 Have you heard about Dirk Nowitzki's surgery?

DETROIT -- Surgery rarely is good news. But in this case, we'll take it.
Dirk Nowitzki had a relatively minor procedure to alleviate a left ankle impingement. Missing the final four games of this season to have the work done is a small price to pay if it means another season of helping the Mavericks' rebuild.
Easy for us to say, right? It's not our ankle.
Nowitzki hasn't come out and said that a return for the 2018-19 season is a done deal, although he's led everybody in that direction all season. Coach Rick Carlisle said that while it looks good, nobody should take anything for granted.
"In life, you never know about anything," Carlisle said recently. "It's been a great 20 years. I'm praying for a 21st year, but no one knows for sure."
Nowitzki could have done without the surgery and gone on his merry way if he was planning on hanging up the Nikes after this season.
Clearly, that's not his plan.
So let's rejoice that the Mavericks and Nowitzki saw this as the right course of action. And by the way, the decision to have this done was made about a week before Thursday morning, when Eugene Curry and Daniel Worrel performed the surgery.
The fact that Nowitzki played 77 of the first 78 games this season before shutting it down to get the ankle taken care of is proof that he still has productivity left in those old, creaky legs.
He averaged 12 points and 5.7 rebounds in just 24.4 minutes per game. Credit Carlisle for keeping those minutes reasonable yet still playing Nowitzki enough to keep him warm and lower the risk of injury.
If you factor Nowitzki's production per 36 minutes played, he'd average 17.6 points and 8.3 rebounds, numbers most players would do anything to achieve. And he shot 40.9 percent from 3-point range, the fourth-best accuracy of his 20 seasons.
Maybe we all were closer to the truth than we thought with all those jokes that they could roll Dirk out there when he's 50 and he could still knock down 3-pointers.
At the least, this ensures that the bridge to the future will be a little further along when Nowitzki does finally leave.
No matter what role he takes on next season -- and it's hard to see it changing much from what he did this season -- he'll be a guiding force for the team in terms of teaching the younger players about winning and being professional.
Some will get it. Some won't.
But what we shouldn't necessarily expect is for Nowitzki to be a sixth man.
While that idea has been tossed around for several seasons, sometimes you have to trust the man in charge about what's best for not only the team but for the individual players. Nowitzki likes going straight from the layup line to center court for the jump ball.
What we all have to hope is that the Mavericks' brass figures out a way to get this team competitive again. While playing hard has not been an issue, more weapons are needed if next season is to build hope for the future. Hitting on the draft pick again. Snatching a meaningful free agent along the lines of Harrison Barnes or Wesley Matthews. The return of a healthy Seth Curry.
Nowitzki deserves that much. And a chance to walk away on his terms -- preferably on a franchise-wide uptick.
Briefly: The Mavericks expect to have some of their players back after virtually all the heavy lifters sat out Wednesday at Orlando. Harrison Barnes, Dennis Smith Jr. and Dwight Powell all could play against the Pistons on Friday night. ... The Mavericks will be getting their first look at Little Caesars Arena, the Pistons new home, which replaced the Palace of Auburn Hills.

 Show us some examples of origami butterflies.

Butterflies are a very popular thing to fold out of paper. Just like in real life you can use all kinds of different colours of paper to make all kinds of different colours of butterflies.
In this post we’re going to take a look at some of our favourite origami butterflies.
First up are these two beautiful specimens from Hiroaki Kobayashi. The paper he used looks very soft and realistic.
Here’s a few more excellent butterflies from Sérgio Queiroz. I have to say that I quite like that chunk of wood they’re sitting on in the photo.
These two incredibly colourful butterflies are wet folded. That’s how you get those very nice curved folds in the centre.
This species is called an Alexander Swallowtail. This one also uses some very beautiful soft and feathery looking paper.
Here’s the same model folded by a different artist with very different colours. Gonzalo always takes such great looking photos.
Here’s a bit of a more complex design with a really fantastic colour change on the body.
This design is really cool and as you can see in the photo on the right, all the legs and lots of other details are folded underneath the wings. The lighting in the photo is really awesome too.
Here’s a really great design from Do Anh Tu that’s much less complex.
Here’s another great design that has some really nice colour changes when you use two coloured paper to fold it.
Tomasz Krawczyk designed this great origami butterfly.
Here are two more beautiful looking Alexander Swallowtails.
Here’s another really great design from origami master Satoshi Kamiya.
This next one is technically a moth but it still looks really great so I’m going to allow it in this post.
The painted paper used to fold this butterfly really gives it a unique and beautiful look.
This one uses a tessellation pattern for the wings which gives it a very unique look. The legs, antennae and other details are really great too.
The whole thing is folded from a single 70cm x 70cm square of paper.
Here’s another really great design that uses a colour change to the wings and the body are different colours with double sided paper.
This is another really great design and it looks quite vibrant with that green paper.
Here’s another masterfully designed origami butterfly from Quentin Trollip.
Next we have a really awesome butterfly that’s folded out of money. The photograph is really awesome too.
Here are three excellent butterflies all from the same book, Michael LaFosse’s Origami Butterflies. It’s really one of the best origami books you can get if you’re looking for butterfly instructions.
I really like how the paper used in this next one is a little bit transparent so you see through the wings a little bit.
Here’s another fantastic and unique butterfly design. The shiny blue paper looks really nice too.
Here’s a beautiful looking butterfly photographed out in the wild. Adriano Davanzo always takes great photos out in nature.
The colour changes in this design make for some pretty nice results no matter what coloured paper you use.
You can’t really see them in this photo but this butterfly has 6 legs on the bottom.
This next one is folded from unryu paper that’s been painted with acrylic.
Hoàng Tiến Quyết has an awesome butterfly design with his trademarked curvy style.
Here’s another one of Michael Lafosse’s excellent butterflies.
Here’s another elaborate design from Andrey Ermakov.
I really like this final image. P. Colman folded a whole bunch of Michael Lafosse’s butterflies with 15 cm squares of several different kinds of beautiful paper. Then he stuck them in a case with pins just like an entomologist would do with a collection of real butterflies.
If you don’t look close you could easily mistake these for actual real butterflies.
Which one of these origami butterflies was your favourite? Let us know in the comments. If you’ve ever folded a paper butterfly yourself definitely post a photo in the comments as well!

