When homosexuals are treated here for what most Chinese doctors regard as their mental illness, they are sometimes given painful electric shocks to discourage erotic thoughts.
An alternative approach is to offer herbal medicines that induce vomiting. In either case, the idea is to stimulate an extremely unpleasant reaction that will be associated thereafter with erotic thoughts, and thus reduce the patients' ardor.
Both approaches are hailed by doctors here as remarkably successful in ''curing'' homosexuality. They say they have received grateful letters from people who were desperate for help in changing their sexual orientation.
''These are people who haven't committed a crime, but their families are very upset and they send the people to the doctor,'' said Gao Caiqin, a pioneer in sex studies in China. ''Some of these homosexuals were ready to commit suicide. After being cured they are very, very grateful, and they are in tears as they hug us in gratitude.''
Topic Is Little Discussed
''There was the case of a 17-year-old boy who already had had 12 homosexual partners, all because he had seen a Japanese movie with a very handsome male star,'' Miss Gao continued. ''The boy fell in love with the star, and wanted to be a woman so he could find a man just like the movie star. After he was cured, he was extremely happy, and he kissed the doctors on the cheeks to show his thanks.''Continue reading the main story
Homosexuality is rarely discussed in China's press or in routine conversations. Most Chinese assert that they have never known a homosexual and that there must be extremely few in Chinese society.
In large cities, particularly in the southern city of Canton, homosexuals meet in certain bars or parks. They sometimes refer to each other in the Cantonese dialect as geilo, or gay guy.
There are no advocacy groups for homosexuals in China. But if the nation lacks an outspoken gay community, it also lacks the invective and bitter hostility that is sometimes directed toward homosexuals in the West.
There are no common insults in Chinese related to sexual orientation. Most Chinese frown on homosexuality, but characterize it as improper or in poor taste rather than as a sin.
Occasional Arrests
The police generally are oblivious to signals of homosexuality, in part because it is common for Chinese of the same sex to hold hands as a sign of friendship. But homosexuals are occasionally arrested and sentenced to brief jail terms, usually on the vague charge of ''hooliganism.''
Miss Gao, who at 56 is probably China's best-known specialist on sexual issues, acknowledges that she does not know what percentage of the Chinese population is homosexual. But she asserts that the incidence is lower than in the West. In a study she conducted of 1,000 men, she reported finding three who were homosexual. She believes that the incidence is higher among women.
She said that all of the homosexuals she has treated have submitted voluntarily to the electric shocks or emetics and that the police were not involved in identifying the patients. Miss Gao said she had not considered whether such remedies should be forced upon people who have been arrested for homosexuality.
The philosophical justification for the remedies is the Chinese perspective that homosexuality is abnormal rather than simply an alternative preference.
Not a Sin, but 'Abnormal'
''We think it is caused by an unhealthy mentality,'' Miss Gao said. ''It is not a sin, but it is abnormal and a mental disease, and it can be cured.''
Homosexuality is but one of the subjects that Miss Gao has researched in recent years as she seeks to lift some taboos on discussion of sexual matters. Although sexuality was frankly discussed and sex manuals were circulated for much of China's history, the establishment of the Qing dynasty in 1644 introduced a prudishness that continues.
Miss Gao became interested in sexuality after she was appointed director of a new Institute of Marriage and Family in 1980. She found that marital tensions were often caused by sexual disputes or by impotence, and that couples often had nowhere to turn for help.
Since then she has written two popular books about sex, founded a Sexual Studies Association with 200 members, and organized a new institute on sexual research. The research institute, with a staff of 20, will publish China's first magazine devoted to sexual topics and operate a small clinic to help patients with what it perceives to be sexual disorders. Harbin has become a leading center for such research.
''Interest in sexual studies is growing rapidly,'' said Lian Xiuli, a 27-year-old woman who works as an aide to Miss Gao in the new institute. ''It will become an important field.''
Miss Lian said one of the goals of the new frankness was to encourage women to regard sex as an experience to be enjoyed rather than endured.
''We're not striving for free sex, but for sexual liberation,'' Miss Lian said. ''Women used to be very passive in sexual activity, but that is changing. They should know that they have a right to enjoy it.''Continue reading the main story

Google chemistry. Go to the images tab. What do you see?
Probably a variety of pictures but I'm guessing a significant majority involve laboratory glassware (which is not the sole property of the chemists) filled with brightly coloured liquids. There's probably also a couple of your mad professor types in there, and a few images of childhood chemistry sets (ah those were the days…).
It is a load of crap.
Some of the most interesting and exciting chemistry in the world produces the dullest white powders imaginable. You've all experienced them, many people take those chemicals every day in the form of medications. Other incredibly elegant aspects of chemistry manifest themselves in liquids, gases, solutions and solids of a variety types. Again, all around us – we wear them, cook with them, wash ourselves in them and are entertained by them.
I do not understand why a subject of such universal usefulness and elegance must constantly be reduced to a series of food dyes in oddly shaped bottles. Yes there are coloured chemicals. Yes, the colour of certain compounds are incredibly beautiful, but if I were to take a poll in my department, I would be able to establish that something like 80+% of the research that goes on involves colourless substances. I understand that its 'visually appealing' and even 'photogenic', but look closely at those photos – the majority make no sense at all. There is no logical scientific reason why those items of glassware have been filled with those concoctions and placed together, and it is not an accurate portrayal of the subject (some may even say it is as much a betrayal as the 'mad chemist' stereotype).
When I say I'm a chemist, many people say 'oh I did that at high school'. They will follow it up by asking what the pretty blue stuff was. It is usually copper sulfate. Then they'll wistfully recall the moments when an experiment went wrong in a dramatic or amusing way. Then they'll say it was too hard for them so they did subject X instead. I have to get out of the habit of replying to that with 'I found it easy' because its a real conversation stopper.
Anyway, I'd like to ban the coloured liquid filled lab-ware nonsense but I'm not sure what it should be replaced with. Any suggestions?

