Many allergies and food intolerances today are from wheat and dairy products. This is because of the hybridized proteins of gluten and a1 casein. These proteins can lead to “leaky gut”, which in turn will cause inflammation of the thyroid and effect its function. If you can’t follow a grain-free diet, at least cut out gluten. Additionally, only consume dairy products that come from A2 cows, goat milk, or sheep milk. (2)
Like many people living with thyroid problems, you may wonder what the best thyroid diet to follow is. The truth is that the ideal diet for those who are living with a thyroid condition depends on personal needs and goals. If your goal is weight loss, you will want to optimize your blood sugar and leptin levels and eliminate toxins and allergens, among other things. If your goal is to support your thyroid health but not necessarily lose weight, there are some foods (such as goiter-producing vegetables and soy) that you may wish to minimize or avoid.
• Vitamin B12: Studies have shown that about 30% of people with ATD experience a vitamin B12 deficiency. Food sources of B12 include mollusks, sardines, salmon, organ meats such as liver, muscle meat, and dairy. Vegan sources include fortified cereals and nutritional yeast. Severe B12 deficiency can be irreversible, so it’s important for dietitians to suggest clients with thyroid disease have their levels tested.16
** Medications** - Some medications can contribute to hypothyroidism. Medicines such as lithium, amiodarone, interleukin-2 and interferon alpha can prevent the thyroid gland from producing its hormones normally. These medicines are most likely to affect the thyroid’s functionality in patients who have a genetic susceptibility to autoimmune thyroid disease.
It’s commonly believed that hypothyroidism is due to insufficient iodine, but this isn’t true. Dr. Kharrazian states that if you have Hashimoto’s, taking supplemental iodine is like throwing gasoline on a fire, so eschew iodine supplements and iodized salt. Primary sources of iodine: sea vegetables and seafood. Secondary sources: eggs, asparagus, lima beans, mushrooms, spinach, sesame seeds, summer squash, Swiss chard, and garlic.
Central or pituitary hypothyroidism: TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland, which is located behind the nose at the base of the brain. Any destructive disease of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, which sits just above the pituitary gland, may cause damage to the cells that secrete TSH, which stimulates the thyroid to produce normal amounts of thyroid hormone. This is a very rare cause of hypothyroidism.
Alcohol consumption can wreak havoc on both thyroid hormone levels in the body and the ability of the thyroid to produce hormone. Alcohol appears to have a toxic effect on the thyroid gland and suppresses the ability of the body to use thyroid hormone. Ideally, people with hypothyroidism should cut out alcohol completely or drink in careful moderation.
The most common treatment I use is Armour thyroid, (9) a prescription drug made from desiccated (dried) porcine thyroid. It contains the full spectrum of thyroid hormones, including T4, T3, and T2 (10). That last one – T2 – is a little-known product of thyroid metabolism that actually may be very important. The right dose ranges from 15 to 180 milligrams, depending on the person.
It is hard for me to tell you what to do without a thorough health history…but I would start by following my anti-inflammatory nutrition plan as mentioned in this article. A natural thyroid hormone replacement like Armour is typically cleaner (levo and synthroid contain GMO corn in the coloring dies) so that would be a good idea. If you would want to consult so I could learn more about your case and customize an appropriate plan for you we could arrange that. Blessings!
“For women who may become pregnant, during pregnancy, or lactating, the American Thyroid Association recommends taking a daily supplement containing 150 mcg of iodine,”8 says Elizabeth Pearce, MD, MSc, professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine in Massachusetts, and the ATA also recommends against taking added selenium during pregnancy given some concern that there is an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes.
Giving appropriate doses of T3 is trickier than appropriately dosing T4. T4 is inactive, so if you give too much there is no immediate, direct tissue effect. T3 is a different story, though, as it is the active thyroid hormone. So if you give too much T3, you can produce hyperthyroid effects directly—a risk, for instance, to people with cardiac disease.
Kelp? No, but don’t take it in supplement form. Thyroid patients should not have more than an average daily recommended intake of 158 to 175 micrograms of kelp per day, Dr. Nasr says. The concentration of kelp in foods is generally not enough to cause a problem. But a kelp capsule can contain as much as 500 micrograms, he says. “Those recommendations to go easy on kelp are for people who don’t understand and take three capsules per day. If you eat kelp once a day, that’s not a problem.”
As mentioned above, most thyroid conditions are auto-immune diseases. There are tons of lymphocytes and other immune cells in the gut, which protect the body from viruses, bacteria, and other invaders. This is why most people with thyroid conditions also experience frequent bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea. A diet change will help your gut tremendously. “All disease begins in the gut“, said Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. I’m not sure why this is not taught in schools today, but it’s an important part of the thyroid diet plan.
Think milk, butter, cheese, and meat. If you buy the cheap, conventionally raised versions at the supermarket, those types of deliciousness can also disrupt all your thyroid’s hard work. You omnivores (like us) can avoid this dilemma by choosing organic, or at least antibiotic-free and hormone-free meats and dairy. It’ll save you in the end, with fewer medical costs down the line.
Goitrogens are naturally occurring substances in certain foods that interfere with the production of thyroid hormones (the hormones that people with hypothyroidism lack). They include some of the most commonly consumed foods of the health-conscious community: broccoli, cauliflower, kale, spinach, radishes, soybeans, peanuts, pine nuts, peaches and millet. The good news is that many health professionals believe that cooking may inactivate goitrogens.
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones. This can happen after the surgical removal of the thyroid gland, if infants were born with congenital hypothyroidism, stress or simply if the thyroid gland is tired of working and is not functioning well. If these hormones are not produced adequately, symptoms like cold intolerance, constipation, fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, goiter and even depression can occur. (See Hypothyroidism Symptoms for more symptoms)
Zinc is another key nutrient for your thyroid—your body needs it to churn out TH. Take in too little zinc, and it can lead to hypothyroidism. But get this: If you develop hypothyroidism, you can also become deficient in zinc, since your thyroid hormones help absorb the mineral, explains Ilic. And when that happens, you may also experience side effects like severe alopecia, an autoimmune condition that attacks hair follicles and makes it fall out in clumps, according to one 2013 report.
In its earliest stage, hypothyroidism may cause few symptoms, since the body has the ability to partially compensate for a failing thyroid gland by increasing the stimulation to it, much like pressing down on the accelerator when climbing a hill to keep the car going the same speed. As thyroid hormone production decreases and the body’s metabolism slows, a variety of features may result.
Most people with hypothyroidism don’t need to steer clear of soy completely. But it’s a good idea to limit your consumption to a few servings a week, and to stick with minimally processed forms of soy like tempeh or miso. Foods containing processed soy protein isolates (like soy protein powder, soy protein bars, or soy-based meat analogs) tend to have a higher concentration of isoflavones, says Markley.
**Note: It’s important to realize that thyroid medication is not one size fits all, and there is no ONE right solution for everybody. Dosage is incredibly important, your specific thyroid labs will impact what type of medication is needed and we all have different needs, budgets, goals, and symptoms. So work with a functional medicine practitioner to find the thyroid medication that makes the most sense for YOU!
Constipation is a common symptom of hypothyroidism. Whole-grain foods such as cereal, bread, pasta, and rice are high in nutrients in addition to fiber, which can help with bowel regularity. However, fiber can interfere with synthetic thyroid hormones, cautions Turner. Some people with hypothyroidism choose to avoid whole-grains altogether, but if you do choose to eat them, "the recommendation is to take your thyroid medication several hours before or after eating foods rich in dietary fiber," she says.
9) Improve Your Mitochondria: The mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of every cell. When someone has a thyroid disorder and especially Hashimoto’s it is a clinical sign that they have dysfunctional activity going on in the mitochondria. Support your mitochondria with clinical doses of CoQ10, L-carnitine, N-acetyl cysteine and Lipoic acid. The supplement I use with my autoimmune clients is Brain Supercharge which has the clinically effective dosages of each of these key nutrients and more.
In humans, a factor associated with response to combination therapy in a large clinical trial is the Thr92Ala polymorphism in the type 2 deiodinase gene (DIO2), wherein the subpopulation of patients with this genetic alteration had improved well-being and preference for combination therapy (7). This has led investigators to consider whether this polymorphism could confer a defect in the D2 pathway, but normal Thr92AlaD2 enzyme kinetics have been demonstrated (73). Only recently has the Thr92AlaD2 protein been found to have a longer half-life, ectopically localize in the Golgi apparatus, and significantly alter the genetic fingerprint in cultured cells and in the temporal pole of the human brain without evidence of reduced thyroid hormone signaling (74). The significance of these studies transcends the thyroid field—this polymorphism has now been associated with a constellation of diseases, including mental retardation, bipolar disorder, and low IQ (75). If hypothyroid carriers of Thr92AlaD2 benefit from alternate therapeutic strategies in replicate studies, then personalized medicine—based on genotype— may have a role.
Short of eating a few kelp salads, you probably don't have to worry about getting too much iodine from any other foods. In particular, dairy products are full of this nutrient (and in more manageable amounts), according to a 2012 research in the journal Nutrition Reviews. Part of the reason is because livestock are given iodine supplements and the milking process involves iodine-based cleaners. Plain, low-fat yogurt, or Greek yogurt is a good source—it can make up about 50% of your daily intake of iodine.
Those with hypothyroidism may want to consider minimizing their intake of gluten, a protein found in foods processed from wheat, barley, rye, and other grains, says Ruth Frechman, RDN, a dietitian in the Los Angeles area and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. And if you have been diagnosed with celiac disease, gluten can irritate the small intestine, and may hamper absorption of thyroid hormone replacement medication.

