The criticism, or Kritik, has been much maligned by its detractors and furiously defended by its proponents. The scope of this essay is not to pick one side or another, but rather to provide an analysis of why the critique fails to persuade and identify some helpful tips for debaters that want to be able to go for the critique in front of a diverse array of judges.
A common complaint of judges regarding debaters who go for the K poorly is that they do not clearly explain their argument. Ken Strange, the only person to have made the top 5 judges list for the past three decades lists a clear explanation as the chief component in a successful presentation of the K: "I need a clear reason why the argument is a reason to vote against the affirmative or for the negative." Ed Lee concurs; "The negative needs to be explicit about the opportunity costs of not voting for the criticism. At times, I am at a loss for what the impact is to the criticism even after the 2NR."
Why are some debaters seemingly incapable of explaining their argument in a way that judges find coherent and persuasive? I think that the source of their troubles is related to one fundamental problem. Namely, the literature that is the foundation of the critical argument is dense and so the presentation of the argument is also dense. Debaters that have failed to properly internalize an argument are unable to explain that argument in a fashion that is understandable to a lay audience. Debaters do not appreciate that even judges that are experts in adjudicating debates are not experts in psychoanalytic theory or post-structuralism as well, never mind the specific interactions that these and other theories have with the topic at hand. In order to overcome this difficulty it is necessary when presenting a critique to explain the argument in the simplest terms possible unless the debater knows that a judge has expertise in a particular subject. For debaters that find they have difficulty in presenting their argument in an audience friendly fashion, they might find it useful to read secondary interpretations of the primary text. By engaging with interpretations of the argument, they can appreciate the difficulties that other writers have had in explaining and extending or critiquing the primary text. When debaters are better able to explain their argument, judges that are willing to listen to critical arguments may be much more willing to vote on them, as will judges that are opposed to critical arguments.
Some judges seem patently unwilling to vote for a critique. Will Repko says: "I think the Kritik is stupid, and getting stupider. In fact, I just spoke with the Kritik yesterday and it mentioned to that it 'was really excited about the upcoming season', and 'was looking forward to being dumber than ever' but even he admits that it is possible to get his ballot on a kritik. He says "I am okay with alt + offensive disad-ish thing" and "I am sorta ok with methods/reps 1st," the trick it seems for getting a judge like Will Repko, a self-admitted K-hater, to vote for the K is to explain the argument in familiar terms. For an offense defense critic, explaining the offense that the negative has won in relation to the offense that the affirmative has won is crucial to convincing them that they should vote for the critique.
One last comment about convincing judges that do not rate the critique among their favorite arguments is important. Most judges that dislike critiques also find that they are opposed to the generic application of theory when it may not be appropriate. Scott "The Duck" Deatherage explains that "To get me to vote negative on a K" a team needs to "work really really really hard to make your generic link arguments fit the specifics of the affirmative." A generic understanding of post-structuralism is not enough to disprove a specific policy proposal for most judges, and so the specific application and articulation of links and the ways that the impact interacts with affirmative offense can be the route to increased success with the K in front of different judges.
Though there are many different types of criticisms and many different types of judges, there are really only three fundamental rules in adapting a critical argument to a particular judge. First and foremost, have a clear explanation of the argument that avoids using the dense insular language of the primary author. By reading and understanding secondary interpretations you will be able to present the critique in a fashion that is accessible to willing audiences. Secondly, explain the critique in terms that the judge understands and readily accepts as legitimate. If a judge enjoys hearing counterplan/disad debate then it will be appropriate to talk about the levels of solvency of the alternative, the disadvantages to the permutation, the uniqueness of the links as well as making crucial comparisons of the impacts incurred from voting affirmative versus voting negative. Third and finally, making your arguments specific to the affirmative that you are debating will always increase the credibility and persuasiveness of the critique no matter the preferences of the judge.

