may have to change her mental maps. She has to look at Asian case studies and not attend European concerts.” Mahbubani’s readers could be forgiven for concluding that Suu Kyi had succumbed to frivolity in Dublin—that instead of doing something serious that might have brought hope to the people of her country she had indulged her personal taste as a fan of U2. The falsity of that conclusion relied on the selectivity of Mahbubani’s own “mental map,” for he had failed even to allude to the true purpose of the event in Dublin. It was not “a U2 concert.” It was a gathering of human-rights-minded activists, celebrities, and musicians, including U2, who spoke and performed in her honor. She was there to receive in person the Ambassador of Conscience Award that Amnesty International had conferred on her in Dublin three years before. Her acceptance speech was a high point of the night, and the link to U2 was through its lead singer, Bono, the humanitarian activist-cum-philanthropist who had for years campaigned for her freedom and the freedom of political prisoners in Burma. In Mahbubani’s world, Suu Kyi was wrong to have visited Europe. Europe, to him, is “a deeply wounded continent” whose people “are frightened for their own future. Saving others is their last priority, no matter how noble the cause.” In fact, proceeds from the supposedly “me-first” Europeans and others who gathered in Dublin were set to be [End Page 168] spent on improving the health and education of the Burmese people and advancing human rights in Burma and elsewhere. Nor does it help his contention that Suu Kyi had cold-shouldered Asia, and especially Southeast Asia, to know another fact missing from his essay: that her European tour was her second trip outside Burma following her release from detention. She had traveled first to Thailand—Burma’s Asian neighbor and a founding member of the very ASEAN that Mahbubani implied she had ignored. As for his implication that she had disregarded Asian economic growth while focusing on Western human rights, he also failed to note that in Bangkok, where ASEAN was born, she had addressed hundreds of Asian and other business executives and officials at the 21st World Economic Forum on East Asia. In her speech, she acknowledged Thailand’s impressive economic development and urged her audience to create jobs in Burma by investing there. In his advice to Suu Kyi, Mahbubani pitted Asia against Europe in stunningly Manichean fashion: “All the models for Myanmar to grow and succeed are in Asia. None are in Europe.”8 In this either-or judgment, Asia’s record of rapid economic growth was compelling enough to render Europe’s achievement of liberal democracy completely irrelevant—an astonishing position to hold in light of the urgency of political reform in Burma as it emerges from a militarized past that has not been fully overcome. The Few and the Many Accolades such as “brilliant” (Nouriel Roubini), “full of wisdom” (Pascal Lamy), and “always intelligent” (Fareed Zakaria) adorn the back jacket of Mahbubani’s fourth and latest book, The Great Convergence: Asia, the West, and the Logic of One World (to which the parenthetical page references in this essay refer), published by PublicAffairs in 2013. Its title is also encouraging. Insofar as a “great convergence” implies a major narrowing of differences, it should augur relief from a crudely black and white “mental map” of Europe as useless and Asia as exemplary. Instead, the book enlarges these continental toponyms into an even more sweeping and Procrustean dichotomization of “the West” versus “the Rest”—his signature meme from earlier work.9 In Convergence, the binary division is cast in demographic terms: the 12 percent of humanity that are labeled “the West” versus the 88 percent that make up “the Rest.” This statistical divergence, to which Convergence returns again and again, is a key to understanding the majoritarian yet elitist character of Mahbubani’s world, geared as it is to allocating power democratically between states while ignoring the presence or absence of democracy inside them. Mahbubani’s majoritarianism is expressed in his confidence in the UN General Assembly, with its one-state-one-vote rule, as a place for [End Page 169] conversation between the 12 percent and the 88 percent. “As more and more global issues come our way, we need to find out quickly and in one venue what the 7 billion inhabitants of the planet want” (p. 249). Intriguing in this context is his proposal that the General Assembly be automatically convened to discuss any Security Council resolution that has been vetoed by one of the latter’s permanent members. It is nevertheless unclear why one should rely on the rulers of the UN’s 193 member countries, of which 104 have been classified by Freedom House as either Not Free (47) or only Partly Free (57), to articulate accurately, let alone “quickly,” what “7 billion people” want. States are the ineluctable building blocks of Mahbubani’s world—its constituent bricks or, more aptly given his attention to the 88 percent, its BRICS. Yet he wants “the voices and interests of each human being” to be “represented equally well in key global institutions.” His solution, however, is not to encourage democracy within countries to ensure that their governments articulate those voices and represent their interests. It is for “the West” to stop dominating “the Rest” and to allow the latter’s leaders to head those global institutions. By implication, obstructionist “Western societies”—unlike those of “the Rest”—do not want “a just, legitimate, and democratic global order” (p. 119). Cases in point for Mahbubani include the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). So “tightly controlled” by “the West” are the Bank and the OECD that their evaluations cannot be trusted (p. 201). The “best thing” that could happen to “the narrow and self-serving club” that is the OECD is its liquidation. Its resources could then be spent “set[ting] up think tanks and schools of public policy in the developing world” (p. 203). One may wonder whether OECD members Chile, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, and Turkey, diverse and dispersed as they are, realize that they belong to a “narrow and self-serving club” of “Western” countries that deserves liquidation. Mahbubani’s asperity toward the “12 percent” does not make him a cheerleader for mass planetary rule by the “88 percent.” Elite leadership is the key to his vision. The world as he sees it is a “boat”—that is, a huge ship—with 193 cabins. Each one houses the population of a single UN-member country. (Presumably Taiwan’s 23 million are in China’s cabin or on the deck awaiting a room of their own.) Each cabin has a captain and a crew who claim sole dominion within its walls. Out on the ocean, currents are changing. Storms loom. “None of us” would sail into such turbulence without “a capable captain and crew at the helm of our boat. Yet the global policy community proposes to do exactly that” (p. 3). What does this, the central metaphor of Convergence, imply? It could mean that the entire global policy community, minus Mahbubani himself, cherishes the absolute sovereignty of individual states and proposes to sail into danger with that Westphalian condition intact. That is false; [End Page 170] internationalism exists. Or he means to condemn that same global policy community, again presumably minus himself, for refusing to satisfy the obvious desire of everyone—all “of us”—for a global government under the command of one capable captain and crew. That, too, is false; nationalism exists. Or perhaps Mahbubani would overthrow the global policy community and replace it with world federalists. That is unrealistic if not also unwise. Or he would avoid the conflict between what regular folks want and what the policy wonks propose by having the ship drop its anchor in the hope that the storms ahead will pass it by. That is unrealistic and unwise. In Mahbubani’s world, elitism and populism collide: In order to survive, humanity should submit to a supremely talented would-be twenty-first-century Jade Emperor who is recruited meritocratically. One can imagine the leader’s name being drawn from a list of the top-scoring graduates of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and other such schools that would be funded by the disencumbered budget of a defunct OECD. But how can such a top-down, selective, talent-driven process proceed and succeed by politically valorizing the massive “Rest” against the miniscule “West”? If the world is an imperiled ship in urgent need of elite-expert authority—a master navigator—is there really an 88 percent solution to its predicament that is meritocratic rather than populist? Feeding these doubts is Mahbubani’s own curious assertion that the Chinese Communist Party is “as meritocratic as Harvard University.”10 Unless I am mistaken, Harvard does not have a propaganda department charged with maintaining ideological purity, censoring speech, and punishing heresy in its classrooms—terms of reference and recruitment that hardly value individual ability, unless it be the ability to obey. Convergence is least tendentious and most constructive on the subject of UN Security Council reform. Mahbubani wants to enlarge its membership from 10 to 21. His “7-7-7” formula envisages 7 permanent members with the right of veto; 7 veto-less members elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms from a list of 28 “middle powers” of significant demographic and economic size; and 7 also veto-less members that the General Assembly would periodically choose from the pool of the 179 remaining states (pp. 240–46).11 The proposal is unrealistic, but at least it bridges the central polemical rift in Mahbubani’s world between “the West” and “the Rest”—though not entirely. While noting with good reason that “the main obstacle to UN reform lies in Washington,” he downplays the opposition of China (p. 243).12 Convergence or Confusion? In The Great Convergence, Mahbubani never explicitly or consistently defines the phenomenon that gives the book its title. Numerous allusions to it are made, of course, but readers are left wondering what [End Page 171] the author means. Are globalization and convergence synonymous? If convergence is teleological, what is its destination? Is the endpoint stationary or moving, and if it is moving, in which direction is it going? Are the “developing” and “developed” economies converging upward on the latter’s affluence, or are they meeting somewhere in the middle? Is the world moving toward transnational standards, political union, or common beliefs and behaviors—global governance, global government, or global culture? Is convergence shallow or deep—closer acquaintance or true integration? Is it driven by technological invention, environmental necessity, or conscious imitation? Or is convergence resulting simultaneously in some or all of these outcomes? On whose terms is convergence taking place? And for whose benefit? It is not even clear whether, in Mahbubani’s world, “the great convergence” is a process or an event, or how much of it has already taken place. His opening paragraph argues that “the massive forces unleashed by globalization are creating a new global civilization” that has already, if only “recently,” rendered irrelevant distinctions such as “‘North and South’ and ‘developed and developing’” (p. 1). Apparently some sort of threshold in the converging process has already been achieved. Yet the book’s final sentence conveys his faith in “the coming great convergence” as if it were a future event. Convergence is “irreversible.” It “will only gain momentum in the coming decades” (p. 247). Why? “Because Everything that Rises Must Converge”—the title of his concluding chapter and possibly a natural law in Mahbubani’s world. In earlier centuries, Orientalism at its worst belied the complex and nuanced diversities of Asia by, in effect, lobotomizing its peoples and imputing into their emptied skulls one single Asian “mind.” Extreme Occidentalism is Orientalist surgery in reverse. Thus Mahbubani can assert that “most Western minds—with their usual black and white mindset—cannot conceive of ‘good governance’ as an independent and desirable good.” In his own mind “it would be insane to deny that China has enjoyed ‘good governance.’ The reason why Western minds cannot state this obvious fact is that they believe that good governance without democracy is as inconceivable as a semi-pregnant woman.”13 In Mahbubani’s world, “The Western mind cannot conceive of the possibility that the ‘unfree’ people of China could possibly be happy. The Western mind has a rigid, one-dimensional, and ideological understanding of the term ‘freedom.’”14 Mahbubani seems unaware of the self-parody involved in attributing a “black and white mindset” to “most Western minds,” whose refusal to admire China’s governance proves them to be insane, in stark contrast to presumably non-Western—“Restern”?—minds that can at least recognize facts. He is entirely right to acknowledge, as he does, the massive improvement in the material welfare of China’s people that has taken place under its authoritarian regime since the 1970s. But in his writing, Convergence included, he has been far less willing to acknowledge the [End Page 172] historical fact of “bad governance” in China, whose Maoist regime was responsible for the deaths of an estimated forty-plus million of its own citizens between 1949 and 1975. Nor is bad governance in China merely archival. In 2010, China’s outdoor air pollution contributed to an estimated 1.2 million premature deaths.15 Yet in that same year, the Chinese government refused to release data that it continued to gather secretly on the deadliest particles, and even tried to stop the U.S. embassy in Beijing from collecting and posting the same information. Mahbubani might also wish to consider why, if only a deranged “Western mind” could deny that the Chinese people are happily enjoying good governance, in 2010 alone there were an estimated 180,000 protests, riots, and mass demonstrations in China. Prominent among the objects of unrest were official seizures of land without adequate consultation or compensation, endemic and widespread official corruption, and official complicity in or indifference toward lethal pollution—not to mention the official repression of Tibet that has driven more than a hundred ethnic Tibetans to burn themselves to death since 2009. What is the value of collapsing the complexities of global politics and transformative processes of material and technical change into a great contest—or, for that matter, a “great convergence”—between “the West” and “the Rest”? Or between the United States, which “cannot understand Asia,” and the “Asia” that it cannot understand? Keeping in mind the competition and cooperation that characterize relations between the United States and China, is Mahbubani’s thesis that “everything that rises must converge” more plausible and less fatuous than the antithetical contention that “everything that rises must conflict”? Does Aung San Suu Kyi deserve scorn for thanking “the West” for its support? Just how dispensable are human rights in Mahbubani’s world? Countries have mottoes. If Mahbubani’s world had one, it might be: “We have met the enemy, and they are them”—that is, “the West.” Perhaps his next book will be inspired instead by a variation on something that cartoonist Walt Kelly wrote many years ago—a critique more in keeping with the shared responsibility that globalization and convergence would seem to imply: “We have met the enemy, and they are us.”16 Mahbubani rightly asks “the West” to be introspective. He should take his own advice. 1. See mahbubani.net/book3.html#AdvancePraise for the comment by Summers. 2. Kishore Mahbubani, Can Asians Think?

