Great glasses. Have owned Native glasses before and always happy with them. Unfortunately these run a little small therefore tight on my head. That was my mistake in ordering, not Native or Tackle Direct. Would have no hesitation buying Native products again buying from Tackle Direct.

[Resolved] Buddypress and BBPress, same avatar?
Hello all, I did some searching on the subject and couldn't find a solution that worked for me. I'm new to both Buddypress and BBPress and I'm looking to use the Buddypress avatars within the BBPress forums. Right now they're showing two different avatars, how can I change this?
Slower, more descriptive solutions would help a lot. Everything I've found so far has either been outdated or too advanced for me (i.e., lacking instruction).

Free Downloads (.pdf): Caucus Exercise Instructions |
About the Student
Handbook A Mediator-Trainee and Student Handbook is available to supplement the DVD, "An Interest-based Mediation: From Workplace Dispute and Discharge to Accommodation and Agreement - A narrated mediator-training video." The Student Handbook includes a full transcript of the DVD's narration, describing and explaining each stage of the mediation process. It includes the film's screen shots, which are the bullet points summarizing key concepts discussed by the narrator. It includes the film's learning objectives, as well as informative background about the range of different mediator styles and approaches. It also includes a caucus exercise, in which students are given the transcript of two caucuses and are asked to identify precise moments where the mediator effectively used a number of specific skills and techniques. The Student Handbook also includes space for writing notes and questions as students watch the film in a class or workshop. Since the written transcript of the narration is included, students can focus on the techniques demonstrated on the screen and on class discussion while watching and critiquing the DVD, without having to try to write down the narrator's analysis as they hear it on the film. In this way, students can return to the Handbook later at their convenience to further study the narrator's explanations of the mediator's goals, techniques and objectives in each stage of mediation. (The Teacher's Manual also is designed and priced so that it can be assigned as an alternative to the Student Handbook.)

Green Car Reports
With just over 100,000 units sold, the Nissan Leaf electric car is accumulating a diverse collection of owners.
But Wasei Hirai isn't your average commuter. Instead of sitting in an underground garage or on a city street, his Leaf adds a decidedly modern touch to the grounds of the 750-year-old Anyo-in Temple in Japan, where Hirai is chief priest.
Speaking with Nissan public relations, Hirai--one of the earliest Leaf owners--said the modern electric car compliments the temple "quite naturally," as both represent a spirit of innovation.
On a more substantial note, he also enjoys the smooth acceleration and quiet interior afforded by the Leaf's electric powertrain.Green Car Reports
Hirai lives on the temple grounds, but uses the car for errands.
He's put 12,000 kilometers (7,456 miles) on the Leaf so far,
averaging 4,000 to 5,000 kilometers (2,480 to 3,100 miles) per
MUST READ: Electric Cars & Solar: Will
They Make Gasoline & Utilities Obsolete?
To further minimize the environmental impact of his driving, Hirai will stop charging his Leaf with grid electricity and switch to solar power instead.
Many people buy electric cars to save money or cut emissions, but Hirai wants to use his unique position to raise the visibility of zero-emission motoring.
By having the Leaf around, Hirai hopes the Anyo-in Temple can broadcast a message of environmental consciousness, and encourage people to live in ways that are more considerate of nature.
The 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami occurred shortly after Hirai's Leaf was delivered, reinforcing this belief.
When faced with such disruptive events, Hirai said people should reconsider "what an ideal car should be."
He said he was confident that, eventually, "whenever people think of a car, it will be an electric car."
Plug-in electric cars still represent a very small share of sales in most countries (Norway is a notable exception) so envisioning a day when they become the norm still may require a certain amount of faith.

Happy is the seeker who discovers Wisdom, |
Take Off Your Shoes was written more than twenty years ago. We have reproduced it here exactly as it was written then, except for a few typographical corrections (and, undoubtedly, a few new typographical errors). A lot has happened within us over the past two decades, and if we were writing the book today, we would probably write it, or at least some of it, differently. But not necessarily better. This book neither is nor is it intended to be an academic consideration of the Bible. I am not a theologian, a biblical scholar, or a historian. In the context of this book, my interest in the passages of the Bible considered here is solely as a spiritual seeker, one who has undertaken a personal, inner journey for the Truth of who and what I am. I know that many of my statements, and perhaps even all of my conclusions, will not reflect, and perhaps may even contradict, current orthodoxy, theology, and history. I mean no disrespect by that, but it does not concern me, for again I am not an academic, and this is not an academic undertaking. For me, the Bible, like other scriptures, is a guide and a tool and a vehicle which can facilitate and accelerate my passage along the spiritual path only if I understand its message to me. Therefore, I take it to be my duty to discover and understand its meaning to me personally, to decipher what the Universal Teacher intends for me to see in it and to do by it. All of that is what I hope to share with you, and I ask that you read it in that spirit. |

