Mata was the first Blues player to react publicly to the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo on Wednesday and he has now led the way in responding to the controversial decision to hand former Liverpool boss Benitez the reins until the end of the season.
He told the Daily Mail: "Rafa Benitez is a great coach. He's got lots of experience and won a lot of trophies with Liverpool, taking them to a very high level. He knows the Premier League too."
Benitez's appointment has been seen by some as owner Roman Abramovich's latest attempt to get £50million flop Fernando Torres scoring.
Torres has never recaptured the form he showed under Benitez at Anfield but Mata said: "I have total faith in Fernando Torres. He will score goals. He is a great striker and a great professional."
Di Matteo was sacked after Chelsea's 3-0 Champions League defeat at Juventus, in which he dropped Torres for the first time.
Mata added: "Di Matteo's sacking means things haven't been going well but we can't just blame it all on the Juventus game. We can't just focus on what happened recently."
Mata took to social media to wish Di Matteo well after Abramovich ruthlessly dispensed with the Italian only hours after the defeat in Turin.
He posted on Facebook: "would like to thank him for all this time with us and wish him the best of luck for the future.
"As a player, he has been a legend for the 'Blues'. With him as a manager, we won our first Champions League. He will always be remembered. Good luck Robbie!"

Developmental experts have long cautioned against the hazards of television. The American Academy of Pediatrics has one of the stricter stances: that video screen time provides no educational benefits for children under age 2 – and even leaves less time for activities that do, like interacting with other people and playing, the group said.
Now the Academy is warning about the ill effects of so-called "background" television – TV that's been left on as background noise even though nobody is watching it. Parents are cautioned that this second-hand television can actually be harmful to children's cognitive functioning and social play, especially for toddlers 2 and younger.
The Academy conducted a study in which researchers found found the average child under 8 is exposed to nearly 4 hours of background television over a 24-hour period.
"Background television exposure has been linked to lower sustained attention during playtime, lower quality parent-child interactions, and reduced performance on cognitive tasks," reported Matthew Lapierre, of the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and colleagues.
The study, "Background Television in the Homes of U.S. Children," will be published in the November 2012 issue of Pediatrics and is the first to establish the pervasiveness of video wallpaper in U.S. homes with children. Children in families who left the television on when no one was watching, and children who had TV sets in their bedrooms, were exposed to more background TV.
Plus: Kids and TV – A Get-Real Guide
Both younger children and African American children are exposed to more background television, at an average of 5.5 hours per day, and children from the poorest families were exposed to nearly 6 hours per day.
"This is concerning because past research has shown that children from these demographic groups are typically at risk for other social and cognitive problems," Lapierre's group pointed out.
The study's authors suggest attempts to reduce background TV can start with simple steps like advice to turn off the TV when no one is watching, or to turn off the TV at key points during the child's day, like bedtime and mealtime. Parents should also be mindful of their own television viewing habits when their littlest ones are home, even if they aren't plonked in front of the tube.
"This may be particularly effective for parents of the youngest children who may not see their own direct exposure as having an impact on young children or may be using the television for companionship," researchers wrote.
Do you leave the TV on for background noise in your home? Let us know what you think about the second-hand television and the Academy's study.

New signing Philippe Coutinho marked his Liverpool debut with a goal in a 5-0 win as an understrength Swansea side with one eye on a Wembley final next week put up little fight at Anfield.
The 20-year-old scored the important second goal moments after the break following Steven Gerrard's first-half penalty.
Jose Enrique, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge, also from the spot, finished off the visitors who rarely looked interested in, or capable of, making a contest of it.
Brendan Rodgers, facing the club he left in the summer for the third time this season, began the week talking up what an important seven days lay ahead.
But after a home defeat to West Brom and one against Zenit St Petersburg in the Europa League this game took on even more significance.
It was a match Liverpool effectively could not afford to do anything but win, although that only served to paper over the cracks which have been exposed recently.
As emphatic as the scoreline was - incredibly securing a first win over a top-10 side this season - it only served to prove just how frustrating the Reds can be.
Earlier in the week they created as many if not more chances against the Baggies but failed to put any away.
The same problem befell them in Russia, with a similar 2-0 defeat the outcome, but in some ways Swansea probably provided the ideal opposition for the Reds to end a five-match win-less run.
Physically unintimidating, with a bigger prize on offer in seven days' time, they were also the perfect team for the slight and youthful-looking Coutinho to make his first appearance since an £8.5million move from Inter Milan late last month.
Swansea boss Michael Laudrup, with his thoughts on next weekend's Capital One Cup final, did his predecessor a huge favour by naming a weakened side, selecting only four who beat QPR 4-1 last week and leaving out 15-goal striker Michu, captain Ashley Williams and Nathan Dyer.
Had Liverpool not beaten a side which was arguably not as strong as the one which defeated the Reds 3-1 in the League Cup in October, serious questions would have been asked.
After striker Roland Lamah's hopeful appeals for a handball against Glen Johnson were waved away by referee Howard Webb the match settled into a familiar and all-too-frustrating pattern for the hosts.
England right-back Johnson planted a free header well wide, Gerrard drilled a free-kick into the wall and Suarez fired the rebound over, before the Uruguay international whipped a 25-yard free-kick just over the bar and similarly dispatched a dipping volley.
The chances continued to be created and not converted as Sturridge missed the target with a close-range header before the £12million signing appeared to be brought down by Kyle Bartley.
Referee Howard Webb saw nothing untoward but worse was to follow as Liverpool's other January arrival Coutinho stabbed the loose ball wide with the goal at his mercy.
Webb was also unconvinced by Kemy Agustien's unnecessary challenge on Suarez close to the touchline but fortunately for the home side his assistant Mike Mularkey saw it differently and immediately flagged for a penalty.
Gerrard, having failed from the spot in front of the Kop against West Brom, went for the opposite corner and succeeded in beating Michel Vorm for Liverpool's first goal.
Sturridge had one more chance before the break but having been put through by Suarez his left-footed toe poke was blocked by the head of Bartley.
Swansea had shown little threat in the opening 45 minutes and any ideas they may have had about staging a comeback were snuffed out within 10 minutes of the restart.
In truth, the 16 seconds it took the 20-year-old Coutinho to skip through the visitors' defence and beat Vorm was all that was required.
However, a well-worked goal saw Enrique poke home Sturridge's pass before Suarez went past both Swansea's centre-backs to fire home the fourth.
The persevering Sturridge was denied again by Vorm as the Reds ploughed forward almost at will with Swansea seemingly powerless to stop them or provide any effective response of their own.
He finally got his goal but only courtesy of the generosity of Gerrard who relinquished penalty duties when substitute Wayne Routledge handled.
Liverpool, who finished with 10 men after third and final substitute Fabio Borini went off with a painful-looking shoulder injury, have now scored 17 goals in their last five home games with only the two conceded against West Brom spoiling a perfect run at Anfield.
The key for Rodgers, as it has been for the entire season, is to find a way of ensuring this is not just another flash in the pan as his side moved to within nine points of fourth-placed Tottenham.

Fitment is great for my car, and everything lines up correctly. The size matches just right with no slack. Takes about 3 minutes to put on, and even less time to remove. My only complaint is that the round plastic pieces on each side, which are meant for locks, possibly scratch the car when installing the cover, so you have to be careful. Also, if you have an antenna, you'll need to cut your own hole for it. Overall though, I would recommend it to anyone who wants a high quality car cover.