Summary of KGB Defector's
Yuri Bezmenov's 1984
All warfare is based primarily on the deception of an enemy. ..There is no art higher than to destroy your enemy without a fight—by SUBVERTING anything of value in the enemy's country. -Sun Tzu
The cleanest way is to blackmail, pervert, bribe, lie and intimidate the LEADERS and the MEDIA, and they will destabilize & disunify their own country for us. Arm the procommunist or criminal factions and we have a coup; another "liberated" country.
Psychological warfare breaks down the opposite side's home defenses without a shot being fired, is waged by Soviet Communism throughout the communication media. -John Rees "Accuracy in Media"
Whether anyone is on payroll for the KGB or not, whether he helps to spread Communism willingly or by ignorance, whether he is punished or at large - is immaterial. What matters is the final sum of our individual actions, decisions, and compromise with our conscious. This is where every one of us is accountable to the future and God.
-Alex Kosachov
As a war-time child, Yuri survived partly thanks to such "decadent capitalist'" (as the Soviets say) things as "Spam" meat, condensed milk and egg powder that were supplied to my country by the USA. For former KGB agent, Yuri Bezmenoz tells us these foods were a symbol of love from a friend when I was in need. "No amount of communist propaganda against America has ever been able to convince me that the United States out to "colonize and exploit.""
Defectors like Yuri, left behind relative affluence and risking death to join the "progressive workers paradise" in Russia to come to America, willing to be "exploited by capitalists" and enjoy "oppression" with Americans because they knew -- America IS A BETTER place.
Yuri entreats us; "Whether you believe it or not, YOU ARE AT WAR. And you may lose this war very soon, together with all your affluence and freedoms, unless you start defending yourselves." He calls it "World Communist Aggression", and tells "this war is fought against YOU-- personally."
Yuri continues, "Communist wars of world aggression are not fought for liberty and equality. We have thousands of unequivocal examples of the horrendous human suffering, torture and mass death that occur after a Soviet "liberation." The final stage of Communist aggression-- military confrontation-- has very little to do with geopolitical gains in order to free and liberate. It is a total war against humanity and human civilization. In Communist propaganda terms, the former head of the Soviet KGB, called this war, "the final struggle for the MINDS and hearts of the people."
The driving force of this war has very little to do with natural aspirations of people for better lives and greater freedoms. … this war of aggression is IDEOLOGY-- conducted by IDEOLOGICAL SUBVERSION-- the process of changing the perception of reality in the minds of millions of peoples all over the world.
Having been trained and used by the KGB for their global ideological subversion campaign, Yuri had first¬hand knowledge about the methods they use. He knew their ultimate goals, which are very far from the liberty, equality and freedom they verbally espouse. Because he had seen the tragic consequences of subversion, Yuri has given us information on how to SURVIVE in this "final struggle for minds and hearts."
United States as the last real frontier of freedom. This is it, dear Americans, your country (and mine now) will be the last to be "liberated" by Marxists, socialists, and domestic "do-gooders." If the "liberationists" succeed in bringing their "New Order" to America, chances are you and I will meet in front of a firing squad-- or worse in a "re-education" forced labor camp in the Alaskan Peoples Democratic Republic.
There are too many concrete examples of what Communist "liberation" has done in other countries to pretend Yuri is wrong when he warns the U.S. is on the brink of disaster. No matter how many problems the U.S. may have, it is nothing in comparison if the U.S. continues to agree and sympathize with communist/ socialist doctrines.
We have nothing to risk by listening to Yuri & discerning as to whether he is a "cold war paranoiac," as U.S. media calls him, or whether my message makes sense. (See his lectures and interviews posted on Youtube.com)
YURI"S STORY: He was brought up under the shadow of comrade Stalin, however, unlike certain Western intellectuals and liberals, he did not require half a century to realize the "leaders" of the USSR are self-imposed dictators-- mass murderers, and the ideology of Marxism-Leninism is an absolutely false system -- early morning bread lines, because there was so little to eat; the frequents arrests of "enemies of the people" and the omnipresent fear of the KGB, the actual ruthless exploitation of India by Soviet neo-colonialists he witnessed first-hand.
Is it that the Indians were stupid, ignorant people, that they allow the Soviets to deceive them? On the contrary for the most part, they were innocent victims of one of the world's most sophisticated con games; "Ideological Subversion". They have been psychologically manipulated through media, politics, etc. into believing that the Soviets are their friends who are protecting them from the "Western imperialists." This same subversion game is being played all over the world-- even in America, KGB influence in our media, politics, & education has produced a growing conviction on the part of many Americans that we are the "bad guys"—
Yuri believed in "Socialism with a human face." That faith was shattered irreparably only five years later, when he witnessed the brutal Soviet military intervention into "fraternal" Czechoslovakia in 1968.
He discovered about 75% of his employer, Novosti Press Agency's staffers were actually KGB officers; the other 25%, were "co-optees," or KGB freelance writers & informers like himself. He also discovered there was no "news" at Novosti. His main job, was the spreading of "disinformation" to foreign countries for the purposes of Soviet propaganda and subversion.
In addition to the bribery and corruption of Indian officials, blackmail and intrusion into the internal affairs of India, the Soviets went one step further in their 'brotherly assistance' to open a new department innocently titled "Research and Counter-Propaganda Group." Yuri became a deputy chief. There was neither "research" nor "counter-propaganda". Behind locked doors they accumulated intelligence from various sources, including Indian informers and agents, regarding virtually EVERY important and politically significant citizen
Those who were "friendly" and ready to invite the Soviet expansionist policy into their own country were promoted to higher positions. Those who refused to be "flexible" and take a voluntary role in this cruel farce were thoroughly character-assassinated.
One example of how the KGB uses the information it collects was that in 1968, after the S. Vietnamese city of Hue had been captured by the Hanoi Communists, and was re-captured by the US Army and allied forces, only two days later, the CIA discovered to their horror that several thousand Vietnamese-- teachers, priests, Buddhists, businessmen, and educated citizens-- everyone who was "pro-American," had been rounded up by the invaders and IN ONE NIGHT, taken out of the city limits and executed.
All of these people within only a few hours in a large city?"-- the Americans wondered. Long before the invasion there was an extensive network of Communist informers filing every bit of information: addresses, personal habits, political affiliations, expressed ideas, unexpressed thoughts revealed in informal and private conversations, even the names and addresses of relatives, friends, even lovers and mistresses of the future victims of "liberation";
Yuri's KGB supervisor coached him: "Don't bother with prostitutes; there is nothing more dangerous than disillusioned "true believers" in Communism. Soviets have absolutely no shame in executing their own "converts."
Yuri defected to become a freelance writer and political analyst, trying-- though not always successfully, to awaken the Western populace to the realities of life under the Soviet system and to the IDEOLOGICAL SUBVERSION that is being practiced upon them daily.
The art of duping the masses into doing things to their own disadvantage and making them believe it is "the will of people" is as ancient as mankind itself. Yuri explains the essence of subversion is best expressed in the famous Marxist slogan, (if you substitute "proletarians" for a more appropriate word): "Useful idiots of the world UNITE!" To achieve the desired effect, the subverter must first make idiots out of normal people, and DIVIDE them, before turning the people into a homogenized mass of useful and united idiots. Tanks and missiles may or may not be needed at final stage. For the time being they are simply the means of terrorizing people into inaction and submission.
500 years before Christ, the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu formulated the principle of subversion this way:
1. Cover with ridicule all valid traditions in your opponent's country.
2. Implicate their leaders in criminal affairs and turn them over to the scorn of their populace at the right time;
3. Disrupt the work of their government by every means;
4. Do not shun the aid of the lowest and most despicable individuals of your enemy's country.
5. Spread disunity and dispute among the citizens.
6. Turn the young against the old.
7. Be generous with promises & rewards to collaborators.
These same instructions are found in a document classified as secret, "Rules of Revolution," by the Communist International for "young revolutionaries".
1. Corrupt the young, get them interested in sex, take them away from religion. Make them superficial and enfeebled.
2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial issues of no importance.
3. Destroy people's faith in their national leaders by holding the latter up for contempt, ridicule and disgrace.
4. Always preach democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
5. By encouraging government extravagances, destroy its credit, produce years of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
6. Incite unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the government towards such disorders.
7. Cause breakdown of the old moral virtues: honesty, sobriety, self-restraint, faith in the pledged word.
I can not vouch for authenticity of this document, which, according to American conservative media was captured by the Allied forces alter WW II in defeated Germany, in Dusseldorf. But I can assure you, that these "rules" are almost a literal interpretation of Marxism's "theories and practices" which I learned from my KGB superiors and colleagues within the 'Novosti' Press Agency.
Yuri outlined for us the movement of a target nation from the state of "open society" where one can work, have private property, criticize it without fear of being declared an "enemy of people." It is a society, based on free individual initiative and the free market system, to a "closed" one.
All you have to do to "screw up" the status quo of a free nation, is to borrow ONE false idea from the ideology of a communist or totalitarian government. For example, the idea of "egalitarianism." "People born equal therefore must be equal." Sounds great. But look at yourselves. Were you born equal? Some of you weighed 7 pounds at birth, others 6 or 5... Are you NOW equal? In any way? Physically, mentally, emotionally, racially, spiritually? Now, let's figure out what will happen if we LEGISLATE EQUALITY, and make the concept of "equality" a cornerstone and pillar of socio-economical and political system. You don't have to be a great economist or sociologist to foresee that some of the people who are "less equal" would demand as much as those who are "more equal" BY LAW!
There will be some who get more for GIVING less and take advantage of those, who are even "less equal," say, in the art of TAKING. And to avoid the squabble for "equal redistribution" you will have to introduce a THIRD FORCE-- the State. People were never equal.
The best political/economic system, created by the Fathers of America, has nothing to do with LEGISLATED or enforced equality. The American Republic is based on the principle of EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES for UNEQUAL and very much DIFFERENT and diverse individuals to develop their abilities and to coexist in mutually beneficial cooperation.
Chronic instability breeds radicalism, the precondition of a power struggle which may result in violent replacement of power structures through civil war, or invasion of a "friendly and fraternal" neighbor, and ends up in state control. Depending on (or absence of) common sense, this control will manifest itself in the creation of a "closed society"-- the opposite of what we had in the beginning. Borders are closed, censorship of the media is established, "irritants" and "enemies" of the state are executed, etc.
It is possible to conquer this nation using the preconditions Yuri has described, created by Americans themselves, and diverting America's attention away from these mortally dangerous preconditions. One example is Non-critical arguments that divert America's attention from real danger. If a house was full of explosives, smart people would notice if a fire was close by and remove any flammable objects BEFORE the house catches the fire. Useful idiots will keep arguing about whether it is constitutional or not to pay firefighters, or the equality of husband and wife in domestic chores (who should remove the combustibles), until the actual explosion blows their enfeebled brains all over the neighbourhood.
It takes about 15 to 20 years to "demoralize" a nation by 'educating' ONE GENERATION of students in a target country indoctrinating them with the ideology of the subverter. It is imperative that any sufficient challenge or counter-balance by the basic moral values and ideology of this country be eliminated. In absence of ANY cohesive and consistent national ideology, subversion becomes easy. In American "education" today, ANY cohesive ideology of the original republic and the free market system is ridiculed or silenced as "intolerant". It is not even considered 'intellectual' or fashionable to subscribe to this 'outmoded' set of ideas.
DEMORALIZATION must be a TWO-WAY street. The target nation MUST be made a RECIPIENT-- passive or active-- of the IDEAS of the subverter. Democracy is by definition a RECIPIENT of a multiplicity of ideologies and values, whether good or bad. Unfortunately 'bad' ideas are often proven and revealed only after a long period of time, during which many have allowed them to change their behaviour. Ancient Japanese rulers understood this principle very well when they virtually ISOLATED their nation from ANY foreign influence-- good, bad or neutral. A nation with a neglected indigenous ideology (America)-- automatically becomes a recipient of SUBVERSION in its early stage of DEMORALIZATION.
Anyone too preoccupied with protesting the Vietnam war, the drug/ rock music scene, taking part in 'love-ins' etc., to study and prepare for assuming their civil responsibilities, are now in positions of power and decision-making in government, business, media, & culture. To return to the American values, proven to be efficient and productive for 200 years of historically unprecedented freedom and affluence, you have to educate a NEW generation of Americans, this time in the spirit of patriotism & CAPITALISM.
LEVELS OF DEMORALIZATION : IDEAS, the highest level of subversion, affects vital areas; religion, education, media, and culture. History shows the greatest upheavals were caused by IDEAS, faiths & beliefs, not KNOWLEDGE or THINGS. Few people sacrifice their comforts and lives for such trivial things as a new car or Scientific knowledge. Scientists prefer life & affluence to death for scientific truth. No one faces a firing squad for defending the truth of 2x2=4. But FAITH in the seemingly irrelevant & immaterial teachings of Jesus Christ generated such MORAL FORCE in MILLIONS of people for the past 2000 years, that people willingly accepted violent death and tortures rather than deny Christ!
Communism and its Marxist-Leninist dogma, according to some thinkers (Dr. George Steiner for one), is another distorted form of FAITH, able to inspire martyrdom in millions. Substituting the traditional values of the Judeo-Christian heritage with Marxist-Satanic faith is one of the basic principles of subversion at the stage of DEMORALIZATION at the most effective level of IDEAS. The methods are as primitive as they are predictable. You do not have to be a graduate of a KGB school or Harvard University to figure out what kind of INTERACTION between the subverter (KGB) and target (American brains) occurs on this level.
