About the Book
In the Neighborhood of True
by Susan Kaplan Carlton
Publisher: Algonquin Young Readers
Release Date: April 9th 2019
Genre: Young Adult, Historical Fiction
A powerful story of love, identity, and the price of fitting in or speaking out.
After her father's death, Ruth Robb and her family transplant themselves in the summer of 1958 from New York City to Atlanta—the land of debutantes, sweet tea, and the Ku Klux Klan. In her new hometown, Ruth quickly figures out she can be Jewish or she can be popular, but she can't be both. Eager to fit in with the blond girls in the "pastel posse," Ruth decides to hide her religion. Before she knows it, she is falling for the handsome and charming Davis and sipping Cokes with him and his friends at the all-white, all-Christian Club.
Does it matter that Ruth's mother makes her attend services at the local synagogue every week? Not as long as nobody outside her family knows the truth. At temple Ruth meets Max, who is serious and intense about the fight for social justice, and now she is caught between two worlds, two religions, and two boys. But when a violent hate crime brings the different parts of Ruth's life into sharp conflict, she will have to choose between all she's come to love about her new life and standing up for what she believes.
My Review
1958. Following the sudden death of her father, a still-grieving, sixteen-year-old Ruth Robb, her mother (Alice), and younger sister (Natalie) migrate from New York City to Atlanta, Georgia to live with her maternal grandparents, the Landrys. Feeling foreign in her new life of southern tradition, etiquette, and private schooling, Ruth yearns to belong to among the pastel Atlantan beauties and their glitzy world. And Ruth soon discovers that life for a Jewish girl can be difficult and even hazardous in a Jim Crow south seeded with white supremacy even in the most unexpected places.
With her grandmother's help and her mother's reluctant compliance, Ruth begins passing as a young White Christian Southern belle, denying her Jewish heritage, religion, and political beliefs. But conforming to the debutante image she aspires to proves more difficult than she initially imagined. Beyond the frosting gowns, the sequins, the frills and lace, and the makeup and jewels lurks an evil, a deeply rooted hatred against those perceived as "other." But before Ruth can truly take a stand for others, she must first do so for herself.
Carlton paints a vivid and fluid picture of the not-too-distant past (and in many ways the present), detailing the complex and colorful mosaic that was (and is) life in the South–all while contrasting the good and the bad, the beauty and the hideousness side by side. Carlton's interpretation of 1958 Atlanta illustrates the physical, social, political, and religious climate with such detail and clarity that we can practically see, taste, smell, hear, and feel this fraction of the tension that helped define the Jim Crow South. Miscegenation, racism, and antisemitism are among many of the topics Carlton tackles with skill and sensitivity.*
Carlton carefully limns her characters with distinct and authentic voices and spirit. Ruth, the main character and narrator, grew on my gradually as she developed into a more mentally and emotionally mature young woman. At first, Ruth's personality is grating, which is somehow tempered by the fact that she is aware of her shallow nature. She clings to and reflects on her fashion magazines and their teachings with religious fervor while halfheartedly practicing Judaism, which she claims (albeit privately) is her faith. Even her debutante lessons and knowledge fails to demand her full attention and commitment though she professes interest in following her mother's and grandmother's footsteps down that path. However, she is willing to look into others' experiences and empathize with them, qualities that helped her outshine and outgrow her more shallow tendencies.
Davis, her main love interest, proves more disappointing. Without saying too much, he falls short of making substantial growth, drifting or allowing himself to be pulled along in one direction or another. Still, his feelings for Ruth seems sincere. Meanwhile, Natalie (Nattie) is a delight. She's perceptive and wise in her own way, and offers fresh perspectives on many ideas and situations the way only an eleven year old can, with growing awareness, openness, and honesty. Like Natalie, Alice–a strong and ambitious young mother and career woman–is sure to be a favorite. She does a wonderful job holding her family together, educating her children about and exposing them to harsh realities, and helping each member to grow at a pace each can handle.
In In the Neighborhood of True, Carlton skillfully brews a potent blend of historical fact and fiction to create a bittersweet tale of love, loss, and strength–of identity, family, and community. Carlton's timeless portrait explores what it truly means to love, accept, and be ourselves; what the costs of standing up for our beliefs are or should be; and what we are willing to lose if we do not.
Rating: 3.75/5
*I definitely appreciated how Carlton handled the interactions and issues surrounding Norma, Birdie, and other black characters. I like that neither they nor their lives were forgotten or completely overshadowed by Ruth and her circle. And that Ruth and a few other characters cared about and tried to show their respect for them, all while acknowledging their own shortcomings and showing a growing awareness of their actions and words.
I received a free advanced copy of In the Neighborhood of True as part of the FFBC Blog Tour in exchange for an honest review.

