Creative talents
Edoardo De Ruggiero was born and raised in Rome, Italy, where he started taking pictures on movie sets. He then moved to Paris where he focused on fashion and fine arts.
After a period of intense work in New York City as post-production art director, Edoardo settled back to Europe and started working with an associate to form a creative duo.
After this period, he focused on his own photography. Since then he has shot assignments for magazines and brands, released the book ‘Mari e Monti’ who has been awarded at the International Kessel Photographic Festival and shot ‘Garde à Vous’, a short documentary who has been screened in festivals around France.

How to Build Customer Trust While Enabling Personalization Technologies
6 min read By Matt Bushell, Sr. Director, Product Marketing
Published on July 27, 2021 in Blog, Business
It’s no secret that consumers can be wary of companies seeking to collect their online personal data. They may worry about how the data will be used, who will have access to it, and if the data will be kept secure from fraudsters.
This lack of trust can be a headache for many different types of companies – such as ad tech companies – that rely on the data to deliver more personalized experiences. It may hinder them from cost-effectively and efficiently using more individualized information to reach their strategic and business goals.
Dave Pickles, CTO and co-founder of The Trade Desk, an ad technology platform, says that there are key ways, however, to still enable personalization while reassuring customers. Speaking at the Aerospike Digital Summit 2021, Pickles says those keys are:
Keeping consumers better informed about how their information is being used
Simplifying the message about how and when the data is used
Providing better security
Pickles explains that as major browsers like Chrome and Safari begin phasing out third-party cookies because of consumer privacy concerns, new challenges have arisen about how to continue to target consumers effectively. He says his primary concern from this development is that more logins will be required to various websites, and that will lead to less specificity for advertising or marketing campaigns.
“The less precise you are with targeting, the more waste there is,” he says. “Then, to get the same result for the advertiser, the CPMs (cost per thousand impressions) are just going to come down. I think the inevitable reaction to that for a premium content producer is to put up a wall of some kind, at least for part of their content.”
That brings a bigger hurdle to Pickles’ mind: the future of the Internet.
“I don’t want to have to log in separately to every website. I don’t want every website to send me spam. That seems like a downgrade. It just seems like we’re breaking the whole Internet, in a way, in order to get this sort of extreme position on privacy,” he says.
Pickles says this dilemma led to the birth of Unified ID 2.0, a second version of Unified ID, an open-source sign-on solution. It’s an offshoot of Project Rearc, an industry collaboration to re-architect digital marketing that was introduced by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).
“What IAB has basically been saying is, ‘Hey, we’re so dependent on the browsers. The browsers control everything. Shouldn’t we have a solution that is separate from that? If we did that, could we actually do a better job of explaining how it works to the consumer?'” Pickles says.
Pickles says that he believes that the pressure on eliminating cookies is due to the fact that it’s a difficult concept to understand, much less explain, and it offers no control over the movement of data.
That’s why instead of focusing on trying to solve the cookie deprecation dilemma, Pickles says his company wanted to look at how the Internet should work. “It’s an upgrade that we’re using hashing and encryption to create better security,” he says. “It’s a way to make the Internet function better.”
Pickles says the “ironclad principles” of the solution are:
Security and privacy. “We’re going to tell consumers what’s going to happen. We’re going to ask them if it’s okay. They’re going to have the right to vote. It’s going to be an honest conversation about the quid pro quo, the Internet. Content is not free. I need to monetize it somehow. How do you want me to do it? We’ll just go ahead and have that conversation,” he says. This is a marked difference from cookies, which make it difficult to offer transparency, choice, and control, he says.
Open-source. “We wanted to make sure that we – nor anyone else – didn’t try to turn this into sort of a proprietary land grab, a way to lock down and tax the Internet,” he says. “By being open source, by creating interoperability, we’ve been able to bring a lot of people in to collaborate. If anyone tried to commercialize it, I think they would have run to their corners and built their own solutions or whatever. Then we wouldn’t have been able to create this kind of value for the consumer.”
Independent governance. While ad-tech governance has been effective, Pickles says it’s clear that it needs to be improved. “This means a strict code of conduct. It means you’re going to be subject to audit most likely if you’re dealing with this data. I think it’s just a really good thing to make sure that we continue to do the right thing for consumers,” he says.
In addition, by eliminating the need to log in to every website and instead using one identification system, consumers can better control who gets their email address, clearly understand what’s happening to their data and make decisions about whether that data can be used or not, he says.
From the platform viewpoint, Pickles believes there will need to be a more layered approach to determining what consumers are doing online. Even consumers who do opt in for a Unified ID program are not going to do it on every website every time.
“There’s going to be this traffic that you now have to understand. In some other way, it’s very similar to what we’ve all done with probabilistic cross-device, where you’ve got a deterministic spine of data that lets you extrapolate into the rest of it. But we’ve all got a whole bunch of work to do to make this make sense for our customers,” he says.
The good news is that Pickles says there’s already a lot of support in the industry for Unified ID (UID) 2.0, and “fast progress” means that if cookies do vanish in 2022, a solution is ready. In addition, consumers are enthusiastic about understanding and controlling their data, he says.
Pickles says the other bit of good news is that UID 2.0 will eliminate cookie mapping for platform builders, which sucked up a lot of computing power. However, there is likely to be more complex commercial and regulatory rules around how and where consumer IDs are used.
“I think there’s going to be much more pressure on your Aerospike cluster to probably store more metadata, more versions of the same profile that are a little more separated,” he says. “You can’t just kind of pool it all together in a master profile and then separate it out later.”
Pickles says that his company believes it’s important to have a holistic view of advertising and marketing capabilities – across mobile, apps, billboards, television, subscription services – when making decisions about what appeals to the customer.
In addition, these decisions also have to take into account the trillions of diverse queries a day across the Internet, he says, which is why the company’s relationship with Aerospike for the last decade has been key.
“We have some unique challenges that we’ve had to overcome over the years. Aerospike’s been a huge part of that. We run some of the largest clusters in the world. It’s been just a great partnership, great communication, and a lot of collaboration,” he says.

Daring Night Raid on 60 Shannon Boats
Gardaí in Carrick-on-Shannon are investigating a serious raid at a marina that saw as many as 60 boats vandalised.
The Irish Times reports that the attack early on Tuesday morning involved a five-strong masked gang using a number of vehicles, who robbed at least 40 of the boats of nautical instruments and electrical equipment and damaged 20 others.

The vessels appear to have been targeted among the 300 boats moored at Butler's marina on the River Shannon. The cost of damage to the boats is not yet known.
A staff member at Butler’s marina told The Irish Times that the company was not in a position to comment on the case.
Meanwhile, there are plans to circulate a list of all stolen items among Ireland's inland boating community.

Dublin Bay on the east coast of Ireland stretches over seven kilometres, from Howth Head on its northern tip to Dalkey Island in the south. It's a place most Dubliners simply take for granted, and one of the capital's least visited places. But there's more going on out there than you'd imagine.
The biggest boating centre is at Dun Laoghaire Harbour on the Bay's south shore that is home to over 1,500 pleasure craft, four waterfront yacht clubs and Ireland's largest marina.
The bay is rather shallow with many sandbanks and rocky outcrops, and was notorious in the past for shipwrecks, especially when the wind was from the east. Until modern times, many ships and their passengers were lost along the treacherous coastline from Howth to Dun Laoghaire, less than a kilometre from shore.
The Bay is a C-shaped inlet of the Irish Sea and is about 10 kilometres wide along its north-south base, and 7 km in length to its apex at the centre of the city of Dublin; stretching from Howth Head in the north to Dalkey Point in the south. North Bull Island is situated in the northwest part of the bay, where one of two major inshore sandbanks lie, and features a 5 km long sandy beach, Dollymount Strand, fronting an internationally recognised wildfowl reserve. Many of the rivers of Dublin reach the Irish Sea at Dublin Bay: the River Liffey, with the River Dodder flow received less than 1 km inland, River Tolka, and various smaller rivers and streams.

Is Dublin Bay a UNESCO Biosphere?
In 1981, UNESCO recognised the importance of Dublin Bay by designating North Bull Island as a Biosphere because of its rare and internationally important habitats and species of wildlife. To support sustainable development, UNESCO’s concept of a Biosphere has evolved to include not just areas of ecological value but also the areas around them and the communities that live and work within these areas. There have since been additional international and national designations, covering much of Dublin Bay, to ensure the protection of its water quality and biodiversity. To fulfil these broader management aims for the ecosystem, the Biosphere was expanded in 2015. The Biosphere now covers Dublin Bay, reflecting its significant environmental, economic, cultural and tourism importance, and extends to over 300km² to include the bay, the shore and nearby residential areas.

in Entertainment, National, News
Suzzanne Douglas, Broadway and screen actress, died at the age of 64 on Wednesday, according to her spokesperson.
Are We Protesting for The Right Purpose
HISD and the TEA Takeover
Mentorship is Priceless
While the cause of death is still unknown to the public, the spokesperson revealed Douglas had “a battle with a long illness.”
She is most well known for her role as the matriarch on “The Parent ‘Hood” and for co-starting in dance production “Tap,” alongside Sammy Davis Jr.
Douglas, born in Chicago, has been featured in so many classic films including “Whitney,” “How Stella Got Her Groove Back,” “School of Rock,” and “The Inkwell.” Many Houstonians my remember that she starred as the mother in the movie “Jason’s Lyric,” which was shot right here in Houston. The film also starred Jada Pinkett Smith, Bokeem Woodbine, Allen Payne and Forest Whitaker.
She also made appearances in other TV series like “Bones,” “The Good Wife,” and “NYPD Blue.”
Douglas has truly made such a large impact in the movie and entertainment industry. She is remembered as “a regal bright light” and “a quiet, elegant force” by several co-stars and celebrities who knew her.
Angela Bassett paid tribute to Douglas saying, “Suzzanne was my brave, beautiful and brilliant sister. An incandescent light among us. I adored her essence, her energy, her intelligence, her grace, her faith and her fight. Suzzanne’s spirit was contagious. She saw the best in everyone, and God’s hand in every challenge. Even the most difficult. Rest, sweet angel.”

The African National Congress and the Struggle for South Africa’s Future
By the Africa Center for Strategic Studies
As Cyril Ramaphosa replaces Jacob Zuma as leader of the ANC, much remains to be decided on the future trajectory of the party and the country. Here are four issues to watch.

South Africa’s Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa was elected to succeed outgoing party leader President Jacob Zuma at the African National Congress (ANC) National Conference December 18. This was one of the closest-fought party elections in the ANC’s history, one that saw months of legal challenges and allegations of fraud and intimidation. Backed by the reformist wing of the party, Ramaphosa is a former trade unionist and was Nelson Mandela’s right-hand man as ANC’s chief negotiator in the talks that ended apartheid. He is also one of the architects of South Africa’s constitution and has led South African conflict resolution efforts for Burundi, Lesotho, South Sudan, and the Israeli-Palestinian process. He was pitted against Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Jacob Zuma’s ex-wife who is a party heavyweight and former chairperson of the African Union Commission. She is seen as representing a continuation of the Zuma legacy.
South Africa faces unique challenges stemming from a steady stream of allegations of corruption and abuse of office against President Zuma and top government and party officials. A total of 783 charges were brought against him in the courts and a recent ruling threw out his application to set aside an investigation into high-level corruption involving his business associates. Key independent institutions have come under increasing pressure from executive overreach, with some buckling while others struggle to maintain their independence.
For many South Africans, therefore, the National Conference sat at a critical juncture between two paths: reform and renewal of the ANC and South Africa’s democratic trajectory or further weakening of accountability of the executive branch and the ANC. While a party leader has been selected, much remains to be decided on the future trajectory of the ANC and the country. Here are four issues to watch.
What Is the National Conference and Why Is It Important?
Held every five years, the National Conference elects the leadership of the party’s top organs, including the powerful National Executive Committee (NEC) and its “Top Six,” namely the President and Deputy President, National Chairperson, Secretary General, Deputy Secretary General, and Treasurer General. These positions have now been filled, reflecting a sharp and even split between allies of the two front-runners. They are as follows:
President: Cyril Ramaphosa
Deputy President: David Mabuza (allied to Dlamini-Zuma)
National Chairperson: Gwede Mantashe (allied to Ramaphosa)
Secretary General: Ace Magashule (allied to Dlamini-Zuma)
Deputy Secretary General: Jesse Duarte (allied to Dlamini-Zuma)
Treasurer General: Paul Mashatile (allied to Ramaphosa)
Apart from electing its new leadership, the National Conference also lays out strategic guidance on matters of policy, organization, party constitutional issues, and government supervision. This was the ANC’s 54th National Conference since its founding in 1910 and came against a backdrop of growing disillusionment with the party over increasing corruption, “state capture,” and widening income inequalities. There are also deep divisions within the party over its future path. The ANC’s alliance partners—the powerful Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and South African Communist Party (SACP)—threatened to quit if the party fails to course-correct, and an influential constituency of anti-apartheid icons—popularly known as stalwarts—chided their party for losing its moral compass, a sentiment shared by reformers within the party, civil society, and religious leaders.
The only other party conferences comparable to the 2017 conference in terms of the high stakes involved are the 52nd National Conference in 2007, and the 38th National Conference in 1949. The former elected Jacob Zuma and his supporters to the top leadership and was quickly followed by the ouster of Thabo Mbeki as State President. The latter saw the ouster of the party’s moderate leadership by then-youth leaguers Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, and Walter Sisulu, who turned the party toward armed struggle. The 54th Conference was no less significant. At its core was a struggle for the party’s future direction and priorities.
An influential constituency of anti-apartheid icons—popularly known as stalwarts—chided their party for losing its moral compass, a sentiment shared by reformers within the party, civil society, and religious leaders.
The National Conference got underway in July, when the ANC held its National Policy Conference, a culmination of a months-long process in which the party structures debated and went on to refine nine discussion documents on organizational renewal, “communications and the battle of ideas,” strategy and tactics, legislature and governance, peace and stability, and foreign policy, among other issues.
In 2015, the ANC’s National General Council decided to make the branch the “basic unit of the party” in an effort to check the influence of higher structures.
In October, nominations for the NEC’s Top Six got underway in each of the party’s 3,800 branches. In 2015, the ANC’s National General Council made the branch the “basic unit of the party” to act as a check on the influence of higher structures in electing the party leadership and driving the organization’s strategy. At this National Conference, therefore, branch nominations constitute 90 percent of the voting delegates, with the remaining 10 percent coming from the provincial executives and the ANC’s youth, women, and veterans leagues. Another key decision made in 2015 outlawed the controversial and corruption-prone practice of creating slates (a running mate and preferred candidates for the Top Six). As a result, the selection of the NEC and policy debates at the National Conference are likely to be far more wide open than in past conferences.
The decentralization of the delegate selection process reflects lessons from the 52nd National Conference, where Zuma loyalists secured all the Top Six positions and more than 70 percent of the NEC. This negated the moderating role the party has historically played on the executive branch and set an unhealthy precedent that party reformers were determined to prevent in 2017. This time, all the positions were nominated by the branches to ensure the will of the people prevailed. As a result, in a break with the past, provincial nominations—which take place after branch nominations—are bound by branch preferences.
Now That the Top Six Have Been Elected, What Next?
The real work begins after the selection of the Top Six. The next order of business is the election of members of the 80-member NEC, the party’s highest decision-making body in between conferences. Because the Top Six is split evenly, Ramaphosa and his allies will be constrained in their ability to pursue accountability, reform, and anti-corruption measures—themes they vigorously championed in their campaign. The NEC would, therefore, hold the balance of power since ANC rules and culture disallow the president from forcing through proposals. Zuma, during his tenure, flouted this on several occasions. By far, the most controversial was his sacking of the former Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, in a massive cabinet reshuffle without consulting the party executive. That decision immediately triggered calls for him to resign, with the loudest ones coming from some of his colleagues in the outgoing Top Six. If reformers garner sufficient numbers in the NEC, Ramaphosa’s ticket will be in a better position to deliver on its promises. If not, then progress toward hoped-for reforms is likely to be stymied. As a result, the election of the NEC is even fiercer than the race for the Top Six.
With the new Top Six evenly split, the National Executive Committee will hold the balance of power.
The new NEC will debate and adopt the nine discussion documents. The composition of its membership will be key in shaping the type of policies that emerge from this process. Produced every five years, the Strategy and Tactics Document outlines how the global and domestic situation facilitates or hinders the attainment of South Africa’s strategic priorities. The other five-year planning document lays out policy priorities in African and international affairs, including South Africa’s participation in international peacekeeping, as well as defense and security issues. Once debated and adopted, the nine documents will constitute the basic policy of the ANC until the next National Conference in 2022.

A team will then begin the process of working with ministries and cabinet agencies to ensure policy alignment and monitoring and evaluation of implementation. The new NEC will also elect a National Working Committee. This body conducts the day-to-day work of the ANC and ensures that provinces, regions, branches, and all other ANC structures, such as parliamentary caucuses and policy oversight teams in the government, carry out the decisions of the ANC. The composition of this body, which is chaired by the ANC president, is also highly important, as it serves as the other primary center of power in the party. Elections to serve on this committee will, consequently, also be hard fought. The NEC and National Working Committee exercise more pressure on the Top Six than any other party organ. Their make-up, therefore, will be critical in determining the balance of power between reformers and those with vested interests in maintaining the current trajectory.
Beyond the Conference
As the new ANC president, Ramaphosa will be expected to set the tone for the direction of the party and country and will be the party’s presidential flag-bearer in the 2019 national elections. Until then, he will work with the NEC Lekgotla (review meeting) and the Cabinet Lekgotla to translate the policy resolutions adopted by Conference into government policy. These two critical processes will begin in January 2018. The new leadership will then be expected to renew the structures of the ANC (including the non-elected positions) to ensure that the organization mainstreams its policies into government. Depending on the outcomes of the National Conference, the new team will be tasked with re-engaging the alliance partners (COSATU and SACP), as well as the broader structures of society. Ramaphosa’s vow to move against state capture, which he termed as “the greatest threat to effective governance and economic development,” could recoup the party’s dwindling electoral prospects and restore some of its lost moral high ground.

Brushes with History: Women Artists in Revolutionary France and Britain
By Paris Spies-Gans
“[I]t is very difficult to convey an idea today of the urbanity, the graceful ease, in a word the affability of manner which made the charm of Parisian society forty years ago,” the French painter Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842) reminisced in her autobiographical, three-volume Souvenirs (1835–37), the first published memoir by a female artist. “The women reigned then,” she explained; “the Revolution dethroned them.”[1]
Vigée Le Brun expressed the plight that she and other women who had been the “charm of Parisian society” in the ancien régime experienced in the wake of the French Revolutionary Wars. While she undoubtedly indulged in a considerable degree of mythmaking in composing this nostalgic account, Vigée Le Brun’s own fall had been swift and scholars have long used her experience to reinforce a powerful historical narrative: that the Age of Revolutions was, for women, inescapably an age of exclusion. And yet, between 1760 and 1830, women’s artistic presence was newly palpable. For the first time, women were beginning to exhibit their art in sweeping numbers, with more than 1,300 female artists exhibiting more than 7,000 works in Paris and London’s premier public exhibitions, regularly contributing 7 to 12 percent of the pieces placed on display. By contrast, works by women were recently calculated to average less than 5 percent of the pieces currently on view in American and European museums.[2] Female artists were decidedly more present in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries’ leading art spaces than they are today.
Preceding and then propelled by the political and cultural turmoil of the revolutionary wars, there was an extraordinary surge in female artistic activity and its public reception in Britain and France—part of a cultural metamorphosis in which women entered the public, commercial sphere as professional artists in significant numbers for the first time. These women worked hard to become exhibiting painters, sculptors, and engravers, each of their pieces being accepted by juries composed entirely of men. In the process, they fashioned novel, often influential, identities as established artists and forged commercially profitable careers.
How did this happen, and why have these once-prominent artists remained absent from our twentieth- and twenty-first century narratives?
In the second half of the eighteenth century, before the storming of the Bastille, Vigée Le Brun and a handful of other women artists had indeed achieved unprecedented levels of acclaim for their work. In 1770, the painters Anne Vallayer-Coster (1744-1818, predominantly a still life painter) and Marie-Suzanne Giroust Roslin (1734-1772, predominantly a portraitist) secured election to Paris’s revered Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. Thirteen years later, Vigée Le Brun and Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749-1803), both esteemed society portraitists, followed suit; famously, to combat gendered objections to her admission, Vigée Le Brun received instrumental support from Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVIII. Across the Channel in 1768, two female painters, Angelica Kauffman (1741-1807) and Mary Moser, later Lloyd (1744-1819), had even numbered among the thirty-six founding members of London’s Royal Academy of Arts. These decades also witnessed new forms of female patronage of women artists—most visibly by each nation’s queen—and the growing fame of those few who achieved public recognition.
Anne Vallayer-Coster, Allegory of the Visual Arts, 1769, oil on canvas, 90 x 121 cm, musée du Louvre, Salon 1771, no. 149. This was of her two reception pieces to the Académie.
Yet these moments of unparalleled prestige ultimately highlighted much larger practices of exclusion. During the debates leading up to Vigée Le Brun and Labille-Guiard’s double-election, the French Académie decided to enforce a previously proposed quota of four female members, essentially barring any more women from admission. Additionally, when Vigée Le Brun provided a classical history painting, Peace Bringing Back Abundance, as her Academic reception piece—attempting to secure her acceptance as a painter of historical works, the most prestigious painterly genre—the Academy chose to acknowledge this act with opacity and silence in its official record. It stated solely: “in opening the meeting Madame Lebrun, received as an academician at the last assembly and who has brought her works with which the Company was satisfied took her place in this capacity.” Even this vague reference to the allegorical canvas was not allowed to last; at an unknown moment in the following century, someone crossed out “and who has brought her works with which the Company was satisfied.”[3]
Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Peace Bringing Back Abundance, 1780, oil on canvas, 103 x 133 cm, musée du Louvre, Salon 1783, no. 115. This was her reception piece to the Académie.
In London, Johan Zoffany’s canonical The Portraits of the Academicians of the Royal Academy (1771–72) similarly underscored the problematic nature of Kauffman’s and Moser’s Academic involvement. In his group portrait of the Academy’s founding members in an artist’s studio, Kauffman and Moser appear only as portraits hung on the far wall—as women, they were not officially allowed to participate physically in life (nude) drawing classes. (Both women, however, did study from human models.) Soon, wider patterns of social and cultural change would reflect these restrictions on female artistic activity. In the coming decades of political upheaval and warfare, at precisely the moment when concepts of republicanism, natural rights, and the expansion of suffrage for men were reshaping the British and French political worlds, women were, for the first time, explicitly denied political rights.

Vigée Le Brun’s piercing portrayal of the Revolution—that it “dethroned” women in the realms of political privileges and social practices—broadly captured this complex convergence of events. Her account has also long adumbrated a still-potent academic narrative on gender in Europe during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, a narrative that has extended, almost by default, to the art world: a largely unchallenged view that maintains women artists were essentially excluded from the field of Revolutionary art and, moreover, from the public art worlds in Britain and France until at least the mid-nineteenth century.

However, the opening of public exhibitions in each nation enhanced and soon transformed the professional opportunities available to women at least a century earlier. London’s first public show took place in 1760; by 1768, artists had formed the Royal Academy, which would remain the city’s leading exhibition venue throughout the period, even with the addition of several smaller exhibiting societies in the early nineteenth century. While the institution limited the number of officially appointed Academicians—and, following its two female founders, did not admit another woman as a full member until 1936—the Academy acted as an open venue in which artists could annually submit works to a jury regardless of their gender or status (social, political, Academic, or otherwise). Women exhibited their art, in growing numbers, in every show; from 1768 to 1830, 606 named women exhibited 3,612 works of art, or 6.9 percent of all entries. Paris’s Académie Royale de Sculpture et de Peinture had deeper roots, its formation dating to 1648 and its first Louvre Salon exhibition to 1737. However, only Academicians were allowed to exhibit, and the number of female Academicians was severely restricted; women thus showed art in growing numbers in a few small Parisian venues in the 1760s, 1770s, and 1780s. But in 1791, following the outbreak of the French Revolution, France’s new National Assembly declared the Salon open to all artists, newly regardless of sex or Academic status. Women’s exhibition activity skyrocketed. From 1791 to 1830, 344 women exhibited 2,290 works of art at the Salon, averaging 11.5 percent of all entries.

Markedly, at both the Academy and Salon, women’s exhibiting presence expanded from the mid-1790s, soared from 1798 to 1801, and then maintained these new heights well into the nineteenth century. At the 1802 Salon, 49 women exhibited 91 works, totaling 16 percent of all entries; that year at the Royal Academy, 57 to 59 women exhibited 100 works—9 percent of all pieces on display.[4] As these women’s surviving journals, letters, and publications reveal, many of them began practicing art to support themselves and their families through the years of warfare; afterwards, they continued to pursue these careers, joined by more and more women who were newly motivated to submit art for public display. Most explicitly, around 1806, Ellen Wallace Sharples (1769-1849) reflected in her diary that she first had decided to pursue a professional career, and then encouraged her daughter Rolinda Sharples (1793-1838) to do so, upon witnessing the unpredictable havoc wreaked by the French Revolutionary Wars. This made her resolve “…to make my drawing, which had been learnt & practised [sic] as an ornamental art for amusement, available to a useful purpose.”[5] Seven years later, she wrote with joy, “It is very delightful to me to see [Rolinda] always cheerful and happy, ardently engaged in various intellectual pursuits, particularly that of painting…Exercising it as a profession she views as attended with every kind of advantage.”[6]

What did “[e]xercising it as a profession” mean for women in these years, when they generally did not even legally own the proceeds of their work—a privilege predominantly reserved for husbands and fathers—unless widowed? For female exhibitors, like their male peers, to exhibit with professional intent was to list their names and addresses in each exhibition’s catalogue, inviting potential patrons to visit their homes or studios to purchase, commission, or view more works. The majority of women chose to do so. When Rolinda Sharples debuted at the Academy in 1820, thirteen years after her mother, she even listed two addresses, “Clifton” for her year-round residence in Bristol, and “7, Howard street, Strand,” where anyone interested could find her in London during the course of the show. Like Rolinda Sharples, whose mother, father, and brother were all artists, most British female exhibitors for whom biographical data survives grew up in an artistic household—a space with commercial ambitions that regularly extended to its women members. In France, most female exhibitors studied with an extrafamilial male teacher, a cast that extended from Jacques-Louis David to Jean-Baptiste Augustin.

Reflecting their own families’ and teachers’ specialties, women consistently chose to create and exhibit highly marketable pieces with the most traditionally prestigious subject matter: narrative scenes, portraits, and, in London, landscapes. Often, they selected subjects that evoked the concerns of the time—for instance, in 1810, Antoinette Béfort’s (fl. 1810–19) A Young Theban Girl Tending to her Father’s Wounds likely spoke to a generation of French men and women facing the daily repercussions of nearly two decades of warfare. She won a second-class medal from the Napoleonic state for the canvas.

For despite his notorious dislike for women writers and the deeply gendered legislation of the Napoleonic Code, Napoleon himself, his family members, and the Napoleonic state became significant supporters of several female painters, all purchasing paintings displayed at the Salon and commissioning additional works. Henriette Lorimier, a student of Jean-Baptiste Regnault, sold her Jeanne de Navarre, winner of a first-prize medal, to the Empress Josephine for 4,000 francs; in 1808, the Empress purchased Constance Mayer’s The Torch of Venus. Their peer Marie-Guillemine Benoist, a student of Vigée Le Brun and David, painted nearly a dozen official state portraits between 1804 and 1812, two of which she exhibited. One image of Napoleon, painted for the town of Sarthe, earned her 3,000 francs—the same price Jean-Antoine Gros received for portraits of Napoleon he completed for the Lyon, Rouen, and Lille.[7] While women across the Channel relied much more on private patronage networks, they too tended to earn prices commensurate with their male peers, which repeatedly enabled them to sustain long and profitable careers.

The Sharpleses, Béfort, Benoist, Mayer, and the Bonapartes were far from alone—their unexpected stories indicate a vibrant and unanticipated world of creative production, public recognition, and commercial exchange. While the French Revolution may have “dethroned” some women, like Vigée Le Brun, the era also saw the opening of new public prospects for an unprecedented number of female artists. Reevaluating their careers and, often, reattributing their works of art enables a hitherto unrecognized story to emerge, one in which the effects of revolution, the chaos of warfare, and shifts in institutional structures sparked a transformation in women’s professionalization as artists. Transcending national boundaries, these women’s stories can help us to further illuminate the cultural implications of this political era.

Inspiring Stories: Big or Small
Home » Inspiring Stories: Big or Small
by Arbe Jay Polancos
This pandemic was unprecedented, unexpected, and inevitable in a way and in so many levels. Along with it came the anticipated hardships, struggles, and trials that many have faced and are still facing right now- depending on where you are at life. From common folk to business tycoons, teachers, working-class men, and of course— students, this pandemic has proved to be more than just the name itself.
Regardless if you are under the basic, elementary, high school, and college education, you are a victim of the pandemic. If you are from the public school, your learning mode mostly involves the utilization of modules, among other learning options. Parents with children under the kindergarten education struggled with how modules work. They have to relearn everything before they can actually teach their own child or children. Fortunately, in the private education sector, online learning is what is mostly utilized and that’s what separates the line. Although there are still struggles with this learning platform like internet connection issues, power outages, and device compatibilities, most of it were just minimal.
Struggles aside, this pandemic has brought out the best from other people too. I would even go and say that what they did despite the pandemic is very inspiring. From small victories to life-changing events, here are testimonies from students who have made a change from themselves and towards others:
“When I was in the face-to-face classes setup, as an introvert, I struggled mostly in my academics because I rarely speak up. I do not have a lot of confidence and I do not make friends that easily. Because of the online classes setup, I have exceled in my majors and I have made a few friends, well online friends. But at least there’s friendship, right? I know this isn’t much as an inspiring story but hey, this is still worth celebrating. I have made change within me and I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t.” – Jade
Small victories are still victories- always remember that. Here’s another:
“I am a working student. I was not a working student before the pandemic. I lived a life full of pleasures and privileges. I was from a well-off family. Money was somehow never an issue for me because my parents were there to provide for us. I dare say that I have everything a young-adult person wishes, and I know I did. Unfortunately, the pandemic happened and all of a sudden, like the spokes of a wheel, my life turned upside down. A complete spiral, if you ask me. Our family business went downhill due to the lack of customers. My mother was so stressed since it was her only source of income and she got sick. She had the symptoms of the virus and she was hospitalized. However, like the cruel twist of fate, when we thought that our mother was going to die, our father took his unfair share. He was the one who caught the virus and died just days after contracting it. I did not know what to do. I was left with the responsibility as the eldest son. We needed money and I tried so many ways on how to earn some. I asked my classmates for suggestions but at first, I did not have the stomach to do it. I was so prideful. They told me to have odd jobs like becoming a delivery boy, a call center agent, and even vlog on YouTube. Long story short, after a long wrestle with my pride and my ego, I applied to a food delivery service and I was gladly accepted. Right now, I’m still doing it, I got used to it, and I would be forever grateful to it. For those of you who are struggling right now, accept it, then get back up because I assure you, you can only do it if you do it now. Thank you, sir Arbe!” – Ming
Whatever problems that come across us, always remember that we are not given these if we are not capable of overcoming it. Believe!
Here’s the last testimony:
“This is not much, sir Arbe but because of the pandemic, I have started reading books. Not the digital versions or web books, but actual physical books. During the pre-pandemic period, I have always told myself to one day pick up a book and read but it never happened. I was bombarded with so many tasks from my majors and I did not have the time to read anymore. Since March 2020, I have read 27 books so far. Ranging from fiction, non-fiction, and etc. Most of the genres that I read are thriller, romance, and action-packed. I like John Grisham and Harlan Coben. You can buy their books from BookSale in less than 100 pesos. Needless to say, I fell in love with books. Thank you sir!” -Khaye
Needless also to say, I gave her two of my most cherished books. She’ll definitely love it.
With those statements, it is evident that even in the darkest of times, people will always find ways to cope up, keep up, and keep on living on. To you who’s reading this, it’s not too late to change and find something to do to keep you sane. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1808 | {"url": "https://aisat.edu.ph/altitude_articles/inspiring-stories-big-or-small/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "aisat.edu.ph", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:15:39Z", "digest": "sha1:RSPJTPLGDE65BMXFV7H7HWWL5WN4H5KU"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4918, 4918.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4918, 6146.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4918, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4918, 95.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4918, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4918, 246.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4918, 0.47605634]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4918, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4918, 0.02057084]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4918, 0.00822834]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4918, 0.00539985]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4918, 0.01079969]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4918, 0.03943662]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4918, 0.15023474]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4918, 0.45117845]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4918, 4.3647587]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4918, 5.39898405]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4918, 891.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 32, 0.0], [32, 71, 0.0], [71, 92, 0.0], [92, 496, 1.0], [496, 1219, 1.0], [1219, 1521, 0.0], [1521, 2039, 0.0], [2039, 2114, 0.0], [2114, 3730, 0.0], [3730, 3862, 1.0], [3862, 3889, 0.0], [3889, 4584, 0.0], [4584, 4676, 1.0], [4676, 4918, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 32, 0.0], [32, 71, 0.0], [71, 92, 0.0], [92, 496, 0.0], [496, 1219, 0.0], [1219, 1521, 0.0], [1521, 2039, 0.0], [2039, 2114, 0.0], [2114, 3730, 0.0], [3730, 3862, 0.0], [3862, 3889, 0.0], [3889, 4584, 0.0], [4584, 4676, 0.0], [4676, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 32, 5.0], [32, 71, 7.0], [71, 92, 4.0], [92, 496, 67.0], [496, 1219, 110.0], [1219, 1521, 50.0], [1521, 2039, 98.0], [2039, 2114, 10.0], [2114, 3730, 319.0], [3730, 3862, 23.0], [3862, 3889, 4.0], [3889, 4584, 129.0], [4584, 4676, 17.0], [4676, 4918, 48.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 32, 0.0], [32, 71, 0.0], [71, 92, 0.0], [92, 496, 0.0], [496, 1219, 0.0], [1219, 1521, 0.0], [1521, 2039, 0.0], [2039, 2114, 0.0], [2114, 3730, 0.0], [3730, 3862, 0.0], [3862, 3889, 0.0], [3889, 4584, 0.01345291], [4584, 4676, 0.0], [4676, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 32, 0.0], [32, 71, 0.0], [71, 92, 0.0], [92, 496, 0.0], [496, 1219, 0.0], [1219, 1521, 0.0], [1521, 2039, 0.0], [2039, 2114, 0.0], [2114, 3730, 0.0], [3730, 3862, 0.0], [3862, 3889, 0.0], [3889, 4584, 0.0], [4584, 4676, 0.0], [4676, 4918, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 32, 0.125], [32, 71, 0.12820513], [71, 92, 0.14285714], [92, 496, 0.00742574], [496, 1219, 0.00829876], [1219, 1521, 0.00993377], [1521, 2039, 0.02895753], [2039, 2114, 0.02666667], [2114, 3730, 0.02351485], [3730, 3862, 0.01515152], [3862, 3889, 0.03703704], [3889, 4584, 0.03741007], [4584, 4676, 0.0326087], [4676, 4918, 0.00826446]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4918, 0.2114898]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4918, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4918, 0.05977273]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4918, -2.14259222]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4918, 50.5173378]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4918, -494.10193848]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4918, 58.0]]} |

Ceylan had long wished to adapt "The Wife", and shot it in Cappadocia. At the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, the film won the Palme d'Or and the FIPRESCI Prize.
Aydın, a former actor, owns a mountaintop hotel in Cappadocia, as well as several properties which he rents out to local tenants. He leads a more idyllic life than most people around him in the region. Educated and wealthy, he spends his time writing columns for a local newspaper and researching the history of Turkish theater, of which he hopes to write a book someday.
One day, Aydın and his assistant Hidayet are driving down to the village when a stone shatters the window. It was thrown by İlyas, the son of İsmail, one of Aydın's tenants who is several months behind in the rent. When Hidayet confronts the father, it turns out that Aydın's people had already sent a collection agency that took İsmail's television and refrigerator, with İsmail getting beaten up by the police for resisting. The situation escalates until İsmail’s brother Hamdi intervenes.
Hamdi, the eager-to-please local imam, brings the young İlyas to Aydın in an attempt to make amends for the glass-breaking incident. However, this only serves to annoy Aydin, inspiring him to write a column on how an imam should really give a proper example to their community. At first, his sister Necla wonders why Aydın does not use his writing talent in a better place than the local newspaper. Later, she reverses her view and tells him that he is just superficially and sentimentally criticising other people from his comfortable armchair. This results in a long chain of snide remarks made back and forth at each other. This reversal occurs after Necla mentions to Aydın's wife Nihal that Necla might be better off going back to her ex-husband, after which Nihal tells Necla that she is free to leave even though it is a stupid idea.
Nihal is much younger than her husband Aydın. She tries to give meaning to her life by fundraising for developing schools, an activity for which Aydın has not shown much interest. However, when Nihal organizes a fundraiser event in their home, Aydın becomes annoyed and tells her that the fundraiser event will be a guaranteed failure due to her lack of experience and bookkeeping skills. This turns into an emotional argument, where he tells her that she is free to divorce from him if she wishes so. Finally, Aydın states that he will leave for Istanbul for several months to make arrangements for his book. He warns her that she should not trust Levent (Nadir Sarıbacak), one of the other people involved in the fundraiser, since Aydın considers Levent to lack moral values. Before he leaves, Aydın makes a large anonymous donation in cash.
The next day, Hidayet takes Aydın to the train station, carrying all the luggage while Aydın comfortably walks empty-handed. Due to heavy snow fall, the train is severely delayed, and Aydın decides that they will visit Aydın's friend Suavi in a nearby village. Suavi welcomes Aydın's visit, but Levent also shows up, as Levent and Suavi had agreed earlier to go out hunting. They spend the evening drinking and talking. There is some tension between Aydın and Levent, as Levent makes insinuations that Aydın did not do enough to help in the aftermath of an earthquake, six years earlier.
In the meantime, Nihal visits the house of Hamdi, İsmail, İlyas, and the sick grandmother. Nihal learns that İsmail was unemployed after a prison sentence for stabbing a lingerie thief and that İlyas had been suffering from pneumonia. Their financial difficulties are due to the fact that Hamdi has to take care of all of them from his modest income as an imam. Nihal offers the money that Aydın had donated, around 10,000 lira ($5,900 in 2013), enough to buy a house in the area. İsmail is insulted by what he sees as an attempt to pay off her conscience and burns the money in the fireplace, to the horror of Nihal.
The film ends as Aydın returns home the next day. As Nihal stares out of the window, silently, Aydin's voice is heard explaining that he cannot live without Nihal, even if she does not love him anymore.

Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan co-wrote the screenplay with wife Ebru Ceylan, based on "The Wife" by Anton Chekhov, wishing to make an adaptation for 15 years but not feeling ready. He said it was challenging to write, remarking "You struggle and there are moments you feel you will go nowhere. Some days after the struggle, there is a script, and you forget the process". Ebru, who often debated with him in their collaborations on screenplays opted to end their writing partnership after Winter Sleep.
The film was produced through the director's company NBC Film in collaboration with Turkey's Zeynofilm, Germany's Bredok Film Production and France’s Memento Films. It received 450,000 euro from Eurimages. Filming took place during two winter months in Cappadocia followed by four weeks in Istanbul for studio scenes. The film was shot with the Sony F65 camera. The final adjustments to the story line took place when Ceylan edited it.
Winter Sleep received universal acclaim. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a "certified fresh" rating of 88%, based on 75 reviews, with an average rating of 8.4/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Epic in length, thrilling to behold, and utterly absorbing, Winter Sleep demands – and rewards – viewers' patient attention." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 88 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".
Writing for The Guardian at the film's Cannes screening, Xan Brooks said that "in fits and starts, this is a stunning picture. At its best, Winter Sleep shows Ceylan to be as psychologically rigorous, in his way, as Ingmar Bergman before him". Robbie Collin of The Telegraph said that the film is "still fiendishly intelligent stuff from the director, nudging back the limits of what we expect of cinema and also what it expects of us: a mighty tale of what becomes of a man when his heart goes into hibernation".
Indie Wire praised the film and defined it as a "mesmerizing, superbly acted portrait of a wealthy, self-involved landowner and the various figures impacted by his reign" while The Telegraph called it a "bold, beautiful - and very long - film about a failing marriage" The Guardian also gave the film a glowing review describing it as a harsh "character study" and a "stunning picture" while praising Haluk Bilginer's "magnificent performance." Another positive review came from Variety. Film critic Justin Chang called the film a "richly engrossing experience" and asserted that Nuri Bilge Ceylan is at his "peak" with Winter Sleep. Another critic, Ben Kenigsberg, noting Winter Sleep was the longest film in the Cannes film competition, pointed out that the film was an awards favorite from the get-go. He also found "the movie's slow revelation of character detail quietly devastating."
More positive reviews followed. Huffington Post reviewer Karin Badt called the film a "masterpiece" and noted that there is "movement and growth and self-realization" in the characters and none of them are "black-and-white." Also, the ending of the film was defined as "ambiguous" leaving parts of the movie to the interpretation of the viewer. Way Too Indie awarded the film 9.7 points out of 10, commenting: "What Bela Tarr did with images, Nuri Bilge Ceylan accomplishes with dialogue; one hundred percent inclusive assimilation. You literally get lost inside this world that seems to balance on the periphery of humanity itself. But, believe it or not, that’s just the surface. If you put your trust in Ceylan and his troupe of brilliant actors, every action will reveal deeper meanings, every frame will contain significant details, and you will leave the theater completely nourished." TIME Magazine remarked that it was no surprise that Winter Sleep won the award and noted: "Winter Sleep probes the psychology of a Turkish landowner confronting crises from his young wife, his sister and his aggrieved tenants." Irish Times called the film "terrific" and commented: "So leisurely is Winter Sleep, it makes Once Upon a Time in Anatolia, his last film, feel like an episode of The A-Team." Cine Vue noted that while Ceylan's previous film Once upon a Time in Anatolia might have been inspired by Dostoevsky, Winter Sleep took its inspiration from Chekhov. The reviewer added: "The pacing of Ceylan's latest will inevitably be a hurdle for many viewers, as a slow-burn beginning with numerous scenes of dialogue played out in full gets even more unhurried in a pair of marathon confrontations."
According to reviewer Robbie Collin, Aydın sees himself as the region's kind ruler, intervening in the business of the townspeople below the mountain, whereas in reality, almost everyone, including his wife, dislikes Aydın.
When the snow season approaches and the guests depart, the tension between Aydın, his wife, his sister who lives with him, and the village people takes over by long dialogues. Conversations dominate the film as the inner workings of the characters are slowly revealed. Variety reviewer Justin Chang notes that the argument between Hidayet and İsmail in the beginning of the film all happens "while Aydın keeps a timid distance [and this is] just a minor example of his complacency and casual indifference to the suffering around him."
Collin wrote:
It turns out that most people have at least one very good reason to dislike Aydin: even his wife, whose charity fundraising efforts he dismisses laughingly, criticising the state of her bookkeeping like a teacher ticking off a particularly slow pupil.
Only one man, the obsequious imam, makes a concerted effort to get along with him, although Aydin is annoyed by his flattering talk and insincere, teeth-baring grins, and obliquely insults him in his newspaper column.
Aydın's comfort is, however, "challenged by the conversations that ensue between him and the poor family, his wife and his sister on topics ranging from civic responsibility to evil."
The film won the Palme d'Or at the 67th Cannes Film Festival. The longest film in competition by far, Winter Sleep's Palme d'Or marked the culmination of the career of Nuri Bilge Ceylan, who has twice received the festival's second-place honor, the Grand Prix (for 2002's Uzak and for 2011's Once Upon a Time in Anatolia) and who won a directing prize for 2008's Three Monkeys.
Ceylan said in his acceptance speech that it was "a great surprise" when he took the stage, noting that it was perhaps a fitting choice in a year that marked the 100th anniversary of Turkish cinema. Tacitly acknowledging the 2013–14 protests in Turkey that led to the deaths of 11 people, the director said, "I want to dedicate the prize to all the young people of Turkey, including those who lost their lives". He also mentioned the workers who were killed in the Soma mine disaster, which occurred on the day prior to the commencement of the awards event. Although it divided critics and audiences with its reams of dialogue and challenging 196-minute running time, the film became an early critics’ favorite and Palme d'Or contender when it screened on the festival’s third day. The film was selected as the Turkish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.

Aggies Under African Skies
by Leighton James
A few days ago I realized I have a problem: I have to write the final blog for Namibia Study Abroad 2012. I should probably be happy about it. Everyone always wants the last word.
What I didn’t realize was how difficult it would be to write about this trip. How can I possibly tell you how absolutely amazing this trip was in a blog or at all really?
I could talk about the places we went or the projects we were assigned. Of course, that has already been done.
Along with the places we went, came the amazing people: the Schneider family, Dr. Mary Seely, Eugene Marias, the fabulous Dr. Laurie Marker, the Ogongo students, the staff at the University of Namibia’s Neudamm and Ogongo campuses, Gobabeb Desert Research and Training Centre, and the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF), our bus driver, Ephraim, and everyone else along the way.
Perhaps I will talk about the billions of stars in the night sky or the multiple colors of the sunrise. They were both breathtaking. One of my favorite moments was climbing to the top of the dunes (which also took my breath away, literally) at sunrise with Jessica Guerra and Tray Heard. I was so excited and in such awe of the beauty that I almost started squealing and jumping up and down. I could’ve stayed there for hours.
Then, of course, there were the animals – my favorite, by far, being the cheetah (thanks CCF). Their anatomy, precision and beauty is fascinating.
There are so many things we did and experienced, constantly moving and changing. All of these places and people make it difficult to say goodbye. However, there was a constant that I was also fortunate to have – the other 12 Aggies on this trip. Everyone contributed in their own way.
We never had to wonder about what Josh Hardcastle was thinking; he let us know frequently, and we humorously coined the phrase, “It’s just Josh.” I admire his hardworking personality that shined through in all of our groups. (You can thank him for keeping this fantastic blog updated.)
Brooke Brock, whom I gained a respect for early on, not only constantly applied her scientific knowledge but was also almost always the first to talk to the local people. Her willingness and ability to converse came so naturally, and I loved watching her do it. I can’t wait to (hopefully) visit her in Washington, D.C. during the Thanksgiving break!
I have to thank Samantha Alvis for all of the hard work she put into the planning of this trip. We appreciated her input on all that we did as she knew a lot about the places we were going. By the way, I hope Sam’s niece knows how much she loves and adores her. It was adorable seeing her excitement when she got to Skype with her for her birthday.
Brandy Dangelmayr never stopped surprising me. The humor she provided in almost every situation was much appreciated. As Dr. Rutherford said at dinner, it was fun seeing her in her element as she was truly intrigued by the goat operation at the Cheetah Conservation Fund.
Her partners in crime (and in humor) were Holly Van Groll and Jessica Guerra. Jessica brought insight on new ideas and beliefs. She always seemed to perfectly “fit in” with all of the nature aspects of our trip.
Holly is one of the most down-to-earth people I have met, and her laugh is so contagious. I also enjoyed listening to her talk about the Peace Corps, through which she will soon be pursuing her master’s degree.
That brings me to Lauren Cockerell. You can tell she adores her family through the way she talks about them. She is incredibly driven by her work. She and her husband are in the process of joining the Peace Corps, which I find admirable. (Mom and Dad, don’t be surprised if all of this Peace Corps talk inspires me to join, too.)
I don’t think I could describe Beth Alexis any better than Dr. Wingenbach did. Her “wonderment” in everything we did struck us all. I wish I could capture her wide eyes and huge, beautiful smile. It would be nice to look at her face when I lost sight of the value of “wonderment.”
Amy Heartfield’s excitement made me giggle many times. I wish I could include a recording of her enthusiastically saying, “I’m so excited!” Her loving nature makes me doubt that she has a mean bone in her body. I know her words and actions are genuine and kind – something that is truly refreshing.
Then, there is Tray Heard. I had the pleasure of receiving his insight on many things about life. This was in between the times he was enlightening the group with all of his useful (random) information and making us laugh with his witty remarks. His passion for his future goals and powerful voice makes me believe that he will exceed even his own expectations.
Lastly, our trip would not have been possible (literally) without our professors, Dr. Gary Wingenbach and Dr. Tracy Rutherford. Dr. Wingenbach’s stories and insights gave me new perspectives on agriculture and leadership. He also helped me further develop my own ideas. I think I learned something or was challenged to think almost every time he spoke. I appreciated his efforts in trying to push my buttons. He continuously gave me a hard time, which always kept me on my toes.
I give Dr. Rutherford credit for a lot of things, including my decision to officially change my major to agricultural communications and journalism (which I have gradually been doing since I met her). She epitomizes the feeling I have of a family at Texas A&M. I appreciate her ability to silently observe everyone in the group. She was the first to point out the “pure joy” she saw me develop on the trip. I’m not even sure I had identified my own feelings until she pointed them out.
I hope these two individuals know the immense positive impact they have on all of their students.
I will never forget this trip or the people on it. Now, don’t get me wrong, put 13 strangers in confined spaces with limited resources for a month, and you’re bound to come across some conflict. However, the conflict doesn’t come close to outweighing the positives.
I appreciate them for every late night talk, shedding light on ideas and experiences during reflections, the laughs (I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time) and helping me understand myself a little deeper.
I’m fortunate because some of the best parts of my trip get to come home with me. Although I may never cross paths with these individuals in Africa again, I can’t wait to see them back at home, hear about their success and learn even more from them.
This is my Aggie family, and we’ll always have the times we spent under African skies.
Tradition and Transition
by Samantha Alvis
I’m excited to have the opportunity to share this country with my fellow students. I was lucky enough to travel to Namibia last summer and promptly fell in love with this country. With a landscape that reminds me of my native Arizona and wonderful, welcoming people, what’s not to love about Namibia?
When I opened the map in front of the group and traced our journey over our first 15 days, I think it’s safe to say that everyone was surprised by just how much of Namibia that we have seen in our time here.
Currently, we’re in a region I was lucky enough to visit in 2011. Three days ago, we arrived at the University of Namibia Ogongo Campus*, in the far north of the country. It’s quite the change from some of our earlier locations. We viewed the city life in Windhoek, the desert life at Gobabeb, experienced a bit of the seaside in Swakopmund and had a taste of tourism as we journeyed through Etosha National Park.
The north is different. Most of Namibia’s 2.1 million people live in the north. We began to notice this as we drove through towns like Ondangwa and Oshikati and experienced rush hour for the first time. We saw it the number of people enjoying a beverage at the 100s of tiny shabeens (bars), with names like New Paradise and New Life, that line the highways and towns.
A large majority of the north is communal lands, with a communal farming and ranching system. Namibia’s north country gives a new meaning to open range … we realized this as we stopped multiple times for cattle, goat and donkey to cross the highway.
And in these communal lands, you also see communal living. We stopped at the Nakambale Traditonal Homestead and Museum on our way to Ogongo to learn about life in a traditional homestead. In a homestead, you may find 3-4 generations of a family living together. Different family members have huts to sleep in, the kitchen is outdoors and at night, the livestock are brought in for safekeeping.
As you drive along the roads, you’ll find that many of the homesteads are in transition. Among the traditional thatch huts and wooden fences, you’ll find cinder block structures and aluminum fencing.
Tradition and transition – these are two common themes I see in this country I love. While Namibia is a young country (gaining independence from South Africa just 22 years ago), it is still a country rich in tradition. It’s also a country in transition, trying to set an example for the continent in how to manage lands, educate people and create opportunities for future generations.
*If you’re trying to follow us on a map, find the Angola-Namibia border and look for Ogongo along the C-46 highway between Outapi and Oshakati.
Gobabeb, My Love
by Jessica Guerra
When family and friends asked what excited me the most about studying abroad in Namibia, I always mentioned being able to study outside the classroom, being immersed in a different culture, doing meaningful work, and of course, being on the African continent.
Although those are still true, the unexpected has happened; that is, I have fallen deeply in love with the Namib Desert surrounding the Gobabeb Research and Training Centre.
When we weren’t working, we were exploring the Gobabeb grounds. We got to go on a nature walk with some Namibian high school students participating in Gobabeb’s training program. Being a horticulture minor, I was thrilled to learn about a tree teeming with ants inside it; the ants provide protection from herbivores, and the tree provides a habitat for the ants.
Sitting with about twenty other high school students, we used the scientific method to come up with a way to compare the plants and animals living at the intersection of three different ecosystems at Gobabeb – the gravel plains, the sand sea, and the riverbed.
Though I enjoy the challenging, fulfilling work we are doing in Namibia, something else will draw me to this great country again and again; it is the Namib Sand Sea, or the countless sand dunes stretching across the entire horizon.
As we made our way up the dunes, each step sinking into the deep red-orange sand became increasingly meaningful. Though we may have been panting, barefoot, and grasping our water bottles as we reached the top, the trek was absolutely worth it.
All the photographs of sand dunes featured in National Geographic and on your computer desktop could not compare to standing atop the crest of a Namib sand dune at sunset. With outstretched arms and wide smiles, we stood on top of the world and soaked in the last of the African sun.
I will have fond memories of Namibia, but I know this will be one of the fondest.
The Namibia Phenomenology…
by Dr. Tracy Rutherford
This trip has been filled with -ologies, much more than any of us anticipated: anthropology, paleontology, archaeology, geology, technology and zoology. Brooke has had many opportunities to demonstrate that she paid attention in class while many of us wish we had done more than memorize the information for the test.
That’s what I have learned on this trip – it is about the experience and applying what you’ve learned, not the grade on your transcript. Neudamm reminded us of the importance of agriculture, Gobabeb challenged our research skills, and Etosha brought Africa to life (as the elephants blocked the path of the bus and later intimidated a young lion pride), I can only wonder what lessons we’ll learn in the final days of our adventure.
Jack Elliot told me Namibia is his second home because it reminds him of Arizona. I think all of us appreciate the similarities between this country and the United States, while enjoying the hospitality of our hosts and the abundance of excellent chefs. We have definitely received the red carpet treatment, and I am grateful that our students have the chance to give back to this country – the chance to leave a legacy that will guide this program for years to come.
My hope is that the legacy of this program is for our students to learn beyond the book, apply beyond the test and do something with their education.
We started this experience with the study of agricultural communications and leadership at Neudamm preparing to translate scientific information based on the research at Gobabeb. Now we are fine-tuning those skills to emphasize education about science as we prepare to work with the Cheetah Conservation Fund.
We are still exploring all those -ologies and have added two more, sociology and psychology, as we continue to learn about ourselves, our group and the people of Namibia.
With Open Arms and Kind Hearts
by Tray Heard
Before coming to Namibia, we all knew we would constantly be traveling, and that’s what made this opportunity so exciting. Moving often allows us to meet many people from different backgrounds and experience multiple regions around the country.
What we didn’t realize is how hard it would be to say goodbye and move to the next destination.
Leaving the Neudamm campus of The University of Namibia was a difficult task, for we had made it our home for a week and the people there were amazing surrogate parents for us. Amanda, Maggie, Imms and the entire staff made us feel incredibly welcomed while providing us with everything we could ask for.
Martin and Gabi Schneider also made a huge impression on our entire group; they welcomed us in to their home and prepared an amazing meal that we enjoyed as we watched the sun set over Windhoek.
Their cousin Bernd served as our incredible tour guide around the city after the original tour plans fell apart. We can now all understand why ALEC’s department head, Dr. Elliott, continues to come back to Namibia to spend time with their wonderful family.
As we settled in at Gobabeb, we all probably had thought that we wouldn’t be able to find wonderful people like those we had met in our first week. Of course, we were mistaken.
After being able to celebrate a birthday for our bus driver, Ephriam, and meeting the entire staff at Gobabeb, we have all come to the realization that every new person we meet in Namibia will be just as kind as the one that came before.
This is a country filled with amazing people who welcome each of us with open arms everywhere we go.
They have done whatever they can to make our experience here as carefree as possible. With each new relationship we make, we know it will continue to be hard to say goodbye.
Although we may feel a little down as we drive on to a new destination, we will never complain about having too many people care about us.
Our Time at Gobabeb
by Brandy Dangelmayr
The Namib Sand Sea desert was nominated by Namibia to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. World Heritage Sites are unique places of cultural or natural significance. It is the World Heritage Center’s mission to encourage international cooperation in the conservation of the world’s history. By establishing these sites, countries invite the world to experience their heritage.
The Namib Sand Sea was nominated as a natural site that meets all four specific World Heritage criterium, which puts it in the ranks of sites like the Grand Canyon and the Great Barrier Reef.
If the Sand Sea is adopted as a World Heritage Site, the local population would experience an influx of tourists. This increase would directly benefit job growth and the economy. The natural and spectacular dunes would also have better protection for future generations.
The Namib is also home to Gobabeb Training and Research Centre, which has been in operation for over 50 years. The center has a science-based education program for primary and secondary schools and wants to begin training teachers and community members in leadership. A three month research internship program for post-graduates is also offered. Currently, nine research topics are underway. They focus on the unique plants and animals and ways to preserve the environment.
So, you may be asking yourself, what the heck are we doing in a desert in Namibia? Well, we are actually spending most of our time in the computer lab at Gobabeb.
While in the Namib, we were asked to help the center advertise and educate Namibians about the benefits of becoming a World Heritage Site and the uniqueness of the Namib Sand Sea.
Hopefully, next year we will see Gobabeb on the UNESCO World Heritage list as one of their new World Heritage Sites.

Early Education in Down Syndrome
October 30, 2020 jennyomoyers2 Comments
This week I got to Zoom with my 4th grade students during their Counseling time. It was so great to get to see their faces and hear their voices! We weren’t Zooming just so they could sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to me, though. We were Zooming so we could talk about Down syndrome.
October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month and it’s also the month my school district celebrates Disabilities Awareness Week. It’s one of my favorite weeks/months of the school year because I love getting to teach my kids that having a disability does not mean there is something wrong with a person. It means that there is something different with the way a person’s body or mind, or sometimes both, work. We learn about different types of disabilities while always keeping our focus on the fact that a person with a disability is a person that deserves to be treated with kindness and respect.
For each class I gave them a basic explanation of the chromosomes and the extra copy people with Down syndrome have, some of the differences that causes for their brain and body, and how much they are able to learn to do when given the chance. Then I asked if anyone had questions about Down syndrome.
The students in the class I Zoomed with on Tuesday morning were either still half asleep, bored to tears, and/or experts on Down syndrome already so none of them had questions.
By Tuesday afternoon, I was questioning whether or not it was worth doing the next two days. If the information I was sharing with them was appropriate and meaningful or just falling on deaf ears. If spending the time talking with them would even make a difference.
As I Zoomed with another class on Wednesday morning, I could tell the students were a little more engaged as I went over the same basic information. When I invited them to ask questions, hands quickly went up into the air.
“Is it similar to autism?”
“Can you catch Down syndrome from someone who has it?”
“Is it rare?”
“Can it be cured?”
It was awesome! I answered their questions the best I could and loved the effort they were giving in trying to understand Down syndrome.
Today’s session was good, too. One student asked if kids with Down syndrome behaved worse than other kids, and another asked if kids with Down syndrome could breathe okay.
It was yesterday’s session, though, that helped me to know that doing this wasn’t a waste of time.
Down syndrome isn’t rare. It’s the most common chromosomal condition that occurs in babies. About 1 in every 700 babies are born with Down syndrome. That number would be higher but unfortunately approximately 67% of women choose to terminate their pregnancy following a prenatal diagnosis.
There is no cure for Down syndrome. And as I told my students, I wouldn’t want there to be one. Because if Moses didn’t have that extra chromosome, he wouldn’t be Moses. Same goes for a lot of other awesome people with Down syndrome.
My hope is that one or more (or all) of those amazing young kids will grow up and make a difference in the life of someone with Down syndrome.
Maybe one of them will be a doctor who tells expectant mothers, “Your baby has Down syndrome. I know this news is unexpected and not necessarily what you wanted to hear, but I want you to know that there is no reason to believe that your child won’t lead a very fulfilling life.”
A nurse that says, “Congratulations! You baby is beautiful and perfect.”
A teacher who says, “Let’s see what works best for you so that you can learn as much as you can while you’re in my class.”
A policy maker that understands people with Down syndrome deserve fair access to things like life insurance and organ transplants.
An employer that welcomes people with Down syndrome to work at their business in a capacity that is appropriate for them. That provides the training and opportunity for them to be successful and contribute to the success of the business.
A friend who accepts a person with Down syndrome for who he or she is. Who isn’t nice because you’re supposed to be nice to people with disabilities but because she truly enjoys being around him.
A partner or spouse who resists the urge to bail upon hearing the diagnosis. Who chooses to stay and love and support the mother and child through all the ups and downs.
A mother who refuses to abort the life growing inside her. Who chooses to love her baby unconditionally regardless of the number of chromosomes it has. Who chooses to focus on all that her child will be able to do when the world wants to tell her all about what it won’t be able to do.
In the world of Down syndrome, we are taught that early intervention is key for the successful development of our children.
I believe that early education is also essential for progress to continue to be made when it comes to the Down syndrome community. Talk to your kids. Teach them about Down syndrome and other disabilities so that when they find themselves around someone who has an extra chromosome, who might sound a little “funny” when he talks, who needs a little extra time to understand what she’s hearing, or whose brain or body works a little differently in other ways, they know what to do.
Be kind.
Show respect.
Choose love.

Botswana is arguably one of the best safari destinations in Southern Africa, if not the whole of Africa. It has vast game reserves and national parks, including the unique Okavango Delta, the Moremi National Park, Chobe National Park, the Makgadikgadi Pans and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. These are some of Africa’s last great wilderness areas and magnificent safari destinations. Botswana has an upmarket tourist policy that promotes high cost, low volume tourism that discourages an influx of low-income tourists whose impact can cause irreparable damage to ecosystems.
Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park is one of the largest National Parks in Botswana and famous for its high concentration of game, especially elephant. The National Park is situated at the Northwest of Botswana, close to the Victoria Falls, with diverse beauty and eco-systems ranging from lush plains, dense forest to hot dry hinterland.
The Chobe river area, easily accessible from Zimbabwe and Zambia contains an interesting variety of habitats and is rich in plant life. Many a tree has suffered considerable damage from the high number of elephants who push them over and rip off the bark. Hippos and elephants epitomise this park more than other animals but you will still experience some of the finest game viewing in Africa with huge herds of buffalo and zebras. And it is known, where there are buffalo, lions are never far away and there is a good chance of seeing large prides including hyena, leopard and cheetah, who all enjoy a variety of game.
Chobe can be accessed by road from Livingstone, Victoria Falls and Kasane.
Central Kalahari
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is in the centre of Botswana, covering about three quarters of the western part of the country and characterised by golden sanddunes, vast open plains, saltpans and ancient riverbeds. Nothing quiet prepares you for the immensity of this reserve, not its wild, not its mysterious beauty. Once there you get the impression of unending space …
The main wildlife concentrations are in the northern half, known as Deception Valley and definitely a highlight, principally because of the dense concentrations of herbivores attracted by the sweet grasslands during and after the rainy season. Other game to be seen in this area are lion, leopard, brown hyena, giraffe, warthog, cheetah, wild dog, leopard, lion, blue wildebeest, eland, gemsbok, kudu, red hartebeest and springbok.
Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve
Makgadikgadi lies southeast of the Okavango Delta, a series of salt pans with sandy desert in between. A dry salty clay crust most of the year, the pans are seasonally covered with water and grass, and are then a refuge for birds and animals in this very arid part of the world. Interspersed between the pans are sand dunes, rocky islands and peninsulas, and desert terrain.
In the wet season, this reserve can offer great wildlife viewing, particularly when large herds of zebra and wildebeest begin their westward migration; other species include gemsbok, eland and red hartebeest, as well as kudu, bushbuck, duiker, giraffe, springbok, steenbok, and even elephant, with all the accompanying predators, as well as the rare brown hyena. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1813 | {"url": "https://alphadestinations.com/southern-africa/botswana/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "alphadestinations.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:51:59Z", "digest": "sha1:YPLFZFSPVADWWUUMNVMRXSTKH6IZDF47"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3210, 3210.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3210, 6567.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3210, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3210, 118.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3210, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3210, 207.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3210, 0.36744966]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3210, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3210, 0.04429171]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3210, 0.01718213]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3210, 0.01947308]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3210, 0.01909126]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3210, 0.00167785]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3210, 0.09090909]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3210, 0.12919463]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3210, 0.52030948]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3210, 5.06576402]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3210, 0.00167785]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3210, 5.11014531]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3210, 517.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 579, 1.0], [579, 599, 0.0], [599, 923, 1.0], [923, 1543, 1.0], [1543, 1618, 1.0], [1618, 1635, 0.0], [1635, 2010, 0.0], [2010, 2442, 1.0], [2442, 2473, 0.0], [2473, 2848, 1.0], [2848, 3210, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 579, 0.0], [579, 599, 0.0], [599, 923, 0.0], [923, 1543, 0.0], [1543, 1618, 0.0], [1618, 1635, 0.0], [1635, 2010, 0.0], [2010, 2442, 0.0], [2442, 2473, 0.0], [2473, 2848, 0.0], [2848, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 579, 88.0], [579, 599, 3.0], [599, 923, 52.0], [923, 1543, 109.0], [1543, 1618, 12.0], [1618, 1635, 2.0], [1635, 2010, 61.0], [2010, 2442, 65.0], [2442, 2473, 4.0], [2473, 2848, 66.0], [2848, 3210, 55.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 579, 0.0], [579, 599, 0.0], [599, 923, 0.0], [923, 1543, 0.0], [1543, 1618, 0.0], [1618, 1635, 0.0], [1635, 2010, 0.0], [2010, 2442, 0.0], [2442, 2473, 0.0], [2473, 2848, 0.0], [2848, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 579, 0.0], [579, 599, 0.0], [599, 923, 0.0], [923, 1543, 0.0], [1543, 1618, 0.0], [1618, 1635, 0.0], [1635, 2010, 0.0], [2010, 2442, 0.0], [2442, 2473, 0.0], [2473, 2848, 0.0], [2848, 3210, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 579, 0.03799655], [579, 599, 0.15], [599, 923, 0.04012346], [923, 1543, 0.01290323], [1543, 1618, 0.06666667], [1618, 1635, 0.11764706], [1635, 2010, 0.02133333], [2010, 2442, 0.00925926], [2442, 2473, 0.12903226], [2473, 2848, 0.01333333], [2848, 3210, 0.00276243]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3210, 0.77363896]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3210, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3210, 0.2701394]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3210, -10.18852465]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3210, 39.75568671]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3210, 69.50837202]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3210, 19.0]]} |

Virtual Reality Has A New Music Career
VR has taken consumers by storm and VR headsets are becoming a normality in schools, museums, and more. I have used VR headsets before and I think they are fun to use for gameplay or educational purposes. The VR industry has seen a growth in consumer usage in the past few years and this could have been caused by the creation of the metaverse or people having to find more remote ways to stay connected. Now the company AmazeVR has partnered with a popular Korean pop studio, SM Entertainment, on a new project Studio A.
Now that virtual concerts have been held successfully on websites like Roblox, more companies are looking at ways to hold paid online virtual events. Studio A will create immersive VR concerts using AmazeVR’s VR creation tools. Any musical artist that is signed with SM Entertainment will be able to hold virtual concerts. This gives the artists a chance to see fans from around the world that can’t attend the concert due to distance or timing. According to Statista, the Korean pop industry has grown in the past years and has made over 756 million USD in 2019.
If this partnership is successful, this could change the music industry and how concerts are conducted because other companies will start to do the same. This is also a good time for consumer electronics retailers to start improving their VR headsets. Some VR headsets are fun to use, but it’s not as comfortable to wear for people with certain hairstyles or who wear glasses. The audio could be more immersive with surround sound and the headset could be less heavy. There are multiple improvements that current VR headsets could make to improve the metaverse experience.
As the metaverse continues to grow, the need for VR equipment could become more necessary. According to Yahoo Finance, the Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Market is expected to surpass 1,247 billion by 2030. The need for virtual reality products is expected to rise and consumers will want VR tech that can keep up with advanced graphics. No one wants to have poor video or picture definition when on the internet because it hinders the experience. The more VR and AR are incorporated into schools, jobs, and everyday life the market will continue to have a constant need for a better product. Consumer technology retailers should get ready to enter the VR market or figure out how to improve their products as the rise in VR technology approaches. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1815 | {"url": "https://amazevr.rockpaperscissors.biz/artist/18485/press_clips/28565/white", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "amazevr.rockpaperscissors.biz", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:10:18Z", "digest": "sha1:WTMKMQ3BJ4XDA435WPZ32DGAK7EHIDQR"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2452, 2452.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2452, 2692.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2452, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2452, 22.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2452, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2452, 279.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2452, 0.44372294]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2452, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2452, 0.02502503]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2452, 0.01301301]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2452, 0.01101101]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2452, 0.04978355]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2452, 0.08874459]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2452, 0.51184834]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2452, 4.73459716]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2452, 4.93008661]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2452, 422.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 561, 1.0], [561, 1125, 1.0], [1125, 1698, 1.0], [1698, 2452, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 561, 0.0], [561, 1125, 0.0], [1125, 1698, 0.0], [1698, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 39, 7.0], [39, 561, 95.0], [561, 1125, 97.0], [1125, 1698, 95.0], [1698, 2452, 128.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 561, 0.0], [561, 1125, 0.01258993], [1125, 1698, 0.0], [1698, 2452, 0.01076716]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 39, 0.0], [39, 561, 0.0], [561, 1125, 0.0], [1125, 1698, 0.0], [1698, 2452, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 39, 0.17948718], [39, 561, 0.04022989], [561, 1125, 0.03900709], [1125, 1698, 0.01919721], [1698, 2452, 0.0331565]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2452, 0.86307079]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2452, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2452, 0.04737431]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2452, -97.64374196]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2452, 39.29926464]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2452, -83.99682012]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2452, 20.0]]} |
Landing Page Optimization Tools
Instapage Landing Page Builder: A Overview Landing Page Optimization Tools
Before we can get to the bottom, it is important that you understand what Instapage actually is as a platform. Instapage is a landing-page builder that helps you create attractive, eye-catching and high-quality landing pages. However, it’s not just any average landing page editor. Instapage is backed by a number of powerful tools that make it simple to quickly create high-converting landing page templates.
Instapage offers advanced analytics tools that allow you to monitor how each page performs, in keeping with its promise of delivering outstanding conversion rates and promising leads through your landing pages. Additionally, to help you make the most of your landing pages, it allows you to connect with leading marketing, reporting, and testing platforms, making it highly possible to reach your goals quickly. Instapage is a popular online landing page builder because of these features and many more.
Although the idea of creating a landing page sounds appealing, it comes at a significant cost. There are many factors that can affect the cost of creating a landing site, including the complexity of the design and the resources required to build it. That said, if you want a feature-rich landing page with a more complex design, that would be too expensive to build and maintain. It doesn’t help, either, if you don’t have the skills or time to create one yourself and would rather rely on hiring a designer or agency to do it for you. Going that route would eventually cost you a few hundred to several thousand dollars more than your budget would allow.
So, if you want to create high-quality, high-converting landing pages – the same ones that any established web designer can do, yet need more money to splurge on one, Instapage could be your ideal solution. It offers a wide array of features and customization options, making it simple to design a page that looks great and functions perfectly.
Signing in to Instapage will be your first step. It already has a lot of tools and features that you need to create beautiful landing pages. Here are just some of the offerings this platform has to bring:
The first step that you’ll need to take is to sign up and create your account. You won’t be able to fully experience Instapage until you sign up. As soon as you log in, you’ll first notice your dashboard, where you’ll find a full overview of how much progress you’ll be making. You won’t see much on your dashboard because this is your first attempt. It’s okay, you’ll learn how to create your own landing page. Let’s get started!
Now, let’s say we’re building a landing page to launch a product. What are you going to do in this situation? You can start by selecting “Product Launch” from the filter. Next, choose one of the themes that will appear in the search results. A page preview will be displayed to you as you select the landing page design you feel best fits your product. This preview will give you an idea of the final product when it is made available to the public.
Then, it’s up to you whether you’re going to use it or not. If, for some reason, you don’t vibe with the layout, and you can always go back and skim through until you find the perfect fit. Otherwise, if you like it, then you can click “Use this layout.” Once you’ve chosen your landing page design, you’ll need to come up with a name as a way to keep things in order.
Now that you have your page layout, it is time to personalize it to your liking. The Instapage page creator will redirect you immediately. This is a feature that I love and everyone seems to agree with. This stage allows you to enhance the visual appeal and engagement of your landing page. The best part of it all is that you don’t need to do any of the work since Instapage does it for you.
You can add and rearrange visual elements to your Instapage Builder experience. Additionally, you can add interactive features like surveys and text box forms to help capture user data easily while keeping them engaged. You can also use fonts, colors, and other design elements to further enhance the look of your page. Landing Page Optimization Tools
In Instapage terms, a set of elements grouped is called a block. A block can be modified with a few adjustments and elements. You can also copy, duplicate, or even delete it if you wish. This is just how to create a block. If you don’t have enough time or confidence in your page-building skills you can always use the Instapage Builder’s block templates.
This is the most important part. Once your page is ready and optimized, the next thing you must need to do is to publish it to make it live and accessible to your audience. Publishing a landing page is an important step in the process of creating success in whatever you’re promoting, whether it’s a product or a service. This will ensure that your page is seen by as many people as possible and help you to increase traffic to your site. Landing Page Optimization Tools
While you can add certain elements to create a block within a page, you get the added benefit of being able to save and reuse it whenever you want to create another page. To further cut the time spent on building landing pages in half, you can save the blocks you made yourself as Instablocks, which you can implement when you create other pages in future projects. Simply right-click the block you wish to reuse, and then click “Save To My Blocks”. Landing Page Optimization Tools
Global Blocks, on the other hand, work in the same way as Instablocks. The only difference is that they are specific to one page. At the same time, the latter looks consistent even across multiple pages that have it included. This means if you edit a Global Block on one page, all the changes will be reflected on the same block built into other pages. This feature can be useful if you have a section of your website, such as a header or footer, that you want to be consistent across multiple pages. However, you can always disable it if you prefer.
Split-testing multiple versions of a landing pages is possible with Instapage. Click on the “Traffic Split” button in the Builder to view the options. This allows you to compare and contrast different versions of the page to determine which one performs best. You can create multiple pages and choose the percentage of traffic that will be sent to each version. Instapage will then show you detailed analytics to help you determine which version is performing best. You can use the winning page as your final landing page layout or continue testing it with different variants to optimize it, ensuring that your page delivers the best possible visitor experience and improves conversion rates. Landing Page Optimization Tools
Instapage’s many benefits include the ability to collaborate with others and create an immersive experience. With the platform’s live collaboration, working in groups or as a team will be possible. You can add comments to different pages by clicking on the blocks or elements. This feature is helpful if you have any suggestions or requests for changes to the layout and design.
Instapage also allows you to share your page with your team members, even if it is still in progress. This URL can be copied and shared in the group chat. You can invite them all with their email addresses. Not only can your page be accessed by fellow Instapage users – those who don’t have one can also take a look at what you’re working on.
AdMap lets you customize your ads according to your audience’s preferences and behavior. It can help optimize customer journeys by identifying and eliminating roadblocks and pain points that prevent customers from converting. It can also help users to see how changes to an ad or page affect the overall performance of their campaign. With its easy-to-use interface and detailed analytics reports, Instapage AdMap is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to increase their ROI and conversion rate. To access the feature, you will need a Google Ads account. Landing Page Optimization Tools
Instapage’s native heatmap analytics allows you to see how users interact with your landing pages. This will allow you to gain valuable insight into customers’ use of a website. This tool allows businesses to identify hotspots in their websites, such as pages visited the most or buttons clicked most frequently.
Heatmaps can also be used to identify usability issues that customers might have, which allows businesses to quickly and effectively make improvements. This can be used to track visitor journeys across multiple pages and devices, providing valuable information about how customers engage with content and websites and helping businesses grow and succeed in the long run. Landing Page Optimization Tools
Instapage excels as both a landing-page creator and a lead generation tool. Its analytics section perfectly reflects this. As one of the platform’s top-selling assets, real-time analytics gives you a full scope of how well your page is performing online, thanks to its detailed visuals and accurate numbers. This feature allows you to monitor and analyze their landing pages’ performance. The feature provides detailed information on metrics such as page views, unique visitors, bounce rates, and more. This data can be used to improve and optimize landing pages, and in turn, improve the business’ overall standing.
Considering its wide and robust range of advanced-level tools and features, it’s no surprise that Instapage’s price range is more high-end than other landing page software. Previously, the cost of its services started at $68, but today, it’s priced at as low as $199 every month. For smaller businesses that have limited budgets, the pricing might be too steep. Still, it’s worth noting that Instapage provides much more than any landing page editor can, including WordPress.

