[Q]: Spanish Prime Mariano Rajoy called on Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont to drop independence plans or risk âgreater evilsâ.
 Puigdemont  said  in response to a question from the German Bild daily   he  was not afraid of being arrested.
Neither the Spanish government nor the judiciary has threatened to arrest  Puigdemont   though Madrid accuses him of breaking the law by ignoring a Constitutional Court ruling forbidding the referendum.
On Wednesday  in a televised address   Puigdemont  renewed  his  call for mediation in the dispute but said the results of the referendum would have to be applied.
âWe will go as far as people want it. But without the use of force â  Puigdemont  told Bild. âI am sure that Spain will not be able to ignore the will of so many people.â

[Q]: Among darts tossed at Sen. Ted Cruz after his Twitter account "liked" a sexual video clip was an allegation that Cruz has backed a ban on sex toys . 
It ultimately was Cruz 's duty to defend the law , each lawyer said . 
Krupkin said : "Cruz in his official capacity as solicitor general supported a ban . 
It gets too close to the line when you say Ted Cruz" personally "did this . 
Ted Cruz did that in his official position . 
We 're unaware of Cruz , elected in 2012 and seeking re-election in 2018 , calling for a ban on sex toys . 
The Post 's tweet linked to the newspaper 's news story , which said , without added detail : "Cruz , a Republican from Texas , is known for his strong religious convictions and family values stance -- and once even supported a ban on sex toys ." 
Earlier , the state framed its arguments for upholding the law in a January 2007 brief listing the names of the then-attorney general , Greg Abbott , and five state attorneys working for the agency helmed by Abbott -- including Cruz , Todd and Davis , whose signature alone appears on the brief and , again alone , on the state 's unsuccessful post-ruling motion for rehearing . 
The New York Post 's tweet called Cruz "the same senator who once supported a ban on sex toys ." 
Cruz did not respond to our inquiry for this fact-check . 
This statement incorrectly suggests that Cruz called for a ban on sex toys while serving in the Senate or otherwise personally held that belief . 
There 's no doubt in my mind that Cruz would have reviewed it in some way ." 
"No ," Cruz said . 
To our inquiries , Todd and Gary Krupkin , a Dallas First Amendment lawyer who represents businesses selling such products , each commented that Cruz supported restricting sex toys but that defending state laws also was his duty . 
Cruz was Texas ' solicitor general at the time , making him the attorney general 's office 's top appellate lawyer . 
In his position as a state lawyer , Cruz helped in the unsuccessful defense of a Texas law barring commercial promotion of sex toys -- an action giving this claim an element of truth . 
New York Post Statement : Says Ted Cruz is the "same senator who once supported a ban on sex toys ." 
So , Todd said , Cruz "defended it . 
It 's a stupid law ," Cruz said , adding that he believes consenting adults should do what they please in the privacy of their bedrooms .
[A]: PolitiFact : Cruz 's defense of sex toy law was strictly professional . 


[Q]: * * * France isn’t the first killjoy to quit the smartphone party. In 2015  the Canadian artist Garnet Hertz invented a cheeky device called “Phonesafe ” a masochistic lockbox designed to incarcerate smartphones for a set period of time. Hertz meant Phonesafe as a provocation  but the same idea quickly became a product. Today  you can buy similar  but mass-produced  containers on Amazon  and multi-phone lockers have become a mainstay in corporate offices and schools around the world. A McDonald’s in Singapore has even installed a locker designed to promote “family togetherness” and face-to-face conversation. If you attend a Guns n’ Roses concert or a comedy performance by Dave Chappelle  ushers will require you to lock your device in a neoprene pouch and take it into the show in that state.  The phone-locking pouch  made by a San Francisco company called Yondr   has a wide opening at the short end for inserting a smartphone. A magnetic locking mechanism  similar to those on anti-theft tags in retail stores  engages to hold it closed. After the show  this clasp is swiped across a counter-magnet  which releases the lock.  Yondr  is a surefire way to cut down on bootleg YouTube videos. In Wired  Alice Gregory recently took a tough look at the device. Gregory recounts her experience at a Chris Rock performance  where audience members waiting in the lobby had to forgo smartphone usage. The affair reduced them to “a roomful of jonesing fiends ” as she puts it. Ultimately  Gregory connects  Yondr  to a thorny question about civil liberties: the right of the people to keep and bear smartphones.
