Identium® Medium Fast
Jumbo cartridge
Product Varieties
Product advisor for impression techniques
Identium® has been specially developed for the one-step impression technique and combines the best of two worlds: the advantages of polyether materials coupled with those of A-silicones. Based on the completely new material Vinylsiloxanether® (VSXE®), Identium® offers excellent flowability combined with exceptional hydrophilicity (lowest achievable contact angle of less than 10° after 1 second), ensuring optimal flow behavior in a moist environment, even in the narrowest sulcus crevices. The highly elastic properties of Identium® ensure dimensionally accurate recovery and very easy removal. It is also odorless and has a neutral taste.
Identium® Medium Fast is a medium viscosity, addition-curing elastomeric impression material based on Vinylsiloxanether® with high final hardness and quick setting characteristics.. It is particularly suitable for taking impressions in implantology and for the fabrication of crowns/bridges, inlays/onlays and veneers as well as fixation and functional impressions.
Not available in all markets.

Good Morning, Babylon
The content on this page is provided by a Time Out partner.
The always innovative Taviani Brothers pay homage to another unique filmmaker, D. W. Griffith, in Good Morning, Babylon. Vincent Spano and Joaquim de Almeida star as Nicola and Andrea Bonnano, the latest in a long line of Tuscany-born cathedral builders. Emigrating to America, the brothers settle in Los Angeles in 1915, even as director Griffith (Charles Dance) is preparing his epic production Intolerance. The boys are hired to help construct the massive sets for the film's Babylonian sequence (hence the title), for no other reason than the fact that Griffith is impressed by Italian craftsmanship. As the film progresses, Nicola and Andrea assimilate to their new surroundings, even launching a romance with a pair of pretty movie extras. On the verge of continuing the family tradition, the boys' ambitions are cut short by events well beyond their control. Still, their past artistic accomplishments, like those of their forebears, survive the ages -- but only on the ethereal silver screen.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

"The government official also stressed item collecting for commercial use is a serious hindrance to creating a healthy game culture.I assume that the law is only affecting 'black market' RMT since there is no mention of in-game cash shops anywhere. But since botting and RMT saturates all levels in Korean online gaming to the point where the basic game mechanics are designed around them to a certain degree, it will be interesting to see how this new legislation affects both gameplay and monetization in current and future MMOs there. Perhaps the cliche 'Korean grind' so many games there have will become less tolerated by players when it's no longer a simple matter for them to buy their way around it. I'm curious to see how the MMO market adjusts there, if the government can truly enforce this law.
Korea is the world's most-wired society with the Internet penetration rate standing at above 93 percent, data from government agencies said. Korea is also the home of the world's biggest smartphone and TV manufacturer, Samsung.
For online role-playing games, the law prohibits users from using programs that allow in-game characters to hunt and collect items without the need of a player controlling them."

I hope the agency bans ALL RMT :D Take that blizzard!
But seriously, I think the governments statements are great. Just not sure I'd want governments taking such actions. It'd be cool of more conscious games would just take a stand on this kind of thing. It's not like this is going to improve with Corporate backed RMAHs. This is going to get really ugly.

I'll be interested in seeing if the Korean government ends up expecting games like D3 to police their bots and goldfarmers more aggressively now, and if there will be any penalties for games that appear to not be doing enough to combat it.

Is Public Transport Affordable?
When planning transport systems in developing countries, one of the main challenges is to evaluate the proportion of income spent by poorer households on transport as well as in understanding transport patterns in relation to residential location, travel distance and travel mode. High real estate prices in urban centers often force low-income households in developing countries to live farther out in the periphery, with consequences on the way urban agglomerations develop and with subsequent effects on the levels of motorization, congestion, local air pollution, physical activity and the expansion of urban poverty.

At last it's chilly here in LA (in the morning at least) and starting to feel Fall-ish….or as Fall-ish as Southern California gets….I'm wearing shorts……
Anyway, it's helped with my Halloween thinking. So, with the assistance of the invaluable Graphics Fairy along with some fun fonts from DaFont I threw together a quick, easy, Halloween Door hanger that I thought might be fun if you haven't done all your decorating already. And the best part, it cost about $4.00!
You will need:
- Scrap wood cut to size (any thickness will do, mine happened to be ¾")
- A candle
- Flat black paint
- A sander or just plain sand paper
- Mod Podge (I used both Matte Mod Podge and Outdoor Modpodge for this project.)
- Eye hooks
- Wire
- Printables
I came up with these designs using graphics from the aforementioned Graphics Fairy and a couple of free clip art images.
Here are all the graphics along with the two backgrounds in case you wanted to do your own thing. If I've done it right you should be able to click on them and then save them as a JPEG to print out.
I cut my scrap wood down to 10.5" by 3" strips
….and let's say it all together shall we?…." rubbed my candle along the edges!" (Cheltenham Road: where good ideas go to be beaten into the ground!) and then painted over it with flat black latex paint.
(The candle lays down a barrier between the raw wood and the top coat of paint and the paint won't stick to the candle wax. So, when you sand the edges in the next step you reveal the wood beneath and end up with an antiqued/aged look. You can see a full tutorial and explanation in this post I did on making chippy wood letters)
After the paint had dried a quick sanding gave me that slightly antiqued edge.
I then Mod Podged the graphics into place and, after they dried, trimmed and sanded the edges slightly and sealed them with a coat of Outdoor Mod Podge.
After that I put a mark 1″ in from each corner and drilled pilot holes (pilot holes are particularly important if you're dealing with old, scrap wood – it prevents the wood from splitting).
I wired them together and my front door immediately took on a festive, fall Halloween vibe.
Now, if I can manage to look welcoming while keeping most of the candy for myself…………
Further thoughts:
I'm not crazy about the wire hanger. I think a black rope or something would be better and painting the eye screws black would be cool too.
I wanted to use hooks and eyes (rather than wire) which I thought would be easy to come by. However, by thinking that I, of course, immediately invoked the David Law whereby things that you've seen before and seem quite common and attainable suddenly cease to exist. This happens regularly. I don't mean to be egocentric but I'm pretty sure that, at some point in my childhood I uttered the phrase "Oh, I'll go pick you up a Unicorn – they're everywhere" which lead to their immediate disappearance from the planet.

