 "I want to participate in the Tulip Token Individual Coin Offering. How do I know if I won?"

The Tulip Token Individual Coin Offering: An Early Harvest is the first of its kind offering of one and only one, individual crypto token known as The Tulip. It is an experiment in what happens when you blur the lines between art, technology, and human psychology. The Tulip will be sold at auction to the highest bidder over a period lasting the life span of a forced tulip bulb of the Tulipa kaufmanniana 'Early Harvest' variety. To force a bulb means to create an environment in which the bulb blossoms in the winter instead of the spring. The auction begins when the bulb enters a phase of simulated winter and ends when the flower dies.
The mission of this work is to decorate the blockchain itself with wisdom that can live on alongside it. We can look to this transaction and bulb as a reminder of the possibilities and potential as well as the risks and pitfalls. We must be careful to not cut ourselves off from the possibilities of growth. Please read the whitepaper to learn more.
The Tulip token is based on the ERC-20 standard and made available over the Ethereum blockchain. The auctioning platform is implemented as A DApp (Distributed Application). The project has been designed and maintained with thorough testing. You can find the open source code below.

 What can you tell me about "SmartCity"?

IBM has been working on a concept called a SmartCity and would like to unveil it to the world. SmartCity is still under development, so instead of showing very specific things, they wanted to showcase some of the broader ideas encompassed by the project: Less traffic, affordable housing, lower energy costs. IBM really needed to make this feel friendly… as this technology could be seen as intrusive, the design needed to help reinforce the idea that this is safe and to be used for good. I used lots of bright colors from the IBM branding guidelines and boarded out an initial idea or a transition from scene to scene on a dark neutral gray to make the colors pop and show a progress from framing devices. Hexagons, circles, squares, and triangles were used as constraining frame for the first half, showing the limitation of a traditional city. As the story revealed the smart city solution, the framing opened up to reflect the freeing-up of resources.

 Describe the controversy around celebrity chef Pete Evans' health advice.

The Australian Medical Association has accused the celebrity chef Pete Evans of endangering lives with his unscientific advice on fluoride, calcium and sunscreen.
The My Kitchen Rules chef repeated his claims that dairy strips calcium from your bones, fluoride does not prevent cavities and sunscreen is toxic in an interview on Seven’s Sunday Night current affairs program watched by 1.4 million people.
“What do you need a qualification for to talk common sense?” Evan said on Sunday night when asked why he gave medical advice when he had no qualifications.
The Bondi chef and reality TV star said he was doing the interview with his own network to set the record straight about his diet and lifestyle advice and to defend himself against “media lies”. But reaction to his health advice from the medical profession was swift.
The peak Aboriginal health body National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation branded Evans “the kitchen version of Pauline Hanson”.
Filmed surfing with his wife and his two teenage children, Evans said sunscreen was full of toxins and he didn’t put it on himself or his family if they were only spending half an hour in the sun, which is needed for vitamin D.
But he did qualify the advice by saying he used a less-toxic brand when he was in the sun for an extended period of time.
While insisting he believed breastfeeding was the best way to feed a baby, he repeated his belief in a bone broth for babies “who can’t take human milk”. His book with a recipe for bone broth was pulped by the publishers after an outcry from the medical profession that feeding babies bone broth is toxic.
“We promote breastmilk first and foremost,” Evans said.
Evans, who is the co-host of the highest rating show on commercial TV, recently advised a woman with osteoporosis to cut dairy from her diet because of evidence dairy removes calcium from bones.
“We have shared that information in the Paleo Way program and you can read it in many different scientific journals as well,” he said on Seven. “It’s just a known fact. It’s a myth to think that drinking cow’s milk is the be-all-and-end-all for calcium intake.
“The calcium dairy myth is the best piece of marketing I’ve ever heard and they [the medical profession] are going to hold on to that for grim life.
Challenged about his lack of medical or scientific training, Evan said he didn’t need it.
Evans’ wife, Nicola Robinson, said her husband was just trying to make families healthier and insisted “he’s not a whack job”. She said his advice had turned her life around.
“I wasn’t leading a natural life,” Robinson, a former model, said, “which is why I have two toxic, silicon implants attached to my chest.
“Deepest regret of my life. I dabbled in fillers, Botox, all types of things that were driven by my fear to try and make myself feel better,” she said.
Evans is producing a feature-length documentary called The Magic Pill.

