"The cure for fascism is reading and the cure for racism is travelling", Miguel de Unamuno.
This is my disclaimer: I'm not white, but I look like one.
I mention this because of two reasons: Looking like a white I have never been stopped and frisk, for instance, but knowing where I come from I know it's just a matter of random genetic combinations that gave me pale skin instead of a darker one, so I notice what happens to black people, even if it doesn't happen to me. Secondly, looking like a white does enables me to listen to conversation among white and Latino folks, which sometimes get so outrageous, that I wonder if Afro-American folks are really aware about how bad the situation really can be.
I know racism is rampant, and so blatant that is impossible for a black person to walk around without feeling it on the flesh. Obama described some of the actual, concrete manifestations of racism that are endured by the black minority, when he referred to the Zimmerman's trial veredict, after killing Trayvon Martin.
Still, Obama spoke about everyday situations. But he didn't referred to other consequences of racism that can explain so few Afro-American CEOs among the Fortune's 500, so little representation among the political Establishment.
And when the debate is publicly presented, we would likely hear white folks denying racism, pretty much in the way The Daily Show represented it:
The R-Word (The Daily Show: Tuesday August 6, 2013)
I'm not saying every white person is racist, what I'm saying is those who are racist, they are painfully and sordidly prejudicial people. I'm not even talking about rednecks in Alabama or Mississippi who can't conceive to be touch by a black kid without having to run to the shower -a real story I heard from a Cuban black girl who visited the house of a "Christian" family in Texas, some years ago. The white lady who was supposed to host her for somedays during a religious event couldn't handle it and was running after the girl cleaning every object she touched, like she was tainting the house somehow.
That was outspoken, sick, right-in-the-face racism that ignorant whites can't hide, wouldn't hide because they think it's fine, it's justified by some insane notion of I can't guess what. That's the same stupid evil racism that made hundreds of people feel offended by the Cheerios ad:
I'm talking about that hidden racism that persists in those educated, suburban-middle-class people. The kind of people that wouldn't openly say anything racist in public, who would deny any racist notion in a poll, or omit their true thoughts when interacting in a social conversation with co-workers or among acquaintances, guys that can even have a black friend to show when it comes to prove they are not racist, that sole idea is just offensive!
I'm referring precisely to these people that only show their true points of view when they are among close friends or relatives, then they speak out. That's when the fear they feel of black folks emerges. It's about fear, and contempt against the "fact" that "blacks are living without having to work, thanks to the taxes they have to pay". Fear and contempt. Fear of visiting "black neighborhoods because they are indeed more dangerous, because they consume more drugs, they are prone to felonies".
That's one more evidence of selective attention, or selective memory, or just selectivity in the information people want to have. Even if it's true that news media have its share of unfair portrayal of minorities, the news show white and Latino individual committing crimes. Sometimes horrible crimes like the massacre in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. So, no wonder why Zimmerman was acquitted precisely by a jury from Florida.
And don't get me wrong. These people are not evil or naturally sinister humans. They learnt this way to perceive the black from their parents, and their uncles, and their parents' friends, and the media, and that part of society that shaped their ideas and worldview. When you take the time to talk to one of them, and explain historic reasons, and explain economic reasons -such as the fact that the black minority is about a 13.1% of the total population, so it's impossible they consume all the government's entitlements, even if every Afro-American would receive governmental assistance, which is not the case- and political reasons and most importantly human reasons that show we are the same, except for the fact that centuries ago European colonizers disrupted and abducted a civilization that was brought to foreign lands to be treated as subhuman and we are all still paying the cost. Then that person sees, for a moment that person agrees and realizes racism is baseless, and there's indeed a huge debt to be paid, which won't probably ever be fully compensated, because the value of so much damage is impossible to measure.
But just for a moment. After a while or some days you will listen to them repeating a similar remark. The fear and the contempt are so deeply rooted in them…
I guess what I'm saying with this it's that racism won't stop with a second or a tenth black president, or with Oprah and Chris Rock showing amanzing stage talent, or some other Neil deGrasse Tyson getting recognized as scientific icon, or more Gabby Douglas winning olympic golds. It won't stop when stop and frisk will stop, or even after the inmate population will be more balanced among whites, latinos and blacks. After all that, some hidden form of racism will remain in some segment of the population.
Fortunately, young people will receive better education. Each generation will be able to get more information, and will share and interact more with other people from many cultures, races and ethnicities from around the world. With luck, they will learn better, and they will know how to handle diversity, and they will understand the reasons beyond.