HOUSTON – A recap of the Seahawks' 23-20 overtime victory against the Texans at Reliant Stadium on Sunday: Read
The Seahawks. From quarterback Russell Wilson to rookie right tackle Michael Bowie; and running back Marshawn Lynch to wide receiver Doug Baldwin; and defensive end Chris Clemons to middle linebacker Bobby Wagner; and cornerback Richard Sherman to safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor; and kicker Steven Hauschka to punt returner Golden Tate.
And everyone in between, for that matter.
"We play ball, man," Tate said. "We were hanging in there and we were hanging on, hanging on, hanging on, hanging on. Waiting for the break, and we got that to the finish of it. Ball game. We're 4-0. Let's go."
It took a 14-play, 98-yard drive that consumed half the fourth quarter to get the Seahawks their first touchdown, a 3-yard run by Lynch. But on that drive so many others made plays, especially Wilson, who contributed 102 yards with his arm and his legs.
It took an interception and 56-yard return for a touchdown by Sherman to get the Seahawks even with less than three minutes to play, as Chancellor and Thomas helped dupe Texans QB Matt Schaub into throwing the pick-six – his third in the past three games. It then took a leaping deflection by Thomas on a third-and-4 play that forced the Texans to punt the ball back to the Seahawks, sending the game into overtime.
With seven minutes left in OT, Tate fielded a punt at the goal line and returned it 32 yards. On second-and-12, Wilson passed for 7 yards to Baldwin, who then was lifted and slammed to the turf by Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson for a 15-yard penalty that moved the ball to the Houston 36-yard line. After two runs that totaled 9 yards by Lynch, Hauschka kicked a game-winning 45-yard field goal with the calmness of adding just another PAT in a 40-point blowout. Read
"What can you say about Marshawn?" Wilson said.
Well, that he also had runs of 43 and 17 yards and caught three passes for 45 yards.
Defense: Again, there were so many from which to choose in the fourth quarter and overtime, but without Sherman's pick-six the Seahawks would be lamenting, allowing this one to get away rather than rejoicing in how they were able to pull it out.
"You have to go out there and take it from them, and on that play I really had to take it from the guy," Sherman said. "He had his hands on the ball. I was able to wrestle it away."
Just like the Seahawks wrestled this victory away.
"At the end of the day, I just tried to treat it the same – just another kick," Hauschka said. "I've just got to trust myself. We do it thousands of times in practice, and it's no different than that." Read
Defensive lineman Michael Bennett was taken off the field on a stretcher and to a nearby hospital after his head snapped back while running into Schaub. Fortunately, it looked worse than it turned out to be as Bennett was able to return to the stadium and has what the team is calling a lower back injury.
The Seahawks, of course, played without three starting offensive linemen. But Paul McQuistan (at left tackle for Pro Bowler Russell Okung), Lemuel Jeanpierre (at center for the All-Pro/Pro Bowl Max Unger) and rookie Michael Bowie (at right tackle for Breno Giacomini) came through when the offense most needed them. Read
"I lost my shoe for I think 50-some yards. It might be the longest return without a shoe in the NFL. I don't know, you've got to check that."All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman, who lost a shoe on his 58-yard interception return for the game-tying touchdown Read |
The Seahawks ran for a season-high 179 yards, including 98 by Lynch and 77 by Wilson.
Wagner led the Seahawks with eight tackles, one more than Chancellor and Thomas.
Clemons, in his second game since returning from knee surgery, had his first sack and five tackles.
The Seahawks intercepted two passes, giving them seven in four games; and also nine passes defensed, including two each by Thomas, Brandon Browner and Sherman.
The Texans' Andre Johnson had nine catches for 110 yards, as Schaub completed 31 of 49 passes for 355 yards.
Jon Ryan averaged 46.3 yards on six punts, with a net of 42.8; compared to averages of 45.3 and 33.9 for the Texans' Shane Lechler.
The Seahawks had 270 offensive yards, compared to 476 for the Texans – who also had an eight-minute bulge in time of possession, 39:53 to 31:48. Read

Fluctuations of NMR resonance frequency shifts and their relation with protein exchanging conformations are usually analyzed in terms of simple two-site jump processes. However, this description is unable to account for the presence of multiple time scale dynamics. In this work, we present an alternative model for the interpretation of the stochastic… (More)
In this paper some effects of dynamical coupling between two interaction-carrying vectors on the internal auto- and cross-correlation functions are investigated in the limit of small amplitude motions. A linearized Langevin approach allows the derivation of explicit expressions for these correlation functions and for the corresponding order parameters.
In this article, we present a clustering method of atoms in proteins based on the analysis of the correlation times of interatomic distance correlation functions computed from MD simulations. The goal is to provide a coarse-grained description of the protein in terms of fewer elements that can be treated as dynamically independent subunits. Importantly,… (More)