 Have you heard about the latest news regarding the Onecoin investigation?

The infamous Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) scheme and so-called ‘cryptocurrency’ Onecoin is under investigation once again. On April 10 the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority otherwise known as Bafin has frozen funds connected with a Onecoin payment processor.
A German-based company called the IMS International Marketing Services Gmbh is under scrutiny for accepting funds coming from the Onecoin organization. In a recent report, the German regulatory agency Bafin reveals they have seized funds in excess of €29m from the IMS firm. The agency states that IMS raked in a total of €360m from the MLM based company Onecoin Ltd., for over a year.
Bafin says Onecoin is part of a vast network of marketing agencies selling virtual units the company declares as a cryptocurrency. The financial regulator says the Onecoin MLM scheme is used in Germany and across the world by many people. However, Bafin calls IMS an “unauthorized money remittance business,” and the company is in violation of sentence 4 of the German Payment Services Supervision Act.
“In its decree of 5 April 2017, BaFin ordered IMS International Marketing Services GmbH to immediately cease and wind down its unauthorized money remittance business with investors in “Onecoin” for Onecoin Ltd.,” explains the German supervisor’s office.
In case IMS should not abide by the order to cease business, Bafin threatened to impose a coercive fine of 1.5 million euros; for non-compliance with the winding-down order, it will also impose a coercive fine of 150,000 euros.
For a highly detailed report on Onecoin’s sketchy MLM practices and proof the virtual token is not a cryptocurrency check out our popular Onecoin expose’ here.
Onecoin and its associated companies have been under investigation in Germany before. Bafin started investigating Onecoin in June of 2016 due to solicited investments through the German bank Commerzbank AG. The bank is the second largest financial institution in Germany and may have accepted unauthorized funds from the MLM organization in the past. Furthermore, the alleged Ponzi scheme has been frowned on by government authorities in Belgium, Nigeria, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and many more countries.
Bafin says they don’t have the power to decide whether or not Onecoin tokens are valid under civil law. However, operations will be investigated says the regulatory agency and “orders may still be subject to judicial review.” Although they can’t legally define Onecoin’s business practices at the moment, Bafin can shut down unauthorized remittances.
“On behalf of Onecoin Ltd, IMS International Marketing Services had investors who had bid to buy “Onecoins” and transfer the sales to various accounts held by IMS International Marketing Services with different banks in Germany and forwarded the money on behalf of Onecoin Ltd to third parties, based in particular outside of Germany. This kind of financial service is classified as money remittance business,” Bafin’s report details.

 Explain what is happening with TVGuide.com

According to sources close to the situation, Yahoo is among the companies taking a serious gander at TVGuide.com, the online entertainment listings, video and news site and mobile app.
Earlier today, Deadline Hollywood reported that its owner, Lionsgate, was in “advanced negotiations” to sell the site for about $20 million to one strategic bidder.
That’s the approximate price, my sources said too, who noted that Yahoo is only kicking the tires to determine if the site would add to its online media efforts and that such a deal is not in a final state.
But TVGuide.com is right in the wheelhouse of Yahoo’s acquisition efforts under CEO Marissa Mayer. She said the Silicon Valley Internet giant was looking at smaller purchases to round out its product line, especially in the mobile area.
Thus, its M&A point person, Jackie Reses, has been looking at “everything in the world,” according to numerous sources, across a large spectrum of arenas. TVGuide.com is in the media space, obviously — another she’s looked at is Los Angeles-based Maker Studios.
Hollywood studio Lionsgate last reported that TVGuide.com has upward of 24 million unique monthly visitors, and also has almost seven million mobile app users.
Lionsgate bought the site and television network in 2009, which also is owned in part by J.P. Morgan’s One Equity Partners.

 What has been going on with the Trump administration lately?

Eric Trump defended his father from accusations of racism on Wednesday by saying the president “sees one color: green”.
In an interview on Fox & Friends, the Fox News morning show that Donald Trump frequently tweets at and about, the president’s son responded to reports that his father had called several Central American and African nations “shithole countries”.
The president’s continued fixation with his businesses – including dozens of weekends spent at Trump-branded properties – has drawn criticism.
Despite assurances from members of the Trump family that they would not mix business with politics now that the family’s patriarch is president, he has refused to divest from his holdings or to release his tax returns. His eldest son, charged with running the family business, has actively raised funds for Republicans allies of his father; one of his senior advisers was “counseled” after promoting Trump products; and a former ethics chief called White House practices “no way to run an ethics program”.

 What happened with the Toronto police officer and the incident involving the Black teen?