Bogotá, Colombia, Nov 30, 2012 / 04:03 pm (CNA).- A study revealed that the vast majority of young people in Colombia reject abortion, "gay marriage" and the legalization of drugs, as the country debates measures on all three issues.
The Nov. 23-25 analysis was carried out by the Ipsos Napoleon Franco firm and published by Semana magazine.
Among 18-24 year-olds, 74 percent oppose abortion and the legalization of drugs, while 68 percent those aged 25-34 oppose both issues.
The study also showed that 58 percent of young people aged 18-24 do not agree with same-sex "marriage" and that 56 percent of those aged 25-34 also disagree with the practice.
A total of 1006 Colombians from thirteen different cities took part in the survey.

BERLIN (AP) — The U.S. Army says it's cutting 160 civilian support positions in Europe as it moves ahead with plans to reduce the number of soldiers on the continent.
The military said in a statement Friday that the Department of the Army positions would be cut through September 2013 and that U.S. Army Europe would "continue to transform the civilian workforce to match the demands of supporting its uniformed forces."
There are currently some 4,700 Department of the Army and local civilians employed by U.S. Army Europe.
The Pentagon is in the process of eliminating two heavy armored brigades based in Germany. That will leave two U.S. Army combat brigades permanently stationed in Europe, one in Germany and one in Italy.

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC's game show "The Million Second Quiz" is running out of time to make an impact.
The network hoped to make a big splash in the two weeks before the start of the traditional TV season with the game show hosted by Ryan Seacrest. But "The Million Second Quiz" is taking a critical lashing and viewers are staying away.
The show debuted last Monday to an audience of just over 6.5 million viewers, and proceeded to get a smaller crowd watching it each succeeding night last week, the Nielsen company said. It dropped to 5.8 million on Tuesday, 5.2 million on Wednesday, 4.2 million on Thursday, 4 million on Friday and 2.9 million on Saturday. To be fair, Fridays and Saturdays are the least-watched TV night of the week. Contestants answer general knowledge questions. Sept. 19 to win $2 million grand
The show rebounded to 3.7 million this Monday, but that's only a little more than half what it had Monday a week ago.
Although the format sounds simple — contestants answer general-knowledge questions in competition for a grand prize of $2 million — critics have called the show confusing, saying producers jumped into the game with little explanation of what is going on and why it was important.
"Let's just find the person who said 'yes' to this and do something evil to them — like make them watch it," wrote Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter.
Catriona Wightman of Digital Spy wrote that "it took me ages" to figure out what was happening.
"Is there any need for things to be this complex?" Wightman asked. "I suppose NBC couldn't devote a full hour every night for 10 days to mere questions and answers, but perhaps something a little simpler could still have been exciting enough."
NBC certainly isn't bragging about the ratings, but points out that the game improved the ratings that NBC had gotten in some of the individual time slots for most of the summer. The network, which built a huge set for the game on the rooftop of a Manhattan building and hired Seacrest, had hoped the game could appear occasionally through the year as a special event. It hasn't said whether "The Million Second Quiz" has a lift after it ends this week.
With new fall programming still largely on the horizon, football dominated the television schedule this past week.
Largely due to its Sunday night football game, NBC won the week with an average of 7 million viewers in prime time. CBS had 6.7 million, ABC had 4.5 million, Fox had 4 million, Univision had 3.1 million, ION Television had 1.3 million, Telemundo had 1 million and the CW had 870,000
ESPN was the most popular cable network of the week, averaging 4.1 million viewers. USA had 2.6 million, The Disney Channel had 2.3 million, History had 1.8 million and Fox News Channel had 1.7 million.
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 8.3 million viewers. ABC's "World News" was second with 7.9 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 6.1 million viewers.
For the week of Sept 9-15, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Football: San Francisco at Seattle, NBC, 20.54 million; "Football Rain Delay," NBC, 17.84 million; NFL Football: Philadelphia at Washington, ESPN, 16.52 million; "Sunday Night NFL Pre-Kick," NBC, 15.22 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 12.45 million; "Football Night in America," NBC, 11.31 million; NFL Football: Houston at San Diego, ESPN, 10.95 million; "America's Got Talent" (Wednesday), NBC, 10.08 million; "Under the Dome," CBS, 9.72 million; "America's Got Talent" (Tuesday), NBC, 9.24 million.

Hey guys, I'm new. I've been trying to get on this website for a while, but I can't access the forum by phone and this is the first time I could get to an actual computer with a newborn.
Anyway, I am in need of some help or support or insight or piece of mind! This is my first kid. He is 3 weeks today and our breastfeeding journey has been less Breastfeeding is/was so important to me, yet it was the only thing I never looked into while pregnant. I figured, if you do it, you do it, its supposed to happen naturally, right?
So at the hospital, I never really talked to anyone about breastfeeding, I just did it. And he latched on, but he never really communicated well that he was hungry, or I didn't know what I was looking for, and then he would fall asleep almost immediately after latching, so I thought that perhaps he didn't need that much to eat... that's when it went downhill.
So here are the numbers:
8/2- 8lbs 14oz, 19 inches
8/4- 8lbs 6oz
8/7- 8lbs 5oz, 20.75 inches
8/9- 8lbs 7.5oz
8/12- 8lbs 8oz
8/15- 8lbs 8oz, 21.5 inches *he only gained .9 oz during a 40 minute nursing session, ped. started supplementation*
8/16- *day that he was supposed to reach his birth weight*
8/19- 9lbs 1.9oz *gained 1.7 oz during a 30 minute nursing*
8/23- 9lbs 10oz
So, there was constantly periods of time in the beginning where he would suck and sleep on my breast, like for 3-5 hours a few times a day, but he'd fall asleep so quickly on my breast, in about 3 minutes, and it would take me hours to wake him up at night. And it sucks for sleep, or lack there of, but I didn't mind. He always seemed like he was starving though. And then after the meconium cleared out, he didn't have a dirty diaper for 3-5 days at a time, but wet ones regularly, maybe even more so. But I only fed him on demand, with the exception of night, because he wouldn't wake up.
The rn at my ped's office put me on a schedule, because of the lack of weight gain. She said I should feed him every two hours for only 20 minutes, then stop him, because he is only burning more calories than he is taking in. I did that one day, but he seemed starving, so I gave up the next and continued to feed him as much as possible.
On 8/15, my pediatrician had me start to supplement him after every other breastfeeding, she said 1-3 oz, but he didn't seem to know when to stop eating formula, so I just did 2 oz, because otherwise he would spit up A LOT. She had me start the 20 minute feedings again. I also started pumping 30 minutes after every breastfeeding, so even less sleep for me, yay... I was only getting about .25 oz total of breastmilk each pumping (10 minutes), which has been terribly depressing, but I supplemented that as well. I am using nutramigen, because I have celiac (Im also vegan), which is not a cheap formula. The ped told me to use a paci after feedings, because he sleeps for 10 minutes at this point and would wake up and want to suck more. I didn't want to use a paci at all, but I tried it, and (luckily for my sanity) he has rejected them every time.
Yes, he is gaining weight, but he and I are still having stressful breastfeeding sessions, and we are back to nursing whenever he demands it, because he is falling asleep on my breast so quickly and wakes up as soon as I unlatch him, so sometimes in 5 minute stretches over the course of 4 hours. He is a super lazy/passive feeder. Also, the lactation consultant had me go down to 1oz after every other feeding now, and between feedings he won't sleep except for night, but I was told to no longer wake him up, just wait until on demand happens. He didn't wake up for 5 hours last night and then barely fed and fell back asleep for 2 hours. Sometimes he gets frustrated, and I don't know if my milk tastes bad, or its flows fast, or not at all. He super sucks my pinky when I put it in his mouth, but it feels like he is hardly sucking on my breast. He keeps on trying to bottle suck on my nipple now (not every time), and sometimes just latches to my nipple alone and refuses to properly latch, and it is starting to hurt. He barely sleeps now except for night. He hasn't had a bowel movement in over 30 hours, but he has about 15 wet diapers a day. He never seems completely full after a feeding because he always falls asleep, but his stomach is huge when I supplement. I no longer pump, because I had to return it. I'm worried that by next Friday's weigh-in he will have lost weight again.
What am I doing wrong?!?! Are we ok? Am I just crazy? I know this is a long post, but I don't want to depend on formula. And pumping is too depressing and stressful, so I don't want to do it long term. Help!

