Over Half of Google's Employees Think James Damore Shouldn't Have Been Fired
The all-hands meeting was scheduled following the leak of the "ideological echo chamber" memo that called the company's diversity efforts into question.
In another interview, Damore spoke with Jordan B. Peterson, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, a critic of "political correctness", feminist postmodernists and the concept of white privilege.
"I'm definitely hurt I love Google and I've always been a fan of Google even before I joined", he said, "So it really feels like they betrayed me in some way".
Finberg said, "The culture at Google is hostile to women". Despite claiming to "value diversity and inclusion", Damore wrote that women weren't succeeding as much as their high-ranking male counterparts due to faults of their own - meekness and neuroses - as opposed to the industry's systemic misogyny.
A person familiar added that an additional top question likely to be asked is: "What can we do to clarify for the entire company that there is one hiring bar", regardless of race or gender?
"Anyone who makes a statement like this and expects to stick around.is foolish", said David Lewis, CEO of Operations Inc., a human resources consulting firm. He suggested promoting more collaboration among coders, skills in which he says that women tend to excel.
As a company, it must sting a bit to be sued by a group of dissatisfied women, just a few hours after publicly canning a guy for saying you're bending a little too far backwards to be "inclusive" toward said women. "It takes emotional energy that builds up over time".
However, Damore stirred the pot again recently, after he posted a photo of himself wearing a shirt that seemingly mocked his former employer. He launched it on "WeSearchr" - a crowdfunding site where others are hoping to "expose Antifa", and fund an investigation into the death of Democratic staffer Seth Rich (a conspiracy theory peddled by Fox News).
"I felt like I wasn't playing the game in the "boys" club' environment", she told the Guardian. Finberg mentioned that the reason many women left their job at Google was discrimination. The Department of Labor considers just two standard deviations statistically significant, according to The Guardian. "Code positions are more highly paid and more highly valued at Google".
"Can we get an update on progress toward identifying leakers?" one employee posted, saying multiple Googlers had their team pages leaked to alt-right sites, resulting in a death threat in one instance.

Technical issue?
Just restarted computer after it got some updates. Something popped up on the HP thing , like an orange and white exclamation point. Cyberlink photo director , about something like that and visit this forum.
Technical issue?
Thank you for posting on HP Forums,
The Riddle_Decipher is at your service.
As I Understand you've got a pop-up with an exclamation mark about the Cyberlink application and then re-directed you to the HP Forums, Did I get that right?
No worries, though, as I'd love to help the advocate of Jesus (who wouldn't, Am I right or am I right 😉 ),
however, I need a few more details to provide an accurate solution:
Are you having any issues with the CyberLink photo director, do you use it?
Is the computer working fine?
Could you elaborate on any issues that you have so I could help you better, perhaps, reply with the product number of your device?
Keep me posted,
If the information I've provided was helpful,
Give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons,
That'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
Good Luck.

Student or Learner
I came across a sentence which is "A federal appeals court early Sunday morning denied the US government's emergency request to resume President Donald Trump's travel ban."
can I say" A federal appeals court early on Sunday morning ......."
or both expressions are ok?
So, if you remove "early", "on" would work and there wouldn't be any potential issues.

How many times Ron you have complained about the poor quality of the photos you took 50 years ago with bad camera's and bad film? Well, by shooting on JPEG'S, you are doing the same thing now.
RAW keeps everything the sensor saw. Not only is this archival, it also allows the ability to truly work with your image.
The "too large" argument is so 2001. Cards and drives are so huge and cheap now there is no reason to stick with that rational.
50 years from now someone will be saying, "Darn it, if only Ron had shot this in RAW! Then it would have worked really good on our L&N Holodeck!"