A Toronto police officer has been removed from his position with the Professional Standards Unit following allegations he interfered with an investigation into his two sons being charged with severely beating a Black teen last year, according to Mayor John Tory.
A complaint filed to Ontario’s Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD) by Dafonte Miller’s lawyer Julian Falconer in August alleged that police attempted to protect Const. Michael Theriault and his brother Christian Theriault from criminal charges.
The complaint alleged Det. John Theriault repeatedly contacted Durham Regional Police to access information relating to the investigation into his sons Michael and Christian Theriault. It said John Theriault provided false information about injuries suffered by Christian “to aid in the concealment of the crimes” allegedly committed by his sons.
Michael and Christian Theriault were charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and public mischief in connection to Miller’s injuries, which included damage to an eye so severe it will have to be surgically removed.
John Theriault is a 30-year Toronto police veteran who worked in the professional standards unit, which deals with officer misconduct.
In the early hours of Dec. 28, 2016, Miller and two friends were walking to another friend’s house in Whitby when they were allegedly confronted by Michael Theriault, who identified himself as a police officer, Falconer said earlier. Miller and his friends were chased by Michael Theriault and Miller was then allegedly punched, kicked and struck in the face with a metal pipe.
Neither Durham or Toronto police notified the SIU about Miller’s injuries. The SIU was instead alerted to the incident by Falconer in April, which led to the Theriault brothers’charges.

 Respond in 123 words. Provide an overview of the life and work of Rabbi Shemaryahu Gurary.

Rabbi Shemaryahu Gurary, also known by his Hebrew initials as Rashag, (1897-1989) was an Orthodox rabbi belonging to the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement. His father was Rabbi Menachem Mendel Gurary. He was the older son-in-law of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn (1880-1950), known as "Rebbe Rayatz", the sixth Rebbe of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic movement, and the brother-in-law of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe. He worked with his father-in-law in communal service in both Russia and Poland and then arrived in the U.S. in 1940, where he continued this work until his death. Gurary had a comprehensive knowledge of Chassidic philosophy and was a devoted follower of his father-in-law Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, and later of his brother-in-law Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

 Describe the history of 63 State Street in Albany, NY.

You know 63 State Street. It's that skinny building at the corner of State and James in downtown Albany. It's both beautiful and kind of odd, standing all dressed up by itself there, like it's waiting to meet a group of other fashionably-adorned architecture.
The building has been for sale for a while now, and as the Biz Review reported Thursday, it's going up for auction as part of a package with 69 State Street (the large building just up State Street on the corner with Pearl) -- starting bid $1.5 million.
We've always been curious about 63 State, so here's a quick backstory.
The building on the northeast corner of State and James was built in 1876 for the Mechanics and Farmers Bank of Albany. The bank had been located just around the corner on Broadway -- in a rather handsome building that dated back to 1814 -- but it moved so a federal building (now part of the SUNY admin complex) could could be constructed.
The Mechanics and Farmers Bank chose the architect Russell Sturgis to design its new building. He was from New York City and had studied in Europe -- his style leaned toward the Gothic (he was apparently influenced by a prominent Victorian critic who was a proponent of the Gothic style). Sturgis was known for designing buildings at Yale. And he had recently designed a set of two row houses at 298 and 300 State Street in Albany (at the corner with Dove). Those houses are still there.
These photos are a 1907 edition of The American Architect and Building News.
Very much more pretentious and much more successful in its pretentiousness is the picturesque Mechanics Bank in Albany which no sensitive wayfarer can have passed without being moved to some gratitude that its owners should have been moved to employ so artistic an architect. In dimensions and indeed in lay out it is only an ordinary three story house successfully circumvented by the fenestration by the quality of the detail and by the picturesque corbelled turret which emphasizes and adorns the angle. It is a very grateful object in Albany and would be a grateful object in any city of the class of Albany as an addition to its street architecture and as well with regard to its more specific expression as a banking house.
And years later in Architects of Albany, Cornelia Brooke Gilder would describe 63 State as "a sliver of architectural sophistication."
The M&F building is said to be one of the works for which Sturgis is now remembered.
The building looks odd today standing there all by itself, but that wasn't always the case. It originally stood at the corner of two rows of buildings, one along State and the other along James. (This Times Union archive photo from 1935 provides a good look at that corner.) For a while its immediate neighbor on State Street was the Albany Evening Journal offices (which would later move to a new headquarters down the street in what's now the SUNY admin building). The row along State would stand until the 1960s. The section right next to Mechanics and Farmers building was demolished for a bank parking lot (a bank that was not M&F). And farther along the row was knocked down for the office tower that's now 41 State.
And what of the Mechanics and Farmers Bank itself? It looks like it eventually became the Mechanics and Farmers Savings Bank, which merged with the Albany Exchange Savings Bank, becoming the Mechanics Exchange Savings Bank -- and at some point moved its location to 41 State. In the 1970s Mechanics Exchange was acquired by Dime Savings Bank, which in 2002 was acquired by Washington Mutual.
Most recently 63 State served as the office of Center for Economic Growth for more than a decade. In 2013 the org announced it was moving to 39 North Pearl Street. And the 63 State has been waiting for its next use since then.
This beautiful building appears at the 29 second mark in this PSA, filmed at James Street and State St, October 2014.
I always wanted to dig into that one, so you've saved me the effort. I know it was still functioning as a bank ca. 1990, but when it stopped I'm not clear.
Must say, though, what Albany could use is more sensitive wayfarers who can be moved to gratitude.
Manufacturers Hanover in the late 80s, before they merged with Chemical.
I recall going there to do some banking, probably in the 1970s. I believe my bank was Manufactures Hanover at that time.
Thanks for that story. It is one of my favorite buildings downtown but I didn't know much about it. I hope it finds a good owner and caretaker soon.
I remember when my father was the bank guard there in the 60's till they moved the bank to 112 State. I always thought is was so beautiful inside and out.
I miss the bar at 74 State. I used to go there just to sip wine and gaze across the street at 63.
I have long admired this small, elegant building. With it's gothic architecture suggesting a somewhat ecclesiastical presence, it would make a perfect chancery for our growing National Catholic Church of America. It would provide both offices, meeting rooms and a residence for the chancery staff. The location would also present opportunities to minister to people in downtown Albany.
Remember, too, that a donation to the church of this property would be both providential and tax deductible.
Is it protected by Historic Preservation status?? I sure hope so.

