Jury consultant Jo-Ellan Dimitrius (Reading People) has a "personal hardness scale" to help make quick judgments about people. She asks if you've ever walked away from meeting someone thinking "What a jerk!" or "What a nice guy." She said at one end of her scale, it's "cold" and the other end is "hot".
Cold people are uncaring, critical, intolerant, unforgiving, harsh, punitive, and self-centered. They're analytical, scan the facts and make quick decisions. Their motto is "What's in it for me?"
The hot people are compassionate, generous, fair, sincere, affectionate, gentle, forgiving, family-oriented, and understand human frailty. They give the benefit of the doubt, are patient, and inquisitive. They don't want to hurt anyone and want to do the right thing.
Dimitrius said that if she can peg someone quickly on this scale, it tells her how they are likely to think and behave and how to communicate with them.
And that's before you even open your mouth: Princeton psychologist Alex Todorov found that within 1/10 of a second of seeing your facial features, people have already made a judgment about whether or not they are attracted to you, if they can trust you, how competent you are, or even if they will like you as a person.

Could George Zimmerman face the death penalty under a law designed to protect him?
Will justice for Trayvon Martin come sooner than we think? It could if recent reports are any indication--apparently, the FBI is considering charging George Zimmerman with a hate crime.
State prosecutors are now saying that Zimmerman (a Latino), who shot Martin in a supposed act of self-defense a few months ago, profiled and stalked the Florida teen before killing him. Zimmerman is already facing a second-degree murder charge, which carries a maximum possible sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole but if Zimmerman is convicted of a federal hate crime involving murder, he could face the death penalty.
Talk about a crazy turn of events! FBI investigators are now interrogating witnesses in the neighborhood where the incident took place but in order to actually charge him, prosecutors would have to "prove...that Mr. Zimmerman acted out of hatred toward African-Americans" said WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer.

I can hardly wrap my head around this new and unexpected twist in what has already been such a tragic and controversial case. Though I definitely think a close examination by the FBI is warranted, why now? If they are considering a different charge, could it it mean they have found new incriminating evidence against Zimmerman which the public has not yet seen?
Want to stay updated on other important news? Like us on Facebook!
Normally, I am pretty much all for anything that could bring justice for Martin and his parents but I have to admit that the possibility of the death penalty makes me extremely wary of this potential new charge--assigning that punishment would be just as barbaric and gruesome as Zimmerman killing Martin. I'm not sure a hate crime charge is the best way to go.
Still, nothing is official yet--evidence that could actually help Zimmerman is also coming to light. In fact, a medical report by Zimmerman's family doctor was just released, showing that the neighborhood watch volunteer had a fractured nose, two black eyes and two lacerations on the back of the head after the confrontation with Martin. This comes after a police video showing Zimmerman with no apparent bruises after the alternation caused many to doubt his claims of a struggle.
I think if prosecutors really want to set a precedent with this case, they should use the trial already at hand to direct attention to the irresponsible "Shoot First" gun laws that granted Zimmerman any immunity in the first place. If we want to ensure that careless shooting will not lead to another case like this one in the future, big changes definitely need to be made--and not necessarily to Zimmerman's charges.
What do you think of the potential new charge? Tell us in the comments below!

Lightning Protection Institute (LPI)
Contact: Kim Loehr, LPI Marketing Communications Consultant, (804) 314-8955
NASHVILLE, April 5, 2010 – The insurance industry was called on to actively participate in a lightning safety research initiative focusing on the possible hazards posed by a relatively new gas piping system used to transmit fuel gas within homes.
Insurers were urged to join in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) effort to study installation methods of Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing (CSST), which has been found to be susceptible to damage from direct and nearby lightning strikes. CSST is a type of flexible piping that has been widely used in homes and commercial fuel gas applications in recent years. In some cases, lightning appears to have created holes in the CSST, allowing gas to leak and, consequently, resulting in house fires. Lightning problems associated with CSST received national attention in 2007, when Class Action litigation between property owners and CSST manufacturers was settled. The settlement provided vouchers for the installation of additional grounding and bonding measures to help mitigate potential hazards.
Speaking at the 78th annual joint conference of the Lightning Protection Institute (LPI) and United Lightning Protection Association (ULPA) here, Mitchell Guthrie, an independent engineering consultant, said the NFPA Research Foundation's initial effort has been to define the scope and preliminary work plan for the first phase of the research project to develop and validate installation methods for CSST piping.
Guthrie, who formerly served as chair of the NFPA Technical Committee on Lightning Protection and is an NFPA 780 representative on the NFPA Standards Council Task Group on CSST, explained that the research effort would include all types of structures and piping and would include focus on how lightning energy affects CSST.
He said the study also would include a literature review of incidents as well as applicable studies. A Request for Proposals is now out for review. "We are looking for a broad range of stakeholders to participate in the NFPA Research Foundation project, including manufacturers, installers, contractors, the propane industry, fire safety experts, lightning consultants and the insurance industry," Guthrie said.
Insurance loss data associated with structures equipped with CSST would be helpful to the NFPA's review. (It is estimated that more than a million US properties currently contain CSST piping.) The Lighting Safety Alliance (LSA), an industry group based in Connecticut, has conducted detailed technical reviews at the sites of five CSST incidents and two sites where CSST was installed but there was no incident. "We are making progress, but do not have all the answers," Guthrie said.
The LPI is a not-for-profit, nationwide group founded in 1955 to promote lightning safety, awareness and protection education. The organization provides a certification program to qualify competence in lightning protection installation, design and inspection. The LPI offers a list of certified contractors across the United States. Visit the LPI Web site for more information about lightning protection.

Sixteen disability rights groups, including the National Disability Rights Network, submitted comments to the Social Security Administration on August 26, pushing back against proposed changes to the procedural rules for Social Security disability benefits.
Under the proposed regulations, released July 12, claimants would be required to submit the written evidence they plan to use in their hearings five days before their appearance date.
"We oppose the creation of deadlines that exclude material, and possibly dispositive, evidence," the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities wrote in the letter. "This is because reaching the right decision at the (administrative law judge) hearing level is most likely when all material evidence is considered at the time the decision is made."
The CCD argues that the rule is arbitrary and would particularly disadvantage claimants representing themselves pro se, especially those with intellectual disabilities. The advocacy groups also argued that the rule is administratively inefficient, will further increase the wait list for appeals, and make it more difficult for claimants to counter allegations against them.
"ALJ hearings are by their nature fact-finding hearings. Claimants and other witnesses, including vocational and medical experts, are routinely asked to provide oral testimony," the letter states. "The expert testimony is not available to claimants or representatives prior to the hearing.
"Due process demands that applicants and their representatives are provided an opportunity to respond to such evidence, usually through the submission of a written post-hearing memorandum, but also, and sometimes more importantly, with evidence to refute assertions made at the hearing."
Similarly, the CCD also opposed new requirements that claimants provide a list of possible objections, a new pre-hearing deadline for subpoenas, and a narrowing of the types of cases eligible for review by the SSA Appeals Council.
The CCD supported the SSA's proposal to increase the time for which notice would be given to claimants prior to their hearings to 60 days, although it urged a further increase to 75 days.

Malta is for sure a very interesting experience. We posted a web page on our website with a video clip and reference frames from the shoot we did in Malta and Gozo. In Malta we covered the most interesting sights, from the amazing UNESCO protected city of Valletta with its Palace of the Grand Master in its middle, to the winding alleys inhabited once by the knights in Colacchio, to the dungeon cells of the Inquisitor Palace in Vitoriosa, the ancient temples of Tarxien, Hypogeum, Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, the quietude of the Mdina and Rabat town in the middle of the island and the charming blues of the fishing town of Marsaxlokk.
We crossed with the ferry in Gozo and covered as much as we could do it in a day, from the beautiful Rambla Bay seen from Calypso Cave, to Marsalforn, Victoria with its fortified old town, the sea water eaten rocks of Dwejra, the fishing village of Xlendi.