D e s e r t E x p o s u r e February 2011
Hello, My Name Is
My Facebook must be overdue at the library.
First, I'd like to apologize to the lady in the Albertson's produce aisle whom I tried to photograph with my cell phone while she was picking jalapeo peppers from a bin. Honest, this wasn't some pervy sex thing ("Meet the Red-Hot Mommas of Silver City"). I was trying to email the photo to my wife, so she could tell me who the heck Jalapeo Woman was.
Alas, it turns out to be tougher than you might think to snap a picture of somebody in the produce section without the person noticing and, say, calling the store manager. Or the cops. After a few blurry pix of passing shopping carts and the back of Jalapeo Woman's head, I gave up. She would remain a mystery woman, at least to me.
But of course Jalapeo Woman knew me. Moments before my clandestine camera activity, she'd cheerily said hello to me — by name — and we'd swapped pleasantries about the weather and the price of fresh horseradish. And I knew her face, of course I did.
I just couldn't summon up a name to go with it.
Even if I did have a guess as to her name, I confess, I wouldn't have dared voice it. Whenever people greet me — "Hi, David!" — unless I'm 100% sure I've got the greeter's name right, I default to a generic, "Hi!" or "Hi, how are you?" The more uncertain I am about the person's identity, the more exaggerated my friendliness. If a total stranger somehow guessed my name and said hello, I'd probably hug him. (Well, no, we Scandinavians aren't huggers. Maybe a fist bump.)
I realize that by writing about this, I'm blowing my cover for all future Albertson's encounters. But I've been inspired by Oliver Sacks, the neurologist who writes for The New Yorker magazine, whose latest book, The Mind's Eye, explores six cases of people who've had to adjust to changes or quirks in their vision — including himself. Sacks writes about his own "face blindness," a condition technically called "prosopagnosia" (a term — no kidding! — I tracked down by Googling to a page on, of all things, Facebook).
In a condition that appears to be hereditary, Sacks simply can't "see" faces in the way that normal people can put together this and that facial characteristic and thereby recognize that this is Sam and that's Emily. Prosopagnosia affects about 2.5% of the population.
In an interview with The Economist magazine about his new book, Sacks speaks of how people with "face blindness" deal with their problem: "Some people will avoid embarrassment and confusion and all social contact. Others will become extremely attentive to matters of dress and movement and voice, so much so that they become tuned automatically to how people are dressed and how they move. For my part I think I'm good at recognizing posture and movement. I'm a little bit on the reticent side — that's a primary characteristic of face blindness. People should perhaps 'out' themselves. In the book I tell a story where a man goes to a physician and says he can't recognize people, and so his life has become 'a round of apology and offense.' The matter must be aired. If people know you're face blind you don't have to apologize."
So there you have it. Sorry, Jalapeo Woman, but I'm just really bad at matching faces to names. And I'll take that fuzzy photo of you bending over the produce bin off my Facebook page right away.
I'm not technically "face blind" like Oliver Sacks, thank goodness. In fact, when I make an effort I can be extremely good at remembering faces, at least in the short term. For example, the interview I did for this month's story on the Gila Back Country Horsemen put me in a circle with seven members of the group — three women and four men. As I asked questions and took notes, I had to keep track of who was saying what among seven individuals I'd just met.
So I am, as journalists are fond of saying in a slightly high-faluting way, "a trained observer." If I'm "on," I can recall not only who was who in a gathering but what each person was wearing. I know this guy wore a gimme cap and that gal had a fringed jacket on.
It's just afterward, in nonprofessional situations such as picking jalapeos at Albertson's, that I draw a blank. Or at parties, where I stick close to my wife so she can identify the people we meet whom I'm supposed to know. She's been trained to feed me clues: "Hi, Evelyn, how's business at the antiques shop?" or "Joe, good to see you. Haven't seen you since you were on the Friends of the Library board with Dave." (Sometimes these clues for my benefit are not so subtle.)
Part of my problem, as I like to rationalize it, is that in my line of work I meet a lot of people. Often the circumstance in which I meet someone — say, I'm interviewing the person — is a lot more unusual and therefore memorable for them than for me. I've done a zillion interviews. Most people in everyday walks of life don't get interviewed all that often.
Plus of course my photo is in the paper every month, just in case people need a little reminder of what my mug looks like.
I first noticed this disparity in recognizing people I'd met, especially in the course of my job, when I was a columnist for the Telegraph-Herald newspaper in Dubuque, Iowa. There, too, my mugshot was in the paper — four times a week.
I was sort of the Charles Kuralt of Dubuque and the neighboring Mississippi River country of northeast Iowa, southwest Wisconsin and northwest Illinois — minus the CBS TV camera crew. It was just me and my notebook, trekking to tiny towns and off-the-beaten-path places where the directions typically included barn signs and cows ("turn left at the third steer"). At about 150 reported columns a year, I got to meet a pretty high proportion of the area's population.
When they'd meet me again later on the street, just as fellow pedestrians, my brain had already filed them away and moved on to the next interview. Sure, they remembered me — I was the guy who'd spent two hours asking about their collection of old hats, their perpetual-motion machine or the old riverboat they're restoring. But I had to settle for a generic "Hi!" in response. Sorry, no "Hi, how's that perpetual-motion thing working out for you?"
Sometimes, of course, the shoe was on the other foot and I'd interview famous folks who happened to have Dubuque on their touring itinerary. Even after all these years, I'm sure I'd recognize Tony Danza, the TV actor, if I ran into him on the street, but I doubt that the much-interviewed Mr. Danza would put a name to my face. (And not just because in that particular interview he brought along a couple of buddies from his college days in Dubuque — and a fifth of whiskey.) No question, I'd be able to name Gene Simmons, the lead singer of the KISS rock group, either in or out of his iconic makeup. But I doubt that a 20-minute interview in his dressing room, pre-concert, burned my name and visage into his brain, no matter how witty and penetrating my questions.
So, no, I'm not "face blind." I've just been fortunate enough to encounter more faces in my line of work than most people do. And I apologize in advance if I should recognize yours but don't, or can't come up with your name until much too late and I'm putting my groceries into the car out in the Albertson's parking lot. (Which does, however, explain why I might suddenly cry out, "Seymour!" — startling the kid collecting the grocery carts, whose name is likely not also Seymour.)
If you really want me to remember you, it couldn't hurt to bring along an entourage and a buddy named Jim Beam. Or you could paint your face like the guys in KISS.
Otherwise, sorry, you may have to remain Jalapeo Woman or Pot Roast Guy, at least to me.

would wear nametags at all times.

Political Donations Tax Deductible
It is the height of election season, and campaign spending is setting new records. As in previous cycles, most of the giving has come from individuals.
For those people, tax questions abound. For example, which donations to political causes and campaigns are tax-deductible? Which ones will be disclosed on the Internet—or reported to the Internal Revenue Service—and which will remain secret? Which could trigger a 35% gift tax?
A crazy quilt of federal tax and election laws makes simple answers elusive. "At best the rules are opaque, and at worst they're misleading," says Ellen a professor at Loyola Law School in who studies the area.
The best approach, say experts, is to know the rudiments of this tricky area in order to identify the most effective donation strategies and avoid a few traps. Tax lament that too many of their clients don't understand what is allowed and what isn't.

Swansea City have received a huge injury boost in their attempts to retain their Premier League status, as the club have confirmed that striker Wilfried Bony has been cleared of all injury concerns.
The 28-year-old was substituted by boss Paul Clement during the Swans' 1-0 Premier League defeat to West Ham United at the London Stadium on Saturday, but it has since been revealed that the decision was made as a precautionary measure.

The Ivory Coast international, who will now join up with his national side after receiving the all clear ahead of their World Cup qualifier with Mali on Friday, complained of a tightness in his hamstring before the break, and was replaced by Leroy Fer during the interval.
There were concerns that Bony, who re-joined Swansea this summer for around £11.7m following a two-year spell at Manchester City, had suffered an injury during the first half, but tests have shown that all is still well with the frontman.
"Bony was substituted at half-time at the London Stadium as a precautionary measure after complaining of tightness in his hamstring", a statement read on the club's official website.
"But further analysis has shown that there was no damage done. As a result, Bony has been cleared to head off on international duty.
"The striker has been recalled to the Ivory Coast squad for their World Cup qualifier in Mali on Friday."
Bony is still yet to find the net since his return to the Liberty Stadium, featuring in four out of the Swans' seven Premier League fixtures so far this season.
However, having already proven his worth during his initial 18-month spell in South Wales, notching 34 times in all competitions, it seems as though once the powerful striker converts his first he could well replicate his unstoppable form that was so evident last time around.

