Argentina contracted 765MW of wind power and 516MW of solar PV via Round 1.5 of its RenovAr renewable energy programme, as average prices fell to around $54/MWh for both technologies. Competition again brought down prices from the $59.75/MWh cap and the average costs for solar and wind registered at Round 1. Solar was contracted at an average $54.94/MWh, with winning bids coming as low as the $48/MWh offered by provincial power company EMESA. Wind was contracted at an average prices of $53.34/MWh, with the lowest bid the $46/MWh offered by China's Sinohydro Corporation. Competition was strong as the tender was once again oversubscribed, which led the government to contract more than the 400MW of wind and 200MW of solar PV initially announced. "The decision to contract more power than initially intended was because we decided to contract up to the maximum of transmission capacity in each node," said energy minister Juan Aranguren. The government had qualified 1.6GW of wind bids and 888MW of solar PV bids. Despite the overwhelming presence of Chinese and Spanish companies in the tender, the winners were diverse, with local companies taking the biggest share. Among the top wind winners, Spain's Isolux won two contracts totalling 198MW. Provincial companies EMESA (from Medonza province) and Parque Eolico Arauco (from La Rioja) won contracts for new 50MW and 95MW wind projects respectively. Local power companies Genneia, Centrales de la Costa Atlantica and CP Renovables won contracts to build 100MW, 38MW and 48MW respectively. The remaining two wind farms were secured by petrochemical group Petroquimica Comodoro Rivaldavia (100MW) and local businessman and banker Facundo Fravega (37MW). In solar PV, the winners were mainly local companies. The biggest winner was local developer 360Energy and companies owned by its controlling shareholder Alejandro Ivanissevich, with 170MW from seven projects. Medonza's EMESA won 93MW, while local industrial companies Colway and Daiser and renwable power developer Latinoamerica Energia won contracts for solar projects with capacities of 20MW, 22MW and 1.7MW each. Among foreign players which won contract were Spain's Isolux (80MW), China's Jinko Solar (50MW), the US's Soenergy (35MW) and Brazil's Quaatro Participacoes (24.75MW). The contracts are due to be signed in January. Combined with Round 1 in September, Argentina has in 2016 contracted 1.5GW of wind and 916MW of solar that will be built over the next two years. "With Round 1.5 and the expected contracting of the [500MW from the old] Genren programme, Argentina will have approximately 9% of its power supply from renewables, over the target of 8%," said Sebastián Kind, Argentina's under-secretary for renewables. Argentina's revamped renewables law requires 8% of supply from renewables by 2018 – up from below 1.8% today – and 20% by 2025. The tenders are expected to contract at least 1GW of wind, solar, biomass and biogas projects a year. Argentina has a total of 34GW installed capacity, of which 270MW is wind and around 8MW is solar. Total investment in the two renewable energy rounds is estimated at $4bn over the next two years, with the creation of 90,000 jobs, the ministry said. "This is a result of the investor confidence in Argentina and clear tender rules," said Aranguren. The government will now study transmission restrictions and power demand to decide when and how much to offer in next year's tender. Aranguren said that initially Round 2 should be announced by March, but the exact date will depend on the studies.

The snow storm disaster in southern China occurred in early 2008 left a serious impact to the line relay protection channel adhering to the transmission line, due to the poor adaptability to sudden accidents of communication channel based on optical fiber, which is widely used in field of transmission line relay protection. Based on the comparison and analysis of several kinds of commonly used protection communication channels, the principle for 220 kV transmission line protection channel scheme is adjusted. Theoretic calculation is made to demonstrate the reasonability of the new principle application in 220 kV Fangyuan-Gangyang line and further suggestions on the new principle for 220 kV transmission line protection channel scheme are given.

The distributed basin model (DBM) has become one of the most effective tools in river basin studies. In order to overcome the efficiency bottleneck of DBM, an effective parallel-computing method, named temporal-spatial discretization method (TSDM), is proposed. In space, TSDM adopts the sub-basin partitioning manner to the river basin. Compared to the existing sub-basin-based parallel methods, more computable units can be supplied, organized and dispatched using TSDM. Through the characteristic of the temporal-spatial dual discretization, TSDM is capable of exploiting the river-basin parallelization degree to the maximum extent and obtaining higher computing performance. A mathematical formula assessing the maximum speedup ratio (MSR) of TSDM is provided as well. TSDM is independent of the implementation of any physical models and is preliminarily tested in the Lhasa River basin with 1-year rainfall-runoff process simulated. The MSR acquired in the existing traditional way is 7.98. Comparatively, the MSR using TSDM equals to 15.04 under the present limited computing resources, which appears to still have potential to keep increasing. The final results demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of TSDM. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

