Review of Kirsten Powers, "The Silencing: How the Left Is Killing Free Speech"Books
tags: free speech
Kirsten Powers's The Silencing, written by a journalist often characterized as Fox News' liberal-in-residence, is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it piles up examples of contemporary intolerance like cordwood. They come from politics, the media, and, perhaps most disturbingly, the university. On the other hand, they are all chopped to the same length: there is little nuance, little attempt to distinguish actual "silencing" from polemic, invective, and sheer noise. Sometimes the stories are incomplete, with no mention of successful resistance to suppression.
Powers starts by making a distinction (and correcting a misimpression created by the subtitle): she is not talking about the "left," she says, but about the "illiberal left," the far end of the political spectrum that wants to suppress debate rather than engage in it. Good point. But it quickly gets lost in the rest of her book, as more often than not she refers only to "the left,", including "lefty" pundits like Ed Schultz and liberal Democratic politicians. And most of her stories from the public arena do not exemplify "silencing" so much as competitive shrieking. For instance, in June 2014 George Will wrote a column about sexual assault on campus, sarcastically asserting that colleges and universities "make victimhood a coveted status that confers privileges." Polemical enough (and Powers doesn't include that line in her summary of the column). The "illiberal left" exploded. "By publishing George Will's piece," MoveOn.org fumed, "The Washington Post is amplifying some of the most insidious lies that perpetuate rape culture. It's not just wrong—it's dangerous. Tell The Washington Post: 'Rape is real. No one wants to be a victim. Fire George Will.'" To her credit, Powers credits the Washington Post, presumably a charter member of the "liberal media," for refusing to do so. She adds, "It's sad when it has to be explained to liberals that engaging with ideas or opinions they don't like is a critical and expected part of life in the public square." I presume she meant "illiberals."
Powers is effective when analyzing the elastic, often willfully vague buzzwords of the "illiberal left": "rape culture," "microaggression," "mansplaining," "hate speech," even "privilege." She knows that if you control the terminology of the debate, you control the debate, and that if your opponent can be "delegitimized, demonized, and dismissed," you win the debate by default. Thus the ad hominem attacks not only on the conservative Will, but on more liberal (but not "illiberal") writers and speakers such as Wendy Kaminer, who provoked a firestorm at Smith College with her defense of Mark Twain's Huck Finn, or Slate's Emily Yoffe, pilloried as a "rape denialist" for suggesting that women college students are less vulnerable to sexual predators if they don't drink too much. Nasty stuff, often pushed far beyond the nasty and well into the vicious by social media, a world of fun-house mirror exaggeration where hyperbole reigns. On Twitter and the like, nobody is ever "bothered," "irked," "annoyed," or even "offended"—they are always "outraged." And then they pump up the volume. Everything is a moral issue, with no compromise possible.
Predictably and understandably, Powers would prefer that political disagreements focus on policy. But here she is much less than evenhanded. When she says she wishes that debate over Obamacare had considered the Republicans' alternatives to it, I was brought up short. What alternatives? Were they drowned out by the right's rhetorical tsunami in opposition? What alternative was one Representative suggesting when he referred to the Affordable Care Act as being "as destructive to personal and individual liberty as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850"? What kind of policy analysis was Sarah Palin engaging in when she called the ACA "downright evil" and warned of "death panels"? How did the House of Representatives advance the conversation by voting more than 50 times to repeal the law? (It needs to be repealed, said Rep. Michele Bachmann, "before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens.") Powers mentions none of these—or any of the dozens of available equivalents—in her book. On politics and public discourse, it might be said that she is "fair" but not "balanced."
Powers is also "fair" but not "balanced" when pointing out that the Obama administration has carried on its own repressive campaign against the press. She emphasizes what she calls the "War on Fox News," but it's much more than that. Despite candidate Obama's promises of transparency, the government has stonewalled, intimidated, and investigated the press—in many regards, the New York Times and Fox News occupy the same bulls-eye. The left-right divide has relatively little to do with it; it's revealing that one of the most common adjectives applied to the government's obsessive attempts to enforce secrecy is "Nixonian."
