Colonel ROBERT WALPOLE (18 November 1650 – 18 November 1700) of Houghton Hall in Norfolk, was an English Whig politician and Colonel in the militia[1][2] who served as a Member of Parliament for the borough of Castle Rising, Norfolk, from 1689 to 1700. He is mainly notable for being the father of Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford, considered to have been the first Prime Minister of Great Britain.[3] He is the ancestor of all the Barons Walpole and Earls of Orford, of all creations, and of the present Marquess of Cholmondeley, owner of Houghton Hall. He is also known as the _Guinness World Records_ holder for having the world's longest overdue public library book.[4]

Origins

He was born at Houghton Hall in 1650, the son and heir of Edward Walpole (d.1668) of Houghton (the family seat for over four decades[5]), by his wife Susan Crane.[6] His father ardently supported the Restoration of the Monarchy to King Charles II and was subsequently created a Knight of the Bath.[7]

Political career

In January 1689 he was elected as a Member of Parliament for Castle Rising in Norfolk[8] and was considered the most influential Whig in Norfolk and one of the most influential whigs in Parliament.[9] He served as a Deputy Lieutenant for Norfolk when Henry Howard, 7th Duke of Norfolk was Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk.

Marriage & issue

In 1671 he married Mary Burwell, a daughter of Sir Jeffrey Burwell[10] of Rougham Place in Suffolk, by whom he had nineteen children, of which only nine survived, two being stillborn and eight dying in infancy:[11]

Sons

-   Edward Walpole (1674 – ?)
-   Burwell Walpole (1675 – ?)
-   Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford (1676–1745), eldest surviving son and heir, who shortly after his father's death became a Member of Parliament and later held the offices of Secretary at War, Treasurer of the Navy, Paymaster of the Forces, First Lord of the Treasury, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Leader of the House of Commons, and became the first Prime Minister of Great Britain.[12] He remained a Member of Parliament for forty years.[13]
-   John Walpole (1677 – ?)

[Horatio Walpole, 1st Baron Walpole]

-   Horatio Walpole, 1st Baron Walpole (1678-1757), one of the earliest holders of that first name in England, later much used by his family and by his illustrious cousin Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805), his father's great-great grandson, born one year after 1st Baron Walpole's death. Horatio was a character in Shakespeare's 1599/1601 play _Hamlet_. He was a Member of Parliament for fifty-four years from 1702 until his death in 1757.[14] During his political career he served as Secretary to the Treasury, Chief Secretary for Ireland, British Ambassador to France, Cofferer of the Household, Ambassador to the United Provinces and Teller of the Exchequer.[15]
-   Christopher Walpole, died as an infant
-   Galfridus Walpole (1683–1726)
-   Mordaunt Walpole (1688 – ?)
-   A stillborn boy (1690)
-   Charles Walpole (1691 – ?)
-   William Walpole (1693 – ?)

Daughters

-   Susan Walpole (1672 – ?), wife of Anthony Hamond (d.1743);
-   Mary Walpole (1673–1701), who married Sir Charles Turner, 1st Baronet of Warham, Norfolk, a lawyer and Whig politician, and was the great-grandmother of the great Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805);
-   Elizabeth Walpole, died in infancy;
-   Elizabeth Walpole (1682–1736)
-   Anne Walpole (1685 – ?)
-   Dorothy Walpole (1686 – 29 March 1728), who in about 1713[16] married Charles Townshend, 2nd Viscount Townshend (1674-1738), who in his childhood had been her father's ward,[17] son and heir of Horatio Townshend, 1st Viscount Townshend (1630-1687), a grandson of Horatio de Vere, 1st Baron Vere of Tilbury (1565-1635), an English military leader (one of the earliest English holders of that first name);
-   Susan Walpole (1687 – ?)
-   A stillborn girl[18]

Overdue library book

In 1668 Walpole borrowed a German biography book about the Archbishop of Bremen from the library of Sidney Sussex College.[19] It was finally found in 1956 when his descendant the 5th Marquess of Cholmondeley together with Professor John Plumb discovered the book in the library at Houghton. The book was quickly returned, 288 years after it was checked out.[20]

My brother wasn’t really alive when he died. His soul was empty, his mind was vacant. Every needle gave him temporary euphoria yet the drugs took back what he owed them. Every time he stabbed a needle into him, he bled; he was left to die in a fashion as meaningless and trivial as his life, leaving the rest of us to navigate this maze of a hell hole.
I walked into the entrance of the courtyard, the building as gray and monotonous as the cold winter sky. The courtyard was empty. I passed by the one lone tree of the courtyard. Its charcoal branches, twisted and bare seemed to reach out like hands trying to clutch something out of reach. The piss-stained stairwell felt cold and damp, the rat inhabitants of the building scuttled past, hungry desperate, scavenging for their next meal, whatever it takes.
The city felt a world away yet it was just out the door. The building was just a facade so the outside world could ignore us. On the outside the businessmen stepped around the homeless, the junkies, the rodents of the city like discarded rubbish. I walked outside and watched across the road as a man ritualistically measured out two teaspoons of sugar and carefully placed them in his coffee for his morning fix.  The rush of the city didn’t penetrate the walls of my building, only the sirens could be heard within its confines. It was the part of the inner-city less seen.
The building was on its last legs. It was old, decrepit. The concrete was cancerous and cracked. The roofs seemed to slouch in the middle, barely able to support its weight. It was a dying cause, a failed social experiment. It made you feel suppressed, trapped, institutionalised. Sometimes I wish it would fall down. The walls house too many bad memories, too much pain, too much suffering.  I get this feeling the buildings going to come down on me, the weight of the bricks crushing me without warning. Sometimes I think I wouldn’t mind if it did so this could all be over and done with.
I walked back inside to our apartment; my mum was passed out on the couch again. I caught a glimpse of a photo of my brother. The pain felt like a knife stabbing through the heart, it was too fresh. the memory, too real. Death is a tough thing to digest but I get the feeling that the feeling will never go away. My thoughts are like parasites in my head, gnawing at my brain.
I left my brother to die. Isolated, lonely, He reached out for help but there was no one there, no support, no help. That’s how it is in life. I feel that’s where I’m destined, where I’m headed. Ever since the death of my brother I’ve truly felt alone in the world, he was on the only sense of direction that I felt in my life and now there’s no one. Dad is long gone and mum is about as good supportive and caring as him. The school keeps calling about me but she doesn’t care. I haven’t been since my brother died. There I’m an outcast, that povo kid who lives in a rundown house with a drunk as a mother. I hate school and no one dares come inside the building to take me away, the outside world never comes inside this building, they know better.
Yesterday I caught my mother shooting up. I see that same vacant look in her eyes that my brother had before he died. The same look that the man had in his eyes as he lay on the sidewalk, coughing up blood as red began surround his abdomen. I murdered a man for twenty-dollars. That’s all that was in his wallet. I panicked, I messed up. He was on his way home from work. A white collared businessman. He walked into the alleyway and I held a knife to him. He tried to make a run for it. I was caught up in the moment, too nervous, too involved in the situation. I sunk the sharp knife into his soft belly as he lay on the ground, mumbling something I couldn’t make out as blood pooled and he wheezed and coughed. He went pale as I ran away. Blood covered my hands as I sprinted. I tossed the knife in the harbour as the man lay down in the dirty streets in his last moments. People saw him but did nothing. He was ignored. For that brief moment he became a part of my world, he was a part of the discarded, the outsiders. He knew what it felt like to be pushed to the side.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of that man in the gutter, left alone, the look in his eyes, the look of death. The same look I see when I look in the mirror

It's the Jezza annual! The perfect gift for those dreaming of a red Christmas as Corbyn 2018 book is released (complete with a game of pin the beard on the Jeremy!)

