Hillary Clinton has been embroiled at the center of an ever-growing scandal for several months now, and there has been more than a couple big scares for the Clinton campaign, but the latest tremors may be the most destructive yet.
While there have been many close calls for the Clinton campaign over the last year, the latest revelations may be the most damning yet. Over the last few days, several major stories have dropped shedding light on Clinton's crimes as Secretary of State. Each on its own would be embarrassing (as they each prove that Hillary lied at various times and in various ways), but taken altogether they paint a damning portrait of a craven liar and a crass criminal.
The first revelation was that Clinton ordered her subordinates to strip the classified markings from important data and send it through "unsecure" methods. Both commands – first, to strip the markings and then to send the data in an unsecure manner — are both in abject contradiction to federal law.
"One email thread from June 2011 appears to include Clinton telling her top adviser Jake Sullivan to send secure information through insecure means.

In response to Clinton's request for a set of since-redacted talking points, Sullivan writes, "They say they've had issues sending secure fax. They're working on it." Clinton responds "If they can't, turn into nonpaper [with] no identifying heading and send nonsecure.'"
The second piece of interesting news came when an email thread from Clinton proved that she knew full-well using a private email server was against federal regulations. Over the last year, Hillary Clinton has repeatedly told the media that what she did (in using the private email account) was completely routine and hardly inconsistent with regulations. However, her email communications tell us that she was well aware of her misdeeds.
Sullivan forwarded the e-mail on to Clinton several hours later. "Worth a read. This guy is very thoughtful," he wrote. "Who does he work for now?" Clinton asked. "Us," Sullivan wrote back.
"Is he in NEA [Near Eastern Affairs] currently? Or was he in Embassy? I was surprised that he used a personal e-mail account if he was at State," Clinton replied.
The third disclosure that is likely to shock the world was that Hillary Clinton and her team considered a secret plan to instigate a protest among the Palestinian people in an effort to force Israel back to the negotiating table with the Palestinian leadership. Yes, you read that correctly. Hillary Clinton and her staff actually toyed with the idea of instigating and supporting an uprising against one of our closest allies. (Does anyone actually wonder why things have gotten so bad in the Middle East during the Obama administration?)
In a Dec, 18, 2011, email, former U.S. ambassador to Israel Thomas Pickering suggested that Clinton consider a plan to restart then-stalled peace negotiations by kickstarting Palestinian demonstrations against Israel.
Pickering described the effort as a potential "game changer in the region," recommending that the United States undertake a clandestine campaign to generate unrest. Clinton requested that his email be printed.
But perhaps the most important, worrisome and damning email to be uncovered over the last week comes from Clinton's close confidant, Sidney Blumenthal. Somehow, Blumenthal, who no longer works in government or has any kind of special clearance, got his hands on explosive intelligence that not even the State Department had access to.
How did Mr. Blumenthal, who had no position in the U.S. government in 2011, and hasn't since Bill Clinton left the White House 15 years ago, possibly get his hands on such highly classified NSA reporting? Why did he place it an open, non-secure email to Hillary, who after all had plenty of legitimate access, as Secretary of State, to intelligence assessments from all our spy agencies? Moreover, how did the State Department think this was Unclassified and why did it release it to the public?
Again, each of these issues on their own would be embarrassing and perhaps even career-ending, but taken altogether – they should be down-right catastrophic. In fact, the Observer News summarizes the accumulated damage in stark terms.
This release of over 3,000 pages includes 66 "Unclassified" messages that the State Department subsequently determined actually were classified; however, all but one of those 66 were deemed Confidential, the lowest classification level, while one was found to be Secret, bringing the total of Secret messages discovered so far to seven. In all, 1,340 Hillary emails at State have been reassessed as classified.
Yep. 1,340 classified emails recovered so far… even though Hillary Clinton and her cronies keep telling us that nothing that ever crossed her email system was classified.
The fact that this criminal is the best that the Democrat Party can do in their search for a viable candidate for President is perhaps the saddest commentary on our nation's current political state that I could imagine. Sadly, this isn't fiction – it's our reality. The favored candidate from one of the two major parties is a pathological liar and a selfish, power hungry criminal.

Where Is Zinc Most Abundant?
Zinc's most well-known role is helping your immune system work at its best. This trace mineral also synthesizes protein, is vital to growth, controls components of your appetite and regulates dozens of enzymatic activities. You should have no problem meeting your daily zinc requirements -- it is abundant in many types of foods.
Many types of seafood are jam-packed with zinc. Oysters top the list, providing more than 76 milligrams from six medium wild raw oysters. Three ounces of steamed Alaska king crab offers nearly 6.5 milligrams, while the same amount of cooked blue crab meat has almost 3.6 milligrams. If you enjoy simmered lobster meat, you'll wind up with nearly 2.5 milligrams of zinc from a 3-ounce serving.
Beef and Chicken
Beef and chicken are rich in zinc, but you should opt for lean cuts to avoid going overboard on fat and calories. Three ounces of trimmed and braised beef chuck contains more than 7 milligrams of zinc, and the same amount of cooked 85 percent lean ground beef offers nearly 5.4 milligrams. Lean skinless chicken breast provides roughly .85 milligrams of zinc in a 3-ounce roasted serving.
Dairy foods are also rich in zinc. Enjoying a single-serving 8-ounce container of nonfat plain yogurt for breakfast sneaks 2.2 milligrams of zinc into your diet. Having a glass of skim milk offers more than 2 milligrams in 8 ounces. Cheese isn't all bad, as long as you opt for lower fat varieties; part-skim mozzarella provides around .9 milligrams of the mineral per ounce.
Alternative Sources
You'll also get zinc from plant-based foods. Many types of breakfast cereals provide a large portion of your daily value of zinc and sometimes offer extra. Nuts are a quick way to up your zinc levels. One ounce of cashews has 1.6 milligrams, the same serving of almonds offers 1 milligram and 1 ounce of peanuts provides .9 milligrams of zinc. You'll even get zinc from beans. Garbanzo beans, which are the primary ingredient in hummus, have 1.3 milligrams of zinc per one-half cup. Baked beans contain 1.8 milligrams in a one-half cup serving.
Required Amount
Men should aim for 11 milligrams of daily zinc, while women require 8 milligrams each day, notes the Linus Pauling Institute. During pregnancy, you'll need to get more -- 11 milligrams daily. If you nurse your baby after delivery, you'll need 12 milligrams of zinc per day. Multivitamin-mineral supplements are another way to get a little more zinc, however, it can be dangerous at doses above 40 milligrams per day. If you are taking an over-the-counter supplement, let your doctor know at your next checkup.

