An amazing interaction between a diver and a whale shark has been captured on camera.
These unique shots captured by diver, Tracey Jennings, 47, originally from the UK, give an insight into one of the ocean’s most mysterious species.
Tracey and her husband, Adrian, were visiting a remote part of Indonesia when they were lucky enough to see the whale sharks of West Papua.
The experienced diver snapped Adrian just inches from the whale shark, the photos reflect a serenity not often associated with sharks.
Tracey’s photos show fish seeking refuge from the sea’s violent predators and an unlikely bond between nature and man.

he international traveling exhibition, Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World, toured to five cities in the United States and to Paris between December 2005 and March 2008. Featuring 250 artifacts, many of which were owned by Franklin, and over 40 different interactive activities, the exhibition was viewed by over 700,000 people.
The exhibition is divided into six sections: Character Matters, B. Franklin Printer, Civic Visions, Useful Knowledge, World Stage, and Seeing Franklin.
Character Matters is where the viewer meets the young Franklin in the Boston of his youth. Franklin was profoundly affected by his upbringing in early 18th-century Boston where he was steeped in Puritan traditions and teachings, and where he received his training as a printer. Books he read, an animation about of the story of Franklin and his whistle, and a computer game called Seeking Opportunity are included in this section.
B. Franklin, Printer covers the years when Franklin made his fortune as Philadelphia’s premiere printer. Arriving in Philadelphia in 1723, Franklin steadily expanded his network of personal and professional acquaintances, advanced his publishing business, and became a wealthy man by the time he was 42. An entrepreneur, Franklin also diligently pursued the cause of self-improvement. This section features Franklin’s original printing equipment juxtaposed with several hands on activities and media experiences. In addition, the stories of Franklin’s family— Deborah, William, Sally, and little Franky— unfamiliar to many, are recounted in this section.
Civic Visions tells the story of Franklin’s involvement with the founding of several key philanthropic, educational and civic institutions. From self-improvement, Franklin turned his attention to improving the community around him, asking himself, “What good shall I do this day.” Franklin and a group of eleven working-class friends, known as the Junto were at the core of several Philadelphia institutions that were founded in the mid-18th century on behalf of the citizens of that city. Many of these institutions, such as Pennsylvania Hospital and the University of Pennsylvania continue today, and the account of their founding is told in this section, focusing on the universality of this group of institutions— basic to any new, rapidly growing community.
Having made enough money to retire from active business at the age of 42, Franklin devoted the next part of his life to the search for Useful Knowledge. At the center of his search was the American Philosophical Society, formed with like-minded friends in 1743. In this section visitors see an array of scientific instruments used by Franklin and the most famous scientists— known as philosophers— of his day. Through a group of science-related interactives, visitors also have fun investigating the scientific problems that intrigued Franklin.
World Stage begins with Franklin’s political career in colonial Pennsylvania, proceeds to his years in England, and concludes with his years in France, from where he finally departed in 1785. This section covers the time in Franklin’s life when all of his worlds— literature, science, politics, diplomacy, and his fascination with the material world— came together at a critical time in modern history. Five years before his death, Franklin returned to Philadelphia as an elder statesman and was welcomed as a hero. Seventy-nine years old and suffering from gout, Franklin deftly re-entered the Philadelphia political scene and became President of the Pennsylvania Assembly and served in the Constitutional Convention. And at the very end of his life, Franklin espoused a new cause -- the abolition of slavery. On view in this section are original copies of all five founding documents signed by Franklin.
The final section, Seeing Franklin, includes Franklin's Autobiography, with original versions of all the early translations, the last life portrait of Franklin and his epitaph. Images of Franklin from the 19th and 20th centuries combine with quotations suggesting Franklin's relevance to our time. The final exhibit is a great pair of spectacles— the kind Franklin wore— set atop enormous leather bound books. The lenses show an image of Franklin in his fur cap. Ben’s image is composed of hundreds of small plastic tiles, which move and tilt to reflect an image of the visitor. Above this we ask, "Do you See Yourself in Franklin?" We are all capable of lifelong curiosity, discovery, and doing well by our fellow humans while improving ourselves. This reflective experience is the final and lasting image of the exhibition. | 2019-04-19T05:08:52 | http://www.benfranklin300.org/exhibit.htm |

Here’s an interesting and frightening bit of information: each year in the United States, 190 landscapers die on the job. The rate of fatalities among lawn care workers is more than four times the rate for other workers.
In BC at least it seems that the industry is not quite as deadly. over a recent five-year period, the province saw only three fatalities in landscaping and lawn care. Nonetheless, it remains dangerous work that commonly results in sprains, strains and tears (47 percent of injuries), cuts and lacerations (12 percent), fractures (9 percent) and bruises and contusions (8 percent).
Workers suffer injuries mostly to their back, fingers and legs.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, known as the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game (遊☆戯☆王オフィシャルカードゲーム, Yū-Gi-Ō Ofisharu Kādo Gēmu) in Asia, is a Japanese collectible card game developed and published by Konami. It is based on the fictional game of Duel Monsters created by manga artist Kazuki Takahashi, which is the main plot device during the majority of the manga franchise, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and its various anime adaptations and spinoff series.
The trading card game was launched by Konami in 1999 in Japan and March 2002 in North America. It was named the top selling trading card game in the world by Guinness World Records on July 7, 2009, having sold over 22 billion cards worldwide. As of March 31, 2011, Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. Japan sold 25.2 billion cards globally since 1999.
A player loses if their Life Points reaches zero. If both players reach zero Life Points at the same time, the game ends in a draw.
A player loses if they are required to draw a card, but has no more cards to draw in the Main Deck.
Certain cards have special conditions which trigger an automatic win or loss when its conditions are met (e.g. having all five cards of Exodia the Forbidden One in the hand or all five letters of the Destiny Board on the field).
A player can surrender at any time.
Cards are laid out in da toilet Deck: The player's deck which consists of forty to sixty cards. Normal, Effect, and Ritual Monsters and Spell and Trap cards are stored here.
Extra Deck: The player's deck which may contain up to fifteen cards consisting of Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Link Monster cards. Pendulum Monster cards are placed face up here when they would be sent from the field to the Graveyard.
Graveyard: A zone where cards are sent when they are discarded, such as used spell cards or monsters that are tributed or destroyed in battle.
Main Monster Zone: A field of five spaces where Monster cards are placed when successfully summoned. Prior to the addition of Link Monsters, any kind of monster could be placed there anytime. Since then, monsters special summoned from the Extra Deck can only be summoned to a space on the Main Monster Zone if it is linked to a Link Monster's Link Marker.
Extra Monster Zone: Introduced with Link Monsters, this is a zone where monsters from the Extra Deck can be summoned.
Spell & Trap Zone: Five spaces in which either Spell or Trap cards can be placed.
Field Zone: A zone where Field Spell cards are placed.
Pendulum Zone: The two left and rightmost spaces in the Spell and Trap Card Zone where Pendulum Monsters may be placed instead of Spell or Trap Cards in order to activate Pendulum Effects and perform Pendulum Summons. Originally separate zones, these were integrated into the Spell and Trap Card Zone following the introduction of Link Monsters.
Banished card: Cards that are banished by card effects are placed outside of the game in a pile.
Draw Phase: The turn player draws one card from their Deck.
Standby Phase: No specific action occurs, but it exists for card effects and maintenance costs that activate or resolve during this specific phase.
Main Phase 1: The turn player may Normal Summon or Set a monster, activate cards and effects that they control, change the battle position of a monster (provided it wasn't summoned this turn), and Set Spells or Traps face-down.
Battle Phase: The turn player may choose to attack their opponent using any monsters on their field in Attack Position. If the player chooses not to attack, they can skip straight to the End Phase.
Main Phase 2: The player may do all the same actions that are available during Main Phase 1, though they cannot repeat certain actions already taken in Main Phase 1 (such as Normal Summoning) or change the battle position of a monster that has already been summoned, attacked, or had their battle position changed during the same turn.
End Phase: This phase also exists for card effects and maintenance costs that activate or resolve during this specific phase. Once this phase is resolved, the player ends their turn.
The player who begins the game cannot conduct the Draw and Battle Phases during their first turn.
Tournaments are often hosted either by players or by card shops. In addition, Konami, Upper Deck (now no longer part of Yu-Gi-Oh's Organized Play), and Shonen Jump have all organized numerous tournament systems in their respective areas. These tournaments attract hundreds of players to compete for prizes such as rare promotional cards.
There are two styles of tournament play called "Formats;" each format has its own rules and some restrictions on what cards are allowed to be used during events.
The Advanced Format is used in all sanctioned tournaments (with the exception of certain Pegasus League formats). This format follows all the normal rules of the game, but also places a complete ban on certain cards that are deemed too powerful for tournament play. These cards are on a special list called the Forbidden, or Banned List. There are also certain cards that are Limited or Semi-Limited to only being allowed 1 or 2 of those cards in a deck and side deck combined, respectively. This list is updated every three months (January 1, April 1) and is followed in all tournaments that use this format.
Traditional format is sometimes used in Pegasus League play and is never used in Official Tournaments and reflects the state of the game without banned cards. Cards that are banned in Advanced are limited to one copy per deck in this format.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Cards are available in Starter Decks, Structure Decks, booster packs, collectible tins, and occasionally as promotional cards.
As in all other Trading Card Games, booster packs are the primary avenue of card distribution. In Konami's distribution areas, five or nine random cards are found in each booster pack depending on the set and each set contains around one hundred different cards. However, in Upper Deck's areas, early booster packs contained a random assortment of nine cards (rarity and value varies), with the whole set ranging around one hundred and thirty cards. To catch up with the Japanese meta game, two or more original sets were combined into one. Now, more recent Upper Deck sets have simply duplicated the original set. Some booster sets are reprinted/reissued (e.g. Dark Beginnings Volume 1 and 2). This type of set usually contains a larger number of cards (around 200 to 250), and they contain twelve cards along with one tip card rather than the normal five or nine. Since the release of Tactical Evolution, all booster packs that have a Holographic/Ghost Rare card, will also contain a rare. Current sets have 100 different cards per set. There are also special booster packs that are given to those who attend a tournament. These sets change each time there is a different tournament and have fewer cards than a typical booster pack. There are eight Tournament Packs, eight Champion Packs, and 10 Turbo Packs.
Duelist packs are similar to booster packs, albeit are focused around the types of cards used by characters in the various anime series.
Some cards in the TCG have been released by other means, such as inclusion in video games, movies, and Shonen Jump Magazine issues. These cards often are exclusive and have a special type of rarity or are never-before-seen to the public. Occasionally, cards like Elemental Hero Stratos and Chimeratech Fortress Dragon have been re-released as revisions.
In its original incarnation in Kazuki Takahashi's Yu-Gi-Oh! manga series, Duel Monsters, originally known as Magic & Wizards, had a rather basic structure, not featuring many of the restricting rules introduced later on and often featuring peculiar exceptions to the rulings in the interest of providing a more engrossing story. Beginning with the Battle City arc of the manga and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime series, more structured rules such as tribute requirements were introduced to the story, with the series falling more in line with the rules of the real life card-game by the time its spin-off series began. From the Duel Monsters anime onwards, characters use cards which resemble their real life counterparts, though some monsters or effects differ between that of the real life trading card game and the manga and anime's Duel Monsters, with some cards created exclusively for those mediums. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's featured an anime-original card type known as Dark Synchro, which involved using "Dark Tuners" to summon Dark Synchro Monsters with negative levels. Dark Synchro cards were featured in the PlayStation Portable video game, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4, while Dark Synchro Monsters featured in the anime were released as standard Synchro Monsters in the real-life game. Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V features Action Cards, spell and trap cards that are picked up in the series' unique Action Duels, which are not possible to perform in the real life game. In the film Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions, an exclusive form of summoning known as Dimension Summoning is featured. This method allows players to freely summon a monster by deciding how many ATK or DEF points it has, but they receive damage equal to that amount when the monster is destroyed. The Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime series features Speed Duels which use a smaller number of Monster and Spell & Trap Zones and remove Main Phase 2 for faster duels. In the anime, characters can activate unique Skills depending on the situation (for example, the protagonist Yusaku can draw a random monster when his life points are below 1000) once per duel. A similar ruleset is featured in the Duel Terminal arcade machine series and the Duel Links mobile game.
With the exception of the films Pyramid of Light and The Dark Side of Dimensions, which base the card's appearance on the English version of the real-life card game, all Western releases of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime and its subsequent spin-off series, produced by 4Kids Entertainment and later 4K Media Inc., edit the appearance of cards to differentiate them from their real-life counterparts in accordance with U.S. Federal Communications Commission regulations in concerning program-length commercials, as well as to make the show more marketable across non-English speaking countries. These cards are edited to only display their background, illustration, level/rank, and ATK/DEF points.
From March 2002 to December 2008, Konami's trading cards were distributed in territories outside of Asia by The Upper Deck Company. In December 2008, Konami filed a lawsuit against Upper Deck alleging that it had distributed inauthentic Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG cards made without Konami's authorization. Upper Deck also sued Konami alleging breach of contract and slander. A few months later, a federal court in Los Angeles issued an injunction preventing Upper Deck from acting as the authorized distributor and requiring it to remove the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG from Upper Deck's website. In December 2009, the court decided that Upper Deck was liable for counterfeiting Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG cards, and it dismissed Upper Deck's countersuit against Konami. Konami is now the manufacturer and distributor of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG. It runs Regional and National tournaments and continues to release new Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG card products.