Today the Secretary of State released the 2011 International Religious Freedom Report, the most comprehensive source of information on freedom of religion in the world. Respect for religious freedom is both a core American value and a universally acknowledged right enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As President Obama said, "As history repeatedly reminds us, freedom of religion, the protection of people of all faiths, and the ability to worship as you choose are critical to a peaceful, inclusive, and thriving society."
The International Religious Freedom Report documents where people live, think, pray, and speak freely and where, in contrast, governments limit those freedoms, abusing the rights of their people, violating international agreements, and diminishing the reputations of their own countries. The report highlights key trends such as the impact of political and demographic transitions on religious minorities and the effects of conflict on religious freedom. It documents an increased number of anti-Semitic acts, as well as anti-Christian and anti-Muslim sentiment and actions around the world. These acts are emblematic of the types of restrictions members of virtually all religious groups faced somewhere in the world.
Even as this report documents abuses of religious freedom, the events of 2011 also show that change is possible and suggests that countries whose constitution, laws, policies, and practices protect religious freedom and human rights will be the most vibrant and stable. We noted some improvements in religious freedom in 2011. Turkey returned various previously confiscated religious properties and has discussed reopening Halki Seminary. The transitions in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya hold a promise of greater religious freedom for all that we hope will be realized.
Unfortunately, as the report shows, governments continued to restrict religious freedom, often allegedly in response to conflict and to groups deemed "violent extremists." Governments used blasphemy, apostasy, and defamation of religion laws to restrict religious liberty, constrain the rights of religious minorities, and limit freedom of expression, or they allowed members of civil society to abuse these laws for political or personal goals. Such restrictions contributed to societal intolerance in many countries.
A range of countries remained chronic and systemic violators of religious freedom in 2011. For example, in China, the government continued to severely restrict the religious freedoms of Tibetan Buddhists, Uighur Muslims, members of Protestant Christian house churches, such as the Shouwang church in Beijing, and Catholics. The Iranian government continued to imprison leaders of the Baha'i community and Christian leaders such as Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani. Religious freedom simply does not exist in North Korea, Saudi Arabia, or Eritrea.
This year's report is available through a new searchable interface that can be accessed at www.humanrights.gov/reports. You can also learn more about the U.S. government's engagement on international human rights issues at HumanRights.gov.

The 1970s: The "Toothless Tiger"
Gets Its Teeth - A New Era of Enforcement
The 1980s: A Period of Change and
The 1990s: New Laws, New
The 2000s: Charting a Course for
the 21st Century
EEOC was created in the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964.
This Act was an omnibus bill addressing not only discrimination in
employment, but also discrimination in voting, public
accommodations, and education as well. The law was forged in an
atmosphere of urgency. There was growing unrest in the country
emanating from the pervasive and egregious racial discrimination
and segregation exposed during the civil rights protests in the
1960s. The civil rights struggle was played out in the streets of
Birmingham, Alabama and other southern cities and because of
television witnessed by America. During the spring of 1963, the
world watched as demonstrators were beaten, attacked by police
dogs, sprayed with high pressure water hoses, and then arrested and
jailed. The sight of this kind of brutality against peaceful
demonstrators, including children, outraged Americans at home and
tarnished the image of the United States abroad. Ironically, these
images galvanized the nation by confronting it with its own
On June 11, 1963, during the height of the civil rights protests
and demonstrations, President John F. Kennedy went on television to
address the nation. He gave a simple but eloquent message:
We are confronted primarily with a moral
issue. It is as old as the scriptures and it is as clear as the
American Constitution. The heart of the question is whether all
Americans are afforded equal rights and equal opportunities,
whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be
treated . . . [O]ne hundred years of delay have passed since
President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their
grandsons, are not fully free. They are not yet free from the bonds
of injustice. And this nation, for all its hopes and all its
boasts, will not be fully free until all of its citizens are
Now the time has come for this nation to fulfill its promise.
The events of Birmingham and elsewhere have so increased the cries
for equality that no city or state or legislative body can
prudently ignore them. We face, therefore, a moral crisis as a
country and as a people. It cannot be met with repressive police
action. It cannot be left to increased demonstrations on the
streets. It cannot be quieted by token moves or talk. It is a time
to act in Congress, in your state and local legislative body and,
above all, in all of our daily lives. Next week I will ask the
Congress of the United States to act, to make a commitment it has
not fully made in this century to the proposition that race has no
place in American life or law.
Now the time has come for this nation to fulfill its promise.

place in American life or law.
Eight days later, on June 19, 1963, President Kennedy sent
comprehensive civil rights legislation to Congress. Although
opposition within the Congress was fierce, the need for civil
rights legislation to address growing unrest in the country held
sway. In August 1963, approximately 250,000 Americans of all races
marched in Washington, D.C. in front of the Lincoln Memorial. The
event, marked indelibly into the psyche of the nation by the famous
"I Have A Dream" speech of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. came to
symbolize the irresistible insistence for meaningful legislation to
address the demand for racial equality and justice. This need,
together with the mobilization of the civil rights and labor
organizations and strong Presidential leadership, coalesced. The
result, on July 2, 1964, was the passage of the Civil Rights Act of
1964. It was to become effective one year later.
Despite the urgency for such
legislation, the process to pass it was not easy. The
Administration faced stiff opposition in the Congress. The loss of
President Kennedy in November 1963 to an assassin's bullet
threatened to derail the legislation he championed. However, a new
champion an unlikely one in the minds of most civil rights
organizations was found in the person of the new President, Lyndon
B. Johnson.
Five days after the assassination, while the nation was grieving
its terrible loss, President Johnson eloquently invoked that
tragedy in an effort to give some meaning to that most senseless of
acts. President Johnson, addressing a joint session of Congress,
We have talked long enough in this country about civil
rights. It is time to write the next chapter and to write it in the
books of law . . . . No eulogy could more eloquently honor
President Kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of
the civil rights bill for which he fought so long.
Civil rights leaders, initially distrustful of President
Johnson, soon came to recognize him as an ally and worked closely
with him to ensure the Act's successful passage. Many legislative
battles forced concessions and compromises to avoid a Senatorial
filibuster that threatened to kill the entire Civil Rights Act.
Perhaps the most serious compromise occurred in the employment
section of the proposed Civil Rights Act, a section that became
known simply as Title VII, that prohibited discrimination based on
race, color, national origin, sex, religion, and retaliation. That
compromise resulted in a bill that eliminated any real enforcement
authority for EEOC. Instead, EEOC a five-member bipartisan
commission was left only with power to receive, investigate, and
conciliate complaints where it found reasonable cause to believe
that discrimination had occurred. Where EEOC was unsuccessful in
conciliating the complaints, the statute provided only that
individuals could bring private lawsuits, and where EEOC found
evidence of "patterns or practices" of discrimination, EEOC could
then refer such matters to the Department of Justice for
As will be seen, the decades since 1964 have seen a steady,
growing emergence of EEOC as the lead enforcement agency in the
area of workplace discrimination, as Congress intended. Over the
four decades that EEOC has existed, it has become a respected
advocate for the communities it was created principally to serve.
Those communities include all peoples of the nation because
discrimination can occur to anyone of any race, color, religion,
national origin, age, disability, and of either sex. EEOC
recognizes that as an agency of the government, it has a role of
fairness not only to those protected classes whose forebears helped
forge the alliances that resulted in the passage of civil rights
legislation, but also to the employers and unions that are subject
to EEOC jurisdiction.
EEOC has worked tirelessly to eliminate discrimination from
America's workplaces since its creation. The hard work, idealism,
and commitment of EEOC employees has been instrumental in widening
the doors of employment opportunity for all Americans and helping
to create a standard of living for this nation's diverse citizenry
that is the envy of the world. But challenges still abound. In far
too many workplaces, old ways die hard. Discrimination, while often
boldly evident, persists now in subtle forms as well. The need for
an agency like EEOC is as evident today as before 1964. This is the
unfortunate but true state of affairs as the nation enters the new

