In May 2019 a workshop was convened at the National University of Singapore (NUS)* for the purpose of understanding and synthesising current knowledge on the state of relations between host communities and refugees in Southeast Asia. (For convenience, ‘refugee’ is used to mean asylum seekers, refugees and other forced migrants who have crossed international borders.)
The event brought together academics, advocates and practitioners primarily from or with expertise on Southeast Asia for two days of discussion in a closed setting. Four countries, comprising the largest refugee-hosting or -producing countries in the region – Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand – were the main focus of debate.
The main refugee-hosting countries of Southeast Asia have hosted refugee populations for decades: Thailand for at least thirty-five years, Malaysia for at least twenty-five years, and Indonesia for at least fifteen years
The workshop took the following assumptions as its starting point: (1) that the absence of robust domestic legislation addressing refugees was to be expected; (2) that what might be called the ‘refugee environment’ in each country was marked by significant legal, temporal, spatial and cultural diversity; (3) that the region’s experience with hosting refugees was not a recent phenomenon; and (4) that particular attention would be given to the role played by non-state actors.
The report presented here does not seek to cover all the issues discussed at the workshop. Rather, it presents a selective synthesis of what we believe are the key themes and concerns expressed by the participants. The report offers a range of conclusions and findings based on individual and collective knowledge while also identifying gaps in our knowledge and issues that need more research.
Historical backdrop
Forced migrants have been crossing national and imperial borders in Southeast Asia since the time of the Japanese occupation (1942–1945) and the ensuing period of decolonisation. Border crossings have taken place on land and by sea, but especially the former. Many forcibly displaced people have been assimilated into border communities and become accepted as legal residents with the passage of time. A flood of refugees entered Southeast Asia and Hong Kong following the formation of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Throughout, however, refugee admissions have largely taken place within a legal vacuum.
Most independent Southeast Asian countries, with the particular exception of the Philippines (1981), have neither signed the United Nations (UN) Refugee Convention of 1951 nor crafted domestic legislation on refugees. Some regional countries did participate in the Asian-African Legal Consultative Committee’s deliberations on refugee policy, which led to the Bangkok Principles (1966), a non-binding statement of state obligations and recommendations on dealing with refugee populations.
Most observers would agree that the turning point with regard to regional refugee policies was the multiple military, political and humanitarian crises that came to a head in the mid-1970s with the reunification of Vietnam and the fall of the Cambodian monarchy. It was from this moment that Southeast Asian countries collectively resisted acknowledging asylum seekers as persons entitled to special consideration under customary international law, insisting instead that finding a solution to the ‘Indochina refugee crisis’, as it came to be called, was the responsibility of the international community.
In some cases, Southeast Asian states returned asylum seekers involuntarily to their country of origin; in others, they defined their role as countries of transit and temporary residence for refugees who were to be resettled elsewhere in the world. This dominant understanding – of Southeast Asian states as countries of transit and temporary residence – has shaped regional policies with regard to refugees ever since.
Transitory and temporary
This understanding is no longer tenable. While recent developments at the global level may have exacerbated the problem (the rise in nationalist and populist sentiments in the global North means developed states are increasingly unwilling to fulfil their legal obligations for refugee resettlement), Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia have de facto been countries of final destination for refugees since at least the mid-1980s. The governments of these countries have been loath to accept this understanding of their status and continue to shape their refugee policies – to the extent that they even exist – based on assumptions of transitory impermanence.
Moreover, the received understanding of the 1970s crisis as being the starting point of the Indochina refugee crisis has led to institutional and public amnesia around earlier refugee movements and the incorporation of displaced and moving communities into local populations. There is also little acknowledgement of the way the post-1970s geopolitical context informs how states in the region today respond to refugee movements.
These combined factors – an unwillingness to acknowledge refugees’ change of status and the loss of historical memory of refugee assimilation – continue to shape policy in the primary refugee-receiving states in Southeast Asia. Yet almost every decade since the 1980s has seen at least one wave of forced migration into neighbouring countries, with Myanmar being the prime and continuing source of refugee outflows in the region.
The main refugee-hosting countries of Southeast Asia have hosted refugee populations for decades: Thailand for at least thirty-five years, Malaysia for at least twenty-five years, and Indonesia for at least fifteen years. In the absence of formal acknowledgment of this condition, it is impossible for the practical experience gained as a result to be systematised or incorporated into institutional practice.
This hands-off approach leads to the existence of multiple sovereignties in practice, with informal and socially grounded authorities contesting the formal authority of the territorial state around refugee settlements. Seen from another standpoint, what this also means is that a generation (or more) of refugees in each country have grown up there and have no lived memory of any other place of residence. Repatriation to an ostensible homeland for these young people under these conditions is no longer a ‘durable solution’, but rather becomes forced exile from the only home they have known.
This mismatch between policy and experience, reflected in the distance between state actions (and inactions) and social reality, should not be understood as an anomaly or distortion but instead seen as a characteristic condition of the refugee environment in Southeast Asia. Moreover, such a gap is not entirely malign, as it opens up a zone of ambiguity that, on many occasions, has been to the benefit both of the refugees seeking sanctuary and a means of livelihood as well as their hosts and civil society advocates offering informal protection and aid.
Refugee locations
Not all refugees are found in refugee camps. Many are residents on the margins of global cities. They may also be found in transit to a third country, in rural borderlands among ethnic kin, and incarcerated in detention centres as ‘irregular migrants’, among other sites. Each location is a distinct environment, making the character of interactions between asylum seekers and host communities hugely dependent on place.
While hospitality and hostility recur as the dominant tropes in the refugee studies literature to describe the relationship between refugees and host communities, this binary may not be the most useful frame of reference in Southeast Asia. This is due both to the conceptual limits of the guest/stranger/outsider categories that shape the refugee studies literature, and because a range of other affective relations and practices may be more relevant, from pity and charity to the religious duty to offer sanctuary to those in need.
Length of stay – a major fault line of the hospitality literature – does not appear to be prominent among the factors shaping relations between host communities and refugees in Southeast Asia. Further, there is huge variation in the extent to which the refugee is perceived as guest, outsider or stranger, based on social class, skin colour (the lighter the better), geographical origin (in general, Africans and Rohingya are treated worse than other Southeast Asian refugees), religious affiliation, proximity of the originating country, mode of arrival (air, land or sea; visa overstay or illegal entry), local understanding of the reasons for flight and, not least, linguistic familiarity.
Not surprisingly, local politics matter too. In one well-known case in eastern Malaysia (the notorious Project IC), official identity cards were handed out to irregular migrants from the Philippines in order to shape the outcome of the national elections in favour of the governing party.
If refugees are found in diverse locations, equally diverse are the ‘host’ communities they encounter and interact with. These can include local shopkeepers and urban neighbours, landlords and criminal gangs, labour recruiters, village leaders, local politicians and employers, civil society groups and advocates, religious organisations and places of worship, to name just the most common.
The state is likewise encountered at many scales and places, from the local beat policeman to the district police station and detention centres, health workers, nurses and doctors, immigration officials, court translators, prosecutors and judges. These officials often have different understandings or concerns regarding refugees and irregular migrants, adding to the ambiguities and gaps between the law and practice.
Private sector entities may also be part of the refugee experience, as when Malaysia attempted to outsource refugee registration to a digital start-up company, or when refugees attempt to open bank accounts or access remittance transfers from overseas. Finally, there are multilateral agencies such as the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organisation for Migration, international advocacy groups, international charities, and aid and relief providers: all of these are another kind of ‘host’.
‘Informal’ protection
The protection of asylum seekers is considered an irreplaceable standard by international lawyers and refugee advocates, making the idea of ‘informal protection’ an oxymoron. By this measure, protection is assumed to be missing in the absence of a formal legal framework, often leading advocates to push for legislation which explicitly protects refugees from – in particular – involuntary return or ‘refoulement’ (returning a forced migrant to a country where they would be at risk of persecution).
Without questioning the importance of non-refoulement as a universal principle of refugee protection, there are also everyday modes of protection that exceed a narrow legal definition. Just as informality should be understood as a normal social condition with its own practices and opportunities, protection can also emerge from gaps and ambiguities in the law.
In Thailand, advocates have used universal obligations imposed by other international laws – notably, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention for the Elimination of Discrimination against Women – to permit refugee children to be enrolled in public schools and for women to be released from detention centres. In Malaysia and Indonesia, civil society organisations and religious charities offer informal modes of protection through refugee schools, medical camps, home-based work and literacy programmes.
Informality may even be embedded in formal practices by recognised agencies. In Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, asylum seekers can register with the UNHCR to be recognised as refugees. Given the huge backlog of applications in the UNHCR field offices, it is not uncommon for there to be delays of up to three years before interviews determining refugee status are conducted. In the interim, most asylum seekers have little option but to enter into illicit and sometimes illegal relationships with landlords and employers simply in order to survive.
While the UNHCR cannot acknowledge this openly, it is aware that, given this delay in processing, registered asylum seekers have no choice but to join the informal sector. For legitimate asylum seekers who are denied refugee status in error, there is also little option but to seek refuge in the informal sector, given the risks entailed in returning to their original homes. Informality, in other words, is an everyday and ubiquitous condition in the Southeast Asian refugee environment, while protection comes in many forms, including economic, cultural and social.
The ambivalent nature of possibilities opened up through ‘informal protection’ poses particular challenges for refugees and their advocates. For some asylum seekers, a degree of sustainable protection may be found outside the law, through fortunate conjunctures of goodwill, hospitality and/or faith-based charity. However, these are ‘non-durable solutions’ which can be lost at a moment’s notice in the absence of formal protection. The concern expressed by advocates is that if regional states are pressed too hard to accept the de facto reality that they are no longer ‘temporary transit’ spaces, they may see no other option but to crack down on even these small spaces of refuge made possible through informality.
Given the range of possibilities produced by the intersections between informality and protection, formalising legal protections may paradoxically end up imposing additional burdens on asylum seekers, including onerous conditions for being recognised as a refugee and legal restrictions on working. While informality carries no small cost in terms of its precarity, it also offers needed benefits that cannot be ignored, especially the chance to work and make a living. When the informal sector becomes the locus of attention, the asylum seeker waiting to be awarded refugee status by the international community becomes indistinguishable from the irregular migrant who has crossed borders looking for work.
Criminality and rights
‘Mixed’ migration is now a characteristic feature of international migration flows around the world. In the informal sectors of global cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Jakarta, internal migrants live alongside undocumented international migrants, while political refugees join with ‘economic’ migrants seeking work, making it difficult for state authorities to separate and distinguish ‘legitimate residents’ from irregular migrants due to their incomplete or partial legibility.
With the fear of international terrorism amplified due to endless conflicts and constantly reiterated through public anxiety, many governments have come to see all migration-related problems through the lens of state insecurity, leading to the denial of established rights and protections in the interests of public safety. This tendency has been given institutional shape through Australia’s effort to prevent refugees from reaching their shores in the form of its notorious turn-back policy (Operation Sovereign Borders), which effectively criminalises asylum seekers and places the burden of interdiction on ‘transit’ countries.
Host governments are also concerned about political activism among refugee populations, for fear of endangering inter-state relations with neighbours. This concern is an especially fraught one in Southeast Asia, given the importance awarded to the norm of non-interference in the domestic affairs of other regional states. These tendencies have led to a weakening of informal refugee protection, with no sustainable alternatives emerging. In addition, it must be recognised that in environments where the protection of citizenship and the provision of economic rights are in abeyance, working to strengthen the rights of refugees may generate hostile local reactions.
Efforts by the international community to protect refugees by awarding them universal rights can lead to them being seen as a special and unwelcome category within the informal sector, a setting where citizens and migrants alike have a weak claim on the privileges of citizenship (public service delivery, right to a livelihood, etc.) and find themselves in competition for scarce jobs and economic resources.
This report seeks to reminds us of a long and largely forgotten history of refugee inclusion and asylum provision in a number of Southeast Asian states that are not signatories to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention. It also affirms a quality of refugee protection that is at odds with the hostility currently projected at asylum seekers by numerous developed states that have signed the Convention.
The report identifies the current policy vacuum in the region as the outcome of contemporary denial, itself a product of historical amnesia and overemphasis on the received memory of the Indochina refugee crisis dating back to the 1970s. It offers an alternative historical account of the refugee environment in Southeast Asia, emphasising the diversity of refugee and host community identities and the ensuing complexity of their mutual relations.
The report also points to the increased securitisation of international migration flows and its negative implications for urban refugees in particular. Finally, the report acknowledges the latent tension between marginal and subaltern host communities and refugees when the selective provision of universal rights becomes the main focus of refugee advocacy.
Informality – the prevailing condition of the refugee environment in Southeast Asia – is not an unmitigated bad, this report argues. Yet for all the short-term possibilities that informality offers in the context of a legal vacuum, it would be irresponsible to propose that it produces desirable or sustainable outcomes, whether for refugees or other irregular migrants. While all refugee crises are by definition transnational and regional, seeking a purely regional or international solution to the problems faced and produced by refugees does not appear to be practical.
There are at least two reasons for this. The first is the political unwillingness of Southeast Asian states to hold responsible the main cause of regional refugee flows, namely, Myanmar. The second is the effective breakdown of the international refugee regime, with so many countries now behaving in ways which explicitly violate their obligations under the UN Refugee Convention, most notably the United States and Australia.
While there are no easy or individual answers to these problems, some of us believe there is greater hope for sustainable solutions at the national (or in some cases sub-national) level, while others insist there is still space for international/regional action in order to stabilise the system, not least burden-sharing. Some judicious combination of the two levels is probably the most effective response.
State officials rarely want to take the lead in designing new refugee policies for fear of engendering pull forces that attract refugees to their shores. They may well be right, although there is no research-based evidence to support this conclusion. What does remain true is that, by and large and with some exceptions, national publics have often shown a willingness to be tolerant and welcoming of forcibly displaced communities.
Bridging this gap between states and their societies is an enormous challenge that is made worse by the limited time available to make it happen: it is obvious that this problem is only going to get worse and will be experienced more indiscriminately in the future as the numbers of forcibly displaced people around the world increase – for reasons which go beyond the political, including climate change and natural disasters. Given what we already know, it is important to explore solutions that do not begin with the elimination of informality.
Looking ahead, we consider there are two urgent imperatives. First, that academics and the policy research community produce the evidence and analysis needed to underpin innovative and sustainable responses to refugee movements, beginning with contemporary and historical experience rather than unfounded assumptions about the nature of the refugee environment. And second, that national governments in the region, despite their non-signatory status, find ways to come to terms with the fact that they are simultaneously countries of transit and of temporary, short-term and long-term residence for refugees, and then develop policies from that starting point.
It is clear that the status quo cannot continue indefinitely and that active rather than reactive or passive stances are needed now.

Jesus Christ Superstar is a rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber, with lyrics by Tim Rice. First staged on Broadway in 1971, it highlights political and interpersonal struggles between Judas Iscariot and Jesus. The opera is based very loosely on the Gospels' account of the last week of Jesus' life, beginning with the preparation for the arrival of Jesus and his disciples in Jerusalem, and ending with the Crucifixion.

The Strange Land releases cassette under new name
One of our favorite up-and-coming bands of 2014, Michael & the Strange Land, has dropped the "Michael &" and are now simply The Strange Land.

The self titled album is available on 75 hand-painted and hand-numbered cassettes Grabbing Clouds Records, and you can stream it below. The Strange Land - S/T by Grabbing Clouds Records and Tapes To celebrate the name change and the cassette, The Strange Land is hosting [...]

If for some strange reason you still haven't been watching them, they dropped a swirling, fuzzy gem of a track with "Specter" earlier this month and are playing our Rock N Roll Holiday Spectacular TOMORROW. WATCH THEM, PEOPLE. Specter by [...]

Daylight Savings: Helpful or Hoax?
Nicholas Melvin
Dragging oneself out of bed each and every godless morning is a challenge that can only be conquered with our humanly form of ambrosia: coffee. But once a year, there is a Monday so despicable that not even the warm juice of South American beans can shake us from the firm grasp of shadowy sleep. This is “Sleepy Monday.”
Twice a year, we are asked by the U.S. Department of Transportation to change the time on our clocks, either moving them an hour forward or setting them an hour back. Depending on who you ask, the reason behind this varies. Some say that it’s to help farmers, some say it’s a government plot to keep citizens too tired to lead revolutions and some will even claim that it’s because every once in awhile the universe lags and Earth’s orbit freezes for a short period of time.
Unsurprisingly, all of these people are grossly misinformed. The real motivation for the time change that we all wholeheartedly despise is to save energy.
Daylight savings time was utilized by Germany first during their premier attempt at world domination to save coal for the war effort. Those darned Germans thought that if more of the day’s sunlight was utilized, there would be less of a necessity for electricity.
The logic behind this, unlike the logic behind Gavrilo Princip’s actions, was sound; unfortunately, it did not work — or, at least, it does not in our modern equivalent of the 1910s.
Studies have shown time and time again that daylight savings time does not save energy, but actually wastes it. A study done in Indiana found that during daylight savings time, a whopping one percent more energy was used in residential areas. This may not seem “whopping,” as it was previously described by yours truly, but given the fact that setting our clocks back is supposed to decrease energy usage. The fact that it does not just have no effect on energy usage but that it increases is absurd.
Along with this, daylight savings time has severely negative effects on the people who are forced to alter their entire lives at the request of our sovereign government. During daylight savings time, people are less alert as a result of a change in their circadian rhythm. This leads to an increase in automobile accidents, as well as an increase in accidents in dangerous working environments, such as mines and construction sites. Additionally, health is directly affected by the changing of our clocks. The rate of heart attacks increased by roughly five percent in the first three days following the clocks being sprung forth.Cluster headaches have also been shown to be triggered by the shifting of the clocks in either direction.
Another issue with daylight savings time is that so-called “standard” time is only in place for an insignificant four months of the year, leaving us in “daylight savings time” for the remaining two-thirds of the year. If “standard” time is standard, then why in the world is it only in place for a third of the year? Why do we not just call daylight savings time standard, and call the other four months daylight wasting time?
This injustice is more than just an inconvenience; it is a serious problem that must be addressed as soon as humanly possible. So stand to protect our precious hours of comatic-rest, and protest the power that the corrupt Department of Transportation has exerted over us citizens.

Jared Saltiel announces “Dream Song” EP
Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Jared Saltiel can often be found working behind the scenes, channeling his talents as a string arranger, producer, and composer for the stage. A manic multi-instrumentalist in the vein of Jon Brion, his original music taps into his gifts for orchestration and atmospherics, receiving comparisons to chamber pop icons Rufus Wainwright and Sufjan Stevens. With his acerbic wit and crafty narrative constructions, Saltiel is a compelling lyricist and an unapologetic perfectionist. Today he releases “A Stranger, Your Name” – the first taste of his new EP, Dream Song, out on March 24 via Adhyâropa Records. Watch the video for “A Stranger, Your Name” here.
A soul-searching record written entirely during the peak of social distancing, the shadow of unprocessed grief hangs over this haunting new collection of songs, ranging in style from spacey indie rock to baroque singer-songwriter pop. Performing the vast majority of the instrumentation himself, Saltiel worked with producer/engineer and longtime collaborator Ken Rich (Ingrid Michaelson, Son Lux) to help craft the detailed sonic textures.
Despite the rich, full-bodied sound, Dream Song is a very intimate affair, with the only other contributors being Maxim Moston on violin (Antony & the Johnsons, Rufus Wainwright), and Emily Hope Price on cello (Pearl & the Beard, Kishi Bashi). No matter the topic, be it ghosts, fascists, infatuation, or Exodus, these songs seek out disquieting ambiguities with uncompromising honesty.
Of Dream Song, Saltiel shares: “There’s a throughline of deeply penetrating introspection in these songs. There’s very little that’s performative or self-conscious about the material; it’s like the songs are not concerned with the outside world, only interested in going deeper. And I think this record manages to exist in that space without feeling self-indulgent because there’s that sense that nobody’s watching. It’s just a sincere attempt to process some really heavy experiences.”
Of “A Stranger, Your Name,” out today, Saltiel shares: “When I first came up with this guitar part, it just sounded like a wedding to me. I had this cynical idea of writing the kind of semi-cheesy song that brides would want to walk down the aisle to. But when I tried, I quickly realized I was constitutionally incapable of doing that unless it was completely sincere, which it wasn’t. Instead, this sad, enigmatic story came out. It’s not autobiographical, but I’ve had my fair share of tragic romances so I can easily imagine being in the narrator’s shoes.”
Regarding its accompanying video: “A lot of my songs tell stories in the lyrics, so when it comes to music videos I often run into the same basic quandary of how to visualize the narrative without just literally depicting the plot of the song, line by line. Talking to Abner [music video director; lead singer of the band Eighty Ninety] about ‘A Stranger, Your Name,’ we felt like the ambiguity of the lyrics was a core element of the song, certainly not an accident, so we decided to embrace that rather than force the viewer into a particular interpretation. The guiding concept for the video was “wedding meets funeral,” a phrase that came to me in the shower, like many good ideas. That was the jumping-off point for a lot of the stark contrasts in the video, in color, movement, costume, etc. I guess the question was – how do we show that this is the happiest day in somebody’s life while also being the saddest day in somebody else’s? And moreover, how can we do that in a way where we’re not totally sure who’s who?”
Jared Saltiel will celebrate the release of Dream Song with a live performance on Friday, March 24 at NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall, Stage 3. Tickets are available now.

1 Tree of Life
2 Infinite Mercy

The Merienda with… interview series is an interview with an actor, filmmaker, producer, writer or anyone else who wants to wants to hang out with me, eat some food and/or have some drinks. In Tagalog, “merienda” means afternoon snack, but to me, it encompasses any time of day and it doesn’t really need to be a snack. It can be a full meal, just coffee, or drinks. Most of all, it reminds me of the times when my family or friends would have “merienda” and talk about our days or just gossip. It was all about connection and catching up. Merienda with… reflects exactly that with cool people doing amazing things in the industry as we talk about their journeys, identity, hot topic issues or just random stuff. All the while, we eat and drink because food brings people closer together.
On today’s Merienda with Soo Hugh menu
Location: Boxwood at the London in Los Angeles
Hugh ordered a club soda.
I ordered a ginger beer and crab toast.
The Boxwood in the London is one of those restaurants that makes clear it’s cool and not your normal hotel restaurant. It is definitely an L.A. vibe but also it gives me HD Buttercup furniture store energy. It’s quirkiness doesn’t exactly have the intergenerational, epic family drama energy of the forthcoming series Pachinko but if you watch the opening credits to the series (which debuts the first three of eight episodes March 25) there is a jolt of fun in the otherwise heavy and emotional series from showrunner Soo Hugh.
In fact, the opening credits of the series might be a little misleading to those who are totally unaware of the book. The opening credits to Pachinko features an all-star cast including Oscar winner Yuh-Jung Youn, dreamy K-drama icon Lee Minho, the talented Hamilton alum Jin Ha, mesmerizing newcomer Minha Kim as well as Yu-na Jeon, Steve Sanghyun Noh, and Soji Arai dancing to the the 1967 hit “Let’s Live For Today” by The Grass Roots in a pachinko parlor. It’s very appropriate and wildly fun to watch. (You can easily find “unofficial” videos of the credits online, but I won’t post here because you should experience them for the first time when you watch the series this week.)

Hugh admits that they didn’t know if they were going to be able to film the opening credits sequence because of the cast’s hectic schedule. Luckily, they were able to schedule two days for the shoot. “It was crazy and so run and gun,” Hugh tells DIASPORA. “We didn’t know what song we were going to use but it was some of the best two days of shooting. It was so much fun.”
Hugh adds that they wanted to use a Rolling Stones song, but the price tag was a little to hefty. Even so “Let’s Live For Today” seems very appropriate for the series. The result is an iconic opening credits that is definitely cut from the same cloth as James Gunn’s Peacemaker. “I like opening credits, but the challenge was to make opening credits that they will never skip over,” says Hugh.
…and I guarantee you will not skip over them while watching each of its eight episodes.
Some people who don’t like to have fun would probably say concentrating too much on the opening credits sequence is trivial, but for Pachinko it is an important element of the series to balance out the wildly emotional story of family dysfunction, generational trauma, a clash between cultures, forbidden romance, and immigrant identity over four generations.
“This is our gift to the audience,” explains Hugh. “No matter what our characters go through, at the core there is exuberance.”
Min Jin Lee‘s historical fiction novel Pachinko was released in 2017 and quickly became a go-to book for Asians and Asian Americans as it tells the history between Korea and Japan through the lens of a specific family over the course of many decades. It was definitely one of those books that would spark the question “Have you read Pachinko?!” within the Asian community. If you didn’t read it, you weren’t hip to the times.
With Hugh at the helm of the series as writer, executive producer and showrunner, Pachinko chronicles the hopes and dreams of a Korean immigrant family across four generations as they leave their homeland in a quest to survive and thrive.
Starting in South Korea in the early 1900s, the story is told through the eyes of a remarkable matriarch, Sunja (played by Yu-na Jeon, Minha Kim, and Yuh-Jung Youn across the decades) who triumphs against all odds. It juxtaposes her story with that of her grandson, Solomon (Jin Ha), in the 1980s.
Without a doubt, this story is so vast and sprawling that it is probably a challenge to adapt. And it’s way too much to fit into an eight episode season (as of the publishing of this article, a second season hasn’t been announced). However, being the talent she is, Hugh was up for the challenge — but would you believe that she avoided reading the book when her agent first brought it to her four years ago?
“I heard about the book and I knew it was amazing,” Hugh says as she sips on her pristine glass of club soda and I attempt to control myself and not shove the crab toast in my mouth like a heathen. “I was just finishing up a show that was another, complicated international show. I avoided the book because I didn’t want to fall in love with it because these international big productions take a toll on you after a while.”
She continued, “I was on the plane one time and read the book — it’s an incredible book. Just reading it, images and possibilities started popping up [in my head].” More importantly, Hugh, who was born in Korea, added that the story started to fill in “blank spaces” in her family history. When members of her family read the book, it became a spark for them to talk about things that were never talked about.
“Growing up as a kid, you think your parents must have had no life,” she says. “You just assume, ‘Oh, the reason why they don’t talk about it is because there’s nothing to talk about.’ I think reading Pachinko makes you realize that’s not true. The reason why you don’t talk about it is because it’s still being worked on, it’s still being reckoned with. [The book] really jump started a conversation personally as well.”
Hugh immigrated from Korea to the United States at a young age. Her parents were working class and she lived in the white suburbs. When it came to connecting with her cultural identity, she says that the church was her main link to Koreans.
“I loved church because it was this anchor point for me, but what happens is you learn to code shift very early in life, and for me, I think you don’t want to ever make waves growing up because you don’t ever want to be singled out, and you also learn to be risk averse — that’s for me, at least. I don’t want to generalize it,” she says.
She describes her childhood as being very independent as her and her brother were “classic latchkey keys”. She feels that all of this contributes to how she navigated her identity. When she discovered film, it was a watershed moment.
“I fell in love with film at a very early age, because I think originally when I watched movies and TV, it helped me understand the world I was living in; it helped me understand whiteness,” Hugh points out. “But then, what happens is, because there was no other representation besides whiteness, you absorb the whiteness. So, when I think about doing a show like Pachinko now, I think, ‘God, what would it have been like if I had seen a show this when I was 12 years old?'”
As the Hollywood landscape continues to evolve when it comes to representation in front of and behind the camera, Hugh had quite the task to sculpt Pachinko from its source material. She, along with the Pachinko team conducted a global search for the cast, build an inclusive writers room and find the right directors. All of this and more during a pandemic no less.
Hugh posed a lot of conversations for creating the writers room and finding directors. Even though this is an Asian narrative, she tells DIASPORA that not all writers in the room were Asian. The room consisted of seven other people besides herself: there was a Korean American poet, a Korean playwright, a Korean American male screenwriter, a Chinese American playwright, a Nigerian American playwright, and a white Jewish guy. In order to diversify voices and create this world through the eyes of the family in Pachinko, they did an exercise where the writer would put themselves in one of the character’s shoes, which created a sense of empathy.
“Sometimes a writer will say ‘I really just don’t get this character’ or “I hate this character'” says Hugh. From there she suggested that the writer talk like the character and be the character. This allowed the writers to approach this fraught dialogue and help elevate the authenticity of the narrative.
Before landing on Kogonada and Justin Chon as directors, Hugh said there were discussions and conversations as to whether the director should be Korean or Korean American or an immigrant in general.
“You ask all the big questions and then you meet all these directors — and it just becomes very intuitive,” she says. That’s what I find interesting about these big conversations. Sometimes when you just start engaging, things just become naturally intuitive about what to do. I think I said, ‘I’m not going to have any hard rules’ but it became very clear that you do not, you cannot fully absorb this story unless you have that connection. And so, with Justin and K, they both come from very different backgrounds, they’re both two very different filmmakers.”
Hugh describes Kogonada and Chon as “night and day” but at the same time, they connect deeply with the heart of Pachinko. The feel this narrative in their bones.

You don’t have to be Korean, Japanese, Asian, Asian American, or an immigrant to feel this story in your soul. It’s a story that is about family — in a Fast & Furious way but very elevated. Just because the series is in languages (the majority of the series is in Korean and Japanese) that many don’t speak , doesn’t mean that there can’t be a connection. Again, this goes back to creating a sense empathy.
At one moment during our merienda, I talk to about one scene in Pachinko that takes place in the ’80s. Solomon (Jin Ha) is visiting his grandmother, Sunja (Yuh-Jung Youn). We see Sunja sitting on her porch wrapped in a blanket deep in thought and Solomon comes and sits next to her. Not much dialogue is spoken, but the emotion is palpable.
I told Hugh while watching Sunja sit there, I saw my grandmother, who died in 2019. I saw her in Yuh-Jung’s face. I saw the struggle. I saw the hope. I saw the love. I saw myself in Solomon sitting next to her. When I explain this to Hugh, I immediately start crying. I apologize for my tears and Hugh grabs by hands and says, “Don’t hold back…” as I hear her voice break as well.
As I wipe away the tears to prevent them from falling into my crab toast, I explain how that one scene speaks to me in why representation matters. It made me feel less alone. It made me feel understood and it also made me see my grandmother again.

We live in a post-Crazy Rich Asians era where we are seeing plenty of projects bolstering representation and Pachinko will add to the conversation, but the country — and the world for that matter — are wildly distant from where we need to be in terms of the portrayal of Asians in film, TV and media as well as the treatment of Asians in real life. Asian hate crimes are surging and Hollywood is still passive about perpetuating stereotypes that harm the community.
Within the past couple of months, films have included scenes that basically dehumanize Asians or treat Asian characters as a butt of joke. One of them is Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza which includes a white restaurant owner, played by John Michael Higgins using a fake Asian accent while talking to his Japanese wife. He doesn’t just do this once, but twice. It immediately garnered a backlash.
In a response to the backlash, Anderson told IndieWire: “It’s kind of like, ‘Huh?'” before saying “I don’t know if it’s a ‘Huh’ with a dot dot dot. It’s funny because it’s hard for me to relate to.”
Anderson adds, “I don’t know. I’m lost when it comes to that. To me, I’m not sure what they— you know, what is the problem? The problem is that he was an idiot saying stupid shit?” The “he” in this is Higgins’s character.
There’s a lot of “huhs” and “I don’t knows” in his answer.
After IndieWire tried to explain that the scenes basically give the audience permission to laugh at the yellowface accent rather than Higgins, Anderson said, “I don’t know, maybe that’s a possibility” He went on to say “I’m certainly capable of missing the mark… but on the other hand, I guess I’m not sure how to separate what my intentions were from how they landed.”
When we discuss Licorice Pizza and other unsavory moments in recent films including the Asian man being targeted in the first 10 minutes of The Batman and one particular ignorant review of Turning Red by a white man from CinemaBlend, Hugh has some thoughts.
“I have not seen [Licorice Pizza],” she says. “I feel [Paul Thomas Anderson] can make whatever he wants, but he also can’t complain if he’s taken to task for it. That’s the conversation. It’s the people who don’t want to engage. They’re like, ‘Oh, that’s stupid. I’m not going to be in it’ and then you’re like, ‘That’s not right. When you make something, you’re putting it out in the public. You have to engage with that dialogue.'”
She continues, “So, to say like, ‘Oh, that’s not my intention — that is a dumb argument. I’m out of it’ is a cop out. The other thing that I keep hearing these days are like, ‘Oh, now white people are just scared to do anything because you people just are so sensitive’ and what I say to that is if you’s lived in my shoes, you’d be really sensitive too. No shit, Sherlock.”
On top of the scrutiny and abuse Asians have been receiving as of late, there seems to be infighting within the Asian community that no one really talks about. We can point to Chon’s Blue Bayou as well as the harsh criticism faced by Simu Liu before, during and after Shang Chi. Now, we can’t prove that they were getting attacked by fellow Asians, but if you’re in Asian Hollywood, it’s present. There are many conversations about Asian shows or films being not Asian enough or being too Asian or not representing the culture properly, etc. etc. This is in and outside of the Asian community.
This Asian-on-Asian infighting isn’t seen by the general public, but behind closed doors, I guarantee you that every Asian in Hollywood has a story — including Hugh.
“We’re cannibalizing ourselves,” she says bluntly. “It’s so complicated because on one hand we want to stand together and stand strong because there’s power in numbers. It’d be stupid not to know that. At the same time, part of our mission is to teach the world that being Asian is not a monolith — how do we make sure that people tell us apart? We’re not the same. And this is what identity politics is, we’re constantly fighting two fronts of the war.”
Pachinko is an adaptation of a beloved book about two communities in the Asian diaspora and it is also a fictionalized version of history. It has a lot of points that can be scrutinized and attacked when it comes to representation — particularly by the Korean and Japanese community, because that is what this series is depicting. In addition, the scarcity of Asian content puts Pachinko under a microscope to be examined right down to what Sunja’s traditional wardrobe and how she makes kimchi.
When I ask Hugh if she is worried about any backlash that the adaptation may receive she says, “I don’t put any of that on me, and the reason why is this: I know what I made. I know it was made with integrity. At some point, you don’t all have to love everything, and I hope the Japanese and Korean community watch the show and engage with it. I hope they understand that so much work was put into empathy but at the end of the day, if I allowed that to haunt me, I wouldn’t be able to make this. I made peace with this because I’ve definitely been on the receiving end of being [criticized].”
Being the cynic I am, I tell Hugh that I don’t think we will ever get proper Asian representation in Hollywood and that the infighting will prevent us from achieving equity — but I will still do the work to get as close to it as possible.
“As you get older and older and see the world making the same mistakes over and over again, the cynicism comes in,” says Hugh. “At the same time, when I look at the new generation, the ones coming up in their 20s, they are so strong. Right away, they call bullshit when something is wrong. At 22, I did not have that voice. Even that self-awareness this new generation has about identity, sexuality, gender — you got to think it’s going to sow some fertile ground, hopefully.”
I tell Hugh that I hope Pachinko could be a series that unites the Asian community like the book did, but also gives those outside the Asian diaspora a story that helps understand the culture and encourages them to read more narratives about the Asian and Asian American experience.
“We’re in an awkward transition stage,” says Hugh in regards to the state of the Asian community. “What we’re all fighting for is the same thing, we just don’t know how to get there. The reason why we don’t know how to get there is because the roadmaps aren’t clear — because the dominant ideology keeps changing the rules on us.
She adds, “They want us to cannibalize each other. We do their jobs for them. We’re going through an awkward transition phase and we just have to fight through this and hope with as much dignity as possible.” | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4210 | {"url":

If you have many physical activities throughout the day, make sure you get the necessary food and rest to keep your body healthy.
That’s going to depend on you. If you return to your unhealthy habits, then there’s a chance to gain back all of that weight. Luckily, the program helps you eliminate those cravings. It enables you to build a healthy eating habit to keep that weight off permanently.
To help you live a healthier lifestyle after you’re done with the program, there’s a section dedicated that will help you transition back into your regular eating patterns. Every now and then you’ll be consuming the smoothies but it won’t be as frequent as you did before. This will allow you to live a healthier lifestyle after the program.
The smoothie recipes contain vegetables and fruits. Although they are healthy, they also contain sugar. Consult with your doctor or nutritionist first. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4212 | {"url": "https://thegardenofeatingdiet.com/is-it-okay-to-have-a-smoothie-on-the-south-beach-diet/", "partition":