What makes good leadership?
To one Company Successful leadership requires a sovereign manager. Because often this decides between success and failure of a company. With uncertainty, dishonesty and disloyalty, executives fail not only towards customers, but also to their employees.
A management culture that motivates and promotes the opposite creates a stable framework and a pleasant working environment - essential for the success of a company. But what does a leader have to bring with him? Certainly there is no pattern answer and a multitude of possible answers, but characteristics and values that are demanded daily by an executive and that characterize the company.
The ideal leadership: The Top 5 features
- decisiveness: Within a company, decisions of varying difficulty and importance occur every day. It is important at this point to have a decisive but authentic appearance of leadership, in order to send self-confident signals to the employees. If the executive is unmasked as a decision-making and hesitant, there is a risk that the employees begin to feel responsible. Not least, an incompetent and weak impression emerges, degrading a leader and worsening their status in the team.
- Ability to motivate: Pronounced social skills of the manager are an important factor and decisive for the working culture of a company. The person in a leading position must be able to motivate his employees: the more motivated the team, the more efficiently it works. It is therefore important to clearly communicate the appreciation of the individual employee and his work. This can happen, for example, through bonuses, promotions and prizes such as "Employee of the Month". It is important to express appreciation. It is just as important to encourage and challenge employees, for example to express appreciation, such as by transferring more personal responsibility.
- self-reflexive: Closely related to the social competences are the personal competencies. It is particularly important for an executive to be able to reflect on himself in order to control his own impulses and personal concerns. For this purpose, the manager can also seek feedback from his employees, for example through regular meetings in which both the employees and the manager are given the opportunity to provide feedback. This capability comes along with the learning ability that a leader should possess, that is, ideally should be in a constant learning process, acquire new skills, and learn from lessons learned and feedback to optimize the work climate in the company and eliminate possible vulnerabilities.
- Responsibility: A leader should always be aware of his / her social responsibility. This includes, in particular, the responsibility towards its employees. Even though the company has a very high number of employees, executives should retain their responsibilities against each of them in the back of their minds and consider them in crisis situations. In addition, it is part of a management's skill set to admit their own mistakes and never to defer them to their employees. Leadership means making decisions and standing towards them. Done mistake, the executive carries the responsibility of failure.
- Efficient time management: In order to lead the company efficiently and profitably, conceptual competences are necessary. In particular, management should have good time management, as managers can not make decisions without time, or assign different priorities to individual tasks, let alone delegate them to employees efficiently. A stressed leadership is neither effective for the company nor for the employees.

Besides working on taxes with my accountant and trying to organize my office, I try to take time off in January. However this year I got an email from my associates at Image Base Productions; http://www.image-base.com to work on a local conference for GE Healthcare. I've worked with GE before on various projects and since this was local I decided to go for it. I'm often traveling during the year so I'm not generally keen on going anywhere in January. I'm glad I did. Everyone was unfailingly pleasant and the general feel for this Annual Meeting was very relaxed. One part of the Life Sciences group is pictured above. Despite the fact that the hotel had less than subtle decor and it was 6:45 in the morning everyone was very nice and this portrait went smoothly.
This year promises to be another busy one so I'm back to my hibernation -at least until February when I'm working with Reed Trade show company again and two new clients on back to back shows.

