Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Geeee Whiz! We need housing. Lets make a piece of real estate into a useless shaking of fingers in the face of "the man". Ghost ship was operation before Mayor Schaaf came into office and by all reports for at least 3 administrations; complete with reported incidents that were not acted upon.
Call that corruption if you like, but also recall the "communities" efforts to stop investigations (slow to a halt) of other existing similar situations, fully supported by certain members of the city council supported by by the "community".
This isn't about about corrupt politics (of which there is much) but of a bunch of spoiled, over grown children wanting to deflect responsibility from themselves.
The more that I learn about the disorder and just plain incompetence of the Trump administration, the more I see parallels with Oakland's city hall.
The plain and simple fact is the Oakland has been a lawless abandoned zone since the residential flight to the suburbs... That jobs mostly didn't follow.
Now it costs too much to live that far out and there is an awareness of the impact on the environment of doing that, so people want to live closer in. That means people won't tolerate the chaos that it has been.
The privileged crypto-anarachists who moved here and want no change are pitching well voiced arguments cast as social justice to obstruct needed change and improvements.
By the way, lives DO matter. What doesn't matter is who is doing the shooting. It needs to STOP!
Interesting... Oakland Warehouse Coalition wants the city to "slow down" and at the same time is embarrassed by the total inaction Ghost Ship represents.
I don't think you can really have it both ways. I suspect, and can't prove, that a less targeted audit of this type of situation will show the the "community" is incapable of the self policing and presents a significant liability to the larger community of the tax payers and more general residents of the city of Oakland.
In the article, we have a quote from Matt Hummel telling of responses to Mothers Cookies by OPD... Regular enough that he was assigned to show them around. This would seem, in and of itself, to indicate a problem... Regular OPD visits in response to complaints?! Were this a "regular" multi-tenet dwelling the city has taken very direct steps to clear the problem in the past.
Oh wait... these are "artists"... "Eccentrics"... Part of the "culture" of Oakland and we need to protect them and their way of life. Part and parcel of the lawless wild west/abandoned zone that Oakland has been and are hell bent keeping it that way.
I appreciate the local perspective on a situation that has been highly politicized. The sad thing is that people died in this tragedy. The why and the how and the what to do next may never be answered because the solution is not simple. Many voices must continue to be heard. Thank you for this balanced article.
The Ghost Ship should for ever stand as a testament to the incompetence and corruption throughout the city of Oakland from citizens who lacked the common sense to report and demand compliance to the most basic of building standards to govt officials from the mayors office to police, fire and building inspection departments and their employees.
Ps - have you nothing better to do - really ?
You should also talk to Lateefah Simon. Racial equity is her day job!
Great campaign by the Praxis Project, although given the power of advertising in the United States, it's difficult to curb the deceptiveness of ads. Free speech in this country has for the most part become the freedom to engage in commercial speech. Last year, for example, ad revenues totaled about $320 billion -- nearly 60% of what we spend on public schools K-12.
Absolutely agree with all positions opposing continued funding of DAPL(and any other fossil fuel infrastructure investments)for all the reasons mentioned.
To those who say staying invested is more powerful in terms of changing their activities, I say on the contrary: Divesting until such time as the company complies with the wishes of its investors(the people ofCALpers)will be a much more powerful way to effect changes that leaves the way open to reinvest.
Secondly, it is the money of the people of CALpers. They get to decide whether the place they invest it meets their ethical and moral standards. Anything else is placing profits over people and life. Get busy finding and funding Green Infrastructure to look at long term benefits, which are not necessarily measured in dollars, to the people who recive CALpers.

Thanks to Belinda for providing the documentation which provided the foundation for this article. These revelations are very troubling and underscores the lack of accountability on the part of the City's administration. We deserve better and so do all victims of the misconduct and incompetence that have brought harm to many Oakland residents.
Great article! Thank you! If you need some reliable
garbage collection products I suggest you to look at appalachianmachine.com
Oakland doesn't need to finalize its policy in order to do the right thing with this land: build low-income housing - that remains low income housing forever - on the entire city-owned parcel. Neighbors don't like it? Too bad. Time for the hills to accept their share of low income housing.
Wait, it's "mishandling evidence" to have a typist transcribe recorded interviews with a suspect? Unless Gannt is a terrific typist, someone else definitely should have transcribed the tapes. And no matter who transcribed them, the transcript could contain errors. So presumably the tapes are still available, because THEY, not the transcript, are the "evidence."
As for the rest of these allegations, everyone knows OPD is totally corrupt and that the City and the DA allowed or enabled this corruption for many years.

