Cop who beat female bartender goes free
The videotape of an off-duty Chicago police officer beating up a female bartender half his size was seen on the internet around the world.
Now Anthony Abbate, 40, has been sentenced to two years probation and anger management classes for the attack on Karolina Obrycka.
Judge John Fleming also gave Abbate a home curfew of 8pm to 6am and ordered him to do 130 hours of community service.
Prosecutors and Ms Obrycka said they were disappointed with the sentence.
Her attorney, Terry Ekl, said he expected the lawsuit Ms Obrycka filed against Abbate and city to go to trial this year.
"No one in recent memory ... has done more to tarnish the reputation of the Chicago Police Department than Anthony Abbate," Cook County Assistant State's Attorney LuAnn Snow said.
Prosecutors had asked for prison for Abbate - he could have been sentenced to up to five years behind bars - but the judge said he didn't see aggravating factors to justify a prison term.
The judge said Abbate had a clean record before the incident, did not seriously injure the bartender, and underwent alcohol rehabilitation "and has not had a relapse".
"If I believed sentencing Anthony Abbate to prison would stop people from getting drunk and hitting people, I'd give him the maximum sentence," Fleming said.
Earlier this month, the judge rejected Abbate's claim he acted in self-defence and convicted him of aggravated battery.
A tavern security video shows a drunken Abbate punching and kicking Ms Obrycka as she tended the bar in February 2007.
The altercation happened after she refused to serve him more drinks.
The video received a lot of attention as it was seen as another example of misconduct by Chicago police.
Then-Superintendent Phil Cline suddenly announced his retirement shortly after the video surfaced and former FBI official Jody Weis was appointed to the spot with an order to clean up the department's image.
Abbate acknowledged during the trial that he was drunk during the incident. But he said Ms Obrycka pushed him first as she tried to remove him from behind the bar.
Ms Obrycka said during the hearing that she continues to suffer psychological wounds, often has nightmares and has trouble trusting people, including her husband.
Abbate declined comment as he walked out of the courtroom holding his girlfriend's hand.
"He's not a bad man, he did something bad," said his defence attorney, Peter Hickey. He characterised the incident as "one silly, stupid act".
Abbate has been relieved of his duties and pay, Chicago Police Department spokesman Officer Robert Perez said.
The department is looking into "separation proceedings", Mr Perez said. Mr Weis has said he wants Abbate fired.

Modelling infrastructure and expertise
Mathematical modelling has a proven capability of (i) connecting a comprehensive amount of empirical data into a functional whole, (ii) enforcing more explicit formulations of various hypotheses, (iii) increasing the prediction space of hypotheses, (iv) initiating and canalising experimental or empirical work by pointing out key questions and the type of data needed, (v) ensuring that models and 'ways of thinking' are consistent with fundamental principles of physics, chemistry, and biology, and (vi) functioning as highly efficient intellectual meeting places for various disciplines.
Modelling comes in many types, ranging from single-molecule stochastic modelling to organ level physiological modelling, and addressing some or all of the multiple dimensions of space, time, chemistry and the cellular control hierarchy. Resources enabling extensive use of multiscale approaches as well as a wide array of modelling formalisms across biological research have thus to be major features of a research infrastructure for systems biology. Extensive use of these resources will demand closure of existing communication gaps and a much more intense interplay between modelling and experimentation.
One of the most efficient mechanisms for achieving this is to build a pan-European infrastructure for modelling services that can be accessed by all European researchers in biology and biomedicine. Such a structure linking the theoretical and experimental communities on a massive scale would most likely cause a transformation of European biological research.
The aim of this WP is to provide the scientific and organisational foundation for a rapid and highly coordinated pan-European implementation of an extensive modelling service for academia and industry across all major disciplinary fields of biology through:
- The provision of showcases documenting the importance of modelling
- The identification of key resources for a pan-European modelling service
- Obtaining a pan-European consensus on how to organise a modelling service

In an effort to provide a packaged solution for Internet service providers (ISPs), Aradial Technologies joined hands with Runcom Technologies to develop a combined integrated solution, which is a full NOC (network operations center) solution that consists of several pre-packaged solutions that facilitate operators to provide reliable, competitive and quality services to their subscribers at affordable costs.
As a provider of AAA, billing, customer management and policy control solutions for IP service providers (including WiMAX, Wi-Fi, ADSL, LTE, VoIP, IPTV and mobile data), Aradial Technologies offers a high-end Radius server and convergent billing software called as Aradial . suite. It can be installed on small hardware, on Windows, Linux operating systems, and over a variety of databases.
Runcom Technologies is an OFDMA pioneer offering end-to-end WiMAX and 4G solutions. Some of its key offerings include base stations, ASN gateways, NOC and a variety of high-end terminals such as WiMAX Voice and Video Phones and handsets that comply with the IEEE802.16e-2009 standard for WiBro and Mobile WiMAX applications.
Apart from allowing service providers to deliver high quality broadband and VoIP services to their subscribers at low costs, the joint offering also provides: broadband and voice services to remote areas where traditional access is unavailable; enhanced Mobile 3G networks to offload their traffic to Wifi; and more.
In addition, the joint solution also facilitates in implementing scalable Wifi or ADSL networks and billing for them, as well as policy control for broadband providers, VSAT and Mobile using Runcom's advanced SG-1 PCRF and Aradial's PCRF.
The joint solution integrates Aradial's AAA, Billing and Policy Control for data services integrated with Runcom SG1 PCEF server (as ASN-GW or Wifi gateway or PPPoE). This integration provides a solution that manages the access from CPE's to base stations and prepaid and postpaid billing for charging the subscribers.
Ori Etkovitz, CEO for Aradial, said in a statement, "Runcom has the leading technology, which is scalable, easy to integrate and complete for serving WiMAX, LTE, Mobile 3G, Mobile 4G and WiFi and we feel that our joint solution is best suited to the needs of data service providers."
Etkovitz added, "The joint Wimax and internet services product supports bandwidth management, real-time network policy control and enforcement, all driven by our powerful AAA Enforcer and Aradial Convergent Billing. This breadth of functionality will further enable the operator to implement volume, time and expiration enforcement and to extend its current offering to current and future subscribers."
As stated in a press release, the complete NOC solution is already deployed at several providers in Europe, Africa, USA and APAC.
In recent news, MobilityTechzone had reported that AfriConnect Zambia has implemented the Aradial AAA and Policy Control solution to offer Wimax and future LTE services to the city of Lusaka and a number of other key cities in Zambia.

