Those Intolerant Conservative Religious Types…
I work in the digital art industry, so I am often the lone conservative in a sea of born-and-bred liberals. It works out all right, so long as we avoid the topic of politics, which is totally fine with most people. Once, a couple of years ago, I was working in my animator pit, buried deep in the bowels of the building, when I was paged to come to the front lobby. There, I found a small gaggle of co-workers (women, not that it matters) pointing past the plate glass windows to where my car was parked. A gathering of service employees were leaning on my car, waiting for the bus, yucking it up with each other. They were all black. This, it seemed, required my immediate intervention, thus my summons to the front desk. Obviously, some sort of chicanery was afoot, and I was expected to go and shoo them all away.
My car, it should be noted, was (and still is) a late nineties Ford Taurus P.O.S. I wasn't worried about anything happening to it. I didn't mind at all that the group had chosen to recline against it. If anything, it was possible that the car would end up cleaner for all that rubbing. I said as much to my collected co-workers. They were insistent, however, that this malicious and potentially volatile loitering needed to be put a stop to. When I made to return to the animator pit, one of my co-workers took matters into her own hands, stepping out the front door to shoo the gathering away. Needless to say, this turned a mild gathering into an understandably disgruntled and annoyed mini-mob. I didn't blame them. I considered poking my head out and telling them that I was the owner of the car and didn't mind at all if they leaned on it– they could sit in it if they wanted and turn on the friggin' radio– but by that point it didn't seem like it would help. Sometimes being a six-foot-four white dude just doesn't help.
And I remember thinking, as I headed back to the gloom of the animator pit, isn't it supposed to be us conservative religious types who always assume black folk are up to no good?
Fast forward to last week. My wife and I made the acquaintance of a young woman in our social network– I'll call her June. June was very likable and friendly, and we quickly fell into conversation about some upcoming life events. My wife mentioned that she was soon to leave on a humanitarian trip to Haiti, prompting June to mention that her boyfriend was currently in the Gaza Strip. We were curious and interested, of course, so we asked why he was there. June proudly described her boyfriend's work there. "He's helping build homes for the Palestinians," she said, and then blithely added, "you know, the good side."
It wasn't so much that we disagreed with such a bald, us-and-them statement. It was the utter surety that June exuded– the absolute confidence that, since we are apparently decent, intelligent people, we obviously agree with all of her politics.
And I thought, isn't it supposed to be us conservative religious types who see the world through the lens of strictly black-and-white, good-and-evil judgments?
Furthermore, isn't it us monolithic, narrow minded conservatives who assume that every right-thinking and decent person agrees with us by rote?
A few days ago I read an article in the New York Times about the recent death of evangelical scholar John Stott, who spent his life promoting the idea (and it is far more common than most non-religious people might believe) that a Christian's duty is to serve the world's needs, both in small ways and large, as practically as possible. I have been affiliated with a lot of churches over the years, both professionally and socially, and in every instance those churches have had budgets set aside to help the poor in their communities. They provide clothes and food, they support feeding efforts in starving countries, they even use their own funds to send people to work in the neediest places in the world. By any measure, religious people are the most charitable of any demographic.
And I ask myself, isn't it supposed to be the secular liberals who are the most socially conscious and aid-minded? I thought conservative religious types just wanted to beat people with Bibles and enforce their own morality on everyone?
In fact, when I look around at the world lately, enforcing morality seems, ironically, to be the nearly exclusive domain of the left. They want to make sure that no one can smoke virtually anywhere. They insist that laws must be passed assuring people can't eat certain foods. They make supposedly funny climate-change medias that celebrate how much fun it would be literally explode those who disagree with them. They nearly always assume that everyone agrees with them. They seamlessly mock as stupid anyone who publicly expresses an alternate opinion, all while purporting to champion diversity. It would be funny if it wasn't so depressing.
But I don't mean to imply that the stereotype of the typically intolerant, judgmental ideologue is not true of some conservative Christians. I know some people like that. What I AM implying (pretty heavily, if you haven't noticed) is that the left is just as prone to exhibit those traits as the right. In fact, I would suggest that the left is rather more prone to intolerance, arrogance, and their own peculiar brand of fundamentalism than the average conservative. Why? Because they do not have to actively work against the constant negative stereotype. For the moment, Liberals are allowed to occupy the moral high-ground by pure fiat. They are so secure in their vaunted moral and intellectual superiority that they feel safe indulging in the more petty idiosyncrasies of human nature. Conservatives, on the other hand, have the constant pressure of proving that they are not what the New York liberal cocktail party crowd says they are. Some of them perhaps go a little too far, trying to placate a liberal politburo that will always despise them no matter what, but that merely proves my overall point.
This societal pressure is a good thing, perhaps. It drives the pendulum of human nature, which is always swinging back and forth between sociological extremes. It is not so much something to be railed against but accepted and watched.
The bottom line is that the base aspects of human nature– bigotry, tyranny, arrogance– are present in every faction and tier of society. At any given time, it may reside more confidently in one group than another, but it is the sole domain of none.
I would merely suggest, as politely as possible, that my more liberal-minded friends consider how they themselves might come across before glomming onto the knee-jerk notion that only conservative religious types can be social pariahs. If history has any say in the matter, your day is probably coming. The time to start pushing back is now. Fair enough?
Because someday, figuratively, it might be you leaning on the car.