Immigration as art
Early Sikh Immigrants to America. (Source: Wikipedia.)
In an interview with The Atlantic, author Edwidge Danticat offers a perspective on the immigrant experience — that of artistic creation (via @simranik):
My parents spent their entire lives in Haiti before they left. They didn’t know much about the United States except that, at that time, there were opportunities there. They basically packed two suitcases and came. That experience of touching down in a totally foreign place is like having a blank canvas: You begin with nothing, but stroke by stroke you build a life. This process requires everything great art requires—risk-tasking, hope, a great deal of imagination, all the qualities that are the building blocks of art. You must be able to dream something nearly impossible and toil to bring it into existence.
Danticat also discusses the pressure on first generation immigrant children to justify the sacrifices made by their parents. Read more at The Atlantic.

Book Note: Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee
One of the highlights of my life was the day I stood on the Oregon trail.
(I am wearing pioneer clothes because...well, you know. Pioneer trek reenactment. And people say Mormons are weird.)
This was when I went on a pioneer trek with the youth in my church. It was a highlight because I have always loved pioneer stories, but before doing research for the trek, I had no idea of just how many people I am descended from who crossed the country on the Oregon trail. Those rare times when it seems that history and my life right now overlap are moments that are full of meaning to me; they are memorable and change my focus in ways I didn't expect. Walking on the exact same ground that my great, great, great, great grandmother also walked (as well as many other great-something grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles) felt holy to me. They became much more real to me.
But even before I knew so much about my ancestors, I was drawn to trail stories. Not so much Westerns (in the Louis L'Amour tradition) but novels about people traveling across the country in epic journeys. Come to think of it, the only Western I really love, Lonesome Dove, really is more of a epic pioneer story than anything else, even though the "pioneers" aren't a traditional family.
At any rate, when I read about Under a Painted Sky after a patron suggested we get it for the library, I wanted to read it immediately. It is the story of Samantha, who is living in St. Joe, Missouri, with her father. They moved there after her mother died, when they left New York City to start over. Half Asian, half French, Sammie seemed to fit in OK in New York, but in St. Joe she is an anomaly, viewed with suspicion. When her father is killed, she has to flee St. Joe.
Luckily, she meets Annamae, a run-away slave also trying to escape from St. Joe. Striking up a fast friendship, the two decide to travel to California together on the Oregon trail, pretending to be boys—named Andy and Sam—in order to escape suspicion. (They are both likely to show up on "wanted" posters.) A couple of days outside of Missouri, they strike up a friendship with a group of three cowboys, Cay, West, and Peety, and conspire to stick with them in order to learn the skills they need to survive on the trail.
I loved this book.
Sure—one might complain that Andy and Sam don't really make convincing boys, and it's a little bit far-fetched that they aren't immediately uncovered. But I just chose to go with the conceit because I enjoyed the story so much. It is a plot made richer by interesting characters and the addition of Andy's straightforward faith and Sam's intricate knowledge of literature, music, and Asian philosophy. (Her father insisted she be educated while they were living in New York.) They characters have all sorts of adventures, from surviving a cattle stampede to crossing rivers to saving their horses from wild mustangs.
But my favorite part of the book was Sam and Andy's friendship. If you are lucky in your life, you come across two or maybe three people with whom you immediately connect, and this is how their friendship is. It starts with a mutual need (escaping St. Joe) but grows into something much deeper and valuable. They have to learn how to trust each other and how to communicate around their cultural differences, but each girl has something the other can lean on. As I think more YA novels need strong girl friendships, I loved this.
It's also a book full of adventure, history, and (yes, or course) romance. I gobbled it down in less than two days and I've found myself falling into good memories of the story as well. It felt like it ended with the possibility of a sequel—it wrapped up well and didn't leave me hanging, but I can see the story continuing on. (In fact, I really hope it does!) It reminded me of that day I walked along the Oregon trail and of the sacrifices and hardships so many people went through to build our country. I loved it and can't wait to recommend it to other readers of historical fiction.

Trek Photo Album: a little teaser
finally got some of my photos from trek scrapbooked! Rather than just making a layout, I made a mini (8x8) album. Here's a teaser:
Go HERE to see more details!
I made this album for Jake. One day soon I'm going to make one for Haley and one for myself as well.
One thing that this album reminded me: big projects come together so much faster when the journaling is already written! I just had to tweak a little bit, and proofread, and then the journaling was done.
One thing that this album taught me: how to print small, double-sided booklets full of journaling without using Publisher. (As I don't have Publisher on my computer at home!) It's a little tricky and involves some cutting and pasting and some strange arranging of pages, but it can be done!
Another thing this album reminded me: I really, really loved going on trek, despite the cold.
And: despite my insecurities over being the historian, I did get some good photos.
Oh! And it also taught me: 6x8 prints are an awesome size!
Anyway. If you also went on trek, or know someone who did, you might hop over and see the rest of the album!

Trek, in Five Minutes
A few weeks ago, I was asked to speak at our stake youth conference today about my Trek experiences. Specifically, I needed to focus on how my trek experiences have changed me and what I will continue to take forward in my life with me.
The only catch? I needed to speak for about five minutes.
Five minutes is hard! Twenty minutes would be easier. It was hard to narrow down and explain everything I wanted to say into 300 seconds. On the other hand, it was easy. Having only five minutes limited the topics I could touch on; five minutes eliminated most of the touchier and more detailed ideas I had. Because much of what I learned while I was in Wyoming is intensly personal and has so much backstory to it, I'm not sure how much time I would need to truly tell everything. A few people have also asked me why I haven't blogged about it, and the answer is the same: it is hard to explain without going into my entire life's history. Also, it reveals much about me that I am not sure I want in the public space of a blog.
I very nearly focused all my five minutes on my beliefs about keeping a journal. Here is why. Before I started preparing for the trek, I felt very nearly angry at my ancestors for not keeping journals. I know it is strange, but I do have a deep curiousity about those whose lives helped create mine. I wish I knew more about them. Especially when my Grandma Elsie died, I was angry. She was a reader so I assumed that, like me, she'd also been a writer, but she wasn't. I had high hopes we'd find a journal among her possessions, but they were dashed. But, when I was first thinking about the Trek—before I even knew if I would go or not—Becky discovered the journal of our great, great, great, great uncle, Samuel Openshaw.
He had been in the Martin handcart company, along with his parents and four other siblings. His brother, Levi, was my great great great grandfather. If you're Mormon, you know exactly who the Martin handcart company was. If not, a brief recap: they were pioneers who came to Salt Lake in 1856. Because there was a shortage of wagons and oxen, and because many of them were very poor, they used handcarts instead of wagons—and pushed them themselves from Iowa City to Salt Lake City. This wasn't the first or the last group of handcart pioneers, but they were the ones who suffered the most.
They got a late start, leaving Iowa City in late July. (They should have already been to Independence Rock by July 4.) A series of negative experiences—lost cattle, broken axels, bad food—set them back, but really it was an early snowstorm that caused the tragedy. The handcart companies were stranded by Devil's Gate in Wyoming, with roughly 350 miles left before they reached Salt Lake, by that snowstorm. When all was told, 213 of them died because of starvation, cold, or exhaustion; most were buried in simple snow graves as the ground was too frozen to dig proper burial sites. By grace, they survived; the people already living in the Salt Lake valley sent rescue wagons with food and clothing and strong men to help. (Some of the survivors also perished.)
The stories of the Martin and Willey handcart companies are touchstones of our faith. They are important because they help us remember many things and because they serve as examples of faith, survival, and indominable will to continue pushing forward, no matter what. During the Trek, we walked on many of the same trails that those pioneers did. I had to overcome a handful of obstacles to get myself and my kids there, but I was determined, both for myself and for them, to experience it. The things I learned about kindness, weakness, persistence, friendship, and faith will continue to influence me. In five hours, perhaps, I could tell you all I learned. Here is what I spoke about in the five minutes I had today (roughly, of course...these are just my notes):
My great great great great grandmother, Ann Walmsley Greenhalgh Openshaw, was a member of the Martin handcart company. Before she started across the plains with her handcart, she had traveled by tallship from England, where she was converted to the church, to Boston Harbor, by train to Buffalo, New York, and then on to Iowa City, where she and her family had been hoping to purchase a wagon. Since there were no wagons, they took up handcarts.
Ann was fifty at the time and she traveled with her husband and five of her seven children. The other two were waiting in the Salt Lake Valley.
The amazing thing about this story is that, for thirty-something years, I sat and listened to sacrament meeting and general conference talks about the Martin handcart company, and for most of those years I had no clue that I was a descendent of people who survived this trial. Only when I started doing research for the Trek did I discover the journal of Samuel Openshaw, who was Ann’s son and the designated journal-keeper for the family. Discovering Samuel’s journal in the BYU archives and having access to it is one of my life’s greatest treasures.
While we were on the trek, Ann’s name was the one I wore on my wrist. I thought of her often as I walked the same paths she walked. I especially thought about her on the first morning, when I woke in a tent I was a guest in, my own having been blown down by the night's winds. I was alone in the tent and I thought I cannot get out of this tent. Leaving the warmth of my sleeping bag, having to put on a brave face for all the youth around me—not to mention the pioneer clothes—felt impossible. But I thought of Ann, how every morning for months she would have had to crawl out of her tent, out into the weather, many days without much of anything to feed her family. She gave me courage to move forward.
As we trekked, I wondered: what was she really like? What did she love in her life? What did she think about her journey across three-quarters of America? How did she feel about her children? What did she think about in the early mornings of her journey, before she got out of her tent and started preparing? Where did she find her courage?
This talk could easily have been about my testimony of keeping a journal. How I wish Ann had kept a journal so she could tell me the answers to the things I wondered about! But many of you have already heard that testimony, so I am sharing something slightly different.
On the third day of the trek, remember the 45 minutes or so we spent waiting for our turn to do the women’s pull? The handcarts were all loaded and waiting, and I wandered off for a bit. I sat alone on the bridge that crossed the Sweetwater river and took a few pictures. The meadow was full of tiny, delicate iris, white with purple edges. The air had finally warmed a bit, the sky was blue and so was the water. There were snow-capped mountains in the distance. I sat on the bridge and thought about my ancestor, Ann, and just for a moment I was filled with her spirit. I didn’t know anymore details about her life, but what I was left with was the spirit of her courage.
So one of the ways that the Trek continues to influence me is that it gave me more courage. When I am having one of those mornings when crawling out of bed seems like the hardest thing to do in all of mortality, I think of Ann. I think of her having to crawl out of her tent and face the hardships of landscape and lack of food and exhaustion and what must have been overwhelming terror of losing any of her family. I think of her courage that I felt there at the river. And I get out of bed, or I do whatever else I need to that I am not sure I have the courage to do. Being in the same place as my ancestors and having just the smallest taste of what they experienced has given me a courage I didn’t know I had.

Trek: A Few Photos
I've been working on photoshopping the 600+ photos I took on the Trek. (And feeling grateful that I didn't take almost 2,000 like others I know!) I am a slow and hesitant photoshopper so it takes me awhile. I've just uploaded the first of the photos, those I took when we were at Independence Rock. (You'll see them when you scroll down past the "recent posts" on the left side of my blog.) I have labeled all the photos with the names of people I know, but if you were on the Trek and know names I don't, will you please, please email me?
Because I rode in a car instead of the bus, we arrived about 45 minutes before the kids did. I grabbed the opportunity to sit in the silence near the rock, thinking about the people who had passed this way. You hear about the distances the pioneers traveled—nearly 1300 miles—but it starts to come into scope when you see all the rolling distances. Many of my own ancestors stopped in this same place. I wrote in my journal, photographed the landscape, and wondered how it really felt, making it to this enormous marker.
Later, after we'd eaten lunch, we climbed up to the top. The wind was fierce at the top. It was different than I expected; more conglomerate than smooth stone. The boys were running around, jumping over cracks, dropping their water bottles and shoes into the crevices, making me anxious. I finally just had to sit back and not nag, hoping no one got hurt. (No one did.) Somehow I managed to be one of the last of our group—not on purpose, but because the kids who left last went down a different route. I sat in the silence for a minute, thinking about a question someone else had asked me. "Why do you think those footsore and exhausted pioneers took the time and energy to climb this rock?" a friend asked as we huffed to the top.
I didn't have answer for her while we climbed, or even when the top was crowded with laughing teenagers. But in those few moments of solitude—alone save one lonely rabbit—I looked across the landscape. A few rolling hills, an enormity of prairie, a few mountain-ish peaks in the distance. High enough to watch the shadows of the clouds cast patterns on the ground. The wind tugging at my bonnet and telling its persistent secrets in my ear. I think they climbed it because it was a reprieve from the endless days of moving West, always West, the sun behind them and then glaring in their face all afternoon, the stretches of monotonous travel. Almost to me it seems like it might have felt like walking on the treadmill: always moving but never getting anywhere. Arriving at Independence Rock and climbing it (some pioneers also carved their name into the stone) must have been a relief to them, a change; an exhilaration of height and wind to keep with them.

What Is the Advantage of Using Components in Figma?
Using components in Figma is a great way to create designs that are consistent and efficient. Components are reusable elements that you can use to quickly build out designs.
They provide numerous benefits for designers, including increased speed and scalability, improved collaboration, and a streamlined workflow.
Speed and Scalability
Components are great for speeding up the design process. By creating base components that can be reused throughout the project, designers can quickly generate the elements they need without having to start from scratch each time. Designers can also adjust individual components as needed or clone them for variations.
The scalability of components also makes it easy to apply changes across an entire project. With just a few clicks, you can update text, colors, shapes, and more. This saves time when making modifications as well as keeping designs consistent across multiple pages.
Figma’s component library feature makes it easy to share components with team members. Designers can add components to their library that others on the team can access at any time. This helps ensure everyone is using the same assets when working on a project.
Streamlined Workflow
Components make it easier to stay organized during the design process by logically grouping elements together. Figma’s component overrides also let designers adjust properties of a single element without affecting related ones. This prevents developers from having to make unnecessary changes when building out projects.
Using components in Figma provides numerous advantages for designers, such as increased speed and scalability, improved collaboration, and a streamlined workflow. Components help increase productivity while ensuring that designs remain consistent across multiple pages.

It has a wide range of features that make it an invaluable tool for designers, from its intuitive user interface to its component-based approach to design. One of the most powerful features of Figma is its component properties.
How Do I Use a Component in Figma?
Using components in Figma is an efficient way to make changes and modifications to a design quickly and with minimal effort. Components are essentially reusable pieces of design that you can apply to multiple objects in your project, such as a color palette or font. With components, you can quickly switch out colors or fonts across multiple objects in your project, making it easier to maintain consistency and keep track of changes.
How Do You Use Components and Variants in Figma?
Components and Variants in Figma are a powerful tool for designers that allow them to quickly create consistent, reusable design elements. With components and variants, you can create complex designs that remain consistent across multiple projects, saving time and effort. Components are objects or groups of objects that are treated as a single entity.
Why Would One Create a Component in Figma?
Designers use a variety of tools to create user interfaces, including Figma. Figma is an online design tool that allows designers to collaborate and create designs with their teams in real-time. It has a wide range of features which makes it one of the most popular design tools today.
How Do You Use Component Sets in Figma?
Component Sets in Figma are a great way to create and organize design elements. They help you create a consistent look and feel across different projects and screens. With Component Sets, you can quickly build complex UI designs with minimal effort.
How Do You Use Figma Components?
Figma components are a great way for designers to quickly and easily create designs that are consistent and repeatable. Components provide a layer of abstraction between the designer and the code, allowing them to focus on design rather than implementation. With Figma components, designers can create complex designs in a fraction of the time it would take to write code manually.

Cheap Adult Hosting: What You Can Learn From Perfect 10 v. Google
Khristen Foss
You may remember, years ago, when the adult hosting site for ‘Perfect 10 Magazine' sued Google, Amazon, and the credit card processing company CWIE for numerous allegations which included unfair competition; copyright and trademark infringement; violation of right of publicity; and false advertising amongst others.
Well, the adult hosting site's battle against Google ended in 2012 after a long and drawn out eleven-year legal nightmare. Google was being sued over copyright infringements including Google's use of cached images. Despite ‘Perfect 10' offering $25,000 to any person who could prove wrongdoing (which no one ever cashed in on), the case was dismissed.
Cheap Hosting Lawsuit Perfect 10 v. Google
Google was sued by Perfect 10 back in 2001, when the adult hosting site requested a permanent injunction against Google to keep it from copying and distributing thumbnails of images from their magazine, as well as attempting to stop Google from linking to sites that illegally hosted Perfect 10 content.
The court initially agreed with the fact Google should not be using the thumbnails. But later on, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the ruling. They said Google's use of the thumbnails was “fair use.”
Perfect 10, unhappy with this ruling, fired back with a variety of secondary liability claims. Most were supported by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and of course opposed by the digital rights group Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
Eight grueling years of legal battles and two unsuccessful requests for the Supreme Court to review the case, it moved to the District Court. Both Google and the adult hosting site pointed fingers at each other, claiming they were breaking the rules. And towards the end, Perfect 10 went the unconventional route to justice, releasing this plea for readers to help out:
“Perfect 10 is offering $25,000 to the person who provides us with the most compelling non-public evidence of Google's illegal conduct between now and February 28,2012…” the public appeal stated.
It did not generate any evidence for the adult hosting site.
The End Of The Battle
In the end, both Google and Perfect 10 agreed to dismiss the case with prejudice. A Google representative wouldn't say if there was a behind-closed-doors settlement involved.
Why A Dismissal?
Why would the cheap hosting site agree to dismiss the case? It probably has something to do with the fact the court asked Perfect 10 to open its books, showing the court all communications within the company regarding the lawsuit. Was there something they wanted to hide? It is certainly possible.
No True End In Sight
Yes, Google and the adult hosting site have had the suit dismissed. However, the other suits are still going strong. Their other suits, copyright cases against companies like Amazon, Hot-file, Mega-upload, and more are still going strong. In fact, they have added Yandex, Russia's version of Google, to the list of defendants, as well as Tumbler.
What Can You Learn?
Unless you are a search engine, not much. It is because Google is a search engine and not directly hosting the material that they were not found to violate any copyright laws. The thumbnails included in their image results page are simply there to direct you to Perfect 10's homepage.
What you need to know is this: assure that all pictures and materials put up on your website are yours, or that you've been granted permission to use the materials. You do not want to find yourself in court: it won't be as easy as it was for Google.
Do you think Google should have been found guilty? Do you agree with the court's decision?

The Great Pyramid at Giza
The Great Pyramid at Giza is an awesome sight, thirty times larger than the Empire State Building(in mass), the Pyramid’s features are so large they can be seen from the Moon. The oldest structure in existence, having been started 4,617 years ago, it is the sole remnant of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The Great Pyramid did not always look as “rough” as it does today. Originally it was encased with a layer of tight-fitting, highly polished 20-ton stone slabs.W.M. Flinders Petrie determined the exact dimensions of the sides of the Pyramids and he found that they were almost exactly the same length to a accuracy of 0.1 +/- inch.
The Great Pyramid is the most comprehensively studied building in the world. It sited at the northern edge of the Giza plateau. It was estimated that 2,300,000 blocks of stone, weighing between 2-70 tons each, were used in its construction, but recent computer calculations estimated the total number of slabs to be 590,712. The mortar used is of an unknown origin. It has been analyzed and it’s chemical composition is known but even using today techniques it can’t be reproduced.
The Pyramid contains two interior chambers and a number of interior shafts. Below is a computer generated image of the pyramid:
Facts about The Great Pyramid
The temperature inside The Great Pyramid is at a constant 68 degrees Fahrenheit, which is exactly the same at the earths internal temperature.
The side of the pyramids used to be covered in mantle slabs, 144,000 in all, and would have been visible from the mountains in Israel and the moon.
The only remaining “seven wonders of the world”.
The area covered by the Great Pyramid can accommodate St Peter’s in Rome, the cathedrals of Florence and Milan, and Westminster and St Paul’s in London combined.
It has been suggested that there are enough blocks in the three pyramids to build a 3 m (10 ft) high 0.3 m (1 ft) thick wall around France.
The great pyramid was built during the reign of Khufu (Cheops in Greek), 2nd king of the fourth dynasty ± 2,720-2,560 BC
Although Classical Egyptologist’s maintain that there is no significance to the way the pyramids are laid out, be it the terrain of the plateau or just an accident, recent studies by Robert Buvaul has raised another possibility, were the pyramids built in a specific manner or more importantly, were they built in a specific position?
Below are two pictures one an aerial view of The Great Pyramids and the other a picture of The Belts Of Orion:
The Egyptians being worshipers of the stars have seemed to have copied what they saw in the night sky, just a coincidence? Or has Robert Buvaul come up with the answer, Classical Egyptologist’s seemed to have snubbed the idea but to those of us who have open minds this seems a great possibility.

Anime With The Longest & Most Ridiculous Titles
15. I’ve Somehow Gotten Stronger When I Improved My Farm-Related Skills
Al Wayne, a young man, vows to become the king of farmers by mastering all farm-related skills. He eventually realises his ambition of becoming the greatest farmer of all time. However, the day he mastered these farm-related skills, his life changed completely.
14. This Ultimate Next-Gen Full Dive RPG Is Even Shittier Than Real Life!
“Kiwame Quest” debuted ten years ago, at the pinnacle of the VRMMO development industry, with unrivalled potential. From humanlike NPCs to the perfect replication of all senses and physical abilities, this game sought ultimate realism, boasting a massive total of 10 sexdecillion possible story scenarios. However, it became clear very quickly that the game was far too realistic, and the popularity of VRMMOs in general began to dwindle.
After an accident a few years ago, Hiroshi Yuuki, a high school student, now uses full-dive RPGs as a form of escapism. Hiroshi comes across a game shop and meets its lovely clerk Reona Kisaragi, who persuades him to buy a copy of Kiwame Quest so they can play together.
Hiroshi is astounded by the game’s realism the first time he plays it. His surprise, however, is short-lived, as he causes a string of misfortunes, quickly realising that the game is worse than his already stressful life. Hiroshi finds himself returning to the game despite his growing disdain for it. Hiroshi has no second chances in his current situation, so he only has one goal—clear the game!
13. I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense
Kaede Honjou reluctantly agrees to try New World Online, a popular VRMMO played by thousands of people across Japan, after an enthusiastic invitation from a friend. She begins her journey by naming her in-game character Maple. As a complete newcomer to such games, she devotes all of her stat points to vitality in order to avoid injury. Maple has an extremely high defence despite having no points in any other stat, but she can’t move quickly or hit hard.
This, however, has no negative consequences for her. Maple gains powerful skills such as Total Defense, Poison Immunity, and Devour as a result of her strong defense. These abilities, combined with the extremely powerful items she obtains, allow her to annihilate the majority of her enemies in a single blow. Maple places third in a server-wide event after only a few days of playing the game, establishing a reputation as a player who is both unkillable and absurdly powerful.
Kaede, despite her fiery personality, has a lot to learn. She meets new friends and acquaintances as she progresses through the game, who assist her in completing new levels and events. During her adventures, she may discover some extraordinary abilities that far exceed her expectations.
12. I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level
Slimes are typically the easiest monsters to defeat in RPGs, so they provide few experience points. But what if you live long enough to defeat them repeatedly for the next 300 years?
Azusa Aizawa, a corporate slave for many years, dies unexpectedly of exhaustion. She appears to be on her way to the afterlife when she meets a goddess who grants her immortality as well as a peaceful life in another world. Azusa spends her days tending to her farm, protecting the nearby village, and killing about 25 slimes per day—a routine she has been following for at least three centuries.
This rather monotonous cycle, however, begins to change when Azusa discovers that she has achieved level 99 (the highest possible level) solely through the consumption of slimes. Despite her best efforts to keep her strength hidden for fear of jeopardising her slow life, rumours of her strength spread. People from all over the continent, including the dragon Laika and the elf Halkara, begin to appear at her door, some seeking a fight, others seeking her assistance. Azusa realises that she can live a far better life with others than she can alone after meeting friends and acquaintances who quickly become family.
11. A Romantic Comedy Where the Childhood Friend Absolutely Will Not Lose
Suehara Maru was childhood best friends with Kuroha Shida, one of Hozumino High School’s most popular girls. Kuroha is the ideal older sister: adorable, outgoing, and loving.

10. And You Thought There Is Never A Girl Online?
Hideki “Rusian” Nishimura is heartbroken after an online game girl flatly rejects him. To add insult to injury, the girl reveals herself to be an older man. Rusian makes an uncharacteristic decision in the midst of his rage, with his dreams dashed and his heart broken: he will never trust another girl in an online game again.
Years later, Rusian is a guild member alongside three other players, one of whom has a female avatar named “Ako” who is madly in love with Russian and wishes to marry him. Despite his reservations about her gender, Rusian accepts her proposal, claiming that her gender is irrelevant as long as she is attractive in the game. However, after a guild discussion leads to all of them meeting offline, Rusian discovers that Ako and the other members are not only girls, but also his classmates.
9. My Mental Choices Are Completely Interfering With My School Romantic Comedy
Kanade Amakusa’s high school life should have been normal, and it would have been had he not been cursed with the most ridiculous curse imaginable. The self-proclaimed god-imposed system “Absolute Choice” randomly presents him with a mental selection of actions that he must carry out based on his choice. To make matters worse, it always seems to happen in the most public places, and his options are always rude and crude.
As a result, the helpless boy struggles through each day, hoping to mend his already shattered reputation while avoiding the next impromptu episode of Absolute Choice. To his chagrin, the boss is always one step ahead of him, “choosing” him into the lives of several of his school’s girls. Kanade’s school life is about to get even worse when a reluctant decision he makes on his way home brings a beautiful girl crashing down from the sky, along with the promise of even more hysterically hellish choices.
8. WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?
Willem Kmetsch puts his life in danger by abandoning his loved ones to fight a mysterious monster, and despite his victory, he is frozen in ice. Fearsome creatures known as “Beasts” emerge from beneath the Earth’s surface during his icy slumber, threatening humanity’s survival. Willem awakens 500 years later to discover that he is the sole survivor of his race, as humanity has been annihilated.
Willem and the other surviving races seek refuge on the floating islands in the sky, fearful of the Beasts below. He lives alone and relies on odd jobs to make ends meet. He is assigned to be a weapon storehouse caretaker one day. Willem gladly accepts it, but soon realises that the weapons are actually a gang of young Leprechauns. They have no regard for their own lives, despite their human-like appearance, and regard themselves as nothing more than weapons of war. One of them is Chtholly Nota Seniorious, who is willing to sacrifice herself in order to defeat the Beasts and restore peace.
Willem adopts the role of a father figure for the young Leprechauns, watching over and supporting them in any way he can. He can only hope that those sent to battle return safely from the monsters who annihilated his kind.
7. Story in Which I Was Kidnapped by a Young Lady’s School to be a “Sample of the Common People”
Kimito Kagurazaka is a commoner with a fetish for men’s muscles—at least, that’s what he tells himself in order to stay out of trouble at Seikain Academy, an elite all-girls school. Kimito is kidnapped by the school on the assumption that he prefers men, and he is forced to be their “commoner sample,” exposing the girls to both commoners and men in order to ease the transition from school to the real world after school. Kimito maintains the facade in order to protect his manhood after being threatened with castration if his sexual preferences do not match the school’s assumptions.
However, there are eccentric people around every corner who further complicate Kimito’s life. Aika Tenkuubashi, a social outcast who says whatever comes to mind, Hakua Shiodome, a young genius, Karen Jinryou, a samurai’s daughter obsessed with defeating Kimito, and Reiko Arisugawa, the ideal student who dreams of marrying Kimito, are among them. The Commoner Club, comprised of these four girls and the commoner himself, attempts to teach the girls about life outside of school, while Kimito gradually learns about the strange girls who surround him.
Given the bizarre premise of the show, a grammatically correct title is the last thing on anyone’s mind. It tells the story of a teen boy who is kidnapped by an all-girls school in order to prepare sheltered students for life after school. He must pretend to be gay in order to avoid being literally castrated by the school administration.
6. Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren’t They?
Izayoi Sakamaki, Asuka Kudou, and You Kasukabe are three extraordinary teenagers with psychic abilities who are fed up with their disproportionately mundane lives—that is, until they each receive a strange envelope containing an invitation to the enigmatic Little Garden.
After being mysteriously dropped into a vast new world, Kurousagi greets the trio, explaining that they have been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in special high-stakes games using their abilities. However, in order to participate, they must first join a community. When the group learns that Kurousagi’s “No Names” community has lost its official status and abundant land due to defeat at the hands of a demon lord, they set out to help reclaim the dignity of their new home, eager to protect its residents and explore the excitement that Little Garden has to offer.
Isn’t it true that troubled kids come from another planet? is a fairly well-executed isekai anime about a group of bored geniuses who find themselves unexpectedly transported to a strange new land called Little Garden – but that title doesn’t sound particularly inspiring.
5. Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
Life is never dull in the bustling city of Orario, especially for Bell Cranel, a naive young man who aspires to be the greatest adventurer in the land. His dreams become a little more real after a chance meeting with the lonely goddess Hestia. Bell embarks on a fantastic quest with her assistance deep within the city’s monster-filled catacombs known only as the “Dungeon,” where death lurks around every corner and a mysterious power moves in the shadows.
Surviving is a hard-won privilege, even on the surface. Nothing is ever certain in a world where gods and humans coexist, especially when they frequently clash. But one thing is certain: the hero of this herculean story will face a slew of blunders, triumphs, and friendships.
Moral dilemmas such as “Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon?”
” are the polar opposite of what a lighthearted harem anime requires. What happens if you accept? Isn’t that a disaster? Anyway, this show follows Bell Cranel on his various adventures, where he meets a lot of cute girls but does not pick them up for the most part.
4. Shimoneta: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist
Japan has become a nation cleansed of all that is obscene and impure since the implementation of strict new morality laws. Authorities have gone to great lengths to ensure that society remains chaste, including monitoring citizens with special neck devices.
Tanukichi Okuma, the son of a notorious terrorist who fought against chastity laws, has just started high school and is volunteering for the student council to get closer to president Anna Nishikinomiya, his childhood friend and crush. He has no idea that the vice president, Ayame Kajou, is a masked criminal dedicated to disseminating lewd material among the sheltered public—and Tanukichi has piqued the girl’s interest due to his father’s notoriety.
Tanukichi is quickly dragged into her SOX organisation, where he is forced to spread obscene propaganda in order to help launch an attack against the government’s oppressive rule. Tanukichi will be forced to do the unthinkable when he realises their primary target is the person he admires the most, with their school as the first point of attack.
You’d think that with a title like this, the premise would be equally bizarre – and it is. Shimoneta is set in a society where anything remotely obscene or lewd is illegal. To ensure chastity, the government even forces its citizens to wear special devices around their necks. Blue Snow, a masked criminal, tries to liberate society by disseminating lewd content among the general public.
3. Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?
Forming an online party with one’s mother appears not only unlikely but also unsettling to most adolescent gamers.
Masato Oosuki, unfortunately, is in the same boat. He is thrown into the world of a fantasy MMORPG after completing a seemingly meaningless survey—and his mother Mamako has joined him! Mamako also reveals herself to be a formidable swordswoman, capable of multi-target two-hit attacks! They look for party members after some minor squabbles, meeting the merchant Porta and the sage Wise before embarking on their quest to complete the game.
Masato adores his mother, but he is self-conscious in her presence. That’s because the two of them have been dragged into a virtual world where their gaming abilities are tested – and she’s far superior to him!
2. If I don’t successfully pick up 420 girls, I am going to die in a lot of different ways.
This “anime” is actually a two-minute promotional video for a light novel, despite having the best and worst title in anime history. Sorry for introducing you to the most inequitable thing ever, but there hasn’t been any news about this strange-sounding anime since 2013.
1. I Want You To Make a Disgusted Face and Show Me Your Underwear
A project in which a group of women dressed in different costumes show their underwear while making a disgusted face.
This OVA is exactly what it says it is: girls flaunting their underwear while looking disgusted at the person who requested it. What exactly do you mean by subtly?
That’s all there is to the list; don’t ask why I decided to post it, and be sure to tell us in the comments what the longest and most ridiculous anime title you’ve ever heard is!

May 9, 2018 May 9, 2018 anniesullivanauthorLeave a Comment on 3 Ways to Create Conflict with Magic
(Note from Annie: Today we have a guest post from Katie Nichols all about how you can use magic in your stories and a chance to win a SIGNED copy of The Cruel Prince. These are brought to you by the wonderful people behind the Chapter One Young Writers Conference (for writers ages 11-20) and the new Chapter Twenty-One Conference (for writers ages 21-29). Learn more about both here: www.chapteroneconference.org and www.chapter21conference.org.)
Hello, magical people!
Today, I want to talk about magic, specifically magical conflicts.
I love fantasy stories, especially ones with captivating magic systems. And I love it when magic causes problems for characters. While good stories are full of conflict and problems for the characters to overcome, there’s something extra awesome about magic being the source of problems.
So how do you create magical conflict? How do you make magic not only awesome, but also a source of problems?
Look at it from a bunch of different angles and ask questions. Here are a few suggestions of questions to ask yourself, with lots of examples.
1.Where does the magic come from?
In Tangled, Rapunzel’s magic comes from her hair (and before that, it came from a magic flower). Her magic heals and gives youth. An old witch wanted to be forever youthful, so she kidnapped baby Rapunzel. So really, all of the problems in Rapunzel’s life—being kidnapped then living in a tower—came because of her magic and its origins in that magic flower.
Let’s look at The Lord of the Rings. If you know anything about this story, you know that it’s basically a journey to destroy a magic ring that houses the Dark Lord’s soul before said Dark Lord can get it back. So what problems arise from this magic? Well, it’s evil magic, so there are a lot of problems just from that (more on this later in the post). But it is also very powerful and everyone either wants the Ring or wants to destroy it. One does not simply walk into Mordor to destroy it.
Aladdin doesn’t actually have magic, but his friend the Genie does. The origin of magic here causes problems because the Genie is limited by his magic. He can’t bring people back to life, he can’t kill anyone, and he can’t make anyone fall in love with anyone else. And like the other two examples, many people want this magic and not for the most pure of reasons.
2. How does the magic affect the character mentally/emotionally?
Another example from The Lord of the Rings, when Frodo is taking the Ring to Mordor, we see him slowly being (for lack of a better word) possessed by the Ring. He doesn’t want to lose it, he is losing sleep over it, he is sorely tempted to wear it, and all this gets drastically worse as the story progresses. Gollum is the picture of what happens when someone is completely consumed by the Ring and insanity is also a common effect of magic in stories.
Elsa from Frozen is someone whose magic has affected her emotions. In the movie, Elsa’s magic conflicts are caused by how others see her magic as well as how she sees it. In the beginning of the movie, she loves her magic as she and her sister play with it. But when her sister gets hurt by Elsa’s magic, she’s scared of hurting people, and she begins to fear her magic, to the point that she is isolated from the rest of society. How society and the character themselves feel about their own magic is a good thing to consider.
3. How does the magic affect the character physically?
It’s common in magic systems (especially in RPG stories) for the character to become weak or lose some of their ability to do magic as they do it, like they have a limited supply of magic. To do more than they are capable of could be dangerous. A good example of this is The Glamourist Histories series by Mary Robinette Kowal. The glamour magic takes their energy and doing too much can be fatal. (If you are a Jane Austen and fantasy fan, I suggest looking into these books.)
There are other ways to physically effect a character with their magic. In Tangled, Rapunzel can’t cut her hair, or it loses it’s power, turns brown, and doesn’t grow back. In one of the stories I’ve been working on, one of my characters can turn into a dragon. Some ways this could physically effect him is that maybe he smells like smoke or has dry skin or a tint of green even while he’s human.
These aren’t all the questions that you can ask yourself for making magic cause problems, but I hope they help. For more questions you can ask yourself, I recommend looking at Brandon Sanderson’s Laws of Magic. (https://brandonsanderson.com/sandersons-third-law-of-magic/) He writes fantasy (I love the Mistborn series, personally) with amazing magic systems.
Now go create some magical problems! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

The National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) participated in the Thailand-Japan Environmental Solutions Week held in Bangkok, Thailand, jointly organized by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Thailand, from 15th to 16th January. The event aimed at providing opportunities to share innovative and emerging environmental solutions with businesses and the public sector, in order to achieve sustainable development, and to discuss the application of existing and emerging environmental solutions to the Thai economy.
The event included a variety of open seminars covering marine plastic waste issues, Smart City, climate change adaptation, digital environmental solutions, severe PM2.5 air pollution as well as a Business Match Exhibition.
In the event on 16th, an open seminar with the title “Thai-Japan Cooperation for promotion of scientific based Climate Change Adaptation and development of Adaptation Information Infrastructure” was held. Opening remarks were presented by H.E. Ms. Yukari Sato, State Minister of the Environment, Japan and Dr. Phirum Saiyasitpanich, Deputy Secretary General, ONEP, MONRE, Thailand.
As one of the speakers in the event, Dr. Kazutaka Oka, senior researcher at NIES, made a presentation about Japan’s Climate Change Adaptation Platforms of AP-PLAT and A-PLAT.
A panel discussion was moderated by Mr. Tetsuo Kuyama, director of the regional center of the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) in Bangkok. The panel included Mr. Takeshi Abe from the Ministry of Environment of Japan, Dr. Kazutaka Oka from NIES, Dr. Natthanich Asvapoositkul from the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP), Dr. Atsamon Limsakul from the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ERTC), Mr. Visnu Charoen from Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), Mr. Takatsugu Ozaki from Chichibu Chemical Co., Ltd., Mr. Thawatchai Saengkhamsuk from the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO), and Mr. Naoya Tsukamoto from the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). The discussions focused on topics such as the important aspects of promoting adaptation activities from the view point of each panelist’s background (government, local authority, academic, and industry).
Based on this fruitful discussion, NIES will further develop AP-PLAT/A-PLAT and also promote the cooperation for the development of the Thailand Climate Change Adaptation Information (T-PLAT) with various organizations.