The Internet, free speech and Pepe
October 19, 2016
It's the sad, horrible truth: Pepe the Frog is now a white supremacist. Or, at least, he is if you ask the Anti-Defamation League or anyone else who hasn't turned on a computer since the days of dial-up connections and floppy discs.
Pepe is a meme that started on 4chan, but was originally in a comic series called "Boys Club" by Mattie Furie. Later, he was adapted by users on the site as a reaction image and thus, a meme was born.
Memes are just the internet's version of an inside joke, which people that aren't in-the-know are left out of, which means the ADL is essentially that one friend that became upset when you and your best friend started giggling at the word "Pepe."
Or rather, Hillary Clinton's campaign team is.
In a misguided website post, her team claimed that Donald Trump was sharing the Pepe meme because it represents white supremacy.
However, no one questioned the intentions behind this seemingly innocuous frog until her website brought awareness to the fact that Pepe has been used by white supremacist groups.
The fact that Pepe can be used in the favor of these groups is no statement on him. The purpose and the fun of a meme is that its versatile nature makes it applicable in a variety of different situations.
This sad-looking frog can be used as the butt of millions of relatable Twitter jokes, or drawn on coffee shop chalkboards. Pepe's very existence is the only criterion that it met to be used by such hate groups.
While there are hate groups using the image of Pepe, he is also used by internet trolls.
Trolls thrive off of offending people on the internet, so taking something innocent and turning it into something vile is basically their job.
Unfortunately, because of this, Pepe became caught up in the Clinton/Trump crossfire, and now he's a racist.
More important than the misunderstanding and misuse of memes, is the large grey area of the legal implications of online activity.
There is virtually no legislation or legal precedence that controls day-to-day usage of the internet.
As a result, in countries that allow it, people have been able to say whatever they want however they want to.
There have been bills like the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act that have pushed for more control over the flow of information online.
SOPA and PIPA were met with hard resistance from many online platforms that were reluctant to let vague statutes be the new standard of right and wrong.
Freedom of speech is crucial to the new culture that has been ushered in by the internet. Businesses, politicians, musicians – and pretty much everyone else – use the internet to collect data and criticisms from their audiences.
So it's amazing that no one in power seems to understand the importance of ensuring that freedom of speech continues to exist there.
People have cried out that Pepe's new label is an attack on freedom of speech and, in a very strange way, it is.
What started out as Clinton's campaign team grasping at straws has somehow morphed into stigmatizing an image to prevent its spread.
Clearly, Pepe is not in the same league as a swastika or the Confederate flag, but the ADL has stepped in and made it so that they are all on the same level.
The ADL has clarified that most Pepe memes are innocent and not considered a hate symbol.
So, why, if the majority of Pepe drawings are innocent, would they need to be labeled this way at all? None of this makes any sense.
As far as I'm concerned, this whole ordeal has been pretty much pointless. The inconsequential Pepes are still out there, floating around and circulating amongst friends and followers.
If there is anything of any importance at all that has come out of this, it's the room for conversation.
There is a lot to be discussed on the topic of Freedom of Speech on the internet.
No one would have ever thought that it would take a miserable little frog to drum up enough controversy to talk about it.

Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have officially unveiled Yakuza 7, and it's a major departure from the rest of the series.
The latest entry in the series will star new protagonist Ichiban Kasuga, who takes the fall for a crime he didn't commit, spends 18 years in prison, and is then nearly murdered by his boss. After his would-be execution, Kasuga ends up in the port city of Yokohama, the new setting for the game and second major shakeup.
The series had previously been confined mostly to the fictional Tokyo neighborhood of Kamurocho, based on the Kabukicho red light district of the Japanese capital. The new setting, the fictional Isezaki Ijincho district, will reportedly be three times the size of Kamurocho.
The biggest twist to the Yakuza formula however is that the series is trading free-for-all brawling for a turn-based JRPG combat system. A screenshot on the game's official Japanese website shows Kasuga teaming up with several other characters to form a Final Fantasy-style party, which is squaring off against some thugs. Amusingly, Sega showed off Yakuza 7's turn-based combat back in April, disguising it as an April Fools' joke.
Yakuza 7 comes out Jan. 6, 2020, in Japan, China, and Korea. It will be released in North America and Europe under the name Yakuza: Like A Dragon later the same year.

These are some photographs taken as July winds down. No specific theme, just some photos that I like.
Tree Swallows are beginning to gather in large flocks before migrating south. They seem to be starting a bit earlier every year. These are pictures of individuals but I will posting some photos of the large flocks at some point.
I snapped some quick shots of a small bird flying across the beach. It turned out to be a Semipalmated Plover.
Double-crested Cormorants are everywhere. This one snatched a small fish for a snack.
And this one is just taking flight. His feathers look a bit ragged so maybe he is just finishing up a molt.
A Herring Gull having a crab lunch.
And a squadron of Great Egrets.
Moving away from the water, here are a young Rose-breasted Grosbeak (enjoying a berry) and an Indigo Bunting,
Song Sparrows are sort of plain in appearance but do have a nice voice!
This is a Least Sandpiper poking though the marsh. I always look for the yellow-green legs to make the ID.
The prolific rainfall this month made things pretty tough at one of my usual spots. The trail was partially flooded and there were clouds of mosquitoes. I saw very few birds in the 40 minutes that I braved the conditions but this one I spotted as I was close to leaving salvaged the trip. I was able to get a shot of a Great Horned Owl through a small window in all the bushes and trees between me and him. He left before I could maneuver for a clearer look but he's impressive even with the branches in front of him.

This evening while putting out my laundry, I noticed a huge white feather at my feet! I have never seen a white feather this big before.
FEATHER MEANING in the divinity code:
The Holy Spirit, Glory, Evidence of Angels, Protection, Trust, Covering.
Then I heard the Lord say, "WATCH! For each day of Hanukkah you will see more signs of my presence, for these signs are evidence of miracles manifesting in and around you."

On Saturday week the 24th of February at 5pm the Dublin senior ladies footballers take on Mayo in round 4 of the Lidl Ladies National Football League in Elverys McHale Park.
The game forms part of a double-header and will be followed by Dublin senior men's team facing off against their counterparts from Mayo in the Allianz National Football with that game throwing in at 7pm.
Both games are repeats of last season's senior All Ireland finals.
Dublin LGFA are urging Dublin followers who are making the trip west to Castlebar to please come along early and show the girls your support in what is expected to be a keenly contested game!
The hashtags #BackingEveryStep and #SeriousSupport will be very evident in the lead up to the games and the ladies team deserve both from Dublin supporters on Saturday week.
Just like the men's team the senior ladies team are the current All Ireland champions, that alone merits supporters to get behind them and turn up in huge numbers for their game.
But that alone is not the only reason to get behind the team, they also deserve support from the famed Dublin fans for all the sacrifice, commitment, effort they give to the jersey and the pride and joy they give to the county.
The Dublin ladies are chasing their first ever division 1 league title, they have had an excellent start to the campaign with three wins from their opening three games and sit at the top of the table.
A fourth league win in a row against Mayo on the 24th of February would give Dublin one foot in the semi finals and a step closer to that elusive league title.
Support from fans is important for all games, but even more so away from home and the Dublin ladies would appreciate as much support at their game as possible on the 24th.
So the call goes out to all Dublin supporters making the trip West, arrive early and roar and shout the Ladies on victory and another step closer to league title glory.
Tickets are available at www.dublingaa.ie/tickets and in selected SuperValu and Centra stores.
Pricing Information:
Pre-Purchase Price:
Adult General Admission: €12
Student / Senior Citizen: €12
Match-Day Price:

Property Restoration
Insulation Removal/Replacement that was Damaged by Urine and Feces
Insulation is necessary to keep our homes warm, but it also provides a cozy habitat for certain animals to nest in. Bats, mice, raccoons, and squirrels can all destroy insulation. While sometimes the insulation damage is from gnawing or tearing activity while they are inhabiting the space, in most cases, insulation is damaged by the urine and feces of the animals.
Bats and raccoons are especially destructive; an accumulation of feces and urine can destroy the insulation fibers and soak the wood and/or drywall as well. This detracts from the efficacy of the insulation and can create a health hazard. BatPro®'s restoration crews can remove damaged insulation and replace it with new insulation, ensuring that your original problem does not become a health problem.
Roofs are a common entry point for bats, raccoons, and squirrels. Holes can get chewed open, shingles can get ruined or torn off and there can become gaps and holes that need replacing. We can provide all roofing construction relating to your critter damage that was caused prior to their removal. This includes removing and replacing the sheathing, shingles, soffits, and vents.
Ridge Vent Replacement
The highest part of the roof is known as the ridge, which typically runs the entire length of the roof. The ridge vent is a vent that runs the length of the ridge; its purpose is to help ventilate the attic and keep shingles from buckling. These ridge vents are common entry points for bats, who crawl in through the vents and as a result, end up damaging them. As we perform an effective bat exclusion, keeping it effective is to replace/repair the damage or you could end up with the same problem.
We are great a removing the bats and other critters from your dwelling, office, barn, house, etc. However, property restoration could be required based on the damage that can be caused while they were there. We can help!!!
We have our residential building license so we are qualified not only to handle your removal needs but any and all property restoration services as well. Here are some of the property restoration services we can help you with, even if we weren't the ones that removed the bats and other wildlife.
Other Areas Where We Can Help
Other things that may need replacement based on entry points and the type of critters or bats you had are:
- Chimney Repairs
- Gutter Repairs,
- Siding and Flashing repair,
- New Roof Installation.
Whether we removed the bats from your property or not, we can help you restore it to what it was before you had your bats, squirrels, raccoons, or mice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be home for you to do the work?
Our work primarily takes place on the outside of the structure, typically not requiring for you to be home.
Do you guarantee your work?
Absolutely our work is guaranteed.
What kind of payments methods do you take?
We take cash, check, visa, and mastercard.
What problems do I have when I hear scratching noises?
It's nearly impossible to properly identify what animal you have invading your space over the phone or by just a scratching noise. We prefer to do a complete home inspection to properly identify what animal you're dealing with and determine how it gained access to your house or building.
- If you are hearing some light scratching/chewing on your wall/ceiling any time of the day/night that sounds like you are scratching the wall with your fingernail and if you tap on the wall/ceiling and the activity ceases for a short period of time and begins again, this is typically mouse activity.
- If there are scratching/scampering or rolling noises in your attic in the morning or early evening, and there are no noise like this at night, this is typically squirrel activity.
- If there are footsteps and heavy rolling in your attic and you hear possible "chirping bird" sounds and we are in April-June, this is typically racoons.
How soon can you get here?
The sooner you call to setup a inspection, the sooner we are able to commence work.
What areas do you currently service?
We mainly operate in Western Michigan. We will cover as north as Cadillac. We handle the Michigan Lakeshore (Ludington, Muskegon, Grand Haven) and South to Jension, Hudsonville, and Zeeland/Holland. We go East to service Mt Pleasant, Lansing, Alma, St Johns. And we cover all of Grand Rapids and surrounding Areas.

Carmen's Good Questions
[as it appeared in the December 2010 Newsletter]
There is nothing I like more than a good question about the Course. And by "good question", I mean a thought provoking one – a question that makes me reassess what I currently believe and perhaps come to see it in a new light.
As a result, we have a very interactive study group of Course students here in Louisville where everyone is encouraged to share their insights and questions. It is also a very diverse group with people from widely varying religious backgrounds so we get a lot of very insightful questions and I've been making a note of them for the last 15 years.
Aside from the helpful hints that the Workbook, itself, gives us – that our understanding, agreement, etc., do not impede the process – I guess the most helpful things that I could add would be the following:
The first 50 lessons are called "the undoing lessons" for a very good reason. They challenge us to question every value that we thought was certain, creating the mental space in our minds that is reuired before we will be open to the new and better thoughts the Worbook offers. In that process of questioning everthing that we always thought before was true, we tend to get very uncomfortable. Humans like being certain. Uncertainty feel weak even though what brought us to the Corse in the first place was the realization on some level that it's been our old "certainties" – the ego world's foundational but completely erroneous beliefs – that were actually killing us.
And the first instinct of us humans when we're confused is to seek help. My hint is to seek for that help where it can truly be found, not in other humans (like me) but to the only true teacher that the Course, itself, says is infallible: the Holy Spirit.
For while humans who've done the Workbook can, of course, be of service to us, the only Mind that really knows the whole plan for our own "customized curricullum" is not restricted by the limitations that exist on every human mind.
Whenever we're confused, we want that feeling to stop. NOW! We want to fill the void uncertainty created. And the world has been very successful in teaching us that we should seek our answers OUTSIDE.
But the whole point of the ACIM Worbook is to present BETTER ideas than the ego's world has to offer.
And so, my single most helpful hint to you – just as with the Text – is to seek your peace of mind in answers from a higher place than any other source. The Workbook was DESIGNED to open us up. Let its only true teacher fulfill His function by asking HIM to fill you up.
This is not to say that other human teachers aren't useful, too. But while their higher experience with the process was perfect for them, the Holy Spirit knows what works best for YOU.
This is not a "one size fits all" process, dear soul. To get your perfect fit, ask the Expert. First.
And don't forget that if you could do the Workbook perfectly, you wouldn't need it in the first place. So please be gentle with yourself. The temptation to go into guilt goes in the exact opposite direction of the instruction of your perfect path.
And just know that EVERY effort you make (even the ones you think are "small" or worse, "imperfect") is blessing not only you, but the entire world. And millions of your brothers will be joining you…
Know that you have my gratitude for this gift you're offering me – forever.