I’m reading the Rust book in my spare time for some time now and got to the topic of interior mutability.
Having a C++ background I know similiar concepts from C++ as well like const_cast or mutable and I’m really bugged by these things in C++ all the time because it let’s you do things that you wouldn’t expect from the public API.
Everytime I see constant methods in our code at work that uses some of these “hacks” as I call them to bypass the const mechanism it makes me sick because it just doesn’t feels right to do these things.
I also never got any real use case for these hacks until I read about interior mutability in the Rust book which showcases this feature in a unit testing-like scenario.
I never thought about this so far but it kind of makes sense to be able to do this in this specific scenario where the public API of some trait might get in the way.
Apart from that my mood got worse as soon as I read about Rust having these “hacks” too.
So what I really would like to know now is what real world usecases there might be other than the unit testing scenario mentioned that really need interior mutability and cannot be solved in other ways?
Internal caching/memoization is a prime use-case for interior mutability. When you have obj.get_foo() and you want to compute the value lazily and cache it internally without exposing that fact in the API (using &self, not &mut self). The way to “cheat” that is interior mutability.
Another place where I use it is in objects that are used in parallelized code. You can’t use &mut foo across threads at all, but you can easily and cheaply share &foo between threads (scoped ones, like in Rayon). So Mutex or RwLock in a struct allows having an object with all threading-friendly &self methods, but still some mutability.
BTW, they’re not hacks. They’re enforced to be correct at compile time. If the public API says something can be called with a shared reference, then it safely can.
foo = 3; // legal!
That’s because Rust doesn’t have concept of immutable memory. It only has concept of shared read-only or exclusive read-write access to memory (which is just as safe and IMHO is much more practical), and owned values that aren’t borrowed have exclusive access.
Usually shared vs exclusive access is statically decided by variable scopes and lifetimes, but interior mutability can switch between shared and exclusive access at run time (but it still guarantees you never get unsynchronized shared mutable access).
Rust has two reference types &T and &mut T. I find it helps if you don’t think of these as “immutable (or const) reference” versus “mutable reference” as is common in C++, but as “shared reference” and “exclusive reference”. If you have a &T, other code may also have that same &T. If you have a &mut T then that is exclusive; the type system guarantees no other code is looking at or interacting with T. This is the distinguishing characteristic between the two, more so than mutability.
Now consider AtomicUsize as an example, and specifically the method AtomicUsize::store which has the following signature.
In the C++ worldview you might see this method as taking a “const reference” to self and doing something dirty to mutate the underlying data through a const (immutable) reference.
In Rust I encourage you to see this method as taking a “shared reference” to self. Normally mutating a value would require an exclusive reference, but AtomicUsize employs the right synchronization to make the specific mutation performed by this method safe even with other code observing the same self, i.e. even with only a shared reference to self.
In summary: there is no such thing as const_casting an immutable reference to a mutable reference. But there is such thing as safely mutating through a shared reference by establishing mutual exclusion or synchronization in a variety of ways external to the type system.
UnsafeCell is the rust equivalent of mutable keyword. But should avoid direct use.
const_cast intent is backwards compatibility to APIs not written expecting cost type, you risk UB if trying to mutate the result.
To add to others in use; some tracer variables (eg counter) can sometimes be used, typically a debugging aid.
Ah yes caching makes sense of course. Haven’t thought of this because I usually either don’t have to cache stuff or do it in different ways that don’t require interior mutability in C++.
On the other hand it kind of makes sense that this works as you move the old data into the shadow variable.
Yes, I’m sure. You have to comment-out the // illegal line. | 2019-04-25T12:35:15 | https://users.rust-lang.org/t/use-cases-for-interior-mutability/21341 |

Jaakko Eino Kalevi comes to us in a tranquil sprawl on the cover art for Out of Touch. All is at peace, as Kalevi blends effortlessly into the sandy environment, just as much a natural fixture of the landscape as the tufts of beach grass that encircle him. In its shut-eyed pose, this image sets the tone for Out of Touch: a beautifully muted and interior album, whose hazy elegance reveals a wealth of atmospheric, if not readily immediate, pleasures.
The sonic palette of Kalevi's work has not expanded significantly since his debut, still trading heavily as he does in blurred-out vocals, lounge-y instrumentation, and glints of electro-pop synth. When these elements come together in equal force, as they do on album highlight "This World," the results are quietly dazzling, with Kalevi sketching rich shades of emotion using nothing but the pastel crayons from the box. These same hazy edges, however, reveal a tendency to bring tracks together into a kind of cloudy repetition, that, at times, gives Out of Touch a static uniformity.
Nonetheless, the imagistic detail with which Kalevi approaches his work makes even these moments on the record worth exploring. "Emotions in Motion" contains some of the more out-there lyrical material on the record, addressing someone who was "afraid of junkies and aliens" against a background of fuzzy saxophone and crisp drums. Elsewhere, "People In the Centre of the City" breaks off from flitting synths to describe in dramatic detail two people riding escalators, whose "eyes connect… and so do the escalators." These wonderfully surreal lyrical moments bring the record an undeniable life force. | 2019-04-23T03:55:03 | http://exclaim.ca/music/article/jaakko_eino_kalevi-out_of_touch |

Syrians faced death while crossing boundaries. Angelina Jolie visit to extend help.
A photograph of a drowned 3-year old Syrian-Kurdish boy named Aylan Kurdi surfaced online on the 4th of September. His young body was found in the shores of Bodrum. Photographs were taken by journalist Nilufer Demir and had spread worldwide that broke millions of hearts and called international responses.
Aylan was one of the 12 confirmed refugees, including 4 more children and a woman, who have drowned after two boats sank on their way to escape the chaotic war in the Southwest Turkey heading to Kos, Greece.
Along with Aylan’s heartbreaking photograph, is the trending topic that conquered the twitter world on the same date; #KiyiyaVuranInsanlik or #HumanityWashedAshore where netizens shared their sympathies and prayers to the victims of the boat wrecks and the war itself.
Syrian Nationals had been risking their lives to escape the ongoing bloodshed in their homeland since 2011. Anti-government demonstrations began to escalate from peaceful protests to violent crackdowns that provokes the Syrians to move out and to transfer to Europe.
According to UNHCR, more than 2500 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea. But death is just one of the dreadful results of the war. Lots of photographs of Syrian Nationals who had survived the sea fare and safely landed to Europe were posted online.
Pictures of parents struggling to make a living in the foreign country showed how hard it is to deal with not being ‘legal’, like the father who’s carrying his kids while selling pens because he could not land a decent job. Another is a picture of a family being captured and forcibly sent back to Syria by the police before getting into the borders. Making a statement that the war is not only in their homelands, it starts there but never ends there.
Even Hollywood star and UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina Jolie along with her nine year old daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, took time to take a glimpse and extend a hand of help to the Syrian refugees.
Jolie said at a news conference in Southwest Turkey that the world is living through an era of mass displacement. Actress-Commissioner encouraged to public to do more to help.
'Never before have so many people been dispossessed or stripped of their human rights,' Jolie said. | 2019-04-22T17:08:20 | https://www.centertechnews.com/2015/09/syrians-faced-death-while-crossing-boundaries-angelina-jolie-visit-to-extend-help.html |
What does it take to build a bespoke, off-site manufactured luxurious eco home?
After a detailed design briefing about the location of your plot, the local planning requirements, your favourite architectural style, your requirements for layout, space and your target budget, your bespoke home will be designed by experienced architects at Stommel Haus.
After the planning permission was obtained with the help of a local planning consultant, an exciting three-day fitting meeting in Germany will be held, where you make all your detailed selections of fittings – from the colours to the interior doors, the floorings, bathrooms suites and decorations to the tailor made stair case.
With a slab plan provided after the fitting meeting, you can get your slab built by a local builder.
In Germany, the architectural design will now be translated into production plans; a typical house needs about 350 to 400 plans which are then turned by skilled carpenters and joiners into precision made elements in the factory.
This meticulous preparation takes several weeks; however, the production in the factory takes only about 5 days.
The wall panels with their high quality triple glazing windows and exterior doors as well as all roof truss, guttering and other materials are loaded on 38 ton trucks which will be shipped on site just in time.
In the meantime scaffolding is set up and the site is prepared.
Shell Assembly: Lorry by lorry is unloaded and directly assembled, the ground floor is up on day 1, the second floor on day 2. The house is wind- and water tight typically after 5 days and after a few days of fine tuning and clearing up, a shell acceptance protocol is drawn up by the site manager and yourself.
Kitting out: If you ordered the fully fitted house, the kitting out will start with the first fix electrics and heating/plumbing. Qualified master electricians, plumbers and heating engineers come from Germany with their materials to install electrics, plumbing, under-floor heating on all storeys, and the heating. Typically a state-of-the-art air- or ground source heat pump is installed. After that the screed will be installed on all storeys.
Once the screed was tested to be dry, the flooring will be installed, decoration is done and bathrooms are fitted.
When all this is done, the Stommel Haus project manager comes in to do a final meticulous acceptance and prepares a written protocol which is signed by both parties.
The house is no handed over and ready for you to move in. | 2019-04-20T07:16:32 | http://designbuybuild.co.uk/stommel-haus/ |

"Training participants do not concentrate on the contents of the training, but they watch the trainers' behaviour – whether their behaviour is as per their teaching / saying in the classroom or not. Moreover, participants will bring their learning in practice if they are convinced with trainers' practical behaviour"
(Mr. Uttam Dhakhwa, Sharing Forum on Spirituality and Development).
Why to use PRA? This question has been raised in various fora, like training and workshops. In my experience, I have mainly seen three major important components of PRA; attitude and behaviour aspect, Concept or vision aspect, and process (of application of tools) or skill aspect. The third aspect seems to be very clear, which concentrates on how to use its tools. There is a comment that most of the training focuses on this aspect. Training starts from the history of PRA and ends with the application of tools.
The first component deals the question; who should use PRA? What are the characteristics needed of a PRA practitioners. Second question concentrates on why to use PRA – Why not other tools? What are the values of PRA? Likewise, the third component focuses on how to use its tools more effectively? What is the process of its application?
Participation of local people depends on the attitude of PRA facilitator.
Once one of my colleagues told me that, “You know, what does development mean? In my experience, it is mainly sharing happiness with others.” He explained, with various cases he had experienced, and I liked his idea of development.
A Didi (sister) came to work in our village. We ignored her for a long time. You know, the villagers told her to go back (as they had some bitter experiences with previous development workers) but, on the other hand, she would think about our problems for the whole night. She was so nice. Eventually, we liked her and worked together and completed many things. Now we have our own co-operatives. We did literacy classes. We did have very nice time to be with her. We were very happy while working together and enjoyed a lot. We completed all our work happily, you know. We get excited even now by remembering those days. We love our project very much and we never let it die even to recall our time with her.
Those villagers even cannot pronounce the name of the organizations properly; the only thing they revealed repeatedly was that they were very happy to be with that Bikase Didi (‘development worker - sister’). Unfortunately, we could not meet that Didi, but when shared about her, what we found was she used to be very happy to work with rural women. We came to know that her only motto was to share happiness with other people. Both villagers and Didi shared their happiness. The drinking water project was the means for them to share happiness. And, that happiness brought that project into success. The villagers do not care about the amount spent for the project, nor do they remember how much was spent. During the whole evaluation period, they recalled their happiness repeatedly. That happiness encouraged them to do many other things. Now they have their own co-operative, they have formed a maintenance committee among the women. They have saving groups. “We are happy to be in a group and we come there, we share our problems and in fact we can share our happiness there,” they said.
The construction of the project is almost completed, but we do not even recognize the project people. They keep changing the staff members. We never see any people for the second time in the village. We do not think this is our project. We heard that they have formed a working group. We do not know who they are. They must be among the political leaders. The staffs do not have an office here nor do they have any permanent place to stay. Most often they go back to Kathmandu or Trishuli (the district headquarters) on their vehicle after visiting the sites. One of the neighbouring village's contractors has taken responsibility of construction work. We once went to talk to the staff members, but they did seem happy to talk to us.
The villagers have been fetching water from the nearby spring for many years; and they can continue to do this in the time to come as well. The villagers were not asked about their desires; what their real thinking was. It was planning by the outsiders and also implemented with the support of a handful of people who did not have water problem themselves. Here, we found that the project could not be the means of sharing happiness. The gap between the villagers and project people started widening from the very beginning of the project's entry into the village. It seems that the staffs took that project as just a part of their job. They think that they are kind to the villagers by bringing a project to the village. They are not ready to take the time to talk to the villagers; if they do not talk to the people, how can they share happiness?
Our history tells us many stories regarding the participatory work done by the people themselves. We can find that people have made many temples, roads, dug wells and ponds, schools and so on. They used to do all these things as if they were celebrating the ceremonies. If you go on analysing, you will find that the main motivation behind all of these things was to share happiness. They used to sing songs, conduct social work collectively, shared food with each other at parties, laughed and enjoyed and completed their work. It seems, sometimes they do share their happiness by giving something to others and sometimes by taking from others and sometimes by sharing with each other.
I am not sure whether I can get such a ‘happy environment’ in the new place or not. I am very happy to work with my colleagues here with whom I can share my happiness. I am enjoying my work here. Yes, of course, they have offered me a double salary and facilities. But, I am afraid of losing my happiness.
We have not found any PRA training boring so far. Recently, I reviewed 60 PRA training reports. I consulted the evaluation part done by the participants, which is mainly done at the end of the training. I never found in even a single report that PRA training is boring. You will find there saying like: "Ten days spent like ten minutes," "The learning process was like games," "We did not feel bored," "We laughed a lot," "We shared a lot," etc. What you learn from PRA can be learnt in other ways as well. However, one of the main values of PRA, in my experience, is that it creates an environment for sharing happiness. The participants do not feel hierarchy there; they do not feel any disparities (socio-economic, caste, gender) there. They all laugh, learn and share. Sharing happiness develops the sentimental attachment among the sharers that is what PRA ultimately does either during the training or in the community.
One of the PRA facilitator once shared.
"A team of PRA practitioners came headed with four or five porters carrying their lodging and foodstuffs. They arrived in the village and some of them went to find the chickens, some went to cut the branches of trees for an evening camp fire. A group of youths went to the water-tap and started teasing the young village girls. In the evening they had a big cultural evening. They played Angreji (English) music and started to disco dance. They shouted and the dancing stopped only when two dancing drunk guys began to fight. The next morning they gathered only seven or eight people, including 3 from the house where they had stayed, and ‘did PRA’."
This kind of non-participatory PRA does not share happiness but steal the happiness of people. Moreover, such PRA exercises, with their vested interests, also ruins the values of PRA itself.
Whatever we do through PRA can be done in other ways too. Using other techniques as well can raise participation of community people. We can encourage the illiterate and marginalised section to participate in development processes by using other techniques. But, the main value, or contribution, of PRA is that it holds the potential to create an environment of sharing happiness.
After that exercise, we talked at length with the man. We found that he had a source of happiness within him. All the villagers feel his absence when he goes away for several days. The PRA team realized that of course basic needs (at least) are the right of all human beings, and hunger might create obstacles in the way of feeling happiness. However, economic well-being cannot be compared with emotional and spiritual well-being.
"Yes of course, we want justice, we do not want disparity, we do not want exploitation and we want ‘the empowerment of the disempowered’. Therefore, we want the marginalized people or deprived people's participation in their development process. We want to listen to them. We want to listen to their ideas. We want to be their friends in the process of their empowerment. We want this not because this is our job but because we will be more happy for this. We want them to ‘rise’ and the disparities to become smaller. We should let them feel that we will be happy to be their friends in their empowerment process. This is how we share happiness with them. Once, they understand our desires, they also start sharing their happiness with us. Yes, of course PRA can help us a lot to share happiness with the marginalized sections. PRA removes all the formalities between us and PRA supports the process to go on as per their way of thinking."
One of the VDC chairpersons shared his experience of using PRA for planning.
"Before PRA, we used to collect demands from each ward members. Our table used to suffer a lot before - as each and every ward member tried to prove their demands were the most important by banging on the table! However, pair-wise ranking has saved our poor table these days. We do all the prioritizing happily."
It has been through this process that I have learnt from the experiences I have had so far that PRA helps us to share our happiness with the villagers as well as their happiness with us, and of course especially with those who are vulnerable and marginalized. I believe that reflecting on the positive aspects (of anything) can help us to go forward for development. Reflecting only on the negative aspects encloses us; we cannot go forward through concentrating on the negative alone.