-   THE JEREMY CORBYN ANNUAL 2018 CONTAINS A WORD SEARCH, CROSSWORD AND THE KEY COMPONENTS FOR A GAME OF ‘PIN THE BEARD ON THE JEREMY’
-   THE SPOOF BOOK WAS CREATED TO CASH IN ON CORBYNMANIA THIS CHRISTMAS
-   THERE'S ALSO A STORY ABOUT AN ADMIRER FALLING FOR CORBYN, PLAYED BY HUGH GRANT

 Published: 17:00 EST, 25 November 2017 | Updated: 10:15 EST, 26 November 2017

Best seller: The annual includes a word search, crossword and the key components for a game of 'pin the beard of the Jeremy'

It's a gimmicky read based solely on the Jeremy Corbyn personality cult, is full of ridiculous jokes and will probably end up in the bin after a couple of days.

No, it’s not the Labour Party manifesto but the must-have gift for the dear leader’s supporters this Christmas – a 2018 annual dedicated to the unlikely socialist pin-up.

Like Corbyn himself, the hardback is rooted in 1970s tradition, and might appeal to those idealistic young Left-wingers too daunted to tackle traditional texts, like the Communist Manifesto.

Instead of complex political theory, the Jeremy Corbyn Annual 2018 contains a word search (can you find ‘proletariat’?), crossword (the none-too-challenging answer to 2 down is ‘Corbyn’) and the key components for a game of ‘pin the beard on the Jeremy’.

The book is not, however, the latest recruiting gimmick from the Momentum wing of the Labour party, but a spoof created to cash in on Corbynmania this Christmas.

That would explain sections such as Jeremy’s comic-strip adventures, a kids’ page featuring ‘Whitebeard’ the pirate and the ‘Jeremy’s Lost The Plot’ maze.

The book includes a photo love story featuring a young Hugh Grant

Corbyn has even been reimagined as an agony aunt, suggesting fresh vegetables as a token of affection, and a fashionista with tips such as ‘show skin strategically: looking sexy doesn’t just mean baring all, it’s about preserving the mystery’.

There is also a black-and-white photo story about a young admirer falling for Corbyn, who is portrayed by a young Hugh Grant.

The photographs were originally shot in the 1970s for My Guy magazine, but a scribbled-on beard transforms the future Notting Hill star into the socialist campaigner. Meanwhile new captions capture the depth of passion in the story.

‘I’ve prepared some Labour Party leaflets and I was hoping to put you in charge of stapling them all together,’ he tells the besotted Carol. ‘Oh Jeremy, you’re so funny and dishy,’ she swoons.

Other activities include a Jeremy's 'Lost the Plot' maze and an agony aunt column, Ask Jeremy

The book, billed as a ‘Corbyn- ucopia’ of fun, has been created by brothers Adam and Dicken Goodwin with fellow comedy writer Jonathan Parkyn and has proved a publishing success, even outselling The Beano annual in some stores.

‘The first print run sold out in three weeks,’ said Colette Whitehouse, head of marketing for publishers Pavilion. She said the book has an ‘irreverent humour’ and ‘a touch of nostalgia for older readers as it harks back to the annuals they may remember from the 1970s’.

The Labour whips’ office in the House of Commons is known to have a copy. But it’s not clear whether a certain avuncular figure with a white beard, odd dress sense and a love of hand-outs delivered it down their chimney.

Nor is the annual the only Corbyn-themed book out this Christmas: there’s a Corbyn colouring book and cut-out book too.

It also includes the key components for a game of ‘pin the beard on the Jeremy’

Critiques of judicial activism are, in the end, rarely critiques of judicial activism.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

[]

IT WAS “the best term for the left in at least a quarter century,” says Tom Goldstein, a Supreme Court litigator and publisher of SCOTUSblog. In the dramatic final days in June, the justices refused to undermine Obamacare or undercut civil-rights protections under the Fair Housing Act. They rebuffed a plea from Republican legislators in Arizona that would have nixed a fix to partisan gerrymandering. And they decided that marriage equality for gays and lesbians is a constitutional right. There were twin consolationprizes for conservatives on the final opinion day, but Mr Goldstein counts liberal wins in eight of the ten most significant cases of the term.

The justices’ turn to the left is more likely an anomaly than an enduring trend, with the fate of affirmative action and public-sector unions looking shaky when the justices take up challenges to both in the next term. Abortion rights may also be at risk. But in the meantime, Republican presidential candidates are falling over themselves to denounce the “five unelected judges” who have conspired to thwart the will of the American people. The old critique of “judicial activism” is back with a vengeance.

Ted Cruz, who served as a clerk to William Rehnquist from 1995-1996, is the most piqued of the GOP field. He calls the Obamacare and gay-marriage rulings “an assault on democracy” and says that the justices “have become, effectively, politicians.” Mr Cruz proposes curbing the court’s politicisation with a constitutional amendment to institute retention elections for justices—an idea that would, of course, dramatically exacerbate the evil he seems keen to combat.

Foolish campaign rhetoric to one side, the question of judicial activism deserves a response. Have the liberal justices, who voted as a bloc with impressive consistency, picking off a conservative justice now and again to win 5-4 decisions in the biggest cases, “short circuit[ed] the political process” (as Marco Rubio put it) with their rulings?

The charge has come with great force from the disgruntled right-wing of the bench. Each of the four dissenters in _Obergefell v Hodges,_ the same-sex marriage case, relied heavily on the image of the five-justice majority as a covey of usurpers who struck down state bans on same-sex marriage because they had a policy preference for gay weddings. Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the decision “usurps the constitutional right of the people to decide whether to keep or alter the traditional understanding of marriage” through the democratic process. Chief Justice John Roberts sounded the same note of incredulity that five justices would set out to redefine an institution that has remained heterosexual for millennia: “Who do we think we are?” And Justice Antonin Scalia was perhaps the most emphatic: “Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court.”

It’s remarkable how similar the arguments are in the four separate dissents, and how little discussion one finds in them of substantive reasons for upholding prohibitions on same-sex marriage. There is hardly any direct refutation of Justice Kennedy’s reasoning that the Constitution protects the equal dignity of gay and lesbians to wed—beyond Justice Scalia’s insulting comment that the majority opinion is reminiscent of the “mystical aphorisms of a fortune cookie.” (I wonder if Mr Scalia actually reads his fortunes; I have yet to unwrap one that says anything about love, marriage or dignity.)

By pressing so hard on the formal point that five justices should never dictate terms to 320m Americans, the conservatives have constructed a self-defeating argument. Dictating terms to 320m Americans is exactly what the Supreme Court does and has done ever since it gave itself the power of judicial review in the _Marbury v Madison_ decision of 1803. When a majority of the court reads the Constitution as protecting a right that a state or federal law contravenes, it strikes that law down. That is the justices’ _job_. Justice Elena Kagan explained as much in the _Obergefell_ oral argument. “[W]e don't live in a pure democracy,” she said, “we live in a constitutional democracy. And the Constitution imposes limits on what people can do and this is one of those cases...where we have to decide...whether the Constitution...prevents the democratic processes from operating purely independently.”

Many of the liberal decisions this spring, including the Obamacare, gerrymandering, Confederate flag and fair-housing rulings, were not “activist” at all. In fact, they were examples of judicial restraint since they deferred to the determinations of other branches of government. But is _Obergefell_ an example of judicial activism? Absolutely, if by “activism” we mean striking down laws that a majority of the justices construe as running afoul of the Constitution.