Landing in opening day lineup a victory for Crawford
LOS ANGELES – All spring, Carl Crawford made it clear his goal in returning from Tommy John surgery was to make his Dodger debut on opening day.
Sure enough, he did so Monday, starting in left field and hitting atop the Dodgers' lineup in their 4-0 win over the Giants.
Crawford hit three balls hard and went 2-for-4 with an eighth-inning double that started a three-run rally. His lone gaffe was a failed stolen base attempt in the first inning, but he said it was still a special, emotional day.
"It really was," Crawford said. "This was one of the most exciting opening days I've been a part of. It was a feeling I hadn't had in a while."
Crawford, 31, was met with league-wide skepticism when he announced his plan to start April 1, and his late start to the spring didn't help. But he kept with it.
"I'm not that surprised," Crawford said. "I knew that the way I was working, that was the goal I was trying to get to. I can't say I knew for sure but I'm not that surprised that I was out there for opening day."
Perhaps most notable about Crawford's day was how quickly he managed to turn the conversation from his health to his skills. Since he was traded to the Dodgers in August, the first question to him and about him has always been the status of his surgically-repaired left elbow.
Postgame Monday, Dodger manager Don Mattingly was first asked what Crawford could do for his team.
"Carl has a chance to really change us," Mattingly said. "This guy can really go. I've seen this cat for a few years in the American League and he can do some things. If we can keep him healthy, we're gonna see some (electricity) out of him."
The qualifier is still there, though: if he's healthy. Crawford is aware that's no guarantee.
"I like my chances right now," he said. "I feel a lot healthier than I have in the last two years."
Justin Sellers tried to go to sleep early at his Huntington Beach home Sunday night, because he knew the 40-mile trek ahead of him to Dodger Stadium necessitated an early start.
But the Dodgers' shortstop was too excited to sleep.
"I was waking up, looking at my clock and looking at my clock again," he said. "The time was moving so slow."
The irony of it was not lost on the 27-year-old Sellers: He was trying to avoid being stuck on the freeway with fans going to see him play.
"It's funny," said Sellers, a Cal State Fullerton alum making his first opening day start for the injured Hanley Ramirez. "But I gotta get up and get going early to beat the traffic to Dodger Stadium, especially on opening day."
Sellers went 0-for-4 with a strikeout, but made several smooth plays in the field. Mattingly said he was happy with his decision to start Sellers at shortstop over Luis Cruz, who stayed at third base.
"I really like Sells there," Mattingly said. "He's steady, and when you see him play short you really appreciate how good he is."
Right-hander Chad Billingsley, who opened the season on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised finger, will make a rehab start for High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday. That could put him on track to make his regular-season debut April 10. ... The Dodgers' other starting pitcher who opened the season on the DL, southpaw Ted Lilly, declined to discuss his next move. The team expects him to soon make a minor-league rehab appearance.

Prince is finally on Twitter, you guys, and it's just about as wonderful as you might expect. The Purple One actually has a sense of humor about himself, or so it would seem based on the new album artwork he just posted via the social media site. Prince, or someone in his entourage made a "Breakfast Can Wait" album cover, inspired by a
1994 2004 "Chapelle Show" sketch. In it, Charlie Murphy recalls a wild night spent at Prince's mansion, where they played "shirts vs. blouses" basketball and ate pancakes.
Of course, this is not (probably?) actually the new Prince album cover, but it is an actual new song:
Here's the original "Chapelle Show" sketch. It's. So. Good.

The determinants of science-based cluster growth: the case of nanotechnology
There are growing academic and policy interests in the factors that underpin the formation and growth of clusters, especially in such 'hyped-up' scientific and technological fields as the nanotechnologies. With this paper we analyzes the determinants of scientific cluster growth (measured by the number of publications emanating from them), distinguishing between structural effects (ie, initial cluster size, scientific field composition, and geographic location), on the one hand and scientific variety, organizational diversity, and degree of openness (in terms of collaboration with outside actors), on the other. Overall, scientific variety enhances cluster growth, but organizational diversity, slows it down. However, patterns of growth are different in Asia, Europe, and North America, and it seems that cluster evolution is highly contingent on national systems of innovation and on the history of collaboration amongst local actors. Policy makers and cluster strategists must design specific policies according to location and should not simply attempt to replicate best practices from one zone to another. Slow growth may also reflect 'elitist' strategies—those based on quality rather than on numbers.

Investors in country ETFs, such as iShares MSCI Mexico Index Fund (EWW), ProShares Ultra MSCI Mexico Investable Market ETF (UMX) or the locally traded iShares NAFTRAC (MEX:NAFTRAC), are best served paying close attention to such leading indicators to anticipate the direction of the country they are invested in. In Mexico, the Mexican Institute for Statistics and Geography (INEGI) publishes several leading indicators, including the Industrial Production Index, based on the physical volume of industrial production.
On October 12, 2012, the INEGI released the latest Industrial Production Index. While the actual numbers showed an increase, the seasonally adjusted index (shown above) reflected a slow down during August. Nonetheless, for almost a year, the Index has shown a pattern of two month increases followed by a month decrease. If indeed the industrial sector is just catching its breath, then the September figure, which will come out early November, should show an uptick once again.
While the decrease in August may be interpreted as negative, EWW investors should wait for the next data point before declaring a downtrend. Investors in other Latam ETFs such as iShares S&P Latin America 40 Index ETF (ILF) or SPDR S&P Emerging Latin America ETF (GML) should also take note, as their share of holdings in Mexican stocks is 27% and 23%, respectively. It is worth mentioning that most Mexican leading indicators for September have shown signs of a slowdown, hence it is difficult to disregard the September decrease as just a pattern.