There's nothing really to get. The closing the circle link is very small...but who cares. The visual is so grabbing. I bet most of you when you opened up A.O.T.W, clicked on this image first. I know I did.
So does it work? Yes it does... especially as a poster ..which i'm guessing it was made for. WHAM! instant message for the instant you are passing by! WOW! Love it!
its catchy just not communicating enough cos witout the copy u are lost.
It's an interesting idea but interestind idea aren't always good ideas...
It's scary for many people.
Even the hooked earring? C'mon. And why the disproportionate hand to head ratio? It looks like a white Shaq. Sure, it's eye catching, but you never want your company to come off as creepy.
T-be or not T-be ? Thats the question
life without music would have been so unfair.

Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Humans in safety critical systems
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Estimated number of "human errors" 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 100 90 19601965197019751980198519901995 % Human action attributed as cause The diagram shows the attribution of "human errors" as causes, which may be different from the contribution of "human errors" to incidents / accidents.
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Undetected Detected but not recovered Detected but tolerated Detected and recovered What is an "error"? Correctly performed actions Overt effects Latent effects Actual outcomes = intended outcomes Incorre ct actions
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Technology centred- view Human-centred view Humans are a major source of failure. It is therefore desirable to design the human out of the system. Humans are the main resource during unexpected events. It is therefore necessary to keep them in the system. Automation permits the system to function when the limits of human capability have been reached. The conditions for transition between automation and human control are often vague and context dependent. Automation is cost- effective because it reduces the skill- requirements to the operators. Automation does not use humans effectively, but leaves them with tasks that cannot be automated - because they are too complex or too trivial. Humans and system safety Conclusion: Humans are necessary to ensure safety
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Ironies of automation The basic automation "philosophy" is that the human operator is unreliable and inefficient, and therefore should be eliminated from the system. "Designer errors can be a major source of operating problems." "The designer, who tries to eliminate the operator, still leaves the operator to do the tasks which the designer cannot think how to automate." Lisanne Bainbridge (1987), "Ironies of automation" 1 2
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Automation double-bind Humans are fallible, and should therefore be designed "out" of the system Safety critical event Design teams are fallible, therefore humans are required in the system
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Maintaining control Being in control of the situation means: What causes the loss of control? What can help maintain or regain control? Unexpected events Acute time pressure Not knowing what happens Not knowing what to do Sufficient time Good predictions of future events Reduced task load Clear alternatives or procedures Knowing what will happen Knowing what has happened Not having the necessary resources Capacity to evaluate and plan
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Goals for what to do when something unusual happens: Goals [Identify, Diagnose, Evaluate, Action] Directs / controls Cyclical HMI model Informatio n / feedback Next action Current understandi ng Provide s / produce s Modifie s Tea m
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Loss of accuracy increases unexpected information Provide s / produce s Effects of misunderstanding Leads to Unexpecte d informatio n / feedback Inadequate actions Incorrect or incomplete understandin g Increases demands to interpretatio n The dynamics of the process only leaves limited time for interpretation Operator may lose control of situation
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Prevention and protection Prevention (control barriers): Active or passive barrier functions that prevent the initiating event from occurring. Protection (safety barriers): Active barrier functions that deflect consequences Protection (boundaries): Passive barrier functions that minimise consequences Accident Initiating event (incorrect action)
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Types of barrier systems Material barriers Physically prevents an action from being carried out, or prevents the consequences from spreading Functional (active or dynamic) barriers Hinders the action via preconditions (logical, physical, temporal) and interlocks (passwords, synchronisation, locks) Symbolic barriers (perceptual, conceptual barriers) requires an act of interpretation to work, i.e. an intelligent and perceiving agent (signs, signals alarms, warnings) Immaterial barriers (non-material barriers) not physically present in the situation, rely on internalised knowledge (rules, restrictions, laws)
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Barrier system types Physical, material Obstructions, hindrances,... Functional Mechanical (interlocks) Logical, spatial, temporal Symbolic Signs & signals Procedures Interface design Immaterial Rules, laws
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Barriers systems on the road Physical: works even when not seen Symbolic: requires interpretation
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Classification of barriers Material, physical Function al Symbolic Immateri al Containing Restraining Keeping together Dissipating Preventing (hard) Preventing (soft) Hindering Countering Regulating Indicating Permitting Communicatin g Monitoring Prescribing Walls,fences, tanks, valves Safety belts, cages Safety glass Air bags, sprinklers Locks, brakes, interlocks Passwords, codes, logic Distance, delays, synchronisation Function coding, labels, warnings Instructions, procedures Signs, signals, alarms Work permits, passes Clearance, approval Monitoring Rules, restrictions, laws
Erik Hollnagel, 2000 Barrier evaluation criteria Efficiency: how efficient the barrier is expected to be in achieving its purpose. Robustness: how resistant the barrier is w.r.t. variability of the environment (working practices, degraded information, unexpected events, etc.). Delay: Time from conception to implementation. Resources required. Costs in building and maintaining the barrier. Safety relevance: Applicability to safety critical tasks. Evaluation: How easy it is to verify that the barrier works.