Tomorrow Whole Foods Market – Penticton is having a Taste Of Christmas. There will be an array of demos and Christmas goodies to try such as gluten-free cookies, coconut ice cream, coffee, teas, dairy free cheese, soups, chips, chocolate, apple cider and more.
(Following opinions are my own. Send all complaints directly to me… farmersdotter2 😉 )
…I think there should be stand alone adjectives for things that are gluten or dairy free. By definition bread has flour. As do Cookies. If its gluten free it is neither bread nor a cookie.
As good as gluten free may be lets just call them something else. Brick and cardboard are taken but I'm sure there are unattached descriptors out there. Send me your suggestions.
Likewise for dairy free cheese. Dairy equals cow. Moo. Cow equals milk. Milk equals cheese. Ergo dairy equals cheese. To say dairy free cheese is to say there is a total absence of cheese in this product. Plastic is taken. So is Margarine. Once again your suggestions are welcome.
Margarine. We need more descriptors like margarine. That way Gluten Free Bread and Dairy Free Cheese can be identified by one adjective. When you hear margarine you know what you are in for. You know for example it is not butter. You should know it is predominantly hydrogenated oil.
Most margarine contain hydrogenated oil. Not always a good thing. Margarine that does not contain hydrogenated oil are only less not a good thing. Butter in moderation or home made mayonnaise are possibly healthier and definitely better tasting choices than margarine. I am not a nutritionist. I know squat. So don't listen to me.
Any who, farmersdotter will be sampling her real bread and for the first time her Habanero Brittle at Whole Foods Market – Penticton. And yes, the Habanero Brittle is made with butter. And Pumpkin seeds or pepitas. The taste is fabulous with sweet heat and little risk for nut allergies.

Grays Harbor festival captures shorebirds' performance
Last month, when noting the number of bird festivals that take place during the year, the shorebird celebration on Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge was included. The end of April brings to mind this annual event. The shorebird migration peaks near the end of this month, and the celebration will take place April 27-29. When making plans to attend the festival or visit the coast to see the birds, the tides are always consulted.
It's a rare event when the highest high tides take place during the good viewing times — during the day! A rare 10-foot tide when there is daylight delivers the most exciting viewing. Hundreds of thousands of shorebirds try to elude the encroaching water and continue feeding. The result is very concentrated numbers. This can mean large flocks of shorebirds overhead or crowding onto any available bit of land not covered by the incoming tide.
The flocks put on an aerial performance once seen, never forgotten. They can whirl through the air as one body, turning from dark to light in moments as they flash backsides and then undersides. They rival New York's famous Rockettes with such precision flying. The theory for their fluid action suggests that each bird keys on the movements of the bird next to it. The result is one smooth wave.
Bowerman Basin, because it offers the last bit of tidal mudflats to be covered by high tide, is considered the best shorebird viewing area. Part of the Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge, the basin borders Bowerman Airport. It's easy to find. As you are leaving Hoquiam, heading north toward Ocean Shores, Hoquiam High School will be on your right. Opposite the school, you see signs directing you left to the airport and the Wildlife Refuge. If you attend the festival, on April 28 and 29, a shuttle bus to the viewing area runs continuously on Saturday and Sunday. It's available at the school. Parking near the airport is minimal and the bus is a good way to go. Other festival activities are happening at the high school.
The Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival Committee offers an excellent program brochure. It lists many colorful and informative events that are part of this celebration. You cannot only decide what field trips to attend, but there are maps of the area, photos of the birds that will be seen and information on places to eat or find lodging. Available online, this 20-page brochure covers it all. You can view it at www.shorebirdfestival.com.
Shorebird identification can be challenging unless you are able to spend time viewing them on a weekly basis. A little time with your field guide will enhance your visit to the coast to see this spectacle of nature. The large flocks that are so much fun to see are made up of the smaller shorebirds, like the Western sandpipers and dunlin. Other birds to look for will be the dowitchers, (don't try to separate the long-billed from the short-billed). Red knots are a prize to find in some of the flocks. Greater and lesser yellowlegs can also be expected. Whimbrels, curlews and godwits are always exciting to see. If you are familiar with our killdeer, make sure you aren't seeing a semi-palmated plover, a small look-a-like. Keep an eye out for the hunting falcons whenever a flock of shorebirds is in the air. Both the peregrine falcon and the merlin pursue what is favorite prey for them.
Don't forget the secret of the tides when planning a trip to view shorebirds – at the coast or on beaches closer to home. Arrive at the viewing area two hours before high tide. The water will bring the birds to you.

A RESIDENT who led a campaign to help protect his Midlands community against animal rights extremists today pleaded to grave robbers to return Gladys Hammond's remains to her family.
Peter Clamp, 52, from Newborough, a mile or so from Darley Oaks Farm, helped John and Christopher Hall apply unsuccessfully for an injunction stopping animal rights activists entering a 77-square mile exclusion zone around the farm.
The High Court judge said the proposed no-go area was too wide, but later banned named campaigners and animal rights organisations from going within 270 yards of the premises which was breeding guinea pigs for research .
An agreement was also reached about the time, frequency and number of protests that could be held outside the site entrance.
On Monday, Kerry Whitburn, 36, of Summer Road, Edgbaston, 39-year-old John Smith, of Leicester Street, Wolverhampton, and John Ablewhite, 36, of Hawley Street, Manchester, pleaded guilty to conspiring to blackmail David Hall and Partners and others connected to the farm between September 1999 and September 2005.
Yesterday, Josephine Mayo, 38, of Spring Bank Road, Edgbaston, pleaded guilty at Nottingham Crown Court to the same charge.
A judge has warned them they face lengthy jail sentences for their part in the long-running terror campaign which culminated in the theft of Gladys Hammond's body from her grave.
Mr Clamp, a surveyor who has lived in Newborough for more than 20 years, described the four guilty pleas as brilliant news.
The former parish councillor said: "I am pleased it's come to this but it still hasn't put a conclusion on the remains and where they are."
He called on those who knew where the body was to return it to the Hall family.
Asked to describe what effect the animal rights campaign had on the local community, Mr Clamp said: "I think the animal rights campaign fractured the community in places but brought the community closer together in the last two years when we started the legal action and people realised there were others out there trying to help them."

(Strictly speaking, the mapping isn't 1-to-1. U+2660 can't be encoded in iso-8859-1. You could also say that both U+00E9 and U+0065 U+0301 encode to E9 in iso-8859-1, although Encode's encode doesn't handle that.)