Haley Reinhart would like to apologize to the fans who waited for her outside of the Allstate Arena in August.
The Wheeling native — who hasn't been home much since finishing third on Fox's "American Idol" in May — had just met with hundreds of friends and family following the "American Idols Live!" show. She described the get-together as a "zoo" and said she was a bit overwhelmed as she left the venue.
"I know there were a lot of people that were upset I didn't go out and sign for them," said Reinhart over the phone from her apartment in Hollywood Sunday. "I was very torn. I hope I didn't leave too many people feeling left out."
Fortunately for Reinhart's hometown fans, they will have another opportunity to meet the 21-year-old singer this weekend.
Reinhart and fellow Season 10 "Idol" Casey Abrams are singing the Christmas duet "Baby, It's Cold Outside" at the 20th annual Magnificent Mile Lights Festival on North Michigan Avenue Saturday and appearing in the procession later that evening. The duo will also perform the song on ABC's "Windy City Live" Monday, which is when the song will be available for download (Reinhart didn't sing during her appearance on the show in August because her contract with "Idol" prevented her from performing outside of the tour).
Reinhart said "Baby, It's Cold Outside" holds a special place in her heart because she used to perform it with her musician father, Harry. Reinhart's dad, some of you might remember, played guitar during her "Idol" performance of Led Zeppelin's "What Is and What Should Never Be."
"My whole family made a Christmas album when I was about 12," Reinhard said. "We put together all these different holiday classics. … My dad and I sang 'Baby, It's Cold Outside,' and that was everybody's favorite around town. It was a quirky album. I was so happy to be able to bring that song back and make my dad proud."
In addition to recording the Christmas classic, Reinhart has been hard at work on her post-"Idol" debut album. She said she hopes to have the album done by the end of the year so that it can be released in the first quarter of next year.
"Right now I'm leaning toward a very retro, Motown sound from the '60s that has some hip-hop drum beats mixed in …" Reinhart said. "There's definitely soul in all of it. I really do like where it's going. I have a lot of fun doing the background (vocals) and everything else. I'm a huge fan of three-part harmonies — all the little things that make it a song."
Reinhart said the recording process takes up most of her time these days, but she expects to return home for Christmas as long as everything goes according to schedule. And it's a good thing, too, because Reinhart repeatedly mentioned how much she misses her family. Asked what she misses most about her hometown (other than her family and friends), Reinhart said:
"There's definitely a feeling of warmth in Chicago. … The people are welcoming. Nobody is trying to be something they're not. It is what it is."

Q: I'm a 56-year-old married woman, and as far as I can tell, I've been happily heterosexual all my life — until recently. For the past year, I've been thinking about a woman until I can no longer think about anything else. I have such powerful and authentic sexual feelings that I feel compelled to reveal myself to her, but I think she'd probably knock me out. We're both married to men, and she's a pretty prominent member in our community whom I've long respected, so there are also elements of danger and hero worship here. There are other reasons to leave this alone, but I'm having a hard time doing it. I just want her so desperately. I should add that I haven't been in an intimate relationship for a long time, as my husband was an alcoholic who's now recovering. But, when my desire returned, it wasn't for him; it was all for her! I have no idea what's happening. ARGGGH! I think I love her!
A: Too bad you aren't 19 and in college. You'd be free to take a little tour of the Isle of Lesbos, change your ringtone to "I Kissed A Girl," and come out to your parents (then maybe take it back a week later to date the cute guy you met at the GrrrlPower Rally). Unfortunately, once you're married, "experimenting" with somebody who isn't your spouse is called "cheating," regardless of whether you're "Chasing Amy" — or in your case, Chasing Amy's Mother.
I'm sure this woman is all that and a bag of Indigo Girls CDs, but she's also a convenient distraction from your difficult marriage already in progress. Adding to the fun is the drama: Your crush is smalltown famous, married, and has shown zero interest in you, women, or becoming a divorced woman with a girlfriend.
Of course, getting high on the prospect of forbidden love beats getting over to a marriage counselor: "It's raining, it's pouring, my marriage is boring!" Every time you moon over this woman, you're giving your brain's motivation and reward centers a hit of the feel-good neurotransmitter dopamine. In doing that, you're the cartoon horse with the carrot in front of its face, repeatedly engaging your brain in reward-seeking without reward-satisfaction, and revving an attraction into an obsession. Anthropologist Helen Fisher explains in "Why We Love": "When a reward is delayed, dopamine-producing cells in the brain increase their work, pumping out more of this natural stimulant to energize the brain, focus attention, and drive the pursuer to strive even harder to acquire a reward."
You get out of a habit the same way you get in: through repetition. Every time you don't let yourself think about this woman, it'll be a little easier to not think about her the next time. Of course, you can't just say "I'm not going to think about her." When you start, you need to shove the thoughts out of the way by engaging your memory and your speech (when you're talking and remembering, you can't also be obsessing). Have a substitute program at the ready: Recite the Cyrillic alphabet, run through the 50 states and their capitals, and move on to Canada if need be…whatever it takes to pry your mind off how dreamy her varicose veins look when the sun hits them.
This brain retraining will be really hard at first, and seem stupid and futile, but it should eventually take if you keep at it. And you do need to keep at it. Only when you stop being the lab rat pushing the little bar for the hit of middle-aged married woman will you have clarity on why looking at your husband sends you into a heterosexually vegetative state.
Now, maybe you are a lesbian late bloomer, bi-curious, or just bored-curious. But, it's possible that you're simply angry and resentful and maybe worried that your husband will go back on the sauce. While men can have sex without an emotional connection, women generally need to feel emotionally close to their partner first. You won't figure out what your deal is by chasing this woman around the hors d'oeuvres table but by taking a hard look at the man and the marriage you still have. You may need to forgive him in order to want him again. You may need more proof that he won't rekindle his affair with Jack Daniel and Mr. Cuervo. Or, you may need him to be a chick. In which case…sayonara. As successful as many people are in going to A.A. meetings and "humbly asking God to remove their shortcomings," it's best if those shortcomings are things like impulsivity and anger issues — not testicles.