Crosswind landings are one of the most frightening thing to learn for student pilots. For me, crosswind landings were one of the most challenging manoeuvres and probably took me the longest to perform proficiently. This is because they absolutely have to be mastered – you simply cannot fly and not be able to do this. But also with cross wind landings, experience is everything, and the more you do these the better you will be at them, and the more comfortable you will feel.
In the beginning when you are only flying with your instructor (dual), they make sure you are very comfortable and proficient at cross wind take offs and landings. Though on your first solo it is highly unlikely you will be sent up in any crosswind, you have to be prepared. What if the surface wind changes when you are in the air? You are on your own.
There are two basic cross wind landing techniques. They are:
- Side Slip (or wing-low) landing
- The Crab
The Side Slip
The most popular cross wind landing technique and the easiest is the side slip (different than a forward slip). This is the first one you will encounter when you are learning. In fact, in North American for flight training the side slip is preferred and the crab is largely ignored, until you get into more advanced training and more complex aircraft. The nice thing with a side slip is that the longitudinal axis of the aircraft is already aligned with the runway, so there is no need to straighten out the aircraft before touchdown. This makes the procedure slightly less overwhelming then a a crab.
In a side slip, the longitudinal axis of the aircraft should be aligned with the runway and one wing, the upwind wing will be pointed down. To enter into a side slip, dip your upwind wing down into the wind, and apply opposite rudder sufficient enough to keep you aligned with the runway and from turning. You will have to adjust the amount of bank required to keep you flying in a straight line. Too much bank and the plane will move into the wind, too little and it will drift with the wind.
You hold these inputs until the flare, and hold off until the airplane is landed in exactly your approach configuration: you will land on the upwind wheel first. This is awkward at first, but this is usually brief as the downwind wing follows soon after.
Remember that when we are landing we have to use right rudder to counteract left turning tendencies, so anticipate this and factor it into the amount of rudder you will need when both wheels are on the ground.
Wind gusts will make it more challenging
When the wind is gusty, you will have to adjust your inputs to keep you on track. This is a tricky thing to learn and takes some time. If you practice often, you will get a good feel of how to keep the aircraft under control in gusty conditions.
The challenge with side slips is they don't work for all aircraft types, whereas the crab works for all aircraft. They are also not suitable for instrument approaches (ILS) or gliding for range.
The Crab
The crab is more advanced because the configuration has to be changed just prior to touchdown. In the figure above note that your aircraft is not pointing straight in a crab approach – it is not aligned with the runway. This means that prior to touchdown, you have to release the rudder inputs to avoid cross loading the landing gear.
To enter a crab, point the nose into the wind and maintain wings level. Your nose will be pointed into the wind, unlike a slip, and your wings will not be dipped but level. Just prior to your wheels touching the ground, remove the drift and use the rudder to align properly with the runway.
As you can imagine, it is more challenging simply because your heading and track are offset and you must quickly straighten the airplane at the proper moment. When judging when to straighten the airplane out, it is better to do it too early than too late. It takes a bit of time for the airplane to be sufficiently affected by the drift to cause you serious problems. If you remove them too late, you will have a much bigger problem where you can cross load the landing gear, possibly damaging it, or worse. Use wind aileron throughout the roll.
This photo is an example of a fairly extreme crosswind landing. If the wind is causing this jet to crab so steeply, you can imagine that it is too strong and unsuitable for a smaller aircraft.
What about flaps?
Typically, it's a good idea to always use flaps on approach, except in the case of a strong crosswind. The increased surface area of the wing just gives the crosswind more opportunity to blow you around, and when the crosswind is strong, don't use flaps, or use less flaps in a moderate crosswind.
How about a crosswind takeoff?

Night Terror uses augmented reality to turn your living room into game
Night Terror is an augmented reality survival horror game that you may want to check out.
Want to try a unique gaming experience? Night Terrors is a mobile game that will use augmented reality to scare the hell out of you.
The game creates a map of your home, with walls, rooms, ceilings and floors tracked by your smartphone's accelerometer. Using the data collected, a custom gaming experience is created with monsters in your living room. A player explores with the lights off, and a phone's LED as the only light source - with the camera and microphone information used in real-time to enhance the experience.
"If the game needs the player to go down their hallway, it manipulates the player to go there," said Bryan Mitchell, the game's developer, in a statement on Reddit. "If the game doesn't want the player to see or move, it presents a situation where seeing and moving will get the player 'killed.'"
"As an example, the game might kill the LED for story reasons, play heavy breathing sounds (spatialized right behind the player) and have this thing move closer and closer to the player. As whatever that thing sniffing around in dark is looks for the player, the player's imagination does the heavy lifting."

text: US / circus Circus Elephants Escape, Go on Mini Rampage At least 2 vehicles damaged after they slip handlers at Moolah Shrine Circus By Polly Davis Doig, Newser Staff Posted Mar 23, 2014 7:46 AM CDT Copied Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey's circus handler Joey Frisco speaks to an Asian elephant in this 2013 file photo. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola) (Newser) – Three circus elephants got a little taste of freedom and hooliganism yesterday when they apparently slipped their handlers at Moolah Shrine Circus and went on a mini rampage in a St. Louis parking lot, reports StLToday.com. At least two vehicles were damaged, though one witness makes it sound more serious. "Things started shaking," she tells KMOV. "When I looked up I saw three elephants coming toward us. These huge elephants literally went through these huge RVs. Then they went through two trucks, breaking mirrors off, and panels off and breaking the windows. You could tell they were upset." story continues below The circus president downplays the incident, saying that they were loose for a "brief period" before handlers were able to occupy the animals and they are resting comfortably at this time." The elephants were scratched from last night's performance, and the circus leaves town after two shows today. (Read more circus stories.)

A Flat-Wrong Belief
As late as the 4th grade, a surprisingly high proportion of children continue to believe that the earth is flat, two science researchers note in the current issue of Science and Children.
Summarizing the findings of previous studies and their own research with a small sample of elementary teachers, the authors term the flat-earth belief "a preconceived notion, or what science educators call a naive theory."
"Such theories, based on common-sense experiences from an early age, are very difficult to give up," they write, "and can strongly interfere with any learning that challenges them."
"Science educators have only recently begun to realize the importance of confronting naive theories and helping students examine their beliefs about the world," they note.
In their own survey, for example, Alan Lightman, a research physicist at the Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory, and Philip Sadler, a former teacher who now directs a science-curriculum project, found that "2nd-grade teachers believed that 95 percent of their students knew the earth was round when less than 5 percent actually did."
Science and Children is a periodical of the National Science Teachers Association.

