Getting to the camp in the Bridger-Teton National Forest was a travail. We flew into Jackson Hole, WY, and drove our rental car several hundred miles south on US 189 to the tiny town of Big Piney. Then we drove west on WY 350, Middle Piney Road, into the Wyoming Range, towards Wyoming Peak and Mount Darby. Chuck's company was named for one of these geographical features, being Darby Mountain Outfitters, located on South Piney Creek near Darby Creek, which tumbled off of Mount Darby. The route was many dozens of miles west of town, on ever smaller and muddier roads. By the time we got within five miles of camp the road was a deeply rutted, twisted, muddy quagmire, hardly passable by our car. When we got to camp we saw that all the other vehicles were four wheel drive pickup trucks with shovels in the back.
All of Chuck's crew were nice guys, mostly his friends and relatives. Chuck is especially warm, informative, calm and self assured. He knew the area like the back of his hand. The meals were cooked by his brother and were fresh, hot, homemade and filling. Breakfast and supper were in the mess tent, while lunch was packed in paper sacks. Breakfast was usually a multi-course meal of scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, pancakes and coffee or milk. For some reason, all the lunches included plastic cups of pudding. And the wranglers loved the pudding. They would eat the contents with a spoon, then use a knife to cut open the cup and spread it out like flower petals, and lick off every trace of pudding. The wranglers were also tough and inured to the cold. Despite daily morning temperatures of about 15 degrees F, none of them wore long underwear, heavy coats or toboggans. They just wore the standard issue cowboy boots, blue jeans, wool or flannel shirt, leather vest, jeans jacket, leather gloves and cowboy hat. I suspected that riding on top of a hot horse all day helped them keep warm.
There were about a half dozen other guests hunters besides Bill and me. Most of them appreciated the wrangler's duties that included entering our canvas bunk tents each morning before dawn, while we were still in our sleeping bags, and starting a fire in the wood stove with oil soaked sawdust and firewood. I am cold natured and especially liked the fires to get the air above freezing. But Bill was so hot natured that rascal told our wrangler to stop making the fire! Bill said he got hot enough putting on his winter hunting clothes that he would be sweating in the tent.
Most days we would start by glassing (viewing through binoculars) the mountains around camp, looking for elk. Some days we would see them walking and feeding across open meadows far above us and miles away. The guides would then meet with their guests and plan their day's stalk. We would saddle up and head west on the Wyoming Range Trail, to the South Fork or Middle Fork South Piney Creek Trails. When they got on an elk, the guests would draw straws for who got to hunt and shoot first. After that, then the other hunters in the party would get a shot. By the end of the week there were several elk hanging from the meat pole. For some reason, Bill always had Booth luck. He never got the short straw, and he never got a shot. Bill is woods savvy enough that he believes if he was turned loose alone with a rifle and a horse, but without a guide, he could have gotten an elk.
Most evenings we rode back to camp about dusk. But a couple days we stayed in the wilderness until way past dark. About 9 p.m. we headed back to camp. The route lead along dozens of miles of creeks, steep hillsides, drop-offs and stream crossings, sometimes above tree line and through thick woods. In the pitch dark all we could see was occasional stars and sparks from the horses' metal shoed hooves striking rocks. Sometimes, the horses would walk under invisible low branches and brush the rider off the horse. Other times some of us got sea sick from not being able to see where we were going, and we would have to get off and walk beside the horses. The horses could somehow see in the dark, and they knew the way back to the corral. If we gave them their head (not try to guide them with the reins) then they always stayed on the trail. The cook would always be waiting with steaming plates of meat loaf or steaks and home fries and apple pie.
Chuck even had an outdoors, wood fired hot tub fed by gravity piped spring water. Most of the other hunters just stayed dirty. One evening, for a lark, Bill and I indulged in the ablutions. Except for while we were actually immersed in the water, it was a fairly chilly, inconvenient exercise.
On the last day, with still no elk killed, Chuck felt badly for Bill and personally guided him and me alone, the farthest any hunters went from camp, almost to the Idaho border. We had a great ride and a good time. We saw lots of bear sign, including claw marks eight feet up on trees, and golden eagles wheeling in the cold, clear air. But Bill still did not get a shot.
Early afternoon on that last day, as we passed through one of many similar drainages, Chuck pointed out a clump of trees in the middle of the wilderness and told me to remember where they are. He said our hunting strategy may include me wrangling the horses back to there while he and Bill were on foot. For the rest of the afternoon, as we rode and wandered around many hills and valleys, I struggled to keep the back track route memorized. I endlessly rehearsed in my mind the geographical features leading back to that clump of trees. Eventually, near dusk, Chuck and Bill dismounted and left me with the three horses on a ridge at our western-most point. The hunters hiked down into a long valley, and disappeared. A long time later, I saw Chuck and Bill far below, waving their arms. I had no idea what they wanted me to do. So I followed the prior instructions, gathered all the reins, and wrangled the horses for about an hour, across many hills and valleys, back to the clump of trees. Then night fell. Several hours later, I heard some voices in the dark. As the voices approached me, Bill yelled across the distance for me to turn on my flashlight and hold it over my head. I said 'Why?' He said 'So I can shoot you in the head!'
The hunters explained later that they did NOT want me to lead the horses back to the clump of trees, but simply to point towards any elk that I had seen. By my riding off with the horses, the hunters had to hike for many miles, in the dark, hoping they would find me somewhere in the wilderness. Bill said that in spite of years of brutal football practices, that was the most tired and most blistered feet he had ever suffered.
Despite the lack of success with Bill's gun, and the horse wrangling fiasco, we had a great time. We made some good friends with the cowboys. And most evenings we fished in the creeks around camp. The fish were not stocked at that high altitude, so our catches were smaller brook trout in bright fall spawning colors and cutthroats. The area was full of moose and beaver. Hiking up and downstream was hampered by willow thickets and swamps backed up behind beaver dams. Most places, as soon as you got past one dam, the next marsh from the downstream dam started. Someday soon I would like to go back to the same place and stay at one of the area National Forest campgrounds and just hike and fish.