After 20-plus years of intermittent discussion and an occasional vote, Middlebury residents will have a clear choice this Town Meeting Day on three options for their municipal building:
• To keep it as it is, do constant repairs and inevitably face another vote in the not too distant future to replace the current building;
• To raze the current municipal building and build new on that site at an estimated cost of $6 million to $10 million, or to renovate at a cost of $2 million to $4.5 million, all paid with taxpayer dollars;
What's the true nature of our expensive healthcare system? Is it an overregulated mess that's crying out for free-market forces to improve quality and lower costs, by expanding competition among providers?
Or is it an under-regulated mess that's crying out for a single-payer system to improve quality and lower costs, by eliminating the expensive, greedy middlemen known as insurance companies?
Gov. Shumlin's 2014-15 budget is a political masterstroke in an election year. By relying on one-time funds such as a tobacco settlement and payments by Entergy associated with the shutdown of Vermont Yankee, the governor was able to close almost all of a projected $70 million budget gap without having either to cut programs or to raise broad-based taxes.
In last week's article "Selectman threatens to quit," Mr. Forbes alleged that several Middlebury Public Works employees are dissatisfied by the way the department is being run.

Surimi has long been popular in Japan, but has only recently begun to gain popularity in the United States.
Made from Alaskan pollock, or sometimes New Zealand hoki, surimi provides a low-priced, tasty alternative for many kinds of shellfish. When choosing surimi, remember to look for very white, opaque flesh.
Preparation and Eating Tips:
Since surimi seafood is pre-cooked, it can be used cold, or can be thrown into dishes in the last few minutes of cooking to heat through. Surimi is sold in strips, chunks or flakes, and resembles the seafood it imitates in flavor and texture. You can substitute surimi for any recipe that calls for shellfish.
Surimi can be substituted for scallops, shrimp, crab and lobster.
Dieter's Tips:
Use this versatile, lowfat taste treat in cold or hot salads, stuffings, pasta dishes and dips.
Nutrition Facts:
Put rice in 1-1/2-quart ovenproof casserole and sprinkle with half of the leeks, half of the garlic, half of the tomatoes and half of the parsley. Add the bay leaf and surimi. Sprinkle with the remaining leeks, garlic, tomatoes and parsley. Add the wine, cover tightly, and bake, covered, at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. To serve, mound the vegetables on plates and arrange surimi strips over them.

Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i / Kiss X4 Digital) In-depth review

RAW headroom
Typically, shooting in raw mode will ensure that you get around 1 EV (one stop) of extra information available in highlights. Negative digital exposure compensation when converting such files can recover detail lost to over-exposure. As with previous reviews we settled on Adobe Camera RAW for converting raw files from the EOS 550D to retrieve the maximum dynamic range from our test shots.
As you can see the default Adobe Camera RAW conversion delivers slightly less dynamic range than JPEG from the camera (a more contrasty tone curve is the main culprit). It is, however, possible to get considerably more than this out of the file, (for example, our ACR 'Best' parameters) but doing so results in a very flat, totally unrealistic (and certainly 'unphotographic') image. The important point is that this additional information is there if you wish to selectively recover and blend-in this detail from a series of differently processed versions of the raw file.
- ACR Default: Exp. 0.0 EV, Blacks 5, Contrast +25, Curve Medium
- ACR Auto: Exposure -0.95 EV, Recovery 8, Blacks 0, Brightness 0, Contrast 0, Curve Medium
- ACR Best: Exposure -2.05 EV, Recovery 0, Blacks 0, Brightness +150, Contrast -50, Curve Linear
|Usable range
|ACR Default
|ACR 'Best'
Highlight tone priority in raw mode
The 'Highlight tone priority' (HTP) function expands dynamic range in the highlights and can be activated via C.Fn II-6. With HTP turned on the minimum ISO setting increases to 200. We've looked at this feature in previous reviews and in the dynamic range section of this review, and HTP works in exactly the same way in the EOS 550 as it does in other recent Canon DSLRs, including the EOS 7D.
Most of the time, the effect of HTP is likely to be fairly subtle in our experience, but it can make a huge difference to some scenes, like the one we've shown here. These four images are the product of two photographs taken in Raw + JPEG simultaneous capture, at the same ISO sensitivity and exposure values. With HTP turned off, the brightest areas of this scene are obviously clipped, but when HTP is turned on, these areas are restored to their true color, and a lot of detail is revealed which is lost to clipping in the original shot.
The same goes for raw files as well. These two raw files were converted in ACR with -2EV digital exposure compensation, and the 'brightness' value increased to achieve equivalent luminance in the sunlit brickwork to the left of the image (which is the nearest thing to a midtone in this shot). You can see that the raw file recorded with HTP turned on contains a lot more detail in the highlight areas, and a much truer color tone. The raw file created with HTP turned off looks washed out by comparison, and the color of the bright areas is inaccurate.
In simple terms, what this tells us is that where you'd normally expect around 1EV of extra dynamic range in the highlights in a raw file compared to a JPEG, turning HTP on will get you around 2EV of extra range (i.e. 1EV more than a simultaneously captured JPEG).