OMB unveils next-generation e-gov strategy
By Jason Miller
Jul 18, 2003
Mark Forman
Henrik G. de Gyor
The Office of Management and Budget is gearing up for agencies to submit business cases by Sept. 8 for the second round of e-government initiatives.
OMB will accept cross-agency e-government proposals for four lines of business: public-health monitoring, criminal investigation, human resources administration and financial management.
The effort during the next generation of Quicksilver projects is to reduce duplicative systems, said Mark Forman, OMB's administrator for e-government and IT. He detailed the efforts at a hearing last week of the House Government Reform Subcommittee on Technology, Information Policy, Intergovernmental Relations and the Census.
The Health and Human Services Department, Justice Department, Office of Personnel Management and OMB have been leading teams that are analyzing possible collaborative efforts for the four areas, he said.
'We want agencies to take clear ownership of the lines of business,' Forman said. 'Justice and HHS clearly have. We are working with the Chief Financial Officers Council and the Chief Human Capital Officers Council to help establish ownership of the other two lines of business.'
The four areas cover 281 projects with estimated funding of $2.8 billion for fiscal 2004, Forman said. OMB estimates the government can save roughly that amount over the next five years by consolidating these projects under e-government initiatives, he told the subcommittee.
OMB originally identified six areas for cross-agency projects. But based on a recent analysis by Touchstone Consulting Inc. of Washington, OMB decided the four areas offer the largest opportunities for cost savings and efficiencies, Forman said.
'There are billions of dollars in savings potentially possible on the IT and operations sides,' he said. 'We are looking at the convergence between business processes and operations.'
The administration has not abandoned the other two areas'monetary benefits, and data and statistics'but sees them as mainly benefiting two agencies. The Social Security Administration will submit a business case in September for a citizen payment services system based on the monetary benefits area, and the Census Bureau will establish an enterprise license for data and statistical software.
Touchstone's analysis found that agencies requested more than $27 billion for 364 projects in the six areas between 2004 and 2008. The consulting firm divided the projects into three groups: those that are redundant with the current set of 25 e-government initiatives; those that could not be consolidated; and those that could be consolidated.
Consolidation targets
Agencies will attempt to reach specific goals OMB laid out in each the four lines of business.
Among its efforts, HHS'for instance'will establish a federal health architecture and define strategies for consolidating disease surveillance and patient safety systems.
Forman said the need for the health architecture was clear during the 2001 anthrax attack. Federal officials realized that the numerous public health information systems weren't effectively linking medical facilities to the information they needed. 'We probably need two systems, not 18,' Forman said.

On Saturday, hubby and went on a daytrip to Shenandoah Nat'l Park. We hiked on the Limberlost Trail, checked out the Big Meadows and enjoyed the BBQ festival at the Skyland lodge. And of course I can not go anywhere without looking for the birds. I was happy with our hike on the Limberlost trail. I came across the Hoded Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warblers, Black & White Warblers, Blue-headed Vireo's, Tufted Titmouse, Chickadees, Cedar Waxwings and some Juncos. At the big meadows I saw a few Eastern Bluebirds.
A view of the Shenandoah valley from one of the overlooks.
A few of the scenes from the Limberlost trail. A cute deer and one of my favorite birds the Hooded Warbler. A Monarch butterfly and some wildflowers.
The Hooded Warbler seen on the Limberlost Trail.
We were happy to have lunch at the Skyland BBQ and to walk around the festival. They were playing some Bluegrass music while we were there.
Some scenes from the Skyland festival, hubby enjoyed a smores with chocolate chip cookies, marshmellows and the Hershey's chocolate. A swallowtail butterfly, Cedar Waxwing and an Eastern Bluebird.