The Barnes & Noble NOOK Color was the first popular 7 inch Android tablet to sell for under $250. It went on sale in the fall of 2010, and while the tablet features a highly customized version of Android designed to work with B&N’s app and book stores, it didn’t take hackers long to figure out how to load custom ROMs on the NOOK Color.
Nearly three years later, the state of NOOK Color hacking is still going strong. You can now download nightly builds of CyanogenMod 10.1 for the 7 inch tablet, allowing you to run a custom version of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with full access to the Google Play Store.
The NOOK Color is an aging tablet with an 800 MHz ARM Cortex-A8 single core processor, 512MB of RAM, and 8GB of storage.
So it may not work quite as well as a newer tablet with modern hardware. But it’s impressive to see that it can run Android 4.2 at all. Barnes & Noble’s latest software for the NOOK Color is still based on Android 2.2 Froyo.
CyanogenMod is a custom version of Android based on Google’s source code. But it includes a number of tweaks that make Android easier to customize, including options to change icons in the notification tray, customize the quick settings panel, or make other modifications.
Version 10.1 is based on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. While the NOOK Color build is still a work in progress, developers have worked out many of the kinks since the first alpha builds were released in February.
Official nightly builds of CyanogenMod 10.1 for the newer NOOK Tablet also started rolling out earlier this month. That tablet looks a lot like the NOOK Color, but features a faster 1 GHz TI OMAP 4 ARM Cortex-A9 dual core CPU and 1GB of RAM. | 2019-04-21T04:08:45 | https://liliputing.com/2013/04/bn-nook-color-gets-official-cm10-1-nightlies-android-4-2.html |

Nicki Minaj‘s hairstyle inspiration is cartoon character Marge Simpson. The eccentric rapper has recently been seen in a number of gravity-defying beehive wigs, and claims the idea came to her when thinking about the animated matriarch’s tall blue hairstyle.
Nicki also said that unlike some stars, she will happily wear her wigs more than once–providing they are clean.

The Rooipunt Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Project located in the Northern Cape Province is a 150 megawatt solar thermal power station incorporating 12 hours of full load storage (1,800 megawatts-hours). Rooipunt will deliver about 730 gigawatt-hours of power annually – providing fully dispatchable baseload electricity to the network when electricity is needed most. Storage will enable the solar thermal station to operate just like a conventional coal, gas or nuclear power station, reliably generating electricity day and night – except without any emissions. The Rooipunt project was developed in response to the South Africa Department of Energy’s Expedited Round (referred to as Round 4.5) call for CSP projects for the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP).
In addition to helping South Africa meet its electricity needs with zero-emissions power that is available around the clock, the Rooipunt project will bring long lasting economic benefits to the region. The project is expected to create up to 6,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs during construction, the majority of which will be in South Africa, and around 75 long-term jobs during the operations phase. During the construction period, more than 45% of capital costs will be spent on South African content. The project will have over 20% of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) shareholding, and a percentage of total project revenues will be set aside for enterprise and socioeconomic development which will be invested for the benefit of local communities each year. | 2019-04-19T07:10:49 | https://www.solarreserve.com/en/global-projects/csp/rooipunt |

Image: Is Open Access a viable alternative to commercial journal publishing?
The movement toward open access is a relatively recent event in scholarly publishing, spurred on largely by increases in journal subscription prices, consolidation among commercial publishers, and efficiencies in digital technology that allow low-cost distribution and sharing.
Scholarly Publishing is the system through which research results and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use for other scholars, learners, and the public good. The system is in a state of rapid flux and evolution, driven by new information technologies, low marginal costs of online distribution, and changing reader expectations.
Authors have found new and creative ways of disseminating their scholarly work. Over the past decade, Open Access has become central to advancing the interests of researchers, scholars, students, businesses, the public, and librarians. Increasingly, institutions that support research — from public and private research funders to institutions of higher education — are implementing policies that require researchers to make articles that report on research generated from their funding openly accessible and fully useable by the public.
Scholarly Publishing has become an overarching term used by academic libraries to describe a suite of services that support academic researchers and authors - open access publishing, institutional repositories, electronic theses and dissertations, authors’ rights and copyright advising, research data management, digital preservation, open educational resources, and support for the tools of digital scholarship. | 2019-04-19T05:21:10 | https://guides.lib.uw.edu/research/spoa |

What do I mean by “green”?
Over the past few years the word “green” has grown from simply describing the color we see in the visible light spectrum with a wave length between 520 – 565 , into a word that suggests environmental responsibility, renewable resources and sustainabiliy.
Of course, marketing gurus have wasted no time injecting the word (and color) into every advertising format imaginable. NBC has “Green Week” every year that forces all of their shows to cover environmental topics. Knowing the power of “green”, I even wedged it into the title of this article. Hey, that’s why you’re reading this article, right?
During 2008 the phrases beginning with “green” could be seen everywhere, and that’s why some say the “green” fad is dying. Our emerald adjective suffers the fate of all things popular: Overused and Abuse. Green washing may be on its way out, but environmentally responsible business is here to stay. Truly responsible businesses will include their website in their plans to go green.
Your website consumes power on two levels.
1. The electricity used by the server your website’s files are hosted on.
2. The electricity used by the computers of your website’s visitors.
While you can’t control the efficiency of your visitors’ computers, you can choose which company hosts your website.
A typical website hosting company simply plugs into the local grid for power and doesn’t ask any questions. The power company could be burning endangered animals for power and they would be none the wiser. As long as the power is on they’re happy.
An environmentally responsible hosting company uses clean power to host your website. These companies are either “Carbon-Free” or “Carbon-Neutral”.
Carbon-Free: They generate power on site through solar, wind, or other renewable means. No additional carbon is produced by the hosting of your website. You can sleep easy at night knowing your saving the world.
Carbon-Neutral: They “nuetralize” their carbon pollution by purchasing credits. These credits support the generation of power by renewable sources that is fed back into the grid. This does support the renewables industry, but still consumes non-renewable resources and produces carbon pollution. Some Carbon-Neutral will also plant trees for each new customer or something similar, but that still doesn’t get around the initial pollution produced.
Web hosting that doesn’t cost the earth.
Web hosting as nature intended.
For more website hosts with a mixture of Carbon-Free and Carbon-Neutral services check out some of the companies in this directory.
The choice is yours. If you really want your website to be “green”, go “Carbon-Free”. | 2019-04-26T02:37:01 | https://parisvega.com/2009/01/05/green-website-hosting-a-carbon-free-solution/ |
As you have noticed, intrepid readers, I have been away from the blog for a couple of weeks. I have a variety of well-rehearsed excuses, but the real reason is that I have been doing the pick-and-shovel work of writing Skins and Bone, whose plot is based on a somewhat intricate set of financial transactions. My struggle has been how to provide enough background without boring the reader.
The leader of a writing group I’m in suggested that I watch a 2011 movie, Margin Call, which is based on the intricate financial transactions behind the 2007-8 financial meltdown of the financial markets and seems to be channeling the Lehman Brothers story. The movie has helped me immensely. It made me realize that that there are two groups of readers for any book with technical details in the plot: the presumably smallish group that understands the details and will be critical if the author slips up on details, and the much larger group that wants to get on with the story. Margin Call handles this by using technical detail when it needs to without lengthy definitions … in fact, without any definition at all. For those of us that know VAR means Value At Risk, for example, the movie uses the term accurately. Margin Call doesn’t explain VAR or MBS (mortgage-backed security) or counterparty risk, but it develops a plot that depends on those concepts. Instead of intricate detail, it goes straight for the conclusion: Kevin Spacey, looking at a monitor over the shoulder of a junior analyst, says, “This number here is telling me that we’re going under, right?” So, both the critical techies and the interested general readers are given what they need.
Phew! I guess that means I don’t have to get into stochastic calculus in Skins and Bone. It’s just sufficient to know that my character Weezy understands it.