 Describe the plant "Little Bluestem". Respond in 82 words.

Schizachyrium scoparium, commonly known as little bluestem or beard grass, is a North American prairie grass native to most of the United States, except California, Nevada, and Oregon, and a small area north of the Canada–US border. It is most common in the Midwestern prairies. Little bluestem is a perennial bunchgrass and is prominent in tallgrass prairie, along with big bluestem ("Andropogon gerardi"), indiangrass ("Sorghastrum nutans") and switchgrass ("Panicum virgatum"). It is a warm-season species, meaning it employs the C4 photosynthetic pathway.

 Write an essay discussing the implications of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision to redraw the state's congressional map. Respond in 52 sentences.

It appeared like no submitted map came close to meeting the Pennsylvania Supreme court order. The public was permitted to cling to this myth until Monday, February 19, 2018 when the Court released its congressional map.
The court order was specific. Local governments might only be split for creating districts of equal population and no other reason.
In the Court-drawn maps, absolute necessity is replaced by the convenience of the Court. The maps submitted to the Court prove Nathaniel Persily, under the direction of the Court, did not make a “good faith effort” to minimize splits to local governments.
This is the number of counties, municipalities, wards, and voting precincts that include one or more splits.
This is calculated by taking the number of times each place is split minus the number of places split. Philly, for example, has 3 total splits (4-1=3).
The rules laid out by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court essentially say splits are only allowed to create districts of equal population. With other maps before them demonstrating the same population equality may be achieved with fewer splits, the map produced by the Court clearly did not make a good faith effort to create splits for population equality only.
Federal Courts tend to overturn a map which fails to demonstrate a good faith effort, especially when it comes to local government splits. The lack of a good faith effort by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court calls into question the validity of the plan they crafted.
Although Wards are included in the Supreme Court Order of the boundaries to respect, the information they released includes no count of the number of wards split. Yet their Order and Opinion Adopting a Remedial Plan praises their treatment of Wards.
This statement seems even more absurd in context. It is the footnote to the assertion they made of their plan’s superiority to all others as it relates to splits.
As was already demonstrated, their plan is not superior when looking at any “census-provided definition”.
In addition, at least one of the submitted plans split fewer wards in Philadelphia. It begs the question: how much consideration did they give to the evidence before them?
The Court Remedial Map appears to take a special interest in which districts include some of the larger cities in the state.
What made these priorities more important than the constitutional framework they laid out in the court order? What becomes of the law when courts are willing to sacrifice the law for convenience?
The Court also ignored any reference to the Voting Rights Act (VRA), providing no information on the impact district lines will have on minority groups. A brief review shows the Court maps retain one minority-majority district, but eliminated the minority coalition district.
It is true that legal protection for a coalition district is ambiguous, but it is also true that minorities in Philadelphia lost out in the new maps. And as was shown previously, this was not necessary.
Turns out that Nathaniel Persily does not understand Pennsylvania geography as well as one might have expected. This is proven by the one split placed in Chester County.
Technically speaking, Chester County is not contiguous. This is thanks to the Twelve-Mile Circle created in 1681 and how Delaware County was separated from Chester County in 1789. Through these outside forces, a small (maybe 1 mile) piece of land became inaccessible from Pennsylvania and just misses remaining contiguous with Chester County by less than 1000 feet.
From a district-making perspective, Chester County as a whole has always been considered contiguous even though it was known to technically not be contiguous. So why did the Court find it necessary to break from this over 200-year-old tradition?
The map produced by the Court splits this small tract of land in which no one lives from the rest of Chester County and places it in a neighboring district. Again, why after over 200 years is it now considered “appropriate” to change how this anomaly is treated?
Such a move is certainly insignificant to the more prominent partisan discussion. But it reflects an ignorance of a geographic tradition which transcends politics. Did this lack of understanding of the state of Pennsylvania hurt the map in more significant ways?
At the end of the day, the Court Remedial Map does little to bring resolution to the underlying issue of a redistricting process without firm, measurable standards. The judiciary should be known as the impartial voice of law and order. Instead, they have given Pennsylvania inconsistency leading to confusion and perceptions of bias.
It is sad to see each branch of government fail in their constitutional duty to protect the rights and freedoms of the citizens. Pennsylvania began down this road through excessive manipulations by the legislative branch. Instead of ending this practice, the judiciary chose another path which once again artificially maneuvers the district lines.
Respecting the law is respecting the people it is intended to protect. Absent this respect, the voice of the people is being lost amid political power plays. When will someone stand up for the citizen? Will the rule of law ever prevail in this ongoing saga? Or will this hope also turn out to be merely a myth?
Thanks for this. I saw this issue myself, but I love how you put it down.