Chapter 4. Installing Container Development Kit on macOS
To prepare your macOS development system for running Container Development Kit, the steps are:
- Download and install VirtualBox.
- Download and install Vagrant.
- Download Red Hat Container Tools and the Container Development Kit Vagrant box for VirtualBox.
- Install additional Vagrant plugins to support Red Hat Subscription Management and other features.
4.1. Prerequisites for Installing Container Development Kit on macOS
To run Container Development Kit on a macOS system, you need:
- An Intel-based Mac with a minimum of 4 GB of RAM running a recent, 64-bit version of macOS, such as 10.11 (El Capitan) or later.
- A minimum of 3 GB of free disk space for virtual machine images. Note that during the setup process, you will need to be able to store multiple copies of each of the virtual machine images.
- Adequate Internet connectivity to download 1—2 GB of software.
- An available Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription with support or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite. Note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions with self-support do not have access to all of the necessary software for CDK in all environments.
4.2. Installing Software and Configuring the Host System
Vagrant is used to run a Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machine with all necessary components for the Container Development Environment. Virtualization is provided by installing VirtualBox.
Please note that Vagrant is strictly command-line oriented. All interaction with Vagrant is through the command line from a terminal prompt. Use Terminal.app from the Applications → Utilities folder or a terminal emulator of your choice for running Vagrant.
Command-line instructions use path names with a tilde, such as
~/cdk. This is a shorthand notation for a path relative to the current user's home directory,
4.2.1. Additional Software Requirements for macOS
In order to run Container Development Kit, some command-line development tools are needed on your Mac. Install either Apple Command Line Development Tools or Apple Xcode.
Download and install VirtualBox for macOS from http://www.virtualbox.org.Important
Container Development Kit 2.3 is known to not work correctly with VirtualBox 5.1.x. If you already have VirtualBox 5.1.x installed, downgrade your installation to VirtualBox 5.0.26.
Choose a location for storing VirtualBox VM images. By default, these are stored in subdirectory in your home directory (
~/VirtualBox VMs). You need several gigabytes of space wherever you choose to store these images. To change the location, start VirtualBox, go to VirtualBox → Preferences → General and change Default Machine Folder to the desired location. Documentation for VirtualBox can be found on the virtualbox.org website.
Download and install Vagrant from https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/. Select the folder with the 1.8.1 release and download the Vagrant installation file in the
.dmgformat (
vagrant_1.8.1.dmg). The 1.7.4 version of Vagrant is also supported for use with Red Hat Container Development Kit 2.3.
The default is to install Vagrant in the
/opt/vagrantdirectory. You can change this. The Vagrant installer creates a
/usr/bin/vagrantsymbolic link that points to
/opt/vagrant/bin/vagrant, so no adjustments to the
PATHenvironment variable are necessary.
4.3. Setting Up Container Development Kit Software Components
Download the Container Development Kit software components from the Red Hat Product Downloads web site. You must log in to get access to this page. If you are on the right page, you should see "Product Variant: Red Hat Container Development Kit". You need to download the following items:
- Red Hat Container Tools
RHEL 7.3 Vagrant box for VirtualBoxNote
The page also offers Vagrant box downloads formatted for other virtualization platforms, such as libvirt. You only need to download the box image that matches the virtualization you are using — VirtualBox.
The following steps assume you have saved these files in your home directory in
~/Downloads. If you used a different directory, adjust the paths accordingly. You need several gigabytes of free space for the Vagrant box images.
All of the remaining steps need to be performed using the command-line using the Terminal Application (Terminal.app). You can find Terminal.app in the Application → Utilities Folder.
Unzip the ZIP file you downloaded. This should create the
$ cd $ unzip ~/Downloads/cdk-2.3.0.zip
Install the
vagrant-service-manager, and
vagrant-sshfsplugins (the plugins in the form of
.gemfiles are included in the ZIP file).
The installation of the first plugin may take several minutes, and Vagrant may install some additional gem files as needed.
$ cd ~/cdk/plugins $ ls -1 *.gem $ vagrant plugin install \ ./vagrant-registration-*.gem \ ./vagrant-service-manager-*.gem \ ./vagrant-sshfs-*.gem
Verify the plugins are installed by running the following command:
$ vagrant plugin list
Add the Container Development Kit box to Vagrant. This is the configured virtual machine image that you downloaded in one of the previous steps.
$ vagrant box add --name cdkv2 ~/Downloads/rhel-cdk-kubernetes-7.2*.x86_64.vagrant-virtualbox.boxImportant
The name you assign to the box using the
--nameparameter in this step must correspond to the name used by the Vagrantfile used to initialize the box. By default, this is
cdkv2for the Vagrantfiles provided with Container Development Kit.
To use a customized name for the box:
Export the desired name to the
BOXenvironment variable
$ export BOX=<box-name>
Use the name in the
vagrant box addcommand:
$ vagrant box add --name <box-name> \ rhel-cdk-kubernetes-7.2-*.x86_64.vagrant-virtualbox.box
Verify that the box is installed:
$ vagrant box list cdkv2 (virtualbox, 0)
The box image file will be stored in your home directory under
~/.vagrant.d. You need adequate space there, approximately 2 GB.
4.4. Setting Up Container Development Kit for Use behind an HTTP Proxy
To run the Container Development Environment behind a proxy server, you need to export the proxy server information to the Container Development Environment and then run
vagrant up (see Starting the Container Development Kit Vagrant Box on macOS).
Currently, only HTTP and HTTPS proxy servers are supported.
4.4.1. Setting Proxy Environment Variables Manually
Run the following commands on the host system to export environment variables with information about the proxy server. This setting only remains in effect until you restart your session:
$ export PROXY="<proxy-server>:<port>" $ export PROXY_USER="<username>" $ export PROXY_PASSWORD="<password>"
4.4.2. Using vagrant-service-manager to Set Proxy Environment Variables
To automatically export information about the proxy configuration to every Vagrant box that you start, use the
vagrant-service-manager plugin. The following steps need to be completed:
Include the following lines in your per-user Vagrantfile (
~/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile— note that you may need to create this file):
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config| config.servicemanager.proxy = '<proxy server>:<port>' config.servicemanager.proxy_user = '<proxy username>' config.servicemanager.proxy_password = '<proxy password>' end
Remove proxy-related configuration lines from the Container Development Kit Vagrantfile you intend to use.
To use the OpenShift Container Platform configuration, remove the following lines from the
rhel-oseVagrantfile (
# explicitly enable and start OpenShift config.vm.provision "shell", run: "always", inline: <<-SHELL PROXY=#{PROXY} PROXY_USER=#{PROXY_USER} PROXY_PASSWORD=#{PROXY_PASSWORD} IMAGE_TAG=#{IMAGE_TAG} /usr/bin/sccli openshift SHELL
And modify the following line to include the service your Vagrantfile needs to start (
# prevent the automatic start of openshift via service-manager by just enabling Docker config.servicemanager.services = "docker, openshift"
To use the Kubernetes configuration, remove the following lines from the
rhel-k8s-singlenode-setupVagrantfile (
# Explicitly enable and start kubernetes config.vm.provision "shell", run: "always", inline: <<-SHELL PROXY=#{PROXY} PROXY_USER=#{PROXY_USER} PROXY_PASSWORD=#{PROXY_PASSWORD} /usr/bin/sccli kubernetes echo "kubernetes single node cluster setup successfully" SHELL
And modify the following line to include the service your Vagrantfile needs to start (
# prevent the automatic start of openshift via service-manager by just enabling Docker config.servicemanager.services = "docker, kubernetes"
4.5. Starting the Container Development Kit Vagrant Box on macOS
Container Development Kit offers two Vagrantfiles for initializing the Container Development Environment with different services:
OpenShift (
rhel-ose): Use the OpenShift Vagrantfile to launch a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server virtual machine (VM) with OpenShift Container Platform running in it. With OpenShift running, you can use either the web user interface from a web browser on your desktop, or
oc, and related commands by logging into the VM.
Kubernetes (
rhel-k8s-singlenode-setup): Use the Kubernetes Vagrantfile to start a more generic Container Development Kit VM. Because OpenShift is not running, you can configure a more basic Kubernetes configuration or use Docker directly.
You can modify the existing Vagrantfiles for your own purposes. For example, you might want to use a different IP address if it conflicts with an address on your local network.
Initialize the Container Development Kit Vagrant box:
Start Container Development Kit with OpenShift Container Platform as follows:
$ cd ~/cdk/components/rhel/rhel-ose/ $ vagrant up
To use a different version of OpenShift Container Platform than the default (v184.108.40.206), edit the
IMAGE_TAGparameter in the
rhel-oseVagrantfile before running
vagrant up. You can find the list of supported version tags at https://registry.access.redhat.com/v1/repositories/openshift3/ose/tags.
For example:
Start Container Development Kit with single-node Kubernetes as follows:
$ cd ~/cdk/components/rhel/misc/rhel-k8s-singlenode-setup/ $ vagrant up
Enter the username and password you use with the Red Hat Customer Portal to register the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system running in the Vagrant box:
==> default: Registering box with vagrant-registration… default: Would you like to register the system now (default: yes)? [y|n] y default: Subscriber username: <username> default: Subscriber password:
Check whether your Vagrant box is running using the
vagrant statuscommand. Note that you must be in the same directory where your Vagrantfile is located. For example:
$ cd ~/cdk/components/rhel/rhel-ose/ $ vagrant status
If the machine state shows as running, you are ready to start using your Container Development Environment.
4.6. Additional Resources
The Container Development Kit Getting Started Guide provides information on:
- using installed Vagrant plugins
- interacting with Vagrant boxes
- starting with container development
- using Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift Container Platform

