The king has assigned $500 million for the reconstruction of Lebanon, and $1 billion to be deposited in Lebanon's central bank to support the economy.\nNBC's Kerry Sanders reported from Beirut that $1 billion has already been deposited in the Lebanese Central Bank. Governor Riad Salameh said the infusion will help concerns over the stability of the local currency, the lira.\nRebuke for Hezbollah\nThe king said that the Saudi government had been trying to bring a halt to the violence since it began on July 12, when Hezbollah more than 390 people have been killed in the past 14 days and another 600,000 Lebanese displaced. More than 40 Israelis have been killed, many in Hezbollah rockets attacks on northern Israel.\nThe king's talking of \"Israeli arrogance\" will find broad appeal in the Arab street, where many people have accused their governments of doing nothing to stop the assault on Lebanon.\nNBC's Kerry Sanders in Beirut and the Associated Press contributed to this report.\n“ ”"}

{"text": "Game Day: Houston Rockets at Atlanta Hawks – Will Beard top Superman?\nOct 20, 2016; Omaha, NE, USA; Atlanta Hawks center Dwight Howard (8) in action against the Chicago Bulls at CenturyLink Center Omaha. Atlanta defeated Chicago 97-81. Mandatory Credit: Steven Branscombe-USA TODAY Sports\nHouston Rockets play their fifth road game of the early season facing the Atlanta Hawks. The question fans are eager to answer is who’ll reign supreme James Harden’s Rockets or Dwight Howard’s Hawks.\nFrom the moment free agency opened few Houston Rockets fans expected to see Dwight Howard back as the teams’ center. For as much as Howard provided long stretches of solid defense and helped the Rockets to the playoffs in each year of his residency in Houston there was always something that never quite clicked.\nUpon Howard’s initial signing many hoped he would join the ranks of historic big men who had patrolled Clutch City’s paint. But, with the signing of James Harden the two never found a mutually beneficial way to capitalize on their assets. Sure, they made it to the Western Conference Finals together, but looking back Howard missed a big portion of the games that season. And, in the pivotal come back versus the Clippers both stars sat watching for the majority of it.\nLast season, their inability to gel reached a fever pitch on and off the court. Whether you are of the opinion Howard deserved more touches or slowed the Rockets offense with his limited offensive versatility one thing is clear – both super stars are happier playing without the other.\nIn Howard’s case he’s taken his defensive prowess home to the Atlanta Hawks who currently rank second defensively in the NBA. And chef Harden has his Rockets humming along with the 4th ranked offense.\nThough it may not be as drama filled as Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant’s first meeting it does provide Red Nation fans added drama. Of note\nThe Hawks could offer a good test of the Rockets offense on Saturday. Even after their loss to the Lakers on Wednesday, the Hawks are second in the NBA in defensive rating, allowing 94.7 points per 100 possessions. The Rockets are fourth in offensive rating, scoring 110.9 points per 100 possessions, and are fifth in scoring and field goal percentage.\nas per Jonathan Feigen Houston Chronicle\nHeading into the match tonight there are some key stats adding intrigue to the contest:\n- The Rockets have lost their last 5 meetings versus the Hawks\n- Hawks rank 2nd defensively (94.7), 11th on offense (103. 8) and 4th net (+9.7)\n- Rockets rank 28th on defense (109.0 ), 4th on offense (110.9) and 12th net (+1.9)\n- James Harden leads the league in assists with 12.4 per game, is 4th in points 31.8\n- Dwight Howard ranks 5th in rebounding with 12.0 per game and 7th in blocks 2.0 pg while Clint Capela is 40th in rebounding (7.6) and 27th in blocks (1.2)\n- Hawks rank 17th in 3 point defense\n- This will already be the Rockets 5th road game of the early season (7 of Rockets first 8 games are on the road)\nAtlanta jumped out of the gate with 3 straight wins, but have lost 2 in a row since. Those losses went to the lowly Lakers and last night offered the Wizards their first win of the season. Houston also lost to the surprising Lakers and to the champion Cavaliers but have looked solid in their 3 wins.\nThe table is set, now let’s see whether a chef has the recipe to take down Superman.\nWith that, SCS offers up our Game Day Countdown:\nNext: Atlanta Hawks Off Season Moves\nNov 2, 2016; Atlanta, GA, USA; Atlanta Hawks center Dwight Howard (8) reacts to a play with guard Kyle Korver (26) in the first quarter of their game against the Los Angeles Lakers at Philips Arena.

The Hawks defeated the Rockets 121-115. Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports\nKeys For Rockets:\nFresh legs vs. tired legs: The Rockets haven’t won in Atlanta for their past 3 visits or vs the Hawks in 5 tries. Given Atlanta played last night while the Rockets have been resting since their win in New York they should have the advantage. Therefore Houston should push the pace to take advantage of their fresher legs.\nDefense vs. Offense: Although the Hawks rank second defensively that may be a bit of a misnomer given the small sample size. Atlanta finished last season strong defensively, but they are culpable specifically against their bench which lacks depth.\nUnder rated Millsap: Granted the focus will be on Dwight Howard, however the Rockets need to pay particular attention to another front court player. Paul Millsap could light up Ryan Anderson especially if he defends like has to this point in the season. Not cited frequently enough Millsap is a strong defender who could own Anderson on both ends. D’Antoni should keep his rotations crisp and frequent to push Millsap.\nHarden versus Howard: Let’s face it this is the battle everyone will be tuning in to see. Will ‘the Beard’ light up Howard in the paint or will Superman amp up his defense to protect the paint and own the boards. Notably Howard has tended to have strong showings versus former teams:\n- Hist first game against the Orlando Magic occurred December 2, 2012. In it Howard scored 21 points and grabbed15 rebounds.\n- Howard’s first game versus Lakers in 2013-14 found him scoring 15 points adding 14 rebounds, 2 assists and a block.\n- In his return to the Staples Center (February 19, 2014) to face Mike D’Antoni and his Lakers Howard was more demonstrative scoring 20 points, grabbing 13 rebounds (6 offensive), an assist, 2 steals and 3 blocks.\nUltimately the Rockets may want to let Howard get his opting to focus on locking down the rest of the Hawks. Then again both James Harden and Mike D’Antoni have a history with Howard, so they may not be willing to concede anything.\nNot to beat a dead horse but Houston definitely have the advantage of rested legs, but they can’t afford to get out to a slow start and give the Hawks any confidence.\nClick the following links for full team previews:\nNext: Houston Rockets 2016-17 Team Preview\nNext: Atlanta Hawks 2016-17 Team Preview\nWant your voice heard?

{"text": "Found In: Weddings & Commitment Ceremonies\nJewish law does not require that marriages be performed by a rabbi – only a person sufficiently knowledgeable to perform the ceremony is necessary. That said, state law is stricter and varies considerably from state to state. Most states require that a licensed member of the clergy perform the wedding. Some municipalities, like New York City, insist that clergy performing weddings be registered with the city. Sometimes, if a couple wants a particular friend or relative to perform the wedding who does not meet the requirements of the state, they can use that person’s services and also engage a rabbi or other licensed individual to sign the appropriate documents.\nMany rabbis will only perform weddings for members of their synagogue and their families. You may have to join a synagogue if you want a particular rabbi to perform your wedding. However, there are many other rabbis who do not serve as congregational rabbis, who often perform weddings. In addition, there are independent individuals in many areas who perform lifecycle ceremonies like weddings. To find an officiant, ask around and seek the advice of friends. You can also contact the local board of rabbis which will have a listing of all rabbis in the area.\nYou should meet with whomever you plan to engage as an officiant before you do so. It is important to discuss his or her religious requirements for a wedding and his or her philosophy. You will want to find out if you are simpatico before you move forward. Questions to ask include: basic religious requirements, areas of flexibility, how many pre-nuptial sessions will be required, and general philosophy about weddings -- can the couple design their own ceremony or will the rabbi arrive with a pre-packaged ceremony? If he does, is there room for flexibility? Most rabbis or other clergy will charge a fee to anyone who is not a member of their synagogue. This is also something you should ask about upfront – most locales have a going rate.\nFinally, a warning to interfaith couples. Many rabbis – all Orthodox and Conservative and many Reform and Reconstructionist -- will not perform intermarriages. Even among those who do, their requirements vary -- most will not co-officiate with clergy of other faiths, many require the couple to study Judaism for a period of months and/or commit to keeping a Jewish home and raising a Jewish family. An interfaith couple seeking a rabbi for a wedding often gets a run-around. To avoid this, ask others who have had rabbis who performed interfaith ceremonies whom they used. Alternatively, the board of rabbis often has such information. If you want to understand why rabbis are reluctant to perform intermarriages, read the article on Interfaith Weddings on ritualwell. A final word of caution – while there are independent rabbis and others who will perform interfaith weddings and do a beautiful job, there are some mercenaries out there who will charge an outlandish fee because their services are in demand. Buyer beware."}

If the show's comeback will have you spiralling into an all-consuming GoT hole, then you will probably want to get in on Melbourne's latest themed event. Call your banners and get ready for an immersive medieval-style banquet reminiscent of the series.\nPrepare for a meal that not only replicates the fascinating and often terrifying world of GoT that so many have come to depend on for meaning in life, but will include a brunch feast, lots of ale, and some murderous entertainment. Many details of the event are still shrouded in mystery (much like the eventual outcome of the series), including the date and price. The location hasn't been announced, but will be somewhere in the inner city.\nBut we can guess the specific theme. Taking its cues from a particularly notorious episode of HBO's hit series, this immersive banquet will surely be styled after the Red Wedding. Yes, you can assume there'll be some recreations of scenes from George R. R. Martin's saga — although here's hoping there's no regicide at this one.\nIf, like Jon Snow, you know nothing, then you're in for an entertaining feast. Costumes are welcome, but no pretend (or real) weaponry.\nThe banquet will happen in Melbourne later this year. Further details — and tickets — will be released soon via email. We'll let you know when they are.\nPublished on April 09, 2019 by Dominic Gruenewald"}

She hadn't meant for it to happen at all, but other people kept finding each other, and she was still alone on every night that she wasn't on call.\nIt was New Year's Eve, and she was the only intern besides Derek on call. They all watched the ball falling while standing on either side of a sleeping patient, and Derek said \"Well, you know what you're supposed to do,\" and Addison said yes and kissed Webber.\nWhich was a mistake, clearly. But also worth it.\nAddison kissed Mark for the first time the night she slept with him, which was the night they got caught, which was right when Derek said everything fell apart. If you asked her, everything had been falling apart for a while, and this was just the first time that he noticed, and that was indicative of the problems to begin with.\nBut when she kissed Mark, she could forget that, for a minute, and just be Addison. Which was why she kissed Mark to begin with.\nIt wasn't to get back at Derek. It was to get back to herself.\nKissing Meredith was to get back at Derek. If it were for her, it would have been Izzie, all blonde and pretty and competent. Izzie who reminded her of Savvy, who reminded her of herself. The girl she would have picked if she, like everyone else on staff, felt compelled to date one of the interns.\nMeredith was angles and bones, and seemed so brittle she might break. Addison knew she could break Derek without a word.\nSo Addison kissed her, a warm kiss on the lips. The kind of kiss that changed lives.\nShe hoped it would change Derek's.\nThe last time she kissed him was in the operating room. She liked parallels like that.\nThey both knew he'd choose Meredith. They both knew she wasn't interested anymore.\nIt was much better than she had expected. Their lips barely brushed against each other, and then they were both laughing.\n\"It was always going to be her, wasn't it?\" she asked him.\n\"I loved you too,\" he said.\n\"I know,\" she said, and she did.\n\"Are you going to be okay?\"\n\"Better than I've been in a long time,\" she said. She was surprised to realize it was the truth.\nThe End\nReturn to Grey's Anatomy Fiction\nReturn to Main Page"}