I no longer write as prolifically as I once did. I started this blog in 2005 and the Yoga Blogosphere as changed tremendously in 10 years. Modern Yoga Bloggers have forgotten whom their elders are. What some bloggers write about now I wrote about 3, 5, even 7 years ago: ageism, diversity, “slow yoga.” “Slow Yoga” is a thing now (Google it) and I’ve been teaching slow since 2005 when I first came back from the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in India. The more things change, the more they stay the same. But sometimes things scream to be called out and discussed. A long time, old school yoga teacher told me that where she’s from a yoga studio requires newbie teachers to “brand” themselves before finishing a one month yoga teacher training, i.e., make a website, a Facebook page, social media presence, etc., etc. etc. Do the math. If a large city has 1000+ YTTs, old school teachers like her and I are doomed. BRANDING before teaching. BRANDING before experiencing. BRANDING before Living Your Yoga. When I did my first website it took me 6 months to write my yoga bio. Even after I studied in India the first time I thought that if I wrote too much about myself it would look like I was bragging. Some people say that social media is the new normal. But I believe in what Buckminster Fuller said: “In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.” Believe me, I try. But I’m tired. Damn tired. I believe in old school yoga teacher training, mentoring. But my mentoring page is the loneliest page on my website. I am not concerned with offering a standard 200 or 300 hour training because I believe in quality, not quantity. Unfortunately, that’s not good for business because people chase the piece of paper that proclaims them a certified yoga teacher. I can easily put together a 200 or 300 hour training based on 10 years of notes from the Mandiram alone. But frankly, no one is interested. Here. I believe it takes 10 years of yoga teaching to learn how to teach besides having a dedicated personal yoga and meditation practice. No one wants to hear that. Like in real estate, it’s about location, location, location. All I know is that in my area yoga teachers are a dime a dozen. With yoga studios cranking out new teachers every week, there is no place for Yoga Elders. I’m not whining, I’m just being realistic. So I’m leaving. Done, baby. I’m going somewhere where what I teach is valued and appreciated. One of my students gave me a testimonial: “Linda is Yoga. Living, breathing, in every aspect. Caring, supportive, knowledgeable, fun-loving, she walks the talk.” That’s why I’m leaving. Because I have too much passion for what I do if that makes any sense. Goddess willing, I’ll live in Kerala, India by the end of next year and into 2017. I’ve already started to look at houses to rent with space to teach. I’ve been asked to do teacher trainings in India. When I’m in India and I am asked what I do and I say “I’m a yoga teacher” people actually have respect for that. They ask me who my guru is instead of telling me, “I do Pilates.” No one asks me what style of yoga do I teach. I’m asked not to leave, to stay and teach, to help people. No one pillories me for using the phrase “real yoga.” Yeah, I said it. REAL YOGA. I’ve always said the real yoga kicks in during a health crisis or dealing with your own mortality. My yoga sadhana helped me through an ovarian cancer scare years ago. It made me realize that “I am not this body” and it brought me peace. When my time comes I’ll be chanting and doing pranayama, Goddess willing. Thanks to my friend Cora Wen for making this beautiful video. But what Cora talks about in her video, you can’t brand it. You can’t Instagram it, You can’t trademark it. Much has been written in this blog and others about the material things of Yoga. Look over the last 10 years of Yoga Journal (or any other recent yoga magazine) to see how many ads there are to get yoga dudettes and dudes (although mostly the dudettes) to buy/consume things that we are supposed to let go of. That is, all the accoutrements of yoga such as $100 pants, detox and cleansing rituals, $200 malas to help you get deeper into meditation (as if the Rs 50 ones I get in India don’t work), and Swarovski crystal chakra necklaces to help you balance your chakras. Since I’ve been writing this blog for the last 10 years, it amuses me to no end on how the more things change, the more they stay the same. Same yoga shit, different day. I wrote on the commercialization of yoga a good 7 years ago at least. So when a new reader who has recently discovered this blog wrote me, I had to smile. YES! This old blog is still appreciated and that does this Krazy Old Yogini’s heart good. The new reader nailed it: YOGA AS COMMODITY. I remember the words of a long ago student who believed that the way yoga is taught in the West serves to reinforce negative patterns (of speed, busy-ness, mindLESSness) instead of creating new ones (slowing down, stillness, mindFULLness.) The addictions are fed, not lessened. “It’s funny because I came to the practice in order to alleviate hardcore issues with insomnia which I eventually learned was hardcore anxiety. Then, like so many, I became obsessed with the superficial and physical aspects of yoga and thought the mental part was only meditation. In the US it seems we define yoga as just the physical practice and how it can be “used” (weight loss, “enlightenment”, calming, better sex.) Sigh.I wanted to be a yoga expert and I read all of the literature and bought all of the clothes and took all the types of classes and it wasn’t until a life event smacked me right in the face that I realized – all I need to do is practice. And through practice I have shed so much that was so unnecessary, both material things and ideas or feelings that I was attached to. There are many vessels through which people learn this lesson but for me it was Ashtanga that taught me. The heavy emphasis on practice made me show up consistently and didn’t let me analyze the practice. In practice nothing matters but whether or not you showed up and did what you can do. Through that I feel the real journey has begun for me and things are starting to unravel both beautifully and painfully at times (emotionally, not physically.) I devoured the Babarazzi’s blog because it was another smack in the face that made me realize – why do I buy Lululemon, why do I want to do cool backbends, why is my subscription to Yoga Journal so important to me? Because it’s been shoved in my face and I have been told that it’s necessary. I’ve since realized that these things actually have nothing to do with yoga. It’s very refreshing. I’m sad to hear that you do not continue to create new posts, but I have subscribed anyway. I appreciate your honest take on the subject and wish there were bloggers doing what you’re doing. There’s so much Yoga Journal and elephant journal and we don’t even realize how toxic they are!” I stated writing this blog BYS — Before Yoga Selfies. Now there are yoga dudettes almost killing themselves on electrified rail tracks for likes on Facebook and retweets on Twitter. “The stream of wishy washy spirituality and body-insane yoga culture streams into my world every single day. I catch myself, sometimes, and wonder how with a shred of honesty I can associate myself with this stuff; how do I teach when most teaching is such a sham? How do I ask people to connect with their own flesh when ‘flesh’ is a loaded word? I pause, often, when I’m writing and when I’m standing in front of a class; the words I most want to say are so bloody, so honest, so scary I’m not sure I should.” I used to be a prolific yoga blogger. I used to be a well-known yoga blogger, once called a fierce voice in the yoga blogosphere, and was even quoted in the New York Times during the Tara Stiles controversy. But everything has its expiration date. I got tired. I got tired of writing about Yoga in OMerika because I thought, “what else can I write about?” I read this excellent piece today and it addresses issues that I wrote about years ago. Bottom line, same shit, different day. Not much has changed since I started writing this blog in 2005, almost 10 years ago. The funny thing is, you know how each generation thinks they’re original, like they’re the first ones to come up with an idea? Kinda sorta how I feel when I read a yoga blog nowadays, like, been there, done that, you young whipper-snapper, ’cause back in my day…. It has also appeared for quite some time that the yoga blogosphere has become a tad cliquey, all rah rah, kiss kiss, pat each other on the back. OK, a lot cliquey. When I first started this blog the yoga blogosphere was a bit more outlaw-ish, the voices were of different tones, not so scholarly. Not that there is anything wrong with scholarly (hey, I went to grad school), but I remember being called “anti-intellectual” by a well-known yoga blogger because I dared to question the overanalysis and didacticism. I knew I was no longer in the top echelon of yoga bloggers (my tongue is firmly in cheek) when this post only received 5 comments where in the past I know it would have generated many more. One has to be one of the Kool Kids now, someone who is Someone to continue to get your blog posts Facebooked, tweeted, or interviewed or asked to review books. You know what Groucho Marx said about being a member of a club. Another photo of the latest celeb du jour walking into a yoga studio? Really? Over the past year I have had some major epiphanies that rocked my energy body. Last March I dealt with two very problematic people on my yoga retreat in India who I realized later were my teachers. Of course I did not realize it at the time because then I only wanted to kick their ungrateful asses into the Arabian Sea, but they taught me much about how to deal with people of their types so I thank them. They were a lesson in how everyone can be your teacher and the more difficult ones more so. I dealt with betrayal. Lots and lots of meditation helped me with that one. I am here to tell you that if someone fucks with you, just sit and meditate daily on their sorry ass until the vision of them no longer brings up feelings of attachment or aversion, until you can see them and feel neutrality. It works and it’s wonderful. Very freeing. I learned to finally love myself completely. Not a bad lesson to learn as I enter my 6th decade of this incarnation. I dealt with trust issues I have with women and also (again) in my local yoga world. The resolution to that is that I am damn fine with being alone and a loner. Well, I was already, but I truly came into my own in 2013. Probably because I finally owned what I do. I’ve been teaching since 2002 and it took me all this time to realize that yes, I AM a damn good teacher, I am unique in what I do and fuck outside validation, I don’t need it. My yoga is outside the box and I own the fact that what I offer is not found elsewhere. I have studied with direct students of Krishnamacharya both here and in India and am damn proud of that. Never mistake my confidence for arrogance. Yes I do say I teach Real Yoga and don’t care if someone takes offense. Mine is a bold statement and people like J.Brown who puts it out there when he says that he “seeks to change the dialog and direction of yoga practice in the west” inspire me. You bet your asana I do the same in my little corner of the yoga world, one body at a time (“…you taught me more about Yoga in five minutes than anyone I’ve ever met in a yoga class, teacher or otherwise,” said a satisfied Yoga customer.) I also finally came into my own as an energy worker. That was a huge energetic shift for me in 2013, so much so the shift was also physical. It is no coincidence that I learned I am part Native American (more on that below) in the same year I decided to make known the energy healing work I have practiced for over 10 years — because my work is akin to that of a Medicine Woman. Energy healing is a deep, spiritual practice for me. It feels natural. I finally own that I am a facilitator of profound change. I am happy to reside in my little yoga cave of my home studio with only two or three students in class. If all my students suddenly disappeared, I am fine with that. Bottom line, if I never taught another class in my life, I’m good. The thought of never teaching again for whatever reason used to freak me out. “Yoga teacher” used to be my identity but no longer. I have peeled my onion layers down to the core. Yoga is life, but Life is more than Yoga. DING DING DING! EPIPHANY TIME. I am not This or That because I am so much more. The biggest revelation of 2013 came to me in the form of genetic testing and discovering my true ancestry. I grew up believing I was 50/50 German-Polish, but I also always intuited that I wasn’t. I am part Native American, enough that I can self-identify as a Native American; unfortunately, a genetic test can not determine tribe. Either I was the product of an affair or my sister was really my mother. My nephew who is only 7 years younger is probably my half-brother. How would you handle that if you found out in your late 50s that you were lied to about your heritage and parentage? As for handling things, after planning my 8th trip to India (departure in 9 days) for yoga study, my yoga therapy course was cancelled just last week. This affected my entire trip because my trips are a tax write-off — no yoga study, no tax write-off. Plans I had made almost a year ago and reservations on planes and trains all had to be changed when I got the news. I cancelled the last 7 weeks of my trip and I would have cancelled the entire trip but I would have lost too much money in airfare and other fees so my trip changed in one day from almost 3 months to one month. Dharma 101: How Life Changes in a Second. The day I received the news of the course cancellation I was more than a little freaked but by evening I was at peace. A deep peace and I was surprised at how deep that peace was — because YOGA ISN’T REAL YOGA UNLESS IT HELPS YOU DEAL WITH HOW LIFE CAN CHANGE IN A SECOND. Knowing how I love India (in reality it’s a love-hate relationship), my friends thought I’d be more upset than I was about cutting my trip by more than half. Nope, not really. Because that’s where the yoga rubber hits the road. What good is your yoga if you can’t deal effectively with life’s major and minor ups and downs? As for Ma India Herself, if this upcoming trip is my last I am good with that. Finally. Because in the past the thought of never returning to India created such angst I would shake. Even cry. India is in my bones and always will be and each time I am there I know I am Home. I know I will die there but just like Yoga Teacher became a piece of my identity, so did India. DING DING DING! EPIPHANY TIME. I am not This or That because I am so much more. Real Yoga sure as hell ain’t about the asana but I already knew that. 108 Sun Salutations or a sick arm balance would not have helped me when I learned that the woman I thought was my mother was probably really my grandmother. Or maybe my sister is really my mother. I will never know. Made up yoga, as A. G. Mohan calls what passes for yoga nowadays, could never help me with that. Yeah, you heard me. I’m back. But on a very limited basis. Since I stopped writing in February I can’t tell you how many readers left comments on Facebook or wrote to me asking me to start writing again — or to write for their online yoga mags. It seriously overwhelmed me. Goddess bless you all! We’ll see how it goes, but I’m no longer into the blah blah blah of the modern yoga scene. It bores me. The ayurveda teacher in my last training at the Mandiram said that a yogi is one whose prana is contained and doesn’t let it leak out with unnecessary blah blah blah (among other things.) Hence, “shut up and do your practice.” So no more snaps of my tats. Hey, I SAID TATS! Others can write about the usual yoga suspects. Like Lululemon pants, how yoga makes you sexy, or a celebrity doing yoga on the beach. Whatever. I remember what Kausthub Desikachar told us: if we do not teach others what we have learned we are nothing more than thieves. I want to acknowledge the two yogini bloggers who awarded me the MeMe Award. I am in good company with all of these blog award winners! Thanks to girlwarrior of it’s all yoga, baby who said that I am “sassy, opinionated and sincere in her practice”, and thanks to Brooks at Yoga, the Mind and Culture who said “she’s really doing her yoga, and shares inspiration and road bumps along the way.” Thank you, thank you, thank you! I especially want to thank the yoga bloggers who supported me during the Troll Event — you know who you are! I’m not really into rules but the rules to this award are that I should (1) share 7 tidbits about myself and (2) share this MeMe Blog Award with 7 blogger friends. As for those tidbits about me, I think if you read LYJ from the beginning you will certainly glean more than 7 tidbits about me (!!), but here goes: 2. I’ve been green since the first Earth Day in 1970, many years before being green became the thing to do. I helped organize my high school’s Earth Day celebration and I ordered the Earth Day flag decals (they were cool!). I’ve never seen decals like that again. 3. I am also a garden designer. My business is Loba Landscapes…Gardens With a Touch of the Wild. My niche is native plants in the home landscape and eco-gardening. Yes, that’s my backyard. 4. I was in a riot in 1970. Sly and the Family Stone were supposed to play a concert in Grant Park in Chicago and in those days Sly was known to show up late or not at all for concerts. People got upset and a riot broke out. I ran from the police just as they started to tear gas us. Ah….those were the days…the smell of tear gas and major doobage in the air, flowers in our hair…. I still loves me some Sly! I am sure 1970 must sound like the olden days to many of you but throw the peace sign up, it will do you no harm! 5. I was named one of Illinois’ best high school poets when I was a junior. 6. Besides being an activist for the environment, I’ve always been an activist for women’s issues. I know some of you don’t remember the days before Roe v. Wade, but at that time when I was in junior college abortions were legal in New York City. As a member of a women’s liberation group at that time, I helped a few women get to New York City. Brenda left a comment on my Facebook page that maybe the Commenter Who Shall Remain Nameless is using reverse psychology to keep me on the air, to get me mad enough to keep me around. Since my last post, the contributor in question to the Sadhana Bliss Chicago blog has made their Blogger profile unavailable and has changed their name to “fooled you” as if that in some way absolves him or her. You can form your own opinion about that. I am shocked (in a good way) but heartened that two bloggers took up my cause, so to speak. Brooks wrote in her blog Yoga, the Mind and Culture: “What provoked me to write about this is a comment she received about her announcement. It starts out like this: “would that you could go quietly into the night, but that would be too much for you to manage, wouldn’t it? at least you’re GOING.” I am so saddened and shocked by this comment. Using a metaphor for dying quietly is just so hurtful and wrong to receive…” …and AnthroYogini in Australia who went on to comment that it’s “cyberbullying by adults who should know better. I’m sick of people hiding behind their ISPs and typing nasty shit they’d never have the balls to say to your face.” A blog troll is a troll is a troll so let’s not feed the trolls. They always come back to see what kind of a rise they got out of of the blogger. They lurk around, always reading the same post or comments to that post. And you know they keep coming around because you can tell by your site meter (and you also know where they live.) In actuality I probably should not have published the comment or written about it because doing that is exactly what the troll wants, but I felt that enough was enough, it was time to bring that type of activity out into daylight especially because it was in the yoga blogosphere. Both I and this blog are acquired tastes so if you don’t like my style or my voice, don’t read. Simple. But for those of you who do like the spice, I will continue my “cathartic musings and occasional rants about my trips to India to study my heart’s passion, and my sweet adventures along the yoga path” albeit not as frequently. Only when the muse calls. I am concentrating on my upcoming trip to India and Africa. Since I don’t want the last post for a long time to end on a sour note, I leave you with some good notes from one of my favorite musicians (and true yogi) Alice Coltrane. Enjoy. I returned yesterday from my Level 2 Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy training in Vermont to find out that there was a glaring omission in Yoga Journal’s story about yoga blogs — me. And how did I find out that Yoga Journal neglected me? From my brother from a different mother, YogaDawg. So just like a good brother he came to my rescue by mentioning me in his blog post about being anointed by Yoga Journal. He said that he “couldn’t let it go without giving you a plug at the end of my blog post”, reminding people that I continue to “kick yoga’s ass.” Thanks, bro! Let’s see who else thinks that Yoga Journal should have put me on their A list of yoga blogs…Dr. Jay over at Yoga for Cynics who said “I think you should’ve been in the YJ blog list, too” and Yoga Dork who thinks that Yoga Journal should have also included “Linda’s Yoga Journey, Everything Yoga, Yoga Nation, Svasti and It’s All Yoga, Baby.” I feel like Kathy Griffin. Kathy is a loud-mouthed, snarky broad from Chicago (what is it about Chicago women?) whose show My Life on the D List is hilarious (at least I think so.) The show follows her struggle as a self-proclaimed “D-list” celebrity to climb the Hollywood ladder. Hey, wait a minute. This blog is about the same thing, only in a different world. This blog is about my journey up (and down) the yoga ladder and like Kathy, I’m also unplugged, uncensored, and unafraid to dish the dirt about what really happens on the yoga road. So how can Yoga Journal ignore me? Yogini writers (real writers who actually get paid to write!) like Anne Cushman and Lucy Edge could not have been wrong when they wrote their kudos about LYJ. Over 30,000 global readers can’t be wrong. What’s a yogini blogger to do? I’m just so vaklempt that YJ writer Lauren Ladoceour did not think LYJ worthy enough to be listed on her yoga blog A List, especially not worthy enough to be called snarky and satirical! After four years and 300+ cathartic and snarky posts? Moi?!? So just like Kathy Griffin who enlisted her mother, her assistants, and her Mexican housekeeper to call musicians to ask them to vote for her Grammy nominated comedy album (I know I am dating myself by calling it an “album”), I am asking all my lovely and faithful readers from all over the world to email Yoga Journal at email@example.com to tell them how you feel about their glaring omission. In no uncertain terms. Let your throat chakra open up and speak your truth. Pretend that you’re calling Simon Cowell and voting for the next American Yoga Idol. Over 30,000 readers have passed through here so let’s see if Yoga Journal’s computers can handle all the emails! Yeah! Knock ’em on their asana! Listen, Yoga Journal, who needs your stupid list anyway? I will hold my head high and proudly channel Groucho Marx who said: “I would not join any club that would have someone like me for a member.” So there. Besides…. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE YOGA BLOGS WHO MADE THE LIST….SERIOUSLY. MY A-LIST OF BLOGS, YOGA AND OTHERWISE, ARE IN MY BLOGROLL, SO VISIT THEM. Kevin is a long-time reader and has always been very supportive of my cathartic rants and musings about yoga. As what sometimes happens in the online world, we struck up an email correspondence about all things yoga. In fact, Kevin and his wife Erin had also planned to visit the ashram in South India where I was originally scheduled to spend two months but life gets in the way and they had to change their plans — so Kevin generously donated their deposit for my stay. I was overwhelmed by his gesture considering that we have never met. I will say again that I am always amazed at the support I’ve received in the global yoga community through this blog compared to my local “yoga community.” And those of you who have read about my misadventures with local studio owners know what I’m talking about. Kevin and Erin have relocated to Mexico and have started blogging — Kevin and Erin in Mexico. So I was again overwhelmed to read Kevin’s latest post: “How could I mention India without mentioning…..? That “yoga and meditation” (if one has the hard-to-come-by understanding of what yoga actually is, pre-spandex and pre-group class zombie world) is a redundant phrase – and that if you want to learn why that is so, and so much else about yoga, meditation, life, music, great writing, wicked humor and what it means to really love India you must check out this blog: I find Linda’s depth and breadth of experience, writing chops and fearlessness very inspiring, and have learned (and continue to learn) so much about all of the above topics from her. Her blog is beautiful in so many ways, and a portal to a vast array of positive things going on in the world. Check it out.” Wow, wow, wow. I am not only blessed but also humbled. Out of everything that he said, I am most touched that Kevin thinks I’m fearless, more so than being considered a good writer. I want to take this time to thank Kevin and Erin and ALL my long-time readers — and I know who my regular readers are even if you never comment — for putting up with these “cathartic musings and occasional rants about my trips to India to study my heart’s passion, and my sweet adventures along the yoga path.” I also want to thank all of the yoga bloggers who have put this blog on your blogrolls. I can tell from my site meter how people find me and I am amazed at how many blogs I’m linked to so mucho thanks for the link love! May you all know happiness and the causes of happiness. May you all be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. May you all never be parted from freedom’s true joy. May you all dwell in equanimity, free from attachment and aversion. I’ve been writing this blog since 2005. Blogging is the new journaling and I started this blog as a way of recording my thoughts, first, about my initial trip to India in 2005 — and at that time I never expected to be planning my fourth trip to India at the end of this year — and second, as a means of chronicling my own personal yoga journey. As the Grateful Dead sang, what a long, strange trip it’s been. The blogosphere, and indeed the internet itself, is still a strange place to me — you make “friends” whom you never expect to meet, but if you really meet them, it’s a beautiful thing. I used to be a moderator of an India travel website, through which the Universe has granted me two dear friends who I love to death — one is a woman in Chennai who calls me her older sister, akka in Tamil, and another woman in California with whom I will travel to the Kumbh Mela next year. A faithful reader who I have never met but consider a yoga friend has paid for my deposit at the ashram where I will study yoga therapy next year. Another reader has thrown it out into the Universe that maybe I should come teach at his holistic center in Taiwan that he is planning for some time in the future. If it happens, it happens, I am not attached. It’s all good, that’s the wonder of this thing we call the blogosphere. And it always amazes how many people read this yoga blog. I post something and I can see on my sitemeter who logs on almost immediately to read my words, always the same cities. Y’all must not be too busy at work, so stop lurking and leave some comments! I also want to thank all the readers who have left comments of support regarding the trials and tribulations I’ve had with the yoga studios where I’ve taught in the past two years. I received more support from people in the global yoga community who don’t know me and will probably never meet me than from yoga peeps in my yoga world. Astounding. I’ve received my share of blog awards from people who I consider my blog buddies. I’ve just received another one from Fernanda Lima who writes her blog All of Om or Tudo de Om from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Call me a simpleton, but I’m impressed that someone from Brazil loves my blog. A 17 year old girl from Uganda loves my other blog. It just amazes me. Fernanda writes about India, yoga, ayurveda, and all things in between. Who knows? Maybe we’ll meet one day, either in Brazil or India. It’s obvious from her blog that Fernanda loves India as much as I do. How about it, Fernanda, mi hermana? Sorry, I know Spanish, not Portugues! Muchas gracias, Fernanda! And then there are the phrases that people google and end up on this blog. According to my site meter, the most searched for phrases are: St. Theresa’s Prayer and anything having to do with “hot yoga chicks”, “naked yoga”, “hot yoga babes”, “skinny yoga chicks”, etc. etc. etc. But it’s all good. And I’m glad you like what you read. I’m giving the Fabulous Blog award to non-yoga blogs: I have decided to stop blogging for the time being, at least for the summer. I will not say when I will pick up the pen again. I took almost all of 2006 off from blogging, and I think it’s time for a break. I will keep the comments enabled only for a week, then shutting them down. I want to concentrate of getting healthy again….not that anything is seriously wrong with me, but I’m sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I also want to concentrate on my own personal yoga practice (a yoga therapy practice) and for me that means cutting out extracurricular stuff that keeps my mind off my own practice. it’s gotten to the point where I’ll be taking a shower and a blog post will pop into my head or I’ll think about how to tweak a sentence or two, and before I know it, I’ve been sitting in front of the computer for three or four hours writing and tweaking. can’t do that anymore. besides, the weather is getting too nice to be sitting inside for any length of time. so I am doing what the Buddha taught: giving up an attachment — blogging. I have made many cyberfriends in the blogosphere — you know who you are and I will still read your blogs when I check my emails. but I won’t be attached to them. who knows? if the mood strikes me I may sit down and write another yoga rant, but for right now, it’s all about me and my yoga and getting healthy again — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. thank you all for reading this blog and for all your beautiful comments…remember to breathe peace, be peace. may all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness may all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering may all beings never be parted from freedom’s true joy may all beings dwell in equanimity, free from attachment and aversion

[–]MolochDota 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children) Not a lot, but 1 to 2 Mh/s, in my experience Samsung runs without errors at 2000 MHz, and Hynix a little over 1800 MHz My bad, I thought it was rx 580. 570 and 470 have 32 CU. So max a little bit over 14 Mh/s . [–]MolochDota 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago* (0 children) You can get 12-14 Mh/s, since it have 32 CU, but depends on the memory (samsung, hynix, micron). New to RVN mining ! Already love this coin by Kaoulombre in Ravencoin [–]MolochDota 2 points3 points4 points 1 day ago (0 children) Small pools don't find a lot of blocks, each block gives 5000 RVN which is divided in the total shares since last block (or since N shares in other pools). DFM found a block 3 days ago. In the long run is the same, you can have good days/weeks and bad ones. So, with your low hashrate I think you should use a pool with low difficulty, because it will look idle if you use lets say 2miners with diff. 1 (4 GB).

Ordering gift for Chilean friend by dcw15 in chile [–]MolochDota 0 points1 point2 points 2 days ago (0 children) Wine is pretty cheap in Chile, for weddings, people make wishlist in falabella (store) and friends buy whatever is left available, you can also buy giftcard in that store.

Dear Fellow Humans Scroll Down for info on the NEW SBAY Training 2021 : Meditation/ Transmission Series : Womens Circles : SBAY Alumni Academy We finished the SBAY 2020 Year Long Training in September; 13 women strong, and it was glorious to get to behold. I mean, i was there, and teaching, but the magic was beyond my wildest dreams; the teachings and medicine we got to receive, the transformation and healing and empowerment that took place, the courage and beauty of each unique participant gifting us all beyond measure with their authentic sharing. Such a gift. Especially now. The soaring of the human spirit is truly magnificent. And what a year we've had so far eh? Intense times... all at once; perhaps, confusing, scary, enraging, sad, overwhelming, tenderising, awakening, humbling, and ultimately enlightening, empowering, and yes, even celebratory, joyful, orgasmic, beauty-filled... and all the rest of the full spectrum of human emotion and experience.. As the energy of nature turns inward, and the days presents us with spectacular air, colours and light, an invitation to slow down, this now time, this year, is a time of learning to navigate by, honour and trust ones own inner light, and a time for truly choosing connection and staying in unwavering connection with our Self, so that we consciously only give energy to what we are wanting to permission and create. We ARE spirit, the veil is no more. This here, this choice, is your Soul Power at work. Want to learn more, how to use it?? Because it's not taught in school and certainly not promoted today as an approved way of living. Perhaps billions of of years in the making, of dreaming, of praying, of holding the vision, of staying true to one's inner Nature of Connection; The hold of the patterns of the Matrix; of human slavery, war, violence, oppression, fear, dominance, etc, all the hidden conditioning and contracts that's created and fuelled immense suffering for millennia on the planet, is now obsolete, lost it's power. It's no longer in operation, as a power. That's why we're seeeing it all come to the surface now, the ugly underbelly of modern 'civilization', entirely based on colonialisation and domination. No not you personally, our culture and society... It's as easy as each of us choosing what empowers OURSELVES, so our energy can move powerfully in our mind-body system. That empowers and permissions life and spirit in the WHOLE. The patterns of us / them, right / wrong, for / against etc, and their perceived payoffs, have ceased, and lost their rule over the human spirit and the living souls of this planet. YOU - WE are free human beings - meaning, basically, that there is no need to be for or against anything; This way of being is simply HABIT, one that you can change in a breath! It is a simple matter of KNOWING WHO YOU ARE; of Connecting fully to your own Centre - to Self, and create, participate and generate from there. All, and i mean ALL of the beliefs and choices you have and make and continue to choose as a basis for the creation of the future, are entirely up to you. 1000% Self-Responsibility. So much power we each are. How are you using what's available to you? The SBAY work, in mind - the meditation series, and in body-mind-spirit, the Year Long Training (SWOOON) are both a process of consciously choosing to pull energy out of old mind-body conditioning and programs, in other words, what keeps energy moving in familiar circuits, like neuropathways, and placing it, this, your life-creating energy, in this now moment to empower you here now, using the breath and key stances and body practices. Old holding and wounds heal along the way, as part of this natural process of becoming YourSelf. OH humans, this can feel like a bit of a big ask, that awful person who really doesn't GET IT, all those stupid people, over there, and over there, doing and being what THEY think is right.... Well, are you giving your energy to that? Up until now, most humans have been reaction machines...now, many humans are being faced with the direct consequences OF THEIR OWN CHOICES, conscious and unconscious. Which is great because how do you change something that you can't see?? In the teachings it is often said, you are not a robot, in other words, you are not a reaction machine, but have actual agency in every moment to make a powerful choice that is in alignment with your inner truth and wisdom.. and also, it is said, that you are not a child (presumably, if you're reading this) meaning; the survival and defence strategies that our persona developed when we were children, and the behaviours and reactions that served us when we didn't have any other resources, are not necessarily useful in this now adult body-mind... when you actually can choose to be here, to be present, and to communicate and choose without fear of annihilation. It may be scary to come through old conditioning; that's why i have the year long training, and other offerings, to help you move into connection with your Self, here, now; in the empowered moment of creation, where there is nothing to fear, and all to love and appreciate and create a world of beauty and wonder and love. There are some ways, some principles, according to which energy needs to move in the body in order for there to be balance harmony, vitality, and optimal mental & physical health. These principles are not willy nilly philosophies, or made up arbitrary preferences or ideologies. These principles are how the body works; how our biology, physiology and thus psychology functions. There are interconnected neuro pathways of energy exchange and communication, and glandular chemical excretions that determine how our physiology functions; when these are not working; there is any amount of physical and mental health issues. This training teaches these principles / laws of nature, or Life. I will point out that there are many out there, at this time, and i will very gently suggest that MOST humans at this time are still only beginning to even become aware of the actual psychological trauma that the ordeal of this year has meant. Most people cannot even see a small percentage of the damage, the disconnection, the adrenal response, the internal mind-body wiring that is in full survival throttle to this day... isolation and fear have a devastating effect on the human psyche and spirit, but if you stay hooked up, wired to a new circuit pattern of distraction or narrative or story, that distracts from the true felt intelligence and knowing within, you're getting more and depleted by the day.. Needless to say, it's not helping anyones natural bodily immunity, which, i must also point out, as i have in the past, that having a feever, a caough, a snotty nose... is the body's actual immune system WORKING PERFECTLY; it's HOW the body expels non-desirables. That's what you WANT to happen. And we all know by now that breathing oxygen is good, and to make sure you have good levels of vitamin D with K2, vit C and of course zinc in your diet, via supplements, or, meat of course has loads of zinc and fat soluble vitamins A and D, and also heme iron. And also fuel for the liver so it can do a really good detox job, and aid the production of sufficient amounts of hydrochloric acid with kills pathogens so you don't need to worry about candida and other too friendly friends. So awesome. Support Irish farmers <3 SO ; FINALLY, IT'S HERE !! Here's what they say: I did the SBA course with Veronica in 2019/2020, and it is a game changer in my life. There is nothing like this course. Yes, I got from this course a better understanding of the body and the energies within the bodies and the mind body system. But the absolute amazing part is the chance given by Veronica to experience it. And this is a game changer in life. This has changed how I view my relationship with my body, how I interact with people around me. This course grounded me and through the work I gain in clarity in my mind. I connected with myself. It is a spiritual journey. Veronica is an amazing guide. I would highly recommend anyone to do this course. - C.P Having practiced yoga for more than 20 years I met Veronica at my Advanced Teacher Training course 3 years ago and decided to pursue any opportunity I found to study with her again. That chance came up with the SBAY course in Ballisodare. As I crossed the country every month I crossed back into a world where we connected with community, with the earth and with the ancients. We cleaned and polished our ancestral lines, we excavated our traumas and healed our wounds, we cried, we danced, we roared and, through Veronica’s teaching, pushed open doors and cleared pathways that til then had been blocked.... Over the course my meditations have opened up to new depths. My teaching is more real and more embodied than ever and my students are really enjoying our new subtler, but I believe more profound, approach. The doors that have opened haven’t necessarily been connected to the ancient Indian practice of yoga as it is generally perceived in the West. I feel more connected to nature and to my ancestors. I also feel more connected to the nature of my fellow humans. I am more sympathetic to all our struggles, including my own and those of family members. I would highly recommend SBAY training for any seeker out there. For me and my family it has been absolutely worth the investment. - Órla Hyland *** NEW SBAY TRAINING - FOUNDATION YEAR - 2021 *** Sovereign Body Anatomy & Energy Medicine 11 online or in person modules - depending Sovereign Human Blueprint Transmission Lecture Series Personal Evolution Creative Project This training & these teachings encompass and invite you on a journey of the entirety of the human mind-body-spirit experience of reality.