Luiz França
One of the first Brazilian men to learn Jiu Jitsu in Brazil, Luiz França became one of Mitsuyo Maeda's top students, and much like the Gracies, he continued the work of his Japanese instructor in the state of Rio de Janeiro where he started his own, non Gracie, BJJ lineage. This lineage can be seen in some of the biggest teams in the world today.
Pedro Hemeterio
Pedro Hemeterio was one of Carlos and Helio Gracie's best students through the 1940s and 1950s decades. Hemeterio was also the first student of the gracie academy to achieve the 9th degree in jiu jitsu – red belt. Originaly from the state of Ceará in Brazil, Hemeterio also spent time in Sao Paulo where he helped develop the sport there.
George Gracie
George Gracie was the most important Gracie fighter in the 1930's. The true family champion he held the Gracie Jiu Jitsu flag high for many years, competing throughout 3 decades.
Master Helio Gracie
Helio Gracie is arguably the most important figure in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. One of the first Gracie Jiu Jitsu representative in the 1930's and 1940's he is also the father and master of many fighters who carried the name of BJJ to Martial Arts main stream in the early 1990's, such as Royler, Rickson and Royce Gracie. His lineage and legacy is one of the strongest in Jiu Jitsu and he is seen as one of the fathers of the Brazilian grappling art.
Waldemar Santana
Waldemar Santana, the Gracie Academy cleaner that turned against the BJJ family. This is the true story of the very first Gracie Hunter famed for his 4 hour battle with Helio Gracie

Last week, Community returned to NBC after a mid-season hiatus that left the Internet holding its collective breath over the show's future. For the uninitiated — and, judging by the ratings, that encompasses a lot of people — the series focuses on a group of students attending a community college in the fictional town of Greendale, Colo. Creator Dan Harmon uses that basic premise as a launching point for some of television's more inspired flights of meta-humorous whimsy, toying knowingly with sitcom conventions and parodying everything from Call of Duty to claymation Christmas specials. Anything so self-referential is going to endear itself to a small minority of pop-culture geeks, which is why the show has struggled to stay on the air. If you held your ear up to the blogosphere — that metaphysical nether-region that makes up roughly 97 percent of Community's audience — you could almost hear the sigh of relief when the Peacock announced the show would at least be allowed to finish out its third season.
Of course, a world without Community remains a definite possibility. If and when it gets canceled for good, fans will probably just go back to watching their Arrested Development DVDs on a continuous loop. But if hard-core aficionados want to explore the real roots of Community, they should probably re-investigate another, less obvious series: Boy Meets World.
Or, at least, watch one particular episode of it. Boy Meets World was a '90s sitcom following a group of high school friends growing up and learning valuable life lessons in a Philadelphia suburb. It was basically an evolutionary Saved by the Bell, a show Community is essentially the adult incarnation of. (The character types match up intriguingly well: Jeff Winger is obviously Zack Morris; Annie is Kelly Kapowski; Abed is autistic Screech, etc.) On the whole, BMW wasn't really all that similar to Community – which makes the fact that fifth-season episode "And Then There Was Shawn" is everything Community aims to be all the more curious.
BMW didn't often go high-concept. After all, its target demographic was teenagers. But "And Then There Was Shawn" deftly weaves together pop-culture parody and character-driven comedy, which is Community's entire bag. It takes place in an alternate reality — well, an extended dream sequence, but same difference — a trope Dan Harmon has explored extensively on his show. It pokes fun at the teenage slasher flicks that were big at the time, with a masked killer stalking the cast, and features a guest appearance from the then-omnipresent Jennifer Love Hewitt as "Jennifer Love Fefferman," a joke straight out of the Community writers' room. If the gags were just a bit more mature, and the haircuts less '90s, it could literally be an episode of Community.
Apparently, I'm not the only one to notice this: On Twitter, someone asked Harmon about the influence of "And Then There Was Shawn," to which he gave a pithy response. But don't be surprised if Community doesn't get renewed for a fourth season and Harmon is suddenly in talks to do a BMW reboot.

Local and independent artists are creating a lot of buzz these days—and for good reason. From viral personal projects to the Visible Women campaign, the Internet is making Filipino art extend its reach. Some tools of the trade have gone digital, creating a new and welcome medium that the public can access and appreciate.
Last year, the comic book "Beyond" was drawn entirely using the iPad Pro. Working with celebrated Filipino artists Harvey Tolibao, Manix Abrera, and Merlin Malonzo, the comic collaboration with Beyond The Box featured each of the artists' known and recognizable styles.
While there's a handful of artists who turn to digital art for their creative pursuits, three hand-picked diverse and talented female illustrators will continue to make the world of "Beyond" come to life, with their own quirky characters. The comic is set to be released tomorrow, Oct. 7, Saturday, at Fully Booked BGC.
If you're a fan of humorous doodles, cute and colorful magical realism, or even minimalist panels, then you're in for a treat—2017 is the year where female artists really are taking the lead. As Hulyen aka Julienne Dadivas, Mika Bacani, and Rian Gonzales share their creations drawn completely on the iPad Pro for the second issue of "Beyond," this only assures us one thing: The limits to creativity are now undefined by technology.
Hulyen's "Ugh" comic strips never fail to make its online audience laugh at the wry reactions of her characters who face the most mundane scenarios. For "Beyond," she plays around folktales, the "Alamat ng Piña" in particular, and even insights one of the most trivial arguments on social media—if pineapples belong on pizza.
Rian Gonzales' take on "Beyond" drives a local banker named Candy to a magical adventure, and each of her panels will make you relive your love for Lisa Frank. The artist introduces the cutest creatures and plays with splashes of colors that will draw you into each illustrated scene.
Mika Bacani's comic explores long distance relationship, and even her drawings show space and absence, which works well with the theme. The artist hopes this "Beyond" issue will inspire many others to start working on their own art.
Who else is excited for the second issue of "Beyond"? Watch the video below for more information and see you guys tomorrow!

For kids of ALL ages

I have been reading this book to my 3-year old daughter. Although she may not understand all that I am reading she is captivated by my reading (using voices of course!) I forgot how wonderful this story is and how beautiful the language is. Now that my son has been born he joins us for our reading time and he is as captivated as his sister! If you are looking for something special to read that the whole family can share this is the book you should hunt for. I would even suggest splurging a little and get a copy with the pretty illustrations. This will be a book that your child will remember forever and hopefully will pass on to their children!

People seem to either give this book five stars or one, and I'm strongly in the first camp. Not only have I just about worn out my copy, I recommend it to others. It's clearly written and the writer connects smoothly one topic to the next. Seems like some people are angry that not all the movies on the CD are native Director 6 movies, but he didn't write them all. They're samples of others work. I didn't have an earlier edition so I don't care how much it was like those: this one really works for me. I AM curious about no 6.5 update. Is there going to be a Director 7 Demystified?

Perfection captured
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
There is an element of perfection W.P. Kinsella captures in his book Shoeless Joe. Remember the scenes in the book as being vivid? The players in the field, the rustling of the corn stalks, the fans on the left field bleachers and Annie on the porch swing on a beautiful Iowa day? Kinsella captures all that.It was tough reading the book after seeing Field of Dreams, but I still enjoyed it. Kinsella captures both the zen of baseball and its mystique and the strive for perfection. How many of us would shuck the responsibilities of a farm/home mortgage/job etc., to follow our heart? Not many. Kinsella did and the book is a testament to the heart. A great book; read it just before baseball season opens in April to get the full flavor.

The story of a young French emigrant in colonial America.
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
This book was a 1932 Newbery Honor Book (i.e., a runner-up to the Medal winner) for best contribution to American children's literature. It is the story of thirteen-year-old Marguerite Ledoux in 1742-1743, a young French emigrant who finds herself all alone in the New World after her uncle and grandmother die. She agrees to be "bound" to a family who are moving to begin a farm on an isolated section of the coast of colonial Maine. Hence, this novel depicts farm life in colonial America and the interactions on a young girl in a whole new culture. It is a beautiful story and still finds appeal amongst readers today.