15 Of The Coolest Art Installations You Will Ever See
It is true that art can be depicted in a number of different ways, and what one person sees in a piece of art is often different than what someone else sees. The great thing is that it allows you to create your own story, to draw your own conclusions and to put your own meaning to it. Art often depicts life and when you have a life filled with ups and downs and everything in between, the work that results from that can be truly mind blowing. Here are 15 impressive art installations that will stretch your imagination.
Head On – Cai Guo-Qiang
In 2006, Cai Guo-Qiang's dramatic installation featured 99 life-sized stuffed wolves inside a glass wall. The artist was inspired by Berlin and its history, but according to Cai he really wanted to "portray the universal human tragedy resulting from this blind urge to press forward, the way we try to attain our goals without compromise."
In Silence – Chiharu Shiota
Chiharu's exhibition in 2008 was meant to evoke the artist's own personal childhood traumas. The installation featured a dense web of black thread encasing old chairs and a burnt piano.
I Fly Like Paper – Dawn Ng
This incredible art installation involves thousands of paper planes bursting through a small window, and into a massive indoor exhibition space.
The installation is meant to represent the artist's feeling of homesickness, and the planes symbolize a wave of emotion rushing in all at once.

I am an independent "flashpacker" traveler from Europe. One of my ambitions is to travel all European countries. I particularly like traveling in Eastern Europe: it is so exotic yet close at the same time, both in kilometers and in culture. I also traveled extensively in the Far East, especially since a severe skiing accident forced me to look for other destinations in the winter time.
Another hobby of mine is to travel by train. Trains are a nice way to get in touch with the local population, and usually they are reasonably comfortable (although I am 6'5" which is a problem in most sleeping cars).
As a typical "flashpacker", I prefer cheap hotels. They are often amazingly good. Expensive hotels remind me of business hotels, of work rather than holiday. Still I avoid youth hostels where I do not have a private room - because everyone gets up at a different time, and the more people there are in a room, the more likely it is that one is snoring loudly.

Inventions and inventors come together in different ways, and ideas for an invention appear in various ways. Sometimes there is a flash of inspiration and the idea pops into the inventor's brain. Work follows and perfects the idea. Thomas Edison said the invention process was 99 percent perspiration, and one percent inspiration. Perspiration was the process Edison used to make the light bulb.
Basic Research
The only purpose of basic research is to advance knowledge. Basic research is research that discovers information that has no apparent use at the time of its discovery. Sometimes this information makes a later invention work. Basic research provides raw material for inventors, and they may use the experiments of an earlier scientist. This may be something interesting that no one saw a use for until the inventor used it. Seeing an invention from different perspectives gives different uses. The Jacquard loom, invented in 1801, is the basis for early computers. Inventions and inventors find their ideas in various places and ways.
Edison used an invention factory and employed people to investigate and experiment to invent something. His factory included a machine shop and equipment to make ideas into reality.
AT&T Bell Labs was a research program started by Alexander Graham Bell in 1893. The lab employed scientists to do basic research. Their research and findings resulted in several Nobel prizes, inventions and the improvement of existing products. AT&T discontinued the labs in 2008.
Television Programs on Inventions and Inventors
During the '70's there were two television programs about ideas for invention that embraced knowledge, advancement, and inventions and inventors. The first was The Ascent of Man with Jacob Bronowski as writer and host. The second was Connections, with James Burke. Bronowski was a scientist and presented The Ascent of Man such that man's knowledge moved forward in a straight line based on previous knowledge. Burke is a British journalist that covered the American space program. Burke's program,Connections,started each episode in the past with an innovation and followed its evolution and progress forward to a completely different product in the present. Burke's concept was more like a tree. There were points in the products development where it could have jumped to several different inventions. Burke had several editions of the program and wrote Connections articles in the Scientific American magazine for several years.
In the May 26, 2011 issue of the New Yorker magazine, Malcolm Gladwell's article; Creation Myth: Xerox PARC, Apple and the Truth About Innovation discusses inventions and their inventors, and how to make inventions. He tells the famous story of the Steve Jobs visit to Xerox. Jobs saw how the mouse controlled the Xerox computer; he realizes this should be the computers future. Xerox's mouse was clunky and cost 500 dollars. Jobs wanted one that worked better and cost fifteen dollars. Gladwell's view is that the mouse wasn't really invented until Jobs embraced and perfected it. He points out most inventions are invented and modified several times before the concept becomes well known and used.
The editor of the Xerox PARC blog responded to Gladwell's article. He pointed out that Xerox invented the mouse for a personal computer. Jobs idea for the device was that it could be used for a popular computer. He also points out that putting constraints on an invention is good for innovation. In this case, a fifteen dollar limit on the mouse.
Studying inventions and inventors can be a lively and exciting endeavor. Often the works of inventors are the arena of lawsuits and patent squabbles. It can be the cooperation between individuals such as the telegraph or periodic table invention, or one inventor borrowing or stealing an idea from another.

IPOB is not a terrorist group – Ooni of Ife
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has hailed the Ooni of Ife's stance, that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is not a terrorist organization.
In a tweet on Saturday, Fani-Kayode said he was "proud" of Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
"One of the most revered traditional rulers in Yorubaland told the FG that IPOB is NOT a terrorist organisation. COURAGE! Proud of him," he wrote.
Oba Ogunwusi has disapproved of the declaration made by South East Governors that IPOB are terrorists.
The Monarch says members of the group should not be seen as terrorists because they are only seeking justice and equity.
He made the remark on Friday, when he paid a courtesy visit to Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu.

