Five things Jose Mourinho must do as new Tottenham manager
Jose Mourinho is back in work after being appointed Tottenham’s new manager.
The Portuguese, who was sacked at Manchester United 11 months ago, has replaced Mauricio Pochettino on a deal until the summer of 2023.
He inherits a team full of quality but also one on a slide.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some of the issues Mourinho will have to address.
Win a trophy
This will not be an immediate concern, but part of his overall brief will be surely to end Tottenham’s trophy drought.
As well as his high profile, Mourinho’s ability to put silverware in the cabinets will have been a massive appeal to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.
He is a serial winner, lifting trophies at every club he has been at and that was the one thing missing from Pochettino’s reign.
It has been over a decade since Spurs won a trophy and Mourinho will be desperate to change that.
Sort the defence out
A tight defence was once a cornerstone of the Tottenham side, but that has been a key struggle this season.
They have faced more shots in the Premier League than any other side, have kept just one clean sheet and conceded seven in a game against Bayern Munich.
Mourinho is renowned for his ability to build a side that is defensively rigid and he will have to get to work quickly on drilling his new back line to make them far more solid.
Get the best out of contract rebels
Pochettino had it tough after a proposed summer rebuild flunked and he was left with a host of players who had been expected to leave the club.
And most of those players, notably Christian Eriksen, Danny Rose and Jan Vertonghen, have been a shadow of their former selves this season and performed well below standard.
Mourinho must find a way to unite the squad quickly and get the best out of players who could leave the club as quickly as January.
Sort away form out
Part of Pochettino’s demise was due to terrible away form.
Spurs have won just three times on the road since January 10 – all in the Champions League.
Their last away win in the league came at Fulham 12 games ago and that is simply not good enough for a side of Tottenham’s quality.
Putting that right will tie into Mourinho’s ability to toughen them up as they have looked so flaky on their travels.
Convince Harry Kane to stay
While the fate of Eriksen, Rose, Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld may be out of his hands, Mourinho needs to make it his main priority to convince Harry Kane that his future remains at Spurs.
The England captain is under contract for plenty of time yet, but he is a superstar of European football and has always said he wants to win things.
Ideally that would be at Spurs, and his chances of that might just have improved, but it would be a surprise if he was not linked with the super clubs this summer, especially if he has a good Euro 2020.
Mourinho needs to do everything he can to make sure Kane, who had an especially close relationship with Pochettino, still feels content at the club – and hopefully winning matches will help to convince him.

Allegations of Satanistic cannibalism in Germany
Times | Submitted by: Mike in NY
This is the second hand "report": "Babies have been killed, sliced up and eaten by a German Satanist group, according to media reports yesterday, stirring fears that last month’s arrest of a self-confessed cannibal was not an isolated incident." Actually, we suspect this is disinformation likely leaked by a London institute we are familiar with. The story is just too sketchy, details not forthcoming, and there is a past history of fabricating and planting such stories in the area of child abuse and satanism.

Superintendent kept student as "boy"
Times Herald-Record | Submitted by: Sukebe Panda!
"The Middletown school board knew of a relationship between suspended Superintendent Robert Sigler and the 15 year old male high school student he's accused of molesting before Sigler's arrest last week, a source close to the board said yesterday... "Something was brought up in executive session that he [Sigler] may have pulled the kid out of class a lot," the source said.

Yes it was, and yes it was. By this logic, free libraries should have to pay royalties on the books they have. Also very cheap to ride the legislation on the back of a bad skier's corpse.

Plague, Plague, who's got the Plague?
Lubbock Avalanche-Journal | Submitted by: David 'Inky' Scott
"Dr. Thomas C. Butler of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, internationally recognized scientist in the field of plague research, has been arrested after making a false statement to the Feds that samples of the plague he'd been studying had gone missing. A report that 30 vials of plague were missing from a TTUHSC lab set off an intensive FBI investigation Tuesday.  "They’re both important, but people shouldn’t assume that just because I'm gay, I should buy into a certain political party, like the Democrats."

Bananas could split for good
BBC | Submitted by: Monkeynavigated
The problem is that the banana we eat is a seedless, sterile article which could slip the way of its predecessor which was wiped out by blight half a century ago... New Scientist compared the current threat to bananas to the potato blight which caused the devastating Irish famine of the 1840s."

Stay at home Dad needs a new hobby
Wire Services | Submitted by: HawaiianAtheist
Stay-at home dad sees coupon for $200 off a new car. Proceeds to buy 200 copies of said paper for coupons to get a new car. When presented, he's rebuffed, and he claims coupons didn't have Limit one per customer. "Hmmmm... if the papers were 50 cents apiece (Barring the (possible) fact he "stole" them from Newspaper Vending Machines), he spent about $103.50 for 200+ papers. Of course, if it was the Sunday Edition, that's around $310.50. The Wife must be so proud of her husband... or getting a divorce right now."