Nowadays, celebs come in all different shapes and sizes, and have different personalities. It's kind of refreshing, because it brings something new to our screens. Not every guy you see on screen looks like a model. Sure, a lot of celebs like to stay in shape, have rippling muscles, and some can only be described as Adonises. But there's an increasing number of celebs out there that prefer to bury their noses in books, read comic books, and get up to other so-called nerdy activities. That's a bit of a stereotype there, but you get my drift.
Some celebs are self-proclaimed nerds and own that tag. Vin Diesel for example, is a massive nerd, but he certainly doesn't look the type. Most of these celebs fit the bill. They're nerdy on the inside, and look pretty nerdy on the outside. Again, I'm in no way bashing them. It's actually pretty cool to be a nerd nowadays, due to shows like The Big Bang Theory. And these 15 are comfortable in their own skins, which makes them exude confidence. Perhaps that's part of the reason why they tend to get with seriously hot women. But kudos to them; they managed to date hot women when the stereotype dictated they'd only attract like-minded individuals. Here are 15 nerdy celebs that somehow manage to date sizzling hot women.
15 Jason Segel
Jason Segel, the lovable actor who achieved fame for his role in How I Met Your Mother, may not have had the same kind of success since the conclusion of that sitcom. But that's not going to worry Jason. He's got plenty of things going on to keep him occupied. Some may say that Jason Segel is head and shoulders above everyone else in the nerd pack. He doesn't just look a tad nerdy. Jason's actually pretty smart, and engages in activities that most people, including himself, would think fit the criteria of being a nerd. I mean, the guy's hosted the "Nerd Oscars," for God's sake, otherwise known as The Science and Technology Academy Awards. And he kicked the roof off that place. He's also responsible for reviving The Muppets – his fellow nerds would be proud.
In terms of Jason's dating life, he likes to keep things seriously private. But when he started dating a real hottie, he had to step out with her. It's rumored that Jason's dating the steamy Alexis Mixter. It's also thought that while filming that hit sitcom, he hooked up with Alyson Hannigan, his long-term partner in the series.
14 Zach Braff
Here's another guy that just looks nerdy, but it's why he's become so successful. He achieved fame for playing the nerdy character of J.D. on the hit series Scrubs, who's quite possibly the nerdiest doctor you'll ever come across. I'm sure people wouldn't mind being treated by a so-called nerd doctor, except for the fact that in J. D's case, he was a bit of a bumbling buffoon. But it's why people loved him, and it's what made the show so great. Zach's real-life persona is a tad like J.D. They're definitely similar in the nerd department. He's got a "theatre geek past" – his own words – that he's very proud of, and has divulged all by doing a Nerdist Podcast. You've got to be a super-nerd to get invited to do one of those.
Zach's rumored to have dated some steamy celebs. He used to date actress Shiri Appleby. It's rumored, a rumor which was pretty much inevitable, that Zach was dating his Scrubs costar, stunning actress Sarah Chalke. The chemistry the two showed on screen was thought to have been as a result of off-screen relations.
13 Jason Sudeikis
Don't know who Jason Sudeikis actually is? Not to worry, you won't be the only one. He'd like to think he's famous due to his career as a comedian and his prowess as an actor. And he's not exactly a dud actor. But let's face it, Jason's mostly recognized for being Olivia Wilde's other half – well, soon to be other half anyway, as they're currently engaged. Actress Olivia Wilde has had a number of star roles. She's probably best known for starring in the medical drama House. People got to see her as the sultry, troubled doctor – it's a role that resulted in Olivia becoming a s*x symbol in many people's eyes.
Before getting engaged to Olivia, Jason was with screenwriter and actress, Kay Cannon. The two were hitched for six years, before they split and went their separate ways. Pretty much right throughout his career in the limelight, Jason's always had a steamy celeb by his side.
12 John Legend
American singer-songwriter John Legend looks pretty dapper, although you can't really say he resembles an alpha male. He used to be a nerd – and he claims he still has some nerdy qualities – and that look has just stayed with him. Being a nerd has made him amazing at what he does, so fans wouldn't have it any other way. He was a serious nerd growing up, and says that being one has helped with his creative process. Again, just like they've sought out Zach Braff, all these nerd publications and websites want John Legend on board to do a bit of something, and he's been only too happy to oblige. Being a nerd has made John Legend smart, and incredibly attractive to women, as has his singing and prowess with a piano under his fingers, of course. He allegedly has dated some steamy celebs over the years, and he walked down the aisle with one in 2013. Celebs don't get any steamier than Chrissy Teigen, and the pair just look adorable together, although John hasn't yet converted her to his nerdy way of life.
11 Kunal Nayyar
Kunal Nayyar is famed for being one of the main cast members on The Big Bang Theory. He's known for that geeky, nerdy persona, as a shy astrophysicist who struggles in social situations, struggles to find love. Also, everything about him pretty much screams "nerd." I am of course mentioning his on-screen persona, but he's admitted to having many of these qualities in real life. Even if he didn't have them, he's been playing the role of Rajesh Koothrappali for so long, it's inevitable he would've picked some things up. Like I mentioned in the intro, this sitcom has made people see nerds in a different light. They're considered cool, and as Kunal describes it, being a nerd has made him into an "uber-babe magnet." The magnetism's certainly been working for him, because Kunal's been rumored to have dated some beautiful women, none more beautiful than his current wife. His wife, Neha Kapur, isn't just beautiful, she's Miss Universe beautiful. She's competed in the Miss Universe competition after winning the prestigious title of Miss India in 2006. That just about says it all.
10 Daniel Radcliffe
Regardless of what he does in the future, Daniel Radcliffe will and always will be known as Harry Potter. He was propelled into the limelight, achieved worldwide superstardom at such a young age for his role as the troubled wizard in those iconic movies. Part of Harry's star appeal, despite being a wizard of course, was that he was a pretty unassuming character. Look at him and you wouldn't say he was anything special. Those big round glasses, that haircut, and pretty much everything about him makes you think of a nerd. In his real life, Daniel's also a pretty big nerd. He's divulged that when he was a kid, he suffered years of bullying because of it – he's certainly had the last laugh. The uncool nerd has gone to super-cool nerd, something that's made him a hit amongst fans and the ladies. He's dated steamy celebs, such as assistant movie director Rosanne Coker, a few British socialites, and Irish actress Laura O'Toole. Understandably, he was also rumored to have dated fellow Harry Potter star, Emma Watson, who is perhaps the steamiest of them all.
9 Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage is famous for playing the action hero, the guy who swoops in to save the day. But back in his teens, he couldn't have been any more different. He was very shy, and by his own admission, incredibly geeky. Nicolas was obsessed with comic books, and I mean obsessed. It's actually an obsession he still holds today – he was once the proud owner of one of the most expensive comic books in the world. Oh, and by the way, his name's actually chosen after one of his famous comic book heroes. His real name's Nicolas Coppola. You may recognize that last name, because his uncle directed The Godfather movies. Nicolas chose a stage name because he didn't want to achieve success because of his family name. He chose "Cage" after the fictional superhero, Luke Cage.