I've been thinking a lot of fitness, lately. About the journey I've undergone in the past–what this November will mark–two years. I'm really proud of what I've accomplished and where I've come from, the habits that I've built (and almost always follow) and everything I've learned since I decided I wanted to take my health into my own hands. There is still one aspect that I could really, really work on, though.
My mental fitness.
I don't have too much of a problem sticking with my routine and maintaining this lifestyle. I actually enjoy it. I mean, everyone has their days when they want to be lazy or don't want to do anything. That's just human. But usually, I get up in the morning and, even if I'm not truly feeling it, I put in the effort and hit the trail, I complete that strength training exercise, I drink that extra glass of water, I log my food, I resist eating when I'm not hungry and I stick to my calorie goal. But, like I said, I'm human. So I also have days when I choose to sleep in or play video games instead of running. Or I eat that bowl of cereal at midnight, just because I want to. Or I buy that ice cream, I don't log my food on the weekends, I get those doughnuts before DnD on Sunday mornings. Both of those realities are totally fine.
What isn't is my mental response to the latter.
You see, I beat myself up way too often when I "slip up". When I don't follow my routine as well as I do during the week during the weekends, usually because I'm hanging out with people who don't follow the same lifestyle–and I have no desire to have a lifestyle that means I don't order the food I want when I go out to eat or my boyfriend and I do date nights (which usually includes ice cream). I like being able to eat what I want to eat. I want to do so without feeling like a failure. Or I'd like to have a lazy day without thinking the entire time about how I should have got up and gone running instead.
I'd really love to stop comparing myself to others and their progress and feel like I'm failing because of how my body looks, since it "doesn't look as good as theirs"; judging that I'm not doing well because I still have curves and love handles that stick out, despite the fact that I'm starting to form an outline in my abs, I've shaved a minute off my starting mile time and I've lost 30 pounds. I'd love to stop looking at the scale and getting pissed that I can't get under 175, even though I know I'm gaining muscle and still losing fat, even if the scale doesn't reflect that. I'd love to stop feeling like a whale one day, even though the day before, I couldn't believe I was actually feeling what it felt like to love your body.
I have my physical fitness down pat, a routine that I love and that works for me, with enough variety to help it stay fresh and mix it up. I know now how to eat well and stay full, yet also indulge and enjoy myself. I can log my food and my runs and I hold myself accountable.
Now, I'd love to learn how to master that mental game.
Any tips that you have would be super appreciated!

< VIATRA | Query
Revision as of 11:13, 3 November 2015 by Bergmann.mit.bme.hu (Talk | contribs) (→Proposed Solution)
IncQuery Engine Internals
Most important concepts
- IncQueryEngine: the central element of the API.
- IncQueryScope: selects the model the IncQueryEngine should work on. The project itself implements only EMFScope right now.
- RuntimeContext: wrapper class for the query backends to access the model. The access can be both indexed and non-indexed.
- IQueryBackend: an executor of graph pattern matches; it instantiates IResultProviders. Query Backends needs to be registered to the IncQueryEngine itself.
- RetePatternMatcher is the fully incremental implementation of the IResultProvider interface.
- LocalSearchMatcher is a local search based implementation of the IResultProvider interface.
- The Matcher interface is the public matcher API: generated instances are type-safe.
EngineConfiguration Proposal 2015-10-19
Here is a proposal for an (internal) API overhaul that restructures the way backend selection and hints are indicated.
- Make sure that (managed) IQ engines can have a configurable query backend that they use for all queries - unless specified otherwise - see Bug 466336
- Ensure that we can make available some preconfigured packages of backend implementation + corresponding evaluation hints, that correspond to good choices in common workloads
- Make sure that there is no need to manually register backend classes (even outside the plugin.xml environment)
- Remain open for further extensions (new aspects of the engine to configure) with maximized API stability
Proposed Solution
- In analogy with BaseIndexOptions, there should be an (immutable) IncQueryEngineConfiguration or IncQueryEngineOptions class (which can be extended in the future with further options).
- The configuration object contains a QueryEvaluationHint field, setting the default query backend and default evaluation options the engine uses for all of its queries. It is, of course still possible to override these manually for each query.
- The configuration object may provide additional fields (e.g. is engine strictly restricted to its default backend?), TBD before the 1.2 release.
- If future versions add more options, only this configuration class has to be modified; the engine creation API retains its signature.
- When creating an unmanaged engine, such a configuration object can be given along with the scope.
- If the parameter is omitted, a static default options object is used (reproducing the original default behaviour).
- The default engineConfig is always used for managed engines, since it is currently not possible to accommodate for conflicting preferences of multiple users within a single shared engine instance.
- Apart from the default config, additional "typical configurations" can be provided as public static final fields. For most users interested in non-default engine modes (e.g. using Local Search as the main backend, with EMF-specific ops and planning), we can just point them to create their engine with such a preconfigured profile, and then do not worry about giving more specific hints on a query-by-query basis.
- The configuration object contains a QueryEvaluationHint field, setting the default query backend and default evaluation options the engine uses for all of its queries. It is, of course still possible to override these manually for each query.
- To abolish the need for registering backends, each backend type should be identified by its factory rather than by its class.
- The field of QueryEvaluationHint that specifies the recommended backend should be of type IQueryBackendFactory instead of Class<? extends IQueryBackend>.
- When creating a hint, the query backend factory should be used instead of the query backend class, e.g. ReteEngine.FACTORY instead of ReteEngine.class. Such (static) factory instances must be publicly available to identify query evaluator implementations.
- There is no class --> factory lookup, so nothing has to be registered. QueryBackendRegistry, at least in its current form, can be deleted / made deprecated.
- EDIT 2015-11-03: As B. Grill pointed out today, retaining a list of available backend implementations would still be useful for the Query Explorer UI, if not for the engine runtime. So I now suggest retaining a registry solely for this purpose. However, registration can be completely automated by the extension mechanism, since the registry is now used in the Eclipse environment only. The registry can still be placed in the "matchers" plug-in, so that backends can automatically register to it.
- Miscellaneous tasks
- Discuss how we could provide options to backends that are not specific to an individual query, but apply to the whole backend instance.
- Hijack the hint system for this as well? The backend can then look up the engine default hints for such global options; this can be done upon initialization, before even getting the first query.
- Use non-static factories that can be parameterized by these arguments? This is problematic, as generated query specifications with generated hints will not be able to know in advanced how to get the specific instance of the factory.
- Ideally, we should investigate moving the hint management subsystem of IQE into a separate class contained within the engine, to shrink the monolith somewhat.
- Massive Javadoc fix / revision needed, e.g. for IQueryBackend and *Factory.
- Discuss how we could provide options to backends that are not specific to an individual query, but apply to the whole backend instance.

