Reviews"Perhaps your average night at the theater doesn't include screams of 'Nigger Monkey's' and 'Black skinned beasts!' but Thomas Bradshaw's does. The playwright-provocateur presents a wickedly shocking double bull that unapologetically flaunts racial conflict....Bradshaw doesn't deliver a normal night out, but his outrages are worth every second of discomfort." - Time Out New York
"Tom Bradshaw's most important contribution to society is snatching narrative and its elements back from the clutches of the ordinary" - Richard Maxwell, Playwright and Director
"Bradshaw has a positive genius for explosive imagery, putting biracial Lauraul in a Klan costume and penning a demonic parody of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech for Strom Thurmond....Bradshaw has a deep dramatic and linguistic intelligence." - Village Voice
"These uncomfortably intense plays focus on racism in our society, from the Dixiecrats of the south to the confused generation of today.... The intensity that Bradshaw intended came through tenfold." - New York Cool
"Thomas Bradshaw is sometimes billed as a playwright/provocateur. In actuality, he is a playwright/academic.... The provocateur comes from the fact that he is a black author who often holds a blinding spotlight on the issues of race and black identity in this country. His work is characterized by an unflinching concentration on the fundamental effects of racism on black self worth.... Strom Thurmond is Not a Racist/Cleansed is a provocative, gripping, and unsettling evening." - New York City Onstage

The Moral of Our Story: A Gay Asian-American's Perspective on Reclaiming the Moral Narrative
https://soundcloud.com/marpheen-chann/the-moral-of-our-story Transcript:
I believe that we have, for too long, allowed those with more fundamentalist views to monopolize morality and what it means to be a moral human being. I believe morality exists as a universal concept to free humanity from our baser instincts, such as hate, fear, and violence; that morality should free us to contemplate, imagine, and dream of a world in which we live in peaceful coexistence. Instead, we have seen morality used to oppress, marginalize, dehumanize, and to stoke fear and hate of those who may look different, talk different, dress different, act different, and love differently.
And so over the years I've learned and read and reflected on a different type of morality. Not one based out of fear or a partial understanding of humanity and each other - a morality that misunderstands and views the world through a dark and clouded window- but one based out of love. Unconditional love. For humanity. For each other. One that sees each person holistically and sees each person and accepts them as they are.
But before I begin, I'd like to read some passages that stand out for me around the topic of morality and the law. In Matthew 23, Jesus talks about the Pharisees, or the teachers of the law:
"Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 "The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses.[a] 3 So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don't follow their example. For they don't practice what they teach. 4 They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden." —Matthew 23:1-4 (NLT)
And further on:
"What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people's faces. You won't go in yourselves, and you don't let others enter either." —Matthew 23:13 (NLT)
"What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens,[g] but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith." —Matthew 23:23 (NLT)
My beliefs about morality are grounded in my experiences as a first-generation son of Cambodian refugees; as the adopted son of a white, working class, and evangelical family; my brown skin; and my identity as a gay man. Up until age 9, me and my younger siblings lived in poverty here in Portland. We survived on food stamps and housing assistance and the diverse community that surrounded us - teachers, social workers, guardians, family and friends, and neighbors from all over the world. I remember, when we first moved here and lived with my grandmother and aunts and uncles on Chestnut Street, I met a friend whose family was from Africa. One memory sticks out in particular, when me and my friend sat for dinner and his mother set two bowls of pasta and tomato sauce in front of me. It was a simple meal, but the experience of sharing a meal with a friend fills me to this day.
But my mother was unwell. She was a refugee who spent her childhood on the run from the Khmer Rouge during the communist takeover in Cambodia. She spent her childhood on the run from a genocide that killed millions of Cambodians in what became known as the killing fields. And so me and my three younger siblings were split into pairs and placed in foster care. Me with my sister Tanya and my younger sister Seyya with the youngest, Brandon. We spent years in the foster care system until, in 2003, a family in Naples, who had my two youngest siblings, thought it was the right time to reunite all four of us.
My adoptive family, as I've mentioned before, was an evangelical family that went to a pentecostal church. And as a broken kid from a broken family with a broken identity and brown skin, the idea of a God with unconditional love was appealing. But that unconditional love came with conditions. One of those conditions, at least for the traditions that my family ascribed to, was that homosexualiy was not allowed. It wasn't just a sin. It was an abomination that violated the natural order that God had intended for humanity.
And while there were of course those in the church that harbored hatred toward gays and the LGBTQ community, many adopted the view that you "Love the sinner, but hate the sin." And this is important to dissect because that is how this particular sect of Christianity interprets the commandment to "Love Thy Neighbor." In their view, advocating for things such as conversion therapy, allowing businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ people, and for anti-sodomy laws fits within a very narrow conception of love that often ends up contorting, twisting, and making a mess out of what it means to truly "Love Thy Neighbor." But they don't realize that in order to view LGBTQ rights and equality through this very narrow window, they look at people like me through a very narrow window. It's a like a surgical, laser-like focus where they attempt to zoom in on just that art of my identity that is gay and they pick it apart to focus on sexual aspect of it in order to say, "Aha! I have found the cancer of sin. Now, we must cut it out!"
But what they see as a cancer is in fact not a cancer at all but a very important part of my beating heart. And in their surgical approach, which focuses on only the sexual activity and ignores the science and progress made regarding sexual health and prevention, I have been dehumanized, belittled, and my dignity as a human being has been violated. This narrow, surgical approach has been taken by countless parents, families, and churches and governments all over the country and all over the world. And even after they've cut out that small chunk of beating heart, they sit back and wonder why LGBTQ people are more anxious, depressed, and suicidal.
Morality used in such a way has instead appealed to the more base instincts of humanity. Fear. Anger. Hate. And so I posit to you the question of whether a morality that leads to oppression is a morality at all. I believe that the answer is no.
No, true morality frees humanity from fear, hate, anger and envy so that we are free to dream of a world without war, without famine, without genocide; a world where we live in peaceful coexistence and strive to be better. A morality born out of true, unconditional love.
But a lingering question is why a morality that sees each human and the world through the lens of love is vital. It is not just so we can coexist. It's so we can thrive. Morality should not subjugate, as I have mentioned before, but rather it should bring together for the common good. The common good cannot be realized without coexistence. And so a morality based on the ideas and tenets of true love, truly loving your neighbor, brings people together to achieve what we cannot achieve alone.
It is only together that we can work to feed every hungry child not only in America, but the world. Only together, whether through the instrument of government or charity, can we care for the elderly, sick, and dying or take care of the stranger or those fleeing from war torn countries. Only together can we house the homeless and those without shelter, food, or clothing. Only together can we help those suffering from the awful disease of substance and opioid abuse.
But we can only come together if reclaim morality and what it means to be moral. If we take back morality and what it means to be moral human beings. If we do not allow darker and pernicious forces with political agendas to use twisted morality to oppress and subjugate people. We must see morality based on love as a morality that frees us from hate ,fear, anger, envy and violence.
As Scripture says in 1 Corinthians Chapter 13:
Love Is the Greatest 1If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. 3If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;a but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing. 4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 8Prophecy and speaking in unknown languagesb and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. 11When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.c All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. 13Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
So I will close by saying:
And thus religion has pushed many away, including myself. But over the years, I have come to know many religious friends of all faiths who practice soulfully and sincerely and I've come to realize that religion does play a role if it is focused on what is right (with a small r) and good. As I've written in my forthcoming memoir:
"[Religion] is at its best when it echoes the deepest instincts of humankind; that deep sense of the reality of the human condition and the compassion and collective action needed to mitigate its more crude and cruel features. But its value ends when it departs from the near-universal principles of loving your neighbor as yourself and treating others with dignity and respect. Once religion transcends private practice and enters into the public domain, and becomes institutionalized; that is where its evils can be realized as an instrument of power and control. When it becomes less about an individual and their God or gods or higher power, and becomes a mission or crusade to wield public institutions and to then enter the private realms of others; then it transforms into something less sincere and soulful and becomes more sanctimonious and sinister."
So again I ask, will we let fear and bigotry drive morality or will we let love, unconditional love, show us the path forward. Thank you.