River coding method for drainage networks plays an very important role in the physical simulation of river basins. In this study we developed a new river coding method named Multi-tree Coding Method (MCM), which has the following features: (1) it is established on a topological pattern reflecting the dendriform structure of drainage networks; (2) the multi-tree code can be effectively managed by the database to perform convenient topological search toward drainage networks using Structured Query Language (SQL); (3) the multi-tree code does not exhibit digital overflow problems in the computer, thus any resolution and scale drainage networks can easily be coded; and (4) it supports high-efficient search process. A river reach can be directly positioned in a drainage network under MCM, without the complex search process from all river reaches. This feature has great potential to improve the computational performance of basin models. We demonstrate here the efficiency and practicality of MCM by testing it in the Yalu Tsangpo river basin, Tibet. A drainage network with 140,745 digital reaches was extracted from the digital elevation model (DEM), and the multi-tree codes of all river reaches were obtained. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

In view of fuzzy modeling of complicate nonlinear systems, an on-line identification algorithm based on an improved T-S model is presented. Differential equation structure of the model is obtained first, then the fuzzy cluster center is corrected on-line according to the close degree of the input sample and the cluster center, and the cluster radius is refreshed in real-time according to the distance between the input sample and the cluster center. Finally, consequent parameters of the model are identified by the recursive least squares algorithm. Compared with previous identification algorithms, the on-line identification algorithm presented in this paper requires less fuzzy rules, has higher identification precision, and is simple and easy to implement. Practicability and effectiveness of the method are proved by the simulation results of the Box-Jenkins data and the boiler overheated steam temperature system. It provides a method to identify model parameters on-line for many new control strategies, such as fuzzy predictive control, adaptive control, etc.

The vibration induced by the transient unloading of in-situ stresses (ISTU) is an important part of the eventual excavating vibration during the tunnel blasting excavation. In order to reveal the energy distribution characteristics of vibration induced by ISTU and its influence on the energy distribution of eventual excavating vibration, the energy distribution characteristics of vibration induced by ISTU under different in-situ stress levels and blasting loads were studied with the method of power spectrum analysis. The results showed that the frequency-band energy distribution of vibration induced by ISTU and blasting load were basically identical, but the main frequency of vibration induced by ISTU was lower than that induced by blasting load. The vibration induced by transient unloading of in-situ stresses was an influential factor, and it increased the low frequency component of vibration energy. The increase of in-situ stress level raised the vibration amplitude induced by ISTU and did not affect the frequency-band energy distribution. © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.

Since the 1960s, most inland lakes distributed in western China are getting shrinking, salty and even drying due to enhanced human activities. Deterioration of inland lake environment seriously influenced the sustainable development of local society and regional economy. In this article, we studied the dynamic evolution pattern of a representative inland lake in china, i.e., Ulungur Lake, based on water and salt balance of Ulungur Lake. With this model, the research recovered the natural water level, and simulated the evolution of water salinity during 1960-2005. The experimental results indicated that, the changing amplitude of lake-level response to human activities accounted for more than 70%, and the aggravated water salinization was tightly related to increasing irrigation water consumption and shortage of fresh water supply. © 2011 IEEE.

In order to adapt the new situation that large-scale wind power is being integrated into power system more and more, the probabilistic production simulation method for mixed wind-hydro-thermal power system is researched and improved in this paper. The units loading order is redefined based on equivalent continuous load curve. The indices of loss of wind energy expectation (LWEE) and abandoned wind rate (AWR) are proposed based on the improved production simulation. The analytical expression of partial derivative of the indices with respect to conventional unit capacity is derived based on cumulant method. The results on IEEE-RTS79 system demonstrate that the proposed method is feasible and effective. © 2012 IEEE.

There are three indexes K30, Ev2, Evd which are used simultaneously to test the quality of the high speed railway roadbed. The indexes make the testing job very hard because of their strictness. In order to simplify the testing work, the paper analyzes the correlation of the three testing indexes based on a large number of site test data. The results of analysis indicate that there is good correlativity among the three indexes, and the values of indexes obtained through the regression curve are very close to the standard values. It is better to use Ev2 to substitute K30, or use Evd to substitute Ev2 and K30.

I think over-night bread can be a good way to get fresh bread every day? I've tried, but even though the night-before assembly is super brief and you literally portion the dough with a spoon in the morning, I couldn't quite get into the habit. But I like the recipe I have and will share if you like :)