EIO was formed in 2012, in the wake of a collaboration between David D. McIntire and bassist Brian Padavic. Over the course of this, the notion of an ensemble that performed indeterminate works took hold and Ryan Oldham was invited to fill out the trio. All three are composers and all contribute to the group's repertoire. While the trio often performs from notation, each work is designed to be realized differently each time they are performed. Thus, every musical outcome is "irreproducible." In the works with electronics, recordings from earlier performances are embedded into the electronic material, usually transformed in some way, yet providing a "memory" of the previous experiences. With each new performance, this material is remixed, and while certain dimensions will remain the same and be familiar to the musicians, there are always some surprises. In this way we hope to mirror the phenomena of nature and the workings of people's daily lives.

text: Who won the Recesession? These 7 Countries – by Joshua E. Keating | Foreign Policy Posted by Staff | Oct 30, 2012 | Trade | 0 | MEXICO Mexico might seem a surprising choice on a list of success stories, given the horrific drug violence that has killed more than 50,000 people in the past six years, but what gets much less attention is the country's economic boom. Growth exceeded even that of much-ballyhooed Brazil last year. More than 700,000 new jobs were created in Mexico in 2010 as factories exported record quantities of appliances, challenging China for a share of the U.S. market. Inflation and debt levels are low, and for the first time in years, net migration to the United States has fallen to zero in 2012, and may have even reversed. U.S. politicians still mostly focus on Mexico as a source of drugs and immigrants, but with Mexico contending to replace China as America's second-largest trade partner after Canada, it may be time for the United States to start thinking of its southern neighbor as a source of customers and jobs instead.via These 7 Countries – by Joshua E.

There are three key components that make up a star college athlete. Motivation, mental toughness and work ethic. There are hundreds of thousands of amazing athletes around the country, yet only a small percentage get to go the distance and play in college. Why? Because it takes a certain passion to be able to push your body to its limit day in and day out. For Charlotte women's soccer star Virginia Lingo this sort of work ethic and drive has been with her for a while.
"I started playing when I was three years old, I played cause I got ice cream after every game in the YMCA," said Lingo.
Things change, people change and feelings change too. I'm sure Lingo still loves ice cream but as far as her drive to be a great athlete, the soft serve does not do it for her. Lingo began taking her soccer career more seriously when she got to high school. As recruitment letters began coming in she realized that she would have to buckle down to make an impact on the next level. It's easier to do things that you love.
"Definitely in high school probably freshmen year when I realized that I wanted to play in college plus the recruiting Made it more serious and helped me lock-in to that," Lingo said.
The mental toughness to balance a work load like that is not something for the weak at heart. College athletes have multiple practices a day, the homework that everyone deals with and of course a social life that we all desire to have. In high school sports are recreation and everyone gets a turn. It is barely a commitment and more of an extracurricular for fun with friends, but in college you work to earn a spot and could easily lose it if you aren't performing.
"Soccer is a lot more like a job in college, I get yelled at lot more," Lingo said. "But I do love soccer so I carve out time for school and extra practice. I'm taking 18 hours right now so it can be a lot, but it's not too bad."
Luckily for Lingo, her younger years as an honor-roll student taught her time management and gave her an edge in learning to balance the college work load. Lingo prides herself in being able to create time to get work done. She also played for her high school and a club soccer teams, so going to multiple practices in a day was not new to her.
"Having high school and club practices definitely helped get me ready for the next level, being used to carving out extra time and knowing when to practice late at night or study in the mornings or vice versa and just being able to be flexible," Lingo said.
There is an timeless lesson to be learned from the efforts of Lingo. Hard work and consistency will always pay off and it beats natural talent every time. Nearly twenty years of soccer experience has put Lingo in a position to go play soccer after graduation. She has been recruited by the Charlotte Lady Eagles, a mission organization that plays in an elite league against teams across the country. Lingo is also driven by her faith. She has a deep reverence for God and to have an opportunity to play after college for a team that combines her passion for soccer with her passion to serve the Lord is a dream come true.
"They used to be semi-pro now they're a ministry team, so it'll be fun. A lot of different college players play during the summer and go on big trips, it's really cool it's for around two months. I thought about playing in Australia for a time but I don't know if I'm going to do that or not," Lingo said.
Lingo recorded her first goal of the season earlier this month against VCU and we can only expect more goals and greatness from the graduating senior.
"It's gonna be a good season we started off playing some really good teams so I think that prepared us more for the back end of the season," Lingo said. "I think it's gonna be good I think that we can place high again and win the conference tournament again."

"I love you." He said it in a voice soft with tenderness as he watched me. We were sitting together at the kitchen table, he sipping on coffee and perusing the newspaper, me perched precariously on the table, arranging flowers for a photograph until they were just so. I looked down at my silly position and couldn't help but let out giggle. Then he smiled that special smile, reserved for moments such as these. Crinkling up in the corners, his brown eyes winked lovingly at me once, twice. His coffee--a swirl of a scant half teaspoon of sugar and a liberal splash of cream, no more, no less--was a warm chestnut color and his eyes grew hazy and soft in the steam rising from his coffee cup. It was just an ordinary Friday afternoon, and it wasn't the first time he'd given me that smile, but it all seemed extra special right then. I imagined myself ten, fifteen, twenty years in the future, with memories just like these being the only tether to the tender, young years of my former youth. It was one of those remember me moments, piercingly sweet and fragile in all its fleeting glory. "I'm going to miss this," I think. "One morning I'm going to wake up and wish I could have this moment back." So I turned and smiled back, with a whispered "I love you too."
Short (true) story I wrote awhile back. Happy Friday. x