My latest article for the Walt Disney Family Museum takes us back to 1941, when Walt and his "grupo" toured South America, and changed the world for the better in the process.
This summer marks the 75th anniversary of Walt Disney and his hand-picked team's "goodwill tour" of South America. The U.S. government was hoping Walt's presence would help to quell budding Nazi sympathy, while Walt was eager to gather material for future films. By Walt being Walt, he managed to do both.

Now in it's 8th year, Fantastic Planet is Sydney, Australia's premier fantastic genre film festival, and remains dedicated to the promotion and exhibition of independent fantastic cinema.
Founded by the team behind Australia's leading horror film event - A Night of Horror International Film Festival - Fantastic Planet showcases the latest in science fiction, fantasy, horror, thriller and cult cinema, and hosts a number of parties, forums, and special events.
Unlike many festivals, Fantastic Planet pledges to program the majority of its lineup from cold submissions (i.e. films submitted by you - the independent filmmaker - through our open submission process). We never have, and never will, program the majority of the festival's line-up with films sourced from sales agents, distributors, or other festivals. This helps ensure that you - the independent submitting filmmaker - have a far better chance of screening at Fantastic Planet: Sydney Sci-Fi & Fantasy Film Festival, than at many festivals that also accept cold submissions, but them turn around and program the majority of their line-up each year from films that they source from elsewhere.
In 2017, Fantastic Planet Film Festival will again be taking place in conjunction with A Night of Horror Film Festival. Together the festivals provide Australia's leading showcase of independent genre specific cinema. Combined, the fests screened over 100 films in 2016. Both festivals retain independent programs and their own specific award categories. The festival prides itself in presenting the work of independent filmmakers not only to enthusiastic audiences but also to media and leading industry professionals.
FilmInk Magazine says: "A Night of Horror and Fantastic Planet team up... to bring genre buffs and film fans a fistful of the most original, innovative and thrilling independent pics you'll see all year."
Past juries of the festival have included:
Antony I. Ginnane (SPAA, IFM World Releasing)
Brian Trenchard-Smith (Director: BMX Bandits, The Man From Hong Kong, Turkey Shoot)
Simon Foster (Sunday Night at the Movies, 2UE, SBS)
Oscar Hillerstrom (SCI FI channel)
Jon Hewitt (Director: Acolytes, Darklovestory, Redball)
Jack Sargeant (Film Writer, Programmer: Revelation Perth International Film Festival)
Claire Absolum (Producer: Insight, SBS TV)
Steven Kastrissios (Director/writer: The Horseman)
Doug Turner (Director/writer: I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer)
Filmmaker Feedback:
Nicholas Costa (Neil Stryker and the Tyrant of Time): "If you are looking for a great opportunity to find your sci-fi audience, look no further. The best decision we made during our entire festival campaign was having the international premiere of our film, Neil Stryker and the Tyrant of Time, at Fantastic Planet Film Festival in Sydney, Australia. As a producer, FPFF is exactly what you're looking for in a film festival. Not only was the festival Director Dean Bertram a wonderful, gracious, and accommodating host, but he and his team continued to push and support our film long after the festival shut its doors for the season. More to the point, Dean Bertram was instrumental in helping us lock down international distribution shortly after our Fantastic Planet screening. As a result, we are now officially on our way to the world stage!"
Kevin A. McCarthy (Fury: The Tales of Ronan Pierce) - "I can't say enough great things about Sydney Australia's "A Night of Horror/Fantastic Planet International Film Festival". Set in the heart of the bohemian village area of Newtown (Sydney), this festival has it all; filmmakers and actors presenting their bad-ass genre films, a beautiful venue, awesome parties, tons of new lifelong industry connections, and a festival staff that truly cares about hospitality. Unlike many other festivals that simply source their program from other festival lineups, "A Night of Horror/Fantastic Planet International Film Festival" truly wishes to unearth new talent. They are constantly looking for undiscovered films from around the planet, and I know for sure that they watch all the bundles of submissions that come their way. In fact, they relish the idea of finding undiscovered films worthy of a world premiere. I know this to be true because they gave our crazy little film a chance when it seemed no one else would. It has opened all the right doors for our film, and I owe a major thanks to Dean Bertram and his wonderful staff for giving us the opportunity to world premiere our film at his kick-ass festival in Sydney. Seriously...can't freaking wait to go back!!"
Kurando Mitsutake (Samurai Avenger: The Blind Wolf / Gun Woman) - "Fantastic Planet: Sydney Science Fiction & Fantasy Film Festival is destined to become one of the most important genre film festivals in the world. The festival directors' vision, selections, and commitment to launch independent filmmakers' careers are immensely impressive. Their love and conviction for the genre picture is so real. This festival was the best film festival I've ever attended. Fantastic Planet rocks!"
Megan Riakos (Crushed) - "It was such a pleasure to screen my mystery thriller feature CRUSHED at the Fantastic Planet Film Festival. Dean Bertram and the festival team make it their duty to go above and beyond to program interesting and worthy films, covering an array of styles within the genre world. They take the lead in discovering rising talent rather than just following the trends and are genre lovers who draw passionate audiences to the festival. Fantastic Planet brings the party from the cinema to the events afterwards too and as a filmmaker, being able to meet audience members and socialise with them during festival is the cherry on the top. Nothing beats a passionate discussion about films and filmmaking at 2am in the morning!"
Nathan Christoffel and Adrian Kristofferson (Eraser Children) - "We're so stoked with the entire experience at Fantastic Planet - you guys put in so much work and it all payed off with a fantastic festival. Having Eraser Children for the opening night film was a big deal for us - it reassured us that there's a audience that will get behind our film in this country. We are extremely impressed with how much time and energy your team gave to us and other filmmakers, everything ran so smoothly from start to finish - Dean and Lisa are the perfect festival directors! We're both really looking forward to seeing you again, next year's festival will no doubt be something to behold!"
James Naylor (A Dark Matter) - "Fantastic Planet Film Festival along with Dr. Dean Bertram and his crew soared beyond my expectations. The Dendy is a fantastic venue with a fantastic staff. Sydney is a city full of life that craves fantastic film. The screenings were well attended and the Q&A was professional and well thought out. I have nothing but applause for this growing festival I was so lucky to be part of. A DARK MATTER will be remembered because of Fantastic Planet!"
Steven Christopher Wallace (Vengeance De Los Muertos) - "Out of towners being treated well on the festival circuit is generally the norm, however Fantastic Planet really sets the gold standard when it comes to hospitality. From the moment I set foot in Sydney I felt like one of the family. Dean introduced me to all the staff and I felt right at home. Not only that, they had a killer programme and the after parties were really great too. Finally, I've made numerous relationships I expect to collaborate with in the near future. Fantastic Planet has been a wonderful experience and I cannot begin to express my gratitude. They get my highest recommendation."
Nay Htat (The Drawing) - "Fantastic Planet Film Festival is a marvel! I had an amazing experience at the festival, and I was very honoured to be part of it. It is so huge and very well organized with excellent programming. And very welcoming and supportive to the filmmakers. So I personally think that it is one of the best filmmaker friendly festivals. I definitely look forward to entering my next film."
Lucas Till (All Superheroes Must Die) - "A festival rife with talent, paralleled only by its hosts' hospitality."
Jason Trost (Wet and Reckless) - "A two week long vacation into the insanity of film with the world's best host as your tour guide.