 What can you tell me about Intel's Broadwell GPU? Respond in 22 sentences.

Ahead of its 2014 launch, Intel has started open-sourcing the Linux driver for Broadwell’s GPU. Broadwell is the 14nm die shrink of Intel’s microarchitecture, and while the CPU side of things isn’t expected to change much, Broadwell’s GPU looks like it will be a broad (!) and significant reworking of the Intel HD 5000-series (Iris) GPU found in Haswell. This would seem to confirm that Intel is moving towards a modified tick-tock cadence, where the tick is a die shrink and the introduction a new GPU, and the tock focuses on the CPU side of the equation.
By generation three and four, Widawsky is referring to Intel’s GMA GPUs (circa 2005-2006), which underwent a huge reworking between the 3000 series and X3000 series. While generation three GPUs only accelerated a few features in hardware (i.e. it leaned heavily on the CPU for support), generation four GPUs were much closer to the modern idea of a GPU, with lots of fixed function units and a handful of programmable execution units. Haswell’s GPU (HD 5000/Iris) was generation seven, and Broadwell is generation eight.
Intel’s GMA was succeeded by HD, and for the last few years — especially since Ivy Bridge — it has been fairly rapidly accelerating towards a performance level that’s viable for, believe it or not, light gaming. Between the generations — 2000, to 3000, and now to 4000/5000 — performance has been boosted by around 20%. This is in-line with fairly small, evolutionary changes, rather than sweeping architectural changes. With generation eight — Broadwell’s GPU — we are expecting a 40% performance boost over Haswell. This should mean that, where Haswell allowed us to play mid-range games at 1366×768, Broadwell might finally open up 1920×1080 gaming on an integrated GPU.
As far as actual details of the Broadwell GPU go, we turn to Phoronix. Interrupt registers have been reorganized, PTEs (page table entries) have been reworked to more closely resemble x86’s PTEs, address space has been increased, and the per-process GTT (graphics translation table) has been changed. This is all very low-level stuff that mostly affects execution and memory management. We should know more about user-facing (and less-arcane) changes once Intel pushes out the user space drivers.
Broadwell was initially intended to land at the end of 2013, but due to defect densities Intel was forced to postpone until sometime in 2014 (some reports say mid-2014, others say late). Beyond the new GPU, Broadwell will mostly be notable for the 14nm die shrink, which Intel claims will reduce power consumption by 30%. Broadwell should also see the introduction of motherboards with soldered-on chips (BGA) rather than socketed (LGA). LGA Broadwell chips should still be available, though the timeline for their availability may be considerably different. BGA can reduce power consumption yet further, at the expense of upgradeability — but in the case of tablets and smartphones, which Broadwell will target, weight, thickness, and battery life are far more important.

 Describe the controversy surrounding Ed Rogers, a lobbyist for Saudi Arabia and columnist for the Washington Post.

The ultimatum came after the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, who was a columnist for the Post and wrote critically of the Saudi government. Khashoggi, who was living in Virginia, was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this month, and allegations that he was killed by Saudi authorities have strained the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia.
The lobbyist, Ed Rogers, chairman of the BGR Group, writes for the newspaper’s PostPartisan blog.
Kristine Coratti Kelly, a spokeswoman for the Post, confirmed that the newspaper told Rogers he’d no longer be able to contribute if he continued to lobby for Saudi Arabia. She declined to comment further.
The Saudi government was a lucrative client of Rogers’, but BGR said Monday it would no longer lobby for the kingdom. The firm didn’t provide a reason. The contract was worth $80,000 a month, according to a Justice Department filing.
It’s not clear what role the Post’s ultimatum played in BGR’s decision to stop lobbying for Saudi Arabia. Rogers declined to comment.
The Post has advocated aggressively on behalf of Khashoggi since his disappearance. Fred Ryan, the Post’s publisher and chief executive, called on the Trump administration Tuesday to “push harder for the truth” from Saudi Arabia.
“Until we have a full account and full accountability, it cannot be business as usual with the Saudi government,” Ryan said in a statement.
Rogers has lobbied for several foreign governments in addition to Saudi Arabia, including Bahrain, Azerbaijan and the Kurdish regional government. He worked in the White House under Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush before co-founding the firm.
As a “founding member of a lobbying firm with a wide-ranging portfolio and a presumably enormous income, literally everything he writes suffers from crippling conflicts of interest,” Chait wrote last year.
Two other Washington firms, the Harbour Group and the Glover Park Group, have also dropped Saudi Arabia as a client over the past week.
CLARIFICATION: This story has been updated in the second paragraph to clarify that Khashoggi was living in Virginia. While he has been widely described as a U.S. permanent resident, including in the Washington Post, a U.S. administration official said he did not have that status. The Washington Post did not immediately respond to a request to clarify Khashoggi’s immigration status.

 Explain why Carl Icahn sold millions of steel-related stocks before President Trump announced tariffs. Respond in detail.