Well, for the last 6 months I've written 5 times a week on this blog and I'm heading into a very busy summer. Tomorrow, I'm going to the desert for a spiritual retreat with 2 friends in ministry for a day of prayer and thinking in the calm before the storm.
Here's what the next 6 weeks holds for me:
ANNIVERSARY: I'll be heading away to celebrate my 17 year anniversary to my lovely bride and do a wedding for some friends in San Luis Obispo.
CAMP AND MISSIONS TRIP: a week of summer camp with our high school and college students will be then followed by a week of missions in Haiti- literally 3 hours after the first camp ends.
SUMMER CAMP FOR THE KIDS: I'll be spending a week with my kids doing summer camp for kids at Journey.
CAMPING WITH MY FAMILY: I'm heading to 5 states with my family on a big ol 2 week road trip: doing a wedding and camping in Nor Cal while water skiing with friends, camping and bonding in Yellowstone, and then camping and hiking at Zion in Utah.
So… the next time I'll pick up this blog again with any measure of regularity will be early August. Welcome to my crazy summer and to my faithful few readers… see you in the fall. Enjoy your summer. 🙂

After the U.S. presidential election, the first foreign
trip by his new Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was
to Japan. This was presumably to send a symbol to the
Japanese that the U.S. values their relationship and not
to cash in all those U.S. Treasuries that they are
holding! Then in a symbolic action within a symbolic trip,
Clinton visited with the Japanese families whose children
and relatives were abducted by the North Koreans over a
30-year period since the 1970's.
Clinton told reporters, "On a very personal and, you know,
human basis, I don't know that I'll be meeting as a
secretary of state any more than I will be meeting with
them as a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister." This was
the right thing to say in response to a situation that has
the Japanese public outraged.
But there was one segment of the population in Japan that
felt Clinton's words were more like daggers than bandages.
That segment is the foreign parents of children from
international marriages, who have had their children
kidnapped by the Japanese parent back to Japan, never to
see them again. For these people the North Korean
abductions of possibly 70 or 80 people pales into
insignificance when compared to the hundreds (yes, that's
the number the CRC-Japan people are stating) of kids
abducted to Japan.
And while there have been a handful of those North Korean
abductees returned to Japan, there has NEVER been a
successful return of a mixed nationality child to the
foreign parent through diplomacy or court action. Further,
U.S. officials say they only know of 3 cases where mutually
agreed returns have occurred. And yet many court actions
have been brought against Japanese abductors over the

