SECRETARY OF Education Betsy DeVos this fall weakened laws that make campuses safer places for students to live and learn—particularly protections from sexual harassment. "[T]he system established by the prior administration," DeVos said, "has failed too many students."
DeVos is targeting Title IX, the landmark 1972 legislation to prevent gender-based discrimination in college athletics. Over time, Title IX was strengthened by the addition of the Jeanne Clery Act, a federal mandate requiring schools to be more transparent about their handling of sexual-assault cases and more proactive in efforts to change campus attitudes regarding predatory behavior.

I'm a big fan of podcasts.
As a writer, my all-time favorite is the author interviews and insider insight of the First Draft with Sarah Enni podcast. It's full of discussions with your favorite writers, and incredibly helpful and insightful behind-the-scenes info. It's a must-listen!
Graciously, Sarah agreed to chat with me about how the podcast got started, who some of her favorite guest interviews have been, and a recent read she loved.
Everyone, meet Sarah Enni of the First Draft podcast!
How did the First Draft podcast get started?
First Draft was started in 2014 when a bunch of bad things collided: I was sick of my journalism day job, my book had gone to acquisitions but not sold, and my marriage was falling apart. Yikes. Throughout that hard time, podcasts (especially interview shows like Fresh Air and WTF With Marc Maron) were helping me get through. So when I knew I was going to be moving from Washington, D.C. to Seattle to live with my mom for a while, I decided to make the most of the road trip. I asked every YA author I knew–and many I didn't–if I could stop by their homes and interview them, then release those conversations as podcast episodes. Luckily, everyone said yes. Two months, 40 interviews, and 6,600 miles later, I rolled into my mom's house with a new passion for podcasting.
How did you learn the technical aspects of podcasting?
Google! When I started, it was 2014 and podcasting was really in its infancy. I had some knowledge of recording tape in the field from my journalism experience, and from there I Googled, listened to other podcasts about podcasts, and watched YouTube videos. Then–and most importantly–I learned by doing it. I always say that First Draft has been the way I've learned to fail out loud.
What have been some of your favorite guest interviews?
This is a really hard question, because I've genuinely found so much value in every single conversation I've had for the show. But a few stood out as the kinds of conversations I'll carry with me forever, including my conversation with Libba Bray, Jason Reynolds, Courtney Stevens, John Green, Nina LaCour, Mary H. K. Choi, Jon Klassen, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Kate DiCamillo, and Dan Santat… I could go on! And it was a dream to talk to Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair, Chani Nicholas, and Tim Baltz.
-What do you hope listeners gain from listening to the podcast?The inspiration and confidence to pursue their own writing goals and dreams. Empowering, inspiring, and informing writers is the purpose of the show, and of its spin-off series, Track Changes, which takes listeners step-by-step through the traditional publication process.
What have been some of the biggest lessons you've learned while running the podcast? Your biggest accomplishments?
It's so hard to boil down what I've learned into a few lessons. I've learned to run a business, to organize my schedule and protect my time, to bring genuine curiosity into my interactions with new people. And that's on top of the 1,000 practical tips I've learned from the incredible authors I've interviewed for the show. I consider running this podcast for seven consecutive years—while getting more consistent and organized—to be the biggest professional achievement of my life so far. I'm incredibly proud.
What are your goals with the First Draft Patreon?
My goal with the Patreon is to provide a writing community for people who respond to the kind of approach I bring to writing with First Draft. I'm so excited that the Discord forum is already so lively, and I've loved the monthly video chats where listeners and I share about our projects and hold each other to writing goals. As far as what the Patreons are giving me, it's a huge amount of financial security that I am incredibly grateful for. Consistent income is what I'll need to grow the show in the way I imagine. I'm so grateful to my community for their support.
What tips would you give to wannabe podcasters?
Listen to a LOT of podcasts. Know what you want your podcast to be about—super, super specifically. The more niche the better, to be honest. And know your format (one-on-one conversation; chat show; quiz show; whatever). In my opinion, having a solid structure and committing to consistency will get you the best results. Also: investment in good sound quality is really, really huge. No matter how great your content is, people don't want to listen to tinny, scratchy audio.
What's a recent book you've read and loved?
Oooh! I recently read Isabel Wilkerson's The Warmth of Other Suns and Patrick Radden Keefe's Empire of Pain (both non-fiction), which completely rocked my world. I also adored Beasts of Prey by Ayana Gray and Take Me Home Tonight by Morgan Matson!
What are your favorite out-of-office activities?
Over the last few months I've taken up wood-working, and I've loved building things with my own two hands. I love taking long walks while listening to podcasts or audiobooks, sitting around with friends talking with wine, and taking road trips to places of great natural beauty. I'll be honest, things in L.A. are still only creeping toward normal, so some things (like taking Improv classes and traveling abroad) are just not on the table right now. Hopefully soon though.