What if the children of the .0001% reject their family legacies of global brutality and tear down the billionaire patriarchy? The new ongoing series BILLIONAIRE KILLERS returns to the provocative world of YOUNG TERRORISTS for a standalone story about corruption, conspiracy, and what happens when the next generation vows to burn it all down. We live in an age where the CEO of ExxonMobil can be America's Secretary Of State. A hedge fund manager worth $300 million is the Secretary Of The Treasury. A lawyer who sued the EPA 14 times is head of the EPA. In BILLIONAIRE KILLERS, the children of elites discover their fathers are not just titans of finance and politics, but grand masters of international crime empires spanning corrupt governments, arms manufacturers, international banks, and even terrorist groups. From writer Matteo Pizzolo [CALEXIT, YOUNG TERRORISTS] and your new favorite artist Soo Lee [FANTOMAH] comes a family saga about an elder generation that went to extreme lengths for power, and the younger generation forced to look at the parents they love and reject the bloodied legacy handed down to them. It's a world where the President stops even bothering to hide the fact that America is ruled by corporations; a world where the next generation declares: enough. | 2019-04-26T11:59:00 | https://freshcomics.us/issue/JAN181304/billionaire-killers-1-nahuelpan-cover |
The canonizations of Pope St. John XXIII and Pope St. John Paul II has been characterized as the day of four popes as Pope (Emeritus) Benedict XVI concelebrated the Canonization Mass with Pope Francis.
One wag visually depicted this monumental moment in a homage to the Beatles.
As unprecedented of an occurrence as this "Day of Four Popes" was-- Sorry John (sic), it was not bigger than Jesus either.
On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen released a statement which extended his first official condolences of the Shoah. Unlike prior Palestinian leaders (namely Yasser Arafat) who would say moderate things in English translation but would be undaunted anti-semitic in the Arabic original, Abbas' statement was released in both English and Arabic.
This statement is in stark contrast to his doctrinal thesis from Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow later published as The Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism (1984) in which he claimed: the Zionist fantasy, the fantastic lie that six million Jews were killed” and claimed that only some 890,000 Jews were killed by the Nazis. Moreover these were chiefly the victims of a Zionist-Nazi plot in the Havaara Agrement (1933) to facilitate German emigration to the Palestine Mandate. Such a theory contributes to the fever swamp frenzy of Holocaust deniers. Abbas had backtracked from this thesis in 2011 when he asserted that he could accept that six million people were killed during the Holocaust.
Abbas' conciliatory statements are not being welcomed with open arms by the Israeli government. As Abbas reiterated his Holocaust condolence statement, Abbas' ruling Palestinian Fatah party (which prevails in the West Bank) made a rapprochement with Hamas, the terror organization which is based in the exclave Gaza Strip.
As Hamas is still dedicated in its charter to the destruction of Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet unanimously decided to break off negotiations with a Palestinian government which incorporates Hamas. In addition, Israel is planning to impose economic sanctions against the Palestinian Authority by withholding tax revenue collected by Israel on behalf of the PA.
Three Tibetan Buddhist monks from South India worked on a sand mandala for several days at the Jersey City, NJ City Hall. These mandalas use millions of grains of sand in various colors arranged in an intricate Medicine Buddhist pattern.
Traditionally, after the work is created, it is then destroyed in a ceremony to symbolize the fleeting nature of life.
Well, this mandala went down differently. When there was only an hours work left on the mandala, a toddler, whose mother was participating in a US naturalization ceremony with dozens of other new citizens, mistook the mandala as a play area. The boy jumped onto the mandala and significantly smudged the center portion of the center portion of the sand sculpture, thereby destroying days of painstaking work.
When the monks arrived to finish their work, the mortified mayor's aide greeted them with an ashen faced demeanor and revealed the damage.
The monks worked on repairing what they could so as not to disappoint the sides of the mandala which only had small portions disrupted. Unfortunately, the middle section with an array of eight Buddhas was an unsalvageable swirl of colored sand. It took about two hours to make the mandala presentable.
Geshe Wangdu, the Buddhist monk who arranged for the three Tibitan artists to come from Sera Mey Kongpo Khangtsen for the display, brushed off the trouble. In fact, Wangdu suggested that the child taught everyone the lesson which the mandala is support to impart. As Wangdu put it: "It's so beautiful, and then it's gone." As former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey (D-NJ), who arranged for the peace tour to stop in Jersey City, later exuded: “This is so fitting that the hand of a child once again reminds us of life’s fleeting nature and of the need to do good while we’re present.
The official ritual mandala destruction ceremony was scheduled for later that day. The mandala was dissolved in a private ceremony. Afterwards, the monks and a crowd of spectators marched down to the Hudson River to throw the sand in the water.
While Seth Meyers' paternal grandfather was Jewish and Seth has performed at some Jewish community centers, he does not consider himself Jewish.
Judaism is a religion which is dependent on matriarchal lineage. But based upon his quip, it seems that based upon his persona, he is considered a member of "The Tribe".
Last spring, husband and wife veteran filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Anne McElhinney were publicizing their feature documentary Fracknation as the murder trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell was occurring in Philadelphia. McAleer was amazed at the lack of coverage of a prolific serial killer that murdered two women in botched late term abortions in unsanitary conditions, used a brutal snipping technique to kill a thousand children beyond the legal limit for abortion and also dealt prescription drugs.
Yet the national mainstream media ignored the Gosnell case, dismissing it like a local murder case while lavishing attention on the concurrent Jodi Arias murder trial. McAleer did man on the street interviews in California to learn about what the public knew about sensational murder trials.
"The reason why they don't do this one is not because the evil is so grotesque. It's that it's too close to a moral choice they've made. That's what it's about. It's not that like, ah it's so hard to do something on this man who butchered babies. It's because it's too close to the pro-choice mindset."
However, McAleer and McElhinney were so haunted by the Gosnell trial that they backed away from other crowd-source funded projects so as to make a movie about Gosnell. Yet Anne & Phelim Media encountered more velvet gloved censorship by Kickstarter, which claims to not curate projects but would not allow them to describe their dramatized movie idea as being about a mass murderer who killed a thousand children as it allegedly violated community standards which Kickstart "encourages and (selectively) enforces". McAleer believes that it is within Kickstarter's right to not facilitate funding but that it should be forthright that it is due to the project matter not a transparent lie about community standards which it does not enforce for sundry other offensive projects.
So they moved their crowd-source funding efforts to Indiegogo, where they have raised $1.2 million of a fixed target $2.1 million. If they do not make their designated funding mark by May 12th, the money reverts back to the prospective investors.
There is already an excellent documentary film 3801 Lancaster, which interviews victims of Gosnell's House of Horrors. So McAleer and McElhinney want to make dramatized version of the Gosnell story which would run on the Lifetime Movie Network rather than a feature documentary to reach a wider audience.
It is easy for seaboard elitists to dismiss a film about Gosnell as just being by religious zealots with pro-life propaganda, which is a touch charge to apply to McAleer and McElhinney. In addition, this dismissive instinct ignores how Dr. Gosnell was a racist as he gave his white patients much better and cleaner abortion services than his clients of color.
A film about Gosnell must also include a political angle. Former Governor Tom Ridge (R-PA) was elected as chief executive of the Keystone State as a moderate Republican. The governor's office made it clear that the Commonwealth should do nothing to impede abortion services, so Gosnell's clinic was not properly inspected for 17 years, despite gruesome reports and several deaths.
Gosnell's clinic was raided because Gosnell was writing prescriptions like a pell mell pill mill for Oxycotin and the ilk. That raid permitted police to stumble upon an unsanitary abortion butchery, where Gosnell kept severed limbs as trophies.
Hearing the filmmakers promote their project, it is clear that they yearn to tell a compelling true story about a prolific American serial killer and pull back the curtain on details which a progressive public would rather ignore.
If one wishes to help actuate the Gosnell movie project, one can contribute to the efforts at www.gosnellmovie.com. Those who contribute $25 will get a DVD of the film. But the filmmakers also implore people to contribute anything to show that people care.
For over a decade, wrestlers from the Parkersville South (West Virginia) High School have chosen to wear shirts which bear the scriptural verse: "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." This motto was also emblazoned on the team's website.
After a complaint from the Wisconsin based Freedom from Religion Foundation, Wood County (WV) School Superintendent Pat Law, demanded that the team take the motto off their web presence, but for the time being the students can continue to voluntarily wear the shirts. It was prudent for the grapplers to take the verse off their website so that there is no question about the separation of church and state. But the privately funded tee shirts with the empowering message are another story altogether.
The school is concerned about agitation from aggressive atheist groups who want to wipe any expression of Christian faith from the public square, while balancing the rights of citizens.
Even though the Parkersburg South wrestlers had been voluntarily wearing these shirts (paid for by parent boosters), the school system rolled at the raising of one complaint. Presumably this was to avoid costly law suits. It is dubious if the Wood County will dare to bar other t-shirts which others might find "offensive".
The Freedom from Religion Foundation proclaim that it "works as an umbrella for those who are free from religion and are committed to the cherished principle of separation of state and church." Yet their news over the past three months only consists of Judeo-Christian agitation. No mention is made on the FFRF website about the many municipal accommodations which are made for Muslims. None of their current lawsuits tackle topics like the incorporation of Sharia law, New York schools taking days off for Muslim religions holidays, public foot washes etc. Their fight to enforce the separation of church and state could be given more credence if it took on those troubling topics instead of just being contrarians curmudgeons against Judeo-Christian traditions.
Even though the Parkersburg South wrestlers had been voluntarily wearing these shirts (paid for by parent boosters), the school system rolled at the raising of one complaint. Presumably this was to avoid costly law suits.
Aside from the outcomes of games, high school sports teach valuable lessons. The Parkersburg South Wrestling kerfluffle demonstrates that a lone dissenting voice can overcome an empowering message with the quisling support of a politically correct administrator. The Plymouth/Canton bleacher imbroglio exemplifies that a politically correct America will enforce equality at all costs and the PC government can override and rip out privately funded improvements to make its point.
The rabbit has long been associated with Easter. Pagan Germanic tribes worshiped Eostroa, a Teutonic goddess of fertility, whose symbol was a rabbit around the vernal equinox. The Catholic church syncretically incorporated this traditions in the 15th century with Christian overtones. The fecund fertility of the rabbit reaffirmed how the feast of the resurrection brought new life to the world. Moreover, medieval people thought that the rabbit could reproduce without losing its virginity, thus it was a reminder of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The Easter Bunny originated among German Lutherans in the late 17th century as the Easter Hare acted as a judge as to whether children were naughty at the start of Eastertide. Pennsylvanian Dutch folklore in America had the Osterhase giving gift of colored eggs that they made in their caps and bonnets only to the good children. Germans were also the first to make chocolate Easter eggs in the 19th century. The tradition spread in America that the Easter Bunny delivered baskets of treats to children on Easter. Walt Disney built upon this folk tradition with his Silly Symphonies Funny Little Bunnies (1934) short.
But what would make these funny bunnies really happy is Bos Keun a seasonal Passbier (Easter Beer) brewed by Brouwerij De Dolle Brouwers in Essen, Belgium.
Johnny Hart was cartoonist who produced the comic strip B.C. from 1958 until his death at the drawing board in 2007. After Hart's renewal of religious faith in 1977 in Presybyterianism, the comic strip often incorporated Christian themes into the pre-historic backdrop.
This was even more evident for pieces run during Holy Week.
Some Jewish critics argued against a depiction of replacement theology. But Hart offered an apology "if I have offended any readers," but still thought the strip could increase "religious awareness" and claimed that he had meant the strip to be a tribute to both religions.
If one needs more traditional timber for the conveyance of scripture, one can certainly rely upon the charismatic current Archbishop of New York, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, to contextualize Good Friday.
The Reverend Al Sharpton gave an unusual Easter message on the Tom Joyner Show. Sharpton tried to be ecumenical to reach out to Christians, Jews and atheists with an anti-materialist message to remember the reason for the season.
Sharpton alluded to every man challenges where people feel crucified. Sharpton encouraged folks to rise above their suffering and not become like the disease they fight. Sharpton closed his secular preaching by alluding to an alleged crucifixion of Barack Obama. The Reverend claimed that he was not comparing Obama to Jesus but for every crucifixion there is a resurrection for those who believe.
So the question is on the orthodoxy of Reverend Al Sharpton's Easter message that to every crucifixion there is a resurrection for those who believe, so rise above your unearned suffering.
Did Rev. Al Sharpton correctly convey the Easter Message?
For those who want to hear more of Reverend Sharpton's preaching, you will not find him in church but on PoliticsNation, 6 PM et on MSNBC.
While Mr. Bloomberg is Jewish in origin and agnostic in practice, he is confident that his nanny state policies banning Big Gulps, trans-fats, salt and his efforts to grab guns has earned him an easy pass through the Pearly Gates, should it exist.
Bloomberg's metaphysical musings seem counter to Christian concepts of sacrificial redemption from the Cross, which will be celebrated this weekend during the Triduum and Easter.
In anticipation of the dual canonizations of Pope Saint John XXIII and Pope Saint John Paul II, I wanted to examine the merits of the men whose heroic virtues the Catholic Church recognizes must be in heaven.
Contemporary memory of Pope John XXIII was that he was a portly septuagenarian Patriarch of Venice who was elected in 1958 to be a caretaker seat warmer on the Chair of Saint Peter. Yet “Papa Roncalli” audaciously called for what became the Second Vatican Council which brought the liturgy into the vernacular. “The Good Pope John” died after a pontificate of just over four years and one third of the way into Vatican II.
That thumbnail sketch of Pope John XXIII’s papacy is simplified but accurate. Yet it does not explain the apoplectic opposition from some traditional Catholics, who consider “Roncalli” an anti-pope.
To better understand objections by radical traditionalist “Catholics”, I braved the fever swamps of internet intrigue, old school insider catholic baseball as well as historical peculiarities. I wanted to discern if their counter arguments were persuasive or held merit.
Those who are Sirianists strongly cling to an anomaly associated with the 1958 Conclave. The College of Cardinals were reduced to 51 electors as Pope Pius XII only held two Consistories (in 1945 and 1953) during his 19 year reign, and many of the participating Cardinals were quite elderly. In fact two Cardinal electors died in the Interregnum prior to the Consistory so only 49 Cardinals participated.
On the first evening of the Conclave, white smoke was reported coming from the Sistine Chapel indicating “Habemus Papem”. Even Vatican Radio announced: "The smoke is white... There is absolutely no doubt. A Pope has been elected." However, no Pope appeared and after perhaps twenty minutes, the smoke changed to black.
Radical traditionalist postulate that Cardinal Giuseppe Siri, the Archbishop of Genoa and leading conservative papabili allegedly had been unanimously elected Pope and chosen the name Gregory XVII. However, they claim that while still in Conclave, Siri’s election was suppressed under duress by grey eminence Dean Cardinal Eugene Tisserant to prevent the assassinations of Iron Curtain Bishops. Some even believe that the Kremlin had imitated a nuclear threat on the Holy See. So Cardinal Siri supposedly said: "If you do not want me, then elect someone else". This Siri election was supposedly corroborated by a CIA report, but the pages concerning the event have been lost. Curious that there is confirmation without credible corroboration.
After votes are tallied in a Conclave, an elected is asked if he accepts the election. If so, he is asked for his desired regnal name. At that point, he is Pope. So if the Siri Thesis has merit, the Archbishop of Genoa had accepted and given the name “Gregory XVII”. Afterwards, the vote was suppressed with threats.
Yet according to the 1917 Code of Canon Law, Canon 187: "Resignation made out of grave fear that is inflicted unjustly or out of malice, substantial error, or simony is invalid by the law itself." Hence, Siri was the legitimate pope who was prevented from taking his place– Sede Impeditists– and the succeeding popes were anti-popes,.
The 1958 Conclave remained deadlocked for two more days. Since Conclave proceedings are secret, conspiracy theorists string together conjecture with fragments of “facts”. According to the intrigue, Cardinal Federico Tedeschini, an 85 year old curial cardinal, was elected as a “transitional pope” but his acceptance was immediately quashed with threats.
Eventually, another transitional pope was sought, but bitter radical traditionalists bemoan that another compromise candidate the Patriarch of Venice Cardinal Angelo Roncalli, an alleged free mason, was elected Pope John XXIII on the eleventh ballot, facilitated by B'nai B'rith (Jewsish Masonic) alleged collaborator Cardinal Tisserant. Some Sede Impeditists allege that a cabal of free mason cardinals which planned a “satanic coup d’etat” to install Roncalli as the 262nd Supreme Pontiff.
So radical traditionalist Catholics question Pope John XXIII’s election due to the Siri Thesis. Moreover they allege that Archbishop Roncalli was initiated as a 33rd degree free mason at the Grand Orient Lodge while as nuncio in Paris in 1935 in Paris and participated in the Istanbul Workshops. This charge hinges on a Mason’s confession 44 years after Pope John XXIII’s election. Of course, any Catholic who knowingly becomes a free mason incurs latae sententiae excommunication.
These supposed free mason allegations are bolstered by charges that the “Good Pope John’s” pectoral cross had symbols similar to masonic signs. Moreover, Pope John XXIII’s policies of seeking closer relations with the Orthodox and other Christians were deemed heretical by catholic dissenters as being masonic and may have also been an accommodation to Soviet Communists. Some Pope John XXIII detractors also question his early associations with Modernist priests and comfort associating with known free masons and socialists. So if nothing can be proven, this technique smears on a guilt by association. Such critics will claim that heretics can not be considered legitimate popes.
As a historian, the 1958 Conclave had some interesting elements which makes one wonder. The 49 electors, with many being curial lends credence to some “palace intrigue”. Furthermore, the initial puffs of white smoke combined with confusion in the Sede Vacante Vatican on the first day of the 1958 Conclave was interesting, but inconclusive. Allegations of a fifth column or satanic coup d’etat seem like fantastic filaments in a rad/trad yarn.
If one were to believe some sources, Cardinal Siri was elected several times before he finally accepted after an unanimous vote, which was supposedly vitiated by Cardinal Tisserant, who was orchestrating Cardinal Roncalli’s election. However, if this were the case, why would the election of Pope John XXIII take seven more votes, including an election of Cardinal Tedeschini, which is then quashed with more threats? Cardinal Roncalli must have been a simple man kept out of the loop, as he had only packed a small suitcase for the Conclave and expected to quickly return to Venice.
Also, catholic dissenters quote from a Cardinal Tisserant letter in 1977 which claims that the election of John XXIII was illegitimate as it was willed and planned by forces alien to the Holy Spirit. This is coming from Tisserant, who other sources peg as the eminence gris against Cardinal Siri’s election AND who negotiated the Vatican Kremlin secret concordat in 1962 (negotiated by Vatican envoy Cardinal Tisserant). These contradictory claims call into credence either the coup claim or later laments of illegitimacy.
Most of the radical traditional condemnations of Pope John XXIII’s reign attribute elements of change in practice (but not in doctrine) which they can not reconcile. The outreach to the Jews and the Orthodox seem anathematic to people who believe in Catholic supremacy. These radical traditionals would bristle at altering a jot or tittle of Pope St. Pius V’s one true Tridentine Missal from 1570 and would scoff at the People of God worshiping in the vernacular as they should be saying Mass in the Lord’s language of Latin (sic).
Delving deeper into research to find sources that did not seem shaky, I found other interesting angles on the Siri Thesis. As for the 1963 Conclave, there were charges that Cardinal Tisserant left the Conclave after Cardinal Siri was elected (again) to speak with members of B’nai B’rith (characterized elsewhere as a Jewish Lodge). The B’nai B’rith representative announced that persecutions of the Church would begin at once if Siri became Pope. "Jewish" Cardinal Augustine Bea, SJ is alleged to have dug up dirt on other Cardinals to blackmail them to support Cardinal Montoni . As the story goes, this news caused the Conclave to then elect Archbishop of Milan as Pope Paul VI. This source does not slander Pope Paul VI as a free mason or a socialist as do other detractors.
This source cites conversations in 1985 with Cardinal Siri in which Siri denied knowing of anyone leaving the Conclave in 1963. Yet Siri intimates that he was twice elected Pope, in 1963 which he refused and for the second 1978 Conclave, which Siri supposedly was obliged to refuse to prevent a schism. Thus the source claims that Pope Paul VI and Pope St. John Paul II were anti-popes. If we choose to believe former Jesuit novelist and biblical scholar Malachi Martin, Cardinal Siri was also elected in the first 1978 Conclave. Conservative Catholics claim that Siri was elected at four conclaves but never actually assumed the Chair of St. Peter.
This sort of claim is curious. Pro arguendo, taking Cardinal Siri’s alleged claims at face value, then what happened to his 1958 election? Cardinal Siri supposedly did not care for Pope John XXIII and despised Pope Paul VI, yet he referred to them as pontiffs. Surely a conservative Cardinal could have applied Canon Law and either disputed their elections or he could have resigned so as not to be obliged to serve under anti-popes. Yet Cardinal Siri remained as Archbishop of Genoa until 1987.
One qualm about Pope John XXIII which does not fit into the convenient correlation category concerns the suppression of the Third Secret of Fatima. St. Padre Pio was perturbed that Pope John XIII did not release the Third Secret of Fatima as the Madonna requested in 1960. So in 1963, Padre Pio proclaimed that the Secret was a chastisement that compromise with Communists would allow the devil to infiltrate the Church.
So Padre Pio essentially charged Pope John XXIII with disobedience to the Madonna. Had the Secret of Fatima been revealed, it is thought that the Catholic Faithful would not have countenanced a concordat between the Vatican and the Kremlin which kept Vatican II documents from expressly condemning communism in return.
There may have been some tension between the two Saints. Pope John XXIII expressed his private disdain for St. Padre Pio as a straw man. Yet Pope Paul VI, another supposed fellow traveler like Pope John XXIII on the Modernist/Free Mason highway to Hell, brought Padre Pio back into good graces with the Vatican. It would seem that these anti-popes do not coordinate well.
Reading plethora of scant sources of radical traditionalists on the matter, it seems that they will seize upon anything to confirm their suspicions against Modernism, Free Masonry, Internationalism (the New World Order) and even more sinister conspiracies. The sketchy sourcing calls into question their conclusions, but their contention is that Free Masons also control messaging in the Church and secular sources would not contradict their corrupted Church conspirators.
I found several striking leitmotifs in the radical traditionalist critique of “The Good Pope John”. That very moniker originates from the world-wide affection for the portly pontiff, who was able to be companions to those on the margins. No where in their literature was any good perceived from (anti) Pope John XXIII’s reign. Perhaps this should not be a great surprise as most of them condemn all Popes from 1958 onward to be anti-popes.
It is hard to miss the strands of antisemitism mixed into these Sede Vacante and Sede Impeditist conspiracy theories. The 1963 Conclave smear against B’nai B’rith is classic. Pope John XXIII wanted to improve relations with our Jewish brethren. Pope John XXIII sought a relationship of mutual respect and mutual understanding with "the relatives of Jesus". Thus, Pope John XXIII referred to himself as “A son of Joseph” which leads some radical traditionalists to speculate if Pope John XXIII was a Jewish infiltrator who ascended to the pinnacle of the hierarchy. So not only do radical traditionalist claim that Pope John XXIII was a free mason, a socialist but also a Jewish infiltrator. It seems that such critics will smear at any cost.
Another interesting aspect was the reliance that these radical traditional sources had on prophecies and how little focus on scripture. Their interpretations of events were influenced by the Prophecies of Malachy (a twelfth century saint, but whose prophecies gained circulation four hundred years later), the secret of Our Lady of La Salette (1846) and linkage with the secret from Our Lady of Fatima (1917). These prophecies of apostasy seem to contradict scripture from the Petrine primacy (Mt 16:18), the promise that Christ will remain with us from age to age (Mt. 28:20) and long held understandings of the Magisterium. So radical traditionalists would seek prophetic voices over scriptural assurances that the Vicar of Christ will not lead his flock astray or abandon us.
After reading many radical traditional assessments of the Siri Thesis and conspiracies about (anti) Pope John XXIII sound like the fare common on Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM, which Malachi Martin was a frequent guest. These challenges to Pope John XXIII parallel conservative critiques and rejection of Vatican II longing for the days of glory epitomized in the Tridentine Mass. So questioning the authenticity of Pope John XXIII’s election by the College of Cardinals conveniently vitiate any innovations of the Council and their successors without thinking themselves as schismatic.
The shifting narratives of the Siri Thesis (if one believes various sources, being elected but impeded in 1958, 1963 and twice in 1978) along with the ad hominem attacks on Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II sound more like sour grapes than serious charges.
In the end, the Sede Impeditists arguments underwhelm me and do not shake my faith about the canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. Ion Mikail Papeca, the Romanian Intelligence chief who defected to the west, makes a compelling case in Disinformation that the Soviets had engaged in prolonged media campaigns to discredit the Vatican, such as the smear that Pope Pius XII was “Hitler’s Pope” despite scores of contemporary evidence to the contrary. Moreover, there are several instances where Soviet directed agents tried to assassinate Pope John Paul II, almost succeeding in May of 1981. So Spies in the Vatican is not implausible. But these Soviet double agents are melded with a cabal of free masons and modernists, which sounds paranoid and merits skepticism unless substantive corroboration is proffered.
Understand that radical traditionalists object to the “aggornamento” (updating) which the Second Vatican Council brought to the Catholic Church which shifted control of the Vatican from a clubby curia and failed to treat the Church like a museum. Hence, attacking the Shepherd to takes them to that place discredits him while driving home their traditionalist message.
The period of time during Pope John XXIII's reign was a time when conspiracies thrived. Fifty years after the assassination, there have been scores of books about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. So it should be no surprise that during such turbulent times of change and the Cold War that people want to explain the unclear, like the false puffs of white smoke in the 1958 Conclave and fill in the blanks with prejudices and conspiracy theories.
It would behoove believers to examine the heroic virtues of Pope St. John XXIII rather than delve into Sede Impeditist and Sede Vacante fever swamps. Or as Pope St. John XXIII put it: "The habit of thinking ill of everything and everyone is tiresome to our selves and to all around us." | 2019-04-18T21:33:55 | https://dc-lausdeo.blogspot.com/2014/04/ |