It’s an ironic conclusion  because  Yondr  is sold as a tool to provide freedom  rather than to take it away. To “Be Here Now ” as the company’s tagline puts it. It’s a promise to deliver presence—a tricky calling  to say the least. Presence has a long history in religion and philosophy  from Buddhist practices to the metaphysics of the 20th-century philosopher Martin Heidegger. Today  presence is most common in the various mindfulness trends that have overtaken individual and corporate life  in Silicon Valley in particular—collectively the critic R. John Williams has called them “technê-zen.” Cutting through the history and the rhetoric  it’s productive to think about presence in terms of attention. You’re present where you focus your attention—and you only have so much attention to pay. In the case of Chris Rock  he wants attention directed toward him  live on stage. Rock’s show might involve awkward improvisation or new material that he doesn't want circulated online. Teachers are less concerned about copyright than comedians are  but they still demand attention. I have tested Yondr’s effects on mind-wandering in classroom experiments with Dan Smilek of the University of Waterloo Vision and Attention Lab. Our research is based in part on the assumption that instructors want students to focus on the course materials  and not on Instagram  Facebook  or other distractions.  Yondr  can be a remarkably effective tool for enforcing digital abstinence in these contexts  thanks primarily to  its  portability. Rather than locking away devices inside lockers  or even inside a disused Catholic tabernacle  as I have done in a performance piece   Yondr  buffers the anxiety of being isolated from your device.
Given that the mere presence of one’s smartphone can reduce cognitive capacity   Yondr  offers a way to surf between the waves of a device’s presence and absence. You can hold it  but you can’t use it. This might be an especially important balance in classroom situations  where students see a teacher’s “phone shoebox” as an unwelcome imposition of authority. * * * Needless to say   Yondr  is still an imposition. And controlling attention requires more than just locking a device in a binge-breaking neoprene pouch. Joelle Renstrom has reported the results of her own  Yondr  experiment in a class at Boston University  where she had her 30 students lock away their devices over the course of a semester. At first  37 percent of the students found the policy annoying  but by the end of the term that figure had dropped to 14 percent. Those are promising  if tentative  results  but Renstrom’s anecdotal comments about the experiment may be more instructive than the data she collected. Renstrom describes her students’ initial experience of Yondr as “akin to caging a pet  a clear denial of freedom.” Moreover  she observes that some students left their cases unlocked as a sign of rebellion  even though they didn’t remove the phones from them. Rather than becoming “active resistors to technology ” as the scholars Christine Satchell and Paul Dourish call people who choose to ignore their devices   Yondr  users are ultimately the victims of technological disenfranchisement. When implemented as a mandatory smartphone prophylactic   Yondr  becomes a means of control  not of choice  let alone of presence.
Such top-down tactics might be enforced easily at live performances  as one of my research assistants observed firsthand at a Chris Rock show in Niagara Falls. However  as a daily ritual for high-school students  all-or-nothing digital abstinence enforced by an authority figure seems destined to backfire  possibly leading to rejection—or even worse  a legal complaint. In an attempt to tackle this disciplinary problem  I have been offering workshops to schoolteachers that riff on and revise the design Yondr originated. In the workshops  I provide a kit that allows students to make their own digital abstinence case  but with an obnoxiously loud Velcro enclosure rather than a silent  magnetic clasp. This semipermeable design—the Resistor Case  I call it—is intended to promote self-regulation  not authoritarian control. The Velcro acts as a gateway to conscience: It provides just enough resistance and noise to make its owner think twice before opening it. Michael I. Norton  Daniel Mochon  and Dan Ariely coined the “IKEA effect” to name the increase in value people assign to self-made products. With the Resistor Case  I’m counting on a similar effect  that students who fist construct and then choose to make use of their DIY phone lockers might be more compelled to use them. Of course  the kit will only work if the teacher provides a context for it that includes a discussion of responsible smartphone use. (The kit provides a series of cards to prompt this conversation.)