{"text": "How the “Trash Man” and Dad’s Dumpster Rental in Cleveland Ohio are creating a more sustainable future.\nIt’s not exactly rocket science to know that trash needs someplace to go. We don’t often think about how long the stuff we throw out sticks around. Just to give you an idea, most of what we know about ancient civilizations archeologically comes from their leftover trash. That’s just pieces of broken pottery and spear tips! Pretty mild stuff compared to what we throw away these days. Modern material like plastic can stick around for millions of years or more. Only the most courageous of philosophers can ponder the horrifying consequences of this and not go mad. That means for you, yes you, every burrito wrapper, every diaper from when you were an infant, every single bag of potato chips you tore into at 3am in college will still be under the earth long after you meet your end. So it only begs the question, what are the effects of this? Short answer, not good! The EPA estimates the average American creates 4.5 pounds of waste every day. Do the math and that’s roughly 1,600 pounds a year! Excessive waste in landfills pollutes ground water and even the very air we breathe, creating a disastrous future for not only ourselves but also our children.\nTo illustrate this point recently New York resident Rob Greenfield decided to take a strange yet powerful symbolic action. Instead of throwing away his weekly garbage like most of us do, he held onto his trash for an entire month. Eventually he accumulated 84 pounds of trash, which he thereafter used to construct a suit. Like a detritus-filled Michelin Man Greenfield lumbered through the streets, subways, and parks of New York in his trash-suit attracting onlookers as he went. Hugging his left shin like the steel greaves of a medieval knight was a Red Baron’s pizza box. Hanging like trophies of war from his neck were multiple trash bags full of cookies, napkins, and coffee cups. The golden arches from you know who made an appearance as well as delivery boxes, paper plates, and Whole Foods bags. This walking golem of consumerism turned quite a few heads and started several conversations. Greenfield’s goal was simple, to use this act as a way to encourage people to recycle. Thus, the legend of the “Trash Man” was born. One I hope enters into the popular mythos to stand side by side with Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. The sheer amount of trash even a conscientious person like Greenfield created in just one month should surprise anyone. Even more disturbingly, the amount of trash strapped like Kevlar to his body was still a 1/3rd less than the average American creates in a month. Let’s hope one day we can refer to that statistic about waste as legendary too!\nActivism like the Trash Man’s in New York is all well and good, but what about action from the waste removal industry itself? As the old saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” and 460 miles from New York City in Cleveland Ohio Dad’s Dumpsters is finding much treasure indeed. A family run business through and through, Dad’s was started by a father and son team and seeks to service their community through their convenient and affordable dumpster rental service. In the world of small business, sustainability is not only a moral imperative but must always be combined with efficiency. Making their own dumpsters that roll off the truck bed rather than requiring heavy lifting means they can carry their dumpsters on smaller trucks which means less emissions. Here we see a perfect illustration of form equals function and sustainability leading to greater efficiency. A local family-run business like Dad’s Dumpsters is going to feel much more connected to and responsible for their community than an impersonal corporate chain. That is why it is important for society to decentralize and bring our daily economic transactions back to a more personal level. When business owners see the results of their actions on fellow members of their community they can no longer hide behind a bureaucracy. Thus, the environment is helped because of rather than in spite of smart business practices. Dad’s also keeps to a strict policy on what they can and cannot haul, because certain materials like batteries and tires are terrible for the environment and should never be disposed of in a landfill. The future of environmentally sustainable business models lies within small town entrepreneurs like Dad’s Dumpsters.\nWe’ve seen how much our waste can affect the world around us. Thankfully there are a variety of responses from activism to good ol’ mom & pop hospitality in addressing this issue. If we come together we can truly make a difference in our communities and for our planet. Smart daily decisions are what ultimately save the world. Trust me that this is not a piece of garbage advice!"}
{"text": "I still remember my first day of teaching. Eighth grade at Bayside Middle School. I had been hired to teach physical science. The butterflies, my fear I might fail, the wonder of having my own classroom, the hope I would make a difference. Teaching has always been in my blood. I come from a long line of teachers and administrators. It was no surprise to my mom when, at the age of 4, she found me in my room with my dolls lined up on the wall and a chalkboard in front of them. And yes, I still have that chalkboard!\nThe seed to become a teacher was planted well before I was born. I know it is my calling, my purpose in life. But it wasn’t until the 7th grade that I found out teaching science would be my gift. Just like my first day, I can still remember my 7th grade life science teacher Mr. Perino asking us to bring in a sample of water from a pond or somewhere near our house. As he put it we were going to see the life in a drop of water. Life in a drop of water-right! I thought he had lost his mind. Being the rule follower, I did what he asked. From my water sample I learned how to make a wet mount slide, learned to focus the lens on the microscope, and laughed as I put my eye up to the eyepiece and focused.\nBam-there it was-life in a drop of water!\nIt was amazing! I might have even shouted out loud how cool it was, but I didn’t care. Suddenly the questions started flooding my mind-how could life live in water. What do they do all day? How do they eat? I wanted to know more! That one activity launched me on the journey to becoming a science teacher.\nTeachers teach the next generation of lawyers, doctors, writers, mechanics, truck drivers, teachers, nurses, politicians and so on. This one profession is responsible for inspiring children to dream big and believe they can set the world on fire! Sadly, the wear and tear on teachers is showing. Burnout is becoming a real problem in the teaching profession and the numbers of people seeking to become teachers is dropping.\nBut you can help to make a difference in the life of a teacher who may be questioning their value. For this years Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6-10), Just Simple Science wants to spread some love to some special teachers! Do you know a teacher who is having a rough time? Maybe someone who just needs a pat on the back? If you do, please nominate them for our first “Celebrating Teacher” award recognition. We are taking nominations for teachers in the Hampton Roads area who teach in grades PreK-5. Nominations are open from April 12-April 28th. At the end of April we will select 7 winners-one from each grade level and give them a box full of books and other supplies. But we can’t do this with out your help! Nominate a teacher who needs a little pick-me-up! All you have to do is fill out a simple form and we will do the rest!! There is no cost to this-this is our way of blessing public and private school teachers in the Hampton Roads area (click here to see listing of school districts) Let Just Simple Science bless a teacher you know! Apply today! Applications are open from April 12-April 28."}

{"text": "Lifestyle photography is all about capturing the essence of a situation. In this blog, freelance contributor Keshav Sishta shares some tips on how to take good lifestyle photos.\nBy Keshav Sishta\nLifestyle photography can be defined as re-creating real-life situations in a controlled setting. It can be complicated and can take a lot of practice to master. While practice comes with hard work, following a few simple tips can make the whole experience a little bit easier and help to better your skills as a lifestyle photographer.\nHere we have rounded up a few simple steps for you to follow – check them out below!\nLearn to communicate:\nLifestyle photography is all about creating natural pictures. Thus, it is important to communicate with your client before and during a photoshoot. Posing naturally in front of the camera is not something that comes easily to everyone, this is why you have to be patient with your client and explain to them what they need to do clearly.\nPlan and keep it as natural as possible:\nThe whole point of lifestyle photography is to capture pictures in the spur of the moment to make them look natural. Take the time to understand your clients. Ask about their likes and dislikes and make them feel comfortable and accordingly plan your photo shoot. You should even consider suggesting a location based on their likes and personality.\nFor example, if you are clicking a lifestyle portrait of someone who is serious and ambitious, a place like an office would be a good location. If the subject is easy going, a beach location is just fine. For an outgoing person, pick a location like a bar, pub or a restaurant.\nGive directions:\nYou are the professional so your client will most likely look to you for direction. During the photoshoot, help your client with poses and how and where to stand for the best shot. It is also important that you give further directions on how you would like the picture to turn out.\nAnother important issue you will often face is camera shy clients, these people are not accustomed to posing, this is where you should step in and help them feel comfortable and relaxed. Guiding the client to pose correctly, reduces your work of creating good pictures by almost half.\nAnticipate what’s going to happen:\nA good lifestyle photographer, or any photographer for that matter, has a good eye for what is around him or her and anticipates what is going to happen. This is a very important trait to have and one can only inculcate it with experience.\nIn fact, this is one of the key things to remember in lifestyle photography. Sometimes during a photo shoot, you can create unexpectedly amazing results by keeping your eyes open. A good tip to know: keep clicking those extra photographs in-between moments, you never know when they might turn out to be amazing pictures.\nChange your perspective:\nIt is likely that on most occasions you will click pictures from just one perspective. A good way to improve and get amazing results is to mix it up and use another perspective.\nFor example, let’s say that your forte is straight shots. On some occasions, try to mix it up and get pictures from different angles. You could try and shoot a picture from a side angle or even try a top view shot. These days, you can even use drones for lifestyle photography, although they can be expensive, the results you get using them are amazing.\nInvest in the right equipment:\nLike with all photography branches, it is important for you to invest in the right equipment. Only with the right equipment will you be able to click crisp and clear pictures. Apart from a good camera, you will need to invest in lenses, flashlights, filters and studio lights and accessories.\nIf you do not have the budget, you can even rent out equipment for shoots, it is more economical to rent.\nUse your zoom:\nSometimes people are camera shy, others might not be too comfortable getting themselves clicked. In such a case, it is a good idea to use your zoom lens, you don’t have to get close to your subject and there is a chance of getting natural and spontaneous clicks that tell stories.\nPlay around with the camera settings:\nPhotography is a branch of art, so it is best not to stick to rules and play around with your camera setting. Mix it up and use different ISO and shutter speed as well as aperture levels to get varied photographs.\nMan standing beside his wife teaching their child how to ride a bicycle \| Photo: Agung Pandit Wiguna\nTips to take better lifestyle photographs:\nFrom learning to give directions to experimenting with settings on your camera, we hope by following these simple steps we’ve provided you can improve your skills as a lifestyle photographer.\nIf you are looking for accessories to compliment your camera or photography, be sure to head to our website now to view our full range of gadgets.\nAuthor Bio: I am Keshav Sishta, experienced professional from Singapore video production company with extensive experience in corporate video production, creative commercial photography and film projects."}
{"text": "Chocolate Covered BCJ Coffee Beans and White Chocolate Bark Recipes\nThis is the weekend for celebrating with your better half or treating yourself! With these killer concoctions, it simply depends on how sharing… or selfish you want to be! Here at BCJ, we say either way – treat yo’self! Why for those last minute dinner reservations, when these recipes are great for spending a little quality time in the kitchen that we guarantee will pay off in the …. erm… dining room. If you’re not into the whole cupid thing this weekend, they make a great accompaniment to a stiff drink and that carton of ice cream that you deserve!\nI’m talking about chocolate covered Blue Collar Joe Coffee Beans and white chocolate bark. Either can be made with chocolate chips you have in your pantry (though please read our notes\non bloomed chocolate before diving in). There’s even a bonus recipe for coffee infused milk that can be a great addition to milk shakes, cocktails or your Saturday morning hot chocolate.\nSooooo… this versatile recipe collection has something for every level of tasty this weekend. Be it a trail of rose petals, candles and soft music, or “I just can’t even” and Big Bang Theory re-runs…\nWhip up a decadent perky surprise and win the weekend in one fell swoop with some quick, easy and tasty chocolate covered Blue Collar Joe Coffee Beans and white chocolate bark.\nChocolate Covered Coffee Beans\nRecipe by Tara Miller\nYield: ⅓-½ cup of chocolate covered coffee beans (fits well into a jelly sized mason jar in case there are any left)\nTime: 10 mins active time (plus 1 hour for chocolate to set)\nIngredients:\n½ cup of chocolate chips\n¼ cup Blue Collar Joe Whole Coffee Beans (We love the Brazilian Roast )\n1-4 tablespoons of either Coffee, Milk or Coffee Infused Milk\nBe sure to use high quality chocolate that has not bloomed (all uniform color, no lighter, dull patches that\nlook dusty). Bloomed chocolate cannot be brought back into temper and will return to its dusty\nappearance in a few hours. You can use dark and milk chocolate for this.\nTools:\nMedium sized, microwave safe bowl\nSmall rubber spatula\nFork\nParchment lined or wax paper lined baking sheet\nInstructions:\n1) Pour chocolate chips in the bowl and microwave for 30 sec. Remove and stir chips with the\nspatula. Repeat microwaving and stirring until chips begin to melt then reduce cooking time to 10\nsec then stir and repeating until all chips are melted with a uniform appearance. like on those delicious candy bar commercials\nwhen the chocolate pours over some other confection and your mouth waters.\n2) Pour the coffee beans into the melted chocolate mixture and stir them in until fully covered.\n3) Place your lined baking sheet next to you and using your fork, fish out one or several coffee\nbeans at a time and place them on the lined baking sheet. Clumps of beans are great and make\nfor a tasty mouthful, like a coffee bean truffle. Repeat until all coffee beans are deposited onto the\nlined baking sheet and set aside to set. DO NOT place the coffee beans in the refrigerator as this\nwill cause the chocolate to dull.\n4) Once the coffee beans are set, you will be able to pull them off the lined baking sheet easily and\nput them in a container for gifting or storage. I personally love them in a small mason jar or\nacetate bag tied with ribbon.\n Coffee Infused Milk- Prepare 24 hours ahead of time\n½ cup of milk (any milk)\n⅛-¼ cup of coffee beans (whole will need a fill 24 hours, ground can be ready in 8)\nPour coffee into milk and place, covered, in the fridge for 8-24 hours to allow coffee flavor to steep into\nthe milk. Pour coffee infused milk through a mesh strainer to separate spent coffee. Place in covered\ncontainer and use within 7-10 days (milk will expire when milk usually expires).\nWhite Chocolate Bark\nRecipe by Tara Miller\nThe oils in the coffee beans prevent the even coverage required for a good covered coffee beans so to\nobtain a good coffee bean to chocolate ratio a bark seemed a great option.\nYield: 1 ½- 2 cups of bark\nTime: 10 mins active time (plus 1 hour + for chocolate to set)\nIngredients:\n1 cup of white chocolate baking chips\n¼-½ cup of Blue Collar Joe Coffee Whole Beans\n1-4 tablespoons of either Coffee, Milk or Coffee Infused Milk\nTools:\nMedium sized, microwave safe bowl\nSmall rubber spatula\nFork\nParchment lined or wax paper lined baking sheet\nInstructions:\n1) Pour chips into bowl and microwave for 10-15 secs. Remove and stir. Be very careful at this step\nas white chocolate can burn quicker than regular chocolate. Cook at short temps, stirring\nthoroughly. Repeat heating and stirring until chocolate is smooth and completely melted.\nAT THE SAME TIME.\n2) Pour coffee beans into coffee and stir to incorporate. Beans will not be fully covered though you\ncan try if you want, I’m just sayin’…\n3) Pour white chocolate/coffee bean mixture onto lined baking sheet and spread out your\ndeliciousness until it is about ¼” thick. Put aside to set. The bark will take longer to set than the\nregular chocolate because it is in a large piece and white chocolate doesn’t set to the same\nhardness as regular chocolate. Once it is set, break it apart into good sized pieces and store in a\nsealed container like pyrex or gift in a clear acetate bag or festive tin with a tight lid."}

Players earn points by recruiting other sorority sisters to join their house (sorority), work at a job, and take on rivals in catty fights that increase their bank. Much like Mobsters, players can use their “brownie points” to purchase upgrades in the form of accessories, outfits, and level upgrades.\nObviously I’m not the target audience for Sorority Life, but there is a sizeable audience for these types of games.

