Michel Houellebecq's novel Submission raises important questions about the cultural crises of modernity. It reflects on the dialectics of post-secularism and post-democracy in ways that have become particularly salient in light of the terror attacks in Paris and San Bernadino. Today on TELOSscope, we conclude our series of discussions of the novel with the following contribution by Ellis Hanson. See also the earlier posts by Vincent Lloyd, Michael Allan, Alex Dubilet, and Giuseppina Mecchia.
However improbably, Michel Houellebecq's novel Soumission returns continually to the work of Joris-Karl Huysmans for inspiration, if one can call it inspiration, this exercise in disillusionment seeking its literary echo. All the more surprising is Houellebecq's insistence on a view of Huysmans that scarcely anyone, even those who have read his best work, will recognize, despite its being scrupulously accurate in its biographical and literary detail. When Huysmans is read today, it is almost invariably as the quintessential Decadent of À rebours, which Houellebecq touches upon only lightly when he declares it a masterpiece and then declines to discuss it in any meaningful way except to ask where one goes, where Huysmans went, where Houellebecq's protagonist François might go, when his best work, his greatest inspirations, and his greatest dissipations are behind him. "In the case of Joris-Karl Huysmans," the protagonist worries, "the obvious problem was what to do with À rebours. Once you've written a book of such powerful originality, unrivaled even today in all of literature, how do you go on writing?" Houellebecq even seems to be inviting us to contemplate his own midlife crisis as a novelist and wonder if, after writing the great novel of cynicism in our time, after exploring in painful detail better than anyone else all the great whatevers of modern anomie, he has simply run out of fresh disillusionments to anatomize in prose. His answer to his own question is quite simply Durtal, Huysmans' other great literary accomplishment, the autobiographical alter ego around whom he focalized a series of somewhat mystical, somewhat Naturalistic, somewhat Decadent novels of Catholic conversion that occupied him for much of the two decades that followed the success of À rebours.
But what does either Huysmans or Durtal have to do with Houellebecq's dystopian satire by which French politics and society are too effortlessly refigured in the year 2022 by a conservative Islamic revolution? Houellebecq seems to have mashed together two very different books: one a dreary campus novel about a disillusioned academic who ironically relives the subject of his dissertation, and the other a Swiftian political satire about Islam and the decline of French civilization. All these two narratives have in common is cynicism, and the touchstone for it is Huysmans. The Decadent movement in literature, as typified in the late nineteenth century by such French writers as Baudelaire, Barbey d'Aurevilly, Verlaine, and Huysmans, does indeed begin with an assumption that, like a human being, a nation and its literature have an infancy and a prime—but also a senescence, when its passions are too exhausted, its sophistications too subtle, its dreams too feverish, and its morals too compromised. The modern empires of Europe will go the way of ancient Rome, yes, but what of this marvelous music they will play as they commence to burn? The myth of Decadence and imperial decline has not ceased to entice us, though we have been through two world wars since Huysmans wrote and seen empires rearrange themselves along different lines many times. Houellebecq renews the myth for us in a satirical mode: modern French culture has declined so far, is indeed so weary of itself, that an Islamic revolution would be welcomed with a shrug, since a new Muslim Europe would at least bring France closer to its own medieval and imperial grandeur, which it long ago betrayed. Houellebecq's contempt for Islam makes this scenario all the more bitterly ironic: the antidote is, for him, even more toxic than the problem, though the protagonist of this novel, the aptly named François, has eminently reliable powers of rationalization and self-delusion that help him make the best of it.
To consider a conversion to Catholicism, or for that matter to Islam, as somehow the opposite of Decadence would be a mistake. A great many writers and artists whom we deem Decadent were in fact converts or seriously contemplated conversion, and they were Decadent stylists before, during, and after: not only Verlaine, Barbey, Rimbaud, and Huysmans, but also Oscar Wilde and most of the Decadent writers in his orbit. Catholicism was not the antidote to their Decadence, but a frequent vehicle for its poetic mysticism: without sin there is no hope of transgression, and without the spirit there is no hope of ecstasy. Huysmans is the ideal illustration for this paradox: before and after his conversion, he is most Decadent when he is most Catholic, when his mysticism becomes an aesthetic passion, whether for Christ or for his alter ego, Satan. Instead of focusing on Huysmans as a Decadent stylist—on his aestheticism, his lapidary vocabulary, his tortuous syntax, his esoteric knowledge, his perverse sensuality—Houellebecq evokes instead the often overlooked ordinariness of the man himself (a career civil servant, after all) and on his struggle for religious faith in a world whose vulgarity and dullness disgusted him.
Houellebecq's prose is simple and accessible, even pedestrian by comparison with the style of À rebours. Oddly, despite his apparent expertise on the subject, François is scarcely concerned with the style or aesthetic obsessions of À rebours. He shows a much greater affinity for the plainer, drearier Naturalism of Huysmans' earlier novels and the duller stretches of the Durtal novels—the Huysmans that hardly anyone reads anymore. Most critics praise En rade, the novel after À rebours, for its jarring and surreal dream passages, but François finds them a nuisance: "It would almost seem that he was trying to go back to Naturalism—the sordid Naturalism of the countryside, where the peasants turn out to be more abject and greedy even than Parisians—if not for the dream sequences, which interrupt and ultimately hobble the story, and make it so impossible to classify." Usually a professor of literature would find that impossibility of classification further evidence of the novel's originality and appeal, but Houellebecq is unaccountably eager to turn Huysmans back into the author he first was, a lame version of Zola without the political insight, social range, or narrative urgency of the master of Naturalism. He reads Huysmans' most disturbing novel, Là-bas, not for its stylistic virtuosity, its satanic mysticism, or even its grotesque scenes of debauchery, but for its boringly comfortable passages about Maman Carhaix's good French cookery: Huysmans' idea of happiness, François argues, "was to have his artist friends over for a pot-au-feu with horseradish sauce, accompanied by an 'honest' wine and followed by plum brandy and tobacco, with everyone sitting by the stove while the winter winds battered the towers of Saint-Sulpice." Huysmans was certainly longed for good companionship and good digestion—who does not?—but the rest of Là-bas aspires to a more sublime and mystical level of experience that is comically beyond François's grasp, eager as he is to find the simple domestic pleasures so absent in his own life in the pages of one of Huysmans' most notorious novels.
Houellebecq and François are eager to turn Huysmans into a writer more like themselves. What François admires most about Huysmans' work is the intimacy it gives him with the author: "an author is above all a human being, present in his books, and whether he writes very well or very badly hardly matters—as long as he gets the books written and is, indeed, present in them." Huysmans lends himself well to such a perilously biographical and rather narcissistic practice of reading, not the least because all of his protagonists are more or less authentic versions of himself. Des Esseintes in À rebours is the least so, given his aristocratic dandyism, but Durtal is abundantly autobiographical and intimate company through four novels: a sophisticated, disillusioned, neurotic, cranky, chain-smoking spectator of life who contemplates a vulgar world in decline and envies the spiritual and aesthetic enthusiasms that entice his imagination but always fail to rescue him once and for all from the ennui, the despairing spiritual dryness, that is the most frequent of his many complaints. Houellebecq delights in the mise en abîme of this game of literary mirrors: he is writing about a writer much like himself (François) who is writing about a writer much like himself (Huysmans) who is writing about a writer much like himself (Durtal) who is seeking the mirror of his own aspiration or despair in every text or personality he contemplates. Houellebecq's satirical distance from François and François's ultimate betrayal of Huysmans give their identification with their subjects all the more pathos.
It makes sense that En route, Huysmans' relatively unexciting novel about his own conversion experience, should be the main focus of Francois's attention and the text that Houellebecq quotes at length for his epigraph: Durtal exclaims, "I have no desire to pray. I am haunted by Catholicism, intoxicated by its atmosphere of incense and candle wax. I hover on its outskirts, moved to tears by its prayers, touched to the very marrow by its psalms and chants. I am revolted with my life, I am sick of myself, but so far from changing my ways!" Yes, so Catholic, but what could be more Decadent than this passionate, unrelenting self-disgust? It is what also makes Houellebecq even more reliably Decadent than the modern culture he despises. Durtal is genuinely enchanted by the religion of his childhood, yet prayer eludes him, ennui reasserts itself, and his mystical vision fails. This refrain rings repeatedly though all of the Durtal novels, before and after Huysmans' conversion, even once he feels he finds a place for himself as a Benedictine oblate, a sort of monk manqué who would still be allowed to write and smoke the way he wants. As Huysmans himself correctly pointed out, the same struggle is evident even in À rebours, which concludes on a similar note with Des Esseintes's more famous prayer, which would have served equally well as an epigraph for Soumission: "Ah! but my courage fails me and my heart is sick within me!—Lord, take pity on the Christian who doubts, on the unbeliever who wants to believe, on the galley-slave of life who puts out to sea alone, in the night, beneath a firmament no longer lit by the consoling beacon-fires of the ancient hope!"
François comes closest to this sort of earnest plea during a church visit that is inspired by Huysmans, though it is less a pilgrimage than a mere vacation from the Islamic revolution at home. As he stands before the Virgin in the Chapel of Our Lady and listens to a recital of a trite religious poem by Péguy, his cynicism is still in evidence, but he finds himself in "a strange state" of mystical appreciation that he finally attributes deflatingly to hypoglycemia. Still, he feels he recognizes in her "something mysterious, priestly, and royal that surpassed Péguy's understanding, to say nothing of Huysmans's." But the feeling recedes into disillusionment, as it does for Durtal in the epigraph from En route. This scene is analogous to another passage in En route where Durtal, wakened by a wet dream that he attributes to a succubus, goes out for a cigarette and literally stumbles upon a group of monks in ecstatic prayer. He thinks of one of them, "In this old man the soul did not even take the trouble to reform his physiognomy, to ennoble it; she contented herself in annihilating it with her rays; it was, after a fashion, the nimbus of old saints remaining no more about the head, but extending itself over all the features, pale, almost invisible, bathing his whole being." Huysmans speaks in the language of a great spectator, a great artist of mysticism, but one who remains envious of a power of transfiguration that he can glimpse but not embrace. François, by comparison, seems merely envious of this envy, since both the passion and the power of articulating it are mostly lost on him. In his final and most cynical act, his bad-faith conversion to Islam, he makes a mockery of Huysmans' conversion to Catholicism and brings his intense identification with the author to an end. It is not only his intellectual life, but also his opportunity for a spiritual and emotional transfiguration, that he abandons when he finally admits that his "long, very long relationship with Joris-Karl Huysmans" was over.