Mince Pie Ramble – Matlock to Cromford (10.5 miles)
30 December 2018
The walk starts above Matlock at Upper Lumsdale from where we descend Lumsdale valley following Bentley Brook down to Matlock Green. Bentley Brook was the water source for a series of holding ponds, the water being used to power a series of mills (see the attached leaflet). We join the Riverside footpath along the River Derwent beneath Pic Tor. Then follows the first climb of the day up to High Tor – several view points down to the A6 and Matlock on the right; on the left views of Riber Hall standing proud on the hillside. At the summit the more adventurous walkers may wish to try Giddy Edge before we descend to
the join the River again at Matlock Bath where we will have our first stop of the day.
Refreshments & New Toilets available but you now need to carry 20p!!!!
From Matlock Bath, two Options:
– Main group-high level walk to Cromford (stiff climb from the A6!) or
– Continue along the A6 to Cromford
From Cromford (Toilets available) we will steadily climb up to Black Rocks; hopefully some good photo opportunities and time for a second short break to admire the views.
(Those not wishing to make the full ascent to Black Rocks have a couple of easier options by joining the High Peak Trail sooner and dropping down to High Peak Junction).
From Black Rocks we will continue to the Trig Point (view of Carsington Water), followed by a short road section before heading ENE (Wigwellnook Farm) and descent to the Cromford Canal at the High Peak Junction. We will halt at High Peak Junction for a short break. Hot & Cold drinks along with snacks & Toilets available at the Visitor Centre.
We then start the final leg of our walk via Lea Bridge, through Bow Wood back to Cromford. After crossing over the River Derwent Bridge we take the river footpath at the rear of the church/Arkwright Mill to join the A6 at the Bus Stop (Matlock Bath side of the Cromford Cross Roads) for a coach departure at 4.15/4.30.
As daylight hours will be short "pit stops" will be limited to 20/30 mins. Those opting for the shorter/easier options would be able to enjoy longer breaks. Depending on the weather/light conditions the route may be varied towards the end.
Conditions may be slippery if wet – wooden steps, tree roots, limestone, mud and leaves – please take care, particularly when descending.
David G Coleman.
Free Mince Pie to ALL participants!

Episode 64 of The JamBase Podcast, a partner of the Osiris Media network, features an interview with singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams, who spoke with JamBase's Andy Kahn earlier this week. This was the first full interview on the podcast not conducted in-person. With the COVID-19 pandemic, meeting up with musicians backstage before a show or at a festival for in-person interviews is no longer possible. The next closest thing to being in the same room right now is a Zoom call, and that is how Lucinda in East Nashville connected with Andy in Minneapolis.
Another atypical aspect of the interview was the format. Normally, the podcast interviews are based on recurring themes like "The Art Of The Setlist," "Tour Stories" or "Musical Mentors," but for now those are being set aside. For this and future Zoom-based podcast interviews, no specific theme was chosen and instead, the discussion was a broader survey of how Williams is doing, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Williams also talked extensively about her excellent new album, Good Souls Better Angels, which came out in April. Williams discussed her songwriting process and how she developed the songs that became the record. She explained the autobiographic situation that led to writing one of the album's hardest-hitting and emotionally raw tracks, "Wakin' Up." The interview also covered the role engineer and studio owner Ray Kennedy played in creating Good Souls Better Angels. Kennedy also worked with Williams on her acclaimed 1998 album, Car Wheels On A Gravel Road.
Williams touched on adapting to livestreaming over the past few months and plans for performing again at a socially-distanced Nashville venue. The discussion included an update on Williams' house that was damaged by the March tornados that ravaged the Nashville area. And the chat ended with Williams telling the story of her rock 'n' roll wedding to her manager Tom Overby during one of her concerts at First Avenue in Minneapolis.