For understandable causes, the legislation college reform motion has historically been dominated by pessimism. We have three new initiatives: a brand new mission to tackle the growing issues in the Private Rented Sector funded by the Big Lottery Fund, a brand new Public Interest Litigation Unit which takes on cases with a wider public benefit and a Personal Insolvency Law Unit which is the primary undertaking of its kind to take an moral approach to supporting individuals through severe debt/chapter.
A current evaluation of the laws which was conducted to find out whether Australia ought to enact the UN Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications in International Contracts has concluded that in acceding to the Convention (which applies to worldwide transactions solely), the existing Australian laws must be amended so that the law regarding international and domestic transactions is similar.
If you don't it's a signal of a number of things, (1) you're too lazy to seek clarity on vital points of life selections, (2) your reading comprehension is crap, (three) you may never underneath a SCOTUS case written pre-1980, (four) your comprehension of simple numbers is crap, and (5) you are too proud to inform your self of the downsides of legislation college—at T$U the downsides are life-altering.
I was desirous about Joe Don, Will, and my 150 web page, 300 footnote law overview article thanking all of the tenured members of my college, several people I hardly know but might have met at a convention in Barcelona, citing myself 37 instances, and whether I can wring out one other article from what some would say is a slim matter, when a regulation college pal walked in with a problem.

Persistent emotional pain is apt to cause or contribute to persistent physical pain. Both are simply different forms of suffering. Our suffering can be seen to have a purpose, and often shows us where we need to learn something. Our part is to look where the arrow is pointing.
Emotions, like our thoughts, have a huge impact oh our physical health. The emotional category includes our ability to feel and express our emotions; to live from our heart, if you will. Blocked emotions lead to a buildup of internal stress, which will affect our health sooner or later.
Emotions have been referred to as "energy in motion." Allowing ourselves to feel our feelings as they arise keeps our energy moving, and helps to avoid stagnation. A fundamental premise in Chinese Medicine is that energy stagnation causes pain
When we allow ourselves to fully experience an emotion as "energy," and let it move through our body, it usually dissipates quickly on its own. Sometimes another feeling arises as the first one fades away, and you allow it to move on through the same way. There might be several layers.
The key is to simply view the emotion as an energy, without any "story" attached to it. An example of a story would be, "Oh, I miss my husband SO MUCH! What am I going to do without him? What's going to become of me?"
This is likely to make the grief stick like glue. It's important to feel it, and important to let it go when it's done. If it comes back two minutes later, you feel it again, and let it go. This is how you can move through deep grief – one wave at a time.
It's helpful to maintain a curiosity about exploring each new layer as it arises. For powerful emotions, it can be very helpful to work with an experienced counselor as your guide.
If we don't allow ourselves to experience our emotions as they come up, they go into storage, to be dealt with later. There's nothing wrong with this, as it's all a learning process. You can revisit old feelings and do your housecleaning when you feel more ready – but it is important to do it at some point.
Old Baggage
If we haven't allowed ourselves to experience or express our feelings over the course of our life, they are still tucked away somewhere in our body or subconscious mind, where they can weaken our vitality, cause stress & tension, and even unwanted behavior. This is often referred to as "unfinished business," or "old baggage."
This old emotional baggage is heavy stuff. It weighs us down and prevents us from rising to new heights. You may have heard the term "heavy" applied to emotions, and aptly so. You can probably recall times when circumstances prompted you to reopen your dusty old suitcase, giving you a taste of what was in there. It probably wasn't exactly uplifting.
It's not uncommon to find old emotions we've denied being physically "stored" in our areas of chronic pain. The unwanted energy literally gets stored in the tissues.
Sometimes all that's needed is a suggestion to "allow yourself to feel what's underneath the pain," to bring these feelings to awareness. Doing some regular emotional house cleaning benefits both mind and body. A sensitive counselor can be very helpful in exploring this territory.
Survival Patterns
The so-called negative emotions of fear, anger and grief are completely appropriate in certain circumstances. But if we habitually use one of these feelings as a defense, we tend to get "stuck" in it.
We each have our own unique survival patterns. These are mostly defenses we adopted to protect ourselves when we were growing up. Often we learn to shut down our emotions as children because some circumstances are too painful to deal with.
Survival patterns take different forms. One person might get angry and inflict it on someone they care about, while another might be afraid to stand up to someone who's intimidating them.
Our survival patterns are like computer programs running in the background – and activated automatically in certain situations. Having our "buttons pushed" can cause a lot of stress and tension, and trigger responses that we later regret – causing even more stress.
The main keys to dealing with these old emotions and behavior patterns are awareness and acceptance. Allowing the feelings to come forth helps a lot, too.
Lifelong Emotional Habits May Determine How We Die
"Neurosurgeon Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., in his book Life Beyond 100, summarizes four personality types – based on many studies – and links them to longevity:
1. Hopelessness
2. Blame or Anger
3. Bounce between Hopelessness and Anger
4. Believe that happiness is an inside job
These people tend to die from:
1. Die 35 years younger than group 4: 75% cancer and 15% heart disease.
2. 75% heart disease and 15% cancer.
3. 9% either heart disease or cancer.
4. Most die of old age: 1% either heart disease or cancer.