The strongest chapters in the book ("Intolerance 101: Shutting Down Debate" and "Intolerance 102: Free Speech for Me but Not for Thee") deal with the genuine "silencing" that is happening more and more often in the one place where we might expect free speech to be most protected: on college campuses. Powers notes that the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has been quite successful challenging speech codes and the confinement of free speech to tiny, out-of-the-way "free speech zones." (With no sense of irony, campus police at Modesto Junior College told a student on Constitution Day that he couldn't hand out copies of the Constitution because there was no room in the zone.) But despite their unconstitutionality and FIRE's successes, "free speech zones" continue to be a favorite administrative device for stifling debate.
Powers also cites FIRE on the growing number of on-campus incidents silencing outside speakers , noting that "between 1987 and 2008, 138 protests of planned campus speeches led to 62 incidents of an invited guest not speaking. Yet in just six years—2009 through 2014—151 protests have caused the cancellation of 62 speeches on campuses," adding that conservatives were "targeted with nearly twice the frequency" of liberals. (The obverse would help balance her argument: more than a third of those "targeted" were liberals.) Most publicized were protests over schools' choices of commencement speakers, which frequently resulted in the speaker declining to come.
The good news, although Powers doesn't report it: there was pushback. From liberals. At Smith College, former Brown University (and Smith) President Ruth Simmons, standing in for the scheduled speaker, said that "Universities have a special obligation to protect free speech, open discourse, and the value of protest. The collision of views and ideologies is in the DNA of the academic enterprise." She urged the school to invite the speaker again. At Haverford College, President Daniel Weiss candidly told a group of students that their letter to the commencement speaker "read more like a jury issuing a verdict than as an invitation to discussion or a request for shared learning." At Haverford's commencement, former Princeton President William Bowen said that losing a speaker in this way was "a defeat, pure and simple, for Haverford." (He added that he wished the speaker, University of California-Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgenau, had come to campus anyway.) The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that "his remarks drew a standing ovation."
Unfortunately, the pushback doesn't always succeed. Those speakers haven't been invited back yet. And had Powers dug a little deeper, she could have given much more than a single sentence to an even more vivid example, an incident that took place at my own university. In the fall of 2013, "activists" shouted down New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly's scheduled public talk on "Proactive Policing in America's Biggest City." Kelly wasn't being "honored" and did not receive a speaker's fee. He was there to present the case for his ideas, presumably including those about his controversial "stop-and-frisk" policy. He didn't get the chance. (There are several YouTube videos of the event, the longest of which is here.) One protester said, "They didn't respond to our demands that they cancel the lecture, so today we cancelled it for them." Brown president Christina Paxson deplored the incident, but to this day it is unclear whether there were any consequences for the disruptors. Later, the faculty voted to "table indefinitely" a resolution quoting the President's words and endorsing the University's own statement on academic freedom.
Finally, and too recently to be included in Powers's book, an incident this spring at Northwestern University threatened to curdle the academic environment even further by bringing the government into play. When Professor Laura Kipnis wrote an essay criticizing what she saw as "sexual paranoia" on campus, two students filed a Title IX complaint claiming the essay had a "chilling effect" on students who might want to report sexual assaults. Universities are legally obliged to investigate all Title IX complaints, and even though the charge was ultimately dismissed, the ordeal of an "investigation" that Kipnis endured, as reported in the Chronicle of Higher Education, might understandably make others hesitant to express their own opinions on controversial topics.
So the beat goes on. The press, at least, seems not particularly vulnerable to internal division and intimidation from within its own ranks: it knows what it stands for. Higher education, on the other hand, is threatened both from without and within. The price to be paid if institutions of higher learning yield to the formal and informal bullying that Powers chronicles is literally incalculable. Colleges and universities that permit it risk forfeiting the public trust in them as educational institutions. Who can know how many speakers will not be invited, how many talks and lectures will not be delivered, how many ideas (inside and outside the classroom) will not be heard, and how much intellectual and social progress will be impeded when such "authoritarian" practices (as Powers rightly terms them) become the norm?
Overall, Powers's book is a flawed but useful interim report from multiple battlefronts. Her occasional quotations from sages such as John Milton and John Stuart Mill are reminders that the fight for free expression has been going on for a long time. Her compilation of the latest combat casualties leaves no doubt that it will continue for a long time to come.