THE INSTITUTE OF CULINARY EDUCATION SERVES BETTER CONTENT DELIVERY WITH T2 COMPUTING, iPADS
ICE invested in iPads and services by T2 Computing to feed students content in a more engaging way.
Richard Simpson says the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) needed a better way to serve content to students.
That solution was batches of brand new iPads implemented by T2 Computing.
Simpson says the iPads replaced students' big, clunky textbooks and better engages them with the content.
"The idea of using iPads was born from the desire to deliver content in a more meaningful way," says Simpson, Director and Vice President for Education at ICE. "That's what made them attractive. We also began to think about better ways to deliver content to students that would make them more prone to interacting with it. We realized we could make what used to be a heavy batch of books into an easy-to-carry iPad."
Simpson also says iPads were ICE's device of choice because they were used successful at other institutions. Plus, he says iPads supported the school's IT limitations.
"iPads seemed better suited to our application than any other tablet did," Simpson says. "They were already used in [other] educational institutions. We also knew we had to choose a single device because of our own IT limitations; we were not in a position to be device agnostic."
Simpson says the iPads integrated smoothly with instructors' workflow, and created more interactive teaching opportunities during class time.
"We added a whole AV component to our school to enable our instructors to lecture and show their own content through the iPads that are linked to video screens in the kitchens," he says. "It's a lot better way to deliver content."
Jerry Gepner, CEO and president of T2 Computing says the iPad implementation and ICE had an efficient system to get students' devices configured, even when the implementation started three years ago.
He says students can now configure their own devices.
"Today, all of the setup is done by the student, but done by using videos we've produced," Gepner says. "They actually log in and we don't do any reconfiguration of the device. They're given instructions where to find the videos, and the videos walk them through the configuration of their mobile device. It also installs mobile device management (MDM) software, so it installs an MDM client that we administer as the "super administrator." The school is the day-to-day administrator of it, which is how they can push content, apps and other things to the students' iPads, and they can keep it as current as they want."
Gepner says one of the challenges ICE faced was weaving the iPads into instructors' teaching styles.
However, he says this hurdle was jumped by constant communication with instructors' about their needs.
"With the instructors, it was more about us learning about them and their environment to allow us to customize a solution for them," Gepner says. "How you approach your customer and what you know about what they do will make all the difference in the world as to whether or not there's a big challenge for you."
Since implementing the iPads, Simpson says students are excited to learn and use their new devices inside and outside class.
"Our students' evaluations indicate that they are positive about the iPads," he says. "And while we are still growing into the full potential of the iPad, we know that when we tell students in the admission cycle about it, they're very excited that they can have their content delivered this way."
Gepner says ICE's iPad implementation was successful due to the partnership the school had with T2 Computing.
He says this relationship will continue to contribute to ICE's future iPad-based teaching endeavors.
"As they evolve, we're partners with them," Gepner says. "As they evolve their content and offerings, they meet with us regularly and want to know what's new…They're great people to deal with because they're always receptive to good ideas and are the first ones to tell us when something is working well, and when something is not."
Tips to a Successful Device Implementation
Know your goals
Simpson says colleges looking to implement universal devices to teach students should establish why they want these devices to begin with.
That way, administrators are about to measure the implementation's success, and chances of gaining instructors' support increases.
"You have to begin by determining what your goals are," Simpson says. "If you don't know why you're doing it, you don't know how to measure if you were successful…If you're trying to install something to solve a problem that's not really a problem, you're going to get resistance from people absorbing the technology. The first thing you have to figure out why you want to do it, and make sure other people think it's a worthwhile goal."
Talk to instructors
Gepner says vendors helping with an implementation should honor the culture an instructor has built in their classroom.
That means talking with instructors and customizing the technology to support their workflow.
"Sit in on a lot of classes, talk to the instructors, talk to the leadership and administration of the school," Gepner says. "You have to be sensitive to the culture of the place, the history, what the sensibilities of the instructors are, what their objectives are. What are they trying to accomplish? That's what really makes it work."
Make sure IT can support your solution
Simpson says colleges should make sure they select a solution that can be supported by IT.
If not, the implementation will flop, cause technological disasters and waste the school's money.
"You have to have a lot of buy-in from your IT department," Simpson says. "You have to make sure they have the bandwidth and infrastructure to support you. Our whole Wi-Fi system had to be ripped out and redone to have sufficient bandwidth to have 400 people downloading simultaneously. There are all these pieces you need to figure out before you jump in."