A scene from 'The Fallen,' a play by Yasmine Beverly Rana.
(T. Schreiber Studio)
NEW YORK — The Bosnian War hasn't stayed in the memories of many Americans, if it was ever there to begin with.
So what is the draw for attendees of "The Fallen," Yasmine Beverly Rana's play about six survivors of the war?
"It's not just a discussion on the politics and history," the Teaneck resident and Paramus High School ESL teacher said. "It's about the characters who are the victims and also the perpetrators."
The Bosnian War was marked by the use of systematic rape. Some estimates place the number of women raped at around 35,000.
Rana heard the stories of the victims first-hand in 2000 when she to the area as an ESL teacher and drama therapist. People would talk to her about the war without even being asked, Rana said.
"I think they needed to be heard," she said.
Rana started working on "The Fallen" five years ago. The play developed as she added characters, locations and time periods—the story covers 28 years.
Each scene seems like a vignette, but they're all connected, as are the characters, Rana said.
The play has drawn attention from as high up as the United Nations. Ivan Šimonović, United Nations Assistant Secretary General for Human Rights and former Croatian Minister of Justice, attended a July 5 performance and spoke to Rana, the cast and creative team afterward.
"It was very interesting to discuss the topics of the play, the region and overall global human rights issues," Rana said.
"The Fallen" plays at the T. Schreiber Studio and Theatre through July 28. Rana, director Terry Schreiber and some of the cast members will hold a question-and-answer session after Sunday's performance. For tickets, visit the T. Schreiber website.
Rana is also working on a play about the Arab Spring called "Another Spring," as part of the NJ Emerging Women Playwrights Project at the Playwrights Theatre in Madison.

Dummet said of the supposed pseudo-Egyptian symbolism of the Moon Dogs:mikeh wrote: ↑17 Dec 2017, 01:39In the story of Isis as related by Diodorus, she is led to the various burying places of the parts of Osiris by dogs. Presumably that would be at night, since Seth's men would be on the lookout for her by day.
Isis in the Roman period was herself identified with the moon, and Osiris with the sun. In this regard dogs also had a guiding function, in keeping both the sun and the moon from straying too far north or south at the solstices. Clement of Alexandria, who by living in Alexandria would be "of Egypt", Greco-Egyptian, says: (http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/02105.htm, find "dogs"):We owe this reference to de Gebelin, who said:And some will have it that by the dogs are meant the tropics, which guard and watch the sun's passage to the south and north.But a familiarity with Clement may be presumed long before de Gebelin.Clement, himself was Egyptian, since he was of Alexandria and who consequently knew what he was talking about, assures us in his Tapestries that the Egyptians represented the Tropics under the figure of two dogs, which, similar to gatekeepers or faithful guards, kept the Sun and the Moon from going to the Poles.
"The crayfish on the Moon card is found in the Milanese prototype, but the dogs are not; to my mind, the idea of dogs baying the moon is so commonplace that no resort to arcane pseudo-Egyptian symbolism, such as Dame Frances suggests, is needed to explain their presence."

The Promise of a Near-Miss
A critical step in the design of any clinical trial is picking the right primary endpoint, the result that will usually make or break the study. That's more difficult than it sounds – one's hope is to cure a disease or relieve a patient's symptoms, but choosing the best specific measure for those goals is something of a guessing game. Further, the process can be made even more difficult for diseases that do not have a long history of clinical research and thus no established endpoints.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an unexplained and very serious scarring of the lung tissue, is one such disease. Because of the extremely poor prognosis for patients with IPF, where most patients die within five years of symptoms first appearing, no large-scale clinical trials were tried until 1999, said Imre Noth, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Even today, some groups of IPF patients are still left out of clinical trials.
"The area that has been neglected by far and away are the severe patients," Noth said. "The rationale beyond most biologics that have been looked at is you need to start early to make an impact."
But the results of a promising clinical trial of a new treatment for severe IPF patients was published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine. The bad news? The primary outcome chosen for the study – improvement in a patient's walking distance during a 6-minute test – failed to improve in the group treated with drug. Nevertheless, the trial was greeted with an optimism unusual for the IPF field, Noth said, thanks to a silver lining of secondary successes and promising near-misses.
"This has been a very frustrating disease for pulmonologists," said Noth, a member of the Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Clinical Research Network, which designed and administered the trial. "The sense is, 'Finally something we can give to our patients,' because at least you can make them feel better, which is a great first step."
The drug itself is an interesting story. Called sildenafil, it has already been marketed by Pfizer under the name Revatio as a treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension. But most readers probably know sildenafil by its other commercial name: Viagra. The drug's more famous use was actually an unintentional side effect, as it was originally developed to be a hypertension treatment. Trying sildenafil for IPF is going back to those primary intentions, capitalizing upon the drug's ability to improve blood supply to the lungs.
For IPF, which Noth described as feeling like trying to breathe with a tightly-bound chest, a vasodilator such as sildenafil could potentially relieve symptoms and slow disease progression. Even a small effect would be huge for a disease that has no established, proven treatment other than lung transplant.
"Our only assignment was to make a difference," Noth said. "In this population, our goals are different. If we can increase life by two weeks, I get a patient to a lung transplantion, which is a life-altering exercise. Two weeks is actually a massive difference."
The 6-minute walk test was chosen as the primary endpoint, based on preliminary data from a small, pilot study. Unfortunately, over the course of a larger, 24-week IPF trial, no significant difference was found between drug and placebo on walking distance: 9 of 89 sildenafil group patients improved compared to 6 of 91 placebo group patients.
But other measures of drug activity were far more encouraging. Three different surveys revealed a significant improvement in quality of life for the drug-treated patients, and several measures of pulmonary function stabilized in the sildenafil group instead of continuing to decline. Most promisingly, a mortality difference just missed significance after 28 weeks – 4 sildenafil-treated patients died compared to 11 placebo-treated patients.
"The study was not powered for sensing a mortality difference, it was too small and too short," Noth said. "But one has to raise an eyebrow and say, wait a minute – we're not just talking about quality of life here. When you have several secondary events all moving in concert, that's more likely to be a true effect."
The results were also exciting enough to inspire a follow-up trial that will try to move the mortality result from near-miss to success, Noth said. Whether the next trial is publicly funded or paid for by Pfizer – who would be delighted to find another use for one of their most successful drugs – Noth hopes that further investigation will start soon. That study would join two others currently in progress at the University of Chicago Medical Center and other sites, one testing the blood thinner Coumadin and another testing a combination of steroids and immunosuppression agents on the disease.
In the meantime, Noth said it was a relief to have some promising data at last for an unforgiving disease that doctors could do very little to treat.
"It was pretty darn good for a small, short study," Noth said, "and certainly more than enough to indicate we should be going after a longer study to really nail this down and be definitive about it. It offers hope."