Shocking new figures show deaths from fentanyl rose by 29% last year. The news comes just weeks after the announcement of Robert's Law in memory of a Deal teenager who died after taking fentanyl, a substance 50 times stronger than heroin.
Robert's Law was the culmination of a campaign led by myself and Robert Fraser's mum Michelle, pushing for tougher jail sentences for those caught dealing the deadly drug. In June the Sentencing Council issued new guidance reflecting the dangers of fentanyl.
The number of fentanyl deaths increased from 58 in 2016 to 75 in 2017, according to the Office for National Statistics. These horrifying numbers underline the importance of Robert's Law. From now on, drug dealers know they will face a long period behind bars if they choose to peddle this poison. Michelle and I have argued all along that sending a strong message in the courts will save lives. Now we must see convicted suppliers properly punished so this awful rise in fentanyl deaths is reversed.
Last year heroin and morphine related deaths decreased for the first time since 2012. Yet fentanyl – which has often caused death having been found mixed with heroin – had a 29% increase. Robert Fraser was 18 when he died in 2016 after taking fentanyl. Police believe a dealer gave it to Robert as a "freebie", while across the country dealers are secretly adding it to increase profits.

Though it's probably unwise to admit this publicly with so many years of carpooling still ahead of me, here it is: I'm a below-average driver. It's something I came to terms with years ago. I don't really like driving, and also I'm not very good at it. While learning to drive last year, my daughter was quick to confirm my self-evaluation. Now that she's licensed I have officially dropped to third on the list of family drivers.
You like to think you would have been on the right side of history on the painfully obvious moral questions of the ages. You'd help hide Jews in Nazi Germany; you'd actively rebel against the horrors of slavery. You certainly wouldn't tut tut about how awful it all is, then go back to raising your family amid such injustice and danger, securing your own comfort and achievements without much thought to others' suffering.
The PHS Parents' Club held its December meeting at Mulberry's Home on "Giving Tuesday," and it was an opportune time to feel thankful about the focus of all of our Parents' Clubs. As Principal Daniels pointed out, we're not in the position of other Bay Area districts forced to talk about escalating violence on campus, or an emotionally stifling, pressure-cooker academic atmosphere. Instead, we discussed professional development for the World Language department and the ongoing evolution of the math curriculum.
Like that sad, neglected dish of creamed onions we feel compelled to make every year, this column has become a Thanksgiving tradition I can't shake. I didn't submit it last year and got some grief from folks on the trot that they missed it, so I decided to give it a record fourth airing. When you bow your head this year before your feast, please join me in giving thanks to the professional turkey 'stimulators' who have made your entrée possible.
Thanksgiving is tomorrow. A common Mulberry's Thanksgiving question (second only to "where's your bathroom?" post-Turkey Trot) is whether we'll be selling turkeys this year. We'd love to. We've looked into it, too, but realized that the logistics aren't on our side. Turkeys are enormous. There's space for approximately 4 ½ turkeys in our walk-in. So you see, we couldn't have much of a program.
Have you heard the term 'slackivism'? Coined in the era of Stop Kony and #BringBackOurGirls, it's a negative-leaning term used to describe political or philanthropic actions some suspect provide more comfort and utility to the giver than to the intended recipient. It encompasses everything from temporarily filtering your Facebook profile photo to demonstrate your solidarity with marriage equality or Paris, to those websites my mom finds where you can click to send a daily bowl of rice to an impoverished child.
But here's the thing. As Nicholas Kristof famously pointed out, armchair slactivism is a whole lot better than armchair apathy. And some of the initiatives dubbed 'feel good' by the cynics have produced tangible results on the exact issue they were intended to impact.
For most families, listening to an older relative opine on the good old days is as much a part of Thanksgiving as pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. This year, NPR's StoryCorps has seized upon what's already happening to unveil an audaciously ambitious goal: to preserve the voices and stories of an entire generation of Americans over one holiday weekend. And we can all help.
If you're not already a fan of Story Corps, some day when you have a few minutes, visit their webpage and browse through the stories of ordinary peoples' lives, dreams, and experiences. From the mother who hugged her son's murderer, to the 85-year-old lox slicer, to the man who tracked down the third grade teacher who comforted him 50 years earlier at his mother's funeral, it's a far more satisfying procrastination break than Facebook. Or even, dare I say it, Amy Schumer videos.
At boot camp this Monday, it was clearly a banner day for the ducks. We campers spent the whole rainy morning watching them frolic in Lake Merritt. But even if they were the species most visibly enjoying the downpour, I daresay every creature on earth was pretty damn happy about it.
The sight of the delighted ducks reminded me of an insightful college list from this season. But first – do we all agree that the list thing has gotten completely out of control? It used to be that US News & World Report (does it still even exist as a magazine?) had the lock on the ridiculous rankings. Their longstanding, tyrannical "Best of" list is the one all the cool kids try to climb, despite the fact that it might as well be calculated by multiplying the number of volumes in the library by the liters of frozen yogurt dispensed at the main campus café, divided by the difference in membership between the marching band and the intercollegiate croquet team. Or something equally meaningless to true educational quality.

I know this.
The other day, I was in the elevator. Some dude gets on and presses 14.
Me: I used to be on that floor (running her finger on the button)
Stranger: what's that now? Well, how come you moved?
Me: well, we consolidated our real estate. Anyway, do you know that you're actually on the 13th floor?
Stranger: oh, that doesn't bother me