Ichikawa Kansai's criticism of the "Tangshi xuan"
The return to prominence of Neo-Confucianism in the field of scholarship was accompanied by a shift in literary taste away from High Tang poetry, which was favored by the proponents of the Kobunji-ha (Writing-in-the-Ancient-Style school), in favor of the more realistic and personal styles of Song poets.
A big role in this transition was played by Ichikawa Kansai (1749-1820), who established himself as an independent scholar after leaving a teaching position at the Shōheizaka gakumonjo. He founded the Rivers and Lakes Poetry Society, and helped to establish the new style by mentoring such gifted poets/essayists as Kikuchi Gozan, Kashiwagi Jotei, and Ōkubo Shibutsu.
Kansai's works include a ferocious critique of the Tangshi xuan and its Kobunji-ha admirers(fig.1).
Fig.1 Dan Tōshisen (Conversations about the Tangshi xuan), Bunka 8 (1811) edition
Click to take a closer look Full text is available by Google project (See Also[1])
Here he dismisses the Tangshi xuan as nothing more than a forgery concocted by Ming-era publishers, quoting repeatedly from the Siku quanshu zongmu tiyao (Annotated Index of the Siku quanshu). He also launches into an attack of Hattori Nankaku, who had authored a Japanese edition of the work, noting the numerous errors to be found in the text of the poems.
Kansai's critique was more than a matter of diverging literary tastes. He used the achievements of Qing-era scholarship to call into question the value and reliability of Ming-dynasty publications and those who relied on them (the Kobunji-ha).
Fig.2 Yang Chengzhai's shichao (J. Yō Seisai shishō; Poems by Yang Chengzai [Wanli]), 5 vols., Bunka 5 (1808) edition
Click to take a closer look Full text is available by Google project (See Also[1])
Yang Chengzhai's shichao (fig 2) is an edition of Yang Wanli (whose pen name was Chengzai)'s poems taken from the Qing period anthology Song shichao (J. Sōshishō, "Selections from Song Poetry"), originally edited by Wu Mengju (1640-1717) and Wu Zimu and then revised and published by Kansai's disciple, Ōkubo Shibutsu.
Thus, the poets of the Rivers and Lakes also paid close attention to the latest in publishing from China, and made this knowledge the basis of their literary activity. In this respect, they closely resemble the Confucian scholars of the Shōheizaka Gakumonjo.

Since you asked….Alamo Colleges' chancellor Bruce Leslie also took a trip to Ireland last April and to Scotland last November.
The April trip was paid for in part by Northern Ireland's Learning and Skills Development Agency, which invited Leslie to deliver this presentation about shaping educational programs to meet community demand. Here is an article from the Belfast Telegraph that mentions Leslie's contribution.
Airfare was covered by the LSDA and the Alamo Colleges picked up $187 for meals and airport parking, according to travel records.
The November trip was paid for in part by the Scottish Furthering Education Unit, the equivalent of the American Association of Community Colleges. Leslie spoke at their annual conference in Glasgow, met with faculty and staff at Anniesland and Cumbernauld Colleges, and addressed the graduating class of Forth Valley College.
For that trip, the Alamo Colleges picked up $790 for lodging, meals and internet and phone charges, according to travel records.
According to Leslie, the district also pays to send faculty abroad to attend conferences or take students on educational trips.
Travel budgets have been cut 30 percent across the board, including at the district level, Leslie said. But that does not mean that no one travels. At each college, presidents have discretion over how to allocate money.
"What (district officials) said is 'You are going to have to cut that amount from some place,'" Leslie said. "Some of them chose to cut out of travel, some of them chose to cut other places."
What do you think? Should the Alamo Colleges pay for international travel?