COTTON GOODS, MANCHESTER.
HC Deb 11 April 1919 vol 114 cc2400-1W 2400W
§ Colonel W. THORNE
asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the speech of Mr. Theodore Fischer, Swedish Consul in Manchester, at the Manchester District Committee of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, to the effect that £2,000,000 worth of cotton piece goods were lying in warehouses at Manchester, some of which had been bought and paid for as far back as two years ago; whether his Department were cognisant of this at the time the Government were making appeals to the public for patience and sacrifice to win the War; whether he is aware that two years ago Sweden, in order to help Germany in the production of gun cotton, artificial rubber, paper textiles, etc., pro- 2401W hibited the export of wood pulp to Great Britain, and while these goods were held up the price of every kind of cotton goods to the British people rose by leaps and bounds; and whether, instead of giving an export licence to send these goods to Sweden, he will commandeer the same and sell them to the public, in order to reduce the present overcharge for all classes of cotton goods?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMAN
My right hon. Friend is aware that for some months large stocks of cotton and other piece goods have been held in this country on neutral account, the export of which could not be permitted for blockade reasons. After full consideration. His Majesty's Government decided that it was inadvisable to requisition the goods for use in this country, and my right hon. Friend is of opinion that such a course of action at the present time would not be in the best interests of the country.

Birth Certificate Minnesota
A birth certificate is an important document that is used to record the birth of a person. In Minnesota, the Office of the State Registrar is responsible for maintaining records of all birth certificates in the state. It is important to understand the process of obtaining a birth certificate in Minnesota, as it may be needed for a variety of reasons throughout a person’s lifetime.
In Minnesota, a birth certificate can only be issued to the parents of the person whose birth is being registered, or to the person themselves, if they are 18 years of age or older. There are several steps that must be taken in order to obtain a birth certificate, including submitting an application and providing the necessary documentation. It is important to note that the state of Minnesota charges a fee for birth certificate applications, which must be paid in order to process the request.

3.1 How to get birth certificate?
How do I get a copy of my Minnesota birth certificate?
Getting a copy of your Minnesota birth certificate is an easy process.
You will need to complete a Birth Certificate Request Form and submit it in person or by mail to the Office of Vital Records, located in St. Paul, Minnesota. You may also be able to request the birth certificate online, depending on where you were born. The fee for a copy of a birth certificate is $26.
If you are requesting the birth certificate in person, you can bring a valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. If you are submitting the request by mail, you will need to include a copy of your valid photo ID.
If you are requesting the birth certificate for someone else, you will need to provide legal proof of your authority to obtain the certificate, such as a court order or a notarized statement. You will also need to provide proof of the person’s identity, such as a copy of their valid photo ID.
Once your request has been submitted, it will take approximately two to three weeks for the birth certificate to be processed and mailed out to you. You may also be able to pick up the birth certificate in person, depending on where you were born.
For more information on how to obtain a copy of your Minnesota birth certificate, please visit the Minnesota Department of Health website.
Can I get my birth certificate online in MN?
In Minnesota, you can get your birth certificate online via the Minnesota Department of Health’s Vital Records website. The website provides detailed instructions on how to order a birth certificate, including information on who is eligible to request and what documents are required. You can also find information on how to check the status of your order and how to get a copy of a birth certificate if you don’t have the original.
You can order a birth certificate online by visiting the Minnesota Department of Health’s Vital Records website and completing the online application. The website accepts payment via credit card or electronic check. Once your request is approved, you will receive a confirmation email with the certificate within 15 days.
You can also order a birth certificate in person by visiting a local Minnesota county office or by mail by sending your request to the Minnesota Department of Health. When ordering by mail, you must include a copy of a valid government-issued photo ID and a signed statement of authorization for the release of the certificate.

By any measure, 2021 was a strong year for investors. But what’s in store for 2022? From my perspective, I expect that many of the same forces that influenced markets last year will play a role again in the year ahead.
COVID-19 remains tragic and unpredictable. The pandemic was one of the primary drivers of financial market activity in 2021. I hope that the worst is behind us, but I would not be surprised to see COVID-related events influence markets in the New Year.
The Federal Reserve will continue to get its share of headlines. From Fed Chair’s Powell’s nomination hearings to potential changes in interest rates, expect investors’ attention to shift to the Fed from time to time in 2022.
Tax law changes are always possible, but many of the anticipated federal tax law changes in 2021 were linked to President Biden’s Build Back Better plan, which ended the year in debate with Congress. So stay tuned here.
Thanks for your confidence in 2021. Here’s to a prosperous new year!

On-Site Podiatrist
Back to All Amenities
What’s so important about feet?
We don’t tend to think about them too often unless of course there’s a problem, but any foot pain or issue can be a warning sign of even more serious concerns. That’s why at Arbors at Stow, we have our prefered and professional podiatrist who examines all our residents regularly. Our goal is always to prevent unchecked signs that can indicate other conditions.
A licensed podiatrist performs exams as needed to assess the overall health of the residents’ feet. He or she will identify potential problems. When necessary, he or she will treat the condition or coordinate care with the attending physician.
Circulation issues due to diabetes are common in seniors. When diabetic shoes are recommended, the primary care physician is contacted for insurance authorization. Once approved, the podiatrist will measure the foot/feet. He or she will then deliver the shoes and inserts and check for a proper fit.
What Is PAD?
Arbors at Stow’s in-house podiatry services are collaborating with our nursing and care staff to help spread awareness. A relatively unknown condition, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), affects more than 1 in 10 people over the age of 65.
We provide content and forums for residents, family members, and staff. Our goal is to bring attention to this silent but deadly disease that restricts blood flow in particular to the lower limbs. Symptoms of PAD are often ignored, masked, or assumed to be caused by the normal aging process. Because of this, nearly 50% of people with PAD remain untreated.
Who Is At Risk For PAD?
PAD affects at least 12 million people in the US
Up to 50% have no recognizable symptoms.
About 95% have at least one other chronic disease (diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure).
About 50% remain untreated and risk amputation.
Smokers have up to 4x greater risk of developing PAD.
High blood pressure is found in more than 65% of PAD patients.
People with Diabetes have up to a 4x higher risk of developing PAD, and up to 5x greater risk of amputation.
What Services Do Our On-Site Podiatrists Provide?
Eliminating calluses, corns, and ingrown toenails
Treatment of ulceration and abscesses
Prevention against lower limb amputation
We can also provide diabetic shoes and inserts.
Like all of the care staff at Arbors at Stow, our on-site podiatry team believes in quality services served with the warmth of proper care.

What is biodiversity and why is it important?
Threats to biodiversity
Updated 13 May 2016 11:48am
The term ‘biodiversity’ describes the sum and variation of all living things on land, water and out at sea.
The New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy defines biodiversity as:
Biological diversity, or “biodiversity” for short, describes the variety of all biological life — plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms — the genes they contain and the ecosystems on land or in water where they live. It is the diversity of life on earth (pg1)
Indigenous biodiversity refers to the plants and animals that are native to New Zealand.
Many of our plants and animals are endemic to New Zealand, which means they are found no where else. Our unique biodiversity has helped shaped New Zealand’s ‘kiwi’ identity. Our ecosystems are aesthetically pleasing and provide opportunities for recreational activities like tramping, camping, kayaking and photography.
Healthy ecosystems are important for Māori who believe all components of ecosystems, both living and non-living, possess the spiritual qualities of tapu, mauri, mana, and wairua. People are the kaitiaki (guardians) of these ecosystems and have a responsibility to protect and enhance them. This responsibility of people to other living things is expressed in the concept of kaitiakitanga — or guardianship.
Healthy ecosystems and the organisms within them are vital for our everyday life; they recycle and protect our water, soil and nutrient resources. They provide food, medicinal properties and a range of other resources. These are the goods and services which we get for ‘free’. Healthy ecosystems with greater diversity can better withstand and recover from a variety of disasters and the natural processes and organisms are naturally more sustainable. In New Zealand our ecosystems draw visitors from around the world and the land provides a strong agricultural resource both of which help the New Zealand economy.
In New Zealand many species are endemic (they are only found here in New Zealand). Some of these species, like kiwi and silver ferns, are iconic of New Zealand. There are numerous others like kauri, kākāpō and kākāriki (parakeet) that are well known, but many, like kākahi (freshwater mussels) and pepeketua (NZ frogs) are unknown to many New Zealanders.
In the Wellington region we are lucky to have parks and areas where we can see our native plants and animals in the wild. We have kākā and tūī flying around, and beautiful forests and coastlines are never far away.
Critically endangered species like Gardner’s tree daisy and pekapeka (the short tailed bat, New Zealand’s only type of indigenous land mammal) can also be found here.
There are at least 45 distinct ecosystem types in the Wellington region. These include various types of forest, sandy beaches and dune systems, rocky beaches, wetlands, alpine tussock lands, estuaries and many more. For more information on New Zealand’s biodiversity you can visit

Call for chapter proposals: Deaccessioning in Special Collections and Archives
Archivists and archival institutions are now deaccessioning more than ever before. As deaccessioning has become increasingly accepted as a useful collections management tool, some still perceive it as an ethical dilemma fraught with a high risk of controversy or angering donors and researchers alike. In archives deaccessioning, archivists grapple with ethical concerns, donor relations, appraisal questions, and disposition options. Deaccessioning in Special Collections and Archives, edited by Laura Uglean Jackson and published by Rowman & Littlefield, is the first book dedicated entirely to the topic of deaccessioning in special collections and archives. It will bring together case studies, perspectives, and in-depth discussions focused solely on topics and issues related to deaccessioning in all types of archival repositories.
Contributions from authors with experience in or knowledge of special collections and archives deaccessioning are welcome. I hope to include chapters on the following topics:
Case studies from various institution types (e.g. small repositories, lone arrangers, community archives)
Perspectives and opinion pieces about reappraisal and deaccessioning
Reappraisal and deaccessioning outside of the United States (particularly United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand)
Consequences of deaccessioning, including benefits and negative effects
Working with donors and donor relations
Sale of materials and use of proceeds
Deaccessioning compared to weeding
Ethical dilemmas of deaccessioning
Transparency/publicizing of deaccessioning, including collections and process
Reappraisal and deaccessioning of digital materials
Standards related to reappraisal and deaccessioning
Reappraisal challenges
Disposition of deaccessioned materials including transfer, return to donor, and destruction
If you have an idea for a chapter not listed, please contact me to discuss. Proposals of no more than 500 words should be submitted to me by February 12, 2018. Please include a biographical statement. Decisions regarding the submissions will be made by early March. First drafts will be due in May with an expected completion date in November 2018. Proposals and questions can be sent to: [email protected].

Articles about Iran
Coat of arms of Iran
Iran's heraldic symbols are closely related to the history and culture of this country. The coat of arms of Iran in its modern form is very different from its dynastic predecessors, but still remains the heir to the Iranian mentality and way of thinking. The Pahlavi dynasty, which came to power in 1925, made minor changes to the dynastic coat of arms adopted at that time in imperial Iran. The new emblem, approved in 1980, became a symbol of the fall of dynastic Iran, a symbol of a new life - a life without an emperor, but in close connection with Islam.
Shamshir and edolite
This is the name of the modern Iranian coat of arms. Translated into Russian, this name sounds like «sword and scales». The main Iranian emblem is a symmetrical image, in the center of which is a stylized drawing of a double-edged sword. Two crescent moons can be seen to the left and right of it. The center of symmetry in this case is just shamshir - a double-edged sword. The power of such a sword was known in the ancient world, but on the coat of arms its power is doubled by the shadd symbol depicted above the sword and resembling the English letter W.
This coat of arms was designed by Khadim Nadimi in an abstract schematic form. If you look closely at it, then it is somewhat reminiscent of a harvested tulip bud. In a sense, the main emblem of Iran is reminiscent of a long tradition. According to him, tulips grow on the grave of every fallen warrior who defended Iran. Thus, the coat of arms is associated with the history of the Iranian people..
Connection with Islam
«Shamshir and edolite» Is a symbol of the worship of Allah. The very outline of the emblem in a stylized form resembles an Arab-Persian word «Allah». At the same time, the four crescent moons and the sword are a long-standing display of the Islamic creed, which states that there is no other god but Allah. In addition, the emblem itself affirms the five main pillars of the Islamic religion: monotheism; prayer; fast; alms; hajj.
Meaning and color
On the other hand, the modern coat of arms of Iran has the meaning of law, supreme justice. They see in him the extreme forms of these institutions of society in the form of the punishing hand of a two-edged law, as well as in the form of a wise and just decision..
The color of this emblem has not been established, and therefore «shamshir and edolite» can be painted red, green or black. For example, this coat of arms on the flag of Iran is depicted in red. Color has long been of particular importance to Iranian society. So, red was associated with warriors, and green - with the culture of farmers..

Content Crimes: How You’re Misbehaving Online
As I wrote last week, you could waste a lot of time online if you’re not paying attention.
Let’s look at this subject a little closer so that we’re not just looking at where you’re wasting time, but at how you’re harming your art career goals.
My friend, Cynthia, calls them content crimes. Nobody is going to throw you in jail for committing these transgressions, but you might check yourself into rehab when you decide to do something about it.
Here are the top 4 content crimes you might be committing.
Content Crime #1: You’re inconsistent.
You sent a newsletter for a few months and then nothing. Nada. The big zippo.
You tried blogging for a while … um … whenever you felt like it.
You heard that artists were selling art from Facebook, so you built a business page and put a few pictures up. It’s just not working for me, you claimed. Waste of time.
If you are truly excited about your art, you’ll share it repeatedly, even if you think nobody is listening, because you believe in yourself. You don’t give up.
If you do give up, I’m led to believe …
Content Crime #2: You’re not ‘all in.' You’re not committed.
I believe that either you’re an artist or you’re not. You’re not “sort of” an artist. [Tweet this]
When you’re “sort of” anything, it’s hard to inspire people with your teaching or your art. It’s nearly impossible to inspire others when you’re not inspired yourself.
We don’t follow “sort of” anyone. We follow people who enrich our lives and who give us something that no one else has offered.
We buy art from artists who are 100% committed. We aren’t buying just the art. We’re buying a piece of the artist.
People can tell when you’re not all in.
Decide: Are you all in? How does this manifest in how you show up in the world?
Content Crime #3: You don’t post about your art enough.
Maybe it’s just because of my line of work, but it drives me batty when I go to an artist’s social media site and never see their art. Or I click on their blog button and have to scroll to see their art.
You’re an artist. Share your art!
There are many aspects to sharing your art, from the work in progress to the finished piece to the installation or use of it.
If you’re not “sort of” an artist and are making art almost every day, you should have more than enough content to photograph, to video, and to write about.
Content Crime #4: You’re ignoring your list.
Social media is easy and, you think, unobtrusive. It’s pretty safe. So you post there and hope people find you..
Meanwhile, the people who have gone out of their way to give you their email address are waiting … and waiting. That list is growing cold and forgetting about you.
The people who have bought art from you and who have signed up to receive your messages and postcards expect to hear from you.
They signed up because they want to hear from you.
You’re relying too much on social media and not sending love to the people who have asked to receive it.

I may be guilty of #3 on occasion, but I think I’m doing ok with the others 🙂

OK guilty! Thank u Alyson!
“I believe that either you’re an artist or you’re not. You’re not “sort of” an artist.”
Or perhaps you’re an artist, and care deeply about your work, but you get blindsided by life. I used to sell professionally, but these days I can make work and blog only sporadically — sometimes very sporadically — due to chronic illness and the demands of caretaking a spouse with progressing Parkinson’s Disease. I agree that people who are actively selling and serious about making a career of it need to be consistent and keep a professional presence online. However, I disagree with your assertion that I (and those like me in similar situations) should no longer be entitled to an identity as an artist at all.
William Hagerman
I sympathize with your situation, but I doubt Alyson was making a statement that was set in stone. Many artists like to do lots of projects. They get excited about it for time and then quit. In part they no longer show up for work. That being said, I too have been on the side of caretaker, and even though the daily weight of that has been shifted I still spend almost the equivalent of a work day each week visiting my Mother in a nursing home which is a necessity. If I didn’t she wouldn’t be alive today. I teach art classes as well and with all my other responsibilities it does not allow time for me to delve into social media platforms like Facebook. ( For now I cringe at the thought) I do have a blog and like you my writing and posting is sporadic, but I try to do something each month, not each week and I try to send out news a couple of times a month to my email list. I sell also on eBay which is sort of social as I’m building new clients.
In the work place there’s something called a leave of absence where an employee leaves the work force for a time and then return. It applies to artists. You’re still an artist (your identity) but you’re on a reduced work schedule or in the case of illness, you’ve had to take a leave of absence.
I did write a post that you may find of benefit. It’s called Finding Beauty in Small Things. It was about care giving. There’s a trait that artist’s have that when applied can help even in this situation.

Thank you for sharing your experience, William, and your article.
Ellen: It sounds to me like you’re totally committed. There’s nothing “sort of” about you.
I did say that inconsistency leads me to believe that someone might not be committed, but there certainly are life circumstances that account for inconsistencies.
Your spouse is very lucky to have your support. And I know this experience will inform your art somehow – if it hasn’t already.
Dang. On one hand, I’m pretty consistent with the things that have a set schedule (monthly newsletter, weekly youtube), but I still feel like a “sort-of” artist.
A lot of it is a mental health thing, so a lot of the time I’m low-energy and feel so invisible in general that I make or send out superficial content even though the only sign that someone is reading it is a statistic or an occasional comment, or a “like”.
A few times a year I get into an almost “happy” kind of mode where I’m really productive and end up posting pictures online every day in great bursts of, like, a week, and then it’s gone. ha!
I wish I could be super personal and make people feel like they really KNOW me, because that seems to be a really good trick, at least online. But not even my closest friends know me so it’s hard.
I like to tell myself that it’s because of my day job that I don’t do the things I’m “supposed” to be doing (applying to shows, painting everyday) but that would be lying to myself!

I just visited your website and your work is beautiful! I believe that we artists self-select. That means that only you get to decide if you are a “sort-of” artist or an “emerging artist” as your bio states. When I looked at the gallery of your work, I saw a real artist and really lovely work. Decide it in your heart first to show up as an artist – even if it’s only a few times a year. I wish you the best in your work.
YES! You get to decide. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1838 | {"url": "https://artbizsuccess.com/content-crimes/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "artbizsuccess.com",

Tie-up between Japanese opposition parties a house of cards
If CDPJ fails to produce results in the unified local elections and lower house by-elections, party executives could be subject to increasing criticism.

Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan President Kenta Izumi addresses the party convention in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, on Sunday. The Yomiuri Shimbun
TOKYO – The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan has adopted an action plan that includes the strengthening of its united front with Nippon Ishin no Kai (Japan Innovation Party) in the Diet.
The CDPJ is looking to regain its momentum via cooperation with the second-largest opposition party. However, subtle policy differences have emerged between them, and the CDPJ is facing numerous issues, including how to adjust its party stance.
“The question is whether the two parties will work toward forming a government together, or limit the framework only to policy-based cooperation in the Diet. We’ll keep both options open,” said CDPJ President Kenta Izumi at a press conference following the CDPJ party convention on Sunday.
Adopted at the convention, the action plan describes the work realized by the united front — which was launched at last year’s extraordinary Diet session — as “a historical achievement in the Diet.” The parties’ joint efforts include launching talks between the ruling and opposition blocs to discuss the law to prevent the unlawful solicitation of donations.
“If we join forces, we can make the government move,” CDPJ Policy Research Committee Chairperson Akira Nagatsuma said.
However, the CDPJ failed to make positive gains in the House of Representatives election in 2021 and in last year’s House of Councillors election, in which it worked with the Japanese Communist Party to jointly back candidates. Under such circumstances, the party is now hoping to gain support among conservative voters, who largely support Ishin.
However, cooperation with Ishin is like a house of cards, as its positions on constitutional revision and other issues differ from those of the CDPJ.
In the ordinary Diet session, the CDPJ refused an early convening of the lower house’s Commission on the Constitution. This prompted complaints from Ishin, with Secretary General Fumitake Fujita saying, “Why don’t we just scrap this [cooperation]?”
Regarding the debate on constitutional revision, the CDPJ is reverting to its original approach of being in line with the JCP. Some within the CDPJ have called for cooperation with the JCP, mainly in urban areas, in the next lower house election.
“We should make the party’s policies more realistic and avoid laying out policies that couldn’t be realized if we take over the government,” said CDPJ Secretary General Katsuya Okada at the convention.
His remarks were made in light of the resistance of left-leaning CDPJ lawmakers to changes in the party’s line.
Okada has been aiming for a middle-of-the-road stance since last August, when he became secretary general, but wary left-leaning members have gone on the offensive regarding the compilation of foreign and security policy and the constitutional debate.
According a Yomiuri Shimbun survey conducted nationwide from Friday to Sunday, the CDPJ’s approval rating was 6%, hovering unchanged for the past six months.
“We won’t be able to achieve a change of government if the situation remains the same,” Okada has said.
If the party fails to produce results in the April unified local elections and lower house by-elections, party executives could be subject to increasing criticism.
Regarding the unified local elections, the action plan called for the party to “expand its strength and further consolidate its base in preparation for the lower house election,” but did not mention a specific number of seats to be targeted.
“If the party loses in the unified local elections and by-elections, we’ll have no choice but to ask for the resignation” of Izumi, a veteran lawmaker said.

India, Pakistan share ACT hockey title; Akashdeep named best player
By The Assam Tribune - 15 Sep 2010 12:00 AM GMT
MUSCAT, Oct 29: India�s Akashdeep Singh was adjudged player of the tournament but the team had to share the Asian Champions Trophy with Pakistan after the much-anticipated summit clash was abandoned due to heavy downpour here.
Heavy rain delayed the start of the final on Sunday night and even though the skies relented later, the damage had already been done by then.
The turf was completely waterlogged because of thunderstorm and heavy showers and after discussion with both the coaches of India and Pakistan, the tournament director decided to call off the match and declare both the teams as joint winners.
India won the toss of coin and earned the right to take home the trophy of the biennial tournament for the first year. It will be given to Pakistan for the next year.
Since the Indians took home the trophy, the tournament gold medals were presented to the Pakistani players. Asian Hockey Federation Chief Executive Dato Tayyab Ikram said gold medals will soon be sent for the Indian players.
Akashdeep was adjudged Player of the Tournament while PR Sreejesh was declared best goalkeeper. Pakistan�s Abu Bakkar Mahmood was named Emerging Player of the Tournament while Malaysia�s Faisal Saari emerged the highest scorer.
India remained unbeaten in the tournament having topped the round robin stages with 13 points, courtesy four wins and a draw out of their five games. Pakistan ended the round robin stages on the second spot with 10 points.
India had earlier defeated Pakistan 3-1 in the round robin stage.
Malaysia claimed the bronze medal by prevailing 3-2 in the penalty shootout against Japan after the two teams were tied 2-2 in regulation period.
It was both India and Pakistan�s last international outing before the season-ending FIH men�s World Cup to be held in Bhubaneswar from November 28 to December 16.
India and Pakistan had won the title twice each before the current edition. India came into the tournament this year as defending champions having won the last edition in 2016 after their title triumph in the inaugural edition in 2011.
Pakistan won the title twice in 2012 and 2013 besides finishing runners-up in 2011 and 2016. India too have finished runners-up once in 2012. � PTI | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1841 | {"url": "https://assamtribune.com/india-pakistan-share-act-hockey-title-akashdeep-named-best-player", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "assamtribune.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:07:55Z", "digest": "sha1:AJC3WA3G7XQXY4QYGUQG3OH3XIUF6Q4X"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2329, 2329.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2329, 5466.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2329, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2329, 76.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2329, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2329, 283.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2329, 0.3972912]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2329, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2329, 0.04989496]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2329, 0.03361345]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2329, 0.04779412]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2329, 0.01733193]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2329, 0.03308824]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2329, 0.01580135]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2329, 0.14221219]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2329, 0.55128205]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2329, 4.88205128]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2329, 4.86697389]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2329, 390.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 68, 0.0], [68, 116, 0.0], [116, 343, 1.0], [343, 485, 1.0], [485, 728, 1.0], [728, 895, 1.0], [895, 1120, 1.0], [1120, 1348, 1.0], [1348, 1571, 1.0], [1571, 1637, 1.0], [1637, 1783, 1.0], [1783, 1946, 1.0], [1946, 2182, 1.0], [2182, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 68, 0.0], [68, 116, 0.0], [116, 343, 0.0], [343, 485, 0.0], [485, 728, 0.0], [728, 895, 0.0], [895, 1120, 0.0], [1120, 1348, 0.0], [1348, 1571, 0.0], [1571, 1637, 0.0], [1637, 1783, 0.0], [1783, 1946, 0.0], [1946, 2182, 0.0], [2182, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 68, 10.0], [68, 116, 10.0], [116, 343, 36.0], [343, 485, 26.0], [485, 728, 39.0], [728, 895, 33.0], [895, 1120, 36.0], [1120, 1348, 33.0], [1348, 1571, 39.0], [1571, 1637, 11.0], [1637, 1783, 24.0], [1783, 1946, 27.0], [1946, 2182, 40.0], [2182, 2329, 26.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 68, 0.0], [68, 116, 0.22727273], [116, 343, 0.00900901], [343, 485, 0.0], [485, 728, 0.0], [728, 895, 0.0], [895, 1120, 0.0], [1120, 1348, 0.0], [1348, 1571, 0.01826484], [1571, 1637, 0.03174603], [1637, 1783, 0.02816901], [1783, 1946, 0.025], [1946, 2182, 0.03433476], [2182, 2329, 0.13986014]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 68, 0.0], [68, 116, 0.0], [116, 343, 0.0], [343, 485, 0.0], [485, 728, 0.0], [728, 895, 0.0], [895, 1120, 0.0], [1120, 1348, 0.0], [1348, 1571, 0.0], [1571, 1637, 0.0], [1637, 1783, 0.0], [1783, 1946, 0.0], [1946, 2182, 0.0], [2182, 2329, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 68, 0.08823529], [68, 116, 0.20833333], [116, 343, 0.06167401], [343, 485, 0.01408451], [485, 728, 0.01234568], [728, 895, 0.01796407], [895, 1120, 0.05333333], [1120, 1348, 0.07017544], [1348, 1571, 0.00896861], [1571, 1637, 0.03030303], [1637, 1783, 0.01369863], [1783, 1946, 0.06748466], [1946, 2182, 0.01271186], [2182, 2329, 0.03401361]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2329, 0.64615089]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2329, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2329, 0.9304679]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2329, -74.99043734]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2329, 28.05822005]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2329, 50.82521991]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2329, 19.0]]} |

Challenges in Transitional Care
Florida National University
Robert Alonso
Introduction to the Problem
Increasing cases of patient readmissions as soon as they are discharged from hospitals have been on the rise thus indicating existing challenges in the provision of transitional care. Transitional care refers to the provision of continuous treatment to the patients as they move from one health care facility to the next or from the health facilities to their homes. According to a study conducted by Ortiz in 2015, it was established that “35.6% of hospital re-admissions within 30 days of discharge are of elderly patients aged 75-84” (Ortiz, 2019). These statistics indicate existing disparities in the provision of transitional care thus resulting in the worsened conditions of the patients as soon as they go home. Ortiz nonetheless establishes that most caregivers admit to not having adequate knowledge and experience on how to deal with the patients as soon as they are discharged from hospitals (Ortiz, 2019). In most cases, elderly patients suffering from acute conditions tend to be the most vulnerable and easily fall ill once transitional care is missing. Further according to Storm, “A majority of the deaths involving elderly patients in home-based and community-based care were as a result of lack of additional transitional care” (Storm et. al., 2014). Similar results are echoed by Ye et. al., (2016), where in China policies were introduced in 2012, hindering the provision of transitional care to patients by the nurses, and as a result the practice saw at least 33% of the elderly patients decline in their overall well-being and functioning once left under the care of their caregivers. Therefore, such statistics indicate that home-based care is often marked by a lack of professional monitoring and also the transition from a medical setting to a home setting often results in medication mix-up which negatively imposes on the health of the elderly patients.
Clearly Identify the Problem
Transitional care is marked by a lack of specialized nursing interventions which results to the high rates of hospital readmissions especially among the elderly patients suffering from acute conditions. Also, there lacks clear communication during the handing off of the patients to the caregivers, hence resulting in increased confusion on the part of the care givers on how to take care of the patients which results in their worsening conditions (Morphet et. al., 2014). Additionally, a majority of the caregivers are not adequately trained on how to provide primary care to their patients and hence when left in their care, their condition does not get any better forcing them to be readmitted to hospitals. In other cases, the patients may lack caregivers to look after them hence requiring a present transitional nurse to help meet their medical needs, and once these nurses are absent then the well-being of the patients is compromised (Morphet et. al., 2014).
The existing challenges in transitional care are largely brought about by the lack of specialized nurses with skills and knowledge on professional transitional nursing care. According to Storm et. al., (2014), the health and well-being of the patients is threatened once there exist inconsistencies in the provision of transitional care. In most cases, unspecialized nurses are left to handle the transfer of the patients from one facility to the next which makes their situation worse, since such nurses are unaware of the significance of timely and comprehensive communication during the transition period. Moreover, when dealing with unspecialized nurses, there exist inconsistencies in the emergency department nurses and those in the ICU hence worsening the transition phase. Hence, the existence of unspecialized nurses adds to more confusion on the type of therapy required by the patients in their recovery phase hence resulting in more complications (Ortiz, 2019). Thus, the existence of specialized nurses in transitional care is key in ensuring the provision of high-quality transitional care and also in promoting the well-being of the patients.
Significance of the Problem to Nursing
The problem on transition care is significant to nursing since it illustrates the need for specialized nursing care as a means to overcome the existing inadequacies in transition care. Also, the problem is rooted in the nursing profession as it seeks to increase awareness on the importance of specialized nursing care during transitional care. The problem further establishes that the current nursing services involved in transition care are inadequate and that often patients are often sent home without lack of continuity care from professionals. The problem is also significant since it informs of the weaknesses in nursing communication, illustrating inconsistencies in the provision of comprehensive information to foster continuity care. Also, the problem makes it evident that poor professional coordination among the nurses comes in the way of transitional care hindering effective consultation of the provision of information among the nurses and to the caregivers. Consequently, the problem helps to illuminate the challenges encountered by nurses when providing their nursing roles among them ensuring that patients with no caregivers receive transitional care from them and also informing the caregivers on how to deal with patients. The problem is hence important in informing nurses on their shortcomings and informing them on how to enhance their nursing roles. Addressing transition care will help to improve the role of the nurses in providing care for their patients and hence it is essential that nurses acquire additional skills and education on how to provide transitional care to patients.
The main purpose of the research is to enhance the quality of transitional care. Previous studies focused merely on the quality of health care provided to the general population while omitting the issues surrounding transitional care and as a result there lacks knowledge and awareness on transitional care hence resulting in the increased rates of patient readmissions. Therefore, my research on the topic is intended to provide adequate knowledge of the issues surrounding transitional care and to bring attention to the stakeholders on the significance of investing in the issue. Also, the research is intended to enlighten the nurses on their areas of weaknesses and to enlighten them on how they can improve their provision of transitional care. Another key purpose of the research is to push for the inclusion of transitional care in the nursing curriculum to help impact all nurses with adequate knowledge on how to go about the issue. Lastly, the research aims to create a platform for more future research on the same hence raising awareness on the severity of the issues on transitional care
The research will answer the following questions:
What are the main challenges facing transitional care?
How does unspecialized nursing impact on transitional care?
What is the importance of specialized nursing in the provision of transitional care?
Master’s Essentials that Align with my Topic
Different master’s essentials align with my topic. For example, Essential II establishes that the quality of patient care is enhanced by effective organizational leadership, and in my topic, I have highlighted how challenges in leadership like communication and nurses’ corporation negatively impose on the patient well-being. Also, Essentials III aligns with my topic where it points out that inadequate specialized nursing is the root cause of all the shortcomings in the provision of health care and that master-level nurses should always be present in any nursing facility as they are fully aware on how to handle different patient needs. Likewise, my topic indicates that unspecialized nurses result in the provision of low-quality transitional care. Lastly, my topic aligns with Essential IX, which establishes that the master’s degree level nurses tend to have scientific understanding and also know how best to apply the knowledge to practice. The Essential further notes that such nurses can quickly influence the realization of positive health care outcomes. Similarly, my topic notes that unspecialized nurses cannot compare to the specialized nurses with a master’s education, where the unspecialized nurses are not well vast on the importance of transitional care while the specialized nurses can quickly influence better transitional care results because of their level of expertise and knowledge.

Sánchez Needs to Remember Who His Friends Are
The Spanish prime minister is trying too hard to make a deal with his rivals.
Nick Ottens September 8, 2020 November 18, 2021
Dutch, Italian and Spanish socialist party leaders Frans Timmermans, Nicola Zingaretti and Pedro Sánchez meet in Brussels, March 21, 2019 (PES)
It is time for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to accept that little more will come of his overtures to Spain’s conservative opposition.
Sánchez, a social democrat who rules in coalition with the far-left Podemos (We Can), came to power with the support of Basque, Catalan and other regional parties.
But since the outbreak of coronavirus disease, he has tried to build broader support for his recovery programs.
I argued in July that Sánchez was walking a fine line. Make too many compromises with the right and Podemos and the Catalan Republican Left could feel betrayed.
That point is approaching fast.
Not in vain
The outreach hasn’t been completely in vain. The new leader of the liberal-nationalist Citizens, who were decimated in the last election when they shifted too far to the right, has made common cause with Sánchez.
The conservative People’s Party did support economic and health-care programs to cope with the immediate effects of COVID-19.
But it is unwilling to support social reforms that include rental protections, a basic minimum wage and measures against gender violence.
Nor is it willing to vote for Sánchez’ proposed budget so long as he doesn’t distance himself from Podemos and Catalan separatists.
“We will lend support,” People’s Party leader Pablo Casado said after meeting with Sánchez on Wednesday, “if the other does not support radicals.”
Sánchez had earlier called for “unity of action” and an end to “party squabbling”.
While trying to win over the People’s Party, Sánchez has been putting off talks with the Catalans, who are growing restless.
The Republican Left is competing with hardline separatists in its region, who argued from the start that Sánchez could not be trusted. Sánchez promised talks about more autonomy in return for the Republican Left’s support. If those talks — on hold due to the pandemic — are postponed indefinitely, and there is no amnesty for the nine separatist leaders who are in prison for leading a failed breakaway from Spain in 2017, separatist voters could lose what little hope they have of negotiated solution.
Podemos doesn’t have anywhere else to go, but its popularity is down from a high of 21 percent in the 2016 election to 10-12 percent in recent surveys. At some point it might tire of being taken for granted.
Too far apart
If Sánchez assumes the People’s Party will want to make a deal in order to appeal to centrist voters, he is mistaken. Casado has made clear, in two elections in a row, that he is more interested in competing with the far right, which argues for cutting public funding for abortions, deporting illegal immigrants, revoking Catalonia’s autonomy and taking Gibraltar back from the British.
There is a reason negotiations for a German-style grand coalition failed after the last election. The Socialists and the People’s Party are too far apart. The pandemic has only brought them so much closer.
Podemos — the only national party in Spain that supports a Catalan right to self-determination — has been loyal to the government, despite not seeing many of its priorities, from nationalizing industries to pulling out of NATO, realized.
The Republican Left still hasn’t given up on the possibility of a deal, despite not getting anything from Sánchez in the last year and despite its own leader, Oriol Junqueras, being one of the nine separatists in prison.
Sánchez has come as far as he can with the right. He needs to pay more attention to his friends.