Getting rid of Basement Odors in Imlaystown NJ
Don't feel bad because basements often have that old, mildewy odor.
When something smells "off", it merely should be cleansed, decaying products gotten rid of, and the ecological conditions altered to stop additional odors from developing.
Deodorizers and air fresheners make it smell better, however the benefit is a short-term mask. It is far more crucial in the long run to obtain the odor under control and repair the trouble cause before it aggravates.
There are 2 easy steps to take when it concerns basement odors:.
Eliminate or repair the trouble that is triggering the nasty scent.
Clean the location to lower the odor, control and and prevent any odor from coming back.
Luckily, there are some usual things that cause odor to establish, and they are quickly fixed. Find the solution to your smell problem by following these tips below.
Causes of Old, Musty, Moldy, Mildewy & Smelly Basements:.
Basements are among the most typical odor producers in the home, right behind the refrigerator and the cat box. There are numerous things that can trigger basement smells. These are the most typical sources of smelly basements and exactly what you should do to fix it:.
Inadequate Cleaning:
The Problem: You understand the old saying: "Out of sight, out of mind". Dust, dirt, grime, cobwebs and decay develops and builds up in time. Rodents and insects can take up residence without you knowing and produce nasty smells, unhealthy and unsanitary living conditions for you and your household. Mold and mildew delayed foul smells that can be soaked up and infected saved products.
The Fix: Give the basement an excellent total cleaning. Start at the ceiling, clean down the walls and behind every product. Use bleach, borax or vinegar to clean and control odor. Clear out old scrap saved in the basement. Eliminate things that take in wetness or can put off bad smells such as clothes or carpeting. A clean location doesn't just look much better, it smells much better too. Clutter lowers air flow and mildew often develops on decomposing products.
Now, once your basement is good and clean and the mess and scrap are cleaned out, examine these other locations that could be triggering the smell.
The Problem: One of the most usual problems with the basement is the amount of wetness. Wetness causes mold, mildew, bacteria, fungal growth and causes wood, material and paper to begin to rot. The initial thing to do is to get the basement dry. Even prior to you begin cleansing, get the humidity down.
To do this, use a dehumidifier and air out the area by opening windows. If you see water leaking from faucets or pipes or cracks in your foundation you must get that fixed to stop water from leaking into the area. Enabling water to collect will cause more severe troubles than just a bad scent.
Poor Air Circulation:
The Problem: Poor air flow all by itself isn't a reason for basement smell, but it does make it worse by permitting air to become stagnant and enable bad smells to become more apparent. Relocating air likewise assists water to evaporate. Stagnant air makes mold and mildew even worse when spores are launched into the air and quickly spread out to various other damp locations.
The Fix: Get the air moving by opening a window, turning on a follower, opening the doors or other methods.
Low Light and Temperature:
The Problem: Low lighting and air temperature can also advertise smells. Dark, damp reduced light and air flow develops the best environment for mold and mildew to expand or basement contents to decay unseen.
The Fix: Bring up the air temperature by utilizing a mobile location heater, turn on the lights and open the curtains. Heated rooms help water to evaporate You'll be able to see the trouble areas more quickly in the light.
Mold and Mildew Growth:
The Problem: Mold, mildew and fungus grows in damp locations with low lighting and grow with inadequate air circulation. These organisms delayed a gas that we most generally relate to a smelly basement. Poor air flow makes the scent even worse and enables the spread of mold and mildew to other locations with time.
The Fix: You need to clean up moldy areas and scrub away visible discolorations. Borax is the ideal thing to use to clean this because it's a natural mineral cleaner that also eliminates fungus (fungicide) and prevents more regrowth. It's utilized in laundry soap. It's the main ingredient in the product 20 Mule Team.
To Clean It-To make your mold and mildew cleaning solution mix the following in a container:
one cup of borax cleaner.
one gallon of hot water.
Use a scrub brush to cleanse the area and follow with a rinse of clean water as borax will leave a residue.
To Remove Stains- Remove discolorations and combat mold and mildew regrowth with a bleach and water solution:
2 cups of bleach.
2 quarts of hot water.
Pour the solution into a spray bottle and work your means around spraying areas where you see noticeable staining, or suspect are triggering smell issues. Remember that there is water in this solution, so make use of sparingly to prevent contributing to a dampness trouble.
Bleach will melt, sanitize and get rid of the color (bleach it!) on contact, relying on the surface it's being made use of on.
Chlorine bleach is an excellent sanitizer however I do not make use of bleach frequently. Due to the fact that it bleaches everything it comes into contact with I find it can trigger even more harm than great if you unintentionally get it on an unintended surface. However this is one task where it is justified since it works like no other cleaning chemical will do.
Bleach is highly alkaline and is extremely extreme. It might be a typically utilized product, however you should appreciate it too. It will erode and wear away numerous things, and make the surface extremely slippery. It will burn your skin if it is not rinsed off. Bleach also eliminates the color from material on contact with no 2nd chances. So rinse the location with plain water after using. Likewise, never use bleach in conjunction with any other cleaning item. It will react to many things and put off a harmful gas that can be really major in an area of reduced air flow.
The best ways to Keep Your Basement Smelling Fresh:
There are numerous things that you can do to keep the odors at bay and keep your basement smelling fresh and clean.
Keep the house and the basement appropriately ventilated. Air needs to flow through the the home of permit for it to be kept clean. To see to it this takes place, have your air ducts cleaned and also have your ventilation system checked yearly.
Control the humidity. The greatest odor triggering problem in houses is that of mildew and mold. Use ventilation, windows, dehumidifiers and efficient ways for keeping water out to keep the level of humidity down.
Clean your dryer vent. Start outside where it exits and follow it down into the the home of the base of the dryer. Obstructed dryer vents permit wetness to develop in the home. If the dryer is in the basement, this can be the initial source of basement smells to begin with. Rodents can take up residence in the vent brought in to the dust that makes a good nest and warm temperatures. Waterproof the basement. Water is the cause of numerous air quality problems. Make certain your basement is waterproof. A small leakage can cause an incredible amount of wetness and cause the opposite of the the home of smell bad. Get the garbage out of the house rapidly; keep the floors clean and tablets cleaned up. Take care of those places that people like to avoid like the basement and the garage. Repair work all leakages. If you suspect that your foundation or the beams in your house have splashed or damaged, have a professional come out and see to it. Weakened structures are not safe and will cause you to become injured and source odor in the home.