Mike, thanks for the article.
The reason employee engagement must start before the job offer is that we need to hire employees for their internal motivation. As they say, "Everything that's controllable has a person connected to it," and when discussing employee problems that person is a manager or an executive or the CEO. Internal motivation, unlike external motivation, is not under the control of the employer. Managers who know this don't make the mistake of presuming that they can change employees' internal motivation.
When there are disengaged or problem employees we need not look beyond managers and executives.
– Too many employees are in the wrong jobs, i.e., management errors.
– Too many managers are in the wrong jobs, i.e., executive errors.
– Too many executives are in the wrong jobs, i.e., CEO errors.
– Too many managers and executives Reward A hoping for B.
– Poorly behaving employees are tolerated, i.e., management errors.
– Poorly behaving managers are tolerated, i.e., executive errors.
– Poorly behaving executives are tolerated, i.e., CEO errors.
– In other words, we get who we hire and who we promote.
If we want to break the cycle, then begin hiring the right people for all positions.
Too much effort is spent trying to get employees to be engaged.
Employee engagement is what employers get in return for doing all things well.
Doing all things well is very hard work for most of us.
Creating an engaged workforce is not hard to do, see steps below.
Step 1. Have the CEO do her job well all of the time.
Step 2. Have all the CEO's direct reports (executives) do their jobs well all of the time.
Step 3. Have all the managers do their jobs well all of the time.
Step 4. Have all the supervisors do their jobs well all of the time.
Step 5. All employees will do their jobs well all of the time if all the others are doing their jobs well all of the time.
Oh wait, it is too hard to get the CEO, executives, managers and supervisors to do their jobs well all of the time so we'll just expect/demand/cajole/bribe/reward the employees to do their jobs well all of the time. Oops, that will not create engaged employees; never mind.
80% of employees are not well suited to their jobs including supervisor, managers, executives, and CEOs.
We keep hiring the wrong people to be managers and above.
The 20% who fit their jobs as managers can create an engaged workforce but if the executives are ill-suited to their jobs success may be fleeting.
Every Organization Is Unique; This is a shibboleth (def. a custom, principle, or belief distinguishing a particular class or group of people, esp. a long-standing one regarded as outmoded or no longer important.) that needs to go away. All organizations have one thing in common that makes them not unique; all employees are people.
There are many factors to consider when hiring talent but first we need to define talent unless "hiring talent" means "hiring employees." Everyone wants to hire for talent but if we can't answer the five questions below with specificity, we can't hire for talent nor manage talent effectively.
1. How do you define talent?
2. How do you measure talent?
3. How do you know a candidate's talent?
4. How do you know what talent is required for each job?
5. How do you match a candidate's talent to the talent demanded by the job?
Employers need to assess for:
– Cultural Match (Cultural Fit)
– Skills Match (Competence)
– Job Match (Talent)
Some employers assess for all three.
Potential is identified during the Job Match evaluation.