Keywords: Coastal 2 Story Custom Home with Pool
The Paradise Point was a perfect property for our two families. The two separate units allowed us to share the common areas like the swimming pool and still be able to retreat to the privacy of our living quarters. This coastal area of Kaloli Point in Hawaiian Paradise Park has 70 degree, sunny days and cool trade winds blowing off the ocean. This is a friendly neighborhood and the Miller's are helpful hosts. Highly Recommended!
We just arrived home after our 10 day stay. It was my husband, myself and our 2 year old grandson. We were greeted with the aloha spirit the moment we got out of our car and was treated beyond wonderful for our stay. Tonja baked fresh vegan cookies and brought us over some and boy were they good, she even brought our grandson over toys and some gifts (what a sweetheart). Thank you Tui for lending Colt your toys for our stay, your a wonderful young man.
The house is clean, comfortable and well cared for. The pool was crystal clear, the grounds are lush, beautiful and private. The home has everything a family needs and more.
We recently stayed here for a week with our 3 children (1,2 & 13) and can not wait to come back. We made so many memories swimming everyday in the pool and playing games on the beautiful deck! The location is also amazing. Hilo was an easy 20 min drive but we actually spent more time exploring some amazing spots in the other direction (near Pahoa) like Ahalanui Beach Park, Champagne Pond, Kapaho Tide Pools. The house is much closer to all of these awesome must see Big Island spots than Hilo which made it so convenient for our little ones and their napping schedules. The house is perfect for families with children, the pool is fenced in and the yard is so lush and beautiful. The owners Jack and Tonya are so nice and welcoming gave great suggestions on nearby sites to see. Tonya even brought over fresh fruit from their mango tree. We will definitely be coming back to the Big Island and staying at this beautiful house again. It is definitely home away from home and we would recommend this house to anyone wanting to see the beautiful big island of Hawaii.
What a welcoming and warm house this is! We feel so fortunate to have found it. Tonya, Jack and Tui embody the Aloha spirit . They are very helpful and available but also are respectful of their guest's privacy. The setting is lush and quiet. Tonya is an artist and has a wonderful sense of color. Be sure to look at her prize-winning photograph in the lower living space.The two levels give so many options for a family or group of friends. The house is clean and well appointed , as well as beautiful. The saltwater pool is also very well maintained and it was so great to take a dip any time of day. Our grandchildren loved it. We have family in Hilo and it is about a half hour drive into town, maybe more during rush hour. We love exploring Hilo and its fantastic farmer's market. It is an easy trip to Volcano Park. There is a great Italian restaurant in nearby Pahoa. We grandparents enjoyed the peace and quiet but there were many opportunities nearby for the more adventurous members of our family. We returned the next year, after our first stay, and it felt like coming home.
Our family of 4 came with Grandparents and had a terrific time here. The rental is great and the pool too! The two floors make it like two rentals in one. Very handy to have the space (and blow up beds to use if wanted). The home was comfortable, clean, and Jack and Tonya were quick in responding to emails and questions. A Grandparent was sick and Tonya even brought over some soup! It was also great to have a Master bedroom on the lower level (with a shower and tub) along with everything else and all the amenities. Big hearts and we highly recommend this beautiful home. We went out to Pahoa (saw the lava that stopped at the transfer station). Enjoyed jogging in the neighborhood and seeing the sights. Volcano, Hilo (Tsunami museum and Lyman museum), Mauna Loa Mac Nuts, South Point, Buzz's Honey and Parrots, & PunaLuu for bread, cookies & ice cream. We put on a LOT of miles on our rental car! Always nice to come home to the rental and pool!
I stayed a week at Jack & Tonya's wonderful home. It was quiet, peaceful & spotless. My husband & I are familiar with the area as we vacation in Puna 1-2 times a year since 1996. So sometimes we want to spend a whole day not even leaving the rental and just relaxing and forgetting about our hectic city life. This was a great spot to get away from it all. Somedays we would hike in Volcano, out to Shipman Beach or just around Puna and somedays we just stayed at the house relaxing by the pool and soaking up warm Puna sunshine. Every morning started with a walk to the cliffs to watch the morning waves and every evening ended with a walk to the cliffs to have a "Puna" sunset. Tonya was very attentive and helpful. We really enjoyed talking with Tui (what a brilliant, insightful and all around cool kid!). And we totally fell in love with Bebe the dog. If you are looking for a home base to explore the East side or just a place to kick back and chill for a week, this is the spot.