Here's the deal.
We have an OpenVPN server, part of a network, for instance network 10.0.0.0/24, and server's IP 10.0.0.15.
We connect to the OpenVPN server, using [b]UDP[/b], and a virtual [b]tap[/b] interface, let's say, tap0.
After we've connected successfully with the vpn server, we run a dhcp client on the tap0 interface, and get an IP inside the 10.0.0.0/24 network, let's say 10.0.0.55.
Along with the IP assignment, a new route will be added in the routing table, a route to the network 10.0.0.0/24, with no gateway(=link), through the tap0 interface.
Howerver, now we can't contact the OpenVPN server. After the new route is added all of our packets to the VPN server, including the vpn packets, will be routed through the tap0 interface, and therefore VPN will stop working.
So, we add to the routing a table a route to the vpn server(10.0.0.15), via our local gateway(for instance 192.168.1.1), through our physical network interface(for instance eth0).
Now, we can communicate with every other host inside the 10.0.0.0/24 network over a VPN encrypted channel. But all of our connections to the VPN server will go through the unencrypted channel(192.168.1.1/eth0 route, bypassing the VPN/tap0 interafce).
But that's not what we actually want.
Actually, we want to communicate with the VPN server over the VPN 'tunnel'(and through tap0) for all the connections we make, except for the VPN connection.
That's possible if we use iptables and iproute2.
We'll mark the packets of the VPN connection using iptables(ie the packets using UDP, with destination address the VPN server, and destination port the port to which the server listens — port 1194 most likely).
iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -p udp -d 10.0.0.15 --dport 1194 -j MARK --set-mark 1
Now, we'll create a rule with iproute2, which will route the marked packets using a different routing table.
First we create the new table.
echo 200 vpn.out >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
We add the rule.
ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup vpn.out
And we add the route for the vpn server to the vpn.out table.
ip route add 10.0.0.15 via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 table vpn.out
One last thing.
With this configuration, there's a problem in the selection of the source address for the vpn packets to the vpn server. Because the marking and the change of the route is done later, VPN will see the "10.0.0.0/24, no gateway, dev tap0" route in the main routing table, and will select the tap0 IP as the source address, which is obviously wrong since we want to get routed through the eth0 interface(with IP 192.168.1.2 for instance). This is fixed if we add the local 192.168.1.2 option in our vpn client configutaion file, so that OpenVPN binds to that address and selects it correctly as the source address.
That's it!
We send only vpn packets through the 192.168.1.1/eth0 route, and everything else, including all other connections to the VPN server, are sent over vpn.
This 'trick' is very useful when you want to be able to ssh to the VPN server, but you want to prohibit ssh from IPs outside the local network.

Autaugaville home owners can skip this tiresome task entirely by employing an expert cleaning service company that specializes in move out cleaning services. Move out cleaning is specifically created to have homes all set for those moving in to settle in as soon as possible. Having your home cleaned extensively before you move out refers common courtesy if nothing else, but in some cases it is a compulsory requirement, especially if you're a previous tenant.
That there are many factors why it is impending for Autaugaville occupants to work with an expert home cleaning provider when they are moving in or moving out. There is nothing easy about a move out. Many tasks require to be achieved given a brief duration of time. The scope of the cleaning requirements that have to be done can be overwhelming certainly, especially if the renter is strained with work and other commitments. Windows should be cleaned down, radiators have to be cleaned, tiles must be clean, and kitchen cupboards have to be emptied out. Existing furnishings need to be cleaned and carpets need to be extensively cleaned.
Planning for move out cleaning.
The contract signed by the homeowner and the renter typically includes a provision that obligates the latter to leave the home as they had found it-empty, beautiful, and undamaged. In addition, for occupants who have actually decided to move out, the property owner may include additional charges against deposit funds if certain areas are not cleaned out.
Cleaning is certainly not the priority for somebody who is faced with the formidable challenges of settling into a new location and starting a new life. There are many things that need to be accomplished in so little time, not the least which is finishing work and other requirements prior to the move. In order to satisfy their end of the contract, the more practical alternative for the occupant is to employ Autaugaville expert cleaning crew, rather than do the cleaning up themselves.
The primary benefit of working with Autaugaville expert cleaning company is that they can do the task more thoroughly and more efficiently. This depends upon the caliber of the cleaning crew, but nowadays it is simple to discover a service company that is guaranteed to do an outstanding task. A cleaning company can work miracles, and recover a location that has actually been lived in for rather a long time into an area that is virtually brand new. To prepared the place for its next occupant, an expert crew should eliminate grease, grime, cakes of dirt, and dust rounds from difficult to reach areas. They know how to carry out these jobs efficiently. An individual without sufficient experience in using cleaning equipment and cleaning solutions would not know exactly what kind of material to use to get rid of a particular type of stain.
When moving in, exactly what to anticipate
Moving into a new location in Autaugaville can be tiring. More than likely, the new arrivals do not know anyone in the area, and there is no one to offer an additional hand in preparing the location for the furniture and personal results of the tenant. Home owners or supervisors usually need the last owner to leave the properties in excellent condition, it is still important for the new owner to make certain that the area is certainly a wholesome, safe, and pleasant place to live in. Professional cleaning service companies provide not only end-of-tenancy cleaning services. They may likewise be hired to carry out a comprehensive cleaning and maintenance, check on the property, check the little details, and ensure that the new house is undoubtedly prepared for tenancy.
Your to-do list before moving out:
Before you leave your home, check for damaged items and ensure you change every one of them. In case you forget to change such items like lighting fixtures or missing out on screws, it is most likely that your homeowner would take a huge chunk off your initial deposit for these minor things.
If the house has wall to wall carpeting, you will certainly have to choose in between hiring an expert to clean it or resorting to cleaning it on your own. This choice would be simple if you take a look at the present condition of the carpeting and match it to the original state. Bringing it to the original condition need to be your aim when you make this choice.
You have to also examine the walls to see if there are spots on them. Walls with discolorations can be a big problem due to direct visibility. Make certain you eliminate wall-stains with a moderate hand to stay clear of eroding the paint due to the fact that if that occurs, you will lose a huge piece of your deposit funds.
After you have actually done all the cleaning, ensure that you inspect the ovens and refrigerators. The seals of the fridges need to be in proper condition, and the ovens need to be clean enough for use. When moving out in Autaugaville, these checks will increase the odds of getting the deposit amount in full.
Quick Tip for Autaugaville residentsThere are literally dozens of business that offer move out cleaning and steam carpeting cleaning throughout where you live, and selecting the ideal one will certainly imply a convenient, problem-free move-out experience and hundreds of dollars of savings. If you are on a tight schedule for moving out of your existing property, book as far in advance as possible.