{"text": "Few assessments of the persistence of slave labor and extreme poverty. Climate change is accelerating, diplomatic relations between the United States and China have reached a new nadir, and the European Union has devolved into a forum for resentment. A project forged to spread democracy has brewed a new authoritarian politics on multiple continents.\nThese horrors were evident before the outbreak of COVID-19; the pandemic has escalated them all. But this is not the first time globalization has run aground. Seventy-six years ago, leaders of the world’s democracies gathered in the mountains of New Hampshire hoping to end the chaos and enmity spawned by the collapse of the global trading system known as the gold standard. Guided by the great British economist John Maynard Keynes, more than 700 delegates from 44 nations sought to establish a new international order in which democracies would cooperatively tame the excesses of high finance in the name of international harmony. The fruits of their labors would become known as the Bretton Woods Accord, and the 25 years of unprecedented prosperity that their effort inaugurated offer profound implications for our own age of calamity.\nFor it is not globalization that has brought us to the brink of the abyss, but the peculiar strain of globalization that emerged in the 1990s—a system in which international financial markets would discipline the bad habits of democratic governments, not the other way around. Instead of linking countries together in shared investment priorities and social goals, the World Trade Organization and other institutions of global commerce have thwarted government interference in the profits of international investors—profits that often come at the expense of public health, environmental protection, and geopolitical stability.\nInternational crises demand international solutions. If today’s leaders hope to escape the havoc on our horizon, they cannot succumb to the temptations of nationalist demagoguery. It is time to relearn the lessons that once brought a generation’s greatest economic minds to Bretton Woods in the summer of 1944.\nThe Mount Washington Hotel was not a healthy place. The American hosts had believed that the resort’s remote locale would ease wartime security concerns, but the building was a relic of another age, and its slapdash upgrades simply couldn’t handle the burdens of the conference. It had barely enough rooms for the 720 delegates, never mind the hundreds of journalists from around the world who crammed the hallways for interviews and photographs.\n“The taps run all day, the windows do not close or open, the pipes mend and unmend and no one can get anywhere,” Keynes’s wife, Lydia Lopokova, wrote on July 12.\nDelegates worked through a haze of scotch and sleep deprivation. Negotiations began before breakfast and dragged on past midnight, ballrooms filling with smoke, talks at times giving way to bawdy drinking songs. (The unofficial anthem of the conference included the line “And when I die, don’t bury me at all / Just cover my bones with alcohol.”) Privately, Keynes half-expected the “monstrous monkey house” to founder on a wave of “acute alcohol poisoning.” Though he was strictly forbidden from attending cocktail hours by his wife, who demanded reasonable bedtimes, Keynes nevertheless collapsed from the event’s sheer strain on the evening of July 19—an episode so severe that German newspapers printed premature obituaries for him.\nBut this boozy mayhem was better than the conference that had made Keynes’s career 25 years earlier. In 1919, Keynes had joined other victors of the Great War in Paris to craft a peace settlement with Germany. With all the delights of the French capital at their disposal, the affair became a vector for the transmission of the Spanish flu, which knocked Keynes into a hallucinatory, bedridden stupor for days. Talks dragged on for six months, and their product—the Treaty of Versailles—had appalled Keynes as a blueprint for authoritarian violence. The compact failed to establish a workable international economic system, Keynes had argued, leaving victor and vanquished alike with unpayable debts that would breed misery and resentment before marching Europe into another catastrophe.\nKeynes’s scathing critique, with the unassuming title The Economic Consequences of the Peace, became a sensation, running through hundreds of thousands of copies on multiple continents. It transformed Keynes from a respected bureaucrat into a bona fide celebrity. In 1925 he had married Lydia—the most famous ballerina in Britain at a time when ballet was the most prominent public art in the Western world. Their wedding had been covered by Vogue and newspapers from Britain to Burma. His reputation as a prophet only grew as Europe lurched between calamities after the war. Everything seemed to show his prescience—the hyperinflation that ravaged the Weimar Republic, soaring British unemployment, and even Hitler’s rise in the 1930s.\nBut for all his intellectual prowess, Keynes had not been able to prevent the gold standard from coming undone. Nothing particularly eventful had happened in the British economy during the summer of 1931. It was a bad year, as all years of the Great Depression were, but the terms of trade or industrial conditions underwent no sudden changes. Instead, a big, politically connected bank in Austria failed.\nEvery nation on the gold standard fixed the value of its currency to a specific amount of gold. This simplified international trade, as it made calculating the price of goods in foreign markets easy, and allowed gold to serve as a medium of exchange across borders. The idea was to constrain inflation and prevent sovereigns from interfering with the flow of trade. Because governments were required to pay gold on demand to anyone who wanted to cash in their paper money, sovereigns couldn’t simply print money to escape economic problems. If they wanted to print money, they’d need gold.\nThe trouble was that governments in an economic jam could also run out of gold, leaving investors with piles of worthless paper. If enough anxious investors cashed out, this fear of national bankruptcy could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. When Creditanstalt went under in Vienna, on May 11, 1931, a wave of fear swept through the European financial world as investors weighed the prospect of the Austrian government literally emptying its coffers to save its banking system. Investors around the world not only cashed out of their holdings in Austrian banks, but began dumping the Austrian currency itself.\nAs soon as it became clear that the schilling was in trouble, the panic spread to Germany. If Austria defaulted on obligations to German creditors, the mark could be in trouble. As soon as the mark came under pressure, the run spread to Britain. Chained together by the gold standard, all the European economies were tumbling.\nTo fight the panic, the British government did everything that the time’s conventional Wall Street wisdom said it should. It raised interest rates—people were less likely to part with their pounds when they paid a high return—and obtained a huge loan from the New York bank J.P. Morgan, which would allow it to keep paying investors when they cashed out. Under the loan’s terms, Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald—a socialist—agreed to cut public spending by slashing unemployment benefits and public employees’ salaries.\nKeynes had sustained his career as an intellectual by attacking Wall Street views of economic soundness. He watched his government’s policy making in horror, telling the House of Commons that the Morgan budget was “one of the most wrong and foolish things which Parliament has deliberately perpetrated in my lifetime.” Every part of the response would damage the British economy. Britain was already in a depression—high interest rates would increase costs for businesses, forcing layoffs and bankruptcies. Slashing public pay and unemployment relief would further weaken the domestic market for British goods. Keynes was quickly proved right: Within months, British unemployment had reached its worst level on record; roughly one out of every six workers was out of a job.\nNone of MacDonald’s austerity did any good. Britain burned through the Morgan loan in a few weeks, and the run on the pound didn’t relent until Britain abandoned the gold standard altogether in September.\nA dozen years later, history not only defined the economic agenda at Bretton Woods—the world needed a new monetary system—but shaped the more fundamental geopolitical dynamic of the conference. The gold standard was a British system. The British Empire had essentially imposed it on the rest of the world at the height of its power, refusing to trade with countries that didn’t make their currencies convertible into gold. Now the Empire had abandoned its own monetary regime. To top figures in the Roosevelt administration, this financial ineptitude was a symptom of broader dysfunction in British leadership. The British might have the world’s best economist, but to much of the American elite, they represented everything backward and broken among the fading European imperial powers.\nThe Soviet Union, on the other hand, was a young and interesting new superpower. Like America, the Soviets had thrown off their emperor, and with him centuries of baggage from medieval European rivalries. So when Franklin D. Roosevelt’s lieutenants sent out invitations to Allied governments for an international economic conference in May 1944, they had two key diplomatic goals in mind: to cement a Great Power partnership with the Soviet Union, and to dismantle the British Empire. The future would belong to the young.\nThis was not the message that Roosevelt conveyed to the British, of course. In 1941, he personally told Keynes that he intended for Britain and America “to act as the police-men of Europe” after the war, with the rest of the continent “entirely deprived” of armaments. Keynes believed him, and, at the time, Roosevelt might have even believed himself—his friendship with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was already deep. But by 1944, Britain had been running on American money for three years. The idea that the two nations could be equal partners leading the postwar world seemed ludicrous to the U.S. Treasury officials Harry Dexter White and Henry Morgenthau, who had explored Britain’s broken finances in detail with Keynes.\nFor any of this Great Power politicking to work, however, Morgenthau, White, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull had to deliver a treaty. And the world had a reason for not replacing the gold standard in the dozen years since Britain’s break with it: Reimagining the financial architecture of the entire planet was hard.\nAs Keynes saw it, the gold standard created two basic problems: It generated domestic misery and channeled those frustrations into international resentment. When financial trouble arose, nations had to sacrifice their workers with high interest rates and austerity budgets in order to rescue government finances. This made people angry—they were thrown out of work through no fault of their own. The chaotic flow of speculative money across borders and the demands of foreign creditors gave that anger a target. Frustration with real outrages—J.P. Morgan really had dictated the British government’s budget in 1931—could easily be amplified into wild, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about foreign deceit, international banking plots, and various imaginary betrayals.\nKeynes believed that austerity had to be flushed from the system, and some sense of international balance established that would prevent countries from seeing their trading partners and allies as rivals or predators.\nKeynes called for a complete break with gold. A new international bank would issue a fiat currency that would serve as the new international payment of choice, backed by nothing but the common commitment of the world’s governments. When countries found themselves in financial distress, this new international bank would provide them with rescue funding the same way central banks salvaged ordinary commercial banks in a crisis. If a run on the dollar occurred, Keynes’s new international bank would provide the Fed with whatever funds it needed to quell it. Because this new currency wasn’t tied to a scarce resource, such as gold, there would be no limit on what it could pay. And because nobody would have to worry about running out of gold, nobody would have to impose austerity to preserve it.\nAlongside this new rescue-funding program would be a system of regulated, balanced trade between nations. Countries that built up large trade surpluses would be required to make payments to countries that built up large trade deficits. If the trade relationship seemed chronically out of whack, currencies could be revalued to bring them into balance. Trade would be a two-way street: Nobody could claim that foreigners were stealing their jobs or manipulating their banking systems.\nThe Keynesian proposal was wonderfully elegant and, as such things go, relatively simple. But it terrified people who had spent their lives in a world that ran on gold, and who worried that going full fiat would court inflation and instability.\nAnd these fears paled in comparison with the problem of power. The United States was financing the war, producing double the number of tanks and munitions that Britain was, and deploying more than twice as many troops to the conflict. The number of Soviet soldiers killed in the war would eclipse the size of the entire British army at its peak. Neither of these superpowers was about to sacrifice its geopolitical dominance to become equal economic partners in some untested international scheme devised by a British intellectual. But the Keynes plan seemed to solve a lot of problems. So White tried to conform those financial ideas to a vision of U.S. hegemony, and talk the Soviets into signing on.\nWhite was a unique figure to be wooing the U.S.S.R., and indeed remains one of the most mysterious figures in the history of economic thought. He came to Washington in the early years of the New Deal with two friends from Harvard, George Silverman and Gregory Silvermaster. Jewish outsiders at Harvard, the three had remained close as White rose through the ranks at Treasury, playing volleyball and ping-pong together and even performing evening music sessions together, with Silvermaster on guitar and White on mandolin.\nWhite was taken with Keynes’s ideas during his early career in government. But his friends were members of the Communist Party. And White began passing privileged government information to Silverman—documents that eventually reached the Soviet government in Moscow. White appears to have been quite shaken when he learned that these exchanges had gone all the way to the top, and the Soviets appear to have been unimpressed with the information he provided. Nevertheless, over the course of his career, White secretly continued to intermittently provide federal information to his two Communist friends. Just why he did so remains unclear. Courting the Soviets was the official agenda of the Roosevelt administration—White didn’t need to sneak behind FDR’s back to do it. And none of his public positions at Bretton Woods suggests any change of loyalties; he negotiated hard for American interests.\nUnder White’s vision, the world’s governments would fix their currencies to the dollar, which—alone among the currencies of the world—would in turn be fixed to gold. With international commerce officially measured in American money, the American government would enjoy a unique independence in setting monetary policy and a unique lever of control over the global economy itself. But the United States would not bear responsibility for shoring up countries that found themselves in financial trouble. Instead, a new, independent International Monetary Fund would be established to lend freely to countries in distress.\nKeynes and White exchanged memos across the Atlantic, and by the time everyone arrived at Bretton Woods, White’s system had emerged as the document to be tweaked during negotiations. Keynes adjusted his priorities accordingly. Instead of trying to talk White out of his system, he hoped to coax the United States into putting up as much money as possible for it.\nKeynes believed that the Treaty of Versailles had failed because America had turned its back on Europe’s economic problems. The United States had been the only country to emerge from the Great War economically stronger than it had entered. To Keynes, the notion that the money to rebuild and reconcile Europe would have to come from America seemed obvious. When it didn’t, Europe descended into economic ruin and political violence.\nThe same would be true after World War II. If the dollar was to be the currency of the future, Americans might take responsibility for reconstruction too.\nBut the Americans had their own ideas about what fostered international harmony. Throughout the 1930s, Cordell Hull had been an evangelist for free trade. The son of a preacher, Hull elevated to an almost religious conviction the old Enlightenment faith in the power of commerce to bring peoples together. It was a belief that Keynes had shared in his younger days. Trade meant an exchange of ideas, culture, and values that fostered mutual understanding and generated mutual wealth. For Hull, the key to European peace was the elimination of tariffs and any other artificial government constraint against commerce across borders. And the extraordinary economic growth enabled by free trade would eliminate the need for Americans to spend big to support Europe.\nBy the 1940s, Keynes was no longer convinced that free trade in this simple sense was a solution to the world’s economic ills. At Bretton Woods, he denounced “the lunatic proposals of Mr. Hull” as a preposterously insufficient program for repairing the damage wrought by years of total war.\nHe was right. But he was also talking his own book. With Britain weak and America strong, completely eliminating trade regulations would lead quickly to American productive domination. British manufacturing might never fully recover. By calling for balanced trade, Keynes was trying to enhance Britain’s competitive position.\nKeynes and Hull reached a compromise. There would be no annual payments between deficit and surplus countries, but the IMF would be granted the power to reset exchange rates between countries if imbalances persisted. And individual nations would be granted authority to regulate the withdrawal of international capital—enabling weak countries to combat the bank runs and financial crises that had pervaded the interwar years. Taken together, this was a powerful regulatory arsenal.\nAnd Keynes persuaded the Americans to pay. In his invitations, Hull had described the conference as an arena “for formulating definite proposals for an International Monetary Fund and possibly a Bank for Reconstruction and Development.” Viewing the IMF as the most important item on the agenda, the United States put White in charge of the committee to set up the Fund, leaving Keynes to chair the committee with authority over what would become the World Bank.\nKeynes rammed it through. “He knows this thing inside out so that when anybody says ‘Section 15-C,’ he knows what that is. Nobody else in the room knows,” reported the American delegate Dean Acheson, who would later be secretary of state under Harry Truman. “So before you have an opportunity to turn to Section 15-C and see what he is talking about, he says, ‘I hear no objection to that,’ and it is passed.”\nWhen the dust settled, the United States had agreed to put $2.75 billion into both the World Bank and the IMF—nearly a third of the institutions’ overall funding and more than double the amount given by the next-largest contributor.\n“As an experiment in international co-operation,” Keynes wrote to London, “the conference has been an extraordinary success.”\nCooperation, but not self-sacrifice. The leaders of the most powerful nations at the conference unabashedly pursued national interests throughout, and weaker countries were frequently forced to beg stronger allies for favors. But the collective recognition that the age of laissez-faire in international finance had been a disaster for both commerce and democracy had produced a sense of mutual self-interest in producing a new regulatory system. Governments recognized a responsibility to ensure that trade actually did generate mutual prosperity and that finance did not destroy more than it created. State power had to be deployed, not constrained.\nThe achievements at Bretton Woods should not be overstated. Whatever White’s secret efforts, the Soviet government ultimately refused to ratify the accord, which failed to tame the violence of the Cold War. American excesses in Vietnam would prove integral to the destruction of the Bretton Woods system itself. President Richard Nixon chose to sever the connection between the dollar and gold in 1971 to maintain the extraordinary expense of the war. As a cure-all for authoritarian violence, Bretton Woods failed.\nBut for 25 years, America and its allies enjoyed unprecedented economic growth and financial stability. Democracies working together through international law had opened a new prosperous economic paradigm.\nIt may be too much to ask for a treaty on trade and finance to repair the U.S. relationship with China, provide functional mechanisms to combat climate change, and turn back the rising tide of economic inequality around the world. But we will not solve any of those problems if we do not try. And we cannot solve them on our own."}