Booting is one of the initial tasks for any device, means when your device gets booted it loads critical system files and operating system. It is common for any device with an operating system installed. If you have used any iOS powered device like iPhone or iPad, you might have noticed a boot screen logo on your iPhone, iPad or iOS 8, 8.1 phone screen while starting the device. This is by default apple's boot screen logo that comes pre-loaded with every iOS running device.
Boot screen logos or animation may look boring after some time of the use. Watching it daily or frequently each time during the restart of the device may make you wonder why, why we have it on our phone? The boot logos or animation keeps you engaged when the iPhone or iPad is preparing for startup. Well, Apple could have removed the Boot screen logo, but wouldn't you rather have a boring boot screen animation than a black screen? My vote for the logo.
So, what's the solution? Well, you can change the boot screen animation and replace it with your preferred logo or animation. Now, if you want to change the boot logo or customize it with the one you like, you gotta tweaks a few settings. But, before that, remember that you should have jailbroken your iPhone or iPad. Jailbreaking your iPhone is like rooting an Android phone, which gives full access to any device.
For installing Custom boot logo in your iOS 8 / 8.1 running iPhone and iPad, you can make use of a Cydia tweak called Animated iOS 8. This tweak allows the iPhone users to add animated custom boot logos to their jailbroken iPhone. Before you proceed to make sure that you read the pre-requisites to add custom Boot Logo to iOS 8.
Add custom boot logo to iPhone and iPad
Step 1: Prerequisites
- Jailbroken iPhone and iPad
- iPhone or iPad running on iOS 8 and above
Step 2: Add Custom Boot Logo to iPhone / iPad on iOS 8
1. Begin by launching Cydia on your phone and type in "Animate iOS 8". Press and search for Animate iOS 8 tweak in Cydia.
2. Wait until the search completes and you see the teak listed on your screen.
3. Now you have to install that tweak. Tap on Animate iOS 8 to install it.
4. The tweak should take few seconds to install. However, wait till it is successfully installed.
5. Now go to Settings App from Home, scroll to the bottom and tap on BootLogo.
6. This would list the available boot animations. For now you can only see two boot animations came with the tweak. However, you can add more boot logo animations from Cydia store.
Step 3: Download and Add More Boot Logo Animations
1. If you are in the Settings app, close it.
2. Now get back to Cydia. Next, tap on Sources and then BigBoss repository.
3. Next, tap on Addons section. In the boot logo section, you should be able to see all the Boot logo animations available for your device.
Now all you have to do is filter the boot logos which fits your device. There are hundreds boot logo's available for different device and screen sizes. You can find the best boot logo for your iPhone or iPad by doing a bit of research. Once you find the one you need, download and add them to your device.
Once downloaded, head back to Settings > BootLogo and select the boot logo that you want to set as default in your iOS 8 device.
Now switch off your phone and turn it on to see your custom Boot logo in iPhone in action.
Once thing to notice here would be that using custom third-party boot logo's in your device can make the booting process slower. If you're fine with this, then there is nothing wrong in customizing your iPhone a bit by changing the boot logo. Do try this and let us know your views in the comments below.