 How do you feel about the President Obama's Justice Department extending certain provisions of the PATRIOT Act?

Despite promises during the campaign that he would review certain of the most intrusive portions of the PATRIOT Act, President Barack Obama’s Justice Department today is calling for Congress to extend all three expiring provisions, though they were “willing to consider” civil rights protections “as long as they don’t weaken” the president’s powers under the act.
Another of the provisions the administration wants extended is the so-called “lone wolf” provision, which amends the FISA definition of “agent of a foreign power” to include people the government can’t establish as having any link to a foreign government or terrorist organization.
Finally they would extend the “roving wiretap” provision in Section 206, which allows the government to wiretap a person and all devices they come into contact with, rather than having to get a warrant to wiretap a given phone or device.
My my…. As I've told my friends I believe that Obama is nothing more than Bush with a deep tan. So it isn't crazy to make the conclusion that this administration is merely Bush 3.
Sad to say I'm beginning to feel the same way.

10. “What if something happens to her?” (Hmm? I hadn’t thought of a back-up. They are practically all the same. If I stock up on enough back-ups they are practically free!
Our choice to have just one child was thought out. We know our limits and are choosing quality of life for the long-term. Our family of three does not make us less of one with missing puzzle pieces. It does not make my husband less of a father, me less of a mother or our child less of a daughter.
Our family of three is perfect for us, and that’s all that matters.

Salt Lake City launched a new campaign Wednesday with the dockless e-scooter companies Lime and Bird in an effort to help residents and visitors understand the rules of the sidewalk.
Jon Larsen, the city’s transportation director, told the Transportation Advisory Committee at its meeting last month that sidewalk ridership remains “by far the biggest concern” with the new technology.
The “Walk Your Wheels” safety campaign looks to mitigate that issue, encouraging scooter riders and cyclists to avoid riding on sidewalks, particularly downtown, and to instead use the existing bike lanes.
The city also plans to spray-paint a “Walk Your Wheels” message on some sidewalks and to add an image of a scooter to the bike lanes.
The campaign comes just weeks after a Salt Lake City emergency room reported a 160 percent spike in scooter-related injuries compared to last year, according to The Washington Post.
City officials have been working to create an ordinance regulating the scooters since Bird launched at the end of June and Lime dropped its scooters on city streets in July.
In the meantime, the companies have signed a temporary operating agreement that limits dockless transportation providers from placing more than 500 scooters in the city’s boundaries. It requires companies to share aggregate data about how many people are riding and puts limits on where scooters can be left (they can’t be dropped in driveways, on private property or on sidewalks).
The city has also set up an email address to field questions, comments and suggestions about the agreement and the new scooters at dockless@slcgov.com.

 What do people think about Alex Azar's nomination for HHS secretary and how will it impact drug prices?