The CATHOLIC BISHOP OF CHICAGO, a corporation sole, Petitioner, v. The NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, Respondent, and The Illinois Education Association, Intervenor. DIOCESE OF FORT WAYNE-SOUTH BEND, INC., Petitioner, v. The NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, Respondent.
Nos. 76-1600, 76-1638.
United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.
Argued Jan. 21, 1977.
Decided Aug. 3, 1977.
Don H. Reuben, Chicago, 111., Jerome J. O’Dowd, Fort Wayne, Ind., for petitioner.
Samuel Edes, Chicago, 111., for intervenor.
Elliott Moore, John C. Rother, John D. Burgoyne, N.L.R.B., Washington, D.C., for respondent.
Before CUMMINGS, PELL and SPRECHER, Circuit Judges.
PELL, Circuit Judge.
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States specifies that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The cases before us present the issue of whether this constitutional prohibition (sometimes called a high and impregnable wall, but more recently characterized as being a blurred, indistinct, variable barrier depending on all the circumstances of a particular relationship) serves to prevent the National Labor Relations Board, which functions pursuant to an Act of Congress, from exercising jurisdiction over two groups of secondary diocesan schools operated by the Roman Catholic Church.
On June 12, 1974, the Quigley Education Association, an affiliate of the Illinois Education Association, intervenor herein, filed a representation petition with the Board seeking to represent a bargaining unit composed of lay teachers employed at Quigley Seminary North and Quigley Seminary South, secondary schools located in the City of Chicago and operated by The Catholic Bishop of Chicago, a corporation sole, one of the employers herein. On June 4, 1975, the Community Alliance, the other union here involved, filed a representation petition with the Board seeking to represent a bargaining unit composed of lay teachers employed at five diocesan high schools, operated by the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Inc., one of the employers, in Northeastern Indiana.
In the representation hearings conducted during 1975, the employers contended, inter alia, that the Board should decline jurisdiction under its own jurisdictional criteria, and that in any event the First Amendment prohibited the Board’s taking jurisdiction of these schools. The employers’ jurisdictional arguments were rejected on the basis of the Board’s decisions in Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore, Archdiocesan High Schools, 216 NLRB 249 (1975); and Cardinal Timothy Manning, Roman Catholic Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, a Corporation Sole, Etc., 223 NLRB 1218 (1976). Elections were ordered in one unit of all the lay faculty at the two Quigley schools and one unit of the five Indiana diocesan high schools. The unions won the elections and were certified by the Board as the exclusive representatives of the lay faculties in the units.
Following the unions’ requests to bargain collectively, the employers refused to bargain in order to obtain judicial review of the Board’s representation decisions. The unions then filed unfair labor practice charges with the Board, and complaints issued charging the employers with refusing to bargain with the unions in violation of Sections 8(a)(5) and (1) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 158(a)(5) and (1). Motions for summary judgment in both cases were filed with the Board. In response, both employers admitted that they continued to refuse to bargain collectively with the. lay teachers and raised again the affirmative defense that the Board had no jurisdiction over the seminary high schools and the five diocesan high schools.
The Board granted the motions for summary judgment and held that the employers had violated Sections 8(a)(5) and (1) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 158(a)(5) and (1), by refusing to bargain with the certified bargaining representatives of their employees. In reaching these decisions, the Board rejected the employers’ constitutional contentions on the basis that
(1) the purpose of the Act is to maintain and facilitate the free flow of commerce through the stabilization of labor relations; (2) the provisions of the Act do not interfere with religious beliefs; and (3) regulation of labor relations does not violate the first amendment when it involves a minimal intrusion on religious conduct and is necessary to obtain that objective.
The Board’s orders require the employers to desist from the unfair labor practices found and from interfering with their employees’ rights under Section 7 of the Act, 29 U.S.C. § 157. Affirmatively, the Board’s orders require the employers to bargain with the unions upon request and to post appropriate notices.
The Board’s Decisions and Orders issued on June 18, 1976, and are reported at 224 NLRB No. 164 (1976); and at 224 NLRB No. 165 (1976). The respective church employers have petitioned this court to review and set aside the orders and the Board has cross-applied for enforcement of its orders. This court has jurisdiction in the proceedings under Sections 10(e) and (f) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§ 160(e) and (f).
On the day that oral argument was heard in the present cases, argument was also heard with regard to the attempted exercise of jurisdiction by the Board over parochial schools in another diocese in Indiana. In that case the bishop had not gone through the Board procedures as in the present cases. The district court in the third ease had granted an injunction as to the continuance of the Board proceedings and as to an unfair labor practice charge arising out of a discharge during the representation effort. This court acting through the same panel as in the present cases, in an opinion written by Judge Cummings, unanimously agreed that the district court had no jurisdiction because the status quo in the ease did not impede the free exercise of religious belief inasmuch as if the union should win the election and be certified by the Board, the bishop-plaintiff could refuse to bargain with the union and test the validity of the Board’s jurisdiction in this court. “Any First Amendment challenge may later be presented in this Court.” Grutka v. Barbour, 549 F.2d 5, 10 (7th Cir. 1977), cert. denied, 431 U.S. 908, 97 S.Ct. 1706, 52 L.Ed.2d 394 (1977). But cf. Caulfield v. Hirsch, 46 U.S.L.W. 2025 (E.D.Pa. July 7, 1977).
The Board, now that the administrative procedures which were not followed in Grutka have been followed here, takes the position primarily that there is no First Amendment infringement in the Board’s exercise of jurisdiction but secondarily that, even if there conceivably could be a problem “down the line,” any such problem would have to be litigated later and “the Board would be compelled to try to make some reasonable accommodation to the religious purposes of the school.”
To put the present cases into perspective, we will survey briefly the developments which have resulted in the present purported exercise of jurisdiction by the Board. The irreptitious process of bringing private educational institutions within the ambit of the National Labor Relations Act commenced in 1970. In Cornell University, 183 NLRB 329 (1970), the Board, ending a long time refusal to assert jurisdiction over non-profit educational institutions as a class, stated that it would no longer decline to assert such jurisdiction. This history was reviewed with regard to another private nonprofit institution of higher education by the First Circuit in NLRB v. Went-worth Institute, 515 F.2d 550 (1st Cir. 1975). That court rejected the argument that such educational institutions must be impliedly excluded either because of the Act’s legislative history or the Board’s earlier policy and held instead that the Act, clear on its face, could not be understood to preclude jurisdiction. We accept Wentworth as established law in this respect.
Nevertheless, the Board declined to extend this phase of its recently enlarged jurisdiction to schools found to be “completely religious” and hence declined jurisdiction, where the schools were devoted exclusively to teaching religion or religious subjects. See, e. g., Association of Hebrew Teachers of Metropolitan Detroit, 210 NLRB 1053, 1058 (1974); Board of Jewish Education of Greater Washington, D.C., 210 NLRB 1037 (1974). In the following year, however, the Board refined its standard of jurisdiction and accepted jurisdiction where the instruction was not limited to religious subjects and religiously associated schools sought to provide a general education, albeit an education based on religious principles. Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore, Archdiocesan High Schools, supra.
The Board’s position with regard to schools at least of the type of those found in the diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend is set forth in its 1976 Los Angeles case, supra, 223 NLRB at 1218, as follows:
We also do not agree that the schools are religious institutions intimately involved with the Catholic Church. It has heretofore been the Board’s policy to decline jurisdiction over institutions only when they are completely religious, not just religiously associated. Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore, Archdiocesan High Schools, 216 NLRB 249 (1975). The schools perform in part the secular function of educating children, and in part concern themselves with religious instruction. Therefore, we will not decline to assert jurisdiction over these schools on such a basis. Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore, Archdiocesan High Schools, supra.
The procedural route followed in the two cases before us varied somewhat, but the result reached was identical in that the constitutional claims were rejected. In case No. 76-1600, the representation petition had originally been dismissed without a hearing by the Acting Regional Director on the basis of Board of Jewish Education. The petitioning union filed an administrative appeal, and the Board reinstated the petition and directed the Regional Director to proceed with a hearing. After the hearing, by direction of the Regional Director the proceeding was transferred to the Board for decision. In response to the employer’s contention that the schools involved were minor seminary schools operated independently of each other and beyond the Board’s purview and that assertion of jurisdiction would constitute an impermissible entanglement between State and Church, the Board citing Baltimore stated that its policy was to decline jurisdiction over religiously sponsored organizations only when they are completely religious, not just religiously associated. The Board concluded by finding no merit in the contentions that the two schools involved were minor seminary schools and therefore “completely religious.” In analyzing the record produced at the hearing the Board noted that the Archbishop’s policy reflected the desires of the Church to admit those who might adopt the vocation of the priesthood but that in reality the two Quigley schools operated primarily as college preparatory schools “within the class over which the Board has heretofore asserted jurisdiction.” Noting that of the 1974 graduating classes only 16% went to the diocesan seminary college, that the academic curriculum was similar to that of other high schools, both private and public, and that the schools maintained a substantial number of extracurricular activities including interschool sports and intramural activities similar to those engaged in by students in other high schools, the Board stated that under these circumstances the Quigley schools, while religiously associated, “are not completely religious,” and are the type over which the Board asserted jurisdiction.
When the unfair labor practice case later came before the Board, summary judgment was granted essentially on the basis that nothing was presented which would require the Board to reexamine the decision made in the representation proceeding. In answer to the employer’s contention that summary judgment was inappropriate because the Board had never fully determined or addressed itself to the constitutional issues raised in the representation case, the Board responded that the constitutional contentions were clearly raised in the employer’s extensive brief to the Board and that the Board’s decision in ordering an election had made specific reference to the Church-State entanglement contention in finding “that the Quigley schools, while religiously associated, are not completely religious and of the type over which the Board has asserted jurisdiction.” Further, the Board stated that it could not agree with the constitutional contention because of the principles set forth more fully in the Los Angeles case, i. e., that the purpose of the Act is to maintain and facilitate the free flow of commerce through the stabilization of labor relations, that the provisions of the Act do not interfere with religious beliefs, and that the regulation of labor relations does not violate the First Amendment “when it involves a minimal intrusion of religious conduct” and is necessary to obtain the objective of the Act.
In Case No. 76-1638, the original decision and direction of election was issued by the Acting Regional Director at Indianapolis, Indiana, and summarily disposed of the constitutional claim as follows: “The Employer’s contentions that jurisdiction should not be asserted because of its religious character are rejected. Archdiocese of Baltimore, 216 NLRB No. 54.” The Board’s response thereafter was equally summary, as appears from the following teletype: “EMPLOYER REQUEST FOR REVIEW OF ACTING REGIONAL DIRECTOR’S DECISION AND DIRECTION OF ELECTION IS HEREBY DENIED AS IT RAISES NO SUBSTANTIAL ISSUES WARRANTING REVIEW. REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT IS ALSO DENIED.”
When the unfair labor practice case came before the Board, the Board’s order handed down the same day as the order in Case No. 76-1600 essentially followed the same pattern as previously discussed herein with regard to the Chicago case. Again reliance was placed on the tripartite statement of the principles of the Los Angeles case including the involvement of a minimal intrusion of religious conduct. There is, however, in the Board’s order no express finding that the Fort Wayne-South Bend schools were not “completely religious.” By virtue of the Acting Regional Director’s reliance on Baltimore and the Board citation of Los Angeles, we may assume, however, that impliedly the Board found the diocesan high schools not to be “completely religious” and that the Board had not abandoned this standard.
The Board contends that it did not abuse its discretion in finding that under its standard the two Chicago minor seminaries and the five Indiana diocesan high schools were not “completely religious.” It observes that the employers do not appear to be questioning its declination of jurisdiction over “completely religious" schools but seem to contend that the Board misapplied the self-imposed jurisdictional standard. Thus, apart from its contention that there is no First Amendment bar to the application of the Act to Catholic schools, the Board argues that the record amply supports its findings. At the same time, however, the Board argues that this court should not review the Board’s formulation of its jurisdictional standard in the absence of extraordinary circumstances such as unjust discrimination, citing, inter alia, NLRB v. Carroll-Naslund Disposal, Inc., 359 F.2d 779, 780 (9th Cir. 1966) (“The question is whether the Board has violated its own self-imposed jurisdictional standards. It is settled law that the extent to which the Board chooses to exercise its statutory jurisdiction is a matter of administrative policy within the Board’s discretion . . . and is not a question for the courts ... in the absence of extraordinary circumstances, such as unjust discrimination . . . .”)
Because the core question before us is whether the Board’s exercise of jurisdiction over the schools constitutes an improper breaching of the separation wall provided by the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment, we regard this issue, being as it is one which has caused frequent discussions in the Supreme Court in other contexts, as sufficiently extraordinary to require us to analyze the Board’s jurisdictional standard by examining it in the light of the cases dealing with the Religion Clauses.
We find the standard itself to be a simplistic black or white, purported rule containing no borderline demarcation of where “completely religious” takes over or, on the other hand, ceases. In our opinion the dichotomous “completely religious — merely religiously associated” standard provides no workable guide to the exercise of discretion. The determination that an institution is so completely a religious entity as to exclude any viable secular components obviously implicates very sensitive questions of faith and tradition. See, e. g., Yoder, supra, 406 U.S. 205, 92 S.Ct. 1526, 32 L.Ed.2d 15. At some point, factual inquiry by courts or agencies into such matters would almost necessarily raise First Amendment problems. If history demonstrates, as it does, that Roman Catholics founded an alternative school system for essentially religious reasons and continued to maintain them as an “integral part of the religious mission of the Catholic Church,” Lemon, supra, 403 U.S. at 616, 91 S.Ct. at 2113, courts and agencies would be hard pressed to take official or judicial notice that these purposes were undermined or eviscerated by the determination to offer such secular subjects as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English literature.
In our view the Board decisions dealing with the present question demonstrate that the Board has essentially adopted a per se rule that Catholic secondary schools will be subject to its statutory jurisdiction. The simple truth is that the Board had defined those Catholic schools which offer the regular range of secondary subjects as being intrinsically incapable of meeting its jurisdictional standard of “completely religious.”
Thus, in Baltimore, the Board noted the Archdiocese’s contention that the Board should not assert its jurisdiction because of its religious character. Because the Archdiocese “concede[d] that instruction is not limited to religious subjects,” the Board rejected the contention. Similarly, in Los Angeles, the Board could not agree “that the schools are religious institutions intimately involved with the Catholic Church,” even though its decision formally recited that the twenty-six schools were owned and operated by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The rationale for rejecting the Cardinal’s contention was that
[t]he schools perform in part the secular function of educating children, and in part concern themselves with religious instruction. Therefore, we will not decline to assert jurisdiction over these schools on such a basis.
223 NLRB at 1218.
Under the rationale the Board has adopted, it is readily apparent that secondary schools operated by various dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church can never be characterized as “completely religious.” Once the employer admits the fact that its schools are performing “in part the secular function of educating children,” it becomes definitionally impossible under the Board’s cases to establish that the institutions can be anything else but “merely religiously associated.”
The vagaries of litigation seldom present a “no lose” situation. Yet the Board’s formulation of the “misapplication of jurisdictional standards” argument does seem to present a quintessential example of one. Assuming that the amount of gross revenues suffices, institutions which the Supreme Court has generically labeled as “sectarian,” “substantially religious,” “pervasively sectarian,” “church-affiliated,” and “religion-pervasive institutions,” e. g., Roemer v. Board of Public Works of Maryland, 426 U.S. 736, 748-54, 96 S.Ct. 2337, 49 L.Ed.2d 179 (1976); Meek v. Pittenger, 421 U.S. 349, 366, 95 S.Ct. 1753, 44 L.Ed.2d 217 (1975); Levitt v. Committee for Public Education, 413 U.S. 472, 93 S.Ct. 2814, 37 L.Ed.2d 736 (1973); Committee for Public Education v. Nyquist, 413 U.S. 756, 767-68, 93 S.Ct. 2955, 37 L.Ed.2d 948 (1973); Lemon v. Kurtzman, supra, are definitionally transmuted into schools which are “merely religiously associated.” The total inability of the employers to overcome what appears to be an irrebuttable presumption in practical operation makes more understandable the complaint of the employers that the Board is cruelly whip-sawing their schools by holding that institutions too religious to receive governmental assistance are not religious enough to be excluded from its regulation.
Following the premise in the recent Wolman case, id. - U.S. at -, 97 S.Ct. 2593, that irrespective of the height, breadth, straightness, or fissures in the Religion Clauses separation wall, the Court’s numerous precedents in this area are firmly rooted and now provide substantial guidance, we turn to the teaching to be derived from those cases.
As an initial matter, while the so-called parochaid cases are concerned primarily with whether the flow of benefits from governmental sources to the church schools should be prohibited, an equally basic purpose of the Religion Clauses is also to see that no religion is inhibited. “[W]e will not tolerate either governmentally established religion or governmental interference with religion.” Walz v. Tax Commission of the City of New York, 397 U.S. 664, 669, 90 S.Ct. 1409, 1412, 25 L.Ed.2d 697 (1970). As a result of the tension inevitably existing between the Free Exercise and the Establishment Clauses, “our cases require the State to maintain an attitude of ‘neutrality,’ neither ‘advancing’ nor ‘inhibiting’ religion.” (Footnote omitted.) Nyquist, supra, 413 U.S. at 788, 93 S.Ct. at 2973.
We find particularly significant this statement in Walz, supra, 397 U.S. at 669, 90 S.Ct. at 1412:
Each value judgment under the Religion Clauses must therefore turn on whether particular acts in question are intended to establish or interfere with religious beliefs and practices or have the effect of doing so. Adherence to the policy of neutrality that derives from an accommodation of the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses has prevented the kind of involvement that would tip the balance toward government control of churches or governmental restraint on religious practice. [Emphasis added.]
We find no basis in the present record for thinking that the Board has made any value judgments under the Religion Clauses as to whether their exercise of jurisdiction will have the effect of interfering with religious beliefs or practices. That the Board did not do so is no doubt a conscious consequence of the Board’s realization that measuring the degree of religiosity in any particular institution would perforce involve it in answering the sensitive question as to how far religion pervades that institution. Avoiding the question, however, does not and cannot negative its continued existence, nor can a wooden adherence to a jurisdictional standard of “merely religiously associated” mean that simply because a school includes in its curriculum secular subjects it is thereby deprived of the protection of the Religion Clauses in its recognized pursuit of the propagation of its religious faith.
Indeed, with regard to the matter of neutrality or noninterference, the position of the Court is a more positive one than mere neutrality but is a positive “hands off” stricture with respect to “the decisions of the highest judicatories of a religious organization of hierarchical polity on matters of discipline, faith, internal organization, or ecclesiastical rule, custom, or law.” Serbian Eastern Orthodox Diocese for the United States of America and Canada v. Milivojevich, 426 U.S. 696, 713, 96 S.Ct. 2372, 2382, 49 L.Ed.2d 151 (1976); Presbyterian Church v. Blue Hull Memorial Presbyterian Church, 393 U.S. 440, 89 S.Ct. 601, 21 L.Ed.2d 658 (1969); Gonzalez v. Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila, 280 U.S. 1, 50 S.Ct. 5, 74 L.Ed. 131 (1929); Kreshik v. St. Nicholas Cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church of North America, 363 U.S. 190, 80 S.Ct. 1037, 4 L.Ed.2d 1140 (1960).
We have earlier herein collectively referred to some of the recent Supreme Court cases involving challenged state aid to parochial schools and pointed out in that connection that these institutions had been generieally labeled in a manner which appeared to be inconsistent with a constitutional basis for differentiating between “completely religious” and “religiously associated.” For further elaboration on that particular aspect of the present eases, we turn to language contained in two cases:
On the basis of these findings the District Court concluded that the parochial schools constituted “an integral part of the religious mission of the Catholic Church.” The various characteristics of the schools make them “a powerful vehicle for transmitting the Catholic faith to the next generation.” This process of inculcating religious doctrine is, of course, enhanced by the impressionable age of the pupils, in primary schools particularly. In short, parochial schools involve substantial religious activity and purpose.
The substantial religious character of these church-related schools gives rise to entangling church-state relationships of the kind the Religion Clauses sought to avoid. Although the District Court found that concern for religious values did not inevitably or necessarily intrude into the content of secular subjects, the considerable religious activities of these schools led the legislature to provide for careful governmental controls and surveillance by state authorities in order to ensure that state aid supports only secular education. [Footnote omitted.]
Lemon, supra, 403 U.S. at 616, 91 S.Ct. at 2113.
Several teachers testified, however, that they did not inject religion into their secular classes. And the District Court found that religious values did not necessarily affect the content of the secular instruction. But what has been recounted suggests the potential if not actual hazards of this form of state aid. The teacher is employed by a religious organization, subject to the direction and discipline of religious authorities, and works in a system dedicated to rearing children in a particular faith. These controls are not lessened by the fact that most of the lay teachers are of the Catholic faith. Inevitably some of a teacher’s responsibilities hover on the border between secular and religious orientation.
We need not and do not assume that teachers in parochial schools will be guilty of bad faith or any conscious design to evade the limitations imposed by the statute and the First Amendment. We simply recognize that a dedicated religious person, teaching in a school affiliated with his or her faith and operated to inculcate its tenets, will inevitably experience great difficulty in remaining religiously neutral. Doctrines and faith are not inculcated or advanced by neutrals. With the best of intentions such a teacher would find it hard to make a total separation between secular teaching and religious doctrine. What would appear to some to be essential to good citizenship might well for others border on or constitute instruction in religion. Further difficulties are inherent in the combination of religious discipline and the possibility of disagreement between teacher and religious authorities over the meaning of the statutory restrictions.
Id. at 618-19, 91 S.Ct. at 2114.
Mr. Justice Douglas in his concurring opinion in Lemon graphically demonstrated the thorough religious permeation of the entire curriculum of parochial schools in the following language:
Elimination of prayers is only part of the problem. The curriculum presents subtle and difficult problems. The constitutional mandate can in part be carried out by censoring the curricula. What is palpably a sectarian course can be marked for deletion. But the problem only starts there. Sectarian instruction, in which, of course, a State may not indulge, can take place in a course on Shakespeare or in one on mathematics. No matter what the curriculum offers, the question is, what is taught ? We deal not with evil teachers, but with zealous ones who may use any opportunity to indoctrinate a class.
It is well known that everything taught in most parochial schools is taught with the ultimate goal of religious education in mind. Rev. Joseph H. Fichter, S.J., stated in Parochial School: A Sociological Study 86 (1958):
“It is a commonplace observation that in the parochial school religion permeates the whole curriculum, and is not confined to a single half-hour period of the day. Even arithmetic can be used as an instrument of pious thoughts, as in the case of the teacher who gave this problem to her class: ‘If it takes forty thousand priests and. a hundred and forty thousand sisters to care for forty million Catholics in the United States, how many more priests and sisters will be needed to convert and care for the hundred million non-Catholics in the United States?’ ”
Id. at 634-35, 91 S.Ct. at 2122.
The Court restated its conclusions regarding the religious character of parochial schools in Meek v. Pittenger, supra, 421 U.S. at 365, 95 S.Ct. at 1763:
[I]t would simply ignore reality to attempt to separate secular educational functions from the predominantly religious role performed by many of Pennsylvania’s church-related elementary and secondary schools .
The Court, quoting from Hunt v. McNair, 413 U.S. 734, 743, 93 S.Ct. 2868, 37 L.Ed.2d 923 (1973), referred to the schools as institutions “in which religion is so pervasive that a substantial portion of . [their] functions are subsumed in the religious mission . . . .” Id. 421 U.S. at 366, 95 S.Ct. at 1763.
The Court then explained:
The church-related elementary and secondary schools . . . typify such religion-pervasive institutions. The very purpose of many of those schools is to provide an integrated secular and religious education; the teaching process is, to a large extent, devoted to the inculcation of religious values and belief. See Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. at 616-17, [91 S.Ct. [2105] at 2113] .... “[T]he secular education those schools provide goes hand in hand with the religious mission that is the only reason for the schools’ existence. Within the institution, the two are inextricably intertwined.”
Id. at 366, 95 S.Ct. at 1763.
The parochial schools in the cases before us are indistinguishable from those described in Lemon and Meek other than that the Quigley schools are even more completely religiously oriented. All of these essentially patricentric schools are completely subject to the authority of the respective bishops who have the general right of vigilance as to faith and morals and direct authority as regards religious instruction. The bishops operate the schools through functionaries who are completely subservient to the bishops’ authority. The purpose of the schools is to carry out the teaching mission of the Catholic Church. The teachers share in the ecclesiastical authority of the Bishop, and all teachers are expected to assist the students to become good Christians. The fact that these institutions provide a secular as well as a religious education does not detract from the fact that the religious mission “is the only reason for the schools’ existence.” Meek, supra at 366, 95 S.Ct. at 1764.
At this point it might appear upon the basis of the principles established in the Supreme Court cases that enforcement should be denied because the permeation of religion throughout the entire curriculum of the schools is such that the Board finding them to be only religiously associated constituted an abuse of the Board’s discretion. The Board, however, also contends that if it cannot exempt from its jurisdiction schools which are “completely religious,” or for that matter, schools which are “partly religious” or even “religious in some degree,” it would follow that the Board would necessarily have to assert jurisdiction over all religious schools in view of the otherwise inclusive scope of the statute under which it operates. Because of this position, we find it necessary to turn to the larger constitutional question.
We find ourselves, however, in agreement with the employers’ contention that the very threshold act of certification of the union necessarily alters and impinges upon the religious character of all parochial schools. No longer would the bishop be the sole repository of authority as required by church law. Canon 1381. As the Board recognizes, the bishop has now to share “some decision-making” with the union and, as a practical matter, must now consult the lay faculty’s representative on all matters bearing upon the employment arrangement. As Professor Brown, Associate Dean of Yale Law School, has observed:
Once a bargaining agent has the weight of statutory certification behind it, a familiar process comes into play. First, the matter of salaries is linked to the matter of workload; workload is then related directly to class size, class size to range of offerings, and range of offerings to curricular policy. Dispute over class size may also lead to bargaining over admissions policies. This transmutation of academic policy into employment terms is not inevitable, but it is quite likely to occur.
Brown, Collective Bargaining in Higher Education, 67 Mich.L.Rev. 1067, 1075 (1969).
In a law review article several years later quoting the above statement of Professor Brown, it is stated that from the evidence of contracts which have already been negotiated Professor Brown’s views appear to be correct. Kahn, The NLRB and Higher Education, supra at 80. The later article points out that the National Labor Relations Act which was designed and has been administered according to traditional collective bargaining doctrines is inappropriate for higher education. The faculty’s bargaining interests, the article points out, extend beyond the traditional scope of collective bargaining and, at least as to the faculty of a college or university, “the term ‘conditions of employment’ has a meaning which leaves very little not subject to bargaining.” Id. at 79. A report quoted in the article points out because faculty members are both professionals and employees their interests span a wide range of substantive issues, the resolution of which will determine the role of the institution and the status and opportunities of the individual faculty members. First among the categories considered to be of legitimate interest are educational and administrative policies. Id. at 80. While the article in question is directed at the college level, we are unaware of any reason that the same approach would not be involved in the secondary schools by the professional lay teachers there employed.
The Board’s order to bargain unquestionably, in our opinion, inhibits the bishops’ authority to maintain parochial schools in accordance with ecclesiastical concern. If a bishop, for example, should refuse to renew all lay faculty teacher contracts because he believed that the union had adopted policies and practices at odds with the religious character of the institutions, or because he wanted to replace lay teachers with religious-order teachers who had become available, under ecclesiastical law he would have the right if not the duty to take that action. Yet, under the National Labor Relations Act, he might well be found guilty of an unfair labor practice. 29 U.S.C. § 158(a)(1), (3) and (5). See, e. g., NLRB v. Burnup & Sims, Inc., 379 U.S. 21, 85 S.Ct. 171, 13 L.Ed.2d 1 (1964). The real difficulty is found in the chilling aspect that the requirement of bargaining will impose on the exercise of the bishops’ control of the religious mission of the schools. To minimize friction between the Church and the Board, prudence will ultimately dictate that the bishop tailor his conduct and decisions to “steer far wider of the unlawful zone” of impermissible conduct. Speiser v. Randall, 357 U.S. 513, 526, 78 S.Ct. 1332, 1342, 2 L.Ed.2d 1460 (1958). If, for example, a teacher should give a strong pro-union speech at a meeting one week and the next week would advocate the cause of birth control to his or her students or favor the availability to poor people of abortion, the bishop would be confronted with a choice of foregoing his right to discharge the heretical employee or do so at the risk of a protracted and expensive unfair labor practice proceeding before the Board which would certainly in part involve the Church’s religious policies and beliefs.
In sum, it is unrealistic to say that an employer which has to honor a bargaining order is not substantially inhibited in the manner in which it conducts its operations. This is true of all bargaining orders but on the general industrial and commercial scene sound policy considerations have upheld this imposition, inhibiting though it may be, which policy declarations are found at 29 U.S.C. §§ 141 and 151. We do not disagree with the soundness of the legislative policy determinations which have been consistently upheld by the courts. We only say that when that imposition conflicts with the Religion Clauses that the First Amendment protective wall should prevail. See Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398, 406-09, 83 S.Ct. 1790, 10 L.Ed.2d 965 (1963).
We, of course, must recognize that there are permissible governmental impingements upon the operation of the church schools. Chief Justice Burger in Lemon, supra 403 U.S. at 614, 91 S.Ct. 2105, pointed out that the prior holdings of the Court do not call for total separation between Church and State; total separation not being possible in an absolute sense. The opinion then indicated that some relationship between government and religious organizations was inevitable such as fire inspections, building and zoning regulations, and state requirements under compulsory school-attendance laws. These were listed as examples of necessary and permissible contacts. To the extent that it is argued that the present Board action is similar to these necessarily permissible contacts, we do not agree. Laws on matters such as fire inspections and compulsory attendance do not have the clear inhibiting potential upon the relationship between teachers and employers with which the present Board order is directly concerned.
Further, the type of governmental restrictions found in laws pertaining to zoning, school-attendance, and similar subjects involve a distinction which has been recognized in the parochaid cases as significant with regard to the matter of aid and conversely it would seem should be significantly applicable to the inhibiting side of the coin. Thus, in Nyquist, supra 413 U.S. at 782 n.38, 93 S.Ct. at 2970, the Court stated the following: “Allen [/. e., Board of Education v. Allen, 392 U.S. 236, [88 S.Ct. 1923, 20 L.Ed.2d 1060] (1968)] and Everson differ from the present litigation in a second important respect. In both cases the class of beneficiaries included all schoolchildren, those in public as well as those in private schools. See also Tilton v. Richardson, supra, [403 U.S. 672, [91 S.Ct. 2091, 29 L.Ed.2d 790] (1971)] in which federal aid was made available to all institutions of higher learning, and Walz v. Tax Comm’n, supra, in which tax exemptions were accorded to all educational and charitable nonprofit institutions.” (Emphasis in original.) The inhibiting restrictions resulting from the Board’s determination that it will exercise jurisdiction over parochial secondary schools is not applicable to the great bulk of the secondary schools in this country being, of course, public schools which are operated by political subdivisions of states which are expressly exempted from the definition of “employer.” 29 U.S.C. § 152(2).
The Board concedes that “disputes in parochial schools may well involve issues of religious doctrine,” but asserts that its only concern in deciding disputes would be focused on the commission of unfair labor practices which are inherently unrelated to differences of religious interpretation. The Board further contends that even if it were to intrude into doctrinal matters, inadvertently or otherwise, the remedy would be, not to strip it of its general jurisdiction to adjudicate underlying unfair practice disputes, but simply to require it to decide its case without regard to the merits of the alleged doctrinal issues. We have difficulty in following the Board’s rhetoric. We are unable to see how the Board can avoid becoming entangled in doctrinal matters if, for example, an unfair labor practice charge followed the dismissal of a teacher either for teaching a doctrine that has current favor with the public at large but is totally at odds with the tenets of the Roman Catholic faith, or for adopting a lifestyle acceptable to some, but contrary to Catholic moral teachings. The Board in processing an unfair labor practice charge would necessarily have to concern itself with whether the real cause for discharge was that stated or whether this was merely a pretextual reason given to cover a discharge actually directed at union activity. The scope of this examination would necessarily include the validity as a part of church doctrine of the reason given for the discharge.
That these paradigmatic situations proposed above are not merely fanciful horror tales devised by an employer who seeks to avoid labor board jurisdiction is rather persuasively demonstrated by charges that have actually been filed as demonstrated by one employer’s brief.
The summary in one of the briefs is as follows:
Three unfair labor practices charges have been filed with respect to the very schools involved in this case. In Case No. 25-CA-7932-3 filed May 7, 1976 with NLRB Region 25, Indianapolis, Indiana, for example, the Union charged that the Diocese committed an unfair labor practice when it refused to offer a teacher a contract. The Diocese responded that the teacher’s contract was not renewed because inter alia she exposed biology students to sexual theories of Masters and Johnson that were contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church. In Case No, 25-CA-7932, filed May 4, 1976, with NLRB Region 25, Indianapolis, Indiana, to cite another example, a similar charge was filed because the Diocese refused to renew a teaching contract. The Diocese responded that the teacher’s contract was not renewed because the teacher married a divorced Catholic and was no longer in good standing with the Church. The third case, Case No. 25-CA-7932-2, was filed May 7, 1976, with NLRB Region 25, Indianapolis, Indiana. The Diocese refused to renew a teaching contract because the teacher was unwilling to structure a course in religion as directed by the principal and chairman of the religion department. Whether these actions constitute firing for cause is for the Board to decide. Compare 29 U.S.C. § 160(c). To make such decisions, however, the Board inevitably must assay the moral teachings of the Church there at issue and delve into two thousand years of religious tradition.
The same brief also refers to an unfair labor practice charge by a teacher at the parochial high school in the diocese of Gary, Indiana, which charge was a part of the subject of the action involved in Grutka, supra. The charge there was that the recitation of a prayer by the Catholic bishop of the diocese interfered with employees’ rights and the Board’s complaint as filed according to the employers’ briefs read in part as follows:
“On or about the dates set forth below in 1976, and at the place set forth below, the Respondent, by and through its supervisors and agents named, did:
(a) Make implied promises of benefit and threats of reprisal to induce employees to cease their union activities and to cease their affiliation with the American Federation of Teachers by reciting to said employees a prayer entitled ‘Repent Ye Sinful Children;’ and in reading aloud to said employees the General Epistle of Saint James, Chapter 4, Verses 1-10 — Father Casimer Senarik and Father Sierkierski — February 26 at the residence of Bishop Andrew G. Grutka.”
We are advised that subsequent to the filing of the employers’ original briefs this particular charge was dismissed by an Administrative Law Judge. It is of interest to note, however, that the charge was dismissed only after three days of testimony and 531 pages of transcript. We agree with the employers that such a dismissal does very little to establish the Board’s sensitivity to the principles of the Religion Clauses.
The Board also argues what appears to be a “case or controversy” contention by arguing that the asserted constitutional injury cannot be merely speculative but must be demonstrable reality or as the matter was phrased during oral argument, there conceivably could be a problem “down the line” which would have to be litigated at some subsequent time but that there is no present problem. As we have already indicated, we do not regard the exposure which the certification forces upon the two bishops to be speculative or fanciful. The whole tenor of the Religion Clauses cases involving state aid to schools is that there does not have to be an actual trial run to determine whether the aid can be segregated, received and retained as to secular activities only but it is sufficient to strike the aid down that a reasonable likelihood or possibility of entanglement exists. Thus, we find the language in Lemon, 403 U.S. supra at 619, 91 S.Ct. at 2114, concerning a difficulty in “the possibility of disagreement between teacher and religious authorities over the meaning of the statutory restrictions.” (Emphasis added.) Also in the same case we find, at 620, 91 S.Ct. at 2115, the language: “This kind of state inspection and evaluation of the religious content of a religious organization is fraught with the sort of entanglement that the Constitution forbids. It is a relationship pregnant with dangers of excessive government direction of church schools and hence of churches.” . . “[W]e cannot ignore here the danger that pervasive modem governmental power will ultimately intrude on religion and thus conflict with the Religion Clauses.” (Emphasis added.)
Likewise the Court in Walz supra 397 U.S. at 674, 90 S.Ct. at 1414, had no difficulty in forecasting the reasonably-to-be-expected result from the elimination of the real estate tax exemption for church property as including tax foreclosures:
Elimination of exemption would tend to expand the involvement of government by giving rise to tax valuation of church property, tax liens, tax foreclosures, and the direct confrontations and conflicts that follow in the train of those legal processes.
To anticipate that tax foreclosures would follow in the train of the legal processes would require that the no longer exempt church would be unable or unwilling to pay its real estate tax and would be confronted with a tax foreclosure suit. The certitude of entanglement with doctrinal matters in our opinion is much greater in the present case than the possibilities involved in Walz.
Both the union and the Board rely heavily upon the early case of Associated Press v. NLRB, 301 U.S. 103, 57 S.Ct. 650, 81 L.Ed. 953 (1937), and argue that the question before this court is no different in principle than the question before the Court in the earlier case. We find the reliance misplaced. We do not read Associated Press as really having anything to do with freedom of the press under the First Amendment. The case that came before the Court in Associated Press did not and we do not see how it could have involved freedom of the press. Very simply the case that came before the Court involved an employee who was discharged for his activities in connection with the Newspaper Guild. Id. at 125, 57 S.Ct. 650. In its answer before the Board the employer had denied that the discharge was due to Guild activities. Apparently there had been a contention before the Board that the discharge was solely on the grounds of the work not being on a basis of which he had shown capability. This contention was not pursued in the Supreme Court which, as stated above, had an unchallenged situation before it of discharge for union activity.
It is true that the Court purported to address First Amendment freedom of speech and freedom of press questions but held that the statute as applied to the petitioner did not abridge these freedoms. The Court made it clear that the application of the Act to the Associated Press did not in any way interfere with its freedom not to employ or not to retain an incompetent editor or one who failed to edit the news to reflect the facts without bias or prejudice. This involved simply a matter common to all employers of not hiring or retaining an employee who would not or does not carry out directions or instructions or subverts those directions. Failure of a newspaper employee to carry out a publisher-employer’s policy would not bear on freedom of the press; a failure of a lay teacher to carry out a bishop-employer’s policy would directly interfere with the exercise of religion.
Reasons for discharge other than for union activity prohibited by the Act in the case of the news media would as we see it have nothing to do with freedom of the press, whereas in the cases before us as we have indicated hereinbefore doctrinal reasons or violation of doctrinal or church principles would directly concern the Religion Clauses of the First Amendment. In sum, the right of the Associated Press either to discharge or not to hire an employee because of incompetency or for any other reason other than those protected by the Act would not in our opinion be dependent upon or in any way related to its right of press freedom, a freedom belonging to it by virtue of the Constitution. That, as has been said, is not true of the situation involved in the cases here under consideration.
We are not unmindful that the four dissenting justices rested their disagreement upon their fears that the majority opinion constituted an infringement upon the freedom of the press. The rationale of the dissent, however, was that “freedom of the press” obviously meant more than publication and circulation but included the right to adopt or pursue a policy without governmental restriction. Id. at 137, 57 S.Ct. 650. The dissenters accepted as true the statement of the reason for the discharge but stated that they were “of opinion that the constitutional immunity of the press does not permit any legislative restriction of the authority of a publisher, acting upon his own judgment, to discharge anyone engaged in the editorial service,” terming such a restriction in itself to be an abridgement of the freedom of the press. Id. at 137-38, 57 S.Ct. 650, 658.
In Associated Press, as the majority points out, even the ostensible claim before the Board was that the discharge was on a matter of capability and there was no claim before the Board nor a claim before the Court that the employee would show bias in his future reporting or editorial work. This was too much a non-existent and an assumed circumstance without any basis in fact for the Court to address the matter. On the other hand, in the situation in which we are involved, we have attempted to demonstrate that the necessity of bargaining and negotiating with faculty members on conditions of employment inevitably involves conflicts concerning the religious program of the schools and infringement of the First Amendment Religion Clauses. Inevitably some of a lay teacher’s responsibilities must hover on the imprecise border between religious and secular orientation.
During oral argument, counsel for the Board was asked what the situation would be if a bishop should attempt to discharge a teacher-heretic and unfair labor practice charges were filed. The Board’s counsel expressed the opinion that the Board would be required in that situation to take cognizance of the religious nature of the grounds for discharge and give respect to that. He repeated that the First Amendment would require, in his opinion, the Board to take cognizance of this special kind of reason. He further supplemented the observations by expressing the opinion that the Board would be compelled “to try to make some reasonable accommodation to the religious purposes of the school.” He thought that the First Amendment demanded at least that, and it was his understanding that the Board would not order reinstatement of a heretic in the classroom. He expressed the opinion that such reinstatement would be well beyond the power of the Board. He further differentiated accommodation from entanglement.
Even if we were to assume that the Board in handling parochial school teacher cases would consider itself bound by the statements of its counsel in an oral argument before this court, as to which we must confess extreme skepticism, we have difficulty in finding avoidance of entanglement by the employing bishop in governmental toils in his future conducting of the religious programs of the schools under his aegis.
We direct our attention to just what “accommodation” might mean. We can without citing authority recognize the word “accommodation” as having long definitional experience in the law pertaining to bills and notes or the law merchant. That development of law is little use to us here. More recently the term is periodically found in other areas. Thus, in Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen v. Chicago River & Indiana Co., 353 U.S. 30, 40, 77 S.Ct. 635, 12 L.Ed.2d 622 (1957), Chief Justice Warren wrote that there had to be accommodation of the Norris-LaGuardia Act with the Railway Labor Act so that the obvious purpose in the enactment of each was preserved. Significantly, however, in speaking for the Court, he stated that the purposes of the two Acts were reconcilable. Still more recently an area of litigation has developed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, coincidentally implicating Religion Clauses questions. A specific case in this respect is Cummins v. Parker Seal Company, 516 F.2d 544 (6th Cir. 1975). That case involved an EEOC regulation, 29 C.F.R. § 1605.1 (1974). This regulation was to the effeqt that the duty of an employer not to discriminate on religious grounds as required by the Civil Rights Act included an obligation on the part of the employer to make reasonable accommodations to the religious needs of employees and prospective employees where such accommodations could be made without undue hardship on the conduct of the employer’s business. Id. at 546. The majority of the Sixth Circuit panel held that the religious accommodation rule did not violate the First Amendment with Judge Celebrezze dissenting on constitutional grounds. In Yott v. North American Rockwell Corporation, 428 F.Supp. 763 (C.D.Cal. 1977), the district court found itself unpersuaded by the majority in Cummins and held that the religion provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. A similar question was involved in Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Hardison, — U.S. —, 97 S.Ct. 2264, 53 L.Ed.2d 113 (1977). However, the constitutional issue was not reached because of the Court’s disposition of the case, which was that the employer had not violated the Act or the Regulation inasmuch as its conduct constituted reasonable accommodation under the circumstances and in the light of the “undue hardship” standard. Although Cummins was affirmed by an equally divided Court, 429 U.S. 65, 97 S.Ct. 342, 50 L.Ed.2d 223 (1976), the Court subsequently granted rehearing and vacated its own judgment and that of the court of appeals and remanded for further consideration in the light of the Trans World Airlines case. -U.S.-, 97 S.Ct. 2264, 53 L.Ed.2d 113 (1977).
This synopsis of recent litigation in the religion area persuades us that at the very least there is a substantial constitutional question presented where what is involved is an “accommodation” or, synonymously, an adjustment or an adaptation or a compromise and settlement involving a First Amendment right. A “reasonable accommodation” by the Board “to the religious purposes of the school” on the presentation of a doctrinal issue in an unfair labor practice case would implicitly appear to us to involve the necessity of explanation and analysis, and probably verification and justification, of the doctrinal precept involved, all of which would itself erode the protective wall afforded by the constitutional right.
If as the Board counsel indicated during oral argument in the present cases, reasonable accommodation would mean that where the religious question was presented for discharge or failure to hire it would override somehow the fact that the discharge or failure to hire was also motivated by anti-union reasons, then it would seem there would be still other substantial constitutional questions presented. At this point putting aside for the moment the fact that even to reach the stage of convincing the Board of the necessity of an accommodation, the bishop, as we have mentioned previously in this opinion, would have to eliminate the pretextual aspect of claimed justification which would involve the matter of showing the validity of the claimed doctrinal position advanced. We are not unmindful in that respect that the freedom of exercise of religion includes adhering to beliefs which may not be generally accepted or may indeed be deemed generally unacceptable but never to the point of being proscribed as a religious belief even though subject to prohibition as a practice, for example, belief in polygamy. The matter of the constitutional toleration of diverse religious views was aptly stated by Justice Douglas in United States v. Ballard, 322 U.S. 78, 87, 64 S.Ct. 882, 886, 88 L.Ed. 1148 (1944):
The Fathers of the Constitution were not unaware of the varied and extreme views of religious sects, of the violence of disagreement among them, and of the lack of any one religious creed on which all men would agree. They fashioned a charter of government which envisaged the widest possible toleration of conflicting views. Man’s relation to his God was made no concern of the state. He was granted the right to worship as he pleased and to answer to no man for the verity of his religious views. The religious views espoused by respondents might seem incredible, if not preposterous, to most people. But if those doctrines are subject to trial before a jury charged with finding their truth or falsity, then the same can be done with the religious beliefs of any sect. When the triers of fact undertake that task, they enter a forbidden domain. The First Amendment does not select any one group or any one type of religion for preferred treatment. It puts them all in that position. [Emphasis added.]
Thus, and applicable to the present context, we can judicially note that there is some division on the acceptability of birth control, and certainly wide division on that of abortion. On the latter, at least, the division of opinion is not merely confined to non-Catholics.
The real difficulty, even if accommodation could otherwise properly be brought to play in the present situation, is that it would run afoul of well-established principles applicable to all other employers in the labor relations area. “[0]nee it has been proved that the employer engaged in discriminatory conduct which could have adversely affected rights to some extent, the burden is upon the employer to establish that he was motivated by legitimate objectives since proof of motivation is most accessible to him.” [Emphasis in original.] NLRB v. Great Dane Trailers, Inc., 388 U.S. 26, 34, 87 S.Ct. 1792, 1798, 18 L.Ed.2d 1027 (1967). “[T]he rule is well established that although ample valid grounds may exist for the discharge of an employee, that discharge will violate § 8(a)(3) if it was in fact motivated, even partially, by the employee’s union activity.” [Emphasis added.] NLRB v. The Pembeck Oil Corporation, 404 F.2d 105, 109 (2d Cir. 1968), vacated on other grounds and remanded, 395 U.S. 828, 89 S.Ct. 2125, 23 L.Ed.2d 737 (1969).
In sum, on this point it appears clear that the existence of a valid ground for discharge is not sufficient, if it was merely a pretext or the discharge was based in part on an unlawful ground. NLRB v. Advanced Business Forms Corporation, 474 F.2d 457, 464 (2d Cir. 1973). We fail to comprehend the real possibility of accommodation in the present context without someone’s constitutional rights being violated, which in turn would seem to preclude the possibility of accommodation as an answer to the obviation of the religious entanglement problem.
In reaching the conclusion that we have in this opinion that those who undertake to teach young people in parochial schools which have been denied state aid because of their pervasive religious nature are as such teachers denied the important protective rights of the National Labor Relations Act, we cannot be unmindful of the substantial importance of the national policy as stated in that Act of “encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and by protecting the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection.” 29 U.S.C. § 151. A church which chooses to educate .its own young people in schools which it is required essentially to finance without governmental aid should because of the essentially religious permeation of its curriculum be equally freed of the obviously inhibiting effect and impact of the restrictions of the National Labor Relations Act in conducting the teaching program of those schools. We, of course, would assume that a church so choosing would usually not itself be unmindful of the desirability of affording its young people an education which would suitably equip them mentally for participation in daily life and that this obvious desire will require the securing and retention of teachers of competence, many of whom in this day and age will not be altogether motivated in seeking employment by the love of the institution which they are serving.
Having indicated our holding on these cases, we add comments on two matters.
The first matter is an economic one. In our research we had occasion frequently to note references of one sort or another to the fact that private education has played and is playing a significant and valuable role in raising national levels of knowledge, competence, and experience, that these schools are confronted with increasingly grave fiscal problems the resolution of which by increasing tuition charges forces parents to turn to the public schools and that this in turn exacerbates the problems of public education at the same time that it weakens support for the parochial schools. See, e. g., Nyquist, supra, 413 U.S. at 795, 93 S.Ct. 2955.
We now learn that during the present year the Vatican for the first time has called for government financial support of the world’s Roman Catholic schools, warning that in the present situation these schools could be more and more frequently available only to the rich without public aid.
While the fact that the abolition of parochial schools would undoubtedly throw a tremendous financial burden upon taxpayers whose already heavy school tax costs are reduced by the substantial numbers of students in parochial schools, nevertheless the economic factor has not been a persuasive one, and, in fact, has not been given a decisional aspect in the parochaid cases. Indeed, in Nyquist, supra at 795-96, 93 S.Ct. 2955, the Court pointed out that the economic factor if anything militates against state aid and that increasing state aid could lead to divisiveness related to religious beliefs and practice and the need for continuing and increasing annual appropriations. We do observe, however, that an even-handed approach to justice might seem to suggest that the Religion Clauses, serving as they do as a buckler to stop financial aid to these schools should not now be any less effective to ward off the inhibiting effect of the governmental regulation here involved.
Secondly, we have generally in this opinion referred to the Religion Clauses rather than dwelling on the differentiations between the dual aspects of the Religion Clauses of “establishment” and “free exercise” of religion. Our treatment of the Religion Clauses jointly has been because of our belief that there has been some blurring of sharply honed differentiations. Even though “establishment” may at one time have been construed to mean establishing a state religion, it is no longer so but as is pointed out in Lemon, supra, 403 U.S. at 612, 91 S.Ct. 2105, a key word in the First Amendment is “respecting” and that a law may be one “respecting” a forbidden objective while falling short of its total realization. There are substantia] aspects in the present cases, in our opinion, not only of sovereign involvement in the religious activity under the establishment clause but there is undoubtedly, in our view, also curtailment of the free exercise of religion under the second prong of the Religion Clauses. Under these circumstances we have felt it sufficient to leave the matter of disposition jointly on the Religion Clauses, each of which has the identical purpose of maintaining a separation between Church and State.
For the reasons set forth herein, the orders of the National Labor Relations Board in these cases dated June 18, 1976, are hereby set aside and the Board’s cross-applications for enforcement of said orders are denied.
SPRECHER, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
In concurring with Judge Pell’s persuasive opinion, I would only add that the National Labor Relations Board, in attempting to steer a course between the Scylla and Charybdis of the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses, has collided with one and fallen into the other. The Board’s assertion of jurisdiction will have the effect of inhibiting the practice of religion by regulating it, yet by conceding .that this will inexorably force it to “accommodate” and prefer religious employers and conversely to discriminate against secular employers in like situations, it will in the constitutional sense “establish” the religions with which it deals.
. Everson v. Board of Education, 330 U.S. 1, 18, 67 S.Ct. 504, 91 L.Ed. 711 (1947).
. Lemon v. Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602, 614, 91 S.Ct. 2105, 29 L.Ed.2d 745 (1971).
. Throughout this opinion we shall generally use the terms employers and bishops interchangeably. Under Canon Law, the bishops are technically known as Ordinaries. Under the laws of Illinois and Indiana, there are some differences in the way in which the bishops have organized their dioceses for purposes of adhering to the neutral and secular requirements of state law. By the Act of February 20, 1861, the General Assembly of Illinois transformed the then Catholic Bishop of Chicago, and his successors in office, into a body politic, and a corporation sole, under the name and style of “The Catholic Bishop of Chicago.” In Indiana, the bishop operates the diocese through a not-for-profit corporation. For the purposes of this opinion, we will not incorporate distinctions between the corporate entities and the persons of the Ordinaries.
. All church operated schools, at least through the secondary level, are frequently generically referred to by the public as parochial schools. Technically, parochial schools would appear to be those established by the parish and the high schools such as those involved in the present cases would be properly characterized as diocesan institutions. See T. Bouscaren and A. Ellis, Canon Law: A Text and Commentary 746 (3d rev.ed. 1957). Nevertheless, noting that Webster’s Third International Dictionary gives a gloss to the popular usage by defining “parochial school” as “[a] school maintained by a religious body usually for elementary instruction,” and because of reference herein to the so-called parochaid cases, we, on occasion, will use the publicly understood reference.
. If the religious saturation of the Chicago schools as opposed to the Indiana schools should be significant, it appears clear on the records before us, and apparently is not disputed, that the Quigley schools had a higher degree of religious orientation than did the Indiana schools. The intervening union does not deny that to be admitted to the Quigley schools a boy must receive a recommendation from his parish priest stating that the boy has some interest in the priesthood or has the character and ability to give the local pastor reason to think he has the potential for Christian leadership, either as a priest or a layman. This is a change from former years as prior to 1970 only boys who had a positive desire to be priests were admitted to the Quigley schools. On the other hand, the Indiana schools are typical of so-called parochial high schools found throughout this country maintained and operated by the Roman Catholic Church. Because of the result we reach in these cases with regard to the Indiana schools, we do not deem it necessary to give significance to the apparently greater religiosity of the Quigley schools.
. The brief for the Chicago employer complains of mystification that the Board found 46 laymen and a mere $65,500 in interstate purchases as posing a threat to interstate commerce of the type that the National Labor Relations Act was intended to meet. It was also pointed out by this employer that it was necessary for the operating budgets for the two Quigley schools to be totalled together as the Board did to meet the Board’s jurisdictional standard for private educational institutions as contained in 29 C.F.R., Part 103, Subpart A, § 103.1 (1970), of $1,000,000. We note, however, that the Act authorizes the Board to decide in each case the appropriate unit and whether that should be the employer unit or some other type, 29 U.S.C. § 159(b). Here the Board was within its statutory authority of selecting an employer unit. The Chicago employer’s brief has not pursued the matter and we shall likewise refrain from further pursuit.
. It would seem beyond any reasonable likelihood that the founding fathers in granting in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution the power to Congress to regulate commerce among the several states could have had in mind that any Act of Congress controlling the relations between teachers and the proprietors of a private local secondary school would be justified under the commerce power provision. One calls to mind the attitude in a somewhat analogous situation found in Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 518, 4 L.Ed. 629 (1819), and Daniel Webster’s oral argument referring to the small college “and yet there are those who love it,” in which argument he also said in a passage which the founding fathers might have deemed applicable to the cases before us:
The case before the court is not of ordinary importance, nor of every-day occurrence. It affects not this college only, but every college, and all the literary institutions of the country. They have flourished, hitherto, and have become in a high degree respectable and useful to the community. They have all a common principle of existence, the inviolability of their charters. It will be a dangerous, a most dangerous, experiment, to hold these institutions subject to the rise and fall of popular parties, and the fluctuation of political opinions. If the franchise may be, at any time, taken away or impaired, the property also may be taken away, or its use perverted.
Id. at 598-99.
Nevertheless, and being not unmindful that recognition of the scope of the commerce power clause has long since passed the comprehension of the founding fathers, we accept the applicability of the clause to private schools, provided, of course, that its exercise does not run afoul of the First Amendment constitutional protection. See generally Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205, 213-15, 92 S.Ct. 1526, 32 L.Ed.2d 15 (1972).
. Adjudication of the constitutionality of Congressional enactments has generally been thought beyond the jurisdiction of administrative agencies. Grutka, supra at 8. There is in the present cases no facial challenge to the statute under which the Board is proceeding but rather one to the application of the statute to certain parochial schools. The manner of application as we pointed out in Grutka required the development of a factual record, which has now been done.
. The Board has apparently chosen, as it customarily does, to approach the issue of the jurisdictional standard for parochial secondary schools through case-by-case decision-making rather than by the use of its formal rule-making powers under Section' 6 of the Act, 29 U.S.C. § 156. For a critique of this phase of the Board’s procedures in another education field, see Kahn, The NLRB and Higher Education: The Failure of Policy Making through Adjudication, 21 U.S.L.A. L.Rev. 63, 167 et seq. (1973).
. The most recent case in the present area is that of Wolman v. Walter, - U.S. -, 97 S.Ct. 2593, 53 L.Ed.2d 714 (1977), a case which some observers have interpreted as retreating somewhat from a staunch insistence on the separation of Church and State. We observe nevertheless that the decision refers with regard to instructional materials and equipment to “the impossibility of separating the secular educational function from the sectarian . . . .” Id. at-, 97 S.Ct. at 2607.
. While the Board purported to avoid an excursion into religiosity by the use of its simplistic test, the record in one of the cases reflects several cases of attention to strictly religious matters. There were several questions by counsel for the union on these subjects, and the following occurred in colloquy between the hearing officer and one of the employer’s witnesses:
Q Now, we have had quite a bit of testimony already as to liturgies, and I don’t want to beat a dead horse; but let me ask you one question: If you know, how many liturgies are required at Catholic parochial high schools; do you know?
A I think our first problem with that would be defining liturgies. That word would have many definitions. Do you want to go into that?
Q I believe you defined it before, is that correct, when you first testified?
A I am not sure. Let me try briefly to do it again, okay?
Q Yes.
A A liturgy can range anywhere from the strictest sense of the word, which is the sacrifice of the Mass in the Roman Catholic terminology. It can go from that all the way down to a very informal group in what we call shared prayer.
Two or three individuals praying together and reflecting their own reactions to a scriptural reading. All of these — and there is a big spectrum in between those two extremes — all of these are popularly referred to as liturgies.
Q I see.
A Now, possibly in repeating your question, you could give me an idea of that spectrum, I could respond more accurately.
If you know how many Masses are required at Catholic parochial high schools?
. Mr. Justice Douglas’ supporting footnote 20 read as follows:
“ ‘In the parochial schools Roman Catholic indoctrination is included in every subject. History, literature, geography, civics, and science are given a Roman Catholic slant. The whole education of the child is filled with propaganda. That, of course, is the very purpose of such schools, the very reason for going to all of the work and expense of maintaining a dual school system. Their purpose is not so much to educate, but to indoctrinate and train, not to teach Scripture truths and Americanism, but to make loyal Roman Catholics. The children are regimented, and are told what to wear, what to do, and what to think.’ L. Boettner, Roman Catholicism 360 (1962).”
. The Ordinaries of the places (the residential bishops) have the right and duty to watch that in any schools within the territory nothing is taught and nothing is.done which is contrary to faith or good morals. The bishops “have also the right to approve teachers and textbooks of religion; and also to demand in the interest of religion and morality that either teachers or books be removed . . Bouscaren and Ellis, supra at 747.
. We emphasize, as We did in connection with our discussion of Wentworth, supra, that we do not herein question the correctness of the exercise of Board jurisdiction over private, non-sectarian schools. Our inclusion of references to the Brown and Kahn articles is not intended to reflect any change of position on the Went-worth premise but is to demonstrate what we regard will be the inevitable tenor and direction of negotiations on conditions of employment between professional faculty members and school administrators at all educational levels.
. The sixth and seventh sentences of this extract appeared in a footnote in the employer’s brief. They have been relocated in the quoted extract for purposes of clarity.
. We are not, of course, in the present cases concerned with reconciling the purpose of two equal strength statutes. Reconciliation in the statutory situation could reasonably contemplate adjustments. While a statute may be adjusted so as not to offend a constitutional right, we would deem that the reverse route of adjusting the constitutional right so as not to offend the statute, or its application, is one which is not susceptible of pursuit.