Thread: toast crashing my app
toast crashing my app
I am tring to create a toast in my app. In my button I create (I create this outside of the main activity)
I call the toast in this way
Java Code:
CharSequence message = "Audio Bufferig, to cancle please click the back button"; int duration = Toast.LENGTH_SHORT; Toast userAlert = Toast.makeText(activity, message, duration); userAlert.show(); startAudio.start();
Java Code:
public void setContext(Context context) { this.context = context; try { activity = (Activity) context; } catch (ClassCastException e) { Log.e("MyApp","We are boned could not cast the context to an activity"); } }
Java Code:
MediaControl playButton = MediaControl.getMediaControl(this); playButton.setContext(this); this.mediaControl.setOnClickListener(playButton);
The crash happens on the "Toast userAlert = Toast.makeText(activity, message, duration);" line.
I will also note that this is in a separate thread then the UI of the app as the media is coming off the internet and I don't want to have the UI stalled when I pull the media.

eRaaaa, thanks, admittedly not the answer I wanted, but lets me get done what I want done, I just moved the Toast out of the button thread, and moved it in the the service thread that plays the audio.
Long and short, thanks eRaaaa, it is appreciated. Now how do I mark a thread as answered/solved.

It was one of the lead news stories last night and this morning…
Matt THE FRANCHISE Cassel seated on the turf at Arrowhead, dazed and confused, fans cheering his pain. The media and Chiefs players led by Eric Winston, say, "We are bad guys for doing that, cheering for an injury."
All due to Chiefs fan's frustration with being a national joke and loser with both the Royals and Chumps.
And poor Matt is just the scapegoat for the bigger picture. KC is a city that loves pro sports with no team to properly represent that emotion. Meaning, a pro team that can compete and win. Cassel, I'm sure is a good guy and NOBODY wants him seriously hurt, fans just want a real pro quarterback and it's been decades since we've had one.
Trent Green was above average, but not much.
Look, this is a new, tougher game – being a quarterback in the NFL these days. A quarterback has so much more going on in the game today. He has to worry about being stripped of the ball, that is now tried on every play. He has to read better trained defenses and fast. Players are bigger and stronger and they're coming at him. The list goes on.
Hh yeah, he has to memorize about 75 plays or more. If Matt had played in the Len Dawson era he might have been a good quarterback. Today he's far too slow, his arm isn't strong enough and his reads are poor. He means well but can't get it done.
It's that simple.
More importantly, we found that out in Year One with Cassel.
Too bad Chiefs GM Scott Pioli was to busy having the Arrowhead halls cleaned, phone taps installed and building his "I hate you" Carl Peterson list for who could and couldn't get into Arrowhead.
Good job Scott.
The man the fans really wanted to see on his ass was Scott Pioli.
It probably would have gotten really loud at Arrowhead if that had happened.
Here's a guy making $8 million a year with no clue. He has some of the leagues biggest busts in No. One draft spots. Tyson Jackson, Glenn Dorsey, John Baldwin, and now Poe Boy Dante.
None have done anything much. Jackson is the least called name in NFL history. He's a real joke as a number one draft pick. Pioli's off season moves have all but failed as well.
Kevin Boss is likely gone forever with an injury, running back Peyton Hillis is out for the season thus far (yes he played in game one, so). Only Eric Winston has showed up.
In other words, Pioli's overall grade is an F-
Add the Matt Cassel four year experiment with back ups like Brody Croyle (worst ever NFL quarterback, my God), Brady Quinn (oh boy, get ready), Ricky Stanzi, and well, the entire Chiefs quarterback core. They get an F.
Oh yeah, we did have Kyle Orton, but he disliked the organization so much he took a backup job at Dallas. Even knowing he would start in KC he left.
There are good general managers out there NOW.
It's time to let Scott Pioli go NOW. Clark call Bill Cowher, Marty, and 10 others. At least begin the search now.
Cowher had some nice things to say about the Chumps on NFL Network yesterday. He felt they had the talent to win the AFC West now (he must smoke weed on his off days). But hey, he still had the Chiefs in his heart. So maybe a huge GM/Coaching deal with him would fly.
Let's find out. There's a hero out there somewhere.

Puzzles come in many forms and in many levels for preschool students. The Match It! What Goes Together puzzle is a great puzzle for young students. The pieces are big. The pictures are colorful. The pictures can be easily identified. Students are instructed to match a picture with another picture that goes with it: a bee goes with the honeycomb. This is a great pre-reading skill for young preschool students.

We are very excited with MF2 because we started from scratch, with this we just drop out all the old code of the plugin and in the same time we take advantage of the new features of wordpress.
MF2 is pretty much more clean and small than mf1 and in consecuence less susceptible to bugs.
Part or the things to you will found with this release is:
Administration UI revamped: The administration pages have a new look and feel
Native Post types: No more write panels! now mf2 use a real post types.
Custom Taxonomies: Was added a new UI for add custom taxonomies.
Add Custom Fields into the default post types: now you can add custom fields into the default post types of wordpress (Post and Pages)
But all can't be good news, in function to use the new features of wordpress this plugin required at least wordpress 3.1 or newer and MF2 for the moment is not backward compatible with MF1.
So please not try to upgrade from mf1 unless to you know what are you doing.
Magic Fields 1 will continue alive
in the way to try to do magic fields the most simple and integrated with WP we let out a few features from MF1 and seems to some people use one or more of this features in mf1 so in the meanwhile to we re-added this features in MF2 we will continue giving support to MF1 and fixing any compatibility bug with the new versions of wordpress
if you will start a new project, please first check if MF2 fulfill your needs if not feel free to continue use mf1.
And if do you like this new version you can thank us with a donation.