Lamborghini wrecked by joy-riding jackass
Richmond Times-Dispatch | Submitted by: Drillcop
What do you do if you have no license, four DWI's, and zero coordination? You test drive a $300,000 Lamborghini belonging to a hip-hop star that is being stored at your towing company, then wreck it, abandon it, and deny everything. Oh, and then you go to jail for three years.

Suicide bombing masters: Sri Lankan Rebels
New York Times | Submitted by: LucrezaBorgia
"The Tigers did not invent the suicide attack, but they proved the tactic to be so unnerving and effective for a vastly outmanned fighting force that their methods were studied and copied, notably in the Middle East... Suicide bombers killed one Sri Lankan president, wounded another and killed a former Indian prime minister. They took out government ministers, mayors and moderate Tamil leaders, decimating the country's political and intellectual leadership.They attacked naval ships — destroying a third of the Sri Lankan Navy — and oil tankers; the airport in Colombo, the capital; the Temple of the Tooth, home to Sri Lanka's most sacred Buddhist relic; and Colombo's own World Trade Center. They killed certainly hundreds, and possibly thousands, of civilians, although civilians were never their explicit target."
 Ron Spallone admits the seven-hour shoot for his upcoming film, The World's First 300-Pound Gang Bang, was "disgusting" and the catering bill for the cost more than the actual production."
 And she did it WITHOUT a scope.

the element of trust is about future work, for work already completed, trust is not involved as it is already there
not sure if you understand the concept of open source...
the source code is all published
public known devs use this source code to make the products
but you can continue to try to make fud based on this meaningless issue

jl777c18-Aug-18 12:55 PM
demanding to know my identity might feel like it removes some risk factor as an investor, but really my role has become to create the proof of concept and then other devs productize it. which is what is happened with the DEX, smart contracts, notarizations, scaling and I was never doing any GUI. I cant think of any area where I alone have some critical knowledge, other than I can probabably fix bugs faster than others as I was probably the one to write the code with the bugs

They builded foundation where everybody came after that and started to build up from their code.
jl777c18-Aug-18 12:58 PM
in a bear market, we are not geting new people and existing people are become cheerleaders who push whatever their project does, paid placements dominate the crypto press. it will likely take some years for KMD to be properly understood and valued by the masses at large

[telegram] <Rubinho> btw, as a user i would love to see a development in claiming staked tokens in the ledger... without the need of sharing private keys from one wallet to another (re @Matterbridge_kmdbot: [discord] <jl777c> that's the entire point of police states. yes with cameras everywhere, your every movement can be tracked, with satellites filling in the gaps if they really get interested in you)
jl777c18-Aug-18 01:29 PM
there are many businesses building on KMD already, just look at the ecosystem. many of them are official business, but not all. we dont force people to do things in any specific way
who ends up using the technology, likely will eventually include traditional corporations
but it is hard to predict any specific percentages. if all goes as planned, we will get some nationstates experimenting with scaling solution
and once they see the real throughputs that are dwarfing any realistic usage, then they can consider test deployments
of course that is a very slow process
GatewayBOT18-Aug-18 01:32 PM
[telegram] <Rubinho> yea indeed it is.. expecially with old laws
[telegram] <Rubinho> that dont serve us now
jl777c18-Aug-18 01:33 PM
this is why it will be some small country that does it first
and when they do, their economy will get a giant crypto activity and economic gains
which will entice larget countries to follow
this is pretty clearly written in the cards
so it is a matter to push forward on that. So ultimately I am happy with just a single new user

jl777c18-Aug-18 01:36 PM
just imagine if there was just one small country that had a seamless nationstate crypto that atomic swaps with KMD, BTC, etc
and this nationstate crypto is equivalent to fiat, which can then be sold via forex
GatewayBOT18-Aug-18 01:37 PM
[telegram] <Rubinho> you mean smaller countries have an advantage because it is easier to implement (re @Lennart: Thats what i think could happen anyway. Now struggling countries having an advantage in the future, since they now start looking at crypto)
[telegram] <Lennart> Big ones must wait til their euro and dollar fails
[telegram] <Rubinho> dollar and euro will fail last.. (re @Lennart: Big ones must wait til their euro and dollar fails)
[telegram] <Rubinho> potentially
[telegram] <Dmanx> It can happen sooner than you think (re @Lennart: Big ones must wait til their euro and dollar fails)
jl777c18-Aug-18 01:38 PM
it will create a large demand for that currency, granted in both directions, but not 100% will be immediately converted to other fiat, and if there is a low cost entry into crypto, we could see forex -> small country fiat as a significant cashflow also
GatewayBOT18-Aug-18 01:38 PM
[telegram] <Crypto_mark81> Island is recent example of financial destruction where bad actors were removed allowing good things thrive again.
jl777c18-Aug-18 01:38 PM

Vookoo high level C++ Vulkan interface.
(C) Andy Thomason 2017 MIT License This is a utility set alongside the vkcpp C++ interface to Vulkan which makes constructing Vulkan pipelines and resources very easy for beginners. It is expected that once familar with the Vulkan C++ interface you may wish to "go it alone" but we hope that this will make the learning experience a joyful one. You can use it with the demo framework, stand alone and mixed with C or C++ Vulkan objects. It should integrate with game engines nicely.

