"After Kyra\u2019s estranged father, Perry, shows up and wants to bring Kyra home to Houston, Dre and Bow work to show him the amazing life they can provide for her. Meanwhile, the kids go on a mission to get her one last chili dog from Larry\u2019s."
"Dre feels like he has made a difference with the diversity at Stevens & Lido as the head of the Urban Division, but when Junior tells him that Josh is his mentor, Dre flips out. Meanwhile, Jack and Diane show their friends a video of Bow dancing and now she\u2019s become the hot mom."
"As they are planning Devante\u2019s birthday, Bow wants to be more mindful with all the new child-rearing rules these days, but Dre isn\u2019t having it. Junior tells Jack and Diane that they need to be more mindful of the environment and their first order of business is changing Ruby\u2019s bad habits."
"Jack is going through an experimental phase and getting himself into trouble, so Dre chaperones the twins\u2019 school dance to keep an eye on him. Meanwhile, Junior fights with his girlfriend, Niecy, after she thinks he spends too much time taking care of Devante."

"When Rainbow and Dre realize Junior\u2019s been taking them for granted, they decide it\u2019s time to band together and cut him off for good. Meanwhile, Jack discovers he has a very lucrative talent, only Ruby wants to use it for all the wrong reasons."
"When Bow learns that Diane and Ruby don\u2019t believe in feminism, she brings Diane to meet the women in her feminist group. Bow\u2019s friend Abby thinks the group needs to be more inclusive, so Bow invites three of her girlfriends to join. Meanwhile, Junior and Jack help Dre after he realizes he is out of touch with modern-day feminism."
"Jack gets cut from the basketball team and it leads to a family discussion about him being short for his age. Dre is worried for his future, but Bow feels strongly that Jack will overcome his adversity and be stronger for it."
"When Dre is invited to join a private social club for the black upper class, Bow and the family jump at the opportunity to mingle with this new community, but Dre\u2019s not so sure these exclusive clubs are all they\u2019re cracked up to be. Meanwhile, Junior helps Pops pick a wedding date."
"Halloween is around the corner and the Johnsons are definitely not seeing eye to eye on the family costume. The only thing they do agree on is that Jack\u2019s new friend Raymond has got to go. Meanwhile, Junior wants Devante\u2019s first trick-or-treating experience to be perfect."

Dear all,
This is a great Ubuntu 16.04 .img that works like a charm on my RPi 3b+ with one exception. I have a problem with connecting reliably to wifi via the built-in broadcom module. I make 2 hypothesis:
1. whether the driver (which, as I understand by reading this forum is a copy-paste from Raspbian), or
2. faulty hardware
Just to let you know that I've tested 2 more usb wifi dongles and they work out-of-the-box as expected (Odroid module 4 - Ralink RT5572 and the dongle that comes with an old RPi2 kit - Ralink RT5370).
My feeling is that it's a problem about the wifi card's drivers, namely brcmfmac43455-sdio* files from /lib/firmware/brcm/
Please can you guide towards other alternatives to these drivers, that can still work with the current Ubuntu 16.04? I'd like to test them.

|Nov 15, 2010
Holding: A defendant is subject to the highest mandatory minimum specified for his conduct in 18 U.S.C. 924(c) unless another provision of law directed to conduct proscribed by Section 924(c) specifically imposes an even greater mandatory minimum sentence. (Kagan, J., recused).

He's got his mom and his Lois - now Superman has his villainess.
Deadline is reporting that German actress Antje Traue (pronounced: What she said) has landed the role of Faora - a Kryptonian woman who is in league with Michael Shannon's General Zod (not to be confused with Ursa, the super-powered woman who rode shotgun with Zod in "Superman II").
The character of Faora actually has a long history in the Superman comics - and she has been everything from a man-hating, kung-fu fighter (who once beat the snot out of Superman) to an orphaned meta-human who can disrupt molecular bonds. The movie version is believed to be leaning towards the latter version.
U.S. & World
Traue was recently seen alongside Ben Foster in the sci-fi horror flick "Pandorum."