GABON IS RICH IN EARTH'S RAREST COMMODITY TROPICAL FORESTS LITTLE TOUCHED BY HUMANS. n the morning of August 1, 2002, in Libreville, Gabon, President El Hadj Omar Bongo summoned his ministers to an urgent meeting. Almost no one except Mr. Bongo knew what was up. Did the government face some sudden financial crunch-related, maybe, to falling petroleum revenues and rising deficits? Was there an international crisis, putting all Africa and the rest of the world on nervous alert? Had civil war broken out again somewhere in the region, cen tral Africa, within which Omar Bongo in the course of his 35-year incumbency had earned a certain reputation as a peacemaker? Would the president undertake a mission of mediation? Even as his ministers gathered in the cabinet room of the presidential palace, they had no idea what the day's business would be. Adding to their puzzlement was the fact that three outsiders had also turned up for the meet ing-a British biologist named Lee White, employed by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) of New York as head of its Gabon pro gram; a Cameroonian biologist named Andre Kamdem Toham, based in Libreville for the World Wildlife Fund; and an American ecologist and explorer, J. Michael Fay, a WCS employee more familiar to some of those present as the "man who walked across Gabon."* The minister of tourism turned to White, an acquaintance, and asked: "What are you doing here?" The cabinet room is an impressive chamber, big as a tennis court, stately as a church, with two great mahogany tables running up the cen ter. At the front is a raised presidential podium, like a postmodern, minimalist throne. Each of the tables is partitioned into ministerial cubicles equipped with telephones and other electronic communications gear. Large plasma *See the "Megatransect" series in the October 2000, March 2001, and August 2001 issues. 54 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC * SEPTEMBER 2003 video screens face the tables for audiovisual briefings, with a separate screen positioned to serve the podium. The ministers took their assigned places. After a slight delay, while White and Fay struggled hastily to patch a laptop com puter into the room's system, the president entered, a self-possessed man with a wide mus tache and a warm smile, looking dapper in a bright yellow business suit. He said nothing. He sat down and, with a nod, signaled his minister of forest economy, Emile Doumba, to start the proceedings. Doumba announced simply that Dr. Fay and Dr. White would address the group on a matter of high interest to the president. "And so I just launch into my dog and pony show," Mike Fay said, recounting the scene dur ing one of our quiet talks in Libreville months later, his wounds from a recent elephant goring now nearly healed, his zeal undampened by that near-death experience. "The president had a little TV screen in front of his face, and he's star ing into it, you know, intently." The ministers soon were engrossed too. Fay, better adapted to bushwhacking through swamps than to cabinet level politicking, was wearing a jacket and tie borrowed that morning from Lee White's closet. He'd brought his laptop, as he carries it every where, stuffed into a day pack. The summons to A rare clearing in a sea of forest, the mile long Langoue Bai was carved out by ele phants digging in the mud. Mike Fay calls it the most important discovery of his 2,000 mile Megatransect across central Africa.

#159CalltoAction: Register Georgia Voters
2018 is a year of potential for great change in Georgia. There will be a new governor, and all constitutional statewide officers and General Assembly seats are up for election.
The best thing you can do to effect real, long-term, progressive change in Georgia this year is to register voters, educate them and get them to the polls. If many groups working together can register 199,999 progressive voters and get them to the polls, we can flip state House and state Senate districts and elect a governor with progressive values. #159CalltoAction #159RegisterNewVoters
To volunteer, complete this brief form if you'd like to volunteer any amount of time. Our volunteers will contact you and point you toward opportunities or work with you to build opportunities.
Georgia has a half-million new American majority citizens (people of color, women, Gen Y, Gen Z) who are eligible to vote — but not yet registered. 159 Georgia Together and Indivisible groups all over Georgia continue to work with multiple legacy and new progressive organizations in 2018 to register these voters and get them to the polls.
You (and your family and friends, your neighborhood and your group) can volunteer in your area with plenty of support and guidance from these groups, including organizational lobby days and training sessions. Opportunities are listed on the form, and here's a great resource for educating yourself about voter registration: indivisible435.org/voterregistration.
These groups and others have been hard at work and will guide and assist you:
- ProGeorgia (govotega.org) and its constituent groups Asian-Americans Advancing Justice – Atlanta;
- Common Cause of Georgia;
- Community Voters Project;
- Center for Pan Asian Community Services;
- Equality Foundation of Georgia;
- Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials;
- Georgia's Coalition for the People's Agenda;
- Georgia Muslim Voters Project;
- Georgia NAACP;
- Georgia Shift;
- League of Women Voters of Georgia;
- New American Pathways; and
- New Georgia Project
If you have progressive friends who aren't already 159 Georgia Together members, add them to our group. Let's flip this state!