His record suggests he’s unlikely to push pricing policies that would hit pharmaceutical companies’ pocketbooks.
President Donald Trump tweeted Monday that his nominee for HHS secretary, Alex Azar will “be a star for … lower drug prices!” But the record of the former top executive for Eli Lilly, which tripled the price of a top-selling insulin drug while he led its U.S. operation, suggests a different story.
Lilly is one of three drug companies targeted by a class-action lawsuit that accuses the company, then under Azar’s watch, of exploiting the drug pricing system to ensure higher profit for insulin and has been fined in Mexico for colluding on the pricing of the drug .
Azar, who spent almost a decade at Eli Lilly, rising to become president of the drug giant’s U.S. operations before leaving earlier this year, doesn’t deny drug costs are a consumer issue. But his record there and as a top official in George W. Bush’s administration suggests he’s unlikely to push pricing policies that would hit pharmaceutical companies’ pocketbooks.
In recent years, Azar has defended pricing practices, and argued against the approaches to reduce costs to consumer s as Trump endorsed during his campaign, such as allowing the government to negotiate drug prices and importing medicines from oversees.
Instead, Azar has followed the pharma messaging playbook on drug pricing — deflecting attention to other parts of the health system, and even other countries, blaming them for the high drug costs paid by U.S. patients. He’s also justified drug prices as the cost of innovation.
Trump’s focus on drug pricing in announcing Azar’s nomination didn’t win over doubters, who no longer believe he is serious about going after the industry he once slammed as “getting away with murder.” But it will make it easier for critics to pounce on what will likely be the toughest barrier for Azar to overcome during his confirmation process in the Senate.
Sen. Bernie Sanders said Monday he will “vigorously oppose” the nomination of Azar.
“During Mr. Azar’s tenure at Eli Lilly, this multi billion-dollar corporation dodged taxes while charging Americans outrageously high prices for life saving prescription drugs,” Sanders said.
Sanders and Rep. Elijah Cummings commenced an investigation into Eli Lilly’s rising prices for insulin last year, spurring attorneys generals in Washington and New Mexico to look into the matter. The lawmakers questioned why the prices of the diabetes medicine whose main patent expired 75 years ago have seen huge jumps in recent years, with competitors often raising prices in tandem. One of Eli Lilly’s insulins, Humulin R U-500, rose 325 percent in price from 2010 to 2015.
Cummings tweeted that picking Azar is “like a fox guarding the hen house,” and a “slap in the face,” to Americans waiting for action on lower drug prices.
Azar contends the outrage over drug pricing “erupted because we have seen a complete fundamental restructuring of health insurance,” with a shift to high-deductible plans that puts the burden of drug costs on employees and individuals, he said at a conference in May.
While Azar makes a valid point, changing insurance policies without addressing drugmakers’ markups of existing drug prices, or high launch prices for new medicines, “is avoiding the elephant in the room.” said Ameet Sarpatwari, who studies drug prices at Harvard Medical School.
Even Azar acknowledged in his speech that if insurance companies reduced consumers’ out of pocket charges for medicines, those costs would show up elsewhere, likely in premium increases.
Azar has also attacked government regulators and payers for devaluing pharmaceutical innovation, suggesting that if the U.S. cuts pharma profits, it will see decreased investment in new drugs and fewer new cures.
“The narrow focus of costs of medicine to the exclusion of innovation would be self-defeating in the long run,” Azar said in a 2014 speech.
Sarpatwari worries such views will lead Azar to promote the idea that making it quicker and easier for drug makers to introduce new medicines will reduce pharmaceutical costs. Researchers have found that drug companies don’t price their products any cheaper when FDA lets them use the accelerated approval process or other tactics to speed drugs to market. Former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf recently said that despite claims by the Trump administration that faster drug approvals lead to lower cost drugs, there is no direction relationship between the cost of development and price of drugs.
Nonetheless, in June, Azar told Fox Business that getting more new drugs to market to increase competition among brands would help bring U.S. prices down. Yet there’s only one example the drug industry can point to in the U.S. where brand competition has led to lower prices — and many where competitors simply raise prices in tandem. For example, Democrats recently launched a probe into the rising price of multiple sclerosis drugs where drugs introduced decades ago have raised prices to match their newer competitors.
And while Azar expresses support for competition, one of the major factors keeping generic versions of insulin off the market have been drug company tactics known as evergreening — making incremental tweaks to their insulin versions or the devices that deliver it, to extend their monopolies for decades.
An article published in The Lancet in late 2015 found that most of the recent innovation in the insulin market has centered on improvements in delivery devices, blocking generics by agents that are indirectly related to the drug.
Azar has also opposed other ideas to encourage competitive drug pricing. He’s spoken out against studies known as comparative effectiveness research, used to determine which drugs are most cost-effective for treating patients with a disease. He argues that all options should be available since different patients may need different medicines. The problem however, is that if payers must make all drugs available, they have little leverage to negotiate lower drug prices with industry.
The result is that despite Trump’s tweets praising Azar as a champion for lower costs , few fighting for lower drug prices are pinning their hopes on action by Azar.
“This nominee has impeccable big pharma credentials but non-existent credentials when it comes to concerns on drug prices,” said Peter Welch, co-chair of the House Democrats Drug Pricing Task Force.

 Describe the Chinese government's plan to create a technology park dedicated to developing artificial intelligence (AI).