So what you're saying is, liberals are selfish bigots who don't own cars because they don't believe in God?

Man Utd abandon Rose move
Manchester United are no longer interested in signing Tottenham and England left-back Danny Rose, according to The Mirror.
The report claims United boss Jose Mourinho has told executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward he is happy with his current options and that signing Rose, 27, is no longer a priority.
United currently have Ashley Young and Luke Shaw as options at left-back, alongside new summer recruit Diogo Dalot from Porto.
AC Milan want Donnarumma-Morata swap
AC Milan have offered Gianluigi Donnarumma to Chelsea in exchange for Alvaro Morata, claims Corriere dello Sport.
The 19-year-old goalkeeper is expected to leave the San Siro outfit this summer but with an asking price of around €70 million (£60m/$82m), no offers have come in for him.
With Chelsea in danger of losing Thibaut Courtois, Milan are hoping they can swoop in and bolster their attack while offloading their wantaway player by organising a swap.
Arsenal set to land £26m Torreira
Arsenal are on the verge of signing Lucas Torreira from Sampdoria for £26.4 million (€30m/$35m), according to The Guardian.
Goal reported on Tuesday that Arsenal were in talks with the Italian side over the defensive midfielder after seeing Yacine Adli reject their offer and sign a new deal at Paris Saint-Germain.
And the Gunners have now exceeded Torreira's release clause in order to beat Napoli to the signing and will complete the deal imminently.
Chelsea in talks to sign Atletico's Savic
Chelsea are in talks to sign Atletico Madrid defender Stefan Savic, according to Sky Italy.
Savic, formerly of Manchester City, has spent three seasons at Atletico following a move from Fiorentina in 2015.
Chelsea are reportedly keen to land the 27-year-old, though the Blues face stiff competition from Serie A champions Juventus.
Serie A trio chasing Tottenham's Dembele
Tottenham and Belgium ace Mousa Dembele is attracting interest from a trio of Serie A clubs, report Sky Sports.
Dembele, 30, has been a key figure in a Spurs side which has finished inside the top three in each of the past three Premier League seasons.
However, with his contract due to expire in June 2019, Juventus, Napoli and Inter Milan are all interested in landing Dembele.
Real Madrid agree €45m Rodrygo deal
Real Madrid are set to sign Brazilian teenager Rodrygo from Santos for €45 million (£40m/$53m), AS reports.
The 17-year-old will spend another year in his homeland before making the switch to Spain after the two sides agreed a fee.
Santos will receive 80% of the fee, with Madrid purchasing the remainder of the rights from the player himself.
Atletico & Monaco reach Lemar agreement
Monaco and Atletico Madrid have reached an initial agreement that will see Thomas Lemar join the Spanish side.
The France international attracted interest from Liverpool and Arsenal, but it is Diego Simeone's side who win out and will look to complete his signing this week.
Read the full story
Alderweireld open to Tottenham stay
Toby Alderweireld is open to staying at Tottenham beyond the summer transfer window.
The Belgium international defender had been linked with a move to Manchester United, but Spurs are said to value him at around £50 million (€57m/$67m).
"Yeah, why not?' the former Ajax player told reporters when asked if he could stay. "I have two years left on my contract. I don't know what's going to happen. The national team is the most important thing now."

Fulham pushing to sign Ayew
Fulham are in talks to sign Swansea City forward Jordan Ayew, according to Sky Sports.
The report claims newly-promoted Fulham have tabled an £8 million offer for Ayew, who was Swansea's top scorer last season with 11 goals in all competitions.
Swansea were relegated from the top flight last season and a number of their key players such as Alfie Mawson and Lukasz Fabianski – alongside Ayew – are attracting interest as a result.
Burnley eye West Brom duo
Burnley have made a £25 million (€28m/$33m) offer for West Brom pair Craig Dawson and Jay Rodriguez, according to The Mirror .
After finishing seventh in the Premier League, Burnley are hoping to capitalise on West Brom's relegation by snapping up their star players this summer.
Lampard to swoop in on Chelsea defender
Frank Lampard hopes to convince Chelsea youngster Jay Dasilva to join Derby County, The Mirror says.
Derby are one of many sides chasing the defender after he impressed at Charlton on loan, and hope new coach Lampard is a big enough draw to land him.
Lopetegui named new Real Madrid boss
Spain boss Julen Lopetegui has been appointed Real Madrid's new head coach.
The 51-year-old signed a two-year contract extension with the national team last month but has since agreed to replace Zinedine Zidane after the World Cup.
Read the story with Goal
Griezmann has decided on future
Antoine Griezmann has made a decision on where he will play next season but will not reveal it until after the World Cup.
Barcelona have been leading the chase for the 27-year-old and could be set to snap him up from Atletico Madrid, as national team boss Didier Deschamps revealed the striker is staying in Spain .
Read the full story
Sterling & Man City fail to agree deal
Manchester City and Raheem Sterling are 'poles apart' on agreeing a new contract, according to Sky Sports .
The Premier League champions have agreed long-term contracts with several of their key players in recent months and are keen to secure Sterling on a fresh deal.
However, Sterling's representatives have been unable to agree a deal regarding the England international's wages and no further talks are currently planned regarding the forward's future.
Liverpool unlikely to meet Alisson price
Liverpool are unlikely to meet Roma's £80 million ($107m) asking price for goalkeeper Alisson, reports Sky Sports .
Instead, the Brazil international is much more likely to land at Real Madrid, though the Champions League winners are also interested in Thibaut Courtois.
If Courtois does make the move to the Spanish capital, then Chelsea would go in for Alisson.