Nicolas is a superhero in a lot of people's eyes, including a number of steamy celebs. In terms of dating, he's a regular Casanova, but married life hasn't been kind to him. He's been married three times, to Patricia Arquette, Lisa Marie Presley and Alice Kim. He's also dated American actress Christina Fulton, with whom he had a son. In 2016, he split from his latest wife, and has been pictured out and about with many women since. He's back in the dating game, and from the looks of things, seems to be enjoying himself.
8 Kevin Smith
Is Kevin Smith, American filmmaker, actor, comic book writer, author, and podcaster, of the nerdy persuasion? He most certainly is. You can probably tell he's a nerd because of what I've just written. He's into comic books, and must have felt like a kid in a candy store when he got the opportunity to write his own. Today Kevin is actually deemed to be the God amongst nerds; like the guys in The Big Bang Theory, he's a guy that a lot of other geeks and nerds look up to. He revels in it, and loves being the so-called father figure of the group. You might think that being labelled with that title, the God amongst nerds, may have gone one of two ways for him in the dating game. It could've seriously hindered him, or given him some animal magnetism. Luckily for Kevin, it's been the latter. When he was younger, there were all sorts of rumors floating about of him dating some steamy celeb or other. But then Jennifer Schwalbach came along and he'd found his perfect match. The steamy actress got married to Kevin in 1999, and they've been going strong ever since.
7 Andy Samberg
Andy Samberg is another guy that just fits that profile of being a nerd. But anyone who's seen him at work knows he rocks it. It's what makes him so lovable, and it's why he's managed to achieve so much success. Andy's been around since the early 2000s doing screenwriting, acting and comedy, but it's fair to say that he became most well-known when he starred in the police sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine as the hilariously immature yet brilliant detective. He's another guy who's responsible for making nerds cool. Those in the nerd community look up to him, as they should, because his career's on the up and up.
Ever since he first met her, Andy's been infatuated with Joanna Newsom. He met her at one of her music gigs, they hit it off right away, and tied the knot after five years. It's amazing looking at some of their pics. Based on looks alone, a lot of people wouldn't think they'd be compatible. Joanna's drop-dead gorgeous, whereas Andy – well, you can't get any nerdier. The princess and the court jester comes to mind.
6 Darren Aronofsky
Darren Aronofsky is a filmmaker and is one of the best in the business. He's different from others in the industry, in that he makes films that are edgy. But it's what's made his films stand out, and it's also why he's achieved such widespread acclaim and global success. His films such as Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, and Black Swan, and mother! have stirred up a tremendous amount of controversy. It's pretty daring stuff for a so-called nerd.
Due to what he does and his whole appearance, Darren definitely fits into the category of being a nerd. It's something that's made him attractive to a number of steamy celebs too. In the past he's dated actress Rachel Weisz, Brandi-Ann Milbradt, and is currently with the stunning Jennifer Lawrence, who he's been with for about a year. They make a cute couple, although the two seem very different – opposites do attract.
5 Seth Green
Seth Green is a nerd in pretty much every which way. If you've seen him at work, you probably didn't need me to tell you that. He's nerdy by nature, but it's something that's held him in good stead right throughout his career. The guy has played Nerd in the Robot Chicken franchise, which just about says it all. He's also a secret science geek, and is obsessed with technology and all-things space. He's a regular at various comic-cons, where he shows his passion and promotes nerd culture.
Seth's been in the acting profession for a hell of a long time. Over the years, especially during his younger days, he's rumored to have dated a number of steamy celebs. In 2010, he got married to one of these celebs, after falling head over heels for Clare Grant. Clare's an actress, producer, model and singer, and is a bit of a gaming and science fiction geek herself, so she and Seth have plenty in common.
4 Ed Sheeran
Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is probably the biggest male artist in the world right now. From his days hustling in London to becoming a global megastar, Ed Sheeran's life has changed drastically in recent years. Or so you'd think. But Ed Sheeran's actually a pretty simple guy. Aside from the obvious fame and fortune, he's remained one of the most grounded celebs around. Ed Sheeran's made the geeky look his own. Upon first impressions, you certainly wouldn't think he's one of the best-selling artists of all time. But the fact he's still himself is why people, including other celebs, love him.
Ed's someone who likes to keep his private life very private. But we know he's currently dating a woman named Cherry Seaborn. They're childhood sweethearts, met in high school, and things just progressed from there. It's also rumored that he's been with many other celebs during his years in the limelight. Fellow singing sensation, Taylor Swift is one of them. Nowadays they're just extremely close friends, but it's rumored that before they became besties, they were secretly dating. Ed's also hooked up with numerous members of Taylor's entourage, her famous girl squad – that's something he's actually admitted, probably wanting a few high fives.
3 Johnny Galecki
You could probably presume that more than one of the Big Bang lot would feature on this list. If we did a list of female nerds that date handsome guys – or something of that sort – the entire female cast of the sitcom would probably feature on that list too. Johnny Galecki is a guy who's probably the coolest nerd of the lot on that show. In real life, he's a closeted nerd, but has this suave sophisticated demeanor about him – something you wouldn't necessarily expect from a nerd – which has certainly helped when it's come to his dating life. Johnny's managed to date pretty much everyone's dream woman. With him dating Kaley Cuoco's character on screen, there were always going to be rumors that they were hooking up in real life. They did actually have a proper relationship and dated for a couple of years. We don't want to be mean about Johnny, but people honestly couldn't believe it. Even though there were inevitably going to be rumors, people couldn't believe it when it happened. The lovable nerd has also dated actress Kelli Garner, before splitting with her in 2014.
2 Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch is a guy that tends to divide people. A lot of people rate him as this dapper, suave and sophisticated English gent, whereas others deem him to be a nerd of epic proportions. He does scrub up well, but those thinking he's a nerd would be correct. He's not just a nerd either. Amongst the current crop of actors, Benedict's regarded to be the biggest nerd around. And he takes great pride in being labeled with that title. His nerdy qualities are enough to take up this entire article. So, here's a snippet. He's a regular at various comic-cons where he's seen hanging out with elf queens and dwarves. He takes goofy selfies, does interviews barefoot, and is revered by other nerds (possibly a lot of those on this list). Benedict doesn't just hang out with the elfish kind. He's also hung out with steamy celebs over the years, although nowadays, there's only one woman on his mind. He's hitched to the gorgeous opera director (that's a new one!), Sophie Hunter, and they have two kids.
1 Daniel Moder
Some of these dudes may be nerdy on-screen, but in real life they scrub up pretty well. But Daniel Moder – see this guy and you'll instantly think "nerd." He just possesses that stereotypical look, and has a job which just enhances his position on the nerd scale. Daniel, rather than being in front of the cameras, spends his time behind them. He's a cinematographer, and is probably one of the best around. He's imparted his magic on a ton of movies over the years, and on some steamy celebs too. He met his first wife, the stunning makeup artist, Vera Steimberg, in the mid-90s, although things petered out pretty soon. Then superstar actress Julia Roberts came along. They wed in 2002, are still together, and have added three kids to their family. Daniel Moder's got that nerdy charm about him, and it's worked wonders on the dating front.