New Form of Male Contraception Shown to be Effective in Monkeys
In 2011, trials of a male contraceptive injection were halted when the participants reported negative side effects, including acne and mood swings [1]. Following this study, forms of male contraception have remained far and few between, limited almost entirely to condoms and vasectomy. Now, researchers behind a new form of male contraceptive called Vasagel hope that their product will be able to widen the options available to men. Functioning similarly to a vasectomy, Vasagel is a long-acting contraceptive that works by injecting the gel into a male's vas deferens, blocking the passage of sperm. [2] In a trial performed by researchers at the University of California, Vasagel was injected into 16 male monkeys who were then housed with fertile female monkeys for one to two breeding seasons. [3] The trial resulted in no pregnancies, and limited side effects for the males, although one monkey experienced complications due to a misplaced injection. [3] This is a promising start to the long process required for a product to make it to the market. The two biggest hurdles for Vasagel will be funding, and proving that the gel's contraceptive effect is reversible. Without proving reversibility, the product has little hope of becoming available to the public or gaining the necessary funding, because it would provide no advantage over the traditional vasectomy. The monkey study did not prove (or attempt to prove) Vasagel's reversibility, meaning that this will be a major focus of research if the study goes on to be tried on human subjects.

Sending their kids to a private school will not leave them with the annual earnings they desire in retirement, Mr. Baldwin says. Note on fees: Private schools don't acquire cash from the state college funds, so they are financed through corporate gifts and grants, religious institutions (if they are parochial) and tuition from these who attend. The school is located in the pleasant Germantown suburb of Philadelphia, which offers it both a suburban really feel and comprehensive urban access.
Right now, there are much more than 70 boarders from 12 nations, and the complete school community rewards from the variety of cultures, experiences, and educational values that the boarders bring to campus. We offer empowering education for girls at all levels: starting in the elementary grades, our students are offered the help and challenges they want to develop and excel straight via middle college and on to effective graduation in Grade 12 (Day College: Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 Boarding: Grades 7-12). The college emphasises the major function that parents play in their children's spiritual improvement.
For a lot of young ladies, boys are intimidating and girls really feel a want to worry about their appearance in front of them. Go to the college with your child to make sure you are both in agreement with the choice to attend a specific boarding college. Located in Abingdon, as the Excellent Schools Guide puts it this girls' school 'takes no prisoners', with 77.eight per cent of A-level grades getting A/A in 2015 and 93 per cent of I/GCSE final results. Horace Mann College is a co-ed independent day college located in New York City that was founded in 1887.
It is important that private schools sustain an ongoing partnership with respected colleges and pipeline their students to them. Public college students are also paying athletic costs and facing the loss of significantly less common or more high-priced sports. The New Community School empowers vibrant, talented students who are challenged by dyslexia and connected learning differences.
Luther Memorial College is proud of the possibilities offered to students and remains steadfast in our mission to offer a sturdy developmental and academic foundation for youngsters in pre-kindergarten 3 through eighth grade. Items like rigorous academics, a spectacular seaside campus, and a quintessential eastern boarding college show clearly that this is no ordinary school, nor ordinary web site. The college has been previously ranked as the prime rugby school in the nation, and tours have integrated Dubai, Japan and New Zealand.

Bitcoin Core developer Jimmy Song has acquired altercation by suggesting that bitcoin enthusiasts would be bigger off application acclaim cards as a agency of payment. He declared this action as actuality "more rational and convenient" than authoritative different onchain transactions.

Also read: Credit Agenda Cartels Landed With $6.2 Billion Price-Fixing Bill
Bitcoin Core developers are accepted to apostle the use of the cryptocurrency agreement they advice to maintain. Jimmy Song's abracadabra to use acclaim cards, area possible, has appropriately been greeted with atheism in some quarters. "If you appetite to use bitcoin as a adjustment of payment," he began his tweet, implying that there was article odd about absent to accomplish payments with a cryptocurrency whose whitepaper is blue-blooded "a peer-to-peer cyberbanking banknote system."

A cardinal of Bitcoin Core developers acquire accurate agnate opinions to Song, including advancement associates of a meetup not to use their BTC to pay for dinner.

For those who apparent bitcoin early, bought bargain coins, and again watched their abundance accelerate already the blow of the apple bent on, the "store of value" anecdotal charge be appealing.

Those earning beneath $2 a day don't acquire the affluence of authoritative purchases on acclaim cards afore advantageous it off after in BTC.

Criticism for Jimmy Song's attitude came in blubbery and fast and from all quarters:

This is a song I wrote some years ago and is on my album Beauty of Grace. I'd heard about Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of Christ' and how graphic it was. Some Christians strongly recommended seeing it as it brought the reality of the crucifixion to life. However, the more realistic something is the more you think you've experienced it first hand. But the Christian faith is about commitment not emotional attachment; more about faith than experience.
The Passion of Christ is a dramatisation of an event, produced to create an emotional response. In that, there is nothing wrong but you cannot say you know Jesus if you've never met him in person.
I've created a video on YouTube to illustrate the song.
I know it very well: the carpets, curtains, paper on the wall, the living room and hall. But I have never lived there, never been at all. I've seen it on TV and it seemed like home to me.