I like to keep VS Code lightweight as much as possible, therefore I don't have that many extensions – only the ones that are really cannot live without.
The more extensions you have, the more memory it will consume, the more time to boot up vs code.
I should also add that my main editor is not visual studio code but Webstorm. I mainly use VS Code for small edits on some JSON or small JavaScript files. Sometimes I may also use VS Code for starting up small side projects, when I want to try something new or some ideas from a blog post I just read.
I love VS Code and I like to keep it ready for hacking. 😊
- ESLint – This one integrates ESLint into VS Code.
- EditorConfig for VS Code – Adds support for
- EditorConfigGenerator – I am lazy enough I can't open a new tab and search for a good default
.editorconfigso I use this extension to generate the defaults for me.
- markdownlint – As I'm usually editting a lot of
.mdfiles, this extension informs me about lint errors.
- npm – Adds some nice npm scripts options to the command pallete.
- npm Intellisense – Adds intellisense on import statements.
- Prettier – Code formatter – I really like prettier defaults.
- Vetur – Vue tools for VS Code. Most of the time I'm working with Vue, this extension adds a lot of useful snippets as well as syntax highlighting.
- GitLens – Git supercharged – Helps to visualize code changes.
And that's it! This is the minimum I need to make VS Code work just as I want for my needs. I used to have a lot more, I even lost track of them, until VS became so slow, I had to revise all of them, removing all the non essential ones.
What are the VS Code extensions you can't live without?
Thanks for reading 👋

I was sitting at my computer the other evening when I saw this Red Breasted Sapsucker in the maple tree about twelve feet away. He was very difficult to get a good shot of as it was getting dark and he wouldn't sit still
I went with Aileen and friend Bev D went up to French Creek Marina Friday evening and spotted this semi mature Bald Eagle on top of a fish boat mast. This is hand held at the 35 mm equivalent of 1200mm! I was resting my camera against a metal crane lifting station and my skepticism about the capability of this Canon SX50 has been vanquished.
This is a crop from the above photo
We drove up to Campbell River yesterday to give Cousin Bill some help with his garage sale. Our friends Barb and Maynard and Gay and Doug also came over to help so we got to have a good visit with them as well. They have been friends of Bill for many years and ours for a few. This image shows some happy customers packing away their loot.

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Once you have your own jingle, what's left? Mark Seeley earned his as a Friday morning regular with MPR's Cathy Wurzer.
The radio gig will continue, but Seeley's 40-year stint as University of Minnesota Extension climatologist and meteorologist is about to end.
"I'll be 71 years old this spring and its really time to slow down," Seeley said Friday, just off the air.
The retirement won't be official until Groundhog Day, but Seeley will be wrapping up, just after the first of the year, at the St. Paul campus where he maintains his office.
A southern California native, Seeley had been working at Johnson Space Center in Houston when he was summoned to interview for the U of M's climatology position.
He arrived with his wife in the middle of Minnesota snowstorm, soon realizing there's no more interesting place to study the weather.
"We experience about every form of weather that there is because we're right smack dab in the middle of the North American continent," Seeley said. "If you really want a challenge in your professional career this is the state to live in."
Among the weather highlights during his career, Seeley cites the drought of 1988, the floods of 1997 and the 1999 blowdown in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
He came to Minnesota with a Ph.D., but Seeley also became a student of the sociology of Minnesota weather.
"I think Minnesota's culture has been framed to a degree by its weather history," he said. "We're known internationally as a very resilient culture in Minnesota, a culture that's tolerated a lot. And we still say, 'Well, could have been worse, you know.'"
At the same time, Seely expressed concern that Minnesota is losing part of its ice fishing, pond hockey, snowmobiling, culture due to climate change.
"The measured evidence for climate change is in reality as significant in Minnesota as it is in any other state," Seeley said. "The signals are really strong in Minnesota that our climate has changed and is continuing to change."
That challenge will now fall to others, as Seeley takes more time to simply enjoy the weather.

Our long-term research goals are to understand the mechanisms that regulate stem cell fate decisions. Here, we propose to pursue questions in fetal hematopoiesis by investigating the role, regulation and specification of a novel population of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Although this population fulfills the most stringent criteria fo functional HSC, their life-span during normal development is restricted to a limited developmental window. A functional HSC that does not persist into adulthood has never been observed before and therefore defines a novel wave of definitive hematopoiesis with a distinct endpoint. Our discovery of these novel HSC provides a unique opportunity to pursue the mechanisms that regulate the persistence of stem cells throughout life. In addition, the existence of stage-specific HSC will provide insights to how specialized immune cells are established during specific developmental time points to meet the varying demands on the immune system. Because our finding is based on an irreversible genetic deletion event, our model is also uniquely suited for understanding the relationship between cell populations during HSC specification and differentiation during development. These questions will be pursued by a combination of transplantation assays and in vitro experiments. The outcomes will provide essential new insights on the establishment of the blood and immune system guide strategies for combatting developmental hematopoietic disorders, including certain types of anemia, autoimmune disease, and childhood cancer. .
This proposal will investigate the mechanisms regulating the function of blood-forming stem cells during fetal development. The findings will be used to improve the treatment of cancer and disorders of the blood and immune system.