Stephanie Lenz's YouTube video of her tot dancing to an old Prince song was pulled down at the request of Universal last year after the music label said that the clip infringed on its copyright. Not content with simply having Universal retract its claim, Lenz and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are out to put the squeeze on Universal for issuing a bad-faith DMCA takedown. But Universal told a judge this week that, even though the clip may in fact be "fair use," it was still "infringement" and therefore the initial takedown notice was made in good faith.
The two sides faced off in a San Francisco court before Judge Jeremy Fogel, with Universal arguing that it simply couldn't be held liable for wrongly issuing a DMCA takedown notice (if, in fact, it actually issued a DMCA takedown notice... another point at issue in the case). It did correctly identify the Prince song playing in the background, and the company does control the rights to song; therefore the claim of "infringement" was correct. QED.
According to Wired, which had a reporter at the hearing, the judge pushed Universal's lawyer to take this position as far as it could logically go. "Are you saying there cannot be a misuse of a takedown notice if the material is copyrighted?" he asked. "I don't think 'fair use' qualifies," Universal's lawyer responded.
Takedown notices make me cry
This isn't a surprising position for the company to take. In its reply to the charges against it, filed several weeks ago, Universal made clear its belief that the original takedown notice was accurate, since fair use is an "affirmative defense" that can overcome an infringement claim, not an assertion that the use didn't violate copyright.
"Plaintiff's exclusive reliance on the affirmative defense of fair use necessarily establishes that Universal's statement that her use was infringing was true," said Universal. "For there to be a 'fair use,' there first must be an infringing use. Plaintiff's arguments that her use could be a 'fair use' without infringing, or that Universal must be deemed to have impliedly represented that her use was not 'fair,' are contrary to the Copyright Act and controlling case law."
In one obvious sense, Universal has a good point to make on this issue. It simply can't be correct that copyright holders can be found liable for bad faith takedown notices simply because the use in question turns out to be fair in the end; as we have pointed out many times, no one knows if the use is fair until a judge actually rules.
On the other hand, decades of both common practice and case law have established some general parameters for fair use (see the recent American University project on fair use in video work for an example). No one wants rightsholders to sue over uses that are 99.5 percent likely to be found "fair" in a court, as this would clearly favor companies with deep pockets over everyone else (and is the reason behind laws like California's anti-SLAPP statute).For these reasons, the judge's ruling here will be a compelling read.
No doubt the whole case feels particularly satisfying for the EFF, which has a music label playing defense in court. But Universal makes clear just how it feels about the whole ordeal: "Plaintiff's inability to state a claim is not surprising. She has no claim, and never came close to alleging one... It is time for this case to be over."

Once upon a time (by which we mean a few months ago), Tumblr CEO David Karp outright rejected the idea of ads. The scorn has lessened since the advent of sponsorship packages to the Tumblr Radar, but that doesn't mean Mr. Karp has entirely come around to the inherent worthiness of advertising as a discipline.
This morning's Internet Week keynote offered a little more insight into what he likes and what he doesn't. To wit: None of your tacky traditional advertising, thanks. Tumblr wants "creative experiences."
In a conversation with Internet Week founder David-Michel Davies, Mr. Karp elaborated on the kind of promotional content that doesn't turn his stomach. As an ideal, he offered up the example of the Hunger Games promotion Capital Couture. Rather than registering hungergames.tumblr.com and slapping up the trailer, the film's marketing team created a Panem fashion blog and invited fan submissions.
Mr. Karp liked that it wasn't a standard-issue movie site, but rather "one of the juiciest, most interesting ways to further explore the world in a way that it was not explored in the books or not completely explored in the books," adding that it "created a whole community of people who are contributing and creating whole communities on top of the art of that world." So it's part of the "mythos" of the world, rather than just a splashy campaign.
"People who really really wanted to get into the world, the people who'd read the trilogy–now they had a whole new angle to this world to explore," said Mr. Karp. The result was also something that managed to engage further Tumblr communities, like fashion.
Of course, it's worth noting that no matter what you call it, all of this stuff is, at the end of the day, advertising. We just usually call it "viral marketing."