If you want to carry a concealed weapon in Pennsylvania, you must have a license to carry firearms issued by Pennsylvania or an out-of-state permit accepted by Pennsylvania. Title 18 § 6106 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes makes it a third-degree felony to carry a concealed weapon without the proper permit.
Licensing Procedure
In most Pennsylvania counties, the county sheriff administers the licensing process. The exception is Philadelphia, where the Gun Permits and Tracking Unit — a division of the Philadelphia Police Department — handles the process. When you are ready to apply for your license, take your state-issued photo ID card or driver's license to your county sheriff's office. Fill out the required application and pay the fee, which is $26 in most counties as of June 2011. You also need to provide names and contact information for two references. Once you complete the application, the sheriff completes a background check to determine if you qualify for the license. If you pass the background check, you will receive your license in anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks, depending on the sheriff.
Nonresident Permits
In the past, Pennsylvania would issue permits to out-of-state visitors by mail. As of March 2011, the state no longer allows this. You must visit Pennsylvania and apply for the license in person. When you are ready to apply, take a copy of the concealed carry permit issued by your state to a county sheriff's office. You must provide two references and pay the $26 fee just as a Pennsylvania resident would. Chester, Columbia, Mifflin, Tioga, Washington, Clinton, Greene, Montgomery and Union counties do not issue nonresident permits, so you must apply for the permit elsewhere in Pennsylvania.
Twenty-five states recognize Pennsylvania concealed carry permits as valid. This means someone from Pennsylvania can carry concealed firearms in those states, provided she has a valid license. Some states do not honor Pennsylvania concealed carry permits. They include Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, Maine, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Ohio, South Carolina, Alabama, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas. Even if you have a valid Pennsylvania license to carry a firearm, you cannot carry one in these states.
A valid license to carry firearms gives you the right to carry a weapon concealed in your car or on your person, with a few notable exceptions. Title 18 § 913 makes it a crime to possess a firearm in a court facility. Section 912 prohibits the possession of firearms on the grounds of an elementary or secondary school. State law also prohibits the possession of firearms in detention centers and casinos.

TOKYO (MarketWatch) -- Philip Morris International is offering to buy Indonesian tobacco company PT HM Sampoerna for about 48 trillion rupiah ($5.2 billion).
The unit of Altria Group MO, -0.24% agreed to buy 40 percent of Indonesia's third-largest tobacco company for 10,600 rupiah ($1.13) a share, or 18.6 trillion rupiah, from principal shareholders, Philip Morris said in a statement late Sunday.
The overseas unit of the U.S. tobacco giant made a public offer to buy the remaining 60 percent for the same price, which would represent a 20 percent premium to the Indonesian company's March 10 closing share price on the Jakarta Stock Exchange.
"Our investment in Sampoerna is a great opportunity to significantly expand our business in the world's fifth-largest, and growing cigarette market," Philip Morris International's president and chief executive officer Andre Calantzopoulos said in the statement.
The all-cash purchase, which would include debt of $160 million, would be "modestly accretive" to Altria's 2005 earnings per share, Philip Morris said.
Putera Sampoerna, president commissioner of Sampoerna, was quoted in PMI's statement saying the offer was "an excellent development for our shareholders and employees."
Sampoerna's estimated domestic tobacco volume totaled 41 billion units in 2004, generating net revenues of approximately 9.0 trillion rupiah ($1 billion), according to Philip Morris. Its operating income was estimated at approximately 3.1 trillion rupiah ($360 million) in 2004, up 19.5 percent from the previous year.
Sampoerna has strong kretek cigarette brands, including Dji Sam Soe and A Mild, and held a 19.4 percent share of the market in 2004.
Credit Suisse First Boston CSR, -1.35% was a financial advisor for the transaction, Philip Morris said.

When you are buying a vehicle – or making any different large purchase, either – a down payment can help you assemble equity in it. Nonetheless, the amount you provide may ultimately determine whether this is you will at any point possibly be underwater on your car loan package.
What does the term "underwater" signify, exactly? In the regards to car financing, it truly is when you owe more income on the loan versus the current market value of the automobile. In order for a down payment to lead you to have equity in a vehicle, it needs to outweigh the price tag on depreciation as well as the worth of the interest rate within the loan.
So, while having $500 completely ready for a down payment could possibly allow a bank to approve you for a car loan, it probably will not keep you from becoming underwater on that financial loan at some point. A brand new automotive loses at least 20% of their value in the first year of ownership, along with at least 10% of that going on the moment you leave the automobile lot.
With that said, pros state that you need at the least 20% of the sale cost to narrow the gap between the actual cash importance of the vehicle and the amount you will owe about the loan. In order to decrease this problem further, the proper scenario would be to add 30% of the vehicle's value as a down payment.
Ways in order to Supplement a Low Cash Down Payment
- Trade in your outdated vehicle
Your current vehicle could assist as part – or all – of your down payment, dependant upon its value. If the car is paid down or has value, that value does apply to the purchase of your next vehicle. Before going to any dealer to trade in the vehicle, check to see precisely what the current market value can be. A good site to make use of is kbb.com. Along with, in order to get the most legitimate estimate, be honest on your own about the condition on the vehicle. Other outside the house factors that will customize the value are your place and the demand for your unique model.
- Rebates may help
In some cases, cash rebates can help you supplement a portion of the down payment on a car or truck purchase. However, make sure you remember that subprime lenders won't allow you to use hard cash incentives to satisfy the down payment requirements.
When anyone combine either of the with your available hard cash, it may be possible to avoid being underwater on your after that car loan.
The Bottom Line
Having an advance payment ready, whatever the amount of money may be, is always the good thing. Auto Credit Express has been connecting car buyers who currently have bad credit with retailers that have the resources so you can get them financed speedy for over a decade.