The two main receptor types, both coupled with G-proteins are CB1 (Receptors found in the brain and reproductive organs) and CB2 (Receptors found in the immune system). These Endo Cannabinoids are what the body produces, like plants who also produces Cannabinoids known as Phyto CannabinoidsTHC and CBD.
THC and CBD are the keys which unlock the bodies Endocannabinoid System through the locks CB1 and CB2.
1. How does CBD Work?
CBD is a Phytocannabinoid that is absorbed by the body. CBD cannabinoid collaborates with the bodies Endocannabinoid System and receptors CB1 and CB2 being the most important to support health and wellbeing. CBD does not give you a psychoactive effect or produce a ‘high’, this is the cannabinoid THC.

October token unlocks: are these projects destined to be crushed by their tokenomics?
* SUI: 34 million tokens were already released on October 3rd, equal to 4% of the total supply. Only 8% of the total supply has been released so far, making the token much inflationary in the future. The majority of SUI is destined to community reserves and staking rewards, but there is also a great part intended to early investors and venture capitals that could be interested in often selling SUI to make their money back.
* IMX (Immutable X): 16 million tokens will be released on October 7th, accounting for 1.5% of the total supply. Immutable's situation is a bit better than SUI's token-wise, as 60% of the total supply has already been unlocked.
* APT (Aptos): a similar release will interest another layer 1, as 4.5 million APT will be released on October 12th, equal to 1.9% of the max supply.
* AXS (Axie Infinity): is probably one of the most inflationary tokens in crypto and on October 20th will see another big release of 15 million AXS, accounting for 11% of the total supply.
* OP (Optimism): last but not least, on October 30th, Optimism will unlock 24 million tokens, aka the 3% of the max supply.
I think that just by looking at these numbers and doing some quick calculation, it appears clear that some project has pretty complicated tokenomics. So, these chains and platforms will always need a huge user base in order to combat the unlocks and make the tokens rise. While Ethereum has a potentially infinite supply, it's built so that the circulating supply will always be contained by constant burns, as long as the network is used (a condition that I don't see changing anytime soon). So, in addition to first-mover advantage, Ethereum seems to have more mechanisms that keep inflation low, unlike its competitors.
Do you hold any of these tokens? Are you worried about their tokenomics or do you think that their use cases and popularity will combat those unlocks?

George Wolfgang Cleve (July 9, 1936 – August 27, 2015) was an Austrian-born American conductor. He was best known for his interpretation of Mozart.
Life
Born in Vienna, the son of Felix Cleve (born Feb. 8th, 1890 in Vienna) and the former Melitta Monheit, the family emigrated from Austria in 1938 after the Anschluss, and settled in New York City in 1940. Cleve studied at The High School of Music & Art and the Mannes College of Music. He was a student of Leonard Bernstein, George Szell and Pierre Monteux. Monteux was the one who suggested Cleve as a substitute conductor for a concert at the Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco, in 1960, which marked Cleve's professional debut.
Career
Cleve was music director of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra from 1968-1970. He subsequently served as music director of the San Jose Symphony from 1972 to 1992. He was respected, but also demanding, as musicians noted:
* 'Notorious for his moods and angry outbursts during rehearsals, Cleve could offend his players. Gilda Mazzanti, a violinist, once said, "There were many pieces that we played with clenched teeth; if you only knew what we sometimes went through."
* Wendell Rider, the orchestra's principal horn during those years, agreed that Cleve "was over the edge at times. But as far as the conducting -- it was inspiring," he said Thursday. "There was always a commitment to finding the deepest meaning of the piece. He had that channel going."'
* "Mr. Cleve had a long-standing reputation as a tempestuous, even tyrannical, collaborator, but that was a function of his high standards, [violinist Robin] Hansen said. 'He was difficult, but he was harder on himself than on anyone. He was all about integrity, and if you had that, then you were a colleague.'"
In 1974, Cleve co-founded the Midsummer Mozart Festival with Robert Hubbard and Wendell Rider, and served as its artistic leader from its founding until his death. In New York City, Cleve first conducted at the Mostly Mozart Festival in 1975 and at New York City Ballet in 2000, and subsequently appeared regularly with both organisations as a guest conductor.
Death
Cleve died at the age of 79 in Berkeley, California, from liver failure. He married Maria Tamburrino, a flutist, in 1986. He also has a son, Jeremiah Wiggins, from a previous relationship. His wife, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter survive him. | WIKI |
Puyi was crowned Emperor of China in 1908, aged just 2 years and 10 months. After less than four years of regency rule, Puyi was forced to abdicate in 1912, bringing to an end over 2,100 years of imperial rule in China.
The abdication came as a surprise to many: China’s imperial tradition had endured for millennia, but its emperors had become somewhat complacent. And in the early 20th century, decades of gentle unrest toppled over into a full-scale revolution that marked the end of China’s Qing dynasty.
After the fall of the Qing, Puyi spent most of the rest of his adult life as a pawn, manipulated by assorted powers in pursuit of their own ends because of his birthright. By 1959, Puyi had well and truly fallen from grace: he worked as a street sweeper in Beijing, a citizen with no formal titles, perks or honours.
Here’s the story of Puyi, the infant emperor who became the last Qing dynasty ruler of China.
The infant emperor
Puyi became emperor in November 1908, following the death of his half-uncle, Guangxu Emperor. Aged just 2 years and 10 months, Puyi was forcibly removed from his family and taken to the Forbidden City in Beijing – the home of Imperial China’s palace and powerholders – by a procession of officials and eunuchs. Only his wet nurse was allowed to travel with him the entire journey.
The infant was crowned on 2 December 1908: unsurprisingly, he quickly became spoilt as his every whim was kowtowed to. Palace staff were unable to discipline him because of the rigid hierarchies of palace life. He became cruel, taking pleasure in having his eunuchs whipped regularly and firing air gun pellets at whoever he wished.
When Puyi turned 8, his wet nurse was forced to leave the palace, and his parents became virtual strangers, their rare visits constrained by stifling imperial etiquette. Instead, Puyi was forced to visit his five ‘mothers’ – former imperial concubines – to report on his progress. He received only the most basic of educations in the standard Confucian classics.
In October 1911, the army garrison in Wuhan mutinied, igniting a wider revolt which called for the removal of the Qing Dynasty. For centuries, China’s powerholders had ruled by the concept of the Mandate of Heaven – a philosophical idea comparable to the European concept of the ‘divine right to rule’ – which painted the sovereign’s absolute power as a gift from heaven or God.
But during the unrest of the early 20th century, known as the 1911 Revolution or the Xinhai Revolution, many Chinese citizens believed that the Mandate of Heaven had been, or must be, withdrawn. The unrest called for nationalist, democratic policies over imperial rule.
Puyi was forced to abdicate in response to the 1911 Revolution but was allowed to retain his title, continue to live in his palace, receive an annual subsidy and was to be treated like a foreign monarch or dignitary. His new prime minister, Yuan Shikai, brokered the deal: perhaps unsurprisingly, it was favourable for the former emperor because of ulterior motives. Yuan had planned to eventually install himself as emperor of a new dynasty, but popular opinion against this plan prevented him from ever managing to do this properly.
Puyi was briefly restored to his throne as part of the Manchu Restoration in 1919, but remained in power for just 12 days before republican troops overthrew the royalists.
Finding a place in the world
The teenage Puyi was given an English tutor, Sir Reginald Johnston, to teach him more about China’s place in the world, as well as to school him in English, political science, constitutional science and history. Johnston was one of the few people who had any influence over Puyi and encouraged him to widen his horizons and question his self-absorption and acceptance of the status quo. Puyi even began to aspire to study at Oxford, Johnston’s alma mater.
In 1922, it was decided Puyi should be married: he was given photographs of potential brides and told to pick one. His first choice was rejected as only being suitable to be a concubine. His second choice was the teenage daughter of one of Manchuria’s richest aristocrats, Gobulo Wanrong. The pair were betrothed in March 1922 and married that autumn. The first time the teenagers met was at their wedding.
Despite Johnston’s best attempts, Puyi became a vain, easily influenced adult. Visiting foreign dignitaries viewed Puyi as malleable and potentially a useful figure to manipulate for their own interests. In 1924, a coup saw Beijing seized and Puyi’s imperial titles abolished, reducing him to a mere private citizen. Puyi fell in with the Japanese Legation (essentially the Japanese embassy in China), whose inhabitants were sympathetic to his cause, and moved from Beijing to neighbouring Tianjin.
Puyi’s birthright meant he was of great interest to foreign powers: he was courted by the Chinese warlord General Zhang Zongchang, as well as Russian and Japanese powers, all of whom flattered him and promised that they could facilitate the restoration of the Qing dynasty. He and his wife, Wanrong, lived a luxurious life amongst the cosmopolitan elite of the city: bored and restless, they both frittered away huge amounts of money and Wanrong became addicted to opium.
Foolishly manipulated by the Japanese, Puyi travelled to Manchuria in 1931, hoping to be installed as head of state by imperial Japan. He was installed as a puppet ruler, dubbed the ‘Chief Executive’ rather than granted the imperial throne he had been promised. In 1932, he became the emperor of the puppet state Manchukuo, seemingly with little understanding of the complex political situation occurring in the region at the time, or realising the state was simply a colonial tool of Japan.
Puyi survived the duration of World War Two as Emperor of Manchukuo, fleeing only when the Red Army arrived in Manchuria and it became apparent all hope was lost. He abdicated on 16 August 1945, declaring Manchukuo to once again be part of China. He fled in vain: he was captured by the Soviets who refused repeated requests to have him extradited, probably saving his life in the process.
He subsequently testified at the Tokyo War Trials in an attempt to defend himself, declaring he had never willingly taken up the mantle of Emperor of Manchukuo. Those present declared he was “prepared to go to any lengths to save his skin”. He was eventually repatriated to China in 1949 after negotiations between the Soviet Union and China.
Puyi spent 10 years in a military holding facility and underwent something of an epiphany in this period: he had to learn to do basic tasks for the first time and finally realised the true damage done by the Japanese in his name, learning about the horrors of the war and Japanese atrocities.
He was released from prison to live a simple life in Beijing, where he worked as a street sweeper and vocally supported the new communist regime, giving press conferences to the media in support of the CCP’s policies.
Full of regret for the pain and suffering he had inadvertently caused, his kindness and humility were renowned: he repeatedly told people “yesterday’s Puyi is the enemy of today’s Puyi”. In an autobiography, published with the permission of the Communist Party, he declared he regretted his testimony at the war tribunal, admitting he had covered up his crimes to protect himself. He died in 1967 from a combination of kidney cancer and heart disease. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Stellar Distributions Around a Supermassive Black Hole: Strong Segregation Regime Revisited
Itai Linial, Re'em Sari
arXiv:2206.14817
Submitted on 29 June 2022
Abstract
We present a new analytical solution to the steady-state distribution of stars close to a central supermassive black hole of mass M in the center of a galaxy. Assuming a continuous mass function of the form dN/dmmγ, stars with a specific orbital energy x=GM/rv2/2 are scattered primarily by stars of mass md(x)x5/(4γ+10) that dominate the scattering of both lighter and heavier species at that energy. Stars of mass md(x) are exponentially rare at energies lower than x, and follow a density profile n(x)x3/2 at energies xx. Our solution predicts a negligible flow of stars through energy space for all mass species, similarly to the conclusions of Bahcall & Wolf (1977), but in contrast to the assumptions of Alexander & Hopman (2009). This is the first analytic solution which smoothly transitions between regimes where different stellar masses dominate the scattering.

Fauske
or is a municipality located in Nordland county, Norway. It is part of the traditional district of Salten. The administrative centre of the municipality is the town of Fauske. Some of the villages in Fauske include Nystad, Venset, Straumsnes, and Sulitjelma.
The municipality borders Sweden in the east and the municipalities of Sørfold to the north, Bodø to the west, and Saltdal to the southeast. The town is located on the northern shore of Skjerstad Fjord.
The 1197 km2 municipality is the 90th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Fauske is the 118th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 9,572. The municipality's population density is 8.6 PD/km2 and its population has increased by 0.6% over the previous 10-year period.
General information
The municipality was established on 1 January 1905 when the municipality of Skjerstad was divided into Skjerstad (population: 1,709) in the west and Fauske (population: 4,646) in the east. The municipal borders haven't changed since that time. In 1998, the municipality declared township for its administrative centre.
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Fauske farm (Fauskar) since the first Fauske Church was built there in 1867. The name is the plural form of fauskr which means "old and rotten tree".
On 15 April 2016, the national government approved a resolution to add a co-equal, official Sami language name for the municipality: Fuossko. The spelling of the Sami language name changes depending on how it is used. It is called Fuossko when it is spelled alone, but it is Fuosko suohkan when using the Sami language equivalent to "Fauske municipality".
Coat of arms
The coat of arms was granted on 22 July 1988. The official blazon is "Argent, a reef knot gules" (I sølv en liggende rød båtmannsknute). This means the arms have a field (background) that has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The charge is a red reef knot. It was chosen to represent Fauske as a center of commerce and transportation for the region. The arms were designed by Stein Davidsen.
Churches
The Church of Norway has three parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Fauske. It is part of the Salten prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.
Nature
There are two large glaciers in Fauske: Blåmannsisen and the Sulitjelma Glacier; covering about 14% of the municipality. The highest mountain is Suliskongen at 1907 m above sea level. There are many lakes in the municipality, such as Blåmannsisvatnet, Kjelvatnet, Låmivatnet, Langvatnet, Muorkkejávrre, Nedrevatnet, Øvrevatnet, and Vuolep Sårjåsjávrre.
Junkerdal National Park and Sjunkhatten National Park are partly located in Fauske. Sulitjelma, located 44 km by road east of Fauske, is a good starting point for hiking in the mountains and hikes to the glaciers. There are several DNT lodges in this area.
There are many nature reserves in the municipality, such as Veten nature reserve with calcareous pine forest and a rich understory and Fauskeeidet wetland area with rich bird life and observation tower.
There are several caves in the municipality. The fairly easy accessible Svarthamarhola (Svarthamar cave) is one of the largest caves in northern Europe, also hosting one of the world's most northerly bat colonies.
Climate
Fauske is located inside the Arctic Circle and has 24 hours of daylight from early May to the beginning of August, with midnight sun from the beginning of June to the second week of July. The area nearly has polar night for part of December because it has sunrise at 11 am and sunset before noon. Average 24-hour temperatures in Fauske is below freezing from mid-November to the last part of March, but the ice-free Skjerstad Fjord moderates winter temperatures. Summer starts in June with moderate summer temperatures lasting until early September.
Precipitation is heaviest from September to December (usually as snow in December); average annual precipitation is 1040 mm. Daytime temperatures are usually significantly warmer than the 24-hr average from March to September, while there is very little diurnal temperature variation from November to early February as the sun is very low or below the horizon all day. However, temperatures varies considerably with the weather; there might be cool westerly winds with temperatures of 10 C and rain both night and day in July, and the next day might be sunny with daytime temperature reaching 25 C. Southwesterly winds can bring thaws anytime in winter, but not in the mountains, which usually get large amounts of snow in winter—the main reason for the large glaciers and the hydropower in the area.
Government
All municipalities in Norway are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor is indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council. The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the Salten og Lofoten District Court and the Hålogaland Court of Appeal.
Municipal council
The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Fauske is made up of 27 representatives that are elected to four year terms. The tables below show the current and historical composition of the council by political party.

Economy
Manufacturing, mining and working in quarries employs 9% of the work force (as of 2021). Several marble quarries are located in the municipality. The marble is exported to many countries, where it can be observed in many monumental buildings, among them the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. There are also dolomite quarries in Fauske, as well as some agriculture. Case work for permission for renewed mining in Sulitjelma, has been going on since the early 2010s; mining there was discontinued in 1991.
Salten Kraftsamband and Fauske Lysverk are important employers in Fauske. The town is a commercial centre for parts of the inland areas of Salten, and has hotel and camping facilities. FK Fauske/Sprint is the local soccer team. Historically, mining in Sulitjelma was very important.
Transportation
The Nordland Line passes through the municipality, reaching Bodø west of Fauske. Travellers going further north usually leave the train in Fauske, and travel by express bus to Narvik or further, using European route E6 which goes through the center of Fauske. The E6 from Mo i Rana north to Fauske crosses over the Saltfjellet mountains, and the E6 further north to Narvik also goes through very rugged terrain; these are among the most scenic drives in Norway, although there are many tunnels in the Sørfold area. The Norwegian national road Rv 80 to Bodø, about 62 km to the west, departs from E6 in the centre of Fauske.
The Norwegian County Road 830 runs from the town of Fauske to the east to the village of Sulitjelma. The road passes through several tunnels: Grønnlifjell Tunnel, Hårskolten Tunnel, Sjønståfjell Tunnel, and Stokkviknakken Tunnel. The road follows the old Sulitjelma Line railroad.

I own that I felt myself obliged to draw a very opposite conclusion from the facts advanced in Dr. Price's two volumes. I had for some time been aware, that population and food, increased in different ratios; and a vague opinion had been floating in my mind, that they could only be kept equal by some species of misery or vice; but the perusal of Dr. Price's two volumes of Observations, after that opinion had been conceived, raised it at once to conviction.

consideration, a pretty and fanciful surrounding is by no means to be despised.
Royal Academicians really do little in this branch of art. Though both Mr. Poynter and Mr. Sant have applied their brushes in this direction, and Sir John Millais has before now signified his willingness to accept a commission, it is presumed that R.A.'s prefer not to have their work confined to the narrow limits of a birthday card. An R.A. could ask a couple of hundred pounds for a design, and get it. Mr. Alma Tadema, when asked what he would charge to paint a pair of cards, replied—£600. Ordinary designs fetch from three to six guineas, though a distinctly original and novel idea, be it only in the shape of a score of splashes from the brush, is worth from ten to fifteen guineas.
Both the Princess Louise and Princess Beatrice have done some really artistic work, but their efforts have not been made public—save in the instance of the Princess Beatrice, whose Birthday Book is well known. Cards designed by Royalty have passed only between members of the Royal Family. They are very simple and picturesque, flowers and effective landscapes with mountain scenery figuring prominently. It is indisputable that women excel in such designs. Theirs seems to be a light, airy, graceful, and almost fascinating touch; there appears to be no effort—they seem only to play with the brush, though with delightful results. Amongst those ladies who are just now contributing excellent work might be mentioned the Baroness Marie Von Beckendorf, a German lady, whose flowers are delicate and fanciful to a degree. Miss Bertha Maguire is also gifted in the way of flower-painting, whilst Miss Annie Simpson paints many an exquisite blossom combined with charming landscape.

Roy Moore’s wife: 'One of our attorneys is a Jew'
The wife of embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore fought back against accusations that her husband doesn't support blacks or Jews, saying at one point that one of their attorneys "is a Jew." Speaking at a campaign rally Monday night in Midland City, Alabama, Kayla Moore pointed out that her husband appointed the first black marshal to the state Supreme Court. She said they also have many friends who are black. But she raised the most eyebrows in her defense against claims that her husband, who's a Republican, is anti-Semitic. "Well, one of our attorneys is a Jew," Kayla Moore said. "We have very close friends who are Jewish and rabbis." Roy Moore's campaign has been rocked by accusations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls when he was in his 30s. He's running against Democrat Doug Jones in Tuesday's special election. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

What is Browser Sandboxing?
By The Nerdy Geek, Community Contributor -
With the rising popularity of web applications, there has also been an increase in security breaches, which is why CyberSecurity has become an essential part of the software development process. Several measures like Security Testing are being taken to secure user data and privacy. Sandboxing is necessary to ensure a website’s and computer resources’ security. It isolates programs, preventing malicious or malfunctioning programs from damaging the rest of our computers.
To relate better, imagine a real-life sandbox. It is a set of walls that keeps all the sand inside, giving a designated space to play in and protecting the sand from the outside environment. Similarly, Browser Sandbox protects all user activities against malicious breaches, protecting the computer resources against external threats.
What is Sandboxing?
Sandboxing is the practice where an application, a web browser, or a piece of code is isolated inside a safe environment against any external security threat. The idea of sandboxing is to enhance security.
Like the physical sandbox at a playground where kids can create anything they want within the boundary without making a mess elsewhere, the application code is free to execute within a restricted environment in limited contact with the external environment.
For example, in a sandbox, JavaScript can add and modify elements on the page but might be restricted from accessing an external JSON file. This is because of a sandbox feature called same-origin.
Organizations leverage sandboxing in different ways, such as Application Sandboxing, Web Browser Sandboxing, and Security Sandboxing.
What is an online Browser Sandbox?
An online browser sandbox is a virtualized and isolated environment that allows users to run and test web applications or execute potentially unsafe code within a controlled setting.
• It provides a secure and separate space for users to experiment, evaluate, or develop software without the risk of damaging their computer systems or compromising their privacy and security.
• The primary purpose of an online browser sandbox is to provide a controlled environment for running untrusted code, such as JavaScript applications or plugins, in a way that minimizes potential risks.
• Developers can use a sandbox to test their code in different browser versions or configurations.
What are the different types of Sandboxing?
Sandboxing can be classified into three different types:
1. Application Sandbox: An application sandbox allows running untrusted software in a safe location and observing it to detect malicious components.
2. Web Browser Sandbox: A web browser sandbox allows running web applications in isolated environments to prevent browser-based malware from spreading to the network.
3. Security Sandbox: A security sandbox lets you observe and analyze threats in an isolated, safe environment.
Why is Sandboxing Essential?
Sandbox provides a tightly controlled environment for programs to run. In Sandboxing, the scope of action for a code is limited, providing it just the permissions it needs to function without adding additional permissions that could be abused.
For example, a web browser essentially runs web pages we visit in a sandbox. They’re restricted to running in our browser and accessing a limited set of resources — they can’t view our webcam without permission or read our computer’s local files. If the websites visited weren’t sandboxed and isolated from the rest of the system, then visiting any malicious website would be as bad as installing a virus directly.
Use cases for Sandbox Browser
There are several use cases for sandbox browsers. Here are a few examples:
1. Web Development and Testing: Developers can ensure their code functions correctly across different browsers, operating systems, and configurations without affecting their local machines.
2. Security and Malware Analysis: By running suspicious elements within a sandboxed environment, they can observe their behavior and identify malicious activities.
3. Online Privacy and Security: Sandbox browsers can be used by individuals concerned about online privacy and security to try out new software without exposing their data or risking malware infections.
What is Browser Sandboxing?
Browser Sandboxing is a security model that physically isolates Internet users’ browsing activity from the infrastructure, local computers, and networks. There are two main browser isolation techniques:
• Local browser isolation works by running the browser in a container or virtual machine.
• Remote browser isolation involves running a browser on an organization-hosted or cloud-based server such as BrowserStack, allowing users to browse web applications in a cloud-based environment.
Local Browser Isolation: Virtual Browser
Virtual browsers run the websites in an isolated environment, as a protective barrier between external threats on web and user machines connected to a corporate network. In such as case, if the user visits any malicious site or downloads a malicious file, these threats cannot reach the endpoint.
Virtual browsers significantly improve security and allow organizations to leverage old and unsupported versions of browsers.
Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)
Remote browser Isolation is sandboxing that can be hosted over the cloud by an organization or by third-party providers. As users browse the Internet, the remote server starts a browser in a container to keep it safe from the external environment.
Remote isolation is expensive as it requires the allocation of resources for running a large volume of containerized browsers. But using third-party providers can be cost-effective.

Sandboxing with different browsers
Most browsers already have a sandbox to enhance your computer protection. Let’s see how it differs regarding different types of web browsers.
Firefox Sandbox
To protect your computer against any malicious activity, Firefox runs any untrusted code in a sandbox. Firefox runs the code in two parts i.e. the Parent and the Child processes. While browsing the internet, all the untrusted processes are run in the Firefox sandbox.
This activity helps limit the contamination from any malware in case any suspicious activity occurs. The Parent part of the code mediates between the computer resources and the child processes run in the Sandbox. This way, the computer resources are not fully exposed to the code.
However, users can alter the strictness or ease of the sandboxing level in Firefox. Firefox is least restrictive when the Sandbox runs at Level 0, while at level 2, it stands balanced. At level 3, Firefox behaves to be very restrictive. To check the Sandboxing level of Firefox, enter the following command in the address bar of Firefox.
about:config
This returns the Firefox configurable variables on the webpage. Upon this, press CTRL+F when the cursor is placed on the config page. Enter the following command in the Find input field box.
security.sandbox.content.level
This function returns the value of the current sandboxing level of Firefox.
Chromium Browser Sandbox
Chromium Browser Sandbox is used by both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers. It is similar to that of Firefox Browser Sandbox.
It also runs in two parts just as Firefox Sandbox. These parts run the broker process and the target process of the code. While, the parent process here, is termed as broker process, the child processes are named as target processes. All codes that are run by the target processes run within the sandbox. The broker process acts as a mediator between the child process and computer resources to maintain the required supply of the resources.
Microsoft Edge Sandbox
Starting the Windows 10 Sandbox will give you a new desktop with only Recycle Bin and Edge shortcuts. It shows Start Menu and other icons. However, these icons don’t work in the sandboxed environment. Opening them in the main Windows 10 instead of sandboxed Windows 10 is recommended.
Run Edge from the sandboxed Windows 10 environment to ensure maximum browsing security. Once the sandbox is closed, no one can trace your browsing activities. However, your ISP might create a log of the activities, but no one can check the actions performed using Edge in the sandbox. If any website downloads malware to your system, the malware too will disappear upon closing the sandbox.
Note: In Windows 10 Pro and above editions, you can use Windows Sandbox for running Microsoft Edge.
How to turn off Google Chrome Sandbox?
To turn off the Google Chrome Sandbox, right-click on its icon. Click on Properties and then on the Shortcut tab in the dialog box.
Add the following to the app path shown in the Target:
--no-sandbox
Post this, whenever you click the Chrome icon, it will load Chrome without a sandbox.
Browser Sandboxing using third-party tools
To sandbox a website using third-party tools such as Sandboxie is possible without the browser.. Just turn on the sandbox program being used, and you can install the browsers when the sandbox is created. It is essential to know that once the sandboxing is closed, all the contents of the sandbox are cleared.
Hence, if you want to use Firefox again in a sandbox, you must create and install a sandbox.
Beyond Browser Sandboxing: Test on Secured Real Device Cloud
However, one must understand that using a sandboxed environment for browsers won’t make it 100% safe. Some browser parts may extend beyond the sandbox, mainly if they still use Flash and ActiveX elements. These can still be compromised, and cybercriminals can access the computers. But, it is essential to adopt the best possible ways to safeguard applications, and Sandboxing is one of those ways.
• Using a secure Real Device Cloud for testing web applications is a way to ensure complete security.
• BrowserStack’s Real Device Cloud follows standard security protocols and compliances like SOC2 Type2, where external attacks cannot compromise the web application.
• Besides, one can test the applications on all the browsers versions under real user conditions on devices across different platforms.
Let’s see an example of testing a web application, gmail.com, through BrowserStack Live.
• Go to BrowserStack Live and Sign in.
• Select your desired OS and browser. With BrowserStack Live, you can run your tests across iOS, Android, Windows, etc., and choose any available browser versions. In this case, we’ll opt for Windows 10 and Chrome Browser of the latest version.
sandbox browser
• On selecting the OS and browser type, you will see a screen as shown below.
sandboxed web browser
• Once the session starts, you can use it as a standard browser.
• Enter the URL of the application you want to test under a secured browser
• You can also use toolbar options to switch the browser, change the resolution, or minimize it.

-- Four German States Had 2011 Budget Surplus, Handelsblatt Says
Just four of Germany ’s 16 states
showed a budget surplus last year even as pressure rises on
regional governments to cut spending to fulfill constitutional
“debt brake” constraints, the Handelsblatt reported. Bavaria, Brandenburg, Saxony and Mecklenburg-West Pomerania
had surpluses while the country’s most populous state, North-
Rhine Westphalia, had the biggest deficit at 2.9 billion euros
($3.8 billion), the newspaper said. Since 2010, the federal government and states have pledged
to rein in spending to achieve a balanced budget of their
composite accounts by 2016. To contact the reporter on this story:

FileMaker freezes on ethernet LAN
I'm running FMP over a small LAN (10BT). The host machine periodically freezes with a network arrow cursor or coffee cup and has to be rebooted. Seems to occur most often when a client queries the host with a find request, but at other times as well. Definitely more frequent than in the past but I can't tie it to any changes made.
In an attempt to fix, I've clean-installed systems 8.6 on host and suspect client (also rebuilt desktops, zapped PRAMs, checked with Norton and Disk First Aid) and reinstalled FMP 4 upgraded to 4.0v2.
Host is Performa 6400, sufficient RAM and disk space, Farallon 10/100BT NIC. Primary client is same with Sonnet G3 240 upgrade and recent extension (1.4, I think.) Hub is 5 port 10BT by Dlink.
Also on the LAN is a funky collection of older hardware, but previously ran well. The problem remains when all these are powered down: Quadra660AV, classic networking, sys 7.5.x running LaserWriter Bridge for an HP4MP printer, a Quadra 475, Asante LocalTalk adapter for a StylewriterII with LocalTalk card (don't ask...)

Who is Participating?
brianmaasConnect With a Mentor Commented:
I don't know if you still need an answer to this, but I had this same type of problem having clients connect to a FileMaker Server.
My solution was to have the clients use TCP/IP protocol instead of Appletalk.
Another thing to try is make sure the host computer does NOT have File Sharing on. Having the clients use File:Open:Hosts is a better way to share the file.

GlickmanAuthor Commented:
What I hadn't noticed was that the problem became much worse when first the host and then the primary client were upgraded to sys 8.6, which made things more unstable, rather than better. The solution to this particular problem came with upgrading the Farallon drivers to 2.2.1 for 8.6 compatibility.
The lesson (again) is: newer system software isn't necessarily better.