This unbelievable state of affairs has started to cause
major headaches for both legal and diplomatic agencies of
Japan's allies, and the U.S. in particular appears to be
looking for ways to pressure Japan to mend its ways and to
institute the necessary legal changes needed so as to
support and enforce an eventual signing of the 1980 Hague
Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child
Abduction. Japan is the only member of the Group of Seven
not to have signed this important treaty.
The pressure ratcheted up several weeks ago when the
embassies of the U.S., Canada, Britain, and France, along
with various representatives from other nations and foreign
parents trying to get their kids back, participated in a
joint conference to discuss the issue and taking action
that will precipitate change. While similar conferences
have happened in previous years without much more than a
bout of hand-wringing, this time, the U.S. and the other
Japanese allies held a rare press conference to urge Japan
to sign the treaty. Furthermore, they provided information
on cases where foreign parents have been cut off from
their kids.
The U.S. said it has been informed of 73 abduction cases
of 104 kids with a U.S. parent but where that parent is not
resident in Japan, and another 29 cases where the U.S.
parent is here. The other allied nations reported an
additional 95 cases. As this writer can testify, these
cases are just the tip of the iceberg. Most foreign parents
give up after going through the farcical proceedings of the
Japanese Family Courts -- realizing that there is no
justice when there is no law to even enact justice in
the first place.
For, above all, we need to remember that Japan has no
concept of joint child custody and that abduction by one
parent is not a crime. The judiciary in its wisdom still
follows the feudal "Iie system" (House system) whereby it
believes that the child should belong to one house only.
Certainly, having a child undergo emotional surgery by
cutting off one of the parents is a lot cleaner than the
bickering and fighting that many western parents go through
in their shared custody divorces. But for those parents
adult enough to share their kids civilly, the law offers
only heartbreak and no compromise. Officially, of the
166,000 children involved in divorces in Japan every year,
less than 20% of them wind up with the father, and of
course in the case of foreign fathers, the number is zero.
One particularly poignant case of child abduction does not
even include the Japanese parent absconding with the
child, but rather her parents -- who were able to convince
a Japanese judge to give the child to them based on
trumped up charges, rather than return her to her foreign
The story of Paul Wong is a story that epitomizes the
problem -- that of the judiciary and their slanted views
on untrustworthy foreigners versus nice decent Japanese.
Wong was happily married in the U.S. to a Japanese women,
Akemi, and after many years of partnership, they finally
had a daughter, Kaya. Unfortunately, his wife was
diagnosed with a brain tumor before the birth in 2004 and
this got much worse following the birth. Akemi and daughter
Kaya went to stay with the grandparents in Japan one last time
before she died in 2005. Akemi on her death bed asked Wong
to leave Kaya in Japan with her parents for a while, so
that Kaya could learn something about her heritage.
Wong kept his promise, and after his wife died he made the
decision to settle down in Japan so that Kaya could
continue seeing her grandparents. He left Kaya with the
grandparents while working his lawyer job in Hong Kong and
looking for a transfer to Japan. He commuted back and forth
for a year and eventually found a position in Japan.
After returning to Japan, he found that the grandparents
wouldn't let Kaya return to him, and they eventually
claimed to the police that Wong had sexually molested Kaya
during a visit -- something which has since been disproven
after a medical exam. Wong took the case to court, and
despite evidence that contradicted the grandparents claims,
the Judge decided that "The grandparents would have no
reason to not make such claims," so he sided with them and
awarded custody to them, despite them being in their 70's.
After they die, Kaya will become a ward of the state.
And thus Wong was arbitrarily banned from access to his own
daughter. He knows where she lives and where she goes to
school, but thanks to trespass laws, he is unable to visit
her. Wong reckons one of the grandparents' motives for
taking Kaya is the monthly government stipend they get for
her, given that they are desperately poor themselves --
and of course now they have a small piece of their dead
daughter, so the emotional ties must be strong as well.
So what to do? Wong has since spent millions of yen trying
to work with the Japanese legal system, but has been
stymied at every step. As other foreign parents quickly
find out, there is no pre-trial disclosure of evidence and
no cross-examination rights. Further, there is no ability
to bring in outside counselors and child psychology
experts to testify for either side. In the end, the judge
makes their own decision, based on serial presentations,
with little apparent interest in whether each side is
telling the truth. Indeed, several years ago, this writer
interviewed a retired Family Court judge who intimated
that he expected both sides in a child custody dispute
to be lying, so "evidence" didn't really mean much.
So there really isn't much that Wong can do, except hope
that the recent pressure for Japan to sign the Hague
convention will start a legal review of the current
family law system. There are over 15 domestic NPO groups
who are hoping for the same changes -- since these
outmoded laws also affect Japanese parents as much as
foreign ones. But we think change will be unlikely.
So perhaps Wong should take the advice of an old friend of
this writer, who had a single piece of advice to counter
the Japanese condition...
"...Get yourself another family, and next time don't get
divorced in Japan!"

- Makeup booths debut in stations
- U.S./China outsourcing firm to start BPO
- Mosquitoes irritate teens enough for them to leave
- Watch copper output
-> John Roos next U.S. ambassador?
Rumors abound that the next Ambassador to Japan, as yet
unnamed, will be John Roos, the CEO of Wilson, Sonsini,
Goodrich & Rosati, a major law firm in the silicon valley
area. The White House has not commented on the reports
yet. Roos was a fundraiser for the Obama campaign and
otherwise helped in the election. (Source: TT commentary
from mercurynews.com, May 21, 2009)
-> Makeup booths debut in stations
When a girl's gotta go, she's gotta go -- to do her makeup,
that is. Tokyo Metro has just installed a makeup booth
facility at Ikebukuro and JR is going to put one in at
Yokohama in June. The stations will be charging just
JPY300/hour for women to touch up their faces in private,
as well as try out samples that are provided by sponsors
to the stations. The booths come in a cluster, and include
a mirror, vanity cabinet, hair dryer, and of course the
cosmetic samples. (Source: TT commentary from nikkei.co.jp,

-> U.S./China outsourcing firm to start BPO
In a sign of the times, U.S. outsourcing company Achievo
(WHO came up with THAT name?), has announced that in
addition to software and IT outsourcing, it will expand
into Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). The company will
use its back office operations in China to help Japanese
companies handle customer information input, payroll
accounting, and other repetitive administrative tasks. The
company reckons it can save Japanese corporate customers
about 2/3 of their current costs. (Source: TT commentary

-> Mosquitoes irritate teens enough for them to leave
The Kitashikahama Park authority in Adachi-ku, Tokyo has
installed The Mosquito high-pitch speaker devices in the
park, to drive delinquent teenagers away. According to park
officials, the device puts out a sound frequency of 17kHz,
which teens can hear but which older people who slowly lose
their hearing in the high frequency ranges, cannot. The
devices are on from 23:00 in the evening through to 04:00am
the next morning. ***Ed: Pretty cool stuff. No doubt there
will be some parents tempted to put one of these things
outside their teenage daughter's bedroom!** (Source: TT
commentary from reuters.com, May 22, 2009)
-> Watch copper output
If you want to know what the smart money thinks about the
direction of the economy, watch raw materials output. For
the auto and electronics industries, people watch copper in
particular, and the good news is that according to the
Japan Copper and Brass Association, the nation's output of
rolled copper jumped 28.7% in April from the month before.
The bad news is that the 41,709-tonne output was still
48.6% down from the output for April 2008. ***Ed: Just wait
until all-electric cars are available, and shipments of
this raw material will soar.** (Source: TT commentary from