China is building a giant $2.1 billion research park dedicated to developing A.I.
China is planning to build a 13.8 billion yuan ($2.1 billion) technology park dedicated to developing artificial intelligence (AI), state-backed news agency Xinhua reported Wednesday.
The campus will be constructed within five years and situated in the suburban Mentougou district in western Beijing. It will cover 54.87 hectares, Xinhua said.
The technology park will be home to around 400 businesses and is expected to create an annual output value of about 50 billion yuan.
High-speed big data, cloud computing, biometrics and so-called deep learning, a strand of AI, will be the focus of the new park. It will also have 5G mobile internet, a super computer and cloud services, according to Xinhua.
The news follows the Chinese government's announcement in July 2017 that laid out plans for the country to become a world leader in AI by 2013, with the aim of making the industry worth 1 trillion yuan.
China wants to make a "major breakthrough" in AI technology by 2025.
Beijing hopes to help accelerate the commercialization of AI in China in areas such as smart cities, but is also eyeing its military capabilities, something that could worry the broader international community.
Already, the U.S. is taking note. A recent Pentagon report showed how worried Washington was about Chinese firms investing in U.S. start-ups, suggesting that there might need to be tighter controls around this.
On Tuesday, the U.S. government failed to approve MoneyGram's multi-million-dollar merger with Ant Financial, an affiliate of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba.
Some experts including noted venture capitalist Jim Breyer have compared the competition between the U.S. and China in AI to the "space race of the '50s." However, he did say that the U.S. will lead China in AI.
"I don't think they'll (China) be number one, because I think there's still a level of genius and creativity in Silicon Valley that persists and will always persist," Breyer said during a CNBC-hosted panel in November.
Xinhua said the Beijing park will be developed by Zhongguancun Development Group, which will seek partnership with Chinese and overseas universities, research institutes and large enterprises to establish a number of research hubs on the premises. These will include a "national-level" artificial intelligence lab, Xinhua said.

 Explain what is meant by yo-yo dieting.

Yo-yo dieting or yo-yo effect, also known as weight cycling, is a term coined by Kelly D. Brownell at Yale University, in reference to the cyclical loss and gain of weight, resembling the up-down motion of a yo-yo. In this process, the dieter is initially successful in the pursuit of weight loss but is unsuccessful in maintaining the loss long-term and begins to gain the weight back. The dieter then seeks to lose the regained weight, and the cycle begins again.

Hi folks, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Usual Disclaimers** These posts will often contain talk about future work we're doing, or planning to do, that isn't yet guaranteed to ship. The nature of the work could change or, depending on what we discover, projects mentioned may get put delayed or even stopped. If you'd like to see a Tweet whenever a new one of these posts goes up: https://twitter.com/RiotMeddler ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Stoneplate changes partially delayed** Looks like we'll be shipping one of the previously mentioned Stoneplate changes (bug fix so it doesn't give more health than intended when combined with Cinderhulk) in 7.17. The other change (extra health granted is a mixture of base and bonus, rather than all bonus) however will have to be delayed to 7.18. It's tested well and we were hoping to get that in for 7.17 but there's a little bit of technical work needed to implement it bug free so we'll need to push it back a patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Ornn and Worlds** Been seeing the question crop up occasionally of whether Ornn will be playable at Worlds or not. It's an issue we went back and forth on a lot ourselves, our conclusion at the end though was that he shouldn't be available. His release is only a couple of patches before the Worlds patch (7.18) and he's got a lot of distinctive stuff on his kit that could take a bit longer than usual to assess the impact of, upgraded items for his allies especially. We're really excited to see him in pro play, want to make sure we've had time to do any polish that's needed though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **A few 7.18 Balance plans** Some of the champs we'll be looking at in 7.18 below. Since there's a 3 week gap between 7.17 and 7.18 we'll also be doing a second pass partway through the patch development cycle. That means there'll be further changes coming, based in part on how 7.17 performs and pro play on 7.16 which starts this coming weekend. Nautilus - Needs to be buffed. Not certain what we'll do yet, first step is assessing his needs. Panth - We'll likely nerf his early Q damage. Might then put some power somewhere else, make him less about either crushing lane or failing to be usefu. An ult buff's one of the more likely possible changes. Janna - No immediate changes planned, going to be monitoring her closely though to see how the combination of Coin and Ardent Censer nerfs affect her though, with changes later in the patch cycle moderately likely as a result. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Champ Changes not in 7.18** Touching on a few champs we've been testing things for recently that won't be coming back in the 7.18 patch at least: Vayne - Changes likely coming in 7.19. Removing Q's ability to crit and putting power elsewhere's still the plan. Azir - Small update could be as soon as 7.19. Still going well, got some focused testing this week and weekened though which might reveal something new. Udyr - Hoping to have something ready for him before pre-season (7.22) still, need to see how work on him goes though. Yasuo - We've got some good lessons from the Yasuo changes we've been trying, won't be shipping anything for a while however. Extra range on his ult showed some good promise in particular, since it allowed him to better capitalize on his allies' play without giving him more personal power. Will likely revisit that next time we look at Yasuo. Shifting power from his shield to other defensive effects (e.g. base stats) also showed both some promise and some risks.