So this past Saturday was my sorority's spring formal, and now that I'm an alumna of the chapter, it made me so nostalgic to see everyone's pictures on Facebook.
So...let's take a little walk down memory lane and relive some past formals, shall we? Spoiler: I wear a lot of J. Crew.
If you're wondering where Spring 2008, and anything from 2009-2010 was: I didn't go. I was studying abroad for the formal in spring 2010 and the others I had reasons that I forget.
I MISS FORMALS! And college!

Your dress from senior year is absolutely stunning. I, too, am in a sorority and formals are one of my favorite things!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness I miss this!!!!!! So many memories :)ReplyDelete
SO pretty! We never had formals at my college (and sororities aren't very big up here), and I so wish we had! The one year I did was the one I was studying in England, and it was fantastic! I love all of these dresses...I really think we need to invent more reasons to wear fancy dresses once we've graduated. :)ReplyDelete

The Books of Which I am Most Proud
A SONG TO MY SOUL A SONG TO MY SOUL is a collection of poems and prose, which look at the world in a new way. The hope of this book is to remind the reader just how mystical and magical every day in this world is. It seeks to glimpse the religion beyond religion in […]
God is "WITH" us: the scandal of the Gospel
Matthew's Gospel begins and ends with the statement, or the promise, that God is "with" us. The word "with" does not only mean company, as in God is in our presence. The word "with" also is used as "for" and "solidarity." We tells someone, "I am with you," meaning: "I am for what you are doing," or "I am in solidarity with you." The word "with" also is used to mean "understand." When someone who is listening to someone says: "I am with you," they mean: "I understand what you are saying." So Jesus as God With Us is a declaration that God is in our presence, God understands us, and God is for us and in solidarity with us. As Karl Barth says: Jesus is God's "Yes!" to humanity.
Mission Possible: Living Like a Saint (All Saints Day)
Being a Christian is not about not doing things that are wrong, but it is about doing things that are right. It is about adopting a certain attitude that fuels those right behaviors that are positive and proactive and which transforms us as well as the world.
What Does "Catholic" Mean?
Every week, in churches all over the world, Christians confess belief in "the catholic church." Some Christians do so by reciting the Apostles' Creed which confesses belief in "the holy catholic church," and others use the Nicene Creed which uses the phrase "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church." So for many, if not most, Christians, faith in a "catholic" church is a central part of their beliefs.
But what does the term "catholic" church mean? The simple truth for most Christians is that the "Catholic Church" they confess each week probably does not mean what they think it means.
Fundamentalist at my door: Are you saved? Me: (Smiling broadly) That's a very interesting question. I guess I would have to answer: Yes, I am ALREADY saved, as the Bible says in Romans 8:24 and Ephesians 2:5-8. But, I would also have to say that I am BEING saved as it says in 1 Corinthians […]
Sola Scriptura and why I am no longer a Protestant
One of the problems I have always had is that I tend to believe what I believe. I take what I believe seriously. This is one of the reasons why I left the Reformed Tradition. (This is in no way an attempt to bad-mouth the Reformed Tradition, only to explain a point of view that […]
Good Friday
Jesus said to pray for your enemies, so you better start praying for yourself! When you start talking torture, when you withhold justice, when you withhold food for the hungry, drink to the thirsty, money for the poor, medicine and medical care to the sick, when you hate, when you spend billions on a jet […]