But it is misleading to describe this instinct as inherently or predominantly liberal. In recent years, the right wing of the court has exceeded the left in its willingness to use judicial power to counter the will of the people as expressed in state or federal legislation. Last year, in _Burwell v Hobby Lobby,_the conservatives voted to carve out an exception to a provision in the Affordable Care Act for certain religiously owned corporations. Two years ago in _Shelby County v Holder,_ they struck down the heart of the Voting Rights Act, a law that Congress had re-approved overwhelmingly in a bipartisan vote in 2006. In 2010, a provision of another bipartisan act of Congress, the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance law, came on the conservatives’ chopping block in the highly controversial _Citizens United v Federal Election Commission._ Again last year, in _McCutcheon v Federal Election Commission,_ some campaign-donation limits were found to violate the First Amendment. All of these are clear and bold examples of justices exercising judicial power. Whether correctly or incorrectly decided, the rulings are, objectively, “activist”.

Critiques of judicial activism are, in the end, rarely critiques of judicial activism. They are cries of despair masked as principled stances against unelected judges deciding major questions for hundreds of millions of Americans. Everyone favours some of those decisions and objects to others. (And everyone seems to forget, when using "unelected" as a term of abuse, that judicial independence was seen by the founders as "the citadel of the public justice and the public security.") If, come next spring, affirmative-action admissions policies are found to contravene the 14th Amendment's equal-protection guarantee, or mandatory union dues are struck down as a violation of free speech, it will be the liberals’ turn to decry the court’s judicial activism while conservatives nod solemnly and announce that the Constitution has been vindicated.

In shogi, BUOYANT ROOK (浮き浮き飛車 or ウキウキ飛車 _ukiukibisha_) or the DECEIVER (目くらまし _me kuramashi_ or 浮き飛車目くらまし _ukibisha me kuramashi_) is a surprise Static Rook opening in which the player's rook is advanced to the file directly above their line of pawns (rank 6 for Black or rank 4 for White) behind an advanced rook pawn.

Once positioned on this rank, the player threatens to capture with their rook any pawns that are advanced by their opponent.

The term _float_ (浮く _uku_) is used to refer to the positioning of the rook on rank 6 or 4 where it is undefended. A rook in this position is known as a _floating rook_ (浮き飛車 _ukibisha_) as in, for instance, the Double Wing Attack Floating Rook opening (相掛かり浮き飛車 _aigakari ukibisha_). The word 浮き浮き _ukiuki_ means light-hearted or cheery as if metaphorically floating.

Development

1. P-26 P-34, 2. P-25.

2. ...B-33. If White wants to prevent a pawn exchange on the second file, they must move the bishop to the third file to protect the 24 square. This move will also allow White to develop a Ranging Rook position.

3. R-26. This is the unexpected floating of the rook to the rank 6 that characterizes the Buoyant Rook opening.

At this point, White has a choice between a Static Rook and a Ranging Rook response.

Against Ranging Rook

Against Static Rook

3. ...P-84. Static Rook.

US officials are increasingly anxious about the potential for mass violence in Burundi, a small African country whose troops have received significant American support and play a major role in the fight against Islamist militants.

Weeks of unrest spurred by the Burundian president’s decision to stand for a third term and a failed coup attempt have reached a tipping point, US officials, academics and other observers said Monday. While warning that the situation is fluid and could stabilize, some alluded — cautiously — to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, which neighbors Burundi and has a similar ethnic make-up. Burundi itself has a history of mass killings.

Pro-government forces are facing off with protesters demanding the President Pierre Nkurunziza step down once his term is complete. On Monday, there were reports of scattered killings of protesters, US officials and others said.

“It is a very dangerous situation. We’re hearing from a lot of people in the country that they are extremely scared,” said Tom Malinowski, assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights, and labor. “This is a country that has experienced mass atrocities and mass killings in the past, and all of the ingredients that experience has taught us to look for … are there.”

Burundi, like Rwanda, is roughly 85 percent Hutu and 15 percent Tutsi. The 1994 slaughter in Rwanda pitted the ethnic groups against one another and resulted in some 800,000 deaths. Aside from ethnic tensions, disputes over land rights could also add to the instability.

Malinowski declined to make a direct comparison to Rwanda, but said, “We have seen terrible things happen in this region before and promised ourselves if such a situation ever arose again we would do everything possible to prevent the worst from happening and we don’t know where this crisis is going to lead.”

Burundi’s embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Cara Jones, an expert on Burundi with extensive contacts in the African nation of 10.4 million, said she’s been told that a youth militia that supports the president has been making lists of people who support and don’t support the ruling party and has begun demanding protection fees from some Burundians.

Pro-government activists are said to be using pictures and videos taken of protests to figure out who they can target, she added. Private media outlets have largely been shut down, and many citizen activists have fled the country, along with tens of thousands of other Burundians in recent weeks, making it difficult to access information, especially beyond the capital region of Bujumbura, Jones said.

Jones has been helping draft a letter signed by academics, policy experts and other interested parties to the Obama administration and members of Congress urging them to pay more attention to Burundi and to intervene — though not militarily. She noted that the ruling party, which is largely powered by the Hutu ethnic majority, has been making at times coded references that could stoke ethnic violence.

“It’s not only that people could be killed but also another humanitarian disaster,” she said. “It’s very possible this could spill over to other countries.”

The US has issued increasingly strong statements and travel warnings about Burundi in recent days. On Friday, it ordered the departure of non-essential embassy personnel and family members. Over the weekend, it chartered evacuation flights for US citizens. At least 20 Americans as well as some citizens from other countries left on three commercial chartered flights that left Sunday, the State Department said.

Protests erupted in Burundi on April 26, after the ruling party declared that Nkurunziza would be its nominee for presidential elections planned for late June. Opponents say Nkurunziza would be violating the country’s constitution if he stands for a third term, but he has argued that because he won his first term through a parliamentary vote rather than a popular vote he can serve again.

Last Wednesday, while the president traveled out of the country, a group of military officers tried to oust his government. They were foiled, however, by other army leaders, and several people now face trial. Jones said the government is trying to conflate the pro-democracy protesters with the coup leaders.

Burundi is a major contributor of troops to a broader African effort aimed at stamping out al-Shabab, an Islamist militant group, and the US has invested through multiple channels in Burundi’s armed forces. Since a 2000 accord known as the Arusha Agreement eventually ended an ethnically-charged civil war in Burundi in 2005, the army has emerged as one of the more stable powers in the country.

There are signs that the army’s unity may be fraying, Jones said.

On Sunday, Nkurunziza appeared to send a signal to the international community when he gave a speech that didn’t mention terrorism but said he was focused on the fight against al-Shabab. A spokesman for the militant group reportedly dismissed the president’s speech, saying he was trying to distract from his domestic problems.

The US has made it clear that it believes Nkurunziza is violating a past peace accord by trying to stay in power. In a recent warning to Burundi, the State Department stressed that “under US law, we cannot provide military training or assistance to military units that commit gross violations of human rights.”

It further stated its support for mediation efforts involving the United Nations, the African Union and others while adding that it “welcomes decisions by other donor partners to reduce or withdraw budget support and financial assistance to the government of Burundi in response to the continuing instability and violence.”

Asked if it was worth risking Burundi’s participation in the battle against Islamist militants by coming down too hard on Nkurunziza, Malinowski said that broader struggle is “an incentive to work a lot harder to prevent a scenario where the country falls apart.”

question: What would happen if President Nkurunziza refuses to step down?

answer: Another coup attempt could happen, and mass killings and violence would likely happen.