where are the saved games for gothic 1?
i need to re-install it.
You can find them in Documents or My Documents in the folder labelled gothic3.
Woops. What Dimus said then.
G1 and G2 without mods writes saved games into the Saves sub-folder, for example: D:\Games\Gothic\Saves.
For a game with mods the sub-folder name for the saved games is formed from a Saves_ prefix and the name of the mod INI file. For example, if the Diccuric mod was installed, in the game folder there will be a D:\Games\Gothic\System\diccuric.ini file. Respectively, the sub-folder for the saved games of this mod will be D:\Games\Gothic\Saves_diccuric.
I can't find any INI files in the system folder, there is a saves folder but it is empty.
What i want to do is transfer the game and saves to a new computer, do you think if i just re-install gothic and copy across my Personal folders i will have the saved games?
If you have the same version of Gothic, then yes.
But if you're playing on a different version (eg previously 1.00, now 1.08k) the saves won't work due to changes in the data files and whatnot.
The English WoG is NOT dead, my friends!
[Bild: tOC_sig1.jpg]
@ ds5400:
I repeat for the last time: G1 and G2 don't save their games in a personal user profiles. Therefore, if you have an empty Saves folder, so you have nothing to transfer. Everything is clear now, Morra?

They aren't leaving the nest.
More than one-third of millennials still live with their parents, the highest share in their age group in at least 40 years, according to a Pew Research Center analysis released Thursday.
Last year, a record 21.6 million adults ages 18-31 lived in their parents' homes, Pew said. That's up from 18.5 million in 2007.
TOP TEN: The 10 fastest growing jobs in California
The reasons why millennials are living with their parents vary, Pew said. It's a combination of economic, educational and cultural factors.
But one striking detail shows that men are more likely than women to still be living with their parents, according to Thursday's analysis.
About 40% of millennial men are living at home, compared with 32% of women in the same age group.
Unsurprisingly, the recession played a large role in increasing this type of living arrangement. Unemployed millennials are more likely to live at home.
According to Pew, 63% of millenials held jobs in 2012 -- that's down from 70% for the 18-31 age group in 2007.
The report also showed that younger adults, age 18 to 24, were more likely to live at home than those 25 to 31. The data show that 56% of the younger subset lived at home versus 25% of the older group.
Educational attainment levels also played a role in whether a millennial lived at home, Pew said. Only 18% of those with a four-year degree lived at home compared with 40% of those who only had a high school education.