Sometimes we notice our weight increases significantly over a short duration. Check if these apply and change your diet appropriately to bring it back to normal levels.
Pain killers
When one is on pain medication (pain killers), some studies have shown that there may be a lot of side effects like nausea, diarrhea, chest pain, fatigue, confusion etc. Based on your normal diet and how frequently you are used to taking medicines / supplements, body gets used to processing the normal levels of nutrients and the excess in different ways. One of the side effects is increase in sodium content in the body. Check the medications you take, if it has sodium – excess of it (medicines + the food ingested) triggers a set of side effects in itself.
Those who exercise and have a lot of physical activity are used to taking Gatorade to replenish their electrolytes / body salts.
While glucose and sodium help, potassium is not there. This can create an imbalance if you are on meds (that have sodium) or on your diet.
Canned foods
Most of the canned foods have sodium in it. Next time you shop, check the sodium levels on the canned food. Be it tomato puree, salsa,
- One can of soup has 600-900 mg of sodium.
- Chicken Tikka Masala frozen – 500 – 800 mg of sodium
- Amla pickle – Over 3,300 mg of sodium
- Chips 1.5 oz packets – 150-250 mg of sodium
- Frozen samosa 1 piece – 630 mg of sodium
You check out your favorite foods and their sodium content!
Salt is Sodium Chloride (NA + Cl). The number of spoons of salt we eat (Iodized or Non-Iodized) directly impacts the sodium levels in our body.
Did you Know?
How much sodium does one need a day?
According to FDA, one needs less than 2,300 mg per day, which is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of salt!
What foods are low in sodium?
Fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, unsalted nuts, dairy products are low in sodium. Including it in your diet, especially when you are on medication or when you are targeting weight loss helps!
How can we quickly reduce sodium levels in our body?
- Drink water. It helps flush excess salt and toxins from our body
- Eat foods high in potassium. It helps balance the sodium levels in the body.
- Bananas, cantaloupes, sweet potatoes, strawberries, melons, lemon and citrus fresh fruits contain potassium and can balance the sodium levels in the body
- Activate the organs that remove excess salt from our body
- Kidneys – Remove urea, salts, excess water from the blood
- Skin – Sweat glands remove water, salts and others wastes
- Exercising is a good way to trigger the sweat glands to remove excess salt
Low sodium levels
Unless one is on a no-salt diet, exercising regularly, eating only fresh fruits and veggies, or on a diet / meds that remove sodium from the body, the foods we eat typically have some amount of sodium content in them that can help towards the daily intake.
If one is low on sodium, the condition is called Hyponatremia – it can be dangerous to people who have high blood pressure, on diuretics and heart issues. Talk to your physician and/or dietician to plan an appropriate diet for you!
losing the weight gained (water weight)
While it is easy to gain while on pain meds, it is hard to get rid of them. Best way is to exercise and let your sweat glands do its work!
- Manage salt intake
- Reduce canned food
- Eat foods rich in potassium/magnesium
- Exercise regularly
- Maintain your sleep timings
- Increase water intake
Diet during recovery
Most physicians recommend a bland diet during recovery, suggest fresh fruits (apples and bananas) that can help balance sodium and potassium levels in our body. Planning one's diet while one is taking medication and recovering is critical.

Imo? One of the best protection screen out there. I bought this for my S5 a while back then bought something else for my tablet, I was disappointed when I got the something else one.... it was cheap plastic. . Nice and all but I wouldn't want to drop anything on that cover..
I am currently between jobs, and use this book every day to plan my job search. It is literally like a shot of confidence in the arm. The book is full of great insights not just on the job search, but also on the entire psychology of it all. It has great websites you can use to do career tests and personality tests. The great thing about the book is that the author has so much experience, so is able to draw on those many years, to give advice. It is like having a high-paid careeer coach. I can't recommend this book enough.
We Love this Stroller. We purchased it, so we could start running again. It's an extremely smooth ride, maneuvers easily, and has great breaks. However, if you have a LO that is used to being in a rear facing car seat, buy the adapter for it... our LO freaked out when we faced her out. We actually went back and purchased the adapter and now she loves her stroller.
I use to buy ojon all the time! i loved it -made my hair grow kept it healthy. Now the new ingredients don't do anything for my hair.
My favorite anti-virus to use, and only one i will ever remain to use. Scans my computer super fast (under 1-2 min) and never had any issues with my computer while ive had this bad boy running. Been a computer owner for years! and never had any virus's because this software takes care of me.