In physics, a PERFECT GAS is a theoretical gas model that differs from real gases in ways that makes certain calculations easier to handle. In perfect gas models, intermolecular forces are neglected. This means that one can neglect many complications that may arise from the Van der Waals forces. One example of a perfect gas is an ideal gas.

Perfect gas nomenclature

The terms _perfect gas_ and _ideal gas_ are sometimes used interchangeably, depending on the particular field of physics and engineering. Sometimes, other distinctions are made, such as between _thermally perfect gas_ and _calorically perfect gas_, or between imperfect, semi-perfect, and perfect gases, and as well as the characteristics of ideal gases. Two of the common sets of nomenclatures are summarized in the following table.

+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| Nomenclature 1  | Nomenclature 2  | Heat capacity   | Ideal-gas law   |
|                 |                 | at              | pV = nRT and    |
|                 |                 | constant _V_,   | Cp − CV = nR    |
|                 |                 | CV,             |                 |
|                 |                 | or constant     |                 |
|                 |                 | _P_, CP.        |                 |
+=================+=================+=================+=================+
| Calorically     | Perfect         |                 |                 |
| perfect         |                 |                 |                 |
+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| Thermally       | Semi-perfect    |                 |                 |
| perfect         |                 |                 |                 |
+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| N/A             | Ideal           |                 |                 |
+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| N/A             | Imperfect       |                 |                 |
+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+

Thermally and calorically perfect gas

Along with the definition of a perfect gas, there are also two more simplifications that can be made although various textbooks either omit or combine the following simplifications into a general “perfect gas” definition.

A THERMALLY PERFECT GAS

-   is in thermodynamic equilibrium
-   is not chemically reacting
-   has internal energy _e_, enthalpy _h_, and heat capacities _CV_, _CP_ that are functions of temperature _only_ and not of pressure, i.e., e = e(T), h = h(T), de = Cv(T)dT, dh = Cp(T)dT.

It can be proved that an ideal gas (i.e. satisfying the ideal gas equation of state) is thermally perfect.[1]

This type of approximation is useful for modeling, for example, an axial compressor where temperature fluctuations are usually not large enough to cause any significant deviations from the _thermally perfect_ gas model. Heat capacity is still allowed to vary, though only with temperature, and molecules are not permitted to dissociate. The latter implies temperature limited to 2500 K.[2]

Even more restricted is the CALORICALLY PERFECT GAS for which, in addition, the heat capacity is assumed to be constant: e = CvT and h = CpT.

Although this may be the most restrictive model from a temperature perspective, it is accurate enough to make reasonable predictions within the limits specified. A comparison of calculations for one compression stage of an axial compressor (one with variable _Cp_, and one with constant _Cp_) produces a deviation small enough to support this approach. As it turns out, other factors come into play and dominate during this compression cycle. These other effects would have a greater impact on the final calculated result than whether or not _Cp_ was held constant. (examples of these real gas effects include compressor tip-clearance, separation, and boundary layer/frictional losses, etc.)

In my studiesof the lives of older Americans, I learned that almost nothing is as painful to them as estrangement from an adult child. When I wrote a blog post on this topic, it led to an extraordinary outpouring of interest that both surprised and moved me. When we reach the later years, our dream is to be surrounded by loving children and grandchildren. For some older people, however, a negative relationship with one of their offspring - or even worse, complete separation from him or her - is profoundly difficult.

Parents in this situation are looking for advice. So I consulted a group of experts on family relations - from psychology, psychiatry, and social work - to learn what they would advise parents who feel their adult child has broken their hearts. Here's what they told me:

  Here's some advice to parents in this situation. (1) Remember it's their story and they're sticking to it so don't try to change or correct their version of the past. (2) Express your regret without letting them guilt-trip you; regret is guilt without the neuroses. (3) Stay open to their overture - who's the grown-up here? - but don't allow them to abuse you emotionally, physically, or financially.
  _Jane Adams, Ph.D., author of When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us_

  The estrangement of adult children from parents, in cases where overt parental abuse had not in fact occurred, can in some instances be read as a mark of immaturity on the part of the adult children, who may not yet have experienced the emotional challenges of parenting; for this group, at least, there is the hope that if they find themselves in the same role a few years later, they will gain compassion, if not forgiveness, for their own parents. Some older parents can at least can hold out for this hope. No one, of course, had "perfect parents." Forgiveness involves understanding and identification with the difficulties one's parents may have had, and as such, forgiveness is an expression of love and maturity.
  _Robert C. Abrams, M. D., Professor of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College_

  My piece of advice on estrangement of children is this: I feel the parent is the one that can't stop reaching out, can't stop going above and beyond to do anything to repair this broken relationship. The parent has to steer this relationship to a better path. The parent must let go of his or her ego. Leave it at the door. Apologize. It doesn't matter what happened. It is your CHILD. Never stop trying. Be humble. Apologize and profess your unconditional love. When you finally meet, hug your child and don't let go for a really long time. If you are estranged due to parental alienation, I have the same advice. Don't stop trying. The kids will find out the truth one day.
  _Marina Sbrochi Spriggs, author of Stop Looking for a Husband: Find the Love of Your Lifeand Nasty Divorce: A Kid's Eye View (fo_rthcoming)

  Estrangement from an adult child can happen for any number of reasons. Sometimes it is the child's spouse who demands distancing from family. Other times it may be due to an adult child becoming abusive and the parent needs to cut off ties for safety reasons. And sometimes the reason can seem inexplicable. Whatever the cause, the loss can be heartbreaking. If it does not resolve, it can feel like a death. Compounding the problem, older couples may not agree on how the reality came to pass or on what to do and this may cause friction. And other family members may have strong opinions or judgments, adding to the distress. Not surprisingly, powerful feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety and depression may emerge. There may also be significant grief. Older adults living with estrangement deserve support and understanding from others. Healing is a process and takes time. Seeking professional counseling can help with the challenging practical and emotional problems surrounding the experience.
  _Risa S. Breckman, LCSW, Therapist and Director of NYC Elder Abuse Center_

  Experience has taught me that when it comes to family life, nothing is simple or formulaic. Children who remain close to their parents didn't all grow up on Sunnybrook Farm. And those who distance themselves or choose to have zero contact haven't all done so because their parents failed them in some significant way. (Though, of course, some have.) Many fine parents have children who pull away -- sometimes for reasons the parents cannot figure out.
  If your grown child has pulled away, ask yourself this: Is there an unresolved issue that needs to be addressed? Is there something I might do to make that resolution possible? Is there something I need to apologize for or forgive? Difficult as it is, I've seen many parents remain openhearted to their estranged children, reaching out, inviting contact, expressing their love, with no expectation or insistence that it be reciprocated. Sometimes all we can do is leave the porch light on with a key under the mat.

Well now, things have certainly heated up over the past two hours, haven't they? We go from praying to avoid Dave Clawson to waiting on the coaching decision. And now? Gary Andersen's in it. And after you read this, I think it may be only a question of when you want him to win it.

OVERVIEW: When you think of Gary Andersen, you think Utah. Born in Salt Lake City, he started his playing career at Ricks Junior College (which grew up to be BYU-Idaho), and played his final two years at Utah. And since 1997, he was the defensive line coach at Utah, the head coach at Southern Utah, the defensive coordinator of Utah and the head coach at Utah State.

WHY IT WORKS: .359. That's Utah State's winning percentage since its return to FBS level football. That is, before Gary Andersen showed up. Being the third wheel in a state where there's barely enough players two is no easy task and no small feat. Recruiting along those lines is a real tough road to hoe. And he did it with style and creativity. I mean, getting to an over .500 record in three seasons after the guy (Brent Guy) previous to him went 9-38 during his run. You know he can make something great.