Our proposed sorting mechanism depends very heavily on a particular random-walking mechanism that has not been demonstrated in literature before. The verification of this mechanism is thus a vital step in our research. Verification of the random walk in one dimension is fairly straightforward: as discussed in <LINK TO THE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN SECTION>, a one-dimensional track is easy to construct, and will behave like a standard 1D random walk, showing an average translation on the order of [math]n^{\frac{1}{2}}[/math] after n steps. Thus, we should expect the time it takes to get to some specific level of fluorescence to be proportional to the square of the number of steps we start the walker from the irreversible substrate. If we can, in an experiment, record the fluorescence over time when the walker is planted at different starting points and show that that fluorescence varies by this relationship, we'll have fairly certainly verified one-dimensional random walking.
Our particular case of 2D random walking, however, is not as easily understood, especially considering the mobility restrictions (ability to move to only 4 of 6 surrounding locations at any particular time) of our particular walker. As a control for the verification of 2D random walking, though, we still need to get an idea how long the random walk should take, and how that time will change as we start the walker at different points on the origami. We opt to do this by simulating the system with a set of movement rules derived from our design. We also use the same basic simulation (with a few alterations and extra features) to simulate our entire sorting system in a one-cargo, one-goal scenario, to give us some rudimentary numbers on how long sorting should take, with one vs multiple walkers.
Basic parameters and assumptions:
MATLAB Code
At the core of the simulation is a function which runs runs one random walk on an origami of specified size. It can run in both a cargo-bearing (one-cargo one-goal) and a purely random-walk mode. The former has cargo positions corresponding to our particular origami pre-programmed and starting with multiple (specified by user) walkers at random locations on the origami, and terminates when all of the cargos have been "sorted" to the goal location (the x axis). The latter runs one walker starting at a specified location, and terminates when that walker reaches the specified irreversible track location. The function returns a log of all walkers positions over time, a log reporting when cargos were picked up and dropped off, and a count of the number of steps the simulation took. This function is utilized by separate cargo-bearing and random-walk data collection programs that call the function many times over a range of parameters.
The function code (saved as randomWalkFunction.m):
Examining Errors in Origami
This code can be used to generate diagrams like those below, visualizing the mobility of the walker. One immediate question thus far unanswered is the vulnerability of this layout to errors in the laying of track. We investigate this by, when generating the track layout in the beginning of randomWalkFunction, introducing a small (specified by input) percent chance that any single track will be omitted. Error rates at around 10% are bearable; error rates greater than that, however, are catastrophic, causing walkers to become permanently trapped in small sections of the track field.
Random-Walk Simulation
The data we need from this simulator is a rough projection of the fluorescence response from our test of 2D random walking, which should change based on the starting location of the walker. Because this fluorescence is changed by a fluorophore-quencher interaction upon a walker reaching its irreversible track, in the case where we plant all of the walkers on the same starting track, the time it takes [math](fluorescence_{initial} - fluorescence_{current})[/math] in the sample to reach some standard value should be proportional to the average time it takes the walkers to reach the irreversible substrate. As this 'total steps elapsed' value is one of the outputs of our simulation function, we can generate a map of these average walk durations by running a large number of simulations at each point on the origami and averaging the results:
Results of the bulk data collection at right show that the average random-walk duration, and thus the time for [math](fluorescence_{initial} - fluorescence_{current})[/math] to reach some standard level, increases with distance, though it changes less significantly the farther out one gets. Also important to note is that the "effective distance" (in terms of steps) along the short axis of our platform is a significantly less than the same physical distance along the long axis. This difference is due to our arrangement of track A and B: as can be seen in the left half of the diagram at the end of the #Overview section, alternating tracks A and B create a straight vertical highway for the walker to follow. Horizontal movement, in contrast, cannot be accomplished by purely straight-line movement -- it requires a back-and-forth weave that makes motion in that direction slower. The disparity in "effective distances" between the vertical and horizontal dimensions is something, in particular, that we should test for; however, a simple series of tests running random walks at a variety of points across the surface, and the comparison of the resulting fluorescence data to the control provided by this simulation should be sufficient to prove that our walker can, indeed, perform a 2D random walk.
Cargo Sorting Simulation
This simulation investigates both the overall tractability of our sorting problem, and the degree to which it can be parallelized via the addition of multiple walkers onto a single origami. It runs by making repeated calls to randomWalkFunction in its cargo-bearing mode, testing the number of steps it takes to sort all five cargos to respective goals over a range of number of cooperating walkers.
While a single walker takes over a thousand steps to complete the sorting challenge, the addition of even a single walker vastly decreases the completion time, and additional walkers decrease it further, until a critical point is reached where the walkers are more getting in the way than helping with the sorting process. This is visible in the positive slope visible in the diagram at right that starts at around the 20 walker point.

I am running the latest version for my FAT Classic PSP, and I need to know in what folder do I need to copy my games images?
When I launch ScummVM, it does not show any games (when I browse for them that is)
Any help is really appreciated.
In the memory stick of your psp, you can create a Directory in the root and you can name it scumm game, there you can drop all the games you have and then in the emulator look for that directory to select the game you want to add to the scumm list.Last edited by tecmanpr on Sun Aug 10, 2008 3:03 am; edited 1 time in total
Not sure if it works on an old psp but you can put the games in any directory of your psp but it is better to put all game folders in one folder.
It can be any folder as far as I'm concerned, you just need to find that folder when adding games to SCUMMVM.

Everything You Know About Addiction Is Wrong (TED TALK)
Johann Eduard Hari, a well-known British journalist, shares some very interesting thoughts and facts about the current "mainstream" understanding of addictions. Having seen our current treatment methods fail firsthand, watching loved ones struggle, he began to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do, if that treatment is ethical, and if there might be a better way. His questions took him on an incredible journey around the world, uncovering some surprising and new insights on the way we think about this problem which has plagued huamn beings for decades.
Is everything we know about addiction wrong? For example, one fact Hari touches upon is the long held belief that certain drugs, like herioin, for example, have chemical hooks in them that make you addicted – meaning if you take them for a period of time your body would become chemically dependant on those hooks. They create a physical dependancy which result in addiction.
Although this may be partly true, we have failed to look at more important factors, like the role of consciousness, and how we perceive the world and our environment in our current human experience.
"The first thing that alerted me to the fact that there's something not right with this story was the fact that, if I step out of this TED talk today and get hit by a car and I break my hip, I'll be taken to the hospital and be given loads of diamorphin. Diamorphin is heroin. It is medically pure, better than the stuff you get on the streets. You'll be given it for quite a long period of time, there are loads of people in this room who may not realize that you've taken quite a lot of herion, and if what we believe about addiction is right, those people are exposed to all of those chemical hooks, what should happen? They should become addicts. This has been studied very carefully, it doesn't happen. You would have noticed if your grandmother had a hip replacement, she didn't come out as a junkie. When I learned this, it was just so contrary to everything I've been taught, to everything I thought I knew."
He then goes on to speak of an experiment that was used decades ago which explains our current thinking about addiction, one that dominates the world of re-habilitation and medicine. The experiment involved putting a rat in a cage and then giving it two options: water laced with cocaine (and other drugs), or normal water. The rat(s) always chose the drugged water, overdosed, and died. And there you have it, simple as that, right?
Wrong. It is far more complex than a simple black and white theory. What if you gave the rat something else to do (fun, friends, toys, good food, and a healthy environment) while still having both options of water? You'll have to listen to find out. He then goes on to talk about a major human experiment which completely defies the chemical hook theory.
Is it about our environment? Our bonds, our connections, and our access to fulfilling, enjoyable activities? Is it about how we think about and perceive the world around us? Is it because we are not being nourished (mentally and spiritually)?
"I believe the core part of addiction is, and what I think the evidence suggests, is about not being able to bear to be present in your life."
From there, the talk gets even more interesting (I'll let you listen to the rest), and will definitely give you something to think about when it comes to addiction. Perhaps it's information you can use if you or someone you know struggles with this problem.
I think this TED talk further illustrates that the current human experience is not a natural one; it's one that does not resonate with our soul and we've drifted far from an experience that can nourish what really needs to be nourished. Addiction is a great exmaple of this problem, whether it be to drugs, food, porn, video games, or anything else. As a result of our environment, which is not a healthy one, we turn to harmful means to help us cope with what we don't feel good about in our lives. Think about it, what are we all doing on this planet? We go to school, get a job, and then (most of us) spend our entire lives working at something we are not passionate about, just in order to survive, while neglecting what truly ignites our souls.
The most startling thing about it all is the fact that it doesn't have to be this way. Our entire human experience could change into a way of life that nourishes the soul, where everybody has their needs met without sacrificing the health of the earth in the process. We could live in harmony with the planet and all its creatures. This "utopian" type of existence is very possible, and it's a simple concept. Sometimes I feel like the simplicity of this vision is what prevents people from imagining its fulfillment.