All the SUBVERTER, hell-bent on the idea of a "New World Order", has to do is study the areas where your nation's IDEAS could be eroded & substituted, then slowly but consistently affect these areas by sending infiltrating Agents of Influence to inject new ideas, disseminate propagandist literature, and encourage self-destructive tendencies.
All a subverter has to do to remove the spiritual backbone of America is to help you to POLITICIZE, COMMERCIALIZE and 'ENTERTAINMENT-ALIZE' the dominant religions or take advantage of the development of various Satanic and Death cults; preaching moral relativity and removing religion (and prayer) from schools; creating 'personality cults' in religion whereby the preacher becomes a "celebrity". Pop-musicians with a message of 'social-justice' sugar-coated in popular 'spiritual' tunes can be actually more helpful to the KGB than someone standing in the pulpit preaching Marxist-Leninist doctrine.
Politicizing religion is the most efficient method of demoralizing a target nation. Once a nation starts giving to Caesar what belongs to God, and getting God involved in such things as 'social justice' and partisan political squabbles, it predictably loses what religion calls mercy and the grace of God. To put it in 'atheistic' terms, a target country allows the subverter to use the area of moral values for dissemination and enforcement of amoral ideas and policies. The most powerful instrument of this process is an organization called World Council of Churches, infiltrated by the KGB to such extent, that it is hard to distinguish, these days, a priest from a spy.
In Yuri's visits with WCC members, some of them struck him as individuals pathologically unable to say or hear truth. They were simply allergic to any facts or opinions which would 'undermine' their 'spiritual' affiliation with the Soviet manipulators.
The result of demoralizationof religion is a phenomenon referred to as the "death wish", an expression borrowed from Soviet dissident writer,Igor Shafarevich's book; "Socialism as a Historical Phenomenon". Dr. Shafarevich, in analyzing the 'dead' civilizations of Egypt, Maya, Mohenjo-Dara, Babylon, etc., came to an ominous conclusion: EVERY ONE OF THESE CIVILIZATIONS DIED WHEN PEOPLE REJECTED GOD, AND TRIED TO CREATE 'SOCIAL JUSTICE' ALONG THE SOCIALIST PRINCIPLES. Thus, Socialism, according to Shafarevich, may be a manifestation of an inborn human instinct of SELF-DESTRUCTION, if unrestrained-- leading ultimately to PHYSICAL DEATH OF ALL MANKIND.
'MASS' EDUCATION is another area of subversion, done by Americans, to Americans, at the stage of demoralization. The Marxist-Leninist concept of education emphasizes 'environment' and 'mass' character education over individual abilities & quality. When American media enthusiastically reports (repeating Soviet propaganda cliches) about 'achievements of Soviet science,' they usually obscure the IDEOLOGICAL aspects and purposes of the Communist system of education. 'Massiveness' and 'universality' of education attracts Western sociologists and governmental bureaucracies alike. For the 'developing' nations this seems to be the easiest short-cut to many contemporary problems.
The Western public seldom receives the explanation of THE PRICE of state-controlled Socialist-type education: political conformity to dictatorship, ideological brainwashing, lack of individual, lagging behind in development of science and technology. It is a commonly known fact that most Soviet 'technological marvels' are stolen or bought from the West. Most technological research in the USSR is 'productive' only and always in the most destructive area: the military. Still, after more than half century of 'victorious Socialism,' USSR is a country without even common household refrigerators, yet boasts of their 'space exploration' & tremendous military might, & have done nothing to improve day to day life of Soviet citizens.
The American romance with state-run education as encouraged by KGB subverters has already produced generations of graduates who cannot spell, cannot read a world map, & cannot THINK independently. Would Einstein have arrived at his Theory of Relativity if he had been educated in one of today's American public schools? Most likely he would have 'discovered' marijuana and variant methods of sexual intercourse instead. Contemporary American permissiveness and moral relativity in education have greatly facilitated Soviet ideological subversion tactics.
Some methods of Soviet DEMORALIZATION of American education are:
1. Student Exchanges whereby American students and professors go to Moscow and are exposed to ideological brainwashing sometimes lacking the proper education that would allow them to assess the Soviet information they receive objectively.
2. Flooding of campus bookstores with Marxist and Socialist literature published both in the USSR and by domestic 'fellow travelers';
3. International seminars and conferences with Soviet participation, where Soviet propaganda seldom is balanced by opposing viewpoints;
4. Infiltration of schools and universities by radicals, leftists, and simply 'disturbers,' often functioning unknowingly under the direct guidance of KGB Agents of Influence.
5. Establishing numerous 'student' newspapers and magazines, staffed with Communists and sympathizers;
6. Organizing 'study groups' and 'circles' for dissemination of Soviet propaganda and Communist ideology.
A commonly known fact is that most of the most powerful media in the USA, is already MONOPOLIZED both financially & ideologically by what are referred to as 'liberals.' Communist defectors who have literally begged to have stories of their life in the Soviet Union told to the American people via the major American media have been completely ignored.Yuri explained that one of the most devastating methods of Soviet subversion in American media is the DISCREDITING of authors like myself
NON-ISSUES is another powerful method of demoralizing at the level of IDEAS. A "non-issue" has a solution which creates bigger problems for the majority, even though it may benefit a few (civil rights of homosexuals is not an issue; defending sexual morality is the larger, real issue). The main purpose of non-issues and the devastating result of their introduction is the SIDE-TRACKING of public opinion, energy (both mental and physical), money and TIME from constructive solutions. Soviet propaganda elevated the art of infiltrating and emphasizing non-issues in American public life to the level of actual state policy.
Addictive 'MASS CULTURE': A Canadian writer wrote something like this: If I were a Communist agent in America with millions of dollars, I would not waste it in bribing pubic servants … I would encourage the sleaz-smiths of that region to turnout more and more garage 'culture'... ..Anything that prompted insubordination, any-thing that contributes to confusion and exasperation would be most liberally endowed to create an adult generation that could easily go out of control. ..America would look desperately for any kind of discipline to rescue them and THERE-- pretty as a picture, would be Communism, the most iron-fisted discipline since Sparta. The victory would be bloodless... Except of course in concentration camps, torture, prisons, and few things like that. But nobody would know about that because of censorship of the press. This was written in 1959! The accuracy of this description of Subversion activity stunned Yuri.
Yes, KGB encourages DEMORALIZATION of America through the 'mass culture' by relying upon the help of the "useful idiots" of the entertainment business. No, the Beatles, Punks and Michael Jackson are not on the KGB payroll. They are on YOUR payroll. All the KGB had to do is to slowly and gradually CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDES and kill your RESISTANCE to the demoralizing addiction your kids call 'music,' make it acceptable, NORMAL; make it a part of 'American culture' where it docs not belong and never did.
In the area of "Law and Order," the method of demoralization is to promote and enforce the prevalence of the "legalistic" approach over the "moral" one. Several generations of American lawyers and law-makers, graduating from the 'liberal' (that is LEFTIST, Socialist¬oriented) schools, after long-time exposure to the Socialist IDEOLOGY, have already created an atmosphere in the U.S. judicial system whereby "underprivileged" criminals are treated as a "victims" of the "cruel American society," and the real victim (the law-abiding society) is turned into defenseless taxpayers,
By encouraging individual RIGHTS over OBLIGATIONS (private, financial, moral, patriotic etc.) subverters create a society composed of IRRESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUALS, each one "doing his own thing," and acting according to the "law of jungle." Such subversion of society is the first step to tyranny. The majority of civilian population of this nation is virtually without civil laws or protection from murderers, lunatics, criminals, etc.
American media presents a picture of CIA and FBI as a 'mirror reflection' of the KGB. False. The KGB is a POWER which systematically & ruthlessly MURDERED about SIXTY MILLION of its citizens, & still engages in killing of innocent defenseless people all over the world. How many were killed by the CIA?
'Quiet Diplomacy'; Arkady Shevchenko, the USSR representative in the UN, gave breath-taking accounts on how the Communists are using 'diplomacy' for subversion. And yet all the crowds of "experts" and "kremlinologists" are seemingly unable to put the pieces together and raise their voices AGAINST dealing with the Communists in a 'diplomatic' way.
Marxist-Leninist ideology have greatly contributed to the process of American family break-up. Americans, brought up in broken families, are already adults lacking one of the most vital qualities for the survival of a nation-- LOYALTY. A child who has not learned to be loyal to his family will hardly make a loyal citizen. Such a child may grow into an adult loyal to the State though. The goal of the subverter is to substitute, as painlessly as possible, the concept of loyalty for the "welfare state", who gives everything & can TAKE everything, including freedom-- from every citizen.
Myths are being promoted in the U.S. about 'free health care' in the USSR. In arranged interviews with Soviet doctors, telling guests about the 'glorious achievements' of Soviet surgery with no way of checking if these 'achievements' were available to USSR collective farmers or workers in Siberia. They are not.
Racial and ethnic interrelations is one of the most vulnerable areas for demoralization. There are not too many "capitalist" countries where ethnic minorities have it as good as in the USA. Yuri states that American society is the least discriminatory. The Communist 'solution' for racial problem is 'final': they simply murder those who are different AND stubbornly insist on remaining different.
Private Property owners will fight an invader until last bullet ON HIS LAND. "Underprivileged" or urbanized masses on the other hand, may feel like meeting an invader with flowers and red banners. ALIENATION of people from privately-owned land is one of the very important methods of DEMORALIZATION.
With the ideological infiltration of some labour unions in the USA, what sort of MORALITY does it take to make medical nurses leave sick and dying patients in hospital beds and walk out to strike for fifty cents an hour more in pay? What makes unionized electricians leave a city without power in the middle of a severe winter and let several children in "under privileged" slums freeze to DEATH? How desperate for money must a unionized truck driver be to SHOOT TO DEATH a strike-breaking colleague, father of five? Surely, each individual American, who commits these outrageously AMORAL acts is not that cruel and egocentric. And, let's face it, not THAT broke. So, why? -- IDEOLOGICAL DEMORALIZATION.
Subverted Unions are not motivated by the desire to IMPROVE working conditions and wages. In many cases it is not bargaining at all-- it's blackmail. And in the process of the unlimited growth of union POWER, the American worker loses the only relevant and real freedom he has in his country: the freedom to choose, to work or not to work, and for how much.
STAGE TWO: DESTABILIZATION: Efforts of subverter narrow down to the "essentials": Foreign relations; economy and "social fiber." If the preceding stage of DEMORALIZATION is successful, they help YOU to bring your own society into the state of DESTABILIZATION. This takes from 2 to 5 years, depending on the maturity of a nation and its ability to mobilize for resistance.
Power Struggle: The first symptom of instability is expressed as the desire of the population to bring to power those politicians and parties who promise more "free" social services and other "pleasure strokes" & short-term solutions. They will have to pay a much higher price for the main and basic problem-- bringing the country back to stability and restoring the moral fiber.
Demoralized and enfeebled 'masses' tend to grab the 'easiest' short-cut solution to social ills and socialism seems to them to be the best answer.
The final destruction is of the free bargaining process the predominant economic power moves into the hands of "Big Brother," the State. The famous 'division of powers' no longer governs, but rather is replaced by bureaucracy.
In the area of foreign relations, few remaining friendly nations look with horror at the destiny of those nations who were betrayed and abandoned by the USA and try to find 'their own solutions,' which often comes as 'establishing friendly relations' with the USSR and its Communist empire. The majority of Americans are made to believe that it is their country—- America-- who 'violates' international law, not the USSR and its surrogates. The average American may not even realize that the 'International Court' is nothing but an artificial creature of the Soviet-controlled General Assembly of the UN.
CRISIS, STAGE THREE: may take only 2 to 6 months, to bring America to the same situation which now exists South of the border in Central America. If all the previous stages of Soviet subversion have been successfully completed by that time, the majority of Americans will be so totally confused that they may even WELCOME some 'strong' leaders who 'know how to talk to the Russians. Redistribution of wealth and a massive propaganda campaign by the newly 'elected' government will 'explain' and justify the reforms.
Concentration camps and executions come at the stage of... NORMALIZATION: THE FOURTH AND LAST STAGE
Any normal nation would definitely resist such a 'progressive change.' according to the 'classics or Marxism-Leninism' there will arise pockets of resistance, Reforms (or DESTRUCTION to be more accurate) of the security agencies, (police and military) by the new government may lead to a situation of 'split loyalties' among law enforcement officers and render the majority of the population defenseless. At this point, to avoid 'the bloodshed,' the subverter moves to NORMALIZATION,: the vanquished country was brought BY FORCE into the NORMAL state of SOCIALISM: namely, subjugation.
You will start seeing 'friendly' Soviet soldiers in the streets of our cities working together with American soldiers and the 'new' police force to 'restore law and order.'
American socialist radicals and 'do-gooders' who were working so hard to bring 'progress' to their own country will find themselves IN PRISONS and hastily-built concentration camps. Many of them will be EXECUTED, quietly or publicly. The Soviet 'liberators' will have no further use for the 'disturbers.' The 'useful idiots' will have completed their work. From then on the New Order will need STABILITY and NEW MORALITY. No more 'grass roots' movements. No more criticism of the State. The Press will obediently censor itself. This censorship is already existing NOW, imposed by the so-called U.S. 'liberals' and socialist do-gooders.
What if it does happen here? Why take chances? What are the SOLUTIONS? There are different solutions for different stages of subversion. If a nation has enough common sense to STOP subversion at the very beginning of the DEMORALIZATION stage, you may never need the painful and drastic solutions needed to deal with the CRISIS stage.
The most general solution is to STOP AIDING THE SUBVERTER. You are still living in a free society and you are able to force your elected politicians to change their policies toward the Communist world. If YOU, personally do not see anything wrong in dealing with the Communism, you should begin learning more about it, not from your monopolized media, but from the independent media and and from defectors who have experienced Communism first-hand