Offensively, he also knows how to make use of a program with multiple talented running backs. He may not place Kerwynn Williams in the NFL, but there are very few people who can say they have placed two running backs into the NFL from the same team in the same draft. In Michael Smith and Robert Turbin? Andersen is one of them.

As defensive minds go? Andersen is top-notch, as well. Matt Canada shouldered a lot of the blame for the 16-14 escape the Badgers put down upon the Aggies. He shouldn't have. As good as Bowling Green's defense was all year, until Utah State got buzzbombed by the offensive firepower of Louisiana Tech, the Aggies were just doing it better. They finished the year ranked in the Top 25, and with an 11-2 mark that shattered the school record for most wins in a season and the highest winning percentage for the Aggies since 1961 and the days of John Ralston.

In short, he built something powerful, in (and no offense to you, fine folks in Logan -- I've never been) what has to be a tough place to recruit. He knows how to build a team with fewer resources available to them and have them punch better teams in the mouth.

WHY IT DOESN'T: Barring some sort of outside circumstance? I honestly can't see how it won't. That is unless the Utah job opens up in any amount of speed. That seems like the one he'd jet for.

The newly elected President of the United States was watching himself give his inauguration speech on the largest monitor he had ever seen. It was a live performance given by a clone who shared his memories, and genuinely believed that he was the man that the roaring audience believed him to be. The tone and intonation, the cadence and every pause were flawlessly like he himself would have given the speech.

The clone had limited autonomous functions, but was usually controlled by a neural interface worn by the “real” President. The same was true for the first lady and their young children. They would exist in a form of stasis, thinking and feeling everything that their avatars felt while controlling their actions. The amount of lag between thought and action was almost infinitesimal. In any event, each consciousness was merged with its counterpart every few nanoseconds. Soon, there would be no real difference between the man on the monitor and the semi-conscious man in the casket. They would even age at the same rate, right down to the graying of their hair.

After two consecutive Presidents had been killed, after wars had brought the human species to the brink of extinction no matter how much outside intervention and advice was given, it was decided that the cloning scheme was the best way to continue the tradition of American democracy. It was much the same in Russia, China and every other country on earth. World leaders interfaced with computers that were exponentially faster than anything the consumer or military sectors had ever seen. Interfaced and negotiated terms at speeds which were exponentially faster than the speed of light. These speeds allowed for fewer misunderstandings. Anxiety and paranoia were lowered considerably. Knowing that aliens were monitoring all communications and could intercede at any moment convinced even the most eccentric of leaders to behave themselves.

“Are you sure this is the only way?” He asked the grey alien as he was laid into a casket like device with an opaque lid that would soon be closed over him. “Yes,” the grey biped replied with only a touch of asperity. The President-elect felt the reply in his mind. The only sound he heard was the throbbing of the alien machinery all all around him. "This system has saved earth from destruction many times. I admit, that there are certain, sacrifices..." he said gesturing his arm around the enormous cavern which was filled with similar casket-like devices containing political and religious figures from around the globe. Some had slumbered here half alive and half dead for decades.

He began to have second thoughts as the lid started to close, sealing him in, but something in one of the tubes now connected to his body was secreting a compound that calmed him and took away his fears. It also gave him a new clarity and perspective; of course this was the only way. He received greetings and congratulations simultaneously from the networked leaders of the world as well as from the leaders of races he had never imagined existed.

The lid was closing now. “ See you in four years, mister President,” the voice of the gray creature said speaking directly into his mind, “Or ,if you are fortunate, eight”

question: Write a ~5 sentence summary.

answer: In a world where humans had almost been led to extinction, clones have become the norm for continuing American democracy. Its revealed that aliens are now monitoring all communications and that the clone system has saved Earth from destructions many times. A newly elected President watches his own clone give a speech. When he's placed into a casket to be sealed away by an alien, he begins to have doubts about having a clone. After being given a compound that makes the President-elect accept his new fate, the alien tells the President he will see him in four years.

At least three killed after explosion on train bound for southern city of Karachi, officials say.

At least three people have been killed after an explosion on a train travelling between the Pakistani cities of Lahore and Karachi, officials and witnesses say.

The blast took place in an economy class train compartment on the Shalimar Express train near the town of Toba Tek Singh in Punjab province on Monday.

“The bomb, planted in one of the bathrooms, went off near the Punjab provincial district of Toba Tek Singh,” Nasir Khalili, the deputy superintendent of Pakistan Railways, told Al Jazeera.

Khalili confirmed that at least three people had been killed and 12 others injured in the blast.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.

Khalili said railway authorities had received several threats during the month of July, and had informed the security services of them.

The train service was reportedly full to capacity with passengers travelling ahead of the Muslim holiday of Eid-al-Fitr.

Television footage showed the explosion had damaged the roof of the carriage but not forced the train off the rails, suggesting a relatively low-intensity blast.

[The BU Castle on Bay State Road] The BOSTON UNIVERSITY CASTLE (or BU CASTLE or simply “The Castle”) is a Tudor Revival-style mansion owned by Boston University on Bay State Road.[1] The school typically uses it for receptions or concerts, but also rents out The Castle to cater events and special occasions.

Architecture

[The Castle covered in ivy] The building was cited by architectural historian Bainbridge Bunting in his _Houses of Boston's Back Bay_ as displaying “the most convincing medieval effect of the area.”

According to Boston University, the building's founder, William Lindsey, would have been pleased by this description. Lindsey had derived his inspiration for the Castle from the great manor houses of Tudor England. “The imposing style of these medieval mansions held a special allure for Lindsey, who, besides being a successful businessman, was also a poet and playwright. His writings, such as The Severed Mantle: A romance of medieval Provence and The Red Wine of Roussillon, a blank-verse drama set in France during the Middle Ages, reveal the same fascination with the antique and the romantic that pervades the design of the Castle.”[2]

History

The Castle was originally built as a residence for William Lindsey (1858–1922), a prominent Boston businessman who made his fortune with a patented cartridge belt the British Army used during the Boer War. Plans were drawn up in 1904 and construction was completed in 1915 at a cost of more than $500,000.[3]

Shortly after the building's completion, Lindsey's eldest daughter was married in the mansion, though she and her groom would later be killed while on their honeymoon, aboard the ill-fated _Lusitania_ after the ship was torpedoed by a German submarine just off the coast of County Cork. The grief-stricken Lindsey later constructed the magnificent Leslie Lindsey Memorial Chapel in Emmanuel Church on Newbury Street in his daughter's memory.

In 1926, Oakes Ames purchased the Castle from Lindsey's widow. He, University Trustee Dr. William E. Chenery and Chenery's wife donated the mansion to Boston University in 1939. From then until 1967, the Castle was used as the home of Boston University's presidents.

In 2007, the Castle was a filming location for the Kevin Spacey movie _21_,[4] and in 2016, for _Ghostbusters._[5]

BU Pub

[The BU Pub on the side of the Castle] In the basement of the BU Castle is the BU Pub, an English-style pub serving drinks and sandwiches. The Castle is the only Boston University-operated drinking establishment on campus. It is open only to faculty, staff, alumni, students, and invited guests, and is closed on weekends.[6] The Pub sometimes has live music on Thursdays, with performances mostly from BU students. Popular house activities are the Knight's and Lord's Quests. In the Knight's Quest, students must drink 50 different types of beer that the pub offers. The accomplishment culminates in a Knighting Ceremony where the new Knights are given different nicknames by friends for a mug that they can use while at the pub. The Lord's Quest is similar except it involves 60 mixed drinks, and after the ceremony the new Lord's name is engraved on a plaque. For reasons that are not entirely clear, the plaque has not been updated for over two years. In September 2008, the BU Pub canceled the Lord's Quest, so now only the Knight's Quest remains.[7][8]

question: What does the text say is the architectural inspiration behind the BU Castle?

answer: The BU Castle exhibits some of the most convincing medieval effects of the area, thanks to the founder's love for the medieval era. William Lindsey, the founder of the BU Castle, was a successful businessman who was also a poet and playwright. His love for the medieval ages can be seen in his poetry and writings such as "The Severed Mantle: A romance of medieval Provence and The Red Wine of Roussillon."