Reader Email: Is Trump Legitimately Working To Take Down The Deep State?
In Brief
- The Facts:
A reader sent a passionate email after reading one of my articles. This email contained many important questions about how we look at Donald Trump (and others like Hillary Clinton) that I felt would allow me to give clarity and nuance to my message.
- Reflect On:
Is it necessary to ignore one person's character flaws in order to get behind efforts to take down the Deep State? Is it important to identify a 'savior' here, or can we see it as more of a collective awakening within which we are all participants?
The following email came from a reader who brought up some very important concerns about Donald Trump and his role in fighting for justice on behalf of women (combating sex trafficking, for example) and taking down the Deep State. I thought that it would be worthwhile to publish my response to this email since I thought that many readers may have similar concerns and questions, and Sharine graciously consented. Below, I have broken up her email into several sections so I can respond one section at a time, but please note that her words were all sent in a single email:
Hi Richard!
My name is Sharine and I am fairly new (summer 2018) to the Collective Evolution site. I became a member last month.
Today, I read your article "Many Insiders Believe Military Tribunals For Deep State Will Happen Any Time Now," and I have some questions and concerns that you may or may not have time to address, but I feel compelled to share anyway!
First, I feel that I grasp a basic understanding of the Deep State, mostly from reading on CE and watching both David Wilcock's "Disclosure" interview and Joe Martino's video about the illusion and the cycle of the cabal in politics.
Second, I want to disclose that I am a cis-gender female survivor of sexual assault at the age of 52, sexual harassment throughout my whole life, and an attempted rape at the age of 15. This is important to my concerns.
That said, here goes:
Why would enlightened beings set up our world so that men as hideous as Donald J. Trump and possibly Brett Kavanaugh would be the people I am to trust to take down the Deep State and begin to cripple the cabal?
R: First off, the contention that Donald J. Trump is 'hideous' is a matter of opinion, and when you say 'possibly' Brett Kavanaugh, I take you to mean he is 'possibly' hideous (rather than 'possibly' someone you should trust). Nonetheless, let's focus on Trump for this question: is it likely that Donald Trump has had sex with prostitutes, been unfaithful with partners, acted and spoke in a 'macho' way at times, lied in business and in relationships, cheated on his taxes and otherwise did many unethical and illegal things in business? Yes. Some people may feel this makes him hideous, fair enough. But we have to look at the context.
In the article you read, we were discussing a Deep State that indulges in sex and slave trafficking, human mind-control and experimentation, the sexual abuse, torture and murder of children, as well as war, genocide and mass disease creation in the world. Assuming, as I do, that Donald Trump does not do any of these things, and his greatest crimes are those mentioned above, then if we call him hideous then have we left ourselves with any proportionate adjective to describe perpetrators within the Deep State?
To your main question about enlightened beings, who I take to refer to higher-dimensional positive beings that are fostering human evolution from a higher density, I would say: Why not Donald Trump? If it were some kind of perfect Jesus-type character, would we not feel somewhat disconnected from any positive actions that would be brought, and simply have a new idol to follow? True, some people do idolize Trump, but that is the unhelpful extreme in the other direction, because we have to move past idolatry and see ourselves as all being in this struggle together, each having to acknowledge our own darkness and inadequacies while not giving up our push towards enlightenment. In having a fallible, flawed person leading the charge to take down the Deep State, we may not have an 'inspiring' leader at the helm, but it becomes much easier to look past him and see the takedown of the Deep State as the fruits of the collective efforts of thousands, if not tens of thousands of patriotic men and women of integrity, an effort ultimately grounded in the collective consciousness of humanity as a whole.
I want the demise as much as any loving human, but that's a big, nasty, jagged, bright "red pill" to swallow. It's like saying it's okay that Trump is an admitted sexual assaulter and racist, misogynistic homophobe but it's not okay that Clinton turned a blind eye to sex trafficking (or whatever it is CE claims about her) because he's going to save the day.
R: I would challenge your assertion as 'fact' that Trump is an 'admitted sexual assaulter.' I don't think Trump has ever admitted to being a sexual assaulter. As far as being a racist, misogynistic homophobe: I haven't seen any evidence that Trump is either a racist or a homophobe. Is he misogynistic? A misogynist is defined as "a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women." I don't get the impression that Trump is this way at all. Certainly, he may have long been an egocentric, macho, privileged white male who puts himself above woman, but I believe this stems from personal insecurity rather than an actual hatred.
Whether or not you have to be 'okay' with who Donald Trump actually is, is your own personal matter. You don't have to be 'okay' with Donald Trump in order to want the Deep State taken down, even if you do believe as we do that Trump is serving a role (certainly not leading) this takedown. In the bigger picture, though, our destiny as human beings is to be 'okay' with whatever IS, with the TRUTH, and seek not to resist the truth, but fight against those whose agenda is to hide the truth.
Which brings us to Hillary Clinton. I have to say that personally I am 'okay' with Hillary Clinton, because as a matter of spiritual practice I believe that everything is as it should be in our world for the evolution of humanity to be served. That said, I strongly believe that revealing the truth about who Hillary Clinton is will serve that evolution, and if this truth is revealed then it will be plain as day that she needs to be removed from our society. It is only because of the immense power of the Deep State that Hillary Clinton is not in jail right now.
If the Deep State was not protecting her, you or I could have her indicted on several crimes simply based on the information that's in the public domain, let alone the hordes of more sensitive information that is hidden. Just off the top of my head, evidence is out there demonstrating that she allowed diplomats to be killed at the Benghazi embassy because they were beginning to resist the gun trafficking operation there, leaked confidential information on an illegal private server to China which led to the death or incarceration of at least a dozen CIA officers embedded there, illegally took over the Democratic National Committee in order to defeat Bernie Sanders who otherwise would have won the nomination, was involved in (not necessarily 'running') a pedophilia operation in Washington, and is highly implicated in the staggering number of murders of people who were investigating the Clinton Foundation, which itself is well known to be linked to illegal activities.
Didn't Clinton inspire women and men all across the USA to stand for things like universal healthcare and other good stuff, while Trump inspires hatred and anger?
R: Clinton may have inspired some women and men in her rise to power as a woman in American politics, but I don't believe she cared about inspiring people except to the point that it got her elected and gave her power. There are many women in politics who fight for the truth and are positive role models, such as Cynthia McKinney and Tulsi Gabbard, whom I have written about. To equate supporters of Clinton as supporters of women and non-supporters of Clinton (or supporters of Trump) as non-supporters of women is one of the most egregious and sinister points of perception that has been carefully crafted by mainstream media, and easy to fall prey to. Plain and simple, I believe Hillary Clinton is a modern-day Lady Macbeth. I believe her whole public face is an act and a deception, that she is part of the Deep State and guilty of some of the most horrific crimes imaginable to humanity, including the sexual abuse, torture, and murder of children.
As for Trump inspiring hatred and anger, it is important to observe that since Trump came into office intent on helping a huge alliance of patriots take down the Deep State, all the Deep State flunkies in politics, Hollywood, and mainstream media have done is everything they can to invoke anger and hatred upon him. Earlier in his presidency, there were over half a dozen celebrities who all suddenly tried to seed the idea of Trump getting killed into the minds of people (you'll recall the Kathy Griffin photo below among others). Who is truly inspiring anger and hatred here? If you can separate Donald Trump from the campaign to demonize him that has been relentless and ongoing through mainstream media, you may find that Donald Trump himself is not inspiring as much hatred and anger as it seems.
Isn't the cabal in existence to restrict and eventually deny freedom and well-being for women, vulnerable populations, the poor, the Earth itself and its inhabitants?
R: They are not in existence to restrict and deny freedom as such, but only to the extent that it serves our evolution. That is why their ultimate plans of world domination will fail. From the point of view of the higher realms, when it gets to the point that the cabal no longer serves our evolution, then it is time for them to disband. But their disbanding is not going to happen if we stay asleep as a collective. Humanity must act, and take back its power through an awakening of consciousness.
I guess what I'm saying is, the physical world matters, too, so why would the forces of light and love in the Universe demand that I overlook abuse and corruption by one person, but not another? I'm confused.
R: I agree that the physical world matters too. The forces of light and love are not asking you to overlook one thing and not another; there is no need to overlook the 'truth' about either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, but rather to separate the 'truth' from the propaganda and deception. In a way, it is a good practice of consciousness to embrace some ambiguity, because human life is filled with ambiguity and we need to embrace it rather than gravitating towards one polarity or the other. The idea that Donald Trump is a deeply flawed man who has done things in his past that would not endear him to women, and the idea that in his current position of considerable power he would like to do what he can for the freedom, safety, and standing of women in society are not mutually exclusive statements. There's ambiguity, but not contradiction.
It seems to me that this premise is asking me to dismiss the very real-world fact that my teenage brother's best friend tried to rape me in my own home, when what he did was wrong. His negative energy caused darkness in the Universe, just as it is wrong for Trump to openly mock a disabled person, and a woman who claims to have been sexually assaulted, and a female reporter who was simply asking him a question, and on and on.
R: It's important to notice where you may be building a chain of assumptions on a flawed premise. You use the word 'dismiss' here, and nobody is asking you to dismiss something real that happened to you. You have the freedom to hold its 'wrongness' for the rest of your life. That being said, your only hope of healing from this event will be through forgiveness, and rising above the power you may still be giving to this event. I recently interviewed Anneke Lucas, a survivor of the horrors of Satanic ritual and sexual abuse within an elite Belgian pedophile network between the ages of 6 and 11. In the interview she is beautifully able to express and exemplify the need for forgiveness and acceptance in a healing process that is anything but a 'dismissal' of the experiences she went through. CE will be broadcasting this 4-hour interview in November and it may be one of the best and most elegant explorations into the healing process available for women who have been sexually abused.
In terms of the wrongness of things that Trump does, like openly mock a disabled person (which seems to have been presented out of context by mainstream media, but no matter) it is important to make a distinction between condoning and accepting. By standing firm in your principles you do not condone those acts which go against those principles, and when it is something that is directed at you personally it is important to take actions that appropriately show that you do not condone such behavior. However, to not accept that it happened, (whether it involves Trump openly mocking a woman who has been sexually assaulted, or your brother's best friend's attempted rape) by continuing to be angry and upset about it, or feeling that punishment needs to be meted out in order for you to let go of the power it has over you, is self-defeating. When you hold Trump's words and actions to have emotional power over you, that is what you are doing.
Are you saying that disabled people ought to be made fun of? That Dr. Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh's other accusers — and women like me — are lying? That women should be "negged"? That taking away a woman's right to care for her own body is a good thing? Because I don't know how this is light and love on any plane of existence. And if it is, can't we also say that the cabal is okay, too? War is peace? Hatred is love? Rape is consent?
R: Of course I am not saying that disabled people ought to be made fun of. Having said that, I truly believe our course of action as evolving individuals is to work towards a greater sense of self so that we become immune to insults and slights. In my article 'Let's Discard The 'Right' To Be Insulted By Free Speech,' I make the point that being insulted or made fun of does not say anything substantial about us, it only says something about the person saying the insult. Each of us having this clear perception is what will virtually put an end to 'disrespectful' speech.
Putting yourself in the same group as Dr. Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh's other accusers is a dangerous leap, as it shows how you may be projecting your story onto other people and then suffering when they are not being believed. Do I think Dr. Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh's other accusers are lying? On the strength of the evidence I've seen, yes. Either lying or having had their minds tampered with. Do I think you are lying? No. There is ample evidence and reasons to believe that Kavanaugh's accusers were brought forward by Deep State forces to created a narrative out of either sketchy or even non-existent memories. There is no reason for you to lie and no reason for me to doubt you.
I assume I don't need to answer whether I think women should be "negged" or whether taking away a woman's right to care for her own body is a good thing. As far as us saying the cabal is okay? Yes, at the highest level we must accept that they are here to play a role in our evolution. And having said that, our evolution is now hinging on our capacity to defeat them and remove them from power. And that includes rejecting their Orwellian Doublespeak perception-benders like 'War is peace,' 'Hatred is love,' 'Rape is consent' and use our discernment of the falseness of these slogans to lead us to the truth.
And in the end, then, what are we working toward, if not for true peace and love on our shared home, Earth?
R: True peace and love on Earth is certainly our goal, but in a deeper sense our goal is evolving towards that by choice, rather than having it given to us. Otherwise, we would have stayed in the Garden of Eden and not eaten from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. I wrote a 7-part series on Lucifer that goes into this matter in much greater depth. In our journey back to love and peace, then, the darkness is our ally, and helps us return to unity with greater freedom, and a greater ability to create a future world in our highest shared image.
Thanks for your consideration. I won't bother you again!
Dear Sharine, thank you for your honest and heart-felt questions and the opportunity to respond to them. The time and space I have had to answer your questions is limited, and it's difficult to say things in writing that are better served in a one-on-one conversation. I sincerely hope that I have not missed the nuance of some of your points, nor that I appear to be marginalizing the suffering that you have gone through in your life. I believe the healing of women who have suffered abuse at the hands of men will be one of the pre-eminent beacons for our collective evolution.
I wish you all the best of healing, light, and learning in this journey we are sharing together.
The Takeaway
It is important for each one of us to recognize when we are making assumptions that deviate from the truth, and thus lead to incorrect conclusions. Our battle is not truly a political one, though it is manifesting in the political arena. Our battle is one of consciousness. There is no need to hoist any particular person in the public eye into the role of 'savior,' or dismiss their human flaws in order to get behind their efforts to bring about the revelation of truth.
Our own awakening to the truth that lies beyond false perceptions is how we must participate. And part of this awakening involves acknowledging our pain, both our individual pain and our collective trauma, and recognizing our part of the responsibility in how we create and maintain this pain within ourselves. The brave act of healing, founded on forgiveness and a simple acceptance of that which is, inevitably will help us see the truth more easily and naturally, and will ground us in the creation of a life of 'true peace and love on our shared home, Earth.'