Do you control your email?
Our definition of "being productive" is somewhat skewed.
Most people get up in the morning and start checking their email- deleting spam, responding to messages from friends/family, and setting up appointments based on new emails they have received (applies to voicemail as well).
But are these the most pressing concerns of the day? Are these actions going to drive your goals forward (to finding a new job, getting accepted to a graduate school program, etc).?
I've witnessed firsthand the failure of this approach. Instead, try a different method. Wake up and write down on a legal pad the 10 things you want to accomplish that day. Now set out getting those things done and check email only once an hour. Doing this will allow you to control your productivity and your email without letting them control you.

Syrian families struggle to survive in besieged east Ghouta
The scale of destruction and depth of suffering is mind-blowing. It is hard to imagine life in these conditions.
These are the thoughts that hit me as we arrived in the so-called "buffer zone" just outside of besieged Al-Nashabiyeh in east Ghouta, rural Damascus.
Burnt trees, rubble, and damaged buildings lined the streets as we entered the town to deliver aid as part of a joint United Nations and Syrian Arab Red Crescent aid convoy.
It was the first humanitarian aid to reach the area since the conflict in Syria started seven years ago.
* Animals rescued from abandoned zoo in war-torn Aleppo
* Aleppo: Six ways Kiwis can help
* The Aleppo that was: before war, before the destruction
* Watch: A timeline from the Arab Spring to the battle of Aleppo
I accompanied the convoy in my role as Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene with UNICEF Syria.
We brought food, health and nutrition supplies, educational materials, basic hygiene items, children's clothes and other much-needed assistance to children and families in Al-Nashabiyeh - enough for 7200 people.
Members of the community told us that out of 23 villages in besieged east Ghouta, only six are livable amid the violence and destruction.
Families in the area live in constant fear, moving regularly from one village to another to escape the violence.
Can you imagine always having to be on the move with your children?
"When there's fighting, we move; when it's calm, we come back," one man told me, explaining the life of displacement that children and their families face every day.
Most of the schools have been destroyed or damaged which has forced children to drop out of school either partially or entirely.
Some of the children I met haven't been in a classroom for more than two years, while others go to school only sporadically.
Parents and teachers have moved all the schools located near the front lines to residential buildings and basements to protect children and give them a sense of a normal school day.
But there are still severe shortages of teachers and textbooks, making it harder for children to continue their education.
We visited the only functioning hospital in Al-Nashabiyeh - or what's left of it.
It has been mostly destroyed in the fighting, with only a few doctors left to operate in the basement, providing the most basic health services to children and their families.
They lack medical supplies and enough health workers, but they do what they can to save lives.
In the middle of in Al-Nashabiyeh, men and children fetch water for their families using a hand pump, drawing water from wells.
"We know the water is contaminated," a father told me. "We only use it for washing and cleaning."
Families buy drinking water for a price seven times higher than in other parts of Syria - 500 Syrian pounds, or about US$1, for just 20 litres.
This drinking water is filtered using locally-made equipment, meaning that it isn't entirely safe.
Families explained that they can't boil the water - which would be a cheaper alternative to disinfect it for drinking - as fuel is expensive and rarely available.
Residents often collect plastic bags and burn them for fuel.
Despite this scarcity and destruction, children's resilience and determination to survive and have a normal childhood is impressive.
I heard about one family of five who survived for four weeks on an income of about US$20, which they earned from farming and selling their produce.
This is often the only means of survival for children and families living in east Ghouta - an area once famous for producing and supplying fruits and vegetables to entire neighbourhoods of Damascus and its surroundings.
The extent and magnitude of children's suffering in east Ghouta is unimaginable.
Intense violence in populated areas like this one puts the lives of thousands of children at risk. It causes massive displacement and civilian casualties.
Hospitals, schools, and playgrounds have gone underground for fear of being targeted.
Lack of food, water and medicines place children at severe risk.
To deliver the life-saving humanitarian assistance these children so urgently need, we must have regular, unconditional and unimpeded access to all children in need, in all parts of Syria, including besieged and hard-to-reach areas.