Let’s build a college-going culture that includes options for every student

by Rich Nickel

February 6, 2018

[]The enduring popular concept of what it means to go to college sends young people the message that they’re not “college material” if they’re not interested in, or able to attend, a four-year college or university.

To counter this narrow and sometimes elitist image of higher education, we must build a college-going culture in our communities that is inclusive and that promotes higher education in its many forms as a desirable and attainable goal for all young people.  We as a society — and especially those of us in the education community — must do everything we can to achieve this goal.

Too few high school students and families are aware of the many higher-education pathways available to them and the resources in place to support them.

We need to do a better job of illuminating and celebrating these options, including earning an associate degree at a community college, attending a technical institution, studying at a trade school, completing job training and participating in apprenticeships.

It is also essential to consider the ways in which the importance of higher education extends beyond individuals and what they value.

Getting more Americans to earn some kind of postsecondary credential is an important goal for states across the country.

In Arizona, we know that within the next three years nearly 70 percent of all jobs will require at least some education beyond high school.

Unfortunately, there is little to no state funding in Arizona that encourages low-income students to seek higher-education opportunities.

Arizona should make this type of funding available. It would almost certainly raise awareness of higher-education options and facilitate greater access to more young people.

The business and education communities have formed a coalition, Achieve60AZ, to bolster partnerships and catalyze collaborative initiatives to boost the attainment rate and align education with Arizona’s economic opportunities, but these efforts are not yet being matched by statehouse support.

“Too few high school students and families are aware of the many higher-education pathways available to them and the resources in place to support them.”

For the third year in a row, an Expect More Arizona poll shows that Arizonans consider education to be the number one issue in the state. Clearly, these opportunities are high priorities.

As the array of higher-education options available to young people seeking to prepare for future careers continues to diversify and expand in Arizona — a trend my organization follows closely and encourages — it is essential to raise awareness and knowledge about the value of higher education in all of its various forms, especially among low-income and first-generation students.

Obtaining a degree beyond a high school diploma makes a huge difference in a person’s earning potential and lifetime wages. States that don’t create an environment that fosters higher education are likely to lose out on economic opportunities.

Skilled workers will relocate to find high-paying, in-demand jobs, taking with them their economic power. There’s also the social loss associated with not getting students on paths to success, including a heavier strain on local and state resources such as law enforcement, healthcare and social services.

According to Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, well-paying, skilled-services jobs for workers with education beyond high school have increased by four million since 1991. Whether it’s a bachelor’s degree, an IT credential or a technical certification, formal education beyond high school is the key to expanding opportunities for individuals while strengthening our state (and country) at the same time.

Although there will continue to be job opportunities for people who have foregone higher education, there are significantly more — and wider — pathways for individuals who have formal training or education beyond high school.

Supporting a broad-based college-going culture that champions the diverse pathways to higher education is an investment in the future of our state and our country.

question: What does the text say about obstacles to students going to college?

answer: The author says that one obstacle is the popular concept of what it means to go to college, which they claim can make students feel like they aren't "college material." Another obstacle is that high school students and families might not be aware of the systems in place to support prospective college students. Finally, the author points out that Arizona in particular has little to no state funding to encourage low-income students to seek higher-education.

question: What does the text say about potential ways to encourage students to go to college?

answer: The author suggests changing the image of higher education to something that is more inclusive of all the different forms that it can have. In particular, they say we should celebrate higher education options like associates degrees, technical institutions, trade schools, job training, and apprenticeships. The author also argues that Arizona should make more funding available to encourage low-income students to seek higher education.

     Richard was pulled from a strange dream (he was a used car salesman in Wisconsin) by a wet nose rubbing against his hand. He half opened his eyes, catching a wall of golden fur and long snout before shutting them tight again and smiling to himself. He rolled over to the other side of the bed and began to fake loud snoring sounds. This always drove Annabelle crazy. His world shook as she lept onto the bed with a playful growl and began furiously licking his face. "I'm up!" he shrieked with mock terror, "I'm up, girl! I'm up!" He pushed her away halfheartedly.

     One more lick and she jumped off the bed, sauntering across the room with a decidedly self-satisfied gait. Another playful growl as she looked back at him just before leaving the room. "I'm up," he told her again as he sat up and watched her leave. He chuckled softly, crawling from his bed and making his way to the closet. She would lay just outside his bedroom door, he knew, making sure he stayed awake and was getting ready. If he took too long, there would be consequences.

     Moments later, Richard emerged from the bedroom wearing blue running shorts and a time-worn Nematodes are People Too T-shirt. "Alright, Ms. Annabelle, lets do this." he said with enthusiasm, leading the way into the next room. He turned on the music, opened the blinds, and turned on both the treadmills that lay in the center of the room. He fiddled with the dials on one, the belt almost coming to a stop. "This fast enough for you?" he asked, smiling widely. She cocked her head slightly, looked directly at him with what could only be described as lost patience, then stepped onto the slowly moving belt. "Sorry, sorry, my mistake." He cranked the speed and incline up, then hopped onto the other other treadmill.

     He began running at a slow, but comfortable pace, playing with dials, nobs, and settings, and doing his best to ignore the judging glances thrown his way. A loud bark from Annabelle broke his false concentration. "Oh, come on." Another bark. "Fine." He turned the speed on his treadmill to match hers, and instantly began feeling the strain in his legs. "Bitch."

Liverpool may have a world-famous football team but can the birthplace of The Beatles – and former Dr Who actor Tom Baker – lord it over London?

Liverpool battles intensely with any city in the UK when it comes to sport, in particular football. With one of Europe’s most successful clubs based in the heart of city, Liverpool FC attracts hundreds of thousands of fans every year to the famous Anfield Stadium.

With a fan base of 588 million across the world, a significant percentage of people living in places like India and Indonesia follow Liverpool FC, making it one of the best supported football clubs in the world.

[Liverpool Street view]

Let’s not forget that there is a blue side to Merseyside, albeit not as well followed as Liverpool; Everton certainly have become a stronger and better known club in recent times.

There is, of course, the Grand National which takes place at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. This annual event has hosted some of the most famous jockeys and rides in the history of horse racing and often entices some of the highest calibre celebrities including the likes of Scottish actor Gerard Butler, model, actress and TV personality Jennifer Ellison plus a host of star footballers and their equally well-known wives, such as Wayne and Colleen Rooney.

If you’re searching for things to do in Liverpool. There are a museums, galleries, two cathedrals and tours to indulge in.

[Cathedral Liverpool]

But we should start by informing you that the world’s most famous pop band The Beatles were from Liverpool so the first stop you should take is to pop by The Beatles Story and find out everything there is to know about the Fab Four.

The Beatles love is never ending in Liverpool and the legendary Cavern Club (which was rebuilt in 1984) still attracting many visitors.

[John Lennon Statue in Liverpool]

One of the most iconic places to visit is The Casbah Coffee Club. This is no ordinary coffee shop, it’s a rock and roll venue started by the mother of former Beatles drummer Pete Best in the cellar of the family home.