Some big news for you guys right off the bat, Twitter board in final negotiations with Elon Musk over buyout bid.
Twitter's 11-member board of directors met on Sunday to discuss selling the social media platform to big tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and could finalize a deal as soon as this week, or even Monday, CNBC reports. Shares in Twitter rose 5 percent on Monday in reaction to the news.
This after Musk revealed made his public, $43 billion bid for the influential platform, then secured the financing. The board, and current CEO Parag Agrawal, appeared opposed to the deal at first, but the offer per share is well in excess of the current price. Musk offered $54.20 per share, saying that this was his "best and final" offer. Twitter shares were valued at over $60 through much of 2021.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Twitter was planning to reject Musk's April 14 offer, and looked at a plan to issue a "poison pill" to block him from increasing his stake.
Twitter changed its attitude and began negotiations after Musk announced that he had obtained the financing to back hid bid, The Journal reported earlier Sunday.
According to Reuters, Musk "wooed many of the social media company's shareholders with financing details on his $43 billion acquisition offer," but noted that, per sources familiar with the process, "The company's decision to engage with Musk… does not mean that it will accept his $54.20 per share bid," but that "It signifies, however, that Twitter is now exploring whether a sale of the company to Musk is possible on attractive terms."
Twitter is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings Thursday and is expected to address the bid by then, if not sooner.
Musk reportedly met privately with several shareholders on Friday to discuss his proposal and has also pledged to solve the free-speech issues on the platform, his main reason for undertaking the takeover.
Twitter is reportedly facing increased pressure from a number of its shareholders to negotiate with Musk.
The left can't meme. It's true. Because they live off borrowed capital. They only corrupt what has already been built. But Christians are meant to be makers. Because we know the Bible, we know history, and we know God in Christ, the Creator and Maker of all things.
Back in 2017, Netflix tweeted, that "love, is sharing a password." But now, Netflix would love it, if you stopped doing that.
https://twitter.com/netflix/status/840276073040371712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E840276073040371712%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnbc.com%2F2022%2F04%2F23%2Fhow-netflixs-password-sharing-crackdown-is-likely-to-work.html – Show Tweet
Netflix surprised the world this week, saying it plans to finally address the rampant practice of password sharing.
More than 100 million households are using a shared password, Netflix said Tuesday, including 30 million in the U.S. and Canada.
But the video streamer doesn't plan to simply freeze those shared accounts. Instead, the company will likely favor the setting of an extra fee for those accounts being used by multiple people outside of the home.
Netflix's plan to capture that lost revenue would start with an alert being sent to account holders whose passwords are being used by other households.
This announcement comes after Netflix's first quarter report came out, showing that Netflix had lost subscribers for the first time in over a decade.
The company reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers globally compared to Q4, and it's forecasting even bigger losses to come. Netflix estimates it could lose up to 2 million subscribers in the second quarter.
I mean, maybe it also has to do with the simple fact, that Netflix now costs between $15, and $20 per month… There are free streaming services available like Tubi… It's time for Christians to invest in Christian media… Which begs the question, are you a club member? Because if not, you can sign up for the low, low price of $5 per month! That's a lot better than Netflix's $15-$20, especially when you consider some of the harmful content on there.

"When a man and woman say, "I do," they are launched together into a grand adventure with numerous unexpected twists and turns. Along with all the blessings from marriage, there are also sleepless nights with crying babies, expensive car repairs, burnt dinners, potential drama with extended family, and turmoil in the world. The world thinks that when a marriage is confronted with hardship, either spouse can push the emergency eject button and simply move on due to "irreconcilable differences." But Christian couples are commanded, in sickness and health, riches and poverty, good times and bad, to display the glory of Christ and the church. To do this takes gritty faith, covenant fidelity, and joyful forbearance.