Your snowboard skills foundation are obviously very important. Not only that you put good energy into working on them in the beginning, but also that you are willing to down shift from time to time, to do drills and maintain your base skills.
The name of the game here is patience and Ibuprofen. It is recommended that you use an instructor to help you get going and to give you a better idea of where to put your time and energy in the beginner stage. This will better your chances and potential for a good time and rapid snowboard skills foundation advancement. However, you will take some hard falls. the nature of 2 feet on one board with sharp edges is that while you are learning you will catch an edge or 3. When that happens the resulting whip and smack can hurt a bit. Don't give up!! Keep trying and for every little moment of success or fun along the way, enjoy it and give it credit, for the pleasure is just beginning. Yes, snowboarding is incredibly fun. It is great how once you get through the first couple days and finally figure out how to turn left and right and stop, you will start to progress fairly rapidly. Then all the way through your learning curve, the better you get the more fun it is. This is a nice feature of the sport. Whether you are able to use an instructor or not, here are a few drills you can do on your own time to make sure that you are setting a good base for your snowboard skills foundation.
In this snowboard skills foundation drill we will focus on edge control and finding your mid-range comfort zone. This seems incredible basic but it actually requires a lot of practice to do it easily.Snowboard Skills Foundation - Heelside Sideslip & Stop
Another great beginner drill to help find and develop board control comfort level is the falling leaf. The falling leaf drill is called that because it mimics the action of a leaf falling from a tree that gracefully drifts side to side. The leaf makes an arc as the air resists is fall by supporting the weight of the leaf. The leaf will drift to one side arc up and stall out before switching directions and drifting in the same kind of arc in the opposite direction.Falling Leaf Heelside
Okay, this one is fun. Here we will learn how to use your arms upper body and hips to lead rotation of the board and body of the rider. It is also a great exercise to get used to sliding and rotating from edge to edge, heels and toes. This will end up being great practice for later on when you are learning to spin off of jumps. You want to be capable of over or under rotating and landing on the uphill edge to slide out of it. If you end up landing on or catching your downhill edge upon landing or sliding out, the resulting whiplash crash will be dangerous and painful. It is good to be comfortable with the Side Slip drill and the Falling Leaf before attempting the Pinwheel.
Riding catwalks can be very difficult for beginners. That being said, It can also be an outstanding place to check your snowboard skills foundation through body positioning and board control skills. When on a catwalk, or other flat terrain you will feel the board kind of floating around under you. This makes it feel likely that you may catch edges, which is scary. Try to overcome the fear and experiment with your alignment and stance to try and find the comfort zone. This can really be valuable as a learning tool. Again it is challenging to face the fear and work on something so basic, that seems so difficult. But the outcome of accepting the value of it is in itself good practice for high level progression. Also, it is nice to not feel terrified by the high edge catching potential of a flat catwalk.
One more very important thing to practice on the subject of snowboard skills foundation is developing your habit of making good round turns. It is normal for many beginners to make turns that leave kind of a zig zag track in the snow. This is okay to start but as soon as you are comfortable enough you should try hard to finish the turn by riding the shape of the board furter through the turn and across the hill. This more complete type of turn will leave more of an S shaped track and is a basic skills foundation goal. Work towards smooth round S shaped turns that are led by the upper body.In conclusion for the snowboard skills foundation page, I should point out that these drills and practices apply all the way through the highest level of riding. Don't hesitate to pull these drills out once in a while to hone your skill set and continue to build that foundation. Again, I must encourage the value of work hard and determination. If its challenging, its worth mastering.Have fun and practice, practice, practice....

In Control
10117 Berlin
No less than two pieces of the exhibition "In Control" deal with the subject of weather – a sphere that is even until today beyond human control. The work "Weather Piece" (2011) though, has literally caught a piece of weather – a small glass case has become home to an endless shower of rain and therefore contains the uncontainable. Also the video installation "His Master's Voice" (2011) shows a tropical thunderstorm raging on two screens. Palm trees are bent by gusts of wind and rain, houses are unroofed, pylons snapping. Here, the set up of the installation contradicts the ravaging forces, as it seems as if a small device – an old reel-to-reel player, installed between the two screens – is controlling the spectacle of nature. Not only does the position of the player between the screens suggest that it is the source of the film, it also appears as if the small device is responsible for what happens on screen: Whenever the tape stops, the sound of the roaring wind fades and whenever there is a turn in direction of the reels the wind changes its direction, too. The title, "His Master's Voice", reflects the immanent ambivalence of the work. On the one hand it alludes to the idea of a force beyond human control and imagination that manifests itself in the storm. On the other hand it is in fact the brand's name of the reel-to-reel player. Therefore, the nature of the events remains unsettled.
Having dealt with impacts of gravity in the past and with the idea of its reversal in particular, for "In Control", Stefania Batoeva is investigating means of influence in more general terms. Because even beyond the laws of physics, for example in our imagination, things exist in relation to one another, control or change each other, or at least try to do so. In doing so, Batoeva is also concerned with aspects of control in regard to formal questions: What visible and invisible forces are significant? Which aspect gains the upper hand, controls the shape and determines the aesthetic of an object?
In the case of the piece "Give And Take" (2012) the distribution of parts seems to be evident: The heavier bowling ball pushes softer rubber ball against the wall. The latter looses its round shape and has to act passively as some sort of cushion that absorbs the seemingly imminent collision of the ball with the hard and relentless wall. "Try And Stop Me" (2012), however, creates a more complicated web of relationships since this time the seemingly more active part is not the one in control. While the upward moving ball is stretching an elastic rubber band and shaping it like an upside down V, a metal weight is securing the band to the ground. Even though the ball in some way shapes the sculpture, ultimately it is the passive weight resting on the ground that limits its influence.
Batoeva also investigates, as described above in regard to the pieces dealing with weather, the freedom and limitations in the way we think and perceive. Again and again she creates scenarios in which the actual qualities of her objects are replaced by fictitious ones and thus uses her works to confront pre-established notions with the actual experience. Another example of this within the exhibition would be a series of sculptures made out of glasses that stick together like magnets and therefore, in contrast to the viewer's expectations, are prevented from crashing to the ground ("Still I", "Still II", "Still III", 2012).