We love welcoming you here! 31st Oct, 15th Nov, 28th Nov & 12th Dec Booking & Details Extra Sharing and some good relevant links below I'm going through the (e) motions as much as everyone, and am very lucky to be connected with people that know, value and choose connection and creation as real humans. I have space to hug, to love, to laugh and to cry, to roar, to dance, to sing, to be in community, and to be fully received in my aliveness and humanness. In my compassion, rage, grief, and beauty, over what is being lost and dehumanized, and elation, joy and wonder at what is being given, chosen and created. It is simply not, never was, an option to stop living. Just as our ancestors, and indigenous peoples, had circles and ceremonies that celebrated and allowed for the full human experience of all its members, that they could live in the embodied remembrance of who they are, their shared humanity and connection to Nature, that kept them strong and healthy, so we need human connection in community. The immune-system is a Root Chakra function; without community our health declines rapidly. Without a full heart, a belly full of laughter, and feet and hips that stomp the earth and dance, who are we really? It is widely recognized that the number one cause of longevity is an active social life and a sense of community. If whatever you're doing has you feeling depressed, anxious, lonely, sick, a lack of energy, hope, vitality, you're in luck because it's all about to change and You're the one who's going to change it. First of all, give yourself full permission to REVEL in everything you're trying to push away. Pretending works for no-one. Then, not having to spend energy trying not to feel what your feeling.. When you realise, remember and choose the fact that you are a sovereign human being with access to an absolute abundance of energy and that in connection with that you can choose and create a reality that is in alignment with Your Soul and Natural Law, as it's all of our birthright. You and Only You can choose. No one is coming to save the day. Being a robot is not working as noted by current global mental and physical health, and neither is being a child, and attempting to use all the unconscious strategies to get what we want and stroke our egos that hide both our pain and our power. Shaming and blaming, self or others, is not a game worthy of your soul. Rise above it! Truth never shames, blames, belittles or humiliates or fear-mongers. I love what the team behind the movie THRIVE II calls the non-aggression principle, which in the simplest terms state that no-one should be forced to do anything against their own will. Every human can pretty much agree on this? What do you think? Do you want to be forced to do something against your will? In order for our Spirit to thrive, we need to honor its expression and movement and truth. I SUPER HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING THIS MOVIE: It's a long one, 2hrs and 20 mins.

I very much look forward to being with you in your body-mind remembrance and emergence of your human capacity, as the workings of your physiology align with those. I have full faith in the intelligence that brought you into being to making itself known to you in ways you've never even imagined before. TOGETHER WE RISE THANK YOU FOR READING and FOR BEING and for HONOURING your Nature. I wish you great remembrance of your essence, your Spirit, in going forward that we may indeed prevail in our own true image, essence and actualisation for all of Humanity and Nature at this time Blessings Blessings Blessings - to ALL who are suffering at this time. To the ones who are fearing for their lives for lack of shelter and for lack of proper nutrition to feed their children, bodies and minds. To those locked inside their own homes as prisoners. To those facing immediate poisoning of body and mind through 'medicine' and radio frequencies. To those who's mental health has deteriorated in the last few months due to fear and lack of human contact. ALL MY LOVE, Veronica Sisters & Brothers of Flesh & Blood, Breath & Pulse Sharing the newsletter published 26th of May 2020 Long Post, about NOW. Super long email with much helpful teaching for now... make that cuppa and enjoy!! YOU - How Are You? I'll say this much; if you're confused, no energy, sad, angry, frustrated, apathetic, relaxed, happy, in love, that's perfectly human. For this is NOT normal, what is happening now: There is nothing normal about this and you know it. We are not living in accordance to natural law; we are not together. We are apart. And no amount of neurolinguistic programming can erase the knowing living intelligence in your gut, in your heart and in your bones. As much as the fight / flight / freeze stunned part of our psyche will want to pretzel itself into a safe little bubble. Nature is alive and the Nature of Nature is Movement, Flow, Expansion, Celebration, Dance, Song, Community... Our ancestors danced barefoot in ecstasy around the fire on the living soil, in connection, in celebration of their aliveness and in gratitude to Life Itself. In receivership of this life that we get given. If you have a brain, a heartbeat, a pulse, and a living Spirit you will know in your bones that living like a robot, or zombie, can never be fulfilling. There IS NO feeding the hungry ghost of addiction that arises from disconnection from who we are. No amount of attempting to control our Nature works. Nature, our Nature, is alive. And it needs to flow and move, like the rivers in our veins, like the ebb and flow of our breath... I have no desire to snack, ever. I have no desire not be in feeling connection with myself. I absolutely LOVE being in my body and feeling my own soul alive. And being in full present communion with the elements of surrounding nature. Every astrologer worth their salt in various traditions have said the same thing about now; CRAAAAYYYYYYYZZEEEEEE, unprecedented, like we’ve never seen before, the dark underbelly of everything being brought to the surface; personal, political, social, ecological and economic systems coming up for re-consideration for all of humanity... Sounds about right? The good news, this too will pass, like everything. In about 2 years, or so, say the astrologers?? Seatbelts on. Or rather, breathing, meditation and connection, so you can shed safely. Learn how your own biology, your body, already holds the secrets of this universe, and how to have them inform your living.. The good news? How it turns out, for each of us, in what some call a monumental story of human awakening, should you choose that perspective, IS your choice, we each ARE that powerful on one level; it's quite possibly up to each one of us, now. Life is GIVEN, and when our soul is done, we leave. This is the REAL mystical, spiritual teachings 101. We ARE the ones we've been waiting for. I know, it sounds so cool as a quote on a photo of an indigenous american, but now that we're in the mess ourselves?!?! Yup. This year, so far, world wide, approximately the same amount as most other years have left the planet, in total. It is very sad when our loved ones, regardless of age, leave this plane of existence. And, as we know, it is one thing that's guaranteed for every one of us. The cycles of life, the cycles of Nature; birth, life, death, rebirth... And so the seasons of our lives go. I didn't design the rules of life, but i bow down to them, for i recognize that nature takes her cause for a reason. She has a way of maintaining balance and homeostasis, in ecosystems, and in our human bodies. Its an in-built function. Not man-made. Now that's cool. And oh so smart. So smart, it knows how to create human beings. Think about that. Human beings GROW from a single cell in the womb, into an actual body, into an actual person.. i mean.. I'm now coming to an age where i realize that i don't have forever in this body. In this beautiful faithful amazing intelligent biology that somehow allows 'me' to feel and participate in this what we call LIFE; WWOOHHAAAA!! I absolutely RELISH walking down the street and breathing in the smell of plants, and feeling the air on my skin, feeling the sun on my skin, in wonderment of the light, the sky, the clouds, the trees, the birds, the sea... I go to bed and many nights i have a little lying down dance and wriggle and laugh as my body relaxes and i feel the sheets against my skin, the weight of my body supported by the mattress, the soft warmth.. its really really awesome!! And if you have other humans that you get to SHARE that with, wow, you are immensely blessed and lucky. Take a breath fellow human. It is safe to breathe. In my world, according to the principles of Nature, it is always safe to breathe. Because no creator of such beauty as life would create such a cruel idea that breathing is not safe. Deep deep breaths. Feels good, yeah? Good for your immune system too, especially Wim Hof breathing. Many swear by it. All your yoga and meditation and healing work; it was for these times. You heard that saying, right? Maybe liked the meme, or reposted it: we were made for these times!!! Well, this is THE TIME to stand fully, feet planted deeply, in the flame of your truth. Drop anchor, know who you are; eternal creator energy. Your choice. YOUR choice. The first tenet of Yoga is Self-Responsibility. That means YOU and YOU alone are responsible for your life, your actions, your choices. Not to be confused with control. Important difference. Owning that, there is no need for anyone else to be or do anything different than what they are. When you stand in that power. Which, given the current circumstances may feel like quite a task. It is, however doable, and not only that, it is what is always here, the living intelligence of Nature, Life, your Body, that we all Get Given in each moment. There is no need to control this power. Or to fear it. It knows, it fuels our immune system, and guides us in every moment. Our health depends on this living intelligence, that exchanges with other living bodies intelligence, for its ability to adapt and to produce all that immune boosting LOVE. Did you know that according to the Blue Guide, the longest living societies in the world have one thing in common; although healthy unprocessed food from pure soil is one part of it, the main factor is community and close family interactions.. Here is how it works according to Subtle Body Anatomy; you choose where your energy goes. You align your energy with the already present laws of nature that CREATE your body and your physiology.. and access ALL of the living intelligent power that You are, that EACH human are, and can choose.. It is a powerful process of pulling energy out of the body-mind systems and unconscious conditioning that created the patterns, physiology and psychology that are not working, and redirecting, and rewiring that energy into the present moment workings of the system of natural movement of energy that your biology was born with. If you are constantly giving your energy away to belief systems, through thought and feeling, that are not nourishing you, well, that's maybe not such a smart move.. So how do you know? Well, take some time to really become aware what stories your energy are keeping in place, in your reality. For you cannot choose unless you are aware of your choices, right? Knowing what i know, (and having the ability to 'see' where energy is coming from, in speech, ie from within a person or from a dead, intentionally neuro-linguistically programmed script) i have not had one moments fear about infectious disease for myself, or my parents. Not ONE moment. I'm not saying that to be cool. I know how cool i am myself already. Like Way!! I'm saying it because it is true. And obviously, i'm taking my vitamin D and vitamin C, as i have been for years. Zinc is also supposed to be a good one, but my body doesn't like it as a supplement, so much. I think i get enough from all the irish organic or grass fed beef and raw dairy that i eat most days now, that helped me recover from the whole internal organ failure thing.. It works pretty well. I do remember having the flu for two days in 2014... but that was before i started back on an omnivore diet properly. It really great to finally have a functioning digestion and brain! It is NOW that your capacity to connect with your Self, with your inner embodied wisdom that grounds and centers you; your capacity to use the body-mind- breath tools, your capacity to choose where you place your energy and attention, and thusly entirely create your experience of reality, your capacity to switch off the adrenal response and go deep within, so you can switch off and get out of the mental emotional loop of fear, or overstimulation, of disconnection and apathy.... all this inner knowing now comes in so very handy. It is NOW that finding the space, choosing to create the space for creating the space within, for your mind and body, to come out of the fight / flight / freeze response that has us attacking other human beings out of fear, confusion, (repressed) anger and sadness. It is time NOW to say ok, i have this life here, these few more years, in this body, as myself; what am i going to to do with them. If you tell me you'll be satisfied to be on zoom and netflix for the rest of your life, then please do come back and tell my how your health is in a years time. For i'm seeing many colleagues failing to thrive already. For the simple, kindergarden science reason; It's not Natural!! Going against Nature and how she needs to move, in and through us, is never a good idea. For her intelligence is vastly more intelligent than what the minds of scared and powerhungry little humans can conjure up. Vastly. And i say her because Shakti in yoga in Matter, and Shiva is Consciousness. And so here we dance, in this cycle, this season, as brothers and sisters. And there are always those that try to bully everyone else in the sandbox. And rule. Don't be a bully. It's not nice. And don't take that shit from anyone else! MORE reflections and teachings pertaining to NOW. In Subtle Body Anatomy we meet here, now on the planet, several aspects of the Root Chakra; physical survival (fight/ flight/ freeze response) our connection (or lack thereof) to the earth and nature, food, shelter, clan, and the lesson to learn is that All is One. Which also means that One is All. In the teachings we are each responsible for our own connection to Self, to find wholeness within our inner universe. Just like in Nature, each flower needs to be its own unique expression, contributing with its exact alignment to its inner nature to a richer, more diverse, and therefore resilient whole. When survival becomes a worry for any animal, including the human animal body, a physiological event that effectively disconnects us from feeling our body takes place; the body produces lots of chemicals to prepare us for fight or flight or freeze. We are now in a state of stress. If the survival concern continues over a long period of time, our entire system begins to burn out and break down. So whenever I find myself in any kind of pickle, I like to, if I can, take the time to really examine what is going on on the inside; I always use a very powerful teaching from one of my mentors to arrive at the crux of everything, to allow for and honor the process I’m going through with compassion for myself and any emotions that need to move through my experience and body. This allows me to meet and transmute old consciousness, beliefs, corresponding emotions and behaviours, and become grounded and centered in my own body, to know myself, to be at peace with who I am and to honor that. This, in turn, allows me the perspective that 1: everyone else is probably also going through stuff 2: I don’t need anyone else to change how they behave or think or believe or act, in order for me to choose what i choose and 3: my main responsibility is to stay connected to and honor the place in myself that allows my body and mind to work optimally, keeping myself healthy, able to breathe fully and freely and 4: I don’t need to change what I believe or choose in order for anybody else to be happy, in fact this will most decidedly make me sick. Here is an amazing teaching; the less time i spend wanting others to change, the better i'll feel. In terms of spirit there IS literally nothing outside of you that can affect you in any way, unless you give it your attention, in other words, give your ENERGY to it, or them. Our body and mind responds to the thoughts we have. If you think a thought many times, YOU literally begin to make it true, and your body responds by functioning how it needs to survive the picture of reality that YOU YOURSELF IS GIVING IT / YOURSELF. When we’re in highly strung survival mode, which for a whole number reasons according to Natural Law, most humans are now, and even if not, will become by way of limbic resonance, we loose connection with our ability to feel ourself, and consequently, we loose connection with our CAPACITY to create or affect a different EXPERIENCE of ourself and our reality. You know..... you, me, everyone else walking around; we are not our beliefs; we do not need to all have the same beliefs about things. When we respect and honor our SELF, and know who we are and where we stand, there is no need to fear, or attack anybody else or their beliefs. I’m seeing adult humans behave like hurt little children in kindergarden, throwing rocks, shame, belittlement, ridicule and even hate at each other… this is not the way forward sisters and brothers. If we want a peaceful world we need to find a way to reconcile the war and hatred and fear that lives in ourself, first. As within, so without.. It's not always fun or fluffy or jolly, it's not an instant click the button gratification.. but it is possible to meet ourselves on a deeper level of intimacy with ourselves, and others; growing up means taking responsibility for our own wounds, so we can find reconciliation, integrity, honesty, clarity, respect and honor for ourself. Only from here can we truly respect and honor each persons choices and beliefs. So we can be in our bodies without fear and meet each other as humans, and treat each other with dignity. And not live in fear. When we respect and honor ourself, when we are in our own truth, at peace in ourself in our own body, we don’t need to push others down so that they see our point of view. We can simply stand and walk and choose THAT which is true for us. Own it. Truth never belittles or shames or projects or asks any other part of nature, as it is occurring in other human beings, to be different that how it is. And it doesn’t need to change itself for others, as it is just truth. We need to be able to know who we are so we can honor and respect the life that is alive and lives throughout and within each of us. If we want to create a world based on love, respect, and honoring of Nature, as it is Nature that feeds, waters, shelters and clothes us; instead of one based on fear, control, violence, domination, shaming and a few vastly profiteering on human and natural resources and energy by taking more than is needed and not sharing the fruits equally, we need to look at a few things, within ourselves. It is obscene that so few have so much and so many have so little. We shouldn’t be content in our artificial comfort that requires half of the world population to live in poverty, that requires the pollution of the earth. It’s time to humble up, as Caroline Myss says, stop blaming each other for the fact that things are not right in our interior, and get real. It's time to be more brave and more kind to ourselves than ever and feel who we really are, and heal, so we can get off the loop of fear and begin to truly connect to our humanity and the innate living healing intelligence of our Nature, our Body. Because of habit, comfort, addictions, distractions, numbing down, fast pace of modern life.... many are unconsciously giving lifecreating energy to systems of trade that perpetrate slavery, poverty, and the abuse of human and planetary resources. It's time to look in the mirror, love on yourself like never before, and see the power you have to be a noble human being, openly living in the exchange and empowerment of the luminescence of our human spirit. The ancient wisdom held by the yogi shamans, transmitted from the Star People and Mother Earth and Father Sun, that creates this human experience in physical form and functionality and living creation, is what i work with. It is a simple aligning of mind-body with the Principles of Nature, that allows energy to move unobstructedly, without interference through our Soul in physical form, our Body. When energy isn't moving through all the centers (chakras; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual energies) in all the sheaths (koshas) in their natural, health sustaining, balancing, vitalizing directions (vayus) through the right channels (nadis & meridians) and to all the organs, then we eventually get sick in one of the corresponding areas. Because life creating energy is no longer reaching that part of the system, and so it then cannot rejuvenate itself. Needless to say, anything that causes stress or disruption to any of the systems create illness; toxins or anything that tampers with the body's natural functioning and dna is simply not helpful. Because WE ARE NOT BORN BROKEN. HOW we are created is a perfect naturally designed system. Just let that be so. Did you know that the best way to regenerate a forest is to leave it alone, for many years? That makes so much sense!! For the simple reason that Nature ALREADY knows how to do things perfectly. It is the tampering with Nature, and our connection to it and to our own bodies, that are MAKING us sick. So many people are sick. So many kids are sick. Our society was sick BEFORE now. As the forests teach us, it is IMPOSSIBLE to solve a problem with thinking and methods that created the problem in the first place. It can only create more disconnection. That is simple logic. More technology, more chemicals, more limited science, more mono cropping, taking and fixing and doing and tampering with bodies and nature, trying to fix it all from a level of mind and manmade stuff, is not going to change anything. For the simple reason that there was nothing wrong with it in the first place, before 'civilization'. None of the 'modern' illnesses existed, before Man began imposing his ideas of control, efficiency and profit. It really is kinder garden science to see that if a method is not working, it would be smart to stop using that method. Believe it or not, the same intelligence that keeps the planets in orbit and the earth at the exact distance from the sun so that LIFE can exist here, probably knew how to create a body that functions in relationship to an unpoisoned earth, and organic, natural foods, in a culture and society that honors, acknowledges and celebrates this connection. The indigenous people of Australia lived in harmony with nature, using telepathic or ESP capacities that baffle modern people, and they managed to live on one continent, for anywhere between 30 to 80 000 years, without f'cking it up. They had perfect perfect healthy bodies and teeth (see Weston Prices book) before 'civilized' men arrived and decimated an entire people with their, one must conclude, fallible logic of domination. It is impossible not to be acutely aware of that this mindset of colonization of land and people, and global trade has not done any favours to human health, body or mind, or to the ecosystems and health of our planet. With that my friends i leave you for now - reply to connect in whatever way you feel. I'm working with people one to one, and also families / teams / companies to redress and align balance and working harmony throughout organized systems. These sessions are proving priceless to resolve entangled dynamics that have arisen now and that won't resolve. These sessions allows all parties to see the underlying truth and to allow nature, breath, and natural intelligence to move again throughout the system. Use contact form for all inquiries and bookings. I very much look forward to being with you in the remembrance and emergence of your human capacity, and the alignment of the workings of your physiology with those. I have full faith in the intelligence that brought you into being to making itself known to you in ways you've never even imagined before. TOGETHER WE RISE THANK YOU FOR READING and FOR BEING and for HONORING your Nature. I wish you great remembrance of your essence, your Spirit, in going forward that we may indeed prevail in our own true image, essence and actualization for all of Humanity and Nature at this time ALL MY LOVE, Veronica

In the closing weeks of a year that saw her land a record-setting number one single with “Truth Hurts” and lead the Grammy nominations, Lizzo has earned yet another well-earned honor: Time magazine has named her Entertainer of the Year for 2019. “With the Internet a scary toilet, measles somehow making a comeback, and everyone just meme-ing themselves through it because no one can afford to go to therapy,” wrote Samantha Irby for Time, “Lizzo was a beam of light shining through doom and gloom, telling us to love ourselves even if the world doesn’t always love us back. We needed her.” Irby notes Lizzo’s long road to stardom, which significantly passed through Minnesota in the first half of the 2010s. For Irby, the tribute is not just institutional but personal. “In 1989,” she writes, “when I was young and outcast and looking for even a shred of representation to make me feel less weird and alone, my options for fat-black-lady role models were Nell Carter, Marsha Warfield, and Shirley Hemphill from What’s Happening!! Imagine the kind of adults who are going to grow out of kids with access to Lizzo.” In addition to honoring Lizzo, Time named their Person of the Year: Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who at 16 became the magazine’s youngest-ever person to be so honored.