Best One Yet
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
This novel is not just great for the EFC fan who knows the show, and can get a chuckle at Augur's techwizardry running as a subthread in the background, but as a novel on its own.Doyle and Macdonald are known for their realistic view of the inside of the military mind, and their realistic tech detail. They provide Boone with a believable background, give his wife (who got all of two lines in a single episode) with a wonderful personality, and spin out a taut, humor-laced tale that is not just good media fiction, but good science fiction.Recommended for everyone; those who haven't seen the show can easily figure out what's going on. (And who knows? Maybe they'll want to tune in to the fourth season!)

Sime-gen review for Sawyer
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
What's a man to do when a beautiful woman crashes through the fence he's just repaired sailing into his lake? What if she says she's being pursued, but doesn't know why or by whom? Treat her injuries, protect her with his life, love her like there's no tomorrow...then let her go? That's what Dr.Sawyer Hudson planned to do with Ms. Honey Malone. His son, three brothers, and his own traitorous heart have other ideas.Sawyer is the first story in Ms. Foster's Buckhorn Brothers series. I enjoyed this story very much and am looking forward to the other three brothers' stories. Fortunately we don't have long to wait. I'd been rather skeptical about four grown men living together under one roof. But in this case it seems to work. Look for Morgan the sheriff (HT #790) in July, Gabe the heartthrob jack-of-all-trades (HT#794) in August and Jordan the vet (HT#798) in Nov.

Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
A book which will show you how to create datastructure and give you a broad understanding of how to create software. I'm a computer science student at Empire State College and the book seems to cover lots of important details on how programming developts from top to bottom overview. Although the book is good, the authors seems to forget to illustrated some of the 'not very easy to understand point' but overall the main ideas are illustrated in the most understandable manner. 5 starts is not enough for this book. If you are a computer science mayor and taking Datastructures and algorithms, this is a most have book.

Emperor Mage
Rating: 5/5
Binding: School & Library Binding
Emperor Mage is very good book by Tamora Pierce. It follows Daine as she goes to Cathark with a peace comittee from Tortall, which includes Duke Gareth, Duke Gareth the Younger, Lord Martin, Alanna, and Numair besides Daine. Daine was sent by King Jonathan to heal Emperor Ozorne's birds, which are his only weakness. The Graveyard Hag, one of the Great Gods, hassles Daine throughout the book, something which Daine is flustered by. Seemingly good intentions by Ozorne turn evil, and Daine finds she may never see Numair, her friend and teacher, again. This is a very good book by Tamora Pierce. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm sure you will too. Be sure to read Emperor Mage, by Tamora Pierce.

Trollfree, dwarffree, and Carrotless, but still enthralling
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Mass Market Paperback
Not a typical Watch book. Our hero Sam Vimes accidentally slips about 30 years back in time in pursuit of a criminal, only to encounter his younger self as a wet-behind-the-ears Lance Constable. Will he find a way back to Sybil? Will Carcer (our criminal villain) kill him first? Can Vimes prevent an uprising of the common folk from turning into a massacre? Moving back in time leaves Ankh-Morpork free of many (but not all) Watch favorite characters (the book is quite Carrotless, troll, dwarf, and almost zombie-free). This reduces the slapstick and rat-pie quotient significantly but if you prefer Vimes' hardboiled cop to those hijinks, you will like this a lot. It's quite thrilling, actually, and a lot of fun seeing many of the Watch series' human characters in younger form.

