A tool used to rephrase plagiarised text changed "final solution" to "mass killing of an ethnic group" in a chemistry paper. Now retracted thanks to a PubPeer user who spotted this.
In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.
I will release it!
Two astronauts land on Mars. Their mission: to check whether there is oxygen on the planet.
“Give me the box of matches,” says one. “Either it burns and there is oxygen, or nothing happens.”
He takes the box and is ready to strike a match when, out of the blue, a little green Martian appears, waving all six of his arms and yelling…”No, no, don’t!”
The two guys look at each other, worried. Could there be an unknown explosive gas on Mars?
Still, he takes another match and…
A crowd of hysterical green Martians is coming to them, all waving their arms: “No, no, don’t do that!”
One of the astronauts says, “This looks serious. What are they afraid of? Nonetheless we’re here for science, to learn if Man can breathe on Mars.”
So he strikes a match, which flames up, burns down and NOTHING HAPPENS!
So he turns to the Martians and asks, “Why did you want to prevent us from striking a match?”
The leader of the Martians answers, “It’s Shabbat!”
Y tras el silbatazo final que confirmó su eliminación de la Copa del Mundo, varios jugadores de la Selección de Curazao se fueron al centro de la cancha para agradecer todo lo vivido y simplemente se sentaron a platicar como si estuvieran el barrio.
Siendo de Curazao, se supone que nunca iban a llegar a una justa mundialista. Pero lo lograron. Y pudieron celebrar un gol ante Alemania, lograron conseguir un punto ante Ecuador y emocionaron a todo el planeta fútbol con su entrega, corazón y amor por la pelota.
Esto también es fútbol, señoras y señores.
Llegar ahí, participar y competir dignamente, es su triunfo.
IMPOSIBLE NO EMOCIONARSE.
What a journey it was… 💙
We felt your love, support, dedication and pride for The Blue Wave. The players gave it their all. And so did you, fans!
Thank you!

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.
One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??
The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.
Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