EVGA GTX 580 FTW Hydro Copper 2 Review
Power Consumption and Temps
Before bringing this article to a close, we'd like to cover a few final data points--namely power consumption and temps. Throughout all of our benchmarking and testing, we monitored how much power our test system was consuming using a power meter. Our goal was to give you all an idea as to how much power each configuration used while idling and while under a heavy workload. Please keep in mind that we were testing total system power consumption at the outlet here, not just the power being drawn by the graphics cards alone.
We have good news and bad news here. The bad news should not come as a major surprise as the GTX 580 in its stock form is one power hungry video card. Our results show the overclocked EVGA HC FTW GTX 580 uses even more juice due to higher operating frequencies. But if you're considering this monster card, we can't image a few extra dollars on your electricity bill over the course of a year being a deal breaker.
The biggest advantage a water-cooled video card has over its competition is operating temperature. Of course, it commands a price premium and requires additional hardware to implement, but water cooled models will always operate at much lower temps than their air cooled siblings, when installed and setup properly. When looking at our results, keep in mind that every liquid cooling loop is different and ambient temperature is an important factor that affects operating levels of the card.
Here, we utilized Furmark to stress the cards and saw remarkable temps in both idle and load states. How so? With the exception of Gigabyte's HD 5870 SOC, the EVGA GTX 580 FTW HC2 ran cooler at full load than the rest of the cards in an idle state. In other words, the cooling performance of the Hydro Copper 2 waterblock is outstanding.

At the hundred year old Carnegie Library of Lawrenceville, about to stand on the stone steps in the searing 95 degree heat and deliver the following speech as part of an event kicking off a voter initiative to raise funds to keep the library going…
My husband moved to Lawrenceville after college because he had the blues. A guitar player from California, he'd attended shows at the Thunderbird and was drawn to the rough at the edges, smoky, bluesy urban scene that Pittsburgh, and specifically Lawrenceville, offered. I fell in love with him and left the deep blue ridges of North Carolina to join him. One of his first and most powerful persuasions to entice me to move was a trip through the Carnegie Main Library in the middle of the winter. He watched my eyes widen in wonder in the stacks and laughed.
Our first year as newlyweds was spent in classic poverty, living on love and little else. His meagre schoolteacher's paycheck (a career in blues having been set aside) was barely enough to pay the rent for our dingy loft above a bar with a thumping bass. We couldn't even afford to pay for the internet. Meanwhile I was struggling to adjust to a new city, married life, and the new baby on the way at the end of the year.
There were so many things that drew me to the Carnegie Library branch up the street. As a voracious reader, I needed constant piles of books to get through that year. The amazingly free internet access allowed me to pour out my thoughts to friends across the country, work on developing my career as a musician and dancer in Pittsburgh, learn about my new community, and research important information on a daily basis. The staff was gracious, friendly, and welcoming. Finally the building itself is an architectural gem and a delight to spend time in- high ceilings, marble floors, elegant scrollwork, hissing radiators billowing heat in the winter and fans creating cool breezes in the hot summer.
As the due date for our daughter drew closer, we spent a great deal of time deciding where to settle. We discovered that not only did Lawrenceville have a great music scene, it was full of young families, parks, a farmer's market, a local church, and groceries within walking distance. Finally, and crucially, it had this amazing library complete with huge beautiful children's room. The threatened closure of the library almost caused us to settle in another neighborhood. I couldn't imagine having a baby in the city without having a library within walking distance.
The library is open, and we are here almost every day that the library is open. My daughter, at 14 months, is pretty sure she is an employee. I check out books, order them from other branches, buy them from the sale rack, use the internet, take home dvds. My husband uses movies from the library in his teaching work and has worked his way through almost the entire Carnegie selection of martial arts books. Our baby attends storytime, baby yoga, and beams upon sight of the librarians, who take the time to walk with her hand in hand as they sort and stack the books. The library has helped me to settle into this city and into my life as a harpist, dancer, wife, and mother here. I cannot imagine our life in this city without this library- and I hope I won't have to in the future.

The path of your life JOURNEY is made more memorable and colorful by the cast of characters you encounter.
quote by: Grace Carlson, Sarasota, Florida
Many people in this world are followers, meaning they don't make their own decisions very often and they let themselves get bullied. I find this to be one of the main reasons people aren't happy in their own skin. "Paint Your Own Path" means making your own decisions for yourself and no one else.

As Volunteer Toronto's Training Coordinator, one of the questions I hear more than any other is "how do I recognize my volunteers?" With the United Nations International Volunteer Day fast approaching on December 5th, this is the perfect time to think about meaningful ways to thank your volunteers! We have a lot of resources and online courses on this topic, but volunteer needs and wants change all the time - the person best suited to know what kind of recognition your volunteers want is…you!
Let me break down what the research says first. In a recent survey from Volunteer Canada, we found that volunteers prefer, more than anything, to be told about the impact of their work. After that, they want to be thanked in-person, informally and prefer informal events over letters and formal events.
When organizations were asked what kind of recognition they like to give volunteers, they put thanking them informally at the top too, but follow that with letters and formal events. Based on this research, it looks like organizations and volunteers aren't on the same page when it comes to recognition!
We know recognizing volunteers helps them feel appreciated, valued and like integral members of your team, but the wrong recognition may send the wrong message. If you have lots of volunteers, you don't want to relegate your recognition to impersonal form letters.
So how do you recognize your volunteers in a meaningful way?
1. Get to know their motivations
People volunteer for many different reasons. Get to know why they're there and what keeps them returning. Maybe your volunteers are looking for more social interactions or to gain skills for their careers. Can you think of some recognition methods that could serve those motivations? For example, if they're looking for work, a reference letter would be a great form of recognition that matches their motivations!
2. Get to know their work
Even though you may have many volunteer roles that do a lot of different things, get an idea of what your volunteers are actually doing, and how that serves your mission, to make your recognition relevant. Don't just thank them for their work, thank them for the specific thing they did that day that made an impact!
3. Get to know their preferences
As the Volunteer Canada survey noted, it's important to recognize your volunteers in the way they prefer. Ask your volunteers what kind of recognition they'd appreciate, and do your best to cater to that. Maybe your annual banquet can be skipped in favour of a more meaningful means of recognition.
It's easy to informally recognize your volunteers every day in a meaningful way. Treat volunteers as team members and ask for their input. Ask your volunteers if they are satisfied, allow room for them to grow and make them aware of other volunteer contributions (and their impact). Most importantly – and probably most easily too – take the time to say thank you, especially on December 5, International Volunteer Day!