Anxiety. It's something that all of us encounter from time to time. But, in this fast-paced, very demanding world it appears that teens are feeling more anxious than the rest of the population.
In fact, the National Institute of Mental Health found in 2017 that an estimated 3.2 million adolescents aged 12 to 17 in the United States had at least one major depressive episode. This number represented 13.3% of the U.S. population aged 12 to 17. That's a startling statistic that's certainly of interest and concern to professional educators.
Addressing teen anxiety and other related needs is the topic of the May issue of Educational Leadership – What Teens Need from Schools. It is a must-read issue and I heartily recommend you read every article. To whet your appetite, I've previewed a few of the articles I found to be particularly compelling.
As always, some Educational Leadership articles are shared with everyone and others are reserved for ASCD members and EL subscribers. You can purchase single issues but I'd recommend at least a digital ASCD membership ($49). That gets you the full EL content each month plus 12 issues of ASCD Update, access to members-only webinars, book discounts and more!
The issue begins with a Reader's Guide, "Can't We Let Teens Be Teens?", written by managing editor Naomi Thiers, who reminds us that building relationships with teenage students is particularly important. We must recognize each teen learner "as a complex individual [and] becoming aware of all aspects of that learner's identify and any life challenges they face" (p. 7).
This theme and message is intertwined through almost every featured article.
The Teens are Not Alright
This is the rather disconcerting title of an article by Cathy Vatterott, a professor of education at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and an expert on K-12 homework.
Vatterott calls to mind the typical adolescent student's schedule both when they are in and out of school. She suggests that so many teens are stressed and disheartened because of what she calls "rudderless box checking" day after day.
This phenomenon describes students (often with the guidance of college and career-minded adults) who are making sure their checklists are full of both rigorous academic classes and extra-curricular involvement — sports, fine arts, church and civic activities, etc.
As a result, Vatterott contends, "these students are joylessly going through the motions, not sure why, except they've been told this is what successful (but not necessarily happy) people have to do" (p. 14).
To address this growing epidemic of stress among teens, the article suggests that educators and parents consider the following actions:
- Limit homework, both the volume and the amount that counts toward a final grade.
- Coordinate a student's workload across classes through a shared school calendar and/or collaboratively designed days for testing.
- Rethink the school schedule to provide more time for students to reflect and transition from class to class.
- Provide student and parent education about what teens need for them to be both healthy and successful in school.
Controlled Burn: A Story of Growth
This is another intriguing title, this one for an article written by Catherine Hart, a former high school teacher and now an education consultant. Hart focuses on ways to gain the interest and commitment of students who don't find traditional schooling either engaging or worth their time.
Hart begins the article by describing her nephew "Max" (a pseudonym), who in the early years of high school spent more time skipping school than being in class.
Fortunately, Max took control of his destiny after learning of a partnership his school had with a local community college. With some persistence, he was successful in convincing his guidance counselor to let him enroll in an EMT course at the partnering institution. Max was captivated. He saw both the purpose of his learning and a pathway forward. The result? Max is now a paramedic and firefighter.
The "Maxes" of the world are what Michael Nakkula (2013) calls "Crooked A" students. These are students who are not engaged or motivated by traditional schooling but "emerge at one point as top performers." Students like Max need to see how what they are learning connects to something that interests them. Their interest becomes the "hook" that can motivate them to put in the effort needed to be successful.
So, what can be done to ignite the interest of students like Max? Hart suggests four steps (pp. 30-32):
- Use a strength-based approach, believing that "potential exists in all students and that educators should 'discover and implement the kinds of learning that can help their students realize this potential'" (Lopez & Louis, 2009, p. 2).
- Help them feel competent by highlighting their strengths and showing them a pathway to success.
- Help them feel they belong by inquiring about their interests and asking them to identify their strengths. These queries build connections between students and their teachers and enables teachers to differentiate support.
- Offer autonomy by providing choice and an element of control over a student's learning. Activities like student goal-setting and tracking offer students some control over their learning.
Teen Voices
Seven high school-aged student shared their perspective on topics as broad as diversity, special needs, the arts, bullying, respect, and engagement.
Muna, a black Muslim teen, holds out hope for school models that respect everyone. "I am often targeted for the language I speak, the clothes I wear, the religion I practice, the color of my skin, and my gender. It is hard for a person like me to thrive in any setting. But my school has made me and my peers feel welcome and not alone. The school community has embraced my culture and has expanded all students' knowledge of other religions."
A particularly poignant idea was offered by Jacob, a student with autism. "Many of the accommodations used in special education boil down to providing opportunities to learn in ways that make the students more receptive. All students would learn better from a more flexible form of teaching and the ability to do things like sitting where they need to or having options of different ways to show they know" (p. 47).
Going Deeper into Learning
Michael Fullan and co-authors Mag Gardner and Max Drummond suggest a new moral imperative for schools: helping students engage in deep learning.
They refer to the research of Harvard's Jal Mehta and Sarah Fine (2019) that found the "richest and most consequential learning happens when learners have opportunities to develop knowledge and skills (mastery); when they come to see themselves as vitally connected to what they are learning and doing (identity); and when they have opportunities to enact their learning by producing or contributing something new and unique (creativity)" (p. 66).
Fullan et. al suggest an additional component to deep learning: connectedness. "Connectedness makes it very clear that deep learning is not just an individual pursuit, but also fundamentally a group and human phenomenon" (p. 66).
Other Important Topics and Ideas
Two must-read articles discuss the needs of students of color and the complex situations many immigrant students find themselves in. Another article shares tips for teachers to better engage their students. McREL's Bryan Goodwin provides ideas on how to cultivate curiosity in disengaged teens, and Carol Ann Tomlinson suggests that teachers become "a guiding light [that] teens need."
Most of the articles I've linked here are freely available online. This is an issue that I'm going to keep on my desk and reread as the new school year approaches. Now more than ever, teens (and all students) need a voice in their ongoing and very personal educational experience. Most of all, they need to know that adults — both at school and elsewhere — care about them.