WESTBOROUGH, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/04/07 -- For most of us, putting a house together -- even a single room -- is a confusing process. Where to begin? What to do next? How can you tell what you really like?
You can slog through millions of styles and products online -- exhausting! What you can't do is see how they'd look mixed together in your room. But what if you could?
Check out a remarkable new website: DesignMyRoom.com. For the very first time, you can sit down at your computer, go to a single site, and create a room -- your room -- from scratch. Not a floor plan. A real room that shows you how your room will actually look.
You can move appliances, fixtures, countertops, furniture, rugs, lamps and accessories in and out of the picture. You can put in floor coverings and window treatments. You can paint and re-paint the walls. You can change your choices. Try out bold new ideas. Then, you can save your room. You can share your room. And you can do it all with no special training and no special software. You can find your look for free -- and have fun doing it!
The Sponsoring Companies
DesignMyRoom.com features cutting-edge technology that lets visitors create a room using premier products from some of America's most trusted brands, including Armstrong, Benjamin Moore, Kohler, Smith + Noble and Whirlpool. There is also access to thousands of other home furnishings products and accessories. The whole idea is to pull it all together in one room setting, play with it, change it around, save it, and share it with the people in your life.
The Designers
The site is hosted by the delightful and multi-talented designer, Robert Verdi, known to fans nationwide as the TV host of "Surprise By Design." Verdi, who dresses Hollywood celebrities as well as their rooms, guides you through the site so you can discover your own style.
There is also inspiration, advice and great ideas from some of America's hottest interior designers, including Eric Cohler, Rebecca Cole, Ernest de la Torre, Harry Heissmann of Albert Hadley, Inc., Laura Kirar of Tru Design, Amy Lau, Bella Zakarian Mancini of Ruby, and Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz. They're all top design professionals with star-studded lists of private clients. For DesignMyRoom.com, they've provided fabulous rooms filled with ideas you can steal -- the site's "Lift This Look" tool lets you help yourself. Their designs and advice will appear frequently. Some will provide fresh insights on designer blogs and feedback on room projects. You can even enter your own room in a contest to win a free room makeover from Robert Verdi.
The Rooms
DesignMyRoom.com provides photos of empty rooms, including living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, kids rooms, laundry rooms, dens, garages and basements. To try out different looks and products, you use computer moves you already know -- dragging and dropping, searching and scrolling. Most home product websites only let you change one thing at a time on one site at a time. On DesignMyRoom.com, you can try them all out in one place.
Another great feature: You can also upload a photo of your own empty room to the site, and within 24 hours it will be up and ready for you to start using on the site for your own project.
Free and Practically Free
To save your project, you register and become a basic member for free. Then you can experience everything the site offers, and you can keep one project up to work on whenever you like. If you upload your own photo, DesignMyRoom.com will adapt it within 24 hours for a fee of $25.00. Becoming a Plus Member of the site entitles you to work on up to five projects at a time for only $4.95 per month. Becoming a Premium Member gives you up to 25 projects on the site for only $9.95 per month.
The Community
DesignMyRoom.com is also a design community, where people can help each other re-make their spaces. You can keep your project private or share it with others. (It's a great way to work with family members or friends who are far away.) You can ask other people for comments, or ratings (two stars, five stars, no stars!) or even a re-design.
"When my wife and I renovated three years ago, we had to sign out samples from retailers and lug them around -- a heavy piece of granite, a cabinet door, ceramic tiles, carpet swatches, paint chips. They must have weighed 50 pounds," said Jesse Engle, VP, Business & Product Development at Swatchbox Technologies of Westborough, MA, creators of DesignMyRoom.com. "Next time, we do it all on the site."
Engle notes that the rooms are not to scale. "It's more like a collage. You see how the elements you've chosen work with each other in your room. Eventually, you need to measure to be sure everything fits. But by then you've found your look, and you can buy what you love with confidence."
"Many people have been turned on by that TV show where an architect seems to re-create whole sections of a house in moments on a laptop," he said. "But that requires training and special software costing hundreds of dollars. We're offering the same excitement -- discovering your look online -- for free. No special software, no training, no hassle. And the process is really fun!"

By Yeshim Deniz DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die.

Tsk tsk tsk, they dont need to do this. Ricky lo has learned his lesson already, he got the message loud and clear. he made a mistake, nobody is perfect anyway. He deserve a second chance and deep inside he felt bad about it. but still people make fun and laugh about it. I feel sorry for him.. in the US, nobody reacts about the interview issue because they dont care and they dont give a damn because they dont have any respect or what so ever towards any actor/actress for they are full of themselves. But in the philippines kapwa pinoy ang nag huhusga. tsl tsk

What do you mean in the US nobody react about the interview? Why should US react to that interview e hindi naman US audience ang target ni Ricky Lo. And you think American people do not react to bad articles? Of course they do. Give me a break? So don't stereotype Pinoys!! The world react to their own local writers, artists, politicians and more doing bad shows, articles, television or politics or movies. That is the DEMOCRACY. All Ricky has to do is improve his job.