Senate passes Enhancing Online Safety for Children Bill with strong bipartisan support
4 March 2015
The Abbott Government's Enhancing Online Safety for Children Bill 2014 has today passed the Senate with strong bipartisan support, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Communications, Paul Fletcher MP said today.
"This is a very significant milestone in the Government's work to make the internet safer for Australian children," Mr Fletcher said.
"The measures in the Bill implement the Coalition's 2013 election commitment to establish a Children's e-Safety Commissioner to take a national leadership role in online safety for children, and to establish an effective complaints system, backed by legislation, to get harmful cyberbullying material down fast from large social media services.
"It is very pleasing to see the bipartisan support for this Bill – which in turn reflects the message that politicians across the spectrum are hearing from Australia's parents, children and teachers about the importance of keeping children safe online – and doing more to protect children against the threat of cyberbullying.
"Research commissioned by the Abbott Government found that in a single year one in five Australian children between the ages of 8 and 17 were exposed to cyberbullying."
This Bill complements other Abbott Government measures to enhance online safety for children, including a commitment of $10 million, comprising $7.5 million for online safety programmes in schools, $2.4 million to establish and operate the Office of the Children's e‐Safety Commissioner and $100,000 to support Australian-based research and information campaigns on online safety.
Following final agreement by the House of Representatives which is not contentious and is expected to occur over coming days, the Bill will receive Royal Assent and pass into law.
The Government has already begun detailed implementation work but with the passage of the Bill this will now accelerate.
The Government expects to announce the appointment of the Children's e-Safety Commissioner in coming weeks. After that point, the next priorities will be to commence the operation of the Office of the Commissioner, which will include significant resources transferred in from other areas of the Australian public service, and then to implement the operation of the effective complaints system to get harmful cyberbullying material down fast from large social media services, which is expected to occur over the course of this year. More announcements will be made as key milestones are reached.

Welcome to TVSTyume Valley Schools (TVS) is a UK-based charity. Our vision is to improve the lives of children living in the Tyume Valley area of Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. We work with local schools to improve teaching and learning and open doors to future opportunities. Although more than twenty years since the end of apartheid, the legacy lives on in the form of badly maintained schools, lack of resources, poorly trained teachers and low educational achievement. This disadvantage is increased by the high unemployment and poor infrastructure in the rural Tyume Valley, which is about 120 km from the nearest airport in East London and 60km from King Williams Town, the nearest large town.

Story highlights
- Professor accused of setting fires at the high school his son attended
- The boy killed himself in March
- The father is being held without bail
A 48-year-old professor accused of setting fires at the Southern California high school that his son attended prior to the boy's suicide was also planning to kill students and administrators at the school, authorities said Tuesday.
Rainer Klaus Reinscheid, a professor at the University of California, Irvine, is being held without bail in the Orange County Jail until August 8, when he is to be arraigned, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
Reinscheid is charged with two felony counts of arson of another's property, two felony counts of arson of a structure, one felony count of arson of an inhabited residence, one felony count of attempted arson and one misdemeanor count of resisting or obstructing an officer, the prosecutor's office said in a news release.
If convicted he faces up to 12 years and eight months in state prison.
His 14-year-old son, who attended University High School in Irvine, was disciplined last March at the school, the news release said.
"Sometime subsequent to this, the defendant's son committed suicide in Mason Park Preserve in Irvine," according to the release.
Reinscheid is accused of committing five arsons and one attempted arson between July 4 and July 24 "by lighting various objects on fire including newspapers, fireplace logs, brush and vegetation, a book, and a plastic porch chair."
The arsons were committed on the campus of University High School, in the park where his son killed himself and at a school administrator's home, authorities said.
Reinscheid was initially taken into custody early on July 24, when Irvine Police Department officers saw him trying to set a fire in the park, according to the release. "When contacted by officers, Reinscheid is accused of refusing to comply with their orders to stop and attempting to resist arrest," it adds. He posted $50,000 bail and was released that day.
Three days later, detectives checking his cell phone as part of the investigation discovered e-mails written in April to his wife and to himself that described "his plan to burn down University High School, commit sexual assaults, purchase firearms and murder school officials and students, and then kill himself," the release said.
He was rearrested that night.
Reinscheid is the sole defendant and suspect in the case, the news release said.
His biography on the university's website says he is an associate professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the College of Health Sciences with a joint appointment in pharmacology and molecular biology and biochemistry.
In a letter to the campus community the university said, "As you can imagine with any personnel or legal matter, we cannot provide extensive information. We can assure you, however, that our campus will continue to do everything possible to foster a safe environment for our faculty, students and staff."
CNN was not able to determine who was representing Reinscheid.

I first started to see Jarno Tauvo's comments on Hockey Inside/Out, and I'm very grateful to learn that he comes here too.
And when I learned that he did, I contacted him because I was interested in knowing the path he took in becoming a solid Habs fan.
Below is Jarno, from Turku, Finland, who wrote back and explained.
"My native language is Finnish, but the lovely woman who lives with me speaks Swedish. So we speak mixed Finn and Swedish at home. Mostly the person who starts to speak first chooses the language (and she speaks a lot).
"It's quite common here in Turku to speak Swedish too, this is a bilingual city, only 160 kilometers from Stockholm (Sweden), and luckily we have that narrow sea between us. So most Swedes understand to stay on their side. My father didn't, he went to study to Sweden in the 60's, but was wise enough to come back.
"You asked how I became a Habs fan. Well…
It's not easy to explain, but I'll try.
"I was born in 1972.
When I was a child, everybody in Finland followed only skiing or ski jumping. At summertime, long distance runners were our heroes. News from NHL was normally a week old, if there was any at all. I remember reading different hockey books at the library wondering how cool it looked to play hockey in the NHL.
"Ice hockey was (and still is) quite an expensive sport to have as a hobby. I have to admit I was a fortunate one, because my parents could afford to pay my hockey hobby.
"That was the time when every Finnish boy was a huge fan of Jari Kurri and Esa Tikkanen in Edmonton. I talked with my father about hockey and the NHL. He told (lied probably) me that Gretzky wears #99 only in honour to the greatest ever, #9, you know who. He also told me that Montreal Canadiens are the only real hockey team that has been around almost as long as hockey has existed and it is the reason why there is that game of hockey I like to play and watch. That's probably the moment when I started to search for information about Habs.
"I was extremely happy when Jyrki Lumme was drafted by Montreal. It was at the time when Finnish television aired only Stanley Cup finals. Almost through the whole 90's, it was the only the Finals we could see. So I've seen the Avalanches, Red Wings and Devils 'domination. Before the internet I had seen only one Habs' Final game, vs the Kings.
"I became a real "Hardcore Habs fan" when Saku moved from Turku to Montreal. I'm the same age as the older Kiprusoff brother, Marko, who had a short stint there too. He was almost my childhood neighbour. Those were the days when a Finnish hockey legend Timo Nummelin lived in the same building with our family. He has a son Petteri Nummelin, who has played a lot with Team Finland. Petteri plays still in the Finnish elite league "Liiga" at age of 41.
"Suddenly one cable television company from Sweden started to air NHL in Finland too and I had to purchase their package. The only bad thing was that Detroit and Colorado had too many Swedes, so they showed mostly their games. On a plus side, Toronto had Sundin and they played often against the Habs. Thanks to Sundin, I saw those games and a game here and there.
"One of my biggest emotions in a hockey game was to watch Saku's comeback game vs. Ottawa. Live. I sat on a couch, eyes full of tears, amazed by the standing ovation the Bell Centre gave to him. Then I was sure that being a fan of the Montreal Canadiens means much more than just supporting a team. It is a worldwide community. At the same time when the Bell Centre was celebrating Saku's comeback from cancer, I lived the same emotions at home, wiping tears and screaming when Craig Rivet scored and rushed to the bench to hug the captain.
"I'm not sure how I became a fan, but maybe that isn't so rare not to know? As an example, my hometown has a two hockey teams. TPS and TuTo. TPS is like the Habs in Finland. Finns say about Finnish hockey: Game lasts for 60 minutes and at the end TPS wins. Although the last couple of seasons they have been suffering. Finland is a small country with only a little more than 5 million people here and the NHL-players from TPS include the Koivu brothers, Kiprusoff brothers, Jani Hurme, Jere Lehtinen, Kimmo Timonen (started here as pro) Joni Ortio, Rasmus Ristolainen, etc…
"But still my hometown favourite team is TuTo. I don't know why. They are not a bad rival, because TuTo plays in second highest level. But it's small and nice team where everybody knows each other.
It's cool that I work a little with them too. I'm a photographer and I've taken their group photos and commercial photos. My photo studio is also a minor sponsor to them… It's nice that they play well and are the best team in their league, but still. When Habs win, Habs win. TuTo's headcoach is Artturi Lehkonen's dad, Ismo Lehkonen. He kept joking about my Habs's shirt to me, when I was shooting their group photo.
"Here's some shots from Turku, Finland. The big and old building is the church which is from 1300 century. The river in the photos is the River Aura, that floats in the middle of Turku. It normally freezes in the winter. I Just noticed I don't have photos from Turku at the summer."