When words speak louder than actions: CCHS Poetry Club participates in "Louder than a Bomb" poetry slam
NewsOff-campus March 15, 2019 Admin
Being a teenager is not easy, especially for those who have so much to offer to the world without an outlet to deliver it. Members of Cooper City High School's very own Poetry Club made their voices heard on Wednesday, March 13. The club participated in the poetry slam "Louder than a Bomb," which took place in Fort Lauderdale at the Savor Cinema from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event consisted of two bouts, each of which was comprised of five rounds. The first four rounds were either individual or duets and the final round was a group poem. Normally schools change venues between bouts, but the Cowboys remained at the same venue. Judges rotate for the second bout.
For their individual pieces, Poetry Club members addressed issues near and dear to their hearts.
Junior Ali Bennett chose to express her misgivings within the education system, as well as the need to advocate for unity. Poetry Club President Cayla Sullivan spoke about her struggle with her father's addiction.
Sharing these thoughts and emotions may be a touch intimidating— at first.
"I hope [the audience members] think about how they interact with others and realize that everyone has something going on," Poetry Club Vice President Saharah Reid said.
"It's hard to think about [performing] before the competition," Sullivan said. "But once you sit down and hear 20 other kids talk about their experiences and make themselves emotionally vulnerable with their words, it starts to make you more confident and safe in a room filled with strangers that are all struggling [in] the same way you are."
In their group piece, the Poetry Club put together a poem about female empowerment, paying tribute to womankind.
"The general idea for the poem was four strong women," Sullivan said. "We wanted to pinpoint the different types of women who suffer from sexism and misogyny, who seem like they have nothing in common, but throughout the poem you realize that they all fight the same battles and want the same thing: equality and respect."
Although this was the highest-scoring group piece, having received three 10s from the judges, it went over the time limit by 30 seconds, leaving CCHS in third place.
Still, the students are not focused on performing well in order to reflect well on the club. They concern themselves more with making an impact on their audience and speaking their minds.
"I hope [the audience members] think about how they interact with others and realize that everyone has something going on," Poetry Club Vice President Saharah Reid said.
Poetry slams are not just an opportunity for young poets to make their own voices heard, but also to listen to what others, from schools and backgrounds far and wide, have to say.
"It's about getting that feedback from your audience," Sullivan said. "When they relate to your words and you finally get the sign you've been looking for: you're not alone."
"As a listening member, that bond between myself and the poet is so important," Bennett said. "Because it allows me to understand them … At the end of the bouts, we'd all go up to each other and offer congratulations and [give] each other hugs, even if all we knew about that person was their poem. We formed that bond and it was something absolutely beautiful."
Additionally, it allows today's youth to express their thoughts in an unconventional way, allowing for creativity and interaction with the audience.
"I feel like it brings a different light to them," Bennett said. "You have the typical ways like giving a speech, writing a song, but you rarely see it presented as poetry and there's a certain power in that because it evokes an emotion most people don't feel. And presenting it to the audience takes bravery … because you're showing raw, personal emotion to total strangers and that creates a bond between the speaker and the audience [that] most other art forms don't achieve."
This was the preliminary slam. Those who placed in first and second place move onto the semifinals. CCHS placed third and fourth. Even if they do not move on this year, Poetry Club takes something bigger with them.
"It's about getting that feedback from your audience," Sullivan said. "When they relate to your words and you finally get the sign you've been looking for: you're not alone."