- There is no "human nature" to find
- p. 257
Existentialism and Fundamentalism
Existentialism's impact
Bultmann's "left-wing" followers, like the American Schubert Ogden, have concluded that Christianity concerns only the possibility of a new way of existing.
American response
- Reinhold Niebuhr: Christian realism "Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible; but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary."
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer
Christ and culture
Richard Niebuhr: Christian ethicist: Christ and Culture
- Christ against Culture
- For the exclusive Christian, history is the story of a rising church or - Christian culture and a dying pagan civilization.
- Christ of Culture
- For the cultural Christian, history is the story of the Spirit's encounter with nature.
- Christ above Culture
- For the synthesist, history is a period of preparation under law, reason, gospel, and church for an ultimate communion of the soul with God.
- Christ and Culture in Paradox
- For the dualist, history is the time of struggle between faith and unbelief, a period between the giving of the promise of life and its fulfillment.
- Christ Transforming Culture
- For the conversionist, history is the story of God's mighty deeds and humanity's response to them.
Evangelical & Catholic?
Evangelical
- United States. Evangelical theology, with a renewed emphasis on the authority and often the literal inspiration of the Bible, also continues to be an important force in American theology, but it has generally reaffirmed the views Charles Hodge and Benjamin B. Warfield developed in the nineteenth century rather than producing new ideas.
Roman Catholic response
- Rahner said that there is a fundamental mystery, a matter of religious faith, at the heart of all human understanding.
- Vatican 2: Pilgrim people: define "the church" not as the hierarchy of pope and bishops but as the whole "pielgrim people of God."
The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ.

Engagement of Religion
Theology engages Philosophy --again
Recent philosophies
THEOLOGY AND RECENT PHILOSOPHIES
- logical positivists demanded, "How can we design a scientific experiment to test whether or not God exists?
- later writings of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, they have recognized how many different ways language can be used meaningfully.
- Language has also been a preoccupation for French philosophers like Jacques Derrida and François Lyotard, and theologians have recently used their ideas to develop a "postmodern" theology
deconstruction
- Two world wars, the Holocaust, and increasing globalization make such "modern" views impossible to hold in a postmodern world. Derrida advocated the need for a postmodern "deconstruction" of knowledge
American response
- United States. Evangelical theology, with a renewed emphasis on the authority and often the literal inspiration of the Bible, also continues to be an important force in American theology, but it has generally reaffirmed the views Charles Hodge and Benjamin B. Warfield developed in the nineteenth century rather than producing new ideas.
Process theology
- "process theology," has developed here under the influence of Alfred North Whitehead.
- Process theology describes a God who is perfect in that he is perfectly related to everything, who lures actions by love rather than forcing them by power. "He is the poet of the world, with tender patience leading it by his vision of truth, beauty, and goodness.
Theology engages the world
Theology and the world
THEOLOGY AND THE SECULAR
- theology engaging: sciences, biology, anthropology, arts,
- "Big enough God"
- Harvey Cox at Harvard saw a need for Christianity to engagement with secular disciplines as a real opportunity
- related to Bonhoeffer's "religionless Christianity"?
Theology and Freedom
Liberation
LIBERATION THEOLOGY
- That very emphasis---liberating the captives---names the most important field of theology in the last half-century.
- Liberation theology first drew wide attention in the United States in connection with "black liberation."
- James Cone's Black Theology and Black Power, published in 1969, made the blacks' liberation from their white oppressors its central theological theme and addressed whites with warnings rather than pleas for help.
Feminist criticism / liberation
- Looking beyond that, Rosemary Radford Ruether (a prolific theologian committed both to feminism and to Christianity) has written, All theologies of liberation, whether done in a black or a feminist or a Third World perspective, will be abortive of the liberation they seek, unless they finally go beyond the ... model of the oppressor and the oppressed.
Theology and the Religions
- "Yes, I am a syncretist. But so are you.
- Other theologians of pluralism have been less insistent that multiple religions are different ways of saying the same thing. A Roman Catholic priest named Raimundo Pannikar, for example, born in Spain to a Hindu father and a Spanish mother, advocates a more strictly comparative approach.