text: Nintendo has a history of introducing new ideas along with its new game consoles. Wii brought Wii Remote controllers, which allowed users to interact with games using gestures. Later, both Microsoft and Sony copied the idea for their own consoles. Wii U was an attempt, albeit a disappointing one, to add portability to its console by embedding a screen into the game controller. Nintendo 3DS brought 3D without the need of special glasses. Now the company is back with Nintendo Switch (find it on Amazon), which introduces a new concept for consoles.\nWill Switch enjoy the success of Wii or meet the fate of Wii U?\nI pre-ordered the Switch as soon as GameStop started taking orders. I received it on March 3, the same day it was made available to the rest of the world. My 4.5-year-old son and I have been playing with it for the last 3 days. Here are my impressions.\n\nMentioned in this article\nNintendo Switch\n\u00a0\n See it on Amazon\n\nWhat\u2019s in the box?\nYou will find the Switch console, which is more or less a tablet. There is a Switch Dock that comes with HDMI out, one USB 3.x port, 2 USB 2.x ports and a USB Type-C connector for power. And there are two Joy Con controllers, a Joy Con Grip and two Joy Con Straps.\nThanks to an iFixit teardown, we know what\u2019s inside the console: Switch is powered by a customized Nvidia Tegra X1 chip (the same chip that\u2019s used in Nvidia Shield Android TV) and it has 4GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage.\nThe touch screen has a decent 1280 \u00d7 720 resolution, which is acceptable in the age of HiDPI display because Nintendo games are known more for immersive and addictive gameplay, \u00a0not graphics. The console has a Micro SD card slot that supports up to 2TB of storage. It has a 3.5mm audio jack and a USB Type-C port for power supply, which also connects with the Switch Dock. The console comes with 802.11 a\/b\/g\/n\/ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 for connectivity.\nOpen source powers Nintendo Switch\nIt's worth noting that open source dominates the gaming industry: Nintendo Switch, like the PlayStation runs on FreeBSD; Nvidia Shield TV and Steam Machine both run on Linux kernel. Xbox, which uses the proprietary kernel by Microsoft, seems to be the only exception.\nNintendo Switch also uses software components from open source projects, including Google\u2019s Android and Apple\u2019s WebKit.\n Swapnil Bhartiya\n\nIn the screenshot of my Nintendo Switch, you can see the use of open source software\n\n\nFirst impression\nI was shocked to see how small the Switch is compared to my PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One. It\u2019s almost as big as Nintendo Wii, when plugged into the dock.\nWith Switch, Nintendo has moved away from the Wii branding, which is probably a smart move considering all the negativity around Wii U. That said, Switch has carefully borrowed features from those earlier consoles.\nThe name \u2018Switch\u2019 gives away what Nintendo is trying with this console. It\u2019s a 3-in-1 device that switches between a traditional gaming console that\u2019s hooked to your TV, a handheld game console like Sony Vita or Nintendo DS, and a standalone tablet that can be used with game controllers.\nSwitching it on\nSetting up the device is very easy. Just power it up, either in the docked mode or tablet mode and follow the on-screen instructions. I connected the device to the internet, logged into my Nintendo account and created 3 profiles for my family members. There were some updates available and it was a glitch-free experience.\nBeing able to create up to eight profiles on Switch is one thing I particularly liked about the device, as my family members can play the same game, saving their own progress separately. There is no struggle to switch from one person to another. When you open a game, you have to choose who is playing it. Simple.\nI wanted to test the online shopping experience, so instead of ordering cartridges from GameSpot I bought The Legend of Zelda\u00a0and Fast RMX\u00a0from the Nintendo eShop. As far as I know, unlike Playstation 4 Pro, Switch doesn\u2019t support additional Bluetooth accessories like keyboards that make it easier to type text, so I had to use a Joy Con controller to enter username, password and credit card information. The download itself took more than an hour (and that's with fast internet, the best Comcast has to offer in my area).\nI have been a first-person shooter gamer, but recently I finished Uncharted 4 and I discovered what I had been missing all this time. \u00a0The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild is a breathtakingly amazing game that is extremely immersive, thanks to a great storyline. This is the killer game that the\u00a0Switch needed for the launch.\nStorage woes\nAfter playing Zelda for a while my wife wanted to try Let\u2019s Dance. That\u2019s when I discovered that more than half of the onboard storage was full; there wasn't enough space to download 12GB of data for the game. We ordered a 128GB Micro SD card from Amazon that was delivered in 4 hours, thanks to one day shipping. Now I had to move all downloaded games from the onboard storage to the Micro SD card. A challenge.\nManaging storage is what I like the most about my Xbox One. All you need to do is plug in an external hard drive, Xbox will format it, and then you can easily move games from internal storage to the external drive. Simple.\nUnfortunately, there was no option to move game files from internal storage to external storage using Switch's data management settings. The only option was to archive the game, which I assume saves the game progress on the onboard memory and deletes the game from the device. I had to download the game again from eShop, which took more than an hour. I wish Nintendo would make it easier to move data between storage devices. Also, because game progress stored on the built-in memory, not on the external storage, you can\u2019t take your Micro SD card and play your game on a friend\u2019s console.\nI should also note that there is a USB 3.x port on the dock. According to some reports, the port is meant for adding external hard drives, just like on Xbox One. I like the idea of being able to use a 2TB external hard drive on my Switch, which will be cheaper than 2TB of Micro SD card. But I am not sure how it will work when I remove the console from the dock to use it in tablet or handheld mode because the game is stored on the hard drive. We'll cross that bridge when get there, as the USB storage functionality is currently disabled.\nThe gaming experience\nIn addition to the Switch, I also own an Xbox One, a Playstation 4 Pro, a Nvidia Shield TV and an Apple TV. I play games on all of these devices, but Switch is becoming my favorite. I simply love the modular design that allows me to use it in many different modes:\nConsole mode: The traditional console experience where I use the Joy Con controllers with the Grip to play games on my 43\u201d TV.\nHandheld mode: I can play anywhere in my house, and though my wife wouldn't allow it at the dining room table, it's nice to know I could do it. And I \u00a0can bring my games with me when I travel. Though the battery life is questionable (something between 2-6 hours, depending on the game), you can always plug it into a power outlet.\u00a0\nTablet mode: \u00a0Switch comes with a stand, so you can put the device on a table and use Joy Con controllers with the grip to play games without a TV around.\nMulti-player mode: Switch comes with two Joy Con Straps that turn each (right and left) controller into individual controllers and two players can play the same game. Joy Con controllers are equipped with some sensors and I can use them in the same way I use the Wii Remote Controller. It\u2019s magical!\nInitially, I though that the Joy Con controllers were too small compared to Xbox and DualShock 4, but after playing with them for a few days I am getting used to them. Joy Con is lighter than the Xbox One controller and DualShock 4, so it\u2019s more comfortable for kids. If you still want traditional controllers, you can pre-order Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers.\nUnfortunately, there is no headphone jack on Joy Con so you can\u2019t use headphones to play games on your TV without disturbing others. However, if you are using it in the handheld mode then you can use the 3.5mm jack on the console. Fortunately, my Yamaha AV system and Samsung UN43KU6300 support Bluetooth connectivity, so I paired my Bose Quietcomfort 35 with it and streamed audio through headphones instead of speakers.\nNo one is perfect\nIf you are a serious gamer, I assume you have (and need) both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. There are some great games that are exclusive to each console, but beyond that these consoles are treated equally when it comes to third party AAA titles. If there is a new game, it will be available for both Xbox and PS4. Switch has a major disadvantage here. While\u00a0I am quite certain that the Tegra X1 chip can handle high-end games, I am not at all sure that Nintendo will be able to persuade studios to port their AAA titles to the console. This\u00a0means that if you are a serious gamer, you will still need Xbox One or PS4.\nAt the launch there were no streaming apps available for the Switch, but since Wii does have Netflix I am assuming that streaming apps will arrive on Switch. Even if these services arrive to the platform, however, Switch doesn\u2019t support 4k, which means you can\u2019t play Ultra HD Netflix or 4K YouTube videos on the device.\nThe lack of AAA titles, the absence streaming apps, the lack of 4K output means Switch can\u2019t be the only console in your living room. It can\u2019t be the primary entertainment device. You still need another streaming box in your house. Switch, I fear will remain the secondary console.\nAs excited as I am about Switch, I see big challenges for Nintendo. Since AAA titles probably won\u2019t be coming for the console, the company needs to keep churning out great games for the device on monthly basis. Once I finish The Legend of Zelda, there is nothing for me to play on the device. I am not a huge fan of Mario Kart and the game that I really wanted, Mario, won\u2019t be released before December. So the Switch will basically collect dust. That\u2019s a serious challenge for Nintendo. I hope they have a very good strategy to keep gamers interested in the platform.\nShould you buy one?\nMy experience with the console has been positive so far. My son absolutely loves it and I am sure he will play Zelda and Fast RMX over and over.\nIf you're a Nintendo fan and adore Mario, Zelda and other games from the Nintendo universe, you should go ahead and buy Switch. From a hardware and experience perspective, Switch is the rightful successor to Wii.\nFor me, the biggest winning point here is that Nintendo is dramatically changing the way we play games. What I dislike the most about Xbox and PlayStation is that my gaming experience ends outside my living room where the consoles sit. With Nintendo Switch I can bring my games with me. The dock itself is so small that I can pack it and hook it to the TV in the hotel or Airbnb apartment. That alone is a killer feature for me.\nI hope this article will help you make up your mind.\nRelated video:

SINGAPORE: Amid the sharp drop in passenger flights, low-cost carrier Scoot has modified one of its A320 aircraft by removing all passenger seats to carry cargo in the cabin.
This has doubled its cargo capacity to nearly 20 tonnes, said the airline on Monday (Aug 24).
According to Scoot, it is one of the first airlines in Southeast Asia to operate cargo charters with such modified aircraft, with the first of these flights taking off from Fuzhou to Singapore last Saturday.
"The aircraft transported a total of 13 tonnes of cargo in both the bellyhold and cabin, comprising mainly goods for daily use, and has four more flights scheduled for the rest of August," said Scoot, adding that another aircraft will be modified this week.