Wala na bang maiisip mga writer ng Banana split?
Puro spoof na lang mga ginagawa nila ang corny naman lagi.
Ang nakakainis pa nilalagay pa nila ito sa entertainment news sa website ng ABS.
Siguro kung wala silang mga guests na stand-up comic every week na may sariling materials siguro sumabog na mga utak ng writer nila sa kakaisip kung ano ang isusulat. - AnonymousJanuary 28, 2013 at 12:06 PM

Ganyan din reaction ko nung una, 12:06. Awang-awa ako sa kanya. Kaya lang, nung nabasa ko yung sinulat nya sa column nya sa PhilStar about sa issue, naloka ako. Wala raw mali sa mga tanong nya at rude daw si Anne, e she was just being real naman. Tinatry pa nga nyang maging nice nung start kahit ang stupid lang ng questions. Tapos baka raw dahil sa jet lag kaya ganon si Anne nung interview, pero after non, sinabi rin nyang sinabi mismo ni Anne na "Jet lag is only a state of mind." Biglang bawi. At ikaw kaya, interviewhin tapos laging banggitin sa Lea (Mas okay din sana na off-cam na lang nya pinakita yung txt ni Lea) sayo tapos sa dulo hingian ka pa ng message for Lea. At tanungin ba naman si Anne kung pano sya nakakarelate sa character na pinoportray nya na poor and hungry e rich sya, at kung naranasan na raw ba ni Anne na maging poor at hungry. Wtf lang. Kulang na lang itanong nya kay Anne kung naranasan na rin ba nyang maging prostitute since prostitute si Fantine.