Should National Telecom Regulators Impose Buildout Requirements on Operators?

In the mobile operator space in many countries, the national regulators are imposing so-called “buildout requirements” as a license condition on many wireless providers. In some countries, these requirements are restricted to licenses awarded by the auction process (e.g., cellular access spectrum) or block allocations while in others these conditions are attached to the majority of licenses.
Where buildout requirements are employed, a license typically has a clause that requires the licensee to build out a network/link or specified portion of a network within a certain period of time, with penalties imposed for failure to do so.
The rationale behind imposing these requirements is to ensure that after spectrum is assigned it is put to its intended use without delay. By doing this, or so the theory goes, bidders are discouraged from acquiring spectrum with the sole intent of blocking competitors’ activities without themselves offering service. Of course, the ultimate goal is the protection of spectrum—a finite and precious resource. There is no reason buildout requirements cannot be attached to any license grant, assuming that the detail of the requirements recognizes any constraints of the application for which the spectrum is sought.
Nevertheless, Aviat Networks is strongly against auctions and block allocations, but where these are a necessity then buildout requirements must be part of any award, with strong enforcement rules. The problem is that with strong enforcement operators and regulators can be at loggerheads and get tied up in court with lawsuits and countersuits for years. For example, in the U.S. you have the case of Fibertower. The FCC claims that Fibertower deliberately underbuilt its network and so moved to revoke its spectrum licenses. With the regulator moving against the operator, it came under insurmountable financial pressure and filed for bankruptcy. But even now, the operator’s creditors are fighting the FCC in order to recoup frequencies valued at more than US$100 million. So it is questionable whether this actually works in practice.
Microwave is the point
Focusing on point-to-point microwave, let’s examine the approach taken in two different countries. In the United States, for traditional link-by-link allocation, the FCC imposes an 18-month deadline by which time the link in question needs to be in service. However, in the United Kingdom, Ofcom imposes no such deadline. For certain applications, certain routes and sites are critical and can quickly become “full.” If these key locations are being filled by license applications that are not being translated into operational services, then this spectrum is effectively wasted as no one else can use it, nor is there any service being offered. Spectrum wasted in this manner reduces overall spectrum efficiency, and all spectrum authorities are motivated to ensure that spectrum is used in the most efficient way possible.
Of course having these rules is fine, but what happens when the rules are breached? In some cases, an operator will apply for an extension prior to the expiration of the original deadline; this may or may not be granted. However, the real test is what happens when the deadline passes. Ideally, what should happen is that the license(s) in question would be revoked and the associated spectrum made available for reallocation. Furthermore, if the spectrum in question was originally made available by block allocation or auction, then again, ideally, this spectrum should be returned to the pool of spectrum available for link-by-link licensing.
Additionally in shared bands, i.e., spectrum shared by the Fixed Service (FS) and the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) should be governed by the same requirements in this instance. Therefore, unused/defunct FSS allocations/licenses should also be revoked with the spectrum being made available for reuse. In the case of FSS locations, this can have a significant effect owing to the geographic full-arc protection area that is usually associated with earth stations.
The alternative viewpoint is that the current buildout requirements are counterproductive, in their aim to foster efficient use of spectrum. One reason cited for this view is that it takes time for an equipment supply ecosystem to develop, which will serve the spectrum users. However, when we examine this claim more carefully, it seems that this is often used where the spectrum has been awarded to a single user either by block allocation or by auction. We have written before about how auctions and block allocations are unsuitable for point-to-point microwave, and the claim above is a direct result of this process, which negatively impacts the number of operators. In turn, that reduces the ranks of equipment vendors, leading to thinner competition and, therefore, decreased incentive for innovation. This situation is made worse if the operator in question chooses a band plan that is nonstandard in terms of either existing U.S. or international arrangements.
Signal termination
In the final analysis, it does not serve any stakeholders’ goals to have valuable spectrum allocated but unutilized. Thus, having buildout requirements would appear to be a good idea. But along with that, an effective mechanism for reclaiming and making available to others spectrum that runs afoul of these rules is paramount to making the process work for the Greater Good. In Aviat’s view, buildout requirements are a valuable tool in ensuring spectrum efficiency and as such, their use should be seriously considered in all countries.

Are Auctions an Appropriate Way to Allocate Microwave Spectrum?
Auction, FCC, Federal Communications Commission, Frequency, microwave, Spectrum auction, U.S. Congress, United States, United States Congress
Recently the U.S. Congress requested information from the FCC regarding the usage of the 11, 18 and 23GHz microwave point to point bands. This move is seen by many industry watchers as the first step in preparing these bands for auctioning.
Auctioning spectrum is seen by many in the political establishment as a good way of raising large sums of money. The 3G auctions in Europe raised $30 billion in the U.K. and $45 billion in Germany and although these figures will probably never be reached again, the attraction for governments trying to balance the books in an economic downturn is clear to see. However, these figures were for cellular access spectrum and there is evidence of microwave spectrum auctions being priced too high for operators and no bids being received, e.g. the original 28GHz auction in the U.K during 2000-2002. But even if the bidding process itself is successful, is granting large amounts of spectrum to a single operator the right way to allocate microwave spectrum?
Let’s look a little deeper into how microwave spectrum is used and allocated in most cases today in licensed common carrier frequency bands. An operator wanting to install a microwave link between points A and B would seek to obtain an individual license for that link in that specific location and frequency. This allows others to apply for other frequencies or even the same frequency in different locations. This approach maximizes use of the available spectrum.
Now let’s look at the block licensing approach. Here a block of spectrum (either on a national or regional basis) is allocated to one user. Block allocations on a regional basis make sense for multipoint applications like fixed wireless access or mobile network applications. However, in the case of point to point (PTP) allocation a block license holder may not have requirements for that entire spectrum, but because it is now their spectrum, no one else can gain access, often resulting in under utilization. This is the situation currently with the 38GHz band in the U.S. and is leading to some in the industry to push for the availability of additional spectrum.
Another example of this is the 28GHz LMDS band, where service take up has been very low, but has effectively blocked out this band from other uses/users. Another concern for the block licensing approach and one that affects equipment vendors is that with fewer operators there are fewer equipment contracts thus leading some manufacturers to be “frozen” out of the market. This will ultimately reduce choice for all and reduce innovation and competition.
Referring back to the announcement, it makes no mention of what would happen to the holders of existing link licenses who will have engineered their networks based upon the current rules. What would happen to these links should that band now be auctioned off as a block? Spectrum auctions also break the U.S. into many smaller regions, with each regional block license being auctioned to the highest bidder. This leads to the question of demarcation and coordination between adjacent regions, particularly for links that may need cross-regional boundaries.
All in all, it would appear that based on evidence to date, auctioning FCC Common Carrier microwave spectrum will be tremendously complicated and likely not in the long term interests of the industry.

The Blood Speaketh
There is an important law in all Biblical interpretation. My people are well versed in this law, because I do not know how often, in my preaching, I have emphasised and underlined it. It is the law of the first mention. That is, the first time a doctrine, a person, a word, or a particular truth is mentioned in the Bible it gives you the golden key to every other mention of that particular doctrine, person or truth. So in keeping with that law I open my Bible to find the first mention of the blood. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1853 | {"url": "https://avoiceinthedesert.libsyn.com/the-blood-speaketh", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "avoiceinthedesert.libsyn.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:03:19Z", "digest": "sha1:M5OSKKK7R6MX4XRHGC2T6UDXYQNUMTBP"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 521, 521.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 521, 2898.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 521, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 521, 191.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 521, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 521, 192.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 521, 0.5]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 521, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 521, 0.05853659]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 521, 0.07317073]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 521, 0.02678571]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 521, 0.11607143]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 521, 0.57575758]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 521, 4.14141414]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 521, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 521, 3.83270099]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 521, 99.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 521, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 521, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 19, 3.0], [19, 521, 96.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 521, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 521, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.15789474], [19, 521, 0.02191235]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 521, 0.33886755]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 521, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 521, 4.816e-05]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 521, 9.64092435]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 521, 15.89690629]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 521, -24.99049787]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 521, 5.0]]} |

Doc F. Benson and Howard H. Pullins started the weekly African American newspaper, the Arizona Sun, in Phoenix, Arizona, in April 1942. Under its masthead, the Democratic newspaper stated, “Published in the interest of Social, Political and Economic Welfare of 15,000 Negroes of Arizona.” This was updated to 60,000 in 1949 to reflect the growing African American population in Arizona. In October 1950, the Arizona Sun’s new masthead incorporated a drawing of the sun rising over the mountains with saguaro cacti in the valley below. The Arizona Sun was the only African American newspaper published in Phoenix during the 1940s and 1950s, after the Phoenix Index [LCCN: sn 96060866] ceased about 1943 and before the Arizona Tribune [LCCN: sn 84021918] began in 1958. During that time, the newspaper listed at the top of every front page: “Read Arizona’s Only Negro Newspaper.”
The Arizona Sun regularly featured issues of local and national importance, from urging voters to desegregate Arizona schools, to news of the Phoenix Urban League, from labor rights to veterans’ news. In the 1940s, Nellie Maye Taylor had a regular column, “Sunshine,” in which she commented on the racial, political, and economic challenges faced by people of color. Other regular columns included “The Fiction Corner” and “Sidewalk Opinion,” which featured photos of school children and their views on issues of the day. In 1946, the paper introduced a comics section and a “Woman’s World” column about fashion and clothing.
In the April 1952 tenth anniversary issue, the editor noted that the Arizona Sun continued its original message of “the promotion of social, political and economic welfare of Arizona's Colored citizens—most good for the greatest number.” In looking back over the news it had printed in the preceding ten years, the Sun noted that its “pages have been filled with pleas and arguments in behalf of Negro rights in the community.” The newspaper’s thirteenth anniversary edition stated it had three main guiding interests: “the home, the church, and the school,” and indeed news about the local community was prominent.
Katherine Bass, who wrote a column “Bits of This and That” about community members and local happenings, took over as editor for one year in June 1943 when Howard Pullins left. By July 1944, Doc Benson was the sole managing editor. Due to Benson’s health, the Sun suspended publication in December 1958 but resumed in February 1960 with Benson as publisher and Alton Thomas as managing editor. Benson had served as president of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) of Arizona and was among the first African Americans to be elected to the Arizona legislature. Thomas, who had been executive director of the Phoenix Urban League for several years, was editor until December 1962, when Charles R. Campbell briefly served as managing editor. Charles Campbell and his brother Cloves Campbell later published the Arizona Informant [LCCN: sn 92060457], which is still being published in Phoenix. By January 1963, Thomas was again managing editor, and the paper ceased publication by 1965.

Rafa 20th
Nadal and Babolat – an incredible journey over 20 years
As Rafael Nadal lay on the red clay of the Philippe Chatrier arena on Sunday after beating Novak Djokovic, he could reflect on the latest piece of history he has made – a piece of history full of round numbers that forms a perfect way of marking the 20th anniversary of the start of his journey with Babolat.
Sunday’s win was Nadal’s 13th Roland Garros and 20th Grand Slam title, secured with his 100th victory at Roland Garros, rounding off a 15-year period between the first and (so far) last of his major titles. After the first of those, a four-sets win over Mariano Puerta to win the 2005 French title, Nadal phoned the staff at Babolat to thank them for giving him the primary tool in his remarkable triumph.
Little wonder the likeable Mallorcan says, ‘However great your dedication, you never win anything on your own.’ A tennis player’s most important weapon is the racquet, and Nadal has been accompanied on his journey by his yellow Aero. But his association with Babolat began much before that memorable day in June 2005.
The young Rafa was eight when Babolat launched its first racquet, the Pure Drive in 1994. A year later the boy was showing such promise that his coach, his uncle Toni Nadal, looked for a better weapon for his left-handed nephew. Because Babolat had chosen Spain as its first market abroad after launching the Pure Drive in France, the racquet was one of the models on show. The fact that it was used by Carlos Moya added status for a sports-mad boy; at the time, Moya was not just an upcoming Spanish player but, like Nadal, came from the island of Mallorca. Nadal tried the lighter version of the Pure Drive, the Soft Drive, and liked it. Thus began his journey with Babolat.
As he grew, Nadal graduated to the Pure Drive, but then made another switch in 2004.
In 2003, convinced that Nadal would be an outstanding player who would rely on his heavy spin to dominate opponents, Babolat launched the first of its racquets to carry the name ‘Aero’. It was engineered specifically for spin. Featuring an aerodynamic section to increase head speed which gave the ball more rotations per minute, it proved perfect for the topspin-heavy game with which Nadal was about to conquer the tennis world. Babolat’s CEO Eric Babolat says, ‘It was key for us to support Rafa and the evolution of the game, that’s why we decided to build a new racquet with a very specific focus on power and spin.’ Nadal adopted it in 2004, the year he played a crucial part in Spain’s Davis Cup winning team.
The early Aero saw him to his first six major titles: four French, one Wimbledon and one Australian Open, plus the Olympic gold medal of 2008. By then it was the distinctive yellow we know today. In late 2009 he started using the RPM Blast, an octagonal structured string with silicone to favour the snap-back of strings and therefore create even more spin. By September 2010 he had won the US Open to complete a career ‘Golden Slam’ and was back at the top of the world rankings.
Since then, in addition of the Aero’s technical evolution, two major changes were made at strategic times to customise Rafa’s racquet for his own needs – well, major by the standards of a perfectionist who pays attention to even the tiniest detail.
In 2011, after six years of uninterrupted progress, Nadal faced a new challenge. With Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray all in good form, Nadal needed to find something new, in particular ways of countering Djokovic, the man who had taken his place as world No 1. He worked out that he needed to play closer to the baseline, and for that he needed his racquet to put ‘more’ on the ball. Babolat’s customisation team worked on the addition of a sliver of weight tape at the top of his frame to increase the powerful ‘hammer effect’. That added three grams to the weight – in relative terms a big increase.
The result was dramatic. Nadal bounced back to beat Djokovic at Roland Garros in 2012 and 2013, and notably in the US Open final of 2013, a gruelling match that included a 54-shot rally in the second set. By October 2013 he was back at the top of the rankings.
Then after another difficult season in 2016, he asked for an additional two grams, also at the top of the frame. ‘Apart from these strips of weight tape at the top of the frame, there is almost no specific customisation of his racquet,’ says Guillaume Cambon, one of the Babolat technicians who works on Nadal’s frame. The result was a tenth Roland Garros title – the ‘Decima’ –, followed by the US Open title that same year.
By now, the racquet in Nadal’s hand looked slightly different to the Pure Aero on sale in sports stores, but essentially it was the same. Babolat, working with Nadal, integrated into the racket’s design warm and bold colours that were significant for him: red for the Spanish flag to go with the Aero’s basic yellow, orange to denote the clay, and purple as he feels the colour stands for honesty and integrity. It means the racquet he plays with is distinctively his, but plenty of other players benefit from the same technology and innovations.
Now Nadal has equalled Roger Federer’s record of 20 major titles, and could well exceed it in 2021. Despite the success, he has remained a very humble man, never underestimating opponents, never taking anything for granted, never believing it’s all down to his efforts alone, and never breaking a racquet in anger. Babolat is proud to keep accompanying this remarkable human being on his incredible journey. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1856 | {"url": "https://babolat.com.vn/en/rafa-20th/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "babolat.com.vn", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:43:12Z", "digest": "sha1:7HLDFCEF23IR6UUXICXIYGHUDJUSOCDM"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 5566, 5566.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 5566, 8339.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 5566, 15.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 5566, 246.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 5566, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 5566, 321.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 5566, 0.42582897]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 5566, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 5566, 0.02461952]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 5566, 0.02461952]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 5566, 0.01880036]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 5566, 0.01230976]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 5566, 0.00895255]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 5566, 0.01119069]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 5566, 0.0061082]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 5566, 0.14223386]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 5566, 0.46052632]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 5566, 4.52226721]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 5566, 5.41453323]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 5566, 988.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 10, 0.0], [10, 66, 0.0], [66, 375, 1.0], [375, 781, 1.0], [781, 1099, 1.0], [1099, 1776, 1.0], [1776, 1861, 1.0], [1861, 2578, 1.0], [2578, 3059, 1.0], [3059, 3308, 1.0], [3308, 3925, 1.0], [3925, 4186, 1.0], [4186, 4612, 1.0], [4612, 5159, 1.0], [5159, 5566, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 10, 0.0], [10, 66, 0.0], [66, 375, 0.0], [375, 781, 0.0], [781, 1099, 0.0], [1099, 1776, 0.0], [1776, 1861, 0.0], [1861, 2578, 0.0], [2578, 3059, 0.0], [3059, 3308, 0.0], [3308, 3925, 0.0], [3925, 4186, 0.0], [4186, 4612, 0.0], [4612, 5159, 0.0], [5159, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 10, 2.0], [10, 66, 10.0], [66, 375, 58.0], [375, 781, 72.0], [781, 1099, 52.0], [1099, 1776, 123.0], [1776, 1861, 16.0], [1861, 2578, 126.0], [2578, 3059, 88.0], [3059, 3308, 42.0], [3308, 3925, 112.0], [3925, 4186, 50.0], [4186, 4612, 77.0], [4612, 5159, 94.0], [5159, 5566, 66.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 10, 0.22222222], [10, 66, 0.03636364], [66, 375, 0.00653595], [375, 781, 0.03291139], [781, 1099, 0.01286174], [1099, 1776, 0.00607903], [1776, 1861, 0.04938272], [1861, 2578, 0.01136364], [2578, 3059, 0.02547771], [3059, 3308, 0.0], [3308, 3925, 0.00827815], [3925, 4186, 0.07086614], [4186, 4612, 0.00961538], [4612, 5159, 0.0], [5159, 5566, 0.01507538]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 10, 0.0], [10, 66, 0.0], [66, 375, 0.0], [375, 781, 0.0], [781, 1099, 0.0], [1099, 1776, 0.0], [1776, 1861, 0.0], [1861, 2578, 0.0], [2578, 3059, 0.0], [3059, 3308, 0.0], [3308, 3925, 0.0], [3925, 4186, 0.0], [4186, 4612, 0.0], [4612, 5159, 0.0], [5159, 5566, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 10, 0.1], [10, 66, 0.03571429], [66, 375, 0.02912621], [375, 781, 0.03448276], [781, 1099, 0.02830189], [1099, 1776, 0.04135894], [1776, 1861, 0.04705882], [1861, 2578, 0.0264993], [2578, 3059, 0.04158004], [3059, 3308, 0.01204819], [3308, 3925, 0.02431118], [3925, 4186, 0.03831418], [4186, 4612, 0.03051643], [4612, 5159, 0.01645338], [5159, 5566, 0.01474201]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 5566, 0.63984519]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 5566, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 5566, 0.95205206]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 5566, -35.31176247]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 5566, 162.60917261]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 5566, 27.21151647]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 5566, 40.0]]} |
Origins of April Fools Day (according to Wikipedia)
Precursors of April Fools' Day include the Roman festival of Hilaria, held March 25, and the Medieval Feast of Fools, held December 28, still a day on which pranks are played in Spanish-speaking countries.
In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392), the "Nun's Priest's Tale" is set Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two. Modern scholars believe that there is a copying error in the extant manuscripts and that Chaucer actually wrote, Syn March was gon. Thus, the passage originally meant 32 days after April, i.e. May 2, the anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia, which took place in 1381. Readers apparently misunderstood this line to mean "March 32", i.e. April 1. In Chaucer's tale, the vain cock Chauntecleer is tricked by a fox.
In 1508, French poet Eloy d'Amerval referred to a poisson d’avril (April fool, literally "April fish"), a possible reference to the holiday. In 1539, Flemish poet Eduard de Dene wrote of a nobleman who sent his servants on foolish errands on April 1. In 1686, John Aubrey referred to the holiday as "Fooles holy day", the first British reference. On April 1, 1698, several people were tricked into going to the Tower of London to "see the Lions washed".
In the Middle Ages, New Year's Day was celebrated on March 25 in most European towns. In some areas of France, New Year's was a week-long holiday ending on April 1. Many writers suggest that April Fools originated because those who celebrated on January 1 made fun of those who celebrated on other dates. The use of January 1 as New Year's Day was common in France by the mid-16th century, and this date was adopted officially in 1564 by the Edict of Roussillon.
A study in the 1950s, by folklorists Iona and Peter Opie, found that in the UK and those countries whose traditions derived from there, the joking ceased at midday. But this practice appears to have lapsed in more recent years.

Top 10 Characteristics of a Successful Business
What makes a successful business? It may seem like a random assortment of factors, but there are many characteristics in common among successful businesses. These characteristics may vary depending on the type of products or services a company offers, as well as management style or company culture. But when comparing two or more businesses, it’s helpful to consider the traits of both as a whole. Listed below are the top ten characteristics of a successful business.
Ten must have characteristics of a successful business
Successful businesses have a focus on one main product or service and expand to different areas of the niche in which they specialize. The owners of successful businesses are flexible and take risks only when it improves the business. They do not overextend themselves, however. Here are Ten must-have characteristics of a successful business:
Ten ways to measure success of a business
While the definition of success for a business varies widely, there are several factors that all businesses should measure. These metrics will allow you to see where you stand on different levels of success, and they will help you determine what works and doesn’t. The most obvious one is profitability, but there are other ways to measure success that might be more interesting to you. Below are ten ways to measure success for your business.
First, consider employee satisfaction. The higher the employee satisfaction, the more likely they are to work hard and provide excellent service. If employees are satisfied, they’ll give their best, and this is the ultimate measure of success. In fact, employee satisfaction is the most important metric of all. The higher the employee satisfaction, the more likely they will work hard to make your business successful. Therefore, measure employee satisfaction as a way to recognize outstanding performance.
Another way to gauge success is new customer count. New customers are important because they help determine whether your business is growing or not. If your customer count is stagnant, it may be time to restructure your marketing strategy or track your current customer base. Then, average out the new customers with the existing ones to get a better picture of success. Once you’ve gotten a good idea of how your business is doing, you can determine if it’s working or not.
Ten ways to become a successful business owner
There are many steps you can take to become a successful business owner, but the key to success is learning how to turn setbacks into opportunities. All businesses will face setbacks along the way. Don’t see these challenges as a reason to quit, but as opportunities to make changes and move forward. These setbacks may result from changing product offerings itubego or even restructuring your team. The most successful business owners have many mentors who give them valuable insights and guidance.
One of the most important lessons for entrepreneurs to follow is to embrace their uniqueness. There are many entrepreneurs who have succeeded despite being “cut from the same cloth.” It is important to recognize that success is not based on conformity and that you must find your unique way. By finding your own way, you can develop a product or service that impacts consumers in an innovative way. This may seem counter-intuitive, but it is one of the most important lessons to remember when running a business.
Staying close to your customers. Business owners often focus too much on the “what’s missing” instead of finding what people need. It is better to understand the customer journey to find the gaps and fill them. Having a close relationship with customers is essential for business success. Even if your business is a small one, you’ll never know the potential of what could be in the market if you don’t connect with them. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1858 | {"url": "https://baidu-abcsougou-guge-sdg.com/top-10-characteristics-of-a-successful-business/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "baidu-abcsougou-guge-sdg.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:18:59Z", "digest": "sha1:JIXVS7JUXWVQWT4YJJAGD67VKN6HLAUW"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3867, 3867.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3867, 6522.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3867, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3867, 179.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3867, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3867, 179.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3867, 0.48543689]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3867, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3867, 0.129653]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3867, 0.09337539]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3867, 0.03091483]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3867, 0.03091483]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3867, 0.03091483]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3867, 0.04542587]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3867, 0.04195584]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3867, 0.03533123]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3867, 0.10540915]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3867, 0.40944882]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3867, 4.99212598]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3867, 5.00748301]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3867, 635.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 518, 1.0], [518, 573, 0.0], [573, 917, 0.0], [917, 959, 0.0], [959, 1403, 1.0], [1403, 1911, 1.0], [1911, 2386, 1.0], [2386, 2433, 0.0], [2433, 2933, 1.0], [2933, 3446, 1.0], [3446, 3867, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 518, 0.0], [518, 573, 0.0], [573, 917, 0.0], [917, 959, 0.0], [959, 1403, 0.0], [1403, 1911, 0.0], [1911, 2386, 0.0], [2386, 2433, 0.0], [2433, 2933, 0.0], [2933, 3446, 0.0], [3446, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 48, 7.0], [48, 518, 76.0], [518, 573, 8.0], [573, 917, 54.0], [917, 959, 8.0], [959, 1403, 75.0], [1403, 1911, 76.0], [1911, 2386, 82.0], [2386, 2433, 8.0], [2433, 2933, 81.0], [2933, 3446, 87.0], [3446, 3867, 73.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.04255319], [48, 518, 0.0], [518, 573, 0.0], [573, 917, 0.0], [917, 959, 0.0], [959, 1403, 0.0], [1403, 1911, 0.0], [1911, 2386, 0.0], [2386, 2433, 0.0], [2433, 2933, 0.0], [2933, 3446, 0.0], [3446, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 518, 0.0], [518, 573, 0.0], [573, 917, 0.0], [917, 959, 0.0], [959, 1403, 0.0], [1403, 1911, 0.0], [1911, 2386, 0.0], [2386, 2433, 0.0], [2433, 2933, 0.0], [2933, 3446, 0.0], [3446, 3867, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.08333333], [48, 518, 0.0106383], [518, 573, 0.01818182], [573, 917, 0.01453488], [917, 959, 0.02380952], [959, 1403, 0.00900901], [1403, 1911, 0.01181102], [1911, 2386, 0.01052632], [2386, 2433, 0.0212766], [2433, 2933, 0.01], [2933, 3446, 0.00974659], [3446, 3867, 0.01187648]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3867, 0.04360288]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3867, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3867, 0.0172115]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3867, -133.9940634]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3867, 47.50684348]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3867, -248.48934559]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3867, 38.0]]} |

Nation set to pay homage to language martyrs
Tue, Feb 21, 2023 12:00 AM
The nation is set to observe the ‘Shaheed Dibash' (Martyrs Day) and the International Mother Language Day today with due respect.

On Feb 21 in 1952, Salam, Rafique, Shafique, Jabbar and Barkat embraced martyrdom in police firing in front of the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital as they took to the street to intensify the campaign to establish Bangla as the state language of the then Pakistan, sowing the seeds of subsequent movements for the country's independence. They were killed as police opened fire on students demonstrating under the All-Party Students Action Committee against conspiracies of Pakistani rulers to declare ‘Urdu’ as the only state language.
The movement for Bangla, however, did not stop and Pakistan government on Feb 29, 1956 was compelled to recognise Bangla as one of the state languages besides Urdu. The decision, however, could not stop the movement against repression and misrule of Pakistani government that subsequently led the Bangalee to the War of Independence and the emergence of Bangladesh.

COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY
In the educational survey created in preparation for this handbook, parents were asked to rate the degree to which they felt that the burden was on them to educate their child’s school as to the nature of Barth syndrome (BTHS). Not surprisingly, nearly 100% of the respondents answered the question with a 5 out of 5, saying that the burden was fully on them to educate the school about BTHS. The next question asked parents to rate the degree of their success in educating their child’s school as to the nature of BTHS. Three quarters of the respondents rated their degree of success a 4 or 5 out of 5, a statistic that suggests that parents are already very good at communicating with educators and that educators are often open to learning about the special needs of individual children. Still, the guidelines below might offer parents some helpful tips and strategies.
A good rule for all meetings and correspondences with teachers and administrators is to keep it simple. Try to remember that teachers usually work at 110% capacity and that school administrators are often responding to many significant challenges at the same time. If parents can simplify their issues to one or two clear and essential points, they will make it easier for the school to respond positively to their concerns.
Furthermore, parents cannot be effective advocates for their child if they are perceived by the school as being a problem parent. Throughout any letter and throughout any meeting, parents should use a calm tone and remember that they are working with the school to educate their child, not against the school in an adversarial relationship. If a negative and angry relationship develops between the parents and the school, everyone will suffer, but the student will suffer the most because he will not receive the care he needs at school. Even when parents believe that the school has acted unfairly towards their son, they must try to avoid blaming the teachers or administrators directly. If teachers and administrators feel blamed for mistakes, they will dig in their heels on issues, and they will not make adjustments.
Parents should avoid making demands even when they see a course of action that the school should take with regards to their child. Educators are professionals, and it is not their job to answer directly to parents. The best course of action is for parents to know their rights, their child’s rights, and their child’s needs and then to calmly work with educators towards the best solution for the student.
Parents should keep in mind that for the most part, teachers and administrators of schools are good people who have every desire to do what is best for their students. There are very few teachers in the world who would knowingly tolerate a situation that could hurt a child physically or emotionally. Parents should remember that teachers often have so many students in class that it is difficult to remember the needs of each and every individual child. If they are willing to help educators learn about the nature of BTHS as well as about the particular needs of their child, parents can help teachers be better teachers for their children.
Before a parent communicates with a teacher or school administrator about an incident that occurred in school, the following rule should be kept in mind: Parents do not see clearly what happens in the classroom and teachers do not see clearly what happens at home. Parents and educators can best help the student by working together to discover facts and share perspectives without blame, without demands, and without anger.
The educational survey gathered some hopeful statistics regarding how schools have responded to the needs of students with BTHS. When asked to rate how accommodating school administrators have been regarding the special needs of their children, 75% of the parents gave the administrators a 4 or 5 out of 5, and when asked how accommodating children’s teachers have been regarding the special needs of their children, over 80% of the parents answered that the teachers’ were a 4 or 5 out of 5 in making accommodations. Certainly, there are too many stories of schools that fail to care properly for children with BTHS, but these numbers suggest that by and large, parents can reasonably expect that schools will make appropriate accommodations for their children. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1861 | {"url": "https://barthsyndrome.org/barthsyndrome/familyresources/toolsforschool/communicateeffectively.html", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "barthsyndrome.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:07:32Z", "digest": "sha1:ASPAWJOOO6KL75BDIDNZVZAO2YT3A7Q5"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4382, 4382.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4382, 20711.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4382, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4382, 391.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4382, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4382, 230.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4382, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4382, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4382, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4382, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4382, 0.52992519]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4382, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4382, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4382, 0.06822612]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4382, 0.06822612]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4382, 0.05374547]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4382, 0.04455583]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4382, 0.02617655]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4382, 0.02005013]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4382, 0.00668338]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4382, 0.00779727]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4382, 0.01122195]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4382, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4382, 0.09975062]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4382, 0.36885246]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4382, 4.9057377]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4382, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4382, 4.9605793]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4382, 732.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 897, 1.0], [897, 1322, 1.0], [1322, 2146, 1.0], [2146, 2552, 1.0], [2552, 3195, 1.0], [3195, 3620, 1.0], [3620, 4382, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 897, 0.0], [897, 1322, 0.0], [1322, 2146, 0.0], [2146, 2552, 0.0], [2552, 3195, 0.0], [3195, 3620, 0.0], [3620, 4382, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 24, 2.0], [24, 897, 151.0], [897, 1322, 70.0], [1322, 2146, 135.0], [2146, 2552, 70.0], [2552, 3195, 111.0], [3195, 3620, 69.0], [3620, 4382, 124.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 897, 0.00931315], [897, 1322, 0.0071599], [1322, 2146, 0.0], [2146, 2552, 0.0], [2552, 3195, 0.0], [3195, 3620, 0.0], [3620, 4382, 0.01331558]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 897, 0.0], [897, 1322, 0.0], [1322, 2146, 0.0], [2146, 2552, 0.0], [2552, 3195, 0.0], [3195, 3620, 0.0], [3620, 4382, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.91666667], [24, 897, 0.02061856], [897, 1322, 0.00705882], [1322, 2146, 0.00606796], [2146, 2552, 0.00738916], [2552, 3195, 0.01244168], [3195, 3620, 0.00705882], [3620, 4382, 0.0144357]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4382, 0.28548825]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4382, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4382, 0.01881677]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4382, -50.78514887]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4382, 80.95131879]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4382, -112.74545133]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4382, 25.0]]} |

Blumarine for Spring-Summer 2014
Blumarine's Spring-Summer 2014 collection, presented during the Milan Fashion Week (September 2013) is a 'hidden garden on a summer night', like brand's designer Anna Molinari describes it.
Creations include butterfly lace, white point d'esprit, and fil coupé weave with splashes of coral and gold, which makes it really fresh and cute. But that's not all...

The ambassador of Italy gave very high praise to prof. Lubomir Stoykov
Prof. Lubomir Stoykov’s new book World Fashion. Part Three: Italy is already a cultural and aesthetical fact. During its official premiere at Vitosha Park Hotel, it was presented by H.E. Stefano Benazzo – ambassador of Republic of Italy to Bulgaria who is also author of the introductory words. Mr. Benazzo notices: The work of Prof. Lubomir Stoykov has the merit to tell the story of the evolution of the Italian fashion through the stories of our biggest designers from the post-war period until the present, showing that fashion is most of all a result of the labour of really unusually people rather than of more or less inspired persons, more or less anti conformists. I am grateful to Prof. Stoykov, because thanks to him, many Bulgarians who love so much our country, will be able to "understand" the Italian fashion, will be able to explain its language and symbols, rather than only fall in love from first sight. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1863 | {"url": "https://beauty.bgfashion.net/tags/Anna_Molinari", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "beauty.bgfashion.net", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:32:34Z", "digest": "sha1:SDXJMK5KLRHH6LBNJOF327HHHOQ7EMK6"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1432, 1432.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1432, 14145.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1432, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1432, 277.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1432, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1432, 323.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1432, 0.38754325]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1432, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1432, 0.01736111]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1432, 0.03125]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1432, 0.02083333]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1432, 0.01038062]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1432, 0.14285714]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1432, 0.16608997]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1432, 0.65677966]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1432, 4.88135593]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1432, 0.00346021]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1432, 4.76509828]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1432, 236.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 52, 0.0], [52, 242, 1.0], [242, 411, 1.0], [411, 439, 0.0], [439, 510, 0.0], [510, 1432, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 52, 0.0], [52, 242, 0.0], [242, 411, 0.0], [411, 439, 0.0], [439, 510, 0.0], [510, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 19, 3.0], [19, 52, 4.0], [52, 242, 27.0], [242, 411, 28.0], [411, 439, 4.0], [439, 510, 12.0], [510, 1432, 158.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 52, 0.12903226], [52, 242, 0.04469274], [242, 411, 0.0], [411, 439, 0.0], [439, 510, 0.0], [510, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 52, 0.0], [52, 242, 0.0], [242, 411, 0.0], [411, 439, 0.0], [439, 510, 0.0], [510, 1432, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.15789474], [19, 52, 0.09090909], [52, 242, 0.04736842], [242, 411, 0.01183432], [411, 439, 0.03571429], [439, 510, 0.05633803], [510, 1432, 0.03362256]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1432, 0.26086545]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1432, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1432, 0.65942544]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1432, -24.60393055]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1432, 5.22361026]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1432, -18.43185324]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1432, 15.0]]} |

Definition of a Floor Jack
It would be quite unfortunate if you were to go out shopping for a floor jack, not knowing exactly what you are looking for, or even the purpose it serve. A floor jack is a mechanical device, which is commonly used to lift and support vehicles off the ground. There are three main types of floor jacks, namely, scissor jack, bottle jack and the hydraulic floor jack.
The hydraulic and the bottle jack use hydraulics to be able to lift the loads, while the scissor jack uses a lead and screw. The professional mechanics tend to prefer the hydraulic floor jack, as it is easy to use and it quite versatile.
However, the bottle jack comes in handy when you have to lift very heavy vehicles, with a higher ground clearance. With that understanding of the definition of the floor jack and the various categories, it is much easier to choose a floor jack that will serve your needs effectively.
Using a Floor Jack
The main use of a floor jack is lifting a vehicle off the ground, for purposes of repairs and maintenance. The main advantage is the fact that the floor jack will grant you easier access to all the components that are underneath the vehicle. Whether you are a professional mechanic or a car enthusiast, there is so much to accomplish using a floor jack.
There is a wide array of tasks that can be completed, easily, with the help of a floor jack. Some of these tasks include suspension and transmission works, changing brake pads, rotating wheels, changing the oil and mounting the engine among so many more. When working on the engine bay, the floor jack can also be used to lift the motor.
Types of Floor Jacks
As mentioned earlier in the definition of a floor jack, there are 3 main types of floor jacks on the market. Each type of floor jack has its own advantages and it would be important to analyse each category so as to find the best floor jack. The 3 categories are:
Hydraulic Floor Jack
Bottle Jack
The hydraulic floor jack is the most preferred type of jack, which makes it common among most users. There are of reasons why most people love this type of floor jack, with the convenience and the ease of use being the main attributes.
This is commonly referred to as the trolley jack, since it comes with a set of wheels at the front and steel casters at the back. The use of hydraulics is what makes it easier to lift loads using this floor jack. There is a cylinder that has the hydraulic fluid, which is compressed by the pumping action. This is what causes the saddle of the floor jack to start rising.
Most models of the hydraulic floor jack come with a varied height range and this allows you to be able to lift your vehicle to the desired height. They will also have different weight capacity rating, which is indicated and should be observed keenly. Over and above lifting your vehicle with a hydraulic floor jack requires very little effort. This is one of the main considerations, when choosing the ideal floor jack to buy.
The bottle jacks comes in different sizes, and they also operate through hydraulics, just like the hydraulic floor jack. One of the greatest advantages of this floor jack is the fact that is has a compact size and can be used on vehicles with a higher ground clearance. The floor jack is shaped like a bottle, which gives it its name.
This is also referred to as a Piston jack and it is quite handy. It has a small footprint at the bottom, which provides the support and stability needed to be able to work on unlevelled surfaces. With the high free height, you can use it with trucks and SUVs, making it easier to place it on the jack points, without much difficulty.
The bottle jack is the one that has the highest lifting capacity and as such, you should consider this is you have many trucks and heavy vehicles. These jacks are made from heavy duty steel, which makes them durable and long lasting in addition to enhancing the stability.
The scissor jack is not a heavy duty floor jack and cannot be used to very heavy load lifting. This jack, will be provided by car manufacturers, in most cases. They are quite small and easy to carry around in your vehicle. The jack uses the lead screw mechanism to lift vehicles and as you can imagine, that takes a whole lot of effort.
As such, you should use this floor jack for emergencies and other lighter tasks like changing a flat tire. Depending on the size of the scissor jack that you will have, you will be limited to a particular height. In most cases, these jacks will only be able to lift the vehicle to a height that allows you to change a flat tire.
The scissor jack is not really stable and as such, it should not be used as the main supporting jack when working underneath the vehicle. This may end up causing a whole lot of damage to your vehicle and any person underneath the car. You should only choose this jack if you want something that can get you out of the woods in an emergency situation.
Safety while Using a Floor Jack
Floor jacks are quite diverse and versatile in nature and can be used to accomplish a whole lot of tasks. However, irrespective of what the manufacturer of the floor jack claims, your choice of the floor jack should be influenced by your personal safety.
A floor jack, like the hydraulic types tend to be quite stable and easy to trust. However, for your own safety, you should consider these tips below, so as to make proper use of the jack, without compromising on your personal safety.
Use Jack Stands
If there is a set of floor jack accessories that you should always have at your disposal, then it must be the jack stands. When you go out shopping for a floor, you may come across models that claim to be stable and can work without any extra support; stay away from such models.
Even the most stable and secure floor jack may fail because it is a mechanical device. The fact that you may never know when it will fail, means that you should never go underneath a vehicle without placing jack stands to support the car.
Once the floor jack becomes old and worn out, you may not notice when it is dropping, as it does this very slowly. By the time one notices, it might be too late, causing severe injuries and even may occasion death. As soon as the vehicle has been raised to the desired height, place the jack stands before going under the car.
Avoid Uneven Surfaces
The stability of you floor jack and the vehicle that is being support depends on the type of surface that you are using the floor jack on. There is a higher risk level when you attempt to use the floor jack on unlevelled surfaces. This will compromise the stability of the floor jack since it cannot be placed in the right position.
Unless, you are on a survival situation, you should never make any attempts to jack a car on a slanted terrain. Even the best hydraulic floor jack may not be able to withstand the challenges posed by an uneven surface. It is advisable to examine the floor surface and park your car at a place that appears to be levelled before you can start raising the vehicle, using your floor jack.
Operate the Jack in Slow Motions
Most floor jack manufacturers use the rapid lift technology as one of the key selling points for floor jack. However, in order to use the floor jack in a safe manner, you should lift the car using slow and gradual intervals. By so doing, you will able to observe the floor jack and check if there are any unusual tendency on the jack.
Should you detect any problems, like difficulty in pumping the floor jack, you should stop using it right away. The slow motions tend to be controlled and this can guarantee you of your personal safety.
Make Use of Jack Points
It is important to note that you cannot lift your vehicle from any part of the frame. There are specific jack points which would provide the advantage point when you raise the car using the floor jack. Be sure to place the saddle of the floor jack at these jack points.
There are some vehicle models with labelled jack points, which makes it easier. If you are not sure, you should check the owner’s manual or even use the internet so that you can learn the particular jack points on your vehicle. This will enhance your safety and prevent unnecessary damage to the vehicle.
Key Factors to Consider When Buying a Floor Jack

Before purchasing your floor jack, it would be prudent to check the overall weight of the car. The bottle jack is ideal for the heavier vehicles and trucks, but it is imperative to ensure that the floor jack is not overload.