Discuss in the forums
Is the Canon EF 100-400 mm Mark 11 lens adaptable to a EOS 550 D.
Will the lens do good on it? What is the current price tag in the USA?
Seriously Pentax has around 2% of market share :O The K-X and K-7 are really good cameras for there categories and price etc... Given that they have only 2% market share should I be scared to buy a camera from them? Could they just say one day right we will no longer make cameras and that's it? To add to that question what other lens do mount on Pentax?

About This Statistic
The statistic shows the number of deaths due to terrorism worldwide between 2006 and 2015. 28,328 people were killed by terrorists in 2015.

Terrorism worldwide
Terrorism is often defined as unlawful violence or systematic use of terror against civilians or politicians for ideological or political reasons, with the intention to create fear. Terrorism is practiced by nationalistic groups, religious groups, revolutionaries and ruling governments.
The number of terrorist attacks worldwide declined between 2006 and 2013. In 2006, about 14,371 terrorist attacks were counted, while in 2006, 9,707 terrorist attacks were counted. The fear of terrorism is still instilled in many people's minds. According to Gallup's survey, which was conducted among adults in the United States in 2013, 34 percent of the participants stated that they were very worried about the possibility of future terrorist attacks. Only 10 percent of the participants said that they were not at all worried.
The number of deaths due to terrorist attacks worldwide between 2006 and 2013 declined by about 2,500 killed people but increased from 2012 to 2013 with a number of 6,000 killed people.
Compared to other countries, Africa was the country with the highest lethality due to terrorist attacks in 2010. 879 attacks were recorded on the continent and 2,137 people had been killed in these attacks. 704 terrorist attacks were counted in Europe and Eurasia and caused around 355 killed people.

I am said that David Bowie had to go back to his home planet. Listen to Freddie Mercury and David Bowie on the isolated vocal track for the Queen hit "Under Pressure," 1981
A manga-face generator site.
"'Adulting' is an Indictment of Society, Not of Millennials." The late-Boomer author claims that today's kids don't want to work hard because
opportunities that were available to previous generations have disappeared. My father was a high school dropout, but at 21 he got a union job with a railroad and turned it into a nice middle class career that gave me and my brothers a good start on our own lives. Where would he work today, Walmart?So, yes, a nice middle class career is much harder to get these days, especially for white people, and even if you do get one you don't make as much money because you've gone into a lot of education debt. But is it really true that Millennials don't work hard? Seems to me it's usually been the case that kids first coming onto the job market are underemployed.
Apparently some people still haven't gotten the message that policing women's language is not going to magically cut through all the sexist attitudes that make it more difficult for women to advance in their careers.
This week everyone's been talking about an article in the Economistexplaining how men's use of language undermines their authority. According to the author, a senior manager at Microsoft, men have a bad habit of punctuating everything they say with sentence adverbs like 'actually', 'obviously', 'seriously' and 'frankly'. This verbal tic makes them sound like pompous bullshitters, so that people switch off and stop listening to what they're saying. If they want to be successful, this is something men need to address.https://debuk.wordpress.com/2015/07/0
Related to that, I never really got much ambition installed in the first place, but a lot of women start out ambitous and the ambition erodes over time due to lack of support.