Tomboy is a graphic novel authored by Liz Prince, and published in 2015. It humorously, and very simply, illustrates the many struggles gender-nonconforming females experience growing up. While specific to Prince's own life, it is a fantastic representation of youth (and typical youth struggles – parents/family, developing friendships, romantic attraction, ideas surrounding sex) intertwined with the struggles of being a masculine presenting girl/young woman in a culture that is largely unaccepting of this type ("tomboys").
The novel opens with a scene of four year old Liz Prince in emotional disarray from the thought of having to wear a dress that her grandmother bought for her and ends with a humorous layout of her preferred display of masculinity. As she explains the recurrent theme of her own masculinity throughout childhood and young teenage years, along with the resulting emotional turmoil she experienced because of bullying and the general lack of acceptance from her peers, she continually breaks down her own evolving gender display with humorous commentary.
A particular struggle for Liz Prince was trying to date boys. A boy she admired and fell for was a boy every girl in her school dreamed of dating; he was a school heart-throb. She was not the typical feminine presenting girl – she presented as more masculine, wore men's clothes – and he rejected her because of it. This seemed to contribute to her struggle of general acceptance, understanding, and good-feelings of herself.
In An Introduction to Female Masculinity, Judith Halberstam asserts that displays/modes of female masculinity are perceived to be the rejected scraps of heroic and legitimate masculinity, in order to make legitimate masculinity legitimate – the right way to be masculine. It instead, according to Halberstam, is a window through which we can see how masculinity is constructed. When Liz Prince began realizing that she embodied a gender display that is not in line with traditional display for females (being feminine), she captures the emotion perfectly in a single page:
The second image on the page shows the pervasive idea that female masculinity does not equal legitimate masculinity because legitimate masculinity can be found only in males and this is the only way to have a legitimate masculine identity. In the first image, female masculinity also means not being legitimately female (female = co-occuring femininity under this logic), and the last illustration shows utter confusion – a sort of, "what am I?" crisis. If not considered – looking through the lens of the binary – to be truly feminine or truly masculine, where does that leave the gender non-conforming female/woman? It leaves them with no legitimate identity. Judith Halberstam points out that tomboyism is harshly punished (including attempts to "reorient" the individual) and seen as a real problem only when it continues into adolescence and adulthood. As Liz Prince grows up, her continuing tomboyism is more harshly punished by peers, and I believe that the partial results of this punishment of the tomboy individual is the emotion that can be seen in the image above. To quote Judith Halberstam, "Female adolescence represents the crisis of coming of age as a girl in a male-dominated society." Living within this male dominated society, it is possible to assert that whatever most legitimately masculine males perceive as attractive is the rule, and legitimately masculine males are not attracted to displays of masculinity – so not attracted to Liz Prince; I consider this to be one of the many forms of punishment. She felt this strongly and couldn't seem to figure out why she was never fully accepted throughout her childhood and young teenage years.
I like Tomboy because it illustrates in pictures, as well as words, the struggles of gender non-conforming females, but with the comfort of humor. Thinking of my own childhood, teenage, and adult experience as a tomboy, I can relate strongly to the experiences of Liz Prince, which made this a very enjoyable read for me.
-Towards the end of Tomboy, Liz Prince illustrates a time when she discovered the works of Ariel Schrag – another graphic novelist. I highly recommend reading Awkward and Definition, Potential, and Likewise if interested in a story about a masculine presenting woman's struggle with discovering her sexuality throughout high school…and if you're as enthralled with graphic novels as me.
Here is a pretty great illustration from Potential –

An Examination of Similes in the Iliad - and How Homer's Use of Them a
In the Iliad, Homer finds a great tool in the simile. Just by opening the book in a random place the reader is undoubtedly faced with one, or within a few pages. Homer seems to use everyday activities, at least for the audience, his fellow Greeks, in these similes nearly exclusively. When one is confronted with a situation that is familiar, one is more likely to put aside contemplating the topic and simply inject those known feelings. This would definitely be an effective tactic when used upon the people of Homer's day. From the heroic efforts in the Iliad itself it is clear that the populace of his time were highly emotional creatures, and higher brain activity seems to be in short, and in Odysseus' case, valuable, order.
It is also wise to remember that history is written by the winners. In the Iliad, there seems to be relatively little storyline from the Trojan's side. We are regaled with story upon story of the Greeks, their heroes, and their exploits, while the Trojan's are conspicuously quiet, sans Hector of course. It could almost be assumed that throughout time most of the knowledge of the battle from the Trojan side had been lost.
Considering the ability to affect feelings with similes, and the one-sided view of history, Homer could be using similes to guide the reader in the direction of his personal views, as happens with modern day political "spin". These views that Homer might be trying to get across might be trying to favor Troy. It could easily be imagined that throughout time, only great things were heard about the Greeks mettle in war, and that Homer is attempting to balance the scales a bit by romanticizing the Trojan peoples, especially Hector, and bringing to light the lesser-heard tales of Greek stupidity. Shortly into Book Two, Agamemnon gives the speech to his assembly about his plan to rally the troops with reverse psychology. Agamemnon shall announce he is giving up on taking Troy, whereupon the individual army captains will then "prevent their doing so." When the announcement is made, King Agamemnon is startled to see the ranks, not surprisingly, take advantage of the chance to leave and make for the ships with vigor. Homer describes the scene as "bees that sally from some hollow cave and flit in countless throng among the spring flowers, bunched in knots and clusters..." This simile is tainted with dark words like "from a hollow cave" and "bunched in knots", giving the "bees" an ominous tone. The Greek ranks are painted as a throng of weak-kneed wimps with their constitution sapped, obviously not the case as they go on to win the war, but it suffices to cast the Lycians in a negative light.
A short, but emotionally appealing, simile is found after the Greek warriors have changed their mind about leaving and return to the Scamander: "They stood as thick upon the flower-bespangled field as leaves that bloom in summer." This scene assumes quite a juxtaposition. A flower-bespangled battlefield? This is perhaps an attempt to show the absurdity of the Greek army, changing positions from fleeing to brazenness as flowers are to the field of death.
Near the beginning of Book Three a group of elders of Troy, not fighting material, but skilled orators, are found resting on the tower "like cicadas that chirrup delicately from the boughs of some high tree in a wood." The cicadas song and the "tree in a wood" cast memories of repose and relaxation, rest and peace, which are then injected into the "delicate" elders. Another attempt of Homer to cast the Trojans in a favorable light.
Later in the same book Ptolemaeus is Homer's vehicle for putting down the Greeks again. Upon seeing shirkers of the front line of battle he likens them to "frightened fawns who, when they can no longer scud over the plain huddle together." Undoubtedly, the men of Homer's time hunted...

Images of a "comfort turkey," a duck with shoes and a kangaroo on airline flights have all gone viral on the internet. So, too, did the photo of a pheasant at Newark airport and a story about Wally, an emotional support alligator.
Beyond that, who hasn't heard a story or two about people circumventing no-pet rules with therapists' letters bought online along with a cute little coats for their dogs emblazoned with "emotional support animal" or ESA.

Daphne Bramham: Before planes become Noah's ark, some regulation is needed Back to video
ESAs are not like service dogs. Service dogs are specially trained to do a wide range of tasks, such as providing assistance to people who are blind and acting as an early alert system to people with epilepsy.
The fact is there's no agreed-upon definition of emotional support animals, which is why there's a Noah's ark of animals queuing for flights alongside their people.
Westjet has felt it necessary to spell out on its website what animals are banned from flying in the passenger cabin. The list is both bizarre and strangely delightful (unless they were to show up in the seat next to me). It includes: animals with tusks, horns, or hoofs, amphibians, ferrets, goats, hedgehogs, reptiles, rodents, snakes, spiders and sugar gliders (a nocturnal gliding possum).