Touch Me or; A Rebellion Against the Sampler
The assignment called for something made from wood, but I also wanted to make something with crochet. Crochet has long been my craft of choice, but it is not without its disadvantages. Knitting has always been more in vogue, and thus finding patterns that lend themselves better to crochet than to knitting is difficult. This is because crochet is more rigid, consumes more material, and is harder for people to learn. I wanted to create something that took advantage of crochet's strengths- the fact that it is more rigid, and because each stitch is independent of the last, lends itself better to improvisation. I had dozens of ideas as to what I could make out of crochet, an explosion of color and vibrancy that carried itself over into the final product. While my project started out as an explosion of ideas, the process of constructing it lead it to become part of a greater dialogue about crochet, art and the function of handicrafts in a modern society.
There is a vibrant internet community of people who crochet and, being a college student connected to the online world, I follow several different artists who use crochet in their sculpture. Primarily, The Institute for Figuring's hyperbolic crochet math models, crochet coral reef, and vortex of trash influenced my idea of what crochet could do. It's exhibits of crochet choral reefs are full of ruffles, branches, and bulbous branch-offs. Its hyperbolic crochet exhibit features ruffles and uneven surfaces which are strangely hypnotic and fascinating to the eye. The Institute for Figuring made me realize that crochet could be something other than functional art.
The Institute also set up a discourse about what crochet could represent, one which I wanted to respond to. The institute takes advantage of crochet's unique properties. Like crochet, knitting can increase exponentially, but the number of stitches on the needles quickly becomes unmanageable. Crochet, which each stitch being independent of each other, offered the perfect solution. (The Institute for Figuring website) Like The Institute for Figuring, I wanted to enter into the dialogue of using crochet not only because I loved crochet but because it was the most efficient solution to my problem. After engaging in externalization and objectivaion, I was finally ready to transform "structures of the objective world into structures of the subjective consciousness" (Berger). I wanted to add to the dialogue of sculptural crochet, a term coined by Wunderkammer, who was another influence on the advantages of crochet as a sculptural form and tool (SuperNaturale).
In Peter Berger's essay "Sacred Canopy" he writes that, "Once produced, the tool has a being of its own that cannot be readily changed by those who would employ it. Indeed, the tool may even enforce the logic of its being upon its users, sometimes in a way that may not be particularly agreeable to them." Crochet is a tool that forces its logic on its users, making those who want to crochet instead of knit create in a certain way. Oftentimes, people who crochet will avoid making certain items (like socks) because crochet does not lend itself well to the construction of those items (crochet socks don't have much stretch). Like Berger's man who creates language and then is subject to its rules, by adopting crochet as my craft I am limiting myself in what I can do. Touch Me reacts against these constraints, attempting to take advantage of the limitations of crochet instead of being restrained by them. Peter Schjeldahl describes in his essay "Deacon's Faith" a conversation between two men. In reply to a question about what the sculpture is, the second man replies, "it's art. Look at the way it's put together." Much of the meaning in this sculpture is derived from the way it's put together. Using Dr. Seuss-ian forms and a patchwork construction I attempt to give a sense of movement and also a sense of whimsy- a wish for what could be and a need to reach beyond the obvious. But the bars of wood- rigid and simply colored, restrain it from going beyond the bounds of its form. While the sculpture might reach outside of the form a little, it is too big to fully escape, just as crochet can go beyond its constraints, but not fully escape them. Glaringly bright and clashing colors give it a sense of childishness, but also violence- a frustration with what is, but also an acceptance.
Touch Me, or A Rebellion Against the Sampler is part of a discourse on crochet, a celebration and protest of what crochet means to not only me, but to many other people who crochet, and who are frustrated by the discrimination against the lesser-known handicraft. John Thompson writes, "In spoken discourse meaning resides as much in its disjunction, its truncations and dislocations- in a gesture of the hand, the involuntary twitch of a muscle or a barely perceptible flicker of the eye." Touch Me attempts to capture some of that gesture, some of the sense of discourse surrounding crochet. It, in the ruffles and rapid increases and decreases, invokes other crochet works, referencing what came before. But it also adds something to the discourse with the incorporation of the wooden cage- an open, airy cage, but a cage nonetheless. It makes gives the limitations of crochet a physical form. While the meaning in this sculpture did not come in its conception, the repetitive process of creating stitch after stitch of crochet gave the sculpture meaning as I worked and utilized the advantages and disadvantages of crochet.