Facebook has disabled my account after I posted links to my Hub Pages! Has this happend to you too?
In my Status Line where it says "What are you doing?" I put in the URL to my Hubpage. I changed it regularly. Today I went to log in and Facebook has disabled my profile, saying I breached their rules (I think from reading the notice it's because I am referring those using Facebook users to another website - Hubpages).
FaceBook disabled my account too - they never made it clear why - I too linked my hubs to facebook -then the twits had the audacity to send an email to me saying one of my friends asked me to join facebook and guess what - my dead account was one of those listed as friends who I could stay in touch with.... My disabled account is still being used in marketing to join facebook - FaceBook SUCKS
if all you're doing is posting URL's in the status bar, I'm sure that's why.
when I publish a hub, I post it to Facebook from the hub page, but it gets published on the wall, not posted in the status box. if I want it posted on my profile page, I use the share it feature from HP.
If you want your hubs into facebook then import you hubfeeds into the facebook . There is a specific tool for importing external feeds in the facebook.
The way Facebook's set up, you have to be careful about posting links into your "status update" box. Facebook has software to detect what they consider "spam", and if you are only posting links and no content into your "status update" box, the software flags it as spam. The easiest way to avoid this being flagged as spam while still posting backlinks to your hubs is to click onto the "link" tag directly underneath the status update box. This should open up a seperate box that contains the prefix "http://". Simply click on that box and paste your hub's URL. Another plus to posting links this way is that it will be displayed with a thumbnail pic (chosen from photos in your hub or hubpages profile), and be more attractive to potential viewers. Most importantly is that you avoid the spam software altogether and never run into this problem again. Contact Facebook's customer support and explain your situation and I'm sure they can reinstate your account. Best of luck and I hope this was helpful.
I linked some pages to my own commercial site and was warned to stop or I would be banned. So I learn't something last week when I was still getting my head around this system. Instead I have put approved affiliate links on the pages. I haven't earn't a dime yet but its fun to write and to publish.
I use the "Share" button at the bottom of the Hub and haven't had problems -- yet.
I never made that connection --- until now --- but my Facebook page suddenly became mysteriously unavailable. It was shortly after I "shared" some of my Hubs on Facebook.
I've asked for password resets, etc., --- on all my email accounts. I've check my "spam" folders to make sure the reset emails weren't re-directed there. I've done everything.
Apparently Facebook has simply "blacklisted" me. They've never even told me why, or given me a chance to fix the problem at all.
It's kind of scary, because I have many causes and lots of good information on there. I've been building up and saving all my stuff for so long now, on Facebook. I even became re-acquainted with long-lost relatives, and found relatives I never knew I had.
no this can't happen..i have the rss of all my blogs on my FB ...i think your account might be hacked by some nasty geek who want to prove the world that he can conquer the world by hacking facebook pages :-/
i always add the link of my hubs..... i have never tried for url. And after this I would not try to add the URL.
I thought we could post about 3 links a day?
I have posted Hubs on my Facebook account but I also frequently post status updates. My understanding is if you post Hubs too many times on Facebook they connect you with spamming or soliciting. So far they have not disabled my account.
This question answer session has been quite enlightening and now I will be most careful about posting Hubpages to FaceBook. I think the admins on HP should give us an update tutorial on this issue. I 'infrequently' post a URL from Hubpages to my FaceBook status using the LINK input and then add a little blurb summary to interest people in reading my Hubpages. If someone has the facts about how many links can be posted daily, that would be helpful. Health and Happiness to all.
I post my movie hub links to their corresponding actor fan pages all the time...and all it has brought me is a decent amount of traffic to my hubs.
I share my hubs via the share on Facebook link at the bottom of my hubs when they are published. I don't post mine as status updates. Furthermore, I post other comments from time to time as status updates: so far there doesn't seem to be a problem. However, I see how there might be if I never did anything except post links to my hubs.
I never had that problem happen before. I posted a link directly into my status bar before and they never said anything. But, I usually just click the "like" button on the hub. If I were you, that's how I would do it next time.