The A320 aircraft was modified to better serve cities with smaller airports, said the airline.
It took four days to modify the aircraft, which included removing passenger seats, installing placards to mark areas where cargo can be placed and adding additional fire extinguishers.
For such flights, there will be a minimum of two pilots and two cabin crew on board, said Scoot, which is part of the Singapore Airlines Group.

It started operating cargo charters using its A320 aircraft in May, after receiving the necessary approvals to do so. It had loaded cargo in the cabin, secured on passenger seats.
This was its was of getting an "alternative revenue stream", said Scoot CEO Campbell Wilson.
"Since then, we have been growing our cargo capacity and capabilities to remain competitive while providing more value for our customers," he added.
To date, Scoot has operated more than 200 cargo charters to and from 10 cities, including Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Perth and Taipei.

Eighteen months ago, Esprit Holdings Ltd. (stock symbol 0300.HK) began to implement a set of turnaround strategies designed to help return the company to growth and profitability. A new CEO was named, operating costs were slashed, and underperforming stores were closed.
The strategies appear to be working. For the six months ended December 31, the company is expected to report a profit of at least $HK 90 million, or $US 11 million, compared to a loss of $HK 465 million ($US 60 million) in the prior year period.
That was the good news. The bad news is that most of the improvement was a result of drastic cost-cutting. Sales in the six months from July to December 2013 declined an estimated 19 percent from the same period in the prior year, indicating the company still has a long way to go to meet its goal of revitalizing sales.
Sales at Esprit have been on a decline since 2008. Total net revenue for the most recent fiscal year, which ended in June 2013, were $HK 25.5 billion (about $US 3.3 billion), down 14% from 2012. For the first time since going public in 1993, the company posted a net loss in 2013, of $HK 4.4 billion ($US 570 million).
Macroeconomic conditions in Europe, where Esprit does 78 percent of its business, have contributed to the decline. Unemployment remains stuck at over 12 percent in the region. Competitive pressures from larger, cheaper fast-fashion competitors like H&M, Zara and smaller, nimble specialty stores like Mango have disrupted the entire department store sector. The number of wholesale customer doors in Europe selling Esprit declined from 9,700 in June 2012 to 8,300 in June 2013, resulting in a 13 percent drop in net square meterage. Esprit's owned retail sector has been difficult as well: although the company opened 12 new stores in Europe in the year, bringing the total to 370, it suffered a 3.3% drop in same-store sales in the period.
Sales in Asia have become a larger piece of the business, growing from 14 percent of total sales in 2010 to 20 percent in 2013. China is the company's third largest market, at 9 percent of sales, after Germany with 44 percent and Benelux with 13 percent. It is in China that the company feels it has the most opportunity, and where it hopes to direct more of its resources now that the turnaround is underway. The company opened a China design center to better localize product for the Asian customers.
Esprit's California Roots
Founded in 1968 by Susie and Doug Tompkins, who launched the company in their San Francisco apartment and first sold clothes out of their VW bus, Esprit was at one time the fastest growing apparel brand in the world. The brand's unique designs with streamlined silhouettes in mix-and-match patterns and bright colors caught on quickly with consumers. Between 1978 and 1986, sales grew from $100 million to $800.The company was unique in a couple of other ways as well. Its concern for employees led it to be known as one of the best apparel companies in which to work. Margot Lewis, President of brand consulting firm Platform Media NY, and former Vice President of Marketing for Esprit, remembers it as a great place to work. "The company was a true pioneer in the way it treated its employees. The building was beautiful, there was a cafeteria with a chef who made organic food, there was yoga at lunch time…what Google is known for now Esprit was doing then."
Esprit's environmental consciousness was also ahead of its time. Co-founder Doug Tompkins ended up leaving Esprit in 1989 to become a full-time conservationist when he reportedly became troubled over the environmental impact of the fashion business.
The Turnaround
Jose Manuel Martinez Gutierrez, who became CEO in September 2012, was formerly an executive at Zara parent Inditex, but reportedly does not intend to evolve Esprit into a fast fashion retailer. According to the company, Esprit's target market , the thirty-something woman who demands quality and value, is a little older and more affluent than the typical fast fashion customer in her teens and twenties.
However, Mr. Martinez has apparently begun to use his experience to improve Esprit's supply chain efficiency, and has shortened its product lead times from six months to three, allowing it to better respond to fashion trends. Esprit is reportedly taking major steps to focus on quality, design and both the in-store and online customer experiences, to differentiate the brand from Zara and other cheap and chic brands. The head of product development was replaced in 2013 by another former Zara executive, Rafael Pasto Espuch. Denim and lingerie lines have been introduced, and licenses for products that were brand dilutive discontinued. Esprit has developed a new store concept, called the Lighthouse, which has resulted in continued performance improvement in the freestanding stores in which it has been introduced.
The Secret to Top-line Growth
Esprit's next steps will be to better leverage its new initiatives into top-line sales growth. Part of that work may involve a repositioning of the Esprit brand itself. In 2012, then-CEO Ronald Van der Vis said that Esprit had "become a safe brand, even a slightly boring brand." A company filing in 2011 said it had "lost its soul."
According to Platform Media's Lewis, Esprit was at one time one of the most recognized brands in the industry, considered "happy, modern, irreverent, spirited, and fun." However, in recent years its products had strayed from the brand's fun, happy, California roots, becoming "a cross between serious sportswear and career wear."Esprit's product lines are designed at its headquarters in Germany and China, two places that are as geographically and attitudinally far from California as one can get. The brand is not even available in the states: all of the company's North American retail shops and wholesale accounts were closed in 2012. Company representatives maintain that "the brand's future is in China, not the U.S."
Although its retreat from America, Esprit's original market, has detracted from its positioning as a California Lifestyle brand, in a couple of other key ways, Esprit is closely adhering to its heritage. The company has joined Better Work, a partnership to ensure that its factory workers around the world are treated and paid fairly.
It has also joined a group called ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) to help remove hazardous chemicals from the apparel supply chain. As part of the initiative, it has waste water from around thirty of its suppliers in China tested for the presence of harmful chemicals. If chemicals are found, improvement steps are taken.
Esprit plans to open up more of its "Lighthouse" concept stores in the next few years. The first ones, opened in Cologne, Dusseldorf and Antwerp, are bright, airy and environmentally green, a deliberate nod to the brand's California lifestyle roots. Product is displayed on shelving made of bamboo wood and braided reed. The space is accented by handcrafted ceramic pieces and photographs of the California landscape. Key style elements of the concept stores are also being introduced in its shops in China.
Over the next year or so, the company plans to focus on growing sales and gaining share, particularly in Asia. Competition is already intensifying in the region: Gap plans to have eighty stores opened in China by year-end. Although small in comparison to Esprit's more than 350 freestanding stores in China, its rapidly expanding Asian footprint and identity as an iconic and authentic American apparel brand may present a tough challenge for Esprit.