100 was promising, since he had not yet felt the "thorn of the flesh." It is my pious opinion that such a vow is counted by God as foolish and void, and that the fathers of the monasteries should be forbidden by a general edict of the Church to receive a man before his twentieth, or at least his eighteenth, year, and girls before their fifteenth or sixteenth, if we are really concerned about the care of souls.
It is also a great piece of boldness, in commuting or remitting vows, to impose what they call "a better work." In the eyes of God there is no difference in works, and He judges works not according to their number or greatness, but according to the disposition of the doer; moreover, "the Lord is the weigher of spirits," as the Scripture says, and He often prefers the manual labor of the poor artisan to the fasting and prayer of the priest, of which we find an illustration in St. Anthony and the shoemaker of Alexandria. Since these things are so, who shall be so bold and presumptuous as to commute a vow into some "better work"? But these things will have to be spoken of elsewhere, for here we have undertaken to speak of confession only as it concerns the Commandments of God, for the quieting and composing of consciences which are troubled by scruples.
I shall add but one thing. There are many who set perilous snares for married folk, especially in case of incest; and when any one (for these things can happen, nay, alas! they do happen) has defiled the sister of his wife, or his mother-in-law, or one related to him in any degree of consanguinity, they at once deprive him of the right to pay the debt of matrimony, and nevertheless they suffer him not, nay, they forbid him, to desert his wife's bed. What monstrous thing is this? What new remedy for sin? What sort of satisfaction for sin? Does it not show how these tyrants make laws for other men's infirmity and indulge their own? Show me the law-giver, however | WIKI |
Other, Like Me: The Oral History of COUM Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle
Other, Like Me: The Oral History of COUM Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle, also shorter titled Other, Like Me, is a 2020 American-British documentary film on the music and art groups Throbbing Gristle and COUM Transmissions, which covers the history of both projects in archival film footage and photos and interviews with their members.
Cast
* Genesis P-Orridge
* Cosey Fanni Tutti
* Les Maull
* John Lacey
* Spydee Gasmantell
* Foxtrot Echo
* Peter Christopherson
* Chris Carter
Production and release
Other, Like Me was produced by BBC Television and co-director Hed's production company Willow Glen Films. It screened at various film festivals, including the IndieLisboa International Independent Film Festival, Portugal, and the Athens International Film Festival in 2020, and the CPH:DOX festival and the Chicago Underground Film Festival in 2021. A one-hour long version of the film was shown on BBC Four on 5 December 2021.
Reception
Reviewing Other, Like Me for Buzz Magazine, Ben Woolhead noted the lack of an in-depth observation of gender politics in alternative culture, seeing ongoing gender and social divisions in Cosey Fanni Tutti's recounts of her being the only woman in COUM. Also, he missed an observation of COUM's and Throbbing Gristle's shock tactics, which included the repeated usage of national socialist iconography, which in his eyes paved the way for the blurring of the "lines between provocative art and outright political incitement" in the early 1980s experimental noise scene.
Writing for German newspaper taz, Andreas Hartmann found a "basically exciting" story in the formation of industrial music pioneers Throbbing Gristle out of the artist collective COUM, but criticised the lack of an outer perspective, as the film's only interview partners are the people directly involved. Reviewing the film again one year later in 2021, his judgement was more positive, calling it a long overdue, "really good introduction" to Throbbing Gristle's work, which featured excellent footage and emphasised Cosey Fanni Tutti's contribution to the band's radical aesthetics.
John Aizlewood of Radio Times commented that the film painted "a sometimes graphic picture of an extraordinary artistic phenomenon". | WIKI |

Pulmonary embolism
04 May 2024
Pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary embolism is a serious and potentially life-threatening medical condition that occurs when a blood clot travels from another part of the body and lodges in the pulmonary artery, blocking blood flow to the lungs. Pulmonary embolism can cause a range of symptoms, including shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing, and fatigue. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, including heart failure and even death.
Pulmonary embolism can be caused by a number of factors, including prolonged periods of inactivity, surgery, trauma, certain medical conditions such as cancer or heart failure, and the use of certain medications such as birth control pills. The risk of pulmonary embolism increases with age, and individuals with a family history of the condition are also at increased risk.
Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism can be challenging, as many of the symptoms are nonspecific and can be mistaken for other conditions. However, there are several tests that can help identify the presence of a blood clot, including blood tests, imaging tests such as a CT scan or ultrasound, and pulmonary function tests.
Treatment of pulmonary embolism typically involves the use of blood thinners to dissolve the clot and prevent further clots from forming. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the clot or repair any damage to the lung tissue. It is important for individuals with pulmonary embolism to receive prompt medical treatment to prevent the development of complications and improve their chances of a successful recovery.
Prevention of pulmonary embolism involves managing risk factors such as obesity, smoking, and prolonged periods of inactivity. Individuals who are at high risk of developing the condition may be advised to take blood-thinning medications or wear compression stockings to improve circulation in the legs.
While pulmonary embolism can be a serious and potentially life-threatening condition, it is important to remember that with prompt medical treatment and appropriate management of risk factors, individuals can achieve a successful recovery and reduce the risk of complications. It is essential to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms of pulmonary embolism or have any concerns about your risk of developing the condition.
In conclusion, pulmonary embolism is a serious medical condition that can lead to severe complications if left untreated. Understanding the risk factors, symptoms, and treatment options for pulmonary embolism is essential for managing the condition and reducing the risk of complications. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing underlying medical conditions, and seeking prompt medical attention if symptoms occur can help individuals prevent and manage pulmonary embolism, and ultimately achieve better health outcomes. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Food for Thought: Are You Eating for Peak Performance?
author - sofia pereira nutrition
Ultimate tournaments are a great part of our sport, and most of us love getting on the road with our team, playing lots of ultimate, hanging out with other players, team dinners, and going to the tournament parties. But tournaments, as multi-day sport events, can be challenging on the body and our energy reserves. These days are exhausting and, as you know, can often take days to recuperate from.
What you eat before and during tournaments or other multi-day events like weekend-long trainings, or tryouts, can make a big difference in how you feel and perform and in speeding up post-event recuperation time. To that end, I’ve collated useful nutritional tips on how to prepare for tournaments, as well as shared with you some of the science on pre-tournament nutrition and athletic performance.
What you eat two days before counts!
Manipulating nutrition and exercise in the hours and days prior to an important event helps you have adequate muscle glycogen stores, which in turn aids performance. Glycogen (a multi-branched polysaccharide of glucose) is how we store carbohydrates in our muscles and livers. Typically, in the absence of muscle damage, glycogen stores are normalized within 24h of reduced training and adequate fuel intake.
Due to the need for long-duration performance at tournaments, the science shows that higher glycogen stores may be beneficial. This can be achieved by a technique known as carbohydrate loading. The timing and amount of carbs needed for loading varies between individuals and energetic needs, but for trained athletes, carb loading can be achieved by extending the period of a carbohydrate-rich diet and tapering training for 48h prior to the event.
Carbohydrate fueling and loading guidelines.
This table, re-printed from Nutrition and Athletic Performance, is intended for elite athletes. Amounts should be adjusted to your level of activity.
In practice, for elite athletes, carb loading is achieved by eating 40-46 calories of carbs per kilogram of body weight for every 24 hours during the 1.5 to 2 days prior to the event. There are lots of wholesome high carb foods that you can eat, such as some fruits, whole grains, pasta, energy bars, and beans. Look at the figure to visualize 50 grams of carbs in some common high-carbohydrate foods.
Lately, there has been a lot of talk about the benefits of doing a depletion phase prior to increasing carbs, which means eating very little carbs for 3 days before loading. However, the science shows that well-trained endurance athletes can achieve glycogen super-compensation without the need for the depletion phase prior to loading. Also, carbs are stored in our bodies associated with water (2 to 3g of water for every g of glycogen), which can weigh you down. The best is always to try different approaches and to see what fits you best… but remember not to experiment just prior or during an important event.
The last 24 hours – think comfort!
Another important goal before tournaments is to ensure gut comfort throughout the event and avoid feelings of hunger or discomfort and gastrointestinal upsets. The day before the tournament, opt for foods with low-fat, low-fiber, and low–moderate protein content, as these are easier to digest and less likely to cause gastrointestinal problems. If you suffer from pre-event nerves or are crazy busy before the event and have no time to think of food, you may find that liquid meal supplements are useful.
Want to know more?
We’ve concluded that nutrition is key to your health and for further adaptation to exercise. This is particularly relevant in the case of competitive events that span many days. The nutrition guides in the Ultimate Athlete Project have a lot more detail on what to eat during tournaments to help with nutritional support. In the end, each individual athlete should choose a strategy that suits their situation and their past experiences, which can be fine-tuned with further experimentation.
As you already know, it is what you do and eat most of the time that counts. That said, the week before tournaments, tweaks to your food and daily routines can help. Besides tapering your training load and getting a good night’s sleep, eat wholesome foods rich in carbohydrates that that you are familiar with. Leave experimentation and challenges around food and exercise to other times.

\details{
If \code{\link{scone}} was run with \code{return_norm="in_memory"},
this function simply retrieves the normalized data from the \code{assays}
slote of \code{object}.
If \code{\link{scone}} was run with \code{return_norm="hdf5"}, this
function will read the normalized matrix from the specified hdf5 file.
If \code{\link{scone}} was run with \code{return_norm="no"}, this
function will compute the normalized matrix on the fly.
The numeric method will always return the normalization
corresponding to row \code{method} of the \code{scone_params} slot. This
means that if \code{\link{scone}} was run with \code{eval=TRUE},
\code{get_normalized(x, 1)} will return the top ranked method. If
\code{\link{scone}} was run with \code{eval=FALSE},
\code{get_normalized(x,1)} will return the first normalization
in the order saved by scone.

USS Peosta
USS Peosta—also known as "Tinclad" # 36—was a steamboat acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. Peosta was outfitted as an armed gunboat, with heavy guns for battles at sea, and large howitzers for shore bombardment. She served on the rivers and other waterways of the Confederate States of America enforcing the Union blockade on the South.
Service history
Peosta, a side-wheel wooden gunboat, was built in 1857 at Cincinnati, Ohio, for civilian employment. She was purchased at Dubuque, Iowa, 13 June 1863; fitted out at Cairo, Illinois, and commissioned 2 October 1863, Lt. Thomas E. Smith in command. Assigned to the Naval forces on the Tennessee River, Peosta departed Cairo 28 October and arrived at Paducah, Kentucky, 3 November. Remaining on the Tennessee River throughout the Civil War, she cruised between Paducah and Eastport, Mississippi, to protect Union shipping and support Union Army activities. In the spring of 1864 she assisted in halting a Confederate land and river offensive against Paducah as they moved through Union lines to repossess defenses along the river. On 25 March 1864, she engaged Confederate troops at Paducah. Remaining on the Tennessee River into June 1865 she arrived at Mound City, Illinois, on the 5th for inactivation. On 7 August 1865 she decommissioned and 10 days later was sold to John W. Waggoner. She retained her name in postwar merchant service and burned at Memphis, Tennessee, on 25 December 1870. | WIKI |

Another and exhaustive search of the sand-pit failed to reveal the Psammead, so the children went back to the house slowly and sadly.
"I don't care," said Anthea stoutly, "we'll tell mother the truth, and she'll give back the jewels—and make everything all right."
"Do you think so?" said Cyril slowly. "Do you think she'll believe us? Could anyone believe about a Sammyadd unless they'd seen it? She'll think we're pretending. Or else she'll think we're raving mad, and then we shall be sent to the mad-house. How would you like it?"—he turned suddenly on the miserable Jane,—"how would you like it, to be shut up in an iron cage with bars and padded walls, and nothing to do but stick straws in your hair all day, and listen to the howlings and ravings of the other maniacs? Make up your minds to it, all of you. It's no use telling mother."
"But it's true," said Jane.
"Of course it is, but it's not true enough for grown-up people to believe it," said Anthea. | WIKI |

Rh These senses too, again, like the sense of seeing, have their several gratifications, as must be obvious to every one from daily experience; for what human being hath not been made sensible, at times, of the various deliglits excited by the harmony of sounds, by the relish of meats and drinks, by the refreshments and delectations of odour, and by the more exquisite exercise of feeling?
Lastly, these senses have their uses, which uses are both temporal and eternal, both natural and spiritual, as I shall now endeavour to show, beginning with the uses of the ear; and, first, with its natural and temporal uses.
On this subject, however, it is impossible, in the compass of a letter, to enter into particulars, because it would require a volume to note all the natural and temporal benefits which man derives from the sense of hearing.
Yet there is one benefit so pre-eminent and distinguished above the rest, that it must not be passed over in silence; I mean the benefit resulting from conversation and discourse, or that interchange of thought and affection which takes place amongst mankind in the ordinary intercourse and engagements of society.

Seminar (play)
Seminar is a play by Theresa Rebeck which premiered on Broadway in 2011.
Productions
Seminar premiered on Broadway at the John Golden Theatre on November 20, 2011 and closed on May 6, 2012. Alan Rickman originated the role of the lead character, Leonard. Jeff Goldblum replaced Rickman as Leonard on April 3, 2012. Ticket sales dropped following Rickman's departure.
The production was directed by Sam Gold and produced by Jeffrey Finn, Jill Furman, John N. Hart Jr. and Patrick Milling-Smith. It featured original music by John Gromada. This production was nominated as Best Play by the Outer Critics Circle and the Drama League, but did not earn any Tony Award nominations.
Seminar opened at the San Francisco Playhouse on May 3, 2014, and received outstanding reviews from the local press. The play was directed by Amy Glazer; the role of Leonard was played by Charles Shaw Robinson.
Plot
Set in present-day New York City, Seminar follows four young writers — Kate, Martin, Douglas, and Izzy — and their professor, Leonard. Each student has paid Leonard $5,000 for a ten-week writing seminar to be held in Kate's Upper West Side apartment. As tensions arise and romance falls, they clash over their writing, their relations, and their futures.
Critical reception
The play was mostly well received. Ben Brantley of The New York Times criticized some script elements, but praised Rickman's acting: "This mélange of feelings, magnificently orchestrated by Mr. Rickman, is arrived at after Leonard has only glanced at the first couple of pages of a vast manuscript. But ... I felt an authentic rush of pleasure and the exhilaration of being reminded that in theater, art comes less from landing lines than [from] finding what lies between them."
Elysa Gardner of USA Today called Seminar an "enriching study". David Rooney of the Hollywood Reporter found the play "tight, witty and consistently entertaining, acquiring more muscle as the layers are peeled back to reveal both the scarred humanity and the numbness beneath Leonard’s soured exterior." | WIKI |

[ipxe-devel] minor issues with the full-screen UI
Ivan Shmakov oneingray at gmail.com
Tue Aug 21 17:40:58 UTC 2012
While testing the latest menu patch, I've also noticed that
while KEY_PPAGE, KEY_NPAGE work for CONSOLE_SERIAL (for a
GNU Screen window under a Linux VT), KEY_HOME & KEY_END do not.
Indeed, there's no standard for encoding functional keys like
those (which is the whole point of having terminfo(5), BTW.)
To solve this, I guess that along with the current KEY_UP,
etc. keyboard sequences, some Ctrl+Alpha ones could be bound to
the same functions (as the latter are always encoded in the same
way — by masking all but the lower five bits of the
corresponding alphabetical character's ASCII code.) My
suggestion would be to reuse GNU Readline (and thus well-known)
bindings, like:
KEY_UP CTRL_P prior element;
KEY_DOWN CTRL_N next element;
KEY_HOME CTRL_A first element;
KEY_END CTRL_E last element.
Interfaces based on GNU Readline don't typically provide
functions for page-wise scrolling, but GNU Emacs (whose bindings
were the basis for GNU Readline bindings) does, so it could be:
KEY_NPAGE CTRL_V
Unfortunately, scrolling the other way is bound to M-v in Emacs,
which could be encoded as either ESC v or 0366, depending on the
terminal settings (consider, e. g., the metaSendsEscape option
to XTerm.) OTOH, C-v may be just enough if it's allowed to
wrap-around.
Still, I wonder if there could be any harm in allowing for the
key bindings to be customized via the already-suggested
config/tui.h configuration file? Like:
#define MENU_UP KEY_UP
#define MENU_UP_ALT CTRL_P
#include <config/local/tui.h>
/* allow alternative keys to be disabled with #undef */
#ifndef MENU_UP_ALT
#define MENU_UP_ALT MENU_UP
#endif
It'd also make sense to reuse these defines in settings_ui.c
(which currently lacks support for KEY_HOME, KEY_PPAGE, etc.,
BTW.)
Finally, serial communication may be not as reliable as the one
done via PC “console.” For a variety of reasons, the screen may
end up being screwed. Thus, it may make sense to allow for yet
another key sequence (e. g., C-l) to force a redraw.

Device Orientation Mapper#
Defined in namespace Scandit.Datacapture.Core.Ui
DeviceOrientation#
Added in version 6.7.0
This enum represents the rotation state of the current device, taking into consideration its natural orientation. This can be thought of as the orientation in relation to the lower chin of the device when in vertical position. The rotation cycle this creates is the following when clockwise: Portrait -> LandscapeLeft -> Portrait Upside Down -> Landscape Right and the other way around when counter-clockwise.
Notice that the entry point of the cycle may be different depending on the device default orientation: * A device which defaults a rectangular screen’s ui to vertical, will enter the rotation cycle above from the Portrait state. Rotating the device clockwise will change the orientation to LandscapeLeft, rotating it one more time ( if the device allows ) will change the orientation to PortraitUpsideDown and so on. * A device which defaults a rectangular screen’s ui to horizontal, will enter the rotation cycle above from the LandscapeRight state. Rotating the device clockwise will change the orientation to Portrait, rotating it one more time will change the orientation to LandscapeLeft and so on.
Note
The second example may apply also to tablets which have hardware navigation buttons on the long side. This means that when the device is in Portrait those buttons will be on the left side.
Portrait#
Added in version 6.7.0
The device is in Portrait orientation.
LandscapeRight#
Added in version 6.7.0
The device is in Landscape Right orientation.
PortraitUpsideDown#
Added in version 6.7.0
The device is in Upside Down Portrait orientation.
LandscapeLeft#
Added in version 6.7.0
The device is in Landscape Left orientation.
DeviceOrientationMapper#
class DeviceOrientationMapper
Added in version 6.7.0
A mapper to infer the device orientation from the screen rotation. Particularly useful in combination with IDataCaptureViewListener.OnSizeChanged() to react to orientation changes.
DeviceOrientationMapper()#
DeviceOrientationMapper()
Added in version 6.7.0
Constructs a new DeviceOrientationMapper instance.

Larkin Goldsmith Mead
Larkin Goldsmith Mead, Jr. (January 3, 1835 – October 15, 1910) was an American sculptor who worked in a neoclassical style.
Career
He was born at Chesterfield, New Hampshire, the son of a prominent lawyer. A colossal snowman constructed by the young Mead was reported by the local press. He became a pupil of sculptor Henry Kirke Brown, (1853–1855). He worked as an illustrator for Harper's Weekly during the early part of the American Civil War, and was at the front for six months with the Army of the Potomac. In 1862–1865, he traveled to Italy, working for a time in Florence, and also spending part of the time attached to the United States consulate at Venice, where William Dean Howells, his brother-in-law, was diplomatic consul. He married in Venice. He returned to America in 1865, but subsequently returned to Italy, where he lived in Florence until his death.
His first important work was a statue of Agriculture, designed to top the dome of the Vermont Statehouse at Montpelier, Vermont. This work proved so successful that he was soon commissioned to sculpt a statue of Ethan Allen for the Statehouse portico.
Other principal works include: the granite and bronze Lincoln Tomb, a sculptured mausoleum to President Abraham Lincoln in Springfield, Illinois; Ethan Allen (1876), National Statuary Hall, United States Capitol, Washington, DC; a heroic marble, Mississippi – The Father of Waters, Minneapolis City Hall; Triumph of Ceres, made for the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, Illinois, 1893; and a large bust of Lincoln in the Hall of Inscriptions at the Vermont Statehouse.
His brother William Rutherford Mead (1846–1928) was a well-known architect, the Mead of McKim, Mead, and White.
He is buried in the Cimitero Evangelico degli Allori in the southern suburb of Florence, Galluzzo (Italy).

He and his family all remained happy in their ignorance of the truth until the plague struck Thebes. The people infer that the God Apollo is punishing the people for not finding the murderer of Laius. Oedipus, as the great ruler he may be, promises to discover the killer and dispel the plague. People try to tell him that it would be better if the past was left alone. But the king was not reluctant and continued.
Oedipus thought he had certainty about his family and family history, but his certainty led him to the truth in which he could not bear with. There is a plague occurring in Thebes where people are dying and they find out that Laius, the king of Thebes, has died. Oedipus soon takes over and tells Teiresias that he will avenge Laius’ killer or put them in exile. Teiresias responds with, “Alas how dreadful to have wisdom where it profits not the wise” (Sophocles 120). Teiresias is a blind seer hinting to Oedipus and the audience, telling Oedipus that he does not need to find the killer because he
Oedipus and His Pride Pride, one of the seven deadly sins, is all forms of media. In literature, one of the best example of pride is in the story Oedipus the King. Oedipus is the cursed King of Thebes who was destined to kill his father and marry his mother, but his pride made him believe that he was going to be fine when he left his adoptive mother and father in Corinth. Eventually, as it always does, pride caught up to him.
In Greek myths kings play a big role in their kingdom and they have a moral responsibility to do what is ethically right for their people. In the story of Oedipus, the king, by Sophocles, Oedipus the ruler of Thebes must deal with the repercussions of a plague that is infiltrating his city and the consequences of committing a heinous crime. Oedipus has a moral responsibility to leave Thebes because he is the reason as to why the plague was brought upon the city and he deserves to get punished for committing the horrific crime of murder. Oedipus was once known as the wisest person for saving the people of Thebes from the torment of the sphinx, but he is also the reason as to why the people are in such agony because of the plague. In line 93 it says, “A murder blew the deadly plague breath on our city.”
Saying “You are the killer. You bring the pollution upon Thebes.” as well as foreshadows what Oedipus would eventually do at the conclusion of the play by saying “Those eyes that now see clear day will be covered with darkest”. This is a prelude to the fact Oedipus will eventually blind himself. This is yet another example of how fate always had a firm grip on Oedipus.
What is more powerful, pride or stubbornness? In Sophocles’ tragic play, Antigone, Antigone is fighting against Creon because of the edict to not bury Polyneices. Antigone is headstrong and stubborn, while Creon is prideful and unreasonable. Sophocles uses these character flaws to show the people that excessive pride and stubbornness will lead to their downfall. Antigone feels love for her brother and is passionate and stubborn about burying him.
Pride is the feeling of high satisfaction in one’s self. This emotion can be the result of high self-esteem in personal achievements. Confidence can often be confused with pride when one becomes too self-obsessed. When too prideful, judgement may be affected. The mind changes from selfless to selfish in an instant when one’s actions are based on stubbornness.
Teiresias offers a harsh critique of how Oedipus behaves when he entered Thebes, seeing him as cocky and ignorant when the king refuses to accept Teiresias's prophecy. Teiresias emphasizes the ability of free will by encouraging Oedipus’s decision to let him go. Teiresias is an obstacle at the beginning of the play as he tests the idea of free will by being the personified representation of fate since he is a prophet. The argument between Oedpius and Teirsias also represents the conflict between fate vs free will. Oedipus is a representation of free will and the consequences of making bad decisions, bad decisions that were led by his sour judgment.
Famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle once stated that the golden mean is “the best means of living is with the moderation of all things” (The Golden Mean). Sophcoles’ Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex portrays the golden mean using Oedipus’ otherworldly hubris. Oedipus’ hubris from evading fate causes him to run off course away from the golden mean, making him the one cursed and shamed. Oedipus’ extraordinary hubris from doing numerous heroic acts and from “escaping” his fate as predicted by the oracle of Delphi deviates him from the golden mean and shines him in the spotlight of shame.
Oedipus is human, regardless of his pride, his intelligence, or his stubbornness and we can recognize this in his reaction to his wrongdoings. With this, the audience is affected to feel both pity and fear. There is pity for this broken man and fear that his tragedy could be our own, as well.
When the great king of Thebes was revealed the dreadful truth he cries out, “O God! It has all come true. Light, let this be the last time I see you. I stand revealed - born in shame, married in shame, an unnatural murderer” (89). During that time, Jocasta commits suicide.
Oedipus Rex essay Final draft Oedipus certainly deserved his fate. Oedipus and his actions are clearly disrespect to the gods , he faces the fate he deserves. He was doing things that would eventually lead up to the unfortunate event of his death , he was even warned by the great and wise Teiresias , but he being himself was to stubborn and did not listen. All the things Teiresias said would happen became the truth. He killed his father, married his mother, yet he tempted his fate , he deserved everything that came his way .
Because Teiresias didn’t satisfy his curiousity, Oedipus kept seeking the murderer and neglected several hints that he is the person that he himself tried to punish, although he also scared that Teireias’ prophecy on him was right therefore Indirectly, Teiresias intended to let Oedipus to seek the truth on his won rather than to harm Oedipus pride as a king by gave him the truth at that time. Once again Teiresias gave Oedipus his prevision [page 57, right column, line 37] and to be later proven to be true [page 67, right column, line 55] as a hint that no body can escape from his own
Oedipus the King is a tragedy that was written by Sophocles that emphasizes the irony of an irony of a man who was determined to trace down, expose and punish an assassin who in turn became him. Oedipus the King is also known as Oedipus Rex or Oedipus Tyrannus. The art is an Athenian play that was performed in ages approximated to be 429 BC. Oedipus the King would later in the play fulfill the prophecy that he would kill his father and later on marry his mother. There is a twist of an event in the play where Oedipus is looking for the murderer of his father to bring to a halt the series of plagues that are befalling Thebes but only to find he is in search of himself (Rado, 1956).
Two people in a similar situation are likely to react differently based on their experience, morality and personality. How they carry themselves in this situation tells so much about their character. One’s actions will expose his nature, whether he is a good person with a good intention or not, something that words alone cannot prove. This essay will compare two different characters, Oedipus and Cinyras, in a similar situation. Oedipus is the titular character in Oedipus the King by Sophocles, a tragedy about a man who unintentionally kills his dad and marries his mom, just as his fate dictates. | FINEWEB-EDU |
A sitemap is a file that contains the different pages of a site and the way to them through the sections of the Internet site. The web pages can be sorted visually or as simple text and this kind of a file is quite useful for two reasons. The first is that it makes it faster and easier for the visitors to find a specific page they need, which means that they can navigate your website better and a lot faster, that in turn will improve their user experience and it'll be more likely that they will revisit the website or will recommend it to other people. Another reason is that a sitemap makes it possible for search engines to index your site content better, particularly if it's updated, so if users are looking for certain content, it's more likely that they will find your Internet site since it will be listed higher in their search engine results. If your website is not indexed effectively, it may not show up for some searches, so even in case you have what people require, they will simply not get to the Internet site.
SiteMap Generator in Cloud Hosting
If you would like to have a sitemap, however, you do not have much experience with sites in general, you you can use the sitemap generator that we provide with our cloud hosting packages. Being part of the Hepsia Control Panel, the software tool shares the exact same basic and user-friendly user interface, so it will take you a couple of clicks to create a detailed sitemap which will be search engine friendly. The generator enables you to choose the highest number of links the sitemap must include as well as how many levels down the webpages these links have to go. You can even select what kind of file extensions to be included, so if you offer specific site content such as music, e-books or some documents, you could type their extensions before you generate the sitemap and our tool will incorporate them along with the standard web pages.
SiteMap Generator in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The sitemap generator software instrument that comes with all of our semi-dedicated hosting plans will permit you to create a sitemap for each of your sites without any difficulties even if you don't have experience with this kind of matters. The software instrument is part of the Hepsia internet hosting Control Panel and comes with the same straightforward and easy-to-work-with interface, so all it takes on your end to generate the sitemap will be a few mouse clicks. The output file will be friendly for search engines and we provide 3 options that you can customize - the number of links to be included in total, how many levels deep these links have to be indexed and what kind of file types to be featured. For the second option, you will be able to add or remove file extensions without restraint, so in case your website includes certain content that is not standard for a site, you'll be able to add it to the sitemap, so both website visitors and search engines can find it without difficulty.
SiteMap Generator in VPS Hosting
If you have a virtual private server from our firm and it is provided with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to use the custom sitemap generator that is integrated in Hepsia. This software instrument is really convenient to use, so even if you are not very tech-savvy, you can create a sitemap for any of your websites through a simple point-and-click interface. There are several features which you will be able to customize - the depth of the links the software instrument should follow, the number of links that need to be indexed and what type of files should be included. The last option will enable you to focus on certain content on your site because you will be able to remove generic website pages and add custom extensions, such as .pdf and .epub if you offer e-books. The sitemap generator can be used for any of your Internet sites and it will automatically place a search engine friendly XML file in the selected website folder.
SiteMap Generator in Dedicated Web Hosting
The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that is provided with our dedicated server solutions comes with an inbuilt sitemap generator which will allow you to build a search engine friendly sitemap with just a couple of clicks for any website hosted on your server. The instrument has a truly easy-to-use interface and allows you to pick several options for the sitemap - the depth of the links the generator has to follow through the pages, the maximum number of links that need to be crawled, and exactly what file extensions to be included. With aforementioned option, you'll be able to add and remove extensions freely, so you can select what content to be included in the sitemap. In this way, you'll be able to remove specific content and add any kind of custom files that you may have on the website and you may want to be included for visitors and search engines. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Talk:Topological graph theory
Example studies
I know this article should more closely follow the house style for a mathmatics article. In that case this section would be next to last before the references section. The next step is to include a more formal definition of this hybrid specialty between topology and graph theory. Vonkje 01:20, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
References Section
I added a references section to hold footnotes that were embedded in previous sections. I believe footnoting that binds specific parts of the text to its reference is better scholarship than listing references. Simply listing references makes it harder for someone else to check my work. Vonkje 01:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Irreducible
Is there a notion of irreducible graphs (and trees) in terms of topology (rather than series-reduction in terms of vertices having exactly two links)? Cesiumfrog (talk) 11:34, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Pappus graph animation should be removed
The Pappus graph animation is not well done.
It is impossible to understand what is happening, and at the end it allows no time at all for the viewer to appreciate the final result.
As it is, it does not belong in this article. 2601:200:C000:1A0:ADE7:E1E3:C288:E288 (talk) 01:02, 13 January 2022 (UTC) | WIKI |
From Objective-C to Swift: Swift Goodies
Swift comes with a lot of really nice features that make it hard to go back to Objective-C. The main feature is safety, but that may be seen as just a bonus side effect. There are a lot of other reasons to use Swift.
Strong Typing with Type Inference
Swift has strong typing, meaning that Swift will not convert between types for you, unless you ask it to. So you cannot just assign e.g. an Int to a Double. You have to typecast it first (actually construct a Double from an Int):
Strong typing is really, really beneficial for safety. But it could become a bit of a daunting task if it wasn’t for Type Inference adding a lot of type information for you, almost like writing in a scripting language.
If you want to create an array containing several types (with no common ancestor), you should use an enum (which can hold values, see below). If you would like it to be able to hold any type at all, you can use the Any type. To make it hold any Objective-C type, use the AnyObject type.
Please note that Type Inference won’t add the types for you when declaring functions. You have to explicitly state the type of functions you declare.
Blocks
Blocks in Swift (called Closures) look a lot like blocks in Objective-C, with two main exceptions: Type Inference and avoiding the weakify dance.
With Type Inference you don’t have to include the full type each time you write a block:
To read more about blocks in Swift, please visit: Closures.
On top of that, the Objective-C weakify dance gets a lot simpler, by just including e.g. [unowned self] or [weak self] at the start of the block:
Please note that Optionals (like the callback above) was explained in the Introduction post.
To read all about ARC in Swift, please refer to the ARC chapter.
Enumerations Supercharged
Enumerations in Swift are a major step up from Objective-C.
Fixing Enums
Apple has been advocating explicit sizes for enumeration types for a while, this is a mess in Objective-C:
This is fixed in Swift:
Extending Enums
Enums in Swift goes further than just being a list of unique choices. You can add methods (and computed properties):
Using type extensions, you can add methods to any enum you like:
Adding value to Enums
Enumerations in Swift goes even further by allowing each unique choice to have an associated value:
You can consider this as a safe union type, if you want. Or just the way enumerations should be.
For Apples take on it, go read the Enumerations chapter.
Swift Switches
As you just witnessed, switch statements in Swift have been improved in several ways.
The implicit fall-through behavior has been changed to be explicit:
Switch statements can access the associated values of enumerations, as you saw earlier, but they can do more than that:
It even works for strings:
And if you think it makes your code more readable, you could overload the ~= operator to alter the behavior of switch statements!
You can read more about switch statements under Conditional Statements.
Classes and Structs
Like in C++, Swift classes and structs look the same at first:
The main difference is that classes are reference types (along with blocks), while structs are value types (along with enumerations). So two variables can point to the same (class) object, while assigning a struct to another variable will make a (lazy) copy of the struct. The ‘ mutating ‘ keyword tells callers that the enripen() method cannot be invoked on constant structs. Mutating a constant reference to a class object is all fine.
Most built-in types are actually structs in Swift, and can be extended by user code. Even Int. You can see the declarations for built-in stuff by Cmd-clicking e.g. an Int in Swift source code (or in a Playground). The Array and Dictionary types are structs too, so assigning an Array variable to another will copy the array and all its elements (this is done lazily on demand, though).
You can read more about the Collection Types in Apple’s documentation.
The Life of an Object
Another major difference between classes and structs is that classes can be subclassed. Both classes and structs can be extended, and they can implement protocols, but only classes can inherit from other classes.
As you can see, inheritance adds a bit more fun Swift stuff to learn. For starters, you need to be explicit about your intention to override a method declared in a parent class. If you want to prevent children overriding something, you can add the attribute final in front of either a single declaration or the entire class. For more attributes, see Apple’s documentation.
Initialization
Swift objects are initialized in two steps: First the object has to be valid, then it can be tweaked.
Making the object valid entails invoking one of the super class’s designated init() methods. Classes can have both designated initializers and convenience initializers (marked with the ‘convenience’ keyword). The convenience initializers call other initializers in the same class (ultimately a designated initializer), and designated initializers call the super class’s initializers.
If you add initializers for all the super class’s designated initializers, then your class will automatically inherit all the convenience initializers too. If you do not add any designated initializers at all, then your class will inherit all the initializers (designated and convenience) of the super class.
Please refer to Initialization for further reading.
Type casting
For casting between classes, especially down-casting, you can use “is”, “as?”, and “as”:
To read all about it, visit the Type Casting chapter.
Generics
Generics are a major plus for Swift. They look a bit like C++ templates, but are stronger typed and simpler (simpler to use, and less capable).
The above was inspired by the Design Rationale for the Boost.Geometry C++ library. Generics in Swift are not as capable, but makes for much more readable source code than the C++ version.
Generics in Swift are parameterized by types. Each parameter type can be required to implement a specific protocol or inherit from a specific base class. After declaring the parameter types, an optional “where” clause can add requirements to the types (or their internal types, like the typealias ‘T’ in the PointTraits protocol above). A “where” clause can also require two types to be equal.
Apple has a much more thorough chapter on Generics.
Adopting Swift
You are now ready to go read all sorts of Swift source code, and even write your own :-)
A couple of final notes, before I leave you to the new and largely undiscovered land of Swift:
• Apple recommends that you use Int for all integer types, even where you previously used an unsigned type. “Use UInt only when you specifically need an unsigned integer type with the same size as the platform’s native word size.”
• Apropos Ints, you can now add underscores in number literals for greater legibility, e.g.
The compiler simply ignores the underscores.
• The String class has some nice initializers. E.g.
As of this writing, this hasn’t been documented yet, so it may not go into the final release of Xcode 6.
• If you create a Swift module, you can Cmd-click the name of your module to see the auto-generated Swift header for your module.
• Swift modules are actually namespaces, so prefixing everything like CF, NS, UI, etc. isn’t strictly necessary anymore when creating third party libraries.
Enjoy using Swift!