Cable-news coverage of the Republican National Convention has been … well, can we just leave it at that? It has been. It has existed and will continue to, with networks playing to old strengths, tripping over new weaknesses, and indulging signature quirks, all while faithfully recording the silly hats worn in the audience.
CNN effectively kicked off its coverage with the Sunday-night broadcast of Romney Revealed: Family, Faith, and the Road to Power, a 90-minute documentary fronted by Gloria Borger. If you approached the special hoping for a crisp personality profile, you were well rewarded, but if you were expecting Romney Revealed to reveal Romney, then you were a sucker. Striving to be anodyne, Borger, the network's chief political analyst, strenuously avoided analysis.
What we learned about Romney's tenure as the governor of Massachusetts is that, midway through his term, he decided that he needed to accomplish something significant and proposed a health care-reform plan. If you wanted to know anything about that plan, in terms of policy or politics, you were out of luck. Or look at it this way: The documentary touted its unprecedented access to Beth Myers, Gov. Romney's chief of staff, and what we learned from her was that she and Romney talked very often.
There was some definite human interest in Borger's interview with Ann Romney, who "opened up" about her health problems. And then there was some vague inhumanity in the way that, after re-airing the documentary on Monday, CNN set its personalities chatting about the value of Ann's illness as a political asset, as if multiple sclerosis were a telegenic running mate.
This set a certain tone on CNN, where panelists have been panelizing up in a skybox at the arena while, elsewhere in the Tampa Bay Times Forum, Wolf Blitzer has been urgently co-anchoring CNN's coverage with Erin Burnett, who seems slightly drowsy. Who could blame her? Wolf interviewed the five Romney sons on Tuesday night. His takeaway: "I think they really love their mom and dad." What a scoop it would have been had he determined otherwise! Erin, I learned that Tagg's still pissed about being grounded for breaking curfew during Reagan's second term.
Rachel Maddow has been anchoring MSNBC's coverage from New York, in front of a green-screen image of the convention floor, turning to journalists on the ground for eyewitness report and to Chris Matthews, stationed outside the arena in sherberty neckties, for a peculiar cocktail of sharp commentary and blunt bluster. MSNBC has been the best place for a long view of proceedings, with Chris Hayes noting the running theme of nostalgia in the floor speeches, their misty evocation of an Arcadian past that we might yet roll back to, if we work hard and play by the rules.
On the other end of spectrum, there was Fox. On Wednesday, Fox News—which was giving more thorough coverage of the storm in New Orleans than its rivals—was presenting a convention-ized version of its regular schedule, with Bill O'Reilly bloviating at 8, Hannity leading the braying at 9, and a panel gathering at the end of the evening. Same old, same old; the real action was on Fox Business, where a jolly Neil Cavuto was interviewing guests at an outpost located immediately behind the Texas delegation, the cowboy hats of which added to the festive vibe. Cavuto bantered with Herman Cain, asking if he'd like to be commerce secretary. "We've never had one from the fast-food sector," Cavuto remarked. Cain rejected the idea. Cavuto pressed him further. Cain re-rejected the idea, scarcely concerning himself with the if-called-to-serve-my-country routine. Oddly, Cavuto all but rubbed salt into the wounds of Rick Santorum, repeatedly asking what it felt like not to have won the nomination: "You gotta tell me, Senator: Do you feel a little weird?" Doesn't he always?
Current TV has been promoting its coverage as "the collision of TV and social media." Indeed, it seemed last night as if the broadcast had been nastily sideswiped by a Mac truck of Web 2.0 hucksterism. The faces at the podium and in the studio were lost in digital clutter, with half of the screen given over to a scroll of Twitter messages. For instance, when Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio took to the stage, we saw messages such as "@RepublicanGOP: Welcome to Sen. Rob Portman of OH." This was generally unenlightening—anti-enlightening, really—but there were highlights, as when Tim Pawlenty took to the stage and various tweets likened his presence to prescription sedatives. Current bailed on the soporific Minnesotan quickly, returning to New York so that its anchors and analysts could share a few hearty groans.
Obviously, the only place to get a truly objective look at the proceeding was C-SPAN, which never blinks, inviting you to absorb all the details in their numbing tedium and riveting weirdness. C-SPAN is the unofficial home of the jarring juxtaposition, the channel where a speech by Mitch McConnell, dry and bankerly, gave way not to commentary or a commercial break but to the in-house entertainment: a hard-rocking vocal performance by someone boasting a Sammy Hagar corona of hair and a Rod Stewart fit of trousers. The singer ran to and fro, gyrating gently as the guitars crunched and delegates weavingly waved their Romney/Ryan placards before them, tapping their loafers in time with the beat.

A winner was selected from 128 designs submitted by 49 freelance designers.
Need a logo for an innovative start-up that takes massive datasets (we're talking billions of records and terabytes of data) like the human genome, or logs of all the ads served on myspace in a month and crunches them down so that interesting analytics can be performed in lightening speed.
BigEye Analytics
This is the corporate logo to be used on the website, business cards, and all marketing collateral. Our product is almost ready to go and we are about to launch our start-up to the world.
Our company philosophy is about turning raw data into useful information so that researchers can make breakthroughs and businesses can make solid decisions. The name BigEye comes from the fact that our technology improves speed and performance on the largest datasets around (Big Data) and from our founder's passion for deep sea tuna fishing (Big Eye Tuna).
Even though we are a start-up, our team has worked together at other companies for many years and we are like a big dysFUNctional family.
We would like the logo to incorporate this fun, light hearted attitude. But at the same time represent a new cutting edge technology.
- Icon that plays off the fish theme- BigEye is one word, with B and E capitalized- Fresh, clean color scheme- Treatments with and without "Analytics" in the name