text:
Only through the abolition of the capitalist system and the socialist reorganization of society can exploitation of human beings by others, and the evils of oppression, war, racism, environmental degradation, and poverty be ended. We seek to build a socialist society which puts people and nature before profits.
A proper statement of intent from an RCP and there's nothing unusual about that, except the above statement is, somewhat surprisingly, from the constitution of the CPUSA, the Communist Party of The United States of America.
The USA has had a strong union movement for many years and this tradition continues, and one can not underestimate the influence on this which has been forged by the CPUSA, a party which is still around and working.
The CPUSA was formed in Chicago in 1919. By the end of the year it had 60,000 members and, at its height, over 200,000. (There has been a Marxist Tradition in the States before that, going back to the Socialist Labor Party in 1876). Many of the members came from the ranks of recent immigrants from war-torn Europe.
At that time, the CPUSA advocated insurrectionist communist revolution, bringing it under attack from the more established and influential U.S. anti-communist forces — the Palmer Raids and the first Red Scare were only two of many major anti-communist projects undertaken by the U.S. government. Many persistent attempts at suppression of communist activity by the government continued until the end of the McCarthy era climate of the 1950s; after that, anti-communist suppression activity took more covert forms such as COINTELPRO against the New Left.
A decline in the 1950s, as with many RCPs, was precipitated by Krushchev's denouncement of Stalin. The CPUSA's membership of the Comintern and its close adherence to the political positions of the Soviet Union helped anti-communists to present the party as not only a threatening and a "foreign" agent fundamentally alien to the "American way of life". By 1957, membership had dwindled to less than 10,000, of whom 1500 were FBI informants!
But the party continued its long pursuit of legal reforms and vigorously campaigned with local activists against racist apartheid. The New Left of the 1960s took radical socialism along specific US lines. The Party leader at the time Gus Hall's rejected of Mikhail Gorbachev's perestroika policies at the end of the 1980s so the party bravely became estranged from the social democratic left which spilt and formed the the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism.
The CPUSA is based in New York City; and claims a membership of over 15,000. It has an impressive web presence at CPUSA.org and all the usual social networking offices. It publishes a newspaper People's World, and a magazine, Political Affairs.
It's been tough for the CPUSA, as you can imagine. It's been attacked by from state and federal governments and FBI from the start. The party apparatus began underground. It emerged into the light in the last days of 1921 as a "Legal Political Party" called the Workers Party of America. As the red scare and deportations of the early 1920s ebbed, the party became bolder and more open. An element of the party, however, remained permanently underground and came to be known as the "CPUSA secret apparatus."
Paranoia, racism and isolationism in the United States aroused the immigration debates of the 1920s, which led to the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924. Anti-Semitic and anti-Communist literature become widespread (e.g., Henry Ford's International Jew) in the same period.
In the 1920s the Communists decided that their central task was to develop roots within the working class. This move away from hopes of revolution in the near future to a more nuanced approach was accelerated by the decisions of the Fifth World Congress of the Comintern held in 1925. The Fifth World Congress decided that the period between 1917 and 1924 had been one of revolutionary upsurge, but that the new period was marked by the stabilization of capitalism and that revolutionary attempts in the near future were to be spurned. The American communists embarked then on the arduous work of locating and winning allies amongst the powerful teamsters such as the Chicago Federation of Labor.
Stalinist and Trotsky-ite splits were inevitable through the 1920s as the International Comitern was split – not helped by Stalin's decision to break off any form of collaboration with western socialist parties. (This policy had particularly severe consequences in Germany, where the German Communist Party not only refused to work in alliance with the German Social Democratic Party, but attacked it and its members).
By 1930, the party adopted the title of Communist Party of the USA , with the slogan of "the united front from below". The Party devoted much of its energy in the Great Depression to organizing the unemployed, founding unions, championing the rights of African-Americans (alongside the African Blood Brotherhood) and fighting evictions of farmers and the working poor.
The ideological rigidity of the third period began to crack with two events: the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 and Hitler's rise to power in 1933. Roosevelt 's election and the passage of the National Industrial Recovery Act in 1933 sparked a tremendous upsurge in union organizing in 1933 and 1934. While the party line still favored creation of autonomous revolutionary unions, party activists chose to fold up those organizations and follow the mass of workers into the AFL unions they had been attacking.
The Seventh Congress of the Comintern made the change in line official in 1935, when it declared the need for a popular front of all groups opposed to fascism. The CPUSA abandoned its opposition to the New Deal and provided many of the organizers for the Congress of Industrial Organizations.
Party members rallied to the defence of the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939). The CPUSA, along with leftists throughout the world, raised funds for medical relief while many of its members made their way to Spain with the aid of the party to join the Lincoln Brigade, one of the International Brigades. Among its other achievements, the Lincoln Brigade was the first American military force to include blacks and whites integrated on an equal basis.
Membership rose to about 75,000 by 1938, but many left the after the Soviet Union signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with the Nazis Germany on August 24, 1939.
Throughout the rest of World War II, the CPUSA continued a policy of militant, trade unionism.The leadership of the CPUSA was among the most vocal pro-war voices in the United States, advocating unity against fascism and supporting the prosecution of leaders of the Socialist Workers Party under the newly enacted Smith Act.
The Truman administration's loyalty oath program, introduced in 1947, drove some leftists out of federal employment and, more importantly, legitimized the notion of Communists as subversives, to be exposed and expelled from public and private employment. The House Committee on Un-American Activities, whose hearings were perceived as forums where current and former Communists and those sympathetic to Communism were compelled under the duress of the ruin of their careers to confess and name other Communists, made even brief affiliation with the CPUSA or any related groups grounds for public exposure and attack, inspiring local governments to adopt loyalty oaths and investigative commissions of their own. Private parties, such as the motion picture industry and self-appointed watchdog groups, extended the policy still further. This included the blacklist of actors, writers and directors in Hollywood who had been Communists or who had fallen in with Communist-controlled or influenced organizations in the pre-war and wartime years.
The widespread fear of Communism became even more acute after the Soviets' explosion of an atomic bomb in 1949 and discovery of Soviet espionage. Ambitious politicians, including Richard Nixon and Joseph McCarthy, made names for themselves by exposing or threatening to expose Communists within the Truman administration or later, in McCarthy's case, within the United States Army. Liberal groups, such as the Americans for Democratic Action, not only distanced themselves from communists and communist causes, but defined themselves as anti-communist. The Congress wished to outlaw the CPUSA in the Communist Control Act of 1954.
By the mid-1950s, membership of Communist Party USA had slipped from its 1944 peak of around 80,000 to approximately 5,000. Some 1,500 of these "members" were FBI informants, which had the bizarre effect of bringing in 1500 much-needed members fees, paid for, of course by Hoover's department!
The 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary and Nikita Khrushchev criticizing Stalin demoralised the CPUSA. A new leader emerged, former steel-worker Gus Hall. In the 1970s, the CPUSA managed to grow in membership to about 25,000 members, despite the exodus of numerous Anti-Revisionist and Maoist groups from its ranks.
In 1984, because of the popularity of Ronald Reagan's anti-Communist administration and decreased CPUSA membership, Gus Hall chose to end the CPUSA's nation-wide electoral campaigns. Hall stood for President 3 times though!
During the 1990s, the party recruited heavily in impoverished minority neighborhoods in the US , particularly in Black neighborhoods. The CPUSA still runs candidates for local office, although almost exclusively under the Democratic banner. In recent years, the party has strongly opposed the Republican Party in the U.S. , who they term "ultra-right" and, at times, "fascist". The CPUSA still maintains that both parties are capitalist in nature, and only support the Democrats as a means to topple what they perceive as conservative domination in America . Many in the socialist movement disagree with this "lesser of two evils" strategy and it has encouraged some defections from the CP to other leftist groups. There has been some increase in membership since the early 1990s once Communism became less of a threat after the Soviet collapse.
When the Communist Party was formed in 1919, the United States government was engaged in prosecution of socialists who had opposed World War I and military service. This prosecution was continued in 1919 and January, 1920 in the Palmer Raids or the red scare. Rank and file foreign-born members of the Party were targeted and as many as possible were arrested and deported; leaders were prosecuted and in some cases sentenced to prison terms. In the late 1930s, with the authorization of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) began investigating both domestic Nazis and Communists. Congress passed the Smith Act, which made it illegal to advocate, abet, or teach the desirability of overthrowing the government, in 1940.
In 1949, the federal government put Eugene Dennis, William Z. Foster and ten other CPUSA leaders on trial for advocating the violent overthrow of the government. Because the prosecution could not show that any of the defendants had openly called for violence or been involved in accumulating weapons for a proposed revolution, it relied on the testimony of former members of the party that the defendants had privately advocated the overthrow of the government and on quotations from the work of Karl Marx, Lenin and other revolutionary figures of the past. During the course of the trial the judge held several of the defendants and all of their counsel in contempt of court.
All of the remaining eleven defendants were found guilty. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of their convictions by a 6-2 vote in Dennis v. United States, 341 U.S. 494 (1951). The government then proceeded with the prosecutions of more than 100 "second string" members of the party.
Panicked by these arrests and the fear that it was compromised by informants, Dennis and other party leaders decided to go underground and to disband many affiliated groups. The move only heightened the political isolation of the leadership, while making it nearly impossible for the Party to function.
The widespread support of action against communists and their associates began to abate somewhat after Senator Joseph McCarthy overreached himself in the Army-McCarthy Hearings, producing a backlash. The end of the Korean War in 1953 also led to a lessening of anxieties about subversion. The Supreme Court brought a halt to the Smith Act prosecutions in 1957 in its decision in Yates v. United States, 354 U.S. 298 (1957), which required that the government prove that the defendant had actually taken concrete steps toward the forcible overthrow of the government, rather than merely advocating it in theory.