Ep. 30: Doro Bush Koch - Guided Meditations, Mindfulness & Breath Work - BB&R Wellness Consulting
Doro Bush Koch shares what mindfulness is and how important it is to her. I've gotten into mindfulness for reasons that many of you are familiar with. Being in a family of public servants, mindfulness can be an effective tool that helps me cope with stress and anxiety. Things that I'm sure you all know too well.
Mindfulness helped me so much, that I made it my work. I love mindfulness, and I love sharing it with others. We just hear about the body, but a healthy mind is equally as important. As Tricia said, it all goes together, yet we often neglect the health of our minds.
We live in a world that runs at an accelerated pace. Many of us spend our time rushing from one thing to the next thing. We also spend too much time thinking about the past and all of the things that we should have done or thinking about the future and all the things that we need to do. Let's take a moment during this recording and slow things down.

Show Notes
[01:32] Our days are often spent lost in thought, so we miss the experience of the present moment.
[01:40] We are really just missing out on our life as we are living it.
[01:44] A fast-paced life causes chronic stress. It activates our fight-or-flight stress response. This can suppress our immune systems and open the door to all kinds of disease.
[02:11] There are three ways we recommend to improve the health of our minds.
[02:20] There's mindfulness. There's breath work, and meditation.
[02:38] The best definition of mindfulness is paying attention on purpose in the present moment, non-judgmentally.
[03:09] Mindfulness is a great tool to accept the good, the bad, and the indifferent. When we are mindful we avoid triggering are stress response.
[03:37] Stress chemicals affect how our brain works. It affects the areas we need for creativity, decision making, and empathy. We need to be as calm and present as possible to live and work with each other.
[04:07] Eating mindfully is tasting the food and noticing the smells.
[04:58] By practicing mindfulness we can strengthen the brain's ability to pay attention.
[05:23] Breathwork can be used to reduce stress. The first thing we can do is just pay attention to our breath.
[06:12] One of the simplest ways to do this is to pause throughout the day and take a few deep breaths.
[06:43] The 4 7 8 breathing method. This will help with stress, anxiety, and insomnia. The regularity of practice puts a signal in your nervous system to relax.
[07:24] Breathe all of the air out of your lungs. Breathe in for a count of four. Hold your breath for seven. Whoosh out for a count of eight.
[09:05] Meditation is our favorite tool to reduce stress. Meditation is the formal practice of mindfulness. It's learning to quiet our busy minds and focus our attention using our breath.
[09:29] When we meditate we can't and we don't suppress our thoughts, but we do become observers of our thoughts. We can acknowledge our thoughts without judgment and let them go.
[09:49] We went to let our thoughts rise and dissolve on their own while we are loving observers.
[10:25] It's our minds that create our experience of the world, so why don't we spend more time training our minds.
[10:47] Meditation like any skill takes practice. We particularly like guided meditation because it uses visualization to bring about awareness.
[11:14] Set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes and see how it goes.
[11:29] Doro takes us through a four minute meditation. You are loved and all is well with the world.