Some Cities Now Threatening Jail Time & Fines For Kids Over 12 Who Go Trick-Or-Treating
In Brief
- The Facts:
Some cities in Virginia have reminded the public of the laws associated with Halloween night. Children over 12 caught trick or treating can be fined or receive jail time.
- Reflect On:
Are we robbing the innocence of children and their fun with laws like this? Is this truly a law we want to have in place? Will it lead to even more liberty loss? Are these laws a result of the fact they are happening in 'The Bible Belt' of America?
Halloween has adapted over the ages from once being an ancient Celtic celebration of Samhain (marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year) to being 'Christianized' in the west as a time that begins the three day observance of All Saints' Eve (Halloween), All Saints' Day (All Hallows') and All Souls' Day, that dates between October 31st to November 2nd. This trifecta is a time intended to remember the dead, including martyrs, saints, and all faithful departed Christians.
Of course today, most in society have strayed far from the intended traditional sense of the day to a more commercialized, fun having approach.
We now choose to participate in Halloween as a family friendly time, dressing up and going door-to-door in our neighbourhood and accepting candy, otherwise known as trick or treating. Aside from the chemicals laden in the candies that are dished out, this time of the year can be pretty harmless for a child, given they are accompanied by an adult and not trotting around in a dangerous area.
Times, Laws, & Guidelines For Halloween in Hampton Roads Virginia
HrScrene is a website considered to be a hub for the people who reside in the Hampton Roads area in Virginia that keeps residents up to date on any happenings in local cities or important information news and even information. Earlier this month, hrScene notified Virginia of the local guidelines that residents are expected to abide by on the night of Halloween.
Each of the nine city's guidelines explicitly state that no child above the age of 12 is allowed to participate in trick or treating and that no child can trick-or-treat after 8pm. A child of 13 years of age is allowed to accompany a 'younger child' but cannot participate in anything remotely similar to trick or treating, including dressing up if you're living in Newport News,
Sec. 28-5. – Prohibited trick-or-treat activities.
(a) If any person beyond the seventh grade of school or over twelve (12) years of age shall engage in the activity commonly known as "trick or treat" or any other activity of similar character or nature under any name whatsoever, such person shall be guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting any parent, guardian or other responsible person having lawfully in his custody a child twelve (12) years old or younger, from accompanying such child who is playing "trick or treat" for the purpose of caring for, looking after or protecting such child. However, no accompanying parent or guardian shall wear a mask of any type.
In Portsmouth, if any child under the age of 12 is out trick-or-treating after 8pm, they can be guilty of a class 3 misdemeanor, a fine of not more than $500, while most of the other city's will delve out a class 4 misdemeanor, a fine of no more than $250.
(b) If any person shall engage in the activity commonly known as "trick or treat" or any name whatsoever after 8:00 p.m., he shall be guilty of a class 3 misdemeanor.
In the City of Hampton, on the night of October 31st, if you're under the age of 18 it is considered unlawful to be out past 10pm an in some cases 11pm.
It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of fourteen (14) years to be present on any street, road, alley, avenue, park or other public place in the city, or in any vehicle operating or parked thereon, between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless accompanied by his/her parent or guardian or unless such minor is on an emergency errand or legitimate business directed by his parent or guardian or is engaged in a lawful employment or going directly to the place of such employment or returning directly to his place of residence from the place of such employment.
It shall be unlawful for any person over the age of thirteen (13) years but under the age of eighteen (18) years to be present on any street, road, alley, avenue, park or other public place in the city, or in any vehicle operating or parked thereon, between the hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless accompanied by his/her parent or guardian or unless such minor is on an emergency errand or legitimate business directed by his parent or guardian or is engaged in a lawful employment or going directly to the place of such employment or returning directly to his place of residence from the place of such employment.
Perhaps one of the worst city codes is that of Chesapeake, if you're over 12 years old and/or 12 years old and still trick or treating after 8pm, you can potentially be confined in jail for up to six months.
Sec. 46-8. – Trick-or-treat activities.(a) If any person over the age of 12 years shall engage in the activity commonly known as "trick or treat" or any other activity of similar character or nature under any name whatsoever, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $25.00 nor more than $100.00 or by confinement in jail for not more than six months or both.
(b) If any person shall engage in the activity commonly known as "trick or treat" or any other activity of similar character or nature under any name whatsoever after 8:00 p.m., he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $10.00 nor more than $100.00 or by confinement in jail for not more than 30 days or both.