Hello, first place, great post, but I have one question.
There is posible migrate a existing Objective – C app released at the App Store to Swift?, this app have Core Data, so how can migrate the Objective – C Core Data model wich current version is number 4, to Swift without crash the app?
Sorry for my bad english.
Thank you very much.

The Graham–Knuth–Patashnik Recurrence: Symmetries and Continued Fractions
• Jesús Salas
• Alan D. Sokal
Abstract
We study the triangular array defined by the Graham–Knuth–Patashnik recurrence $T(n,k) = (\alpha n + \beta k + \gamma)\, T(n-1,k)+(\alpha' n + \beta' k + \gamma') \, T(n-1,k-1)$ with initial condition $T(0,k) = \delta_{k0}$ and parameters $\mathbf{\mu} = (\alpha,\beta,\gamma, \alpha',\beta',\gamma')$. We show that the family of arrays $T(\mathbf{\mu})$ is invariant under a 48-element discrete group isomorphic to $S_3 \times D_4$. Our main result is to determine all parameter sets $\mathbf{\mu} \in \mathbb{C}^6$ for which the ordinary generating function $f(x,t) = \sum_{n,k=0}^\infty T(n,k) \, x^k t^n$ is given by a Stieltjes-type continued fraction in $t$ with coefficients that are polynomials in $x$. We also exhibit some special cases in which $f(x,t)$ is given by a Thron-type or Jacobi-type continued fraction in $t$ with coefficients that are polynomials in $x$.

Talk:Sonia Sotomayor/Archive 3
No mention of 60% overturn rate?
Seriously, this is the problem with Wikipedia - the article is locked to not allow user editing, and there is no mention of the fact that she's had 6 of her rulings reviewed by the Supreme Court, on which she hopes to sit, and 4 of them have been overturned? Do you not think that relevant? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:26, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* This is included in the article. It says: "Over her ten years on the circuit court, Sotomayor has heard appeals in more than 3,000 cases, and has written about 380 opinions where she was in the majority.[9] The Supreme Court reviewed five of those, reversing three and affirming two[9] – not high numbers for an appellate judge of that many years[14] and a typical percentage of reversals.[96]" I think your stat may include Ricci, which this stat doesn't because she didn't write the ruling. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:41, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* 6 of her cases went before the Supreme Court for review, and 4 of her decisions were overturned. Not writing the ruling for the Ricci case doesn't change the fact that it was yet another of her strongly worded opinions rebuked by the court she wishes to join. That is a fact that bears mentioning in clearer language, and certainly without the biased qualifier "not high numbers for an appellate judge of that many years". —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* Do you have a source for the reversal rate of all her decisions that she joined in, not just the ones that she wrote the opinion on? We can include that as an additional stat to the one that's there. As for "wise Latina", the article says this: "The strongest criticism of her nomination came from conservatives and some Republican senators regarding a line that she used in some form in a number of her speeches and that became best known for its use in a 2001 Berkeley Law lecture:[112][171] "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."[12] Sotomayor had made similar remarks in other speeches between 1994 and 2003, including one she submitted as part of her confirmation questionnaire for the Court of Appeals in 1998, but they had attracted little attention.[172][173]" That's as straightforward a description as can be made. It's up to the reader to decide how he or she feels about the remark. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:35, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* To respond to your revised post above, the qualifier is not biased. Overturn rates of appeals court judges are almost always high, because the Supreme Court doesn't take the case unless there's a good chance it will be overturned. In some cases, 4 judges have already voted to get cert, which means you need to run the table with the rest of them to win the case. If I remember right, Alito had a 100% reversal rate. Doesn't mean much of anything. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* Why is it necessary to point out the party affiliations of the only people who vetted this candidate and published her actual feelings and proof of her bias? Why is a reference to MediaMatters' off-hand dismissal of the quote necessary? The facts are very straightforward: a person nominated for membership in the highest judicial authority in the land openly expressed racial and gender bias, not once, but numerous times. Of her strongly-worded opinions that have reached the Supreme Court, 4 of 6 have been overturned. These are serious issues, buried under dismissive language and weasel-wording. By contrast look at Harriet Miers' Wikipedia page. Miers is repeatedly described as 'unqualified' and 'biased', which she certainly was - but by any rational, objective yardstick, so is Sotomayor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:44, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* Not to pour too cold a bucket on your logic, but if you're going to count opinions that way, surely you'd have to include in the percentage the hundreds of opinions where the Supreme Court has effectively upheld Sotomayor by denying cert, essentially saying that she was so clearly correct that there is no point in their taking the case up on appeal. bd2412 T 03:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* Party affiliations are given because for better or worse, reactions to Supreme Court nominations show a high degree of partisan polarization in recent times. I agree that the Media Matters statement doesn't belong; I agreed to it only to prevent an edit war, per Talk:Sonia Sotomayor/Archive 3, and would be happy to see it removed. I see nothing about Miers being 'biased' in her article, and her nomination battle is completely unlike the Sotomayor one. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* I've now deleted the Media Matters statement. Besides never belonging in the first place, it's really inoperative now in light of Sotomayor's testimony and backing off of the 'wise Latina' remark today. That is to say, the Media Matters statement was constructing a defense that no one else has made including Sotomayor herself. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
More emphasis on Ricci v. Destefano
Although the article does mention Ricci v. Destefano, her handling of this case needs more emphasis. Currently, the case is mentioned in passing twice, towards the end of the article (under the headings "Court of Appeals judge," and "Nomination to the United States Supreme Court").
To give this case its due importance, it should be mentioned in the third paragraph, along with the Major League Baseball and Wall Street Journal cases, and in the section, "Notable rulings."
The points that need to be made about this case are a) her ruling in the Ricci case was summary (it was less than a page long, and cited to no law or precedence for how the panel reached its decision), and b) Sotomayor's appellate decision in this case was overturned by the United States Supreme Court.
Additionally, some of the sentences seem to be editorial in nature, and should either be bolstered by citing to sources, or deleted, for example:
"Her nomination was slowed by the Republican majority in the Senate, who wanted to deny her an easy confirmation that could enhance her prospects for a later Supreme Court nomination, but she was eventually confirmed in 1998."
In general the article departs from the wikipedia standard of neutrality.

* Sotomayor did not author the opinion in Ricci v. Destefano. bd2412 T 03:39, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* Because she didn't author the ruling, I agree it doesn't belong in the lead. I do agree, however, that a fuller explanation of the summary judgment -> en banc ruling -> SCOTUS sequence is warranted in the "Notable rulings" entry that deals with Ricci, since she was part of the panel that made the summary judgement. I tried to include some of this a while ago, but other editors took it out. The WP article style is to not footnote statements in the lead, but rather the same statements in the body of the text. The whole Appeals Court nomination Republican slowdown is thus amply cited in the body of the article, starting with "... but as The New York Times described, "[it became] embroiled in the sometimes tortured judicial politics of the Senate."[90]" and continuing for much of that section. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:52, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* Keep in mind the difference between a "summary judgment" and a "summary order." They are completely different things. A summary judgment is when a court decides a case without a full trial; this happens when one party is entitled to win even if the other party's presentation of the facts is presumed to be accurate. In contrast, a "summary order" is when the court decides a case without giving any explanation, regardless of whether it's a summary judgment or not.Ferrylodge (talk) 04:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* My issue with the approach being advocated is whether we are going to discuss all controversial opinions for which she was merely on the panel, which would, of course, include all opinions that were issued en banc during her tenure on the Second Circuit. If so, are we going to identify her 100+ opinions which were appealed to the Supreme Court, and denied cert? bd2412 T 04:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* (ec)You can see here the way the Ricci description used to read. I think someone objected to the number of dates being present. Anyway, I would support an expanded description that covered the summary order [I stand corrected], the en banc rehearing, and the SCOTUS appeal. I think another objection may have been that the reader can click through the Ricci link to see the whole history, but this is noteworthy enough in Sotomayor's career that it merits text here as well. There are also some news stories that attempt to recreate the panel's internal debate (Sotomayor in the middle), but I don't know if they're solid enough to use. Wasted Time R (talk) 04:10, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* I get BD2412's point, but we've already selected particular rulings based on how well known or important or consequential they are, and Ricci is clearly now at the top of the list. So I don't see anything wrong with giving it a little extra description compared to the others. Wasted Time R (talk) 04:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* I agree with WTR. Also, one of the key notable points about Ricci was the choice to use a summary order, and Judge Sotomayor seems to have been as involved in that decision as the other two panel members. The summary order was later replaced with a perfunctory per curiam opinion, and again her part in that was the same as for the other two panel members.Ferrylodge (talk) 04:24, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

PRLDEF? Appeals Court makes law?
No mention of withheld PRLDEF documents, or the clash of reality with Leahy's ridiculous statement that this is the "most open confirmation hearing ever"? No mention of "It is the Court of Appeals is where policy is made? I know, that this is on tape, and I should never say that.". I'll retract my earlier attitude, as you seem to be honestly trying to balance the article, but the tone still remains decidedly biased with key elements missing that pretty firmly establish her own bias and lack of qualifications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:26, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* The delay in the PRLDEF documents was a minor process issue that's best included in Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination if anywhere (it's a small organization that's nearly gone broke several times, it shouldn't be a surprise they have trouble laying hands on all their old docs). Note that the nomination subarticle isn't locked and you can make additions to it yourself. Same with Leahy's statement about open hearing, it's a process issue that belongs in the nomination subarticle; if we included every senatorial bloviation here the article would never end. The "policy is made" quote is borderline to add here; most sources think it's pretty clear she was talking about the kind of precedents and legal standards that appellate courts set, not the kind of social and political policy that legislatures and executive branches set. From what I heard and read of the hearings today, only Sessions discussed this quote and not at much length, so on balance I don't think it merits inclusion here unless it attracts more attention. Again, it could go in the nomination subarticle as one of the objections that was raised soon after her nomination. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:53, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
the part that's really missing
Before I'd ever heard of Sotomayor, I did hear nearly every tv pundit (left and right) explaining that Obama's best political move was to nominate a Latin (race based selection), and preferably a woman (gender based selection). Weeks later, up pops Sotomayor's name. Yet this article makes no mention of her being nominated as the result of reverse discrimination - instead the article is about her purported qualifications, etc., as if the actual main reasons for her selection did not exist. Let's face it, a white male had zero chance of being nominated by Obama. This entire article follows along with the double-speak of political correctness. Throughout, thee is the subtext of her being a victim of discrimination, never the beneficiary of reverse-discrimination.
The real selection process went like this: "let's nominate a Latin, preferably a woman. We need to find one that we can say is qualified." That is the central issue of her nomination, but it's never even stated in this article. [19:12, July 14, 2009 <IP_ADDRESS>]
* It's not stated for two reasons that I can think of: Firstly, it's your opinion, and wikipedia maintains a Neutral Point of View; secondly you would need some reliable source of information to be able to put that into an article. It might be what you believe to be the case, but that doesn't make it so. You mention her purported qualifications - you are implying that she does not have those qualifications. Which qualifications mentioned are incorrectly attributed to her? If there are some, provide evidence, and then the article can be changed. Phantom Steve ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 19:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* First, white males have constituted 106 out of the 110 Supreme Court justices in American history so far, so it's pretty hard to make the case they've been discriminated against. Second, it was pretty much a given that Obama was going to name a woman, since there was only one on the court (GWB wanted to also, with Harriet Miers), and virtually everyone on Obama's short list was a woman. But it was not a certainty that he would name a Latina, although Sotomayor was an early favorite and held on to that track. Third, you're operating under mistaken notion that it's hard to find qualified women and Latinos who could serve on the Supreme Court. Fourth, I don't think this article ever claims that Sotomayor was a victim of discrimination, as I don't think she was; even the Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge incident was a case of an obnoxious remark than employment discrimination. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* So because white males have not been discriminated against in the past (which, in itself, is false), they cannot possibly be discriminated against in the present? Do you realize how astonishingly stupid that sounds?<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:16, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
* I assume you can provide reliable citations showing where white males amongst the Supreme Court justices have been discriminated against? Could you cite some sources for your statements? Having had just over 96% of all the Supreme Court justices in American history being men makes the argument about discrimination sound silly at best, inflammatory at worse! Phantom Steve ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 00:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
* (ec) "Discrimination" is the wrong term to use in this kind of context. Presidential appointments are not meritocracies. When Reagan wanted to appoint the first woman to the court he was not discriminating against white men. When GHWB wanted to replace Thurgood Marshall with another African American, he was not discriminating against white men. When GWB wanted to replace O'Connor with another woman, he was not discriminating against white men. Presidents are free to choose appointments for all sorts of reasons, including not just ability but also ideology, demographics, politics, personal comfort, reward for past service, etc. For this article to portray Sotomayor's appointment as a story of white males being discriminated against would show no understanding of the underlying process involved.

choice of words is very revealing of article bias
Sotomayor's "wise Latina" remarks are described neutrally as "a line that she used". But criticism of those remarks is characterized with the words: "rhetoric quickly became inflamed". So when Sotomayor claims that her race/gender is superior, that's not rhetoric or inflammatory, right?
[NOTE: Brothrj has made an unwarranted edit by deleting my previous contribution to this talk page. I have re-instated my words above. It's remarkable to me that someone like Brotherj appoints himself as censor on a talk page. My criticisms were valid, especially concerning the use of biased language, as cited above. Brotherj furthermore merely cites the talk page guidelines while committing his censorship, without any reasoning whatsoever. This capricious behavior should be unacceptable here.]
* I agree that Brotherj probably shouldn't have yanked your comment; although it was 80% editorializing, there was some actual content related to the article. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
[second edit by me, in "choice of words..." to remove all but essential language.] <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:25, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* I assume you are refering to the paragraph starting Sotomayor's nomination won praise from Democrats and liberals... and ending Some of the fervor with which conservatives viewed the Sotomayor nomination was due to the history and grievances of federal judicial nomination battles going back to the 1987 Robert Bork Supreme Court nomination.? And that the quote you are thinking about is where she said "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."? The rest of the paragraph clearly discusses the thought patterns of people to this statement - but I consider it to be written in an un-biased way.
* She didn't claim her race/gender is superior - she said that someone with a specific life experience can make a better judgement than someone who has no awareness of that life experience. From what I have seen elsewhere, she does not regret the statement's sentiment, just the way it's trotted out as proof of her racism/sexism! She did not claim that being a Latina or a woman made her superior! Phantom Steve ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 20:44, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* The inflammatory rhetoric was a reference to Limbaugh's and Gingrich's remarks right after the nomination, which even Gingrich later backed off (Limbaugh has doubled down). This is contrasted with the more measured response of senators such as Cornyn. Sotomayor has now backed off 'wise Latina' in the hearings, which I'll be adding to the article in a bit. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Implying racism?
Maybe I misread this in the article. "Some in the Republican majority believed that an easy confirmation to the appeals court would put her in a better position for a possible Supreme Court nomination (despite there being no vacancy at the time nor any indication the Clinton administration was considering nominating her or any Hispanic)," The first assumption I got was that the Republicans would oppose someone of Hispanic lineage. Perhaps this should be re-written? Anton.hung (talk) 21:32, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
* No, the Republicans thought the Dems wanted to name the first Hispanic to the Supreme Court, and were boosting Sotomayor to the appeals court in order to get her ready for the next vacant Supreme Court slot. The Republicans didn't want Sotomayor on the Supreme Court (for the same reasons they don't want her on now, and additionally because they wanted to name the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice), and thus slow-walked her confirmation process in order to make her appear less 'inevitable'. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:40, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
* Clinton wanting to appoint someone for being Hispanic was not referenced in that paragraph, or even that section, so I'm removing the Hispanic reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anton.hung (talk • contribs) 06:59, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
* You're right that the antecedent was missing. I've added it, making the text now: "Some in the Republican majority believed Clinton was eager to name the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice and that an easy confirmation to the appeals court would put Sotomayor in a better position for a possible Supreme Court nomination (despite there being no vacancy at the time nor any indication the Clinton administration was considering nominating her or any Hispanic), and therefore they decided to slow her confirmation.[14][90][92]" This is supported by fns 90 and 92.

* Possibly in the Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination article (though I would doubt it), certainly not here.

"Living modestly" is a complete lie. Where is the fact in that?

Latina - white
Since when have hispanics/latinas not been white? Are they just Spanish/white? That's how things are seen in Australia Littlest Plum (talk) 10:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
* The U.S. government generally considers being Hispanic to be an ethnic consideration, orthogonal to race; see Race and ethnicity in the United States Census. That said, people often view being Hispanic or Latino in racial terms as well, including during the Sotomayor nomination (such as the Limbaugh/Gingrich remarks, or these recent Leahy comments). However, I don't think this article ever refers to Sotomayor in terms of race (other than in quotes of others); if you see a spot, let me know. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
* I'd say that Hispanics can be of any "race". Sotomayor is of Puerto Rican ancestry, so she almost certainly has a mix of Spanish and African bloodlines, possibly with some native Caribbean or even continental Native American ancestry. That's just based on typical Puerto Rican heritage, not any special knowledge of Sotomayor's ancestry. bd2412 T 01:33, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
* Interesting conversation. It is true that Hispanics can be of any race. It is wrong and pure speculation to assume that since Sotomayor is Puerto Rican, that she most certainly has a mixture of Spanish and African bloodlines. As in almost every country, there are "White", "Black", "Asian", "Native" Puerto Ricans of every religious group. Most people who have no knowledge of Puerto Rican history are unaware that during the late 1850's hundreds of family's from non-Hispanic Europe such as Ireland, Germany, Italy, Corsica and France settled in Puerto Rico. See: Population and racial makeup and the corresponding wikilinks to the immigration of Puerto Rico of these groups to fully understand what the racial make up of the people of Puerto Rico are and how wrongly they have been sterotyped for years as being only a mixture of Spanish/African/Tainos.

[moved here from User talk:Wasted Time R] Hey, We have a black president, they had to give the latino's something right? Haha, I notice that you have done a lot of work for the Sotomayor article. Thanks, you've done a good job : )
I also noticed you reverted my edit on the Sotomayor article, though I can't say that I agree that the fact that it didn't gain much attention at the time is a good reason to remove a piece of information that is otherwise apropos. The quote is a piece of information that is directly related to the speech being discussed. If a well known person makes a speech a line from which later becomes famous, you don't simply fail to mention that when discussing the speech just because it wasn't famous at the time..
Do you have another reason for reverting the edit, that perhaps I'm misunderstanding? Andy (talk) 16:38, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
* The "wise Latina" remark is mentioned three times later, in the Supreme Court nomination section when it became famous. Until then it had been ignored, and introducing it with the 2001 speech would give the wrong impression regarding that. Furthermore, she made variants of the remark at other times as well, not just in the 2001 speech. The significance of the 2001 speech at the time was that it was the bringing together of all of her thoughts on being a Latina judge, and she republished it in a law review article. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:12, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
* If qualified as originally edited "..in what has now become a point of contention..", I don't see how the wrong impression would be given. And the fact that it is stated later, to me, doesnt seem to be a reason not to mention it here, and in fact may argue more for having it here. Without mention, it is possible to read the entire Sotomayor article and not make the connection that the same speech is being discussed here and later on where the controversy is discussed. I think the argument could be made to shorten the reference to something like "..the later controversial 'wise latina' quote was made in the context of this speech (among others)" (with an anchor link to the section on the controversy) to avoid repeating the same information several times.
* However I'll state again my argument that if a famous person makes a speech, a quote of which only later becomes a point of discussion, it is worth mentioning that quote when discussing that speech on general terms. The reason that I edited it in in the first place was that I was reading this section of the article related to the "A Latina Judge's Voice" and was hoping to get some context for that quote. The fact that the quote is not mentioned here was first confusing and later conspicuous. I was under the impression that I must have been reading about another speech until I dug into the references a bit to be sure it was the same speech. I have no doubt that others reading the section would experience the same. Trying to gain that context without the quote burdens the reader to make the connection.

There is no evidence that Sonia's mother was a member of the WAC's. Therefore, said statement has been removed. What the New York Times source clearly states is that her mother a "nurse" married a factory worker and moved to New York during World War II, that's all. This in no way means that she was a WAC., as a matter of fact this the era of the so-called "Puerto Rican Great Migration" when thousands moved to New York seeking employment.

Celina Sotomayor had left Puerto Rico at 17 to sign up, shipping off to Georgia for her training with no relatives in the mainland United States." You can also see other news stories referring to her mother's service in this search list, for example this CNN story: "Like many Puerto Ricans from her era, Celina Baez headed for the mainland at 17, joining the Women's Army Corps in Georgia."

I'm not disputing anything, but is there a law that clearly states that nominees for any position (or certain ones) take their office automatically and immediately upon confirmation (with an oath later required to DO something with the office)? It seems like that would be the case, but I'd like to see a law to that effect. Anyone got one? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:52, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
* She became a justice as soon as her commission was signed, which occurred on August 6. All federal officials -- including judges -- assume office when commissioned. The oath of office is prerequisite to exercising the powers of office, but the term begins upon commissioning. But you don't have to take my word for it -- go to http://www.fjc.gov/public/home.nsf/hisj and look her up, and you will see that her service on the Second Circuit terminated on August 6 and her term on the Supreme Court began the same day.

* The Fox News article to which you refer does not say that Cardozo was the first Hispanic. In fact, it specifically states "Was he also the first Hispanic? There is no conclusive answer ." The article itself makes a number of arguments as to why Cardozo would not be considered Hispanic. Hence, the position that Cardozo was Hispanic is still a "fringe" idea, just as the idea that 9/11 was an inside job is a "fringe" idea even though Fox has reported on the existence of that particular theory. bd2412 T 18:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
* Subman758, take a look at Talk:Sonia Sotomayor/Archive 3 and Talk:Sonia Sotomayor/Archive 1, where this has been discussed in the past. The consensus among both news sources and WP editors is that Cardoza does not 'count' and Sotomayor if confirmed will be the first Hispanic SC justice. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:33, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
* If you would say Fox is the "most reliable news source" you've got no business editing anything on this site. They are deeply biased and constantly wrong. nut-meg (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
* I really don't care either way. I found another source to add. However Wikipedia's page on Hispanic mentions something about being Hispanic if one's roots were traced back to Spain, or the Iberian Peninsula. Cardozo was able to trace his roots to this area of the world. Regardless of whether or not he considered himself to be Hispanic, he was of Hispanic descent making him Hispanic. I myself am of Italian and Irish descent, but because I share more traits with my Italian side, I really don't recognize the fact that I am also Irish. That does not mean however, I am not Irish. It is also fair to say, that it is possible he chose not to consider himself Hispanic, due to the times. He might today consider himself Hispanic, if he were alive that is. It has often been said the Roosevelt himself might not have ever been elected to the Presidency in 1932, had the Advent of Television we have today been prevalent in 1932. If I had known about the previous argument that took place on this issue, I would have gleefully taken part. Like I said I don't care either way, I just thought I would add some insight.--Subman758 (talk) 23:53, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
* Please read up on original research. For contentious issues we cannot take A (Cardozo traces his routes back to Iberian pen) and B (Hispanics are those with roots from Iberian pen) and conclude C (Cardozo is a hispanic), we must have C directly stated by a RS.

* Your right a name like Cardozo could not possibly have link to Spain.--Subman758 (talk) 00:25, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
* By your own AP/Fox News source above, the link is supposed to be to Portugal, not Spain. And per the same source, "Kaufman said Cardozo's ancestors came to the Americans colonies in the 1700s from England and Holland, but no one has ever firmly established that the family's roots were, in fact, in Portugal."

* Look, it's not like the article ignores Cardoza completely. It says: "(Some attention has been given to Justice Benjamin Cardozo – a Sephardic Jew believed to be of distant Portuguese descent – as the first Hispanic on the court when appointed in 1932, but his roots were uncertain, the term "Hispanic" was not in use at the time, and many exclude the Portuguese from its meaning.[172][173][174])" This statement is enough, to my taste even more than enough. There is a jillion sources out there today that say Sotomayor will be the first Hispanic on the court if she is confirmed. We are not going to go against them and on our own decide Cardoza merits the claim. The evidence just isn't there and WP:COMMON applies here. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:08, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
* Just a slight deviation from the topic here to address a point just made- the statement in the article referenced above, ...the term "Hispanic" was not in use at the time... is technically incorrect. It was in use in academia; just one example is the Hispanic American Historical Review published as early as 1918. Perhaps that should be modified to "not in common use" or some such.The Original Historygeek (talk) 09:56, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
* Hmm ... this is a NYT archives search for "Hispanic" from 1851 to 1932, it returns 426 hits. So it was in some kind of common use as well, to a limited extent. Looking at the first few pages of hits, most are to the "Hispanic Society of America" or the "Hispanic Museum", but few if any seem to be describing individual people as Hispanics as an ethnic identity, which is the use in question here. The term becomes much more commonly used later; if you extend the search to 1980, you get 5,563 hits, and if you extend it to today, you get over 32,000 hits.