Obama: No special prosecutor to investigate IRS
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama dismissed the idea of a special prosecutor to investigate the Internal Revenue Service Thursday, saying probes by Congress and the Justice Department should be able to figure out who was responsible for improperly targeting tea party groups when they applied for tax-exempt status.
"Between those investigations I think we're going to be able to figure out exactly what happened, who was involved, what went wrong, and we're going to be able to implement steps to fix it," Obama said at a Rose Garden press conference.
Obama promised to work with Congress in its investigations, and he reiterated that he did not know that conservative groups were targeted until it became public last Friday.
"I promise you this, that the minute I found out about it, then my main focus was making sure that we get the thing fixed," Obama said. "I'm outraged by this in part because look, I'm a public figure, if a future administration is starting to use the tax laws to favor one party over another or one political view over another, obviously, we're all vulnerable."
Obama forced out acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller Wednesday. Obama is expected to name a new acting commissioner by the end of this week.
Don't look for the controversy to subside.
Three congressional committees are investigating, and the FBI is looking into potential civil rights violations at the IRS, Attorney General Eric Holder said.
Other potential crimes include making false statements to authorities and violating the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in some partisan political activities, Holder said.
On Friday, Miller is scheduled to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee. Also testifying is J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.
George issued a report this week that blamed ineffective management in Washington for allowing agents in a Cincinnati office to improperly single out conservative political groups for additional, sometimes burdensome scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The practice went on more than 18 months, diminishing the ability of these groups to raise money during election cycles in 2010 and 2012, the report said.
The groups were applying for tax-exempt status as social welfare organizations. Unlike other charitable groups, social welfare organizations can engage on politics, but it is not supposed to be their primary mission.
It is up to the IRS to make the determination.
The inspector general's report said that if agents saw the words "Tea Party" or "Patriots" in an application, they automatically set it aside for additional scrutiny that could hold up approval for an average of nearly two years. The agents did not flag similar progressive or liberal labels, though some liberal groups did receive additional scrutiny because their applications were singled out for other reasons, the report said.
Ways and Means Committee members are expected to grill Miller over why he failed to tell lawmakers that conservative groups were targeted, even after the agency said he was briefed in May 2012.
At least twice after the briefing, Miller wrote letters to members of Congress to explain the process of reviewing applications for tax-exempt status without disclosing that tea party groups had been targeted. On July 25, 2012, Miller testified before the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee but again was not forthcoming on the issue — despite being asked about it.
In all, members of Congress sent at least eight letters to the IRS over the past two years, asking about complaints from conservative groups that they were being harassed by the IRS. None of the IRS responses acknowledged that conservative groups were targeted.
"The IRS has demonstrated a culture of cover up and has failed time and time again to be completely open and honest with the American people," said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. "The committee and the American people deserve honest answers from Mr. Miller at our hearing this Friday."
Miller, a 25-year career civil servant at the IRS, took over the agency in November, when the five-year term of Commissioner Douglas Shulman ended. Shulman was appointed by President George W. Bush.
At the time when tea party groups were targeted, Miller was a deputy commissioner who oversaw the division that dealt with tax-exempt organizations.
In an email to employees, Miller said: "This has been an incredibly difficult time for the IRS given the events of the past few days, and there is a strong and immediate need to restore public trust in the nation's tax agency. I believe the service will benefit from having a new acting commissioner in place during this challenging period."
The House Oversight Committee announced Wednesday that it would hold a hearing May 22, featuring Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt organizations, and Shulman, the former commissioner.
The Senate Finance Committee announced a hearing for next Tuesday.