Another Look at a Book in the Hand
2 comments:
- Bruce Schauble said...
First thoughts:
1) It's hysterical. Thanks for posting it.
2) It does point out in a very pointed way how features of new technology which are straightforward and obvious to one person may be completely mysterious to another, for any one of a number of reasons ranging from simple unfamiliarity to blind spots in one's thinking to willful and sometimes belligerent ignorance.
3) One implicit challenge is to all of us who are trying to find our own way through new technologies, much lead others down that path, is how to find the patience and good humor to stay with it long enough that the new technology becomes as much a part of the pattern of daily life as, say, opening a book. As recently as two years ago there were teachers at my school who were refusing to access their email accounts because they couldn't see the point of doing so. Now I think pretty much everyone "gets it." But blogs? Wikis? Daily use of laptops in the classroom, starting next year, when all of our freshman students will have them? It's all terra incognita. Here there be tygers.
As far as the question of what constitutes knowledge, you may want to look at this wiki, which I just received a link to today:
- February 11, 2007 at 6:03 PM
- evan said...
i think to some extent, the massive amounts of uncredited or vaguely-credited knowledge (especially if you consider the categories of knowledge described in the knowledge wiki bruce mentioned) distributed to each of us through any media from billboards to blogs forces us to become more critical of mass-distributed knowledge. louann, your apprehension over passing along messages of unknown origin is valid, since any assumptions or knowledge we have of the source necessarily impacts the way we interpret the message, and thereby acts as our basis for assigning value. however, often we misinterpret messages/knowledge because of the assumptions and oversimplified critical processes we employ.
as scott mccloud writes in his graphic text, Understanding Comics, "that's why i decided to draw myself in such a simple style." [eyeless glasses, solid hair, 2-dimensional, no shading] "would you have listened to me if i looked like this?" [realistic self portrait] "i doubt it! you would have been far too aware of the messenger to fully receive the message!"
in an increasingly collectivist world, doesn't it make sense that we should accept more and more information from the world at large, rather than demand source identification so we might store these sources and their messages in convenient pre-labelled containers?

Campaign 2000 examines the factors that determine whether or not lone mothers decide to enter into or return to the workforce. It specifically analyses the relationship between reliable child care and lone mothers' attachment to the labour force.
Excerpt from the summary:
What determines whether or not lone mothers decide to enter into or return to the workforce? How do they weigh the interconnected issues of employment, child care and family life in arriving at a course of action? For those who do enter the paid workforce, what role does child care play in supporting their continued attachment to employment and helping them achieve increased responsibilities in their jobs? These are the main issues this study set out to explore, using first hand stories and experience of lone mother themselves.

When a smartphone user opens Angry Birds, the popular game application, and starts slinging birds at chortling green pigs, spies may be lurking in the background to snatch data revealing the player's location, age, sex and other personal information, according to secret British intelligence documents. In their globe-spanning surveillance for terrorism suspects and other targets, the National Security Agency and its British counterpart have been trying to exploit a basic byproduct of modern telecommunications: With each new generation of mobile phone technology, ever greater amounts of personal data pour onto networks where spies can pick it up.

She is a star
who is in the swing
of late evening
turning to morning.
A veritable Venus she
for every sailor-on-life's-sea.
On the outside world
she could spit.
Inside her home
the candle's lit.
She'll read a bard
of the bedsit.
A glass of cheap wine,
she reads what's writ.
Drink and poetry,
both make a hit.
The world is gone,
she's out of it.
She's in a dream,
not a bedsit.
There is a Poison Ivy,
but Toxic Cherry is the envy
of girls outside burlesque.
A cocktail that makes merry,
Becky is the cherry
on the stick in my glass.
She dances on a pole,
is always in control
of how she connects.
Some like it hot,
it is Cherry on top,
dance-pole or dance-deck.
Becky's is the art
of tearing hearts apart,
stockings and Trilby-hat.
A tonic is Miss Toxic,
her pole her cherry-stick ?
I do drink to that !