In 1984, I was a second-grader in love with the Denver Broncos. My dad taught me to read win-loss columns, and Monday mornings after Sunday games I’d devour the sports page. At the time, the Broncos had a baby-faced, barefoot kicker named Rich Karlis.
Late in a game against the Seahawks, Karlis missed a game-winning field goal when he banged the kick off an upright. Karlis missed kicks off uprights two weeks in a row, and Rocky Mountain News cartoonist Drew Litton drew what he calls “a fork with multiple uprights.” It was one of his early sports cartoons. “If you didn’t see it, someone was going to tell you about it,” Litton says in this 2007 interview. “It solidified my role here at the News. And probably allowed me to keep my job.” Litton’s “Win, Lose and Drew” features even evolved into some animated shorts. The Rocky’s owner, the E.W. Scripps Company, turned the paper from a place that employed one of the world’s best sports cartoonists to a paper that employs nobody.
Drew Litton was just one of the many unique creatives who found a niche at the news. So, as we bid farewell to the Rocky, it’s good to know that Drew’s still plying his craft on his own WordPress site. His art is telling great stories and making fun statements, mocking Jay Cutler, the Yankee payroll and spring training. So stick with it, Drew. You helped me learn to love storytelling. Don’t let the cartoons stop just because the presses have.
News in the paper is as sad as news about the paper. In 2008, American newspapers cut 15,554 jobs, according to a tally kept by St. Louis Post-Dispatch graphic designer Erica Smith on her “Paper Cuts” blog. Smith tallies more than 2,000 cuts already in 2009. Smith’s effort opened Robert Hodierne’s essay in the American Journalism Review about how journalists are finding work outside the newsroom in PR, liquor stores and even yoga.
This morning, the front page of my local paper featured a story about painful local layoffs, an LA Times piece about the deepening recession, and a feature about a mother-son funeral. The only psuedo-bright spot? A piece about Rep. Peter Defazio, D-Ore., blasting the stimulus package as too heavy with tax cuts.
We’re riding a broadband connection to hell. Or not.
Maybe these are just unusually difficult growing pains, a sort of economic adolescence, as technology reshapes the way journalists tell stories. The sooner newspapers adopt new models, the better. Case in point? Slate Magazine. The online pub, owned by the Washington Post, has always been edgy. But now, as the New York Observer reports, Slate editor David Plotz will, one at a time, give staffers four to six weeks to leave the office and turn out a long-form feature, possibly with multimedia components for the web.
So, while the old-school papers are slicing jobs and whining their way into what they depict as a web-only oblivion, Slate, a web-only pub from its start, is sending journalists out to tell long, important stories in new ways. Maybe there’s a bright spot after all. Maybe not all the news about the news is as sad what’s in the paper.
Having trouble with Dell customer service? You are not alone. I had a problem last month, and when Dell customer care failed miserably over the course of three hours, I turned to the company’s employee blogs. After an exasperating few days, I remained cordial despite being treated in an outrageous manner. In the end, I was rewarded with a $75 gift credit from an employee in the states who cared about keeping my business with Dell Online. The company just settled a lawsuit over customer complaints. Here’s how to get Dell’s attention without a lawyer.
1) Visit Dell’s employee blogs. AND COMMENT ON THEM. A LOT.
2) Make a list of the bloggers’ e-mails.
3) Compose a friendly message. Keep it cordial. Remember, the objective is to resolve your issue. The more you thank these people and let them know how much you appreciate their time, the more successful you will be. Dell’s not a company in good shape. Its stock is falling. Its service is so awful it lost a class action suit. Let these people try to keep your business and maybe avoid being laid off.
4) Send your message to as many Dell employees as possible. And just maybe somebody’ll get back to ya’.
Divya Pradyumnan: 1-800-624-9897, Ext. 7283898, divya_pradyumnan@dell.com; Kapil Gupta, kapil_gupta@dell.com.
Stay friendly, and Dell might just give you a free $75. It’s the least they can do for your trouble. | 2019-04-26T08:38:27 | https://zackbarnett.com/page/2/ |

Can I use the API to remove an avatar URL?
When I try to remove an avatar URL with the API, it ends up being the URL of the Canvas instance instead. Is there a way to remove the URL?
Upon further inspection, it appears the simple answer to your question "Is it possible through the API" is No.
Now that we know the solution isn't a simple typo, I looked at what was happening.
I'm able to duplicate the same behavior through the Advanced REST Client in Chrome, so it's not a cURL issue. If I send it with a blank value, it comes back with the main URL of the Canvas instance.
This happens with either application/x-www-form-urlencoded or application/json encoding, so it's not an encoding issue.
When I first pulled up a student who had no Avatar, they still had an avatar URL that pointed to a generic user Avatar. I was able to set it back to that, but not to a blank value.
I'd call that a bug, but I don't get to make those calls. Deleting an entry and setting it to an empty or null value are not the same thing.
Even inside Canvas, there are no Avatar management features that I can find. I can upload another one, but there aren't options to select a previously uploaded file or to delete files you've uploaded.
When you click the "Remove avatar picture" from the User Accounts page, it doesn't use the API. It uses an AJAX call with a PUT directive, but the location it's calling isn't through the API, it's under /images/users/4696 (the 4696 being the Canvas user Id). The payload it sends is avatar[state]=none, However, it also sends an authenticity_token and a page_view_id, which is presumably used to generate the authenticity_token.
I tried reusing a page_view_id and authenticity_code to remove another avatar and it did not work, so it appears that there is some security in place to make sure that people don't maliciously delete people's avatar images.
By the way, when I deleted my profile, it reset it to the default avatar-50.png user one.
But it looks like it is not possible through the API in its current form. You could make a feature request for it to allow for deleting the Avatar or call it a bug that it detects an empty string as a relative path.
Joshua, I'm not sure about the answer to your question (you lost me after the second sentence), but I'm going to share this with the Canvas Developers group to see if they can help.
I understood that the Avatar URL should be present if you have Avatar's enabled, but that it pointed to a default Avatar for each instance that is returned when there isn't one supplied. I even wrote a script that displayed a photo roster based on that avatar_url being there.
However, that being said, the default shouldn't be the instance of your organization. So, one of two things comes to mind. Either your default Avatar URL is set to your institutions Canvas instance (unlikely, but I won't rule it out) or the CURL command you're using is setting it to that.
When I look at the commands you posted, I noticed that there is nothing after the = except a space. That might be the issue. Have you tried using ="" (double empty quotes) to actually give the field a value? In the code below, you have line 1 and I'm suggesting line 2.
I haven't verified this, but that's where I'd start.
Using empty quotes gives the same result - avatar_url ends up being https://ucmerced.test.instructure.com.
But if I use "http://", then I get exactly that. Seems like the logic is "prepend my URL to the value unless it starts with http(s)://". Which leaves no way to set it back to empty.
Thanks! Looks like for now, I'll be using /images/messages/avatar-50.png for profiles that don't or should not have an avatar. | 2019-04-21T11:27:37 | https://community.canvaslms.com/thread/7301-can-i-use-the-api-to-remove-an-avatar-url |
Yes this would be a great feature, a discount sub-total at the grand total base of the invoice if applicable. Having a discount column on the invoice when only a small group of customers actually receive any discount is not beneficial to show zero to the others.
i totally support this request. can this be implemented please?