Out of Many Chapter 4
The development of the slavery system The history of the slave trade and the Middle Passage Community development among African Americans in the eighteenth century The connections between the institution of slavery and the imperial system of the eighteenth century The early history of racism in America
How did the modern system of slavery develop?
Has long been a part of Mediterranean Europe Merchants would sell captured Slavic peoples, Africans, and Muslims Word "slave" derives from "Slav" Early 15 th century, the Pope excommunicated many merchants engaging in the sell of Christian peoples as slaves But, since the religions of Muslims & most Africans were vastly different from that of Christianity, most remained quiet on the issue
Europeans wanted to trade for gold, wrought iron, ivory, tortoiseshell, textiles and slaves Typically left the capturing of men & women to Africans Willing to exchange the captured slaves for European commodities The first African slave arrived in Lisbon in 1441 Initially, most were sent to work on sugar plantations
Columbus introduced sugar cane to Hispaniola Because of disease & warfare, the indigenous people population has dropped dramatically Began importing African slaves from Spain The Portuguese, Dutch & Northeast Brazil Portugal created a sugar production center in Brazil Became a model of the efficient & brutal exploitation of African labor By 1600, some 25,000 enslaved Africans labored on the plantations in Hispaniola & Brazil
Local communities, organized by kinship, led by clan leaders & village chiefs Men often took a 2 nd or 3 rd wife Women bore fewer children in comparison to European women Based on sophisticated farming system Cleared land by burning Used hoes/digging sticks to cultivate Rotated fields to allow land to lay fallow Men cleared the fields, women cultivated Household slavery common Did no more work than a free person Only real differences was that slave & free persons did not eat together Many thought that European slavery would be run in the same fashion.
What is the history of the slave trade and the Middle Passage?
"With us they did no more work than other members of the community, even their master….Their food, clothing, and lodging were nearly the same as [the others], except that they were not permitted to eat with those who were born free." "How different was their condition from that of the slaves of the West Indies!" 1789 wrote and published, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa the African.
The movement across the Atlantic to the Americas was the largest forced migration in world history Still disputes about accuracy of the numbers 10 to 12 million Africans were transported by slave ships Roughly 1 in 20 (est. 600,000) were transported to the British colonies of N. America Men generally outnumbered women 2 to 1 Ages ranged from 15 to 30 Every ethnic group from West Africa was represented
Many colonial traders lived in permanent coastal outposts & married African women The grim business of slave raiding was left to the Africans themselves "I must own to the shame of my own countrymen, that I was first kidnapped and betrayed by those of my own complexion." – Ottobah Cugoano of Ghana Most slaves were enslaved through warfare More common were small, night time raids As demand increase, slave raiders had to go deeper into the interior, forcing the captive to walk very long distances to reach the coastal trading posts Prisoners waited in dark dungeons called barracoons Many times, families were split up to prevent resistance Those chosen for transport were branded on the buttocks or back with the mark of the buyer
In the 18 th century, English sailors christened the voyage of slave ships as the "Middle Passage" The middle part of a trading triangle from England to African to America and back to England From coastal forts, crews rowed slaves out in tiny boats to be packed onto the slave ships Packed into shelves below deck Six feet long by two & half feet high Forced to lie in "spoon fashion" One ship designed to carry 450 slaves usually packed in 600+
Morning routine: Breakfast of beans "dancing the slave" 2 nd bland meal Stowing away Below deck: Lack of adequate sanitation "necessary tubs" "floor was so covered with blood & mucus that it resembled a slaughter house"
As long as ships still had the coasts of Africa in their sites, there was great risk of revolts As the coast diminished from view, many slaves tried to jump overboard Captains typically placed netting around the sides of the ship to prevent the slaves from falling into the water
How did slavery in the North differ from slavery in the South?
First Africans arrived in Virginia in 1619 Slaves cost 2x's that of an indentured servant, yet had the same life expectancy Offered little economic benefit The Chesapeake was a "society with slaves" –- meaning that there were many forms of labor Records show that some slaves were owned by other Africans who had previously purchased their freedom Sexual relations among Africans, Indians, and Europeans created a whole ethnic group of freed peoples Only later did the color of ones skin automatically decide ones freedom Many slaves were Christians which raised many questions
Most regulations were an accumulated piecemeal, but in 1705, Virginia gathered them into a comprehensive slave code: "bond or free only according to the condition of the mother" Baptism could no longer alter conditions of servitude The death of a slave during punishment "shall not be accounted felony"
Slavery grew rapidly in the South The use of slaves made economic sense on tobacco & rice plantations Northern slaves worked as servants, craftsmen, and day laborers Plantation owners realized the benefits of slaves having sexual relations "A woman who brings a child every two years [is] more valuable than the best man on the farm for what she produces is an addition to the capital." – Thomas Jefferson They didn't have to rely so much on the slave trade if their own slave population could reproduce and replenish itself
Reduced migration: Increases in wages in England reduced the supply of immigrants to the colonies Dependable work force: Large-plantation owners were disturbed by the political demands of small farmers and indentured servants and by the disorders of Bacon's Rebellion. They thought that slavery would provide a stable labor force totally under their control Cheap Labor: As tobacco prices fell, rice & indigo became the most profitable crops. To grow such crops successfully required both a large land area and a large number of inexpensive, relatively unskilled field hands
Spanish Colonies Slavery in Florida was very benign Conditions resembled the household slavery common in Mediterranean & African communities Spanish declared FL a refuge for escaped slaves from the British colonies, offering them free land French Louisiana The French Company of the Indies imported 6,000 slaves Planters invested in tobacco & indigo North Not "slave societies" Slave ownership was universal among the wealthy & ordinary among craftsmen & professionals Quakers of PA & NJ were first to voice anti-slavery sentiment
How did African slaves attempt to preserve African culture in America?
1641, Massachusetts became the first colony to recognize the slavery of "lawful" captives Virginia 1661, children took the status (free or slave) of their mother 1664, Maryland locked African slaves into bondage by declaring baptism did not affect their status White women could not marry African American men Became customary for whites to regard blacks as social inferiors Racism & slavery became an integral part of American colonial society