Kelley Eskridge, Solitaire
One thread of this story is about what it's like to be in (virtual) solitary confinement and what it's like to try to make a place for yourself in the world afterward. Another thread is explorations of the intersection of reputation, setting, and personality in a world where you have limited scope of action. This was hard for me to read because I liked only two of the characters, and they weren't the protagonist. But there was one section I absolutely loved that made the difficulty of reading the rest of it worthwhile.
Laurie R. King, O Jerusalem (Mary Russell #5)
Historical novel in which Russell and Holmes travel to the Middle East around the time of Allenby's entrance into Jerusalem. Russell has to pass as a boy. I don't know enough about the history or cultures of the region to comment on the accuracy of the novel but I thought it was a good yarn with a lot of interesting, plausible, and possibly true detail. One thing that bothered me slightly is that Russell is supposed to be a teenager but seems to have the mind of a middle-aged woman. I also wondered about the fact that the spies are all British who are pretending to be Arabs and none of the real Arabs seems to be the wiser.
Melissa Scott, The Kindly Ones
Space opera with complex world- and culture-building, reminds me of C.J. Cherryh but I liked this better than most of the Cherryh I've read. Most of the characters have complex motives and intelligence. Almost no one is pure evil, and not everything that might be a gun on the wall ends up being fired in Act IV, so could relax and get to know the characters as people without being worried that they'd get blown up at any moment. Some same-sex relationships that aren't made a big deal of. As far as I can tell Scott didn't write any other books in this universe, which I find surprising.
Lian Hearn, Grass for His Pillow (Tales of the Otori #2)
Tales of the Otori is a 5-book fantasy-historical/romance series set in a thinly disguised feudal Japan. The audiobook is narrated by Kevin Gray and Aiko Nakasone. The writing style is enjoyable with lots of detail. The characters and culture feel pretty stereotyped, so I don't know if people with more knowledge of Japan or less tolerance of stereotyping than I have would enjoy it.
Tina Connolly, Ironskin (Ironskin #1)
Narrated by Rosalyn Landor. I was expecting a light paranormal romance but this turned out a lot better and more nuanced than I expected. The setting is early 20th century England in which the Great War is replaced by a war between fae and humans. Humans wounded by fae have curses and must wear iron covering their wounds to protect other humans from the curse. This book was described as a Jane Eyre knockoff, but the Jane Eyre influences are more in the structure than in the content. Themes include taking back your power, gaining power from abuse that's happened to you, appearing normal vs not, trusting your instincts, the meaning of family, secrets. I have to say I was disappointed in the romance. In Jane Eyre it is so clear to me why Rochester and Jane fall in love, but in this book the romance between the equivalent characters doesn't make much sense at all. Fortunately the romance is secondary to the rest of the story.
The household is currently watching: Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2d season), Hawaii Five-0 (3d season), Elementary (3d season), How to Get Away with Murder (1st season), Lost Girl (1st season, but I've seen through season 4), Heroes Reborn, Agents of SHIELD (3d season), and Trigun. Opinions on request.

Rosemary Kirstein, The Steerswoman, The Outskirter's Secret, The Lost Steersman, The Language of Power
It took me a while to get into the first book but then I began really loving the main characters for their similarities and differences, the way they were described, the way the steerswoman's thought processes are described, the ways interactions between characters who don't know each other are described, the idea of the Archives, the way the map of the area got drawn in my head as I read, and the fact that there are very few sexual relationships or romances centered. I liked the first one a lot because of the worldbuilding, and after that I liked The Lost Steersman best because it had these pretty fascinating non-humans, and a character I liked a lot. The writing is beautiful. Oh, also: a lot of books have action scenes that make me want to skim them to figure out what happened, without wanting to carefully read the scenes themselves. But I really enjoy reading Kirstein's action scenes.
Professor Anne Curzan / The Great Courses, The Secret Life of Words: English Words and Their Origins
36 half-hour lectures about various aspects of the English language (not just origins, and not just individual words) and of the ways that people study and document the English language. I especially liked that she went into some detail about the studying and documenting; a lot of popular works about linguistics don't seem to do that. Her lectures are all very organized and clear, like this: "Here's something about X. OK, what do I mean by that? Well, X is like Y. Here are several examples." I also especially liked how she treated sexist language (in a lecture entitled "Spinster, Bachelor, Guy, Dude" and the movement in the 1970s that resulted in some sexist language actually changing (in a lecture entitled "Firefighters and Freshpersons"). I was amused that she managed to talk about taboo words without ever saying any of them (except "cock"). And she did a good job of covering some Internet language, although she didn't discuss LOLspeak or my current favorite phrase ("I can't even"). Recommended.
A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night
I watched this a while back, but it is awesome and I want everyone to know about it. It's an Iranian-American vampire spaghetti western (that's the label the filmmaker uses) and it has a vampire who dresses in chador and rides a skateboard. Very atmospheric, beautiful noirish cinematography, good soundtrack.
Directed by Paul Feig, starring Melissa McCarthy (same team that did The Heat last year. Passes the Bechdel test. I did a lot of research on this one to find out if it had fat jokes, because fat jokes really ruin movies for me. All the scuttlebutt said there weren't any. That was almost entirely true. However, the beginning of the movie relies a lot on the trope that middle-aged women are in essence frumpy and unattractive. It's important to the plot to set that up, but it was uncomfortable to watch for a while. I really liked the middle of the movie, where Melissa gets to go out into the field and kick ass. Then it got uncomfortable again at the end because it seems that she still has a crush on Bradley, the jerky agent she works with, who doesn't appreciate her enough. And the final scene, where she wakes up in bed with Rick, not remembering anything, and he says 'You loved it.'" is hugely problematic. So, Stef-Bob says walk out five minutes before the end.
I'm mostly playing BigFishGames hidden object adventures, which are all alike, and you probably already know whether you like them or not. But I did also pick up Catlateral Damage on Steam. You play a cat and the object of the game is to knock everything onto the floor. There are timed modes and free play modes. I find this much more satisfying to work off frustration than games where you have to shoot poor helpless monsters.