Survey Question: If you had to have your gall bladder taken out would you cut all the bad fats out of your diet or
I had my gallbladder out many years ago. It will change your eating habits. Learn what hurt you and then cut them out or reduce them. Some people have little to no effects. I did with many foods and had to stop eating many things.
You have to stick to a strict diet, as your body cannot produce bile anymore.Both my mom and brother had theirs removed.
Defo, need to looj after your body,,we only have the one.
I'd cut down on cheese and peanut butter, because they are my main sources of fat. I wouldn't try to live totally fat free, though, because it wouldn't be healthy.
I hope you feel better soon, and i hope you can eat potatoes and sour cream.
I had mine taken out...if I had a time machine I would have definitely followed a better diet for so many reasons...food (bad) food can be your enemy!

Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) has lined-up experts to host intellectually stimulating public events in April. An integral part of HBKU's objective to enrich the quality of discourse nationwide, public events at HBKU provide platforms for constructive dialogue and interaction among professionals, industry experts, scholars, and members of the resident community, on a wide range of subjects.
HBKU's College of Law and Public Policy (CLPP) will be hosting three events at the College of Islamic Studies (CIS) building. The lectures will be delivered by Dr. Pierre Legrand, Professor of Law and Director at Sorbonne's Postgraduate Program in Comparative Legal Studies. He is specialist in the field of comparative law, which addresses trends in globalization and legal pluralism. The first and second lectures, taking place on April 5 and April 12, are titled respectively "The Normative Relevance of Foreign Law" and "Foreign Law as Speculation." Both events explore, within the context of divergent views on privacy law, how a preference for one legal model over another has ramifications on our view of what constitutes as foreign law. On April 19, the public is also invited to attend a lecture on "Tracing Foreign Law," which aims to illustrate the empowering, or restrictive, effects of established legal statutes.
On April 10, CIS is inviting the public to join a seminar to discuss "The Future of Islamic Studies." Prominent scholars, including Dr. Tariq Ramadan, will address current challenges and the future direction of Islamic studies as a field, including certain tools, standards, and criteria to track progress. Dr. Tariq Ramadan is the Executive Director of HBKU's Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics, and an accomplished researcher and writer in this field. His books include What I Believe and Radical Reform, Islamic Ethics and Liberation.
HBKU's College of Islamic Studies has planned a public lecture titled "Introduction to Islamic Finance" on April 12, which will take place at the college's building in Education City. The lecture will cover basic concepts that underpin financial models, institutions, and instruments designed to serve the Islamic community. This will include a discussion on the operational differences between Islamic and conventional financial institutions, and an analysis of Islamic financial tools and contracts. The lecture will be delivered by Dr. Abdelrahman Yousri Abdelrahman, Professor of Islamic Finance at HBKU's CIS and a leading researcher in the field of Islamic finance.
And on April 16, members of the public are invited to join students from HBKU and from the University of Southern California's Rossier School of Education for a book discussion at HBKU's CIS. The featured book, Policy Making in a Transformative State: The Case of Qatar, is the first to look into the policymaking dynamics in the country. Students will explore the nuances of the research and present their thoughts on the subject.