{"text": "’re on this page because you’re wondering if you’re owed money. It could be a little – and it could be a lot. And perhaps you know you’re owed money, and you just need help recovering it. We’re here for that.\nWhen an employer fails to pay you all of the pay that you’re due, that means you’ve given your time and sweat to help someone else make money – yet that “someone else” still has some of your money for your sacrifice. It’s not fair, right or legal. Let’s get you up to speed a little bit on your options and the law.\nShould I just file a complaint with\nthe United States Department of Labor?\nNo, not without checking with a Texas board-certified employee rights attorney first. The U.S. DOL can be helpful in some situations, but in many situations that we’ve seen, they don’t do a good job of scrutinizing the way that the employer is calculating the back unpaid overtime wages. In essence, they allow the fox who is guarding the henhouse to report how many chickens are inside. Yeah, right. The employer then has employees sign a DOL-approved release of their overtime claims in exchange for what is often a measly check that leaves a lot of that overtime pay in the employer’s pocket. And if you talk to an attorney later on about the unpaid overtime – they may not be able to help you at that point. That ship may have already sailed after the waiver.\nIn addition, a board-certified employee rights attorneys can and will push to get a court to double your unpaid overtime pay. The DOL doesn’t do that as a matter of course. Who doesn’t want double their pay? Not only does it compensate you for going without your rightful pay all this time, it holds the employer even more accountable and punishes them for failing to follow the law. What you do now could help employees at the company in the future. So talk to a board-certified employee rights attorney first – before going to the U.S. Department of Labor. The overtime law allows the attorney to take your case with no out-of-pocket cost to you. Meaning, you would never have to pay your attorney anything out of your pocket to handle your case. The attorney’s fees come from a portion of the recovery. Plus the law allows you to recover some or all of those attorney costs.\nWhat about filing a\nTexas Workforce Commission Wage Claim?\nIn the vast majority of cases, a TWC Wage Claim is not the best way to handle an overtime claim – or any meaningful amount of money, for that matter. Especially if that overtime claim is for, say, more than $1,000. The problems with a TWC wage claim are even worse than those for an overtime complaint with the DOL. You won’t get doubling of your overtime pay through the TWC. You can only claim unpaid wages up to 180 days prior to the day you file your TWC wage claim (filing a lawsuit in court allows you up to two years, and potentially three years, of back overtime wages). Furthermore, the TWC hearing officers are often poorly equipped, compared to courts, to figure out when the law says you should have received overtime pay. There have been many bad TWC overtime decisions. And, at least under current Texas law, if you let the TWC make a bad decision, and let that decision become final at the TWC, you may have just waived your right to pursue the same claim in a court.\nIf you haven’t filed a TWC Wage Claim for overtime pay yet, give us at the O’Brien Law Firm a chance to give you an honest evaluation of whether that’s your best option. And if you’re in the middle of a TWC Wage Claim for overtime pay, let’s find out whether it might be a better idea for you to jump out of your Wage Claim process and seek the overtime pay (and perhaps doubling of that pay) in court. If your TWC Wage Claim has not become final, you may be able to withdraw that Wage Claim and go the court route. But, to be clear, don’t try anything like that without the advice of a Texas board-certified employee rights attorney.\nThe Fair Labor Standards Act\nThe federal law that gives many workers a right to overtime pay.\nThe Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was an important piece of legislation passed in 1938 to protect the principle of fair pay for workers doing a substantial amount of work during a week. It is the federal law that governs payment of the required minimum wage and payments for overtime. The FLSA requires that most employees be paid time-and-a-half for all hours worked over 40 hours in a “work week,” which is a defined 7-day period.\nHere are some examples of how employers violate this law:\n- Simply not paying you time-and-a-half pay when you go over 40 hours in a workweek.\n- They try to get employees to work off-the-clock to squeeze in extra production “for free.”\n- Require you to clock out for lunch, while knowing or being in a position to know that you are still working while eating at your desk.\n- Require or knowingly allow you to take work home to work on it in the evening and weekends.\n- Not paying you as you drive from work location to work location during the day.\n- Not paying you for mandatory events, like training sessions and meetings.\n- Paying you a set salary for all of your work, including work over 40 hours, when you have to be paid overtime pay due to the nature of your job duties. (In other words, misclassifying you as “exempt” from the overtime laws when you aren’t exempt.)\n- Classifying you as an independent contractor (1099 pay) when you are actually an employee by law. Therefore, when the employer only pays you the straight hourly contract rate over 40 hours, you are being denied your rightful overtime pay for the missing half-time pay. (And just because the employer calls you an “independent contractor” doesn’t mean the law will agree. Talk to an attorney.)\n- Giving you “compensatory time” (a.k.a. comp time, or time off) to make up for overtime hours that you’ve put in. (Only governmental employers can do this. If it’s a private company, they are required to compensate your overtime hours with money, not time off.)\nSome occupations have a higher incidence of overtime violations in Austin and Dallas, such as:\n- Oilfield workers\n- Nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities\n- Restaurants\n- Hotels and motels\n- Call centers and customer service facilities\n- Daycares and pre-schools\n- Convenience stores\n- Office administrative staff\n- Paralegals (usually required to be paid overtime pay in Texas)\n- Nursing homes\n- Security guards\n- Grocery stores\n- Janitorial contracting services\n- Construction workers\n- Doctor’s offices, healthcare providers\n- Retail stores\nMore FAQs\n- What can an employer do to me if I complain about overtime?\nBy law, the employer can’t take any adverse employment action – termination, demotion, false poor performance reviews, blackballing, etc., because you’ve complained about your unpaid overtime.\n- Do I have to wait until I quit this job before I claim overtime?\nThe law protects you from retaliation for making or filing complaints about your unpaid overtime pay. However, suing your employer while you’re still employed can be an awkward situation, to say the least. Furthermore, even if you can sue the employer for a retaliatory firing if it happens, you’re probably better off having that job than being in a lawsuit over it. So if you’re still at the job where you have unpaid overtime, talk to a board-certified employee rights attorney about it to determine the best approach.\nAs you can see from O’Brien Law Firm’s mission, we are here to improve your life. Therefore, we are strategic and thoughtful on how we approach this situation. Part of the approach may depend on how long you’ve been going without being properly paid. If it’s close to or more than two years, you may need to file your claim anyway or otherwise potentially begin losing that unpaid overtime pay forever. It depends – let’s talk. Just know you’re in good hands when you trust us with your case.\n- How far into the past can my claim for unpaid overtime go?\nThe law says that you can always claim up to two years of past unpaid overtime pay. If the employer’s failure to pay overtime under the law is determined to be “willful” – generally meaning that the employer knew or should have known they were violating the overtime laws – then you can claim an additional 3rd year of overtime pay. Keep in mind, though, that the clock only stops running when you actually filed your claim. So if you have unpaid overtime pay going back two and perhaps three years, every week that you fail to take action may be a week of unpaid overtime pay that is lost forever.\n- Sometimes I’d work less than 40 hours but some of that would still be off-the-clock work. Can I claim that as well?\nYes. It’s not unpaid overtime pay, but as part of an overtime lawsuit, the O’Brien Law Firm also often makes additional claims for unpaid wages that aren’t otherwise covered under the overtime laws. However, in Texas, those unpaid wages that aren’t unpaid overtime aren’t subject to potential doubling by the court. But it’s still your money that belongs in your pocket – not your employer’s pocket.\n- I sometimes work more than 8 hours in a day. Is that overtime?\nNot in Texas. In Texas, only hours over 40 in a work week can create overtime pay obligations. However, some other states do have different rules on 8-hour workdays.\n- I was paid a salary. Can I still be entitled to overtime pay?\nAbsolutely. For some types of occupations and work, an employer cannot pay you salary to compensate you with one rate for all hours of work. It depends very much on specifically what you do in your job. Sometimes even someone in a “supervisor” position may be entitled to overtime if the “supervising” is a relatively unimportant function of their job, and their primary job duties are ones that would entitled them to overtime. The more routine and manual your job duties, and the less independent discretion and decision-making responsibility you have in your job, the more likely that your job is non-exempt – meaning, not exempt from the requirement that the employer pay you overtime for hours over 40. Talk a lawyer.\n- How much does a lawyer cost? I don’t have a lot of money.\nYou don’t need money to hire our firm to handle overtime claims. We take these cases on a contingency basis, meaning, we only recover a % of your recovery. Furthermore, the overtime law requires the employer to reimburse you for the amount of time your attorney has put into the case to recover your overtime, if you’re successful in your claim. Our firm typically recovers between 120%-200% of your unpaid overtime that goes straight into your pocket.\n- Will I have to go to court?\nIt’s always possible, but it’s relatively infrequent in the cases this firm has handled. The fact is, in most cases, the employer recognizes their liability and the potential cost of paying both their own attorney as well as yours to fight what may be a losing battle. So they settle. That’s not all of the time, and employers have a right to contest the claim, but that’s certainly our experience in a majority of cases that we’ve handled.\n- What if I wasn’t keeping track of my time? Can I still have a claim?\nAbsolutely. If you are a “non-exempt” employee, federal law makes it your employer’s responsibility to track all time that you worked. If the employer did not do so – which is common, especially when the employee is misclassified as an exempt, salaried employee – then courts will normally accept your good faith estimate of time that you worked. We have handled many cases solely on the basis of our clients’ estimates of their overtime work.\nContact our employment lawyers\nIf you believe that you may have been wrongly denied overtime pay, call the O’Brien Law Firm NOW at (512) 410-1960 for a free confidential case review or fill out the form below so that we can get to know you and your situation.