"It took nine months for Kathy to be diagnosed with potentially life-threatening uterine fibroids that required surgical intervention. And that was only after she took it upon herself to demand an ultrasound."
"I think it's the same deeply rooted sexism that we see in other realms, like when it comes to not believing rape survivors. We don't trust women to be the experts on their own bodies, or to be reliable narrators of their own lives."
"There really are these two levels of gender bias happening. There's the level of actual interactions with doctors and providers, where there's this unconscious bias that makes them quicker to dismiss problems as psychological in women. But more broadly, there's the bias in the medical and clinical research that means women's health is underresearched."
I found a couple more interesting ones while surfing from the original:

This one is a couple of months old. The game Rust originally had one avatar, which looked like a white man. Then they made a couple of more avatars, and assigned them to players at random. Some avatars looked like African Americans. Some of the gamers had a problem with this.
I would play this game to support what the company is doing, except a game that "plays like a cross between Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto" does not sound like my cup of tea at all.

"These moves are an example of what Professor Nancy Leong describes as "racial capitalism", a practice that is based on the management of racial stagecraft and optics, neoliberal multiculturalism, and maximizing the superficial in the interest of profits. Racial capitalism has little to no substantive social justice component, and in many ways can work against meaningful social, economic, and political progress for people of color."
"For example, just as with racial capitalism in its worst moments, the retreat from the Confederate flag by Republicans obscures more than it reveals.
"Republican presidential candidates and other Right-wing elites are willing to sacrifice the Confederate flag because they do not want to talk about guns and Right-wing domestic terrorism in the aftermath of The Charleston Massacre.
"Removing the Confederate Flag does not restore the voting and civil rights protections—won in blood by the Civil Rights Movement—that were recently destroyed by the Republican Party, the Right-wing media, and the Supreme Court."
Although I am happy that all US couples who want to legally bind their relationships will now be able to do so, I don't trust legal marriage because it involves signing a contract with the government, and also because I don't think it provides the economic benefits that are supposed to accrue. And I think it would be better if all the rights that go with it were available generally to individuals and/or within whatever relationship configurations people want to choose. Here's one article that addresses some of that.
"The Marriage Opportunity Council, a spin-off of the Institute for American Values, hopes that by adding same-sex unions to the definition of marriage, they can unite progressives and conservatives in a cause to promote marriage generally. The basic premise of the essay and the broader campaign is that marriage provides economic as well as emotional security; that it's good for children to grow up in two-parent families; and that a class gap has opened up in the incidence of marriage, which widens inequality and harms the poor, especially the children of the poor. A 'growing class-based marriage divide threatens all of us,' the several authors, led by longtime marriage advocate David Blankenhorn, write. 'It endangers the very foundations of a broadly middle-class society.http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politi
...by emphasizing marriage per se, the writers ignore marriage-neutral measures that could really help children and parents, such as more supportive work-family policies, more comprehensive child care options, and higher earnings for working people. Progressives would do better to fight for policies that aid the broad spectrum of kids and families.
Forgot where I got this, sorry: In which is discussed Kirk & Spock and their effect on the modern understanding of queerness and fandom. It includes the claim that Roddenberry deliberately encouraged the notion that Kirk & Spock were lovers. It sounds like retconning to me, but I could be wrong. Either way, the argument in favor is interesting and includes several links to video clips that I hadn't thought about that way.

At one polycon I attended, we called this "old relationship energy".
"Your heart no longer speeds up when you see them, but instead, everything calms down. When youre in the room with them, you feel calm, and secure. When you cuddle them you feel your heart beat slow, and the sound of their breathing carry you towards comfort. It doesnt feel like a roller coaster anymore, it feels like home."