IT'S THE incredulous but common lament of parents denied the boasting rights conferred by bilingual offspring: after years of language lessons their primary school child still can't count to 10 in the chosen tongue.
That's because among the mere 30 per cent of NSW primary schools that offer a foreign language, nearly all use the discredited ''drip feed'' method of about an hour a week bracketed by long periods of holiday nothingness.
Language experts scorn the drip feed as next to useless for gaining foreign language fluency, much less proficiency, in the Asian languages - the hardest for native English speakers to learn. Yet this is the real world starting point for the federal government's Asian Century white paper goal of producing Asia-literate generations.
''Proficiency in more than one language is a basic skill of the 21st century,'' the paper states. It sets a goal for all students to have the opportunity from their first day of school continuously to year 12 to study at least one of four priority Asian languages - Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi, Indonesian and Japanese. It states no targets for proficiency.
Just under 10 per cent of NSW public school students are learning Asian languages. While 18 per cent of Australian school students are learning one of the priority languages, the proportion still doing it in year 12 is only 5.8 per cent, the Asia Education Foundation says. Professor Joe Lo Bianco of the University of Melbourne, a veteran of the languages debate, could scarcely contain his irritation. ''Why is it we keep producing such unrealistic policy?'' he asked.
There have been 67 policy-related reports, investigations or inquiries into language teaching in Australia in the past 40 years, says this professor of languages and literacy education. For the past 30 years they have all been ''built on the dreams of people unconnected with schools'' and written for ''an audience of business people''.
A key aspect of this unreality is blindness to the fact that some languages are harder to learn than others.
''It is clear we come nowhere near the minimum hours,'' says Professor Lo Bianco.
A widely used standard from the Foreign Service Institute, which trains US diplomats, puts the priority languages of Chinese and Japanese in the hardest category to learn, at 2200 hours of class time. That equates to 88 weeks of full-time study, excluding the self-directed learning students are expected to do outside class.
It's almost four times as many hours as are required for proficiency in European languages such as French and Italian, long popular in Australian schools, and twice as many as are needed for Hindi, the new priority language which replaces Korean. Indonesian is easiest among the chosen four, at 900 class hours.
Indonesian is the most accessible because it's written in Roman script, like English, says Matthew Absalom, an award-winning languages teacher at Melbourne University and president of the Australian Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations. The different scripts for Chinese, Japanese and Hindi are a big part of the reason they take so much longer to learn. Of the three, Hindi is ''slightly less challenging'' because it has an Indo-European structure more familiar to those from a European language background, Mr Absalom says. Japanese is a bit easier than Chinese because it has less tonal variation and fewer vowels.
The Prime Minister said the national broadband network would mean students did not need to be in the same classroom as their teachers.
Mr Absalom has experimented with schools overseas to teach Italian using online interaction via video, email exchanges, social media, wikis, blogs and real-time interaction. Such technologies are best when integrated with a face-to-face program, he said.
In NSW there is no minimum language requirement in primary schools, and in secondary schools a minimum of 100 hours up to year 10 only.
A lack of articulation between primary and secondary schools hinders children's pursuit of language study, said Kathe Kirby, executive director of the Asia Education Foundation.
Periodic federal government funding has not led to robust language programs. Despite the $200 million expended on the National Asian Languages Studies in Australian Schools Strategy between 1994 and 2002, its targets were not met, and secondary language is in ''a terminal state not able to achieve even some of the goals Julia Gillard has outlined'', said Associate Professor Ken Cruickshank, a language and literacy specialist in the faculty of education at the University of Sydney.
The NSW government provides about $4 million a year to community-run ethnic language schools covering 58 languages and attended by 30,000 NSW children outside school hours. The Department of Education also collaborates with a range of foreign government agencies, as well as language and cultural organisations such as the Goethe and Confucius Institutes, to support the teaching of languages in schools.