I was down at Warsash on a perfect spring evening twilight, the photo's aren't very good but they hopefully give an impression of what it was like, the air still, glassy settled sea.
The huge container ship was passing down Southampton water but towers over Hamble Point across the river.
I got talking to a man who was sat watching the view, he said he's lived in London for 29 years but missed the sea so much he often came down to the coast to refresh his soul.

Several hundred thousand Thais are now living in Europe, mostly women with children. While many are Eurasian by birth, keeping them in touch with their mothers' culture is seen as a vital part of their future and so teaching Thai to these kids has become one of the priorities for many volunteer groups of Thais throughout the continent. One of the organisations at the centre of this effort is the Federation of Thai Language and Culture Teachers in Europe (FTTE). Set up in Lugano, Switzerland in March 2010, the FTTE has developed methods and curricula for teaching the Thai language and culture in existing schools while also supporting new ones. It raises funds to publish the series of Thai course books titled "Sawasdee", developed by Salee Silapasatham, which are used in many schools throughout Europe and it also promotes such cultural activities as teaching traditional dance, Thai musical instruments and even organises summer camps in Thailand for children from various … [Read more...] about Let's speak Thai

Ideas in place to reverse decline in Thai education
"We have already delivered tangible guidelines for the education sector," ICER president Professor Charas Suwanwela said ahead of his committee's two-year tenure ending on May 31. The panel has suggested legislation including a National Education Bill, Equitable Education Fund Act and Early Childhood Act. "We have also identified areas for educational innovation," Charas said. ICER was established two years ago to lead education reform efforts. It's widely accepted that reform is badly needed in Thai schooling. The quality of education has shown little improvement despite more resources and bigger budgets been allocated. "Over the past few decades many countries have surpassed Thailand in terms of education quality. This trend is unacceptable," Charas said. He hopes the committee's guidelines for reform will improve the sector in the next four or five years. Charas, preparing to pass on the torch … [Read more...] about Ideas in place to reverse decline in Thai education
Application for cultural recognition of Thai massage sent to Unesco
The minister was confident that Unesco would approve the inclusion of Nuad Thai, as Thailand had high hopes for this proposal and had presented extensive information and details about traditional Thai massage and why it belongs on the list. To support the campaign for inclusion on the list, and to help conserve this intangible heritage, Nuad Thai services at domestic and international shops will need to be standardised, Vira said. Related agencies have discussed and agreed to impose a requirement that all Nuad Thai shops in Thailand and other countries obtain a certificate from the Thai Public Health Ministry's Department of Health Service Support to operate their business, he added. … [Read more...] about Application for cultural recognition of Thai massage sent to Unesco
Learn and have fun on a Thai "school holiday"
The classes and the learning are fun, and the settings can be spectacular. Spend five days learning to sail including overnighting on a yacht earning an internationally recognized competent crew classification. Or spend a few days under water earning a scuba license from PADI. Learning to cook Thai cuisine can be fun and a great skill to take home. Thai massage skills will put you in high demand when you go home, too. Or for something totally different, be the first one in your town to learn how to be a mahout, an elephant trainer. Or learn to rock climb on the spectacular beachside cliffs in Krabi. For a longer commitment, several Thai universities, including the kingdom's oldest - Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, offer semester courses or semester exchange programs, and even degree programs taught in English. But for a short stay, you can learn for a day, a week or a month. Thai food is appreciated the world over, and the secrets of Thai cuisine are a very … [Read more...] about Learn and have fun on a Thai "school holiday"

It is crucial to realize that virtually no app in the Maintenance Management Software - CMMS category is going to be an ideal solution that can meet all the needs of all company types, sizes and industries. It may be a good idea to read a few Dude Solutions Maintenance Management Software - CMMS reviews first as some software may dominate just in a really narrow set of applications or be prepared with a very specific type of industry in mind. Others might function with an intention of being easy and intuitive and consequently lack complex functionalities desired by more experienced users.