You had better check what you write or you will just lose your credibility as a business professional.
"As other foreign parents quickly find out, there is no pre-trial disclosure of evidence and no cross-examination rights. Further, there is no ability to bring in outside counselors and child psychology experts to testify for either side."
These are just lies. There is pre-trial disclosure of evidence and cross-examination. Outside counselors (foreign law lawyers) are available if foreign law is involved in the case. There are foreigners who are registered as Japanese law lawyers. Psychology experts are also available for witness.
The crn website is filled with misinformation.

This author is most likely a Japanese Government Official attempting to state that all of the THOUSANDS of left behind parents that attempted to ask the Japanese courts to bring in experts, counselors, and psychologists are liars. The web site CRNJAPAN.NET is chock full of evidence and contact information regarding the bull this author is spouting. Instead of believing the authors propaganda please look for your self at http://crnjapan.net/The_Japan_Childrens_Rights_Network/perstor.html and contact the fathers and mothers who have been subject to Japans disallowance of experts in "court". You could even ask previous Prime Minister Koizumi who is an ABDUCTOR himself.

In simple,
If the rest of the world is saying you are disgusting, then you really need think how serious problematic you are.
Can you give one or two names of left behind parents who were treated fairly thru the process? while we can name hundred and thousands. Can you?

Saudi Arabia is slashing the pay and benefits of top government officials as it tries to plug a huge hole in its budget.
According to a government decree published by state media, government ministers will take a 20% pay cut, while members of the Shura council -- an advisory body -- will take a 15% cut.
The collapse in oil prices since 2014 has forced the kingdom to make deep spending cuts. The country relies on oil for most of its revenue, and its budget deficit swelled to nearly $100 billion in 2015.
Perks are being slashed too. Government ministers will now have to pay their own phone bills, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency. And senior state officials are losing their government cars until the end of the next financial year.
Related: Pilgrim spending could soothe Saudi Arabia's oil pain
Junior officials won't escape the pain. The kingdom is slashing bonuses and capping paid holiday.
The austerity drive is also affecting foreign workers. Saudi Arabia has announced new limits on hiring of expats, in a bid to encourage state-run companies to employ more Saudi nationals.
Boosting domestic employment in the private sector is a key element of Saudi Arabia's plan to wean the economy off oil by 2030.
The majority of Saudi nationals -- about 70% -- are currently employed by the government, while the private sector is dominated by foreign workers who are not entitled to the same benefits as Saudi-born workers. Spending on public sector wages has become unsustainable while oil prices remain so low.
Related: Saudi Arabia tries to break 'dangerous' addiction to oil
Saudi oil is among the cheapest in the world, costing just under $10 per barrel to produce. But the kingdom needs to sell it for about $86 per barrel -- nearly double the current world market price -- to keep its budget balanced.
The government has already introduced a sales tax, slashed subsidies on energy and water, and borrowed billions in an attempt to balance its books.
It is also considering selling a piece of its giant oil company, Saudi Aramco.

Jo Brand outrage shows we're heading into a puritanical age, says Jonathan Pie creator Tom Walker
Monday 17 June 2019 10:41, UK
Jo Brand has been criticised for joking about throwing battery acid on politicians, rather than milkshakes. The police say they are assessing a complaint about it.
She has said the role of freedom of speech is "extremely important".
Comedian Tom Walker, known for his satirical news reporter character Jonathan Pie explains why Brand's comments cannot be taken too seriously.
I find it extraordinary that in this day and age we are still debating this. There are two things you need to look at: context and intent.
Listening to the clip of Jo Brand's joke, the context is there - clear as day. You can hear people laughing at it. It is a comedian telling a joke on a comedy programme. It is clearly a joke within that context.
Now, intent. Do we honestly think that Jo Brand wants us to throw acid on politicians' faces? If you actually believe that then you are wilfully, in my opinion, misunderstanding what a joke is. The intent there was to have a laugh.
Comedian George Carlin once said it is the comedian's job to find where the line where you shouldn't cross is - and then gently step over it.
We are heading into a puritanical age where most comedians feel they have to stay a couple of metres behind that line. Comedy is about hyperbole, irony, even shock sometimes.
It's a dangerous precedent when the prime minister is getting involved, having a pop at the BBC for telling jokes on a comedy programme. I find it absolutely bizarre.
It clearly wasn't an incitement of hatred.
:: Listen to the Sophy Ridge on Sunday podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Spreaker
I wonder whether Nigel Farage, who called on the police to act following her comments, is trolling us a little bit and having a go at the snowflake left.
It's quite often the left going 'we need to watch ourselves with our language', more than the right.
If the police want to investigate it, all they have to do is listen to the joke in its original context. That should tell them all they need to know. Being offended doesn't mean a crime has been committed, Wilfully misinterpreting a joke also does not mean a crime has been committed.
To be clear: It would not be funny if someone threw battery acid because that causes physical harm. It is not the same as telling a joke.
If a person throws battery acid on someone's face after hearing that joke, that person has clear mental health problems and is unable to understand the context and intent of a joke.
Jo Brand would not be culpable at all. That person would be the criminal and they would be responsible.
I'm a big believer in free speech generally, and certainly in this context. It was clearly a joke. If you didn't like it, switch off and don't watch Jo Brand again.
It's as simple as that.