Chwhere to buy tyvek wristbands in storeina honors army role models{文章内容}
BEIJING -- China"s Central Military Commission (CMC) has added two more honorees to the list of army heroes and role models, whose portraits are hung at major military facilities as a reminder of their contribution to the country.
The portraits of deceased explosion mechanics scientist Lin Junde and fighter jet pilot Zhang Chao will be hung together with those of eight other army heroes and role models at military units above the company level across the country, according to a document issued by the Political Work Department under the CMC.
The document specified rules and standards for the hanging of the portraits at facilities such as military history venues, cultural centers and corridors. It also said officers and soldiers should be organized to learn from the deeds and spirits of the heroes and role models.
Lin died in 2012 at the age of 74 and was posthumously awarded the honorary title of "Outstanding Scientist Dedicated to National Defense-related Scientific and Technological Development" in 2013. He had spent 52 years working in the Gobi Desert in northwest China, participating in the nuclear tests there.
The other honoree Zhang died in 2016 when flying a J-15 carrier-based aircraft in a carrier-landing simulation. He was later given the title "Pioneer in Building a Strong Army."

CHNG4812: Thesis B (2020 - Semester 1)
|CHNG4812: Thesis B (6 CP)
|On Offer:
|School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
|Unit Coordinator/s:
Dr Wang, David
|Session options:
|Semester 1, Semester 2
|Versions for this Unit:
|Brief Handbook Description:
|The ability to plan, systematically conduct and report on a major project, involving both research and design, is an important skill for professional engineers. The final year thesis units (Thesis A and Thesis B) aim to provide students with the opportunity to carry out a defined piece of independent research and design that fosters the development of engineering skills. These skills include: the capacity to define a problem; carry out systematic research in exploring how it relates to existing knowledge; identifying the tools needed to address the problem; designing a solution, product or prototype; analysing the results obtained; and presenting the outcomes in a report that is clear, coherent and logically structured.
The thesis is undertaken across two semesters of enrolment. Taken together, the Thesis A covers initial research into the background of the problem being considered (formulated as a literature review), development of a detailed proposal incorporating project objectives, planning, and risk assessment, preliminary design, modelling and/or experimental work, followed by the detailed work in designing a solution, performing experiments, evaluating outcomes, analysing results, and writing up and presenting the outcomes. The final grade is based on the work done in both Thesis A and B, and will be awarded upon successful completion of Thesis B.
While recognising that some projects can be interdisciplinary in nature, it is the normal expectation that the students would do the project in their chosen area of specialisation. For student who are completing a Major within their BE degree, the thesis topic must be within the area of the Major. The theses to be undertaken by students will very often be related to some aspect of a staff member's research interests. Some projects will be experimental in nature, others may involve computer-based simulation and analysis, feasibility studies or the design, construction and testing of equipment. All however will require students to undertake research and design relevant to the topic of their thesis. The direction of thesis work may be determined by the supervisor or be of an original nature, but in either case the student is responsible for the execution of the practical work and the general layout and content of the thesis itself.
The thesis must be the student's individual work although it may be conducted as a component of a wider group project. Students undertaking research on this basis will need to take care in ensuring the quality of their own research and design work and their individual final thesis submission. The thesis will be judged on the extent and quality of the student's original work and particularly how critical, perceptive and constructive they have been in assessing their work and that of others. Students will also be required to present the results of their thesis to their peers and supervisors as part of a seminar program.
Whilst thesis topics will be constrained by the available time and resources, the aim is to contribute to the creation of new engineering knowledge, techniques and/or solutions. Students should explore topics that arouse intellectual curiosity and represent an appropriate range and diversity of technical and conceptual research and design challenges.
|Assumed Knowledge:
|Enrolment in this unit of study assumes that Thesis A and all core chemical engineering units of study in third year have been successfully completed.

The 2016 presidential election cycle has already been going on for what feels like two thousand and sixteen years, but scarcely a moment has been spent with the lens and microphone on one of America's most important demographics, young Hispanics.
A recent Pew Poll found that Millennials make up nearly half of all Latino eligible voters. Since the last presidential election, over 3 million Hispanics reached the voting age. In addition, over a million foreign-born Hispanics became naturalized citizens and will be able to vote this year.
The entire 2016 election will boil down to which party does a better job courting Hispanics, and whether turnout of Millennials "trumps" previous years.
It's very easy for candidates to develop a "Hispanic Outreach" strategy in the form of a PowerPoint presentation shown to canvassers. It's easy to translate posters and signs into Spanish and plaster them all over Florida and Nevada. The bare minimum may be enough to eek out a win this November, but any candidate that figures out how to mobilize Hispanics to vote in higher numbers is poised to win in a landslide.
Before we look at what works, let's take a second to see what not to do. In December, Hillary's campaign came out with a much-maligned article entitled, "7 things Hillary Clinton has in common with your Abuela (Grandma)." Predictably, the hashtag #NotMyAbuela began trending across Twitter.
Millennials are extremely cynical. Even when candidates make honest attempts to discuss issues of importance to Hispanics, like bringing up immigration reform during a debate, they are lambasted by claims of "Hispandering."
Our 2016 candidates would do well to learn lessons from marketers on how best to engage young Hispanics without resorting to broken Spanish and embarrassing attempts at pandering.
Hispanic Millennials are not first generation immigrants. They are largely bilingual Americans who are assimilated into contemporary American society but still value the emotional connection to their heritage.
One of the most fascinating case studies in recent years was Taco Bell's "Live Más" campaign. The genius behind Taco Bell's slogan is that it managed to connect with Latinos but not at the expense of other Americans. The use of Spanish is neither meant to pander to Hispanics, nor is it designed to disinvite "White" America from connecting with the brand. Doritos Locos tacos are a similarly brilliant fusion- there is nothing more mainstream than Doritos, yet the name also invites Latinos to feel excited about the product in a genuine way. America's demographics are not-so-subtly shifting, requiring brands to throw out a wider net.
Inclusivity is the name of the game for Hispanic outreach in 2016. None of the candidates possess natural ties with the Hispanic community, except for perhaps Marco Rubio. The language and messaging that Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton gives to Fusion's Jorge Ramos should be the same message they are saying on MSNBC or CNN.
I said earlier that Millennials are cynical, but isn't that just another word for savvy? When candidates start talking about #BlackLivesMatter and pooling together African-American endorsements because the upcoming primary is in South Carolina, they see through that.
With the Nevada caucuses, talking points were swapped out with conversations over immigration and paths to citizenship.
Bouncing back and forth and shifting your language to appease various groups may be politics 101, but it's not the right fit for millennials and America's changing demographics.
Candidates don't necessarily need two distinct communication strategies (one for Hispanics and one for "everyone else"). They only need one. Millennials of diverse backgrounds are not waiting for you to start speaking in Spanish to get their attention. They are already listening, but they want your stump speeches to sound like you're talking to diverse America, not a crowd in a diner in New Hampshire.