Martin Wheatley, managing director of the FSA and head of an independent review into LIBOR set up by the Government (the "Wheatley Review"), has launched a Discussion Paper (the "Paper") setting out the initial proposals for reform of the current framework for setting and governing LIBOR.
The Paper, published by HM Treasury on 10 August, provides a preliminary analysis of the current LIBOR system and the initial thoughts and commentary from the Wheatley Review.
Reform of LIBOR
Over recent months, details of the manipulation of the current LIBOR system have come to light and a significant number of crucial weaknesses have been identified. One thing is clear; it is not possible to continue with the LIBOR framework in its current form. The Wheatley Review seeks to restore credibility and trust to the system, which has become an integral part of our financial system.
The Paper suggests a number of ways to strengthen the current LIBOR framework, including improvements to the methods used to calculate LIBOR and enhancing the oversight of the LIBOR framework for greater transparency. It also considers alternatives to LIBOR and new benchmarks that may be developed to determine an interest rate.
Next steps
Respondents have until 7 September to comment on the suggestions in the Paper. The Wheatley Review aims to present the feedback it receives to the Chancellor of the Exchequer before the end of September 2012. This will allow sufficient time for any necessary changes to be made to the Financial Services Bill 2012-13.

The weekend was spent in KL, Malaysia; our Social Media team (below) went up for the long weekend. Ironically it was this social media team who was deprived from our usual oxygenating outlets (e.g. Tweetdeck and FourSquare) while in KL.
Much fun had, much money spent, many classic lines of the weekend - mostly those 'you had to be there' things, but pointless caves and their awesomeness were involved. The 4 of us shared a nice room and besides the toilet seat being constantly in the wrong position, everything was sweet. Plus, I had 3 bodyguards. Things are so very different from travelling alone.
We also stayed in a fancy hotel, and it's been a long time since that happened. Seemed like a life I'd long left behind. Refreshing.
Another remarkable fact was, there weren't any episodes or issues faced. No missing passports, stolen wallets, hotel booking glitches, heated arguments between roommates. I don't think I've ever been on a holiday/trip where nothing unexpected/unfortunate happened.
Lots of partying, Bar Sonic at Zouk - the Malaysian version - and Neutral which was near our hotel.
I think I prefer KL Zouk to our Zouk, though ours has been named one of the top nightclubs in the wholeee world. KL scene, at least what I saw of it, is not at all (or barely) pretentious. They didn't have any of the reasons why I stopped going to Zouk (SG) in the first place.
I miss travelling so much it kinda hurts (really) and quick getaway for helped momentarily subside my wandering needs. As much fun as it is being with the group, I love my sneaky solo time, such as the book+wine+pasta afternoon (right) I enjoyed.
I would've spent a lot more time there soaking in the genius that is Jack Kerouac - and I can't believe he and I were unacquainted for this long - but upon realising I had forgotten to bring my notebook (the paper kind) I panicked and left, feeling a bit naked. Cannot help but need to scribble. Besides, there were boys who needed beer back at the hotel.
Shopping, parties, sleeping at 6am and waking up for a late lunch, afternoon movies on HBO and (relatively) cheap but slightly fancy restaurants/cafes - really, do we have to go to work tomorrow?