True Blood star Deborah Ann Woll stands by her man – and admires his drive.
The actress is dating E.J. Scott, 36, an activist who is slowly losing his sight and expects to be fully blind by age 50.
Scott is running marathons to raise funds and awareness about choroideremia, a degenerative eye disease that reduces sight to "tunnel vision" before ultimately leaving those who are diagnosed legally blind, reports Men's Fitness in its November issue, on newsstands now.
Scott – who has dated Woll, 27, for nearly five years – began running marathons to raise money for the disease in January 2012. He plans to run one marathon a month in a different state for 12 months.
"I thought he was very brave to be so open about it. I hadn't heard of the disease before I met E.J., and I was very moved by his story," Woll says. "I thought that anyone would could have such struggle in his life and still be positive and motivated is a very special person."
Scott learned he had the disease at age 27, when his younger brother (then 16) was diagnosed. He would soon learn his older sister was a carrier and his maternal grandfather also suffered from choroideremia.
"I was scared, really angry, and pissed that I was 27 years old and just hearing about it," Scott says. "It was screwing up my whole family because we all got tested at the same time. It explained a lot."
Despite his condition, Scott decided to move to Los Angeles to follow his dream of becoming an entertainer. Prior to his diagnosis, he had taken stand-up comedy and improv classes.
While living in L.A., Scott met Woll on an online dating site. After some correspondence, he invited her to see him perform. Scott later moved to Chicago to continue working in improv, but their relationship survived the distance.
Raising Awareness
Compelled to raise awareness for the disease that was gradually taking away his sight, Scott moved back to L.A. and began hosting stand-up comedy events for the Choroideremia Research Foundation. Then, he began running marathons to raise money.
"E.J.'s a big dreamer and most people who get big ideas have trouble following through. I know I do. But I learned very quickly that when E.J. puts his mind to something, he achieves it," Woll says. "When he came up with the idea for the 12 consecutive marathons, I knew it would happen."
But it hasn't been as easy as Scott had hoped.
"I'm raising a lot of the money on my own, auctioning DVDs on eBay and doing comedy shows in most of the cities," Scott says. "The donations have been less than I'd hoped."
Although Scott expects that he will eventually go totally blind, he knows his fundraising efforts won't be in vain.
"We've tried to get funding for this for close to 10 years," Dr. Jean Bennet, a scientist studying chororideremia at the University of Pennsylvania, says. "What he's doing could help thousands of people worldwide."

When you edit the /etc/inet/ipaddrsel.conf, file, any modifications that you make persist across reboots. If you want the modified policy table to exist only in the current session, follow this procedure.
Assume the Primary Administrator role, or become superuser.
The Primary Administrator role includes the Primary Administrator profile. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
Copy the contents of /etc/inet/ipaddrsel into filename, where filename represents a name of your choice.
# cp /etc/inet/ipaddrsel filename
Edit the policy table in filename to your specifications.
Load the modified policy table into the kernel.
# ipaddrsel -f filename
The kernel uses the new policy table until you reboot the system.

I have an old solid wood single divan bed frame basically basically a huge rectangle of wood with nothing in the middle. I was thinking of turning it into a raised bed but have so many young plants in the house its getting a bit mad, so thought a cold frame would be a good idea. I have some large sheets of glass I can sit on top.
I would just like some advise on how to get the best from it.
Is insulation required, etc?
Where is best to sight a cold frame?
I have a lot of raised beds at the side of the house but the only space left big enough for a single bed size cold frame at the side of the house does not get a huge amount of sun but it is shady and gets a little afternoon sun and next to the living room wall so possibly some residual warmth from house.
I could sight else where but that would be halfway down the garden more sun but less walls to protect.
Also what can i put out have lots of cues, courgettes, tomatoes and lettuce as well as peppers , Aubergines caulis and cabbages, and herbs in the house all raised from seed.

Gender violence: A look at female comic book characters
A previous version of this blog was posted on AAUW Dialog.
The other morning I was chatting with Alli, my friend and colleague at the American Association of University Women (AAUW), about a recent posting she read on Feministing about female comic book and graphic novel characters.
The post mentioned that while some argue that strides are being made for better representation of women in this particular medium, many comics and graphic novels still lag behind.
The Feministing post highlighted Power Girl, a female superhero with powers that rival Superman's, with an alter ego who works as a female CEO. While this all sounds well and good, comments on the post discussed other issues such as the extreme sexualization of the character:
Alli pointed out that the author makes an interesting note at the beginning of her post about the "women in refrigerators" syndrome, which refers to the de-powering of female superheroes. Generally speaking, when a female character loses her powers or is injured or attacked, she is less likely to bounce back.
Being a Batman comic fan, I thought of Barbara Gordon: After being paralyzed from the waist down, she gives up going out on the streets to fight crime as Batgirl and takes up the role of Oracle instead (whereas in Knightfall, Batman recovers from a broken back and continues fighting crime as Batman).
But how does this all relate to gender violence, specifically?
An image that comes immediately to my mind is the attempted rape scene in Watchmen. (It is present in both the graphic novel and the movie, but I'll just discuss the graphic novel depiction here.) While the sequence does not glamorize rape, it does contain victim-blaming language.
The Comedian (a.k.a. the perpetrator) justifies his attack by saying,
"C'mon, baby. I know what you need. You gotta have some reason for wearin' an outfit like this, huh?"
Of course, he is referring to the Silk Spectre's revealing costume.
Another member of the superhero group walks in after the Silk Spectre has been beaten to the ground and stops the attack. Even though he helps her out, he says to her as she's bleeding on the floor,
"Get up … and, for God's sake, cover yourself."
This solidifies the victim-blaming justification used earlier and reinforces the notion that, even though she's a crime fighter, she can still be degraded, overpowered, and controlled by men.
Even though she is strong, her power as a superhero — and as a woman — is taken away.
What do these depictions of female superheroes and comic book characters say about our society? How do they influence how the audience perceives women in real life?
Even if these women are powerful in fighting crime and in their personal lives, they are objectified. Even when they are a contributing member of the team, they are sexually violated and abused.
When there's room for so much growth and better representation for women in this medium, why are these recurring themes and plot devices still prevalent? Perhaps the answer is that with all the sexual violence that exists across the globe, these themes just mirror real life.