As I read your blog, I am in tears, heartbroken at the injustice in this country and the world. I also have hope that things will finally change. Thank you once again for a wonderful post.
We Can't Ignore this Data
I very much support the nationwide protests against racism, because racism is very much a public health problem. Michelle Williams, Dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, explains:
"That reality is apparent not just in the police brutality that disproportionately claims the lives of Black Americans, but in the legacy of slavery and discrimination that persists in countless social determinants of health. To understand how this manifests today, one need only examine the disparities in health care, pollution exposure, and access to green spaces, nutritious food, and educational opportunities that have long harmed health—and prematurely ended lives—in marginalized communities. While the COVID-19 pandemic has newly laid these inequities bare for all Americans to see, the underlying injustices have endured for generations."
We know very well that the COVID-19 pandemic is ridiculously, disproportionately impacting our communities of color. Studies show that Black and Latino patients are much more likely to die from COVID-19 than whites:
Racism is deeply ingrained in the social, political, and economic structures of our society, resulting in real, tangible discrimination. For minorities, this discrimination results in unequal access to quality education, healthy food, livable wages, and affordable housing.
And a greater risk of dying at the hands of law enforcement. Research shows that Black, Native America, and Latino males are far more likely than whites to die as a result of being killed by police:
And there's more data on this, there's full color video of George Floyd being murdered, slowly and surely, over a torturous eight minutes by a police officer's knee on his neck. This video might be the data that does it. Yes, the numbers have been there. But that video, that is hard data, the hardest data there is, in so many ways. This is the data that no one can say was made up, no one can look away from, no one can ignore.
Ignoring the data, we've been good at that. We've been doing that for a long time. And that is wrong. On March 10, 1968, The Reverend Martin Luther King gave a speech in New York City, titled "The Other America". It's as relevant now as it was then, and well worth reading, or listening. On the protests and riots then:
"And the great tragedy is that the nation continues in its national policy to ignore the conditions that brought the riots or the rebellions into being. For in the final analysis, the riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America's failed to hear? It's failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of justice and freedom have not been met. It has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, humanity, and equality, and it is still true. It is still true that these things are being ignored."
It's time to pay attention, to listen, and change. This is a job for all of us, no matter how we identify. It's especially a job for all of us in medicine. Our medical system is so poisoned by structural racism, that both patients and providers are suffering. My colleague, physician Altaf Saadi wrote about her experience being harassed by patients, as a Muslim woman who wears a headscarf:
"We — as physicians and society more generally — must realize that the struggles of one marginalized community are struggles of all of us. My fight as a Muslim-American doctor to serve my patients without fear of racism, and the fight of an African-American patient to be treated with dignity and respect, should also be your fights."
Her words echo the words of King in that same 1967 speech:
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
This is absolutely true, and it's why we need to all take this moment and run with it. Now is the time to make change stick.
So what's next, how do we even begin to tackle the social inequities, the poverty, the disadvantages and discouragements of a hundred years? I was thrilled to hear from a real leader on this, someone who really knows what they're talking about when it comes to racism. Former president Barack Obama wrote a powerful essay in Medium, pointing out that while protest (ideally peaceful protest) can successfully call attention to an issue, it's not an effective solution in and of itself.
"If we want to bring about real change, then the choice isn't between protest and politics. We have to do both. We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform."
He points out that the reforms then need to be specific and smart. He ends with a message of hope and action:
"I recognize that these past few months have been hard and dispiriting — that the fear, sorrow, uncertainty, and hardship of a pandemic have been compounded by tragic reminders that prejudice and inequality still shape so much of American life. But watching the heightened activism of young people in recent weeks, of every race and every station, makes me hopeful. If, going forward, we can channel our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective action, then this moment can be a real turning point in our nation's long journey to live up to our highest ideals. Let's get to work."
So what's next?
What he said: Let's get to work.