Silicon Valley Bank failure touches San Antonio tech companies
SAN ANTONIO – The collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank, which catered to the tech industry, caused some near-misses for startups across the country, including in San Antonio.
SVB was put under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s control after a bank run by panicked depositors. Two days later, the Federal Reserve, US Treasury Department, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation decided to guarantee all deposits at Silicon Valley Bank, as well as New York’s Signature Bank, which was seized on Sunday.
Days earlier, San Antonio’s Plus One Robotics had celebrated a successful $50 million fundraising effort. That money had been deposited with SVB, alongside most of the company’s operational funds – funds Plus One wasn’t able to access until Monday morning.
“There were clearly some tense moments over the weekend,” Plus One Robotics CEO Erik Nieves said.
Nieves said most of the company’s funds weren’t in danger since they were in a money market account, meaning that while they were in SVB’s custody they were technically deposited elsewhere. The real issue, though, was how Plus One could conduct business, including covering payroll for more than 80 employees, without access to its money.
“It did mean that, ‘Hey, we have customers that need to wire us payments. We have vendors that we pay electronically through SVB,’ and all of that plumbing would have to get reworked if in fact the bank failed. And so, you know, it was more trepidation on sort of the mechanics of day-to-day running of the business and never about were we going to lose all our money,” Nieves told KSAT on Tuesday.
SecureLogix faced a similar issue. CEO Lee Sutterfield said all of its operational payouts and receivables go through SVB.
The FDIC insures depositors up to $250,000, but any amount beyond that isn’t automatically guaranteed. Sutterfield would not say exactly how much was in SecureLogix’s account, but said it was “definitely” above that threshold.
However, Sutterfield said “we weren’t terribly worried.”
“We expected the government to cover most of the folks who hold assets in there,” Sutterfield said.
“They (FDIC) have a long track record of fixing these things for the short term. And so…we were pretty confident we would have access to everything on Monday,” he said.
Both companies, though, said they plan to diversify their banking more in the future.
“If a bank had a ransomware situation and locked up their funds, well, we would just make payroll or our obligations out of a different bank,” Nieves said.

Initial Impressions & Pub Day Spotlight – In the Shadow of Lightning
June 21, 2022 biblionerdreflections4 Comments
Happy book birthday to In the Shadow of Lightning by Brian McClellan! I initially planned to share my review for this book today, but I’m not finished with it yet. So, I thought I’d do a quick post about my initial impressions so far and then get back to reading.
Demir Grappo is an outcast—he fled a life of wealth and power, abandoning his responsibilities as a general, a governor, and a son. Now he will live out his days as a grifter, rootless, and alone. But when his mother is brutally murdered, Demir must return from exile to claim his seat at the head of the family and uncover the truth that got her killed: the very power that keeps civilization turning, godglass, is running out.
Now, Demir must find allies, old friends and rivals alike, confront the powerful guild-families who are only interested in making the most of the scraps left at the table and uncover the invisible hand that threatens the Empire. A war is coming, a war unlike any other. And Demir and his ragtag group of outcasts are the only thing that stands in the way of the end of life as the world knows it.
I’m approximately a third of the way through the book, and I like it a lot so far. The world feels gritty and the magic system is fascinating. I almost always enjoy stories where the magic is a natural resource that is running out, and this one is no exception. There’s plenty of murder, mystery, and political maneuvering alongside the intensifying warfare that has gripped the empire and its neighboring city-state. The characters are all complex with interesting backgrounds and personalities that are slowly being uncovered layer by layer as the story progresses. Overall, the setup in the first third of the book has been great, and I’m really looking forward to what will hopefully be an epic payoff in the end.
ARC Review – The Prince of Magic and Lies
June 19, 2022 biblionerdreflections1 Comment
Hello, everyone! Today I’m reviewing The Prince of Magic and Lies by Elizabeth S. Trafalgar. It has been forever since I’ve reviewed a book from BookSirens, and even though I have some mixed feelings about this one, I’m glad I picked it up.
My Favorite LGBT+ Books Since Last Year’s Pride
I really enjoy reading, reviewing, and spotlighting mostly queer books during Pride. However, I also read a ton of LGBT+ books throughout the year. In today’s post, I wanted to highlight my favorite books with LGBT+ characters that I’ve read this past year since the last Pride month. These were all five star books for me, and I loved each and every one of them. There’s a wide range of genres represented here with the intention that the list will hopefully have something for everyone. Initially, this was going to be a list of five, but I couldn’t narrow it down even close to that number. So, instead you get my 15 favorite LGBT+ books/series that I’ve read since last year’s Pride.
Mid-Month NetGalley Check-In – June 2022
I’ve once again made some progress in the last month. I read and reviewed eight books, and I’ve been approved for nine new books in the last month. You can see where I was last month in my most recent check-in post. My feedback ratio thankfully managed to climb another two percent to 72%. I’ve completed 62 ARC reviews out of the total 86 for which I have been approved. I’m excited that I am still managing to keep my percentage at 70% or above, and I’m going to do my best to keep it there while I work to reach the coveted 80% threshold. I now have 24 books available to review on my shelf, which is a slight increase from where I was this time last month. Many of the books I’ve recently gotten have been sequels of books I haven’t read. So, I’ll be starting a lot of new series/duologies in the near future, which I’m pretty excited about while also finding the shear number of books I need to read a bit daunting.

ARC Mini Review – This Wicked Fate

Hello, everyone! Today I’m reviewing This Wicked Fate by Kalynn Bayron. I wasn’t sure I wanted to read this sequel because I didn’t really love the first book, but I’m glad I gave it a shot.
Spell the Month in Books – June 2022
Hello, everyone! I have seen this challenge floating around and have been wanting to participate for a while. So, I decided to jump in and do it this month. I’m not a huge fan of the theme for this month because I don’t really read classic books all that often. Instead of doing the theme (favorite classics), I’ve decided to spell the month using books from my TBR that have LGBT+ main characters, in honor of Pride month. The challenge and linkup are hosted by Jana at Reviews From the Stacks.

Nonfiction Mini Reviews – Bi: The Hidden Culture, History, and Science of Bisexuality / This Book Is Gay
Hello, everyone! Today I’m reviewing two recent nonfiction reads, This Book Is Gay and Bi. One of my goals for this year was to read more nonfiction. So, I’m excited to have added these two books to the read pile. Bi is also the oldest eARC on my NetGalley shelf, and finally reading it made me really happy. 🙂 Without further ado, here are the books! | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1869 | {"url":

This field of baby blue eyes shows the scorched area of the Chalk Fire. That is Cone Peak in the background.
These are the baby blue eyes, a little closer up. I have one more hillside of baby blues to add to this post later tonight, if possible.

Incident near River Inn & Andrew Molera Saturday
Ever since I heard about the incident yesterday in the Valley, I have been trying to confirm what I had heard. There has been a dearth of information about it from the local news media, and all I could get was information from my local sources, which was surprisingly accurate.
Finally, this afternoon, KION, channel 46 in Salinas provided information it obtained from the MCSO. Here is a part of that story:
“According to sheriff’s investigators, two drivers were involved in a traffic collision near the Big Sur River Inn at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday; shortly after, county dispatchers told the deputy on scene that one of the vehicles involved was reported stolen out of Colorado Springs, Colo. The driver of the suspected vehicle then fled on foot behind the River Inn.
The deputy and a U.S. Forest Service officer ran after him, and a California Highway Patrol airplane was called to help search the hillside. Sheriff’s deputies say the man was found about 150 feet up the hillside, lying down under a tree; upon being found, investigators say he put a gun to his head and shot himself dead.”
There is not much I can say, except this man must have been desperate. I am sorry for his family, but given the rash of shootings making the news, I am very grateful that this person did not try to take others with him at the end of his journey. (He has not yet been identified.)

Rakovina Therapeutics Announces Presentation at the 6th Annual DDR-inhibitors Summit
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rakovina Therapeutics Inc. (TSX-V: RKV) (“the Company”), is pleased to announce a scientific presentation at the 6th Annual DDR Inhibitors Summit in Boston, MA.
The 6th Annual DDR Inhibitors Summit, held in Boston January 24-26, 2023, brought together academic and pharmaceutical industry researchers to share progress across the preclinical and clinical DDR inhibitor landscape. The conference aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the field across both novel and established targets, utilizing inhibitors in combination studies and improving patient selection through novel biomarkers. Conference organizers highlighted that DNA damage response (DDR) inhibition has amassed significant interest over the last decade through its potential to treat many types of tumors such as breast and colorectal cancers, and even notoriously difficult-to-treat tumors.
Professor Mads Daugaard, president & chief scientific officer of Rakovina Therapeutics Inc. presented an address intitled “Exploring a Novel Dual PARP-HDAC Inhibitor for the Treatment of Ewing Sarcoma,” in which he described the company’s research results with its novel kt-3000 series in pre-clinical models of Ewing sarcoma, a rare childhood tumor. The data demonstrated that co-inhibition of PARP and HDAC amplifies DNA damage and cytotoxicity in cancer cells. An FDA approved PARP inhibitor has previously been tested in a phase II clinical study in Ewing sarcoma where it failed to produce durable responses. Prof. Daugaard reported that Ewing sarcoma cancer cells are highly sensitive to treatment with combination PARP-HDAC inhibition exhibited by kt-3000 drug candidates.
“It was an honor to present work to the distinguished audience at today’s summit,” said Prof. Daugaard. “We look forward to continuing to share our continued progress with the medical and pharmaceutical community as we seek to advance a kt-3000 lead candidate toward human clinical trials.”
Development of Rakovina Therapeutics’ novel kt-3000 bi-functional DNA-damage response inhibitors is supported, in part, by the St. Baldrick’s Foundation Martha’s BEST Grant for All, which is aimed at developing new treatments for Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive bone and soft tissue cancer in children and young adults.

Virtual Machine Disaster Recovery
One of the single greatest features of virtual machines is how easy it is to use for disaster recovery. If you can imagine that an entire server is nothing more than a file on a hard drive, you can easily see how easy it could be to backup and restore a virtual machine. Backup can be as simple as turning off the virtual machine, copying it to another hard drive, then turning the virtual machine back on. That’s it. No magic, no smoke and mirrors, just copy it and go just like a Word or Excel file. If you need to restore it, just copy it back, find the file with the Hypervisor software, and start it right up!
Ok, so maybe it isn’t quite that easy, because depending on how much data is packed into that file it could still take hours to make the copy of the file. What if you can’t afford to turn the server off to back it up, what then? Well, making a copy of the drive is not the only way to back up your virtual server. Backing up the server is also not the only way to recover from a disaster when you are talking about virtual machines. Virtual machines can be moved between physical servers over a network with no downtime. They can also be replicated on a regular basis to another location, and those copies of the virtual server be brought online quickly in the event of a major disaster at your office. You can force a virtual server or group of servers to move to another machine while you take a physical server down for maintenance like upgrading the memory or doing an update to the hypervisor without turning the virtual servers off and interrupting service, then move them back when you finish.
Another feature of virtual machines that helps reduce the risk of a disaster is the snapshot feature. A snapshot is a picture of everything on the virtual machine as it was when the snapshot was taken that can then be rolled back to if a problem comes up. An example would be you are installing a new version of your accounting software, you reboot the server, and before Windows loads it crashes every time you try to restart. Don’t worry. All is not lost, because you took a snapshot just before you started installing the software. Just choose the last snapshot you took in the hypervisor and roll back to it. Now it is like it never happened. If you have already experienced a bad software installation, you might consider making a copy of your virtual server and testing the installation on a copy inside a hypervisor on your laptop disconnected from your network to see if there are going to be any problems, before you do the installation live. For that matter, you could just copy the virtual machine files you tested the installation to back to your live environment and not have to go through the process of installing the software again. In this way, you have completely avoided any risk of a disaster caused by the software installation.
As much as I want you to be excited about how easy and how powerful virtual machines can be in a disaster recovery plan, it is important to note that every network is different and has different needs. The more complicated your data and applications, the more complex the disaster recovery plan will be. The plan may require all your files to still be backed up daily using standard backup software from within the guest server, or SQL databases require special scripts to be run to prepare data for backup prior to the virtual machine being backed up. There are dozens of variables that could complicate the backup and recovery process implemented for a virtual machine, and that is why it is important to work with your IT staff or a knowledgeable consultant you trust to develop and test your backup plan.
The Latest Facebook Scam
Facebook is a fantastic resource for collaboration, reconnecting with old friends, meeting new people, and discovering products and services from around the web that have a presence on Facebook. With all this new- found “connectedness” come many new ways for unscrupulous individuals to try and take advantage of the less vigilant. The latest of these attacks comes in the form of, what is called in the security world, social engineering. Social engineering is when an attacker tries to convince you of something in order to take advantage of you. An example in the real world would be an investment scam: “‘Give me money for this great company that doesn’t exist and you can’t lose!”
On Facebook, social engineers are making copies of profile pictures and creating dummy accounts using the same name as the person whose profile picture they have copied. These individuals then turn around and begin sending friend requests to the victim’s friends. Once the victim’s friends accept the request, the attacker begins posting ads and links to all manner of sites, hoping that the trust the victim’s friends have in them will lead them to click the links they post, thereby snaring their real target, the victim’s friends. This kind of attack could not only be detrimental to those who click on the links, but could also ruin the victim’s reputation with friends, clients, and colleagues they have connected with through Facebook.
To protect yourself from these profile hijackers, it is important to understand Facebook’s privacy settings and to know who can see your posts. Facebook has a resource in their help center to help users understand and use privacy settings to protect their profiles and identities on Facebook. The privacy section of the Facebook help center can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/help/privacy. Remember to always check out the profile of someone before you add them as a friend, and if you get a friend request from someone you know you have already accepted, check with them before accepting the request. As a general rule of thumb, you should never add anyone as a friend who you don’t know personally.
Microsoft’s New Office
Microsoft Office got an upgrade in January — Office 2013. To say that Microsoft has its “head in the clouds” is an understatement. The new cloud-connected, cloud-delivered, cloud-centric Office is a testament to Microsoft’s dedication to moving to the cloud. Available right now, Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium is all about the cloud. This new Office is a subscription-based service, available to home users for $9.99/month or $99.00/year. In addition to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, the subscription gives users access to Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access. Microsoft throws in free with the subscription an extra 20GB of cloud storage on their SkyDrive service and 60 Skype world minutes a month. Because the Home Premium subscription is a site license, you can install office on up to 5 PCs or Macs.
What makes this new version of Office so “in the cloud?” All of the documents you create default to being stored on your SkyDrive in the cloud. The latest updates to the applications, which are expected to roll out several times a year now, are available for subscribers to install as soon as they are released, so you always have the latest version. Not using one of the 5 computers covered by the subscription? Don’t worry! All of the Microsoft Office apps can be “streamed” to the computer you are using, and when you are done automatically removed, leaving almost no trace of their ever being on the system. You can also choose to use more fully-featured Office web apps directly in your browser. There are a lot of features missing from the web apps; however, new features are being added and updated all the time, allowing you to work fully in the cloud.
Also available is a subscription for college and university students, faculty, and staff. The subscription is only $79.99 for 4 years of use and allows you to install the applications on 2 PCs or Macs. Besides these 2 differences, the University subscription has the same features as the Home Premium subscription.
Students and home users are not the only ones to get a new Office subscription service. On February 27, the Office Small Business Premium subscription will be made available. This subscription gives users access to several apps and services not available to the home and educational users. Small Business Premium adds Microsoft Lync and InfoPath, as well as video conferencing, online document sharing, shared calendars, 25GB of email storage, 10GB of shared document storage, and 500MB of personal storage per user. The Small Business Premium Subscription also differs from the Home and University subscriptions in that it is a per user subscription, so for each user in your business it will cost either $12.50 per month or $149.99 annually per user.
Not interested in jumping on one of Microsoft’s new subscriptions? Microsoft has also released perpetual license versions of their Office suites and individual applications. These perpetual licenses are what we are used to seeing and buying preinstalled on our computers; however, they do not benefit from many of the extra cloud features or services associated with the new subscriptions. My guess is that over a relatively short period of time, Microsoft will begin retiring these perpetual licenses and in a few years the only choice will be one of their cloud subscriptions for Office. Personally, I think this is the way to go though I do look to Microsoft to reduce the cost of the Home Premium subscription just a little more before it becomes as attractive to home users as this model is to large corporations.
The Apple-Powered Family
I am a stalwart PC user. I know and love the Windows operating system, but over the last few years my family, like many others, has become more and more dependent on our Apple iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, and iPods). Our used iPhones have become iPods for our kids, and we have an iPad the entire family shares. In what seems like the blink of an eye, my family has become Apple-powered, and my wife and I were unprepared. My wife asked me the other day, “How can we manage how the kids are using the internet and apps on our devices and keep them safe?” My response was, “Let me find out.” I have done my research and now I would like to share the fruits of my labor with you.
The first thing that you need to decide is who needs an Apple ID. Apple IDs are used to log you in to do all things Apple: buy/download apps, purchase music and movies from iTunes, and use iCloud. For my wife and I, it was easy – she and I each needed an ID. We figured that since our children are very young, they don’t yet need the level of independence an Apple ID would give them in the Apple world of “stuff.” We use our Apple IDs to keep our devices backed-up in the cloud and to distinguish who is who in our shared iCloud Calendars. This is a great feature for an Apple-powered family. Create a calendar in iCloud and share it with the entire family to keep track of everyone’s schedules. When someone updates the calendar, it shows up on every device instantly.
Calendars aren’t the only thing we can share. We use cloud services like Skydrive to share files and documents, with iOS 6 we share photo streams from our devices over iCloud, and we share our music and movies using iTunes. I found that built right into iTunes are features that allow me to share all of the music and movies I have on my computer with all of the other computers and devices I have in the house. I don’t have to buy that “Party Rock” song 5 times for everyone to listen to it. Apple has 2 ways of sharing your digital media on your home network: iTunes sharing and Home Sharing. Turning on iTunes sharing allows up to 5 computers on your network to watch or listen to any music or videos in your iTunes library. The only hitch is that you can’t take the file with you. Home sharing is a little different. When you enable Home Sharing, streaming movies is extended to your iOS devices and to Apple TV. You can also copy between computers, great for taking that new movie or playlist on a trip, using your laptop. You will also be able to copy media imported from a home share to your iOS device and take it with you. The iOS devices don’t seem to count against your authorized computer count.
Now let’s talk about the kids. iTunes and iOS devices have some very handy parental control features. Parental controls on your computer can be found on the Parental tab under preferences in iTunes and under Restrictions on the General page of the Settings app on an iOS device. In iTunes, you can disable access to things like the store and iTunes Radio. You can restrict access to apps, music, and movies based on content ratings and lock it all up with a password so kids can’t change the settings. iOS devices allow you to hide apps you don’t want kids to have access to, in addition to the same types of content restrictions as iTunes. You can disable in-app purchases or disable access to the store all together. These are just a few of the settings available to make iTunes and iOS devices safer for your kids. If you have created Apple IDs for your kids but don’t want to give them unlimited access to your credit card to buy apps and music, you can use the iTunes Store Allowance to purchase apps and media. At any time, you can go back and change the monthly amount, suspend, or cancel the allowance. The one place that iOS devices seem to have fallen short in the parental control department is safe web browsing. For $3.99 from the app store, the Kid Safe browser app has the solution with all the safe web browsing features you could ever want.
Apple devices empower people to do things they never did before and now, as families get more ingrained in the Apple ecosystem of devices and content, Apple has empowered families to share, learn, entertain, and be entertained in a new way. Many people think that electronic devices are pulling people further apart, but with the right know-how families can learn and play and learn to play together in a new way that works with our digital age and do it safely.

John Hall and J.D. Smith Announce New Book, “100 Questions Black People Should Ask Themselves”
African Americans have a number of challenges that threaten their existence. With this new book, people can begin to ask serious questions that will usher in a new age of financial security.
Book cover and the authors, John Hall and J.D. Smith
Las Vegas, NV — African Americans have struggled with issues of upward economic mobility, violence and mass incarceration for decades. The time has come to start asking the right questions to find permanent solutions to the troubles facing people of color.
Authors John Hall and J.D. Smith are doing something about the situation in their new book titled 100 Questions Black People Should Ask Themselves. The purpose of the book is to trigger conversations among African Americans about dealing with the major issues they face.
It’s a well-written book from two experienced people, who understand the importance of inspiration. Their message helps build a sense of empowerment and increased determination for positive change. The book is available on Amazon as a Kindle eBook and Paperback.
African Americans need to begin talking seriously about the issues facing them. One of the biggest challenges is the economic issue. Black households have only one-tenth the net worth of white households and the gap is growing. By 2053, the average net worth of black Americans is expected to be $0. If things don’t improve, the future prosperity of black Americans is at stake.
100 Questions Black People Should Ask Themselves is a book that asks pointed and thought-provoking questions that are well worth reflection and consideration. It shows that change starts from within, and there is a need to begin to transform situations in order to make things better for the future. It asks questions on empowerment, honesty, and the African American’s ability to create a world they want to be in, instead of begging for acceptance to be in the world of other people. No one will solve these problems for African Americans except themselves so, serious action has to be taken to create changes that will usher in a new age of financial security.

Weekend Outings at the Getty
With midterms just around the corner, I thought I would take advantage of this past weekend to do some off campus exploring and ended up at the Getty. The Getty is a beautiful museum right on the other side of the 405. By bus, you can get there in as little as 10 minutes! It…
(More) Los Angeles Visit
I recently returned from a five-day farewell UCLA trip. I mentioned in my last post that I went to the Getty Villa, but I got to do so much more fun stuff after that! This included more museums; one really isn’t enough. I’ve already been to both LACMA and the Getty, but I’m always in the…
College Nights!
It’s that time. It’s spring quarter. It’s college night time. Every year, both the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Getty Center throw huge-o parties, creatively titled “College Night”s because they are for college students and happen in the evening time. College nights are so so fun. There’s art, there’s fellow college students,…
The Getty, Ladies and Gentlemen
Now I know that we have mentioned the Getty before on this blog. But. It deserves more than a mention. The Getty Center is my favorite place in Los Angeles. And let me tell you why. It is gorgeous. Like just strikingly beautiful. The architecture, the view, the tram, the gardens (the gardens!). It all…
Parent’s Weekend!
This weekend is Parent’s Weekend! The best weekend of the year! (Maybe not, but I love my parents, and this weekend is the first time I get to see them, ok?)

Digital Transformation: A Tale of Two Resilient Nonprofits
May 4, 2020 | 5 min Read
Learn how digital transformation has helped drive impact at Special Olympics New York and the National Park Foundation.
Digital transformation is, to put it simply, rethinking how our organizations operate through the use of digital technology. This includes everything from reducing manual processes through workflow automation to the ability to collaborate and thrive in remote working environments.
This is a topic near and dear to my heart –as we at Blackbaud have had the opportunity to watch countless “resilient nonprofits” use technology to reimagine their operations under social distancing guidelines and economic uncertainty.
In a recent webinar poll, the audience was evenly split when asked what digital transformation means to them. An almost equal number thought it was an industry buzzword (e.g. have never heard of it) vs. a real opportunity vs. already being engaged in plans to digitally transform their nonprofit. However, when nonprofits digitize their processes, find efficiencies and gain insight from their data, the increased impact on their missions is noticeable.
Throughout our sector, each and every nonprofit is in a different place when it comes to using digital technologies and foundational data. In a recent interview, I asked two very different organizations to share their digital transformation journeys to demystify the experience.
Here, I’d like to (virtually) introduce you to Raymond Polikoski, Vice President of Finance & Administration at Special Olympics New York, and Jessie Salpeter, Senior Database Manager at National Park Foundation.
Question: What started your digital transformation journey?
Ray: We had six or seven disparate data systems that made it difficult to impossible to effectively communicate with constituents and to market to them so we could grow our organization.
Jessie: Thanks to a very successful fundraising campaign, our organization tripled in size in a very short time. But our systems hadn’t caught up, and we were still functioning as a mom and pop shop with manual processes that no longer fit. Our major organizational systems weren’t taking to each other, making it challenging to connect the dots between donor gifts and the impact of those dollars on the programs donors supported. This was the perfect opportunity to evaluate our processes and technology.
Question: How will digital transformation help you to diversify revenue?
Ray: Particularly in a time like this, diversification of revenue streams is important. We want to improve our individual giving – we feel this will be key, especially over the next six to 18 months. But, to do that, we needed to be able to see who our donors are and be able to effectively communicate with them so we can pull on their heartstrings, which is so important to individual giving. With our digital transformation project, we will be able to get a message to any one of our stakeholders with a targeted call to action. It will help us build a diverse portfolio, not just financially, but also in relation to volunteers.
Jessie: The current economic situation is unpredictable, but sustaining gifts provide a foundation we can rely on every month. Digital transformation will help accelerate our monthly giving programs because all parts will be seamless. One of the pieces of our larger project is that we are moving all merchant processing to one platform (we currently use four). Eliminating manual processing and implementing an automatic credit card updater will save our internal staff time, as my team will no longer need to reach out to donor with expiring credit cards. We’re also implementing a member portal where donors can update their billing or credit card information with just a few clicks. Records.
Question: How are your mission and operations impacted by digital transformation?
Ray: We need to be able to communicate with all stakeholders differently, particularly now. How do we keep our athletes engaged when they are not competing? And, our message for summer athletes will likely be different than for winter athletes. Our volunteers are also diverse – we can’t send the same volunteer message to both coaches and board members. Having a tool that can segment our audiences and automate processes is really important to us. This will enable staff to focus on their mission and impact.
Jessie: Our main goal is to identify ways to work smarter, faster, and more efficiently. For example, manual uploads between our database of record and our old digital marketing tool were time consuming. By integrating our software, we are able to automate information between our relationship management software and marketing software. We are also working to automate the sorting of incoming email to our general inbox. We will save three to four hours a week with a workflow that identifies constituents who want to be removed from our mailing list and automatically adds them to a suppression list.
Question: How does digital transformation empower your staff?
Ray: When looking at software, we included anyone who wanted to be part of the decision-making process. We were very transparent and inclusive. When they could see the options and the possibilities, it made their “no” really difficult to give.
Jessie: The evaluation process forced our team to take a good look at our processes and ask, “why are we doing this?” We were able to get to the heart of challenges, and it has been really exciting to streamline business processes. Right now, we are focused on entering the data and making sure it is right. Once these processes are automated, we will be able to develop policies and business practices that are even stronger. Our team will have more time to focus on our donors and their overall experience with the National Park Foundation.
A resilient nonprofit is one that plans for future change – both positive and negative. Embracing technology and data with the ability to quickly adapt to changing conditions is just one characteristic of a resilient nonprofit. Your organization’s sustainability is also focused on your people, diverse revenue sources, and ability to balance organizational expenses against mission delivery and outcomes.

no theological reasons for excluding women from the priesthood
There will be women a priest «when God wills», for the moment it is better «not to raise the issue». But there is «no fundamental obstacle», from «a theological perspective», for women to say mass on the altar. It is, instead, a «tradition» that dates back from the time of Jesus. This was said by Cardinal Jose da Cruz Policarpo, seventy-five year old Patriarch of Lisbon, who has just been confirmed for another two years at the head of the diocese of the Portuguese capital.
Polycarpo released a lengthy interview to the monthly «OA», the magazine of the Portuguese Order of Attorneys. He explained that with respect to women priests «the position of the Catholic Church is very much based on the Gospel, it does not have the independence of a political party or a government. It is based on fidelity to the Gospel, to the person of Jesus and to a very strong tradition received from the Apostles».
«John Paul II – continued Polycarp – at one point seemed to settle the matter». Reference is in the Apostolic Letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis (1994), one of the shortest documents of John Paul II, with which the Pope, after the decision of the Anglican Communion to open to women priests, reaffirmed that the Catholic Church would never do so.
«I think – said Cardinal Polycarp – that the matter cannot be resolved like this. Theologically there is no fundamental obstacle (to women priests, ed.), let’s just say that there’s this tradition: it has never been done otherwise».
When asked by the interviewer, curious of the affirmation made by the cardinal that there are theological reasons against women priests, Polycarpo replied: «I think that there is no fundamental obstacle. It is a fundamental equality of all members of the Church. The problem is a strong tradition that comes from Jesus and the ease with which the Reformed churches have granted priesthood to women».
The Patriarch of Lisbon also explained that he believed the demand for women priests is a «false problem», because the same girls that pose the question, when he retorts if they would be willing to become priests, shake their head.
The statements made by the Portuguese Cardinal are intended to cause discussions. A year after the letter of John Paul II a question was in fact posed (dubium) to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, then headed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and secretary Tarcisio Bertone.
He wondered whether «the doctrine according to which the Church has no authority to confer priestly ordination on women, proposed in the Apostolic Letter Ordinatio Sacerdotalis, was to be considered permanent, to be regarded as belonging to the deposit of fait». The answer, approved by Pope John Paul II, was «yes».
The Congregation explained that «this teaching requires definitive assent, since, founded in the Word of God written and constantly preserved and applied in the Tradition of the Church from the beginning, it has been set forth infallibly by the ordinary and universal Magisterium», and therefore «must always be kept, everywhere and by all the faithful, because it belongs to the deposit of faith».

Europe’s catastrophic flooding was forecast well in advance – what went so wrong?

Leave a Comment on Europe’s catastrophic flooding was forecast well in advance – what went so wrong?
By Hannah Cloke, University of Reading
Almost 200 people dead and many others still missing. Billions of euros’ worth of damage. Communities devastated. Thousands of homes destroyed and their occupants traumatised.
I am a flood forecaster who helped to set up the forecasting system that was used to predict the recent floods in Germany and surrounding countries. I saw days in advance that they were coming. I read reports of rainfall and river levels rising. And then I watched with growing horror as the death toll surged.
The European Flood Awareness System (EFAS), which I helped to set up, is part of the EU’s Copernicus Emergency Management Service. It provides early information on flooding to national and local authorities across Europe. I work closely with people there in my role as an independent flood scientist at the University of Reading to improve and analyse EFAS data. I don’t work in the team that issues early flood information to authorities, but looking at the data with colleagues, I could see early on just how serious the floods looked.
Forecasts on Friday July 9 and Saturday 10 for the Rhine catchment, covering Germany and Switzerland, had shown a high probability of flooding that would begin on Tuesday July 13. Subsequent forecasts also showed the Meuse in Belgium would be affected. The forecasts in the following days showed that there was little doubt that a major flood was coming.
EFAS sends out bulletins of early information which are designed to be read, understood and acted on by experts. They are not directly available to the public. Public flood warnings come from the national and regional weather, environment and civil protection agencies, and EFAS information needs to be used by these authorities alongside their own forecasts.
The first EFAS bulletin was sent to the relevant national authorities on Saturday July 10. More updates continued over the following days as more precise predictions became available. Formal flood notifications were issued to authorities in Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland and Luxembourg, as well as the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) of the European Commission throughout Monday and Tuesday. As the event neared and uncertainty in the forecast shrank, the predicted start of the flooding was pushed to Wednesday for smaller rivers and Thursday for the larger downstream rivers. Around 25 individual warnings were sent out to parts of the Rhine and Meuse.

The German weather service, DWD, had independently forecast extremely high rainfall too and issued warnings for more than 200 mm of rain in the same areas several days ahead of time, saying that flooding was possible. Regional warnings were also issued, for example by the Environment Agency in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, one of the areas hit particularly hard by flooding.
The floods that did happen matched the scale and distribution of those that were forecast several days before. I was very surprised, therefore, that so many people died, given that authorities knew about the event and had sufficient warnings to get people to safety before the floods began.

Where flood warnings fail
Clearly, tragically, the whole system designed to save lives by ensuring people act on warnings before floods arrive, did not work as it should have done. It may be that individual parts of the system worked exactly as they were designed, and it is certainly true that forecasts were accurate, and there were some warnings issued through official channels. In some areas, many authorities did act in time, to evacuate people, erect temporary flood defences, and move vehicles to higher ground. But this clearly did not happen everywhere.
In the middle of an election campaign, some German leaders in national and regional government still seemed to defend the locally-devolved nature of disaster management in Germany, insisting that the warnings were adequate and agencies did their work well. It is like claiming that the maiden voyage of the Titanic was a success because 99% of its engineering worked perfectly throughout. While their arguments may be true on an individual scale, unless those in power admit that the system ultimately failed, they risk failing to learn lessons and put others at risk in the future.
Science, in large part, is about helping people see the invisible. What is the use of a perfect forecast if the people it is supposed to warn cannot see the danger they are in? Effective flood warnings require people to be able to see into the future and imagine their house full of water, to assess the likelihood of that happening, and to see the multiple paths they could take to keep them, their family, and their property safe.
I recently took part in an exercise encouraging scientists, from senior professors to school pupils, to trace the path of water in a river through time using just their imagination. Weeks later, we are seeing what happens when people cannot visualise the threat of a river ripping down their street, or a lake appearing in their house. These are the elements of flood warnings that must improve.
As climate change increases risks from heatwaves, fires and floods, we need to not only slash emissions but prepare ourselves for the problems we already have in store. Even with sufficient decarbonisation measures – which we are still yet to see from any major government – there is no avoiding the consequences of a hotter, more turbulent environment.