This is one of our favorite photographs that shows the white rabbit who’s about to be a model for our white rabbit photography series. This photo was taken on the beach and shows the bunny hopping across the sand. We have many more of these soft-focus shots that show the bunny, her friends, and their antics in the wild.
You can see the bunny herself hopping across the sand in the image above. This is a soft-focus shot, so it shows the bunny as a small person against the background. In real life this would be a very different image, with the bunny in a much larger shape.
We’ve just been asked about our white rabbit photography series. The image above is a series of soft-focus shot of the bunny hopping across the sand. The bunny is a small person against a background. In real life this would be a very different image, with the bunny in a much larger shape. We’ve just been asked about our white rabbit photography series. The image above is a series of soft-focus shot of the bunny hopping across the sand.
The second part of the bunny series is the best thing about the series, because the bunny is much more complex and difficult to photograph. This series also includes a bunny in a very large shape, not as soft focus. The rabbit in a larger shape is also more difficult to photograph, but there are some neat images in this series.
The bunny series does not make any money for Arkane and its owner, but we are very proud of our work.
This rabbit series is based on our own bunny photography as well. Our friends over on Reddit are very supportive of our work, and we hope that this series will help encourage other artists to create more bunny photography.
We hope this series encourages others to consider the rabbit as a subject worth photographing. We hope that it helps other artists get more creative and unique.
Because we are white, we are often asked why we shoot rabbits. We always tell people we shoot animals because we love them. For the most part, all animals mean something to us, but some animals are more important to us than others. At the moment, we are shooting rabbits, but we hope to expand to all animals.
Because white is a color that is the most universally recognizable, we are often asked why we use a wide range of animal subjects. Because white is a color that works well with our personality, we are often asked to shoot animals that are all white, including ourselves. For example, we use the color white to create our “snowboard effect.” We use it to create our “ice cubes.” We use it to create our “ice cream cones.
There is a certain appeal to using a color that is universally recognizable. For example, the white of the snow, the whiteness of the snow, the whiteness of the snow on the ground, and the whiteness of our bodies are all extremely recognizable. Our eyes see white as well as any other color, so we can easily blend in with the background. By using a color that is universally recognizable, we can easily blend in with the background and we can easily blend in with people. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4213 | {"url": "https://theglitteringgraphics.com/white-rabbit-photography/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "theglitteringgraphics.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:02:08Z", "digest": "sha1:YXZW76ILCCMVL7T4VOAPUX7XRZL2VEEW"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3131, 3131.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3131, 4798.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3131, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3131, 74.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3131, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3131, 265.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3131, 0.48297214]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3131, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3131, 0.16333066]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3131, 0.32906325]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3131, 0.31665332]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3131, 0.26140913]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3131, 0.21176942]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3131, 0.16333066]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3131, 0.03843074]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3131, 0.04403523]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3131, 0.03202562]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3131, 0.10990712]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3131, 0.31514085]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3131, 4.39788732]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3131, 4.61583271]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3131, 568.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 67, 0.0], [67, 96, 0.0], [96, 418, 1.0], [418, 673, 1.0], [673, 1113, 1.0], [1113, 1443, 1.0], [1443, 1545, 1.0], [1545, 1768, 1.0], [1768, 1929, 1.0], [1929, 2239, 1.0], [2239, 2659, 1.0], [2659, 3131, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 67, 0.0], [67, 96, 0.0], [96, 418, 0.0], [418, 673, 0.0], [673, 1113, 0.0], [1113, 1443, 0.0], [1443, 1545, 0.0], [1545, 1768, 0.0], [1768, 1929, 0.0], [1929, 2239, 0.0], [2239, 2659, 0.0], [2659, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 42, 5.0], [42, 67, 3.0], [67, 96, 4.0], [96, 418, 59.0], [418, 673, 49.0], [673, 1113, 79.0], [1113, 1443, 61.0], [1443, 1545, 21.0], [1545, 1768, 39.0], [1768, 1929, 27.0], [1929, 2239, 58.0], [2239, 2659, 77.0], [2659, 3131, 86.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 67, 0.0], [67, 96, 0.0], [96, 418, 0.0], [418, 673, 0.0], [673, 1113, 0.0], [1113, 1443, 0.0], [1443, 1545, 0.0], [1545, 1768, 0.0], [1768, 1929, 0.0], [1929, 2239, 0.0], [2239, 2659, 0.0], [2659, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 42, 0.0], [42, 67, 0.0], [67, 96, 0.0], [96, 418, 0.0], [418, 673, 0.0], [673, 1113, 0.0], [1113, 1443, 0.0], [1443, 1545, 0.0], [1545, 1768, 0.0], [1768, 1929, 0.0], [1929, 2239, 0.0], [2239, 2659, 0.0], [2659, 3131, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 42, 0.04761905], [42, 67, 0.0], [67, 96, 0.03448276], [96, 418, 0.00931677], [418, 673, 0.01176471], [673, 1113, 0.01363636], [1113, 1443, 0.00909091], [1443, 1545, 0.01960784], [1545, 1768, 0.01345291], [1768, 1929, 0.01242236], [1929, 2239, 0.01290323], [2239, 2659, 0.01190476], [2659, 3131, 0.00847458]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3131, 0.52715445]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3131, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3131, 0.16256964]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3131, -90.41038341]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3131, 67.28131178]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3131, -138.68058402]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3131, 33.0]]} |

South Carolina House approves bill removing Confederate flag from Capitol grounds
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina House approved a bill removing the Confederate flag from the Capitol grounds, a stunning reversal in a state that was the first to leave the Union in 1860 and raised the flag again at its Statehouse more than 50 years ago to protest the civil rights movement.
The move early Thursday came after more than 13 hours of passionate and contentious debate, and just weeks after the fatal shootings of nine black church members, including a state senator, at a Bible study in Charleston.
“South Carolina can remove the stain from our lives,” said 64-year-old Rep. Joe Neal, a black Democrat first elected in 1992. “I never thought in my lifetime I would see this.”
The House easily approved the Senate bill by a two-thirds margin (94-20), and the bill now goes to Republican Gov. Nikki Haley’s desk. She supports the measure, which calls for the banner to come down within 24 hours of her signature.
“It is a new day in South Carolina, a day we can all be proud of, a day that truly brings us all together as we continue to heal, as one people and one state,” Haley said in a statement.
Her office said she will sign the bill quickly, but didn’t give a specific timeframe.
Haley herself reversed her position on the flag, saying the pain, grief and grace of the families of the victims in the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church caused her to realize that while some conservative whites saw the Confederate flag as a symbol of pride in their Southern ancestors, most of the blacks who make up a third of the state’s population see it as a dark reminder of a racist past.
The man charged in the shooting, Dylann Roof, brought that view home, telling survivors of the attack that he killed blacks because they were raping white women and taking over the country, according to witnesses. Roof also reportedly took photographs of himself holding the Confederate flag.
Earlier Wednesday, a group of Republicans had mounted opposition to immediately removing the flag, but at each turn, they were beaten back by a slightly larger, bipartisan group of legislators who believed there must be no delay.
As House members deliberated well into the night, there were tears of anger and shared memories of Civil War ancestors. Black Democrats, frustrated at being asked to show grace to Civil War soldiers as the debate wore on, warned the state was embarrassing itself.
Changing the Senate bill could have meant weeks or even months to remove the flag, perhaps blunting momentum that has grown since the church massacre.
Republican Rep. Jenny Horne reminded her colleagues she was a descendent of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, and scolded fellow members of her party for stalling the debate with dozens of amendments.
She cried as she remembered the funeral of her slain colleague state Sen. Clementa Pinckney, the pastor of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church, who was gunned down as his wife and daughter locked themselves in an office.
“For the widow of Sen. Pinckney and his two young daughters, that would be adding insult to injury and I will not be a part of it!” she screamed into a microphone.
She said later during a break she didn’t intend to speak but got frustrated with fellow Republicans.
Opponents of removing the flag talked about grandparents who passed down family treasures and lamented that the flag had been “hijacked” or “abducted” by racists.
Rep. Mike Pitts, who remembered playing with a Confederate ancestor’s cavalry sword while growing up, said for him the flag is a reminder of how dirt-poor Southern farmers fought Yankees not because they hated blacks or supported slavery, but because their land was being invaded.
Those soldiers should be respected just as soldiers who fought in the Middle East or Afghanistan, he said, recalling his own military service. Pitts then turned to a lawmaker he called a dear friend, recalling how his black colleague nearly died in Vietnam.
“I’m willing to move that flag at some point if it causes a twinge in the hearts of my friends,” Pitts said. “But I’ll ask for something in return.”
House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford said Democrats were united behind the Senate bill, which sends the flag to the state’s Confederate Relic Room — near the resting place for the rebel flag that flew over the Statehouse dome until it was taken down in 2000.
Democrats didn’t want any new flag going up because it “will be the new vestige of racism,” Rutherford said.
After a break around 8 p.m., Rutherford said Democrats were willing to let the other side make their points, but had grown tired. He said while much had been said about Confederate ancestors, “what we haven’t heard is talk about nine people slaughtered in a church.”
Democrats then finally began debating, saying they were angry with Republicans asking for grace for people who want to remember their Southern ancestors. Neal told of his ancestors, four brothers who were bought by slave owners with the last name Neal.
“The whole world is asking, is South Carolina really going to change, or will it hold to an ugly tradition of prejudice and discrimination and hide behind heritage as an excuse for it,” Neal said.
Other Democrats suggested any delay would let Ku Klux Klan members planning a rally July 18 a chance to dance around the Confederate flag.
“You don’t have to listen to me. But there are a whole lot of people outside this chamber watching,” Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter said.
The debate in the South Carolina House began less than a day after the U.S. House voted to ban the display of Confederate flags at historic federal cemeteries in the Deep South.
In Washington, the vote followed a brief debate on a measure funding the National Park Service, which maintains 14 national cemeteries, most of which contain graves of Civil War soldiers.
The proposal by California Democrat Jared Huffman would block the Park Service from allowing private groups to decorate the graves of Southern soldiers with Confederate flags in states that commemorate Confederate Memorial Day. The cemeteries affected are the Andersonville and Vicksburg cemeteries in Georgia and Mississippi.
Also Wednesday, state police said they were investigating an unspecified number of threats against South Carolina lawmakers debating the flag. Police Chief Mark Keel said lawmakers on both sides of the issue had been threatened, but he did not specify which ones.

Things that will help you lose weight and things that don’t matter
You DON’T need to fast.
Can you lose several pounds within the span of a several days by intermittently fasting? Absolutely, but studies show that such restrictions mean a decrease in carbohydrate – which causes a rapid depletion of glycogen along with the water that it is stored with. This weight loss is temporary and superficial at best and in most cases, the problems associated with prolonged fasting far outweigh the solution- making intermittent fasting questionable as even a short-term strategy.
You DON’T need tons of cardio.
Running on a treadmill for hours is not an efficient way to lose weight. When you just do cardio, your body slows down your metabolism to conserve energy (calories). Instead, choose workouts with a combination of interval training (alternating bouts of high and low intensity, like circuits & boxing) and weight training. These activities rev-up the metabolism because the body spends calories to repair and build new muscle as it recuperates from exercise. The new muscle also burns more calories at rest, and as with interval training there is an “after burn” effect boosting your metabolism all day long.
You DON’T need to buy a particular product.
Believing any one product can help you lose weight effortlessly usually involves gimmicky infomercials. Don’t waste money on products that promise you will lose weight while making no effort. The human body does not respond to tricks. Instead, focus on tried-and-true habits of healthy diet and regular exercise. It always comes back to the ratio of calories consumed versus calories burned. Ditto for workout routines. Instead of relying on a single type of exercise, make sure there is variety and cross-train by trying various ones. The more you try, the more likely you will find a routine is that is fun and motivating for you.
You DON’T have to strive for a six-pack.
Lean, mean, well-defined abs are synonymous with a fit body, but striving for them won’t keep you motivated in the long run. A commonality among people who have successfully shed pounds for life: They do it for overall health rather than just the aesthetic perks of having tight buns and a six pack. Exercise does more than flatten your abs and build your biceps. Exercise strengthens your heart, improves posture, increases bone density and generates endorphins in the brain. Likewise, a healthy diet is not just for looking good. Nutritious food wards off chronic illness and provides energy.
You DON’T have to give up gluten.
A gluten-free diet is often promoted as a great way to lose weight, but this is simply not true. The gluten-free diet is only healthier for people with gluten-related disorders, such as celiac or gluten intolerance. Those with celiac disease require a gluten-free diet because gluten causes an adverse, autoimmune reaction in the body that damages intestines and can lead to serious health problems. Gluten alone does not designate an unhealthy diet.
You DON’T have to skip meals.
Saving calories by skipping breakfast and/or lunch can easily backfire and isn’t a recommended weight-loss tactic. It’s one of the worst things you can do. As soon as you skip meals, you get hungry. Hunger causes irritability and lack of concentration that’s likely to affect your work and personal life as well as making you more likely to snack or overeat. Eat three to five small meals a day. This keeps you full, boosts your metabolism and reduces your snack intake. Be sure to keep portions small and focus on nutrient- and fiber-rich fruits and vegetables to keep you full between meals.
You DON’T have to overload on protein.
A food isn’t necessarily going to help you lose weight just because it has protein in it. Protein has exactly the same amount of calories in it as carbohydrates (four calories per gram), and a food or product that’s high in protein doesn’t mean it’s not also high in sugar. I regularly see protein bars that have more calories in them than a bar of chocolate. In terms of losing weight, it doesn’t matter what combination of nutrients you take in, as long as the amount of calories consumed in a day is less than you burn.
You DON’T have to avoid fruit.
Many diet plans ban fruit due their sugar content, but this doesn’t consider the type of sugar contained in fruit. It’s about how this sugar impacts blood sugar levels based on the fruit’s fiber and water content. Fructose, the sugar contained in fruits, is actually absorbed slowly by the human body and does not cause a rise in blood sugar. Plus, fruit’s fiber further helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates during digestion, helps lower cholesterol and curbs hunger. Fruit is therefore not a hindrance to weight loss at all but can facilitate it.
You DON’T have to eat fat-free foods.
Banning butter and all fat and choosing fat-free versions of your favorite foods can leave you feeling deprived. Studies have shown that dieters are most likely to stay on a diet if they get their fix in fat. Otherwise, the body feels deprived, and staying on track proves very difficult to the point that dieters end up quitting. Instead of going fat-free enjoy the natural, “real” versions in moderation — you’ll be more likely to stay on the path to successful and permanent weight loss. Also, manufacturers of fat-free products tend to compensate for the lack for fat with lots of sugar. So the fat-free saving grace ends up working against you. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4217 | {"url": "https://thekickboxclub.com/things-that-will-help-you-lose-weight-and-things-that-dont-matter/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "thekickboxclub.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:40:57Z", "digest": "sha1:DFEJCD7W2SWLHR2XPUVZSXGKRIIIKBPO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 5473, 5473.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 5473, 6012.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 5473, 19.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 5473, 47.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 5473, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 5473, 313.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 5473, 0.41883408]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 5473, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 5473, 0.01625649]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 5473, 0.01625649]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 5473, 0.01896591]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 5473, 0.01973094]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 5473, 0.13183857]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 5473, 0.45356371]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 5473, 4.78293737]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 5473, 5.44713729]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 5473, 926.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 67, 0.0], [67, 91, 1.0], [91, 573, 1.0], [573, 604, 1.0], [604, 1212, 1.0], [1212, 1256, 1.0], [1256, 1889, 1.0], [1889, 1930, 1.0], [1930, 2525, 1.0], [2525, 2559, 1.0], [2559, 3010, 1.0], [3010, 3040, 1.0], [3040, 3634, 1.0], [3634, 3673, 1.0], [3673, 4196, 1.0], [4196, 4227, 1.0], [4227, 4786, 1.0], [4786, 4824, 1.0], [4824, 5473, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 67, 0.0], [67, 91, 0.0], [91, 573, 0.0], [573, 604, 0.0], [604, 1212, 0.0], [1212, 1256, 0.0], [1256, 1889, 0.0], [1889, 1930, 0.0], [1930, 2525, 0.0], [2525, 2559, 0.0], [2559, 3010, 0.0], [3010, 3040, 0.0], [3040, 3634, 0.0], [3634, 3673, 0.0], [3673, 4196, 0.0], [4196, 4227, 0.0], [4227, 4786, 0.0], [4786, 4824, 0.0], [4824, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 67, 12.0], [67, 91, 5.0], [91, 573, 76.0], [573, 604, 6.0], [604, 1212, 98.0], [1212, 1256, 8.0], [1256, 1889, 105.0], [1889, 1930, 8.0], [1930, 2525, 98.0], [2525, 2559, 7.0], [2559, 3010, 72.0], [3010, 3040, 6.0], [3040, 3634, 102.0], [3634, 3673, 7.0], [3673, 4196, 97.0], [4196, 4227, 6.0], [4227, 4786, 94.0], [4786, 4824, 7.0], [4824, 5473, 112.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 67, 0.0], [67, 91, 0.0], [91, 573, 0.0], [573, 604, 0.0], [604, 1212, 0.0], [1212, 1256, 0.0], [1256, 1889, 0.0], [1889, 1930, 0.0], [1930, 2525, 0.0], [2525, 2559, 0.0], [2559, 3010, 0.0], [3010, 3040, 0.0], [3040, 3634, 0.0], [3634, 3673, 0.0], [3673, 4196, 0.0], [4196, 4227, 0.0], [4227, 4786, 0.0], [4786, 4824, 0.0], [4824, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 67, 0.0], [67, 91, 0.0], [91, 573, 0.0], [573, 604, 0.0], [604, 1212, 0.0], [1212, 1256, 0.0], [1256, 1889, 0.0], [1889, 1930, 0.0], [1930, 2525, 0.0], [2525, 2559, 0.0], [2559, 3010, 0.0], [3010, 3040, 0.0], [3040, 3634, 0.0], [3634, 3673, 0.0], [3673, 4196, 0.0], [4196, 4227, 0.0], [4227, 4786, 0.0], [4786, 4824, 0.0], [4824, 5473, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 67, 0.01492537], [67, 91, 0.20833333], [91, 573, 0.00622407], [573, 604, 0.16129032], [604, 1212, 0.00822368], [1212, 1256, 0.11363636], [1256, 1889, 0.01263823], [1889, 1930, 0.12195122], [1930, 2525, 0.01176471], [2525, 2559, 0.14705882], [2559, 3010, 0.00886918], [3010, 3040, 0.16666667], [3040, 3634, 0.01178451], [3634, 3673, 0.12820513], [3673, 4196, 0.00764818], [4196, 4227, 0.16129032], [4227, 4786, 0.00894454], [4786, 4824, 0.13157895], [4824, 5473, 0.00924499]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 5473, 0.3973453]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 5473, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 5473, 0.03808123]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 5473, -350.0655399]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 5473, 15.70253532]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 5473, -380.84073535]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 5473, 57.0]]} |
Important Things to Know When Playing a Slot
Posted on February 4, 2023 by Admin88
Slot machines are a great way to have some fun and win some money. They can be played at land-based casinos, and also online. There are many different types of slots, ranging from classic 3-reel games to more modern video slots.
Understanding Slot Paylines
When it comes to slot games, paylines are one of the most important things to understand. They are the lines where the winning symbols should line up, and they can be a single horizontal line or a pattern like zigzag. They are the most basic feature of a slot machine, but there are other features that can make a game more exciting.
Picking the right slot for you
When playing a slot, it is important to choose a game that matches your goals. Some people prefer to play slots with high jackpots, while others enjoy playing low-variance slot games that allow them to win smaller amounts more frequently. The variance of a slot is what determines the odds of a player winning and losing money.
Know Your Limits
When you’re playing a slot, it is important to set win and loss limits. This will help you stick to your budget and ensure that you don’t get over-extended. It will also prevent you from getting greedy and spending more than you can afford to lose.
Selecting a denomination for your slot is another important factor to consider. Choosing a lower denomination will allow you to play longer and maximize your bankroll. It will also allow you to increase your chances of winning more prizes and a higher jackpot.
The amount you bet on each spin is usually displayed in the slot machine’s HELP or INFO button, as well as on the screen itself. It will tell you how much the minimum bet and maximum bet are, as well as which payouts apply to a particular denomination. It will also show you how to unlock more paylines or special features.
Symbols and Bonus Rounds
When it comes to slots, there are many different symbols that you can win. These might include images of ancient Egypt or Greece, as well as card numbers from nine through ace. You’ll also find special symbols such as wilds and scatters that can trigger bonus rounds or other features in the slot.
It is very important to read the slot’s pay table before you start spinning the reels. The pay table will tell you how much you can win from landing three, four, or five of the specified symbols. It will also describe any special symbols and how they work, including the Wild and Scatter symbols.
Slots are random:
The probability of winning a payout on a slot machine is based on several factors, including the number of paylines and the randomly generated patterns that align a winning set of symbols. It is impossible to predict the outcome of a spin, but there are some things you can do to boost your odds. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4218 | {"url": "https://thelongescape.com/important-things-to-know-when-playing-a-slot/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "thelongescape.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:11:09Z", "digest": "sha1:B2JIFDOH3ZGD3F3LHANEEO6OQBBOLEQG"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2818, 2818.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2818, 3302.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2818, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2818, 38.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2818, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2818, 265.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2818, 0.47183099]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2818, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2818, 0.0397351]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2818, 0.02384106]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2818, 0.02384106]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2818, 0.01324503]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2818, 0.01766004]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2818, 0.01412804]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2818, 0.00352113]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2818, 0.10035211]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2818, 0.44752475]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2818, 4.48514851]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2818, 4.89195811]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2818, 505.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 83, 0.0], [83, 312, 1.0], [312, 340, 0.0], [340, 674, 1.0], [674, 705, 0.0], [705, 1033, 1.0], [1033, 1050, 0.0], [1050, 1299, 1.0], [1299, 1560, 1.0], [1560, 1884, 1.0], [1884, 1909, 0.0], [1909, 2207, 1.0], [2207, 2504, 1.0], [2504, 2522, 0.0], [2522, 2818, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 83, 0.0], [83, 312, 0.0], [312, 340, 0.0], [340, 674, 0.0], [674, 705, 0.0], [705, 1033, 0.0], [1033, 1050, 0.0], [1050, 1299, 0.0], [1299, 1560, 0.0], [1560, 1884, 0.0], [1884, 1909, 0.0], [1909, 2207, 0.0], [2207, 2504, 0.0], [2504, 2522, 0.0], [2522, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 45, 8.0], [45, 83, 7.0], [83, 312, 41.0], [312, 340, 3.0], [340, 674, 62.0], [674, 705, 6.0], [705, 1033, 57.0], [1033, 1050, 3.0], [1050, 1299, 46.0], [1299, 1560, 43.0], [1560, 1884, 61.0], [1884, 1909, 4.0], [1909, 2207, 53.0], [2207, 2504, 54.0], [2504, 2522, 3.0], [2522, 2818, 54.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 83, 0.19444444], [83, 312, 0.00452489], [312, 340, 0.0], [340, 674, 0.0], [674, 705, 0.0], [705, 1033, 0.0], [1033, 1050, 0.0], [1050, 1299, 0.0], [1299, 1560, 0.0], [1560, 1884, 0.0], [1884, 1909, 0.0], [1909, 2207, 0.0], [2207, 2504, 0.0], [2504, 2522, 0.0], [2522, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 83, 0.0], [83, 312, 0.0], [312, 340, 0.0], [340, 674, 0.0], [674, 705, 0.0], [705, 1033, 0.0], [1033, 1050, 0.0], [1050, 1299, 0.0], [1299, 1560, 0.0], [1560, 1884, 0.0], [1884, 1909, 0.0], [1909, 2207, 0.0], [2207, 2504, 0.0], [2504, 2522, 0.0], [2522, 2818, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.13333333], [45, 83, 0.07894737], [83, 312, 0.01310044], [312, 340, 0.10714286], [340, 674, 0.00898204], [674, 705, 0.03225806], [705, 1033, 0.00914634], [1033, 1050, 0.17647059], [1050, 1299, 0.01204819], [1299, 1560, 0.01149425], [1560, 1884, 0.03395062], [1884, 1909, 0.12], [1909, 2207, 0.01677852], [2207, 2504, 0.01683502], [2504, 2522, 0.05555556], [2522, 2818, 0.00675676]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2818, 0.23717755]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2818, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2818, 0.07559174]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2818, -110.74815027]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2818, 34.220514]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2818, -165.00010978]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2818, 26.0]]} |

TAD 2021: Alien On Stage dir. Lucy Harvey & Danielle Kummer
The right idea, at the right time, can be magic. It happened in 1979 when Ridley Scott delivered the first true science fiction horror film. It also happened again in 2013, in Dorset, when a group of amatuer actors, and professional bus drivers decided to bring the film to the stage instead of their usual…
Star Trek: The Original 4 Movie Collection – 4K Review
Star Trek has been a part of my life since I was a young boy in Borden, Ontario. It was the late 70s when I first discovered the series on Saturday mornings, my first episode was a rerun of Miri, and I loved the show every time I found it on one of the three…

Moonraker (1979) – Lewis Gilbert
Oh Moonraker. Sigh. When I was first getting into Bond films, at the age of twelve, I thought Moonraker was great – I didn’t see it during its original release in ’79, but I remember seeing images, and some of the toys and cards – because space, and lasers, gadgets and James Bond! Coming to…
The Amityville Horror (1979) – Stuart Rosenberg
The next film to haunt the ghost chapter of DK Canada’s Monsters in the Movies is the granddaddy of the modern ghost/haunted house movie The Amityville Horror. Based on the non-fiction(?) book by Jay Anson. When a house comes up for sale (at a cheap price – a now recognizable horror staple), the Lutz family…
Zombie (1979) – Lucio Fulci
The next zombie movie to be featured in DK Canada’s highly enjoyable (and bloody) Monsters in the Movies book has been on the periphery of my life for a long time, though I had never seen it. I remember seeing the poster for Zombie aka Zombie Flesh Eaters aka Zombi 2 on the theater sheet… | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4220 | {"url": "https://themindreels.com/tag/1979/page/3/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "themindreels.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:49:44Z", "digest": "sha1:5OR65BOAZFZHVPWIHVG2FTXH5453ZAKX"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3757, 3757.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3757, 8001.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3757, 20.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3757, 80.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3757, 0.91]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3757, 260.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3757, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3757, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3757, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3757, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3757, 0.32063882]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3757, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3757, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3757, 0.05085313]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3757, 0.04148545]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3757, 0.04148545]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3757, 0.02208096]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3757, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3757, 0.0117096]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3757, 0.00535296]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3757, 0.00602208]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3757, 0.03071253]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3757, 0.5]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3757, 0.2039312]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3757, 0.53658537]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3757, 4.55640244]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3757, 0.01228501]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3757, 5.33103696]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3757, 656.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 406, 0.0], [406, 496, 0.0], [496, 841, 0.0], [841, 901, 0.0], [901, 1209, 0.0], [1209, 1264, 0.0], [1264, 1524, 0.0], [1524, 1612, 0.0], [1612, 1938, 0.0], [1938, 2030, 0.0], [2030, 2376, 0.0], [2376, 2427, 0.0], [2427, 2756, 0.0], [2756, 2789, 0.0], [2789, 3082, 0.0], [3082, 3130, 0.0], [3130, 3440, 0.0], [3440, 3468, 0.0], [3468, 3757, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 406, 0.0], [406, 496, 0.0], [496, 841, 0.0], [841, 901, 0.0], [901, 1209, 0.0], [1209, 1264, 0.0], [1264, 1524, 0.0], [1524, 1612, 0.0], [1612, 1938, 0.0], [1938, 2030, 0.0], [2030, 2376, 0.0], [2376, 2427, 0.0], [2427, 2756, 0.0], [2756, 2789, 0.0], [2789, 3082, 0.0], [3082, 3130, 0.0], [3130, 3440, 0.0], [3440, 3468, 0.0], [3468, 3757, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 70, 14.0], [70, 406, 55.0], [406, 496, 17.0], [496, 841, 55.0], [841, 901, 10.0], [901, 1209, 55.0], [1209, 1264, 10.0], [1264, 1524, 55.0], [1524, 1612, 15.0], [1612, 1938, 55.0], [1938, 2030, 15.0], [2030, 2376, 55.0], [2376, 2427, 8.0], [2427, 2756, 55.0], [2756, 2789, 5.0], [2789, 3082, 55.0], [3082, 3130, 7.0], [3130, 3440, 55.0], [3440, 3468, 5.0], [3468, 3757, 55.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 70, 0.13559322], [70, 406, 0.01886792], [406, 496, 0.08139535], [496, 841, 0.0], [841, 901, 0.07272727], [901, 1209, 0.02666667], [1209, 1264, 0.03773585], [1264, 1524, 0.00784314], [1524, 1612, 0.06097561], [1612, 1938, 0.0], [1938, 2030, 0.05747126], [2030, 2376, 0.0], [2376, 2427, 0.08333333], [2427, 2756, 0.00925926], [2756, 2789, 0.13333333], [2789, 3082, 0.00706714], [3082, 3130, 0.08888889], [3130, 3440, 0.0], [3440, 3468, 0.16], [3468, 3757, 0.00350877]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 70, 0.0], [70, 406, 0.0], [406, 496, 0.0], [496, 841, 0.0], [841, 901, 0.0], [901, 1209, 0.0], [1209, 1264, 0.0], [1264, 1524, 0.0], [1524, 1612, 0.0], [1612, 1938, 0.0], [1938, 2030, 0.0], [2030, 2376, 0.0], [2376, 2427, 0.0], [2427, 2756, 0.0], [2756, 2789, 0.0], [2789, 3082, 0.0], [3082, 3130, 0.0], [3130, 3440, 0.0], [3440, 3468, 0.0], [3468, 3757, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 70, 0.18571429], [70, 406, 0.07142857], [406, 496, 0.14444444], [496, 841, 0.05217391], [841, 901, 0.16666667], [901, 1209, 0.01948052], [1209, 1264, 0.14545455], [1264, 1524, 0.04230769], [1524, 1612, 0.11363636], [1612, 1938, 0.02760736], [1938, 2030, 0.11956522], [2030, 2376, 0.05202312], [2376, 2427, 0.09803922], [2427, 2756, 0.03343465], [2756, 2789, 0.09090909], [2789, 3082, 0.0443686], [3082, 3130, 0.10416667], [3130, 3440, 0.04516129], [3440, 3468, 0.10714286], [3468, 3757, 0.0449827]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3757, 0.84992301]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3757, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3757, 0.51871949]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3757, -274.90557592]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3757, 4.4292296]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3757, -36.02627424]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3757, 25.0]]} |
Predator 2 (1990) – Stephen Hopkins
Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Bill Paxton, Robert Davi, Maria Conchita Alonso and Ruben Blades are in the sights of an alien in Predator 2, the next stop as I close in on the end of the Sci-Fi Chronicles book. Following on the trail of the original 1987 film, Predator 2 is a bit of a…
The King and I (1956) – Walter Lang
Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr light up the screen in the next recommendation from the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book following my screening of Oklahoma! The Rogers and Hammerstein musical soars to life in a stunning adaptation that doesn’t sacrifice story for musical numbers. Instead, the story is just as important, if…
Superman: The Animated Series (1998) -Little Girl Lost Parts I & II, and Where There’s Smoke
Season 2 of Superman’s (Tim Daly) animated adventures comes to a close this week, with the two parter, Little Girl Lost, which introduces the DC Animated Universe to Kara (Nicholle Tom), better known as Supergirl. The story aired as a whole on 2 May, 1998. The first part sees Superman rescuing the sole survivor of…
The Shannara Chronicles: Season 1
Fantasy television series always have a hard time proving themselves on television. For every Game of Thrones or Xena: Warrior Princess, there’s a Wizards and Warriors or Covington Cross. While television viewers are happy to welcome superheroes and aliens into their living rooms on weekly basis, elves, dwarves and trolls have had a tougher time…
Doctor Strange (2016) – Scott Derrickson
Benedict Cumberbatch settles rather nicely into the Marvel universe, as he dons the cloak and mantle of the MCU’s (Marvel Cinematic Universe) latest superhero. Doctor Strange. Easing into an American accent, as easily as he does Strange’s costume, Cumberbatch fits the role perfectly, bringing to life the doctor’s arrogance, ego, and eventually his humbled, giving…
Judge Dredd (1995) -Danny Cannon
You need to worry about any movie that thinks it’s a good idea to use Rob Schneider as your comic relief, and this, my next stop in the Sci-Fi Chronicles book is filled with potential, but those involved just didn’t seem to get the source material. Danny Cannon presents a busy MegaCity, a fairly familiar…
Doctor Who (Peter Davison) – Snakedance
Teagan (Janet Fielding) falls under the influence of the Mara again in this sequel to Kinda. This four-parter ran from the 18th to the 26th of January, 1983 and was written by Christopher Bailey. Using Tegan and an alien named Lon (Martin Clunes), the Mara plans to steal ‘The Great Crystal’ which will help…
Shane (1953) – George Stevens
“Shane. Shane! Come back! Bye, Shane.” It’s a classic line, but it’s from a film that I had never seen until now, thanks to the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book recommending it following my screening of High Noon. Alan Ladd is the titular character, a weary gunfighter, looking to restart his…
Pan’s Labyrinth (2006) – Guillermo del Toro
Not sure why this one ended up in the family genre section of the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book, but I guess, it ties in with the Wizard of Oz in terms of a fantasy world, and a young girl. Doesn’t matter, because I love sitting down and watching this one!…
Vikings Season 3
Season 3 of this Canadian-Irish co-production, shot in gorgeous Ireland, debuts on DVD & Blu-Ray today.

McClure’s Time at Duke University
David McClure arrived at Duke University as a proven winner from Connecticut who won three state championships in his high school career. Before the start of his freshman year, he got injured. It was an injury that would require surgery, but he opted to put it on hold because he had a chance to start for Duke. He played in 25 games and averaged 1.7 points per game as a freshman, where his team won the ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) Championship and made the NCAA Tournament. The following year, he underwent surgery on his left knee and missed his entire sophomore year. He was redshirted and returned in 2006-2007 and was a big contributor for Duke. He averaged 4.2 points per game in 33 games with 11 starts.
Throughout his time at Duke, McClure battled injuries but always came back ready to compete and do his job. He finished his Duke career averaging 2.2 points and 3.1 rebounds a game while shooting 48.1 percent. He was known for his ability to guard and play multiple positions, defend, and rebound. He was part of NCAA Tournament teams each year he played at Duke.
McClure’s favorite moment from his time at Duke was winning the ACC Championship his freshmen year. “It was an up and down season. It was the year to get us (Duke). Luol Deng left for the NBA Draft, and Shaun Livingston went straight to the NBA.” The key freshmen coming in were McClure, DeMarcus Nelson, and Shaun Livingston, but that changed when Livingston went to the NBA, where he was selected 4th overall by the Los Angeles Clippers. David talked about how it was written in newspapers that Duke was down, and this was the year to get them. All of the media surrounding Duke and how it was expected to be a down season for them served as extra motivation.
When reminiscing about his experience at Duke, playing on the biggest stage for the greatest coach, McClure responded, “Looking back, it was so incredible.” He looked forward to the game against North Carolina every year. It was something he dreamed about as a kid, and the game’s history was something special.
“If you do what you love every day, sometimes you need something extra.” -David McClure on Coach K’s motivation.
When talking about playing for coach Mike Krzyzewski, he said, “Coach was so dedicated to his craft.” They worked hard, but coach K worked harder. “The importance of trying to motivate is his special gift. If you do what you love every day, sometimes you need something extra.” McClure talked about the motivation the players received and that it was just a privilege to be there every day.
When asked about the importance that coach Krzyzewski puts on practice and how that translates into playing time, McClure said, “Tremendously. We keep stats in practice. Coaches would keep all types of stats. If we would practice for an hour and a half and 90% of the sets are for J.J. Redick, coaches would keep stats to see how the rest of us are doing in practice.” Coaches kept all kinds of statistics in practice, like deflections, and they were called “True Blue Points.”
One notable moment at Duke for McClure came against Clemson in 2007. Duke blew a five-point lead with under ten seconds left. With just 4.4 seconds left in the game, Jon Scheyer hit McClure with a pass as he cut down the middle of the court, and he hit the game winning shot as time expired to beat #17 ranked Clemson. When McClure spoke about that game-winner, he said, laughing, “I blacked out a little. In practice, if you messed up, you ran. Jon made a good pass, and I ran my route. We were trained to do our job. I grabbed the ball, saw the rim, and blacked out for five minutes.”
Professional Basketball
After graduating from Duke, McClure went undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft. He was drafted in the 5th round with the 6th pick in the NBA Developmental League Draft by the Austin Spurs, the San Antonio Spurs affiliate. He played one season for the Austin Spurs, coached by former Duke Blue Devil Quin Snyder, and averaged 2.3 points per game in 40 games.
After the 2009-2010 season with the Austin Spurs, he headed overseas to play in Lithuania. He went on to play four years in Lithuania and had to make adjustments to the style of play. In college, they were asked to control the entire game using the clock, but in Lithuania, the biggest thing was shooting and having to be ready. The game over there was free-flowing, and everyone had to contribute. “We were asked to shoot it right away because they felt that you might not get that look or opportunity again.”
McClure had his ups and downs while playing overseas. He also battled injuries, and as a professional, he had to worry if he was going to get cut while being injured. He was surviving overseas while in the hope his body recovered from injury.
From Basketball Play to Coach
Coaching was a “blessing in disguise” for McClure. He was facing double knee surgery due to bone on bone in his knees, but he was rehabbing with the intent to play and continue his professional career. Having made connections while he played in the San Antonio Spurs organization, he reached out to the Spurs, interviewed for a coaching position, and got the job. “Timing worked out,” said McClure. While he misses playing, the lifestyle of a coach is similar to the lifestyle of a player.