Yes i will continue maintain this gsoc project along with my all other open-source applications.
Why should we choose you over other applicants ?
I've been working for open source for more than three years. and i want to remain all of my applications as open source. from the below mentioned facts I prove myself to be the apt candidate to take up the proposed project.
Proposal Description
I express my gratitude to swathanthra malayalam computing for accepting my idea of six approch of br for XKB,Gtk and QT. I here by express a brief overview of my project.
Braille is a writing and reading system using six raised dots. As a night writing method of writing developed by Charles barbier, it has been perfected by louis braille. The most relevant feature of braille system is that the world community became successful in creating a unified code for all the languages based on its phonetics.
Bharati braille is a largely unified braille script for writing the languages of India. which use a 6-dot cell with values based largely on English Braille. It consists of 11 scripts including malayalam. Letters are assigned as consistently as possible across the various regional scripts of India as they are transliterated in the Latin script, so that Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, and English are rendered largely the same in braille. also bharati braille retains all the basic conventions relating to the representation of numerals, punctuation and special symbols just as in standard English Braille. Like english indian languages also have contractions and special abbreviations which make text writing faster than normal, for example hear is the Grade-3 contraction list for English.
It is in consideration of this fact, lot of apps has braille output along with the screen readers(BRLTTY with orca)and braille translators (Dots,Liblouis). At the same time there is no input method using the six key approach of the braille to produce text.
Application's which are currently available in Linux Repositories.[edit] BRLTTY : is a background daemon which provides access to the linux console for a blind person using a refreshable braille display -
Dots : - Dots is braille typesetting program for Linux, it can translate XML and MS DOC files and displays it both ASCII and braille dot notation.
liblouis : - provides Braille translation and formatting for a large number of languages and Braille codes.
Orca : a screen reader which support Braille refreshable display's
Sharada-Braille-Writer : one of my projects, it is a simple text editor which use six key approach of brailler to input text. But it has a big limitation that is it cannot be used for other application as a layout works.
Since there is no existing braille layout, My plan is to make a Braille Keyboard layouts extension for XKB.
Relevance of braille as an input.
1. it is very simple, uses only six keys of the keyboard.
2. It is specially important for indic languages which use more than fifty alphabets.
3. Having the same code for all the languages of india unified, known as bharathi braille there is no need for learning different layouts.
4. braille is a highly efficient system for it can use contractions and abbreviations and it can enhance the text production speed to a great extend.
5. braille is a world standard and a braille input method will make it accessible and user friendly for visually impaired, persons with limited hand movement, dysluxic
6. It can lead to designing small keybords that can be used with tablets.
Any relevant experience you have
I have already developed the applications in this direction named Sharada-Braille-Writer. It is a text editor using six key approach to produce print in different indian languages along with english.
How i intend to implement my proposal
Brailler is an equipment for producing braille(6 dots) materials in a fast and efficient manner, so i selected f, d, s, j, k and l representing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 dots of the braille system.
f j 1 4 d k 2 5 s l 3 6
Create a Braille module and framework for XKB. for which use the mapping files of key(to be pressed simultaneously) -> letter. Eg:
f a fd b fj c fsjl x fdsjk q ....
In order to produce 'a' one has to press 'f' and for 'b' 'f' and 'd' together to be press, and for 'c' f and j like, 'h' will be used for letter deletion and 'g' and 'h' together for word deletion. create braille -> letter map files for this XKB module.
Create plugable braille extention for GTK and QT. This will be
Integrate third grade contractions for english and malayalam.
Add punctuation and numerals as separate map for these two extentions.

For a folder specified as a synced folder by cloud storage (like Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox) and its subfolders and files, the context menu items provided by Bandizip and other third-party apps do not appear when you right-click on them.
This issue is due to the File Provider introduced to Mac from macOS Monterey 12.1. File Provider is a virtual file management function provided by the OS instead of cloud storage, and it makes the synced folder specified by the cloud storage exist only as a virtual folder and the path of the actual synced folder get specified by the OS.
Some functions (including Finder Sync) of the Finder are disabled in a folder synced by using the File Provider and because of that, the right-click menu provided by Bandizip and other third-party apps cannot work correctly on such a folder.

Roswell mayor reacts to 'flip of the coin' arrest
ROSWELL, Ga. - The Roswell Mayor is weighing in after two of the city's officers were placed on paid administrative leave accused of leaving the fate of a woman in the hands of an electronic coin flip app.
Roswell Mayor Lori Henry called the incident "inexcusable" and said she was "shocked and offended" by the officer's actions.
Investigators said Sarah Webb was pulled over last April for speeding along Highway 92. Officers Courtney Brown and Kristee Wilson had the discretion of citing Webb for speeding or arresting for the more serious charge of reckless conduct. Body cam video showed they based their decision on the flip of an electronic coin app. The heads or tails decision went against Webb who was arrested on the more serious charge of reckless conduct and speeding.
On her Facebook page, the mayor wrote:
Roswell Police Chief Rusty Grant told FOX 5 News prosecutors dropped the charges after the Fulton County Solicitor General's Office learned of the circumstance surrounding the arrest of Webb.
Officers Brown and Wilson, who are in their 20s and have been on the force about two years, are on paid administrative leave as the department conducts an internal investigation. Chief Grant said it's still unclear how long it will take to determine the outcome of the internal investigation.
Webb said she is contemplating legal action.