They say art imitates life, but it's surprising how often the same can be said of the Linux blogs.
Case in point: Just as the world at large is filled today with fiery strife -- Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, Ferguson -- so, too, is the Linux blogosphere. Of course, it's not political, social or racial struggles tearing the FOSS community apart. Rather, the dividing issue here is none other than Systemd.
Systemd is a topic that's been discussed in heated terms many times before, of course -- including a lively debate here in the Linux Blog Safari back in May.
This time, it was a post on the Linux kernel mailing list that set it ablaze.
"Systemd is a trojan," developer Christopher Barry recently wrote in "An Open Letter to the Linux World."
"We all need to collectively expel it from our midst because it will own Linux, and by extension us and our freedoms," he argued. "Systemd will *be* Linux. Sit idly by and ignore this fact at all of our collective peril."
'Harbinger of the Linux Apocalypse'
It was a call to arms -- of that there was no doubt -- and Linux bloggers have been firing full bore ever since:
- "Systemd: Harbinger of the Linux apocalypse"
- "Choose your side on the Linux divide"
- "Linux and Systemd: A case of the old versus the young?"
Those are just a few of the headlines that added fuel to the fire, which soon was raging out of control on Slashdot, as well as on LXer and beyond.
Linux Girl donned her toughest flame-retardant gear and set out to learn more.
'I Don't Like Feeling Stuck'
"The theory behind Systemd sounds OK, but I just don't like how it's been implemented," offered Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone on the smoky streets of the blogosphere's main downtown. "It seems to violate just about everything about the *nix philosophy."
Stone uses an older Ubuntu distro, so he doesn't have Systemd on his own computer, he told Linux Girl, "but it's really just luck that Canonical has held out as long as it has. Now even they're going to be moving to Systemd.
"I'm starting to feel like I'm stuck with it, and I don't like feeling stuck when I'm using Linux," he concluded. "If I wanted to be stuck with software I don't want, I'd use Windows."
'Not a Fond Memory at All'
Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien had a similar view.
"I am extremely skeptical about the value of Systemd for two reasons," O'Brien began.
"First of all, it does seem to violate the basic rules of Unix systems," he explained. "I really like the idea of text file configurations, of simple tools that do one thing well and can be combined. And binary blobs? Seriously?"
The other reason is that "I have approximately zero confidence in anything Lennart Poettering does, an opinion I first formed in my many struggles with PulseAudio," O'Brien said. "For at least two years I could not get sound working on any machine without first ripping out every trace of PulseAudio, and this is not a fond memory at all."
'More Than a Little Repugnant'
Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza is "a proponent of the simpler-is-better approach to Unix-like operating systems," he told Linux Girl. "I find Systemd to be more than a little repugnant."
It would be nice to see fewer distributions making it mandatory, "but I anticipate that there will always be at least one Linux distribution which uses simple sysvinit or similar, so I don't see any reason that I should panic," he said.
"I have long desired a simplified Linux-based operating system which does not care about LSB or POSIX, or indeed any legacy cruft whatsoever, but I don't actually want to make my Linux distribution into that," Espinoza added. "I want to use it near a traditional Linux desktop, not as a replacement for it.
"Android is what comes closest so far, but I didn't really plan to be running anything other than native executables, at least not a majority of the time," he said.
'It Offers Very Little in Return'
"I am sure I will be neither the first nor the last to quote Harry Spencer on this matter: 'Those who do not understand UNIX are destined to reinvent it poorly,'" began Chris Travers, a blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project. "There is a reason this comes up in the debate all the time."
Travers has worked with Systemd, he told Linux Girl, and while "I find it to have a number of nice features, ultimately it throws away everything that worked and offers very little in return."
The init system was "really nice because it was transparent," he added. "If I need to load a new service at boot time, the knowledge I need to have is significant, it is true, but when something goes wrong, I do not need additional knowledge to troubleshoot."
'The Ideal Is Being Lost'
With Systemd, on the other hand, "when something goes wrong, it is far harder to troubleshoot," he asserted.
"The ideal of Unix being small pieces loosely woven is being lost here," Travers opined. "The resulting system makes most of the same mistakes but strips out the key features which have proven so useful in the past."
Meanwhile, "I think those who see this as a conflict between the older guard and the new guard have a point," he added. "I came to Linux in 1999 and only had minimal experience with Unix before that. However, at that time, things were still transparent and very Unixy.
"I can't help but think folks are trying to turn Linux into something far less Unixy -- something like OS X or even Windows," Travers concluded.
'Folks Realize What's at Stake'
"Should a large part of my distribution be such a large monolith? Can an almost omnipotent initialization system be said to be better than the modular traditional way?" mused Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C.
"I suspect not," he said.
"I suspect Systemd will end up a lot like Devfs, where it ends up adopted, is discovered to be better than what was before it, but is ultimately replaced by something that more effectively does the job (udev)," suggested consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack.
Indeed, "options are popping up, since now folks realize what's at stake," noted Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol. "Let's hope GNU/Linux continues to be free for all, with options to use, even in init systems, and not a dictatorship by a small group."
'I'm Tired of Constantly Updating'
Last but not least, "I know developers like to develop, but they should have mercy on the rest of us and not impose change until their new stuff is debugged," blogger Robert Pogson told Linux Girl. "I've been amazed that Debian Jessie has been going sideways rather than downward in bug count -- I suspect a lot of that has to do with introducing Systemd.
"Are we going to have to wait for Systemd to work before Debian can make another release?" he wondered. "I'm getting tired of constantly updating my software. I might go back to Wheezy."
Pogson is in favor of improvement, he said, "but I don't see any with Systemd. Sys V Init was simple and transparent. It did everything I needed.
"I know Systemd might be a few seconds faster booting, but do I care? My system never boots except to install a new kernel," he pointed out. "I routinely suspend to RAM."
'Leave the Rest of Us Alone'
On the other hand, "there are lots of new applications and new features coming into Debian Jessie, and I don't want to wait for the modifications required by Systemd to work before I can use it all," he added.
In short, "I don't have any idea what's happening here," Pogson concluded. "I use GNU/Linux rather than fight over its details. I wish those who feel they must fight over this would get on with it and leave the rest of us alone. We need all the best minds and most productive programmers working together, not against each other."

A data race is when multiple threads concurrently access the same memory location where at least one access is a write. "Concurrently" here could mean either literally at the same time (threads run on different CPUs) or abstractly at the same time (threads interleave with each other on the same CPU); i.e., no synchronisation primitive enforces that one thread's access completes before the other begins.
|Thread 1
|Thread 2
|if (p != NULL)
|p = NULL;
Data race detectors, such as Eraser and Helgrind, analyse threads' mutual-exclusion and happens-before relationships to identify unsafe concurrent accesses like these. But it's possible to stop accesses from being concurrent without enforcing correct behaviour:
|Thread 1
|Thread 2
|bool ok = p != NULL;
|p = NULL;
|if (ok) output(p->data);
Now the data race is gone, but the bug has simply become a higher-level race condition. Most literature calls this an "atomicity violation" (and some literature even uses "race" to mean exclusively data races).
You might think this code looks silly, but if you're working in a project with many layers of abstraction and function/module boundaries, this kind of mistake can be all too easy to make, and data race detectors are powerless to find them.
Consider this real-world example. When I started at Mozilla this summer, Rust 0.2 had recently shipped, and its release notes mentioned that it was "Helgrind-clean" (meaning no data races existed). Yet the Rust runtime contained this code:
bool rust_task::blocked() {
bool is_blocked = this->state == task_state_blocked;
return is_blocked;
Sure, accessing the field was safely protected by the mutex, but once it dropped the lock and returned, all bets were off as to whether the returned value was still accurate or not. (I fixed several bugs related to this, and removed this function entirely.)
In a similar vein, Rust's type system guarantees that concurrent tasks cannot share state but instead must use message-passing to communicate, which precludes the possibility of data races completely by enforcing happens-before relationships on all data accesses (or in the case of this post, by enforcing mutual-exclusion relationships). Yet it's still possible to write nondeterministic programs in Rust (using select2, failure propagation, etc), and so race conditions are still possible.
The moral of this story is that data races are only one of many types of races, and though many tools exist for finding them, just because one guarantees absence of data races does not mean your code is completely concurrency-safe. Not to say these tools aren't useful, but they often fail where more sophisticated race-finding techniques could succeed, and even still, no automated race-finding tool can substitute for a careful human brain when reasoning about concurrency.

Six Common Myths of Federal Job Hunting
Most federal job seekers spend a majority of their time hunting for positions online, using websites such as USAJOBS.
Shannon Kelly & Dan DeMaio | Monster.com
Myth 2: "I Can Breeze Through These Screening Questions"
The federal government's hiring process is highly regulated in order to ensure both of the following: that ineligible candidates are disqualified before advancing to the next stage of the application process, and that all hiring processes are conducted fairly.
Learn more about basic eligibility requirements for federal jobs.
When you apply for a job, you should expect the agency will ask you to answer some hard essay questions in your application. How you respond will significantly impact your candidacy. Pay attention to the who may apply section of a job listing you are considering (pictured below):
<img src= "http://govcentral.monster.com/nfs/govcentral/photos/0001/7621/who_apply.jpg">
Remember: Your responses should be concrete and tailored to the announcement's wording. Federal agencies often evaluate a candidate's relevant experience based specifically on matching keywords in the job announcement to keywords in the candidate's resume and essay. For example, don't assume they will deduce you have experience answering phones by simply saying you worked in customer service; explicitly state that you have answered phones in your past positions.