The Supreme Court ponders the right to pray on the 50-yard line
This is according to NPR: The U.S. Supreme Court jumps back into the culture wars Monday in a case that involves a football coach's asserted right to kneel and pray on the 50-yard line at the conclusion of a public school football game.
Joseph Kennedy, a coach for the Bremerton, Wash., High School Varsity and JV football teams began praying with his players before and after games in 2008. At the end of a game, he would take a knee and say a prayer with his players at midfield.
By the 2015 season, Kennedy was often joined at the 50-yard line as well by players from the opposing team. Indeed, it was an approving comment by an opposing coach that finally alerted school district officials to the practice.Oh that HORRIBLE PRACTICE, Those Christians are at it again! Stop them! We want them worshipping Baal instead!
The prayers prompted the athletic director, and later the superintendent, to order the coaching staff to stop praying with students. Kennedy stopped his locker room prayers completely, and for a least one game left the home field, returning later when the crowds had gone, to pray by himself on the 50-yard line.
But the Marine veteran didn't like doing it that way.
So Kennedy returned to his praying practice right after the game, mainly at away games, and with little fanfare. By the time of the big homecoming game, Kennedy had retained lawyers from the First Liberty Institute. In a letter to school officials, they said that the coach had a constitutional right to pray on the 50-yard line at the end of the game, and that students should be free to voluntarily join in.
But as events unfolded, "it was a zoo," said John Polm, Bremerton High's principal, describing the homecoming game during his deposition. Attendance doubled, five TV stations showed up, and a group of Satanists unsuccessfully attempted to take the field to perform their own competing ritual.
That right there, ladies and gentleman, is the power of prayer. If you ever feel like prayer to our creator doesn't pack a punch, you need to think of this story.
The school argued, the problem was this was never personal or private or solitary or any of those other adjectives that Mr. Kennedy's lawyers describe. He chose to put himself in the center of the field at the end of the game to make a spectacle. That's why I never had a problem with Tim Tebow, Tebow-ing on the field. I heard the same exact arguments from critics. "He's bringing all the attention to himself!"
Imagine for a second, that coach Kennedy, was praying to Allah… or that Tebow was bowing down towards Mecca to celebrate his Touchdowns… Then imagine, that opposing players would sack Tebow, and then mockingly bow towards Mecca, like they mocked Tebow when he honored God after his Touchdowns… all hell would have broken loose. The school district would 100% let coach Kennedy continue to pray to Allah, or heck, if he wanted to dress as a drag queen… and dance for his team like a pervert, that'd be okay.
Now, NPR noted in the article, that coach Kennedy's case, could eventually lead to the over-turning of a 60-year-old decision banning official prayer in public schools. Now some might think that's a good thing, but for me, I frankly don't give a damn. I'm of course appreciative of the courage coach Kennedy is showing, but we need our kids out of public schools. Period. By the way, if you need help doing that, visit our sponsor, Classical Conversations…
So, you remember how I mentioned the word drag queen? Well, Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire, posted a 4-year old video, showing a Good Morning America clip, of an 11-year old boy, dressed up as a woman, dancing to the delight of all the adults in the audience.
Heck, even Michael Strahan, an athlete I once looked up to was clapping and smiling throughout the whole segment… I won't play the whole thing, but if I had to see this, you do too.
https://youtu.be/JxdvOLdG_34 -Play 1:11-3:34
Now, if that wasn't bad enough, they brought out three men parading around as women out to talk to Desmond, and they gave him gifts, including makeup, girls' toys, and then dance classes, so he can dance for all the perverts that his parents are setting him up for. I won't play that clip for you, because otherwise that'd be 8-minutes of hell for you all. But here's a picture of them in all their hideous get-up.
By the way, to those parents… shame on you. I'm glad we serve a God, who will hand out perfect, and righteous judgement on you both. Because that is cruel, what they are setting that child up for. Walsh's point in bringing this up, is that Disney didn't just NOW become woke… they've been trending this direction for years and years, all while the Church slept… Thank God for bringing judgement on our nation. If you haven't seen our Sunday Special, we had Pastor James White of Apologia Church, and Jared Longshore join us… and they talk about how we as a nation, got where we are today. Jared even mentions, how he's hopeful we see more judgement, because we as a nation, have SUCH a short memory. Heck, I didn't even remember this clip until Matt Walsh shared it this morning. Now that the mask mandates have been lifted, we can not stop there. We have to keep fighting our wicked culture, so go forth, and Fight Laugh & Feast.

Part of Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 7 (NIPS 1994)
Rainer Malaka, Thomas Ragg, Martin Hammer
A new model for chemosensory reception is presented. It models reacti(cid:173) ons between odor molecules and receptor proteins and the activation of second messenger by receptor proteins. The mathematical formulation of the reaction kinetics is transformed into an artificial neural network (ANN). The resulting feed-forward network provides a powerful means for parameter fitting by applying learning algorithms. The weights of the network corresponding to chemical parameters can be trained by presen(cid:173) ting experimental data. We demonstrate the simulation capabilities of the model with experimental data from honey bee chemosensory neurons. It can be shown that our model is sufficient to rebuild the observed data and that simpler models are not able to do this task.