LONDON BITES BACK

If we’re discussing sports in London then there’s no place to start than the home of the nation’s football team, visiting NFL teams, part of the Olympics and the biggest stadium in the UK with a capacity of 90,000 fans which is larger than the capacity of Goodison Park and Anfield combined!

[Olympic Stadium London]

If that didn’t quite do it for you the surrounding grounds such as The Emirates, Stamford Bridge and even Loftus Road can hold a further 100,000-plus spectators so football fans in the capital aren’t short of a ground to visit. Branching further out there is the Twickenham rugby ground, which holds over 75,000 fans, along with the Lord’s and The Oval cricket grounds, which host some of the games England take part in.

[Twickenham Stadium]

Sport isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but do not fear. Westminster has a range of wonderful cafes to offer with a range of atmospheric backgrounds.

Let’s start with the Cellarium café. Take a trip back to a bygone age without a time machine and enjoy a rich tea biscuit in a medieval vault.

Or why not take a seat on the long tables outside Wesley’s Caféin Central Hall, Westminster, and soak up some sun? If you fancy something quick, head to Fresco Café Bar for friendly service and great food.

The Battersea Pottery Café is a great destination for anyone looking for a great day out with children.

On the south end of Northcote Road, near the antique markets, the shop at the front stocks Emma Bridgewater pottery, tins, textiles and glass, while the studios at the rear offer an opportunity to let your creative skills go wild.

The best thing is the studio assistants are also trained baristas, who serve up great tasting coffee and tea as well as homemade cakes and cookies.

STATE ROUTE 210 (SR-210) is a state route in the U.S. state of Utah that is the access road for Little Cottonwood Canyon and the ski resorts of Alta and Snowbird. The 13.62 mi (21.92 km) highway straddles the southeastern edge of the Salt Lake Valley before it enters the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon.

Route description

The highway heads south on Wasatch Boulevard from the point SR-190 turns east from that road onto Fort Union Boulevard. The four-lane undivided highway continues south-southwest before turning south-southeast again past the intersection of 3500 East. The route then turns off of Wasatch Boulevard and onto Little Cottonwood Canyon Road past the junction of Danish Road and turns east-southeast approaching SR-209. The route turns east entering the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon and continues east and east-northeast before terminating in Alta.[1]

History

[A view of State Route 210 from Snowbird ski resort] The state legislature defined State Route 210 in 1941 to run from SR-4 (US-40, now I-80) at the mouth of Parley's Canyon south along Wasatch Boulevard to Little Cottonwood Canyon, then east through the canyon to Alta.[2] In 1945, the west end was moved to the intersection of Fort Union Boulevard (then SR-152) and Highland Drive. The route now followed Highland Drive, Creek Road, and Danish Road, rejoining the former alignment at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon.[3] A short piece of Wasatch Boulevard north of 3300 South remained a state highway, as an extension of SR-171,[4] but the remainder was removed from the system. At some point in the 1950s, the connection from Highland Drive to Wasatch Boulevard was moved north from Creek Road and Danish Road to 3500 East and the newly built Bengal Boulevard.[5]

In 1969, the route was moved to Wasatch Boulevard north of the Little Cottonwood Canyon turnoff, placing the western terminus at SR-152 near the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon and removing those portions of Danish Road, Bengal Boulevard, and Highland Drive from the state system. The Alta Bypass Road was added to SR-210 in 1975, providing an alternate route when snow slides close the main roadway.[6] A final extension on the west end was made in 1987, continuing north on Wasatch Boulevard and northwest on a then-proposed limited access extension of 6200 South to I-215. However, a year later, this instead became part of the recently formed SR-190 so that SR-210 would not have to be remileposted.[7]

STATE ROUTE 229 was defined in 1941, connecting SR-210 near Alta to SR-152 (now SR-190) near Brighton along a proposed roadway.[8] The definition of SR-210 was changed in 1969 to absorb this mountainous route, but in 1994 it was truncated back to Alta, the extension having not been constructed.

Nearly two days after the _London Review of Books_ published a lengthy exposé by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh detailing efforts by the Turkish government to stage a provocation to bring the US military directly into the civil war in Syria, the US media has blacked out the report.

Hersh, who has authored groundbreaking investigative reports uncovering US atrocities, including the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War and the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib during the Iraq war, titled his article on last August’s sarin gas attack outside of Damascus “The Red Line and the Rat Line.”

The “red line” refers to President Obama’s threat to attack Syria if the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons. The “rat line” was a CIA-organized supply chain running from Benghazi, Libya through southern Turkey and into Syria, which was used to smuggle weapons to the Syrian “rebels.”

The article describes efforts by the Turkish government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to assist Syrian “rebels” of the al-Nusra Front, an Islamist force linked to Al Qaeda, in staging the poison gas attack on Ghouta on August 21, 2013.

Hundreds died in the atrocity, which the Obama White House seized on as a _casus belli_ to bomb Syria. Faced with deep divisions within the American state and problems mobilizing US allies in Europe, and broad popular opposition to a new war in the Middle East, Obama eventually pulled back and in September accepted a face-saving deal brokered by Russian President Vladimir Putin for the supervised destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons stocks.

The Syrian government denied responsibility for the Ghouta attack and blamed the “rebels,” who had every reason to carry out the action, which coincided with the arrival of United Nations weapons inspectors in Damascus to investigate previous gas attacks. At the time of the attack, Syrian government forces were retaking areas previously held by the US-backed opposition, which was in disarray and on the point of collapse. It desperately needed a supposed government atrocity to provide a pretext for direct US military intervention against the Assad regime.

Hersh’s report substantiates the Syrian government’s claims, using documents and accounts from US intelligence and military sources. It also provides evidence that President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry and other US officials knowingly lied to the American people when they insisted that only the Assad regime could have carried out the Ghouta attack and that US intelligence agencies had proof that Syrian government forces were responsible. (See: New exposé by Seymour Hersh: Turkey staged gas attack to provoke US war on Syria)

Last December, Hersh published an initial account of the Ghouta attack, which noted the discrepancies and contradictions in the official US accounts and exposed media propaganda such as the now-retracted claim by the _New York Times_ that its own technical analysis of the attack proved that only the Syrian military could have fired the gas shells. Hersh’s conclusion at that time, reflected in the headline “Whose Sarin?” was that it was still unclear who was responsible for the gas attack.

The latest account provides an important new finding—that the Turkish government worked with the al-Nusra Front to engineer the gas attack and blame it on Assad in order to provide a means for the Obama administration to override popular opposition to another US war in the Middle East and launch military action in Syria.

A former intelligence official told Hersh, “We now know it was a covert action planned by Erdogan’s people to push Obama over the red line … They had to escalate to a gas attack in or near Damascus … The deal was to do something spectacular.”

Hersh has been unable to get his reports published by major American media outlets. Both of his Syrian exposés appeared in the online edition of the _London Review of Books,_ not in the _New Yorker_, where he was published for many years, or any daily newspaper.

Since the new article was posted early Sunday morning, there has been total silence in the mainstream US press. The _New York Times_ and _Washington Post_, the two leading dailies, said nothing. The _Times_ published a long account Monday of fighting in Syria with no mention of Hersh’s report.

The main British dailies have also been silent. The _Guardian_, in addition to censoring Hersh, published a long account of a self-justifying interview on BBC Radio 4 by the notorious liar and war criminal Tony Blair, the former prime minister, defending the Iraq war and advocating military action in Syria.

The article, written by the newspaper’s chief political correspondent Nicholas Watt, goes so far as to note Blair’s argument that the use of sarin gas at Ghouta was sufficient reason to attack Syria, without referencing Hersh’s exposure of this attack as a provocation, published just 24 hours earlier. The cover-up is conscious and deliberate.