I am not a one-hundred-percent believer nor do I practice any religion, and after this, even less of a believer. I don’t understand it. I lash out powerlessly at who knows what. God, according to many, has taken my son to be with Him. I think He had no right to take him yet! I believe that we deserved, at least, to be able to make a deal with God to take my life instead.... Where is God’s infinite “goodness”?\nDear Friend,\nWe cannot even imagine the immensity of your loss. No one can know how much you are suffering, except for those who have lost a child. Your grief, despair, and desperation are completely understandable. We are so very sorry!\nYou are angry with God, but are not sure what you believe about Him. Yet you think He should have been willing to make a deal with you, taking your life instead of your son’s life.\nYou believe that God singled out your son and decided that he should die, and many have told you that God has taken your son to be with Him in heaven. Those well-meaning people intended to comfort you with their comments, but instead, you just became angrier with a God who would take from you and keep for Himself.\nIf God killed your son, then God must have caused the accident. If God caused the accident, then it was God who forced all the people involved to be at that specific place at that time. If God forced all the people involved to be there, then every one of them was like a robot, only able to do what God commanded and having no ability to choose for themselves. And if they were all robots, then all of us are robots likewise, and none of us have any choice about what we will do or where we will go.\nFurthermore, if all of us are robots with no choices, then criminals are robots too. And if that is true, then God causes all crime. But why would God love us so much that He would sacrifice His only Son to die on the cross to save some of us, and at the same time cause others of us to commit horrible crimes and die with that sin? That sounds like an evil monster and like the plot of a bad movie, which are not like our Heavenly Father.\nGod made each of us to be free moral agents, not robots. We get to make our own decisions and choices, even when the consequences of our choices are disastrous. Your son chose to be where he was accidentally killed. God didn’t cause him to be there or cause him to die.\nHowever, God is not offended by your doubts or anger. He loves you and understands your grieving heart. But He doesn’t force you to believe in Him or to agree with Him. You get to choose for yourself.\nWe wish you peace,."}

Glenn Crothers July 4, 1802 found the residents of northern Virginia and Alexandria in a celebratory mood. In an oration given on that day, A.W. Grayson, scion of the Grayson family of Prince William County and a member of the Alexandria Debating Society, articulated in effusive rhetoric the confidence and enthusiasm of the region's inhabitants. Grayson began by reviewing the cause of the American Revolution, the battles of the war, and the political consequences of independence-the creation of a \"republican government\" situated happily between the extremes of \"overbearing aristocracy\" and \"licentious jacobinism.\" More revealing, however, was his focus on the social and economic consequences of the Revolution. Grayson argued that independence had enabled the United States to establish a \"commercial intimacy \" with \"the different nations of Europe.\" The result was \"a rapid progress\" of American trade; American merchants now \"unfurled . . . their canvas\" sails on \"the shores of distant nations.\" Manufacturing, too, had \"been rapidly increasing\" since the Revolution. And agriculture no longer \"languished\" as it had before independence, but now the \"honest husbandman\" enjoyed a well-deserved \"domestic felicity.\" Underlying all these successes was the 62 Canadian Review ofAmerican Studies Revue canadienne d'etudes americaines \"enterprizing [sic] spirit of our citizens.\" \"The people of this country,\" Grayson noted, \"are daily opening\" the nation's \"latent sources of wealth.\" As a result , Americans could \"look forward to the day when America will hold a primary not secondary rank among the nations of the earth.\" In short, the Revolution had spurred economic development in America (and Virginia), because it enabled all (white male) citizens to pursue their economic selfinterest . Here was the message of economic liberalism expressed in its most fundamental terms, and in a way which all politically active residents of the region could understand.1 Grayson's oration was commonplace in the early republic. His address, secular in subject matter and theatrical in delivery, was part of a larger pattern of cultural change in the years after the Revolution. The revolutionary struggle turned political questions into matters of public concern, moving political debate from the legislature into the street. After the war the anniversaries of important revolutionary events-and in particularJuly the 4thcame to be celebrated with memorial speeches. These orations and the patriotic holidays they commemorated were important opportunities to forge a new sense of nationhood and shared community. In short, throughout the United States secular oratory which aimed to be both informative and entertaining became a routine part of public life, particularly at political celebrations .2 However, in describing the cultural life of the early republic, histonans have tended to overlook the southern states, arguing that the patriarchal and hierarchical social structure of the slave South inhibited the development of a vibrant public culture like that which appeared in the North. Grayson's speech reveals that northern Virginia, at least, followed the national cultural pattern.3 Equally striking is what Grayson excluded from his oration. He made no reference to the peculiar nature of northern Virginia or the South, apparently attaching little importance to the differences between the sections. Most notably, he made no mention of slavery. Northern Virginia 's slave population-which represented approximately 20 percent of the total population in 1800-set it apart from the northern states-even the grain-growing middle states to which contemporaries most often likened the region. Though a number of residents-including most famously George Washington-voiced objections to the institution, and a notable few such as Robert Carter even freed their slaves, census data reveal that slavery re- A. Glenn Crothers I 63 mained an integral part of northern Virginia's economy even after the region 's farmers switched to wheat in the 1780s.4 In short, Grayson-and many more speakers and writers like him-helped to forge and disseminate to the public a hybrid form of economic liberalism which celebrated economic development within the social structure of the slave South. To transmit this distinctive form of economic liberalism to ordinary farmers, the cultural..."}

{"text": "Remember the dreaded avocado bathroom suite? A rather unattractive colour, close to that of algae bloom on a pond that runs low, then stagnant during a hot summer. It was the colour of bathroom to have in the Seventies, along with salmon pink, maybe sky blue, sometimes oatmeal, or the under-utilised mauve. Used to be you might get a bargain of a house all because it had an avocado bathroom suite. Then, in the new millennium, if not before, perfectly functional bathrooms were ripped asunder to make way for sleek shades of white and chrome with French metro-style oblong, bevelled tiles. Ah, the fickle, fluctuations of fashion! I’m not going down that road right now. I am, however, going to take you down a specific road where many of those perfectly good toilets in dubious pastel shades have ended up. I’ve found them in a street in Dunbar, East Lothian, where some brave, artistic soul has recognised their potential as plant pots and up-cycled them to stand like soldiers on parade, all planted up with rosemary, sage, bay and mint. “Fiona, away and get me a bouquet garni from the toilets,” I can hear the mother of the house cry. And why not? If you can’t make do and mend, then at least waste not want not! The sight of them reminded me of when Belfast sinks were deemed old fashioned, an affront to modernity and many were ripped out to lie disconsolately in gardens where some were eventually planted up with spring bulbs or autumn heathers. And then – as life runs in cycles – they became sought after, reclaimed from back garden wildernesses and plumbed in once more. Everything comes around again, eventually. The French have a lovely saying for it, “Plus ça change plus c’est la même chose,” – the more things change, the more things stay the same.\nDriving back from Dunbar on the same day as we’d spotted the garden loos, a dreadful noise started up in my car: ker-thwap, ker-thwap, ker-thwap, ker-thwap…… I asked A. if she thought it could be a flat tyre. No way, she told me, we would feel it. S., from the back seat, said he said he thought it was coming from the boot. We pulled in at the nearest layby and A. got out into the dreich to survey the car. It was the aerial – the little antennae had broken and with the wind it was bashing about like a conductor leading an orchestra in some energetic, rhythmic piece of Mozart. She removed it, and on we went. As I drove A. examined the sorry baton and I asked her if it might be mendable; I suggested duct tape. She laughed, showing me the shredded plastic around the metal and we agreed it was a lost cause. I remember, years ago, lots of cars with lost or broken aerials had pieces of twisted coat hanger in their place, we had one in an old Ford Cortina in about 1978. I got home and took a look at the fitting – the aerial screwed into place, so there was nowhere to insert a coat hanger. It seems that items nowadays, especially cars and electronics, have built in obsolescence, or maybe we are less inclined and less able to footer about, finding solutions for making do and mending.\nI have been noticing when others mend rather than discard. Like F.’s denim shirt with that exaggerated zigzag stitching that’s used to mend tears. It had been years since I’d seen it. Back in our university days we would get it done to our favourite jeans, but now there is so much of a throwaway culture that we tend not to. A. dug out her cashmere twinset over Christmas. It’s an elegant one – a little halter-neck with a tiny shrug that exposes a shimmer of flesh at the shoulders. “Oh, that looks fabulous and never ages!” I told her. “Thanks,” she said, “I don’t know about the ‘never ageing’ bit, it’s full of moth holes, but I’ve darned them all – black is very forgiving!”\nAnd so, inspired by my friends’ mending and by the Dunbar toilets, I’m going to try a little more footering about to see how much making do and mending I can manage. As for those of you who still have the avocado bathroom suite, good on you! I was in H&M interiors at the weekend and – you’ve guessed it – it’s come around again, the colour of the season is avocado!\nfooter about – to work, in an absent minded manner, at inconsequential tasks\nOne thought on “Make Do And Mend”\nHaven’t heard that word footering in a while. It’s a good one."}

The most uncompromising approach, of course, is to record uncompressed images, as was common during the earliest stages of digital cinematography.

This might seem impossible, but techniques known as entropy coding can achieve it. Usually, they reduce the data 2:1 or less.

{"text": "Post by CM\nI never thought I’d be composing a post entitled Trend Watch: Ski Pants. Never. In a million years. But I came upon an article on Who What Wear about ‘treggings’, which featured a pair of Zara stirrup pants (read it here! The offending pair are in outfit number 5) and then started seeing the blasted things everywhere I turned, both online and IRL. Guys, they’re coming for us.\nFirst off we must all agree that ski pants (or stirrup pants, as they’re referred as when we’re not on the slopes) are universally unflattering. They have that dragging affect that could flatten even Kim Kardashian’s derriere, and the stirrups themselves tend to stretch and get misshapen, leading to dangly pieces of material encircling your shoe. Not the greatest look. But perhaps the catwalk offerings will convince us that minds haven’t completely been lost and the new version is the athleisure look we’ve all been waiting for.\nBalenciaga\nMarni\nVersace\nI don’t think I’m convinced. On swishy haired models chanelling the excesses of party central – 1980s ski slopes like Vail and Aspen, where the snow wasn’t the only white stuff in high supply – the look has a luxurious, elitist feel; the one that’s being aimed for I suspect. On short little Irish mice though? That remains to be seen.\nIt might be easier to try the ski trend on top. Pairing a polo neck under a fair isle sweater would do the trick, and I’m pretty sure the high street will be offering various versions on it in the next few weeks, like this Zara top, that’s good value at €18.\nBack in the day, I always had an irrational fear that the ski-pants stirrup would catch on something and the whole pants would come tumbling down around my ankles. Bad enough for a child forced into them by their mother, but for a grown woman trying to be fashionable? The horror! Will you be risking it, or favouring a less nostalgic winter look? Let the debate begin!\n3 Comments\nNot going to lie, I did a double take when I saw ski pants on Vogue’s site!! :O What is the world coming to? 😛\nI know! x CM"}
{"text": "If you want to turn professional at comics, you’re definitely going to need some skills. In addition to business and marketing tactics (which I hope to discuss in the coming weeks), you definitely must have some kind of skills in drawing, writing, and storytelling. After all, a person can’t just get some tools and call himself a carpenter out of the blue. He has to have training and practical hands-on experience.\nSo where can you get this training for comics? Well, there are art schools out there. Yes, there are institutions of learning that can teach you how to draw, how to paint, how to render on the computer, and so on. But can they help you land a job as a professional? Is art school necessary for comics?\nUnfortunately, that is not a question I can give you an exact answer to. I cannot say “yes, a degree in art is a must” or “no, art school is a waste of time and money”. Sadly, there is no clear answer to this question. The best I can tell you when wondering “is art school necessary for comics” is that it all depends.\nThere are different sorts of art schools out there. Some of them are universities/colleges that will offer degrees in a specific field such as fine art, illustration, graphic design, computer art, animation, etc. Some are traditional types, sometimes called “ateliers”, such as the Art Students League of New York. These places are more for fine artists. If you want to render your comics realistically or photorealistically (like Alex Ross), then this type of institution might be the place for you.\nThe former type (the college/university) will usually offer among three types of degrees: a two-year degree (associate’s), four-year (bachelor’s), and six-year (master’s). But there’s a challenge here. Enrolling in a college to earn a degree of any sort requires a significant investment of time and money. This is not something to be done on the spur of the moment. You have to give such a move careful thought plus you must take account of finances. In addition to tuition costs, there’s art supplies, additional fees, and housing/transportation concerns. Furthermore, competition to enroll can be fierce. Many art schools don’t take just anyone. You will often have to submit a portfolio of some of your work and will have to be interviewed more often than not.\nIn asking whether is art school necessary for comics, you have to look ahead to beyond the halls of learning. Is there any guarantee that having that four-year degree or that certificate will land you a job working for DC/Marvel or making a hefty profit on your own graphic novel? No.\nThere are many out there who earned degrees from these places, yet never produced anything and went on to work in low-paying jobs in other fields. Sadly, these individuals are not completely to blame. From what I’ve seen and from what I’ve learned from many professionals in the field, there’s little or no support beyond art school. Many graduates are given bare-bones classes in marketing and promotion, perhaps a portfolio class, and told that as long as they have a website and business cards, that the jobs will come to them. This not only holds true for comics, but its sister fields like illustration and animation.\nWhat I’m trying to say is that art school isn’t necessary for making a living at comics. If you have the time and money or you absolutely believe that it can help you, then go for it by all means. But if you don’t have a four-year degree, don’t sweat it. Some out there in the field such as Gary Larson (The Far Side) never had a formal art school education. If you want to learn skills in drawing and/or writing, there are plenty of options. Look at colleges that offer continuing education courses or adult education centers. These places offer classes that can be affordable and are often held on weekends and evenings.\nIn fact, I myself trained at night school. Since 2009, I’ve been attending nighttime and weekend classes over at the School of Visual Arts to learn about comics as well as life drawing, marketing and color theory.\nSo is art school necessary for comics? Maybe. Decide what you want out of comics and whether you want to make an investment of time and money into an education. It may or may not be worth going to school full-time. But only you can make the decision in the end. Only you, readers, can definitely answer for yourself and yourself alone “is art school necessary for comics”.\nLike yourself, none of us over at Ringtail Cafe actually ever went to school for comic or art design. I used to program medical software, Jackie used to be a meteorologist, Alecia raised show dogs. We all just sort of gathered together to make comics.\nIt can definitely be a help, but I don’t think it’s a -requirement-"}
{"text": "This guidance) there seems to be an ethically gray area where depending on your Weltanschauung you might see something a bit on the lighter side of gray, or on the darker side of gray. Both this week (week 4) and next week (week 5) we are tackling issues of ethics and planning. There is an interesting discussion brewing, so I hope that wakes me up a bit more. It's too early for the onset of senioritis in this course (23 days into the semester, 61 left to go).\nThat said, this afternoon, as I was wrapping up my readings for Week 5 (I prefer to be a week ahead in readings just in case stuff hits the fan), there was sort of an educational smackdown in the articles we had for reading. This piqued my interest a bit and woke me up a bit from my educational slumber. Hopefully more controversy will get me going ;-). Anyway, back to the articles. First we had an article by Boote and Beile† who were writing about the short shrift that the Literature Review gets in Doctoral Dissertations and they suggest a framework for evaluating whether dissertations have a satisfactory breadth and depth. It was an OK article, but the thing that I walked away with was a question (which I jotted down in the margins) - \"how thorough is thorough?\". One person's thorough, or sufficiently in-depth, is another person's lacking - or at least it has the potential to be. Then came Maxwell's commentary‡ on this article which really seemed to lay the smackdown on Boote & Beile.\nThe thing that was really useful to me is this divide that exists (apparently) over the purpose of the literature review. Should it be a broad overview of what's been done in the field up to now? All inclusive so as to orient the reader into the new developments presented by the dissertation? This approach would be the story so far approach used in television shows to recap major elements of past shows that have an impact on the upcoming episode. Or, should Literature reviews be more selective? A lot is read, but only relevant pieces of literature are discussed because they setup the current research and provide a way to frame through which to view and reference what is about to come? Thus, in an example for me, if I am doing research into learner motivation in MOOCs, I won't discuss the entire research on MOOCs, because that also includes managerial aspects of MOOCs that would not be of value for my research, but I could look into research into motivation in non-MOOC learning contexts.\nInteresting stuff! Now I need to start reading for Week 6, and start doing some work on Discourse Analysis, a topic I am co-presenting on on 2/24. Only 2 weeks to go...and I still need to complete assignment 1. It's not a hard assignment. Challenging a bit, yes, but hard no. I just have issues with writing on queue. I tend to be more of a free-ranger writer.\nAs a side note. One thing I read this week (in the Week 5 readings) was about the purpose of the dissertation. I know I've written (or talked) about this before, but I still have a hard time viewing the doctoral dissertation as anything other than a culminating capstone of some sort. Some people see it as bleeding edge research, and it might be that, but I am having a hard time seeing doctoral students being on the bleeding edge of anything. Considering how much work we have to put in to continue to learn about the field after our eventual graduation, bleeding edge doesn't seem attainable. I suppose it all depends on how you define bleeding edge, but the way I see it my dissertation won't rock anyone's world. It will be good and solid, and will provide new findings, but without that earth shattering AHA(!) it doesn't fulfill my criteria for what is bleeding edge.