Living in Both Worlds: A Strength Athlete's Journey to the Marathon
Episode 1: "Misogi"
Bar Malik is a very busy man.
As a Director of Performance for a team in the National Basketball Association (NBA), Bar is responsible for developing and advancing each player through a combination of sports science, strength and conditioning, and nutrition. It's a non-stop job, interspersed year-round with professional development endeavors and ongoing education pursuits in order to remain at the top of his game. Add to that his own rigorous 5-day-a-week strength training program, and it's hard to believe Bar has time for anything else but sleep.
But Bar is full of surprises: he's running his first marathon, and he's doing it in 13 weeks. As an athlete who's already familiar with UCAN for his strength workouts, Bar will now be putting it to the test for endurance training.
Bar and team UCAN invite you along his journey to the unfamiliar world of endurance and experience the physical and mental transformations on his road to the marathon.
Q: What is your athletic background?
A: I've always been active in sports and played basketball, football, and baseball since I was 8 years old. While I was recruited by small colleges for basketball, I decided to not play for a school and instead focused on my studies. In college I began training seriously with weights and I fell in love with how my body responded to training with weights properly.
Q: What did you study in college?
A: I majored in Exercise Science in undergrad and Human Movement Science in graduate school.
Q: Until you decided to sign up for this marathon, what did your workouts typically look like?
A: My training consisted of 5 days per week integrating strength, stabilization, and power themes throughout the week. All total body push/pull regimes designed to optimize joint stability, core endurance, body pliability, and total body strength. I didn't do much cardiovascular training except for sprint work on higher intensity days twice per week. My body is Type 2, fast twitch so I succeed at shorter durations, quick bursts, and sprinting. Long distance running or longer bouts of aerobic work has never been a part of any program I have ever done.
Q: What inspired you to sign up for a marathon?
A: I signed up for a leadership course coached by Jesse Itzler, and my first assignment was to choose a Misogi experience. As described by the leadership course: "Misogi (ancient Japanese ritual)- do something so hard this year that it will change your entire year. Things that require you to change your life and prepare for all of the monumental changes that will happen for you in 2019." So, I knew a marathon was it for me. But I also knew that I needed to choose a date within the next 90 days to create a sense of urgency and discipline in my life.
Q: What are you most excited about?
A: I'm most excited about the process of running that I'll have to do to build up my cardiovascular endurance to successfully run a marathon. I still have a job and everything else in my life that requires my full attention and best self, so having to organize my life around a specific goal physically will be challenging but I'm excited about it. I also look forward to the people and connections I'll make through this commitment because the running world is HUGE!
Weeks to Oh Boy Marathon: 13
Weekly training program:
- 10K run assessment, completed in a little over 51 minutes
- Two smaller runs of 3 miles
- Four weight lifting sessions
- Two swim recovery sessions
- Foam rolling before and after all workouts
Biggest obstacle: Setting my pace for my runs. I haven't decided on a time for the marathon, so having to gauge my pace has been challenging. Currently I'm running a 7:45 mile, and I need to figure out how my body will respond to that pace over time as I increase mileage.
Pre and Post fueling: Pre-run I had UCAN and post I had mineral water and a plant-based protein shake. These are staples.
Scale of 1-10 (1= extremely easy, 10= maximal effort), rate how difficult your program was: 7. The running made me sore, but I'm only going to adapt to the stress so I'm not too concerned.
Biggest inspiration for workouts: Putting this on social media and letting my friends publicly see that I am going to do it. There's a level of accountability and pressure to do it if you let other people know about it.
A quote that helps you dig deep: "The road to greatness is long and boring. It requires a lot of discipline and self-sacrificing that most people aren't willing to do"- a quote from a speech by Ray Lewis. It reminds me of running this marathon, and I replay that quote in my head when I wake up earlier and do the extra reps in the gym.
Strength training tip that also applies to endurance: Regardless of the world you live in, preparation through nutrition is going to make or break your training. Hydration is key, try as much as possible to eat whole foods, consume protein post-training, lift weights to train the body to run (not run to prepare for the race), get 7-8 hours of sleep, use a foam roller morning and night.