July was a busy month filled with many new experience. So much so, I decided to split things up into 2 posts. I tried 3 new events/activities and 3 new restaurants last month. For Part 1, I wanted to share the new events. Stay tuned for Part 2, will be up soon.
Event #1: Lake Calhoun
Let me be the one to say it first…I am a HORRIBLE Minnesotan. I have lived here for 25 years and until July of 2017, I had never been to Lake Calhoun. I have driven around it at night with friends, but never have I walked around it or been to one of the beach spots at the Lake. That all changed in July. I spent 1 afternoon with a friend just sitting in the grass and just talking and taking in the scenery. I spent another day at one of the beach locations on the lake – the one closest to the restaurant Urban Eatery. Finally, I decided I needed to see the WHOLE Lake so I walked to and around it. I learned there were 3 main beach locations and people were sure to use each one. I found it fascinating that you could learn to sail, rent paddle boards and even bikes at the lake! I loved seeing all the different people who were there, all the dogs, and the different activities people were doing. Each time I went to Lake Calhoun I left feeling relaxed and enjoyed my time there! So excited to be living close enough to walk here and be able to continue enjoying all it has to offer.
Event #2: Concert @ the Twins Stadium
Last weekend was busy! I started off the weekend with going to my 1st concert at the Twins stadium on Saturday, July 29th. If you don't live in Minnesota or just didn't know, the concerts was Chris Lane, Nelly, The Backstreet Boys, and Florida Georgia Line. I have (kind of) seen The Backstreet Boys in concert before when I was younger and recently saw Florida Georgia Line open for Justin Aldean. Even so, I was most excited to see these two acts again; I mean I grew up in the 90's so I will FOREVER be a Backstreet Boys fan! The concert was great! It started at 6pm and didn't end until around 11pm. There were about 60,000 people there but luckily for me the people who bought the tickets next to me didn't show so I had room to move and dance as much as I wanted to. As expected, the drinks were spendy, but the best 'bang for your buck' was the Malibu bucket which was 32 ounces of alcohol for $19! Though I was seated in the upper section, the great weather, and wonderful performances made for a fun night out at a true Minnesota venue. Leaving the concert was crazy and from what I hear, trying to get an uber or lift was spendy!
Event #3: Dancing with the stars LIVE
I have been a HUGE fan of Dancing with the Stars since the beginning but have never made it to a live show. Luckily, on Sunday July 30th they were in Minneapolis performing at State Theater. In all honesty, I had never heard of state theater before. It was cute and had a historic feel to it and the smallness of it (especially compared to the Twins stadium) created a very intimate feeling. My friend and I were seated in the upper balcony area, the seats weren't ½ bad but were note close to the sage by any. The show itself was less than 2 hours long which included a 15 minute intermission. Though I wished it was longer I know those dancers were working hard during the show. I truly loved how they included dances from the show but also new ones! My favorite part was the commentary and jokes that played up who the dancers were. Unfortunately after the show no stars came out to meet the fans but I WAS 2 feet away from Sharna for all of 30 seconds while she went to her van told us fans she was sorry but she had to leave for the airport right away and then left. I was so shocked to see her and kind of star struck that I didn't even think to take a picture of her or turn to do a selfie with her in the back… even with the phone in my hand.

On April 14, 2014, 276 school girls were abducted from their dormitories by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno state. The latest from the government on this matter, at the time of this writing, is that it has 'no reliable intelligence on the whereabouts of the girls'. It has also said it would soon name a panel to investigate the abduction.
This comes as a big let-down for the parents and families of the girls. It is also a shock to advocacy groups that have been at the forefront in demanding decisive government action in the rescue of these girls, especially the Bring Back Our Girls group, led by Aisha Yesufu, Oby Ezekwesili, and Hadiza Bala Usman.
While we wait on the government to name its panel to investigate the matter and to gather credible intelligence, it's important that we see the big picture for what it is. Before setting out to write this piece I did a desk research to update myself on what is on ground. I asked questions like, 'How much has the government done till date in combating the insurgents and what levels of success have we recorded? What is the present humanitarian cost of this crisis and just how well connected is the government to the plight of affected citizens?'
I found out and everyone should know that the Chibok girls are a small fraction of the total number of girls that have been abducted by the Boko Haram in recent times. It shocked me to find out according to some reports there are over 2000 people, majority of whom are girls and women, that have been abducted by the group between 2014 and now. According to Amnesty International (AI), between November 2014 and February 2015, about 500 women and 1000 girls were kidnapped by the Boko Haram. That happened just in the space of four months! And what do these insurgents do with these vulnerable people?
AI reports that many of them are forced into marriages, serially raped, used as sex workers, trained to fight, or sold off as slaves. These are Nigerian citizens who have full rights to government security and protection. All of these people also need to be brought back. It is time to let the government know that we are not only missing 219 Chibok girls (57 escaped on their own from the original 276), but 2000+ people.
How much has the government done? This deserves attention too. Here is a quote of a reported speech attributed to the president:
""I assure you that I go to bed and wake up every day with the Chibok girls on my mind. The unfortunate incident happened before this government came into being. What have we done since we assumed office? We re-organized the military, removed all the service chiefs and ordered the succeeding service chiefs to deal decisively with the Boko Haram insurgency.
"In spite of the terrible economic condition we found ourselves in, we tried to get some resources to give to the military to reorganize and equip, retrain, deploy more troops and move more forcefully against Boko Haram. And you all know the progress we have made. When we came in Boko Haram was in Adamawa, Yobe and Borno. Boko Haram has now been reduced to areas around Lake Chad. Securing the Chibok girls is my responsibility."
There is a long way to go. I look forward to hearing that there are greater results coming from our multi-task force at the borders in defeating Boko Haram and recovering all the children, women and men they have taken captive. None can be left behind. And until this is done Nigerians can not accept the claim that Boko Haram has been technically defeated. The president in his inaugural address plainly stated that the war on Boko Haram cannot be said to be won without bringing back the Chibok girls. This statement is commendable to the person who does not realize that over 2000 persons have actually been abducted. It is good however for the government to state the true picture of things and reframe its goals very clearly.
It should also start planning for the rehabilitation and reintegration of this people. This would be a sure signal that our government is heading somewhere and is keen on getting there. At this point, I just want to yell out loud, 'Bring Back (all) our Girls! Bring back all our citizens!'