Maine's supreme court to decide whether prostitution johns have a right to privacy
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) � Maine's highest court is preparing to weigh in on whether prostitution johns who were recorded without their knowledge have a right to privacy.
A trial judge dismissed 46 invasion of privacy counts against Mark Strong Sr., who's accused of viewing sex videos featuring men who were unaware that they were being recorded with a woman who's accused of using her Zumba studio as a front for prostitution.
Prosecutors are seeking to reinstate the charges.
Arguments were scheduled for Wednesday in Portland.
Strong also faces 13 other counts that deal with promotion of prostitution. He and dance instructor Alexis Wright have both pleaded not guilty.

|Sperm Biology
In this group, we focus on different factors affecting sperm biology, such as environmental, nutritional and free radicals, to name a few. In addition, we investigate the correlation of these factors with fertility. Group staff are interested in researching molecular mechanisms involved in sperm maturation and morphogenesis in different cases of infertility. Additionally, sperm and testis cryopreservation have been successfully performed in this laboratory. Effects of cryopreservation techniques and different protocols of sperm processing on DNA fragmentation, membrane integrity and mitochondrial membrane potential were assessed in this group. Our next goal is to plan research regarding germ cell characteristics and its differentiation to spermatozoa.
This subgroup has held four workshops on "Sperm Functional Tests" and "Sperm Class Analyzer System" in the past two years.

The appointment of an externally funded Postdoctoral Research Fellow may be initiated at any time.
The procedures governing the appointments of the Postdoctoral Research Fellows who come to the Observatory with full external funding from either a foreign government or from a U.S. government source may be given full time, zero salary appointments without Affirmative Action clearance if the following criteria are met:
Their appointments will not extend for more than three years unless a full search is conducted or authorization is provided by the Vice Provost for Academic Administration for an extension of their appointment for not more than one year in order to allow the fellow to finish work on their current project.
A full search will be required if at some point during their three-year appointment Lamont decides to offer these full-time non-salaried postdoctoral fellows a full-time salaried position.
A request for this type of appointment must be made in writing to the Director. The term of the fellowship, documentation attesting to the award, and a curriculum vitae must accompany the request. Attesting documentation should be in English with external funding described in US dollars.
Extensions: the same request procedure will apply to any extension of externally funded term fellowships up to the three year maximum.
End of Appointment: When external fellowship funding ends or is not renewed, the LDEO Postdoctoral Fellowship appointment will end.

The dynamic duo of Sveinn Jóhannesson Kjarval and Hinrik Haraldsson return with "Keep Clickin", the follow-up to CCP Games in-house band's 2009 hit "Harden the Fuck Up." If only EVE Online were this exciting!
This is one of those moments when I'm extremely glad I get to type and don't have to actually pronounce any of these names. CCP brought this noise to its 2011 EVE Fanfest in Reykjavík, Iceland, giving fans in the land of the ice and snow a glimpse of why people from Iceland shouldn't wear swimsuits and rap.
Their bodies and the music pale in comparison to the greatness of "Harden the Fuck UP", but then so does just about everything ever created.
Anyway, this is how CCP spent its summer vacation, and all of that phat internet money. In case you're curious, this is how they made it.