While the west part if this tiny red dot island lacks a variety of better and more sophisticated restaurants, there are still many down to earth places with good food except you must be prepared to sweat it out most of the time. Some of the my favourites like Bak Chor Mee, Braised Pig Trotters, Satay Bee Hoon, Hand made Curry Puffs and Tze Char can be found on this part of the island.I have been patronizing Rong Guang Seafood BBQ long before they were discovered by the media and subsequent hub. They started off as a single stall offering the usual standard fared of BBQ Stingray and other seafood plus some simple side dishes like sambal kang kong and fried rice. While the menu wasn't big then and most customers already know what they wanted before finding their own seats, the food speaks for itself. The special chili paste for the grilled fish and seafood, the wonderful sambal that comes with the fried rice and the generous portions help the business grew quickly by word of mouth.I have had both great experiences and some disappointments for the countless times I have been there but I must say that they always try to do better during setbacks which occurs mainly in transitional periods like new menu extension, new outlet opening, slam night (culinary jargon for full house). Most of their recipes were perfected through trial and error and I am happy to share with all reading this post what are their best signature dishes.
Their Seafood Fried Rice is one of their signature staples. I have never been a fan of fried rice by Tze Char Stalls because other than some wok flavour (hei), nothing else is interesting. Rong Guang's Seafood Fried Rice is the only one I go for because they make it has always been tasty since I tried it the first time. Besides the nice seafood (prawns and squid rings), they also add in a generous amount of egg, spring onions and cabbage, which are also the essential elements of good fried rice. The accompanying sambal chili was a big booster to the already fragrant fried rice and you can taste the flavours of dried shrimp and belachan. Mixed with the fried rice, it's absolutely fantastic.
The house signature which is their BBQ Stingray on Banana Leaf is the dish that propelled them to their current level of fame. The lip smacking sambal chili is one of the best that I have tasted around, well balanced with chilies and other fragrant spices. You can't really go wrong with stingray and its quite a fatty fish so even when slightly overcooked, you end up with crispy edges and the bones being naturally soft are great to chew on and a good source of calcium. Given a squeeze of calamansi lime and some onion chinchialok relish on the side with a good dose of fresh coriander leaves, its absolutely "Shiok!" till you sweat in your scalp. My ultimate fantasy is to serve this sambal with my favourite pickled fennel which I cure freshly sliced fennel with lemon juice, sugar and fresh dill. This can only happen when I pack the fish home instead of having it there.
Rong Guang has since expanded in the last two years, taking on a new outlet at the junction of Clement and Ulu Pandan Roads. The location had been a failure for most previous restaurant ventures and so far RG has not only survived, they have also managed to pack in the crowds on weekends. Parking is ample and the food does the talking.New items on the menu include Guinness Stout Pork Ribs which was very done very well on my second visit than the first when they just opened. I was disappointed on the first round but had decided to give it a second chance. This time round, the meat was tender and not mushy due to an overdose of sodium bicarbonate. The Stout sauce had its winey character with nice sweetness and sesame fragrance. Most important it was just enough to coat the meat and nothing excess like the last round that made us feel that the meat had been drowned by the sauce.
Mee Goreng Seafood Style was well fried and fragrant, the wok hei being a important factor for this dish. My wife N, who is not a fan of Hokkien Noodles found this version going down well with her palate. Noodles were well fried yet moist and the seafood condiments like prawns and cuttlefish were generous. She was tempted to order another plate but I preferred to try other dishes.
Their yam pot still needs improvement on both the yam ring and sauce for the seafood and meat filling. Though the portion was big, the yam ring lacks a five spice fragrance and the pastry was not fluffy at all. Too dense, I would prefer more shortening and flour. The filing could also do better with a little more sauce since the yam was too dense.Most day, sambal kang kong is their staple and sometimes they offer sweet potato leaves as well. The vegetables are consistently well fried but sometimes I prefer them to add a little more dried prawns. One thing though, if u are going to order this, skip the fried rice or the flavours would be too confusing.Another item that I like is their Prawn Rolls or Hae Chor as it is commonly known locally. This time round they were a let down and it was over fried and somewhat a little bitter due to the burnt edges. Other times I have eaten, they came out pretty well, crispy on the outside, nice and moist interior with crunchy bits of water chestnuts. Somehow, there will always be a lousy day for the kitchen and I guess this was one.RG has other interesting items on their menus on a daily basis. Other good recomendations include their Steamed Herbal Chicken, Crispy Baby Squids and Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs (Pai Kuat Wong).

Not only will Kiehl's skincare be the first beauty company in over 30 years to appear in the Tournament of Roses parade, but they'll be bringing their motorcycles with them. You see, Kiehl's President Chris Salgardo is a huge motorcycle fan and it's become the symbol of the company's spirit of adventure. Besides, the company is known for using natural ingredients and quite a few of those ingredients–sunflowers, roses, pear blossoms, pears, peonies–will make-up the float.
The Kiehl's float will showcase their original apothecary, which is still open to the public in New York's East Village, and highlight their three philanthropic endeavors: HIV/AIDS Awareness, The Environment and Children's Causes.
This year, the theme of the Rose Parade is "Inspiring a Beautiful World', and Kiehl's has a few stories of their own to tell:
Timothy Brown will be riding in the vintage sidecar motorcycle, and is the first person in the world cured of HIV. Brown's story — arguably one of the most fascinating and followed in the realm of HIV research and science — began in 1995 when he was diagnosed with HIV while attending school in Berlin where for the next 11 years, doctors treated him successfully with anti-retroviral therapy. Timothy has stepped further into the limelight to become a voice and leader in the search for a cure for HIV for everyone everywhere, becoming an advocate for the rights of those living with HIV and AIDS around the world giving hope to millions.
Seventeen-year-old Evan Dumas, of Culver City Unified School District, will be riding in the sidecar of the second motorcycle. Evan represents Kiehl's commitment to improving the environment through Recycle Across America, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to simplifying the act of recycling for the general public in order help them recycle more and correctly.