Aug 29, 2001 – Oleg Sotnikov, 35 of Ashdod a truck driver employed by Dor Energy, was killed in a terrorist shooting attack near the Samaria community of Shavei Shomron, west of Nablus.
At about 10:00 A.M., Oleg Sotnikov entered the Palestinian village of Kutchin in Area B, west of Nablus to supply cooking gas to the local residents. He drank tea with Abu-Rami the Palestinian gas agent at his home. Upon leaving the village, terrorists opened fire on his truck from an ambush. Sotnikov apparently left the truck hoping to flee by foot to the nearby main highway, but was gunned down.
Oleg Sotnikov was married to Irina; they had one son. He immigrated to Israel from the Ukraine in 1998 after divorcing his wife. Just a month ago Oleg and Irina remarried.
Oleg Sotnikov was buried in Ashdod. He is survived by his parents, brother, sister, wife and son aged 15 who is attending school in the Ukraine.

The Help is one of those films that rolls out every so often with the idea of reaffirming a generalized point of view that no one can possibly deny having anyway… now, in any sufficiently large public forum. It's the 1960s, we're in Jackson, Mississippi, and there is some technical sense in which people of color are no longer slaves.
The film lays out the conflicting attitudes of white people, with the general result that – A) by and large, white people were really awful bastards, but B) some of them must have been fairly decent, because (among other things) black people didn't vote to give themselves the right to vote, or make sure they eventually actually got to use it when they had it.
Though a great many films have run along this basic road, to a variety of overall results, The Help is an effort that, while rich with complexities and emotion, aims not only at spinning perhaps the most digestible yarn it can out of the fabric it has, but also weaves in a sort of fairy tale end that softens the final look until things become almost forgettable.
Somewhat oddly (if you know nothing of the machinations of those preparing books for film audiences), I am led to understand that this end has nothing to do with the events of the popular novel.
It all starts with Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan (Emma Stone) returning home from college to find that her maid is no longer with her family. No one will talk about it, but Skeeter is determined to discover what happened to the woman who, for the most part, raised her. Meanwhile, she also has to figure out how exactly she meshes back in with the society she left, and wants a job.Her natural circle of peers are among the socialite sect, and their unqualified leader is Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas Howard), a wonderfully obnoxious snob who is currently fixated on promoting the idea that residents of Jackson should build separate bathrooms for their colored maids.Skeeter manages to procure a job at the local paper, but it's a cleaning advice column. She enlists Aibileen (Viola Davis), a maid who works for one of the circle, to help, but Skeeter's writing bug isn't satisfied. Finding herself appalled by the general treatment of the maids, and the elitist attitudes of her "friends," Skeeter decides to write a book from the perspective of the local "help," sharing their stories, and their point of view on life.Naturally, Aibileen is reluctant to tell tales on her employer, or anyone else, because losing your job is only one concern for a black woman in 1960s Mississippi. Aibileen's best friend, Minny (Octavia Spencer), who features prominently in the film, thinks the idea is insane. Skeeter is persistent though, and she quickly wins over the pair, largely because she exudes genuineness. The women sneak around compiling the book, ever fearful of the wrath that will befall them if anyone finds out what they're doing. As events unfold, Minny is soon fired when she decides to thumb her nose at Hilly's separate bathroom rather than brave a hurricane, and she finds that the only person who will hire her is the ostracized "white trash" wife, Celia (Jessica Chastain).Events play out much as we'd expect at this point, and the film's main value comes wherever it slides briefly away from these expectations. We know where we're going on the main front, and our arc is too timid to make anything like a real statement. Instead, it is ultimately neither social commentary, nor criticism, but a kind of long and winding footnote in some other story. On the other hand, when we veer off, we find that the film has some voice after all. Minny's relationship with Celia, for example, who is herself the victim of Hilly's social bootprints, delivers more insight to the situation at large than anything. It also provides one of the film's best moments, for comedy or social exposition, when Hilly and her bridge club actually hide from Celia like a bizarre band of schoolgirls.