Some papers are in the review pipeline for longer than they ought to be and the travel-part of conference attendance is a good opportunity to read books. So, instead of writing more about research, here’s a blogpost with a book review instead, being Sorry, not sorry—Experiences of a brown woman in a white South Africa by South African journalist Haji Mohamed Dawjee. It’s one of those books I bought out of curiosity, as the main title intrigued me on two aspects. First, it contradicts—if you’re not sorry, then don’t apologise for not doing so. Second, the subtitle, as it can be useful to read what people who don’t get much media coverage have to say. It turned out to have been published only last month, so let me break with the usual pattern and write a review now rather than wait until the usual January installments.
The book contains 20 essays of Dawjee’s experiences broadly and with many specific events, and reflections thereof, on growing up and working in South Africa. Depending on your background, you’ll find more or less recognisable points in it, or perhaps none at all and you’ll just eat the whole spiced dish served, but if you’re a woke South African white or think of yourself as a do-gooder white, you probably won’t like certain sections of it. As it is not my intention to write a very long review, I’ve picked a few essays to comment on, but there’s no clear single favourite among the essays. There are two essays that I think the book could have done without, but well, I suppose the author is asserting something with it that has something to do with the first essay and that I’m just missing the point. That first essay is entitled ‘We don’t really write what we like’ and relates back to Biko’s statement and essay collection I write what I like, not the Writing what we like essay collection of 2016. It describes the media landscape, the difficulties of people of colour to get published, and that their articles are always expected to have some relevance and insight—“having to be on the frontlines of critical thinking”—rather than some drivel that white guys can get away with, as “We too have nice experiences. We think about things and dream and have magic in us. We have fuzzy fables to share.”. Dawjee doesn’t consider such airy fairy stories by the white guys to be brave, but exhibiting opportunity an privilege, and she wants to have that opportunity and privilege, too. This book, however, is mainly of the not-drivel and making-a-point sort of writing rather than flowery language devoid of a message.
For instance, what it was like from the journalism side when Mandela died, and the magazine she was working for changing her story describing a successful black guy into one “more Tsotsi-like”, because “[t]he obvious reason for the editorial manipulation was that no-one wanted a story of a good black kid. Only white kids are intrinsically exceptional.” (discussed in the essay ‘The curious case of the old white architect’). Several essays describe unpleasant behind-the-scenes experiences in journalism, such as at YOU magazine, and provide a context to her article Maid in South Africa that had as blurb “White people can walk their dogs, but not their children”, which apparently had turned out to cause a shitstorm on social media. There was an opinion-piece response by one of Dawjee’s colleagues, “coming to my ‘rescue’” and who “needed to whitesplain my thoughts and sanitise them with her ‘wokeness’” (p190). It’s a prelude to finishing off with a high note (more about that further below), and illustrates one of the recurring topics—the major irritation with the do-gooders, woke whites, the ones who put themselves in the ‘good whites’ box and ‘liberal left’, but who nonetheless still contribute to systemic racism. This relates to Biko’s essay on the problems with white liberals and similar essays in his I write what I like, there described as category, and in Dawjee’s book illustrated with multiple examples.
In an essay quite different in style, ‘Why I’m down with Downtown Abbey’ (the TV series), Dawjee revels in the joys of seeing white servants doing the scurrying around, cooking, cleaning etc for the rich. On the one hand, knowing a little of South African society by now, understandable. On the other hand, it leaves me wondering just how much messed up the media is that people here still (this is not the first or second time I came across this topic) seem to think that up in Europe most or all families also have maids and gardeners. They don’t. As one Irish placard had put it, “clean up your own shite” is the standard, as is DIY gardening and cooking. Those chores, or joys, are done by the women, children, and men of the nuclear family, not hired helps.
Related to that latter point—who’s doing the chores—two essays have to do with feminism and Islam. The essay title ‘And how the women of Islam did slay’ speaks for itself. And, yes, as Dawjee says, it cannot be repeated often enough that there were strong, successful, and intelligent women at the bedrock of Islam and women actually do have rights (unlike under Christianity); in case you want some references on women’s rights under Islam, have a look at the essay I wrote a while a go about it. ‘My mother, the true radical’ touches upon notions of feminism and who gets to decide who is feminist when and in what way.
I do not quite agree with Dawjee’s conclusion drawn from her Tinder experiences in ‘Tinder is a pocket full of rejection, in two parts’. On p129 she writes “Tinder in South Africa is nothing but fertile ground for race-based rejection.”. If it were a straightforward case of just race-based swiping, then, statistically, I should have had lots of matches with SA white guys, as I surely look white with my pale skin, blue eyes, and dark blonde hair (that I ended up in the 0.6% ‘other’ box in the SA census in 2011 is a separate story). But, nada. In my 1.5 years of Tinder experiment in Cape Town, I never ever got a match with a white guy from SA either, but plenty of matches with blacks, broad and narrow. I still hypothesise that the lack of matches with the white guys is because I list my employer, which scares away men who do not like women who’ve enjoyed some higher education, as it has scared away countless men in several other countries as well. Having educated oneself out of the marriage market, it is also called. There’s a realistic chance that a majority of those South African whites that swiped left on Dawjee are racist, but, sadly, their distorted views on humanity include insecurities on more than one front, and I’m willing to bet that Dawjee having an honours degree under her belt will have contributed to it. That said, two anecdotes doesn’t make data, and an OKCupid-type of analysis like Rudder’s Dataclysm (review) but then of Tinder data would be interesting so as to get to the bottom of that.
The two, imho, skippable essays are “Joining a cult is a terrible idea” (duh) and “Depression: A journal”. I’m not into too personal revelations, and would have preferred a general analysis on how society deals, or not, with mental illness, or, if something more concrete, to relate it to, say, the Life Esidimeni case from whichever angle.
Meandering around through the various serious subtopics and digressions, as a whole, the essays combine into chronicling the road taken by Dawjee to decolonise her mind, culminating in a fine series of statements in the last part of the last essay. She is not sorry for refusing to be a doormat, saying so, and the consequences that that will have for those who perpetuate and benefit from systemic racism, and she now lives from a position of strength rather than struggling and doubting as a receiver of it.
Overall, it was an interesting book and worthwhile to have read. The writing style is very accessible, so one can read the whole book in a day or so. In case you are still unsure whether you want to read it or not: there are free book extracts of ‘We don’t really write what we like’, ‘Begging to be white?’, and ‘And how the women of Islam did slay’ and, at the time of writing this blog post, one written review on News24 and Eusebius McKaiser’s Radio 702 interview with Dawjee (both also positive about the book).
There are several local and regional conferences in (Sub-Saharan) Africa with a focus on Africa in one way or another, be it for, say, computer science and information systems in (mainly) South Africa, computer networks in Africa, or for (computer) engineers. The IST-Africa series covers a broad set of topics and papers must explicitly state how and where all that research output is good for within an African context, hence, with a considerable proportion of the scope within the ICT for Development sphere. I had heard from colleagues it was a good networking opportunity, one of my students had obtained some publishable results during her CS honours project that could be whipped into paper-shape , I hadn’t been to Botswana before, and I’m on sabbatical so have some time. To make a long story short: the conference just finished, and I’ll write a bit about the experiences in the remainder of this post.
Obstacles to eLearning in, say, Tanzania: internet access (40% only), lack of support, lack of local digital content, and too few data-driven analyses of experiments .
Digital content for healthcare students and practitioners in WikiTropica , which has the ‘usual’ problems of low resource needs (e.g., a textbook with lots of pictures but has to work on the mobile phone or tablet nonetheless), the last mile, and language. Also: the question of how to get people to participate to develop such resources? That’s still an open question; students of my colleague Hussein Suleman have been trying to figure out how to motivate them. As to the 24 responses by participants to the question “…Which incentive do you need?” the results were: 7 money/devices, 7 recognition, 4 none, 4 humanity/care/usefulness, 1 share & learn, and 1 not sure (my encoding).
With respect to practices and attitudes toward information sharing, the answers were not quite encouraging (see thumbnails). Of course, all this is but a snapshot, but still.
The workshop on geospatial sciences & land administration had a paper on building a national database infrastructure that wasn’t free of challenges, among others: buying data is costly, available data but no metadata, privacy issues, data collected and cant ask for consent again for repurposing of that data (p16) .
How to overcome the (perceived to be the main) hurdle of lack of trust in electronic voting in Kenya . In Thiga’s case, they let the students help coding the voting software and kept things ‘offline’ with a local network in the voting room and the server in sight . There were lively comments in the whole session on voting (session 8c), including privacy issues, auditability, whether blockchain could help (yes on auditability and also anonymity, but consumes a lot of [too much?] electricity, according to a Namibian delegate also in attendance), and scaling up to the population or not (probably not for a while, due to digital literacy and access issues, in addition to the trust issue). The research and experiments continue.
Headaches of data integration in Buffalo City to get the water billing information system working properly . There are the usual culprits in system integration from the information systems viewpoint (e.g., no buy-in by top management or users) that were held against the case in the city (cf. the CS side of the equation, like noisy data, gaps, vocabulary alignment etc.). Upon further inquiry, specific issues came to the surface, like not reading the water meters for several years and having been paying some guesstimate all the while, and issues that have to do with interaction between paying water (one system) and electricity (another system) cause problems for customers also when they have paid, among others . A framework was proposed, but that hasn’t solved the actual data integration problem.
There were five parallel sessions over the three days (programme), so there are many papers to check out still.
As to networking with people in Africa, it was good especially to meet African ontologists and semantic web enthusiasts, and learn of the Botswana National Productivity Centre (a spellchecker might help, though needing a bit more research for seTswana then), and completely unrelated ending up bringing up the software-based clicker system we developed a few years ago (and still works). The sessions were well-attended—most of us having seen monkeys and beautiful sunsets, done game drives and such—and for many it was a unique opportunity, ranging from lucky postgrads with some funding to professors from the various institutions. A quick scan through the participants list showed that relatively many participants are affiliated with institutions from South Africa, Botswana, Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda, but also a few from Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Angola, and Malawi, among others, and a few from outside Africa, such as the USA, Finland, Canada, and Germany. There was also a representative from the EU’s DEVCO and from GEANT (the one behind Eduroam). Last, but not least, not only the Minister of Transport and Communication, Onkokame Kitso, was present at the conference’s opening ceremony, but also the brand new—39 days and counting—President of Botswana, Mokgweetsi Masisi.
No doubt there will be a 14th installment of the conference next year. The paper deadline tends to be in December and extended into January.

(Bloomberg) -- Macquarie Group Ltd.’s investing division agreed to buy a U.S. business with $12.3 billion in assets from Foresters Financial, which is seeking to focus on life insurance.
Foresters is also selling its U.S. broker-dealer including 40 branch offices to Cetera Financial Group, the Toronto-based company said Tuesday in a statement. Foresters said the transactions are expected to be completed by year-end. Terms weren’t disclosed, and Cetera will be adding about 500 financial advisers.
Macquarie Investment Management, which oversaw $234.5 billion including the Delaware Funds at the end of 2018, will gain the First Investors mutual funds business. The money manager owned by Sydney-based Macquarie Group will also oversee part of the Foresters general account, the investments that back policyholder funds. It is among firms such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and BlackRock Inc. increasingly courting insurers as clientele.
The asset-management industry is reshaping itself with deals, including Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co.’s agreement last year to sell OppenheimerFunds to Invesco Ltd. Rival insurer MetLife Inc. added $37 billion in assets when it bought Logan Circle Partners in 2017.
Cetera is expanding after selling a stake to private equity firm Genstar Capital last year for $1.7 billion, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg in July. Cetera will keep a distribution relationship with Foresters, according to the press release. | 2019-04-20T09:02:27 | https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/macquarie-to-acquire-12-billion-asset-manager-from-foresters |
Sometimes, you might want to flag the extreme values after sorting a data set.
For example, you might want to find the least expensive product after sorting a product list by price.
Or you might want to find the most powerful car after sorting the data set by horsepower.
You can do so by using a common SAS programming technique demonstrated below.
Since the data set is small, you can easily identify the cheapest house in each region.
For example, House 3 is the cheapest house in Region A and it is selling for $430,000.
However, when you have a larger data set, say, 100 observations, identifying the lowest values wouldn't be as easy, if not impossible.
Instead, you can use a special technique that systematically identifies the lowest house price in each region.
The code systematically flags the house with the lowest price in each region.
When (i=1), the observation is the house that has the cheapest price in the region.
1. The code first sort the data by REGION and PRICE.
Within each region, the house price is sorted in ascending order.
2. It then creates a new variable "i" that flags the first observation from each region.
Within each region, the first observation is flagged.
The variable i correctly flags the cheapest house in each neighborhood.
Similarly, you can flag the house that has the highest selling price by flagging the last observation from each region.
The variable "i" again correctly flags the house with the highest selling price.
Data set must be first sorted by the grouping variable(s) and the result variable(s).
Grouping variable(s) is the variable that defines the groups in the data set.
In our example, the grouping variable is REGION.
Result variable(s) is the variable that determines the order within the grouping variable(s).
In our example, the result variable is PRICE.
The data step must include a BY statement with the grouping variable(s) and the result variable(s).
In our example, the data step includes a BY statement with REGION and PRICE.
Note: the BY statement is crucial when using this technique. Without the BY statement, this technique wouldn't work.
Use the IF.GROUP condition to identify the first and last observation within the grouping variable (i.e. REGION).
This tells SAS to flag the observation (i.e. i=1) if it is the very first observation from each region.
This tells SAS to flag the observation (i.e. i=2) if it is the last observation from each region.
As a result, all of the observations with extreme values (highest and lowest price) are flagged.
Note: use this technique with caution and make sure your code meets all 3 requirements stated above.
Create a new data set that contains only the heaviest fish from each species. | 2019-04-21T14:07:17 | https://www.sascrunchtraining.com/data-manipulation-14-temp.html |

Peanuts is our gorgeously cute puppy. He’s so much fun and loves playing with children especially if he can join in with a game of ball – his favourite game. Here he is asleep, having spent all afternoon running around the garden, chasing his friend’s ball. Boys and girls alike will love him as they crawl into the bed – careful not to wake him!
Our bed linen washes well and because it’s easy care there is no need to iron it – and it will still look good.
Tuck n’ Snug is a new concept in children’s ‘stay-on’ bedding. It looks like any other bedding set but fabric flaps secure the duvet cover and pillowcase to the mattress; stopping the bedding from slipping off the bed during the night. There are no zips, no buttons, no Velcro. Kids can climb in and out to go to the loo. There’s plenty of wriggle room so children feel unrestricted and comfortable plus they stay cosy and warm all night long. Tuck n’ Snug’s embroidered range features our loveable character motif Peanuts the Puppy. He is embroidered in a 90 percent dark grey thread with splashes of striking turquoise and a hot pink on his paws. The tip of his tail is a bright lime green colour – all of which adds just the right colour combination for a striking effect. Just next to him is a ball, similarly outlined in a dark grey embroidery. Our embroidery thread meets the highest specification ensuring durability and no colour run in a warm wash.
The base of the material is a crisp white which provides flexibility to fit with most colour schemes in a child’s bedroom. The cloth is a high quality 180 thread count 50% cotton and 50% polyester percale making it feel super soft and cosy. It can be washed time and time again and will still look good. Tuck n’ Snug’s cot bed / toddler bed duvet cover set will fit a UK standard toddler bed duvet and toddler pillow. At Tuck n’ Snug we strive to maintain the highest standards. Our products are manufactured in Britain ensuring the highest standards of British manufacturing.
How can Tuck n’ Snug help children get a good night’s sleep? | 2019-04-22T05:57:43 | https://www.tucknsnug.co.uk/stay-on-bedding/tuck-n-snug-toddler-duvet-cover-and-pillowcase-set-3/ |
Xiomara Castro began her presidential campaign in Honduras last Sunday, almost four years after husband and ex-President Manuel Zelaya was roused from his sleep and flown out of the Central American country in pajamas during a military coup.
Representing the Liberty and Reestablishment Party, known as Libre, Castro opened her campaign for November’s election with a speech that outlined plans to demilitarize the country, promote foreign and private investment, and create a constituent assembly to modify the constitution. Castro, 53, leads polls with 28 percent support, according to CID-Gallup, which surveyed 1,233 potential voters from May 2 to 8 and has a margin of error of five percentage points.
Castro’s plans to create a constituent assembly echo those of Zelaya, who sat behind his wife in his trademark white stetson cowboy hat at Sunday’s campaign opening in Tegucigalpa. During the final year of his presidency, Zelaya’s attempt to hold a referendum to form a constituent assembly led to his ouster by the armed forces on June 28, 2009, as some government officials presumed that he aimed to modify presidential term limitations to remain in power.
Clad in the red and black colors of the Libre party, Castro also criticized rises in crime and impunity during the current government of President Porfirio Lobo. Honduras has one of the world’s highest homicide rates, with 86 of every 100,000 citizens suffering a violent death in 2012, according to the Violence Observatory at Honduras’s National Autonomous University.
Honduras’s presidential elections will be held Nov. 24. | 2019-04-26T06:45:59 | https://ticotimes.net/2013/06/19/deposed-president-s-wife-leads-polls-as-honduras-campaigns-begin |
Who is the IMcb for?
The Intelligent Mail Container barcode provides visibility at the mail aggregate level. It is used on mailer-generated pallet labels to uniquely identify pallets and similar containers (i.e. All Purpose Containers, hampers, pallet boxes, etc.) in addition to identifying the mail owner and, it provides a link between the electronic mailing record and the physical mail aggregate.
The IMcb uniquely identifies the mail owner, mail preparer, or consolidator by way of the Mailer ID field. Furthermore, the IMcb establishes a unique "serial number" for each container. These two features allow each container to be associated with a unique mailing and facilitate tracking of containers as they are loaded and unloaded from transportation.
The IMcb is printed on Mailer-generated pallet labels and is designed to be scanned at acceptance and at other points throughout the transportation and processing network. Other human-readable data elements, beyond the IM Container barcode, such as text identifying the mail owner, destination, and type of mail are also required on the container placard. Further information on the use of this barcode can be found in the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service®, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM 300).
Currently, the USPS® is recommending two form factors for the Container Label. View dimensioned layouts for the recommended placement of information on the 8" min. x11" format and the 4"x7" self-adhesive format. | 2019-04-18T20:32:09 | https://postalpro.usps.com/mailing/intelligent-mail-container-barcode |