V.265. Was this Salome Maltby?
I think the Champion Genealogy contains the following:
"John Lyman, b. 1778; mar. Salome Maltby of East Hartford,Conn." The John Lyman, executer of the will of John (5) Maltby would there- fore have been brother-in-law of John(5). (Norfolk Church Records, Vol. III)
"Communicants. 1826. Salome Maltby."
V.267. John Maltby, b. Feb. 13, 1786, Woodbury, Conn. (Noah 4, Jos.3, Dan.2, Wm.1. He is evidently the John Maltby mentioned in Boyd's "Annals of Winchester, Conn.," as follows:
"John Maltbie came into the society a single man and mar. in 1812, Deborah, dau. of Reuben Scovill, and had children whose names are not known. Died Aug. 17, 1827, aged 42."
"Sept. 1, 1827, John Lyman of New Hartford, appointed guardian of Huldah Maltbie, about 14, Ephraim Maltbie, about 11, and Deborah Maltbie, about 2 years, children of John Maltbie, deceased." (Norfolk Probate Rec., Vol. II, p. 528)
"Will of John Maltby of Winchester, dated May 30, 1827; proved Aug. 20, 1827."
"To my youngest daughter, Deborah, $100 more than to my other two children.
I give to my daughter, Huldah, one side saddle and her mother's trunk.
To my son Ephraim my chest and other furniture.
I give to Huldah and Ephraim all the books that have got their names in--the rest to Deborah.
John Lyman of New Hartford, Executer."
Note. Apparently his wife, Deborah, was dead, as he does not mention her. I think John Lyman was his brother-in-law, who mar. Salome Maltby, of New Hartford.
John Lyman was born in 1778.
Children: VI.686. Huldah Maltby, b. about 1813. VI.687. Ephraim Scovill Maltby, b. Aug. 16, 1816. VI.688. Deborah Maltby, b. about 1825.
I have a note, "One of these daughters mar. a Weed, and had a son, Erwin Weed, who resided in Bristol, Conn."
V.268. Jonathan Maltby, b. Jan. 9, 1772 (Jonathan 4, Jos.3, Dan.2, Wm.1). Mar. Susanna Horsford of Vershire, Vermont. He d. Jan. 12, 1862 aged 90. She born April 6, 1776, dau. of Joseph Horsford and Mary Peters. She d. Sept. 10, 1862, aged 87.
Children: VI.689. Luvia Maltby, b. Oct. 7, 1798; d. Mar. 30, 1830, Vershire, Vt. VI.690. Samuel Miles Maltby, b. May 4, 1800. VI.691. Jonathan " b. Jan.7, 1802; d.June 13, 1826, unmarried. VI.692. Lydia Maltby, b. Oct. 29, 1803; d. Sept. 2, 1827, ae. 24. VI.693. Mary " b. Feb. 4, 1805; d. Dec. 23, 1830, ae. 25. VI.694. Isaac " b. July 17, 1806; d. May 23, 1883, in Nebraska. VI.695. Joseph H. " b. June 19, 1808; d. Mar. 6, 1852.

Greetings, Future Tensers,
This is a very special day for us: It marks the launch of a project that we're very excited to share with you, Futurography. Designed as a series of monthlong courses, Futurography aims to introduce readers to the questions and issues that will shape our tomorrows. This month, we'll be exploring geoengineering, the planned modification of our planet's environment to combat climate change. Though many scientists fear that these technologies will do more harm than good, others believe that they may be the only way to reverse the damage we've already done. With our conversational introduction to the topic and our schematic cheat sheet, we hope to give you the tools you need to join conversations that are more important than ever in the wake of the recent Paris climate accords. Stick with us in the weeks ahead as we go deeper with incisive articles and arguments from experts in the field.
Futurography isn't the only big recent undertaking from Slate's technology team. Facebook gave Will Oremus unprecedented access to the inner workings of its constantly mutating news algorithm. The result is a fascinating and far-ranging article that helps explain how Facebook's thinking shapes our own and examines the state of social media more generally. Among other things, it helps to explain why Twitter might be fiddling with its character limits or restoring access to deleted tweets from politicians. Next month, Futurography will expand on these questions by further exploring the role algorithms play in modern life more generally, and we hope you'll join us for the journey. Let us know if you have any questions that you'd like us to investigate or explain.
In the meantime, here are some of the other stories that had us weighing our drones:
- Firefight: Arizona State University professor Stephen J. Pyne provided some much needed context to the Oregon standoff by exploring the history of fire management.
- "Brain training": Lumosity, which claimed it could sharpen your mind with neuroscience-based video games, just settled deceptive-advertising charges with the Federal Trade Commission.
- Racism: Though a racially focused dating site created an online furor this week, hardly anyone seems to actually be using it. Small victories!
- Cyber(in)security: Lily Hay Newman rounded up the biggest, baddest hacks of 2015. Here's the short version: There were a lot of them, they were big, and they were bad.
- Robots are starting to look suspiciously familiar, but how realistic do we really want them to be? Join Future Tense in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Jan. 20, at noon to explore the future of human-robot interaction. Lunch will be provided; bring your own robot. Click here to learn more.
Modifying the albedo,
Jacob Brogan

From the back cover: Lee Siegel, author of Laughing Matters: The Comic Tradition in India
'Sparkling with enthusiasm and wit, the text is sustained with Otto's love of her subject and informed by both her erudition and her very good sense of humor. Undaunted by the vastness of her subject and its resources, she presents a dazzling and entertaining collection of quotes, anecdotes, epigraphs, jokes, and comic texts. This is a fun book, bristling with pleasurable details.'
Colour: 'Shared laughter' by Liebling
From the back cover: W.J.F. Jenner, author of The Tyranny of History: The Roots of China's Crisis
'Beatrice Otto has brought jesters back onto center stage, and their routines turn out to be surprisingly good. This exhilarating journey through courts from one end of Eurasia to the other shows court jesters as far more significant and more fun than one might expect. It should be as fascinating to the student of European cultures as to the sinologist; as valuable to the theater scholar as to the anthropologist; as intriguing for what it tells about the nature of monarchy as about the nature of humor and satire across cultures.'