 What's the Clapper standard in Washington?

Below is an expanded version of my column that ran in USA Today on the approaching expiration of the statute of limitations for prosecuting former National Intelligence Director James Clapper for perjury. This is a city that protects its own and Clapper is the Beltway equivalent of a made man. People like Clapper do not get prosecuted. We do not call them criminal; just complicated.
Indeed, this is a “mistake” that is viewed as something of a mission in Washington. While most people view saying the “least untruthful” thing as the definition of a lie, Clapper was actually staking out a moral high ground in Washington. He actually tried to lie a little when he could have lied a lot. In a city where the moral high ground is measured in centimeters, this passes for honesty.
The Clapper standard will now set the bar for perjury at an almost unreachable height. Here you had an official about a massive surveillance program that was widely viewed as grossly unconstitutional. He then admitted that he made an “untruthful” statement. That however is not sufficient for even submitting a case to a grand jury. In Washington, the determinative question is not the perjury but the perjurer.
So, for all of the other criminal defense attorneys in the Beltway, let me be the first to say “Happy Anniversary, James.” That may sound disingenuous but it is the least untruthful thing I can come up with.

 Have you ever experimented with narcotics?

[p.10]March 17—I have been engaged some time in the study of the effects of Narcotics upon the system, i.e. studying the same theoretically only. Today I found a gentleman who works in the same Laboratory as I, and who has for 2 years been addicted to the habit of eating Hashish or extract of Cannabis Indica. He was very willing to give me any data from his own experience; and gave me such.
March 18—My Hashish eating friend gave me further details at odd times today. Three of us in the University have entered upon the study of the Narcotics in use.
March 21—The result of our work in research upon Narcotics has been tolerably satisfactory. We utilize my friend referred to above, with his Hashish eating experience—and find four or five others whom he knows have also an experience upon the subject. But the effects experienced by the different ones are so widely different that we can scarcely draw a conclusion. The opium habit is well explained by books, and the bad after effects of the same are sufficiently appalling to keep down experimentation upon the subject. But, the ill effects are reported very low in the Hashish or Hemp administration; and we have concluded to try effect of small dose upon ourselves.
March 22—This being Saturday, was the day I selected to study practically the effects of Hashish. This evening, after work and all was over, I took at 3 doses each an hour after the preceding, 5 grains solid extract Cannabis Indica. At this writing—midnight—5 hours since last dose, I have experienced no effect whatever. The effect is said to be widely different in different people.
[p.11]March 23—Sunday. Spent quietly. Have had no result to be noted of my physiological experiment yesterday.
I do not feel inclined to try again till the end of next week—as the realization of the effects of the drug are not desirable on working days.
April 5—This evening—first opportunity which has presented itself—I attempted my experiment on the effects of Hashish as referred to March 22 (page 26). Took in all 15 grains. No effects.

 Tell me more about Korean literature.