Red Sox avoid arbitration with 9; OF Betts still unsigned
The Boston Red Sox avoided arbitration with all but one of their eligible players on Friday -- star outfielder Mookie Betts.
The team announced that it agreed to terms with nine players on one-year contracts: shortstop Xander Bogaerts, outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., utility man Brock Holt, catchers Sandy Leon and Christian Vazquez, left-handers Drew Pomeranz and Eduardo Rodriguez and right-handers Joe Kelly and Brandon Workman.
Rodriguez, Vazquez and Workman were eligible for the first time and will make $2.375 million, $1.45 million and $835,000, respectively, according to multiple reports. Bogaerts ($7.05 million), Bradley ($6.1 million), Holt ($2.225 million) and Leon ($1.95 million) were in their second year of eligibility, while Pomeranz ($8.5 million) and Kelly ($3.825 million) were in their third. Pomeranz and Kelly are set to become free agents next offseason.
The Red Sox are set for an arbitration hearing with Betts next month after failing to reach a deal prior to Friday's deadline to do so. Betts is eligible for arbitration for the first time in his career this offseason and has filed at $10.5 million. The Red Sox countered at $7.5 million, according to a report from FanRag Sports.
Betts' desired $10.5 million is just short of the record deal the Chicago Cubs handed third baseman Kris Bryant (one year, $10.85 million) on Friday in his first year of eligibility.
Betts, 25, doesn't have an MVP to his name like Bryant, but finished second in the American League voting for the award in 2016. The outfielder regressed some last season, slashing .264/.344/.459 but still hit 24 home runs, drove in 102 runs and stole 26 bases.
The two-time All-Star is also an elite defender in right field, winning Gold Gloves each of the last two seasons.
The Red Sox exercised their right to renew Betts' contract last offseason after they were unable to agree to a one-year deal with him. They gave him $950,000, at the time the second-highest amount awarded to a player with less than three years of MLB service time behind Mike Trout's $1 million from the Los Angeles Angels in 2014. Bryant later set a new record in receiving $1.05 million from the Cubs.

New Narratives, Bold Ideas: A Conversation on Race and Inequality with Economist Darrick Hamilton
The story of America's history is often told through the lens of rugged individualism — a nation that prospers because success and wealth are available to all who work hard enough. This narrative, which has found new life in recent election debates, is deeply problematic because it fundamentally ignores the ways in which powerful government systems have embedded opportunity into certain communities, and systematically denied it to others. Unpacking the causes and consequences of these systems — health care, taxes, finance, criminal justice, and others — on racial and economic inequality in the United States is at the heart of Darrick Hamilton's life's work.
An associate professor of economics and urban policy at The New School and current president of the National Economic Association (formerly Caucus of Black Economists), Hamilton spoke with America's Tomorrow about the power of narrative in today's racial politics and the bold, scalable reforms he believes are necessary to address America's legacy of inequality and disinvestment.
In your work you critique the prevailing narrative around race and opportunity in America as a "post-racial myth." Can you explain what you mean by this?
The post-racial narrative is remarkably consistent across party lines and across racial groups — it has become knee-jerk in American politics. It says that a lot of the legacies of discrimination have been dealt with within the Civil Rights movement, and the remaining disparities are the results of actions or inactions on the part of Black communities themselves. Embedded in this is the notion of personal responsibility — that Blacks need to recognize their own complicity in perpetuating inequality. From the President to leaders in the GOP to members within the Black community, you hear rhetoric that is couched in this expectation that it is up to Blacks to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and government's role should be to incentivize them to do so.
The problem is this narrative is wrong. It ignores the large structural barriers that continue to exist in our society, it ignores the way that the existing distribution of wealth empowers certain populations and disempowers others, and it ignores the very large role that government continues to play in influencing markets so that they continue to benefit those who already hold wealth — who are disproportionately White. Take the mortgage interest deduction in our taxes — though it supposedly is intended to help Americans build wealth, it's not putting people into homes, it's rewarding those who already have homes. And if we look at the history of homeownership in America, we see that it was the government that generated a White middle class following World War II by giving returning veterans access to free higher education, low-interest loans to start businesses, and low-cost mortgages through the G.I. Bill. These policies were not extended broadly, however, and Black veterans in particular were not given the same access, and the legacy of that inequality is passed forward. Overcoming inequality is not about "incentivizing" Black communities because it's not about their behavior, it's about the resources — the endowment — they've been deprived of.
What kind of policies do you propose to empower, instead of "incentivize," Black communities?
Capitalism without capital locks in inequality, so if we're going to have a capitalist system, let's arm people with the capital to be able to participate in it. The problem of inequality is bold, so our solutions must be bold and they must build wealth and assets.
Baby Bonds: My colleague William Darity and I have talked a lot about baby bonds — endowing every child with a protected, government trust account that will mature when the child becomes an adult and can be used for some asset-enhancing activity. They would be funded on a scale — so you imagine Oprah Winfrey's kid would get $500, but a poor family might have up to $50,000 per child, with an average somewhere around $20,000. These baby bonds would provide individuals with seed capital so they can invest in some asset that will appreciate over time: they can put a down payment on a house, have a debt-free higher education, or start a business. This wouldn't guarantee success, but it would provide assets to empower the opportunity for success.
Federal Job Guarantee: The biggest problem with labor bargaining power is the threat of unemployment. When unemployment rates are high, the threat of being destitute causes workers to accept lower wages and bad working conditions. But if we guarantee federal jobs that offer living wages and benefits — like most government jobs do — to anyone who wants one, we solve a lot of problems. It would dramatically reduce the need for health insurance reform because everyone would have access to a job with benefits, and the private sector will have to do the same to attract workers. It would drive wages up in the private sector because businesses would have to compete with the living-wage government jobs. Considering the country needs billions of dollars in infrastructure repairs that the private sector is not currently incentivized to take on, it would be feasible to create public works projects like we have in the past to create more public jobs.
Curriculum Reform: The way we structure our curriculum in grade schools right now, we end up with not only segregation across schools, but within schools. We have structured classes so that predominantly White students are placed in the higher-achieving classes and Black students in lower-achieving ones. Instead, we should be thinking about how we can give everyone access to the "talented and gifted" curriculum, and to quality teachers who are sympathetic to the students they are dealing with.
We have precedent for these kinds of programs: federal jobs through the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Depression, asset investments through the G.I. Bill, huge investments in universal grade school education. This dominant myth that markets are the ideal solution for every problem, economic or otherwise, is distracting from the fact that government can, and has been, effective at connecting Americans to resources and opportunity.
As an economist who studies racial inequality, what do you think is necessary to build an inclusive, thriving economy?
I think we need to change the whole narrative around how we define economic health. The focus should not simply be on reducing the deficit. This current focus on reducing spending is ironically at odds with economic health, because by focusing only on reducing the deficit you are often stifling growth by cutting government spending, programs, and other sources of stimulus. Rather, we need to talk about the ways in which our economy is enabling to the greatest human capabilities of its citizens. The measure of our economic success should be: How well is this society allowing people to achieve the goals they set for themselves to their fullest extent?