The Communist Party USA played a significant role in defending the rights of African-Americans during its heyday in the 1930s and 1940s. Earlier however,at the direction of the Comintern in 1928 the party advocated for many years a separate ' Negro Republic ', to be founded in the heavily black populated areas of the Southern part of the United States . Based on Stalin's nationalities policy in the Soviet Union, blacks throughout the US were to be declared citizens of this new Republic, then shipped off to it. Throughout its history many of the Party's leaders and political thinkers have been African Americans. James Ford, Charlene Mitchell, Angela Davis, and Jarvis Tyner, the current executive vice chair of the Party, all ran as presidential or vice presidential candidates on the Party ticket. Others like Benjamin J. Davis, William L. Patterson, Harry Haywood, James Jackson, Henry Winston, Claude Lightfoot, Alphaeus Hunton, Doxey Wilkerson, Claudia Jones, and John Pittman contributed in important ways to the Party's approaches to major issues from human and civil rights, peace, women's equality, the national question, working class unity, Marxist thought, cultural struggle and more. Their contributions have had a lasting impact on not only the Party but the general public as well. Noted African American thinkers, artists, and writers such as Claude McKay, Richard Wright, Ann Petry, W. E. B. Du Bois, Shirley Graham Du Bois, Lloyd Brown, Charles White, Elizabeth Catlett, Paul Robeson, Frank Marshall Davis, Gwendolyn Brooks, and many more were one-time members or supporters of the Party, and the Communists also had a close alliance with Harlem Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. The party's work to appeal to African-Americans continues to this day. It was instrumental in the founding of the Black Radical Congress in 1998.
The Communist Party opposed the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, the invasion of Grenada, and U.S. support for anti-communist military dictatorships and movements in Central America . During the Vietnam War, as a tactical move, the CPUSA did not call for an immediate end to the war, but instead for negotiations between the North Vietnamese leadership and the U.S. While some on the left have criticized the CPUSA for this position, it was in fact in line with that of the Vietnamese Communist leadership. Meanwhile, some in the peace movement and the New Left rejected the CPUSA for what it saw as the party's bureaucratic rigidity and for its steadfastly close association with Soviet Union.
An overview of the Communist Party's current ideology can be found on their website "Reflections on Socialism," by Sam Webb, the Party's national chair. The article explains the Party's support for a democratic, anti-racist, anti-sexist, immediate left-wing change for the United States . The report also covers the fall of the Socialist Bloc, claiming that democracy was not sufficiently developed in these countries. "On the one hand, socialism transformed and modernized backward societies, secured important economic and social rights, assisted countries breaking free of colonialism, contributed decisively to the victory over Nazism, constituted by its mere presence a pressure on the ruling classes in the capitalist world to make concessions to their working classes and democratic movements, and acted as a counterweight to the aggressive ambitions of U.S. imperialism for nearly fifty years." The report stresses its dedication to revolutionary struggle, but states that Americans should look for peaceful revolutionary change. Webb says that capitalism cannot solve problems such as economic stagnation, racism, gender discrimination, or poverty. The report explains that there will be many transitory stages from capitalism, to socialism, and finally to communism. On the issue of markets in a socialist society, Webb states, "Admittedly, market mechanisms in a socialist society can generate inequality, disproportions and imbalances, destructive competition, downward pressure on wages, and monopoly cornering of commodity markets – even the danger of capitalist restoration. But this is not sufficient reason for concluding that markets have no place in a socialist economy."
The CPUSA recognizes the right of independence-seeking groups, many of whom have been led by communist and communist-oriented partisans, to defend themselves from imperialism, but rejects the use of violence in any United States uprising. The CPUSA argues that most violence throughout modern history is the result of capitalist ruling class violently trying to stop social change.
In order to make room for the rental of 4 floors in the CPUSA national building the CPUSA donated 20. 000 books and pamphets, its entire written history, to the Tamiment Library at New York University. This included over a million photographs from the archives of the various incarnation of their newspaper. The Tamiment Library also holds a copy of the microfilmed archive of Communist Party documents from Soviet Archives held by the Library of Congress as well as other materials which documents radical and Leftist history.
Among the points in the party's "Immediate Program" are a $12/hour minimum wage for all workers, national universal health care, and opposition to privatization of United States Social Security. Economic measures such as increased taxes on "the rich and corporations," "strong regulation" of the financial industry, "regulation and public ownership of utilities," and increased federal aid to cities and states; opposition to the Iraq War and other military interventions; opposition to free trade treaties such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); nuclear disarmament and a reduced military budget; various civil rights provisions; campaign finance reform including public financing of campaigns; and election law reform, including Instant Runoff Voting. The Communist Party USA emphasizes a vision of socialism as an extension of American democracy. Seeking to "build socialism in the United States based on the revolutionary traditions and struggles" of American history, the CPUSA promotes a conception of "Bill of Rights Socialism" that will "guarantee all the freedoms we have won over centuries of struggle, and also extend the Bill of Rights to include freedom from unemployment"– as well as freedom "from poverty, from illiteracy, and from discrimination and oppression." The Communist Party believes that "class struggle starts with the fight for wages, hours, benefits, working conditions, job security, and jobs. But it also includes an endless variety of other forms for fighting specific battles: resisting speed-up, picketing, contract negotiations, strikes, demonstrations, lobbying for pro-labor legislation, elections, and even general strikes."The Communist Party's national programs understands that workers who struggle "against the capitalist class or any part of it on any issue with the aim of improving or defending their lives" are part of the class struggle. The Communists maintain that developments within the foreign policy of the United States–as reflected in the rise of neoconservatives and other groups associated with right-wing politics–have developed in tandem with the interests of large-scale capital such as the multinational corporations. The state thereby becomes thrust into a proxy role that is essentially inclined to help facilitate "control by one section of the capitalist class over all others and over the whole of society."
Accordingly, the Communist Party holds that right-wing policymakers such as the neoconservatives, steering the state away from working-class interests on behalf of a disproportionately powerful capitalist class, have "…demonized foreign opponents of the U.S., covertly funded the right-wing-initiated civil war in Nicaragua, and gave weapons to the Saddam Hussein dictatorship in Iraq. They picked small countries to invade, including Panama and Grenada, testing new military equipment and strategy, and breaking down resistance at home and abroad to U.S. military invasion as a policy option."
The Party has consistently opposed U.S. involvement in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the First Gulf War, and the post-9/11 conflicts in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Over 150 anti-war resolutions were passed by city councils. Resolutions were passed by thousands of local unions and community organizations. Local and national actions were organized on the internet, including the 'Virtual March on Washington DC' … officials were flooded with millions of calls, emails and letters".
The Communist Party USA's Constitution defines the working class as a class which is "multiracial, multinational, and unites men and women, young and old, employed and unemployed, organized and unorganized, gay and straight, native-born and immigrant, urban and rural, and composed of workers who perform a large range of physical and mental labor–the vast majority of our society".
The Communist Party seeks equal rights for women, equal pay for equal work, the protection of reproductive rights, together with putting an end to sexism. The Party's ranks include a Women's Equality Commission, which recognizes the role of women as an asset in moving towards building socialism.
Historically significant in American history as an early fighter for African Americans' rights and playing a leading role in protesting the lynchings of African Americans in the South, the Communist Party, in its national program today, calls racism the "classic divide-and-conquer tactic…" From its New York City base, the Communist Party's Ben Davis Club and other Communist Party organizations have been involved in local activism in Harlem and other African American and minority communities. The Communist Party was instrumental in the founding of the progressive Black Radical Congress in 1998.
Historically significant in Latino working class history as a successful organizer of the Mexican American working class in the Southwestern United States in the 1930s, the Communist Party regards working-class Latino people as another oppressed group targeted by overt racism as well as systemic discrimination in areas such as education, and sees the participation of Latino voters in a general mass movement in both party-based and nonpartisan work as an essential goal for major left-wing progress.
The Communist Party holds that racial and ethnic discrimination not only harms minorities, but is pernicious to working-class people of all backgrounds, as any discriminatory practices between demographic sections of the working class constitute an inherently divisive practice responsible for "obstructing the development of working-class consciousness, driving wedges in class unity to divert attention from class exploitation, and creating extra profits for the capitalist class".
The Communists support an end to racial profiling. The party supports continued enforcement of civil rights laws as well as affirmative action. Supporting cooperation between economically advanced and less economically-developed nations in the area of environmental cooperation, the Communist Party USA stands in favor of promoting "transfer from developed countries to developing countries of sustainable technology, and funds for capital investment in sustainable agriculture, energy, and industry. We should support efforts to get the developed nations to make major contributions to a fund to protect the rainforests from devastation".
The Communist Party USA is unalterably opposed to all manifestations of racism, national oppression, national chauvinism, male supremacy, homophobia, and anti-Semitism, which are used by the enemies of progress to divide the working class and people's forces. The principles of democracy, equality, justice, and class self-interest require a joint fight against all expressions of racism and gender oppression. They fight for full equality for all who suffer from racial, national, and gender oppression as an essential aspect of the unity that is basic to all social progress.
The USA is a country which was founded by those seeking freedom and tolerance. Thee Faction believe that one day the US will lose its cartoon fear of Socialism: perhaps via its greatest invention: Rock 'n' Roll …