Will This Actually Be Implemented?
Naturally, this information has a lot of parents and other young adults rearing in confusion. Since when was a 13 year old not considered a child, or even a 16 year old for that matter? Who decided that it was unacceptable for young people to participate in the most known Halloween tradition of trick or treating?
In my first year of college, a friend and I decided that instead of going to a party the night of Halloween, that we could instead go trick or treating. We threw together some form of a costume and trotted from door to door and were always met with happiness. We assumed this was because we were adults, not a likely sight to see on a doorstep reciting, "trick or treat!"
In none of the codes does it include what would happen in a scenario where a teenager with an intellectual or developmental disability went trick or treating. It also doesn't mention whether a minor is expected to have a form of ID on them. Does this put children at risk of being interrogated and being fearful of law enforcement rather than allowing for a child to get a sense of community by witnessing their town coming together to celebrate Halloween?
Law enforcement of York County assured a mother who recently moved to the area that they will not be arresting anyone the night of Halloween, further confirming the lunacy of these laws.
I decided to question why these laws would be implemented to begin with. Virginia does fall into the 'Bible Belt' an "informal region in the Southern United States in which socially conservative evangelical Protestantism plays a strong role in society and politics. Christian church attendance across these denominations are generally higher than the nation's average," according to Wikipedia's definition. Christians seem to be divided when it comes to whether or not they should celebrate Halloween, but Thessalonians explicitly states,
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
And then I thought to myself, well, perhaps these areas are considered 'unsafe' and known for teenagers wreaking havoc on the night of October 31st.
According to the article These Are The 10 Most Dangerous Cities In Virginia For 2019, published October 11th 2018, 3 of the 9 cities enforcing these laws (Portsmouth, Norfolk, Newport News) are considered 'dangerous'. The basis of criteria they used to determine which city was most dangerous was violent crimes per capita and property crimes per capita.
Portsmouth made the top of the list by being number 1 with property crimes and number 2 with violent crimes. But when it comes to the night of Halloween, the worst they'll give out to a child trick treating after 8pm or one trick or treating over the age of 12 is a class 3 misdemeanour.
The worst penalty, in my opinion, is that of the city of Chesapeake. The law suggests a child could actually go to jail if they don't abide by the codes being enforced which would lead me to assume it's probably not a safe place to live except that this article, Is Chesapeake Virginia A Safe Place To Live? actually uses the word 'boring' to describe the nature of the town, or more so, fighting that notion.
The Takeaway
The issue isn't so much about these ordinances but rather what route our youth are being led to. Media today is exposing our children to a world that is hyper-sexualized and overtly emotional. The internet often pokes fun at millennials with memes giving examples of how awkward they were when they were 12 or 14, and how today's youth is skipping that stage and going right into adulthood.
We don't have to look hard to see how the innocence of a child is being hijacked by societal 'norms.' These codes being enforced is alarming because it's exposing how obvious this governmental objective truly is. Should we have to fight for children to be children? Halloween is just the beginning and it's up to us on whether not we'd like to participate in the robbing of our children's innocence.