YEY! You made it through the paper! So what do you think? Was the sculpture successful or not?
(EDIT 2:30am: In an entirely unrelated note, almost all my links have went blue, and I can't figure out why. They were green and matched my layout before I wrote this post, and now they've changed colors. I'm wondering if this post, which was formatted in word, did something strange to it. Any computer geeks out there who can help me?
EDIT @ 2:40 I got rid of some of the formating and that seems to have fixed the links, but I can't seem to get the text to remain the same in this post. Forgive me, but I really must get back to writing my essay, so I'm going to leave this until later today (after I've slept) to fix)
Remember: My contest is still going on! Writing a comment will get you an entry. Mentioning the contest in your blog will get you TWO entries, just make sure that in your comment you link back to your blog. Thirdly, if you make a halloween-themed object during this month, leave a link on the comments and you get TWO entires. You can comment as much as you want (if you spam my blog, that will get you disqualified), you can make as many halloween themed stuff as you want.

Competition starts on Wednesday, the 21st of August 2018 at 12:00am MX-Bikes Forum Time (UTC +0)
I'm fine with no aids though.
For the race, does the server needs a certain minimum number of riders to start the moto?For the schedule, August 21st is Tuesday. Quote from: Umpossible on August 10, 2018, 02:12:56 AMCompetition starts on Wednesday, the 21st of August 2018 at 12:00am MX-Bikes Forum Time (UTC +0)
For this I think you mean Tuesday 12:00am MX-Bikes Forum Time (-6 MDT). It's just kind of confusing UTC is not the same as MX BIkes forum (it's Mountain Daylight Time). The one's that you have inside a parenthesis will describe the line before it.Don't get me wrong but it could be confusing to some people. Instead you can use this format: August 21st, Tuesday, 0000 (12:00 AM) Mx Bikes Forum time OR 0600 (6:00am) UTC. No need to put + or - if it's not more/less than 0 coz UTC is UTC which is 0. Follow-up question about the schedule, is the race time 0400 UTC final? It could be tough for people living in the US as it could be from 2100-0000 (9:00pm-12:00midnight) as race times.I hope you take this as an advice not an ass comment trying to point something out just to sound smart.Thanks for this idea and I am excited for this series!
I think we would have a better chance of people racing the series if you switched it to weekends for races.
Quote from: Twitch135 on August 21, 2018, 06:16:32 PMI think we would have a better chance of people racing the series if you switched it to weekends for races.Agree to this.
Obviously the FLRS didn't happen on Tuesday night, it was decided that a better turn out would be achieved on a race over the weekend. With the upcoming update to the NetCode, we just have to decide whether to continue the series this weekend or put it on hold until the update is available. What are people's thoughts and opinions?