Elizabeth Warren Takes On Tax Preparation Industry With New Legislation To Make Filing Easier
Reposted with permission from Alternet.
With Tax Day nearing, Elizabeth Warren has introduced legislation that would simplify tax filing and lower the cost for Americans. The Massachusetts senator introduced the Tax Filing Simplification Act, which would direct the Internal Revenue Service to create a free tax preparation and filing service.
Warren explained the importance of the bill in a press release:
Congress should be making it easier for Americans to file their taxes each year, not bowing to the interests of the tax prep industry. The Tax Filing Simplification Act is a commonsense bill that would help taxpayers all across this country file their taxes with less stress and fewer costs, and it would push the IRS to use the authority it already has to simplify Tax Day for all Americans.
Americans pay an average of $200 a year in tax filing services, so it's little surprise that the tax preparation industry opposes a shift to free filing. Intuit, the company that owns TurboTax, has spent over $13 million lobbying against efforts to simplify the process. A staff report, relesed by Warren in conjunction with the legislation, points out that:
The tax-filing burden is an essential part of the tax preparation industry's business model, and the industry sees return-free filing as a fundamental threat to its operations. As a result, the industry has devised numerous ways to oppose a return-free filing system, spending millions of dollars lobbying Congress against return-free filing and mounting fake "grassroots" campaigns against return-free filing.
Elizabeth Warren certainly isn't the first politician to call for free filing. The Obama administration supports it and a recent Vox piece quotes a Ronald Reagan speech from 1985:
We envision a system where more than half of us would not even have to fill out a return. We call it the return-free system, and it would be totally voluntary. If you decided to participate, you would automatically receive your refund or a letter explaining any additional tax you owe. Should you disagree with this figure, you would be free to fill out your taxes using the regular form. We believe most Americans would go from the long form or the short form to no form.
Read the complete text of Warren's bill on her website.

Could of Fooled Me!
I would never like a book about that topic!
I guess this book looks okay...
The Book Thief totally fooled me. I couldn't get into it until I got the audiobook and then I was hooked. Amazing. Here's mine http://wp.me/pzUn5-VGReplyDelete
I had the same experience with A Tale of Two Cities. I tried so hard to get through it, literally like 5 or 6 times. I finally decided to just stick it out and I absolutely loved the end.
Heart of the Matter is the only Emily Giffin book I have left. I want to read it! Her books are so addicting.
I know! It's so hard to get into it at first, but it's completely worth it once you get to the end.
You've got to read it! It's similar to her other books, but I really love her writing. She's got another book coming out this summer called Where We Belong!
Oh my gosh I love learning about books such as classics that look boring but then turn out to be awesome. I mean, I already like classics, but still. YAY!
AND OMG YES WITH THE FLUFF covers, I thought Anna and Lola were going to be light, fluffy forgettable reads and I was totally wrong.
YAY for liking classics! And I'm so glad you agree about the fluff covers! It's seriously one of my biggest pet peeves with YA books. I have no problem reading YA, but there are numerous covers I practically want to slap a paper bag over so that people can't judge haha!Delete
Okay, I've been putting off Anna and Lola because they look like fluff books, and it looks like I need to move them up on my TBR list! I love the way you arranged this list. If you have a chance, you should check out my Top Ten Tuesday for this week!ReplyDelete

Earlier this year we found out that T-Mobile was going to institute a soft data cap of 5GB on its 3G data plans. But while other US wireless carriers charge users extra fees when they go over their data caps, T-Mobile will continue to let you get online — you'll just experience much slower speeds.
After about 6 months of waiting, it looks like T-Mobile is finally getting ready to put its new plan into action. TmoNews reports that the new data throttling plan takes effect this Friday.
While this may come as bad news for some T-Mobile customers, the company suggests that fewer than 1 percent of their customers currently use more than 5GB of data per month right now, so most people won't be affected at all. As for those of you who are heavy data users, would you rather have your speed throttled back or have the option of paying extra if you need more data?