Slave codes prevented slaves from legally marrying one another "How can [wives] submit themselves to their husbands in all things? How can [children] obey their parents in all things?" Planters commonly separated families by sale or bequest Generally, slave couples "married" when the woman became pregnant Marriages performed amongst themselves Jumping the broomstick
Had separate graveyards Decorated the headstones with shells & pottery Burial held at night to keep it secret Danced & sang around the deceased "a nation of dancers, musicians, and poets" 18 th century – invention of an African American language A mixed dialect between the Guinea & English Africanization of the South Both whites & blacks had faith in slave conjurers & herb doctors Introduced African styles of food & cooking Slave mothers nursed white children
Slaves were whipped or beaten by their masters for disobedience, running away, etc. The idea was to make slaves "stand in fear"
How did slavery fuel the economic development of Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries?
Generated enormous profits that became a source of capital investing in the economy Supplied the raw cotton essential to the Industrial Revolution Provided an enormous stimulus to the growth of manufacturing by creating a huge colonial market for exports
The slave colonies accounted for 95% of the exports from the Americas to Great Britain from 1714-1773 All trade in empire to be conducted in English or colonial ships Channeling of colonial trade through England or another English colony Subsidization of English goods offered for sale in the colonies Colonists prohibited from large-scale manufacture of certain products
Imperial officials argued that colonies existed solely for the benefit of the mother country Mercantilism = an economic system whereby the government intervenes in the economy for the purpose of increasing national wealth The monarchy & Parliament established: a uniform nat'l monetary system regulated wages encouraged agriculture & manufacturing w/subsidies erected tariff barriers to protect themselves from foreign competition Sought to organize & control colonial trade to the max advantage of its own shippers, merchants, manufacturers & bureaucrats Believed that the essence of the competition between states was the struggle to acquire and hoard the fixed amount of wealth that existed in the world. Thus, whoever had the most gold/silver would be the most powerful
King William's War, 1689-97 France & England battle on the northern frontiers of New England & NY Queen Anne's War, 1702-13 England fights France & Spain in the Caribbean and on the northern frontier of New France. Part of the European conflict known as the War of the Spanish Succession War of Jenkin's Ear, 1739-43 Great Britain versus Spain in the Caribbean & GA. Part of the European conflict known as the War of the Austrian Succession King George's War, 1744-48 Great Britain & France fight in Acadia & Nova Scotia; the third Anglo-French war in North America; the second American round of the War of the Austrian Succession French & Indian War, 1754-63 Last of the great colonial wars pitting Great Britain against France & Spain. Known in Europe as the Seven Years' War
Between 1651 & 1696, Parliament passed a series of Navigation Acts Created the legal & institutional structure of Britain's colonial system Defined the colonies as both suppliers of raw materials & as markets for English manufactured goods. Merchants from other nations forbidden to trade in colonies Specified a list of "enumerated commodities" that could only be shipped to England Sugar, molasses, rum, tobacco, rice, indigo, furs, skins, pine masts, tar, pitch, resin, & turpentine Most were not for English consumption, but rather reexported elsewhere
Wool Act of 1699 Hat Act of 1732 Iron Act of 1750 Colonies were forbidden to place tariffs on English imports Local banking & coinage disallowed Some colonies were in desperate need of money and had started to print/mint their own Began to depend on "commodity money" & foreign currency Used official rates of exchange
Southern slave owners enjoyed a protected market in which competing goods from outside the empire were heavily taxed PA, NY, New England & the Chesapeake began to produce flour, meat, & dairy products None of these were enumerated goods, so they could be sold freely Resulted in larger purchasing power & profits Colonial exports Chesapeake = tobacco South Carolina = rice & indigo Middle Colonies = wheat
How did slavery shape southern colonial society?
Was no formal colonial aristocracy – no royal recognition of rank Wealthy planters were at the top of the social structure "First Families of Virginia" Elected to the House of Burgesses Became a self-perpetuating governing class Typical southern landowner Slave ownership became widespread in this class Poor & landless Some rented land or worked as tenant farmers Hired out as overseers or farm workers Some were indentured servants
However poor a white might be, having white skin was a tremendous advantage Laws stated that the mother determined a baby's free or unfree status Many white men's children were raised as slaves Laws also insured that privileges of citizenship were restricted to whites These helped to insure a sense of distance between the races and a sense of superiority among the white population
In large part it was the labor of African slaves that produced the goods that made the New World economies grow.
1. What characteristics of Africa made it vulnerable to being a source for slaves? Was the slave trade something Europeans did to Africans or did African actively participate in it? 2. Prior to 1500 slavery was rarely found in Europe. Why did Europeans suddenly start trying to get slaves? How did the changing economy affect the slave trade? 3. The text refers to "Shock of Enslavement." Why was this so great? How did slaves respond to it? 4. How did slavery vary in different places? Compare slavery in the Chesapeake with slavery in the Lower South, North, New Spain, and New France. 5. The authors refer to the emergence of African American culture. What do they mean by this? By what process did this take place? 6. What was the nature of the conflict between the English and French empires? How did slavery play into this? What other factors led to the nearly century of warfare between the two nations? 7. How would you characterize the white place in slave societies? Were all whites members of the elite class?

Webcast On Demand
Social computing is a very hot topic right now. It is estimated that well over 100-million people in the United States alone have set up one or more profiles on social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, Friendster and LinkedIn. Add to that market people in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, and it is safe to say that a good percentage of the world's talent supply is indexed by one or more social networks. Research by Forrester tells us that a greater concentration of social computing users are professionals with advanced education, and that they are open to being recruited via their networks. However, many recruiters have tried and failed to recruit via social computing, spending hours setting up profiles here and there, searching for talent, making introductions, and getting nothing in response. If social computing is the panacea for recruiting that everyone claims it to be, how do you leverage social networking tools effectively?
During this interactive session with renowned global thought leader and corporate advisor, Dr. John Sullivan, we will dive into the why's, what's, and how's related to sourcing via social networks.