Fortunately for him, he never tried to put on a snowblower ballet. First warm weather forced our performance off White Bear Lake for the Art Shanty Projects. Then the snowstorm projected for the Twin Cities this weekend never materialized.
What do you do when you're scheduled to do a performance at Can Can Wonderland on Saturday? You drive to Northfield and fill up a pickup truck bed with snow and hope it doesn't melt by show time, 3 p.m., Saturday, in the parking lot just north of the giant smokestack, 755 Prior Ave. N.
Come see the only snowblower ballet in town!
It's a free preview performance of a bigger, longer snowblower ballet with a live orchestra planned in January 2018. Assuming winter comes back to the Twin Cities. Like the old song goes, there's no business like snow business.
Thanks, Bethany Gladhill, for the loan of the truck.

|"No... a teacher. Well, I'm a writer. Actually, I write books."
~I don't do bullet-pointed posts as a general rule, but I do think they're fun sometimes, so that's what I'm doing tonight. (Okay, so technically they're not actually bullet-points. They're... uh... flowery-dash-points.) This is going to be a post of randomness. Yes, I stole Alexandra's idea. No, I am not ashamed of the fact.
~Only a Novel's blog tour has officially commenced! My first interview was with the lovely Isabel, aka Old-Fashioned Girl, at her blog A Superior Felicity. Hop on over here to read the post!
~I'm very, very excited about all the other tour dates I've been setting up with blogging friends this week. These tour dates include...
July 11th interview at Dirt and Dickens
July 14th guest post at The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls
July 19th interview at The World of a Rhoswen Faerie Wrose
July 24th guest post at Living on Literary Lane
July 25th guest post at Lianne Taimenlore
~Still working out details with Abby of Newly Impassioned Soul, Melody of Regency Delight, Maria of Miss Georgiana Darcy, Mattie of Daughter of the King, Eowyn at Inklings Press and Alexandra of Trims and Frills (yes, I abbreviate... but my sister refers to my blog as The YAP, so don't be offended, Ally. Not that you would be.).
~I'll be adding a little linky thingy to my sidebar so you can easily navigate to all the tour posts.
~You know that caption on the picture at the beginning of the post? That's actually me right now. I'm in the throes of teaching a literature class to a group of middle-school-aged girls (we're studying Little Women), which is the most tremendous fun, especially since it means I get to dress up in period costume once a week. And I feel Anne-ish. Which is a bonus. Except it's not an Anne-ish costume because Anne didn't live during the Civil War. (Thank you my dear, I think we have all apprehended that much.)
~I do so love the phrase "Thank you, my dear, I think we have all apprehended that much." (Mr. Palmer, Sense and Sensibility 1995) It's like the Regency equivalent of "duh." Funnier and much less rude. :D
~Air conditioning is the 20th century's greatest invention.
~This little guy cracks me up every single time.
~ "I suppose that is merely a development of the classical trick with the cup and the ball, the glove being A and the dove being.... B."
"No." [dramatic pause] "It is... MAGIC."
Return to Cranford was hilarious. Also emotionally traumatizing. But still good. A review is forthcoming, once I finish my in-draft gushings over The Young Victoria.
~I am beginning my first Really Big Sewing Project-- to wit, a Regency dress as a fifteenth birthday present for Anne-girl. Yes, she already knows about it. Yes, it was initially supposed to be a surprise. Yes, I am terrible at keeping secrets. And yes, you are going to hear an awful lot about it in Forthcoming Posts.
~There are only a few hours left in which to vote in the OAN giveaway... so if you haven't done so yet, well then, allons-y!

As of May 1st, Android Dreamer will be Hardcover Wonderland, and will be located conveniently at hardcoverwonderland.com.
Why the change? Well, we realized that this name tied us down pretty firmly to talking about science fiction and fantasy, and we have been anxious for some time to find a way to branch out of a bit more. With the new name comes a larger umbrella, as all sorts of fiction will be covered, including the kind with pictures.
Over the first few months, otherwise inactive days will be filled with re-posting some of our Android Dreamer material that we think is worth preserving. If your novel was recently reviewed here on Android Dreamer, rest assured that the review will be finding a new home on Hardcover Wonderland.
Thanks for continuing to read the site, and we hope to see your smiling avatars at hardcoverwonderland.com on May 1st.
Happy reading!

A union has warned of a "tsunami" of job losses in the public sector as a growing number of workers received redundancy warnings even before the Government's comprehensive spending review.
The GMB said official notifications of possible redundancy were now "piling up" in offices across the country, mainly from councils planning spending cuts ahead of the CSR announcement later this month.
Latest warnings included 800 potential job cuts at Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council and 500 in the London Borough of Havering on top of previous threats to thousands of jobs in areas including Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, Croydon and Dorset, said the GMB.
National officer Brian Strutton said: "There is a tsunami wave of public sector job losses sector coming down the line. The statutory advance notification of redundancies (HR1s) forms are piling up in GMB offices.
"This tidal wave of redundancy notices is coming because councils are seeking to further reduce staff costs for next year in anticipation of reduced budgets when the Government announces cuts on October 20.
"There is no more efficiency or productivity savings to be had. Councils are now simply cutting back services and hacking back terms and conditions of employment.
"Job insecurity is a crippling fear that is paralysing local government. The people losing their jobs have nowhere to go because the private sector is shedding people too so there is a real state of depression hanging over local government."
The GMB said some some Tory and Liberal Democrat councils were treating their staff like "dirt", using a legal device of pretending to make all their workforce redundant and offering some of them re-employment on worse pay and conditions.
"It's like holding a loaded pistol to people's heads to force them to accept detrimental change or be out of a job with no compensation," said Mr Strutton.

Palliative care is a way to improve the quality of life of patients and their families are facing the problems that are often associated with life-threatening illnesses. It provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms, affirms life and regards dying as a normal process, integrates psychological and spiritual aspects of patient care, and offers a support system to help the patient and their family.
Palliative Care is not the same as hospice, it focuses more broadly on improving life and providing comfort to people of all ages with serious, chronic, and life-threatening illnesses. It can start as soon as the patient is diagnosed with a serious illness, at the same time they continue to pursue a cure. Some patients can recover and move out of palliate care while others can move in and out of palliative care as the need arises.
It's a holistic alternative that attends to the challenges that the illness poses in every aspect of life. It also extends to family members as well as caregivers. It can help educate family members about the patient's illness, treatment, and medication; provide care for caregivers; help with transportation issues, meals, and shopping among other things.

Reiki and Palliative Care on Animals
Our pets are our family; they are so loyal and take pleasure in helping and bringing joy into our lives. When an animal is dying, Reiki can be used to help not only the animal, but also the family transition with grace and love, honoring the memory and time they had with their cherished pet.
With Reiki, an animal's symptoms can be eased while providing emotional support. Reiki can help to extend an animal's life or help them to pass away in peace.
The family may notice that performing Reiki on their beloved animals helps to bring them closet together and communicate more clearly. Reiki can help with any unresolved energy and help heal and balance. By resolving emotional or mental imbalances and releasing any energy that's not serving its highest good, the animal is free to transition with peace and love.
It's so important that the family should get Reiki along with their pet. These sessions can help the family be present in order to enjoy the final days with their animals as well as to help them have clarity when making a decision regarding with the welfare of their pet. Helping the family through the grief provides relief for the animal, who might be trying to hold on and prolong their suffering in an effort to help ease the family's pain.

2015 has seen some incredible progress toward equality for the LGBT community. In June, a ruling by the Supreme Court made it legal for gay couples to marry in all 50 states — a huge win by any measure. Unfortunately, this victory also highlighted how LGBT people in America are still discriminated against in many ways.
John Oliver highlighted this ongoing struggle on Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.
Republican presidential candidate John Kasich has been praised for saying he attended a wedding of a friend "who happens to be gay" as it isn't his place to judge. A few of the others have said they would attend a same-sex wedding, should they be invited.
Other candidates, however, have danced around the topic completely.
When asked if he would attend a gay wedding, Scott Walker (R-Wisc) responded in a way that was not very clear. "Well, in terms of, it's certainly a personal issue, for a family member. Tonette and I and her family already had a family member who's had a reception, I haven't been to a wedding. But that's true even though my position still is that marriage is defined between a man and a woman, I support the Constitution of the state, but for someone I love, we've been to a reception."
While it prevents him from creating a sound byte that would eventually be used against him should he advance in the primaries, it's clear that this deflection of epic proportions doesn't mean anything good for the LGBT community, should Walker find himself in the White House.
It may seem like the personal beliefs of one man are inconsequential, it's important to remember that life is really just a series of one person interacting with other people. One person choosing to discriminate against other people has an extraordinary capacity to reduce their quality of life.
One lesbian couple from Michigan described their infant getting rejected from a pediatrician's office due to their sexual orientation.
While the physician's actions are deplorable, he's hardly alone. Many others have denied gays access to healthcare, housing, jobs, and a variety of other sectors that heterosexuals typically don't have to worry about.
Many of the people who choose to discriminate against homosexuals do so for one reason, and it usually involves misinterpreting one very important document...
The Constitution of the United States does grant freedom of religious expression and freedom of speech, which many are citing in their decisions to deny equality to others. Unfortunately, these freedoms are not absolute. Erroneously believing that it does is tantamount to a sub-5th grade understanding of the most important document that exists in our country.
"The Constitution isn't the star in Super Mario Bros.," Oliver notes. "It doesn't make you invincible so you can just do whatever the f*ck you want."
There are certain states that prohibit discrimination against LGBT, but the irregularity in rules makes it confusing to know what protections these individuals actually have.
Getting things squared away on a Federal level is just what the Equality Act would do.
This bill would add 'sexual orientation' to the list of qualities over which a person cannot be discriminated, like age, race, and gender.
Unfortunately, this bill has not been sponsored by any of the 246 Republicans in the House. Given that the House has a GOP majority, the future of the bill doesn't look bright.
Anyone wishing they could help in the matter should contact their representatives and senators to urge them to support equality for all by passing the Equality Act.