I liked Rebecca Solnit's article that spawned the term "mansplain." Here she has written an op-ed titled "A letter to my dismal allies on the US left." In this post she unfortunately uses the same sort of language and phraseology ("Leftists explain things to me") to punch in the other direction and complain about people she calls "radical leftists" whom she claims are full of "bitterness and negativity."
I don't like it at all, largely because of the "us and them" dichotomy she sets up. "Please, radical leftists, spare us the bitterness and negativity; we need hope and incremental victories and you provide neither." So who is "us"? I can only assume she means people who are more mainstream than "radical leftists." So, it's a person who is closer to the majority viewpoint dressing down people who are farther away from it. That reminds me of Christians who complain that they are oppressed because people greet them with something other than Merry Christmas during the holidays.
If she were talking about people who approach the world using a negative mindset and admitted they exist in every pocket of the political spectrum, I wouldn't mind it so much. She doesn't like complainers, fine.
If she were talking about a conversational pattern where person 1 says "Such and such is good" and person 2 says "yabbut such and such is bad," and she didn't irrevocably tie it to a particular corner of the political spectrum, I wouldn't mind, because when that pattern dominates a conversation it can shut things down.
If she were talking only about people's behavior when they are playing a role as activist, she has a point: negativity can be a bad strategy and inviting positive dialogue with people who don't completely share your views is one way of practicing activism.
But she isn't complaining about people in their roles as activists. She's complaining about any situation where she mentions something positive that a politician did and someone replies by saying they did bad stuff. She complains about how people converse at dinner parties, and presumably she doesn't mean political planning meetings. So she comes across as insisting that if you're left of Democrats and interacting with people more moderate than you in any way, you don't ever get to mention anything politically negative to them. That sounds like bright-siding to me. (A word made popular by Barbara Ehrenreich in Bright-Sided: How Positive Thinking Is Undermining America.)
She then proceeds to give seriously embarassing straw man examples: "Can you imagine how far the civil rights movement would have gotten, had it been run entirely by complainers for whom nothing was ever good enough?" Does she have any idea how old that cliche that is? Does she have any idea of the huge variety of viewpoints and actions that made up the civil rights movement in the 60s and 70s? She's white, but she is a writer and the same age as me, she should at least have read one book about it or watched Malcolm X or something.

How India influenced the English language:
"Shawl enters English in the 18th and 19th Century because it becomes a desirable luxury garment for women in high society – if you had a brother working for the East India Company, you would want him to send you a beautifully embroidered shawl. Patchouli is linked to shawls because the perfume was used to deter moths while shawls were being transported and as a result this heady, heavy perfume became popular in Britain"....But patchouli soon lost its aspirational edge. "As the 19th Century moves on, patchouli becomes associated with racy, decadent French women and prostitutes. So patchouli goes from something royalty might wear into being beyond the pale, and then in the 1960s it becomes associated with the hippie movement."
Robot sewing machines could take over the jobs of garment workers.
People who sew garments tend to be mistreated and paid poorly.
When are we going to set up guaranteed incomes so this sort of thing stops being a problem?
Also will the robots be able to customize fit better? Or will they be worse at it?

Caviar is a name given to the unhatched roe of fish in the sturgeon family. It is also used as a generic term for the edible roe of any fish.
True caviar comes from either the Beluga, Sevruga, or Ossetra sturgeons. Due to its rarity and popularity it is very expensive.
In recent years there has been an embargo on some caviars in the United States due to the overfishing and rarity of the fish.

I do understand that. The MGs have a great relationship with a local
nursery who was going to donate a requested Horse Chestnut to be planted on
the grounds. When I went to pick it up, he said he couldn't, it just wasn't
up to snuff. But he didn't throw it away.
Lowe's though is a different ball of wax. But, again, I can uderstand it to
some degree, but mainly I believe they just don't want to be bothered. And
besides, they aren't losing anything by throwing it away. These plants are
all guaranteed sales by the growers.

Cannot get InvokeActionItem to recognized and/or executed
Copied code ffrom documentation (2 places, more or less identical) and added to my actions. My ActionItems still appeared in menu and executed but the InvokeActionItem entries did not appear in menu and when I forced them to the ActionBar I got the error below at execution time
QML Code
at end of page definition
actions: [
ActionItem {
title: qsTr("Sound")
ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.OnBar
onTriggered: {
ActionItem {
title: qsTr("BBM: View and Update Profile")
ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.OnBar
onTriggered: {
myClass.displayProfilePage(); //from example
ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.OnBar
ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.OnBar
Here is error message I get
InvocationWrapper:nQueryFinished: menu service population failed
query mimeType=""
query uri=QUrl("")
query data= ""
query action= "bb.action.BBMCHAT"
query target= ""
query perimeter= 0
MenuManager.error()= 1
MenuManager.isFinished()= true
InvocationWrapper:nQueryFinished: no matching result from Menu Service for query
data= ""

action= "bb.action.OPEN"