I got this from cuttings I found whilst cycling around Bradenton.
Fortunatly it grew easily. It also captures air gun pellets from the neigbours kids.
Cactus are still doing quite well. I have planted a few of them in the front garden area.
All the cactus seems to be doing really well. In August 2011 I found two sets of cuttings that are in the small buckets. Theres also a bit of cactus at the base of the urn which somehow got out.
As of August 2011 which is nearly a year since I got it its really established itself as you should see from the photos.

2013 Super Truck ChallengePosted in Events on December 23, 2013
An off-road enthusiast's playground is located at the Crandon International Raceway. This past July, the raceway hosted the Inaugural Super Truck Challenge. It's a two-day event jam-packed with something for everybody. Vehicles from fullsize trucks, Jeeps, buggies, drag cars, and even a Pro4 truck entertained the crowd on rocks, mud, trails, dragstrip and at the show-n-shine. Carnage was in full effect while these enthusiasts pushed their vehicles to the limits. After the sun went down, a local rock band blew out eardrums playing cover songs that kept everybody thirsty for frosty beverages at the Raceway's bar. The gold sponsor of Super Truck Challenge was Mole Lake Casino, so there were big payouts to all podium participants with an overall event purse exceeding $39,000.
This event hosts a number of competitions for every motorhead that likes four wheels. Classes of drag cars/trucks were running in excess of triple digits in only 180 feet of groomed track. The new rock course is challenging and fun with a sportsmen level and pro side.
Mud drags were split into sides with what we call deep and then super deep. Both sides did an excellent job at stopping trucks of all sizes. They left some of the recovery personnel chest deep requiring their own assets to extract them out of the oh-s#!t situations.
The Tuff Truck competition was our favorite since it brought in several go-fast vehicles with light and serious suspensions. This event is the easiest way to get into side-by-side heads-up off-road racing. We had the honor of riding along with Crandon local and second-generation raceway member Jay Schaeffer in his fullsize Chevy. He races in the sportsman class for the famous Crandon Brush Runs that are held in June and Labor Day weekend. We placed second on the podium next to Milan's Pro4 truck.
A world-class RC racetrack was open and in use every day for radio control enthusiasts that wanted to play on a smaller level. Also new to the Raceway was the pay-to-play area, which had virgin trails running throughout the property. You're able to practice and master lines on the entire obstacle course when the events aren't being held. It is encouraged to roam off into the mud pits and watering holes, taking your vehicle to the limit and trying to stay above water. After being a part of this fun, we recommend multiple changes of clothes and swimming attire, especially after seeing some of these bottomless pits swallow trucks with 35-inch tires. We recommend airtight intakes with a snorkel and recovery assets nearby.
For sleeping accommodations, the raceway allows all classes of motorhomes and tent camping. Hot showers and food are available on-site. With its location tucked away in northern Wisconsin, this place should be a must-see for every enthusiast.

Heritage on billboards II
Now, there's four new ones. Click to enlarge the thumbnails.
6 comments:
Great images :)ReplyDelete
AHHHH Lucy Cranwell :-) Did you see our wee exhibition on her when you came to the museum? My partners dad knew her well ;-)ReplyDelete
Very cool pics!
I love the Tom Skeates one about Monarch Butterflies. It's great when councils make an effort to do something like this. They don't do enough of it! They generally still don't think history is a priority, until it is lost that is...then although there are regrets, it's conveniently too late to do anything about it.ReplyDelete
The late Waitakere City (now part of Auckland Council) did take heritage very seriously, and actively promoted it as part of their city's sense of place. Auckland City weren't all that slow in the heritage appreciation game, either -- though preserving buildings and sites is always problematic, when private property rights come into it. But Henderson's billboards were a brilliant idea.ReplyDelete
Are these billboards still in place? Would love to see the Tom Skeates one.ReplyDelete
Hi Jacqui,ReplyDelete
Apparently, the billboards are still up (I don't know if they've changed them or not, though). I've just called Auckland Council, and a helpful staffer at the Henderson office said she can see them from her office window.

Edwidge Danticat: The Art of Death
Writers are told to "write what you know," yet death is ultimately unknowable. We can witness the moment right before, but the next reality remains elusive and writers unavoidably focus on life. Two-time National Book Award finalist Edwidge Danticat comes to CHF to discuss her astute and intimate The Art of Death, a personal account of her mother's death from cancer and a deeply considered reckoning of how other writers, from Toni Morrison to C.S. Lewis, have approached death in their own work. Tracie Hall Director of Culture Program at the Joyce Foundation, joins Danticat for this profound and moving discussion.

Andrew Keen: "How to Fix the Future" | Talks at Google
Andrew Keen was among the earliest to write about the dangers of the Internet to our culture and society and he joins us to discuss his new book, How to Fix the Future.
After the huge changes of the Industrial Revolution, civilised societies remade 19th century capitalism into a more humane version of itself - and Andrew shows how we can do the same in the wake of the Digital Revolution.
He identifies five broad strategies to tackle the digital future and travels the world to find best (and worst!) practices in each area. In doing he so, he aims to provide hope that the economic inequality, unemployment, cultural decay, war on privacy and individual alienation caused by the digital upheaval may still be solvable so that we can look forward to the future.
Moderated by Peter Barron.
Meet the Author: Clemantine Wamariya (THE GIRL WHO SMILED BEADS)
Clemantine Wamariya discusses her new memoir and how it's affected her life, her work, and the writing she creates.
About THE GIRL WHO SMILED BEADS
Clemantine Wamariya was six years old when her mother and father began to speak in whispers, when neighbors began to disappear, and when she heard the loud, ugly sounds her brother said were thunder. In 1994, she and her fifteen-year-old sister, Claire, fled the Rwandan massacre and spent the next six years migrating through seven African countries, searching for safety—perpetually hungry, imprisoned and abused, enduring and escaping refugee camps, finding unexpected kindness, witnessing inhuman cruelty. They did not know whether their parents were dead or alive.
When Clemantine was twelve, she and her sister were granted refugee status in the United States; there, in Chicago, their lives diverged. Though their bond remained unbreakable, Claire, who had for so long protected and provided for Clemantine, was a single mother struggling to make ends meet, while Clemantine was taken in by a family who raised her as their own. She seemed to live the American dream: attending private school, taking up cheerleading, and, ultimately, graduating from Yale. Yet the years of being treated as less than human, of going hungry and seeing death, could not be erased. She felt at the same time six years old and one hundred years old.
In The Girl Who Smiled Beads, Clemantine provokes us to look beyond the label of "victim" and recognize the power of the imagination to transcend even the most profound injuries and aftershocks. Devastating yet beautiful, and bracingly original, it is a powerful testament to her commitment to constructing a life on her own terms.