See Urltranslation for the 5.6 compatible version.
What is the Urltrans Module?
Take a look at this page: https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Language+configuration#Languageconfiguration-Onehierarchyormany
If you choose to store your international website in ONE hierarchy you face the problem that the URL cannot be localized. This is very bad for SEO as the URL is very important to search engines.
The urltrans module allows you to localize the URL even if you have only one hierarchy.
How to use it?
The localized property "name" is used to store the localized name of a website document.
The name used for the fallback language is not configured in a property. Here the node name of the website document is used
The page properties tab of the STK dialog is modified (/modules/standard-templating-kit/dialogs/generic/master/basePageProperties/tabMain/name).
Only safe characters are allowed (e.g. no '/'). When you set the localized name for the fallback language the website document will be renamed. This is currently resulting in a 404 error, because you are still editing the old document.
How does it work?
When the web user requests a localized URL a filter looks up the localized URL by querying the JCR repository. When it finds the document it simply replaces the URL with the the node's path.
Filters which are executed after the UrltransFilter (like ContentSecurity) see the path in fallback language.
Filters which are executed before the UrltransFilter (like CacheFilter) see the localized path. The document is stored in the Magnolia cache at the very end of the filter chain, but the clever cache developers use the request path and not the handle of the aggregationState, so caching works perfectly.
A link transformer renders the URL in the localized language. Unfortunately the following STK class must be changed for versions prior to STK 2.0.11. Without this patch the the URLs of CSS stylesheets are rendered incorrectly.
// remove the content related part from the full uri // now we can create the link safely and we are sure that the multisite filter will // detect the correct site int ndx = fullLinkToPage.length(); for (int cnt = StringUtils.countMatches(pagePath, "/"); cnt > 0; cnt--) ndx = fullLinkToPage.lastIndexOf('/', ndx-1); linkPrefix = fullLinkToPage.substring(0, ndx); // fullLinkToPage may have been localized // linkPrefix = StringUtils.removeEnd(fullLinkToPage, pagePath);

Now available in git and nexus
Can you provide instruction on how to build the urltrans module. We want to deploy it on 4.5 community edition.
I tried:
git clone http://git.magnolia-cms.com/git/forge/urltrans.git
cd urltrans
mvn package
You have a dependency on the extended templationg kit? Do you have a binary somewhere?
Yes, there is a dependency on etk. The link manager makes sure that links point to the localized URL.
Check Nexus for the binary: https://nexus.magnolia-cms.com/index.html#nexus-search;quick~urltrans
Or Hudson: http://hudson.magnolia-cms.com/job/forge_urltrans/
Hi, please note that nexus now has to be accessed via https. Http access will be switched off shortly. I've just updated the link in Sven's comment from September above.
Is the module compatible with Magnolia 5?
(We currently use it with Magnolia 4.5 and works very well)
No, sorry. Currently 4.5 only. But I hope that one of my customers will migrate to 5.3 soon. Then I will update it.
Hi Roland are there any news of an update of your module to 5.3?
I don't think it will be done before April.
Maybe i can help you to migrate it, because at the moment one of our customers has the exact usecase in Magnolia 5.3
Go ahead and try. Maybe there is not much to do
Version 2 works with Magnolia 5.3.9
Version 3 works with Magnolia 5.4 and without STK
Hi Roland,
how to get version 3? On Nexus, I only see a version 1.0.0-SNAPHOT (https://nexus.magnolia-cms.com/index.html#nexus-search;quick~urltrans)
I was never able to create versions that work with nexus and jenkins. I think I got an error message that I have no permissions
You have to get the sources from git and compile by yourself: https://git.magnolia-cms.com/forge/urltrans
Thanks. Above git repo asked for authentication, so I used http://git.magnolia-cms.com/git/forge/urltrans.git.
The module depends on the multisite-module though, but I would need it for the Community Edition. Therefore, I replaced the two LinkTransformer classes and URLtransVersionHandler with the ones from v2 and removed the multisite-module depency in the pom.xml.
did you tried "mvn deploy"
I would love to use the maven repository. Maybe you need to ask again for authentication.

Did you checked your settings.xml that you use the correct username/password. It should be the same like your JIRA/Confluence credentials. Otherwise you need to ask for auth on your nexus repos directy.
Any news on this authentication problem?
Hello Roland. Thanks for contributing!
Where can i get the version 2 of the module? Is there a way to put it in my web-apps pom.xml? Is there a built jar that i can drop in my WEB-INF/lib directory?
How to enable the LinkTransformer in Freemarker so that the template engine uses the correct, localized link?
I got the module working in 5.4.1 CE, and the URIMapping works fine when opening it in a browser, like /en/products.html and /de/produkte.html gets mapped properly after I added name_de = "produkte" node property for example. Note that I added the property via JCR browser directly, since I did not get any dialog for setting this when editing a page.
But when linked to a page from the German (de) locale, which is of class info.magnolia.ui.form.field.definition.LinkFieldDefinition and put in freemarker like this:
it would always take the fallback name/link (products.html), regardless under which locale I am currently browsing.Thanks.
Any idea about this? Is it supposed to work out of the box with just the regular cmsfn.link directive? Thanks.
If it does not work, please check if this has been executed correctly by the module's version handler:
tasks.add(new SetPropertyTask(RepositoryConstants.CONFIG, "/server/redering/linkManagement", "class", "com.eqs.magnolia.urltrans.link.MyLinkTransformerManager"));
tasks.add(new SetPropertyTask(RepositoryConstants.CONFIG, "/server/redering/linkManagement/transformers/absolute", "class", "com.eqs.magnolia.urltrans.link.TranslateAbsolutePathTransformer"));
Hi Roland Polzer,
We have setup the Ultrans module on the Magnolia 5.4 without any issues. The module can be seen inside the Config app.
The only problem is how to use the module. A page was created with some dummy template assigning it different name_de, name_fr, name_it properties however without success.
How exactly should the Ultrans module be used in the Pages app ?
Which is the localized name of the property to be used ?
Sanel Mesinovic
Hi Sanel Mesinovic , I got it to work with 5.4.1. name_de, name_fr, name_it are the right properties to use. But make sure you fix the two typos in the source code, as I mentioned earlier in above comment. Otherwise the rendering won't take place. (Not sure if it has already been fixed in the original code yet.)
Hi Mathias Conradt,
Thanks a lot for the explanation. Honestly speaking we would prefer to use it as a Maven dependency instead of cloning it. Don't think it was fixed, otherwise it would be working.
Additional note: because I am using Community Edition instead of Enterprise Edition, I did some additional adjustments, because SiteManagement was references in the sources, but I needed it without it. If you are using Enterprise Edition anyway, it should be fine for you.
Just noticed in the Config app, those two typos seem to be fixed. The exist under the node path with the values specified in the code.
I am using CE with the magnolia-module-enterprise module enabled. Still does not work. I will check what happens if I switch to the EE bundle.
I made a mistake in git. the master was not up-to-date. I have commited now. The version handler should set /server/rendering/linkManagement/transformers/absolute
Hi Roland Polzer,
I am not using git, but Maven dependency:
Does the Nexus contain the latest artifacts with corrected code ?
Is Ultrans module dependent on the Advanced Cache module ? I get ClearCache event exceptions each time the name_xx property is saved under the page's node.
Here is what I see in the Config app:
Each time I add the new property to the page e.g. name_de, name_fr, name_it the following exception is raised:
2015-09-28 09:24:01,581 WARN .jackrabbit.core.observation.ObservationDispatcher: EventConsumer com.eqs.magnolia.urltrans.translator.ClearCacheEvent threw exception