Pre-amps. Why?
Note: This could be a long complicated discussion, but rather than bore you, I'll give you my own personal 'bottom line'. I will generally be referring to active pre-amps rather than passive potentiometers. Also, I've glossed over this matter in other sections of my website as well.
Pre-amp: How important?
But one very common objection is that 'it doesn't do anything, so how come it costs as much as a power amp'. Yes, you may have noticed that for most upper-middle to beginning hi-end system, the pre-amp cost as much as the amp. You compare the size, number of parts, weight, etc of the pre-amp to that of the amp and wonder why you're paying so much for the pre-amp. Fortunately, diminishing returns kick in pretty quickly for pre-amps and US$3000 pre-amps are that much better than US$2000 pre-amps, whereas for amps, (because of the existence of really hard to drive speakers), the extra watts (something like $50 for 1 watt? :)) do have a significant effect on the sound.
The usual explanation is that the linestage voltage, being less than 2v usually, is very sensitive to all sorts of things and top quality components are required to preserve the signal.
Real world issue addressed: To upgrade intergrated by buying an extra power amp?
In fairness to Integrateds...
Of course, many of them know they can't build in a decent active pre-amp stage for the price, so they go the passive route. The Jadis Orchestra is passive, and I think the YBA integre is too. Of course, since they know their power amp stage is going to be used with a passive pot, the designer can take this account when tweaking the sound of the power amp stage.
But I already have an integrated amp, I have no other upgrade path

Michael K. Johnson and Don Kreher report that they are working on the
development of course material using GAP and ask where else work of
this kind is done.
It will be no surprise that we do use GAP in teaching in Aachen,
although we have not written a laboratory manual or systematic course
material. In order to explain the situation it should perhaps first be
explained that the contents of courses is less fixed in German
universities than it usually seems to be in the US, that is, each of
us rather goes his own way in teaching a course on group theory, say,
and may also change his course from one year to another. With this
reservation made, one can say that we have perhaps two main lines in
integrating algorithmic methods and the use of a system such as GAP
into such a course.
In one line, which I have followed two years ago, I gave a course that
was entitled "Groups, theory and algorithms" parts I and II over a
full year, in which algorithmic aspects and methods were closely knit
into the theory, e.g. the course - that assumed a course on Algebra I
which gave the basics up to Jordan-Hoelder and Sylow - started with
free groups and presentations and alongside with the theory introduced
computational methods such as Todd-Coxeter, Reidemeister-Schreier,
Low-index and IMD. These then were treated through easy
hand-calculations as well as examples using programs in the exercises
( at that time we had partially to resort to SPAS because the
algorithms were not all in GAP yet, but they will be in GAP 3.2 to be
released soon ). In a similar way then permutation groups, soluble
groups and p-groups were treated. This course was followed by a
further year on representation theory, of which I gave the first
semester on ordinary representation theory, again interlacing theory
with computational methods mainly for charactertheory, again using
GAP, which provides quite a lot of possibilities in this field.
For these courses we have files with the weekly exercises given to
the students and some percentage of these involve the use of GAP. If
somebody is interested to get these ( in German and not specially
organized for export ) we will be happy to send them.
In another setup, which we follow this year, my colleague, Prof.
Pahlings will give a more traditional one-semester course on group
theory, in which again GAP may be used occasionally, but more as a
black box, while most of the algorithmic aspects will be treated in a
separate course by me next summer, in which GAP will naturally play a
more central role. Prof Pahlings meanwhile will already go on to
representation theory next summer.
We have followed that line also some years ago, both seem to have
advantages and drawbacks and I really cannot say that I recommend one
of them as the better setup.
Generally we tend to allow or even recommend the use of GAP also in
other courses such as the introductory algebra course. We hope that
for students, who nowadays tend to come being pretty well used to
PASCAL or the like, using GAP is not so difficult, so in these courses
usually we have made no attempt with a systematic introduction to GAP
but rather have "let things happen" and this is perhaps even so with
the above-mentioned courses. But I am sure we could do better than
that and hence I would be very interested to get whatever course
material is developed. I would also very much welcome if such material
- perhaps after some test with students - could be made generally
available alongside with GAP.

DarkStalkers Is Making A Comeback
-Marcus Lawrence
It's only been a couple of hours since NYCC started and already there's some big news. The revival of Darkstalkers was announced earlier today at the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary panel and the crowd went wild! A friend of mine was at the panel when Capcom's Executive Producer Yoshinori Ono-san made the announcement. He told me about the energy he felt there and I could believe it too!
Following his announcement was the reveal trailer for Darkstalkers: Resurrection which is a downloadable collection that features Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge and Darkstalkers 3. The bundle will be available for both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The cost for Resurrection on the PSN will be $14.99 and 1200 Microsoft Points for XBL.
Resurrection will feature HD graphics and a new challenge mode for the veteran players. Also, the GGPO netcode is making a return and promises seamless online play. Even more goodies have been included in this bundle such as spectator modes, the ability to upload replays on YouTube and enhanced matchmaking.
But wait… there's more! Ono-san states that Darkstalkers: Resurrection is just the first to come in Capcom's attempt to bring the series back to life. So is it possible that we will see a Darkstalkers game in the same vein as Street Fighter IV? Most definitely!!!