Entry 04/01/2010 10:31:39 PM – Mentat 565
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. – Isaac Asimov, Foundation. (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Violence)
What's prompted me to start this entry with this? Sitting there in a chat room with various teens and early tweens, where one had said that she was rather pissed with the social stigmas in place where women can hit men, but men cannot hit women without hitting up against the walls of social stigma. She had called it at one point [people that followed this stigma] "closed-minded" (with in my opinion carrying with it the undertone akin to "ignorant"), of which an acquaintance of hers tried to prove the point of its necessary in today's society.
I admit that I wasn't properly prepared for a debate of this magnitude, and as the coffee was just getting into my system at the time, jumped into it rather poorly trying to prove that there really is no necessity for any sort of violence as a retribution to whatever's going on. I tried to go down the road of non-violent alternatives to the need for fist — but also included my bottom line opinion of any use of fists for any reason (other than perhaps self-preservation at the threat of death/murder at the hands of someone) is nothing more than the support of a thug-mentality in a civilized society.
Truth be told, I watched my temper flare up momentarily listening to this tween thinking that his living in the United States was not a civilized society and knowing full well based on his naïve responses after that comment of how much he hasn't a clue what it's like to live outside the United States of America and thinking he has a good idea on what uncivilized is.
Yeah, my anger still flares up quickly when faced with an incredible level of ignorance, either from naiveté or from intentional ignorance (not to mention some combination of the two.
Still though, after bowing out from the debate, knowing full well that any further will end up with me either on a very slippery slope that the man was intentionally setting up with a very small set of justifiable parameters or it turning into two fools yelling at each other — I'm sitting here contemplating the level of ignorance to the law that teens and tweens have thinking that it needs to resort to fists or some sort of violence for self-preservation. I'm reminded keenly as I'm sitting here listening to my music back in the times when I was a teenager when my Ancient History Teacher looked at us during a debate on Athenian and Spartan Law, "Ignorance of the law is no defense, even back in the days of Ancient Greece…"
Now don't get me wrong — I know how difficult it is in childhood and adolescence with the gang-like and thug-like mentalities. I remember keenly that there was fist-fights, various assortments of physical and more prevalent mental and emotional violence. I remember suffering through a great amount of it through elementary and junior high school in fact. But yet I was able to prevail through a majority of that without having once to lift a fist up and punch someone. Part of the reason was because of my being a coward.. Most of my reason was because somehow I knew from my experience of fist fights with my brother for years doesn't solve anything — it just escalates the problem worse than it already was.
Somehow I doubt that this lesson has changed all that significantly in the 30 or so years since I've been in school. I have also gotten through a good majority of my adult life without having to lift a fist against someone to solve a problem. I have relied on my wit, my mind, and my mouth to avoid the need. And when those failed — I learned the law and used them accordingly (like I did with Wayne).
*sigh* I know that I'm bordering on entirely the wrong side of proselytizing, given that those that know alternatives to raising a fist against someone has already learned to use their brains through a situation instead. But at the same time, I can't help but wonder — what with these kids learning this in school as a method of handling their problems — don't they wonder why the state of their peers is the way that it is? That in allowing the bullies and the thugs that use violence to control, that in raising a fist even in defense is providing proof that the thug-method of problem solving is why they don't see the "civilized" side of the world? That ultimately all that's being done is proliferating more ignorance?
Eh… it makes me sick and tired of dealing with children sometimes. Particularly those that think it's cool to be violent, and that fist-fighting regardless of gender — is a mark of distinction (instead of what it is — the mark of infamy and scorn).
Well that's enough on that. There's nothing much else to say on the subject that doesn't make me look like I'm on a soapbox in Trafalgar. In other news I think I might actually have a date next week. If I don't completely dork the hell out or flake for the moon. Seems a pretty all right man from what I've been able to determine in the correspondences going back and forth to setting up the date for coffee. Of course it's the routine problems that I have whenever trying to set up a date in the first place… where to meet, how easy it is for me to get there, and what not. Though there's this niggling thing that almost always gets me when a conversation reaches a certain point with queerfolk…
All right, so I could meet him for coffee this week because of the flooding and trying to get everything dried out in the basement as quickly as possible — so I went with going for sometime next week. This man lives in Hingham, MA (which is in fact pretty close to Boston (in the same way that my hometown is close to Providence). So basically he offers to go halfway — which would be a difficulty for me — so I counter with somewhere in Boston (which is convenient for him, and I can get there in about the same amount of time if I were to actually drive there (if I had a car and a driver's license).
Tells me that weekends would be best, but wouldn't mind week. I can't do weekends because of my schedule and the time that I work, so have to settle for the days off that I have. Offered a day, but wouldn't suggest a place other than Boston, as the only places I knew for coffee there were Dunkin' Donuts or Starbuck's (although I do remember a couple of coffee houses near to the Chandler Inn, but I'll be go-to-hell if I can remember the name of the places without having to Google them, or launch my map application in my phone.
Still have a week to plan this out and was looking forward to seeing someone demonstrate they're continued writing skills because from the correspondences going back and forth — it seems the man has a good grasp of spelling and syntax, didn't rely once on text-speak and didn't CAPSLOCK at all through the messages. But I didn't notice that they were getting shorter and shorter…
Then it happens… the message I knew that all gay men do when they get bored of writing… "Here's my number… call me.."
*sigh* Really? The tentative date is a week away and you want to get on the phone and talk about it? I mean sure, I remember the whole thing about dates — I used to set them up by telephone all the time. But even then, when it's a first date — and a blind one at that — I usually only did it a couple of days in advance. If it were a formal date — sure a week in advance would happen… But this is an informal date and my time doesn't free up until a week or more afterward. If I could've written, I would've. Makes it easy to find things in common or not. Hell, even would allow for questions to get queued up when one did actually meet in public vis-à-vis.
Though based on the response — I get the distinct impression the reason why he chose this route was because of self-consciousness. Because if it's keyed into the whole "laid-back" bullshit mentality gay men think is a good façade to have, I guarantee this isn't going to be a date next weekend. I'm so sick and tired of this "laid-back" mentality I catch from gay men (or rather men in general) which translates to bottling crap up, and avoiding responsibility because laid-back also means lazy…
so I'll call tomorrow night when I wake up, and if the temperatures are as pleasant tomorrow night as they are tonight — I'm going to do so while walking to the Dunk in Blackstone.
Well that's about it for the time being. Time for me to wander as it's my turn to see how much water's left in the basement and get it bilge-pumped out of there. Until the next time.