12:46 – Bill Nelson conceded his race to Nelson:
Nelson advisor Dan McLaughlin told supporters at Nelson's election night event at the Embassy Suites in Orlando that the campaign had concerns about ballot counting in several south Florida counties.
But just after midnight, the Nelson campaign said he would concede.
"This is obviously not the result Senator Nelson's campaign has worked hard for," said Pete Mitchell, Nelson's campaign manager. "The senator will be making a full statement tomorrow to thank all those who rallied for his cause."
12:28 – Keep an eye on Wisconsin and Scott Walker …
*holds breath* https://t.co/6R72Umm572
— Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) November 7, 2018
12:23 – Fox calls the MN AG race for Keith Ellison. That's … stunning, but it's part of a bad night for the MN GOP.
12:18 – The networks haven't called it, but the Miami Herald declares Rick Scott the winner in the FL Senate race:
Rick Scott did it again.
Powered by a highly-motivated Republican turnout and another $60 million from his vast personal fortune, Gov. Scott clinched a seat in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday and dislodged deeply-entrenched Democrat Bill Nelson from office.
Despite a record turnout for a Florida midterm election and widespread predictions of a Democratic "blue wave," Scott won his third straight statewide election.
11:55 – Jason Lewis is conceding MN-02 to Angie Craig. This district was slipping away from the GOP for the last several years. Lewis finished closer than polling would have indicated, but this is a disappointment more than a surprise.
11:41 – Just got new numbers in the MN AG race, and Wardlow now only trails by four points. The outstate vote is starting to make an impact.
11:39 – Jeff Johnson just delivered his concession speech here at MN GOP HQ. Starting to thin out here in the room.
11:21 – Scott Walker has closed the gap in Wisconsin, only back 0.8% with 72% of precincts reporting.
11:18 – Housley delivers a concession speech, pledging to unify after the election.
11:15 – Unfortunately, Karin Housley has lost her bid for the US Senate. Tina Smith had a much bigger lead than polling predicted, and that might be bad news for Doug Wardlow in his race against Keith Ellison. There's still a lot of votes in greater Minnesota, though.
11:09 – Fox calls MO Senate race for Josh Hawley. Claire McCaskill is trailing by 12 points with 75% of the precincts reporting.
11:04 – Worth pointing out that pollsters hadn't even given DeSantis a lead in this race, except for Trafalgar this morning. The RCP average was Gillum +3,6, but Gillum led nearly every single poll.
Update: Gillum concedes in Florida:
LIVE: Democrat Gillum concedes to Republican DeSantis in Florida gubernatorial race https://t.co/NAmmpCjnJ6
— Reuters Top News (@Reuters) November 7, 2018
10:56 – First big call on this thread: DFL keeps MN governor's office as Fox calls it for Tim Walz.
10:51 – We're not highlighting the governor races in Ohio and Georgia, but there's good news for GOP in both states. Ohio has been called for Republican Mike DeWine, who defeats Richard Cordray. Brian Kemp leads Stacy Abrams by 10 points with 84% of precincts reporting. Both of those were big spotlight races for Democrats.
10:43 – Scott's lead in Florida just went to 50.9/49.1. Still at 99% reporting.
10:37 – Jason Lewis is within two points of Angie Craig in MN-02 with 45% of precincts reporting. Still not out of range. Housley's way back, although we're mainly seeing Twin Cities Metro results.
10:33 – Not sure why MO hasn't been called yet for Hawley; he's up 16 points with 60% reporting.
10:30 – Jim Newberger says he won't concede against Amy Klobuchar until all the votes are counted.
10:23 – NBC and Reuters now projecting that Democrats will control the House. That's also not a surprise.
10:20 – ABC says the GOP will keep control of the Senate, based on their projections:

10:19 – The blue wave has not appeared, although it won't take much for Democrats to win a majority. And they might not get much, either:
Republicans are outpacing the 538 forecast by 2 points in the House. Currently seeing 222 D-213 R in the House.

10:14 – I've been following the governor's race in Wisconsin, and Scott Walker was nursing a narrow lead until very recently. He's trailing by four points now with 45% of the vote in. That's going to be a tough race for Walker; Tammy Baldwin easily beat Leah Vukmir for the Senate seat.
10:04 – With 30% in for MO, Hawley is up 61/36.
10:02 – Paulsen is delivering his concession speech now. Pledges to coordinate a smooth transition.
9:59 – Still no calls for Florida yet, but the gaps went back down; Scott's lead is down to 0.6%, but DeSantis is still up by a full point.
9:55 – MN-03 has been called for Dean Phillips, a loss of a House seat for the GOP and the end of the road for Erik Paulsen.
9:51 – Both Scott and DeSantis have slightly increased their leads in Florida now, 1% and 1.3% respectively. 99% in. Call coming soon?
9:39 – So far, the early results in MN are coming from MN-03, which is going big for the DFL, so all of the GOP candidates are trailing at the moment. It looks like Reps. Erik Paulsen and Jason Lewis are in big trouble.
9:33 – Gotta be close to calling FL gubernatorial race. DeSantis is up 1.2% with 99% reporting.
9:32 – Hawley up 59/38 with 15% reporting now.
9:20 – With 10% in, Josh Hawley's way out in front of Claire McCaskill in MO.
9: 19 – First results coming in from Minnesota now; Housley trails 65/31 with 4% reporting.
9:16 – The votes are coming in slowly from the remaining precincts, but it's not changing the gaps at all. Both DeSantis and Scott are narrowly leading.
9:09 – Sorry to see that Patrick Morrisey didn't quite make it in West Virginia.
9:06 – Going live on AM 1280 The Patriot now!
9:03 – NBC just called it for Amy Klobuchar. Not a surprise, but we don't actually have any returns yet.
9:01 – Polls are now closed in Minnesota as well as Missouri and Florida. We'll start getting some results shortly.
8:59 – It's funny — I would have guessed that Scott would be the stronger candidate but DeSantis is holding a slightly larger lead over Gillum thus far. He's still up 1.2% with 96% in.
8:56 – The FL Senate race has narrowed a bit, with Scott up 0.8% but 96% reporting.
8:40 – Scott's now pulling out to a full point lead with 94% of precincts reporting; DeSantis is up 1.2%.
8:30 – Missouri results starting to trickle in now; Hawley's up 2:1 but only 1% of precincts reporting.
8:26 – Fox shows DeSantis ahead by 0.4% with 93% of precincts reporting? That was a fast calculation. The NY Times has Rick Scott up 0.2% with 70% reporting. That's great news if it holds up, but get ready for recounts.
8:21 pm ET – Welcome to the live blog! I just arrived at Election Night HQ for the MN GOP. Just getting settled in, but I notice that we're already seeing a call for Sherrod Brown in Ohio. Florida polls just closed 20 mins or so ago, so I'll take a look and catch up soon.
Original post follows …
We're finally down to the wire in all the key races. The ads have been aired, the candidates have been heard, the memes have all gone viral — so now it's time to count the votes and then pick up the pieces. My Election Night coverage here will run in parallel with AM1280 The Patriot's live broadcast from Republican election headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota. I'm planning to do a few Facebook Live interviews and vignettes during the evening, so be sure to like our Hot Air Facebook page in order to get notified when I go live. (I'll try to embed them in the live-blog as we go along, too.)
I'll be watching Minnesota's races, of course, as well as Florida and Missouri. There are Senate pickups at stake for the GOP in all three states, and real shots at success in each one, too. Karin Housley's a long shot but still within range of an unimpressive appointed incumbent, Tina Smith, while Josh Hawley and Rick Scott are in tight races for flips. Florida and Minnesota have key gubernatorial races as well, and of course all three have lots of House races to follow to see whether the GOP can hold its majority.
There are also ballot initiatives in Florida, which my friend Jess Clackum helpfully boils down for us:
Basically, you can sum up the 12 proposed Constitutional amendments on the #Florida ballot with just one:#midterms2018 #electionday #FLVote #VoteTuesday pic.twitter.com/2Evgq9arNQ
— Jess Clackum (@JessicaClackum) November 6, 2018
Yeah … never mind. Turnout has been high all day in Florida, however, even with a massive increase in early voting this year. We'll see if that plays into the Trafalgar poll from earlier today.
Polls start closing in my states at 8 pm ET. I'll start live-blogging a little while after that, when I'm fully ensconced at the radio remote desk. Be sure to watch the top of the post for updates, latest on top, and listen to our broadcast!