InvocationWrapper:nQueryFinished: menu service population failed

query uri=QUrl("")
query data= ""
query action= "bb.action.INVITEBBM"
query target= ""
query perimeter= 0
MenuManager.error()= 1
MenuManager.isFinished()= true
Solved! Go to Solution.
Your "Start BBM Chat" and "Invite to BBM" InvokeActionItems require a valid URI. If it's missing they won't appear. In the case for chat, the URI has to be a PIN of a BBM contact.
Yes, but the QML parser doesn't know that a URI is needed.
It explains why my C++ call failed when I tried it without a URI too but not why the action was not added to the Menu.
Not all InvokeActionItems require a URI, so the QML parser isn't displaying an error. But those two action IDs do.
The example in the documentation doesn't make sense then.
No one would put a hard coded invite into a menu, 'a menu item to invite only one person'. Is it the pin of the "inviter" or the pin of the "invitee". I thought it was the "invitee" expecting a display of a page into which the pin or some other way of identifying the person to be invited and then the invite is sent.
Or, is it not a menu item at all and a simple invoke with a pin already selected from another page. If this is true why do both examples that I have seen show InvokeActionItem as being shown with other menu items. And, if they are not menu items how do you invoke it - where in the user interface does this occur. If it were a slot it could be signalled but I don't see that in the examples.
What are you trying to do, dynamically choose a contact from within your application or do you want the BBM contact picker to appear, allowing the user to choose a contact (both are possible)?
Go to your slide from your presentation last week "Invoking BBM"
On that slide on the right is what looks like a menu on which there are 5 entries.
Is that a menu or is is not.?
Then, for each menu you have a slide.
For BBM Chat you have
Start a BBM chat
InvokeActionItem {
title: "Start BBM Chat"
query {
blah blah blah
The docuiumentation and samples show the InvokeActionItems in a list of Actions implying that this is what creates the Menu item and when slected the page on the righT on this slide will appear.
If that is not the case then what do these two slides actually mean?
So I followed the documentation example and added the InvokeActionItems to my action list (inferred by your slides) but they do not appear in the menu. ActionItems do but not InvokeActionItems.
If the documentation is not correct than how is a InvokeActionItem included in and invoked from QML.
You are correct. Here is the QML that I used to create the screenshots in the presentation. Note that there is a bug in the current public OS that can cause some "share over NFC" type menu items to appear. What you see in my presentation is what should happen and what'll be shown in the next OS update.
The onTriggered methods used here are optional. I just list them for demonstration. There is also a bug in the current OS that prevents updating the URI in the onTriggered method. This will also be fixed in the next OS release.
import bb.cascades 1.0 Page { content: Container { Label { id: myLabel text: "BBM Invocation Demo" } } actions: [ InvokeActionItem { title: "Start BBM Chat" ActionBar.placement: ActionBarPlacement.OnBar query { invokeActionId: "bb.action.BBMCHAT" uri: "pin:2100000A" //<- This has to be a PIN in your BBM contacts or this won't appear in the menu. } onTriggered: { uri = "pin:2100000B" //<- This also has to be a PIN in your BBM contacts, or else PIN above would be used. } }, InvokeActionItem { title: "Set BBM Avatar Pic" query { invokeTargetId: "sys.bbm.imagehandler" invokeActionId: "bb.action.SET" uri: "file:///accounts/1000/shared/photos/avatar.png" } }, InvokeActionItem { title: "Invite to BBM" query { invokeActionId: "bb.action.INVITEBBM" uri: "pin:2100000A" } }, InvokeActionItem { title: "Share Text Over BBM" query { mimeType: "text/plain" invokeTargetId: "sys.bbm.sharehandler" invokeActionId: "bb.action.SHARE" data: "This is some text to share." } onTriggered: { data = "Some new text" } }, InvokeActionItem { title: "Share Image Over BBM" query { invokeTargetId: "sys.bbm.sharehandler" invokeActionId: "bb.action.SHARE" uri: "file:///accounts/1000/shared/photos/avatar.png" } } ] }
Recompiled with Gold version and InvokeActionItems now appear in menu. They are all grouped after action items on menu no matter where they are placed in QML.
Now just have to figure out 1) why I can no longer register app with BBM in Gold and 2) how to dynamically change the uri's seeing as there is no prompt
Glad it's working for you now.
Refer to this link for the registration issue.
BlackBerry Messenger Social Platform Registration Changes
As for changing the URI, have a look at the onTriggered method I have above. You can change the URI there, pointing it to a variable or control in your application.

2000 Years and Beyond by David Archard
Book Description2000 Years and Beyond brings together some of the most eminent thinkers of our time - specialists in philosophy, theology, anthropology and cultural theory. In a horizon-scanning work, they look backwards and forwards to explore what links us to the matrix of the Judaeo-Christian tradition from which Western cultural identity has evolved. Their plural reflections raise searching questions about how we move from past to future - and about who 'we' are. What do the catastrophes of the twentieth century signify for hopes of progress? Can post - Enlightment humanism and its notion of human nature survive without faith? If the 'numinous magic global capitalism' is our own giant shadow cast abroad, does that shadow offer hope enough of a communal future? Has the modern, secularized West now outgrown its originating faith matrix? Often controversial and sometimes visionary, these seven new essays ask: how do we tell - and rewrite - the story of the Common Era? Introduced by Paul Gifford, and discussed in a lively dialogic conclusion, they add their distinctive voices to a debate of profound and urgent topicality.