To the mom hiding behind your computer screen, searching for the next best curriculum….I know you well. You spent months researching different home school programs, curriculum, groups, and how-to’s. You read every blog, article, meme, and Facebook post that had anything to do with homeschooling. You talked to your spouse, to your friends, and to God about this undertaking and you were giddy with the amazing picture of what it would all look like in your head. When UPS arrived with the small fortune of books, materials, and fancy home school planners, you spent hours going through everything, inhaling new text book smells and blank workbook pages that would soon be filled in with your brilliant children’s work. Speaking of the little Einstein’s, I know them as well. I know all your dreams and thoughts for them. I know how you agonized over taking them out of the school that they (and you) loved because you felt that God was calling you to do a new thing. But they also were excited and begged to get started before their last year at school was up. And their excitement added to your own, making you certain that the decision was the right one. You had bought into a vision in your mind of how it would look. You’d read plenty about the joys of homeschooling and spending precious time with your children. No more wasted time in a classroom setting! Every second of every day, they would be learning and growing. And loving every minute of it. You saw yourself taking them on amazing outings and using the great outdoors as a classroom and molding your little protégés into independent learners and free thinkers! Your child with the learning/emotional/physical need would be both challenged and allowed to progress at his or her own pace. You had battled self doubt, friends doubt, and family doubt, overcoming every argument. You couldn’t wait until the first day! Until the first day comes. And expectation meets reality. Your once excited pupils suddenly realize that schooling at home doesn’t mean we just do whatever we want, but that reading, writing, and arithmetic are still a vital part of their day. Their little dream of sleeping in every day and living in our jammies is just that. A dream. Between the two year old toddler vying for attention, the phone that won’t stop ringing, the dishes piling up, and the laundry pulling at you, and worst of all, your once excited students have now become whining and griping monsters, the weight of the decision hits you. And in that moment where the fantasy meets the reality, you feel yourself wilting inside. “Wait just a minute, here!” Your inner voice screams. “This is not what I signed up for!” “Where’s the joy? The excitement of learning?” And then, almost immediately the guilt sets in and the lies bombard your mind as your inner voice begins to runs down the List of Things You Didn’t Do Right: ~Lie 1. “It’s because I’m not doing enough.” Our best is all we can do. Enough is a pipe dream. ~Lie 2. ”They’re bored! They’re supposed to be loving this! I didn’t get the right curriculum.” They’re kids. They’ll get bored a theme park eventually. And home school still has the word “school” in it. It does require work. Contrary to what some people think. ~ Lie 3.“I’m not equipped to teach them.” They are YOUR children. You are the best equipped to teach the little buggers. ~ Lie 4. “This is supposed to be fun.” Says who? That mom who writes blog posts for a living and only posts the cute/fun/perfect pictures? Show up at her house unannounced at about 4:15 pm any week day and I think you’ll see a different picture. ~ Lie 5. “I’m not crafty/smart/creative enough” Here’s the thing, we need to realize and teach our kids that learning is an ongoing process. We are always learning. The joy in homeschooling comes when you figure out that you are learning with your kids. You are teaching them to love learning! Eventually. The day we think we’ve arrived and that there is no more to learn, is the day we die. Remember that the next time you talk to some “expert” who refuses to acknowledge that we are all life-long learners and acts as if he/she has it all figured out. They are dead inside. Move along. ~ Lie 6. “I didn’t pray over them enough.” Really? God keeps a score card? I missed that in the Bible. And there’s that word again. Enough. ~ Lie 7. “I shouldn’t have nursed them to sleep when they were babies.” Just. Stop. It. ~ Lie 8. “I shouldn’t have co-slept/let them cry it out/given them vaccinations/not given them vaccinations.” No, really. Stop. And on and on until you are a blubbering, guilt ridden mess hiding in your pantry, sneaking chocolate while your children are watching TV because you could not handle small, whiny voices interrupting each other with, “What’s 8 x 8?” “How do you spell arachnid?” “Why do I have to write my name on this paper?” You have simply given up. And it’s only 10am. On the first day. (See? I do know you.) Just stop. Put down the chocolate. It’s not you. It’s not them. It’s life. I’m going to tell you a secret I wish I would have embraced when I first started. Are you ready?? Here it is: It’s ok for them to be bored. As a matter of fact, it’s good for them to do some monotonous things. Your job is to prepare them for life. Not to entertain them. It’s ok for it not all to be fun. It’s ok for them to do things they don’t want to do. It’s called character building. Your job is to pour more than just the multiplication table, English grammar, and history lessons into them. What would it matter if our kids mastered all of the laws of physics and mathematics but failed the simple assignments of kindness, compassion, discipline? Andrew Kern said it best when he said, “Children are souls to be nurtured, not products to be measured.” So give yourself some grace. It’s ok for you to bumble through that first year or so trying to find your own personal rhythm, because that’s what it’s about. You’ve got to find YOUR family’s tempo because no two are the same. You’re learning something you were probably never taught unless you were home schooled yourself. Stop comparing yourself. Pour into your children. The most important lessons they will learn will come from watching you. Breathe deeply. Let them see you struggle and lean on Jesus to get you through. Prepare them to live radically for Christ first and they will be prepared for college. Remember mommas, we CAN do all things through Christ which strengthens us. Even educate our kids. If you get nothing else out of this rambling post, just remember, with Him, you, imperfect, curriculum changing, chocolate eating, grammar diagramming nazi (or not), Pinterest fail queen, are ENOUGH.I’m off to the store to finish the last of my school supply shopping. Notebooks, pens, and chocolate for the pantry.

Matt McCausland, who claims to work for a law firm is a paralegal candidate according to his LinkedIn, has posted about creating an ethnostate for white people in Scotland, blaming the “Jewish system that has taken control everywhere.” Ontario president says they aren't a hate group while Alberta Sgt. at Arms says “The LGBTQ community will not be finished until they can f*** children.” September 29, 2020 Canadian Anti-Hate Network A group of about 20 individuals gathered in Collingwood, Ontario under the banner of “MAPP” or “Mankind Against Pedophiles and Predators,” earlier this month. The September 7th event was hosted by Northern Guard Ontario president Robb Reason and member Carmen Greco. The Northern Guard is a biker-style anti-Muslim group and an offshoot of the neo-Nazi Soldiers of Odin. It was also attended by members of the Soldiers of Odin. Like other right-wing anti-pedophilia movements before them, discussion in the MAPP group regularly slides into homophobia and transphobia and blames the LGBTQ+ community for pedophilia. A great deal of the group’s bigotry towards the 2SLGBTQIA+ community specifically addresses the recent increase in visibility of gender-diverse and gender-exploring children. Northern Guard Facebook group moderator and QAnon follower Steve Gutsche contributed a 250-word homophobic conspiratorial diatribe, which included the statement: “We know that LGBTQP has nothing to do with sexuality...it is meant as an attack on the family unit. Especially against the traditional male role model as protector. Instead, they are trying to create a 'global citizen' which is a feminized version of the male, passive, non-violent and willing to obey authority like a good little communist” and made reference to adrenochrome, the antisemitic QAnon conspiracy theory. LGBTQP -- not a typo -- is Gutsche adding "pedophile" to the end of the acronym. MAPP rally co-organizer Carmen Greco, who goes by "Carmen Joseph" shared an article titled "'It's really sick and dark': The left says PEDOPHILIA is a sexual orientation, should be protected under LGBT laws." Others are more explicitly hateful. Scott Gorkoff, who identifies himself on his Facebook profile as the Sergeant At Arms of the Northern Guard Alberta Chapter, writes: “The LGBTQ community will not be finished until they can fuck children.” In an interview with Collingwood Today, Reason denied that the Northern Guard is bigoted or a hate group. We don't let hate groups whitewash their image. Help us hold them accountable using their own words: antihate.ca/donate In the Mankind Against Pedophiles and Predators Facebook group, one member shared their frustration with “having to defend the LGBTQ community against this group." The responses are telling. Andras Katona, whose profile picture features a sonnenrad or black sun, a symbol used by neo-Nazis in place of a swastika, replied with a widely debunked meme that suggests that the 2SLGBTQIA+ community accepts adult-child sexual relationships under the banner “love is love.” When the original poster called it a false narrative, he responded by threatening: “if any of these degenerates come near my children I mean any of them. Well I'll leave it at that.” Former Proud Boy, Son of Odin, and Soldier of Odin Timothy Reid Gavin “MacPhreedom” added that the perception linking the LGBTQ+ community and pedophilia is one "you’ve brought on yourselves.” He also says that the homophobic sentiments being expressed in the group “are a direct result in the alphabet [LGBTQ+] community not only turning a blind eye to, but yes, also endorsing and encouraging” behaviour that is predatory to children. Reid has been a fixture on the Southern Ontario hate scene for several years, including attending multiple events in Hamilton, such as the racist “Patriot March” and Yellow Vest protests at Hamilton City Hall. He was also detained for assaulting an antifascist at a PEGIDA anti-muslim protest in Toronto in 2018. The individual defending the LGBTQ+ community tagged Robbie Reason, founder of the group, for help. Reason told her “I don't see every comment. You'll have to show me,” and promised to “go through the comments,” asking for patience. A week later, Katona’s debunked meme and threat was intact on the thread. On a different post in the group alleging that “the left is normalizing pedophilia”, Katona commented “Look closely at who the people ars [sic] pushing this narrative! Open your eyes folks they are all the same. 👃” The nose emoji is used by white supremacists to represent Jewish people. MAPP announced its next demonstration will be in London, Ontario, in October. Facebook shut its page down shortly before publishing this piece. Of course, they already have a new private group.

Image Of Sen. Bernie Sanders In Mittens During Inauguration Goes Viral; Even CTA Joins Meme GameU.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) has gone viral with his mittens and other winter attire for the inauguration on Wednesday.

During New York Fashion Week last week, Los Angeles streetwear brand Pizzaslime, pioneer of the Stop Looking At My _____ Sweatpants, debuted its new collection, “got fame?” Although Pizzaslime’s entire brand is essentially one big meme (even its website, which is modeled after TMZ’s site with satirical article galleries and ads), it bluntly points out celebrity culture and media consumption. One of the parody articles on its site calls out its own collaboration with Crocs, which was a $300 shoulder bag. Its new collection features a fashion show full of 3D-rendered celebrities as well as some non-famous avatars. Examples include an old lady wearing a “got fame?” T-shirt watching Kanye West eat a sandwich while wearing a Pizzaslime logo hoodie, Mark Zuckerberg wearing a “mentally dating Harry Styles” T-shirt and multiple parodies of Christian merch where the name “Jesus” is replaced with something related to “gossip.” The T-shirts are as funny as they are sobering. They display society’s obsession with internet and celebrity culture, exacerbated by yellow journalism and platforms such as Twitter. However, meme fashion is not new. It’s become somewhat mainstream, shown in multiple brands’ clothing and accessory releases over the years. Imran Potato serves as an example — from a creepy T-shirt with Teletubbies huddling to bootleg Louis Vuitton denim jackets, the brand has been worn by the likes of Billie Eilish and Kylie Jenner. Now, Imran Potato has a merch collaboration with Utz; hoodies and t-shirts have chains on them with various Utz snacks as the pendants, furthering the brand’s creative meme status. Most notably, Balenciaga released platform foam sandals that deeply resemble Crocs (embellishments and all), MasterCard-esque hoodies and items with a 2016 logo that were accused of being inspired by Bernie Sanders’ campaign. In reality, they were inspired by corporate life. “One of the things we wanted to create was a logotype that gave a corporate vision, very vividly,” said Demna Gvasalia, the fashion house’s artistic director. Five years ago, unironically wearing shoes like New Balances would’ve been considered a fashion sin, but now everyone and their mom is rocking a pair. The Balenciaga Triple S is luxury fashion’s version of the dad sneaker and Gucci has hopped on the trend as well. A large portion of internet communication is shared images and videos that sometimes don’t make sense to anyone, meme-savvy or not. So, it should be expected that various industries will follow — although not always successfully. TMZ now reports breaking news, meme stocks have an economic impact and we live in a world where we trade memes as often as we used to trade Pokémon cards. It’s not a shock that fashion, a multi-billion dollar industry, would follow suit and capitalize off of these constantly evolving trends. And although memes come and go throughout the years, it looks like meme fashion is here to stay.

Last week, I was minding my own business, scrolling Facebook, looking to find memes that I could twist around in order to support my major life decisions, when I came across one that made me … THINK. I know, I know, those of you who know me by now are shocked that I might read an internet meme and start thinking about it. But, you guys—it IS so weird. We form our opinions about people based on maybe one thing-something we observed, or even something someone told us! And our perspective is definitely shaped by other things as well. I know that I think WAY too much about what others think about me. I’m always trying to be that person that everyone likes. And I’m pretty sure by now that we all know that when you’re trying super hard to BE something, you almost always fail. That leaves me being my authentic self, and here is where that gets complicated. I’m not just ONE thing. I’m not just ONE way. We are all such complicated versions of ourselves, multi-faceted and full of layers. I (and trust me, I know this is strange) like to think a lot about my strengths and weaknesses as a human being. You know how there are some (incredible) people who are so committed to exercise/health that they are constantly thinking about how to be healthier? This is me, except I’m fat and instead I’m constantly thinking about how to be a better person instead of meal prepping and tread-milling. I read this, though, and something clicked for me. Something I definitely already KNEW, but didn’t know-know. No matter how hard I try to use my words to build others up, I will mess up and I will say something horrible and mean accidentally. No matter how hard I try to be flexible, someone will think I’m spineless or can’t stick to a decision. No matter how hard I try to be compassionate, someone will think I only care about myself. No matter how hard I try to be understanding, I’ll miss something and someone will think that I can’t put myself in anyone else’s shoes. That even though I remind people all the time that even though I may seem outgoing, I have almost-crippling social anxiety and I panic when I see people I know, especially people that I know dislike me (like you, who may be reading this, even though you unfriended me on Facebook long ago for a reason that I’m not quite sure of, but spent a while wondering, and then just decided that you hate me). So if I seem like I’m making a beeline to get away from you— yeah, I totally am. Because I don’t know what to say and I hate that feeling! So, let’s face it: it is OFFICIALLY time for me to STOP worrying about what everyone else thinks of me. Except … I’ve said that before. And I haven’t done it. So, now it’s time to make an action plan! I know the feeling that I get when I feel that someone else is making negative assumptions about me. It’s shame, it’s wondering if they are actually correct, it’s berating myself for whatever I did to make them come to that conclusion. When I start to get that feeling, I will: - Tell it to get the EFF away from me - Write down 5 things I love about myself - Write down 5 things I’m grateful for I’ve got to let go of trying to live up to this idea that I can be the person that everyone loves, that can see right deep into my heart, that only brings joy and doesn’t ever make anyone mad. I have got to realize that even when I think I’ve proven to others that I have the best intentions, they will draw their own conclusions. I have GOT to remember that even though I overthink and go around and around and around, I STILL MISS THINGS. I still say hurtful things. I still make (plenty of) mistakes, because … Wait for it, yo … I am HUMAN. (Hint: so are you!) So, I’m going to revel in the fact that I can be different versions of myself to different people, and that if it helps someone else to make me their villain or their hero, that’s pretty cool. And I’m gonna tell that horrible judgy feeling to GET. LOST.

I love the internet. It’s an endless source of entertainment and knowledge (mostly entertainment). From Imgur to YouTube and everything in between, the vastness of the internet is comedy gold. We’ve seen cats on Roombas, sneezing pandas, Take-My-Money Fry from Futurama and countless other meme-able moments. And this past year was no exception. In the spirit of starting off the year with a little laugh, let’s take a break from the daily grind to dive into the seven best memes of 2016. 7 best memes of 2016 While we’ll never forget “Hey Girl” Ryan Gosling or Grumpy Cat, the internet still moved forward with some killer memes and moments in 2016. 1. Damn Daniel You knew it was coming — damn Daniel. Two friends just goofing off resulted in one of the biggest viral moments of 2016. Josh, the voice behind the damn Daniel sensation, tells it best in this Ellen interview: And then the internet exploded. Now, “damn Daniel” is a slogan for awe and appreciation. What started off as a simple Snapchat Story became a daily routine. Memes appeared, fans stopped them on the streets, interview opportunities cropped up, and Josh received a custom surfboard while Daniel got a lifetime supply of Vans. It’s safe to say that these two teenagers certainly made an impact. 2. Good Kermit vs. Evil Kermit I won’t try to deny it — I frequently argue with myself. So when Good Kermit vs. Evil Kermit cropped up, I couldn’t help but laugh. It’s just soooo relatable! Trying to eat healthy? Brain conjures up images of decadent, icing-clad cake. Working to meet a deadline? Brain decides that it’s imperative to browse through emails. Now. Evil subconscious is evil. 3. Sad Ben Affleck I never saw Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but based off the memes and general bad-mouthing I heard after the movie’s debut, it seems like I didn’t miss much. Thankfully, though, it wasn’t a total flop. We did end up with this comically depressing clip: Nothing captures Ben’s expression better than Simon and Garfunkel’s “Sound of Silence.” Queue the slow motion zoom in. 4. Biden and Obama Biden: I’m gonna throw his wig into the fireplace Obama: Joe don’t Biden: One Horcrux down, 6 to go pic.twitter.com/YJt4gXYFfq — Hogwarts Logic (@HogwartsLogic) November 16, 2016 A lot happened in 2016 — some good, some bad. Regardless, we can’t help but laugh at the Biden/Obama memes that found life late last year. Internet users everywhere took it upon themselves to caption images of the two men together, and the results were hilarious. The phenomenon exploded to a point where there are now pages dedicated to the best memes of 2016 solely surrounding Joe Biden and Barack Obama. 5. Chewbacca Mom What probably started out as a simple reveal to her friends turned into a moment of pure gold as a stay-at-home mom uploaded a video of her recent Kohl’s purchase to Facebook. There’s just something so genuine about her reaction to a simple Star Wars mask. And with more than 165 million views, the general population agrees. Candace Payne, now deemed Chewbacca Mom, became a sensation overnight. 6. Michael Phelps stank face Thirty-nine world records. 23 gold medals. 4 silver medals. 2 bronze medals. And one insanely memorable, meme-able moment during the 2016 Rio Olympics. As a former competitive swimmer, this moment will forever live in infamy in my mind. Like any sport, prepping for the big moment is as much a mental game as it is physical preparation. We were just fortunate enough to catch it live. 7. Bottle flipping To be honest, I’m not entirely certain what started the bottle flipping fad. But I do know one thing — watching these women flip a bottle and then appropriately dab is life. So the next time you’re experiencing a major win, share this gif with your friends. Memes, gifs and moments abound By no means does this list encompass all of the best memes of 2016. There were so many moments to choose from. But you know who’s really on top of trends? This guy.