It sounds a little crazy when you say “winter” in central Arizona. We don’t have mounds of snow or freezing rain, and we usually can get by most days without a coat. But if you have lived here for any length of time, you know that our temps can get down into the 40’s at night, and we have been known to even arrive in the 20’s on rare occasions. December and January can also bring most of our rainfall, though not this past year.
With those chilly, damp nights our bees can be in danger of dying from the cold, even if it doesn’t freeze. What happens is that the heat the bees are producing to maintain their ideal living conditions causes the heat and moisture to rise in the hive. It then hits the cold top and all the moisture condenses, kind of like a mini water cycle in our atmosphere. That condensed water then “rains” down into the hive making it a cold, wet environment that can kill your colony. It’s something that is often a sad surprise to new beekeepers, but can be prevented with proper hive management in the fall.
Start in September or October for a strong spring hive.

You may have millions of customers to whom you’ve been sending communications over daily emails to effectively market your products and services. You may be spending big money on making your email communications work and stand out for your customers.
Have you ever wondered, that your customers are also subscribed to your ‘Competitors’ and are constantly being approached with better prices and discounts?
Imagine if you could know exactly what your competitors are doing with their email campaign, when they shoot out their campaigns, how many are landing in the inbox, which campaigns are running successfully, which products are being offered at what discounts and why the others fell short?
Such deep insights would really benefit your own email marketing campaign, wouldn’t you agree?
The impact these insights can have on your email marketing revenue cannot be overstated, thereby, making it imperative for marketers to invest in Competitive Intelligence Applications (CIA) to drive email marketing optimization.
Marketers are already spending millions in sending bulk emails daily. Thus, it makes sense to invest in Competitive Intelligence Tools, so as to not miss out on optimization opportunities and be left behind by competitors.
Imagine if you had a tool that you could utilize to understand your email campaign inbox placement across different ISPs vis-à-vis your competitors, email sending frequency, segmentation strategies and its effect on inbox placement and open rates, use of offers & keywords, frequency in subject lines and the performance of your creatives vs competitors, in order to immediately understand various success metrics.
Your emails stand out against competitor’s, by attracting the customer’s attention in the inbox.
It tells which brands are also emailing your target audience and vying for their attention.
You can also get insights into the percentage of your email subscribers who also receive emails from your competitors.
Better yet, learn what is working for them!
Understand competitive approaches to triggers, welcomes, etc.
There’s no better way to beat your competitors in their own game than by knowing their game plan. Kenscio Digital enables its clients to gain competitive insights that keep them ahead! | 2019-04-23T06:05:15 | http://www.kenscio.com/blog/author/team-kenscio/ |
ISLAMABAD, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Pakistan Army said on Saturday it had built 233 forts along the border with Afghanistan as part of its border fencing plan to stop cross-border movement of militants.
Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan have long been saying that militants in both countries cross the border for violence and Pakistan started the fencing project last year.
According to the army, the project will be completed by December 2019.
Pakistani army spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor said that work on the forts and fences continued on the 2,600-km-long Pakistan-Afghan border.
The spokesman said on Twitter that work on 233 of 843 forts and 802 of 1,200 km prioritized areas has been completed.
The project will "benefit peaceful people of Pakistan and Afghanistan while restricting terrorists," he wrote on Twitter. | 2019-04-20T01:28:04 | http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-12/16/c_137677037.htm |
Pennsylvania Republicans on Tuesday called for some voting machines to be impounded because votes were allegedly cast on them before the polls officially opened.
Philadelphia Mayor John Street (search) told FOX News that those charges were false. And City Commissioner Marge Tartaglione, the official responsible for overseeing elections there, issued a statement.
A city investigation found that the numbers were from a device that counted how many votes had ever been recorded on the machine, not how many would be cast Tuesday.
The complaints in the key battleground's largest city were among the earliest lodged on Election Day.
In Mercer County, Commissioner Olivia Lazor said some voters were apparently having problems with new electronic voting machines that the rural western Pennsylvania county started using about two years ago. Voters apparently were voiding their votes by accident while trying to review them, and having to redo their ballots. The delays caused longer lines than normal.
Also in Philadelphia, the Republican City Committee (search) filed a lawsuit Tuesday asking a federal judge to give them more time to challenge absentee ballots cast by Democrats. The suit demands that the city turn over a list of every city resident who received an absentee ballot, and then delay counting any of their votes until at least Nov. 5 to give the GOP time to investigate whether any ballots were cast by ineligible people.
A lawyer for John Kerry's campaign in Pennsylvania said some people were prevented from voting when at least a dozen Allegheny County precincts ran out of provisional ballots. More ballots were sent to the precincts that ran out, and Kerry lawyer Clifford Levine suggested that people who were turned away this morning should try again after 5 p.m. The provisional ballots, which are cast when there are questions about whether a person is eligible to vote, won't be counted until three days after the election.

A 29-year-old Kailua-Kona man was swimming about 100 feet off shore shortly before 1 p.m. when he spotted a shark in waters off Kekaha Kai State Park, also known as Kona Coast State Park. As the man was swimming to shore, the shark bit him on the right thigh and right calf and then released him. The swimmer made it to shore, where a Fire Department helicopter took him to Kona Community Hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life threatening. | 2019-04-20T14:15:04 | https://www.hawaiipolice.com/shark-attack-06-18-13 |

Half of all people infected with the hepatitis B virus have no symptoms and may never realize that they have been infected. Adults are more likely to develop symptoms than children. For those who do get sick, symptoms usually develop within 1 to 4 months after exposure to the virus. The initial symptoms are often similar to the flu.

It has been estimated that chronic pain affects 1.5 billion people around the world. In U.S. alone the number is around 100 million. While there are no effective treatment options, there are ways to relieve the pain, some options being more effective that the others. Treatment options for chronic pain vary from over the counter meds to physical therapy, prescription drugs as well as surgery. Additionally there is also SCS which has shown good results in relieving pain.
It’s a reversible therapy that send electrical impulses along the spinal cord, masking the pain message that travels to the brain. The pain message is replaced with soothing, tingling sensation. SCS can be used for chronic pain in limbs, also pain associated with failed back surgery, low pack pain and so on. For more information where and how it can be used see www.ControlYourPain.com. And there’s also a new Precision Spectra SCS System available, system that has more contact points and more power sources than any SCS system below, making it more flexible and give physicians more choices to treat the pain.
What are the causes of chronic pain?
In the U.S. roughly 1/4 of the people suffer from chronic pain due to diabetes, another 1/4 due to heart disease and stroke, another 1/4 have frequent back pain and roughly 1/10 have due to cancer. However, for many patients, the chronic pain becomes a disease in its own right soon after.

Generally, kids with Cystic Fibrosis need more calories than other kids in their age group. The amount of additional calories they need will vary according to each child’s lung function, activity level, and illness.
A child’s caloric needs might be even higher during an illness (even a low-grade infection can greatly increase the calories required). A CF dietitian can help you determine how many calories your child needs each day, and track growth and weight gain over time in order to provide a good nutrition plan.
Essential fatty acids. Patients with cystic fibrosis have altered levels of plasma fatty acids. Found in plant oils, safflower oil, and soybean oils, they help in the building of cell membranes and may play a role in lung function. It is suggested that CF patients try to incorporate more omega 3 fatty acids into their diet, which can be done with either food sources or supplements. Salmon, flax seeds, and walnuts are excellent food sources of omega 3 fatty acids. Your CF dietician wll guide you with that.
Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K These vitamins are important for immune function, growth, and healing. They are absorbed along with fat. Most kids with CF have trouble digesting fat, they often have low levels of fat-soluble vitamins and need to take vitamin supplements.
Iron. Children with CF are at risk for developing iron-deficiency anemia, which can cause fatigue and poor resistance to infection. Fortified cereal, meats, dried fruits, and dark green vegetables are good sources of iron.
Salt. Kids with CF lose a lot of salt in their sweat, especially during hot weather and when they exercise. So a CF dietitian may suggest adding salt to an infant’s formula and giving an older child salty snacks. During hot weather and when your child plays sports, he may need sports drinks along.
If your child is a choosy eater, pay attention to the foods your child especially likes and adapt the menu as these preferences change. Ask an older child with CF to try one new food a week. It’s also important to model good behavior for kids of all ages. Eat a well-balanced diet with a variety of foods and make sure you try new things yourself.
Try to keep meals to about 20-30 minutes for toddlers and young kids, who can’t sit still for extended periods.
Don’t give huge portions that might seem irresistible.
Offer praise for eating well. Encourage kids to eat as much as they can comfortably.
Make foods as attractive and appealing as much as possible.
All childcare providers and teachers should know that your child has CF and be aware of his or her nutritional and caloric needs. Work with the staff to plan high-calorie meals and snacks or send food if the menu can’t accommodate your child’s needs. Young kids need help taking their enzymes and supplements, and the staff should understand that they need to be taken before all meals.
As kids with CF grow into teens, they’ll probably begin eating more meals away from home and may feel pressured to eat in certain ways. Work with your teen, emphasizing the positive and monitoring any weight changes that are of concern. If you’re packing lunch, include high-calorie options like ranch dressing and increasing Caloric Intake.
Make sure that kids with CF eat enough fat and calories. One way to increase calories without creating an entirely separate menu is to increase the calories and fat in one part of the meal.
Prepare meals with gravies and creamy sauces.
Add extra cheese to garnish potatoes or macaroni and cheese; order extra cheese on pizza.
Top salads and sandwiches with avocados.
When you’re shopping, be sure to compare the labels on similar prepared foods and purchase those that have higher fat and calorie content. Avoid diet foods — anything that claims to be nonfat, low fat, reduced calorie, or light/lite.
Look for whole-fat versions of dairy products such as sour cream, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Don’t forget to check baby food labels. You’d be surprised at how the caloric level varies between brands.
The CF dietitian or doctor will prescribe enzymes based on weight, growth, and how much a child eats at a time. An increased enzyme dose doesn’t necessarily mean that a child is doing poorly. It may mean that he or she has gained weight and now requires more enzymes.
Enzymes need to be taken with every meal and most snacks. They come in capsules, full of tiny beads, that can be broken open for kids who are too young to swallow entire capsules. They should only be mixed with foods that are acidic, like applesauce. They should not be chewed or crushed. Never change the dose of enzymes without first consulting your child’s dietitian or doctor.

When there is insufficient blood pressure to deliver blood to the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to the heart’s muscle), a person may develop chest pain or even a heart attack.
When insufficient blood is delivered to the kidneys, the kidneys fail to eliminate wastes from the body, for example, urea (BUN) and creatinine, and increases in their levels in the blood occur.
Is low blood pressure good or bad for your health?
People who have lower blood pressures have a lower risk of stroke,heart and kidney disease. Athletes, people who exercise regularly, people who maintain ideal body weight, and non-smokers tend to have lower blood pressures. Therefore, low blood pressure is advantageous as long as it is not low enough to cause symptoms and damage to the body organs.
Do you feel dizzy or light-headed when standing or sitting after lying down?
X-ray of the abdomen and chest.
Blood electrolyte measurements may show dehydration and mineral depletion, renal failure (kidney failure), or acidosis (excess acid in the blood).
Cortisol levels can be measured to diagnose Addison’s disease.
Ultrasound examinations of the leg veins and CT scans of the chest can detect deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Patient-activated event recorder. If the episodes of bradycardia or tachycardia are occasional, a 24-hour Holter recording may not capture these sporadic episodes. So a patient can wear a patient-activated event recorder for up to four weeks. The patient presses a button to start the recording when he or she senses the onset of an abnormal heart rhythm or symptoms possibly caused by low blood pressure. The doctor then analyzes the recordings at a later date to recognize the abnormal heart beats.
Echocardiograms are examinations of the structures of the heart using ultrasound. Echocardiograms can detect pericardial fluid, the extent of heart muscle damage from heart attacks, diseases of the heart valves.
Tilt-Table tests are used to evaluate patients having postural hypotension or syncope due to abnormal function of the autonomic nerves. During a tilt-table test, the patient lies on an examining table with an intravenous infusion administered while the heart rate and blood pressure are monitored. The table then is tilted upright for 15 minutes to 45 minutes. Heart rate and blood pressure are monitored every few minutes whether he develops postural hypotension or not.

This flu season you have the chance to help children in developing countries to get the much needed vaccine simply by getting a shot yourself. You can do this by getting a vaccine at Walgreen locations around the U.S., more specifically at any Walgreen pharmacy, Healthcare Clinic at select Walgreens and Duane Reade pharmacy in NY. Every shot you get will get one shot to children in developing countries. And so up to 3 million vaccines will be donated by Walgreens to United Nations Foundation’s Shot@Life Campaign.
The partnership between Walgreens and the Shot@Life movement is an international effort to give better access to much-needed health care services to children in countries who wouldn’t have access to it without it. The Shot@Life campaign also tries to create awareness of the need to make those vaccines available to parents around the globe and educate as well as empower Americans to advocate for decreasing childhood deaths through the use of vaccines. At this point, based on statistics, 1 in 5 children around the world lacks access to life-saving immunizations.
“With the growing need for life-saving vaccines such as polio and measles in developing countries, we’re proud to work with the UN Foundation on this important cause that provides access to vaccine for children in need, creates greater awareness and furthers our mission to help people get, stay and live well,” said Harry Leider, M.D., Walgreens chief medical officer.