GHTC statement on President's budget request for FY24
GHTC's statement on US President Biden's budget request for fiscal year 2024 (FY24).
The Biden administration’s fiscal year 2024 (FY24) budget request is a mixed bag for global health research. The request includes a few bright spots, especially for global health security, but overall fails to address the significant gaps and recent setbacks for global health.For the State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the request includes increases to global health security—including to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations—but otherwise proposes cuts to bilateral HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria programs.These proposed cuts to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and tuberculosis and malaria programs at USAID are especially disappointing at a time when these programs face lingering setbacks from COVID-19.GHTC was especially disappointed that the request did not include additive funding under USAID for a new global health research and development line, a proposal supported by more than 100 global health organizations and former senior USAID officials.In the Department of Health and Human Services, GHTC was disappointed that the budget proposes flat funding to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Fogarty International Center.The Fogarty International Center trains infectious disease researchers, invests in health systems, and improves pandemic preparedness around the world. It is a best buy for global health.GHTC applauds the proposed increases to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases and Global Health Center, including to Global Public Health Protection and the Division for Parasitic Diseases and Malaria.These centers track infectious diseases globally, support the development of new technologies, and provide technical expertise to many partners in the United States and globally.In addition to an increase for the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), GHTC applauds the Biden administration for including a longstanding priority for our community: proposing a new line of funding at US$400 million for emerging infectious diseases (titled Pandemic Preparedness and Biodefense) under the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response.Nearly all BARDA’s support for emerging infectious disease (EID) medical countermeasures to date has been funded through emergency supplemental appropriations. This new line will enable the agency to be proactive, rather than reactive, to future pandemic threats.Beyond EIDs, however, GHTC is disappointed that the request deprioritizes antimicrobial resistance research, proposing $155 million in support for the Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator, or CARB-X, and the advanced development of new antimicrobial therapeutics at BARDA—$30 million less than for fiscal year 2023, despite a topline increase.GHTC urges Congress to build upon the Biden administration’s request and to pass a spending package for FY24 that recognizes how far we are from achieving our goals for global health research and development. Achieving these research milestones is critical for achieving our national and global health objectives.

GHTC Statement on the WHO Clinical Trials Resolution
GHTC's statement on the updates on last year's resolution on clinical trials from the World Health Organization Executive Board meeting.
GHTC Statement on the WHO Clinical Trials ResolutionLast year’s clinical trial resolution was a major milestone for building greater clinical trial capacity in low- and middle-income countries. However, creating a framework for standardization and implementation is still slow and ongoing. There are numerous areas where the current framework could be improved. Member states have highlighted that there continues to be inadequate reporting of data disaggregated by sex and gender relating to the World Health Organization's (WHO’s) priority pathogens, such as those for neglected tropical diseases and in WHO’s R&D Blueprint, as well as for new antibiotics for highly-resistant pathogens. Actions are needed to fill these gaps in the global evidence base, as well as for strengthening inclusiveness. Greater coordination is also needed to ensure efficacy and alignment with other clinical trial capacity-strengthening mechanisms, including the Global Health Security Agenda, and investments driven through international financial institutions, including the new Pandemic Fund. There is also a need for domestic resource mobilization, and other sustainable financing mechanisms should also support capacity-building initiatives. We, therefore, urge members and WHO to consider the following recommendations to build upon the work started last year:Improve international collaboration and coordination among member states on key research priorities and multiregional clinical trials, where appropriate. At present, effective coordination mechanisms are lacking for clinical trials, and funding for clinical trials across all WHO regions and disease areas is insufficient. Furthermore, improved coordination around global research agendas could enable more timely capacity-building of clinical trial sites.Support new trial modalities such as decentralized and paperless clinical trials that incorporate patient perspectives, mobile technologies and telemedicine, and increased use of adaptive, multicountry platform trials.Invest in building regulatory capacity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including further building off of progress to date across the African Medicines Regulatory Harmonization programme and supporting the launch of the African Medicines Agency. Continued investment in regulatory strengthening will be critical to expanding clinical trial capacity in LMICs. Increase investment in workforce capacity and research institute infrastructure in LMICs. Additional investment is critical to sustainably build the capacity of LMICs to execute their own research agendas.Address gaps in data on specific population groups and disease targets and gender biases in data. Biases may result in these groups being precluded from the development of, and access to, needed interventions. This includes, but is not restricted to, pediatric data and data from pregnant and breastfeeding people.Support the Global Accelerator for Paediatric Formulations and the WHO International Clinical Trial Registry Platform through data sharing and technical support, as these platforms will be crucial for providing and streamlining the clinical evidence base necessary for policymakers to understand the current clinical trial landscape and its current gaps. There is also an urgent need to overcome the challenges in clinical trials for children and support platforms such as the Global Accelerator for Paediatric Formulations to strengthen partnerships to overcome these barriers.
GHTC Statement on the WHO Diagnostics Resolution
GHTC's statement on the World Health Organization's resolution on diagnostics from the 2023 Executive Board meeting.
GHTC Statement on the WHO Diagnostics ResolutionThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the centrality of access to diagnostics as a key component of detecting and controlling emerging infectious diseases. Early issues in developing accurate tests hampered the understanding of, and response to, the initial stages of the COVID-19 outbreak. This is the case for a broader range of health areas, including poverty-related neglected diseases.Simply put, medicine cannot respond effectively without diagnostics. Yet despite diagnostics being an integral pillar to quality health care, a recent study from The Lancet highlighted that 47 percent of the global population has little to no access to diagnostics.This resolution on diagnostics is a good first step in acknowledging and addressing the gap in political prioritization, and we urge the World Health Organization (WHO) and member states to consider the following: Push for a special advisor to serve as a senior central point of contact at WHO for diagnostics to ensure internal alignment and push for greater strategic prioritization through a potential “International Diagnostics Alliance.” Likewise, the resolution should reaffirm the essential role played by civil society in defining, developing, and deploying better diagnostics. Include provisions in the resolution to build, strengthen, and enforce national and regional regulatory frameworks covering the market for diagnostics and the registration, accreditation, and oversight of laboratories. Coordinate national regulations concerning medical devices, and streamline and improve the WHO prequalification process to ensure greater access to diagnostics in lower- and middle-income countries. Mechanisms like collaborative registration should be strengthened to expedite the registration of new diagnostics in countries.Promote local and regional research and development, manufacturing, and distribution capacities for diagnostics. Prioritize investment in the procurement of diagnostics for all health areas, in particular recognizing that significant gaps remain for poverty-related and neglected diseases. Funding for diagnostic procurement remains significantly underfunded, and improved coordination across stakeholders—including donors and procurement mechanisms—is needed to fill gaps and ensure populations, particularly those in low- and middle-income countries, have access to critical diagnostics.

Despite hard-won advocacy victories by GHTC and the global health advocacy community, neglected diseases are living up to their moniker from a funding standpoint, as global investment in HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), malaria, and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remains far below levels required to overcome these persistent and devastating health threats. The new report highlights several new and ongoing funding trends. GHTC has identified three findings of particular importance to the global health research community.Funding for NTDs dropped precipitously; funding shortfalls for HIV/AIDS, malaria, and TB persist.Funding for NTDs included within the G-FINDER scope decreased by 10 percent in 2021, falling to their lowest total since 2009. NTDs impact more than a billion people each year, disproportionately afflicting women and children. The reduction in funding is particularly alarming given that many of the targets set in the WHO roadmap on NTDs (2012-2020) have not been met. Outside of NTDs, funding for malaria saw a substantial 5.7 percent dip, HIV/AIDS investment experienced a modest uptick of 2.7 percent, and TB funding remained virtually flat, dipping less than a tenth of a percent. While these three diseases receive more resources than NTDs, their funding levels are significantly below that which is needed to overcome these health crises and reach global health and development targets, like the Sustainable Development Goals.Funding for Product Development Partnerships (PDPs) declined for the fourth consecutive year.PDPs are the leading engines of medical innovation for diseases that lack sufficient commercial market incentives. Thus, it is distressing to see that neglected disease R&D funding for PDPs fell by 18 percent in 2021, continuing a multiyear backslide. Current PDP funding sits 40 percent below its peak, which was 13 G-FINDER cycles ago. The most recent dip was driven by reduced investment from large donors like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, and the US Agency for International Development (USAID). These findings also highlight the need to further diversify funding sources for PDPs, as well as global health R&D more broadly. Specifically on the US government funding front, PDP funding was not the only area in which USAID funding declined. Neglected disease R&D funding from the agency reached a record low, further highlighting the need for additional mechanisms within USAID to facilitate supporting medical innovations for unmet needs. During the virtual launch event for the report, keynote speaker Dr. Peter Hotez noted the vital role that US agencies like USAID and the US National Institutes for Health play in the global health R&D ecosystem.Funding for platform technologies and non-disease-specific investment is on the rise. For the seventh consecutive year, funding for non-disease specific (NDS) R&D increased, rising by 5.6 percent. Specifically, investment in platform technologies grew for the fourth consecutive year and now accounts for 22 percent of NDS funding. Much of the past year’s growth was buoyed by an increase in drug-related platform technologies, which historically received the smallest share of funding. This trend dovetails with a larger shift of investments toward drugs, as overall drug R&D funding eclipsed vaccine R&D funding for the first time in 2021.Overall, the global health advocacy community has made incredible strides in protecting and growing funding for global health innovation. This past year in the United States, GHTC helped support the passage of a global health research-friendly fiscal year 2023 omnibus package, which included significant funding increases across nearly every line relevant to global health R&D, as well as complimentary directives that will support global health R&D across several agencies. However, the challenges of competing global interests and tough funding environments are formidable, as shown by the G-FINDER report. This coming year presents a number of strong opportunities to elevate attention and support for resources for global health innovation, including United Nations High-Level Meetings on TB and universal health coverage. We urge leaders around the world to step up and invest in lifesaving global health R&D, and our advocacy community partners to continue to hold the world accountable for ensuring health and health equity for all. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1878 | {"url": "https://blog.ghtcoalition.org/news?prop_ModuleId=1534&prop_ParentId=2343&prop_ItemTags=Announcement", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "blog.ghtcoalition.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:37:23Z", "digest": "sha1:UZP5RO5PSBU4KMF3OVBE2KSISTCZLFR3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 14656, 14656.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 14656, 16213.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 14656, 17.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 14656, 103.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 14656, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 14656, 312.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 14656, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 14656, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 14656, 1.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 14656, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 14656, 0.31853048]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 14656, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 14656, 0.01676842]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 14656, 0.07610908]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 14656, 0.05193325]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 14656, 0.03508344]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 14656, 0.03109483]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 14656, 0.01676842]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 14656, 0.02539683]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 14656, 0.00854701]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 14656, 0.00586081]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 14656, 0.05006056]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 14656, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 14656, 0.13564796]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 14656, 0.3653012]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 14656, 5.92048193]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 14656, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 14656, 5.72070966]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 14656, 2075.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 37, 0.0], [37, 67, 0.0], [67, 121, 0.0], [121, 206, 1.0], [206, 3423, 1.0], [3423, 3428, 0.0], [3428, 3481, 0.0], [3481, 3618, 1.0], [3618, 7109, 1.0], [7109, 7158, 0.0], [7158, 7275, 1.0], [7275, 9699, 1.0], [9699, 9720, 0.0], [9720, 9855, 0.0], [9855, 9952, 1.0], [9952, 14656, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 37, 0.0], [37, 67, 0.0], [67, 121, 0.0], [121, 206, 0.0], [206, 3423, 0.0], [3423, 3428, 0.0], [3428, 3481, 0.0], [3481, 3618, 0.0], [3618, 7109, 0.0], [7109, 7158, 0.0], [7158, 7275, 0.0], [7275, 9699, 0.0], [9699, 9720, 0.0], [9720, 9855, 0.0], [9855, 9952, 0.0], [9952, 14656, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 19, 2.0], [19, 37, 2.0], [37, 67, 4.0], [67, 121, 8.0], [121, 206, 13.0], [206, 3423, 449.0], [3423, 3428, 1.0], [3428, 3481, 8.0], [3481, 3618, 20.0], [3618, 7109, 478.0], [7109, 7158, 7.0], [7158, 7275, 16.0], [7275, 9699, 326.0], [9699, 9720, 2.0], [9720, 9855, 20.0], [9855, 9952, 15.0], [9952, 14656, 704.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 37, 0.0], [37, 67, 0.0], [67, 121, 0.03846154], [121, 206, 0.07594937], [206, 3423, 0.00790639], [3423, 3428, 0.0], [3428, 3481, 0.0], [3481, 3618, 0.0], [3618, 7109, 0.0], [7109, 7158, 0.0], [7158, 7275, 0.03539823], [7275, 9699, 0.00252207], [9699, 9720, 0.0], [9720, 9855, 0.03053435], [9855, 9952, 0.04301075], [9952, 14656, 0.01134133]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 37, 0.0], [37, 67, 0.0], [67, 121, 0.0], [121, 206, 0.0], [206, 3423, 0.0], [3423, 3428, 0.0], [3428, 3481, 0.0], [3481, 3618, 0.0], [3618, 7109, 0.0], [7109, 7158, 0.0], [7158, 7275, 0.0], [7275, 9699, 0.0], [9699, 9720, 0.0], [9720, 9855, 0.0], [9855, 9952, 0.0], [9952, 14656, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.10526316], [19, 37, 0.11111111], [37, 67, 0.16666667], [67, 121, 0.12962963], [121, 206, 0.11764706], [206, 3423, 0.05533105], [3423, 3428, 0.8], [3428, 3481, 0.20754717], [3481, 3618, 0.06569343], [3618, 7109, 0.02721283], [7109, 7158, 0.20408163], [7158, 7275, 0.07692308], [7275, 9699, 0.0210396], [9699, 9720, 0.28571429], [9720, 9855, 0.0962963], [9855, 9952, 0.18556701], [9952, 14656, 0.05059524]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 14656, 0.28546065]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 14656, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 14656, 0.83502346]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 14656, -771.466051]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 14656, 77.81140729]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 14656, 36.49819979]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 14656, 86.0]]} |
The 20-year Legacy of 1999 Films: An Interview with Brian Raftery
By Naomi Elias 05/18/2019 05/17/2019
How do you measure a year? For Brian Raftery, a former senior writer at Wired, the best way to take stock of 1999 is by reviewing its movie releases. His new book, Best.Movie.Year.Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up The Big Screen (Simon & Schuster) is a film lover’s dream: a journalistic breakdown of the artistic impulses and sociopolitical climate that generated cinema’s most-beloved movies that’s also brimming with juicy behind-the-scenes anecdotes culled from over a hundred original interviews with the tastemakers of that year (think Fincher, Shyamalan, Coppola). In 1999 film audiences were introduced to the first digitally created lead character (Jar Jar Binks), asked to consider the inexplicable beauty of a plastic bag floating through the wind, and watch Hollywood’s then-biggest star, Tom Cruise, attend an orgy in Stanley Kubrick’s final film. “1999 was a four-quadrant year,” Raftery explains in the book, “it had something for everyone.” The movies released in 1999 are among the most-revered in movie history as evidenced by a host of catchphrases — “you don’t talk about fight club,” “I see dead people” — and iconic movie props — the coke rosary, the red stapler — that are inescapable cultural touchstones twenty years later. Best.Movie.Year.Ever benefits from Raftery’s twenty years of reporting experience for sites like Entertainment Weekly, GQ, and Rolling Stone. With the thoroughness of a film-geek-cum-journalist and an ear for prose, Raftery condenses a magical year in film into one massively entertaining book.
Last month, I spoke with Raftery over the phone about the book and all things 1999.
NAOMI ELIAS: What’s the origin story for this book?
BRIAN RAFTERY: A couple of years ago I started thinking about Y2K and I thought about trying to do a book about people who had believed in Y2K and disappeared and then I decided that was not a good idea for a book so I wrote a book proposal for a very different 1999 book that would’ve been about twelve different events; Columbine, the Clinton-Lewinsky acquittal, the women’s soccer team winning, the Sopranos, and then some of these movies. Then, out of the blue, Sean Manning, an editor at Simon & Schuster whom I’d never met before, wrote me and asked, “Would you ever want to write a book about the movies of 1999?” He convinced me that everything I wanted to write about the late nineties I could fit by using the movies as sort of a big picture.
Can you talk about how the specter of Y2K and the coming internet age informed the films released in that final year of the 20th century?
The process of making a movie takes years and years and some of the movies from 1999 like Being John Malkovich and Boys Don’t Cry had been in development at least since the mid-nineties, so it wasn’t as though all these filmmakers were consciously saying hey this deadline is coming up let’s make movies where we address the anxiety we have right now about the world, but I really think there was something subconscious going on in the culture at that time. Being John Malkovich to me feels like a film that predicts the way we create new lives online or the way identities can be hijacked, and then Fight Club, with the space monkey army Tyler Durden builds up, I think of when Anonymous was really taking off in the mid-aughts and starting these decentralized acts of mischief — that reminded me a lot of Fight Club. The Matrix too. The Matrix never has the word “internet” in it, but it’s about hacking culture. To me that was an explosion of ideas about where the technology could take us and was already taking us in ways we didn’t realize. Some saw it as a celebration of the digital future and others, such as myself, saw it as a dire warning. All of those movies were fed in some way by Y2K. Technology loomed large over all these movies.
Did any of your interviewees express surprise at your book’s premise or was there a consensus that this year was special?
It was actually easy to get people for this book. I think part of it is because they do realize it was a special year. When I would email publicists — literally thousands of emails over a year and a half period — I would always make sure I included a list of the movies so they would understand this was a bigger project and a bigger year than they realized. That year is so locked in people’s minds, especially people who are Gen X or older. You remember where you were in 1999 for two reasons: one is because you were aware the millennium was coming, but also anything before 9/11 people have frozen in their memory. I think that’s why there’s a lot of nineties nostalgia now. Even though that decade was very flawed and had a lot of social problems that we were not dealing with, by comparison it seems a little bit sunnier, so I think people were happy to go back into that year. I know when I talked to Kirsten Dunst and she was looking at the list of movies she said, “Wow, this is crazy,” as the list keeps going. That’s the fun for people when I was talking to them for the book; we would start off talking about their movie but then inevitably we’d start talking about Election or The Matrix or where they were when they saw Fight Club. There’s a lot of fondness, not just for these movies but for the period in which they were released.
In addition to chapters, your book also divides 1999 by its four seasons. Each seasonal preface begins with stream-of-consciousness-style excerpts from news items of that time — Monica Lewinsky giving a deposition about the Clinton scandal, the introduction of the euro, the debut of Britney Spears’ first single, Putin becoming president — why was adding that social context important to you?
In the first draft of the book I was really trying to weave all those things in and it was making the book very long. I don’t think people really need a history lesson every two paragraphs, but I wanted people who were alive in that time to remember what was going on and what was swirling in the air in 1999 as these movies were arriving. I wanted to recreate the experience of looking at the newspaper or watching CNN right before you headed into a theater that night, what the background noise was of 1999. I also wanted people who weren’t alive then or weren’t conscious of it to understand the context in which these movies were released because it’s very hard to talk about The Matrix without talking about Columbine — and vice versa in a lot of ways — and I do think those events were feeding one another.
You spend a considerable amount of time detailing how film changed post-Columbine. What is the biggest way that tragedy impacted the filmmaking of that era?
It’s one of those things where, like a lot of cultural changes, it’s kind of slow and you don’t notice it until later. The teen movie boom really peaked in 1999, and maybe a little bit in 2000, and it started to wind down a bit after that. I don’t know if that’s entirely because of Columbine — I think the economic factors always come first, but I do think Columbine did change the way we viewed high schoolers and maybe the way American high schools were viewed around the world. What’s interesting about those teen movies that year is that they were all made in 1998 or a little bit in ’99, so they all happened before Columbine. I think it freezes what teenage life was like before Columbine and before American high schools started adapting backpack checks and metal detectors and this whole — maybe “freedom” is the word? — that American high schools felt they lost for a while in the early aughts.
Also that year there was a lot of panic in the industry about what you could do with young people in a movie. A lot of films were pulling things out or reconsidering what they were going to show right after Columbine. Fight Club was definitely moved down the release calendar because they didn’t want it to be too close to Columbine.
You mention in the book there was tension between Washington D.C. and Hollywood because of that.
Yes, especially with Fight Club, Bill Mechanic of Fox had some people go to Washington to try to contextualize the movie. For the next several years Hollywood spent a lot of time being scrutinized by the government. There was tension between D.C. and Hollywood that was scary for people in Hollywood at the time. They were used to getting an easy pass from politicians in the nineties. Clinton was one of the most pro-Hollywood presidents of the late 20th century; he loved movies, he loved movie stars, he spent probably way too much time watching movies, but even he gave this speech where he really wanted movie theater owners to card teenagers, as impossible as that is to enforce. I think people in Hollywood thought people in D.C. were being hysterical and hypocritical, but I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with looking at how violence affects the culture and questioning what age is appropriate to have that violence play out in front of people.
One of the narrative through lines your book points out is that movies in 1999 (Fight Club, American Beauty, Office Space) were deeply invested in stories about “a particularly navel-gazing sense of white-male malaise.” How much of that do you think was a response to the zeitgeist and how much was a product of the gender imbalance in the directing pool?
It’s absolutely both. Had you asked me twenty years ago I would’ve said the former, I think. Now I think the latter. One thing about that year is that even though you did have someone like Kimberly Peirce making movies and other female filmmakers like Sofia Coppola, when the studios are run by white guys, when the directors and writers are mostly all white guys, and when they’re trying to bring white guys to the audience, you’re going to get a lot of movies about the troubles of being a white guy. That is the story of Hollywood. The gender imbalance we have now wasn’t any better twenty years ago. Hollywood is weird. So, it is almost certainly a factor of the gender imbalance that was going on there. I also think the Clinton generation and Gen X were both very enamored with the mythos of the powerful troubled white guy in middle age — or the young white guy, whether its Troy in Reality Bites or Lester in American Beauty. Those are the kinds of stories people liked to tell in the nineties, or at least they liked to make. White guys steered the culture back then, and probably to the detriment of the culture in some ways. I also don’t know whether it’s just a Boomer thing — a lot of the filmmakers that year were Boomers or older Gen Xers. The Clinton era was a big period for them to reevaluate their lives and their importance.
There’s a great quote from John Cho in the book where he says, “If The Matrix and Being John Malkovich were being pitched today, they’d be pitched as TV shows.” What is the filmmaking of today lacking that was in abundance in 1999?
First of all, thank God for John Cho. I talked to him for an hour and twenty minutes and only used five or six quotes because we talked about so much. He’s right. I do think they’d be pitched as [TV shows]. I interviewed John Cho, what, a year and a half ago? It’s a little different now. I thought last year and 2017 were extraordinarily good years for original movies: Get Out and Ladybird were two of my favorite movies of the last ten years, both from relatively young filmmakers who are clearly going to be making ten to twenty more movies in their careers. When I see those kinds of original stories I think I shouldn’t be so worried about where Hollywood’s going. Last year there was Shoplifters and Burning and Leave No Trace and First Reformed. There were a lot of good movies that stuck with me for a long time.
The problem is the kind of movies that were being made in 1999 really can’t be made in the modern studio system. You can only make a movie now if it’s $5 million or $305 million — it’s really hard to find those movies that are at a lower budget. Even Us had a relatively low budget compared to what they spent on something like The Matrix. It’s very hard for big studios to feel comfortable greenlighting a pricey original story. They need to know that people will show up, and in order to know that people will show up you used to just need a big star. You could put Brad Pitt in something and be relatively comfortable that people would show up even for one or two weekends. I don’t think the stars have quite that much power anymore, so you have these franchises. But the talent’s there, the filmmaking talent is there.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of these films. What is the legacy of that year in film?
The legacy is still being felt. New York Magazine just did a cover story about the legacy of The Matrix. I don’t think these movies ever went away. I think all the major ideas in The Matrix, whether its red pilling or the idea of machines controlling our lives, still feel like they’re part of the conversation. The Matrix has been a meme for twenty years now. Someone always thinks they’re the first person to post a Morpheus GIF. The legacy of that year might be the fact that when you get creators from different generations and different backgrounds — from indie film, from the 1960s, from MTV, from making commercials, from making documentaries — when you have that kind of creative pile-on and you can get funding from the studios it can be really satisfying. That might be what TV has been in the last couple years.
Certainly there’s way too much TV now, but you’re seeing a lot of exciting people now working in TV, some of whom are from 1999: David Fincher does Mindhunter, Kimberly Peirce does TV, Soderbergh did The Knick. The legacy of that year might be in television. A lot of people who make TV now who aren’t filmmakers, the 1999 movies were big movies for them. When Mr. Robot premiered I thought, “this feels a little bit like The Matrix, it feels a little bit like The Insider.” I felt like I was seeing a late 1990s influence. I’ve never interviewed Sam Esmail, so I have no idea if that’s the case or not, but I certainly think you can make some connection between what’s going on in the movies in 1999 and what’s going on in TV now. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1879 | {"url": "https://blog.lareviewofbooks.org/interviews/20-year-legacy-1999-films-interview-brian-raftery/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en",

Prints That Win: On Fire
Orlando, Fla. photographer Gary Shaver has no shortage of beautiful scenery surrounding him, but with so much beauty, it takes a keen eye to catch what some may miss. As part of the Orlando Camera Club, Gary and the group often go on “shoot-outs” to local hot spots like Disney’s Animal Kingdom or Bok Tower to practice, learn and teach in a group setting.
While on one of these shoot-outs, as Shaver was teaching other members of the club some tips and tricks about photographing flowers, that he noticed a bloom about three-quarters of the way opened. “Once I lined up the shot, I realized there was a full bloom in the background that created a fiery halo around my partial bloom,” said Shaver. “Then it was a matter of using the deflector and diffuser and adding a little texture during editing.” The result was his Sunset Award-winning shot “On Fire.”
He may be sharing his ideas and techniques with fellow photographers now, but Shaver’s path to the world of photography wasn’t a conventional one. Realizing he was approaching retirement and would soon be leaving the corporate world behind, he decided to look for a way to unleash his creative side. He thought about being an artist, but wasn’t sure if drawing or painting was really his style. Twelve years ago, he picked up a graphic tablet and learned how to artistically edit his photos, and the rest is history.
The use of textures and the illusion of paint that make Shaver’s photographs recognizable would normally indicate a strong influence of similar artists, but for this self-taught photographer, that is not the case. “I really love to see other photographer’s work on social media, there is so much talent out there, when I see something interesting, it reminds me that I can play around with exposure times or the tablet to really get a different feel from my original image,” says Shaver.
While experimenting with textures and exposure times can help shape a style, it is in competitions where Shaver truly hones his skill. “Putting my work in front of judges for them to critique is scary. Sometimes the feedback is tough, but it pushes me to learn and improve, taking me beyond my boundaries and allowing me to branch out. I feel like the only way I can grow as a photographer is to get that feedback,” he says.
If he is in his studio creating art out of photographs or on a “shoot-out,” helping other photographers perfect their craft, Gary Shaver is living the artistic life that he envisioned over a decade ago. One thing that he’s learned over the years is to explore the limits of your comfort zone. As he puts it, “branch out, do different competitions, take creative photos, listen to the feedback, and push yourself.”

AWESOME-tober-fest 2014: Ad for Stuart Gordon’s The Pit and the Pendulum (1991)
This week is going to be Stuart Gordon Week. When you find out Friday’s movie review, you’ll see why. Stuart Gordon is a prolific 80s-90s director probably most famous for directing The Re-animator, but he’s also directed several other cult horror favorites. One of which I’ll talk about more tomorrow.
Today, I’m showing you a 1991 home video ad for Gordon’s The Pit and the Pendulum (1991) starring Lance Henriksen, Jeffrey Combs and Oliver Reed. I haven’t seen it, but I think it looks AMAZING.
This movie looks seven different kinds of awesome. It’s B movie cheese all the way. Check out the trailer.
You know what, now that I’ve watched this trailer, I think I’ve seen parts of this on cable I just didn’t know what it was called.

Ordabayev et al. developed an open-source analysis software for colocalization single-molecule fluorescence experiments
April 21, 2022 By DivSciComm
Yerdos Ordabayev et al. in the Department of Biochemistry use Bayesian probabilistic programming to implement computer software “Tapqir” for analysis of colocalization single-molecule spectroscopy (CoSMoS) image data. CoSMoS is a tool widely used in vitro to study the biochemical and physical mechanisms of the protein and nucleic acid macromolecular “machines” that perform essential biological functions. In this method, formation and/or dissociation of molecular complexes is observed by single-molecule fluorescence microscopy as the colocalization of binder and target macromolecules each labeled with a different color of fluorescent dye. Despite the use of the method for over twenty years, reliable analysis of CoSMoS data remains a significant challenge to the effective and more widespread use of the technique.
This work describes a holistic causal probabilistic model of CoSMoS image data formation. This model is physics-based and includes realistic shot noise in fluorescent spots, camera noise, the size and shape of spots, and the presence of both specific and nonspecific binder molecules in the images. Most importantly, instead of yielding a binary spot-/no-spot determination, the algorithm calculates the probability of a colocalization event. Unlike alternative approaches, Tapqir does not require subjective threshold settings of parameters so they can be used effectively and accurately by non-expert analysts. The program is implemented in the state-of-the-art Python-based probabilistic programming language Pyro (open-sourced by Uber AI Labs in 2017), which enables efficient use of graphics processing unit (GPU)-based hardware for rapid parallel processing of data and facilitates future modifications to the model. Tapqir is free, open-source software. We envision that Tapqir program is likely to be adopted by researchers who use single-molecule colocalization methods to study a wide range of different biological systems.

Dmitry Kleinbock is awarded a Simons Fellowship in Mathematics
March 22, 2022 By DivSciComm
Professor of Mathematics Dmitry Kleinbock has been awarded a prestigious Simons Fellowship in Mathematics, which will support research activities during his sabbatical leave in the fall of 2022.
Kleinbock’s research deals with dynamical systems of algebraic origin and their applications to number theory. A dynamical system is simply a set of points together with an evolution law that governs the way points move over time. It turns out that many mathematical problems concerning integer solutions of some equations or inequalities can be understood in terms of the behavior of certain dynamical systems. Furthermore, systems that arise in this context are of algebraic nature (so called flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups), which makes it possible to use a wide variety of sophisticated tools such as representation theory, hyperbolic geometry and geometry of lattices.
During the Spring 2022 semester Kleinbock is visiting the Institute for Mathematical Research at ETH (Zürich, Switzerland), giving a lecture course on the topic of dynamics on homogeneous spaces. The plan for the spring is to finish several projects and start new collaborations. Then in the Fall 2022 semester Kleinbock will be a member of a thematic program on Applications of Dynamics in Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, NJ, led by Tamar Ziegler (Hebrew University, Jerusalem). This will be an excellent opportunity, thanks to the Simons Fellowship, to explore further connections between dynamics and number theory.

Grace Han and 2 Alumni Receive 2022 Sloan Foundation Fellowships
February 17, 2022 By DivSciComm
Grace Han (left) and her group.
The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has announced the winners of the 2022 Sloan Research Fellowships. These fellowships are awarded to early-career scientists that represent the most promising researchers working today. Winners receive $75,000, which can be used to support their research over a two-year term. Grace Han, Assistant Professor of Chemistry and the Landsman Career Development Chair in the Sciences is one of the 2022 recipients.
The major goal of Dr. Grace Han’s research program is to develop functional organic material systems that exhibit phase transitions triggered by external stimuli, notably light. The photo-controlled phase-change materials have a game-changing potential in waste heat recycling and storage, photo-actuation, photo-lithography, and photo-regulated adhesion. In particular, the novel strategy to optically ‘fix’ a liquid phase under fluctuating temperatures allows for a long-term latent heat storage and a triggered release of energy, which is not attainable by conventional phase-change materials such as paraffins or salt hydrates. To achieve this goal, her team investigates the photo-induced structural and polarity changes of molecular switches based on azobenzene, which reversibly controls the phase of materials.
The Sloan Research Fellowship will support the new direction of Han group’s research in expanding the materials set by the rational design of photoswitches with enhanced optical and thermal properties, which will address the challenges of the current state-of-the-art switches.
Two Brandeis alumni also received 2022 fellowships: Netta Engelhardt, BS ’11 (Physics) and Dapeng Bi, PhD ’12 (Physics).

Anish Ghosh receives the 2021 Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize
December 16, 2021 By DivSciComm
Anish Ghosh has received the 2021 Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize in Mathematical Sciences. The Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize is India’s highest science award within the country. While at Brandeis, Anish Ghosh was the student of Dmitry Kleinbock, Professor of Mathematics. He is currently a faculty member at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai where he specializes in Ergodic Theory and Number Theory.
Kleinbock wrote the following about his former student:
“It was a great pleasure to find out that Anish Ghosh, my former student here at Brandeis, has received the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar prize. Anish is a talented mathematician working in the field of ergodic theory on homogeneous spaces. Interest in this field rose significantly during the late 1980s and early 1990s after the seminal achievements of Marina Ratner and Anish’s mathematical grandfather Gregory Margulis, whose work, in particular the proof of the Oppenheim Conjecture, has since served as a basis for numerous links between dynamics and number theory.”
“Anish has been exploring connections between the two fields throughout his mathematical career. Since his graduation in 2006 he has authored more than 40 papers, many published in top-level journals, and has become one of a few people who are shaping the subject of ergodic theory and its arithmetical applications. Among his notable achievements I can mention the work on distribution of dense lattice orbits in homogeneous spaces, on intrinsic Diophantine approximation, on applications of equidistribution to counting lattice points and – most recently – an approach to quantitative Oppenheim-type problems involving Rogers’ moment formulas.”
“Anish has also been a great mentor, who as of now has produced at least 8 PhD students and collaborated with them extensively on various problems. He has lectured extensively on the subject of connections of dynamics and number theory and edited several collections of papers. To summarize, the Bhatnagar Prize is well deserved, and I am positive that the mathematical talent of Anish Ghosh will continue to flourish.”

Schmidt-Rohr examines why plants need two different photosystems
In a recent paper in Life (Basel), Klaus Schmidt-Rohr, Professor of Chemistry, introduces a self-explanatory description of the energetics of photosynthesis in plants, the so-called EZ-scheme. It shows the energies of molecules in kJ/mol instead of the classical Z-scheme’s shifted energy differences that are misleadingly encrypted in volts. Unlike its predecessor, the EZ-scheme includes the Kok cycle in the water-splitting complex, charge separation after photon absorption, and the Calvin cycle with carbohydrate synthesis (in a simplified form). It also shows O2 correctly as a high-energy product, due to its relatively weak double bond, and demonstrates that Photosystem II pumps more of the absorbed photon energy into O2 than into the plant.
This paper provides the first valid explanation of why plants need two different photosystems: PSII mostly extracts hydrogen (as protons plus electrons) from H2O, producing PQH2 (plastoquinol), and generates the energetically expensive product O2, providing little energy directly to the plant. PSI is needed to produce significant chemical energy for the organism, in the form of ATP, and to generate a less reluctant hydrogen donor, NADPH. This work fundamentally revises received notions of the energetics of photosynthesis, by pointing out the classical Z-scheme’s bewildering implication that H2O gives off electrons spontaneously to chlorophyll while releasing energy, and by showing that the concept of energy transport by “high-energy electrons” in photosynthesis is misguided, since energy and electrons flow in opposite directions.
Figure 1 Simplified EZ-scheme of the energetics of photosynthesis in plants, converting H2O and CO2 to O2 and carbohydrate, [CH2O]. The direction of energy transfer and release is indicated by straight red arrows at the top, formal hydrogen transfer by blue dashed curved arrows at the bottom of the diagram. Three dots … indicate omitted redox reactions.