Despite Erebus' neutrality, not all Titanspawn who dwell in the depths of the Overworld share this tendency. A famous example is Dolgrund, Shadow King of the underground kingdom of An'leth.
An'leth, realm of living shadows and dark reflections, exists in the depths of Erebus' realm, but does not share the chaotic, mad tendencies common in other Titanspawn of Darkness. Instead, Dolgrund possesses a strong, organized, and loyal army, which he uses to send to war against his rivals and ever-increase the influence of An'leth. His expansionist takeover of the underground Titanrealm of Patala often puts him at odds with Crom Cruach's Fomorians along with Dis Pater.

HVAC systems
Back to 1902 when Willis carrier an american engineer who invented the first air condition,and behind his vision to solve a humidity problem found in a publishing company .carrier thought that in order to solve this humidity problem,the air inside the building must be treated by blowing it across chilled pipes.The air cooled as it passed across the cold pipes, and since cool air can't carry as much moisture as warm air, the process reduced the humidity in the plant and stabilized the moisture content of the paper. Reducing the humidity also had the side benefit of lowering the air temperature .this was absolutely the born of a new technology by treating the air and make it cooler. with the passage of time air conditioning systems experienced a big progresses and changes with the concept and the ways the air is being treated and cooled using several engineering techniques adopted […]

Ok, i don't know specifically what i'm doing this summer, but there's one thing i want to do...
put out a trip-hop/hardcore album.
i need a break from "contemporary classical" or whatever you want to call it. i need to rock out.
record vocals with a vintage shure 55
spend time creating sonic textures from recorded sounds
and put out an "pop" album and see if anyone likes it.
there all things we need to do. mine is change it up...it's hard writing "contemporary classical" when it's all i see and hear. I'm used to doing concerts. it's weird not having that.
and when i hear Portishead followed by Rise Against! followed by Bjork followed by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, i end up wanting to do an album like them. there's so much energy there, so my feeling
my music still lacks that in the "CC" form...it's not expressing me yet. and sometimes i wonder if i even can...