Where did you put the name_xx properties ? Directly below the page node ?
Yes, directly under the page node, see this example for my contact page: http://postimg.org/image/n9p0qxxrf/
When you change the properties it must clear the cache. Could you check in SiteProvider.get() what is the class of the aggregationState?
Unfortunately cannot devote more time to this issue, however I think the issue was that my project was based on the empty-webapp and later on the CE bundle. I think that if it would be based on the EE bundle there should be no more SiteProvider errors, because the Site module is already part of the EE bundle.
The Site application was not there so I guess that is the reason for the above errors.
The addition of these properties is happening on author right? Why must that cache be cleared there?
Hi guys, are there still people using this module? I'm using that in Magnolia 5.5.7 as I didn't find any other URL Translation module so far. Works well. The problem is that it doesn't work with Magnolia 5.6. New info.magnolia.link.Link class doesn't have "getNode" method, which was there before, and UrlTranslation module is calling that (in log.trace !).
Is there any other module to have translatable urls, or will this module be updated?
We're also using the Urltrans module. There is no other module that provides the same functionality as far as I'm aware.
Yes, that's correct. I believe it was changed to getJCRNode(). In 5.6 we removed all code that relied on the old Content API. Roland if you could provide me the source code I could help you update the module. Seems popular
Hi Richard, unfortunately I don't have time for this and I am not working with Magnolia anymore. The source code is in https://git.magnolia-cms.com/projects/FORGE/repos/urltrans/browse and I am hoping that someone from the community takes over
Cheers, Roland
This module has been moved to Magnolia URL Translation for Magnolia 5.6+. → 404 Page Not Found
Hey Guys-
I've released 1.0 of the new modules just now. It's been refactored into 2 modules. I wanted it to be available for community and standard as well as pro.
I would suggest that you uninstall the old module first. I plan to add some instructions for uninstall over here Urltranslation. Your current page properties will still work in the new module. I just made some changes to some of the transformer class names.
If you have any problems with it please file a bug under MURLTRANS or if you have any new feature ideas I'd like to hear those as well.
Hi Richard. It's impossible to build project with this module, as it expects some private dependency:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project adyen-webapp: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.adyen.magnolia:adyen-webapp:war:7.2.1-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at info.magnolia.i18n:magnolia-url-translation:jar:1.0: Failed to read artifact descriptor for info.magnolia.i18n:magnolia-url-translation:jar:1.0: Could not transfer artifact info.magnolia.services.maven.poms:magnolia-services-base-pom:pom:1.4 from/to magnolia.enterprise.releases (https://nexus.magnolia-cms.com/content/repositories/magnolia.enterprise.releases): Not authorized , ReasonPhrase:Unauthorized. -> [Help 1]

Same Problem here, just tried to install it. We have an EE subscription, and other EE packages download fine.

Sorry about that. We are working on a new space for these modules. Soon all the information will be consolidated here: https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/EX/Magnolia+Extensions
huh, I added those to our Nexus as proxies. Now I get:

Opening statements in US loud music death trial
JACKSONVILLE, Florida (AP) — A Florida man intended to kill a teen outside a convenience store after an argument over loud music, even though the 17-year-old posed no threat, prosecutors said Thursday during opening statements of the man's murder trial.
Michael Dunn, 47, is accused of killing Jordan Davis, who was outside the Jacksonville store with his friends in November 2012. An argument began after Dunn told them to turn the music down, police said. One of Davis' friends lowered the volume, but Davis then told him to turn it back up.
Dunn, who had a concealed weapons permit, pulled a 9 mm handgun from his car, according to an affidavit, and fired multiple shots into the SUV, striking the teen in the back and groin.
Prosecutor John Guy told jurors that Davis posed no threat to Dunn and that there was no weapon in Davis' truck.
"Jordan Davis was upset, not doubt. He was cussing, no doubt. He raised his voice, no doubt. But he never threatened the guy," Guy said. "The only thing he had on his person was a cellphone and a pocket knife. They stayed in his pocket."
Dunn's attorney, Cory Strolla, told jurors that Dunn felt threatened and fired in self-defense. Under Florida law, Dunn had every right not to be a victim, the defense attorney said.

on display for Patriots
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Bill Belichick saw promise and versatility watching tape of Logan Mankins play left tackle in college.
The New England coach now needs his stalwart left guard to duplicate those efforts more than ever.
When starting left tackle Nate Solder left the Patriots' loss Sunday against Miami because of a concussion, his second in two weeks, Mankins shifted from guard to tackle, spending almost the entire fourth quarter protecting quarterback Tom Brady's blind side.
And if Solder is unable to return Sunday for the Patriots' pivotal game against the Ravens — an unlikely scenario despite practicing in a limited capacity Thursday after not partaking at all a day earlier — Mankins once again will be called upon to fill the void.
"Scheme-wise, it's not all that hard. I know all the plays at every position so that's not tough," said Mankins, who has started 127 of 128 career games at left guard. "Just the overall different angles, different foot work, that kind of thing. I have to process that pretty fast."
He had no problem Sunday.
Solder, who had a concussion against Cleveland two weeks ago and was limited in practice last week, left the game against Miami after a hit to the helmet in the fourth quarter. Rookie Josh Kline stepped into Mankins' slot at guard while the nine-year veteran inherited Solder's spot at tackle.
The Patriots (10-4) already are without starting right tackle Sebastian Vollmer, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve Oct. 29 because of a broken right leg.
"We can't dwell on the fact that someone may or may not be there. You just have to go with what you've got," Brady said. "I have plenty of things I have to focus on. Whoever is out there, I have to trust that they'll be able to do what they're asked to do or else we wouldn't be asking them to do it."
Belichick certainly believes in Mankins.
The only film he saw of Mankins at Fresno State was of him playing left tackle, but when the Patriots drafted him 32nd overall in 2005, Matt Light already was entrenched as the starter. Mankins was moved to left guard and has flourished, making the Pro Bowl five times.
"I think there's no question that he could have played left tackle in this league, played for us," Belichick said. "But we had Light there, we put him into the lineup right away at left guard and he and Light played together for years and then we got Solder and that was kind of the way it worked out.
"I don't think there was ever a thought from the coaching staff or from myself that he couldn't play left tackle."
Believe it or not, a few steps to the left translates into an entirely new assignment, Mankins said.
"You're going against faster guys (as opposed to) big, powerful guys," he explained. "You've got speed guys on the edge. You're running around a lot more. Those guys are faster. You're not always just, someone slams into you. Your feet have got to be a little quicker. You have to be a little faster."
Mankins tried to emulate Light as best he could Sunday.
"I always watched Matt Light all those years where we were kind of the same size," he said. "I figured when I'm out there I should do what he did."
If Mankins is lined up at left tackle against the Ravens (8-6), he will be in for a tougher task than last week. Linebacker-defensive end hybrids Elvis Dumervil and Terrell Suggs are one of the most talented tandems in the league, already combining for 181/2 sacks this season.
"They've both played in this league a long time and I've seen them on film tons of times," Mankins said. "They're both very good players. They're good at what they do. They're both powerful guys and they get the job done out there."
Mankins routinely does, too.
So much so that Belichick maintains he could play all five positions along the offensive line.
Maybe even tight end?
"I could catch," Mankins joked. "I don't know if I could get open."