Video: Nasty Pastor Shames Women for Not Being Hotter for Their Husbands The Friendly Atheist shared a video of Pastor Stewart-Allen Clark giving some kind of strange sermon rant to women about the importance of not letting yourself go and staying in tip-top sexy shape for your special someone. When I first came across the video, I thought that it must be some kind of joke, or maybe something from the early 90s as the recording quality, the sexist garbage and the pastor's choice of clothing all appear to be stuck in the past. This clip is apparently from a sermon he gave on February 21st, 2021 -- just a few days ago. "...don't give him a reason to be like this distracted boy, you hear me?" the pastor says, as he points to the infamous meme of the man turning away from his girlfriend to check out another chick's butt. "Don't give him a reason to be looking around." He goes on to say later in the clip: "Now, I'm not saying that every woman can be the epic, the epic, trophy wife of all time, like Melania Trump. I'm not saying that all. No, most women can't be trophy wives like her, but maybe a participation trophy." Wow, Pastor Clark. You are a really funny guy. The amount of a**hole wrapped up in a person that is supposed to be a religious leader is pretty gross and just another testament to the garbage certain pastors can't seem to stop spewing. I vote for Pastor Clark for pathetic incel of the day. I wouldn't even waste chapstick on meeting your bloated ass face-to-face. I only hope you aren't raising daughters of your own with this kind of garbage clouding their adolescent minds. I care so little about this icky pastor that I can't even bring myself to Google his name at all. Lizzie Borden's Maplecroft Is Back on the Market in Fall River, Massachusetts FMX Control Room Tour

Is there knowledge in the Most High?" Elisha the prophet made the following prediction. Isaiah 43:1 - But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine. Here we find a great example of God knowing all future possibilities. Cookie Notice: Ephesians 1:11 says God âworks all things according to the counsel of his will.â In fact, the Bible teaches that we can actually partner with the Holy Spirit in prayer and pray for our own lives and the lives of others (1 Timothy 2:1). C. Job is a good person. It is another example of God knowing all future possibilities. Scripture says that God is aware of what is presently happening here on earth. Minor Prophets Johannine Writings The New Testament Isaiah 43:1 - But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine. And he also sees the reason why we do these things. The Gospels This illustrates the truth that God knows everything that will happen as well as everything that might happen. Nothing happens without His willing it. Elisha answered, "Go and say to him, 'You will certainly not recover'; but the LORD has revealed to me that he will in fact die" (2 Kings 8:10). By proceeding, you consent to our cookie usage. Thank you so much for amazing message. The Old Testament As the Psalmist wrote, âHis understanding has no limitâ (Psalm 147:5). range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed We find God continuing to protect David from Saul after he left the city of Keilah. Prophets Pauline Epistles Biblical examples of David and Saul, as well as the Lord Jesus and the cities that did not repent, illustrate the truth of God's knowledge of all potential events. The Lord answered with a yes. In this case we have Jesus comparing the cities of Capernaum, Chorazin and Bethsaida to Sodom and Gomorrah and Tyre and Sidon. They will speak against God. And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in the mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year. Historical Books God is omniscient; He knows everything actual and possible. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned (Matthew 12:37). He knows our hearts from afar; He even saw us in the womb (Psalm 139:1-3, 15-16). Wisdom Literature Pentateuch Cookie Notice: He cannot learn anything, does not need to be taught and does not make any mistakes. The Bible speaks of many things as being predestined or foreordained - large words that mean that God planned them and knew of them before they happened. In fact, He is the Creator of time, which explains why He knows â the end from the beginning. "Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Scripture gives the following episode. Some believe He knows everything that will happen but He doesnât always cause it (especially sinful things). All those who have put their trust in him are comforted by the thought of God's omniscience. Such are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches (Psalm 73:11,12). 2 He sets the time for birth and the time for death, the time for planting and the time for pulling up, 3 the time for killing and the time for healing, the time for tearing down and the time for building. God know what David's response would be and that he and his men would leave before Saul arrived. Pentateuch Johannine Writings (Psalm 94:9). Poetical Books Can anyone teach God knowledge, in that he judges those on high? Wisdom Literature GenesisExodusLeviticusNumbersDeuteronomyJoshuaJudgesRuth1 Samuel2 Samuel1 Kings2 Kings1 Chronicles2 ChroniclesEzraNehemiahEstherJobPsalmsProverbsEcclesiastesSong of SongsIsaiahJeremiahLamentationsEzekielDanielHoseaJoelAmosObadiahJonahMicahNahumHabakkukZephaniahHaggaiZechariahMalachiMatthewMarkLukeJohnActsRomans1 Corinthians2 CorinthiansGalatiansEphesiansPhilippiansColossians1 Thessalonians2 Thessalonians1 Timothy2 TimothyTitusPhilemonHebrewsJames1 Peter2 Peter1 John2 John3 JohnJudeRevelation, Select a Beginning Point God's knowledge extends to not only actual events that will occur, but every possible event that could occur. O Lord God of Israel, I pray, tell your servant." General Epistles Whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything (1 John 3:20). The omniscience of God means that He has perfect knowledge, perfect understanding, and perfect wisdom as to how to apply the knowledge. Johannine Writings When people realize they will have to stand one day before an all-knowing God, this should cause them to evaluate the way they live their lives. He does not have to learn anything and He has not forgotten anything. For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. David asked the Lord what would happen if Saul came to Keilah. God knows everything about creation (Isaiah 40:28; Matthew 10:29; Psalms 94:11). Or who has been his counselor?â (Romans 11:34). In the prayer of Hannah, the mother of Samuel, we have the revealed truth that God is a God of knowledge. Whatever is going to happen [in the future] has already happened [in the past]. God does determine when everybody dies and he did decide that in eternity. God is also eternal (Psalm 90:2). David and his men were in the city of Keilah. For who has despised the day of small things? For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that he may strongly support those whose heart is completely his (2 Chronicles 16:9). God also knows every potential thing that might happen. GenesisExodusLeviticusNumbersDeuteronomyJoshuaJudgesRuth1 Samuel2 Samuel1 Kings2 Kings1 Chronicles2 ChroniclesEzraNehemiahEstherJobPsalmsProverbsEcclesiastesSong of SongsIsaiahJeremiahLamentationsEzekielDanielHoseaJoelAmosObadiahJonahMicahNahumHabakkukZephaniahHaggaiZechariahMalachiMatthewMarkLukeJohnActsRomans1 Corinthians2 CorinthiansGalatiansEphesiansPhilippiansColossians1 Thessalonians2 Thessalonians1 Timothy2 TimothyTitusPhilemonHebrewsJames1 Peter2 Peter1 John2 John3 JohnJudeRevelation, Select an Ending Point Historical Books When life is good, enjoy it. The Old Testament Q: âIf God knows everything, God knows the future. Romans 8:28 is probably the most misinterpreted scripture by Christians than any other. We may not understand why He allows some things to happen â but we can trust in Godâs love and mercy and goodness. Major Prophets The first thing to say is that God governs with infinite wisdom and power everything that takes place. (NLT) (NLT) Acts 9:15 "But the Lord said to him, 'Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel.'" Yet none of us can ever fully understand all he has done, and he puts questions in our minds about the past and the future. Jesus said. B. But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the godless (2 Peter 3:7). Minor Prophets Minor Prophets Furthermore we are told that God has planned (or predestined) certain things.

(I’m sorry honey please don’t hate me for what I’m going to do trust me I know what I’m doing) “So do we have to do some kind of Project Runway schtick, or do they just tell us if we got anything?” Sinbad watched as Shark wolfed down the strange-looking desserts from the buffet table. “I think they just tell us,” Shark said while packing his cheeks full of cheesecake. “They used to make a big show out of it, but then someone complained.” Resting his head onto his hand, Sinbad grunted in response to this asinine reason. He then frowned at seeing a lack of familiar faces, even for a costume party. “Shouldn’t your dad have found us by now? I mean, shit. What’s keeping him? He should’ve found us by now.” (Okay, now this can be the true Halloween special.) “Come on, Sinbad!” Shark had taken a lot of time to make sure his hair looked the same as it did in the picture. A part of him agonized over how many spikes there were. Then came the black robe with a hood. “I want to get there early!” Sinbad, who was in the bathroom, responded with a slew of profanities, and cursing the game character he was supposed to be dressed as. “Are you having trouble with the hair?” The door swung open, revealing a very disgruntled fiance. His hair drooped in several poorly-greased spikes. With swift precision, Sinbad handed him the bottle of gel. (Fuck it I’m not waiting until Halloween to post this I just want this off this computer and argh) (WARNING! Slurs and sexual assault committed with a sharp object!) Every morning I wake up in pain and agony. I say morning, in the loosest sense of the term. I don’t think time even flows in this place. Sometimes the pain is slight. Other times it’s the most horrendous ordeal of all time. I grit my teeth nearly every time I get out of bed. (Shorter chapter because of twofer submission) The next morning, Sinbad took the day off to spend time with Shark. Still waiting for word on Shark’s application, both of them decided to browse the bookstore for anything good. “October 1985.” Shark read the publication date of a child’s cookbook. “This book must be pretty old.” Sinbad just scoffed. “I’ll say. That damn thing is older than me!” He then realized Shark was flipping through the pages of the fairly thin paperback. “Wait, you don’t actually want me to get you that, do you?” Shark just shrugged. “It could help. I mean, who knows. You might get sick and not be able to cook. It might help to know a few things to be safe.” (No, this chapter has nothing to do with Spider-Man. At least I don’t think it does) It seemed like forever before Sinbad was done hurling. Wobbling up to his full height, he quietly put the lid back onto the trash can. Then he collapsed upon it, coughing and breathing heavily. Sinbad was now just confused and disgusted at how that was still happening. There was just no possible way for it to continue, especially after the pictures were sent. Shark awoke to the smell of antibiotics, and the sound of machines beeping. His mind was too foggy to truly register the change in location. He tried to turn over onto his left side, but a searing pain prevented him from doing so. Gasping in discomfort, he instead fell back into his bed. Unlike last time he was in this place, Shark was completely alone in the room. He couldn’t remember how he ended up here. All he did recall was pain, and blood. Taking a deep breath, Shark pulled himself to a sitting position, and looked around. (WARNING! A grown man has a tantrum in public, and some implied gruesomeness.) Shark was still bummed as he and Sinbad were back at the grocery store, buying another set of pumpkins to carve. His face still bore evidence of the tears he’d shed earlier. “Dude, come on. Spending another few bucks on these things ain’t gonna put that big a dent in our finances. Probably just some vandals got to our first ones and thought it’d be funny to destroy shit.” Sinbad’s words didn’t seem to do much good. Shark just stood next to him like some melancholy behemoth, wiping his face of residual tears and snot. “Remind me again why we got the bear its own pumpkin?” Sinbad was dumbfounded that pumpkins could even be grown that small. Shark looked down at the little stuffed toy sitting next to him, and smiled. “I didn’t want it to feel left out when we did this.” He knew the bear couldn’t actually carve a pumpkin, but he or Sinbad could do it themselves later. This answer got Sinbad to look at him funny, then went back to carving. He didn’t get very far before Lolly came up the steps, just barely avoiding getting kicked. (WARNING! Sex. Want to know what took this post longer than usual? Well, now you’re gonna find out why. O___O) “Are those all you had left? Well, damn! Usually not one for the plain cakes…” Dennis remembered some strange ‘late night’ special the diner offered for night owls. He couldn’t say no to discounted leftover donuts, at least. The problem was that the choices were slim. “You sure you don’t have anything with filling? Like, jam or custard? No? All right, then.” After he made his selections, Dennis was back out in the cold, drafty world that was his town. The large box he’d been given was only half full of the treats. Deciding it wasn’t the diner’s fault, he kept going and chose not to make a fuss about it. *insert overused Portal meme here* This was my first time actually drawing their faces, if only partially. No, I have no idea why they would be trying to sneak up on a (seemingly unattended) cake. I don’t even know what occasion this would be (a birthday, perhaps).

Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish. Today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Freebie, so I decided to celebrate the ALA Youth Media Awards, which were announced yesterday. Like so many other teachers and librarians I know, I was up early to watch the announcements live. It’s one of my favorite bookish events of the year. Radiant Child won Caldecott Gold! This win is a trifecta of goodness: a nonfiction picture book about an African-American artist that is also illustrated by African-American artist. Javaka Steptoe’s art for Radiant Child was the most stunning of the year. I was expecting They All Saw a Cat to win gold, and I was overjoyed to guess this one wrong. Steptoe also won the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award. They All Saw a Cat was my other favorite picture book of the year, and in a different year could easily have won gold. But I felt very satisfied with its silver Honor award. The amazing Caldecott Committee honored the amazing R. Gregory Christie with a silver Honor award for Freedom in Congo Square. Ashley Bryan won a Newbery Honor for Freedom Over Me, a picture book collection of poems in the voices of eleven slaves. I don’t know if Freedom Over Me is the strongest collection of poetry this year, but Newbery committees have a history of overlooking poetry and, more importantly, overlooking the contributions of African-American writers. So I was pleased to see this book honored. Ashley Bryan also won Coretta Scott King Illustrator and Author Honor Awards. My second favorite win of the day (after Radiant Child for Caldecott Gold) was March Book Three for the Printz Award. It was a crazy day of honors for John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell (whose work for illustration also deserves recognition): FOUR major ALA Youth Media Awards! But it was the Printz that made me happiest, as the Printz rarely honors nonfiction or graphic novels. This Printz committee sent a strong message about the literary quality of nonfiction graphic novels. (In addition to the Printz, March won the Sibert Medal, the Coretta Scott King Author Award, and the Excellence in Nonfiction Award). I liked Jason Reynolds’s other 2016 novel, Ghost, a little better, but I think as brave as you is the more literary effort. I was sure Reynolds would get a nod from the Coretta Scott King committee, but I was surprised and pleased to see the Schneider Family Award committee honoring this book with the Middle-School win. Duncan Tonatiuh won both Illustrator Honor Awards given by the Pura Belpre committee! His work is so consistently phenomenal. Nikki Grimes was the recipient of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children. This is a well-deserved honor for one of my all-time favorite poets. One of my other all-time favorite poets, Naomi Shihab Nye, was honored with the May Hill Arbuthnot Honor Lecture Award. And finally, Sarah Dessen won the Margaret A. Edwards Award for lifetime achievement. Nobody writes smart, thoughtful girls as well as Dessen. And a bonus favorite: I read multiple books at a time (sometimes so many multiple books that it feels like I never finish anything). And I just happened to be in the middle of reading ALL FOUR of this year’s Newbery books! What are the chances? And now, off to finish one (or two or three) of them.

This experience was so much fun and the raviolis we made were amazing! Joao Pedro is highly sought after, yet he’s only 17 years old. A rivalry and even possible mentorship may just arise at the international level. His first step onto the scene was in the 83rd minute against Finland. Porto. Porto’s manager Sergio Conceicao has certainly taken a shine to the young striker. Lorenzo married Giovanna Pellegrini (born Gervasoni). A lot of this goes down to his excellent form, he’s playing at a level far more senior than his age. Choose from available dates. I know brothers named Lorenzo (Enzo) and Luca - I think Enzo is just slightly my favourite. This sort of movement causes confusion which can create gaps in defence.

My weekly Law Bytes column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) picks up on last week's posting on the Canadian Anti-Counterfeiting Network's claims about counterfeiting in Canada. In begins by noting that based on recent media coverage, people unfamiliar with Canada could be forgiven for assuming that all Canadians sport pirate […] Stop ACTA 9 by Martin Krolikowski (CC BY 2.0) https://flic.kr/p/bs3VmD Appeared in the Toronto Star on March 5, 2007 as Piracy in Canada Noise Getting Tiresome Based on recent media coverage, people unfamiliar with Canada could be forgiven for assuming that all Canadians sport pirate eye-patches while searching for counterfeit treasure. The "Canada as a piracy haven" meme has been […] CRIA's Graham Henderson was back in the spotlight yesterday with a speech delivered on behalf of the Canadian Anti-Counterfeiting Network at the Economic Club of Toronto understatedly titled "Canada Awash in Piracy" An Action Plan to Secure Our Prosperity". The speech, which has yet to be posted online (then again, CRIA has not posted a release or a speech since last September), followed the usual CRIA formula: - law firm sponsors to help fill the room (McCarthy Tetrault) - a questionable Pollara study (this one focused on Canadians' appetite for counterfeit goods) - cracks at law professors ("we don't have a [piracy party] here yet but there are rumours that some law professors are putting one together") - an astonishingly critical portrayal of Canada and Canadian policy makers (Canada has "a poorly developed marketplace framework for intellectual property rights", low Canadian attendance at a WIPO counterfeiting conference was "a grievous oversight and it sends a disturbing message", etc.) There are several issues worth noting about the speech. First, I don't know many people who are in favour of commercial counterfeiting. If the allegations regarding organized crime involvement and health and safety issues (counterfeit pharmaceuticals, batteries, toys) are even partially true, Canada should have a legal system to address these concerns. Henderson suggested several reforms (trademark reform, customs powers) that would likely prove relatively uncontroversial in that regard. The problem with this latest campaign is that it massively overstates the problem and seeks to conflate commercial counterfeiting with other activities that are not nearly as problematic. My weekly Law Bytes column (Toronto Star version, freely available version, update: the BBC features an internationalized version) examines the controversy surrounding the Sony rootkit and its use of digital rights management.

“The worst days of my life have turned out to be the best gift of all.” It sounds like a meme you’d find on an inspirational meme, but it’s a real quote from a real solo business owner. Meet Joni Seeto whose own battle for better health led her to the business of her dreams. The Melbourne-based food coach, owner of Food Habits is on a mission to help women overcome emotional eating, one step at a time. It’s a job Joni covets with a passion because she’s walked the journey herself. Eighteen months ago she was running a health food shop that was failing miserably. After spending the previous decade working in corporate finance, the health food shop was Joni’s first foray into business. “It was a health food shop and I figured that if I was surrounded by healthy food all day, I’d become healthy,” laughs Joni. In reality she’d never been more unhappy or unhealthy. “I was working 7 days a week to keep the shop going. And because I was in an environment where I was stressed and surrounded food – what did I do?” “Because I had spent almost the whole year in the shop I’d barely saw my partner and we were so close to calling it quits at that point. And then my nan died – these things all come in threes, right? And it was the final straw. I realised I had to make a change.” ‘It was the first time in my life where I had to stop and think’ The first change was closing the health food shop – a move that Joni describes as completely discombobulating for her perfectionist personality. “It was the first time in my life where I had no plan – I had to stop and think: what will I do now? And that kind of led me on a self-discovery journey.” Heading back to the corporate life was not an option: “I got a taste of the freedom of the business world and I still had my original reasons for becoming a business owner: I wanted financial independence so when I eventually have children I can be free to work around them,” she says. Joni says reading self-help books on “everything” was a key part of her journey. “I started learning more about what makes businesses work (ie that they need to solve a real problem and reflect your ‘why’ and key values,” says Joni. Joni hid her emotional eating out of shame “A big influence was John Demartini and then I discovered the enneagram personality framework and that really helped me understand myself and the way I viewed the world. And and the John De Martini training helped me understand my values – including why I turned to food in the first place.” Joni says until she tapped into the Demartini information she’d always struggled to understand her issues with food. “For 20 years I have struggled with binge eating and emotional eating and I just thought this was my own issues with food. It seemed like everyone else out there was doing so well and I was the only one who couldn’t stick to a diet,” says Joni. “So when I had this first realization that what I was doing was binge eating, I opened my Instagram account and started talking about it. I started getting messages, one after another from women who were saying, ‘OMG I do his too! And they were saying that they too were thinking they were the ones who did it. It was then that I realised, I had no choice, I had to get the message out there.” And so Food Habits was born Joni completed a diploma at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating and became a certified eating psychology coach. She says her clients are all women 35 years and up. “They come to me after 15 or 20 years of dieting. At the end of this period they have tried absolutely everything and realised that nothing is working. So they are starting to go – okay there is something else going on here,” says Joni. “When we are in our teens and 20s and even our 30s we are always looking for external validation of approval or love. You start to realise you have to give it to yourself and that additional self love and acceptance comes from that.” Joni’s courses run for 12 weeks and start with a big section on “undoing the diet mentality”. “I teach women how to un-brainwash – how to tune back into their bodies and find respect for their bodies again.” The future looks bright Joni says having finally found a business that aligns with her personal values motivates her on a daily basis. “My main business goal now is how can I spread this message far and wide. Actually, my ultimate dream is a Netflix documentary on this topic to really reach the women of the world,” says Joni. “This business is so aligned with my values that I don’t care how long it takes to get off the ground, I will never stop fighting for this business. My food business was nice to have, but this business is completely different.”

Friendship Guest Post #2 Last week some of you may have seen the first post in this mini-series on friendship, a series of guest-posts centred on how having a long-term illness or disability can affect the friendships you have, make & break; last week’s post was written by Megz Jones, a 25-year-old woman who has type 2 bipolar disorder. This week’s post has been written by Roxanne Michelle, a 29-year-old with generalised anxiety disorder. Thank you Lucy-May for posting my contribution, I’m so happy to be a part of Medical Mondays. A little background for readers new to me. My name is Roxanne Michelle, @AnAverageLife88, I did/will blog over at www.anaveragelife.org which is currently down, preparing for relaunch on my 30th birthday 22.08.18 I was diganosed with generalised anxiety disorder in 2014. Let me tell you about the friendships that blossomed and those that died along my journey with mental illness. More importantly, let me show you why it’s okay to lose them. Before my diagnosis I was always the ‘host’, an extremely social, outgoing person. I live in a small town & it’s easier to keep in touch with friends throughout your life when you constantly pass them in the street. It’s also very hard to hide from them, especially if you work in the town centre as I do. In the beginning I withdrew. Completely. I didn’t want to go out, I didn’t want visitors and I cancelled plans repeatedly, often at the last moment with weak excuses. The first round of friends to fade away were the impatient ones. The kind who get fed-up with cancellations and excuses, they just aren’t invested enough to keep trying. There’s no dramatic end to the relationship, its just over. They gave up and I was unable to reach out. We both quietly moved on. Next the self-centred ones stomped away. These are the friends that take everything personally. They assume you don’t want to see them, they take offence or get angry when you cancel plans. Maybe they don’t believe in your invisible illness or only want your company during good days. Usually, these end with argument including phrases like ‘if you really cared you would show up’ or ‘I’m always the one making an effort’. You pass each other in the street sometimes, its awkward, you don’t acknowledge each other. Now comes your own friendship cull. The pressure posse. The ones who drown you in messages when you just need space. Sometimes its mentally exhausting to respond to messages and engage in long conversations. I don’t always want to talk about myself, or how I’m feeling, or why I feel a certain way, because sometimes I don’t know the answer myself! You’re invading my space and I need to breath. I reply less and less and eventually stop entirely. I might hide/mute/block the particularly perseverant ones, depending on my guilt level. The ignorant. Friends who refuse to accept my mental health. These are the kind who are great fun to be around when I’m in the right frame of mind, but completely disappear the moment things get tough. They aren’t there when you really need them. The friendship remains, but usually through accidental meetings or social events with mutual friends. There’s no bad feeling. They’re relieved to be off the hook and you only see them at places you feel mentally prepared to attend. Its all cheerful reminiscing and zero obligation. Here comes the huge glowing silver lining of friendships when you suffer an illness.. The REAL ones! I am very lucky; I have narrowed down my friendship circle yes, it has massively decreased, but quality over quantity is a mantra fit for all aspects of life. There are two types of friendships I value above all others. Laidback long-termers. I have friends from as early as 1995 that I still call close. We don’t see each other often but when one of us is in need the other will be there in seconds. They don’t expect anything from you, there’s no time requirements, no guilt or anger even if you haven’t spoken in a long long time. One can pick up the phone after a year of silence and the other will answer on the second ring. I can bump into them in a shop and we’ll chat as if we saw each other last week. These are keepers. Supporters. These people are my life line. The people I can cancel on last minute and they understand. I don’t need an excuse, I can just tell them I don’t want to. They don’t ask questions or take offence, they just reschedule when I’m ready. They understand we might meet up for entire day-trips one week and only message once or twice in the next. Maybe I will call them last minute for a coffee, or maybe our only interaction will be funny meme tags. They are the ones I call to prevent panic attacks, they are the ones that will sit and listen or convince me I’m being irrational. We operate on blunt honesty and understanding. These aren’t just friends, now they are my family. An illness can make a friendship stronger when you find the right people.