He started in player development with the Spurs in 2014. An organization with a great culture that knows how to win and is coached by Gregg Popovich. As a first time coach, McClure soaked up everything as he was learning. He was responsible for working out injured players and was expected to step up when he was called upon.
After a few years with the Spurs, McClure moved on to the Indiana Pacers in 2016. The Pacers did not have a player development coach, and it was a model that was being copied around the league. Once again, he interviewed and got the job with a young and upcoming Pacers team.
His role daily is to take a minimalist approach. According to McClure, most players get to the NBA because they have one or two special abilities if they aren’t elite. There is only so much court availability, so players need to develop even if they don’t see consistent minutes in a game. He emphasized the importance that players need to pay attention to their bodies as they age. Players need to consider mileage on their bodies. McClure expressed, “I need to make sure they get concise work each day. Hours they can rest matter.” As for his goal for developing players, he stated, “Turn players into the best person, in the best role, on the Pacers they can be.”
I asked David what he has utilized most as a coach from his time at Duke, and he responded, “Accountability. Don’t be afraid of confrontation. How you build trust is, to be honest with a pure heart. Demand accountability of yourself and hold players in the same regard, and you can reach your ceiling.”
The Indiana Pacers have made the playoffs each year McClure has been on the coaching staff. The Pacers also have developed into a contender in the Eastern Conference of the NBA while developing notable young talents like Victor Oladipo, Myles Turner, and Domantas Sabonis. While it remains to be seen what McClure’s long term plans are, the Indiana Pacers have found themselves a talented young coach who is a student of the game.
While McClure’s generation of Duke players are dwindling in the NBA, he spoke about remaining close to some of his teammates like J.J.Redick, Gerald Henderson, and Lance Thomas. He talked about how J.J. Redick continues to improve as he gets older and how his points per game have gone up each year. McClure still returns to Duke each summer to attend camps that are held.

I recently started reading the book of Joshua. It’s a great book in the Bible that indeed shows the faithfulness and mighty power of God. So far, it has reassured and strengthened me because God indeed is the one who fights the battles of His children.
All the lands taken by the Israelites in the book of Joshua were promised to them by God. Faithfully, God brought it to pass and it shows that God never fails in His promises.
God is true and cannot be unfaithful. If He promised you, He will bring it to pass. God’s zeal will accomplish it, stand steadfast in the Lord your God.
Remember, be a light in your space 💫

Contexts: Benton Flippen and Gillian Welch

Today the Southern Folklife Collection is reporting that the legendary Mount Airy fiddler Benton Flippen has passed away. We had a chance to write about Mr. Flippen last year, and we have great respect for this man and his music; our thoughts go out to Mr. Flippen's family and friends.
Yesterday also saw the release of the long-awaited The Harrow and The Harvest by Gillian Welch, an artist who has done a great deal to further the cause of traditional and roots music in this country. We feel that the new ways in which Ms. Welch carries forward this music illuminates how we can rethink the place of the rural arts within the rural-urban continuum and within the ever-shifting dialogue between traditional and modern forms of expression. Below, Ms. Welch and David Rawlings perform "The Way It Goes" last night on The Conan O'Brien Show:

The Arts At The National Rural Assembly
Billy Altom singing his transportation son "Come on man, I want a ride;" Shawn Poynter
As we mentioned before, we are taking part in The National Rural Assembly--and we've met many folks with vital and inspiring projects in the rural arts. We are looking forward to sharing these conversations with our readers when the Assembly concludes later in the week.
The Daily Yonder is covering the Assembly in real time, so we'd recommend that folks visit the site a few times throughout the day to hear the latest on the day's activities.
Almanac For Moderns: Good Poetry, Good Science
June Twenty-Sixth
As long as one knows little of Nature save that which impinges upon one sensually, one is subject to the moods it throws, like a shadow, across the spirit. But as soon as one begins to search for knowledge in the thing that dims the light, the power of mood fades. A biologist confined to the prison isle of Ste. Marguerite would soon set up some equipment or technique for studying the swallows--the pulsation of their crowding population, the control of their behavior, their effect upon the rest of the animal life of the island, or something else from which significant conclusions could be drawn.
I accept the challenge of the artists that cool investigation may often be the death of poetry. As knowledge lessens the terror of plague, so it may take some of the soulfulness out of nature. There is a sort of Wordsworthian sermonizing that shrinks before a biological frame of mind, just as the childish abhorrence of insects vanishes with familiarity. But not all poetry is really good poetry (however good it may sound). Good poetry is swift-winged, essential and truthful description--and so is good science.
June Twenty-Ninth
The merest beginning upon the little specializing in the swallows led me to the sandbank, to the burrowing bees and their beetle guests, and has sent my thoughts straying upon the biology of the social habit, to which life in a cliff seems to give rise. After all, our own ancestors were cliff dwellers. From there I have strayed in my musings to the nature of parisitism, as it is exhibited by the Hornia beetles, as well as, I learn, several other members of the same family. One may object that all this is reprehensibly diffuse. I should concentrate upon swallows, and not leave them for blister beetles until I know all about the birds.
But the purpose of studying Nature at all, aside from the distraction which it affords, (and it is in the nature of distraction not to dwell on anything to the point of tedium) is that the study should illuminate the relation of living things to each other, to us, to the environment. One thing should lead to something quite other. Complexity is the keynote of biology--a fact which those who have been trained first in the exact or physical sciences can never seem to grasp. The goal of biological thought is ramification, many-viewpointedness, and a man who drops his swallows uncompleted because he has suddenly grown excited over beetles is simply a man who is growing.
The National Rural Assembly
This week we are excited to report that we will be taking part in the National Rural Assembly in St. Paul, Minnesota. We look forward to sharing the conversations and connections that emerge from this gathering, and we'd like to point folks toward a few ways that they can contribute to the ongoing work of the Assembly from their own home communities.
Most immediately, The Daily Yonder will be covering the week's events in detail; the Assembly is hosting a remarkable list of rural leaders, speaking on a number of topics, so (as always) we can turn to The Daily Yonder for the full perspective.
Also, resources within the Assembly's Working Groups will be particularly useful beyond St. Paul. The areas of focus include transportation, broadband, emerging issues and rural youth--and each individual site contains webinars, essays and commentary that can help guide local discussions.
Folks should also take a moment to consider The Rural Compact, "a set of principles for building stronger rural communities and a stronger nation:"
Rural America is more than the land. It is a way we are connected in culture, heritage, and national enterprise. While it may be vast, it is far from empty. Sixty million of us live in the American countryside, and far more grew up there. Rural Americans reflect the full diversity of the country in who we are, what we do, and what we want to achieve.
When rural communities succeed, the nation does better, and cities and suburbs have more resources on which to build. Conversely, when rural communities falter, it drains the nation’s prosperity and limits what we can accomplish together.
We now face the challenges of how we sustainably fuel, feed, and nurture both ourselves and a fragile world. A vital rural America has a contribution to make in this effort and the responsibility to take on that endeavor.
We offer this compact as a set of principles on which to build the kind of rural America that is needed now and a rural America that is ready to face the challenges to come.
The Rural Compact is concerned with issues of stewardship, health, investments, and education within rural communities--and we encourage folks to take a moment to peruse the Compact and join those who have endorsed this document.
There is much more to explore on the National Rural Assembly site. While learning more about this gathering, we'd also consider taking a look at the 2010 National Rural Youth Assembly and hearing the voices of this next generation.

Sunday Song: Fern Jones
So why hasn’t anyone ever heard of Fern Jones? How is her record selling on Ebay for less than $15? How is it possible that rockabilly scholars can tell you every detail about the players on Fern’s album, but not a single thing about her? In what world can a musician be covered by Jimmie Davis, the Blackwood Brothers, Jimmy Swaggart, and even The Man In Black himself, Johnny Cash, and yet not register so much as a footnote in any history of country or gospel music? How could something so wonderful be so impossibly obscure?
- liner notes to The Glory Road reissue by Numero Group
In 1958 Fern Jones recorded her only proper album, Singing A Happy Song, with an elite group of Nashville studio musicians who had just put to tape a session with Elvis Presley. It's hard to imagine without listening: how her music makes that jaw-dropping bridge between the swagger of Presley and convictions of an evangelical life. Here's Steve Klinge writing in the 2009 Oxford American Annual Southern Music Issue on Fern Jones:
And her talent was prodigious: She had a voice built to reach three thousand people in a hot tent, to command attention and to attest with conviction; powerful, swinging, and rocking. It's the rocking that surprises now, half a century after her album came out. She's a rockabilly Patsy Cline, a gospel Wanda Jackson, a female Elvis Presley, although she was about a decade older than each of them, and honed her style before they popularized theirs. Neither an influence nor a descendant, she's a forgotten peer.
Fern and Ray Jones, with their two children, spent the '40s and '50s traveling the Deep South as evangelists, settling down occasionally to pioneer new church communities, often hosting religious radio shows. Ray would preach to the crowd, then sing with Fern, accompanying her on rhythm guitar and high-lonesome backing vocals, usually joined by pickup bands with pedal-steel, slap bass, sometimes horns. Fern was the attractive honky-tonk angel with the earthy voice of a sinner saved: hard, loud, gritty, sexy. A voice made for tents, not churches—at least not white ones. According to their daughter, Anita Faye Garner, who grew up singing alongside her parents, Ray would introduce Fern by saying, "This is my angel with a golden voice, and she was sent by God to sing this way."
Anita Faye Garner edits The Glory Road site to honor her mother's work and spread the message--it's an excellent introduction, complete with a great deal of contextual information and links. More information on the exhaustively-researched Numero Group reissue of Mrs. Jones's work can be found here.

Art & Identity in a Not-So-Rural Corner of Arkansas
By Rachel Reynolds Luster, Contributing Editor
Last week, the New York Times published an article entitled "A Billionaire's Eye for Art Shapes Her Singular Museum." The story is that of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and its benefactor Alice Walton. Two things struck me as I read the NYT piece. First, "I can't wait for this place to open; I've got to see that Andy Warhol screen print of Dolly Parton," and shortly thereafter, "Bentonville, rural hamlet, really?" This created a desire in me to deconstruct the article as much for myself as for others. What will it really mean for Northwest Arkansas, the broader area in which Walton is king, or in this case, queen, and what is the broader context socially and culturally?
As one good friend related to me earlier this week, “anyone who has sat in Bentonville traffic for 45 minutes trying to drive 2.5 miles like I did last Wednesday would argue that it is far from a rural hamlet.” In fact, Bentonville is, indeed, far from that. While 2010 census lists the official population as 35,301, it is in fact part of the Northwest Arkansas Metropolitan Statistical Area with a population exceeding 465,000 people, and those figures do not take into account the number of Wal Mart executives and other business people that fly in and out of the Alice Walton Terminal at the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport built to accommodate them there in Bentonville. These folks live in Bentonville on a temporary basis, and it also excludes the many employees at the headquarters for America’s Largest Retailer that live in the surrounding towns in Northwest Arkansas, commonly referred to as NWA.
In that region, there is the largest university in the state (The University of Arkansas, home of the Razorbacks), the international headquarters for Wal-Mart, Tyson, and of the trucking magnate J. B. Hunt. In addition, there are several museums and one spectacular venue, The Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville, whose creation was a partnership of public and private interests, but was funded in large part by the Walton Family, hence the name. While the venue offers world-class performances of ballet, theatre, and everything from The Peking Acrobats to The B-52s, many in town saw, and still see, the Center as a gentrification of Dickson Street, Fayetteville’s historic source for live bar music and entertainment including performances by many local musicians. The reaction by local citizens has been a “Keep Fayetteville Funky” campaign. Now that we’ve demystified Bentonville and Northwest Arkansas, what of its residents and in particular Ms. Walton of Crystal Bridges?
Arkansas is conscious of itself, perhaps overly conscious. Brooks Blevins, an Arkansas native and resident and the Endowed Associate Professor of Ozarks Studies at Missouri State University has penned what I consider the two best books on the social and cultural history of Arkansas, Hill Folks: A History of Arkansas Ozarkers and Their Image and Arkansas / Arkansaw: How Bear Hunters, Hillbillies, and Good Ol’ Boys Defined a State. The latter, in particular, gets to the heart of the New York Times piece on Walton and Crystal Bridges and its context. Blevins’ premise is that Arkansas and its residents have been caricatured for so long that “defensiveness is part of our cultural inheritance:”
there seems to be no scientific way to quantify the level of stereotyping to which Arkansas has been subjected in comparison with other states, southern and nonsouthern, but the general consensus around the Natural State is that Arkansas was at some point in the murky past singled out and given a special place in the American consciousness.
Those stereotypes are predominately negative. “Arkansawyers,” the historic term used by natives according to Blevins, are often seen as isolated, poor, and primitive and the image of Arkansas as portrayed in the media and absorbed in public consciousness is one of “violence, ignorance, shiftlessness, laziness, with generous doses of racism, moonshining, clannishness, inbreeding, barefootedness, floppyhatedness, and general cussedness.” Blevins points to a revelation saying that “developmental psychologists refer to this experience as the ‘yee-haw’ moment—the level of consciousness one must achieve to understand one should be offended by the ‘Beverly Hillbillies,’ even though one may not be." There are different reactions to such characterizations and, in large part, according to Blevins, they are based on socioeconomic status. The concept of rising above Arkansas’s image is engrained in many. It sounds humorous at first, but not only does this phenomenon ring true to the culture of the state, and I think many other rural states and communities, as a whole it is also evident in the singular case of Walton and her art museum. Blevins writes:
They have represented the forces of “progress” in Arkansas, this least aristocratic commonwealth of the Old South, a land of mudsills not masters, none of us needs scale too many branches of the family tree to find bare plainness, and those who’ve fought tooth and nail to trade rickets for Rotary have been acutely sensitive to this historic progression. Motivated by their own progressive impulses and perhaps by the hayseeds too recently combed from their hair, they have rejected both the romantic’s embrace of the Arkansawyer’s eccentricity and cussed traditionalism and the outsider’s reductionist tendencies to identify all people of Arkansawyer.
In Arkansas, it doesn’t get any more aristocratic than the Walton Family.
What must it have been like for Alice Walton, “billionheiress,” to be from Arkansaw? Surely, this consciousness of place has followed her throughout her life. While I have no background in big business, indeed, my pursuits could probably best be described as the antithesis of big business, I can sympathize with wanting to reshape the image of our native state, and I can certainly understand why it would be important for Ms. Walton to extend herself through philanthropic efforts to counteract the view, held by many, that the company that has provided the funds for her giving destroys community business, mistreats its employees, is discriminatory, and harmful to rural life and culture.
2011 Walmart Shareholders Meeting at the Bud Walton Arena, Fayetteville, Arkansas
In addition, the over 1 billion dollars that Walton and the family’s foundation have pumped into this project, not including the land on which it sits offers a considerable tax write-off for the family fortune estimated by Fortune magazine to be some 90 billion dollars in 2004. According to ARTINFO, in their in-depth discussion of recent coverage of Crystal Bridges, there was tax legislation created to specifically benefit the Waltons and their significant contributions to Crystal Bridges:
In fact, the law in question, Arkansas Act 1865, very, very clearly is meant to exempt Walton's museum specifically: It provides, and we quote, "Sales tax exemption for purchases by a 'Qualified Museum' for construction, repair, expansion, or operation," with "Qualified Museum" defined as an institution with "a collection with a value greater than $100,000,000 in an Arkansas facility prior to January 1, 2013."
The Walton Family has a long history of “investing” in cultural initiatives, almost exclusively those considered to be high art, around the country and in Arkansas. Like most things in the Natural State, I’m sure the motivations for these initiatives are complex. Is the museum simply a Walton showpiece, an overcompensation for the “bare plainness” of their roots as Blevins called it, a tax dodging scheme, and/or a genuine love of art and community? The opinions of the residents from NWA about Crystal Bridges are mostly positive. While some doubt the lofty goal described by Walton in the New York Times piece of making Crystal Bridges and “international destination for art lovers,” many emphasize the educational benefit to the region and the spacious grounds and trails on the museum’s site.
Ellen Compton, whose family owned the land where Crystal Bridges now sits, before the Waltons purchased it from her father after a newspaper article had recounted the discovery of a “satanic altar” on the grounds and a follow-up visit by an anthropologist brought it notoriety, wrote.
Everyone I know who lives in Bentonville is more than enthusiastic about Crystal Bridges. It is a huge topic and the opening is eagerly anticipated. Also an everyday question is - how much of it will be ready by the opening? But they seem to have faith. It is going to be Great and Good.
However, at least one small group questions the intent of Walton and Crystal Bridges. In response to my query, Fayetteville resident, David Orr wrote:
I see this as a repeat of the growth of Texas art museums in the 20th century. When Texans struck oil they built their mansions and bought their luxury cars and built large cities. At some point the millionaires decided they needed fine art museums, too. I believe it is rooted in feelings of inferiority, but it's their way of telling the world that ‘we got culture, too!’
But I find it almost absurd how much they're dumping on this vanity project. It is an overwhelming anachronism, a billionaire's personal art collection in a gigantic building, worthy of the world's largest big-box retailer, plopped down in a remote corner of one of the nation's chronically poorest states. If she really wanted to do something with her billions for her community--the broader community, outside the Wal-Mart home office parking lot--she could have invested in art programs in schools, or build up the art department at UA. Do things that are appropriate to the setting.
Of course there is no way to know, why this? Why there? Why on this grand scale? The museum is set to open in November this year. A quick browse of the museum’s permanent collection pieces offers a peek into the curatorial process of collecting and displaying Walton’s vision of American Art, and, at least to me, surprisingly and pleasantly, it consists of many pieces that are seemingly rural or at least depict rural life.

Our New Mission Statement
The Innocent Eye Test; Mark Tansey
With the molting forms of Donald Culross Peattie's cicadas and Charley Patton's bo weavils still on our mind, I would like to share today the new mission statement for The Art of the Rural. This statement is the centerpiece for a series of other new developments that we're looking to announce this summer.
The greatest joy in editing The Art of the Rural over the last eighteen months has been the conversations and connections I have enjoyed with our readers and contributors. In keeping with the "open canon" model proposed recently, I'd like to offer this mission statement--and I would greatly value any thoughts folks might have. As it stands, I view this new articulation of our mission as a direct result of such feedback. Please feel free to offer your thoughts on our Facebook page or at artoftherural at gmail.com .
Thanks again for reading and contributing to The Art of the Rural,
The Art Of The Rural is a non-profit organization working to gather a variety of perspectives on the state of rural arts and culture in American life.
A two-fold mission guides The Art of the Rural. While our website and associated social media components offer readers multiple outlets and platforms through which to learn more about the contemporary dynamics of rural arts and culture, The Art of the Rural seeks to use this technology to create with its readers and advisors an "open canon" of the rural arts. Such an interdisciplinary "open canon," documented across the site and its Rural Arts Links, will serve as an educational and inspirational tool for artists, organizations and readers from both rural and urban backgrounds.
The Art of the Rural seeks to present rural arts and folkways while also considering contemporary responses to rural culture. Rural America stands at the intersection of traditional and modern forms of expression, and we are committed to documenting art that works through this unique and complicated inheritance.
The Art of the Rural recognizes that "rural arts and culture" is not solely composed by folks living in a place census officials deem "non-metropolitan." As many of our organization's editors and collaborators are part of the nation's "rural diaspora," we understand that a great deal of both the art and commentary surrounding rural issues emanates beyond its geography.
The staff of The Art of The Rural is also largely comprised of this next generation of Rural Americans. Thus, we passionately seek to document the voices and viewpoints of its younger citizens: those who have stayed, those who have left, and those who are planning to return.
To those ends, our explorations will consider how these arts, and these attitudes toward culture and community, manifest themselves within the urban areas of this country. The Art Of The Rural aims to present the ways in which the rural, far from any romantic or pastoral notions of a separate and idyllic space, is deeply connected with the daily lives of all Americans.
Later this week we will feature Contributing Editor Rachel Reynolds Luster's commentary on The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, a new complex scheduled to open this November in Bentonville, Arkansas. The site, of course, is no coincidence, as the force behind Crystal Bridges is none other than Alice Walton: a Walmart heiress whose assets are now valued at over $23 billion dollars. While Rachel Reynolds Luster, an Arkansas native, will offer her perspective on Crystal Bridges and its place within the region, today I will present a few contextual links. As both its supporters and detractors agree, Crystal Bridges will reshape the conversation within American museum culture and within the American arts as a whole--indeed, Ms. Walton's high-profile acquisitions have been causing waves for years.
I would first recommend Carol Vogel's recent New York Times article, "A Billionaire’s Eye for Art Shapes Her Singular Museum," as it contains an interview with Ms. Walton. (The New Yorker also has a recent feature, accessible to subscribers) Here are the opening paragraphs:
The era of the world-class museum built by a single philanthropist in the tradition of Isabella Stewart Gardner, John Pierpont Morgan Jr. and Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney may seem to have passed, but Alice L. Walton is bringing it back.
Yet her mission is unlike those of her predecessors, or of more recent art patrons like Ronald S. Lauder and his Neue Galerie. They set out to put great works on display in cultural capitals like New York and Boston. Instead, Ms. Walton’s Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art — the first major institution in 50 years dedicated to the vast spectrum of American art, to be housed in a building more than twice the size of the current Whitney Museum of American Art — seeks to bring high art to middle America here in this town of 35,000 that is best known as the home of Wal-Mart.
Ms. Walton, the daughter of Wal-Mart’s founder, Sam Walton, has worked on the museum for nearly a decade, but has said little about it in public until now. In a recent interview at Town Branch, her family home here, she said she wanted to turn Bentonville into an international destination for art lovers when the museum opens on Nov. 11. At the moment the most significant nearby cultural attractions are two hours away: a museum of Western and American Indian art in Tulsa, Okla., and, in the other direction, the country-music magnet of Branson, Mo.
Especially after yesterday's commentary of the Kansas Arts Veto, a number of loaded cultural markers dot the landscape of these first few paragraphs: world-class, high-art, middle-America, cultural attractions. With all of these notions staked to the presumably small "town" of Bentonville, Arkansas, Crystal Bridges simultaneously takes advantage of rural-urban and high-low culture binaries just as it works to refute them. And this is not to mention the regional dynamic itself, of Arkansas and the Ozarks within the broader American consciousness--a factor Rachel will speak to in her commentary.
Lisa Pruitt of Legal Ruralism has addressed the question of Bentonville, and its rural "heartland" status, on two recent occasions. Her critique of a Los Angeles Times piece last month zeroes in on how journalists are reading, or misreading, the rural component to this story:
But what really caught my attention was the lede's use of the word "rural":
It makes for a good story, but the munificent $800-million gift from the family that owns Wal-Mart, meant to endow programs and operations at Alice Walton's under-construction art museum in rural Arkansas, is not the largest such gift ever made to a U.S. art museum.
It seems to me that the writer uses the adjective "rural" here to diminish the place--just as the story also puts the museum endeavor in perspective (the largest endowment, the journalist informs us, was from J. Paul Getty to the Los Angeles art museum that bears his name because, adjusted for inflation, that gift would be three times the Walton gift to the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art). Otherwise, why use such a geographical descriptor at all? Perhaps to distance and distinguish the place from uber-urban LA?
The commentary in Legal Ruralism adds a finishing touch to this excellent ARTINFO critique by Ben Davis. He refers to both the New Yorker and the NYT piece as "object lessons in embedded biography [that sacrifice] critical conscience for access to one of the world's richest women." Mr. Davis places the news of Crystal Bridges alongside the inescapable events unfolding in the Supreme Court: the Walmart class-action lawsuit on the behalf of 1.5 million women. The dismissal of this case, just as Crystal Bridges is receiving a new wave of media attention, links the art itself to the mode in which its necessary capital was acquired. In addition, this news complicates these rural-urban, high-low binaries (even if they are false binaries):
The tale being told here is that of an outsider from Arkansas who somehow has won over the art establishment (could it be through the loads and loads of cash she has lavished on art-buying?), but who still faces discrimination from snobs who just don't believe there can be a great art institution in what Walton calls "heartland America." As she told the Times about her dealings with the East Coast establishment, "A lot of people there don't really know this part of the world, really don't know the people here and the desire and the need for art." Touching on the uproar that greeted Walton when she bought Asher B. Durand's "Kindred Spirits" from the New York Public Library — an act that caused critics to cry that the Big Apple was being robbed of its patrimony — Crystal Bridges director Dan Bacigalupi tells the New Yorker's Mead, "You could extend that argument, and say no works of art belong in Arkansas, and that is an absurd thing to say." (Tony art types, meanwhile, may really not be happy in Bentonville, Mead suggests — the town currently only "offers the kind of hospitality-chain establishments guaranteed to dismay bicoastal types." Those snobby bicoastal types.)
The fact that the profile dwells on these issues seems to be a way to deflect the more meaningful controversies that have circled around Walton's art museum. There may indeed have been some snobbery in some of the ruckus about the Durand being spirited away from New York. But the most sophisticated critique, that of Rebecca Solnit in TomDispatch, was really more about how the proto-conservationist and pro-labor values that formed the background for the painting of "Kindred Spirits" were fundamentally out of step with the values represented by Walmart: ugly sprawl and poverty wages. And that critique is mentioned in the New Yorker, but fundamentally left unaddressed.
At the risk of merely excerpting Mr. Davis's entire editorial, let me simply recommend that folks make time to consider his points, as he continues from here to discuss the collection itself (which is weak on more contemporary American work) and the Crystal Bridges' alledged manipulation of state government.
For further reading, consider Lee Rosenbaum's article "The Walton Effect: Art World is Roiled by Wal-Mart Heiress," Though the piece was published in the Wall Street Journal in 2007, it captures the early narrative of how Alice Walton was perceived by some as a "hovering culture vulture." Ms. Rosenbaum writes the influential CultureGrrl blog at ArtsJournal (highly recommended), and this 2009 article will also provide some context on the controversies surrounding the building of Crystal Bridges.
Indeed, Ms. Rosenbaum published her critique of the New Yorker piece yesterday, and her penetrating assessment of Carol Vogel's New York Times article can be read here as well. Beyond the other other issues tied up in Crystal Bridges, Ms. Rosenbaum suggests that the kind of rhetorical strategies which made Walmart such a profitable force may not hold similar sway with arts audiences:
As Vogel noted (and as I was also told by the museum's curators), it wasn't until 2005 that Alice began collecting with the museum in mind. Her holdings before that were, for the most part, of less importance, as I was informed during my visit.
That recent conversion to serious collecting is part of what makes the first paragraph of Vogel's article so eyebrow-raising: The other great museum founders whom she placed in the same league with Walton had put the horse before the cart: They were already voracious acquirers of great things before they envisioned creating a facility to institutionalize their collecting achievements and share them with the public.
Crystal Bridges will rise or fall on its collection. No amount of grandiose architecture and daring feats of engineering (for both the museum facility and the landscape) can trump the as-yet-unknown depth, breadth and quality of the collection.

Responding To The Kansas Arts Veto
Kansas Governor Brownback signing the 2012 state budget; John Hanna
As many of our readers have heard, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback used the power of his line-item veto to erase funding for the Kansas Arts Commission from the 2012 state budget, a move that effectively shut down the organization and fired its staff. By deleting this state-sponsored entity, Governor Brownback also shut the door on matching funds The National Endowment for the Arts would have granted to the Kansas Arts Commission.
Today we'd like to offer some viewpoints and commentary on this issue and its devastating repercussions for rural communities. We'll begin with this recent NPR report by Elizabeth Blair, aired on Morning Edition last week. Ms. Blair's piece is an excellent introduction to this debate, and to the contrary opinions by some in the arts community that suggest private funding would be a more effective and more liberating avenue. Below is an excerpt:
Private dollars have been really good for the Topeka Civic Theatre and Academy where Shannon Reilly is artistic director. The company is celebrating its 75th year. "Through most of that history we've been funded solely through ticket revenue, donors and corporate support," Reilly says.
Reilly says for the most part, they have avoided government grants and that has worked to their advantage. "More and more I've seen that arts organizations ... receiving tax dollars were constantly under fire about their programming and what they were doing," Reilly explains. "I like being responsible to my donors and to the people who were investing in what were doing more than a larger tax base."
While this model is certainly attractive, only at the close of her piece does Ms. Blair allow for this harsh reality: private funding for the arts is likely to replace (or exceed) public funding only in urban areas. We can turn to this Kansas Citizens for the Arts press release for further analysis of the rural dimension to Governor Brownback's arts veto:
“With a stroke of his pen, the governor cost the State of Kansas $1.2 million,” said Henry Schwaller, chairman of the Kansas Arts Commission. “On July 1, nearly 200 local arts organizations and artists will lose critical support for local arts programs, operational funding and professional development. Without this support, jobs in the arts are at risk, and artists and arts organizations will lose the important infrastructure that has been created largely because of the funding and expertise of the Kansas Arts Commission.
Kansas Arts Commission grants were crucial to many organizations, particularly those in rural areas. If an organization received funds from the Kansas Arts Commission, donors were more likely to contribute to that organization, which leveraged additional dollars for the organization and its community. Because few foundation or corporate donors provide money for operations, the Kansas Arts Commission’s main grant program, Operational Support, was an important way organizations covered general expenses such as rent, utilities and salaries. Many organizations, particularly those in rural or impoverished areas, will find it difficult to replace the lost state and federal funds and will either restrict or eliminate important community programs, cut staff or close their doors.
The horrible irony here is that Governor Brownback's veto will disproportionately affect the life of the rural communities from which he has drawn overwhelming political support. His gambit overlays a national "culture wars" argument on the local arts programming in towns far removed from urban centers. As The Kansas City Star writes in a recent editorial, Governor Brownback is "hoping to make points with conservatives nationally," while ignoring the local and regional dynamics:
As was the case with Brownback’s misguided attack on public broadcasting, he’s applying a national conservative cause to his home state, without considering the damaging impact on rural areas. Public broadcasting provides one of the only sources of news and information in the sparsely populated western half of the state. Urban areas, the target of this notion, have other options and can replace public funding. The elimination of public arts funding, again, isn’t likely to hurt the Kansas City area as much as Lincoln County, Kan.
As rural developers know well, while technology makes it possible to create new business in the high plains, new business will consider quality of life as much, perhaps more, than tax advantages. Brownback has handed surrounding states an effective tool to beat Kansas communities looking to attract doctors and needed professionals.
In the space of this site, we've tried to document and also to complicate the notion of "the rural arts," but Governor Brownback's arts veto sets a giant and unmistakable corrective in the midst of this project. While we can turn to The Daily Yonder and The Rural Blog for their excellent and consistent coverage toward defining what's at stake in the organizing "rural" moniker, there's another dimension to the other half, the "arts" definition, that we at The Art of the Rural have been perhaps slow to cover--and it lurks beneath the articles excerpted above.
This would be the irreducible political element, voluntary or not, that always coheres around the reception of the rural arts. What we find here is an amalgamation of regional assumptions, as well as preconceived notions about the "place" of the arts; in many respects it's a remnant of the politically polarizing climate of post-9/11 America. To return to the dreaded red-state/blue-state mindset (as I intimately learned while living in Boston), a great deal of people from the larger urban and suburban centers of America implicitly view arts-making as a "blue state" activity, complete with its own ideologies and politics.
What the Kansas arts veto makes abundantly clear is that even some public leaders from the interior of this country--despite a wealth of evidence beneath their noses--have refused to challenge this cultural orthodoxy, despite how reductive and just plain-wrong it might be. This is not a Republican vs. Democrat or conservative vs. liberal argument, but a case of recognizing that the arts are vital to all communities, and that they can speak for a range of viewpoints and cultural histories beyond the boogey-men of Robert Maplethorpe nudes or Chris Ofili elephant dung paintings.
In turn, those of us making art and working to ensure its reception need to continue to stress its "site specific" nature, and we need to welcome work which challenges our own political and cultural orthodoxies.
In closing, we will offer an excerpt from last weekend's Kansas City Star editorial by Joyce DiDonato, arguably the most acclaimed opera singer in contemporary classical music. Born in Prairie Village, Kansas, Ms. DiDonato has spoken up for her home state in interviews around the world, and in the press following her award of the illustrious Gramophone "Artist of the Year" in 201o. (Her broken-leg performance of The Barber of Seville has become the stuff of opera legend.)
Here is an excerpt from Ms. Didonato's eloquent response to Governor Brownback's decision:
This is the Sunflower State that I have proudly boasted about across the world, fearlessly defending it even in the face of harsh quizzical looks from the most skeptical of folks (“You live where?”). It’s the state of my first piano recital and choir concert. The home field of my artistic curiosity and education. The homeland that taught me to freely dream big and without limitation; one where the arts were once alive, vibrant and supported.
I’ve welcomed the assumption of being an unsolicited but mightily proud artistic ambassador for Kansas to the great cities of the world. Now, for the first time, I feel shame. Eliminating a state arts commission is an ignorant, short-sighted, fearful and unspeakably damaging act to the spirit and soul of this great state.
I’m not a politician or historian. I’m a humble opera singer, a home-grown product of an agricultural state that used to value the arts, like all great societies and cultures of the past. But my anger rivals a good ol’ western Kansas Category 5 tornado’s destructive force when I begin to think of where I’d be without an education fueled by the arts that informed my way of thinking. Or without a community theater, choir or art exhibit that gave me true solace and an emergency exit from some of the great crises in my life. Or without that musical outlet that helped me understand myself and the mystery of life a little better.

The Vernacular: Our Blueberries
Thank you so much for card. I hadn't much hope Flora's young man would be leaving: and of course she will not want to go if she has a good place, if he doesn't go. I may get someone else, I hear Mrs. Evan Gertrude wants a place. So sorry you had a headache. We have cool nights but warm, sunshining days. Johanna likes it very much here. I daresay you have blueberries too. Regards to your friends, A. F.
Some of our blueberries are aburst like grapes: they are so large!

Saturday Song: Charley Patton
This week we published two entries from Donald Culross Peattie's Almanac For Moderns that documented the seventeen-year cicada as it emerged from the earth in 1934, in Northern Illinois. A few years earlier, a delta musician sat down to record a song about another agricultural plague.
In 1929, Charley Patton (recording as "The Masked Marvel") entered "Mississippi Bo Weavil Blues" into the American blues canon. While I imagine most folks are already familiar with the legendary, transcendent work of Charley Patton, more information and further links can be found here. Born in 1891, he jolted from the Dockery Plantation in Mississippi to become one of the first celebrities in the era of recorded blues. Like Robert Johnson, his life was tumultous and cut short far too early.
Here's Stephen Calt writing in the liner notes to the excellent Yazoo records Charley Patton: Founder of the Delta Blues:
Mississippi Bo Weavil was a unique seven bar song that Patton played in 1910, when the bo weavil struck his native Sunflower County. Despite its one chord accompaniment and simple vocal melody consisting of three basic notes, it is an almost inimitable work. Its single line stanzas pair fourteen beat vocal phrases with ten beat bottleneck riffs, usually followed by a measure of tonic chord strumming. The pitch (C3) Patton sounded with a bottleneck immediately after the vocal phrase was one of his favorite devices: he sounds similar high pitches in "A Spoonful Blues" and "When Your Way Gets Dark."

Rural Poetry Series: Patrick Kavanagh
Patrick Kavanagh (1904-1967) was born into a farming family in County Monaghan, Ireland. He spent the first part of his adult life farming those same fields in the small townland of Inniskeen, an experience which gave rise to the long poem many consider to be his masterpiece, The Great Hunger. Despite the pastoral fantasies many urban poets projected onto the Irish rural, Kavanagh's poem told the story of the economic, cultural and even sexual poverty of life "beyond the pale." For its frankness, and for the ways in which it threatened the politically-useful images of "the Irish peasant," The Great Hunger--as with James Joyce's Ulysses--was banned in Ireland upon its publication.
In the years following The Great Hunger, Kavanagh continued to present the realities of Irish rural life--but also its communal mysteries. After surviving lung surgery, Kavanagh created a series of lush and circumspect poems that unified rural and urban experience within a timeless and benedictory continuum. (See "Canal Bank Walk")
Midway through this poetic career, Patrick Kavanagh composed "Epic," a poem that looks back on his rural place, and its local peculiarities, at the moment when the outside world was bracing itself for World War Two. While poets from Ireland, America and beyond cite "Epic" as an influential affirmation of local culture, Paul Muldoon--one of the rural-born Irish poets to inherit Kavanagh's concerns--points us towards considering the complications of assigning one "importance" over another. We find this profound and simultaneously ambiguous poem related to many of the recent articles and conversations we have featured:
I have lived in important places, times
When great events were decided: who owned
That half a rood of rock, a no-man's land
Surrounded by our pitchfork-armed claims.
I heard the Duffys shouting 'Damn your soul'
And old McCabe, stripped to the waist, seen
Step the plot defying blue cast-steel –
'Here is the march along these iron stones'.
That was the year of the Munich bother. Which
Was most important? I inclined
To lose my faith in Ballyrush and Gortin
Till Homer's ghost came whispering to my mind.
He said: I made the Iliad from such
A local row. Gods make their own importance.