Lovebird Tumbler
The lovebird design features a pale green and dark green lovebird with a red beak. The interior is a pale periwinkle blue color. The lovebird is accented with orange pods on the back. If you love birds, check out the chickadee and Hank the pigeon design.
The tumbler is great for glasses of water, wine, orange juice, cocktails or tea. Please note that it is thin so it will be very hot when first filled with hot liquid; however, by the time you can drink your tea, it will be cool enough to touch.
Microwave and dishwasher safe; although with handmade pieces, it is better to hand wash. Pieces are handmade and may vary somewhat from the picture.

Available on backorder

December marks our first birthday! Seems hard to believe we've already put together and sent out 12 different themed boxes of surprise beading goodness :o) To celebrate, we've commisioned 2 beads by wonderful polymer clay bead artist Jo Anne St James. We gave her our logo, and asked her to turn it into a focal bead, and she's done a great job (we're sure you'll agree!).
One of these beads will be hiding inside one of our monthly boxes in December. The other we're giving away in a draw. All you have to do is sign up to the competition using the box below, and then leave a comment on this blog post telling us your favourite bead colour combo.
If you have found this post through Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, it goes without saying that this contest is being run with no affiliation to any of the above companies, and they are not liable for anything relating to this contest.
Good luck!

- Step In the Right Direction

- Can I Be Enough
- Gone
- Shadow Boxing

Newton Faulkner has dependably been in an alliance of his own special inside of the vocalist musician group. Focusing on and using a special and widely acclaimed guitar expertise to it's fullest degree, Faulkner's work through 4 studio discharges has seen the ginger feared performer develop from a stripped back rising craftsman to a completely fledged standard genius who awes and pushes limits with each new discharge; presenting new levels of art and ability to each new record and he goes to demonstrate that his most recent studio collection is no exemption. With a 2 year hole between studio discharges, Faulkner gives back this month with collection number 5 – Human Love. The accumulation is effortlessly his finest work since his introduction collection, Handbuilt By Robots which when discharged set another benchmark for a type he has aced many times over on account of guitar powered singles including I Need Something, Gone In The Morning, Clouds, Over and Out and his mark standard staple, Dream Catch Me. One thing we saw after a starting listen to Human Love was what number of the 11 tracks that gel the record together can possibly be colossal singles for the artist. They are all over the place here and that must be an encouraging feeling for any performer going to discharge another record.

Repossessed (Warlock Repo Man Chronicles #1) by Shawntelle Madison
Tessa Dandridge is a witch and a supernatural matchmaker. Matchmaking is in her blood because this is what her grandmother did. Anyone who has tried to make it in N.Y. can tell you how tough it and being supernatural doesn't make it any easier. Tessa is in debt up to her eyeballs trying to keep her business afloat but she knows if she can just manage to hook one big client, she can save her business and be the success her grandmother always thought she would be.
Things take a turn for the worst Tessa when her Honda Civic is repossessed and along with it, the magical scroll which allows her to communicate with her clients. Determined to get it back, Tessa make a deal with company which repossessed her car, to allow her to pick into limbo and get her scroll back. Tessa quickly finds out that though her plan is a good one it comes with a many more complications than she can possibly imagine, chief amongst them the navy seal Rob Shin.
I chose to read this book because I am a huge fan of Shawnelle Madison, but that being said, this book did not work for me at all. I simply could not invest in the characters or Tessa's mission to get the scroll back. The world was not developed well and had I not had a background through reading the previous books in her Coveted Series, it would have felt completely slapped together without much thought.
Repossessed is very much as straight up romance novel in that the plot essentially would not exist without the building attraction between Rob and Tessa whereas; the same is not true for the coveted series. Tessa seemed to shamble from issue to issue with Rob being there to pull her butt out of the fire. She function much like a typical damsel in distress with nothing much to recommend her.
Tessa knows she needs her car back and her plan to expedite the situation by trying to slip into limbo makes sense but what does not make sense is that she never bothers to fill out the proper paperwork to go through the normal procedure. Who does that? This is especially true because it takes her a month to get into limbo and actually find her car? She knows that her aunt is sabotaging her business but she never once mentions this to her family. Why? Yes, there is pride in wanting to make it on your own but if you are being sabotaged and not fighting back, that is conceding and not being independent.