Before Trump Announced Tariffs, Icahn Sold Off Millions In Steel-Related Stocks A special adviser to the president until August 2017, Carl Icahn has earlier said he never had access to nonpublic information or profited from his onetime position in the administration.
Carl Icahn quit his job as a special adviser to the president in August of last year, hours before an article about the conflicts of interest created by his advisory role published in The New Yorker.
Carl Icahn, a billionaire investor and Trump's former "special adviser to the president on regulatory reform," sold the shares between Feb. 12 and Feb. 22, according to an SEC filing that was first reported on by the left-leaning website ThinkProgress.
The shares Icahn sold, in the Manitowoc Company, have lost value fairly steadily over the past month but took another tumble Thursday and Friday after Trump announced that he would impose a 25 percent tariff on imported steel.
Manitowoc is a global manufacturer of cranes and is therefore highly dependent on steel. Reuters mentioned that the company's stock fell more than 6 percent Thursday in a story about how companies around the world were reacting to the tariff announcement.
Icahn sold the stock for between $32 and $34 a share in February, but the price of a share at market close on Friday was $26.93. The sale represented roughly a third of Icahn's total ownership stake in the company, according to CNBC.
"After the trades, Icahn owned 4.85 percent of the company, down from his previous stake of 7.5 percent," CNBC's Tae Kim reported. The resulting 4.85 percent stake means Icahn does not have to report further sales of the company's stock to the SEC, according to The Street.
Before last month, Icahn had not been active with the Manitowoc stocks in years, reported The Washington Post. The last time he traded it was in January 2015.
In February, however, he began selling his shares in the company before the public knew a steel tariff could be on the immediate horizon. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross announced that he was recommending the tariff to the president on Feb. 16.
Icahn has not commented publicly about the trades and has not responded to requests for comment by NPR, made on Saturday.
On Friday, a White House spokesman dismissed the idea that the president would have fed Icahn any insider information, pointing to the fact that Trump has long said both publicly and privately that he wanted to impose tariffs.
Icahn told CNBC in an interview on Thursday that he hadn't "had much interaction with [Trump] at all in the past four or five months."
The $31 million represents a drop in the bucket of Icahn's vast wealth. He ranks No. 27 on the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans for 2017, with an estimated net worth of nearly $17 billion.
From virtually the moment Trump named him an adviser to deal with "the strangling regulations that our country is faced with," Icahn faced questions about how the policies he advocated for would help his finances.
He advocated for policies and vetted two Cabinet nominees, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton, as NPR's Peter Overby reported, despite owning an oil refinery company with a significant stake in policies mandated by the EPA and a large stake in a company that was being investigated by the SEC.
He ended up quitting the position in August 2017, just hours before The New Yorker published a long article detailing his conflicts of interest.
"I never had access to nonpublic information or profited from my position," Icahn wrote in his letter announcing his resignation from the role, "nor do I believe that my role presented conflicts of interest."
The decades-long relationship between Trump and Icahn "is one of friends turned foes turned friends," the Post reported. The two businessmen have known each other since the 1980s and had business dealings related to the Taj Mahal casino beginning in the 1990s, according to the Post.

 Describe BarbBlock and explain how to install it. Respond in 24 sentences.

BarbBlock | Chrome extension which blocks requests to sites which have used legal threats to remove themselves from other blacklists.
BarbBlock is a content blocking list with standalone browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox. It blacklists sites which have used DMCA takedowns to force removal from other content blocking lists. Such takedowns are categorically invalid, but they can be effective at intimidating small open-source projects into compliance.
BarbBlock was created in response to a troubling instance where a company used the DMCA takedown process to force a domain blacklist to remove its domain. In reaction to this, some people added the domain to their personal blacklists, even those who weren’t blocking it before the takedown. This phenomenon is called the Streisand Effect, and it (indirectly) gives BarbBlock its name. In essence, this extension exists to automate the Streisand effect.
The initial release of BarbBlock blocks the domain in question, functionalclam.com. If DMCA takedowns continue to be misused for blacklist removals, the extension will be updated to cover other domains as well. Updates are automatic through the Chrome App Store.
As the maintainer of this extension, I pledge to dispute any takedown that comes to this repository. This is not my first DMCA-takedown rodeo 😉. I also pledge to only add domains belonging to companies which have attempted to remove themselves from other blacklists through legal threats, including (but not limited to) “Cease and Desist” letters and DMCA takedowns.
I intend to accomplish a few things with this project.
By calling the bluff of DMCA takedown notices, I hope to show that the takedown filers know their takedowns are meritless and would not stand up in court.
If the extension gains significant traction, it will provide a disincentive for companies to issue takedowns in the first place. As a browser extension and centrally-hosted blacklist, the number of users is more quantitatively verifiable than a bunch of users independently adding domains to their blacklist.
Install BarbBlock from the Chrome App Store.
Install BarbBlock from the Mozilla add-ons site.
Use the links on the install page.
Build a blacklist for your own format with the domain list.
Create an issue with the domains and the label blacklist. In the issue description, add a link to a DMCA takedown notice if available, or else a notice from your service provider that they have received a takedown request.

 Describe the history of the film set at 25 N. Moore in New York City.

The set designers also constructed the four-story loft building to the north, along with a newsstand and a ghost sign. And in the third photo below, note what the Atalanta building at 25 N. Moore looked like before its windows were (re-?)added.
Atalanta was built mostly windowless, for refrigeration.
“Designed by John B. Snook Sons, Architects in an Industrial Style and constructed in 1924 for the Merchants’ Refrigerating Company in reinforced concrete.
Thanks for the great pictures! I remember this—we saw it after it was finished we were disappointed when we realized it was fake. In those years I was rollerblading on the part of the esplanade that was finished, and one morning a hot air balloon floated down the river and there were boats and divers waiting for it to land in the water near Rockefeller Park. It turned out to be used in a scene in the same movie.
My bearings are all turned around it seems. This is where 1 N Moore is, yes?
Wasn’t that lot also turned into a Gas Station for Zoolander?
I remember that! I remember asking someone on set what the movie was called and he said, “Cop and a Waitress.” Kind of wish they’d gone with that.
The older 19th century buildings had classic design look.
i remember this. I thought it was great.
the movie set was on a parking lot but the parking lot had not been there long. in the 1980s, there was a 18th century farmhouse on that lot. the house was torn down because the area was about to be land-marked. apparently, the owner was afraid that land-marking the structure would lower the value of the property so they tore it down.
this sadly was not an uncommon practice. another 18th century house was razed on hudson street near bubby’s for the same reason.
I doubt there was an 18th century farmhouse there in the 1980s, especially since it was apparently not there in 1939.
wow, thanks for finding those photos! clearly, i’m wrong. i think what i remembered as an 18th century farmhouse is the building with the barbershop at 246 west broadway. that building dates from 1910. i believe that the three story green thing that’s on the lot now is newer.
just so you don’t think that i’ve totally lost it, here’s an article with the history of the 18th century farmhouse on hudson street that i referenced.