The Miraculous Conversion By: Sam Vaknin, Ph.D. Malignant Self Love - Buy the Book - Click HERE!!! Relationships with Abusive Narcissists - Buy the e-Books - Click HERE!!! READ THIS: Scroll down to review a complete list of the articles - Click on the blue-coloured Bookmark this Page - and SHARE IT with Others! Go Back to "Digital Content on the Web" Home Page! The recent bloodbath among online content peddlers and digital media proselytisers can be traced to two deadly sins. The first was to assume that traffic equals sales. In other words, that a miraculous conversion will spontaneously occur among the hordes of visitors to a web site. It was taken as an article of faith that a certain percentage of this mass will inevitably and nigh hypnotically reach for their bulging pocketbooks and purchase content, however packaged. Moreover, ad revenues (more reasonably) were assumed to be closely correlated with "eyeballs". This myth led to an obsession with counters, page hits, impressions, unique visitors, statistics and demographics. It failed, however, to take into account the dwindling efficacy of what Seth Godin, in his brilliant essay ("Unleashing the IdeaVirus"), calls "Interruption Marketing" - ads, banners, spam and fliers. It also ignored, at its peril, the ethos of free content and open source prevalent among the Internet opinion leaders, movers and shapers. These two neglected aspects of Internet hype and culture led to the trouncing of erstwhile promising web media companies while their business models were exposed as wishful thinking. The second mistake was to exclusively cater to the needs of a highly idiosyncratic group of people (Silicone Valley geeks and nerds). The assumption that the USA (let alone the rest of the world) is Silicone Valley writ large proved to be calamitous to the industry. In the 1970s and 1980s, evolutionary biologists like Richard Dawkins and Rupert Sheldrake developed models of cultural evolution. Dawkins' "meme" is a cultural element (like a behaviour or an idea) passed from one individual to another and from one generation to another not through biological -genetic means - but by imitation. Sheldrake added the notion of contagion - "morphic resonance" - which causes behaviour patterns to suddenly emerged in whole populations. Physicists talked about sudden "phase transitions", the emergent results of a critical mass reached. A latter day thinker, Michael Gladwell, called it the "tipping point". Seth Godin invented the concept of an "ideavirus" and an attendant marketing terminology. In a nutshell, he says, to use his own summation: "Marketing by interrupting people isn't cost-effective anymore. You can't afford to seek out people and send them unwanted marketing, in large groups and hope that some will send you money. Instead the future belongs to marketers who establish a foundation and process where interested people can market to each other. Ignite consumer networks and then get out of the way and let them talk." This is sound advice with a shaky conclusion. The conversion from exposure to a marketing message (even from peers within a consumer network) - to an actual sale is a convoluted, multi-layered, highly complex process. It is not a "black box", better left unattended to. It is the same deadly sin all over again - the belief in a miraculous conversion. And it is highly US-centric. People in other parts of the world interact entirely differently. You can get them to visit and you get them to talk and you can get them to excite others. But to get them to buy - is a whole different ballgame. Dot.coms had better begin to study its rules. This material is copyrighted.

Welcome to Letterbox Love, this is a UK meme, hosted by the lovely Lynsey at Narratively Speaking and inspired by The Story Siren’s In My Mailbox. This post is a means by which to highlight the books we get in the post and beyond, and especially to bring attention to those books which may be sat on our shelves for a little while yet that we love all the same. As I was away last week the following books are from the past two weeks. Thank you to the publishers who sent me books this fortnight. This was sent unsolicited from Bloomsbury. I’m definitely gunna give it a go as it comes recommended by a few of my favourite current authors including Zoe Marriott and Tanya Byrne. I’m not entirely sure what its about but the blurb (which can be read by clicking the link) sounds good! This one was again sent from Bloomsbury, though this one was requested. I have loved Julia Green’s previous works and I’m hoping to love this one too! You should have seen how much I squealed when I opened the package containing this book…. oh man. I have waited over TWO YEARS for this book, I don’t know how I’ve managed to not read it since it arrived on Tuesday but I know its top of my to be read pile. Check out my review for the first book in this series, Ultraviolet, here. Thank you to Orchard for sending this so my wait can come to an end! This sounds really good and comes with the comparison to David Levithan and Aidan Chambers who I have read and loved. The author is Irelands Children’s Laureate and I can’t wait to give this one a read. Huge thanks to Hodder Children’s books for this one. I have heard a lot about Silver Linings Playbook since it was made into a film and loved the sound of it so I jumped at the change to feature Matthew Quick on my blog a couple of weeks ago… Then I got asked if I would like to review his new YA novel and after reading the blurb I could hardly say now… I have a lot of questions just from the blurb and I am looking forward to working out exactly whats going on there! Thanks Headline! This one sounds crazy and amazing all rolled into one. I love it when you can feel a characters personality ooze out from just a single quote and thats how I felt reading the blurb on the goodreads page of Friday Brown. Coming out in July by Hot Key this unfortunately has to wait a couple of weeks for me to get my June books read but I can’t wait for it! Another Hot Key book, Stray caught my eye from its cover; I will have to buy a finished copy when its out! The story sounds good but I am hoping that its even better than it sounds. Reviews have already appeared on goodreads suggesting this is the case though. This sounded very 9-12 fantasy when I read about it on the email I got about it and I think the cover kinda gives it that feeling but it is actually YA fantasy I believe… I am still looking forward to it though and it has definitely promise. Huge thanks to Hot Key for these three books, their catalogue has been really exciting since they started up and I’m honoured to be on their blogger list. Only one book bought this time… I went to an event from Walker books a few weeks ago and whilst there saw a video from Katie Dicamillo about her new book Flora and Ulysses and I loved the sound of that and Katie herself. Then when I was in a shop last weekend I saw this one and have heard people say that the movie is brilliant so I thought I’d treat myself to it. I am planning on reading it next and then watching the movie at some point so I can do a kinda joint review maybe!

Mini Ladd is a popular face on YouTube, boasting well over 5 million subscribers on the platform — but his extended hiatus from the site left viewers confused and concerned for the future of his content. Craig Thompson, better known by his online moniker “Mini Ladd,” boasts a variety of content on his channel, with everything from gaming videos to meme reactions, vlogs, and more earning him a dedicated fanbase. However, Thompson concerned his audience after announcing an unexpected break from making videos at the beginning of the new year, marking a sharp contrast to his usual upload schedule. Craig made this official announcement in a Tweet on January 15, writing, “…I’m taking my first break from YouTube in the 9 years I’ve been doing this. Life has got me messed up and i’ll be back when I know I can make good content again. I love you all. I wont be long.” Just over a month later, Thompson made his return to YouTube in an 11-minute video where he explained the myriad of issues behind his extended hiatus from the website. Just to keep you all posted, i’m taking my first break from YouTube in the 9 years i’ve been doing this. Life has got me messed up & i’ll be back when I know I can make good content again. I love you all. I wont be long. ❤️ — Craig Thompson (@MiniLaddd) January 15, 2020 According to the YouTuber, his life had gotten so hectic that he had to put the brakes on his content creation, citing his move to Los Angeles, his live tour, mental health, and travel for multiple projects as part of the problem. “I struggle a lot with mental health issues,” he began. “It’s not something to brush aside. It’s something you need to take seriously or else it’s going to catch up with you, and that’s exactly what happened. I was on tour, I was rushing videos out, I was just putting up anything I could. I wasn’t proud of the videos I was putting up.” That’s not all: he also explained that he’d broken up with longtime girlfriend and popular streamer Sami, who had taken their two dogs in the split as part of their mutual decision. “Are we still friends?” he continued. “Yeah. It was a clean breakup in the sense that we don’t hate each other. It’s not like we’re blocking each other or talking sh*t, or whatever.” While Thompson claimed he won’t be back with daily videos right away, he is “feeling good” after taking some time to recover, and fans are excited to see what he’s got in store for the future.

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer, and Showcase Sunday is hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea and inspired by Pop Culture Junkie and the Story Siren. They’re a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog, highlight our newest books and see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, or bought. Review: London Villages, Explore the City’s Best Local Neighbourhoods by Zena Alkayat Review: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel by Deborah Moggach Added to my shelves I got lots and lots of books this week, as with my new job I’ve been visiting lots of publishers. I won’t be sharing them all here yet though, since some of them still have release dates a long way off and I need to sort through them all. Aside from those, though, I got some great stuff through the post. My Secret Santa present arrived (organised by The Broke and The Bookish, and sent by Kirsty-Marie at Studio Reads). Here’s what Kirsty-Marie got me: I’ve been wanting The Raven Boys for absolutely ages, so I’m ecstatic to finally own a copy. I also got After Eden, which looks interesting. I have an uncorrected proof of this, but the proper version is so much more exciting looking. I also got a beautiful bookmark that’s got a really cute book charm on it (you can just see the bookmark on top of After Eden), and some chocolates, which aren’t in the picture. I’m a big fan of Joss Stirling’s Finding Sky series, and Oxford University Press this week sent me a copy of her new book, Storm & Stone, plus another upcoming release, Nikki Sheehan’s Who Framed Klaris Cliff? Both look great, I’m looking forward to reading them. And finally, one book given to me by one of the publishing houses I visited this week (Hachette UK) – I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb. I’m really looking forward to reading this one. What have you added to your shelves?

Each element can usually be classified as a metal or a non-metal based on their general Chemical and Physical Properties. The noble gases are group 18 on the periodic table, which is the column of elements on the right side of the table. The noble gases form the section of elements that immediately follow the actinide series, and since they were discovered after Mendeleyev had finished the Periodic Table, they were put at the end. These elements were considered to be inert gases until the 1960's, because their oxidation number of 0 prevents the noble gases from forming compounds readily. Related Topics on Inert Gases. They are the most stable due to having the maximum number of valence electrons their outer shell can hold. These elements are noble gases, sometimes called inert gases.Atoms belonging to the noble gas group have completely filled their outer electron shells.

The Group 18 elements have a particular name Noble gases. The lack of reactivity of the group 18 elements is so firmly established in the collective mind of the masses, the recognition of new noble gases brings in a lot of excitement. Noble Gas Chemical Properties. Noble Gas Chemical Properties. The 6 elements classified as "Noble Gases" are located in Group 18 of the Periodic Table. Noble gas is translated from the German noun Edelgas, first used in 1898 by Hugo Erdmann (1862 - 1910) to indicate their extremely low level of reactivity.The noble gases were often also called the inert gases, however, since noble gas compounds are now known this name is no longer used. The noble gases are another family of elements, and all of them are located in the far right column of the periodic table. Noble gas compounds are chemical compounds that include an element from the noble gases, group 18 of the periodic table.Although the noble gases are generally unreactive elements, many such compounds have been observed, particularly involving the element xenon. There are seven noble gas elements: helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, and oganesson. Since it appeared to belong to the noble gas family, it naturally attracted Ramsay’s attention. Noble gases are the least reactive chemical elements. While he had been studying the noble gases, several investigators – notably Ernest Rutherford and Pierre and Marie Curie – had found that some radioactive elements released a heavy gas, which Rutherford called ‘emanation’. Although these are the elements in the group nonmetals, there are two additional element groups that could be included, since the halogens and noble gases also are types of nonmetals.

Article by figosdev Summary: “However the benefits of Free software, complimentary sweet and new features are all worthless, if the user isn’t in control.” I‘m a fan of BASIC. In reality, my favourite contemporary language, now 5 years old, was initially called after Fundamental. While Dijkstra is popular for disliking on the language, it was his editor (Wirth, I think) who prompted years of clickbait titles by working the infamous line credited to Dijkstra into the top of his short article. I do not hate Dijkstra in return. And in more methods than one, it does not bother me that software application evolves. Whether it was his intent to save Basic or get people to use a better language instead, Basic itself isn’t hazardous. I am not versus features, per se. I’m also against restriction and the drug war. However the fantastic harm done by heroin can not be dismissed– it eliminates people, and although there is no law that states you need to attempt heroin, avoiding it isn’t always as basic as “simply don’t use it”. While I did discover Fundamental somewhat addictive in practice, I have actually not attempted heroin. I’ve definitely lived in locations where it was an issue. In fact, it’s an issue that tends to increase when the alternatives are battled harder against. GitHub could perhaps be the heroin of the Free software application world. We understand the harm it does, we’ve been warned about it for several years, there’s definitely no mandate to utilize it at all– yet individuals keep discovering themselves addicted to it. GitHub isn’t known a lot for eliminating people, but it poses a terrific risk to jobs that use it. What GitHub actually eliminates, is software application flexibility. I’ve composed a lot about GitHub recently, but in this short article it is just one example of a larger problem. Like with Basic, it is not “GitHub” itself, however some of its features that we need to stress over. And the warnings versus it have actually originated from Torvalds and Stallman alike. The complaints from Torvalds versus GitHub are closer to Dijkstra’s problems about Basic– GitHub motivates bad practices in Git management, and breaks existing features. That makes the critique much more notable. The fact that GitHub breaks Git the manner in which it does, fits in with a bigger problem of my own– even if Torvalds chooses (or is paid to) change his mind about it. It was established by Chris Wanstrath, however it was established along lines that are not totally various from Microsoft’s EEE strategies– which today I will offer a brand-new acronym and description for: 2. Include Bloat 3. Original Trashed It’s challenging conceptually to “take” Free software, because it (sort of, successfully) belongs to everybody. It’s not always Public Domain– copyleft is indicated to prevent that. The only way you can “take” totally free software is by taking it from everybody and restricting it again. That’s like “stealing” the ocean or the sky, and putting it someplace that individuals can’t get to it. This is what non-free software does. (You could also simply break the license terms, however I doubt Stallman would opt for the word “taking” or “theft” as a first choice to explain non-compliance). I developed this SABOTage acronym when I was going to sleep, and originally it was Steal, Add Bloat, Attack– I think spelling isn’t a strong point when I’m exhausted. This is what people do even in the Free software application world today; they take away compatibility (as GitHub did with some Git features Torvalds believes must work effectively), they add things that is much easier for a large corporation to host (Gitlab too, is awfully puffed up I’m scared– however it can be self-hosted at least) and they attack the original– by dragging everyone into GitHub (as it’s “better”). I truly do understand the appeal of GitHub– I’m a previous user. While the problems of Torvalds are relevant to this discussion, the problems by Richard Stallman are more crucial to me. In 2015, he stated to GNUstep designers: ” GitHub does things that are rather bad totally free software and is not thinking about changing them. If you want to move off Savannah, please select some other place.” This resulted in a shallow dispute on the merits of GitHub vs. alternatives, and Stallman argued that GitHub negatively affects the license choices individuals make. A single person replied that he was having an unrealistic expectation of GitHub, but this was the thing– we can make it about the style of GitHub, or we can take a look at the results. In effect, GitHub effectively gets people away from making great choices. Aside from the truth that running and promoting just Totally free software (yes, I’m familiar with Stallman’s newest short article on the topic) is among the objectives of the GNU Job, I believe there are worse features of GitHub. And I think that GNU projects that continue to use it unapologetically, such as GNU Radio and GNUstep, are proving that their developers DON’T appreciate your freedom, and do not represent (nor attain) the goals of the GNU Task. And the reality that Microsoft has spent years trying to co-opt and control Free software? Who truthfully appreciates that? However I understand that such Microsoft-neutral or Pro-Microsoft designers are not always agreed with by every designer on these tasks. In the circumstances of GNUstep, we are discussing the leader of the job who does not care about your liberty. I did say that GitHub was just an example; it’s a very huge example, though not the only one. It dominates jobs the very same method as empires dominate nations– by planting flags in whatever they want to own: This Techrights short article is from 2010, and though they have done this further back than that, and continue to do the exact same, Microsoft is still planting flags all over the place. It wishes to run your conferences. It wishes to host your code. It desires you to consent to its terms. It wants you to change your development to its heavily contrived, self-serving “requirements” from OOXML all the method back to Rich Text Format Once Again and once again, Microsoft “Takes” or “Steers” the advancement process itself so it can gain control (pronounced: “ownership”) of the software. It is a gradual process, where Microsoft has more and more impact till they dominate the task and with it, the user. This resembles the process where cults (or drug dependency) take control of individuals’s lives, and comparable to the procedure where narcissists interfere in the lives of others– by staking a claim and slowly dominating the individual or task. Then they Include Bloat– more features. I comprehend the draw of network results. That’s why larger federated instances of code hosts are going to be more popular than smaller sized instances. We actually require a mix– smaller circumstances to be simple to host and autonomous, bigger instances to draw people away from a lot more enormous code silos. We can’t get away from network results (much like the War on Drugs will never work) but we can make them much easier and less problematic (or much safer) to handle. Finally, the Original is trashed, and the SABOTage is total. I must thank Roy for motivating this article, today he made what I think about a minor error in sharing this: ” Kushal Das: A few new generation command line tools” #cli #freesw #gnu #linux ” New generation” indeed. (Initial Trashed). Let’s look at what these “new generation” command line tools resemble: ” … ripgrep was the very first Rust tool I began using daily as a replacement for grep” Excellent! a GitHub-based tool composed in Rust, which is also GitHub-based. Not unlike this illustrative effort to recreated GNU coreutils in Rust: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils ” Cross-platform Rust reword of the GNU coreutils”– and what’s the license? ” uutils/coreutils is licensed under the MIT License” ” A brief and easy permissive license with conditions just needing conservation of copyright and license notices. Accredited works, adjustments, and larger works may be dispersed under different terms and without source code.” ” And without source code.” Take, Add Bloat, Original Trashed. But there are still more little goodies from GitCrap that influenced this article: ” … exa is the replacement for ls.” Oh good, I was hoping to replace a standard GNU tool with something from Microsoft GitHub. Wonderful. ” … bat is the one stop replacement for feline and less.” It’s challenging for me to get thrilled about these “next generation” tools, when I invested numerous years working to GET AWAY from Microsoft, and they want me to get all my software application from GitHub. If I wished to get all my software from Microsoft and the rest of GIAFAM, I ‘d just use Windows. And speaking of, the coup continues today, with the brand-new COO at Microzilla: Adam Seligman– “formerly of Google, Salesforce, and Microsoft.” TERRIFIC! That’s also how they gradually took control of Nokia, Apache Software Application Foundation and became the boss of Linus [Editor’s note: Even the COO of GitHub now bosses Linus] Of course I don’t really blame Roy for sharing that link– there are numerous methods he ends up with things like that, and simply as typically it comes with a caution or grievance that it needs to Here’s something else to think about– the method that websites subtly (and sometimes innocently) add to the issue with useful Share icons (which I’m not entirely against). A coworker notifies me that one of the things that draws individuals to GitHub is the method that other websites make it much easier to integrate with it. They’re not going to bother enhancing smaller choices usually, they’re going to enhance the biggest one. So this practice itself– while technically and in theory neutral (as it could use numerous alternatives for code repos) really encourages monopoly in practice the majority of the time. I’m not truly against the practice– I protest its outcome. Which implies we ought to be sceptical or believe critically about the practice too. There’s a meme about creepy vans with “FREE CANDY” painted on the side, which I took among the images from and modified it so that it stated “FUNCTIONS” rather. This is more or less how I feel about brand-new functions in basic, offered my experience with their abuse in advancement, marketing and the takeover of previously good software tasks. Individuals then implicate me of being against functions, of course. I’m against these things being utilized as bait, to allure individuals in an unpleasant scenario that makes escape hard. You know, “lock-in”. Don’t get in the van– don’t even go NEAR the van. Sweet is nice, and some functions are great too. We would all be better off if we might get the sweet safely, and delete the weird horrible van that comes with it. That’s true whether the weird van is GitHub, or monitoring by GIAFAM, or a Leviathan “init” system, or just breaking decades of perfectly great Python code, to try to require people to establish in a different way since Google or Microsoft (who both have had heavy impact over more recent Python development) want to try to force you to– all while utilizing “free” software. If all that makes free software application “complimentary” is the license– (yes, it’s the primary and essential part, it’s a necessary ingredient) then putting “complimentary” software on GitHub shouldn’t be an issue? Not if you’re running LibreJS, a minimum of. In practice, “Free in license just” overlooks the truth that if software application is efficiently complimentary, the user is also efficiently free. If individuals are attempting to make the user less complimentary, and they’re effectively making the user less complimentary, possibly the license isn’t a reliable monolithic solution. The cost of flexibility is eternal caution. They never ever said “The expense of flexibility is slapping a free license on things”, as far as I understand. (Naturally it assists). This actually isn’t a straw man, even a counterclaim to the extremely glib take on software application freedom in general that penetrates advancement neighborhoods these days. However the advantages of Free software application, complimentary sweet and new functions are all meaningless, if the user isn’t in control. Do not get in the van. ” The flexibility to NOT run the software application, to be complimentary to prevent supplier lock-in through proper modularization/encapsulation and reduced dependences; implying any free software application can be changed with a user’s preferred options (liberty 4).”— Peter Boughton Long live rms, and delighted hacking. █ Share this post: These icons link to social bookmarking websites where readers can share and find new web pages.