Creating An Open Canon Of The Rural Arts
photograph by Carlos A Varela
We plan to soon announce some exciting new additions and changes to the mission and practice of The Art of the Rural, as we reconsider how this site can be a resource for its readers. One of the major components to the work we are looking to accomplish is the creation of what we're calling an "open canon" of the rural arts--a compendium of artists, writers, organizations and media outlets that will be highlighted most prominently in our Rural Arts Links.
The idea of an "open canon" of the rural arts is based on the notion that those of us who want a fuller, more three-dimensional, vision of the scope of the rural arts can work together to craft a resource that can offer both the historical achievements of rural artists as well as the contemporary dynamics of rural art-making.
We believe that, together, can use a Web 2.0 approach to join in the voices advocating for a new place for the rural arts--and we'd like to invite all of our readers to help participate in this work.
Over the next few weeks we are looking to update The Rural Arts Links, and we would value any input our readers might be willing to offer. What is missing from this list? What artists, organizations, issues have we failed to include within the Links or within the content of the site itself? We'd love to hear your suggestions and feedback. Please send an email to [email protected] or reply in the comments section of the Rural Arts Links.
Thanks again for reading The Art of the Rural.
The Farmers and Freaks of Greg Brown's Iowa
photograph by Richard Sennott, Minneapolis Star-Tribune
This weekend I had the pleasure of spending a few days in Riverside, Iowa, a small town located about twenty minutes south of Iowa City. My experiences in Riverside will undoubtedly lead to a few articles here and a few shared links on our Facebook page; though I've spent most of my life in the cities and small towns of the Midwest, my time in rural southeastern Iowa clarified how the organizational term "The Midwest" simply doesn't do justice to the varied cultures and approaches to place within these states.
One of the pleasures of my time in Iowa was having the chance to read The Des Moines Register, and the writing of Kyle Munson, a columnist who covers Iowa arts and culture with both clarity and personality. Mr. Munson is from Silver City (a proud fifth-generation Iowan); his columns draw from his family connections across the state and from his years as a music reviewer and a freelance feature writer. His goal is to report from as many communities as possible in the state, a mission that can be followed via the Register's interactive map.
Sunday morning I settled in with the physical copy of the Des Moines Register and found Mr. Munson's latest work, a review of the album release party for Greg Brown's Freak Flag:
Folk singer Brown, 61, has served as the unofficial voice of Iowa for decades. Dropping the words "rumbling" and "baritone" into the same sentence is almost a requirement when describing the powerful growl with which he has dispensed love songs as well as odes to the prairie. Yet Thursday night in Iowa City, he also showcased a playful falsetto during his party for "Freak Flag" at the Mill, the restaurant/bar that is one of his favorite old haunts.
At first glance, isn't Brown singing about freaks sort of like Lady Gaga singing about canning tomatoes?
Hardly. "Freak Flag," if anything, brings his career into sharper focus - putting a finer point on the rural hippie persona he has crafted through his rich, celebrated song catalog. It's almost a bookend to the more straightforward nostalgia of the title track to his album "The Iowa Waltz" 30 years ago (not performed Thursday). Back then he paid tribute to his "home in the midst of the corn" - more of an anthem for farmers.
Folks unfamiliar with Greg Brown's music may already know his sensibility, as he was the musical director A Prairie Home Companion for a number of years and the co-founder of the Red House roots record label. As Mr. Munson writes, "Iowa's recent history almost [could] be charted" across the songs in his recent set. Below I'll share a few of the tracks Mr. Munson suggests:

Almanac For Moderns: Cicada Song
June Twelfth
Nothing has done me more good than to hear that the cicadas have all got a plague. The newspapers are carrying stories about it. A blue-green mold which is always more or less present on the summer cicada has attacked the seventeen-year variety with terrific vehemence, and mycologists and entomologists alike are excited about it. Apparently the fungus does not kill more than a fraction of the dog-day cicadas, who have probably built up a certain resistance to it. The periodical cicadas, emerging in tremendous numbers, comparable to overcrowding in our city slums, are seized upon by the disease and their vitals swiftly eaten out. Spores for spreading the malady push out from the corpses and sow the air with death to others.
So, though the cicadas emerge by the billions of billions in fourteen different states, a check upon them is always waiting. I have found several cicadas being carried off by predatory wasps, and the woods about the house are suddenly alive with woodpeckers, chewinks, orioles, flickers, sparrows, grackles and robins, fattening on the winged harvest.
June Thirteenth
There is no diminution yet in the uproar, but my lightened heart gives me grace to take some interest in the biology of the creatures. The period of seventeen years is varied, in the southern states, to thirteen years, and the recurrence of the adults is further made irregular by the fact that there are more than a score of broods in different parts of the country, each having its own years for the rhythmic emergence, or, as we might say, starting off on a different beat, though all keeping the same rhythm. In some areas several broods overlap, so that the cicada years occur oftener than every seventeen years. Some of the broods occupy immense areas, but others are more restricted and feeble.
No other insect in the world has such a long life as this, nor a life history so disproportionate. To be sure, the summer cicada spends a year underground and another of life above it, but as there are two broods, we always have the common cicada with us. But the periodical cicada spends seventeen years as grub, and sometimes no better than seventeen days as a free creature of the sunlight and air.
The fate of the insect seems miserable enough to us, but in fact the strange life history is distinctly advantageous to the creature itself. Its seventeen years underground do not represent prison to the cicada, but comfort and safety, such as a mole or an earthworm knows. It is only when this animal, which we must regard as a naturally subterranean species, takes the dangerous step of emerging into the air that it has any reason to sorrow. For, as so often happens, the moment of sexual maturity is also the moment of predestined death. Nature flings the sexes at each other and then, having no more use of them, she draws her sword and slays them.
From Extraction to Preservation in Colorado
This morning on NPR's Neda Ulaby submitted a report from Ignacio, Colorado, the site of the recently-completed Southern Ute Cultural Center and Museum--a $38 million dollar building that preserves Ute history (along with many objects repatriated from the Smithsonian) and also re-presents contemporary Ute culture to the home community and to the regions' tourists. Here's a concise summary of the Cultural Center and Museum's many offerings, excerpted from their press release:
The new 52,000-square-foot facility is a stunning addition to the architectural landscape in southwest Colorado. As the only tribally-owned cultural center in Colorado, the museum has been developed to conserve and promote the history and culture of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and other Native Americans so that the Tribe’s young people and the community will always be known and will remember what it means to be Southern Ute.
The state-of-the-art museum will house the Tribe’s existing collection of more than 1,500 artifacts and provide space as the collection grows. It also will include a multi-media room, permanent and temporary exhibit rooms, arts and crafts classrooms, and gathering spaces for Tribal and community functions.
What's striking about Ms. Ulaby's short piece, especially in relation to the recent March on Blair Mountain, is the source of the Ute's newfound wealth:
In the late 19th century, the U.S. government divided the Ute people into three different tribes, sending them north or west and letting some stay where they were.
"We remained here," explains museum board Chairman Robert Burch, who grew up on a Ute reservation near Colorado's border with New Mexico. "Little did they know we were sitting on oil — natural gas. And once we started getting it out of the ground [and] producing it, we became a wealthy tribe."
So while the Southern Utes have fewer than 1,500 members, the tribe is worth billions — it's literally a case study in expert resource management.
While Ms. Ulaby was certainly working within a very tight word count for her Morning Edition piece, there seems to be a larger story, or at least a productive series of conversations, that might emerge from the news of this gorgeous new facility. Given the increasing (and long-overdue) media attention paid to natural gas drilling, we have here not only a "case study in expert resource management" but a workable example of how the cash windfall from a messy and environmentally-damaging extractive industry has been "managed" in such a way as to provide something sustainable long after the money and the jobs from natural gas drilling have left the region. Looking to the future, many of our rural communities which are anticipating the arrival of the drills and rigs may want to take notice of this model.
Yet I am sure that the comments section for Ms. Ulaby's piece will also become populated with listeners curious about the "fracking" backstory. In fact, Jim Moscou contributed a piece for Newsweek in 2008 that dealt with a toxic spill at a Southern Ute natural gas drilling operation that seriously endangered one worker and an Emergency Room nurse (contaminated in the ER with the fracturing chemicals). As Mr. Moscou writes in the conclusion, regulators are faced with many challenges, as the wells' location on Native lands put "federal, state and local oversight further out of reach."
Undoubtedly, a trip to the Southern Ute Cultural Center and Museum site will insure that today's story is a positive one. Yet, we also find a narrative of extraction--and, further back, colonization itself--that points to a far more complex story that reporters, artists, and community members will tell and retell in the years ahead.
Two Documentary We Should Consider...[Gasland]
40 Years in the West: High Country News

The White House Rural Council
Yesterday, by Executive Order, President Barack Obama announced the formation of the White House Rural Council, a cabinet-level group charged with assessing both the challenges and the unique assets inherent in Rural America. This is a historic announcement, the first such high-level council with an explicit focus on rural development. Here's an excerpt from the press release:
“Strong rural communities are key to a stronger America,” said President Barack Obama. “That’s why I’ve established the White House Rural Council to make sure we’re working across government to strengthen rural communities and promote economic growth.”
The White House Rural Council will coordinate programs across government to encourage public-private partnerships to promote further economic prosperity and quality of life in rural communities nationwide. Chaired by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, the Council will be responsible for providing recommendations for investment in rural areas and will coordinate Federal engagement with a variety of rural stakeholders, including agricultural organizations, small businesses, and state, local, and tribal governments.
“Rural America makes significant contributions to the security, prosperity, and economic strength of our country,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “The Rural Council announced by President Obama shows his continued focus on promoting economic opportunity, creating jobs, and enhancing the quality of life for those who live in rural America. Together with the rest of the Obama administration, USDA has worked to support families and businesses in rural communities so that their success will pay dividends for all Americans.”
Next week we'll offer more of our perspective on this news, but until then, the full detailed press release can be viewed here. While, of course, there are political benefits to such a council's formation, this news is promising--and we will be following the arts and culture dynamic to this Council as the story develops. We're curious how a representative from the National Endowment for the Arts might contribute to this discussion.
Last year, on the eve of the midterm elections, I contributed this reflection on Candidate Barack Obama's unannounced campaign stop in my hometown of Smithfield, Ohio--days before the 2008 vote. This week, his White House Rural Council is charged with addressing the needs, and the very real frustrations, of these same folks he met for a few brief moments:
Two Years Later in One Rural Town
A little over two years ago, Senator Barack Obama campaigned through the Ohio Valley on the eve of the presidential election. En route from one rally to another, his tour bus passed through my hometown of Smithfield, Ohio. In an unplanned move, the candidate stopped for a brief moment to greet folks who had gathered to cheer along the motorcade. I'm grateful that someone with a digital camera captured this moment for posterity; as the candidate emerges from the long-awaited bus, he seems almost to be returning from a moment of goodwill that we have since misplaced.
When Obama pulled out of Smithfield, Ohio, what he left was a town still resilient in the face of many of the same issues that haunt all of rural America. The main street our future President stood upon was shadow of its former glory--abandoned businesses, dilapidated houses, the high school long gone--but also a metaphor for a state-of-the-nation we sought to amend. As the motorcade snaked its way along the ridge leading out of town, it passed farms owned and preserved with great difficulty by generations of families; among the cattle and crops, as with my family's farm, sat the giant strip pits--old enough to be unreclaimed--standing for another metaphor we invested in a candidate's care.
I wonder how the folks in the video would react if the President's bus stopped again, unannounced, in Smithfield. What would they discuss, what tone would this discussion take? I ponder this as the video plays again, as the images begin to move like ghosts across the computer screen--a moment lost, a memory consigned to the past.
Aside from our own party preferences, there's no denying that a sense of decorum has vacated our political discourse; while this is no doubt a reflection of our national recession--already mature in November 2008--it is also a comment on our willingness to think, with generosity and civility, beyond ourselves and beyond our own perspectives. Now, more than ever, we need artists to challenge our neighbors' (and our own) frustrated myopia.

Privilege At Play: Developed Nations Seek Climate Change Damages From India, China

With the worsening state of global climate, India may also be facing a possible financial issue. The UN Climate Conference (COP27) has asked for India and China, relatively underdeveloped countries when compared to their global counterparts, to contribute to the ‘Loss and Damage’ fund.
This move can be considered as one of the ‘most critical’ issues before poor and vulnerable countries, as this demand goes against India’s firm belief that only ‘historical emitters’, i.e., developed countries should have to contribute to the fund.
The office of Egypt’s president said that it has ‘very divergent’ views on the matter, which will be a topic of discussion at COP27. First world countries are pushing for the less developed but “high income countries except the small island developing states”, including countries like India and China, to contribute to the fund when it gets set up.
The ‘Loss and Damage’ proposal which has been presented by the G77 group (a group of 134 developing countries including India) and China is guided by the principles of the Paris Agreement, “including the principle of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities (countries will contribute in a proportionate manner to their respective circumstances) in the light of different national circumstances, and taking into account historical responsibilities”. The funds will help the member countries in meeting their ‘non-economic’ and ‘economic’ damages associated with the adverse effects of climate change.
Following the fund set-up, the proposal also suggested that a ‘Transitional Committee’ should develop the ‘objectives’, ‘principles’ and ‘operational modalities’ of the fund, and asked that the group convene its first meeting latest by March 2023. 194 members at the UN climate convention decided to introduce the ‘Loss and Damage funding’ as an agenda in a COP27 summit. This fund will serve as an important measure for struggling African nations and island countries.
A developing-country observer reported, “US, Germany, EU have objected to the G77+China proposal. They have initiated talks of asking India and China to contribute to ‘Loss and Damage’ funding. It appears that this is an attempt to break the G77+China unity on this matter. The developed countries are not inspiring confidence because they are only talking about processes, meetings and workshops but are resistant to a funding facility.”
An unnamed Indian delegate explained that ‘report 6’ of the ‘Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s’ (IPCC) is proof that global warming is ‘directly proportional’ to the contribution to cumulative CO2 emissions. “All CO2 emissions, whenever they take place, contribute equally to warming. So, when the conversations on loss and damage began is not relevant to the contribution to emissions. For historical cumulative emissions from the pre-industrial period till 2019, India’s share is less than 4%, as noted by the Working Group III Report of the IPCC AR6.”
Another assessment by India shows that the cumulative carbon emissions debt (1850 – 2019) by the ‘Annex-I countries’ (rich nations) amount to carbon ‘790 GtCO2’ – roughly rounding up their debt to $79 trillion. Harjeet Singh, the head of global political strategy at Climate Action Network International, expressed that this demand by ‘rich nations’ is simply an attempt to ‘break’ G77 and China unity, and “completely evade historical responsibility”.
Frans Timmermans, the executive vice president at the European Commission for the European Green Deal, said that China is one of the ‘biggest economies’ with a lot of financial strength, and hence, he admittedly fails to see “why should they not be made co responsible for funding loss numbers?”

That One Lucky Moment
Godelieve Uncategorized July 13, 2019 2 Minutes
The people who stand before kings may look like they did it all by themselves. But in fact they are invariably the beneficiaries of hidden advantages and extraordinary opportunities and cultural legacies that allow them to learn and work hard and make sense of the world in ways others cannot. It makes a difference where and when we grew up. … It’s not enough to ask what successful people are like, in other words. It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeeds and who doesn’t. p.19
We pretend that success is exclusively a matter of individual merit. But there’s nothing in any of the histories we’ve looked at so far to suggest things are that simple. These are stories, instead, about people who were given a special opportunity to work really hard and seized it, and who happened to come of age at a time when that extraordinary effort was rewarded by the rest of society. Their success was not just of their own making. It was a product of the world in which they grew up. p.67
Outliers are those who have been given opportunities – and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them. p.267
Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers
Charlie Rose: “There is a book out by Malcolm Gladwell, which is called ‘Outliers’, it really is the story of looking at success and performance and talent, people who have achieved something special. … You are sitting here, because you had parents who lived in LA, who were willing to make some sacrifice, who cared about you have a chance to pursue your dreams, but if you had grown up somewhere else, with different kind of parents, you might not be sitting here, as Leo DiCaprio, one of America’s and one of the world’s well-known actors.”
Leonardo DiCaprio: “That and a combination with the fact that you have that one lucky moment. And that you can’t discount. I don’t care what somebody else says, whether somebody has talent or not, or whether they were destined for a certain career, if you don’t get that one opportunity and you where not there at the right time to seize it and you didn’t go for it, none of it would have happened. I would not have the career I have right now whatsoever.”

NATO Endorses Missile System, More Troops for Afghanistan
By Steven Erlanger and Steven Lee Myers Apr. 4, 2008
NATO leaders agreed Thursday to endorse a U.S. missile defense system based in Europe and to provide more troops for Afghanistan, but they refused to back President Bush’s proposal to bring Ukraine and Georgia closer to NATO membership.
Washington’s failure to win over Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and other crucial European countries to its view on Ukraine and Georgia was considered by some countries of Central and Eastern Europe to have sent a message of alliance weakness to Moscow, a day before the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, makes his first visit to a NATO summit.
But Bush could claim success in persuading NATO to endorse his missile-defense plan in the face of Russian objections, and on Thursday signed an agreement with the Czech Republic to build radar for the system.
“There has been, over 10 years, a real debate as to whether there is a ballistic missile threat,” said Bush’s national security adviser, Stephen J. Hadley. “And I think that debate ended today.” Bush also succeeded in getting NATO to agree to increase troop numbers in Afghanistan, a Washington priority.
Putin has objected strongly to building parts of the missile defense system in former Soviet bloc states, despite Washington’s assurances that the system is a response to threats from Iran, not from Russia. Putin, saying the system would fuel a new arms race, has even threatened to aim Russian missiles at the system, while also offering the use of a substitute system in Azerbaijan.
NATO’s final statement invited Russia to cooperate with the United States and Europe on developing defenses jointly.
Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the international affairs committee of the Russian parliament, said that missile defense would be high on the agenda for the meeting between Bush and Putin in Sochi, a Russian resort, scheduled after the NATO conference, which Putin is to attend Friday.
Kosachev said Russia doubted Washington’s motives. “We still do not have a proper explanation of this project,” he said. “It is not about the number of interceptors. It’s about undermining mutual confidence and trust.”
The main contributor to more troops in Afghanistan was France. President Nicolas Sarkozy said Paris would send another battalion — some 700 troops — to eastern Afghanistan. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4229 | {"url": "https://thetech.com/2008/04/04/long2-v128-n16", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "thetech.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:19:46Z", "digest": "sha1:ELWNRICUGI5EPOS6P4YFIAXQCVBWGDIM"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2515, 2515.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2515, 3125.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2515, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2515, 59.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2515, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2515, 287.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2515, 0.36075949]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2515, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2515, 0.04752667]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2515, 0.04752667]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2515, 0.04752667]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2515, 0.04752667]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2515, 0.01939864]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2515, 0.01891368]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2515, 0.03491756]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2515, 0.02953586]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2515, 0.14135021]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2515, 0.56435644]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2515, 5.1039604]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2515, 5.00222181]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2515, 404.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 106, 0.0], [106, 123, 0.0], [123, 181, 0.0], [181, 234, 0.0], [234, 471, 1.0], [471, 820, 1.0], [820, 1030, 1.0], [1030, 1335, 1.0], [1335, 1720, 1.0], [1720, 1837, 1.0], [1837, 2124, 1.0], [2124, 2343, 1.0], [2343, 2515, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 106, 0.0], [106, 123, 0.0], [123, 181, 0.0], [181, 234, 0.0], [234, 471, 0.0], [471, 820, 0.0], [820, 1030, 0.0], [1030, 1335, 0.0], [1335, 1720, 0.0], [1720, 1837, 0.0], [1837, 2124, 0.0], [2124, 2343, 0.0], [2343, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 106, 15.0], [106, 123, 3.0], [123, 181, 8.0], [181, 234, 10.0], [234, 471, 38.0], [471, 820, 58.0], [820, 1030, 35.0], [1030, 1335, 50.0], [1335, 1720, 64.0], [1720, 1837, 17.0], [1837, 2124, 45.0], [2124, 2343, 34.0], [2343, 2515, 27.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 106, 0.0], [106, 123, 0.0], [123, 181, 0.0], [181, 234, 0.1], [234, 471, 0.0], [471, 820, 0.0], [820, 1030, 0.0], [1030, 1335, 0.00677966], [1335, 1720, 0.0], [1720, 1837, 0.0], [1837, 2124, 0.0], [2124, 2343, 0.0], [2343, 2515, 0.01764706]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 106, 0.0], [106, 123, 0.0], [123, 181, 0.0], [181, 234, 0.0], [234, 471, 0.0], [471, 820, 0.0], [820, 1030, 0.0], [1030, 1335, 0.0], [1335, 1720, 0.0], [1720, 1837, 0.0], [1837, 2124, 0.0], [2124, 2343, 0.0], [2343, 2515, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 106, 0.13207547], [106, 123, 0.11764706], [123, 181, 0.17241379], [181, 234, 0.13207547], [234, 471, 0.07172996], [471, 820, 0.05730659], [820, 1030, 0.04761905], [1030, 1335, 0.04590164], [1335, 1720, 0.02077922], [1720, 1837, 0.06837607], [1837, 2124, 0.04529617], [2124, 2343, 0.02739726], [2343, 2515, 0.04651163]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2515, 0.69582665]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2515, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2515, 0.98123187]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2515, -121.13645074]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2515, 88.74050193]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2515, -27.18270211]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2515, 21.0]]} |

Botulinum Toxin Injections
By thevirginiaadvoc on Tuesday, December 27, 2022
Botulinum toxin injections can be used to treat a number of conditions. They are also used for cosmetic reasons.
The treatment works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is found at the neuromuscular junction. When the acetylcholine is blocked, the muscle weakens. It can help to treat urinary incontinence, spasticity and dystonia.
The botulinum toxin used is injected directly into the muscles. This treatment is usually well tolerated, but there are some side effects. In addition to the typical injection pain, bruising and drooping eyelids, a person can experience itching, swelling and temporary difficulty swallowing.
People who have undergone the treatment often notice a noticeable improvement in their symptoms within three days. However, they will not see the full results until about two to three weeks after the procedure.
Can I Combine Facial Fillers And Botox Treatments For Maximum Effect
Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting for 12 hours after the injection. Also, rubbing the areas where the injection has been made should be avoided for four hours.
Toxins are often used in cosmetic treatments, including the removal of lines and wrinkles. But they can be dangerous. Especially if they are injected into the eye area, they can cause a serious problem.
Before having the procedure, it is important to talk to your doctor and discuss the potential risks. You will also need to make sure that the injector is experienced and qualified.
If you have any questions before your procedure, your doctor or practitioner will be happy to answer them. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4231 | {"url": "https://thevirginiaadvocate.com/2022/12/27/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "thevirginiaadvocate.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:02:32Z", "digest": "sha1:FGAPCPPQ2IUWKCXEIDYHEBEZRUHG5RUI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1671, 1671.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1671, 2409.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1671, 11.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1671, 67.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1671, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1671, 130.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1671, 0.4261745]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1671, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1671, 0.03056769]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1671, 0.0349345]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1671, 0.0033557]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1671, 0.12080537]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1671, 0.61132075]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1671, 5.18490566]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1671, 4.77858566]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1671, 265.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 77, 0.0], [77, 190, 1.0], [190, 439, 1.0], [439, 731, 1.0], [731, 942, 1.0], [942, 1011, 0.0], [1011, 1181, 1.0], [1181, 1384, 1.0], [1384, 1565, 1.0], [1565, 1671, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 77, 0.0], [77, 190, 0.0], [190, 439, 0.0], [439, 731, 0.0], [731, 942, 0.0], [942, 1011, 0.0], [1011, 1181, 0.0], [1181, 1384, 0.0], [1384, 1565, 0.0], [1565, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 27, 3.0], [27, 77, 7.0], [77, 190, 19.0], [190, 439, 36.0], [439, 731, 43.0], [731, 942, 34.0], [942, 1011, 11.0], [1011, 1181, 29.0], [1181, 1384, 34.0], [1384, 1565, 31.0], [1565, 1671, 18.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 77, 0.12765957], [77, 190, 0.0], [190, 439, 0.0], [439, 731, 0.0], [731, 942, 0.0], [942, 1011, 0.0], [1011, 1181, 0.01204819], [1181, 1384, 0.0], [1384, 1565, 0.0], [1565, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 77, 0.0], [77, 190, 0.0], [190, 439, 0.0], [439, 731, 0.0], [731, 942, 0.0], [942, 1011, 0.0], [1011, 1181, 0.0], [1181, 1384, 0.0], [1384, 1565, 0.0], [1565, 1671, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 27, 0.11111111], [27, 77, 0.06], [77, 190, 0.01769912], [190, 439, 0.01204819], [439, 731, 0.01027397], [731, 942, 0.00947867], [942, 1011, 0.15942029], [1011, 1181, 0.01176471], [1181, 1384, 0.01477833], [1384, 1565, 0.01104972], [1565, 1671, 0.00943396]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1671, 0.25780225]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1671, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1671, 0.01723462]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1671, -33.59039276]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1671, 16.80169887]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1671, -40.08477097]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1671, 18.0]]} |

Making an easy to update site on a server without any server-side code
I guess you could call this part three of the “ajax, json, html, css, easy to update non-server-scripted website series!” This time I will get into my design plans for the client application. It has not been created yet, so there will be some guess work here. Writing this will also help me figure out […]
No, but there is more…much more thanks to my new friend ajax.
As I mentioned in the previous post, I made a static website in html, css, javascript, and json. It works pretty good and that’s great. The problem is my sister is the one who should be adding/editing content because it is her site. So the question is, how can I make an easily update-able site […] | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4232 | {"url": "https://thewayofcoding.com/tag/client/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "thewayofcoding.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:38:45Z", "digest": "sha1:DIO43F64H6N6F6XWOLNL25WKJIZUKJZE"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 749, 749.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 749, 1063.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 749, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 749, 25.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 749, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 749, 257.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 749, 0.41618497]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 749, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 749, 0.02058319]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 749, 0.04116638]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 749, 0.02890173]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 749, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 749, 0.16763006]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 749, 0.70503597]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 749, 4.1942446]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 749, 0.01734104]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 749, 4.43950511]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 749, 139.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 12, 0.0], [12, 83, 0.0], [83, 389, 0.0], [389, 451, 1.0], [451, 749, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 12, 0.0], [12, 83, 0.0], [83, 389, 0.0], [389, 451, 0.0], [451, 749, 1.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 12, 2.0], [12, 83, 13.0], [83, 389, 56.0], [389, 451, 12.0], [451, 749, 56.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 12, 0.0], [12, 83, 0.0], [83, 389, 0.0], [389, 451, 0.0], [451, 749, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 12, 0.0], [12, 83, 0.0], [83, 389, 0.0], [389, 451, 0.0], [451, 749, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 12, 0.08333333], [12, 83, 0.01408451], [83, 389, 0.01633987], [389, 451, 0.01612903], [451, 749, 0.02348993]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 749, 0.00226074]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 749, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 749, -4.29e-06]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 749, -41.74944167]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 749, -1.58778315]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 749, -88.7749398]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 749, 8.0]]} |

#128: Wine🍷Wisdom 38 Part 1/3 | The Daily Stoic – Awareness
Most people spend their time trying to be aware of what’s happening outside, allowing the external world to define the way they feel. The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday encourages you to go in the opposite direction, starting internally instead. In the first part of this episode of Wine & Wisdom, Thomas, Cam and Chris discuss the chapter of March, on the topic of “Awareness”. The boys discuss the lessons that resonated with them most, and a few of the gems they uncovered. It is becoming clear that with every page of this book they read, another piece of the puzzle is unlocked. In this part, Thomas brings a 2019 Chardonnay from Leeuwin Estate, Western Australia. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4235 | {"url": "https://thomaslehoang.com/128-wine%F0%9F%8D%B7wisdom-38-part-1-3-the-daily-stoic-awareness/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "thomaslehoang.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:02:19Z", "digest": "sha1:Z3JBPAICHVG7IVF2SPK7I76T5OAGJZIH"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 726, 726.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 726, 956.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 726, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 726, 15.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 726, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 726, 274.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 726, 0.37748344]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 726, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 726, 0.02758621]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 726, 0.04482759]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 726, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 726, 0.19205298]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 726, 0.696]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 726, 4.64]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 726, 0.00662252]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 726, 4.21394142]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 726, 125.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 726, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 726, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 60, 10.0], [60, 726, 115.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 60, 0.12962963], [60, 726, 0.00616333]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 60, 0.0], [60, 726, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 60, 0.11666667], [60, 726, 0.03453453]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 726, 0.02246869]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 726, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 726, 0.00176197]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 726, -34.96382608]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 726, 5.1995749]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 726, -4.93043919]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 726, 6.0]]} |
Guest Post: Fighting for the Health of Women, Children and Community in Guatemala – Access to Health Care #Marchis4Nutrition
In honor of National Nutrition Month in March, 1,000 Days is amplifying the critical role the world’s mothers play in nourishing the next generation through our annual online #Marchis4Nutrition campaign. Throughout the month, we will also be highlighting stories from our partners. Follow along and get involved on Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #Marchis4Nutrition.
The National Alliance of Indigenous Women for Reproductive Health (ALIANMISAR) consists of more than 90 organizations and actively participates in citizen monitoring, advocacy, and policy dialogue to promote better, more culturally-appropriate health services that are accessible to the indigenous populations, especially those living in rural areas and in poverty.
Vitalina de Leon Santos is a member of ALIANMISAR in Guatemala. This is her story.
My name is Vitalina de León Santos, I am 45 years old, married to Miguel Ajxup, a construction laborer, I live in the municipality of Momostenango, department of Totonicapán, Guatemala. I am the mother of two girls and a boy. The health of my children is my priority and although my family have scarce resources, I try to give them as much care as possible following the recommendations of the health services.
In 2012, municipality residents encouraged me to join the National Alliance of Indigenous Women for Reproductive Health (ALIANMISAR), which supports the HP+ project with USAID funds, to fight for our reproductive rights. In this organization, I have been involved in the training process that helped me to become aware, first of all, of the need to value myself as a woman and of the importance of my children’s health care. Since I became pregnant with my last daughter, Astrid Mireya Yulisa Ajxup de León 5 years ago, I took everything I learned into account and during my pregnancy I attended the health center to receive prenatal care where I was provided with iron and folic acid which I consumed with full knowledge of its importance. After the birth of Astrid, I gave her exclusive breastfeeding from the first hour of birth until she was 6 months old. I fed myself with cereals and stimulating herbs so that I had enough milk and my daughter was well nourished. After the six months, I have always tried to give her a healthy and nutritious diet. I also attended the Health Center so that my daughter had her complete immunization schedule, vitamins and deworming medications.
My daughter is 4 years old now and I am very proud because I believe that these efforts have results in her good health, since she has not been malnourished and has not become ill, despite the fact that in my community many children are suffering malnutrition (The chronic malnutrition rate in children under 5 is 52% in Momostenango Municipality, one of the highest in the country).
Now, as ALIANMISAR municipal coordinator, I participate in the meetings of the Municipal Commission for Food and Nutritional Security of Children and Adolescents, as well as the Municipal Development Council, which allows us to advocate for the approval of projects that benefit the health of our people. This is the case of the extension of the municipal capital health center for weight and height monitoring, which was requested to the municipality in 2017 and is currently being built.
I have also become a counselor about the upbringing and feeding of children in my community, visiting mothers to share the knowledge acquired in ALIANMISAR.
The ALIANMISAR is an organization of indigenous women that ensures compliance with reproductive rights and nutrition, with cultural relevance, through advocacy, monitoring and policy dialogue to promote the formulation and implementation of public policies that contribute to reducing maternal mortality and chronic malnutrition in Guatemala.

Designing for Live Performance / 12 Sep 2017 / Ran Tian
The Empty Space by Peter Brook
“the fixing was the beginning of a slide towards the deadly”
“We are on the verge of a formula, an equation that reads Theatre = R r a(Repetition, representation, assistance)”
I used to watch a lot of theaters in China. My understanding of the difference between a modern theater and any other performance is that there must have exaggerated stage settings and music. However, by bringing up the concept of “the deadly theatre”, Peter Brook is making me to think about all the possibilities for stage design. One theater doesn’t have to be shown like a machine that has a fixed rule – “contact with each new audience is often a matter of luck”. It can be changed when place, time, language, and audience change. We can take advantages of these change to tell the story. We will never know which point will really touch the deep heart of the audience. But because this unknown, the stage space is full of freedom for us to explore.
Visits to a small planet by Elanor Fuchs
Putting together space, time, the natural world and the social world, elements that change and those that don’t, you are discovering the “myth.”
Remember, there is nothing in the world of a play by accident.
Become curious as each element is revealed as a player in the play. Be someone who is aroused to meaning.
You can construct meaning in this world in many different ways. Construct it in the most inclusive way you can. There will still be more to see.
Theatre and performance are a brand new area for me. I felt lucky to read this insightful essay. It prompts to think of the play or performance as a ‘small planet’, an open space with its own geographies, cultures and systems, rather than in terms of a linear plot sequence or uncontextualized character analysis. By thinking about all the questions asked by Elanor Fuchs, I was surprised that how diverse it is to present a theatre, and how deep we can dig into the storytelling.
I was also impressed with one interesting thought, that we need to think what changes in ourself, as the imaginer of worlds. By thinking about this, I think we will be able to find the right to express ourself as the director or designer, and what’s important, to communicate with the audience.

Karlie Kloss is the epitome of the ideal American millennial woman. Since being discovered at 13, she has become a major model and a 34-time Vogue cover girl. I’ve worked with her on many campaigns, as I love her personality and the fact that she is her own woman. In spite of becoming financially independent at a very young age, Karlie continues to study and improve herself while remaining very close to her family in St. Louis.
Passionate and fearless, Karlie has also become a full-fledged entrepreneur: she shares her stories and others’ on her YouTube channel Klossy. She collaborated with Warby Parker to benefit Edible Schoolyard NYC. She supports young women learning to code, all while continuing her long-standing partnership with Momofuku Milk Bar to benefit Feed and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. As a model, a businesswoman, a young philanthropist and a force on social media, she doesn’t just connect with her generation—she leads it, inspiring young women around the world to become the women they want to be, just as she has done so beautifully.

Hunt faces calls for bigger public sector pay rises after surprise budget surplus | Budget deficit
In the wake of the UK’s surprise budget surplus, the government is facing increasing pressure to give public sector workers a much-needed pay rise.
The UK’s Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) revealed a £14.9 billion budget surplus in January, the first such surplus since 2002. While the news was welcomed by many, it has also sparked calls for public sector workers to be given a much-needed pay rise.
Public sector workers have seen their wages stagnate for the past decade, with many earning less in real terms than they did in 2010. This has led to a growing discontent among public sector workers, who argue that they are not being adequately rewarded for their work.
The government has so far resisted calls for a pay rise, citing the need to keep public spending under control. However, with the budget surplus, many argue that the government now has the resources to give public sector workers a much-needed pay rise.
The Labour Party has already pledged to give public sector workers a 5% pay rise if it wins the next election, while the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has called for a 10% pay rise for all public sector workers.
The government is now facing increased pressure to act, with many arguing that the budget surplus should be used to reward public sector workers for their hard work.
It remains to be seen whether the government will respond to these calls, but it is clear that public sector workers are becoming increasingly vocal in their demands for a pay rise. With a budget surplus now in the bank, the government has the resources to give public sector workers the pay rise they deserve.