Online Games – Can We Make Money Playing Them?
When we refer to online games we are normally referring to video type games that we play on a computer via the internet. Some video games are played over the internet using mobile phones and video consoles, but generally speaking online games means computer games that need an internet connection to be played. Simple text-based multiplayer games were the first of these types of games as internet connections were slow and expensive when these games were first introduced in the 1980s. Gradually these games became popular in the 1990s, with today's online games featuring virtual communities, realistic graphics and multiplayer games where people can even play one to one or in knock out tournaments for cash prizes. We all know that the internet is the fastest growing market place in the history of the world but did you know that there is an online games sector that is growing 4 times faster than the internet overall! Yes! and it's the "Online Skill Games" market.There are many styles of Online GamesSome of the different types of online games that exist:1. Real time strategy games: This type of game is all about strategy where, for your army to fight successfully against the other internet players you need to develop a game plan by building lots of resources2. First person shooter: Here the players compete with each other one to one. In most first-person type games, the online game allows the death match or arena style of play. In this style of game play the view you see is the one seen from your character's eyes.3. Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG): In this type of game each person has to keep trying to reach the next highest level until he has reached the top one written for that game and these online games can have, simultaneously, thousands of players from every part of the globe, playing in a giant virtual world interacting against or with each other. Gamers can keep playing these types of games for months or even years!4. Browser type games: These are pastime games that are quick, simple and small that are played in your browser. The popular Java and Shockwave technologies are used to develop these games.5. Online skill games: An online skill based game is a web game played in tournament format or one to one. Each player pays a cash entry fee to play with a cash or merchandise prize going to the winner or winners. The outcome of each competition is based on the player's ability and performance not luck.How Do Online Game Companies Make MoneyAll games today, are playable online. How do we make money? This is the question that companies making the online games have to ask themselves. The majority of companies make single-player games that are played at home and in this the player has to beat the artificial intelligence of the enemy. Today these games normally include an online multiplayer version which can be played against or with other Internet players. By selling their game DVD/CDs is how these companies earn their profit e.g. Warcraft 3 and Counter Strike. Advertising and promotions is how browser game companies make their money. MMORPG companies generally charge their players a monthly fee and continue to add content by programming new scenarios etc in their games e.g. Everquest 2 and World of Warcraft. Some don't, but survive because their DVD/CD sales are high e.g. Guild Wars.What is the future of online games?Soon there will be a new entry into the online skill games market. According to their Free Online Games Market Report they will be the first company with their new online skill games platform, to launch a business that encapsulates three of the newest phenomena on the internet today. Online Games Entertainment, Social Networking using web 2.0 and a new way of marketing which has been described as Social Marketing 2.0. One of the core differences with this new platform over the conventional models is that we the players can if we want share in the profits while we play our games. With the market today (2007) worth approximately $5.2 billion USD and predicted to rise in the next 3 years to over $13 billion USD that's $412 per second and with social networking sites already reaching 45% of web users and the 4 major Instant Messengers having more than 400 million users between them this potentially could be a whole lot of money.

This wobbly oak chair was loose enough that I was able to take it apart to re-glue it.
I began by removing the wood plugs and screws from the arms. Then used a rubber mallet to disassemble the stretchers and legs. As with most chairs I re-glue, the back frame was solid and did not have to be taken apart.
Next, the old glue was scraped off the connecting joinery.
I then applied new wood glue, re-assembled the chair, and clamped the joints tight until the glue was dry.
The screws and wood plugs were reinstalled, and the chair was waxed with American Custom Paste Wax (light oak).
This oak chair was re-glued for a Lakeville CT client.

F*ck You Very Much
My current obsession is Lily Allen
Bubbly, happy notes bounce in the background while her sweetly serene British voice purrs about materialism, sexual inadequacy, excessive drug use, and haters.
And what's funny is that I don't normally listen to music which has those kind of themes. But her cheerful melodies and glossy story-telling seduced me the very first time I heard "The Fear."
And then my friend Zac introduced me to "You."
I had to have more.
Anyone who can sing "fuck you" over and over again and make it sound like a Care Bear song is brilliant, in my book.
And have I mentioned she's absolutely adorable?

Jintropin High quality HGH
Jintropin has been a mainstay of the HGH buying public for many years now. Most people think that it only comes from China but you can buy Jintropin in Russia and Mexico as well. This is because Gensci licence it to be made in these countries.
Its a high quality product which is tested at every level
This means it is original Jintropin and not some Russian copy. You can buy it with confidence that you are getting a premier product. Its not only an excellent product its relatively cheap compared to other western brands.
The lab tests results show Jintropin is high grade pure HGH
Jintropin is manufactured under strict government control
- Its made under qualitative guidelines imposed by governing bodies. This ensures the same quality is produced consistently.
- Jintropin is made under to GMP FDA standards. This is the protocol that all other quality HGH products must adhere to to be licensed. These include other makers such as Pfizer, Lilly and Merck.
- Very hard to fake. Jintropin now has several security features which means its very hard to fake. The seal has fibres in it which fakers find it impossible to replicate.
- Authentication system. Each box has a unique sticker with fibres and serials on it and it's very difficult to forge them. You can spot a fake easily. You can also verify them on the Gensci web page. So as to avoid buying fake Jintropin.
The reputation of Jintropin
The reputation of Jintropin took a knock a few years ago when people started to complain about the quality of the product. However this was not really the fault of Gensci as it was the fakers that flooded the market with low quality replicas. Gensci now have the problem under control with all the security features we have spoken about.
What kind of help will taking Jintropin give me?
- Will provide an increase in muscle cells
- Increase in bone mass
- Stabilises blood pressure
- Improves skin tone and elasticity
- Improves cholesterol profile
- Increases libido
- Increases strength
- Bolsters the immune system
- Quickens healing
How to identify real Jintropin
- The sticker has a special scratch panel, under which the unique code of the kit is found.
- Generally, each kit contains vials with HGH powder and ampules with bacteriostatic water. Some of the kits also contain syringes depending on which one they are. This can be very useful.
There are two kinds of Jintropin on the market today: Jintropin replica (it has Chinese hieroglyphs) and genuine Jintropin Europharm (the box has Cyrillic letters)
Please be aware that we now send bigger orders of Jintropin in combination of 100iu and 200iu Kits. This means if you ordered 500iu we would send you 2x200iu plus 100iu. The 200iu Kits have no water contained in them. If you need water and dont want to source it yourself please let us know and we will arrange some for you.
We want you to be completely satisfied with your Jintropin purchase.