Born and raised in the heart of Cajun Country Louisiana, "Laissez les bons temps rouler" (Let the good times roll) was the way of life. Every event centered on cooking, drinking, and dancing. I was exposed to alcohol at a very early age; a sip of beer from the adults here and there, to sneaking drinks from the liquor cabinets. As a child, I witnessed firsthand the destruction, devastation, and wreckage that alcohol and the alcoholic perpetrates on their loved ones. My father died at 52 due to poor health from a hard life of drinking. I swore that was never going to be me.
Throughout my adolescence, college years, and adult life, I struggled with overindulgence with alcohol and drugs. Long successful periods of manageability and abstinence, then the vortex of chaos would touch down leaving a trail of wreckage and destruction in its path. I again would swear off never to do it again, repair the damage, and forge forward. This cycle continued, however; the periods of manageability and abstinence became shorter as the years went by. The destruction, devastation, and consequences spiraled out of control. Despite the knowledge, firsthand experience, and all the willpower I could muster, I became a slave to alcohol and drugs.
Surely I was not an alcoholic/drug addict, I thought. Not me, I couldn't be. I had a family, beautiful home, vacation home; I was Vice President of a major company, had interest in several other businesses, and all the worldly assets one could dream of. Surely I could just walk away from this foolishness - I was a strong, self-made success.
In 2007, I had a near fatal accident, which required seven surgeries over 18 months. I was prescribed an unlimited amount of narcotic pain medication for 24 months. That event unleashed my addiction like I had never seen before. For six years, six agonizing years, I sank lower and lower, and life got darker and darker. The career, the businesses, the worldly assets, the family homes, and even the family all were consequences of my addiction, all just a faint memory. My life as I knew it was over: I had it all, and lost it all.
In my darkest hour, I reached out to someone I met in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous years prior. I had received my first gift in recovery, the Gift Of Desperation. This man, following step 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous came to my aide. He said I never had to feel this way again. He spoke of a life beyond my wildest imagination; all could be mine if I was "willing to go to any length to get it." I was ready, I was beyond ready, my best idea was to just give up and end my life. Surely, this was worth a try - it worked for him and countless others.
Off I went, didn't know where I was going, but was willing to follow Good Orderly Direction. I spent five months in a remarkable in-patient program. I worked, and worked, got honest, really honest, for the first time in my life, became teachable, became vulnerable and stayed willing. I followed Good Orderly Direction once again, and continued my recovery journey with eight months in a halfway house. This phase of my journey proved to be invaluable in acquiring, learning, and practicing the application of the tools to keep sober outside of the confines and safety of in-patient care.
Attending multiple 12-step recovery meetings daily, working through the steps with a sponsor, and developing a Higher Power of my own understanding began to give me hope that I was not "permanently broken." Still needing extensive work, and remaining willing to follow Good Orderly Direction, I enrolled in a relapse prevention intensive outpatient program for 14 months. Additionally, I enrolled my three sons and I in a one-week intensive to begin the repair process of the damage I caused in the pits of my addiction. The miracles of recovery were beginning to take effect in my life and the life of those around me. I later followed up, at the same facility, a one-week intensive to deal with some lifelong trauma issues, again, another miracle of recovery and willingness.
I have found freedom from drugs and alcohol by being the father I never had but always longed for to my sons today, being actively involved in twelve-step recovery, working with other addicts and alcoholics daily, volunteering, continuing individual therapy, and trusting and believing in a God of my own understanding. Today, I have a life that exceeds anything and everything I have experienced or dreamed of.
My journey from the beginning as a young adolescent, to my business successes and failures, my experience as a father, my journey from the gates of hell to a life so abundant, has prepared me to offer my experience, strength, hope, and guidance to those willing to follow the path to freedom that is available to all.