Promoting British Values, the government has stated the need "to create and enforce clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs". The Government set out its definition of British values in the 2011 Prevent Strategy, and these values have been reiterated in 2018.
The school also has its own Gospel Values which encompass the British Values – Faith, Humility, Truth, Forgiveness, Dignity and Service. At St Ethelbert's these values are reinforced regularly and in the following ways:
Rule of Law The importance of Laws, whether they be those that govern the class, the school or the country are consistently reinforced throughout the school day. At St Ethelbert's we have Christian values to support the rule of law. Following the beatitudes, school rules, class rules and the Behaviour Policy supports our children to follow the rule of law. Visits by Police, Border Force, Lifeguards, Rail Safety and the Fire Brigade, to name but a few, give our children the best start in life and why it is best to follow the rules. Restorative justice is used to help the children to be thoughtful and empathetic citizens.
Democracy The children at St Ethelbert's have a voice that the school responds to in the following ways. Each class votes for their council members. The School Council and Eco Council meet as a body every term and discuss the needs and aspirations of the school. Children from Year 1 to Year 6 attend the meetings with ideas and suggestions. Fundraising, working with local community and school improvements are high on the list of priorities. Minutes of every meeting are read out in class. The school now has a Sports PE Leadership Team.
Individual Liberty At St Ethelbert's pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school, we educate and provide spiritual and moral values to enable our children to make choices safely, through the provision of a safe environment and empowering the children with a good quality of education. Pupils are supported to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and in how to exercise these safely, for example through our Religious Education programme The Way the Truth and the Life, E-Safety, PSHE lessons and specialist SEND interventions. There are many opportunities within the school life to participate in our numerous extracurricular clubs and activities. (Always keeping in mind that the children can make the choice to participate or not). The Behaviour Policy is used to teach mutual respect.
Mutual Respect As a caring, Christian school, mutual respect is at the heart of our values. Children learn that their behaviours have an effect on their own rights and those of others. All members of the school community treat each other with respect
Tolerance of those of Different Faiths and Beliefs St Ethelbert's is very important in an area of social and economic deprivation. We have many pupils from overseas. We place a great emphasis on promoting diversity with the children. We celebrate all that is different and recognise that we are all God's children. Through Assemblies, we celebrate the many different countries our children come from, with visitors of different faiths and traditions invited to teach us about their values and faith practices. Visitors share many of their cultures and beliefs with us.
The school is directed to teach about the following religions: Judaism is taught every year in Term 1, and Hinduism, Sikhism and Islam, on a rotating annual basis, every year in Term 6– as part of the Catholic Religious Education scheme. The school likes to ask knowledgeable visitors to help with this 'other faiths' teaching wherever possible. At St Ethelbert's we will actively challenge pupils, staff or parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental human values. There is no tolerance for extremist views whatsoever.
The school has a specific plan to teach these values in our Curriculum Map as well as the experienced staff teaching the values frequently and as the need arises.

If you know even a little bit about the process, you've probably thought (at least briefly) about taking a DNA test. Maybe youre interested in what your DNA can tell you about your heritage, and you want to see if the family tree you've sketched is as accurate as you think. Or perhaps you have a family history of a genetic disease, and you want to know if you're at high risk for becoming ill. Still yet some people use genetic testing out of curiosity; what genetic traits have they inherited? There are countless reasons to take a DNA test, but before you begin the process, its important to understand exactly what a DNA test can tell you and what it can't.
What You Can (And Can't) Expect to Learn From Genetic Testing
Genetic testing is used to gather information for a variety of different reasons. While you can learn quite a bit about yourself and others using DNA testing, its also important to understand the limitations of such testing.
Genetic testing can:
- Help to determine the identity of someone at the scene of a crime. Due to advances in the field of genetics, DNA forensics has become a revolutionary tool for detectives performing crime scene investigations. By collecting a sample of DNA from a crime scene (which is present in hair, blood, saliva, and semen,) detectives can work to identify who was present at the scene of a crime, and when.
- Confirm the identity of your biological father or mother. To determine this, you'll need DNA samples from your alleged parents as well as your own sample. A test can compare your DNA with that of your supposed parents to see if you are, in fact, related. While this is most often preformed for the purpose of paternity testing, it is possible to confirm the identity of your biological mother, as well. This has become increasingly popular in adoption cases, to prove relationships in immigration cases, and in the rare case that parents suspect that a baby "mix-up" occurred in a hospital at birth. However, it's important to note that such tests are generally 95 to 99 percent accurate, and it's necessary to have the DNA of all parties in question to determine relation.
- Tell you whether your baby will be born with a chromosomal disorder. This test, called amniocentesis, is performed while a baby is in utero and can predict with 99 percent accuracy whether your baby will be born with Downs syndrome or another chromosomal abnormality.
- Determine whether you and/or your partner are genetic disease carriers. Many adults who are thinking about starting a family opt for genetic testing to determine whether they are carriers of a specific genetic disease. This won't tell you with certainty whether your future children will be born with a disease; however, if both you and your partner are disease carriers, your child will be at increased risk for developing that disease.
- Determine whether you have a predisposition to a genetic disease. If your family has a history of a disease with a proven genetic link (such as breast cancer), DNA testing can help you determine your individual risk. While DNA testing can't rule out or predict the development of genetic disease in your future, it can tell you if you have inherited an increased risk for developing a particular disease. This information can help you care for yourself accordingly and educate yourself about that disease and its early symptoms.
- Tell you what your matrilineal/patrilineal heritage is, and where your ancestors came from- as far back as 10,000 years. Genealogy research has become increasingly popular in recent years, as researching family heritage is becoming easier using online resources. DNA testing, however, can tell you more than you could ever learn using electronic census records and word-of-mouth tales from relatives. In fact, researchers have identified ways to trace your ancestral groups back more than 10,000 years and track their migration around the world.
DNA Testing and Fun Facts About You
While DNA testing is often used for medical or legal reasons, some people opt for DNA testing simply because they want to know more about their genetic makeup and how that affects their personality, tendencies, tastes, and character traits. For example, your DNA test results may tell you such facts as your:
- likely response to certain medications
- odds of living to 100 years old
- propensity to addiction
- sensitivity to certain tastes and odors
- sensitivity to pain.
What You Want to Know
While DNA testing has its benefits, its easy to understand that you may want to know about your ancestral origins but be wary to learn about your disease risk. Increasingly, reputable companies are offering genetic testing for the purposes you're interested in; namely, simply testing for genealogy, and not for health reasons. If you do opt to learn more about your disease risk, a genetic counselor can help you interpret the results and respond to them accordingly via lifestyle changes. Advancements in this field make DNA testing easier, more affordable, and more accessible than ever.