Providence, the ninth track on Oxford band Foals’ third album ‘Holy Fire’, marks a key moment on the record. It’s a track that clearly harks back to their 2008 debut ‘Antidotes’, with obvious shades of lead single Cassius in its crunchy guitars and jerky rhythms. Equally it’s a track that shows how far the band have come over the last few years, with richer instrumentation and textures, their sound expanding considerably with each record as bigger stadium performances beckon.
Where ‘Antidotes’ and the Mercury nominated ‘Total Life Forever’ are (arguably) fairly single-minded in their overall mood, ‘Holy Fire’ is a more multi-faceted album. Inhaler was the first single released, roaring onto the airwaves in a blaze of awesome riffage. The heavier feel is something of a departure for the band, though it does retain and develop their propensity for funk grooves, particularly in the syncopated basslines. This continues with My Number: undoubtedly Foals’ most accessible track yet that will, deservedly, bring their music to a more mainstream audience. Similarly, rock ballad Bad Habit is an immediate hit with a sublime chorus. Later on the album comes Out Of The Woods, which has an almost Fleetwood Mac feel to it (Dreams especially), the autoharp and marimba adding a folky sense of ethereal mystery that’s a step on from Spanish Sahara on ‘Total Life Forever’. Furthermore, Spanish Sahara has provided the basis for much of the album, in particular with the slowly developing Milk & Black Spiders and Stepson. Rounding off the album is final track Moon that provides a meditative stillness juxtaposed with the preceding tracks, all guitar harmonics and evocative effects that shimmer with celestial serenity.
Unsurprisingly, album opener Prelude summarises this varied creativity – a largely instrumental track that rocks as much as it slowly blooms and unfurls. Yet through it all, ‘Holy Fire’ still sounds unmistakably like a Foals album. The band have distilled their sound and applied it to previously unexplored musical territory. This is a band willing to branch out, whilst remaining grounded in their own identity.
In between these obvious highlights, Foals settle into a midtempo groove. The remaining tracks are far from unaccomplished, but they lack the same personality and distinction. Part of this is to do with frontman Yannis Philippakis’s vocal often being lower in the mix than usual, overpowered by the guitars, and used predominantly as simply another line within the overall textures. No doubt a conscious decision, this works fine for a texture-focused track like Moon, but the likes of Everytime and Late Night lack the immediacy of the album’s better tracks and are diminished to filler.
Thankfully, the good far outweighs the not-so-good on ‘Holy Fire’. Foals have grown into one of the UK’s most preeminent rock bands and for good reason. ‘Holy Fire’ is an incredibly accomplished album that sees the band at the top of their game, an album that will appease old fans as well as draw in some new ones. Featuring some of the band’s best work to date (besides Spanish Sahara), this album proves that when Foals hit their peak the results are pretty damn special.
Listen: 'Holy Fire' is available now.
Watch: Foals are playing a series of sold out shows in March. | 2019-04-19T11:23:41 | http://www.thegizzlereview.com/2013/02/foals-holy-fire.html |

What is the Sunshine Law?
Florida’s Government-in-the-Sunshine law provides a right of access to governmental proceedings at both the state and local levels. It applies to any gathering of two or more members of the same board to discuss some matter which will foresee ably come before that board for action. There is also a constitutionally guaranteed right of access. Virtually all state and local collegial public bodies are covered by the open meetings requirements with the exception of the judiciary and the state Legislature which has its own constitutional provision relating to access.
What are the requirements of the Sunshine law?
The Sunshine law requires that 1) meetings of boards or commissions must be open to the public; 2) reasonable notice of such meetings must be given, and 3) minutes of the meeting must be taken.
What agencies are covered under the Sunshine Law?
The Government-in-the-Sunshine Law applies to “any board or commission of any state agency or authority or of any agency or authority of any county, municipal corporation or political subdivision.” Thus, it applies to public collegial bodies within the state at both the local as well as state level. It applies equally to elected or appointed boards or commissions.
Are federal agencies covered by the Sunshine Law?
Federal agencies operating in the state do not come under Florida’s Sunshine law.
Does the Sunshine Law apply to the Legislature?
Florida’s Constitution provides that meetings of the Legislature be open and noticed except those specifically exempted by the Legislature or specifically closed by the Constitution. Each house is responsible through its rules of procedures for interpreting, implementing and enforcing these provisions. Information on the rules governing openness in the Legislature can be obtained from the respective houses.
Does the Sunshine Law apply to members-elect?
Members-elect of public boards or commissions are covered by the Sunshine law immediately upon their election to public office.
What qualifies as a meeting?
The Sunshine law applies to all discussions or deliberations as well as the formal action taken by a board or commission. The law, in essence, is applicable to any gathering, whether formal or casual, of two or more members of the same board or commission to discuss some matter on which foreseeable action will be taken by the public board or commission. There is no requirement that a quorum be present for a meeting to be covered under the law.
Can a public agency hold closed meetings?
There are a limited number of exemptions which would allow a public agency to close a meeting. These include, but are not limited to, certain discussions with the board’s attorney over pending litigation and portions of collective bargaining sessions. In addition, specific portions of meetings of some agencies (usually state agencies) may be closed when those agencies are making probable cause determinations or considering confidential records.
Does the law require that a public meeting be audio taped?
There is no requirement under the Sunshine law that tape recordings be made by a public board or commission, but if they are made, they become public records.
Can a city restrict a citizen’s right to speak at a meeting?
Public agencies are allowed to adopt reasonable rules and regulations which ensure the orderly conduct of a public meeting and which require orderly behavior on the part of the public attending. This includes limiting the amount of time an individual can speak and, when a large number of people attend and wish to speak, requesting that a representative of each side of the issue speak rather than every one present.
As a private citizen, can I videotape a public meeting?
A public board may not prohibit a citizen from videotaping a public meeting through the use of nondisruptive video recording devices.
Can a board vote by secret ballot?
The Sunshine law requires that meetings of public boards or commissions be “open to the public at all times.” Thus, use of preassigned numbers, codes or secret ballots would violate the law.
Can two members of a public board attend social functions together?
Members of a public board are not prohibited under the Sunshine law from meeting together socially, provided that matters which may come before the board are not discussed at such gatherings.
The Florida Supreme Court has determined that public records are all materials made or received by an agency in connection with official business which are used to perpetuate, communicate or formalize knowledge. They are not limited to traditional written documents. Tapes, photographs, films and sound recordings are also considered public records subject to inspection unless a statutory exemption exists.
Can I request public documents over the telephone and do I have to tell why I want them?
Nothing in the public records law requires that a request for public records be in writing or in person, although individuals may wish to make their request in writing to ensure they have an accurate record of what they requested. Unless otherwise exempted, a custodian of public records must honor a request for records, whether it is made in person, over the telephone, or in writing, provided the required fees are paid. In addition, nothing in the law requires the requestor to disclose the reason for the request.
How much can an agency charge for public documents?
The law provides that the custodian shall furnish a copy of public records upon payment of the fee prescribed by law. If no fee is prescribed, an agency is normally allowed to charge up to 15 cents per one-sided copy for copies that are 14″ x 8 1/2″ or less. A charge of up to $1 per copy may be assessed for a certified copy of a public record. If the nature and volume of the records to be copied requires extensive use of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, the agency may charge a reasonable service charge based on the actual cost incurred.
Does an agency have to explain why it denies access to public records?
A custodian of a public record who contends that the record or part of a record is exempt from inspection must state the basis for that exemption, including the statutory citation. Additionally, when asked, the custodian must state in writing the reasons for concluding the record is exempt.
When does a document sent to a public agency become a public document?
As soon as a document is received by a public agency, it becomes a public record, unless there is a legislatively created exemption which makes it confidential and not subject to disclosure.
Are public employee personnel records considered public records?
The rule on personnel records is the same as for other public documents … unless the Legislature has specifically exempted an agency’s personnel records or authorized the agency to adopt rules limiting public access to the records, personnel records are open to public inspection. There are, however, numerous statutory exemptions that apply to personnel records.
Can an agency refuse to allow public records to be inspected or copied if requested to do so by the maker or sender of the documents?
No. To allow the maker or sender of documents to dictate the circumstances under which documents are deemed confidential would permit private parties instead of the Legislature to determine which public records are public and which are not.
Are arrest records public documents?
Arrest reports prepared by a law enforcement agency after the arrest of a subject are generally considered to be open for public inspection. At the same time, however, certain information such as the identity of a sexual battery victim is exempt.
Is an agency required to give out information from public records or produce public records in a particular form as requested by an individual?
The Sunshine Law provides for a right of access to inspect and copy existing public records. It does not mandate that the custodian give out information from the records nor does it mandate that an agency create new records to accommodate a request for information.
What agency can prosecute violators?
The local state attorney has the statutory authority to prosecute alleged criminal violations of the open meetings and public records law. Certain civil remedies are also available.
What is the difference between the Sunshine Amendment and the Sunshine Law?
How can I find out more about the open meetings and public records laws?
Probably the most comprehensive guide to understanding the requirements and exemptions to Florida’s open government laws is the Government-in-the-Sunshine manual compiled by the Attorney General’s Office. The manual is updated each year and is available for purchase through the First Amendment Foundation in Tallahassee. For information on obtaining a copy, contact the First Amendment Foundation at (850) 224-4555.

Stanley Karnow, the award-winning author and journalist who wrote a definitive book about the Vietnam War, worked on an accompanying documentary and later won a Pulitzer for a history of the Philippines, died Sunday morning. He was 87.
Karnow, who had congestive heart failure, died in his sleep at his home in Potomac, Md., said son Michael Karnow.
A Paris-based correspondent for Time magazine early in his career, Karnow was assigned in 1958 to Hong Kong as bureau chief for Southeast Asia and soon arrived in Vietnam, when the American presence was still confined to a small core of advisers. In 1959, Karnow reported on the first two American deaths in Vietnam, not suspecting that tens of thousands would follow.
Into the 1970s, Karnow would cover the war off and on for Time, The Washington Post and other publications and then draw upon his experience for an epic PBS documentary and for the million-selling “Vietnam: A History,” published in 1983 and widely regarded as an essential, even-handed summation.
Karnow’s “In Our Image,” a companion to a PBS documentary on the Philippines, won the Pulitzer in 1990. His other books included “Mao and China,” which in 1973 received a National Book Award nomination, and “Paris in The Fifties,” a memoir published in 1997.
A fellow Vietnam reporter, Morley Safer, would describe Karnow as the embodiment of “the wise old Asian hand.” Karnow was known for his precision and research—his Vietnam book reaches back to ancient times—and his willingness to see past his own beliefs. He was a critic of the Vietnam War (and a name on President Nixon’s enemies list) who still found cruelty and incompetence among the North Vietnamese. His friendship with Philippines leader Corazon Aquino did not stop him from criticizing her presidency.
A salesman’s son, Karnow was born in New York in 1925 and by high school was writing radio plays and editing the school’s paper, a job he also held at the Harvard Crimson. He first lived in Asia during World War II when he served throughout the region in the Army Air Corps. Back in the U.S., he majored in European history and literature at Harvard, from which he graduated in 1947.
He began sending dispatches to a Connecticut weekly, where the owner was a friend, and in 1950 was hired as a researcher at Time. Promoted to correspondent, he would cover strikes, race car driving and the beginning of the French conflict with Algeria, but also interviewed Audrey Hepburn (“a memorable if regrettably brief encounter”) fashion designer Christian Dior and director John Huston, who smoked cigars, knocked back Irish whiskies and rambled about the meaning of Humphrey Bogart. Friends and acquaintances included Norman Mailer, James Baldwin and John Kenneth Galbraith.
Karnow’s first book was the text for “Southeast Asia,” an illustrated Life World Library release published in 1962, before the U.S. committed ground troops to Vietnam. It was partly a Cold War time capsule, preoccupied with Communist influence, but was also skeptical enough of official policy to anticipate the fall of a key American ally, South Vietnamese president Ngo Dihn Diem, an event that helped lead to greater American involvement.
Like so many others, Karnow initially supported the war and believed in the “domino theory,” which asserted that if South Vietnam were to fall to communism its neighbors would too.
But by war’s end, Karnow agreed with the soldier asked by a reporter in 1968 what he thought of the conflict: “It stinks,” was the reply.
“There are not many carefully delineated judgments in the book. But that is more a comment than the criticism it might be, for Mr. Karnow does not claim to have reached a sweeping verdict on the war,” Douglas Pike, a former U.S. government official in Vietnam who became a leading authority on the war, wrote for The New York Times in a 1983 review.
The PBS series won six Emmys, a Peabody and a Polk and was the highest-rated documentary at the time for public television, with an average of 9.7 million viewers per episode. Along with much praise came criticism from the left and right. The liberal weekly The Nation faulted Karnow for “little analysis and much waffling.” Conservatives were so angered by the documentary that PBS agreed to let the right-wing Accuracy in Media air a rebuttal, “Television’s Vietnam: The Real Story,” which in turn was criticized as a show of weakness by PBS.
Karnow completed no books after “Paris in the Fifties.” He attempted a study of Asians in the U.S., which he abandoned; a history of Jewish humor that never advanced beyond an outline; and a second memoir, with such working titles as “Interesting Times” and “Out of Asia.” He also cared for his ailing wife, Annette, who died of cancer in 2009. A previous marriage, to Claude Sarraute (daughter of French novelist Nathalie Sarraute), ended in divorce in 1955. Karnow had three children.
He was often called on for speeches, panel discussions and television appearances and asked for his opinions on current affairs. One query came in 2009, through his old friend Richard Holbrooke, at the time the U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan. Holbrooke wanted advice on U.S. policy in Afghanistan and put Karnow on the phone with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander. Karnow and the general discussed similarities between the wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam. | 2019-04-24T15:07:03 | https://www.twincities.com/2013/01/27/karnow-vietnam-reporter-historian-dies-at-age-87/ |

Short reflections on lessons from my life experience.
This is one of the biggest life lessons I’ve learned about love and also about life. When I hit rock bottom a few years ago and felt like I absolutely could not go on and didn’t even want to, the only thing that kept me alive were the loving people around me. Had I not taken a full blown trust fall and accepted the communal caring of those who wanted to see me survive and thrive, I would not be present in this life as we speak. I’m quiet about my past sometimes because it’s a place I hope to never visit, but forget about how incredibly important it was for me to become vulnerable and transparent to the world about my feelings so that they could pass while I stayed present.
Do you feel this characteristic is part of you? Or do you feel this is another layer you have discovered separate from your inner self?
Take a moment to close your eyes and internalize this one.