The Turkish media has commented on the Hersh report with a blizzard of vituperation and attempts to defend the Erdogan government. This comes despite the fact that the government recently shut off access to YouTube after someone posted a video of a secret meeting of government officials at which the head of Turkish intelligence discussed staging another provocation inside Syria, such as an attack on a mosque, to provide a pretext for military intervention.

The web site of the Turkish newspaper _Zaman_ published an email sent by the White House press office Sunday night, which read: “We have seen Mr. Hersh’s latest story, which is based solely on information from unnamed sources and which reaches conclusions about the August 21 chemical weapons attack in Syria that are completely off-base.” _Zaman_ also cites “Turkish diplomatic sources” declaring, “These claims are baseless. We do not take it seriously.”

The left-liberal magazine _Nation_ commented briefly on Hersh’s first article on the Ghouta attack last December. The article by Greg Mitchell took a noncommittal position, declaring, “Hersh’s edgy investigative reporting is usually proven right, of course, but in recent years, one must admit, sometimes wrong. For myself, I’ve never claimed a belief that rebels, not the Assad forces, launched the attacks …” The _Nation_ has not commented on the latest Hersh report.

Also silent is the pseudo-left International Socialist Organization, which has campaigned relentlessly to portray the US stooges and Al Qaeda-linked terrorists in the Syrian “rebel” camp as a mass popular revolutionary movement. The ISO publication _Socialist Worker_ swallowed the Ghouta provocation hook, line and sinker, and has not reported or commented on either of Hersh’s exposés on the question.

Seymour Hersh exposes US government lies on Syrian sarin attack
[10 December 2013]

question: Why did the US government black out Seymour Hersh's report?

answer: Unclear, though it is suggested that US media outlets are not covering the report because it implicates the US in a staged provocation that was designed to bring the US military directly into the civil war in Syria.

question: What is the "red line" and the "rat line"?

answer: The "red line" refers to President Obama's threat to attack Syria if President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons. The "rat line" refers to a CIA-organized supply chain running from Benghazi, Libya to Syria which was used to smuggle weapons to Syrian rebels.

question: What does Hersh's report provide evidence for in relation to the US?

answer: The report provides evidence that the US government knowingly lied to the American people when they insisted that only the Assad regime could have carried out the Ghouta attack, when in reality, the facts show that the Turkish government were assisting Syrian rebels in staging the poison gas attack.

question: How has the Turkish government reacted to Hersh's report?

answer: The Turkish has not responded, but several Turkish media outlets have discredited the report.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: This article details journalist Seymour Hersh's report titled "The Red line and the Rat Line," which suggests that the Turkish government assisted Syrian rebels in staging a poison gas attack on Ghouta in August of 2013, in order to give the US government a pretext for direct military action against the Syrian government and President Bashar al-Assad. The Syrian government has denied responsibility for the attack, and Hersh's report substantiates this claim.

I really do like to eat... here I am feasting on a muffaletta in New Orleans.

New Orleans is famous for its cuisine and the food here is like nowhere else in the world. If you take a holiday to New Orleans, forget about your healthy diet for a few days and simply indulge in the delicious smorgasbord of stick-to-your-ribs Southern cooking that this amazing city has to offer. We had such a blast trying as many different New Orleans dishes as we could and here are a few of our favorite foods that we gobbled up during our stay in the Big Easy:

Our Favorite New Orleans Dishes

[]

Po Boys

Submarine sandwiches are wonderful, so how could you possibly improve on them? How about making the meat juicer, the bread softer and the whole experience much more indulgent? A Po Boy is served on a warm and supple French baguette, with a crisp crust and a fluffy center perfect for soaking up the meaty juices dripping from the hot sausage or roast beef. Po Boys are one of the most well-loved New Orleans dishes and there is even a festival dedicated to them every year.

Jambalaya

Jambalaya was probably one of our favorite New Orleans dishes. It consists of rice, sausage, chicken, sometimes seafood, vegetables and lots of fantastic Creole spices. This dish is similar to the Spanish rice concoction Paella and it is thought that it originated when the Spanish tried to make Paella in the New World and couldn’t get any saffron so they used tomatoes and Caribbean spices instead. This was smart thinking of them, because their cooking improvisation works and Jambalaya is so good that we couldn’t get enough of it!

[]
From Top, Clockwise; Jambalaya, Gumbo, Crawfish Etouffee, and Red Beans and Rice
Gumbo

This is another one of the very traditional New Orleans dishes that we sampled on our trip. It is a rich dark stew or soup with celery, bell peppers, onions and perhaps some seafood, served over rice. Gumbo is thought to have originated in Louisiana in the early 18th century and the theories are divided as to whether it came from West African or French origin. No matter what it’s history, it is hearty, comforting and has a strong and savory flavor.

[]
A Muffalette Sandwich
Muffuletta

When we ordered our first Muffuletta we were shocked when it came to the table. We thought that sharing one sandwich would be a nice small snack, not realizing that this Italian-American immigrant creation is made with a full round loaf of Sicilian sesame bread. One Muffuletta is the size of two sandwiches and with plenty of salami, pepperoni, ham, provolone, swiss cheese and marinated olive salad we definitely got more than we bargained for.

[]

Beignets

There is a famous eatery right in the heart of the French Quarter called Cafe du Monde which seems to only sell two items, coffee and French-style donuts with powdered sugar called Beignets. What it lacks in selection it makes up in quality because these donuts are absolute melt-in-your-mouth sweet heavenly perfection. They are served warm and the powdered sugar gets absolutely everywhere as you try to get them in your mouth and they are totally worth standing in line (and there is almost always a line!).

These are just a few of our top favorite New Orleans dishes that we enjoyed during our visit to this amazing city. Have you been to New Orleans? Let us know what your favorite New Orleans dishes were in the comments below!

question: Why couldn't the Spanish get saffron in the New World?

answer: Saffron is found in Europe and Asia so it was hard to get in the New World.

question: What would have happened if the Spaniards had saffron in the New World?

answer: They probably would not have invented Jambalaya.

question: What are the author's motivations to write articles like these?

answer: The author loves exploring foreign cultures and writing about her experiences.

question: What is something that all the dishes described have in common?

answer: All dishes are European-inspired.

GALLOPING HILL GOLF COURSE is a golf course in Kenilworth, New Jersey, with part of the course located in Union Township, New Jersey. It was designed by Willard G. Wilkinson in 1928, who had previously worked for A. W. Tillinghast's firm, and was subsequently renovated by Robert Trent Jones in 1949; Alfred Tull in 1953; Stephen Kay in 1998 and Rees Jones in 2013.[1] A new bar, restaurant, reception facilities, and clubhouse were built as part of an extensive remodeling to the course in 2013.[2]

The New Jersey State Golf Association moved its headquarters to the club in recent years.[3]

In 2016, it became the first New Jersey State Open held on a public course in 95 years.[4] It offers golf lessons and various year-round state-of-the-art golf training facilities including a 9 hole practice course, 52 driving stalls (20 with heat and protection from elements), 46,000 square feet of chipping/putting practice areas, and practice bunkers.[5]

According to the Federal Writers' Project's WPA Guide (1939), “the club occupies the low, rounded peak of Galloping Hill, so named because of the British military dispatch riders who galloped on the road here [during the American Revolutionary War, which was] an unusual sight for farmers who walked their horses on the steep hill.”

The ghost of a headless Hessian horseman is said to roam the links.[6] At least one ghosthunter has suggested that stories of the Galloping Hill Headless Horseman may have inspired Washington Irving to write _The Legend of Sleepy Hollow_ (1820).[7]