Annapolitan dancer and choreographer just keeps on dancing
May 19, 2013/Phil Burgess/Comments Off on Annapolitan dancer and choreographer just keeps on dancing

Some people change lanes when they come to their bonus years. Examples: The attorney shifts to volunteer work for a food bank. The accountant drives a school bus. The plumber reboots as a Little League coach.
Others stay more or less in the same lane: The retired naval officer goes to work for a marine salvage company. The homebuilder becomes a fix-it man. The vocalist becomes a music teacher.
But some keep right on going…and going…and going. They don’t reboot; they re-up. Reupping is the best way to describe Annapolitan Eileen Carson Schatz.
Having turned 60, gateway to the bonus years, Eileen is unusual in the sense that her work – as a dance performer and dance teacher (in addition to choreographer, vocalist and song writer) – is a physically-demanding vocation, more like the carpenter-homebuilder climbing ladders in all kinds of weather than the desk-bound attorney or accountant. Still, she is active – both as a choreographer and a performer – in the Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble, one of the nation’s most recognized dance troupes, which she founded in 1979.
Eileen has dedicated her life to sharing with people throughout the U.S. and abroad the power and joy of multicultural traditional music (including everything from fiddles and banjos to a jazz saxophone and muted trumpet) and percussive dance – think of the fusion of Irish step-dancing as in Riverdance, urban improvisation as in Stomp, Appalachian cloggers, tap dancing, African American rhythms and South African chants. She is a pioneer in bringing percussive dance to performing arts stages and the general public.
Eileen’s family, from the Southern Appalachians of East Tennessee, moved to Maryland to seek better education and career opportunities. Their genes include a great love and respect for traditional Southern music and dance along with an appreciation of jazz, swing, ballroom dancing, and all of the performing arts. Eileen’s parents encouraged her with ballet, tap, and modern dance instruction and participation in youth productions and choirs.
“My parents had a passion for the performing arts, so I saw a lot of live shows as I was growing up,” Eileen said.
In her adolescence in the late 1960s, Eileen’s father’s work took the family to Japan, where she studied the language and culture. Eileen recalls, “I attended the American school on the Army base during the height of the Motown music era. Our school included Asians, African-Americans and Americans from every region. I danced every day with my multi-cultural classmates. That’s where I discovered the fun of dancing with others. That’s also where I learned the rich diversity of dance and music. It was a life-changing experience.”
In her late teens and early twenties Eileen returned to the South to reconnect with the music and dance of her family heritage, especially flatfooting and clogging – the individual improvisational percussive dance native to the Southern Appalachian Mountains.
In 1974, Eileen began dancing with the Green Grass Cloggers of North Carolina, a group of college students with a love of fiddle music and dance. The group toured the folk circuit throughout North America, which exposed her to the many different traditions of percussive dance.
When Eileen moved back to Maryland in 1979, she founded The Fiddle Puppet Dancers, now called Footworks, to reflect the expansion of the repertoire to include a collection of multi-cultural percussive dances performed with a band of live musicians.
Under Eileen’s direction, Footworks was one of eight groups selected by the Smithsonian to represent American culture on a tour of Japan. Footworks has also appeared live at Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Wolftrap and the Vail International Dance Festival in Colorado.
And Eileen, herself, performed in the first London run of “Riverdance” and choreographed one of the pieces. She has also received many awards – including an “Annie” (in the performing arts category) from the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County, “Artist of the Year” from Young Audiences of Maryland, the “Individual Artist Award for Choreography” from The Maryland State Arts Council and a National Endowment for the Arts Choreography Fellowship.
Known as “a spirited and inspiring teacher,” Eileen has taught hundreds of workshops and residencies at schools, universities, and traditional arts camps throughout the US and abroad for all ages and abilities, as well as master classes for trained dancers. A recent example of her bonus years work to advance the arts in education can be viewed on YouTube at: bitly.com/13vTEuc.
In June 2010, Eileen and Footworks were commissioned by the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts to create “Steps and Stripes” to be performed for the Americans for the Arts Conference in Baltimore. Eileen and musician Mark Schatz (award-winning performer on the acoustic bass and claw hammer banjo), her husband and collaborator of nearly 25 years – the only husband-wife duo to receive an “Annie” – created this stunning patriotic, entertaining and educational piece
It celebrates the writing of the “Stars Spangled Banner” in Baltimore nearly 200 years ago, in 1814, and the vital role of music and dance in shaping our state and nation. For an excerpt from a recent Maryland Hall performance see YouTube at: bitly.com/10pLm65
At an age when most people are planning their retirement, Eileen and Footworks sought and received a place on the Touring Roster of the Maryland State Arts Council, which means that the Naval Academy, St. Johns and other Maryland venues can apply to the state to receive half the fee for a Footworks performance of “Steps and Stripes.” That also means that Eileen, Mark and other Footworks performers will be fast-stepping for a long time to come, to the enrichment of us all.

The Mirror of the Sea
Already listened
"The Mirror of the Sea" (1906) is a collection of autobiographical essays first published in various magazines between 1904 and 1906.
Joseph Conrad lived an exciting and eventful life as a seaman, and as a writer he possessed a unique insight into human psychology, which is clearly reflected in his fictional works as well as in his essays.
Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a Polish-born author who left Poland in his teens to avoid enlistment in the Russian Army. He learned English aboard British ships and started writing in that language after settling in England. His most famous novel is "Heart of Darkness" (1899), which was inspired by his experiences on the open sea.

6 Richard Osman Quotes from Books
Hello. I am Deepak Kundu, an avid book reader and quotes collector. Here is a list of 6 Richard Osman quotes that I liked and saved from various books. I hope you enjoy reading them.
Richard Osman Quotes
Revenge is not a straight line, it’s a circle. It’s a grenade that goes off while you’re still in the room, and you can’t help but be caught in the blast.
from The Man Who Died Twice book by Richard Osman
#the-man-who-died-twice-quotes
Well, let’s take it one day at a time, shall we? I enjoyed yesterday, I’m having fun today, and I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
If one is never lost in life, then clearly one has never travelled anywhere interesting.
The secret of life is death. Everything is about death, you see. In essence. Our existence only makes sense because of it; it provides meaning to our narrative. Our direction of travel is always towards it. Our behaviour is either because we fear it, or because we choose to deny it.
#life-quotes, #the-man-who-died-twice-quotes
Words are very important, most people don’t know that, and the more specific a word is, the better it is.
There are certain steps you take in life that you can’t easily turn back from. So take them with care. You don’t want to make a fool of yourself.

The Ultimate Guide to Books for Reluctant Readers Ages 12 to 13
Karina Glaser May 26, 2015
Here in New York City, I’ve observed a distinct mood change around the schoolyards. Decibel levels have crept into the danger zone, kids are literally bouncing off the walls (scuffed sneaker prints on the walls to prove it), and teachers are gulping down Advil. Something is coming.
While some of us welcome summer (more relaxed schedules, wearing tank tops, going to the beach), others dread it (kids are not in school, family reunions, it’s hot!). And for many kids, reading takes a huge backslide during the summer. Those nightly reading assignments and endless five-hundred word essays for school may have made reading a chore rather than a joy.

Here at Book Riot we’ve had a lot of questions come in about this very topic, especially among kids ages twelve to thirteen. Here is a list of recommended books with high interest plots (special thanks to Ms. Pryor and Ms. Millman, librarians extraordinaire, for their help in compiling this list!), plus some more tips for keeping your reluctant readers turning those pages throughout the summer. Feel free to add your suggestions in the comments section below!
After a school year full of analyzing texts, drawing sentence diagrams, and writing persuasive first paragraphs, kids need books that will draw them in and keep them interested. (And kids don’t need to be afraid someone is going to ask them to write a character sketch afterwards.) Give these a try!
*Note: For books in a series, the series name links to the book series set (if available), and the photo and blurb refer to the first book in the series.
Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz (first book in series: Stormbreaker): Alex Rider is the 14-year-old hero of British author Horowitz’s spy thriller series. When his guardian and uncle, Ian, is mysteriously killed, Alex discovers that his uncle was not the bank vice-president he purported to be, but rather a spy for the British government. Now the government wants Alex to take over his uncle’s mission: investigating Sayle Enterprises, the makers of a revolutionary computer called Stormbreaker.
The Blackwell Pages series by K.L. Armstrong (first book in series: Loki’s Wolves): Matt hears the words, but he can’t believe them. He’s Thor’s representative? Destined to fight trolls, monstrous wolves and giant serpents…or the world ends? He’s only thirteen. While Matt knew he was a modern-day descendent of Thor, he’s always lived a normal kid’s life. In fact, most people in the small town of Blackwell, South Dakota, are direct descendants of either Thor or Loki, including Matt’s classmates Fen and Laurie Brekke. No big deal. But now Ragnarok is coming, and it’s up to the champions to fight in the place of the long-dead gods. Matt, Laurie, and Fen’s lives will never be the same as they race to put together an unstoppable team, find Thor’s hammer and shield, and prevent the end of the world.
Sammy Keyes series by Wendelin Van Draanan (first book in series: Sammy Keyes and the Hotel Thief): What Sammy should have done was put the binoculars down and call 911. What she does instead is tighten up the focus on her right eye to get a better look. There’s something very familiar about this thief. But when Sammy eventually spills her story to Officer Borsch, he doesn’t believe her. He treats her like some snot-nosed little kid. Well, Sammy’s not going to stand for that. She’s a snot-nosed seventh grader now, and she knows what she saw. And somehow she’s going to prove it.
Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper: Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom—the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged, because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy. And she’s determined to let everyone know it…somehow.
Swindle series by Gordon Korman (first book in series: Swindle): Ocean’s 11 for 11-year-olds! After a mean collector named Swindle cons him out of his most valuable baseball card, Griffin Bing must put together a band of misfits to break into Swindle’s compound and recapture the card. There are many things standing in their way — a menacing guard dog, a high-tech security system, a very secret hiding place, and their inability to drive — but Griffin and his team are going to get back what’s rightfully his . . . even if hijinks ensue.
Ungifted by Gordon Korman: When Donovan Curtis pulls a major prank at his middle school, he thinks he’s finally gone too far. But thanks to a mix-up by one of the administrators, instead of getting in trouble, Donovan is sent to the Academy of Scholastic Distinction, a special program for gifted and talented students. Although it wasn’t exactly what Donovan had intended, the ASD couldn’t be a more perfectly unexpected hideout for someone like him. But as the students and teachers of ASD grow to realize that Donovan may not be good at math or science (or just about anything), he shows that his gifts may be exactly what the ASD students never knew they needed.
Fake ID by Lamar Giles: Nick Pearson is hiding in plain sight. In fact, his name isn’t really Nick Pearson. He shouldn’t tell you his real name, his real hometown, or why his family just moved to Stepton, Virginia. And he definitely shouldn’t tell you about his friend Eli Cruz and the major conspiracy Eli was uncovering when he died. About how Nick had to choose between solving Eli’s murder with his hot sister, Reya, and “staying low-key” like the Program said to do.
But he’s going to tell you—unless he gets caught first. . . .
Gallagher Girls Series by Ally Carter (first book in series: I’d Tell You I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You ): Cammie Morgan is a student at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, a fairly typical all-girls school-that is, if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE and the latest in chemical warfare in science, and students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class. The Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses but it’s really a school for spies.
The Great Wall of Lucy Wu by Wendy Wan-Long Shang: Lucy Wu, aspiring basketball star and interior designer, is on the verge of having the best year of her life. She’s ready to rule the school as a sixth grader, go out for captain of the school basketball team, and take over the bedroom she has always shared with her sister. In an instant, though, her plans are shattered when she finds out that Yi Po, her beloved grandmother’s sister, is coming to visit for several months — and is staying in Lucy’s room.
Lucy’s vision of a perfect year begins to crumble, and in its place come an unwelcome roommate, foiled birthday plans, a bully who tries to scare Lucy off the basketball team, and Chinese school with the annoying know-it-all Talent Chang. Lucy’s year is ruined — or is it?
Pickle by Kim Baker: This is the story of THE LEAGUE OF PICKLEMAKERS
Ben: who began it all by sneaking in one night and filling homeroom with ball-pit balls.
Frank: who figured out that an official club, say a pickle-making club, could receive funding from the PTA.
Oliver: who once convinced half of the class that his real parents had found him and he was going to live in a submarine.
Bean: who wasn’t exactly invited, but her parents own a costume shop, which comes in handy if you want to dress up like a giant squirrel and try to scare people at the zoo.
TOGETHER, they are an unstoppable prank-pulling force, and Fountain Point Middle School will never be the same.
Oh. My. Gods. series by Tera Lynn Childs: When Phoebe’s mom returns from Greece with a new husband and plans to move to an island in the Aegean Sea, Phoebe’s well-plotted senior year becomes ancient history. Now, instead of enjoying a triumphant track season and planning for college with her best friends, Phoebe is trying to keep her head above water at the super-exclusive Academy. If it isn’t hard enough being the new kid in school, Phoebe’s classmates are all descendents of the Greek gods! When you’re running against teammates with superpowers, dealing with a stepsister from Hades, and nursing a crush on a boy who is quite literally a god, the drama takes on mythic proportions!
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie: A story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot.
Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which is based on the author’s own experiences, coupled with poignant drawings by Ellen Forney that reflect the character’s art, chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.
Big Nate series by Lincoln Pierce (first book in series: Big Nate: In a Class By Himself: Nate knows he’s meant for big things. REALLY big things. But things don’t always go your way just because you’re awesome. Nate barely survives his dad’s toxic oatmeal before rushing off to school—minus his lunch. He body slams the no-nonsense principal. He accidentally insults his least favorite teacher, the horrifying Mrs. Godfrey (aka Godzilla). And school has barely started! Trouble always seems to find him, but Nate keeps his cool. He knows he’s destined for greatness. A fortune cookie told him so. Here comes BIG NATE, accidental mischief maker and definitely NOT the teacher’s pet.
Ask My Mood Ring How I Feel by Diana Lopez: It’s summer before eighth grade, and Erica “Chia” Montenegro is feeling so many things that she needs a mood ring to keep track of her emotions.

Amara is cute, but she’s also a cranky, grouchy baby, and mostly prefers to play by herself. Their relationship doesn’t improve much over the years, but when a baby brother enters the picture and later, something doesn’t seem right between their parents, they realize they must figure out how to get along. They are sisters, after all. (Try also Smile and Drama by the same author.)
Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, Brooke Allen, and Shannon Watters: Five best friends spending the summer at Lumberjane scout camp…defeating yetis, three-eyed wolves, and giant falcons…what’s not to love?! Friendship to the max! Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to have an awesome summer together…and they’re not gonna let any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way!
Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney (first book in series: Diary of a Wimpy Kid): It’s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. The hazards of growing up before you’re ready are uniquely revealed through words and drawings as Greg records them in his diary.
Big Nate: Mr. Popularity by Lincoln Pierce: “Nate decides to run for class president, hoping to beat out his more popular competition. With Francis’s help, he might just be able to do it. Dealing with School Picture Day, playing on the basketball team, and coping with crushes are just some of the hijinks Nate gets into in this comics collection.” (School Library Journal)
Mouse Guard series by David Petersen (first book in series: Mouse Guard: Fall 1152): In the world of Mouse Guard, mice struggle to live safely and prosper amongst harsh conditions and a host of predators. Thus the Mouse Guard was formed: more than just soldiers that fight off intruders, they are guides for common mice looking to journey without confrontation from one hidden village to another. The Guard patrol borders, find safeways and paths through dangerous territories and treacherous terrain, watch weather patterns, and keep the mouse territories free of predatory infestation. They do so with fearless dedication so that they might not just exist, but truly live.

More Suggestions!
Read Out Loud (Yes, read aloud to 12 and 13 year olds!)
Kids twelve and thirteen still want to be read to, even if they’ve been reading independently for many years (and even though they may ask you to read to them only when no one else can see them). Read classics that you might have loved out loud with your kid. Ann M. Martin’s The Baby-Sitters Club, Lloyd Alexander’s The Book of Three, Francine Pascal’s Sweet Valley High, Carolyn Keene’s Nancy Drew, C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia, Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.
BONUS: Look for the original books covers you remember from used bookstores, on Ebay, or at your local Goodwill.
Research Favorite Authors and Check Out Book Websites
Look up your favorite author to see if s/he has a website (they usually do!). Websites have FAQs, extra resources, and announcements for book readings or when their next book is coming out.
NPR has an excellent podcast series called Backseat Book Club where they interview authors and review books. There are great recommendations on there, and hearing the authors talk about their inspiration and why they wrote their stories might inspire kids to pick up the books.
Rita Meade spoke about middle grade books with author Heidi Schulz and had some excellent suggestions here on Book Riot’s Dear Book Nerd Episode #35.
Read Books that Inspired Movies and Television Shows: Watch the movie then read the book or vice versa, then talk about what you might have liked from each. There might be productions and local theater companies performing shows based on books as well, so keep an eye out for those! Some reviews and more book/movie pairings can be found on FromtheMixed-UpFiles.com.

The Historical Register of the United States, Volumen1
editado por Thomas H. Palmer
2d of November, declaring the Berlin and Milan decrees to be repealed. This proclamation was accompanied by a circular from the treasury department to the collectors of the customs, ordering that, unless they should be officially notified, by the treasury department, before the 2d of February, of the revocation or modification of the British edicts violating the neutral commerce of the United States, they should proceed to carry into effect the law prohibiting the entrance of British vessels, and the importation of articles of the growth, produce, or manufacture of Great Britain.
On the meeting of congress, memorials were presented to them from most of the mercantile cities, stating the peculiar hardships which would result to the merchants by enforcing the non-intercourse with Great Britain so early as the second of February, and stating that orders had been sent for goods previous to the issuing of the president's proclamation, which would not arrive till after that date, and of course would be liable to seizure and condemnation. For the relief of these cases an act was passed on the second of March, 1811, exempting from forfeiture all vessels which should have left a British port prior to the second of February. The same act provided, that in case Great Britain should so revoke or modify her edicts as that they should cease to violate the neutral commerce of the United States, the president should declare the fact by proclamation, from the date of which all restrictions should cease. No other evidence, however, of the revocation was to be admitted except the proclamation. A great amount of property was relieved from confiscation by this act, but it did not operate equally. A number of vessels, finding they could not reach their destined ports in America previous to the second of February, altered their course for some of the British dependencies in America, where the goods were landed. These goods, of course, were excluded from the benefit of the extension granted by congress, and were stored until some arrangements should take place between Great Britain and the United States.
On the 18th of June, 1812, war was declared by the United States against Great Britain. On the 23d of the same month, an order
in council was issued by the British government, revoķing her hostile edicts so far as related to the United States, subject, however, to certain specified conditions. On the promulgation of this order a great number of shipments were made on board of American vessels in Great Britain, most of them in conformity with previous orders from merchants in America to their correspondents in England to make such shipments immediately on the revocation of the orders in council, on the presump
tion that the proclamation of the president would immediately follow. On the 30th of July, the news of the declaration of war reached England, and an embargo was immediately laid on American vessels. On the ensuing day, however, they were by order in council permitted to proceed to the United States with cargoes of British merchandise, being for that purpose provided with licenses protecting them, notwithstanding existing hostilities, from capture by British cruizers. On their arrival in the United States these vessels were seized and libelled by the collectors, pursuant to instructions from the treasury department.
After the declaration of war, most of the goods which had been carried into the British dependencies on account of not being able to reach the United States before the 2d of February, 1811, were imported, and seized in like manner.
The committee of ways and means, to whom the subject had been referred by the house of representatives, made a report on the 25th of November, on the subject of the direct importations from Great Britain and Ireland. This report was accompanied by a correspondence with the secretary of the treasury ; by a detailed examination of committees of merchants from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and affidavits and letters from a number of other merchants ; and by a state
; ment made by Mr. Russell to the committee.
The secretary stated, that however reasonable the expectation of the discontinuance of the non-importation act might have been, yet as not only the act had made the president's proclamation the only evidence of the fact, but that the restrictions were to cease, not from the date of the revocation of the orders in council, but from the date of the proclamation ; that the act to put merchandize on board a vessel with intent to import was forbidden by those restrictions, and that all the merchandize having been thus laden, either prematurely and before a proclamation could in point of time be issued by the president, or after the knowledge of war) all the shipments were therefore made in direct contravention of an existing provision; the collectors were therefore instructed to seize and libel all such vessels and cargoes without discrimination. No exception was made with respect to vessels captured and sent in by American privateers, because, if American property, their right to make prizes was by law confined to enemy's property, and whether American or enemy's, the forfeiture to the United States had been incurred from the date of the shipment, and could not be superseded by a subsequent capture. Instructions to prevent any interference in that respect by either public or private armed vessels were also issued by the president; such interference being consider
ed wholly unnecessary, since the vessels from England were of their own accord coming into the ports of the United States. It appears,
that in some cases the owners of privateers contested a prior claim to forfeiture of the United States, and those cases, of course, were before the courts.
A considerable diversity took place in different states with respect to the disposal of the goods thus seized. The district attorneys had been instructed by the comptroller of the treasury, previous to the war, to oppose every motion of the claimants of prohibited merchandize for its restoration on giving bond for its appraised value, on the grounds of such restoration being contrary both to the spirit and letter of the non-importation act, the policy and intention of which was to shut the door, as effectually as possible, against the introduction of British manufactures, the exclusion of which might be totally defeated by an opposite construction, as the enhanced value of the British commodity, arising from a general scarcity, might make it, in most cases, the interest of the importer to forfeit his bond. It appearing, however, that the judges of some of the most commercial districts, notwithstanding the opposition on the part of the United States, continued to order the restoration of the British merchandize; no appeal being practicable, since the orders were immediately executed; and the commercial interest of those districts where the restoration was refused being deeply affected by the want of uniformity in the decisions, the comptroller authorized the district attorneys to withdraw their opposition in all cases of bona-fide American property.
The secretary, in conclusion, states it to be his opinion, that, so far as could be judged from the current price of goods, and from sales said to have taken place, the supposition that they had been or could be generally made so as to cover the whole amount of the bonds, as well as the prime cost, charges, and duties, though perhaps true in some particular instances, was no doubt greatly exaggerated. That it was, however, an indisputable fact, that the importation fell far short of the ordinary annual importations from Great Britain, and of the actual demand for most species of the merchandize imported ; and that the goods were accordingly generally sold at an advance greater than the usual profits of importers. The difference constituted an extraordinary profit, and was a tax levied on the community by the persons who imported the merchandize contrary to law; which extra profit or tax was solely due to the non-importation act continuing in force with respect to all other persons and importations. The secretary accordingly submitted it as his opinion, that the one half of the forfeitures which would otherwise
fall to the share of collectors ought to be remitted; but that, with respect to the one half belonging to the United States, justice to the community required that, when remitted, at least an equivalent should be secured to the public for the extra profit, beyond that on common importations, which arises from the continuance of the non-importation act.
The statements made by the merchants, who are mentioned by the committee as men of character and respectability, were delivered apparently with such fairness and candour as induced the committee to give much credit to them. These statements went principally to prove, that they were innocent of intentional violations of the prohibitory law, and that the current reports of the enormous advances obtained by importers were not well founded, and had probably originated from a misunderstanding of the mode of selling English goods in some of the cities. That in New York, for instance, it is usual to demand and obtain three for one in the sale of such goods, which means £ 3 New York currency for £ 1 sterling, which really yields but 685 per cent. advance on the prime cost. They admitted that particular articles had been sold for very high prices; but these articles were few in number, and were more than counterbalanced by the losses sustained on others, arising from the change of fashions, or the competition of American manufactures, which had grown up or increased in quantity while these goods had been kept in England by the non-importation law, at the expence and
, risk of their owners, and from the unsaleableness of goods for the southern market from the expence or impracticability of land carriage, and the risk of water conveyance from the cruizers of the enemy. They stated likewise that the high prices which had been obtained on some articles had been often received by second or third purchasers and not by the importers, the second purchasers being often a species of jobbers, who, having money at command, and being well acquainted with the state of the market, when there is a scarcity of a particular article, monopolize it and raise the price. These statements were corroborated and confirmed by declarations made on oath, by persons disinterested, as well as those interested in these importations.
Mr. Russell, late American charge d'affaires in Great Britain, who attended the committee at their request, stated that after the revocation of the orders in council, many of the American merchants applied to him to obtain his opinion, whether they could ship British manufactures to the United States with safety, or not? That before the revocation of the orders, upon considering the whole circumstances of the case, examining the words of the law, and perceiving that its operation depended
solely on the revocation of the orders in council; considering the evident bearing of the examinations in parliament, and the ground on which the opposition contended for the revocation of the orders, which was not so much an act of justice to the United States, as the advantage that was promised to their own manufacturers, he thought it his duty to countenance the idea that shipments made after the revocation of the orders would be admitted into the United States; that this ground was taken by the advocates for a revocation of the orders, who declared that they would advise their friends to ship, as they believed shipments, in the event of a revocation, might be made with safety, and that he thought good policy required him to countenance the idea, in order to co-operate as far as possible with the advocates of the revocation of the orders. That after the revocation of the orders, he continued to declare, and did declare to the merchants who applied to him, as his opinion, that they might make shipments with safety. This opinion applied only to the cases where shipments were made before the war; after a knowledge of the war had reached England he declared distinctly to the merchants, that the ground of a probable annulment of the non-importation act by the government of the United States had ceased. Mr. Russell stated, however, that after the knowledge of the declaration of war had reached England, he did still advise the American merchants to ship; because, if the property remained in England during the war, it would be ruinous to the holders. Many persons, after the revocation of the orders, and before the news of war arrived, had made purchases. He would not be understood to say, that he advised the merchants that in case the law should not be repealed, they would be permitted to enjoy the advantages of a monopoly and the consequent extraordinary profits, but merely that the property would not be confiscated; this, however, he said, was not at all a subject of conversation. His opinion that shipments might be made with safety, was founded as well on a presumption that the law would be annulled, as that the shippers would, in any event, be placed as nearly as possible on the footing on which they would have stood, had the law been annulled. That if the law should not be annulled, the special circumstances under which the shipments were made would entitle them to an exemption from its penalties.
The committee, in their report to the house, stated, that, on a view of the whole subject, they were of opinion, that the secretary of the treasury had full power to remit or mitigate the penalties and forfeitures incurred, should an interposition in either way be called for by the circumstances of the case.

Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories
CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 8. 3. 2012 - 94 strán (strany)
Highly Recommended! Fantastic author!Oscar Fingall O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford where, a disciple of Pater, he founded an aesthetic cult. In 1884 he married Constance Lloyd, and his two sons were born in 1885 and 1886.His novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), and social comedies Lady Windermere's Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895), and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), established his reputation. In 1895, following his libel action against the Marquess of Queesberry, Wilde was sentenced to two years' imprisonment for homosexual conduct, as a result of which he wrote The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1898), and his confessional letter De Profundis (1905). On his release from prison in 1897 he lived in obscurity in Europe, and died in Paris in 1900.

How to Nourish Your Child Through an Eating Disorder: A Simple, Plate-By-Plate Approach to Rebuilding a Healthy Relationship with Food

& 2 more
Parents are the first to know when their child starts behaving differently. Has your son stopped eating his favorite food, or does he refuse to eat out with friends? Has your daughter drastically increased her exercise regimen, or become obsessed with health foods? These are among the telltale signs that your child, like millions of others, may have an eating disorder (ED).
In this essential guide, registered dietitians Casey Crosbie and Wendy Sterling introduce an all-new strategy you can use to help your child at home. The Plate-by-Plate approach is rooted in family-based treatment (FBT)--the leading psychological therapy for EDs. Unlike complicated "exchange" systems, this is simple: Crosbie and Sterling coach you through every aspect of meeting your child's nutritional needs, using just one tool--a ten-inch plate.
Paired with therapy, this intuitive, visual method is the best way to support your child on the path to recovery. Plus, the authors cover how to talk about diet and weight, what to do while traveling, what to expect from your child's doctor, and much more.

"[With] simple and clear yet science-backed recommendations, and professional yet compassionate tone . . . I'd recommend this book to any RD who works with young ED clients participating in FBT."--Today's Dietitian
"A key tenet of family-based treatment (FBT) for adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN) is to empower parents so that they (the parents) can bring about weight restoration for their teen. This process is a delicate one--the clinician is to support the parents' efforts without telling them what to do, yet steering them in the right direction. Parents and providers can get tripped up in this task as weight restoration seldom follows a straight upward trajectory. A solid under-standing of the nutritional requirements for recovery in AN is key to getting this task done. That said, the foundation model of FBT does not specify how best to integrate nutritional expertise in this treatment. This book offers a terrific start to this process--it will inform parents rather than prescribe to parents. Crosbie and Sterling take great care to use their nutritional expertise to complement the key FBT tenets. As a result, How to Nourish Your Child Through an Eating Disorder will be a helpful tool not only to parents, but also to the many clinicians who are tasked with supporting parents in their struggle to help their child overcome an eating disorder."--Daniel Le Grange, PhD, Benioff UCSF Professor in Children's Health and Eating Disorders director, Department of Psychiatry and UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, University of California, San Francisco, and emeritus professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience, the University of Chicago

Celtics 91, Heat 72: Rajon Rondo, Boston Shock Miami On Sunday

Share All sharing options for: Celtics 91, Heat 72: Rajon Rondo, Boston Shock Miami On Sunday
BOSTON - File this one under unexpected -- really, really unexpected -- outcomes. Undeterred by the absence of Ray Allen, the Rajon Rondo-led Boston Celtics beat down the Miami Heat, obliterating the visitors from South Beach 91-72 on Sunday at TD Garden.
"Statement or not, we did what we're supposed to do tonight, which is get a win on our home court," said Rondo. "We're playing pretty good as of late."
Rondo registered his fifth triple-double of the season with 16 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds and Paul Pierce led all scorers with 23 points on 8-of-17 shooting. Brandon Bass amassed 16 points and 10 boards, Kevin Garnett finished with 10 points and eight rebounds and Avery Bradley, staring in place of Allen, scored a commendable 13 points.
"We're just going to tell him we're playing on ABC every day," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers about Rondo, who seems to step up his game on national television. "One of the things going in the game today, we told Rondo that we needed him to be a scorer. Not necessarily a playmaker, a scorer. And I thought he set the tone at the beginning of the game by doing that, and I thought that loosened it up for everybody else to get into the game."
After nearly coughing up a 10-point lead in the second quarter (Boston led 29-19 through 12 minutes), the Celtics used a big third period in which they outscored the Heat, 31-12, and Miami would fall behind by as many as 29 points in the fourth before losing by 19 points.
LeBron James was held scoreless for the first six-plus minutes of the game but finished with 23 to lead Miami, which shot 34.8 percent from the floor (31-for-89). Dwyane Wade added 15 points and Shane Battier chipped in with 11 points off the bench for the Heat.
"The game is a game of runs," said Rondo. "We know they're a big team, they're going to make a lot of runs like a 14-0 run. We want to continue to get stops defensively, and stall at mid court."
"It's not about what we say right now. It's not about any kind of meeting, and kind of talk. It's not about a response to the media. This game was unacceptable," said Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra. "We will fix it together, collectively. We're not happy about it, we have not been able to come up with an answer on the road, particularly in the third quarter. We fell prey to that again tonight. We will figure it out, somehow, somehow ... we will figure it out."
Boston has two days to rest before facing the always-tough San Antonio Spurs in Boston.

The Future of Funai (Part 2): What Funai officials and indigenous protectors are expecting from Brazil’s incoming government

Read part one of the Future of Funai series here.
São Paulo, Brazil — In November, incoming President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva gave a rousing speech at the COP 27 climate conference in Egypt where he announced the return of Brazil to the world stage as a leader in fighting climate change.
Neidinha Suruí, an indigenous rights activist from the northern state of Rondônia, was watching.
“Seeing a president at COP 27 talking about the country with pride, talking about the environment with good proposals, makes us proud to be Brazilian,” Suruí told Brazil Reports with cautious optimism.

“I hope that the new government is committed to environmental issues, human rights issues and especially the rights of indigenous peoples,” she said.
For four years, institutions that protect indigenous peoples in Brazil, especially the government-backed National Indian Foundation (Funai), have been gutted due to disinterest from the administration of outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro.
The results have been devastating for indigenous populations.
In August, the Indigenous Missionary Council (CIMI) released its annual report on violence against indigenous communities. The number of recorded invasions onto indigenous lands by loggers and miners rose to 305 in 2021, up from 109 in 2018 when President Bolsonaro first took office (nearly tripling), and violence against the community had “deepened.”
Ahead of Lula’s assumption to the presidency on January 1, Brazil Reports interviewed current and former Funai members, as well as people who belong to the indigenous communities they’re tasked with protecting, for a two-part series that seeks to understand the level of damage suffered under Bolsonaro’s administration, as well as their expectations to be able to function properly under Lula’s new government.

For this final installment, indigenous protectors outlined their hopes and expectations for Lula’s administration, including the resumption of demarcating new indigenous territories which stalled under Bolsonaro, funneling more resources to Funai, as well as their skepticism surrounding Lula’s plan to create a new Ministry of Indigenous Affairs.
Demarcation of indigenous land must resume immediately
Under Bolsonaro, demarcation — the process of Funai identifying, legalizing and protecting land inhabited by indigenous peoples — has effectively stalled out. Bolsonaro’s was the first government since Brazil’s return to democracy in the 1980s to not demarcate any new indigenous lands.
Fernando Vianna, chair of INA
As a result, deforestation and mining in the Amazon rainforest exploded under Bolsonaro, drawing the ire of the international community and climate protectors.
Fernando Vianna, a current Funai employee and the chair of Indigenistas Associados (Associated Indigenists), or INA, an independent indigenous rights defense group, told Brazil Reports that resuming demarcation immediately and providing Funai with the resources to carry out demarcation is urgently needed.
“It takes a lot of resources, a lot of professionals and a lot of political will to resolve these demarcation issues,” he said.
Suruí, the indigenous rights protector, agrees. She says that protection of indigenous territories should be a top priority for the incoming government but also that the new government should remove land invaders who have encroached on indigenous territories during Bolsonaro’s rule.
“All invaders must be removed from territories such as the Yanomami, Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau, Karipuna, which are heavily affected territories, in addition to the territory of Javari,” she said.
In order to successfully restart the demarcation process, Funai will need resources.

Under Bolsonaro, Funai’s yearly budgets remained relatively consistent, but were never fully utilized. This year, Funai has only spent USD $80 million of its USD $114 million budget. Also, key officials who had been working for Funai for years were removed from their positions and replaced with people sympathetic to loggers and miners, according to current and former officials.
With Lula, Vianna sees hope that Funai’s work will be valued once more.
“Now there is a discourse of valuing our work, valuing indigenous rights and obviously we see this with great hope,” he said.
Clarification on the new Ministry of Indigenous Affairs

During Lula’s COP 27 speech in November he announced his intention to establish a Ministry of Indigenous Affairs as a means to create more representation for indigenous communities within the federal government.
Although the establishment of the ministry is currently in doubt due to recent remarks where Lula seemed to backtrack on the idea, indigenous protectors interviewed by Brazil Reports remain optimistic, if skeptical, about the success of such a ministry.
Symbolically, Vianna sees the creation of a ministry for indigenous peoples as an important step to acknowledging their importance within Brazilian politics and society. But he’s doubtful about how such a ministry will function.
“The [Ministry of Indigenous Affairs] is a very important novelty; symbolically super important in terms of valuing the theme itself. But how will this ministry work?” Vianna asked. “Where will it draw resources from? How will our agency, Funai, be linked to this ministry? There are questions still open that point to a positive outlook, but still very uncertain.”
Former chair of Funai Marcio Santilli
Marcio Santilli, the former chair of Funai from 1995 to 1996, is also worried about how the new ministry will impact government organizations like Funai that are already working to protect indigenous rights.
“This possibility of tinkering with what already exists is worrying because these segments of the government, such as Funai, need to be rebuilt because they have been weakened [under Bolsonaro],” Santilli told Brazil Reports. “So moving from a stronger ministry to a ministry in formation is always a delicate measure.”
Funai currently sits within the Ministry of Justice, one of the most influential ministries in Brazil’s government. According to the former Funai official, if Funai was restructured under the new Ministry of Indigenous Affairs, it could lose influence in its first years of operation as the new ministry takes hold.
“In any case, the basic intention of this proposal is a positive intention, which is to give the indigenous movement the highest degree of discourse within the structure of the government,” said Santilli.

For Suruí, the indigenous rights activist, the creation of the new ministry is a victory, but she maintains that indigenous communities will be following the incoming government’s moves closely, and will continue to demand that the administration fulfill its promises to indigenous peoples.
“We know that Lula’s government will need all possible support from us and we are telling him that he can count on us. But we will be demanding that our rights are guaranteed,” she said.

U.S.-Caribbean Cooperation to Stop Firearms Trafficking
Addressing Firearms Trafficking is a U.S.-Caribbean Priority
Disrupting illicit firearms trafficking in the Caribbean is a shared priority for the United States and our Caribbean partners, and an important aspect of our cooperation to address rising levels of crime and violence in the region.
Raised as a top priority by Caribbean partners in the May 2022 Caribbean-U.S. Security Cooperation Dialogue, U.S. security assistance through the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative includes building regional capacity to disrupt illicit firearms trafficking.
Signed into law in July 2022, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act dramatically increased criminal penalties for straw purchasers and U.S.-sourced firearms trafficking.
Provisions under the “Stop Illegal Trafficking in Firearms Act” assign further penalties for smuggled firearms or ammunition out of the United States with intent to promote transnational organized crime.
Caribbean Crime Gun Intelligence Unit (CCGIU):
In November 2022, the CARICOM Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS), with U.S. interagency support, inaugurated the CCGIU to improve intelligence and information sharing among Caribbean and U.S. law enforcement agencies.
The CCGIU supports CARICOM Member States with seizing firearms, related parts, and components as well as in identifying, charging, and prosecuting co-conspirators for firearms crimes.
The CCGIU works with U.S. and international law enforcement partners including the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), UK National Crime Agency (NCA), INTERPOL, and the Regional Security System (RSS).
U.S. Investigative and Capacity-Building Support to the Caribbean
U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) attachés in Jamaica, The Bahamas, and Trinidad investigate firearms trafficking cases with partner-country law enforcement agencies and U.S. investigators.
U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) enforces U.S. export laws and investigates firearms and ammunition smuggling operations violating these laws.
The United States supports projects by the World Customs Organization, UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and the International Organization for Migration to increase port and border security to combat illicit trafficking.
In May 2019, CARICOM Heads of Government formally adopted the Caribbean Firearms Trafficking Priority Actions, which consist of a list of reforms and regional engagements identified by U.S. and Caribbean experts to effectively address firearms trafficking within the region.
In 2020, with U.S. support, the CARICOM Implementational Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS) and the United Nations Regional Centre for Peace, Disarmament and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean (UNLIREC) developed the Caribbean Firearms Roadmap. This framework provides timelines and baselines for implementing the Caribbean Firearms Trafficking Priority Actions.
To date, 12 Caribbean countries have drafted national action plans (NAPs) under the auspices of the Firearms Roadmap and Priority Actions. The United States stands ready to help countries implement their individualized priorities, plans, and timelines upon completion of their respective national action plans.
Operational Successes
In March 2022, through Operation CITADEL, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) deployed agents and analysts throughout the Caribbean Region to bolster firearms smuggling investigations and intelligence sharing capabilities. HSI Operation CITADEL efforts and multiple HSI-led international controlled deliveries resulted in 111 firearm related seizures, to include 446 firearms and 188,256 rounds of ammunition.
In September 2022, law enforcement officers from 19 Caribbean countries along with INTERPOL; CARICOM; World Customs Organization; the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF); and HSI cooperated on a joint operation that led to the seizure of 350 weapons, 3,300 rounds of ammunition, and 10 tons of cocaine.