 Respond in 41 sentences. Provide a discussion of "The Earth Will Shake" by Robert Anton Wilson, including its themes, references, and fans.

"Dante and Beatrice", by Henry Holiday. Beatrice is the young woman in the center.
This week, please read page 169 ("Sigismundo did not sleep the rest of that night. He prayed, or tried to pray") to page 186 ("And Maria knew that, whomever Papa married her off to, whatever else happened in her life, her days would not be those of an ordinary Neapolitan contessa."
I thought that Part Four, "The Priestess," was particularly good.
Notice that a famous obsession is referenced in the text: Page 183 mentions "the Portanari girl from Firenze" and on page 184, "Beatrice" is told to run to Via Dante and get the doctor.
Beatrice Portinari is the woman who enthralled Dante and is mentioned in Dante's works. She lived to only age 25 in Florence (e.g., "Firenze.") She is arguably the ancestor of the "Miss Portinari" in Illuminatus!
I have remarked elsewhere on how Wilson's female characters are strong in The Earth Will Shake, and I think the real women referenced on page 179 shows Wilson's explicitly feminist intent: Women such as Maria Gaetana Agnesi, Anara Morandi Mazzolini and Laura Bassi.
The New York Times obituary for Gene Wolfe has finally run. The paper did a good job.
Everyone who likes to read should try The Book of the New Sun.
The Theater am Kärntnertor in 1830. It's in Vienna, and it's where the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven was first performed in 1824.
We are currently reading The Earth Will Shake, the first of the three Robert Anton Wilson "Historical Illuminatus" books, the others being The Widow's Son and Nature's God.
But in fact RAW had been planning to write four such books; The World Turned Upside Down was announced but never appeared.
I've wondered what was planned to end the series and recently reached out to RAW expert Michael Johnson, who kindly shared his insights.
Michael also noted that plans for The World Turned Upside Down were briefly discussed in this interview.
So why 1824? I don't know.
But one fact jumps out at me: That was the year when Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was completed and first performed. Considering the role music plays in the other books, Beethoven's ties to the Illuminati, etc., that is a speculation that make sense to me -- although, as I said, I don't know.
British writer C. J. Stone (Fierce Dancing, The Trials of Arthur etc. and numerous newspaper columns) takes on Discordianism and the British Discordian scene (including last year's Catch 23 festival) in a new article, "Christopher J Stone discovers that the crazy world of discordian philosophy contains some useful and enlightening truths, as long as you don’t take it too seriously."
He's more influenced by British figures such as John Higgs than by Americans such as, say, Adam Gorightly, which obviously makes sense in terms of proximity, and quotes some of my favorite bits from Higgs' novel, The Brandy of the Damned.
The Discordian documents which fall into Adam Gorightly's possession seem to be in good hands.
Self-help books and advice from others on how you should live remains an important part of the culture, as witness the success of figures ranging from Jordan Peterson to Douglas Rushkoff, so why not listen to what Kerry Thornley has to say?
Adam Gorightly has posted a newly-uncovered document, "How to Live Your Life," by "Jesse Sump," one of Kerry Thornley's pen names. The document, written before Thornley's sad decline, can be approximately dated to the late 1980s, says Adam, whose opinion matters more than most, since he has written two biographies of Thornley, both of them worth reading.
Most of Thornley's advice seems pretty good to me. Relating to entry No. 1: I can't seem to figure out how to search LiveJournal, so I can't give you a link, but I loved Supergee's observation that his grandfather said he could stay busy minding his own business 24 hours a day.

 Describe the situation involving Ezekiel Elliott in the Broncos vs Cowboys Week 2 game.

The Broncos defense bottled up Ezekiel Elliott, whose eight-yard rushing performance was his career worst.
I don’t like what Ezekiel Elliott did Sunday. At all.
With the Cowboys down 18 to Denver in the middle of the third quarter, Elliott, the defending NFL rushing champion, ran a route from the left slot. Quarterback Dak Prescott threw for the receiver just outside Elliott to the left, Dez Bryant; the ball went through Bryant’s hands, and Denver’s Chris Harris intercepted it. At the time of the interception, Harris was about five yards away from Elliott. Elliott immediately stopped and put his hands on his hips and didn’t chase Harris. Harris ran to his left, passing maybe four yards from Elliott at their closest point. Eventually, in a zig-zag course, Harris ran back to his right and was tackled by a Dallas lineman.
I give you the play-by-play to describe without prejudice exactly what happened on an important play in the eventual Denver rout of Dallas. Elliott stopped. Elliott did not chase the Denver interceptor, though he certainly would be instructed by any coach in the history of football to pursue the man who intercepted the ball until he was down. Elliott stood there with his hands on his hips. He did nothing.
It was a stunning lack of effort in the middle of a game that was still certainly in play. Dallas, down 28-10 at the time of the Harris interception, had six possessions after that. So often in cases like this, the player gets a pass. And very often, Dallas players get passes, because the Cowboys take chances on great players who have character or behavior or ethos flaws. Elliott might have all three of those. To give up on that play was horrendous. Dallas coach Jason Garrett has to do something about it—if he has not already. Owner Jerry Jones should back his coach 100 percent when Garrett does discipline Elliott. And if Garrett does not, then there’s something seriously wrong in Dallas.
It’s one thing to be frustrated. It’s another thing to quit. Elliott is a good football player who quit on a play. Don’t sugarcoat it. He quit on a play in the middle of a game that was still a game. And he should not be allowed to get away with it.
Maybe Elliott was frustrated at his awful day (nine carries, eight yards). Maybe the pressure of his suspension and his court case to try to overturn the suspension are getting to him. Maybe he simply doesn’t handle failure or rejection well. The 42-17 loss to Denver was an eye-opener for Cowboys players and coaches and owner Jerry Jones. But that changes nothing about what we saw in the middle of the third quarter, with the game slipping away, and one of the best players on the team giving up on a play he could have tried to make. Inexcusable.