The very word "Hispanic" was invented by the US government, and applied to categorize Latin Americans originally, used less for the people of Spain. Most Spaniards I know recoil from the term; forget about applying it to the Portuguese. We should not even mention Cardozo in this article when we say that Sotomayor is the first Hispanic justice. Cardozo was a great justice, but not at all Hispanic/Latino. RafaelRGarcia (talk) 05:07, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
yes, Benjamin Cardozo. Title 49, Section 26.5 of the Code of Federal Regulations defines "Hispanic American" as "persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central or South American, or other Spanish or Portuguese culture or origin, regardless of race." Cardozo is unquestionably of "Spanish or Portugese . . . origin." Therefore, according to the federal government, Cardozo is Hispanic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:17, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
* Why are you quoting the Transportation Code? Have the other codes edited out such language? In any case, the article could have the word changed to "Latino" or "Latina" and end this trifle if necessary. And Cardozo's family didn't retain its Portuguese culture or language. RafaelRGarcia (talk) 18:21, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
* Just a minor technical point- the term "Hispanic" was not invented by the US government, but officially adopted by it during the Nixon Administration in the early 1970's. It was already in use by academia for at least a hundred years and entered the political lexicon in the 1960's (at the latest). It should also be pointed out that the CFR cited for the definition of Hispanic is not definitive on the government on the whole. That particular section governs regulations in the Transportation Department only. The OMB for example has its own regs which exclude the Port. in their definition.The Original Historygeek (talk) 18:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
The term "Hispanic" is actually quite old. It was not invented by the American Government, but the Romans. I don't usually cite wikipedia for such things, but since we're in here already... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispania —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:47, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
* From WEBSTER:
* Function: adjective * Etymology: Latin hispanicus, from Hispania Iberian Peninsula, Spain * Date: 1584
1 : of or relating to the people, speech, or culture of Spain or of Spain and Portugal 2 : of, relating to, or being a person of Latin American descent living in the United States; especially : one of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin.
* Cardozo was a Sephardic Jew, who's family belonged to a Portugese congregation. By definition, his family origins were in Spain via Portugal. The reason other sources are identifying Sotomayor as the first Hispanic is because half of them are looking up their info on Wikipedia (and the other half don't know the difference between Hispanic and Latino (much less the difference between Latino and Latina) FiveRings (talk) 15:33, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
* This issue is addressed at much greater length at Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States. As the literature explains, Cardozo was uncertain of his family origins, but his family tradition held that at least one line derived from Portugal. The issue is not the definition of "Hispanic" but the lack of concrete evidence regarding Cardozo's ancestry. bd2412 T 15:48, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
* Even now, "Hispanic" is a self-definition. Nobody asks for family documentation - the question is if you call yourself Hispanic, or Spanish-descended. Like I said, he was a self-identified (born and raised) Separdic Jew, ie, descended from inquisition refugees. FiveRings (talk) 16:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
* Oh, and as for the claim that "Hispanic" wasn't in use at the time - when Thurgood Marshall was appointed, in 1967, the term "African American" wasn't in use either. Does that make him not the first African American justice? FiveRings (talk) 03:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
* FiveRings, I suggest to open an account for a blog. The issue of Cardozo is dead, just check Google News. I recommend that you read the article about Cardozo: "Cardozo-biographer Kaufman, for example, questioned the usage of the term "Hispanic" in the justice's lifetime, stating: "Well, I think he regarded himself as a Sephardic Jew whose ancestors came from the Iberian Peninsula.”[18].....It has also been asserted that Cardozo himself "confessed in 1937 that his family preserved neither the Spanish language nor Iberian cultural traditions".[19] Both the National Association of Latino Elected Officials and the Hispanic National Bar Association consider Sonia Sotomayor to be the first unequivocally Hispanic justice.[15][18]". Lets move on with this fringe theory. Wikipedia is not about opinion but about reliable sources. (WP:UNDUE, is also a good read).--Jmundo (talk) 04:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
* Jmundo, I suggest to look up "synonym". Webster's online defines "hispanic", first, as "of or relating to the people, speech, or culture of Spain or of Spain and Portugal". The book "Cardozo" by Andrew L. Kaufman (page 6) says "The family into which Benjamin Nathan Cardozo was born on May 24, 1870, was part of a distinct and well-established Jewish community in New York City. It was a Sephardic family, descended from those Jews who had fled from the Iberian peninsula during the Inquisition and had come to America via the Netherlands and England" Sephardic culture is Hispanic. There is no original research here. And there is no consensus. FiveRings (talk) 05:05, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
Just found a better cite: the Dictionary of Latino Civil Rights History, by F. Arturo Rosales, Arte Publico Press (February 28, 2007), page 59: "The first Hispanic named to the Supreme Court of the United States was Benjamin Nathan Cardozo of the famed Sephardic Jewish family which dated back to colonial days." This is specific, unequivocal, uses the term "hispanic", and is a RELIABLE SOURCE. FiveRings (talk) 05:28, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
* I have personaly reviewed the information and according to either the specific or broad definition of hispanic, Benjamin Nathan Cardozo is indeed of hispanic origion. I should point out that being a practicing and descended Sephardic Jew, by definition he is from hispanic decent. Sephardic Judaism developed from Spain, which last time I checked is where hispanics are from. I will not make the change now seeing as how it is such as hot and yet new topic; however, this will need to be addressed and I will be placing a disputed article header on the article untill this issue is resolved. --Jab843 (talk) 08:14, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
* That is speculative at best. There is no evidence of Cardozo's lineage to Spain. Just because he was a Sephardi Jews does not guarantee that he himself is directly of Spanish decent. -TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:04, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
* Actually, that is exactly what it means, if by "Spanish" you mean "Hispanic".
* The question of whether Cardozo was Hispanic has now spilled over into at least four articles (this one, as well as Benjamin N. Cardozo, Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination, and Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States, and will probably continue to spill unless it is capped. It needs to be resolved, finally and dispositively. The place for that discussion is Talk:Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States, which is the only article that should have any substantial focus on disputed questions of the ethnicity of Justices. bd2412 T 18:31, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
* In this case (only) I agree with BD. This is a very topical topic, getting a lot of attention, and therefore a lot of new editors. We're going to be playing undo-pong if the discussion isn't restricted to one area. That said, however, since the matter isn't settled, and since WP policy is to respect all viewpoints, she should be described elsewhere as the first "Latina" (or first "of Latin-American descent"), not the first Hispanic. FiveRings (talk) 18:50, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
* Since Sotomayor has been universally reported by major media outlets as the first Hispanic Justice, I think the appropriate resolution is the one that has been undertaken, which is to report her as such with a footnote noting that some consider Cardozo to have been the first Hispanic Justice. bd2412 T 18:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
* Also, Jab843 is not acting in good faith. At Talk:Benjamin N. Cardozo, he summarily declared of sourced in the article that "None of the refences state anything close to what the statment attributes them to"; it took me about two seconds to provide a link to the Google Books page showing that one of those references was a direct quote from the source referenced. He is throwing out declarations without doing the research. bd2412 T 18:41, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
I reverted the edit of Rex495 in the opening paragraph back to state that Sotomayor is the first Hispanic on the Court, but was unable to restore the Cardozo-related discussion with citations in the "Nomination to the Supreme Court" section. If someone else is able to do so, in order to fully restore the article to the previous version, I think it will be very beneficial.The Original Historygeek (talk) 16:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

People above are claiming she is the first Hispanic judge simply because the main stream media is reporting that story line, and the assumption is that Wikipedia is to become another mouthpiece in that story line.
False.
Encyclopedia writers, that's us, are to use reliable sources. MSM mouthing the politically correct mantra is NOT a reliable source when compared with a judicially determined matter where the issue was raised and determined in great detail.
A Sepharidic Jewish man was determined to be Hispanic in Doctor Alfred Bennun v. Rutgers State University, 941 F.2d 154, July 25, 1991, Rehearing and Rehearing In Banc Denied Aug. 21, 1991.
We encyclopedia writers can see that is a far more reliable source. And it says a Sephardic Jew is Hispanic.
Cardozo was a Sephardic Jew. Therefore Cardozo was Hispanic.
Cardozo was on the US Supreme Court. Therefore Cardozo was Hispanic on the US Supreme Court.
Cordozo may have been the first Hispanic on the US Supreme Court.
Sotomayor is NOT the first Hispanic on the US Supreme Court.
That is not my opinion. Those are the facts based on Doctor Alfred Bennun v. Rutgers State University.
The question is, will Wikipedia use Bennun as a reliable source or will it be swamped by editors finding MSM more reliable? --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 14:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Somehow the article's body lost all mention of her being the first Hispanic on the court. I've added that back in, with post-confirmation cites supporting that from Fox News, US News & World Report, and the Washington Post; I could easily add 100 more. I've also restored the old parenthetical material that discusses the Cardozo possibility, and I've added Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States to the "See also" section where readers can see the longer discussion of the Cardozo question. I don't see any better approach to handling this matter in all the recent Talk about it. "First racial/ethnic something" is often a social construct, and so the "right answer" is largely what people think it is. To use a comparison, there were several baseball players of some kind of Negro background who managed to briefly play in professional baseball in the decades before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. They got through because it was a low minor league and nobody noticed, or they were very light-skinned and nobody thought they were black, etc. None of that diminishes the importance of Jackie Robinson, because he was the first baseball player publicly recognized to be a Negro and publicly recognized to be the first Negro to be playing in the league. Sotomayor is in the same 'publicly recognized at the time' position, while Cardozo never was. (And no, I'm not comparing Sotomayor's task to Robinson's, he had it many many times harder than she has.) Wasted Time R (talk) 22:20, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Intro needs some work
Now that she's an associate justice, the intro needs to be reworked, to cut back on the blog-like details that articles accrue when multiple editors contribute to about someone who's in the news.
Here's an example of what I mean (changes in blue ):
* Sonia Maria Sotomayor (pronounced /ˈsoʊnjə ˌsoʊtɵ.maɪˈɔr/ ( listen), Spanish: /ˈsonja ˌsoto.maˈjoɾ/;[2] born June 25, 1954) is the 111th Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. She was sworn in for her current role on August 8, 2009 in a ceremony that made her the first Hispanic/Latino justice in the Court's history.
* Sotomayor is of Puerto Rican descent and was born in the Bronx. Her father died when she was nine, and she was subsequently raised by her mother. Sotomayor graduated with an A.B., summa cum laude, from Princeton University in 1976 and received her J.D. from Yale Law School in 1979, where she was an editor at the Yale Law Journal. She worked as an assistant district attorney in New York for five years before entering private practice in 1984. She played an active role on the boards of directors for the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, the State of New York Mortgage Agency, and the New York City Campaign Finance Board.
* Sotomayor was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President George H. W. Bush, a nomination confirmed in 1992. As a district court judge, Sotomayor ruled on several high–profile cases. In 1995, she issued a preliminary injunction that ended the 1994 Major League Baseball strike. A Sotomayor ruling allowed the Wall Street Journal to publish Vince Foster's final note.
* In 1997, she was nominated by President Bill Clinton to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Her nomination was slowed by the Republican majority in the Senate, but she was eventually confirmed in 1998. On the Second Circuit, Sotomayor heard appeals in more than 3,000 cases and wrote approximately 380 opinions.
* Sotomayor has taught at the New York University School of Law and Columbia Law School.
The version above is just an example. The real point I'm making is that someone needs to make a pass through the entire introduction. Thanks. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:30, 8 August 2009 (UTC).
* I've shuffled the lead section so that the first paragraph only states the most essential points of who she is, and I've started a fourth (and final) paragraph to cover her Supreme Court tenure. Over time, the Supreme Court coverage may need to expand to two paragraphs, with the current second and third being condensed into one, but for now this organization should suffice. Wasted Time R (talk) 22:33, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Some odd personal things in the article; POV?
While it might be noteworthy that Sotomayor is a diabetic and has daily injections, and probably that she willingly or unwillingly provoked controversy well before the "wise Latina" speech (e.g. when alleging discrimination in college and by a recruiting law firm), some of the other personal tidbits strewn throughout the article I myself find rather POV.
Her marital status is a fact and is fine to mention, but do we need quotes about why she decided to divorce? Do we need speculations about how her long workdays might have affected her personal life? There are a bunch of these at the present moment, and while I will refrain from editing a semi-protected article to avoid the despair of having someone revert it all back, I really hope that - once she's in the job and begins to make her mark on S.C. decisions - we can prune this rather obnoxious (and ultimately, historically insignificant) stuff out.
I haven't taken the time to see what David Souter's article looks like - for all I know there are read-between-the-lines hints about *his* unattached status and what that means about him as a human being - but I can imagine some folks being more inclined to say pitying and insulting things about an unattached Latina, because she's a more marked category than plain old vanilla New England bachelor. I might be wrong - but it's hard to have totally colorless filters for viewing a colorful character.
Again, just saying, I hope the extraneous will eventually be sifted out. Her work is the main thing, so-called compelling life story notwithstanding. Thanks. Rousse (talk) 21:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
* Much needs to be edited, but, given the topicality of the topic, much will be added before things calm down. As previously noted, a best use of time is to wait a bit before doing a wp:style edit. FiveRings (talk) 22:36, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
* The large majority of this article does cover her work. But this is meant to be a full biography of her as a person, and that includes health issues, marriage and divorce, and so on. If you read any regular biography in a bookstore or library, they cover these aspects of a person as well as a person's professional career, as do newspaper and magazine profiles. And the sourcing here doesn't rely on speculation as you claim, but on statements from Sotomayor and her friends as reported in mainstream news media. Nor is the description here pitying and insulting; she obviously enjoys life, regardless of whether she currently has a husband. As for an "unattached Latina" getting this level of attention, I gave the same attention to the personal lives of John McCain and Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in their articles, and none of them is an unattached Latina. This is the right way to do biography, to present the person as a whole. As for the David Souter article, it does cover a number of aspects of his personal life, but doesn't do the dark hinting that you're suggesting, unless you prefer to read it that way.

While I have nothing against the use of this photo per se, I am under the idea that this photo should be removed for purely esthetical reasons.

MISTAKES IN SONIA SOTOMAYOR'S EARLY EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON RECORD TO CORRECT WHAT I KNOW TO BE MISTAKES IN THE EARLY NYC RECORDS OF JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYOR.
IN 1963 (OR THEREABOUTS) SHE WAS LIVING ON KELLY ST. IN THE BRONX AND HER FATHER WAS ALIVE AND SHE WAS MY 5TH GRADE STUDENT AT P.S. 4 ON FULTON AVE. IN THE BRONX.
HER FATHER, JUAN SOTOMAYOR, GIFTED ME WITH A SELF MADE PAINTING AT THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND COULD SPEAK ENGLISH THAT I UNDERSTOOD.
SHE DID NOT RETURN TO P.S. 4 THE BRONX THE NEXT YEAR AS I LOOKED FOR HER I WAS TOLD HER FATHER PASSED AWAY AND SHE MOVED.
ANY AND ALL OTHER INFORMATION TO CONTRADICT THIS IS FALSE!!!!

* Your account isn't far off from the article. Kelly Street is in Soundview, and her father died when she was nine meaning likely 1963. While her father did not speak English when he first lived in U.S., by 1963 he would have likely have picked up some level of ability in it. As for her attending public school for some of her childhood, it may well be true, but we need a newspaper report to confirm that. Wasted Time R (talk) 18:52, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Valid external links
As a public official, Sotomayor has made numerous television appearances. She also has appeared (via archive footage) in documentaries and news reports. The external IMDb link is a valid link that should be added to allow those researching Sotomayor's appearances in the media. This has nothing to deal with celebrity status. I have added IMDb links to many politician Wikipedia articles and no other editor has complained. Personal reasons should not be a reason to remove valid external links That provide information and are not spam related. I have re-added the link. Please discuss the topic on this page and do not remove link until a valid conclusion can be determined on this Talk Page or via the assistance of Third Party administrators. Politicians, ambassadors, appointed officials are always in the public eye. They will continue to make appearances on television and film regardless if in person or via archived footage.--XLR8TION (talk) 03:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
This is the entire content of her IMDB entry: Overview Date of Birth: 25 June 1954, Bronx, New York City, New York, USA more Trivia: Nominated by President Barack Obama to the U.S. Supreme Court on May 26... more STARmeter: Down 19% in popularity this week. See why on IMDbPro.
Filmography Self:
1. "Larry King Live" .... Herself (2 episodes, 2009) - What Killed Michael Jackson? (2009) TV episode .... Herself - King of Pop Latest (2009) TV episode .... Herself
Archive Footage:

This is worthless. She didn't appear on Conan, this was just a news video of her spliced into some comedy skit. She didn't appear during any show that discussed the death of Michael Jackson. Her one well-known genuine TV appearance, in 1986 on Good Morning America in a show that profiled women ten years after college graduation, isn't even included in this entry! Her "Starmeter" says she's down 19% in popularity this week; what the hell does that mean? Is there some Gallup poll to back that up? No, it's meaningless, just a spam come-on for their pay service. Under "Trivia" it says she was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is the single most important thing about her, hardly trivia! IMDB has some value for actors, but this entry is complete worthless crap and does not deserve to be linked to from this article. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:38, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
* Once again, appearances can be archived fottage. JFK did not appear in the film "JFK", but archived footage of the Zapruder film was used. The IMDb is one of the most respected and visited sites on the web. As a contributor to that site as well, administrators on that website now require valid links or specific periodical information before they will add/change a Date of Birth/Death. The same way Wikipedia asks for references, they do also. How do you know she did not appear in those episodes of "Conan"? Did you see every single episode? Once again, archive footage is also documented on IMDb.--XLR8TION (talk) 04:14, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
* You can't be seriously suggesting that Sotomayor actually appeared as a live guest on Conan - three nights in a row, no less. Come off it please. Tvoz / talk 05:00, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
* Archived footage of her has appeared on dozens of TV news shows. Her confirmation hearings were telecast in their entirety on C-SPAN and large segments were shown on other cable news networks. Why aren't any of these listed? Why are two Larry King footage clips more important than dozens of other appearances on CNN? Again, her most famous interview TV appearance is completely missing. If you were looking for all the places to find video footage of Sotomayor, this IMDB entry would be the worst place to start.

←First, I have to point out, XLR8TION, that you are on the verge of a 3RR violation, having made your reversion three times in less than 24 hours, despite the fact that two separate editors have disputed the edit. So it is really you who should have brought this here without making that last reversion, which I am undoing because you do not have consensus for your addition. This has nothing to do with "personal reasons" as you allege above - indeed as one of the editors who reverted your edit, I have no idea what you're even suggesting with that comment. The fact is that many if not most political figures and people in the news may have IMDB pages, but unless they are individuals for whom their TV appearances represent a significant part of their career, I'd say the listing is not appropriate for their Wikipedia biographies. I don't know whose pages you've added this to, but that's really not a very strong argument, nor is it relevant: in fact I've checked the other 8 Justices of the Supreme Court and none of them have their IMDB link - and all of them have similar appearance histories. In fact a quick look at an array of articles about political figures across the political spectrum - all of whom have IMDb pages, some much more extensive than Sotomayor's - yields none with their IMDB page in the external links. Precedent alone wouldn't necessarily mean we shouldn't include it - but you haven't given any compelling reason to do so here, and the particulars of Sotomayor's IMDB page are ridiculous to include. Tvoz / talk 04:34, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
* First of all, Tvoz, do not use sarcasm with me. This is a civil discussion. Keep iot that way. I have re-added the link as all links that have a valid connection with the subject and documents their past history, present activities, etc., is considered valid as long as there is no underlying spam content in it. I have added the IMDB link on numerous politicians and I find it biased that editors who lean to the right (oh yes, I have observed the conservative leaning edits of some editors, I won't name names) who wish to eliminate any positive references and include only their POV links in an article. I am both Latino and Puerto Rican, and I feel elated that Judge Sotomayor is on the High Court. I will continue to positively edit her article and include links related to her, as well as removed vandalism that attacks her character (I have done it numerous times in the past). Before removing any links, please discuss topic before I open a ticket for administrator opinion. By the way, I have not reverted the article, but manually re-added the link. Please do not remove the link until this discussion comes to a point that I will have to open the request. Act civil and don't act like the member of some right-wing fringe group who wished to rewrite history in their own light. I have dealt with such editors on this site, and civil discussion followed by request for assistance is the way to go. --XLR8TION (talk) 08:29, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
* Sigh. Your accusations of editor bias here and at Editor assistance/Requests are silly. Inclusion of IMDB links is generally of no political significance, and if inclusion of this one has any, it's to make Sotomayor look bad. It calls her crowning achievement in life trivial and suggests to the uninitiated that she appeared on a talk show to discuss Michael Jackson's death, which for a sitting judge would be highly unusual and borderline improper. But I'm not calling you a right-winger for wanting to include it. Wasted Time R (talk) 13:21, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Third, how in heaven's name is anyone rewriting history by removing an insignificant IMDB link that has no relevance to the career of this individual? Fourth, manually re-adding the same material is exactly the same thing as reverting - 3RR applies, and you've been asked to stop re-adding material without consensus. Finally, we are supposed to be editing neutrally not positively or negatively, so I find your comment above revealing - you are the one with an agenda, I am afraid, and while my personal opinion of Justice Sotomayor may actually be quite in line with yours, it has nothing to do with how I edit hers or any article. By all means, ask for other opinions, but stop edit warring and throwing silly accusations at long-time well-respected editors who happen to disagree with your insistence on including this material here.

* This was discussed last year, see Talk:Sonia_Sotomayor/Archive_2. The consensus was that since her membership solely consisted of her paying the $35 annual dues, and that she didn't attend conferences or participate in the leadership or do anything like that, it did not merit mentioning. There could be a dozen organizations that she belonged to at that level, just like you and I do.

First year analysis
I was planning on adding some analysis of Sotomayor's first year once the term was over, but I have two problems with what was added today: I gather that the material was removed from the Supreme Court article because it was too off topic there, but that doesn't mean that it's all appropriate here ... Wasted Time R (talk) 03:41, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
* 1) It verges on OR, has no secondary sources, and the language sounds cribbed from one of the Supreme Court blogs out there.
* 2) It's too long. Sotomayor is likely to be on the court for 25 years or more. Multiply this treatment of the first year (with still some rulings to be handed down!) by 25 and you have an unsustainable length.
* Since I was the one who wrote it originally in the SCOTUS article, I can tell you some of the context and source. The descriptions of the cases is taken from the syllabii (not Supreme Court blogs, though they probably also rely at least partially on that), which are referenced though primary sources. The reason the material was in the SCOTUS article was as part of the "Judicial leanings" section. We did not (and still do not) have a reliable, verifiable source that identifies Sotomayor within the "wings" (conservative, liberal, perhaps swing vote) inside the Court, so the extensive description of her votes so far was in lieu of that. It was removed from there mainly for length and because it placed undue emphasis on her. As soon as reliable secondary sources are available discussing her jurisprudence, this entire thing would go out the window in favor of that, at least the way I see it (same for the corresponding section in the SCOTUS article). Magidin (talk) 05:09, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
* Well, I intend to replace this with a much more succinct version as soon as the term ends and analyses of her first year are written. And as you seem to acknowledge in the text, most decisions of the court do not break down under "the commonly perceived ideological lines", so why list out the details of those few cases that do? Cases should be mentioned only if they are really important (Citizens United would qualify) and/or if Sotomayor played an especially important role in the decision. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:05, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
* As to replacing it as soon as the analyses are written, absolutely. As I noted above, this summary was in the SCOTUS article because no such analyses are available yet, and even the shortened version that remains there will be removed once those analyses come in. As to the reason to list the few cases that did break down along the ideological lines, this is inherited from the fact that this was part of the Ideological leanings section in the SCOTUS article, so those particular cases that divide the Justices into the usual "camps" were more relevant (within the context of how many cases there were). This is not necessarily the case here, so absolutely redraft in the meantime if you believe it appropriate. The emphasis to be placed here is naturally different from the one there. I only started watching this page after the text was copied here, so I'm wary of changing the tone because I don't have a feel yet for what the correct tone for this page is, and will gladly step aside for those who have labored here. Magidin (talk) 16:51, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
In any case, and in light of this week's decisions, I removed most of the details and simply placed a quote from Toobin from back in March, and a quick "summary" saying that in the handful of cases in which we've had the "conservatives" (Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito) on one side and the "liberals" (Stevens, Ginsburg, and Breyer) on the other, Sotomayor has so far always been in the latter camp. I hope this is appropriate while we wait for the end-of-term analysis from reliable sources. Magidin (talk) 03:33, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Edit war over degrees in infobox
Two editors have been edit warring over the inclusion or dis-inclusion of the degrees earned by Sotomayor from her two alma maters, as listed in the infobox. It would seem to be more constructive to work on other more pressing issues and articles in WP, especially when it would appear (without digging into it) to be more of a matter of stylistic preference than substantive import. I'm neutral. — Becksguy (talk) 07:12, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
* This should be settled project-wide at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (biographies) or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography, and not argued at each infobox. This is the third or fourth biographical article I've seen where this is being fought over. I'm neutral as well. Although in cases like this – lawyers – the degrees are pretty obvious: the first is going to be a bachelor's and the law school one is going to be a J.D. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Yes, MOS would seem to be an appropriate places to settle this stylistically. What helps the reader get the most from an article should be our major consideration. And also consistency across articles of the same kind. But in this specific case, I don't see either as intrinsically right or wrong. One could, perhaps, say that having the degrees listed in the infobox saves a reader from looking for them elsewhere in the article. But at the cost of an edit war and having a reviewer approve pending changes? I think not. And yes, a law school usually grants JD degrees, so that one might be a no brainer. Eveyone is invited to weigh in at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (biographies) where I initiated a discussion on this. — Becksguy (talk) 21:21, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
* Concur with Becksguy for the most part but would hate to see a mandatory MOS ruling come down. If a judge or lawyer received law degrees from prestigious schools, it would be nice to see those at a glance. By the same token, suppose you had a lawyer who went to night school, recieved a degree from non-prestigious school but went on to become famous? That would catch my attention. moreno oso (talk) 21:26, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
* Nobody's arguing for removing the schools from the infobox. You can still see that Sotomayor went to Princeton and to Yale Law School, either way. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:44, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Miguel Estrada
The following line is generating some controversy: "Some of the fervor with which conservatives viewed the Sotomayor nomination was due to the history and grievances of federal judicial nomination battles going back to the 1987 Robert Bork Supreme Court nomination, especially Miguel Estrada, a Hispanic judicial nominee to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, who was filibustered by Democratic senators during the Bush administration."
In cleaning up an old wording of the line, I removed the word Hispanic because it was irrelevant to the filibuster issue. The reason Democrats filibustered Estrada was not because of his ethnicity but because he was conservative. Drrll put Hispanic back in and the explanation was "relevant to filibuster." Fat&Happy reverted Drrll's change, and the explanation was "relevance of ethnicity not demonstrated." Drrll put Hispanic back in, this time saying: "NYT ref: 'One whose nomination was blocked was Miguel Estrada…nominated… to …appeals court…which would have put him in position to become the first Hispanic justice'". Drrll is correct about the NYT quote, but that doesn't mean the word belongs here. The Times can say all sorts of things that may be interesting but aren't necessarily relevant to the article's assertion. Labeling Estrada Hispanic without explanation as to why it is relevant to the filibuster issue is misleading. I don't know how Fat&Happy feels about this now, but I believe the label should be removed. Comments?--Bbb23 (talk) 23:52, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
* Agree with Drrll - the fact is he would have been the first Hispanic SCOTUS Justice. And, seeing how it appears in the article as verified by you, it can and should be included. moreno oso (talk) 00:01, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
* The quoted comment from NYT was an after-the-fact throwaway line. It was in an article about confirmation hearings for Sotomayor, and may have been simply making the point that, absent the filibuster, he, not she, may well have been the first Hispanic member of SCOTUS. If we had proof of that meaning, it would be appropriate for inclusion in his biography, and possibly even in hers. We don't. It could also have been intended to assert his ethnicity contributed to the boycott, but we have no clear indication of that either. I see no reason to include the ethnic description, but if it is to be included, it needs some explanatory context. Possibly something along the lines of:
* "...especially Miguel Estrada, whose nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, was filibustered by Democrats during the Bush administration, and who would have been well-positioned to become the first Hispanic Justice of the Supreme Court if his appointment had succeeded."
* would be an acceptable compromise, though I still consider it unnecessarily long. Fat&Happy (talk) 00:28, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
* I not only agree that the compromise suggested by Fat&Happy is "unnecessarily long", I also think it just doesn't belong in this article, which is about Sotomayor, not about Estrada. I get the irony in what the NYT was saying, but it still has nothing to do with the context of the WP article. I also think it's too speculative to say that Estrada would have been well-positioned to become the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:46, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
* The last name of Estrada is already a good indicator as to ethnicity. It's not similar to say, Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice, whose ethnic background isn't readily apparent by their last names. I would still tend to agree that Hispanic belongs for both Estrada and Sotomayer. This is why Estrada is even mentioned in article, no? I dropped the soap (✐) 00:33, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
* above troll has been indef'd. Jack Merridew 07:32, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Whether to mention Estrada in the article was discussed at length a year ago – see Talk:Sonia_Sotomayor/Archive 2 – with the result that he wasn't. Estrada wasn't a factor in Sotomayor's appeals court nomination slow-walk (since the Estrada episode hadn't happened yet) and he wasn't much of a factor in the Republican animus against her Supreme Court nomination ("wise Latina" took care of that nicely). So I really don't see what's changed between last year and now. I'd also be strongly against adding words like "who would have been well-positioned to become the first Hispanic Justice of the Supreme Court" ... that's a lot of if's and a variant of WP:NOTCRYSTAL. Plenty of people have been seen as on the track for a Supreme Court nomination that never happened. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:48, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
* Based upon Wasted Time R's post, I'd recommend non-inclusion. moreno oso (talk) 00:54, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
* Non-inclusion of what exactly, the Estrada sentence in its entirety, the part that starts with the word "especially", or something else? Personally, I'd be content with removing the entire sentence as I don't think what happened to Estrada is that notable in the Sotomayor article. Might have been different had Republicans filibustered Sotomayor.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:59, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
* Oh, OK. I thought the discussion was only about the inclusion of "Hispanic". On the broader question, I agree Estrada isn't a big enough issue to be included in this article, especially since no filibuster of Sotomayor materialized. Fat&Happy (talk) 01:33, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
* Do we have any consensus on what to do? Barring some objection, I'm in favor of removing the entire comment, specifically "Some of the fervor with which conservatives viewed the Sotomayor nomination was due to the history and grievances of federal judicial nomination battles going back to the 1987 Robert Bork Supreme Court nomination, especially Miguel Estrada, a Hispanic judicial nominee to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, who was filibustered by Democratic senators during the Bush administration."--Bbb23 (talk) 23:56, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
* I'm in favor of keeping "Some of the fervor with which conservatives viewed the Sotomayor nomination was due to the history and grievances of federal judicial nomination battles going back to the 1987 Robert Bork Supreme Court nomination", which has been in the article all along and seems obviously true, and removing the rest. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:08, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
* At least, that restricts it to Supreme Court nominees. I would still reword the sentence to be more in keeping with the source: "Some of the fervor with which conservatives viewed the Sotomayor nomination was fueled by the past mistreatment of conservative nominees, including Robert H. Bork (not confirmed in 1987) and Clarence Thomas (narrowly confirmed four years later)."--Bbb23 (talk) 00:22, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
* I agree with your wording change to include Clarence Thomas, as it reflects both what the source says and what much of the discussion was at the time by conservatives. For the same reasons, plus the fact that it was especially sensitive to conservatives at the time that Sotomayor--rather than Estrada--would become the first Hispanic justice, I think the Estrada bit should stay in. Drrll (talk) 00:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
* I would prefer "treatment" rather than the somewhat POV "mistreatment"; other than that, I concur with Bbb23's proposed wording, adding Thomas and omitting Estrada. Fat&Happy (talk) 00:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
* Aaah, treatment - so much simpler, and I was anguishing over putting mistreatment in quotes or saying stupid, legalistic things like alleged mistreatment. I still want to wait to see if anyone else agrees with Drrll.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:48, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
* Sorry, but it's what Republicans and conservatives thought of as the treatment. Many libs and Dems think Bork was treated just right, and think Thomas got an undeserved benefit of the doubt. Also, it's not just about SCOTUS noms – there hasn't been a really contentious one since Thomas. As the source makes clear, it's also about appeals court nominations, first the slowwalk of the second term Clinton noms, then the filibustering of the Bush noms. That's what led to talk of the nuclear option, not anything related to the Supreme Court. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:56, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
* I'm lost. Do you want to leave the Estrada part in then because I thought you said you didn't? Perhaps you just object to the rewording, but even if we don't add what I suggested, the original wording is awkward. "History and grievances of federal judicial nomination battles" makes no sense. It may be the history of the battles but it's not the grievances of the battles. The preposition of doesn't work with grievances. The source used the word grievance but its usage made sense: "Those emotions, say people who have followed the confirmation wars, are often fueled by the sense of grievance among conservatives and Republicans who say their judicial nominees have been treated unfairly and, sometimes, disrespectfully." So, if you want to hew as closely to the old sentence as possible but correct the structural error, how about just taking out the two words "and grievances" so it just says "history of federal judicial nomination battles," etc.? That also addresses your apparent concern that this is not limited to S. Ct. noominee battles.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:09, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
* No, I don't want to leave Estrada in, but I do want to say federal judicial nomination battles not Supreme Court battles. (Why did Ginsberg and Breyer get near-unanimous votes but Sotomayor and Kagan aren't? It has to do with the appeals court battles that happened in between.) Just saying "history of ... battles" doesn't do it justice, because the Republicans and conservatives are really, really torqued by this issue. The language has got to get that across. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:35, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
* My last suggestion for the day (after this, I'm turning off my computer): "Some of the fervor with which conservatives viewed the Sotomayor nomination was due to 'the sense of grievance among conservatives and Republicans" over the history of federal judicial nomination battles going back to the 1987 Robert Bork Supreme Court nomination." If that's not satisfactory, please suggest something else, but not the original sentence with the syntactical error.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Disposition of five opinions Sotomayor joined in or wrote, on which the Supreme Court has ruled.
Case 04-1371 MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH, INC., PETITIONER v. SHADI DABIT decided March 21, 2006 overruled 8-0 (Justice Alito did not participate) http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/05pdf/04-1371.pdf
Supreme Court Case 06-766 NY Board of Elections v. Lopez Torres decided 1/16/2008 Overruling the Federal Second Circuit Court 9-0 http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/07pdf/06-766.pdf
Two Cases combined, written opinion by Sotomayor overruled in both. Decided June 29, 2009 Case 07–1428 FRANK RICCI, ET AL., PETITIONERS v. JOHN DESTEFANO ET AL. and 08–328 FRANK RICCI, ET AL., PETITIONERS v. JOHN DESTEFANO ET AL. Judge Sonia Sotomayor wrote the opinion and was reversed on this firefighter case 5-4. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/08pdf/07-1428.pdf
Case # 00-201 decided June 25, 2001 NEW YORK TIMES CO., INC., et al. v. TASINI et al. Sotomayor’s court overruled 7-2. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/boundvolumes/533bv.pdf
Three Cases Combined (the Sotomayor court’s opinion overruled in 03-1274) 03-1116 GRANHOLM, GOV. OF MI, ET AL. V. HEALD, ELEANOR, ET AL. 03-1120 MI BEER & WINE WHOLESALERS V. HEALD, ELEANOR, ET AL. 03-1274 SWEDENBURG, JUANITA, ET AL. V. KELLY, EDWARD D., ET AL. Overruled by vote of 5-4 http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/04pdf/03-1116.pdf
In just 5 cases the total vote against Sotomayor’s opinions was 34 to 10 by the Supreme Court Justices. In her 5 cases the average vote to overrule her and her courts opinions was 6.8 to 2 ! Over 77% of the Supreme Court Justice’s votes were to OVERRULE opinions Sotomayor joined in or wrote!
[Author's remark to omit when inserted: This will balance the very slanted, deceptive and false view current presented by the article as it now stands. The current claim only 2 or 5 overruled is 100% false. I can find no final Supreme Court opinions that upheld the findings of Sotomayor and her court. All I see is where the Supreme Court declined to accept her and her courts cases.] —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:40, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
* The article text says "Over her ten years on the Second Circuit, Sotomayor heard appeals in more than 3,000 cases and wrote about 380 opinions where she was in the majority.[11] The Supreme Court reviewed five of those, reversing three and affirming two[11]—not high numbers for an appellate judge of that many years[16] and a typical percentage of reversals.[103]" So the statement is only about cases where she is known to have written the majority opinion, not those where she simply joined the majority or where the opinion was unsigned. Given this, the three reversals are (see this FactCheck.org piece for another source on this):
* in 2001, a 5-4 decision in Correctional Services Corporation v. Malesko

I do not have time to do your work. Ignoring a case where she is the one and only judge, wrote the opinion/ruling the Supreme Court overruled is covering up the quality or lack of quality in Judge Sotomayor's judicial work. Now, try understanding legal reality, if you join an opinion and do not write an alternate opinion which points out the errors or problems, & your alternate conclusions, then the opinion & its conclusion are also yours, not just the writers. When it is overruled your judicial judgment has been overruled and found wanting.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:37, 26 October 2010 (UTC)]
* 2. in 2005, an 8-0 decision in Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. v. Dabit
* 3. in early 2009, a 6-3 decision in Entergy v. Riverkeeper
[Hunt for this case and the rest at http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/opinions.aspx Verify that what happened is accurately reported, often it is not.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:37, 26 October 2010 (UTC)]
* While the two upholdings are (see this CNN story):
* from 2005, upheld 5-4 in Empire Healthchoice Assurance, Inc. vs. McVeigh
* from 2006, upheld in Knight vs. Commissioner (but reasoning unanimously deemed faulty)
* These figures are from the time of her Supreme Court nomination, and don't include Ricci v. DeStefano, which came later. But it's not known who wrote the (brief) Second Appeals Court decision in Ricci, so I don't think it would have been counted in this analysis anyway. They also don't count the reversal in Tasini vs. New York Times, which was her decision as a district court judge, not appeals court.
* The overall context is that the Supreme Court doesn't review a case at all unless it's likely to reverse it (it generally takes four votes to review, five to reverse, so there isn't a big jump). Per this source, the court reverses about 75 percent of the cases it reviews. Wasted Time R (talk) 12:28, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
* In that case, to get an accurate sense of Sotomayor's appellate jurisprudence, we would have to see the number of opinions written by her for which cert was denied. bd2412 T 00:32, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
* That would be an interesting number, but I don't remember running across a story that gives it. However it still wouldn't be the full picture. An appellate judge who writes solid opinions won't have many cases appealed to the Supreme Court in the first place. And there are probably other variables at play too, such as the mix of cases each appellate court tends to get and the era that a judge is on the bench during. So comparing 'reversal stats' across judges is a non-trivial exercise. -Wasted Time R (talk) 01:02, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Apologies.
My previous insertion of material here was not factual. The source I took it from got it, in turn, from a hoax. It now seems that Sonia Sotomayor did not suggest the castration of white men.