Alternative desired? Please call+49 8341 96793-0.
Robust work jacket with a sporty look
The stylish look of FORSBERG work clothing meets more functionality and excellent wearing comfort: this is the new work cardigan for men - Alrik II jacket whether you wear it at work or in your free time, the Alrik II by FORSBERG will keep you warm in cool weather, is windproof and makes you look great doing it. The knitted fleece is available in the colors olive and anthracite and offers a lot to look at.
Perfect comfort with plenty of freedom of movement
Great importance was attached to the ease of movement of the workwear, especially when it came to the cut. The arm section of the work jacket is slightly preformed, just like the body's natural posture. There are flat seams in the shoulder area, stress points are also available there. The area in the back is slightly longer so that the back area is properly covered even when working kneeling or bent over. There are light stretch cuffs in a contrasting color at the sleeve ends, which close precisely and keep the sleeves in place. The sleeves have been cut extra long to cover the forearm area properly, which provides protection against the cold, especially on colder days. The hood is adjustable with a drawstring and is also lined with a contrasting elastic band. The hem is slightly reinforced on the inside and contributes to the functional longevity of the cardigan.
Windproof workwear for cold temperatures
The thickly woven fleece is knitted and offers a very nice look. Another advantage is the inclusion of air in the chambers, which contributes significantly to good insulation values and keeps the body warm even in frosty weather. The inside of the men's work cardigan is very soft and feels comfortable on the skin. The shoulders and part of the back have been reinforced with softshell to protect high-abrasion zones from wearing out too quickly. The two-way zip can be opened from above and below, which can be used for activities while sitting. Like the zips on the breast pocket, front pockets and sleeve pocket, they are all in a stylish contrasting colour. The front zip runs all the way to the collar, where it is neatly finished with a chin guard. For improved protection in strong winds, the front has been reinforced with an internal wind protection strip. The collar closes very high and is lightly lined on the inside. In addition, a hood protects your head and neck area from wind and moisture. The two large pockets on the front, the breast pocket and the sleeve pocket on the right provide enough storage space. There is also a pen compartment on the sleeve pocket. The FORSBERG logo with the brand-typical polar bear was embroidered on the left sleeve, as well as the FORSBERG label in leather look on the left upper arm.
An important part of optimal work clothing is a good, robust, solid jacket. Especially in areas where uncompromising heat retention is important and a stylish appearance is important to you, the work cardigan for men is a faithful all-rounder. FORSBERG Workwear stands for sustainable quality, function and wearing comfort. All this was combined in the ALRIK jacket.

Legendary Pictures announced plans for a live-action Gundam film back in 2019, signing fan-favorite writer Brian K. Vaughan to pen the script. Two years later, the project has found a home and a director.
Netflix has revealed that they will be teaming up with Legendary Pictures on the project and that Kong: Skull Island director Jordan Vogt-Roberts will be directing the feature.
Mobile Suite Gundam was created in 1979 by Yoshiyuki Tomino as an original anime at Sunrise Studio. The series is credited with moving the mecha genre into the "real robot" era where mecha series focused on advanced yet conventional, futuristic giant robots as opposed to the earlier, "superhero robot" tones of earlier works like Mazinger Z and Tetsujin 28-go.
In both Japan and North America, Gundam is by far, the most popular mecha anime franchise having spawned an incredibly vast amount of manga, light novels, video games, TV anime, anime films and other media across the last four decades.
With Netflix having recently concluded its excellent Voltron anime series and Legendary seemingly sticking a fork in the live-action Pacific Rim films, the two companies recently pooled their talents to create a well-received Pacific Rim anime. It's possible that joint venture was a stepping stone for both parties to sign on for the Gundam film.
In addition to this project, Jordan Vogt-Roberts also has a live-action Metal Gear Solid film in development.

Stagolee Shot BillyPosted: December 25, 2020 Filed under: Mississippi, music, Nick Cave Leave a comment
In a St. Louis tavern on Christmas night in 1895 Lee Shelton (a pimp also known as Stack Lee) killed William Lyons in a fight over a hat. There were other murders that night, but this one became the stuff of legend. Songs based on the event soon spread out of whorehouses and ragtime dives across the country. Within 40 years, Stagolee had evolved into a folk hero, a symbol of rebellion for black American males. With commendable scholarship and thoroughness, Brown shows how we got from the murder to the myth.
so says Leopold Froehlich in Playboy, quoted on the book's back cover. I've been curious about this book since I first heard about it, finally pulled the trigger. Just that a book like this exists brings joy.
The murder was around 11th and Morgan in St. Louis, which today looks like this:
Should it be a UNESCO site? Paired perhaps with another St. Louis place of myth and violence, Cahokia?