{"text": "ARRIVAL LOUNGE\nHow I found my groove in Canada through music\nImage by NARI MAVALWALLA\nBy SHIPRA CHAUDHURY\nIt is said about singers that they make music with the instruments they were born with – their voices.\nThis is what I felt when I first heard Molly Das singing at a program, way back in 2002. She had a melodious voice and everyone in the auditorium was amazed at the sweetness of her music.\n“Music to me, gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything,” says Das, a 40-something home-maker, who came to Toronto with her husband in June 2000 to start a new life.\nDas grew up in Guwahati, Assam, India, where her father was posted at North-West Frontier Railways headquarters. “We grew up in a multi-cultural environment where music and studies were a major part of our daily routine. I studied Economics along with Mathematics and Statistics at Guwahati University, but music was a part and parcel of my life. Since I enjoyed singing from a very young age, I started my formal training for classical music under Pandit Shiben Banerjee and later from Madhabi Bhattacharya. Light music was always my favourite and I loved to sing songs of the old Indian legends like Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle. Soon I started performing at musical concerts in various parts of Assam, and for Guwahati Doordarshan.\n“Our life back in India was pretty stable, but we decided to move to Canada for a better future. Our life here initially was full of struggles, and we had our fair share of ups-and-downs, but Himadri, my husband, with his dedication and devotedness, worked very hard to reach this stage, working as a divisional manager in an American company.\n“But even during those days of struggle, we took lots of pleasure in all the small things of life like riding the TTC, visiting the malls or getting to know more people here. We have been blessed to know quite a few elderly people who have made us feel wanted and loved. I also began singing at various community events and social gatherings.”\nThe birth of their two children made Das even more busy. “I loved to stay at home and take care of my children, attending to their studies and various after-school activities. In fact, I loved to cook and couldn’t wait to see the joy in their eyes when I made their favourite dish!”\nAware that it is hard for a single-income family to maintain this blessed lifestyle, she credits her husband for the choice she was able to make. “Besides cooking and cleaning to keep a tidy home, I am a homemaker in the true sense of the word. My children and husband are my first priorities in life, besides singing and music. Occasionally I do go shopping and we love to travel, given a chance!”\nHow does she look at music in a land far away from her roots?\n“Culture and music are an inseparable twosome – like the two sides of a coin. True classical music speaks a lot about our rich Indian culture. And it is this music that stirs the soul, no matter where we are, East or West, that takes us beyond the horizon of mundane living to blend with the unknown, into infinity.\n“Life here can be tough, especially during the harsh, cold winters. And when we have a family to take care of, with no outside help, it becomes next to impossible to sit for riyaz every day. It is at times like these that I find refuge in music, listening to famous vocalists.\n“Everybody around me is very supportive and wanted me to continue singing. I always wanted to become a playback singer, but when I was a young girl, opportunities were few and far between. When we came to Canada, I performed at a talent show called Saat Suron Ka Sangam and won the first prize, and people started inviting me to perform at various functions and ceremonies. I never plan anything as I believe in destiny. I love to live my life in the present moment and enjoy every second of it with my family. But I do strongly believe in giving back to the community by promoting Indian culture and teaching our next generation so they remain connected to their roots, while thriving in Canadian soil.”\n• If you’d like to share the story of your arrival in Canada, please write to desinews@rogers.com or call 416-695-4357."}

{"text": "Book Presentation: A History of Infamy: Crime, Truth and Justice in Mexico\nPablo Piccato presents his new book, A History of Infamy, which explores the broken nexus between crime, justice, and truth in mid-20th century Mexico. Faced with the violence and impunity that defined politics, policing, and the judicial system in post-revolutionary times, Mexicans sought truth and justice outside state institutions. During this period, criminal news and crime fiction flourished. As Piccato demonstrates, ordinary people in Mexico have made crime and punishment central concerns of the public sphere during the last century, and in doing so have shaped crime and violence in our times.\nSpeaker: Pablo Piccato, Columbia University\nPresented by the Hofstra Cultural Center\nDate: Wednesday, November 15, 2017\nTime: 2:55 - 4:20 p.m.\nLocation: Guthart Cultural Center Theater, Axinn Library\nThis event is free, but advance registration is required.

{"text": "Two.\nBluefish\nBluefish has been actively developed since the late 1990s, which makes it an elder statesman compared to a lot of open source projects. But with that history comes stability, and the project has done an excellent job of keeping up to date with the ever-changing standards of web development and the evolving desktop Linux environment. Bluefish is GTK+-based and utilizes standard components from the GNOME platform, such as Pango and Cairo. It is available through most distributions' package managers, but if you have to install it from source, the dependencies are easily satisfied.\nThe new release is the 2.2.x series (as of right now, a bugfix release makes 2.2.1 the latest version). 2.2.0 introduced a number of important changes, starting with support for GTK+ 3, making it fit in better with GNOME 3 and recent Ubuntu Unity desktops. However, GTK+ 2.x is still fully supported as well, so users on any platform will get the same feature updates.\nBluefish is fundamentally designed to edit HTML source code, and attempts to make that experience as nice as possible. You can open your page in any web browser by clicking on the globe button in the toolbar, but you still edit the source in the editor itself. Where Bluefish helps you is in highlighting syntax, providing one-click access to commonly-used shortcuts for the languages of the web, and in maintaining multi-file sites as \"projects\" that you can update collectively.\nVersion 2.2.x features a completely rewritten syntax-scanning engine, which is reported to be drastically faster on very large files. That engine is what allows Bluefish to parse HTML and JavaScript, providing not only the color-coded syntax highlighting, but niceties such as collapsing functional blocks of code (say, long JavaScript scripts or wordy HTML tables) so that they don't take up space on screen.\nThere are other applications capable of doing syntax highlighting, of course, but Bluefish ships with support for all of the languages you need to design modern sites — HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, of course, but SQL, PHP, Ruby, and framework-specific syntax like Wordpress modules, too. The latest release also adds support for lightweight Zen-coding markup, an abbreviation-format to speed up page authoring.\nWhile writing or editing a page, Bluefish attempts to give you one-click access to the operations you need while composing. Historically, this meant things like one-click addition of tags or insertion of code blocks. The new release adds several more shortcuts, such as a language- and context-aware \"select\" commands. If you are debugging a problematic page or script, you can hit Shift-Control-D and Bluefish will select the current function block, whatever that is in the context of your document. If you are editing HTML, it will select the tag or block that encloses the cursor; if you are in JavaScript, it will select the current function. The comment command is similarly intelligent; hitting Shift-Control-C will comment out the selection, automatically choosing the correct comment delimiters for the language and syntax you are using.\nThere are plenty of minor changes in 2.2 as well, including a rewritten search tool that integrates into the editor interface (as opposed to requiring a modal pop-up window), the ability to search files on the hard disk, and an extension to the syntax-highlighter that recognizes the names of functions and variables that you define just like all of the pre-defined keywords. That last feature makes it easy to jump to a function definition or use auto-completion with your own code.\nBlueGriffon\nWhile Bluefish makes the HTML and JavaScript front-and-center, BlueGriffon attempts to provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) Web authoring environment. The page source is always available in a separate tab, of course, but the idea behind the editor is to let you work directly on a rendered version of the page.\nBlueGriffon is built on Mozilla code, and uses the Gecko renderer to produce this WYSIWYG page interface, which could impact your decisions if you need to optimize pages for Safari, IE, or another browser. The code base has had many ups and downs over the years — it started from the old Mozilla Composer editor component in the days before Firefox and Thunderbird were spun out as separate projects. For a while the application was known as Nvu, but developer Daniel Glazman discontinued it, and later started up BlueGriffon as its successor. Glazman announced the project in 2008, but the first releases did not appear until 2010. He maintains it independently, raising funds by selling Web-editing extensions through the BlueGriffon site.\nThe latest release is version 1.3.1, from November 24, 2011. As with most other Mozilla-based applications, BlueGriffon is cross-platform and is available in a wide assortment of languages. There are 32-bit and 64-bit Linux builds, as well as Windows and Mac OS X packages. The download is a binary installer script (although you can install it as non-root user for personal use); BlueGriffon is a self-contained XULRunner package. On the plus side, that means no dependencies to worry over, but on the down side the bundles are quite large.\nBlueGriffon is quite capable as an editing tool; unfortunately the project does not publish release notes, so it can be quite hard to get a feel for what has changed over previous releases (although the blog does post periodic updates about bugfixes and enhancements, they are not bound to the release process). The rendered version of the page does not mark up HTML content — that would risk upsetting the alignment.\nRather, you can see the location of the cursor with sidebar \"rulers\" that mark off the active block element and give its dimensions. You can type text directly into the frame, and add or move media elements (images or videos) with the mouse. A toolbar at the bottom shows you the HTML element wrappers that enclose the current cursor position, complete with element IDs and style tags.\nYou can do basic word-processor-like markup to text in the WYSIWYG editor, including link and list formatting, but to really dig into the structure of your documents, you will need to use the separate CSS, form, MathML, and SVG editors. Here, BlueGriffon uses dialog boxes radio buttons to present the options. Although you can set every possible property an element supports this way, I am not sure if strictly qualifies as WYSIWYG, particularly for properties such as padding, color, shadows, and transformations that could be implemented in on-screen controls.\nThe project has been adding more GUI features since it turned 1.0 (which, believe it or not, was only a few months earlier in 2011), including a color picker harvested from the ColorZilla extension for Firefox, support for right-to-left text, and newer interactive features such HTML5 elements and CSS Media Queries. There are also customizable keyboard shortcuts and auto-completion in the source view editor. The commercial add-ons add even more features; they include a CSS stylesheet editor (as opposed to the one-element-at-a-time CSS property editor available by default), a table editor, and tools for managing JavaScript toolkits and multi-file sites.\nShades of difference\nHaving spent time in both of the new releases, my preference for the moment is Bluefish. Sure, you do not get to manipulate elements directly on the page, but these days most of the hard work of building a site is not layout-centric. Bluefish allows you to manage full sites, not just operate on one file at a time, and it has far better code editing components than BlueGriffon does. In fact, I would venture to say that the auto-completion, code folding, and syntax highlighting features in Bluefish make it easier to edit CSS-heavy pages than the pop-up CSS configuration GUI does in BlueGriffon.\nFirefox extensions like Web Developer close much of the WYSIWYG gap, because you can inspect and even alter the code directly in the browser. Add to that the fact that you do not have to pay for features like table editing and stylesheet support, and Bluefish offers a more compelling experience. Nevertheless, BlueGriffon is developing at an astonishing rate these days; it is worth checking in every few months to see how much progress has been made. If Bluefish's \"open in browser\" does not offer you a fast enough view on your changes, you may find working in BlueGriffon a better fit. And like I frequently remind myself, if you still aren't sure, it's open source: you can afford both."}