Changes for 2018
Thursday's Start Time
The schedule has been altered this year to accommodate a growing problem of overlapping with AP Exams (which cannot move) and our district meet. The major change is that the first day of competition has been pushed back to a start time of 6:00 field and 6:30 track. This has caused a few other things to move around as well.
Qualifying - NEW!
Although not a change, all results must be entered into pa.milesplit like they were last year. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Qualifying for the 2018 District Meet will be based on a combination of an automatic qualifier and the ranking system adopted and maintained last year through pa.milesplit.
All events have an automatic qualifier meaning if an athlete ties or surpasses the time/mark they are guaranteed entry into the meet in that event and classification.
The remaining field (if any spots are left) in each event will be filled from the rankings list maintained on pa.milesplit. Ties will be taken for the 16th position in AAA and 24th position in AA.
Coaches are expected to view and address ranking information to their athletes about their rank within gender classifications across our district.
Example of Qualifying
Boys AA 100 Meter Dash - There are 24 available spots. 18 boys hit the qualifying time. Those 18 qualifiers will be the top 18 times ranked in District 4 as everything will be entered into pa.milesplit. 6 spots remain to fill the field of 24. Rankings 19-24 (and ties for 24th) would be entered into the meet to fill 24 of 24 spots.
Entering Athletes Beyond the 16 or 24 Spots
It happened on occasion last year that coaches did not think that their kid would make a field of competition so they did not enter them. (Example: Their athlete was ranked 25th or even 30th) After the entries were compiled, and they realized that their athlete could have gotten in because another coach decided not to enter their kid in an event which then caused the whole ranking field to move by chain reaction, we were then notified by the said coach begging for entry into the meet. They were allowed in and nobody was removed. However, the fix for this is simple for this year. Enter them if you think they stand a chance, and I will sort this out after the entries are pulled. Even if they are the 40th ranked kid, it won't hurt anything on our end of things.
This procedure is to guarantee we have the best athletes in each event and to also bring back a goal setting atmosphere for the athletes to gain entry into the meet.
Please use www.piaad4.net as your main source of information for the following:
- All of the above info
- Entry Method
- Thursday/Saturday Schedule
- Qualifying Marks
- Facility Information
- Contact Information
Milesplit will have the same info as above over the course of the opening weeks of practice.
Date and Locations
Class AA and AAA will meet at Williamsport Area High School on Thursday, May 17th at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday, May 19th at 10:00 a.m. A rain date of Friday, May 18th is in place if inclement weather should affect the set schedule.
Implement Inspection Times
All implement inspection will be done during one time window only on their respected days (Thursday's events will be weighed in on Thursday; Saturday's events will be weighed in on Saturday).
No implements will be inspected or be permitted to be used after the inspection period closes.
If athletes are arriving later for afternoon events, their implements must be inspected during the open window. No exceptions will be made.
For both classes weigh-ins will be from 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. on Thursday and 7:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. on Saturday in the field house at the north end of the stadium. Look for the signs.
Pole Vaulter Weigh-Ins
All pole vaulters will be weighed in prior to competition.
Weigh-ins will take place at the same location as the implement inspection.
Coaches need to bring their pole vault certification forms with them to the weigh-in.
Entry Mechanism
PIAA has chosen to use pa.milesplit.com for District IV meet entries.
In order to maintain a verification of marks, please submit meet results to the pa.milesplit website throughout the season. This can be done by using the purchased software Hy-Tek meet management system or the free software available from pa.milesplit called Racetab.
Individual performances maintained on your team page within pa.milesplit will not work.
Qualifying - New for 2018!
Qualification for the 2018 District IV meet will be determined first by automatic qualifiers and then the remaining top 24 performances in the AA boys and girls classifications as reported and maintained by the pa.milesplit website.
Qualification for the 2018 District IV meet will be determined first by automatic qualifiers and then the remaining top 16 performances in the AAA boys and girls classifications as reported and maintained by the pa.milesplit website.
SPECIAL NOTE: All AAA schools may enter a relay team in the 4x100, 4x400, and 4x800 meter relays.
Eligible performances must be met in interscholastic competition. This includes dual meets, multi-team meets, and invitational meets.
No performances will be accepted from practices, scrimmages, previous years or any other meets not sanctioned by PIAA.
Any performance made after the District Entry Deadline will not be accepted. This deadline is Sunday, May 13th.
It is the coaches' responsibility to upload meet results from meets other than sanctioned invitationals. No time sent to myself will be acknowledged for rankings. It must go through pa.milesplit. No exceptions.
Automatic Qualifier
An automatic qualifier has been established this year.
Automatic Qualifying Marks can be found above.
Any athlete that ties or surpasses the automatic qualifier in their classification will be guaranteed entry into the 2018 District Meet.
The completion of the competitive field in each event per gender classification will then be filled from the rankings list from pa.milesplit.
EXAMPLE OF THE QUALIFIER: If 18 boys automatically qualify for the boys AA 100 meter dash, then the next top 6 times will be entered from the rankings list on pa.milesplit to fill the field of 24. This is how all events will be conducted except the AAA Relays. All AAA schools gain an entry in those events.
General Information
There will be no seed meeting. All entry will be done on-line, performance list, seeding and heat/lane assignments will be posted to the pa.milesplit website prior to the meet.
All entry will be done via pa.milesplit. Entries will open on March 19th, 2018 and close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 13th, 2018. Coaches can submit entries at any time after March 20th and are encouraged to do so.
Final Declaration
No athletes can be added to the meet after the entry period closes for their classification.
No athlete can be entered in more than four (4) events coming into the meet and allowed to scratch out of extra events the day of the meet to gain an advantage.
Example: If an athlete is qualified in 6 different events, his or her four (4) committed events that they will compete in MUST be declared by the final declaration time. No athlete will be listed in more than (4) events in the meet program. No exceptions.
Coaches can make final declarations by editing entry marks on pa.milesplit or by contacting David Gabriel before 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 13th, 2018 at: (607) 857-2686 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Entry Limits
4 events per athlete maximum, including relays.
3 athletes per school, per event maximum.
Coaches will be required to provide validation of times/distances if challenged.
1 ranked relay team per event, per school.
All NFHS rules, with Pennsylvania exceptions, will be enforced. This includes uniform regulations. Consult a registered PIAA official if you have any questions.
Seeding Procedures
The meet will be contested on a track with eight (8) lanes.
All distances are in meters.
In the preliminaries of the 100m, 100h, and 110h. The fastest qualifier will be placed in lane 4 of the first heat. The next fastest in lane 4 of the second heat, etc. The pattern of lanes will be 4-5-3-6-2-7-1-8 in the 100, 100h, 110h. Advancement will be based on either time or place, depending on the number of heats.
Where the number of heats is equal to or less than the number of lanes being used (i.e. 8 in the 100m, 100h, 110h) the method of advancement will be on place then time. The 8 qualifiers will run in the final.
300IMs and 400m will be final races on time. The 8 fastest qualifiers will compete in the last heat. No heat will have fewer than 2 athletes.
The 400m relay will be run entirely in lanes, using the 4-5-3-6-2-7-1-8 pattern with the fastest qualifier in lane 4. No heat will be run with fewer than 2 teams.
The 800m, 1600m and 3200m will start from 2 alleys, and will run a one- turn stagger to the break-line by the 300m start. Runners will be seeded across the two alleys (for example, #1 will be inside, #2 outside, etc.). If more than 1 heat is required, the 12 fastest ranked competitors will run in the fast heat.
The first leg of the 1600m relay will be run as a 3 turn stagger, breaking at the 300m start. The fastest qualifier will be in lane 4. No heat will be run with fewer than 2 teams.
The 3200m relay will use two alleys. Fastest qualifier will be in position 1.
In the throwing and horizontal jumping events, the best qualifier will compete last in the trials.
In the finals, the order of competition will be in reverse order of the trials performances. 9 competitors (and ties for 9th) will advance from the trials to the finals.
In the pole vault and high jump, the "5 alive" procedure will be used, with the best qualifier listed last on the sheet.
All measurement in the field events will be in feet and inches.
8 places will be scored in boys and girls AA Classes for individual and relays. 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1
6 places for individuals and 5 places for relays will be scored in the AAA girls and boys Classifications. 10-8-6-4-2-1 in individual events, and 10-8-6-4-2 for relays. (Rule 2-2, page 10).
Medals will be awarded to the top 8 places in both boys and girls AA classifications.
Medals will be awarded to the top 3 places in both boys and girls AAA classifications.
Excuse Time
Athletes will be excused for a maximum of 15 minutes to compete in another event. The athlete has 15 minutes from the time that they check out with the chief judge to present themselves for their next attempt. If they do not return in that time frame, the effort will be marked as a "pass". Athletes will not be held in the paddock.
The order of finals in the field events may be altered within reason to accommodate athletes in other events.
All implements will be weighed and inspected prior to competition, and must be in compliance with NFHS specifications.
Weigh-ins and implement inspection for ALL throwing events will begin at the posted time on the time schedule. All implements to be used in competition are to be inspected during this period. No implements will be inspected after the weigh-in period closes.
Coaches are encouraged to only bring implements that will actually be used in competition. Inspecting and weighing extra implements slows the process and creates greater confusion.
Hurdles, Starting Blocks, Cross Bars
Meet management will provide all hurdles, starting blocks and crossbars. If you have special starting block requests (i.e. Moye block) contact David Gabriel, Meet Director, directly (firstname.lastname@example.com or (607) 857-2686). Rakes, brooms, shovels, etc. will be provided by Williamsport.
Per facility management, the maximum spike length is 1/8" PYRAMID. Find them and invest in them now. Athletes will not be permitted to wear any other size spikes than what is listed here. This goes for the track, the horizontal jumping runways, high jump areas, and javelin surfaces.
This will be strictly enforced and spikes will be inspected by officials prior to the event start.
Per facility management, no Easy-Up tents or tents with any protruding stakes will be allowed on the infield for any reason.
Circles are concrete; javelin approach is the same as the track surface; horizontal runways and high jump area are the same as the track surface.
Pole Vault Verification
Coaches are reminded to read and review the rules pertinent to pole and pole vaulter certification.
The meet referee, or his/her designee, will collect all pole vault certification sheets and inspect all poles prior to the beginning of any warm-ups. Coaches should bring their vaulter certification sheets with them the day of the meet.
Warm-Ups in the Field Events
Warm-ups in the field events will not be permitted until an adult official, event worker or coach is present at the event. Safety dictates that we provide adult supervision during all warm-up periods in all field events.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE HIGH JUMP: Only tape will be allowed for use as markers on the high jump apron. A maximum of two (2) pieces, per athlete will be allowed. Athletes may NOT put tape down prior to the warm period beginning, once the official arrives at the venue. All tape will be removed prior to the beginning of the warm-up period for the next event. Officials will ask all competitors to initial their tape marks when putting them down.
Results will be posted and updated Live on the Hy-Tek app and on the pa.milesplit website.
Complete final results will be posted to this website within 24 hours of the completion of the meet.