 What do you think about Litecoin in 2018?

The crypto-sphere is full of hearsay and rumor. If nothing else it keeps hopes high in times of adversity, such as right now. Altcoins can go up on a shill or a pump from a whale, and back down on the spread of FUD across social media. It is unlike any other market and is driven largely on impulse at times. Because it is still an embryonic industry, connections can be drawn between large established companies, cryptocurrencies, and potential blockchain adoption.
Crypto-land vented with speculation when Charlie Lee sold off his Litecoin stash and hodlers were left wondering how the coin would survive without its master. Litecoin erupted in December shooting up over 300% in just over a week. It topped out at around $370 and has been on a downward slide ever since shedding over 60% in the process.
According to ZeroHedge, there were accusations of insider trading since Lee was the former Director of Engineering at Coinbase. He has vehemently denied any of this, stipulating that the sale was to avoid any potential conflict of interest with any other companies that may be looking at Litecoin adoption. Lee obviously made a bucket load of cash from the selloff but can now Tweet away with impunity. Additionally, Litecoin started its downward spiral just after Bitcoin Cash was added to Coinbase. Both BCH and LTC are improved versions of BTC in terms of transaction speeds and costs.
With the rise of a small number of big tech companies — and governments using technology to watch their citizens — many people now believe technology only centralizes power rather than decentralizes it. There are important counter-trends to this – like encryption and cryptocurrency – that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people’s hands. But they come with the risk of being harder to control. I’m interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services.
Just like Lee’s selloff to avoid conflict of interest, Facebook’s banning of potential competitors could be right up the same street. If the company was genuinely interested in protecting their users from ‘deceptive practices’ it would take more action against rogue members operating on the platform to spread scams, clickbait, and fraudulent websites. Facebook is still a hotbed of deception and dishonesty with or without ICO advertising, most crypto groups are plagued with this digital detritus. Removing crypto advertising could pave the way for a new partner, it is unlikely to have anything to do with preventing scams.
Either way, bigger things abound for cryptocurrencies in 2018 if only everyone could get over the tsunami of mainstream media FUD and focus on the tenet and technology.
Will Litecoin be boosted by a new partner in 2018? Who will that partner be? Add your thoughts below.

 Provide a descriptive summary of Thrice's new album "Palms". Respond in detail.

A roller-coaster of pure and absolute rock'n'roll.
Celebrating their 20th anniversary of being a band this year, Californian rock band Thrice are two weeks away from releasing their 10th full length album ‘Palms’. ‘Palms’ is being released via Epitaph Records.
Thrice have had the same lineup since their inception in 1998 and is Dustin Kensrue on vocals and rhythm guitar, Teppei Teranishi on lead guitar and backing vocals, Eddie Breckenridge on bass, and Riley Breckenridge on drums. Kensrue and Teranishi lmew each other from school and Teranishi recruited Eddie Breckenridge, who he knew from skating, and Eddie brought in older brother Riley.
From the opening track Only Us, to the final track, Beyond The Pines ‘Palms’ is a hard-hitting, rollercoaster of pure rock. There’s a reason that Thrice have been around for as long as they have, and seen the success that they have and this album just emphasises on why they’re successful. Rock music will always have the tendency to sound the same, but there’s just something about Thrice that screams individuality. Teranishi and Kensrue work perfectly together with their playing styles and both the rhythm and lead guitar pieces intertwine beautifully.
Opening track Only Us was the second single released from the album, and is vastly different from the first track released, The Grey. Only Us opens with electronic sounding guitar and it’s 40 seconds of that and vocals before the drums get introduced. The electronic sound continues throughout the entirety of the track but it compliments what is happening with the drums and vocals perfectly. The Grey, in comparison, has both the guitars, the drums and the bass from the get go. The differentiation between the two tracks is a great starting point for the album and gives listeners a taste of what to expect for the rest of the album.
Track three is The Dark and it’s a little bit slower than the first two tracks and is very guitar focused with the bass and drums playing more of a supporting role than a leading one. The vocal is both haunting and beautiful throughout and will give you chills up your spine in the best way. Next is Just Breathe and the speed picks up again and the drums are the hero of the track. They’re pretty much the same throughout but their so good to listen to that you don’t really mind. Everything Belongs kicks off with an absolutely gorgeous piano piece that continues through the track. The track is a beautiful centrepiece for the record and is the ballad that you don’t expect but can completely appreciate. Kensrue’s vocal melodies play counterpart to the musical harmonies throughout and he gets to showcase his impressive range.
My Soul is next and whilst it’s slow, it’s still a rock song. It’s not quite a ballad, but it wouldn’t fit into the faster part of a set either. The vocals are great on this track but it’s really the music that’s the star. A Branch In The River follows and the opening guitar is fast and in your face and it’s glorious. If you don’t want to air guitar along to the guitar throughout the track then you’re not listening well enough. It has more of a punk vibe than a rock vibe to it but the guitars are just that little bit too heavy for it to be too punk. Teranishi also gets to show off with an impressive guitar solo around the midpoint of the track. Track eight, Hold Up A Light starts with the sounds of distorted guitar before the refined guitars and vocal kick in and punch you in the face. It’s a fast, heavy, ‘everybody look at me’ track and is one of the best songs on the record.
The final two tracks are Blood On Blood, and Beyond The Pines. They’re the perfect two songs that indicate that the end of the record is coming. Blood On Blood is another fast song but it’s less punchy and in your gave than Hold Up A Light. It’s clear the guys experiemented a little bit with instruments on this track as it’s a little different musically and includes another gorgeous piano piece. Finally we become to Beyond The Pines, the final track on the album. The first minute and twenty seconds of the track are just the vocal and guitar before the drum and bass come in. The brothers Breckenridge work fantastically together as a rhythm section and the background drums and bass compliment the vocal and guitars beautifully.