This course has the ambition to build a bridge between a century of science and 21st-century managers. A bridge between how our brain works and how to use that knowledge to improve our communication and leadership abilities.
To understand how and why Leadership works, we first need to understand what triggers us. We’ll be diving deep into our subconscious motivational processes. We’ll have a look at our brain, call it our ‘hardware’ and the subconscious programs running in it, that’s basically our software.
So expect tools, concrete, and simple tools that you will be able to use right away with your team and colleagues. In the end, the aim of this course is to open the way for a new understanding of motivation and communication, towards a new, highly effective and sustainable model for leadership in this 21st century.
But most of all, by the end of this course, my aim is that you, as a manager, as a leader, will have understood what a crucial role you play in your team and in its success. And that you will be able to leverage that knowledge and guide your team to a new level of collaboration and engagement.
I will provide a framework based on the latest insights in cognitive psychology and related fields. Within this framework, I will present your studies, research, and experiments on human behavior and I will show you how they apply to leadership and team management.
Managers in charge of a team
Managers looking for tools and insights to manage their team
Professionals who want to improve their people skills
Professionals who want to learn more about human behavior

Vin Diesel confirms Cardi B will be in Fast and Furious 10
Grammy-winning artist Cardi B will be onboard for the next installment of Fast and Furious. This news was confirmed by Vin Diesel who plays Dom in the franchise.
The pop star will reprise the role of Leysa, who has a connection to Dom, which will be revealed in F10.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Vin Diesel said during the F9 premiere, “We are very much excited to evolve her character and to expand it to the finale,” and added, “She made it just in time. She came in Fast 9 just in time.”
Cardi B had hinted at potential F10 role after she was reached out for F9. “Well, my management said Vin Diesel reached out and was talking about a role that on the next Fast & Furious would become a bigger role, and I’m like, ‘Ahhhh, why not?” she said.
Cardi further added, “I was a little over doing short appearances in films, and I’m like, ‘It’s frickin’ Fast & Furious,’ so I was like, ‘Get me there. Put me on a plan.
Speaking about her character, she said, “Just that b—-. I think she’s conceited, that she’s very confident,” the hip-hop star said. “There’s a difference between conceited and confident, but I think she’s really both, and I guess she’s very competitive.”
On the professional front, Cardi B released her last album, ‘Invasion of Privacy’, in 2018. Last year, she dropped the anthem ‘WAP’, in 2020, featuring Megan Thee Stallion. This year, she released her solo single ‘UP’. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4241 | {"url": "https://top-fighters.com/archives/1157", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "top-fighters.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:17:52Z", "digest": "sha1:5S37WTDVUZF4BFUHRCUWMRT73QGOG3IV"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1454, 1454.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1454, 3287.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1454, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1454, 84.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1454, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1454, 277.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1454, 0.39823009]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1454, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1454, 0.03146853]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1454, 0.01748252]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1454, 0.02097902]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1454, 0.05014749]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1454, 0.21533923]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1454, 0.55769231]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1454, 4.4]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1454, 4.70589814]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1454, 260.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 59, 0.0], [59, 221, 1.0], [221, 326, 1.0], [326, 556, 1.0], [556, 811, 1.0], [811, 981, 1.0], [981, 1236, 1.0], [1236, 1454, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 59, 0.0], [59, 221, 0.0], [221, 326, 0.0], [326, 556, 0.0], [556, 811, 0.0], [811, 981, 0.0], [981, 1236, 0.0], [1236, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 59, 12.0], [59, 221, 28.0], [221, 326, 21.0], [326, 556, 43.0], [556, 811, 48.0], [811, 981, 32.0], [981, 1236, 40.0], [1236, 1454, 36.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 59, 0.03448276], [59, 221, 0.0], [221, 326, 0.01980198], [326, 556, 0.00896861], [556, 811, 0.0122449], [811, 981, 0.0], [981, 1236, 0.0], [1236, 1454, 0.03846154]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 59, 0.0], [59, 221, 0.0], [221, 326, 0.0], [326, 556, 0.0], [556, 811, 0.0], [811, 981, 0.0], [981, 1236, 0.0], [1236, 1454, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 59, 0.10169492], [59, 221, 0.05555556], [221, 326, 0.03809524], [326, 556, 0.04347826], [556, 811, 0.04313725], [811, 981, 0.05294118], [981, 1236, 0.02352941], [1236, 1454, 0.06880734]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1454, 0.96293789]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1454, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1454, 0.99824136]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1454, -61.69698438]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1454, 61.13796874]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1454, -129.28378276]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1454, 16.0]]} |
Adma Biologics Inc (NASDAQ:ADMA) Stock Gains After Earnings: How to Trade Now?
Posted By Cody Martinez on August 12, 2021
One of the stocks that could be on the radars of many investors today is the Adma Biologics Inc (NASDAQ:ADMA) stock. Yesterday, the company announced its financial results for the second fiscal quarter on Wednesday and since then the stock has been in focus.
It has made an upward move in the premarket trading period and already gone up by as much as 4%. Although it remains to be seen if the stock can add to its gains through the rest of the day, it might be the right time for investors to take a closer look at Adma’s financial results.
However, it is interesting to note that the company actually reported a loss of as much as $18.9 million and despite that the investors seem undeterred about the Adma stock. Adma, which is based out of Ramsey in New Jersey, also pointed out that it suffered a loss of 15 cents a share. The reason why the stock rallied despite the loss is that the company actually met the expectations of Wall Street analysts. The average projections with regards to the loss per share from three analysts stood at 15 cents a share. Hence, the rally in the stock is perhaps not a surprise.

Under Obama, Millennials Move Into the Republican Fold
Michael Barone | Jul 28, 2011
Legalized Climate Grifting Paul Driessen
Most presidents affect the standing of their political parties. Ronald Reagan advanced his party's standing among young voters. So did Bill Clinton.
In his first term, George W. Bush helped Republicans equal Democrats in party identification in the 2004 exit poll -- the first time that happened since polling began.
But in his second term, Bush proved toxic to the Republican label. The Pew Research Center showed Democrats with a 51 percent to 39 percent party identification edge over Republicans in its 2008 polls.
Now Pew Research has come out with figures for 2011. They're not good news for Barack Obama and the Democrats.
The Democratic Party identification edge has been reduced to 47 percent to 43 percent. That's a 4 point drop for Democrats and a 4 point rise for Republicans since 2008.
The Pew analysts note, as if they were analyzing a growth stock, that the Republicans' numbers haven't improved since 2010. But the 2010 numbers yielded a 52 percent to 45 percent Republican lead in the popular vote for the House.
If -- and it's always a big if -- Republicans can maintain that standing in party identification, they should be in fine shape in November 2012, even with increased presidential year turnout.
It's interesting to see which groups have moved most in party identification.
As the Pew analysts note, there has been little change among blacks, who are overwhelmingly Democratic. Hispanics come in at 64 percent to 22 percent Democratic, somewhat better for the president's party than last year, when they voted 60 percent to 38 percent Democratic in House elections.
But there has been big movement among whites. In 2008, they were 51 percent to 40 percent Republican. In the first half of 2011, they were 56 percent to 35 percent Republican -- more Republican than Southern whites were three years ago.
The most noteworthy movement among whites has been among voters under 30, the so-called Millennial generation. Millennials voted 66 percent to 32 percent for Barack Obama in 2008 and identified as Democrats rather than Republicans by a 60 percent to 32 percent margin.
But white Millennials have been moving away from the Democrats. The Democratic edge in party identification among white Millennials dropped from 7 points in 2008 to 3 points in 2009 to a 1 point Republican edge in 2010 and an 11 point Republican lead in 2011.
There have been shifts of similar magnitude among whites who are low-income, who have no more than a high school education and who live in the Midwest.
It's not hard to come up with plausible reasons for these changes. Obama campaigned as the champion of "hope and change" in 2008 and assured crowds of young people, "We are the change we are seeking."
But the change they have seen is anything but hopeful. Youth unemployment rates have been at historic highs. Young people have seen their college degrees produce little in the way of job offers.
They are choosing more often to keep living with their parents. From the Obama Democrats they have gotten only a promise that "children" up to age 26 can stay on Mommy and Daddy's health insurance plans.
In the wake of the 2008 election, I argued that there was a tension between the way Millennials lived their lives -- creating their own iPod playlists, designing their own Facebook pages -- and the one-size-fits-all, industrial-era welfare state policies of the Obama Democrats.
Instead of allowing Millennials space in which they can choose their own futures, the Obama Democrats' policies have produced a low-growth economy in which their alternatives are limited and they are forced to make do with what they can scrounge.
There is little evidence that the Millennials believe their plight can be relieved and opportunities opened up by slapping higher taxes on Bill Gates and Steve Jobs or by restricting deductions for corporate jets, as Barack Obama urged in his Monday night speech calling for tax increases (although Senate Democrats gave up on them) in debt-ceiling legislation.
The intended purpose of legislation like the stimulus package and Obamacare was to improve the situations of those least able to take care of themselves -- the young, the less educated, the low-skilled. But it is just such groups that, the Pew Research Center numbers show, have been moving away from the president's party. An instructive achievement, no?

As partner organisation, ETPOA is pleased to invite you to the EU-Africa Business Forum events, which will be hosted by the European Commission, the African Union Commission and the Portuguese Presidency of the European Council, and co-organised with the support of the Africa EU Energy Partnership Secretariat and the Africa Europe Foundation. The theme of the events is the green energy transition in Africa.
On Friday 16th of April
Join us as a participant for a high-level discussion on “Accelerating the EU-Africa partnership for green energy transition in Africa”.
The event will feature keynote addresses from:
Amani Abou-Zeid, African Union Commission's Commissioner for Infrastructure and Energy;
Augusto Santos Silva, Portugal's Minister of Foreign Affairs;
Frans Timmermans, European Commission's Executive Vice-President.
It will be followed by a roundtable moderated by Kandeh Yumkella, co-chair of the Africa Europe Foundation Strategy Group on Energy, and will bring together policy makers, development bankers and CEOs from the EU and Africa to discuss the green energy transition on the African continent.
On Tuesday 20 April and Wednesday 21 April
You will discover concrete projects and players that contribute to the green transition in our Digital Marketplace for Green Energy Transition – an online exhibition where you can visit the booths of our various e-exhibitors, as well as network with them and other participants.

Recommended Books For Teenage Boys While Camping
Camping can be a great time for the family to disconnect from screens and spend time talking, hiking, or reading. If you have teenage sons, 11-15 years old, the key thing for keeping them engaged with a book instead of Snapchat is picking the right book. Here are several that my teen sons enjoyed enough to put down their phones.
This is a series of seven fantasy novels by C. S. Lewis. You might have read it as a kid, since it has sold over 100 million copies in 47 languages. Set in the fictional realm of Narnia, a fantasy world of magic, mythical beasts, and talking animals, the series narrates the adventures of various children who play central roles in the unfolding history of that world. Except in The Horse and His Boy, the protagonists are all children from the real world, magically transported to Narnia, where they are called upon by the lion Aslan to protect Narnia from evil and restore the throne to its rightful line. The books span the entire history of Narnia, from its creation in The Magician’s Nephew to its eventual destruction in The Last Battle.
The story is narrated by Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old girl with thyroid cancer that has affected her lungs. Hazel is forced by her parents to attend a support group where she subsequently meets and falls in love with 17-year-old Augustus Waters, an ex-basketball player and amputee. Entertainment Weekly calls this story, “The greatest romance story of this decade.” A feature film adaptation of the novel was released in 2014.
After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus’s favor. This set is the first three paperbacks in the exciting, hilarious, and poignant series about Apollo, an arrogant god turned hapless human who must restore five ancient Oracles and battle a triumvirate of evil Roman emperors in order to regain his place in Mount Olympus.
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard
Magnus Chase, a once-homeless teen, is on a death-defying quest across the Norse realms, literally. As a resident of the Hotel Valhalla, this son of the god Frey is now one of Odin’s chosen warriors. Magnus and his friends, Hearthstone the elf, Blitzen the dwarf, Samirah the Valkyrie, and other heroic characters must use all their wits and special talents in order to defeat fearsome giants, lethal creatures, and meddlesome gods in order stave off Ragnarok. (3 book paperback boxed set).
My son has read the series three times. Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school…again. No matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he’s not even sure he believes himself. Until the Minotaur chases him to summer camp. This is a boxed set with all five of the books in this riveting series, and includes The Lightning Thief (Book 1), The Sea of Monsters, The Titan’s Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth, and The Last Olympian. Whether it is for readers who are experiencing Percy’s thrilling adventures with Greek gods and monsters for the first time, or for fans who want to devour the saga again, this gift will be prized by young and old. (5 book paperback boxed set)
It is 1939 in Nazi Germany, and the country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier – and will become busier still. By her brother’s graveside, Liesel’s life is changed forever when she picks up a single object, abandoned in the snow. It is The Gravedigger’s Handbook, and this is her first act of book thievery. So begins Liesel’s love affair with books and words, and soon she is stealing from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor’s wife’s library, wherever there are books to be found. But these are dangerous times, and when Liesel’s foster family hides a Jew in their basement, nothing will ever be the same again.
Happy reading! Travel smart. Live better.

Bluff Point – Groton
Bluff Point State Park And Coastal Reserve
Depot Road, Groton, CT
Trailhead: 41°20’8.76″N, 72° 2’0.90″W
Last Time Hiked: April 14, 2018
Fairly easy with some elevation.
Bluff Point State Park once made the CNN list of the 50 states natural wonders. Surprisingly enough, even though it has been on the to do list for quite a while, it took me a few years to finally venture down here to check it out. Groton is a long drive to most Rhode Islanders. Pack a lunch, make a daytrip out of it, get out of Rhode Island once in a while! This place is worth the drive. The park offers well defined trails and signage where needed. The trails are used by walkers, hikers, joggers, bicyclists, and horseback riders. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed. Starting just after sunrise from the seemingly large and nearly empty parking lot at the end of Depot Road we started following the wide gravel road trail just beyond the informational signs. The trail soon splits about one tenth of a mile into the park. Stay to the right here and continue along the main trail that follows the Poquonnock River. You then follow this trail for 1.3 miles until you reach Bushy Point Beach ignoring spur trails both narrow and wide. Along the way there are several spots that overlook the river and features in the distance. Across the river is the bustling Groton-New London Airport. There are views of the peninsulas and points that jut out into the river as well as the lighthouses further in the distance. The Avery Point Lighthouse at the University of Connecticut Avery Point campus is visible as well as the haunted New London Ledge Light. The trail also winds gently up and down small hills flanked by towering trees and passes some areas of marsh and wetlands. There are an abundance of birds here as well. Great blue herons, egrets, cormorants, hawks, robins, cardinals, and woodpeckers were all spotted on this hike. When we reached the beach we explored it for a few minutes. The beach itself extends westward for nearly a mile, but we only ventured in the area around the entrance. The beach is closed in areas during nesting season of least terns and piping plovers. Dogs and horses are not allowed on the beach between April and August. Back to the main trail we climbed up the small hill of the bluff. There are several spur trails to the edge of the bluff and the rocky beach below. The rocky shoreline makes for a good photograph and was also being used by a couple fishermen. Looking to the south you can see Fishers Island from here. Back on the main trail, it starts to wind to the east and then to the north passing Sunset Rock on the left before winding to a cellar hole at a trail intersection. The spot is well marked with a sign that explains that this was once the Winthrop Homestead, the former Connecticut Governor. After lingering at the cellar hole for a bit we decided to follow the less traveled trail to Mumford Cove. There is a sign here indicating which trail to follow. This trail winds downhill through an area of scattered boulders, tall trees, and a seasonal brook before coming to the cove. There are a couple spots along the trail to take a peek at the cove and rest your legs if you so choose. Continuing, now heading north, the trail becomes more of a grass road. There is a large wooded hill to the left and areas of thickets and shrubbery to the right. The trail soon ends at a gravel road that runs from Haley Farm to the parking area where this hike started. Turning left here, follow the gravel road to the large parking area where the car is park. The lot was nearly full when finished the hike. Bluff Point is a very popular recreation spot.

Google sued by transgender engineer

Tim Chevalier is suing the tech giant over his termination by what he claimed was caused by his defense against discrimination occurring in the workplace.
He alleged that his termination was caused by his defense for women, people of color, and co-workers who were members of the LGBT community during discussions on the company’s message board.
The lawsuit brought about questions regarding Google’s workplace culture, particularly its drive for diversity.
An ex-employee is suing the tech giant over his termination by what he claimed was caused by his defense against discrimination occurring in the workplace.
According to transgender news posted by Newsweek on February 22, Tim Chevalier said that he was fired from his job as a Google engineer because he stood up against bigotry in the workplace that included gender discrimination, racism, and white supremacy.
Chevalier, who identified as disabled and transgender, filed the suit at the San Francisco Superior Court on February 21, Wednesday.
Working as a reliability engineer at Google, his employment was terminated by the company last November, 2017. He alleged that his termination was caused by his defense for women, people of color, and co-workers who were members of the LGBT community during discussions on the company’s message board.
He claimed he was fired so that the company could avoid dealing with discrimination and harassment occurring in the workplace.
One particular incident took place in a discussion regarding hiring people of color. In May 2016, an employee asked whether the company hired fewer Latino and African American workers and whether that would mean they were not as good. The inquiry met responses on the company’s message board, implying that in order for Google to hire more people from the minorities, it has to lower its standards in hiring.
“In a culture where it’s common to respond to diversity initiatives with ‘we can’t lower the bar,’ implying a baseline assumption that women, non-binary people, and men of color are incompetent, it’s equally important that we don’t do the reverse: that we don’t insist on white male competence even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary,” he wrote.
Diversity in Google
This new development brought about questions regarding Google’s workplace culture, particularly its drive for diversity. This was not the first time the company was sued by an employee espousing a specific set of beliefs.
Last year, engineer James Damore was let go because of his comments regarding women. He wrote in a memo that detailed how women were biologically different from men, which led him to believe that Google’s practice of hiring women, a practice aimed at bolstering diversity, were misguided.

Ideas From the Academy
In the Face of Tragedy
How are we to approach the crisis of self-immolations in Tibet?
By Janet Gyatso
The way I want to talk about the current crisis of self-immolations by Tibetans may be risky for a scholar in academia. This is not merely because it critiques how my field has tended to address the topic. More basically, it departs from the usual mode of scholarly writing altogether.
I composed the following reflections without an initial plan or even an idea of what I would say. Nor was I sure of their full implications upon completion. And yet, in the particular case at hand, I think the fact that I wrote out of an immediate and even instinctive sort of intuition made an important realization possible. Or perhaps more accurately, what made it possible was that I was obeying an imperative that I had discerned—a demand on myself—to try and say something about my intuition, even if it didn’t stand as an entirely consistent scholarly principle.
Let me note right away that I myself have engaged in the very practice that I feel compelled to call into question today. A previous essay that I wrote on the same subject about two years ago was, I now think, off-base. In some sense it violated a really important human sensibility, even though I did try to acknowledge that sensibility at the end. In fact, when I was asked by Carole McGranahan to contribute to a “Hot Spot” forum on the self-immolations in Tibet in the journal Cultural Anthropology in late 2011, soon after the recent rash had really come to our attention as an urgent crisis, I felt that I had to take it on, I had to talk about it publically. I should not, could not, dodge the request just because it was too difficult or too controversial, which I did think it was. There was a moral imperative behind the essay that I produced, even though I still think that it failed to stay loyal to the heart of the matter.
In that essay, I argued that in self-immolating, monks both stood for and instantiated the power of Buddhism (and religion), a power that dared to present itself as on a par with the Chinese state and the might of its military. By virtue of monks’ and nuns’ power to live ascetically, to overcome physical discomfort, and develop, in some cases, great yogic power, they posed a formidable challenge to the presence and the legitimacy of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in Tibet. They displayed an alternate and compelling site, I argued, of human potential and flourishing—Buddhism, religion, yoga. By virtue of the power they attained from their religious practice they could even undergo a horrifically painful, self-inflicted death. And they displayed that power for all to see. It’s a logic that I think actually does have some truth to it, as far as the world of symbols and meanings goes, on the Tibetan plateau. I even had the satisfaction of a few people writing to me to say that they thought my comments were helpful and on the money—indeed, the kind of satisfaction that all of us hope for in writing and publishing in the academic world.
But it soon emerged that it wasn’t just clerics who were burning themselves dead. That’s what really turned my mind in a different direction. A mother in her 30s with four children. A young man of 17, the beloved son of a family. It wasn’t just disciplined clerics and it wasn’t necessarily about representing the power of religion. It was everyone doing it, with gruesome vividness—and with tragic, unbearably sorrowful outcomes. My logic did not quite capture the phenomenon entirely—or even may have ignored something far more basic in what was happening in Tibet, and how scholars might best understand it. I also think it was a mistake to analogize, as I did, the self-immolations with the old tradition studied by Toni Huber in which great yogis used to demonstrate their power in heat yoga by melting snow around them in the middle of the night—a performance for lay audiences. “Fire and ice,” I cleverly dubbed the ironic reversal of spectacles. But I really think now that sitting in the snow in the middle of an icy night to demonstrate yogic ability is on an entirely different order than self-immolation in the face of one’s community and the police. As self-immolation started to exceed, in my estimation, any such historical, cultural, ritual or tradition-based explanation or precedent, what has come most to the fore for me instead is simply the utter and deep human tragedy that it is, and that it brings about.
There is something about the nature of the current rash of self-immolation in the PRC, a special something that stands out among the many other kinds of difficult or complex or unsavory topics that we do indeed often study in religious studies. At the heart of this topic—its defining feature, if such a thing is a definition or a feature—is utter and abysmal and infinite and incomprehensible human suffering and tragedy. And that particular kind of incomprehensible topic—people publically and painfully putting themselves to death—is what I am uncomfortable trying to analyze or explain. I am feeling most of all that we just have to bow our heads in the face of it.
We most certainly have to document this tragedy with all the detail at our disposal. The world has to know about what is going on and to get some handle on the unfortunate forces that are bringing it about. It is up to reporters, anthropologists, and scholars of religion to record, analyze, and publish this data: the demography, the social forces surrounding the phenomenon, the dates and locations where it takes place (although I deplore the publication of close-up photos of self-immolating individuals or their charred remains). But what I’m getting at now, rather than documentation, is the question of what explains the phenomenon correctly, and, most of all, whether it is ultimately subject to explanation at all. While some explanation is called for—we need to know why this is happening, and, indeed, something about the history—I want still to preserve a space, a very prominent and big space, in which I, we, honor the ultimately impenetrable, unexplainable, and simply inconceivable tragedy that it most basically is. The tragedy that it is for the individuals involved and their families. The tragedy that it is for the Tibetan people as a whole.
I think that we’re doing violence to such a tragedy if we try to explain it with evidence and logic to the satisfaction of commonly held academic standards. In the course of offering such an explanation or analysis, I hit a wall and my mind just stops. And the floor drops away. I’m trying to find a way to honor that moment in my scholarship or even just recognize that my scholarship really can’t manage it, that it has to hit a wall, or fall through the floor, to mix metaphors.
Some of this has to do, I think, with friendship, or, perhaps more basically, humanness—our humanness as scholars, or despite being scholars. I say humanness rather than friendship because it’s not the case that we are necessarily friends with the actors in question. I don’t personally know anyone who has self-immolated, nor any of their family or colleagues, although through the years of my work with Tibetan scholars, teachers, and friends, I do feel a deep connection with the Tibetan community as a whole. I can even say with Lobsang Sangay, the current head of the Tibetan government-in-exile, that I share the self-immolators’ aspirations for freedom and the right to protest, even while not applauding their method or act. But I think about, for example, how I would react if a personal friend of mine committed suicide. How inappropriate—just wrong—unthinkable, really—would it be for me to offer an analysis of why. Or especially—and this is a big part of what I’m saying—to offer analysis or explanation in terms of my friend’s religious background, or cultural background, or something he had read in a book, or some precedent that had been set and was the grounds for his decision.
The self-immolation by Buddhist monks in Tibet cannot fundamentally be accounted for in terms of Buddhist history or scripture or ideology. In fact I don’t think that it is necessarily a religious act or phenomenon at all. Or even if it does have something to do with religion, I would agree here especially with what scholars like Talal Asad have argued about religion not being primarily about meaning-making or belief. I do not think that the self-immolators are making meaning by what they do or that it has much to do with what they believe about death or merit or reincarnation or dharma or whatever point of Buddhist doctrine. More fundamentally, these are desperate human tragedies having most of all to do with local suffering and global circumstances of human degradation.
I expect that all the cases of self-immolation in the last half-century—from the self-immolations by Buddhist monks in Vietnam and Americans in the US to protest the Vietnam war, to Czech protests of the Soviet-led invasion of 1968, to repeated instances in India in the early years of the 21st century, and, more recently, the immolation cases in the Middle East and North Africa that set off the Arab Spring—all these are “in the air” globally: a new, specifically modern kind of political scream. And yet, while we know what their political motivations and messages might be—and that’s certainly true for the Tibetan cases—those messages in all the cases I just cited don’t suffice to account for the entire phenomenon of a human being putting an end to him- or herself in such a horrible and public way. There is an excess that goes beyond meaning and that I want, as a scholar, to find some way to acknowledge and to avoid violating with explanation. Instead, I want to honor the unspeakability of this sorrow. It is what I would do when grieving for a friend.
This relates to something that came up earlier in my career and touches on an issue that is frequently discussed in religious studies and anthropology. At some point in the process leading up to tenure, I had a discussion with one of my senior colleagues about the book project that I was working on, my “tenure book.” The project was a translation and study of what is called “secret autobiography” in Tibetan literature, a text that documents esoteric meditative experiences and is often said to be inappropriate reading for anyone but initiated practitioners of the tradition it represents. One of the challenges that this involved for me was that the narrative was often elliptical and very hard to construe. To translate the work, I had to consult widely, including with the greatest living authorities on the text, just to understand what it was saying. That finally meant traveling to Kathmandu, Nepal, to consult with Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, said to be the reincarnation of the author of the very work I was translating. A stern protector of the esoteric literature of Tibetan Buddhism, Dilgo Khyentse was known to have chastised another Western scholar who came to him to discuss his own translation of, indeed, a very esoteric text, which Dilgo Khyentse insisted must not be published under any circumstances. I was worried that he was going to say the same thing to me. I told my senior colleague back at school that if Rinpoche had said that—which he didn’t, but if he had—I would have been in quite a pickle, having just used up a year’s National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship on the project. And, indeed, I was coming up for tenure, which required a book! Yet I would not have been able to violate Rinpoche’s command. My senior colleague looked at me in surprise and asked, “Why?” He seemed to feel that such compunctions had no place in the kind of work that we do in the modern academy. I don’t remember what I said in response. I think it was some version of “I can’t say why, but I just know that I couldn’t have violated his wishes.” I knew it at the time. I don’t know what I would have done, but I would not have been able to continue with the book.
What I think now is that fundamentally there was a human relationship at stake, that consulting with Rinpoche created a relationship that I could not violate, grateful as I was for his kind help to me. I was also very mindful of the fact that, in a very important sense, the text, the secret autobiography, belonged to him far more than to me.
My relationship with Rinpoche, like my relationship to the self-immolators, was not friendship as such, but both cases for me have to do with holding our humanness as scholars as a high priority. I regard it as a high human value to honor my commitments—explicit or not—with someone with whom I’ve entered a relationship. And as a scholar, I regard it as a high human value that when struck by the tragedy of another human being, I don’t consign that feeling to a corner and proceed with analyzing it as usual.
I’m not taking issue with what Robert Orsi argues in his book Between Heaven and Earth when he says that religious studies has a “commitment to examining the variety of human experience and to making contact across boundaries—cultural, psychological, spiritual, existential.” I agree with that, although, as I have already suggested, I’m not entirely sure that what we’re looking at in the Tibetan self-immolations is a religious phenomenon (beyond the sociological point that it is primarily monks who have engaged in it.) And yet the mere fact that we felt compelled to have a panel on this topic at American Academy of Religion means that Orsi’s imperative might still be relevant to us as scholars of religion, scholars who are used to accounting for the unfamiliar and the wide variety of human experience.
But to the extent that this commitment means for Orsi that religious studies “exists in the suspension of the ethical, and it steadfastly refuses either to deny or to redeem the other,” what he seems to be saying does give me some pause. Religious studies may not be a moralizing discipline, as Orsi maintains in the same passage, but I believe it should be a moral discipline. And this does not only entail a commitment to rigorous study even, as Orsi says, of religious practices “so alien to us” that they seem incomprehensible or unapproachable. The morality of religious studies should include recognizing and respecting our own moral position in the world and our primary commitments to our own human dignity. That in turn entails respecting the dignity—and I would add, privacy—of the people that we study. Once we are committed not to “otherize” the participants in the religions that we study, our shared humanity produces sympathy with our subjects, overflowing sympathy. That forces us to honor precisely the self-immolations’ incomprehensibility and unapproachability, and to honor our human reactions even more than our scholarly projects.

We can’t keep this at arms length filtering it through the lens of academic objectivity. There is no way to make this clean sanitise it or make it palatable to our western privileged digestion. It is raw flesh here we are talking about a sore that is constantly seeping in fact a very old sore over 60 years old now. Tibetans are telling us in the only way they can that they have had enough.
Thankyou Janet for lifting the bandage.
I can’t understand it anyway but with overwhelming heartfelt sadness for the enormous loss of power and and cruelty that these people have lived through to bring them to this point of making the only statement they have any power to make. I certainly don’t condone self immolation as I do not condone suicide bombing but….. We are not living their lives. We can’t understand this through academic process. This is a time to reflect internally and ‘honor’ our collective sorrow and pain in response to their screams. As much as we disconnect from from this we have to know that their last breath and scream is also ours.

I have provided medical care for people who have attempted to self immolate but have failed, leaving themselves with extensive deep burns that required multiple surgeries, wound and psychological care. Families and friends are initially horrified but become numb and withdraw from the subsequent life long suffering that occurs. Delusions and/or psychosis were often present after and often before the act in these survivors of attempted self immolation. It very well may be that tremendous group or national stress, as in the case of Tibet, triggers the act of self immolation after prolonged stress in susceptible people, not shown by the majority of affected people. Unfortunately, unmitigated bullies, such as China, become even more forceful in their actions while these horrifying acts of self destruction cause copycat episodes and paralyze their compatriots. World allies must gather to restrict trade with China as is presently being considered with Russia in the Ukraine incursion. We must avoid wallowing in the empathy of desperate people, and, instead, show true compassion by developing an international strategy and actions that impede further encroachment into both Tibet and the Ukraine. It will not stop there, as the people of Inner Mongolia, Chechnya, and many others will testify.

Thank you Janet Gyatso for this self-reflection and thank you for avoiding to justify or to explain the self-immolations as being religious – as it has been done recently in strange trial by James A. Benn in »Burning for Buddha« who mixed Chinese cultural issues with Tibetans’ culture; but also by other scholars.
Tibetans said to me that those self-immolations are political. According to them, China has total control, but here by self-immolating, they can escape that total control of the PRC and decide freely about their own body while demonstrating a clear sign, that Chinese propaganda of “happy Tibetans” is plain wrong. A Tibetan said that the following would be mainly the ideas of Tibetans in Tibet: “when we protest, the Chinese will put us in prison and torture us … they will release us from prison just prior before we die from the torture, so that we die at home … in such a situation, it is better to protest and to burn the body ourselves.”
A Tibetan lama, who knows the West quite well and is regularly in Tibet, said that Tibetans in Tibet are a bit expecting too much from the West by thinking that the self-immolations would work as a wake up call for Westerners.
It should also be noted that this cry for freedom has never ever damaged physically any other person, not even a car was destroyed and that about 90% of those protesters have mainly asked – without any hate – that China gives them freedom and allows the return of the Dalai Lama.
I think all in all there are different layers and motives but the mere justification or explanation of the self-immolations as being in nature religious is quite mistaken and one-sided.

Repression in Tibet “severe” in 2013: US Human Rights Report
Phayul February 28, 2014
“The US State Department on Thursday released its annual ‘Country Reports on Human Rights Practices’ for the year 2013 which, as mandated by the congress in 2002, carried a separate section on Tibet.
The US government, like many other nations including India, accepts Tibet being a part of China but supports dialogue between Beijing and the representatives of the Dalai Lama. The US government refers to Tibet as “Tibetan areas” in its latest report on human rights.
One of the areas of focus in this report is China’s handling of family members, friends, relatives and associates of those who have resorted to self immolation as a means of protest. The report says nearly 90 Tibetans have been convicted, including one sentenced to death, with alleged links to self immolation protests in Qinghai and Gansu provinces alone.
The report claims that Tibetans have suffered widespread crackdown imposed by Chinese policies that accelerated during Xi Jinping’s first year as the President of China. It also decried the inaccessibility of Tibetan areas under Chinese rule saying American diplomats were denied access “multiple” times, including to Tibetan areas outside the Tibet Autonomous Region where permission was not officially required. The report also said officials of the Tibet Autonomous Region stopped processing permits for foreign tourists to the region from February 25 for a month-long period around “sensitive” anniversaries such as the March 10 Tibetan national uprising day.
The Washington based Tibet advocacy group International Campaign for Tibet says the report sheds a needed light on “a dark situation.” Todd Stein, Director of Government Relations at the International Campaign for Tibet, said, “The Department’s report shows the harsh reality in Tibet that Chinese authorities are so desperately trying, and failing, to cover up.”
it is important for one to distinguish between genuine human rights issues and synthetic issues and fanciful rumour-based PR misinformation.
Thank you. I totally agree. One last point:
»The US government, like many other nations including India, accepts Tibet being a part of China but supports dialogue between Beijing and the representatives of the Dalai Lama. The US government refers to Tibet as “Tibetan areas” in its latest report on human rights. «
Actual this is a problem because by this the US government, as well as Germany and other governments, violate the International Law accepting the illegal occupation of Tibet by China. The International Law experts of both, the US congress as well as the German Bundestag, came to the conclusion that Tibet was de facto an independent state that has been occupied against the international law. One of those experts being heard by a commission of the German Bundestag questions the approach of the international community to accept Tibet as a part of China: http://info-buddhism.com/Tibet_Status_Under_International_Law.html
Of course the Human Rights end for most of the democratic governments where the own business is undermined. At least, those governments – especaially the US – acknowledge the injustice and harm done to the Tibetans and strive to improve their situation. “Real Politik” they call this in Germany …
Karmapa Urges Tibetans to Stop Self-immolation:
“The 17th Karmapa Ugen Trinley Dorjee has urged the Tibetans inside Tibet not to set themselves ablaze in protest against China.
In an exclusive interview with the Voice Of Tibet based in Dharamsala, North India, the 17th Karmapa praised the courage and sacrifices of the Tibetans inside Tibet, but taking both religious and general perspective, he said that the Tibetans could look for some other ways to show their grievances.
Karmapa has also taken the note of the small population of Tibet, and the effort Tibetans need to put forth in preserving their culture and religion, while keeping the protection of environment into consideration.”

Dear Janet Gyatso:
I actually signed up for an account here at Tricycle, just to write this comment. I read your WHOLE comment, in the form above, very carefully. I am at a “public access” computer at a State College, and when I clicked for a new tab, the browser showed that a previous user had both visited Tricycle online earlier today, and also failed to re-start or clear the cookies cache. I, also, forgot to clear that as I normally do, before I logged on here…. So, there is a certain amount of serendipity at work here.
I am not angry or upset, really, but I do find the above piece both insulting and offensive. And mostly a bunch of psychobabble gobbledygook. A form of mental or intellectual masturbation. I’m sure that it feels very good to you, Janet, but I find it dry, and unsatisfying. And insulting and offensive.
Janet, when you babble: “I think that we’re doing violence to such a tragedy if we try to explain it with evidence and logic to the satisfaction of commonly held academic standards.”……I can only shake my head in dismay. What will you do with my comment here? Report to the police that I have Karmically “raped” you?….
Likewise, when you spout such ridiculous lines as : “I, we, honor the ultimately impenetrable, unexplainable, and simply inconceivable tragedy that it most basically is.”, – well, I believe that you’re wrong, as in *WRONG*, and I feel deeply insulted and offended. But, maybe I have an advantage. Right here in my hometown, a man self-immolated in protest against corrupt local and State gov’t a couple of years ago. Google: “Thomas Ball self-immolation, Keene, NH”, for all the details…. His story mirrors my own, and indeed I even personally know some of Mr. Ball’s victimizers.
So, as with Mr. Thomas Ball, and ALL the other self-immolators, not only the recent, Tibetan ones, I find the act saddening, yes, but it is hardly “impenetrable, unexplainable, and (simply) inconceivable.”….
Try reading page 449 of the “Big Book” of Alcoholics Anonymous. A bunch of drunks in the 1930’s had more common sense, wisdom, insight and understanding, than a *TENURED* professor….( Yes, I am assuming you attained your tenure already….)….
Your self-admitted inability to understand these acts arises almost purely from your unwillingness to ACCEPT THEIR REALITY as their own, and yours. If I must live in a world where the PRC can with impunity invade Tibet and engage in the genocide which it has done, then at least I can HONOR those who died in flames, by accepting their final, extreme act, and extending 2 simple words to EACH victim of it.
“Thank-you.”

This comment is so unnecessarily aggressive and cruel that it is inappropriate. I wish there was a way to report it as unconstructive and I do hope that there are moderators here who will consider taking it down.
Dominic Gomez says:
Tibet is to China as Vietnam was to the US. Also highlighted by monks setting themselves on fire, a consciousness-raising wave of anti-war sentiment led by youth contributed to the end of America’s involvement there. This may also have to happen in China.
It is difficult to come to terms with self immolation, an act that seems to alienate a lot of people and not generated commensurate publicity. Already this year, on 5 February, Phagmo Samdup, 27-year-old Ngagpa (tantric practitioner) set himself on fire in Tibet’s Tsekhok County. He succumbed to his burns a day later.
I find parallel examples in the former Czech republic, the most well known anti-Communist self-immolator was Jan Palach in 1969–but even in 2003, six Czech students burnt themselves. A year earlier than Palach, Siwiec initiated a similar protest in Poland, during a Communist festival on the 10th-Anniversary Stadium in Warsaw where at least 100,000 people could witness his horrific self-immolation. Students from other Communist Romania and the Baltic SSR’s, followed Siwiec’s and Palach’s example.