DAEJEON, Oct. 15 (Korea Bizwire) — Many films worldwide continue to express womanhood in a stereotypical manner, a recent study has showed.
A research team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) announced on Monday that 40 movies from Hollywood and South Korea screened between 2017 and 2018 depicted women to be more prone to expressing passive emotions, such as sadness, fear, and surprise.
In contrast, male characters in movies were more likely to demonstrate active emotions, such as anger and hatred.
Female characters were less likely to appear in movies with automobiles than males (55.7 percent) while more likely to appear with furniture and in a household (123.9 percent).
Female characters appeared less frequently in movies than males (56 percent) and were on average younger (79.1 percent). These comparisons were more vivid among South Korean films, the research team said.
The research team used eight indices that they developed to conduct the study.
The team used computer vision technology to compare levels of emotional diversity, spatial/temporal occupation, average age, impression of an intelligent character, emphasis on outward appearance, and the types and patterns of surrounding objects, which allowed for a successful analysis of how male and female characters were depicted in various movies in quantitative terms.
The team downsampled movies from 24 frames to 3 frames per second, and used Microsoft's facial recognition technology (Face API) to verify the gender, emotion, age, and location of the character on screen.
The team then applied object detection technology to collect information on the types and location of the surrounding objects that appeared with the actors, which showed that most films depicted women from a stereotypical perspective.
"Film is a form of media that can heavily influence audiences in their way of thinking," said Prof. Lee Byeong-ju at KAIST who spearheaded the research team.
"We should think twice before creating roles for male and female characters."

Domeview, ∞ Projection Systems Merging, Now 'Infinite Display'
Domeview, the digital display advertising system in the Student Center and the Stata Center's Student Street is merging with the projected advertising displays in the Infinite Corridor to form a new system called "Infinite Display," http://infinitedisplay.mit.edu/.
Domeview was originally a 2004 iCampus project that was conceived by former UA President Harel M. Williams '05 and former UA Treasurer John Velasco '05, and it launched in 2006. In recent years, it has been maintained by Joshua Velasquez '08, initially while Velasquez worked for the Student Life Programs Office, and continuing now that he is a project manager for the Division of Student Life.
The Infinite Corridor projectors have been managed by MIT Audio Visual, and have primarily catered to Institute departments. Domeview, on the other hand, has primarily catered to student groups, though both systems have broadened their client base.
The new Infinite Display takes features from both existing systems. Infinite Display uses Domeview's model of 20-second static displays, rather than MIT A/V's model of two-minute Powerpoint presentations. The 20-second model better fits the attention span of passers-by, the Infinite Display team said at kick-off session yesterday. Infinite Display also adds a flat panel display in Lobby 10.
Like Domeview, Infinite Display continues to offer three days of free advertising per term to recognized student groups, though not in the Infinite Corridor, only in the Student and Stata Center. Infinite Display is a bit less flexible: it requires such free ads to run for three consecutive days on the three displays in W20 and the two displays in Stata. Under Domeview, groups had the discretion to allot their free ads as they saw fit.
Infinite Display charges student groups $20/day for all screens, $10 for just W20/Stata, or $15 for the Infinite and Lobby 10. MIT Departments will have to pay $35 for all screens, $20 for W20/Stata, or $25 for the Infinite and Lobby 10. Non-MIT entities will pay more, though their content must be of benefit to the MIT community, the team said.
Infinite Display, like the former corridor system, is managed using enterprise digital signage software called Visix. Domeview had a custom web-based management interface that allowed advertisers to view, upload, and remove their slides. That interface goes away in Infinite Display; advertisers upload their slides through a web form and then wait to hear back from the Infinite Display team.
The team "tried to wrap the Domeview interface around Visix," Velasquez said, but they did not succeed.
The Infinite Display system is coordinated by the Office of Enterprise Services within the Division of Student Life, and is operated by MIT Audio/Visual and Copytech.
Yesterday's presentation was attended by about forty MIT staff and almost no students. It spent a significant portion of time addressing good design tips for slides. The team also stressed that Copytech staff will be available to help with technical questions and problems with slide design and format conversions. The Infinite Display team said they wanted to provide "one stop shopping" for campus advertising.
Infinite Display will accept only PNG and JPEG formats, and will not accept Microsoft Powerpoint files.