When you are planning your estate, you generally have a clear picture of how you want your legacy to live on. In addition to deciding who will receive the house and family heirlooms, you have another important decision to make: who will carry out these wishes. The executor of your estate will implement your action plan, and act as the voice of your estate.
Choosing the executor of your estate can be a tricky job. This person will be helping your loved ones through a difficult time, overseeing your finances, paying your final bills and distributing your property. Because it is a great responsibility, you'll want to choose the right person for the job. These six characteristics should help you choose the best person to serve as your executor.
6 Qualities of a Good Estate Executor
- Ethical and Dependable – The executor of your estate will have an inside look at all of your finances. They will be charged with reviewing your assets, determining your liability, paying creditors and settling outstanding debts. You are entrusting the executor to settle your finances while maintaining a level of confidentiality. Choose someone you trust with your financial secrets.
Though many people choose a close family member or family friend, your executor can be anyone that you trust. A few options to consider include an attorney, accountant, banker or living trust as executor. Many of these people will charge a fee to the estate to settle your affairs.
Executor of a Will: Your Step-By-Step Guide (Checklist)
- Organized – Settling an estate requires a great attention to detail. From listing assets to meeting court deadlines, a strong attention to detail is a must. A missed deadline may draw out an already lengthy process, so you will want to choose someone that is task-oriented and can stay on schedule.
Help the executor of your estate stay on top of the details of your estate. Organize your accounts in one central location. (Note: Nothing will replace a will or written estate plan. Contact your Farm Bureau agent for assistance in planning your estate and for a printed copy of our Journal of Wishes and Records.)
- Financially savvy – Because of your advanced planning, you will likely have life insurance and a plan for long term financial security. You have spent your life building and protecting these assets. Ensure your executor will exercise as much caution with your assets as you did while you were building them. A business-savvy executor will exercise timing and restraint to ensure that assets won't lose their value before they are distributed to heirs of the estate.
Minimize the Impact of Taxes on Your Estate
- Fair and Impartial – Part of the job of executor is to balance you wishes with the best interests of beneficiaries. The executor will be called on to make practical decisions regarding your estate. Be sure to choose someone that can balance the best interests of your beneficiaries while remaining true to your final wishes (as expressed in your estate plan or via conversation). Often, executors are not beneficiaries of the estate, so they can act in the best interest of the estate without bias.
- Strong-willed – Unfortunately, false claims are often made against an estate in probate. Your executor should be prepared defend your estate plan from false creditors and invalid claims. Additionally, your executor may need to handle conflict among family members or anyone who may challenge your will. It's best to choose someone who can be diplomatic but firm in difficult situations.
- Available – probating or settling an estate can take (on average) between nine and 12 months to complete, which is a significant amount of time for most people. Though the executor is typically compensated for the time they spend executing your final wishes, it is wise to choose someone who has the time to spend on your estate. Duties range from taking inventory of the estate, contacting creditors, communicating your final wishes to beneficiaries, filing taxes for the estate, and (if necessary) defending the will in court. Have a discussion with the person you wish to execute your will, and ensure they are willing to spend the time it takes to wrap up your estate and carry out your final wishes.

In addition to all of these qualities, remember to choose someone that is compassionate. Your executor will help your loved ones through a very stressful and difficult time, while guarding and protecting your wishes. Your Farm Bureau agent is here to help. From life insurance to estate planning, your Farm Bureau agent can connect you with resources that will help you plan (and execute) your estate plan.