Stevens Office Building
The Stevens Office Building was completed in 1909, designed by the firm of Trost & Trost. The 3-story structure was considered the most important and expensive building of its time, although a number of additional Trost designed buildings were erected over the next 24 months within two blocks, that were considered much more “magnificent”. In 1916, the architectural firm of Gibson & Robertson performed a complete interior and exterior remodel of the building for the Texas Bank and Trust Co., and we believe most period photographs of the structure (including the one attached) are of that remodel (Ref: El Paso Herald, Saturday, November 18, 1916 Page: 16). The building stands today, vacant and deteriorating, the long-time home of the downtown Walgreens. For more information, please see https://www.henrytrost.org/buildings/stevens-office-building/
Old photographs, depicting the Gibson & Robertson remodel, are courtesy of the El Paso Public Library, accessed at the UNT Digital Archives. Modern photography was taken by Mark Stone in 2018, and the otherwise uncredited postcard is from the Trost Society’s Digital Archives at their Facebook page.

La Pitoune (Classique internationale de canots de la Mauricie edition)
BIÈRE DES CANOTIERS The Pitoune Pils offers an intense aroma of grain and hops, topped with a rich, thick cream. The palate is both fresh and crisp, and the bitterness comes through with each sip for a refreshing experience. The St-Maurice River was the last river used to transport logs in Quebec. It was cleaned during the mid-90’s, thus ending a century of river-based timber transport. Since then, residents of the Mauricie as well as tourists have been enjoying the magnificent river. This special edition was brewed for the 2014 Classique Internationale de Canots.

Did Anne Boleyn Have to Die?
Why did Anne Boleyn have to die?Was she ensnared by a conspiracy, the victim of her own loose tongue, or simply guilty as charged? Suzannah Lipscomb tries to unearth the real reason why Henry VIII sent his second wife, Anne Boleyn, to the block.
This article was first published in the April 2013 issue of BBC History Magazine
Monday 27th July 2015 Submitted by Emma McFarnon
On the morning of 19 May 1536, Anne Boleyn climbed the scaffold erected on Tower Green, within the walls of the Tower of London. She gave a speech praising the goodness and mercy of the king, and asked those gathered to pray for her. Then she removed her fine, ermine-trimmed gown, and knelt down – and the expensive French executioner that Henry VIII had ordered swung his sword and “divided her neck at a blow”.
Her death is so familiar to us that it is hard to imagine how shocking it would have been: the queen of England executed on charges of adultery, incest and conspiring the king’s death. And not just any queen: this was the woman for whom Henry VIII had abandoned his wife of nearly 24 years, waited seven long years to wed, and even revolutionised his country’s church. Yet just three years later her head was off – and the reason for her death remains one of the great mysteries of English history.
To this day, historians cannot agree why she had to die. Had Henry and Anne’s relationship gone into terminal decline, prompting Henry to invent the charges against his wife? Was Thomas Cromwell responsible for Anne’s demise? Or was she indeed guilty of the charges laid against her? Evidence is limited – but there is enough to appear to support several very different conclusions.
There are a number of undisputed facts relating to Anne’s fall. On Sunday 30 April 1536 Mark Smeaton, a musician from the queen’s household, was arrested; he was then interrogated at Cromwell’s house in Stepney. On the same evening the king postponed a trip with Anne to Calais, planned for 2 May.
The next day, 1 May, Smeaton was moved to the Tower. Henry attended the May Day jousts at Greenwich but left abruptly on horseback with a small group of intimates. These included Sir Henry Norris, a personal body servant and one of his closest friends, whom he questioned throughout the journey. At dawn the next day Norris was taken to the Tower. Anne and her brother George, Lord Rochford, were also arrested.
On 4 and 5 May, more courtiers from the king’s privy chamber – William Brereton, Richard Page, Francis Weston, Thomas Wyatt and Francis Bryan – were arrested. The latter was questioned and released, but the others were imprisoned in the Tower. On 10 May, a grand jury indicted all of the accused, apart from Page and Wyatt.
On 12 May, Smeaton, Brereton, Weston and Norris were tried and found guilty of adultery with the queen, and of conspiring the king’s death. On 15 May, Anne and Rochford were tried within the Tower by a court of 26 peers presided over by their uncle, the Duke of Norfolk. Both were found guilty of high treason. On 17 May Archbishop Thomas Cranmer declared the marriage of Henry and Anne null, and by 19 May, all six convicted had been executed. Later that day, Cranmer issued a dispensation allowing Henry and Jane Seymour to marry; they were betrothed on 20 May and married 10 days later.
What could explain this rapid and surprising turn of events? The first theory, argued by Boleyn biographer and scholar GW Bernard, is simply that Anne was guilty of the charges against her. Yet even he is equivocal, suggesting the Scottish legal verdict of ‘not proven’ – he concludes that, though the evidence is insufficient to prove definitively that Anne and those accused with her were guilty, neither does it prove their innocence.
Anne’s guilt was, naturally, the official line. Writing to the bishop of Winchester, Stephen Gardiner, Cromwell stated with certainty – before Anne’s trial – that “the queen’s incontinent living was so rank and common that the ladies of her privy chamber could not conceal it.”
The key piece of evidence was undoubtedly the confession by the first man accused, Smeaton, that he had had sexual intercourse with the queen three times. Though it was probably obtained under torture (the accounts vary), he never retracted his confession. Unlikely as it was to be true, it catapulted the investigation to a different, far more serious level. All subsequent evidence was tainted with a presumption of guilt. Henry VIII’s intimate questioning of Norris, and his promise of “pardon in case he would utter the truth”, must be understood in this light: whatever Norris said, or refused to say, it reinforced Henry’s conviction of his guilt.
Other evidence for Anne’s guilt is unclear – the trial documents do not survive. Her indictment, however, states that Anne “did falsely and traitoroysly procure by base conversations and kisses, touchings, gifts and other infamous incitations, divers of the king’s daily and familiar servants to be her adulterers and concubines, so that several… yielded to her vile provocations”. She even, it charges, “procured and incited her own natural brother… to violate her, alluring him with her tongue in the said George’s mouth, and the said George’s tongue in hers”. Yet, as another Boleyn biographer Eric Ives noted, three-quarters of the specific accusations of adulterous liaisons made in the indictment can be discredited, even 500 years later.
True wedded wife
Certainly, Anne maintained her innocence. During her imprisonment Sir William Kingston, constable of the Tower, reported Anne’s remarks to Cromwell. His first letter details Anne’s ardent declaration of innocence: “I am as clear from the company of man, as for sin… as I am clear from you, and the king’s true wedded wife.”
A few days later, Anne comforted herself that she would have justice: “She said if any man accuse me I can say but nay, and they can bring no witness.” Crucially, the night before her execution, she swore “on peril of her soul’s damnation”, before and after receiving the Eucharist, that she was innocent – a serious act in that religious age.
Anne was not alone in professing her innocence. As Sir Edward Baynton put it: “No man will confess any thing against her, but only Mark of any actual thing.” And even Eustace Chapuys, ambassador for the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Anne’s arch-enemy, would finally conclude that everyone besides Smeaton was “condemned upon presumption and certain indications, without valid proof or confession”.
Another set of historians have favoured the explanation that Anne was the victim of a conspiracy by Thomas Cromwell and a court faction involving the Seymours. This rests upon a view of Henry as a pliable king whose courtiers could “bounce” him into action and tip him “by a crisis” into rejecting Anne. But why should Anne and Cromwell, erstwhile allies of a reformist bent, fall out? Differences of opinion are thought to have arisen over the use of funds from the dissolution of the monasteries, as well as matters of foreign policy – seemingly slender motives for destroying a queen.
It has been suggested that Cromwell’s court faction intended to replace Anne with Jane Seymour. Chapuys mentioned Jane in a letter of 10 February 1536, reporting that Henry had sent her a gift of a purse full of sovereigns, accompanied by a letter. She did not open the letter, which – Ives speculated – contained a summons to the royal bed. Instead, she kissed it and returned it, asking the messenger to tell the king that “there was no treasure in this world that she valued as much as her honour,” and that if the king wanted to give her a present, she begged it might be at “such a time as God would be pleased to send her some advantageous marriage”.
Such a calculated reply is reminiscent of Anne during the days of her courtship with Henry. In response to Jane’s coyness, Henry’s love for her was said to have “marvellously increased”. Yet she was described as a lady whom the king “serves” – a telling word implying that he sought her as his ‘courtly love’ mistress. There is little evidence that, before Anne was accused of adultery, Henry had planned to make Jane his wife. Marriage to Jane was, surely, a symptom and a product of Anne’s downfall, not a cause.
The pivotal piece of evidence for a conspiracy is a remark made by Cromwell to Chapuys after Anne’s death. In a letter to Charles V, Chapuys wrote that Cromwell had told him “il se mist a fantasier et conspirer le dict affaire,” which has been translated as “he set himself to devise and conspire the said affair,” suggesting that Cromwell plotted against Anne.
Crucially, however, this phrase is often used out of context. The previous sentence states that “he himself [Cromwell] had been authorised and commissioned by the king to prosecute and bring to an end the mistress’s trial, to do which he had taken considerable trouble.” If we accept this account, it is impossible to dismiss Henry VIII from the picture – Cromwell claimed not to be acting alone.
It has been proposed, therefore, that Henry asked Cromwell to get rid of Anne. David Starkey suggested that “Anne’s proud and abrasive character soon became intolerable to her husband”. JJ Scarisbrick, author of the authoritative volume Henry VIII, agreed: “What had once been devastating infatuation turned into bloodthirsty loathing, for reasons we will never completely know.”
Lovers’ quarrels
Evidence for this view is taken from the writings of the ever-hopeful Chapuys. As a Catholic and a supporter of Catherine of Aragon, he referred to Anne as “the concubine” or “the she-devil”, and had made bitter assertions about the doomed state of Henry and Anne’s relationship even at the height of their happiness in late summer 1533. But Chapuys himself recognised that Henry and Anne had always been prone to “lovers’ quarrels”, and that the king’s character was very “changeable”.
True, Henry and Anne were direct with each other: they got angry, shouted and became jealous. But they were also frequently described as being “merry” together; it was an epithet still being applied to them during the autumn of 1535 – and one that was appended to their marriage more often than to any of Henry’s other unions. Bernard has described theirs as a “tumultuous relationship of sunshine and storms”.
Some have proposed that the miscarriage of a male foetus suffered by Anne in January 1536 led inexorably to her downfall. Did it cause Henry to believe that Anne would never be able to bear him an heir, and thus to consider the marriage doomed? Certainly, the king was reported to have shown “great disappointment and sorrow”. Chapuys wrote that Henry, during his visit to Anne’s chamber after the tragedy, said very little except: “I see that God will not give me male children.”
Henry then left Anne at Greenwich to convalesce while he went to Whitehall to mark the feast day of St Matthew. Chapuys, rather maliciously, interpreted this as showing that Henry had abandoned Anne, “whereas in former times he could hardly be one hour without her”. Clearly, the miscarriage was a great blow to both Henry and Anne – yet another four months were to pass before Anne’s death, so demonstrating a direct link between the events would be problematic.
Another story, reported third-hand by Chapuys, quotes Henry as telling an unidentified courtier that he had married Anne “seduced and constrained by sortilèges”. That last word translates as ‘sorcery, spells, charms’, and has given rise to the suggestion that Anne Boleyn dabbled in witchcraft. Though this is regularly cited as one of the charges of which she was found guilty, it is not mentioned in the indictment.
Ives, though, pointed out that the primary English meaning of sortilèges at this time was ‘divination’, a translation that changes the meaning of Henry’s comment. It could imply that he was induced to marry Anne by premarital prophecies that she would bear sons, or could refer simply to Henry’s earlier infatuation or ‘bewitchment’ by Anne.
The idea that Henry had been “seduced by witchcraft” has become attached to another theory, which holds that the real reason for Anne’s ruin was that the foetus miscarried in January 1536 was deformed. According to Tudor specialist Retha Warnicke, the delivery of a “shapeless mass of flesh” proved in Henry’s mind that Anne was both a witch and adulterously promiscuous. But this description comes from a Catholic propagandist, Nicholas Sander, writing 50 years later; there is no contemporary evidence to sustain this salacious theory.
Diplomatic coup
An event in April 1536 suggests that, just weeks before Anne was executed, Henry was still committed to his marriage. In the early months of 1536, Henry was increasing the pressure on Charles V to recognise Anne as his wife. On 18 April he invited Chapuys to the court. Events that day were very deliberately staged: the ambassador attended mass and, as Henry and Anne descended from the royal pew to the chapel, she stopped and bowed to Chapuys.
Etiquette dictated that he return the gesture – a significant diplomatic coup, because it implied recognition by the ambassador and, by extension, his emperor. It would, as Bernard has argued, have been extraordinarily capricious of Henry to seek to have Anne recognised as his wife if he already harboured intentions of ridding himself of her soon after.
So was it not guilt, nor a court coup, nor Henry’s hatred of Anne that led to her downfall but, rather, a terrible combination of malicious gossip and her own indiscretions?
A poetic account written in June 1536 by Lancelot de Carles, secretary to the French ambassador, relates that one of Anne’s ladies-in-waiting, Elizabeth Browne, was accused of loose living. She made light of her own guilt by stating that “it was little in her case in comparison with that of the queen”. These words reached Cromwell who, according to de Carles, reported them to Henry; the king blanched and, very reluctantly, ordered him to investigate.
This certainly aligns with Cromwell’s own retelling of the events. De Carles adds a crucial, though unsubstantiated, clause, Henry telling Cromwell that “if it turns out that your report, which I do not wish to believe, is untrue, you will receive pain of death in place of [the accused]”. So Cromwell may have had reason to find evidence of Anne’s guilt.
Given that Anne was accused of conspiring the king’s death (the only charge that actually constituted treason – consensual adultery was not covered by the treason law of 1352), it seems likely that the evidence used to demonstrate her guilt was a conversation she recalled – and William Kingston reported – with Norris.
Anne had asked Norris why he did not go through with his marriage. He had replied that “he wold tary a time,” leading her to taunt him with the fateful words “you loke for ded men’s showys; for yf owth cam to the King but good, you would loke to have me.” Norris’s flustered response – that “yf he should have any such thought, he wold hys hed war of” – provoked her to retort that “she could undo him if she would,” and “ther with thay felle yowt” (“there with they fell out”.)
It might seem that this overstepped the normal boundaries of ‘courtly love’ talk only a little. But the Treasons Act of 1534 held that even imagining the death of the king was treasonous, so Anne’s conversation with Norris was charged, reckless and, arguably, fatal – useful ammunition if Cromwell were looking for dirt. Was it, as Greg Walker (author of Writing Under Tyranny) has suggested, not what Anne did but what she said that made her appear guilty?
When it comes to Anne Boleyn’s fall, historians give their ‘best guess’ answers on the basis of the available evidence – which is too sparse to be conclusive. For my part, it is the final ‘cock-up theory’ that convinces me. I believe that Anne was innocent, but caught out by her careless words. Henry was convinced by the charges against her; it was a devastating blow from which he never recovered. For Anne, of course, the consequences were far more terrible.
1501 (or possibly 1507): The birth
Anne is born at Blickling, Norfolk, to Thomas Boleyn and his wife, Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas Howard, later second Duke of Norfolk). Historians debate whether Anne was born in 1501 or 1507; the former is more plausible
1513: The first post
Anne is appointed a maid-of-honour at the court of Margaret, archduchess of Austria; she later leaves to serve Mary, queen of France, wife of Louis XIII (and Henry VIII’s sister). After Louis’ death, Anne remains at the court of the new French queen, Claude, for seven years

Contractor Vs Carpenter: Who You Must Hire?
There are ample lot of available job roles, from homemaker to professional. Everyone has their duties and responsibilities. Sometimes specific job roles look similar but have certain differences that make each unique. Since most people don’t know the differences between contractor vs carpenter, they often try to confuse these two types of job roles. If you also have the same confusion, then you are not alone.
This blog will help you to understand the difference between a contractor and a carpenter. When you consider specific jobs, they will be flexible. At the same time, the payment will also be good.
On the other hand, some job roles are burning out and will not have a good pay. Hence not only the type of the requirements and responsibilities of the job will differ they will also have some other factors like the working time, expected payment, etc. Similarly, you will also have some differences between contractor and carpenters.
Suppose you are planning to construct or renovate the house, then you can call a person in a general job role or professional. You might know that there are well-qualified architects who will assist you in planning and constructing your house so that it will be appealing and turn out as required. On the other hand, some people will hire the mason while spending time making their own plans.
Although you can construct a house both ways, they will have a certain difference regarding labor cost and additional assistance. Hence the carpenter and contractor are also two such different jobs. This article will aim to provide adequate knowledge about these jobs, which will help you to differentiate them easily. Understanding certain jobs will also help you know who will perform a task well.
Who is a Contractor?
A contractor can be either a person or a firm who will take the responsibility of constructing a house or a building within a pre-assigned duration. So, when you call a contractor to construct the house, they will inspect the land, the plan and several other factors, then provide an estimated period to complete the project. The main contractor will hire some subcontractors and start the project. This job role will have both benefits and risks.
Who is a Carpenter?
Before discussing the comparison between contractor vs carpenter, let’s also briefly understand who a carpenter is. A carpenter is also a person who will be helping in the construction process.
This person’s main responsibility is designing and installing the timber works. Suppose you are planning to install wooden flooring and a staircase, then by approaching an experienced carpenter, you can get the job done. Some people learn this job just through the skills and knowledge from the ancestor while others learn this as coarse.
To become a recognized carpenter, you will need both skills and experience where you will be able to improve and polish the skill through experience. Hence when you also have adequate knowledge of carpentry, you will be capable of building a career where you will have the capacity to coordinate the plumbers and the electrician.
Contractor Vs Carpenter
You might have seen contractors and carpenters who will be involved in constructing your house. This might often make you wonder whether they both have a similar job role. Hence it is necessary to know about the differences between contractor vs carpenter to differentiate them.
The first thing you must understand is that there are people capable of doing multiple tasks but will be specialized in certain fields. So, when you are trying to reach out to the exact person who will be capable of helping you to construct your house, it is important to consider whether to call an expert or a general person.
Major Difference Between Carpenter and Contractor
Let’s see the major differences that you will observe between these two job roles. Although you might see both carpenter and contractor on a construction site, the responsibilities will differ.
The carpenter is typically a craftsperson who will design the doors, windows, and furniture and also help install the roofing and flooring. Whereas when you take the contractor, he will be performing the overseeing while others will be working. Hence the contractor is the person who will ensure that the work is properly completed.
Suppose you are searching for which job role has an important place in society. Although a contractor will have a higher place in society, you must also understand that both jobs are important. Both contractor and carpenter will be putting their genuine effort into their job role to meet the expected requirements.
Who You Must Hire Carpenter or Contractor?
When you are going to construct a house, you must be aware of who will be the most suitable person for the work, a carpenter or a contractor. A carpenter will perform excellently in their career, while the contractors will be the best at their job. Hence you cannot expect both of them to complete the same task perfectly. Hence when hiring a contractor or a carpenter, you must consider the following factors.
Requirement of Multiple Trade in a Construction
Suppose your construction involves various tasks while carpentry is minor work, then it is better to choose a general contractor capable of assigning subcontractors and completing all the work. A reputable General contractor will be capable of dealing multiple trades simultaneously. In contrast, if the construction work is related to carpentry, it is better to choose a carpenter.
Consider With Regard to your Knowledge of Construction
Suppose you have an in-depth knowledge of how to construct the house, then you will have the capacity to plan the construction work and assign the task to the relevant people.
You don’t have to waste money hiring a contractor in such a situation. Instead, you can hire a carpenter. If you fear that you will not be able to monitor the construction works and search for suitable people to complete the relevant task, then it is better to get a general contractor. In such a case, the contractor will take responsibility, reducing the burden on your shoulders.
Hence by considering these factors, you can decide whether the carpenter or contractor will be suitable for the task. There is also a situation where you will need to get the help of both these people.

Virtual Teachers’ Day Celebration
“Great teachers have the ability to change lives for the better.”
Knowledge and education are the basis for all things that can be accomplished in life. Teachers provide the power of education to today’s youth, thereby giving them the possibility for a better future.
Teachers can act as a support system that is lacking elsewhere in students lives. They can be a role model and an inspiration to go further and to dream bigger. They hold students accountable for their success and failures and good teachers won’t let their talented students get away with not living up to their full potential.
Their day begins before their students are even awake and can carry on long into the evening. They work in front of children, the world’s toughest audience with patience and understanding. They do one of the most important jobs in the world. Teachers are our quiet heroes of our communities.
It is granted that technology has opened the door of new learning and has also changed the course of education. But a good teacher has the power to change our life, ignite us in the most perfect way.
All over India, Teacher’s Day is celebrated on 5th Sep every year for showing due respect to all the teachers in the country. This marks the birth anniversary of our first Vice-President & the second President of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.
With lockdown restrictions and social distancing norms put in place, Taurian family has taken to celebrate Teacher’s Day virtually. The virtual event was visualized by our honourable Principal Sir Dr. Subhash Kumar, our section incharges Mr, Vijay Akshit Paul and Pradeep Mishra and all the faculty members. It was a great experience for all. There were some noteworthy performances by the students in the form of dance, poetry and songs especially created in honour of the teachers, which had a mesmerizing appeal.
The children showed gratitude to the teachers, they described how the teachers helped them to excel in academics. They also made giftcards with the help of online resources and personal greeting cards to honour their teacher mentioning their hard work, especially during online classes. They spoke a few words about their favourite teacher who inspired and helped them to excel. They made the teacher proud and their messages touched teachers’ heart. It was a novice experience that taught us how a program can be successfully compiled and completed in the situation of constant instability due to the prevailing pandemic. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4262 | {"url": "https://tws.edu.in/blog/virtual-teachers-day-celebration-2/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "tws.edu.in", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:52:41Z", "digest": "sha1:F3ZETAHZIPJFYJZG3TNTYN6GTXJNZTRO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2510, 2510.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2510, 6022.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2510, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2510, 234.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2510, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2510, 243.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2510, 0.42826552]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2510, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2510, 0.01215362]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2510, 0.00583374]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2510, 0.01652893]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2510, 0.1006424]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2510, 0.55555556]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2510, 4.96859903]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2510, 4.9630719]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2510, 414.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 100, 1.0], [100, 302, 1.0], [302, 630, 1.0], [630, 922, 1.0], [922, 1122, 1.0], [1122, 1372, 1.0], [1372, 1888, 1.0], [1888, 2510, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 100, 0.0], [100, 302, 0.0], [302, 630, 0.0], [630, 922, 0.0], [922, 1122, 0.0], [1122, 1372, 0.0], [1372, 1888, 0.0], [1888, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 34, 4.0], [34, 100, 11.0], [100, 302, 33.0], [302, 630, 57.0], [630, 922, 50.0], [922, 1122, 38.0], [1122, 1372, 40.0], [1372, 1888, 82.0], [1888, 2510, 99.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 100, 0.0], [100, 302, 0.0], [302, 630, 0.0], [630, 922, 0.0], [922, 1122, 0.0], [1122, 1372, 0.00414938], [1372, 1888, 0.0], [1888, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 100, 0.0], [100, 302, 0.0], [302, 630, 0.0], [630, 922, 0.0], [922, 1122, 0.0], [1122, 1372, 0.0], [1372, 1888, 0.0], [1888, 2510, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 34, 0.11764706], [34, 100, 0.01515152], [100, 302, 0.00990099], [302, 630, 0.00914634], [630, 922, 0.01369863], [922, 1122, 0.01], [1122, 1372, 0.052], [1372, 1888, 0.03488372], [1888, 2510, 0.00803859]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2510, 0.09180361]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2510, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2510, 0.06464094]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2510, -33.28889616]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2510, 54.92050485]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2510, -52.04017554]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2510, 25.0]]} |

Tag: love your enemies
Misusing the Law – Matthew 5:33-48
In this session we look at some of Jesus’ most famous sayings – “eye for an eye”, “love your enemies”. These are actually three examples of how people were misusing the Law. We finish by looking at a summary of what the Law is all about.
The previous Sermon on the Mount video on “Marriage & Sex” is available here.
In due course this series will replace the existing Sermon on the Mount series.

Ariana Grande’s New Tattoo Is a Permanent Tribute to This Brave Anime Heroine
Ariana Grande has added another tattoo full of special meaning to her growing collection: a sweet tribute to Hayao Miyazaki’s 2001 film Spirited Away. The 25-year-old singer is known for her many tiny tattoos, some of which match fiancé Pete Davidson’s, but this anime art is one of her biggest additions yet.
Grande recently showed off her adorable new ink, a depiction of the film’s main character, Chihiro, on her forearm. A dedicated fan of Miyazaki’s films, Grande told fans the permanent significance behind Chihiro in a now-expired Instagram Story. According to Grande, this character sheds her own fears throughout the film and matures into a “courageous, quick-witted, and reliable girl.” It makes sense that Grande would resonate with the movie’s brave heroine. Check out more snaps of Grande’s new ink ahead — she clearly loves this newest addition.

PSAC secures reversal of Harper-era legal changes affecting collective bargaining, sick leave
The following article is reposted from the PSAC website:
Following a long campaign by PSAC, Bill C-62—An Act to amend the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act and other Acts—received Royal Assent on November 26, 2018.
The new law reverses several Harper-era changes to federal collective bargaining legislation, which limited the right of public service workers to strike and gave the government the right to unilaterally remove or change sick leave provisions negotiated into collective agreements at any time.
Previously, PSAC had launched two legal actions against the changes introduced by the Conservatives, which the union believes violates the Charter rights of members. The court proceedings were adjourned after the Trudeau Liberals entered into an interim agreement with PSAC in July 2016, promising not to exercise the new powers.
“It’s been a long time since the former Conservative government attacked collective bargaining by passing regressive legislation in 2013 and 2015,” said Chris Aylward, National President of the Public Service Alliance of Canada. “But PSAC members remained committed to reversing those changes and now we’ve won.”
Although PSAC welcomes the adoption of Bill C-62, the union is concerned that the new law does not reflect a Supreme Court of Canada decision on essential service designations. The collective bargaining provisions now restored within the ) still allow the government to declare unionized employees essential even if non-union staff are available to provide the service in question during a strike.
As the FPSLRA is overdue for a review, PSAC looks forward to meaningful consultation with the government and expects that the law will be amended in the near future to ensure it is fully respectful of members’ Charter rights. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4270 | {"url": "https://usje-sesj.com/en/psac-secures-reversal-of-harper-era-legal-changes-affecting-collective-bargaining-sick-leave/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "usje-sesj.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:59:01Z", "digest": "sha1:KEDMS4WZQDXFCJO4BQRAKTZBSVM2DHL7"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1906, 1906.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1906, 2778.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1906, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1906, 61.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1906, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1906, 236.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1906, 0.3641791]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1906, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1906, 0.05047319]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1906, 0.02397476]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1906, 0.02649842]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1906, 0.0358209]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1906, 0.11111111]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1906, 0.12537313]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1906, 0.59106529]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1906, 5.4467354]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1906, 0.00298507]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1906, 4.76697172]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1906, 291.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 28, 1.0], [28, 122, 0.0], [122, 179, 0.0], [179, 346, 1.0], [346, 640, 1.0], [640, 970, 1.0], [970, 1283, 1.0], [1283, 1681, 1.0], [1681, 1906, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 122, 0.0], [122, 179, 0.0], [179, 346, 0.0], [346, 640, 0.0], [640, 970, 0.0], [970, 1283, 0.0], [1283, 1681, 0.0], [1681, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 28, 4.0], [28, 122, 12.0], [122, 179, 9.0], [179, 346, 27.0], [346, 640, 43.0], [640, 970, 50.0], [970, 1283, 46.0], [1283, 1681, 61.0], [1681, 1906, 39.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 122, 0.0], [122, 179, 0.0], [179, 346, 0.04938272], [346, 640, 0.0], [640, 970, 0.01234568], [970, 1283, 0.02597403], [1283, 1681, 0.00512821], [1681, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 122, 0.0], [122, 179, 0.0], [179, 346, 0.0], [346, 640, 0.0], [640, 970, 0.0], [970, 1283, 0.0], [1283, 1681, 0.0], [1681, 1906, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.14285714], [28, 122, 0.05319149], [122, 179, 0.0877193], [179, 346, 0.11377246], [346, 640, 0.00680272], [640, 970, 0.04545455], [970, 1283, 0.04792332], [1283, 1681, 0.02763819], [1681, 1906, 0.05333333]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1906, 0.88686848]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1906, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1906, 0.59504426]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1906, -75.5344497]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1906, 32.85741943]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1906, 2.67919319]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1906, 10.0]]} |

1862 church restored steeple with finial
With good reason, Valley Grove is on the National Register of Historic Sites. The 1862 limestone church was built in a significant era of Minnesota’s history, in the year of the Dakota Uprising nearby and in midst of the nation’s Civil War, in which the Minnesota volunteer regiment played an essential role. Yet at this peaceful and beautiful site, one senses what it must have meant for Norwegian immigrant farm families scattered around the countryside to have a physical center for fostering their traditions and values, a haven in those times that was grander than their simple homes. The churchyard, with its commanding view of the surrounding area, became the final resting place for the congregation’s members; the first gravestone dates from the year of the stone church’s construction.
One of the first gravestones
Already the location the settlers chose offers pastoral views in almost every direction, with the two historic churches standing sentry over a rolling landscape of fields, forest, and prairie. Today, the picturesque setting in the immaculately kept grounds, surrounded by the restored oak savannah, must give the site an appearance similar to that of the founders’ time, enhancing the simplicity of each church in its own way. This unusual incidence of two churches in one ensemble also provides insight into Minnesota church architectural history.
Limestone Church (1862)
Constructed with local limestone rock by Norwegian immigrants and dedicated in 1868, the building was plastered to protect the stones from weathering. Then lines created with darker whitewash were applied to give the illusion of well-crafted symmetric stones. Historic photos also show two bas-relief sculptures on the front of the church. Recently, we’ve discovered that the style of plaster work is quite rare and requires extensive work to be restored for future generations. Grant applications for funding this and other restoration projects are in progress.
The interior of the stone church originally featured a raised pulpit on the right side of the sanctuary, a small organ, an elaborate cast-iron chandelier with matching wall sconces, and a hand-carved wooden arch that linked the two ends of the three-sided choir loft. The bell, cast in New York, installed in 1875, and moved to the clapboard church in 1894, is said to be the second oldest church bell still ringing west of the Mississippi. An iconic rooster finial graces the steeple.

After 1894, the stone church was used as a Guild Hall, where the Ladies Aid met and community functions were held. In 1895 a false ceiling blocking off the choir loft was built, along with a kitchen at the east end. In recent years, the false ceiling was removed as part of a restoration project. Other efforts have included restoration of the steeple, with the reconstruction of the rooster finial from a rediscovered sketch (2008), and installation of new maple flooring 2013). The recent rediscovery of parts of the original chandelier raise hopes it might also be restored or recreated.
White Clapboard Church (1894)
1894 church
This structure was built when the congregation outgrew the stone church; it was dedicated on November 8, 1894. Its Gothic style has direct connections to other historic churches in the area, such as the Christiana Lutheran Church in Lakeville (1878) and Grace Lutheran Church in Nerstrand (1894). Arched windows, the colorful organ, well-crafted wooden pews, and the painting in the alcove above the alter grace its plain interior. The belfry is reached from the balcony at the rear of the sanctuary. The pulpit, the original organ, chandelier (later removed), and bell were moved there from the stone church. Over the years improvements to the church have included a new and finer organ (1911), electrification (1939), and a modern sound system (2010), as well as a series of ever-better heating systems (the latest in 2013).
The simultaneous construction of the Grace Lutheran Church in Nerstrand in 1894 marked the separation of the local Norwegian immigrant worshiping community into two parishes. The Valley Grove Lutheran Church congregation met for services in the 1894 building until April, 1973, when it was de-commissioned after the congregation disbanded.

Democrat Says John Lewis Is A True American Hero—But He Needs To Get Real On Immigration
Donald A. Collins
See, earlier Frank Morris Speaks For African-Americans On Immigration By Donald A. Collins
It’s rare to hear from someone I consider a true hero. Last week I had just such an opportunity when I listened to a speech by Civil Rights icon and Congressman John Lewis. Yet Lewis’s support for open borders threatens to undermine everything that he has accomplished.
Lewis spoke at the Washington DC Newseum about his experiences in the Civil Rights Movement [Civil Rights Superhero: An Evening With John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, Newseum, February 25, 2015]. He delivered a spellbinding stem-winder recounting his dangerous history in the struggle for equality for African-Americans. In the end, I believe that what Lewis and his comrades fought for was simply for America to adhere to the rule of law and adhere to the ideals in our founding documents.
I must admit his stories often brought me close to tears. And his wildly enthusiastic reception by a mostly non-black audience was marked by repeated standing ovations.
Everything Congressman Lewis said was marked by hearty applause, which I was glad to join. But when Lewis called for comprehensive immigration reform, my hands remained still.
He can hardly be blamed. After all, it seems like every Democrat these days—except me—has taken the Obama Open Borders position. This support comes from both those who have experienced privilege and oppression.
When I lived in the North Beach area of San Francisco, near Nancy Pelosi’s wealthy district, I heard reports that kids in the local youth center spoke over 20 languages. And we can expect Lewis to feel a certain empathy for downtrodden illegals after his youthful experiences in what was practically a war zone in Alabama.
But does Lewis truly fail to grasp the difference between the Civil Rights Movement and the illegal immigration invasion? He seems strangely willing to ignore the very rule of law he once fought so hard for.
Not all African-Americans share this delusion. As I recently noted, Dr. Frank Morris and other African-American immigration patriots consistently point out that it is our fellow citizens of color who suffer the most from the massive invasion of illegal aliens that has resulted from the 1965 Immigration Act.
And this isn’t surprising. After all, the main supporters of illegal immigration are self-interested economic, ethnic, and religious lobbies—not patriotic citizens.
Regardless of his political position on this issue, Lewis will always be a hero to this Democrat. But the catastrophic impact of his Open Borders position on the upward mobility of so many young African-Americans, especially the 25% of young African-Americans who are unemployed in the District of Columbia, cannot be justified or permitted.
If Democrats such as Pelosi and Lewis think that letting in endless numbers of aliens, legally and illegally, will ensure Democratic hegemony, they are sadly mistaken. They are inspiring a rebellion by an increasingly widespread and diverse group of Americans who are watching their quality of life utterly collapse.
More and more Americans are experiencing the negative consequences of mass immigration. They know wages are declining. They see unemployment rising. They are witness to the collapse of our rule of law.
John Lewis may have been right in the past, but no progressive can support transforming America from a middle class nation of under 200 million people in 1965 into the projected 500 million poverty-stricken Americans of 2050. Fighting for equality means fighting for the victims of mass immigration, including African-Americans, the unemployed, and the working class.
The fight against mass immigration isn’t in contradiction to the Civil Rights movement. It’s part of the same struggle.
It’s a tragedy that people like John Lewis can’t see that and continue to undermine the very causes they sacrificed so much for.

Why are house prices still going up?
January 13, 2022 by Michelle Boakes Category: News
If you’re looking to buy a new home, you’ve probably noticed that house prices have grown rapidly in recent months. According to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), house prices increased by 10.2% in the year to October 2021.
As you may remember, in 2020, the government’s implementation of the Stamp Duty holiday kickstarted the struggling housing market. Furthermore, the conditions of the first lockdown also encouraged people to consider moving home.
However, now that the holiday is over and our national lockdowns seem to be behind us, you might be wondering why this rapid rate of growth has continued. If you are, read on to find out why this may be.
The rise in house prices has significantly outstripped the growth of wages
The strong rate of growth in the UK housing market may come as something of a surprise to many people, as it far outstrips growth in wages. According to data from Statista, in the month of October 2021, wages only increased by 4.2%, less than half the increase in house prices.
While this may seem strange, this is because buying power only plays a small, though obviously not negligible, part in the movements of the housing market. Some of the main factors that influence it include:
This combination of factors means that there are a lot of moving parts in the housing market, which can sometimes make it difficult to accurately predict how it will change. That being said, if you’re well-informed then you can still make an educated guess.
Consumer confidence is high, with almost half of Brits believing the market will continue to rise
As you might imagine, consumer confidence plays a significant part in determining whether house prices rise or fall. When people feel confident that the market is healthy, they feel more willing to buy and this usually leads to continued growth.
This often leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy, although the cycle can be easily disrupted by a short-term fall in prices, which can lead to a confidence crisis.
For example, with the recent spike in Covid-19 cases due to the Omicron variant, some experts feared that the prospect of another lockdown could affect the housing market. Thankfully, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
According to market data published by Property Reporter, almost half of Brits believe that the housing market will continue to rise in the near future. This just goes to show how strong consumer confidence currently is.
Low interest rates enable buyers to borrow significantly more
In 2020, the Bank of England (BoE) slashed its base rate to a historic low of only 0.1% in order to support the UK economy. While this allowed many businesses to borrow more cheaply, it also had an impact on the housing market.
As you might imagine, low interest rates mean that buyers can often afford to take out a larger loan, which leads to increased demand and can cause house prices to rise. Conversely, higher rates make borrowing more expensive, which can lead to a reduction in demand and house prices falling.
In December, the BoE raised interest rates to 0.25% due to the impact of rising inflation on the UK economy. While, in theory, this would have a depressing effect on house prices, the rise is only a small one and so may only have a limited impact on the market.
As a whole, interest rates are still very low by historical standards, and this is helping to encourage the ongoing growth of house prices.
Global supply disruptions have reduced the number of UK homes being built
The final factor that influences property values is the ratio of supply and demand for homes. This is one of the most important factors and can have a large impact on the property market.
As we mentioned in our previous article about whether house prices would fall in 2021, in recent months the number of homes being built has fallen well below its pre-pandemic level. This has caused a lack of supply, which, in turn, raised the value of available properties.
One of the main issues currently faced by the construction industry is the difficulty in obtaining materials. As you may know, the pandemic has caused issues with global supply chains, making the price of many goods more expensive.
According to a survey published in the Guardian, 78% of housebuilders said that the supply and cost of building materials posed a huge problem for the industry.
This reduction in the number of properties being built, coupled with the strong demand for homes, is one of the main reasons that house prices are continuing to rise across the country.
Working with a professional can give you greater peace of mind when moving home
If you’re looking to move home in the near future and are concerned about rising property values making it difficult to afford a mortgage, speaking to a professional could help.
When you work with a mortgage consultant, they can help you to boost your chances of securing a loan. Since they have greater knowledge of the underwriting process, this can help them to find you a lender who is more likely to approve your application.
This can help to give you greater peace of mind to know that you’re maximising your chances of securing a mortgage.
If you’re considering moving home and want to gain more peace of mind by working with a professional, we can help. Email us at [email protected] or call 0330 320 5048.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loans secured on it.