Dave Alvin's phone rang.
"Your brother's dead," the voice said on the other end.
"I was in California," Dave says in the present day, remembering that phone call. "And he was in Spain. It was like 45 minutes to an hour of darkness until I got another phone call saying, 'He's in a coma; he's alive, he's going to be okay.'"
Dave and his brother, Phil, had been somewhat estranged and for the most part hadn't worked together for 30 years. It took his brother's temporary death to get them back together.
"He died," Dave says. "And was brought back to life. In that almost hour period of mourning, I was regretting things we hadn't done. And as trivial as it sounds I regretted that we hadn't recorded things like 'Cherry Red Blues' or all the Big Bill Broonzy songs we grew up loving. So when I got the phone call saying he's going to be alright, that set everything in motion in my brain. 'Let's put everything aside — solo careers, this, that, and the other — and let's just make some friggin' music together.'"
The resulting Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin record was last year's Grammy- nominated "Common Ground," a collection of Big Bill Broonzy tunes the brothers had listened to while growing up. And to make up for lost time, the brothers have just released its follow-up, "Lost Time": another collection of music they loved from their days growing up in Downey, California.
Dave and Phil Alvin founded The Blasters in 1979. The band was incendiary, mixing various high-energy styles with a driving back beat and bravado. The Blasters simply called it "American music." It was a magnificent amalgam of blues, R&B, rockabilly, rock 'n' roll, and roots-rock. The band made its mark in the burgeoning LA punk scene along with bands like X and Black Flag.
As kids, the Alvin Brothers were infatuated with the blues and hung around blues clubs to see legends like T-Bone Walker, Big Joe Turner, and Sonny Terry, to name a few. As The Blasters, they got to rub elbows with legendary saxophonist Lee Allen (of Lloyd Price, Fats Domino, and Little Richard fame) who wound up joining the band. Dave left the band in 1986 to pursue a solo career while Phil continued on with The Blasters and solo work of his own.
The brothers wouldn't work again until that phone call.
So Dave and Phil Alvin are back. It ain't The Blasters, but it kinda sounds like it. Dave doesn't necessarily disagree. "At times it does," he says. "I mean, it is the Alvin Brothers, so it only makes sense to sound a little like a Blasters record."
Though Alvin concedes some of this record could have been done with The Blasters, it wasn't what he and his brother were aiming for.
"The issue with The Blasters is," he says, "The Blasters is a band and it was known for certain things. And I didn't want that sort of heaviness, I just wanted to make an Alvin Brothers record. Because, if you include the band members, there're five different opinions. The Blasters was always a democracy. Everybody had an equal say in everything. And I just wanted to make some records where just the two Alvin brothers have a say."
And where they could make up for lost time. Hell, it's the album's title.
"It's sort of a play on having not made a record in 30-odd years," Alvin says. "It goes back to the five years we were in The Blasters. It really goes back to childhood; the back cover of the album is a picture of us as teenagers with Big Joe Turner, Hoppy Hopkins, and you know, that time is lost. A lot of our adopted brothers are gone, some of our closest friends are gone. So it all kinda ties in with there's a lot of lost time.
"And it's not just the time we didn't spend making music together, just time in general. We did four Big Joe Turner songs on the record because we wanted to capture a little bit of Big Joe."
Big Joe's influence was all over The Blasters. Ditto for the brother's new project. Turner showed Phil Alvin how to sing when he was 14. Nobody comes closer to Big Joe Turner's Kansas City shout and bluesy bellow than Phil.
With so much referential and reverential history going in and coming out of "Lost Time," it's hard to classify it. Is it rock 'n' roll? Is it blues? Is it Americana?
"It's a blues record," Alvin says. "Blues to me is a pretty broad definition. Blues doesn't necessarily sound one or two ways. There's a million ways to play the blues. Muddy Waters played it one way; Big Bill Broonzy played it another; Miles Davis played it another; The Allman Brothers, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, played it another way. It all boils down to the form, but I always considered The Blasters' and my own solo records as blues records."
Front to back, "Lost Time" is a beautiful record. It's the Alvin Brothers saluting their heroes. There're the four songs by Big Joe Turner as well as songs in the public domain, and stuff by James Brown, Willie Dixon, and so on. The playing is interpretive yet appropriate. Phil bellows and wails while Dave's guitar slithers and stings. It's infectious, irresistible, and menacing.
"Selecting the songs was easy," Dave says. "They're just songs we've always loved. We picked songs we'd sung or loved all of our lives. Songs like 'Cherry Red Blues' and 'Hide and Seek.' The biggest problem we had was a lot of the great blues material from the early 60's backwards has been done so much, so many times by so many artists. The world doesn't need another version of 'Hoochie Coochie Man.' 'Sweet Home Chicago'? No thank you."
Though the man is making up for lost time, Dave hasn't made any plans for record number three with his brother.
"I never make plans until it's time to make them," he says. "The only plan I've made is 'Hey I wanna quit my day job.' And I've managed to stay away from that day job for 30 some years. So it's working on some level."
When pressed about the Alvin Brothers' legacy, Alvin laughs. One hundred years from now, what will they say about Dave and Phil Alvin?
"Probably the first thing they'll say is 'Who?' If anything, they might say 'The one guy was a helluva singer and the other guy could write a pretty good song."'

What is Dual Agency?
A dual agency situation arises when the same broker represents both the buyer and seller in a commercial or residential real estate transaction.[1] Many times two real estate agents represent each party while the same broker or corporate brokerage acts as an umbrella supervising both agents. While this is a common practice in California, the laws governing dual agency are in a state of flux after a 2016 California Supreme Court decision.
Is it Possible to Represent Both Buyer and Seller's Separate Interests Fairly?
Maybe. In the legal world, one attorney or law firm cannot represent both the plaintiff and defendant at the same time. Too many conflicts of interest arise including the possibility of breaching fiduciary duties and violating privileges. Buyers, sellers, and parties to real estate transactions may see similar issues occurring with dual agency.
Rather than prohibiting dual agency, however, California's law permits it as long as both parties consent to the arrangement after full disclosure.[2] The law requires brokers to disclose whether they are acting as dual agents and to inform the parties that a broker acting as a dual agent owes fiduciary duties to both buyer and seller.[3] The broker may act directly or through an "associate licensee" (or real estate agent) who works for and is supervised by the broker.[4] Notably, the duty owed by the agent to any party in a real estate transaction is equivalent to the duty owed to that party by the broker.[5]
Horiike v. Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Co.
In Horiike, homebuyer Horiike retained Coldwell Banker real estate agent Chizuko Namba to help him purchase a home in Malibu listed for sale by another Coldwell Banker agent, Chris Cortazzo, located in a different office.[6] The parties agreed that Coldwell Banker, acting through Namba and Cortazzo, would function as a dual agent in the transaction.[7] After the sale, however, Horiike discovered a significant discrepancy in the house's square footage as found in the building permit and the square footage in the house's marketing materials provided by Cortazzo.[8]
Horiike sued Cortazzo and Coldwell Banker for breach of fiduciary duty based on a failure to disclose known inconsistencies in the records of total square footage of the house.[9] After a jury trial and appeal, the California Supreme Court granted Coldwell Banker and Cortazzo's petition for review.[10]
Cortazzo Should Have Investigated and Disclosed Inconsistencies in Square Footage
The issue before the Court was whether Cortazzo, acting as a listing agent representing Coldwell Banker in the sale of the house, owed a duty to Horiike, the buyer, "to learn and disclose" inconsistencies in the square footage as advertised and reflected in publicly recorded documents.[11] The Court decided in favor of Horiike.[12]
To begin with, it was "undisputed" Coldwell Banker owed fiduciary duties to "learn and disclose" square footage inconsistencies to Horiike.[13] Moreover, as Cortazzo was only a representative of Coldwell Banker, he did not have an independent agency relationship with Horiike or the seller.[14] Instead, his relationship with Horiike was one "derived from the agency relationship between [Coldwell Banker and Horiike]."[15] Because Coldwell Banker agreed to act as a dual agent for both the buyer Horiike and the seller, Cortazzo assumed duties "equivalent" to the duty owed by Coldwell Banker to Horiike under California Civil Code Section 2079.13(b).[16] In effect, a listing agent like Cortazzo, rather than having fiduciary duties only to his client the seller, now has fiduciary duties to both the buyer and seller.[17]
Takeaways From Horiike
- An "associate licensee" has fiduciary duties to both the buyer and seller in a dual agency transaction (see above).
- Disclosure Obligations of Exclusive Representative v. Dual Agent
The primary difference between the disclosure obligations of an exclusive representative of a seller and a dual agent representing the seller and buyer is the dual agent's duty to learn and disclose facts material to the property's price or desirability, including those facts that might reasonably be discovered by the buyer.[18]
- Transparency v. Duty of Confidentiality to Buyer and Seller
Following Horiike, the Court acknowledged the tension between maintaining transparency in real estate transactions versus maintaining a duty of confidentiality to each client; buyers and sellers will not have the benefit of the "undivided loyalty of an exclusive salesperson" and a salesperson "[may] have a duty to harm their original client by disclosing to the other side confidential information about the client's motivations or the salesperson's beliefs."[19] These concerns, however, are inherent in dual agency, and the Court said if the Legislature wanted to address them, it opted not to when drafting the dual agency statutes.[20]
- Risk of Lawsuit & Limiting Dual Agency Transactions
Agents may face an increased risk of being sued after Horiike. Also, large firms may try to avoid dual agency transactions which could reduce buyers and sellers' access to certain areas of the market.
- California Assembly Bill Nos. 1059 and 1626
Assembly Bill No. 1059 and No. 1626 were proposed in response to Horiike, and both are "In Committee" before the Legislature. Bill No. 1059 prohibits commercial dual agency transactions.[21] Bill No. 1626 clarifies the role of real estate licensees/agents and revises the mandatory dual agency disclosure forms in light of Horiike.[22]
Where Do We Go From Here?
Whether the current assembly bills pass or assemblypersons draft different legislation post- Horiike remains to be seen. In the meantime, Horiike is the prevailing law and now more than ever, parties to dual agency transactions may have questions regarding dual agency law, the scope of their liability, and fiduciary duties owed to clients. If you have concerns regarding your current practices and policies, please contact an attorney for help and to ensure your compliance with California's existing real estate laws.