During the Tooele County Fair, while sitting at the county booth, I noticed a gentleman walk by. I asked him if he was registered to vote. He said no. When I asked if he would like to register, he said no. I asked how he could not want to vote, especially this year when we are electing the president of our country.
He said, "It doesn't make any difference."
Later that week, I was at the nail salon when one of the nail techs asked the owner if she could take her voter registration to the Clerk's Office because the nail tech had just become a citizen of the United States. Of course, I butted in and told her I'd be happy to take it for her. A conversation ensued about how excited she was to become a citizen, and how involved she wanted to be in her new country. She told me what a privilege it was to live here and she wanted to become a citizen so she could be a part of keeping it a wonderful country.
What a contrast.
What I would say to the first gentlemen is: You are so wrong. In a presentation that we take to the schools, we tell the kids about the history of voting and try to explain why we vote and why voting is so important. We tell them how important one vote is:
• In 1776, one vote gave America the English language instead of German
• In 1845, one vote made Texas our 28th state
• In 1923, one vote gave Adolf Hitler leadership of the Nazi Party
So does one vote make a difference?
You bet it does.
Why is it that the new citizen is so excited to be a part of our great country and the person who was born and raised here isn't? Do we take the privileges and freedoms we have for granted? It certainly gave me something to think about. I hope it does you too.
If you are not registered to vote, please go to www. co.tooele.ut.us/clerk.htm and click on the big "vote" button in the right-hand corner. The deadline to mail your voter registration forms into the Clerk's Office is Oct. 9. You may register online, if your voter registration information matches the information on your drivers license, or in person in the Clerk's Office until Oct. 22 at 5 p.m.
Marilyn Gillette is the Tooele County clerk.

About a month ago, I received an email from BlogHer asking me if I'd be interested in participating in a project called #WomensLives with She Knows Media and Public Radio International. I remember being so excited because the project seemed absolutely perfect for me and my blog, as it was described as being a journalistic venture relating specifically to women and feminist issues. I've mentioned the project briefly before, and have been sharing it on Twitter and Facebook, but I've yet to introduce it in a specific blog post. I couldn't think of a good way to introduce the project, since I already write about feminism so much in this space. What I realized though is that a lot of people might not understand the project or why I'm getting involved, and since there are so many reasons, that's what I want to share today.
Global Feminism
It's not secret that I'm a feminist or that the movement is one I enjoy talking about here. What is also clear though is that the posts I write are ones about issues that effect me personally. That only makes sense, because this is a lifestyle blog and the issues I'd know most intimately would of course be the ones I'm impacted by.
Something I love about #WomensLives though is that it opens my eyes to the need for feminism all over the world, and in every woman's life. Mary recently wrote an amazing post on why, despite believing in feminism, she doesn't identify as a feminist: it often fails to recognize or even listen to women of color. I love that in the short time I've been participating in this project so far, I've already been introduced to so many issues that I knew about but never paid much attention to, or that I simply didn't realize existed.
Feminist Community
I've written before about how much I love the community aspect of blogging, and Kelly and I started The F Word Link-Up in order to foster a community for feminist bloggers to share with and support one another. So it stands to reason that I'd believe one of the best parts of #WomensLives is the opportunity it provides to meet and interact with other feminist bloggers.
Aside from the obvious community built through the hashtag on social media, BlogHer has also fostered an amazing community through this project by building a private Facebook group for all participating members. Each day, I'm able to connect with women all over the world sharing their posts and other articles they've found about feminism in our world.
Together We Are Stronger
As much as I love (and will continue) writing about feminism on She is Fierce, it stands to reason that our voices are much louder as a group than they are as individuals. I write about feminism and the impact it stands to make because I want to make that impact. I want things to change, and for children 50 years from now to be shocked by the inequality impacting the world today.
As a group, as hundreds of women working together with She Knows Media, BlogHer, and Public Radio International, our voices are far more likely to be heard and listened to. That's why, above any other reason, I am proud to be a part of this community and this movement.