In response to the security incident at the Pauline Marois speech:
My fellow Quebecers, we allowed the sowing of poisonous seeds this past spring, and sadly, the fall harvest is proving to be true to what we sowed.
Everyone — everyone — must immediately turn down the rhetoric, turn down the hate and turn up the love. It's time to act like adults right now.
Mark Khoury
Let's face it: the provincial Liberals could no more keep from imploding than the federal Liberals. They were both dead-set on it, so let them go and let's get working on something new.
Nigel Spencer
Can someone please explain the purpose of polls during an election campaign?
The candidates should not need to know if their ideas are popular or not, or when to change tactics. They are supposed to simply say what they will do if elected, without undue influence.
The voters certainly do not need to know either, as their responsibility is to listen to the platforms of the various parties and vote for the one they wish to elect.
Instead, we are inundated with figures and numbers that cannot help but influence anyone who is not firmly committed to voting one way or another. In fact, it is often the latest poll that is the headline, with the politicians relegated to Page 2.
In the end, a poll-free election would be more pure and fair. And that is my opinion, within three to five percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
David Bernstein
Re: "No fanciful or injurious markings, please!" (Gazette, Sept. 4).
I much appreciated The Gazette's explanation of why our province uses perforated paper voting slips marked with a pencil that are then placed in a cardboard box by an elections employee. Let me understand this: we can transfer millions of dollars electronically, file our highly confidential tax returns online, but somehow in their great modern wisdom, our politicians have us voting circa 1970.
Alanna Israeloff
On Tuesday, I exercised my democratic right to vote in the provincial election. On arriving at our polling station, I noticed an information poster hanging at the entrance, explaining the steps involved in casting one's vote. Pictorially, the process was very clearly illustrated. However, I was very disturbed, but unfortunately not at all surprised, that the text was entirely in French. I find this very offensive.
Gerald Abish
On Tuesday, I witnessed a friend being told — very rudely, by a man who refused to speak English to her (she speaks French, but not fluently) — that she wasn't allowed to vote because she didn't have her election card. Even after his superior said she could vote, he refused to let her.
It is extremely concerning that people were turned away from the polls for no valid reason. This is definitely a reason for such low voter turnout. It was hard enough to convince my friend to exercise her right to vote, and then they turned her away.
It would be very interesting to investigate all the cases of people not being allowed to vote. I heard from a lot of friends and family that people they know were turned away from the polls for not being on the list (even though they've never moved and have voted in every election at the same place), or worse yet, people being told they had already voted when they hadn't.
I'd like to see how many complaints Elections Quebec receives, especially from anglos who were turned away.
Emma Williams
You know what the best part of Election Day is? People are finally going to stop talking about the elections!

The Galileo Educational Network is the professional learning arm of the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary and has pioneered a mentoring approach for continuous professional learning
Impacts of Design-based Professional Learning for New Teachers
Teachers new to the profession require additional supports to strengthen teaching practices and launch them on a trajectory of success and career long learning. Working in collaboration with a large urban school jurisdiction, Galileo designed and engaged cohorts of probationary teachers in a year long professional learning series. The focus of this series was to support new teachers in building competency to better meet the expectations of the Teaching Quality Standard (Alberta Education, 2018). Throughout the series new teachers engaged in cycles of learning where they were invited to design authentic discipline-based tasks and assessment practices to improve the learning of their students. These learning cycles also required teachers to gather evidence of the impact of their teaching on student outcomes and review this evidence with colleagues at each subsequent session.
Over the course of the 2018-19 school year, researchers from Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary, studied this professional learning intervention and found statistically significant growth of these new teachers in four competencies of the Alberta Teaching Quality Standard: (1) demonstrating professional body of knowledge (through planning and designing learning activities, using instructional strategies to engage students in meaningful learning activities, applying assessment and evaluation practices); (2) engaging in career-long learning, (3) establishing inclusive learning environments when designing learning, and (4) applying foundational knowledge about First Nations, Métis and Inuit to Learning Designs.
The video reflects the learning experiences of teachers who participated in this professional learning series.
Client Testimonials
Hear from educational professionals about how the mentors at the Galileo Educational Network have transformed their teaching
"This practice encouraged me to be more intentional in all aspects of teaching and focusing on student learning. Intentionality in relation to outcomes, groupings, practices, process, product, etc. It also providing a grounding point when having conversations around student learning. What was the desired outcome vs. what evidence was providing. How did you use this information to guide your next steps in teaching and supporting student learning."
"This has been such an amazing PD for me as a teacher. I thank you for your encouragement. Your expertise and for your passion to enable us to be more powerful dynamic educators. I can't wait to carry on this journey"
"I greatly appreciate these sessions. I always feel excited and energized to move the work forward. These past two years have been some of the best professional development of my career. Thank you."
"Thank you for a great day [in our school]. It was wonderful to be focused on meaningful work that we can utilize immediately in our classrooms."