London Met's online Master of Business Administration (Top-up) (MBA) course is for those who have already acquired a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership (or equivalent) from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) or equivalent and also have a minimum of two years' proven management work experience. The programme is designed to enhance your learning with support from a team of experienced academic tutors, and it is accessible from anywhere in the world.
The MBA (Top-up) is a distance learning course that allows greater flexibility for learning. Teaching and project supervision take place online via Skype, email and telephone with a dedicated team of London Met academic staff.
You'll develop both theoretical and practical knowledge through two key modules. This will improve your analytical skills and give you more confidence when communicating complex ideas and business analysis.
We'll also teach you the necessary leadership and strategic management skills to design, plan, organise and deliver an individual research report at a professional standard.
The course is assessed through a 5,000-word research proposal and a business consultancy project report of 8,000 to 10,000 words.
You will be required to have:
You will also need to indicate your proposed research topic in the personal statement on your application.
Because this is a distance learning course, you will be able to complete the course from your own country of residence.
To study a degree at London Met, you must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. If you require a Tier 4 student visa you may need to provide the results of a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as Academic IELTS. For more information about English qualifications please see our English language requirements.
If you need (or wish) to improve your English before starting your degree, the University offers a Pre-sessional Academic English course to help you build your confidence and reach the level of English you require.
The modules listed below are for the academic year 2019/20 and represent the course modules at this time. Modules and module details (including, but not limited to, location and time) are subject to change over time.
Year 1 modules include:
This module is the essential integrative and concluding module for the MBA course and involves all MBA and MBA pathway students. It seeks to bring general and specialist areas of the course together and enable students to undertake a research project which investigates an organisational or a sector issue with the aim of making ethical and socially responsible recommendations for the future of the organisation or sector. The module also enables students to communicate the aims, process, findings and recommendations of the research in accessible and engaging formats suitable for diverse audiences.
The full report of the research project will be between 8,000-9,000 words in length. In addition students will produce a summary of the aims, process, findings and recommendations of the research suitable for communicating with a business audience (1,000 words equivalency). This will be in a medium of the student's own choice, and could be, for example, an article, a website, a video, a poster or a brochure. Each student will have completed a research proposal prior to commencing the module which should form the basis of the research project. The project will be agreed by the module leader and the student will then be assigned a supervisor.
This module is core for all MBA and MBA pathway students. An MBA programme has a significant role to play in developing its students as responsible and evidence informed management practitioners. This module challenges the criticism often levied at business research and the teaching of research methods by adopting a learning-centred, reflective and integrated approach. This will support all MBA students' understanding of research-informed practice and research methods. It will prepare them to undertake and to communicate a business research project which links context with management theory, evidence and practice. It will provide a firm foundation in the philosophical and practical factors that characterise business research, the opportunity to critically analyse and evaluate recent research studies and support the development of a research proposal. In this way it will support the development of the research-related management knowledge and skills necessary for professional development and the decision making processes appropriate to management practitioners
The course can provide entry into a variety of careers in UK and international organisations. Previous students have found employment in a range of public, private and third sector organisations, including roles in marketing, finance and general management. As well as securing new employment, the MBA has also helped others advance further within their current careers.
Please note, in addition to the tuition fee there may be additional costs for things like equipment, materials, printing, textbooks, trips or professional body fees.
Additionally, there may be other activities that are not formally part of your course and not required to complete your course, but which you may find helpful (for example, optional field trips). The costs of these are additional to your tuition fee and the fees set out above and will be notified when the activity is being arranged.
Use the apply button to begin your application.

Belize Foundation for Research and Environmental Education
Deep in the tropical broadleaf rainforests, the BFREE research station dedicates its work to preserving biodiversity and cultural heritage through research and education. The critically endangered hicatee turtle has been decimated due to poaching throughout Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. BFREE has a large outdoor facility used for captive breeding to preserve this species before it becomes extinct.
The hicatee turlte (Dermatemys mawii) is a freshwater turtle found in rivers and lakes from Mexico down to Belize. Due to overharvesting the hicatee has been decimated with little hope to recover the species in certain regions of Mexico. Breeding occurs during the rainy season and the females head out of the rivers and lakes to dig out nests along the shoreline. Captive breeding projects have been developed to help bring this species back from the brink of extinction!
Several hicatee turtles are housed in a large pond constructed by the BFREE team. The first project Jordyn (my fellow herpetologist and friend from the NPS internship) and I built nesting areas out of different substrate to study breeding behavior. At the end of our stay we rounded up all the adult turtles for health assessments. Each turtle was weighed, measured, and females were palpated to determine if gravid (pregnant!). It was easy to sex the hicatee because the male turtles have bright yellow heads. At that time none of the females were gravid but it was early in the project.
Since leaving the station back in 2014, exciting developments have happened with the hicatee project at BFREE. Females have laid clutches of eggs and turtles have hatched! This is an incredible achievement for BFREE and the hicatees!

Early Portuguese Martyrs Killed During Roman Persecutions
|"Well, here we are. Where's the eculeus?"
They were tortured in alarming ways and finally killed. Their bodies were left for the scavenging beasts, but they refused to eat the saints. The prefect ordered them thrown into the sea, but the boat that dumped them had not yet reached shore before the holy corpses were found on the beach. Today, their relics are in Lisbon.
Not to be dismissive, but hagiomajor's full of stories like that. (Ouch, Maj! A little respect, if you please.)
However, their story can be enlightening to us in at least two ways. First, let's look at their names. Maxima -- speaks for itself, right? Verissimus -- the most truthful / greatest truth / highest truth? And Julia. Just plain old Julia. Can you guess which one was the middle child?
Among the many tortures to which they were subjected was the eculeus, also spelled equuleus. Although no solid description of the device exists, the name horse suggests it was something on which a person was restrained, perhaps limiting their breathing, while other nasty things could be done to them. It has been likened to the crux (cross), which seems to have been used in interrogating slaves as well as in executions.
The painting above, from Lisbon, shows the arrival of the three saints in Lisbon. Obviously, the Renaissance painter, Garcia Fernandes, knew little about Roman era attire.

Top officials from JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and the Federal Reserve have all turned up dead over the course of six days!READ MORE
"It is an insult to the public intellect that the media so readily pushes the official line that the deaths were all suicides given the unusual circumstances surrounding nearly all of those listed..."Exposing what lies beneath the bodies of dead bankers and what lies ahead for us
"Although the trail of mysterious and bizarre deaths detailed below begin in late January, 2014, there are others. Not only that, there will be more, according to sources within the financial world. Based on my findings, these are not mere random, tragic cases of suicide, but of the methodical silencing of individuals who had the ability to expose financial fraud at the highest levels, and the complicity of certain governmental agencies and individuals who are engaged in the greatest theft of wealth the world has ever seen."