The story of Douglas Munro, the only member of the Coast Guard to receive the Medal of Honor
This Tuesday, September 27, 2016 marks the 74th anniversary of the death of Douglas Munro, a sailor from South Cle Elum, Washington, who is the one and only member of the United States Coast Guard to receive the Medal of Honor.
Douglas A. Munro was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor and the Purple Heart for his heroic and selfless actions on September 27, 1942. Signalman First Class Munro enlisted in the United States Coast Guard in 1939 and was promoted quickly to signalman first class. On September 27, 1942 he found himself off the coast of Guadalcanal waiting at a predesignated rally point to extract nearly 500 Marines who were fighting the Japanese. At this point Munro had previously played an important role in the initial assault, as he was in charge of the ten boats that had landed the Marines on Guadalcanal.
During the battle the officer in charged notified Munro that the Marines were under attack from a much larger Japanese force than was previously assessed and were in need of immediate extract. It was Douglas Munro who volunteered to return to the beach with 24 landing crafts and evacuate the Marines under very heavy fire. Munro helped the majority of the Marines loaded onto the boats, however a small group of Marines were having a difficult time getting off the beach. After quickly assessing the situation, Signalman Munro made the decision to reposition a few boats to provide the remaining Marines better covering fire even though that would expose himself to greater Japanese fire.
This heroic decision saved the lives of many Marines however it cost Munro his own life. It is reported that Douglas Munro’s final words before he died were,
“Did they get off?”
Munro was killed instantly and his remaining crew, who were wounded, stayed on the beach until the last boast was filled and they headed off the beach with the Marines.
Aside from the Medal of Honor and the Purple Heart for which he was awarded posthumously, his other decorations include the American Defense Service Medal, the Asiatic Pacific Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal.
Thank you Mr. Munro for what you did for our country. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4274 | {"url": "https://veteransfuneralcare.com/blog/the-story-of-douglas-munro-the-only-member-of-the-coast-guard-to-receive-the-medal-of-honor", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "veteransfuneralcare.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:04:35Z", "digest": "sha1:XZBROMWLTEJE33LUXOVM7W2W7BVLGL2H"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2243, 2243.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2243, 5065.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2243, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2243, 85.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2243, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2243, 172.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2243, 0.42417062]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2243, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2243, 0.09753425]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2243, 0.07561644]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2243, 0.07561644]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2243, 0.07561644]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2243, 0.03835616]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2243, 0.01369863]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2243, 0.02191781]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2243, 0.03287671]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2243, 0.00473934]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2243, 0.1042654]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2243, 0.48445596]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2243, 4.72797927]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2243, 4.7234945]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2243, 386.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 93, 0.0], [93, 321, 1.0], [321, 925, 1.0], [925, 1615, 1.0], [1615, 1773, 0.0], [1773, 1793, 1.0], [1793, 1962, 1.0], [1962, 2190, 1.0], [2190, 2243, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 93, 0.0], [93, 321, 0.0], [321, 925, 0.0], [925, 1615, 0.0], [1615, 1773, 0.0], [1773, 1793, 0.0], [1793, 1962, 0.0], [1962, 2190, 0.0], [2190, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 93, 18.0], [93, 321, 41.0], [321, 925, 103.0], [925, 1615, 114.0], [1615, 1773, 28.0], [1773, 1793, 4.0], [1793, 1962, 30.0], [1962, 2190, 37.0], [2190, 2243, 11.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 93, 0.0], [93, 321, 0.0361991], [321, 925, 0.03193277], [925, 1615, 0.00292826], [1615, 1773, 0.0], [1773, 1793, 0.0], [1793, 1962, 0.0], [1962, 2190, 0.0], [2190, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 93, 0.0], [93, 321, 0.0], [321, 925, 0.0], [925, 1615, 0.0], [1615, 1773, 0.0], [1773, 1793, 0.0], [1793, 1962, 0.0], [1962, 2190, 0.0], [2190, 2243, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 93, 0.07526882], [93, 321, 0.06578947], [321, 925, 0.04139073], [925, 1615, 0.02318841], [1615, 1773, 0.03797468], [1773, 1793, 0.05], [1793, 1962, 0.01183432], [1962, 2190, 0.08333333], [2190, 2243, 0.05660377]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2243, 0.878461]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2243, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2243, 0.7369259]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2243, 34.5803319]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2243, 61.33268736]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2243, 77.27489997]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2243, 16.0]]} |

Vienna Art Nouveau (4 Hours )
In the 19th century Vienna became one of the most famous centres of the “Art Nouveau”, called after the magazine JUGEND (i.e. YOUTH), founded in Munich in 1896. Beside the floral ornamental decorative style which uses curved lines a second style representing an austere, straight-lined and functional direction was developed. Many buildings in very good condition will be seen on this tour. The OTTO WAGNER house (at Graben 10), the SECESSION, the stations of the Vienna City Railway at KARLSPLATZ, the houses at Linke Wienzeile 38 und 40, the POSTSPARCASSE (the Postal Savings Bank) and the CENTRAL CEMETERY, where we visit the tombs of Schubert, Brahms, Beethoven and Strauß. This tour can be extended to the BELVEDERE PALACE, housing famous works of art by Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt (“The Kiss”) and Oskar Kokoschka. The MUSEUMS QUARTER with the Leopold Collection and works by Egon Schiele is also worth seeing. At special request and prior booking you can also visit the most famous “Art-Nouveau”-ChurchAM STEINHOF (the “Steinhof-Church” right in the centre of the Vienna Mental Institute.

WHAT NORTH AMERICAN HAD IN MIND
_MG_3231-2
E64C6379
Words by Harry Measures, photos by Jim Raeder, Steve Hinton, Jr. and the author - 4 February 2018
Stunningly restored XP-51 Mustang 43-6006 emerged from Pacific Fighters’ workshop in late-summer 2017, in time to partake in the National Championship Air Races at Reno in the hands of restorer and pilot John Muszala II. The Vintage Aviation Echo sat down with John following his Reno début to discuss the Mustang’s two-year restoration and much-anticipated return to flight.
With its Allison V12 engine, three-bladed propeller, elongated nose, chin-mounted machine guns and birdcage canopy, the P-51A is distinctly different to the far more numerous and successful Merlin-powered P-51Ds that succeeded it, and is perhaps the purest form of Mustang. This particular aircraft was the sixth A-model Mustang to roll off the production line at the Inglewood Plant, California in 1943 with tail number 43-6006, making it the oldest of all surviving P-51A variants. The aircraft was delivered to Ladd Field, Alaska in April 1943 for cold weather testing, albeit its tenure in the northern United States lasted only until February 1944. Ten months after arriving in Alaska, the Mustang crashed near Summit, roughly 150 miles from its base, during a snow storm and there its wreckage lay until recovery by Waldon ‘Moon’ Spillers in 1977. Restoration followed using a combination of P-51A and P-51D components, including D-model radiator housing, and the aircraft flew again post-restoration in 1985. It would remain in Spillers’ ownership for a decade, before being acquired by Jerry Gabe.
Under Gabe’s ownership, the aircraft received the name Polar Bear and became a regular competitor at the National Championship Air Races staged annually at Reno, Nevada. Its racing début came in September 2005, with Dave Morss achieving notable success, placing second in the Unlimited Bronze race with an average speed of 334.400 mph and falling in behind race-winning P-51D Cloud Dancer. Morss returned with Polar Bear the following year, winning the Unlimited Bronze race with an improved average speed of 344.211 mph. A three-year hiatus followed and on return to Reno the aircraft placed seventh in the Unlimited Silver race on two consecutive years, its final appearance in 2011 ending with the aircraft failing to progress beyond the Heats.
It was 2012 when current owner Dusty Dowd acquired Polar Bear, and with him being longstanding close friends with John Muszala II, it was no surprise that he would involve Pacific Fighters early on, initially with the intention of engaging the workshop to carry out the first annual maintenance under his ownership. Touching on their relationship, John says, “Dusty is like family to me, he has helped and guided me in a lot of ways from flying and engineering, to sharing his mechanic techniques. He is one of the best people around in my opinion”
It was on a gear swing during that first annual inspection since Dusty’s acquisition of the P-51A that John noticed a spade door was attached not with the original bolt, but with safety wire. That discovery prompted the removal of the landing gear for overhaul, which revealed yet more concerns with the airframe. It would sit until late 2014, when John Muszala Sr inspected the aircraft; “My father took a good look at it and kinda’ sealed its fate. We found a lot of corrosion and just stuff that left you scratching your head”. From there, Dusty gave the go-ahead for Pacific Fighters to undertake the restoration project, and in August 2015 the Mustang was moved to their workshop. John recalls, “We brought the Mustang home with the intention of restoring it, and hoped that we would find the aircraft in a condition where we wouldn’t need to touch everything. That wasn’t the case – we had to carry out a ground-up restoration. Whatever Polar Bear was, it is no more”.
Pacific Fighters was founded by John Muszala, Sr. in 1987, and the workshop has since been responsible for a number of high-profile, award-winning restorations of Second World War and post-war vintage aircraft, with perhaps the best known and most celebrated of those being the Macolm Hooded P-51B Berlin Express. To date, Pacific Fighters has seen five razorback Mustangs emerge from their workshop at Idaho Falls, with a sixth now in the fixtures. This sixth aircraft is a project that is currently for sale; the only known RAF Mustang Mk.III to survive, the machine has extensive combat history with No. 306 “City of Torun” squadron.
The restoration of the P-51A progressed apace from August 2015, with considerable effort going into the area forward of the firewall – it being replaced entirely by the front section from a North American A-36. Accordingly, the lower cowlings are different to a standard A-variant, with the addition of two synchronised Browning .50cal ‘chin’ guns mounted in the fuselage below the engine, barrels protruding just below the propeller. Inside, the systems nestled around the 12-cylinder Allison V-1710 engine remain as per A-model Mustangs, albeit the way in which they are mounted differs substantially. Pacific Fighters also manufactured a new centre section for the aircraft, removing the D-model radiator scoop fitted during the initial restoration and replacing it with the smaller, more aerodynamic A-model housing.
Initially, John had hoped to finish the aircraft as a photo-recon F-6A in olive drab with a white nose, however Dusty turned down this idea and instead pointed to an image of the rare X-model for inspiration. Two XP-51s – the fourth and tenth off the initial Mustang Mk.I production line – were retained by the United States for evaluation and assigned the serial numbers 41-038 and 41-039. The former is preserved by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), whilst the latter – the more photographed of the pair – was chosen as the identity for the recreated Mustang’s new markings, specifically as marked when based at Wright Field in 1941. Looking back, John notes, “The more we got into the restoration, the more we realised there were so many similarities to the X-model with this aeroplane – like the X-model, for example, it is basically an A-36 firewall forward”. Moreover, he adds, “The aeroplane has a D-model landing gear system and a second seat, and I think the whole idea of the X-model and the paint job fits this Mustang perfectly”. He muses that the decision to restore the aircraft as an XP-51 is a reflection on its new owner. “For Dusty to restore an aeroplane that pays homage to the flight test pilots, the engineers and all the people who gave America the fighting edge in World War Two is very special – it’s the perfect match.”

Dusty is a keen race pilot whose family history is entwined with the sport. His uncle both designed and raced the popular Rivets in the Cleveland air races after the Second World War and more recently, Dusty placed first in the Unlimited Silver class in 2016 in his modified Yak-11 Lylia. Naturally, as the restoration progressed, he had told John that he would like to race the aircraft at Reno, and so the rebuild incorporated a number of ‘extras’ with racing in mind, one being a water spray bar in the radiator housing, fed from a tank in the gun bay. Originally, the aim was to race at Reno in 2016, but with considerable work still to do before the first flight would even be in sight the aircraft’s début was pushed back to the following year. Making Reno 2017 still required a herculean effort from the Pacific Fighters team. “It was seven days a week for a year,” says John, “and my vacation was going to Duxford!” [John was part of the team that accompanied P-51B Berlin Express to Flying Legends in July]. A final push saw the aircraft coming together in time for John to carry out the XP-51’s first flight in August – two years from when it was pulled apart for the trip to Idaho, and just weeks before Reno. “Talk about cutting it close! Still, we got it done.”
This was the first post-restoration test flight John had undertaken, although he is no stranger to more general test flying. “I did the entire flight test programme on Berlin Express, including engine, propeller and load testing. I had flown a full test profile before, but never the very first flight; my father, John Sr., has always done the first flight.” Prior to getting airborne in the reborn XP-51, John undertook extensive ground work including memorising emergency checklists and carrying out in-cockpit familiarisation of the instrumentation and systems.
Strapping into the XP-51, it becomes immediately apparent that the aircraft is different to the later marks of Mustang, from the throttle quadrant to the trim box. Flight and engine instrumentation takes an alternative layout to the common B/C/D-model structure (requiring re-familiarisation, even for a Mustang pilot of John’s calibre), whilst the throttle quadrant is an older design with throttle, propeller and mixture levers shaped and positioned differently to those in the later models. The most jarring change comes from the view forward. Having now flown A, B, C and D-model Mustangs with all three-canopy variants (bird cage, Malcolm Hood and teardrop), John is uniquely placed to comment on the differences between them. “The ‘Malcolm Hood’ Berlin Express has is the best canopy you could ever get for visibility. You can look all around, never hit your head on anything and taxying is a breeze. This thing is a completely different story!” The poor visibility is a byproduct of the Allison’s downdraft carburettor, the intake for which sits atop the nose, blocking the view forward. “It’s a very ‘blind’ aeroplane, especially on the ground”, adds John. “You can basically just paint the forward bullet-proof glass panel black and that’s what you see – there is no visibility!”
Simultaneously to ground training, John racked up considerable Mustang time by intensively flying the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) Mustang based with Pacific Fighters. Taking off, he would pick a point, note the speed and altitude and formulate emergency procedures to call upon should something go awry during testing. “My father’s done a million of those flights”, he reflects, “and Steve Hinton, Johnny Maloney and all those guys are very experienced, so for me that pre-test preparation was something to help ease me in.
“There were a lot of emotions”, he continues. “You’re very, very on point, you’re very focused and you have to understand that literally anything and everything could go wrong on a first flight.” The initial impression of the aircraft was its speed. Not quite the, “Oh yeah, this thing’s got some power” feeling you get in a D-model, to quote John, however it will be airborne and through 180mph quicker than a D-model. “The very first flight, I was off the ground with the gear up and I looked down and thought, wow, this thing is fast!”. With take-off power specified as 52″ manifold pressure/3000rpm in the book, John has found around 47″/3000rpm is more than adequate due to the reduced weight. Indeed, the aircraft weighs in at 6100 lb empty, more than 1000 lbs less than a B or D-model. “We have no armament, no combat weight, none of that stuff. Berlin Express did, and you need every bit of 55″ you can get [on take-off] – this is not like that at all.” Owing somewhat to the reduced frontal area of the A-model as compared to the D-model, and the lighter overall weight, at cruise settings of 30″ and 2000rpm the sleek XP-51 whips along at 260 mph, roughly 10 mph faster than a D, which would be using comparatively higher power of 35″/2300rpm.
The lighter weight and aerodynamics pay dividends in the aerobatic environment, as John explains. “Berlin Express is a very nice flying aeroplane, but this thing is even better, and I think a lot of it has to do with its weight. It’s so light, the ailerons are unbelievable. They have the feel of being boosted without being boosted. It’s very pitch sensitive, a lot more so than Berlin Express, which is itself a pitch-sensitive aircraft.”
Trying to slow down in the landing pattern also offers a challenge, with John occasionally having to S-turn on final in order to bleed speed off, before flaring and touching down as per a normal Mustang, although that in itself is not without its own quirks. “One of the other tricks to this aeroplane is once you touch down, get rid of the flaps – this aeroplane will fly at a slower speed than a B or a D, because it’s so much lighter. If I pull the tail down with the flaps down, all of a sudden it’s wanting to fly again!” Elaborating further on the roll-out procedire, John explains, “Get it stable in a tail-low position, where you’re not right up on the mains and not in a three-point attitude, retract the flaps and let them come up. Let the aeroplane tell you when it’s ready, and when the tail starts to drop, bring it down, pin it and apply brake as needed.” This problem isn’t unique to the XP-51 – at Reno, the Super Mustangs will do just this on roll-out.
In trying to draw a conclusion on test flying the XP-51, John finds himself paraphrasing one of the primary exponents of the UK’s warbird scene. “I think John Romain put it the best when he flew the Mk.I Spitfire. He said, ‘This is the purest form of Spitfire, this is what Mitchell had in mind’. When I flew the A-model, that is what I thought of – this is the purest form of North American’s design, this is the beginning and this is what they had in mind. It was pretty special.”
The plan to bring the aircraft to Reno came to fruition in summer 2017, and whilst the test flying regime was complete, in the push to have the aircraft ready to race final touches to the aircraft’s markings were necessarily postponed. When based at Wright Field in 1941, the Mustang wore the Wright Field arrowhead emblem emblazoned on the aft fuselage and ‘1039’ stencilled on both the cowling and tail. The timescale for making Reno was such that it precluded adding the finishing touches to the markings, so the aircraft would arrive sans Wright Field arrowhead and ‘1039’ stencils. “I got really excited a few nights before Reno and thought, ‘I’m going to paint it on!'”, John laughs. “At about 2 in the morning I decided… Maybe not! It’s actually not unauthentic while it’s at Reno – when it showed up at Wright Field, it looked exactly like that. It’s kinda funny it follows the way it did before.”
With the Mustang’s chin guns removed and the gun ports covered to improve the aircraft’s aerodynamics in the race environment, John soon set about qualifying in the Unlimited class. He and Dusty selected a power setting of 40″/2600rpm, and by Wednesday’s final qualifying session he’d posted a speed of 301mph, placing him at the top of the Unlimited Bronze class. Dusty then posed a challenge to John, to see how much speed he could find using those power settings before increasing them. The challenge, essentially an exercise in precision flying, was gladly met by John. “As I learned the course and understood where, when and how to turn, I gained more than 20mph at the same power setting. That was something I never really thought about, and that shows the importance of flying a really nice, clean course, and something that anybody who wants to come and race at Reno should keep in mind and try for themselves.”
As the week went on, John would push to win the second Bronze heat, eventually placing 3rd in the Unlimited Silver class (posting a time of 10:18.321 and an average speed of 319.644mph over seven laps) and reaching speeds of around 340mph without taxing the aircraft. John is understandably proud of his début year: “I mean, I could go out and run more than take-off power and 3000rpm and end up doing pretty well, and yeah, that aeroplane would really scoot along. However, because it’s my first year and because of the aeroplane only having recently flown, we decided, let’s come to Reno, let’s have fun, but let’s not push it.” John has a clear and deep appreciation for the aircraft and, somewhat underlining the decision to challenge himself rather than the aircraft. “Under no circumstances do I ever want to hurt this aeroplane”, he says in the wake of a successful week of races.
Unwinding in the pits on the Sunday night, reflecting on the week’s races with a beer in hand and looking over the XP-51 glimmering in the sunset hues, John contemplates the personal significance of the 2017 races. “Reno’s completely different – every airshow has its own niche. I go to Chino and see a bunch of American stuff, I go to Duxford and see more Spitfires than I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and I come here and see Super ‘Stangs that make stock Mustangs look like T-6s flying around. You know, Reno is just one of those special places that really means a lot to me, and has my whole life.” This affiliation began in 1987 when, at just six weeks old, John and both Steven and Amanda Hinton were snuck into the pits. John has gone on to enjoy a lifelong friendship with renowned racer Steve Hinton, Jr; “Steve and I grew up building model planes together, even having our dads cut the wings down so we had race planes to play with. Our dads both raced and we both had uncles that raced. Reno has just always been a big part of our lives, and being able to come out and do it myself, it’s…” He searches for the words.
“To race at Reno is one of the biggest lifelong dreams I’ve ever had, and in some ways, it’s very emotional. To do it in this particular Mustang… It’s pretty special”
"To race at Reno is one of the biggest lifelong dreams I’ve ever had.
To do it in this particular Mustang... It’s pretty special.” - John Muszala II

Grazzano Visconti
When to go and what to see
Information and useful advice
Along the Provincial road of the Val Nure, midway between Podenzano and Vigolzone, stands Grazzano Visconti, the quaint village recognised as a “Città d’arte” (City of Art) by the Emilia Romagna Region in 1986, where time seems to have stopped in the Middle Ages.
The history of Grazzano was for many centuries linked to that of the Anguissola family, but it was Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone, a brilliant and cultured Milanese aristocrat, who decided, at the beginning of the 20th century, to create a picturesque village here in mediaeval style. It is a rare example of revivalist architecture (so fashionable in Europe between the 19th and 20th centuries), linked to a passion for the theatrical and costumes and a love of traditions, which today allows visitors to feel like they have been catapulted back in time 700 years.
The village can be visited at any time of the year and is still inhabited. A visit takes on extra interest on the occasion of one of the events in costume, which take place mostly in spring and autumn, or otherwise in Advent, the time of the Christmas markets.
It is the village itelf that is the point of major interest, with its gravelled streets, the frescoed fronts of the houses, the porticos, the statues….
The Parish Church of Santi Cosma e Damiano is the oldest building in the village, though its present appearance is the result of redecoration in the 17th century. Inside there is a chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes with numerous ex votos.
The Piazza del Biscione in the centre of the village is surrounded by the Palazzo dell’Istituzione, the Albergo del Biscione and the well.
The Cortevecchia, the old farmyard, has a small museum of agricultural equipment under its long portico.
The Statue of Aloisa, the ghost of Grazzano Visconti.
Il Museo delle Cere, the Waxworks, house wax models of people who have played a role in the history of Piacenza. Their stories are told during the guided visit, with various anecdotes.
The small but exhaustive Museo delle Torture (Torture Museum) is housed in the Palazzetto dell’Istituzione. The instruments of torture are accompanied by explanatory panels. Next to the Museum an Escape Room on the theme of the Inquisition has been set up.
The houses – which are private homes – are not open for visits, but there are numerous shops selling crafts and souvenirs to visitors. They are open all year round, especially at weekends and holiday times.
The Castle and the Historic Park of the Castle.
The castle, which served both defensive and residential purposes, dates from 1395. It was completely restored and refurnished by Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone, following the eclectic taste of the times; today the castle still belongs to the duke’s heirs.
The magnificent dwelling can be visited between March and October on guided visits with an entrance fee. The castle is open to individuals on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, while groups can book for times and days that they choose.
The guided visit includes the courtyard, the richly furnished reception rooms on the ground floor (drawing room, library, dining room) and the bedrooms on the first floor.
The Park of the Castle, planned by Giuseppe Visconti, covers about 15 hectares. It is a place designed for relaxation and enjoyment, with an Italian garden and a park in English style. Scattered through the park are statues, vases, columns, fountains and, obviously, a great variety of trees and shrubs. The miniature cottage built for the duke’s daughters seems straight out of a fairy tale.
The park can be visited on guided visits (entrance fee) at fixed times for individuals and by arrangement for groups.
Tortelli con la coda (De.Co. of the Commune of Vigolzone) and pisarei e fasö, can be enjoyed in all the restaurants.
A point of local pride are the PDO cured meats of Piacenza including salame, coppa and pancetta, to be eaten possibly with a chisolino (of various sizes and shapes, these are made from a bread dough, rolled out and cut up, and then deep-fried in lard so that they puff up) and accompanied by the D.O.P. dei Colli piacentini wines, above all the celebrated Gutturnio.
The Historic Procession (Corteo Storico) on the last Sunday in May, with everyone in mediaeval costume is the main traditional event.
Numerous other events set in the Middle Ages or fantasy worlds, suited to all tastes or perhaps aimed especially at children or young people, take place in spring or autumn.
Verde Grazzano, an exhibition of plants and flowers, is held in the castle park during the final week of September.
Christmas markets are held in the village at the weekend between mid November and 6 January.
The village is completely closed to traffic, so there are two large car parks at the entrances, free on weekdays while there is a charge on Saturdays and Sundays.
Not far from Grazzano Visconti are the fhills clad with vineyards. It does not take long to reach Rivalta (17 km) with its castle in the Trebbia Valley.
Grazzano Visconti is the springboard for visits to the Nure Valley with its unspoilt countryside, places like the waterfalls on the Perino, near Calendasco (36 km), or Lakes Moo, Nero and Bino, all of glacial origin, near Ferriere (45 km) or to visit the small towns of Vigolzone (2 km), Ponte dell’Olio (8 km), Bettola (20 km) and Farini (29 km), on the occasion of festivals or food fairs.

BitTitan Names Joseph Nguyen Director of Information Security
BitTitan, a global leader in migrations and managed services automation with a family of solutions including MigrationWiz, Voleer and Perspectium, announced Joseph Nguyen as the company's first director of information security. In this role, Nguyen will oversee security operations across all BitTitan products and departments. He will spearhead additional security governance initiatives to monitor and enforce company-wide security policies and procedures, which will further mitigate risk for BitTitan and every one of their customers as the company continues to grow.
"Joseph brings to BitTitan extensive knowledge and expertise in the areas of global security, compliance, DevOps and IT management," said Geeman Yip, BitTitan founder and CEO. "Ensuring the highest levels of security for our customers and team has always been a top priority at BitTitan. As we expand our solutions across diverse markets, we're focused on enhancing and strengthening our approach to security and establishing a unified vision for our company. We couldn't be more excited to welcome a dedicated security expert like Joseph into this role to help bring this vision to life."
Joseph will take the helm of BitTitan's well-managed security program, which outlines highly structured security controls guiding the company's product development efforts, quality assurance and deployments. He'll also assume leadership over the company's security and compliance awareness training programs.
Most recently, Nguyen served as Perspectium's director of DevOps, overseeing security and compliance certifications for the company in San Diego, where he'll continue to work. BitTitan acquired Perspectium in April 2021.
Before joining Perspectium, Nguyen was the director of software engineering at NBC Universal in Los Angeles, where his responsibilities included managing the cybersecurity and compliance for domestic and international filmed programming.
"I am thrilled to move into this new role at BitTitan, which is truly an innovative and industry-leading cloud enablement company," said Nguyen. "BitTitan has established its reputation as a market leader with unique products such as MigrationWiz, Voleer and Perspectium. Our company has proven its capabilities in securely migrating data for companies across the globe and in industries where data protection is of the utmost importance, including health care, finance, education and government. I am committed to delivering the highest level of security to our customers, partners and employees."
Nguyen holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto and a master's degree in physics from Princeton University.

Seller Financing: It Makes Dollars and Sense
When contemplating the sale of a business, an important option to consider is seller financing. Many potential buyers don’t have the necessary capital or lender resources to pay cash. Even if they do, they are often reluctant to put such a hefty sum of cash into what, for them, is a new and untried venture.
Why the hesitation? The typical buyer feels that, if the business is really all that it’s “advertised” to be, it should pay for itself. Buyers often interpret the seller’s insistence on all cash as a lack of confidence–in the business, in the buyer’s chances to succeed, or both.
The buyer’s interpretation has some basis in fact. The primary reason sellers shy away from offering terms is their fear that the buyer will be unsuccessful. If the buyer should cease payments–for any reason–the seller would be forced either to take back the business or forfeit the balance of the note.
The seller who operates under the influence of this fear should take a hard look at the upside of seller financing. Statistics show that sellers receive a significantly higher purchase price if they decide to accept terms. On average, a seller who sells for all cash receives approximately 70 percent of the asking price. This adds up to approximately 16 percent difference on a business listed for $150,000, meaning that the seller who is willing to accept terms will receive approximately $24,000 more than the seller who is asking for all cash.
Even with these compelling reasons to accept terms, sellers may still be reluctant. Selling a business can be perceived as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hit the cash jackpot. Therefore, it is important to note that seller financing has advantages that, in many instances, far outweigh the immediate satisfaction of cash-in-hand.
Seller financing greatly increases the chances that the business will sell.
The seller offering terms will command a much higher price.
The interest on a seller-financed deal will add significantly to the actual selling price. (For example, a seller carry-back note at eight percent carried over nine years will double the amount carried. Over a nine-year period, $100,000 at eight percent will result in the seller receiving $200,000.)
With interest rates currently the lowest in years, sellers can get a much higher rate from a buyer than they can get from any financial institution.
The tax consequences of accepting terms can be much more advantageous than those of an all-cash sale.
Financing the sale helps assure the success of both the sale and the business, since the buyer will perceive the offer of terms as a vote of confidence.
Obviously, there are no guarantees that the buyer will be sucessful in operating the business. However, it is well to note that, in most transactions, buyers are putting a substantial amount of personal cash on the line–in many cases, their entire capital. Although this investment doesn’t insure success, it does mean that the buyer will work hard to support such a commitment.
There are many ways to structure the seller-financed sale that make sense for both buyer and seller. Creative financing is an area where your business broker professional can be of help. He or she can recommend a variety of payment plans that, in many cases, can mean the difference between a successful transaction and one that is not. Serious sellers owe it to themselves to consider financing the sale. By lending a helping hand to buyers, they will, in most cases, be helping themselves as well. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4282 | {"url": "https://vrgreatlakesbay.com/seller-financing-it-makes-dollars-sense/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "vrgreatlakesbay.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:33:59Z", "digest": "sha1:E7GVJUTMWGVOKUQK5X2VPNCK3MG264D7"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3540, 3540.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3540, 7546.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3540, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3540, 125.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3540, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3540, 253.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3540, 0.44695898]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3540, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3540, 0.01254793]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3540, 0.02300453]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3540, 0.01673057]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3540, 0.01673057]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3540, 0.145686]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3540, 0.44067797]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3540, 4.86271186]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3540, 4.98109219]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3540, 590.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 354, 1.0], [354, 634, 1.0], [634, 938, 1.0], [938, 1486, 1.0], [1486, 1821, 1.0], [1821, 1897, 1.0], [1897, 1957, 1.0], [1957, 2258, 0.0], [2258, 2407, 1.0], [2407, 2509, 1.0], [2509, 2662, 1.0], [2662, 3041, 1.0], [3041, 3540, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 354, 0.0], [354, 634, 0.0], [634, 938, 0.0], [938, 1486, 0.0], [1486, 1821, 0.0], [1821, 1897, 0.0], [1897, 1957, 0.0], [1957, 2258, 0.0], [2258, 2407, 0.0], [2407, 2509, 0.0], [2509, 2662, 0.0], [2662, 3041, 0.0], [3041, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 45, 7.0], [45, 354, 55.0], [354, 634, 48.0], [634, 938, 51.0], [938, 1486, 92.0], [1486, 1821, 50.0], [1821, 1897, 11.0], [1897, 1957, 10.0], [1957, 2258, 47.0], [2258, 2407, 26.0], [2407, 2509, 17.0], [2509, 2662, 28.0], [2662, 3041, 62.0], [3041, 3540, 86.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 354, 0.0], [354, 634, 0.0], [634, 938, 0.0], [938, 1486, 0.02793296], [1486, 1821, 0.0], [1821, 1897, 0.0], [1897, 1957, 0.0], [1957, 2258, 0.04195804], [2258, 2407, 0.0], [2407, 2509, 0.0], [2509, 2662, 0.0], [2662, 3041, 0.0], [3041, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 354, 0.0], [354, 634, 0.0], [634, 938, 0.0], [938, 1486, 0.0], [1486, 1821, 0.0], [1821, 1897, 0.0], [1897, 1957, 0.0], [1957, 2258, 0.0], [2258, 2407, 0.0], [2407, 2509, 0.0], [2509, 2662, 0.0], [2662, 3041, 0.0], [3041, 3540, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.13333333], [45, 354, 0.00970874], [354, 634, 0.01071429], [634, 938, 0.00986842], [938, 1486, 0.00729927], [1486, 1821, 0.00895522], [1821, 1897, 0.01315789], [1897, 1957, 0.01666667], [1957, 2258, 0.00996678], [2258, 2407, 0.00671141], [2407, 2509, 0.00980392], [2509, 2662, 0.00653595], [2662, 3041, 0.00791557], [3041, 3540, 0.01002004]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3540, 0.77296585]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3540, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3540, 0.08937925]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3540, -132.9952779]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3540, 70.29970984]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3540, -114.80768992]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3540, 32.0]]} |
First-Time Primary Caregivers’ Experience of Caring for Young Adults With First-Episode Psychosis

McCann, Terence, Lubman, Dan and Clark, Eileen (2011) First-Time Primary Caregivers’ Experience of Caring for Young Adults With First-Episode Psychosis. Schizophrenia Bulletin, 37 (2). pp. 381-388. ISSN 0586-7614 (print) 1745-1701 (online)
Becoming a carer is associated with physical, emotional, and financial hardship, with caregivers often experiencing a maelstrom of emotions as they struggle to understand what has happened to their loved one. While the burden of caring for young people with first-episode psychosis (FEP) has been well documented, much less is known about how carers develop the strength and resilience to continue caring. This qualitative study aimed to understand the experience of 20 first-time primary caregivers of young adults with FEP. Most caregivers were female (85%, n = 17) and parents (85%, n = 17). The average length of involvement as a caregiver at an FEP service was 14.5 months. Six main themes were identified in the data, highlighting the carers’ experience in supporting young adults with FEP. Caregiving is a burdensome responsibility and is characterized as a roller coaster and unpredictable experience. Caregivers often feel responsible for the young person's illness; however, eventually most come to terms with the changes that have occurred in the young person with FEP. As a consequence of the illness, the relationship between caregiver and care recipient frequently becomes closer and deeper, although it is important that they both maintain hope for the future. These findings provide important insights into the experiences of first-time caregivers of young people with FEP, with direct implications for improving the information and support given to caregivers by FEP services, as well as the development of interventions that effectively address the unique challenges caregivers face following the onset of FEP.