5 Responses to Gender violence: A look at female comic book characters
melissa on 01-26-2010While I think this critique is generally right-on and that female comic characters are grossly oversexualized and significantly weaker than their male counterparts, I think it's also really important to note that in Watchmen, Alan Moore is critiquing the very notion of superheros. I think the novel presents the attempted rape scene as a critique of gender role in comic books rather than a simple re-inscription of the norms. It does a really great job of showing the tension between the fantasy of sexy female heroes and the reality of objectified women. So, while the characters are blaming the victim, the book itself isn't.
Lauren on 02-06-2010That's not cool to bring Power Girl into this, do you know WHY she has the hole there????
You probably don't
: (
Not one of your Websites articles that I favored.
alaska on 02-06-2010Just wanted to note that Gail Simone does some awesome writing of women superheroes for DC, and she's back on Birds of Prey - which was the first series I could actually stomach that featured women. Sure, Black Canary wears fishnets and a black leotard, but she comments on how annoying those things are. There's Lady Blackhawk (Zinda Blake) who is never drawn with the traditional "cleavage" bodies - in fact, she's an awesome fighter pilot from WWII. Oracle can still kick a ton of ass from her wheelchair, not to mention on her computer. (They do a better job of dealing with disabilities than most tv shows.)
I think the problem lies not only with the story lines, but with the artists - you can see, for example, the difference in artists with the character of Huntress - in some, she's just as "naked" as Canary, in others, she looks more like Catwoman.
Cassandra Cain was an amazing Batgirl who overcame a lot of personal stuff to choose her own destiny in the end, fight against her "genes" and not become just objectified. And Stephanie Brown actually became Robin for a while, which is a different can of worms.
So I agree that some titles are still problematic, but I think with the introduction of more female-driven titles (BoP, Manhunter, Batgirl, Batwoman, Secret Six) women (and lesbians!) have made huge strides, and I love it when things like gender issues or sexuality isn't even raised as a concern - it's just part of the character - which is a huge step for this medium.
(side note: when Birds of Prey first started, Chuck Nixon was writing it. Canary got the traditional torture-rape-objectification storyline. You can tell immediately when Gail Simone took over, and the series all of a sudden is actually about girl power, and not being objectified for it - or, acknowledging the tradition of objectification and kind of throwing it back at them.)
alaska on 02-06-2010just to follow up on Power Girl - whether right or wrong - here are the main two reasons she gives for her hole in the costume and why she doesn't mind it:
"she receives the reply that the costume "shows what I am: female, healthy. If men want to degrade themselves by staring, that's their problem, I'm not going to apologize for it."
(which I think is an interesting twist of the objectification debate)
and she says to Batman in later issue:
"the first time I made this costume, I wanted to have a symbol, like you. I just…I couldn't think of anything. I thought eventually, I'd figure it out. And close the hole. But I haven't."
King on 09-16-2010Singling out Watchmen is unfair. If you'll recall, the story was being told in flashback by Hollis Mason, who does not blame Silk Spectre. He openly displays his disdain for the Comedian, not just for the act but for who he is as a person. The scene does not portray Silk Spectre as having deserved the attack. The characters of Comedian and Hooded Justice do.

It is interesting to reflect on the drama that surrounded the decision to assert national sovereignty. On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee proffered the initial resolution for independence to the Continental Congress. No immediate consensus emerged on its passage.
Debate on Lee's resolution only began in earnest on July 1, with some members of congress still hoping to reconcile with the monarchy. A clear split occurred: New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia voted for independence. South Carolina and Pennsylvania cast votes against it, Delaware's two delegates were divided, and the New York delegates declared they were ready to vote for the resolution but believed their instructions forbade them from doing so.
The next day, a momentous change took place. An additional delegate for Delaware, Caesar Rodney, who had been riding on horseback all night in the rain, arrived to break the tie, voting for independence. In his diary, future president John Adams describes Rodney as "the oddest-looking man in the world; he is tall, thin, and slender as a reed, pale; his face not bigger than a large apple, yet there is a sense of fire, spirit, wit, and humor in his countenance." This unusual looking fellow is reputed to have ridden a remarkable eighty miles, changing horses along the way, entering Independence Hall in his boots and spurs, still dusty, shortly before the doors of Congress had been shut at the opening of the day's session. Members of the South Carolina delegation had come to a consensus to vote for Lee's motion. Pennsylvania had nine members who were seated in 1775, but only seven of them were present in the hall on July 2. Two of them were no longer active in Congress. One of those two, Andrew Allen, had left in June and would become a British Loyalist. The other was on his deathbed. The "yea" vote for Pennsylvania was cast by only three of the delegates who were present, with two others voting against it. John Dickinson and Robert Morris were in the hall but abstained from voting, allowing the affirmative vote to stand. That left New York's delegation. But it did not vote either way, only adding its support several days later. Congress had now resolved,
That these United Colonies are, and, of right, ought to be, Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connexion between them, and the state of Great Britain, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.
That was the actual declaration of independence, which was adopted on July 2. The document that has come to be known by that name, the Declaration of Independence, was an explanation of congress's decision to absolve its allegiance to England and the nation's principles.

My job is to help with the long-lead planning for exhibitions, so I project-manage on the administration side related to deadlines, budgeting and some of our contracts. Basically, I do all the unglamorous admin paperwork that goes into producing an exhibition.
I did my undergraduate studies at University of Toronto at Mississauga. I took art and history because I was interested in both the academic side and the practical, studio side. I worked in galleries for a few years and then went back to school to pursue my master's in art history at York University. I did the diploma in curatorial studies and then ended up getting my master's in business administration at the Schulich School of Business.
My goal is to be a manager or a director of an arts organization. Having worked in curatorial and programming roles at museums all over the GTA, I saw the value of administrative expertise. There's also something to be said for taking two or three years to really look at the discipline of business and seeing how you can apply a lot of those principles to arts administration.
My specialization in my MBA was in organizational studies, and also in arts and cultural management. That gave me a strategic view of what issues small, medium and large organizations face so I can view the big picture and plan strategically for the future.
Very few managers in arts and cultural fields put in intense training in the area of organization studies and the management of people in the workplace.
What excites me most about my MBA is that it's something people will see on my resumé in five to 10 years that will assist me in getting managerial roles and responsibilities at larger arts organizations. I'm not reaping the benefits immediately, but I know the payoff will come down the road. The MBA gives you legitimacy when you're working with a board of directors, for example. It teaches you the language that a lot of your stakeholders speak.
You have to write the GMAT, which was kind of terrifying for me because I hadn't taken any math courses since high school. Schulich is one of the top-rated business schools in Canada, so the minimum GMAT score is actually quite high. I ended up having to write it a couple of times, but the second time was the charm.
The arts and cultural field in Canada right now is a very competitive market. I remember reading a statistic saying it takes eight months to find a job in the general workplace. I would say in the arts and cultural sector in Canada it takes much longer. I thought an MBA would give me a competitive advantage, but I also genuinely wanted to learn a lot about business, project management and strategic thinking.