Skip to comments.Welcome to the FEMA Corps Inaugural Class
Posted on 10/17/2012 11:02:49 AM PDT by traumer
Originially posted by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Deputy Administrator Rich Serino on Thursday, August 13, 2012
Yesterday, we welcomed 231 energetic members into the first ever FEMA Corps class. The members just finished off their first month of training with our partners at the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and are one step closer to working in the field on disaster response and recovery. They will now head to FEMAs Center for Domestic Preparedness to spend the next two weeks training in their FEMA position-specific roles. Once they complete both the CNCS and FEMA training, these 231 dedicated FEMA Corps members will be qualified to work in one of a variety of disaster related roles, ranging from Community Relations to Disaster Recovery Center support.
FEMA Corps builds on the great work of AmeriCorps to establish a service cadre dedicated to disaster response and recover. To be sure, responding to disasters is nothing new for Americorps. In fact, the great work that AmeriCorps already does during disasters was the inspiration for FEMA Corps.
When I visited communities all over the country that were devastated by disasters, from Joplin, MO to Bastrop, Texas, I always encountered the incredible members of AmeriCorps lending a helping hand to survivors. I was continually struck by the level of compassion, dedication, and skill these members brought to the table.
(Excerpt) Read more at dhs.gov ...
The FEMA regional headquarters is so close to me that they could send someone over on foot or a bicycle to come get me, or maybe a FEMA Corps kid with a little red wagon.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
I guess what FEMA is saying is that the new 250,000 DHS employees, the local guys getting billions in taxpayer dollars, the TSA, and all the other agencies just can't hack it without a bunch of dumb kids to join in the fray. What was lacking at Katrina and other siutations was 18-24 FEMA works, right, FEMA?
Department of Homeland security, with it's nazi sounding name, has about the number of personnel as the USMC, and it has twice the budget of the USMC.
It is aimed inwardly. A police/security state is being constructed around us. Their "mission" is supposed to be to protect us from terrorism. Yet, they arm the cartels, they strike side deals with sinaloa. They target Ron Paul voters, people who advocate following the constitution, veterans, and TEA supporters. They are vicious in their condemnation of anyting that casts moslems in a bad light.
They are after us,,not the "terrorists".
Their parents must be SO PROUD.....
I think they are being trained to be the first generation of "green police".
They will prolly all be issued a .40 cal and 5,000 rounds of plus P plus ammo. Just for target practice though.
Cannon fodder for the first wave, expendables.

text: My god i hate Ric Flair. I'm getting really sick of him talking trash about everybody he can just to keep his name in the news. He's nothing but a delusional (probably senile) attention whore. He's launched many unprovoked verbal attacks on respected legends of the business like Randy Savage, Mick Foley (who, according to Flair, is nothing but a 'glorified stuntman') but his most vicious attacks have all been directed towards Bret Hart. He's even gone so far as to accuse Bret of exploiting his brother Owen's death for his own gain. I don't know where he pulled that one out of but maybe he's just naturally a pathetic, bitter old man. All he can do is consistently ruin his own legacy as the years go by. Constantly kissing the ass of everybody who's still with WWE and can help him with his career, while insulting everybody he can outside of WWE to cause controversy. He shitted all over ROH. He shitted all over his retirement send off from WWE ("i can still take part in street fights", bullshit.) Personally i think Ric Flair is a piece of garbage. There has never been anyone in the history of wrestling i have such little respect for.