Does The Programmer Have a Chance To Avoid Simple Mistakes? 27 May 2020 I have seen once such a meme: “If debugging serves to remove errors from the code, programming certainly involves inserting bugs into the code.” There is some truth in it. Modern IT systems implement a lot of very complex processes, it is very easy to make a mistake. The programmer creates a tool that can be used in different cases. Testers and then end users will apply this tool in a way that the author hadn’t even imagined before. Combining this with ordinary human error during software development creates a mix that sooner or later will always “explode”. So how should a programmer work so that the effects of his work are not negatively assessed after just a few clicks? Does the programmer have a chance to avoid simple mistakes? I have been creating a business application for companies and institutions for over 15 years. Over the years, I have developed a pattern that allows me to discover many simple errors at an early stage. This is a set of simple tests that significantly increases the quality of the produced software. Applied together with automatic tests (from unit to integration) they give a chance to eliminate many mistakes. Most consumer applications can be generalized according to the following scheme: No matter if we create a module of invoices, complaints, orders, reports, users, we can more or less always find the above pattern. I wrote the functionality, what’s next? The first problem that appears during simple tests performed by the programmer is the approach to the pattern of permissions. The programmer will perform the test using the role with the highest permission. In this way, I want to check if all components are working properly. It is a mistake to stop at such testing. Majority of future users will operate on the minimum permission required. It is worth enriching the basic check of the new functionality with the lowest possible permission to perform a given operation. Such a test allows to: - verify if the system of user rights and roles works properly, - check if items available only to the administrator will be properly hidden or deactivated, - verify whether the lack of administrative data is an obstacle to the application’s operation, - check if, for example, the record passes successfully for a user with the rights different than the administrator’s rights. A perceptive reader will probably immediately think about the roles of users who can do more than the lowest role, but are not administrators. Should the programmer check all possible cases? Yes, because he or she should verify if the settings work for other roles or claims. No, because he or she does not have to log into the system thoroughly for every possible type of user verifying the operation. What about the other cases? Cold calculation of the code and delegation the functionality to a tester allow to eliminate most errors in this area. The ability to create new and to edit existing elements is the basic functionality of each module. By performing the following simple tests many different cases of application can be verified. When testing a user form (or dedicated API) for creating or editing, it is worth following the path below: - Minimal filling — only required fields — allows to check whether such a set of data is really enough? - Maximum filling — allows you to check if all data are saved? - Boundary conditions for fields — allows to check if validation works as expected. - Positive test — allows you to check if the system works for correct data? - Negative test — allows you to check if the system stops working for incorrect data and correctly informs the user about it? - Save — allows you to check if the change will actually be saved in a database? - Update — allows to check if the object will be modified? - Delete — allows you to check if the object can be deleted? - Navigation — allows you to check if the transitions are working properly, in the case of the form, you can check it for in and out? It should be a good practice to verify such operations as: saving, modifying or deleting directly on the database. When verifying the record, it is worth verifying that the data is being written to the appropriate columns and whether they are read and displayed correctly. This is to eliminate mistakes in the style of saving the net amount in the place for the gross amount and vice versa. In the above method it is not possible to check all test cases, but it is possible to check if all the applied mechanisms work. At the testing stage, we should receive the answer whether these mechanisms are working properly. Another very common element to check is the list of elements, the table. Very often it will be a view from which you go to the edit form. Here you can again talk about a simple list of tests that allow for an initial assessment of the programmer’s work effect: - Fetching data — we check if the data is in each column? - Filtering / Searching — we check if the search engine returns filtered data? - Pagination — we check if the paging mechanism works, and, whether filtering also works on subsequent pages? - Transitions — we check if you can go to details etc.? - Going to editing — allows you to check whether the user will be redirected to the correct record according to his authorization level? At this stage, it is also worth checking if there is a mistake regarding the assignment of data to the appropriate columns in the appropriate format — here it is very easy to make a mistake. The Report, The printout All types of printouts, reports, statements are very difficult to test and verify. It is necessary to prepare a set of test data and maintain it at a level adequate to the current state of application development. This will keep the data source in a state that allows you to verify, for example, invoice printout or a sales report over a given period. How to construct such a set of test data: - Minimal — an object containing only the minimum data necessary for its recording. - Maximum — an object containing all possible data. - Most common — an object that contains a set of the most common data if it can be defined. - In a different language version — at least one object in a different language version if the system provides such a possibility. Because work on e.g. the invoice module can be significantly extended in time, it is also worth updating the status of your own test data set with subsequent system updates. Contrary to appearances, this allows you to significantly save time by being constantly ready for testing. After preparing the script or package updating the database and running it on the development machine, I strongly recommend that you should do this test also on the test machine. Configuration or server versions may differ between the development environment and the server. Verification of changes is a must. Debug — Release We are happy to use conditional compilation. It allows, for example, to write code that will perform the required task step by step — just in time for the needs of the debugger. This carries the risk of not adapting the code changes to the Release version. Therefore, checking tests should be done in Release mode. Surprisingly, you can do such tests on the programmer’s computer. Modern systems are very complex and carry out very complex tasks. However, they can be systematized into fragments that can be described as successive CRUD elements. By using the presented set of simple tests you can eliminate many errors. In addition, by testing at a low level of permissions in a production-close environment, you can avoid many unpleasant surprises. I encourage you to create your own list of steps to verify the new code.

It is time for the big blog post. With 2015 coming to an end, today I countdown my top ten posts of the year. In my 2014 edition, I had 253 entries to choose from. This year I have 252. How about that for posting consistency? I am making a small change to this year’s top ten. Instead of going in chronological order like last year, I will list the posts countdown style. Yes, this year I will name my top post of 2015. Before we reveal the best of the best, I want to give a genuine thank you to all my readers. I sincerely appreciate your loyalty and support. Each year readership goes up and my motivation to write becomes greater and greater. Thank you. As I did last year, I went through all my blog posts I wrote in 2015. From there I wrote my favorite 20 on a piece of paper and then selected finalists. Although my top favorite was never in question, it was competitive filling out the rest of the countdown. Enjoy. 10. Top Ten Mistakes Made By Social Media Professionals (November 17): I start my top ten list with another top ten list. In November, I wrote a blog post listing the ten mistakes that plague social media professionals the most. While I thought the content itself was good and helpful, this post stands out because I got a little creative/weird. I created and starred in a meme for each blunder, an endeavor that was both fun and time consuming. 9. Premium vs. Knockoff Showdown (June 7): Needing a blog post idea one Sunday, I went to the store and filled my cart with name brand snacks such as Cheetos, Pop Tarts, and Fruity Pebbles. I also threw in the generic counterpart of each product as well. I then took it all to Sidney’s house and gave her a blind taste test of the real deal and the knockoff. It was a fun experiment with a very definite result. 8. A Visit From Santa and His Elf (December 23): Although I wrote this just a week ago today, it is memorable and special enough to make the countdown. My brother was nice enough to let Sidney and I come to his workplace, the Northeast Youth Center, and visit the kids. However, we channeled our alter egos for this particular appearance. I dressed up as Santa and Sid dressed up as an elf. Once at the center we surprised the children and then read to them. The hugs we received after we passed out the candy canes will be something we always remember regardless of whether I wrote this post or not. 7. The Best Way to Prepare for Marriage (November 25): At the conclusion of our Pre-Cana classes that Sidney and I took to prepare for marriage, I wrote this blog post about how enriching the experience was. Having a great sponsor couple in Tim and Kathy McCormick was a huge blessing and left us very happy that we took this route to allow us to marry in the Catholic church in June. I think my enthusiasm is evident in the post. 6. The Fake Brent Reser (May 13): This particular blog post makes the countdown because it illustrated the power and dedication of my readers. In May, I was alerted by a friend that a fake profile of myself was circulating on Facebook. It used my name and likeness but contained loads of bogus information and corny status updates. I asked you to help me out and report the profile to Facebook. Thanks to my readers, within 24 hours the impostor social media account had been removed. 5. A Great NCAA Tournament Experience in Omaha (March 22): I had the honor of traveling with the Coastal Carolina men’s basketball team to the NCAA Tournament in March. As I have said on numerous occasions, attending the Big Dance in a working capacity is a major highlight for anyone with a career in intercollegiate athletics/higher education. I had a terrific experience as I enjoyed my time in Nebraska with many great people from the Chanticleer athletic department. Every moment (except for the loss to #1 Wisconsin) was great, but perhaps my best highlight was engaging in a Twitter dialogue with the rival school that generated lots of positive attention for CCU. 4. Twins or Not? (March 3): I still get made fun of for this one! I hired twins to produce a commercial for Don’t Blink. Well, rather I hired a person to produce a commercial for Don’t Blink. Billed as a video ad starring two twins, Sidney immediately called “fraud” when she watched it. She bluntly told me that it was the same girl playing both parts. I asked my readers to weigh in and they overwhelmingly supported Sid. I was duped! 3. Blog Takeover: Dating a Blogger (August 9): This year, after much convincing from my fiance, Don’t Blink debuted a new feature. Each month on a Sunday, Sidney writes a guest post for my blog. Although I have loved every post she has written, her initial one will always hold a spot in my heart. She explained the “peaks and pits” of dating a blogger. It was so funny and honest that it became an instant classic in Don’t Blink history. It was after the overwhelmingly positive reaction to this post that we decided to extend the “blog takeover” concept to a monthly basis. 2. The Triumph of Sean Carty and the Community (May 22): During the spring, I blogged several times about Sean Carty, the former head football coach at Mead High School. Starting with a post titled Feeling Bad for Coach Carty, I did what I could to keep my former high school football teammates and other community members updated on the road Sean took to fight back against the screw job inflicted upon him by a few bitter parents. When the truth came out and the motives of the small number of moms and dads were exposed, Coach Carty was reinstated as the head coach. This blog post captured the sweet feeling of vindication and what can happen when the community unites together. After the battle was won and the message sent, Carty would later gracefully resign to spend more time with his family. 1. The Proposal (June 24) – There was never a doubt. By a large margin, this is my top post of 2015. When you write about the best moment in your life, the words just come easy. The Proposal was written with love and euphoria. It received an amazing social media response and it will be something that Sidney and I look back on and read for the rest of our lives. It is #1 for another reason too. Shortly after Sidney and I got engaged, her grandmother passed away. Sid’s mom told me that the family used the blog post to give them some relief and joy during the difficult time. When I write my top posts of the decade in 2020, The Proposal will probably be #1 as well. It was quite the year for Don’t Blink! If you have any memorable posts from 2015 that I did not cover, please let me know. Enjoy the rest of 2015 and be sure to catch my first post of 2016. Don’t Blink.

The European elections saw gains by the far right, far left, libertarians, and radical populists. The common thread was opposition to the budding continental empire of the EU and its dominance by the neoliberal plutocracy. The Europeans need the message of anarcho-pluralism and pan-secessionism as much as Americans do. This looks like a job for the national-anarchists. The conventional wisdom is nearly always wrong, and rarely so wrong as when it comes to the EU elections, the results of which are being trumpeted as the triumph of the “far right.” The more alarmist among these uniformly pro-EU commentators are even claiming neo-fascism in Europe is on the march. Well, they’re at least half right: something is on the march. They just don’t know what it is. The “far right” meme is based on the results in France, where the National Front of Marine le Pen has for the first time won a plurality of seats in the European Parliament, and this news is usually coupled with panic-stricken reports of UKIP’s sweep across the Channel. Yet the two parties have nearly nothing in common except for opposition to the euro and the European project. The French Front is statist, protectionist, and carries red banners in the streets on May Day. UKIP is a quasi-free market split from the Tories, pro-free market and vaguely Little Englander. They aren’t opposed to immigration per se: they just want immigrants with assets, as opposed to the poorer variety. The only thing these two movements have in common is opposition to the rule of Brussels, but that is quite enough for the Eurocrats and their journalistic camarilla to cast them in the role of volatile “extremists,” dangerous “populists” out to tear apart the “social fabric” of Europe. One prominent Eurocrat, the former Prime Minister of Luxembourg, foresees a replay of 1914: “I am chilled by the realization of how similar the crisis of 2013 is to that of 100 years ago,” intones Jean-Claude Juncker. While there aren’t many Archdukes left to assassinate, whatever the similarities to 1914, the so-called right-wing populists have little to do with it. Indeed, it is the EU, in seeking to assert itself as an international power, that has ratcheted up the war danger by challenging Russia in Ukraine, allying with Washington to push NATO to the very gates of Moscow. In opposing the EU’s very existence, these parties – whatever their other characteristics – are taking on the forces that make war more likely. And while a good number of these emerging parties may be fairly characterized as “right-wing populist,” this generalization doesn’t hold at all when one looks at the details. Yes, the National Democratic Party of Germany, a group with clear neo-Nazi sympathies, has entered the European Parliament for the first time: yet that has little to do with the minor uptick in their vote total and much more to do with German election law, recently revised to lower the threshold for being granted seats (from five percent to one percent). On the other hand, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), a party opposed to the euro albeit not necessarily to the political concept of the EU, garnered six percent: AfD is a split from the now politically irrelevant Free Democrats, whose leading lights are economists and academics rather than skinheads. It is a party that came out of nowhere and has now displaced the Free Democrats as Germany’s rising third force – yet the NPD gets all the publicity. The reason is because the NPD’s negligible gains fit the preordained theme of the news coverage, the meme adopted by the media elite and handed down from on high. The idea that “right-wing populism” or even neo-fascism is on the march due to the results of the European elections is never so nonsensical as when it is applied to Italy, where Beppe Grillo’s “Five Star” movement came in with 21 percent of the vote, an astounding total given the party’s brief history and scant resources. The Five Starists are a unique combination of Euro-skepticism, populism (they favor direct democracy via the Internet), and outright cynicism, Italian-style. And while the 40 percent garnered by the pro-EU Democratic party is being hailed by the media and the Eurocrats (or do I repeat myself?) as a great victory, that the Five Stars managed to even approximate their last vote total without much institutional backing was in itself a major accomplishment. My point, however, is that Italy has real fascist parties, none of which registered above a few percent in the recent election. Another example of this nonsensical “immigrant-bashing-neo-fasicsts-are-on-the-rise” line being handed out by Brussels is Greece, where, it’s true, the openly fascist semi-criminal “Golden Dawn” party polled nearly 10 percent. Yet these same alarmists downplay the victory – by four percentage points – of Syriza, a far-left outfit, over the ruling center-right coalition: the usual excuse given is that the margin isn’t considered big enough for an “upset.” Syriza is described in news accounts as an “anti-austerity” party, a bit of a euphemism that downplays its origins as a coalition of Communists, Trotskyists, and other far-left grouplets. In Poland, the controversial Janusz Korwin-Mikke and his “New Right” party combine a quasi-libertarian domestic program with outright opposition to the EU and a mean streak of misogynistic notions about women and sexuality that have won the party notoriety: they won 7 percent of the vote, thus ensuring them seats. They are the Polish version of UKIP: the same goes for the Danish Peoples Party, which won 27 percent and doubled its seats. The neo-fascist British National Party lost all its seats this time around. However, a kernel of truth abides in the conventional wisdom: there is indeed a rising fascist presence in European politics, and it is not confined to France’s National Front, which is not openly fascist in any case. There is a geographical factor involved in this trend: the most successful fascist parties are those in southeastern Europe, including not only Golden Dawn but Hungary’s Jobbik party – which is openly anti-Semitic and looks to the pro-Nazi collaborationists of World War II for inspiration. The Austrian Freedom Party, founded by Jorge Haidar, gained 27 percent, doubling its representation in the European Parliament. Under Haidar’s leadership, the party was more like UKIP than BNP, but in recent years has veered more toward the Geert Wilders model – whose own Dutch anti-Muslim movement, by the way, fared pretty badly. That none of these mostly West European parties, including Le Pen’s National Front, has the slightest chance of actually coming to power doesn’t stop the “progressive” left from sounding the alarm – just hearing it galvanizes their followers and confirms them in the knowledge that anyone to their right is a racist homophobic misogynist with a secret yen for World War II memorabilia. Their big blind spot, however, is apparent when their gaze turns eastward, and particularly where it concerns the EU’s latest conquest – Ukraine. I had to laugh when I saw the tweets from the usual suspects hailing the presidential election results in Ukraine as proof fascism has no presence in that country. The presidential contest hardly measured the Ukrainian fascists’ actual strength: the real test will come later, with parliamentary elections and the progress of the EU’s “austerity” program. In the meantime, the Svoboda (Freedom) party has seven supporters in the “interim” government, which will probably be unchanged until and unless parliamentary elections are held. Originally the “Social National” party (i.e. national socialist, wink wink!), Svoboda holds 35 seats in the Rada (parliament), the result of their 10 percent vote total last time around. After playing such a key role in the Maidan protests, their vote total is bound to go up, and indeed the victory of the so-called Chocolate King, the oligarch Petro Poroshenko, in the presidential election will pave the way for their future success. A pretty sleazy character in his own right, the filthy-rich Poroshenko will preside over EU-dictated terms of austerity that promise to be fertile ground for precisely the sort of Weimar-like “populism” the Eurocrats are warning against. Thus the Euro-elites dig their own graves – which one wouldn’t mind at all if they didn’t insist on taking so many innocents with them. The reaction against the EU project on both the right and the left is easily explained: people don’t trust big institutions, particularly of the governmental variety. The bigger they are, the more people resent and resist them. The EU is often portrayed by its boosters as the prerequisite for Europe fully entering modernity, leaving behind the old detritus of national borders and cultural particularities and moving to embrace a Brave New World. Yet the Eurocrats uphold an old-fashioned conception of modernity, one born before the computer age empowered individuals and fostered the merits of decentralized decision-making. Just look at the decision by some idiotic Spanish judge to censor the Google search engine: these people just don’t get it, do they? All this baloney about how failure to recognize the supremacy of Brussels risks a replay of the Great War represents a severe case of projection. The foreign policy of the EU has been consistently aggressive and expansionist. This is underscored not only by Brussels’ recent Ukrainian foray but also by its ambitions of absorbing Georgia. And don’t forget the on-again off-again ascension of Turkey to full EU status, long a project on the Eurocrats’ agenda: the idea is to pair NATO membership with EU membership in a discount package deal. It is of course entirely laughable that Turkey is European in any respect: but power politics trumps culture and even language, at least among the Euro-elites. As the EU charges eastward, it won’t be long before they’ll be claiming the “president” of Kazakhstan a long lost European brother.

A new app from Facebook’s new products division looks an awful lot like Pinterest, The Information reports. Hobbi is a photo-sharing app where you can “capture and organize your creative process” like cooking, baking, arts and crafts, fitness or home decor, according to its page in the App Store. Aimed at hobbyists, the app organizes photos of projects into collections so users can track their progress over time, TechCrunch notes. It doesn’t have a social sharing component, but Hobbi can be used to create videos of projects after they’re finished. Facebook introduced its New Product Experimentation team last summer to develop experimental apps outside of the company’s core brands. So far its products have included a meme-making app called Whale, social networking app Bump, and music DJ app Aux. None have achieved significant success. Hobbi was released first in Colombia, Belgium, Spain, and Ukraine, according to The Information; we found it in the App Store on a US-based phone Thursday evening. It’s compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices running iOS 11.0 or later. How or if Hobbi would fit into Facebook’s overall brand isn’t clear, but the company has said previously it would “expect many failures” from its NPE, and that apps could be shut down if they’re not useful.