A Sci-Fi 2.0 Honey 'Top Five' List by Katie
The Twilight Zone (1959-1964)
This New Year's holiday marked the 20th consecutive year when sci-fi enthusiasts around the globe took part in a hallowed television tradition: the SyFy two-day marathon of The Twilight Zone. Since 1995, the network has ushered in the New Year by sending viewers into another dimension for 85 solid episodes of what the Writer's Guild of America called the 3rd best-written television series of all time. Half a century later, Rod Serling's 30-minute detours into the darkest corners of the universe perseveres through a devout following – with specials like the SyFy marathon and other syndicated outlets spawning new generations of fans year after year
From airplane gremlins to killer dolls, the show has memorably depicted monsters of one kind or another – but on this SciFriday, we are celebrating all things alien. Below is a list of the top five episodes of The Twilight Zone (and one honorable mention) which focus on intergalactic visitors both friendly and wicked.
5. Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?
Season 2 / Episode 28 / Original airdate: May 26, 1961
Written by: Rod Serling
Directed by: Montgomery Pittman
Two state troopers investigating a crash of what appears to be a flying saucer make their way to a remote diner, where the snowbound passengers of a bus await news on when they can resume their travel. A count of the passengers reveals that there is one too many diner patrons – indicating that the extra "person" came from the saucer crash. Everyone looks human, but are they? As the troopers and passengers interrogate each other, Serling ratchets up the paranoia – and just when you think you've figured it out, you discover that you couldn't be more wrong.
4. The Lonely
Season 1 / Episode 7 / Original airdate: November 13, 1959
Written by: Rod Serling
Directed by: Jack Smight
While not centered on aliens per se, this episode takes place on a remote planet, where a convicted felon is sentenced to a futuristic version of solitary confinement. Astronauts venture to his prison of a planet four times a year to bring supplies, and with every visit the inmate becomes more desperate for human contact. The latest supply run brings with it "Alicia," a robot the inmate can assemble and live with as a surrogate for a live woman. At first repulsed by the idea, he soon grows immeasurably close to his mechanical companion, and the two form a meaningful bond. The inmate is eventually granted a pardon and can be sent back to Earth, with one condition – and it's a heartbreaking one.
3. The Monsters are Due on Maple Street
Season 1 / Episode 22 / Original airdate: March 4, 1960
Written by: Rod Serling
Directed by: Ronald Winston
Welcome to Maple Street, a quaint stretch of road in suburban America, where a meteor passes overhead – and all hell breaks loose. With the road isolated by a power outage, the neighbors gather to discuss the strange goings-on – and with a little prodding from a sci-fi fan in the group, they begin to suspect that one amongst them is an extraterrestrial. A brilliant study on the dangers of a mob mentality, "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" reveals that we don't need to wait for a monster to arrive and destroy humankind – we are capable of destroying ourselves, with the monsters that already dwell within us.
2. The Invaders
Season 2 / Episode 15 / Original airdate: January 27, 1961
Written by: Richard Matheson
Directed by: Douglas Heyes
I Am Legend author Richard Matheson penned this classic home-invasion narrative with a sci-fi edge. Agnes Moorehead plays a middle-aged woman living alone who is suddenly overrun by a horde of tiny spacemen, breaking into her house after their ship lands on her roof. Moorehead (whom you might recognize as Endora from Bewitched) spends the entire episode in horrified silence, uttering not one word of dialogue as she fights off the intruders. The episode generates a significant amount of suspense and terror with what sounds like an almost comedic premise, and then knocks your socks off with a twist ending.
1. To Serve Man
Season 3 / Episode 24 / Original airdate: March 2, 1962
Written by: Rod Serling
Directed by: Richard L. Bare
Based on a story by sci-fi author Damon Knight, "To Serve Man" is such a definitive episode in the cosmos of The Twilight Zone that you are probably aware of the significance of the title, even if you haven't seen it. The story begins with an extraterrestrial invasion, but this time of the friendly sort – a giant, mushroom-brained race of aliens who assert that they came to assist mankind and take them to their idyllic planet. They leave behind a book, written in their native language, of which only the title can only be translated: "To Serve Man." Humans graciously accept their service and begin to board their saucers, headed for paradise. Soon after, however, the rest of the book is translated – and, well, let's just say Soylent Green took a cue from this delicious and darkly comic twist.
Honorable Mention:
People are Alike All Over
Season 1 / Episode 25 / Original airdate: March 25, 1960
Written by: Rod Serling
Directed by: Mitchell Leisen
An astronaut crash-lands on Mars and is greeted by very cordial, human-looking Martians. They are so amicable, in fact, they tell him that they've built him a nice room to recover in … on display for the rest of Mars to spectate at, for all of eternity. People are alike all over – we all love a good zoo, don't we?
That does it for this Sci-Fi Honey's favorite Twilight Zone space-creatures, all of which you can now find on Netflix! What are your favorite episodes? Let me know through the twitter dimension.
The Twilight Zone is available on Netflix Streaming, Hulu, Amazon Prime Instant Video, YouTube, and DVD/Blu-ray