5K Race
Virtual Run
Dawn’s Hope is a 5K race to honor the life and legacy of Dawn Davis Calhoun. Dawn was a wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend who lived an amazing life. In 2015, after being in remission for 11 years, she was re-diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Instead of letting this devastating news define who she was, Dawn chose to live her life “OUT LOUD” and on full display for everyone to see. This was her mission….her calling!!! She would go on to complete multiple marathons, half marathons and numerous half ironman competitions.
Dawn was simply an amazing woman and an inspiration to many!!!!
Portions of the proceeds from this race will go to support breast cancer research through organizations that Dawn supported: Stand Up 2 Cancer and the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4284 | {"url": "https://walkcabarrus.com/local-events/dawns-hope-5k/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "walkcabarrus.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:04:38Z", "digest": "sha1:JZJCC4DUG74HMDUBF4L46EBJF7QUQCLD"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 895, 895.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 895, 1638.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 895, 9.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 895, 61.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 895, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 895, 289.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 895, 0.32978723]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 895, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 895, 0.01694915]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 895, 0.03191489]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 895, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 895, 0.19148936]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 895, 0.65384615]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 895, 4.53846154]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 895, 0.00531915]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 895, 4.44098478]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 895, 156.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 41, 1.0], [41, 64, 0.0], [64, 81, 0.0], [81, 89, 0.0], [89, 101, 0.0], [101, 647, 1.0], [647, 711, 1.0], [711, 895, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 41, 0.0], [41, 64, 0.0], [64, 81, 0.0], [81, 89, 0.0], [89, 101, 0.0], [101, 647, 0.0], [647, 711, 0.0], [711, 895, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 14, 3.0], [14, 41, 5.0], [41, 64, 4.0], [64, 81, 3.0], [81, 89, 2.0], [89, 101, 2.0], [101, 647, 94.0], [647, 711, 11.0], [711, 895, 32.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 14, 0.07692308], [14, 41, 0.26086957], [41, 64, 0.35294118], [64, 81, 0.0], [81, 89, 0.14285714], [89, 101, 0.0], [101, 647, 0.01515152], [647, 711, 0.0], [711, 895, 0.00552486]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 14, 0.0], [14, 41, 0.0], [41, 64, 0.0], [64, 81, 0.0], [81, 89, 0.0], [89, 101, 0.0], [101, 647, 0.0], [647, 711, 0.0], [711, 895, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 14, 0.21428571], [14, 41, 0.07407407], [41, 64, 0.08695652], [64, 81, 0.17647059], [81, 89, 0.25], [89, 101, 0.16666667], [101, 647, 0.03479853], [647, 711, 0.015625], [711, 895, 0.05434783]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 895, 0.00113356]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 895, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 895, 0.06240505]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 895, -42.74532969]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 895, -4.47772717]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 895, -9.48808594]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 895, 11.0]]} |

toward a process theology of the Bible
Author: GLW
meme of the day
Actually, there were far more than 8 translators. See here.
Also, there are in fact quite a number of extant manuscript fragments and quotations from early Christian writers of the gospels and Paul’s letters dating to the late first and early-mid second centuries CE, so the bit about the oldest manuscripts not being written down until hundreds of years after the last apostle died simply isn’t true. Also, “written down” suggests that the texts weren’t composed until hundreds of years after, which obviously can’t be so given the existence of the aforementioned first-second century fragments and quotations. “Copied” would have been a better word choice.
Also, I should point out that we don’t have the original text of any other ancient writing (except, of course, for texts that would be classified as ephemera: contracts, bills, receipts, personal letters, etc.). Not one. So the Bible is not at all unusual in this regard.
And some important ancient texts are extant today in only one or a very few manuscripts manufactured (hand made) in late medieval times (some right up until the invention of the printing press in Western Europe in the 15th century!).
And the vast majority of differences among the New Testament’s 8,000 manuscripts are merely spelling and vocabulary choices (some of them mistakes, some deliberate, only a handful of them really impacting or altering the meaning of a sentence). Even in the age of computers, various printings of a text may vary in substantially these same ways.
Finally, although the King James translators did rely heavily on previous translations of the Bible into English for their wording, these were meticulously checked against manuscripts in the original Greek (for the New Testament) and the original Hebrew and Aramaic (for the Old Testament), using a continuously and carefully maintained manuscript (hand-copying) tradition going back to at least the third century CE (and the Old Testament Hebrew/Aramaic manuscripts they used were maintained mainly in the context of Jewish, not Christian, transmission).
Consequently, the last two paragraphs of this meme are simply utter nonsense.

Planning permission or developmental approval refers to the approval needed for construction or expansion (including significant renovation) in some jurisdictions. It is usually given in the form of a building permit (or construction permit).
In general, various approaches to consulting can be thought of as lying somewhere along a continuum, with an ‘expert’ or prescriptive approach at one end, and a facilitative approach at the other. In the expert approach, the consultant takes the role of expert.
Management consulting refers generally to the provision of business services.
Management consulting is the practice of helping organizations to improve their performance, operating primarily through the analysis of existing organizational problems and the development of plans for improvement. Organizations may draw upon the services of management consultants for a number of reasons, including gaining external (and presumably objective) advice and access to the consultants’ specialized expertise. Consultants have specialised skills on tasks that would involve high internal coordination costs for clients, such as organization-wide changes or the implementation of information technology. In addition, because of economies of scale, their focus and experience in gathering information worldwide and across industries renders their information search less costly than for clients.
As a result of their exposure to, and relationships with numerous organizations, consulting firms are typically aware of industry “best practices.” However, the specific nature of situations under consideration may limit the ability to transfer such practices from one organization to another.
Consultancies may also provide organizational change management assistance, development of coaching skills, process analysis, technology implementation, strategy development, or operational improvement services. Management consultants often bring their own proprietary methodologies or frameworks to guide the identification of problems, and to serve as the basis for recommendations for more effective or efficient ways of performing work tasks. The premier global qualification for a management consulting practitioner is Certified Management Consultant or CMC.
In general, various approaches to consulting can be thought of as lying somewhere along a continuum, with an ‘expert’ or prescriptive approach at one end, and a facilitative approach at the other. In the expert approach, the consultant takes the role of expert, and provides expert advice or assistance to the client, with, compared to the facilitative approach, less input from, and fewer collaborations with the client(s).
In the UK, the use of external management consultants within government has sometimes been contentious due to perceptions of variable value for money. From 1997 to 2006, for instance, the UK government reportedly spent £20 billion on management consultants, raising questions in the House of Commons as to the returns upon such investment.
The UK has also experimented with providing longer-term use of management consultancy techniques provided internally, particularly to the high-demand consultancy arenas of local government and the National Health Service; the Local Government Association’s Improvement and Development Agency and the public health National Support Teams; both generated positive feedback at cost levels considered a fraction of what external commercial consultancy input would have incurred.
In New Zealand the government has historically had a greater role in providing some infrastructure and services than in some other countries. Contributing reasons included insufficient scale in the private sector, smaller capital markets and historic political support for government service provision. Current infrastructure investment plans are open to a range of public/private partnerships.
New Zealand governments hire in expertise to complement the advice of professional public servants. While management consultants contribute to policy and to strategy development, the Government tends to use management consultants for strategic review and for strategy execution.
In 1988, the newly elected Greiner State Government commissioned a report into the State Rail Authority by Booz Allen Hamilton.
The resulting report recommended up to 8,000 job losses, including the withdrawal of staff from 94 country railway stations, withdrawing services on the Nyngan- Bourke line, Queanbeyan – Cooma line and Glen Innes- Wallangarra line, the discontinuation of several country passenger services (the Canberra XPT, the Silver City Comet to Broken Hill and various diesel locomotive hauled services) and the removal of sleeper trains from services to Brisbane and Melbourne.
The report also recommended the removal of all country passenger services and small freight operations, but the government did not consider this to be politically feasible. The SRA was divided into business units – CityRail, responsible for urban railways; CountryLink, responsible for country passenger services; FreightRail, responsible for freight services; and Rail Estate, responsible for rail property.
Business analytics (BA) refers to the skills, technologies, practices for continuous iterative exploration and investigation of past business performance to gain insight and drive business planning. Business analytics focuses on developing new insights and understanding of business performance based on data and statistical methods.

Colleges are Failing, and Yours Could be Next
By: WellSelf Team
Colleges are struggling to keep their doors open. The financial status of many higher education institutions is poor at best and completely devastated in too many cases. As enrollment is dwindling and college age Americans are turning to other avenues to pursue the American dream, colleges are struggling to stay afloat, and many simply cannot do so at all.
Colleges have been plagued with a variety of issues for many years, but the pandemic only caused all of these problems to rise to the surface and for potential enrollees to seriously consider other options. The result is that we’ve seen a drop of one million enrollees in 2022, compared to prior to the COVID pandemic.
Students and their parents have been burned to the financial strain and the poor ROI. Students paying through federal loans find themselves strapped to these payments for decades to come, with little to no chance of extricating themselves, even in the case of filing bankruptcy. Federal loans are unaffected by the most critical of financial straits of the individual.
This kind of risk might be well worth it if graduates were then able to go on to the kinds of jobs and the kind of salary they desire within their field of study, but this is so often not the case at all. Many graduates find that they are unable to get any kind of job within their field and they aren’t making the money they thought they’d make, nor working in the career they went to college for in the first place. All of this leaves a bitter taste and a bitter reality for the graduate and their parents/benefactors.
These and other issues have caused the quick and significant decline in college enrollment, and many colleges are faced with closing their doors for good.
Students who find themselves faced with school closure, or who see the potential for this in their schools, would be wise to seek legal advice. Some federal loans may be forgiven in this case, and some credits can be transferred, but the complexity of the process may lead to students not getting what they need unless guided by someone who is familiar with the legal issues in this circumstance.

Step 1: Roofs With Multiple Layers Of Shingles Are More Prone To Nail Pops Use The Correct Size And Type Of Nail When Nailing Down Shingles Use A Hammer With A Rubber Mallet To Reduce The Chances Of Damaging The Shingles Drive Nails At An Angle Into The Roof Sheathing To Increase Their Holding Power
If you have a roof with multiple layers of shingles, it is more prone to nail pops. To help reduce the chances of this happening, use the correct size and type of nail when nailing down the shingles. Drive nails at an angle into the roof sheathing to increase their holding power.
Can Wind Cause Nail Pops?
The wind can put pressure on your home, causing the nails to loosen and pop out of the wood.
How Do You Seal Nail Pops On A Roof?
To seal nail pops on a roof, you can use roofing cement or caulk.
What Causes Roof Nail Pops?
There are a few things that can cause roof nail pops, but the most common is when the nails loosen and work their way out of the roofing material. This can happen over time due to weathering, or it can be caused by an impact, such as from a falling tree limb.
What Causes Roofing Nail Pops?
The most common cause of roofing nail pops is inadequate nailing. If the nails are not driven in far enough or at the right angle, they can pop up over time. Another common cause is thermal expansion and contraction of the roofing materials, which can loosen the nails and cause them to pop up.
Taking Everything Into Account
If you are experiencing roof nail pops, it is important to determine the cause and take corrective action. Nail pops can be caused by a number of factors, such as nails that are too short, over-driving nails, or using the wrong type of nail. If the nails are too short, they may not be able to hold the shingles in place and could pop up. If the nails are over-driven, they may push through the shingles and create a hole. If the nails are the wrong type of nail, they may not be strong enough to hold the shingles in place. In order to fix roof nail pops, you will need to take corrective action based on the cause. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4291 | {"url": "https://welovehousesitting.com/how-to-fix-roof-nail-pops/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "welovehousesitting.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:36:21Z", "digest": "sha1:3I24NHDUSHNDQ5FQOTISVE3HECRK36KM"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3066, 3066.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3066, 3977.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3066, 17.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3066, 57.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3066, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3066, 322.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3066, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3066, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3066, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3066, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3066, 0.40451128]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3066, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3066, 0.1013289]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3066, 0.30066445]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3066, 0.21303987]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3066, 0.12956811]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3066, 0.12956811]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3066, 0.1013289]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3066, 0.05647841]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3066, 0.03986711]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3066, 0.02699336]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3066, 0.00451128]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3066, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3066, 0.10225564]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3066, 0.31879195]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3066, 4.04026846]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3066, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3066, 4.59583302]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3066, 596.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 349, 1.0], [349, 379, 0.0], [379, 703, 1.0], [703, 1001, 1.0], [1001, 1302, 0.0], [1302, 1583, 1.0], [1583, 1609, 1.0], [1609, 1702, 1.0], [1702, 1739, 1.0], [1739, 1805, 1.0], [1805, 1833, 1.0], [1833, 2093, 1.0], [2093, 2124, 1.0], [2124, 2419, 1.0], [2419, 2450, 0.0], [2450, 3066, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 349, 0.0], [349, 379, 0.0], [379, 703, 0.0], [703, 1001, 0.0], [1001, 1302, 0.0], [1302, 1583, 0.0], [1583, 1609, 0.0], [1609, 1702, 0.0], [1702, 1739, 0.0], [1739, 1805, 0.0], [1805, 1833, 0.0], [1833, 2093, 0.0], [2093, 2124, 0.0], [2124, 2419, 0.0], [2419, 2450, 0.0], [2450, 3066, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 26, 6.0], [26, 349, 68.0], [349, 379, 7.0], [379, 703, 64.0], [703, 1001, 58.0], [1001, 1302, 55.0], [1302, 1583, 52.0], [1583, 1609, 5.0], [1609, 1702, 19.0], [1702, 1739, 9.0], [1739, 1805, 14.0], [1805, 1833, 5.0], [1833, 2093, 52.0], [2093, 2124, 5.0], [2124, 2419, 54.0], [2419, 2450, 4.0], [2450, 3066, 119.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 349, 0.0], [349, 379, 0.03448276], [379, 703, 0.00319489], [703, 1001, 0.0], [1001, 1302, 0.00334448], [1302, 1583, 0.0], [1583, 1609, 0.0], [1609, 1702, 0.0], [1702, 1739, 0.0], [1739, 1805, 0.0], [1805, 1833, 0.0], [1833, 2093, 0.0], [2093, 2124, 0.0], [2124, 2419, 0.0], [2419, 2450, 0.0], [2450, 3066, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 26, 0.0], [26, 349, 0.0], [349, 379, 0.0], [379, 703, 0.0], [703, 1001, 0.0], [1001, 1302, 0.0], [1302, 1583, 0.0], [1583, 1609, 0.0], [1609, 1702, 0.0], [1702, 1739, 0.0], [1739, 1805, 0.0], [1805, 1833, 0.0], [1833, 2093, 0.0], [2093, 2124, 0.0], [2124, 2419, 0.0], [2419, 2450, 0.0], [2450, 3066, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 26, 0.23076923], [26, 349, 0.0123839], [349, 379, 0.16666667], [379, 703, 0.0154321], [703, 1001, 0.01006711], [1001, 1302, 0.17940199], [1302, 1583, 0.01067616], [1583, 1609, 0.19230769], [1609, 1702, 0.01075269], [1702, 1739, 0.24324324], [1739, 1805, 0.01515152], [1805, 1833, 0.17857143], [1833, 2093, 0.00769231], [2093, 2124, 0.16129032], [2124, 2419, 0.01016949], [2419, 2450, 0.12903226], [2450, 3066, 0.00974026]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3066, 0.08545548]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3066, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3066, 0.13301194]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3066, -114.11869263]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3066, 6.09664888]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3066, -132.1150817]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3066, 32.0]]} |

Week in Review: April 5 – April 10
The Vice President started the week with engagements in Oakland, California. It was the first time she has visited her hometown since becoming Vice President.
Ms. Harris spent the weekend in California ahead of the Oakland trip. More from The Los Angeles Times:
Harris’ visit, after two private trips to California since becoming vice president, coincided with an Easter weekend stop at her home in Brentwood, where she baked a “beautiful” pork roast and made rice and peas, she said. In Washington, she is in the process of moving into the vice president’s official residence, which has been undergoing renovations, after spending her first few months in the government’s Blair House, across from the White House.
The Vice President visited Red Door Catering , a woman-owned business founded by Reign Free, seen below left. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4294 | {"url": "https://whatkamalawore.com/tag/kamala-harris-dolce-gabbana-prince-of-wales-check/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "whatkamalawore.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:32:20Z", "digest": "sha1:VRUVXW57MND3IHSQWCCFVSUTF6LZYL2W"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 890, 890.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 890, 2566.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 890, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 890, 55.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 890, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 890, 219.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 890, 0.33898305]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 890, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 890, 0.07212205]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 890, 0.0443828]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 890, 0.07212205]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 890, 0.18079096]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 890, 0.66666667]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 890, 4.9047619]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 890, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 890, 4.36056675]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 890, 147.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 66, 0.0], [66, 225, 1.0], [225, 328, 0.0], [328, 781, 1.0], [781, 890, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 66, 0.0], [66, 225, 0.0], [225, 328, 0.0], [328, 781, 0.0], [781, 890, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 31, 6.0], [31, 66, 8.0], [66, 225, 25.0], [225, 328, 18.0], [328, 781, 73.0], [781, 890, 17.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.20689655], [31, 66, 0.09090909], [66, 225, 0.0], [225, 328, 0.0], [328, 781, 0.0], [781, 890, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 31, 0.0], [31, 66, 0.0], [66, 225, 0.0], [225, 328, 0.0], [328, 781, 0.0], [781, 890, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 31, 0.09677419], [31, 66, 0.11428571], [66, 225, 0.05031447], [225, 328, 0.08737864], [328, 781, 0.02207506], [781, 890, 0.0733945]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 890, 0.18567163]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 890, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 890, 0.11051494]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 890, -37.49023893]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 890, 25.55566848]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 890, 11.36042087]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 890, 7.0]]} |

Harper’s Chelsea is open to the public from 10am to 6pm Tuesday through Saturday.
…for the woman there is, from the start, a conflict between her autonomous existence and her “being other”; she is taught that to please, she must try to please, must make herself object; she must therefore renounce her autonomy. She is treated like a living doll, and freedom is denied to her…
...she has to be “pretty as a picture;” she tries to resemble an image, she disguises herself...
— Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex
In her sculptural work and paintings, Wilde brings perspective to the way identities are formed from the consumption of imagery and visual cues, particularly for women, whose existence is considered in relation to the “other.” In order to claim agency, a woman must harness the faculties of beauty, intelligence, or wealth to exert power, often by way of carefully crafting her appearance—a paradoxical dilemma, as the outward expressions of women at any stage may be fetishized and objectified by the male gaze.
By repurposing the technical skills acquired throughout her career as a milliner, Wilde’s sculptural works provoke dialogue on the theatricality of gender. Each sculpture exists as parts of the wardrobe for the role of “woman.” The sculptures Venus of Goodman and Madame Tataz (Green) combine to become a costume for a seductress in the painting Mrs. Tataz Goodman, while Dress Up Shoes and Bobby Socks pairs with Kid Sister as a costume for a young girl who has just begun associating with the tropes of “woman.” In Kid Sister Dreaming, she can be seen observing a component of Ideal Kinkster, another such costume that will tether her sense of self to the various disguises she must don to become “pretty as a picture.”
Wilde’s characters, cobbled together from various sculptural components, parasitically consume their host and expose a vulnerability in their hypersexualized or infantilized forms. Wilde immerses the viewer in a world where the expectation to perform as a woman crosses into absurdity and dysfunction. The figures are faceless, with the exception of implied features and lips that often appear in the place of areolas or eyes, and their hands are tasseled sex toys or pinwheels and lollipops. In this world, a woman’s disguise is indistinguishable from herself, and her autonomy is lost in the fantasy of the role.
Venus Su Misura draws its name from a playful combination: Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty; and su misura, an Italian phrase meaning “tailor-made.” Venus Su Misura also refers to both a sculpture and a painting in Wilde’s debut exhibition with the gallery. The painting is based on Titian’s Venus of Urbino, housed at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where Wilde lived and studied during her undergraduate years. Wilde’s Venus rests on a tasseled pink arm that exists also as a freestanding sculpture titled Kink Attachment. In the background, her public persona—an iteration of Dowry Daisy—awaits atop a female dress form. She is alone and in repose, yet she remains an amalgamation of her various costumes as if to say that even in solitude, her identity is entirely tailor-made.

Rosa Lee Bowen Abram
Mother Rosa Lee Bowen Abram transitioned early March 2, 2023, from her home in Dalzell to her heavenly abode. She is the daughter of the late Thomas and Fannie Bowen. She was born April 11, 1932, and attended Sumter County Schools in the Stateburg Area. She made Christ her savior, at a young age, while attending Wayman Chapel AME church. In 1951, Rosa lived with Thomas and Ida Alston, (now with the Lord) her brother and sister- in -law because her parents had passed years before. It was in that year that she and Albert Abram Sr. were united in marriage and moved to Wedgefield in Sumter County. In 1957, they moved to Dalzell where they attended Ebenezer United Presbyterian Church. (Later renamed Ebenezer Presbyterian Church USA.) Rosa established herself as a devoted Christian woman and a home maker. She, initially, worked at local farms and as a domestic at Shaw AFB. She retired after working many years in food service for Sumter County District Two Schools. She planted a yearly garden and raised a variety of vegetables which were shared with family, friends, and neighbors. She was a self-taught seamstress who learned to sew on a pedal sewing machine. She bought an electric Singer sewing machine in the mid- 1960’s. She gained insight on construction and fabric detailing by examining the clothes in the different stores of downtown Sumter. As a result of her displayed skill as a seamstress, she sewed and altered many clothing items for family members and friends in the community, where the only charge was the cost of the material. Ever learning, she received her High School Diploma from Ebenezer Adult Education Program in 1969. In 1973, Albert passed away. She was left to raise four minor children. Rosa then learned to drive and bought a car. With the help of the Almighty, she hired Mr. Sumpter, a local contractor to build her a house. Many hands went into this project, including her brother, Thomas, and nephews, Edward Alston and the late Louis Alston. Thomas even brought some of the Croom family, his in-laws, who helped. Her service to God and devotion to her church family never wavered. She taught Sunday School for more than 30 years, first children and then adult women. She was a Senior choir member, and a selected and installed deacon. Though driving was not a pleasure for her, she would take elderly church members or friends to church, or to the grocery stores, to civic meetings, or downtown to handle business matters. At the coaxing of her children, she took her first airplane flight to Texas in 2001 to witness her youngest son receive a degree. So, flying to Illinois in 2003 for another graduation was easy. She worked tirelessly in all facets: at church, in her garden, at her sewing machine making quilts and comforters (just ask her grands about their bed covering). Time brought health changes that made a difference in what she was able to do. She is remembered as the private, soft-spoken matriarch whose actions spoke for her. Her grandchildren, especially, remember the times of eating at her table, having some of her pound cake, and listening to one of her memories of past events. Her counsel and stories will be greatly missed. She was preceded in death by her parents, four brothers, and five sisters. Among those who will never forget her are four sons, Albert Jr. (Betty) and James, all of Dalzell, Willie, of Havre de Grace, Maryland, and Lyndon (Annette) of Charlotte, North Carolina; two daughters, Betty Murray of Chesapeake, Virginia, and Denise Mitchell of Sumter; one brother-in-law, Aaron Abram of New York, New York, and one sister-in-law Ella Bradford (Napoleon) of Clover, South Carolina; fifteen grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. In accordance with the COVID-19 guidelines, the family is requesting that face masks and social distancing be observed by relatives and friends during visitations at the home, 4290 Queen Chapel Road, Dalzell. Funeral services will be held 1:00 p. m., Friday, March 10, 2023 at Ebenezer Presbyterian Church (U. S. A.), 4620 Queen Chapel Road, Dalzell, with the Rev. Carnell Hampton, Moderator. The Remains will be placed in the church at 12:00 noon for viewing until time of services. The procession will leave the home at 12:30 p. m. Burial will be in the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Dalzell. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/4297 | {"url": "https://williamsfuneralhomeinc.com/obituries/2085", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "williamsfuneralhomeinc.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:24:55Z", "digest": "sha1:CL5IEXONBV6S2JXV5ASWLG4AZM4OZGIA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4384, 4384.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4384, 5844.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4384, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4384, 60.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4384, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4384, 232.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4384, 0.34149055]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4384, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4384, 0.01030043]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4384, 0.0223176]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4384, 0.00972818]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4384, 0.00778643]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4384, 0.19354839]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4384, 0.52108844]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4384, 4.75510204]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4384, 5.35313107]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4384, 735.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 4384, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 21, 4.0], [21, 4384, 731.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 4384, 0.0161597]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 4384, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.19047619], [21, 4384, 0.04194362]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4384, 0.25310761]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4384, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4384, 0.68053949]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4384, 1.76057943]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4384, 17.91580527]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4384, 90.48781857]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4384, 51.0]]} |

CANCELLED CULTURE
Posted on January 17, 2022 by victorialucas38
I stumbled upon an interview on the ‘New Culture Forum’ YT channel the other day – a regular shop window for the kind of voices the MSM has silenced and always an interesting watch; this particular interview was with Nigel Rees, creator and host of Radio 4’s long-running (and now defunct) show, ‘Quote…Unquote’. He spoke at length of the way in which the BBC’s ‘diversity’ agenda had effectively made his position and that of the programme pretty untenable. Demands to have more female guests on the show were gradually adhered to, as were demands to have guests of a more ‘ethnic’ nature; but, of course, this wasn’t enough; there had to be some token disabled guests on – and this is radio, remember, so presumably these had to be disabilities that were discernible in the guest’s voices; that’d rule out someone in a wheelchair, then – unless they had a particularly ‘disabled’ speech pattern. Yes, that’s how bloody ridiculous it is.
In a nutshell, this enlightening interview summed-up the futility of attempting to appease the demands of the SJW crowd and why Woke Utopia can never be achieved. If ‘Quote…Unquote’ reappeared with a panel consisting entirely of disabled black trans-women, it still wouldn’t be enough because whatever compromises one makes can never be enough; someone would still complain to the BBC that there were no panellists in iron lungs, thus causing offence to the iron lung community. If the BBC had any balls remaining, it wouldn’t bow to such demands at all and it would leave producers and presenters to make their own decisions based on the respective merits of the people featuring in their programmes. The problem with the BBC is that, as with so many branches of this country’s institutions, it has been completely colonised by Identity Politics, and Identity Politics is a virus that kills all creativity and genuine diversity of thought and opinion.
The world its proponents inhabit it is a drab, grey, joyless place in need of constant, perpetual cleansing – a world it is their aim to impose upon the rest of us; and by handing the reins of power to such pious fanatics, whether in media, publishing, academia or cinema, all these mediums have been fatally infected and no longer communicate with the masses. Every successful movie franchise has been f***ed-up as a consequence – indeed, every escapist outlet has suffered from this virus, even sport with its knee-taking virtue-signallers whose fatuous concept of social justice doesn’t stretch to spurning the lucrative market of middle-eastern Absolute Monarchies built by slave labour. The BBC has been one of the most vocal supporters of this mindset, a virtual broadcasting branch of the Guardian over the past decade or so; and when a Tory Government seeks to shore up its dwindling popularity by attacking a soft target and hopefully deflecting further attention from its own failings, should the BBC really be surprised that the only folk rallying to its defence are those drawing huge salaries from it?
The likes of Gary Lineker or Nish Kumar speaking up for it as the licence fee’s days are numbered are not the kind of names guaranteed to reverse opinion on a once-beloved institution that has been treating its audience with contempt for years. The corporation’s impartiality on news and current affairs has been exposed as a fallacy during the pandemic, whilst its entertainment has degenerated into similarly biased propaganda for a particular point of view, visible in the risible Jodie Whitaker incarnation of ‘Doctor Who’ or the way in which a one-time staple diet of a dad’s Saturday lunchtime like ‘Football Focus’ will be routinely interrupted by trailers for ‘LGBTXYZ Month’, a subject most football fans probably don’t give a flying f*** about. But the BBC is determined to shoehorn Identity Politics into every platform it possesses, whether the audience wants it or not.
It is this arrogance that has turned the Great British public against the BBC in recent years, and the BBC only has itself to blame. On paper, the cost of the licence fee is good value compared to yer average utility bill, yet bringing up all the things the BBC used to excel at as examples of why it still matters and why its eccentric funding should continue only serves as a reminder of just how much it has declined during the period in which it has sought to broadcast its Woke agenda to a public that didn’t ask for it and doesn’t want it. With Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries announcing the licence fee will effectively be abolished come the next renewal of the BBC’s Royal Charter in 2027, the BBC has responded with threats of cuts, though chances are this means the few good things it still produces that no commercial competitor could do in quite the same way – such as Radio 3, the World Service or BBC4 – will suffer; what it doesn’t mean is that it will address the way in which its ludicrous diversity quota has made its dramas such a box-ticking laughing stock or every documentary an exercise in apology for historical racism/sexism, whether it was there or not.
Any exposure to commercial television or radio stations and their relentless interruptions by ads is enough to cause anyone to run back into the arms of the BBC, and the fact its airwaves remain unpolluted by crass advertising is one of its few saving graces after all the damage it has done to itself. The end of the licence fee and the prospect of alternative funding throws up all kinds of horrific futures, yet none of this would’ve been necessary had the BBC not allowed specific political agendas to infiltrate so much of its output. Yes, it was present – and was regularly cited by its opponents – way back in the days of ‘Play for Today’, but even the archetypal single play centred around left-wing viewpoints was only a small element of a series that had a far wider panorama of the human experience on offer; and the BBC produced ‘Play for Today’ at the same time as it was churning out variety showcases for the likes of those well-known Commie sympathisers Bruce Forsyth, Cilla Black and Noel Edmonds. Even the fact that the ‘Today’ programme could once be edited by someone like Rod Liddle now seems inconceivable, yet we’re going back barely 20 years. That in itself highlights what a broad church the Beeb used to be until relatively recently.
For the majority of its now-century of existence, the BBC was indeed an idiosyncratic and unique oddity in the world of broadcasting, beloved by the British people and celebrated as a force for cultural good. Even when BBC radio had a monopoly, it served listeners well with a staggeringly wide selection of audio delights; Beatles biographer Mark Lewisohn makes a valid point when he credits the vast range of sounds the young John, Paul, George and Ringo were exposed to via BBC radio as playing a pivotal part in their later development as artists who refused to be tied to a single genre of music. And if the 1950s was BBC radio’s ‘golden age’, the 60s and 70s showed how BBC television was able to successfully react to the arrival of ITV by delivering programmes that remain the corporation’s gold standard, a standard it has summarily failed to live up to over the past couple of decades.
Anyone whose formative years were illuminated and enlivened by the best of the BBC will naturally experience mixed emotions when it comes under attack from opportunistic philistines like this deplorable administration running the country; yet, at the same time, anyone who has despaired at the manner in which the Beeb has committed Hara-kiri over and over again in the last 10-20 years will understandably feel the corporation has got what it deserved. This was the sadly inevitable outcome of the way the BBC has alienated the core audience it arrogantly assumed it could always depend upon; and even if the concept of the BBC is still a noble ideal, the reality falls far short. That’s not the fault of yet another loathsome Tory Government with the BBC in its sights, but the BBC itself. Bloody fools.

DO THE DOWNING ST SHUFFLE
Posted on September 16, 2021 by victorialucas38
It’s an interesting dilemma few outside of politics are ever confronted by – you’re sacked, fired from your job, your very important job, a job that came with a great deal of prestige; and yet your redundancy package doesn’t contain a P45 form, but a nice booby prize of three new high-profile jobs you’ll be doing simultaneously. That’s what happened to Alpha Plank Dominic Raab yesterday. Okay, so he’s no longer Foreign Secretary, but he’s now the Lord Chancellor, the Justice Secretary, and the Deputy Prime Minister. Welcome to the strange world of political dismissal, where a demotion is hardly akin to relegation from the Premier League to League Two or a fast-track to the nearest food bank. Yeah, okay – the Cabinet’s very own Chuck Norris no longer holds one of the four Great Offices of State; but stubbornly refusing to whip off the knotted hanky from your head at a moment of international crisis centred on a disintegrating nation thousands of your fellow countrymen sacrificed their lives to democratise doesn’t exactly embody commitment to the post. As Foreign Secretaries go, Raab may have approached the job by following in the proud traditions of Boris himself, but how much has Dominic Raab really lost?
I guess the tired old analogy of rearranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic has probably already been exhumed to describe the PM’s Cabinet reshuffle, so I won’t recycle it again; but in truth, I can’t really see many of those promoted being quite as bad as those they replaced. Raab was a useless Foreign Secretary as Gavin Williamson was a useless Education Secretary and Robert Buckland a useless Justice Secretary. Nadhim Zahawi’s U-turn on the topic of vaccine passports may have been rightly highlighted of late via the resurrection of his past refuting of their introduction on social media, but many perceive his handling of the vaccine rollout as a relative success; his promotion to Education Secretary, heading a department that arguably failed to tackle the ramifications of lockdown more than any other in government, can only be viewed as an improvement. Ironically, considering the subject of the previous post on here, Michael Gove has indeed lost his job as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, albeit not for something nasty he said as a Tory Boy in the early 90s; besides, becoming the new Housing Secretary doesn’t mean he’ll be signing-on in the near future.
Much will probably be made of Liz Truss replacing Raab, no doubt; only the second woman to be elevated to the post – after Margaret Beckett’s brief stint during Tony Blair’s last year in Downing Street – Truss has often played upon her non-privileged roots ala Sajid Javid. But her roots are only non-privileged in comparison to many of the men surrounding her in government. I remember once reading a Fleet St profile of Truss pointing out she attended a comprehensive school in Leeds as though she’d been running around cobbled streets minus shoes on her feet; the school was in Roundhay, which for those who don’t know is a tad closer to Hampstead than Hackney. Nevertheless, hers is an interesting back-story in that she emanated from middle-class intellectual Socialist stock ala Ed Miliband, and even if she chose the wrong party from her parents’ perspective, Truss occupies a position in that party which appeals to many Red Wall voters disillusioned with Labour; her publicised criticism of Identity Politics certainly struck a chord with those alienated by the opposition’s vigorous embrace of it.
The most recognisable female face around the Cabinet table after Liz Truss will be Nadine Dorries, a Ministerial virgin; the novelist and former contestant on ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’ is now Secretary of State for that mixed bag of miscellany known as Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. To me, it always sounds like a department that those without hardcore political ambitions would probably enjoy being handed, the antithesis of the surrogate Siberia that the Northern Ireland job represented on ‘Yes, Minister’. But, in the same way the progression of Liz Truss from Secretary of State for International Trade to Foreign Secretary feels a logical one, appointing someone with ‘broadcasting experience’ and a fairly successful sideline career as an author to Digital, Culture, Media & Sport seems pretty sensible promotion. Like Truss, Nadine Dorries can also serve as a counterbalance to the privately-educated majority in the Cabinet, and she even has a ‘Working-Class Tory’ story to fall back on, being a born-and-bred council estate Scouser. Both women’s promotions appear a shrewd move on the part of the PM.
Overall, this reshuffle appears to have been relatively well-received after what has been another difficult couple of weeks for Boris. Not only has he suffered the death of his mother, but the most recent YouGov poll concerning voting intentions saw Labour overtake the Tories for the first time since the beginning of the year – 35% to 33%; this came in the wake of the tax increases via National Insurance contributions being announced, supposedly to be invested in social care and the NHS. Why anyone imagined taxes wouldn’t be raised at some point soon after well over a year of the ‘magic money tree’ furlough scheme is a mystery, but no governing party with a reputation for low taxation was going to be able to dig its way out of this one. Sure, there were the usual backbench grumblings, but the Government won the vote to approve the move fairly painlessly. Therefore, the timing of the reshuffle was convenient in terms of taking attention away from an unpopular (if inevitable) manifesto-breaker, but it also has the feel of assembling a fresh team with one eye on the next General Election, which many reckon will only be a couple of years away. However, there’s always the argument that Cabinet reshuffles are little more than superficial short-term fixes, a temporary shot of Botox rather than a full-on facelift.
In an increasingly-rare appearance on GB News – the station he has now officially walked away from as its main anchor – Andrew Neil yesterday made the point that reshuffles are often detrimental to government in that Ministers routinely fail to achieve anything in their jobs because they’re not given enough time to turn around the fortunes of their departments. Perhaps only football managers are expected to perform miracles in a shorter time span than someone bussed into a Ministerial post that has been failing to deliver under its previous stewardship. It’s a valid point, but so much of politics today is dependent on instant results, and if the same tired old faces don’t appear to be doing the business after several years in office the electorate associates them and the administration as a whole with failure; bringing in fresh faces may well be applying a plaster to a wound in need of surgery, but change tends to generate the impression of improvement overnight; and if the new face fails as well, just bring in another.
If Boris Johnson’s first phase at No.10 was defined by Brexit and the Parliamentary turmoil that accompanied its final stages in 2019, the second has undoubtedly been defined by Covid; with both Brexit and the pandemic having claimed the lion’s share of attention at the expense of other pressing issues over the past couple of years, it could be said this is the moment at which Boris is preparing for both the ‘post-war’ era and the next opportunity to give the country a say. Right now, I don’t think even a crystal ball is capable of showing where we’ll be in 2023 or ’24, so it’s impossible to predict if this reshuffle will play its part in deciding whether or not the Tories will be in a fit enough state to pull it off yet again. I suspect a great deal will remain dependent upon the condition of the Opposition as much as anything else. And that’s another piece of challenging guesswork that will make the brain hurt.

Lloyd among newcomers for U.S. women's pro volleyball league
- Mar. 15, 2022 10:58 AM EDT
DALLAS (AP) — Volleyball players Carli Lloyd and Alisha Glass Childress, who helped the U.S. women win bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics, are among the newcomers for the second year of a pro volleyball team in their home country.
Athletes Unlimited is returning to Dallas and will have fans at Fair Park Coliseum for the first time for a unique indoor league that rewards individual stats over team results. The five-week season starts Wednesday.
Players form new teams every week, and standings are compiled based on individual performances.
Bethania De La Cruz of the Dominican Republic is the highest-scoring finisher from last year to return. She was runner-up to Jordan Larson, who helped the Americans beat Brazil for their first Olympic gold in the delayed Tokyo Games last year.
Other returning Americans who finished in the top 30 last year include Karsta Lowe (fifth), Lindsay Stalzer (12th), Taylor Sandbothe (21st) and Erica Wilson (29th).
Childress had a recent stint on the coaching staff at Stanford. She won three consecutive national championships with Penn State from 2007-09. Lloyd was the 2015 Pan Am Games MVP.
Another newcomer is China's Yizhi Xue, who has played professionally in her home country after competing at Long Beach State. Kalei Mau, who is from Hawaii and played at Arizona, is on Philippine's national team.
Fans weren't allowed last year because of the pandemic but they can attend at Fair Park Coliseum, just east of downtown Dallas.
Fox's FS2 will air 12 matches. The CBS Sports Network and Bally Sports regional networks also will televise some matches.