An hour long radio programme on WNPR dedicated to fools and jesters, hosted by Colin McEnroe, with Beatrice and some excellent other contributors.

Article - The court jester is universal ... but is he still relevant?
A look at the role of the court jester and its potential in modern organisations, including a job description if you need a fool to improve productivity and well-being in your outfit.
Cambridge University Management and Organization Review, September 2015, 11:3 pp. 559-73
'Our understanding of the jester will never be the same after Beatrice Otto's valuable book, which so fruitfully sounds the resonances between the European, the Chinese, the Egyptian and the Indian traditions. Her final plea for jesters in the world of Bush, Sarkozy and Putin is timely.'

'This turns out to be a most learned study of the role of the court jester in world history. It looks as if it began life as a thesis, but it is to Beatrice Otto's credit that only seldom does it read like one, and she manages to cover an astonishing range of cultural references without the narrative losing momentum.'
© David Profumo, Literary Review, March 2001
Colour: 'fool's gold' by Kaycee
'Despite this book's impressive scholarship, it is never pedantic. Otto writes with a contagious enthusiasm, and tells dozens of ancient stories with the wit of a comedian. The book could easily be made into a documentary on the History Channel, or even a Broadway play.'

'Entertaining, enlightening, and splendidly researched … A pleasure to read, this book was clearly a labor of love: engagingly written, assiduously documented, finely illustrated, and handsomely designed.'

TPB Co-Founder Found Guilty in Hacking Trial
It looks like Gottfrid Svartholm has been found guilty of hacking CSC, a company that works with the Danish government.
This morning the Court of Frederiksberg found both Gottfrid and his accomplice guilty of hacking-related offenses concerning CSC. Confidential information including police drivers' license records, social security information plus criminal records were accessed unlawfully during 2012. Dismissing the remote control defense, Judge Ulla Otken said the hacking of CSC had been both "systematic and comprehensive."

Brach's Bridge Mix
You might wonder why my Halloween review is of Bridge Mix. It's because it's actually the scariest candy on the market today. Every maker has a different set of what they include in their mix, and because everything is coated in chocolate, it's a game of Russian Roulette if you're a picky eater.
If I were to rank candies according to age demographics, most results would land where I expected. Super sour candies are targeted to tweens, dark chocolate to adult women and sweet and savory candies to men who love sports. And the sales data pretty much bears that out. Then there's Bridge Mix. First of all, Bridge Mix doesn't seem to have any sort of marketing campaign associated with it. But if you were to find out how old the average buyer is, I'm going to guess somewhere around 73.
I picked up the Brach's Bridge Mix because the package made it look appealing and compared to some of the other chocolate bag offerings lately, it seemed like a good value. The package is vague, but it mentions that it's a mix of all natural milk and dark chocolate. However, there was no listing on the back of the package as to what the actual items inside would be. The front just showed the coated pieces ... the ingredients were so long, all I could say for sure is that I could expect raisins, peanuts, sugar and Brazil nuts inside the chocolate.
My first impression upon opening the bag was good. It's a resealable bag that holds a 8.7 ounces which makes for a full cereal bowl of candy. The pieces look good, they're shiny and for the most part distinctive. I thought I could tell which were peanuts and raisins, though the larger spheres were a mystery.
The ingredients listed Brazil nuts and the picture on the front shows a piece that really looks like a chocolate covered Brazil nut. No such item appears in the bag. Maybe my mix was missing the Brazil nuts ... it was certainly not sufficiently randomized for my tastes.
Though it's all natural chocolate, there are a lot of not-so-natural items in there, too. There's also gelatin, which was hard to find on the list if you're vegetarian.
Cherry Jelly Ball covered in Dark Chocolate were one of two that I could reliably pick out of the mix. It's a big, very strongly cherry flavored jelly ball covered in dark chocolate. I was hoping there would be other flavors, but this was it. The jelly center is nice, dense and very floral. However, there's a grainy sugar layer in there that messed with the texture and sweetness level. I don't like cherry candies, but I thought this was a refreshing item to have in a mix ... and it was easy for me to avoid.
White Sugar Cream covered in Dark Chocolate - if you've ever wanted a York Peppermint Pattie without the mint flavor, this might be your candy. But the fondant in the center is hard and grainy ... so it's not really a good texture combination at all. The dark chocolate outside is in a much larger ratio than most other mint candies, which is fine because that's the only flavor you're going to get out of this thing. I felt like about 1/4 of my bag was filled with these. I would bite them in half to see if it was a large peanut or something else and then toss the other half when I found it was the fondant ball.
Milk Chocolate Malted Milk Ball - I'd like to have a long and wonderful commentary here, but that photo of the one bitten in half is the only one I got in this bag. I've been searching for Brach's Milk Chocolate Milk Balls for a couple of years, and found that this Bridge Mix is the only place I can find them ... and I got one lousy one. I didn't savor it enough to be able to review it.
Dark Chocolate Covered Peanut - excellent. The peanuts have skins on them, which I enjoy. It highlighted the bitterness of the chocolate. The peanut had a light touch of salt, and though not large, they were crunchy and deeply roasted.
Milk Chocolate Covered Peanut - not as good as the dark one, the milk chocolate hides the peanut notes somehow, but after stumbling across so many of those fondant balls, I was happy to have these.
Milk Chocolate Brown Sugar Ball - I have no idea what this is. The center was not grainy, not smooth, not flavorful, not appealing. It tasted sweet, but also dusty. I just have no idea what the point was, except to fool me into thinking that I was going to get a Malted Milk Ball.
Milk Chocolate Covered Raisins - pretty good. The raisins were soft and chewy, not tough or tacky. The raisins dominated, the chocolate was sweeter than the actual dried fruit but didn't contribute more than texture to the experience.
The one item that was easy to pick out were the little flattened bullets that came in both milk and dark chocolate.
Milk Chocolate Covered Nut Brittle - the chocolate coating isn't as thick as the other candies, but that didn't matter. The center of this little morsel is a nicely made, crispy nut brittle. There may be Brazil nuts in there, but definitely peanuts. It's salty, it's barely sweet and I'd like to just buy a bag of these.
Dark Chocolate Covered Nut Brittle - the dark chocolate version was even better, as it enhanced the roasted nut flavors.
I've come away with an appreciation for people who simply throw caution to the wind and pop a handful of candy pieces in their mouth. I'm not a Bridge Mix person. In fact, this bag of candy made me angry. There were good things in it, but too many horrible things. There's no listing anywhere that I can find that says what kind of candy is even in the bag ... it's as if Brach's is evasive and doesn't want to commit to what they might put in there on any given day. I ended up with a pile of half bitten candies on my desk after I determined what I did and didn't like ... I spit out the other halves in the trash. It was, in the end, a bad value for me, since I ate so little of it, though, technically, I finished the bag.
I really just wanted some Malted Milk Balls.