If you already donate: THANK YOU.| “Fearlessness is what love seeks,” Hannah Arendt wrote in her superb 1929 meditation on love and how to live with the fundamental fear of loss. “Such fearlessness exists only in the complete calm that can no longer be shaken by events expected of the future… Hence the only valid tense is the present, the Now.” Half a century before her, Leo Tolstoy — who befriended a Buddhist monk late in life and became deeply influenced by Buddhist philosophy — echoed these ancient truths as he contemplated the paradoxical nature of love: “Future love does not exist. Love is a present activity only.” That in love and in life, freedom from fear — like all species of freedom — is only possible within the present moment has long been a core teaching of the most ancient Eastern spiritual and philosophical traditions. It is one of the most elemental truths of existence, and one of those most difficult to put into practice as we move through our daily human lives, so habitually inclined toward the next moment and the mentally constructed universe of expected events — the parallel universe where anxiety dwells, where hope and fear for what might be eclipse what is, and where we cease to be free because we are no longer in the direct light of reality. The relationship between freedom, fear, and love is what Alan Watts (January 6, 1915–November 16, 1973) explores in one of the most insightful chapters of The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety (public library) — his altogether revelatory 1951 classic, which introduced Eastern philosophy to the West with its lucid and luminous case for how to live with presence. Alan Watts, early 1970s (Image courtesy of Everett Collection) Drawing on his admonition against the dangers of the divided mind — the mindset that divides us into interior self-awareness and external reality, into ego and universe, which is the mindset the whole of Western culture has instilled in us — he writes: The meaning of freedom can never be grasped by the divided mind. If I feel separate from my experience, and from the world, freedom will seem to be the extent to which I can push the world around, and fate the extent to which the world pushes me around. But to the whole mind there is no contrast of “I” and the world. There is just one process acting, and it does everything that happens. It raises my little finger and it creates earthquakes. Or, if you want to put it that way, I raise my little finger and also make earthquakes. No one fates and no one is being fated. This model of freedom is orthogonal to our conditioned view that freedom is a matter of bending external reality to our will by the power of our choices — controlling what remains of nature once the “I” is separated out. Watts draws a subtle, crucial distinction between freedom and choice: What we ordinarily mean by choice is not freedom. Choices are usually decisions motivated by pleasure and pain, and the divided mind acts with the sole purpose of getting “I” into pleasure and out of pain. But the best pleasures are those for which we do not plan, and the worst part of pain is expecting it and trying to get away from it when it has come. You cannot plan to be happy. You can plan to exist, but in themselves existence and non-existence are neither pleasurable nor painful. Stripped of the paraphernalia of circumstance and interpretation, our internal experience of being unfree stems from attempting impossible things — things that resist reality and refuse to accept the present moment on its own terms. Watts writes: The sense of not being free comes from trying to do things which are impossible and even meaningless. You are not “free” to draw a square circle, to live without a head, or to stop certain reflex actions. These are not obstacles to freedom; they are the conditions of freedom. I am not free to draw a circle if perchance it should turn out to be a square circle. I am not, thank heaven, free to walk out of doors and leave my head at home. Likewise I am not free to live in any moment but this one, or to separate myself from my feelings. Without the motive forces of pleasure and pain, it might at first appear paradoxical to make any decisions at all — a contradiction that makes it impossible to choose between options as we navigate even the most basic realities of life: Why choose to take the umbrella into the downpour, why choose to eat this piece of mango and not this piece of cardboard? But Watts observes that the only real contradiction is of our own making as we cede the present to an imagined future. More than half a century before psychologists came to study how your present self is sabotaging your future happiness, Watts offers the personal counterpart to Albert Camus’s astute political observation that “real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present,” and writes: I fall straight into contradiction when I try to act and decide in order to be happy, when I make “being pleased” my future goal. For the more my actions are directed towards future pleasures, the more I am incapable of enjoying any pleasures at all. For all pleasures are present, and nothing save complete awareness of the present can even begin to guarantee future happiness. You can only live in one moment at a time, and you cannot think simultaneously about listening to the waves and whether you are enjoying listening to the waves. Contradictions of this kind are the only real types of action without freedom. Only with such a recalibration of our reflexive view of freedom does James Baldwin’s insistence that “people are as free as they want to be” begin to unfold its layered meaning like a Zen koan, to be turned over in the mind until the deceptively simple shape unfolds its origami-folded scroll of deep truth. In what may be the most elegant refutation of the particular strain of hubris that embraces determinism in order to wring from it the self-permission for living with delirious freedom from responsibility, Watts writes: There is another theory of determinism which states that all our actions are motivated by “unconscious mental mechanisms,” and that for this reason even the most spontaneous decisions are not free. This is but another example of split-mindedness, for what is the difference between “me” and “mental mechanisms” whether conscious or unconscious? Who is being moved by these processes? The notion that anyone is being motivated comes from the persisting illusion of “I.” The real man*, the organism-in-relation-to-the-universe, is this unconscious motivation. And because he is it, he is not being moved by it. Events look inevitable in retrospect because when they have happened, nothing can change them. Yet the fact that I can make safe bets could prove equally well that events are not determined but consistent. In other words, the universal process acts freely and spontaneously at every moment, but tends to throw out events in regular, and so predictable, sequences. Only by such a misapprehension of freedom, Watts observes, do we ever feel unfree: When we enter a state that causes us psychological pain, our immediate impulse is to get the “I” out of the pain, which is invariably a resistance to the present moment as it is; because we cannot will a different psychological state, we reach for an easy escape: a drink, a drug, a compulsive scroll through an Instagram feed. All the ways in which we try to abate our feelings of abject loneliness and boredom and inadequacy by escaping from the present moment where they unfold are motivated by the fear that those intolerable feelings will subsume us. And yet the instant we become motivated by fear, we become unfree — we are prisoners of fear. We are only free within the bounds of the present moment, with all of its disquieting feelings, because only in that moment can they dissipate into the totality of integrated reality, leaving no divide between us as feelers and the feelings being felt, and therefore no painful contrast between preferred state and actual state. Watts writes: So long as the mind believes in the possibility of escape from what it is at this moment, there can be no freedom. It sounds as if it were the most abject fatalism to have to admit that I am what I am, and that no escape or division is possible. It seems that if I am afraid, then I am “stuck” with fear. But in fact I am chained to the fear only so long as I am trying to get away from it. On the other hand, when I do not try to get away I discover that there is nothing “stuck” or fixed about the reality of the moment. When I am aware of this feeling without naming it, without calling it “fear,” “bad,” “negative,” etc., it changes instantly into something else, and life moves freely ahead. The feeling no longer perpetuates itself by creating the feeler behind it. To dissolve into this total reality of the moment is the crucible of freedom, which is in turn the crucible of love. In consonance with Toni Morrison’s insistence that the deepest measure of freedom is loving anything and anyone you choose to love and with that classic, exquisite Adrienne Rich sonnet line — “no one’s fated or doomed to love anyone” — Watts considers the ultimate reward of this undivided mind: The further truth that the undivided mind is aware of experience as a unity, of the world as itself, and that the whole nature of mind and awareness is to be one with what it knows, suggests a state that would usually be called love… Love is the organizing and unifying principle which makes the world a universe and the disintegrated mass a community. It is the very essence and character of mind, and becomes manifest in action when the mind is whole… This, rather than any mere emotion, is the power and principle of free action. Complement this fragment of the timelessly rewarding The Wisdom of Insecurity with Watts on learning not to think in terms of gain and loss and finding meaning by accepting the meaninglessness of life, then revisit Seneca on the antidote to anxiety and astronomer Rebecca Elson’s almost unbearably beautiful poem “Antidotes to Fear of Death.” The Herd, the Hive, and the Human Spirit: Eula Biss on Immunity, Sanity, and Health as Communal Trust Months after Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring awakened humanity to the delicate interdependence of nature, Dr. King awakened humanity to our delicate dependence on each other. “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality [and] whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly,” he wrote from his cell at the Birmingham City Jail. When Robert Hooke looked at a piece of cork through an early handcrafted leather-and-gold microscope in 1665, he named the strange irregular “pores” of its honeycomb-like tissue structure cells, after the small adjacent spaces in which monks spend their voluntary solitary confinement. It would take another two centuries for scientists to discover that cells are the basic biological units of life, that they are in constant osmotic communication with one another, and that they replicate themselves to become new cells, each a whispered word from the language in which life talks to the future. Cork structure from Robert Hooke’s Micrographia, 1665. (Available as a print.) Biological and social, our interdependence is a defining feature not only of our civilization, not only of our species and all living species, but of life itself — life the physiological process and life the psychosocial phenomenon. “Every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you,” Walt Whitman exulted in the golden age of chemistry — the new science he saw as “the elevating, beautiful, study… which involves the essences of creation.” Meanwhile, the development of cell theory was revolutionizing biology, making of this philosophical field as old as Aristotle an even newer science that illuminated the essence of life. Cells became to biology what atoms were to chemistry. Biology ushered in the revelation that every cell belonging to me as good — as healthy, as vital, as fit for replication — belongs to you. That delicate interdependence of life and lives, with its tangled roots in biology and cultural history, is what Eula Biss explores in On Immunity: An Inoculation (public library) — a book of penetrating and poetic insight, drawn with that rare scholarship capable of correcting the warped cultural hindsight we call history; a book of staggering foresight, conceived in the wake of the H1N1 flu pandemic, yet speaking with astonishing prescience to the complex epidemiological realities and social dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic unfolding more than five years after its publication. For Biss — the daughter of a medical scientist and a poet — even her own biological inheritance as a universal donor with type O negative blood becomes a potent metaphor for the mechanism of vaccination, a lens through which to view the permeable membrane between the biological and social realities of immunity. With an eye to the blood banks that collect her donations to save other lives, she writes: If we imagine the action of a vaccine not just in terms of how it affects a single body, but also in terms of how it affects the collective body of a community, it is fair to think of vaccination as a kind of banking of immunity. Contributions to this bank are donations to those who cannot or will not be protected by their own immunity. This is the principle of herd immunity, and it is through herd immunity that mass vaccination becomes far more effective than individual vaccination. It is a rather unfortunate term for an unassailable scientific principle — we humans, especially in this culture of rugged individualism nursed on the Emersonian ideal of self-reliance, bristle at thinking of ourselves as members of a herd. In our long history of thinking with animals, herd animals have been the butt of our derogatory metaphors for mindless conformity. Art by Olivier Tallec from Louis I, King of the Sheep And yet inside the unfortunate linguistic container, an unfaltering biological reality resides: On large enough a scale, even a fairy ineffective vaccine that fails to produce immunity in some individuals will slow down the spread of infection in the community; as the virus fails to replicate itself in more and more new hosts, the vaccine will eventually halt it altogether. In consequence, even such a mediocre vaccine will protect all members of the community, even those for whom inoculation has not worked as intended on the individual level. This is why it is more dangerous to be the vaccinated animal amid a largely unvaccinated herd than the other way around. Biss writes: The unvaccinated person is protected by the bodies around her, bodies through which disease is not circulating. But a vaccinated person surrounded by bodies that host disease is left vulnerable to vaccine failure or fading immunity. We are protected not so much by our own skin, but by what is beyond it. The boundaries between our bodies begin to dissolve here. Donations of blood and organs move between us, exiting one body and entering another, and so too with immunity, which is a common trust as much as it is a private account. Those of us who draw on collective immunity owe our health to our neighbors. With an eye to the origin of herd immunity theory — a theory developed in the 1840s by a doctor treating smallpox, which has taken manyfold more human lives than any other infectious disease in the history of our species and which has since been eradicated — Biss proposes an alternative, both more poetic and more precise, to the imperfect term that so perfectly describes the biosocial reality: Herd immunity, an observable phenomenon, now seems implausible only if we think of our bodies as inherently disconnected from other bodies. Which, of course, we do. The very expression herd immunity suggests that we are cattle, waiting, perhaps, to be sent to slaughter. And it invites an unfortunate association with the term herd mentality, a stampede toward stupidity. The herd, we assume, is foolish. Those of us who eschew the herd mentality tend to prefer a frontier mentality in which we imagine our bodies as isolated homesteads that we tend either well or badly. The health of the homestead next to ours does not affect us, this thinking suggests, so long as ours is well tended. If we were to exchange the metaphor of the herd for a hive, perhaps the concept of shared immunity might be more appealing. Honeybees are matriarchal, environmental do-gooders who also happen to be entirely interdependent. The health of any individual bee, as we know from the recent epidemic of colony collapse, depends on the health of the hive. Diagram of bee anatomy by French artist Paul Sougy, 1962. (Available as a print.) Biss quotes a succinct summation by her father, a doctor: Vaccination works by enlisting a majority in the protection of a minority. No one person has done more to undermine this vital mutuality of protection than Andrew Wakefield — the British gastroenterologist who, in the 1990s, infected the hive mind with his causal claims linking vaccines and autism. Preying on the understandable human impulse toward concretizing blame for amorphous and ambiguous problems, the theory went viral before multiple subsequent studies debunked his results, before it was exposed that Wakefield was paid for his research by a lawyer readying a lawsuit against a vaccine maker, before the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom concluded its investigation with the verdict that Wakefield had been “irresponsible and dishonest” in conducting and publishing his work. Despite the scientific and ethical denunciation of Wakefield’s study, its ideological meme had already spread beyond retrieval. (Richard Dawkins coined the word meme in 1976 by borrowing from biology — a word that came alive anew a quarter century later in the context of “viral” content on the internet, which has its own roots in epidemiology.) A quarter century later, echoes of Wakefield’s disproven falsehoods bellow with formidable vocality. That group of voices is often referred to as the anti-vaccination movement, but I find the term movement extremely ill-suited — such groupthink is not in movement but static, frozen in time and frozen with fear, petrified in the cultural amber of a time before the Age of Reason and lashed about by the same errors of magical thinking, willful blindness, and confusion of causation and correlation that made our medieval ancestors take comets for indisputable omens of future events and left-handedness for indisputable evidence of possession by the Devil. Biss is more generous in her own assessment of anti-vaccination: Those who went on to use Wakefield’s inconclusive work to support the notion that vaccines cause autism are not guilty of ignorance or science denial so much as they are guilty of using weak science as it has always been used — to lend false credibility to an idea that we want to believe for other reasons. Writing shortly after the birth of the Occupy movement — the self-described “99%” launching “an ongoing global protest of capitalism” — she considers a friend’s half-joke, half-koan about vaccination as a matter of “occupy immune system,” and reflects on the basic moral syllogism of anti-vaccination as a political stance claiming to protest the capitalist forces behind modern medicine: Immunity is a public space. And it can be occupied by those who choose not to carry immunity. For some… a refusal to vaccinate falls under a broader resistance to capitalism. But refusing immunity as a form of civil disobedience bears an unsettling resemblance to the very structure the Occupy movement seeks to disrupt — a privileged 1 percent are sheltered from risk while they draw resources from the other 99 percent. We are justified in feeling threatened by the unlimited expansion of industry, and we are justified in fearing that our interests are secondary to corporate interests. But refusal of vaccination undermines a system that is not actually typical of capitalism. It is a system in which both the burdens and the benefits are shared across the entire population. Vaccination allows us to use the products of capitalism for purposes that are counter to the pressures of capital. Emissary by Maria Popova In a lovely antidote to the tragic human tendency toward cynicism — that touchingly misguided and ineffective effort at self-protection, that particularly virulent strain of cowardice to which our culture has grown increasingly hospitable as it has grown increasingly impatient with the slow and vulnerable work of nuance — Biss adds: That so many of us find it entirely plausible that a vast network of researchers and health officials and doctors worldwide would willfully harm children for money is evidence of what capitalism is really taking from us. Capitalism has already impoverished the working people who generate wealth for others. And capitalism has already impoverished us culturally, robbing unmarketable art of its value. But when we begin to see the pressures of capitalism as innate laws of human motivation, when we begin to believe that everyone is owned, then we are truly impoverished. Complement On Immunity — a redemptive and salutary read in its entirety — with Virginia Woolf on illness as a portal to self-understanding and Bessel van der Kolk on the science of how our minds and our bodies converge in healing, then revisit Adrienne Rich on resisting capitalism through the arts of the possible. A Cenotaph for Newton: The Poetry of Public Spaces, the Architecture of Shadow, and How Trees Inspired the World’s First Planetarium Design Nineteen years after the publication of Isaac Newton’s epoch-making Principia — in England, in Latin — the prodigy mathematician Émilie du Châtelet set out to translate his ideas into her native French, making them more comprehensible in the process. Her more-than-translation — which includes several of her mathematical corrections and clarifications of Newton’s imprecisions, and which remains the only comprehensive edition in French to this day — popularized his ideas in France and, from this epicenter of the Enlightenment, spread them centripetally throughout the rest of the Continent, rendering Newton himself an emblem of the Enlightenment the sweep of which he never lived to see. Newton by William Blake (Tate Britain) Not long after Du Châtelet’s untimely death, her legacy reached one of her most gifted compatriots — the visionary architect Étienne-Louis Boullée (February 12, 1728–February 4, 1799), who fell under Newton’s spell. Determined to honor Newton with a worthy cenotaph — a memorial tomb for a person buried elsewhere — he designed a sphere 500 feet in diameter, taller than the Pyramids of Giza, nested into a colossal pedestal and encircled by hundreds of cypress trees, giving it the transfixing illusion of being both half-buried into the Earth and hovering unmoored from gravity. It was also, in essence, the world’s first domed planetarium design. Image courtesy of Bibliothèque nationale de France. The cenotaph was a touching gesture in the first place — a Frenchman honoring a genius born of and interred in England, a nation with which Boullée’s own had been in near-ceaseless war for centuries, with those tensions at an all-time high at the time of his design, thanks to the American Revolutionary War. Doubly touching was his choice of a sphere: One of Newton’s most revolutionary contributions — the mathematical inference that because gravity is weaker at the equator, the shape of the Earth must be spherical — had defied France’s greatest son, René Descartes, who maintained that the Earth was egg-shaped. When Boullée was still a boy, a young Frenchman — Émilie du Châtelet’s mathematics tutor — had joined a perilous Arctic expedition to prove Newton correct. Two centuries later, in the wake of the world’s grimmest war yet, a queer Quaker Englishman would do the same, risking his life to defend the epoch-making theory of a German Jew — the theory of relativity that ultimately subverted Newton. Another world war later, Einstein himself would appeal to what he called “the common language of science” — that truth-seeking contact with nature and reality that transcends all borders and all nationalisms, the impulse that animated Boullée’s bold homage to Newton. Cenotaph side cross-section. Image courtesy of Bibliothèque nationale de France. While governed by the credo that “our buildings — and our public buildings in particular — should be to some extent poems,” Boullée also believed that science could magnify the poetry of public spaces, which must at bottom reflect the principles of the grand designer: Nature. A century before the teenage Virginia Woolf wrote that “all the Arts… imitate as far as they can the one great truth that all can see,” Boullée insisted: No idea exists that does not derive from nature… It is impossible to create architectural imagery without a profound knowledge of nature: the Poetry of architecture lies in natural effects. That is what makes architecture an art and that art sublime. Architecture in the modern sense was then a young art, because the art-science of perspective was so novel. Newton’s optics, derived directly from the laws of nature, had revolutionized it all. Boullée came to define architecture as “the art of creating perspectives by the arrangement of volumes,” but a highly poetic art: The real talent of an architect lies in incorporating in his work the sublime attraction of Poetry. The poetry of architecture, he argued, resides in using perspective and light in such a way that “our senses are reminded of nature.” He interpreted the laws of nature, as clarified by Newton’s optics and mathematics, to intimate that no shape embodies this serenade to the senses with greater power and precision than the sphere: A sphere is, in all respects, the image of perfection. It combines strict symmetry with the most perfect regularity and the greatest possible variety; its form is developed to the fullest extent and is the simplest that exists; its shape is outlined by the most agreeable contour and, finally, the light effects that it produces are so beautifully graduated that they could not possibly be softer, more agreeable or more varied. These unique advantages, which the sphere derives from nature, have an immeasurable hold over our senses. Image courtesy of Bibliothèque nationale de France. And so Boullée predicated his cenotaph for Newton on an enormous sphere that would convey his ultimate intent for the temple — to arouse in the visitor’s soul “feelings in keeping with religious ceremonies,” a sense of grandeur leaving them “moved by such an excess of sensibility… that all the faculties of our soul are disturbed to such an extent that we feel it is departing from our body” — an effect always best achieved not by an enormity of sheer size and space but by a considered contrast of scales. No building, he observed, “calls for the Poetry of architecture” more than a memorial to the dead. Believing that architecture, like all art, should ultimately serve to enlarge our sense of aliveness, and that we are never more alive than when we are rooted in our creaturely senses, Boullée insisted that the key to this sense of grandeur lies in applying the principles of nature’s mathematics with poetic subtlety — the principles laid bare in the Principia, the principles that “derive from order, the symbol of wisdom.” He wrote: Symmetry… is what results from the order that extends in every direction and multiplies them at our glance until we can no longer count them. By extending the sweep of an avenue so that its end is out of sight, the laws of optics and the effects of perspective given an impression of immensity; at each step, the objects appear in a new guise and our pleasure is renewed by a succession of different vistas. Finally, by some miracle which in fact is the result of our own movement but which we attribute to the objects around us, the latter seem to move with us, as if we had imparted Life to them. Aerial cross-section. Image courtesy of Bibliothèque nationale de France. But my favorite part of the story is that Boullée found his formative inspiration, not only for the Newton cenotaph and but for his entire creative philosophy, in an unusual encounter with trees — those profoundest of teachers. One evening, heavy with grief, Boullée went for a walk along the edge of a forest. Under the moonlight, he noticed his shadow. He had seen his shadow a thousand times before, but the peculiar lens of his psychic state rendered it entirely new — a living artwork of “extreme melancholy.” Looking around, he saw the shadows of the trees in this new light, too, etching onto the ground the profound drama of life. The entire scene was suddenly awash in “all that is sombre in nature.” He had seen the state of his soul mirrored back by the natural world, as we so often do in those rawest moments when we are stripped to the base of our being, grounded into our creaturely senses. This was the moment of Boullée’s artistic awakening — that moment of revelation when, as Virginia Woolf wrote in her exquisite account of her own artistic awakening, something lifts “the cotton wool of daily life” and we see the familiar world afresh. Boullée recounted: The mass of objects stood out in black against the extreme wanness of the light. Nature offered itself to my gaze in mourning. I was struck by the sensations I was experiencing and immediately began to wonder how to apply this, especially to architecture. I tried to find a composition made up of the effect of shadows. To achieve this, I imagined the light (as I had observed it in nature) giving back to me all that my imagination could think of. That was how I proceeded when I was seeking to discover this new type of architecture. He called this new architecture “the architecture of shadow.” His vision for Newton’s cenotaph was its grand testament: I attempted to create the greatest of all effects, that of immensity; for that is what gives us lofty thoughts as we contemplate the Creator and give us celestial sensations. He attempted, more than that, to honor Newton on his own terms, by the essence of his genius: O Newton! With the range of your intelligence and the sublime nature of your Genius, you have defined the shape of the earth; I have conceived the idea of enveloping you with your discovery… your own self. How can I find outside you anything worthy of you? Image courtesy of Bibliothèque nationale de France. In a further homage to Newton’s legacy, with Boullée regarded as a “divine system” of laws, he chose to suspend a sole spherical lamp over the tomb as the only decoration in the entire monument — anything else, he felt, would be “committing sacrilege.” The contrast of scales — the smaller sphere of the lamp inside the enormous sphere of the building — would dramatize the contrast of light and shadow, just as the moonlight had done that fateful night of artistic revelation by the trees. This would give the visitor the sense that they are “as if by magic floating in the air, borne in the wake of images in the immensity of space.” Boullée considered the play of light the vital element in this enchantment: It is light that produces impressions which arouse in us various contradictory sensations depending on whether they are brilliant or sombre. If I could manage to diffuse in my temple magnificent light effects I would fill the onlooker with joy; but if, on the contrary, my temple had only sombre effects, I would fill him with sadness. If I could avoid direct light and arrange for its presence without the onlooker being aware of its source, the ensuing effect of mysterious daylight would produce inconceivable impression and, in a sense, a truly enchanting magic quality. At a time long before readily available electric light and light-projection, he leaned on Newton’s optics to envision something that was part Stonehenge and part Hayden Planetarium. A century and a half before the first modern planetarium dome, Boullée dotted the black interior of his dome with an intricate arrangement of tiny holes reflecting the positions of the constellations and the planets, streaming in daylight to create an enchanting nightscape inside. But unlike the modern counterpart, Boullée’s was a reversible planetarium — at night, the sole spherical light would irradiate the tiny holes from the other direction, making the dome appear as a self-contained universe if viewed from above. This, lest we forget, was the golden age of aeronautics, when hot-air balloons first defied gravity to lift the human animal into the sky. Side cross-section.

Too visionary for its era, the cenotaph was never built, but Boullée’s ink-and-wash drawings circulated widely in the final decade of his life, eliciting both gasping admiration and merciless derision — the fate of the true visionary. With the publication of his impassioned and insightful writings nearly two centuries after his death, translated by Helen Rosenau, his vision went on to inspire generations of modern artists and architects with a new way of thinking about the poetry of public spaces and the relationship between nature and human creativity. In a sentiment evocative of another pioneer’s lamentation — Harriet Hosmer’s astute remark that “if one knew but one-half the difficulties an artist has to surmount… the public would be less ready to censure him for his shortcomings or slow advancement” — Boullée wrote of his critics: No one is more exacting than a man who is not conversant with a given art for he is unable to imagine all the difficulties the artist has to overcome. His ultimate satisfaction was not the reception or execution of his designs, but the inexhaustible source of their inspiration — the elemental wellspring of the creative impulse behind all art and all science, that richest and readiest reward of our aliveness: The artist… is always making discoveries and spends his life observing nature.