A Jury's $289 Million Verdict Against Monsanto Might Be Overturned By The Judge
In Brief
- The Facts:
Dewayne Johnson was the defendant in the first lawsuit to go to trial alleging glyphosate causes cancer. He ended up winning and was awarded nearly $300 million. Now, the judge is threatening to overturn the decision made by the jury.
- Reflect On:
How can corporations like Monsanto get government regulatory agencies to constantly approve products where an uncountable amount of research and science has proven them to be harmful to human health, as well as to the environment?
Not long ago, school groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson became involved in the very first lawsuit to go to trial alleging glyphosate causes cancer. The case made global headlines when the jury at San Francisco's Superior Court of California deliberated for three days before finding that Monsanto had failed to warn Johnson and other consumers of the cancer risks posed by its weed killers. We've seen the same issue with similar substances like DDT, which was sprayed for years before it was finally banned decades ago. The unfortunate thing is that DDT is still highly present in the environment and in our soil, and is a catalyst for many diseases. Are we seeing the same thing with Glyphosate?
The court ended up awarding $39 million in compensation and $250 million in punitive damages. It's also vital to mention that Monsanto, now a unit of Bayer AG following a $62.5 billion acquisition by the German conglomerate, faces more than 5,000 similar lawsuits across the United States.
Grounds For Reversal?
Now, just two months after jurors made the decision in favor of Johnson, who is dying of cancer, the judge suddenly has an issue with the amount and might overrule the decision. Again, Johnson is one of the thousands of cancer patients that are taking Monsanto to trial. The judge is apparently calling for a new trial, and she has now granted Monsanto a request for a JNOW on a tentative basis. A JNOW is a judgement notwithstanding the verdict. This is basically when a judge in a civil case overrules the jury's decision.
This is extremely confusing, isn't it? What prompted the judge to do this, and did Monsanto have anything to do with it? And even if the judge denies Monsanto's request to drop the $250 million fine, the Court would grant a new trial on the grounds of 'insufficiency of evidence' to justify the award for punitive damages–this after the evidence was found to be quite sufficient at the time.
Even the jurors are speaking out, according to CTV news:
Jurors who found that agribusiness giant Monsanto's Roundup weed killer contributed to a school groundskeeper's cancer are urging a San Francisco judge not to throw out the bulk of their $289 million award in his favour, a newspaper reported Monday.
Stock Drop
Shares in Bayer, which bought Monsanto as mentioned earlier, dropped immediately after the original decision and hasn't risen since. It's still trading at approximately 30 percent below its pre-verdict value. The statement given by Bayer after the initial decision does its best to restore confidence in their product:
The jury's decision is wholly at odds with over 40 years of real-world use, an extensive body of scientific data and analysis…which support the conclusion that glyphosate-based herbicides are safe for use and do not cause cancer in humans. (source)
This statement strongly goes against the statements made by thousands of scientists across the world.
"It is commonly believed that Roundup is among the safest pesticides… Despite its reputation, Roundup was by far the most toxic among the herbicides and insecticides tested. This inconsistency between scientific fact and industrial claim may be attributed to huge economic interests, which have been found to falsify health risk assessments and delay health policy decisions." – R. Mesnage et al., Biomed Research International, Volume 2014 (2014) article ID 179691
Keep in mind that the use of glyphosate rose 1500% from 1995 to 2005, and that 100 million pounds of glyphosate is used every year on more than a billion acres. (Cherry, B., "GM crops increase herbicide use in the United States," Science in Society 45, 44-46, 2010) (source)
Years Of Activism
The alarming thing is that for decades, scientists, activist groups and environmental/health awareness groups have been creating awareness and presenting the science explaining how and why Monsanto's glyphosate (the main ingredient in their Roundup herbicide) causes cancer, among other diseases. Despite the fact that this has been happening for years, the political stranglehold these corporations have on governmental regulatory agencies has prevented this information from being taken seriously.
If the truth was widely known it would result in an unfathomable drop in profit for Monsanto's products which contain glyphosate, but mostly in North America. Many countries have completely banned the ingredient and other Monsanto products, due to clear links to diseases like cancer and kidney disease, for example. In fact, most of the products manufactured by Monsanto and other giant North American biotech companies are completely banned and illegal in many other countries.
It makes you wonder how such a substance can go through the review process, whatever it is, and still be approved for use. Monsanto has been sued many times; in fact one lawsuit unearthed documents showing how Monsanto misled regulators and scientists to speed up approval for the development of genetically modified foods. You can read more about that here. So, the science itself becomes subject to fraud when power and money are applied. Roundup herbicide is over one hundred times more toxic than regulators claim. And a new study published in the journal Biomedical Research International showed how Roundup herbicide is 125 times more toxic than its active ingredient glyphosate studied in isolation. You can read more about that here.
We are talking about clear hormone disrupters and clear catalysts for cancer. Decades of science and scientific fraud that's been exposed has forced the World Health Organisation, a major hub of the establishment that seems to regulate the shady industry of health, to finally admit that glyphosate, like cigarettes, processed foods and meats, is carcinogenic.
Clear Injustice
This judge's reversal will end up having enormous financial and reputational repercussions for the corporation, and it seems obvious that she has been influenced by power and money. The truth is, if you take the scientific evidence, as well as clear evidence of scientific fraud and corruption by these corporate and government agencies (who are constantly in collusion with one another), there is no jury on the planet that would not reach a guilty verdict. That's because the evidence is quite clear, which is why if this decision was going to be reversed, it would have to be the Judge over-ruling the jury's decision.
This verdict proves that when ordinary citizens, in this case a jury of 12, hear the facts about Monsanto's products, and the lengths to which this company has gone to buy off scientists, deceive the public and influence government regulatory agencies, there is no confusion." – Ronnie Cummins, International Director of the organic consumers association
At the end of the day, we are the ones using these products and we are the ones voting with our dollar. That being said, it completely goes against our free will and interests for products to be approved that are obviously completely unsafe. It's unfortunate that those who choose not to use these products or be near them, still end up with it in our system. The fact that Monsanto can still somehow fight this and provide evidence means our work is not yet done.
The Takeaway
The work of many brave activists has brought awareness to the severe health risks of glyphosate and Roundup, but to honor all their efforts we must continue to spread awareness about these corporate crimes until the time comes when these chemicals have been removed from all corners of the Earth.