This gripping account of the brutal suppression of student riots in the South Korean city of Gwangju in 1980 was the second of Han’s novels to be published in the UK (after her prize-winning novella, The Vegetarian). Han’s fans include the human rights lawyer and author Philippe Sands, who described Human Acts as “an intense and magical achievement – a brutal yet lyrical reflection on the universal legacy of injustice seen through the prism of one act of atrocity”.
For decades Hwang has been producing powerful political novels failed to reach beyond small university presses in the US, so publication of this novel in 2017, in a translation by Sora Kim-Russell, was richly deserved. It examines the darker side of modernisation through the micro-society of a rubbish dump. “Hwang challenges us to re-evaluate the cost of capitalism, to see what and who we have left behind,” wrote reviewer Kris Lee.
Charming bestselling crossover fable of female empowerment and mother love involving a plucky hen named Sprout, who decides to escape the henhouse – and the abusive farmer who steals eggs and slaughters birds who can no longer lay – to hatch a chick of her own in the dangerous freedom that lies beyond the farm.
Manwha is South Korea’s best-kept secret – comic strips that young people read obsessively on their phones – and Yoon is one of its superstars. In the beautifully drawn Moss, a young man finds himself pursuing dangerous truths in the town where his estranged father recently died.
Interest in the country’s literature has boomed over the last decade, according to research by the Man Booker International prize, gathered after Korean author Han Kang won for her novel The Vegetarian. Sales of Korean books have increased from only 88 copies sold in the UK in 2001 to 10,191 in 2015, while the number of titles translated into English has doubled over the last five years, from 12 in 2013 to 24 in 2017.
In the past, Korean literary competitions have preferred “highly literary work”, said Jeong, author of The Good Son. “Writers who win the contests generally have studied creative writing or literature – they belong to the same networks. So naturally there aren’t many authors in Korea who write the kinds of books I do,” she said.

 Write an analysis on Cleveland's offense in Game 1 of The Finals against the Golden State Warriors.

OAKLAND, Calif. — You would think that the team facing the Golden State Warriors in The Finals would want to slow the pace down.
But Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said Friday that he wants his team to play faster in Game 2 on Sunday (8 p.m. ET, ABC).
It may seem silly for the Cavs to try to play at the Warriors’ pace, but offensive pace and defensive pace are two separate things. The Cavs can do their best to slow down the Warriors while also getting into their offense earlier.
And the numbers say that the latter would be prudent. League-wide, shooting percentage goes down with the shot clock. And in Game 1, there was a big difference between the shots the Cavs got in the first 12 seconds of the shot clock and the shots they got in the last 12 seconds.
In the initial shot clock (not counting shots after an offensive rebound or situations where the shot clock was off), Cleveland shot 52 percent in the first 12 seconds of the clock and only 36 percent in the last 12 seconds, according to SportVU.
But the Cavs took more than twice as many shots late in the clock as they did early in the clock on Thursday. In the regular season, the Cavs took 48 percent of their shots in the first 12 seconds of the shot clock, a rate which ranked 23rd in the league. They have guys who can bail them out in late-clock situations, but Lue would rather his team not get into those.
Transition offense starts with a stop on defense, but Lue wants his team to push the ball off both makes and misses.

 "Do you have any advice for buying a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree?"

Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Review, Since the name, regarding my personal examine suggests, this kind of a minor shrub is absolutely adorable and also seems to be the same as Charlie Brown's holiday shrub! I believed thus I am sorry for the minor shrub and I also need to maintain it intended for me and from now on I could! It's the ideal measurement with 18″ tall to showcase using a java table or maybe to be at the centerpiece during a holiday season.
I afforded this kind of shrub some megastars due to the fact it is just a fantastic reminder of our own childhoods (at lowest all of us 25-plus-year more aged folks). And also enjoying the actual Charlie Brown the holiday season exclusive. Once more, it is just a pleasant look-alike in the shrub and it's also an excellent chat part!

I loved it because I was able to get another red glass ornament for the replacement. Each and every time I saw it my face just get to smile without any tangible reason. It is not of high quality but I love it. This is the tree that keeps on reminding me the spirit of Christmas since it takes me back to Charlie brown Christmas cartoon.
This is where my sweet memory lies. If anything wrong happens to it I have to get another one before Christmas. It looks simple and can be easily fixed. If it doesn't get you be reminded about one or two things about Christmas then, it may look useless to you. With its simplicity, it is also very cheap you can get one. Am happy since my husband loves it too and keeps on reminding me how many days are remaining to Christmas.
If you are in need of Charlie Brown Christmas Tree don’t rush to the market to get one. First do enough research so that you can get the best at the lowest price. If you buy it from online am sure, the prices will be much lower as compared to when you get it from the shops. Another advantage of online buying is that you get your product at the door step. There is no need of travelling, imagine how cheap it is keeping the amount that you would have used in getting to the market or shops and for transportation.