Why No Species Solidarity?
Why is it that advocating that fewer humans be born so often seems to come with a great devotion to the care of other species, whether endangered ones or domestic? Where's the species loyalty?
I wonder if in part this trends stems from a tendency to think of the person as a free floating individual defined by mind and memory rather than a member of a family, state, species, etc. which constitutes a revolving population in which our place is to grow up, care for others, reproduce, rear the next generation, and eventually die. This "circle of life thing" seems to have been clearly (though perhaps not consciously) understood and accepted in pre-industrial societies, but as it has become easier to think of ourselves as little eternal being in the abstract, primarily an individual rather than part of a great chain on beings, I think people lose track of it.
Thus, animals assume greater importance to the extent to which they form cherished parts of memory and everyday experience. And having offspring is often seen as an obstacle to fulfillment rather than one of the primary purposes of one's life.

Good post - I've noticed the phenomenon as well, but I had never postulated a theory to try and explain it.
It reminds me of a story I read about a few years ago, which you might be familiar with as well. There was a mother of two who was out running somewhere in the greater LA area and she was attacked and killed by a mountain lion. Game wardens ended up killing the mountain lion, and later it was found that the lion had recently had babies. Various groups set up donation funds for the mountain lion babies and for the woman's children, but the fund for the lions raised many times more money than the one for the children. I can't remember the numbers, but the difference was enormous.

I have often wondered this for a while too and can really only narrow it down to laziness. Sure being a dog owner is hard work, but compared to being a parent it is not so tough. Those that care more about animals get that personal "feel good" feeling of caring and then don't have the hard work to accompany it.

Very, very interesting point.

Oh gosh don't even get me started, on a recent trip to Madison (think San Francisco or Greenich Village in the mid-west) I met some enviormentalist guy who said that "every argument people use to kill animals is the same as they used to justify the holocaust... we are better than them, it is God's will, etc" needless to say the guy's logic was flawed to the extreme and somone with decent schooling in Catholic philosphy could have tore his "mind blowing insights" to shreds. The best I could come up with though was saying that such ideas are a slipperly slope, and the desire to have animals treated like people is cut from the same cloth as the desire to treat people like Animals. That reminds me, the Enfield still hasn't brought down a deer, I have to get on that...

That accident happened about 1 mile from my house. I don't recall the donation fund for the mountain lion babies, but I can believe it happened.

Could it at all be possible and having come to understand the intricate web that an ecosystem is, where not only the animals but every living organism plays an important role, and the fragility of these systems, we value all parts of it.
And not so much for ourselves, because we are still "blessed" with ample and diverse ecosystems in which we can marvel at all the wondrous ways living things weave their lives around one another, but for our childrens childrens children.
Do you wish upon then a world less rich in diversity and beauty?
- Banshee said...
There is no creature on earth except humans that can understand the beauty and diversity of the ecosystem. There is no other creature that can help rare animals and plants to survive.
So it makes sense to save the humans first, even from the most disinterested point of view; and and our natural loyalties also belong more to humans than animals.
G.K. Chesterton pointed out that the only time we can really share an animal's point of view is when we're out hunting animals. He also pointed out that turkeys' lives are hugely more alien and mysterious to us than those of angels.