The consensus was that since her membership solely consisted of her paying the $35 annual dues, and that she didn't attend conferences or participate in the leadership or do anything like that, it did not merit mentioning. There could be a dozen organizations that she belonged to at that level, just like you and I do.

Catholic?
I thought Sotomayor was a "lapsed" Catholic. Are non-practicing Catholics considered Catholic? Or would ex-Catholic or former Catholic be more appropriate?
* The article discusses her religion a bit and cites to this source, which indicates that she doesn't attend mass regularly but does so on occasion.

* As the NYT piece says, "There are indications that Judge Sotomayor is more like the majority of American Catholics: those who were raised in the faith and shaped by its values, but who do not attend Mass regularly and are not particularly active in religious life."

For that matter, this article doesn't mention Jeffrey Rosen's “The Case Against Sotomayor” article, which is better known, came out before the nomination, and covered much of the same bases.

Please change, "Sotomayor is the Court's 111th justice, its first Hispanic justice, and its third female justice." to "Sotomayor is the Court's 111th justice and its third female justice.", because Benjamin N. Cardozo was the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice, from 1932 to 1938. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of credible citation sources, many from Ivy League Law School Graduates over many decades who have performed exhaustive research, which unequivocally state Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo's mother and father were sephardic Jews with Portugese roots. If you wish to read some of these citations, I will gladly oblige. Thank you. Flyingace103 (talk) 18:03, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Why no mention whatsoever about Sotomayor belonging to the liberal wing in the opening paragraphs??
Hi. Just wondering why neither Sotomayor nor Kagan have anything at all in their opening paragraphs that detail their decidedly liberal leanings? I think everyone would agree that these two Associate Justices are members of the Court’s liberal wing, and I’m sure there’s plenty of citations to support it. Further, it’s not like any other Justice lacks a similar description of where they stand on the Court politically speaking. Don't believe me? Observe: (taken from the opening paragraphs on each Justice's Wikipedia page)
Roberts: “He has been described as having a conservative judicial philosophy in his jurisprudence." Scalia: “Scalia has been described as the intellectual anchor of the Court's conservative wing." Kennedy: “Kennedy has often been the "swing vote" on many of the Court's 5–4 decisions." Thomas: “He is generally viewed as among the most conservative members of the Court." Ginsburg: “She is generally viewed as belonging to the liberal wing of the Court." Breyer: “Breyer is generally associated with the more liberal side of the Court." Alito: “Alito has been described by the Cato Institute as a conservative jurist with a libertarian streak.”
Sotomayor: (nothing) Kagan: (nothing)
What gives? I’m sure it’s just an innocent oversight, right? But if so, could someone who’s logged in (and who has access to this "locked" page) please rectify this situation in order to conform to the other Justices’ opening paragraphs? Fair is fair, after all. Thanks<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:57, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
* I've added text from the article body to the lead: "On the court, Sotomayor has been a reliable member of the liberal bloc when the justices divide along the commonly perceived ideological lines." That qualifier is important because a large number of cases are unanimous, and another bunch of cases are on obscure tax or business law or similar issues and don't divide ideologically.

ONE THING OF IMPORTANCE
Number 1- hispanic and latino are not interchangeable. Either she is Latina or Hispanic, or you must always write "the first Hispanic, Latino or Spanish Justice" instead of "the first hispanic justice". — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:34, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
* The two terms mean somewhat different things, but there is a large intersection between them, and Sotomayor as part of that intersection. A Google News Archive search for her name and 'Hispanic' gets 7,400 hits, while one with 'Latina' gets 4,800 hits, so both characterizations of her are in common use. So I think it's okay if the article uses both terms as well. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:58, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Why no mention of Benjamin Nathan Cardozo as the first hispanic supreme court judge?
From the wiki page on Cardozo:
Both Cardozo's maternal grandparents, Sara Seixas and Isaac Mendes Seixas Nathan, and his paternal grandparents, Ellen Hart and Michael H. Cardozo, were Sephardi Jews of the Portuguese Jewish community affiliated with Manhattan's Congregation Shearith Israel; their families emigrated from England before the American Revolution, and were descended from Jews who left the Iberian Peninsula for Holland during the Inquisition.[2] Cardozo family tradition held that their ancestors were Marranos from Portugal,[2] although Cardozo's ancestry has not been firmly traced to Portugal.[3] "Cardozo" (archaic spelling of Cardoso), "Seixas" and "Mendes" are common Portuguese surnames.

Not the police who strong armed him, not the polygrapher who lied, not he himself for confessing to something he didn't do, not the jury, not the trial judge, not the first state appellate court, not the second state appellate court, not the first federal court or the attorney or clerk who messed up on the date, not the Supreme Court.

* Sotomayor and another judge in the Court of Appeals ruled on a technical point of the rules that govern how appeals are made. This happens frequently, at all levels. As Justice Holmes once said to a lawyer arguing before the Supreme Court who complained that the result was unjust, "This is a Court of Law, not a Court of Justice." I really don't see how this is notable enough for inclusion. Magidin (talk) 15:00, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
* you have a section called "notable rulings" that talks about the baseball strike, as well as a ruling that didn't even hold up, but the fact that she kept someone in jail for years because she didn't want to let a dna test fly isn't notable enough for inclusion? that sounds ridiculous to me. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:33, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
* The point is that this is not a "notable ruling": it was a denial of a request to waive the usual rules of procedure. It's something that happens frequently, at all levels. To characterize this technical ruling as her, personally, "ke[eeping] someone in jail for years" is an unwarranted exaggeration. It was not "because she didn't want to let a DNA test fly"; it was because they filed the appeal too late. And the ruling was about whether they could claim an exemption to the rule that specifies when appeals should be made. Did you bother to read the articles you submitted? Yes, this was a big deal for the person involved, but Sotomayor did not play the large role you seem to think she played. Far more relevant is the fact that his lawyer did not know the rules and failed to follow them. Why not claim that it was his lawyer that "kept him in jail for years"? Moreover, this item has not commanded sufficient notability to warrant inclusion, in my opinion, no matter how much hyperbole you throw in. 17:03, 8 April 2013 (UTC) --Magidin (Magidin didn't sign comment so I'm adding it. ─ Matthewi (Talk) •)
* Correct. In the absence of evidence that this topic has attracted sustained interest from multiple reliable sources, it would be undue weight to include it here. Rivertorch (talk) 19:13, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

* I'm agreeing with those that are saying a notation like that would give undue weight to the situation AND it just isn't the type of information that needs included. There are hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands, of important decisions that could be listed in the articles of just one well known politician or judges if that was the standard. If there is enough of rulings of like this by multiple judges an article might be setup for that specifically it just doesn't belong on this page. I agree with Magidin that for a sitting Supreme Court Justices, the interest in this case doesn't meet the standard. ─ Matthewi (Talk) • 06:43, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
* when you say that this isn't the type of information that should be included in this article, I take offense to that. the supreme court justices are supposed to be the fairest, and to see that she let an innocent man rot in jail for six years because their lawyer was four days late in filling out some paper work, I just don't agree that that shouldn't be included. Just having this on the talk page is enough for me, because if someone really wants to look around and study up, this is enough. Sotomayor should be held to a higher standard than the rest, and the fact that you people are just so inclined to argue against something like this is bs. there are trivial appellate court decision on this article that don't compare to something of this magnitude and the fact that everyone is arguing against it seems more like a mask than anything to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:02, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
Wikipedia isn't to discuss and make known what an individual person might think is important or should be known -- that's a blog. If Wikipedia reflected what the millions of users or even hundreds of thousands of editors wanted it'd be a much different website. It would be overrun with way too much information. Wikipedia is a place to, in a sense, aggregate information from reliable sources in a certain format. The information has to be weighted properly or less what do we use to decide how important it is? We can't use our opinions because that's subjective and then every editor could add anything with a few sources and the site would be overrun with too much information. Unless we use a standard approach all roads lead to a messy site. If you feel that strongly about a topic then your campaign should be for more media coverage, not undue coverage on Wikipedia. Also, you could research all of her decisions and start an article just for that, as long as you actually cover a lot of decisions. But, I'm sure you don't want to do that, you just want this case mentioned about her. The reason there is probably little coverage is because judges apply the law. If the law is bad, including the time a lawyer has to appeal, that's not the judges job to fix unless there is a law against bad laws. Regardless of whether you have an important point or not, it's not appropriate for this article. Again, Wikipedia has to be objective and stick to a standard way of working. ─ Matthewi (Talk) • 13:50, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
* Again, you (user <IP_ADDRESS>) are impassionately talking about justice. But the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeal are not courts of justice. I remind you again of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr's quote: "This is a Court of Law, young man, not a Court of Justice." Your complaints are better directed at the legislatures that impose such rigid time limits (part of things like the Anti-terrorism and effective Death Penalty Act), rather than at the judges who apply the law. To give you another quote to ponder, here's Ulysses S. Grant: "I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution." In the long run, strict application of rules such as this is likely to bring forth a better law thanks to miscarriages of justice like this one. Magidin (talk) 17:28, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Turbochargers & Superchargers
Superchargers and turbochargers are air pumps that look and work rather like a hair drier. They force air into an engine, which makes it work more efficiently and therefore go faster.
Superchargers are powered, directly or indirectly, from the engine itself. Usually they are driven by a belt, but a few have electric motors. The advantage of a supercharger is that it gives immediate power when you put your foot down. The disadvantage, at least with traditional systems, is that they also take power away from the engine because of the energy required to drive them. For this reason, turbochargers have often been preferred over superchargers.
Turbochargers are powered by the exhaust gases from your engine, which means that they are simply using a waste product for their power. The problem with turbochargers is that they require a great deal of exhaust gas to get them spinning, so they don’t work well at low revs. This causes a condition known as ‘turbo-lag’ – you put your foot down and wait for the acceleration to start. Modern turbochargers have, to some extent, overcome this problem.
However, turbochargers, because they get their power from the exhaust pipe, get very hot, even though the air is generally run through a special radiator called an intercooler. For this reason turbochargers have a reputation for unreliability, and they’re expensive to fix.
Carmakers are currently claiming that the newer turbochargers are much more reliable. Saab spokesman Kevin Smith, describing his company’s turbochargers as ‘bullet-proof’ claimed they would “last for the engine’s life.” Smith’s claim begs the question of just how long he expects a modern Saab engine to last.
Respected mechanic and widely syndicated radio talk show host Ron Ananian has a different view about the desirability of turbochargers, saying that the problems with turbocharged vehicles aren’t necessarily limited to turbocharger failure: “[Turbocharged engines] won’t go the distance without at least a cylinder-head gasket replacement”. He said this problem may occur in as little as 50–65,000km.
We agree with him. Superchargers and turbochargers are not necessary for the vast majority of drivers of petrol-powered cars, and we recommend you avoid them where possible.
However, it’s not really possible to buy a modern diesel-powered car without a turbocharger. And that’s one more thing to go wrong.
Clear and Present Danger
Symptoms of a dead or dying turbocharger include:
• A whistling noise coming from the turbocharger
• A puff of white smoke when you suddenly accelerate
• Excessive delay before you accelerate | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Preview: Mariners at Astros
The Seattle Mariners will try to ride the momentum of a dramatic series sweep when they visit the American League West-leading Houston Astros for the first of three games Monday night. After winning their final game before the All-Star break, the Mariners took three in a row at the Chicago White Sox to open their road trip, capped by a 7-6 win in 10 innings Sunday. Nelson Cruz’s solo homer was the difference for Seattle (46-47), which has a chance to get back to .500 for the first time since June 25. Houston’s lead over the Mariners in the American League West stands at a very comfortable 16 1/2 games, and it has won seven of 10 meetings between the two. The Astros rode a strong start from Mike Fiers (season-high 11 strikeouts in seven innings) en route to a 5-3 win over Minnesota on Sunday to take two of three. Lance McCullers Jr. will try to duplicate Fiers’ performance when he gets the nod in the opener opposite lefty Ariel Miranda.

South Korea economy falters in fourth quarter as consumption, construction slump amid political crisis
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea’s economic growth retreated further in the last quarter of 2016, the Bank of Korea said on Wednesday, as a sharp slowdown in construction investment and private consumption took hold in the face of a deepening political crisis. The quarter was marked by an influence-peddling corruption scandal involving President Park Geun-hye, who was impeached by South Korea’s parliament, with a final determination by a court to follow. The outgoing chief judge at the Constitutional Court said on Wednesday the court should make its impeachment ruling before March 13 because two of the nine judges, including himself, are retiring soon. A presidential election will be automatically triggered within 60 days of the court’s decision if she is removed. South Korea’s special prosecutors plan to investigate more companies after their probe of Samsung Group [SAGR.UL] named the group’s leader, Lee Jae-young, as a suspect in the corruption scandal that led to Park’s impeachment. The political upheaval has raised fears of policy paralysis and may have weighed on consumer sentiment, which fell for a third month through January. Growth was just 0.4 percent in seasonally adjusted terms on-quarter, slowing from a 0.6 percent in the September quarter and a 0.8 percent gain in the June quarter, the Bank of Korea said on Wednesday. The 0.4 percent growth in seasonally adjusted terms topped the median forecast of 0.3 percent from a Reuters survey of 17 economists. Construction investment fell by a seasonally adjusted 1.7 percent during the October-December period after a 3.5 percent jump three months earlier, while private consumption expanded just 0.2 percent, slumping from a 0.5 percent rise in the September quarter. Facilities investment increased 6.3 percent on-quarter, jumping from a 0.2 percent rise three months earlier. “A decline in private consumption was the biggest factor in lowering the growth rate even as facilities investment improved,” Chung Kyu-il, a director at the BOK, said at a news conference, noting private consumption made up 49.5 percent of GDP. Chung added that exports of semiconductors, displays, and other electronic components will continue to improve and drive facilities investment this year, although the shipping and shipbuilding sectors may drag on growth as they undergo corporate restructuring. In annual terms, GDP rose 2.3 percent in the fourth quarter, down from a 2.6 percent rise in the third quarter. The economy expanded 2.7 percent in 2016 from a year earlier, matching the bank’s growth target and edging up after a 2.6 percent rise in 2015. “While 2.7 percent expansion is a notable pick-up, the construction investment failing to grow shows domestic demand is sluggish,” Kim Doo-un, a Seoul-based economist with Hana Financial Investment said. “An expansion of 0.4 percent (on-quarter) is quite low given that it’s the weakest in a year and a half,” he added. Exports failed to lift growth in the December quarter, slipping by 0.1 percent after rising 0.6 percent in the previous three months. By sector, manufacturing led the overall growth with a 1.8 percent gain on-quarter, while agriculture and fisheries declined 2.8 percent. Services remained unchanged from three months earlier. The central bank said earlier that private spending would be weaker in 2017 as uncertainties arising from the influence-peddling corruption scandal affect consumer sentiment. Credit costs rising in line with U.S. interest rates will increase the burden of household debt repayment, putting private consumption growth at risk. The BOK sees gross domestic product growth at 2.5 percent this year, driven by a recovery in exports and facilities investment, even if global trade growth weakens on the fear or the reality of deepening protectionism.

The cell biology of major histocompatibility complex class I assembly: towards a molecular understanding
Andy van Hateren, Ed James, Alistair Bailey, Andrew Phillips, Neil Dalchau, and Tim Elliott
Abstract
Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) proteins protect the host from intracellular pathogens and cellular abnormalities through the binding of peptide fragments derived primarily from intracellular proteins. These peptide-MHC complexes are displayed at the cell surface for inspection by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Here we reveal how MHC I molecules achieve this feat in the face of numerous levels of quality control. Among these is the chaperone tapasin, which governs peptide selection in the endoplasmic reticulum as part of the peptide-loading complex, and we propose key amino acid interactions central to the peptide selection mechanism. We discuss how the aminopeptidase ERAAP fine-tunes the peptide repertoire available to assembling MHC I molecules, before focusing on the journey of MHC I molecules through the secretory pathway, where calreticulin provides additional regulation of MHC I expression. Lastly we discuss how these processes culminate to influence immune responses.

Bosnian Serb police detain grieving father, activists
SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Police dispersed activists gathered at the central square in the northwestern Serbian city of Banja Luka on Tuesday following the arrest of a man who had been leading protests demanding the truth about the murder of his son. Davor Dragicevic, who accused authorities in Bosnia’s Serb Republic of concealing the murder of his son David for political reasons, was arrested early on Tuesday when police raided his house after he failed to show up for questioning. The police said he had been arrested for security reasons. They also briefly detained his former wife, several other protesters, including opposition politicians, and a journalist taking photographs of Dragicevic travelling to hospital. Hospital authorities said Dragicevic was not suffering from any injuries. One policeman was injured in scuffles with protesters. Dragicevic said his 21-year-old son, who was found dead in March in a creek in Banja Luka, was captured, tortured and brutally murdered. The prosecution completed its case but no one was found guilty of murder. The European Union delegation and the office of Bosnia’s international peace overseer expressed concerns about the arrests and urged all sides to refrain from violence. “We have asked the Republika Srpska Ministry of Interior for an immediate explanation of the ongoing arrests of different persons associated with the ‘Justice for David’ movement,” they said in a joint statement. The association of Bosnia’s journalists and the Transparency International corruption watchdog also condemned the arrests, saying they represented “political persecution” by the regime. Police in combat gear removed an improvised memorial for David Dragicevic from the square and pushed back protesters who moved to a park in Banja Luka. In Sarajevo, where another father is demanding the truth about his son’s murder, a protest in solidarity for Dragicevic was scheduled for the evening. Sources said police were ordered to clear the square of activists and prepare it for public New Year celebrations which Dragicevic had threatened to obstruct.

Shoulder Pain From Rotator Cuff Tears
valley orthopedic associates
The shoulder joint has more flexibility and a wider range of motion than any other joint in the body. This is due in large part to the rotator cuff, a group of four muscles and their tendons.
The muscles making up the rotator cuff wrap around the shoulder joint providing stability and guiding shoulder movement, similar to the motion needed to reach behind you and close a door.
Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain for people over age 40. There are two types of rotator cuff tears: chronic and acute.
Chronic tears are more common and occur gradually over time as a result of repetitive overhead motion like painting, lifting, swimming, pitching or tennis. An acute tear is caused by a direct injury to the shoulder.
Because chronic tears are gradual, the pain associated with the tear is often also progressive. To start, the pain may be mild and only experienced when reaching or lifting. Over time, the pain may become more intense and happen even when the shoulder is at rest. Weakness, stiffness and popping sensations in the shoulder are also common.
Rotator cuff tears caused by injury are associated with an immediate snap or pop followed by pain and the inability to fully move the shoulder.
To determine if you have a torn rotator cuff an orthopedic specialist will perform an examination and use x-rays or other imaging studies, such as MRIs.
Depending on the severity of the tear, non-surgical and surgical treatment options are available. An orthopedic physician will work closely with you to determine the treatment options best suited for your injury and activity needs.
Orthopedics is the area of medicine specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of bone, joint, tissue and nerve disorders, including those in the shoulder. If you are experiencing persistent pain and weakness in your shoulder and feel you may have a torn rotator cuff, call Valley Orthopedic Associates at 425-656-5060.

Hurricane Maria hits Puerto Rico as a Category 4: what we know
It’s been less than two weeks since Hurricane Irma slammed into the Eastern Caribbean as a Category 4 storm, devastating many of the tiny islands in its path before barreling into Florida. Now some of these same islands in the Caribbean — including St. Croix, St. Thomas, and the US territory Puerto Rico — are enduring a new, stomach-churning threat: Hurricane Maria. Maria rammed directly into Puerto Rico early Wednesday morning as a powerful Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds. It’s the strongest storm to hit the island in 80 years. Some areas in Puerto Rico are expected to see 20 inches of rain and 6 to 9 feet of dangerous storm surge (often the most deadly component of a hurricane). “Maria's core is moving over Puerto Rico, with life-threatening wind, storm surge, and rainfall impacts continuing over the island,” the National Hurricane Center stated Wednesday. “Everyone in Puerto Rico should follow advice from local officials to avoid life-threatening flooding from storm surge and rainfall.” Around 8 am Eastern Wednesday, Maria’s eye passed just 15 miles from San Juan, the capital, which has a population of around 400,000. According to the New York Times, Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló expects the island to lose power entirely. Widespread flash floods and mudslides are a threat as well. ‘‘We have not experienced an event of this magnitude in our modern history,” Rosselló told reporters. Maria is expected to maintain Category 4 strength through Friday, the National Hurricane Center reports. Already, the destruction in the Caribbean has been immense. Maria made landfall on the island of Dominica (population 72,000) Monday as a Category 5, killing seven. “The [160 mph] winds have swept away the roofs of almost every person I have spoken to or otherwise made contact with,” Roosevelt Skerrit, Dominica’s prime minister, wrote on Facebook. He called the damage “mind boggling.” #Maria is expected to move off the N coast of PR, pass offshore the NE coast of Hispaniola, and move near the Turks & Caicos and SE Bahamas pic.twitter.com/uNDJMxnelm Maria is a somewhat smaller storm than Irma. Its hurricane-force winds extend 60 miles from its center (Irma’s extended around 80). But it could be a much more devastating storm for the islands it hits because of the direct track it’s following over them. (Irma veered just north of Puerto Rico.) After Puerto Rico, the storm may skirt the north coast of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Then it’s expected to turn north into the Atlantic — away from Florida. Rosselló declared a state of emergency in Puerto Rico and has begun to issue evacuation orders for parts of the island. "We have an extremely weak infrastructure that has already been hit by one storm," he told reporters Monday. "This is going to be a catastrophic event." As with any hurricane, don’t focus solely on wind speed — the storm surge and rain matter too. But Maria is currently sustaining 140 mph winds, which can destroy homes, uproot trees, and knock out power for months. And as we saw with Hurricane Harvey, even a downgraded hurricane or tropical storm can cause massive destruction and chaos. The deadliest aspect of a hurricane tends to be the coastal flooding that comes from storm surge. Maria is the seventh hurricane in the Atlantic this season. And while that seems like a lot, it’s happened before. According to meteorologist Philip Klotzbach, there are eight other years on record that have had seven storms by September 17. We’re at the peak of hurricane season, where the Atlantic waters are the hottest they get for the entire year. And more storms can certainly form. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

iTools® EthernetIP Rockwell
ITools implements the EthernetIP communication protocol to access Rockwell devices tag without adding any software, here are detailed the specifications to configure the ITools driver in order to read and write the Tag.
To configure the ITools EthernetIP Rockwell it is necessary to have the assembly IToolS.IOServers.EthernetIP.Rockwell.exe, this assembly permit the access to the Rockwell devices which have the EthernetIP protocol because this assembly implement itself the protocol.
The launch of the assembly IToolS.IOServers.EthernetIP.Rockwell.exe displays this window:
Now it is possible to insert the address parameters and push the Connect button, after that the device receive the request about the information related to the tags defined:
Now it is possible to select the desired Tags and from the menu, clicking the Export button, it is possible to create automatically the .xml file used from ITools components to obtain the addressing information of the application variables. The xml file created it is not used to declare the tags to use in the application but it contains the information applied to the tags declared in the Rockwell devices, thank to this file, created during first connection or executing the application explained upper, the driver doesn’t ask for this information every time there is a connection with the device.
The export process it can be avoided, when the driver at the first correct connection create the .xml file with the information tag.
In order to use the driver IToolS EthernetIP Rockwell it is necessary to create an application and configure an ITools driver in a classic way setting the IOServer “Name” property to the value “ControlLogix” and including a project reference to the assembly IToolS.IOServers.EthernetIP.Rockwell.exe:
In the sample application shown above are shown also the advanced properties available for the ControlLogix drivers in which are present the additional properties:
Using the “ControlLogix” driver it is possible to read the following tags:
Limitations:
Data Type
Max. Items that fit into a Write Packet
Boolean Arrayed 32
SINT Arrayed 460
INT Arrayed 230
DINT Arrayed 115
REAL Arrayed 115
Additional considerations:
In case you want to run a full array in a single request to optimize the performance of the HMI communication it is possible to declare a Variable with address equal to the array name without the element wanted:
In Rockwell it is defined an array of integers (INT) with size 32 and name my_int_array, a Variable iTools can be declared as follows:
Variable variable = new Variable() { VariableName = “MyArrayVar”, Address = “my_int_array” };
Now, if I want to manage the array element 10:
variable.ArrayIndex = 10;
In this way, the driver reads the entire array in a single request and extracts the desired element. If you need to manage multiple elements of the same array the driver uses a single request to obtain all the necessary elements.
The situation stated above, however, has a drawback in the writing stage because for the arraythere is the limitation reported in the table above.

How to Convert S3-backed (instance store) AMI to EBS-backed AMI
In one of the recent Amazon Deep Dive Workshop, we were handed a cheat sheet to turn a Linux S3 instance to EBS backed instance. This is one of the simplest process I have come across.

Rh there for the purpose of assisting, with other architects, at the mills on the river Arno, which were then in course of construction, at San Gregorio, near the Piazza de’ Mozzi. At length, having received intelligence of his father’s death, he departed for Pisa, where, in consideration of his talents, he was received with great honour by all the city, every one rejoicing that, although Niccola had passed away, yet Giovanni remained to them, the heir to his virtues, as well as to his abilities. Nor were the Pisans disappointed in their expectations when the occasion for putting them to the proof presented itself ; for, resolving to make certain changes in the small, but richly-adorned, the charge of these was entrusted to Giovanni, who, with the aid of his disciples, brought the decorations of that oratory to the perfection which we still see. This work, so far as we can judge of it, must have been considered wonderful in those times, and the rather as, in one of the figures, Giovanni had produced the portrait of his father, in the best manner that he could accomplish.
The people of Pisa, seeing the success of Giovanni in this work, and having long thought — nay, even spoken—of making a general burying-ground for the noble, as well as the plebeian classes of their city, that too many might not be laid in the cathedral, or from some other cause, resolved to confide to Giovanni the construction of the Campo Santo, which is situate on the, towards the walls ; this he completed from good plans and with great judgment, giving it that extent, and enriching it with those ornaments, which we now see ; and as the cost of this work was not restricted, he caused the roof to be covered with lead.

Kuwait's OPEC governor says signs point to output freeze
All signs suggest that a meeting of OPEC and non-OPEC oil producing countries in Doha on April 17 will produce an initial agreement to freeze output, Kuwait's OPEC governor Nawal Al-Fuzaia said on Tuesday. Fuzaia, giving a speech at the oil ministry, also said she expected the oil market to achieve a balance between supply and demand in the second half of this year. The Brent crude oil price, now at $37.42 a barrel, is expected to average between $45 and $60 in the second half of this year and until 2018, she added. Fuzaia did not elaborate on what signs pointed to an agreement in Doha, but said producers might agree to freeze their output at February levels, or at an average of January and February levels. The original proposal by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Russia and Venezuela was for a freeze at January levels. On Iran's plans to raise oil output, which Tehran has said it will not abandon, Fuzaia said rising Iranian production was not in itself a problem, but there was a problem with Iran's ability to sell this additional quantity into a saturated market amid weak demand. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Evaluation of Recent Surgical Updates Regarding Diagnosis and Management of Intestinal Obstruction

Abstract
Background: Intestinal obstruction is a painful abdominal condition that is ultimately managed by surgical meth-ods.Proximal intestinal obstructions usually present clinically with pain, while distal obstructions have pronounced vomiting and absolute constipation. The junior surgeon should take careful note of anamnesis, as the obstruction is mainly a clinical diagnosis. Objectives: We focus in this paper on intestinal obstruction, diagnostic approach, and surgical interventions, and only relevant studies are discussed. Methodology: PubMed database was used for articles selection, and papers on intestinal obstruction and pseudo-obstruction were obtained and reviewed. Conclusion: In summary, certain factors increase the vulnerability of patients and developing intestinal obstruc-tion, most notably including adhesions, neoplasms, and abdominal herniation. Exploratory laparot-omy is indicated when patients do not improve within 48 hours of conservative therapy, or perforat-ed bowels are seen on radiography (as air-under-the-diaphragm). Colonoscopy is valuable in ruling out mechanical obstruction and decompressing a distended bowel. Team effort is needed to avoid non-urgent operation, and to identify and treat current dehydration and correct depleted electro-lytes, while also preventing systemic inflammation, ischemia, and sepsis. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and 9-11 - Mental Health Center: Medical Information on Mental Illness
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and 9-11 (cont.)
During World War I, PTSD was called shell shock, and during WW II, it was referred to as combat fatigue. After the Vietnam War, it was often mistakenly called the Post Vietnam Syndrome. Indeed, the understanding and effective treatment of PTSD were actually described in the psychiatric literature well before the Vietnam War. A psychiatrist from Harvard Medical School, Dr. Eric Lindemann at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, was the first to report on the systematic management of PTSD. He did this work after the Coconut Grove fire and tragedy in the 1940's.
Posttraumatic stress disorder is defined in terms of the trauma itself and the person's response to the trauma. Trauma occurs when a person has experienced, witnessed, or been confronted with a terrible event that is an actual occurrence. Alternatively, the person may have been threatened with a terrible event, perhaps injury (physical or psychological) or death to themselves or others. Then, the person's response to the event or to the threat involves intense fear, helplessness, and/or horror.
It is important to note, however, that having strong reactions to trauma is normal. What's more, there is a range (spectrum) of expected reactions depending on a person's prior exposure to trauma and even on hereditary (genetic) factors. Most importantly, you should understand that there are efficient and effective treatments for PTSD.
The scope of posttraumatic stress disorder
Sadly, the September 11th tragedy is only the most recent causative (precipitating) event for posttraumatic stress disorder. The scope of the PTSD problem in our society is actually substantial. For example, a current diagnosis of PTSD has been found in 15% of 500,000 men who were Vietnam veterans. Likewise, almost 18% of 10 million women who were victims of physical assault have PTSD. As a matter of fact, eight to 10% of the population will suffer from PTSD at sometime in their lives.
The consequences of PTSD for both the afflicted individual and society are significant. For example, studies have shown that patients with PTSD will have an increased number of suicides and hospitalizations. Also, patients with PTSD will have an increased frequency of alcohol abuse and drug dependency problems. In addition, we know that patients who have been victims of criminal acts subsequently have a much higher utilization of medical services in general. Most significantly, one third of PTSD patients will have related symptoms 10 years after the trauma. The majority of these people will also suffer from other psychiatric, marital, occupational, financial, and health problems.
The symptoms of PTSD
In general, posttraumatic stress disorder can be seen as an overwhelming of the body's normal psychological defenses against stress. Thus, after the trauma, there is abnormal function (dysfunction) of the normal defense systems, which results in certain symptoms. The symptoms are produced in three different ways:
1. Re-experiencing the trauma
2. Persistent avoidance
3. Increased arousal | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

IRAS 05280–6910
IRAS 05280–6910 is a red supergiant star or OH/IR supergiant star located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. IRAS 05280−6910 was found towards the cluster NGC 1984. Its radius is calculated to be more than a thousand times that of the Sun, making it one of the largest stars discovered so far. If placed at the center of the Solar System, its photosphere would engulf the orbit of Jupiter. It has an estimated mass loss rate of $5.4$ per year, one of the highest known for any red supergiant star.
Characteristics
IRAS 05280–6910 is likely an OH supergiant star. It is the most reddened object in the LMC, far exceeding the redness of the famous dust enshrouded red supergiant WOH G64. It also shows the distinct type of maser signal similar to that of VY Canis Majoris. Its exact radius is uncertain. According to one paper, it is 1,367 times the size of the Sun, while another says that it is 1,736 times the size of the Sun. In either case, it is among the largest stars known.
IRAS 05280–6910 likely had a mass of 20 to 25 solar masses when it formed. | WIKI |

Flavonoid compounds, particularly proanthocyanidin are mainly responsible for antioxidant potential in grape seed oil. In addition, recently the interest in using natural remedies to treat diseases increases the use of herbal drugs.The protective effect of grape seed and Jaft extract (a part of oak fruit) was studied on liver toxicity which induced by carbon tetra chloride (CCl4) in rats. Methods: This study carried out on 28 male wistar rats. Mixture of hydroalchoholic grape seed and Jaft extracts was gavaged (200mg/kg) in two groups of extract control and experiment groups, daily for 7 days. At the same time, in two groups of CCl4(toxic ) and treatment, CCl4 in olive oil solution was injected (1ml/kg i.p) since third day, daily, for 5 days. In control groups, olive oil injected (0.5ml/kg i.p) daily, for 5 days. Results: There was significant (P≤0.05) increase in the hepatic enzyme levels such as Aspartate Transaaminase (AST), Alanine Transaminase (ALT), Alkaline Phosphates (ALP) and Bilirubin in toxic group compare to control group. Treat with extract can reduce elevation of liver enzymes AST, ALT, ALP and bilirubin, that caused by CCl4 toxin. The administered of extract only, did not meaningfully alter the enzyme levels when compared to the control groups.