I feel like I am the only one of my blogging friends to not post their Force Awakens review. Well, I wanted to see the movie twice to make sure I wasn't just gushing over the experience more than the film itself. It was definitely one of the most memorable movie-going experiences I've ever had. I even dressed up
Fortunately I'm happy to tell all of you that the movie lived up to the experience. Star Wars is back and the great world Lucas gave us in 1977 will continue on in good form for a whole new generation. I couldn't be happier!
I'll give you a few plot points that are basically available on the trailer (I tried to keep it spoiler free but if you are very sensitive stay away).
The focus on Force Awakens is on a young woman named Rey (Daisy Ridley) who is a scavenger on the planet Jakku. One day she meets a droid named BB8 who has a message from his master, a pilot named Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) meant for the resistance. Along the way to deliver the message she meets Finn (John Boyega) a stormtrooper who has deserted his post.
They all take the millennium falcon and meet Hon Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) and they face off with a leader in the new empire named Kylo Ren.
I'll leave the rest for you to uncover. The characters were probably my favorite thing about Force Awakens- both old and new. I thought they did such a good job merging the worlds together. I especially loved Finn and Rey who are very well portrayed by their respective actors. Kylo Ren was also a more complex villain than we have seen in many a Star Wars film (at least at first).
Harrison Ford is really trying here unlike some of his grumbling recent performances. It feels like he and Chewie are back and at home again on the Millennium Falcon. I honestly was prepared to 'put up' with his performance but he did a great job.
A few of the characters I could have had more of particularly captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) who I was hoping would be a bit more of an awesome female villain, which Star Wars has never really had. Hopefully in the next film she will be used even more.
I also wasn't crazy about the main villain played by Andy Serkis named Supreme Leader Snoke. I didn't love the design and he didn't seem menacing enough.
But it is a small problem in a very entertaining film. Like I said the characters were wonderful. There was a ton of comedy without it being moronic or annoying like JarJar Binks. I particularly loved the BB8 droid who is my new droid crush (sorry R2D2!). He was beyond adorable. You did get to see R2D2 and C3PO which was a lot of fun as well.
I also enjoyed the action in the film and I never got bored the entire movie! It was great to see practical, earthy feeling special effects and the battle sequences were awesome. I particularly liked the light saber duels which felt more visceral than in previous films. It felt like the light was a knife not just a pretty light you could put your hand through. As we knew Kylo Ren has a special light saber with a hilt on it and he fought like a man possessed at times. It was so mesmerizing to watch.
What's really interesting about Kylo Ren is he is a villain that is battling not with the darkness but with the light. He wants to be like his idol Vader but he falls woefully short. This is such a contrast to the prequels with the whiny Anakin futilely resisting the dark side. He's an interesting contrast to Finn who has left the darkness because he had an 'awakening' of what was the right thing to do.
Lupita Nyong'o appears in a motion capture performance as Maz Kanata a cantina owner who gives counsel to the crew and I really liked her character. All the characters and actors except for Phasma and Snoke were great.
Director JJ Abrams has crafted a film that is entertaining for non-Star Wars fans and is chuck full of lore and new story for the die hard fans. And like I said the script is sharp, very quickly paced (sometimes too quick!), and drew me in. I cried. I laughed a lot and I think that credit has to go to the return of Lawrence Kasdan to the script. John Williams music is also wonderful as usual (while maybe missing the new standout number it's a great score).
Overall, there has probably never been a movie more anxiously awaited than Force Awakens and while I had a few issues here and there I was greatly entertained by the film. In the case of this fan my expectations were met.
Congratulations to JJ Abrams and team for the tremendous job you have accomplished. The world has a quality new Star Wars movie! Yippee!
My brother and I did a video starting with our anticipation and then our reaction, and a few spoilers at the end (I also have it divided into smaller portions on the channel if you prefer).
As far as content it does have intense moments but I feel it isn't more so than the original trilogy. If your kids can handle Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi I think they can watch this.
Overall Grade- A
Let me know what you think of Star Wars: Force Awakens? Did it meet your expectations? I hope so! I can't wait to see it many more times and am so happy Star Wars is back!

Reggae musician zHustlers just found this out the hard way that posting truth about human immune system capabilities of overcoming COVID-19 using natural herbs without vaccines. The social media giants won't let such an action happen due to large pharma companies are using social media for censorship of views and influencing believe in their NAZI experimental agenda of Covid. The musician got banned for placing Ghetto star on his profile saying he will never vaccinate so they can take him to Antivaxxer's ghetto right now. That led him be permanently banished on Linkedin and removed as admin in his own FB Pages, but zHustlers thinks he knows where is the solution. He says he's learned from his "little" mistake and would like to challenge the Facebook.
"Facebook and WhatsApp are the tools in the hands of CIA - a toy given to a baby of a CIA chief son Mark Zuckenberg. Everybody knows there is no privacy and data leaks are regular however everyone keeps using it due to worldwide recognition of that system. All was good until now - until we have a real threat from governments and we see how lovely puffy Facebook can turn into cold steel machine terminating your life, memories and work you have done for year. It is corporate tool for governance of masses dangerous for democracy." And based on this he launched his own social network called momenters.com.
Momenters is a censorship free social media platform paying you for your activity from a share of an advertisement revenue. It works like the points system. Users are getting various amounts of coins by commenting, liking other people posts or creating their own. There are two types of a user - Lifetime membership of $99 paid and FREE ones. The free ones can earn like 10,000 points per day but paid - 20,000 points per day. Points can be easily exchanged to real money and withdrawn to Paypal or Coinpayments.
The other way how you can earn on momenters.com censorship free social media platform inspired by Twitters blockage of a President Trump is by inviting others. Inside the platform is a built in affiliate system. As mentioned before - there are two types of users - professionals - who wish to advertise and promote - they also can earn twice as much as free user; and free user. So when you advertise your affiliate link and people sign up on our website via your link - you earn $0,10 per each new registration and 70% of a PRO upgrade - meaning you can get like $69 if you attract a person who is interestedin advertising on momenters.com
What else Momenters is good for? You can create blogs, pages, job posts, offers, upload pictures, video, audio files and even have a video call made to other users! Momenters offers very cheap advertisements - like 10 times cheaper than on Facebook. You can promote anything except adult content - it's designed for A.I., crypto and work from home enthusiasts.
"I got over 2,000 people registered on momenters.com on the first day of launching the platform. People are doing the same as they would do on a Facebook just with a security of no big brother is collecting their data in order to later manipulate your behavior. Maybe people have got used to they are being watched and like being controlled - however for those who don't - Momenters is a great alternative with much more features than Facebook itself and 180 degrees radical viewpoint on what privacy should be about without censorship. Next thing we are creating mobile app for a chat to also avoid users data collection via WhatsApp most probably used for same Great Restart propoganda", says musician zHustlers, founder of Momenters.
Think about your privacy and security of your online assets - stop feeding Facebook - join private social networks like momenters.com and follow zHustlers!