{"text": "!\nSunday, January 17, 2010\nAmongst the Winter Blanket!\nSaturday, January 09, 2010\nWhite Coldness\nWhich brings me to the news of: GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. She is now offically selling them, so if you are interested in an order, let us know , we will be happy to arrange the transaction! Some Details: On sale now, will come in march. money due in march when cookies arrive. 3.50 per box. Types: carmel delites, peanut butter patties, shortbread, thin mints, peanut butter sandwich, thanks a lot, lemonades, daisy go rounds.\nMail of the week: A priority package from Uncle Jim's Worm Farm. The kids were waiting for this to arrive and were almost excited as Christmas morning when it did. Noah ordered 2000 worms for his compost bin that he set up in the basement in prepartion for his mega super amazing garden planned for the spring. I thought it was crazy to recieve a box in the mail that had breathing holes punched into it.\nI finally found and replaced my dollar calendar/planner with an excellent one that I purchased for 25% off at a local office supply. I am thrilled! whoah. So fun to write in (I know Im a total dork). Current Searches that I am on for future soon purchases: A cute and original TOTE bag (for myself) and some fun/cool linen napkins for the kitchen (we have decided to stop using paper and try this for a change) . O.k., I have rambled way too much this morning and the troops want scrambled eggs. Have a lovely weekend! p.s. Happy Birthday Elvis.\nSunday, January 03, 2010\nPainting & Play-doh\nI don't really have any photos to share this morning, so here is a picture of a watercolor painting that I did recently. I have not had my paints out in a very long time. I can't even explain how good it felt to paint again. It felt right. It felt magical. I hope to reincorporate this wonderful art form back into my life somehow. I absolutely love painting and have missed it dearly.\nSo, the holidays were grand and the new year was nice. I would say my favorite moments of this Christmas season were watching Ben come out dressed as Joseph for his school program and wittnessing Isabelle open her American Girl Doll that she received from Santa. I had tears in my eyes, seeing her so happy and seeing her biggest wish come true.\nSo this winter break from school and other activities has been very nice. Not having to run out of the house all bundled and ready in the freezing morning has been a blessing. But, like all things, it has run it's course and it is now offically time to rejoin society and return to the hustle and bustle of life and it's requirements. Tomorrow we are at the starting line once again and it honestly feels good. If only I can get caught up with the laundry.\nCalendar for the new year. Well here is my story. I am quite a calendar freak. I need to have the perfect desk/planner calendar to write in for the entire year. Appointments, notes, etc. I need to organize my brain properly. Well, I have been on the search for a calendar. I dragged the kids to staples before the new year and found a super calendar, but..then something in me refused to pay $21.00 for it. It's just not in me. Not in my soul right now and not in my wallet. So, then I drove a few blocks over to the dollar general and bought myself a calendar for $1.00! Sure, it's not the greatest. But it will do for right now. If I find a happy medium somewhere along the way, something that is a little more fun and joyous to write in, I may get it, but for now, it feels good to spend only a dollar to help get my brain sorted.\nSo, the new year... I have a lot to think about, plan, organize....bring to fruitation. We are already talking spring around this house. I miss flowers and the birds. Noah is so excited about planning his vegetable garden and becoming a beekeeper and beer maker. <--yes these are his current dreams. I am of course, planning this new baby coming into our lives. Thinking I am ready for this kid to be produced because I don't do pregnancy well and I am currently remembering that as things are starting to get more difficult. I am praying for peace and patience. I am trying to enjoy the kicks and movement that remind me of what the whole thing is about. I still can not wrap my brain around the fact that there will be 3 children in this house. Honestly, I am barely ready, but I know somehow it will all work out and we won't remember how we functioned otherwise. Wow. Also in the spring we will be hopefully finishing up the improvements around here including: landscaping and new siding. Also the baby room has to be completely refinished. Right now it is an unfinished office.\nSo I guess I should get on with my day. lots to do. (lots to clean actually including play-doh all over the kitchen floor). little notes of interests to conclude our discussion: yesterday I stayed in my pajamas and read an entire book (have a little faith) by Mitch Albom the author of Tuesdays with Morrie. Liked it, didn't love it. Last night, Noah made Chili for dinner, it was so spicy that I could not even eat it. ugh. Luckily he made homemade baked mac and cheese for the kids as well (and now you see why I have so many dishes to do). Last night we watched the movie: Facing your Giants. although somewhat cheesy acting, I enjoyed the story and actually cried at the end. I have a dr. appt. tomorrow morning, so praying for a good visit. There is defintley a busy and freezing week ahead, but I am so looking forward to seeing my friends again & getting out of this house for a bit. Biggest goal of this week: getting the Christmas decorations put away and finding proper homes for the gifts. Happy Sunday.\n"}
{"text": "Is Paris Hilton's Brown Hair Real? She's Rocking Darker Locks For Fall\nWhile there is a list of iconic blonde, perhaps none stand out as much to millennials as Paris Hilton. While the New York socialite turned DJ may not be quite as iconic as say Marilyn Monroe, she's still just as defied by her light locks. However, has Paris Hilton gone brunette? The early 2000s icon may not have totally lost her blonde, but the hair change definitely marks a departure from her memorable platinum blonde of your childhood.\nOn Wednesday night, Hilton walked the red carpet for the Make A Wish Foundation and debuted markedly darker locks. The look definitely leans more toward the bronde — brown and blonde — trend, the ends of Hilton's hair are totally brunette, and it looks gorgeous. Considering that Hilton's hair is one of her most defining features, the new deep blonde and brown combination is eye catching for her fans.\nThis isn't the first time that Hilton has been brunette, though. Back in June, the star debuted much darker locks than her current style, but according to Teen Vogue, the hair was a wig for a movie she and her boyfriend were filming. Considering that a truly blonde Paris Hilton may cement the lose of millennial's childhood, infinite praise emojis to the universe for Hilton not losing her blonde completely.\nWhile blonde Hilton will forever be iconic, there's little doubt that the new 'do looks incredible on her.\nOf course, her original turn as brunette was undeniably memorable, and the internet was shook over it.\nMany would place Kim Kardashian as the iconic brunette from Hilton's friend group. Now, however, it appears as if the pair are switching roles. With Kardashain West now killing it with platinum hair and Hilton going darker with her locks, the world may actually be ending and millennials everywhere will be thrown into a tailspin. Whether or not Hilton is exploring whether or not brunettes have more fun instead of blondes, whatever she finds out, there's little doubt that her new bronde hair is on trend and stunning.\nOf course, Hilton isn't the only celebrity with an iconic 2000s hairstyles. These looks of yesteryear will never lose their nostalgic quality even if no one will ever rock again — hopefully.\nLindsay Lohan's Red\nHilton's former friend Lindsay Lohan's red hair was iconic, and it's still one of the things that she's most well known for. While she's been blonde, brunette, and a deeper shade of red, her auburn locks will always be how millennials remember her.\nChristina Aguilera's X-Tina Highlights\nX-Tina's hair is so engrained in millennials' mind that even Kylie Jenner dressed up as the star for Halloween last year. The costume was so incredible, that Aguilera herself ask Jenner to attend her birthday costume while wearing it. Now, that's iconic hair.\nKelly Clarkson's Chunky Highlights\nClarkson balanced on the line between blonde and brunette with her ultra chunky blonde highlights. Fresh off her American Idol win, she was rocking one of the most popular styles of the time.\nKelly Rowland's Red\nRowland's vibrant, red highlights in her hair wer insanely popular in the early 2000s, and honestly, no one could rock them like her.\nClearly, while Paris Hilton may have been the most well-known blonde of the early 2000s, she certainly wasn't alone in the iconic hair department. While it wasn't all bad, it certainly wasn't the best time for everyone's tresses. Now, however, Hilton's signature platinum has been replaced by a more toned down bronde, and while it's a bit sad to say goodbye to the golden girl of yesterday, hair is just hair, right? Who knows, perhaps tomorrow fans will see her rocking blonde once more."}

{"text": "Having suffered defeats to Oldham and Bradford in the run up to the clash with Division Three leaders Aston Villa on 25th March 1972, Brighton boss Pat Saward made some brave changes. Out went Stewart Henderson and captain John Napier, and in came Bert Murray and Ian Goodwin. Brian Bromley was installed as the new skipper.\nThe changes paid dividends, and the promotion push was back up and running thanks to a famous 2-1 victory. Here is how the Sunday Mirror reported it:\nBrighton manager Pat Saward bounced to the edge of the pitch at the end of this ding-dong Third Division promotion battle.\nAnd he ordered his Albion troops: “Get back into the middle and take a bow. You deserve it.”\nSaward’s tribute to his swashbuckling side was deserved. They fully earned a victory which takes them one step closer to Second Division soccer next season and which dented ambitious Aston Villa’s own title chances.\nIt was the long, frizzylocks of Kit Napler which nodded bubbling Brighton to victory six minutes from time,\nVilla ‘keeper Jim Cumbes should have cut out a left-wing centre from Peter O’Sullivan.\nBut he missed it, Napier didn’t, and Villa were beaten for only the second time in their last twenty-one League outings.\nVilla boss Vic Crowe took defeat with a philosophical shrug of his shoulders. “They plaved out of their skins,” he sald.\n“Yet we might well have got a point. Jim Cumbes says the sun got in his eyes when they grabbed that late winner.\n“Still, I think we can go top and I don’t care who goes up with us.\n“Brighton play Bournemouth next-Saturday, and as far as I’m concerned they can both lose.”\nVilla were dodgy at the back. And stodgy up front.\nBrighton looked the likelier Championship bet all through.\nSaid Saward: “Tremendous, tremendous. We tore them apart in the first quarter of an hour of the second-half.”\nHe was not exaggerating.\nIn that spell. Villa’s £275,000 centre half Chris Nicholl twice had to scoop what looked like certain scoring-chances off his own goal-line.\nThe first was from Ken Beamish and that was followed by another from Napier.\nBut Brighton began tearing Villa apart as early as the sixth minute when Willie Irvine shot them into the lead with as good a goal as anyone will see this Season,\nBeamish launched it. John Templeman drove, a magnificent pass with surgical precision diagonally through a floundering Villa defence.\nAnd Irvine finished it off with a searing shot from the edge of the penalty box.\nVilla looked like salvaging a point when skipper Bruce Rioch rifled a fifty-fifth minute equaliser which was every bit as good as Brighton’s opener.\nWillie Anderson. who looked such a weary Willie until that moment, sent Charlie Aitken sprinting along the left.\nThe full back’s cross was played back into the middle by Ray Graydon and Rioch met it on the volley to almost burst the Brighton net.\nRioch’s joy was shortlived. He was booked in the the seventy-seventh minute after a clash with rival skipper Brian Bromley.\nReferee Norman Burdenshaw had no alternative but to take Rioch’s name.\nOthers were more fortunate, avoiding a similar fate in this beefy promotion battle.\nThe Midlands’ moneybags have now taken only one point fronx their last three outings, and the promotion boat is beginning to rock.\nBut Brighton look if their Second Division intentions are honourable, Seldom has any side have run Villa so ragged.\nThe Sports Mirror editorial also spotlighted the crucial match:\nHands all those who deserve an ice lolly! Brighton’s team will probably get the freedom of the town’s ice cream parlours after licking Aston Villa 2-1. This happy threesome are Peter O’sullivan, Willie Irvine and Kit Napier after Irvine had fired Br!ghton’s first goal in the sixth minute at sunny Hove. And by the look of him he wouldn’t swap that moment for all the pebbles on the Brighton beach.\nCut open any Aston Villa player this morning and it wiil probably say “Brighton” all the way through.\nVilla, with tradition a mile high and just as long on optimism about playing in the Second Division next season, found it was too hot by the seaside yesterday.\nBrighton and Hove Albion, to name just one side, have never hit the heights. And apart from one stay in the Second Division, have never reached for them.\nYesterday afternoon Brighton took Villa apart. They won 2-1 with goals by Willie Irvine and Kit Napier, Napier leaving the fans biting their fingers until six minutes from the end when he popped in the winner.\nIt was a shock to Vllta’s sophisticated system.\nIrvine cheekily nosed Brighton in front after six minutes. And it was another fifty minutes before Bruce Rioch put the leaders level.\nVilla still head the table but they are now only one point ahead of second-placed Bournemouth who dropped a point at Rochdale.\nBournemouttL who have played two more games than Villa or third-placed Brighton, had a lucky escape when Gowan missed a penalty for Rochdale,\nOur forecast of next week’s hottest soccer spot must be Bournemouth, Brtght0n are the visitors and they want to cut two more points off that four-point gap between them and Villa."}

{"text": "Overview\nSince version 2021.3.5070, DayPilot Pro makes the pure JavaScript version available as a NPM package (\ndaypilot-pro-javascript). That will make it easier to use DayPilot Pro in NPM project. The Angular, React and Vue versions of the Scheduler component are already available as NPM packages.\nLearn how to create a new NPM project, add the DayPilot Pro package and setup WebPack.\nYou can download the NPM project with all the required boilerplate or you can generate your own project using the online DayPilot UI Builder application.\nLicense\nLicensed for testing and evaluation purposes. Please see the license agreement included in the sample project. You can use the source code of the tutorial if you are a licensed user of DayPilot Pro for JavaScript.\nJavaScript Scheduler UI Builder\nInstead of creating a new JavaScript Scheduler NPM project using the steps described below, you can also generate a new project using DayPilot UI Builder.\nConfigure the basic Scheduler properties (visible date range, timeline resolution, business hours, grid cell dimensions, event handling, …)\nLive preview of the selected Scheduler configuration.\nGenerate and download a complete project (Angular, React and Vue targets are also available).\nHow to Create a New NPM Project?\nCreate a new directory for the project:\nmkdir javascript-scheduler-npm\nEnter the directory:\ncd javascript-scheduler-npm\nInitialize the NPM project using the default values:\nnpm init -y\nInstall WebPack and required plugins as dev dependencies:\nnpm install --save-dev copy-webpack-plugin terser-webpack-plugin webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-server\nInstall DayPilot Pro for JavaScript (you can get the latest version from npm.daypilot.org):\nnpm install\nHow to Adjust the \"package.json\" File?\nNow add\nstart and\nbuild scripts to\npackage.json:\n\"scripts\": { \"start\": \"webpack-dev-server --mode development\", \"build\": \"webpack --mode production\", },\nThis will let you run the development server using\nnpm run start command and compile the project using\nnpm run build command.\nYour\npackage.json should look like this:\n{ \"name\": \"javascript-scheduler-npm\", \"license\": \"SEE LICENSE IN license/LicenseAgreementTrial.pdf\", \"version\": \"1.0.0\", \"private\": true, \"scripts\": { \"start\": \"webpack-dev-server --mode development\", \"build\": \"webpack --mode production\", \"test\": \"echo \\\"Error: no test specified\\\" && exit 1\" }, \"devDependencies\": { \"copy-webpack-plugin\": \"^9.0.1\", \"terser-webpack-plugin\": \"^5.2.0\", \"webpack\": \"^5.51.1\", \"webpack-cli\": \"^4.8.0\", \"webpack-dev-server\": \"^4.1.0\" }, \"dependencies\": { \"daypilot-pro-javascript\": \"\" } }\nHow to Configure WebPack?\nCreate a new webpack.config.js file in the root of the project with the following content:\nconst path = require('path'); const TerserPlugin = require('terser-webpack-plugin'); const CopyPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { entry: { app: [path.join(__dirname, '/src/app.js')], }, output: { filename: '[name].js', path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'), }, module: { }, resolve: { extensions: [\".js\"] }, optimization: { minimizer: [ new TerserPlugin(), ], }, performance: { maxEntrypointSize: 1000000, maxAssetSize: 1000000 }, plugins: [ new CopyPlugin({ patterns: [ { from: \"public\", to: \"./\" }, ], }), ] };\nThis configuration file will configure the following WebPack actions:\nCompile the project using\nsrc/app.jsentry point (we will add this file in the next step).\nCreate a compiled version of the JavaScript code in the\ndistfolder (\napp.js).\nMinimize the JavaScript code using Terser.\nCopy files from the\npublicdirectory to the\ndistfolder (\nindex.html) using\nCopyPlugin.\nHow to Add the Project Source Files?\nTo add the HTML root of the application, create the following\nindex.html file in the\npublic directory (you’ll need to create the directory manually):\n<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset=\"utf-8\"/> <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\"> <title>JavaScript Scheduler NPM + WebPack Project</title> </head> <body> <div id=\"dp\"></div> <script src=\"app.js\"></script> </body> </html>\nNote that the HTML body includes two important HTML tags:\nThe\n<div id=\"dp\"></div>tag is a placeholder for the JavaScript Scheduler component.\nThe\n<script src=\"app.js\"></script>tag will include and execute the application JavaScript (we will create this file in the next step).\nNow create the following\napp.js file in the\nsrc directory (you’ll need to create the directory manually):\nimport {DayPilot} from \"daypilot-pro-javascript\"; const dp = new DayPilot.Scheduler(\"dp\", { timeHeaders: [{\"groupBy\":\"Month\"},{\"groupBy\":\"Day\",\"format\":\"d\"}], scale: \"Day\", days: DayPilot.Date.today().daysInMonth(), startDate: DayPilot.Date.today().firstDayOfMonth(), timeRangeSelectedHandling: \"Enabled\", onTimeRangeSelected: async (args) => { const dp = args.control;