Graphical development
Graphics were introduced in 1980 by a new company called On-Line Systems, which later changed its name to Sierra On-Line. Early graphic adventures, such as Sierra's Mystery House (1980), employed basic vector graphics, but these soon gave way to bitmap graphics drawn by professional artists. Examples include Return of Heracles by Stuart Smith (1982) (which faithfully portrayed Greek mythology), Sherwood Forest (1982), Dale Johnson's Masquerade (1983), Antonio Antiochia's Transylvania (1982, re-released in 1984), Sierra's King's Quest (1984), and Adventure Construction Set (1985), one of the early hits of Electronic Arts.
A number of games were released on 8-bit home computer formats in the 1980s that advanced on the text adventure style originated with games like Colossal Cave Adventure and, in a similar manner to Sierra, added moveable (often directly-controllable) characters to a parser or input-system similar to traditional adventures. Examples of this are Gargoyle Games's Heavy on the Magick (1986) which has a text-input system with an animated display screen, and the later Magic Knight games such as Spellbound (1985) which uses a window-menu system to allow for text-adventure style input.
In 1984 a new kind of adventure games emerged following the launch of the Apple Macintosh with its point-and-click interface. First out was the innovative but relatively unknown Enchanted Scepters the same year, then in 1985 ICOM Simulations released Deja Vu that completely banished the text parser for a point-and-click interface. In 1987 the well-known second follow-up Shadowgate was released, and LucasArts also entered the field with Maniac Mansion - a point-and-click adventure that gained a strong following. A prime example of LucasArts' work is the Monkey Island series.
The introduction of such high-quality bitmap graphics required more substantial storage capacity with many adventure games requiring several diskettes for installation, which would be the case until the CD-ROM made its appearance.
Sierra (1979-1999)
In 1979, after playing through Adventure on a Teletype terminal, and unable to find many other examples of the fledgling genre, Roberta Williams conceived her own, a detective story inspired by Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None and the non-linear gameplay of the board game Clue. After working on the design for a month, she was able to convince her husband, Ken Williams, to stop work on the FORTRAN compiler he had been working on in order to develop the game.
Mystery House, also known as Hi-Res Adventure #1, was released for the Apple II in 1980, and became the first graphic adventure game. The game used vector graphics above a standard text interface to convey its environments, and featured a simple two-word parser. Mystery House sold well and although Ken believed that the gaming market would be less of a growth market than the professional software market, he and Roberta persevered with games, founding On-Line Systems in 1980.
In 1984 Sierra released King's Quest, which used techniques pioneered in action games to animate a character that could be directly controlled by the player. This departure from the first-person perspective, the standard in graphical text adventures, was made possible by the Adventure Game Interpreter, Sierra's new game engine. This interface, with both animated characters and a traditional text interface, was used in Sierra's subsequent 3D Animated Adventures, and was adopted as a standard by much of the industry.
The transition from first-person to third person had the side-effect of allowing for richer narratives, where the character's personality and motivation was distinct from those of the player.
Soon after, Sierra had multiple successful series of adventure games running, including King's Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, and Hero's Quest (Quest for Glory), with each containing numerous games. A few years after these series had started, the classic graphics above the command cursor was fully replaced with "point and click" game-play and VGA graphics. Other notable series include Phantasmagoria and Shivers; Sierra's last and most critically acclaimed series was the Gabriel Knight series, which began in 1993 and ended with Sierra's last adventure game in 1999.
Sierra would develop new games and push the boundaries of adventure gaming until its purchase by Cendant in 1998. Then in 1998, Cendant sold off their entire interactive software branch for $1 billion to Havas Interactive, a subsidiary of Vivendi Universal.
Sierra pursued technologies for their games (such as hand-drawn backgrounds, rotoscoped animation, and in-game video) that were more advanced than most other genres at the time. However, the release of the Sony PlayStation marked the end of the adventure game era; as 3D became the dominant graphics format, the mostly 2D adventure market began to shrink.
Through its almost 20 year involvement with the adventure game business, Sierra employed several notable game designers, including Roberta Williams, Jane Jensen, Al Lowe, Scott Murphy, Jeff Tunnell, and Lori Ann and Corey Cole. | WIKI |
Richard Branson says everyone should watch this kid's TED Talk
Self-made billionaire Richard Branson measures success by his level of happiness and not by the amount in his bank account. "Too many people measure how successful they are by how much money they make or the people that they associate with," he writes on LinkedIn. "In my opinion, true success should be measured by how happy you are." Teenager Logan LaPlante agrees. When he grows up, he wants to be happy and healthy, he says in a 2013 TED Talk that he presented at age 13. "It's great to see Logan realize the importance of seeking health and happiness early in life — something too many people discover too late," writes Branson, who says everyone could benefit from watching LaPlante's talk. "Kids are told: Go to school, go to college, get a job, get married, and then you'll be happy — but Logan asks an important question: 'What if we based education on the study and practice of being happy and healthy?' What if we reversed the formula … or better still forgot all the formulas? "What if being came first, and doing came second?" The billionaire entrepreneur believes that health and happiness are just as important to develop as "must-have" skills like math and reading. "By doing this we will not only create a happier and healthier workforce, but also cultivate more inspired leaders and innovators," Branson writes.

358 examine, and which have been formed in his investigations of the perforation of rocks by gaseous explosions. In these experiments, channels were opened through the granite by the gases of nitroglycerin, showing on their vitrified surfaces all the stages, from the drawing out of a thin pellicle of melted glass to the formation of a perfect spherule. Grains of two different categories may be distinguished with the microscope in the dusts produced in the trituration of rocks by the violent passage of gaseous explosions. Some can not be distinguished from those produced by simple mechanical pulverization. But, besides these materials—angular grains of quartz, feldspar, and mica—we find abundance of perfect, or nearly perfect, spheres, opaque and black or slightly translucent and brownish, with shining surface and often the characteristic little neck. Identical elements are found in the dust derived from different rocks that have been submitted to experiment, but with features that vary in each of them.
Dust obtained from the lava of Vesuvius exhibits the globuli-form character in the highest degree. Nearly all the matter is in the condition of black globules of various dimensions, but always very light, and sometimes having a tubulure. The abundance of these globules is manifestly associated with the relatively easy fusibility of the rock, which is also represented in the constitution of the general glaze with which all the parts that have been in contact with the incandescent gases are covered. The identity of these globules with those that exist so abundantly in the atmospheric dusts and marine sediments can not be contested. Till now, says M. Daubrée, the general opinion, and the only one possible, has been to connect the origin of these globules with the arrival of cosmic masses in the atmosphere; and we may add now to the arguments already presented in support of this thesis, the results afforded by the gaseous trituration of meteoric rocks. The dust furnished by a stone cylinder that fell from the sky in 1888, at Pultusk, was marked by innumerable globules, associated with fragments of peridote and entastite, and with metallic granules which had preserved their ramified form and their adherence to lithoid minerals. What we have said shows also that terrestrial rocks, as well as meteorites, may engender these globules. Hence the arrival of meteorites into the atmosphere incontestably contributes greatly to the production of the brilliant globules so abundant in aërian and aqueous sediments.

Geophysical Instruments Information
Show all Geophysical Instruments Manufacturers
Geophysical instruments are used for geological study, including rock and soil mechanics, and surveying the earth. Geological study can be subdivided into categories such as geophysics, geochemistry, mineralogy, hydrology, geomorphology. One area of geological study is seismology, the study of earthquakes (a sudden, sometimes violent movement of the earth’s surface from released energy in the earth’s crust) and related phenomena. Geophysical instruments for seismology are helping scientists learn more about the structure and properties of the earth’s crust and the causes and predictors of earthquakes. The use of geophysical instruments for earth quake detection is especially important.
Seismographs and magnetometers are the two main types of geophysical instruments used for surveying the earth’s crust and detecting earthquakes. A seismograph is a geophysical instrument that detects and records the intensity, direction, and duration of earth movements. A seismograph combines a seismometer (to detect movement and earthquakes) with a recording device to permanently record the occurrence and intensity of the earthquake. This allows seismologists to calculate how much energy was released during the earthquake, and to identify the source of the earthquake. A magnetometer is a type of geophysical instrument used to measure the strength and direction of magnetic fields. There are two basic types of magnetometers: scalar magnetometers (which measure the total strength of the magnetic field) and vector magnetometers (which measure the components of the magnetic field in a particular direction). Because magnetometers can measure the magnetic pull of iron, these geophysical instruments can also be used in a geophysical survey to locate iron deposits, ship wrecks, archeological sites, or buried objects.
Geophysical instruments must be properly calibrated in order to provide accurate readings. For example, the Richter scale is used in seismology. The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale that shows the total amount of energy released by an earthquake. The Richter scale is the most well known scale to describe the intensity of an earthquake, but it is not the most accurate scale available to scientists.

The fruit of P. longum has more than 600 identified lively compounds amongst them is piperlongumine pyridinone. PL, related compounds, and chemically synthesized analogs are described to have anti-most cancers, gastric protecting, anti-microbial, adipogeneic, and anti-atherosclerotic pursuits. PL executes these varied pursuits, in element, by focusing on protein synthesis at the transcriptional and submit-transcriptional levels. Raj L, et al noted that PL selectively induces the loss of life of most cancers or reworked cells, even though preserving the viability of typical cells in vitro and in vivo. This targeted action relies on PLs potential to boost intracellular reactive oxygen species , specifically hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide. PL does so by binding and down-regulating activities of the enzymes glutathione S-transferase pi one and carbonyl reductase one, ensuing in a redox potential that is substantially tilted toward oxidation.Paradoxically, PL was also documented to inhibit platelet activation, secretion, and aggregation induced by collagen, arachidonic acid, thromboxane, and platelet activating aspect. Even so, the recognized mechanisms involved in the inhibition of most cancers cells do not assistance PLs steps in platelets. Initial, blocking gene transcription is not likely to play a considerable position in the anti-platelet action of PL because platelets are anucleated cells with a minimal capability for protein synthesis. Additionally, the inhibitory impact was detected within minutes after PL therapy, inadequate for important transcription and/or translation actions to occur. Second, ROS is identified to activate platelets and advertise thrombosis. Cross-linking GP VI by collagen stimulates platelets to produce ROS. These conflicting data guide to a critical query of whether or not PL induces these various phenotypic alterations in platelets and cancer cells by targeting different molecules or by acting on a solitary molecule that is lively equally transcriptionally and non-transcriptionally. A goal of PL especially for collagen-induced platelet activation and aggregation that emerged from our latest review is the transcription factor STAT3.OxaliplatinSTAT3 is a member of a family of 7 carefully connected proteins and serves as a crucial signaling protein in the IL-6-induced acute section response pathway. In nucleated cells, IL-6 binds to the IL-6Rα-gp130 receptor intricate, oligomerizing receptors to activate receptor-associated tyrosine kinases. These activated kinases phosphorylate tyrosine residues to produce a docking site for STAT3 by means of its Src-homology 2 area, major to the phosphorylation of STAT3 at residue Y705 and the formation of a tail-to-tail homo-dimer that accumulates in the nucleus to regulate the transcription of specific genes.

* Reason:About a year ago, I nominated a very similar picture that was also inferior to this one in many ways. Now, the previous picture wasn't bad I would say but this one improves on it dramatically. This image is bigger, has more real resolution, has much less image noise, is technically sharper, has a better crop, was taken at a better time of day, has fewer ghosts and is free of stitching errors (not the case with the previous picture). I think the subject matter is good and the composition is the best that is available.

* Weak Support This is a huge improvement over the last version. The EV is there and it's very very sharp. I definitely enjoy the lighting and the blue cloudy skies. I have a problem with a 21mp picture being 13mb though I've made 40mp shots smaller sizes and the same detail. IMO at least it's a bit too big for the common user. Victorrocha (talk) 02:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
* Comment - I'd prefer a closer crop, removing the buildings on the left side and the cars at the bottom. Excellent picture otherwise. I don't really agree with Victorrocha's comment that the picture's file size is too big. FCs are not for the "common user" to see on a web page as such, so in 99% of the cases the user won't have to download the whole thing, but there will still be an option of making a very high-resolution print.

Neil Cochrane
Neil Cochrane (born 4 January 1984 in Edinburgh) is a retired Scottish rugby union player. Cochrane played for Edinburgh Rugby from 2014 until his retirement at the end of the 2018 season having spent the early parts of his career in England. A former captain of the Scotland under 21s, he was known as a hard-hitting forward with plenty of pace and power.
Background
When he was fifteen he took up rugby at Boroughmuir High School after his friends convinced him to play in their team. Cochrane initially played rugby union at centre before moving to flanker. Whilst playing for Boroughmuir he was spotted by the Under 16s State School Scotland Rugby Union Team, which led to an academy place with Edinburgh Rugby. In 2003 Cochrane was called up to the Scotland Under-21s, captaining the team between 2004 and 2005.
Rotherham Titans
In 2005 he was offered his first professional contract by RFU Championship side the Rotherham Titans. During his three years at Rotherham, Cochrane made 83 appearances at flanker scoring 70 points and was voted player of the year in his final season for them.
Doncaster Knights
In 2008 Cochrane signed a full-time contract with the Doncaster Knights where once again supporters voted him Player of the Year in 2010. During his three years at the Knights, Cochrane made 75 appearances scoring 60 points.
Bedford Blues
Bedford Blues moved in to sign Cochrane from Doncaster Knights at the beginning of the 2011–12 RFU Championship where he changed from the position of flanker to hooker. Bedford Director of Rugby Mike Rayer said "We are delighted that he has agreed to join us next season, you only need to have seen Doncaster in action this season to realise how important a player Neil has been to the Knights."
Cochrane quickly established himself as the starting hooker for the Blues, who secured second position in the 2011–12 RFU Championship table with a win over Nottingham in the last game of the season. Whilst in preparations for the semifinals of the Championship playoffs against London Welsh Bedford agreed a new 12-month deal with Cochrane to continue playing in his new position for the 2012–13 Championship season.
London Wasps
On 3 May 2013, Cochrane leaves Bedford Blues for London Wasps, who compete in the Aviva Premiership for the 2013–14 season.
Edinburgh Rugby
On 27 January 2014, Cochrane returns to Scotland to rejoin with his hometown club Edinburgh Rugby for the 2014–15 season.
International career
He was called up to the senior Scotland squad for the 2018 Six Nations Championship. | WIKI |

Abstract
Neutrinos are massless charge neutral leptons in the Standard Model. The discovery and the solid confirmation of their flavor oscillation, however, necessarily require them to be massive since this is caused by the fact that the neutrino mass eigenstates differ from that of the flavor. This necessitates the Standard Model to be significantly modified or a new paradigm to describe the fundamental constituents of matter. To accomplish this goal, it is essential for experiments to measure precisely various oscillation parameters, including the mixing angles, to determine the mass hierarchy between the three mass eigenstates and to determine the CP phase. This presentation covers two large scale future neutrino experiments, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and the Tokai-to-Hyper Kamiokande (T2HK) experiments which along with the high intensity neutrino beam line will help accomplish these goals. The design and technologies of these two experiments, their physics capabilities as well as their schedule are presented.

Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation focuses on muscle strengthening, gait training, and pain control to restore knee function. Nonsurgical treatments for less severe symptoms include exercises for strength, stretches to increase range of motion, ice packs, knee tape), knee braces, anti-inflammatory agents, and electrical stimulation to control inflammation and pain. Quadriceps and hamstring exercises prescribed by rehabilitation experts restore flexibility and muscle strength.
Client education and knowledge on stretches and exercises is important. Exercises should lack pain and increase gradually with intensity. The patient is given strict guidelines on how to perform exercises at home to avoid more injury. Exercises can include leg raises squats, and wall stretches to increase quadriceps and hamstring strength. This helps to avoid pain, stress, and tight muscles that lead to further injury that oppose healing. Knee orthotics such as patella straps and knee sleeves help decrease force traction and prevent painful tibia contact by restricting unnecessary movement, providing support, and also adding compression to the area of pain. Medical injections to the patellar area such as Hyperosmolar Dextrose injections are effective and safe for treating tendon and cartilage degeneration. | WIKI |

Did You Know That Tattoos Effect On Your Immune System Can Be Positive?
Published January 21, 2021
By Celebrity Ink
Could a tattoo have a positive effect on your immune system? Christopher Lynn, an anthropologist at the University of Alabama, published a research article in 2016 with fellow researcher Michaella Howells. Theorising that getting multiple tattoos may boost your body’s immune response. By making you less susceptible to infections.
So how can a tattoo which pierces the body creating a small wound actually help fight off infection?
Tattoos
The healing qualities of a tattoo
The process of receiving a tattoo is injecting ink via small punctures into the top layer of the skin (the dermis). As the needles pierce the skin with ink, your body’s immune system races in to fight off that foreign matter. This results in an immediate boost in your white blood cells to protect you from infection, creating antibodies to fight off any potential threat. The more your body receives tattoos, the more it can build up an accumulative protection effect, enabling resistance.
Immune System
Immunoglobulin molecule
Samoan culture a key to research
Samoans have a long history of tattooing, so in 2018, Howells and Lynn travelled to Samoa to study Samoan tattooing culture. Whilst Lynn’s previous research focussed on a small study of women in Alabama in 2016. They wanted to extend their research to see if they were able to find the same link to an enhanced immune response. With a wider sample of people who have a culture rich in tattooing.
For example, by collecting saliva at the start and end of each session and researching a number of factors for each patient. They determined the biological markers of Immunoglobulin A remains higher in the bloodstream. Even after tattoos heal. Those with more tattoos, produced more salivary Immunoglobulin A, indicating an enhanced immune response to receiving a new tattoo compared to those with less or no tattoos at all.
What’s the catch?
So science shows us that getting a tattoo could boost your immune system, not to mention the impact it has on your mental health. With the release of endorphins resulting in a momentary state of high. What’s the catch you say? Well, getting just one certainly won’t cut it. You need to get multiple tattoos to see the enhanced immune system results.

Dano-Swedish War (1501–1512)
The Dano-Swedish War from 1501 to 1512 was a military conflict between Denmark and Sweden within the Kalmar Union.
The war began with a Swedish and a Norwegian revolt against King Hans and the siege of Queen Christina in her castle in Danish-held Stockholm.
1501 to 1504
On 1 January 1501, Swedish Regent Sten Sture the Elder and the Swedish National Council met in Vadstena Castle, at which the council approved the revolt against King Hans, and declared the deposition of the king. Norwegian nobel Knut Alvsson was also there and directed harsh accusations against King Hans' control in Norway and was provided Swedish support for his return to Norway. Sten Sture besieged Tre Kronor Castle in Stockholm from September 1501 until 6 May 1502. The kings wife, Queen Christina was the commander of the castle. This was one of the hardest sieges known during the Kalmar Union, during which a garrison of 1000 men was reduced to 70 out of plague and starvation. In August 1501 a Swedish army took Örebro.
Knut Alvsson led at the same time Swedish forces in an attack on Båhus Fortress on the Swedish-Norwegian border. The fort was commanded by Henrich Krummedige. Krummedige was able to hold Båhus, but Alvsson captured Akershus Fortress and Tønsberg Fortress in March 1502.
King Hans dispatched his son Christian (later crowned King Christian II of Denmark and Norway) at the head of Danish forces; they relieved the siege of Båhus Fortress, and also captured Älvsborg Fortress across the river from Båhus Fortress. Krummedige then led forces north to finish off the rebellion by recapturing Tønsberg Fortress and investing Akershus Fortress, which Alvsson was defending.
When it became clear that the rebellion was stalemated, Alvsson came on board one of Krummedige's ships under a safe conduct. Krummedige's men killed Alvsson on 18 August 1502, either by treachery or, as alleged by Krummedige's men, in response to Alvsson's own violence. Breaking the rules of safe conduct was considered a grave treachery after the old Norse laws, which were still used in Norway at the time. However, the court in Oslo deemed Krummedige to have acted justly. The conditions for this judgement have been discussed by historians for years. Sten Sture invaded Norway in 1503, but failed to accomplish anything of importance. Nils Ravaldsson became the new leader of the rebellion, but it was crushed in December 1504, at Olsborg Castle.
1504 to 1509
14 December 1503, Sten Sture died, and in 1504, Svante Nilsson became the new Regent of Sweden. The war continued, and the Danes and Swedes fought over the Danish-held city of Kalmar. It was also fighting in the border areas of Skåne, Halland and Blekinge. In July 1507, the Danish-Norwegian navy under the command of Søren Norby attacked Kastelholm Castle at Åland and burned it down. Later the same year, Dano-Norwegian military forces under the command of Henrich Krummedige attacked Nya Lödöse and burned the city down. In February 1508, Swedish military forces attacked the Danish town Væ and burned it down. In 1509, Sweden agreed to a declaration which recognised Hans as king of Sweden in principle, but he was never allowed into Stockholm as long as he lived, nor crowned king of Sweden anew, and the war renewed shortly after.
1509 to 1512
Fighting intensified in 1509 and 1510 when the German city of Lübeck and the Hanseatic League helped Sweden to conquer Danish-held Kalmar and Borgholm. The recently established Danish-Norwegian Navy fought joint Hanseatic-Swedish naval forces at Nakskov and Bornholm in 1510 and 1511. In April 1512, a peace agreement was signed in Malmö.
Aftermath
The war did not end the fighting between the kingdoms of the Kalmar Union, the result concerning Sweden was status quo, and a new war between the Kalmar Union and Sweden erupted in 1517, but Lübeck suffered a real political and economic setback by the peace. Norwegian attempts at opposition against Denmark were strangled by King Hans's son Prince Christian (afterward King Christian II), who was the viceroy of Norway from 1506 until he became king of Denmark and Norway in 1513.

Best practices in head CT imaging: How are we doing?
Computed tomography, or CT scanning, is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools to emerge during my medical career. Just look at the detail in the brain images above, taken at 90-degree angles through the brain. And I was there at the beginning. I remember well when I was a medical student taking neurology, and the first CT scanner arrived at the Mayo Clinic. By today’s standards, it was incredibly crude. It displayed a tiny image on a cathode ray tube that was then photographed with a Polaroid camera. Preservative lacquer was then smeared on the photograph and it was pasted into the patient’s chart with glue. But the crude photographs were amazingly superior to what physicians had previously, which was nothing. They had skull x-rays to look at the bone and the very painful and very indirect imaging technique called pneumoencephalography. So neurologists and neurosurgeons were ecstatic at the new technology because it allowed them to see the brain directly.
Over the years head CT emerging as pretty much a standard test for evaluating any bonk on the head, particularly if the person clinically had a concussion or especially if they lost consciousness. This is because one of the things a head CT does particularly well is identify brain swelling or bleeding inside the skull. But then some concerns began to arise about the radiation that comes with CT scanning. And CT scans do deliver an order of magnitude at least more radiation than do ordinary x-rays like chest, arm, or leg x-rays. So this raised the concern of all these head CT scans contributing to increased cancer risk, a particular concern in children who have developing brains and their life ahead of them. It turns out there is a measurable increase in lifetime cancer risk from CT scans. It’s tiny, but it’s measurable. How tiny? About 2 in 10,000 head CT scans. The risk is higher for abdominal CT scans, but these deliver much higher radiation doses. Radiologists recognized this issue and a decade or more ago instituted protocols for children that reduced radiation significantly (the Image Gently program). But the risk is still there. For small children, there is often the additional risk of the need for sedation to do the scan because the child cannot hold still enough to get a sharp image. The point is that we should use the same risk/benefit calculation when ordering a head CT that we use when ordering any other test. If the risk, however tiny, exceeds the expected benefit we shouldn’t do the test. So if the benefit of a head CT in minor head trauma in children is essentially zero we shouldn’t get the scan. But how do we determine that? To help us with that question various professional organizations have issued guidelines regarding when a head CT is needed to evaluate pediatric head trauma and when it’s not. An interesting recent study investigated how we are doing in adhering to those guidelines. You can read one commonly used set of guidelines.
The authors studied the years 2007-13. The guidelines had been recently put in place at the beginning of that period. Their goal was to see any effect of this; they hypothesized that, over a decade, implementation of the guidelines should result in a reduction in pediatric head CT scans. They used the enormous National Hospital Ambulatory Care Medical Survey database, a resource that includes information on over 14 million children who visited an emergency department during the nine year study period with a diagnosis of head trauma. Their question was crude but simple: Did rates of CT scan use for pediatric head trauma change over the study period? The simple answer they found was: no change. The below graph shows the proportion of children who got head CTs over the study period. The points of implementation of various guideline initiatives are noted: Image Gently, PECARN Rules (described in the above reference), and Choosing Wisely. But the line is unchanging within the confidence intervals. I suppose we should not be surprised most of this excess CT use occurred at community hospitals rather than academic facilities; up-to-date practice would be more expected to take place at the latter.
So what does this mean? An accompanying editorial to the above study considers the implications.
It is disappointing that U.S. children have generally not benefited from current best practice research and continue to experience unnecessary radiation exposure. This is a reminder that pediatric research and education efforts are frequently not focused where most U.S. children receive their medical care. . . . A recent study of a community ED revealed that a maintenance of certification program sponsored by a children’s hospital was associated with lowered CT scan use from 29% to 17%.
Most discussions of this sort bring up defensive medicine, that is, doing things out of a fear of lawsuits. However, adherence to nationally recognized best practice guidelines is a pretty solid defense against later claims of negligence. In this case, it’s not at all inconceivable that not following best practice guidelines actually puts a physician at risk from being sued.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez campaign aides fighting Joe Biden's 2020 bid
Justice Democrats, the grassroots group that powered Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's insurgent congressional bid, came out swinging against former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday morning. "While we're going to support the Democratic nominee, we can't let a so-called 'centrist' like Joe Biden divide the Democratic Party and turn it into the party of 'No, we can't,'" the group's president wrote in a statement shortly after Biden announced his 2020 bid. Justice Democrats and other progressive activists argued that Biden's decades-long record makes him out of step with the party's base. Visit BusinessInsider.com for more stories. Justice Democrats, the grassroots group that powered Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's insurgent congressional bid, came out swinging against former Vice President Joe Biden shortly after Biden announced his 2020 presidential bid on Thursday morning. The group's president, Alexandra Rojas, argued that the 76-year-old Delaware Democrat "stands in near complete opposition to where the center of energy" lies in the Democratic party. "The party needs new leadership with a bold vision capable of energizing voters in the Democratic base who stayed home in 2016," the group wrote in a Thursday morning statement. "While we're going to support the Democratic nominee, we can't let a so-called 'centrist' like Joe Biden divide the Democratic Party and turn it into the party of 'No, we can't.'" Read more: The Democratic Party is cracking down on candidates who hope to be the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and progressives are fighting back Rojas argued that Biden's decades-long record on issues including criminal justice reform, gay marriage, and the Iraq War is out of step with the future of the party. "We don't need someone who voted for the Iraq War, for mass incarceration, and for the Bankruptcy Reform Act while voting against gay marriage, reproductive rights, and school desegregation," she wrote. Rojas tweeted Thursday morning, "The reality is that @JoeBiden has failed to lead when it mattered." In a video announcing his candidacy, Biden framed himself as someone who'll stand up against the rise in racism and division during Trump's presidency. And Biden has long posited that he can appeal to blue-collar and red state Democrats who might have voted for Trump or not voted at all in 2016. The Biden campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Biden's announcement comes after months of anticipation, during which time progressive activists have made it clear they don't want him to be the Democratic nominee. Justice Democrats linked to an opinion column written by Vox editor Matthew Yglesias, who made the case that Biden's "tarnished legacy" will doom him to become "the Hillary Clinton of 2020" — incapable of galvanizing progressives and beating Trump. "As Democrats gear up to take on Trump, the party's best shot is to do anything possible to avoid repeating the 2016 experience of defending decades' worth of twists and turns on various issues from the Iraq War to LGBTQ rights to banking deregulation," Yglesias wrote. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Other Aspects
Other Aspects is a collection of previously unreleased jazz recordings by Eric Dolphy made in 1960 and 1964, and released first in 1987 by Blue Note Records. The recordings originated with tapes that Dolphy left with composer Hale Smith and his wife Juanita before leaving for Europe in 1964 to tour with Charles Mingus. Years after Dolphy's death, Smith contacted James Newton, who, after reviewing the material, suggested that Smith get in touch with Blue Note. Newton ended up producing the album.
In terms of its instrumentation and style, Other Aspects is unique in Dolphy's recorded catalogue. The two "Inner Flight" tracks are solo flute pieces (David Toop called them "experiments in amalgamating jazz phrasing, expressive tone and free-flowing lines with the tightly 'graphic' abstraction of Varèse's Density 21.5" ), while "Improvisations and Tukras" reflects Dolphy's interest in the music of India, and features tamboura and tabla. "Dolphy'n" is a duet with bassist Ron Carter, with Dolphy playing alto saxophone.
The piece titled "Jim Crow" on the track listing and attributed to Dolphy is actually "A Personal Statement", composed by Bob James, and was recorded while Dolphy was in Ann Arbor, Michigan for the 1964 ONCE Festival. James Newton was unsure as to its title or composer at the time of the album's release, and gave it the provisional title "Jim Crow". It features Dolphy and a countertenor vocalist, David Schwartz, of the Bob James Trio, and is illustrative of Dolphy's ongoing involvement with 20th-century classical music. Another version of the piece, with the correct title and attribution, was released as a bonus track on the 2018 album Musical Prophet: The Expanded 1963 New York Studio Sessions.
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Al Campbell called the album "fascinating, and in its own way essential" and described "Jim Crow" as "startling," noting that it "shows [Dolphy's] embracing of 20th century classical composition."
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "These are snapshots of a master musician at the point of take-off. Though less than wholly satisfying, they add to a disconcertingly small and compressed discography."
Michael J. West, writing for Jazz Times, praised the flute-oriented tracks, stating that, on "Inner Flight," Dolphy "plays in a clear, flowing style, making wide ballet-like leaps but then lilting back to earth like a leaf in the wind," while "Improvisations and Tukras" is portrayed as "an absolutely mesmerizing moment whose beautiful implications deserved further investigating."

62 in the many heavens and paradises, and others in the numerous states of purgation called hells. Generalizing, it may be said that when the Brahmanic and Buddhist teachings concerning cosmography are carefully examined from the standpoint of the initiated Oriental, and not from the too-oft prejudiced standpoint of the Christian philologist, it seems to suggest far-reaching knowledge, handed down from very ancient times, of astronomy, of the shape and motion of planetary bodies, and of the interpenetration of worlds and systems of worlds, some solid and visible (such as are alone known to Western Science) and some ethereal and invisible existing in what we may perhaps call a fourth dimension of space.
Esoterically explained, Mt. Meru (Tib. Ri-rab), the central mountain of Hindu and Buddhist cosmography, round which our cosmos is disposed in seven concentric circles of oceans separated by seven intervening concentric circles of golden mountains, is the universal hub, the support of all the worlds. We may possibly regard it, like the Central Sun of Western astronomy, as the gravitational centre of the known universe. Outside the seven circles of oceans and the intervening seven circles of golden mountains lies the circle of continents.
In illustration, an onion of fifteen layers may be taken to represent roughly the lāmaic conception of our universe. The core, to which the fifteen layers cohere, is Mt. Meru. Below, are the various hells; above, supported by Mt. Meru, are the heavens of the gods, the more sensuous, like the thirty-three heavens ruled by Indra, and those under the sway of Mārā, being ranged in their own regular gradation beneath the less sensuous heavens of Brāhma. As apex over all, is the final heaven, called ‘The Supreme’ (Tib. ‘Og-min). Being the last outpost of our universe, ‘Og-min, as the vestibule to Nirvāṇa, is the transitional state leading from the mundane to the supramundane; and thus there presides over it the divine influence of ‘The Best of All’ (Tib. Kuntu-zang-po: Skt. Samanta-Bhadra), the lāmaic personification of Nirvāṇa.