 Explain the meaning of the graph and data provided.

In the week ending August 4, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 213,000, a decrease of 6,000 from the previous week's revised level. The previous week's level was revised up by 1,000 from 218,000 to 219,000. The 4-week moving average was 214,250, a decrease of 500 from the previous week's revised average. The previous week's average was revised up by 250 from 214,500 to 214,750.
The dashed line on the graph is the current 4-week average. The four-week average of weekly unemployment claims decreased to 214,250.
This was lower than the consensus forecast. The low level of claims suggest few layoffs.

 "Should I learn Objective-C or Swift if I want to become an iOS developer?"

While a rockstar iOS developer would know both Swift and Objective-C, the same wouldn’t apply to someone who says to himself “Now I can be an iOS developer without learning Objective-C”, who is most likely just starting on iOS development.
For someone new to the iOS dev world, I would recommend starting out with Swift rather than Objective-C.
Agreed, but only if you want to be an iOS developer of a super-advanced app right away. As someone starting out with iOS development, you most likely don’t need to talk to C/C++ code or swizzle methods or meddle with the Objective-C runtime. You can get to that when you need to.
I certainly agree that “the community talks in Objective-C” in blogs and in Stack Overflow, but that’s going to change faster than we think, especially with Apple being okay about discussing beta stuff publicly.
This is subjective. To me, Swift code looks more readable than Objective-C, and therefore, easier to pick up for a newbie.
Swift does have some seemingly odd behaviours (like copy semantics of Arrays), but I expect those quirks to either go away or get explained in the near future.
I totally agree with this. However, this cannot be a reason to start off learning iOS development with Objective-C rather than Swift.
I would argue in favour of Swift because it’s the future of iOS and Mac development.
Almost anyone starting a new project is going to use Swift. If you intend to be an independent developer once you learn iOS development, it’s a no-brainer to start off with Swift.
While most iOS dev blogs talk in Objective-C at present, a couple of months later, most of the new snippets that get published there are going to be in Swift.
Most importantly, I believe Swift is going to give us completely new design patterns that wouldn’t be possible in Objective-C. For one, I think KVO is going to look quite different in Swift, thanks to closures and property observers. The Objective-C-way will start to look dated in comparison.
It’s a good idea to skate to where the puck is going to be.

 Describe the process of water being created in space.

The water that gushes from your taps may have been created billions of years ago during the birth of a new star.
A team of scientists using the European Space Agency's Infrared Space Observatory reports it has detected just such a water factory in a gas cloud 1,500 light years from Earth in the Orion Nebula.
The vast cloud is producing so much water vapor that, condensed to liquid form, it could fill all the Earth's oceans every 24 minutes, said David Neufeld, a member of the team and a professor of physics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
And the process is likely to continue for thousands of years.
"Although we have only detected this sort of phenomenon in a single source, it seems very likely it's a widespread phenomenon," Neufeld said. "I think it's quite plausible that this could have implications for the origins of water in our solar system."
The findings are being reported in the April 20 edition of Astrophysical Journal Letters by Neufeld; Cornell's Martin Harwit, the lead author; Gary Melnick of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics; and Michael Kaufman, now with NASA's Ames Research Center.
Stephen P. Maran, press officer for the American Astronomical Society, called the findings "another terrific result for the Infrared Space Observatory. They have been picking up water wherever they look," most recently on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
He said astronomers will now be eager to look for signs of water in other places where star formation is going on.
Water is composed of atoms of hydrogen - the most common element in the universe - and oxygen, which is created in the nuclear furnaces of stars.
Astronomers have predicted for 30 years that water vapor would be created in regions of interstellar space where atoms of oxygen and hydrogen are thrown together at speeds high enough to raise their temperature to 200 degrees Fahrenheit or more.
In fact, radio telescopes have hinted at the presence of water in such gas clouds for years. But scientists have been unable to measure it because the infrared radiation the water vapor generates is swamped by the signal from water in the Earth's own atmosphere.
Scientists needed to get their infrared detectors above the atmosphere, into outer space.

 Describe the latest news on Brexit policy.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will have a good set of proposals on Brexit policy ready for a meeting of European Union leaders this month, home secretary Sajid Javid said on Sunday, adding that he expected a positive response from Brussels.
Irish foreign minister Simon Coveney warned of an “uncertain summer” if there was no progress on agreeing the so-called ‘backstop’ arrangement to prevent a hard border in the event of trade talks failing.
“I don’t recognise any bit of that at all. As Home Secretary, as anyone would expect, I’m deeply involved in ‘No Deal’ preparations ... but I don’t recognise any of that,” he said.