How Digitex Will Have the Edge for Retail Futures Trading
When Bitcoin futures trading first gained US regulatory approval at the end of 2017, the crowd went wild. At that time, Bitcoin was flying high, about to hit its all-time price spike of nearly $20,000. Since then, the price of Bitcoin has tanked. However, both the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) have continued to trade bitcoin futures over 2018 and achieved steady growth. But the futures market hasn't attracted the degree of institutional investment that seemed almost inevitable a year ago.
Now, as 2018 is drawing to a close, Nasdaq has just confirmed that it's also planning to launch Bitcoin futures trading early next year. According to quotes in the UK Express, which broke the news, the move by Nasdaq could be a "game changer" that delivers more stability to Bitcoin. Is this a prescient forecast, or just hot air?
Breaking it Down
When the CME and CBOE first obtained regulatory approval for trading of Bitcoin futures, many speculated that the approval would be a starting gun. Bitcoin would take off as institutional investors would move into the cryptocurrency markets and provide a launchpad for the SEC approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
While it's true that the launch of Bitcoin futures probably helped the price pump at the end of 2017, the rest hasn't really come true. The SEC-approved ETF is still as elusive as ever. Institutional investors remain cautious, although glimmers of hope sparkle as some institutions express bullish sentiments, even while the cryptocurrency markets are languishing in the doldrums of a sub-$4k Bitcoin.
Nevertheless, Bitcoin futures trading continues to show healthy growth, which is perhaps unsurprising given that futures provide one of the best means of shorting Bitcoin. CME reports its average daily volume of Bitcoin futures trades on a quarterly basis. Trading during the second quarter of 2018 saw a significant increase of 93% while in Q3 it rose 41%.
In Q3, Bitcoin futures average daily volume rose 41% and open interest was up 19% over Q2 . Learn how market participants are using BTC to manage risk in changing markets. https://t.co/Yt41SzsHku pic.twitter.com/Kw4OX0QaKT
— CMEGroup (@CMEGroup) October 17, 2018
What's Not Being Said
However, what's interesting about the Nasdaq announcement is as much what it isn't saying, as what it is saying. Recently, there's been a lot of excitement about the launch of Bakkt, a Bitcoin futures trading platform owned InterContinental Exchanges (ICE), which is also a parent company of the NYSE.
Bakkt isn't just a new entrant to the existing Bitcoin futures market. It will be introducing "physically settled" Bitcoin futures for the very first time. This is in contrast to CME and CBOE, both of which currently trade in cash-settled futures.
Nasdaq hasn't yet disclosed if it will be trading in cash or physically settled Bitcoin futures. This lack of information is most likely because regulatory approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is still outstanding, but the answer to this question could be interesting.
If Nasdaq does plan to launch physically settled futures around the same time as Bakkt, it will mean two heavyweights are bringing a new product to market simultaneously. The entry of two big names in the finance sector to the Bitcoin futures market will surely arouse the interest of institutional investors.
On the other hand, if Nasdaq plans to launch cash-settled futures, it will have competition for the retail futures trading market that's still the mainstay of Bitcoin futures trading, which will directly compete with CME and CBOE.
How Digitex Will Have the Edge for Retail Futures Trading
Our zero-fee model gives Digitex a unique appeal to retail investors over other futures exchanges. The DGTX token means our users don't pay any commission or fees for using the Digitex platform for retail futures trading. This is because we use our native token in the denomination of all profits, losses, margins and account balances on the Digitex platform. Only DGTX token holders can trade on Digitex, which creates a demand for the token and thus drives its value.
It's this value that allows us to offset any fees that exchanges usually charge. It means we can release a limited volume of new tokens each year, to replace revenues we would otherwise generate from charging fees. Decentralized voting by DGTX token owners will determine the number of new tokens released, meaning no external party can manipulate the price against the wishes of the token holders.
Using an exchange like CME or Nasdaq to store digital assets comes with the same security concerns as using centralized cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase or Bithumb.
Centralized exchanges are susceptible to hackers, as in the case of Mt.Gox, which lost $473 million to attackers in 2014. Not much seems to have changed in 2018, as crypto users lost $59 million in funds held by Japanese exchange Zaif as recently as September.
On the other hand, as a non-custodial exchange, Digitex doesn't hold traders' funds on our platform. The Digitex exchange provides real-time settlement of futures trades with the security of decentralized account balances.
Account balances are held by independent, decentralized smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. This provides an extraordinary level of assurance for our users. Even if regulators were to attempt a legal seizure, we have no means of giving access to anyone's account.
2019 - The Year of Bitcoin Futures
While Bitcoin futures have had a promising start in 2018, the entry of Bakkt and Nasdaq to the market, along with the retail futures trading innovations of Digitex could throw the markets wide open. Physically settled Bitcoin futures may finally lure institutional investment to the market, particularly if the SEC eventually approve that long-awaited Bitcoin ETF. Meanwhile, retail investors have every incentive to get stuck into Bitcoin futures with the promise of secure, zero-fee trading on Digitex.