Creating the View
In Meiosis, the
view function returns a view object that corresponds to the library of your choice. It could be a plain string, JSX, a hyperscript object, and so on.
Specifying a Renderer
The way you tell Meiosis how you want to create your views is by specifying a renderer. Meiosis currently provides renderers for:
- VanillaJS, meiosis-vanillajs (String concatenation or template engines such as Handlebars
- React, meiosis-react
- Inferno, meiosis-inferno
- Snabbdom, meiosis-snabbdom
- Mithril, meiosis-mithril
Implementing a renderer for other libraries is easy. Refer to the Renderers section.
To specify the React renderer, write:
var renderer = meiosisReact.renderer().intoId(document, "app");
Then, you just need a container with the
"app" id in your HTML page:

Meiosis will render the view into that
div. Of course, you can use a different id. Furthermore, instead of
intoId, you can also use:
intoSelector(document, selector)for example,

intoElement(document, element)where you specify the DOM element directly. In fact,
intoSelectorare merely convenience functions that call
document.querySelectorrespectively, and pass the element to
The VanillaJS, Inferno, Snabbdom, and Mithril renderers work in the same manner.
Creating a
view Function
Each component that you create can have a
view function. Meiosis calls it with
(model, propose/actions) so that you can return the view representation of the model, and call the
propose function. If you created an
actions object, that will be passed as a parameter instead. The view can then call functions on it.
The nature of what you return from the
view function depends on the view library that you chose for your views. Whether you use React, Inferno, Snabbdom, Mithril, plain JavaScript, or anything else, you return an object that is compatible with the chosen library.
Nested components
When you call
meiosis.createComponent({...}) with a
view function, the returned component is the view function with
propose or
actions already provided. Thus it is a function of the model that you can call from other components.
The todo-list example has a component that uses two other components,
todoForm and
import React from "react";
const view = (todoForm, todoList) => model => (
Notice that we can pass a sub-property of the
model when calling a component function. Also, there is no need to pass the
propose function or
actions object. Meiosis will take care of that. In fact, if components have different
actions objects, they will each get their own instance with the correct functions.
Here is another nested component from the labeled-sliders example, written with Snabbdom:
import h from "snabbdom/h";
import { Action } from "./actions";
const view = labeledSlider => (model, propose) => {
const onAddMeasurement = _evt => propose(Action.AddMeasurement());
const onRemoveMeasurement = id => propose(Action.RemoveMeasurement(id));
const renderMeasurement = (measurement, index) =>
h("div", {key: measurement.id, style: {border: "1px solid gray"}, id: measurement.id}, [
labeledSlider({measurement, index}),
h("div", [
{on: {click: [onRemoveMeasurement, measurement.id]}}, "Remove Measurement")
// ...
In this case,
labeledSlider is the nested component. Again, notice how it is called like a regular function, passing in the model. The component itself is created outside of the
view function and passed in as a parameter. This prevents creating the component every time the view is re-rendered; we only need to create the component once.

So many things we want to see changed.
The way we work, the way we are paid, the way we treat environment, what we do with our time, how our children grow up, politics, economy, and so on …
If it could be done with a flick of the finger we would probable do it today (I hope) if we could do it in a 3-5 year plan we would say it's impossible (and I say we can) , and so we muddle on a bit.
We , as a joined society , are ok with mediocrity, with "good enough" , with having our share and not caring about anything or anybody else.
Yes, I'm saying we are all egoistic, self-centered, lazy ,cowards, me included !
It's a fact , and if you look with an open mind and look at the details you'll see, as I see.
Even the most social people, holy men, social workers, firemen, Buddhist monks really all of us.
But for the record , it's ok, that's human nature! If you look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs , that's what I mean.
And this is exactly how we function in an organization as well! First us , than the rest (company, colleagues, not in that particular order.)
When we work in an organization (small and big, which for me is the same because of my fractal thinking) ,we tend to fall back in different , lower, levels when we are confronted with some things we are not used to…So procedures should work with this given fact and not try to punish or neglect these point. And "softskilling" can help but, please, there are better ways for getting there,.
Have company goals, mission statement and values that are clear to everybody and ACT ALWAYS ACCORDINGLY , don't stray, don't devalue , don't neglect, don't ignore , and if you need to (because there is a NEED to) communicate that, tell your people why, how and what. I promise you, they will understand… ! and if you wonder the money (budgeting) is the first everybody sees !
Don't think workers are dumb, even the most idiotic person in your company is going to know when he gets lied to or when he has to do things that are really inefficient ! That's where you get structural laziness , alienation and anomy. Where you will provoke conflict, I have a concept named "The heroic fireman" , ask me what it is, I'll explain, until then , …..

Guilty plea in $500k McLaren supercar crash
Search Driven for vehicles for sale
The top global software executive who crashed a half-million dollar McLaren super car on an Auckland motorway has pleaded guilty to careless driving.
Heng Loon Chee, 56, appeared at Auckland District Court this morning where he entered a guilty plea after the charge was amended.
The IT executive, who holds a top position at computer giant Dell EMC, was originally charged with driving in a dangerous manner after the black McLaren he was driving hit a median barrier on the Northwestern Motorway near Pt Chevalier and flipped off the road on April 22.
Witnesses reported hearing the car "screaming" on to the motorway before it left the road and struck a barrier. One person was taken to hospital with minor injuries after the crash.
The court heard Chee was taking the supercar for a test drive when the crash happened. He was rounding a corner at up to 120km/h when he lost control.
The car went under a safety barrier and rolled down an embankment.
He suffered minor scratches to his hands and cuts to his head. A passenger in the vehicle was uninjured.
Chee was fined $500 and ordered to take a defensive driving course. He was also ordered to pay court costs of $130.
Chee told the court through his lawyer the crash happened because he was taking the corner too fast and the tyres were cold.

parish picnic
Our church is going to have its annual parish picnic this weekend. My family has been attending this picnic since we moved to this city. It is always fun. There are plenty of food and drinks for the adults and games and inflatables for the kids. We normally stay for two to three hours just to let the kids play with other kids while we watch. The kids, particularly the youngest, is looking forward to it because she remembers the fun she had last year. We are hoping for a beautiful weather this weekend so everybody will get to enjoy the event.

According to this definition I'm not an Eldergoth. I'm neither over 40 nor was I around when goth became a scene in the 80s.
A goth who has been part of the subculture since it originally came about, or a goth over the age of 40.

Day 28 – Do you consider yourself an eldergoth?
I don't know, am I? I first looked up the definition of Eldergoth in the Urban Dictionary:
Eingestellt von MindLess um 5:00:00 PM

It must be impossible to be young and eldergoth by that definition. What happens when we eldergoths die? :)
I read another explanation that it is someone adult that has been goth for a long time.

@ linnea-maria: Maybe if I follow your definition, I would be an Eldergoth. And Eldergoths never die, they are all elite vampires! ;)