Do you struggle with not feeling confident? While therapy and coaching can help, it may also be of benefit to address your diet and exercise schedules.
The Connection
When you eat well and exercise, it may help boost your self-confidence. Why? Here are some thoughts.
* Body image - While exercising won't necessarily result in the perfect body, it does tend to give you a sense that you are being proactive about your health; you're doing the right thing and working toward getting fit. Recognizing this - even if you can't get rid of those love handles - can help you feel more confident in yourself.
* Mood food - The food you eat can affect your mood, sources say, which in turn affects your confidence. Low blood sugar can cause you to feel grouchy and easily annoyed, and a diet high in sugar may contribute to depression (the ultimate in low confidence!). Lean protein combined with complex carbohydrates is a winning combination.
* Endorphins - Exercise stimulates your body to produce endorphins, which are brain chemicals that help you feel good. These substances play a role in relieving depression and improving mood.
* Energy level - If you're struggling with self-confidence, feeling sluggish doesn't help. Exercise and a healthy diet are key elements to feeling energetic and, ultimately, confident.
* Vitamins and minerals - Your confidence is affected by how you look and feel, and getting the right vitamins and minerals is important for things like teeth, skin, and hair. When these aspects of your appearance are healthy and at their optimum, it helps you feel better about yourself.
Specifically, some vitamins and minerals are directly implicated in improving mood and, consequently, confidence. These include B-complex vitamins and Vitamin D. In fact, fat-soluble Vitamin D is sometimes used by medical professionals to treat Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). When you are getting the right amount of key vitamins and minerals, you are much more likely to feel confident in yourself.
Please Note: This information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions about your medical condition. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking advice or treatment because of something you have read here.
* Productivity - When your energy and confidence levels are up due to exercise and diet, you are much more likely to be more productive in work, school, and relationships. And this becomes a positive cycle - increased productivity boosts your confidence even more.
* Positive effects - If you begin to exercise and eat healthfully, you may find yourself looking better - you may experience weight loss, better muscle tone, and healthier skin. Looking in the mirror and liking what you see can go a long way toward boosting confidence!

It's been amazing year for Cropp.me. When we opened it to the public, the cropping tool was featured in TheNextWeb, Gizmodo, LifeHacker and many, many other blogs known and unown to us. People started writing their own reviews, coming up with ideas for additional features, giving us tips on how to improve the service, requesting API access for the cropping. It's really touching when you see tool as small and simple (but smart) as Cropp.me to be so much loved and most importantly - used.
Here's great video tutorial on how you can use Cropp.me. We could not make it better, thank you!
by Chris Georgiev
Cropping sounds trivial, right? But how do you feel about the face, the body, or another important object in the image being cut in half when you generate square thumbnails to feature some of the images from your collection on the homepage of your site? Here are five reasons to love our smart cropping API:
And a bonus one: you can get very creative, for example by showcasing really nice looking collages and listing of your images cropped in different sizes and still to be sure that the most visually important parts are well preserved no mater of the aspect ratio, thanks to the smart-cropping :)
Already feel excited about it? Request a free trial API account here!
by Georgi Kadrev
We are very excited to announce that we just achieved a major milestone - we fully automated the process of creating trial API accounts for people who want try out our technologies immediately!
This comes along with the launch of our new website. You can use the API request form there to apply for free access to the color extraction and multi-color search and smart cropping and slicing APIs. Just a few clicks away from getting immediate access to the technologies:
Simply fill in your name, contact details and briefly mention how do you plan to use the API:
In a few second you'll get a confirmation e-mail that we've received your request, and in less than an hour you'll receive another e-mail containing all API credentials and a PHP kit. You can use the kit as a blue-print for integratimg the technologies in your own web projects.
Even if PHP is not the platform of your choice - you can use the PHP kit and the API documentation as a reference how to do it in your own platform of choice.
In fact we (as a startup) are more than open for people willing to contribute. So if you use the APIs in another platform and you have already implemented a client - we will highly appreciate to share it with us and the community. Also, we are starting to hire soon, so this may be a big plus for those of you who decide to apply :)