Alexander Chee | How to Write an Autobiographical Novel
"How to Write an Autobiographical Novel" explores Alexander Chee's life as a man, a writer, and an activist. Collectively, the essays form Chee's manifesto on how we form our identities in the creative world, mixing life, literature, and politics to reveal how the lessons he learned from reading and writing have shaped who he is. In these essays he morphs from a student to a teacher, reader to writer, and considers his identities as a son, a gay man, a Korean-American, an artist, an activist, a lover, and a friend. He recalls formative experiences of his life and the country's history, including his father's death, the AIDS crisis, 9/11, writing his first novel, and the election of Donald Trump.
Alexander Chee is the author of the national best-seller "The Queen of the Night."
Joseph Osmundson is a scientist and writer with bylines at the Village Voice, Los Angeles Review of Books, author of "Capsid: A Love Song" and "INSIDE/OUT," and cohost of the Food 4 Thot podcast.
Clifford Johnson: "The Dialogues"
Science should be on our daily conversation menu, along with topics like politics, books, sports, or the latest prestige cable drama, according to Clifford Johnson, a theoretical physicist and professor at the University of Southern California's Department of Physics and Astronomy
Johnson discusses his new book "The Dialogues: Conversations About the Nature of the Universe", in which he invites us to eavesdrop on a series of nine conversations, in graphic-novel form, about "the nature of the universe". The topics range from the science of cooking to the multiverse and string theory. The graphic form is especially suited for physics: one drawing can show what it would take many words to explain.
Robin Coste Lewis and Evie Shockley at the 2018 L.A. Times Festival of Books
Robin Coste Lewis discusses Voyage of the Sable Venus, and Evie Shockley discusses semiautomatic at the 2018 L.A. Times Festival of Music.
FROM THE PUBLISHER (Voyage of the Sable Venus):
Robin Coste Lewis's electrifying collection is a triptych that begins and ends with lyric poems meditating on the roles that desire and race play in the construction of the self. In the center of the collection is the title poem, "Voyage of the Sable Venus," an amazing narrative made up entirely of titles of artworks from ancient times to the present—titles that feature or in some way comment on the black female figure in Western art.
Bracketed by Lewis's own autobiographical poems, Voyage is a tender and shocking meditation on the fragmentary mysteries of stereotype, juxtaposing our names for things with what we actually see and know. A new understanding of biography and the self, this collection questions just where, historically, do ideas about the black female figure truly begin—five hundred years ago, five thousand, or even longer? And what role did art play in this ancient, often heinous story?
Here we meet a poet who adores her culture and the beauty to be found within it. Yet she is also a cultural critic alert to the nuances of race and desire—how they define us all, including her own sometimes painful history. Lewis's book is a thrilling aesthetic anthem to the complexity of race—a full embrace of its pleasure and horror, in equal parts.
FROM THE PUBLISHER (semiautomatic):
Art can't shield our bodies or stabilize the earth's climate, but Evie Shockley's semiautomatic insists that it can feed the spirit and reawaken the imagination. The volume responds primarily to the twenty-first century's inescapable evidence of the terms of black life—not so much new as newly visible. The poems trace a whole web of connections between the kinds of violence that affect people across the racial, ethnic, gender, class, sexual, national, and linguistic boundaries that do and do not divide us. How do we protect our humanity, our ability to feel deeply and think freely, in the face of a seemingly endless onslaught of physical, social, and environmental abuses? Where do we find language to describe, process, and check the attacks and injuries we see and suffer? What actions can break us out of the soul-numbing cycle of emotions, moving through outrage, mourning, and despair, again and again? In poems that span fragment to narrative and quiz to constraint, from procedure to prose and sequence to song, semiautomatic culls past and present for guides to a hoped-for future.

Michelle Dean on Sharp: The Women Who Made an Art of Having an Opinion
Michelle Dean discusses Sharp: The Women Who Made an Art of Having an Opinion with co-host Jeffrey Brown at the 2018 L.A. Times Festival of Books.
The ten brilliant women who are the focus of Sharp came from different backgrounds and had vastly divergent political and artistic opinions. But they all made a significant contribution to the cultural and intellectual history of America and ultimately changed the course of the twentieth century, in spite of the men who often undervalued or dismissed their work.
These ten women—Dorothy Parker, Rebecca West, Hannah Arendt, Mary McCarthy, Susan Sontag, Pauline Kael, Joan Didion, Nora Ephron, Renata Adler, and Janet Malcolm—are united by what Dean calls "sharpness," the ability to cut to the quick with precision of thought and wit. Sharp is a vibrant depiction of the intellectual beau monde of twentieth-century New York, where gossip-filled parties at night gave out to literary slugging-matches in the pages of the Partisan Review or the New York Review of Books. It is also a passionate portrayal of how these women asserted themselves through their writing in a climate where women were treated with extreme condescension by the male-dominated cultural establishment.
Mixing biography, literary criticism, and cultural history, Sharpis a celebration of this group of extraordinary women, an engaging introduction to their works, and a testament to how anyone who feels powerless can claim the mantle of writer, and, perhaps, change the world.
Viet Thanh Nguyen on The Displaced at the 2018 L.A. Times Festival of Books
Viet Thanh Nguyen discusses The Displaced: Refugee Writers on Refuge Lives at the 2018 L.A. Times Festival of Books.
In January 2017, Donald Trump signed an executive order stopping entry to the United States from seven predominantly Muslim countries and dramatically cutting the number of refugees allowed to resettle in the United States each year. The American people spoke up, with protests, marches, donations, and lawsuits that quickly overturned the order. But the refugee caps remained.
In The Displaced, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Viet Thanh Nguyen, himself a refugee, brings together a host of prominent refugee writers to explore and illuminate the refugee experience. Featuring original essays by a collection of writers from around the world, The Displaced is an indictment of closing our doors, and a powerful look at what it means to be forced to leave home and find a place of refuge.