dp.init();\nYou can see that it imports the DayPilot namespace from the daypilot-pro-javascript package:\nimport {DayPilot} from \"daypilot-pro-javascript\";\nThat makes the namespace available and you can start using it.\nHow to Run the NPM Project?\nTo test the application, run the project using the following command in the application root:\nnpm run start\nYour project will be available at.\nHow to Compile the NPM Project for Deployment using WebPack?\nTo compile the project, run the following command in the application root:\nnpm run build\nWebPack will compile the project and copy the required files to the\nbuild directory.

{"text": "Prejudice\nEven under the best circumstances, people still use prejudice to blame, to defend, to praise and to stereotype. Ironically, prejudice is not prejudiced; every soul is capable of it in some shape or form. (Photo by Reagan Hembree)\nNoun\nAn unfair feeling of dislike for a person or group because of race, sex, religion etc.\nA feeling of like or dislike for someone or something especially when it is not reasonable or logical\nUntil the year 313 A.D., Christians were persecuted for being Christian. It was illegal to openly worship until the Roman Emperor Constantine passed the Edict of Milan to allow religion and the construction of churches.\nUntil World War II ended, the Jewish community was one of the largest scapegoats for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, for beginning the Bubonic Plague and for hard economic times in Germany in the 1950s, to name a few.\nUntil the 1960s, African-Americans were segregated. They were forced to use their own bathrooms, to ride on their own buses and to go to their own schools. After centuries of fighting for freedom from the chains of slavery and racial segregation, racial prejudice is still a fight today that has constructed a barrier between many ethnic and social groups.\nPrejudice still exists. It has existed for centuries, transforming year to year, community to community on a gradient of minute, passive-aggressive actions to dramatic and unforgiving tragedies. These prejudices still exist today, but in disguise. In the past few years, we have seen many instances where prejudice has reared its head into history and prompted many questions concerning different controversies: Is every cop abusing his power? Is every African-American deserving of suspicion? Is every Muslim a terrorist? Is every Christian judgmental?\nEven under the best circumstances, people still use prejudice to blame, to defend, to praise and to stereotype. Ironically, prejudice is not prejudiced; every soul is capable of it in some shape or form.\nSo, what do we do?\nIt begins as a child…\nNaomi Nudelman, 22, a Jewish Studies and Business double major at the College, recalled a story from her childhood when a childhood best friend confided in her. When Nudelman asked her friend why she was upset, the girl responded, “I’m just really sad because my mommy told me that you are Jewish, so you are going to Hell.” Although Nudelman was very young when this happened and is now at a point in her life where she can reminisce about that event with a mature understanding, the hurt still remains.\nChildren are impressionable; every parent has that omnipresent fear of saying a cuss word in front of their wide-eyed child lest they repeat it like a broken record. The same applies to ideas. If you live a life expressing prejudice, your children witness it. They soak it in every minute of their childhood and they remember—parents define their children’s perceptions until they get to a point when they can see the line between their parent’s beliefs and their own.\n“The way we are all raised … produces prejudice in us that we are not necessarily aware of, but that does not mean … that it can not be brought to light,” Alyssa Boyle, 21, a biology major at the College, concluded. Many families rightfully have their own dynamics, their own traditions and their own beliefs and as American citizens, they have the right to live by those parameters and express these beliefs to the surrounding world. But what\nAlyssa Boyle. (Photo by Reagan Hembree)\nhappens when two different worlds of opinion collide? Do citizens have the right to judge based on a biased opinion because their traditions and beliefs prevail in their eyes? If so, where is the line drawn between expressing those rights freely and impeding upon others?\nBias Masqueraded:\n“Asians are super smart.”\n“You’re really pretty for a black girl.”\n“All Muslims are terrorists.”\n“That’s so gay.”\n“Christians are so judgmental.”\nThe list goes on and on of all the misconceptions and generalizations that have been showered upon different cultures, ethnicities and societal groups. Many prejudices that have been considered outdated still remain in undercover nuances: jokes, assumptions, “microaggressions.”\nMercedes Cain, 18, an exercise science and athletic training major at the College, explained that she has experienced bias in ways that are more underhanded than blatant. “People are not outright prejudiced like they used to be,” she stated. Yet, special treatment of individuals based on race or other superficialities is still very prevalent. “I feel like people treat me differently when I have braids versus when my hair is straight,” Cain said, to cite one example. This confession opened up to the discussion of microaggressions, which is basically a back-handed compliment like the one above: “You’re really pretty for a black girl.” Why must an African-American woman be considered pretty just for her ethnicity and not by general societal standards?\nAnother student at the College, Morgan Sweeney, 18, pointed out that there are many instances of prejudice hiding behind jokes. For many, they are just that: jokes. But where is the line? Sweeney mentioned that speaking up when someone has made an untasteful or offensive joke is one of the first steps in recognizing instances of prejudice.\n“It’s never going to stop if the other person does not know it is a problem,” Sweeney said. She also mentioned the individual responsibility that comes with speaking out; she believes prejudice is a “reducible” problem as long as people are willing to educate themselves and others.\nThat being said, does this mean everyone should refrain from making a discriminatory joke when they feel the urge to tell one? Can you imagine what Saturday Night Live would be like if the cast never made a slightly insulting or incriminating punchline? Many of the comedians we watch today have found a way to take controversial subjects and breach a laugh from them, often putting themselves at risk for it. It seems to come down to an age-old criticism: if you can not take the heat of certain jokes, then you should refrain from surrounding yourself with those people; but if a tree falls when no one is around, does it still make a sound? Is it acceptable for people to be biased as long as it is in private?\nObviously, going up to someone and making discriminatory remark is rude and unsavory; but in the name of joking and poking fun, should an exception be made? If everyone is ideally striving for a prejudice-free world, eradicating potentially harmful one-liners and censoring our statements and hate-speech seems to be the ultimate step.\nRight?\nToday’s World\nAt the push of a button, anyone can tweet his or her latest and greatest 140-character punchline. In minutes, cars can blast blessed warm-air and de-ice windshields on a freezing morning. Humans no longer live in a world where good things come to those who wait. If a breaking-news event happens all the way across the United States, society is guaranteed minute-by-minute updates within 24 hours.\nMuch of what citizens catch on the news or see on Twitter and Instagram tend to be the most popular ways of keeping up in a fast-paced world. In some ways that can have its own demons. If the media is fixated on an event, that will be the talk of the town for the next few days until something else coincidentally takes place.\nAfter interviewing a handful of students on their opinions of prejudice and its effects in today’s society, many of them brought up the Syrian refugee crisis. The controversy is over whether or not to stop Muslims from immigrating into the States to prevent potential acts of terrorism. With the presidential election coming up later this year, it is no surprise that this debate has risen to a boiling point: America is intent on knowing what their next President has in mind when it comes to the security of this nation and whether or not banning all Muslims is an option.\nMany people argue that America would be committing a huge human rights violation by refusing Muslims or Middle Eastern citizens at the border for fear of terrorism. But then again, if it is in the name of security and protecting American citizens, who is wrong and who is right? It seems safe to say that when it comes down to actually making the decision, no matter how it is resolved, the solution will never satisfy everyone. If we stop the immigration of one specific people, America becomes a nation of bigots. If we do not take any security measurements at all, we put our own security at risk. If we decide to close our borders completely, we will seem paranoid and isolationist.\nSo what do we do?\nPrejudice: A Never-Ending Circle\n“An unknown is always scary,” said John “Trey” Campbell III, a middle grade education major at the College, in response to the question of how to solve, or at the least suppress, prejudice. “Education is key,” he said. Campbell emphasized the importance of teaching children about different cultures and ethnicities. How can students relate to people and cultures they have never even heard of?\nWhen it comes to being nervous about specific groups of people, such as Muslims or individuals from the Middle East, Campbell made the point that being paranoid can lead to preparedness, but more often than not it just leads to a sheltered life of limited points of views and biased misunderstandings. Through education, speaking out and introspective analysis, many people will come to find that being open-minded and respectful toward other people’s lives and cultures is not hard. Being open-minded, contrary to popular belief, does not mean agreeing wholeheartedly with another’s opinion, or even at all. It does not entail becoming soft on your own values or belittling your own traditions—it is simply the understanding that you are not the only living being on the face of this Earth; and as nice as that may seem sometimes, to live life with such a one-track view of things begets emotional injury, bigotry and poor education. All of which only serve to hurt yourself and those around you.\nWe cannot solve prejudice. It will always be here, lurking in the dark corners of our souls, because it is an innate characteristic of human beings. As Campbell eloquently stated, prejudice is a “suppressible” problem; but it is not something that will ever disappear because it is “engrained” in humans. Seemingly, many people today have found that to try and mend the damages humans have created, be it emotionally, environmentally or physically, we need to hate our past, and thus, our actual being. But what kind of improvements would evolve from a relationship of despise and shame of humankind?\nIdeal\nAdjective\nSatisfying one’s conception of what is perfect; most suitable.[attrib.] existing only in the imagination; desirable or perfect but not likely to become a reality.\nAn unbiased, non-stereotypical and discrimination-dissolved world definitely seems to be the answer to many woes, but it is also vastly unrealistic. Humans are selfish, territorial, competitive and capable of evil. That being said, humans are also altruistic, sharing, generous and capable of good. To try and convince people that change needs to happen by being ashamed of the fact that we have bad qualities is like slapping a child on the hand every time he does something wrong without ever praising him for doing something right .\nPerhaps the “ideal” world we need to strive for is a world where people finally understand that we are capable of just as many good acts as we are bad. If people went out and instead of pointing their fingers at what others need to be doing to make the world a better place instead of what they individually could be doing, there would be more progress than the social regress society finds itself facing more frequently these days. Every time you point your finger, you have three pointing right back at you. Each human being, regardless of race, religion or culture, is just as capable of change as the next. The question is whether they choose to make it a bad change or a good change – or to even try at all.\nThat in itself is not an easy choice to make. There will be days that humans make a decision with good intentions, but that road leads straight to hell. There are days when humans will chase the coat-tails of a demon and on the way, find the right path. No matter which way we go, both lead in the same never-ending direction, which in itself is history. Readers may come away from this article asking why so many questions have been posed yet unanswered and deem it a flaw in journalistic execution. But perhaps the questions remain unanswered because it is not up to the writer to decide for the reader their opinion on what it takes to suppress prejudice. Perhaps, the writer simply just wanted to make the reader freeze for a moment in our fast-paced and sometimes ruthless world, to ponder what it would be like if more people did just that.\n*This article first appeared in the February 2016 issue of The Yard.\n'Prejudice: looking into the darker windows of our souls' has no commentsBe the first to comment this post!"}

You can therefore use it for the integral measurement of air velocity at ventilation grilles (air outlets).\nThe anemometer is practical for outdoor operation: as well as air velocity and air temperature, the testo 410-1 also calculates the Beaufort wind force and the wind chill temperature, which is the temperature perceived by a person due to wind-related cooling.\nThe vane anemometer with practical functions\nThe testo 410-1 includes a plug-on protective cap, as well as a wrist strap for secure measurement, and enables you to take advantage of the following functions:\n- Single-point averaging: provides information on the average air velocity, e.g. at air outlets\n- Hold function: is used to record the current values relating to air velocity and air temperature and compare them with each other\n- Max/min values: get the minimum or maximum values since the anemometer was last switched on or reset, at the touch of a button\n- Illuminated display: read off your readings even in dark environments\n- Selectable units: for air velocity and temperature: m/s, km/h, fpm, mph, kts, Beaufort, °C, °F and wind chill"}