Max Verstappen says he did not opt for a more cautious approach to the start of the Canadian Grand Prix, where he lost a battle for second place with Valtteri Bottas.
Verstappen started well from third on the grid and had the inside line coming into Turn 1, but Bottas defended sternly when he had the ideal position for the next corner. Verstappen eventually backed off and would get no closer to passing Bottas for the rest of the race.
The Dutchman has been the subject of much criticism this year after an incident at each of the opening six races but he insists there was no change in mindset.
When asked if the start was his only chance to pass the Mercedes driver, he told Sky Sports: "Looking back yes. But you try.
"The start was okay, maybe could have been a bit better, but I didn't want to squeeze Valtteri off the track at the start. The start is okay but I don't want to go too deep because I don't know what Sebastian is going to do. We had a little kiss over there [at Turn 2]. And you have to settle for third, that is how it is."
Verstappen had been agitated coming in to the weekend, with repeated questions about previous race incidents leaving him visibly frustrated during Friday's press conference. The Dutchman had said he felt like he "might headbutt" the next person to ask him an awkward question but he denied he was harnessing anger into a strong performance.
"Honestly I don't think so. I always want a good weekend, and of course I am always motivated to have a good weekend. So I also think if I would do something different because of that, then normally I'm not doing a good job because I am not on it, or 100 percent on it.
"Some drivers are like that. When they get a bit angry they can perform better. I'm normally not really an angry person. Maybe some other people have a different opinion."

It's a rematch of last summer's World Cup final when Japan, who won the match, and the United States face off for the gold medal on Thursday night at London's famed Wembley Stadium. The United States is a -107 favorite.
Japan beat France 2-1 and the United States defeated Canada 4-3 in extra time in their semifinal matches. Japan opened a two-goal lead against France and then held on for the victory, surviving a missed penalty kick by the French in the final minutes.
The U.S. came from behind three times to send the match against Canada into extra time, then got an injury-time winner from Alex Morgan to advance. She headed the ball into the net after a cross by Heather O'Reilly as time was about to expire, putting the U.S. in the gold medal match for the fifth straight time.
Morgan had not scored since her two-goal performance in the USA's 4-2 victory against France in the Group G opener on July 25. O'Reilly had entered the game in 101st minute for Lauren Cheney and picked up her first assist of the 2012 Olympics. Megan Rapinoe scored in the 54th and 70th minutes for the USA, and Abby Wambach converted the penalty kick in the 80th for the U.S. Canada's Christine Sinclair, who had a hat trick vs. the Americans, and Wambach are now tied for second all-time with 143 international goals apiece, both chasing Mia Hamm's world record of 158.
Morgan has a team-high 20 goals this year, moving into a tie for fourth place on the all-time list for goals during a calendar year with Hamm (1998), Kristine Lilly (1999) and Wambach (2007), who all had 20 goals in their respective campaigns.
The USA has won gold in three out of the four Olympic women's soccer tournaments that have been contested previously while also taking a silver medal in 2000. The USA had two different leads in the World Cup final last year but Japan eventually triumphed in the penalty kick shootout. The Japanese will try to become the first team to win the Women's World Cup and Olympic crown in back-to-back years.