FTC Chair Lina Khan says agency won't back down in the face of intimidation from Big Tech
The Federal Trade Commission won't back down in the face of intimidation from better-resourced opponents, said Chair Lina Khan in an exclusive interview with CNBC Wednesday, her first on-camera sit-down.
Khan said it takes "courage" to take on companies with immense power, especially in the face of the FTC's own resource challenges that force it to narrow down its priorities farther than its leaders would like.
"We're really showing these companies, but also showing the country, that enforcers are not going to back down because of these companies flexing some muscle or kind of trying to intimidate us," Khan told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin and Kara Swisher, host of The New York Times' "Sway" podcast. "I think those are the types of lessons that we're trying to learn looking back over the last decade."
Khan personally has faced pushback from Amazon and Facebook in particular, which petitioned for her recusal from antitrust matters involving their businesses. Both companies argued that Khan's past statements and work for the Open Markets Institute and the House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust investigating tech firms, indicated she had prejudged their liability. Khan also made a name for herself in academic circles through her 2017 Yale Law Journal article "Amazon's Antitrust Paradox," which argued for a more expansive interpretation of antitrust laws when applied to digital markets.
Just last week, a judge in the FTC's antitrust lawsuit against Facebook affirmed that Khan did not need to recuse herself from the vote to file the amended complaint in the suit since she was not acting in an adjudicatory role. Khan said it was "terrific" to see the judge respond in that way.
Khan credited some of the forceful approach of some of these firms with the standards they had gotten used to from law enforcement historically.
"The fact that some of these firms have gotten maybe lighter touch treatment in the past, I think we're now seeing them respond to as some of the cases and the enforcement actions pile up," she said.
Khan declined to throw her weight behind any particular bills that would reform antitrust law that are being considered in Congress, but she supported additional resources for the agency and generally welcomed congressional action to minimize certain hurdles enforcers must consider in bringing cases.
As it stands, Khan said the agency does have to choose its workload wisely, which often involves trade-offs about what it can pursue. Given those constraints, the question of which enforcement actions could have a deterrent effect becomes an important one, she said.
"We have to make very difficult choices about which billion-dollar deals we're going to ensure we're closely investigating, but there are very real trade-offs in terms of what that work is going to come at the expense of," she said.
"What are instances in which certain types of actions could have a market-wide impact?" Khan said, giving an example of the type of question the agency might consider. "If we are able to obtain a particular settlement or consent decree or get a good outcome in court, what are instances in which that could really change the dynamic in the entire market rather than just, you know, here or there?"
Khan said the agency also considers which cases could involve unlawful practices that also have an "upstream source."
"So certain types of intermediaries or companies that may be facilitating bad practices, going upstream and really try to nip it at the source can also be one way we to try to channel our resources in ways that can be more efficient," she said.
Khan said she recognizes the relatively short period of time she has to act on these issues, and aims to do so "with a fierce sense of urgency."
"I think there's an opportunity here to really change and learn from the mistakes of the past and that's what we're going to try to do," she said.

Malta at Odds over Passport Scheme
Malta's citizenship by investment scheme, which includes the selling of its passport to high net worth individuals has been an immense contributor for the local economy. Over six years, Malta's passport scheme generated one and a half billion Euro.
This programme, synonymous with the Labour party has been scrutinised during its initial stages and continues to be so today.
It has been reported that Malta is sparing no effort in defending this controversial scheme and is willing to take the case to the European Court of Justice.
Discussing Malta's position in this regard, Parliamentary Secretary Alex Muscat stated that the country would stand strong against the proceedings launched by the European Commission.
As new legislation comes to the fore, the names of those who lose their Maltese citizenship will be made public, together with those that manage to acquire it. At this moment in time, it is not yet established how many people lost their citizenship, but two have already, whilst another two are being investigated. Maltese citizenship may also be lost if it is achieved through a marriage of convenience.
A couple of weeks ago, the European Commission contested the passport schemes of both Malta and Cyprus, where they were deemed unlawful. The Government will need to reply to a letter sent by the European Commission and has until mid-December to do so.
The new scheme comes with a few changes. Applicants who invest seven hundred and fifty thousand Euro may apply for citizenship after one year of residency. Those applicants that invest six hundred thousand Euro, may apply for citizenship following three years of residency.
The Parliamentary Secretary stated that the authorities will ensure applicants will be living in Malta for a number of weeks. With that said, there is no minimum number of days which has been established.
These applicants will need to go through an eligibility test and would have to invest in property which costs in the range of seven hundred thousand Euro. Those who do not pass the test will not be allowed to apply again. The Parliamentary Secretary stated that Malta holds a high rate of non-approvals, with one in every four not being granted approval for citizenship.
Mechanisms will be put in place to ensure that applicants are monitored for five years following the granting of citizenship. The citizenship programme will be regulated by a new agency called Community Malta.