The Broadway building is typical of the Minneapolis Northeast neighborhood. Formerly the home of Land O' Nod Mattress Co. and later the Twin Cities Paper Co., the building was renovated and carved into office space in 2012.
Now it's the new home for the Minneapolis office of BuzzFeed.
Last year, BuzzFeed acquired HyperIQ, a Twin Cities mobile and Web applications development company with offices at co-working space CoCo's downtown Minneapolis location. With a mandate to develop more apps for BuzzFeed users to share social news and entertainment, the new acquisition needed its own office.
After looking in Northeast, the North Loop, downtown and even St. Louis Park, BuzzFeed chose a nearly 6,000-square-foot space on the second floor of The Broadway at 945 Broadway St. NE.
With its hardwood floors, an open floor plan and exposed brick and timber, Phil Wilson says the space resembled BuzzFeed's SoHo office.
"There were a lot of spaces available, but we're close to a lot of really great places and a dynamic arts district," says Wilson, HyperIQ's founder and now general manager of the Minneapolis office. "It's great to be here."
The 60,000-square-foot building's other tenants include 612Brew, a CorePower Yoga, a Snap Fitness, Friends of the Orphans and a Spyhouse Coffee Roasters store.
Wilson says it didn't take much to get the space ready. They painted the walls, framed in a couple of small conference rooms, and converted a storage space to a video-conferencing room so employees can collaborate with BuzzFeed's New York office.
"We had to drop a lot of power and ethernet in," Wilson says.
BuzzFeed's 23 employees work at laptops on long tables, doing full-stack app development for Android and IOS. As they work, a monitor displays usage stats for various BuzzFeed apps, such as Cute Or Not, which has seen more than 2 million swipes and 450,000 pet photos uploaded since it launched in late February.
The local office may have 30 employees by the end of the summer and possibly up to 45 by the end of the year, depending on workload.
"I think the space could easily handle 50 employees comfortably, more if we wanted to be uncomfortable," Wilson says.
BuzzFeed joins a train of startup companies that have been migrating into office space in that part of Northeast for the last few years. After artists blazed the trail by opening studios, developers began renovating unused factories for funky, lower-cost office space for startup companies.
Developer Peter Remes, CEO of Minneapolis-based First & First LLC, which owns The Broadway and other properties, says that just a few years ago it was a stretch for companies to consider relocating to the area. Now, he says, instead of the traditional glass-and-steel towers of their parents' day, young entrepreneurs are looking for properties with that brick-and-timber character.
"We're showing properties almost daily to companies who say they actually need a space like this to recruit employees," Remes explains.
As more companies set up offices in the area, Remes and a real estate analyst think that more restaurants and other services are likely to spring up nearby.
"Everyone is still focused on the North Loop and near Northeast, but those services are likely to gradually filter up toward that area," says Mary Bujold, president of Minneapolis-based Maxfield Research.
As more developers renovate the remaining industrial buildings, Bujold thinks the rents are likely to rise in Northeast.
"There's going to be more interest in Northeast but as people snatch up that low-cost space, it's going to get harder to find," she says. "So the next iteration is going to be, how are some of those startup companies going to afford new space, and how will we develop it?"

In yesterday's post, we learned about trailblazing librarian and storyteller Pura Belpre. Today I want to present another monumental figure of the Puerto Rican diaspora, noted book collector, historian, researcher, writer, and activist Arturo Alfonso Schomburg. Often recognized as one of the fathers of Black history, his enormous book collection formed the basis of what is now known as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
Librarians and teachers looking for an ideal title with which to introduce Arturo Alfonso Schomburg to their students have to look no further than Schomburg: The Man Who Built a Library. Written by Caldecott Medal Honoree and Coretta Scott King Award winner Carole Boston Weatherford and illustrated by Eric Velasquez, this picture book biography is an artistic and literary achievement.
The book begins with Schomburg's childhood in Puerto Rico, where his fifth grade teacher alleged that "Africa's sons and daughters had no history, no heroes worth noting." She was wrong, of course. Moreover, this was the spark that lit the fire in Schomburg to seek knowledge willfully obscured (like the African origins of John James Audubon, Alexandre Dumas, and even Beethoven), to collect books and art, to write and to speak, to show that yes, Africans and their descendants have been actors in world history.
The bulk of the book covers Schomburg's adult life and work, from his arrival in New York City in 1891 (while Puerto Rico was still a Spanish colony), his research and writing, to his involvement in the Harlem Renaissance movement. While working as a bank clerk to support his family, Schomburg began collecting books, papers, pamphlets, and artwork produced by people of African descent. His enormous collection of materials (which, according to anecdotal accounts, was so overwhelming that it threatened to push the Schomburg family right out of their own apartment) became the Schomburg Collection of Negro Literature and Art at the 135th Street branch of the New York Public Library, now known as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
Boston Weatherford's lyrical prose is very accessible for the younger reader. It is more appropriate, however, for older elementary students, even middle schoolers. It is a longer picture book, with more heft than most. Each "chapter" is actually a column of text no more than two pages long, making the information easier to digest. Velasquez's illustrations draw the reader into Schomburg's world. Together, they form a engrossing narrative of the life, impact, and legacy of Arthur Schomburg. Now also available in a Spanish language edition (translated by Teresa Mlawer), this is a book not to be missed.
This book does not really lend itself well to a storytime read-aloud, but a librarian could perhaps read a selection or two and then do an activity such as having children curate a small collection of library books about a subject area that interests them. Teachers could also do the same in the classroom, introducing elementary and middle school students to vital library research and citation skills. If you are looking for a Teacher's Guide, Candlewick Press has one available on their website.

Islamophobia has become a global industry and many world politicians are to blame for this rising tide of hatred against Islam and Muslims. It is fast becoming prevalent in societies like India, America, Israel, China, and other parts of the world. The war on terror supercharged the far right in various geographical locations around the globe.
A relatively new addition to the state extremism against Muslims is in France. India's eyes and ears have grown sharper in Indian Occupied Kashmir and other parts of the country. Right-wing nationalism against local and foreign Muslims is spreading like wildfire. Speaking against Muslims and Islam in public now has become a popular way to attract the attention of voters and right-wing groups everywhere.
What To Do About It?
- Learn about Islam, Islamophobia and encourage others to do so as well
- Build relationships with local communities
- Stand in solidarity with Muslims
Advocate against anti-Islamic and xenophobic state and federal policies
- Join forces with like-minded people and organizations to raise a strong voice against Islamophobia
- Build a counter-narrative in media to spread peace in the world
- Find friends in the media industry to raise voice against Islamophobia