 Respond in 395 words. Describe the opposition to Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

More Americans oppose the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court than that of any other nominee in recent history, according to a poll from the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.
The survey, taken a week after President Donald Trump nominated Kavanaugh, found Americans deeply divided along partisan lines. While 41 percent of adults surveyed supported Kavanaugh’s confirmation, 36 percent opposed it, the highest unfavorability ranking in data going back to 2005, when President George W. Bush picked John Roberts for chief justice.
Opposition to Kavanaugh is even greater than that against Harriet Miers, the Bush nominee who, amid withering criticism from her own party, withdrew from the running less than a month after being nominated. And the partisan gap over Kavanaugh’s nomination is about twice as wide as it was for Roberts, the Pew survey found. Republicans and Republican-leaning adults were 57 percentage points more likely than Democrats to say the Senate should confirm Kavanaugh.
Democrats’ worry about the court’s direction is higher today than it was in November 2005, when Bush nominated Samuel Alito to replace Sandra Day O’Connor. At the time, 38 percent of Democrats worried that Alito would shift the court too far right, compared with 53 percent of Democrats reacting to Kavanaugh today. The poll, conducted July 11-15 by telephone with 1,007 people nationwide, has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
The data underscore the tough fight that Kavanaugh, who has served on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia since 2006, faces in the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has said he wants the nominee confirmed by the beginning of the court’s next term, Oct. 1. Kavanaugh’s fate could hinge on the votes of four Democrats in conservative states, three of whom are up for reelection this year.
Kavanaugh’s paper trail — from his judicial decisions, as well as two years in the White House counsel’s office under Bush, more than three as Bush’s staff secretary and as a prosecutor for Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr — could amount to hundreds of pages, and both sides are preparing for high-dollar grass-roots and messaging campaigns.
The conservative Judicial Crisis Network has spent $3.8 million on ads targeting Democratic senators in conservative states. Demand Justice, a liberal coalition, has pledged to spend $5 million to block the nominee.

 Explain how to properly use your hands while painting miniatures.

MASSIVE VOODOO: Discovering "new hands"
yesterday was one of the most important day in my painting career... during a quite normal painting day at Roman´s place we discovered a very special mistake in my painting-technique... it´s about how to use your hands while you´re painting.
Step 4) now take your brush and start testing your new flexibility while using your hands and wirst. Your forearms should still relax on your belly/ribs. Take your time and get used to the "new way"
There are 14 Kommentare for Discovering "new hands"
If I use the table to get stability than I will try to correct me.
First when I started painting it was the same with me because at the local hobby store they taught me to lean my arms on the table.It was okay at first but then came the problems.Usually there were a lot of us at the painting classes at the hobby shop and some of the guys just kept on moving and thus kicking the table. You can imagine that while you try to paint the eye of the mini and someone BAMM kicks the table you are leaning on.So after a few of these incidents I developed the same style as written here in the article.
Only there is one difference.I don't rest my hands on my ribs but I lean my forearms against each other for stability.
Also one of my friend have a very unique style because he can only paint while he is lying on his stomach on the bed.He can't paint the same quality while sitting next to a table.
I do the exact same thing. I knew it was a bad habit. Something my dad said when I was younger. But didn't realise just how limiting it was. Thankyou for sharing.
It was really overdue.....Thanks!!! As always picking those simple things that make painting a JOY!!!
@Roman: I edit some of these informations in the text :) thanks for your help!
Heh, I always used this specific position. It is good not only for manipulating miniatures but it is much steadier then resting elbows on the deck AND I can see everything more clearly... (as my eyes are not that good as they were 10 years ago).
realized that position lately myself too, very better painting and my back is more relaxed though.
Hi, I just checked back with the links and pics ... and I can see them, well ... I keep an eye on it. Thanks for your help!
Great instructions and very usefull.
I am also not able to see the pics, but it may be because I am on my phone. I too have been painting for many years (25+, off and on) and have been stuck at the same level for the last several years. Part of it is because my vision is not as sharp as it used to be, but I think this article may help because in addition to giving more hand freedom, this style will also give me more flexibility in looking at the mini. Another reason I am "stuck to my table" is the lighting- how do you adjust for good lighting if you are leaning away? Thank you so much!
Well, we use the lamps arm to bring it in a good position again. If your lamps arm are not long enough or have a bad angle, readjust this issue.