This chapter differentiates parts of theoretical fashions and treatments of generalized anxiousness dysfunction (GAD) which have received substantial empirical help from those with much less empirical support. It discusses the sequencing of particular person remedy components, potential obstacles to the profitable implementation of remedy, and ways to deal with the obstacles. Treatments primarily based on theoretical models of GAD have been developed. Emotional/behavioral models embrace the emotion dysregulation mannequin and the acceptance-based model. Treatments based on these models integrate cognitive behavioral remedy (CBT) techniques with novel methods derived from mindfulness and emotion regulation concept. Among interventions included in CBT packages, few would query that the 2 most studied and supported for GAD are cognitive remedy (CT) and relaxation coaching (RT). Only relaxation training and CBT have been famous as empirically supported remedies for GAD by the American Psychological Association.

Find The Humans: A cartoon and comic project
I'm a huge fan of Adventure time and I really wanted to creat something similar in blender as a short series for Youtube/Vimeo. I've been playing around with Blender's toon shader and have managed to get some acceptable results. I just need to get the animation down better which will also help for the animated 'Fall City' which will be a little more unforgiving.
The Humans have dissapeared from the galaxy and their servant AI's have started to explore and live life for themselves. A small group can't live without answering the question, where did the humans go? They travel across the cosmos in search of clues to find their former masters. Zorg and his robots have different plans and do not want to look for the humans in case they try to enslave him. He will do anything to stop the small group from looking.
- A former maid. A mature and brave robot who looks after the smaller BuBa.
- Small entertainment system bot. Brave, sometimes a little too brave for his size but packs a powerfull suprise up his sleave.
Little Johnny 4
- BuBa's little suprise.
- Huge and powerful, he used to be a demolisher bot. He aids his friends on their journey, protecting them from enemies.
- Robotic overlord supreme commander of the Static Alliance. Will stop at nothing to stop BuBa and the crew.
*These names will most probably change in future.
The main tools being used for Find The Humans are Blender and Gimp. Audacity will be used for the animation.

Branle Playing Cards by NoirArts (NPCC)
Name of the deck was inspired by Branle, 12th-century French chain dance adopted (c. 1450–c. 1650) by European aristocrats, especially in France and in England, where the word branle was anglicized as "brawl."
Aristocrats frequently performed pantomimic branles in which they scolded each other like washerwomen or courted (as in the branle de Poitou, the possible ancestor of the minuet). Certain branles, especially in France, were designated for specific age groups, such as the lively branle de Bourgogne for the youngest dancers.

Branle Playing Cards deck portrays history and culture of 16-17 centuries. Each of the suits can be associated with a particular European country. For example, the peaks - Britain, hearts - France, clubs - Spain and diamonds - Eastern Europe (Rzeczpospolita, Transylvania, Hungary). Suits are not linked to these countries directly, but the association is undoubtedly present. It is more like an alternative view to the real European history and culture of that era.
Only 800 decks will be ever printed and will be limited for Kickstarter backers only. Each deck will have numbered custom seal.

I thought I would spend some time on some beginner topics to help out people who may be new to Powershell. The first few topics I will talk about will be items to help get you started and find more information as you go along. I hope to bring people some new information that they may not have known or realized when they first looked at Powershell.
The first topic will be the Get-Help cmdlet that is available in all versions of Powershell. To find out specifics in your version, you can use the following command:
Get-Help Get-Help
No, you are not seeing double. I am actually having you use the Get-Help cmdlet on the Get-Help cmdlet. I know, it seems like a strange joke, but it works. As you will see in further examples, I fully qualify the parameter that is being used (in this case, it would be the -Name parameter).
The Get-Help cmdlet displays information from the help files in Powershell. Not only can you find out about the cmdlets in Powershell, but you can also use it to find information on concepts in Powershell. For example, you can use the following command:
Get-Help -Name about_*
You will get a list of topics that Powershell can do and how to accomplish some different types of tasks. For instance, if you want to find out information about variable scopes in Powershell, you can use this:
Get-Help -name about_scopes
Some new things in Powershell version 3 is the ability to show the help in a different window. Try this, for example:
Get-Help Get-Command -ShowWindow
You should see a new window popup that includes all the help information for the Get-Command cmdlet
Now, suppose you need help information on the New-Item cmdlet, but you just want to see how it might be used. Instead of getting all the description information, you can just ask for the "examples" from the help information:
Get-Help -Name New-Item -Examples
Now you will see a list of all the examples for the help file.
One final note…if you are using Powershell version 3, you might fire up your console and find that you don't have any help files available, or at the very least, minimal help files. Don Jones has written a full explanation of why this happens here. The quick answer is that the help files are no longer included as part of the core OS and can now be updated at will by using the Update-Help cmdlet. When you use it, however, make sure to run the console as Administrator so that the files can be updated properly.
The last tidbit I will leave with you is to ALWAYS check the help files. There have been many times that I have spent hours trying to figure something out and then smacked myself in the head for not looking the help where the answer was…plain as day.

The most glamorous film festival in the world just kicked off at the French Riviera.
And some of the hottest women in the world — including our very own Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Freida Pinto — will descend onto the 70th Cannes Film Festival, ensuring all eyeballs are trained onto that crimson-hued carpet.
While we wait for the Cannes red carpet veterans to put the 'red hot' in red carpet, Deepika made her Cannes debut at the uber- glamorous Cannes 2017 Opening Gala last night alongside Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Victoria's Secret model Sara Sampaio, and the sinfully sexy Monica Bellucci amongst others.

Duel in the Sun (1946) [Pearl Chavez]: Shot in the chest by Gregory Peck after she shoots him first. Although mortally wounded, she manages to crawl along the hills and make her way to him; they die in each other's arms.
